COMMISSIONS, TAX-- TASK FORCES, ECONOMIC CORPORATIONS.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT CORPORATIONS. MEANT APPOINTMENTS.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR, WE DID NOT MEET THIS WEEK SO I HAVE NO UPDATES ON THAT. IF ANYONE ON THE SUBCOMMITTEE

WANTS TO COMMENT. >> WE DID RECEIVE A COUPLE APPLICATIONS. RICK WANTED TO SPEAK.

WE RECEIVED ONE APPLICATION FOR I THINK LIBRARY.

AND I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER THE OTHER ONE.

>> WE RECEIVED TWO APPLICATIONS. >> WE DON'T HAVE AN OPENING ON

THAT ONE. >> THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME.

RICK HUDSON. TOLD YOU I WOULD FORGET.

>> ALL GOOD. ALL GOOD.

>> RICK HUDSON, THE CHERUB PLANNING AND ZONING.

AND I WANT TO ADDRESS COUNCIL TO KIND OF EXPEDITE A REQUEST.

TUESDAY NIGHT I WAS REMINDED THAT COMMISSIONER HAZEL SHARAD WILL BE LEAVING PNC AT THE END OF JUNE.

AND THE REQUEST IS SINCE SHE IS LEAVING AND WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE UVC REVISION, REVISION REWRITE REVIEW, ALL OF THAT, THE ASK IS TO APPOINT, OR HAVE THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE APPOINT SOMEONE SO THEY ARE DESIGNATED AND THEY CAN AT LEAST OBSERVE, NOT PARTICIPATE, BUT OBSERVE AND START TO GET UP TO SPEED ON THIS MASSIVE PROJECT. RATHER THAN COMING IN JULY AND BEING BEHIND THE CURVE. SO THAT IS THE ASK.

BARRING THAT, IF THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE, THEN I GUESS MY ASK

[00:30:07]

WOULD BE TO THE CITIZENS OF HUTTO, APPLY.

SHOW UP. APPLIED.

PLEASE. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE AN OPENING, IT'S REJECTED, WE ARE GOING TO NEED THAT SEAT FILLED.

>> THANK YOU, SIR. >> EIGHTY-TWO, CONSIDERABLE--

[8.2. Consideration and possible action regarding recommendations or updates from City Council sub-committees (i.e. HISD).]

CONSIDERATION OF HOUSE ACTION REGARDING THE CITY COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEES. WE DID MEET THE PUBLIC SAFETY

PLEASE SUBCOMMITTEE? >> YES, YESTERDAY.

>> WE MET. AND I THINK ANY COST THAT CAN BE WRUNG OUT THAT'S APPROPRIATE TO RING OUT IS KIND OF WRUNG OUT, SAFE TO SAY. RIGHT NOW THE POLICE STATION IS LOOKING TO BE JUST NORTH, OF A CONSERVATIVE FIGURE OF $51 MILLION, AND I BELIEVE THAT WOULD BE A 40 SOMETHING THOUSAND

SQUARE-FOOT BUILDING? >> WITH THE OUTBUILDING IT'S

RIGHT AROUND 47,000. >> SO CONSIDERABLY BIGGER THAN CITY HALL. BUT IT SPACE BAR TODAY AND SOMEWHAT TOMORROW. ENDED PROVIDES ROOM FOR ORIGINALLY-- IT WAS GIVEN TO US AS A 7000 SQUARE-FOOT COURTROOM, AND WE DISCUSSED A RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL, I GUESS YOU GUYS CAN EMAIL ME OTHERWISE, BUT THE RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCILS TO NOT DO COURTROOM, THAT THE PUBLIC COULD USE OCCASIONALLY, TO DO IT AS AN E JOSI PREP FOR DISPATCH AND A SERVICE TO WHERE THE PUBLIC CAN USE IT IN THE MEANTIME BETWEEN NOW AND THE NIGHT THAT IT'S ART SERVICE.

SO WE HAVE A COMMUNITY SPACE FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE THINGS THAT.

>> AND THE COURT COULD USE IT, BUT IT WOULD NOT BE BUILT OUT AS A COURTROOM. THE OPEN INTENTION IS TO HAVE A SEPARATE COURTHOUSE OUT THERE IN ABOUT TEN YEARS, WHENEVER IT'S

NEEDED. >> $5 MILLION TO BUILD A COURTROOM, AS IT WAS PRESENTED, WE DID NOT WANT THAT TO GIVE PEOPLE THE URGE TO WRITE MORE TICKETS, AND AS YOU MORE FINDS.

SO I THINK WE ARE GOING TO TRY TO FIND A WAY WITH JUDGE WILSON TO MAKE IT WORK. BUT WITH THE COMMUNITY FIRST.

>> WHAT WAS THE ESTIMATED COST? >> CONSERVATIVELY, 51 AND SOME CHANGE INCLUDING COST OVERRUNS. BUT THAT DID NOT INCLUDE UTILITIES, AND A ROAD THAT NEEDS TO BE PUT IN THAT WERE HOPING WE CAN GET SOME HELP WITH. AND THE RECOMMENDATION IS STILL TO BRING IT TO COUNCIL TO HAVE IT ON THE BALLOT, TO VOTE ON IT, TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT A NEW POLICE STATION IS SOMETHING THAT WILL CAUSE TAXES TO GO UP. AND MOST OF US HAVE SAID THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO RAISE TAXES. BUT IF THE PUBLIC VOTES TO DO IT, THAT SEE PUBLIC TELLING US THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO.

BIG EXPENDITURE TO THE PUBLIC. QUESTIONS? THAT'S THE ONLY SUBCOMMITTEE WE HAD.

ALL RIGHT. AND A LITTLE BIT OF HOUSE HOUSEKEEPING, THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE, IF THERE IS NO OBJECTIONS FROM COUNCIL LED LIKE TO DO 9.1, 9.2, 9.3.

PRESENTATIONS TO THE PUBLIC, ALIBI ARE EST ITEM AND A SMALL IBSA ITEM, AND THEN WE CAN GET TO THE REST OF THE AGENDA.

[9.1. Recognition of outgoing Councilmember Peter Gordon. ]

ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT ONE WE HAVE IS 9.1.

RECOGNITION OF "AND COUNCILMEMBER PETER GORDON.

[INDISCERNIBLE] >> NO.

[LAUGHTER] >> YOU HAVE TO ON THIS ONE.

>> BE SURE TO INCLUDE THE APPOINTMENTS TO THAT THING.

>> TONIGHT IT IS MY HONOR TO RECOGNIZE THE TIME AND COMMITMENT OF COUNCILMEMBER-- THAT COUNCILMEMBER PETER GORDON HAS GIVEN TO THIS COMMUNITY. I HAVE A WRITTEN PREPARED STATEMENT AND SOME TOKENS WE WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT YOU WITH FOR KEEPSAKES. TONIGHT WE WANT TO RECOGNIZE PETER GORDON AS HE CONCLUDES HIS SERVICE ON THE HUTTO

[00:35:03]

CITY COUNCIL. ANYONE WHO STEPS UP TO SERVE ON CITY COUNCIL DOES SO WITH A VISION AND A GENERAL DESIRE-- GENUINE DESIRE TO GET BACK TO THE COMMUNITY.

AND IN DOING SO UNDESERVING SO MANY DIFFERENT ROLES, CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE THAT MAKES ALL THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR AWARDS AND COMMISSIONS, HE HAS BEEN ON NUMEROUS SEVEN-- SUBCOMMITTEES, I DON'T EVEN KNOW OF THEM ALL. HE HAS DONE IT OVER SEVEN YEARS.

THIS IS A TRUE TESTAMENT TO HIS TIME AND COMMITMENT TO OUR CITY.

A LOT HAS HAPPENED OVER THOSE SEVEN YEARS.

A NEW CITY HALL, A NEW DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, HE WAS PART OF SEEING US THROUGH SOME SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. INCLUDING THE INSTRUCTION OF KRUEGER BOULEVARD, THE VETERANS MEMORIAL, THE TS D.C. OWNERSHIP CORPORATION. THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT EXPANSION, THE WATER SUPPLIES THROUGH-- FROM INFRASTRUCTURE TO LONG-TERM PLANNING, COUNCILOR GORDON HAS HAD A SEAT AT THE TABLE. AND ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF HUTTO, IT IS MY HONOR TO RECOGNIZE YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATED SERVICE AND THE LASTING MARK YOU HAVE PUT ON THIS COMMUNITY.

[APPLAUSE] >> THE ITEMS WE HAVE FOR YOU FIRST IS A PLAQUE. SUITABLE FOR FRAMING, OR IN THIS CASE IT'S ALREADY FRAMED. SO JUST STICK IT UP ON THE WALL.

IT SAYS PETER GORDON, IN GRATEFUL APPRECIATION FOR YOUR SERVICE AND DEDICATION TO THE RESIDENTS OF HUTTO.

CITY COUNCIL MAY 2019 TO MAY 2026.

[APPLAUSE] >> ABBY, WANTED TO PRESENT THIS ONE. SO I CAN TALK.

I CAN'T REALLY OPEN IT AND SHOW IT.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS RELATIVELY NEW THAT WE STARTED DOING. STAFF WENT THROUGH ALL OF OUR ARCHIVE OF PHOTOS, OF EVERYTHING WE COULD FIND THAT HAD PETER IN THEM DURING HIS TIME ON COUNCIL, AND PRODUCED A PHOTO MEMORY BOOK FOR HIM. MANY OF THEM HAVE NOTES AND THINGS WE CAN IDENTIFY SO WE CAN REMEMBER TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH HIS GRANDCHILDREN AND ANYONE ELSE HE WANTS TO SHOW IT TO. AND LASTLY, FLOWERS.

[APPLAUSE] >> JUST LEAVE THEM THERE.

THOSE ARE MORE FOR LAURA. AND ON MAY 21ST WE WILL BE SWEARING IN YOUR REPLACEMENT. AT THAT TIME WE WILL PRESENT YOUR NAMEPLATE AND YOUR CITY HALL PHOTO.

CONGRATULATIONS. [APPLAUSE]

>> PETER AND I JOINED THE COUNCIL AT THE SAME TIME.

THE ONLY REASON I AM HERE IS I SWITCHED POSITIONS.

BUT WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH A LOT. WE DON'T AGREE ALL THE TIME.

BUT THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF TIMES WE DID AGREE.

WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH SOME OF THE HARDEST TIMES.

WE STARTED TOGETHER DURING COVID.

DURING A HUGE RESTRUCTURING OF CITY HALL THAT LEFT A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT KNEW A LOT OF WHAT CITY HALL WAS, AND WE HAD THREE CITY MANAGER-- MANAGERS, TWO INTERIM CITY MANAGER'S.

AND THROUGH ALL THAT I TELL PEOPLE, AS YOU HEARD BEFORE, I MORE OF A DIRECT PERSON. AND WHEN IT COMES TO COMMUNICATING, PETER HIS-- HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE YEN TO THE YANG.

I ALWAYS SAY MY BEING TOO TOUGH HERE WITH THIS.

I'M ALWAYS LIKE LET'S GO. AND ALL OF THAT.

THERE'S BEEN TIMES THAT HAVE GOTTEN FIRED UP IN ME A COUPLE TIMES. SO THAT'S BOUND TO HAPPEN

OCCASIONALLY. >> HE STIRRED ME SWEAR.

>> I HAVE. BUT I THINK I'VE DONE THAT TO EVERYBODY AT LEAST ONCE. BUT I'M GOING TO MISS BEING UP HERE WITH YOU. I STILL PLAN TO ENGAGE YOU ON DIFFERENT THINGS. BECAUSE YOU DO HAVE A PULSE ON THE COMMUNITY AND IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO REPRESENT ALL THE COMMUNITY. SO I DON'T EXPECT THIS TO BE A

[00:40:01]

"PETER IS GONE". I THINK IT'S JUST A DIFFERENT ROLE, A DIFFERENT POSITION. I THINK I CAN HONESTLY SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, FOR EVERYTHING YOU PUT UP BETWEEN ME AND THE COUNCIL AND THE CITY IN GENERAL, OVER THE PAST SIX YEARS. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE IT.

[APPLAUSE] >> I DID PREPARE A STATEMENT.

AND I READ A STATEMENT? IS THAT OKAY? ALL RIGHT. I WAS FIRST SWORN IN AS HEAD OF CITY COUNCIL ON MAY 15TH 2019. MY REPLACEMENT WILL BE SWORN IN ON MAY 21ST, 2026. THAT MEANS FOR SEVEN YEARS AND SIX DAYS I HAVE BEEN SWORN NOT BY THE CITIZENS OF HUTTO.

[LAUGHTER] -- SWORN AT BY THE CITIZENS OF HUTTO. IN ALL THE THINGS THAT CAME IN THE SEVEN YEARS, I DID MY BEST TO WEIGH THE RESEARCH, TO MY PROS AND CONS, MAKE MY DECISIONS ON THE INFORMATION BEFORE ME.

EVEN WITH THAT APPROACH, I LEARNED VERY QUICKLY THAT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO PLEASE EVERYONE, ALL THE TIME.

SOME DECISIONS WILL MAKE, THE COMMUNITY HAPPY, THE OTHERS UPSET. OTHER DECISIONS WILL DO THE OPPOSITE. I REALIZED I WAS DOING FINE AS LONG AS I DIDN'T MAKE EVERYONE MAD AT ME ALL AT ONCE.

I AM PROUD OF THE POLICIES, PROJECTS AND DECISIONS THAT I PARTICIPATED IN AN THAT HAVE SHAPED HUTTO THAT WE HAVE SHAPED TODAY. MANY WHICH I THINK MIGHT NOT HAVE HAPPENED HAD I NOT BEEN HERE.

I TOOK THE LEAD IN REWRITING UP-- AND UPDATING COUNCIL PROTOCOLS, DEVELOPING A PROCESS FOR APPOINTMENTS TO BOARDS AND COMMITMENT-- COMMISSIONS. I PUSH FOR THE REINSTATEMENT OF HUTTO UNIVERSITY THREE YEARS AGO.

I HELPED NEGOTIATE THE NEW AGREEMENT WITH THE CO-OP DISTRICT THAT HELPED REINVIGORATE THE DEVELOPMENT YOUR CITY HALL, I VOTED TO BRING SKYBOX TO HUTTO, WHICH, WHEN FULLY OPERATIONAL, WILL HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT ON REDUCING THE TAX BURDEN ON THE CITIZENS THAN ANY OTHER PROJECT IN THE CITY-- HISTORY OF HUTTO. I SUPPORTED BRINGING TAX DOWN ON OUR SENIORS AND DISABLED VETERANS.

I ADVOCATED FOR SIDEWALKS TO BE ADDED IN MULTIPLE AREAS.

SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PEDESTRIAN PATH ON 199.

I PUSHED FOR THE VETERANS MEMORIAL TO THE WEST OF WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW. I HELP SECURE A HOME FOR OUR AMERICAN LEGION TO HELP THEM CONTINUE THE WORK WITH THE VETERANS. I TAKE A LONG-TERM APPROACH TO MANY DECISIONS, ENABLING CITIZENS TO BENEFIT LONG AFTER I HAVE LEFT OFFICE. I PUSHED FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION OF WRITS PART, A PLACE DESIGNED FOR FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS TO COME TOGETHER AND ENJOY THE OUTDOORS FOR DECADES TO COME.

I LED THE CHARGE TO IMPROVE AND INCREASE IN OUR WASTEWATER CAPACITY TO ENSURE THE CITY OPERATION.

AND TO SAVE THE RESIDENTS MILLIONS IN LONG-TERM DEBT BY AVOIDING SMALLER EXPANSIONS OVER THE YEARS.

I BROUGHT TO COUNCIL AND INNOVATIVE WASTEWATER TREATMENT CONCEPT THAT WILL BE TESTED OVER THE NEXT YEAR, OAKLEY MOVING US TO GREATER WATER REUSE IN THE FUTURE.

-- HOPEFULLY MOVING US TO GREATER WATER REUSE IN THE FUTURE. I VOTED TO HELP ENABLE THE YEAR OF THE ROAD, WHICH SHOULD BE CALLED YEARS OF THE ROAD.

SINCE WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO.

SPEAKING UPWARD TO DO, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY THINGS THAT I HAVE WORK TOWARDS THAT I HOPE THIS COUNCIL WILL ULTIMATELY BRING TO FRUITION. WE HAVE OUR 150TH FOUNDING ITEM PLANNED FOR TONIGHT, AND FOR CELEBRATION LATER THIS YEAR.

PLANS FOR THE NEW JUSTICE CENTER WE TALKED ABOUT.

I ALSO LOOK FORWARD TO IMPROVING THE BOULEVARD AND MANY OTHER ROAD PROJECTS THAT ARE NEEDED SO BADLY.

TO STAFF, THANK YOU TO THE TRIBUTE THAT YOU SHARE.

I HAVE LOVED WORKING WITH YOU. AND GETTING TO KNOW SO MANY OF YOU OVER THE YEARS. I WILL DEFINITELY MISS INTERACTING REGULARLY WITH YOU.

BUT DON'T BE SURPRISED IF I DROP BY TO SAY HELLO.

TO OUR CITY MANAGER, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE TO STABILIZE OUR CITY GOVERNMENT. WE WENT THROUGH A ROUGH PATCH WITH MANY CITY MANAGERS OVER ONE YEAR.

AND I'M GLAD WE SELECTED YOU TO THE ORGANIZATION IN 2022.

TO MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS, PAST AND PRESENT, THANK YOU FOR YOUR WILLINGNESS TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY.

I'M GLAD TO HAVE GOTTEN TO KNOW ALL OF YOU THROUGH THIS UNIQUE EXPERIENCE. I'M PROUD OF THE WORK WE HAVE DONE TOGETHER. WE MAY NOT HAVE ALWAYS AGREED ON EVERYTHING. BUT I BELIEVE WE WILL HAVE-- WE ALL HAVE THE BEST INTEREST IN OUR CITY AT THE CENTER BUT WE DO. TO MY DULY ELECTED REPLACEMENT, I WISH YOU THE VERY BEST IN YOUR NEW ADVENTURE.

BE TRUE TO YOURSELF AND BE TRUE TO THE CITIZENS AND YOU WILL DO FINE. WHAT IS NEXT FOR ME? DON'T WORRY. I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

HUTTO HAS BEEN OUR HOME SINCE 2001 AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE MANY YEARS TO COME. SERVICES AND MY BLOOD.

I'M SURE I WILL FIND WAY TO-- WAYS TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY THAT ARE JUST AS MEANINGFUL, IF NOT QUITE AS VISIBLE.

THANK YOU FOR THE FAITH AND TRUST AND SUPPORT YOU'VE GIVEN ME THE PAST SEVEN YEARS. THE EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN WONDERFUL. THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE] >> NEXT, ITEM 9.2.

[9.2. Discussion and possible action related to a light industrial project known as the Opus Development located outside the City of Hutto's wastewater Certificate of Necessity and Convenience. (Amanda Swor) ]

[00:45:08]

DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION RELATED TO A LIGHT INDUSTRIAL PROJECT, LOCATED OUTSIDE THE CITY OF HUTTO'S WASTEWATER CERTIFICATE OF NECESSITY AND CONVENIENCE.

AMANDA, I HAVE NOT SEEN YOU FOR A WHILE.

WELCOME. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MY NAME IS AMANDA SWOR.

I'M HERE THIS EVENING REPRESENTING OPUS, THE POTENTIAL DEVELOPER OF A PROJECT WE ARE HOPING TO SPEAK WITH YOU ABOUT THIS EVENING. THE PROPERTY THAT WE ARE HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT TONIGHT-- THINGS GOT A LITTLE JUMBLED UP IN HERE.

BUT IT'S A TOTAL OF 69 ACRES CONSISTS OF TWO PROPERTIES ON THE NORTHEAST PORTION OF THE CITY-- I WILL ZOOM IN A LITTLE BIT. I THINK THAT'S HELPFUL.

THE PROPERTY ON THE LEFT IS 50 ACRES.

IT WAS ANNEXED INTO THE CITY OF HUTTO IN 2023.

IT HAS A DEVELOPED AGREEMENT THAT WAS PUT ON THE PROPERTY IN 2019. THE PROPERTY ON THE EAST, IT'S A LITTLE OVER 18 ACRES. IT CURRENTLY IS OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS. AND WE ARE LOOKING TO COMBINE THESE TWO PROPERTIES TOGETHER TO MOVE FORWARD AS WE GO THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS IN THE CITY.

TALK TO YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT WE ARE HOPING TO DO AND WHAT OUR NEXT STEPS ARE. THESE TWO PROPERTIES DO SIT JUST NORTH OF THE CITY OF HUTTO'S CCN FOR WASTEWATER.

THE PROPERTY ON THE LEFT, THE 5D AGREEMENT PUT INTO PLACE IN 2019 THAT CONTEMPLATED ANNEXATION, WHICH IS ALREADY HAPPENED, AND ZONING THAT HAS HAPPENED. WITH THAT DEVELOP IT AGREEMENT, WASTEWATER SERVICE WAS CONTEMPLATED.

WE WILL BE LOOKING AND HOPING TO GET YOUR PERMISSION TO MOVE FORWARD IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CITY TO PROVIDE SOME MODIFICATIONS TO THAT TO DEAL WITH SOME ADDITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE. THE PROPERTY ON THE EAST DOES NOT-- LIKE I SAID, IT'S CURRENTLY OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS. IT IS CONTIGUOUS WITH THE 50 ACRES AND BOTH ARE ADJACENT TO YOUR WASTEWATER CCN.

WE STARTED TALKING WITH THE CITY QUITE A WHILE AGO.

THIS POTENTIAL PROJECT IS A LIGHT INDUSTRIAL PROJECT THAT CONSISTS OF ABOUT 800,000 SQUARE FEET OF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USE.

THE PROPERTY WOULD BE COMBINED TOGETHER, A TOTAL OF 69 ACRES.

WE STARTED TALKING WITH THE CITY FROM A SERVICE PERSPECTIVE IN NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR ON THE LARGER 50 ACRES, AND IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR ON THE 18 ACRES, AT THE END OF FEBRUARY THIS YEAR WE RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM THE CITY ENGINEER, A COMBINED RESPONSE THAT THERE IS TWO VIABLE WASTEWATER OPTIONS TO SERVE THIS PROPERTY. WE HAVE COMPLETED THE STAFF COMPONENT TO DETERMINE THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SERVICE.

AND WE ARE HERE TONIGHT TO HOPEFULLY RECEIVE YOUR PERMISSION TO CONTINUE TALKING WITH STAFF AND SEE HOW WE CAN GET THIS PROJECT MOVING FORWARD. I TALKED ABOUT THIS, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TURN IN A PRESENTATION TWO WEEKS BEFORE YOU GET YOUR BRAIN TOGETHER. BUT WE ARE EXCITED THAT THIS PROJECT WOULD PROVIDE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF VALUE TO A CURRENTLY UNUSED PIECE OF PROPERTY.

THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL PROPOSED IS CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY'S PLAN FOR THE ACRES WHICH IS DESIGNATED AS EMPLOYMENT CENTER.

AS WE MOVE FORWARD, WE WOULD ANTICIPATE GOING THROUGH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT FOR THE 18 ACRES.

