7.1. Consideration and possible action regarding possible appointments, re-appointments and/or removals to City Boards, Commissions, Task Forces, Economic Development Corporations, Local Government Corporations and Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Boards, and Area Government appointments.

[7.1. Consideration and possible action regarding possible appointments, re-appointments and/or removals to City Boards, Commissions, Task Forces, Economic Development Corporations, Local Government Corporations and Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Boards, and Area Government appointments.]

IT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. NEXT ITEM WE HAVE IS ITEM 7.1, CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING POSSIBLE APPOINTMENTS AND REAPPOINTMENTS TO ECONOMIC COMPONENT CORPORATIONS, AND TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT'S AND GOVERNMENT APPOINTMENTS.

I'LL START OFF BY MAKING A MOTION TO APPOINT JAY TRENT TO

THE LIBRARY ADVISORY BOARD. >> SECOND.

>> THE CHAIR: I BELIEVE THAT FEELS ONE VACANCY THAT'S IN SEA.

>> MAKE A MOTION FOR SEAT 4? >> THE CHAIR: ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? HEARING NONE, PLEASE CALL THE

BOAT. >> COUNCIL MEMBER THORTON?

>> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER KING?

AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER REYNOLDS.

>> THE CHAIR: THE MOTION PASSES 7-0, MAKE A MOTION TO APPOINT MISS CHRISTINE BENSON TO POSITION 4 LIBRARY ADVISORY

BOARD. >> SECOND.

>> MOTION BY -- SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER KING?

IS CALLED THE BOAT. >> COUNCIL MEMBER THORTON? COUNCILMEMBER ZEPEDA? MEMBER KING?

>> MOTION FAILS. >> I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION WE HAVE THREE

[00:15:11]

REAPPOINTMENTS. MIKE SNYDER, EVAN PORTERFIELD, AND JIM MORRIS AND ONE VACANCY, I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE CHARLES

WARDER. >> SECOND.

DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? >> WE ARE TALKING ABOUT REAPPOINTING THE EDC BOARD -- THE THREE MEMBERS ARE GOING TO BE ROLLING OFF BUT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE THAT UP, THERE HAS BEEN CONCERNS FROM THE PUBLIC ABOUT HAVING TOO MANY CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS SITTING ON THE BOARD WHICH CAN CAUSE SOME CONFLICT OF INTEREST WHEN MOTIONS ARE BEING APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL COMING OUT OF THE EDC BOARD.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE CONSIDERING THAT AND HOW WE CAN DO THAT BETTER, HOW WE CAN IMPROVE TRANSPARENCY AND GAIN PUBLIC TRUST THAT WE ARE FOLLOWING A SYSTEM OF TWO CHECKS AND BALANCES TO AVOID CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WHEN IT COMES TO VERY IMPORTANT TOPICS SUCH AS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND ALL OF THINGS THEY OVERSEE FOR THE CITY AND HOW INCREDIBLY IMPACTFUL IT IS.

I WOULD NOT SUPPORT REAPPOINTMENT OF THE THREE COUNCIL MEMBERS AS IT IS RIGHT NOW.

>> THERE'S A LOT OF BUZZWORDS THERE, I WANT TO DIG INTO A COUPLE OF THEM. WHEN YOU SAY CONFLICT OF INTEREST, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, CONFLICT OF INTEREST?

>> RIGHT NOW THE WAY IT'S MOVING IS THAT WE HAVE THE SAME THREE, COUNCIL MEMBERS MAKING BIG DECISIONS ON HOW WE SPEND MONEY AND TAX DOLLARS ON THE EDC CORPORATION FOR.

THEY HAVE A MAJORITY VOTE ON THAT BOARD AND WE AS COUNSEL, WE HAVE THE SAME FOUR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE THEN EITHER APPROVING OR NOT APPROVING THE EDC CORPORATION'S DECISION.

ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO TELL THE PUBLIC AS THOSE FOUR COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO HAVE ALREADY DECIDED WHAT THE DIRECTION IS GOING TO BE AS OPPOSED TO ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO VOTE AGAINST THEMSELVES OR AGAINST THEIR OWN DECISIONS? EVEN IF THE REST OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS DON'T AGREE ARE NOT IN ALIGNMENT WITH SOME PART OF THE MOTIONS, WE STILL DON'T HAVE A MAJORITY VOTE, THE MAJORITY VOTE FROM THE FOUR COUNCIL MEMBERS EXISTS ON BOTH CORPORATION AND CITY COUNCIL.

IT WOULD BE, IT WOULD HELP TO REMOVE SOME OF THAT SCRUTINY ABOUT WHETHER WE ARE REALLY HAVING TRANSPARENCY AND HAVING IMPACTFUL CONVERSATIONS AROUND THESE DECISIONS BY REDUCING THE NUMBER OF COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO ARE CURRENTLY ON AT THE EDC BOARD EVEN THOUGH WAS LEGALLY ALLOWED, DOESN'T MEAN THAT'S THE WAY WE HAVE TO STRUCTURE IT AS A CITY.

THAT'S WHAT I MEAN WHEN I WOULD SUGGEST I WOULD HOPE WE WOULD NOT CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THAT A NUMBER OF COUNCIL MEMBERS ALSO

SERVING ON THE BOARD. >> THE CHAIR: I DON'T MIND IF PEOPLE HAVE CONCERNS BUT WHAT BOTHERS ME IS WHEN WE THROW OUT "CONFLICT OF INTEREST." THAT'S TO GRAB PEOPLE'S YOU LOOE DEFINITION OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST AT THE SITUATION WHERE A PERSON IS IN A POSITION TO DRIVE PERSONAL BENEFIT FROM ACTION AND DECISIONS MADE AN OFFICIAL CAPACITY, I DON'T THINK ANYONE IS DOING IT FOR THE PERSONAL BENEFIT PICTURE WE THROW OUT THESE WORDS TO GET PEOPLE ENERGIZED AND WOUND UP IN THE PUBLIC WHEN WE OUGHT TO JUST SAY I WOULD LIKE MORE INPUTS, I WOULD LIKE SEVEN PEOPLE WHO HAVE INPUT BUT ONE WE THROW OUT "CONFLICT OF INTEREST." YOU'RE IN THE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND YOU JUST VOTED ON A MATTER FOR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND SOME PEOPLE WOULD SAY THAT'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST. I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU'RE GETTING PERSONAL BENEFIT. WHEN WE SAY THESE THINGS ABOUT ONE COUNCILMEMBER OR TWO OR THREE, IT'S ILLEGAL IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, THERE'S A REASON AS LEGAL.

WE CAN ASK WHY IS THAT LEGAL? IF YOU HAVE A BOARD OF SEVEN EDC MEMBERS MAKING SOME DECISIONS COME EVERY DECISION THEY MAKE, 100% HAS TO BE APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL.

THERE IS ZERO DECISIONS THAT CAN BE MADE, THEY CAN'T EVEN BUY A STAPLER WITHOUT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVING THAT TRANSACTION.

IN MY OPINION WHAT WE HAVE DONE IS STREAMLINE A LITTLE BIT OF THIS BECAUSE WHAT WE HAD BEFORE WAS WE HAD A BOARD THAT WAS DOING ONE THING THAT IT WOULD BRING THE THINGS TO CITY COUNCIL AND WE WOULD REJECT EVERYTHING THEY DID OR THEY WERE OUT WANTING TO BUY A BUILDING DOWNTOWN THEY HAD PERSONAL INTEREST AND THERE WAS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

THE CITY COUNCIL WAS AGAINST THAT SO WHAT WE HAVE DONE IS AS WE'VE MOVED ROAD PROJECTS AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS, IF EVERY DECISION IS GOING TO BE APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL,

[00:20:01]

ALL WE HAVE DONE IS MAKE SURE BOTH ENTITIES ARE EXTREMELY ALIGNED AND THE NEW LOOK AND SEE WHY WAS EDC FORMED? LIKE YOU SAID TRANSPARENCY -- CAN YOU THINK OF SOMETHING WE

ARE DOING IS NOT TRANSPARENT? >> HERE'S ANOTHER WAY TO LOOK AT IT PART OF THE ISSUE YOU'RE DESCRIBING GUSTO.

>> NOT INTERRUPT YOU BUT FROM A TRANSPARENCY STANDPOINT BUT WE THROW THESE WORDS THAT MAKE GREAT CLICKBAIT, WHAT ARE WE DOING THIS NOT TRANSPARENT? WE ARE HAVING PUBLIC MEETINGS WE ARE PUTTING AGENDAS OUT AS I UNDERSTAND CAN WE HAD ONE WE MESSED UP A DATE IN AND I THINK WE DID THE RIGHT THING WE POSTPONE THAT MEETING BUT THAT WAS A JOINT MEETING WHAT ARE WE DOING THIS NOT TRANSPARENT SINCE YOU ARE SAYING WE ARE NOT BEING

TRANSPARENT, WHAT ARE WE DOING? >> LET ME EXPLAIN IT THIS WAY PICK OF THE ISSUED YOU DESCRIBE THIS YOU WERE ONLY STREAMLINING, THE REASON THERE'S FOUR PEOPLE IS BECAUSE IT'S A WAY OF STREAMLINING. LOOK AT IT FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE UP THIS -- THAT THAT'S AN ISSUE OF COMMUNICATION AND POOR LEADERSHIP. NOT AN ISSUE OF THE FACT THAT MAY BE ONE GROUP IS GOING ONE WAY, THAT SYSTEMS AND PROBLEM ISSUE. WHAT YOU ARE DOING BY PUTTING FORTH PEOPLE IS YOU ARE REDUCING THE NUMBER OF INDEPENDENT DECISION-MAKING BODIES IN THESE BIG CONVERSATIONS.

>> THAT DOESN'T MEAN TRANSPARENCY MEDICINE IS NOT

TRANSPARENT. >> IF YOU DON'T WANT TO COLOR TRANSPARENCY THERE'S STILL AN ISSUE THERE BECAUSE YOU HAVE A PREDETERMINED VOTING BLOC THAT IS THEN EXPECTED TO TO TURN AROUND VOTE AGAINST SOMETHING THEY SPENT A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT GOING THROUGH ON THE EDC SIDE.

>> I APPRECIATE THAT, THAT IS A VALID CONCERN.

BUT YOU DIDN'T SAY THAT CAN BE SET CONFLICT OF INTEREST THAT WE

ARE PERSONALLY BENEFITING. >> I THINK THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST I MEANT THAT YOU VOTED AGAINST THE OWN FORTE THAT YOU

PUT FORTH. >> I HAVE A DIRECT, YOU MAY TWO POINTS. CONFLICT OF INTEREST WHICH IS PERSONAL BENEFIT, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT CONFLICT OF INTEREST MEANS OR YOU JUST SAYING THAT TO GET PEOPLE WOUND UP IN THE NEW SAY TRANSPARENCY WHEN I ASKED ABOUT TRANSPARENCY, YOU BROUGHT UP YOU WANT A BIGGER DECISION-MAKING PROCESS, I CAN UNDERSTAND THE ARGUMENTS. BUT I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT IS THE TRANSPARENCY ISSUE YOU SPEAK OF THAT YOU TALK ABOUT TO GET THE CLICKBAIT -- WHAT ARE WE NOT BEING TRANSPARENT ABOUT? SPEAK OF WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT TRANSPARENCY AND THESE BIG CONVERSATIONS THAT HAPPEN IN EXECUTIVE SESSION THAT WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IS A PUBLIC OR EVEN AS A COUNCIL WHAT INTEREST SOME OF THOSE DECISION-MAKERS ACTUALLY HAVE. WE MAY NEVER KNOW.

THERE IS OPPORTUNITY THERE TO STRENGTHEN HOW WE MAKE THOSE DECISIONS BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW. I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE AN ACCUSATION BUT WHAT I AM GOING TO SAY IS WE DON'T KNOW ALL THE PERSONAL INTEREST THAT MAY CAUSE CONFLICT WITH APPROVING OR NOT APPROVING BIG DEVELOPMENTS BUT IN ORDER TO CREATE A BROADER SAFETY NET IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST OF HOW WE ARE USING TAX DOLLARS IT WOULD BENEFIT THE CITY TO NOT HAVE SO MANY COUNCIL MEMBERS DETERMINING WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THE EDC BOARD AND DIRECTING THAT BOARD TO.

I WOULD SUGGEST WE NOT JUST REAPPOINT EVERYBODY BUT THAT WE TRY TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT ARE COUNCIL MEMBERS ALSO SERVING ON THE EDC BOARD. WHAT I MEANT BY CONFLICT OF INTEREST I SHOULD'VE CLARIFIED THAT A CONFLICT OF SELF-INTEREST WHERE YOU AGREED WITH YOUR TEAM ON THE EDC BOARD TO DO SOMETHING THEN YOU'RE GOING TO TURN AROUND OR TAKE IT BACK AND RESEND IT ON THE COUNCIL IS TAKING A VOTE? I HAVE ONLY BEEN HERE A SHORT TIME BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT HAPPEN YET AND I DON'T SEE ANY INCLINATION THAT WOULD HAPPEN AND I'VE BEEN HERE A VERY SHORT TIME WHERE SOMEBODY MAKES A DECISION IN THE TURNAROUND.

>> THE CHAIR: YOU'VE GOT TO PAY ATTENTION IT JUST HAPPENED.

COUNCILMEMBER THORTON VOTED AGAINST SOMETHING AS A BOARD MEMBER AND THEN HE TURNED AROUND AND VOTED FOR IT AS A COUNCILMEMBER I DON'T KNOW WHY HE DIDN'T COMMIT LITERALLY JUST

HAPPEN -- GO. >> HE VOTED NAY AND THEN HE

VOTED AYE AS A COUNCILMEMBER. >> NOT OF THE ONE WE WERE VOTING

ON. >> ON THE MATTER -- ARE SAYING IT DOESN'T HAPPEN UNTIL YOUR 10 MINUTES AGO.

>> I'M GLAD IT HAPPENED ON THIS ONE VOTE I THINK THERE IS AN ISSUE WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH HERE AS FAR AS HAVING A MAJORITY ON THE EDC ALSO A MAJORITY ON COUNCIL.

>> THE CHAIR: IT'S A FAIR ARGUMENT BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S NOT A CONFLICT OF INTEREST OR TRANSPARENCY, GUSTO.

>> CONFLICT OF INTEREST, ETHICS REVIEW BOARD, AND THE REVAMPING OF THE ETHICS REVIEW WHICH I WAS ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR IS STILL ONGOING. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THERE IS NO VIOLATION FOR CONFLICT OF INTEREST BY STATE STATUES AND OUR OWN ORDINANCE AND OUR ETHICS COMMISSION.

WE CAN ALL LOOK THAT UP, PROVE ME WRONG BUT NONE OF THAT HAS

[00:25:03]

OCCURRED BY THE STATUTE OF THE LAWS IN THE ORDINANCE.

TRANSPARENCY I DON'T THINK THE QUESTION WAS NEVER ANSWERED, WHERE WE NOT BEING TRANSPARENT? --

>> YOU'RE GOOD, KEEP GOING TO GO.

>> RIGHT NOW THE CITY OF HUTTO IS AT A CRITICAL JUNCTURE IN OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. THAT I'VE BEEN AWARE OF FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR, 14 MONTHS OR SO.

I'VE GONE TO EDC MEETINGS, FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

WHAT WAS BEING DONE OR NOT DONE IN THE PREVIOUS EDCS WAS ABY ABYSMAL. WE HAVE HUGE EMPLOYERS THAT ARE AT STAKE HERE. SOME OF THEM OVER THREE DIGIT NUMBERS OF EMPLOYEES AT JUST ONE BUSINESS.

CONFIDENTIALITY ISSUES ON A LOT OF THESE THINGS ARE HUGE.

BRINGING IN PEOPLE THAT WE REALLY DON'T KNOW -- I'M NOT SAYING ANY OF THE CANDIDATES HAVE APPLIED ARE NOT PROPER, NOT APPROPRIATE, I'VE REVIEWED THE ONES THAT ARE THE MOST RECENT ONES. I DON'T KNOW THESE PEOPLE EVEN IF YOU'RE TALKING WITH THEM, ARE THEY GOING TO HONOR THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF SOME OF THESE BUSINESSES? DIRECTOR CHENEY CAN SAY -- THESE THINGS GET OUT, THEY'RE GONE.

THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS, SOMETIMES CUMULATIVELY OVER A BILLION DOLLARS IN INVESTMENTS. I KNOW COUNCILMEMBER WARNER HAS BEEN APPOINTED FOR APPROXIMATELY FIVE MONTHS A LITTLE BIT FOR THE RUNOFF, SIX MONTHS ON THE COUNCIL -- HE HAS BEEN ON EDC EXECUTIVE SESSION AS A CITY COUNCILMEMBER.

WE ARE NOT TRYING TO GET SOMEONE UP RUNNING AT THE LAST MINUTE SOME OF THESE ARE CRITICAL DEALS THAT ARE OCCURRING AT THE NEXT 30 DAYS TO MAYBE SIX MONTHS TO 9 MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD TO.

I THINK HAVING PEOPLE THAT ARE ALREADY ON BOARD THAT OUR UNDERSTANDING WHAT'S GOING ON AND CRITICAL DECISION-MAKING PROCESS AT THIS CRITICAL TIME IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IS PARAMOUNT TO US CONTINUING THIS MOMENTUM THAT WE HAVE BEEN GATHERING FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR.

I AGREE, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MORE CITIZEN INPUT ON THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BOARD, BUT I DON'T THINK THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME FOR THAT IT'S TOO CRITICAL RIGHT NOW FOR ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE UP IN THE AIR, VENTING INDIVIDUALS ARE THEY GOING TO KEEP CONFIDENTIALITY WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO CONTRIBUTE? NONE OF THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE KNOWN TO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS DETERMINE EDC DOESN'T GO THROUGH THE NORMAL BOARDS AND COMMISSION PROCESS AS FAR AS NOMINATION BY POLICE.

THE WHOLE CITY COUNCIL COULD NOMINATE WHOEVER THEY WANT TO FOR EDC WHEN THE APPROPRIATE TIME COMES.

I'M ONE OF THE PERSONS THAT ARE INCUMBENT THAT WOULD BE CONTINUING ON EDC AND HAVING CHARLES WARNER, SOMEONE WHO IS QUITE AWARE OF ALL THE CONFIDENTIAL AGREEMENTS AND CONTRACTS THAT ARE GOING ON RIGHT NOW IS KEEPING US MOVING FORWARD. I THINK THESE ARE TWO YOUR TERMS. THAT'S IT, THANK YOU.

SPEAK I HAVE A QUESTION FOR COUNCILMEMBER ZEPEDA.

IN THE SPIRIT OF RESIDENT PARTICIPATION, IS IT THAT YOU WOULD PREFER IF THERE BE A MAJORITY OF RESIDENTS OVER A

MAJORITY OF COUNCIL ON THEIR? >> I DO.

>> IN THIS SITUATION IF IT'S NO LONGER COUNCILMEMBER WARNER BUT HE'S NOT A COUNCILMEMBER, THERE WOULD BE A MAJORITY THAT'S NOT COUNSEL IN THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION, IS THAT --

>> SAY THAT AGAIN? >> DAN THORTON IS ON THERE.

>> WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS WOULD RATHER HAVE A MAJORITY OF RESIDENTS RATHER THAN MAJORITY OF COUNCIL.

>> I WOULD RATHER HAVE A BETTER BALANCE -- I'M SORRY WE DONE

WITH HER QUESTION? >> I AGREE WITH YOU IN THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION HAVING A MAJORITY OF RESIDENT AS OPPOSED TO MAJORITY OF COUNSEL, IT SEEMS IT'S MORE RESIDENT PARTICIPATION AS OPPOSED TO JUST COUNSEL BEING THE MAJORITY OF THE BOARD OF.

>> JIM BROUGHT UP A GOOD POINT ABOUT HOW CRITICAL OUR EDC FUNCTION IS RIGHT NOW AND WE WANT TO LOOK AT -- THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ALLOW GREATER PARTICIPATION FROM NOUN COUNCIL MEMBERS -- PEOPLE WHO ARE QUALIFIED TO TALK ABOUT THESE THINGS AND HAVE SOME EXPERIENCE, IF WE JUST REAPPOINT THE SAME COUNCIL MEMBERS, IT'S GREAT TO HAVE THE EXPERIENCE THEY HAVE ON THE COUNCIL SIDE. THEY SHOULDN'T NECESSARILY ALSO HAVE TO BE ON THE EDC SITE IN ORDER TO MAKE THESE PROJECTS HAPPEN. BY REDUCING THE NUMBER OF SITTING COUNCIL MEMBERS ON THE EDC BOARD AS IT IS WE THEN ALLOW

[00:30:03]

OTHER QUALIFIED APPLICANTS TO APPLY AND FILL THOSE POSITIONS THAT CAN BRING FRESH PERSPECTIVES, DIFFERENT IDEAS, DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES AND HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO SO AND HAVE A SAY IN OUR CITY CONTINUES TO BE DEVELOPED ESPECIALLY BECAUSE WE ARE AT SUCH A CRITICAL JUNCTURE OF OUR CITY AND THAT IS ANOTHER REASON WHY IT WOULD BE WISE OF US TO NOT JUST REAPPOINT EVERYBODY BUT MAYBE EVEN REDUCE THE NUMBER OF SITTING COUNCIL MEMBERS SERVING ON THE EDC SO WE CAN HAVE ROOM TO ADD MORE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE RIGHT QUALIFICATIONS RATHER THAN JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE A COUNCILMEMBER THEY GET TO ALSO BE ON EDC.

I'M NOT GOING TO DISPARAGE ANYBODY'S PAST EXPERIENCE, BUT IF YOU LOOK REALLY CAREFULLY AT WHAT IT REQUIRES TO SIT AND MAKE THOSE DECISIONS, NOT EVERYBODY THAT IS ON COUNCIL OR ON EDC BOARD RIGHT NOW NECESSARILY HAS THOSE QUALIFICATIONS AND MAYBE THEY GAIN THEM BUT THEY DIDN'T NECESSARILY COME IN WITH THEM.

THAT'S ANOTHER REALLY IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION AND ANOTHER REASON I DO NOT SUPPORT REAPPOINTING THE THREE THAT ARE UP FOR

REAPPOINTMENT AT THIS POINT. >> THE CHAIR: PLEASE CALL THE

BOAT. >> COUNCILMEMBER KING?

>> AYE. >> MAYOR PRO TEM PORTERFIELD?

>> AYE. >> MAYOR SNYDER?

>> AYE. >> COUNCILMEMBER ZEPEDA?

>> NAY. >> COUNCILMEMBER MORRIS?

>> NAY. >> THE CHAIR: AS YOU SAID IT'S A CHEAP SHOT TO JUST SAY IT, THE HARD WORK IS FILING THE PAPERWORK WITH THE ETHICS COMMISSION, THE TEXAS ETHICS COMMISSION, THE ATTORNEY GENERAL DOING SOME WORK FROM ANYBODY CAN

JUST SAY IT. >> I DID WANT TO BRING UP ONE OTHER POINT, THESE ARE OPENINGS NOT NECESSARILY -- I DID PUT REAPPOINTMENTS ON HERE. ON THE D EIB, WE THREE POSITIONS OPEN AND THAT IS FOR NEW PROTOCOLS.

NEW PLACE ONE THROUGH SIX, DIB'S PLACE ONE, FOUR, AND A SIX, BUILDING STANDARDS IS TO GO, FOUR, SIX, THREE OPENINGS THERE.

ETHICS, TWO POSITIONS OPEN, HBC, LIBRARY ADVISORY BOARD WE JUST TOOK A VOTE AND YOU HAD FINISHED YET -- WE HAD PASSED THAT.

THE PARKS ADVISORY BOARD PLACED ONE END OF FOUR, THE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS ARE TWO, FOUR, AND A SIX AND POSSIBLY SEVEN AND WE HAVE THREE ALTERNATES THAT ARE OPEN AS W WELL. SIX OR SEVEN POSITIONS, JUST

LETTING PEOPLE KNOW. >> THE CHAIR: ANY OTHER

[7.2. Consideration and possible action regarding recommendations or updates from City Council sub-committees (i.e. HISD, CIP, Fire Safety). ]

POSITIONS WE NEED TO ADDRESS? ITEM 7.2, CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR UPDATES FOR THE CITY COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEES. I HAVE AN EMAIL HERE.

SNYDER AND PORTERFIELD NOW -- WE DIDN'T MEET.

THE ESD AND FIRE SAFETY IS THE SAME COMMITTEE -- WE DID MEET, WE HAD A MEETING PRIOR TO OUR BUDGET MEETING I APOLOGIZE TO STAFF, THAT WENT OVER AND WE WILL BE PRESENTING OPTIONS SEE TRAN COME I THINK IT WAS A VERY GOOD MEETING.

I THINK WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS, WE WILL SEE HOW THE BOATS TONIGHT GO AND HOW WE RESPOND TO THEM BUT THEY UNDERSTAND OUR CONCERN IT'S A MATTER OF HOW WE ADDRESS IT LONG-TERM TO MAKE SURE BOTH SIDES ARE TAKEN CARE OF.

ANYTHING YOU NEED TO ADD TO THAT?

>> WE WILL TALK ABOUT IT MORE LATER.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION, DO WE GET ANY MORE INFORMATION ON HOW THAT MEETING WENT? THAT WAS THE JULY 3RD MEETING -- I WOULD TALK ABOUT THE SATURDAY MEETING QUOTAS DOMESTIC?

>> WE ARE WORKING ON GETTING IT DOWNLOADED TO SHARE WITH

EVERYBODY. >> THAT ONE FROM THE THIRD AND

THEN SATURDAY. >> ON THE SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS DO WE NOT -- HAVE AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND ON THE SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS WE DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY ARE MEETING, WE DON'T KNOW THE AGENDA THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE POSTED BECAUSE IT'S A SMALL GROUP OR IT'S NOT QUORUM BUT WE AS COUNSEL, WHEN SHOULD WE BE

[00:35:02]

NOTIFIED THE SUBCOMMITTEES ARE MEETING AND WHAT IS A GOOD RECAP OF WHAT Y'ALL LEARNED DURING THAT WORK? FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THE PURPOSE THAT SUBCOMMITTEES TO TAKE THAT WORKLOAD AND DO IT IN THE SMALLER GROUPS TO GAIN INFORMATION AND BRING IT BACK TO THE REST OF THE COUNCIL -- MY QUESTION IS WHEN DO WE SEE THOSE RECAPS OR REPORTS AS COUNSEL ABOUT THE SUBCOMMITTEES ARE TALKING ABOUT AND WHAT THEY ARE GATHERING OR GAINING FROM THE TIME THEY ARE SPENDING AND SUBCOMMITTEE MEETINGS WITH YOUR SELVES OR WITH OUR PARTNERS THEY

ARE MEETING WITH? >> ITEM 7.2 EACH MEETING IS WHEN YOU GET THE UPDATE AND THIS PARTICULAR SUBGROUP, THE UPDATES WERE IN EXECUTIVE SESSION WHEN IT COMES TO NEGOTIATIONS WITH

CONTRACTS. >> THERE ARE NO REPORTS.

>> WE CAN'T NOTIFY WHEN WE ARE IN A MEETING BECAUSE WE START TO GET INTO QUORUM ISSUES. THREE OF US MEET AND BECOME BACK IN OUR MEETING AND WE TALK ABOUT IT, THE ISD WE HAVEN'T MET SINCE WE DECIDED AS NEEDED BUT I ANTICIPATE WITH ILA COMING UP IT EXPIRES THIS YEAR THAT WILL KICK UP.

>> THERE WAS TWO MEETINGS? WE STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN THE REPORTING FROM THE FIRST ONE AND THE ONE FROM SATURDAY, IS A FULL

REPORT THAT YOU JUST GAVE? >> THAT I THINK SHOULD BE GIVEN IN PUBLIC. SPEAK OF THE REST WILL BE GIVEN A DUMB ACT US IN EXECUTIVE SESSION?

>> YEAH, IT WAS A MEETING ON NEGOTIATING AGREEMENTS, SPEAK OF

ITS RESTRICTED BY LAW -- >> IT CAN BE.

>> THAT'S UNDERSTOOD. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE CLARITY AROUND WHAT SUBCOMMITTEES ARE TAKING WHEN YOU ARE MEETING WITH PARTNERS. I DON'T KNOW HOW WE NAVIGATE THAT BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO THE REST OF COUNSEL WHO IS NOT ON THE SPECIFIC SUBCOMMITTEES THAT ARE DOING REALLY IMPORTANT WORK HAVE MORE, MORE EYEBALLS IF YOU WOULD ON WHAT THE SUBCOMMITTEES ARE TAKING INTO THOSE UNPOSTED MEETINGS AND ALSO GETTING ON TIME TIMELY REPORT ON WHAT THE GAINING OF OUTCOMES WERE ABOUT THE TIME SPENT WHO THEY WERE MEETING WITH. SPEAK OF IS NO WRITTEN REPORT

BECAUSE OF CONFIDENTIALITY. >> WE DON'T HAVE TO PUT ANYTHING IN THERE IS NOT ALREADY LEGALLY ALLOWED --

>> IT'S A VERBAL UPDATE IN 7.2. >> WE MET SATURDAY, I'M TELLING YOU -- IF YOU WANT, WE CAN DO THE CONTRACT NEGOTIATION AND PUBLIC HERE, IT MAY BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE DEAL BUT THAT'S THE INFORMATION I CAN GIVE YOU WHICH IS EXECUTIVE SESSION. I UNDERSTAND YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION BUT WE ARE NOT IN EXECUTIVE SESSION AND SINCE THE MEETING WAS ABOUT NEGOTIATING AN AGREEMENT, TYPICALLY WE DO THOSE IN EXECUTIVE SESSION -- IF YOU GUYS WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT NOW? I DON'T MIND BECAUSE THEY POST EVERYTHING WE TALK ABOUT ONLINE

ANYWAY. >> I DON'T THINK IT'S GOOD NEGOTIATING STANDARDS, DOESN'T SET A PRECEDENT THAT PUTS US IN A BAD POSITION BECAUSE WE ARE UNVEILING OUR CARDS, SO TO SP SPEAK. IF WE ARE GOING TO TRY TO PROSPER OR CREATE A BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH ANY ENTITY OR WHATEVER, WE SHOULD BE NEGOTIATING IN GOOD FAITH.

