WE'VE WIDENED THAT ROAD FOR FUTURE ACCESS FOR THE CITY. SO THE INVESTORS PAYING FOR THE MAJORITY OF THAT SO WHEN THE CITY COMES IN AND DEVELOPS NEXT TO THAT, THAT WILL HELP THE CITY AS WELL. UM THE HOMES THEMSELVES. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE INVESTORS ARE GONNA START AROUND 350 TO 400,000 FOR THE LIGHTS. SO THESE ARE GONNA BE NICE HOMES. UM GOOD, UH, TAX BASE AND SO FORTH. UH, TOWN HOMES ARE GONNA BE THE SAME THING AROUND 25 TO 3000 SQUARE FOOT. UM AND PRETTY MUCH. THAT'S IT. WE AGAIN WE'VE TRIED TO MAXIMIZE WHAT WE CAN FOR OUR INVESTORS AND FOR THE CITY. FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. OK? ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? MAYOR PRO T. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR, SO I HAVE BEEN REVIEWING THE PLAN. THIS IS THE THIRD ITERATION THAT WE'VE GOTTEN SO ON THE WASHINGTON PASS THROUGH, IT SAYS ON HERE FOR EMERGENCY USE ONLY, BUT IT DOESN'T SHOW OR ANNOTATE THAT THERE WILL BE A GATE THERE. WILL IT BE A GATED AREA THAT WILL CONNECT THROUGH THERE TO GET SO THOSE WILL BE A GATE PASSING? YES, SIR. THERE'LL BE A GATE THERE. YES, SIR. AND WHAT? WHAT ALSO IS REFLECTED ON HERE YET BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT UPDATED, BUT WE'RE WE'RE GONNA DO THAT IS ON THE BACK ON THIS SIDE OF THE ALLEY. WE'RE WE'RE GONNA MAINTAIN A FENCE, A PRIVACY FENCE THAT WE'RE PUTTING UP ALONG WITH SOME TREES THAT WILL BE ON THE LIGHTS. UH, AS WELL SO THAT A HOMEOWNER CAN'T COME IN, PUT UP A FENCE WHEN HE WANTS TO. 
          IT'S GONNA BE A CONTINUOUS FENCE THAT WE'RE GOING TO PROVIDE. OK, AND THE QUESTION FOR MR HASKINS ON THE WIDTH OF THE ALLEY THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS. WILL THERE BE AN ISSUE WITH TRAFFIC BACKING OUT OF THOSE LOTS IN PRESIDENTIAL STATES INTO THE ALLEY TO LEAVE THEIR HOMES OR DURING TRASH PICK UP ACROSS THE BACK OF THAT ALLEY? I KNOW THAT WAS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT CAME FROM FROM A NEIGHBOR'S EMAIL IN WAS THAT THEY WERE CONCERNED WITH THE WIDTH OF THE ALLEY AND WHETHER OR NOT THERE WILL BE ENOUGH ROOM FROM THE EDGE OF THE ALLEY TO THE FENCE THAT, UH, DEVELOPERS PROPOSING IN ORDER TO ALLOW THEM TO SWING VEHICLES OUT AND GET INTO THE ALLEY TO REVERSE WITHOUT THE RIGHT AWAY. THE ALLEY WILL BE SUFFICIENT. THANK YOU. I HAVE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. ANYTHING. NOT AT THIS TIME, BUT YOU MAY BE ASKED TO COME BACK. COUNCILMAN MAICI THANK YOU, MAYOR. I'LL ASK THE I GUESS THE DEVELOPER SORRY. 
          YOU MAY PREFER TO TAKE A SEAT BY A JASON FOR THE TIME BEING JUST SO THAT I APOLOGIZE. NOT TOO FAR BACK. IS THE INTENT TO BUILD A COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL AT THE SAME TIME, SO THAT THAT WAS PROBABLY THE LAST MEETING OF THE , UH PNZ WAS THAT WE'RE GONNA DO THE COMMERCIAL AND THE TOWN HOMES FIRST TOGETHER. THE RESIDENTIAL IS GONNA BE TRICKY. BECAUSE IF I IF THEY SELL YOU A LOT, WE DON'T KNOW WHEN YOU'RE GONNA BUILD BUT WE ARE GONNA DO THE TOWN HOMES AND THE COMMERCIAL AT THE SAME TIME. OK, THE RESIDENTIAL PART I'M NOT SURE HOW YOU KNOW THE INVESTOR IS GONNA BE ABLE TO PUT IN THE HO A THAT YOU HAVE TO BUILD. 30 DAYS OR 40 DAYS AFTER YOU 
          [00:50:02]
PURCHASED A LOT. I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT'S GONNA WORK, AND THERE WILL BE NO DRIVE THROUGH IN THE COMMERCIAL, UH, PORTION OF THE PROPER IS THAT CORRECT? I'M SORRY. SAY THAT AGAIN. THERE IS NO DRIVE-THROUGH. UH, ON THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY? NO SIR. NO, IT JUST WOULD NOT BE ANY COMMERCIAL TRIBAL COMMERCIALS. UM IN GENERAL. THIS IS SIMILAR TO WHEN OTHER RADIATIONS WERE PROPOSED TO US WHERE WE TALKED ABOUT, I AM SKEPTICAL ABOUT THE VERTICAL POSITIONING OF THE COMMERCIAL SPACE. UH, ON THE BACK END, UM BACK INTO OUR, UM TO THE FIRE. STATION. I JUST FEEL LIKE THAT MIGHT BE NOT AS DEVELOPMENT. FRIENDLY IN TERMS OF COMMERCIAL SPACES THE FRONT FACING OF IN COUNTRY CLUB UM SO THAT THAT'S ONE OF THE ISSUES. BUT AND THE OTHER QUESTION THAT I HAD IS IN TERMS OF THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE TOWN HOMES. WHAT'S THE SQUARE FOOTAGE ON THOSE GIVE OR TAKE RIGHT NOW? PROBABLY 25 TO 3000 SQUARE FOOT. ON THE TOWN HOMES. YES, SIR. OK. 
          THAT'S ALL. OK MAYOR PROTO. THANK YOU, MAYOR. I'M SORRY. YOU PIQUED MY INTEREST IN YOUR LAST COMMENTS WHEN YOU SAID THAT. THE LOTS WOULD BE SOLD TO INDIVIDUALS AND THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO BUILD THEIR OWN WILL AND PLEASURE. THE ONE QUESTION I HAVE IS IN THE PRESENTATION. IT APPEARS THAT THE ELEVATIONS SHOW HOMES THAT WILL BE STANDARD. SO IS THERE NO BUILDER SELECTED FOR THE RESIDENTIAL FOR THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. UH, ONCE THIS IS APPROVED, THEN THE DEVELOPER AND MYSELF ARE GONNA BE CHOOSING BUILDERS. WE'RE ONLY GOING TO END UP HAVING TWO NO MORE THAN THREE BUILDERS IN HERE. THAT'S IT. UM, THAT SHOULD BE PART OF THE CONTRACT THAT THAT THEY'RE GONNA HAVE, UM FOR WE ONLY WANNA HAVE ONE. WE MAY END UP HAVING TWO FROM A STANDPOINT DOING THE COMMERCIAL AND THE RESIDENTIAL BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL BUILT THE SAME. SO FROM LOTS NUMBER. WELL, THE NUMBERS ARE ALL RUNNING TOGETHER ON THIS DRAWING, BUT SO FOR ALL OF THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, NOT INCLUDING THE TOWN HOMES OF THE COMMERCIAL EVERY ONE OF THOSE WILL BE UNDER CONTRACT WITH A BUILDER AND NOT JUST A LOT FOR SALE. TO AN INDIVIDUAL. NO, SIR. THESE ARE LOTS FOR SALE TO INDIVIDUALS. BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BUILDER. PART OF THE HO A THAT IF YOU PURCHASE THE LOTS THE WHAT? THE BUILDERS ARE GONNA BE IN THERE WHO YOU HAVE TO BUILD WITH. OK, THANK YOU. OK? AND SO, MY FOLLOW UP TO THAT WOULD BE OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE INDICATED ON HERE, UM LOOKS LIKE A CLUBHOUSE. I BELIEVE THERE'S SOME COURTS THERE. SORRY I'M TRYING TO TRYING TO ZOOM IN AND OUT HERE AS WELL AS I THINK THAT'S A PLAYGROUND. YES, SIR. AND I ASSUME THAT THOSE ARE ALL GOING TO BE PUT IN AND MAINTAINED BY THE HO A, NOT THE CITY. SO HOW DOES THAT WORK WITH BEING ABLE TO GET THOSE AMENITIES IN AND CARED FOR IF THE LOTS AND OTHER THINGS DON'T DEVELOP. WELL, THE GENERALLY WHEN IT COMES TO THE, UH, PLAYGROUNDS. IT'S USUALLY AFTER YOU HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF HOMES THAT ARE ARE BUILT FOR THE COMMUNITY. UM, IS NORMALLY HOW THOSE ARE DONE. UM ONCE THEY GET A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PLANS IN THERE, PART OF THE HO A. WHEN IT'S ALL WRITTEN UP IN THE HO A TAKES OVER THEN THEY'RE GONNA HIRE. UM EITHER SOMEONE FROM THE COMMUNITY OR THEY'RE GONNA HIRE OUTSIDE INDIVIDUALS TO COME AND TAKE CARE OF THAT. THE CLUBHOUSE WILL BE DONE. PRIOR CAUSE THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO HELP THE SALE, AND YOU KNOW THE LIGHTS. UM SO THAT WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF. AS PART OF IT CAN LIKE A LOW SPEC. OK? MAYOR PROTON SO AGAIN. I DON'T. I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE ANY KIND OF ACCUSATIONS. BUT IN THE PAST WE'VE BUILT WITH DEVELOPERS IN THE AREA WHO HAVE COME IN AND PROMISED US THAT THESE IDEAS OR THESE ITEMS SUCH AS PLAYGROUNDS, COURTS, ET CETERA WOULD BE DONE. AND THEN WHEN THEY'RE FINISHED BUILDING, THEY SAY, THE H A IS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF IT AND SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN THE TURNOVER AND THE PICKUP BY THE CITIZENS WHO NOW LIVE IN THE HO, A IT WASN'T COMMUNICATED AND WE HAVE CITIZENS WHO ARE ANGRY WITH US BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HOLD THE DEVELOPERS FEET TO THE FIRE AND SAY THAT IN ORDER FOR THIS TO APPROVE THE SNIFF TEST HERE, FROM MY POINT OF VIEW AND MINE, ONLY THAT HAS TO BE DONE AT THE SAME TIME THAT THE REST OF THE COMMERCIALS DEVELOP SO EVERYTHING ACROSS THAT FRONT ALONG WITH THE TOWN HOMES WOULD BE MY PREFERENCE TO BE DEVELOPED AT THE SAME TIME, SO THAT THAT WAY IT'LL BE THERE FOR THE USE OF THE HOMEOWNERS IN THE TOWN HOMES AS WELL AS, UH, THE HOMES AS THEY'RE ADDED TO IT, AND THEN TURNED OVER FOR MAINTENANCE, ET CETERA. TO THE HO A. WELL WE WERE WHAT MY DEVELOPERS TO A DEGREE TO WITH P AT THE BNZ MEETING WAS THAT WE CAN PUT IT 
          [00:55:06]
IN, AND I BELIEVE JASON CAN CAN CONFIRM THIS. THAT, UH, WITH THE COMMERCIAL TOWN HOME DEVELOPMENT. WILL DO THAT, UH, WE DON'T MIND THROWING IN THE CLUBHOUSE. THOSE THINGS LIKE THAT, BECAUSE AGAIN, THE INVESTOR IS DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO MAKE THIS GOOD FOR THE CITY AND THE COMMUNITY. UM AND HAVE IT ALL DEVELOPED AT THE SAME TIME, YOU KNOW FOR YOU ALL TO DO THAT. THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM. UM I'VE BEEN TOLD, AND, UH, MY UNDERSTANDING WAS PERMITS WON'T BE ISSUED WITHOUT THOSE THINGS HAPPENING AS WE GO TO DEVELOP COMMERCIAL BUILDING, TOO. IF TOWN HOME ONE NOT BEING DEVELOPED. IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, RIGHT? UNDERSTOOD SO THEN JUST I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I UNDERSTAND. WHAT YOU'RE SAYING CORRECTLY. SO EVERYTHING ACROSS THE FRONTAGE ROAD TO 1378. WHICH INCLUDES THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. 
          PLAYGROUND THE CLUBHOUSE THE PARKING LOT TO THE AMENITIES AS WELL AS THE PICKLEBALL COURTS IN THE BASKETBALL COURTS ARE ALL ONE PROJECT. THAT COINCIDE WITH THE TOWN HOMES, CORRECT? YES, SIR. GREAT. THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN MAICI. YES, MA'AM. I JUST NEEDED A CLARIFICATION. 
          THIS THE LOT AREAS ARE 10,000 SQUARE FOOT. YES SIR. OK AND YOU MENTIONED THE PRICE RANGE OF 3 TO $400,000 PER MONTH. NOW THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT FOR A LOT. 
          THAT'S WITHOUT THE HOUSE DEVELOPMENT. CORRECT IS THAT CORRECT? YES OK, NOW AGAIN. I'M NOT THE INVESTOR. I'M JUST GOING OFF OF MEETINGS I'M HAVING WITH THEM. YOU MENTIONED THAT I. I JUST ASKED FOR CLARIFICATION. THAT'S ALL. OK, MR PARKER. YES, MAYOR, UM COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT IN ATTENDANCE. THE SEATS VACANT. UH HE DID PROVIDE ME A COUPLE OF COMMENTS. 
          UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T HAVE ANY ANSWERS TO ANY FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS, BUT I'M GONNA READ HIS TWO COMMENTS. UM ONE OF THEM IS CONCERNED WITH THE PICKLEBALL COURTS NEXT TO AN IRON FENCE. UM LOOKS LIKE BALLS IN THE STREET. WOULD BE HIS CONCERN. UM, THE SECOND COMMENT IS HE'D PREFER TO SEE MORE PARKING OR SPREAD OUT MORE ON THE REAR OF THE TOWN HOMES. SORRY I CAN'T PROVIDE YOU ANY MORE INFORMATION THAN THAT. THAT'S JUST THE TWO COMMENTS. BUT I DID WANT TO RELAY THAT INFORMATION. NO PROBLEM. UM, PARKING ON THE REAR. WE DEFINITELY HAVE ROOM FOR THAT, BECAUSE AGAIN, WE ADDED A CUSHION AGAIN OR MY THINKING WAS WHEN I CAME ABOARD WAS I TOLD HIM LET'S PROVIDE MORE ROOM FOR THE CITY FOR FUTURE GROWTH OF THAT AREA. SO YOU HAVE PARKING THE PICKLE BALL STUFF. I'LL TALK TO DEVELOPER MAYBE PART OF THAT'S GOING TO BE MORE OF A INSTEAD OF WROUGHT IRON. WE PUT MORE OF A STONE WALL AND THEN WROUGHT IRON BASED ON WHERE THOSE ARE AT GOOD. THANK YOU. OK? DON'T SEE ANY MORE QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW, BUT THERE MAY BE MORE SO. UM AT THIS POINT, UH, AGAIN WITH THIS ITEM, WE DO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING. SO MISS STORM WITH I WILL GO AHEAD AND OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ITEM. IF WE HAVE ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC WHO IS PRESENT AND WISHES TO STEP FORWARD TO SPEAK ON THIS, WE WOULD ASK THAT YOU DO SO AT THIS TIME, HOWEVER, BEFORE I BEFORE I CALL ON THOSE WE DID HAVE SOMEONE WHO SUBMITTED IN ADVANCE THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK. SO I WILL START WITH THAT INDIVIDUAL. SO MR DAVID DAHL. IF YOU WILL STEP FORWARD IF YOU WILL STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES WITH WHICH TO SPEAK TO COUNCIL. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. I GUESS I PROBABLY SUBMITTED BEFORE BECAUSE I ALWAYS DID THAT BEFORE. UM MY PRIMARY REASON TO BE HERE. PLAIN AND SIMPLE IS I LIVE IN PRESIDENTIAL ESTATES. AND THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF MY NEIGHBORS WHO HAVE COME OUT VERY FERVENTLY AGAINST THIS DEVELOPMENT. AND I WANTED TO STAND AS ONE WHO IS IN FAVOR OF THE LANDOWNER. BEING GRANTED HIS FAIR RIGHTS OF DEVELOPMENT UNDER THE DEVELOPMENT CODES. UH, AND THAT'S PRIMARILY WHAT IT IS. I TRUST YOU AS COUNSEL TO MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MASTER PLAN TO SEE THAT WE GET THE BEST PRODUCT. AS FOR HOW MUCH COMMERCIAL WELL, LET'S MAKE WHAT WORKS WHAT WE DON'T WANT OR A BUNCH OF VACANT BUILDINGS. AND TO SPEAK TO THAT. DEMANDING THAT THEY BE COMPLETED ALL UP FRONT. THAT PUTS THE DEVELOPER IN A POSITION OF BUILDING. TENANT FINISH BUILDINGS. IF WE CAN GIVE HIM SOME ALLOWANCE TO HAVE BUILT THE SPEC. FOR SOME OF THOSE BUILDINGS. IT MAY GIVE HIM AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEASE TO SOMEONE. WHO DOESN'T WANT STANDARD 1200 SQUARE FOOT BUILD BACK. THAT'S THAT'S PRIMARILY IT. I KNOW AN A LOT OF QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN RAISED ABOUT TRAFFIC. NONE OF US KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE. AND WE DO HAVE AN INTERSECTION 
          [01:00:06]
THAT THE CITY SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. TO MODIFY TO MOVE MORE TRAFFIC. WE HAVE A ROAD THAT WILL HANDLE A LOT OF TRAFFIC. HOW IT IMPACTS US. WE DON'T KNOW. I STRONGLY STRONGLY FEEL THAT THE T. I IS GOING TO COME BACK AND SAY LOOK, YOU GOT A BIG ROAD. YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE. THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO MOVE THEM. AND THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I SEE. BUT I JUST WISH YOU WELL AND HOPE YOU IN FACT, MAKE A AS YOU DO GOOD DECISION. THANK YOU, SIR. WITH THAT I WILL OPEN IT UP TO ANYONE WHO MAY NOT HAVE COMPLETED A FORM BUT IS HERE THIS EVENING AND WISHES TO BE HEARD UNDER THE PUBLIC HEARING. AND WE WILL MAKE SURE EVERYONE GETS A CHANCE. 
          WHEN YOU COME UP WE DO ASK THAT YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, AND THEN YOU'LL WE'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES WITH WHICH TO SPEAK AND PUT IN A PAPER. AFTER THAT, IF YOU CAN FILL IT OUT AFTERWARDS. THAT'S GREAT FOR US. IT HELPS US BE ABLE TO PROVIDE, UH CORRECT NAMES AND ADDRESS INFORMATION IN OUR MINUTES. OK GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS ALEXANDRA RALSON. I LIVE IN 1907 EAST FORT LANE. JUST DOWN ON THE COUNTRY CLUB. UM THIS DEVELOPMENT. I MEAN, JUST LIKE ANY OTHER RIGHT NOW. AND I'M TIRED OF. I MEAN, I'M SORRY, BUT I'M GONNA BE BRUTALLY HONEST HERE. THAT I'M TIRED OF DEVELOPERS TRYING TO CRAM AS MANY HOMES AS THEY CAN, UM, AS LEAST AMOUNT OF LAND. IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS ONE, FOR EXAMPLE, IT'S GONNA HAVE 82 HO. 