AS WE MOVED FORWARD THROUGH A ENTITLEMENT PROCESS WE WOULD INCLUDE-- WE WOULD ANTICIPATE THAT THAT PROPERTY WOULD BE ANNEXED AND ZONED IN TO THE CITY IF WE WERE GIVEN PERMISSION TO MOVE FORWARD, AND WITH THAT WE WOULD ALSO BE DOING A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO EMPLOYMENT CENTER SO THE ENTIRETY OF THE PROPERTY MATCHES. THE SITE AS WE HAVE IT TOGETHER IT HAS-- HAS A NEW COLLECTOR ROAD THAT IS IDENTIFIED ON THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN. THAT ROAD STRADDLES THE NORTHERN PROPERTY LINE WITH HALF THAT ROAD BEING ON OUR PROPERTY AND THE OTHER HALF BEING ON PROPERTY THAT IS OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS.

IF WE ARE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WE WOULD LOOK TO INCORPORATE THE ENTIRETY OF THAT ROAD WITHIN OUR PROPERTY, WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR A ROAD THAT IS ON A MAP TO BECOME A REALITY TEN YEARS SOONER THAN IT WOULD OTHERWISE WITHOUT THE CITY HAVING TO GO IN AND GET ADDITIONAL LAND FROM PROPERTIES THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF CITY LIMITS FOR RIGHT AWAY. THIS WOULD BE A PROJECTED HUNDRED $25 MILLION TOTAL INVESTMENT IN TO THE CITY OF HUTTO, AS BOTH OF THESE PROPERTIES WOULD BE ANNEXED AND ZONED IN TO THE CITY AS THE PROJECT MOVES FORWARD.

SO WITH THAT I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

[00:50:07]

WE ARE SEEKING PERMISSION TO CONTINUE TO SPEAK WITH CITY STAFF AND MOVE FORWARD HOPEFULLY THROUGH A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT PROCESS. A SERVICE EXTENSION AND SUBDIVIDING-- SUBDIVISION PLANNING PROCESS IN PERMITTING.

I DO HAVE REP-- REPRESENTATIVES OF OPUS HERE TONIGHT, AS WELL AS A CIVIL ENGINEER IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS I CAN'T ANSWER.

AND ED LIKE TO TAKE TIME TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE TO YOUR STAFF AND CITY MANAGER. THEY HAVE BEEN EASY TO WORK WITH AND RESPONSIVE AND HELPFUL TO GET US TO THIS POINT.

SO WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THE ABILITY TO CONTINUE FORWARD.

>> THANK YOU, AMANDA. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM

COUNCIL? >> IT MIGHT BE PREMATURE.

BUT DOES THIS DEVELOPER HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT TYPE OF INDUSTRIAL OR INDUSTRY NEEDS, OR IS THIS JUST WHAT THE MARKET SAYS?

>> IT'S OPEN TO WHAT THE MARKET SAYS, WE HAVE ACTIVE LEASE NEGOTIATIONS. THAT'S A PIECE I SHOULD MENTION.

IF WE ARE GIVEN THE PERMISSION TO MOVE FORWARD WE WOULD BE EAGERLY WORKING THIS YEAR AS FAST AS WE CAN TO GET THROUGH THE ENTITLEMENT PROCESS. THIS IS A PROJECT THAT WOULD MOVE FORWARD RIGHT AWAY. LIKE I SAID WE HAVE ACTIVE LEASE NEGOTIATIONS. I'M NOT OF LIBERTY TO SHARE

THOSE? >> LOOKING ON A MAP HERE, YOU HAVE COMMERCIAL TO THE WEST AND SOUTH, AND A NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE NORTH. SO, IT'S PROBABLY PREMATURE, BUT I'M CONCERNED WITH TOXICITY-- TOXIC CHEMICALS AND HAZARDOUS WASTE, THINGS LIKE THAT. THERE IS PROBABLY STUFF ON GOING WITH THE STAFF THERE? THAT'S JUST A CONCERN I HAVE.

BUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE NORTH.

ENSURING THAT WE ARE PROTECTED GOING INTO A DEVELOPMENT LIKE THAT. YOU DON'T WANT TO GET DOWN THE ROAD AND REALIZE THAT THIS IS NOT A FIT.

NOT JUST WITH LAND-USE, BUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

>> THAT'S A WELL-THOUGHT-OUT POINT.

AND SOMETHING WE ARE VERY AWARE OF, OF WHERE WE SIT HAVING THE ACCESS TO BOTH ROADS GIVES US A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING IN SOME OF THE TYPES OF TENANTS THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO SEE HERE.

WE DON'T ANTICIPATE ANY CONFLICT WITH THE NEIGHBORS, AND WE WILL MAKE SURE THE PROJECT IS BUILT TO BE RESPECTFUL OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES THAT ARE ESTABLISHED.

THEY WERE THERE BEFORE WE WERE? >> THANK YOU.

>> IF I UNDERSTAND RIGHT, YOU WANT A FULL AMENDMENT TO BRING THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE PROPERTY ON THE EAST AND TURN IT TO AN EMPLOYMENT CENTER, WHICH MAKES SENSE IN TERMS OF IF THE CURRENT PROPERTY STAYS AS AN EMPLOYMENT CENTER I DON'T SEE A NEIGHBORHOOD BUILDING BETWEEN A ROAD AND A FUTURE INDUSTRIAL LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AREA. SO I THINK THAT MAKES SENSE TO KIND OF BRING IT TOGETHER, PEOPLE MAY NOT LIKE INDUSTRIAL OUT THERE. BUT IT'S MORE OF AN INDUSTRIAL AREA FROM THE SOUTH. AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE THE EPITOME DEVELOPMENT JUST TO THE WEST AND SOUTH A LITTLE BIT.

IT'S ALSO SLATED TO THE INDUSTRIAL SIDE.

SELECT KIND OF MAKES SENSE. AND I DO THINK IF THERE IS SOME CONTEMPLATED WASTEWATER, WE HAVE TALKED AS A CITY COUNCIL TO EXTEND OUR CCN FOR WASTEWATER. THINGS COME AND ADD VALUE TO THE CITY. AND I LIKE THE FACT THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT INSTALLING THE ROAD AND BUILDING THE ROAD THAT GOES ON 31. AND THOSE THINGS WE BEEN TRYING TO PUSH IS FOR DEVELOPERS TO PAY TO THIS-- FOR THIS STUFF.

IN MY OPINION HAS BEEN IF A DEVELOPER COMES UP AND NEEDS THE ROAD PUT IN, TELECOM. IF THEY WANT US TO PUT IN, I TELL THEM I'M JUST NOT THAT INTERESTED IN IT.

UP BUT IF THEY WANT TO PUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN, PUT THE MONEY IN, WE CAN GO BACK TO THE PUBLIC AND TELL THEM THIS IS A BENEFIT TO YOU ALL. IT PROVIDES JOBS AND INCOME, AND AT NO COST YOU. SO I APPRECIATE THOSE THINGS.

WITH THIS. THE ONLY THING I WOULD CHECK IS I KNOW ED SCHMIDT IS A TRUCK ROUTE.

I DON'T KNOW IF NORTH IS A TRUCK ROUTE.

IT COULD BE BOX TRUCKS, AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL FOR THE PUBLIC USE TO BE IN MIND OPINION, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL MORE BIG 18-WHEELERS LOADING UP AND THINGS LIKE THAT. AND NOW LIGHT INDUSTRIAL HAS MOVED IN TO HIGH TECH MANUFACTURING.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU CALL THAT STUFF.

LEAVE MACHINES, 3D PRINTING. A LOT OF OUR LIGHT INDUSTRIAL ART JOBS PAYING $40 OR MORE PER HOUR.

AND I WAS TELLING SOMEONE ABOUT A WEEK AGO, YOU WALKED IN

[00:55:01]

SOMEWHERE, WEARING POLO SHIRTS, SHORTCUT CARGO SHORTS TO AN AIR-CONDITIONED BUILDING. IT'S LIKE AN OFFICE, BUT THEY HAVE A 100 MILLION-DOLLAR MACHINE THAT IS SPITTING OUT STAINLESS STEEL TOYS. ANYWAY.

I LIKE ALL THAT, SO I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS WORKING ON THIS.

AND THE STAFF WORKING WITH YOU TO MAKE SURE IT'S ALL DONE

RIGHT. >> THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE. WE HOPE TO BE ABLE TO MOVE

FORWARD. >> THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR ACTION TO THIS ITEM?

>> IS THERE ACTION NEEDED? I HEARD HER JUST SAY SHE WANTS TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH STAFF, DOES THAT NEED TO BE A VOTE?

>> HER REQUEST WAS A MOTION FOR STAFF TO CONTINUE TO TRACK

ENGAGEMENT WITH IT. >> SO MOVED.

>> I WILL SECOND. >> ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? HEARING NONE, PLEASE CALL E-VOTE.

>> COUNCILOR TANG? >> I.

>> COUNCILOR TANG? COUNCILOR MORGAN.

>> I. >> COUNCILOR PORTERFIELD?

[9.3. Presentation from the Sesquicentennial Committee, including discussion and possible action to approve proposed budget. (Councilmember Gordon) ]

>> I. >> COUNCILOR SNYDER.

>> I. >> IT PASSES 6-0.

NEXT ITEM, 93. PRESENTATION FROM THE CENTENNIAL. COMMITTEE.

INCLUDING DISCUSSION AND ACTION TO APPROVE THE PROPOSED BUDGET.

>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

AND THIS IS FOR THE 150TH PLANNING COMMITTEE.

LOTS OF THE COMMITTEE IS HERE FRONT ROW, FOR THROW.

RAISE YOUR HAND. REPRESENTATION.

ALL RIGHT. I WILL BE GIVING THE OVERALL PRESENTATION. SO HERE WE GO.

HUTTO IS TURNING A HUNDRED AND 50.

SILICEOUS GO THROUGH THAT. SO FAR, COMMITTEE UPDATES, THE COUNCIL DID EXPRESS SOME DESIRE FOR THE LOCATION TO BE WHERE IT IS FOR SPACE AND TRAFFIC, PARKING, AS OPPOSED TO FRITZ PARKE. SO WE HAVE DECIDED TO CHANGE LOCATIONS. AND HAVE IT ON SATURDAY AT MORE GAIN. THE COMMITTEE CONTINUES TO MEET REGULARLY. WE MEET MONTHLY WE WENT VIRTUAL FOR A WHILE. WHILE WE WERE DOING THE BUDGET.

AND THAT WAS TWO TIMES A MONTH. WE ARE MEETING REGULARLY.

AND WE ARE ENGAGING IN THE COMMUNITY.

GETTING UP THERE AND TALKING TO PEOPLE.

I WANT TO POINT OUT THE MERRILL THAT CHARLENE AND CRYSTAL PAINTED. I ALSO WANT TO RECOGNIZE NICK AND TRACY AT THIS SOCIAL CLUB. THEY DONATED ALL THESE SUPPLIES.

NICK BUILT THE STRUCTURE. AND THEY DONATED AND PAID FOR THE PAINT AND SUPPLIES THAT THE ARTIST NEEDED TO PAINT THAT.

IT DID TAKE SOME TIME AND LOVE TO CREATE THAT.

BUT THAT IS KIND OF OUR FIRST START, AND WE WILL MOVE IT THROUGHOUT TOWNS AND BUSINESSES AND EVENTS.

WE WILL BE AT THE HUTTO MERRILL FEST AT THE END OF THE MONTH, AND THE SUNSET BLOCK FASHION PARTY.

IS THAT CORRECT? SO WE WILL BE OUT THERE, ENGAGING WITH THE COMMUNITY, CELEBRATING HUTTO 150 YEARS.

SO THAT IS THAT. LET'S TAKE INTO SOME OF THE BUDGET ITEMS, OF COURSE. YOU ALL WERE PRESENTED WITH THE EXCEL SPREADSHEET, AND ITEMIZED BUDGET.

HOPEFULLY WE'VE HAD A LOOK OVER THAT.

WERE JUST GOING TO GO OVER IT GENERALLY.

WILL HAVE QUESTIONS AT THE END. OF COURSE WE HAVE SUBCOMMITTEES.

WE MENTION THAT IN OUR LAST PRESENTATION.

OUR HISTORICAL BUDGET ITEMS INCLUDE SOME VERTICAL SCROLLS THAT WILL HAVE HUTTO'S HISTORY DISPLAYED ON THEM.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WILL LIVE BEYOND THE CELEBRATION IN NOVEMBER. IT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT THE CITY CAN HAVE AND HOLD AND USE AND TRY TO STORE HISTORY AND MAINTAIN THE HISTORY OF HUTTO FOR A DECADE.

HOPEFULLY THEY LAST THAT LONG. SOME HISTORICAL MARKER INSULATIONS-- INSTALLATIONS, THE SUBCOMMITTEE IS WORKING WITH THE ROTARY CLUB ON SOME FUNDING. BUT THERE IS A ADDITIONAL NEED TO KIND OF SUPPLEMENT THE COSTS. OF COURSE THERE IS SOME COLORING AND GAGING ACTIVITIES WE'D LIKE TO HAVE FOR DISTRIBUTION, JUST AWARENESS TO THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THE HISTORY OF HUTTO CONTEST TO ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY. WALKING TOURS THAT ARE COMPLEMENTARY IN THE BUDGET THAT WAS ZEROED OUT.

WILLING MEMBERS OF OUR COMMITTEE, WILLING TO GET OUT THERE IN THE COMMUNITY AND DISPLAY AND SHOW THE HISTORY.

[01:00:03]

AND WORKING WITH IST, ON A SHORT DOCUMENTARY VIDEO.

AT THE END, HERE ARE SOME PICTURES, HOW THE VERTICAL HISTORY WOULD LOOK. FOR EXAMPLE.

NEXT IS THE ART BUDGET ITEMS. IT WILL INCLUDE A PUBLIC ART INSTALLATION, SIMILAR TO THE MERRILL, BUT SOMETHING A LOW MORE REPRESENTATIVE OF HISTORY. OR WHAT WE TALK TO THE ARTISTS ABOUT. GOING TO TRY TO GET THROUGH THIS SO I DON'T TALK FOREVER. MY APOLOGIES.

BUT THE BUDGET ALSO INCLUDES A THEATRICAL PRODUCTION OF THE HUTTO HISTORY. HIGHLIGHTING THE FIRST 30 YEARS OF HUTTO. THE COMMITTEE REQUEST FUNDING FOR THE PUBLIC ART INSTALLATION THAT HONORS THE HISTORY OF HUTTO. IT CAN BE LOCATED IN A PUBLIC PLACE WHERE VISITORS AND LOCALS CAN VISIT.

THE COMMITTEE IS PROPOSING COMMEMORATING THE HUNDRED 50TH ANNIVERSARY WHICH IS A HUGE MILESTONE WITH A REPAINT OF THE CITY HALL HIPPO, ALONG WITH SOME INTERACTIVE ART DURING THE DAY.

GOING BACK TO MY NOTES HERE. THE FOOD WE ARE PARTNERING WITH LOCAL FOOD VENDORS, FOOD TRUCKS, WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE WITH SOME OF THEIR PRODUCTS. MAKE MONEY FOR THEIR BUSINESS, HAVE FOOD, DRINKS, ALL KINDS OF OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC OR EVENT ATTENDEES SO THEY CAN ENJOY THEMSELVES.

SO THE COMMITTEE HAS TALKED ABOUT IT.

ABOUT COLLECTING A REASONABLE DEPOSIT FOR THOSE PARTICIPATING.

VENDORS. BUT WITH INTENTIONS OF RETURNING THAT TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO SHOW UP TO HAVE SOME SKIN IN THE GAME SO THAT THERE LIKE OH, I CAN'T MAKE IT TODAY BECAUSE I DID NOT PUT MY $200 DEPOSIT DOWN. THAT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT AND DISCUSSED. HOPEFULLY IT ENCOURAGES THOSE BUSINESSES TO ATTEND THAT EVENT. SO, HUTTO 150 SWAG.

AT THE CRAWFISH FESTIVAL, PEOPLE WERE COMING UP TO THE TENT AND ASKING IF THE MERRILL LOGO WAS ON A T-SHIRT OR SOMETHING.

AND WE WERE LIKE NO. BUT WE DISCUSSED THAT AT OUR MOST RECENT THING. WE TALKED ABOUT IT AND LIKE TWO MEETINGS. WE WERE LIKE LET'S GET SOME SWAG SPONSORED. LET'S SELL IT FOR A BIT OF A PROFIT. WERE NOT TRIED TO MAKE LOTS OF PROFIT. JUST COVER THE COST PLUS MONEY WE CAN PUMP BACK IN TO FUNDING. IN THE BUDGET THAT YOU ALL SEE IT DOES HAVE 4425 AS THE REQUEST.

BUT WE ARE GOING TO SCRATCH THAT AND FUNDED THROUGH SPONSORSHIPS.

I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING WE CAN GET DONE.

AND ON THE RIGHT YOU WILL SEE THIS CHALLENGE COIN.

CHARLENE AGAIN, AMAZING WITH THE ARTWORK.

THE 3D PRINTING. THE NEW AGE STAFF.

SHE HAS CREATED THIS AMAZING COIN.

AND IT LOOKS GREAT. I WISH YOU COULD ALL SEE.

SHE'S FINE-TUNING IT, BUT THERE WILL BE SOMETHING YOU HAVE IT HERE? OKAY, IF YOU DON'T MIND GIVING US A LOOK, PASS IT DOWN. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WILL HANG OUT FOREVER. YOU'LL HANG ONTO IT AND IT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT IN 20 YEARS IT WILL BE SOMEWHERE IN HUTTO, ANNUALLY LIKE A, THE 150. TO THE MAIN SHEBANG HERE.

WE HAVE A LIST OF FOOD TRUCK VENDORS WHO ARE INTERESTED THAT WE CAN REACH OUT TO. WE HAVE THAT GOING ALREADY.

SO WE JUST KIND OF NEED TO TIE THE BOW ON IT.

SO THE BIG PORTION OF THE ENTERTAINMENT BUDGET IS BY FAR THE LARGEST PORTION. IT IS NEEDED TO MAKE THE EVENT SUCCESSFUL. SOME OF THE SMALLER ITEMS ARE BOUNCE HOUSES FOR THE KIDS, BECAUSE THERE ARE NO PLAY SCAPES OR ANYTHING THAT WE NEEDED FOR FAMILIES, FACE PAINTING.

WE PLAN TO CAST OUT THE NET FOR VENDORS WHO WANT TO GET OUT THERE AS WELL. BUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE WILL BE DISCUSSING IN THE FUTURE.

BUT THAT IS SOMETHING FOR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS TO DISCUSS.

THE BUDGET HERE IS LARGE, IT'S A BIG CHUNK OF CHANGE FOR OUR BUDGET. WRAPPING THINGS UP HERE, WE HAVE COME UP WITH A LIST OR DECIDED, WE LOOKED AT A FEW DIFFERENT OPTIONS. SO WE DO HAVE PEARY SAVARD'S

[01:05:07]

BAND. HE AND HIS BUDDIES, THEY PLAY LIVE MUSIC, THEY DO A GREAT JOB, THEY DO COVER BANDS.

THEY DO CLASSIC HITS THAT EVERYONE LOVES.

SING-ALONGS AND STUFF. THAT WILL BE A GREAT STARTER TO THE DAY OR EVENING, OR LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

NEXT ON THE LEFT WE HAVE THE BAYOU CITY BRASS BAND.

A HIGH ENERGY HOUSTON-BASED BRASS ENSEMBLE.

KNOWN FOR BLENDING BRASS, JAZZ AND R&B INTO AN INTERACTIVE LIVE PERFORMANCE EXPERIENCE. AND WE THINK THAT THIS GROUP WOULD BRING A DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT TO TO THE EVENT.

THEY ENGAGE WITH THE CROWD, AND THE COMMITTEE BELIEVES THIS GROUP WOULD BE GREAT FOR THE 150TH CELEBRATION.

ON THE RIGHT WE HAVE THE WEST TEXAS EXILES.

MUSICIANS FROM WEST TEXAS. THEY PLAY TAPPED-- CLASSIC TEXAS MUSIC WITH ROCK, COUNTRY IN SOUTHWESTERN INFLUENCES.

THEY ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR RICH HARMONIES, STORYTELLING AND ENERGETIC LIVE SHOWS, THEY HAVE PURCHASED-- PARTICIPATED IN SXSW, AND LASTLY, WE HAVE SAY BEYOND RIGHT, IN THE MIDDLE.

IF YOU KNOW OF HIM WERE KNOW HIS NAME, HE IS FROM HUTTO.

HE WAS ON "AMERICAN IDOL" INITIALLY.

AND HE WAS KIND OF LIKE THE LOCAL HUTTO HERO.

CONTESTANT ON "AMERICAN IDOL". HE WENT ON TO DO THE VOICE TWICE I BELIEVE, HE DID VERY WELL WITH BLAKE SHELTON.

HE CONTINUES TO PERFORM, AND HE IS A SOULFUL SINGER-- SINGER FROM HUTTO, HE GAINED NATIONAL ATTENTION ON "AMERICAN IDOL" AND THE VOICE. HE HAS PASSIONATE PERFORMANCES AND A UNIQUE STYLE. HE HAS PERFORMED AT SOUTH BY LOLLAPALOOZA AND BONNER RUE. HE IS A LOCAL-- I'M SURE HE DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE, BUT WHEN HE WAS ON THE SINGING CONTESTS HE SAID HE WAS FROM HUTTO.

WE'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH HIM. THAT IS ENTERTAINMENT.

SO HERE IS THE FINAL NUMBERS RIGHT HERE.

THE 150TH IS REQUESTING 46,775 FROM THE HOT FUND FOR THE NOVEMBER 14TH CELEBRATION. SPONSORSHIP AND FUND-RAISING GOAL IS SET AT 25,000, TO MAKE THE NUMBERS RIGHT 22,100.

FOR A TOTAL BUDGET OF 18,075. AND I DID ADD AN EXTRA SLIDE IN-- I ADDED AN EXTRA SLIDE IN THEIR.

SORRY, PUBLIC. SO JUST KIND OF EXPLAINING THIS, THIS IS THE HUTTO HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX FUND OVERVIEW.

THIS IS GOING ON CLEAR GLOW-- CLEAR GOV ONLINE.

JUST CLIPPED THIS FROM THAT SECTION OF THAT FUND OF THE BUDGET. BACK IN 2024 THE FUND WAS AT 1 MILLION, 2025 IT WAS AT A MILLION.

.4. 1.4 MILLION, JUST SHY OF THAT.

AND THEN FINANCE HAS PREDICTED THE 26 HOT FUND TO PROJECTIONS AT 1.75. SO THAT IS-- THOSE ARE THE FUNDS THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR USE, JUST KIND OF A GENERAL OVERVIEW.

IF WE ROUND UP THE 68 TO 70, 70,000 OF THAT PRICES ABOUT 4% OF THAT 1.7 MILLION AVAILABLE. OF COURSE, THAT TAXES COLLECTED THROUGH FOLKS FROM OUT OF TOWN THAT COME AND STAY AT THE HOTEL'S HERE IN HUTTO, WITH A THIRD ONE COMING ONLINE SOON.

SO SHORT-TERM RENTALS, I THINK WE ONLY HAVE ONE OF THOSE.

IN THE AREA. BUT THAT IS WHAT FUNDS THIS FUND. THE HOT FUND.

SO IT IS COLLECTED FROM FOLKS COMING OUT AND WHAT YOU CAN EXPAND BECAUSE IT'S RESTRICTED OF COURSE, YOU CAN EXPEND IT ON CELEBRATIONS THAT BRING PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE INTO COME VISIT HUTTO. THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR CELEBRATING 150 YEARS TO HIGHLIGHT THE HISTORY WHICH IS A PURPOSE IT CAN BE USED FOR, ENTERTAINMENT, THINGS LIKE THAT.

