AND SO CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. >>>

[APPLAUSE] >> . >>> MAYOR PRO TEM, WE DON'T HAVE

ANY OTHER PUBLIC OR EMPLOYEE RECOGNITIONS FOR THE EVENING. >>> OKAY.

[3. Items from Council:]

>>> TONIGHT WE HAVE TWO ITEMS FOR COUNCIL. I WILL ASK OUR CITY SECRETARY TO READ EACH ITEM AND THEREFORE THE ENLISTED MEMBER OF COUNCIL TO PRESENT THE ITEM.

>>> OKAY, THE FIRST ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS THE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA POLICY AS DISCUSSED BY A WOMAN JAN SCOTT FROM DISTRICT FOR PEACE AND I BOTH ITEM ANTICIPATE SOME ENGAGEMENT FROM SOUTH AND SO WE OBVIOUSLY GO IN THE DIRECTION THAT COUNSELORS WOULD LIKE BUT IN BOTH OF THESE

ITEMS, STAFF IS PREPARED TO DISCUSS THE TOPIC THE TOPIC AS . >>> WELL, YOU FOR THIS AGENDA ITEM BECAUSE I AM JUST CONCERNED ABOUT PREDICTABILITY OF THE AGENDA FOR OUR STAFF, KNOWING WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO PUT ON THE AGENDA. AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT IF ONE OF US GETS AN IDEA THAT WE WANT SOMETHING ON THE AGENDA, WHERE PUTTING STAFF IN A DIFFICULT POSITION FOR THEM TO SAY NO. WHERE LIKEWISE RING THEM IN A DIFFICULT POSITION TO DO A WRITE UP FOR US THAT SAYS THAT THEY ENCOURAGE SOMETHING IF THEY DON'T WANT BUT THEY DON'T NECESSARILY WANT TO PUT INTO THE WRITE UP THAT THEY DON'T ENCOURAGE IT.

AND THEN WHEN WE GET TO COUNCIL DISCUSSION OURSELVES I FEEL LIKE WE MAY BE PUTTING OURSELVES IN GOVERNMENT POSITIONS ARE NOT TRULY UNDERSTANDING THE IMPORTANCE OF IT.

AND I JUST SORT OF MADE UP, WHAT IF I DECIDE THAT I THINK THAT PEOPLE IN THE PARK SHOULDN'T HAVE MORE THAN TWO CHILDREN PER ADULT RATIO? AND I JUST DECIDED I WANT TO DO THAT, AND SO I ASK THOMAS TO WRITE UP AN ORDINANCE, AND HE WRITES IT UP AND IT'S PRESENTED TO US. YOU KNOW, I FEEL KIND OF SILLY BY THE TIME WE WERE DONE WITH THE DISCUSSION. WHICH I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO BE SPARED.

AND SO IS SORT OF MY EXAMPLE. AND SO IN TALKING TO STAFF, THEY INDICATED THAT IF WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A POLICY, THEY WOULD PREFER THAT IT BE WRITTEN, AND I THINK THOMAS SAID THAT THEY MIGHT EVEN GO SO FAR AS TO BE A RESOLUTION. I WILL LET THEM JUMP IN WHENEVER THEY WANT TO. BUT BASICALLY WHAT I AM PROPOSING IS THAT IF WE WANT TO BRING -- IF YOU WANT TO CREATE AN ORDINANCE, THAT BE FIRST TO ADMIT BE BROUGHT UP UNDER ITEMS FROM COUNCIL. AND THEN IF YOU GET ENOUGH PEOPLE THAT ARE IN SUPPORT OF THAT SOLUTION RESOLUTION, THEN D COME BACK OF THE ROLLING MEETING FOR THE READINGS.

I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO IMAGINE THAT THERE WOULD BE ANYTHING THAT WOULD BE SUCH AN EMERGENCY THAT I WOULD COME UP WITH THAT STAFF WOULDN'T BE COMING UP WITH ALSO.

SO THAT'S REALLY WHAT MY FRAME OF REFERENCE IS. I THINK THIS INITIAL LANGUAGE IS SAYING THAT, IF WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SOMETHING ON THE AGENDA, THE CITY MANAGER WILL INCLUDE ANY ITEM THAT WE REQUEST AS LONG AS WE REQUESTED IN TIME FOR THE AGENDA.

BUT IF IT HASN'T BEEN ON A MEETING AGENDA FOR CONSIDERATION IN THE LAST YEAR, THEN FIRST IT COMES UP UNDER ITEMS FROM COUNCIL. WE DISCUSSED IT UNDER ITEMS FROM COUNCIL BY BRINGING IT ON THE AGENDA AS ITEMS FROM COUNCIL WITH THE REQUESTER'S NAME THAT ALLOWS HER TO DISCUSS IT UNDER ITEMS FROM COUNCIL SO THAT IT IS NOT JUST WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME I BROUGHT SOMETHING UP BUT WE COULDN'T DISCUSS IT. THIS ONE TODAY IS OPEN FOR OUR DISCUSSION. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT I SHOULD SAY? PLEASE IF YOU DON'T MIND ME ADDING ON TO THAT, COUNCILMEMBER SCOTT AND I HAD A CONVERSATION THIS MORNING ABOUT IT WHERE WE IN THAT CONVERSATION ONE OF DEVELOPING THIS LANGUAGE, AND ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I ASKED HER WAS HOW FORMAL IS SHE PROPOSING THIS POLICY TO BE?

[00:10:04]

OR IT COULD BE SOMETHING LIKE A MAYORS POLICY THAT THE MAYOR RUNS THE MEETING AND SO THE MAYOR IS DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER, HERE'S WHAT I WANT MY MEETING AGENDA TO BE PREPARED.

OR IT COULD BE MORE FORMAL. I AM WRITING A BASKET OF FORMALITY, OKAY.

SOMETHING MORE FORMAL COULD BE A POLICY THAT'S BEEN ADOPTED BY CITY COUNCIL THAT IS JUST REVIEWED BY CITY COUNCIL ON A PERIODIC BASIS. AND THEN EVEN MORE FROM YOU COULD HAVE A MORE FORMAL POSITION ADOPTED LIKE WE HAVE OTHER POSITIONS, THAT SAYS, HERE IS HOW WE ARE GOING TO MANAGE THIS PROCESS IN THE FUTURE. AND THAT WOULD ESSENTIALLY ATTEMPTS TO BIND FUTURE CITY COUNCIL TO STICK TO THAT PROCESS UNLESS YOU GO THROUGH A FORMER PROCESS OF AMENDING IT. AND SO THROUGH THAT GOVERNMENT, THERE ARE A LOT OF OPTIONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO YOU. AND I THINK WHAT I SAID TO MS. SCOTT WAS, IT MAKES SENSE TO PUT SOMETHING IN WRITING OR WITH SOME SENSE OF FORMALITY BUT ABSOLUTELY HE WOULD FOLLOW

WHATEVER COUNCIL DESIRES ON HIS FRONT. >>> I HAVE A QUESTION.

DOES ROBERTS RULES OF ORDER THAT ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH PRESIDING OFFICER BEING IN

CHARGE OF THE AGENDA? >>> IT DOES. >>> CHARTER -- PEACE AND I AM TO SPEAK IN GENERAL TERMS BECAUSE I HAVEN'T REVIEWED THAT SECTION OF THE BOOK LATELY.

>>> I DON'T HAVE MINE; I DIDN'T BRING IT. WHERE IS THE CHEAT SHEET? PEOPLE IN GENERAL TERMS UPSETTING OFFICER IN ARCADE TODAY THE MAYOR PRO TEMPORE IS TO ESTABLISH THE AGENDA OF A MEETING ON AND THAT IS WHY AT COME TO THE SECOND LEVEL OF FORMALITY THERE IS YOU COULD SAY THIS IS THE MAYOR'S DECISION, ANTHONY WOULD THEN SIMPLY INSTRUCT THE CITY MANAGER, THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SEE ON OUR AGENDAS.

OR REQUEST OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE AS WE GO FORWARD.

WITHOUT TURNING IT AN ABSOLUTE FORMAL POLICY. ALLOWS YOU FOR ME TO PERMIT THE STRATEGY THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE AS WELL. I THINK THAT'S HOW WE'VE BEEN OPERATING FOR THE MOST PART. AND I THINK THROUGH THE YEARS AND IT'S BEEN VERY OPEN AND HONEST. WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING LIKE THIS WHEN I SAID, JUST MAKE SURE WE HAD ON THE OTHER AGENDA IS THE OTHER MAN SAID, I MEAN, STOP EVERYBODY

FROM PUTTING IT ON ITEMS FROM COUNCIL ANYWAY. >>> I HAVE A TEAM -- GO AHEAD, I'M SORRY PLEASE I THINK ANY MAYOR AND THE CONSENSUS OF COUNCILMEMBERS APPEARS SAYING, YEAH, WE ALL WANT THAT, I THINK JUST THE PRESSURE FROM THAT IS ENOUGH TO HAVE IT ON THE AGENDA, NOT JUST A MERE THAT WOULD SAY, "OH, NOW IS NOT MY AGENDA, I'M NOT PUTTING ANYTHING UP THERE

UNLESS I WANTED CLAUDE TO GO I DON'T THINK THAT LAST VERY LONG. >>> 'S WELL, AND I AM NOT TAKING ISSUE WITH ANYTHING THAT COMES UP UNDER ITEMS FROM COUNCIL AND IS ON THE AGENDA.

MY ISSUE AND CONCERN IS WHEN WE SIDESTEP THAT PROCESS AND JUST GO DIRECTLY TO PUTTING AN ITEM ON THE AGENDA FOR A VOTE, WITHOUT ANY DISCUSSION AMONGST COUNCIL BEFORE HAND.

AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS TRYING TO GET AT THAT WE AGREE THAT WE ARE LIMITING OURSELVES TO -- FIRST HE PUT IT UNDER ITEMS FROM COUNCIL SO WE CAN HAVE A DISCUSSION BEFORE WE ARE FACED

WITH VOTING ON SOMETHING THAT WE HAVEN'T DISCUSSED AT ALL. >>> AND THE COROLLARY TO THAT IS, AND STAFF HASN'T REDISCOVERED OR VETTED EITHER, OR PERHAPS THEY HAVE AMONGST THEMSELVES, BUT SINCE ONE OF US ASKED FOR IT, THEY ARE NOT IN A POSITION WHERE THEY CAN SAY THE OBVIOUS, THAT'S A REALLY DUMB IDEA, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT. OR THAT'S BRILLIANT, WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF A PIECE I KIND OF LIKE IT IS A GENTLEMEN AGREEMENT BETWEEN COUNCIL TO PUT ON ITEMS

FIRST. >>> SOLDIER YPG I DON'T KNOW ABOUT FORMALIZING IT.

>>> I WOULDN'T LIKE TO FORMALIZE IT. I THINK IT'S BEEN WORKING FINE.

I MEAN, IT HASN'T BEEN A MAJOR ISSUE. YOU NEVER KNOW IN THE FUTURE IN TERMS OF TYING SOMEONE ELSE'S HANDS TO THAT AND I THINK YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT, MY WAIST STAFF TIME, AND I THINK THAT IS A HUGE THING. I THINK THAT WE HERE

AND MAKE THAT DECISION WITH THE MAYOR PRO TEMPORE'S CHOICE. >>> I THINK I AGREE WITH YOU GUYS. I THINK A DIFFERENT ARGUMENT IS FINE FOR A DOWN.

IF SOMEBODY IN THE FUTURE WANTS TO CHANGE IT, I THINK THEY HAVE AN OPTION IN THE FUTURE.

>>> I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM. >>> EITHER WOULD HAVE THE OPTION TO DO IT. I AM NOT DISAGREEING, BUT RIGHT NOW.

[00:15:01]

>>> I LIKE HOW WE ALL COMMUNICATE HONESTLY. AND I THINK IT WAS AGREEMENT FOR THIS COUNCIL WORKS FINE. IT ENOUGH WORK FOR EVERY COUNCIL.

BUT FOR THIS COUNCIL IT WORKS, I THINK IT WORKS VERY WELL AS I THINK WE WERE VERY GOOD TOGETHER, AND I DON'T -- YOU KNOW, NOT THAT WE DON'T FORESEE IN THE FUTURE SOMEBODY ELSE CHANGING IT. I THINK FOR RIGHT NOW WE ARE FINE.

>>> MANY THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST YEAR, AND SO THAT'S WHY.

I MEAN, THREE DIFFERENT TIMES WE HAVEN'T, SO. BUT THAT'S FINE.

I MEAN, JUST BRINGING UP, AND HAVING SOME DISCUSSION, AND MAKING PEOPLE AWARE OF IT.

>>> OH, I THINK YOU BRING IT UP AND MAKING US AWARE THAT HE DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WHEN IT WAS PUT ON THE AGENDA WITHOUT DISCUSSING IT, I THINK THAT'S ENOUGH FOR US TO TAKE THAT INTO

CONSIDERATION AND -- [INDISCERNIBLE]. >>> THANK YOU.

>>> WELCOME. >>> OKAY, ITEM NUMBER TWO. IT SAYS THREE ON HERE PLEASE IF

IT IS OKAY WITH YOU, I WILL INTRODUCE THE TOPIC. >>> YETZER SO THIS NEXT ITEM FROM COUNCIL REALLY IS A TRADITIONAL NOT JUST INTO COUNCILMEMBERS LISTEN THERE ALSO OBVIOUSLY MANY OF YOU WHOM HAVE REACHED OUT TO MYSELF AND OTHER STAFF, OF COURSE, OVER THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS SINCE OUR LAST MEETING, WANTING US TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT THE FIRST PHASE OF CRESTWOOD, SPECIFICALLY SOME OF THE STRIPING & SOME CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT FORTH BY SOME OF THE CITIZENS. AND SO DO HAVE IN SHORT PRESENTATION PREPARED FOR THIS DISCUSSION AND CONVERSATION. SO SOMETHING GOOD TO HELP DEFINITION BASED UPON FACTS NO SPACE OFF OF WHAT WE KNOW, AND START A CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW WE CAN MOVE FORWARD, AND LEAD THAT DISCUSSION, MIKE ETIENNE, WILL TAKE THE PODIUM AS HE HAS ALREADY, AND WILL TAKE IT FROM

HERE. >>> THANK YOU COSMETICAS AND EVENING WHEN POTANIN AND COUNCILMEMBERS. AS YOU ARE AWARE, FOR THE PAST TWO TO THREE WEEKS, A NUMBER OF RESIDENTS FROM THE CRESTWOOD AREA OR THE CRESTWOOD STREET HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERNS REGARDING THE UNUSUALLY CONSTRUCTED STREETS. SO IN RESPONSE TO THAT WE MET WITH SEVERAL OF THE LEADERS, INCLUDING MR. HARKIN. SPOKE TO MR. HARKIN AS WELL AS MR. WALLER, TO ESSENTIALLY RENDER UNDERSTAND WHAT THE ISSUES WERE, AND ALSO TO SEE IF WE CAN FIND SOLUTIONS. SO WE WENT AND WALKED THE STREET WITH MR. WALLER DURING THE REIG.

AND SO WE GET BETTER UNDERSTANDING AS TO WHAT THE ISSUES WERE.

SO BEFORE TALK ABOUT THE SOLUTIONS, I WANTED TO PROVIDE YOU A FEW DATA POINTS ON CRESTWOOD AS IT IS TODAY. SO KRISPIN IS CLASSIFIED IN THE MASTER PLAN IS A COLLECTOR STREET. SO A COLLECTOR STREET OR ROAD IS A LOW TO MODERATE CAPACITY ROAD WHICH SERVES TO MOVE TRAFFIC FROM LOCAL STREETS TO LARGER ARTERIAL THOROUGHFARES.

SO THE SPEED LIMIT ON CRESTWOOD, OR A COLLECTOR ROAD, IS BETWEEN 25 TO 35 MILE-PER-HOUR.

THERE IS ALSO AN ORDINANCE, WHICH WAS PASSED IN 1960, WHICH PROHIBITS PARKING ON CRESTWOOD.

HOWEVER, IN 2009 AN ORDINANCE REMOVED THE PORTION BETWEEN BEN JORDAN AND SAM HOUSTON.

CRESTWOOD ESSENTIALLY FROM NAVARRO TO BEN JORDAN, AS YOU ARE AWARE WAS IN POOR CONDITION.

IT WAS RIDDLED WITH POTHOLES. SO WE HAVE BEGUN THE PROCESS TO REBUILD CRESTWOOD FROM A FOUR LINE ROAD TO A TWO-LANE ROAD WITH A CENTER LANE. THE DESIGN OF THIS PROJECT WERE DISCUSSED WITH COUNCIL BACK IN 2017 AND ALSO 2018. SO THIS AERIAL MAP, COUNCILMEMBERS, SHOWS WHAT CRESTWOOD, ESPECIALLY THE 1800 AND 1900 BLOCK OF CRESTWOOD LOOKS LIKE. IT WAS A FOUR-LANE ROAD. AND TODAY IT HAS TWO TRAVEL LANES AND ONE CENTER TURN LANE. SO THIS IS THE BEFORE AND THIS IS THE AFTER.

>> IN TERMS OF TRAFFIC COUNTS, INTO 19 THE PEAK TRAFFIC, WE SAW ABOUT 6160 CARS PER DAY GOING CRESTWOOD FROM NAVARRO TO SAM HOUSTON. SO BETWEEN NAVARRO TO LORRAINE

[00:20:02]

FROM BEN JORDAN TUCKER SAM HOUSTON. >> WE ALSO FROM APRIL 26 FROM MAY 3RD OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC OR SPEED STUDY.

THE SPEED LIMIT, AS YOU KNOW I CRESTWOOD, IS CURRENTLY 30 MILE-PER-HOUR.

AND DURING THAT TIME PERIOD, WHEN THE TIME THE STUDY WAS ABOUT 32 MILES-PER-HOUR, AND ABOUT 20,000 CARS WERE OBSERVED DURING THAT TIME PERIOD. AND IN REGARDS TO THE LEVEL OF SERVICE, THE LEVEL OF SERVICE ON CRESTWOOD AT THE MOMENT IS CURRENTLY GOOD.

IS A LOS OF A DO B. SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS MAP SPECIFICALLY, IF THE COLOR SCREEN IS STREET IS GREEN OR YELLOW, IT IS THE CURRENT TRAFFIC FLOW IS GOOD.

SO THERE IS REALLY NO CONGESTION. SO IF IT IS GREEN OR YELLOW.

SO THAT'S THE LEVEL OF SERVICE. SO THE CURRENT LEVEL OF SERVICE AND CRESTWOOD IS CURRENTLY GOOD,

WHICH MEANS NO CONGESTIONS. >> NOW, IF THE COLOR IS RED OR ORANGE, IT MEANS THE TRAFFIC FLOW IS NOT GOOD IN TERMS OF HIGH CONGESTIONS, OR THERE IS SOMETHING THAT'S CAUSING THE TRAFFIC TO BACK UP. SO, AGAIN, WE ARE COMMITTED TO ADDRESSING OR TO FINDING WORKABLE SOLUTIONS TO ADDRESS THE RESIDENT'S CONCERNS. SO SUCH STAFF, ESPECIALLY OUR CITY ENGINEER KEN GILL, AND OUR PLANNING DIRECTOR JULIE FULGHAM, MET TO ESSENTIALLY FIND WORKABLE SOLUTIONS THAT COULD ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF OUR CITIZENS. SO AT THIS TIME I WOULD LIKE KEN GILL, OUR CITY ENGINEER, TO COME FORWARD AND TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE FINDINGS AND SOLUTIONS THAT

COULD BE CONSIDERED. >>> OKAY, GOOD EVENING. A COUPLE OF THE THINGS THAT I NOTED OUT THERE IS JUST GETTING TRAFFIC TO PAY ATTENTION TO SPEED LIMIT SIGNS.

ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS YOU'LL SEE UP THERE TO REDUCE SPEEDS I, OF COURSE, TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT AND THROUGH OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT. BUT ANOTHER ONE THAT WE HAVE NOT DONE IN VICTORIA YES, WE'VE DONE THEM ON THE SIDELINES SIGNS IS ELIMINATED ON THE SIGN PART WE HAVEN'T DONE IT AROUND THE SPEED LIMIT SIGN BUT IT IS A VIABLE OPTION.

AND I THINK THAT IS SOMETHING THAT GETS PEOPLE'S ATTENTION AS YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THAT ROAD.

IT WILL ALWAYS BE FLASHING, IT IS RIGHT, IT IS LED AND SOLAR POWERED.

SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT LINES OR ANOTHER POWER POLE BARN THAT IS AN OPTION THAT I THINK MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THIS SITUATION WILL REALLY HELP GRAB ATTENTION TO THE DRIVERS AS THEY ARE

DRIVING THROUGH. >> ANOTHER OPTION, OF COURSE, IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE CITIZEN BROUGHT UP WAS PARKING ALONG THE SIDE AND REVISING THE STRIPING IN ANY MANNER IS GOING TO ESTIMATE A COST OF ABOUT 20,000. AND THEN THERE WAS DISCUSSION ABOUT WIDENING THE STREET. YOU KNOW, TAKEN SOME OF THAT OUT AND WHITING STREET TO GIVE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE ROOM, POSSIBLY PARKING ON BOTH SIDES. AND I'LL GO THROUGH SOME OF THE OPTIONS. THAT ONE IS FAIRLY EXPENSIVE, RECORD IS GOING TO INVOLVE A LOT OF DEMOLITION AND THEN RE-AND INDUSTRY AGAIN. THIS IS THE EXISTING CONDITION,

13-FOOT TRAVEL LANES, A 14-FOOT CENTER. >> ANCHOR: IN, AND THEN A 13-FOOT TRAVEL LANE. THE OPTION ONE THAT WE HAVE IS BASICALLY TAKING WHAT'S THERE NOW AND PUTTING A WHITE EDGE LINE MAY BE A FOOT OFF, PLUS OR MINUS, RIGHT ON THE CURB LINE.

BASICALLY WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO IS DEFINE THAT DRIVING RAIN THAT IT DOES GET A LITTLE BUFFER BETWEEN THE CURB AND SIDEWALK. IF YOU WILL NOTICE -- AND I BROUGHT THIS UP THAT WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY IN DC THAT MIGHT EDGE LINE, YOU WILL BE -- YOU WON'T CROSS THAT EDGE LINE. IN FACT, HE WILL HUNDESSA DESCRIBE A LITTLE MORE UNTIL UNLESS THERE IS A ONCOMING CAR YOU WILL SCHOOL OVER. BUT IT'S REAL INTERESTING ABOUT WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THOSE EDGE LINES, AND WORK REALLY WELL. FEYEREISEN LEE HIGHWAY SPARTA WE

[00:25:06]

>> I SHALL PARKING ON THE NORTH SIDE, IT COULD BE REVERSED. YOU COULD HAVE PARKING ON THE OTHER SIDE. IT PROVIDES A 10-FOOT PARKING LANE ON ONE SIDE, TWO 13-FOOT TRAVEL LANES, AND THEN A BUFFER ON THE OTHER SIDE. AND IN OTHER WORDS YOU HAVE YOUR WHITE EDGE LINES. AGAIN, YOU COULD FLIP IT YOU CAN HAVE PARKING ON THE SOUTH SIDE,

MALL PARKING ON THE NORTH SIDE. >> ONE THING WE DID LOOK AT IS CAN YOU DO PARKING ON BOTH SIDE.

YES YOU CAN. HOWEVER, IT MAKES THAT LANE, THOSE TRAVEL LANES, TEN AND A HALF FEET WIDE. AND TO GIVE YOU A REFERENCE, THAT'S LIKE DRIVING DOWN MAIN STREET. AND YOU KNOW HOW TIGHT THAT IS WHEN YOU'RE COMING DOWN MAIN STREET, AND YOU'RE GOING THE SAME DIRECTION, SO IT'S TIGHT. SO IT WOULD BE THAT SAME TYPE SCENARIO. THAT'S WHY WE DIDN'T PRESENTED AS AN OPTION.

IT GIVES THOSE DRIVERS TOO MUCH OF A PUCKER FACTOR. >> SOME OTHER OPTIONS -- WE LOOKED AT ALL KINDS OF THINGS. WE LOOKED AT JOBS HEAVY STRIPING IN THE CENTER LANE.

THAT DOESN'T REALLY DO ANYTHING FOR THE SPEED OR ADDITIONAL PARKING.

BUT THESE ARE THE TWO BEST OPTIONS THAT WE COULD SEE COMING THROUGH.

I WANT TO SHOW LAURENT TO HALSEY, THAT IS THE STREET AS IT WAS.

I WANT TO BRING UP THE BETWEEN BEN JORDAN AND SAM HOUSTON, PARKING ON BOTH SIDES, THE REASON THAT WAS ABLE TO OCCUR IS THAT PAVEMENT IS 5-FOOT WIDER. IT'S JUST -- FOR WHATEVER REASON IT GOT WIND THAT SECTION. AND THAT IS WHY THERE WAS ABLE TO PUT THAT SOLDIER MONITORING THE YEAR BEFORE THAT, THAT LITTLE PIECE WITH DENNIS IN HOUSTON, THERE WAS STILL NO PARKING ARTICLE IT WAS JUST THE RESIDENT SAID YEAH, SINCE IT IS SO WHITE KELLEY PARK AND AND THEY SAID WELL, OKAY. AND THAT IS WHY WE BROUGHT THE ORDINANCE BACK TO COUNCIL.

>> WHOOPS. AND I AM DONE WITH MY PRESENTATION.

I WILL ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, THOUGHTS. >>> THE LED LIGHTS ON THE SPEED

SIGNS, WHAT COLOR WOULD THEY BECOME A JUST WHITE? >>> JUST WAITE PARK THEY ARE BRIGHT, THOUGH,. THEY WILL SHINE DURING THE DAY. WE'VE GOT SOME ON DEL MAR AND --

LET'S SEE, IS DEMO. >>> AND WILSON. WILSON, VANTAGE POINT WE'VE GOT THEM IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS. ANOTHER IS WHEN YOU'RE COMING UP COUNTRY CLUB AND YOU STOP IN A ' S OFF, SPRING CREEK, THAT ONE IS ON PERMANENTLY. AND THEY ARE RIGHT.

IT IS SOMETHING TO BRING AWARENESS TO THAT SPEED. I HAVE A QUESTION, JUST ONE QUESTION: IF YOU WERE TO MAKE THAT, THE INTO SIDES DEPARTMENT AND YOU SAID IT WILL BE LIKE DRIVING DOWN MAIN STREET, WOULDN'T THAT MIKE ALSO KIND OF USE YOUR SPEED? PLEASE IT WOULD REDUCE IT BUT WHAT I WOULD BE AFRAID OF IS IF SOMEBODY DOESN'T PART JUST PERFECT -- I MEAN, RIGHT UP AGAINST THAT GUTTER AND RIGHT UP AGAINST THAT GUTTER, IF THEY ALREADY PUT OFF MEDS THAT LANE MAY GO TO 10-FOOT OR 9-FOOT RAIN AND IT'S JUST GOING TO BE TOO NARROW, TRUCK TRAFFIC IS -- YOU KNOW, IF YOU GOT A UPS TRUCK OR ANYTHING LARGE ROLLING DOWN THERE, THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE A CROSSOVER INTO THE CENTER. IT WOULD SLOW DOWN IMMENSELY.