          HOUSING UNITS. LET'S SAY, CALL IT THAT ON 14 ACRES. WHATEVER IT IS AND THEY'RE GONNA HAVE HOUSES . THERE ARE 40 FT HIGH NEXT TO A PRESIDENTIAL ESTATE. LOOKING INTO THE BACKYARD. OF THE HOUSES IN THE PRESIDENTIAL STATE. THERE'S GONNA BE A 66 FULL 6 FT RETAINER WALL RETAINER WALL. IT DOESN'T SAY WHO'S GONNA BE MAINTAINING THAT WALL. I'M ASSUMING HO, A AND THOSE THINGS ARE EXPENSIVE. TO MAINTAIN I KNOW I LIVE IN ONE WITH THE WITH THE WALL. UM THERE'S GONNA BE APPROXIMATELY 200 CARS. GETTING IN AND OUT RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE GAS STATION. TRAFFIC. YEAH, IT WILL IMPACT TRAFFIC. DID ANYBODY EVEN CONSULT WITH THE SCHOOLS? OUR SCHOOLS ARE AT CAPACITY, AND THEN SOME. AS WE KNOW, AND OUR TAXES ARE GOING UP WITH THAT, BUT THAT'S A DIFFERENT ISSUE OVER THERE. UM DOES BACKYARD ON THE HOUSES. THERE ARE 75 FT WIDE. BY 25 FT. DEEP YOU CAN'T EVEN PUT THE SHED IN THERE. I MEAN, YOU CAN MAYBE EIGHT BY 10 SHED BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE SO THAT MEANS THAT PEOPLE ARE GONNA BE USING THEIR GARAGES. FOR STORAGE. PARKING CARS ON THE STREETS. WHICH IS GONNA AGAIN IMPACT THE PASSING THROUGH THE TRAFFIC. THROUGH THAT DEVELOPMENT. I KNOW MORE ABOUT MY AGE THAN I EVER WANTED TO KNOW. AND HOW IT WAS BUILT. IN A DRAINAGE AND ALL THAT. BUT LIKE I SAID, UH, IT'S WHY CAN'T WE JUST BUILD NORMAL LOTS OF 10,000 SQUARE FEET. AND BIG BACKYARDS AND BIG FRONT YARDS AND ENOUGH ROOM FOR EVERYBODY TO DRIVE THROUGH. I GUESS THAT'S TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR DEVELOPER BECAUSE THAT WON'T MAKE AS MUCH AS MONEY. THANK YOU. OK? THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK THIS EVENING DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING, SIR. AGAIN IF YOU WILL START WITH YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE. DARREN REEVES, 1603 KENNEDY DRIVE, WALLY, TEXAS , UH, THE QUESTION I HAVE IS, UM THEY ARE PRETTY MUCH BUILDING A BASKETBALL COURT AND MY BACKYARD . UM IT DOESN'T MENTION UH, IF THEY WILL PUT LIGHTS OR ANY PROPOSAL FOR LIGHTS. UH, SO I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE PLANS ARE THERE AND WHAT THE FUTURE UM, RESTRICTIONS ARE ON THAT. AND IF THEY DO, UM, WHAT IS THE, UH, CITY ORDINANCE ON USAGE ON THE PICKLE PICKLEBALL COURTS, UH, ON THE BASKETBALL COURTS ON THE PLAYGROUNDS. UM, FOR NOISE FOR, UH UH, FOR PRIVACY IN MY OWN, UH , LIKE I SAID, IN MY OWN BACKYARD, BECAUSE, I LIVE RIGHT THERE ON THE CORNER, UH, THERE THAT COMES AROUND AND SO 
          [01:05:05]
BASICALLY THE WAY THE PLAN LANDS OUT THAT BASKETBALL COURT WILL BE PRETTY MUCH RIGHT THERE. UM AND SO IF THERE ARE PLANS, EITHER NOW OR IN THE FUTURE, UH, FOR LIGHTS, II. I AM DEFINITELY OPPOSED TO THAT. BECAUSE WHAT? WHAT RESTRICTIONS ARE THERE FOR THEM TO SOMEBODY TO BE OUT THERE . UH, ANY TIME OF THE NIGHT LIGHTS ON IN THE BASKETBALL COURT PLAYING PICKLE BALL, AND THEN OBVIOUSLY THE NOISE THAT COMES ALONG WITH KIDS HANGING OUT THERE NOT OPPOSED TO KIDS HANGING OUT. THAT'S FINE. I'M NOT, UH, THAT I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THERE'S SOME CONTROLS IN PLACE THAT WE'RE THINKING AHEAD AND NOT JUST BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY THAT'S GOING INTO THIS. WE'RE JUST GONNA PUT STUFF THERE WHO'S GONNA RUN IT HOW IT'S GONNA MANAGE ALL OF THAT STUFF STILL UP IN THE AIR, AND IF THEY'RE GONNA CONTINUE JUST TO THROW THINGS OUT. OR UM, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A LOT MORE CERTAINTY. CLARITY ON WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN, UH, FOR THINGS THAT ARE GONNA BE THAT ARE GONNA LAND IN MY BACKYARD. UH, SO I'D LIKE TO KNOW THAT. UM AND THEN, ALSO AGAIN. I MEAN, I JUST DON'T THINK THIS IU I WAS HERE BEFORE, AND I USED THE WORD HODGEPODGE, AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT THIS IS. THIS IS A HODGEPODGE OF THIS KIND OF HOUSE. THIS KIND OF HOUSE THIS PLAYGROUND THIS COMMERCIAL, AND THAT DOESN'T FIT IN. WELL HERE. I'VE LIVED IN WILEY FOR, UH, IT'LL BE 26 YEARS IN MAY, AND THERE'S NOTHING LIKE THAT AROUND. I KNOW HE'S TRYING TO FIT A COLLEGE PARK THEME. UM I JUST DON'T THINK THAT FITS. 
          WILEY UM IT DOESN'T. UH, IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE FOR WHERE WE ARE, UH, THE COMMUNITY THAT WE ARE IN, SO I THINK WE ARE TRYING TO JUST CRAM A WHOLE LOT OF SQUARE PEGS INTO A ROUND HOLE. 
          JUST OUT OF THE CONVENIENCE, UH, OF PUTTING A, UH, A COLLEGE THERE, BUT THERE'S NOT A LOT OF CLARITY ON WHAT THIS IS ACTUALLY GOING TO LOOK LIKE GOING FORWARD AGAIN. WHO'S GONNA MAINTAIN IT? WHAT IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE, UH, ON ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS IN A FEW YEARS THAT THIS GOES FORWARD, SO I LIKE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THOSE KIND OF THINGS BEFORE THIS IS EVEN APPROVED AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THE CITY ORDINANCES ARE AGAINST LIGHTS, PARKS, THOSE KIND OF THINGS OR WHEN THEY CAN BE OPEN WHEN THEY CAN BE CLOSED. AND THEN WHO'S GOING TO MANAGE THOSE , AND, UH AND MAINTAIN THOSE IF THIS IS A PRIVATELY OWNED, PRIVATELY FUNDED, KIND OF, UH, OPERATION PART BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY OTHER LIKE THAT IN THE CITY. OK? AND WE CAN DEFINITELY POTENTIALLY WE ASK THEM THOSE QUESTIONS FOR YOU. SO THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE HERE THIS EVENING THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK DURING THIS PUBLIC HEARING. OK, WE DO HAVE ONE MORE. AGAIN IF YOU'LL START WITH YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE. MY NAME IS LYNETTE. HOW YOU WAIT TILL YOU GET TO M? WE WON'T. WE WON'T START THE TIME TILL AFTER YOU STATED YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, THOUGH. OK? LYNETTE HARWELL. I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT OF WILEY FOR 30 YEARS AT 401. TRUMAN DRIVE. WHEN THE PRESIDENTIAL ESTATES FIRST WENT IN. IT WAS A CUSTOM HOME NEIGHBORHOOD BUILT BY BARON COOK. UH ABOUT EIGHT OR NINE MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD AFTER ABOUT 12 HOUSES WERE BUILT. HE SOLD OFF TO A TRACK HOME BUILDER. THAT WAS UNITED HOME CRAFT. THEN THEY SOLD OFF TO THE NEXT TRACK HOME BUILDER, WHICH WAS GOLF HOMES. SO FROM THERE. 
          THERE WAS TWO LOTS LEFT, AND THOSE REMAINING LOTS GOT HOME GOT SOLD TO CHOICE HOMES. WE HAD AN HO A IN PLACE. AND WITHIN THE FIRST FIVE YEARS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. IT DISMANTLED ITSELF. SO WE HAVE NO HO A IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. WE PRETTY MUCH TAKE CARE OF IT OURSELVES. I PICK UP THE LITTER. OTHER PEOPLE CUT THE WEEDS THAT GROW IN THE CURBSIDE THEMSELVES. WE HAVE STREETS THAT NEED REPAIRED IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ESTATES THAT WE DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY'LL EVER GET TO THEM. BUT MY CONCERN IS THAT THAT LAND HAS BEEN AGRICULTURAL LAND FOR OVER 8090 YEARS, AND IN THE PAST 10 YEARS, PEOPLE HAVE LOOKED AT THAT LAND TO DO EXACTLY WHAT THIS DEVELOPER WOULD LIKE TO DO NOW AND WHAT THEY DID IS THEY LOOKED AT IT AND THEY DID THEIR HOMEWORK BEFORE THEY BOUGHT THE LAND. IN THIS CASE, THEY'VE PURCHASED THE LAND AND NOW WANT TO DO WHAT WE SEE UP ON THE SCREEN. BUT IT'S JUST IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA. IT'S NOT FEASIBLE TO PUT THAT THAT DEVELOPMENT ON THAT PROPERTY TO CRAM ALL THOSE HOMES IN THERE. I THINK THAT I HEARD THE DEVELOPER SAY THAT THE LOTS ARE 10,000 SQUARE FEET, BUT THE HOMES ARE 3000 TO 3500 SQUARE FEET. THAT MEANS THEY HAVE NO YARD WHATSOEVER. SO I GUESS YOU JUST NEED A PAIR OF SCISSORS TO CUT 
          [01:10:03]
YOUR GRASS. AND SO I GUESS THAT'S GOOD FOR PEOPLE THAT YOU KNOW LIKE THAT WITH THE ZERO LOT LINE AND THEN THE TOWN HOMES CRAMMED IN THERE AND THEN COMMERCIAL UP FRONT. IT'S JUST NOT FEASIBLE TO PUT ALL THAT ON THAT LITTLE BIT OF LAND, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY KEEP SAYING THEY'RE GOING TO MOVE THINGS AROUND AND CHANGE THIS CHANGE THAT THE MAN THAT LIVES ON KENNEDY IS CORRECT. IT'S JUST A HODGEPODGE OF A MESS RIGHT NOW, AND IT MAKES ME VERY UPSET, AND I WASN'T ABLE TO SPEAK AT THE PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING BECAUSE THE PLANNING AND ZONING PEOPLE HAD ME SO UPSET THAT I WASN'T ABLE TO SPEAK, BUT I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME. IT'S JUST NOT A GOOD IDEA. THERE'S A FLOOD ZONE IN THE BACK OF THAT PROPERTY THAT YOU CAN ONLY GO SO FAR BACK. YOU CAN'T JUST KEEP BUYING MORE LAND AND ADDING MORE THINGS BECAUSE IT'S OWNED BY THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS, THE FLOOD PLAIN WHERE THE MUDDY CREEK RESERVOIR IS BACK THERE, IT'S JUST IN MY OPINION, JUST IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA. PEOPLE HAVE LOOKED AT IT BEFORE. LIKE I SAID. IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE. THE ZONING JUST SHOULDN'T BE CHANGED TO RESIDENTIAL AT THIS TIME. 
          IT'S JUST NOT FEASIBLE, AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW WHEN THE TRAFFIC REPORT WILL BE READY FOR US TO SEE BECAUSE I'VE KIND OF BEEN DOING MY OWN TRAFFIC REPORT THE LAST TWO WEEKENDS AND TO PUT 500 MORE CARS IN THAT AREA OF COUNTRY CLUB AT 544. IT'S JUST NOT A SAFE IDEA AT ALL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE HERE THIS EVENING? WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK DURING THIS PUBLIC HEARING? OK? THE STORM. PLEASE LET THE RECORD REFLECT THAT NO ONE ADDITIONALLY HAS STEPPED FORWARD TO SPEAK. SO WITH THAT I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. 
          AND I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. UH, BASED ON SOME OF THE COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS THAT WERE PRESENTED, UH, THESE MAY BE FOR YOU, MR HASKINS. THEY MAY BE FOR THE DEVELOPER. UM ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I'LL START WITH IS UH, THERE WAS THE TI A SO A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS. WHEN WOULD THAT BE? WHEN WOULD THAT BE SEEN? AS FAR AS, UH UM WE ACTUALLY PUT IT IN, UM, THE GENERAL CONDITIONS OF THE, UH UM PD REQUIREMENTS THAT A TI A WILL BE, UM, TURNED IN AND REVIEWED BEFORE AN APPROVAL OF THE PRELIMINARY PLOT. OK? SO THAT WOULD COME AFTER ZONING APPROVAL, BUT IT WOULD COME BEFORE THEY WERE ALLOWED TO START BUILDING BEFORE THEY'D EVEN BE TURNED INTO THE RESULTS OF THE TRAFFIC STUDY. YES, SIR. WE ALSO HAD QUESTIONS REGARDING AND THIS MAY BE FOR THE DEVELOPER. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO SPEAK BETTER TO ORDINANCES. MAYBE NOT. I DON'T KNOW AS FAR AS THE BASKETBALL COURTS, PICKLE COURTS, PICKLE BALL COURTS, WHAT KIND OF QUIET HOURS WE MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE AND IF THERE ARE ANY PLANS FOR LIGHTING OK, UM, WE HAVE A, UH, ORDINANCE IN SECTION SEVEN FOR SPILLOVER LIGHTING. AND THAT'S E. AND THEN SECTION F IS, UH, NOISE NEAR RESIDENTIAL USES SO IT WOULD LIMIT THOSE UM, TO GIVE US AN IDEA OF KIND OF WHAT THAT SPEAKS TO IF YOU COULD. I'M NOT A, UH, LUMINOUS ENGINEER, BUT IT BASICALLY OUR LIGHTING. STANDARD SAYS THAT YOU CAN'T BE MORE THAN 0.5 FT CANDLE AT A HEIGHT OF 4 FT AT THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY LINE. I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE HOW MUCH LIGHTING THAT IS. UM BUT WE CAN REQUIRE ONE THING THAT WE CAN ASK FOR. UM, YOU DO SEE, UH, ILLUMINATION STUDIES WITH SITE PLANS TO SHOW WHAT WHAT THOSE LIGHTS WILL BE AT THE AT THOSE PARTICULAR AREAS. AND OUR NOISE ORDINANCE IS, UM 56 DB A, UM IN THE DAYTIME AND 49 BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 10 AND 649 IS SIMILAR TO 49 YEARS LIKE A VACUUM CLEANER, MAYBE ISH. WE COULD GOOGLE SOMETHING REAL QUICK. SO IT'S NOT BUT RELATIVELY QUIET, I I'D BE I WOULD BE WILLING TO BET THAT THE TRAFFIC ON COUNTRY CLUB WOULD BE LOUDER THAN WHAT 49 DECIBELS IS. SO IN OTHER WORDS AT DURING DURING THOSE HOURS THAT ARE SET ASIDE AS QUIET HOURS. YOU YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO. OK, SO IT'S SIMILAR TO A DISHWASHER, SO IT SHOULD NOT BE SOMETHING THAT CARRIES OVER TO THE NEIGHBORS. IF THOSE HOURS ARE PROPERLY OBSERVED, YES, SIR. 
          OK SO I WILL ASK YOU, SIR. AS THE DEVELOPER DO YOU HAVE PLANS IN GENERAL FOR LIGHTING FOR THOSE COURTS FOR THEM TO BE USED IN THE EVENINGS? I'M ACTUALLY JUST THE ARCHITECT. I HAVE TO GO. NO NO PROBLEM. YOU KNOW YOU HAVE SOMEONE ELSE, BUT I CAN SPEAK FOR THEM. I WASN'T SURE PLANS DOESN'T. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS WHEN WE DO THE CIVIL. THE CIVIL WILL BE INVOLVED WITH THE LIGHTING. AND THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT AND ALL THAT WILL BE ON HIS SPREADSHEET FOR THE ILLUMINATION FOR THAT, SAME AS WE DO FOR A PARK OR ANY ANY OUTDOOR, UH, INDIVIDUAL CONCERNING THE FLOOD PLAIN IN THE BACK. WE HAVE A RETENTION POND BACK THERE TO CAPTURE THE 
          [01:15:04]
WATER AS WELL. SO WE'VE WE'VE LOOKED AT THAT, UM ANOTHER COMMENT THAT I LIKE TO MAKE IS THAT I. I CAN'T SPEAK FOR WHAT HAPPENED? 30 OR 40 YEARS AGO. I CAN ONLY SPEAK FOR THE LAST TWO MONTHS THAT I'VE GOTTEN INVOLVED AND WHAT WE'VE AS THE FIRM DEMANDED FOR US TO COME WORK BASED ON WHAT WE'VE SEEN FROM THE COMMUNITY AND FROM THE CITY. UM MY DEVELOPER HAS DONE EVERYTHING HE CAN AND IS DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO MAKE MANY PEOPLE HAPPY AS POSSIBLE ON ALL SIDES. NOT EVERYBODY'S GONNA BE HAPPY THAT THAT'S JUST NO NOW WHERE IT'S GONNA GO. THAT'S JUST HOW IT IS. UM, BUT WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN WE DON'T MIND STILL MAKING SOME TWEAKS. I KNOW THEY SAY HODGEPODGE, BUT WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A LITTLE HODGEPODGE HERE AND THERE, AS THEY SAY, IN ORDER TO TRY TO MAKE IT FIT THE COMMUNITY. FIT THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE LAND THE USAGE OF THE LAND. YOU GOT A 25 FT FRONT BUILD LINE 25 IN THE REAR. YOU GOT 5 FT SIDES. THAT'S TYPICAL 10,000 SQUARE FOOT. THAT'S NO MORE NO LESS THAN WHAT ANY OTHER CITIES DOING SO WE'RE MEETING ALL THE REQUIREMENTS BASED ON WHAT THE CITY IS REQUIRING US TO DO? UM AND ANYTHING ELSE THE DEVELOPER HAS SAID WE'RE WILLING TO DO. UM SO WE'RE FROM A DEVELOPER STANDPOINT, WE'RE JUST NOT COMING IN AND LEAVING. WE'RE TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING WITH THE CITY TO WORK WITH THE CITY AND THE COMMUNITY. OK? MAYOR, PRO TEMP FINAL COMMENT. ON BUILDING NUMBER TWO. OF COMMERCIAL I'VE LOOKED AT THAT AFTER COUNCIL. 
          MAICI MADE HIS COMMENTS AND I THINK THE ONE THING THAT WOULD CONCERN ME IS THE BACK OF THAT BUILDING FACES 1378 MAJOR THOROUGHFARE. AND IF I'M DRIVING DOWN THAT ROAD, I'M GONNA BASICALLY SEE EITHER A BRICK OR STONE WALL. THAT'S IT. I WANT THAT. THAT'S ALL I'M GOING TO SEE AND I. I DON'T THINK I THINK THAT THAT'S IN MY ESTIMATION, KIND OF AN EYESORE. I'D LIKE TO SEE THE FRONT OF THE FRONT FACING BUSINESSES THAT MOVE THE BUILDING BACK INTO THE MIDDLE OF THAT. SECTION SO THAT YOU CAN SEE THE FRONT OF THE BUSINESSES AND I THINK BUSINESS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BUILDING. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S OK OR NOT, UH, BUT I LIKE TO PLAN OVERALL, I THINK YOU YOU LISTENED TO WHAT THE NEIGHBORS HAVE SAID. OVER AND OVER AS FAR AS THE SIZE OF THE LOTS, STOPPING THE PASSAGE OF TRAFFIC THROUGH WASHINGTON ON TO THE PRESIDENTIAL STATES. SO AGAIN, THESE ARE SMALL TWEAKS TO THE DESIGN. THERE'S A WAY IT SITS TODAY. BUT THAT BUILDING NUMBER TWO, IT IS KIND. I MEAN, I REALIZE WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO IS PROVIDE AS MUCH PARKING AS POSSIBLE TO THE BUSINESSES THERE AND BE SURE THAT YOU CAN HIT THE MAJORITY OF THE BUSINESS REQUIRED PARKING FOR THE SIZE OF THE SPACE THAT IT IS. I'M JUST NOT SURE THAT BY HAVING TO BACK THAT BUILDING PHASE 1378. THAT IS, IT IS AS AESTHETICALLY PLEASING AS IT COULD BE IN THAT IN THAT POSITION, II. I BELIEVE WE CAN MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO TRY TO ROTATE THAT AROUND. UM, NOW WHAT THAT'S GONNA DO OBVIOUSLY IS SHIFT THE ENTRANCES. EGRESS YOU KNOW, WHICH IS GONNA CHANGE THE PARK. UM ANOTHER OPTION IS WE TAKE THE PART FROM WHERE IT'S AT. WE FLIP THEM THEORETICALLY. 
          NOW THAT'S GONNA PUT COMMERCIAL BEHIND SOME OF THE RESIDENTIAL SO WE DIDN'T WANT TO DO THAT. 
          UM, NOW I'M JUST I'M JUST LOOKING AT THIS REAL QUICK IF WE WERE TO FLIP IT. BECAUSE WHEN I'M LAYING TO SOMETHING, WE FLIPPED IT. IT MOVES THE STREET UP. THAT'S GONNA THEORETICALLY GET RID OF THE CLUBHOUSE. IF THAT'S OK WITH THE CITY, WE GET RID OF THE CLUBHOUSE. YOU'RE STILL GONNA HAVE THE PARK, BUT HE JUST MOVES EVERYTHING UP, BUT THAT'S WHAT IT'S GONNA END UP TAKING IN ORDER TO GET WHAT WE NEED. I THINK IF THE BUILDING WAS IN THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PARKING LOT IN THE PARKING LOT WAS IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING TOWARDS THE STREET. IT DOESN'T REALLY MAKE THAT BIG A DIFFERENCE TO IT AS LONG AS YOU HAVE UH, VEGETATION MEDIUM AROUND THAT PARKING AREA. YOU COULD STILL MAINTAIN YOUR INGRESS AND EGRESS AND ALL YOU'D BE DOING IS TAKING BUILDING NUMBER TWO FROM ITS CURRENT. WE CAN OP THOSE THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM THERE RIGHT ON THAT PART. THAT'S I JUST AND THAT'S JUST MY THOUGHTS, AND MY DEVELOPERS WANT TO DO FOR EVERYBODY. WHAT WE CAN, UM COUNCILMAN MILICI. THANK YOU, MAYOR. UM WILL THE PARK BE GATED? THE PICKABLE COURTS THE PARK AREA WILL THAT BE GATED THAT ONLY THE RESIDENTS OF THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS OR ANYBODY IN WILEY CAN PARK? UH WELL, SINCE IT'S GONNA BE HO A MAINTAINED AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO END UP PUTTING A GATE ON IT BECAUSE IT'S FOR THE HO A SO THEN WHO WILL MAINTAIN THE HOURS OF THE OPERATIONS AND WE'LL SET THE RULES AND THE REGULATIONS ON HOW THAT ACCESS ON THAT PARK IS BEING OBTAINED. 
          YES OR NO? AGAIN WITH ANY ANY SUB VISION YOU'RE IN. SOME KIDS MAY COME ROLLING IN WITH FRIENDS. I UNDERSTAND THAT KIND OF THING. SO THAT'S THAT'S WHERE THE RESIDENTS WOULD END UP HAVING TO CALL AUTHORITIES TO DEAL WITH WHATEVER THAT IS, BUT THERE THERE WILL BE A GATE 
          [01:20:02]
THAT'S GONNA BE CODED. LIKE MOST H, A AS YOU GO INTO A POOL, UM, TO MAINTAIN THAT, UM PRETTY MUCH IT. YOU KNOW SO AND THAT IS THE ACCESS TO THE PICKABLE COURTS WILL BE GATED. WITH ACCESS TO THE WHOLE. THE WHOLE PARK WOULD BE THE PARK. OK, VERY GOOD NOW. GOING BACK TO MY INITIAL COMMENT THAT BUILDING ON, I GUESS. THE LEFT SIDE AS YOU ENTER. THAT'S A TWO FLOOR BUILDING. IS THAT CORRECT? I'M SORRY. YOU YOU'RE MAKING A TWO STORY BUILDING ON THE ON THE BUILDING. THAT'S SIDEWAYS. YES BILLING NUMBER ONE IS THAT A TWO? TWO STORIES. YES A STORY AND WHAT THAT MEANS. IT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NECESSARILY GONNA BE 25 FT. TALL. IT'S IT COULD BE IN WHAT WE CALL OPEN CEILING SO IT COULD BE 15 FT. TALL. THAT'S CONSIDERED TWO STORY NOT NECESSARILY TWO STORIES OF OCCUPANCY. OK AND THEN THE BUILDING NUMBER TWO, THE ENTRANCE TO THE PROPERTY. IS YOU HAVE TO ENTER THE AREA PART AND THEN ENTER FROM THE BACK END. SO FROM 1378, YOU MIGHT SEE WINDOWS. BUT THERE'S NO ENTRANCE. THERE'S NOT FRONT FACING 78. THE BACK OF THE BUILDING IS FACING 78. THE COUNTRY CLUB RIGHT NOW, WHEN WE END UP DESIGNING THE BUILDING, THERE'LL BE WINDOWS ON THE ON THE SMALL FRONT OF THAT BUILDING. UM AND THEN WRAPPING AROUND IT. SO I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT IT. I'VE WHAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT IT SINCE WE GOT THE PACKET. I GUESS I CAN SPEAK PERSONALLY FROM MY EXPERIENCE IN IN BEING AN INDUSTRY ON THE PORTION OF IT. I SEE MULTIPLE RESTAURANT SPACES IN THERE. HAVING A RESTAURANT. THAT'S FACING THE FRONTAGE OF THE ROAD. WITH BACK END OF IT, NOT THE FRONT OF IT. IT'S DETRIMENTAL TO GO AHEAD, MS. AS I WAS SAYING. CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT I THINK THIS IS WHAT UH, MAYOR APPROACH M FORRESTER ALREADY CORRECT TALKED TO HIM ABOUT AND THEY'RE GONNA MOVE. THEY'RE GONNA FLIP THAT BUILDING WHERE THE PARKING IS AND PUT THE PARKING WHERE THE BUILDING IS. 