[01:10:03]

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, I MISS THIS ONE HERE.

SORRY. WORKING WITH ABBY AND COMMUNICATIONS, WE-- WE DID NOT REINVENT THE WHEEL TOO MUCH.

THE CITY ALREADY HAS THESE KINDS OF SPONSORSHIP PACKAGES FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY AND THINGS OF THAT SORT.

WE JUST RENAMED OUR SPONSOR LEVELS SO THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE COME UP WITH. AND IF WE CAN SECURE A FEW OF THESE THINGS WE CAN EASILY GET IT-- GET TO THE 22,000.

SO, THIS IS AN INCREASE. THIS IS KIND OF ART-- EARLIER THE ONE I MIGHT HAVE SUBMITTED HAD A TYPO ON IT.

BUT WE WILL GET THAT FIXED. SO THAT IS THE END OF THAT.

SO THANK YOU FOR HAVING THIS BACK-- HAVING US UP HERE TO UPDATE YOU ON THINGS. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, FEEDBACK ON THINGS, WE ARE ALL EARS TO KIND OF HEAR IT OUT. BUT EVERYBODY IS HERE OF COURSE.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS DETAIL EYES, THEY CAN ANSWER THAT OR HELP ME ANSWER THEM AS WELL. IN GENERAL, THE 150TH PLANNING COMMITTEE, WE ASK FOR YOUR FAVORABLE APPROVAL.

AND CONSIDERATION OF OUR BUDGET THAT WE ARE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH WITH STAFF. THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE] >> QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM

COUNCIL? >> YOU SAID THE BUDGET YOU SHOWED SAID 20 SOME ODD THOUSAND FOR SPONSORSHIP?

>> WHICH ONE? THIS ONE?

>> THE ONE BEFORE THAT ONE. THE PAINT, THAT ONE.

>> YES. >> YOUR GOAL IS 22,000.

BUT IF YOU MEET EVERYTHING ON THE NEXT SLIDE, YOUR AT ALREADY 45? RIGHT? SO ARE WE GOING TO GET ALL THAT? I GUESS I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE SPONSORSHIP PART. YOU'RE SAYING WE HAVE THESE OPPORTUNITIES, ARE WE ACTIVELY ENGAGING TO GET THE

SPONSORSHIPS? >> ABSOLUTELY.

IF WE CAN-- OUR GOAL IS THE 22,100, IF WE CAN GET MORE THAN THAT, AND SECURITY DEALS, THE TWO, THE 10,000, THE 5000, AND OBVIOUSLY UNLIMITED FILE THE OTHER-- FOR THE OTHER ONES.

IF WE CAN SECURE THAT, ABSOLUTELY.

THAT WOULD BRING DOWN-- BRING DOWN LESS NEEDED FROM THE HOT TAX FUND. ABSOLUTELY.

>> TO ME I WOULD LOOK AT THIS AS WELL, IF THE COUNCIL SAYS YES, YOU CAN HAVE 46,000, WHY WOULD YOU TRY TO GET THE REST OF IT? YOU ALREADY HAVE THE MONEY. DO YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? I FEEL LIKE AGREEING TO THE BUDGET DOESN'T MAKE THEM GO AFTER THE SPONSORSHIPS. THEY DON'T HAVE TO BECAUSE THEY ALREADY HAVE THIS MUCH MONEY BACK THERE.

MAYBE THAT MEANS WE TRY TO FIND CELEBRATION SPONSORS.

TO SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? PUSHING FOR THE BIGGER STUFF?

>> I THINK THAT WITH THE COMMITTEE WE PUT IN QUITE A FEW MONTHS OF WORK, AND TO PUT THIS TOGETHER.

WE'VE GOTTEN TO THIS POINT I THINK THAT WE ARE JUST KIND OF LOOKING FOR I GUESS THE NEXT STEP IN THINGS.

WE ARE WILLING TO GO AFTER, AND WE HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATING, WE HAVE NOT SECURED A FIRST SPONSOR OR SECOND SPONSOR JUST TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. SOME OF THESE CORPORATIONS ARE BIG, IT TAKES SOME TIME TO GO UP THE CHAIN OF COMMAND, TO BE HONEST. NOWISE GOING TO JUST CUT YOU A CHECK AND SAY I WILL SUPPORT YOU.

BUT THERE HAS BEEN VERBAL SUPPORT, BUT NO LIKE SIGNING.

SIGNING THE CHECK AND SUBMITTING IT.

BUT WE'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THEM ABOUT HOW IT IS SUBMITTED TO CITY AND THAT'S TRACT. SO WE ARE JUST AT THIS POINT WHERE WE JUST-- THE COMMITTEE IS LOOKING TO MOVE FORWARD IF THAT'S WHAT THE COUNCIL WANTS TO DO WITH THE EVENT, OR IF WE NEED TO, WE ARE OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS TO DRAWBACK OUR ONLY SPONSOR

KIND OF THING. >> AND THE ENTERTAINMENT ARE

THEY VERBAL COMMITMENTS ALREADY? >> THEY ARE NOT BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE FUNDING TO SUPPORT THAT.

SO WE HAVE JUST TOLD THEM, HEY,, CAN YOU GIVE US A QUOTE FOR THIS, THE STATE, ARE YOU AVAILABLE.

AND WE SAID RIGHT NOW WE ARE WORKING ON OUR BUDGET.

WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH AN APPROVAL PROCESS BEFORE WE CAN-- OBVIOUSLY WE HAVEN'T EVEN TALKED WITH A CITY ATTORNEY ABOUT THIS.

OR THE CITY MANAGER. NOBODY HAS ANY AUTHORIZATION.

[01:15:10]

SO WE'VE GOTTEN THE QUOTES, WE HAD SOME OTHER QUOTES, AND THOSE WERE WEEDED OUT FOR COST OR GENRE TYPE.

LIKE LET'S PUT THOSE ON THE BACK BURNER.

SO THAT'S WHERE WE ARE AT. NOTHING SECURE.

WE ARE AT THIS POINT IS TRYING TO GET OVER THE HUMP SO WE CAN MOVE FORWARD, WORKING WITH OTHER FOLKS INTERNALLY AT THE CITY AND GETTING STUFF ON PAPERS SO PEOPLE ARE SECURED.

>> THANK YOU, EVERYBODY. I SHARE SOME OF THOSE SAME CONCERNS THAT CHARLES BROUGHT UP.

IF THE GOAL IS 20 TO TEN, TO MEET THE GOAL SHOULD BE $16,875.

AND THEN IF YOU SET YOUR GOAL AT 22,000 AND YOU HIT IT NEXT WEEK, THERE'S A LOT GOING ON, AND HAVING PUT ON AN FUND-RAISING A LOT ONCE YOU HIT YOUR GOAL IS REALLY HARD TO WAKE UP AND HIT YOUR GOAL AND KEEP GOING PASSED IT, BECAUSE YOU'RE LIKE WHAT AM I DOING THAT FOR. SO ONE OF THE NOTES I PUT DOWN WAS, I LIKE WHAT YOU'RE DOING, THERE'S A LOT GOING ON HERE, A LOT. THOUSANDS HERE, 500 THERE, 1200 HERE. ALL THESE DIFFERENT THINGS, I DIDN'T HEAR HOW MANY PEOPLE WE ARE EXPECTED TO HAVE, BUT I IMAGINE IT WILL BE A GOOD AMOUNT, ONE OF THE NOTES I PUT WAS THAT I'D BE VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THE DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR MATCH UP TO $35,000. AND IF YOU GUYS RAISE $35,000, THEN WE WOULD MATCH 35,000. THAT WAY THERE IS-- YOU GUYS HAVE A LARGE COMMITTEE, AND THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE FUND-RAISING. AND I WOULD PARTNER WITH THE ROTARY CLUB OR SOME OTHER NONPROFIT TO WHERE PEOPLE CONTRIBUTE, ADANA THIS WORKS WHEN IT COMES TO DONATIONS.

BUT THEY CONTRIBUTE TO WHERE THEY ARE CONTRIBUTING TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS THAT THE NET ORGANIZATION IS WILLING TO TURN OVER TO THE IN ORDER TO-- I KNOW THAT IF YOU WRITE A CHECK TO THE CITY PEOPLE..., BUT IF YOU WRITE TO A NONPROFIT, YOU TEND TO GET A BIT MORE, MAYBE DUE TO LACK AND TRUST OF THE GOVERNMENT. THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I WAS THINKING BEFORE I HEARD CHARLES. I DO WANT TO SEE YOU BE SUCCESSFUL AND I DO WANT TO HAVE IT TO WHERE WE ARE ALL WORKING-- AND NOT JUST YOU ALL RAISING MONEY, BUT OTHER PEOPLE ARE COMMITTEE OR COUNCIL. I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF BUSINESSES THAT WOULD LIKE TO BE INVOLVED.

WE HAD TO MAKE A CONCERTED EFFORT.

IF IT'S ABOUT HOW TO MAKE A PUSH FOR EVERYBODY AND HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN SOME MANNER. MAYBE THAT CHANGES THE FUND-RAISING A LITTLE BIT. MAYBE THERE IS A $250 SPONSOR THAT ALLOWS PEOPLE WHO ARE SMALL BUSINESS TO GET, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S PLANNED. BUT AS YOU GUYS SELL SHIRTS AND THINGS, I'D WANT TO SEE A 10-DOLLAR SHIRT MADE AND SOLD FOR $12, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE TO MAKE A LOT, BUT I'M NOT SEEING THE CELL FOR $40. TO ME EVERYTHING SHOULD BE PRICED IN A WAY THAT SOMEHOW WE PAY BACK TO WHERE THERE IS ABILITY TO HAVE OTHER EVENTS. AND THE OTHER THING I HAD AS IF WE DO PARTICIPATE, I DON'T KNOW WHATEVER HAPPENED, WE DECIDED ABOUT THE TRADEMARK AND THE LOGO, BUT I THINK IF THE CITY PARTICIPATES FINANCIALLY, WERE JUST TRYING TO FIND A WAY FOR THE CITY TO TRADEMARK THAT AND MAKE SURE IT'S NOT-- THERE IS NOT ISSUES THEREFORE OTHER PEOPLE MOVING FORWARD.

>> MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS IS A CITY EVENT, BUT THIS COMMITTEE IS THE PLANNING COMMITTEE.

SO WE ARE KIND OF TAKING THAT OFF OF CITIZEN LED-- OF COURSE.

EVERYBODY SIGNED UP TO DO THIS. LIKE I WANT TO BE A PART OF THIS. AND THERE ARE QUITE A FEW OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE JUST NOT HERE THIS EVENING.

SO WE ARE HERE TO SUPPORT THIS, KIND OF TAKE A LOAD OFF OF CITY STAFF, BECAUSE THEY ARE BUSY DOING EVERYTHING ELSE LIKE PARKS AND SUMMER CAMP, SO WE ARE WILLING TO DO WORK AND OBVIOUSLY WE'VE DONE THAT. SO I JUST NEED TO KNOW, CONFIRMATION TO MOVE FORWARD, OR NOT.

THE SUCCESS OF THE EVENT. AND IF THIS IS TOO BIG, AND SOME OF THE PIECES, THAT WE NEED TO KNOW THAT ALSO.

WE JUST NEED TO HAVE SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT SMALLER.

>> COLIN PROPOSING IS A REVISED SCENARIO, INSTEAD OF YOU ALL RAISING 22 AND TRYING TO RAISE 34, THAT WE PUT THAT IN.

AND IF WE ALL WORK TOGETHER WE CAN HIT THAT.

MY ONLY FEAR IS IF WE HAD ANOTHER EVENT, THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS IS TO LESSEN THE BURDEN OF GOVERNMENT.

SO IF AN ORDER FOR THE 501 SEEMS TO BE SUCCESSFUL THE GOVERNMENT

[01:20:01]

HAS TO SPEND A BUNCH OF MONEY, NOT JUST SAYING YOU, THIS STARTS TO BECOME A THING AND WE WILL HAVE AGE FIVE BSA NEXT-- ONE OF THE THINGS I TRY TO DO IS TO GET OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND FOR US TO SUPPORT THEM IN A MANNER WHERE THEY CAN PUT THINGS ONTO LEVEL THE COSTS. I THINK THAT ALSO ENTAILS THE CITY TO USE OUR RESOURCE, ARE PARKS ARM-- ARE MEDICATIONS TEAM, TO WHERE IT'S NOT AN EXTRA COST.

SO THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE WE CAN HAVE THIS-- AND BETTER THINGS FOR THE PUBLIC.

BUT NOT ALL ON US, AND NOT ALL ON A NONPROFIT OR COMMUNITY

GROUP TO FIGURE OUT. >> THAT IS INTERESTING, YOU ARE THE PLANNING COMMITTEE. SO IS THIS A CITY EVENT?

IT IS A CITY EVENT. >> THEY ARE NOT A SEPARATE

NONPROFIT. >> IS JUST RECOMMENDING THINGS.

THAT'S ESSENTIALLY WHAT WERE BRINGING FORWARD.

>> THIS IS 100% A CITY EVENT. >> IT'S JUST A ONE-OFF EVENT.

WE WILL NOT CELEBRATE-- MAYBE WE WILL DO 175.

>> IN MY HEAD I THOUGHT YOU GUYS WERE RIGHT-- RUNNING THIS EVENT.

AND DOING FUNDS FOR THE CITY. IT'S REALLY A CITY EVENT.

>> IT IS A CITY EVENT. BUT WE ARE GOING TO BE HUSTLING TO GET SPONSORSHIPS BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS FAIRLY NEW, WITH THE SPONSORSHIPS AT THE CITY, IT WAS MAYBE FINALIZED LAST YEAR, TO GET MORE ENGAGEMENT FROM BUSINESSES AND STAKEHOLDERS IN OUR COMMUNITY, BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE VISIBLE AND PARTICIPATE. THEY DON'T NECESSARY KNOW HOW TO. SO I DO KNOW ANY OTHER EVENT AT THE CITY HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL OR IF THEY'VE KIND OF HAD A LITTLE BIT OF TRACTION, BUT THIS IS KIND OF OUR FIRST BIG SHOT AT TRYING TO GET A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY.

>> I LIKE IT. I WANTED TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

I THINK IT'S A GOOD AMOUNT OF STUFF THAT YOU ARE PLANNING OUT.

ALL THAT LOOKS GREAT. IS JUST A MATTER OF--

>> MOVING FORWARD THE PLAN IS TO WORK WITH THE PARKS DEPARTMENT, BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF STUFF GOING ON OUT THERE.

AND MORE TO BE GOING ON OVER YEARS.

IT'S NOT GOING TO INTERRUPT THE EVENT.

BUT IT'S BEEN A CONCERN. AND WORKING WITH PUBLIC SAFETY, THE ROAD, CONSTRUCTION, WE ARE KIND OF STUCK IN A HARD PLACE.

BUT OUR COMMITTEE IS GROWING. IT'S CHANGING.

THINGS ARE GETTING DONE. GROWING PAINS.

WE WILL CELEBRATE OUR 150TH REGARDLESS.

SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY. >> PARTNERING WITH NONPROFIT IS A WAY TO GET TO SPONSORS. IF YOU COULD PARTNER WITH SOME OTHER NONPROFITS IT WOULD BE EASIER TO GET SPONSORS.

>> THERE WE GO. >> WE INCURRED A LEGAL OPINION.

>> I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT STEPH SPENT A LOT OF TIME DEVELOPING SPONSORSHIP APPLICATIONS AND PACKAGES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, TO REMIND COUNCIL THAT THEY HAVE THAT

AVAILABLE. >> LITERALLY, WE DID NOT REINVENT THE WHEEL. THIS EXISTED.

WE JUST CAME UP WITH FOUNDER CIRCLE, LEGACY PARTNER,

CELEBRATION, HOMETOWN. >> WHAT I WILL SAY, COUNCILOR, ALONG WITH THAT WORKSHOP THAT WE HAD, WHERE WHEN THE CITY PUTS ON AN EVENT, I WILL SAY IT AND IT WILL RUFFLE SOME PEOPLE.

WHEN YOU ARE SPENDING OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY, IT'S EASIER TO SPEND IT. SO WHAT WE'VE TASKED THE CITY WITH IS WHEN YOU PUT ON AN EVENT, INSTEAD OF SPENDING 22,000, WHO CAN YOU PARTNER WITHIN A COMMUNITY WHEREAS INSTEAD OF SPENDING 22,000 YOU GET-- PEOPLE DONATE MONEY TO THE CITY, THEY DO THAT EVERY YEAR WITH THEIR TAX BILL.

BUT IF YOU DO A NONPROFIT CAN YOU TURN AN EVENT THAT YOU SPENT 22,000 INTO AN EVENT THAT YOU DID NOT SPEND 22,000.

THAT'S HOW I LOOK AT THIS, AN EVENT TO WHERE WE ARE PARTNERING AND YOU CAN FIND SOMEONE TO PARTNER WITH.

THIS IS A COMMITTEE GROUP, AND I SAID ROTARY CLUB OR SOMETHING, BUT YOU COULD USE THE HUTTO PARK'S NONPROFIT FOUNDATION TO

COLLECT DONATIONS. >> I BELIEVE THOSE ARE RESTRICTED FOR LAND ACQUISITION, PARKS IMPROVEMENTS, THINGS OF

THAT SORT FOR THE FOUNDATION. >> IT'S BROAD.

>> I DON'T THINK YOU MEAN TO USE THE FUNDS, HE YOU WOULD-- ME TO USE HIM TO GET SPONSORS TO BRING IN.

>> AT THE PARK IS RESTRICTIVE THERE ARE 25 OTHER NONPROFITS IN HUTTO THAT IF YOU NEED A PASS THEY ARE, KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF BUSINESSES. AND I KNOW THIS BECAUSE WE PUT ON A GOLF TOURNAMENT. THE SPONSORSHIP MONEY WAS IN THE A TEE, 90,000-DOLLAR RANGE. AND AFTER EXPENSES WE HAD ABOUT 35,000 DOOR SOMETHING. BUT ALL THAT WAS TAX-DEDUCTIBLE.

[01:25:03]

I KNOW THE PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE READY TO DO IT.

BUT IF WE ASK THEM TO DONATE TO THE GOVERNMENT, MOST OF THEM MAY CLENCH THEIR WALLET AND HIDE IT. BUT IF YOU SATES FOR A

NONPROFIT. >> BUT IN THE SPONSORSHIP APPLICATION, IF YOU SAY MAKE YOUR CHECK PAYABLE TO THE CITY OF HUTTO FOR THE 150, THAT WOULD LIMIT THEIR DONATION FOR THOSE

DOLLARS TO ONLY GO TO THE EVENT. >> BUT THEY WOULD NOT BE TAX-DEDUCTIBLE. IF THEY GAVE THEM TO THE ORGANIZATION THEY PARTNERED WITH WHERE THEY DONATE 1000 TO A NONPROFIT AND THAT NONPROFIT GAVE A THOUSAND TO THE CITY TOWARDS THE EVENT, IT'S OUTSIDE THE CITY IF WE WORK WITH HEARD TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET TAX-DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS.

>> THE OTHER THING I WAS GOING TO MENTION IS TO DO A DEPOSIT AND GET IT BACK. THESE GUYS COME UP AND MAKE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, AND WE MAKE ZERO FOR THE CITY.

>> THAT SOMETHING WE COULD LOOK-- THAT SOMETHING, IF YOU

WOULD LIKE US TO DO. >> AND THEY WILL PAY TO BE AT THE EVENT. I HAD A FRIEND AT AUSTIN RODEO.

AUSTIN RODEO CHARGES 40% PROFIT. THEY GET OFF THE TOP.

-- NOT AUSTIN RODEO. WHATEVER THE COMPANY IS THAT DOES ALL THE VENDORS. IT'S HUGE.

GRANTED WE ARE NOT AS BIG AS AUSTIN RODEO.

BUT MY POINT IS THAT IF THESE ARE GOING TO MAKE $1000, THEY

WILL BE WILLING TO PAY. >> FORA $250 DONATION THEY WILL

LET YOU PARK YOUR TRUCK THERE. >> THAT'S GREAT.

>> WE ARE OPEN TO THAT. >> THAT'S HOW WE DID WORLD HIPPO DAY. EVERYTHING WAS A DONATION, NONPROFITS ARE A DOLLAR BECAUSE WE WANTED TO SUPPORT THEM.

AND BUSINESSES HAVE ONE PRICE, $250 BECAUSE IT'S A HUTTO EVENT FOR HUTTO. AND IF YOU'RE OUTSIDE OF HUTTO WE'D LIKE YOU TO BE HERE, BUT YOU HAVE TO PAY MORE BECAUSE IT'S A HUTTO EVENT. SO WE CHARGE LIKE $350 FOR NONHUTTO BUSINESSES. SO WE HAVE PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER COME INTO APPOINT, IF YOU CHARGE AND GIVE IT AWAY, THEY ARE TAKING OUR MONEY AND MAKING ALL THE MONEY AND THE TAXPAYERS PAY FOR IT. LITTLE THINGS LIKE THAT MAKE 34,000 SEEM INSURMOUNTABLE. I THINK QUICKLY WHEN YOU GO WITH TEN VENDORS SELLING FOOD, YOU HAVE TO HAVE FOR SOME SELLING BEER, WATER, POP, NEXT THING YOU KNOW YOU ARE THERE PRETTY

QUICKLY. >> I HAVE BEEN MEETING WITH THE COMMITTEE PRETTY REGULARLY. I HAVE BEEN THE COUNCIL LIAISON FOR THEM AND HELPING THEM WALK THROUGH BUDGETS AND WHAT TO LOOK FOR. I THINK WHAT THEY WERE HOPING FOR TONIGHT WAS TO GET AT LEAST SOME LEVEL OF COMMITMENT SO THEY CAN THEN GO START REALLY SECURING SOME OF THESE BIGGER TICKET ITEMS. SO THEY CAN TALK TO THESE BANDS AND SAY, HEY,, WE HAVE A MINIMUM AMOUNT THAT WE KNOW WE CAN DO.

AND WE BOOK YOU, AND WE BOOK SOME OF THE BIGGER ONES.

IF THEY COULD GET SOME KIND OF APPROVAL TO SUCCEED, THEY WILL EXCEED-- APPROVE UP TO AN AMOUNT, THAT'S KIND OF WHAT THEY WERE HOPING FOR TONIGHT. AND I'M COMMITTED THAT ONCE I'M OFF COUNCIL THAT I WILL HELP THEM RAISE MONEY.

I WILL GO OUT AND HELP THEM. GET WHAT WE CAN.

SO I'M WILLING TO GO AND USE MY CONNECTIONS FOR THE PEOPLE-- OR THE PEOPLE I KNOW TO GO TO BAT FOR THEM.

I KNOW THE MORE MONEY THEY CAN SECURE THE LESS MONEY THAT WE USE IN OUR FUN, AND IT'S A WIN-WIN.

>> I SUPPORT WHAT YOU SAID EARLIER, MAYOR, A DOLLAR FOR

DOLLAR MATCH. >> SO THAT RAISES A GOOD POINT.

IN DOING SOME OF THESE, A FACE PAINTER YOU CAN BOOK IN SEPTEMBER AND YOU'RE GOOD TO GO. YOU TALK ABOUT TALENT, STAGES, THINGS LIKE THAT. IF THERE IS MORE OF A SUPPORT FOR SOMETHING LIKE WHAT YOU'RE SUPPORTING AND I'M TALKING ABOUT, MAYBE WE SAY MINIMUM OF-- WILL PROVIDE A MINIMUM OF-- IT LOOKS LIKE YOU NEED ABOUT $15,000 TO GET THE ENTERTAINMENT, OR $20,000, THAT IS ENTERTAINMENT, THAT SLIGHTS, SOUNDSTAGE AND ALL THAT, EQUIPMENT IN ADVANCE.