BUT, AGAIN, PART OF THIS IS WE'VE GOT TO REMEMBER, THIS IS A COLLECTIVE STREET.

AND ONCE WE START PULLING THINGS DOWN PEOPLE WILL AVOID IT THEN. AND NOW YOU ARE GOING TO SHIFT TRAFFIC POSSIBLY TO OTHER STREETS, SIDESTREETS THAT DON'T HAVE THAT VOLUME.

AND THAT'S ONE OFHE REASONS WE KEEP THOSE LANE WIDTHS AT OLD FORT.

THAT'S AN ISSUE STANDARD. >>> AND WHO WOULD YOU DECIDE WHICH SIDE WOULD HAVE THE PARKING THE NORTH OF THE SOUTH; WOULD THAT BE AFTER THE RESIDENCE, OR?

>>> I THINK IT WILL BE A RESIDENCE AND A COUNCIL DECISION ON THAT.

IT CAN BE EITHER ONE. >>> WOULD THEY GET EITHER TOFINO JUST 10 FEET FROM PARKING?

>>> IT WOULD BE 10 FEET. AND ACCORDING TO THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT, 9-FOOT IS THE

MINIMUM OR PARALLEL PARKING. >>> PART WHY IS THERE A 4-FOOT BUFFER? COULD IT BE SMALLER AND YOU CAN HAVE -- PLEASE IT IS JUST THE EXTRA WIDTH OF THE ROAD.

THE ROAD IS ABOUT 40-FOOT WIDE BAR SO WHEN YOU ADD THOSE TOGETHER, AT LEAST FOUR FLINCHBAUGH YOU CAN MAKE AN 11-FOOT PARKING LANE IF YOU WANTED TO ANY THREE PUT BUFFER.

[00:30:01]

>>> AND YOU CAN STRIKE A THE CREDENTIALING TOO IF YOU WANTED TO BE SURE WELCOME AND THOUGHT, SINCE ANOTHER CONDITION PARKING, OBVIOUSLY IF THERE IS ANY CHANGE WILL REQUIRE AMENDING THE

ORDINANCE PRESENTS TO. >>> SINCE THE ORDINANCE TECHNICALLY THIRD NOT CURRENTLY OFFER PARKING. OBVIOUSLY THE EASILY DONE BY SIMPLY BRINGING A COUNCIL BUT BUT IT'S JUST NOT FORGET THAT IT WOULD NECESSITATE THAT STEP AS WELL.

>>> SO IF WE DO PARKING ON JUST ONE SIDE OF THE STREET, BUT IF NOT HAVE THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE OF PEOPLE DARTING ACROSS THE STREET TO THE OTHER SIDE?

>>> YOU WOULD HAVE THAT ONE OTHER THING I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT I DON'T KNOW IF RESIDENTS HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS, IS AS YOU -- PARKING -- ONCE YOU ALLOW PARKING FOR ANYBODY CAN PARK IN FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE, IT'S PUBLIC OR SO IF ANYONE IS A PART IN FRONT OF HIS NEIGHBORS HOUSE, HE CAN. IT'S NOT DEDICATED TO YOU KNOW, YOUR HOUSE.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DISCOURAGE AND WE TRIED TO YOU KNOW, WORK WITH PROPERTY OWNERS AND THEY ARE BUILDING A HOUSE OR BUILDING A HOUSE ON ARTERIAL OR COLLECTIVE, IS HAVE A TURN IN MOTION WE PULL IN YOUR DRIVEWAY AND YOU GOT TURNAROUND FOR YOU CAN FACE COMING OUT, SEE THE TRAFFIC. IN THIS INSTANCE, THERE'S REALLY NOT A LOT OF ROOM TO DO THAT WITH THE WAY THE HOUSES ARE CONFIGURED. SO THAT MEANS, AND THAT CURRENT IS BACK AT THAT DRIVER, AND THEY'RE LOOKING DOWN THE ROAD OUT THERE LOOKING FOR ONCOMING CARS, IF THERE'S A CAR PARKED, THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE A HARD TIME SEEING IT.

AND IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT THEY, I THINK THE RESIDENCE, NEED TO BE CONSCIOUS OF, IS IT'S GOING TO PUT YOU KNOW, A POSSIBLY DIFFICULT SITUATION INTO THEM.

THAT'S WHY IT OUT OF THE ON STREET PARKING IS LIMITED TO WHERE THERE IS NO ACCESS DRIVEWAYS PERPENDICULAR. IT'S A PARALLEL STREET. MAIN STREET IS A GOOD EXAMPLE.

THERE IS NO DRIVEWAYS. >>> ONE THOUGHT TOO THAT MIGHT IMPACT THE DISCUSSION ON WHERE YOU ARE AT PARKING, IS THAT THE REDETT AND I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A WAY TO ZOOM IN ON THESE IMAGES ARE NOT. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE A NEW AREA ON THERE.

BUT IN ANY CASE IS THE FACT THAT TOMMASO DOES HAVE A SMALL 3-FOOT GRASS BUFFER BETWEEN THE CURB AND THE SIDEWALK? SO IF YOU DID HAVE -- YOU KNOW, JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT BUT THERE IS AN EXISTING BUFFER FROM THE NORTH SIDE. JUST SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND.

YOU KNOW, WE COULD LOOK AT MID BLOCK CROSSINGS, AND LOOKING TO SEE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE, SO THAT AT LEAST THERE IS A CROSSING THAT IS AT LEAST SOMEWHAT PROTECTED SOMEHOW.

I'M SURE THAT WOULD NECESSITATE MORE LOOKING INTO. OBVIOUSLY MAYBE NOT IDEAL, BUT

MAYBE WORTH EXPLORING. BUT THAT IS WHERE WE ARE. >> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WASN'T MENTIONED IN THE FACT THAT OBVIOUSLY WHEN THIS PROJECT WAS REBUILT WE NARROWED THIS RESPONSE IS NOT AS SIMPLE AS SIMPLY ADDING FOUR LANES BACK, BECAUSE WE NARROWED IT.

AND WE MADE IT, I THINK BY WHAT, FOUR, 5 FEET? >>> IT WAS ABOUT 40 OR 45 FEET

PRIOR. >>> SO IT JUST MAKES IT CAN UNLESS IT IS BENT 45 TO MEN DOLLARS TO KNOCK OUT A CRYPTO REFINISH IT, IT'S JUST IMPOSSIBLE TO ADD FOUR

LANES BACK. >>> MARK WHERE WE WERE TRY TO ACCOMMODATE PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLES IN THAT ERA, AND THAT'S PART OF WHY WE NARROWED IT, SO WE COULD INCREASE THE SIDEWALK.

>>> RIGHT. AND ANOTHER REASON THAT CAME UP WAS, WHEN YOU LOOK AT CRESTWOOD AS IT INTERSECTS NAVARRO, AS IT INTERSECTS LOW RENT DISTRICT, AND IS A SIX MAIN STREET, IT NARROWED DOWN TO THREE LANES EVERY ONE OF THOSE MAJOR INTERSECTIONS.

SO THERE'S A MERGE FACTOR GOING AND WHETHER THERE IS FOUR LANES OR JUST TO LANES.

>>> WE COULD PUT SOME PUDDLES BACK. THAT WOULD SLIP BACK.

>>> SPEED HUMPS. BUT IT JUST DEPENDS WHAT ISSUES WE ARE TRYING TO MITIGATE, RIGH.

>>> EXACTLY >>> DID YOU ALL HAVE ANY DISCUSSION ABOUT 13-FOOT TRAVEL

LANES WITH EQUAL BUFFER ZONES? >>> YES. AND THAT I THINK COMES OUT TO

ABOUT A SIX AND A HALF FOOT BUFFER ZONE ON EITHER SIDE. >>> DOES THAT SOLVE ANYTHING,

THOUGH, EXCEPT FOR BUFFER AWAY FROM THE RESIDENCE. >> HE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO ALLOW

PARKING WITH A SIX AND A HALF BUFFER. >>> RIGHT.

>>> IT MIGHT HELP THE SCENARIO OF WHENEVER THE DELIVERY TRUCK OR THE GARBAGE TRUCK THAT'S PICKING UP YOU KNOW, CREATES -- YOU KNOW, MAYBE SOME SPACE TO GO AROUND, BUT YOU ARE STILL GOING TO DELAY NEW ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ONE CONFIRMED CONCERN BUT BOARD WAS THAT THE DESIGN BUT CLOSE TE VEHICLES PASSING BY THE HOMES, RIGHT. BUT THERE WERE LINKEDIN BEFORE.

BUT THAT WAS BROUGHT UP. HAVING A BUFFER ON BOTH SIDES MIGHT MAKE IT OKAY FOR CAR SIX

[00:35:01]

IF A CAR PASSES BY YOU KNOW, MIGHT GET HIT. BUT IF THERE'S A BUFFER YOU

KNOW, THERE'S A BUFFER, RIGHT. >>> BUT THERE'S A ORDINANCE WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BLOCK THE

SIDEWALK WITH YOUR VEHICLE. >>> CORRECT. THAT'S WHAT I WAS WONDERING WITH TWO VEHICLES PARKED THESE WANTED SOME POINT SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE, RIGHT.

AND WE JUST NEED TO ASK OURSELVES, WHAT ISSUES DO WE WANT TO MITIGATE.

AND IS JUST ONE OF THOSE UNFORTUNATE SITUATIONS WHERE WE JUST CAN'T SOLVE EVERY

SITUATION. >>> WHAT IS THE NEAREST A PARKING AND CAN BE.

>>> 941 PARALLEL PARKING. >>> 9-FOOT IS THE NARROWEST? >>> YES.

>>> SO 9-FOOT PARKING ON ONE SIDE, 13--FOOT LANES AND A 5--FOOT BUFFER ON THE OTHER SIDE

IS FOR COMING AND GOING. COULD THAT HAPPEN? >>> YOU COULD DO THAT.

>>> WE COULD TEMPORARILY DO THAT UNTIL WE RE-STRIPE IT AND IN THE BUZZER WHEN WE COULD BUDGET FOR

SOMETHING MORE SAFER AND BETTER. >>> RIGHT. AND I JUST WANT PRETEND TO GIVE IT A LITTLE EXTRA ROOM FOR PARKING JUST TO GIVE A PERSON LIKE ME WHO CANNOT PARALLEL

PARK. >>> HOW WOULD YOU TEMPORARILY DO IT?

>>> WELL, YOU RESTRIPING UNTIL WE BUDGET IN THE FUTURE FIVE YEARS, TEN YEARS, WHATEVER CAR

TO GET IT FIXED. >>> IF WE CHOSE TO. >>> WE BUILT THIS FOR OTHER

PURPOSES, AND BUILT THIS IS GOOD QUALITY. >>> WILL EVENTUALLY BUT WE NEED A QUICK FIX BECAUSE THE WAY IT IS NOW IS NOT WORKING, I'VE BEEN IN IT, I'VE GIVEN IT, I WALKED IN WITH THE JUDGMENT, AND THERE'S DEFINITELY A MAJOR ISSUE AND LIVES AT STAKE BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE WALK THAT AREA PARCEL WE'VE GOT TO AT LEAST RE-STRIPE IS TEMPORARY.

RICKY, HOW IS IT DIFFERENT THAN IT WAS WITH THE SIDEWALK AGAINST A FOUR-LANE ROAD?

IS IT THE ROLLING CURB ISSUE, OR IS IT THE. >>> I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR

QUESTION. >>> PREVIOUSLY WHEN IT WAS BUILT, RIGHT, IT WAS FOUR-LANE

SPEED EXACTLY. >>> AND SIDEWALK WAS RIGHT AGAINST THE ROADWAY?

>>> CORRECT. >>> SO -- PLEASE IF YOU CAN GO BACK TO WHAT IS TALKING ABOUT.

>>> CAN YOU SHOW THE CURRENT. >>> I'M GETTING THERE. LET ME GO ALL THE WAY BACK.

>>> THERE WE GO. SO IN THIS SITUATION, SO LET'S THINK BACK TO THE COMMUNICATION THAT I PROVIDED YOU. AND MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE STARTED THEIR WITH ARISING SOME OF THE CONCERNS. BUT PRESIDENTS WERE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT YOU COULD PARK IN THE ALDER LANE IN THE EVENINGS AND ON WEEKENDS TO A CERTAIN EXTENT.

IN THAT SCENARIO A DELIVERY TRUCK COULD BE ON THE ALDER LANE AND SO THEY COULD SIMPLY GO AROUND THE TRUCK BY USING THE OTHER THROUGH LANE. AND OBVIOUSLY IF THERE WAS A CAR PARKED IN FRONT, YOU COULD DO THE SAME. SO, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, PART OF THE OBSERVATIONS ARE, NOW THAT IT'S FEELING THE MIDDLE TERM THEN, OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN'T PARK IN A THREE LANE BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONE. AND WHEN THERE IS SOME TYPE OF DELIVERY TRUCK, UNLESS SOMEBODY COMPLETELY STOPPED OUT THERE GOING INTO THE MIDDLE TURN LANE TO GO AROUND IT, BECAUSE IT ISN'T A SECOND THROUGH LANE THAT'S, QUOTE-UNQUOTE, "SAFE, RIGHT. SO WHAT PEOPLE ARE OBSERVING INTO THE HABIT OF DRIVERS IS THAT THEY ARE SLOWING DOWN WHEN THERE'S A AARON SCHOCK OR FEDEX TRUCK THAT PULLED UP IN FRONT,

THEY ARE GOING TO THE LITTLE >> ANCHOR: , WHICH IS CREATING THE FILTER NOT TO BE A PASSENGER IN, ALMOST, WHICH IS NOT THE INTENT OF THE MIDDLE TURN LANE. THAT CAN OBVIOUSLY CREATE ISSUES IF THERE ARE PEOPLE ENTERING THE MIDDLE TURN LANE TO ACTUALLY TURN BOSTON YOU HAVE A CAR COMING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BUT THAT IS ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT WAS BROUGHT UP.

>>> ARE YOU SAYING THAT THE SIDEWALK WAS SAFER BECAUSE THERE WERE CARS PARKED ILLEGALLY ALONG

THERE. >> I'M NOT SURE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SIDEWALKS AT THIS FROM MY PERSPECTIVE WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE SIDEWALKS BUT IF -- BUT SPECIFICALLY IN TERMS OF DIFFERENCE AND IN TERMS OF THE ACRE PATTERN FROM THE FOUR-AND TO THE THREE-LINE,

THAT'S WHAT WE OBSERVE. >>> NO, MY QUESTION TO MR. DE LA GARZA, HE SAID THAT THE SAFETY OF THE RESIDENTS IN THE SIDEWALKS TWO PEOPLE WALKING UP AND DOWN THE SIDEWALKS ALL THE TIME. BUT IN THIS YOU HERE I SEE THE SIDEWALKS RIGHT UP AGAINST THE MAIN TRAFFIC ALREADY BUT I DON'T SEE THAT THIS NEW DESIGN IS DIFFERENT SAVE FOR THE CURB

[00:40:03]

SO THAT'S WHAT THE RESIDENTS CONCERN IS, THE JEFFREY PARRIS AND DRIVING PATTERNS HAVE

DRASTICALLY CHANGED, TO MAKE IT A LOT OR DANGEROUS. >>> I THINK SOME PUBLIC INFORMATION, SOME PUBLIC EDUCATION IN SPEED LIMIT SIGNS CAN GO A LONG WAY AND THAT.

I MEAN, IT'S A NICE ROAD NOW SO PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DRIVE FASTER ON POINT BUT I THINK THE SPEED

LIMIT SIGN IS A REALLY GOOD IDEA FROM THAT STANDPOINT. >>> WE HAVE TO HAVE A TURN LANE

DOWN THE MIDDLE OF CRESTWOOD? >>> NO. AND AS A MATTER FACT ONE OF THE OTHER OPTIONS COULD LITERALLY BE PUTTING ON LINE -- CENTER LINE DOWN THE MIDDLE AND JUST LEAVING YOU KNOW, 20-FOOT LANES. BUT -- PLEASE I DON'T THINK THAT IS.

>>> YOU KNOW. WE DIDN'T INCLUDE THAT AS AN OPTION BECAUSE THAT PRESENTS ALL SORTS OF OTHER ISSUES TOO. BUT BASICALLY -- ERRATIC ACOUSTIC ALIGNED ON THE MIDDLE? SURE. BUT IF ONE OF THE CONCERNS IS THE PROXIMITY OF THE VEHICLE PASSING BY IN FRONT OF THE PROPERTIES, OR THEM HAVING THAT OUTER LINE, COULD HELP WITH THA.

AND IF WE NEEDED TO LOOK AT YOU KNOW, OPTIONS FOR REFLECTORS OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE TO INCLUDE IN THAT LINE, WE COULD CERTAINLY DO THAT TO HELP SORT OF MAKE THE SENIOR LANE, RIGHT.

SO, I MEAN, IT DOESN'T JUST HAVE TO BE A PAINTED LINE IF WHAT WE ARE REALLY TRYING TO SOLVE VOICE KEEPING BECAUSE AWAY FROM THE SIDEWALK WHEN THEY ARE PASSING BY HIS AND I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM GOING TO TWO LANES. THE PART THAT I'M STRUGGLING WITH IS, WHAT DO YOU DO ON THE OUTER SIDES TO AND I UNDERSTAND THE PARKING ISSUE. BUT I AM SO AFRAID, WITH OTHER PEDESTRIAN ISSUES THAT WE'VE DEALT WITH ON OTHER STREETS, THAT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT PUTTING IT ON ONE SIDE AND NOT BOTH. I DON'T KNOW THAT IT SOUNDS ANYTHING ON THE ONE SIDE PARTICULARLY WITH VEHICLE BECAUSE YOU STILL HAVE TWO -- YOU KNOW, IF THEY ARE GOING ON THE SOUTH SIDE DELIVERING, THE CAR IS GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT

BEHIND IT OR IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO CROSS INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. >>> YOU ALSO HAVE THE TRASH

PICKUP. >>> MM-HMM. >>> DARRYLE IS SHAKING HIS HEAD

OVER THERE. >>> IT TAKES 20 SECONDS PER HOME TRASH PICKUP, COURTESY OF OUR

AMAZING EMPLOYEES. >>> DARRYLE SAID VERY GOOD, YES. >>> AND SO, YES IT'S DEFINITELY AN ISSUE AND I SUPPOSE IT'S AN AMBULANCE THIS FIRE IS GOING WHEN A BIG CONFLICT.

BUT THE REALITY OF THAT -- IS NOT ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY >>> AND WHEN IT COMES TO GARBAGE PICKUP, DELIVERIES, AND ESPECIALLY GARBAGE PICKUP, WE HAVE A LOT OF ROADS THAT ARE TWO-LANE OPEN SECTIONS WHERE, I MEAN, YOU'RE GOING AROUND THEM. IT'S SLOW, YOUR CAUTIOUS.

SO, I MEAN, THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY AN UNCOMMON THING TO MAKE A CITY OR SPEECH I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM RESIDENTS. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THEIR CONCERNS ARE.

IF IT'S PARKING, THE TEMPORARY THING WILL BE TO GO WITH WHAT YOU'RE SHOWING ON THE SCREEN, PUTTING PARKING ON ONE SIDE AND WE COULD SEE HOW THAT GOES. WHAT YOU ARE TALKING IF WE PUT PARKING ON BOTH SIDES WITH WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A MAJOR INVESTMENT IN MONEY.

>>> WE COULD TEMPORARILY DO THIS, RIGHT? >>> YES.

>>> THIS RE-STRETCH KIESSLING -- THIS RESTRIPING CAN BE TEMPORARY.

>>> THAT'S FINE, BUT IT CAN'T STAY THE WAY IT IS, IT'S JUST NOT SAFE.

>>> AND I WILL CONCUR WITH JESUS IS ON THE NORTH SIDE HAD THAT BUILT-IN GRASS BUFFER, AND THAT WOULD MAKE THE BEST SENSE FOR THE PARKING WOULD BE FAR BECAUSE, IN OTHER WORDS, THAT CAR IS GETTING TO HAVE A -- NOT A TENDENCY TO ROLL THAT CURB OR GET TOO FAR OVER.

[00:45:06]

NORTH SIDE, IS IT BEING A MORE PREFERRED LOCATION. >>> KEN, BESIDES THESE SOLAR LATE SPEED LIMIT, BE FLASHING OR THE CONSTANT SPIROMETER SO SPEAK, LIKE GOING DOWN TO THE

PARK AND STUFF, IS THAT AN OPTION? >>> THE FLUSHING ONE?

>>> EITHER A FLASHING ONE OR THAT SHOWS YOUR SPEED TO THE DRIVERS.

>>> YOU COULD DO BOTH BARBARA AND I THINK THE FLUSHING ONE WORKS.

I MEAN, IT WORKS. I MEAN, WE COULD DO ONE, IT'S JUST MORE EXPENSIVE, BUT NOT THAT MUCH MORE. EITHER ONE. OR BOTH.

>>> I THINK THE NEW CURTIS HERTEL YOU THE SPEED LIMIT IS AND WHETHER YOU'RE GOING TO.

>> ANCHOR: IT OR NOT AND IT'S SHOWING TO YOU RIGHT THERE IN YOUR DASHBOARD.

ON AND GOING, OH, WOW,. BUT WE DON'T HAVE THOSE TYPES OF CARS, ALL OF US.

>>> I WOULD LIKE MORE INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY BUT THEN MAYBE WE COULD TAKE DISCUSSION.

>>> AND WE'VE GOT CITIZENS, MEDICATION COMING UP NEXT. >>> YES WE DO.

>>> THANK YOU. >>> THANK YOU, CAN. YOU MAY HAVE TO CALL YOU BACK UP, SO DON'T LEAVE. AS A MEMBER CITIZENS, MEDICATION MAY BE DONE EITHER IN PERSON OR

[4. Citizen Communication:]

IT IS GENERALLY THE PRACTICE OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOT TO RESPOND TO COMMENTS MADE DURING THIS TIME, BUT CITY STAFF WILL BE AVAILABLE TO FOLLOW-UP AS NECESSARY.

OKAY, WE DISPENSED -- CAN WE DISPENSE WITH THAT AND ALLOW FOR US TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE

CITIZENS >> YES, MA'AM, WE CANCEL IT BECAUSE IT IS LISTED ON THE

AGENDA. >>> THANK YOU. OKAY, ANYBODY WHO WISHES TO COME

FORWARD? I HAVE WALTER HAWKINS. >>> HOCKIN.

>>> HOCKIN. OKAY, THANK YOU'S ARE. >>> NOW MY PRESENTATION GOING TO

TAKE MORE THAN THREE MINUTES, MA'AM. >>> THAT'S FINE.

OKAY. DAZON TURNER OF THE CITY OF VICTORIA TEXACO FIRST CONGRATULATIONS, COUNCIL BAUKNIGHT. A RESTRICTED SECTION OF CRESTWOOD, WE WANT TO THANK OUR COUNCILMAN, MR. DELAGARZA AND COUNCILMAN FIVE AND -- THANKS RESIDENTS HAD WE ARE VOICING OUR DISAPPROVAL OF THE RECONSTRUCTED LAYOUT OF THE ROAD WHICH PUTS TRAFFIC RIGHT NEXT TO THE SIDEWALKS THAT HAVE NO BARRIER CURBING TO DEFLECT OUT-OF-CONTROL VEHICLES WITH FROM OUR YARD AND FAMILIES, WHICH NOW TAKE AWAY OUR FRONT YARD USAGE FOR SAFETY CONCERNS. AS WE HEAD STRANSKA THIS NEWICK UP WAS IP PASSING IN THE MIDDLE OF ARTHUR BROWN OUR ROAD WHICH IS USED WHENEVER WE ARE DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT MAKING RIGHT-HAND TURNS INTO OUR DRIVEWAYS, OR HAVING PACKAGES OR PIZZA DELIVERED, OR NORMAL GARBAGE PICKUPS. I RECENTLY WATCHED AND PHOTOGRAPHED A CAR JUMPING -- I AM SORRY, THE OTHER ONE. IRACING WONSAN PHOTOGRAPHED A CAR JUMPING A PACKAGE UP ANY RESIDENTS. A POLICEMAN STOPPED BEHIND IT AND ANOTHER VEHICLE STARTED TO PASS THE POLICEMAN UNTIL I GUESS THE DRIVER REALIZED IT WAS A POLICE MAN.

>> WE ALSO LOST ANY POSSIBILITY OF CURBSIDE PARKING FOR PACKAGE OR PIZZA DELIVERY, OR WHEN WE HAVE EXTENDED FAMILY OVER AND HAVE EVENTS SUCH AS GARAGE SALES, OR EVEN HOUSEHOLD CARS.

WE ARE NOW AWARE OF AN ORDINANCE THAT WAS PUT ON THE BOOKS IN 1960 WAS PROHIBITED CURBSIDE PARKING, THAT A ORDINANCE APPARENTLY DIDN'T APPLY TO THE PREVIOUS RECONSTRUCTED SECTION OF CRESTWOOD BETWEEN BEN JORDAN AND SAM HOUSTON STREETS. ALLOWS CURBSIDE PARKING FOR BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD EVEN ON -- ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE ONLY NINE HOUSES ON ONE SIDE. NOT KNOWING ABOUT THAT ORDINANCE, US 53 HOMES IN OUR SECTION HAD BEEN USING OUTSIDE LANES OF THE PREVIOUS FOUR-LANE LAYOUT OF THE ROAD FOR DELIVERIES, EVENTS AND PARKING AS NEEDED. A LOT HAS CHANGED IN THE HOUSEHOLD THIS 1960S. WITHIN TELEVISIONS SHOWS ARE NOW IN COLOR.

MORE MOTHERS ARE NOT STAND HOMES MOM'S AND NEED CARS. TEENAGERS DRIVE THEMSELVES TO

[00:50:03]

HOUSTON. >> I ALSO EXTEND THE REASONING FOR THE WIDER SIDEWALKS WERE TO ACCOMMODATE PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLES, BUT THEN IT WAS INSTEAD DECIDED TO PUT A STRIP OF GRASS IN IT. YES, THIS LAYOUT IS SAFER FOR TRAFFIC FLOW BUT IS VERY HAZARDOUS FOR US RESIDENTS AS WE SIT IN OUR FRONT YARDS POINTER TO GET IN OR OUT OF OUR DRIVER,

OR EVEN MOLD THAT'S TO PROGRESS TRAFFIC RIGHT BESIDE US. >> IF YOU DRIVE THE 50 MILE-PER-HOUR ROAD, YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE IS NOT CONSTANT BUMPER-TO-BUMPER TRAFFIC, AND THAT SPEAKER AS YOU APPROACH A CAR SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN INTO THEIR DRIVER, IT ONLY MEANS TAKING YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL UNLESS YOU AREN'T TRAVELING 30 MILES AN HOUR OR ARE RIGHT ON THEIR BUMPER. SO WE FEEL THAT THERE IS NO NEED FOR THAT SENTENCE LANE, WHICH

SERVES AS A PASSING LANE. >> BACK TO OFFERING THANK YOUS TO OTHER THAN A DELAGARZA AND COUNCILMAN YOUNG FOR ATTENDING OUR RESIDENTIAL GATHERING LAST FRIDAY.

