SHE HAS BEEN A FABULOUS ATTORNEY FOR THOSE DEPARTMENTS. 
          SHE HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT SHE'S READY TO STEP UP INTO THIS JOB. AND WHAT NOBODY PROBABLY KNOWS AS WELL AS I KNOW, IS THAT ONE OF THE ROLES SHE HAS SERVED IN OUR DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN AS MY SOUNDS BOARD.

          I HAVE ONE OTHER ONE, DO YOU HAVE ONE, TOO? >> NO. 
          >> I WANTED TO RECOGNIZE A COUPLE OF CITY EMPLOYEES, I KNOW THIS IS TYPICALLY SOMETHING MR. GARZA TAKES CARE OF BUT I HAD A REPORT FROM A CITIZEN OF SOME AGGRESSIVE VAI GANS. 
          THEY WERE CAMPING IN A PUBLIC PROPERTY. AND ACTUALLY A PRETTY DANGEROUS PUBLIC PROPERTY IN A DRAINAGE DITCH. AND PATROL OFFICERS, VELA AND JOHNSON ALONG WITH SERGEANTS WENT TO TALK TO THE FIVE INDIVIDUALS AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING TO THEM. OF COURSE, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THEY WEREN'T VERY HAPPY TO BE LEAVING. BUT THESE VAI GRANTS HAD BEEN AGGRESSIVE TOWARDS CITIZENS, DOING THINGS ON, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE'S PROPERTIES THAT THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN DOING. 
          AND THEY LEFT BEHIND A LOT OF TRASH AS WELL. AND DARRYL BARNES FROM THE SOLID WASTE DEPARTMENT WENT OUT THERE. HE HAD AN ENTIRE PICKUP TRUCK LOAD, PLUS, MORE OF TRASH THAT WAS LEFT BEHIND. BUT ALL HIS EMPLOYEES WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND JUST TAKING CARE OF WHAT COULD HAVE ESCALATING INTO A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND GETTING IT TAKEN CARE OF. 
          AND I REALLY APPRECIATE IT AND THE PROMPT RESPONSE FROM EVERYBODY SO THANK YOU. 
          ALL. THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR PUBLIC AND EMPLOYEE RECOGNITIONS. 
          [3. Items from Council:]
          ITEMS FROM COUNCIL? >> I HAVE ONE. >> YES, MA'AM. 
          >> SO AFTER SHOWERING MR. GWOSDZ WITH ALL THESE ACCOLADES I WANT TO PUT HIM BACK TO WORK. 
          I'VE BEEN CONTACTED BY CONSTITUENTS IN THE BELL TOWER SUBDIVISION, ALSO IN THE FLEETWOOD SUBDIVISION ABOUT PEOPLE STORING TRAILERS WHETHER THEY'RE TO A LARGE EXTENT THE TRAILERS THAT YOU HAUL THINGS ON, BUT ALSO JUST STORING CARS ON THE STREET FOR EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME AND I KNOW THE POLICE DEPARTMENT CAN DO SOMETHING ON THAT, BUT IT IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT AND CERTAINLY NOT A HIGH PRIORITY, AND I'VE EXPLAINED THAT TO MY CONSIT WENTS. IT IS NOT A HIGH PRIORITY, BUT STILL IT IS SOMETHING THAT THEY DESERVE HELP WITH. I UNDERSTAND THAT EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 1ST OF 27 '21 
          [00:15:05]
THERE WAS A REVISION IN THE OCCUPATION CODE THAT MIGHT ALLOW THE CITY TO USE SOME OTHER DEPARTMENTS OR USE SOME OTHER MEANS TO HELP US WITH THIS SITUATION. 
          AND SO IF WE COULD GET SOME KIND OF REPORT AT A FUTURE AGENDA ON POSSIBLY SOME NEW WAYS TO HELP US DEAL WITH THAT. BECAUSE I SUSPECT EVERYBODY HEARS FROM CONSTITUENTS FROM 
          TIME TO TIME. >> YES, MA'AM, I'M FAMILIAR WITH THE BILL YOU'RE DESCRIBING AND 
          WOULD BE HAPPY TO GIVE A REPORT. >>> THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT, ASK I'VE GOT ONE MR. MAYOR. AGAIN, SOME CONSTITUENTS HAVE COME TO ME IN THAT REGARD TO CONCERNS ABOUT DEMOLITION OF SOME HISTORIC STRUCTURES OR WHAT THEY DEEM ADDRESS HISTORIC STRUCTURES. WITH OUR CITY AND US LOOKING AT THE HISTORICAL VALUE AND HISTORICAL TOURISM BEING A PART OF THAT, I WANTED TO AT LEAST HAVE A DISCUSSION UP HERE AND STAFF'S INVOLVEMENT AS WELL, WHAT IS THE CITY'S ROLE IN HELPING PRESERVE THIS? TO EDUCATE OURSELVES IN THAT REGARD? EDUCATE THE PUBLIC AND OTHER ENTITIES THAT ARE INVOLVED IN HISTORIC PRESERVATION? AGAIN, I IMAGINE IT IS A DEATH DELICATE TOPIC TO DISCUSS BUT AT LEAST LET'S GET IT OUT THERE AND HAVE A DISCUSSION ASK ADD IT TO THE NEXT MEETING'S AGENDA THEN TO HAVE A GOOD DISCUSSION ABOUT IT. 
          >> THANK YOU. YEAH. ANYBODY? 
          [4. Citizen Communication:]
NO. CITIZEN'S COMMUNICATION, WE HAVE ONE GENTLEMAN THIS EVENING, 
          MR. MICHAEL VONDERRA. >> I JUST WANTED TO THANK THE CITY ATTORNEY FOR SOME ANIMAL RULES HE MADE. I PRAY HIS MOST IMPORTANT ACCOMPLISHMENT IN HIS CAREER SINCE HE'S BEEN HERE. THERE ARE TOO MANY DOGS AND CATS RUNNING LOOSE AND HE MADE A RUE AND LAW -- RULE AND LAW WHERE YOU TO I GET THEM FIXED AND ANIMAL CONTROL WAS GIVING THEM SIX MONTHS BEFORE ENFORCING IT. I THINK IT IS THE 6-MONTH RULE. AND ALSO WHEN THEY CAPTURE ONE OF YOUR ANIMALS, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GET IT CHIPPED. AND ANOTHER THING HE ACCOMPLISHED WAS HE UPDATED CITY CHARTER. IT WAS ABOUT 50 YEARS BEHIND TIME AND HE UPDATED IT TO THE YEAR 2022. SO I APPRECIATE IT, AND I STILL HAVE LOOSE PIT BULLS RUNNING MY TRAILER AREA. IT WAS ON MY YARD. 