EVERYTHING ABOVE THAT UP TO SAY 40,000 WOULD BE MATCHED.

THAT WAY YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND BOOK THOSE GUYS SIX MONTHS IN ADVANCE. SO THAT YOU'RE THERE FOR WHEN IT COMES TO CONTESTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

AS YOU GET SPONSORS FOR THAT,-- THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE DO.

WE SAY OKAY WE WILL GIVE AWAY GOLF TOWEL.

BUT ONLY IF THERE IS A SPONSOR. AND WE ONLY GIVE AWAY A GOLF HAT IF THERE IS A GOLF HAT. SOME YEARS WE DON'T DO IT.

SO MUCH I'M TRYING TO SAY IS I DO KNOW HOW INTERESTING THE

[01:30:02]

HERITAGE PLANT GROWING CONTEST IS.

I DON'T KNOW THE FULL DETAILS. BUT IF YOU COULD GET A DONATION FOR, I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT WRECKS THE EVENT.

BUT IF YOU DO GET A DONATION FOR IT, LIKE SOMEONE SAYS WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THAT, THEN I SAY WE LET THEM HAVE THAT.

MAYBE A COMBINATION. I THINK THAT'S A GOOD POINT.

>> AND SOMETHING ELSE THE COMMITTEE HAS DISCUSSED, WE ARE COMMITTED TO GETTING OVER THIS HUMP WITH THE BUDGET BEING A BIT OF A PROBLEM, HOPEFULLY THOUGH, TO MOVE FORWARD.

BUT IN MY OPINION, I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR THE OTHER COMMITTEE MEMBERS, BUT THIS COMMITTEE COULD SERVE AS AFTER THE EVENT TO CONTINUE ON THROUGH FUND-RAISING, FOR MAYBE A BIT MORE PERMANENT, LIKE A HISTORICAL PRESERVATION, THAT OBVIOUSLY REQUIRES A LOT MORE DOLLARS.

MAYBE SOME GRANTS, WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE BANDWIDTH FOR THAT.

SO I DON'T THINK THAT CITY STAFF HAS THAT EITHER.

BUT MAYBE WORKING TOWARDS THAT GOAL.

THIS IS WHAT WERE COMMITTED TO. AFTER THE EVENT IS DONE, AFTER 2026 IS OVER, BUT DURING A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME WE WOULD CONTINUE WORKING ON SOME BIGGER HISTORICAL THINGS.

PRESENTING HUTTO HISTORY. SO THAT IT GETS MAINTAINED.

>> SOME OF THESE EVENTS. >> SOMETHING BIG SO PEOPLE SAY I

LOVE THE HISTORY. >> THE EVENTS ARE IN NOVEMBER BUT THEY HAVE EVENTS LEADING UP TO IT ALSO THAT THEY WERE HOPING TO KIND OF GET EARLIER FUNDING FOR.

SOME OF THESE THE WALKING TOURS AND THAT WOULD BE DURING THE SUMMER, RATHER THAN NOT EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING ON THAT DAY. THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THEY WOULD BE DOING. AND THEY ARE GOING TO BE AT THE DIFFERENT FESTIVALS. THEY WOULD ATTEND OTHER EVENTS.

>> THAT WE PLAN ON ATTENDING, HOOKY'S ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY BASH. THEY ARE PART OF THE COMMUNITY.

>> THE MONEY SPENT HAS TO BE REIMBURSED BECAUSE IT'S A CITY

EVENT. >> ON NATURALE FEET TOP OF MY HEAD. I'D HAVE TO LOOK INTO IT.

>> WE HAD A HECK OF A PROBLEM WITH ANOTHER GROUP THAT WE AUTHORIZED A CHUNK OF CHANGE TO, BUT HAS TO BE SPENT BY THEM

FIRST. >> IT HAS TO BE SPENT FIRST AND

REIMBURSED. >> WE WILL HAVE TO FIGURE THAT

OUT. >> I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WORKS.

BUDGET AMENDMENTS TO MOVE FUNDS TO-- GENERAL FUND.

>> FOR FEEDBACK, IF I MADE A MOTION THAT WE WOULD SUPPORT $40,000, DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR, THAT IT WOULD BE BASED ON A MINIMUM OF A $20,000 COMMITMENT. AND THEN IT WOULD BE DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR UP TO 40,000, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE AN ISSUE FOR THAT?

>> CONTINGENCY. CONTINGENCY.

>> I BELIEVE IN INCENTIVES. IF THEY RAISE 40 GRANDIN WE

SPENT 40 GRANT... >> ARE WE RELEASING THESE FUNDS

AT ONE TIME, OR TOO EARLY? >> I WOULD LET THEM DECIDE THAT?

>> I THINK THAT 20 WOULD BE ABLE TO GET THEM ON THEIR WAY WITH A

LOT OF THIS STUFF. >> DID EVERYONE GET THAT NONIS? -- THAT NOISE. I WILL MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE SUPPORT $3000 AT THEY 20,000-DOLLAR MINIMUM AND A DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR MATCH OF DONATION TO FUNDS, AND IF WE DETERMINE IT CANNOT COME FROM ALL HOT FUNDS, THEN WE PULL IT FROM GENERAL REVENUE FUNDS. DOES THAT GIVE US ENOUGH LEEWAY TO WHERE WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE ISSUES?

>> IS THAT A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE? WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

>> ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? [INDISCERNIBLE]

>> IT CHIS FOR THE CITY, RIGHT WE.

>> YES. >> JUST THE BUDGET AMENDMENT.

>> WHATEVER STAFF HAS TO DO TO MAKE IT WORK.

[01:35:02]

>> AND AS A REMINDER, IF IT'S STILL AGREEABLE AMONGST YOU ALL, THE FIREWORKS FROM THE FOURTH OF JULY FROM LAST YEAR TO BE REUSED REPURPOSED FOR THIS EVENT, IF THAT IS STILL AGREEABLE. JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT

THAT IS GOOD TO GO. >> COOL, ALL RIGHT.

>> MAYOR SNYDER, COUNCILOR WARD OR? COUNCILOR PORTERFIELD? COUNCILOR GORDON? COUNCILOR MAURICE? COUNCILOR KING? THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE]

>> THANK YOU. YOU GUYS ARE DOING GREAT.

[14. ACTION RELATIVE TO EXECUTIVE SESSION (Part 1 of 2)]

OKAY. NEXT WE HAVE, IF THERE ARE NO OBJECTIONS FROM COUNCIL WE RECEIVED EMAILS ON ITEM 131 A..

IF THERE ARE NO OBJECTIONS I'D LIKE TO PULL THAT UP FOR

DISCUSSION. >> IF YOU INTEND TO VOTE THAT IS

14.1. >> MY BAD.

AND WITH THAT, 14.1, CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION RELATED TO EXECUTIVE SESSION AGENDA ITEMS. I'D LIKE TO MAKE IN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT AS PRESENTED TO US, AS PRESENTED WITH THE LATEST REDLINING, WITH THE CONDITION THAT BEFORE JAMES CAN SIGN IT HAS TO BE SIGNED TONIGHT IN ORDER FOR HIM TO BE ABLE TO SIGN IT.

AND IF IT'S NOT TONIGHT THAN IT IS INVALID.

>> SECOND. >> SO WE JUST TELL JAMES HE

BETTER SIGN IT TONIGHT. >> I'M SAYING THAT ESD HAS TO SEND OVER A SIGNED AGREEMENT FOR JAMES TWO SIGNED BY THE END OF OUR DAY TODAY, OTHERWISE HE WON'T BE SIGNING IT.

'S AUTHORITY TO SIGN IS ONLY TODAY.

>> DOES THAT GIVE THEM ENOUGH TIME, DO THEY EVEN NO?

>> THEY KNOW. >> I THINK OUR ATTORNEY IS IN

CONTACT WITH THEIR ATTORNEY. >> OKAY., I JUST IN NOT WANT THEM WAKING UP TOMORROW MORNING SAME WEIGHT WE HAD SOMETHING TO DO? [LAUGHTER]

>> I MEAN IS IT CRITICAL WE DO IT IN BUSINESS DAY-- TODAY, CAN

IT BE TOMORROW? >> THEY HAD SENT OVER A REDLINE AGREEMENT THAT IN ORDER TO ALLOW JAMES TO SIGN IT WE WANT THE EXECUTED AGREEMENT FROM THE ESD. THEY HAD SENT US ONE YESTERDAY, WHICH COUNCIL RECEIVED THIS MORNING.

THEY HAD A MEETING AT NOON TODAY FOR REVISIONS.

SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT JAMES IS SIGNING THE AGREEMENT THAT THEY SAY THEY APPROVED TODAY.

>> YOU KEEP SAYING THEY HAVE SIGNED SOMETHING, BUT THEY HAVE

NOT. >> THEY WANT TO SIGN THE CLEAN

VERSION. >> WE WANT THEM TO SIGN FIRST BEFORE WE SIGN. EVEN THOUGH THEY'VE ANNOUNCED

THAT THEY'VE SIGNED. >> AND WE WANT COUNCIL TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT IT TONIGHT. BEFORE JAMES ASSIGNS.

BEFORE THE END OF THE MEETING. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION?

>> ARE WE CONFIDENT THEY CAN GET UP HERE AND SIGN IT? DURING THE MEETING? I DON'T WANT TO BLOW THIS WHOLE THING UP JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN'T?

>> THE ATTORNEY FOR THE ESD IS WATCHING RIGHT NOW.

>> OKAY. >> PLEASE CALL THE VOTE.

>> COUNCILOR KING, COUNCILOR PORTERFIELD, COUNCILOR GORDON, MAYOR SNYDER. COUNCILOR MCMORRIS.

COUNCILOR ORDER. >> PASSING 6-0.

[12.2. Discussion and possible action regarding the contract between Hutto Youth Baseball Softball Association (HYBSA) and the City of Hutto dated October 2, 2025. (Mayor Snyder)]

ITEM 12.2. DESPISED-- DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING YOUTH BASEBALL, SOFTBALL ASSOCIATION H IBSA IN THE CITY OF HUTTO DATED OCTOBER 2ND 2025.

AND NOT TO RECAP TOO MUCH. YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO SPEAK FIRST, RIGHT JEREMY? YES.

FIRST UP WE HAVE TO SPEAK, JEREMY CASTOR.

YOU'RE OKAY. I FORGET STUFF PRETTY QUICKLY.

>> GOOD EVENING COUNCIL MEMBERS. MY NAME IS JEREMY CARTER.

I SERVE AS THE VICE PRESIDENT OF HYBSA, I'M HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF HYBSA, AND OUR PRESIDENT, AL MARTINEZ, WHO WAS ON A BUSINESS TRIP TODAY. REGARDING THIS AGENDA I WANT TO START BY SAYING THAT I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME REAL FRUSTRATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY.

[01:40:03]

THERE HAVE BEEN POSTS ONLINE. PEOPLE EXPRESSING THEIR CONCERNS. ABOUT CITY MAINTAINED FACILITY USAGE. THOSE CONCERNS ARE HEARD AND THEY MATTER. BUT I'M HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE HYBSA IS NOT TRYING TO STAND APART FROM THE CITY OF HUTTO.

WE TRY TO STAND WITH YOU AND PARTNER WITH YOU TO BUILD SOMETHING BETTER TOGETHER. WE RECOGNIZE THERE HAVE BEEN CHALLENGES IN THE PAST INVOLVING THE ORGANIZATION.

WE ARE NOT PRETENDING OTHERWISE. BUT WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS THIS.

WE HAVE WORKED TIRELESSLY TO ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES.

TO IMPROVE OUR LEADERSHIP AND TO BE MORE RESPONSIBLE WITH THE TRUST PLACED IN US. MOST OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT HERE TODAY, AT EIGHT STARTING POINT OF AROUND TWO YEARS. SO WE ARE NEW, BUT IT REFLECTS A GROUP THAT IS COMMITTED TO LEARNING AND GROWING AND DOING THE RIGHT THING THE RIGHT WAY. ARE WE PERFECT? NO, NOT AT ALL. BUT WE CARE DEEPLY.

WE CARE ABOUT THESE KIDS, THESE FAMILIES IN THIS COMMUNITY.

AND EVERY SEASON WE ARE STRIVING TO BE BETTER THAN WE WERE BEFORE. HIV AT-- HYBSA DEFENDS ON THE...

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY THE CHILDREN AS WELL.

THOSE FIELDS ARE MORE THAN JUST PLACES TO PLAY BALL.

AIR PLACES WHERE KIDS LEARN TEAMWORK BUILD FRIENDSHIPS, FEEL THE JOY OF COMPETITION AND MOST IMPORTANTLY LEARN RESPECT FOR THEIR TEAMMATES, THEIR OPPONENTS, THEMSELVES, WHETHER THEY WIN OR LOSE. THE GAMES PLAYED ON THESE FIELDS CREATE A SENSE OF COMMUNITY, BRINGING FAMILIES TOGETHER, AND STRENGTHENING BONDS THAT MAKE THE CITY SPECIAL.

THAT IS WHY THIS MATTERS-- THIS MATTER IS IMPORTANT TO US.

WE ARE ASKING FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER IN GOOD FAITH AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES OF HUTTO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. I AM HERE TO ANSWER ANY OF YOUR

QUESTION. >> THANK YOU.

THE REASON I HAD THIS ON AGENDA TWO IS-- I WILL SAY THIS.

I DON'T DO LOUD PRAYS, AND THE CITY MANAGER CAN DISAGREE IF HE WILL. I DON'T GIVE OUT A LOT OF PRAISE PUBLICLY. YOU REALLY JUST GET PAID TO DO YOUR JOB, YOU DO YOUR JOB, AND THAT IS IT.

IS THAT FAIR TO SAY? SO I WAS ACTUALLY MEETING WITH THE HYBSA PERSON THE NIGHT THAT I COMMENTED THAT THE FIELDS WERE NOT PERFECT. SOMETIMES WE HAVE-- THERE ARE THINGS OUT THERE THAT UNLIKE I FEEL LIKE WE ARE SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY, DO I THINK THE STAFF TO DO A BETTER JOB? YES, I'M NOT A PROFESSIONAL. SO THAT ONE NIGHT AFTER A WHOLE WEEKEND OF RAIN, I COMMENTED THAT A SHOUT OUT TO STAFF, AND I ASKED JEFF TO COME UP, IF HE CAN CORRECT ME, I'M CRITICAL OF PARKS JUST LIKE I AM FINANCE AND EVERYBODY ELSE.

YOU'RE NOT DOING ENOUGH, YOU NEED TO SPEND LESS AND DO MORE.

SO THAT'S ALL THAT WAS INTENDED, SO WHEN I HAD THIS MEETING, DISCUSSING IN REAL TERMS ABOUT A THEME WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS AT THE COTTONWOOD LAND THAT IS MUCH BIGGER THAN ANYTHING YOU GUYS PLAY ON AT THIS POINT, I LITERALLY GOT TOLD THAT EVERYTHING IS BOUND UP WITH ME TONIGHT. I WAS LIKE WHAT DID I DO? I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. IT WAS SOMETHING ABOUT THE FIELD CONDITION. WHEN I STARTED READING, IT WAS A SLAP IN THE FACE TO THE YOUTH THAT I WOULD COMMENT THAT STAFF DID A GOOD JOB. THAT IT WAS TONE-DEAF, AND THESE ARE THINGS COMING FROM YOUR BOARD MEMBERS, SOME OF IT FROM NEXT BOARD MEMBERS. I TOOK THAT EXTERNALLY PERSONAL, BECAUSE PREVIOUSLY YOUR CONTRACT I THOUGHT SOCKED IN TERMS OF THE CITY HAD TO DICTATE EVERYTHING TO YOU ALL.

THEY WERE IN YOUR CONCESSION STAND BUSINESS, THEY WERE ALL IN, EACH YEAR I TRY TO FIGHT MORE AND MORE TO PULL BACK ON CITY BEING INVOLVED. I EVEN TRY TO GET YOU GUYS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A SHED OUT THERE, AND I DON'T ALWAYS GET THE VOTES FOR THAT. I TRY TO GET IT TO WHERE YOU CAN BE THE ONES THAT MAINTAIN YOUR FIELDS, BECAUSE IN MY MIND, NO OFFENDS TO JEFF AND HIS STAFF, BUT HIS PEOPLE MAKE TOO MUCH MONEY AND YOU GUYS DON'T COST ANYTHING.

RAKING FIELDS CANNOT BE THAT COMPLICATED.

SO WE SPENT $65,000 OR $45,000 ON A CHALK LINE THING, I'M GOING THERE IS VOLUNTEERS THAT DO THIS.

AND IF THE LINE IS NOT STRAIGHT, I DON'T CARE, THAT'S ON YOU GUYS. YOU PAINTED IT STRAIGHT, YOU DEAL WITH IT WITH YOUR TEAM. BUT INSTEAD WE SPEND ALL THIS MONEY, SO CONSTANTLY EVERY YEAR I'M TRYING TO DIG BACK AND BACK AND PUT MORE. AND WHEN I SEE ALL THIS STUFF UNLIKE YOU GUYS ARE KIDDING ME, AND IF YOU GUYS THINK THAT SOMEHOW JAMES, OR JEFF, THESE GUYS DON'T CARE IF I'M HERE OR NOT. WE TALKED EARLIER, THE FIREWORKS. SO FOR YOU GUYS TO THINK THAT SOMEHOW THEY ARE GOING OUT AND DOING SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR THE

[01:45:02]

MAYORS FIELD AND BEER LEAGUE, YOU TALK ABOUT RESPECT FOR THE KIDS YOUR TEACHING, THE RESPECT GOES BOTH WAYS.

I DON'T PNU CHEERIOS AND I DON'T GET INTO YOUR BUSINESS.

ICHIRO IF I WAS STAFF TO GIVE YOU MORE CONTROL AND YOU GUYS COME OUT AND ATTACK BEER LEAGUE, I GIVE SPECIAL PRIVILEGES, I'M GOING I'VE DONE NOTHING TO TRY TO HELP-- BUT TRY TO HELP YOU ALL. SO I SAID IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE GOOD COACHES AND TEACHERS BACK TO THE KIDS, IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE, MY EXPECTATIONS, AND THESE OTHER GUYS MIGHT DIFFER, IS THAT YOU COMMUNICATE TO THE STAFF.

IF YOU COMMUNICATE TO STAFF AND THEY BLOW YOU OFF, WHICH DOES HAPPEN SOMETIMES, AND JAMES KNOWS THIS, IF A PERSON EMAILS ME AND I'M NOT HEARD BACK IN FIVE DAYS, I FORWARD THAT TO JAMES AND I SAY WHAT'S GOING ON, TO WE NEED TO MAKE A CHANGE HERE? WHAT IS THE PROBLEM.

MIGHT EXPECT TATIAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN COMMUNICATION.

BUT I'LL LOOK THROUGH MY EMAILS, ALL MY EMAILS ARE ABOUT AN INCIDENT LAST YEAR THAT A CITY ATTORNEY WAS ENGAGED IN.

AND IT HAS BEEN NOTHING FROM YOU ALL.

MANY OF YOU ALL HAVE A PHONE NUMBER.

IT'S WRITTEN ON BATHROOM WALLS. AND I'VE GOT EVERYBODY FROM ROOM PROCESSORS TO OTHER PEOPLE OFFERING TO HELP ME OUT.

EVERYONE HAS MY NUMBER. YOU ALL HAVE EMAIL ADDRESSES.

MY ONLY EXPECTATION IS THAT WE HAVE A RELATIONSHIP BUILT ON MUTUAL RESPECT AND MUTUAL WORKING TOGETHER.

WE WILL WORK TO MAKE YOU GUYS SUCCESSFUL.

IF WE CANNOT DO THAT, WE HAVE A BUNCH OF YOUTH WHO WANT TO PLAY BASEBALL, AND IF WE CAN FIND A WAY TO WORK TOGETHER, THAT IS WHERE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BROUGHT IT UP BEFORE, WE OUGHT TO HAVE A CITY LEAGUE. I DON'T WANT A CITY LEAGUE.

I DON'T LIKE CITY DAY CAMPS, I WANT NONPROFITS TO DO ALL THAT.

I'M PUSHING THE CITY MANAGER TO FIND EVERY POSSIBLE WAY FOR US TO SUPPORT EVERY NONPROFIT THEY CAN.

SO ALL I WANT IS THAT IF YOU GUYS HAVE CONCERNS, THEY NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. IF THERE IS A BATHROOM CLOSE DOWN FOR A MONTH, THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE.

OKAY? I GREW UP WITH MY KIDS PLAYING SOCCER. NOT BASEBALL, BUT SAME ISSUES.

SO IF YOU GUYS ARE MEETING WITH STAFF, STAFF IS TELLING US THAT THEY ARE GETTING COMMUNICATED TO AND EVERYTHING IS FINE AND I'M LIKE WELL, NOT ACCORDING TO FACEBOOK, I HAVE EVERY BOARD DIRECTOR LIGHTING ME UP. AND I'M READY TO LIGHT UP THE CITY MANAGER AND THEY START GIVING ME COMMUNICATION THAT IS DIFFERENT. SO I WANT US TO WORK TOGETHER.

I HAVE A COMMITMENT TO WORK WITH YOU, BUT IT'S GOT TO BE ALL RESPECTIVE IF YOU RESPECT ME. AND IF YOU COME OUT AND GET CRAZY WITH ME, EVER BUDDY WHO KNOWS ME KNOWS THAT I DON'T MIND A CIRCUS. SO WE CAN ALL GET INTO THAT.

BUT THAT DOESN'T DO THE CITY GOOD.

WHAT DOES THE CITY GOOD IS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE A CONCERN AND STAFF ADDRESSES IT. AND YOU PAVE IT.

IF THEY DO NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE, YOU COMMUNICATED TO US, AND WE TELL JAMES TO GET IT STRAIGHT. AND IF YOU CANNOT GET IT STRAIGHT, HE'S THE ONLY GUY WHO CAN MANAGE, THAT'S-- WE WILL GET SOMEBODY WHO CAN DO THAT. THAT'S ALL I WANT TO SAY.

I DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH YOU GUYS.

BUT I WOULD LIKE THIS BUDGET HERE TO CUT OUT ALL OF OUR HELP WHEN IT COMES TO RAKING THE GROUND AND STUFF LIKE THAT, AND THE CHOCK. IF WE COULD GET A RETURN OF OUR $50,000 CHALK LINE MACHINE, DID WE NOT TALK ABOUT THAT? EVAN AND I WERE LIKE YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME.

BUT FOR ME IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER.

BECAUSE IT'S $50,000. YOU GUYS, WE CAN BUILD YOU A SHED AND SUPPLY YOU WITH TEN YEARS OF CHALK AND A MACHINE.

AND YOU GUYS WOULD BE JUST AS HAPPY.

THEN WHEN YOU COMPLAIN TO ME OR US IT WOULD BE WE ARE OUT OF CHALK AND WE NEED MORE CHOCK. AND HOW DO WE RUN OUT OF CHALK.

THAT'S WHAT I WANT. THESE GUYS MIGHT HAVE DIFFERENT.

I GET PASSIONATE JUST LIKE YOU GUYS DO.