I ALSO WANT TO THANK SERGEANT BERNARD OF THE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT DIVISION OF THE VICTORIA POLICE DEPARTMENT. AND THANK YOU FOR ALL POLICE BOARD MEMBERS FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THE BADGE. FOR HIS HAVING RADAR SPEED SIGNS INSTALLED TO RECORD THE SPEEDS, DO THEY WORK? AS I LET HIM KNOW FOR ME AS I WATCH AS EAGLE PASS WHEN THE SIGN STARTS FLASHING OVERSPEED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND THE SPEEDS QUICKLY DROP UNTIL THE SIGNED THE FLASHING TERMS -- SHOWING THE OTHER THREE MILE-AN-HOUR SPEED.

>> I ALSO DO THINK THE CITY OF VICTORIA FOR RESTORING ANOTHER QUANTITATION: THAT OF COMING TOGETHER AS A NEIGHBORHOOD, AS WE HAVE GONE THESE PAST FEW WEEKS.

ANYTIME WE ARE SO BUSY WITH WORK AND OUR FAMILIES, THERE'S NO TIME TO THINK ABOUT THOSE THAT LIVE IN BOXES/HOMES DOWN THE STREET. THE CHURCH THAT HOSTED GAVIN CUPP KIDS PLAY WITH OTHER KIDS, NEIGHBORS TALKED WITH NO NEIGHBORS.

THANK YOU FOR OPENING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. THAT WON'T BE THE LAST NEIGHBORHOOD GATHERING FOR RUSS REGARDING TRAFFIC SPEEDS, WE ALL KNOW THAT ONLY SPEED ENFORCEMENT WILL CONTROL SPEED, NOT RESTRIPING SPONTANEITY TO LISTENING TO THE RESIDENCE OF CRESTWOOD, WHO ARE ONLY ASKING FOR THE SAME CONSIDERATION SUPPORTED THE NINE HOMES ON CRESTWOOD BETWEEN BEN JORDAN AND SAM HOUSTON, AND RESTORE OUR RESIDENTIAL RIGHT FOR STREET PARKING. NOW WE PRAY FOR YOU, WE PRAY YOU MAKE RESTRUCTURING CHANGES TO ACCOMMODATE ALL THE CONCERNS THAT THE RESIDENTS OF CRESTWOOD ARE VOICING, FROM FAMILY SAFETY TO CURBSIDE PARKING. HOPEFULLY ALL OF THESE WILL BE ADDRESSED IN A MANNER BEFORE SECTION CURRENTLY UNDER RECONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETED, BECAUSE IT WILL AFFECT AND

EVOLVE THEM AS WELL. >> WE ALSO WANT TO THINK OF VICTORIA ADVOCATE AND DELUSION GROUP FIRST THING RESIDENTS IN GETTING HER CONCERNS EXPRESSED. AND THANK YOU FOR THIS TIME AS

WELL, THE RESIDENCE OF CRESTWOO. >>> THANK YOU, SIR. >>> YOU'RE WELCOME.

>> REPORTER: HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS? WHAT IS OKAY?

>> OKAY, NEXT WE HAVE DENNIS HARR. >>> THANK YOU PUGGLE I WILL JUST LIMIT MY COMMENTS HERE TO OFF-THE-CUFF REMARKS. YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE RESIDENCE POINT OF VIEW, THE ALIENATION OF ANY KIND OF STREET PARKING REALLY PUTS IT AT -- IT REALLY PUTS US AT IMITATION OUR ACTIVITIES. NOT ONLY I HAVE -- WE HAVE FAMILY EVENTS THAT REQUIRE ADDITIONAL PARKING, WE HAVE DELIVERIES, OF COURSE.

AND NOW THAT EVERYBODY IS ORDERING OFF THE INTERNET, WE HAVE PACKAGE DELIVERY MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE. WE HAVE THE POSTAL. YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE PARKING IS GOING TO BE THERE NO MATTER WHAT. I MEAN, WHEN WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT IT WAS A NO PARKING ZONE BACK WHEN THE ORDINANCE PASSED BACK IN THE 60S.

BUT IT DIDN'T OBVIATE THE NEED FOR THE NEED HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE IS ONLY WORSE NOW WITH MORE VEHICLES PER HOUSEHOLD. COMMERCIAL EVENTS, MOVING EVENTS, EVEN LAWN SERVICE, YOU KNOW, REQUIRES A TRUCK AND TRAILER PARK WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO PUT THAT FOR THE DURATION? THERE'S JUST TOO MANY DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATED WITH STREETSIDE PARKING TO ELIMINATE IT. I MEAN, YOU CAN EAT IT ALL DAY LONG BUT YET REMOVE THE NECESSITY. WE HAVE TO HAVE OUR PART BECAUSE

[00:55:03]

WE HAVE NOWHERE ELSE TO GO. >> SPEAKING FOR MYSELF, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT NARROWING LARROCA BUT ON THE SOUTH SIDE THEY ACTUALLY TOOK MORE YARD. I REMEMBER WHEN I GREW UP WHERE BARBARA GENERALLY UNDERSTOOD THAT OUT OR WE CAN HAVE FAMILY PARKING FOR MY MOTHER WHEN SHE HAD CHRISTMAS BAR NOW THERE IS NO PARKING OR IF YOU WANT TO PARK, YOU HAVE TO PARK ON THE LAWN OR PARKED BEHIND. IS BASICALLY WITH A HEALTHIER DIFFERENT YOU GOT ONE.

VEHICLE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE GARAGES ARE ALL TRYING TO DISTORT OR ANOTHER ROOM AND IF YOU STICK ANOTHER CAR BEHIND IT, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A -- SUV -- YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A BUMPER

STICKING OUT TO THE SIDEWALK, WHICH IS EVIDENTLY NOT A. >> I ALSO WILL SAY THAT THEY ARE GOING TO PARK NO MATTER WHAT. SO IF YOU ELIMINATE THE STREET PARKING THEY ARE GOING TO PARK ON THE SIDEWALK THE ARE ALREADY PARK AND THE SELLERS. YOU PNC PARK ANSELEM FOR DELIVERY, POSTIVISTS IS DELIVERING ON THE SIDEWALK WHEN THEY DELIVER THE MAIL.

IT'S THERE. I MEAN, YOU LOOK DOWN THE STREET AND YOU SEE AT LEAST ONE VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF BECAUSE THEY'VE GOT NO PLACE ELSE TO GO UNLESS THEY PARKING ON THE LAWN, SO UNLESS WE REPAVE OUR YARDS NOW FOR THE RESIDENTIAL DENTIST OFFICE, OR ALLOW TRAFFIC TO GROW IN OUR YUCCA WE ARE GOING TO PARK WHERE YOU'VE LEFT US, AND IN THIS CASE IT'S THE SIDEWALK,

SO THANK YOU UNDER ANY QUESTIONS? >>> I HAVE A QUESTION.

AND I APOLOGIZE BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY OFF THE WALL. BUT WHILE IT WAS UNDER CONSTRUCTION IT WAS ONE WAY, AND THERE'S PARKING, PLENTY OF PARKING.

ON THE OTHER SIDE YES, MA'AM. >>> IS ONE WAY A VIABLE OPTION FOR YOU FOLKS KITCHEN I THINK IT'S MORE VIABLE. YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IS WE HAVE TO HAVE STREET PARKING.

I MEAN, THERE ARE SAFETY PRIORITIES AND YOU KNOW, YOU CAN TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE HAVE HIGH-SPEED TRAFFIC UP AGAINST OUR YARDS AND MOTHERS HAVING CONCERN ABOUT THEIR KIDS IN THEIR FRONT YARDS AT ALL. SO WE'VE LOST REALLY HOME ACTIVITY FOR ALL EXTENTS AND PURPOSES. BUT, YEAH, WHEN -- IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR ON CONSTRUCTION, AND PARKING ON THE OTHER SIDE WORKED WELL FOR US. AND, QUITE FRANKLY, IT SLOWED DOWN THE TROPICAL AND NOW THEY DISCOVERED THAT WE'VE GOTTEN TO IN THE CRYSTALLINE TRAFFIC IS BACK UP TO WHAT IT WAS BEFORE. AND NOW THEY MOVE FRIENDS BECAUSE NOW IT'S A CONCRETE RUNWAY PIECE OF PARKING IS REALLY THE BIGGEST ISSUE IN THE SPEEDS AS WELL.

IT'S A NECESSITY. IT. A.

LIKE I SAID, WHATEVER YOU LEAVE US, THAT'S WHAT WE ARE GOING TO PARK ON.

>>> THANK YOU. >>> THANK YOU. >>> I WAS GOING TO ASK, IS THAT SOMETHING WE COULD DO TO MAKE IT A ONE-WAY STREET RIGHT THERE, AND WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WITH THE

REST OF CRESTWOOD? >>> KEEP IN MIND THAT IT'S A COLLECTOR STREET.

>>> OH, WE CAN'T MAKE IT A ONE-WAY >> YES YOU CAN.

>>> I MEAN, THEORETICALLY I DON'T KNOW IF THEY RAISE LEGAL MUTATIONS THAT WOULD PREVENT US FROM DOING THAT UPON WHAT WE NEED TO THINK BIG PICTURE, RIGHT, ROAD NETWORK, RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T GO TO CHURCH FOR RICHARD SUNDAY, SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T LOSE SIGHT OF THE ROAD NETWORK IN ITS ENTIRETY WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT DESIGNATION OF STREETS AND DIFFERENT ELEMENTS. I'M NOT ADVOCATING THAT, BUT I WAS SORT OF TRYING TO THROW IT OUT THERE AND SEE IF THAT DID HELP, BECAUSE IT CLARIFIED THAT PARKING REALLY IS THE ISSUE, FOR

THIS GENTLEMAN ANYWAY. >>> CORRECT BAR AND THAT'S BEEN THE EXPERIENCE OF STAFF AS WELL,

THAT THE PRIMARY CONCERN IS THE PARKING. >>> I WILL ALSO ADD THAT WE DISCUSSED A OPTION OF HAVING A SINGLE SIDEWALK AND STREET PARKING ON BOTH SIDES.

AND WE HAVE A LOT LESS PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC. I UNDERSTAND THE IDEA OF HAVING BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC. MAKES IT IDYLLIC FOR LIVING, BUT IN OUR CASE WE REALLY HAVE STUDENTS WALKING ON THE ROAD LIKE WE USED TO BAR AND IS SINGLE SIDEWALK ON EITHER SIDE WOULD SERVE US WELL AS I DON'T THINK WE HAVE THAT OPTION, THOUGH.

>>> WELL, AB IN THE FUTURE. FIVE YEARS FROM NOW THAT'S GOING TO BE A LOT CHEAPER.

>>> THAT'S A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT, PUBLIC RELATIONS I DON'T THINK WE HAVE A WAY OF SAYING THAT.

>>> FROM MY ALL POINT OF VIEW IT'S RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE, TAKE EXTENDED WIDTHS ON BOTH SIDES FOR TRAFFIC LAW AND GIVE WHAT IS LEFT BY ANY KNIFFLEY OVERHANG ON THE PARKING, IF WE OVERHANG

[01:00:01]

AT THIS THAT WILL ALLOW LANES FOR DELIVERY, AND MOVING HIM AND ALL THINGS THAT ARE NOW PART OF OUR LIFE. AND THEN TOO. THANK YOU.

>>> THANK YOU. >>> THIS IS A QUESTION FOR KEN. KEN, IF WE ALLOW PARKING PART OF THE GARAGE AND THEN JUST DO LIKE THE GENTLEMAN SAYS, WITH THAT DETERIORATE OR LESSEN THE LIFE

OF THE SIDEWALK? >>> YES, BECAUSE THE SIDEWALK IS 4 INCHES THICK WHERE THE PAYMENT IS 8 INCHES THICK. ATYPICAL DRIVER, A DRIVEWAY, IS 4 INCHES THICK.

SO IT'S NOT GOING TO BE -- THEY ARE NOT DRIVING ON IT SO THEY ARE NOT PUTTING THOSE IMPACT LOADS, BUT IT WILL SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THAT SIDEWALK, THERE IS NO DOUBT.

ESPECIALLY HEAVY TRUCKS GET ON IT PLEASE IF UPS IS DOING IT NOW, AND X IS DOING IS NOW.

>>> I AM FINE. IF THEY WANT PARKING, I LET THEM TELL US WHAT YOU WANT AS OUR COMMUNITY WITH RESIDENCES ON THE STREET. I STILL THINK WE ARE DOING -- MAKING A PEDESTRIAN NIGHT AIR, HOPEFULLY IT'S NOT. AND HOPEFULLY PEOPLE CAN CROSS THE STREET IN A SAFE MANNER. THAT THAT'S THE ONLY OPTION PEOPLE ARE THERE MORE PEOPLE.

>>> I HAVE SOME BUT THEY ARE FOR OTHER SUBJECTS. >>> OKAY I WILL BRIEFLY MENTIONED TOO THAT ON THE CONVERSATION OF NORTH VERSUS SOUTH, IF WE WERE TO LOOK AT THAT HUNTER STRICKLAND THERE ARE MORE HOUSES ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE STREET THAN ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE STREET. SO THAT COULD BE A FACTOR AS WELL IN DETERMINING WHAT SIDE OF

THE STREET. >>> ONE IF THEY VOTED IN GROUPS, THE SOUTH SIDE WOULD WIN.

>>> YES. >>> SO HOW MANY HOUSES ON THE SOUTH SIDE VERSUS NORTHSIDE.

>>> CAN YOU REPEAT THE FIRST PART OF THAT? >>> I MEAN, HE SAID THERE WAS 53 HOUSES IN TOTAL. SO HOW MANY ARE ON THE SOUTH SIDE VERSUS THE NORTH SIDE?

>>> I DON'T KNOW. >>> OKAY. >>> I HAVE IT WRITTEN DOWN BUT I

DON'T KNOW NOW. >>> AT FIRST BLUSH IT APPEARS TO BE 15 OR 16 ON THE NORTH SIDE,

AND SO I GET THE BALANCE WILL BE ON THE SOUTH SIDE P OKAY. >>> SO THIS IS OFF-THE-CUFF AND I AM NOT THE CITY ENGINEER SO IT'S GOING TO BE A REALLY CRAZY IDEA.

AND I WOULDN'T PROPOSE DOING THIS MORE THAN ONCE, BUT COULD SOME OF THE PARKING BE ON ONE SIDE AND THEN THE SHIFT, WHICH WOULD, OF COURSE, MOVE THE TRAFFIC LANE, ALSO WOULD GIVE A

LITTLE JOG TO IT, WHICH WOULD DO ANOTHER THING TO SLOW IT DOWN? >>> [INDISCERNIBLE].

>>> ONE SIDE PARKING WE EXPERIENCED DURING INSTRUCTION THEY TAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN

FRONT OF OUR DRIVEWAY [INDISCERNIBLE]. >>> CAN YOU COME TO THE

MICROPHONE, PLEASE. >>> WE CAN HEAR YOU -- WE CAN'T HEAR YOU.

>>> I WAS SAYING THAT, DURING CONSTRUCTION, WHEN WE HAD ONE SIDE PARKING ON THE OTHER SIDE WAS GETTING WORKED ON, WE HAD ISSUES WITH CAR PARKING PART OF OUR DRIVEWAY JUST BECAUSE OF THE PARKING LOAD, AND SO, GOING FOR THEM IF WE GO TO THE SOLUTION WHERE WE HAVE ONE SPOT OR THE OTHER PARKING, WE WILL HAVE ENCOURAGED INTO OUR DRIVER AND WILL HAVE THAT ISSUE PLAYING OUT

ON THE PAYMENT OR WHATEVER. >>> TO SOME EXTENT, THAT IS JUST SOMETHING THAT WE WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH AND OVER TIME BE ABLE TO TALK TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE BLOCKING WIND BUT, I MEAN, THEY GOT TO BE SOME INVOLVEMENT OF THE PEOPLE THAT LIVED THERE ALSO.

>>> THAT'S TRUE. AND THE OTHER THING IS THAT PEOPLE ARE CREATURES OF CONVENIENCE. SO THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF ILLEGAL PARKING ON THE OTHER SIDE ARE GOING TO BE PARKING IN THE SIDEWALK, FOUR-INCH PAN AND ALL.

>>> WELL, I WOULD REQUEST THEY BE TAKEN TO. >>> TICKETED JUST LIKE SPECIES HAVE BEEN TICKETED. LOKU THOSE HAVE BEEN HISTORIC ISSUES.

>>> I THINK PRECEDENT WITH THAT STANDPOINT, WE NEED TO BE SENT. AND PARKING IS DONE ON ONE SIDE AND ITS ILLEGAL ON THE OTHER SIDE, THE CITY AT ONE TIME WOULD EVENTUALLY HAVE TSP THAT'S TRUE.

BUT YOU STILL HAVE DELIVERIES THAT PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO WALK ACROSS TWO TAINTER STREET

TRAFFIC FLOW TO DELIVER PIZZA OR PACKAGE. >>> I DON'T KNOW, PEOPLE PARK IN THE MIDDLE OF JOHN STARK POWER WHEN DELIVERING BIRTHDAY DELIVER IN THE MIDDLE.

THAT'S OUR OPTION NOW. AND I WAS NEVER COMFORTABLE WITH HANGING OUT IN THE MIDDLE AND

PARKING ON THE HIGHWAY. >>> COULD BE A DELIVERY HIKER ONLY LANE?

[01:05:11]

>>> WELL, I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE THAT WITH ALL THIS INFORMATION THAT MAY BE RELATED

STAFF TAKE ABOUT ALL THIS AGAIN. >>> AND BRING IT BACK. >>> IS AN INVESTOR TO COME UP

WITH THE ANSWERS BECAUSE MINE ARE GOING TO GET EVEN WILDER. >>> I DON'T KNOW, I THINK TED BOY'S OPINION THAT NOT PARKING IN THE SIDEWALK WAS THE DEPARTMENT OF GESTATION EDICTS BUT HE CIRCLES TO NOT PARKING FOR THE DRIVER SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS, NOT TO HAVE ANY SIDEWALK PARKING AT ALL PAUSE SO MY OWN OPINION IS GIVE US PARTIAL PARKING BETWEEN THE STREET AND SIDEWALK IF THERE IS ANY DISTANCE TO BE MADE UP. EVERYBODY IS HAPPY AND THEY'VE GOT THE SHORTEST DISTANCES TO THE FRONT DOOR. AND WE'VE GOT TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC FLOW AWAY FROM OUR FRONT YARDS -- OR HALF YARDS LONG AND THIS IS THE QUESTION WHETHER YOU ALLOW SOME OVERLAP BETWEEN THE STREET AND SIDEWALK PARKING IN MY OPINION.

>>> DISAGREE WITH YOU ARE SAYING TO LEAVE THE TWO 13 LANES FOR TRAVELING, I THINK THE OTHER 14,

DIVIDED BY TWO AND THEY WILL BOTH HAVE THAT. >>> EXACTLY.

>>> BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE 9 FEET A MINIMUM OR PARKING, SO NO ONE GETS PARKING IN THAT SCENARIO.

>>> RIGHT ON AND I AM NOT QUITE SURE HONESTLY AND UNCONSCIOUSLY ALLOWING FOR PARKING ON THE SIDEWALK IS DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMENDED BY ANY PROFESSIONAL ON THIS SIDE OF THE EQUATION.

>>> RIGHT. >>> BECAUSE OF THE PEDESTRIAN CITY COMPONENT OR WHETHER ONE PERSON OR A HUNDRED PEOPLE THAT USE THE SIDEWALK, WE ALSO HAVE A POSSIBILITY TO THE INTENT OF THE

SIDEWALK AND THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO UTILIZE IT. >>> RIGHT.

>>> WE ARE GOING TO BE SIGNING A LOT OF CITIZENS FOR PARKING ON THE SIDE UP BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT

YOU LEFT. >>> WE ARE LOOKING INTO BECAUSE THAT'S NOT -- WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING SOME ENFORCEMENT PARKING ON THE SIDEWALK IS NOT ALLOWED, AND I WANT YOU TO SHARE THAT WITH ANYBODY LISTENING AND ANYBODY IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, PARKING ON THE SIDEWALK IS NOT A

SOLUTION. IT'S NOT A SOLUTION ANYWHERE. >>> THEN GIVE US ONE SIDE AT

LEAST. >>> OKAY. >> WE HAVE SOME MORE PEOPLE THAT

WANT TO TALK, SO MIKE PATTIE ANSON. >>> I'M NOT SURE IF THAT IS THE LAST SEASON ON THAT TOPIC BUT I WILL CIRCLE BACK THAT STAFF WILL CONTINUE LOOKING AT THOSE OPTIONS. AND SO WE WILL BRING BACK SOME THIS ISSUE INFORMATION.

>>> I THINK THAT'S THE LAST ONE BECAUSE I HAVE THREE MORE BUT THEY ARE ON ANOTHER TOPIC.

PLUS I HAVE A MICHAEL TEAR, AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHO HE WAS WITH. >>> HE IS WITH THE THEATER.

>>> WITH THE THEATER? >>> REPERTORY THEATER. >>> WELL, I'M SO BECAUSE I DO HAVE ANOTHER MICHAEL P I CAN COME BACK. NO, YOU OKAY.

>>> WELL, HELLO, I AM MICHAEL TICKET EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR THE VICTORIA AND I WANTED TO COME IN AND SEND A BIG HUGE THANK YOU TO THE CITY AND THE PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT.

UYGHURS PRESENTED FROZEN AT THE PARK AND IT WAS A HUGE SUCCESS AND IS NOT JUST OUR SUCCESS BUT I FELT LIKE IT WAS A CITY SUCCESS. AND I WANTED TO COME AND SERVE GIVE HOMAGE AND THINK THE PEOPLE THAT MADE THAT POSSIBLE. YOU KNOW, MISSES TRACY WAS A HUGE SUPPORTER WAS A GREAT ARTIST WE HAVE HERE IN VICTORIA TEXAS.

AND I LOOKED AT THE PLAQUE OUT THERE AND OUR NAME IS ON THAT PLAQUE.

AND I FELT ASHAMED BECAUSE WE HAD NEVER USED IT BEFORE YOU KNOW.

BUT AND I THINK LEAVING THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME, BEING AT THE WIELDER CENTER, FOR THE REASON WHY WE NEVER USED IT. HE REALIZE HOW COMFORTABLE YOU ARE IN YOUR OWN HOME UNTIL YOU LEAVE YOUR OWN HOME, AND I WILL NATURE IS INSERT NEW GUIDELINES WHAT THAT IS ALL ABOUT HER BUT WE WERE HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO FULFILL HER DREAM OF ENJOYING THE ARTS, THE GREAT OUTDOORS AND ON THE VICTORIA STARS AND I DO LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE CITY AND BEING ABLE TO DO A LOT MORE USE PRODUCTIONS OUT THERE. I THINK IT'S A WONDERFUL VENUE, AND WE'VE GOTTEN SO MANY POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM FAMILIES THAT CAME OUT TO ENJOY THE PARK IS A SHAME THAT SOME PEOPLE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHERE THE PARK WAS. BUT WE WERE GLAD TO BE ABLE TO SHOWCASE THAT PARKING LEAVE BRING AND HIGHLIGHT ITS -- REALLY ITS BEAUTY.

SO LIKE I SAID, I WANTED TO COME AND SAY THANK YOU TO THE PARKS AND REC AND THE TRANSFORMATION INTO THE CITY FOR HAVING THAT MANY OF THEIR. SO THANK YOU -- HAVING THAT

VENUE OUT THERE. SO THANK YOU. >>> OKAY, I HAVE MICHAEL.

[01:10:03]

YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO TAKE A MICHAEL. >>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME, CITY COUNCIL. THEIR POTHOLES IN THE TRAILER PARK, AND I REALIZE THE CITY OF PRETORIA ISN'T RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU KNOW. BUT THEY ARE DANGEROUS.

CONTRACT THAT HE HAD COMING BACK ANYMORE. HE ALMOST FLIPPED IT.

HE'S NEVER COMING BACK, AND IT WAS A YEAR AGO. AND THE UPS TRUCK COMES AND THEY HAVE TO WORK REAL FAST SO THEY CAN KEEP THEIR JOB. THE FANEX PEOPLE HAVE TO WORK REAL FAST AND THE TRUCKS ARE LIKE ROCKING BACK AND FORTH AND LOOKS LIKE A SWAMP YOU KNOW,.

AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE TRAILER PARK OWNER HAD NO INTENTION OF FIXING IT, AND I WAS WONDERING IF THERE'S ANY CODE VIOLATIONS THAT CITY OF VICTORIA CODE ENFORCEMENT OR FIRE MARSHAL COULDN'T WRITE HIM UP ON TO MAKE AND FIX THE POTHOLES AGAINST HIS WISHES? YOU KNOW, HE IS A PROMINENT ATTORNEY. YOU KNOW, MONEY IS NO PROBLEM.

AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SCARED TO SPEAK UP BECAUSE HE MIGHT STRAIGHTEN EVICTION OR TO RAISE THE RENT. BUT I'M NOT SCARED OF IT YOU KNOW.

AND I WAS THANKFUL FOR THE CITY OF VICTORIA FOR STANDING UP TO HIM.

A LOT OF STUFF HE REFUSED TO FIX AND THEY CITED HIM AND FIND HIM AND MADE HIM FIX ALL THIS STUFF AND TAKE CARE OF IT, BUT IT IS A DANGER. I WISH I COULD PUT SOME KIND OF SIGN SAYING DANGEROUS POTHOLES, DIRECT YOUR OWN RISK OR SOMETHING.

WE HAD THE FIRE MARSHAL COME IN HERE LOOKING FOR CRIMINALS, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

SHARE'S DEPUTY, CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, DOG PROTECTIVE SERVICES.

AND WE HAD WASTE MANAGEMENT, THE GARBAGE TRUCK, AND WE HAD PEOPLE PARKING IN THE MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD BECAUSE THEY HAVE LAWN CARE SERVICES AND THERE IS NOWHERE ELSE TO PARK.

WE HAVE PEOPLE HAVING TO CUT THROUGH PEOPLE'S FRONT YARD BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH THE SWAMP. AND YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GETTING ANOTHER ALIGNMENT, SUSPENSION, NEW TIRES ARE AND THE TRAILER PARK OWNER HAD NO INTENTION OF FIXING IT.

AND I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THERE'S ANY CODE VIOLATIONS TO WHERE THEY CAN MAYBE LEGALLY MAKE HIM FIX IT, YOU KNOW. AND THAT'S IT. THANKS FOR LISTENING TO ME, I

APPRECIATE IT. >>> THANK YOU MICHAEL. >>> SANDRA MCKENZIE.