LEAKING THIS OR LEAKING THAT DOESN'T FOSTER THAT AT ALL, IT'S

JUST THE OPPOSITE. >> I AGREE, WE DON'T HAVE TO -- I'M NOT ASKING FOR DIVULGING ANYTHING THAT WOULD HARM THE CITY OR THE OUTCOMES WE ARE PURSUING BUT WHAT WE WANT TO AVOID -- WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE, AGAIN THIS IS A NEW PROCESS FOR ME, THE SUBCOMMITTEES THAT THERE IS DECISIONS BEING MADE THAT HAVEN'T ALREADY BEEN SET FORTH AND THAT UNDUE INFLUENCE ISN'T HAPPENING DURING SUBCOMMITTEE MEETINGS WITHOUT THE CLEAR UNDERSTANDING AND CONSENT OF THE ENTIRE COUNCIL,

THE MAJORITY OF COUNSEL. >> THERE ARE NO DECISIONS BEING MADE TO. THOSE OBVIOUS IDEAS BEING PASSED AROUND BUT BOTH SIDES OBVIOUSLY ANYTHING WE DISCUSS AND WE REITERATE WHAT YOU HEAR IN THE AUDIO AT SOME POINT, WE SAY OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE -- WE ARE TAKING THIS BACK TO OUR BOARD TO. IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO ANOTHER TIME WE ARE ALL TALKING, WE DON'T MAKE DECISIONS WE DON'T HINT AT DECISIONS WE SAY WE CAN SEE THAT BEING AGREEABLE OR NOT AGREEABLE BUT ABSOLUTELY NO DECISIONS CAN BE MADE TO.

>> IT APPEARS TO HAVE COUNSEL SUPPORT.

>> WRITES. >> IF YOU LISTEN TO THE SOUND BITES OF TWO AND A HALF HOUR MEETING CUT UP AT A 10-SECOND BITES YOU GET A DIFFERENT IMPRESSION.

[00:40:02]

I THINK WE TRY TO TAKE THE HIGH ROAD AND NOT TRY TO SOUND BITE

DIFFERENT THINGS. >> AS MUCH AS I'M IN TECHNOLOGY, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET AUDIO OFF AN IPHONE, I'M WORKING ON

THAT. >> I WANT TO POINT OUT THE PROTOCOLS, THE MAYOR RECOMMENDS PEOPLE FOR SUBCOMMITTEE AND COUNCIL APPROVES, ITS PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION TO APPROVE THESE

TWO SUBCOMMITTEES. >> I ALWAYS PICK THE PEOPLE I GET ALONG WITH BECAUSE PETER AND I SERVED ON MORE THAN ONE SUBCOMMITTEE. COUNCILMEMBER THOMPSON AND I SERVED ON COMMITTEES, COMING IN HERE JUST LIKE COUNCILMEMBER REYNOLDS, COUNCILMEMBER KING WAS.

I THINK WHAT IT'S DONE, ALMOST LIKE EDC IS TO TRY TO GET A CONSENSUS BY TWO OR THREE PE PEOPLE.

WE HAVE AN OPTION C WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT, THE THREE OF US HAVE AN IDEA THAT WE KIND OF WORKED ON AND THAT IS TO SPEED IT UP AT ANY POINT IT CAN CHANGE BECAUSE WE CAN'T MAKE THE DECISION OF THE COUNCIL HAS TO MAKE THE DECISION WE ARE GOING TO TELL YOU ALL TODAY WHAT WE CAME UP WITH, YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO PUT IN WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO PUT IN AND BASED ON THAT, IT'S A LOT OF NUMBERS YOU NEED ONE MORE PERSON.

IF WE DID THIS INDIVIDUALLY NO ONE IS GOING TO LIKE THAT.

IF IT'S THREE PEOPLE NO ONE LIKES IT BECAUSE THEY POWER BLOCK. AT SOME POINT IN TIME, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO COMPLAIN NO MATTER WHAT WE DO AND IF WE GAVE OUT $10,000 PER PERSON AND A TAX REBATE, SOMEONE IS GOING TO COMPLAIN IT WASN'T 20. YOU PAVE A ROAD THEY HATE THEIR WEIGHT WAS PAVED, THE PAPER TWICE YOU WASTED YOUR TIME DOING IT ONCE, IF YOU DO IT ONCE THEY COMPLAIN TWICE.

ALL THE PROCESS IS GETTING INFORMATION, I HAVE A HISTORY OF YOU WANT THE VOTE NOW, WE WILL GIVE YOU EVERY SINGLE DETAIL, I DON'T CARE -- IT JUST DOESN'T BOTHER ME I DON'T REALLY LIKE SECRETS ANYWAY THAT I DON'T HAVE TO WORRIED ABOUT WHAT WAS SAID

IN EXEC AND WHAT WASN'T. >> YOU MADE A GOOD POINT RIGHT NOW ABOUT HOW THEY ARE FORMED. I LOOK TO THE WEBSITE AND LOOK AT SOME OF THE INFORMATION BUT WHERE IS THAT WRITTEN OUT, WHAT THE PURPOSE, ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES AT GUARD RAILS OFFERED SUBCOMMITTEES WERE I CAN REVIEW?

>> I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS GERMANE TO THIS THAT WOULD BE A PROTOCOL DISCUSSION, HERE WE ARE JUST WHAT TO BE GIVING UPDATES.

>> YOU CAN ASK THE CITY SECRETARY FOR THE MINUTES ON WHEN THE SUBCOMMITTEES WERE CREATED.

>> I'LL FOLLOW UP, YOU. >> WE ARE NOT MEETING ANYMORE WITH CO-OP ONE, THAT WAS TO RENEGOTIATE AN AGREEMENT.

>> THAT'S GOING TO GET DISSOLVED?

>> THAT WAS ME, COUNCILMEMBER THOMPSON AND COUNCILMEMBER GORDON. CIP IS COUNCILMEMBER MORRIS, WHO'S ON THE CIP ONE? KING, MORRIS, AND PORTERFIELD.

HAVE YOU GUYS MET, YOU HAVE AN UPDATE?

>> NOT YET. >> THE CHAIR: WE'LL GO ON TO THIRD ITEM OF THE NIGHT. IT'S ALL RIGHT I PLANNED FOR A

[7.3. Discussion and possible action regarding a request for Boards & Commissions training dollars for a member of the Planning & Zoning Commission. (Howard Koontz)]

3:00 MEETING I THINK WE ARE ON PACE.

DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING A REQUEST FOR BOARDS & COMMISSIONS TRAINING DOLLARS FOR A MEMBER OF THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION. FIRST TIME UP HERE WITH US I

THINK. >> I'VE BEEN HERE SEVERAL TIMES.

>> WAS I ASLEEP? [LAUGHTER]

HOW ARE YOU DOING? >> MY NAME IS HOWARD KOONTZ I'M THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES FOR THE RECORD WE HAVE A REQUEST FROM ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE PNZ COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND THE STATE PLANNING CONFERENCE IN IRVING OCTOBER 14TH THROUGH 16TH OF THIS YEAR.

THERE IS MONEY IN THE BUDGET FOR THIS, IT HAS HOWEVER INCUMBENT UPON THE MAYOR AND THE COUNCIL TO DISSEMINATE THOSE FUNDS FOR THIS PURPOSE. WE'VE COME FORWARD WITH THE ASK.

THE TOTAL IS IN YOUR PACKET, I WANT TO SAY IT WAS SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD -- I DON'T WANT TO FIT A WRONG NUMBER.

>> $1,238. >> THAT'S FOR REGISTRATION FOR THE CONFERENCE AND LODGING I DON'T BELIEVE THAT INCLUDES ANYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH PER DIEM OR MILEAGE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT THERE MIGHT BE SOME INCIDENTALS AFTER THE FACT.

THOSE TWO LINE ITEMS SPECIFICALLY REQUIRE YOUR

APPROVAL. >> CAN YOU TELL US MORE ABOUT

THE BENEFITS OF THE TRAINING? >> IT'S THE STATE CHAPTER OF THE AMERICAN PLANNING ASSOCIATION AND THIS IS ONE OF YOUR PLANNING COMMISSIONERS. WE GO ANNUALLY, MYSELF I HAVE

[00:45:04]

CERTIFICATIONS I NEED TO GET THE CREDITS TO KEEP THAT.

THIS IS MY ONE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT.

BUT THROUGHOUT THE COURSE ABOUT TWO AND A HALF DAYS THEY HAVE SESSIONS THAT TALK ABOUT NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND THEY TALK ABOUT THE EVER-CHANGING ENVIRONMENT IN THE STATE SPECIFICALLY WITH STATE LAWS AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES AS RELATED TO PLANNING. IT'S THE TYPE OF THING HE CAN COME BACK AND DISSEMINATE THAT INFORMATION TO OTHER COMMISSIONERS AND MAKE MORE TIMELY BEST MANAGEMENT PRAC

PRACTICES. >> OTHER MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION GOING BESIDES HERSELF AND MR. DELEON? SPEAK OF THE CITY PLANNER MANNY HERNANDEZ.

>> IS HE PAYING HIS OWN WAY? >> I ASKED THE OTHERS THAT THEY WERE INTERESTED IN ATTENDING A NUMBER OF TIMES, I HAD INTEREST FROM TWO, ONE OF THEM IS ACTUALLY NO LONGER ON THE PNZ, BRANDON WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO SOUGHT TO ATTEND.

MYSELF AND MY PLANNER WILL USE OUR TRAVEL AND TRAINING BUDGETS FROM THE CITY BUDGET TO PAY FOR THE TRIP TO GO UP THERE IN

OCTOBER. >> I SEE.

SPEAK OF THE BENEFIT AS HE WILL GATHER INFORMATION COME BACK AND

SHARE IT. >> THAT'S MY EXPECTATION, YES.

>> WHAT WOULD STOP YOU FROM GATHERING THE SAME INFORMATION

AND SHARING IT WITH THE BOARD? >> NOTHING.

>> MY ONLY CONCERN IS YOU GUYS HAPPEN ITEM SUMMARY THERE IS NO PROGRAM INFORMATION OTHER THAN A SCHEDULE, SPEAKERS AND PRESENTATIONS HAVE YET TO BE FINALIZED.

>> THEY ARE STILL CALLING FOR SESSIONS AND STILL WORKING OUT WHAT WILL BE PRESENTED AND WIN IN THE TIME FRAME.

WE DON'T HAVE A PROGRAM TO PROVIDE TO YOU OF WHAT WILL BE TALKED ABOUT, EVERY YEAR THERE IS A TRACK FOR ELECTED OFFICIALS AND BOARDS AND COMMISSION MEMBERS THEY CAN FOLLOW AND IT'S USUALLY LAWS THAT'S RELATED TO THE STATE OF TEXAS, OPEN MEETINGS REQUIREMENTS AND THEY TALK ABOUT PROCEDURALLY AND THEY TALK ABOUT LATEST TECHNOLOGIES, WHAT THEY CAN AND CAN'T DO.

>> I'M NOT NECESSARILY AGAINST IT, I HAVE CONCERN ABOUT -- THAT THIS IS A CREEP THAT ENDS UP HAPPENING WHERE WE HAD AT THE REAL BAD AND WE DO ALL THAT WEIGHT BACK AND MAY BE DEALT BACK TOO MUCH BUT ONE PERSON GOES, THEN PRETTY SOON TWO OR THREE PEOPLE WANT TO GO AS LONG AS WE'RE GETTING SOMETHING OUT OF IT THAT'S FINE, BUT THEN IF THEY GO, WE USED TO GO TO EDC AND WE WOULD GO TO LAS VEGAS FOR A CONFERENCE AND NO ONE WOULD GO TO THE SECOND DAY -- WHY ARE YOU GUYS EVEN HERE? YOU'RE NOT HERE TO DO THE WORK, YOU'RE JUST HERE TO SCREW AROUND. AS LONG AS WE KNOW WHAT TO GETTING SOMETHING OUT OF IT I DON'T NECESSARILY MIND, WE JUST NEED TO BE COGNIZANT THAT SHE LET ONE BOARD TO DO IT THERE'S A CONFERENCE IN SOME KIND OF DEAL FOR EVERY BOARD OUT THERE.

YOU CAN GO BANKRUPT WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT GROUPS BEFORE LONG WE ARE GOING TO HAVE REQUESTS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND I THINK SOME OF THEM ARE IMPORTANT AND SOME OF THEM ARE PROBABLY A WASTE OF TIME. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DIFFERENTIATE WHICH ONES WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE A PROGRAM OR

SCHEDULES OR ANYTHING READY YET. >> I HAVE THE SAME CONCERN MY EXPERIENCE ATTENDING MANY CONFERENCES FOR MANY DIFFERENT REASONS THE BETTER ORGANIZATIONS ALWAYS PUT INTO PLACE VERY CLEAR TEMPLATE FOR HOW THE REPORTING FROM EACH INDIVIDUAL -- OF THE ORGANIZATION PAID FOR THEM TO ATTEND A CONFERENCE, I WAS REQUIRED TO THEN COME BACK AND COMPLETE A VERY CLEAN AND REPORT ON WHAT I LEARNED AND WHAT I GAVE THIS TO THE BENEFIT OF HAVING ATTENDED WAS THEN PASSED ON TO THE REST OF MY TEAM AND THERE WAS A TEMPLATE THAT WAS GREATEST OF THOSE DOLLARS WEREN'T JUST SPENT ON SENDING ME AND MAYBE THE SECOND DAY I DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO WORK SESSIONS BUT IT WAS ON ME AS THE PERSON BEING PAID FOR TO GO AND CREATE THIS REPORT THAT WAS STANDARDIZED AND PASSED ON TO THE TEAM.

IT WAS A POSTING TO DISSEMINATE TO THEIR TEAM.

YOU SAID YOUR EXPECTATION AS THEY COME BACK AND TRAIN EVERYBODY ELSE, IS THAT SOMETHING WOULD CONSIDER, IS AT THE LINK YOU WOULD DO? CREATE A GUIDE TO SO WE KNOW BY SENDING THIS ONE PERSON THE BENEFITS, THE INTENDED BENEFITS THEY TRAIN EVERYBODY ELSE IS ACTUALLY BEING DONE IN A WAY THAT'S CLEAR, IT'S CONCISE AND MAY BE SOME OF IT CAN BE BAKED INTO HOW THEY PROCEED IN THE FUTURE WITH THE NEW KNOWLEDGE

AND TRAINING? >> I DON'T HAVE A FORMAL PROCESS I DON'T HAVE ANY TYPE OF PUBLISHED POLICY THAT I FOLLOW.

I DON'T BELIEVE HUTTO HAS ONE IN MY PROFESSIONAL PAST, I HAVE TAKEN THOSE LARGE GROUPS, I HAVE TAKEN PNZ COMMISSION MEMBERS AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS BECAUSE THEY BOTH MAKE DELIBERATIONS AND DECISIONS RELATED TO LAND USE QUESTIONS.

I'VE TAKEN THOSE LARGE GROUPS. WHILE WE WERE PRESENT AT THE CONFERENCE I ALWAYS HAD A RULE THAT SAID NO MORE THAN TWO PERSONS ATTEND THE SAME SESSION MAKING SURE WE HAVE DIVERSITY OF WHAT EDUCATION THEY WERE GETTING A PICK OF THE SECOND THING I WOULD DO DEPENDING ON THE NATURE OF SCHEDULES, IF EVERYBODY WAS

[00:50:02]

ON THE SAME BOARD I CAN PUT AN AGENDA ITEM FORWARD AND WE WOULD TALK ABOUT USUALLY UNDER THE DIRECTOR'S REPORT SESSION OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT. IF THERE WERE MULTIPLE BOARDS INVOLVED WE WOULD DO A LUNCH WORK AND WE WOULD BRING THESE FOLKS TOGETHER AND TO SAY WE GOT TOGETHER HAVING LUNCH TOGETHER, TELL EVERYBODY SOMETHING REALLY INTERESTING ABOUT WHAT YOU LEARNED OR GIVE US A SOURCE OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION UP SOMETHING THAT YOU LEARNED SO WE CAN RESEARCH THE SAME THING AND WE CAN ALL BE ON THE SAME BOARD. THAT'S NEVER BEEN COMPULSORY OR A RULE NEVER ANYTHING ANYONE HAD TO SIGN ON FOR AND AGREE TO, IT'S JUST SOMETHING I DO TO TRY TO MAKE MY DISCIPLINE RELEVANT TO EVERYBODY THAT PARTICIPATES WITH ME IN THE DISCIPLINE.

WE CAN PROBABLY TALK ABOUT DEVELOPING THAT PROGRAM AND MAKING THAT A REQUIREMENT OF FOLKS, BUT I HAVEN'T HAD THE NEED TO MAKE IT A REQUIREMENT YET BECAUSE I ALWAYS ASK FOLKS AND USUALLY WHEN THEY COME BACK THEY ARE PRETTY WELL ENERGIZED AND EXCITED ABOUT WHAT THEY HEARD AND THEY WANT TO TALK ABOUT THEM THAN THEY HAVE MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT IT.

IT'S AN EASY ASK. >> IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO CAPTURE THE END OF THE SESSION -- ALSO BECAUSE TO THE MAYOR'S POINT THERE'S GOING TO BE OTHER BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS THAT ARE GOING TO WANT THAT AND IF YOU SET THOSE STANDARDS UP THEN WE KNOW IT'S A BETTER INVESTMENT OF OUR DOLLARS AND SENDING PEOPLE, THE ONES THAT ARE GOING TO DO A GOOD JOB ARE GOING TO SELF NOMINATE AND THE ONES WHO ARE GOING TO BE LIKE I DON'T WANT TO PUT UP THAT EXTRA WORK THEY ARE GOING TO WANT TO SET UP THE MIKE STEP UP TO CONSIDER TO BE SENT.

IT INTRODUCES NEW STANDARDS AND GUARD RAILS.

I'M A BIG FAN OF TRAINING WE SHOULD ALWAYS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF AS MUCH TRAINING AS POSSIBLE BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE TIGHTENING UP OF GUARDRAILS ABOUT PAYING PEOPLE TO ATTEND THESE TRAI

TRAININGS. >> THE CHAIR: ANY OTHER DISCUSSION OR ACTION FOR THIS ITEM?

>> I WOULD TEND TO AGREE WITH WHAT COUNCILMEMBER ZEPEDA SAID TO. YOU WOULD LIKE TO TRUST THAT EVERYBODY WHO WANTS TO GO TO THESE TRAINING SESSIONS IS GOING TO BE A PERSON OF CHARACTER AND ACTUALLY GO AND GET SOMETHING OUT OF IT AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.

WE LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD AND SOME PEOPLE ARE GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT AND MAYBE GO OFF AND DO THEIR OWN THING -- I'M NOT SAYING ANYONE WILL OR WON'T, THIS DOES SET A PRECEDENT AND IF WE HAVE TO DO IT FOR ONE, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GO BACK AND ARGUE YOU DID IT FOR HIM HOW COME YOU CAN'T DO IT FOR ME.

THAT IS GOING TO GET THE BALL ROLLING.

ONE OF THE THINGS I DID HEAR YOU SAY EARLIER THE QUESTION THE MAYOR ASKED YOU IS IF YOU WENT, YOU CAN COME BACK AND BRIEF US JUST AS WELL AS MR. DE LEON COULD, YOU DIDN'T DISAGREE WITH THAT NOT THAT I HEARD. IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A LARGE DOLLAR AMOUNT TO ME IT'S MORE THE PRINCIPLE.

I'M ON THE FENCE ON THIS ONE. >> ANYTHING ELSE FROM ANYBODY?

[8.2. Annual Update from Williamson County & Cities Health District (Executive Director, WCCHD, Amber Erickson, DrPH, MPH)]

IF THERE'S NO OBJECTIONS, I WOULD LIKE TO BRING ITEM 8.2 NEXT, I HAVE A GUEST SHE'S PROBABLY SOON ENOUGH HUTTO

POLITICS. >> THAT YOU MAKE A DECISION ON

7.3? >> NO ACTION FOR NOW.

WE WILL MOVE ON TO WITHOUT OBJECTIONS -- ANNUAL UPDATE FROM WILLIAMSON COUNTY & CITIES HEALTH DISTRICT (EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WCCHD, AMBER ERICKSON)

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME, I AM VERY HAPPY TO BE HERE TODAY AND I'M VERY HAPPY THOUGH IT WAS LONGER THAN EXPECTED TO BE FOR THIS AGENDA ITEM, BUT I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO SIT HERE AS LONG AS NEEDED BECAUSE I AM VERY HAPPY AND EXCITED TO PRESENT THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE -- DO I HAVE THE REMOTE? BIG BUTTON -- I HAVE BEEN HERE IN MY POSITION FOR A YEAR.

I HAVE BEEN EXCITED TO GET TO KNOW THE AREA AND I'VE BEEN VERY MUCH ENJOYING IT I COME TO YOU FROM GEORGIA SO I AM ALSO TO TEXAS. I VERY MUCH ENJOY TEXAS.

THE CITY HEALTH DISTRICT HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE THE 1940S AND WE ARE YOUR LOCAL HEALTH AUTHORITY, WE HAVE THREE PUBLIC

[00:55:01]

HEALTH CENTERS, ONE IN ROUND ROCK, ONE IN CEDAR PARK, AND ONE IN TAYLOR. WE ALSO HAVE A COUPLE OFFICES IN THE CARVER CENTER IN GEORGETOWN AND WE HAVE -- WE ARE WORKING ON A MOBILE UNIT THAT WILL HOPEFULLY BE LIVE AND UP AND RUNNING IN 2027 WE ARE WORKING ON THE RFP PROCESS RIGHT NOW IS THAT WAS APPROVED FOR BUDGET IN APRIL.

TO MAKE SURE WE ARE GETTING THE RIGHT TYPE OF UNIT WE HOPE THAT RFP WILL GO OUT TO THE NEXT WEEK OR SO.

WE WILL BE USING THAT MOBILE UNITS TO OFFER A MOBILE VACCINE CLINIC, MOBILE OUTREACH, AND THAT SOME ACCESS TO CARE CLINICS IN THE AREAS THAT DON'T HAVE A PERMANENT LOCATION LIKE HUTTO.

WE ARE AN ACCREDITED AGENCY SO WE MEET FEDERAL STANDARDS AND WE ARE 1 OF 9 LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS THAT MEET THOSE STANDARDS. YOU ALL HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE ON OUR BOARD AS WELL AS REPRESENTATIVES FROM CEDAR PARK, GEORGETOWN, LIBERTY HE'LL COME ROUND ROCK, TAYLOR, AND THE COUNTY. FOR FUNDING WE GET OUR FUNDING FROM A MIX OF SOURCES, OUR LARGEST FUNDER IS FROM THE COUNTY AND ALL OF OUR MEMBER CITIES COMBINED ABOUT 10% OF OUR OVERALL BUDGET. WE ALSO RECEIVE FUNDS FROM THE STATE AND SOME FEDERAL MONEY PASS THROUGH, THROUGH THE STATE AND WE ALSO HAVE SOME GRANTS, SOME INCOME BUT THROUGH OUR ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH RESTAURANT INSPECTIONS AND A LITTLE BIT OF INCOME FROM OUR CLINICS AND OUR RESERVE FUNDS AS WELL FUNDS A FEW PROGRAMS. THE LAST YEAR I'VE BEEN HERE ONE OF OUR MAIN INITIATIVES HAD BEEN STRATEGIC PLANNING, WHERE WE GOING NEXT? CURRENT THREE YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN THIS YEAR, SO WE HAVE BEEN WORKING HEAVILY ON WHERE WE GOING FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. WE'VE WORKED WITH OUR BOARD ON UPDATING OUR MISSION AND VISION THAT YOU WILL SEE OUR STRATEGIC PLAN DRAWN FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. THE PREVIEW THESE ARE OUR TOP THREE PRIORITIES FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.

THE FIRST ONE IS WORKFORCE CAPACITY AND DEVELOPMENT.

WE CAN'T HAVE GREAT OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND OFFER GREAT SERVICES TO OUR COMMUNITY UNLESS WE HAVE A TRAINED WORKFORCE, THE PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE IS RATHER NEW IN WILLIAMSON COUNTY, OF THE 94 STAFF THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW, ABOUT 75% ARE NEW AS OF 2021. WE NEED A LOT OF TRAINING IN OUR STAFF. ON TOP OF THAT THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF CHANGES IN THOSE GOING TO BE A LOT OF CHANGES.

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF DATA CHANGES IN HOW WE FUNCTION AND THERE'S BEEN DATA IMPROVEMENTS AND THERE'S GOING TO BE EVEN MORE COMBATS OUR NUMBER ONE GOAL IS WORKFORCE CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT. OUR NEXT'S CHIEF HEALTH STRATEGIST, WE WANT TO BE A GREAT PARTNER NOT ONLY TO OUR RESIDENTS AND TO OUR GENERAL PARTNERSHIPS.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND MANAGEMENT PARTNERS LIKE FIRE, EMS, POLICE, HEALTH CARE, LIBRARIES, ALL OF THE PARTNERS YOU WOULD THINK IN THE COMMUNITY WE WANT TO BE THERE HEALTH CARE PARTNER. MAINTAINING PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE EXCELLENCE, MAINTAINING THAT ACCREDITATION STATUS, LOOKING FOR OTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR FUNDING.

WE HAVE REVAMPED OUR GRANT, THE WAY WE LOOK AT GRANTS IN THE WAY WE APPLY FOR GRANTS TO THE POINT WHERE IN THE LAST YEAR WE WENT FROM NOT APPLYING FOR MANY GRANTS TO OBTAINING ONE NEW ADDITIONAL GRANT AND APPLYING FOR ABOUT NINE GRANTS AND WE HAVE FOUR APPLICATIONS PENDING RIGHT NOW.

THAT'S ONE OF OUR MAIN GOALS, WE ALSO WANT THAT INNOVATION PIECE, MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE GETTING DATA OUT TO THE PUBLIC AND TO OUR PARTNERS ESPECIALLY THE CITY AND COUNTY MEMBERS SO WE ARE ACTIVELY OPENING UP NEW DATA DASHBOARDS AND MAKING SURE DATA

[01:00:06]

BECOMES MORE EASILY ACCESSIBLE. A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE SERVICES THE MAIN SERVICE EVERYONE THINKS ABOUT WITH PUBLIC HEALTH'S DISEASE PREVENTION OF COURSE WE DO IMMUNIZATION, WOMEN'S HEALTH VISITS AND OUR CASE MANAGEMENT -- I DO WANT TO MAKE ONE NOTE ABOUT TB IN THIS COUNTY.

OVERALL IN THIS COUNTRY IS INCREASING AND THAT DOES INCLUDE WILLIAMSON COUNTY. WILLIAMSON COUNTY IN 2025 SAW A 75% INCREASE WHICH THE NUMBERS ARE LOW, BUT IT DID INCREASE AND THAT IS CONCERNING. IT WASN'T ASSOCIATED WITH AN OUTBREAK IT WASN'T ASSOCIATED WITH ANY ONE DEMOGRAPHIC, IT WAS A NATURAL INCREASE OF DISEASE SIDE THAT IS WHAT IS SEEN ACROSS TEXAS. WE ARE EXPECTING THAT TO CONTINUE. OUR TB NURSES ARE FANTASTIC, OUR CLINIC IS WELL-TRAINED. WE HAVE AND AWARD-WINNING TB NURSE IN OUR CLINIC, SHE'S FANTASTIC AND WE ARE VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. BUT THAT IS SOMETHING WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IT STAYS WELL-FUNDED SO WE CAN KEEP UP WITH THOSE TB CASES. OF THOSE 2100 IMMUNIZATION SERVICES ABOUT 10% OF THOSE ARE FROM HUTTO RESIDENCE AND AS A REMINDER, SCHOOL IS ABOUT TO BE BACK IN SESSION SO WE CAN TAKE CARE OF YOUR BACK-TO-SCHOOL NEEDS FOR THOSE.

WE DO HAVE A FREE CHILDREN'S PROGRAM FOR ELIGIBLE CHILDREN IN TEXAS. FOR WOMEN INFANT AND CHILDREN SERVICES NUTRITION PROGRAM IT IS BREASTFEEDING MONTH, -- OR WEEK THIS WEEK AND THEY ARE HAVING A DRIVE-THROUGH EVENT AT ROUND ROCK LOCATION AND GIVING OUT SOME NUTRITION SUPPLIES AS WELL AS PROVIDING NUTRITION EDUCATION FOR MOMS AND PREGNANT WOMEN. AS YOU CAN SEE THESE NUMBERS HAVE BEEN INCREASING OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

THIS IS ASSOCIATED WITH SOME GROWTH IN THE COMMUNITY BUT ALSO INCREASE IN NEED. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WILL ALSO START SEEING IS ADDITIONAL INCREASE IN JULY OF THIS YEAR.

ACROSS THE STATE, ONE OF THE BARRIERS TO CARE FOR A LOT OF THE SERVICES WE PROVIDE AS TRANSPORTATION.

PEOPLE HAVE TO COME TO US FOR SERVICE AND WIC WAS ONE OF THOSE. NOW, WIC IS AN ELECTRONIC CARD THEY CAN GET THEIR SERVICES RENEWED ELECTRONICALLY INSTEAD OF HABIT COMING TO THE CLINIC TO HAVE THEM UPLOAD THOSE SERVICES.

NOW THEY ONLY HAVE TO COME INTO THE CLINIC EVERY QUARTER, I BELIEVE. OF COURSE IT'S A NEW SERVICE SO THERE HAVE BEEN SOME HICCUPS BUT MOST THINGS HAVE GONE SMOOTHLY AND THEY HAVE HAD AN INCREASE IN THE LAST MONTH.

WE WILL LIKELY SEE THOSE THINGS INCREASING.

THIS IS A NATIONAL PROGRAM AND IT RUNS VERY SMOOTHLY AND PROVIDES A LOT OF GREAT SERVICES TO THOSE MOMS AND BABIES.

THE NEXT SERVICE WE PROVIDE IS EMERGENCY PREPARING AND RESPONSE. THIS IS GOING TO BE INVESTIGATIONS, EMERGENCY PLANNING AND EXERCISES, AS AGAIN YOU CAN SEE MORE INCREASES HERE. THIS IS DISEASE REPORTED CONDITIONS, A SET OF CONDITIONS IN TEXAS AND NEVER SIT IN THE COUNTRY THAT ARE PORTABLE BY L LAW.

LABS FIND THEM AND PHYSICIANS DIAGNOSE THEM, THEY GET REPORTED TO PUBLIC HEALTH AND WE HAVE A GROUP OF EPIDEMIOLOGISTS THAT FOLLOW UP ON THEM. THE INCREASE YEAR ASSOCIATED SOMEWHAT WITH GROWTH BUT MOSTLY ASSOCIATE WITH INCREASE IN VACCINE PREVENTABLE DISEASES AND HEALTH CARE ACQUIRED INFECTIONS.