          AND IT HAS BEEN RUNNING AROUND LOOSE SINCE NOVEMBER. AND ANIMAL CONTROL DID GIVE HIM A TICKET, BUT DESPITE THAT, IT IS STILL RUNNING LOOSE. I TALKED TO THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT. AND IF THAT DOG OWNER DON'T DO SOMETHING, I'M JUST GOING TO FILE ANOTHER CITIZEN'S COMPLAINT. I DID FILE ONE IN OKAY FOR THOSE TWO PIT BULLS THAT ATTACKED POLICE OFFICERS. THAT WAS RESOLVED. 
          BUT JUST WANTED TO TELL MR. THOMAS -- I CAN'T PRONOUNCE YOUR LAST NAME. 
          GO LUCK IN HIS FUTURE. WE'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH CATALYTIC CONVERTERS BEING STOLEN AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT DIDN'T MAKE A COUPLE OF ARRESTS. ONE WAS AN EXFRIEND OF THE TRAILER PARK MANAGERS, YOU KNOW HE WAS INDICTED FOR CRIME WHILE HE WAS A TRAILER PARK MANAGER. 
          AND HE HAD SOME VERY SKETCHY FRIENDS. AND ANOTHER THING WE HAVE GOING ON IN THE TRAILER PARK. WE HAVE SEX OFFENDERS. I DON'T KNOW IF SEX OF REND S ARE HAL LOUD LIVE THERE BECAUSE IT IS A SCHOOL ZONE. ONE PERSON LIVED THERE ONE DAY AND MOVE BECAUSE SHE FOUND OUT HER NEIGHBOR WAS A SEX OF PREPONDERANCER, I WISH EVERYONE 
          COULD HAVE A LOOK INTO THAT. THANKS, EVERYONE. >> THAT WILL CLOSE CITIZEN'S 
          COMMUNICATION AND GO TO ITEMS WITH PUBLIC HEARINGS. >> C 1 IS A AN ORDINANCE 
          [1. An ordinan ce amending and re-adopting Traffic Regulation Schedules as...]
AMENDING AND REDEVELOPING TRAFFIC REGULATION SCHEDULES AS PROVIDED IN THE CITY CODE. 
          >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL, MAYOR. THIS IS -- WE'RE BRINGING TRAFFIC ORDY INSTANCE TO ADOPT THE REGULATION SCHEDULES FOR TWO YEARS. THE FIRST AREA BEING THE SOCCER FIELD AREA. IT IS RED RIVER FROM VINE STREET ALL THE WAY TO MEMORIAL, CURRENTLY RED RIVER HAS NO PARKING FROM VINE STREET TO SAM HOUSTON. 
          WE'RE EXTENDING IT ALL THE WAY DOWN BECAUSE OF THE PARKING LOT THAT WE'VE INSTALLED TO KEEP THE VEHICLES FROM PARKING ALONG THE ROAD AND CAUSING DAMAGE THE ROAD. 
          [00:20:01]
ALSO, INCLUDED IN THAT SAME NO PARKING RESTRICTIONS WOULD BE LONG BLUFF STREET. 
          THE OTHER CHANGE TO THE TRAFFIC REGULATION SCHEDULE IS INSTALLING PERMANENT SCHOOL ZONE SIGNAGE OVER THERE AT LIBERTY CAMPUS THIS IS WHERE TOMAN CLOSED TO MOVE HIS CAMPUS OUT HERE. WE'VE GOT THE SIGNSER WRECKED AND SCHOOL FLASHERS ARE 
          OPERATIONAL AT THIS TEAM. THESE ARE THE TWO BIG CHANGES. >> ALL RIGHT, AT THIS TIME I WILL I'M PUBLIC HEARING ONTOMY C 1. SEEING NO ONE REECE UP WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR. GILL? 
          >> YEAH. >> SOME SCHOOL ZONES ARE 20 AND OTHERS ARE 25, IS THERE A 
          REASON? >> THE SLOWER SPEEDS ARE IN FRONT OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS TYPICALLY. THIS IS A STANDARD -- THIS ONE IS SET UP AT 20, ALL THE SCHOOL ZONES ARE SET UP AT 20. SOME ARE 25, BECAUSE THEY'RE ON A FASTER STREET. 
          YOU CAN ONLY REDUCE THE SPEED SO MUCH AT ONE TIME. >> THAT IS WHAT I WAS WONDERING. 
          >> YEAH. >>> THANK YOU. >> THESE ARE ALL 20. 
          >> OKAY. >> DOES THAT MEAN THEY'RE KEEPING THE SCHOOL THERE? 
          >> AS FAR AS I KNOW, I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING DIFFERENT. BUT IT IS AN ISSUE THAT PVMENT D HAS BEEN HAVING AND -- PD HAS BEEN HAVING AND POLICE CHIEF TOOK ME OUT THERE PERSONALLY TO SHOW ME THE VOLUME OF CHILDREN THAT WALK FROM AIRLINE TO BEN WILSON. 
          THAT IS HOW WE ADOPTED THE LINKS, IT WAS A COORDINATED EFFORT BETWEEN US AND PEE DEE -- 
          AND PD. >> AND YOU GO BACK TO THE BLUFF PICTURE THE BLUFF AND RED RIVER. 
          WHY ALSO BLUFF, NOT JUST RED RIVER? >> WE'VE HAD SOME CONCERNS WITH PARKING ALONG THAT SAME STRETCH. AND WE JUST WANT TO GO AHEAD AND KEEP THE CARS AND VEHICLES FROM PARKING ALONG THOSE EDGES. WE'RE AFRAID IF THEY GET TOO FAR INTO THAT CORNER, THEY'LL GET INTO THE DITCH. THEY'LL CAUSE US MAINTENANCE ISSUES. 
          >> IT IS NOT JUST THAT, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT KEN FORGOT TO MENTION IS QUITE FRANKLY THE SAFETY ASPECT OF THE KIDS. IF YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO GO, YOU KNOW, ON SATURDAYS WHEN IT IS BUSY, IT IS HARD TO YOU KNOW, SEE KIDS RUNNING ACROSS THE STREET, TRYING TO GET TO A VEHICLE OR GOING FROM A VEHICLE TO A FIELD. AND WHEN YOU HAVE CARS PARKED, YOU KNOW ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET, KIDS JUST DART OUT. QUITE FRANKLY THERE IS A CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF THE KIDS AS WELL. BY HAVING THIS NEW PARKING RESTRICTIONS IT ALSO HOPE. LY WOULD PREVENT ANYTHING FROM HAPPENING. 
          AND HOPEFULLY IT CHANGES FOLKS HABITS TO BE SAFER AND PICK UP AND DROP OFF OF KIDS TO FOR THAT 
          TO NOT OCCUR ON A STREET. >> THAT IS VERY CLEAR FOR RED RIVER STREET, BUT THERE IS A GATE ON THE BACK PART OF THAT LAST SOCCER FIELD THAT PARALLELS BLUFF, RIGHT? 