          SO YOU CAN MAKE THEM BOTH FRONT FACING YES, BOTH. BOTH OF THESE WILL BE FRONT FACING THEM. YOU HAVE ENOUGH SPACE THERE? YEAH. WHAT THEY'LL DO IS BUILDING NUMBER TWO WILL GO WHERE THE PARKING FOR BUILDING NUMBER TWO IS CORRECT AND THE PARKING WILL GO WHERE THE BUILDING IS. AND JUST THAT'S IT. THE BUILDING. THAT'S FAIRLY TYPICAL WHEN YOU LOOK ACROSS THE STREET THERE'S PARKING IN THE FRONT AND YOU HAVE THE FRONT FACE OF THE BUILDING. I'M NOT LOOKING AT THE CROSS THE STREET. NOR WAS I HERE SITTING WHEN THE BUILDING ACROSS THE STREET WAS DEVELOPED. I'M LOOKING AT THIS ONE PARTICULAR AND I'M JUDGING THIS ONE BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE, SO FOR ME IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD WITH ANY OF THAT COMMERCIAL FUND DEVELOPMENT THEY HAVE TO FACE. 
          FRONT. OF COUNTRY CLUB. I DON'T WANT ANY VACANT SPACES SPECIFICALLY BEING THAT THERE ARE ALL THE WAY IN THE CORNER AND NOBODY SEES THEM. I UNDERSTAND THE THOUGHT PROCESS OF HAVING COMMERCIALS JUST TO HAVE IT, BUT IT'S ABOUT THE USE OF IT. THAT'S GONNA BE WHAT'S HELPFUL TO OUR CITIZENS AT THE END OF THE DAY. I ALSO ON BACK ON THE LOTS THAT ARE FACING LOST THERE NEXT TO THE PRESIDENTIAL ESTATES. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS CAN BE DONE AND MAYBE SOMETHING THAT I'D LIKE THOSE TO BE ONE STORY BUILDINGS, NOT TWO STORY BUILDINGS. THERE'S NOT MUCH SPACE BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL ESTATES AND THIS DEVELOPMENT SO ALL THOSE LOTS ON THAT LINE FACING OR BACK IN PRESIDENTIAL STATES. I'D LIKE THEM TO BE ONE STORY KIND OF MIRRORING THE HOUSES THAT ARE ACROSS THE STREET FROM THERE. NOBODY'S LOOKING AT EACH OTHER'S BACKYARD OR FRONT YARD OR ANY OF THAT. I DON'T WANT THIS TO BE A HUGE DEVELOPMENT AND THEN HAVE HOUSE THAT IT'S 18 TO 202,000 SQUARE FEET. SO I'D LIKE MAYBE THAT SIDE OF IT TO BE A SMALLER SIZE HOUSE WHERE THE 10,000 SQUARE FOOT LOT, SO THAT SHOULD FIT A 24 3000 SQUARE FOOT HOME. ONE STORY INSTEAD OF BEING A TWO STORY WHICH WERE MAYOR OF THE HOUSES THERE ON THAT SIDE. SO THAT'S KIND OF THE MAJORITY OF THE ISSUES AND CONCERNS THAT THE BUILDING THE BUILDING THAT WE HAVE FACING THE STREET RIGHT NOW. IN THE PARKING IN THE REAR. YOU'RE OK WITH THAT, BECAUSE IT'S FACING THE FRONT BE FRONTAGE. OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S GONNA BE SOME, POSSIBLY IN THE BACK, BECAUSE IT'S GONNA BE A LARGE BUILDING. INSTEAD OF FLIPPING IT. NO. I'D LIKE TO FLIP BOTH OF THEM FACING FACING UM, FACING THE ROAD, NOT NOT SIDEWAYS. CLEAR. SO THAT'S THAT'S ALL I HAVE. OK? SO DEFINITELY HAVE DIFFERENT FEEDBACK. I KNOW WE HAVE, UH, ONE OF THE OTHER REPRESENTATIVES HERE. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S WHAT THE WHAT THE BEST WAY IS TO 
          [01:25:04]
MOVE FORWARD JASON. I KNOW WE'VE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WHAT WE COULD CHANGE THIS OR WE COULD CHANGE THAT. BEFORE YOU ANSWER, COUNCILMAN STRANG. YOU WISH TO SPEAK. I DID HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. I AGREE WITH THE MAYOR, PROTEIN. UM K, MALI'S COMMENTS ABOUT THE BUILDING. I THINK IT'S GREAT. YOU'RE FLIPPING IT AROUND. UM, TENNIS COURT. SO IS THAT GONNA HAVE THE SAME 8 FT METAL FENCE THAT, UH, THE WHOLE THING HAS WELL BASED ON THE P. COURT COMMENT. YOU KNOW, WE'RE POPPING UP AND HAVING THE STONE IN THE BACK OF THAT, YOU KNOW? FROM THE , UH PRESIDENTIAL STATES. UM AND THEN THAT WAY, THERE'S NO BALLS AND SO IT MAY BE EVEN A LITTLE BIT HIGHER THAN THAN EIGHT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE CITY WILL ALLOW. BECAUSE YOU GOT ENGINEERING INVOLVED. OK SO THERE'S NO DANGER OF BALLS FLYING OVER INTO THE RESIDENTIAL YARDS. OK, AND THEN, UM YEAH, AND I ALSO AGREE, TOO, THAT THE TOP ROW THERE NORTHERNMOST ROW THAT ABOUTS UP AGAINST PRESIDENTIAL STATE SHOULD BE ONE STORY. I SEE YOU'RE ALLOWING FOR A 25 FT BUILDING SETBACK LINE. IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYTHING IS PRETTY STANDARD AS YOU INTEND TO ASK FOR ANY VARIANCES ON ANY OF THESE SPOTS. NO, SIR. NO NOW AGAIN. THIS THE ONE STORY IS NEW . SO I I'VE GOT TO GO BACK AND TALK TO THE DEVELOPER AND SO FORTH. BUT PLANNING FOR SOME STORY WORTHY NO. NO, NO, THAT'S UM MINIMUM DWELLING SIZE 2400 FT , THOUGH, SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM STICKING A SINGLE STORY ON 10,000 SQUARE FEET OF THAT SIZE WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT SETBACKS, RIGHT? IT'S IT. SORRY IT IS NOT A PROBLEM. THE CONCERN IS GONNA BE JUST PEOPLE DON'T LIKE TO HEAR IT. BUT IS IT WORTH THE INVESTOR DOING THAT OR NOT, BUT AGAIN, THE PENS AND HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WAYS WE WE'VE WE'VE SHOWN THAT WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN AND I'LL GO BACK TO THEM. AND IF THEY SAY ONE STORY OR MAYBE I'M JUST TALKING OUT LOUD RIGHT NOW TRYING TO MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY. AND MAYBE THAT THAT WE TAKE AWAY A COUPLE OF LOTS MOVE THE, UH, PLAYGROUND OVER TO THE LEFT. UM AND BE ABLE TO REWORK SOME OF THE COMMERCIAL A LITTLE BIT IN THAT AREA AS WELL THAT WAY THEN. THE, UH DEVELOPERS GETTING A LITTLE MORE COMMERCIAL, WHICH IS TAKEN UP FOR THE ONE STORY POSSIBLY THESE ARE JUST THINGS THAT I HAVE TO TALK WITH THEM ABOUT THAT, OK, WE'LL BE INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT Y'ALL COOK UP. YEAH, THANK YOU. THAT'S IT. OK? COUNCILMAN MAYOR THIS IS OUR THIRD. TIME HERE AND ON THIS PROJECT. UM, I DO APPRECIATE DOCTOR KHAN. YOU OR PERSONALLY, UH, GETTING INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT OUR CITIZENS GETTING INVOLVED IN THIS DEVELOPMENT OVERALL FROM PRESIDENTIAL STATE IN THIS AREA, I THINK PERSONALLY SPEAKING AGAIN, AND I CAN ONLY TALK ABOUT ME PERSONALLY, THERE IS A SOLUTION THAT I THINK CAN BE HAD BASED ON THE FEEDBACK THAT YOU GOT TODAY. BASED ON THE FEEDBACK THAT I'M HEARING UM, HAVING THAT TOP LINE MAYBE ONE STORY WHICH I DON'T I AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN STANG THAT I DON'T THINK THAT SHOULD BE A PROBLEM OF FITTING IN OR WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO, BUT I THINK IT WOULD APPEASE OUR CITIZENS ON THE PRESIDENT. PRESIDENTIAL ESTATE AREA. UM HAVING SOME OF THE SURROUNDINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE COMMERCIAL AREA. UM MAYBE EVEN DISCUSSING SOME OF THE HARD LINE WHO THE DEVELOPERS ARE GONNA BE AND WHAT LOTS ARE GONNA BE. I'D ASK THE MAYOR AND MY FELLOW COUNCILMENS. MAYBE WE TABLE THIS ITEM FOR THE NEXT THREE MEETINGS. AND WE CAN HAVE A DISCUSSION AFTER THAT, WITH SOME MORE CONCRETE INFORMATION THAT WE CAN MAKE A DECISION BASED ON WHAT WE IT'S BEING PROPOSED AND WHAT WE'RE NOT PUTTING ON SO I'LL ASK AND OBVIOUSLY I'LL LET I'LL LET YOU AND DOCTOR COMP POTENTIALLY WEIGH IN AS WELL. THOSE COUNCILS HAVE OPTIONS TO POTENTIALLY TABLE A TABLE SO THAT THEY COULD GO BACK AND POTENTIALLY ADDRESS QUESTIONS. IF THAT WAS THE WILL OF THE COUNCIL, SO YES, I KNOW THERE ARE RULES AROUND PLATTS VERSUS ZONING AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE ACTION WITHIN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME SO YOU CAN TABLE IT FOR UP TO THREE MEETINGS. UM AND MR PARKER YEAH, I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE COUNSEL TO TRY TO PROVIDE THE ARCHITECTURE, SOME CLEAR GUIDANCE BECAUSE AS MY, UH COUNCILMAN MAICI SAID. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT THIS DEVELOPER HAS BEEN HERE AND THEY HAVE ADDRESSED. THE MAJORITY OF THE CONCERNS EVERY TIME AND IT SEEMS LIKE THEY JUST KEEP COMING BACK, AND THERE'S JUST MORE CONCERNS AND I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE Y'ALL TO PROVIDE SOME CONCRETE DIRECTION. SO THAT THAT EITHER THIS PROJECT MOVES FORWARD OR IT DOES NOT. INSTEAD OF WE WANT TO SEE THIS AND THEY COME BACK, AND NOW WE DON'T LIKE THIS. SO LET'S DO THIS. AND, UM IT'S GOT TO BE FRUSTRATING, AND THERE'S AN EXPENSE OF OBVIOUSLY TO DR KHAN, UM, FOR PAYING THE 
          [01:30:01]
ARCHITECT HERE AND I JUST I. I DON'T WANT TO BELABOR THIS AND KEEP DRAGGING IT OUT. OK, SO WITH THAT, AND I DO RECOGNIZE THAT, OBVIOUSLY, UH, YOU'RE NEWER TO THE PROJECT, BUT THE PROJECT HAS BEEN ONGOING. NOT TO MENTION. UH, I KNOW OUR CITIZENS TAKE THE TIME TO COME AND SPEAK AND POINT OUT THEIR CONCERNS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS NOW. UM OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE HEARD FROM COUNCIL ON ON VARIOUS THINGS, SUCH AS DETERMINING PLANS FOR LIGHTING AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          THAT WILL BE ON THOSE ON SOME OF THOSE AREAS. YOU'VE HEARD SOME FEEDBACK ABOUT THE COMMERCIAL AS WELL AS UM FROM AT LEAST A COUPLE MEMBERS AND I'LL LET ANYONE SPEAK HERE IN A SECOND THAT WISHES TO ABOUT MORE OF A TRANSITION BETWEEN THE TWO, WHICH OBVIOUSLY IS SOMETHING THAT YOU GUYS HAVE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS AND SIT DOWN. UH JUST SO I CAN GET A LITTLE JUST A LITTLE MORE CLARIFICATION WHEN I GO BACK BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST A MATTER OF ME JUST BEING UP HERE. 
          THAT'S THAT'S NOT A BIG IT'S GOING BACK DOING ALL THE WORK MOVING STUFF AROUND TO TRY TO MAKE EVERYBODY HAPPY. UM AGAIN BECAUSE I HAVE I'M GETTING PAID BY MY BOSS. UM IF WE WERE TO LOSE A LOT OR SO FROM THE RESIDENTIAL STATES TO GET THOSE ONE STORIES, AND THEY AGREE TO THAT WITH THE MEMBERS BE OPEN FOR US TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE. COMMERCIAL. WHERE WE DID HAVE MORE FRONTAGE COMMERCIAL. THERE. IN ORDER FOR THAT TO HAPPEN, BECAUSE I FROM A DRAWING STANDPOINT, WE'VE GOT A SHIFT IN ORDER FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. UM TO MAKE IT WHERE IT IT'S FEASIBLE FOR THE INVESTORS. BASICALLY IS WHAT THAT PART OF IT COMES DOWN TO WHEN I'VE TALKED WITH THEM. 
          OK? SO I'LL ASK. WHERE WOULD YOU ENVISION THAT POTENTIAL CHANGE JUST TAKING JUST TAKING THESE COMMERCIALS AND SLIDING THESE UP A LITTLE BIT, TAKING THESE LIGHTS AND MOVING THE PICKLE BALL OVER SLIGHTLY. THAT'S IT IN ORDER TO BECAUSE THE COMMERCIAL IS WHAT'S GOING TO JUSTIFY THE COST OF THE ONE STORY BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN'T SELL THOSE LIGHTS AS YOU CAN. FOR A TWO STORY IT'S JUST HOW THAT IS, UM AND AGAIN, THAT'S YOU KNOW, GENERALLY SPEAKING, THEY'D SAY NO. BUT THEY'RE TRYING TO WORK WITH EVERYBODY HERE AND YOU KNOW IT MAY PASS IT MAY NOT, BUT WE'RE TRYING SO AND MAYOR PRO TEM I THINK WANTS TO TRY TO SPEAK TO THAT. SO I. I WANNA LET HIM YEAH, THANK YOU. I. I THINK TO THE CITY MANAGER'S POINT. WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE CHANGES TO A PLAN THAT WE'VE ALL GIVEN FEEDBACK ON FOR THE THIRD TIME. AND WE'RE GETTING READY TO MAKE 1/4. CHANGE THE ITERATION TO SEND BACK TO DR KHAN, WHO HAS WORKED AT THIS PLAN AND TURNED IT OVER TO THE ARCHITECT. TO COME BACK WITH THIS WITH THE PLAN THAT WE ALL SAID AT THE LAST MEETING. BRING THIS BACK. IT LOOKS GREAT. AND SO I WOULD BE APPREHENSIVE TO TRY TO SAY, GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AND REDUCE THE SIZE A LOT AND CHANGE THE SIZE OF HOME. THE BUILDING THE BUILDING. REQUIREMENTS AND ORDINANCES WITHIN THE CITY OF WILEY. STATE AND STIPULATE 10,000 SQUARE FOOT LOT. 2400 SQUARE FOOT HOME. THEY'VE COME BACK WITH THAT EXACT THING BEFORE THEY CAME BACK WITH THE SMALLER HOMES AND A SMALLER LOTS. HE'S GONE OUT OF HIS WAY TO MAKE THIS WORK. IT. AND I THINK THAT REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE DO. AND WE ALL KNOW THIS. NOT EVERYBODY IS GOING TO BE HAPPY WITH EVERY DECISION THAT'S MADE. AND I THINK THAT THIS USE OF THE PROPERTY AND THE WAY THAT IT'S LAID OUT RIGHT NOW AND WITH THE FLIP OF THE BUILDING THE BACKS 1378 TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PARKING LOT THAT WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER. I THINK WITH THAT CHANGE ALONE. THAT IN MY ESTIMATION, IT'S AN ACCEPTABLE PLAN. I THINK THE ORDINANCES THAT ARE SET FORTH WITH NOISE AND LIGHTING. WILL SUFFICE. AND THIS IS THIS. WE WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO TALK ABOUT THE ZONING. WE'RE NOT APPROVING. THE SITE PLAN. WE'RE APPROVING THE ZONING. IT'S BASED ON THIS CONCEPT DRAWING WE'RE NOT APPROVING THIS DRAWING THE WAY IT SITS TODAY. WE'RE APPROVING THE ZONING FOR THIS AND WE'RE APPROVING THE CONCEPT. AND I, FOR ONE, AGREED THAT THIS IS THE RIGHT CONCEPT. AND THAT THE ZONING REQUEST IS CORRECT. SO, I. I DON'T HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTION. I MEAN ANY FURTHER COMMENTS OTHER THAN WE'RE GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE WE'RE ASKING THE DEVELOPER TO JUMP THROUGH HOOP, BUT WE'RE MOVING THE HOOP FROM THE LEFT TO THE RIGHT. EVERY TIME THEY JUMP. WE MOVE IT FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER, AND IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. AND IT'S GOT TO BE FRUSTRATING, EXASPERATING FOR THEM ALMOST MORE SO THAN IT IS FOR US BECAUSE WE SIT UP HERE AND SPEND 45 MINUTES ON IT. AND THEN THREE WEEKS FROM NOW, WE'RE GONNA SPEND 45 MORE MINUTES ON IT BECAUSE WE DON'T LIKE THE WAY 
          [01:35:01]
THE DEFENSE LOOKS OR WE DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY THAT THIS TREE SITS ON THIS LOT BACK IN THE VERY BACK CORNER OF THE DEPRESSION IN THAT IN THAT UH, WATER RETENTION PROGRAM DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT'S DEEP ENOUGH FROM THIS DRAWING BECAUSE THERE'S NOT ENOUGH SHADOW ON IT ON THE TOP RIGHT HAND SIDE. SO I THINK WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS A CONCEPT. AND THE ZONING OF THE CONCEPT. AM I CORRECT, JASON? YES, SIR. THANK YOU. I HAVE NO FURTHER COMMENTS. OK? JOHNSON HOOVER, WERE YOU LOOKING TO SPEAK? I, UH I HAVE A TENDENCY TO AGREE WITH MAYOR PRO TEMP. UM HIGGS. HE'S COME BACK. 
          THIS IS THE THIRD TIME UM THIS. CONCEPT. THE ZONING LOOKS LIKE WHAT WE'VE BEEN ASKING FOR OVER THE LAST THREE TIMES. AND UH, I DON'T KNOW. HOW MUCH ELSE DR. KHAN CAN CAN DO WITH WITHOUT I MEAN, HE'S ASKING FOR THE ZONING. SO I LIKE THE CONCEPT. HE'S HE'S MADE ALL THE CHANGES THAT WE'VE ASKED FOR. UP TO THIS POINT AGREE. I ALSO AGREE WITH MY PRO TEMPS WITH FLIP THE COMMERCIAL BUILDING IN THE PARKING LOT. AND THE CONCEPT LOOKS GOOD TO ME. OK? ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM ANY MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. OK, THAT MAY I APPROACH HIM NOW. MAYOR IF YOU'RE PREPARED FOR A MOTION, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. THAT'S WHERE I WAS HEADED SINCE NO ONE HAD REQUESTED TO MAKE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS BE OPEN TO A MOTION MAYOR PRO THANK YOU, MAYOR. I'D LIKE TO APPROVE THIS PROGRAM APPROVE THIS. ITEM.

UH, THIS LAST YEAR, AND AS YOU'VE ALL RECEIVED, THERE'S A COPY OF OUR ANNUAL REPORT THAT WAS APPROVED AT OUR LAST BOARD MEETING IN THE PACKET. I'M JUST GONNA GO OVER SOME HIGH LEVEL. UH EXPENSES IN SOME OF THE, UH MORE NOTABLE ITEMS IN HERE, BUT, UH, BEGINNING FUND BALANCES LAST YEAR WAS $9.8 MILLION, AND IT WAS LATER ADJUSTED UP TO THE 10.7 MILLION. UH, FOR A BEGINNING FUND BALANCE. TOTAL REVENUE IS 5.1 MILLION, AND THE MAJORITY OF THAT, OF COURSE WERE FUNDED THROUGH SALES TAX OF 4.6. UH, WITH SALES TAX THAT WAS UP 11.25% THIS LAST YEAR, UH, ADDITIONAL REVENUE INCLUDED LEASE INCOME AND WE HAD TWO PROPERTIES. WE SOLD THIS LAST YEAR FOR NET EFFECT FOR OUR GAIN LOSS SALE PROPERTY OF $75,000. WE SOLD 106 BIRMINGHAM, WHICH WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT IN A MINUTE AND ALSO SOLD A PROPERTY OVER OFF. ALAN IS STILL FINISHING. HOPEFULLY THEY START CONSTRUCTION IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS AS WELL.

MILLION. WE DID ACQUIRE ONE PIECE OF PROPERTY FOR 345,000 INFRASTRUCTURE WAS ONLY 130,000.

