[Presentation of appreciation to outgoing Mayor pro tem and Councilmember Jeffrey Forrester]

[00:05:09]

SO THIS EVENING IS THE FINAL MEETING FOR OUR MAYOR PRO TEM, JEFF FORRESTER. WHEN I JOINED THIS COUNCIL SEVEN YEARS AGO NOW, I HAD THE HONOR OF GETTING TO KNOW JEFF DURING THAT TIME.

HE HAS SERVED AS THE MAYOR PRO TEM FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS. HE HAS SERVED IN THAT POSITION WITH MULTIPLE COLLEAGUES, MULTIPLE MAYORS, AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN SOMEONE THAT WE CAN TURN TO, SOMEONE WHO DOES THEIR RESEARCH, SOMEONE WHO IS GROUNDED IN HIS OPINIONS, AND SOMEONE WHO IS ALWAYS DOING WHAT HE THINKS IS BEST FOR THE CITY OF WYLIE. NOT BEST FOR HIMSELF, NOT BEST FOR A SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE, BUT FOR THE ENTIRE ELECTORATE THAT HE HAS BEEN PUT IN PLACE TO REPRESENT. HE HAS SPENT HOURS UPON HOURS UPON HOURS ATTENDING EVENTS, SUPPORTING NON-PROFITS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. AND YOU WOULD NOT KNOW A LOT OF IT UNLESS YOU'VE BEEN THERE AND SEEN HIM THERE, BECAUSE HE IS NOT SOMEONE WHO IS GOING TO DO IT FOR SELF-PROMOTION. I CAN TELL YOU HE'S PROBABLY GOING TO GIVE ME A LECTURE LATER ABOUT SAYING THIS TONIGHT, BUT HE DESERVES THAT RECOGNITION AND THAT HONOR. HE STEPPED UP TO VOLUNTEER AND HAS SPENT NINE YEARS VOLUNTEERING ON THIS COUNCIL, AND MANY MORE YEARS THAN THAT, VOLUNTEERING WITHIN THIS COMMUNITY. SO TONIGHT, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE TIME THAT YOU'VE SPENT.

WE HAVE SEVERAL THINGS TO PRESENT TO YOU. WE ACTUALLY HAVE A GUEST THIS EVENING, AND I'D LIKE TO LET HER START US OFF WITH HER PRESENTATION. MR. MAYOR PRO TEM JEFF FORRESTER. DEAR MR. FORRESTER, AS YOU STEP DOWN FROM YOUR ROLE AS WILEY CITY COUNCIL, I WANTED TO RECOGNIZE THE DEDICATION AND LEADERSHIP YOU HAVE BROUGHT TO OUR COMMUNITY OVER THE YEARS, YOUR COMMITMENT AND PASSION FOR THE WELL-BEING OF OUR RESIDENTS HAVE LEFT A LASTING IMPACT ON THE CITY AND THE FUTURE. THROUGHOUT YOUR TENURE, YOUR EFFORTS TO PROMOTE REASONABLE GROWTH, SUPPORT PUBLIC SAFETY, AND ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF THE LIFE OF WILEY CITIZENS HAS BEEN DEEPLY APPRECIATED. YOUR WILLINGNESS TO LISTEN, COLLABORATE, AND ADVOCATE FOR THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY REFLECTS YOUR TRUE SPIRIT OF PUBLIC SERVICE. PLEASE KNOW THAT YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS WILL BE REMEMBERED AND VALUED BY THE EVERY RESIDENT WHO WHO HAS WHOSE LIVES YOU HAVE TOUCHED. I WISH YOU THE BEST OF YOUR FUTURE ENDEAVORS AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOUR CONTINUED INVOLVEMENT IN THE COMMUNITY IN NEW WAYS. SINCERELY, KEITH. SELF. MEMBER OF CONGRESS, TEXAS CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT THREE. AND HE ALSO, IN ADDITION TO THE LETTER, SENDS YOU A PROCLAMATION. SO WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING YOU IN NEW, NEW PLACES. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SO WITH THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO. YEAH. NO,

[00:10:13]

A SMALL TOKEN OF OUR APPRECIATION FOR ALL OF THE TIME THAT YOU HAVE ALLOWED HIM TO SPEND SERVING THE CITY, BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE UP VOLUNTEERING, YOU'RE NOT AT HOME, WHETHER THAT'S WITH YOUR SPOUSE, CHILDREN, WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE. YOUR TIME IS SPENT HERE. AND SO I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE THAT OUR FAMILIES ARE THE ONES WHO ARE PICKING UP THE EXTRA WORK, THE EXTRA THINGS AT HOME. SO THANK YOU FOR SHARING HIM WITH US. YEAH. DO YOU WANT TO HELP ME WITH THIS? OH, AND SO WHAT WE'RE PRESENTING TO YOU TODAY FROM THE CITY WITH ASSISTANCE FROM THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES HERE IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, IS A FLAG THAT WAS FLOWN FOR YOU AT THE CAPITOL, HONORING YOUR SERVICE TO THE CITY AS A COUNCIL MEMBER AND THE MAYOR PRO TEM. AND THAT FLAG IS ALSO ENGRAVED WITH YOUR NAME AND YOUR YEARS OF SERVICE.

THIS WAS FLOWN THE 1ST OF APRIL, AND YOU CAN SEE HERE THE ATTESTATION. AND WE HAVE THIS FOR YOU. TO DISPLAY WITH IT AS WELL.

SO WE ALSO HAVE ONE LAST GIFT FROM THE CITY. OF. AND WE'RE NOT QUITE DONE.

WE ALSO HAVE FROM THE SENATE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, A CERTIFICATE OF CONGRATULATIONS FROM SENATOR ANGELA PAXTON, AS WELL AS THE SEAL FOR ANOTHER FLAG THAT WAS FLOWN ON YOUR BEHALF. I'LL LET YOU OPEN THIS. AND SO YOU WILL HAVE A FLAG AS WELL, WITH THE THANKS OF THE STATE FOR YOUR SERVICE THAT WAS PROVIDED. SENATOR PAXTON WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE BEEN HERE, BUT AS YOU KNOW, THEY ARE IN SESSION.

SO WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO TURN THE MICROPHONE OVER TO YOU. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY A COUPLE OF WORDS. JUST A COUPLE. RIGHT. SO THIS HAS GOT TO BE PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST HONORS OF MY LIFE. BETWEEN SERVICE TO MY COUNTRY AND SERVICE TO THE CITY THAT WE LOVE, I COULDN'T HAVE DONE ANY OF THIS WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF MY FAMILY. I THANK THE MAYOR POINTED THAT OUT. BUT JULIE, MY CHILDREN, MY PARENTS HAVE BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE IN THIS ENDEAVOR AND I GREATLY APPRECIATE THAT. SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, WE'RE NOT HERE FOR ME. WE'RE HERE FOR MR.

[PR1. National Police Week.]

SO THIS EVENING WE ARE ALSO GOING TO BE HONORING THE WYLIE PD FOR NATIONAL POLICE WEEK.

WYLIE IS BLESSED TO HAVE THE TYPE OF POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT WE HAVE. WE HAVE A DEPARTMENT THAT IS TRULY DEDICATED NOT JUST TO PROTECTING, BUT ALSO TO SERVING THE RESIDENTS OF THIS COMMUNITY. THEY ARE EXCEPTIONALLY SKILLED, BUT THEY ALSO ARE CARING. YOU WILL FIND A DEPARTMENT THAT IS FORWARD THINKING THAT IS LEADING THE WAY WHEN IT COMES TO THINGS LIKE MENTAL HEALTH WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY, WHERE WE HAVE MENTAL HEALTH COORDINATORS, WE HAVE PLANS FOR FUTURE GROUPS AND UNITS WHO WILL TACKLE MENTAL HEALTH. SPECIFICALLY, WE HAVE A CRIME VICTIM ADVOCATE TO ASSIST THOSE WHO ARE THE UNFORTUNATE RECIPIENTS OF THE CRIMES THAT THEY ARE WORKING TO SOLVE AND TO STOP. I KNOW THAT I SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE COUNCIL. I SPEAK ON BEHALF OF OUR CITY WHEN I SAY THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU ALL DO DAY IN AND DAY OUT, IT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE FOR OUR CITY. YOU ALL SACRIFICE YOUR TIME AWAY FROM FAMILY HOLIDAYS, NIGHTS, WEEKENDS, AND YOU ALSO TAKE THAT RISK EVERY DAY THAT YOU GO INTO THE OFFICE, EVERY DAY THAT YOU GO INTO WORK, AND YOU DO THAT ON BEHALF OF PEOPLE WHO MAY NEVER KNOW YOUR NAME OR MAY NEVER INTERACT WITH YOU, BUT YOU ALL ARE THE ONES THAT ARE THERE PROTECTING US. AND SO ON BEHALF OF THE CITY, ON BEHALF OF THE COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO. THANK YOU FOR THE SACRIFICES THAT YOU MAKE ON OUR BEHALF. WYLIE IS AN AMAZING PLACE TO LIVE AND YOU ALL ARE A HUGE PART OF THAT. YOU GUYS PROTECT OUR PROPERTY, YOU ASSIST OUR CITIZENS, AND EVEN MORE THAN THAT, I KNOW THE WORK THAT YOU ALL DO TO PROTECT THE MOST VULNERABLE, WHETHER THAT BE CHILDREN WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY AND THE WORK THAT IS DONE THERE, WHETHER THAT IS THE ELDERLY IN OUR COMMUNITY AND ALSO THE WORK THAT IS DONE DAY IN AND DAY OUT DURING THE YEAR IN OUR SCHOOLS.

SO AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO RECOGNIZE ALL THAT YOU DO. I KNOW I COULD PROBABLY SPEAK ALL NIGHT AND ONLY SCRATCH THE SURFACE OF THE DIFFERENCE THAT YOU MAKE IN OUR COMMUNITY. I'D LIKE TO GIVE EACH OF YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF. MAYBE TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT YOU DO WITH WYLIE PD TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU CAN. MY NAME IS BILLY MCINTOSH.

AND WHEREAS LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL ARE DEDICATED TO OUR COMMUNITY, WORKING TIRELESSLY TO TRANSFORM NEIGHBORHOODS ACROSS OUR COUNTRY, IMPROVING OUR CITY AND UPHOLDING THE RULE OF LAW, WHEREAS PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICERS PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE TO PROTECT OURS, SOMETIMES MAKING THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE. AND WHEREAS WHILE WE CAN NEVER ADEQUATELY THANK OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS FOR THEIR SERVICE, WE CAN USE EVERY TOOL AT OUR DISPOSAL TO PROTECT AND KEEP OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT SAFE.

THANK YOU ALL.

[PR2. Economic Development Week.]

[COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS]

[00:35:04]

STREETS ARE SUPER NARROW, WHICH COULD BE A FACTOR FOR FIRE TO GET THROUGH AT TIMES, AND OVERALL WE HAVE LACK OF MAIN CUT THROUGH STREETS, SO WE HAVE LIMITED ENTRY AND EXIT POINT. SO WE NOW HAVE THREE STREETS THAT ARE THE MAIN CUT THROUGH STREETS, WHICH THIS IS WHERE THE SPEED CONCERN HAPPENS. I SENT OVER ILLUSTRATIONS TO THE COUNCIL EMAIL THAT LISTED OUT THE SAFETY CONCERNS THAT LISTED OUT LIVE OAK, ROSEMARY AND DAYLILY AS THOSE THREE STREETS.

OVER THE YEARS WE SENT REQUESTS AND COMPLAINTS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THE CITY KIND OF MET US WITH BLOCKS AND NO SOLUTIONS. BUT WE WENT AHEAD AND FLOODED THE REQUEST. A FEW WEEKS AGO WE WERE MET WITH BLOCKS AGAIN, SO I ESCALATED IT TO THE COUNCIL EMAIL. SO FIRST LET ME SAY THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE INITIATIVE TO THIS MATTER, BECAUSE IT'S A GREAT FIRST STEP, BECAUSE YOU'VE FORWARDED IT TO THE CITY MANAGER AND PD CALLED ME TODAY THAT THEY PROVIDED THE TECHNOLOGY POSTED ON THOSE THREE STREETS TO START COLLECTING DATA OF THE SPEED THAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. SO JUST I KNOW YOU CAN'T ANSWER QUESTIONS, BUT I WANT TO KEEP IT TOP OF MIND.

YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS ONCE WE COLLECT THE DATA? WHAT'S NEXT? WE DON'T WANT TO TAKE PD AWAY FROM VERY SERIOUS MATTERS, BUT SPEED IS A SAFETY CONCERN IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE RESIDENTS THAT WILL OFFER THEIR DRIVEWAY. THEY CAN USE THEIR BATHROOM. WE WILL PROVIDE SNACKS, ANYTHING TO PROVIDE COMFORT FOR OFFICERS TO COME IN AND ACTUALLY COME AND DO CITATIONS IF WE NEED TO, TO HELP PUSH AND NUDGE SOME SPEED CONCERNS THERE. IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED AS WELL THAT THE CITY ORDINANCE IS 30MPH ON THOSE STREETS. COULD WE PROTEST IT? IF SO, WHAT IS THE PROCESS? THERE ARE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE AT 25. HOW DO THEY GET IT? CAN WE DO IT? AND THE LACK OF THE FOUR WAY STOP OF DAILY AND LIVE OAK, THE RUNNERS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD HAVE IT HIT, HAVE BEEN HIT ALMOST DAILY ON A DAILY BASIS BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF THE FOUR WAY STOP. THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE BROUGHT IT TO ATTENTION. BUT LIKE I SAID, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR MAYOR PORTER AND FOR WILEY PD TO TAKING THE FIRST STEP ON TRYING TO FIND SOLUTIONS TO OUR ISSUES. IT IS FOR THE KIDS. IT'S FOR THE ELDERLY WHO WALK. IT'S FOR THE RUNNERS WHO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. IT'S FOR THE DOG WALKERS. IT'S FOR THOSE WHO ARE JUST TRYING TO GET OUT THEIR MAIL AND NOT GET HIT BY A CAR. AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT'S FOR US, THE RESIDENTS OF DOMINION. THANKS. THANK YOU. OKAY. AND MISS STORM, I DO BELIEVE THAT WAS THE ONLY INDIVIDUAL WHO COMPLETED A FORM TO SPEAK DURING NON AGENDA. THAT'S CORRECT. SO

[CONSENT AGENDA]

OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION WITH A SECOND TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED. COUNCIL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO. THE CONSENT AGENDA IS PASSED AS PRESENTED.