I'M HUGE INTO REDUCING GOVERNMENT, AND I'M HUGE INTO PUTTING THE BURDEN ON YOU ALL AND SUPPORTING YOU ALL IN EVERY MANNER WE CAN. AND I HOPE EVERY YEAR WE CAN GET IT TO A POINT WHERE YOU GUYS HAVE 50 FIELDS WITH 1000 KIDS PLAYING AT ANY HOUR OF THE DAY. AND YOU ARE HIRING YOUR OWN PEOPLE TO EVEN CUT THE GRASS. THAT WOULD BE THE DREAM OF MINE, INSTEAD OF PAYING AN EMPLOYEE TO GO OUT ON SATURDAY AND CUTTING GRASS OR DOING SOMETHING. I SAW THE PICTURES OF THE FIELD.

I DID NOT WANT TO SEND YOU PICTURES OF THE KICKBALL FIELD, BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT LOOKS LIKE TRASH AND SOMETIMES IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD. AND THE LAST THING I WILL SAY IS THAT IT DID TURN INTO A JOKE SOMEWHAT BECAUSE THE WHOLE KICKBALL LEAGUE WAS LIKE DANG, I WILL TALK A WHOLE LOT ONE AND THERE, THEY SAY DANG, YOU SAY ONE GOOD THING AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS. YOU GUYS PROBABLY SAW OTHER PEOPLE COMING IN. AND THAT'S NOT GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY. AND WE DO HAVE A COUPLE PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS LIVING IN TOWN THAT ARE TALKING TO US, AND THEY ARE HERE AND I THINK THEY ARE USED TO THE CHAOS AND THAT'S

[01:50:06]

PROBABLY WHY THEY ARE HERE, AND THEY LIKE IT, BUT IT DOESN'T HELP. SO WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET THIS GOING AND FIND OUT, IF YOU GUYS HAVE QUESTIONS TONIGHT, JUST BACK THERE GETS PAID TO GET GRILLED.

SO WE CAN ASK HIM AND MAKE HIM EXPLAIN WHY SOMEONE THREW DOWN A CHUNK OF CONCRETE AND TORE UP A TOILET TO THE POINT WHERE IT WAS LIKE $5000 TO FIX. AND THE SEPTIC WENT OUT.

BUT IF MY KID IS SIX YEARS OLD AND HAS TO USE THE RESTROOM, I DON'T WANT HIM THERE. SO I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE CITY'S PROBLEM. THEY HAVE TO WORK OVERNIGHT AND THE NEXT DAY. AND THAT'S MY THEME WITH JAMES ALL THE TIME. I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR GUY'S PROBLEM. YOU GET PAID TO PROVIDE A THING AND I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT THE TOILET IS DOWN FOR MORE THAN AN AFTERNOON, BECAUSE 6-YEAR-OLD AND 8-YEAR-OLDS EASING THE RESTROOM, YOU GUYS ARE TRYING TO COACH AND RUN LEAGUES.

YOU HAVE TO SCREW AROUND WITH THAT, THE MOMS ARE NOT HAPPY, WITH THEIR DAUGHTER OUT THERE IN THE WOODS, GUYS TRAILING THROUGH THE WOODS, IT'S A MESS. RIGHT? SO I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I'M NOT MAD AT YOU ALL, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE WERE TOGETHER AND FIND A WAY WHERE YOU CAN COMMUNICATE. BECAUSE BUDGET TIME IS COMING UP AND WE NEED TO ADJUST THE PARTS BUDGET POTENTIALLY TO MAKE YOU GUYS HAPPY AND THE KIDS PRODUCTIVE IN WHAT THEY DO.

>> ABSOLUTELY. AND I APPRECIATE THAT.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS I ALSO WANTED TO MENTION IS THAT WE ARE DEFINITELY NOT ANGELS OR INNOCENT IN THIS SCENARIO.

WE DEFINITELY NEED TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WERE SAID. AND WE DO WANT TO CREATE A FRUITFUL RELATIONSHIP WITH ALL-- WITH YOU ALL.

THE AGENDA THIS YEAR HAS BEEN HOW DO WE BETTER PARTNER THE CITY OF PORTO. RIGHT? THAT WAS PART OF THE REASON THAT WE DID NOT REDACT ANYTHING ON THE CONTRACT THIS YEAR. RIGHT? ONE OF THE ISSUES IS THAT THIS IS ALSO THE ONLY PLACE THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE TO US TO PLAY ORGANIZED BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL.

AND THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE.

THE FEARS WE HAVE IS LOST. SO WE DIDN'T MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS ON THAT CONTRACT. WE HAVE JEFF HERE TODAY, BUT WE HAVE DEVELOPED A REALLY GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH JEFF.

JEFF AND ME ARE IN A GROUP CHAT. WHENEVER THEIR FIELD ISSUES OR DELAYS ON PARTS FOR BATHROOMS AT COTTONWOOD CREEK OR THINGS OF THAT SORT. SO WE HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING THOSE RELATIONSHIPS. AND IT WAS VERY FRUSTRATING WHEN WE HAD SIX STRAIGHT DAYS OF RAIN AND WE SEE ONE FIELD LOOKS GREAT AND ANOTHER THREE FIELDS ARE IN SHAMBLES FOR THE BETTER PART OF THE WEEK. SOME OF THOSE ACTIONS ON THOSE WORDS WERE-- PROBABLY COULD HAVE BEEN LEFT TO THEMSELVES.

BUT THAT IS ANOTHER THING WE ARE WORKING ON.

HIS BEING MORE TRANSPARENT WITH OUR LEAGUE.

WE MET WITH MEMBERS OF THE LEAGUE THE DAY AFTER ACTUALLY.

WE SCHEDULED A TEAMS MEETING, INVITED ALL THE COACHES AND FAMILIES TO ADDRESS US INDIVIDUALLY WITH THEIR CONCERNS AND PROVIDE US WITH CONCERNS FOR PARKS DEPARTMENT.

AND THAT IS WHAT WE INCLUDED IN THAT EMAIL THAT WE SENT TO YOU ALL. SO I HAVE AWES HERE, HE IS OUR WEBMASTER. HE'S DEVELOPING A WEBSITE FOR US SO WE CAN CREATE A SHARE PLANT THAT SAYS, HEY,, THESE ARE SOME OF THE PROJECTS WE ARE WAITING ON, WE ARE WORKING WITH THE CITY, THIS IS THE ESTIMATED TIMELINE, WHETHER OR NOT IT'S THE LATER ON TIME. SO WE CAN BE MORE TRANSPARENT

WITH OUR PEOPLE AS WELL. >> I WAS PLANNING ON GOING WEDNESDAY TO THE MEETING, AND WE HAD AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MEETING POP-UP YESTERDAY. THAT WENT TO ABOUT 6:00.

AND I DIDN'T HAVE A LEAGUE GAME THAT I HAD TO GO TO.

>> HALF OF US PLAY LEAGUE GAMES AS WELL ON SUNDAY NIGHTS FOR

SOFTBALL. >> BUT LAST NIGHT'S MEETING, AND I WOULD ARGUE, AND OTHER MEMBERS MAY DIFFER, MAYBE WE WILL SEE IT TOMORROW ON THE NEWS, LAST NIGHT'S MEETING REVOLVES AROUND A VERY BIG FIRST STEP OF WHAT WILL DEVELOP 250 ACRES OF THE COTTONWOOD PROPERTY. WHICH FROM THE DAY WE CAN ARGUE BACK AND FORTH ON HOW WELL THAT WOULD BE OR NOT BE.

BUT THE POTENTIAL PLANS FOR THE FUTURE ARE NOT ALL DEPARTMENTS HOUSES. IT'S ALL ABOUT RACK.

AND I THINK IT WAS EVERYTHING WITH CHRIS PART THAT I VOTED

[01:55:01]

AGAINST. SO I HAVE BEEN PUSHING REC CENTER, COMMUNITY CENTER, SENIOR CENTER, A POOL AND FIELDS.

WHATEVER THE THINGS ARE. AND I LOOK BACK IN 2023, THERE IS A VIDEO OF ME READING OFF THE SURVEY, AND FRITZ IS GOING TO BE A GREAT PART, BUT TO BE HONEST, WE DON'T GET ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT SWING SETS USE AND PAVILIONS PACKED.

MY KIDS MOVED HERE, THEY WERE BIG INTO THE SOCCER.

ALL THE FIELDS HERE SOCK. THERE'S ONLY ONLY ONE THAT'S WORTHY PLAYING ON, AND IT'S ONE FIELD.

SO MY KIDS STOP PLAYING SOCCER. AND JUST WENT TO MIDDLE SCHOOL.

THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS SCHOOL SPORTS DON'T DO THAT WELL.

WE DON'T HAVE A VERY GOOD LACE FOR THEM TO PLAY NOW.

WE HAVE KIDS PULLING ON SOCCER FIELDS ABOUT HALF THE SIZE OF WHAT IT NEEDS TO BE REGULATION. AND THEY GO TO HIGH SCHOOL AND THEY ARE GASSED AND THEY CAN'T KEEP UP.

THEY ARE NOT USED TO REGULATION FIELDS.

YOU GUYS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH YOUR FIELDS.

YOU HAVE FIELDS WAY TOO SMALL, AND WHEN KIDS PLAY ON A REGULAR SIZE FIELD THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

THEY ARE NOT USED TO COVERING ALL THAT TERRITORY.

SO THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME CHANGE, ESPECIALLY WHEN HALF THE POPULATION IS UNDER THE AGE OF 35.

THERE ARE A TON OF KIDS THAT ARE NOT EVEN IN YOUR LEAGUE YET THAT CAN EVEN PLAY AT. THEY ARE TWO AND THREE AND CRAWLING. WE HAVE TO GET GOING ON THIS.

AND I WISH THE MAYOR WAS HERE, HE USED TO BE A BOARD MEMBER WAIT-- WITH HYBSA, SO HE WOULD DEFTLY BE IN SUPPORT OF INVESTMENT IN FIELDS AND FACILITIES.

I WANT TO GET THESE GUYS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK AND I ALSO WANT TO GIVE-- GET JEFF UP HERE. THERE ARE CONCERNS, AND I WON'T PUT YOU ON THE SPOT. BUT WE WORK FOR YOU GUYS, WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO TO MAKE YOU HAPPY, BESIDES BUILDING A NEW FIELD TODAY. AND WHAT IS IT? AND JEFF CAN TELL US, YOU NEED TO ALLOCATE MORE MONEY, OR NOT ENOUGH MONEY. BECAUSE YOU'RE PUTTING IT ON PEOPLE BLOWING UP TOILETS AND STUFF.

>> I WANT TO ECHO THE MAYOR'S SENTIMENTS.

WE DON'T PLAY SPORTS. WE DON'T SPORTS BALL VERY WELL.

OUR SPORTS ART WIND, STRING AND PERCUSSION.

BUT I HAVE FRIENDS THAT PLAY WHO SEND ME MESSAGES, QUITE A BIT THIS WEEK. LIKE WHAT'S GOING ON.

WHAT'S GOING ON. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S APPROPRIATE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ADEQUATE IT-- ETIQUETTE IS, BUT THE FACT THAT YOU WERE WITH JEFF AND HIS TEAM IS GREAT, MAYBE YOU SHOULD BLOW THAT UP MORE. I DON'T KNOW IF JEFF IS DOING A GOOD JOB OR BAD JOB. WHATEVER THE CASE IS.

BUT I WOULD SAY WHATEVER YOU GUYS CAN DO TO REMIND STAFF THAT YOU CAN REPORT IT AND GET WHAT YOU NEED.

SEND US AN EMAIL. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S APPROPRIATE TO HAVE A WORKSHOP FOR THESE GUYS SO WE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY NEED, BECAUSE WHEN WE GO TO BUDGET SEASON, THERE IS SOMETHING LIKE A, WE ARE WILLING TO DO THIS AND WANT TO DO THIS, MAYBE IT WE CAN CUT BACK ON AND GET THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS

OWNERSHIP. >> THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

PINO...-- I KNOW, MY OPINION IS WHEN YOU ARE THE ONES PLAY ON THE FIELD, AND YOU TEAR THEM UP AND COME BACK AND SAY THEY ARE RUINED, WELL, IT'S A LESSON FOR US AND WE HAVE TO SPEND THE MONEY TO INVEST AND WE WILL TAKE IT FROM YOU.

BUT TO ME, WE ARE SO AFRAID OF YOU ALL MAKING THE MISTAKE THAT, FOR ME, TAKE THE TRAINING WHEELS OFF.

IF YOU GUYS DO AS GOOD OR BETTER OF A JOB, AGAIN, YOU ARE FREE.

FREE LABOR IS ALWAYS A LOT BETTER IN MY MIND, WHEN JAMES IS TALKING BUDGETS, THEN-- WITH GOOD PEOPLE THAT MAKE GREAT MONEY. WE HAVE A WORKSHOP.

BUT YOU GUYS HAVE TO BE READY TO BE CRITICAL AND DETAILED.

AND THAT IS WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THE PUBLIC.

THAT'S WHY I DON'T LIKE A ONE-SIDED ARGUMENT.

DEBATE ME, EVERYBODY DOES THAT. THE PROBLEM IS, I GET OUTVOTED ALL-- A LOT OF TIMES. YOU NEED TO PRESENT A PROBLEM TO SEVEN PEOPLE. IF FOUR OF THESE GUYS SAY WE WANT A CHANGE IT HAS TO CHANGE. FOUR OF US CAN MAKE ANY STAFF MEMBER DO ANYTHING BY DIRECTIVE OF THE CITY MANAGER TO GO DO ABC. BUT ARGUING WITH YOU GUYS WILL

NOT GET ANYTHING CHANGED. >> I LIKE THE PARTNERSHIP YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT EARLIER. I THINK THAT'S WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S POSSIBLE.

I WILL SAY OUT LOUD. BUT IF YOU GUYS HAVE FUNDS, WE NEED A FIELD THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, MAYBE THERE IS A PARTNERSHIP THERE WHERE WE BOTH WORK ON THAT FIELD TOGETHER.

BUT YOU GUYS ARE USING IT. RIGHT? I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE.

WHAT ARE THOSE TWO FIELDS BEHIND-- WHAT IS IT?

[02:00:07]

>> RED AND BLUE? >> I DON'T KNOW.

WE PLAYED ABOUT FIVE YEA TEST.

>> WE WERE ON THE FIELD WITH A CHAIN-LINK FENCE.

PLAYGROUND THAT KIND OF NEIGHBORHOOD.

THOSE CREEKSIDE THEY NEED TO BE DONE WITH.

SO WHY CAN'T WE PARTNER AND SAY IF YOU HAVE FUNDS LET'S WORK TOGETHER. LIKE THAT TYPE OF PARTNERSHIP IS WHAT I ENVISION IN PARTNERSHIP. BUT YOU KNOW WE ARE USED TO GET

TOGETHER. >> OF COURSE YOU KNOW HAVE NOT BEEN TO CREEKSIDE AT SEVERAL YEARS AT THIS POINT.

>> ME NEITHER. >> BUT I TOTALLY AGREE TRANSPARENTLY. SOME SORT OF MEANING BETWEEN HYBSA, THE LEADERSHIP, AND JUST TO LIKE UNDERSTAND THE TASK THAT THEY DO. AND INCORPORATE THAT INTO OUR CONTRACT. MAYBE SOME TIME SINCE SEPTEMBER BEFORE WE START THE FALL SEASON REALLY LOOKING INTO WHAT KIND OF ITEMS WE CAN ADJUST. I GUESS STRANGLING EACH SIDE.

>> OF IT SOONER BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO BUDGET TIME IT STARTS

LIKE NEXT MONTH. >> OKAY.

[LAUGHTER] >> BUT WE STOP CUTTING FUNDS OUT OF JAMES BUDGET, RIGHT? AND I THINK DO TO EMPOWER YOU ALL LIKE WE CAN LISTEN TO STAFF AND STAFF MAY HAVE A VERY GOOD REASON WHY YOU MAY MAINTAIN THE FIELD.

LIKE IF THAT IS A BIGGER ONE IF THAT IS WHEN YOU EXCLUSIVELY USE

THEN WE CAN HAVE THAT DEBATE. >> AND YOU KNOW ALL THE ECONOMY PUT TOGETHER WHILE I WOULD MAKE TIME TO MEET WITH YOU ALL.

>> I HAVE BEEN ON THE BOARD FOR TWO YEARS.

WHEN I WAS A KID AND YOU PLAYED ON A BALL FIELD YOU HAD RAKE THE BALL FIELD WHEN YOU WERE DONE. YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE LETTING YOU USE, RIGHT? LIKE JEFF KNOWS ME PRETTY WELL BUT I RUN THE TOURNAMENT I AM TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR AND WE HAVE 28 TEAMS THAT COME OUT FROM ALL AROUND DIFFERENT LEAGUES AND TRY TO DO THIS WITH THOSE THREE FIELDS.

SO WHEN WE GET RAINED OUT WE ARE TRYING TO GET YOU KNOW ALL THESE TOWNS TO COME IN AND I HAVE TO CALL BACK AND SAY SORRY I CANNOT. WITH THEM LAST WEEK IN... THE WHOLE COMMUNITY CAME OUT AND GOT THE FIELD READY.

APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. >> THAT IS OUR BREAD EVERY

SINGLE YEAR. >> LIKE YOU COULD MAKE PAY TWICE AS MUCH. LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT WITH THE HUNDRED 50TH WE CAN MAKE MORE MONEY.

LIKE KIND OF SPENDING THAT'S WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO IS TAKE LESS OUT OF THE POCKETS OF YOUR PARENTS, BUT MAKE SURE WE HAVE BETTER FACILITIES AND BETTER SERVICE.

AND WHERE YOU GUYS CANNOT DO CERTAIN THINGS OR NOT CAPABLE OF THEN THAT IS WHERE STAFF IN MY MIND SHOULD SUPPLEMENT THAT.

WE'RE YOU CAN'T DO THAT LIKE WE WILL TRY TO GET WITH THEM GET WITH STAFF AND TRY TO GET A WORKSHOP SET UP.

6:00 EVERY LIKE FIRST AND THIRD THURSDAYS.

>> TO THAT WE TALKED ABOUT NOT RAISING AND WATER VEILS.

SO WE GOT DETAILED STUFF IF THERE IS ANYTHING TO YOU GUYS NEED WE CAN HAVE JEFF COME UP HEAR NOW AND YOU GUYS CAN EMAIL BUT I WANT TO REALLY MAKE SURE THE LINE OF COMMUNICATION IS EXTREMELY STRONG. BASICALLY WE DON'T HAVE THE LEVEL OF FRUSTRATIONS YOU GUYS HAVE.

YOU KNOW I AM ALWAYS FRUSTRATED AND ALL OF THAT SO I AM IMPATIENT. HIGH EXPECTATIONS.

IF I THINK PEOPLE ARE NOT BEING SERVED THEN I THINK THAT IS A

[02:05:03]

VERY BIG PROBLEM THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE DO NOT HAVE.

>> AND AS SOON AS WE GET OUR WEBSITE UP AND GOING LIKE FOR OUR ENHANCEMENT THAT WE ARE GOING TO DO.

KIND OF SHOW YOU TRANSPARENTLY THE THINGS WE ARE WORKING ON INTERNALLY. WE CAN BE MORE INVOLVED I GUESS IF YOU WANT, 501 C3 AND THAT IF JAMES WANTS TO SAY ANYTHING DIFFERENT, BUT WILL THEY UNDERSTAND A LOT OF THINGS ARE OUT OF HIS CONTROL AS WELL. AND WILL HELP WITH SOME OF THIS WATER THAT STANDS THERE FOR DAYS.

>> AND IF THIS IS FOR MY TEAM WE WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT THAT GOOD, OKAY? ANYWAYS.

YOU GUYS HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? >> I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS HAS BEEN ENCOURAGING TONIGHT. TO HEAR US COME TOGETHER.

WE NEED TO GO DO MORE AS A COMMUNITY AND SEE WHERE WE COME TOGETHER. SO BEFORE WE DO GO INTO OUR BUDGET CYCLE, BE ABLE TO COME TOGETHER WITH YOU IN A WORK SESSION AND PUT EVERYTHING OUT THERE.

SEE WHERE WE CAN SUPPORT YOU. LIKE THAT IS WHERE NOTHING REALLY MATTERS AT THE END OF THE DAY.

AND I GET IT I UNDERSTAND THAT AS A PARENT YOU KNOW WE GET ALL KIND OF WORKED OUT. LIKE SAY THINGS THAT WE SHOULD NOT SAY BUT WE CAN RISE ABOVE THAT AND I THINK THAT IS WHAT WE ARE DOING GREAT HERE RIGHT NOW. SO YOU KNOW OUR KIDS ARE LOOKING AT US. THEY ARE LITTLE MINI ME'S, RIGHT? I ALWAYS USED TO CALL MY SON YOU KNOW AND HE WOULD SAY CERTAIN THINGS AND DO CERTAIN THINGS THAT I WAS LIKE OLD MAN. THAT ONE HURT ME.

BECAUSE HE WAS REFLECTING HOW I ACT, YOU KNOW? SO I'M REALLY ENCOURAGED BY WHAT WE ARE HEARING.

WE WENT TO SUPPORT YOU WE WANT TO SUPPORT THE CHILDREN.

WE WANT EVERYBODY TO SUCCEED IN MAYBE THIS PARTNERSHIP HERE IS GOING TO HELP IN THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER.

AND WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO COME TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY. AND DO YOU KNOW, YOU TOOK OWNERSHIP OF WHAT HYBSA DID, THE MAYOR TOOK OWNERSHIP.

LET THIS BE AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE CAN DO AS A COMMUNITY TO GET THERE. SEE WHAT YOU HAVE TO BRING.

>> APPROACH IT GET A WHERE. >> I DID HAVE A QUESTION ON THAT THOUGH. BECAUSE LIKE TEXAS LIKE

SOMETHING ASK ABOUT ME. >> YES LIKE IF YOU GUYS INVITED US IT IS REAL PARTICULAR. WE WOULD HAVE TO PLACE A NOTICE WE HAVE TO INVITE THE ENTIRE PUBLIC TO COME 72 HOURS IN ADVANCE OR THREE BUSINESS DAYS. AND A HUNDRED PEOPLE COULD SHOW UP THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW, OR WE COULD INVITE YOU ALL TO A WORKSHOP THAT WE ALREADY HAVE REGULARLY A MEETING.

IT IS ALREADY SCHEDULED AND THEN WE CAN HAVE A BACK-AND-FORTH JUST A LOT LESS PAPERWORK. JUST WE GET INVITED TO OTHER GROUPS WE HAVE TO PUT LIKE A CHURCH SERVICE.

LIKE WE CANNOT TALK ABOUT BUSINESS WHICH EVERYTHING IN THE CITY IS BUSINESS. BUT IF WE HAVE A WORKSHOP WE CAN TALK ABOUT ANYTHING. LIKE THAT IS ALL THAT IS WE HAVE

TO BE CAREFUL. >> UNDERSTOOD.

>> KUDOS TO YOU FOR TRYING TO BE TRANSPARENT.

PEOPLE STARTED CRACKING DOWN ON US PRETTY HARD.

BUT IS THERE ANY ACTION YOU WOULD LIKE US TO TAKE?

>> THAT IS SOMETHING RIGHT NOW. >> HAVE NOT BEEN TO THE FIELDS THIS WEEK BECAUSE BOARD MEETING YESTERDAY AND OF COURSE TONIGHT,

[02:10:01]

I MISSED PRACTICE THIS WEEK. BUT JUST TRANSPARENT.