UH IF YOU'LL RECALL OUR EXPENSES PROJECTED AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS LAST YEAR'S BUDGET, WE'RE ALMOST $16 MILLION, SO 16,000,016 MILLION. UH, THAT INFRASTRUCTURE LINE ITEM WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A LOT LARGER.

UH THE PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST THEN REPRESENTED THERE IN THE 1.2 MILLION. WE HAVE ONE LOAN. THAT WAS THE GERARD LOAN, WHICH IS DUE FOR FULL REPAYMENT IN DECEMBER. 2026 THE SERIES 2021 NOTE, AS YOU'LL RECALL THAT WAS ACTUALLY TO REFINANCE PREVIOUS DEBT THAT HAD BEEN INCURRED FOR 544 GATEWAY PROPERTY IN BROWN 78. IT ALSO DID ALLOW FOR US TO ACQUIRE THE $3 MILLION PROPERTY FROM THE CITY FOR THE EPA SUPERFUND SITE, WHICH COMPLETED OUR PROPERTY ACQUISITION FOR 544 GATEWAY PROPERTY AND THE SERIES 2022 NOTE. UH, WAS ACTUALLY $8 MILLION. THAT $8 MILLION IS STILL SITTING THERE IN RESERVE FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE SPECIFICALLY IN THAT 12.6 MILLION. OUR TOTAL INCENTIVES THIS LAST YEAR, UH, $855,000 WENT OUT FOR, UH, EITHER PERFORMANCE AGREEMENTS OR REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENTS 571,000 REPRESENTED FINAL OR ONE TIME PAYMENTS. UH, 29,000, THERE WAS THE FINAL SALES TAX PROGRAM PAYMENT THAT WE REIMBURSE FOR CLARK STREET FOR THE WOODBRIDGE, UH, CENTER, THE KROGER ANCHORED SHOPPING CENTER.

AND OUR TOTAL MARKET VALUATIONS. UH S A HAD TRACKED THIS FOR YEARS, AND I INHERITED THAT SPREADSHEET TO KEEP IT GOING. SO I. I WOULD LIKE TO CALL OUT PAGE THREE AND GO THROUGH SOME OF THE VALUATIONS WE'VE TRACKED FOR YEARS, BUT OUR ONGOING PERFORMANCE INDICATOR WE'VE WE'VE TRACKED THE COMMERCIAL VALUES AS A PERCENTAGE OF THE TOTAL ASSESSED VALUATION IN 2023 COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES WERE VALUED AT $1 BILLION, OR 12.9% OF THE TOTAL 9.2 BILLION MARKET VALUE. THAT'S THE FIRST TIME EVER WE'VE HAD A BILLION DOLLAR. 
          EVALUATION FOR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL UM OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS, COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL VALUES HAVE INCREASED BY 287 MILLION OR 37.23% AND OVER THE SAME PERIOD, OUR TOTAL VALUATIONS HAVE INCREASED BY 3.9 BILLION OR 75% INCREASE. OUR HIGH IMPACT INITIATIVES. UH, A COUPLE OF THEM ON HERE FOR YOU. WOODBRIDGE CROSSING. THAT'S A LONG TERM INCENTIVE. THE MAYOR ACTUALLY REFERENCED TODAY DURING THE STATE OF THE CITY. UH, WE WE'VE HAD THAT PROJECT ON OUR RADAR FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. WE USE RETAIL COACH TO PUT TOGETHER THE PACKET THAT WE WENT OUT TO GO. UM CONNECT WITH DIRECT DEVELOPMENT AND BRING THAT PROJECT TO THE COMMUNITY. UM $89 MILLION IN TAXABLE VALUE THAT IS 601,000 SQUARE FEET AND IT GENERATES $2.2 MILLION PER YEAR. 
          OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS, PROJECTS ABOUT $22 MILLION FOR THE CITY. THAT'S $88 MILLION IN SALES AND 1.76 IN SALES TAX TO THE CITY. UM AVALOR. I'M A BUSINESS PERSONAL PROPERTY B 484, BUT THE KRUGER ANCHORED CENTER $50 MILLION. WE WRAPPED UP FINAL INCENTIVE PAYMENT AND SALES TAX REIMBURSEMENT ON THAT PROJECT LAST YEAR. UH, YOU SEE THERE THAT IS JUST UNDER 200,000 SQUARE FEET $743,000 IN TOTAL TAXES PAID TO THE CITY ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. BOTH OF THESE PROJECTS TO GO BACK AND PUT IN PERSPECTIVE. THE WOODBRIDGE CROSSING OR TARGET ACREAGE SITTER WAS A $6 MILLION INCENTIVE GENERATING OVER $2 MILLION ANNUALLY FOR THE CITY, AND WE DID A $1.1 MILLION INCENTIVE FOR THE KROGER CENTER WOODBRIDGE CENTER, AND IT GENERATES THE 743,000 ANNUALLY. 544 GATEWAY AND THE BROWN 78 REDEVELOPMENTS.

NOTED, WE HAVE MULTIPLE PROPERTIES IN A CONTRACT ON THOSE WE ARE WRAPPING UP OUR ENGINEERING RIGHT NOW. INFRASTRUCTURE WILL BE INSTALLED IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. BOTH OF THOSE PROJECTS WILL GET GOING VERY SOON AND HOPE. HOPEFULLY YOU SEE A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION THERE A COUPLE MORE NOTABLE ITEMS IN HERE. I WON'T GO THROUGH ALL THE REST OF THE PROJECTS LISTED HERE, BUT WHEN WE GET TO EVEN LIKE AN ANNUAL REPORT. I LIKE THE STATE OF THE CITY. IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE ALL THE ACTIVITY RIGHT, SO THERE'S A LOT OF THAT'S DUE TO THE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM. WITHOUT THEM. WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO THE PROJECTS WE DO, AND WE'RE JUST A SMALL PART OF THAT OVERALL EFFORT. UM THESE PROJECTS THEN IN SOME OF THE MORE NOTABLE ITEMS THAT WE CALL OUT ARE BECAUSE THEY'RE FINANCIALLY TIED TO US, WHEREAS WE HELP WITH A LOT OF THOSE OTHER COMPANIES. WE HELP PUT IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE. WE MIGHT NOT HAVE INCENTIVIZED EVERY INDIVIDUAL ENTITY THAT CAME INTO THE TARGET CENTER. WE PUT IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO HELP THAT DEVELOPMENT, BUILD IT AND ALLOW THEM TO COME INTO THE COMMUNITY. 
          SAME THING WITH KROGER. SAME THING WITH SOME OF THESE OTHERS. UH FIRST ONE ON HERE FOR US ON PAGE SIX OF OUR ANNUAL REPORT. FUEL CITY. IT LOOKS LIKE A LARGER INCENTIVE AGREEMENT THAT WE DID FOR FUEL CITY WASN'T JUST FUEL CITY. IT WAS INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THAT ENTIRE 15 ACRES AS SOME OF YOU WILL RECALL. THERE WAS A LOT OF DEVELOPMENTS WITH RESIDENTIAL AND APARTMENTS AND A LOT OF OTHER USES. THAT REALLY WEREN'T OPTIMIZING THAT SITE AND REALLY THE OPPORTUNITY TO UNLOCK THAT 15 ACRES AND GENERATE THAT MUCH COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY. IT WAS A IT WAS A GREAT PROJECT. UH, FUEL CITY OPENED THIS LAST YEAR. AMERICAN ENTITLEMENTS DID THEIR SECOND EXPANSION. AND COMPLETED THEIR 1300 SQUARE FOOT DOWNTOWN.

BUT THAT WAS AN OLD AUTOMOTIVE BUILDING ON BIRMINGHAM. UH THEY WERE PARKING CARS ALL OVER THE PLACE. AND I THINK OUR BOARD AND COUNCIL THOUGHT THAT WE SHOULD BUY THAT AND REDEVELOP IT. OR TRY YEARS DOWN THE ROAD. UM, I THINK OUR BOARD ACTUALLY THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE A DEMOLITION JOB THAT NO ONE WAS EVER GOING TO BUY IT AND WE WERE WORKING WITH GLEN ECO AND GOT THEM TO RETROFIT THAT BUILDING. WE SOLD IT IN. HELPED OFFSET THE COST FOR THEM TO OPEN THE NEW BREWERY. UH, DANK DEAN POPCORN AGAIN, UH, EQUIPMENT EXPANSIONS LAST YEAR, THEY'VE EXPANDED MULTIPLE TIMES FROM 5000 SQUARE FEET TO 30,000 SQUARE FEET NOW, ADDING UH, AUTOMATED, BAGGING LINES. JOLT PRINTING WAS FACED WITH CLOSURE. UH THEIR BUILDING SOLD AND THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE TO MOVE. WE INCENTIVIZE THEM TO STAY IN THE COMMUNITY AND ABLE TO RETAIN THAT COMPANY AND, UH, MOVE THEM DOWN THE ROAD FIREWATER INVESTMENTS, WHICH IS HERMAN MARSHALL, UH, WE HELP WITH THE RELOCATION OF THAT BUSINESS FROM GARLAND. UH, BONUS PROJECT FOR THAT IS THEY HAVE A TASTING ROOM DOWNTOWN, AS WELL AS ALSO MOVING THEIR DISTILLERY TO THE COMMUNITY. SAND IN INTERNATIONAL WAS A $40 MILLION GLOBAL INVESTMENT. UH, 25 MILLION OF WHICH WAS REQUIRED FOR OUR PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT, AND THEY EXCEEDED $31 MILLION AND RETAINED THE 240 EMPLOYEES ON SITE HERE IN WILEY.

YOU'RE TALKING TO KRAMER IN 78 JUST PASSED DOLLAR TREE. THERE'S SOME DEL LANES THAT NEED TO BE INSTALLED SOME IMPROVEMENTS AND MEDIANS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED IN A LOT OF OUR PROJECTS ARE LIKE LEVITT'S, WHERE WE CAN KNOCK SOMETHING OUT OF THE C IP PLAN FOR THE CITY THAT WE CAN USE SALES TAX AND INCENTIVIZE THESE THROUGH A WORKING WITH DEVELOPERS OR COMMERCIAL OF DEVELOPERS, INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPERS. WE WOULD LIKE TO TRY AND OFFSET THAT COST FOR THE CITY. UM ONGOING PROJECTS WITH TECH STOP THEN ALSO EXPANDING OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS. UM PROMOTING BUSINESS RETENTION EXPANSION WORKFORCE PROGRAMS. UM OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE CHAMBER OF THE CITY AND ALL OF OUR OTHER PARTNERS ARE ARE INTEGRAL TO OUR SUCCESS AND AGAIN, IT IT GOES A LONG WAY TO THE CITY PARTICIPATES IN ALL THOSE AS WELL. I MEAN, LIKE WE HAVE HIRING NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY NOT ONLY FOR OUR BUSINESSES BUT ALSO FOR THE FOR THE CITY. HR HAS BEEN VERY ACTIVE WITH ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT, UH, CAREER EXPLORATION DAYS.

ANY QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING? BUT GOOD EVENING COUNSEL. SO I JUST I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS EXHAUSTIVE LIST BECAUSE YOU'VE ALREADY DONE THAT, UM, AT LEAST SOME OF Y'ALL MAYBE EVEN THREE TIMES TODAY. UM BUT I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT BEFORE I KIND OF GO INTO TALKING ABOUT OUR BOARD. SPECIFICALLY UM, JUST HOW PROUD OUR BOARD IS OF THE PROGRESS THAT WE'VE MADE THIS LAST YEAR, PARTICULARLY WITH SOME OF THESE PROJECTS. I KNOW NOT ALL OF THEM WERE BORN IN 2023. BUT THEY'VE HAD A LOT OF, UM, PROGRESS. I KNOW ALL OF YOU GUYS KNOW THAT. SOMEWHERE BETWEEN A CONCEPT PLAN CONCRETE AND A RIBBON CUTTING IS QUITE A TIMELINE. AND EVEN BETWEEN THOSE THREE, THE TIMELINE IS MUCH HEAVIER WEIGHTED ON THE FRONT END. UM THERE'S A LOT THAT GOES INTO THAT BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS. ARGUMENTS UM, AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN. BEFORE WE GET TO THE CLOSE TO CONCRETE, IF NOT RIGHT BEFORE THAT PHASE, AND WE'RE WE'RE THERE ON SO MANY OF THESE PROJECTS AND JUST SO MUCH HAS GONE ON IN THE BACKGROUND THAT ISN'T ALL THAT VISIBLE SOMETIMES, BUT IT IT IS TRULY GOING ON. UM FROM OUR BOARD PERSPECTIVE. AS YOU ALL MAY KNOW, WE'VE HAD QUITE A BIT OF MOVEMENT. RELATIVELY SPEAKING AND ALSO HERE LATELY, UM, THAT'S CAUSED A LITTLE BIT OF GROWING PAINS, UH, WHICH WAS PART OF THE REASON THAT WE DECIDED TO GO THE ROUTE WITH THE NEW BYLAW CHANGE AND THE HANDBOOK. WE KNOW THAT THIS BOARD HAS QUITE A BIT OF A LEARNING CURVE. AND THAT THE WHOLE POINT OF THAT HANDBOOK WAS TO KIND OF DO WHAT WE CAN TO SHORTEN THAT. UM, FOR NEW MEMBERS, BECAUSE WE SAW THAT WE FORECASTED THAT BEING SOMETHING THAT WAS GONNA BE A CHALLENGE FOR US. SO UH, WE DID RECENTLY APPROVE THE HANDBOOK. SO UH, THAT'S SOMETHING WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO HELP ASSIST YOU ALL WITH THE INTERVIEW PANEL GOING FORWARD. UM THIS YEAR AND FOREVER. UM HOPEFULLY AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK WOULD WOULD REALLY AGAIN SHORTEN THAT LEARNING CURVE SO THAT WE CAN GET BACK TO, UM OR ON BOARDING EVERYBODY, AND WE CAN JUST START MOVING AS A WELL OILED MACHINE. 
          UM I DON'T WANNA OVERLAY TALK TODAY MORE ABOUT, UM, JUST SOME OF OUR BOARD NEEDS BECAUSE I CAN SPEAK TO YOU ALL ABOUT THAT AT AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE, BUT, UM, THERE WILL BE A NEED AT SOME POINT FOR US TO REALLY ALLOW YOU ALL TO LOOK THROUGH THAT AND REALLY WORK WITH US TO GET SOME BOARD MEMBERS. WE DO NEED SOME STABILITY, UM, BEGGING FOR IT. UM, THAT THAT I THINK WILL WILL HELP KIND OF LINE US UP WITH THESE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF INTERPERSONAL CHANGES REALLY INTERFERING WITH SOME OF THE DECISION MAKING ANY QUESTIONS? IT DOESN'T APPEAR SO ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL MAYOR PRO TEMP NOW I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION, BUT I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS. FIRST OF ALL THE EXPANSION AND PROMOTION OF THE BR AND WORKFORCE PROGRAMS. JASON OVER THE LAST EIGHT YEARS. THIS PROJECT OF BR AND WORKFORCE PROGRAMS, UH, HAS BEEN PROBABLY ONE OF THE PRIMARY EFFORTS WITHIN THE E DC TO HELP PUSH THE SMALL BUSINESSES WITHIN WILEY AS WELL AS TO HELP DEVELOP AND RETAIN LOCAL TALENT. SO IN OTHER WORDS, WE'RE OFFERING SOME INTERNSHIPS WITH THESE COMPANIES TO OUR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND TO THE TO THE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS THAT ARE ATTENDING COL. COLLEGE. SO I JUST WANT TO APPLAUD YOU ON THE ON THE JOB THAT, UH, YOURSELF AND ANGEL HAVE DONE TO FORMULATE THE RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS A PATH FOR LOCAL TALENT TO 
          [02:05:03]
REMAIN IN WILEY AND TO COME THROUGH THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. AND I THINK THE MAYOR POINTED OUT TODAY THAT WE HAVE A YOUNG LADY WHO GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND IS NOW WAS THE FIRST HIRE FOR OUR EMT PROGRAM THAT WE JUST UNDERTOOK THIS YEAR, SO I THINK THAT WE'RE BEGINNING TO SEE THE FRUITS OF THOSE LABORS. AND I'M GREATLY APPRECIATIVE OF THAT, UH, AND I THINK THAT, UH, THE SMALL BUSINESSES IN WILEY ARE GAINING MORE. UH, VISIBILITY. AND I THINK THAT THE MANUFACTURING DAY IS AN EYE OPENER, AND I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT MORE, UH, ADVERTISEMENT AND MORE. UM COMMUNICATIONS GO OUT TO THE CITIZENS WHEN THOSE BUSINESSES ARE OPEN SO THAT MORE PEOPLE IN WHILE THEY COULD GO ON TOUR THESE BUSINESSES BECAUSE THEY ARE OFF THE BEATEN PATH, SOME OF THEM AND WE TAKE FOR GRANTED THE FACT THAT OUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS ARE REALLY MAKING AND CREATING SOME COOL STUFF. UH, SO AGAIN, I APPLAUD YOU AND I THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PRESENTATION THIS EVENING. OK? I THANK YOU BOTH FOR COMING THIS EVENING, JASON FOR WALKING US THROUGH, UH, THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR. I KNOW YOU GUYS. OBVIOUSLY WITH MY SERVICES AND EX OFFICIO MEMBER I KNOW THE AMOUNT OF PROJECTS THAT YOU GUYS ARE LOOKING AT AND WORKING ON AND I KNOW YOU HIT THE HIGH POINTS. UM MS WHITEHEAD. THANK YOU FOR COMING AS WELL THIS EVENING. IN SPEAKING WITH THAT BEING SAID, I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR YOU THIS EVENING. UH SO I WOULD BE OPEN TO A MOTION ON THIS ITEM.

A SECOND MOTION WITH THE SECOND TO APPROVE THE ITEM IS PRESENTED. COUNSEL. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. THE MOTION CARRIES 60. WITH THAT THAT COMPLETES OUR REGULAR AGENDA FOR THIS EVENING. UH, BEFORE WE START THE WORK SESSION, I AM GOING TO BUT THAT I'LL CALL US BACK INTO SESSION. WE'RE IN OUR WORK SESSIONS FOR THIS EVENING WORK 
          [WS1. Discussion regarding Public Works Department overview and Five-Year Plan.]
SESSION. ONE IS A DISCUSSION REGARDING PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT AND OVERVIEW AND FIVE YEAR PLAN. MR WEIR TAKE IT AWAY. UH, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. UM, REAL QUICK. WE JUST WANT TO GO OVER OUR OUR PUBLIC WORKS WHERE WE'RE AT WHERE WE WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO GO IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. UM AS YOU SEE, PUBLIC WORKS IS PRETTY MUCH IT'S MADE UP INTO FOUR DIVISIONS. UM ADMINISTRATION, OUR STREETS, OUR FLEET AND OUR UTILITIES DIVISION . UM, AND WITHIN THAT RIGHT NOW WE HAVE WE HAVE 5553 FULL TIME EMPLOYEES. UM STREETS AND UTILITIES CAN BE BROKEN DOWN A LITTLE BIT FURTHER. UM ONLY BECAUSE IT SO MUCH DIVERSE STUFF THAT THEY DO, UM, SO WE STREETS WERE BREAKING DOWN INTO STREET MAINTENANCE, A STORMWATER SIDE AND, UH, TRAFFIC DIVISION AND THEN ON UTILITIES. WE HAVE WATER DISTRIBUTION, WATER QUALITY, AND I WASTE WATER. SO REAL QUICK, UM, ADMINISTRATION WE'RE TAKING IN CALLS, DISPATCH THEM OUT TO THE TO THE DIFFERENT CREWS EVERY DAY. UM KIND OF LOOKING AT LONG TERM FOR OUR DEPARTMENT. UH, ARE WE'RE HELPING REGISTER. SEE ALL THE CITY VEHICLES. UM, WE MAINTAIN WE MAINTAIN EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR EXCEPT FOR FIRE RIGHT NOW, UM BUT WE HOPE IN THE FUTURE THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE AND MAYBE. I DON'T KNOW. WE'LL SEE. AND WE AND ADMINISTRATION. WE HELP ANY DEPARTMENT THAT NEEDS HELP. UM SO JUST REAL QUICK. JUST TO GIVE YOU A QUICK RUNDOWN. UH WE LOOKED AT 2022 AND 2023. WITH THE AMOUNT OF CALLS THAT OUR ADMIN TAKES IN THAT ACTUALLY NEEDED A RESPONSE BACK, SO, AS YOU SEE PRETTY MUCH WE'RE WE'RE HOVERING RIGHT AROUND 1700 CALLS A YEAR THAT NEEDED SOME SORT OF A OF A RESPONSE BACK TO A CITIZEN. UM SO EACH CALL. WE KIND OF LOOKED AT THAT A LITTLE BIT FURTHER. IT TAKES ABOUT 30 MINUTES PER CALL TO TAKE IT TO FIND THE INFORMATION YOU NEED TO GO AND THEN TO GET BACK TO THAT TO THAT CITIZEN. UM, SO ROUGHLY IT'S 850 HOURS A YEAR THAT THAT SHE'S SPENDING JUST ON THE PHONE. TALKING TO RESIDENTS. UM AND THEN REGISTRATIONS. LIKE I SAID, WE PROCESS ALL THE REGISTRATIONS FOR EVERY EVERY CITY VEHICLE. UM AND 2022 2023. AS YOU SEE, WE? SHE SETS THEM UP TO TRY TO GET THEM IN TO GO GET OUR OUR INSPECTIONS. SHE WORKS WITH COLIN COLIN COUNTY TO GO AND GET NEW VEHICLES REGISTERED AND DELIVERED BACK TO CERTAIN DEPARTMENTS. UM SO TALK ABOUT THE FIVE YEAR PLAN WITH PUBLIC WORKS, UM OUR BUILDING. IT WAS GREAT WHEN IT IT WAS. IT IS GREAT. IT FANTASTIC. UM BUT I THINK WHEN IT WAS BUILT, IT 
          [02:10:08]
WASN'T REALLY BUILT FOR THE FUTURE. WE BUILT IT FOR WHAT WE NEEDED AT THAT TIME. UM, AS YOU CAN SEE. WE HAVE JUST FOR STAFF. WE HAVE 52 PARKING SPOTS, BUT WE HAVE 53 EMPLOYEES, SO THAT MEANS THAT WE HAVE WE HAVE NO ROOM FOR A SOMEBODY WANTS TO COME IN. WE HOLD REGULARLY HAVE MEETINGS IN OUR CONFERENCE ROOM. WE DON'T HAVE THE SPACE FOR EVEN TO HAVE TO PARK PEOPLE. UM, SAME THING WITH PARKS THERE YOU THEY HAVE 18 PARKING SPOTS FOR THEIR 20 EMPLOYEES. UM PARKS IS UTILIZING THE SIDE OF THEIR BUILDING BEHIND THE GATE TO HOUSE SOME OF THE STAFF PARKING. BUT THEN THAT TAKES UP WHERE WE PARK AND CITY VEHICLES AT NIGHT. OR DURING THE DAY. UM AND ALSO UM, WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE HAVE ROUGHLY $2 MILLION WORTH OF EQUIPMENT THAT WE LEAVE OUTSIDE. UNCOVERED. DAY IN AND DAY OUT BECAUSE WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE SPACE AND I'M YOU KNOW, I'M NOT SAYING THAT WE WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FOR A BUILDING BIG ENOUGH TO PUT ALL OF OUR EQUIPMENT INTO. BUT SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO LOOK INTO IS LIKE MAYBE AN OVERHANG SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN JUST GET OUT OF THE ELEMENTS A LITTLE BIT. GOING FORWARD. ALSO INSIDE, UM FLEET OPERATES. WE HAVE WE TRY TO PUT AS MANY VEHICLES INSIDE AS WE CAN TO KEEP THEM OUT OF THE ELEMENTS. AGAIN. WE PROBABLY WE PARK ANOTHER 2 MILLION ROUGHLY $2 MILLION WORTH OF EQUIPMENT INSIDE. UM BUT AND I OUR FLEET IS REALLY LIMITED. WE'RE HAVING STAFF HAS TO WALK THROUGH FLEET TO GET TO THEIR TO THEIR BASE DURING THE DAY TO GET THE, UH, GOING FOR THEIR MORNING ROUTINE. UM AND ALSO WE'RE SEEING THAT WE'RE HAVING OUR STORAGE ISSUES. UM, COMING OUT OF COVID. WE'VE HAD SEEN DELAYS ON GETTING PARTS THAT WE NEED FOR OUR WATER AND WASTEWATER CREWS. UM SO WE'RE TRYING TO PUT AN ORDER IN, BUT WE MIGHT NOT GET THAT ORDER FOR 9 TO 12 MONTHS, SO WE NEED AND WE HAVE A LIMITED SPACE RIGHT NOW TO GO AND HOUSE EVERYTHING. ALSO INSIDE OUR IN OUR OFFICE AREA. 
