[4. Citizen Communication:]

>>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, COUNCIL, MAYOR PRO-TEM, I JUST WANTED TO THANK THE VICTORIA POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR THEIR SECURITY AT THE PARADE. OFFICER KEPT ME FROM GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT, I WAS DRIVING WRONG WAY DOWN BRIDGE STREET LOOKING FOR A PARKING LOT AND DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT. I THOUGHT THE POLICE WERE DRIVEING THE WRONG WAY, I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS ME. BUT I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK THE POLICE FOR DETECTIVE SOTO AND DETECTIVE GARCIA FOR THE WORK THEY DID IN THE TRAILER PARK.

THEY ARRESTED TWO ALLEGED DRUG DEALERS, ONE OF THE ALLEGED DRUG DEALERS, HE GOT FIVE YEARS DEFERRED ADJUDICATION FOR TAMPERING WITH EVIDENCE. AND THE OTHER GOT FOUR YEARS IN THE STATE JAIL. AND THEY ALSO ARRESTED SOMEONE WHO TRIED TO STRANGLE HIS DAUGHTER. AND HE GOT 100 DAYS IN JAIL. I SAID 100 YEARS -- I WISH, YOU KNOW. AND THEY'VE ALSO ARRESTED OTHER PEOPLE FOR POSSESSION GROUP 1 KRUGS -- DRUGS AND EVENTUALLY PLEA BARGAIN AND GOT HIM FOR FORGERY.

BUT THERE IS A LOT OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY IN THE TRAILER PARK. AND THE LANDLORD IS RENTING TO ALLEGED DRUG DEALERS AND IT DOES MAKE IT NOT A SAFE PLACE TO LIVE.

AND JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR LISTENING AND FOR THE HARD WORK EVERYONE HAS DONE.

THANKS, APPRECIATE IT, SIR, AND MA'AM, TOO. >>> AND HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS,

MICHAEL. >> THAT'S IT FOR THE CITIZENS COMMUNICATION.

[1. An ordinance designating 210.9 acres within the jurisdiction of the Ci...]

SO ITEMS WITH PUBLIC HEARINGS ITEM C 1. >> ITEM C 1 IS AN ORDINANCE DECITHEYED 210.9-ACRES WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF CITY OF VICTORIA AS TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT TO BE KNOWN AS REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER 1 CITY OF VICTORIA, TEXAS.

>> WE DON'T HAVE A LONG PRESENTATION FOR THIS I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A COUPLE OF POINT, FIRST OFF I WANT TO INTRODUCE TRAVIS JAMES WITH TXP, SHE'S BEEN OUR CONSULTANT ALL IF I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I CAN'T ANSWER I'LL DODGE THEM OFF TO HIM THIS IS NOT A TAX INCREASE AND ALL IT DOES IS SIMPLY SETS ASIDE FUTURE DOLLARS THAT WOULD COME IN THANKS TO PROPERTY VALUE GROWTH. WE WOULD ESSENTIALLY SET THAT ASIDE FOR PURPOSES DOWNTOWN.

THE INTENT BEHIND THIS FRONT WOULD BE TO SUPPLEMENT OUR MAIN STREET OPERATIONS.

DO SOME SMALL SCALE CIP PROJECTS AND CONTINUE GRANT OPPORTUNITIES DOWNTOWN TO HELP REVITALIZATION.

WHERE WE ARE IN THE PROCESS IS THAT THROUGH THIS ORDINANCE WE'RE OFFICIALLY PROPOSING CREATING TONIGHT SERVES AS THE OFFICIAL PUBLIC HEARING AS OUTLINED AND REQUIREED THROUGH THE TIRZ LEGISLATION IN THE STATE. THE ORDYNESS BEFORE YOU TODAY IS THE FIRST READING. OFFICIALLY DESIGNATES THE CREATION OF A BOARD, BEING OF SEVEN MEMBERS, ULTIMATELY ONCE THE SECOND AND THIRD READING PASS FOR THIS ORDINANCE ONLY THEN WOULD WE BE ABLE TO ENTER INTO LOCAL INTERAGREEMENTS THAT WANT TO JOIN THE TIRZ, BECAUSE THE TIRZ HAS TO EXIST FOR SOMEONE TO JOIN IT AND THE INTENT EACH OF THOSE ENTITYS THAT CHOOSES TO JOIN HAVE ONE MEMBER ON THIS 17-MEMBER BOARD AND WHATEVER THE BALANCE IS WOULD BE UP TO THE CITY TO APPOINT. THAT IS THE WAY WE'RE RECOMMENDING THAT ASPECT OF IT. AND THAT'S IT. AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN WORKING

[00:10:10]

AND ULTIMATE MALTLY WE HOPE TO FINALIZE IN THE SPRING AND AT THAT POINT WE WOULD SHIFT TO THE IMPLEMENTATION ASPECT OF IT AND GENERALLY TAKE TWO TO THREE YEARS TO SEE RETURN ON THE TIRZ, SO THIS IS A MARATHON, NOT A SPRINT BUT WE DEFINITELY BELIEVE THIS IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO HAVE ANOTHER TOOL IN THE TOOL BOX TO HAVE US WITH DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN WHICH IS THE COMMUNITY DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN AND SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT LEAP TO ANSWER ANY

QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. IS. >> ONE QUESTION I HAD WAS I THINK THE RESOLUTION SAYS A BOARD UP TO 7 MEMBERS AT WHAT POINT DO WE DECIDE EXACTLY HOW MANY ARE GOING TO BE ON THAT BOARD? IS IT DEPENDENT ON HOW MANY OF OUR OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES JOIN? WHERE DO WE MAKE THAT DECISION?