          >> BUT THAT IS MORE OF A MAINTENANCE GATE. BUT, YEAH, IT IS THERE. 
          >> IS THERE QUIET PARKING AS IT IS NOW? >> THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION. 
          OUR BELIEF IS THAT THERE IS. BECAUSE THERE IS MORE PARKING THAN JUST THE NEWLY PAVED PARKING LOT. THERE ARE PARKING AREAS, YOU KNOW, ALONG THE FORMER FOUNDATION, THAT FOUNDATION THAT STILL REMAINS. NOW, WE KNOW THAT WE CAN MAKE MORE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE AREA THAT SURROUNDSES THAT FOUNDATION ON THE OTHER SIDE, AS OPPOSED TO JUST THE SIDE THAT WE'VE DONE. SO BUT WE BELIEVE IN THERE IS ENOUGH PARKING THERE. 
          NOW WE ARE AND EXPLORING THE POSSIBILITY OF POTENTIALLY ADDING ANOTHER PARKING LOT AT THE INTERSECTION OF BLUFF AND RED RIVER, SORT OF IN THAT TRY ANGULAR PIECE YOU SEE THERE. 
          TO CREATE AT LEAST ANOTHER OPTION FOR PARKING ON THE OPPOSITE ENDS. 
          AND WE WOULD HAVE TO CREATE A SAFE CROSSING CONDITION THAT HOPEFULLY FOLKS WOULD FOLLOW. 
          BUT THAT WOULD AT LEAST PROVIDE LONG-TERM PARKING ON BOTH ENDS OF THAT COMPLEX AND OBVIOUSLY THE MASTER PLAN CALLS FOR FIELDS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF RED RIVER, SORT OF IN THAT RECTANGLE, CLOSE TO THE AMERICA OF BLUFF AND RED RIVER, IF THOSE BECOME SOCCER FIELDS THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE, YOU KNOW, ANOTHER PARKING LOT CLOSER TO THAT INTERSECTION AND THAT WHOLE INTERSECTION WOULD HAVE TO BE JUST A SAFER CROSS CONDITION, PART OF WHAT CAME OUT OF THE POLICE OFFICER MASTER 
          [00:25:07]
PLAN IS US TRYING TO ASSEMBLING THE PERCEPTION ON WHERE THE PARK STARTS SO THAT HOPEFULLY IT SLOWS DOWN TRAFFIC AS PEOPLE GO THROUGH THIS WHOLE AREA AS POAPSED TO PEOPLE'S PERCEPTION THINKING THAT THE PARK, THE ENTRANCE TO THE PARK IS WHEN YOU GET TO THE FRONT OF THE STADIUM. 
          WE KNOW THERE ARE IMPROVEMENTS THAT NEED TO BE MADE, WHETHER IT IS SIGNAGE, SPEED LIMIT, YOU KNOW, OTHER STARR IMPROVEMENTS TO HOPEFULLY MAKE THIS WHOLE AREA SAFER LONG-TERM. 
          BUT IN THE MEANTIME THIS IS A STEP, YOU KNOW, IN THAT DIRECTION. 
          >> SO WE NEED A MOTION TO NOVEMBER HER CARD. >>> SO MOVE. 
          >> SECOND. >> MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE ITEM C 1, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL KNOWS FAVOR AAYE A. THOSE OPPOSE SAME SIGNLE 
          [2. Establish the City of Victoria PACE Program and approve a professional...]
          MOTIONER CARRIES C 2. >> C 2 IS A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE CITY OF VICTORIA PACE PROGRAM, AND TO APPROVE A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH TEXAS PACE 
          AUTHORITY TO ADMINISTER THE CITY OF VICTORIA PACE PROGRAM. >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, TONIGHT I DO HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE WITH ME AGAIN FROM THE TEXAS PACE AUTHORITY. AND THAT IS CHARLENE HIDINGER, I'M SORRY IF I MISSAID THAT. 
          BUT DO A BRIEF RECAP ON WHAT WE HAVE TONIGHT. FIRST, AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING WE PRESENTED THE ITEM TO YOU AS A LETTER OF INTENT FOR THE RESOLUTION, TO FLIGHT YOU HAVE THE RESOLUTION AND A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE TEXAS PACE AUTHORITY TO CONSIDER. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I CAN HELP AND SO CAN CHARLENE. 
          >> THIS IS A WONDERFUL PROGRAM. >> AT THIS TIME, LET ME OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM C 2, ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, PLEASE COME FORWARD TO THE MICROPHONE. 
          >> J THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS, MR. GARCIA. MY NAME IS CHARLENE HIDINGER WE HAVE A 501(C)(3) CREATED TO FOR THIS PROGRAM FOR CITIES AND COUNTIES ACROSS THE STATE, YOU WILL BE NUMBER 78 IF YOU CHOOSE TO MOVE FORWARD TODAY AND IT WILL BE OUR HONOR TO SERVE YOU, WE DO THIS AS A PUBLIC SERVICE. THERE IS NO COST TO TAXPAYERS. WE DO NOT HAVE AN IMPACT ON STAFF. BUT OUR HOPE IS TO MAKE THE IMPROVEMENTS TO COMMERCIAL AND NONPROFIT PROPERTIES TO MAKE THEM MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT, WATER EFFICIENT, TO CREATE POWER ON SITE TO MAKE THAT FINANCIALLY VIABLE. WHICH WE'VE SEEN ACROSS THE STATE WITH REGARD TO OLDER PROPERTIES AND HISTORIC PROPERTIES OFTEN THE ADDITION OF THIS FINANCING MECHANISM MAKES THOSE TO BE BROUGHT BACK ON TAX ROLLS. 
          SO TO THE WHOLE IDEA HERE IS TO REMOVE BARRIERS OF EXPENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS TO PROPERTY SO THAT THESE BUSINESSES BECOME STRONGER, THEY'RE OPERATING INCOME INCREASES AND CAN HIRE MORE PEOPLE AND BRING MORE VIBRANCY TO THE CITY. WE'RE GRATEFUL TO MS. WILLIAMS BRINGING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO OWORKINGG WITH HER AND KATE AND ALL OF YOU. I KNOW YOU HAVE A BUSY SCHEDULE TONIGHT SO IF I CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT OTHERWISE I'LL GET OUT OF YOUR WAY. 
          >> THANK YOU AND WELCOME. >> THANK YOU. >> YES, THANK YOU FOR WORKING 
          WITH US ON THIS ONE. >> OUR PLEASURE. AT THIS TIME IF NO ONE EMS WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ENTERTAIN ANY MOTION. 
          >> I MOVE WE ADOPT THIS ITEM. >> SECOND. >> OKAY, A MOTION AND A SECOND 
          TO ADOPT ITEM C 2, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? >> SEEING NONE, ALL KNOWS FAVOR 
          SAY AYE. >> AYE. >> THOSE OPPOSE SAME SIGN.