>>> MAY PLEASE YOU FOR MY BEING HERE TONIGHT. I AM HERE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT A PROPOSAL THAT IS IN PLAY HERE. I THINK SOME PEOPLE HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT ALREADY, AND THAT IS A HAZARDOUS WASTE FACILITY FOR MELTING HEAVY METAL. IT'S A GRAVE THREAT TO OUR COMMUNITY BOTH FROM AN ECONOMIC STANDPOINT AND A PUBLIC HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL STANDPOINT.

I KNOW SOME MAY THINK WELL, IT'S DOWN BY THE PORT, BUT SPEAKING OF COMPETITION TONIGHT, THIS FACILITY PLANS ON BRINGING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF TONS OF STEEL WASTE THROUGH OUR TOWN.

MEANWHILE, SOME OF IT IS COMING FROM SUTTON, GRANTED. BUT THERE'S ALSO STEEL DUST IN OTHER LOCALES, AND THERE'S NO GUARANTEE THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE BRINGING THAT MATERIAL IN THE TRAINS OR THROUGH THE ROADS IN VICTORIA. AND IN THEIR APPLICATION FOR A PERMIT TO POLLUTE, THE COMPANY CITED FOUR COMPANIES THAT ARE COMPARABLE TO THEIR OPERATION OF WELLS KILNS. AND I LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF THOSE FOUR OPERATIONS, AND TO MY DISDAIN AND CONCERN IS THIS -- THESE ARE THE CONSENT ORDERS THAT HAD BEEN PLACED ON THOSE

OPERATIONS. >> THIS ONE ALONE IS PALMER'S IN PENNSYLVANIA, WHERE 2,000 ACRES WOULD BE FOLIATED AND 200 HOMES HAD TO BE SCRUBBED. AND IT WAS DEAD AND THE CHILDREN, THEY WERE DISCOVERING LATE IN THE CHILDREN'S SCHOOLS 3 MILES AWAY OR ONE HALF MILES

FROM THE FACILITY. >> NOW, TO BE FAIR, PEMBERTON WAS A MINING OPERATION.

BUT THEN THEY CAME IN AND PUT THE WELLS KILLED IN. AND WHEN I STARTED READING ABOUT

[01:15:02]

IT RELEASES MERCURY AND LEAD AS WELL AS TO ACCEPT, WHICH COMBINED WITH WANTED TO MAKE SULFURIC ACID, WHICH IS ACID RAIN SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER ABOUT THE INCIDENT RAIN BACK IN THE 70S IN NEW ENGLAND, THIS MAY BE ONE OF THE PLACES, PALMERTON, WHERE IT WAS

DISCOVERED. >> SO I WOULD ASK THAT YOU SERIOUSLY STUDIED THIS MOTHER AND I HAVE GONE TO THE MATERIAL, AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO E-MAIL YOU THESE CONSENT DECREES ISSUED BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT AGAINST THESE FACILITIES. AND I'VE ALSO MADE A LIST OF QUESTIONS THAT I DO THINK NEED TO BE ANSWERED BEFORE WE AGREE TO ACCEPT THIS FACILITY HERE.

>> AND I LEARNED IN MY RESEARCH YOU KNOW, WE HEARD ABOUT WOULD SIT, BUT THERE IS ALSO MUCH IN THE INTERNET REFUTES THIS FACILITY OR WELLS KILN FACILITY, THEY MOVED TO LOGANSPORT.

SO IF I MAY APPROACH, I'LL GIVE YOU THE RESEARCH THAT I DID THAT -- LET ME SEE WHERE IT IS.

BUT I ASK YOU TO REALLY STRONG WILL LOOK INTO THIS. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, BUT REALLY LOOK INTO IT AND REQUEST A PUBLIC HEARING AND A CONTESTED CASE HEARING, SO THAT WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO INVESTIGATE THIS FURTHER. THANK YOU.

>>> I AM GOING TO GIVE THE DOCUMENTS TO THE GENTLEMAN. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR RESEARCH. >>> I KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE COMMENTS, DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS?

>>> THE ITEM ISN'T POSTED ON THE AGENDA SO IT CAN'T BE DISCUSSED. >>> THANK YOU.

>>> NEXT WE HAVE ELIZABETH THAT I CAN SEE HER LAST NAME -- LINSKY.

AND REMIND YOU IT'S LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES, PLEASE. >>> ASKED MAMA.

>>> THANK YOU. >>> MATT LACOSSE SEMENYA, KUNZELMANN, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK THIS EVENING, MINUS IS WITH LINSKY AND AND SPEAKING WITH 15 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE HERE IN VICTORIA BUT I COME SPECIFICALLY TO YOU ABOUT ZINC RESOURCES, ELECTRIC ARC FURNACE, DOXYCYCLINE FACILITY, SPECIFICALLY IN REGARD TO ITS LEAD EMISSIONS.

ACCORDING TO THEIR APPLICATION, ZINC RESOURCES' PERMIT DISCLOSED THAT THEY WILL BE ANNUALLY ADMITTING UP TO 164,000 TONS OF CARBON DIOXIDE, NEARLY A HUNDRED TONS OF COBALT, 61 TONS OF NITROGEN OXIDES AND ABOUT 35 TONS OF OTHER POLLUTANTS. SO WHAT ARE THOSE OTHER POLLUTANTS? THEY INCLUDE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS, LED, SULFUR DIOXIDE, AS MS. MCKENZIE MENTIONED, AND PARTICULAR MATTER WITH DIAMETERS OF TEN TO 25 MICRONS OR SMALLER.

THEY COULD GO THROUGH MY AND 95 MASK RIGHT HERE. SO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE POLLUTED WITH THOSE CONTAMINANTS, YOU NEED A V100. I AM FAMILIAR TO EVERYONE THAT FAMILY WITH HAZARDS OF LEAD DUST. PRINTED ME TO WRITE A ARTICLE TO THE ADVOCATE. IT RAN TODAY. I AM GOING TO BRIEFLY READ IT IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO REALLY GET TODAY. "A LOCAL NURSE IS 15 DEGREES ARE MATURE CONCERN WITH THE HEALTH APPLICATION OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING OF ZINC RESOURCE RESOURCES HAZARDOUS WASTE WAS AGAIN FACILITY IN VICTORIA COUNTY.

WE KNOW THAT THESE FACILITIES COMMIT THAT DUST EVEN WHEN OPERATING WITHOUT EMISSIONS VIOLATIONS. SCIENCE HAS SHOWN THAT THE HAZARDS OF LIVING IN SUCH FACILITIES TO INCLUDE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE WHICH CAN CAUSE VASCULAR CHANGES THAT INCREASE YOUR RISK FOR STROKE, AND HEART ATTACKS, AMONG OTHER THINGS. OTHER HEALTH CONJUGATES INCLUDE ORGAN DAMAGE, MISCARRIAGE, STILLBIRTH, RICHER BIRTH AND LOW BIRTH WEIGHT THAT ACCUMULATE SILENTLY IN THE BODY OVER TIME UNTIL ARTICLES ARE REACHED, MOST DON'T EVEN KNOW THERE'S A PROBLEM. CHILDREN ABSORB FOUR TO FIVE TIMES MORE LEAD WHEN EXPOSED TO

[01:20:01]

UNFORTUNATELY THE FACILITIES HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO CAUSE GROUNDWATER AND SURFACE CIRCULATION WITH CHROME, VANADIUM TO NAME A FEW BOXES IN ADDITION TO LEAD US ALREADY THIS CLOSE TO BEING ADMITTED BY AS A NURSE I CARE ABOUT EVERYONE'S HEALTH IN OUR COMMUNITY.

DESERVES TO BE POISONED BY FACILITY THAT WE DON'T EVEN NEED TO KEEP OUR LOCAL ECONOMY AFLOA.

IS BRINGING ONLY 60 JOBS. LINSKY HAS ALREADY RESORTED. EMPLOYER TWO, HE IS THERE PERMI.

THE LINK -- THE LINK IS AN EDITORIAL THAT RAN TODAY. IN ADDITION I COME TO YOU TODAY ASKING THAT YOU ESKELSEN AND COUNCILWOMAN AND MAYOR PRO TEM WOULD DIRECTLY LOBBY OUR STATE REPRESENTATIVES. I CAN WRITE THEM, I CANNOT BID THEM, I'M JUST A CITIZEN.

YOU GUYS HOLD A HEAVIER TITLE THAN I DO. I REALLY FEEL THAT YOU HAVE A DUTY TO HANDLE THE COMPLAINTS OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS. CONSIDER THIS MY COMPLAINT.

I DON'T WHAT THIS IN OUR COMMUNITY. I DON'T WANT FOR MYSELF, I DON'T WANT FOR YOU ALL, I DON'T WANT FOR ANYBODY OUT HERE, I DON'T WANT FOR MY SON.

I DON'T WANT HIM TO GROW UP AROUND US. COSMAN BAUKNIGHT WOULD ALSO LIKE TO CONGRATULATE YOU ON WINNING THE ELECTION. THANK YOU PI ALSO EXCITED TO SEE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE RUNNING FOR MAYOR. I SAW YOU PUT THAT IN YESTERDAY.

THIS WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU SPECIFICALLY TO SHOW YOUR POTENTIAL VOTERS THAT YOU DO CARE ABOUT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE LIVING IN OUR COMMUNITY.

I PHYSICALLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO PLEASE CONTACT OUR STATE DESIGNERS PALMITATE THIS WAS FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. I HAVE ALSO PRINTED MY SOURCES SINCE THEY DIDN'T RUN IN THE ADVOCATE THE. IF IT'S OKAY, I'D LIKE TO HAND THEM OFF.

THANK YOU. >>> THANK YOU, ELIZABETH. JAMES HURST WE HAVE ANY OTHER CITIZENS WHO WISH TO SPEAK TO US TO VIDEOCONFERENCE? OKAY, THANK YOU.

ITEMS WITH PUBLIC HEARINGS, APRIL. THERE ARE NO ITEMS WITH PUBLIC

HEARINGS THIS EVENING. THE CONSENT AGENDA. >>> MS. MISS SALITA, I TOTALLY FORGOT THAT I WANTED TO POOL D: EIGHT AND FORGOT TO SAY THAT DURING THE ITEMS FOR COUNCIL.

MAYBE TO DO THAT? >>> YES. >>> I HAVE A BRIEF QUESTION.

DO WE ALREADY HAVE ITEMS FROM COUNCIL? >>> COUNCIL CAN PULL ITEMS.

>>> BUT DO WE HAVE ITEMS FROM COUNCIL. >>> WE HAD A COUPLE.

>>> MARKET WE HAD TWO ITEMS. >>> I'D LIKE A MOMENT. >>> OKAY, I'M SORRY.

>>> ABOUT FIVE MONTHS AGO, JOSIE ASKED WHEN WE WERE GOING TO GET STUFF FOR MANUAL CONTROL ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF ANIMALS IN A HOUSEHOLD. AND I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY IT HASN'T COME TO US. AND I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT VICIOUS ANIMALS. THERE ARE STATE LAWS, IF A DOG KILLS OR HER TO HUMAN FORM BUT IF A DOG KILLS ANOTHER DOG, A BRUSDAR, MARK TABAR VERY LITTLE CONSEQUENCES TO THAT.

I'D LIKE WHEN THIS IS BROUGHT TO US THAT WE HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT IT, BECAUSE IN MANY OF AN EXAMPLE A PERSON IS WALKING THEIR DOG IN A LIST ARCHITECT THEIR DOG AND KILLED IT.

AND I THINK IT'S SOMETHING WE SHOULD DISCUSS PART OF THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO BRING UP WAS SALEM ROAD PART IT'S A TEXTILE ROAD PART IS FOUR LANES TO THE TURN LANE IN THE MIDDLE.

THERE IS VERY LITTLE LIGHT ON THIS ROAD AND AT NIGHTTIME IT'S LIKE YOU CAN SEE THE STARS.

I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF IT IS A TEXTILE ROAD WE ARE PROBABLY REPORTS OVER THE LAST NUMBER IS

THERE ANY WAY YOU CAN GET MORE LIGHTING ON SALEM ROAD. >>> ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT WHERE

IT MEETS ROUTE 463? >>> OR LOCAL WACOM ALL THE WAY FROM NAVARRO ALL THE WAY, IS

VERY DARK IS OH, OKAY. >>> JUST A COUPLE COMMENTS OBVIOUSLY FROM A FACTUAL COMPONENT, SINCE THE TOPIC ISN'T LISTED. BUT REAL QUICK, MARKS ON THE ANIMAL ORDINANCE PART OF IT, AS YOU KNOW THAT IS A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COUNTY HEALTH

[01:25:09]

THE ANSWER I THINK A FEW WEEKS AGO HAVE RECEIVED SOME SUGGESTED CHANGES FROM THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT RELATED TO ANIMAL-R ELATED ORDINANCES BUNKBED IS SOMETHING STILL UNDER REVIEW AND WE PLAN TO BRING FORWARD IN THE NEAR FUTURE SO THAT IS MOVING BUT WAS DELAYED SO ONE OF THE HEALTH SCIENCES THEY ARE THE ONE THAT INITIATED IT.

>> SPECIFICALLY TO THE ANIMAL, AND ANIMAL PART OF IT, THAT CAN BE PART OF THE CONVERSATION, AND SO WE WILL LOOK AT THE PROS AND CONS OF INCORPORATING AN ORDINANCE THAT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT ANIMAL ATTACKING ANIMAL. WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE OTHER CITIES THAT HAVE THAT TYPE OF ORDINANCE. HOURS IS CURRENTLY NOT THAT WAY. SO WE CAN HAVE ALL THAT CONVERSATION ON THE SAME DAY WE ALSO KNOW THAT THE RALLY PLANS RELATE TO ANIMAL CONTROL, THERE IS SOME ROW FOR US TO PLAN TIFFANY HAD THE GREAT JOB HELPING A SPECIFIC WEBPAGE FOR RESIDENTS THAT WANT TO SUBMIT COMPLAINTS RELATED TO ANIMAL BITES OR ANY OTHER ISSUES.

WE NOW HAVE A VERY SPECIFIC FORM THAT CAN BE FILLED OPERABLE TO PERFORM AN OUTLINE FOR ANIMAL ISSUES AS WELL. AND SO WE FEEL LIKE THIS FOR THE PART THAT WE ARE POSSIBLE FOR, WE'VE IMPROVED. BUT AGAIN THE APPARITION ITSELF AND THE SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS ARE WITH THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND SO WE WILL BE WORKING WITH THEM HAND-IN-HAND IN THE NEAR

FUTURE TO BRING THAT TOPIC FORWARD. >> AS IT RELATES TO LIGHTING, AS WE'VE MENTIONED IN OUR WORKSHOPS YOU KNOW, OUR CITY IS VERY DARK. AND SO WE CAN LOOK AT SALEM AND INDEPENDENTLY OR JUST A OVERALL APPROACH, BUT WE CAN LOOK INTO THAT AS WELL.

I DON'T KNOW IF THOMAS WANTS TO ADD ANYTHING ON THE ANIMAL PART. >>> I WOULD JUST ADD THAT MY DEPARTMENT IS REVIEWING THE SUBMISSION CENTER FROM ANIMAL CONTROL DIVISION.

WE ARE REVIEWING IT PARTICULARLY FOR DISABILITY LANGUAGE AND WILL BE RESPONDING BACK TO ANIMAL CONTROL BACK AND FORTH VERY SOON BUNKBED IS SOMETHING WE PLAN TO BRING TO COUNCIL SOON THE FUTUR.

>>> I'M SORRY JUST IT WAS ALREADY -- OKAY. >>> MADAM, MAY I APPROACH AS EASILY AS WELL? YOU KNOW, MICHAEL TEAR CAN APPEAR SPOKE BUT I DO WANT TO GIVE A BIG SHOUT OUT TO THEATER VICTORIA BAR THEY PUT ON A EXCELLENT PROGRAM WITH FROZEN JR. I SAW JEN HERE. YOU KNOW, I WENT TO TWO PERFORMANCES. I DID HAVE A DAUGHTER IN IT, SO THAT BUT INCREDIBLY ENJOYABLE.

THE HILL OVERLOOKING THE AMPHITHEATER IS A FANTASTIC ASSET TO VICTORIA.

I HOPE THAT IS USED MUCH MORE IS INCREASES THE USE OF THAT FACILITY THAT HE IS COUNCIL'S HAD PUT UP, AND INCREASE REALLY OUR LIVABILITY AND ENJOYMENT OF THE ARTS AND USE OF THAT FACILITY. SO KUDOS TO YOU ON A GREAT PERFORMANCE, AND LOOK FORWARD TO

MANY MORE WHEN WE'RE OUT THERE. THANK YOU. >>> I HAVE ONE MORE ITEM.

I WILL BRING IT UP MORE DETAIL NEXT WEEK. BUT IF YOU ALL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO LOOK AT THE DOCK THERE IS NEXT TO THE PUMP HOUSE, THE PLEASURE OF BEING A TEXAS WATER PRACTICE RACE, IT CAN BE A LITTLE DANGEROUS GETTING OUT RIGHT THERE.

AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THROUGH THE PARK'S MASTER PLAN NEXT WEEK.

BUT IF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TAKE A LOOK AT IT, IT WILL BE GREAT.

>>> I'M A LITTLE BIT OLDER THAN YOU, AND I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE PATTERN FLOW A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. AND US OLD FOLKS HAD A LOT OF TROUBLE GETTING OUT

KAYAKS. >>> IT'S NOT EASY GETTING OUT. YEAH, I SAW ONE OF THE RACE CONTESTANTS FALL JUST TRYING TO GET FROM THE DOCTOR THE STAIRS, AND JUST COMPLETED A 3-MILE RACE, ONLY TO GET INJURED TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE WATER. IT WAS DISHEARTENING.

BARTCH IF YOU WEREN'T THERE, HUGO DO IT SOMETIME, 500 PLUS PEOPLE MILLING AROUND, GETTING OUT AT THAT LAST SPOT AT THE PUMP HOUSE IS A REALLY NEAT EVENT.

>>> ANYMORE ITEMS FROM COUNCIL? THANK YOU. >>> OKAY, THE CONSENT AGENDA NO.

I JUST WANT TO DOUBLE CHECK.

>>> IS THE TRUCKS CURRENTLY DO THINK THAT RIGHT AND THEY HAVE TO SWING OUT INTO THE TURN LANE I BELIEVE. THEY HAVE TO GET TWO LANES OUT. THAT I'M NOT GOING TO DENY.

ONE THING WE ARE LOOKING AT IS INTERESTING IS ON THAT CORNER THERE IS A PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.

AND WE HAVE TALKED TO THAT DAVID OLIVER ABOUT GIVING US SOME ADDITIONAL RIGHT-OF-WAY SO THAT MAYBE DURING THIS TEXT DOCUMENT THERE WORKING OUT MEANING -- THAT MEETING IN SECTION WE CAN INCORPORATE A TURN LANE IN THEI. BUT WE HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM THAT DAVID OLIVER AND HAVEN'T HAD A WHOLE LOT MORE CONVERSATION THAT TECH STUFF. BUT THEY WILL HAVE TO SWING WID.

>>> THAT'S IT. >>> ANYMORE DISCUSSION? >>> ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.

>>> MINE. >>> ALL THOSE OPPOSED?

ARE WE OKAY? >>> I'LL GO QUICK PREVIOUS HER. >>> THIS ONE IS BROUGHT UP TO OUR ATTENTION. WE HAVE HAD SOME ISSUES ARE THE MAIN IS COLLAPSED IN PORTIONS OF IT AND WE WANTED -- THIS IS ON OUR CIP THAT WE PRESENTED BACK IN MARCH AND WE ARE JUST SPEEDING THIS OF. WE ARE HAPPY TO PUMP THAT DOWN, THE MANHOLE DOWN, AND DUMP IT, AND IT'S JUST ONGOING EVERYDAY. SO HE WANTED TO GET THIS PROJECT SPEED UP OR WE HAVE SOME FUNDS IN SOME PROJECTS THAT CAME IN UNDER, AND THIS GETS US STARTED ON THE DESIGN, SO THAT WHEN OCTOBER ROLLS AROUND, WHOM, WE ARE READY TO BID IT AND GET THIS PROJECT FIXED.

>>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNCIL I WILL SCROLL THIS ANGLE QUICKLY.

WE CAME AND TALKED TO YOU ALL ABOUT A MONTH AND HALF AGO ABOUT THIS PROGRAM.

THE STATE HAS GIVEN US $315,000. WE ARE GOING TO ADD $200,000 TO THAT YOUNGER AND -- EXCUSE ME.

WE ARE -- SO THESE ARE SOME BERLINER DRAWINGS THAT WE GET FROM THE STATE.

WE JUST GOT THE LAST WEEK. THIS IS A GOOD VIEW OF KIND OF WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT, THE RAYS BREAK BAD IDEAS. SO THIS IS A GOOD VIEW. BUT WHAT AND WHAT TO DO IS I AM GOING TO GO THROUGH. WE ARE LOOKING AT NATIVE TREES. THIS IS NOT ALL THE TREES WE ARE LOOKING AT BUT THIS IS KIND OF A LIST JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA. AND A PICTURE IN THE LOWER RIGHT-HAND CORNER IS KIND OF THE WAY IT WOULD LOOK. SO YOU HAVE THE TREE BUT THEN YOU HAVE THE UNDERGROWTH'S MISSION YOU KNOW, KIND OF FILL IN SO IT IS NOT AS SPARSE

LOOKING AS IT CURRENTLY IS. >> SO LOOKING AT THIS, THIS IS THE NAVARRO INTERSECTION GO YOU SEE THE TWO EXISTING BEDS THAT WE HAVE ON THE OPPOSITE CORNERS OF THEIR.

AND WE WOULD HAVE THE TWO RAISED BEDS ON THE CORNER WITH PLANTING IN FRONT OF IT, AND THEN THE

ADDITION OF THE TREES WITH THE UNDERGROWTH. >> SO THIS IS KIND OF JUST A MOCKUP OF WHAT ONE OF THOSE INTERSECTIONS WITH THAT FLOORBED WOULD KIND OF LOOK LIKE WITH THE

TREES RIGHT BEHIND IT. >> THIS IS THE EXTENSION AND JOHN STOP BAR, SO SIMILAR TO WHAT IS AT NAVARRO. OPPOSITE CORNERS ON THE GROUND LEVEL THAN WHAT WE DID WITH NAVARRO. WE DID THAT BY ITSELF IS ABILITY COMING OUT OF THE MALL AND COMING UP JOHN STOCK POWER WHICH IS WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO SEE MUCH OF THAT EXITING AND GOING ONTO THE HIGHWAY PARCEL YOU WILL SEE THE BEDS AND PECAN WHERE WE WILL PUT THE TREES, SOME AS EXISTING AND SOME WILL BE REPLACED OR ADDED TO AND THAT WILL HAVE UNDERGROWTH AS WELL.

AND EXTENDS OUT ONTO THE RAMP GOING ON TO ROUTE 463. >> I WANT TO JUST MAKE SURE THAT COUNCIL UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS CONTRACT THAT WE ARE DOING WITH THE STATE, THIS IS PART OF THE PERIMETER THAT WE HAVE TO DO WITH THE STATE. WHEN WE GET THE FINAL FINAL WITH THE DRAWINGS AND EVERYTHING, BECAUSE YOU NOTICE THESE ARE NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS, WE

[01:40:01]

BUT THIS IS A PRELIMINARY WITH THE STATE; THIS IS NOT THE FINA. WE WILL BE COMING BACK WITH THE FINAL PART OF THIS IS JUST SO THE STATE NOW THAT WE ARE IN THIS AND THEY CAN MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT DOING A BUNCH OF WORKING ON SAYING WE ARE NOT BE INTERESTED.

AND I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS BY THE WAY, JOSIE, YOU GOTTA SUICIDE BUT, SCOTT, YOU GET A GOLD ONE REMEMBERING 20 SECONDS PER HOUSE. I HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT THAT

PROBABLY IN FIVE OR SIX YEARS. I MOVED TO ADOPTION OF E TO. >>> SECOND.

[1. Victoria Public Library 2020 Annual Report. Dayna Williams-Capone, Dir...]

>>> WE HAVE CITY MANAGER REPORT. >>> YES, MA'AM. SO WE HAVE THREE TOPICS TO DISCUSS WITH YOU THIS EVENING. THEM TO ANNUAL REPORTS AND THEN A DISCUSSION ON THE CAP WHICH COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN OTHER ITEMS FOR COUNCIL SINCE WE WILL BE PRESENTING INFORMATION BASED OF INPUT AND DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL AND SCOTTOTT BARBOT PRESENTER FOR THE ANNUAL REPORTS AND SET UP WITH THE ANNUAL REPORT THAT REPORT OUT THE LAST TIME HE'LL.

JUST MAKE SURE WE DON'T WISH THEM OUT AGAIN. AND SO THAT'S, OF COURSE, OUR LIBRARY AND I'M GOING TO ASK DAYNA TO COME UP AND TAKE IT FROM HERE.

>>> THANK YOU. >> SO GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. SO TONIGHT MY ASSISTANT DIRECTOR, JESSICA BERGER AND I, ARE GOING TO GO PRESENT ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE LIBRARY FOR 2020.

JESSICA HAS WORKED IT BPL WERE ALMOST 20S AND HAD BEEN MY DIRECTOR FOR FIVE YEARS.

SO OUR PROCESS TONIGHT, I AM GOING TO GET THINGS STARTED ON THAT SHE'S GOING TO COVER SOME

TOPIC IN THE MID AND AMBER TO WRAP THINGS UP AT THE END. >> SO AS YOU KNOW 2020 WAS A YEAR UNLIKE ANY OTHER, AND THIS REPORT IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN THE USUAL BECAUSE OF THAT. WE'VE HAD TO MAKE A LOT OF ADJUSTMENTS.

>> SO DESPITE THE JOONAS CHALLENGES WE FACE IN 2020, WE STILL ACCOMPLISHED A LOT.

AND SO LOOKING BACK ON 2020 I WAS VERY PLEASED ON SOMETHING THAT WE WERE ABLE TO COMPLETE.

I AM GOING TO GO THROUGH THOSE QUICKLY. >> STARTING IN MARCH WE LAUNCHED A TOTALLY COMPLETELY NEW SET OF PROGRAMMING VIRTUALLY. THAT WAS DUE TO THE PANDEMIC.

WE HAD TO CREATE A GET STARTED WITH THOSE PROGRAMS WITHIN 24 HOURS.

WE WERE TOLD WE ARE SITTING DOWN AND LIKE, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO, HOW ARE WE GOING TO STAY CONNECTED TO THE COMMUNITY SO CREATING VIRTUAL PROGRAM WAS A QUICK TURNAROUND.