[3. Consider, and act upon, the appointment of Mayor Pro Tem for a term beginning May 2025 and ending May 2026.]

[00:40:05]

AND SO I WOULD ASK THAT EVERYONE KEEP THAT IN MIND WITH IF THEY'RE INTERESTED IN MAKING THAT COMMITMENT. WITH THAT BEING SAID, I WOULD LIKE TO OPEN IT UP TO NOMINATIONS FOR THE MAYOR PRO TEM POSITION AT THIS TIME. IF YOU'RE WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE SOMEONE, PLEASE DO SO AT THIS TIME. COUNCILMAN MALIK MAYOR, I DON'T WANT TO NOMINATE. I DO WANT TO SAY THAT I AM INTERESTED ON THE MAYOR PRO TEM, AND I'LL JUST SAY THE REASONS WHY IS MAYOR PRO TEM WILEY? BECAUSE THE CITY IS MORE THAN JUST WHERE I LIVE. IT'S WHERE I RAISE MY FAMILY, WHERE I BUILD MY BUSINESSES, WHERE MY KIDS ARE BEING RAISED AND GOING TO SCHOOL. I DEEPLY CARE ABOUT THE WILEY FUTURE COLLABORATION, LISTENING TO THE CITIZENS, BEING ABLE TO COLLABORATE WITH THE CITIZENS AND THEIR CONCERNS, WORK WITH OUR CITY STAFF, OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT, OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, OUR PUBLIC SAFETY OVERALL, AND MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE NEEDS OF THE CITIZENS ARE ARE MET. I THINK I'M EASY TO FIND WHEN THE RESIDENTS WANT TO FIND ME, I THINK THEY ARE ACCESSIBLE PRETTY EASY, AND I THINK I'M ALSO HERE TO SUPPORT THE COUNCIL AND YOU AS MAYOR.

OKAY. DO WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE WHO IS INTERESTED IN THE POSITION? COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS THANK YOU, MAYOR. I'D BE WILLING TO SERVE IF IT WAS THE COUNCIL'S WILL IN IN THAT ROLE. I'D BE HONORED TO.

OKAY. WOULD YOU? I KNOW COUNCILMAN MALIKI GAVE A BRIEF STATEMENT. WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADD A BRIEF STATEMENT OF YOUR OWN, GIVE YOU THAT OPPORTUNITY? THANK YOU. MAYOR. SO, OF COURSE I HAVE A BUSINESS. OUR FAMILY IS HERE. LIKE COUNCILMAN MALIK, WHO I DEEPLY RESPECT, LOVE SERVING, LOVE GETTING OUT WITH OUR COMMUNITY, LOVE GETTING OUT AND VISITING OUR POLICE, OUR FIRE, PUBLIC WORKS, THE EVENTS AND BEING INVOLVED. I JUST LIKE BEING INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY.

AND SO I KNOW THE MAYORAL ROLE IS BEYOND THE LOGISTICAL SIDE OF MAYOR PRO TEM HAVING TO STEP IN WHEN YOU'RE NOT AVAILABLE. I WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR THOSE TYPES OF EVENTS, AND I SEE YOU QUITE OFTEN AT THOSE EVENTS AND ENJOY DOING SO. AND IF I'M NOT THE MAYOR PRO TEM, I'LL PROBABLY STILL BE THERE. I JUST ENJOY ENJOY IT. SO I WOULD BE HONORED IF IT'S THE COUNCIL'S WILL.

THANK YOU. OKAY. DO WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE WHO IS INTERESTED IN THE MAYOR PRO TEM POSITION? IF WE DO NOT, THEN I WOULD BE OPEN TO A MOTION FOR NOMINATION FOR AN INDIVIDUAL COUNCILMAN STRING.

THANK YOU. MAYOR. EXCUSE ME. I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE APPOINTMENT OF COUNCILMAN GINO MALIKI AS MAYOR PRO TEM FOR A TERM BEGINNING MAY 2025 AND ENDING MAY 2026. OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION FOR COUNCILMAN MALIKI AS STATED. DO WE HAVE A SECOND COUNCILMAN DUKE? YES. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. I SECOND. OKAY, WE DO HAVE A MOTION WITH A SECOND AS STATED. COUNCIL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. THE MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO. I WANT TO CONGRATULATE COUNCILMAN MALIKI.

BUT, COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALSO BEING WILLING TO STEP UP AND SERVE AND DO HOPE TO SEE YOU IN THE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS AT MANY OF THESE EVENTS IN THE FUTURE. I KNOW HOW

[4. Consider, and act upon, the appointment of a 2025 Board and Commissions City Council Interview Panel to conduct the May 2025 board applicant interviews.]

YES. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. I'D BE INTERESTED IN SERVING AGAIN THIS YEAR. COUNCILMAN DUKE IS INTERESTED. DO WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE WHO IS INTERESTED THIS EVENING? OKAY, THEN I WOULD BE

[00:45:04]

MAYOR. I MAKE A MOTION TO APPOINT MAYOR PRO TEM MALIKI. COUNCILMAN DUKE, COUNCILMAN STRANG TO SERVE ON THE 2025 BOARDS AND COMMISSION. CITY COUNCIL INTERVIEW PANEL. WE HAVE A MOTION AS STATED. DO WE HAVE A SECOND COUNCILMAN HOOVER? I SECOND, DO WE HAVE A MOTION WITH A SECOND? AS STATED, COUNCIL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO. ITEM FIVE IS

[5. Consider, and act upon, a Preliminary Plat of Country Club Estates creating 173 residential lots and seven HOA lots on 59.755 acres, generally located at 1755 FM 1378 and 1813 and 2241 McMillen Road.]

THE ITEM IS REMOVED FROM TABLE AND MAY NOW BE TAKEN UNDER CONSIDERATION. MR. HASKINS, MAYOR. MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. AS MENTIONED LAST TIME, THE THIS ITEM WAS TABLED AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING JUST DUE TO THE DEVELOPER WANTING TO DO A LITTLE BIT MORE STUDY ON THE ENGINEERING TO MAKE SURE THAT LIKE THEIR DETENTION PONDS AND THEIR OPEN SPACES AND ALL OF THAT WOULD WORK AS PRESENTED ON THE ON THE PRELIMINARY PLAT, AND THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT.

AND WHAT IS PRESENTED TO YOU THIS EVENING IS THEIR FINAL PRELIMINARY PLOT. WITH THAT, I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS. AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE THIS EVENING.

OKAY. SO HELP ME OUT WITH WHAT THE FINAL DECISION WAS. THERE, THERE. THE BASIC QUESTION BEFORE WAS THERE WAS TWO QUESTIONS THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO ANSWER. WAS ONE, WAS THERE DETENTION AREA BIG ENOUGH AND LOCATED IN THE RIGHT AREA? AND IT IS IT'S IN THE SOUTHWEST CORNER. AND IT WILL BE. AND THEN THE SECOND THING THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO ANSWER WAS WHETHER TO DO PIPING UNDER THEIR PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT, OR USE AN EASEMENT ON THE PROPERTY THAT WAS TO THE EAST. AS OF RIGHT NOW, THEY HAVE NOT SECURED A EASEMENT ON THE PROPERTY TO THE EAST. SO THEY'RE GOING TO GO WITH PIPING AS OF RIGHT NOW. BUT THAT CAN CHANGE BETWEEN NOW AND THE FINAL PLAT.

AND IT REALLY DOESN'T AFFECT THE TECHNICAL CORRECTNESS OF THIS OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAT. OKAY. AND AM I CORRECT THAT IT LOOKS LIKE THEY CHOSE TO GO WITH A AN ACCESS DRIVE WHICH WILL HAVE THE GATE? YES, SIR. AS OPPOSED TO IN ORDER TO EASE THE DRAINAGE ISSUES THAT THEY HAD SEEN TO THE NORTH. YES, SIR. IF, IF THE WHEN THE ZONING, WHEN THE ZONING WAS APPROVED, THE CITIZEN COMMENTS ENGINEERING, FIRE, BASICALLY CITY STAFF AND THEN COUNCIL ALL PREFERRED THAT OPTION. AND SO THE DEVELOPER WENT AHEAD AND WORKED TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. OKAY. ALL RIGHT I JUST WANT I KNEW THOSE WERE THE MAIN POINTS THAT WERE BEING ASKED ABOUT AT THE LAST MEETING. I DO KNOW THAT WE HAD SOMEONE WHO ASKED TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, SO I WOULD LIKE TO LET THEM COME FORWARD.

THAT WAY, IF THEY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE CAN MAKE SURE THOSE GET ADDRESSED. SO I WILL CALL MR. PARDON ME. JOSHUA THORNBURG. AND AS YOU KNOW, IF YOU WILL STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. HI, MY NAME IS JOSHUA ROMBERG. I LIVE AT 1423 BEARPAW LANE IN WYLIE, TEXAS. FIRST OFF, CONGRATULATIONS. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF Y'ALL. SO DEFINITELY GREAT TO SEE. AT OUR LAST MEETING, WE WERE INFORMED THE FURTHER DRAINAGE STUDIES WERE UNDERWAY REGARDING THE COUNTRY CLUB ESTATES. WE DISCUSSED THE PLAT APPROVALS ON THE AGENDA NIGHT, BUT WE'D LIKE TO DISCUSS OUR CONCERNS STILL ABOUT DRAINAGE. WE'VE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH MR. HASKINS, AND WE'RE TOLD THAT OUR PROPERTY WILL WILL RECEIVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF WATER AT THE SAME RATE AS IT DOES NOW, AS REQUIRED BY LAW. WHILE WE ALL KNOW THAT WATER ENCROACHMENT IS ILLEGAL, EXPERIENCE DOES TELL US A DIFFERENT STORY. AS LONGTIME RESIDENTS OF MCMILLEN ROAD, WE DO NOT BELIEVE THE VOLUME OR RATE OF WATER WILL REMAIN UNCHANGED. WE HAVE ALREADY WITNESSED HOW DEVELOPMENT AND ROAD CONSTRUCTION COMPOUND THE

[00:50:01]

THAT'S USUALLY SEVERAL HUNDRED PAGES THICK WHEN IT COMES TO A PROJECT OF THIS SIZE. THAT'S WHEN THE FINAL NUMBERS ARE BROUGHT IN, AND THOSE ARE REVIEWED BY THE CITY STAFF AND STAMPED BY THE DEVELOPER'S ENGINEER, A STATE LICENSED ENGINEER. OKAY, SO THERE WOULD STILL BE ADDITIONAL REVIEW THAT WOULD BE DONE FOR KIND OF THE FINAL NUMBERS FOR ANY FLOOD STUDY THAT WOULD COME THROUGH AS A FINAL PLAT. THAT IS CORRECT. CORRECT, YES. AND WOULD IT ALSO BE CORRECT TO STATE THAT WE ARE QUITE SOME TIME AWAY FROM THIS PROJECT GETTING UNDERWAY? AND THAT MIGHT BE A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT. YES, SIR. I'M I KNOW THAT THEY'RE EAGER TO GET STARTED, BUT I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY THEIR OVERALL TIMEFRAME BESIDES WHAT WAS PROVIDED DURING THE ZONING CASE. IF YOU REMEMBER, HE TALKED ABOUT THEY'RE PROBABLY A YEAR TO TWO YEARS, AND THEN THEY'RE BUILDING 5 TO 10 HOUSES A YEAR. WAS THE GOAL SOMETHING LIKE THAT AFTER THAT, THAT GENERAL OKAY, 35 YEARS, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT BEFORE THEY CAN START ANY EXTENSIVE WORK OUT THERE, THEY HAVE TO. YEAH. THEIR NEXT STEP WOULD BE TO PROVIDE THE CITY WITH CIVIL ENGINEERING PLANS. AND THEN THEY WOULD APPLY FOR WHAT'S CALLED A GRADING PERMIT, WHICH ALLOWS THEM TO AT LEAST START MOVING DIRT AROUND, DEMO THE HOUSE THAT'S ON THERE AND THAT SORT OF THING. AND I BELIEVE THAT WAS THE POINT AT WHICH THE TOWERS HAVE TO COME DOWN. YES, SIR. THOSE HAVE TO COME DOWN BEFORE ANYTHING HAPPENS. OKAY, WELL, I SEE WE HAVE OTHER INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY HAVE QUESTIONS, SO I'M GOING TO TURN IT TO THEM. MAYOR PRO TEM, THANK YOU. MAYOR. I GUESS I'LL JUST BE BRIEF. NOT A QUESTION, A STATEMENT, REALLY. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE PRELIMINARY PLAT AS IT'S PRESENTED TONIGHT, BUT I DO WANT TO MAKE A VERY STRONG STATEMENT ON. I DON'T EXPECT THEM JUST TO BUILD THEIR OWN PLAT. I DO EXPECT THEM TO FIND OUT HOW THIS WATER IS COMING FROM ALL SIDES, AND HOW IS THIS GOING TO IMPACT THE WHOLE AREA, BEING THAT ALL THESE HOUSES ARE COMING AND THAT WATER THAT'S COMING INTO THEIR PROPERTY, HOW IS THAT GOING TO BE REDIRECTED AND HOW IT'S DONE? SO WHEN THE FINAL PLAT COMES IN

[00:55:05]

I'M FISHING HERE. CIVIL ENGINEERS. THEY HAVE TO HAVE A P IN ORDER TO STAMP PLANS. IT IS A LEGAL STATE LICENSE, NO DIFFERENT THAN A DOCTOR OR A LAWYER. SO IT'S THEIR LICENSE. I MEAN, IT'S AT THAT LEVEL. ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANYONE IN THE DRAINAGE WORLD THAT DOES DRAINAGE SURVEYS AT THE CONCLUSION OF A PROJECT THAT SIGNS OFF ON HOW IT FINALLY ENDED UP DRAINING, HOW THAT THE CALCULATIONS TURNED OUT AND THAT IT DOES ACTUALLY PERFORM AS IT WAS INTENDED? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SOMEBODY FROM THE CITY, SIR? NOT FROM THE CITY, NO, NO, NO. IS THERE ANY PART OF THE BUILDING PROCESS AT THE END OF THE DEVELOPMENT THAT IS PART OF A FINAL RELEASE THAT HAS TO DO WITH REVIEWING THE DRAINAGE, THAT THE INITIAL PROJECTION THAT THE ENGINEER THE P PUT OUT TRANSLATED TO ACTUAL WORK HAPPENING, AND THAT THE RESULT TURNED OUT AS THEY ANTICIPATED. THE SHORT ANSWER WOULD BE YES. OKAY, I AM NOT AN ENGINEER, AS YOU KNOW, BUT I KNOW THEY HAVE. I MEAN, WHEN THE CIVIL THE CIVIL ENGINEERING PLANS COME IN, YOU KNOW, THE PIPES ARE ALL SIZED BASED ON THE WATER THAT THEY EXPECT TO COME THROUGH. THAT DETENTION POND IS A CERTAIN SIZE AND A CERTAIN, YOU KNOW, A CERTAIN AREA AND A CERTAIN DEPTH IN ORDER TO HOLD THE WATER AND SLOWLY RELEASE IT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE, AS MR. FULMER POINTED OUT, THERE'S NO DOUBT WHEN YOU CONCRETE SOMETHING, THE WATER FLOWS FASTER. SURE, BUT THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF THE DETENTION POND. THE DETENTION POND, BASICALLY, ALL THE WATER GOES THERE AND THEN IT IS SLOWLY RELEASED AT THAT SAME LEVEL AND VELOCITY THAT IT WAS PRIOR TO DEVELOPMENT. AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THOSE DETENTION AREAS. SO FOR MR. THORNBURG TO TRY TO GAUGE WHETHER OR NOT HE'S NOW TAKING ON WATER, WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST? I COULDN'T TELL YOU. I CAN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I'LL COME BACK IF I GOT SOMETHING ELSE. OKAY.