WHAT I SOME DAY, WHAT I DIDN'T REALIZE IS I WAS GOING GET TO WORK WITH SOME OF THE MOST TREMENDOUS, DEDICATED, SELFLESS PEOPLE IN THE CITY OF VICTORIA INCLUDING YOURSELVES. I'M SO GRATEFUL TO BE UP HERE TONIGHT I HAVE TO SAY AND SORRY IF I GET A LITTLE CHOKED UP HERE, BUT THANK YOU TO THOMAS WHO HAS BEEN MY MENTOR, AND I CAN SAY FOR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE THE ANIMAL ORDINANCE IS NOT HIS GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT, BUT MORE THAN THAT, HE HAS BEEN MY GREAT FRIEND AND MY PERSON THAT I CAN, YOU KNOW -- HE'S MY PERSON I TALK TO, I THINK I SPENDS MORE TIME WITH HIM THAN MY ACTUAL HUSBAND I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING HE'S TAUGHT ME AND SO EXCITED TO WORK WITH ALL OF YOU. 
          I CANNOT WAIT TO GET STARTED. AND SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.

          >> ALL RIGHT, E 2. >> E 2 IS A RESOLUTION DENYING AEP TEXAS, INC.  APPLICATION TO 
          AMEND DISTRIBUTION COST RECOVERY FACTORS. >> HAVEIO HEARD FROM THE ATTORNEYS ENOUGH TONIGHT, YET? CONGRATULATIONS ALLISON AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS. 
          THE DISTRIBUTION COST RECOVERY FACTOR IS A PART OF THE FEE THAT AEP CHARGES TO CUSTOMERS ON ELECTRIC BILLS THEY APPLY ON A REGULAR BASIS TO HAVE THAT COST FACTOR ADJUSTED SO THAT THEY CAN COVER THE COSTS OF RUNNING THE DISTRIBUTION LINES, THE BIG LINES THROUGH TOWN. 
          HERE IN THE CITY OF VICTORIA THE CITIRY TAKENS ORIGINAL JURISDICTION IN ORDER TO REGULATE THE PRICES CUSTOMERS PAY FOR ELECTRICITY. WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO REVIEW AND APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE THIS DISTRIBUTION COST RECOVERY FACTOR AMENDMENT. 
          MY RECOMMENDATION IS THAT CITY COUNCIL DENY THIS INITIALLY, IN ORDER TO ALLOW TIME FOR THE CITY TO REVIEW IN MORE DETAIL, THE BASIS FOR THE REQUEST FOR THIS ADJUSTMENT. 
          THIS IS A STANDARD PROCESS. WE'VE DONE THIS IN THE PAST BEFORE. 
          WE WILL HIRE OUTSIDE COUNCIL LISTED THERE IN THE RESOLUTION. THAT OUTSIDE COUNCIL FIRM WILL REPRESENT NOT ONLY THE CITY OF VICTORIA BUT MOST OF THE CITIES IN THIS REGION AND THEY WILL REVIEW THE ENTIRE DISTRIBUTION COST RECOVERY FACTOR APPLICATION AND THEN WORK WITH AEP TO REACH TYPICALLY A SETTLEMENT THAT WILL REDUCE THE AMOUNT THAT CUSTOMERS WILL HAVE TOY PAY ON THEIR 
          [00:35:04]
ELECTRICAL BILL. I'LL REPORT BACK TO YOU WHEN WE HEAR BACK OF THIS. 
          >> IS THE AMOUNT ON THE RESOLUTION THE AMOUNT THAT WE'VE BEEN DISTRIBUTE BETWEEN ALL THE 
          CITIES IS THAT WHAT THEY'RE SAYING? >> THAT'S CORRECT. 
          >> THE THAT IS DIVIDED UP AMONG ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL CONSUMERS AND ESTIMATED THAT RES DEPARTMENTIAL CONSUMERS IN VICTORIA WOULD PAY AN ADDITIONAL $1.28 ON THEIR BILL AS A RESULT 
          OF THIS. >> IS THIS AN ALL OR NOTHING PROPOSITION IF THEY'RE REPRESENTING A NUMBER OF CITIES, COULD THIS BE APPROPRIATE IN ONE MUNICIPALITY OR ONE CITY BUT NOT APPROPRIATE IN ANOTHER? OR IF IT IS ACROSS THE BOARD IT APPLIES TO EVERYONE, SAME 
          AMOUNT? >> YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT. EACH CITY WITHIN TEXAS HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE ORGANIZATION JURISDICTION OVER UTILITY RATES WITHIN THEIR JURISDICTION SOME CITIES HAVE GIVEN THAT UP, ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE RETAINED THE ABOUT TO REGULATE THIS. 
          LIKEWISE, IN WHAT THEY CALL THE ENVIREONS OUTSIDE OF CITY LIMITS IN THE COUNTY, OF THE STATE, THERE IS NO ONE WHO HAS JURISDICTION OVER IT. AND SO IN BOTH THOSE CITIES THAT HAVE GIVEN UP ORIGINAL JURISDICTION AND IN THE ENVIREONS THIS CASE WOULD GO DIRECTLY TO THE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION WHO WOULD REVIEW IT AND TYPICALLY APPROVE IT UNLESS 
          THERE IS AN OBJECTION FROM SOMEBODY. >>> GOT IT. 
          THANK YOU. >> ANYBODY HAVE A MOTION? >> I DO I MOVE THAT WE.

          A OF $170,000. >>> I'M GOING TO PRESENT BRIAN JANSON WITH FREESE AND NICHOLS THIS IS PART OF THE BEGINNING PHASE OF DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN. IT WAS IN THERE TO LOOK AT THAT DEE LEON EXPANSION PROJECT. AND WE MOVED FORWARD WITH THAT AND THIS IS GETTING THE PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING DONE SO THAT WE CAN LOOK A THE OPTIONS GET A 30% DESIGN SUBMITTAL AND BE ABLE TO COME BACK AND SHOW IT TO YOU TO REVIEW MAYBE IN A WORK SESSION TO LOOK AT THE OPTION THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BRING. I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE IT TO BRIAN TO GO AHEAD AND GO THROUGH 
          HIS PRESENTATION. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, BRIAN JANSON WITH FREESE AND NICHOLS I'M HAPPY TO BE HERE TONIGHT. OKAY, JUST TO GIVE EVERYBODY A LITTLE BIT OF OBACKGROUND, AS KEN MENTIONED THIS PROJECT WAS IDENTIFIED AS A CATALYST PROJECT 
          [00:40:05]
IN THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN ADOPTED IN OCTOBER OF 2021. WHAT IT DID WAS IDENTIFIED SZE LEON LOSSA AS A BASICALLY A SYNERGY POINT AND CREATE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN AND AROUND THE AREA. THERE WERE TWO PROJECTS IDENTIFY, ONE WAS THE EXPANSION OF THE PLAZA, BUT ONE WAS ALSO TO INSTALL A PUBLIC REST ROOM DOWNTOWN. 