IN ADDITION WE ALSO CREATE OUR CURBSIDE PROGRAM. THAT IS WHERE WE ALLOW PEOPLE TO DRIVE UP TO OUR HORSESHOE DRIVE ON COMMERCIAL STREET AND WE WOULD PUT BOOKS OUT ON THE BACK DOCK IN A BAG AND THEY CAN PICK THEM UP ON SO THEY WOULD CALL OR TEXT OR E-MAIL US AND SAY, I WOULD LIKE TO PICK UP THESE ITEMS. PULLED THEM AND HAVE THEM READY FOR THEM. SO THAT WAS ANOTHER PROGRAM THAT WE CREATED REALLY QUICKLY.

THAN MOVING ON TO APRIL, APRIL WE COMPLETED OUR RECOVERING PROJECT.

AND IT WAS ON TIME AND IT ALSO HELPED TO HAVE THE BUILDING CLOSED.

WE WERE CLOSE TO THE PUBLIC DURING APRIL. THAT --

>>> WE WERE SMART IN PUTTING IT OFF FOR A YEAR OR TWO, HUH? >>> YES, YES EASY GREAT

FORESIGHT. >>> DEFINITELY. >> SO WE COMPLETED THAT PROJECT AND THEN, IN JULY, WE ENTERED INTO A NEW CONTRACT FOR OUR INTERNET SERVICES.

YOU HAVE ALSO HEARD ME REPORT ON THAT. WE WERE ABLE TO BENEFIT FROM THE E PARKER RIDGE PROGRAM WHICH PROVIDES INTERNET COSTS FOR SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES.

USUALLY IN THE PAST ARE INTERNET IS HER NOW $14,000 ANNUALLY AND ME WITH THAT 80 PERCENT DISCOUNT ARE PAYING AROUND 6000 AND YOU AND ALSO IT WAS A BIG HUGE BENEFIT TO US TO BE PART OF E-RATE. THEN IN AUGUST WE STARTED A NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH MEALS ON WHEELS WHERE THEIR CULTURE ABLE TO RECEIVE BOOKS FROM CLIENTS AND ARE DELIVERED WITH THEIR MEAL.

SO THEY WANT TO BE PART OF THE LIBRARY PROGRAM, THEY CAN GET THEIR BOOKS DELIVERED BY THEIR

WILLS ON MEALS VOLUNTEERS. >> AND THEN IN OCTOBER WE WERE VERY EXCITED TO FINALLY START THE PARTNERSHIP WITH VISD, WHERE WE ARE PROVIDING E-BOOK ACCESS TO THEIR STUDENTS WITH STUDENT ID. SO IF A STUDENT HAD A STUDENT ID WITH VISD, THEN THEY CAN GET ACCESS TO E-BOOKS OVER OUR PROGRAM AT THE PUBLIC LIBRARY AND THAT PROGRAM IS CALLED TSORA

[01:45:11]

ABOUT THAT LATER HERE IN OUR PRESENTATION. >> AND THEN IN NOVEMBER WE WERE AWARDED ALMOST $25,000 FROM THE TEXAS STATE LIBRARY TO CREATE A MULTIFUNCTIONAL VIRTUAL MEETING SPACE IN OUR LIBRARY. IN THAT PROJECT, WE HOPE TO HAVE IT COMPLETED BY AUGUST, WHEN ALL THE REPORTING IS DUE TO THE STATE. SO WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON

THAT AND SHOULD HAVE THAT READY TO GO BY AUGUST. >>> I HAVE A QUESTION ON THAT

SLIDE. >>> SURE. THE ONE WITH VISD STUDENT E-BOOK

ACCESS. >>> SPC DOES VISD NOT HAVE A LIBRARY CARD AND WHAT IS

DIFFERENT THAT THEY DON'T OFFER E-BOOKS AND WE DO? >>> THEY DO NOT -- WELL, THEY HAVE LIBRARIES BUT AS FAR AS THEM, I ASSUME THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A E-BOOK PARTNERSHIP OR HAVE PAID FOR A E-BOOK PROGRAM LIKE WE DO WITH THE COMPANY, LIKE OVERDRIVE IS ONE OF THE MAJOR ONES WE USE. THEY MAY HAVE OTHER RESOURCES THAT ARE ONLY FOUR SCHOOLS.

BUFFER COMPANY THAT WE HAVE A CONTRACT WITH OFFERED THIS TO SCHOOLS AT NO EXTRA CHARGE, SO WE ARE NOT PAYING EXTRA FOR, IT'S JUST THAT EXTRA PIECE OF ACCESS THE STUDENTS.

SO THEY OPEN THAT UP IF THE SCHOOL IS OPEN TO DOING THAT ON AND THE SCHOOL ALSO HAD TO DO CERTAIN THINGS TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE OKAY WITH ALLOWING THEIR STUDENTS HAVING THAT ACCESS.

AND SO IT WAS AN AGREEMENT THAT THE COMPANY WORKS WITH VISD ON OUR BEHALF WITH THEM.

BUT THERE IS NO EXTRA CHARGE TO US TO OFFER THAT TO THEM. >>> THAT'S GREAT AND SAVES

DUPLICATION OF SERVICES. >>> YES IT DOES, YEAH. THAT'S GREAT, THANK YOU FOR

THAT INFORMATION. >>> SURE. SO THE PROCESS OF WHAT WE TRADITIONALLY COUNT JUST WENT OUT THE WINDOW THIS LAST YEAR. WE WERE CLOSED FROM LATE MARCH UNTIL JUNE 1ST TO THE PUBLIC. WE WERE STILL IN THE BUILDING AND WE WERE STILL PROVIDING ACCESS THE SERVICES. BUT THAT REDUCTION IN HOURS AND BEING CLOSED AND CITIZENS CONCERNS SURROUNDING THE PANDEMIC, IT CREATED DECREASE IN THE USE OF OUR PHYSICAL ITEMS. SO IN THAT MIDDLEBOXES AT THE TOP, WE SAW A 27 PERCENT DECREASE IN PHYSICAL ITEMS CHECKED OUT, EVEN THOUGH WE ARE OFFERING CURBSIDE SERVICE. AND SO THAT WAS A 27 PERCENT DECREASE. BUT THE INTERESTING THING IS THAT OUR E-BOOKS HAD A 30 PERCENT INCREASE. SO WE SAW THAT SHIFTING. AND AS I TOLD YOU OVER THE YEARS, THAT E-BOOKS DON'T COMPLETELY YOU KNOW, REPLACE PHYSICAL, BUT YOU SEE THESE MOVEMENTS AND LIKE CHANGES IN USE BASED ON THINGS LIKE PANDEMICS AND DIFFERENT THINGS

THAT CREATE THOSE BARRIERS TO SERVICE. >> SO TO THAT CHANGE.

AND THEN WE ALSO HEARD A LOT OF REALLY POSITIVE COMMENTS FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO REALLY APPRECIATED THE CURBSIDE SERVICE. AND WE HAD 1500 USES OF THAT SERVICE FROM MARCH UNTIL DECEMBER OF 2020. AND WE CONTINUE THAT SERVICE TODAY EVEN THOUGH WE ARE OPEN, BECAUSE WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT APPRECIATE IT.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE ARE STILL CONCERNED, AND SOME PEOPLE HAVE PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS, AND IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR THEM TO JUST DRIVE UP THE PICKUP BOOKS AND GO ON THEIR WAY.

>> OUR NUMBER OF CARDHOLDERS, IT REMAINS STEADY, RIGHT AROUND 40,000.

AND OUR USE OF INTERNET COMPUTERS, BECAUSE WE WERE CLOSE, DROP QUITE A BIT.

SO THAT USAGE WENT DOWN. WE ARE SEEING NOW THAT GO UP AGAIN WITH THE BUILDING BEING OPEN, AND WE HEARD A LOT OF COMMERCE WHEN WE REOPEN A LOT OF PEOPLE SAID, I REALLY MISS THIS,

I REALLY WANTED THAT ACCESS. >>> DAYNA, DOES THAT NUMBER LOOK LIKE IN A NORMAL YEAR?

>>> WELL, ACTUALLY IT'S ABOUT TRIPLE THAT PARCEL WE ARE TALKING CLOSER TO 70,000 USE OF INTERNET AND WI-FI COMBINED. SO IT WAS QUITE A DECREASE HONOR EVEN THOUGH WE OFFERED WI-FI OUT INTO THE PARKING LOT, I MEAN, WE DID GET SOME USE OUT THERE. BUT IT JUST REALLY PUT A DAMPER ON THAT INTERNET USAGE BEING CLOSED, AND HAVING THAT, THE PHYSICAL INABILITY TEASER

DESKTOP COMPUTER, TO ACCESS INTERNET. >> SO AN EASY WIN FOR US, AS I ALREADY MENTIONED WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE THING WITH IST STORM SAID THAT PROGRAM TO DECEMBER OF 2020 WE GAINED 67 NEW USERS THAT WERE ALL STUDENTS AND THEY CHECKED OUT 2700 ITEMS.

[01:50:06]

>> ALL RIGHT, NOW, I AM GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO JESSICA AND SHE IS GOING TO TALK ABOUT PROGRAMS SPECIFICALLY, AND ABOUT IN HIS ABILITY TO THE BUILDING -- ABOUT ACCESSIBILITY TO THE BUILDING.

>>> GOOD EVENING, COUNSELORS AND MAYOR PRO TEM. I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE LIBRARY STAFF AND THE AMAZING JOB THEY DID THIS PAST YEAR. I NEED TO MOVE THIS A LITTLE BI. I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE LIBRARY'S ACCESSIBILITY. ON FRIDAY, MARCH 20TH, THE LIBRARY WAS NOTIFIED THAT WE WOULD CLOSE TO THE PUBLIC OR THE END OF THE DAY. THAT PARATUS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY IN THAT WE HAD A CHANCE TO DEVELOP A NEW PLAN AND REWRITE HOW WE PROVIDE SERVICE.

BY THE FOLLOWING MONDAY WE INTRODUCED A CURBSIDE PICKUP, WHICH ALLOWED PATRONS TO CHECK OUT ALL OF OUR LIBRARY MATERIAL. WE WERE ALSO AVAILABLE BY PHONE AND E-MAIL TO ASSIST AS NEEDED

SO WE WERE ALWAYS ON: READY. >> OUR GOALS WERE TO MINIMIZE THE DISRUPTION OF SERVICE MIGHT BE AVAILABLE AND ACCESSIBLE WHICHEVER WAY WE COULD, AND MAINTAIN OUR CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNITY. WE HOPE THAT THIS CHART GIVES YOU AN OVERVIEW OF HOW WE ACCOMPLISH THERE. WE WERE AVAILABLE AND CONTINUED LIBRARY OPERATIONS 292 DAYS OF

THE 340 SCHEDULED DAYS OPEN FOR LAST YEAR. >> PROGRAMMING THROUGH CORONAVIRUS. WE HAVE OFFERED A VARIETY OF VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING SINCE MARCH OF 2020. MARTIN SEMENYA TO ESTABLISH A STRONG ONLINE PRESENCE SINCE THAT TIME. AS YOU CAN SEE WITH OUR 69,108 TOTAL VIEWS OF 2020.

AND LIVE VIEWS IS REAL-TIME, AND TOTAL VIEWS IS WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE PROGRAM BEING AIRED.

THAT'S HOW WE COUNT THOSE NUMBERS. >> SINCE OUR FIRST VENTURE INTO VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING WE HAVE OFFERED 123 YOU PROGRAMS AND 72 ADULT PROGRAMS. THEY RANGE FROM STORYTIME LIVE TO CRAFT VIDEOS FOR CHILDREN, AND PORK TALKS AND MUSIC

PERFORMANCES FOR ADULT'S. >> BY THE FALL OF LAST YEAR WE WERE NOTICING SOME SUCCESS WITH DRIVE-THROUGH PROGRAMS THAT WERE OFFERED WITHIN THE COMMUNITY PARCEL WITH THOSE IDEAS IN MIND OUR TIM WRONKA PLAN AND CREATED OUR GINGERBREAD ON MAIN DRIVE THROUGH AND PICK UP EVENT.

ON THAT DAY, WITH THE HELP OF OTHER CITY DEPARTMENTS, WE WERE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY DISTRIBUTE 200844 CRAFT KITS, AND AS WE HEAD CRAFT STATION THAT EACH CORNER OF DELEON PLAZA.

WHO ARE ABLE TO SAFELY NOT THOSE KIDS TO 350 CAR THAT WENT THROUGH OUR LINES, AND OUR STAFF GET TO SEE SO MANY FAMILIES AND SMILING FACES THAT WE HAD NOT SEEN THE WHOLE YEAR.

>> BEFORE MARCH, 2020, THE LIBRARY HAS NOT OFFERED ANY VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING.

AND DURING THIS TIME OF THE FIRST STORYTIME BEING AIRED, WE WERE STILL UNSURE OF WHAT SUSPENSION IN PERSON PROGRAMMING MEANT. WE DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS GOING TO BE TEMPORARY OR LONG-TERM THING. SO HERE'S A CLIP OF OUR VERY FIRST STORYTIME THAT AIRED JUST DAYS AFTER CLOSING TO THE PUBLI.

>>> I AM MS. MISS ALLI. I MISS REBECCA. >>> AS YOU COULD SEE, OUR TEAM QUICKLY DROPPED A PLANE AND CREATED THIS VIDEO. WE KNEW WE HAD TO EXPAND BECAUSE THEY WERE PARENTS AND CHILDREN THAT WERE NOW AT HOME SOMETHING IN PLACE AND TRYING TO STAY SAFE

AND HEALTHY. >> HERE'S A CLIP OF WHERE WE ARE NOW

[01:55:14]

WHAT TIME IS IT, ANYWAY? IT'S SPRINGTIME. >>> AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE SECOND VIDEO, WE HAVE IMPROVED THE OVERALL QUALITY. WE MADE ADJUSTMENTS AS NEEDED, IMPROVED EQUIPMENT, AND ALLOWED FOR MORE FOCUS TO BE ON THE SPEAKERS, AS WELL AS MADE INTRODUCTIONS FOR ALL OF OUR VIDEOS, SO THEY ALL HAVE AN OPENING TO IT.

>> WITH A LITTLE TRIAL AND ERROR WE WERE ABLE TO FIND WHAT WORKED IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND WE PLANNED A SUCCESSFUL ONLINE SUMMER READING PROGRAM ALONG WITH OTHER VIRTUAL PROGRAMS FOR ALL AGES.

>> LOOKING AHEAD. LAST YEAR ALLOWED US THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND OR REACH AND PROVIDE NEW SERVICES. WHAT WE TAKE WITH US FROM LAST YEAR ON THE CURBSIDE SERVICE AND THE VIRTUAL PROGRAMS. NOW INSTEAD OF JUST IN PERSON OR ONLINE, YOU WILL SEE MORE HYBRID

EVENTS WITH IN PERSON PROGRAMS WITH VIRTUAL COMPONENTS. >> AND LAST YEAR THE CHANCE TO DEVELOP THE STRENGTH OF SOME PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE COMMUNITY TICKETED TO PROVIDE TO STUDENTS ACTIVE COLLECTION THROUGH THE SOLAR APP. WE HOPE TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE LIBRARY MATERIALS AND CRAFT SUPPLIES TO SENIOR CITIZENS THERE ARE MEALS ON WHEELS PARTNERSHIP. WE HOPE TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE CHILDREN'S DISCOVERY MUSEUM TO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR EACH OTHER IN COMMUNITY EVENTS ARE AND WE HOPE TO ADD MORE DAYCARES TO OUR DAYCARE PROGRAM, WHICH NOW HAS EIGHT DAYCARES REFERRED TO STUDENTS IN THEIR PROGRAM.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME, AND I'LL HAND IT OVER TO DAYNA. >>> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU,.

SO I REPORTED ON OUR LIBRARY WE FLOORING PROJECT NEXT SPRING, BUT I JUST WANTED TO DO A QUICK REMINDER THAT LAST YEAR THIS PROJECT WAS COMPLETED ON TIME, IT WAS STARTED IN LATE MARCH AND FINISHED BY THE LAST WEEK OF APRIL. THE CONCERT GOES OVER $180,000.

THE SHELVING AND FURNITURE WERE COMPLETELY RESET AND HAS A MUCH MORE CLEAN UP AND LOOK IN OUR INTERIOR. ALL OF OUR SERVICE DESKS COMBINED INTO ONE MAIN DESK AND

REINSTALLED NEW SIGNAGE THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING. >> FIGURE ABLE TO REOPEN THAT BUILDING ON JUNE THE FIRST AFTER ABOUT A TWO-MONTH CLOSURE. AND WE STILL TODAY CONTINUE TO RECEIVE GOVERNMENT AS PEOPLE ARE CALLING BACK INTO THE BUILDING AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN IN FOR THAT LONG AND THEY SAID, OH, MEANWHILE, IT LOOKS SO NICE AND NEW.

SO WE ARE PLEASED WITH THAT PROJECT. THEN INEVITABLY COMPLETED THAT SOFTWARE MIGRATION TO THE SYSTEM I MENTIONED BEFORE CALLED APOLL THIS MIGRATION WENT SMOOTHLY.

I WAS REALLY PLEASED WITH IT, AND WANTED TO JUST RECOGNIZE KTVL AND CATHERINE HENLEY FROM THE LIBRARY STAFF THAT WERE LEADS ON THAT PROJECT. THEY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB.

WE HAD EXITED A PROJECT WITHIN 24 HOURS OF STARTING THE MIGRATION PROCESS, AND WE WERE ABLE TO START CHECKING OUT TO OUR PUBLIC POINTING HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THAT, USING THOSE FIRST FUNCTIONS. AND WE HAD EVERYTHING FUNCTIONING WITHIN ONE MONTH,

ALL THE ACCESSORY PIECES. >> IT IS ALSO PROVIDING ABOUT $15,000 ANNUALLY AND SEES AS COMPARED TO OUR PREVIOUS SOFTWARE SYSTEM. APOLLO PROVIDES EASIER ACCESS TO BOTH FUNDING OUR PHYSICAL AND DOWNLOADABLE ITEMS ALL IN ONE PLACE PARCEL IF YOU FIND ANY BOOKS, HE CAN CLICK ON. TICKETED E-BOOK SITE TO DOWNLOAD POLICY THAT'S A NICE IMPROVEMEN.

YOU ALSO CAMPUS RESERVES BY THE LIBRARY OR RESERVE ITEMS THAT AREN'T EVEN PUBLISHED YET BUT I BY A FAVORITE AUTHOR. AND ONCE WE RECEIVE THAT ITEM, YOU'LL BE PUT ON HOLD, THEN YOU'LL RECEIVE A CALL OR TEXT THE STATES READY FOR YOU TO PICK UP.

>> ALL OF OUR CARTONS HAVE 24-7 ACCESS TO THEIR ACCOUNT. THEY CAN TEXT THE LIBRARY TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE ITEMS OR FIND OUT THE STATUS OF AN ITEM. THEY CAN ALSO PAY FINES OR FEES WITH A CREDIT CARD ONLINE NOW, SO WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT OPTION.

>> SO OVERALL WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE DUTIES OF THE NEW SYSTEM -- CAPABILITIES OF THE

AND 20 PLAN FOR THE ANDRES RUIZ EXPANSION. IMPROVE THE LIBRARIES INDICATION CONNECTION WITH CARDHOLDERS TO A NEW CUSTOMER RELATIONS MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE.

AND WORK WITH OUR FRIENDS AT THE LIBRARY SO THEY CAN BETTER SUPPORT LIBRARY GOALS AND

SERVICES. >> SO LOOKING BACK ON 2020, I WOULD CALL IT THE YEAR OF ADAPTABILITY AND INNOVATION FOR THE LIBRARY STAFF. I HOPE THAT I HAVE CONVEYED THIS TONIGHT. BUT TO WRAP UP CAR DURING THIS LAST YEAR, LIBRARY STAFF WERE THROWN INTO A SITUATION THAT REQUIRED THAT WE LEARN NEW SKILLS, SUCH AS A VIDEO PRODUCTION THAT WE SHOWED. THE VIRTUAL PROGRAMS, VIRTUAL MEETINGS.

WE DEVELOPED NEW SERVICES, SUCH AS CURBSIDE PICKUP AND HOMEBOUND DELIVERY.

WE COMPLETE CHANGE MARKETING ACCOUNTING AND TRACKING. WE COMPLETED SEVERAL MAJOR PROJECTS. AND I THINK THAT WE STAYED CONNECTED AND OFFERED NECESSARY SERVICES ROUTED ALL -- THROUGHOUT IT ALL. SO IN CLOSING I WANT TO SHOW YOU A FACEBOOK POST THAT WE PUT ON OUR LIBRARY PAGE ABOUT ALMOST A YEAR AGO TODAY.

IT WAS A PICTURE OF ALL OF THE STAFF, AND EACH STAFF MEMBER IS HOLDING AWARE THAT WHEN COMBINED SAID THE FOLLOWING: "FROM ALL OF US TO ALL OF YOU, WE HOPE YOU ARE WELL AND LOOK FORWARD TO BECOMING YOU BACK TO OUR LOCAL LIBRARY SOON. WE MISS YOU, FROM VICTORIA PUBLIC LIBRARY POLITICAL WE ARE VERY HAPPY THAT WE ARE REOPENED TO THE PUBLIC AND ONCE AGAIN SERVING OUR USERS IN PERSON OR VIRTUALLY AS NEEDED.

THEY ALREADY HAD IT IN PLACE. THEY CREATED CODE WHAT THEY WROTE: THERE THAT WE KNEW IT WAS A QUARANTINE SELECT CRETINOUS CONFUSION FOR PUBLIC AND STAFF TRYING TO FIND ITEMS. AND THAT WAS ANOTHER PLUS OF THE MIGRATION. HE ANSWERED MY FOLLOW-UP

QUESTION, THANK YOU. >> ANCHOR 2: OKAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>>> THANK YOU, DAYNA. >>> THANK YOU, DAYNA. >> SO NEXT UP WE HAVE ANOTHER

MIAMI LED TO HURRICANE HARVEY TOGETHER, I LEARNED THAT HE USED -- [INDISCERNIBLE] HE KNOWS

I'M A VOLKSWAGEN VAN SO GOT TO LEARN SOME NEW STOMACH. >> A BIT ABOUT OUR TORRINGTON IMAGES SO YES IN JANUARY 2020 WAS IN WATCHING COVID-19 VACCINE -- COVID-19 AT THOSE THINGS THAT PEOPLE WERE NOT FULLY AWARE OF IT. AND METAIRIE CEMETERY YEAR, 2020 ON WHAT WE WANTED TO DO WITHIN THE UIC ITSELF AND GEMINI LOOKING AT HER AND SAID JANUARY IS GOING TO BE VERY DIFFICULT MONTH FOR US PUNCTURE ENOUGH WHEN IT CAME AROUND TO GET WORSE AND THERE WE WERE IN MARCH AND FALL ON ON ON THE INNOVATION PRITONI VINTAGE IN THIS VISION INNOVATION AS WE ACCOMPLISH A FEW OF THOSE ON MOST OF EVERYTHING THAT WAS WAYLAID BY THAT LITTLE COVID-19 PIECE THERE'S A WEEK HAD TO QUICKLY ADAPT EVERYTHING WE WERE DOING.

WE FAILED TO MEET OUR WAY TO YOU READY CAMPAIGN BECAUSE THE CORONAVIRUS RESPONSE WE WERE HAVING THEIR BUT WE DID DO SOME EOC RECESSION, PHILOSOPHICAL ADJUSTMENTS HE HAD THAT CAME ALONG WITH THE CORONAVIRUS. ANDREW THOMAS A NEW WAY OF DOING BUSINESS ON HOW WE DO THINGS WITHIN OUR EOC. THE PER HOUR HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS GUIDE, WE DID ISSUE

[02:05:05]

>> SOME 2020 CAPTIONIST WE HAD: AND I WILL KILN BRIEFLY GO OVER THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I WANT TO GET TO THE OTHER SLIDES HERE IN A MINUTE WHERE THE DATA IS. I WANT TO KEEP -- WE HAD A LOT OF COVID-19 OPERATIONS ARE OBVIOUSLY MANY OF YOU WERE INVOLVED IN THAT AND MANY OF YOU SAW THAT AND IT IS BASED ON THINGS WE HAD GOING ON. I'LL GO INTO THE STEPS IN THE SECOND BAR ON TOP OF THAT WE ALSO TAUGHT AT PRETORIA POLICE DEPARTMENT -- R-III APUSHKINA, PRETORIA, POLICE ACADEMY, WE TALK AT THE ACADEMY THERE AND CONTINUED OUT THE FUNERAL FOCUSES ON HER, HAVING ALSO SEEN A RESPONSE AND CARES ACT ASSOCIATED TO IT AND A FEW OTHER THINGS. I AM LISTED ON THE HURRICANE SEASON AND ALYSSA DOWN WE ARE IN BED BUT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO UNDERSTAND THAT HURRICANE 23 SHE WAS A UNPRECEDENTED SEASON FOR US. MANY OF YOU PROBABLY KNOW THAT SUZANNE 30 MAIN STORMS WHICH IS

UNHEARD OF IN HISTORY. >> ANCHOR: OF THE BECOMING HURRICANES AND SIX OF THOSE BECOMING MAJOR. ANSWERS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US TO NEVER LET UP THE PLANNING AND PREPAREDNESS WAVE ASSOCIATED TO HURRICANE SEASON WE LIVE IN A TROPICAL ENVIRONMENT AND BE PREPARED FOR SOMETIMES SEASON IT WILL BE REACTIVE IN THE ATLANTIC SEASON AND IS SOMETIMES THE WE HAVE GOT A VERY ACTIVE PACIFIC OCEAN SEASON AS WELL. SO WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE SEVERAL THINGS. BUT IT WAS VERY TO SING ON THAT BECAUSE WE HAD 30 NAMED STORMS ON THAT ONE YEAR ALONE ALSO WE WERE RATHER BUSY WITH THAT AS WELL LEARNING HOW TO ACCOMMODATE OURSELVES AND EOC, OPERATION CENTERS ASSOCIATED TO CORONAVIRUS WITH THINGS WE ARE

GOING TO DO. >> WITH FEELING ABOUT THE CM RESPONSE WAS REALLY ASTOUNDING WHEN WE STARTED LOOKING AT STAT. DESIGN STATS BE PULLED FROM OUR COUNTERPARTS SOCIAL MEDIA SITES AS IN CITY VICTORIA, VICTORIA COUNTY OR VICTORIA PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, THIS IS ONLY FROM OUR SOCIAL MEDIA SITES AND OUR WEBSITES. IS WITHIN THE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER ITSELF WE HAD 50 INSTANT ACTION PLANS ARE SITUATION REPORT THAT WE DEVELOPED THAT MANY OF YOU PROBABLY TOOK PLACE AND WE HAD A PREVENTATIVE MORRISON TAKE PLACE IN THOSE BORROW THE CONFERENCE OFFICE TO PLAY SINGLES. AND 160 POLICY AND COMMAND AND HOSPITAL MEAN THAT WE CONDUCTED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. BEGAN PRESS CONFERENCES.