MAIN INCREASE IN THIS AREA AS WELL AS TEXAS, SOME THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON RIGHT NOW IS CYCLIST PA -- THE DIARRHEA ILLNS NOW. IT ISN'T AS BIG AS A NATIONAL OUTBREAK THAT'S GOING ON BUT WE DO HAVE A SMALL INCREASE, HALF OF OUR CASES ARE RELATED TO TRAVEL, THE OTHER ARE PROBABLY RELATED TO FOOD THAT'S RELATED TO THE OUTBREAK WE ARE WAITING FOR THE DATA COME IN AND THE POINT SOURCE HAS NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED YET. IT IS SMALL NUMBERS, LESS THAN 30 I BELIEVE, AND INCREASE MORE THAN WHAT WE NORMALLY SEE.

[01:05:03]

UNDER THE FIG WE HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY WORKING ON IS MAKING SURE HEALTH CARE PARTNERS AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE PARTNERS KNOW WHAT TO DO IN CASE AN EBOLA CASE COMES IN.

ANYONE THAT'S TRAVELING FROM UGANDA OR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO COMING INTO THE COUNTRY HAS TO BE TRACKED DURING THEIR INCUBATION. MAC FOR EBOLA BECAUSE IF THERE IS AN OUTBREAK GOING ON. THE PEOPLE THAT DO THAT TRACKING ARE EPIDEMIOLOGISTS. WE HAVE BEEN DOING FAT AND WE ALSO HAD BEEN TRAINING OUR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PARTNERS ON WHAT TO DO IN CASE ANY OF THOSE VERY LOW RISK INDIVIDUALS BECOME SYMPTOMATIC. THAT HAS BEEN GOING VERY WELL.

ONE OF OUR MOST IDENTIFIABLE THINGS MOST PEOPLE IF YOU LIVE IN THIS AREA HAVE INTERACTED WITH US FOR HIS FOOD INSPECTIONS AND VECTOR SURVEILLANCE. WE DO ALL OF THE FOOD PERMITTING IN THE AREA AND INSPECTIONS AND BECAUSE OF ALL THE GROWTH IN THE AREA WE ARE HIGHER RATING ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH STAFF.

WE JUST HIRED ONE PERSON SO WE HAVE ONE MORE POSITION TO FILL.

IF YOU WANT TO COME INSPECT RESTAURANTS, WE ARE NOW HIRING.

FOR MOSQUITOES THAT IS A HOT TOPIC RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WE HAVE FOUND SOME POSITIVE WEST NILE MOSQUITO POOLS, SEVEN MOSQUITO POOLS HAVE BEEN FOUND POSITIVE IN HUTTO.

DEFINITELY WHERE MOSQUITO PREVENTION, BUG SPRAY WHEN YOU ARE OUTSIDE ESPECIALLY IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS AND THE EVENING AS THAT IS WHEN MOSQUITOES ARE MOST ACTIVE.

-- I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE THINGS THEY ARE ONE BIG CHANGES WITH THE LAWS THAT HAS AFFECTED WHAT WE ARE DOING WITH RESTAURANT INSPECTIONS AS MOBILE FOOD VENDING LAW.

THERE WAS A CHANGE IN JULY WITH MOBILE VENDING LAWS.

WE ARE NO LONGER THE PERMITTING ENTITY FOR MOBILE FOOD VENDORS, THE STATE IS. THERE IS A STATEWIDE PERMIT NOW BUT WE HAVE SIGNED A CONTRACT WITH THEM AND SO WE ARE THERE INSPECTOR FOR WILLIAMSON COUNTY. IF ANY INSPECTIONS ARE NEEDED IF THERE IS A FOOD COMPLAINT FOR A MOBILE UNIT, THAT COMES IN, WE ARE INSPECTING THEM. I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU ALL KNEW THAT AND THAT THE WILLIAMSON COUNTY STILL BEING TAKEN CARE OF. I DID A THAT WE HAVE IS OUR NAVIGATION PROGRAM. THIS PROGRAM WAS DEVELOPED FOR OUR INDIGENT CARE PROGRAM THAT THE COUNTY IMPLEMENTS AS WELL AS THE CANCER SCREENING PROGRAM BUT THE GRANT THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER THAT WE GOT WAS OUR BENEFITS GRANT, THAT MADE IT SO THAT WE CAN NOW ENROLL PEOPLE INTO MEDICARE, MEDICAID AND SNAP. IF ANYONE NEEDS IN OUR POPULATION HELP NAVIGATING ANY ENROLLMENT PROGRAM THEY CAN CALL US AND GET HELP. IF THEY AREN'T SURE IF THEY ARE ELIGIBLE THEY CAN STILL CALL US BECAUSE IF THEY AREN'T ELIGIBLE WE HAVE OTHER PROGRAMS WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH WE CAN HELP THEM GET IN TOUCH WITH. WE HAVE FOUND FOR MEDICARE SAVINGS PROGRAMS FOR OLDER ADULTS THERE'S ABOUT 9600 ELIGIBLE OLDER ADULTS THAT HAVEN'T ENROLLED IN WILLIAMSON COUNTY AND WHEN WE TALK TO PEOPLE, WHEN THE STAFF GO AND TALK TO PEOPLE THAT ARE ELIGIBLE, THEY HAVE NO IDEA THOSE PROGRAMS EXIST. THERE'S ABOUT 10,000 PEOPLE, OLDER ADULT POPULATION ACCOUNTING THAT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR SNAP THAT AREN'T AWARE. EVEN IF PEOPLE DON'T THINK THEY ARE ELIGIBLE THEY CAN CONTACT US AND WE WILL HELP THEM NAVIGATE THAT PROGRAM. WE DO A LOT OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH, THIS DOES SAY 138 OFFENSE BUT I HAVE FOUND THAT DOCUMENTATION DIDN'T HAPPEN SOMETIMES LAST YEAR.

THIS IS PROBABLY HIGHER. IN HUTTO, WE'VE DONE A LOT OF EVENTS WITH THE CITY AS WELL AS SOME BUSINESSES AND SOME HOAS EVEN. STAFF HAVE GONE OUT AND TALK TO THEM ABOUT A VARIETY OF THINGS THAT WE DO.

WE HAVE INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF OUTREACH EVENTS WE HAVE DONE OF LAST YEAR THAT I'VE BEEN HERE TO MAKE SURE WE ARE GETTING THE WORD OUT ABOUT THE SERVICES THAT WE PROVIDE ESPECIALLY THE CELLSE

[01:10:04]

ELIGIBILITY PROGRAM WE HAVE. THIS IS A COALITION OF PARTNERS AND RESIDENTS ACROSS THIS CO COUNTY, IT'S OVER 90 PARTNERS AND RESIDENTS WHO HAVE COME TOGETHER TO IDENTIFY THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COUNTY AND WHAT ACTIONS NEED TO BE TAKEN.

THERE ARE THREE ACTION GROUPS THAT ARE LEADING THE CAUSE, ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE, CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION FOCUSED MAINLY ON FOOD NEEDS THAT ARE LINKED TO CHRONIC DISEASES AND MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. IF YOU USE THAT QR CODE THAT WILL TAKE YOU TO ASSIGN THE PAGE YOU CAN SIGN UP FOR THE ACTION GROUPS THEMSELVES OR JUST THE NEWSLETTER AND WE WELCOME ANYONE TO JOIN THOSE GROUPS. IF YOU AREN'T SURE AND WANT MORE INFORMATION LET ME KNOW AND I WILL GET YOU THAT INFORMATION.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE GETTING THE WORD OUT ABOUT WHAT WE DO AND WHO WE ARE SO WE HAVE STARTED A PODCAST, IT'S CALLED "PUBLIC HEALTH IS." WE HAVE 45 MINUTE EPISODES THAT GO OVER OUR PROGRAMS WITH ALL OF OUR DIRECTORS AND WE HAVE ALSO STARTED SHORTER PUBLIC HEALTH IN THE NEWS EPISODES THAT ARE TEND TO MAKE A 50 MINUTE EPISODES. IF YOU WANTED TO KNOW CYCLOSPORIASIS, WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING OR ABOUT THE MOBILE UNIT AND WHAT THAT LAW CHANGE WAS, THOSE SHORT EPISODES WILL GIVE YOU FACTS ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING WITHOUT HAVING TO RELY ON THE NEWS. AND STRAIGHT FROM THE PUBLIC HEALTH SOURCE. YOU CAN GET THAT INFORMATION.

WE ARE STARTING SEASON 2 IN THE FALL AND THAT WILL BE -- RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST VOICE BUT IN THE FALL, SEASON 2 WILL BE VIDEO AS WELL. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME, ANY QUESTIONS? SPEWING QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS

FOR COUNSEL? >> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION I APPRECIATE THE WORK Y'ALL DO.

QUESTIONS ABOUT COMMUNICABLE DISEASES IN GENERAL.

DOES THIS SIDE OF THE COUNTY PROVIDE HEAT MAPS OR UPDATES? I JUST CLICKED ON THE NEWSLETTER FROM THE QR CODE BUT IS THERE ANY WAY TO BE ON SOME TYPE OF PUSH NOTIFICATION, SOMETHING

LIKE THAT? >> IF YOU GO TO OUR WEBSITE, I WILL SEND IT THROUGH OUR BOARD OF HEALTH MEMBER AND SHE CAN GET IT TO YOU ALL. WE HAVE STARTED A HEALTH ALERT SYSTEM. IF THERE'S ANYTHING OF CONCERN A MEDICAL DIRECTOR OR I HAVE DECIDED THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WAS NEEDED TO. PUSHING OUT A NOTE BIBLE DISEASE DASHBOARD. RIGHT NOW THE WEBSITE, WE HOPE MOSQUITO DASHBOARD PROVIDED MORE INFORMATION ABOUT OTHER DISEASES, WE ARE HOPING THAT WILL BE AT THE END OF THE MONTH, AT LEAST THAT'S THE CONVERSATION I HAD YESTERDAY.

>> THE OTHER THING IS I'M SURE THIS ALREADY EXIST BUT IF YOU HAVE SOME TYPE OF OUTBREAK, COMMUNICABLE DISEASES SPECIFICALLY WHETHER IT'S MOSQUITO BORN OR VIRAL OR AIRBORNE. WORKING WITH THE COUNTY OR THE CITIES, SCHOOL DISTRICTS, ESD PEOPLE, BUT TRADE SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES OUTSIDE OF THE SCHOOL, WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE?

THAT IS A BIG TASK. >> IT CAN BE.

I SPENT MY 20 YEAR CAREER AS AN EPIDEMIOLOGIST, I'M VERY VERSED IN IT TO. IT CAN BE A BIG TASK AND LUCKILY THE EPIDEMIOLOGISTS IN THIS HEALTH DISTRICT ARE FANTASTIC AND WE HAVE REALLY GREAT PARTNERS WITH THE OFFICE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COME ALL THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, EVEN HUTTO'S EMERGENCY MANAGER, I KNOW THEY ARE NEW, BUT ALREADY MET WITH THEM AND START BUILDING THAT RAPPORT.

THE PREVIOUS ONE IS NOT WITH THE COUNTY, BUT WHEN SOMETHING IS REPORTED TO US THEY FOLLOW UP WITH A POSITION FIRST AND IF IT'S NECESSARY SOMETIMES IT'S NOT -- THEY WILL FOLLOW UP WITH A PATIENT TO DO AN INTERVIEW. IF AN OUTBREAK IS IDENTIFIED, LET'S SAY AT A SCHOOL LET'S USE A HIGH SCHOOL FOR AN EXAMPLE.

[01:15:04]

THEY WILL CALL THE PRINCIPAL OR THE SCHOOL BOARD DEPENDING ON WHAT THAT PARTNERSHIP HAS IDENTIFIED AS WITH THE PROTOCOL IS. THEY WILL WORK WITH THAT SCHOOL

OR THAT SCHOOL DISTRICT -- GO. >> SO THIS PLANS IN PLACE.

>> LOTS OF PLANS IN PLACE, LOTS OF PREPLANNING EXISTS, LOTS OF CONVERSATIONS HAPPEN ALL THE TIME.

>> THAT'S WHAT I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT IT'S NOT SO MUCH THE DETAILS BUT YOU ARE THERE, WE ARE WORKING ON THEM.

THE TB INCREASES A LITTLE DISTURBING I WASN'T AWARE OF

THAT. >> YEAH.

SPEAKER YOU SAID YOU DID HAVE HEAT MAPS ON THESE THINGS?

>> THEY ARE COMING. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> THE CHAIR: ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU GUYS DO, I APPRECIATE THE INVOLVEMENT IN WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT WE JUST HAD A TALK ABOUT THAT UPSTAIRS.

LOT OF MONEY GETTING SPENT ALL OF THE PLACE FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, AND IT'S SAD -- I'M GLAD YOU GUYS ARE A PART OF THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN PROGRAM AND HOW YOU DO THAT IT'S SAD TO SEE HIM AS A DOUBLE-DIGIT INCREASE EACH YEAR BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS GROWING SO GREAT AND THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE BENEFITING, BUT WHEN I SEE GRAPHS LIKE THAT, I SEE SOME OF THE DECISIONS BEING MADE BY CITIES AND COUNTIES, MAKING DECISIONS IT'S HELPING WITH SOME BUT LEANING MORE AND MORE BEHIND EVERY YEAR.

THAT NUMBER IF WE ARE DOING IT RIGHT IT SHOULD BE COMING DOWN, THANKFULLY THERE IS SOMETHING NEW TO HELP WITH THAT.

THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU GUYS DO. >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

[8.1. Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) Updates and Presentations (Kate Moriarty)]

>> THE CHAIR: THAT BRINGS US TO ITEM 8.1, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS (CIP) UPDATES AND PRESENTATIONS ALL BACK ON SCHEDULE AND UNDER BUDGET AHEAD OF SCHEDULE?

>> WORKING ON IT. >> THE CHAIR: THERE'S A CHA

CHANCE. >> GOOD EVENING, KATE MORIARTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTERED OF SERVICES BUT WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS I BELIEVE FOR TWO NEWER COUNCIL MEMBERS THIS IS SECOND PRESENTATION YOU HAVE HAD THEM I THINK YOU UNDERSTAND THE CADENCE AS WE GO, ASK QUESTIONS PLEASE AND I WILL SEE WHAT I CAN GET ANSWERED FOR YOU.

OFF THE BATS, UNFORTUNATELY I DO NOT HAVE GREAT NEWS ON THIS.

WE GOT COMMUNICATION FROM OUR DESIGN CONSULTANT TODAY AFTER A DISCUSSION WITH -- YOU WILL SEE ON THE SIDE THAT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR AGREEMENT FINALIZATION TO ENSURE THE LETTING DATE IN FEBRUARY CAN CONTINUE AS WE HAVE ATTENDED THE LAST FEW MONTHS AND NOW IT'S LOOKING LIKE THE CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENTS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED TO BE COMPLETE UNTIL APRIL. THERE'S A FEW DIFFERENT OPTIONS WE ARE GOING TO DISCUSS WITH TEXDOT TO THE MEETING BUT THERE IS AN OPTION IT SEEMS TO PROVIDE THE LOWEST RISK IN TERMS OF THE CONTRACTOR NOT STARTING AND STOPPING AND THAT PROBABLY LOOKS LIKE NOT GOING OUT TO BID UNTIL LATER IN THE SPRING.

ONES HAVE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THAT, THAT WILL GET SHARED OUT TO. WHERE WE ARE WITH THIS.

>> IT'S A ROAD THAT GOES RIGHT BEFORE THAT, IT COMES FROM THAT SIDE OF FRONT STREET? THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED HERE IS THAT SOMETHING IT'S GOING TO COME UP AS FAR AS THE TRAFFIC? THEY HAVE A STOP SIGN, I GO THERE EVERY DAY THERE'S ALWAYS A NEAR MISS OF PEOPLE -- THEY'VE BEEN WAITING AND WANT TO CUT

INTO THE TRAFFIC. >> I CAN FOLLOW UP WITH YOU UNLESS THE CITY MANAGER HAS THE BIG OFFER.

>> THE INTERSECTION YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS WHAT HAS CAUSED THIS PROJECT TO DELAY, BECAUSE WE HAD ORIGINALLY ASKED FOR PERMISSION TO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL RED LIGHT AT THAT INTERSECTION AND TEXDOT SAID NO. WE MOVE FORWARD WITH DESIGN, IN THE REVIEW THEY SAID YOU NEED A RED LIGHT THERE.

THEN WE HAD TO REENGAGE AND WORK WITH THEM WHENEVER YOU CHANGE YOUR PLANS, THAT IS WHAT HAS CAUSED THE REDO.

WHENEVER THIS IS DONE, IT WILL HAVE THE INTERSECTION AT 79, IT WILL HAVE A RED LIGHT IMPROVEMENT AT FRONT STREET AT 1660 SOUTH INCLUDED IN THE SAME PROJECT.

>> RED LIGHT -- WILL STILL MAKE IT SAFER AND PEOPLES WILL BE

[01:20:03]

ABLE TO GO BUT PEOPLE TRY TO GET OUT --

>> RIGHT NOW PEOPLE AREN'T ABLE TO PULL OUT WHEN THE TRAFFIC IS QUEUED UP. THIS WILL ALLOW TWO LINKS TO BE QUEUED UP IF YOU ARE TURNING RIGHT YOU CAN PASS THROUGH AND JUST TURN IT IF YOU'RE GOING LEFT YOU WILL BE ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE. RED LIGHTS WILL BE SYNCHRONIZED TO WHERE THE SITE TRAFFIC WILL BE ABLE TO FLOW INTO THE

INTERSECTION ALSO MUSCLE. >> THAT'S A GOOD UPDATE,

THANK YOU. >> WE ARE EXPECTING THE FIRST PART OF THE REDESIGN SHEETS, THIS WAS GARVER REDESIGNING PARTS OF THE PLANS DO NOT INCLUDE THE TENSION WE ARE EXPECTING THOSE TOMORROW WITH ANTICIPATION THAT CAPITAL EXPECTATION IS BACK TO WORK FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.

WE HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY COORDINATING WITH H ISD TO ENSURE THE STUDENTS HAVE SAFE ACCESS AT WALKWAY TO THE SCHOOL.

WE ARE ANTICIPATING HAVING SIDEWALK -- IT'S GOING TO BE DECOMPOSED GRANITE THAT WILL BE ALONG 1:30 SEVEN TO REPLACE THE SIDEWALK THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY THERE.

WE ARE IN ACTIVE COORDINATION WITH THEM.

THIS IS SO CLOSE TO CLOSE OUT, IT IS NOT FINALLY COMPLETE.

STAFF DID HAVE A SCHEDULED MEETING WITH THE CONTRACTOR TODAY AND WE WERE NOT ABLE TO COMPLETE SAID MEETING BECAUSE THERE ARE LEGAL WAS PRESENT AND OURS WAS NOT.

THE LEGAL TEAMS ARE GOING TO COORDINATE FROM HERE ON OUT AND HOPEFULLY THERE IS A RESOLUTION ON WHAT IS OUTSTANDING ON THE PROJECT VERY SOON. TONIGHT YOU HAVE A CHANGE ORDER PACKAGE PENDING YOUR APPROVAL, WE HAVE THE CONTRACTOR HERE THIS EVENING, I APPRECIATE THEM BEING HERE.

WE WILL DISCUSS THAT AND AFTER THE CHANGE ORDER APPROVAL DISCUSSION WILL BE CLOSED OUT FOR THE PROJECT.

EXCHANGE BOULEVARD ROUND ABOUT NOTATING THE GREEN, COUNSEL MOVED THIS PROJECT UP TO NEXT FISCAL YEAR AT THE RECENT BUDGET WORKSHOP MEETING. THE DESIGN IS COMPLETE THERE'S ONE RIGHT-OF-WAY PARCEL THAT IS OUTSTANDING AND THAT IS IN CONDEMNATION AND YOU WILL NOTICE WE HAVE ONE UTILITY THAT NEEDS TO BE RELOCATED TO. WE HAVE AN ANTICIPATED TIMELINE ON THAT, DEPENDING -- THE RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION WE WILL THEN GO OUT TO BID AND GET THE PROJECT MOVING.

SPEAK OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE --

>> THOSE ARE THE ONES JAMES BUT HIS JOB ON THAT THEY ARE NOT IN

CONSTRUCTION. >> THANK YOU.

PREVIOUSLY AT SET RECONSTRUCTION AND WHAT WE ARE DOING RIGHT NOW IS NOT RECONSTRUCTION, THAT IS ON THE CIP A PLAN FOR THE FU FUTURE. RIGHT NOW WE ARE FOCUSING ON COMPLETING THE ROUNDABOUT THANKS FOR POINTING THAT OUT.

>> I WILL CALL THOSE BLUE. >> THAT'S ONE OF THE ONES JAMES HAS TO HAVE A CONSTRUCTION BY AUGUST 1ST JUST SO YOU KNOW.

>> AUGUST 1ST? YOU MAY REMEMBER WE PREVIOUSLY BROUGHT FORWARD TO ILA FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO DELIVER THE PROJECT. I CHECKED IN THIS WEEK THE ANTICIPATED SCHEDULE IS INCLUDED HERE.

IT LOOKS LIKE DESIGN IS ANTICIPATED TO COMPLETE IN AUGUST. PLEASE NOTE THIS PROJECT IS NOT SLATED FOR CONSTRUCTION UNTIL FISCAL YEAR 29, WE WILL CONTINUE TO UPDATE YOU ON RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION AND ANY UTILITY COORDINATION AS WE GET CLOSER TO DELIVERY OF THE PROJECT.

>> SINCE NOW WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE 1660 SOUTH UNTIL APRIL, ODDS ARE THAT HEADING ARE PROBABLY SLIM.

ARE WE GETTING THE POINT WHERE IT MAKES SENSE TO GO AHEAD AND DO THIS ROAD NOW AND WAIT ANOTHER YEAR FOR THAT ROAD? WE HAVE HISTORICALLY SAID WE WANT TO WAIT ON THIS ROAD SINCE THEY ARE NOT BOTH IN CONSTRUCTION OF THE SAME TIME.

BECAME WAY TO GO ON THIS ONE AND WAITING ON THE OTHER ONE.

[01:25:05]

>> I CAN COORDINATE WITH BOTH OF THE CONSULTANTS AND DEVELOP A BETTER UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE ANTICIPATED CONSTRUCTION TIMELINE IS FOR BOTH OF THE PROJECTS AND MAYBE THAT CAN HELP INFORM WHAT COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO DO WITH BOTH OF THOSE

PROJECTS. >> I THINK THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

>> THIS IS ALSO A PROJECT COUNCIL RECENTLY VOTED TO MOVE UP THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR, 100% DESIGN IS COMPLETE, THE RIGHT-OF-WAY WE NEED IS COMPLETE.

WE ARE GOING TO SEND OUT COMMUNICATION I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS DIRECTION FOR PARTIAL CONSTRUCTION OF THE DESIGN PLANS. STAFF WILL BE COMMUNICATING WITH COUNSEL TO CONFIRM WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE TO ENSURE WE ARE DELIVERING CORRECTLY AND AFTER THAT WE WILL BE GOING OUT TO BID

TO. >> DISPUTED UP I THINK WE SET UP

TO THE ROAD -- >> I THINK IT'S CALLED PARKER?

>> BUILD UP TO PARKER? >> BASICALLY TO THE YMCA

ENTRANCE. >> YEAH.

>> THERE IS TECHNICALLY FUNDING IN THIS FISCAL YEAR BUT IT WOULD PROBABLY NOT BE SUFFICIENT FOR A DESIGN CONSULTANT TO START AND STOP, STAFF IS GOING TO REVIEW THAT ESPECIALLY ONCE WE BACKFILL SOME OF THE POSITIONS TO EXPLORE WHAT THIS MIGHT LOOK LIKE JUST GET IT STARTED TO. ADDITIONAL FUNDING IS NOT ALLOCATED UNTIL FISCAL YEAR 29. 1:30 NORTHBOUND, WE ARE AWAITING THE 100% SUBMIT AND FURTHER WE ARE GOING TO BE COORDINATING WITH -- THIS SHOULD BE UPDATED TO.

THE CONSULTANT IS BUT NASH. WE WILL BE CONNECTING VERY SOON TO DISCUSS WHAT SOUTHBOUND SCOPING ALSO MIGHT LOOK LIKE FOR

THE PROJECT. >> THE STUDY ON HOW MUCH WE HAVE TO PAY TO TAKE IT OFF, THAT'S COMPLETE?

>> CORRECT. WE HAVE CONFIRMED THE NORTHBOUND STUDY IS A MOOT POINT AND WE HAVE CONFIRMED WE DON'T NEED A

LOSS OF STUDY -- >> WE ALREADY GOT THAT DONE ALSO

MUSCLE? >> VERBALLY.

>> THAT'S HALF THE BATTLE, GETTING VERBALLY ON THE UPPER HAVE A SOMEONE PUTTING IT IN WRITING.

>> I FULLY AGREE. WE CAN ALMOST MOVE THAT TO A DESIGN PHASE 2 POTENTIALLY WITH THE DEVELOPER.

>> YES. 1:30 TWO, DESIGNERS COMPLETE, RIGHT-OF-WAY IS COMPLETE I WANT TO NOTE THIS PROJECT IN PARTICULAR HAS A HEFTY PRICE TAG AND SO CURRENTLY ON YOUR FIVE YEAR IT'S LISTED AS A SPONSORSHIP ONLY PROJECT.

THAT BEING SAID I PROBABLY WOULD'VE TO SUBMIT DOESN'T WANT THIS NECESSARILY -- THESE PROJECTS SPECIFICALLY FALLING OFF OF OUR PLAN. BETWEEN NOW AND NEXT YEAR WHEN WE BRING CIP DISCUSSIONS BACK TO YOU ALL WE WILL LOOK FOR DIRECTION IN TERMS OF HOW WE WOULD LIKE TO TREAT THOSE PROJECTS IF WE JUST WANT TO KEEP THEM ON THE FIVE-YEAR CIP WE WILL HAVE THAT DISCUSSION BUT I WANTED TO LIKE THIS FOR YOU ALL.

WE ARE AWAITING THE ICE ANALYSIS COMPLETION.

WHEN WE RECEIVE THE ICE ANALYSIS FOR THIS PROJECT, WHICH IS ANOTHER PIECE OF THE LOOP THAT WILL BE BROUGHT BACK HERE FOR DISCUSSION SO COUNSEL CAN EVALUATE THE DIFFERENT INTERSECTION OPTIONS. I BELIEVE WE ARE INTO SPEEDING THE ICE ANALYSIS TO BE COMPLETE IN SEPTEMBER.

THEORETICALLY HOPEFULLY YOU WILL NOTE MY ADDITIONAL ASTERISKS DEPENDING ON WHAT THE ICE ANALYSIS COMES BACK WITH WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF RIGHT AWAY THAT WE NEED AND ALSO PERHAPS THAT WILL ADJUST OR BETTER INFORM WHAT ORDINATION LOOKS LIKE. SIMILAR, THE ANALYSIS IS ANTICIPATED IN OCTOBER, THIS DISCUSSION WILL BE BROUGHT TO COUNSEL SHORTLY AFTER THE ICE ANALYSIS DISCUSSION.

KARL STERN AND CHRIS KELLY, WE HAVE RIGHT-OF-WAY COMPLETE COME UTILITY COORDINATION IS UNDERWAY AND WE ARE JUST AWAITING DESIGN COMPLETION. STILL ANTICIPATED FOR THIS FALL.

LIVE LOOK AT EDGE SCHMIDT INTERSECTION WE ARE ANTICIPATING THE ENGAGEMENT AGREEMENT WITH KENLEY HORN TO BE BROUGHT TO YOU AT THE AUGUST 20TH CITY COUNCIL MEETING WHICH WILL ALLOW THEM TO GET GOING. DESIGN IS ANTICIPATED FOLLOWING THAT AGREEMENT ASSUMING IT'S APPROVED OF THE AUGUST 20TH

[01:30:04]

MEETING IN DECEMBER, ANTICIPATING DESIGN COMPLETION, HOPEFULLY KICKING OFF BIDDING AND CONSTRUCTION THE FOLLOWING SPRING. IT IS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE WE ARE ROUTINELY CHECKING ON WHERE THE CONTRACTOR IS AT, THEY ARE VERY CLOSE TO BEING COMPLETE. WE ARE STAYING ON TOP OF THEM AS MUCH IS POSSIBLE TO ENSURE THEY ARE GETTING WORK DONE.

THAT'S EFFECTIVELY IT THERE. HAVE COORDINATED WITH THE DEVELOPER, THEY'RE WANTING TO BID ALL OF PHASE 1 AND OFF-SITE IMPROVEMENTS ALL AT THE SAME TIME BUT I THINK THAT IS WHY WE HAVE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF TROUBLE GETTING CLARITY ON WHAT THEIR TIMELINES HAVE BEEN IN DELIVERING OR STARTING CONSTRUCTION. WE CONTINUE TO STAY IN TOUCH WITH THEM I FOLLOWED UP WITH THEM THIS WEEK TO CHECK ON WHERE THINGS WERE. ELEVATED STORAGE TANK I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE THE WATER TRANSMISSION MADE I WILL CONFIRM FOR THAT. THE WATER TRANSITION MAINE IS UP FOR BID RIGHT NOW WE DO HAVE ONE PARCEL THAT IS IN CONDEMNATION RIGHT NOW THAT IS OUTSTANDING FOR THIS PROJECT, SO NOT THE STORAGE TANK. IRON TESTING.

IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS I WILL HAVE TO LEAN ON RICK A LITTLE BIT OR THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR.

BUT WE HAVE CONFIRMED NEITHER TAYLOR NOR MANVILLE -- THE RECHARGE WATER COMING ONLINE HAS ACTUALLY DILUTED THE IRON SEDIMENT THAT WE PREVIOUSLY SAW. IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, I KNOW THIS IS A POINT OF PASSION. BLEND WOULD INTERCEPT INTERCEPTOR RATING ON CONTROL PANEL DELIVERY, THAT IS THE PRIMARY ITEM THAT IS KEEPING THIS PILOT PROJECT FROM BEING CLOSED OUT, WE ARE WAITING ON A CONTROL PANEL.

THE CENTRAL LIFT STATION IS WORKING ON THEIR PUNCH LIST THEY ARE SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE IN THE SOUTH LIFT STATION IS

ACTIVELY AND CONSTRUCTION. >> DO WE HAVE SOME ETA?