>> I THINK THE INTENT IS FOR IT TO BE A 7-MEMBER BOARD EXNOT AN "UP TO".

BUT OUR INTENT Y'ALL CAN CORRECT ME AND I'M WRONG WAS FOR IT TO BE A 7-MEMBER BOARD IF WE ONLY HAVE TWO OUT OF THE 3 THAT MEANS WE WOULD ONLY HAVE 5 THAT IS THE WAY I UNDERSTANDITY THAT IS THE INTENTION OF IT. THE "UP TO" IS A LITTLE BIT MISLEADING, I AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT POINT. WHEN I WAS DRAFTING THAT LANGUAGE I WAS CONSIDERING THE FACT IT MIGHT BE VAGUE, I DIDN'T OCCUR TO ME IT MIGHT BE MISLEADING.

IF YOU'D LIKE TO AMEND THAT FOR CLARITY PURPOSES THAT WOULD BE FINE.

>>> I THINK UNTIL WE KNOW WHO IS ALL IN OR OUT JUST LEAVE IT LIKE THAT.

>> BY STATE LAW YOU HAVE TO HAVE A MINIMUM OF FIVE BOARD MEMBERS, WE COULD HAVE UP TO THREE ADDITIONAL ENTITIES JOIN. IF WE GO UP TO 7 YOU ALL WOULD HAVE FOUR SEATS EACH OF THOSE ENTITIES WOULD HAVE ONE FOR A TOTALED OF 7. IF NOBODY ELSE JOINS FIVE IS EASIER TO APPOINT THAN SEVEN. WE WERE TRYING TO STRIKE THE BALANCE, MUNN MEMORANDUM BY 5 BY STATE LAW. IF THOSE ENTITIES CHOOSE NOT TO APPOINT SOMEONE YOU WOULD

APPOINT SOMEONE ON THEIR BEHALF. >> AND TO ALSO CLARIFY A QUESTION THAT I RECEIVED PRE-MEETING ON WHEN DO WE ACTUALLY APPOINTED PEOPLE, THE ORDINANCE CREATES THE BOARD.

AND SO TYPICALLY AT THE SHORTLY AFTER FINAL READING WE WOULD HAVE A SEPARATE AGENDA ITEM FOR DISCUSSION ON BOARDS APPOINTMENTS. THAT WOULD COME AFTER THAT PER SNICKETY ON DETAILS A MIN MEMORANDUM OF FIVE, DOES THIS NEED TO STATE THE BOARD WOULD

CONSISTENT OF NO LESS THAN 5? >> IT DOESN'T HAVE TO. BUT, OBVIOUSLY IF YOU COUNCIL FEELS MORE COMFORTABLE HAVING THAT LEGAL OF SPECIFICITY LISTED WE CAN INCORPORATE IT.

>>> IF STATE LAW CALLS FOR IT, THEN THAT SEEMS LIKE THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH.

BUT I'M JUST WONDERING IF IT HAS TO BE IN THERE BECAUSE OF THAT. >> YOUR STATEMENT THAT STATE LAW REQUIRES IT IS ENOUGH. THAT IS THE WAY I CONSIDERED IT AS WELL.

THAT WE DON'T NEED TO STATE THAT WE NEED TO HAVE A MINIMUM OF BECAUSE WE'RE OBVIOUSLY GOING TO

COMPLY WITH STATE LAW AND WE WILL APPOINT THE MINIMUM NUMBER. >> OKAY, THANK YOU.

>> ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR. GARZA OR MR. JAMES OR MANY GWOSDZ?

>> ALL RIGHT, AT THIS TIME I WOULD LIKE TO OPEN ITEM C 1'S PUBLIC HEARING.

ALL THOSE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THE ITEM, PLEASE COME FORWARD. SEEING NO ONE JUMP OUT OF THEIR SEATS TONIGHT. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AND. >> R. >> YES, SIR.

>> ACTUALLY, I SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED WE DID HAVE A VERY SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC MEETING LAST WEEK WE HAD ROUGHLY 20 TO 25 COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT SHOWED UP TO THE MEETING SO ALTHOUGH WE DON'T HAVE MANY ANY OF THE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC HEARING WE DID HAVE A SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC MEETING WITH THE PUBLIC AND SOME OF THE STAKEHOLDERS LAST WEEK. AND THEY HAD REALLY GOOD QUESTIONS VERY SUPPORTIVE OOUR EFFORTS, THAT WAS GOOD FEEDBACK THAT CAME FROM THAT MEETING.

>> THANK YOU ALL FOR HOLDING THAT. >> I THINK IT IS A GREAT TOOL TO MOVE THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN FORWARD, I'M 100% BEHIND IT. I THINK IT IS A GREAT IDEA.

>> ALL RIGHT. >> I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION WE APPROVE ITEM C 1.

>> MOTION AND A SECOND. >> IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION?

>> JUST WANT TO THANK MR. JAMES FOR LEADING US THROUGH THIS, AND GREAT PRESENTATIONS ON ALL OF IT. IT IS VERY WELL SPELLED OUT AND I THINK ANY CONFUSION THAT MIGHT

[00:15:03]

>> MOVE TO ACCEPT AGENDA ITEM AS READ. >>> D 2 IS AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE 2021-2022 BUDGET OF THE CITY OF VICTORIA AND CARING FORWARD INCUMBRANCES OUTSTANDING

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 AND THIS IS ON SECOND AND THIRD READING. >> I JUST HAD A QUESTION ON THE DIFFERENCE ALL THE NUMBERS, THE BUDGET AMENDMENT IS FOR 7, 1,008,570 AND THE ACTUAL FIGURES TOTALED 7,895,887 E 70. AND MISSING THE BOOTFEST ON $2 ,367524 IT WAS MISSING 9,16338.