          THE PLAN RECOMMENDED A 1-3 YEAR INITIATION TIME FRAME WHICH WE'RE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF. 
          AND THIS PARTICULAR PROPOSAL IS FOR LIKE KEN SAID TO DO PRELIMINARY DESIGN AND CONFIRM A PROGRAM AND TO GET A PRETTY GOOD HANDLE ON WHAT THE ACTUAL COST TO CONSTRUCT WOULD BE FOR THIS PROJECT. AS I'M SURE ALL OF YOU ARE AWARE, THERE ARE, YOU KNOW, THIS AREA IS RIPE FOR A LITTLE BIT OF TLC, JUST SORT OF MOVING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT IN THE TOP LEFT THERE ARE SOME TRAFFIC SIGNAL CABINETS WHICH WOULD NEED TO BE RELOCATED. 
          THIS IS SORT OF THE AXIS POINT OF THE PLAZA WITH THE BUILDING ACROSS FOREST STREET. 
          WE DO HAVE SOME STORM DRAINAGE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WILL NEED TO BE MODIFIED. 
          THE INTENT IS TO BRING THE PLAZA SPACE UP TO THE EXISTING CURB ELEVATION. 
          WE WOULD HAVE TO TREAT THE DRAINAGE DIFFERENTLY TO GET THE AREA TO DRAIN OFF APPROPRIATELY. 
          WE'LL HAVE ENGINEERING REGULATED TO STORM DRAINAGE MOVING ONTO TO THE TOP RIGHT THIS IS THE NORTH TIED OF FOURTH STREET. AS YOU CAN TELL WE DO HAVE A DISSIMILAR PAVING SURFACE, WHICH WOULD WE WANT TO UPDATE TO REALLY PROVIDE THIS AS A COHESIVE PROJECT AS WELL AS TRY TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE PERIOD SPECIFIC LIGHTING FIXTURE LIKE WE HAVE ON THE DALE SZE LEON PLAZA SIDE, THOSE FIXTURES ARE PROBABLY FROM THE EARLY 1900S ON THE PLAZA SIDE AND WE WOULDN'T WANT TO TRY TO MATCH THAT JUST TO PROVIDE A MORE COHESIVE OVERALL PROJECT. 
          BOTTOM LEFT, YOU CAN SEE WE'VE GOT A VERY IM34E7BS, EXISTING -- IMMENSE URBAN TREE CANOPY SCENARIO. THAT TREE YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS BEHIND THE SIX FLAGS MONUMENT. 
          SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER WE DO TREE TREE PRESERVATION IS TOP OF OUR MINDS THOSE ARE ASSETS THAT ARE IRREPLACEABLE. NEXT, WE HAVE A NEED TO UPGRADE AND MODERNIZE THE ELECTRICAL FACILITIES WITHIN THE SITE. I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT SOME NEW FACILITIES THAT WILL BE CONSTRUCTED ON THIS SIDE DEGETTING ALL OF THIS ELECTRICAL WORK INSIDE AN APPROPRIATE ELECTRICAL ROOM WILL BE PART OF THIS PROJECT AND THEN ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT YOU CAN SEE THAT WE DO HAVE A MISMATCH OF SIDE FURNISHINGS, SEVERAL DIFFERENT STIPES OF RECEPTACLES OF DIFFERENT VICINITIAGES IN THE SITE. 
          I'M SURE ALL OF YOU HAVE SEEN THIS EXHIBIT, THIS WAS PRODUCED DURING THE MASTER PLANNING PHASE. FOR THE PROPOSING OF THIS CONTRACT, PHASE ONE WOULD BE EVERYTHING SORT OF GEOGRAPHICALLY LOCATED WITHIN THE WIDE WRECK TANGING AND PHASE 2 WHICH WOULD BE A FUTURE PHASE WOULD BE LOCATED WITHIN THE BLUE RECTANGLE. 
          BASICALLY THE NORTH RIGHT OF WAY LINE OF FOREST AS OF RIGHT NOW THE MAJOR PROGRAM ELEMENTS THAT WE'RE CONSIDERING ARE A REST ROOM FACILITY WHICH WOULD BE MANICALLY 1,000 SQUARE FEET, FOUR FIXTURES EACH FOR MENS AND WOMENS AS WELL AS ABOUT 150 SQUARE FOOT STORAGE ROOM OR ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL ROOM FOR THE OTHER ANYTHINGS THAT WE'RE PLANNING ON SITE. 
          WE ARE CONSIDERING AN OPEN AIR PERFORMANCE PAVILION. >>> CAN I STOP YOU FOR A SECOND ON THAT REST ROOM, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE ANTICIPATING USING WHEN EVENTS ARE GOING ON THERE AND NOT HAVING IT AVAILABLE 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK? 
          >> THAT IS AN OPERATIONAL DISCUSSION, NOT A DESIGN. >> OKAY, OKAY. 
          >> ISSUE, BUT, YEAH, THAT IS DEFINITELY A GOOD THING FOR US ON THE OPERATIONAL SIDE. 
          >> RIGHT. >>> TO FIGURE OUT. >> SURE. 
          >> AND THEN SO THE PERFORMANCE PAVILION WOULD BE SOMETHING WHERE YOU COULD HOST ANY NUMBER 
          [00:45:06]
OF ACTIVITIES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WHETHER DURING A CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS, SMALL PERFORMANCES IF YOU HAVE LUNCH ON THE SQUARE KIND OF THING, IT WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE FOR A PAND TO SET UP. 
          I WOULD MENTION THAT BOTH OF THESE BUILDINGS ARE GOING TO BE BASICALLY HISTORICALLY APPROPRIATE AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS WE HAVE A ARCHITECT ON BOARD WHO WILL BE ASSISTING IN DESIGN, BUT THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT IS PURCHASE OUT OF A CATLOGUE THIS WILL BE DESIGNED BY A ARCHITECT WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THIS NEEDS TO FIT WITHIN THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF THE BUILDING REQUEST BRIAN, SCEURNLINGS I DON'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT, IS THE PAVILION AND THE WATER FEATURE, ARE THEY GOING BE IN FRONT OF THE BANK OR ON THE OTHER SIDE? 