THANK YOU. OKAY. COUNCIL. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, MAYOR. I'M READY FOR A MOTION. OKAY. I'D BE OPEN TO A MOTION. MAYOR PRO TEM, MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PRESENTED. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PRESENTED. DO WE HAVE A SECOND, COUNCILMAN STRANG? SECOND, WE DO HAVE A MOTION WITH A SECOND TO APPROVE. COUNSEL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. MOTION CARRIES SEVEN

[6. Consider, and act upon, the approval of the change order in the amount of $1,094,315.30 to Tiseo Paving Company and authorizing the City Manager to execute any necessary documents.]

IT ENDED UP BEING FINALIZED LAST YEAR, AND IT WAS BROUGHT TO COUNCIL. THAT WAS APPROVED FOR AN ILA WITH EAST FORK FOR ABOUT 900,000. THEN WE HAD TO TAKE THAT UPDATED DESIGN TO THE CONTRACTOR AND GET AN UPDATED COST FROM THEM. THAT COST CAME IN ABOUT 1.3, SO WE ALREADY HAD 200 UNDER CONTRACT WITH THEM. SO THIS IS TO ADD THE ADDITIONAL 1.1. TECHNICALLY THIS WILL PUT US OVER BUDGET, BUT PER THE ILA WITH EAST FORK THEY ARE GOING TO REIMBURSE US 61%, WHICH WILL BRING US BACK DOWN INTO BUDGET STILL WITHIN OUR CONTINGENCY THAT WAS PRE AWARDED WITH THIS PROJECT. OKAY, SO ESSENTIALLY 60% OF THAT WILL COME BACK TO US THROUGH THAT. ILA. YES SIR.

[01:00:01]

[WS1. Parks and Recreation Department overview and Five-Year Plan.]

YEAH FULL SCREEN. CHIEF CONTROLLER. YEAH. OR GO UP THERE TO ALL TO AND THEN YOU TALK YOURS GOOD AS I AM. I DON'T HAVE MY GLASSES EITHER. NO. NO. SORRY. MENU. YEAH. NOW SCROLL DOWN THERE TO VIEW. KEEP YOU ON THAT RIGHT THERE. AND THEN FULL SCREEN UP THERE. OH IT'S CONTROL L. GOOD EVENING COUNCIL. MY NAME IS CARMEN PALIN. I'M THE DIRECTOR FOR PARKS AND RECREATION. I'M THE LAST DEPARTMENT TO PRESENT, AND I WOULD ARGUE PROBABLY THE FUNNEST DEPARTMENT TO PRESENT ON. AS I SAY, THEY LEFT THE FUN ONE FOR LAST. YEAH, WE GET TO BE THE FUN DEPARTMENT. I HAVE LOTS OF GOOD NEWS THIS YEAR TO SHARE WITH YOU. AND THEN AT THE END OF THE PRESENTATION, WE'LL TALK ABOUT SOME OF OUR FINAL NEEDS IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS. NOT FINAL NEEDS, BUT OUR UPCOMING NEEDS. AND I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT. SO JUST VERY QUICKLY I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR DEPARTMENT. JUST A LITTLE BIT OF REFRESHER. WE HAVE THREE INDOOR FACILITIES. SO THAT'S COMMUNITY PARK CENTER. THAT'S THE REC CENTER AND BROWN HOUSE. WE HAVE MORE THAN 660 ACRES OF PARKLAND AND OPEN SPACE, 19 MILES OF TRAIL, 16 DEDICATED ATHLETIC FIELDS, NINE MULTI-PURPOSE FIELDS, TWO ATHLETIC COMPLEXES. WE MAINTAIN MORE THAN 140 ACRES OF RIGHT OF WAYS AND MEDIANS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. THIS YEAR WE SOLD 17,168 REC PASSES. WE HAVE 13 OUTDOOR PUBLIC ARTWORKS THAT WE TAKE CARE OF. THERE'S 50 ACRES OF NON PARK CITY FACILITIES THAT WE TAKE CARE OF. THAT INCLUDES LIKE PUBLIC SAFETY HERE AT CITY HALL, 22 PLAYGROUNDS AND 9641 PROGRAM. REGISTRATIONS WERE TAKEN THIS YEAR. AND THROUGH ALL OF THOSE THINGS, WE AVERAGE ABOUT 2.5 MILLION VISITORS EACH YEAR. PARKS AND RECREATION HAS ECONOMIC IMPACT THROUGHOUT THE CITY. IT HELPS TO REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS, STIMULATE TOURISM, GENERATE SALES, PROVIDE JOBS, REDUCE PUBLIC HEALTH COSTS, ATTRACT BUSINESSES, INCREASE PROPERTY VALUES, AND ATTRACT HOMEBUYERS. OUR DEPARTMENT IS MADE UP OF 117 EMPLOYEES. 70% OF THOSE EMPLOYEES ARE PART TIME OR PART TIME SEASONAL. WE ALSO MANAGE CONTRACTS WITH MORE THAN 200 SERVICE PROVIDERS. THE MAJORITY OF THAT IS FOR CLASSES, BUT WE ALSO WORK WITH CONTRACT MOWERS AND WE CONTRACT OUT FOR SOME OF THE CLEANING, LIKE AT THE OUTDOOR RESTROOMS. OUR STAFF MAINTAINS SEVERAL DIFFERENT CERTIFICATIONS. THE NEWEST ONE TO THIS LIST IS GOING TO BE FOR POOL OPERATOR, WHICH IS THROUGH THE AQUATIC COUNCIL, WHICH WE

[01:05:01]

AND PRIOR TO THAT, IT WAS SOME TURF THAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO ON THE PITCH. FROM 2324. FISCAL 2324 OUR PART EXPENSES ARE ON THIS NEXT SLIDE. THE THING THAT I WANT REALLY THE TAKEAWAY FOR THIS SLIDE IS NOT ALL THE TINY DETAILS, BUT MORE THAT WE DO MAINTAIN A BALANCE OF OPERATIONS TO THE RENOVATIONS, DEVELOPMENT AND ACQUISITION. WE DON'T WANT TO GET IN A POSITION WHERE ONE IS TOO HIGH. WE DON'T WANT OPERATIONS TO BE TAKING OVER ALL OF THAT, BECAUSE THEN WE'RE NOT ABLE TO ADD ANYTHING TO ANYTHING NEW. BUT WE ALSO DON'T WANT TO PUT A LOT EXCUSE ME TOO MUCH INTO RENOVATIONS, DEVELOPMENT, ACQUISITION, BECAUSE THEN WE CAN'T TAKE CARE OF IT. AND JUST A CLOSE UP OF THE RENOVATION DEVELOPMENT ACQUISITION PORTION. AGAIN, JUST SHOWING THAT OUR DEPARTMENT IS VERY GOOD AT MAINTAINING A BALANCE OF NEW DEVELOPMENT AND RENOVATION.

OKAY. THIS IS WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR, RIGHT? OKAY. SO PROJECT UPDATES. THANK YOU ALL FOR EVERYONE THAT CAME OUT TO THE SPLASH PAD GRAND OPENING ON SATURDAY. WE HAD A GREAT TURNOUT. WE'VE HAD A LOT OF POSITIVE FEEDBACK. WE'VE HAD A FEW MINOR ISSUES THAT WE'VE BEEN TWEAKING AND GETTING THINGS ADJUSTED. NOTHING OVERWHELMING. WE'RE GETTING IT TAKEN CARE OF.

SO ON THE SPLASH PADS AGAIN, I KNOW I'VE SAID IT SEVERAL TIMES. I JUST WANTED TO THANK MR. BRANT

[01:10:03]

THEN ON THE NEXT SLIDE, WE WERE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE FIELD RENOVATIONS AT FOUNDERS NORTH.

THAT SECTION IS PRIMARILY USED BY SOCCER PIRATE COVE PLAYGROUND, WHICH OPENED THIS YEAR AS WELL. AND WE DO HAVE A FEW FUN THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ADDING TO THAT IN THE FUTURE. Y'ALL STOP ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I KNOW YOU ALL ARE PRETTY FAMILIAR WITH THE PROJECT, SO COUNCILMAN, MAYOR PRO TEM, THANK YOU. CAN YOU UPDATE US ON THE FIELD RENOVATIONS OVERALL? WHAT'S THE IS THERE MAYBE ANOTHER SLIDE ON? YES, I DO HAVE SOME MORE THAT'S ON HERE. YES. DO YOU WANT ME TO. YOU JUST WANT TO WAIT UNTIL I GET ON THIS ONE. IT WAS JUST SOCCER THAT WAS DONE, CORRECT? YES. IT WAS JUST THAT IN THE NORTHERN PORTION. NORTHERN PORTION. OKAY. YES. BUT YES, WE ARE ADDRESSING THE WHOLE PARK. THE RENOVATIONS FOR COMMUNITY PARK CENTER, WHERE WE WERE ABLE TO NOT JUST DO THE FACELIFT OUTSIDE, BUT WE WERE ABLE TO GET OUR RESTROOMS IN COMPLIANCE WITH ADA AND ADD A FITNESS AREA, WHICH HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY POPULAR. NEXT SLIDE THE PLAYGROUND AT COMMUNITY. IT HAD BEEN A MASTER PLAN HAD BEEN DONE FOR THAT PLAYGROUND BACK IN 2017, BUT THE FUNDING WASN'T THERE TO DO THE ENTIRE THING, SO WE WERE JUST RECENTLY ABLE TO COMPLETE THAT PROJECT, WHICH ADDED SEVERAL FEATURES AND THE POURED IN PLACE SURFACE THAT WE ARE ALL VERY EXCITED ABOUT. WE COMPLETED THE PAVILION OVER AT THE LIBRARY GARDEN, BACK BEHIND THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX THIS LAST YEAR, AND THEN WE'RE WRAPPING UP NOW REPAIRS AND PAINT ON BROWN HOUSE. AND IF YOU GET A CHANCE, PLEASE GO STOP BY AND SAY HI TO STAFF AND TAKE A LOOK. IT LOOKS AMAZING. THERE WAS A LOT OF DAMAGE, LIKE IN THE SOFFIT IN THE DENTAL MOLDING THAT HAS BEEN REPAIRED. THE NEW SHUTTLE TRANSIT VANS THAT THE STAFF ARE USING TO TRANSPORT THE SENIORS THAT ATTEND COMMUNITY PARK CENTER. THAT IS GOING VERY WELL.

POSITIVE FEEDBACK, AND IT'S MUCH EASIER FOR THE STAFF TO DRIVE THAN THE LARGER BUSSES, EASIER TO PARK THESE THINGS. THE PICKLEBALL EXPANSION. WE NOW HAVE SIX COURTS AT COMMUNITY FOR PICKLEBALL THAT'S ALWAYS PACKED. I'M SURE YOU ALL HAVE SEEN IT. AND THEN WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF ADDING SHADE COVERING OVER THE OVER 90% OF PIRATE COVE PLAYGROUND, AND THAT WILL BE WRAPPING UP. WELL, THE ENGINEERING IS WRAPPING UP AND THAT WILL BE INSTALLED LATER THIS YEAR. WE JUST CLOSED DOG PARK THIS WEEK TO DO THE LIGHTING INSTALLATION. THAT WILL ONLY TAKE ABOUT A WEEK OR SO TO GET THAT COMPLETED, AND THEN WE'LL BE OPEN AGAIN. THE TRAIL CONNECTION WITH MURLEY, WILEY AND MURPHY IS IN PROGRESS RIGHT NOW, AND THE FIELD RENOVATIONS FOR FOUNDERS SOUTH, WHICH IS PRIMARILY FOOTBALL, THEIR SPACE, SOME SOCCER, BUT MOSTLY FOOTBALL. SAYING IF I HAD ANY ADDITIONAL NOTES ON THAT ONE. OH, TIM, DID YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT? SORRY, NO IRRIGATION IS HAPPENING THIS WEEK ON THAT ONE.