OR THAT SAYS IT ALL? >> I DON'T BELIEVE THEY HAVE SHARED ONE WITH US, WE HAVE ALSO BEEN ASKING FOR CONFIRMATION ON WHEN IT WAS ORDERED BECAUSE NOW THAT IS DELAYING AND KEEPING THIS FROM BEING CLOSED OUTCOME WE ARE ACTIVELY COORDINATING

WITH THEM. >> THERE ARE ALTERNATIVE SOURCES WE CAN BUY FROM A THIRD PARTY THAT THEY WOULD AGREE TO.

>> WE CAN EXPLORE THAT, WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

>> THE CHAIR: THANK YOU. >> SOUTH WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT, WE ARE ANTICIPATING A FEW CHANGE ORDERS THAT HAVE JUST KIND OF BEEN -- HAVE MATURED THROUGH DIFFERENT FIELD CONDITIONS BEING ENCOUNTERED. THESE ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE RESOLVED WITH THE CONTINGENCY FUND THAT WERE ALLOTTED AS THE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE, THIS IS A SEYMOUR CONTRACT SO THE CONTINGENCY FUNDS ARE STILL PRESENT FOR OWNER AND I BELIEVE A CONTRACTOR CONTINGENCY THOSE WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF THAT WAY.

>> THE WEATHER DELAYS DOES THAT AFFECT WHERE IT COULD GO OVER THE LIMIT? OR IS THAT PART OF THE RISK THE

CONSTRUCTION MANAGER PICKED. >> IT ALL HAS TO DO WITH THE WAY THE CONTRACT IS FORMED. THERE ARE DAYS THAT ARE IN THERE, THAT CAN BE REQUESTED FOR, YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY HAVE BAD WEATHER DAYS REQUESTED AND REDUCED.

>> THE CHAIR: CAN COSTS GO UP BECAUSE OF WEATHER DELAYS FOR

US? >> NO.

>> THAT'S EATEN BY THE CONTRACTOR?

>> THAT'S RIGHT. THEY GIVE YOU A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE AND UNLESS WE CHANGE THE SCOPE AND TO SAY DON'T PUT THAT WALL THEY ARE, PUT IT OVER THERE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THEN TIME IS THERE RISK, NOT OURS.

>> THE FIRST SEGMENT IS COMPLETE THE DEVELOPER IS INSTALLING THIS IN THREE SEGMENTS, THE SECOND AND THIRD ARE ACTIVELY IN CONSTRUCTION AND WE ARE IN TALKS WITH THE DEVELOPER, ANTICIPATING SUBMITTING FOR BID AS SOON AS THEY ARE DONE WITH CONSTRUCTION AND THE INPUT STRUCTURE HAS BEEN ACCEPTED TO.

THAT IS PROGRESSING ALONG FINE. SOUTHEAST LOOP WASTEWATER LINE.

[01:35:11]

WE ARE WORKING TO COORDINATE A MEETING WITH THE CONTRACTOR, THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT VERTICAL DEVIATION IN THE LINE AND WE PREVIOUSLY HAD A MEETING TO DISCUSS WHAT THE IMPLICATIONS WERE OF THIS DEVIATION AND HOW WE WERE GOING TO RESOLVE IT.

THEY THE CONTRACTOR HAVE BEEN TRYING TO COORDINATE WITH TEXDOT BEFORE CONNECTING WITH THE CITY ADDED THAT HAS EFFECTIVELY GONE WITHOUT A RESOLUTION FOR SOME TIME NOW.

WE ARE WORKING WITH THE DESIGN CONSULTANT AND THE CONTRACTOR TO GET SOMETHING SET UP AND RESOLVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

>> WHAT IS SIGNIFICANT, 10 INCHES OR 10 FEET?

>> IS 29 INCHES, SOMETHING AROUND THERE.

IT'S SIGNIFICANT. THAT'S MORE THAN LIKELY THEY'RE

GOING TO HAVE TO RIP IT OUT TO. >> IT HAPPENS.

AS LONG AS IT'S NOT ON OUR DIME. >> CORRECT.

WE ARE FINALLY AT A GOOD POINT AND HAVE DONE THE RESPECTIVE COORDINATION AND EXCAVATION THAT WE NEEDED TO DO.

I DID WANT TO FLAG FOR YOU ALL THEY ARE WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK, WORK IS NOT TO BE COMPLETED WITHIN 200 FEET OF A RESIDENCE. WE DID HAVE SOME RESIDENTS REACH OUT INITIALLY WE COORDINATE WITH CONTRACTOR AND CORRECTED THEM TO BE WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE PERMIT AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY FEEDBACK OR UPSET SINCE THEN. ALL OF THE OUTSTANDING PARCELS ON THE PROJECT HAVE BEEN IN CONDEMNATION, SOME FORM OF CONDEMNATION. WE FINALLY HAVE A HEARING AT THE END OF AUGUST FOR TWO OF THE SEVEN OUTSTANDING PARCELS.

WE ARE PURSUING THREE POSSESSION AND USE AGREEMENTS TO ENSURE WE CAN HAVE ACCESS AND LASTLY THE TWO REMAINING PARCELS ARE UNRESOLVED WITH SOME TRUST ISSUES BETWEEN SOME FAMILIES AND PROPERTY OWNERS. EMORY LIGHT PHASE 1 THERE'S ADDITIONAL RIGHT-OF-WAY COORDINATION THAT NEEDS BE RESOLVED BEFORE GOING OUT FOR CONSTRUCTION.

>> ON THAT RIGHT-OF-WAY WAS ONLY LIKE FOUR PROPERTY OWNERS.

IS IT SOMETHING WE NEED TO PHONE CALL AND SAY YOU GUYS WANTED THIS BUT NOW YOU ARE PLAYED DIFFICULT OR ARE WE BEING THE

DIFFICULT PEOPLE, WHAT'S UP? >> IN COORDINATION WITH OUR RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION AGENT, ONE OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS I CAME TO UNDERSTAND THIS WEEK THAT THE DEVELOPER IS EFFECTIVELY TREATING PHASE 1 AND PHASE 2 AS ONE CATCH ALL FOR ALL OF THE RIGHT OF WAY. WHAT I THINK MAY BE HAPPENING HERE IS THERE ARE TWO PARTS OF THE PROJECT THAT MAY HAVE DIFFERENT ACQUISITION NEEDS AND HERE IT'S BEING REFLECTED AS JUST THIS ONE. IT IS AN INTENTION OF MY NEXT WEEK TO CONNECT WITH OUR RIGHT-OF-WAY AGENT AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THE ISSUE IS, WHAT -- ANTICIPATING ONE OF THEM TO CLOSE THE NEXT TWO WEEKS. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS OUTSTANDING BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE TOP OF MIND FOR THE DEVE

DEVELOPER. >> JAMES KNOWS, WE KNOW THE THREE PEOPLE, FOUR PEOPLE COME ONE OF THEM IS THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, THEY BENEFIT THE MOST FROM HAVING A SEWER LINE RUNNING BY THEM AND THAT LEAVES TWO OTHER FAMILIES THAT WERE POUNDING US TO DO IT. IF THERE IS AN ISSUE ONE OF US CAN MAKE A PHONE CALL AND WE CAN GET DONE BECAUSE WE HAVE THIS WHOLE PROJECT, EVERYTHING ELSE IS CONTINGENT ON THIS THING RUNNING ON TIME AND NOT A DAY BEHIND.

>> UNDERSTOOD. WASTEWATER LINE IS STILL IN CONSTRUCTION WE ARE TRYING TO COORDINATE WITH THE DEVELOPER FOR UNANTICIPATED TIME MIGHT AS SOON AS THAT IS MADE AVAILABLE IT WILL BE INCLUDED IN. CENTRAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT BYPASS. THE CAPACITY INCREASE HAS BEEN APPROVED THERE ARE PUBLIC NOTICES THAT ARE REQUIRED WITH THE APPROVAL OF SUCH, WE ARE COORDINATING WITH WHAT THAT PROCESS LOOKS LIKE IN A WAITING ON A ONE DESIGN.

EMORY LAKE PHASE 2, RIGHT-OF-WAY COORDINATION DESIGN IS COMPLETE FOR THIS ONE. I UNDERSTAND WHAT IS NEXT IS BLANK. CONNECTION FROM THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT TO WHERE YOU SIT 21-INCH LINE IS PARTIALLY

[01:40:03]

COMPLETE. WHAT STAFF NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT IN ORDER TO BETTER INFORM COUNSELORS WHAT THE DELIVERY TIMELINE LOOKS LIKE ON THE REST OF THIS INTERCEPTOR.

AS SOON AS MORE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE THAT WILL BE SHARED AS

WELL. >> I'M NOT TRYING TO BE MEAN BUT YOU GUYS ARE WAITING TO GET INFORMATION TO PRESENT TO US BUT YOU KNEW TODAY WAS GOING TO BE THE DATE.

ARE THEY NOT RESPONDING OR DIZZY AND DIDN'T QUITE GET TO THAT? I KNOW YOU HAVE A LOT GOING O ON, --

>> WE HAVEN'T ENCOUNTERED ANYBODY PLAINLY NOT BEING RESPONSIVE, IT'S NOT THAT. IT IS DEVELOPING AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE THINGS ARE AT THE END TRYING ENSURE THAT WE ARE PROVIDING COUNSEL WITH SUBSTANTIVE INFORMATION ABOUT WHERE THE PROJECTS ARE. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A BETTER ILLUSTRATION TO PROVIDE TO YOU ALL IN TERMS OF WHAT THE DELIVERY TIMELINE LOOKS LIKE AND THAT IS ME PERSONALLY NEEDED TO COORDINATE WITH THAT DEVELOPER TO GET THAT INFORMATION.

>> THE CHAIR: THAT'S FAIR, I APPRECIATE THAT.

>> I BELIEVE WE ARE SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE WALK-THROUGH TODAY, WE ANTICIPATE AS T-R WHO IS THE CONTRACTOR TO BE ON SITE TOMORROW BEFORE SOME WORK THAT IS NEEDED TO. WE ARE ANTICIPATING A SOFT OPENING I BELIEVE WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK, AS SOON AS WE ARE CLEAR ON THE WORK THAT SPR NEEDS TO PERFORM TOMORROW AND CONFIRMATION OF THE PARK IS GOOD TO OPEN WE WILL COMMUNICATE THAT

THE COUNCIL AND THE PUBLIC. >> I FEEL LIKE IN JUNE WE WERE TOLD THEY NEEDED A WEEK OF DRY WEATHER?

>> YES. THAT IF YOU TOOK SOME TIME, BECAUSE THERE WAS A CONCERN THAT JUST PUMPING OUT THE WATER THAT WAS REMAINING IN THAT CORNER OF THE PARKING LOT WASN'T GOING TO BE SUFFICIENT FOR THAT PART OF THE PARKING LOT TO DRY OUT.

THE BASE NEEDED TO BE REMOVED. THERE WERE SEVERAL SECOND AND THIRD DEGREE THINGS THAT NEEDED TO BE COMPLETE ADDITIONALLY WHEN STAFF WENT OUT THERE TO REVIEW THE PROJECT SITE THERE WERE SEVERAL ADDITIONAL ITEMS THAT WERE NOT APPROPRIATE TO MARK AS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE AT THAT TIME AND STAFF'S OPINION.

>> THE CHAIR: THE PUBLIC IS ALL OVER SOME OF US LIKE A WET BLANKET, WHEN I'M TOLD WE NEED A WEEK OF DRY WEATHER REPORT PARKING LOT BOOM, WE ARE OPEN TO ME THAT MEANS STAFF HAS ALREADY GONE OUT AND INSPECTED EVERYTHING AND WE ARE OKAY READY TO GO. IF WE ARE NOT BITTER TO GO IT WE ARE BEING COMMUNICATED TO WE JUST HAVE TO POUR PARKING LOT AND STAFF GOES OUT AND GOES OH, MY GOD, I KIND OF FEEL LIKE IT TO SUBSTANTIAL INFORMATION TO US I YOU GUYS HAVE TO GO OUT AND MAKE SURE THIS IS READY TO GO TO WHERE THEY SHOULD BE WORKING ON A PUNCH LIST BECAUSE THIS THING WAS SUPPOSED TO OPEN LAST YEAR, WASN'T IT? AT THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR? WE ARE STARTING TO CREEP INTO -- Q3 IS GOING TO BE Q4 AND WE ARE GOING TO HOPE FOR A CHRISTMAS OPENING HERE.

WHEN WE GET THE INFORMATION EITHER DON'T GIVE US ANY INFORMATION OR GIVE IT TO US TO WHERE WE KNOW WE POOR PARKING LOT BECAUSE I'M GOING IT HAD RAINED FOR A MONTH AND I TOLD PEOPLE -- I SAID I DON'T KNOW IF THEY RAN OUT OF ASPHALT

OR WHAT HAPPENED. >> UNDERSTOOD, AND NOTED.

ONE OF THE ISSUES WAS WHEN WE DID GIVE THAT UPDATE I BELIEVE THEY HAD YET TO POOR -- I CAN'T RUBBER WITH THE TERM IS, THE CUTS? THEY HAD CARVED OUT PIECES OF

THE PARKING LOT TO REGRADE. >> THEY HAD TRENCHED FOR SOME THE AREAS IN ORDER TO KEEP COSTS DOWN WITH THE EXISTING

PARKING LOT ALREADY WAS. >> ONCE THAT WORK WAS DONE IT WAS NOT COMPACTED PROPERLY. STAFF GOING OUT THERE AND RAKING BAREFOOT OVER IT WAS PULLING BACK.

THAT NEEDED TO BE CORRECTED AND THAT RESULTED IN ANOTHER DELAY BUT UNDERSTOOD WHEN SIGNIFICANT WORK LIKE THAT HAS NOT BEEN PERFORMED YET, WE WILL ENSURE WE ARE COMMUNICATING WITH

CONFIDENCE. >> AND ALL OF OUR NEW PROJECTS WE ARE PUTTING THE SIGNS OUT THAT WE SAID IT'S THE PROJECT, I'M GOING TO START TAKING PICTURES AND TELL PEOPLE CALL THE CONTRACTOR. WE ARE PAYING THEM GOOD MONEY TO HIT A PROJECT ON TIME, IF THEY CAN'T THEY SHOULD GET THE WRATH

OF THE PUBLIC, NOT US. >> THE CHAIR: UPPER BRUSHY CREEK WATER DISTRICT, WE ARE PENDING APPROVAL ON THE FACT AND

[01:45:02]

WE WILL COORDINATE WITH THE PARKS TEAM TO ENSURE COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT UPON APPROVAL. THIS I BELIEVE IS ON FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION THIS EVENING TO DISCUSS THIS AS AWAITING ADDITIONAL LEGAL COORDINATION. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M ALLOWED TO

SHARE -- >> WE DID HERE THEY ARE COMING OUT FOR A SITE VISIT SO WE ARE GOING TO ASK TO POSTPONE THIS

EXECUTIVE SESSION ITEM TO AUGUS. >> I LOVE IT, MAKING PROGRESS.

>> DISK GOLF. THIS PROJECT HAS ALSO BEEN ON HOLD BECAUSE IT REALLY HASN'T COME TO ANY INCEPTION.

UPON THE BACKFILLING OF SOME OF OUR CIP TEAM MEMBERS WE WILL START THIS UP IN COORDINATION WITH PARKS, ONE OF OUR CONTRACTORS TO STORE AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HIM.

>> THE CHAIR: IS THE BELCOURT PEOPLE?

>> THEY'RE HERE IN PERSON, THIS IS FOR A NIGHT UP LATER.

HERE I BELIEVE WE ARE WAITING ON A FUNDING SOURCE AND CONFIRMING WITH THE DELIVERY OF THIS PROJECT LOOKS LIKE.

HUDDLE LAKE PARK PLAYGROUND. THE CONTRACTOR IS OUT THERE, THEY GOT OUT THERE THIS WEEK WE ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE COMPLETE WITH THE PLAYGROUND INSTALLED THIS WEEKEND WHICH IS WONDERFUL.

WE ARE ANTICIPATING COMPLETION NEXT WEEK WITH SYNERGY WHO IS THE CONTRACTOR PERFORMING THE LANDSCAPING AND IRRIGATION, SIDEWALK FOR THAT WORK. WE ARE ANTICIPATING COMPLETION NEXT WEEK ON THIS. POLICE STATION JUSTICE CENTER.

WE HAVE A DISCUSSION TOMORROW GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE AND THIS WEEK IN OUR WEEKLY PROGRESS MEETINGS STAFF BEGAN TO IDENTIFY ESSENTIAL AESTHETIC MATERIALS FOR THE INTERIOR OF THE BUI

BUILDING. >> QUICK QUESTION.

WHAT'S NEXT ON THE GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND, ONE WILL BE GET THAT NUMBER WE NEED TO PROVIDE FOR THE ELECTION?

>> AS SOON AS WE HAVE THAT CONFIRMED TOMORROW AFTERNOON I BELIEVE WE WOULD SHOW THAT OUT WITH COUNSEL AND COUNSEL IS SET TO CALL FOR THE BOND AT THE AUGUST 13TH SPECIAL BUDGET

MEETING. >> AUGUST 13TH IS THE LAST DAY?

>> TECHNICALLY I BELIEVE IT'S THE 15TH BUT THAT WOULD BE THE LAST OPPORTUNITY FOR COUNSEL TO CALL FOR IT, YES.

LEGENDS OF HUTTO, TWO CHANGE ORDERS ON FOR THIS EVENING TO GET THIS PROJECT BACK TO WORK AND THE STAFF IS CURRENTLY AT THE FINAL STAGES OF REVIEWING THE REDESIGN FOR THE RETAINING WALL WHICH IS ASSOCIATED WITH CHANGE ORDER TOO.

>> CAN WE CHANGE THAT TO BE WHAT WE ARE ACTUALLY DOING? I HAD SOMEBODY ASKING WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON MY ROAD? THE PICTURE I HAVE IS THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD BEING DONE BUT I THINK WE'RE JUST DOING A COUPLE STREETS.

>> YES. >> THE MONEY, SECOND PAGE FOR THE MONEY, THAT IS NOT FOR ALL OF THEM, IT'S JUST FOR THE PHASE

WE ARE WORKING ON? >> CORRECT.

>> THAT'S HOW I UNDERSTAND IT. I DON'T HAVE A SUBSTANTIVE -- THEY HAD BEEN BOTH RESPONSIVE INITIALLY, NOT JUST A MATTER OF GIVING SOMETHING ON THE CALENDAR, THAT IS ROUTINE COORDINATION. STAFF WHAT I DISPLAY TO HAVE SOME SUBSTANTIVE UPDATE AT THE NEXT CIP PRESENTATION.

>> WHEN YOU GUYS GET THAT WE HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE COUNTY WE MIGHT WANT TO PIGGYBACK ON THAT MEETING.

IS TOUGH TO GET ON THE CALENDAR. THE FIRE SAFETY SUBCOMMITTEE HAS

BEEN TRYING TO HAVE A MEETING. >> NOTED.

I MADE THIS PRESENTATION PRIOR TO RECEIVING THAT INFORMATION REGARDING THE FM 1660 PROJECT, THERE WAS NO NEW INFORMATION TO INFORM YOU ALL THAT WE QUALIFY A PROJECT AS AT RISK, THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?

[9.1. Conduct a public hearing and possible action on Ordinance No. O-2026-033 approving Amendment #2 to Stromberg PUD to allow flexibility between residential and industrial uses. (Howard Koontz)]

>> THE CHAIR: GREAT JOB. >> THANK YOU.

>> THE CHAIR: NEXT WE WILL GO ON 9.1 CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING A POSSIBLE ACTION ON ORDINANCE NO.

[01:50:01]

O-2026-033 APPROVING AMENDMENT #2 TO STROMBERG PUD TO ALLOW FLEXIBILITY BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL AND INDUSTRIAL USES.

>> HELLO AGAIN, HOWARD KOONTZ FOR THE RECORD.

ACTION BEFORE YOU IS A SECOND AMENDMENT REQUEST FOR WHAT WE ARE REFERRING TO AS THE STROMBERG PUD.

THE BIG BUTTON? WE'VE GOT A CITY MAP.

YOU WILL SEE THE SEE THE RIGHT-OF-WAY THERE IS THE EAST WILCO HIGHWAY TO THE NORTH OF THIS BY A COUPLE HUNDRED FEET IS THE MEGA SITE. WE ARE LOOKING RIGHT NOW AT THE PORTION OF THE CITY OF HUTTO, MOST OF YOU HAVE SEEN THIS ONCE ABOUT TWICE BEFORE IT'S ABOUT 372 ACRES, SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO? THIS FIRST CAME TO THE CITY IN 2024 IT WAS DISCUSSED BY P&Z, THE COUNCIL SUBSEQUENTLY APPROVED AT AUGUST OF 2024 FOR A SINGLE SCENARIO THAT WAS ROUGHLY A 50-50 MIX OF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND RESIDENTIAL.

THE NEXT YEAR IN 2025 IT CAME BACK FOR THE FIRST AMENDMENT WHICH WAS TIED TO A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT DISCUSSION WHERE AN ADDITIONAL SCENARIO WAS PUT FORWARD THAT WENT THROUGH A P&Z PROCESS AND CAME TO COUNSEL WHERE DELINEATION HAD CHANGED FROM 50/50 INDUSTRIAL-RESIDENTIAL 290/10 -- PRIMARILY THE 10% WAS NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL AND OTHER NONRESIDENTIAL THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO SERVICE THE RESIDENTIAL PARCELS THEY ARE. THAT WAS FORMALLY PUT TOGETHER IN NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR. NOW WE ARE HERE IN JULY-AUGUST OF 2026, THEY HAVE COME BACK FOR A SECOND REVISION TO THEIR PUD.

INITIALLY THEY HAD MULTIPLE SCENARIOS FOR DEVELOPMENT THAT THEY WANTED TO PUT FORWARD TO. THERE WAS A 50-50 SCENARIO OF RESIDENTIAL-HINDUSTRIAL, THERE WAS A 90/10 OF RESIDENTIAL AND COMMUNITY-COMMERCIAL, NONRESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL USES THAT WOULD BE PRIMARILY RETAIL AND SERVICE USES GEARED TOWARD THE RESIDENTIAL ADJACENT. THE THIRD SCENARIO WAS 100% INDUSTRIAL AT THE TIME TODAY RIGHT NOW WE ARE AT THE STANDARD OF THE 90/10. WHAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR IS TO BRING BACK ALL THREE OF THOSE SCENARIOS AGAIN AND HAVE ALL OF THEM PUT INTO PLACE SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THIS ACTION TONIGHT. IF APPROVED, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO PUT FORWARD A DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT COULD BE 50/50 INDUSTRIAL/RESIDENTIAL, COULD BE 90/10 RESIDENTIAL/COMMERCIAL OR IT COULD BE 100% INDUSTRIAL. THE TWO SCENARIOS THAT INVOLVE INDUSTRIAL WOULD ALSO SEEK TO ALLOW AN ELECTRICITY TRANSFORMER SUBSTATION FOR THE NEED AND USE OF THE ELECTRIC ON SITE FOR THE INDUSTRIAL USES. THAT DESCRIBES WHAT I JUST SAID TRICK OF THE PROPERTY SURROUNDING THERE IS ET JAY DIRECTLY TO THE NORTH. TO THE RIGHT -- TO THE SOUTH BELOW IS THE RIGHT OF WAY FOR EAST WILCO HIGHWAY AND BOTH EAST AND WEST IS ALSO EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION.

THE ET JAY FOR EAST AND WEST IS CHAPTER 43.

IF ANYTHING WERE TO BE DEVELOPED THEY WERE ANNEXED INTO THE CITY, HERE IS ON THE LEFT THE OUTLINE OF THE PROPERTY THERE IN THE BRIGHT GREEN AND YOU CAN SEE THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP SHOWING THE DIFFERENT USES THAT ARE PERCEIVED TO MOVE FORWARD IN THE FUTURE. ON THE RIGHT WHAT WE HAVE IS TODAY'S ZONING, THE GREATER THE NORTH IS THE MEGA SITE, THERE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE GRAY TO THE SOUTHWEST THERE THAT'S THE CITY'S WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT, THE YELLOW IS THE LOWER DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, BROWN THERE IS PUD WITH MILDLY MORE DENSE BUT ALSO SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENTIAL.

EVER THE GALS OUT THERE IS EFFECTIVELY ET JAY OR CHAPTER 43 DEVELOPER'S AGREEMENT. THE PURPOSE OF PUDS AS LISTED IS

[01:55:05]

TO CREATE FLEXIBILITY OF DESIGN OR LAND USES ON SITES WHICH DON'T NECESSARILY FIT, THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN DOESN'T NECESSARILY FIT WITHIN THE RESTRICTED CODE OF OUR EUCLIDEAN DISTRICTS. THEY ALLOW FOR SOME DEGREE OF FLEXIBILITY IN APPLICATION OF STANDARDS AND RULES ON SITES WITH UNUSUAL TOPOGRAPHY, UNIQUE SETTINGS, OR DIFFICULT OR COSTLY FILAMENT PROBLEMS, THAT IS HOW THAT DISTRICT IS ENABLED.

STAFF ANALYSIS SHOWS THERE'S ACTUALLY NO CHANGES TO ANY DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS AS LISTED IN THE DEVELOP AT DOCUMENTS OR THE MAPS COME ALL THEY IS THE OPTION OF THESE LAND USE SCENARIOS. THE SCENARIO FLEXIBILITY COMPLICATES TECHNICAL REVIEW FROM THE STAFF'S PERSPECTIVE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IDEAS ESPECIALLY WHEN IT REFERS TO UTILITIES, RIGHTS OF WAY AND TO USES ADJACENT WHAT WOULD BE THE MOST APPROPRIATE OR INAPPROPRIATE MOVING FORWARD.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICE IMPACTS THE THREE SCENARIOS HAVE WIDELY VARYING INFRASTRUCTURE. MAKING CAPACITY PLANNING IN THE FUTURE MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TYPES OF ROADS WOULD BE MOST APPROPRIATE, WHAT TYPES OF WASTEWATER SERVICES WOULD BE MOST APPROPRIATE, THAT SORT OF THING.

>> CAN I ASK YOU SOMETHING? WHEN YOU DO SCR WHAT DOES THAT DO FOR STAFF? WHY DO WE MAKE DEVELOPERS DO SCR REQUESTS COME UP WITH THE PURPOSE OF THAT?

>> IT GIVES US AN IDEA OF ADEQUATE PUBLIC FACILITIES FOR WHAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE, WHAT WE NEED TO PLAN FOR ANYTHING THAT IS GOING TO BE DEVELOPED THAT WE EVENTUALLY WILL HAVE TO ACCOMMODATE WITHIN OUR TERMS AS WELL AS WHAT WE COULD CONCEIVABLY ACCOMMODATE IN THE FUTURE.

IT GOES INTO DECIDING WHAT SHOULD BE ON THE FUTURE LAND USE -- THERE ARE OTHER CONSIDERATIONS AS WELL INDIVIDUALLY PARCEL BY PARCEL, BUT ALL OF THIS GOES TOWARDS THE ORDERLY DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMMUNITY AND BEGIN THE PLAN FOR WHAT WILL BE PRESENT IF EVERY PIECE OF LAND WERE ALLOWABLE FOR EVERY CONCEIVABLE LAND USE, WE WOULD ALWAYS BE CHASING.

WE WOULD BE CHASING TRAFFIC INFRASTRUCTURE WE WOULD BE CHASING WHETHER OR NOT WE NEEDED TO PUT WASTEWATER LIGHTS OUT THERE AT ALL IS A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AGRICULTURE

VERSUS INDUSTRIAL. >> THEY TELL YOU WE ARE GOING TO BUILD 5,000 HOMES, RIGHTS? CITY STAFF COMES BACK AND SAYS TO DO 5,000 HOMES, THESE ROADS HAVE TO BE INSTALLED, THIS SEWER, THIS WATER CAPACITY IS HERE, THEY DO ALL THAT,

>> WORKING WITH THE DEVELOPER TOGETHER.

>> THEY HAD WIDELY DIFFERENT SERVICE DOMAINS IF THEY HAD ONE LITTLE BIT OF SAID, SAY THEY SAID 500 HOMES AND WE CAN HAVE 500 OF WATER AND DISCHARGE X AMOUNT OF GALLONS AND YOU HAVE TO BUILD ONE ROAD HERE IF THEY CHANGE WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO, DO THEY NOT HAVE TO FILL OUT ANOTHER SAR ON THE BUY AND SAY WE KNOW WHAT WE HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR MIND AND MORE WATER IN THIS CASE THEY HAVE TO ANOTHER REQUEST.

>> THEY'RE TIED TO THE PLANNING PROCESS WHICH WOULD BE THE LAST STAGE BEFORE BUILDING PERMITS FOR STUFF TO COME OUT OF GRANTS SO EVERY TIME THEY DO THAT THEY ARE PAYING THE FEE ON STUFF THAT WOULD LOSE MONEY BECAUSE IF WE BEGIN TO ADJUST OUR FEE SCHEDULE WILL APPEAR EVERY TIME YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND DO WE NOT JUST COLLECT ANOTHER FEE FROM THEM AND RUN THE PROCESS AGAIN.

THEY WANT TO DO IT MONTHLY. AT THE END OF THE DAY AND SERMON OR I GUESS WHAT I'M LOOKING AT IS WHAT IS READING ABOUT IMPACT BECAUSE EVERYTHING WE DO IS FLUID.

IT'S NOT LIKE WE DO HERE'S FUTURE LAND USE MAP ON HERE THAT'S IT WE ARE CONSTANTLY ADDING DENSITY TAKING AWAY.

I GUESS I'M CONFUSED WHY THERE'S SO MUCH CONCERN.

>> THE BIGGEST THING WE LOOK AT IS EVERYONE ELSE.

WE DON'T LOOK AT THE CAPACITY SPECIFICALLY FOR THESE PARCELS.

WE LOOKED AT HOW THAT'S GOING TO AFFECT EVERYBODY ELSE THAT COMES IN NEXT DOOR AND THEY START TO BUILD THE 5000 HOMES AS WELL.

WE LOOK AT THAT AND GO DEPENDS ON IF WE HAVE 5000 HOUSES NEXT

ORDER TWO INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS. >> SPEAKER-09: PEOPLE FILL OUT THEY WOULD HAVE A 5000 HOMES THAT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT STUFF THAT HASN'T DEVELOPED YET WE TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE THINGS THAT ARE PLANNED FOR OTHER THINGS THAT ARE ALLOWABLE IN

FUTURE LAND. >> YOU GUYS TAKE INTO ACCOUNT WHAT'S ALLOWABLE JEFF THAT SEEMS TRUE BECAUSE I WOULD THINK IF HE PUT ALLOWABLE I COULD SEE WHY HE WANTSVILLE A JOB BECAUSE WHAT IF THIS HAPPENED IF WE ALL THIS HEAVY INDUSTRIAL AREAS THE

[02:00:03]

ACROSS WAS FIRST RAISED HERE NO ONE ELSE SOLD THEM AND SO IF YOU TAKE THE LAST OF THE CAPACITY THE QUESTION FOR THE COUNCIL IS DO YOU WANT THEM TO TAKE LESS OF THE DEVICE STUFF IS GOING ON THINKING ALL THIS IS AN ETJ TO THE EAST.