I'M JUST WONDERING HOW IMPORTANT ALL THE NUMBERS JIVE. >> RIGHT, THE ATTACHMENT WITH THE POS THAT BOOTFEST CONTRACT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION LATE THAT DID NOT NEED TO BE CARRIED OVER IT WAS REMOVED FROM THE AMENDMENT AMOUNT AND ON THE CONSTRUCTION

FUNDS THERE IS 9,000 TKHREUFRPBS THERE. >> TOTAL SALT ACCURATE, THOUGH.

>> THE AMOUNT THAT IS IN THE MEMO. >> THERE ARE TWO NUMBERS.

>> THEY DON'T JIVE. >> ONE IS 7,887 MILLION ASK AND THE GRAND TOTAL ON THAT 7.

868 MILLION SHOULD BE -- I'LL GO BACK AND VERIFY IT TO BE SURE, APOLOGIZE FOR THAT I

DIDN'T REALIZE THERE WAS AN ERROR. >> THAT'S MY QUESTIONS CARRYOVER

AMOUNT DOESN'T MATCH EITHER ONE OF THOSE. >> OKAY.

>> IS THERE ANY -- CAN WE PUT IT ON HOLD UNTIL TUESDAY? >> I CAN HAVE EVERYTHING

CORRECTED. >> OKAY, WE'LL DO THAT OKAY SO WANT TO MOVE TO TABLE IT TO THE

NEXT MEETING. >> I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO DO THAT.

>>> DON'T NEED 20? >> A MOTION TO APPROVE? >> NO NOTHING TO APPROVE.

>> OKAY. >> SO NO ACTION NECESSARY. >> OKAY.

>> THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION MR. GWOSDZ. >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU

[1. Approve an administrative services agreement with Sun Life Financial f...]

MS. SOLIZ FOR PULLING THAT ONE. ITEMS E 1. >>> E 1 IS A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH SUN LIFE FINANCIAL FOR 2022 STOP LOSS

INSURANCE IN THE AMOUNT OF $655,268. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. TONIGHT WE BRING FORTH THE RECOMMENDATION FOR OUR 2022 STOP LOSS AND A BRIEF PRESENTATION ON THE HEALTH FUND IN GENERAL AS WE GO INTO PLAN YEAR 2022.

WE HAVE SAM WITH LOCKTON TONIGHT. TRAVELED IN FROM TEXAS NO TRAFFIC --LE THE DALLAS NO TRAFFIC SO I'LL BELIEVE HIM. ON A SIDE NOTE, I JUST WANT TO

[00:20:02]

TONIGHT STOP LOSS RECOMMEND CANDIDATE SAYS TO MOVE US TO A SUN LIFE WHICH PROVIDES US A 7% DECREASE FROM OUR CURRENT IN RENEWAL OF BLUE CROSS/BLUE SHIELD OF TEXAS.

A LOT OF THIS IS IN THE MEMO PROVIDED TO YOU IN YOUR PACKET AS WELL AS THESE PRESENTATIONS.

LOCKTON SHOPS, IF YOU WILL, FOR STOP LOSS EVERY YEAR FOR US AND BRINGS FORWARD THEN THE BEST DEAL THAT WE CAN HAVE, CURRENTLY WITH BLUE CLOSS/BLUE SHIELD THEY CAME BACK WITH A ZERO INSEAS ON RENEWAL, BUT THAT WAS STILL HIGHER THAN WHAT SUN LIFE WAS GOING PROVIDE TO US.

SO THAT PROVIDES US ABOUT A $48,000 DOLLAR DECREASE WITH REGARDS TO OUR STOP LOSS INSURANCE AT THE SAME CONTRACT RATE WE CURRENTLY HAVE. AS A REMINDER OUR DEDUCTIBLE IS $175,000 AND OUR CONTRACT TERMS ARE THAT 2417 WHICH DOESN'T ALLOW ANY GAP OF COVERAGE WITH REGARD TO OUR STOP LOSS INSURANCE. FOR THOSE THAT MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH STOP LOSS, IT IS AN ADDITIONAL INSURANCE PLAN WE HAVE AS PART OF OUR HEALTH PLAN THAT COVERS ANY ADDITIONAL COST OUTSIDE OF THE 175 DEDUCTIBLE. SO IF WE HAVE A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT CLAIM THEN THAT EXTRA LIABILITY, IF YOU WILL, WILL BE COVERED BY OUR TOP LOSS

INSURANCE AND NOT HILT THE PLAN. >> SO HERE IS THE CHART THAT DESCRIBES THE SHOPPING IN THE MARKET SO TO SPEAK AND ALL THE PLAYERS THAT PROVIDED US WITH A QUOTE, AND AGAIN, OPTION 1 WHICH IS HIGHLIGHTED IN THE CIRCUMSTANCE THERE IS WHAT WE'RE RECOMMENDED TO GO WITH AND THAT

IS SUN LIFE AND THAT WOULD BEGIN JANUARY 1 OF 2022. >> ANY QUESTIONS? NOT SEEING ANY, SO I'LL MOVE ON AND JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU A VERY QUICK RECAP IF YOU WILL OF THE HEALTH FUND, A LITTLE CHEEKY HERE BUT WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE HEALTH OF THE HEALTH FUND THE IF YOU'LL ALLOW US SO 2021 PLAN YEAR RECAP A LOT WAS GOING ON AGAIN, THANKS TO OUR PARTNERS WITH LOCKTON, WE HAD NO MONTHLY PREMIUM INCREASES FOR 2021. NO PLAN DESIGN CHANGES, WE REMAIN THE TWO HIGH DEDUCTIBLE PLAN WE CURRENTLY HAVE, WE DID ADD A LOT OF VALUE TO OUR BENEFIT PACKAGE FOR OUR EMPLOYEE AND SO I'VE GOT A LIST OF ALL THE DIFFERENT THINS WE PROVIDED INCLUDING OFFERING A WIN-TIME ANNUAL PAID SALARY BENEFIT TO OUR EMPLOYEES.