AND THEN SOD SO THAT THAT PROJECT IS MOVING ALONG PRETTY QUICKLY. OKAY. THEN PARKING FOR FOUNDERS AND COMMUNITY THAT IS IN THE DESIGN PHASE NOW, AND THAT WILL BE TAKEN ALL THE WAY

[01:15:01]

YES FOR SURE. OKAY. OKAY. AND THEN RIVERWAY AND SAGE CREEK PLAYGROUND REPLACEMENTS ARE UNDERWAY. INSTALLATION FOR RIVERWAY IS NEXT WEEK AND THEN SAGE CREEK IS BEING INSTALLED THIS WEEK. OKAY. AND BOTH OF THOSE PLAYGROUNDS, ACTUALLY ALL OF OUR PLAYGROUNDS MOVING FORWARD WILL HAVE SOME ALL INCLUSIVE COMPONENTS TO THEM. AND FOR BOTH OF THESE, BECAUSE I KNOW IT MAY COME UP, WE'RE DOING ENGINEERED WOOD FIBERS FOR NOW. MAYBE SOMEDAY DOWN THE ROAD WE'LL BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO DO THE PORT AND PLACE SURFACING THERE. BEFORE WE MOVE INTO THE MORE NITTY GRITTY, SO TO SPEAK. I JUST WANTED TO COMPLIMENT YOU AND YOUR STAFF ON THE WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING. TO YOUR POINT, IT'S GREAT TO ADD THINGS LIKE THE SPLASH PADS, DOG PARK, PICKLEBALL, BUT ALSO GOING BACK, UPGRADING THE PLAYGROUNDS THAT ARE THERE AND NEED TO BE REPLACED, ADDING THE PORN PLAY, SURFACING SHADE, DIFFERENT THINGS TO REALLY GET THE MOST OUT OF WHAT WE'RE OFFERING, AS OPPOSED TO TRYING TO SPREAD OURSELVES TOO THIN AND HAVING MORE OF A LIMITED USE WITH IT. SO I JUST WANTED TO COMPLIMENT YOU GUYS ON THAT, BECAUSE I THINK IT I THINK IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE TO SLOWLY GROW, BUT TO ENHANCE WHAT YOU HAVE SO THAT PEOPLE CAN USE IT FOR EXTENDED HOURS, HAVE ACCESS, THINGS LIKE THAT. SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO YOU AND YOUR STAFF. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE THAT. REC CENTER ANNUAL REPORT HIGHLIGHTS.

WE HAD AN ERROR ON THAT FIRST SQUARE. THAT SHOULD ACTUALLY BE A MILLION. THAT SHOULD NOT BE OKAY. THAT SHOULD BE GOOD. THAT'S THAT'S TECHNICALLY WHAT ONE. SO THAT'S A GOOD THING. I MEAN TECHNICALLY IT'S A ROUNDING ERROR SURROUNDING AREA. SO THIS IS EXCELLENT NEWS. THE USER FEE INCREASE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A VERY SMALL AMOUNT, IT HAS HAD GREAT IMPACT.

THE OUR SURVEYS STILL COME BACK REALLY GOOD. AND WE DID HAVE A 35% INCREASE IN KID AND TEEN SUMMER REC PASSES THIS LAST YEAR. SO ALL OF THOSE CHANGES THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT WE IMPLEMENTED HAVE REALLY IT HAS GONE THE DISTANCE FOR SURE. THE. REC PASS RESIDENT USER UNIQUE USER RATE IS AT 13%. THE STATE OR SORRY, THE NATIONAL BENCHMARKS ONLY SIX. SO THAT MEANS WE ARE DOING VERY WELL. THE WE HAVE 35% OF OUR RESIDENTS IN WYLIE HAVE DONE SOMETHING THAT'S ALSO VERY IMPRESSIVE FOR HAVING JUST ONE REC CENTER, AND I'M VERY EXCITED TO SAY THAT OUR COST RECOVERY FOR I'M JUST TALKING ABOUT DIRECT COSTS RIGHT NOW. THE DIRECT COST COST RECOVERY IS ALREADY UP TO 110%, WHICH WE ARE SEEING IT. YOU KNOW, LAST YEAR I THINK I CAN'T REMEMBER IT'S LIKE 1 OR 3, 105. SO WE ARE SEEING IT CONTINUE TO GROW. AND AT THIS POINT THE CHANGES THAT WE MADE TO THE FEES, WE HAVE NOT SEEN THAT GROWTH PLATEAU YET. IT'S STILL GROWING. I AM GOING TO START WORKING WITH STAFF IN A FEW MONTHS AT IS IT. WE'LL START ASSESSING FEES AGAIN AND TO DECIDE, DO WE NEED TO COME BACK TO YOU AND SAY, HEY, WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT FEES AGAIN, OR IF WE CAN LET IT GO ANOTHER YEAR OR SO, YOU KNOW, BEFORE WE START TO SEE A PLATEAU. I THINK WE TURN THAT OVER, DO WE NOT? DID WE CHANGE THAT? IT USED TO HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY COUNCIL. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO HAVE YOUR APPROVAL. I'M JUST SUPPOSED TO DISCUSS IT. OKAY. YEAH. FAIR ENOUGH. I REMEMBER IT USED TO REQUIRE COUNCIL TO ACT EVERY TIME THERE WAS A CHANGE MADE. THIS INFORMATION IS FAMILIAR TO YOU ALSO FROM LAST YEAR WHERE WE

[01:20:02]

WE ARE MEETING OR EXCEEDING ON THE AMOUNT OF PARKS AND OPEN SPACE. WE HAVE YOUTH BASEBALL FIELDS, TODDLER PLAYGROUNDS, PLAYGROUNDS JUST IN GENERAL. WE NOW HAVE THE DOG PARK, WE HAVE A SKATE PARK, OUTDOOR BASKETBALL COURTS, THE COMMUNITY GARDEN WHICH WE IS KIND OF A CO-OP WITH THE LIBRARY, OUR REC CENTER. AND THEN WE HAVE A COMMUNITY CENTER. WE DID HAVE A FEW SPOTS WHERE WE'RE NOT MEETING THE MINIMUM, BUT WE'RE ALL AWARE OF THEM. WE DON'T HAVE NECESSARILY ENOUGH FIELD SPACE OVERALL. WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH COURT SPACE OVERALL, DON'T HAVE THAT LARGE PARCEL OF LAND THAT WE NEED TO DO. THAT AMPHITHEATER IS ANOTHER ONE. AND THEN AQUATIC ELEMENT IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE ON THE NATIONAL REPORT CARD. AND YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THAT ALSO REFLECTED IN OUR MASTER PLAN. THE MASTER PLAN WAS ADOPTED IN 2020. WE'LL PROBABLY START LOOKING AT THAT PROCESS AGAIN IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS OR SO TO DO AN UPDATE. BUT WE ARE EITHER HAVE COMPLETED OR WE'RE IN PROGRESS ON SEVERAL ITEMS, INCLUDING TRAIL CONNECTION, SPLASH PADS, OUTDOOR BENCHES AND SEATING, DOG PARK, PLAYGROUND PLACEMENTS, AND PARK ART. THOSE ARE ALL IN OUR TOP TEN. THE THINGS THAT WE'RE STILL REMAINING LISTED IN THE TOP TEN FROM THE MASTER PLAN WERE SOME SORT OF A WATER RECREATION, BE IT POOL, LAKE, OR WHATEVER AMPHITHEATER, ADDITIONAL LIGHTING, AND ADDITIONAL ATHLETIC FIELDS. NO CHANGES HERE. THREATS THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED FOR OUR DEPARTMENT CONTINUE TO BE THE JUST THE PACE OF INCREASING COSTS, PRIORITIZATION AND BALANCING OF THOSE LONG TERM NEEDS, PLUS THE POP OUT POP UP NEEDS AND THEN A LACK OF LARGER LARGE PARCEL OF LAND. OKAY, SO FIVE YEAR RECOMMENDATIONS, THE EQUIPMENT, NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY FOR US HERE WILL CONTINUE REPLACING. WE'D LIKE TO CONTINUE REPLACING OUR OLDER PLAYGROUNDS. THE NEXT ONE UP IS CREEKSIDE SOUTH. WE HAVE ONE MORE FORD TRANSIT WE'D LIKE TO GET. ONCE WE GET THAT ONE, WE CAN RETIRE THE FINAL BUS. WE HAD TWO BUSSES. WE'VE RETIRED ONE. WE'RE READY TO RETIRE THE OTHER ONE. THIS WILL ALLOW US TO DO THAT. THIS WOULD ALSO HAVE BE FITTED WITH A WHEELCHAIR LIFT. THE SOUTH BROOK PARK PLAYGROUND IS UP FOR REPLACEMENT AND THEN WE HAVE A THREE QUARTER TON TRUCK ENFIELD MACHINE. THE WE HAVE ONE ZERO TURN MOWER THAT'S UP DUMP TRAILER, AND WE HAVE A COMMERCIAL REFRIGERATOR FREEZER AT COMMUNITY PARK CENTER THAT IS USED BY THE GUESTS. THAT HAS FIZZLED OUT ON US, AND WE NEED TO GET THAT REPLACED. FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR FOR 27. ANOTHER THREE QUARTER TON. SORRY, TWO THREE QUARTER TONS ARE UP FOR REPLACEMENT. JUST I KNOW THIS COMES UP EVERY YEAR TOO. THERE'S AN ASSESSMENT THAT ALL OF THE VEHICLES GO THROUGH, AND THESE HAVE POPPED UP ON THE LIST. AND THE THERE'S A NEW SKID STEER THAT WE NEED TO GET. AND AGAIN, JUST TWO MOWERS. SO THESE LISTS ARE GOING TO BE THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER. A LOT OF ZERO TURN MOWERS AND TRUCKS. OKAY. SO FOR PROJECTS I HAVE WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SHOW YOU HERE WITH THIS LIST. BUT THEN I HAVE ANOTHER LIST AT THE END THAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT. SO KIND OF KEEP THAT IN MIND. IF YOU'RE THINKING LIKE THIS IS IT, THIS IS ALL THAT YOU HAVE. SO FOR ME, BECAUSE WE JUST COMPLETED A LOT OF PROJECTS, WE HAVE SPENT THAT DOWN SOME. SO FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS, WHAT I'M SEEING IS GOING PRETTY EASY ON THAT. ON THE FOUR BE FUND BALANCE, I WOULD LIKE TO GET THE TRAIL MASTER PLAN UPDATED. THE LAST TIME WE DID THAT WAS IN 2012, SO WE'RE WAY OVERDUE FOR THAT ONE. THAT ONE SHOULD NOT GO TYPICALLY PAST TEN YEARS FOR AN UPDATE, AND THEN PLANS AND CONSTRUCTION FOR LIGHTS AT PIRATE COVE AND THEN THE FOLLOWING YEAR, PLANS AND CONSTRUCTION FOR FENCE AT PIRATE COVE. AND THEN I KIND OF PAUSED THERE BECAUSE OUR DEPARTMENT THE LIST COULD GO ON AND ON FOREVER.

BASED ON THE RESIDENTS NEEDS. SO BEYOND THAT, IT'LL KIND OF DEPEND LIKE WHAT'S REALLY NEEDING ATTENTION NEXT AT THAT POINT? AND THEN WHAT FUNDS DO WE HAVE AVAILABLE? AND THEN THE FINAL LIST AND I APOLOGIZE. I DID NOT REALIZE COUNCILMAN PICKENS HAD POINTED OUT TO ME THAT THE THING COVERED UP, UP IN THE TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER. I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. I DID NOT

[01:25:06]

BUT ONE OF THE OPTIONS WE MAY CONSIDER IS ISSUING A4B BOND, WHICH THE CURRENT PAYMENTS ROLL OFF THIS YEAR, AND WE COULD POTENTIALLY LOOK AT DOING THIS AT THE END OF THIS YEAR.

COUNCILMAN OR MAYOR PRO TEM. THANK YOU. MAYOR. WILL THE FIELD RENOVATION COMMUNITY PARK INCLUDE THE PRACTICE FIELDS? I GUESS BEING UPGRADED AND BROUGHT UP TO COME TALK ABOUT THE DETAILS. MAIN FIELDS, I GUESS FOR COMMUNITY. COMMUNITY SPECIFICALLY. I'M GOING TO LET BRANT HIT ON SOME OF THE DETAILS. YES, SIR. SO THIS ONE IS GOING TO BE FOR JUST TWO OF THE MULTI-PURPOSE FIELDS OVER AT COMMUNITY FIELDS THREE AND FOUR. WE'RE LOOKING TO TURN THAT INTO A MINI FOUR PLEX FOR T-BALL COACH PITCH SOME OF THE YOUNGER AGE GROUPS FOR BASEBALL. AND THEN THE OTHER SECTION IS GOING TO BE FOR FOUNDERS FOR SOFTBALL, C AND D, TURNING THOSE INTO THE SAME SIDE FOR SAME SIZE AS SOFTBALL FIELDS. A AND B, IS THAT ANSWER THAT QUESTION, OR YES, IT DOES FOR FIELD THREE AND FOUR AND COMMUNITY. BUT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT, I BELIEVE, LAST TIME WHEN YOU GUYS PRESENTED AND I HAD BROUGHT UP THE FIELDS, THE PARKING LOT FIELDS ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR. BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE THERE'S PRACTICE FIELDS OR FIELDS THAT ARE JUST BEING USED BY DIFFERENT FOLKS THAT WANT TO DO IT. I HAD SUGGESTED THAT WE LOOK INTO BRINGING THOSE FIELDS INTO BEING A FULL TIME FIELDS THAT CAN BE USED FOR PLAY GAMES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SOME OF THE GAMES FOR SEVEN EIGHT YEAR OLDS ARE STARTING AT 8:00. BY THE TIME WE GET OUT OF THERE, WE'RE GETTING OUT OF THERE AT 10 P.M. SO I BELIEVE THAT IT'S A GOOD USAGE OF FUNDS. IF WE CAN TURN THOSE FIELDS IN COMMUNITY PARK, SPECIFICALLY ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STREET, PARKING, WHATEVER YOU GUYS WANT TO SAY. CURRENTLY, I THINK THEY USE SOME SOCCER FIELDS, SOME BASEBALL PRACTICES AND WHATNOT, SO I BELIEVE IT WOULD BE A GOOD USE OF THOSE FIELDS IF WE CAN TURN THEM INTO FIELDS. AND PREFERABLY AND OBVIOUSLY THE COST IS ITSELF, WE CAN DO TURF. IT WOULD EVEN BE BETTER BEING THAT SOME OF THE GAMES WOULD NOT BE CANCELED. OKAY. YEAH. SO WE'RE SO WE'RE TALKING ALL FOUR OF THE FIELDS. YES. OKAY. YEAH. ABSOLUTELY. WE CAN LOOK INTO THAT. COUNCILMAN PICKENS HIGH, MY SON PLAYED ON THOSE FIELDS WHEN HE FIRST STARTED. AND ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WE HAD WAS IF IT SPRINKLED, THE GAMES WERE CANCELED BECAUSE THEY FLOODED.

SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO SPEND THE MONEY TO PUT THESE NEW FIELDS DOWN HERE, THAT THEY ARE ABOVE GRADE AND THAT WATER IS ABLE TO DRAIN OFF OF THEM IN A REASONABLE TIME TO ALLOW GAMES TO HAPPEN AFTER A MODERATE RAINFALL, BECAUSE BEFORE THEY WOULD BE FLOODED OUT FOR A WEEK WITH JUST A MODERATE RAINFALL. YES, SIR. AND THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING WITH A LOT OF OUR RENOVATIONS THAT WE'RE DOING NOW. WE'RE ADDING A COUPLE OF INCHES OF NEW TOPSOIL. AND ON TOP OF THAT, WE'RE ADDING ANOTHER TWO INCHES OF SAND. THEY'RE ALL BEING LASER GRADED AND THEY'RE ALL DRAINAGE WORK IS HAPPENING WITH ALL OF THAT. SO GLAD TO HEAR IT. WE'VE HAD GOOD SUCCESS WITH THE ONES THAT WE'VE ALREADY DONE AT FOUNDERS. AND THEN HOPEFULLY WE'LL SEE WITH THE NEW ONES THAT WE'RE DOING AT FOUNDERS. YOU KNOW WHAT? WE SHOULD GET THE SAME RESULT. SO THE FIELDS THAT ARE EXISTING NOW, WHEN YOU BUILD THE NEW ONES, WHAT HAPPENS TO THAT AREA UP THERE ON THE TOP OF THE HILL? WE'RE AT WE'RE TALKING AT FOUNDERS PARK, THE T BALL.

OH, THE BALL FIELDS. SO THOSE WILL PROBABLY STILL STAY T BALL FIELDS. I SEE THOSE PROBABLY MOVING MORE INTO PRACTICE FIELDS. NOT SO MUCH GAME. THAT IS ANOTHER AREA IN THE FUTURE WE WOULD LIKE TO TARGET. THE STRUGGLE WITH THAT AREA RIGHT NOW IS THERE'S NO IRRIGATION.

THERE'S ALSO NO LIGHTING. YES, THE THOUGHT OF MOVING T BALL AND COACH PITCH TO, I GUESS I WOULD SAY THE EAST SIDE OF COMMUNITY IS WE DO HAVE IRRIGATION AND WE DO HAVE LIGHTING, SO WE HAVE TO MOVE SOME OF THAT AROUND. BUT IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE CHEAPER TO WORK WITH THAT SIDE THAN IT IS WITH THAT TOP SIDE THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. SO I WAS OUT THERE LAST WEEK AND

[01:30:04]

YEAH, I MEAN ABSOLUTELY. LIKE I SAID, THE BIGGEST ISSUE WITH THOSE T-BALL FIELDS IS THE FACT THAT WE HAVE NO IRRIGATION THERE. I MEAN, THAT IS SOMETHING ABSOLUTELY. IF WE DON'T MOVE FORWARD WITH THE EAST SIDE, WE CAN DEFINITELY LOOK AT RENOVATING THAT SIDE, ADDING IRRIGATION, LASER GRADING THOSE FIELDS. I MEAN, THEY WOULD BASICALLY NEED THE SAME TYPE OF WORK THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT WE NEED FOR THE FIELDS ON THE EAST SIDE OF COMMUNITY. SO.

YES, MAYOR PRO TEM MAYOR, I'D JUST ADD I'LL ADD ONE THING BY ADDING THOSE FIELDS ON THE EAST SIDE, I GUESS THE COMMUNITY PARK, AND IF POTENTIALLY WE COULD TURN THEM INTO SOME SORT OF A TURF. GOOD IRRIGATION, NOT CANCELING AFTER OUR WILEY FIELDS OR WILEY SPORTS SEASONS ARE OVER. POTENTIALLY THERE COULD BE INCOME COMING IN FROM DIFFERENT SPORTING ACTIVITIES THAT HAPPEN DURING ALL THE SUMMER. JUST LIKE COUNCILMAN PICKENS GOING WITH MY SON EVERYWHERE IN DFW AND EVERYWHERE ELSE, IT HAS TURNED INTO A. CONCESSION STAND AND MONEY MAKING MACHINE IN TERMS OF SOME OF THE FIELDS THAT THE AMOUNT OF MONEY. NOW I GET IT. THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION FOR TONIGHT TO DECIDE, BUT POTENTIALLY THERE COULD BE AN INCOME THAT COULD PAY FOR SOME OF THE BONDS IF WE WERE TO INVEST A LITTLE BIT LONGER AND I GET THE INVESTMENT PART OF IT.

BUT JUST THE THOUGHT PROCESS. YEAH. GO AHEAD. OKAY. WE'RE CURRENTLY NOT SET UP TO DO THAT.

WE DON'T HAVE THE STAFFING. WE DON'T HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE, WE DON'T HAVE THE PARKING. SO IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT COUNCIL DESIRES, THEN THAT'S GOING TO BE A CONSIDERABLE INVESTMENT TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. SO IT'S JUST SOMETHING TO CONSIDER MOVING FORWARD WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THIS BECAUSE WE'RE NOT, YOU KNOW, CURRENTLY THE CITY, THE CITY STAFF DOES NOT RUN THE LEAGUES.

WE MAINTAIN THE FIELDS. WE DON'T RUN THE CONCESSION STAND. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO GO THAT ROUTE, THAT IT WOULD TAKE A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF. SO A COUPLE COUPLE OF THINGS WITH THAT RIGHT STRUCTURE. TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT $2 MILLION POTENTIALLY TO BE INVESTED IN RENOVATION OF THE FIELDS AND WHATNOT. IF WE'RE THINKING TEN, 15, 20 YEARS FROM NOW AND I GET IT, WE'RE NOT THERE. WE'RE HAVING A DISCUSSION ON A 5 TO 10 YEAR PLAN HERE TONIGHT, AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX, THAT IF IT MAKES FINANCIAL SENS. ON BRINGING THESE FIELDS UP TO SPEED IN NEXT TWO, THREE, FOUR YEARS AND POTENTIALLY SEEING WHAT THE COST VERSUS WHAT SOME OF THE THINGS, MOST OF THESE FIELDS ARE MAINTAINED BY THE CITIES, THE LEAGUES AND THE CONCESSION STANDS ARE NOT RUN BY THE CITIES OR RUN BY PRIVATE ENTITIES THAT ARE SUBCONTRACTING THROUGH THE CITY OR WHATNOT. SO I'M FULLY AWARE IN TERMS OF THE STAFFING AND WHERE WE ARE AND WHAT CAN WE DO CURRENTLY. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THAT IN CONSIDERATION, OKAY. I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN KNOWING SORRY, I DON'T KNOWING WHAT THE COST WOULD BE. SO YEAH, THERE WOULD BE EXTRA COSTS. BUT I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THAT BOTTOM LINE IS AND THEN COMPARE THAT TO THE REVENUE THAT WE COULD POTENTIALLY SEE. AND IF IT'S A BENEFIT TO THE CITY FOR US TO DO THAT, ABSOLUTELY. WE CAN LOOK INTO THAT. YEAH. WE CAN LOOK INTO ANYTHING. GET A COST.

Y'ALL JUST HAVE TO PRIORITIZE WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE BECAUSE WE I MEAN, YOU SEE $11.6 MILLION OF PROJECTS UP HERE ON THE SCREEN, AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PRIORITIZE HOW YOU WANT TO SPEND THAT MONEY MOVING FORWARD. OKAY. ALSO ON THE LIST WOULD BE ADDRESSING SOME THINGS AT FOUNDER'S PARK, INCLUDING A FOOTBALL CONCESSION AREA. THIS WOULD ALL BE ON THAT SOUTH CORNER, RESTROOMS AND ADDITIONAL PARKING THERE, AND PAVILIONS FOR FOUNDER'S AND PIRATE, SORRY,

[01:35:07]

AND I WILL POINT OUT THAT THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE ANYTHING. IF WE REACH AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS FOR THE LAKE PARKS TRANSFERRING TO THE CITY, THAT DOESN'T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE COST THAT WOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH, I'LL CALL IT EVEN JUST THE BASICS OF GETTING GETTING THAT UP TO A LEVEL WHERE I THINK WE WANT TO INVITE PEOPLE OUT THERE. YEAH, I THINK OUR THAT LAST LOOK THAT WE DID SEVERAL YEARS AGO WAS ESTIMATE WAS RIGHT AROUND 20 MILLION JUST FOR EAST FORK. AND THAT WAS HITTING THE MAJORITY OF THAT WAS GOING TO BE INFRASTRUCTURE. AND I THINK WE COULD MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS. BUT THAT'S FOR THAT'S FOR ANOTHER EVENING, I THINK I THINK THERE WERE PHASES AND SOME THINGS THAT MAYBE WE DIDN'T NECESSARILY NEED, JUST TO GIVE YOU KIND OF AN IDEA, BUT YES. AND THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT IT UP. YEAH. JUST THAT THERE'S A LOT OF POTENTIAL PROJECTS THAT ARE OUT THERE, PLUS A LARGE ONE THAT COULD COULD, IF THAT GOES THROUGH, FIND THEMSELVES OR FIND ITSELF WITH US. COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS THANK YOU. MAYOR. I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG ON THE FOUR B BOND TAX WOULDN'T GO UP BECAUSE THOSE ARE ESSENTIALLY, YOU KNOW, FUTURE SALES TAX DOLLARS THAT ARE GOING TO BE ANYWAY. WE WOULD JUST GET TO HAVE THE BENEFIT OF HAVING THOSE PROJECTS START NOW VERSUS WAITING. YES. CORRECT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING. YES. GREAT POINT. THAT IS MY LAST SLIDE. SO MAYOR PRO TEM MAYOR, I DON'T HAVE A COMMENT. I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. YOU AND YOUR TEAM HAVE DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB ON THANK YOU. GETTING THE RECREATION CENTER FIRST AND FOREMOST UP AND RUNNING. AND TO HAVE IT TO A POINT WHERE 35% OF WILEY IS DOING SOMETHING WITHIN YOUR DEPARTMENT AND WHAT THE RECREATION CENTER IS, IT'S INCREDIBLE. THANK YOU. I KNOW BRANT GAVE US A LAST YEAR'S MEMORIAL DAY, BUT WE HAVE THE SPLASH PADS OPEN AND PEOPLE ARE USING IT, SO WE'RE IN GOOD SHAPE. BUT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB. THANK YOU. THANK YOU TO YOU AND ALL YOUR STAFF AND WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU TOOK, INCLUDING WITH BRENT'S LEADERSHIP AND EVERYBODY ELSE FROM A RECREATION STANDPOINT, TO SEE WHERE THE REC CENTER IS TODAY. IT'S REMARKABLE. SO I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HARD WORK THAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU

[WS2. Discuss a boundary adjustment between the City of Wylie and the City of Lucas.]

MISS OLLIE. AND I KNOW IT HAS CHIEF BLYTHE LISTED AS WELL. YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. YES.

CHIEF BLYTHE IS COMING. I'M JUST REALLY HERE. I CAN TALK TO YOU ALL DAY LONG ABOUT HOW MANY ACRES WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AND HOW MANY SINGLE FAMILY LOTS AND OPEN SPACE. BUT, CHIEF BLYTHE, I HAVE TO GIVE YOU ALL THE REASONS BEHIND THAT. WHY WE'RE HERE. BUT. SO AT YOUR LAST MEETING, YOU APPROVED THE RESOLUTION TO INCLUDE OUR ETJ IN THE. WHAT IS IT? EMERGENCY SERVICES DISTRICT, THE ESD. SO WITH THAT, WE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH THE CITY OF LUCAS TO INCLUDE THEIR ETJ, WHICH IS ALL OF INSPIRATION. WELL, THEY'RE PART OF INSPIRATION. AND CURRENTLY FIRE DOES COVER ALL OF INSPIRATION. SO THE THOUGHT IS, RATHER THAN HAVING LUCAS WILEY AND SAINT

[01:40:07]

HOWEVER, INSPIRATION WILL BE WILL BE CONTAINED WITHIN THE ESD. THEY WILL THEY WILL BE PART OF THE ESD. AND SO WHAT IS ESSENTIALLY IS GOING TO DO IS MAKE THE RESIDENTS IN THERE, OR THE LOTS THAT ARE IN OUR ETJ PAY A DIFFERENT AMOUNT THAN THE SAINT PAUL OR LUCAS ETJ. AND SO BY BRINGING IT ALL UNDER UNDER WILEY'S ETJ, IT ELIMINATES THAT THAT DIFFERENCE. IT WOULD BE REALLY, REALLY NICE IF WE COULD GET EVERYBODY IN. BUT IF SAINT PAUL'S NOT INTERESTED, WE UNDERSTAND. BUT ESSENTIALLY WE'RE JUST TRYING TO WORK THROUGH THAT SO THAT WE CAN.