THANKS FOR THE THANKS THAT SEEMS DIFFICULT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S AN AND MICROSCOPE LOOK AT THINGS LIKE STORMWATER CIRCUMCISE THE STORMWATER THE SIZE OF THE POND FOR EVERY SINGLE LOT THAT GETS BUILT INTO RESIDENTIAL HOUSING PROJECT THEY'RE CRITICIZED FOR THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE THAT'S MOST EXPEDIENTLY TO DETERMINE WHO IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN HERE THIS MACRO SCALE WILL MAYBE CEOS WE LOOK AT THREE NEW FOUR-LANE DIVIDED ROADS I'M SURE WHAT IS REQUIRED AND THAT'S JUST ROADWAYS IF WE KNOW IF SOME MANUFACTURING AND THE INDUSTRIAL HAS MUCH DIMINISHED REQUIREMENT FOR WASTEWATER THEN OTHERS DO. IT DEPENDS ON HOW.

>> IF YOU WANT DEVELOPERS TO COME IN NOT ONLY TELL YOU WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO BUT SOMEHOW HELP STAFF UNDERSTAND WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE CAN DO THAT'S WHY THE PROCESS TAKES SO LONG I'M NOT SAYING LIKE A RASH DECISION BUT IF WE WERE TRYING TO DO TWO OR FOUR MORE THE WHOLE TRANSPORTATION IF WE'RE NOT EVEN WHEN I THOUGHT THIS STUFF WAS A LOT MORE STRUCTURED THAT YOU HAVE TO COME CHARACTERISTICS OF EVERYTHING TO PEOPLE WANT TO DO ALL THAT PROJECT BUT IF WE WERE TALKING TO YOU MAN THAT MAY OR MAY NOT YOU KNOW IN FACT YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT BECAUSE UNLESS THEY HAVE A QUESTION I'M GUESSING IT SEEMS LIKE A VERY COMPLICATED PROCESS TO GET EVERYTHING THAT COULD HAPPEN SO I'M UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROCESS HERE BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT QUESTION WAS ABOUT YOU KNOW IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU BUT NEVERTHELESS

YOU COULD DO. >> THE OTHER LAND USE ZONING AND FUTURE LAND USE MAP FOR SIDE ARE TAKING INTO ACCOUNT WITH THE EXPECTATION OF THEIR SERVICE ABILITY AND WHAT WE WOULD REQUIRE OF ANY APPLICANT COMING IN TO MEET THE DOES WOULD RATHER

HAVE HOUSES OR INDUSTRIAL? >> PREFERENCE IF MY STAFF IS PICKING UP SPEED IT JUST SAYS. THE PEOPLE YOU DEAL WITH FROM ENGINEERING CAPACITY WHAT USES MORE RESIDENTIAL OR POTENTIALLY IN INDUSTRIAL USE IN YOUR EXPERIENCE.

>> IN MY EXPERIENCE RESIDENTIAL. >> THIS IS WHAT WASTEWATER CREW

WAS FOR THE RESIDENTIAL. >> PRIMARILY RESIDENTIAL.

>> POLICING ALL THAT STUFF THAT'S GOING TO USE MORE SERVICES RESIDENTIAL I UNDERSTAND YOUR ISSUE.

THAT'S RIGHT ON THE BORDER OF THE INDUSTRIAL THINGS AND CAN POINT TO THE EAST AND THEN TO THE WEST IS WEAKER AND 3-ACRE RESIDENTIAL LOTS BUT I MEAN TO SAY I DIDN'T HAVE YOU CAN BUILD A NEIGHBORHOOD WHICH WOULD PROBABLY WOULD REQUIRE MAJOR INVESTMENTS AND THESE GUYS ARE RESIDENTIAL BUILDERS SO WE KEEP THEM IN FRONT. CAN YOU DO AN INDUSTRIAL WE'RE ACTIVELY MARKETING THE PROPERTY FOR THEM FOR INDUSTRIAL.

I CAN SEE THAT IN THE WAKE I KNOW RESIDENTIAL BUT THE CITY KEEPS ASKING ME TO DO COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL FROM THE MAYOR.

I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU THINK IS THE BEST BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE THEM TO STICK TO THEIR OWN PEOPLE INTO SITUATION AND TO KEEP PUSHING FOR INDUSTRIAL I SEE WHERE THEY ARE

LIKE -- >> OTHER THEN FUTURE LAND USE MAP FOR WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING CONGRUENT WITH THE INPUT WE GOT PERMISSION IN THE MAP WAS PUT TOGETHER JUST SKIP TO THE JUMP ON THIS. STAFF AND PND BOTH THE BIGGEST PROBLEM I GUESS BECAUSE THEY SEEK TO INTEGRATE THAT IT ACCOMMODATES EVERYTHING. THEY'RE TRYING TO BUILD THE PROPERTY WITH THE EVERY CONCEIVABLE PERSON WHO MAY WANT TO COME TOGETHER AND POSES CHALLENGES TO US TO DRIVE THE PREFERENCE? ANOTHER ONE.

NOW YOU HAVE TO STOP INTO THE. OTHER PEOPLE INSIDE THIS BUILDING AND PUSH THEM TO DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN WHAT AND

[02:05:04]

THEN THEY WOULD COME UP IN PHARMACEUTICAL DRUG PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES LIKE, HEY, WE ZONE INDUSTRIAL ARE HAPPY TO GET THAT USE BUT THOSE PEOPLE GO TO OTHER TRUE AND THAT FALLS THROUGH THAT TRANSACTION WE HAVE ANOTHER HOT PROSPECT HERE DO YOU THINK YOU GUYS ARE GOOD SO WE ARE CREATING A

PROCESS. >> PROCESS THE SCENARIO WHEN 98 WENT THROUGH AND THEN YOU WILL SEE EVEN THE DOCTOR YELLOW IS A LITTLE BIT HIGHER DENSITY SO EXPECTATIONS AND TIMEFRAMES WERE HIGHER THAN SAY A SINGLE FAMILY IN THE RED AND RESIDENTIAL IT'S NOT 10% WHICH IT'S 90% 10% OTHER ACCESSORY RESIDENTIAL IT'SES ALSO CREATED THIS BUT YOU'LL NOTICE NORTH HALF IS GREAT INDUSTRIAL AND THE SOUTH PART IS TWO RESIDENTIAL IS IN THE VERY ♪ ♪ THIS PIECE OF COMMERCIAL THE THIRD ON EAST WE'LL CALL HIGHLY AVAILABLE IF YOU THINK OF THE TWO ENABLE THIS WHICH IS 100%

RESIDENTIAL. >> WE HAD A BIG TALK ABOUT KEEPING IT THIS WAY IF YOU PUT MY TO OUR BUFFER AND SINGLE FAMILY 300-FOOT WIDE HIGHWAY TO THE SOUTH RESIDENTIAL AND INSTEAD OF PUSHING TO RESIDENTIAL AND TRYING TO FIGURE

OUT HOW INDUSTRIAL. >> SO MUCH OF THAT IS UNDEVELOPED THAT MEANS THE QUESTION OF IF YOU HAVE ANY INPUT FROM THE SUBCOMMITTEE AND SAMSUNG TO ENSURE THAT I DON'T WANT TO BE THE POPULAR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY TO.

>> SPEAKER-05: RECOGNIZE IT'S A CHALLENGE BECAUSE THIS IS AN EMERGENT SECTION AND ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN WITH EMERGENT BUT THAT DECISION THAT WE MAKE WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF CONTEXT.

SO IS MORE INDUSTRIAL THAN HAVE A WHOLE SECTION OF THE COUNTY BECOMING INDUSTRIAL PARK AND THAT WILL DRIVE DECISIONS GOING IN THE FUTURE BE LESS ATTRACTIVE TO THINGS LIKE THIS AND OLD FOLKS HOME NOT DON'T DO IT BUT THE TRACKS ARE BUSINESSES SO IT WILL BE ATTRACTIVE TO THEM OR IF IT GOES RESIDENTIAL IT'LL BE AN EX SUBSTANTIAL APPROXIMATELY TO TRY TO MINIMIZE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE IN HOUSTON HAVE BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT INDUSTRIAL PARK, SENSORY EXAMS YOU BUY THE HOUSE AND THE @THETRACTORTRAILERSANDTHEENGINE NOISESPICKYABOUTTHEHOMETHAT'SWHA TWASCHIEFOF.YOUKNOWTHESENSITIVEA TIONSFORSENSITIVEFORCREATIVERECE IVESUPPORT.

OTHERWISE I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER

ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. >> I DON'T THINK YOU'LL HAVE TO GO BACK OVER IT AGAIN. I WAS HERE WHEN I PRESENTED TO P AND Z A FEW MEETINGS BACK AND SO BASICALLY LEFT HIM IN THE EYE SO NOBODY WANTED TO MAKE A IF NOBODY WANTED TO MAKE A DECISION SO HERE WE ARE HERE I PERSONALLY AM NOT IN FAVOR OF AMENDING THIS. TICKETS RESIDENTIAL IS OVERKILL RIGHT NOW. I'M NOT NECESSARILY 100% ON INDUSTRIAL IS ALL. SO IF I HAD TO MAKE A CHOICE IT WOULD BE 50/50, MY POSITION IS BRING MORE INDUSTRIAL TO THE CITY BY DOING IT WE ARE GOING TO BRING MORE JOBS INTO THE CITY.

CAN THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN HUTTO WHO CAN WORK LIKE AT COMPETITIVE RATES WE ARE GOING TO SPEND ON HOW TO.

IT'S GOING TO BE BETTER FOR HUTTO.

SO IF I HAD TO CHOOSE IT WOULD PROBABLY BE 50/50 TO ME HONEST

WITH YOU BUT THAT'S MY POSITION. >> :A MOTION TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT AS PRESENTED IF YOU [BOOS] SECOND I. WOULD RATHER HAVE A CERTAIN THING CHECK IT'S ALWAYS BEEN INDEX PROPERTY USABLE AND WOULD RATHER THAT BECAUSE IT BECAME TAX FREE BEFORE THEY WERE GOING TO DEVELOP.

ALWAYS BEEN THE FIRST RESIDENTIAL BUT AS THE AREA HAS GROWN TO INFRASTRUCTURE IS NOT FOR THIS PROBABLY 800 FEET TO

THE WEST IS THE SKY BOX. >> TO THE LIBRARY AND IT'S

CALLED THE SIMULATION. >> I GET INTO THE BACK FORGET THAT 2018, 2017. 71,000 FEET AWAY SO I LOOK AT IT

[02:15:03]

FROM A RESIDENTIAL I DON'T KNOW WHETHER PEOPLE GO BECAUSE TO GO TO ANY KIND OF SERVICES THAT WOULD BE ONE THING TO SOUTHEAST FOR AROUND AND GO WITH ANOTHER BACK OTHER FORGOT TO GO DOWN SECOND CITY STUPID COME BACK TO ME IT WOULD BE BEST TO BE INDUSTRIAL I DIDN'T KNOW MARKETS CHANGE ANY PART OF THE PROBLEM IS THEY KEEP IT RESIDENTIAL AND THEY HAVE SOMEBODY ON THE HOOK THE FIRST QUESTION TO ALWAYS ASK IS HOW HARD IS IT TO BE ZONED INDUSTRIAL IF THERE'S AN ARGUMENT TO BE SAID WE CAN PICK AND CHOOSE WHO THAT PERSON IS GOING TO BE BUT WE WILL DO THAT THROUGH ALL THE OTHER PROCESSES WE HAVE WHEN IT COMES UP PICK SO THE ONLY REASON I'M OKAY WITH ALL THE FLEXIBILITY IS BECAUSE OF WHERE IT'S AT HERE I FORGOT WHAT HOWARD CALLED IT BUT IT'S IN SECTION WHERE IT COULD GO ONE OF TWO WAYS.

PEOPLE NEED TO BE ON THE WEST SIDE THE SITE WOULD RATHER DO VISIBLE TO BECAUSE THEY HAVE THEIR PROPERTIES THERE THIS IS IN THE CITY AND ITS SURROUNDED BY INDUSTRIAL SO WE HAVE TO LOOK OUT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE IN THE CITY THANK YOU THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS TO GET A BUS UP BILL ESS TO.

BUT IT'S JUST DIFFICULT IF YOU'RE PROBABLY INDUSTRIAL IT'S BEST FOR THEM BUT MY QUESTION, I WAS ON PLANNING AND ZONING BACK IN 2024 AND HEARD IT FROM THE BEGINNING, NOT BACK TO 2019 BUT HEARD ALL OF THE FORT AND AGAIN PROS AND CONS.

I BELIEVE THIS IS INCORRECT ME THIS IS ALL MARKET DRIVEN IS THAT A CORRECT STATEMENT OF HOW THIS IS GOING TO BE WE HAVE INDUSTRIALS AND THEY WANT TO GET NOTABLY SO WITH THE RETURN GET THEIR INVESTMENT BACK WITH THEM THE FLEXIBILITY AND THE CHANGES FROM 50/50ITIS 05100 IS ALL IN RESPONSE TO MARKET FLUCTUATION.

IS THAT A FAIR ASSESSMENT I. THINK IT IS AND ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THIS DRUG HAS BEEN WAITING FOR INFRASTRUCTURE TO BE IN PLACE A COMBINATION OF WATER FROM AND WASTEWATER FROM THE CITY OF NEW YORK ZIP LINE WASTEWATER LINE SOMEONE TO FIGURE OUT THAT'S 20 MINUTES FROM BUT NOW THAT UTILITIES ARE IN PLACE WHAT YOU'LL SEE IS THERE WILL BE A MARKET DRIVEN ANSWER TO WHAT THIS LAND USE ENDS UP BEING ON THIS PROJECT. ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO THERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE FORWARD UTILITIES.

>> ANGEL SINCE THE CONCERNS OF ONE TYPE OF PHILOSOPHY MAY INFLUENCE MY CONCERN IS THAT OKAY WE GET A DIRECTION FROM THE DEVELOPER AND THIS IS WHERE WE ARE GOING TO WITHOUT SPLIT IS GOING TO APPEAR WE START THE MOMENTUM FOR THIS DESIGN ARCHITECTURE AND SOME STUDENTS HAVE PROMOTED, ALL THAT BUT SOMETIMES SIX MONTHS TO 18 MONTHS INTO THAT PROCESS WE WANT TO CHANGE IT AGAIN IF THERE'S MONEY INVOLVED LIKE MOST ON THE DEVELOPER SIDE INVESTOR SIDE IS NECESSARILY IN THE CITY BUT GETS IN THE WAY OF THE THINGS YOU COULD BE DOING HERE SO THAT'S MY CONCERN IS HAVING THE FLEXIBILITY HOW DO THE CITY FEEL COMFORTABLE KNOWING THAT WE FACT THE NEXT TIME WE'RE GOING TO STICK TO THIS MIX WE'RE AND WE CAN'T REALLY CHANGE IT AFTER SOME. IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN GET THAT

TYPE OF CONDITION THREE. >> I THINK YOU WILL HAVE THE CERTAINTY OF THE PRELIM APPROVED ALREADY ON 1355 BECAUSE THAT WAS WHAT WAS MOVING FORWARD WHEN YOU SEE CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS FOR SUBDIVISION OR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AS THE CASE MAY BE, GENERALLY WHEN THAT COMMITMENT IS MADE ON NOW THE UTILITIES ARE IN PLACE YOU CAN EXPECT THE NEXT SUBMITTAL TO BE ONE OF LEGS WITH UTILITIES AVAILABLE. EAST FOUR HIGHWAY BEING THIS IS THE TIME WE SEE THE PROJECT COME TO FRUITION.

IS THERE A TIMELINE. BY AGREEING TO THIS CAN WE DO ANYTHING LIKE SET PREWE HAVE TO DECIDE BY THIS TIME? YOU MADE A REALLY GREAT POINT EARLIER WORK HOW CONSEQUENTIAL OR HOW THIS LITTLE PARCEL WILL BE FOR WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH UNDEVELOPED AREAS AND IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN ASK OR REQUEST OR HAVE ALREADY GIVEN A TIME GUARANTEE THAT COULD BE GUARANTEED BY THE STATE WE'LL LET YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE

WERE DOING AND THAT ALLOWS US. >> WE HAVEN'T GOT THAT INFORMATION I CAN'T IMAGINE THIS OTHER POINT WITHOUT SOMEBODY INTERESTED IN PUTTING THAT PROJECT IN THE GROUND I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO TRANONE.

[02:25:02]

>> IT'S BECAUSE IT'S SO CONSEQUENTIAL TO ANSWER THE QUESTION ABOUT THE UNDERSTAND IS THE AREA IS IN FLUX WHEN THIS WAS ADJUSTED. THIS AREA HAS NOT GONE AS STRONGLY IN THE DIRECTION OF THIS INDUSTRIAL AS IT HAS LOST FORCE. I THINK THAT TIME COULD WORK WITH US IN THE PRINCIPAL WANTS TO GO THROUGH.

WE COULD SET A GUIDELINE OF THREE YEARS SO PROCESSES IN THE CITY GENERALLY TAKE SEVERAL YEARS AT THIS POINT SO IF AN ADJACENT PROPERTY WAS MOVED FORWARD THEY WOULD KNOW BY THE TIME THEY GOT TO THE END OF THEIR PROCESS OR WE COULD GIVE AN UPDATE EVERY YEAR FROM THE DEVELOPER THAT SAYS THIS IS PROGRESS AND WE KNOW THAT FROM DISCUSSIONS ALREADY BUT IF IT WAS RESIDENTIAL OR ♪ ♪ .

SO I THINK EITHER ONE OF THOSE COULD BE DONE FOR THREE YEARS

ANYMORE. >> SPEAKER-03: OKAY EXPIRING

THREE YEARS. >> IF THE 100% INDUSTRIAL EXPIRES IN THREE YEARS THAT WOULD BE FINE CAN YOU BE WILLING

TO DO THAT. >> SPEAKER-09: JUST TAKE A

LOOK AT THAT. >> NOT THE IDEA.

>> YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO JUST PUT A CAP JUST SAY CONCLUSIVELY OKAY I CAN PROBABLY FIGURE IT OUT IF WE COULD SAY THAT PENDING CITY LEGAL, YOU NEED DIRECTION FROM US AT SOME POINT IF WE

APPROVE THAT PENDING CITY LEGAL. >> IF YOU'RE SAYING 100% INDUSTRIAL WOULD BE GOOD FOR THREE YEARS TO THE END OF 2030.

>> I CAN'T DO THAT RIGHT NOW. >> I THINK THREE YEARS OF WORK.

♪ I WOULD JUST SEND THEM IT THAT 100% DESIGNATION IS ON 1123.

>> I'M GOOD WITH THAT. >> IF YOU CAN'T DO IT I'LL HAVE TO BRING IT BACK AND SAY YOU CAN'T DO IT THAT WAY YOU WOULD HAVE TO DO IT HAS TO REMEMBER THE THIRD DIMENSION 100%.

>> THIS IS ONLY ONE STEP. ONCE WE DO THIS WE WOULD GET THEM ANOTHER COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND BEFORE THE SINGLES FINALIST. IF YOU'RE OKAY WITH THAT CHANGE.

[02:30:01]

THE AUTHORIZING CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE CHANGE ORDER ONE THROUGH PROGRAM OF LIBERTY CIVIL CONSTRUCTION LLC FOR $152,512.48 ADDITIONAL COST OF $141 FOR MODIFICATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS THROUGH LEGENDS PROJECT CIP D01-2024.

I WAS READING THIS STAFF NOTES. IF I READ THIS RIGHT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM WE HAD WITH ANOTHER PROJECT WHERE WE BOUGHT DESIGN PLANS AND THEN IT SAYS DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT A DISCUSSION OCCURRED BETWEEN THE CITY CONSTRUCTION INSPECTOR AND CONTRACTOR AND FOR THE DISCUSSION LIBERTY WAS MADE AWARE WHEN HE CRUSHED AGGREGATE PRICE FOR THE CHANNEL WHICH I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE PLAN SPECS WHATEVER IT HAD TO BE AND AS A RESULT CONTRACTOR RFI REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION AND WE LOST THOSE, MONEY.

I GOT THAT. I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE IF YOU WANT TO PLANT A TREE IT'S GOT A DETAILED FINE IT'S GOT TO BE SO MANY THINGS TO GET US THROUGH THE OTHER AND SOMEHOW WE HAVE ALL THESE PLANS AND I'M NOT QUESTIONING THE CITY INSPECTOR BUT THEN QUESTIONING THE CITY INSPECTOR ON SOME ASPECTS THE WE NEED TO BE CRUSHED GRAVEL PREREQUISITE OF DRINKING WAS A PREFERENCE FOR WHATEVER IT LOOKS LIKE A COST OF $10,152,000.05 MONTHS DELAY IF IT WAS IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO DO THAT AND I DON'T GET COMPLAINTS OF OUR INSTRUCTORS IF I DON'T KNOW SOME IN OTHER CITIES THEY GOT PREFERENCES AND I'VE BEEN TOLD TO WORK LIKE THIS ONE TIME BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIKE THE WAY REDO THE PLUMBING THAT WAS PERMITTED THAT WAS CALLED.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING THE THINGS PEOPLE KNOW A LITTLE BIT OF CRUSHED STONE DIFFERENCE IS, IT COSTS FIVE MONTHS OF OVER $152,000 AND I HOPE IT WAS WHAT IT HAD TO BE DONE BECAUSE IT WAS A CONVERSATION AND DESIGN FOR WHATEVER THIS WILL DO IF I'M NOT EVEN CONSTRUCTION KIEV. HOW IMPORTANT IS THIS?

>> $2023 A DAY. >> MAKING DECISIONS IF IT'S IMPORTANT WE HAVE TO BE DOING IT BUT IF IT'S SOMEONE WIELDING THE

WAIT, OR TO PUT OR WELL. >> IT WAS A PUMP TRACK.

>> THAT COST US AN ARM AND A LEG.

I DON'T KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS.

>> IT IS NECESSARY FOR THE PROJECT BECAUSE OTHERWISE SOME MISCOMMUNICATION DURING THE BID PHASE AND THE WAY THE CONSULTANT WAS SUPPORTING US THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL BID RESPONSE AS APPROPRIATE MATERIALS SO THE CITY WOULD HAVE PAID FOR THOSE MATERIALS AT THAT TIME INCLUDED IN THE TOTAL CONTRACT PRICE HERE BECAUSE OF MISCOMMUNICATION IT'S NOT INCLUDED AS PART OF THE TOTAL CONTRACT PRICE FROM THE GET-GO.

THIS IS NOT STAFF ESTIMATE FOR THE SCOPE THIS IS NEEDED FOR THE DELIVERY OF THE PROJECTS THE PROJECTS THAT BASICALLY REFERRED TO THE REPORT WHICH IS WHAT I'M ACCUSTOMED TO WHEN WE WERE POURING CONCRETE AND CLOSE TO A DEAL REPORT THAT TELLS YOU HOW MUCH YOU ARE UNDERCUTTING. IS A CONTRACTOR DIDN'T FOLLOW

THE. >> TO THE REPORT AND SEE WHAT WE HAVE TO DO TO WHAT IS THAT WE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS BECAUSE OF THEM IN THE PROJECT YOU JUST LOST

$152,512.48. >> DURING THE BID PHASE OF THE PROJECT THE CONTRACTOR HAPPENS TO BE THE ONE AWARDED THE CONTRACT DID ASK THE QUESTION OF THE DEAL WAS PROVIDED ON THE CONSULTANT SUPPORTING THE PROCUREMENT PHASE OF THE PROJECT UNDERSTOOD THAT QUESTION DIFFERENTLY SO THE CONTRACTOR WAS ASKING FOR GEOTECHNICAL REPORT AND THE CONSULTANT RESPONDED GEOTECH WILL BE PROVIDED REFERRING TO GEOTECH TESTING. THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT TWO DIFFERENT THINGS AND DUE TO THE TIME LIMIT FOR THE CLOSING THE CLARIFICATION OF CONTRACTOR HAS THE ABILITY TO ASK FOR CLARIFICATION QUESTION. SO BETWEEN THE START OF THE PROJECT AND LATER INTO THE PROJECT THEY ARE HERE TO BETTER INFORM AND SPEAK TO A, THEY ASKED FOR CLARIFICATION ON WHY

[02:35:01]

THEY HADN'T RECEIVED A GEOTECH REPORT TO SO BASICALLY THIS WAS NOT SOMETHING I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT GOT TO, HEY, THIS MATERIALS ARE NEEDED FOR DELIVERY OF THE PROJECT AND WE DON'T HAVE X BUT WE NEED THE MATERIAL THAT WAS WHEN THIS CONVERSATION WAS KICKED OFF AND CONFIRMED WE DO NEED THIS MATERIAL FOR THE

PROJECT. >> I GUESS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING HAS HAD THEY BEEN PAID $152,000 MORE WOULD YOU NOT LIKE SOMETHING WAS DONE HE WAS LIKE LOOK.

WE MISSED IT AND HAD IT BEEN CUT IT WOULD COST YOU MORE ANYWAY IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE TEARING STUFF UP IF YOU'RE A LOT OF CHANGE ORDERS OR SOMETHING SIMILAR AND THIS IS NOT A READING THIS IS -- MAX CONSIDERATION.

>> I ABSOLUTELY HATE CHANGE ORDERS THE CITY ALWAYS LOSES CONTRACTOR MAKES SOME FORMS OF THAT TO ME AND THAT'S THE CASE I'M SURE HOW LONG IS THE MOTION TO APPROVE TEND TO AS PRESENTED THANKS FOR THE EXPLANATION.

I BELIEVE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE 81.

>> YES. >> OKAY THEY ARE HERE TO TELL US WHY IT TOOK THEM A YEAR TO DO SOMETHING OTHER PEOPLE CAN DO IN

THREE MONTHS. >> THEY COULD RESPOND TO THAT.

IF THEY HAD REQUESTED THAT STAFF INCLUDE SPECIFICALLY CHANGE ORDER TWO WHICH IS IN RELATION TO THE LONG TIME FOR PROCUREMENT OF THE MATERIALS NEEDED FOR THE PROJECT IF YOUR STAFF HASN'T BEEN OF THE OPINION WE HAVE SEEN ENOUGH DUE DILIGENCE BEING PERFORMED TO ACCEPT THAT CHANGE ORDER.

THEY CAN SPEAK TO IT FOR SURE BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT IS A

OUTSTANDING POINT OF CONTENTION. >> THEY DIDN'T ORDER SIGNAL POLES ANYMORE THAT WE THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE ORDERED THEM.

>> I DON'T KNOW STAFF HAS BEEN INFORMED OF WHEN THE POLES WERE ORDERED I ALSO WANT TO NOTE THAT A WORD OF THE PROJECT WAS I BELIEVE IN MARCH INTO THE PREWASN'T UNTIL MAY THAT WAS FOR A FEW REASONS. SOME OF THEM DISCONNECTED FROM TIME ON CITY STAFF COULD HOWEVER I CAN SPEAK TO IT BECAUSE THEY WERE HERE FOR SHARING A COUPLE OF TIMES THE MATERIALS WERE

PRIOR TO BID, RIGHT AFTER BID. >> THE GREAT THING ABOUT TODAY IS FORTUNATELY I COULDN'T TALK ABOUT MY PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE NOW I CAN'T GET FIRED. WE BUILT AN ENTIRE CONVENIENCE STORE AND TOOK THESE GUYS TO PUT UP A WHICH IS AMAZING BECAUSE YOU CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE PROCUREMENT YOU HAVE FOR THAT AND SOMEHOW THAT HAPPENED AND THESE GUYS NEED TO PUT IN A SIGNAL AND IT WAS A LOT OF NOISE THEY HAD A COMMON AREA AND IF I REMEMBER RIGHT THEY ASKED FOR DELAY BECAUSE IT WENT AWAY FOR SCHOOL WHICH CONFUSED ME SINCE THEY WERE NOT LAST SCHOOL YEAR THEY ARE A MILE AWAY FROM SCHOOL BUT OKAY WE GIVE THEM AND THEY ARE PROBABLY ONLY NOW START KEEPING TRACK IN A MINUTE AND SOMEONE SAYS THEY WERE GOING TO BE DONE BY EIGHT I'M WAITING FOR THAT DATE TO COME AROUND TO BEAT UP ANY GUYS FROM HITTING THEM WITH LIQUID DAMAGES AND THESE GUYS WE SET DATE SO FAR AND EVERYBODY'S JUST GETTING STARTED FROM GYM OUT THERE WILLING TO HELP THEM WIRE IT UP AND DO EVERYTHING WE CAN BECAUSE IT'S LIKE WE STARTED TO FEEL SORRY FOR THEM TO NOW I CAN SAY WHAT I

USED TO DO FOR. >> THIS IS PREDOMINANTLY THE CHANGE ORDER THAT WAS REVOLVING AROUND THE DISCREPANCY BETWEEN WHAT THEY PUT IN THEIR SCHEDULE FOR THE TIME OF THE BILLS AND WHAT THE ACTUAL TIME OF THE POLES ENDED UP BEING.

[02:40:03]

AND THEN THEM ASKING OR STATING THAT WAS BEYOND OUR CONTROL SO THEREFORE WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT SCHEDULE ♪ I SENT YOU THE DATES WE CAN ALREADY SEE THE POLES AT WORK.

INSTALLING BUSINESS THEN YOU KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO GET A POLL AND IF YOU ARE NEW TO THE BUSINESS LIKE IF I WENT TO GO OUT AND DO POLES I WOULD HAVE GUESSED 75 DAYS BECAUSE WHY NOT THAT'S PLENTY OF TIME TO BE IN THAT ORDER I WOULD GO 180 DAYS OR WHATEVER BUT IF YOU WERE IN THE BUSINESS OF DOING THAT I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU SCREW THAT DATE UP PERSONALLY.

I DON'T REMEMBER THAT'S OUR PROBLEM.

WHY EVEN HAVE A DEADLINE IF HE HAS TO BUILD A HOUSE AND HE HAS THREE MONTHS AND HE CAN'T COME BACK LATER AND GO THEY HAD A SHORTAGE ON TWO BY FOURS I'M NOW IN TWO MONTHS BEHIND.