THIS YEAR, WAS A PASSIVE ENROLLMENT, MEANING WE WERE NOT MAKING ANY CHECKS TO THE PLAN.

NOR WERE RERAISING PREMIUM INCREASINGS AGAIN. IT WAS A PASSIVE ENROLLMENT.

IF EMPLOYEES DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE CHANGES THEY JUST CARRIED OVER WHAT THEY HAD FOR 2021.

SO WE BY ALL MEANS CONTINUEED TO WANT TO ADD VALUE TO OUR BENEFIT PACKAGE AND STAY COMPETITIVE.

2022 WE'RE GOING TO FOCUS VERY HEAVILY ON PREVENTION AND WELLNESS WITH PLANS KICKING OFF NEAT FEATURES IN JANUARY AND THEN HOPEFULLY HAVING THAT MOMENTUM THROUGHOUT THE PLAN YEAR OF 2022. WE ALSO ARE FOCUSING ON MENTAL HEALTH.

WE KNOW IN 2021 WE INTRODUCED MA GELAGE WHICH WAS A ROBUST EMPLOYEES PROGRAM.

WE WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT BENEFIT. WE EVEN WENT OUT AND INCLUDED A FIRST RESPONDER MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM THAT WE'LL BE BRINGING TO OUR POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT THAT FOCUSED JUST STRICTLY ON FIRST RESPONDER AND THEIR MENTAL HEALTH.

I WANT TO MAKE A PO*BT TO SAY WE HAVE NOT INCREASED MONTHLY PREMIUMS FOR THREE YEARS NOW.

SO THAT IS A POSITIVE IN OUR HEALTH FUNDS. AND POSSIBLE FOR OUR EMPLOYEES.

WE STILL HAVE WORK TO DO BUT WE'RE HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

I THINK THIS LAST CHART PRETTY MUCH SUMS IT UP. WE ARE DEFINITELY HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION WITH REGARDS TO OUR RESERVE MONTHS. AS A REMINDER WE'D LIKE TO HAVE A GOAL OF HAVING 12 MONTHS IN THAT RESERVE. FISCAL YEAR '22 PROJECTIONS IS SHOWING WE'LL BE AT 7.3 IN OUR RESERVE AS WELL AS AN ENDING WORKING CAPITAL BALANCE OF $3.9 MILLION. SO WE'RE DEFINITELY HEADING IN THE RIGHT TREND SO APPRECIATE ALL YOUR SUPPORT. ANY QUESTIONS I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER.

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT, THE WHOLE

THING. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

APPRECIATE THAT. >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, CHERYL.

>> UH-HUH. ANYBODY LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION? >> ACCEPT E 1.

>> MOTION AND A SECOND ON ITEM E 1. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION?

[00:25:01]

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. >>> OPPOSE, SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES.

[2. Adopt the Storm Drainage Master Plan Update. Ken Gill, Director of Pub...]

ITEM E 2. >> E 2 IS A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE STORM DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN

UPDATE. >> YES, WE'RE HERE TO MAKE A FINAL ADOPTION OF THE MASTER PLAN, THE DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN UPDATE. ONE THING THAT WE FOUND -- THANK YOU, MS. SCOTT WAS ON PAGE 19 OF THE PRESENTATION, WE HAD PUT IN THERE, IT WAS A MISTYPING AND WE NEED TO SAY, INSTEAD OF IT STAYING ON THE PRO RAT THAT CAPACITY IT SHOULD SAY SHARE OF THE CAPACITY. THAT IS ONE OF THE CHANGES, MELVIN IS HERE, MELVIN PINK IS

WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN PREPARING THIS. >> AND HE IS HERE IF YOU'D LIKE

TO SEE IT AGAIN. >> I DO RECOMMENDNA HE RUN THROUGH A 10-MINUTE EXECUTIVE HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW OF IT, IF YOU DON'T MINDS. ALL RIGHT.

>> THAT'S FINE. >> IT'S ALL YOURS. >> THANK YOU, JACK.

>> MAYOR, CALVIN, APPRECIATE WHAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH ON THIS STORM DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN. FIRST, LET ME RECOGNIZE THE CITY STAFF AND THE WORK, THEY REALLY CAME TO THE TABLE OVER THE LAST YEAR. IT IS A LOT OF COMPLICATEED ISSUES WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT FLOODING AND DRAINAGE. AND SO CLEARLY THEY'RE INVOLVEMENT OVER THE LAST YEAR WAS JUST SPLENDID. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

DO I HAVE A CLICKER? >> SO JUST TAKE YOU QUICK-LEVEL HIGHLIGHTS THIS PAST SEPTEMBER WAS REALLY THERE WERE 7 TASK ITEMS OF THE MASTER PLAN. AND WHAT I WILL DO IS HIGHLIGHT A FEW OF THE PARTICULARS IN EACH OF THESE TASK ITEMS WITH YOU. THE FIRST, LET'S RECOGNIZE THAT THE ADOPTED MASTER PLAN IS STILL JUROR JUNE 1999 PLAN. IT WAS RESUBMITTED IN 2007, REALLY FROM THE WORK THAT WAS DONE ON THE DRAINAGE CRITERIA MANUAL SO OUR UPDATE IS REALLY JUST AN ADD-ON TO THE CURRENTLY ADOPTED STORM DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN IT IS A SERIES OF PROJECTS WITHIN THE MASTER PLAN. IT INCLUDES REGIONAL DETENTION BASINS.