>> YOU HAVE JEFF COMING UP NOW. >> A GOOD EVENING MAYOR, COUNSELOR, I'M DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT WORK SESSION JUNE FOURTH AND IT LOOKS LIKE JUNE 18TH ARE OPEN SO THAT IS THE DATE MAYBE WE COULD SET THAT AND STONE TODAY SINCE WE'RE ALL

HERE. >> YOUR BOSS WHO WE ANSWER TO IF HE IS OKAY WITH THAT. I WILL LET YOU GUYS WORK IT OUT IN YOUR TEXT THREAD. BECAUSE WE GOT TO BE THERE SO WE KNOW WE CAN MAKE IT. [LAUGHTER]

>> WE ALSO HAVE ALL STARS. >> AND THE DIRECTORS TOURNAMENT.

JUNE SIXTH. OKAY.

SO THE FOURTH WOULD PROBABLY WORK.

OKAY. >> WE WILL MAKE SURE THE MAJORITY OF OUR EXECUTIVE TEAM CAN BE THERE.

IF WE NEED TO I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE NEXT WORK SESSION IS MAYBE I CAN I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE SCHEDULE IS BUT ALL OF THAT AND

I THINK THERE IS LOTS THERE. >> COULD POTENTIALLY TO A SUBCOMMITTEE OF THREE OF YOU AND US SEVERAL PREVENTATIVE.

>> WELL IHIT SUBCOMMITTEES BUT COUNSELOR GORDON.

>> IF YOU GUYS HAVE A SUBCOMMITTEE AND THEN WE CAN MEET WITH YOU AND BRING IT TO EACH HAVE -- THAT HAVE CHANGES.

BUT LIKE TO HEAR JEFF'S CONCERNS MAY BE IT IS GOING TO BE OVERBLOWN. LIKE UNLESS WE HAVE ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE. BUT IN THE SUBCOMMITTEE JEFF WELL WE COULD MAKE -- MEET AT THE PARK'S OFFICE.

SO I WILL LEAVE IT UP TO YOU GUYS WHAT YOU GUYS WANT TO DO.

WE COULD EITHER MEET THURSDAY FOR A SUBCOMMITTEE OR WORKSHOP WITH YOU GUYS CAN SAY YOU GOT TO HAVE A SUBCOMMITTEE AND I WILL

GET ONE FOR THEM. >> SOUNDS GOOD.

>> THE PRESIDENT OF HYBSA JUST TEXTED ME HE SAID JUNE FOURTH

WILL WORK. >> LET'S JUST PLAN ON

JUNE FOURTH. >> SEE YOU GUYS UPSTAIRS MAIN CONFERENCE ROOM 6:00 P.M. AND THEN WE WILL GO THROUGH EVERYTHING AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO CHANGE AND GO FROM THERE.

SOUND GOOD? >> YES, SIR,.

>> COME WITH HONESTY. >> PERIOD.

>> WHAT HE IS SAYING BECAUSE WHEN WE LEAVE THAT ROOM IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH US OR STAFF OR SOMETHING.

>> WE GOT TO KNOW ABOUT IT. >> SAY IT BECAUSE WE DO NOT B.S.

AROUND. WE NEED TO KNOW THE DIRECT WE NEED TO KNOW THE FACTS WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE ISSUES ARE. SO WE CAN THEN ADDRESS THEM WITH THE CITY MANAGER OR CONTRACTUALLY WE DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE THAT MEETING AND THEN YOU GUYS HAVE A FRUSTRATION TWO MONTHS LATER AND GO WE SHOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING.

I KNOW IT IS KIND OF FEARFUL YOU GUYS ARE AFRAID WE ARE GOING TO COME DOWN ON YOU AND ALL OF THAT.

GENERALLY WE WORK FOR YOU SO WE COME DOWN ON STAFF MORE THAN WE EVER COME DOWN ON THE PUBLIC BECAUSE WE ARE ALL HERE SUPPOSED TO BE SERVING DEAL. SO.

>> YES TRANSPARENCY IS KEY. >> ALL RIGHT, THANKS GUYS

THANK YOU. >> WITH THE REST OF THE STUFF.

[10. CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS]

>> WITH THAT WE GO NEXT TO THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS 1022 ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE OR REMOVE ITEMS AS REQUESTED.

>> WHAT DO YOU SAY? >> I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE UNLESS YOU GUYS HAVE ITEMS YOU WISH TO HAVE APPROVED

OR PULLED. >> I THOUGHT GYM IT WAS PULLED

I'M SORRY. >> I JUST HAVE A COMMENT NOTHING

THAT I WANT TO PULL IT SO. >> MOTION TO APPROVE?

>> YES, PLEASE. >> SECOND.

>> SO WHEN I WAS GOING THROUGH THE CASSETTE -- CONSENT AGENDA PACKET ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS A COMMON THEME TO ME WAS FROM 10-3, THROUGH 10-11. I'M SEEING A COMMON THEME HERE AND YOU KNOW I GET THAT EVERY ONE OF THOSE ITEMS HAS TO DO

[02:15:04]

WITH CONSTRUCTION RELATED PROJECT RELATED, AND LOOKING AT THEM. THE COMMON THEME THAT I SAW WAS CHANGE ORDERS. SCHEDULE DELAYS, SCHEDULE EXTENSIONS. ADJUSTMENTS AFTER THE FACT.

MY CONCERN IS LESS ABOUT ANY ONE ITEM IN PARTICULAR, WE GET INTO CONSTRUCTION AND THEN FINDING ISSUES THAT IMPACT COST AND TIMELINE, THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CAUGHT UP FRONT IN MY OPINION.

OR IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN OR COORDINATION ISSUE UP FRONT RATHER THAN OF THESE THINGS HAPPENING AFTER THE FACT.

AND WHEN IT HAPPENS REPEATEDLY IT AFFECTS DELIVERY IT AFFECTS COST AND HONESTLY IT AFFECTS THE PUBLIC'S CONFIDENCE AND HOW THESE PROJECTS ARE BEING THE MANAGED.

AND WE CATCH THE BRUNT OF A LOT OF IT, YOU KNOW YOU GUYS DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU WERE DOING, YOU GUYS ARE HORRIBLE, WE CANNOT GET ANYTHING DONE ON TIME SO ON AND SO FORTH.

SO I'M NOT SAYING EVERYTHING IS AVOIDABLE, BUT WE DO NEED TO TIGHTEN THINGS UP WE DEFINITELY NEED TO TIGHTEN THINGS UP ON THE FRONT END SO WE ARE NOT CONSTANTLY ADJUSTING WORK THAT HAS ALREADY STARTED. SO I JUST WANTED TO FLAKE THAT AS A CONCERN AGAIN WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT THIS AND IT IS FRUSTRATING FOR ME AS A COUNCILMEMBER BUT IT IS ALSO FRUSTRATING FOR ME AS A RES RESIDENT.

SO ANYWAYS THAT IS ALL THE COMMENT THAT I WANT TO MAKE

ABOUT THAT. >> I WILL ECHO THIS AS WELL.

YOU KNOW MY DAY JOB I LOVE CHANGE ORDERS.

BUT IN THIS JOB SINCE I AM REPRESENTING THE OWNER, THE TAXPAYER, THEY ARE TOUGH. I UNDERSTAND WHY WE NEED IT AT TIMES. I GET THAT, IT HAPPENS.

BUT I AM WITH ERIN ON THAT. WE JUST NEED TO DO OUR BEST TO MITIGATE CEOS -- COS. MITIGATE EXTENSIONS AS MUCH AS WE CAN. SO YES THAT IS REALLY.

>> MAYOR AND COUNCIL I JUST WANTED TO REMIND YOU TO ADD TO YEAR MOTION THAT IT IS NOT A CREDIT FOR THE CMA ARE

CONTINGENCY, IT IS A REDUCTION. >> YOU GUYS OKAY WITH IT?

>> YES. >> I WAS SECOND WITH THESE GUYS SAID IT WOULD ADD A CAVEAT THAT I THINK PART OF THIS IS CALLED CLEAN UP FROM MAYBE NOT BEST PRACTICES OVER THE PAST YEAR AND SO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE NOW DOING I THINK WE HAVE HAMMERED ON JAMESON STAFF PRETTY HARD THAT WE HAVE AN EXPECTATION DON'T MOVE THAT PROJECT AND SO I THINK SOME OF THIS IS JUST MORE IN MY OPINION A BASIC CLEANUP OF THE MESS THAT ALREADY STARTED SO THE EXPECTATION GOING FORWARD IS THERE IS THIS CHANGE ORDER.

LIKE I'M GOING TO GET THIS BECAUSE THESE GUYS ARE SO TOUGH ON THIS KNOWING THAT WE SHOULD BE FIRM BUT NOT UNREASONABLE.

BUT ANYWAYS. >> IT IS NOT JUST THE MATTER OF CHANGE ORDER IT IS THE MATTER OF HITTING DEADLINES.

I THINK HE WAS DEFENDING YOU THERE A LITTLE BIT.

>> DON'T TELL THEM I HAVE A REPUTATION TRYING TO UPHOLD.

>> SO ANY DISCUSSION ON THE CONSENT ALL RIGHT HEARING IT ON

A PLEASE CALL ABOUT. >> COUNCILMEMBER WARNER, COUNCILMEMBER BORIS -- MORRIS, COUNCILMEMBER KING .

>> MOTION PASSES 6-0. >> COULD YOU CONSIDER COMING UP

11-5 ITEMS. >> HAD ENOUGH IF THERE IS NO

[11.5. Consideration and possible action on Resolution No. R-2026-110 authorizing and creating the Stromberg Public Improvement District within the City of Hutto, Texas. (Sara Cervantes) ]

OBJECTIONS. >> CONSIDERATION HOUSE RESOLUTION ARE -- 2026 -- 110 AUTHORIZING STRONGER IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT WITHIN THE CITY OF HUTTO, TEXAS.

[02:20:08]

MOTION TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED. >> MAYOR AND COUNCIL WE GAVE YOU TWO WAYS TO IMPROVE THIS BED. ONE IS TO ALLOW THE NINE E-TEN SPLIT AND THE CREATION RESOLUTION STUFF IS NOT RECOMMENDING THAT RESOLUTION BUT TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION WHICH IF THERE IS SOME CHANGE TO THE NINE E-TEN SPLIT WITH THE RESIDENT, THAT WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK AS AN AMENDMENT AND ALSO AN AMENDMENT TO THE FINANCING AGREEMENT.

>> NINE E-TEN BE RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

>> RIGHT. >> THAT IS WHAT THE CURRENT

RESOLUTION IS. >> WENT AHEAD AND THERE.

>> ONE OPTION IS NINE E-TEN AND THE OTHER IS WHAT?

>> NOT TO HAVE THAT IN THE CREATION RESOLUTION BUT IF THERE IS IT FOR A CHANGE THAT THE DEVELOPER NEEDS LIKE SAY HE HAS 91 RESIDENTIAL AND 9% COMMERCIAL WE WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK AND

CHANGE THE CREATION RESOLUTION. >> IF THEY HAVE 10% RESIDENTIAL AND 90% COMMERCIAL DO WE HAVE TO COME BACK?

>> YOU WOULD CHASE THE FINANCING AGREEMENT ART MAY BE ABLE TO

EXPLAIN THIS BETTER. >> I HEAR THE THING AND I WILL BE HONEST THEY TOLD ME SO HERE IS MY QUESTION, I TALKED TO THE GUYS THIS WEEK AND THEY SAID WE JUST WANT WHAT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING GONE AND THERE WAS A RECOMMENDATION POTENTIALLY OF CHANGE AND THEY SAID WE DO NOT WANT TO GO DOWN THAT ROAD WE JUST WANT LITERALLY WORKING ON THE NINE E-TEN.

>> YES, MY UNDERSTANDING NINE E-TEN HAS ALWAYS BEEN PART OF THE PLANET THINK WITH WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY HAS EXPLAINED IS ALREADY IN YOUR AGREEMENT AND I BELIEVE.

>> IN THE FINANCING AGREEMENT AS WELL.

>> WE ATTACH THE COORDINATES TO THAT AGREEMENT AND THEY JUST

APPROVED THAT. >> YOU ALREADY HAVE THE NINE E-TEN SPLIT IN THERE. TWO RESOLUTIONS ONE INCLUDES THE NINE E-TEN SPLIT IN THE DOCUMENTS FOR THE PIT ITSELF WHICH CANNOT BE CHANGED IN THE FUTURE IN ANY WAY.

SO REALLY BE HARDWIRED IN AND ANY WAY.

THE OTHER CREATION RESOLUTION DOES NOT HAVE THAT SPLIT IN THERE BECAUSE IN SPEAKING WITH CITY STAFF NO PROTECTION FOR THE CITY AND A CHANGE TO THAT SPLIT WAS CITY COUNCIL SO YOU HAD THE ABILITY TO CHANGE THAT IN THE FUTURE.

IF YOU WANT TO MAKE IT TRULY TIGHT YOU CAN CREATE A RESOLUTION THAT ESSENTIALLY CANNOT BE CHANGED IN THE FUTURE ESPECIALLY AFTER DEVELOP IT OCCURS.

AND IT WOULD NOT BE AT THE COUNCIL DISCRETION IN THE FU

FUTURE. >> SO IF I SAY I MAKE MY MOTION I DO NOT WANT THE NINE E-TEN IN THERE YOU WOULD SAY IT IS STILL

COVERED EVERYWHERE ELSE. >> THAT IS CORRECT AND THAT IS EXPLAINED BETTER THAN I CAN BUT YOU WERE COVERED IN OTHER PLACES TO THE PROCESS AND BACK TO COUNCIL TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT SO YOU CAN STILL MAKE THAT CHANGE IF YOU WANT TO BUT IT IS HARDWIRED INTO THE OTHER DOCUMENTS JUST A MORE FLEXIBLE WAY WERE YOU MAKE THAT CHANGE IN THE FUTURE IF HE EVER WANTED TO I'M NOT SURE WHY YOU WOULD BUT IF YOU DO IT TONIGHT WITH THAT NINE E-TEN SPLIT WHICH HAS BEEN DISCUSSED BEFORE THE MEETINGS THIS ARGUMENT WITH THE LAND RECORDS OF THE COUNTY SO IT WILL BECOME A MUCH STRONGER LEGAL POSITION THAT IT CAN BE CHANGED IN THE FUTURE YOU HAVE THE CHOICE TO DO THAT IF YOU WANTED WITH THE WAS NOT TO MAKE IT THAT TIGHT BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE ABILITY I'M SORRY IT CANNOT BE CHANGED ANYWAY WITHOUT COMING BACK TO COUNCIL IN THE FUTURE NO MATTER WHAT.

>> I WILL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ADOPT THE RESOLUTION WITHOUT THE

NINE E-TEN. >> YES, BECAUSE THAT IS HIGHLIGHTED THE FIRST RESOLUTION HAS THAT HIGHLIGHTED IN THERE.

>> SUBMITTED. >> THE SECOND DOES NOT AND IT IS THE APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 2026 -- 110.

>> MOTION TO APPROVE OUR-116-9 E-ZERO WITH THE SPLIT ADMITTED.

>> YES. >> THIS IS GOING TO BE A CONFUSING ONE ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING CAN ON A PLEASE CALL THE BOAT.

>> COUNCILMEMBER WARNER COUNCILMEMBER KING, COUNCILMEMBER MORRIS, COUNCILMEMBER PORTERFIELD.

THIS IS A DEVELOPER THAT WANTS TO BRING AND ASSEMBLE -- SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT INTO THE SINGLE AREA. BASED ON OUR CURRENT WASTEWATER INFRASTRUCTURE AND OUR PLANS MOVING TO THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, OUR ABILITY TO GET WASTEWATER SERVICE TO THIS PARTICULAR PARCEL IS NEARLY NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE.

SO THE WORK AROUND THAT WE HAVE NEGOTIATED HERE IS THE NEXT TWO ITEMS ARE COMPANION ITEMS TO THIS AGREEMENT IS THIS DEVELOPER WILL PAY IS $500 TO ESSENTIALLY COMPENSATE US FOR REMOVING THEMSELVES OUT THAT IS A LUMP SUM PAYMENT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THE TWO SUBSEQUENT AGREEMENTS WHICH ARE THE NEXT ITEMS HERE ON THE AGENDA SHOW UP THAT NEGOTIATION AS A WHOLE IN THE NEXT ITEM WILL NOT PROVIDE SERVICE TO THIS PARCEL UNTIL THEY PROVE THAT WE HAVE BEEN PAID AND THEN THAT FINAL AGREEMENT WHICH IS I THINK ITEM 11-4 IS BETWEEN THE CITY OF HUTTO AND THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK TO ALTER OUR CITY BOUNDARIES TO REMOVE THEM FROM THE WASTEWATER CCN SO THIS IS THE FIRST AGREEMENT IN THOSE THREE.

[12.1. Consideration and possible action on the 2026 Planning & Zoning Commission Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Recommendation. (Howard Koontz)]

HAVE ITEM 12-1 THAT WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR CONSIDERATION OF THE POSSIBLE ACTION PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION THIS COMES WITH A WAY TO PAY FOR THE BILLION

DOLLARS IN PROJECTS ON THIS. >> THAT IS WHAT I LIKE.

>> I THOUGHT YOU WANTED MONEY. I HAVE CHECKS.

>> GIVING UP HIS SALARY LOVE IT. >> GOOD EVENING MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I AM THE DIRECTOR OF ITEM SERVICES. THIS RELATES TO THE CITY'S CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN FIVE-YEAR PLAN ALTHOUGH IT IS REVIEWED AND AMENDED ANNUALLY THAT A PROCESS BEGAN BEFORE MY TENURE IN THE CITY WHICH STARTED IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR AND ENDED JUST AFTER I GOT HERE SO THIS IS THE PLAN WHERE PRESENTED TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION BY SOME OF THE DEPARTMENT HEADS LIKE THE PARKS DEPARTMENT AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT AND OTHERS TALKING ABOUT THE QUALITY OF LIFE INITIATIVES THAT THE CITY UNDERTAKES EVERY YEAR AND A SIX MAIN CATEGORIES TRANSPORTATION, WATER, WASTEWATER, PARKS AND RECREATION, DRAINAGE AND FACILITIES, SO AS I AM NOT THE SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT ON THIS YEAR'S... I BROUGHT THE PLANNING AND ZONING CHAIR WHO WILL BE ABLE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT MORE OF THE SPECIFIC NUTS AND BOLTS ON THE CIP.

>> THANK YOU, SIR. >> GOOD EVENING ONCE AGAIN COUNSEL. FILLING THE DUAL ROLE OF CHAIR OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT ADVISORY COMMITTEE, SEA-PACK. SO I BELIEVE EVERYBODY HAS THE PDF OF THE PROPOSED CIP FOR THIS YEAR, I DID NOT SEND THAT I

BELIEVE THAT WAS SENT TO YOU. >> IT IS IN THE PACKET.

>> EXCELLENT. >> KIND OF UP TO YOU DO WE WANT TO GO LINE BY LINE DO WE WANT TO GO BY EXCEPTION YOU KNOW WHAT DO WE HAVE QUESTIONS ON. EITHER WAY IT WORKS FOR ME.

>> I CAN DEFINITELY PROVIDE SOME INSIGHT INTO THE THINKING.

>> I CANNOT FIND MY ONE FROM LAST YEAR BUT WHAT WOULD HELP IS WHAT CHANGED FROM ONE YEAR TO THE NEXT.

>> I BELIEVE WE HAD TO REQUESTED CHANGES TO WHAT YOU ALREADY APPROVED THE PREVIOUS YEAR SO THE GREEN BLOCKS, OKAY, THOSE ARE, THOSE ARE NOTES THAT ARE APPROVED.

[02:35:06]

>> IF YOU GO DOWN PAGES IT IS AMOUNT CONFIRMED WITH FINANCE.

>> THE 2025 CIP. THAT IS THE SECOND THE TABLET.

OLD THERE ARE NO TABS, NEVER MIND.

>> LOOK LIKE 27 RECOMMEND THINGS THAT PREVIOUSLY WE HAD SAID ONLY IF WE FOUND SOMEBODY TO SPONSOR. AND IT TO BE HONEST MOST OF THE PARKS WE SAID MOVE IT TO 2031. OUTSIDE OF THE FIVE YEARS.

>> CREEKSIDE PARK REFORESTATION AREA.

THAT IS A NEW ONE I DO NOT REMEMBER THAT ONE BEING ON THERE

BEFORE. >> SEVERAL OF THE PARKS ARE A

NEW. >> LET'S SEE, I AM SCROLLING DOWN TO PARKS BECAUSE I HAVE THE SPREADSHEET.

>> FOR ME THAT THEY TRAIL EXTENSIONS I MEAN I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE REFORESTATION IS BUT I'M NOT INTERESTED IN ANY TRAIL EXTENSIONS IN MY MIND UNTIL WELL EVERY YEAR I TRY TO GET IT TO SAY IN GENERAL. THE SURVEY HAS ALWAYS BEEN CONSISTENT ON PEOPLE WANT TRAILS BUT THEY DO NOT RANK AS HIGH AS A REC CENTER FIELDS SO THEY ARE GREAT THAT IS WHY PREVIOUSLY I SAID WE COULD PUT THEM ON THERE AND FIND A SPONSOR.

>> UNLESS I AM WRONG ALL OF THOSE NEW PARK PROJECTS, THE REFORESTATION, THE TRAILHEAD, THE MOBILE SEATING ARE NOT

ASSIGNED A YEAR. >> THEY ARE ALL SIGNED IN 27.

>> OH, REALLY,. >> LIKE TO .7 MILLION FOUR TR

TRAIL. >> WHAT NUMBER IS THAT?

>> P AT 54. >> IT SAYS 2030 AT THE END BUT

IT IS IN THE COLUMN OF 27. >> YES OKAY I SEE THAT ONE.

THAT IS IN THE 27 COLUMN. APPARENTLY FINANCE HAS PUT THAT IN. NOW P54 IS ACTUALLY COMPLIANT -- COMBINED WITH P26 WHICH IS THE CREEKSIDE PARK REFORESTATION

AREA. >> HOW DO WE KNOW THAT?

>> THAT IS ON THE FINANCE SHEET. >> IT SEEMS WEIRD AT CREEKSIDE PARK REFORESTATION TO ADD IT TO THE PROJECT.

>> I DO NOT DISAGREE WITH YOU. BUT THAT IS WHAT FINANCE PROVIDED TO US. THESE PROJECTS ARE COMBINED ACCORDING TO FINANCE. GAINING PARKING IMPROVEMENTS

THAT WE HAVE FOR 400 GRAND. >> I BELIEVE IT IS A PROJECT IN PHASES I'M TRYING TO FIND THE PARK NUMBER.

>> THE FOLLOWING CARE IS 4 MILLION THE FOLLOWING CARE IS THREE AND A HALF. THEN TO .6.

>> THIRTEEN. >> THANK YOU.

THAT IS A PHASE PROJECT FOR MY UNDERSTANDING I AM NOT THE PROJECT MANAGER ON THIS BUT IT IS GOING TO BE RESTROOMS, NOT RESTROOMS, PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT LOCATED NEAR THE REST ROOMS TRAIL TO CONNECT THE REST ROOMS TO THE PLAYGROUND, TO THE

PARKING LOT, ET CETERA. >> DON'T HAVE INTEREST IN THAT EITHER. SO WHAT IS ON THE SAME LINE?

P13 2027? >> THAT IS AUTOMATIC EXTERNAL DIFF LIBERATOR -- AUTOMATIC EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR STATION I BELIEVE THAT HAS ALREADY GONE IN.