WILL HAVE TO EITHER. >> IN THE CONTRACT IT DID ALLOW FOR 75 DAYS OF LEAD TIME ON THE INVOICE IS THAT CORRECT PLEASE

MY RECOLLECTION. >> HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE

APPROXIMATELY? >> WHO IS THE ONE TALKING ON THE PHONE WHEN WE WERE DOING THIS THAT WAS CALLED IN PRE.

>> NICE TO MEET YOU ALL I ACTUALLY WAS ON SPEAKING NOT THE PAST MEETING BUT TWO MONTHS AGO. FIRST OF ALL IF YOU'RE TALKING TO A I. JUST WANT TO GIVE RECOGNITION TO YOUR STAFF BECAUSE I'VE BEEN TO CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS AND YOUR STUFF IS DOING A BIG AMOUNT OF WORK LOOK I'M NOT THAT BIG AMOUNT OF PEOPLE I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT TELLS YOU THAT BUT I THINK YOUR STAFF IS DOING A GREAT JOB DEALING WITH A LOT. KUDOS FOR THAT.

I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT TO YOU.

>> I HAVE A SPECIFIC QUESTION. I UNDERSTAND BUT I THINK OVERALL THAT IN THE CONTRACT THERE WAS A SCHEDULE POTENTIAL DELAY OF 75

DAYS NEXT SPECIAL PROVISIONS. >> SO HOW MANY DAYS DOES IT TAKE

TO PROCURE THOSE MASKS PRE. >> THE DELAY TIME ON THE LEAD TIME AFTER APPEAL WAS PROVIDED TO OUR VENDOR, WAS 160 DAYS.

>> SO THE CONTRACT WAS 75. REALITY WAS 168.

>> 24 WEEKS. YES, SIR,.

>> THE CONTRACT WAS 75 IN REALITY WAS 168.

WHY DOES THE CITY HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT DELAY IN THE CONTRACT SAID 75? WHY SHOULD THAT CONSEQUENCE BE

ON THE CITY CONTRACT OR PRE. >> SO THIS IS OUR FIRST TIME DOING BUSINESS WITH THE CITY. AS WE SAY BEFORE YOU HAVE OTHER CONTRACTORS THAT PROBABLY HAVE MORE TIME WORKING WITH YOU GUYS AND THEY ALREADY KNOW WHAT YOU LIKE AND WHAT YOU WANT TO.

IN THIS INDUSTRY ONCE AGAIN IF YOU DON'T THINK ABOUT IT VERY MUCH FOR SMALL MODIFICATIONS BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY THEY TAKE INTO ACCOUNT MANUFACTURING SIDE IF I PROCURE AS CONTRACTOR A PIECE OF MATERIAL IS THE MAJOR PART OF THIS CONTRACTING SPECIFIC AND THOSE 24 WEEKS WE COULD SAY 24 WEEKS FROM WHEN WE WERE SAYING CONTRACT WITH YOU WITH THE CITY AND THE INSPECTOR INSPECTS THEM IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S NOT SOMETHING 100% AS PER THE CITY SPECS OR REQUIREMENTS WE HAVE TO LET AN ADDITIONAL DELAY AND THAT'S WHEN 60 DAYS TIMES TWO.

BUT THAT BEING SAID WE HAVE A QUALITY WHERE EVEN IF YOU ARE A CUSTOMER FOR MORE THAN 15 YEARS AND YOU KNOW WHAT AND ACTUALLY IF YOU LOOK AT THE EVENTS AND SEND ANOTHER EARLIER IN THE CITY CHANGE A COUPLE OF LETTERS DURING THE CONTRACT YOU WOULD SEE THAT IN THE PRE-CON MEETING THERE WAS 34 DAYS AFTER THE SIGNING OF CONTRACT WE DEVISED IN THE TIMES THAT WE SEE THE

[02:45:01]

INDUSTRY FOR US PERSONALLY I'M WITH MANUFACTURING CENTER DURING WE WORK WITH US 24 DAYS. WE RAISED THAT CONCERN BEFORE IT STARTED. ONE OF THE CHANGES WE HAVE IS OBVIOUSLY THAT DELAY. ONCE AGAIN WE DIDN'T START THE PROJECT WITHOUT ACTUALLY GETTING SOME DIRECTION FROM CITY STAFF.

BECAUSE IT WAS THE VERY FIRST TIME WE WORKED WITH YOU GUYS WITH THE CITY. SO WE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT YOU EXPECT FROM US AND GO FROM THERE.

>> YOU WERE SAYING THAT THE PRE-CON YOU LET THE CITY KNOW THERE'S LONGER LEAD TIMES FOR POLES CURRENTLY.

>> THAT'S PART OF THE AGENDA. WELL DOCUMENTED.

>> THAT WAS 34 DAYS AFTER WE GOT THE EVENT.

>> AFTER WE SIGNED THE CONTRACT. DID THE MARKET CHANGE IN THE TIME FRAME WE SUBMITTED A BID 21 THE BID HAD THE PRECONCRETE THE MARKET DIDN'T CHANGE WE PUT IN A LOT OF TIMES IN THE BID WHEN YOU DID IT TO BEGIN WITH PREWHY DO SHORT WINDOW BID KNOWING THE LEAD TIMES WERE LONGER THAN THE, WIN THE BID AND THEN GO TO THE PRE-CON AND GO BY THE WAY EVERY TIME IS LONGER THAN WHAT WE PUT IN THE CONTRACT THAT FEELS LIKE A BAIT AND SWITCH TO WHERE WE CAN DO IT FASTER WE CAN DO OTHER THINGS AS SOON AS WE WIN THE DEAL YOU ALREADY KNOW WE'RE STILL IN BEAUTIFUL WHEN TIMES WERE LONGER SO YOU COME BACK AND SAY, HEY, BY THE WAY LONGER TIMES, WANTED HIM TO HIS POINT HE PUTS ON BECAUSE YOU TOLD US YOU KNEW THEY WERE LONGER BEFORE YOU BID ON IT AND YOU BID A SHORT DATE AND THEN RAISE IT TO US AS CONSTRUCTION NEEDING AND THEN WE WERE SAYING WHY IS THAT OUR PROBLEM.

SEEMS LIKE WE WHY IS THAT A NEW PROBLEM IT SOUNDS LIKE AND YOU SHOULDN'T BE USING 75 DAYS BUT MORE THAN 60 OR WHERE IT WAS.

>> I DON'T KNOW IF THAT QUESTION HAS BEEN ANSWERED, NOT THAT I DON'T THINK THE QUESTION HAS ANSWERED TO ME BUT WE JUST YOU UNDERSTAND IF THE CONTRACT SAYS 75 DEGREES.

YOU DIDN'T. ANY DELAY, COST AND CURRENT THERE IS NOT ON THE CITY OF. 34 DAYS AND WE DECIDED OUR DELAYS ARE DIFFERENT THAN WE SHOULD COME BACK AND WE CAN AMENDMENT THAT CHANGE ORDER HERE BUT INCORPORATING THOSE TODAY.

THAT BUT GOING FORWARD AND THAT'S THE MAYOR HAS SAID THE MARKET HASN'T CHANGED IN 75 DAYS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 75 DAYS TO BEGIN WITH YOU STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND IF THERE WAS A LEGAL OR COMPANY YOU THAT THE CITY OF HUTTO SHOULD PAY FOR THE CONTRACTOR DID NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT.

>> SO IF YOU LET ME READ A COUPLE OF LINES OF THAT ESPECIALLY PROVISION PRETTY MUCH SAYS THE CONTRACTOR ALLOWS 75 DAYS FOR ACQUISITION AND CSF SUPPLIERS HAVE A LONGER LEAD TIME THE CONTRACTOR SHALL INFORM THE PROMPTLY FURTHERMORE UNDER THE STANDARDS AND CONDITIONS OF THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT ARTICLE 4.05 C THE CONTRACTOR IS ENTITLED TO EQUITABLE ADJUSTMENT AND CONTRACT TERMS WHEN IT'S DELAYED BY ANTICIPATED CAUSES THE UNCONTROLLABLE CONTRACTOR. IS A OUT OF THEIR CONTROL AND AFFECTS THE PROJECT. SPECIAL PROVISION TALKS ABOUT IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S BECAUSE OF MANUFACTURER OVER THE MARKET, WE ARE ENTITLED TO GET THAT EXTRA TIME.

IN THIS CASE WE ARE NOT INCURRING EXTRA COSTS FOR THE CITY WE WERE JUST ASKING FOR ADDITIONAL DAYS I'M NOT ASKING FOR A OF WHAT INSTIGATED THE IS VALID BUT TO ME BECAUSE SOMETHING IS BETTER FOR THE CITY THAT MODIFIES OR SHOULD BE MODIFIED IN THE CONTRACT, THE CONTRACT IS NOT MODIFIED IN THE

ORIGINAL CONTRACT. >> YOU SAID THE WORD UNANTICIPATED. BUT IT WASN'T UNANTICIPATED AS 100% ANTICIPATED BECAUSE WHEN YOU BID THE PROJECT OUT YOU BID 75 DAYS IT'S REALLY BEEN 68 KIEV SO I WOULD SAY I AGREE WITH SPECIAL PROVISION IT'S UNANTICIPATED DELAY.

YOU SHOULD GET THE TIME BUT SINCE YOU BID THE PROJECT NORMALLY THE TIME IS DOUBLED PUT IN THE CONTRACT WHETHER YOU NEED THE DAY YOU PUT THE BID IN 160 SOMETHING DAYS.

SO THAT'S WHY I'M SO FAR I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU'RE SAYING OTHER THAN YOU ARE SAYING NOW IT'S UNANTICIPATED WHEN YOU'VE

[02:50:03]

ALSO SAID IT WOULD BE THAT TIME. >> I HAVE A QUESTION CAN YOU, ASSUME I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT CONSTRUCTION KIT THAT'S THE 320-0043 MAYBE I MISSED IT BECAUSE MY BRAIN IS GOING OVER THINGS SO THE 32 KIT CAN ANSWERS BUT WHAT IT'S ACTUALLY FOR IS NOT FOR DELAYED IN TIME IT'S FOR OTHER ITEMS THAT THE LEGITIMATE CHANGE ORDERS FOR THE PROJECT AND THE NOT EXPENSE OF THAT IS 32,000. THE DAYS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT WE'RE NOT PAYING FOR THOSE, BUT THEY ARE PAYING FOR THOSE IN LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. SO THAT'S BASICALLY THE 32,000 GOES TO THEM FOR THE ITEMS THAT ARE ACTUALLY IN THE CHANGE ORDER LIST. AND WE WILL HOLD THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FROM THE CONTRACT AND MAKE FUN OF WHAT'S CONTESTED IS

223 DAYS. >> IS 32,000 SOMETHING YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE CHANGE ORDER IS? I'M CONFUSED WHAT WHY WE WERE SEEING IT NOW.

>> WAS HOLDING THE CHANGE ORDERS UNTIL WE WERE GETTING THIS RESOLVED AND NEGOTIATED AGREEMENT WE CALLED BACK IN NOVEMBER TIME FRAME WE WERE TALKING ABOUT POTENTIALLY OUTSTANDING CHANGE ORDERS THAT WE WERE NEGOTIATING AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THE PROJECT TO A POINT OF BEING." THERE WERE ADDITIONS AND SUBTRACTIONS EVEN THEN THERE'S A NUMBER OF CHANGE ORDERS BUT CHANGE ORDER TWO WAS THE ONE THEY WERE ASKING FOR THE THE ADDITIONAL FIELD THAT'S WHAT WE ARE SAYING SHOULD NOT BE APPROVED.

>> SPEAKER-09:NESSAHOLIC YOU WHAT ARE THE CHANGE ORDERS FOR

THE WAITING FOR. >> WE ARE NOT PAYING FOR THAT

CHANGE. >> INTERPRETER:

>> CHANGE ORDER ONE AND THIS IS BASICALLY A MEETING DIRECTLY FROM THE BACK UP GYM CHANGE ORDER ONE WAS THE START DATE MOVING TO AFTER PRE-CON SO CHANGE FROM START COUNTING CURRENTLY IF THAT WAS 34 DAY AWARD CONTRACT PRICE CHANGE.

[CHEERING] CHANGE ORDER TWO WE TALKED ABOUT. CHANGE ORDER THREE GOT REMOVED CHANGE ORDER FOR DOES IT CHANGE TO THE SOUTHWEST POLE SO THAT'S THE ONE WE HIT THE PIPELINE ONE FOR THE 10 THERE WAS A GAS PIPELINE AND I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THERE SO THAT WAS BOTH A TIME DELAY BUT ONLY SEVEN DAYS TO FIND A COST $4800 AND CHANGE ORDER FIVE GOT ♪ ♪ BECAUSE WE DIDN'T AGREE WITH THAT OR WE DIDN'T DO IT, CHANGE ORDER SIX WAS THE REPLACEMENT THAT WAS ONE DAY FOR THE ILLUMINATED SIGN AND WE DID GIVE THEM CREDIT FOR THAT. WE GOOFED UP AND GAVE THEM THE WRONG ONE OF THE WORLD AND THEY HAD THE WRONG SPEC SO WE HAD TO REDO THE SONG AND THAT WAS THE DAY THAT THEY WERE $5700 TO THE THE COMMUNITY SIGNING PLACE KIEV CHANGE ORDER SEVEN WAS 77 DAYS FOR ELECTRICAL SERVICE THINKS THAT DEVIATED FROM THE PLANS AND PREDOMINANTLY AS THE PLANS WERE DESIGNED WITH OVERHEAD POWER COMING IN AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN UNDERGROUND PER CITY SPECIFICATIONS CHANGE FROM OVERHEAD TO UNDERGROUND THE 77 DAY DELAY ON $22,000. WHEN YOU ADD THOSE NUMBERS UP THAT'S HOW YOU GET TO 32,000 AND SAID UNDERGROUND.

>> NO PROBLEMS WE WERE TO PROVIDE THE NUMBER AND THE PROTOCOL AND WHENEVER THEY STARTED TO BUILD ONCE THEY WERE ALREADY UNDER CONTRACT THAT'S WHEN IT WAS RECOGNIZED THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN IN THE THINGS THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE

BEEN DEALING WITH UNDERGROUND. >> WE HAD 17 CHANGE.

[SINGING] EVIDENCE ON OUR SIDE AND FROM SOME OF THOSE DIFFERENT THINGS ON OUR SIDE AND WE HIGHLIGHTED

THOSE. >> THAT CONCERN TO HOW MUCH CREDIT WE WERE GETTING FOR LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.

>> WE WERE GIVING THEM $32,000 THEY'VE ASKED FOR IN THE CHANGE ORDER ON THE FLOOR THAT'S APPROPRIATE FOR SOME DEGREE IN MY MIND OF DISAGREEMENT AS HOW MANY DAYS OF LIQUIDATED DAMAGES WE ARE GOING TO APPLY ARE ORIGINALLY 77 DAYS REQUESTED FOR 754 DAYS REQUESTED IN THE REVIEW OF THE CHANGE ORDERS STAFF WAS CONSIDERING FOR SOME DUPLICATE ORDERS PLACED DOUBLE COUNTED SO

[02:55:04]

THAT WAS REDUCED COUNCIL MEMBER PORTERFIELD WELL WE JUST SEE THIS NOW THERE ARE SOME OUTSTANDING AN IN CONSIDERATION OF HOW THE CHANGE ORDERS WE'RE GOING TO RESOLVE WHAT THE DAMAGES WE'RE GOING TO LOOK LIKE IN ANTICIPATION OF WANTING TO

HAVE TO GO CHASE THOSE DOLLARS. >> HOW MANY DAYS ARE YOU GOOD WITH BEING CONTINUOUS WELL YOU'RE ASKING 53 DEGREES HOW

MANY DAYS. >> WE'RE DISCUSSING 3-FOOT.

I BELIEVE IF WE GET TO A NUMBER OF $20,400 ON THIS.

>> REPORTER: . AND WITH 80 GS EXTRA AND SOME CHANGE ORDER TO THAT WILL BE RELEASED CHECK WHAT THEY ALREADY DO TO US AND CHANGE ORDER TO WE'LL BE ON TIME IF THE EASEMENT FOR DAMAGES WILL BE CHARGED FOR THIS PROJECT.

>> YOU GUYS THANK YOU DID A LONG TIME IF YOU GET THE DAYS IT WON'T KNOW THE FOOT OF WHAT DATE DID WE SAY THE SIGNAL WAS WE THINK WE GREEN YELLOW RED I THINK YOU'RE DOING IT AS FLASH

CHECK THAT WAS THE MAIN CALL. >> WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN IT WAS BIG ON SOCIAL MEDIA. IT WAS ALMOST LIKE A RESTAURANT.

IT WAS ON APRIL SEVENTH. YOU WON THE BID IN MARCH.

YOU HAD A CONSTRUCTION MEETING IN THE AND SO TOOK 11 MONTHS TO GET THE LIGHTS FLASHING ON. IS THAT RIGHT?

>> IT WAS IN MAY 29TH 2025 SURE HIT HIM FOR 53 DAYS OF WORK FOR DAMAGES. 53 DAYS.

MOTION TO APPROVE THE CHANGE VOTE FOR $0.32,921 -53 DAYS IN THE PHOTO THAT DAMAGES FOR EXPERIENCE SECONDARY SECONDED BY MORTON PORTERFIELD. 11 MINUTES FOR A SIGNAL IF YOU WOULD HAVE COME OUT AND SAID WE CAN DO 20 DAYS I. WOULD FEEL LIKE OKAY THAT'S WORTH BUT IF YOU'RE AT ZERO AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE DONE 120 DAYS OR WHATEVER AND IT TOOK YOU 11 MONTHS AND WE FELT LIKE I. THINK WE WERE BEING GENEROUS 33 DAYS 50 NOT ENOUGH MONEY ON THIS ONE BUT PEOPLE ARE GETTING IN CALEXICO.

BAD ONES VOTING FOR THIS, WE'RE NOT CHARGING YOU FOR THAT.

IS OUR TALKING TO SOMEBODY AND I THOUGHT HE WOULD WALK OVER AND

START FIRING OFF. >> IF IT WAS A SCHEMATIC.

>> LET'S CALL THE VOTE. >> I BELIEVE YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A PICTURE IN DENVER CENTER POINT AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU WERE ON A CUSTOMER AND THIS WAS OUR FIRST TIME MAKING BUSINESS WITH YOU. I THINK WE HAVE A LOT OF ADDENDUMS I. SEE ATTORNEYS AND THE STAFF BECAUSE I TRULY BELIEVE NOBODY IN COUNSEL LOOKED AT THEM AND WE WERE TRYING TO BE COLLABORATIVE WE'RE TRYING TO BE COLLABORATIVE IN ORDER TO GET AN OPERATION EXCELLENCE AND EFFICIENCY IF YOU THINK THE FIRST TIME WE WORKED WITH THE CITY CONTRACTOR IN THE STATE DOING THIS BUSINESS. WE ARE IN RIGHT OF WAY.

WE'RE IN UNION STATE AND THAT COMES WITH CHALLENGES.

I'M PRETTY SURE WE COULD DO MUCH BETTER.

BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE I ALSO WE HAVE BEEN POLITE AND BEEN DILIGENT ON ALL THE TIME COMING THE CITY STAFF.

WITH THAT BEING SAID I DON'T FAIR FROM OUR POINT OF VIEW TO 2002 CONSIDERATION. EVERYTHING COMES FOUR COLLABORATIVE AND CONSTRUCTIVE FOR THE FUTURE.

ONE MORE THING I WANT TO SAY TO YOU IS THAT THE STAFF DOESN'T HAVE A FULL TIME SUSPENSION. CITY STAFF CAN ONLY WORK WITH CHANGEOVERSES BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY HAS TO COME THROUGH YOUR APPROVAL. AT THE END OF THE DAY IT'S REFERENCE REVIEWING SIGNALING AND THE STATE THAT YOU HAVE THAT TOOL OF TIME SUSPENSION AND AGAIN IT'S A SUGGESTION FROM OUR

[03:00:05]

FROM ON MAY BE CONSIDERED A TOOL FROM THE FUTURE BECAUSE I JUST WANT TO GIVE SOME FLEXIBILITY FOR ANY OTHER PARTIES NOT ANY

[10.10. Consideration and possible action on Resolution No. R-2026-163 authorizing the City Manager to execute an Artist Ownership and Limited Use Agreement with Charlene Martindale for the design and creation of 150th City Anniversary commemorative coins. (James Earp)]

POSSIBLE ACTION R-1226-163 AUTHORIZING CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE UNLIMITED USE AGREEMENT OF SHIRLEY MARTIN FOR DESIGN AND CREATION OF 150TH CITY ANNIVERSARY COMMEMORATIVE COINS AND SPEAK ON THAT ITEM PLEASE CALL.

>> COUNCIL CHARLES THE 150TH ON THE COMMITTEE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE REGARDING THIS AGENDA ITEM.

[03:05:09]

>> I PULLED THIS BECAUSE I FIND MYSELF IN A WEIRD POSITION BECAUSE HOW MUCH DO WE APPROVE TO GIVE TO YOU GUYS.

>> SPEAKER-09: 2000 YOU GUYS RAISING 20, SO MAYBE I'M BEING OVERLY. THAT'S NOT UNCOMMON BUT I FEEL LIKE WE HAD A COMMITTEE PUT TOGETHER TO DO THE 1/50 CELEBRATION AND NOW WE HAVE PART OF THE COMMITTEE SAYING I CREATED SOMETHING I WANT TO MAINTAIN ARTISTIC ENDEAVORS CONTROL OVER BECAUSE WELL YOU GUYS ARE PUTTING IN SOME SPENDING MONEY I MAY HAVE A WAY TO MAKE MONEY OFF OF THIS AND I FOUND THAT FOR WHAT BECAUSE WE'VE GOT THE THE THE I.

CAME UP WITH THEM I WAY TO CAPITALIZE ON THAT AND THE CITY CAN ONLY USE THAT A SHORT. OF TIME THEY GET TO MAKE THE MONEY I. JUST THINK THIS IS A WEIRD DEAL.

VERY ODD PRECEDENT SETTING AND NOW PEOPLE VOLUNTEERING FOR US DOING THINGS AND WE'LL START PUTTING DOWN MONEY.

>> I UNDERSTAND I GUESS YOUR CONCERNS AND I WILL TRY TO EXPLAIN TO CLARIFY. SO 150TH COMMITTEE IS CREATING 150 INDIVIDUAL COINS WE ARE NOT GOING TO CREATE A SURPLUS OF COINS AND CREATING 151 OR SOMEONE SOUTH TEXAS CAN GET ONE WHATEVER WE'RE MAKING AN EXTRA SPECIAL COMMEMORATIVE ITEM FOR THE EVENT HERE WE'RE USING THE FUNDS TO FRONT THE COSTS TO GET THEM CREATED. WE'LL BE SELLING THEM FOR THE COST PLUS SOME ADDITIONAL MONEY THAT WILL THEN BE PUT BACK INTO THE FUND HERE SO THAT'S A CLEAR THING THAT AVENUE OF WHAT'S BEEN DONE. VENDOR IS THE COST US TO PAY THE OTHERS AND FOR THE MATERIALS SO FULL PRODUCTION SO THEN THAT MONEY WILL BE REPLENISHED PLUS SOME EXTRA REVENUE EXTRA MONEY THAT YOU CHARGE PEOPLE WHO PURCHASE THEM ON THE OTHER SIDE ARTISTS AGREEMENT IS FOR JUST THE COIN ONLY IF IT'S NOT FOR THE LOGO THAT CHARLENE DID CREATE BECAUSE SHE CREATED A BEAUTIFUL LOGO EVERYBODY LOVES. SO IT'S NOT FOR THAT LOGO.

SHE'S NOT SEEKING ANY RIGHTS FOR THAT.

IT'S JUST FOR THE COIN NODE AND TO REPLICATE THAT SO SHE WANTS TO BE ABLE TO BACK TO THIS HUNDRED AND 50 INDIVIDUAL COINS WOULD BE OUT OF BRONZE NICE BUT SHE WANTS TO CREATE AFTER THE 150TH EVENT ON NOVEMBER 14TH MAGNUSSON CHANGED THE LOGO SLIGHTLY. HAS NOTICED YOU CAN DO THAT IN ANYBODY CAN DO THAT CAN'T TAKE HER LOGO AND CHANGE IT AND SAY THAT'S THE WRONG. UNFORTUNATELY THAT'S HOW THINGS WORK THESE DAYS IF. BUT SHE'S GOING TO CHANGE IT AND IT WOULDN'T BE THE BRONZE COIN AND SHE WOULD CHANGE IT AND MAKE THE MAGNETS ON AN INCH OR SOMETHING VERY SIMPLE TO THEN SELL FOR THE HOLIDAYS POTENTIALLY SHE WOULD DONATE PROFITS BACK TO HUTTO ARTS SO THAT'S YOUR PLAN AS A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER IF YOU DON'T IN MY OPINION HERE TO MAKE MIL MILLIONS. BUT THAT'S MY OPINION I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS OF. BUT WE DO HAVE DIFFERENT AVENUES AND AS FAR AS THE AGREEMENT THIS IS JUST FOR APPROACHING COUNCIL AND THE CITY IN GOOD FAITH SO SEEKING APPROVAL TO DO THAT.

>> IF WE CAN DO ALL THAT. >> POTENTIALLY THIS.

>> SHE LOVES OUR COMMUNITY AND SHE'S BEING A GOOD STEWARD AND SHE LOVES HOW SHE'S SEEKING OUT APPROVAL FROM COUNCIL.

>> COULD I COME UP WITH SOMETHING TO SELL AND TALK YOU GUYS INTO IT AND THEN I'LL MAKE THE CITY REIMBURSE ME FOR THE FIRST 200 OF THEM BUT AFTER THAT UNTIL THIS WEEKEND IF I SELL 5000 OF THEM ARE GOING TO PORTION OF PROFITS COULD.

>> NO PROBLEM AND JIM COMES UP WITH SOME CRAZY IDEA HE'S GOING TO MAKE SOMETHING AND GERALD STARTS DOING IT AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT THE CITY PAID $20,000 WHICH I THOUGHT WE WERE DOING IT

[03:10:03]

AND YOU GUYS WERE GOING TO INSTALL STUFF ON IT FOR TO MAKE IT BIGGER WITH ALL THIS STUFF TO MAKE IT BIGGER ISN'T TO MAKE IT BIGGER. TO MAKE OTHER PEOPLE BIGGER AND I DON'T MIND MONEY BEING DONATED TOWARDS PEOPLE BUT I MEAN IF WE ARE THE ONES WHO PAID $20,000 PER YEAR I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO BE SELLING OUR PIECES AND BUTTONS AND ALL THESE CONTESTS ALL THE RAISE MONEY TO MAKE IT BIGGER AND BETTER AND NOW IT'S THIS IS THE FIRST ONE WHERE I FEEL LIKE IF WE VOTE FOR THIS THE NEXT ONE IS GOING TO BE YOU KNOW ACTUALLY DOING THIS BECAUSE IT HAPPENED WITH US TODAY, SOME OF US FELT LIKE WE PAID FOR PAINTING ONLY TO HAVE A COMMISSION COME UP AND GO IF YOU WANT TO KEEP IT YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT AGAIN.

I WAS LIKE I THOUGHT PEOPLE -- >> I DISAGREE THAT IT IS TO POTENTIALLY GIVE HIM ADVANTAGE TO A BUSINESS I. JUST DISAGREE WITH THAT LIKE I. SAID SHE VOLUNTEERS AND CONTINUES TO VOLUNTEER SHE'S VERY ACTIVE MEMBER ON THE 150TH.

SHE JUST WANTS TO BE A GOOD STEWARD AND BRING SABRINA TO THE CITY AND OF COURSE THE CITY COUNCIL.

I ASK FOR YOUR FAVORABLE ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT SURE BUT I DO UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS BUT EITHER WAY WE ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE 150 QUEENS FOR THE CELEBRATIONS, YEAH, A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS AND I APPRECIATE SHELDON'S EFFORT.

SHE'S AMAZING ARTIST AND CONTINUES TO VOLUNTEER AND I'M SURE SHE WILL IN THE FUTURE WHAT WAS THE INTENTION OF HAVING ONLY

150 LIMITED EDITION COINS? >> COMMEMORATIVE COIN.

150. I THINK THAT'S REASONABLE IF YOU

HAVE SOMETHING SPECIAL AS WELL. >> THIS AGREEMENT SAYS THESE INDEPENDENTLY PRODUCED ARTISTS NEVER THEIR PRODUCTS MAY BE SOL.

>> SHE WILL NOT BE CREATING THANKS FOR HAVING ANY EDITION OF SOMETHING SPECIAL BUT IF I CAN GO GET A KNOCK OFF OVER HERE AT EVEN GREATER PRICE KIND OF DILUTES A LIMITED EDITION

ASPECT. >> IT WILL BE CHANGED SO IT WON'T BE THAT BRONZE. I SENT AN EMAIL REAL QUICK PRIOR, THERE'S NO IMAGE. I PATCH SOME STUFF HERE SO IT'S A BRONZE. THAT'S A CHANGE BECAUSE SHE SAID SHE WOULD 3D PRINT THEM SO THAT'S WHAT THEY TOLD US JUST

BECAUSE I BROUGHT. >> , OUT OF FIVE STARS THEY HAVE

BEEN CREATED. >> BEFORE I SAID WHY DON'T WE MAKE A CHALLENGE COIN AND SHE SAID NO I'M GOING TO 3D PRINT I HAVE A MACHINE HE FEELS LIKE THAT'S ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE

WAYS TO MAKE THINGS. >> MY UNDERSTANDING IS THERE IS A MOULD OF SOME SORT SHE'S USING A MOULD AND ROSINS FROM SUITABLE FOR HER DEFINITION SO SHE SAID TWO THINGS THAT DROVE.

WANT TO DO SOME PILOT THINGS TO. >> IT'S A SINGLE MOULD NOT EACH

INDIVIDUAL ORDER. >> WHO PAID FOR THE MOLDS TO BE CREATED WHO YOU SAID PART OF THE MONEY WAS PAID TO GET.

>> SO THE INITIAL START UP FOR YOU TO SAY, HEY, WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS PROJECT I BELIEVE IT WAS $250 TO GET STARTED WITH THE PROJECT HAS BEEN PAID FROM HOT FUNDS.