          >> IF YOU GO BACK TO TORE PICTURE. >> LET ME JUST MOVEER IF WARD HERE REAL QUICK. SO THIS PARTICULAR IMAGE THAT WAS IN THE MASTER PLAN, THIS WAS A CONCEPTUALAGE ON BASICALLY HIGH LEVEL PROGRAMATIC IDEAS AND AS YOU CAN SEE HERE WE HAVE A PAVILION AND WATER FEATURE WHAT THIS BACKLY CONTRACT IS FOR IS TO BASICALLY FIGURE OUT HOW BEST ALL THE SITED A JAYSENCESIS WORK. THAT WILL EVOLVE OUT OF THIS DESIGN PROJECT. WHERE IS THE BEST LOCATION FOR FOOD LOCATION, BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, WE HAVEN'T REALLY FIGURED IT OUT YET, THAT IS SORT OF WHAT THIS PROCESS IS INTENDED TO FLESH OUT. LIKE YOU HAD MENTIONED WE ARE CONSIDERING AN INGROUNDWATER FEATURE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE TIMER CONTROLLED IT WOULD BE A SYSTEM THAT WOULD DRAIN INTO THE STORM SEWER. IT WOULD BE A -- WE CAN DESIGN IT ANY NUMBER OF WAYS, BUT SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS IS WHAT WE'RE INTENDING. WE'RE NOT INTENDING ANY KIND OF OVERHEAD FLASH BUCKETS OR ANYTHING LIKE, THAT SOMETHING VERY SUBTLE THAT WOULD CAUSE A LITTLE BIT OF AMBIENT NOISE AND SOMETHING THAT THE KIDDOS COULD RUN AROUND IN IF THEY SO CHOOSE. 
          THE CLOSURE OF WEST FOREST STREET IS KEY TO MAKING THIS PLAZA EXPANSION THAT 1 BETWEEN BRIDGE AND MAIN. THE INTENT TO HAVE THAT SEMIPERMANENTLY CLOSED WE WOULD HAVE BALLARD ON EITHER END TO ALLOW FOOD TRUCKS TO COME IN BUT IF GENERAL PUBLIC WOULD BE AND STORM SEWER MODIFICATIONS AND AUDIO VISUAL AND SECURITY UPGRADES, NEW CAMERAS, AMBIENT SOUNDS THROUGHOUT SITE THAT COULD FACILITATE YOUR, YOU KNOW, HOLIDAY I VENTS, AND THINGS LIKE 
          THAT AND THEN UPDATED SILENT FURNISHINGS AND AMENITIES. >> CAN I MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT THE CLOSURE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I'VE BEEN VERY CONCERNED ABOUT. 
          I KNOW IT IS IN THE PLAN. I KNOW I VOTED FOR THE PLAN. BUT I'VE CONTINUED TO EXPRESS CONCERN FOR THE TIMES THAT THE DOWNTOWN FUNCTIONS AS A BUSINESS FUNCTION DURING THE DAY. 
          AND I WOULD LIKE US TO BE VERY, VERY INTENTIONAL ABOUT CLOSING THAT STREET, NOT SO MUCH FOR TRANSPORTATION AS THERE ARE A LOT OF PARKING SPACES THAT DON'T GET USED ALL THE TIME BUT WHEN THEY ARE NEEDED, YESTERDAY WAS AN EXAMPLE, EVERY ONE OF THEM WAS FULL. 
          >> YES, MA'AM. THAT IS UNDERSTOOD. WE I THINK WHEN THEY DID THE MASTER PLAN THEY DID A HIGH LEVEL LOOK AT THE PARKING IN DOWNTOWN AND VICTORIA IS SIMILAR TO OTHER DOWNTOWNS IF YOU TAKE THE DOWNTOWNS AS A WHOLE, THE PARKING SITUATION IS ADEQUATE, THAT IS NOT TO SAY YOU'RE GOING BE ABLE TO FIND A SPOT EXACTLY IN FRONT OF WHERE YOU WANT TO GO, BUT THE PURPOSE OF A PROJECT LIKE THIS IS TO MAKE THAT USER EXPERIENCE. 
          IF YOU HAVE TO PARK ONE BLOCK AWAY AND YOU PROCEED THROUGH A NICE DYNAMIC PLAZA LIKE THIS, IT MAYBE DOESN'T MAKE YOU SAY, OH, GOSH I WISH I WOULD HAVE FOUND A SPOT A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO WHERE I'M CONDUCTING MY BUSINESS. BUT WE'RE AWARE THERE ARE 42 SPACES THAT WOULD BE ELIMINATED OUT OF THE COUNT FOR DOWNTOWN BY CONDUCTING THIS PROJECT. 
          OKAY, SO THE NEXT STEP, AS PART OF THIS CONTRACT, WHAT WE WILL BE DOING FIRST IS WE WILL BE 
          [00:50:02]
DOING A FULL SURVEY OF NOT ONLY IF PLAZA BUT ALSO THE FOUR RIGHTS OF WAY ON ALL FOUR SIDES. 
          AND WE WILL TAKE IN THE PIECE THAT IS IN FRONT OF THE OWE CONNOR BUILDING IN PREPARATION FOR ANY PHASE 2 WORK THAT COMES DOWN, AT LEAST WE'LL HAVE THE SURVEY COMPLETED AND IT WILL BE ALL TIED TOGETHER. WE WILL DO A GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION. 
          AND LIKE I MENTIONED THIS FIRST STAGE WILL BE A SITE PLAN CONFIRMATION WHERE WE WILL GO AND WE'LL HAVE SOME DISCUSSIONS THE CITY LEADERSHIP AND WE'LL COME UP WITH SOME OPTIONS AND WE'LL WORK TOGETHER TO COME UP WHERE WITH A PREFERRED ATIVE AND THAT WILL BE THE BASIS OF THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN, WHICH IS ABOUT A 30% LEVEL OF FINISH. AND THOSE KEY AREAS THAT WE WILL PROVIDE PRELIMINARY DESIGN DRAWINGS WHICH WILL BE THE MAJOR COST DRIVERS WILL BE ARCHITECTURE, SITE DESIGN, OPENEDWAY, DRAINAGE, ELECT & WATER FEATURE. 
          AT THE ENDS OF THAT POINT WE'LL HAVE AN OPINION OF PROBABLE COSTS. 
          AND ONCE THAT OCCURS, WE WILL COME BACK TO COUNCIL WITH A DESIGN AND A COST AND TALK ABOUT 
          THE NEXT STEP FROM THERE. >> JUST TO ADD ONTO THAT, WE'RE TAKING A VERY DELIBERATE APPROACH TO THIS IN TERMS OF TAKING IT ONE STEP AT A TIME FOR THE SAME REASON THERE IS QUESTION MARKS ABOUT THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION AND IMPACT, RATHER THAN JUST GOING INTO THIS AUTOMATICALLY, AWARDING A CONTRACT FOR THE WHOLE THING, YOU KNOW, WE'RE VERY INTENTIONALLY TAKE ONE PIECE AT A TIME. AND SO THAT IS WHY THIS IS ONLY TO GET US TO 30%. THAT WILL GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO FINE-TUNE COSTS CONTINUE ADDRESSING CONCERNS. OUR HOPE IS THAT IT CONTINUES TO GET PEOPLE EXCITED AND WE CONTINUE TO SNOWBALL THAT THAT IS IS OUR HOPE. BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE'RE COGNITIVE OF THE CONCERNS AND EVERYTHING ELSE. THAT IS WHY ONE ONE STEP AT A 
          TIME WITH IT. >> DISTURB THE TIME WE CLOSE THE STREET FOR CHRISTMAS, DO WE HAVE A LOT OF OCOMPLAINT? WAS IT SOMETHING ACCEPTABLE BY THE CITIZENS WHERE I WASN'T A 
          PROBLEM? >> I'LL HAVE DANIELLE ANSWER THAT. 