>> THIS IS MY GENERAL THINK WHEN IT COMES TO PARKS JUST DROPPED $10 MILLION I DO NOT PERSONALLY HAVE ANY MORE PARKING IMPROVEMENTS I DON'T KNOW HALF A MILLION OR THREE QUARTERS OF A MILLION INTO ANOTHER PARK PERSONALLY DONE WITH PARK IMPROVEMENTS I WANT TO MAINTAIN. BUT STILL HAVE THE FIELDS AND I

[02:40:06]

DO NOT KNOW IF WE ARE ABLE TO KEEP DOING 10 MILLION DEALS EVERY YEAR AND THEN NOW WE WILL DROP 30 MILLION IN THE FIELD TO ME SO TYPE IT ON COUNCIL. LIKE IT OR NOT WE DROPPED OVER 10 MILLION IN THERE EACH YEAR WE PUMPED A COUPLE MILLION -- COUPLE MILLION INTO THE PARKS SO WE WILL HAVE GREAT PARKS AND THEN WE WILL STILL WE DO NOT HAVE A BALL FIELD FOR THEM.

LIKE PARKS RUNNING OFF TRAILS AND STUFF.

>> I DO NOT THINK IT WILL EVER GO AWAY.

IF I COULD. THE ONE THAT WE WERE SUGGESTING IS F09 NEAR THE TOP. WE HAVE A REC CENTER, AND AQUATIC CENTER, A COMMUNITY CENTER AND LIBRARY ALL WITH FEASIBILITY STUDIES. AND OUR SUGGESTION WAS WE BELIEVE IT WOULD BE CHEAPER AND MORE COST-EFFECTIVE TO COMBINE THEM INTO ONE FEASIBILITY STUDY AND THEN PHASE OUT THOSE PROJECTS FROM A SINGLE SITE. SO F09.

>> AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW PARKS IS GOING TO ADVOCATE FOR THEIR BUILDING IN ONE LOCATION AND LIBRARY WILL ADVOCATE FOR THERE IS IN ANOTHER AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.

AND CENTRALIZING THESE ALL THE SPACE -- SEA-PACK TENDS TO THINK THAT -- THE CPAC SEEMS TO THINK WE HAVE NOW A -- FORMED A COMMUNITY CENTER. AND WE COMBINE FACILITIES AND SO

ON AND SO FORTH FOR THESE COSTS. >> NOT FOR THIS YEAR BUT THE

YEAR AFTER? >> CORRECT.

THAT WOULD BE ESSENTIALLY COMBINING AND THEN REDUCING, COMBINING THOSE FOR FEASIBILITY STUDIES AND THEN REDUCING THEM.

>> WHEN BIG FEASIBILITY. AND IF THAT IS THE CHOICE OF THE COUNCIL THAN WE WILL REMOVE THE OTHER FEASIBILITY STUDIES.

SO WANT TO PRESENT THAT AS A COST-SAVING OPTION BECAUSE THESE

ARE VERY BIG EXPENSIVE PROJECTS. >> THAT WAS THE OLD ESTIMATE WE DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH OF COMBINED WOULD COST BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT

EXPLORED. >> I DO NOT THINK THAT AS RELIABLE. WE TALKED IN THAT SUBCOMMITTEE AS WE TALKED ABOUT PUBLIC RECORDS A 50 MILLION-DOLLAR FACILITY WE ARE GOING TO FIND SOMETHING ELSE.

I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE WILL BE A STEADY.

>> I DON'T KNOW IF THE PARKS WILL WAIT.

>> THERE ARE OFFICE PEOPLE WITH LIMITED EQUIPMENT.

>> ONE OF THE CONCERNS WILL BE DOING THESE STUDIES.

>> SIX YEARS AND WE WILL WANT SOMETHING ELSE.

AND DO THAT IN 28 BECAUSE AND 28 MY HOPE WOULD BE NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE HERE BUT BECAUSE THERE WOULD BE BALL FIELDS.

EVEN THAT IS A TOP ONE EXACTLY. TALKED BEFORE IT BECOMES A POOL, A REC CENTER. A BIG PARTNERSHIP.

HOPEFULLY A NEW MAYOR AND WE CAN CONVINCE IF THEY WANT TO BUILD I DO NOT CARE HOW MANY ARE GOING OVER THERE WE HAVE THE SAME RATE THINGS LIKE THAT THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO BECAUSE I DON'T

KNOW HOW WE HIT ALL OF THESE. >> ARE THINKING WITH THE COMBINED FEASIBILITY IS PHASE ONE COULD BE PARKS HEADQUARTERS,

[02:45:06]

PHASE NUMBER 2 COULD BE TWO YEARS, THREE YEARS LATER, AND AQUATIC CENTER. PHASE THREE COULD BE JUST SO IT IS THEY ARE. A FEASIBILITY STUDY MAY ENTICE CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP WHICH COULD THEN RESULT IN US ADVANCING THE TIMELINE ON THAT A LITTLE BIT AGAIN, JUST AN OP

OPTION. >> AND THE MAYOR I MEAN MY VISION HAS BEEN TO DO SOME KIND OF REGIONAL THING.

SHARING WITH BOTH CITIES BUILD IT BETWEEN US AND TAYLOR YOU KNOW YOU GET THE Y INVOLVED YOU HAVE SO MANY GROUPS PUMPING MONEY INTO THIS THINK YOU COULD MAKE IT A REALLY REGIONAL

FACILITY. >> BUT AT THIS POINT WE DO NOT

KNOW NUMBER. >> I HAVE SOME NUMBERS.

>> HE DOES HAVE SOME NUMBERS. BUT I DON'T DISAGREE WITH THAT IF WE ARE TO DO A FULL ON AQUATIC CENTER WILL WE BE PULLING ISD SWIM MEET FOLKS CURRENTLY GOING TO CEDAR RIDGE IN ROUND ROCK? WILL THEY BE ON BOARD WILL THEY CONTRIBUTE? WITHOUT ANY SORT OF ON A PAPER

WE ARE KIND OF LOOK TO GET. >> WHEN WE GET TO THE POINT WHERE WE ARE ABLE TO GET THOSE CONVERSATIONS TO COMBINE THE TWO CITIES I THINK THAT IS WHERE WE WILL GET INFORMATION TO PROVIDE

AN CONTENT. >> I FORGET WHAT THEY CALL THAT.

>> ALSO UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS. THEY NEED ALL THESE EXTRA SUB MEETS. YOU KNOW 150, 200 TEAMS. IF WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT IS 10,000 CAPACITY INDIVIDUAL WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BRINGING PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND THEN BENEFITING DO YOU KNOW ALL OF THE STACKS AND THE HOTEL AND THE RESTAURANTS. THAT IS WHAT I ALWAYS ENVISIONED BETWEEN THE TWO. AND ISD IS LOOKING SPECIFICALLY AT DOING A FULL IN THEIR LONG-RANGE FACILITY PLANNING SO STOPPED FOR THREE OR FOUR YEARS BUT IT IS ON THEIR RADAR.

>> IT SOUNDS LIKE F09 IS NOT IN FAVOR BUT I WILL MOVE ON.

HERE IS WHAT I PROPOSE AS WE MOVE SECTION BY SECTION I DO NOT SEE US TAKING A VOTE TONIGHT ONLY BECAUSE I THINK WHAT IS THAT WE HAVE A LITTLE CIP. WE WILL HAVE TO SPEND A COUPLE HOURS BECAUSE WE WILL HAVE A LOT OF MOVING AROUND.

COUNCIL APPROVED THREE YEARS OF ADA COMPLIANCE FUNDING AND WE ARE JUST INCORPORATING THAT INTO THE CIP BECAUSE WE THINK IT SHOULD BE PART OF THE CIP AS OPPOSED TO MAINTENANCE.

>> CAN YOU DO ADA LIKE IF YOU ARE MAKING ADDITIONS IS THAT A CIP ITEM ARE IS THAT A MAINTENANCE ITEM?

>> IT IS MORE OF A CIP ITEM. >> COUNCIL HAD IT TO THREE EAR ROSE. ONE WAS MAINTENANCE AND UPGRADE OF EXISTING FACILITIES AND ONE WAS CREATION OF NEW ACCESS I WILL SAY. SO THAT IS WHY WE INCLUDED THAT BUT AGAIN THAT IS SUBJECT TO REMOVAL.

I'M JUST SAYING IF WE WILL ACCOUNT WITH COUNCIL HAS ALREADY APPROVED THE SPENDING WE SHOULD REFLECT THAT AS WELL.

>> I REMEMBER A DEAL ON SIDEWALKS AT SOME POINT YOU HAVE TO DO PARKS AS WELL. ANYTHING ELSE IN THE FACILITIES?

>> F NUMBER 1, THROUGH F NUMBER 10.

>> PARKS? JUST SOME GENERAL NOTES IN TH THEIR. MUCH OF IT WE ARE SUGGESTING MOVING OUT BECAUSE OF THE HEAVY EXPENDITURES AND PARKS ALREADY.

[02:50:05]

>> ALL OF THE P'S. LIKE 5.2 MILLION IN PROJECTS.

>> YES. >> TOUCHING ON P73.

>> THERE IS NOTHING THERE. >> IT IS A BLANK FIELD BUT THEN YOU'LL HAVE A BUNCH OF SUBFIELDS UNDER IT WITH ZERO FOR THE

PROJECT NUMBER. >> OKAY.

>> THOSE WE HAVE DISCUSSED WITH PARKS BOARD WE HAVE DISCUSSED WITH STAFF, THESE WERE ON STREET TRAILS ON STREETS THAT ARE ALREADY SCHEDULED FOR UPGRADES AND EXPANSIONS ET CETERA.

AND CPAC VIEW ON THE STREET IS THAT IF WE ARE DOING THE STREETS THEN HAVE THE SIDEWALK SO IT IS TRAIL COMPLAINED.

DO NOT RIP UP THE SIDEWALK WE PUT IN THE YEAR BEFORE TO MAKE

IT THREE MORE FEET WIDE. >> SO SAYING WIDEN THE ROAD.

>> WE HAVE THREE CIP PROJECTS TO EXPAND THE NUMBER OF LANES, THE NUMBER OF SIDEWALKS AND ALL OF THAT.

BUT ALSO WE HAD A COMPLETELY SEPARATE PROJECT TO DO A TRAIL ALONG THAT SECTION AND THAT DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE TO US, JUST DO IT ALL AT ONCE RATHER THAN GO BACK, RIP UP THE SIDEWALK THAT WE JUST PUT IN AND PUT A TRAIL IN.

>> I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WERE SAYING.

SO YOU BUILD THE ROAD AND THEN WHAT IS OUR CODE?

6 FEET WIDE FOR A SIDEWALK? >> I BELIEVE IT IS FIVE.

>> OKAY 5-FOOT LONG SIDEWALK AND THEN WE PUT A TRAIL NEXT TO T

THAT? >> WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING IS MAKE THE SIDEWALK 8 FEET WIDE, AND NOW IT IS A TRAIL.

>> 5-FOOT SIDEWALK? 78 YEARS OF PEER NEVER HAD A PERSON TALK ABOUT THE SIDEWALKS ARE CROWDED AROUND HERE CAN YOU.

>> EXACTLY. >> 5 FEET SEEMS ALREADY WIDE IF THAT IS COPING THE EIGHT. AT SOME POINT IF WE GET A WHOLE BUNCH OF WALKERS WALKING AROUND IN THE COMMUNITY AND IF YOU PARK A BLOCK A WAY FROM DOWNTOWN THEY COMPLAIN YOU HAVE TO WALK AROUND THE CORNER IF WE GET TO THAT POINT THAN I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT WIDENING THE SIDEWALKS. BUT THEN THIS IS IN AND OF

ITSELF ALMOST ANOTHER SIDEWALK. >> THOSE THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THEY ARE NOT FOR LOTS OF PEOPLE TALKING -- WALKING ON SIDEWALKS THEY ARE MEANT FOR JOINT USE PATHS.

SO THAT MEANS YOU HAVE A DEDICATED BIKE TRAIL ON THE SIDEWALK AREA. SO BICYCLISTS CAN PASS PEOPLE WHO ARE WALKING, PEOPLE CAN BE WALKING WITH STROLLERS, THEY CAN CROSS IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT NOT JUST AN EXTRA WIDE SIDEWALK.

>> A PERSON RIDING THEIR BIKE DOWN.

>> I HEAR YOU, JUST SAYING IT IS DIFFERENT WHAT THEY ARE TALKING

ABOUT IS A MULTIUSE PATH. >> ALSO ANOTHER THINK I AM ALSO AGAINST BIKE PATHS ON ROADS BECAUSE IT IS ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS THINGS I HAVE SEEN WHEN YOU HAVE A BIKE LANE AND A TURN LANE AND THEN AGAIN IF WE ARE IN AN URBAN AREA I SEE THAT AS BEING GREAT IN A VERY DENSE URBAN BUT MY PERSONAL OPINION IS PEOPLE MOVE TO THE SUBURBS BECAUSE THEY LIKE BIG TRUCKS AND THEY LIKED IT DRIVE AND I KNOW THAT WE GO TO ALL THESE CLASSES AND SEMINARS TO GET TO WEAR ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE GREAT.

BUT EVEN... DOES NOT HAVE. >> NO DISAGREEMENT FROM ME

THERE. >> JUST SAYING IT MIGHT BE.

>> BUT THE CPAC WAS. >> I BELIEVE YOU BOUGHT I KNOW LOOKING AT THE MAP HERE. LIKE IS THAT AN 8-FOOT SIDEWALK?

>> I DO NOT THINK WE HAVE AN 8-FOOT SIDEWALK IN THIS WHOLE

CITY. >> SUPER WIDE.

>> I CAN WALK WITH MY WIFE TOGETHER.

[02:55:04]

BECAUSE YOU HAVE A THOUSAND KIDS ALL LEAVING SCHOOL AT ONCE.

>> RIGHT SO MEMBER MOVED TO THE CITY LIMITS LIKE THAT IS OUT IN

THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. >> GENERALLY SPEAKING AND THIS IS STUFF I'M SURE GOT PULLED OFF THE PARKS MASTER PLAN, GENERALLY SPEAKING THESE TRAILS ARE NOT EVERYWHERE THEY ARE LIKE BACKBONES. SO YOU WOULD HAVE NORTH-SOUTH ROUTES THAT ARE DEDICATED AND THEN YOU ARE ENCOURAGING PEOPLE SO THE PATH ALREADY GOES FROM FRITZ PARK UNDERNEATH THE ROAD AND THEN COMES UP AND GOES BEHIND YOU KNOW AS IT GOES ACROSS THAT IS THEY SORT OF TRAILS AND THEN IN CERTAIN PLACES YOU CANNOT JUST BE WHERE THE CREEK IS.

AND THEN WHEN EVERY YOU DO THAT YOU CONTINUE THAT TRAIL IF YOU WILL WORK ON ACTIVITIES SO PEOPLE ULTIMATELY COULD JUMP ON THEIR MOUNTAIN BIKE OR THEIR BIKE OR WHATEVER AND THEY COULD GO FROM THE NORTH PART OF TOWN, THE SOUTH PART OF TOWN, THE EAST PART OF TOWN THEY CAN DO THIS SORT OF STUFF.

IT SHOULD BE A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE TYPE CONCEPTS.

>> INNOVATION BOULEVARD, SCHNEIDER BOULEVARD.

JUST SAYING I'M NOT GOING TO BELABOR THE POINT BUT SO MANY PRIORITIES ABOUT THE SIDEWALK THAT IF THE MAJORITY OF COUNCIL WANTS TO DO IT THAT IS GREAT B BUT.

>> THAT IS WHY THE CPAC SAID LET'S JUST SCRAP ALL OF THOSE AND IF WE ARE GOING TO DO IT DO IT AS PART OF THE STREET

IMPROVEMENT. >> YOU WERE STILL ADDING A MILLION DOLLARS TO OUR PROJECT HERE.

WHEN YOU START DOING ALL THESE PROJECTS THAT AS A WHOLE OTHER PROJECT WE COULD DO AND WHAT I AM GETTING AT IS THERE IS A GIGANTIC TRAIL SYSTEM I NEVER SEE ANYBODY ON AND IT HAS TO BE MINIMUM 6-FOOT WIDE. YOU CAN RUN AN ATV ON.

THESE ARE GREAT THINGS FROM BEING IN A COMMUNITY BUT IF WE DROPPED $10 MILLION AS WE ARE DOING ON OTHER ROADS BUT AGAIN I

MEAN WHAT WE ARE WE CRAZY HERE? >> I THINK WHAT I SEE HERE TO ME THAT MAKES SENSE BUT I DO UNDERSTAND.

>> WHAT I HEARD IS THERE IS A MASTER TRAIL A PLAN AND THE INTENTION IS TO HAVE A MASTER TRAIL EVENTUALLY AND PLACE AND WHAT I HEARD CPAC SAYING IS LOOK, IF YOU WILL PUT A MASTER TRAIL IN AT SOME POINT AND WE ARE WIDENING THAT ANYWAYS, WHY NOT GO AHEAD AND MAKE IT AND SAVE MONEY IN THE LONG RUN? BUT I THINK THE LIST OF ROADS PROBABLY NEEDS TO BE REVISITED SO MAYBE THAT MEANS THE ANSWER IS YOU GO BACK TO THE TRAIL UP MASTER PLAN AND YOU MODIFIED THAT TO SAY WHAT ARE THE KEY TRAILHEADS WE NEED LIKE CITY MANAGERS SAY WHAT IS THE NORTH-SOUTH OR EAST-WEST CORRIDOR IS.

YOU DON'T DO EVERY ONE OF THEM. BUT MAYBE THIS LIST GETS DOWN TO

TWO OR THREE AND NOT 12. >> OUR RATIONALE AGAIN WAS LET'S NOT RIP UP THE SIDEWALKS WE JUST PAID FOR.

>> YOU COULD ADD A THREE-FOOT OR A 5-FOOT.

THAT IS JUST ANOTHER PATH BUT ANYWAYS.

>> AND THEN P74 THAT IS NOT EVEN IN THE CITY LIMITS.

>> THE QUESTION WE HAD ON THAT IS THIS IS THIS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT. IF YES THE ANSWER IS THEY PAY

FOR IT. >> WE ALREADY MAKE THESE GUYS HAVE THE 5-FOOT SIDEWALK AND THE BIGGEST PAIN AND AUSTIN IS THAT EVERYBODY HAS ALL OF THESE GRAND IDEAS AND THEY MAKE EVERYBODY PAY AND HERE IS WHAT ENDS UP HAPPENING.

THIS IS WHY THE PRICES COST MORE BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO HAVE SIDEWALK, YOU HAVE TO HAVE THIS OTHER WALKWAY THING, YOU HAVE TO HAVE LIKE A TEN BY TEN PEDESTRIAN AREA IN DEVELOPMENT SO ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE GREAT YOU WALK DOWN THERE SO THE GOVERNMENT IS INSTITUTING ALL OF THESE IDEAS THAT SOMEBODY CAME UP WITH AND THEN YOU GO DOWN THERE IN THESE TEN BY TEN AREAS IT IS JUST RETAIL IN THE BOTTOM, RESIDENTIAL IN THE TOP, SO ALL OF THE RETAIL IS A VACANT. BUT THE APARTMENTS HAVE A HIGHER RENT BECAUSE PEOPLE SAY, OKAY, IF YOU WILL FORCE ME TO BUILD OF THE RETAIL THEN I DO IT NO BANK I WILL LOSE MONEY AND I WILL GET IT FROM THE RENT SO THEY CHARGE PEOPLE MORE RENT.

BECAUSE I THINK WHEN WE DO THIS AS COUNCIL AT LEAST FOR A YEAR

[03:00:01]

PHILOSOPHICALLY WE WILL NEED TO KNOW WHAT WE WANT TO SEE YOU GUYS AND STAFF SPENDING TIME COMING UP WITH VARIOUS I MEAN THEY ARE NOT EVEN IN THE CITY LIMITS AT THIS POINT.

>> AGAIN P74 IS 88 COMPLIANCE FOR THE PARKS.

COUNCIL ALREADY FUNDED THAT SO WE ARE JUST SAYING THAT SHOULD BE IN THE CIP. NEXT ONE IS TRANSPORTATION THAT IS ROADS. AND WE DID HAVE ONE ON HERE THAT WE THOUGHT SHOULD BE MOVED UP WHERE WAS THAT? SORRY, LOOKING AT A TON OF PROJECTS HERE.

IT WAS THE INNOVATION. GIVEN THAT SPROUTS IS GOING IN AND INNOVATION IS DETERIORATING FAIRLY QUICKLY.

>> IS IT P22? >> YES.

WE WOULD RECOMMEND MOVING THAT UP FROM ITS CURRENT I BELIEVE IT

IS 29 KNOW, CURRENTLY IT IS 30. >> ITS A 29? OKAY. YES, IT IS 29.

SO MOVING THAT UP FROM 29 TO 27 BECAUSE OF SPROUTS GOING IN.

AND IF INNOVATION IS TRASHED OR NOT CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING THAT LEVEL OF TRAFFIC SPROUTS IS NOT GOING TO BE HAPPY.

>> RELIANCE IS THE INVASION. >> I THOUGHT YOU WERE SAYING DO

AN ALLIANCE. >> OKAY.

>> THERE IS AN EDGE WIDENING AND SAFETY THERE IS THAT ON TOP OF EDGE MINT IMPROVEMENTS WE HAVE T10 AND T32.

>> WE WANT TO CLARIFY THAT PROJECT TO THE RIGHT TURN LANES.

>> WHEN YOU SAY CHURCH BUT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

>> HUNTER DISCOVERY CHURCH. >> THAT IS ALREADY BEING DONE.

>> EXACTLY THAT IS ALREADY BEING DONE BUT TO ELIMINATE THE

CONFUSION. >> WE WANT TO RENAME IT.

>> RIGHT. >> WHAT IS THEY FIVE AND A HALF

MILLION THAT IS PROPOSED? >> FOR T10?

>> THAT IS ACCORDING TO FINANCE AGAIN.

I AM NOT SURE WHERE THOSE NUMBERS ARE COMING FROM.

>> OKAY, WHAT IS IT? WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

EDGE MINT IMPROVEMENTS? >> THE CLARIFICATION IS THAT PROJECT, T10, T10 2023 IS THE SIDEWALK FROM U.S. 79 TO

DISCOVERY CHURCH. >> AND AT THE.

>> THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY MONEY IN THEIR BUT FINANCES SHOWING THE MONEY IN THEIR AND I THINK THAT MAY BE GOING TO T32, WHICH IS THE EDGE MINT WIDENING AND SAFETY WHICH WOULD BE THE FOUR

LANES ET CETERA. >> THAT IS CONFUSING.

>> I THINK FINANCE ACCOUNTED FOR THAT BUT THAT IS ACTUALLY A

SEPARATE PROJECT. >> YOU GUYS HAVE AN EXPANSION

ALLIANCE PROJECT. >> 121, SORRY.

MY MOTHER-IN-LAW DOES THAT. SO IN MY HOUSE IT IS CALLED A CARE IN. BUT I HEAR YOU GUYS ON ALLIANCE INNOVATION. MY THINKING IS IF THOSE ROADS HAVE TO BACK UP WITH THE DEVELOPMENT THAT HAPPENS THERE, WE STILL HAVE TO FIX THE STUFF THAT IS ALREADY JAMMED UP.