          UM OUR LOCKER AREA. IT'S LIMITED 40 LOCKERS FOR 50. FOR CURRENTLY WE HAVE 51 EMPLOYEES THAT WE HAVE ON THE BOOKS RIGHT NOW. BUT, UM IF WE HAVE. IF WE WERE FULLY STAFFED, WE WOULD HAVE 53 EMPLOYEES. UM THERE'S OUR LOCKER ROOM. THERE'S NO NO DOORS FOR THE GUYS FOR ANY PRIVACY AS YOU WALK AS YOU WALK FROM THE BAYS OUTSIDE, YOU WALK RIGHT IN. YOU WALK RIGHT PAST THE LOCKER AREA. 
          UM AND ALSO THERE'S NO WOMEN'S AREA. FOR OUR LOCKER AREA. UM SO THE LIMITED THERE. ALSO IN THE AS THE OFFICE AND ALL THE OFFICES. UM, ALL THE SUPERVISORS EVERY MORNING THEY HAVE THEY HAVE THEIR CREW MEETINGS. EACH DEPARTMENT HAS ANYWHERE FROM 6 TO 12 EMPLOYEES. UM OFFICE SPACE IS VERY LIMITED TO TRY TO GET ALL THAT STUFF IN THERE AND GO OVER THEIR PLANS FOR THE DAY. UM AND IF WE TRY TO THERE'S NO NO ROOM FOR ANY FUTURE GROWTH THERE. SO KIND OF WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT, UM, ON THAT PICTURE ON THE LEFT. UM, PARKS DID A UH, KIND OF A SITE PLAN BACK IN 2018 2019 FOR FUTURE GROWTH. UM BUT IT DIDN'T REALLY UTILIZE ANY ANY SPACE THAT'S ON THE WEST LOT. 
          UM, SO GOING FORWARD, WE HAD REALLY LIKE TO LOOK AT A CONCEPT PLAN OF TRYING TO UTILIZE THE SPACE THAT'S BEHIND PARKS AND ALSO THAT SPACE TO THE WEST AND THE WEST LOT TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE THERE. UM, WHETHER IT BE PARKING UM, ANOTHER ANOTHER GATED AREA WHERE WE CAN PUT SOME OF OUR CITY VEHICLES. UM ADDITIONAL BUILDING. WHATEVER NEEDS TO BE DONE. WE UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU KNOW. JUST BECAUSE IF WE PLAN IT, WE CAN'T BUILD IT RIGHT AWAY. BUT WE JUST WANT TO GET READY FOR THE FUTURE. SO AND WITH THAT ALSO BEING SAID, UM, IN OUR ADMINISTRATION FOR PERSONNEL NEEDS, UM WE WOULD LIKE TO TRY TO HIRE A TRAINING COORDINATOR. UM AS YOU SEE, WE'VE WE HAVE A LOT OF EMPLOYEES THAT COME AND GO. UM THAT FY 24. IT SAYS FIVE. WE CAN ACTUALLY UP THAT RIGHT NOW TO SEVEN BECAUSE SINCE WE'VE MADE THIS PRESENTATION, WE'VE HAD TWO MORE VACANCIES. UM ALL THESE EMPLOYEES ARE REQUIRED TO GET A CD LICENSE. SO AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, RIGHT NOW, AS OF RIGHT NOW, I HAVE 12 EMPLOYEES THAT DO NOT HAVE A CD L LICENSE. SO FOR US TO GO THROUGH A TRAINING PROVIDER TO GET THEM THEIR LICENSE. IT'S ROUGHLY $5000 PER EMPLOYEE. WHERE AND THEY'RE NOT, AND THEN THEY WOULDN'T EVEN BE USING OUR VEHICLES, SO WE'RE USING SOMEBODY ELSE'S VEHICLES. THEY THEY ARE SEMI TRUCKS. WE DON'T DRIVE SEMI TRUCKS. WE 
          [02:15:02]
DRIVE DUMP TRUCKS, AND SO THEY'RE NOT EVEN PRACTICING ON EQUIPMENT THAT THEY'RE GONNA BE USING DAY IN AND DAY OUT. UM, SO OUR OUR GOAL WOULD BE TO HAVE SOMEBODY IN CITY STAFF. 
          DEDICATED TO TRAINING THESE EMPLOYEES AS THEY COME ON BOARD. TO GO THROUGH OUR OUR POLICIES. 
          OUR PRACTICES. UM WORK WITH THEM EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. TO GO AND GET THEIR CD LICENSE AND THEN ALSO WORK WITH THEM TO GO GET AND ALL THE OTHER TRAINING THAT WE HAVE, UM WATER AND WASTEWATER GOT CREWS. THEY THEY NEED LICENSES THROUGH TCQ. IT'S A LOT OF TRAINING. IT'S A LOT OF STUDYING, UM, AGAIN THAT, UH, OUR TRAINING COORDINATOR WOULD BE GREAT BECAUSE WE COULD HAVE WORK. WHERE THAT TRAINING PERSON. UM, AS WE MOVE FORWARD IN THE FLEET. SO OUR FLEET COORDINATOR AND SPORT STAFF MAINTAIN EVERY ALL CITY OWNED VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT. UM IT'S EVERYTHING THAT CITY OWNS, EXCLUDING FIRE CURRENTLY. SO WE 100 AND 42 VEHICLES, 20 PIECES OF EQUIPMENT AND 15 TRAILS. SO. I WAS JUST GONNA ASK WHEN YOU SAY EXCLUDING FIRE IS THAT THE APPARATUS OR DOES THAT INCLUDE THE BATTALION VEHICLES? AND SO WE DON'T DO ANYTHING THAT ANYTHING THAT HAS FIRE ON IT? BATTALION VEHICLES? UH, APPARATUS. I EVERYTHING I DON'T YES, I DON'T KNOW ALL THE INS AND OUTS. BUT I BELIEVE TO WORK ON FIRE APPARATUS. YOU NEED A SPECIAL CERTIFICATION. I. I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS DID SOME OF THE ITALIAN TRUCKS OR IF THOSE FALL UNDER THAT AS WELL. NO. SO UM SO IN 2023. WE KIND OF LOOKED AT WHERE WE COULD BE MORE EFFICIENT. UM ONE THING THAT WE FOUND IS THAT IF WE START TO BRING SOME OF THESE SERVICES IN HOUSE THAT WE WOULD EVER BE ABLE TO SAVE MONEY SO MHM. NO. UM, I KNOW THERE WAS A QUESTION ALSO ABOUT HOW WE DETERMINE WHEN WE REPLACE VEHICLES. UM SO JUST BECAUSE JUST A BREAKDOWN, SO THEY GET A POINT FOR EVERY EVERY EVERY YEAR OLDER THAT THE VEHICLE IS, UM, EVERY 20,000 MILES. WE'RE GIVING THEM A POINT. EVERY 750 HOURS THAT A VEHICLE HAS ON IT. IT GETS ANOTHER POINT. UM AND THEN WE START LOOKING AT REPAIR COSTS. SO AS YEARS. GO ON. REPAIR CARS GO UP. EVERY 10,000 EVERY $10,000 THAT WE THAT THE CITY SPENDS WE GIVE IT A POINT. THEN IN EVERY EVERY DECEMBER WE LOOK AT ALL THE ALL THE VEHICLES AND WE GIVE IT AN OVERALL CONDITION POINTS. ONE BEING THE BEST. FIVE BEING. OK? NOT GREAT. IT'S WHAT WE LOOK AT. HOW THE INTERIORS DO ALL THE WINDOWS GO UP AND DOWN IS, UH, PAINT CHIPPING OFF THE BODY. IS IT HALF DENSE IS WE TAKE ALL THOSE FACTORS AND PUT IT ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 5? AND JUST TRY TO AND THEN, UH, ALSO, IT'S RELIABILITY. SO UM, AS VEHICLES COME INTO COME INTO OUR FLEET. EVERY FIVE SERVICE REQUESTS. I GET UM, FILLED OUT. WE GIVE IT A POINT. SO WE ARE PRETTY MUCH AVERAGING. 10 TO 12 YEARS RIGHT NOW THAT WE'RE THAT WE'RE KEEPING A VEHICLE. TOMMY. I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE ON THE RELIABILITY FACTOR. IT'S JUST ONE POINT FOR EVERY FIVE SERVICE REQUESTS. SERVICE REQUESTS WOULD BE OUTSIDE OF STANDARD MAINTENANCE. CORRECT. YES, YES, IT'S A IT'S ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF AN OIL CHANGE OR A TIRE ROTATION. SO, UM, JUST LOOKING AT OUR KIND OF A FIVE YEAR PLAN OF WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE. UM AS THE FLEET GROWS. PD IS LOOKING TO ADD MORE VEHICLES. WE ARE GONNA BE LOOKING TO ADD MORE VEHICLES. UM WE WOULD LIKE TO ADD TWO FLEET TECHNICIANS, ONE IN FY 25 AND ONE IN FY 28. UM AND THEN SOME EQUIPMENT FY 25 ANOTHER ANOTHER LIFT FOR THE GUYS TO WORK ON OR WORK WITH, UM WE ALSO PUT ALL THE GRAPHICS ON THE TRUCKS. UH MINUS PDPD GOES AND GETS ALL GRAPHICS DONE AT A AT A SHOP, BUT EVERYTHING THAT SAYS CITY OF WILEY ON IT. UH, WE DO IN HOUSE. UM SO WE'RE LOOKING TO UPGRADE THAT PRINTER BECAUSE WE CAN'T DO ANY MORE UPDATES ON IT. UM SO IT'S KIND OF REACHED ITS END OF REACHING END OF LIFE AS FAR AS TRYING TO MAKE ANY ALTERATIONS. OK, SO AND ALSO, UM, ONE OF OUR WE USE A LOADER OF RUBBER TIRE LOADER AROUND THE SHOP. UM WE ARE LOOKING TO REPLACE THAT BECAUSE IT'S MET ITS POINT SYSTEM. UM, THIS YEAR ALONE, WE PUT SO FAR THIS YEAR WE'VE PUT WE'VE PUT $10,000 INTO THAT MACHINE. AND UM, WE'RE HAVING AN ISSUE WITH RODENTS GETTING IN THERE AND EATING WIRE HARNESSES. AND THAT'S ONE OF THOSE PIECES OF EQUIPMENT THAT SITS OUTSIDE. SO JUST REAL QUICK, UM 2023 IN REVIEW. SO WE 
          [02:20:02]
LOOKED AT WHAT WE WERE DOING WITH WITH OUR VENDORS VERSUS WHAT WE CAN DO IN HOUSE. SO FOR OIL CHANGES WE'RE LOOKING TO. WE'RE LOOKING TO SAVE A LITTLE OVER $24,000. UM TIRE REPLACEMENTS. SO PAST PRACTICE WAS WE BOUGHT THE TIRES. WE BROUGHT THE TIRES TO THE VENDOR. 
          WE PAID THE VENDOR TO PUT THE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE. SO WE'RE ALREADY HOUSING THE TIRES, SO WE BROUGHT THAT IN HOUSE, SO IT'S $5500 TO THAT WE WILL SAVE UM TIRE REPAIRS. YOU KNOW, A $1000 ONE THING WE'VE NOTICED THIS YEAR THAT WE THAT WE'RE NOT CURRENTLY DOING THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE TOWARDS IS BEING ABLE TO DO BREAKS ON VEHICLES, UH, BRAKES AND ROTORS. UM RIGHT NOW. WE BUY THE BRAKES. WE AGAIN WE BRING THE BRAKES TO THE VENDOR. THEY'RE ALL WE'RE DOING IS PAYING THE VENDOR TO PUT THE BRAKES ON THE VEHICLE. SO WE WOULD END UP SAVING BETWEEN FRONT FRONT AND REAR BRAKES ON VEHICLES. WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT SAVING A LITTLE OVER $18,000. IF WE BRING THAT IN HOUSE SO WE'RE LOOKING AT JUST BY DOING THESE. THESE SMALL CHANGES. ALMOST $50,000 OF SAVINGS. UM AND I THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE STAFF. BUT LIKE, UM RECENTLY. WE HAD TO BRING A TRUCK IN. WE HAD TO. WE HAD TO PUT A NEW RADIATOR IN IT. UM WE KIND OF LOOKED AT WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE US FOR US. WHAT? WE COULD DO IT IN HOUSE. UM THE PRICE OF THE PARTS WERE PRETTY CLOSE. IT WAS THE LABOR THEY WERE GONNA CHARGE. THEY'RE CHARGING US $1000 IN LABOR TO PUT A RADIATOR IN THE VEHICLE. AND IT'S A 4 TO 5 HOUR JOB. SO THAT'S A VERY SIMPLE REPAIR THAT WE COULD HAVE DONE IN IN HOUSE. UM SO IF WE START LOOKING AT SOME OF THOSE REPAIRS, I THINK IF WE HAD THE STAFF WE WOULD BE IN ENDING WE WOULD END UP SAVING MONEY. SO AS WE MOVE INTO OUR OUR STREET, OUR STREET SIDE SO STREETS IS MADE UP OF STREET MAINTENANCE, STORMWATER AND OUR TRAFFIC DIVISIONS. UM AND THOSE GUYS THEY MAKE UP, THEY MAINTAIN IT. STREET ALLEYS, STREETS AND ALLEYS, SIDEWALKS AND SOMETHING THAT'S NEW. THAT MAYBE IS NOT THAT NEW. BUT FOR US, IT WAS NEW IS SCREEN WALLS, SOMETHING THAT WE'VE NEVER REALLY GIVEN ANY THOUGHT IN THE PAST, BUT THE CITY DOES OWN SCREEN WALLS FROM NEIGHBORHOODS. UM OUR STORM WATER. WE MAINTAIN COMPLIANCE IN THE STORM OR DISCHARGE PERMIT. AND WE MAKE. WE'RE MAINTAINING OUR CONVEYANCE SYSTEM THROUGH THE CITY AND THEN OUR TRAFFIC DIVISION. THEY EVERY TRAFFIC LIGHT EVERY STREET SIGN, UH, PAVEMENT MARKINGS. THAT YOU SEE ON THE STREETS. THOSE THOSE GUYS MAINTAIN. UM, JUST A COUPLE REAL QUICK AND HOW OUR STREETS DIVISION HAS GROWN A LITTLE BIT OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. 
          YOU KNOW, WE'RE ADDING, WE'VE INCREASED 54 MILES OF STREETS WE'VE ADDED A MILE OF, UM ALLEYWAY. 20 MILE. WE'VE ADDED 20 MILES OF STORM PIPE. OPEN DRAINAGE, ANOTHER 20 MILES. 
          SIGNALS. WE'RE LOOKING TO ADD ANOTHER. UM WE'RE LOOKING TO ADD FOUR MORE SIGNALS TO OUR SYSTEM BY 2029. AND THEN WITH THE ADDITION OF SCHOOLS THAT ISDS. UM LOOKING TO DO WE? WE ANTICIPATE WE'RE GONNA HAVE ANOTHER 14 SCHOOL ZONE. LIGHTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO MAINTAIN. SO WITH THOSE TAKING IN THAT SEEING THAT INCREASE. I MEAN, ON ON AND WHAT WE ARE MAINTAINING, UM, PERSONNEL WISE. WE'RE LOOKING TO ADD YOU KNOW THESE FEW POSITIONS. UM AND THE STREET MAINTENANCE WILL GET INTO IN A MINUTE. BUT WITH TRAFFIC UM ADDING THE POSITION DUE DUE TO MAINTAINING THE EXTRA SIGNALS. UM AN EXTRA PAYMENT MARKETS THAT ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE PUT DOWN ON THE GROUND. UM, OUR STORM WATER. WE ARE LOOKING TO ADD 33 EMPLOYEES TO THAT THE DIVISION BECAUSE OF JUST THE MAINTENANCE. UM WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO SOME OF THESE REPAIRS IN HOUSE VERSUS HAVING TO GO OUT AND HAVE A CONTRACT TO DO THEM FOR US. WE WE'RE CAPABLE OF DOING IT. WE JUST NEED THE MANPOWER. AND EQUIPMENT. UM, SO REAL QUICK ON THOSE ON THOSE STREET MAINTENANCE CREWS. UM KIND OF, UH, THE SLIDE SHOWS IS WHAT WE'VE DONE IN HOUSE VERSUS WHAT ARE WHAT? WE PAID OUR CONTRACT OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. UM, IF WE DO IT IN HOUSE RIGHT NOW, WE'RE WE PAY $8 A FOOT TO DO SIDEWALKS. WE'RE PAYING OUR OUR CONTRACT OF $53 A FOOT. SO WE KIND OF LOOKED AT WHAT THOSE SALARIES. THOSE SALARIES OF THOSE FOUR EMPLOYEES WOULD BE, PLUS THAT $8 A FOOT THAT WE'RE PAYING. AND WE TOOK THAT LAST NUMBER THAT 8468. AND WE LOOKED AT THAT WE WOULD BE BASED ON TODAY'S SALARIES. WE'RE AT $35 A FOOT. SO WE COULD POTENTIALLY 
          [02:25:06]
HAVE A SAVINGS OF $142,000 A YEAR BY ADDING EMPLOYEES. SO BEFORE YOU JUMP AHEAD SOMETHING I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT FOR ANYONE WHO MAY LISTEN TO IT LATER OR OR MAYBE LISTENING NOW. 
          UM, SIDEWALK REPAIR IS NOT SOMETHING THAT ALL CITIES DO. TECHNICALLY SIDEWALKS FALL UNDER THE PURVIEW OF THE PROPERTY OWNER, BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT THE CITY STAFF AND COUNCIL HAVE AGREED. UH BRINGS VALUE TO OUR COMMUNITY IN IN ENABLING PEOPLE TO GET OUTSIDE AND BE ABLE TO MOVE AROUND THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS. UM AND SO I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT ALL CITIES DO. AND IN MANY CASES, THEY TELL YOU IF YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT IT, THAT IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THOSE SO AND I. I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT GOES INTO ME HELPING TO MAINTAIN THOSE ON BEHALF OF OUR CITIZENS. AND I'M I'M GLAD YOU ACTUALLY SAID THAT BECAUSE I WANT TO SHED SOME LIGHT ON AS OF RIGHT NOW WE HAVE 276. LOCATIONS. OF AREAS OF COMPLAINTS OF FOR SIDEWALKS, SO WE LOOKED AT WHAT IT WOULD COST TO HAVE OUR CONTRACT TO DO IT IF WE REPAIRED ALL THOSE RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT ROUGHLY $1.6 MILLION SO AND THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE. YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SOME AREAS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO ADD SOME SIDEWALKS. UM, SO THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE ANY OF THOSE AREAS. SO IF WE WOULD BRING OUT IN HOUSE, WE COULD SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASE THAT COST. SO UM, A FIVEYEAR PLAN FOR OUR STREET MAINTENANCE. IT. UM, A NEW CON CONCRETE SOFTWARE, GUYS, UM FEW UTILITY TRUCKS. UM SKID LOADER AND TRAILER FOR THE FOR, UM OUR EQUIPMENT TRAILER. WE DO HAVE ONE. IT'S A 2001. WE'VE BEEN LIMPING IT ALONG. TILL NOW, UM AND IT'S REALLY MET. IT'S LIFE EXPECTANCY. UM ONE THING THAT'S NEW. THAT WOULD BE NEW FOR US THAT WE CURRENTLY DON'T DO IS BRING IS TO GO BE ABLE TO PURCHASE A STREET SWEEPER. UM TO GET AROUND THE STREETS. CURRENTLY WE DO HAVE A SERVICE THAT COMES IN, BUT THEY ARE VERY LIMITED TO WHAT THEY ACTUALLY WILL STREET SWEEP. UM THEY DON'T GO IN. THEY WON'T GO INTO THE NEIGHBORHOODS. THEY DON'T GO ANYWHERE ELSE. WE HAVE A LIST OF ABOUT 3030 MILES 30 STREET MILES THAT THEY THAT THEY DO FOR US. UM AND THAT'S IT. WHAT IS THE ANNUAL COST FOR THAT? SO IN GOD FEEL FREE TO ANNUAL COST FOR THAT IS ROUGHLY. WE, UM BECAUSE WE DO IT A FEW TIMES A YEAR. 