          >> I HAVE NOT FIELDED ANY COMPLAINTS THEY HAVEN'T MADE IT TO ME AT LEAST FROM THE CITIZEN INJURIES ON THE PUBLIC DURING THE TIME WE HAD THE TREE UPAPPROXIMATELY HOW LONG DID WE 
          CLOSE THE STREET? >> CLOSE TO TWO MONTH. >> IF WE DIDN'T HAVE TOO MANY PROBLEMS MAYBE THE CITIZENS ARE READY FOR A CHANGE AND THEY'LL ACCEPT IT, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE FIRST STARTED TALKING ABOUT IT I KNOW EVERYBODY WAS LIKE, PARKING SPACE, PARKING SPACE BLAST TEMPORARY THE PANDEMIC WAS NOTHING THE WAY. BUT THE FIRST YEAR WE HAD THE TREE AND CLOSED TREAT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN DECEMBER IN 20 THE PANDEMIC WAS AROUND LAST YEAR SO WE'RE COG ANY SANITY AND MINDFUL ALTHOUGH THIS HAS HAPPENED, YOU KNOW, IT HAPPENED, YOU KNOW, DURING A PANDEMIC PERIOD WHERE PROCEEDINGS AT THE COURT, YOU KNOW, WERE NOT IN FULL EFFECT. 
          IS AND SO WE'RE MINDFUL OF THAT, IS MY PANDEMICT AND SOMETHING THAT IS JUST A FACT, RIGHT. 
          WHILE THAT IS A GOOD POINT, WE CAN'T JUST DISMISS THE FACT THAT WE WERE IN A PANDEMIC. 
          >> OH, OKAY. >> WHO OWNS THE PROPERTY? >> WHO OWN? 
          I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A SPECIFIC NAME. >>> IT IS KPG COMMERCIAL. 
          >> YES. J SO ARE WE GOING TO WORK WITH SO THIS ITEM IS LISTED ON THE AGENDA, VERY SPECIFIC FOR PHASE 1 BECAUSE WE ARE, I GUESS, QUALIFYING AS A PHASE 1, ACTUALLY DOESN'T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ANY OF THE ACCOUNT ANY OF THE PRIVATE PROPERTY ON THAT PART. SO THE GEOGRAPHICAL BOUNDARY OF EXPAX OF THE PLAZA AND PART OF THIS SCOPE ENDS AT THE SIDEWALK ON THE NORTH SIDE. SO THIS DOES NOT START GETTING THE PRIVATE PROPERTY PIECE. NOW OBVIOUSLY THERE THEY WHETHER BE INVOLVED. 
          THEY'RE A STAKEHOLDER, WE'RE MINDFUL OF THAT. BUT AT THIS POINT, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT DESIGNING DOESN'T ACTUALLY GET INTO PRIVATE PROPERTY. 
          [00:55:03]
          >> WHO IS THE WATER FEATURE THE DESIGN? >> THE WATER FEETTURE IS ON THE 
          STREET -- FEATURE IS ON THE STREET. >>> RIGHT IN THE MIDSEATTLE. 
          >> THEY'RE ACTUALLY TWO WATER FEATURE, ONE IS THE STREAMS OF WATER COMING OUT OF THE PAVEMENT, IF YOU WILL, AND THE OTHER IS A FOUND MAIN THE PHASE 2 AREA. 
          WE INTENTIONALLY, THAT IS WHY WE HAVE A PHASE 1 AND PHASE 2. WE RECOGNIZE THE PRIVATE 
          PROPERTY WILL TAKE MORE TIME AND CONSIDERATION. >> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HASN'T COME IS UP OUR DISCUSSION THAT WE HAD AT OUR WORKSHOP THAT THIS IS SOMETHING WE WANT TO LEAD UP DOING LEADING UP TO OUR BICENTENNIAL IN 2024. WORKING IN WITH A PRIVATE PROPERTY WILL REALISTICALLY TAKE LONGER MORE REASON TO FOCUS ON THE REAL ESTATE WE ALREADY HAVE CONTROL OVER, IF YOU WILL, OR JURISDICTION AND JUST FOCUS ON THAT AS FIRST PIECE. 
          >> I'D LIKE TO SAY, I MEAN, THIS IS AN EXCITING PICTURE AND I'M AS EXCITED AS ANYBODY. 
          I HAVE THAT LINGERING CONCERN OF, THIS IS GREAT, AND I THINK WE COULD DO A LOT OF GOOD WITH 
          EXPAX. -- EXPANSION. >> IF THERE IS NO FURTHER 
          QUESTIONS, WE HAVE A MOTION. >> AND MOTION, SECOND. >> MOTION AND SECOND TO APPROVE 
          E 4, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE. >> I JUST LOVE THE IDEA OF THIS. 
          WE TALK ABOUT TRANSFORMATIONAL PROJECTS AND THIS IS TRANSFORMATIONAL FOR DOWNTOWN. 
          >> ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE, THOSE OPPOSE SAME SIGN, MOTION CARRIES, THANK YOU BRIAN.

          >> I THINK IS ENGINEER AND LAWYERS DAY TODAY. WE'RE HERE TO PRESENT THE SCADA EVALUATION THAT WE DID. THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED. THE COMPANY WAS GARVER, NOT INDUSTRIES BUT GARVER ENGINEERING THEY PERFORMED THE STUDY AND EVALUATION AND ARE GOING TO PRESENT THAT. IN ADDITION WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO IS MOVE FORWARD WITH THE ENGINEERING OF THE SCADA SYSTEM OF THE WASTEWATER AND WATER PLANT AND PRESENT WHAT THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS ARE FOR GETTING THAT MOVING. THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT TO GET US PASSED, AS WE'VE DISCUSSED, INTO THE FOREFRONT. OUR WATER PLANT IS 20 YEARS OLD. 
          THE SCADA IS ALSO 20 YEARS OLD. AND GETTING THAT DATA ACQUISITION TO WHERE WE CAN SEE IT, YOU KNOW, RIGHT UP FRONT DURING AN EMERGENCY OR FREEZE. THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST STEPS. 
          AND I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE GREG WITH GARVER ENGINEERING AND HIS PARTNER BRIAN CHUNG. 