REALLY FOR SIMPLIFICATION OF THE CONTRACTS. SO WITH THAT, I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

OKAY. COUNCILMAN STRING, THANK YOU. MAYOR. I THINK THIS IS ACTUALLY A REALLY NICE IDEA. I THINK IT SOLVES EXACTLY THE THINGS THAT YOU'RE OUTLINING. AND IT DOES MAKE SENSE. YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW, INSPIRATION. IT'S A BIG, SPRAWLING PLACE AND IT'S UNDER THREE DIFFERENT SOUNDS KIND OF WEIRD FOR SUCH A HOMOGENOUS DEVELOPMENT TO HAVE THAT. SO I THINK THIS MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. I KNOW SAINT PAUL'S NOT PART OF THIS RIGHT NOW, BUT I'D BE INTERESTED IN THE SAME IN THE FUTURE. SO I DO SUPPORT THIS. THANK YOU. OKAY, COUNCILMAN DUKE, I JUST WANT TO SAY I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA AND I DO SUPPORT IT. OKAY. WELL, IN IN ALL TRANSPARENCY, AS I ALWAYS WILL TELL PEOPLE, I DID HEAR FROM THE MAYOR OF LUCAS ABOUT THIS WHEN THEY FIRST STARTED LOOKING AT IT. AND I WOULD AGREE FROM THE STANDPOINT OF THE FACT THAT WE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE PROVIDING FIRE COVERAGE, ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO SIMPLIFY THINGS FROM THE STANDPOINT OF, AGAIN, SO MANY DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS, SO MANY DIFFERENT CONTRACTS, REASSIGNMENTS, ETCETERA, I THINK IT MAKES SENSE. I THINK IT WOULD MAKE IT EASIER AS WELL. ON THEIR UTILITY DISTRICT SLASH HOA, WHEN THEY ARE DEALING WITH ALL OF THESE CONTRACT ISSUES. AGAIN, WE CAN'T FORCE SOMEONE ELSE TO PARTICIPATE. BUT PERHAPS DOWN THE ROAD, SAINT PAUL MIGHT SEE THAT IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL AS WELL. BUT FOR THE TIME BEING, IT'S STILL CONSOLIDATES A VERY LARGE PIECE ALONG WITH OURS. SO I WOULD SUPPORT DOING IT. I DON'T IT'S NOT GOING TO COST THE CITY ANYTHING, SO TO SPEAK. AND SO FROM THAT STANDPOINT, I THINK IT MAKES SENSE. IF PEOPLE DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE HAPPY TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS ON IT AS WELL. COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS, SHE'S GOING TO WEIGH IN. THANK YOU MAYOR. THANK YOU. CHIEF. I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA. I THINK IT LOOKS LIKE IT MAKES SENSE. SO I'M ON BOARD. THANK YOU. OKAY, I'LL GO TO COUNCILMAN HOOVER. I AM CERTAINLY ON BOARD WITH IT. COUNCILMAN PICKENS. WELL, COUNCILMAN, MAYOR PRO TEM.

ALRIGHT, COUNCILMAN, I'M IN FAVOR. AND MAYOR PRO TEM, YOU HAVE TO. THERE YOU GO. GOOD TO GO. ALL RIGHT, SO THERE YOU GO. IF YOU'LL MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT. AND WE'LL LOOK FOR THE ORDINANCE IN THE FUTURE. ALL RIGHT. THAT COMPLETES WORK SESSION TWO. WE ARE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE A QUICK BREAK FOR EVERYONE UP HERE. IF YOU COULDN'T HEAR I'VE GOT A TICKLE IN THE THROAT. I'M GOING TO GET SOMETHING TO DRINK AND GIVE MY COLLEAGUES AS WELL, A CHANCE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK. WE'LL BE BACK IN JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND WE'LL MOVE RIGHT INTO

[WS3. Discuss the Stormwater Utility Fee Evaluation Study.]

[01:45:03]

SO AS WE LOOKED AT ALL THE PROPERTIES IN TOWN OR ACROSS THE CITY, WE HAVE JUST UNDER 17,000 RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES, AND WE HAVE ROUGHLY 639 NONRESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES. BUT IF YOU LOOK UP ON WHAT KIND OF SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT THOSE TWO DIFFERENT RESIDENTIAL VERSUS NONRESIDENTIAL, WHAT THEY MAKE UP. WE 62 MILLION FOR RESIDENTIAL, 62,000,000 SQUARE FOOT FOR RESIDENTIAL, 36 MILLION FOR NONRESIDENTIAL. SO JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT WE'VE OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, WHAT WE'VE ACTUALLY BEEN SPENDING OUR OPERATING. WE HAVE YOU KNOW, WE STARTED WE STARTED LOOKING BACK IN FY 2122, WE HAD AN OPERATING BUDGET OF $180,000. WE DID DO A SPECIAL PROJECT, WHICH WAS. REPLACE A FAILING STORM DRAIN, SOME PIPING. IT'S A 36 INCH CULVERT PIPING. WE REPLACED 200FT OF THAT. THAT WAS $190,000 BACK THEN. SO AS WE GET INTO, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT SOME OF OUR AGING INFRASTRUCTURE, YOU KNOW, REPAIR COSTS ARE GOING UP. YOU KNOW, WE YOU KNOW, AGAIN, WE WANT TO BE MORE PROACTIVE VERSUS REACTIVE. SO LUCKILY, YOU KNOW,

[01:50:03]

STORMWATER? WE DO HAVE FIVE FULL TIME STAFF POSITIONS. THE CITY DOES OPERATE A PHASE TWO MS4 STORMWATER QUALITY COMPLIANCE WITH T-C-E-Q. YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, RIGHT NOW, OUR MAINTENANCE, WE ARE REACTIVE. WE'RE NOT PROACTIVE AT ALL. YOU KNOW, OUR STAFFING THAT WE DO AND WE DO WHAT THEY CALL IT, THEY CALL IT SWIPE INSPECTIONS. SO WE GO AROUND CONSTRUCTION SITES, LOOK AT LOOK AT ALL EVERYTHING THAT'S PUT IN PLACE FOR TO STOP THE SILT GETTING INTO, GETTING INTO OUR STORM DRAINS. YOU KNOW, WE DO OUR SPECIAL PROJECTS WHEN, WHEN THEY ARISE AND THEN WE DO OUR ANNUAL STREET SWEEPING. SOMETHING NEW FOR THIS YEAR THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS WE ARE STREET SWEEPING THE ENTIRE CITY. PREVIOUSLY, WE'VE PICKED OUT SOME MAJOR THOROUGHFARES, AND WE'VE ONLY DONE PIECES OF THE CITY. THIS YEAR WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING THE ENTIRE CITY. AND WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO IS START DOING THAT TWICE A YEAR. SO AS WE SEE AS WE AS WE GO INTO THE FUTURE FY 26, YOU KNOW, STREET SWEEPING AGAIN, YOU KNOW, WE $75,000 A YEAR TO SWEEP THE STREETS TWICE. ONCE IN THE SPRING, ONCE IN THE FALL. BUT AS AS TIME GOES ON, THOSE THOSE COSTS DO GO UP, YOU KNOW, AND AS WE SEE IS. OUR STORMWATER COSTS ARE GOING TO RISE. DOING A STORMWATER FEE THAT COULD HELP OFFSET SOME OF THOSE COSTS. SO AS WE AS WE HAVE FREESE AND NICHOLS IN HERE DRIVING AROUND THE CITY, YOU KNOW, WE IDENTIFIED 40 KNOWN PROBLEM AREAS. THIS SLIDE DOES SAY 50 PLUS MILLION DOLLARS. I STOOD IN FRONT OF YOU TWO WEEKS AGO OR THREE WEEKS AGO FOR THE LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING. THAT NUMBER IS ACTUALLY $67.5 MILLION. SO WE'VE IDENTIFIED THESE PROJECTS AND SOME POTENTIAL WORST CASE SCENARIO OF WHAT THEY COULD COST. SO AS WE GET INTO OUR THE RATES, THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT KIND OF MECHANISMS TO FIGURE OUT THE RATES, WHETHER WE DO A FLAT RATE, WHICH EVERYTHING'S DONE BY AN EQUIVALENT RESIDENTIAL UNIT. SO WHAT WE'VE COME TO FIND OUT AT 3500FT■!S IS, IS THE NORM THAT THAT PEOPLE ARE USING AS AN ER YOU DIFFERENT CITIES. SO OUR WE CAN EITHER DO A TIERED RATE FOR RESIDENTIAL OR YOU CAN DO A FLAT RATE. MOST OF OUR COMPARATIVE CITIES ARE DOING THE FLAT RATE FOR RESIDENTIAL. SO I HAVE A QUESTION ON THAT. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE FLAT RATE OR THE TIERED I'M SORRY, IT HAS SMALL, MEDIUM AND LARGE. IS THAT BASED ON THE PERCENT COVERAGE, IS THAT BASED ON THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOT FOOTAGE OF IMPERVIOUS AREA? I'M SORRY.

YES, THAT'S A IMPERVIOUS AREA OVER THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY. SO IT'S THE IT WOULD BE A ROOF, A DRIVEWAY. ANY CONCRETE THAT THEY HAVE ON THEIR PROPERTY THAT WOULD BE ALL TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT.

AND WHERE DOES THAT COME FROM? THAT COMES FROM WE GET THAT INFORMATION THROUGH OUR GIS SYSTEM. OKAY. BECAUSE FOR INSTANCE, I KNOW OF HOMES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHO HAVE CONCRETE ON THEIR ENTIRE BACKYARD, FENCE TO FENCE. THEY HAVE CONCRETED THE ENTIRE THING. OBVIOUSLY, THEIR IMPERVIOUS SURFACE AREA IS MUCH DIFFERENT FROM THE HOMES ON THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT OF THEM.

SO IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU GUYS CATCH IN THAT KIND OF INSTANCE? SO THE INITIAL ASSESSMENT WOULD BE THAT WE WOULD WE GO AROUND, WE GO THROUGH OUR GIS. WE HAVE CAPTURED OUR INITIAL ASSESSMENT AND PERIODICALLY WE WOULD HAVE TO UPDATE THAT. OKAY. BUT THAT ASSESSMENT WOULD CATCH THAT THAT SOMEBODY HAS CONCRETED THEIR BACKYARD. YEAH. OKAY. I JUST MY NEIGHBORHOOD IS GETTING OLDER. YOU KNOW, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD I KNOW OF PEOPLE I KNOW ONE STREET IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAS TWO HOMES WITH CONCRETE BACKYARDS, ANOTHER THAT HAS ADDED CONCRETE TO PARK THEIR TRAILER IN THEIR BACK AFTER THEY'VE GOTTEN HOA VARIANCES. AND NOW I CAN'T SPEAK TO WHETHER THEY HAVE GOTTEN PERMITS OR NOT, BUT IT IS A FACT THAT THEY HAVE THAT CONCRETE, AND I'M ASSUMING THAT THAT'S GOING TO AFFECT THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS FROM AN IMPERVIOUS

[01:55:05]

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO ON THE RIGHT? IF WE WOULD GO, IF WE WOULD GO WITH A TIERED RATE, IT WOULD BE NO DIFFERENCE, BECAUSE IT'S NO DIFFERENCE. THERE WOULD STILL BE THAT IMPERVIOUS, SAME IMPERVIOUS AREA, BUT THERE'S MORE GRASS AROUND THAT HOUSE. SO HE'S SAYING INSTEAD OF PERCENTAGE, THEY JUST LOOK AT HOW MUCH, HOW MUCH, WHAT SQUARE FOOTAGE HAVE YOU BLOCKED FROM BEING ABLE TO ABSORB WATER. SO IF 5000 IS THE SMALL AND TEN IS THE MIDDLE AND 15 IS LARGE, AND I DON'T KNOW THE NUMBERS, THEY'RE SAYING THAT NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU HAVE, IT COMES DOWN TO HOW MUCH YOU HAVE ESSENTIALLY BLOCKED FROM BEING ABLE TO ABSORB WATER. OKAY. GOT IT. THANK YOU. THAT THAT YEAH, THAT THAT WAS MY KIND OF QUESTION THERE TOO. SO AS WE GET INTO THE NONRESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES, THOSE AGAIN THOSE ARE ALL DONE BY ERAS. BUT THEY'RE ALL, YOU KNOW, IF WE IF WE GO BY THAT 3500 SQUARE FOOT AS, AS A NUMBER FOR OUR ERA. IT WOULD JUST BE MULTIPLIED BY HOW MANY TIMES, HOW MANY ERAS THEY HAVE ON THEIR PROPERTY AND WHAT THEY WOULD BE CHARGED AT THAT $5, YOU KNOW, LET'S SAY $5 PER ER, YOU. YES. SORRY. THAT INCLUDES THE PARKING LOT OF WHATEVER STRUCTURE IS. YEP. OKAY. SO AS WE STARTED LOOKING AT EVERYTHING WE LOOKED AT AGAIN, IT WOULD BE OUR RECOMMENDATION TO DO JUST A, A FLAT RATE FOR RESIDENTIAL. SO IT WOULD BE $5 IF BASED ON THAT $5 PER PER MONTH. YOU KNOW, TO GENERATE 1.5 TO $1.7 MILLION ANNUALLY. WE COULD WE COULD FUND 250 TO $290,000 ANNUALLY FOR OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE. IT WOULD FUND THAT STORMWATER MASTER PLAN. AND WE COULD LOOK AT AS WE GO INTO FY 27 THROUGH 30, WE CAN CASH FUND 1.3 TO 1.4 YEARLY FOR PROJECTS. SO THE FUNDS YOU'RE LISTING THERE, THE FUNDS THAT ARE ANNUALLY FOR THE OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE, IS THAT TO GROW THE TEAM THAT WE HAVE OR IS THAT TO TAKE OVER THE COST OF THAT TEAM, SO TO SPEAK.

SO OUR WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO REALLY LOOK AT IS MORE TOWARDS NOT USE THAT MONEY FOR THE TEAM.

IT'S MORE FOR PROJECTS. RIGHT. IT'S LISTED AS OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE. SO MAINTENANCE OF THE MAINTENANCE OF THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM OKAY. SO THAT'S SO IT COULD BE IT COULD BE SOME OF THOSE LIKE WE DID THAT BACK IN FY 21. WE DID THAT $190,000 SMALL PROJECT. SO THAT WOULD FUND THAT PROJECT. SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT USING IT TO FUND SMALL PROJECTS SMALL SAVING UP THE REST TO FUND THE LARGE SCALE PROJECTS. IS THAT A FAIR STATEMENT? YES. OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO UNDERSTAND MAYOR PRO TEM. YEAH, JUST ON THE SAME LINE. BUT YOU WILL NEED MORE STAFF TO HANDLE THIS SPECIFIC PROJECTS BY ITSELF. IS THAT CORRECT? THE CURRENT STAFF THAT YOU HAVE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HANDLE. IF WE APPROVE, THIS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HANDLE ALL THE PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING TO COME ON TOP OF FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE PROJECTS. YES. THAT'S CORRECT. SO THE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS, THEN IT'S NOT GOING TO BE 250 TO 290. IT WILL BE PLUS WHATEVER THE OPERATION PART ON TOP OF THAT IS THAT CORRECT? YES. THANK YOU. SO THROUGH THIS PLAN WE. WE WOULD THERE'S POTENTIAL EXEMPTIONS WITH NO NO STORMWATER FEE APPLIED TO THE

[02:00:09]

YEP. SO WHAT'S LISTED UNDER EXEMPTIONS. YOU KNOW BY THE STATE LAW THAT TOMMY MENTIONED CHURCHES CITY, COUNTY AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS, YOU HAVE THE POLICY OPTION TO EXEMPT. SO THERE ARE CERTAIN TYPES THAT YOU DON'T HAVE AN OPTION TO EXEMPT, BUT THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT YOU HAVE BY POLICY CHOICE AVAILABLE TO EXEMPT OKAY. SO IT IS. SO IT'S OPTIONAL. IT'S OPTIONAL. YEAH.