I CANNOT GET OVER HOW MANY PRESS CONFERENCES WE ACTUALLY HELD, HOW MANY TIMES PEOPLE WERE DOWN IN OUR EOC. I THINK WAS A GREAT EFFORT ON THE PAO TEAM AND CITY AND COUNTY AND 90 PERCENT HAD SUNK TO CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE BY EVERYBODY, TOGETHER WITH SOME FANTASTIC TALKING POINTS FOR KELSEY GETTING OUT INFORMATION. MAY HAVE THE ARMCHAIR QUARTERBACKS THAT WERE THERE CASUALLY THROWING THINGS AT US BUT IN ALL REALITY WE GET THE MESSAGE OUT THAT WE ARE GETTING INFORMATION ON ESSENTIALS WE COULD.

>> WHEEL SEVEN COVID-19 TESTING SITES. WE HAD SOME DIFFICULTY WITH THOSE. WE KNEW WE WERE GOING TO HAVE DIFFICULT WITH THEM.

ENCOUNTERED DIFFICULTIES AND RISKS OF LET THEM. WITH 372 SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS JUST ON OUR WEBSITE AND FACEBOOK PAGES ALONE PUMP WITH THE RESTORED -- HE REACHED OUT TO FIND 9,000 PEOPLE SOCIAL MEDIA. STARR COUNTY VITERI HEALTHY -- D'ERRICKA THE HEALTH BARS, ACTUALLY TEAM TOUCHING TO CITY SITES AS WELL SO A LOT OF TIMES -- MOST OF THE TIME THAT WAS US IN OUR PAGES, SO PRETTY ASTOUNDING HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY TEST WITHIN THAT FIRST

YEAR. >> A BIT ABOUT EMPLOYEE ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

THE ONE PERSON WE ARE GOING TO FOCUS ON IS JENNA HIGHS IN THE BUT WE ALSO PROVIDE A COURSE THROUGH THE END A LOT OF THEM WILL BE ONLINE OR THROUGH VIRTUAL LEARNING THAT WE DO BUT ALWAYS BEEN TOTIPOTENT THREE EXERCISING RELATIVELY COUPLE DIFFERENT WORKSHOP ON BUT JENNA HERSELF STOOD UP FROM EVERYONE ELSE AND WE HAD COME BACK FROM PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION CALLED IT MEANS THE MANAGER ASSOCIATION TEXAS IN FEBRUARY AND JENNA ATTEMPTED TO TRY TO GET HER EMT TEM CERTIFICATION WHICH SHE DID. WE VOLUNTEERED HER TO VOLUNTEER FIRE SUPPLICATION -- AND ALSO GET HER EMT SYNDICATION TO VICTORIA COUNTY AND SHE SUCCEEDED IN ALL THREE OF THOSE.

THAT GIRL BUSY ALL THE TIME ON AND SO I CANNOT GIVE HER ENOUGH KUDOS THAT SHE DID A GREAT JOB.

IT WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE A PROFESSIONAL IN OUR FIELD. JESSICA CAME TO OUR OFFICE BEFORE SHE HIT SO JESSICA DIDN'T START TO OUR OFFICE, DID NOT KNOW WHAT SHE GOT HERSELF INTO.

SHE SPUN UP PRETTY FAST, CANNOT SPEAK ENOUGH ABOUT THESE TWO FOLKS THAT I WORK WITH DAILY.

THEY ARE FANTASTIC AND I THINK MANY OF YOU ALL PROBABLY KNOW THAT WHEN YOU SEE THEM DAY IN

[02:10:02]

AND DAY OUT. >> WITH THAT ARE 21 VISION IS COMMITTED TO RESILIENCY SO WE ARE GOING TO TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED THIS TIME.

THE FIRST THREE ARE ALREADY ONGOING, CEDAR PARK A VACCINATION DISTRIBUTION AND RECOVERY BUT LAST YEAR WE ARE EMBARKING ON VACCINE DISSOLUTION PLANNING PROCESS AND WERE INVOLVED WITH THE STATE IN THE PROCESS AND MOVE ALL THE WAY THROUGH UNTIL WHEN YOU SAW IN JANUARY OF THIS PAST YEAR OR 2021 IN AN ACTUAL EXECUTION PLAN ITSELF PARCEL WE WERE HEAVILY INVOLVED IN THAT PART OF THIS CARRIED OVER THIS YEAR. WAS TO GO TO GO FOR EMERGENCY OPERATIONS REDESIGN. RESORT TO PHILOSOPHICAL CHANGE THINGS AND HOW WE DO BUSINESS ON THEIR PHONE AND ALSO DISASTER RECOVERY GRENADA POSITION AND FINALLY WE ARE GOING TO SEGUE

INTO THE NEXT PIECE FOR ME. >> DISASTER RECOVERY COORDINATION IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO RESPOND WE SAW THIS -- I PUT UP DATA JUST FOR A BRIEF UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WE'VE GONE THROUGH MORROW 2007 JUNE FLOODING, IF ANY OF YOU REMEMBER THAT AFTER 15 OF RAIN -- 15 INCHES OF RAIN THAT TOOK US THREE TO FIVE YEARS RECOVER FROM THAT EVENT.

AND ALL WERE DOWN. THE ONE IS NOT PUT DOWN THERE WITH AN ATTENDEE AT FORT MANY OF YOU WERE HERE FOR THE NIGHT TEAM 98 FLOOD, HISTORIC RECORD FLOOD OF THREE FULL .5 FEET OF WATER CAME TO OUR COMMUNITY, AND WE'RE STILL RECOVERING THAT TO THIS DAY.

IS GOING TO BE A ONGOING 20-30 YEARS OF FLOODPLAIN CHANGE, MAP REVISIONS FROM FEMA'S ONE PLANE ADMINISTRATION, ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT OCCURRED ON BUT IT WAS KEY FOR US, AND RECOVERY TIMEFRAME OFTEN TIMES WE HAVE A SUNNY DAY THAT OCCURS WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY TO MANY OF OUR MANY MEMBERS BUT THOSE ARE AFFECTED OR STAY IN THAT RECOVERY ELEMENT FOR A VERY LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

AND SO IS VERY KEEN FOR US THAT WE START LOOKING AT THAT RECOVERY ASPECT AND HOW WE DEVELOPED A FRAMEWORK WILL GO TO IN THE NEXT DAY JUST TO HELP SUPPORT THOSE PEOPLE IN OUR

COMMUNITY. >> HURRICANE IKE IS STILL OUT THERE THIS SORRY TO HURRICANE HARVEY IS STILL OUT THERE, STILL RECOVERING FROM IT AND WILL CONTINUE TO RECOVER FROM IT FOR SEVERAL MORE YEARS. COVID-19, I KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE HERE BEFORE WE RECOVER FULLY FROM IT, THE ECONOMIC IMPACT THAT IT HAS, AND SERVICING PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

AND, OF COURSE, WHICH IS STORM YOU'RE LOOKING AT 2-4 YEARS PUT UP WITH THAT RECENTLY I LOOK AT DAVID TODAY WITH THE SUMMARY FROM THE FEMA ASSISTANCE PROGRAM WE HAD ABDUCTED HUNDRED PEOPLE APPLY FOR FEMA ASSISTANCE IN OUR COMMUNITY PARCEL IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE THAT THERE ARE FOLKS OUT THERE THAT ARE NEEDING HELP AND ARE GOING TO NEED ASSISTANCE.

>> SO ONE OF THINGS REPRESENTING AND I THINK MANY OF YOU SAW THAT I PRESENTED SOMETHING TO COMMISSIONERS SUPPORT THE OTHER DAY, AFTER TALKING WITH JUDGE SAYLOR AND ALSO A CITY MANAGER WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THE ONSET OF BRINGING ON A NEW POSITION WITHIN OUR OFFICE, ADEQUATE TO BE IN RECOVERY STAFF, DISCOVERY STAFF RECORD -- RECOVERY COORDINATOR.

THE FOCUS WILL BE RECOVERY AND MITIGATION FACTS IN THE AFRICA BUILDING OUT THE FRAMEWORK OF RECOVERY AND MOVING US TO THAT ELEMENT, OFTEN TIMES WHEN WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE RESPONSE WE ARE ALREADY STARTING RECOVERY, AND THAT RECOVERY WILL CONTINUE FOR YEARS ON END.

AND SO TALK TO CITY MANAGER ABOUT IT AND I SAID DECIDED THIS PRESENTATION HERE'S EVERYBODY, BE AWARE THAT AN EVENT WHICH IS BEEN TO PRESENTATION, INTO DISASTER COORDINATOR RECOVERY POSITION I CAN ANSWER THOSE. THE PERSONETTE WILL BE FACILITATING THAT DISASTER RECOVERY CASE FOR US, WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE THIS ENERGY THAT WE HAVE FROM THE 98 FLOOD IN 2005 FROM HURRICANE KATRINA OR RITTE, 2008 HURRICANE IKE. OFTEN BECOME OUT OF THE EVENT, WE DO RECOVERY FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, AND WHAT HAPPENED IS BELIEVED THAT SYNERGY, LOSE THE EFFECT OF WHAT'S HAPPENING TO US, AND WE GO BACK TO A KIND OF NORMAL OPERATIONAL MONITOR THE VERY NEXT ONE COMES ALONG. WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE THAT, WE WANT TO BUILD UPON THE FRAMEWORK AND BUILDUP ON THE SUCCESSES THERE.

SO I DIDN'T WANT TO SPEND TOO MUCH MORE TIME BUT THAT IS WHAT I HAD.

CITY MANAGERS, YOU HAVE ANYTHING FOR ME? THESE I WANT TO ADD A COURSE WHERE ALL THE CUSTOMERS ALREADY KNOW BUT I THINK IT'S GOOD TO VERBALIZE OUT LOUD, THAT CURRENTLY WE HAVE MOU WITH THE COUNTY FOR THE OFFICE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT.

THE SEARCH OF THAT AGREEMENT IS THAT WE SHARE 5050 DEFENSE OF THAT OPERATION.

'S EMPLOYEES ARE TECHNICALLY COUNTY EMPLOYEES. AND THE WAY THAT IT WORKS IS THAT THEY RECONCILE THEIR EXPENDITURES AT THE END OF THE YEAR.

SO THIS INVOICE AND WE PAY FOR HALF OF THAT OPERATION. AND SO DECISIONS THAT ARE MADE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR SUCH AS INCORPORATING THIS DECISION, ADDING A STAFFER IMPACT US SOLELY ON THE FINANCIAL SIDE AS IT RELATES TO WHATEVER HALF WOULD BE TOWARDS THE END OF THE

YEAR. >> YOU MAY RECALL THAT WHEN WE BROUGHT FORWARD THE BUDGET MEMO TO HELP PAY FOR THE SOFTWARE, OR MAKE ANY DISCRETIONARY, BECAUSE WE WEREN'T SURE WHATEVER TO THE YOU WOULD LOOK LIKE SO THAT WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO COVER THE RISK OF THE FISCAL YEAR ASSUMING THEY

[02:15:08]

WOULD FACILITATE A INCREASE IN 2022 AND BEYOND AND WE ALREADY PUT A INTERNAL EXERCISE TO HELP THESE FINANCIALLY BE OKAY FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE. ORIGINALLY WHEN IT CAME UP WE HAD TALKED ABOUT YOU KNOW, SIMPLY JUST WAITING INTO THE NEW FISCAL YEAR FOR THIS POSITION.

BUT AS THE ONGOING PANDEMIC HAS CONTINUED, AND WITH HURRICANE SEASON YOU KNOW, QUITE FRANKLY UPON US, WITH THE RECOGNITION FROM REQUEST TO PROCEED WITH THE POSITION SOONER THAN OCTOBER PARCEL IS WHY IT KIND OF SEEMED LIKE IT JUST CAME UP. BUT THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF CONVERSATION, A LOT OF DISCUSSION AND ABLE TO REEMPHASIZE OR REITERATE A POINT THAT RICK BROUGHT UP, THAT RECOVERY STARTS IMMEDIATELY AS THE EVENT IS TAKING PLACE, RIGH.

THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THAT OCCURS SEQUENTIALLY SPEAKING, RIGHT, IT'S NOT YOU DEAL WITH THE EVENT AND THEN RECOVERY COMES LATER. AS WE HAVE LEARNED WITH THE PANDEMIC, THE EVENT COULD LAST A VERY LONG TIME RIGHT, AND SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE RESOURCES TO BE ABLE TO DO BOTH.

AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE IS AN AREA OF OPPORTUNITY IN ORDER TO SPECIFICALLY HIGHLIGHT THE ROLE THAT KEY CITY STAFF HAS PLAYED IN THIS OPERATION HISTORICALLY SPEAKING. SO FOR EXAMPLE MY CITY MANAGERS HAVE SERVED AS OFFICIAL LIAISONS WITH SOME OF THE NONPROFIT GROUPS, WHICH IN THEORY MIGHT MAKE SENSE BECAUSE YOU KNOW, MIKE IS ALREADY INVOLVED WITH A LOT OF NONPROFITS. BUT THE REALITY IS THAT, THAT ISN'T SOMETHING WE CAN JUST TURN ON WHEN NEEDED. WE REALLY DO NEED A ONGOING PERSON TO FOCUS ON THESE RELATIONSHIP WITH THESE NONPROFITS GOING TO COORDINATOR RESPONSE THAT IS SIMILAR TO THE POINT IN COUNCILMEMBER JENNY BROUGHT UP, ELKE SENSORS BECAUSE AS WE LEARNED HERE SENSE IS THAT THERE'S SOME OF THAT. VOCATIONAL SERVICES AND NOT ENOUGH NOTICE, AND THERE IS NO EIGHTH THINKING STRATEGICALLY TO FOCUS WITH DIFFERENT GROUPS TO THINK ABOUT LET'S FIGURE THIS OUT A LITTLE BETTER. AND OUR VISION IS THAT THIS POSITION WOULD HELP DO THAT. OUR VISION IS ALSO THAT THIS POSITION WOULD HELP SUPPORT THE LONG-TERM RECOVERY GROUP AS WEL, NOT DIRECTORY BONAVOLONTA DIRECTORY GROUP WOULD REMAIN A NONPROFIT BUT THIS PERSON WILL RECEIVE A GIVEN LIAISON WITH THE LONG-TERM RECOVERY GROUP TO ENSURE THAT THAT'S IN OPERATION THEY CAN THRIVE AND CONTINUE. FOR THOSE THAT ARE DISSIPATED IN THE CHAMBER LEGISLATIVE DAY AND ALSO, WE HEARD IT DIRECTLY FROM THE CHIEF'S MOUTH THAT WHEN HE AND HIS TEAM THINK ABOUT VICTORIA, THE LCBG ARE THE FIRST THINGS THEY THINK ABOUT AND YOU THINK ABOUT TAKING ARMANDO LT ARCHIV G AND REPLICATING THAT ACROSS THE STATE BOND THAT REFERRED TO THE REPRESENTATION THAT THE APPROACH THAT OUR LONG-TERM RECOVERY EFFORT HAS AND FOR US IS IMPORTANT THAT IT DOESN'T FADE AWAY. AND SO WITH THAT I'LL TURN IT

BACK TO YOU TO SEND IT BACK TO THEM FOR QUESTIONING. >>> I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU.

AND IT'S NOT JUST ME, I KNOW IT'S EVERYBODY APPEAR. YOU AND YOUR STAFF PERFORM UNBELIEVABLY. YOU PERFORMED HEROICALLY THIS LAST YEAR.

I KNOW ALL OUR CONSTITUENTS FEEL THE SAME WAY. HE VACCINATION CLINIC, ANOTHER MODEL FOR THE STATE. YOU JUST DONE A GREAT JOB AND THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I APPRECIATE THAT, THANK YOU. >>> THIS HARD DECISIONS HAVE TO BE MADE BUT REAL TOGETHER AND THINK ABOUT IT LOTS AND I APPRECIATE THAT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR ME?

>>> GET READY FOR HURRICANE SEASON. >>> JUNE 1.

>>> WE'LL BE HERE TO SUPPORT YOU WITH WHATEVER WE CAN. >>> THANK YOU.

[3. Update on FY22-FY26 Capital Improvement Plan. Mike Etienne, Assistant ...]

>>> THANKS, RICK. >> THE NEXT TOPIC IS THE CIP TOPIC AND GILBERT WILL BE SPEARHEADING THIS PRESENTATION BOB BEFORE HE STARTS I WANT TO FIRST TURN IT OVER TO THOMAS TO BRIEFLY PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON A PIECE OF LEGISLATION THAT IS BEING CONSIDERED IN AUSTIN THAT MAY OR MAY NOT IMPACT OUR DISCUSSION FOR THE CIP MOVING FORWARD, I THINK THAT WILL HELP, IF ANYTHING ELSE, SERVE AS A EDUCATIONAL COMPONENT TO YOU AND THOSE THAT MIGHT BE TUNING IN ON

THAT. >>> BEFORE THE MEETING I PASSED OUT FOR YOU A VISION OF WHAT I AM CALLING OUR DANCE CARD. THIS IS THE HANDOUT THAT WE CREATED.

I HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTING IT AROUND OUR COMMUNITY AND IN AUSTIN AT THE CAPITOL BUILDING SHOWING THE POSITIONS THAT ARE CITY COUNCIL TOOK ON SIGNIFICANT PIECES OF VISITATION AT THE

[02:20:05]

AND CITY COUNCIL PANTHERA SOLUTION OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL BECAUSE IT WOULD REQUIRE US TO GO OUT FOR A BOND ELECTION FOR THE SALE OF CERTAIN TYPES OF BONDS, FOR MOST OF THE BOND THAT WE ARE USING IN THE CITY WHERE WE HAVE DONE OUR FINANCIAL PLANNING IN A WAY THAT WE HAVE NOT TRADITIONALLY ISSUED NEW BONDS. I AM HAPPY TO REPORT THAT THAT BILL HAS RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT AMENDMENT ON THE FLOOR, CREATING MULTIPLE EXCEPTION TO THAT BOND ELECTION REQUIREMENT. ANYTHING THAT FALLS INTO A NEW DESCRIPTION KNOWN AS DESIGNATED INFRASTRUCTURE WILL NOT REQUIRE A BOND ELECTION, AND IT WOULD REQUIRE THAT INCLUDE THINGS LIKE FOOD, WATER SUPERVISOR, PUBLIC 60 PERCENT MORE VEHICLES AND APPROVAL TO EXISTING BUILDINGS.

AND THAT DOES REMOVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OUR CONCERN ABOUT THIS BILL.

IT IS STILL NOT A GOOD BILL, AND VILBERT AND I AND MR. GARZA WILL BE MEETING SHORTLY, PROBABLY TOMORROW, WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT REMAINS IN THIS BILL, AND WHETHER WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO OPPOSE THIS BILL OR WHETHER ALL OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE BILL HAVE HAVE BEEN RESOLVED.

HOUSE TILL 1869 PASSED THE HOUSE TODAY ON SECOND READING ON A NONRECORD BOAT YOUNGER IT WILL STILL REQUIRE A THIRD READING BEFORE IT'S READY TO GO OVER TO THE SENATE FOR THEIR CONSIDERATION. THE BILL IS MOVING FORWARD. IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS THE VOTES TO PASS, SO I EXPECT THIS TO POTENTIALLY IMPACT THE CIP STRATEGY FOR THE CITY AS IT WILL IMPACT THE FINANCIAL PLANNING THAT THE CITY HAD BEEN DOING FOR YEARS.

>>> AND ASSUMING THAT IT PASSES SOME OF THESE AMENDMENTS, IT MAY NOT IMPACT THE MAJORITY OF THE CIP BUT WOULD IMPACT SOME ELEMENTS. SO FOR EXAMPLE, ANTHONY SPENCER, WE WILL MEET TO DISCUSS WHAT ALL ASPECTS ARE STILL LEFT OUT EVEN AFTER THE AMENDMENTS.

BUT THE VERY FIRST THOUGHT I HAD WHEN HE PROVIDED AN UPDATE EARLIER TO US WAS QUALITY OF LIFE STUFF, RIGHT. PARKS, LIBRARIES, YOU KNOW, THINGS IN OUR PUBLIC SAFETY THAN IF WE EVER GOT TO THE POINT OF WANTING TO INVEST SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY TO THOSE, WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS? IF THIS IS EVER WANTED -- IF IT INCLUDED RENOVATION OF BUILDINGS, THAT'S GOOD, BUT IF WE WERE EVER GOING TO BUILD SOMETHING NEW YOU KNOW, WHAT IS THAT CHILD, RIGHT? SO IT'S JUST SOMETHING FOR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS TO BE COGNIZANT OF AS WE CONTINUE OUR CONVERSATIONS ON CIP. SO WITH THAT I'LL TURN OVER TO

GILBERT, UNLESS YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THOMAS. >>> WHO, THANK YOU MARGO SIGNOR.

>>> CASSIUS. >>> THANK YOU FOR THAT INTRODUCTION, JUST MAKES OUR LIFE A LITTLE HARDER BUT WE CAN DO IT. KEN YOU'RE GOING TO BE PART OF THIS CONVERSATION, SO I'LL BE COUNTING ON YOU FOR SOME COMMENTS.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR PRO TEMPORE COUNCIL. AND NOT MIKE BUT I'M GETTING OVER IT, I DID PRESENTATION BOB PHYSICALLY I AM GOING TO GIVE YOU A KRISTAPS REPORT ON THE CIP WHICH WE DISCUSSED BACK IN MARC. THAT WAS A WORK SESSION BACK THERE BUT ALSO I'LL USE THEM THE OPTION ABOUT OUR NEW PRODUCT -- NEW PRODUCT, HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES, A NEW PRODUCT PROJECT AND MAYBE HOW WE CAN INCORPORATE ONE OF THESE OPTIONS IN THEIR PART OF THE FIRST THINT TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE AWARE OF IE PRESENTATION I GIVE YOU FIRST WHAT IS CURRENTLY IN THE CIP.

THE ONLY THING I DID IN A NUTSHELL IS KNOWN FOR AREAS: I SWAPPED THE ARP MONEY AND REPLACED IT WITH REVENUE BONDS FOR THE RICKY BARNES ASIDE FOR A LATER DATE.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? >>> AIR. THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN THAT WE DISCUSSED IN AL QAEDA SO AN AMOUNT FOR WATER AND UTILITY STRUCTURE, THAT'S WHAT HE IS

REFERRING TO. >>> WHICH WE MENTIONED THIS BACK IN MARCH AND THAT WAS LEFT OFF

BUT TALKED ABOUT. >> IN ADDITION TO THAT, KEEP IN MIND -- I WILL REPEAT IT -- IS IN THE CIP ASSUMPTION WE ASSUMED THAT WE WOULD USE -- THAT WE ARE NOT SPENDING MONEY RIGHT NOW ON DEBT UTILITIES SO WE ARE USING CASH TO USE CAPITOL PROJECTS RIGHT NOW.

WELL, WHEN YOU DON'T ISSUE THAT YOU GET TO INCREASE CASH. THE SAME THING HAPPENS INCREASE THE UTILITY SIDE OF DEATH, HE LOWERED THE CASE. SO IT'S A INVERSE RELATIONSHIP.

>> THE OTHER ITEM THAT WE DO ADJUSTED IS MADE SOME MINOR TWEAKING WITH THE CIP PROJECT

[02:25:04]

SOME ADJUSTMENT THERE. >> ALSO KEEP IN MIND THAT I AM STILL YES AS WE GO TO THE BUDGET, I SIGER TO MAINTAIN THE 5 MILLION RESERVE, SO I CAN'T -- IF I TAKE TOO MUCH MONEY I'VE

GOT TO SEND IT BACK ONTO THOSE KIND OF THINGS. >> AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WE ADDED INTO SMALL PRIOR TO THE TRAFFIC CONTROL SIGNAL PROJECTS. I'LL LET KEN EXPLAIN MORE OF THAT. LET'S GET THROUGH THAT. I WANT TO GIVE YOU THAT PRESENTATION FIRST ENCASEMENT TO GO THROUGH THIS FAST. ANYWAY.

>> THE FIRST WHEN HE SAW THIS TONIGHT. WITH TAKING AWAY THE $187,000 THAT WAS BUDGETED FOR 22 AND WE ARE GOING TO CHINA. KENION MADE A PRESENTATION EARLY SO WHAT REDUCING CIP PROJECT 187. ALSO I DON'T NEED 20 FROM THAT

UTILITY REGULAR OPERATION SO THAT BECOMES AVAILABLE. >> THE SECOND PART IS WHAT I MENTIONED EARLIER. I AM TALKING ABOUT THREE-DECKA THE MINERS AND UTILITY REVENUE BOND WITH ARP GRANT FUND, WHICH WOULD HOPEFULLY BE HERE AND ANOTHER TEN DAYS.

BASICALLY THOSE PROJECT CONSIST OF TWO MADERE FOR THE MAIN STREET SANITARY LINE UTILITY BAR I'LL TAKE TWO MEN DOLLARS -- I WON'T ISSUE TO MEDARIS MOVICO AS REPLACE IT WITH HIS OTHER GRANT FUNDING. ON THE COLLEGE PARK 1.3 MEN COMFORTABLY REVIEW BONDS.

ALSO HAD $20,000 AND SOME CHANGE AND WANTING THOUSAND DOLLARS AND CHANGE AS OTHER AVAILABLE FUNDING WHICH I IMPLEMENTED TO MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE. SO RIGHT THERE AND TAKE AWAY 2.3 METERS REVIEW CAPACITY TO PUT ASIDE FOR ANOTHER RAINY DAY. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE TO Y'ALL?

OKAY. >> OKAY ARE WANTED TREATMENT PROJECT GENERATOR, IN THERE BUT WE HAD WAS ABOUT $900,000 BEING FOR THE BODY TO THE OPERATION. BUT AGAIN I NEED TO BRING SO THAT MONEY BACK. THERE IS SOME LONGTIME MONEY NEED TO TAKE CARE OF HERE NOT RELATED TO CIP, SO I SUGGEST THAT MAYBE WE JUST TAKE HALF AN BE PAID BY THE ARP, THE REMAINING WILL STAY WHERE I SAID, THAT MAKE SENSE? PLEASE I WANT TO ASK A QUESTION.

WE HAVEN'T HAD A DISCUSSION ON ARPA FUNDING. WE TALKED BRIEFLY ABOUT HIS

COMING, FIVE BUCKETS, RIGHT? >>> CORRECT. >>> BUT FROM A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE, I DON'T THINK THAT WE HAVE GIVEN ANY DIRECTION ON HOW WE WANT THOSE ROCKETS SPLIT

UP. >>> IN THIS SETTING, CORRECT ON AND SO THE SETTING OF A FORMAL PRESENTATION TO COUNSELOR 12 TALK TO SIX OF THE BUCKETS, THINGS OF THAT SORT, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, WE HAVEN'T HAD THAT CONVERSATION. OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE HAD THE CONVERSATION ABOUT THE BUCKETS, RIGHT, IN GENERAL. AND SO WHAT WE ARE SUGGESTING WITH TODAY'S PRESENTATION IS TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE $3 MILLION FOR WATER INFRASTRUCTURE OUT OF THAT PIECE BUT I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION FROM A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE TO KNOW IF THAT'S A GOOD WAY TO GO OR NOT. RIGHT? SO IF I THOUGHT THERE NEEDED TO BE MORE ALLOCATED TO BROADBAND AND 3 MILLION FROM THIS GRANT, MAYBE IT'S NOT THE BEST THING TO DO TO REPLACE THIS OTHER REVENUE UTILITY BONDS, RIGHT? THAT'S WHY I'M JUST SAYING, I DON'T HAVE A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE TO KNOW THAT -- PLEASE WRITE.