CHANNEL REPLACEMENTS AND STORM SEWER REPLACEMENTS. THE CITY OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS HAS BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH SOME OF THOSE PROJECTS OUTLINEED IN THE PLAN.

FOR EXAMPLE, A LONE TREE FACILITY HAS BEEN PARTIALLY CONSTRUCTED FOR ABOUT 75% COMPLETE. AND THEN THERE HAS BEEN A FEW CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS PARTICULARLY ALONG WEST OUTFALL AND LONE TREE CREEK WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE OF THAT PLAN, IT IS BASED ON 1,999-DOLLARS, WHICH AT THAT TIME THE TOTAL COST OF IMPROVES WAS $170 MANY.

AND TODAY'S UPDATED DOLLARS IT IS STILL A PLAN THAT REPRESENTS ABOUT TWO $293 MILLION OF IMPROVEMENTS WE NOTEED TO YOU TALK FEMA FLOODPLAIN MAPS. FEMA IS GOING THROUGH AN UPDATE OF THE MAPS TODAY. AND WE UNDERSTAND THEY MAY BE RELEASED HERE SOMETIME IN 2021.

I WILL QUICKLY JUST TALK ABOUT A FEW OF THE HIGH LEVEL ITEMS HERE WITH YOU.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE FOCUSED ON IN THIS WAS LOOKING AT 45 UNDEVELOPED PARCELS WITHIN THE CITY THAT REPRESENTED ABOUT 1300 ACRES WHAT WHICH CALL INDEPENDENT STUDY AREAS WAS REALLY TO AID THE CITY AND DEVELOPERS IN DEVELOPING PARCELS THAT HAD SOME DRAINAGE CONTHE SAINTS. SO WITH THOSE 45 PARCELS, WE DEVELOPED FIVE REGIONAL DRAINAGE SOLUTIONS, WE WENT INTO DETAIL WITH THESE. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO JUST PAN THROUGH. THERE WERE FIVE ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS IDENTIFIED IN THE PLAN.

THE BUELER PROPERTY DIVERSION PROJECT WHICH WAS $280,265. THE PROJECT B SHENANDOAH DITCH,

[00:30:03]

PROJECT D LONE TREE CREEK OUTFALL AND PROJECT E, KLEG DITCH OUTFALL $2.1 FOR TOTAL OF $13.2 MILLION. LET ME MENTION ALSO THAT PART OF THE DELIVERABLES IS A HARD COPY OF THE REPORT THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR O, SEVERAL COPIES ARE AVAILABLE. CLEARLY WE HAVE IT ALL DIGITAL AS WELL.

BUT SOMETIMES IT IS EASIER TO KIND OF SEE SOME OF THE HARD COPY FIGURES RAINFALL IN TEXAS HAS DEFINITELY BEEN UNDERSTOOD IN BETTER OVER THE TIME PERIOD. , THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS SHOWN FOR THE CITY OF VICTORIA WHAT USED TO UNDERSTAND RAINFALL OF HEN.5 INCHES IS NOW 13.4 INCHES. TODAY WE'RE RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY OF VICTORIA TAKE THAT ADDITIONAL RAINFALL INTO ACCOUNT AS YOU DESIGN YOUR STORM SEWERS AND DRAINAGE FACILITIES WITHIN THE CITY. IN THE CRITERIA THERE ARE ALSO SOME ADDITIONAL CHANGES THAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING. THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE IS A MANDATORY OR PERMANENT DETENTION OPTION, CLEARLY MOST DEVELOPMENTS USE DETENTION TODAY AS A MECHANISM TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T AGGRAVATE ANY EXISTING FLOODING. BUT IT WILL BE A RECOMMENDATION TO INCLUDE PERMANENT DETENTION AND PROJECTS. NOW WE DID PRIDE WITH SEVERAL DETENTION EXEMPTIONS WITH YOU, PARTICULARLY FOR REDEVELOPMENT, AS OUTLINED ON THIS PARTICULAR SLIDE HERE. DEVELOPMENTS LESS THAN ONE ACHEER AND LESS THAN 65% IMPER I HAVEIOUS WOULD BE EXEMPT FROMSH IMPERV USE WOULD BE EXEMPT FROM DEVELOPMENT AND ANY DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE GUADELOUPE RIVER OR LOWER REGIONS OF SPRING CREEK AND THESE ALL HAVE BEEN VETTED THROUGH WITH THE CITY AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC. WE'RE RECOMMENDING A MINIMUM RETENTION RATE TO AIDS THE ENGINEERS AND CITYS TO MAKE SURE PONDS HAVE THE LEVEL OF CAPACITY

FOR MITIGATEING THEIR PROJECT DEVELOPMENTS. >> ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID DO IS AN ADVANCED LOOK AT THE ENTIRE CITIES, SURFACE PONDING, WE RAN TWO-DIMENSIONAL MODEL CALLED A RAIN-ON GRID MODEL TO ALLOW, A SUPER IMPOSE 100-YEAR RAINFALL WHICH IS 13.4 INCHES OVER THE ENTIRE CITY AND THAT WAS CONDITION FIRMED WITH THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT AS WELL

AS FIRE DEPARTMENT. >> AS YOU SEE ON THE IMAGE ON THE LEFT AS YOU REMEMBERED THOSE ARE YOUR FEMA FLOOD PLANES WHEN YOU SUPER IMPOSE THE 100 YEAR FLOOD WITH 13 AND A HALF INCHES A LOOT MORE CITY STREETS ARE CERTAINLY AFFECTED BY HEAVY RAINFALL.