AND IS THAT SOMETHING. DO WE HAVE DATA ON WHAT THE I MEAN OBVIOUSLY FROM THE MAP, THE MAJORITY OF CITIES IN NORTH TEXAS HAVE THESE IN PLACE. DO WE HAVE DATA ON THAT ON WHAT EXEMPTIONS THEY TYPICALLY PUT IN. YEAH. SO IT'S ABOUT 5050 ON CHURCHES AND CITY AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS GENERALLY KIND OF IN THAT, YOU KNOW, 40 TO 60% OVERALL. SOME DO SOME DON'T.

SOME DON'T EXEMPT ANYTHING, SOME EXEMPT EVERYTHING. BUT IT'S THERE'S REALLY A MIX JUST BY POLICY CHOICE OKAY. DO WE HAVE DATA ON OUR NEIGHBORING CITIES? I SAW SAXY HAS THIS FEE. I SAW ROWLETT HAS THIS FEE. AND SOME OF THE CITIES THAT WE HAVE SEEN. ROWLETT. MURPHY. YEAH. DO WE HAVE DATA ON IF THEY HAVE THOSE EXEMPT OR NOT. YEAH. I DON'T I DON'T HAVE THAT DATA. NO PROBLEM. WHAT ABOUT WATER DISTRICTS? IT'S A FAIR QUESTION. THEY HAVE A HUGE AMOUNT OF IMPERVIOUS SURFACE. AND THEIR, I BELIEVE ONE OF THE LARGEST LAND OWNERS IN THE CITY. YEAH. YEAH.

SO THEY WOULD COUNT AS A POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF THE STATE AND THEY'RE REQUIRED TO BE EXEMPT. SO I, I ASSUMED BUT I WANTED TO ASK. YEAH. YEAH. I'D LIKE TO SAY YEAH. LIKE RAILROADS, I'M SURE. COUNCILMAN DUKE, OUR RAILROADS PART OF THAT EXEMPTION. NOT NOT SPECIFICALLY.

OKAY. THANK YOU. SO THAT THAT GIANT PARKING LOT WOULD BE CONSIDERED AN IMPERVIOUS SURFACE. YEAH. AND THEY'RE NOT EXEMPT. OKAY. GOOD QUESTION. YEAH. ALL RIGHT, WELL, I KNOW YOU. I KNOW YOU'LL GET SOME DIRECTION LATER, BUT I WANT TO GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT ALL THE DIFFERENT STRUCTURES AND THEN LET COUNCIL WEIGH IN AT THAT POINT. SO AND I SEE I'LL LET YOU CONTINUE. I'M SORRY. NO. SO THIS IS, THIS IS JUST A TO SHOW POTENTIALLY WHAT WE COULD FUND IF WE, IF WE WENT TO A TIERED RESIDENTIAL RATE. CIP PROJECTS 1.4 TO 1.6 MILLION A YEAR. AGAIN, WE STILL HAVE THOSE EXEMPTIONS FOR CHURCH, CITY, COUNTY OWNED PROPERTIES.

AND THEN EXEMPTING ISD PROPERTIES COULD POTENTIALLY GIVE UP TO $130,000 ANNUALLY.

OKAY, COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS, THANK YOU. MAYOR. SO, TOMMY, I'M I'M ASSUMING THAT I CAN INFER THAT YOU CAN KIND OF DO ANY COMBINATION YOU WANT TO IN THERE WITH. IT'S ALL WITHIN POLICY CHOICE. SO WE COULD DO RESIDENTIAL ONE WAY AND COMMERCIAL A DIFFERENT WAY IF WE WANTED TO. WE WOULDN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO DO TIERED OR FLAT RATE FOR BOTH SIMULTANEOUSLY. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. SO HOW IT'S REALLY SET UP IS THAT THE RESIDENTIAL COULD BE THAT WHETHER IT BE A FLAT RATE OR IT COULD BE THE TIERED. BUT WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE AS YOUR URRU WOULD BE APPLIED TO ACTUAL FOR SQUARE FOOTAGE, FOR A COMMERCIAL NONRESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. RIGHT. BUT WE COULD WE COULD SET A FLAT RATE FOR RESIDENTIAL AND THEN A TIERED RATE FOR COMMERCIAL. YEP. THANK YOU. WELL. I'M SORRY. I A TIERED RATE. YEAH I BELIEVE A TIERED RATE. WE COULD WRITE IF THAT'S. YEAH. SO WHAT WHAT. YEAH. TOMMY'S GETTING AT IS ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE, I'LL EXPLAIN KIND OF HOW WHY FLAT RATE VERSUS RESIDENTIAL EXISTS, WHY THERE'S VARIATION. IT'S A RELATIVELY NARROW BAND ON COMMERCIAL. IT'S A REALLY WIDE BAND. YOU'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, SMALL, YOU KNOW, SAY, WELL, YOU COULD SAY A WHATABURGER VERSUS A, YOU KNOW, WALMART SUPERCENTER, THE WIDE RANGE THERE. AND SO THAT PER YEAR BASIS. SO IT COULD BE ONE YEAR YOU TEN YEARS 30. RIGHT. AND SO IT'S TRULY TIERED. THERE'S IS

[02:05:01]

THAT'S RIGHT. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ALL TIER OR ALL FLAT RATE. THAT'S RIGHT. RIGHT. JUST CONFIRMING THAT. THANK YOU. AND I WOULD LIKE TO ASK A QUICK QUESTION. IN THE COMPARISON OF THE TWO, OBVIOUSLY THE TIERED RATE STRUCTURE HAS A LITTLE HIGHER REVENUE. BUT THE QUESTION IS WHAT IS THE COST TO MAINTAIN TO FIND THAT OUT AND TO MAINTAIN THOSE RECORDS OVER THAT TYPE? DOES THAT ESSENTIALLY WIPE OUT THE DIFFERENCE IN REVENUE? AND I'M HAPPY I DON'T KNOW. YEAH. WE DIDN'T REALLY WE DIDN'T REALLY EXPLORE THAT TOO TOO DEEPLY. WE WERE KIND OF WE STARTED LOOKING AT. POTENTIALLY WHAT WAS GOING TO BE THE BEST FOR OUR, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE OF LIMITED STAFFING. WE STARTED LOOKING AT POSSIBLY, YOU KNOW, HAVING THAT FLAT RATE FOR THE RESIDENTIAL, KIND OF LIKE WHAT WE HAVE TODAY FOR OUR FOR OUR SEWER RATES, WHERE SEWER RATES ARE BASED OFF OF JUST A FLAT RATE, NOT NOT SO MUCH A BY USAGE. YEAH. WELL, AND THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING BECAUSE I WOULDN'T WANT TO PUT IT IN PLACE IF WE THEN HAVE TO HIRE TWO PEOPLE TO KEEP IT UPDATED AND, AND PAY FOR OUR DATABASE, BECAUSE AT THAT POINT IT'S A, IT'S A VERY SMALL YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT $1.50 LESS THAN $2. EITHER WAY FOR THE CITIZEN. AND YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE NOT GETTING IF WE'RE ADDING ALL THAT WORK IN ANOTHER COMPUTER SYSTEM AND ALL OF THAT, I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS FOR US TO FIND FOLKS WITH GIS EXPERIENCE AND TO UPDATE THOSE SYSTEMS. SO I GUESS I'M ASKING, IS THERE IS THERE TRULY MUCH OF A BENEFIT THERE, OR WOULD IT JUST BE FROM THE STANDPOINT OF THE PROPERTY OWNER, AS OPPOSED TO NOT REALLY MUCH OF A FINANCIAL DIFFERENCE FOR THE CITY? IT'S PRETTY MUCH JUST A PROPERTY OWNER. OKAY. SO THIS SLIDE HERE, IT JUST SHOWS, YOU KNOW, WHETHER WE WENT WITH A TIERED RATE VERSUS A FLAT RATE OF WHAT WE COULD POTENTIALLY GET OUT OF THE DIFFERENT RESIDENCES, WHETHER IT BE A SMALL OR MEDIUM OR A LARGE, LARGE HOME HERE IN THE CITY. AGAIN, NON RESIDENTIAL WOULD BE, WOULD BE BASED ON THOSE AREAS THAT THEY, THAT THEY OF THE SPACE THAT THEY TAKE UP FOR IMPERVIOUS AREA. SO YOU KNOW LIKE YOU SAID, A SMALL WHATABURGER MIGHT BE THREE YEARS, $15 A MONTH VERSUS A BIG WALMART SUPERCENTER, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY BE 45 YEARS. SO THIS HERE, IT JUST IT SHOWS WHAT OUR WHAT OUR NEIGHBORING CITIES AND OUR AREA CITIES, COMPARATIVE CITIES, WHAT THEY ARE CURRENTLY HAVE PUT IN PLACE FOR THEIR STORMWATER FEE. COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS, THANK YOU, MAYOR TOMMY. I THINK I WOULD END UP LIKING TO SEE WITH THIS ALONG THESE SAME LINES OF COMPARING THE NEIGHBORHOOD CITIES WHAT THEIR ACTUAL WATER BILLS ARE LIKE, ALL FEES IN TO SEE, YOU KNOW, COLLECTIVELY WHAT WHAT ARE THOSE TOTALS LOOK LIKE IN TRACK. YOU KNOW, ARE THEY IS IT DIFFERENT MONEY IN DIFFERENT IN DIFFERENT POTS OR IS IT ALL KIND OF THE SAME, IF THAT MAKES SENSE? OR ARE WE ALREADY AT THEIR CAP BEFORE WE ADD OUR FEE, WHICH PUTS US EVEN FURTHER OVER WHERE THEY ARE? SO I THINK ULTIMATELY WHEN YOU COME BACK, I'D LIKE TO SEE OR IF YOU COULD SEND ME POSSIBLY THAT INFORMATION BACK AND FORTH, I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT. OKAY. THANK YOU. WHAT ARE YOU WHAT ARE YOU SPECIFICALLY LIKE? WATER RATES. SEWER RATES? WELL, CORRECT. CORRECT. OUR TOTAL WATER AND SEWER WITH THE NEIGHBORING CITIES THAT WE'RE USING THIS SAME COMPARISON DATA TO LOOK AT, AT IF THEY'RE CHARGING A STORMWATER UTILITY, YOU KNOW, EXTRA. AND THAT'S WHAT THEIR RATES ARE. WELL, WHAT ARE THEIR WATER RATES OR ARE WE ARE WE LOOKING AT THE SAME THE SAME THING. WELL, IT'S THE SAME DATA IF THAT MAKES SENSE. WOULD I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE ASKING.

BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE BECAUSE WATER AND SEWER RATES DON'T PAY FOR THE STORMWATER. AND I GET THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT TO THE HOMEOWNER AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHAT ARE THEY PAYING? WHAT IS THIS HOMEOWNER PAYING IN TOTAL? AND WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT THEM, YOU KNOW. AND WHAT VERSUS WYLIE AND WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT THEM PAYING IF WE ADD THIS TRYING TO GET AN IDEA OF YEAH, WE'LL SEE IF WE CAN BECAUSE EVERYBODY'S WATER RATES AND SEWER RATES ARE PROBABLY ESTABLISHED A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY. YEAH. BUT WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN FIGURE OUT. AND I DON'T NEED IT AT ALL. SOME OF IT IS JUST IF WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT IF WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT BENCHMARKS WITH NEIGHBORING

[02:10:04]

AND BASED ON THAT, THAT'S WHAT YOU GUYS PUT THE NUMBER AT. $5 IS IDENTIFYING THAT. AND WHEN WE HAVE THE NEXT DISCUSSION, BRINGING THOSE THINGS AND SAYING, HERE'S WHAT IT IS, HERE'S WHAT OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE IS GOING TO COST US TO DO THIS PROJECT. HERE'S THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT'S GOING TO GO INTO THIS PROJECT. HERE'S WHAT'S NEEDED. MAYBE WE NEED $8, BUT WE'RE ASKING FOR FIVE OR 4 OR 3. AGAIN, I LIVE IN THE CITY. IT'S GOING TO COST ME JUST AS MUCH AS ANYBODY ELSE. BUT WE EITHER START DOING THIS IMMEDIATELY OR WE PUSH IT, AND THEN IT'S GOING TO BE TEN AND $15 LATER ON. OKAY. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN. RESPECTFULLY, MAYOR PRO TEM, I WOULD DISAGREE IN THE SENSE OF IT. WHETHER OR NOT IT MATTERS TO THE END USER OR NOT.