          IT'S WE SPENT $25,000 ON 30 MILES. WHEREAS IF WE HAD OUR OWN STREET SWEEPER, WE COULD GET THROUGH THE WHOLE CITY EVERY YEAR. UM AND THEN ALSO AS WE GET AS OUR 0.1 OF OUR DUMP TRUCKS, UM LOOK AND REPLACE THAT WE ACTUALLY WOULD LOOK AT DOWNSIZING THAT RIGHT NOW THAT'S A THAT'S A BIG TRI AXLE DUMP TRUCK. AND WE WOULD LIKE TO DOWNSIZE THAT. WE DON'T HAVE A NEED FOR A TRI AXLE. AS WE GET INTO OUR STORMWATER DIVISION. UM THEY DO HAVE YOU KNOW? LIKE I SAID, WE WANNA START BRINGING SOME OF THESE PROJECTS IN HOUSE. UM, IF WE HAVE THE STAFF WE ARE MORE THAN CAPABLE OF CLEANING OUT ALL THESE ALL THE BAR DITCHES AROUND TOWN. THAT NEED TO GET CLEANED UP. REALLY NEED TO BE. CLEANED OUT, UM, SOME SMALL DRAINAGE PROJECTS WE COULD DO IN HOUSE. UM, WE ALSO LOOK INTO GETTING A UH, CAMERA INSPECTION UNIT. SO WE CAN ACTUALLY FIX PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY BE A LITTLE MORE PROACTIVE VERSUS REACTIVE. UM, WE CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE A CAMERA THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY LOOK IN STORM BEARING PIPE. WE HAVE ONE FOR WASTEWATER, BUT IT'S NOT BIG ENOUGH TO USE FOR A BIG STORM WATER PIPE. ACTUALLY SEE ANY ISSUES WITH IT, SO UM AND THEN YOU KNOW AN EX GRA OR TRAILER. UM A VA TRUCK. SO WHAT HAPPENS IS RIGHT NOW IS IN THE FALL LEAVES AS THE LEAVES FALL, THEY ALL GO INTO THE STORM DRAIN. 
          SOMEHOW UH, IT'S ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, THEY END UP IN THE STORM DRAIN. SO THIS THIS WE HAD A BACK TRUCK. WE'D BE ABLE TO GO AROUND AND ACTUALLY CLEAN OUT. THESE STORM DRAINS GET THE LEAVES OUT BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY CAUSE PROBLEMS DOWNSTREAM. FROM WHERE UM, WHERE THEY'RE AT. AND THEN ALSO AS WE MAINTAIN OUR OUR WATERWAYS GOING GOING THROUGH THE CITY. UM, A CHIPPER. SO THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY TAKE CARE OF ANY BRUSH THAT THE GUYS ENCOUNTER INSTEAD OF RIGHT RIGHT NOW. IT'S IF WE BORROW A CHIPPER FROM PARKS. IF IT'S AVAILABLE, IF NOT , WE GOTTA LOAD THE BRUSH UP. 
          PUT IT IN THE TRAILER. WE BRING IT TO THE DUMP. WE DUMP IT OUT. AND IT'S IT. IF WE HAD A CHIPPER 
          [02:30:06]
FOR THAT DEPARTMENT, IT WOULD JUST SPEED UP THE PROCESS. UM AND LIKE I SAID, WE SOMETHING NEW FOR US IS SCREEN WALLS. WE DIDN'T WE DON'T BUDGET FOR IT. WE CURRENTLY DON'T BUDGET FOR IT IF ANYTHING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. UM THAT $50,000 IS REALLY JUST AN ESTIMATE. UM, WE HAVEN'T REALLY DONE A DEEP DIVE INTO WHAT SCREEN WALLS REALLY NEED TO BE REPLACED, WHICH ONES ARE GOOD? UM, WE JUST KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW WE HAVE WE HAVE ROUGHLY 30,000 FT OF SCREEN WALL. THROUGHOUT THE CITY THAT WE MAINTAIN. UM, AND AS WE MOVE INTO OUR TRAFFIC UM, AGAIN. 
          WE'RE LOOKING TO REPLACE REPLACE A VEHICLE IN 2025 2026. WE'RE GONNA WE'D LIKE TO ADD A NEW VEHICLE. UM 2027 THERMAL STRIPING UNIT. THIS IS ACTUALLY A MACHINE THAT, UM WE WOULD USE IN OUR SCHOOL ZONE. SO THE GUYS, THEY GO OUT AND THEY EVERY YEAR, THEY PAINT THE SCHOOL ZONES. 
          THEY PAINT ALL THE THEY PAINT CROSSWALKS. THE SCHOOL ZONES TURN ARROWS. UM CURRENTLY THAT'S DONE WITH WATER BASED PAINT. SO IT LAST 8 TO 12 MONTHS. UM UH, USING THIS THERMAL STRIPING WE'RE LOOKING AT AN AVERAGE LIFE. IT WOULD BE A LIFESPAN OF THAT MARKING FOR 3 TO 5 YEARS. 
          UM SO WE WOULD SPEED THAT UP. UM, CURRENTLY WE YOU KNOW THE GUYS IT IT TAKES THEM 300 MAN HOURS JUST TO DO SCHOOL ZONES. AND REPAINT THEM EVERY SUMMER. UM SO THIS WOULD DRASTICALLY SPEED UP THE PROCESS? UM, BE ABLE TO LAST A LOT LONGER. UM AND THEN AS WE MOVE INTO OUR OUR SIGNAL OUR SIGNAL DETECTION. UM, TRAFFIC CABIN STANDARDIZATION. UM RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE THREE DIFFERENT, UH, TRAFFIC CABINETS THAT WE HAVE THROUGHOUT OUR CITY. UM THIS IS BECAUSE WE BACK IN 2021. WE TOOK OWNERSHIP OF EVERYTHING FROM TECH START. UM WE WEREN'T ABLE TO GET THEM TO UPGRADE ANYTHING. IT WAS JUST HERE YOU GO. HERE'S HERE'S OUR HERE'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN USING, AND NOW IT'S YOURS. SO WE WOULD LIKE TO GO TOWARDS MOVE TOWARDS OUR OUR TRAFFIC CABIN STANDARDIZATION. THIS WOULD ALSO AS WE STANDARDIZE THESE CABINETS THAT WOULD ALSO, UM UM, WOULD INCLUDE UM COMMUNICATION BETWEEN SIGNALS UM, CURRENTLY WE DON'T HAVE ANY COMMUNICATION. AND WITH THAT WOULD HELP WOULD HELP EVERYBODY, UM, VEHICLES MOVING DOWN THE CORRIDOR. SO IF WE GET 544 A F AND PD COME UP, AND THEY THEY ACTIVATE THE OPTICON. UM IF WE HAD COMMUNICATION, THOSE SIGNAL LIGHTS AFTER THAT, AFTER THOSE UNITS GO THROUGH, THEY MIGHT SHORT CYCLE ONE OR TWO CYCLES, BUT THEY GET THEMSELVES BACK ON TRACK, SO AS YOU CAN TALK AND UNDERSTAND THAT YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TAKES TO GET FROM LIGHT TO LIGHT TO LIGHT AND THEY RESET THEMSELVES. UM WE CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE THAT, UM, ALSO IF YOU LOOK AT THE OPTICON AND RADIO DETECTION WE HAVE FOUR DIFFERENT DETECTION UNITS. THAT WE USE TO TURN TRAFFIC SIGNALS FROM RED TO GREEN. BECAUSE THEY THEY DETECT UM IF THERE'S ANY VEHICLES THAT ARE IN THAT IN THE ZONE THAT THEY SEE SO UM LOT OF THAT EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN OUTDATED. UM, WE'RE TRYING TO WORK WITH, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT BREAKS WE'RE WORKING WITH, UH, WITH THE VENDOR, AND THEY'RE GOING TO THEIR SCRAP PILE AND SAYING, YEAH, WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT WE THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO WORK FOR YOU. UM AND ALSO WITH WITH THE OPTICON. UM, WOULD HELP PP, UH POLICE AND FIRE UM, TO GET THROUGH THE CITY. WE MOVED FROM AN INFRARED OPTICON TO A GPS OPTICON. RIGHT NOW WE'RE USING THE INFRARED. IT'S LINE OF SIGHT . THERE'S A LOT OF MISSED CALLS AS AS THESE VEHICLES ARE GETTING THROUGH THE INTERSECTIONS. UM SO IT IT WOULD BE SAFER FOR THEM. UH, GPS. IF WE GPS IT, IT ACTUALLY GIVES MORE TIME TO ALLOW FOR THE VEHICLES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE THE A FIRE TRUCK OR AN AMBULANCE OR A POLICE CAR COMES UP AND GETS THAT INTERSECTION. SO ALL AROUND IT. IT'S A SAFER OPTION FOR FIRST OUR STAFF. UM AND ALSO MURPHY AND SAXY ARE MOVING TOWARDS THE GPS. AND WE'RE NOT SURE. IF THEY ARE GONNA STILL MAINTAIN THE INFRARED SYSTEM THAT THEY CURRENTLY HAVE. SO IF WE GO TO THOSE CITIES, WE'RE GONNA BE OBSOLETE. UM AND ALSO, UM AS WE MOVE INTO 2025. WE'RE LOOKING AT TRYING TO BE MORE AD A COMPLIANT. AND ONE OF THOSE IS 
          [02:35:01]
THOSE PEDESTRIAN BUTTONS THAT WE THAT WE SEE AT EVERY INTERSECTION. UM A LOT OF THEM RIGHT NOW. THEY'RE THEY'RE ON A SIGNAL MAST. AND THEY'RE OUT OF THE YOU KNOW, TECHNICALLY OUT OF THE WAY. BUT THE PEDESTRIAN BUTTONS NEED TO BE AT CERTAIN HEIGHTS AT CERTAIN SPOTS. THEY NEED TO SPEAK TO BE NEED TO SPEAK TO THE TO THE PEDESTRIAN. UM SO AS WE MOVE THOSE WE ALSO NEED TO LOOK AT IT ONLY MAKES SENSE TO DO THE SIDEWALKS AT THOSE INTERSECTIONS AT THE SAME TIME. SO UM, INSTEAD OF PUTTING IN THIS INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE ON THE SIDEWALK AND THEN HAVING TO GO BACK LATER ON AND HAVE TO REDO THE SIDEWALK. WE WOULD HAVE TO DO. WE'D LIKE TO DO IT ALL AT THE SAME TIME. UM AND THEN IN SCHOOL ZONE UPGRADES. WE'VE ALREADY STARTED. THIS IN IN FY 24. WANT TO UPGRADE ALL OF OUR SCHOOL ZONE. LIGHTS. UM, THAT WE'VE HAD. WE'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH, UM FORTUNATELY, WE'VE BEEN OPERATING THEM AS AS TIME GOES ON, BUT WE HAVE 9090 LIGHTS. IN THE IN OUR SYSTEM, AND WE $120,000 ONLY UPGRADES ABOUT 15 OF THEM. SO TAKE A FEW YEARS TO GET THAT UPDATED. SO AS WE MOVE ON, UM, OUR UTILITIES DIVISION LIKE I SAID, IS MADE UP OF WATER DISTRIBUTION, WATER QUALITY AND WASTEWATER. SO I WATER DISTRIBUTION. UM THEY MAINTAIN THE DISTRIBUTION CODE IN THE WATER MAINS, FIRE HID AND SPELLS AND SERVICE LINES. UM, WATER QUALITY. THEY THEY OPERATE AND MAINTAIN OUR PUMPING AND STORAGE FACILITIES. THEY ALSO COLLECT MONTHLY MONTHLY BACTERIA SAMPLES. UM 2022. WE BECAME UM WE BECAME MEMBERS OF TEXAS 811. 
          THIS IS ACTUALLY HELPED US BECAUSE WE KNOW WHERE. CONTRACTORS ARE WORKING. UM RIGHT NOW THEY THEY CALL 811. THEY AND 811 GIVES US A TICKET. SO WE GO OUT. WE MARK WITH THE WATER AND SEWER LINES ARE UM THIS IS ROUGHLY WE DO ABOUT PROCESS 10,000 TICKETS A YEAR. 
          FOR CONTRACTORS, UM AND THEN ALSO, WE'VE WE'VE MAINTAINED BEING A RECIPIENT OF THE SUPERIOR WATER SYSTEM. THROUGH TCQ. UM THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THERE'S A LITTLE OVER 7000 WATER SYSTEMS IN THE IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. ONLY ABOUT 13% GET THAT UM, DESIGNATION. SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE REAL PROUD OF. WE LIKE NO. LIKE HAVING IT LIKE TO KEEP IT. UM A LITTLE BIT OF DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM. UH, WE'VE ADDED ADDED TWO MILES OF WATER MAINS. WE'VE ONLY ADDED 43 FIRE HYDRANTS IN OUR SYSTEM. 218 SERVICE CONNECTIONS. WE'VE SEEN A LITTLE INCREASE IN WHAT WE PUMP. DAILY UM, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT THAT I ASSUME MILLION GALLONS PER DAY. 
          CORRECT YES, YES. SO IT'S 0.6 IS NOT A SMALL NUMBER OF ACTUAL WATER. SO IT IS. IT IS. YEAH. 
          QUITE SUBSTANTIAL. 600,000 GALLONS A DAY IS NOT NOT A SMALL AMOUNT. IT LOOKS I JUST JUST POINT OUT 5.1 TO 5.7 DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A BIG NUMBER UNTIL YOU HAVE TO TAKE THAT FRAME OF REFERENCE THAT 600,000 GALLONS A DAY INCREASE OVER THAT YEAR. SO AND WHAT WE'VE SEEN NOW IS, UM A LOT OF OUR WATER INFRASTRUCTURE IS AGING. UM FROM 22 TO 23 WE'VE SEEN, YOU KNOW. A NOT ONLY ONE THING THE SLIDE DOESN'T SHOW IS UM, IT WAS THE INCREASE OF SERVICES THAT WE THAT WE REPLACED. BUT WE ALSO REPLACED, UM, THE FIRE HYDRANT. WE HAD SOME FIRE HYDRANT THAT WE HAD TO BE REPLACED. SO THAT'S ONE THING THAT THAT'S WHY IT SAYS IT INCREASE TO 75 BECAUSE THE FIRE HYDRANTS WERE NOT INCLUDED IN IN THAT NUMBER. THOSE WERE JUST, UH, WATER SERVICES. WELL FROM THE 103 TO 176. UM, ONE THING WE'D LIKE TO DO. WITH OUR STAFF IS TO ADD TWO MORE EQUIPMENT OPERATORS AND FY 26. UM AND THEN EQUIPMENT WISE. UM. EQUIPMENT WISE, WE, YOU KNOW, UH ADD A NEW AIR COMPRESSOR, UH, TOW TOW BEHIND THE AIR COMPRESSOR THAT THE GUYS CAN USE. UM ADDING A UTILITY TRUCK. UM OF OUR A VALVE EXERCISE MACHINE. UM, TO REPLACE THE OUR EXISTING ONE. IT'S A TW TW, UH, 2014 UNIT. UM IT'S VERY SMALL. UM ONE THING THAT GUYS DO. WE'VE KIND OF BROKEN WATER OFF TO HAVE REPAIR CREWS AND YOU HAVE A MAINTENANCE CREW AND OUR MAINTENANCE CREW GOES AROUND THE CITY. THEY THEY EXERCISE THE WATER VALVES THAT ARE IN THE GROUND. THEY EXERCISE FIRE HYDRANTS. UM THAT'S 11 ASPECT OF FROM TCQ THAT WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN TO MAIN. TO HAVE THAT 
          [02:40:06]
SUPERIOR WATER DESIGNATION. UM OUR CURRENT VALVE EXERCISE TRAIL IS VERY SMALL. UM IF THERE'S DEBRIS IN THOSE IN THOSE WHERE THOSE VALVES ARE, WE CAN RIGHT NOW. I MEAN, WE CLEAN TWO OF THOSE TWO OF THOSE VALVE STACKS WHAT WE CALL THEM. THE VAL STACKS IN THE GROUND. WE CLEAN TWO OF THOSE AND THAT AND THAT DEBRIS TANK IS FULL, SO THERE'S A LOT OF GOING BACK AND FORTH BACK AND FORTH ALL DAY LONG TO TRY TO UM TO TRY TO BE PRODUCTIVE. UM ALSO UM REPLACE ONE OF OUR MANY EXCAVATORS. NOW THESE EXCAVATORS THEY GET USED DAY IN AND DAY OUT. SO THERE'S A LOT OF WEAR AND TEAR ON THEM. UM AND THEN REPLACE ARE WHAT THE GUYS USE FOR THEIR OWN CALL TRUCK. UM IF WE DO HAVE AN ASTERISK NEXT TO IT, BECAUSE WE DO WANT TO TAKE IT OUT OF A AS A FRONT LINE VEHICLE. WE WANNA PUT THAT INTO THE FLEET POOL. SHE CURRENTLY FLEET HAS WE HAVE NO SPARE VEHICLES. SO IF, UM A VEHICLE HAS TO HAS TO GO TO A VENDOR OR HAS TO GO TO CHEVY OR HA ANYWHERE. IT HAS TO GO IF WE HAVE EXTENDED DOWNTIME THAT DEPARTMENT OR WHETHER IT BE PUBLIC WORKS. UM OUR ENGINEERING STAFF. ANY OF THEM IF THEY'RE THEM BEING WITHOUT A VEHICLE IS KINDA IMPORTANT IS, YOU KNOW IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO HAVE A VEHICLE DAY IN AND DAY OUT. SO WE WOULD LIKE TO TRY TO HAVE SOMETHING IN OUR FLEET POOL. JUST SO THAT THEY CAN USE IT AS AND HAVE IT AS A SPEAR. UM THEN ALSO REPLACE ADD A ADD ANOTHER DUMP TRUCK. LIKE I SAID, WE CURRENTLY HAVE. WE HAVE ONE DUMP TRUCK FOR TO EXPLORATION TEAMS. SO IT'S A LOT OF SHARING BACK AND FORTH OF UM, ALSO 2026 PLAY SKIDS THERE. PLACE ANOTHER A THREE QUARTER TON TRUCK. UM AGAIN. TAKE THAT OUT OF ROTATION. PUT THAT INTO THE FLEET POOL, HOWEVER, IS A SPARE. 
          UM ADD TO UTILITY TRUCKS IN 2027. AND THEN WE ANTICIPATE OUR OUR BIG REPAIR TRUCK THAT WE HAVE WE ANTICIPATE BY 2029 THAT THAT'S GOING TO NEED TO BE REPLACED. UM BUT AS THE YEARS GET CLOSER, WE START. WE KEEP ON REASSESSING AND UM, WE MAY BE ABLE TO PUSH THAT OUT TO 2030 2031. WE'LL JUST HAVE TO SEE WHEN TIME COMES UM, OUR WATER QUALITY DIVISION. UM ONE THING WE DON'T HAVE RIGHT NOW. WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO IS, UM PUT CHLORINE ANALYZERS AT OUR AT OUR WATER AT THE WATER TOWERS AND OUR PUMP STATIONS. CURRENTLY WE DON'T HAVE THEM. UM, WITH A NEW WATER TOWER BEING BUILT THAT ONE WILL HAVE A CHLORINE ANALYZER, BUT WE WANT TO PUT THEM IN EVERYWHERE ELSE. AND ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO PUT THAT ONTO OUR SKATER SYSTEM. SO OUR SKATER SYSTEM IS WHAT WE MONITOR OUR WATER SYSTEM WITH, UM IT'S A GOOD WAY, IF THOSE ARE ALL TIED INTO OUR S SAYS IT'S A GOOD WAY TO QUICKLY LOOK TO SEE HOW OUR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM IS DOING. TO SEE HOW YOU KNOW. MAKE SURE WE HAVE ADEQUATE CHLORINE RESIDUALS THROUGHOUT OUR SYSTEM. UM ANOTHER. THING WE'RE LOOKING TO DO IS PUMP STATION. UM INSPECTIONS AND REBUILDS OF THE PUMPS A LOT OF THEM PUMPS. UM HAVE BEEN. AGAIN. WE'VE BEEN REACTIVE INSTEAD OF PROACTIVE, SO THIS THIS WILL GIVE US A MORE PROACTIVE APPROACH. TO ACTUALLY DO TESTING ON THOSE PUMPS YEARLY. UM SEE WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THEM. SEE HOW IF THEY NEED TO BE REBUILT, REPLACED UM ADDITIONALLY, UM THOSE MAG METERS WE CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE METERS ON OUR PUMP STATIONS. WE ARE RELYING ON NORTH TEXAS, TELLING US HOW MUCH WATER COMING IN AND WE CALCULATE BY PUMPS RUN AND HOW MANY GALLONS A MINUTE THEY'RE RUNNING HOW LONG THEY'RE RUNNING. SO THESE MAG METERS WOULD WOULD ACTUALLY GIVE US A FLOW. GIVE US A TOTAL FLOW OUT OF THAT STATION. UM, TO BE MORE ACCURATE. AND LIKE, AND ONCE ALL THAT INFRASTRUCTURE GETS IN THERE, UM 2027 DO, UH, SK UPGRADES SO THE COMPUTER. THE WHOLE COMPUTER SYSTEM THAT THAT RUNS EVERYTHING. BE ABLE TO UPGRADE IT. TIE ALL THIS INSTRUMENTATION INTO THAT SKATER SYSTEM SO WE CAN SEE IT FROM A COMPUTER SCREEN. YOU CAN SEE IT FROM YOUR CELL PHONE. YOU CAN SEE IT ANYWHERE. OUT AND ABOUT UM, OUR WASTEWATER DIVISION. THEY MAINTAIN OUR WASTE WATER COLLECTION SYSTEM. WE CURRENTLY HAVE. WE HAVE 10 SEWER LIFT STATIONS THAT WHERE SEWER FLOWS INTO AND WE PUMP IT BACK OUT. UM THEY ALSO DO GREASE TRAP INSPECTIONS FOR BUSINESSES. UM, AND THEY RESPOND TO CUSTOMER ISSUES. UM, A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THEM THEIR INCREASE, SO WE'VE INCREASED THREE MILES. OF SU MAINE OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. UM 1800 LITTLE OR 1800 SERVICE CONNECTIONS. HYDRO JETTING. SO 
          [02:45:09]
WE HAVE A TEAM THAT GOES OUT AND THEY ACTUALLY CLEAN THE SEWER MAINS. SO AGAIN, IT'S FOR US TO BE THAT PROACTIVE VERSUS REACTIVE. UM SO WE GO OUT. WE CLEAN THEM. WE TAKE A CAMERA. WE PUT A CAMERA DOWN THEM. WE SEE IF THERE'S ANY ISSUES WITH THEM. AND TRY TO FIX A LITTLE ISSUE BEFORE IT BECOMES A BIG ISSUE. UM UH, SU A LATERAL REPAIRS. WE'VE UM, WE ALSO HAVE A TEAM THAT GOES OUT AND THAT'S THAT'S ALL THEY DO IS REPAIR. WHATEVER THE OUR CAMERA TEAM FINDS. UM SO WE'VE 26 WE'VE SEEN, UH AN INCREASE AGAIN BECAUSE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE IS GETTING GETTING OLDER. UM A MANHOLE REHABS. A LOT OF THESE, UH ALL THESE MANHOLES ARE CONCRETE. UM SEWER GIVES US GIVES OFF. UM H TWO S HYDROGEN SULFIDE GAS. UM WHICH EATS EAT INTO CONCRETE, SO THEY'VE BEEN GOING AROUND REHABBING THESE. WE'RE LOOKING INTO POSSIBLY DOING A REHAB. UM PROGRAM WHERE WE CAN GO OUT AND ACTUALLY REIGN THESE MANHOLES INSTEAD OF REPLACING THEM, WHICH WILL BE A FRACTION OF THE COST. SO THEIR VEHICLE NEEDS AGAIN. THEY THEY DO A LOT OF DIGGING. 