THAT IS VERY COMMON TO YOUR COMMITTEE AS WELL AS MOST COMMUNITYS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS WE TOOK A DEEP DIVE INTO THE UNDERSTANDING YOUR STORM SEWER SYSTEMS AND THE NEEDS OF CLEANING THOSE SYSTEMS. WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT SEVERAL OF THE STORM SEWER SYSTEMS BE CLEANED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS AS WELL AS ROADSIDE DITCHES AND WE HAVE PUT THOSE NUMBERS TOGETHER FOR YOU IN THE PLAN WE ARE ALSO RECOMMENDING SOME MAINTENANCE NEEDS ALONG YOUR DRAINAGE CHANNELS THERE ARE REPAIRS NEEDED ON THE CONCRETE LINE CHANNELS AND SEDIMENT REMOVE THE UPDATED COST ITEM WILL AMOUNT TO 83.7 MILLION END WITH SEVEN RECOMMENDATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN PROVIDED TO COUNCIL IN THE MASTER PLAN UPDATE, ADDITIONAL DETAIL STUDYS IS THE FIRST RECOMMENDATION PARTICULARLY FOR DEVELOPABLE WATERSHED SUCH AS JIM BRANCH AND MERCADO CREEK.

RECOMMENDATION NUMBER TWO, A DRAINAGE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM TO ENSURE AN ANNUAL CLEANING OF STORM SEWERS AND DITCHES. RECOMMENDATION NUMBER 3 IS A CHANNEL REPAIR PROGRAM.

ALSO, TO REPLACE CONCRETE FAILURES. RECOMMENDATION NUMBER 4 IS TO LOOK AT THE ADOPTION OF THOSE SIX REGIONAL PLANS RECOMMENDATION NUMBER FIVE IS TO

[00:35:07]

>> ONE QUESTION ON RECOMMENDATION NUMBER TWO, PRICE TAG OF 28.3 MILLION IS THAT

ANNUALLY? >> THAT IS A TOTAL COST AS WE'VE IDENTIFIED TODAY SO THAT IS A

TOTAL COST THAT IS NOT AN ANNUAL COST. >>> WE REALISTICALLY IF WE WANTED TO BREAK DOWN AND ESTABLISH TRUE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM WE WOULD OBVIOUSLY DIVIDE THE CITY UP AND DEVELOP A STRATEGY HOW OFTEN WE WANT THESE THINGS TAKING PLACE.

THIS IS A COST IF WE DID IT ALL AT ONCE TOMORROW. >> I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE HIGHER NUMBER OF RAINFALL IN THE 100-YEAR FLOOD TO BRING THAT IN AND ADOPT IT.

THE IMPLICATION OF THAT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THEN THE DEVELOPER -- DEVELOPER WOULD HAVE TO PREPARE FOR THAT AMOUNT OF RAIN AS OPPOSEED TO THE

11 INCHES THEY WOULD HAVE TO PREPARE FOR 13. >> YES, MA'AM, IN TERMS OF THE STORM SURGE COST, THE RAINFALL IS COMPARABLE TO TODAY'S. YOU DESIGN YOUR STORM FOR FIVE-YEAR LEVEL OF SERVICE SO THE FIVE-YEAR RAINFALL IS COMPARABLE BETWEEN YOUR CURRENT CRITERIA AND THE NEW CRITERIA. WHAT IT WILL AFFECT IS REALLY THE RETENTION PONDS WHERE YOU HAVE TO STORE MORE WATER, THE 1.9 INCHES OF WATER THAN THE 11.4 INCHES.

>> THANK YOU, I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION, I APPRECIATE THAT.

>> YES. >> FURTHER QUESTIONS? >> THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE THIS EVENING. >> WE NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND

TO MOVE FORWARD. >> MOVE FOR ADOPT ADOPTION OF E 2.

>>> SECOND. >> MOTION AND SECOND, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION?

>> THOUGHTS, QUESTIONS? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. >> THOSE OPPOSE SAME SIGN.

>> I THINK WE SHOULD SAY THANK YOU TO THE STAFF FOR ALL THESE MASTER PLANS THEY HAD GOING ALL AT ONCE NAVBEEN PRESENTED WELL AND I THINK I'VE UNDERSTOOD THEM, THAT IS PROBABLY DANGEROUS

TO SAY, BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH, TOO AND TO ALL THE STAFF. >> THAT FINISHES OFF ALL THE

MASTER PLAN. >>> FOR THIS YEAR, YEAH, YOU KNOW, IT IS, YOU KNOW, I DO THINK WE DEFINITELY FEEL A HIGH SENSE OF PRIDE AND WE FEEL VERY PROUD OF THE FACT WE WERE ABLE TO PUSH THROUGH IN SPITE OF A PANDEMIC AND GOING THROUGH ALL OF THESE PROCESSES TO GET THEM DONE AND COMPLETEED THIS YEAR. IN RETROSPECT, YOU KNOW, IT WAS A LOT.