I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT THE STORMWATER NEEDING TO BE ADDRESSED ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, BUT KNOWING THAT WE'VE MOVED SOME OF OUR SALARY EMPLOYEES OVER TO UTILITY AND WHAT WE'VE DONE WITH OUR BILLING, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THE BOTTOM LINE NUMBERS TO KNOW THAT WE DIDN'T MISAPPROPRIATE FUNDS. I DON'T MEAN THAT. I DON'T MEAN MISAPPROPRIATE THAT IT'S BEING LOOKED AT EQUALLY ACROSS THE BOARD THAT IF WE'RE HIGH OVER HERE AND WE'RE LOW OVER HERE, THAT THAT BALANCES OUT OR VICE VERSA. OR IF ANOTHER CITY IS THAT WAY, PRIMARILY BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING AT A BENCHMARK, I WOULD NOT BE SAYING THAT IF WE WEREN'T PULLING UP A BENCHMARK. BUT IF WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT A BENCHMARK DATA AT WHAT ARE OTHER CITIES CHARGING, THEN AT THE SAME TIME WE'VE GOT TO LOOK AT THE SAME DATA. WHAT ARE THEY CHARGING ON THEIR WATER, THEIR SEWER, THEIR OTHER COSTS? WHAT'S THE WHAT'S THEIR HOMEOWNERS IF THEY'RE IF THEY MOVE FROM THERE TO HERE, WHAT'S THAT DIFFERENCE. AND ARE WE OKAY WITH THAT AND JUST CALL IT OUT AND DEAL WITH IT IF WE'RE OKAY WITH IT? OKAY. OKAY. COUNCILMAN STRANG THANK YOU. MAYOR. YEAH, A COUPLE THINGS. SO JUST TO KIND OF VERIFY YOU ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE IS STILL $5 PER ER. IF WE WANTED A FLAT ONE. RIGHT. OKAY. SO WALMART BEING AN EXAMPLE OF A

[02:15:03]

IT'S LIKE CHUMP CHANGE. THEY PROBABLY COME UP MORE SHORT IN THEIR CASH DRAWERS IN A YEAR THAN THEY MORE WITH THAT THAN THEY DO WITH THIS. SO I I'M OKAY WITH THE PRICING MODEL. I'M OKAY WITH THE SLIGHT COST INCREASE OF $5 A YEAR ON MOST RESIDENTIAL HOMES. IT'S 60 BUCKS A YEAR. I'M SORRY, $5 A MONTH, 60 BUCKS A YEAR. I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED BY WHY IT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO COMPARE WATER AND SEWAGE RATES WITH OTHER CITIES TO US, BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF AN APPLES AND ORANGES. THIS IS THE WATER THAT FALLS FROM THE SKY AND NOT THE WATER THAT COMES, YOU KNOW, FROM OUR FAUCETS. THIS IS THE WATER THAT FLOWS ACROSS OUR LAWNS, DOWN THE STORM DRAIN, SO ON AND SO FORTH, NOT THE STUFF THAT GOES DOWN OUR DRAINS FROM OUR HOMES. I WON'T GET TOO VIVID WITH THAT ONE. SO IT IN MY MIND, IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE BECAUSE THE TWO AREN'T RELATED.

THE ONE HAND, SOMEBODY CAN CONTROL HOW MUCH WATER AND THUS HOW MUCH THEIR DRAIN USAGE IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE. SAME TIME, WE CAN'T REALLY CONTROL HOW MUCH GOD WANTS TO BLESS US WITH RAIN.

SO YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS. SO I DON'T THINK IT'S NECESSARY TO DO A COMPARISON LIKE THAT IN MY MIND. THANK YOU. OKAY. COUNCILMAN, DO YOU MIND IF I. WE'VE HAD A CITIZEN WHO HAS WAITED ALL NIGHT TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM BEFORE WE GET TOO FAR DOWN THE ROAD? AS FAR AS I'M GOING TO PROBABLY ASK FOR DIRECTION, AND SOME OF Y'ALL ARE GIVING A LITTLE BIT OF THAT ALREADY. I WANT TO GIVE HER THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. SO, MISS ALEXANDRA ROLFSEN, IF YOU WILL COME FORWARD, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. FOR THE RECORD, I'D LIKE TO LET YOU BE ABLE TO ADDRESS COUNCIL. APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE, BUT WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK BEFORE WE START GETTING TO THE DIRECTION PHASE. WELL, I WOULDN'T BE LEAVING WITHOUT SPEAKING. I'D BE SITTING HERE ALL NIGHT AS LONG AS YOU ARE. I GOT I HAVE NO KIDS TO ATTEND TO AT HOME. OKAY, WELL, FIRST OFF, CONGRATULATIONS, TOD. GLAD YOU GOT THAT PLACE. MY NAME IS ALEXANDRA RALSTON. I LIVE IN 1907, EAST FORK LANE HERE IN WYLIE. I'M SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF MYSELF, NOT THE HOA, JUST BECAUSE I HAVEN'T TALKED TO ANYBODY IN HOA ABOUT IT. I SENT YOU ALL AN EMAIL AND I'M JUST GOING TO BRIEFLY READ THE WHOLE THING ABOUT THIS TOPIC. HOW WILL THIS IMPOSED FEE IMPACT RIVERCHASE HOA? WE ALREADY PAY CITY TAXES, BUT CITY DOES NOT MAINTAIN OUR STREETS, SIDEWALKS, CULVERTS. WE MOW THE CITY OF WYLIE PROPERTY ALONG THE 1378.

ALL THE RUNOFF WATER FROM 1378 ENDS UP IN OUR HOA TRASH INCLUDED. NOW Y'ALL ARE TALKING ABOUT PUTTING THIS FEE ON US. AND WHERE DOES THAT STOP? AND LIKE I SAID IN AN EMAIL LAST TIME I MENTIONED, THIS IS TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. I WAS TOLD WE STILL USE CITY ROADS AND AMENITIES, BUT SO DOES EVERYBODY ELSE IN WYLIE AND EVEN OUTSIDE OF WYLIE. ANOTHER QUESTION THAT I HAVE WOULD COLLEGE BE EXEMPT FROM THESE FEES? OKAY, MISS STORM, IF YOU WANT TO PAUSE THAT OR I CAN, I'LL ASK WHEN YOU'RE DONE. I'LL LET YOU GO BACK, BUT I'LL MARK THAT DOWN AND I'LL ASK. OKAY. ALSO STORMWATER WE HAVE AND MAYBE NOT RELATED. MAYBE RELATED. Y'ALL ARE TALKING ABOUT THE STORMWATER AND REPAIRS AND ALL THIS AND ALL THAT. IT'S TIED TO TIES TO DRAINAGE AND IT TIES INTO DRAINAGE. AND THESE TWO NEW DEVELOPMENTS ON THE 1378 PARKS AND REC WERE JUST SAYING THAT THEY HAVE ISSUES WITH WITH TRAIL RENOVATION ON THE SAGE CREEK BECAUSE OF THE DRAINAGE. AND WE ALL WE HEAR RIGHT NOW IS THE MORE WATERFALLS DOWN, THE MORE STORMWATER HAS TO BE CLEANED UP. AND THIS AND THAT. AND I MEAN, I'M JUST TIRED, HONESTLY, PAYING CITY OF WYLIE AND WE DON'T GET ANYTHING BACK. I KNOW WE'RE A PRIVATE COMMUNITY, BUT WE EITHER NEED TO GET EXEMPT FROM THESE THREE PARTIAL CITY OF WYLIE TAXES, OR CITY OF WYLIE CAN ACTUALLY START TAKING SOME RESPONSIBILITY. IF NOTHING ELSE, THE CULVERTS, THE DRAINAGE

[02:20:08]

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT THAT THAT'S HOW THE DOCTOR HORTON WROTE IT IN OR WHATEVER, BUT, I MEAN, IT'S RIDICULOUS. LIKE I SAID, WE'RE PAYING INTO THE CITY OF WYLIE TAXES. WE'RE PAYING INTO THE SEWER, WE'RE PAYING INTO THE WATER. NOW, WE'RE PAYING INTO THIS, AND WE'RE NOT GETTING ANYTHING IN RETURN. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. SO I DO WANT TO ASK HER QUESTION, COLLIN COLLEGE, ARE THEY CONSIDERED AN EXEMPT ENTITY UNDER STATE LAW? I BELIEVE THAT THEY WOULD BE CONSIDERED A SCHOOLING AND IT WOULD BE UP TO THE CITY'S HIGHER EDUCATION BY LAW. IS IT OKAY? OKAY, SO YES, THEY'RE EXEMPT UNDER STATE LAW JUST TO MAKE SURE IT'S ON THE RECORD. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, I KNOW I KNOW, WE HAVE A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS OR A NUMBER OF DIRECTIONS THAT WE'RE BEING ASKED TO GIVE THIS EVENING. SO I'M GOING TO ASK FIRST IF COUNCILMAN DUKE WOULD LIKE TO HAS A QUESTION OR A STATEMENT, BECAUSE HE WAS GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO LET OUR CITIZEN COME FORWARD AND SPEAK TO COUNCILMAN DUKE, I HAVE A QUESTION FIRST, MR. MAYOR, IF THAT'S OKAY. OF COURSE. YES. SO IN YOUR OPINION, MR. MAYOR, WOULD THIS HELP WITH THE DRAINAGE SITUATION AROUND THE CITY WHERE PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT FLOODED STREETS AND FLOODED PARKING LOTS AND THEIR BAR DITCHES FLOODED AND THEIR WATER RUNNING ACROSS THEIR PROPERTY OR TURNING INTO STREAMS, IN YOUR OPINION, WOULD THIS HELP WITH THAT? YEAH, I DO BELIEVE THAT THIS WOULD HELP. IT WOULD HELP WITH THE WITH THE MAINTENANCE PORTION OF IT, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, STILL LARGE PROJECTS, YOU KNOW, A $12 MILLION PROJECT IS STILL SOMETHING THAT WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO FUND RIGHT OFF THE BAT WITH A, WITH A STORMWATER FEE. BUT A LOT OF THOSE SMALLER STUFF, THE BAR DITCHES AROUND TOWN, IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULDN'T DO WITH OUR STAFF, IS WE WOULD HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF GETTING A CONTRACTOR IN HERE TO GO HANDLE THOSE SMALLER PROJECTS. SO IT'S NOT SO MUCH AS A CIP PROJECT. IT'S MORE OF JUST OUR MAINTENANCE PROJECT FOR US.

AND ON MY ON MY DIRECTION. I TEND TO I TEND TO AGREE. I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA. THAT'S MY DIRECTION. OKAY. WELL, I WANT TO I WANT TO TRY TO WALK COUNCIL THROUGH SOME DIFFERENT DIRECTION. I KNOW YOU'VE GOT IT THERE. YOU'VE ONLY GOT ONE EXEMPTION. BUT THERE WERE. I'M TRYING TO SCROLL BACK UP TO WHEREVER THIS WAS. I KNOW IT'S ON THE PROPOSED COST SCALE HERE.

SO THANK YOU SIR. THERE ARE I'M GOING TO LIST IT AS FOUR CHURCH CITY, ALTHOUGH I GUESS THE CITY WOULD JUST PAY ITSELF. BUT CHURCH CITY COUNTY AND ISD THAT ARE POTENTIALLY EXEMPTED. AND ON THAT, I'D LIKE TO GET A LITTLE BIT OF FEEDBACK ON WHAT PEOPLE THINK FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE, BECAUSE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO NEED. FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, IF WE'RE CHARGING EVERY BUSINESS IN TOWN AND WE'RE CHARGING ALL OF THE RESIDENTS WHO LIVE IN TOWN, I THINK IT'S FAIR TO CHARGE ACROSS THE BOARD. I DON'T THINK IT MAKES SENSE FOR US TO REROUTE OUR OWN DOLLARS.

THAT KIND OF DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF ESTABLISHING THE FEE. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A NEW REVENUE SOURCE FOR US TO BE ABLE TO FUND STORMWATER. I THINK IF WE START PAYING ALL THAT COST OUT OF THE CITY BUDGET, YOU ALL KNOW THE CONSTRAINTS WE ALREADY HAVE IN GENERAL. WE'RE WE'RE JUST GOING TO BE SHUFFLING MONEY. I WOULD I WOULD NOT DO THAT FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, I'M OPENING I BELIEVE THE ISD OBVIOUSLY HAS BUS BARNS, LARGE SCALE AREAS. I DON'T THINK THE FEE AMOUNT THAT'S LISTED HERE IS GOING TO CAUSE THEM IRREPARABLE HARM OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. AND I THINK IT'S FAIR, CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF RUNOFF AND THE AMOUNT OF PROPERTY THAT THEY HAVE IN THE CITY. I'M OPEN TO THE COUNTY AS WELL. I DON'T THINK THERE'S MUCH COUNTY PROPERTY IN THE CITY, IF ANY. SO I DON'T THINK THAT'S REALLY TOO APPLICABLE. AND THAT LEAVES CHURCHES, AND

[02:25:01]

YES. OKAY. JUST MAKING SURE I CLARIFY. SORRY I'M GOING TO I'M GOING TO TAKE NOTES REAL QUICK HERE AS WELL SO THAT I CAN. I'LL GO. COUNCILMAN STRANG, WOULD YOU GIVE ME YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE FLAT VERSUS TIERED FOR RESIDENTIAL AND THEN THE EXEMPTIONS. YEAH. FOR THE FLAT AS FAR AS EXEMPTIONS GO, I WOULD EXEMPT CITY COUNTY HOUSES OF WORSHIP. I WOULD APPLY IT TO THE ISD. WOULD YOU DID YOU SAY CITY? I APOLOGIZE, CITY. COUNTY AND CITY. COUNTY HOUSES OF WORSHIP.

BUT HIT THE SCHOOL. YEAH. OKAY. COUNCILMAN HOOVER, DO YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE READY TO WEIGH IN? I PREFER THE FLAT, FLAT RATE FOR RESIDENTIAL. THE EXEMPTIONS. I WOULD SAY THE CITY WOULD BE EXEMPT. HOUSES OF WORSHIP OR RELIGIOUS. I DON'T THINK WE HAVE THAT MUCH COUNTY, SO WE COULD EXEMPT THEM. KEEP THE ISD ON. OKAY, COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS, THANK YOU. MAYOR, I'M ON BOARD WITH MOST OF MY COLLEAGUES HERE IN SUPPORT OF LEAVING THE CITY OUT OF IT, BUT GOING AHEAD AND ADDING THE HOUSES, YOU KNOW, HOUSES OF WORSHIP, THE RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS WITH THEM. BE OUT

[02:30:09]

SO BASED ON THAT, IT APPEARS THE MAJORITY OF COUNCIL FAVORS A FLAT RATE AND IS FAVORED TO EXEMPT CHURCH CITY COUNTY, BUT NOT THE ISD. AND THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE REQUESTS FOR AND I KNOW YOU'LL COME BACK WITH IT. MORE INFORMATION ON WHERE THE $5 CAME FROM, AS WELL AS A LITTLE MORE DETAIL ON HOW YOU WOULD APPROACH THE PROJECTS. BUT I KNOW YOU GUYS NEEDED DIRECTION BEFORE YOU TOOK THAT NEXT STEP, I'M ASSUMING. YEP. OKAY. DOES THAT ANSWER ALL THE DIRECTION THAT YOU WERE SEEKING THIS EVENING? YEP. THAT'S IT. OKAY. SO THANK YOU FOR COMING THIS EVENING.

APPRECIATE YOUR PARTNERS AS WELL, WHO HAVE BEEN HERE THIS EVENING FOR QUITE A WHILE. WITH THAT, UNLESS YOU HAVE SOMETHING ELSE TO ADD. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. I WILL CLOSE THE WORK