>> MY OTHER QUESTION WAS GOING TO BE I DON'T HAVE A BIG ISSUE WITH HER BEING ABLE, DOESN'T SEE HERE THAT THERE WOULD BE A PORTION OF IT DONATED TO OTHER CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS IT DOESN'T STATES UP HERE. THAT MAKES IT MORE APPEALING TO ME IS THAT WE'RE GONNA NEED OR WHATEVER THE ISSUE IS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF IT DOES GET DONATED BACK TO WHOEVER WHATEVER GROUP OF 150S OF SILENCE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT INTO THE

AGREEMENT IF THAT MAKES IT MORE. >> YEAH, SHE IS WILLING.

>> IS NOT HEARING LOADING. >> SPEAKER-09: , GOING TO ADD THAT TO I. THINK SHOVELING WOULD BE FURTHER TO THAT IF YOU SOUNDS CONTROL THAT'S FAVORABLE TO THAT KIND OF AGREEMENT.

>> UNDERSTAND WHAT'S THE POINT OF HAVING AN AGREEMENT WITH.

[03:15:02]

SHE CAN DO IT ANYWAY. LIKE THE WAY THIS IS SET UP YOU ARE SAYING THAT THAT WORK IS GOING TO CHANGE THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS SAYS HERE YOU SAID WHEN SHE GOES TO MAKE A DECISION TO CHANGE SOME. CAN CHANGE.

>> IT ♪ >> THAT'S NOT WHAT THE AGREEMENT WITH THE ARTIST RETAINS ALL COUPLINGS REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS COMMERCIAL RIGHTS AND OWNERSHIP ASSOCIATED WITH WITH THE DESIGN.

OTHERWISE ♪ ♪ AND THE DESIGN IS COMMEMORATIVE ARTWORK THE SCULPTOR DESIGN CATHÉDRALE FILES FOR ALL RELATED TO THEIR OWN IT SAYS BASED UPON EVOLUTION ARTWORK PURCHASED CRAFTS SUCH EVIDENCE MAY DIFFER SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE MAY DIFFER WHAT I'M GETTING AT IS MEMORABLE OWNERSHIP DIFFERENCE WITH THE DESIGN THIS.

COIN AS YOU SEE IT WHICH HAS A LOGO AND IT GOES DOWN INTO IF WE APPROVE SHELDON KEEPS THAT THING TO ONLY ALLOWED TO USE IT FOR THE EVENT AND THAT'S IT YOU CAN'T USE THE LOGO EVER AGAIN.

>> YOU CAN USE THE LOGO. THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE LOGO BUT

ABOUT THE COIN AND THE COIN. >> THAT'S NOT THE BLUEPRINT

SAID. >> IT SAYS IN THE BEGINNING OWNERSHIP AND DESIGN COMMEMORATIVE COIN ARTWORK LAYOUT SCULPTORS DESIGN DIGITAL FILES MOLDS CAPITAL AND RELATIVE, RELATED CREATIVE ELEMENTS SO THIS IS ONE OF THE RELEVANT I THINK ABOUT THIS BEING A RESPONSIBILITY OF HUTTO AND CELEBRATION COMMITTEE THE NON-EXCLUSIVE LICENSE TO CITIZEN SOLELY FOR PURPOSES DIRECTLY RELATED TO OFFICIAL 100/50 CELEBRATION INCLUDING EVENT PROMOTIONS MATERIALS DISTRIBUTION AND THAT'S IT YOU'RE DONE.

WE PAID FOR STUFF ADVERTISING ALL THIS AND THINK OF ALL THE BANNERS AND POSTERS EVERYTHING WE ARE PUTTING A LOGO ON AND ONCE THE EVENT IS OVER WE ARE DONE WE CAN'T USE IT ANYMORE BUT SHE GETS TO USE THE LOGO TO PROFIT IN THE FUTURE AND ACCORDING TO THIS AGREEMENT IF YOU'RE IS ONLY FOR THE FIRST.

SO WE CAN'T USE IT NEXT YEAR TO GO HOME WE'RE WHIPPING IT BACK UP HERE I GUESS I JUST I'M STUCK ON I THIS TO ME IT OUGHT TO BE UP FRONT HERE AND SHE SAID SHE WANTS TO SMUGGLE THE BRANDS MORE POWER TO HER AND SOMEONE ELSE WANTS TO MAKE THEM MADE OUT OF WOOD I DON'T KNOW WHAT STOPS. PEOPLE NONPROFIT ALL THE TIME IF YOU ARE TRYING TO GET TO A PAID FOR INFORMATION BUT WHEN YOU GET TO USE A LIMITED TIME SHE SEES THE REST OF THE TIME AND WE ARE NOT STOPPING HER FROM USING. I AM WORRIED ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE EVERYBODY DOES IN A BETTER CONDITION BECAUSE YOU'RE ALL GOING TO WORK AND WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PUTTING IN CRAFTS EVERY TIME WE USE A LOGO BUT YOU'VE GOT TO PUT THAT IN EVERY POSTER EVERY POSTCARD, EVERY AD BECAUSE WHEN PRACTICAL REASONABLE I DON'T KNOW HOW REASONABLE IT IS TO TELL ABBEY AND HER PEOPLE TO PUT THIS ON EVERY SINGLE THING YOU DO WHICH WHEN WE PAY FOR OTHER STUFF THE SIGNS DON'T SAY OKAY THEY DON'T

HAVE THEIR NAME ON THERE. >> WOULD IT BE FAVORABLE TO YOURSELF AND THE COUNCIL IF WE WERE TO FUNDRAISE THE FULL COST OF THIS TO PAY FOR IT SOLELY, AND DO WHATEVER WE MAY WITH THE FUND-RAISING PORTION AND BRING THE AGREEMENT BACK TO YOU FOR

APPROVAL WE. >> SO THE CITY HAS NO COST, PLEASE SO THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY COST.

>> INTERPRETER: 20,001. >> JUST FOR THE COIN.

>> NOT FOR ME BECAUSE YOU ARE SO WANTING US TO PUT BANNERS UP, RUN STUFF ON THE COMMUNITY IMPACT AND DO ALL THIS STUFF AND SPEND ALL THIS MONEY FOR THAT LOGO AND THEN WE DON'T MAKE ANY MONEY ON THE LOGO IF SOMEBODY ELSE MAKES IT AND I APPRECIATE HER MAKING A LOGO BUT THE COIN IS THE LOGO.

OF ALL THIS WRITTEN. YOU CAN'T USE ANY OF THAT SHE WANTS TO MAKE COINS THE COINS. I DON'T KNOW I'D RATHER HAVE AN AGREEMENT THAT SAYS EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD CAN MAKE THESE COINS WE USE THIS LOGO HOWEVER, THEY WANT AND DO IT AND PEOPLE ARE

[03:20:02]

SELLING KOOZIES WITH THE LOCAL WE DON'T HAVE TO BUY THAT YOU GUYS AREN'T TRYING TO BUY I HATE THAT I. SD CHARGES A ROYALTY FEES DETECTORS PAID FOR THE IMAGE YOU HAVE TO PAY AGAIN UNTIL YOU OUGHT TO BE FREE OPEN SOURCE.

BUT JUST IN CASE I HAVE DRIPPING ARE BEING TOO TOUGH.

>> YOU CAN USE THE PUBLIC INSTITUTION.

>> I AGREE WITH YOU. >> I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO THIS BUT THEN TO MAKE IT A STRESS OVER THE CAREER SHELBY YOU CAN DO WHATEVER SHE WANTS TO DO WITH THE LOGO AND WE DON'T WANT TO STOP HER FROM DOING THANK YOU SHE SAID YOU GUYS NEED TO 150 COINS. WHATEVER SHE WANTS TO DO AFTER THAT T-SHIRTS COME CLOSE, WHATEVER.

>> YEAH, I DON'T THINK SHE HAS TIME WITH THAT.

>> IT WOULD BE AWESOME TO DO ALL OF THAT OR WHOEVER.

>> JUST FOR THE HOLIDAYS FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE THAT SPECIAL ONE THROUGH 153149 THINK OF THE INFORMATION THAT'S SOMETHING SIMPLE PURE BUT THE COIN WITH THE MAGNET ON THE BACK IF YOU PUT IT ON THE FRIDGE IF YOU SHE'S NOT TRYING TO BE OVER

THE TOP. >> THE CITY RETAINS THE RIGHTS

AND SO DOES ANYBODY ELSE. >> I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO THE.

>> THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION AND THE FUTURE POSSIBILITIES. ENTREPRENEURSHIP MOTION BY MAYOR SANDRA SECONDED BY COUNCILOR MORRIS DISCUSSION.

[12.3. Discussion and possible action regarding public concerns about CR 137 and 1660S construction project and upcoming start of school; including Brooklands road project. (Councilmember Morris)]

ITEM 123 IF NO OBJECTIONS ITEM 123 DISCUSSION POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING PUBLIC CONCERNS ABOUT CR 137 AND 1667 CONSTRUCTION PROJECT UPCOMING BROOKLYN ROAD PROJECT THANK YOU MAYOR.

I BROUGHT THIS UP BECAUSE A LOT OF THE CONSTITUENTS AND I GOT A LOT WHEN I TALK TO PEOPLE FROM'S SOME TEXT MESSAGING THROUGH ALL THE SOCIAL MEDIA STUFF JUST A LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT 137, 6067 PROJECTS ESPECIALLY WITH SCHOOL OPENING INFORMATION WE COVERED A LOT OF THAT ALREADY SO I JUST WANTED TO LET CITIZENS KNOW WE ARE LISTENING TO THE CONCERNS AND THERE ARE JUSTIFIABLE CONCERNS, AND I KNOW THAT PART OF THE ISSUE IS THE ISD DETENTION PLAN ISSUE I STOPPED WORK FOR APPROXIMATELY A MONTH OF. APPROXIMATELY I THINK THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING IS THAT THERE SOME ISSUES WITH THE DETENTION POND HAD TO BE REFERRED BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE CITY OF HUTTO. THOSE ISSUES HAVE BEEN WORKED OUT WITH THE DETAILS ARE ABOVE MY HEAD BUT AS YOU DIRECTOR BESIDES THAT WE ARE GOING TO DELAY THE CONSTRUCTION START UNTIL A WEEK AFTER SCHOOL STARTS SO HOPEFULLY THAT ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE CONCERNS OF THIS, THAT KIND OF SUMS UP THINGS FOR

CONTRACTOR. >> I UNDERSTAND MAYBE THERE WAS SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THE TRAFFIC FLOW AND THE CYCLING OF THE

[03:25:02]

LIGHT. WE ARE HAVING TRANSPORTATION ENGINEER FOR LIGHT CYCLING TO ENSURE TRAFFIC IS GETTING THROUGH APPROPRIATELY AND THE CONTRACTOR WILL HAVE SOME TO PROVIDING INPUT TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING TO INCORPORATE TO MAKE SURE THAT'S FUNCTIONING AS IT SHOULD THAT'S THE ULTIMATE GOAL BECAUSE I'M TALKING TO SAY THANKS WE'RE LISTENING TO AND HOPEFULLY THIS IS RESOLVED SOON END. THERE'S ANOTHER ITEM THAT I KNOW YOU MAY NOT REALIZE ABOUT THE SIDEWALK COMING FROM 1660 SOUTH.

SELINA AND KATE HAVE TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION WITH ADJOINING PROPERTY OWNER AND TO PUT IN A TEMPORARY PATHWAY TO ALLOW THE SIDEWALK TO CONTINUE TO FUNCTION BECAUSE YOU BASICALLY ARE PULLING UP FOR EXPANSION OF THE ROAD HERE SO THEY ARE

COORDINATING FOR THAT SO. >> SPEAKER-08: INSTEAD OF A

SITE THANK YOU THERE'S NO ♪ >> THAT'S WHERE IT ORIGINALLY DOES. HENRICO COUNTY PUT TEMPORARY SOLUTION DOWN THERE THAT'S GOING TO GET TORN UP SO WE CONTACTED THE PROPERTY OWNER AND MOVED THE SIDEWALK AND TO AVOID ANY CONFLICT WITH CONSTRUCTION. CONSTRUCTION PROGRESSIONS UP 137 WE CAN ADJUST THE CROSSWALK TO ALIGN WITH THE SIDEWALK ON THE

OTHER SIDE OF 137. >> THANK YOU FOR BEING SO

ACCOMMODATING. >> -THANK YOU BEHIND THE ROLLER PROJECTS AGAIN WHEN THE BUS STOPS ON THE ROAD AND TRY TO

MOVE IT AROUND. >> I THINK WE GOT ABOUT FOUR WE WERE TRYING TO USE THE POND AS A DRAINAGE AND IMPROVEMENT BECAUSE, BY THEM SAYING NO, THEY DON'T HAVE CARS THEY HAVE TO INCUR TO MAKE SURE THE DRAINAGE POND OPERATES THE WAY IT SHOULD

BE OPERATING. >> I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A VOTE COMING UP. WE WILL PUT IF THE TCE IS APPROVED BY THE DISTRICT WHICH IT SHOULD BE WE'LL PUT THE PONDS BACK TO THE STATE BUT THE ROOM. OUR BELIEF IS THEY WILL NOT PROPERLY SITUATED IN THE STATE THAT THEY WERE IN BUT WE ARE PUTTING THEM BACK THAT WE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WE NEED TO BE IMPROVEMENTS TO DETENTION PONDS

IN THE FUTURE. >> FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL TAXPAYERS THEY WOULD HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO FIX THE ISSUES AND IMPROVE THEM INSTEAD OF THIS PURE BUT THEY GOT ♪

♪ >> ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM SELENA I. THINK KATE COVERED IT DURING THE CIP DISCUSSION BUT WE SHOULD BE GETTING PLANS FOR THE REDESIGN BY PLAN AT LEAST FOR THE START OF THE FRONT OF THE MONTH OF DECEMBER WHICH IS WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO START AND HOPEFULLY END OF NEXT WEEK WE'LL HAVE THE REST OF THE PLANS.

ESSENTIALLY INFRASTRUCTURE DID NOT CHANGE WE WERE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE WHEN WE HAD WE JUST DID CHANGE SLIDES TO ACCOUNT FOR

PRESSURIZATION UPSTREAM SYSTEM. >> IS THERE A WAY WE CAN COMMUNICATE WITH THEM WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO MOVE THE PROJECT UP BECAUSE THAT'S AN EDC PROJECT AND EVERYBODY LIKES EDC PROJECTS BUT IF I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU BELIEVE THE CITY CAN'T INCENTIVIZE SOMEONE TO BE FASTER WORK FOR THE EDC TEAM INCENTIVIZE AND I THINK THIS IS AN THAT A MONTH PUSH UP IN THE SCHEDULE THEY WERE COMING BACK WITH A CHANGE ORDER.

>> THEY HAVE BEEN VERY RESPONSIVE AND THEY'RE WORKING INCREDIBLY HARD TO GET THIS GOING AND I THINK THEIR INTENTION IS TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO TRY TO MAINTAIN THE EXISTING SCHEDULE PARTICULARLY ON THE CALL ANSWERING QUESTIONS.

>> I FORGOT ABOUT KATE BEING THERE.

IF YOU WANT TO TALK GOOD AFTER HIM IF HE WANTS TO COMMUNICATE WITH KATE AND SELENA THAT IF THERE'S A WAY TO MOVE THE PROJECT UP WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE AND HOW TO WORK EXTRA WITH AND TALK TO SOME OF THE PEOPLE IN THE BOOK ROOM AN WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE A PROJECT THAT TAKES 12 MONTHS OR WOULD YOU RATHER ME

[03:30:02]

BE A WEEK OF REALLY TOUGH MONTHS NOW THAT I KNOW WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT GOT PEOPLE STIRRED UP.

>> YOU'RE ASKING FOR A SCHEDULE COMPRESSION CHANGE ORDER.

>> WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE COST WISE AND THEN DEPENDING ON WHAT THAT IS IT WOULD BE WORTH LOOKING AT.

>> VERY HAPPY TO ACCOMMODATE FOR NOW WE THINK IT'S THE RIGHT TIME SINCE FROM BOXES FOR THE STRUCTURES WHEN WE GET THE FUNDING AND OF COURSE WE'RE LOOKING TO ADDITIONAL RESOURCES ON THE PROJECT TO TRY TO MAINTAIN THAT INITIAL CONTRACT

SCHEDULE AS WELL. >> WHAT HE'S ASKING IS NOT ONLY COULD YOU LOOK AT MAINTAINING THE SCHEDULE BUT COME BACK AND SAY IF YOU WANT TO GET IT DONE EARLIER HERE'S WHAT IT WOULD TAKE SPIN THE CAPSULE ONCE AGAIN AND HAND OUT THE POCKET OF 13

AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO. >> RODNEY OUELLETTE FASTER IN SIX MONTHS ADDITIONAL TIME BECAUSE I NEED A SIGNAL FOR SO YOU MIGHT LIKE SOME CHANGE ORDERS IF IT MAKES THINGS A LITTLE FASTER, IMAGINE IF THE BROOKLYN PEOPLE GET OVER THERE FASTER AND SCHOOL WAS DONE. I DON'T THINK ANYBODY'S GOING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE CHANGE ORDER PROCESS AND SEE IF YOU UNDERSTAND THE URGENCY OF THE FOLKS ARE GOING TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO ACCOMMODATE RESOURCES AND TALK THAT THROUGH WITH

KATE WINSLET IN THE POD. >> FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BYE BYE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT SO THAT WILL CONTINUE ALL THE WAY THROUGH I. THINK SHE'S THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS FULLY AWARE AND TURN OFF WITH THAT AGREEMENT TODAY HOW ABOUT GETTING ON TO THE ADJACENT PROPERTY TO PUT ON THE SIDEWALKS DO THEM FOR THE DURATION OF THE PROJECT AND THAT WAY THAT'S FOR SURE CONSTRUCTION PROGRESSES THAT'S, WEST EAST CENTRAL CAN CHANGE FOR THE CROSSINGS DEPENDING ON WHERE TO GO BUT IT WILL BE DONE THROUGH LENGTH OF CONSTRUCTION.

OR SHORTENING IT. >> YOU GUYS DO GREAT COMMUNICATION BECAUSE WE ARE READY TO INES THORNBURG HAVE AN ISSUE POP UP AND I SEE SO MANY EMAILS COMING THROUGH MY WORKS LIKE GOING BACK AND FORTH OR THERE'S NO WAY YOU GOT ISD NOT GETTING COMMUNICATION THROUGH BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE DOING EXACTLY WHAT WAS COMMUNICATE EVERY SINGLE THING SO THANK YOU,

[11.1. Consideration and possible action on Ordinance No. O-2026-036 ordering a Special Election for November 3, 2026, to amend the Home Rule Charter of the City of Hutto, Texas; designate the propositions and manner of holding such election; and provide for the posting and publication of notice. (Laura Hallmark)]

TO ITEM 11 CONSIDERATION POSSIBLE ACTION ORDINANCE NUMBEL ELECTION FROM NOVEMBER THIRD 2026 TO A THE HONG KONG CHARTER OF CITY OF HUTTO, TEXAS, DESIGNATED PROPOSITIONS TO HOLDING SUCH ELECTION AND PROVIDE FOR THE POSTING THE

PUBLICATION OF NOTICE. >> CITY SECRETARY FOR THE RECORD IF YOU RECALL FROM CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION PRESENTATION OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS JULY SECOND THERE WERE FOUR PROPOSITIONS FOR THE VOTERS THAT OTHER SELECTIONS WERE FOR AND ADMINISTRATIVE OF CHANGE FOR TWO AT A FUTURE DATE AND SO THIS IS THE PROPOSITION FOR WHICH PROVIDED BY THE LEGAL COUNSEL FOR REVIEW AND THERE ARE FOUR PROPOSITIONS THE FIRST ONE IS REGARDING FILLING OF VACANCIES. ARE, I'M NOT GOING TO READ THEM

OUT SINCE THE LAST STATEMENT. >> KIEV AILISH FORFAR MR. STEVE MULTER IF THERE ARE ANY CHANGES OR ADDITIONS YOU WANT TO MAKE TO YOUR PREFERRED DO IT NEXT THURSDAY'S MEETING.

>> COUNCIL CAN PUT SOME STUFF OUT THERE IN THE MESSAGE THAT ABOUT ONE. I DIDN'T SEE ANYBODY ELSE'S BUT WEED LIKE TO BRING A COUPLE IDEAS BY THE COUNCIL.

>> I PUT SOMETHING OUT THERE REGARDING THE HOLDOVER LANGUAGE.

[03:35:11]

SOME STUFF IN THERE WAS DELETED AND WAS ROBB BOYD.

>> IF YOU WOULD HAVE CLICKED ON THE LINK IT SHOULD HAVE TAKEN IT TO IT. SO NOBODY COMMENTED ON IT SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DEAL WAS BUT BASICALLY HOLDOVER LANGUAGE IF I CAN REMEMBER TOP OF MY HEAD IS IF SOMEBODY FOR EXAMPLE MOVES OUT OF THE CITY AND THERE'S A HOLDOVER LANGUAGE THERE IT SAYS UNTIL SOMEBODY IS APPOINTED THEY CAN ESSENTIALLY STILL SERVE ON CITY COUNCIL YET NOT LIVE IN THE CITY AND THAT'S OKAY TO ME THAT'S NOT OKAY. DURING YOUR TIME AS A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER YOU CHOOSE TO MOVE TO ANOTHER CITY, THEN YOU HAVE ESSENTIALLY SAID, I'M DONE SERVING ON CITY COUNCIL FOR THE CITY I WAS ELECTED TO SERVE THAT'S JUST ONE SIMPLE PURE I KNOW THAT THERE ARE SOME ENGLISH LANGUAGE THAT WOULD PROBABLY TAKE PRECEDENCE FROM THE STATE BUT THAT IN A NUTSHELL THAT'S WHAT I POSTED ON THE MESSAGE WOULD I WAS HOPING YOU WOULD

HAVE COMMENTED ON. >> I AGREE BUT I DON'T THINK IT.

>> CAN YOU SPEAK CLOSER TO THE MICROPHONE.

>> APOLOGIES IF YOU HAD PULLED THE MOST.

[LAUGHTER] I THINK THAT SOMEONE HAD TO MOVE BECAUSE THEY TOOK A JOB OUT OF STATE OR CITY I DON'T THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR THEM TO BE SERVING ON THE COUNCIL BE CONSIDERED FOR THEM IF THEY REMOVE THEMSELVES AILISH FORFAR

QUALIFICATIONS TO SERVE. >> IS A CLARIFICATION YOU CAN GET TO US BY THE NEXT MEETING LIKE 53 DOES THAT MEAN YOU HOLD

OVER OR YOU ARE GONE. >> WILL PROVIDE RELEVANCE MODEL SO THAT PEOPLE LEAVING THE CITY AND ESTABLISH A RESOLUTION FOR FUNDING AND IF THEY DID FORFEIT THEIR OFFICE FOR ANOTHER UNDER THAT THEN WE CONSIDER THE FORFEITURE OFFICE BUT IT TAKES COUNCIL ACTION. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PROPOSITION IT SAYS DUE TO REMOVAL FROM OFFICE AND TO REMOVE HIM IF THERE'S A RECALL ELECTION IF THEY CAN'T HOLD OVER THERE'S CASE LAW PROVIDED ON. BUT IF YOU REMOVE THEM UNDER THE RESOLUTION ABOUT THE RESIDENCY THEN THEY FORFEIT THEIR OFFICE AND THE COUNCIL COMMITTEE FOLLOWED.

ORNESS THREE MEETINGS IN A ROW YOU REMOVE THEM FROM OFFICE

COUNCILOR COUNT HOLD OF HIM. >> WE'RE PROBABLY OKAY.

>> WILL EXPLAIN IN THE LITERATURE THAT WE SENT OUT TO THE VOTERS EXACTLY WHAT THAT WAS SO WE DID THAT AND ALSO THE OFFICE HOLDING OFF ON COUNCIL HE RUN FOR ANOTHER OFFICE LIKE A SCHOOL BOARD AND YOU GET ON THE SCHOOL BOARD YOU'RE REMOVED FROM COUNCIL AND PULLED OVER AND I'LL EXPLAIN THAT IN THE LITERATURE.

>> WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT THE VERBIAGE GYM BACK WORKING AGAIN AND HE WOULD GO TO A TECH START-UP AND THEN HE WAS IN THERE FOR TWO MONTHS SURE SO HE'S STILL IN THE COUNCIL BUT MAYBE IN NORTH CAROLINA FOR TWO MONTHS.

DOES HE STILL GET TO ZOOM IN TEAMS IN OR DOES HE FORFEIT THE

OFFICE? >> BY LAW YOU CAN ZOOM IN INDEFINITELY AFTER COVID. SO IF YOU CAN'T SEE ME DON'T SHOW UP AGAIN IT'S FINE NEEDLES FOR 12 MINUTES BEFORE YOU WERE REMOVED FROM OFFICE IF WE WENT THROUGH A.

HERE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WE HAD SOMEONE ZOOMING IN ON EVERY

OTHER MEETING. >> ZOOMING IN,.

[03:40:08]

>> AYE THE THREE OF YOU CAN ZOOM.

>> IF YOU WERE MOVING TO ANOTHER STATE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND

FORFEIT THE OFFICE WITH THERE. >> IF WE VOTE AND PREVIOUSLY WE

HAVEN'T VOTED THAT WAY. >> IN YOUR EXAMPLE THERE TEMPORARILY LIVING IN ANOTHER STATE BUT AS LONG AS THEY MAINTAIN RESIDENCY AND FOLLOW THE ZOOM ALLOWANCES IN THE WOODEN PIER PROPERLY WHICH I THINK.

>> SPEAKER-04: WHO SERVED IN HOUSTON THEY DO NOT.

>> WHAT YOU'RE SAYING WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE IF WHAT HE'S SAYING IS PREVIOUSLY WE HAD THE DEBATE ON.

>> HOW DO YOU CREATE SOMETHING YOU CAN VOTE ON CONCRETE CLARITY ON? EXPERIENCE THAT WAS THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME BUT WHEN YOU SAY YOU RESIGNED AND COUNCIL DOESN'T IMMEDIATELY HAVE ANOTHER EXCEPT FOR RESIGNATION.

>> CAN YOU PLEASE SPEAK CLOSER TO THE MICROPHONE, PLEASE.

>> CITY COUNCIL MEMBER RESIGNS AND THE COUNCIL DOESN'T MEET TO ACCEPT THAT RESIGNATION AND DECLARE THE OFFICE FORFEITED BECAUSE THEY MOVED OUT OF THE CITY UNDER THE GUIDELINES THAT YOU PUT IN A RESOLUTION CONSTITUTING A FORFEITURE BY MOVING IT OUT OF CITY, THEN YOU CAN DECLARE THE OFFICE VACANT NO HOLDOVER IT'S FORFEITED. IF THEY RESIGN EMPIRE OPERATION OF LAW IN EIGHT DAYS AND CITY COUNCIL DOESN'T MEET AND TAKE THAT ACTION THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED IN THE LAST INSTANCE WHERE WE COULDN'T DECLARE THE OFFICE VACANT AND FORFEITED AND THERE WAS A HOLDOVER BY THE CONSTITUTION.

GETS MESSY. >> BUT YOU DID PUT A LOT OF STUFF IN PLACE AND THEY'LL SEND OUT THESE MEMOS AGAIN CITY

COUNCIL MEMBERS CAN HAVE THEM. >> AGREE.

>> I HAD A COUPLE OF IDEAS ONE WAS FOR JAMES AND ITEM 4.01 4.01 C. RIGHT NOW I DIDN'T WRITE THEM THAT SAID THAT THE CONTRACTS FOR THE CITY MANAGER. I SHOULD HAVE HAD THIS.

>> IF HE DOESN'T GET PULLED UP BEFORE HE LEAVES HE RESIGNS, THIS WAS A NEW ONE WE'RE GOING TO PROPOSE.

>> YEAH, PUT. >> WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO GO THROUGH THE ONES PRESENTED WHILE YOU WORK THROUGH?

>> IT SAYS CITY MANAGER SHALL NOT BE APPOINTED FOR A DEFINITIVE TERM BUT MAY BE SUSPENDED OR REMOVED DISCRETIONARY COUNCIL AND I WONDERED AND I KNOW THIS IS ON OF THEM ARE THAT IS WHEN THERE ARE CHANGES BUT DOES IT HURT TO SAY CITY MANAGER APPOINTED FOR A TERM NO GREATER THAN ANY POINT OF TIME BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S INDEFINITE UNTIL HE DIES RESIGNS OR GETS FIRED. SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS CERTAIN I THINK I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR TIME FRAME IS BUT I HAD THAT AS A CONVERSATION CONTENT CERTAIN PROPOSITIONS YOU.

SO THAT WAS ONE. ANOTHER ONE WAS YOU GOT THE PHONE CALL BUT BECAUSE WE GOT THE MESSAGE RIGHT HERE.

I'M SAYING IT'S ON YOUR POST TWO WE SAY THAT BUDGET NEEDS TO BE PRESENT BY AUGUST 15TH LITERALLY LIKE SIX WEEKS TO GO THROUGH IT AND WE'VE ALREADY KIND OF PUSHED TO HAVE THE BUDGET ERIN MAHER SO I WAS LIKE WHY NOT SAY THE BUDGET HAS TO BE BY JULY 15TH?

[03:45:04]

BECAUSE STAFF GETS SIX MONTHS TO PREPARE THE BUDGET.

WE GET SIX WEEKS TO LOOK OVER. I THINK WE'VE BEEN TRENDING OVER THAT WAS A DISCUSSION POINT IN THIS ONE AND PRETTY THE OTHER ONES THIS ONE WE REALLY SHOULD DO 805C CHECK IF WE DON'T PASS THE BUDGET BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER 30TH THE BUDGET THE CITY MANAGER SUBMITTED AS WAS APPROVED AUTOMATICALLY AND I FEEL LIKE IT OUGHT TO HIM WE DON'T COME TO AN AGREEMENT ON THE BUDGET IT OUGHT TO BE LAST YEAR'S BUDGET.