BUT I THINK WE'RE GOING BE BETTER FOR IT. AND I THINK YOU WILL GET A BETTER SENSE OF THAT ON FRIDAY WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE CIP. NOW THAT WE HAVE JUST MUCH MORE INFORMATION TO DISCUSS IN OUR EFFORT TO DIVERSIFY THE CIP. I THINK IT IS A WELL WORTH

EXERCISE THAT WE WENT THROUGH. >> THANK YOU. >> ONTO ITEM E 3.

[3. Authorize an application to FEMA's Building Resilient Infrastructure C...]

>>> E 3 IS A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN APPLICATION TO FEMA'S BUILDING RESILIENT INFRASTRUCTURE COMMUNITIES PROGRAM IN AN APPROXIMATE ABOUT OF $6 MILLION FOR AQUIFER STORAGE AND RECOVERY PROJECT COMMITING THE CITY'S MATCH REQUIREMENT AND IDENTIFYING THE

SOURCE OF FUNDING FOR THE MATCH. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF APPLYING FOR A GRANT TO FEMA'S BUILDING RESILIENT INFRASTRUCTURE.

IT IS ACTUALLY AND COMMUNITIES. FIRST OF ALL, LET ME SAY I CAN'T TAKE A WHOLE LOT OF CREDIT FOR THE CONTENT OF THIS GRANT, EVEN THOUGH I DID ACTUALLY SUBMIT IT MYSELF LAST FRIDAY.

I SAY IN THE PROCESS, BECAUSE IT IS COMING FROM FEMA BUT COMING THROUGH THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. SO THEY'RE GOING TO GET IT FIRST AND THEN IT WILL GO ONTO FEMA BY TEND OF THE MONTH. BUT WE HIRED ARCADIAS TO HELP US DEVELOP -- ARCADIS AND THEY WERE HEROIC IN GETING THE CONTENT DEVELOPED. REALLY QUICKLY I WANT TO SAY THE TOTAL REQUESTED ENDED UP AT $6.33 MILLION. THE FEDERAL SHARE WILL BE POUR.2. OUR LOCAL SHARE $1.8. AND WE ARE ASKING FOR 5% MANAGEMENT COST. THAT IS FOR OUR USE FOR MANAGEING THE GRANT.

AND THIS IS SO -- THIS IS WHERE IT IS GOING TO GO AND IT IS ON THE SAME SIDE AS WATER TOWER

[00:40:05]

SO THIS ONE WILL NOW BE IN THE NORTHERN PRESSURE ZONE. SO IT IS SERVING A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PART OF THE CITY, BUT THE OTHER REALLY IMPORTANT POINT THERE IS THEY CAN SERVE AS BACKUP FOR EACH OTHER, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT CAME UP WHEN WE HAD THE WINTER FREEZE.

IN IS NOT ONLY ADDRESSING OUR ISSUES IN TERMS OF DROUGHT, BUT ALMOST, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF OUR OTHER WATER ISSUES THIS CAN STILL HELP WITH THAT. AND SO THIS WELL IS GOING DRAW FROM, I GUESS DRAW AND REPLENISH WATER FROM EVAN YES LIEN ACFYER -- AQUIFERS AND I WANTED

TO BE QUICK ON THIS SO THAT IS ALL I HAVE ON THE THAT. >>> THE ONLY THING I'LL ADD, CAN

YOU GO BACK TO THE SLIDE THAT SHOWS THE BUDGET? >> YES.

>> I WANT TO JUST CLARIFY AND MAKE CLEAR THAT CURRENTLY WITH HAVE $2.5 MILLION BUDGET FORD A NASR PROJECT WHAT WE'RE IN ESSENCE SUGGESTING TAKING A BIG PORTION OF THE $2.5 MILLION AND APPLYING TOWARDS THIS GRANDS. WE'RE TAKING DOLLARS ALREADY BUDGETED AND ALREADY THERE AND LEVERAGEING THEM TO DO SOMETHING GREATER AND SOMETHING BEDER AND SOMETHING BIGGER.

NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT WHERE THAT MATCH WOULD COME FROM AND FORGET IT.

A COMMENT ON THE 5% MANAGEMENT COST, YOU MAY RECALL WE INITIATED GROWING THE TEAM UNDER KATIE, THANKS TO THE AQUA FUNDS BUT WE NEED TO FIND A MORE LONG-TERM SOLUTION TO FIND THAT OPERATION GOING, BECAUSE I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT HAVING AN INTENTIONAL GRANT MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT OFFICE, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT IS IN OUR BEST INTEREST, AND AS WE GET MORE GRANTS IT WILL PAY FOR ITSELF. BUT IT IS IMPORTANT AS WE PURSUE THESE OPPORTUNITIES START ASSESSING OURSELVES AND MANAGEMENT FEE SO THAT WE CAN IN THAT WAY KEEP THE OFFICE GOING, KEEP OUR PERSONNEL GOING SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO THEN BE DEPENDENT ON OUR GENERAL FUND OR ANY OTHER SOURCE FOR THAT. THAT IS THE WAY OTHER COMMUNITIES ONCE THEY'RE UP AND RUNNING WITH THESE PROGRAMS THAT IS HOW THEY PAY FOR THOSE OPERATIONS, JUST CHARGE IT TO THE GRANT AND SO THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF US ATTEMPTING TO DO THAT.

>> ANY QUESTIONS? >> WHAT IS THE NUMBER OF THE WELL NOW.

>>> WELL NUMBER 4. >> TOW WERE, I'M SORRY TOWER NUMBER FOUR.