>>> THAT'S ANOTHER BUCKET. >>> NO, THAT'S FAIR, WE AT THE SECOND MEETING IN MAY CAN HAVE THAT DISCUSSION AND KIND OF HAVE THE HOLISTIC BIG PICTURE VIEW. I RECEIVED TODAY DISCUSSION IS NOT A ACTION ITEM. BUT AGAIN YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

WE NEEDED TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH COUNCIL IN THAT'S IT INTO A SURE AND

CONFIRM AND VALIDATE CERTAIN THINGS. >> WE HAD BEEN WAITING INTENTIONALLY TO ENSURE THAT RAMFIS HAD A BETTER SENSE OF WHERE WE STOOD WITH BROADBAND, FOR EXAMPLE, WAITING UNTIL WE HAD A BETTER SENSE OF WHERE WE STOOD WITH HOW WE MIGHT WANT TO SUPPORT SORT OF NONPROFIT SPA WE HAVE HAD MEETINGS INTERNALLY TO TRY AND DISCERN WHAT IS THE BEST APPROACH TO DO THAT, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT CURRENTLY THE GUIDELINES ASSOCIATED WITH THE PLAN ARE VERY GENERIC AND BROAD. AND SO WE ARE WHOLE SO HOPING FOR SOME ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE

[02:30:02]

AND SO WE WERE HOPING THAT WE WOULD GET THAT. AND THAT'S THE REASON FORWARD.

AND SO SINCE SOME OF THOSE ARROWS AREN'T REALLY HAPPENING IN A TURNING MANNER, THEN WE PROBABLY JUST HAVE TO GO INTO IT WITH SOME VAGUENESS, AND WE CAN CERTAINLY DO IT AT THAT SECOND MEETING IN MAY ON FEDERAL CONFIRM WHETHER WE ARE TO CONTINUE DOWN THIS PATH ARE NOT.

>>> YESTERDAY BECAUSE I AM ALSO APPROACHING IT FROM LOOKING AT THIS ARPA -- I KEEP WITH YOU SAY ARP MONEY. I'LL BE THERE -- BUT AS TRANSFORMATIONAL PROJECTS, RIGHT, I AM JUST TRYING TO -- WHAT'S THE IMPETUS FOR USING IT NOW ON THIS WHERE YOU ALREADY HAD SOMETHING LAID OUT? YOU GET INTO THAT? .

>>> WE HAD SOMETHING LAID OUT BEFORE? P OH, OKAY.

>>> WHY SWITCH IT. >>> NO, IT'S A GOOD QUESTION. MAYBE WE SHOULD START OFF AT THAT BAR I'LL JUST BRING SOME OTHER OPTIONS AS TO HOW YOU WANT -- BECAUSE YOU ARE DEALING WITH THAT. AND IF YOU REDUCE DEBT, YOU CREATE MORE CASH FLOW THE CIP.

THAT'S BASICALLY I'M GETTING AN OPTION WHICH IS TO STATE THAT THIS IS STILL UPON APPROVAL ON YOUR SIDE. THIS IS JUST AN OPTION TO LOOK AT, AND I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BENEFIT SINCE WE ARE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT DEBT AND HOLD BACK AND WE STILL HAVE A WHOLE YEAR TO GO FORWARD AND DO ALL THESE MASSIVE PLANS AND FIGURE OUT WHERE THINGS ARE GOING TO LINE BACK AND COME IN WITH HIS OTHER PROJECTS WE DON'T YET. I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS WILL FLY WITHOUT ALONSO MAYBE HOLD BACK ON CASE ISSUES WE HAVE NOW AND USE REVENUE BONDS AT A LATER TIME. THAT'S ALL. IS JUST AN OPTION.

WE CAN GO BACK AND SWITCH IT BACK, NOT A PROBLEM. I MIGHT HAVE TO TWEAK SOME OTHER THINGS BUT WE CAN WORK AROUND THAT. BUT IT IS JUST TO GIVE YOU A

DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE WORK. >>> OKAY. >>> OKAY.

>> THAT'S THREE 1-2-3. >> THIS WAS AN AD THAT CAME OUT TO THE BUDGET DURING THE PUBLIC WORKS BUDGET PROPOSED AT $175,000 IN COSTS FOR THE PROJECT, AT THE SAME TIME INCREASE FUNDING FROM JIMMY FUND TO 175. WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT?

>>> BASICALLY TAKING THE EXITING SIGNAL THAT HAS ONE POLE IN A SPAN WIRE GOING ACROSS, THE OTHER POLLS, MAKING THAT A FULL, WHAT I CALL FULL-FLEDGED BUDGET SIGNAL WITH NEW MAST ARMS, NEW POLES. AS THE CITY MENTIONED, IT'S THE ENTRANCE TO THE CITY, LET'S GET IT WORKING DIRECTLY. AND IS SUCH A SIMPLE UPGRADE. WE'VE GOT ALL THE CONDUIT AND

EVERYTHING. >>> THAT STREET SIGN. >>> WE PUT ILLUMINATED STREETS

AND ON THAT ONE, YES. >>> NO FLASH, OKAY. >> SAQUAN AIRLINE TERRITORY SEWER PRISON PROJECT PUMP WE HAD A PROJECT COMING UP IN 2010 WHICH IS THE A-LINE PERSON PROJECT AND WE PLAN TO INCORPORATE THIS INTO THAT ONE SO THEY ARE MOVED -- MUTUAL 20 TO 21. WHAT IT IS IS IS IN THE WILLOW LAKE PROJECT, THIS PORTION OF IT. YOU WANT TO TAKE THAT OUT OF THE CIP, PUT IT IN THE OVERLY SO YOU

GOT IT ALL ONE PROJECT BASICALLY USING OUR RESOURCES. >> NUMBER SIX IS BASICALLY GOING TO KEEP CHANGING, KEEP TWEAKING THE BUDGET AND KEEP TWEAKING THE CIP BOND BUT RIGHT NOW ANDREW STANDS I HAVE TO BRING SOMEONE IN REGARDS TO MAKE SURE MIKE IUPATI FUNDS COMPLY WITH MINIMUM

RESERVE THE 25 PERCENT POLICY. RISKE THAT'S WHAT THAT IS. >> NUMBER SEVEN, THE SAME PHILOSOPHY THERE. SINCE I BRINGING THIS CASH IN AND EVERYTHING IS, I AM SWAPPING CASH REVENUE BONDS AND USING LIBERTY BONDS LATER. ON THAT NOTE, I WANT TO SKIP DOWN TO NINE. THIS IS A IMPACT BY POSTPONING THOSE REVENUE BONDS THEY USED IN

THE CASH SITUATION. IN 22. >> MR. BAUKNIGHT: FIVE -- 35 MILLION REVENUE BONDS AND THE CIP TIMEFRAME, WHICH IS THAT TIMEFRAME, YOU ARE AND A PARTIALLY $2.2 MILLION TO YOUR PROGRAMS. THAT MAKE ANY SENSE? YOU ARE NOT USING DEBT, YOU'RE RAISING CASH. THAT'S THE WHOLE PRIMARY HERE IS WE DON'T WANT TO GO THAT ROUTE. NOT A PROBLEM, AND YOU HAVE A EXCELLENT OUTPUT MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE STARTED TALKING ABOUT THE OTHER ITEM FIRST. BUT STILL I WANT TO GIVE YOU A

[02:35:03]

VISUAL LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW. SO GET TIME TO TALK ABOUT IT. >> GOING BACK TO HQ IF THIS IS THE LAST PROJECT THAT WAS ADDED TO AGAIN DURING THE BUDGET, WAS A TALK ABOUT -- YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT -- WE ENDED $65,000 IN COSTS. IN ADDITION WE HAVE AVAILABLE

FUNDS NOW CIP RIGHT NOW -- >>> THAT'S ANOTHER SIGNAL OF GREAT TO GET RID OF THE SPAN WIRE TO MAKE IT MAST ARMS, BE VERY SIMILAR TO THE ONE IN MY LEFT WHICH WE JUST BUILT TO PLEASE GO BY BUT AGAIN, GETTING RID OF THOSE SPEND MY IN THE OVERHANG IN THE STREET PIECE OF BESTY -- P AND ALSO OBVIOUSLY A OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THE STREET SIGNS.

A LOT OF WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO CONVERSE WITH THAT IS OBVIOUSLY THE IMPROVED SENSE OF YOUR INNER CITY, RIGHT. YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS REFLECTIVE OF THE FACT THAT WE ARE A CITY. AND A LOT OF PEOPLE NEED HELP WITH STREET NAMES, RIGHTS. SO WE'LL KNOW BECAUSE WE ARE FROM THE AIR BUT WHEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE VISITING YOU KNOW, THAT CAN BE CONFUSING, AND SO WE JUST THINK IT JUST ENHANCES PEOPLE'S PROTECTION -- PERCEPTION OF OUR INFRASTRUCTURE. AND IS HELPFUL TOO.

AND IT LOOKS BETTER. >>> AS LONG AS YOU DON'T CHANGE THE COUNTRY FEEL OF THE BLINKING

YELLOW LIGHTS, YOU'RE ALL RIGHT. >>> SO LET ME RECAP. >>> I'M NOT OUT THAT LATE.

>>> YOU GOT TO GET UP THAT EARLY. >>> THERE YOU GO, RIGHT THERE.

>>> TOUCHE. >>> JUST WAIT, YOU'LL BE UP THAT EARLY.

FORMULA RUN. >> COUNCIL, IN SUMMARY, THIS IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO GET AT: BACK IN MARCH WE HAD POSITION IN THE PAY AS YOU GO IN CIP ABOUT $91 MILLION.

BY SHOOTING HIS AEROBIC INCREASED ART CAN PRESUME I'M NOT NICE EXPLAIN SO YOU SEE IT WENT UP BY ABOUT FIVE MAY NOT. YOUR GIO/SEAL SAY THE SAME. WE ALSO WENT DOWN AS YOUR REVENUE BONDS WHICH IS $6.2 MILLION DROP BOMB AND, OF COURSE, IF YOU LOOK AT THE BOTTOM, WE TAKE THOSE AND ELATION PROJECT YOU HAVE A OVERALL NET INCREASE THE CIP ABOUT 405. SO OVERALL AT THE END OF MARCH 26, WE HAD AVAILABLE FUNDS ABOUT $12.7 MILLION LEFT ON WHAT, I MEAN, I THAT CAN MOST IN THE 24-25-26 EVEN LATER YEARS ARE NOW AT THIS PROPOSED CHANGE, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO GO COME IF NOT WE CAN PUT IT BACK ON NOW WE ARE LOOKING AT $11.2 MILLION. THAT MAKE ANY SENSE? ALL THAT? SO ANOTHER WAY TO LOOK AT IT, AND ARE NOT PRETTY GO THROUGH THIS, BUT I GUESS IT'S YOUR LEISURE, I DID INCLUDE -- LET ME GO REAL QUICK HERE.

A TRIAL BALANCE HERE SO I WANT TO SEE IF GILBERT IS FOLLOWING THESE NUMBERS ARE NOT.

IT'S HERE PUMP THE TOP LINE IS YOUR BEGINNING BOUT THAT SHOWS YOU IN MARCH HERE PLUS OR MINUS AT THE END OF THE MONTH -- AMY MAY THE FOURTH THERE IS A BALANCE FOR THE CASH.

THE SAME THING HAPPENS ON YOUR PROJECT SIDE. SO I AM NOT GOING TO GO TO THAT BUT IF YOU WERE TO GO THROUGH IN DETAILS OR GO DIVING THEIR NUMBERS, THERE IS.

>> BUT OVERALL FROM A BOND SITUATION, HERE IS THE GIO'S, IN MARCH WE HAD OVERALL THE CAPACITY OF TOLD $.2 MILLION. WE ONLY USED UP THAT TERMINATED HOURS OF FRONT-END MADE BUT WE STILL GOT CLOSER MILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT CAPACITY THAT WE HAVEN'T EVEN TOUCHED YET.

THAT'S A BIG PLUS. WHAT TODAY'S CHANGES YOU STILL HAVE THE SAME THING.

NOTHING IS CHANGED FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE. ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT?

>> WHAT HAS CHANGED IS THE REVENUE SIDE, OKAY. BACK IN MARCH, WE WERE SHOWING 5.4 IN 22 AND NOW IF WE GO THIS ROUTE YOU ARE LOOKING AT 1.9. IN 20 -- PEACE AND THERE IS A BIG CORRELATION TO USING SOME OF THE RESCUE FUNDS, RIGHT. SO IF WE PUT THOSE 3 MILLION BACK ON THE TABLE FOR DISCUSSION, THEN THIS WOULD GO BACK UP.

>>> CORRECT PARCEL THE SAME CORRELATION HAPPENS 23. AND, OF COURSE, IN 27 IT PICKS UP THE DIFFERENCE. BECAUSE BACK IN MARCH WE HAD 54, 90 GOT 60 IN 27 AS OF TODAY BECAUSE WE PUT IT ASIDE WE CAN DO WHATEVER THE COUNCIL PLEASES BOTH DEPENDS WHATEVER ADJUSTMENTS YOU WANT TO DO IN THE COMING MONTHS. ANY QUESTION BEFORE I GO MOVE ON FUTURE ONE OTHER COMMENT. IT ALSO CAME DEPENDS TO ME ON THE HOUSE BILL 1869 BECAUSE ALL OF THIS WOULD STILL BE ALLOWABLE WITH THE AMENDMENTS THAT WERE PRESENTED TODAY.

>>> CORRECT. >>> IS THERE SOMETHING THAT WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO FIND BUT WE

COULD USE ARPA MONEY FOR FUTURE WELL, THAT'S. >>> AND I DON'T KNOW THAT WE ARE

THERE THAT YET. >>> SURE, WE ARE NOT. BUT POTENTIALLY.

[02:40:04]

SO IF ALL OF A SUDDEN OUR OPTIONS ARE VERY LIMITED TO SICK PROGRESS, WE KNOW THAT -- SO IT JUST CHANGES THE GAME INTO HOW WE LOOK AT DIFFERENT SOURCES OF FUNDS AND HOW WE LAY EVERYTHING OUT ON PIKE-MARKET ACQUISITION WE JUST NEED TO HAVE A CROSS THAT BRIDGE, ASSUMING ANYTHING PASSES AND GET SIGNED. THAT'S A GOOD THOUGHT MICHAEL WRIGHT.

AND JUST LOOKING AT ALL OF OUR FUNDING SOURCES AND TRYING TO MAXIMIZE THAT WITH POTENTIAL NEW

LIMITATIONS. >> BROADBAND WASTEWATER, NO-BRAINERS.

CLEAR OUT. BUT THE OTHER ONE IS KIND OF GREENLINE RIGHT NOW THAT'S WHY I

PICKED ON THE WAIST FAR SIDE. >> AND MOVING ON, ANY QUESTIONS? >> I WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT TWO OPTIONS. I KNOW MS. SCOTT HAS MENTIONED BEFORE ABOUT THE TANGLEWOOD BAR STAFF HAS GONE THROUGH SOME NUMBER CRUNCHING. WE CAME UP WITH TWO OPTIONS.

FIRST OPTION YOU ARE GOING TO HATE IT. BUT IS NOT INTENDED TO DRIVE YOU TO THE SECOND OPTION, BUT YOU GET MULTIPLE OPTIONS. BUT I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT THE END. TELLS HOW YOU REALLY FEEL LIKE GILBERT EASY I WILL BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE COUNCIL UNDERSTAND, YOU WANT TO SHOW YOU THE WHOLE IMPACT HOW IT LOOKS IF THE WHOLE THING WAS THERE ON AND LET'S GO TO IT AND WE CAN TALK THROUGH I. I DON'T WANT TO PUT COUNCILPERSON ON THE STAND HERE BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT. FIRST OPTION IS LIKE THE ENTIRE TANGLEWOOD SUBDIVISION WITHIN THE TIMEFRAME AND A COST OF $28.7 MILLION PARTICIPANT WAYS TO INCREASE OUR CIP PROGRAM BY $23.7 MILLION, OKAY, BEYOND WHAT WE HAVE BEEN THERE RIGHT NOW.

>>> TIMEOUT IS A GO AHEAD. >>> SO CURRENTLY THERE IS ALREADY $5 MILLION IN THE CIP GOING TOWARDS THREE SUITES IN TANGLEWOOD. AND SO THAT HENCE WHY THIS IS

WORKING THIS WAY. CARRY-ON. >>> THANK YOU.

SO, AND OTHERS WHO ARE WE HAVE TO INCREASE REVENUE BY BY $11.5 MILLION I WOULD ALSO HAVE TO INCREASE BY SEO BY NEARBY TOLD .1 MILLION ARE THAT MAKES IT THAT 237 -- 20.7 BAR ON THE REVENUE SIDE, IN 22 ORIGINALLY WE HAD 1.9, WHAT YOU SAW EARLIER.

I WENT TO INCREASE BY 1.4 TO BRING UP TO $5.3 MILLION. THAT'S IN 22.

AND FISCAL YEAR 23, RIGHT NOW CURRENTLY THE WAIST AND I GOT SEVEN IN A THREE.

I WOULD HAVE TO INCREASE BY 8.2 TO BRING UP TO THE 15.5 BAR SO IN OTHER WORDS THE.

FOR HIM TO HACK INTO THAT 11.6 WHICH I PRESENTED YOU IN THE PREVIOUS LINE.

THAT WOULD ACCOMMODATE THE UTILITIES. HE DO YOURS UTILITY IN ONE YEAR

AND YOU DO HEAVY CONSTRUCTION UTILITIES THE FOLLOWING YEAR. >> NOW, WITH THAT SAID, LIKE I MENTIONED EARLIER, HE GOT 120 -- $102 MILLION WHICH WE HAD ORIGINALLY HAD AVAILABLE 92 IN MY GAIT BUT BY DOING THIS WE GO DOWN TO $81.2 MILLION LEFT ON REVENUE BOND CAPACITY.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? >> NOW HERE'S THE KICKER: AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, WHEN YOU SELL THE DEBT, I HAD TO SCRAPE OFF SOME OF THAT UTILITY DEBT CAPACITY, CASH OR WHAT WE CURRENTLY USE ON THE BONDS, TO PAY FOR THIS DEBT. THAT WOULD EQUATE TO PARTIALLY $3.89 OVER A FIVE-YEAR TIMEFRAM. ANOTHER WAY TO LOOK AT IT: THERE IS, IN THREE CHEWBACCA CAUSING OVER 1.3 OVER THE FIVE-YEAR CYCLE. WITH THE 23 BOND, 2.5 0 OUT OF THE FIVE-YEAR CYCLE IS THAT YOU .8 CASH REDUCTION IN UTILITY CASH THEY CAN PASS AND TAKE OUT AND CONSERVE SOME DEBT PAYMENTS NOW. THAT MEANS I'LL HAVE TO REDUCE COSTS ACROSS THE BOARD OR PICK A PROJECT THAT EQUATES THAT AMOUNT AND TAKE THAT OUT.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? OKAY. >> ON THE STOLZ STREEN CYCLE APPRECIATE FOR, WE SHOULD SEND AMANDA BUT I NEED TO ADD ABOUT ANOTHER 12 WAS PRESENTED 32.4.

[02:45:10]

THE LATTER YEARS IS WHAT IS LEFT AVAILABLE. BUT IN THIS CASE THIS IS I AM GOING TO ISSUE TO HELMANDOLLAR', I DON'T KNOW IF YOU STILL REMEMBER THAT I HAD CAPACITY, BUILD OF REDEEMING SOME BONDS OVER SLIGHTLY $16 OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS? WELL I WILL ADD CHILLED MANDOLIN WILL BE ABLE TO ADD $16 FOR THE RESUMPTION FIELD OR SAY $16 AND INTEREST IN AND TRANSLATE TO FUTURE DEBT CAPACITY OR TAX RAT. TAKE OR CHOOSE.

>> NOW LET ME GIVE YOU OPTION TWO. >>> ANY QUESTIONS ON OPTION ONE? I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS MENTIONED THAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS NOT TO MAKE A DECISION, IT'S JUST A GATEWAY DECISION PROCESS DIRECTION, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO FIND SOME -- SOME FINE-TUNING BOND BECAUSE IF YOU LIKE OPTION ONE, I'LL MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE TOOLS NUMBERS RIGHT BOND BUT BASICALLY I'M LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK FROM COUNSELOR TO IF YOU ALL WANT TO PROCEED FORWARD OR WHAT, I AM LOOKING FOR DIRECTIONS. THAT MAKE SENSE? THANK YOU. THE FINE-TUNING THAT WILL BE MADE IS ALSO THE TIMING ASPECT OF IT, RIGHT. I WAS MENTIONED TO COUNCILMAN SCOTT HURLEY THAT IF WE GO WITH OPTION ONE, WE HAVE NEVER EMBARKED ON A PROJECT OF THIS MAGNITUDE ALL AT ONCE.

SO THE REALITY IS INTERNET IS PROBABLY GOING TO TAKE MORE THAN A YEAR TO REPLACE ALL UTILITIES IF WE KNOCK THEM ALL OUT AT ONCE, RIGHT. SO THERE WOULD BE SOME FINE-TUNING NEEDED TO BE MADE ASSOCIATED WITH NOT ONLY THE MONEY PART BUT THE TIMELINE

PARTS TOO. >>> THIS REALLY SHOWS US THE COST OF REDOING A SUBDIVISION,

BOTH THE SERVICE AND LZ-2 IS UNDERNEATH. >>> THAT'S CORRECT.

>>> THAT'S CORRECT. >>> SECOND OPTION. I THINK YOU HAVE KINDA SEEN THIS BEFORE IN THE PAST BUT THE SECOND OPTION IS FIZZING OUT THE ENTIRE SUBDIVISION OVER A MINIMAL TIME. PHASE ONE WILL CONTINUE AND BEFORE BUT IN THE CURRENT CIP WILL AUGMENT TO MAKE AS ONE PHASE. CAN YOU HAND OUT AND TELL THEM

WHAT IS REALLY IN THE KNOW AND WHAT WE DO HAVE? >>> YES, THE ONES IN RED THAT ARE HIGHLIGHTED, WHICH IS THE ORIGINAL SCOPE THAT WAS IN THE CRP ALSO ON MARCH 26, WHAT WE DID TO GET ALONG A LITTLE FURTHER, WE ADDED SOME MORE STREETS.

AND HOW THAT WORKS IN TANGLEWOOD AND ANY OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD, IT'S REALLY CRITICAL THAT YOU FOLLOW THAT SANITARY SEWER LINE BAR AND THAT IS WHY SOME OF THESE YOU KNOW, WE HAD TO INCREASE IT MORE THAN I'D WANTED, BUT YOU HAD TO DO IT TO GET THAT SEWER LINE COMPLETELY COVERED IN THE UPSTREAM -- NO DOWNSTREAM TO GO UPSTREAM BONDS THAT'S WHY YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF THE STATES LIKE

WESTWOOD IN THAT SECTION JUST TO GET THAT SEWER INCLUDED. >>> QUESTIONS? COUNCIL THAT THE ONES IN RED, THE CURRENT CIP, ARE THE ONLY THING GOOD STREETS THAT ARE IN OUR CRP AT ALL. AND AS YOU HEARD ME TALK ABOUT TANGLEWOOD FOR SIX YEARS NOW AND IT WENT FROM EVENTUALLY WE'LL GET THEM ALL DONE TO WE ARE GOING TO DO THESE THREE AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO LOOK AT ANYTHING ELSE FOR AT LEAST FIVE MORE YEARS.

AND SO THAT'S WHY THAT WILL FAST-FORWARD, THIS PRESENTATION, AND I THINK THEY ARE GOING TO GIVE IT TO YOU, PUTTING IT BACK ON PUTTING THE WHOLE SUBDIVISION BACK IN IN PHASES, TO WHAT THAT

IMPACT WOULD BE. AND I THANK YOU FOR THAT. >>> THANK YOU.

THIS SCENARIO REQUIRES THAT WE INCREASE OUR CRP BY $5.2 MILLIO. A MORE MENTAL LEVEL.

YOU INCREASE READY BY 2.5 INCREASE CO TO ABOUT 2.7. HERE ON THE REVENUE SIDE, IN TURN INTO WE ARE GOING TO DO THE ENGINEERING SIDE ORDER AN INCREASE ABOUT $390,000 TO GO FROM 1.9 TO 2.3. EXCUSE ME. AND 23 IS ONLY DO THE INTERNECINE-CONSTRUCTION SIDEBAR CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW WE HAVE 7:3. I'LL ADD ANOTHER TWO LACHMAN TO BRING UP TO 9.4. I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAD MENTIONED THAT TO THEM BUT ONE THING WE

[02:50:07]

FOR EXAMPLE I THINK IS ASSERTED THAT ABOUT $3.7 MILLION. >>> THAT'S ENGINEERING, THAT'S

CORRECT. >>> SO PUT THAT NUMBER OR STAFF FOR THE NEXT THREE OR FOUR YEARS, YOU'LL SAVE IS OVER THREE MEN DOLLARS SPONSOR THAT'S THE LOGIC WE ARE THINKING ABOUT MOVING FORWARD WITH ANY PROJECTS, ESPECIALLY WITH THIS PROJECT PLEASE AND IS NOT ANYTHING THAT WE AREN'T ALREADY DOING SO FOR EXAMPLE NORTH HEIGHTS WAS DESIGNED IN-HOUSE.

BUT OBVIOUSLY WITH THE THAT -- THOSE PHASE RESPONSE WHERE EXISTING STAFF WILL DESIGN THOSE AS WE WENT. BUT THERE IS A BUSINESS MODEL THAT EXISTS OUT THERE AND OTHER COMMUNITIES RETURNS BACK TO THE PROJECT, SO YOU HAVE MORE CONTROL OVER THE PERSONNEL, THE MANAGEMENT, AND IT ENDS UP SAVING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OVER THE COURSE OF MANY YEARS.

WHERE THEY WOULD FIT INNER-CITY FACILITIES A CONVERSATION FOR ANOTHER DAY.

>>> YEAH. ONLY THAT, YOU CAN HOLD THAT CAPACITY FOR A LATER DATE WHEN HE REALLY NEEDED, OR MAYBE YOU COULD DO SOME ABOUT INTEREST SAVINGS.

>> ANYWHERE, ON THAT ISSUE, AS A RESULT OF RESELLING BOND, MY OVERALL.