NOW THERE'S CONSEQUENCES BECAUSE WE HAVE A BIG EXPENDITURE BUT WE'VE BEEN UP HERE AND I WANT TO SAY WE CAME DOWN TO THE DEADLINE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO BUT THERE WAS A BUDGET MEETING NOT [BOOS] AND JAMES DOESN'T DO THIS BUT HE HAS IN THE PAST HE COULD WORK IT THROUGH DON'T HAVE A GOOD COOK KNOWING IF WE DON'T COME TO A RESOLUTION YOU GUYS HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO BE AND THE HUTTO THE BUDGET HE PRESENTED WE DIDN'T LIKE WHAT WAS PRESENTED BUT COULDN'T AGREE ON WHAT TO CHANGE SO WHAT DOES THAT BUDGET MAKE, SHOULD NOT BE THE LAST BUDGET THAT HISTORICALLY WOULD PROBABLY HAVE LESS TAX REVENUE CALCULUS EVERYTHING IN IT TO WHERE YOU CAN APPROVE THAT AND ALWAYS MAKE AMENDMENTS IN THE FUTURE BUT ONCE YOU APPROVE HIS BUDGET WHATEVER WE HAVE NOW WHETHER YOU'RE FIGHTING THAT YOU DON'T HAVE ANY JORDAN TO GET IT PASSED OR AMENDED SO ONCE IT'S PASSED YOU'RE BASICALLY STUCK WITH THE BUDGET SOMEBODY ONCE SAID TO ME WE OUGHT TO GO BACK TO A PREVIOUS YEAR'S BUDGET AND THAT WAY HE'S INCENTIVIZED TO GET US TO CONSENSUS QUICKER BECAUSE HE DOESN'T HAVE THE REST BUDGET BECAUSE THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE RAISES AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE MADE BUT THAT'S THE ONLY ONE WHERE OUR CHART IS PRETTY GOOD WHERE AT THIS POINT WE'RE JUST MAKING CHANGES PROBABLY TO MAKE CHANGES IF IT'S TOUGH FOR JAMES.

AT SOME POINT WE'LL HAVE TO MAKE CHANGES FOR 20 YEARS FROM NOW WHEN JAMES IS A. OF TEN YEARS BUT OUR CHARTER IN MY MIND IT'S PRETTY GOOD IF YOU BUT THAT'S THREE I CAME UP WITH THIS THAT WAS MY SECOND POST I THOUGHT ABOUT ADDING WE CAN'T ISSUE A SEAL OR JAIL WITHOUT SUPERMAJORITY THE COUNCIL SO FIVE OF US TO ♪ ♪ 66% OF THE VOTERS APPROVED.

IF WE CAN'T COME TO FIVE TO SEVEN KICK OFF THE ROSE AND THE 66% OF THEM VOTE THEN WE WILL PROVE THAT BEFORE WE GET PAID ABOUT ONE MONTH AND UNLESS WE SHALL BE PAID SO WE SETTLE ON PAY AND ONE DAY WE SAID WEED NEED TO ASK THE PEOPLE HOW MUCH WE SHOULD GET PAID AND CAME UP WITH A THOUSAND DOLLARS 800 THE PUBLIC SHOULD WE GET 30. WE JUST SAID YOU WANT TO PAY THAT BY ORDINANCE, SAID IT OURSELVES ARE YOU GOING TO SET IT HERE SO I THOUGHT THE RETURN WOULD BE A BUDGET DEAL WE HAVE TO ASK THE PEOPLE TO BASICALLY AFFIRM THAT THIS OR THAT BUT DO YOU THINK WE OUGHT TO GET PAID AND IF SO ARE YOU OKAY WITH THE $1000.850 I THOUGHT VOTE NO, AND YOU WANT TO PAY CHANGE CHARTER AND TO ME EVERY TIME WE HAVE A CHARTER WE SHOULD BRING IT UP IF PEOPLE VOTE FOR US WHO CAN SAY YOU'RE VOTING TO GIVE US THE MONEY BUT WE CAN ADDRESS THEM SHOULD WE EVEN GET PAID.

>> I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU ASK THE QUESTION TO GET A DEFINITIVE ANSWER. I JUST KNOW THAT IF YOU GO TO THE, WHAT AM I LOOKING FOR? SOCIAL MEDIA WHERE EVERYTHING HAPPENS APPARENTLY WHERE THE REAL SURVEYS HAPPEN, THERE SHOULD BE PEOPLE OUT THERE THINKING THIS IS OUR FULL TIME JOB I DON'T KNOW, YEAH, THEY THINK I'M LIKE SIX FIGURES.

>> PERFECT CITY OF AUSTIN MAKE ASSUMPTIONS.

IT'S A GOOD QUESTION TO ASK SHOULD WE GET PAID AND THEN I DON'T KNOW PUT THAT IN THE CHARTER ANYWAY.

>> SPEAKER-02: MAKE SURE WE GET PAID AND THE ANSWER IS NO SHOULD WE GET PAID 1250.COM WE STOP GETTING PAID.

>> WHAT SHOULD WE BE PAID BETWEEN ZERO OR X AND Y,.

>> SPEAKER-09: Q WHAT SHOULD THAT PROVISION AND THEN JUST TO

[03:50:08]

THE BUDGET EVERY YEAR WE. >> KNOW WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR IS BASICALLY THE VOTERS PROPOSITION WHATEVER THE CITY COUNCIL WE PAY THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL 800 AND IF THEY SAY NO WHATEVER IT'S WHAT IF THEY SAY NO, WE GO TO ZERO.

IF THEY SAY YES, WE KEEP WHAT WE HAVE IS WHAT I WAS THINKING.

>> I THINK IT ALREADY SAYS THAT. JUST THROW SOMETHING OUT WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE CHARTER PROVISIONS MOST OF THEM ARE ALREADY PRINTED BUT LIKE THE HOLDOVER OF TEXAS CONSTITUTION THERE'S ALL THESE CASES AND THEN THE ONLY ONE THAT IS NOT IS.

>> PRINTED MEANS WE CAN'T CHANGE IT WE'RE JUST REALLY SAYING FOR A PROPOSITION A FOR HOLDOVER YOU'RE REALLY JUST EXPLAINING HOW THE LAW OPERATES ANYWAY. PROPOSITION B WE ARE JUST CLARIFYING THAT FOR MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL CAN CONVENE A MEETING WHICH IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING AND THEN WE HAVE BEEN COUPLING IT WITH FIVE IN ORDER FOR YOU TO TAKE ACTION.

SO THAT DOESN'T REALLY NEED TO BE CHANGED.

C IS THE BONDS, STATE LAW ON REFUNDING BONDS IS GOING TO PREEMPT THAT ANYWAY IT'S JUST KIND OF CLARIFYING THAT EXCHANGING BONDS IS THE SAME AS REFUNDING.

I'M PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION THEY CAN'T DO ANNEXATION PLANS ANYMORE BECAUSE IT WAS TAKEN OUT OF THE STATE LAW. SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT SOME FOUR OR FIVE MORE PROPOSITIONS WE HAVE TO DRAFT UP MORE IN ORDER TO PUT IT IN THE PACKET MAY BE YOU JUST POSTPONE THIS UNTIL THE MAY ELECTION AND THAT WAY TO GET ANY STATE LAW CHANGES THAT MIGHT IMPACT YOUR CHARTER ELECTION.

>> THAT DOESN'T BOTHER ME. WE WERE RUNNING FOR COUNCIL AND PEOPLE SAY WE LIKE THE PROPOSITION.

I DON'T HAVE THE VOTES IN BECAUSE TOO MANY PEOPLE COME UP UNDER THERE TO VOTE REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT AND WHEN IT GETS TO THE STUFF THAT'S IMPORTANT TO ME BECAUSE THERE'S NO LEFT OR RIGHT

HERE. >> ANY OBJECTION TO.

>> HENRICO. >> WILL BRING THIS BACK UP BECAUSE WE'LL WAIT TILL LAST MINUTE AGAIN.

I'LL GET US BACK UP ON THE AGENDA IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES FROM KIEV SO. TO GO THROUGH THESE AND SEE IF YOU GUYS READ THROUGH AND SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING ON BECAUSE THIS IS LIKE A CONSTITUTIONAL THIS IS THE ABILITY TO GO AND I DON'T PROPOSE IF I WANT TO DO SOMETHING ON THE MOTION AND PUT ANOTHER. STUFF OFF FOR A LONG TERM AND ALSO TO MAKE HUTTO BE THAT CITY WHERE SOMEONE ELSE CAN GO HUTTO DO THIS AND WHAT IS THE RESULT ACTUALLY WASN'T THAT BAD I ACTUALLY HAD A BENEFIT AND WITH THE DEBT AND PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING BECAUSE WE DO OURSELVES.

>> 10% MAKES AN ELECTION. >> INHIBITOR FOR THE STREETS ALREADY COMING DOWN SO I'M LIKE WHAT DID WE JUST SAY SUPERMAJORITY AND THE VOTERS ONE OF THE FIRST CITIES TO DO THAT AND THEN THE PEOPLE CAN COME CONTRIBUTED TO COUNCIL VOTED AND IT GIVES POWER FOR THREE PEOPLE WHICH IS OUT OF QUORUM TO REALLY MAKE SURE DECISIONS ARE MADE BY THEM BECAUSE I WOULD NOT HAVE ISSUED $10 MILLION IF I HAD A WAY TO STOP IT BECAUSE OF SO

MANY IMPORTANT THINGS THAT. >> SPEAKER-09: I THOUGHT COULD HAVE GONE TO A SENIOR CENTER PARKS SO ALL THOSE LITTLE THINGS WE COULD REALLY MAKE A NEGOTIATION WITH PEOPLE WITH SOME OTHER PEOPLE ON COUNCIL HAVE SOME OF THOSE CHECKS TO GO THROUGH FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND AND THEN SEE THERE'S A WAY TO REWORD IT IN A MANNER IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW DOES THE AVERAGE VOTER UNDERSTAND IF YOU CAN CAN WE CLARIFY THE SAME CLARIFY THANK YOU FOR IT'S CRYSTAL CLEAR BECAUSE EVERY BODY TRIES TO PUT THINGS WITH RESIDENCY.

>> I WOULD ALSO ENCOURAGE, GO ON TO THE MESSAGE BOARD.

[03:55:03]

SERIOUSLY. CAN READ TWO I POSTED IN FACT WHOEVER HAS POSTED AND CHIME IN. AND MAYBE IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU'RE SEEING YOU AGREE WITH IT JUST MAY BE SOUNDS GOOD IF YOU COULD READ. AT LEAST THAT WAY WE KNOW THAT YOU LOOKED AT IT JUST LIKE YOU SAW IT HERE I WAS ACTUALLY ABLE TO PULL UP AND FIND WHAT I DID RIGHT AND I DON'T KNOW IF I NEED

TO REGURGITATE IT OR NOT. >> I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE DELAY THE ELECTION ON THIS TO THE MAY ELECTION.

>> HERE'S MY RECOMMENDATION. MAKE A MOTION TO TAKE NO ACTION ON THIS AND THEN BRING IT BACK WHATEVER IT IS YOU WANT TO BRING BACK FOR ADDITIONAL CHARTER PROPOSITIONS FOR THE MAY

ELECTION. >> MOTION FOR NEW ACTION AND TO

BRING BACK UP FOR THE FIRST. >> YOU GOT TO BE COOKING UP.

>> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION. JAMES WILL BRING IT BACK OCTOBER FIRST IF THIS PASSES PLEASE CALL THE VOTE.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER MOTION PASSES 70 JUST TO CLARIFY OUR BRING BACK ALL THOSE MEMORIES THAT RELATE TO THE CHARTER PROPOSITIONS WHEN WE BRING IT BACK RATHER THAN SEND IT TO YOU

[12.1. Discussion and possible action regarding the use of City-owned facilities for Early Voting for the November 3, 2026 election. (Councilmember King)]

NOW SO YOU CAN IGNORE. >> ITEM 12 DISCUSSION POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING USE OF CITY FACILITIES FOR EARLY VOTING FOR

NOVEMBER 302026 ELECTION. >> ORIGINALLY I WAS GOING TO DISCUSS THE USE OF THE ANNEX BUILDING BUT WE ALL RECEIVED A LETTER FROM COMMISSIONER BOWLES, WHICH MY INTERPRETATION WAS PRETTY MUCH, WE'RE GOING TO USE CITY HALL AS A PLACE.

I LOOKED AT SCHEDULES FOR EARLY VOTING ON THE DAY OF VOTING AND THERE WAS ONLY ONE COMMISSIONER THAT WOULD CONFLICT WITH THAT AND THAT IS PNC IF THERE'S NO. IF THERE'S A CONFLICT WITH PNC I'M SURE THEY CAN HOLD A MEETING UPSTAIRS AND THE EXECUTIVE CONFERENCE ROOM. I'VE BEEN TO PLENTY OF PNC MEETINGS AND THERE'S MORE THAN ENOUGH ROOM UP THERE FOR THEM TO HOLD THEIR MEETINGS FOR THAT D DAY.

ANYWAY I JUST KIND OF FELT LIKE THIS LETTER THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE COMMISSIONER JUST SAID THIS IS WHAT YOU WERE GOING TO

DO AND SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP. >> I FEEL LIKE THE LETTER THAT WAS A LOT OF EFFORT PUT IN BUT WHY WE CAN USE THIS AREA AND NOT A WHOLE LOT OF EFFORT OF WHY WE CAN'T USE WHERE WE HAVE BEEN BEFORE. I BELIEVE NOVEMBER WOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM THE WAY HAVE SCHEDULES AROUND THIS 1700 PARKING GARAGE AND THIS AND THAT WE PARKING LOT WILL BE IMPORTANT FOR THEM ANYWAY SO TAKE THAT 500 SPACE PARKING GARAGE THERE'S AN OFFICE BUILDING AND THEY ARE GETTING READY TO HAVE SOME POINT IN TIME HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE WORKING AND HOW MANY CARS THAT IS BUT ALL THE KNOW SOMETIMES I HAVE TO PARK ON A SECOND FLOOR FOR JUST LIKE I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. I SAID THE COMMISSIONER DIDN'T ASK. WHAT'S THE PLAN FOR ALL THIS SO THIS WHOLE THING IS GOING TO BE BUILT UP HERE IN A COUPLE OF YEARS AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE ENOUGH PARKING HERE BUT TODAY WE SHOULD DO THE SAME THING WE DID BEFORE WITH LAST RESORT USE THE CHAMBERS. DON'T KNOW HOW WE GOT THIS IN THE LAST TIME WITH THE LACK OF LISTENING BECAUSE IMMEDIATELY THE COMMISSIONER GOES TO CHAMBER THEY VOTED TO SAID HE COULDN'T

[04:00:01]

ASSEMBLE WHAT THEY SAID HERE IN OUR AGREEMENT THAT SAYS THE COUNTY WILL PROVIDE @THEPLACEOFELECTIONS.

SAID.SOWENEEDTOCROSSOUTTHATPARAA NDWEAREGOINGTOTAKEITOFFANDWENEED T OSAYWEARETAKINGCAREOFITNOW.

>> YOUBRINGUPAGOODPOINT . I THINK IT WAS BRIDGET WHO REACHED OUT TO US. I WAS GOING AROUND TO DIFFERENT PLACES ASKING, HEY, IS IT OKAY IF WE USE THIS BIBLE CHURCH BEING ONE OF THEM HERE SO TO YOUR POINT WE WERE RUNNING INTERFERENCE. BUT I WILL SAY THIS.

I WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT CITY HALL IS THE PEOPLE'S BUILDING HERE I WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT FOR SURE SO IF I OFFENDED ANYBODY BY SAYING SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP I'M SORRY BECAUSE I KNOW I UPSET SOME PEOPLE BY SAYING IT HERE JUST MEANS MORE PEOPLE MORE.

>> I DID HEAR YOU WANT TRANSPARENCY.

I DO BUT I DO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS THE PEOPLE'S BUILDING.

IT WAS JUST VERY CONFUSING TO ME AFTER HOWEVER MANY YEARS BEFORE MY WIFE AND I MOVED HERE THE ANNEX BUILDING WAS A PERFECT PLACE TO. HAS HIGH TRAFFIC.

YOU SAW ALL THE CAMPAIGN SIGNS OUT THERE.

WAS A GREAT PLACE TO VOTE AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW IT'S CLOSED UP FOR TWO YEARS JUST SITTING THERE GOING AND DOING NOTHING BECAUSE WE OFFER TO PURCHASE THE BUILDING U.N. CITY MANAGER FROM THE FOURTH COMMISSIONER COMMISSIONER BOWLES ON IF YOU'VE WALKED THE BUILDING, ♪ ♪ COUPLE OF OFFERS AND WE GOT REJECTED AND I'M JUST LIKE I DON'T GET IT IF WE GAVE THE REASONS WHY WE WANTED TO PURCHASE THE BUILDING WHAT OUR PLANS WERE TO USE THE BUILDING IF THAT WOULD BENEFIT HUTTO AND WE GOT REJECTED.

SO HERE WE ARE. >> CITY HALL WOULD BE THE PLACE TO GET BUT THE PERSON WHO DESIGNED CITY HALL DID NOT HAVE THE INTEREST OF THE PUBLIC SO THAT'S WHY IF YOU HAVE THE LIBRARY CRAMPED IN THE CORNER AND YOU HAVE ONE OF THE BIGGEST COUNCIL CHAMBERS I'VE BEEN TO IN A LOT OF DECISIONS AND THE EMPHASIS IS NOT PUT ON TO HELP THE PUBLIC.

THIS ONE MEETING OFF TO THE SIDE THERE'S A LOT OF ELECTIONS THAT HAPPEN HERE YOU HAVE THE ONES IN MARCH AND MAY HAVE RUNOFFS IN MAY AND YOU GET ALL THE ONES. SO THE END OF THE YEAR I DON'T MIND. I THINK WE NEED A SUBCOMMITTEE TO HELP FIGURE OUT WHERE WE CAN HAVE VOTING AT, WHETHER IT WOULD BE INDUSTRIAL BUILDING THAT CAN BE SECURED.

>> I THINK WE NEED TO GET AN AGENDA ITEM SO WE CAN COME UP WITH ALL THREE OF THOSE BUT WE ARE KICKING OFF THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND I THINK IT'S, THEY NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO DO AND DELEGATE TO SOMEONE ELSE IN CHARGE US 30,000 BUT IF THAT'S ALL THE DIGITAL STUFF THAT'S PART OF THAT IS A PHYSICAL BUILDING I. THINK IT'S $30,000.

>> IT'S GOING TO SLOW EROSION OF WHAT BENEFITS WE GET OVER BEING PART OF A COMPANY HERE THREE OR FOUR YEARS AGO THEY SAID WE STARTED PAYING FOR 9 SERVICES AND NOW WE ARE BASICALLY IN CHARGE OF BUYING OUR OWN FACILITIES.

IT MADE ME WONDER WHAT'S IT COST TO GET OUR OWN VOTING MACHINE BECAUSE WE'RE PAYING FOR EVERYBODY'S MAKING MONEY OFF OF US BUT US IF YOU'RE SO TOO MUCH LONGER WE DO IT OURSELVES BECAUSE EVERYTHING FROM POLICE SERVICE TO EVERYTHING ELSE IS THAT WE PUT AS FAR AS THIS FACILITY I DON'T KNOW USING IT AS LONG AS IT'S LAST RESORT. SHOULD NOT BE THE FIRST CHOICE BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE PARKING PEOPLE THINK WE DON'T HAVE THE FACILITY TO MOVE ALL OF US OUT OF HERE BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ELECTIONS PERSON BETTER BE POSSIBLE FOR A SECOND TIME BUT EVERYBODY SAYING NO. WHICH BOTHERS ME THAT SD IS WILLING TO CHARGE $10,000 TO USE THEIR BUILDING ON THAT'S PUBLIC BUILDING IF THAT'S A PEOPLE'S BILL.

>> CAN WE CHARGE THE COUNTY FOR THE.

>> ANNOUNCER: ALGORITHM FOR. >> THE THEY JUST

[04:05:09]

THE BUILDING? >> YEAH, THEY'LL DISCHARGE US.

PARKING IS A THING, THEY PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ALL THAT COME I DON'T KNOW THAT THIS IS NECESSARILY -- WE HAD IT, THEY CAN BRING THE BOARDING EQUIPMENT OUT TO THE FRONT SPOT FOR THE ELDERLY AND HERE WE ARE GOING TO MAKE THE PARKING IN THE SECOND-STORY GARAGE THREE STORIES UP AND COME DOWN AN ELEVATOR OR THEY CAN WAIT -- WE DON'T HAVE MUCH CHOICE THIS

YEAR. >> TO BE GOT A MOTION?

>> WHAT'S THE MOTION? [LAUGHTER]

>> TO ACCEPT THE USE OF CITY-OWNED FACILITIES FOR EARLY VOTING FOR THE NOVEMBER 3RD 2026 ELECTION.

>> SECOND. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE, PLEASE CALL THE BOAT PICKUP

>> COUNCILMEMBER MORRIS? >> AYE.

>> COUNCILMEMBER ZEPEDA? >> AYE.

>> COUNCILMEMBER REYNOLDS? >> AYE.

>> COUNCILMEMBER KING? >> AYE.

>> MAYOR PRO TEM PORTERFIELD? >> AYE.

>> COUNCILMEMBER THORTON? >> AYE.

[12.2. Discussion and possible action regarding helping residents who have to move their mailboxes after the one-way street change downtown. (Councilmember Thornton)]

>> THE CHAIR: MOTION PASSES 7 7-0.

NEXT ITEM 12.2, DISCUSSION OF RESIDENCE AT HAVE TO MOVE THEIR MAILBOX AFTER THE CHANGE DOWNTOWN.

>> THIS IS JUST LOOKING WHAT TO BE DONE TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

THEY'VE HAD THEIR MAILBOXES THERE FOR A LONG TIME AND WE COME IN AND MAKE IT A ONE-WAY STREET AND THEN THE POST OFFICE TELLS THEM THEY HAVE TO MOVE IT TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET BECAUSE IT'S ONE WAY AND THEY ARE ONLY DELIVERING ONE SIDE.

THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THIS ITEM, TO BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF THAT?

>> TO HAVE THE CITY COME BY AND MOVE THE MAILBOXES, PLANT THE POLLS AND THE OTHER SIDE ON THE RIGHT-OF-WAY?

>> THAT'S THE SIMPLE SOLUTION, YEAH.

>> KATE MORIARTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF SERVICES WE'VE BEEN COORDINATING ABOUT WHAT THIS IS FUNCTIONALLY GOING TO LOOK LIKE, WE HAVE CONFIRMED HOW MANY PROPERTIES ARE IMPACTED BY THIS, IT'S AROUND A HANDFUL. RATHER THAN MOVING THE PROPERTY OWNERS EXISTING MAILBOXES, WE ARE LOOKING AT WHAT THE STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS ARE FOR A MAILBOX SO THEY CAN KEEP OR MAINTAIN WHATEVER THEY HAVE SO WE AREN'T IMPACTING THEIR PROPERTY AND WE WILL PLACE THE NEW MAILBOXES IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY THAT WE HAVE COME AT THE DIRECTION TRAFFIC IS GOING.

WE HAVEN'T HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WE POST OFFICE, WE SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED THEM WHEN THIS WAS GOING ON AND WE ALSO SHOULD HAVE COORDINATED THE MOVEMENT OF THE MAILBOXES WHEN THIS DIRECTION WAS PRESENTED TO STAFF. WE ARE RECONCILING THAT.

WE DID CONFIRM THIS WEEK THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT ARE IMPACTED, PUBLIC WORKS IS WORKING OUT PROCURING MATERIALS FOR THE MAILBOXES AND WE TEND TO HAVE THAT RESOLVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE INSURING THE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE NOTIFIED TO.

>> THE CHAIR: LESSON LEARNED ON THAT IT'S PROBABLY NOT A

COMMON THING ON A ONE-WAY. >> WATER PROPERTY OWNERS DOING

IN THE INTERIM? >> HAVING TO GO TO THE POST OFFICE TO PICK UP THEIR MAIL.

>> THE CHAIR: NOT TO BE FUNNY, HOW MONEY IS A HANDFUL?

>> I UNDERSTAND TO BE THREE PROPERTY OWNERS, THAT IS WHAT STAFF RELATE TO ME I WANT TO CONFIRM THAT WE ARE NOT MISSING ANOTHER PROPERTY OWNER OR TWO THAT HAVE THEIR MAILBOXES --

>> THE CHAIR: A COUPLE, -- >> THERE ARE DEFINITELY PROPERTIES THAT ARE ADJACENT TO THE ONE-WAY STREETS BUT THE MAILBOXES AND THE ADDRESSES ARE ON, ON THE BIDIRECTIONAL.

>> WHAT STREET IS THAT? E STREET?

>> THAT'S THE MOST IMPACTED. >> THE CHAIR: WITH THAT DOWNTOWN THERE WAS AN ISSUE BROUGHT UP DIDN'T THEY TALK TO US ABOUT THE MAILBOX, WASN'T AN ISSUE WITH THE BUSINESS IS NOT GETTING MAIL? AND THEY'RE LOOKING FOR A COMMUNITY MAILBOX BECAUSE A POST OFFICE, NOT DELIVERING MAIL

TO DOWNTOWN ANYMORE? >> THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.

>> THE CHAIR: YEAH. I MIGHT SHOOT YOU GUYS AN EMAIL I MIGHT GET WITH THE CHAMBER AGAIN I THINK THERE'S AN ISSUE

[04:10:04]

WITH DOWNTOWN, WE ARE TRYING TO MAINTAIN SERVICE AND EVERYBODY ELSE IS JUST CUTTING THEM. I GET THE MAIL BECAUSE THE GUYS ARE COMING OUT AND SITTING IN THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR AND WE

HAVE THE MAILBOXES ON THE LEFT. >> THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND CROSSED THE ROAD, WE COULD COORDINATE

WITH THE POST OFFICE TO CONFIRM. >> THE CHAIR: MORE TO COME ON

THAT HAVE THEY BEEN CONTACTED? >> NO, WE WILL ENSURE --

>> WE MIGHT TALK TO THEM, WHILE THEY ARE CUSSING US ON THE WAY TO THE MAILBOX, THEY SAY NO LIKE WE ARE WORKING ON IT.

>> I THINK THE FIRST QUESTION THEY ARE GOING TO ASK, WHEN WILL IT BE DONE? YOU MAY NOT HAVE A HARD NUMBER BUT IF YOU COULD HAVE A TIGHTER WINDOW OF WHEN THAT OCCURS.

>> BECAUSE THE POST OFFICE ALREADY NOTIFIED THEM, I WONDER IF ANY OF THEM STARTED TRYING TO RESOLVE IT THEMSELVES.

>> WWE WILL GET THAT FIGURED OUT TOMORROW.

[12.4. Discussion and possible action regarding modifying Hutto Economic Development Corporation and City of Hutto bidding contract process to include local contractors. (Councilmember Morris)]

>> THE CHAIR: ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT ONE? 12.4. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING MODIFYING HUTTO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND CITY OF HUTTO BIDDING CONTRACT PROCESS TO INCLUDE

LOCAL CONTRACTORS. >> A LITTLE BACKGROUND, PEOPLE ARE TALKING, DEALING WITH CHAMBER AND SMALL BUSINESS, MINORITY BUSINESSES PICK OUT I HAD A REALLY GOOD CONVERSATION WITH CITY MANAGER, I MIGHT KIND OF DEFER TO HIM TO SHARE PART OF THAT BUT PART OF IT WAS -- I WAS LOOKING AT, THIS MAY BE EDC AS WELL BECAUSE EDC HAS A PROCESS IN THE CITY OF HUTTO.

WHATEVER THAT MEANS IS A CERTAIN LIMIT, CERTAIN TYPES OF SERVICES THAT COULD BE PROVIDED BY THESE LOCAL CONTRACTORS -- THE CITY MANAGER TALKED ABOUT HISTORICALLY UNDERUSED BUSINESSES, THE GATE AND BID SYSTEM -- I THINK THERE ARE ALREADY PARTICLES IN THE CITY BIDDING PROCESS THAT DOES LOOK AT WHAT I CALL SMALL BUSINESSES, WOMEN'S MINORITY VETERANS, WHATEVER, UNDERUTILIZED BUSINESSES BUT OF THE CITY MANAGER CAN ELABORATE ON THE CONVERSATION THE OTHER DAY, YOU

CAN BE BRIEF. >> SHORT OF IT IS IN OUR PURCHASING POLICY WE HAVE A LOCAL PREFERENCE THAT HAS ALLOWED FOR GENERALLY THE ITEMS THAT REQUIRED TO BE BID OUT.

WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE IS IT COULD BE IT'S A SCORING METRIC IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S BEING SCORED VERSUS A PRICING DID TO WHERE THEY WOULD RECEIVE SOME ADDITIONAL POINTS BECAUSE THEY ARE LOCAL, THE COUNCIL CAN ELECT TO TAKE SOMEONE WHO'S NOT NECESSARILY THE LOWEST BIDDER, EXCEPT SOMEONE WHO'S A SLIGHTLY HIGHER IT'S PREFERENCE. GENERALLY SPEAKING, THE WAY THAT THE CITY IS DESIGNED AND TAUGHT, IT IS TO SAVE AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE. WE ALMOST ALWAYS GO WITH THE LOWEST BIDDER WHENEVER WE ARE DOING SMALLER PURCHASES.

THERE MIGHT BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT, WE DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE GOING TO SPEND MORE MONEY IF IT'S A HUTTO BUSINESS WE WANT YOU TO SPEND MORE MONEY OR WE MIGHT BE LIKE WE DON'T REALLY CARE IF THEY ARE NOT COST COMPETITIVE, THEY ARE NOT COST COMPETITIVE. THE OTHER THING WE TALKED ABOUT WAS IS THE BIDDERS, THE CONTRACT -- THAT'S NOT EVEN THE RIGHT WORD TO. THE FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY WHO WANT TO BE CONSIDERED FOR CITY BUSINESS ABSOLUTELY NEED TO REGISTER -- THAT'S HOW THEY CAN BE ASSURED WHENEVER WE GO OUT AND POST A NOTICE THAT MATCHES WHAT THEY DO, THEY GET NOTIFIED BECAUSE THAT'S ANOTHER ASPECT OF IT.

I DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE LOOKING FOR THIS PARTICULAR THING TO GET

[04:15:02]

PURCHASED OR WHATEVER. THEY DO THAT, THEY GET NOTIFIED, THAT'S A BIG HELP. THERE IS ALREADY ITEMS IN PLACE, BUT IT IS NOT COMPREHENSIVE IN THE SENSE THAT THIS COUNCIL HAS NOT SAID STAFF, WE WANT YOU TO SPEND YOUR MONEY IN THE HUTTO AND WE WANT TO DESIGN POLICIES THAT ENSURE YOU SPEND MONEY IN HUTTO FIRST. THAT HASN'T HAPPENED.

>> THE CHAIR: THANK YOU, CITY MANAGER.

I WOULD ASK TWO THINGS, ONE IS THROUGH COMMUNICATIONS WE CAN PROMOTE FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THIS BIDDING PROCESS, HOW TO BECOME REGISTERED. MAY BE PUSH IT OUT.

I KNOW THE CHAMBER HAS THEIR NEWSLETTER HAPPENING, WE CAN PULL UP SOME PAGES ON THERE AND I THINK THAT'S FREE OF CHARGE.