I DID THAT THE OTHER DAY. I'M SORRY, THAT IS WATER TOWER NUMBER 4.

>>> AND THE WELL? >> OH, I DON'T KNOW. >> IT WILL BE A NEW WELL.

>> THEY'RE TRIALING A NEW WELL. THE WELL WOULD BE THE ASR WELL. >> SO.

>> CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO ME WHY IT MATTERS NORTH AND SOUTH PRESSURE ZONE THIS WATER IF INJECTED AND PULLED BACK OUT WOULD INDUSTRIAL TO BE SENT TO THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT.

>> WHAT THIS ONE DOES IS ACTUALLY IT WILL BE TREATED WATER THAT WE PUMP RIGHT DOWN INTO THE WELL INTO THAT IT IS A RECHARGE, WE'RE GOING RECHARGE THE AQUIFER AND IT WILL CREATE A BUBBLE AND PUSH THE REGULAR WELL THE UNDERGROUNDWATER OUT AND AS WE PUSH TREATED WATER DOWN THEN AT THE TIME WE NEED THAT WATER, THEN WE PULL IT OUT INSTEAD OF PUSHING IT DOWN, WE PULL IT OUT AND ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS CHLORINATE IT. IT IS BASICALLY TREATED WATER, OUR SYSTEM WATER AND WE GET TO PULL IT OUT AND IT IS THE GOOD PART IS GROUNDWATER AND OUR SURFACE WATER, IF YOU MIX THOSE TWO DIRECT THERE IS CONSTITUENTS THAT WILL GIVE US TASTE AND ODOR ISSUES WITH OUR TREATED WATER, BEING SURFACE WATER DOWN THERE AND WE PULL IT BACK OUT, THAT WILL REDUCE THAT POSSIBILITY OF TASTE AND ODOR. AND REMEMBER THE ASR SYSTEM IS A LONG-TERM SOLUTION TO GIVE US ADDITIONAL WATER IN TERMS OF DROUGHT.

ASR LOOKING AT TEN WELLS AND THE GEOGRAPHY MATTERS BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED NOW, YOU MAY RECALL RIGHT NOW THE WAY WE FEED THE WATER TOWERS TO THE NORTH IS THROUGH ONE MAIN LINE AND OBVIOUSLY WE'RE FUNDING A REDUNDABOUT SYSTEM SO THERE IS A IF SOMETHING WERE TO THAOP THE INFRASTRUCTURE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OR THE MAIN LINE, THEN WE CAN PUMP STRAIGHT INTO THE SYSTEM FROM THE NORTH SIDE AND SINCE THAT IS WHERE IT BEGINS AND GRAVITY FEEDS ALL THE WAY DOWN,

THEN THAT IS THE BENEFIT, RIGHT? >> OKAY. MAKES SENSE.

>> TIMING THON? >> SO WHEN DO YOU EXPECT TO HEAR ANYTHING BACK?

[00:45:05]

IS. >> AS UNDERSTAND IT IT WILL BE ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF 2022

BEFORE WE WOULD HAVE AN ANSWER ON THIS ONE. >> ANYTHING WE HAD PREVIOUSLY

PLANNED FOR ASR WE'RE GOING HAVE TO HOLD OFF FOR ANOTHER YEAR ON. >> ANYTHING RELATED TO THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT, YES YOU WANT TO WAIT UNTIL YOU FIND OUT IF YOU GET THE GRANT AND THE GRANT CONTRACT IN PLACE BECAUSE THEY DON'T ALWAYS COVER PRE-ENGINEERING OR PREWORK AND THEY CERTAINLY DON'T FUND PRE-CONSTRUCTION BUT IF THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE THAT WOULD BE

SOMETHING DIFFERENT. >> I'M JUST TALKING ABOUT WE ALREADY BUDGETED 2.2.

>> WE CAN HAVE THAT CONVERSATION ON FRIDAY. >>> DID YOU JUST SAY THERE WOULD

BE TEN ASR WELLS WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE? >> I DID NOT.

>> THE ULTIMATE MAT PLAN IS TO HAVE TEN WELLS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

AGAIN, IT IS A LONG-TERM, NOT SOMETHING WE NEED RIGHT AWAY, BUT A LONG-TERM GOAL TO BUILD OUR ADDITIONAL WATER CAPACITY, OUR WATER SUPPLY INSTEAD OF JUST RELYING SOLELY ON THE RIVER.

AND IT IS A RECOVERY SYSTEM THAT HAS BEEN REALLY VETTED THROUGH ACROSS THE COUNTRY A LOT OF OTHER STATE, CITIES, SAN ANTONIO IS DOING IT, OTHER PLACES ARE DOING IT, IT ASK A GREAT WAY TO

CAPTURE THE WATER THAT IS JUST FLOWING DOWN THE RIVER. >> SIM LAR TO EACH OF THESE WELLS. IT IS GOING TO BE A MUCH BETTER SITUATION BUILT UPON THE WATER THERE IS NO DOUBT, THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WE WANT TO GO TO NEW WELLS INSTEAD OF TRYING TO

RETRO FIT AN OLDER ONE. >> THANK YOU. >> GREAT, HAPPY TO GET THIS

GRANT. >>> THE EXPERIMENT WORKED AND SO NOW WE CAN GO FULL SPEED AHEAD.

>> KEEP OUR FINGERS CROSSED FOR THE GRANT. ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

>> ITEM E 3. >> SECOND. >> SECOND.

>> ALREADY, MOTION AND A SECOND IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

>>> AYE. >> THOSE OPPOSE SAME SIGN. THAT DOES IT FOR ALL OUR ACTION