WITH THE PAVEMENT DEAL THAT WE COULD SAY IF YOU FIX THIS YOU WERE ALWAYS PLAYING WHACK A MOLE BECAUSE YOU FIX THIS NOW YOU ARE BEHIND HERE AND YOU CATCH THEY HAD HERE AND JUST LET THAT BE BEHIND. SO THERE IS A COUPLE DIFFERENT

[03:05:04]

ROUTES. >> WE FINALLY HAVE THE INNOVATION SO YOU KNOW AT LEAST WHEN I GO THROUGH THEIR IT IS A LOT MORE TRAFFIC THAN IT USED TO BE BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE NOT AFRAID

OF IT AS MUCH. >> WE HAVE THE WIDENING IN THERE WHICH WE ARE WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM A CONSULTANT ON THAT ONE. THAT IS T47, 48.

THAT WOULD BE 11 BY 17. >> THANK YOU, LAUREN.

>> AND THEN WE STARTED AT T73, THE DESIGN OF THAT ONE, THAT IS

CARL STERN AND 685. >> OLD TOWN STRAIGHT I DON'T REMEMBER A PHASE QUITE LIKE T THAT.

>> NOT OPERATING ON THE SAME ONE BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE BUDGET

FOR PHASE ONE. >> FINANCE HAS NOT ACCOUNTED FOR

THAT. >> ON A LIST FROM WHAT WE HAVE

LAST YEAR. >> I HAVE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF

THAT PROJECT. >> NO, OLD TOWN STREET.

>> I NEVER EVEN HEARD OF THAT. >> I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THAT IS.

>> THAT WAS DISCUSSED IN THE 2025 CIP BUT I DO NOT RECALL COUNCIL APPROVING ANY OF THAT BECAUSE IT STILL HAS ON A SIDE

YEAR NUMBERS ON THE PROJECT. >> WHAT MADE THESE GO INTO OUR

COLUMN? >> THAT WAS CARRIED OVER FROM

LAST YEAR. >> I WILL HAVE TO LOOK I WILL FIND IT I DON'T EVEN THINK THAT WAS ON LAST YEAR'S SPREADSHEET BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE DEBATED THAT FOR THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A THREE HOUR DEBATE ON WHAT WE WOULD DO WHEN WE ARE GOING TO DO IT ARE. BECAUSE I THINK WE CAN JUST USE

THE VESSEL. >> DO THAT AND THEN RIP IT ALL UP, WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET IT DONE FOR SEVEN YEARS.

>> SURELY TALKING ABOUT OTHER ROADS BEFORE WE CAN GET STARTED.

>> YES. >> ALL RIGHT.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON TRANSPORTATION.

>> THERE IS A BULK AND 2029 TO WORK THROUGH.

>> 663 MILLION? >> GOOD LORD.

>> AND RAISE THE WASTEWATER BY WHAT DID YOU SAY?

25%? >> NOT A BIG DEAL, RIGHT?

I THINK OF COUNCIL AND 28 SO. >> NEXT ONE IS DRAINAGE AND D03, 2027. WE SHOULD REDUCE THAT AMOUNT IN 28 BUT THOSE DRAINAGE PROJECTS UNDERNEATH THAT WITH D05, D06, D07, DOWN TO D13 THOUGH SHOULD BE DONE IN SEQUENCE SO WE DO NOT DO THIS PIECE AND THEN SKIP OVER 2 MILES.

>> I GET IT. >> WE HAVE THE SAME 2-DOLLAR A MONTH FOR ENERGY THAN WHAT WE HAVE HAD SINCE 2017 AND HOW WE KNOCK OUT $2 MILLION A YEAR. IN THE CONTEXT OF $2 MILLION A

MONTH. >> EXACTLY.

>> WE ARE DONE WITH LEGENDS OF HUTTO.

I THINK THAT IS ALL I THINK THAT IS ALL BEHIND BECAUSE WE DID NOT DO 3 MILLION IN 2025 LEGENDS OF HUTTO WE JUST DID ONE ALLEY AND THAT I THINK 2026 IS THAT 3.6 MILLION?

BECAUSE WE DID NOT DO 3.6. >> I DON'T THINK SO.

>> CAN YOU GUYS CHECK THIS WITH WHAT WE DID LAST YEAR.

[03:10:01]

IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE YEARS OF MOVED BUT ALL THE INFORMATION

SAID THE SAME. >> THIS IS THE SPREADSHEET SET TOGETHER. THIS IS NOT OUR.

>> THAT IS NOT YOUR GUYS IS. >> NO.

>> OKAY. >> I THINK THE 2025 IS FURTHER DOWN PAST PART WITH THE KEY I'M NOT PRIVY TO WHAT YOU GUYS

RECEIVED. >> I MEAN WE'RE DOING IT.

>> IS THERE ANYTHING BEYOND THAT PAGE?

>> THERE IS A WHOLE OTHER CHART AFTER THE LEGEND.

>> SPREADSHEET. >> YES SO SMALL AND EVEN WITH MY GLASSES ON IT JUST LOOKS LIKE THE PICTURE.

>> RIGHT, THAT IS FROM 2025. >> IS THAT THE SPREADSHEET THAT

WOULD BE OUR MOST RECENT ONE UP? >> WHICH SPREADSHEET?

>> THE ONE AFTER THE LEGEND. >> THIS GIVES US WITH THE TAX RATE IS GOING TO BE WITH THE INCREASE TO THE TAX.

>> YES THAT LOOKS LIKE OURS YES. >> OKAY.

OH, MY GOSH. SO THAT IS DRAINAGE THAT BRINGS US TO WASTEWATER WONDER WHY WE RAISE TAXES ARE WATER BILLS.

>> SO ON THE WASTEWATER ONE WW 15 HOUR SUGGESTION IS TO MOVE TO 2027 IF POSSIBLE BEFORE THE IRON WOOD SITE CONSTRUCTION IS

COMPLETE. >> THAT IS THE WASTEWATER LINE RUNNING I BELIEVE I BELIEVE IT IS NORTH TO SOUTH.

I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT THE WASTEWATER MASTER PLAN MAP.

>> IT IS BEHIND IT IT IS ON THE WEST SIDE.

>> NOT A LOT OF PROJECTS IN 27 JUST A $30,000,000.1 ARE WE

STILL DOING THAT ONE, JAMES? >> WHICH ONE?

>> WW16. >> YEAH, SO WE DON'T SPEND MONEY

UPGRADING THE CENTRAL PLANT. >> WHAT IS WW37?

>> LIFT STATION RELIEF. >> I WOULD HAVE TO CONSULT THE MAP I DO NOT KNOW OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

>> I DO NOT KNOW THIS ONE. >> AND THEN WE HAVE 23 MILLION FOUR WASTEWATER PLANT PHASE TWO EXPANSION ALREADY HAVE THAT EXPENDED WE HAVE 22 AND 27 MILLION FOR EXPANSION ARE IS THAT WHAT WE ARE ALREADY IN THE MIDDLE?

>> WW 56. >> SORRY I'M JUST GOING DOWN THE

LINE. >> IS THAT ANY OF EXPANSION

AFTER WHAT WE ARE DOING NOW? >> THIS LOOKS TO ME LIKE IT IS ANOTHER EXPANSION BUT WE DO NOT NEED THAT.

>> JUST SAVE $227 MILLION. >> THERE RICO.

>> WE ARE MAKING -- THERE WE GO. >> WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS.

>> WHAT YOU NEED TO FOCUS ON IS WHAT CPAC IS SAYING THAT THEY CONSIDER PRIORITIZING TO MOVE INTO THE EXISTING CIP THAT WAS NOT ALREADY THERE AND THAT ULTIMATELY WE MOVE FORWARD IN TIME SO WHATEVER WAS IN LAST YEARS OF FIVE-YEAR CIP FOR YEAR

TWO AND NOW BECOMES THIS YEAR'S YEAR ONE.

AND THEN THE STUFF THAT IS ADDED SHOULD BE ADDING INTO YOUR FIVE WITH THE PLAN. SO IT IS ONLY STRATEGICALLY LIKE THE THINGS THAT TIMING WISE WE NEED TO GO AHEAD AND GET DONE BECAUSE SOMETHING HAS CHANGED OR WHAT HAVE YOU.

THAT THE COUNCIL REALLY NEEDS TO BE CONCERNING THEMSELVES ABOUT.

LIKE YOU SAID WE WILL COME BACK AND WORKSHOP ALL OF THIS.

SO DEMANDING WE RECEIVE THE INPUT FROM THE CPAC ABOUT WHAT THEY FELT WAS IMPORTANT WHAT THEY WANTED TO BE PAYING ATTENTION. SO YOU DO SAY THE FIVE-YEAR CIP TO HAVE THAT INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO YOU.

>> WHEN YOU GUYS THAT THAT'S WHAT WAS YOUR KIND OF LIKE OVERALL I GUESS DECIDING FACTOR? WERE YOU GUYS LOOKING AT THE LONG TERM FOR EACH OF THE DEPARTMENTS AND THE GROWTH OF THE CITY. HOW DID YOU GET YOUR

RECOMMENDATIONS? >> ONE OF THE DRIVING INSTRUMENTS WAS THE SURVEY THAT WE HAD JUST RECEIVED.

JUST GOT COMPLETED I WANT TO SAY IN DECEMBER.

SO THAT SURVEY HELPED DRIVE THE FACILITIES.

HOW CAN WE ACCOMMODATE FACILITIES MOVING FORWARD RATHER THAN BEING PUSHED OUT LET'S SAY TEN YEARS BECAUSE WE JUST CANNOT AFFORD IT? MAYBE A CONSOLIDATED FEASIBILITY STUDY COULD GET PEOPLE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING.

THAT WAS THE THOUGHT. SO THAT IS WHAT WE LOOKED AT ON THE FACILITY SIDE. ON THE ROAD SIDE WE TRIED TO LOOK AT HOW THE TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY 1660 SOUTH, WITH THE RAILROAD PROJECT, AND THE 199 PROJECT, BUT WE ALSO HAD THE 137 PROJECT, AND THE CARL STERN THE PROJECT AND IT IS LIKE HOLD ON HOLD ON. WE ARE GOING TO BASICALLY BOX THESE PEOPLE AND IF WE DO NOT SEQUENCE THESE RIGHT.

THAT IS WHEN WE WENT THROUGH AND WE SAID WHICH ONE MAKES LOGICAL SENSE TO DO AFTER THE RAILROAD. AFTER 199 AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. SO WE SEQUENCE OF THOSE OUT THAT WAY. ON THE ROAD.

I ALREADY TALKED ABOUT. >> YOU KNOW WHEN THE SOUTH IS A LOOP. THEN THAT GETS FINISHED.

THAT IS GOING TO CHANGE TRAFFIC SOMEWHAT SO THEN THAT ALONE MAY

CHANGE WHAT WE WANT TO DO. >> 1660, 79, THAT MEAN CHANGE TRAFFIC ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHOUT WE HAD A PROBLEM SOMEWHERE ELSE AND THAT ONE GOES AWAY. BECAUSE AGAIN EVERYBODY IS, WE ARE SO PACKED WITH TRAFFIC THAT PEOPLE WILL THEY DO IT AT.

>> YOU KNOW INNOVATION. >> THIS TIME LAST YEAR SPROUTS WAS NOT EVEN DONE A DEAL. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A SHOPPING AREA OVER THERE, BUT WE DO NOT REALLY HAVE GOOD ACCESS TO IT. WE SHOULD PROBABLY MOVE UP THAT INNOVATION PROJECT SO THAT PEOPLE CAN GET TO SPROUTS.

>> THAT JUST TAKE SOME MONEY. >> THAT WORKS AS WELL.

>> THAT IS KIND OF OUR RATIONALE, GOING THROUGH AND LOOKING AT SOME OF THE SEQUENCE ON THESE.

A LOT OF THE PROJECTS WE SAID YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS A NICE TO HAVE TIGHT PROJECT LET'S PUSH IT UP TO 2031.

NEXT YEAR MAYBE PUSH IT OUT TO 2032 ET CETERA.

>> SO I GUESS ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?

ABOUT THE RECOMMENDATIONS? >> NOPE.

>> WHAT IS THE STRATEGY GOING TO GO FORWARD TALK ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS. PUT THIS UP BY CATEGORIES?

MULTIPLE WORKSHOPS? >> WHAT DO YOU GUYS WANT TO DO WE DID A SUBCOMMITTEE LAST YEAR THAT BROUGHT RECOMMENDATIONS.

>> WE'VE DONE SATURDAY WORKSHOPS WE'VE DONE SUBCOMMITTEES, HAVE THE COMMITTEE GO BACK TO KIND OF SORT OF THE SATURDAY WORKSHOP.

>> I WOULD GO WITH THAT. >> YES.

>> SINCE CHARLES IS ABOUT TO POUNCE, WOULD YOU THREE DO THE

SUBCOMMITTEE? >> YES.

>> AND THEN YOU GUYS CAN GET WITH JAMES ON.

>> TIMING. >> WHEN YOU GUYS MEET

COORDINATING THAT. >> WOULD THAT BE A JOINT

WORKSHOP WITH CPAC THAN. >> I THINK THAT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE IT WOULD NOT SAY THE WHOLE BORDER BUT I WOULD SAY A COUPLE

[03:20:06]

PEOPLE. >> OKAY THE REASON I ASK IS WE ARE NECK DEEP IN THE UDC AS WELL.

>> YOU GUYS ARE WRAPPING THAT UP.

>> PLANNING ON DOING WORK SESSIONS AS WELL.

>> I THOUGHT YOU GUYS WERE DONE OVER THERE.

>> GUYS GOING TO HAVE TO BUCKLE DOWN AND READ.

>> CUTTING IT. >> SO WE WILL DO THAT.

GET THE TIME. GET THE CITY LITERATURE FOR A WORKSHOP. AND WE CAN INVITE COMMITTEE THERE AND THEN WE WILL HAVE A SATURDAY WORKSHOP.

WE JUST HAVE TO DO IT HERE PRETTY QUICK SO THAT WE CAN BUDGET AND ALBERTA CAN TELL US WITHOUT RAISING TAXES HOW MUCH

WE HAVE TO SPEND. >> EXACTLY RIGHT.

>> YOU GUYS CONTROL THE CHECKBOOK WE'RE JUST TRYING TO

GET THE SEQUENCE RIGHT. >> SOUND GOOD.

[12.3. Discussion and possible action on RFA# 2026-020-AB-02 regarding requirement of financial institutions having a main office or branch location within Hutto’s municipal boundary. (Mayor Snyder)]

>> THIS BRINGS 12-3 DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION NUMBE NUMBER 2026... REGARDING REQUIREMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS HAVING MAIN OFFICE OR BRANCH LOCATION WITHIN A MUNICIPAL BOUNDARIES. BRINGING THIS UP WOULD DISCUSS THIS I THINK ON A SATURDAY A YEAR OR TWO AGO.

HERE IS MY CONCERN AND WHAT I AM HOPING TO DO.

MY CONCERN IS WHEN WE DO A RFA FOR WHO IS DOING OUR BANKING WE ARE ONLY DOING BANKS BASED IN HUTTO.

YEAR BEFORE OR SHORTLY THEREAFTER WE DID WE DID ANOTHER ADD ON FOR THEIR CAR SERVICE. DOES THAT SOUND RIGHT? WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR IS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SERVICE OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS AND TO MEET WE SHOULD BE CASTING A WIDE NET WITH THE REQUIREMENTS THAT WE NEED WE NEED THIS WE NEED THAT.

AND THEN IF THE BANK WON A MILE OUTSIDE OF TOWN IT CAN PROVIDE ALL OF THAT AND HAS WHATEVER WE ARE LOOKING FOR, THEN WE SHOULD AT LEAST ENTERTAIN THAT TO USE AGAINST ONE OF THE FAKE REGIONALS LIKE THIS BANK OVER HERE CAN DO THIS, THIS, AND THIS. WE NEED YOU TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT MORE. WE DID WITH THE GOOD WITH WELLS FARGO LAST YEAR. SOME CONSTRUCTION THINGS THAT SAVE MONEY BUT THAT IS WHAT I AM HOPING FOR.

WHEN WE DO RFA OR RFP WHATEVER WE ARE CASTING THE WIDEST THAT POSSIBLE. THAT JAMES AND I TALKED ABOUT AND I WOULD SAY IN THE OLD DAYS THERE WAS A TIME WHEN THE LOCAL BANK HAD MORE MONEY OUT TO COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL BUT PERSONALLY I DO NOT SEE THAT AS A THING.

ALL WE HAVE IS HERE REALLY A COUPLE OTHER THAN AN A+ ALL WE HAVE HIS MAJOR FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS HERE.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE DEPOSIT A MILLION DOLLARS THAT WOULD SAVE LOCALLY. BUT I DO THINK WE HAVE BANK RELATIONSHIPS IN THE ALLIANCE. WE HAVE OUR BANK RIGHT NOW THERE IS POTENTIAL THERE THAT IS DEPOSITING MONEY TO THEM THAT COULD HELP OTHER PEOPLE THAT IS WHAT MY HOPE IS.

I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO IT BUT MY HOPE IS WE REVISE THIS A LITTLE BIT TO OPEN UP ALL BANKS WITH THE PARTICULAR REQUIREMENTS THAT WE NEED AND SEE WHAT THEY GET.

>> COOL. >> MIGHT BE MISSING SOMETHING

THAT WE TALKED ABOUT. >> YES.

>> CAN WE PUT AN ADDENDUM OUT. IF I PUT A MOTION TO MAKE AN ADDENDUM ON THIS CAN I MAKE IT TO WHERE I WANT THE ADDENDUM TO BE THAT WE OPEN IT UP TO ANYTHING THAT MEETS CAR SERVICE BLAH, BLAH, BLAH AND YOU GUYS AS STAFF FIGURE OF EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED AND IF THAT IS THE BANK A THOUSAND MILES AWAY THAT CAN PROVIDE THE SERVICE WE ARE LOOKING FOR HAVE A BETTER RATE

HOW WOULD I MAKE THAT MOTION? >> I ALMOST THINK YOU WOULD HAVE TO RESCIND THIS ENTIRELY AND REPOSTED.

BECAUSE YOU HAVE PEOPLE WHO WOULD HAVE ALREADY LOOKED AT IT AND DECIDED THEY ARE NOT GOING TO PURSUE IT SO YOU CAN'T REALLY SAY JUST ALL THE PEOPLE THAT LOOKED AT IT BEFORE SAID WE ARE

[03:25:01]

NOT GOING TO DO IT NOW PLEASE LOOK AT IT AGAIN.

SO I WOULD SAY IF YOU NEED IT TO BE OUTSIDE AND OPENED UP THE OUTSIDE THEN YOU ALL WOULD DIRECT STAFF TO BASICALLY CLOSE THIS, RESCIND IT, AND THEN REPOST THE NEW ONE AND START THE

PROCESS OVER. >> I WILL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CLOSE THIS RFA, RESCIND IT, AND POSTED WITH THE REVISION THAT IT BE OPEN TO ALL BANKS WITH THE REQUIREMENTS THAT WE NEEDED TO BE. SATISFY OUR NEEDS.

>> OKAY. >> DO YOU WANT TO PUT SOME KIND OF LIMIT YOU SAID A THOUSAND MILES AWAY BUT I WAS READING THE STAFF SAID THERE ARE SOME BENEFITS OF HAVING THIS AT LEAST SOMEWHAT CLOSE BECAUSE THEY CAN WITHDRAW PETTY CASH FOR UTILITY OPERATIONS, CONTINUITY OF OPERATIONS DRINK EMERGENCY LIKE DO YOU WANT TO PUT SOME KIND OF CIRCLE AROUND THAT OR LEAVE IT

AROUND ANYTHING? >> MY OPINION IS THAT SHOULD BE PART OF THE REQUIREMENTS LOOKING FOR WHOEVER CAN GIVE US A PETTY CASH BECAUSE I WILL TELL YOU THIS GREAT UNION FOR EXAMPLE THEY HAVE SOME KIND AND AT WORK ARE YOU CAN DEPOSIT MONEY IN A BANK IN ANOTHER STATE AND IT SHOWS UP IN YOUR ACCOUNT SO I DO NOT KNOW WHAT BANKS ARE DOING ANY MORE BUT I KNOW THERE IS' INABILITY WERE YOU THINK THE BANK IS CLOSE TO YOU BUT MAYBE

IT IS. >> I KNOW CREDIT UNIONS THEY ARE IN LIKE AN ALLIANCE SO YOU CAN DEPOSIT MONEY AND GO INTO YOUR

CREDIT UNION ACCOUNT. >> THAT IS WHAT I'M HOPING FOR WE JUST THROW IT OUT, THE REQUIREMENTS ON THE MARKET CONDITIONS. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION?

HEARING IT ON A CALL THE BOAT. >> SECOND.

-- CALLED THE VOTE. >> SECOND.

[12.4. Discussion and possible action regarding the funding of a sound study including measurements of existing and operating data centers, to include low-frequency tonal noise, dB(A) and other potential measurements of noise and vibrations. (Mayor Snyder)]

>> MOTION PAST THE 6-0. DISCUSSION POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE FUNDING OF THE SOUND STUDY.

DATA CENTERS TO INCLUDE BOTH FREQUENCY, TONAL NOISE AND OTHER POTENTIAL MEASUREMENTS OF NOISE AND VIBRATIONS I BRING THIS TOPIC TO THE CITY MANAGER THROUGH THE PLANNING AND THE ZONING COULD. IS A HUGE CONCERN AND I SHARE THAT SAME CONCERN I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO MEASURE.

I KNOW WE HAVE HAD EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE OF HOW OUR TREATMENT PLANT WORKS AND ALSO HOW THE RUSSIAN CREEK WORKS.

I KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING ISSUE AND JUST TRIED TO INCLUDE THE SOUND SO PEOPLE WOULD UNDERSTAND WHAT IT SEEMS LIKE THE BIGGER ISSUE ALL THE CITIES ARE OUT MEASURING BUT THEY ARE NOT MEASURING THE FREQUENCY TONAL NOISE WHICH I THINK IS THE STUFF THAT PEOPLE FROM THE WASTEWATER WERE HEARING.

THAT I COULD NOT HEAR. >> LIKE VIBRATION.

>> BASICALLY ANNOYS THAT A DOG CAN HEAR WHAT SOME PEOPLE SOME

PEOPLE CANNOT. >> AND WHAT IS THIS?

>> I TALKED TO A DATACENTRE PERSON I SAID LOOK, IF WE FUNDED THIS STUDY, CAN YOU HELP US IDENTIFY ONE THAT WE COULD BE ON THE PERIMETER OF I MEAN IF WE ARE WORKING WITH ANOTHER CITY TO DO THIS BUT DO A SOUND STUDY OF AN OPERATING DATACENTRE DO THEY GIVE OFF THIS NOISE WE DO NOT EVEN KNOW THAT.

AT THIS POINT ALL I AM HEARING GET SOMEBODY ON FACEBOOK POSTED AN ARTICLE BUT I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THAT IS TRUE.

SO MY THOUGHT WAS THE GUYS THEY TOOK A SOUND STUDY OF THE EXISTING CONDITIONS. WE TRY TO GET THAT FROM THEM BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW KNOW WHAT THE MEASUREMENT IS THAT WE GO AND SPEND THE MONEY TO THEN IDENTIFY WHAT IT IS AT AN EXISTING DATACENTRE AND MY HOPE WAS AFTER THAT WE COME BACK WITH ADJUSTMENT TO OUR SUP PROCESS. IF WE ALLOW YOU TO BUILD A DATACENTRE YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CLOSED LOOP.

RIGHT NOW YOU CAN'T HAVE ONE WITH 85 DBA ABOUT YOU CAN SAY YOU CAN'T HAVE MORE THAN X DBA, DBC IF YOU CANNOT DO THAT AND TO