          THEY DO. THEY'RE OUT IN THE STREET A LOT, UM, TO ADD A CONCRETE SAW. REPLACE REPLACE A SKID STAIR. AGAIN REPLACE REPLACE A VEHICLE BUT ALSO TAKE THAT USE THAT OLD VEHICLE AND PUT IT INTO OUR FLEET POOL. SO THAT WAY WE WOULD HAVE A TOTAL OF THREE FLEET VEHICLES. UM ADD ANOTHER UTILITY BODY. UM AGAIN. SOME OF THESE SOME OF THESE TRUCKS THAT ARE REPLACED OUT THAT ARE 23 YEARS OUT. NOT SAYING THAT THAT'S WHEN THEY'RE GONNA NEED TO BE REPLACED. WE JUST WANT TO ANTICIPATE THAT WE MAY NEED TO REPLACE THEM IN THOSE YEARS. UM UM, AS FAR AS OUR OUR LIFT STATIONS GO UM INSPECTIONS WE CURRENTLY EVERY LIFT STATION HAS A GENERATOR AT IT. UM, WE WANNA START DOING THE INSPECTION HAVING INSPECTIONS DONE YEARLY TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE NEED IF AND WHEN WE NEED GENERATORS, THEY'LL THEY'LL BE ABLE TO RUN. SO UM, BE ABLE TO GET A TEAM IN THERE TO DO THE INSPECTIONS REPAIR ANYTHING NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. UM ARES UPGRADES FOR OUR WASTEWATER. THIS ALREADY THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE STARTED IN FY 24. IT'LL BE FINISHED THROUGH FY 29. IF WE CONTINUE THE ROUTE THAT WE'RE GOING NOW OH, AND THAT'S JUST TAKEN ALL ALTHOUGH ALL THOSE PUMPS ARE WASTE WATER PUMPS AND BE ABLE TO PUT THEM ON SKATER SO WE CAN ACTUALLY TURN THEM ON AND OFF FROM OUR SKATER SYSTEM BECAUSE CURRENTLY WE THE ONLY ONLY WAY TO TURN PUMPS ON AND OFF IS TO ACTUALLY GO TO THAT LIFT STATION AND PHYSICALLY TURN THEM ON AND OFF. UM IF SOMETHING'S NOT WORKING PROPERLY, THEY ALL HAVE UM, FLOATS AND THAT MAKE THEM THAT THEY WHERE THEY SHOULD TURN ON. BUT IF THEY DON'T THEN THE ONLY WAY TO DO IT IS MANUALLY RIGHT NOW. UM LIKE I SAID, BEFORE WE'RE LOOKING INTO REIGN IN MANHOLES. UM, WE'D LIKE TO GET A PROGRAM STARTED. TO TRY TO BE A LITTLE MORE PROACTIVE VERSUS REACTIVE. UM SOMETHING. SOMETHING THAT'S NEW FOR US TO WOULD BE, UM TO START INSTALLING BYPASS PUMP INFRASTRUCTURE. UM CURRENTLY, WE DON'T. WE DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO BYPASS PUMP ANY OF THESE LIFT STATIONS. UM WHICH IS OF NEVER. WE NEVER HAVE A NEED FOR THAT. BUT UM I HATE TO HAVE A MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND BE ABLE TO HAVE A PUMP STATION GO DOWN, GENERATE A NOT NOT TURN ON. CATASTROPHIC FAILURE AT A AT A LIFT STATION AND NOT BE ABLE TO PUSHED THAT SEWER BACK UP TO WHERE IT CAN GO INTO GRAVITY. UM INSTALLING THESE BYPASS THE BYPASS PUMP INFRASTRUCTURE. WE WOULD HAVE AN OUTSIDE VENDOR COME IN. UM I'VE WORKED WITH A FEW IN THE PAST. 
          THEY COME IN. THEY HOOK RIGHT UP TO IT. THEY THEY GO RIGHT INTO WHERE THE WHAT? WHAT WOULD BE THE WET WELL AND THEY PUMP. THERE'S SOME INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S JUST OUTSIDE OF YOUR LIFT STATION THAT THEY PUT AS A FLANGE. THEY ATTACH TO, AND THEY YOU'RE BACK IN BUSINESS IN 2 TO 3 HOURS. SO THEY CAN PUMP. WHILE WE FIX OUR ISSUE ANY ISSUES WE HAVE, UM AND ALSO, UM, MOVING FORWARD TO WE WANNA START DOING A PUMP REPLACE PUMP REPLACEMENT SLASH STATION REBUILD. UH, WE CALLED IT A NOT JUST A PUMP REPLACEMENT BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A LIFT STATION RIGHT NOW. THAT DOES NOT HAVE A LINER IN IT. UM, IT IS JUST CONCRETE. AND THAT SEWER WATER AND THAT SEWER GAS IS STARTING TO EAT INTO THE THAT WALLS OF THAT WET WELL. UM, SO THAT WHOLE STATION IS GONNA NEED 
          [02:50:03]
TO BE REHABBED AT SOME POINT. UM IT LOOKS LIKE THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING FY 26. IS WHEN IT COULD POSSIBLY NEED TO BE DONE. UM. AND THIS IS JUST A QUICK RECAP OF WHERE WE ARE TODAY FOR OUR STAFF WISE AND WHERE WE'RE LOOKING TO GO. THAT'S IT. OK? WELL THANK YOU, SIR. FOR COMING THIS EVENING AND PRESENTING, UH, A LOT OF INFORMATION, AND I KNOW YOU HAVE A LOT OF AS YOU MENTIONED DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS THAT YOU COVER IN AREAS OF THE CITY THAT, UH, WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT THEIR AREAS THAT PEOPLE DON'T REALLY THINK A WHOLE LOT ABOUT UNTIL IT DOESN'T WORK. AND THEN THEY ARE VERY INSISTENT THAT IT WORKS IMMEDIATELY AND WHICH I'M SURE YOU GUYS EXPERIENCE ON YOUR END. UM APPRECIATE KIND OF THE LOOK INTO THE FUTURE IN THOSE DEPARTMENTS AND THERE WILL BE SEEING MORE DOWN THE ROAD. UM AS WE MOVE TO BUDGET SEASON AND THINGS LIKE THAT FROM MR PARKER AND YOURSELF, POTENTIALLY MR PARKER. SURE TOM. TOMMY IS A HUMBLE GUY, SO HE'S NOT GONNA SAY A WHOLE LOT, BUT HE IS OUR 2023 EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR. UM BUT HE HE HAS, UH, BEEN THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS AND REALLY TAKEN ON UM A LOT OF WHAT YOU'VE SEEN. HE'S REALLY DUG INTO, UM NO PUN INTENDED THE MESS THAT HE'S GOT GOING ON OVER THERE AND WHAT HE'S INHERITED AND THE LACK OF PLANNING THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE OVER THERE FOR SEVERAL FOR MANY YEARS, I GUESS, AND, UM, WE REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THAT. TOMMY'S DONE. UM HE'S REALLY CHANGED THE CULTURE OVER THERE AND, UM YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, YOU CAN TELL BY BY THE PRESENTATION THAT THAT HE PUTS A LOT OF EFFORT INTO, UM, HIS JOB. HE STILL GOES OUT AND RESPONDS WITH THE GUYS AND TRIES TO TEACH AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND PASS ON HIS KNOWLEDGE. SO, UM WE WE'RE WE'RE LUCKY TO HAVE TOM AND APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT HE'S DONE, SO I JUST WANTED TO PASS THAT. DOWNTOWN. WHEN THE WATER MAIN YES. MHM UP TO HIS ELBOWS AND YEAH, HE'S HE'S A GREAT GUY. OUT THERE IN THE MIDDLE. I'M SORRY, TOMMY. BUT THANKS FOR TEXTING ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU, SIR. THAT WILL CONCLUDE OUR FIRST WORK SESSION. WE'LL MOVE TO OUR SECOND, WHICH IS TO, UH GRADE. IT DISCUSS MID YEAR BUDGET 
          [WS2. Discuss Mid-Year Budget Adjustment for the Proposed Pay Plan.]
ADJUSTMENT FOR THE PROPOSED PAY PLAN. AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE MS BROWN. AND LOOKS AT MR PARKER. 
          GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. UM OVER THE LAST, UH MONTH. I GUESS YOU'VE RECEIVED A LOT OF INFORMATION FROM ME. UM REGARDING? UH UH UPDATED PAY PLAN. UH, BEFORE WE GET STARTED, I JUST WANNA SAY THAT, UM I REFLECTED A LOT OVER THE LAST MONTH AND SOUGHT GUIDANCE ON HOW THINGS COULD HAVE GONE DIFFERENTLY. UM I'M A MAN OF FAITH. AND I HAVE, UH, ALSO PRAYED A LOT TO SEEK WISDOM. THERE'S ONLY ONE PERFECT PERSON IN THIS WORLD AND IT AIN'T ME. 
          UM THERE'S UM I'VE HAD FRIENDS WHO REMIND ME OR I HAVE A FRIEND WHO REMINDS ME ON A REGULAR BASIS. SO ALWAYS OWN MY PART OF WHATEVER THE UH, SITUATION IS UM , IN IN IN COMMUNICATION. THE SENDER IS RESPONSIBLE TO ENSURE THE MESSAGE IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND PROPERLY RECEIVED. OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, I FELT I WAS COMMUNICATING A CLEAR PICTURE OF OUR CURRENT STATE. I WANT TO SINCERELY APOLOGIZE FOR ANY CONFUSION OR FRUSTRATION THIS MAY HAVE CAUSED IT IS NOT MY INTENTION FOR COMMUNICATION TO FALTER IN ANY WAY AND I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY PART I MAY HAVE PLAYED IN THE BREAKDOWN. COMMUNICATION IS FUNDAMENTAL TO OUR RELATIONSHIP, AND I DEEPLY REGRET ANY INCONVENIENCE OR DISCOMFORT CAUSED BY THIS LAPSE. I UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF CLARITY AND EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION. AND I'M COMMITTED TO ENSURING THAT SUCH BREAKDOWNS DO NOT OCCUR IN THE FUTURE. 
          MOVING RIGHT INTO THIS PROPOSED PAY PLAN. I'VE SENT YOU THE BREAKDOWN. ALL THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE PUT TOGETHER. BASED ON THE PAY GRADES. UM AND ANSWERED AS MANY QUESTIONS AS I COULD. UM THAT I WOULD SAY. I APPRECIATE THAT. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF QUESTIONS. I'M SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO SENT YOU. AND I'VE TRIED TO REDISTRIBUTE THOSE QUESTIONS, SO THAT ALL OF YOU ARE AWARE I HOPE I DIDN'T MISS ANY. BUT UH BUT I TRIED TO REDISTRIBUTE THOSE QUESTIONS AS 
          [02:55:06]
WELL. UM SO, UM WELL, BEFORE WE GET INTO THIS I, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT, UM THAT SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT, UH YOU REVOLVED AROUND UM, SOME POSITIONS EITHER BEING A LITTLE BIT OVER 100% AVERAGE OR A LITTLE LESS THAN 100% AVERAGE. AND THE WAY GOVERNMENT. UM IN GENERAL. UH DEVELOPS. PAY PLANS IS WE LOOK AT JOB DESCRIPTIONS AND DIFFERENT, UM, COMPETENCIES. 
          AND WE PLACE THOSE SIMILAR JOBS, THE PAY GRADES UH, TO CREATE THE OVERALL PAY PLAN STRUCTURE. AND THEN UH, WITHIN THAT STRUCTURE, THERE'S A MI, A MINIMUM AND A MAXIMUM. AND THEN THERE'S A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE IN BETWEEN EACH PAY GRADE TO ENSURE THAT THERE'S NO COMPRESSION. UH, MORE OVERLAP. UM IT'S NOT A PERFECT SYSTEM, EVERY CITY DOES IT A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY. BUT, UH, I GUESS IT WORKS FOR GOVERNMENT. AND, UM SO YOU WILL SEE. UM AS YOU REVIEW THAT INFORMATION, OR IF YOU'VE ALREADY I KNOW SOME OF YOU HAVE ALREADY REVIEWED THAT INFORMATION BECAUSE I'VE GOTTEN QUESTIONS. UH, YOU WILL SEE SOME OF THOSE UM, POSITIONS THAT ARE MAYBE AT 103 PER CENT VERSUS 100. AND, UM IF WE DIDN'T UM PUT UM CATEGORIES TOGETHER. UM, JUST OUR PAY PLAN. UM, FOR THE SIZE OF OUR CITY, WE'D HAVE 100 AND SEVEN. IF YOU WANTED TO SEPARATE ALL OF THE PAY GRADES OUT, WE'D HAVE 100 AND SEVEN PAY GRADES. WE CAN DO IT THAT WAY. IT'D BE A NIGHTMARE TO MANAGE. BUT IF THAT'S THE DIRECTION THAT YOU WANT TO GO UM, WE'RE HAPPY TO DO THAT. UM AND THEN SPECIFICALLY, UH TO, UH, PUBLIC SAFETY PLAN, WHICH IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT BECAUSE IT'S A IT'S A STEP PLAN. 
          UM, AGAIN, THE, UM QUESTION WAS BROUGHT UP. UM SPECIFICALLY FOR POLICE SERGEANT AND POLICE, LIEUTENANT. UM, THAT WAS NOT AT 100. OF THE AVERAGE THE WAY THOSE PAY PLANS ARE DEVELOPED AS WE STARTED POLICE OFFICER AND WE CREATE THAT STEP. AND THEN WE AND OUR PAY PLAN. THERE'S 3.5. 
          BETWEEN EACH PAY GRADE. SO IT MAY NOT BE. IT MAY NOT MEET EXACTLY AT 100. UM I THINK FOR POLICE LIEUTENANT, IT'S OFF BY A COUPLE OF $1000. UM BUT IN GENERAL. WE WANT TO KEEP THE MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF THE OF THE STRUCTURE IF YOU START BEGINNING TO MESS WITH ONE OF THE PAY GRADES UM, IT CAN CREATE SOME COMPRESSION. OVERLAP OR UH, JUST, YOU KNOW, THROW SOME OTHER THINGS OFF. SO AND MR PARKER JUST FOR ANYONE WHO MAY BE LISTENING OR OR LISTENING IN THE FUTURE COMPRESSION WOULD BE WHEN SOMEONE IS MAKE COULD POTENTIALLY BE MAKING MORE THAN THE PERSON THEY REPORT TO IS A PRETTY DECENT LAYMAN'S TERM. YEAH, SO LET'S SAY YOU HAVE A, UM A, UH A POLICE OFFICER THAT'S TOPPED OUT AND THAT POLICE OFFICER GETS PROMOTED TO SERGEANT. UM IF THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TO DISTINCTION BETWEEN THOSE TWO PAY GRADES. UM THAT POLICE OFFICER THAT'S TOPPED OUT COULD POTENTIALLY BE MAKING MORE THAN A CURRENT SERGEANT. JUST BECAUSE OF THE PAY INCREASE. SO THAT THAT'S WHY IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO WORRY ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE OVERALL STRUCTURE OF THE PAY PLAN. AND NOT TRY TO UM I MEAN, I MEAN, AND NOT TRY TO MANIPULATE EVERY PAY GRADE WITHIN THAT PLAN. UM YOU KNOW AGAIN, WE UH, TRY TO MEET 100% BUT BUT YOU, YOU KNOW YOU'RE GONNA BE A COUPLE OF $1000 OFF HERE OR THERE. AND, UM YOU KNOW IT JUST KIND OF THE WAY IT FALLS OUT. UM SO WITH THE INFORMATION THAT YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN UM, AGAIN. THE GENERAL FUND. UM, WE'VE MENTIONED LAST MEETING OR THE MEETING BEFORE. 
          UH, MAYBE HIS LAST MEETING. I DON'T KNOW. IT'S ALL RUN TOGETHER. UM THE GENERAL PAY PLAN. UM, IT WAS A LITTLE OVER $2 MILLION UM OUT OF WHACK IF YOU WILL. UM, AGAIN. WE HAVEN'T 
          [03:00:10]
LOOKED AT THIS PAID PLAN IN SEVERAL YEARS. YOU CAN SEE IN THE CHART HERE. ABOUT A MILLION AND A HALF OF THAT IS THE GENERAL FUND AND THEN THE OTHER TWO UTILITY FUND AND FOUR B FUND MAKES UP THE TOTAL OF A LITTLE OVER 2.3 MILLION. FOR MID YEAR. UM WE'RE AT ABOUT A MILLION ROUGHLY UH, FOR THE GENERAL PAY PLAN. I'VE ALREADY SEEN THE PUBLIC SAFETY, BUT IT'S UP THERE. UM IT'S ABOUT A MILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY FOR POLICE AND FIRE RESPECTIVELY. AND ABOUT A HALF A MILLION EACH FOR MIDYEAR. UM, THE EXECUTIVE PAY PLAN. UM, IT WAS ABOUT 400,000 OFF. WITH ABOUT 200 OF THAT BEING, UH, MIDYEAR. THE EXECUTIVE PAY PLAN HASN'T BEEN LOOKED AT. I THINK WE FIGURED UP UM AND ABOUT EIGHT OR NINE YEARS IT HASN'T BEEN ADJUSTED. UM WE WE'VE GIVEN THE, UM WHAT DO WE CALL THAT? UH MY, BUT WE HAVEN'T EVER GONE IN AND LOOKED IN. AT THE ACTUAL STRUCTURE BEFORE YOU MOVE ON MAYOR PRO. THANK YOU, I. I APPRECIATE THE EXPLANATION OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT, THE EXECUTIVE AND THEN UH, FIRE AS WELL. SO PUBLIC SAFETY AND POLICE THE ONE QUESTION THAT I DO HAVE IS A AS WE MOVE THROUGH THESE UNDULATIONS TO MAKE THESE CHANGES. IS THERE ANY CUSHION BUILT INTO THIS TO ENSURE THAT AS WE GET READY FOR THE END OF THIS YEAR TO COME THAT WE ARE SETTING OURSELVES UP IN A POSITION TO, I GUESS FORECAST FOR LACK OF BETTER. WORDS. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN TO PEER? STARTS AND TOPS. THE NEXT BUDGET CYCLE SO THAT WE'RE CLOSER TOGETHER, AND WE DON'T GET A DISPARITY OF AND I KNOW THAT'S HARD TO DO BECAUSE WE CAN'T FORECAST WHAT THEY'RE GONNA DO. 
          BUT WE HAVE SOME KIND OF HISTORY OF WHAT THEY'VE DONE IN THE PAST THAT WE COULD APPLY TO THIS CASE TO ENSURE THAT AGAIN THAT WE'RE DOING THE BEST WE CAN. TO ENSURE THAT WE DON'T GET INTO A POSITION WHERE WE'RE BACK AT MIDYEAR NEXT YEAR, LOOKING AT DOING SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS AGAIN, WE WILL RE EVALUATE IT AGAIN. BUT THERE IS NO WE? WE? THIS ISN'T BUDGETED AT 100 AND 5% OR 100 AND THREE. IT'S BUDGETED, UM 100 100% WHICH IS WHICH IS DIFFERENT THAN THE PREVIOUS DIRECTION, WHICH WAS 95% OF AVERAGE. SO AGAIN, THIS IS A HUGE STEP TO GET UP TO AND INCLUDING THAT POINT, SO I THINK IT WILL PROBABLY COVER THE DISPARITY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE THAT WE'RE MOVING IN THAT DIRECTION TO CREATE A SITUATION WHERE WE'RE IN LINE. IN OCTOBER AND NOT HAVING TO PLAY CATCH UP IN MARCH TO THE POINT WHERE WE'RE YES. 
          SUFFERING THE POSSIBILITY OF NOT BEING ABLE TO RETAIN OR OBTAIN TALENT. I MEAN, WE JUST UM I DON'T REMEMBER WHO IT WAS GRAND PRAIRIE GRAPEVINE. THEY JUST RELEASED THEIR NEW ONE FRIDAY. 