WITH A FIVE-YEAR TIMEFRAME IS $808,000. TO LOOK AT THAT, THAT TO THE BOPPY COMPANY 150 OVER THE PARTY AND THAT IS NOT THE FULL LIFE OF THE BOND WITHIN THIS ARTICLE $150,000, WHICH IS MANAGEABLE. AND 23 BOSNIC THAT WILL COST SIX OR SEVEN WITHIN THIS LETTER, SO 807, THAT'S A -- IT'S FEASIBLE TO WORK WITH SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND MOVE THINGS AROUND, MAKE IT WORK. BECAUSE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS WE DO HAVE CAPACITY ON THE CASH SIDE. IT'S JUST THE EARLY YEARS WE ARE KIND OF TIGHT RIGHT NOW.

>> ON THE GO SEGMENT RIGHT NOW WE ARE CONTEMPLATING STOLZ STREEN AND ALSO WE ADD THAT TO THE SEVEN AND WAS TO TRACY MAETERLINCK INVESTIGATORS FROM THE 9.9 TO 97 AVAILABLE LEFT, MINIMAL. HERE IS YOU ARE STILL ABLE TO DO SOME REDEMPTION PARCEL IT MIGHT BE SIX MILLION DOLLARS, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO FOUR BONNER IS SO MUCH COME UP WITH HALF A BILLION TO $60,000 IN INTEREST TO SEE WHICH COULD BE TRANSLATED TO FUTURE CAPACITY OR THAT TAX RATE REDUCTION. SO FOR ME, THAT'S ALL I HAVE, I BELIEVE, YES, FOR TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION. I'LL BE HAPPY TO GO BACK OVER ANYTHING YOU MIGHT WANT TO TALK

ABOUT OR QUESTIONS, BECAUSE I GOT THE REST OF THE NIGHT. >>> JUST TO REPEAT WHAT GILBERT SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT WE'D BE LOOKING FOR JUST DIRECTION ON WHICH OPTION IS COUNCIL MORE OPEN TO SO THAT WE CAN FINE TUNE THE NUMBERS ARE TYPICALLY AT THE SECOND MEETING IN MAY IS WHEN STAFF REPORTS ON THE CRP. COUNCIL, YOU KNOW, SUPPORTS IT. TYPICALLY THAT'S NOT A VOTE.

WE DON'T ANTICIPATE IT MAKING A VOTE OLLISON BUT WE DO TAKE. SHE IS GETTING SUPPORT FROM COUNCIL NO LATER THAN THE SECOND MEETING IN MAY, SO THAT WE CAN OBVIOUSLY INCORPORATE ALL THAT ADMISSION INTO THE PROPOSED BUDGET THAT WE PLAN DISTURBING TO YOU IN MID-JUNE.

>>> I HAVE A QUESTION. >>> YES, SIR. >>> DINGLEWOOD IS NOT THE ONLY NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S NOT GETTING THE SUITES DONE. AND WHAT I LIKE TO KNOW IS WHEN THE CIP PERSPECTIVE, WHAT OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS , IF THIS SCENARIO WAS TO FOLLOW THROUGH, SHOULD THEY BE DONE BEFORE TANGLEWOOD. AND PEOPLE IN TANGLEWOOD NEED TO UNDERSTAND, I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE THREE THAT NEED TO BE DONE, BUT AT THE CASTLE HILLS WEST NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY ARE NOT GETTING ALL THEIR SUITES DONE. I WAS FINE WITH THE FIRST THAT WAS PRESENTED. IT'S A WAY TO USE OUR TAX DOLLARS MORE WISELY.

MORE EFFICIENTLY, AND TO HAVE FLEXIBILITY. I UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE IN TANGLEWOOD WHAT THEIR SUITES DONE. I UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, CASTLE HILLS WEST, WHAT ALL THEIR SUITES DONE. MY STREET WASN'T GOING TO BE ON THE LIST, AND I LIVE IN CASTLE HILLS WEST. I'M OKAY WITH THAT.

I THINK WE SHOULD GO WITH THE REGIONAL THING. I THINK IS BEST FOR THE TAX

[02:55:02]

PRESENTATION. >> NO, AS FAR AS USING THE RECOVERY MONEY, I AGREE WITH

COUNCILMAN. >> ANCHOR: WE NEED TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT BEFORE WE EVEN ENTER INTO THAT. THAT WASN'T PART OF THE ORIGINAL DISCUSSION BUT WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND IT COMPLETELY BEFORE WE DECIDE TO USE MONEY IN THIS RESPECT.

AND THAT'S JUST THE WAY I FEEL. >>> I THINK THE SAVINGS ON THE BOND DEBT, THE INTEREST THAT WE WOULD SAVE, IS SUBSTANTIAL, AND IF WE DO CHANGE OUR COURSE IT'S GOING TO, I GUESS, GET OUR DEBT CAPACITY DOWN, AND WE MAY NEED IT FOR LATER PROJECTS. I AGREE WITH MARK, YOUR ORIGINAL PLAN YOU KNOW, GETS US A FOOT IN THE DOOR, AND WE CAN WORK WITH THAT IF WE NEED TO LATER ON

CHANGE IT. >> OUR CRP LIST IS A LIST THAT WE CAN CHANGE AND GET MONEY, BUT RIGHT NOW BEING THAT WE BETTER PLAY IT SAFE AND JUST STICK TO THE ORIGINAL PLAN.

>>> AND DOWN THE ROAD, IF WE COME UP WITH SAVINGS, WHICH WE SEEM TO COME UP WITH ALL THE TIME, SOME OF THESE OTHER SUITES INTO TANGLEWOOD, CASTLE HILLS WEST AND OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS COULD MAYBE GET ADDED INTO THE CIP AS WE PROGRESS CAREY CODD THIS IS THE LIVING DOCUMENT, IT'S MOVING. SO HIGH TIME THAT I THOUGHT YOUR ORIGINAL PRESENTATION, GILBERT,

WAS SPOT ON, AND I WOULD LIKE TO STAY WITH THAT. >>> I HAVE TO SAY, OUR ORIGINAL PLAN THAT GILBERT PRESENTED HIS BEST CASE SCENARIO AND IT LOOKS GREAT BUT WHEN YOU GET INTO THE DETAILS OF WHAT'S IN IT AND WHAT'S NOT IN IT -- AND THERE ARE SOME OTHER STREETS THAT ARE NOT IN IT THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE FACING -- I DON'T THINK THAT IT'S THE ORIGINAL PLAN ARE NOTHING. I THINK THAT WE HAVE TO BE FLEXIBLE ABOUT IT.

THE PLAN ITSELF IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE SET IN STONE. REMEMBER HAS TOLD US IT'S A WORKING DOCUMENT. AND THE STREETS IN TANGLEWOOD ARE NOT STREETS THAT WE CAN JUST GET SOME MONEY AND FIX, BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST THE SURFACE OF THOSE STREETS, IT IS AN EXPENSIVE PROJECT. THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT. BUT IF WE KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD, IS JUST GOING TO GET MORE EXPENSIVE. AND I JUST CAN'T IN GOOD CONSCIOUS TO THE GOOD PEOPLE THAT WE'VE BEEN TELLING, FOR THE SIX YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN ON COUNCIL -- I DON'T KNOW." THAN THAT -- "WE'LL GET TO YOU, WE'LL GET YOU, WE'LL GET TO PICK UP WE HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING IN THE WORLD -- I THINK THAT BACK, WE DID SOME LEVEL UP FOR THEM.

BUT DRIVING ON THOSE STREETS THEY ARE FALLING APART. THEY ARE -- YOU KNOW, AND WE'RE NOT EVEN LOOKING AT CHIPS USING THEM, WE ARE JUST LOOKING AT LEAVING THEM.

AND THEIR POTHOLES AND THEN GAP UTILITIES THAT NEED TO BE REPAIRED.

AND I THINK THAT WHAT THEY ARE PROPOSING HERE IN OPTION NUMBER TWO IS A MIDDLE GROUND ON AND, YES, MR. LOFFGREN, THERE MIGHT BE SOME OTHER STREETS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED ALSO BUT THIS SUPPOSED TO BE A WORKING DOCUMENT. NOT A DOCUMENT THAT STAFF PRESENTS TO US AS BEST CASE AND WE SAY, OH, OKAY THAT'S WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO.

>>> WELL, IS A WORKING DOCUMENT. NEXT YEAR WE WILL BE PRESENTED WITH ANOTHER CRP, WHICH COULD CHANGE DEPENDING ON REVENUES. BUT FOR RIGHT NOW, FOR THE NEXT BUDGET, THE CIP THAT WAS

PRESENTED IS THE CIP THAT I FEEL WE SHOULD GO WITH. >> NEXT YEAR YOU CAN BRING UP THE SAME THING, AND THE REVENUES MAY CHANGE. EVEN WITH THE SCENARIO THAT WERE FOR TANGLEWOOD, THEY WORD FOR DOING IT NEXT YEAR. THOSE SCENARIOS COULD CHANGE NEXT YEAR. BUT, LISTEN, I KNOW TANGLEWOOD NEEDS ITS STREETS DONE.

I KNOW THAT CASTLE HILLS WEST NEEDED STREETS DONE. YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU START NAMING

[03:00:02]

BUT I'M JUST SAYING THAT. >>> BUT THEN THE FUTURE AND WE NEED TO DEAL WITH THE CIP FOR THIS NEXT YEAR. MEXICO I THINK YOU SHOULD BRING UP AGAIN BECAUSE MAYBE NEXT YEAR

WILL BE IN A BENEFICIAL POSITION TO DO WITH. >>> THE CRP IS A FIVE-YEAR PROJECT, PLEASE IT'S A LIVING DOCUMENT THAT CHANGES EVERY YEAR.

IT'S CHANGED EVERY YEAR SINCE I'VE BEEN ON COUNCIL, AND IT'S CHANGED AND I SAT IN THE

AUDIENCE THIRD ROW, THIRD SEAT. >>> WELL, COUNCIL DOES NOT WANT TO DO THIS, THEN I WOULD ASK STAFF TO PUT TANGLEWOOD THIS OPTION TOO -- TWO INTO THE CIP FOR NEXT YEAR.

>>> THIS OPTION TO JUST THAT OPTION TWO JUST ENTERED THE BLUE LINE'S?

>>> YES. >>> CORRECT. >>> THAT ALSO APPROACHES TANGLEWOOD FROM THE PROSPECT OF IT BEING A FACE PROJECT WHICH LEADS TO THE HOPE THAT THE OTHER TWO PHASES OF A -- AND I AM NOT SURE EXACTLY WHERE THEY ARE -- WILL GET DONE SOONER RATHER THAN

LATER. >>> ARE YOU LOOKING FOR ANY TYPE OF ANSWER OR DIRECTIONS TONIGHT? IDEALLY, YES, BUT OBVIOUSLY IF COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO SLEEP ON IT, WE COULD BRING IT UP AT THE SECOND MEETING IN MAY AS WELL. BUT, YES, IDEALLY WE ARE HOPING TO AT LEAST GET A SENSE OF WHICH

DIRECTION. >>> SPECIFICALLY TANGLEWOOD. >>> CORRECT.

>>> BECAUSE NOT THE FIRST PART OF HIS PRESENTATION. >>> CORRECT MARKED ON THE FIRST PART OF HIS CONDITION WAS TO PROVIDE A UPDATE TO YOU WHERE WE WORK WILL SHOW YOU THAT, EVEN THOUGH CHANGE SOME THINGS AROUND, SOME OF THE DEBT CAPACITY DIDN'T CHANGE THAT MUC.

AND ALSO LAST TIME WE TALKED ABOUT WAS IN A WORKSHOP THINK COMMERCIALS NEEDS ART AS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE AS THESE, SO WE THOUGHT IT'S IMPORTANT TO PROVIDE THAT OVERVIEW IN THIS SETTING, WHILE ALSO SETTING THE FOUNDATION FOR THOSE DISCUSSION. THE HOPE THAT IT HELPS YOU IN UNDERSTANDING THE BIG PICTURE OF WHERE WE ARE AND THE IMPACTS OF ENDING TANGLEWOOD, EVEN IF IT IS

JUST A PHASE ONE OF TANGLEWOOD. >>> NO, I THINK IT WAS A GREAT PRESENTATION.

>>> MAYOR PRO TEM, MAY I SUGGEST THAT WE HAVE TO SAY THAT OPTION ONE IS NOT SOMETHING WE CHOOSE

TO DO? >>> I AGREE WITH THAT. >>> DOES THAT GET HALFWAY THERE?

I AGREE. >>> NO ONE. >>> PROGRESS BIRTHDAY YOU GO.

>>> WAS IT HIS COMMENTS BEFORE HE STARTED THAT INFLUENCE THAT KEYCHAIN THAT I INFLUENCE YOU

SOMEHOW? >>> CAN YOU TELL HOW LONG THIS PROJECT WOULD BE?

WOULD IT STILL BE FIVE YEARS? IS IT GOING TO BE LONGER? >>> WELL, SO PHASE ONE, WHICH IS OPTION TWO CAMP WOOD HAVE DESIGNED IN FISCAL YEAR 22, UTILITIES IN 20 TO STREETS IN 24. SAME TWO -- SAME TIMELINE AS THE ORIGINAL THREE STREETS THAT ARE ALREADY IN THE PLAN. WE ARE SIMPLY ADDING A FEW MORE STREETS TO WORK.

THERE IS STILL A TIMELINE FOR PHASE TWO. >>> OKAY P AND WHAT'S IT DUE TO ALL THE OTHER PROJECTS LINE OF KEYCHAIN GOING WITH OPTION TWO? WELL --

>>> LOOKING AT THE DOWNSTREAM RIPPLE. >>> GILBERT, KEEP PULL-UP MY GO

BACK TO THAT. >>> LET ME MAKE SURE PETER TO THE BAR CHART OF OPTION TWO THAT JUST SHOWED THE 887,000 OUR DEBT CAPACITY CASH FLOW FUNDING? CAN I MOVE IT? CAN I MOVE IT? CAN I MOVE PICKING I'M GOING, I'M GETTING THERE.

>>> LOOK AT ALL THOSE RED BOXES. >>> I KNOW. >>> SO WE GO WITH OPTION NUMBER TWO. AS AN ADDITIONAL $3,000 THAT WE NEED TO RELEASE IN 22.

THAT'S EASY ENOUGH BARBARA AND THEN OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS YOU HAD TO REDUCE THE CIP, MEANING ALL THE PROJECTS WE PRESENTED THE AFTERS OUTPUT WE WOULD HAVE TO REDUCE UP TO $20,000 IN UTILITY EICHEL RELATED PROJECTS, BECAUSE AARON IS ALSO THE CEO SIDE.

[03:05:02]

I NEED TO QUALIFY SOMETHING, MR. GEISER. >>> GO FORWARD.

>>> AND SO IF WE CHANGE THE RULES ON HOW WE WATCH THE FUND USE ARP, ALL THIS GOES AWAY.

REMEMBER, IT'S ACTUALLY 2.5 MILLION COMING IN YOU, SO I HAD TO REDO ALL THESE NUMBERS AGAIN. OKAY, BUT THIS CONSIDER DOING LESS REVENUE BONDS OUT THERE

USING CASH FLOW TO SUPPORT SO THAT. >>> SO IF THE DIRECTION IS COUNCIL PREFERS I LEAD THEM TO OPTIONS, OPTION TWO AND COUNCIL IS OPEN TO IT, WE WOULD HAVE TO FINE-TUNE THE NUMBER, YOU HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT GOOGLE WHAT WOULD BE RECOMMEND REDUCING IF WE HAVE TO REDUCE. THE ART PREPARED TO GO TO THAT LEVEL OF DETAIL TO LEVEL DISCUSSION TODAY, BECAUSE WE FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT AT FIRST TO GET SOME TYPE OF GENERAL DIRECTION GOING BACK TO THE ORIGINAL CONVERSATION ABOUT YOU KNOW, THERE BEING SOME

DISCUSSION WITH COUNCIL BEFORE. >>> ANOTHER THING CONCENTRAT EXPLAINED WAS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF WE DO THIS WE ARE GOING TO LOWER OUR BOND CAPACITY IN FUTURE YEARS PARCEL THIS WILL BE

LESS PROJECTS IN THE FUTURE. >>> RIGHT. AND RISKE THAT WAS A PROJECT

THAT WAS GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE PLACE AT SOME POINT. >>> RIGHT BECAUSE IF YOU GO TO THE SLIDE THAT SHOWS THE BAR GRAPH THAT SHOWS CAPACITY IN THE OUTER YEAR.

THAT ONE AS AN EXAMPLE, RIGHT. LET'S FAST-FORWARD TO A YEAR FROM NOW.

AS MENTIONED IT'S A LIVING BREATHING DOCUMENT. WE COULD THEORETICALLY BE HAVING A WHOLE OTHER CONVERSATION A YEAR FROM NOW ABOUT MODE FURTHER DECREASED THAT ARE CHARTING 27, RIGHT, AND THE SHOULDER BONE AS OPPOSED TO POINT SO THAT EARLIER, RIGHT ARM OUR INTENTION WHEN WE FIRST PRESENTED THIS AT THE WORKSHOP WAS NOT TO SIMPLY SAY, HE WANTS TO LEAVE THAT 60 MILLION THERE UNTIL 27. THAT WASN'T THE INTENT MARKED INTENT WAS TO SIMPLY SHOW THE BEST CASE SCENARIO, IF WE DIDN'T TAKE UP SOME DEBT CAPACITY, THIS IS HOW MUCH WE WOULD HAVE BEEN 27. BRIEFLY ANTICIPATED THAT COUNCIL WOULD WANT TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT PROJECTS THAT WOULD TAKE SOME OF THIS DEBT AND LOWER IT.

A PHASE IS MADE, EVEN OURSELVES ARE BRINGING THESE BACTERIA AFTER WE COMPLETED MASTER PLANS AND SAYING WE WANT TO LOWER BECAUSE WE WANT TO DO X PROJECT. AND SO WE WEREN'T EXPECTING THIS TO GO UNCHANGED OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS YOUNGER WE SIMPLY ORIGINALLY EXPECTED THAT THAT WOULD HAPPEN NEXT YEAR, BUT NOW YOU'RE HAVING IT NOW.

AND THAT'S OKAY BECAUSE, AGAIN, IS COUNCIL'S DISCRETION TO DETERMINE WHEN WE START PULLING

SOME OF THAT BACK. >>> I HAD A QUESTION FOR MR. GILL.

THE INITIAL TANGLEWOOD PLAN HAD THOSE THREE ROWS, CORRECT? >>> YES PLEASE ARE YOU LOST?

YES, THE REDLINES. >>> OKAY, HOW DID WE CHOOSE THOSE THREE ROADS? WAS IT THAT I'LL STOP IN TO ANSWER. WAS, THE ORIGINAL ONES?

>>> YEAH, THE ORIGINAL HERO TO LOWER THEY CHOSE? >>> SPECIES BUT HAD SOME THINGS TO DO WITH AND ALSO WE TOOK A LOOK. TEAKWOOD, I'LL BE HONEST, WAS NOT ON THE STREET ASSESSMENTS. MICHAEL REDD THAT IS A MAJOR ENTRANCE INTO THAT NEIGHBORHOOD IT REALLY IS A PRIORITY. AND IT IS ALSO THE DOWNSTREAM END OF THE SEWER.

SO WE NEED TO START THEIR TO GET WORK STARTED. >>> AND SENSITIVE INFORMATION THAT WE APPEAR AS IF I CHOSE TO DO THAT HELP DETERMINE THOSE ROWS.

>>> I WANT TO MAKE A CLARIFYING STATEMENT, BECAUSE THAT EXERCISE DID HELP.

BUT LET'S KEEP IN MIND THAT THAT EXERCISE SOLELY LOOK AT THE SERVICE OF STREETS, NOT WHAT'S UNDERNEATH IT. THERE WERE STREETS THAT WERE RATED LOWER NETWORK PART OF

THOSE THREE STREETS. >>> RIGHT. >>> SO I DO THINK IT WOULD BE AN INACCURATE STATEMENT TO SAY THE DECISION WAS SOLELY BASED OFF OF THE INS STUDY, BUT IT DID PLAY A ROLE FARM BECAUSE IT IS PRETTY COINCIDENCE WEBSTER CONTEMPLATES HILLSBOROUGH SO EXCITING I SEE THAT STREET QUALIFIES FOR AN OVERLAY ON WHETHER THE SAID TO MAKE IT OVERLAID WITHOUT

REPLACING UTILITIES FIRST? MAYBE-MAYBE NOT, RIGHT. >>> TALKING ABOUT DOING THE MOST NEEDED ROADS VERSUS -- AND WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN OUR WORKSHOP ABOUT REALLY FOCUSING ON THE NEED VERSUS DOING THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH MAY NOT BE A NEED, AND HOW WE KIND OF

CHANGED, HOW WE VIEW, MAY BE, NEIGHBORHOODS. >>> NO, THAT'S A GOOD THOUGHT.

I WOULD SIMPLY JUST ADD THAT, FOR NEIGHBORHOODS THAT IS UP-TO-DATE DID UPGRADES TOO,

[03:10:03]

IT'S A TAD MORE COMPLICATED. >>> RIGHT WE HAVE COLLEGE PARK. >>> FOR EXAMPLE CANCEL WEST IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE, A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT DOESN'T NEED UTILITY OF GRACE, WHERE IT WILL BE MUCH EASIER TO TAKE JUST THE IMS APPROACH AND SAY THAT NEEDS A MALE AND OVERLAY, THAT NEEDS A SEAL COAT. BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE ISSUE OF WORRYING ABOUT INVESTING

UNDER THE STREETS. >>> HELP BARBARA I WANT TO CLARIFY, IMS YOU SAID WAS SERVICE BUT IT ACTUALLY MEASURES BASE YEAH, BUT IT DOES LOOK AT UTILITIES IS MILD POINT.

>>> OKAY, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT BORROWER YOU KEPT GOING. >>> RIGHT.

AND WHILE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THAT, IF YOU WOULD FOR A MINUTE VISUALIZE A NEW STREET HOT MIX HONOR, WHERE EVERYBODY KIND OF GOT A VISION OF THE NEW STREET WITH HOT MIX BARK NOW VISUALIZE THE STREET IN ONE OF THESE NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THAT NEEDS SOME WORK.

X ALLIGATOR CRACK X POTHOLES, X BUMPS. IS ALSO NOT THE SAME COLOR AS HOT MIX. NOT PUT THOSE TWO STREETS RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER AND THINK ABOUT WHAT THAT NEIGHBORHOOD IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE WHEN WE GET FINISHED DOING A COUPLE OF STREETS AND THROUGH IT. AND THEN WE TAKE OUR CHARTS AND DRIVE AWAY.

NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN. I THINK THERE IS -- >>> IF THERE ARE SOME AESTHETICS

TO IT BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT WE CAN AFFORD MISTAKES SOMETIMES. >>> I DON'T THINK WE CAN AFFORD

AESTHETICS. >>> OKAY BUT I WOULD LOVE TO. >>> TANGLEWOOD IS NOT THE ONLY NEIGHBORHOOD THAT THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO PARCEL WOULD YOU SUGGEST THAT ALL THE

NEIGHBORHOODS BE REDONE? >>> I AM SUGGESTING THAT WHEN THEY MADE THE DECISION THAT WE WERE GOING TO JUST DO THE STREETS THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE, IT CAME TO ME LATER THAT I THINK I UNDERSTAND WHY THE CITY EARLIER MADE THE DECISION TO DO A WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD AT ONCE,

BECAUSE OF AESTHETICS. >>> WELL, I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS AESTHETICS, PEOPLE WOULD SAY WELL, YRC GLENWAY STREET, YOU DID THE STREET NEXT DOOR. AND IT WAS A BIG CHANGE WHEN LISA DOING SECTIONS OF NEIGHBORHOOD ONE YEAR AND THE NEXT YEAR, AND THIS IS JUST THE FOR THE -- LISTEN, WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE MONEY TO FIX ALL THE STREETS.

AND I WISH WE DID PART BUT STREETS ARE EXPENSIVE. AND WE -- AND WANTING I MADE A POINT ABOUT THE MASTER PLANS: WE HAVE A DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN. WE HAVE A PARKS MASTER PLAN.

WE NEED TO SEE WHAT OTHER THINGS WE NEED IN THE CITY BESIDES STREETS.

AND WE NEED TO HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY TO DO WHAT. AND, YEAH, I'D LIKE ALL THOSE STREETS AND MANAGEMENT FIX. AND MINE AROUND THE CMP, MY STASH MINE AREN'T ON CIP.

THE STREET NEXT TO ME IS, THAT IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD BUT AT LEAST I COULD GET OUT OF ANY

WOULD. >>> IF WE KICKED IT NEXT TO THE GRAPH WOULD YOU HAVE ENOUGH --

YOU SAID MAY 11TH, RIGHT? >>> FOR A SPECIAL MEETING CONTENT ISN'T THAT WHERE YOU

SAID YOU'D GO THROUGH THAT. >>> SO I MET YOUR COUNCIL MEETING, MAY 20TH, WE COULD

DEFINITELY RESERVE. >>> THAT GIVES YOU ENOUGH TIME TO DO A BIT MORE DOWNSTREAM

TRIPLE? >>> ABSOLUTELY. YEAH, BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT AND AGAIN YOU HAVE TO TAKE A STAB AT WHAT WE NEED TO REDUCE IN ORDER TO DO POTENTIALLY

OPTION TWO BARBARA, YEAH, WE CAN DO THAT. >>> I THINK I NEED THAT TO FULLY UNDERSTAND IT. I DEFINITELY UNDERSTAND THE NEED BAR MISSES KATHY HAVE BEEN VERY

AND ABOUT IT SINCE YOU CANNOT COUNCIL. >>> I KNOW P AND WE ALL AGREE THAT IT'S THERE POLICY WITH CASTLE HILLS LAST PIECE WELL, IS THE CONSTITUENTS THAT MADE ME AWARE. I GET CALLS FROM THEM FREQUENTLY.

>>> YES, MA'AM. >>> WE ARE JUST KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD ONE COMMENT PART JUST TO CLEAR, I'M GOING TO GO BACK AND THEY GOT ALL THE AIR PAC CAN GO BACK AND LOOK AT IT IT WAS ORIGINALLY PART WE CAN DO THE RP LATER WHENEVER YOU WANT TO MAKE THAT DECISION.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU SEE EVERYTHING. >>> OKAY.

>>> SO WE WILL WORK ON THAT OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT TWO WEEKS, AND THEN JUST PICK UP THE

CONVERSATION AT THE SECOND MEETING IN MAY. >>> THANK YOU.

>>> I WILL APOLOGIZE. I WILL NOT BE HERE FOR THAT MEETING.

>>> GOT IT. >>> WELL, I MEAN, YOU GO BACK TO HAVING A NUMBER ON RIGHT NOW YOU ARE EVEN NUMBERS SO RIGHT NOW IT CAN BE A SPLIT PARCEL WITHOUT YOU BEING HERE THEY ARE GOING TO BE A MAJORITY AT SOME POINT. IN ANY CASE, IN TERMS OF CITY MANAGER'S REPORT, THAT IS IT FOR THIS EVENING. OUR EXECUTIVE SESSION ITEM IS NOT TIME SENSITIVE AND SO I'M

[03:15:02]

>>> THANK YOU FOR T