          SO I MEAN, IT'S JUST ALL IT'S JUST A NEVER ENDING. SURE, YOU KNOW, BUT YES, WE'RE DOING THE BEST WE CAN TO MAKE SURE WE KEEP UP AND WE'LL RE EVALUATE IT DURING THE NORMAL BUDGET PROCESS JUST TO MAKE SURE OUTSTANDING. THANK YOU, SIR. AND THANK YOU, MS BROWN AND YOUR TEAM FOR LOOKING THROUGH THIS AS WELL. UM SO THIS IS JUST A, UH A, UH, CONDENSED VERSION OF THE PREVIOUS SLIDE. THE PROPOSALS TO USE 1.8 MILLION OUT OF GENERAL FUND FUND BALANCE. 216,004 B SALES TAX AND 242,000 OUT OF THE UTILITY FUND. MOVING INTO FY 25 KIND OF YOUR POINT WHERE PRO TIM? UM IT'S ABOUT A $3.7 MILLION REVENUE REQUIREMENT. UM WE USE A MILLION FROM NEW CONSTRUCTION REVENUE. IT'S BEEN PRETTY CONSISTENT OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. UM A MILLION FROM THE 3.5 REVENUE CAP, WHICH IS ABOUT 1.4 CENTS. AND THEN A MILLION SEVEN FROM THE INCREMENTAL RATE THAT, UH, MS BROWN DISCUSSED. WHICH IS ABOUT 2.4 CENTS. UM, WE HAVE ABOUT 3.1 CENTS AVAILABLE IN THE INCREMENTAL RATE. UM AND WE'LL GET INTO THAT DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS, BUT I RECOMMENDATION WOULD PROBABLY BE TO USE THE WHOLE 3.1 CENTS. UM, THIS IS A LITTLE BIT LOWER. THAN WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED. THE 3.1 CENTS UM, BUT THAT'S BASED ON 
          [03:05:08]
SOME LEGISLATION THAT CHANGED ON THE CALCULATION. OF THE INCREMENTAL RATE THAT WENT INTO EFFECT IN, UH, NOVEMBER. UM SO WE HAD TO GO BACK AND ADJUST THAT, UM, TO COME UP WITH THIS 3.1 CENTS. UM AND IO. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS BASED ON CURRENT YOUR VALUES. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THOSE ARE GONNA BE. WE WON'T GET THOSE PRELIMINARY NUMBERS. UNTIL, UH NEXT WEEK WEEK AFTER NEXT I BELIEVE APRIL 4TH APRIL E. YEAH, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE DAY IS. SO I THINK I REMEMBER THAT, BUT SO UM SO THAT'S WHERE WE STAND TODAY. UM THIS IS THIS IS REALLY ALL I HAVE FOR A PRESENTATION. I HAVE UM, ANY OF THAT DATA THAT YOU WANT TO PULL UP? UM HAVE IT ON MY HANDY THUMB DRIVE HERE, AND I CAN PULL UP ANY OF THAT DATA THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE. UM BUT, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY, WE NEED SOME DIRECTION OF YOU WANNA MOVE IN THIS DIRECTION OR NOT, UM, I? I DID. AS COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS IS OUT. HE DID SEND ME AN EMAIL. UM AND I. I JUST I WANNA READ HIS COMMENTS. UM. SO HE SAYS HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE SAME CONSULTANTS THAT PERFORM. HOLD ON. I GOTTA I GET MY GLASSES ON. CAN'T READ THAT. UM I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE SAME CONSULTANTS THAT PERFORM THE PAY ANALYSIS 2 TO 3 YEARS AGO UPDATE THEIR DATA . I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR PERCENTAGE INCREASE OF THOSE WHOSE COMPENSATION IS UNDER 80,000 VERSUS THOSE WHOSE COMPENSATION IS OVER 80,000. AND WILLING TO SUPPORT AN INCREASE IN OVERALL PAYROLL SUFFICIENT TO COMPENSATE OUR EMPLOYEES COMPETITIVELY BUT WILL NOT AGREE NOW TO A TAX INCREASE FOR NEXT YEAR WITHOUT REVIEWING THE VALIDITY OF NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET. I WOULD ASK THAT WE SEE HOW QUICKLY THE CONSULTANTS COULD ASSEMBLE THE DATA LIKE THEY DID OR A SHORTENED VERSION. EVEN IF THAT MEANT WE APPLY. THE CHANGES ONCE FINALIZED RETROACTIVELY AS WE NEED UM, THERE'S JUST A FEW THINGS THAT THAT, UM UNFORTUNATELY, HE'S NOT HERE, BUT THERE'S A FEW THINGS THAT I'D LIKE TO CLARIFY. HERE, UM, NUMBER ONE. USING A CONSULTANT. TO DO WHAT WE'VE WE DO IN HOUSE WE HAVE STAFF THAT DOES THAT. BUT TO USE A CONSULTANT IS GONNA BE ANYWHERE FROM PROBABLY 75 TO $100,000. UM, WE'D HAVE TO PUT OUT FOR AN RFP PROCESS AND, UM, THE DATA. WOULD NOT. BE READY FOR THE BUDGET. UM, BECAUSE IT WOULD YOU'RE JUST TIMELINE TO GO THROUGH AN RFP PROCESS AND, UM AND GET THAT DATA COLLECTED. UM, THEY'RE NOT GONNA USE OUR DATA. I MEAN, THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY GONNA WANNA HAVE BILLABLE HOURS AND COLLECT THEIR OWN DATA AND GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS. SO, UM UH, UH, PERSONALLY. DON'T AGREE WITH THAT APPROACH, BUT I WILL GO WITH IT. UH, IF THAT'S THE DIRECTION OF THE COUNCIL. I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT. UM AND THEN THE FINAL THING IS JUST RETROACTIVELY. UM OBVIOUSLY WE SET A TAX RATE AND IT'S KIND OF HARD TO RETROACTIVELY PAY EMPLOYEES WANTS TO TAX RATE SET, SO WE CAN'T REALLY RETROACTIVELY PAY EMPLOYEES. UM BUT THAT WAS HIS STATEMENT. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I READ THAT TO THE COUNCIL. AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR GLAD HE'S HERE. SHE CAN ANSWER ANY COMPENSATION QUESTIONS THAT I MAY NOT ANSWER. OBVIOUSLY MISS BROWN IS HERE. SHE'S WAY SMARTER THAN I AM WHEN IT COMES TO FINANCES AND NUMBERS. YOU CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS. OK? I'LL OPEN IT TO COUNCIL FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT THEY MAY HAVE WHETHER DATA DRIVEN OR OTHERWISE. COMMENTS IN GENERAL. AND IF THERE'S NOT ANY DATA THAT THAT YOU WERE PROVIDED THAT YOU'D LIKE TO SEE. I MEAN, WE CAN CREATE IT, SEND IT TO YOU IN A FORMAT THAT'S BEST FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE. OK? COUNCILMAN HOOVER FIRST OFF MR PARKER AND THE REST OF THE STAFF. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR WORKING ON THIS SO FAST. THIS IS A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT YOU HAD TO PUT TOGETHER AND PRETTY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. UM, SINCE WE UM ME. UM FORTUNATELY, HR WAS ALREADY WORKING ON IT. SO THEY HAD A GOOD START ON IT. BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THEY DO A GREAT JOB. THAT'S THAT'S IT FOR NOW. OK? COUNCILMAN STRANG. THANK YOU, 
          [03:10:11]
MAYOR. UM APPRECIATE ALL THE EFFORTS YOU'VE BEEN PUTTING IN. I KNOW IT'S A LOT OF WORK. I KNOW. NONE OF THIS STUFF IS VERY FUN. AND THEN, OF COURSE, THERE'S ALL THE INFORMATION ALL OF US BEEN. ASKING FOR SPREADSHEETS AND THINGS AND I THINK IT'S BEEN VERY HELPFUL FOR ME TO KIND OF UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, HOW DO WE COMPARE TO OTHER CITIES? WHY IS IT THAT SOME CITIES HAVE A HIGHER PROPERTY TAX RATE FOR RESIDENTIAL THAN OTHERS? YOU KNOW, AND IT SEEMS BASED OFF OF WHAT I'VE LOOKED AT IN TERMS OF THE MIX THAT I WAS PROVIDED. OF ALL THE FIGURES AND EVERYTHING THAT IT REALLY COMES DOWN TO A LOT OF CITIES LIKE GRAPEVINE. THAT JUST HAVE A TON OF SALES TAX A TON OF COMMERCIAL A TON OF WAREHOUSES AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE. AND SO THEY CAN DRAW GREAT DEAL MORE REVENUE FROM THAT AND PROVIDE MORE RELIEF TO THE RESIDENTS, YOU KNOW, AND IT'S OBVIOUS. I THINK THAT IN PRIOR YEARS IN CITY PLANNING, PROBABLY GOING BACK A COUPLE OF DECADES THAT THEY PROBABLY ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT WHILE IT WAS GOING TO BE A SLEEPY BEDROOM COMMUNITY FOR THE METROPLEX. I'M NOT A FAN OF ANYWAY. UM, WHICH KIND OF PUTS US IN A SITUATION WHERE WE ARE NOW FORMER COUNCILMAN SAID THAT THE PRODUCT OF WILEY IS HOUSING. 
          I AGREE WITH THAT STATEMENT, BUT IS REALITY THAT WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW IS THAT WE'VE GOT A LOT OF HOUSING AND NOT SO MUCH SPACE FOR COMMERCIAL. AND SO I DO RECOGNIZE THAT IT'S GONNA BE A TOUGH THING TO FIGURE OUT. WHERE IS THE BALANCE? RIGHT. IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE THE MONEY TO COME UP WITH THE MID, UM THE MID WHAT DO WE CALL IT? MID MID ADJUSTMENT ADJUSTMENT. YES, SIR. 
          YES. THANK YOU. SO UM, BUT YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S GONNA BE RECURRING REVENUE. SO YOU KNOW WHERE, WHERE DO WE STRIKE A BALANCE BETWEEN POTENTIALLY HAVING TO CONSIDER RAISING PROPERTY TAXES A LITTLE BIT. YOU KNOW, ALONG WITH MAYBE I DON'T KNOW, POTENTIALLY HAVING TO CUT SERVICES IF WE HAVE TO. AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT LINE IS. I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT IT'S GONNA TAKE WORK OF ALL OF US TOGETHER TO TRY AND DETERMINE WHAT THE BEST WAY TO DO. THAT IS AND WHAT THE RIGHT DOLLARS. BUT I THINK I REALLY LIKE WHAT I'M SEEING HERE BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS PUTTING US ON THE PATH TO BE ABLE TO DO JUST THAT. ONE FINAL THING I'LL ADD TO IS JUST TO KIND OF PUT THINGS INTO CONTEXT. FOR EVERY ONE CENT THAT WE INCREASE THE TAX RATE. IT'S BASICALLY 100 BUCKS FOR A I'M SORRY. TENDER FOR ONE CENT. WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT $10 FOR $100,000 PROPERTY, RIGHT? MY MATH, RIGHT? I'M LOOKING AT THE FINANCE FOLKS. IT'S LATE. MY BRAIN'S NOT YEAH. IF RON'S SHAKING HIS HEAD, WE'RE GOOD TO GO. RON SAYS. THAT'S RIGHT, RON. 
          OK GREAT. SO UM, I DID SOME BACK OF THE NAPKIN STUFF, BUT, LIKE RIGHT NOW, I'M LIKE I DON'T DO I TRUST ANYWAY. UM YEAH. WHICH REALLY MEANS THAT YOU KNOW IF YOU GOT A $500,000 HOME, AND WE BUMP THE TAX RATE UP A SINGLE PENNY. THAT'S AN EXTRA, UM, 50 BUCKS A YEAR. IF YOU'RE A MILLION DOLLAR HOME, IT'S AN EXTRA 100 BUCKS A YEAR. I'M PRETTY SURE A MILLION DOLLAR PEOPLE CAN AFFORD $100 HOMES. UM, I KNOW MY HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE BILL. IT'S LIKE 25. 
          THAT'S SIGNIFICANT, BUT IT JUST SHOWS ME ONCE AGAIN AFTER I TALK TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE PROFESSIONALLY. FRIENDS AND FAMILY CURED THE STUFF WITH THE CITY. UM EVERYONE IS GETTING SQUEEZED. UP AND DOWN THIS ENTIRE PROBABLY THE ENTIRE PLANT, BUT CERTAINLY THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. AND THE SUPPLY CHAIN COSTS TO GET FILTERED ON NOT JUST TO PEOPLE WHEN WE BUY STUFF FROM THE GROCERY STORE, BUT EVERYTHING IN THE CITY HAS TO BUY. THEY DON'T MAKE THAT. 
          CHEVROLET MAKES HER TAHOES. SOMEBODY ELSE MAKES THE LIGHT BAR SOMEBODY ELSE. I DON'T KNOW WHOSE TIRES Y'ALL BUYING. YOU KNOW, HE'D TELL ME IT DOESN'T MATTER. POINT IS, THEY'RE ALL PASSING THOSE COSTS TO US, AND IT'S JUST PUTTING CONSTRAINTS ON ON ALL OF US. I DO RECOGNIZE THE CHALLENGE FOR US, BUT I THINK THAT WITH A LOT OF THIS, WE CAN YOU CAN GET THERE. OK? SO I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND REITERATE. I THINK MR PARKER IS LOOKING FOR NOT NECESSARILY REACHING A FINAL BUDGET NUMBER FOR NEXT YEAR. BUT GENERAL DIRECTION AND GUIDANCE FROM COUNSEL WOULD THAT BE MAYOR. YES, SIR. IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT WE NEED TO CHANGE OR TWEAK THAT THAT YOU ALL WOULD LIKE TO SEE WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING THAT BACK TO YOU NEXT MEETING TO DISCUSS AND THEN THEY PLAN WOULD BE TO BRING A MIDYEAR BUDGET AMENDMENT BACK THE LAST MEETING OF APRIL. 
          SEEK APPROVAL. AND MAYOR PROTON. OH, I'M SORRY IT POPPED UP. I THINK I THOUGHT I AM LOOKING AT A LITTLE SCREEN SO IT COULD HAVE JUST BEEN SOMETHING DIFFERENT. COUNCILMAN MAICI THANK YOU, MAYOR. UH, B. I WANT TO TAKE FIRST THANK YOU FOR YOUR STATEMENT INITIALLY COME IN HERE. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS. THIS IS A OPEN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STAFF AND THE COUNCIL. AT THE END OF THE DAY. WE GOTTA HAVE THESE TOUGH CONVERSATIONS. 
          SOMETIMES WE'RE IN ALIVE ABOUT IT. SOMETIMES WE'RE GONNA GO AT IT. AND WHEN WE HAVE TOUGH 
          [03:15:05]
CONVERSATIONS, THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE'RE JUDGING OR PUTTING ANYONE. IN A POSITION THAT IT'S NOT FAVORABLE IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM. WE'RE ALL WORKING TOGETHER TO FIND A COMMON GOAL THAT IS GONNA BEHOOVE THE STAFF AND THE COUNCIL, THE CITIZENS OF WILEY. 
          UM, LOOKING AT THESE NUMBERS, OBVIOUSLY. I'M LOOKING AT IT FROM A PERSPECTIVE OF SERVICES, RIGHT? THIS IS NOT GOING TO FIX SOME OF THE ROUTINE RETENTIONS ISSUES THAT WE HAVE. MONEY IS NOT GOING TO FIX ALL THE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE RIGHT. IT STARTS WITH A CULTURE THAT WE BUILT. 
          STARTS WITH EVERY DEPARTMENT HAD LEADING THEIR TEAM AND THEIR TEAM WANTING TO FOLLOW THAT LEADER AND WANTING TO FOLLOW WHAT WE'RE BUILDING HERE IN WILEY, WHAT WE'VE BUILT FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT ISSUES THAT EVERYBODY HAS. COULD BE PERSONAL COULD BE IN GENERAL OF DIFFERENT FORMS, DIFFERENT FORMATS DIFFERENT WAYS OF DOING IT. RIGHT. SO WE ALL HAVE TO BE AWARE THAT THIS IS NOT GOING TO ALL FIX OUR RETENTION ISSUE. I THINK THIS IS GOING TO TELL ALL OUR EMPLOYEES AND FUTURE. STAFF THAT COUNCIL IS WILLING IN LISTENING TO THEM. MAKING SURE THAT THEY FEEL APPRECIATED. THEY DON'T FEEL 95, BUT THEY FEEL 100. OF WHAT THEY'RE WORTH, BECAUSE NOBODY SHOULD FEEL 95% IT IS. IF YOU PUT IN THE TIME AND THE EFFORT, YOU SHOULD BE REWARDED FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING FOR THE CITY. UH, BUT I THINK THIS IS A STEP FORWARD TO ALLOWING COUNCILS. AND YOU PERSONALLY AND YOUR STAFF TO START. BUILDING SOMETHING FOR THE FUTURE. THIS FIVE YEAR PLAN THIS COMP PLAN THAT WE'RE WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER SHOULD ALLOW US TO BUILD A FOUNDATION THAT WE DON'T HAVE THESE ISSUES AND THESE ISSUES ARE GONNA COME UP. BUT AT LEAST WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE OPEN TO LOOKING AT THESE THINGS AND FIXING THE ISSUES THAT ARE COMING UP RIGHT SO OUR OUR CITIZENS ARE USED TO A LEVEL OF SERVICES THAT THEY CURRENTLY HAVE. AND WHEN THAT GETS START TO IMPACT. THERE IS NO SALES TAX THAT IS GOING TO COVER. THOSE SERVICES. WE CANNOT JUST HIRE AN EMPLOYEE AND PUT THEM ON THE STREETS AND GIVE THEM THOSE SERVICES. SO THIS IS A PRE PLANNING MAY COST US RIGHT NOW, BUT THIS IS WORKING TOWARDS THE FUTURE THAT'S GOING TO COVER THOSE SERVICES THAT CURRENT CURRENTLY WE DO. SO UM I'M I'M OLD FOR THE MIDYEAR BUDGET. I THINK AS WE MOVE FORWARD, TOWARDS NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET. I FULLY AWARE AS WELL THAT THIS WILL AFFECT NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET. 
          WILL IT AFFECT AT THIS RATE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT DEPENDS ON HOW THE VALUES COME DEPENDS ON OTHER THINGS THAT WE HAVE WORKING ON. IT WILL AFFECT HOW MY JUDGMENT IS OF NO NEW REVENUE RATE MOVING FORWARD. I'M ALWAYS GOING TO FIGHT AND MAKE SURE THAT THE CITIZENS SPECIFICALLY IN THIS ECONOMY. WE'RE ALL WORKING TOWARDS WITHIN OUR BUDGETS AND MAKING SURE THAT FITS AND I DON'T THINK OUR STAFF WILL PUSH TO A LEVEL THAT IT'S NOT ACCOMMODATING TO OUR CITIZENS AND WHAT THE EMPLOYEES NEED TO BE PAID. SO MY DIRECTION IS THAT WE MOVE FORWARD WITH MID YEAR BUDGET. WITH IN MIND THAT THIS WILL AFFECT OUR NEXT YEAR BUDGET AND AS WE WORK TOGETHER WITH YOU , MS BROWN AND FINANCE TEAM, WE WILL PUT A PLAN TOGETHER THAT I THINK IT'S GONNA WORK FOR ALL OF US. AND THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS AND PUTTING THIS TOGETHER. YES, SIR. THANK YOU. OK, MAYOR, PRO T. THANK YOU, MAYOR. SO UM ALONG THE SAME LINES AS COUNCILMAN MEIC I. I ALSO SUPPORT THIS MID YEAR BUDGET AMENDMENT AND BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A GOOD DIRECTION TO GO AND AGAIN. I DO APPRECIATE ALSO YOUR CONVERSATION. TO BEGIN THIS MEETING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. OK? UH, COUNCILMAN DUKE. YOUR THOUGHTS. THANK YOU, MISTER PARKER AND STAFF FOR PUTTING TOGETHER THE NUMBERS, UM, WITH MAYOR PRO TEM UM, I SUPPORT THE MID AMENDMENT AND, UH, WE'LL WORK WITH YOU AND STAFF ON, UH, ON THE BUDGET PROCESS GOING FORWARD. THANK YOU, SIR. THAT BELIEVE COUNCILMAN HOOVER WAS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANTED TO ADD TO YOUR EAR. EARLIER STATEMENTS. 
          I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE AND THAT LEAVES ME SO I. I SUPPORT IT AS WELL. I THINK, UH, ULTIMATELY I KNOW WHEN YOU CAME IN WITH YOUR CONVERSATION TO US. IT WAS DRIVEN OUT OF THE FACT THAT IF WE DON'T TAKE CARE OF THE EMPLOYEES THAT WE HAVE AND UNTIL THE OPENINGS THAT THAT THAT EXIST THAT WE COULD PUT 1000 FTES ON HERE, BUT IF, BUT IF WE'RE NOT ABLE TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN TALENT THAT DOESN'T MATTER. UM AND SO I APPRECIATE THE QUICK WORK. I KNOW YOU GUYS ANSWERED. BASED ON THE EMAILS. YOU PROVIDED NOT JUST QUESTIONS I HAD. IT WASN'T JUST THERE WERE 
          [03:20:04]
A LOT OF QUESTIONS FROM COUNSEL FOR DATA AND INFORMATION. AND, UH, DEFINITELY GOT ALL OF ALL OF WHAT WAS REQUESTED FROM YOU GUYS. AND I APPRECIATE THAT AND APPRECIATE, UH, THE PROMPTNESS OF IT. UH, IT MAKES IT A LOT EASIER, UH, TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THIS BECAUSE IF SOMEONE LOOKS THEY SEE THOSE FOUR LITTLE BOXES HAD THE MOST INFORMATION. UH, BUT THE AMOUNT OF DETAIL THAT WAS PROVIDED MAKES THAT SIMPLE, BUT I AGREE. I THINK THE MIDYEAR BUDGET NEEDS TO COME BACK AS PROPOSED, UM, A AND AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, UH, I DON'T KNOW. WHERE WE WHERE WE WILL END UP AT A FINAL RATE, BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT RATE THIS YEAR IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF THE EMPLOYEES THAT WE HAVE. AND SO YOU KNOW, I WILL WORK WITH YOU GUYS. I. I WILL WORK WITH YOU GUYS WHEN IT COMES TO THAT ON LOOKING AT WHERE WE END UP ON ON RATES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, SO, BUT DEFINITELY SUPPORT MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS AND SEEING IT COME BACK IN APRIL AS PROPOSED. ON BEHALF OF THE EMPLOYEES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          I KNOW THIS MEANS A LOT TO THEM. UM SORRY. I BOMBARDED YOU WITH A TON OF INFORMATION, BUT OBVIOUSLY IT'S IMPORTANT AND I KNOW THEY APPRECIATE IT. UM, I'VE HAD A LOT OF POSITIVE COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH, AND I KNOW THAT THE EMPLOYEES FEEL APPRECIATED BY YOU BY YOUR STATEMENTS THAT YOU'VE MADE SO UM, THANK YOU FOR ALL ALL THE WORK THAT YOU'VE PUT IN ON THIS AS WELL. ALL RIGHT.