          >> THANK YOU KEN AND GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE. I AM GREG SBODA AND SERVE AS PROJECT MANAGER FOR GARVER. 
          AND AS KEN ELUDED TO I HAVE BRIAN CHUNG WITH ME AS WELL. BRIAN IS AN SCADA LEAD FOR GARVER. SO AS KEN ELUDED TO, WE HAVE BEEN CONDUCTING WORK WITH THE CITY IN THAT REGARD TO YOUR EXISTING WATER AND WASTEWATER SCADA SYSTEMS. AND AS PART OF THAT WORK WE DID AN EVALUATION OF YOUR EXISTING SYSTEMS. THE OBJECTIVES OF THE EVALUATION THAT WE HAVE COMPLETED WAS TO EVALUATE YOUR EXISTING WATER AND WASTEWATER SCADA SYSTEMS, DEVELOP RECOMMENDATIONS AND A PATH FORWARD FOR YOUR SCADA SYSTEM ON YOUR WATER AND AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS. AND THEN DEVELOP A REPORT TO SUMMARIZE THOSE ASSESSMENTS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF A PATH FORWARD. 
          SO THE NEXT FEW SLIDES WILL DISCUSS KIND OF THE FINDINGS OF OUR EVALUATION AND THEN WE WILL GET INTO THE NEXT STEPS. SO THIS GRAPHIC HERE BASICALLY IDENTIFIES YOUR EXISTING WATER 
          [01:00:01]
SYSTEM AS WELL AS YOUR WASTEWATER SYSTEM. THE GRAPHIC ON THE LEFT IS YOUR WATER SYSTEM IT INCLUDES YOUR TOWER AND ELEVATED STORAGE TANKS AS WELL AS YOUR WELLS AND PRIMARY LOCATIONS AS FAR AS FACILITIES AS WELL AS SCADA, THE SURFACE WATER TREATMENT PLANT AS WELL AS PLANT NUMBER 3. ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE IS THE WASTEWATER SYSTEM. 
          AND THIS AS WELL IDENTIFIES YOUR WASTEWATER COMPONENTS WHICH ARE YOUR LIFT STATIONS AND YOUR PRIMARY LOCATIONS OF YOUR ODOM WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY ASK AND YOUR REGIONAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY. SO AS PART OF OUR ASSESSMENTS IN THAT REGARD TO THE HARDWARE ASSESSMENT THIS IS ADDRESSING POCS WHICH IS PROMMABLE LODGAL CONTROLLERS AS WELL AS UPS SWITCHES, OUR DETERMINATION WAS THAT SOME OF THESE WERE NOT STANDARD USED EQUIPMENT THEY'RE OBABSOLUTE AND SOME HARDWARE IS NOT FUNCTIONING IN YOUR CURRENT WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS. IN REGARDS TO THE SECURITY ASSESSMENT, WE FOUND THE LACK OF ANTIVIRUS SYSTEM THAT WAS NOT IN PLACE, WHICH ALSO ALLOWED FOR BEING SUSCEPTIBLE TO CYBER-ATTACKS IN REGARDS TO YOUR OUTDATED SOFTWARE. THE LACK OF PROGRAM ACCESS AND USER RESTRICTIONS AND THEN THE LACK OF LIST STORIAN IN ORDER FOR YOU TO SAVE THAT DATA FOR TRENDING PURPOSES IN THE FUTURE. 
          AND THEN THIS GRAPHIC HERE IS SHOWING YOUR OVERALL SCADA SYSTEM, A COMBINATION OF WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS. CURTLY YOUR WASTEWATER SCADA SYSTEM IS CONNECTED TO YOUR WATER SYSTEM. THIS ALL HAPPENS AT WHAT IS CALLED YOUR PLANT NUMBER 3 IN REGARDS TO YOUR ON YOUR WATER SYSTEM SIDE AND I'LL COVER THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE AND A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL HERE IN A FEW MINUTES. SO THAT IS THE FINDINGS OF OUR EXISTING ASSESSMENT. AND THEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT WHAT THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS ARE, IN ORDER TO ADDRESS SOME OF THESE FINDINGS THAT WE FOUND. SONARDS TO PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SYSTEMWIDE SCADA ARCHITECTURE WE'LL IMPROVE SCADA PERFOMANCE, INCLUDES NEW SERVERS AS WELL AS NEW DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS WHICH IS A NEW SCADA HMI SOFTWARE, A NEW SEPARATION BETWEEN THAT WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEM THAT I JUST ELUDED TO AS WELL AS THE ABILITY TO CONNECT YOUR PLANT 3 WHICH IS YOUR WATER ON YOUR WATERSIDE WITH THE SURFACE WATER TREATMENT PLANT ON THE HMI SIDE, AS WELL AS BEING ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THE SAME THING ON THE WASTEWATER SIDE AND REGIONAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY AND CONNECTING THOSE ON THE HMI. 
          ALSO, WHAT IS INCLUDED IS MOBILITY. THIS IS TO PROVIDE VIEW ACCESS FROM MOBILE DEVICES INCLUDING PHONES, PORTABLE PCS AND SO FORTH TO PROVIDE VIEWER ACCESS AND THAT WAY OTHERS CAN WITHIN WHO ARE AUTHORIZED ARE ABLE TO VIEW WHAT IS GOING ON THIS YOUR WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS. WE ARE ALSO RECOMMENDING NEW NETWORK DEVICES. 
          THESE DEVICES WOULD BE LOCATED AT A COUPLE OF YOUR PRIMARY SCADA LOCATIONS THIS IS AT THE SURFACE WATER TREATMENT PLANT AS WELL AS AT THE OWEDDUM WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY. 
          THIS INCLUDES A NEW RACK-MOUNTED SERVER COMPUTERS, THAT WOULD HOUSE YOUR SCADA SOFTWARE AND INCLUDES REDUNDAN ETHERNET SWITCHES AND INCLUDES REDUNDANT WRACK MOUNTED UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLIES KNOWN AS UPSES THERE LACK OH IN THE VEN YOU LACK OF POWER YOU CAN CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN COMMUNICATION ABILITY THROUGH YOUR SCADA SYSTEM. 
          NARDS TO NEW SOFTWARE, THE NEW SOFTWARE WILL DRIVE PROCESS IMPROVEMENTS TO INCREASE ACCESSIBILITY AND SHORTENED RESPONSE TIME THIS ACCESSIBILITY WENT AGAIN, ALLOWS FOR AUTHORIZED USERS THE ABILITY TO VIEW AT THE HMI LEVEL FROM ALL OF YOUR FACILITIES AS FAR AS YOUR PRIMARY LOCATION, WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE WATER AND WASTEWATER SIDE BOTH AT THE SURFACE WATER PLANT, PLANT 3, AT THE ODOM WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY AND REGIONAL WASTEWATER 
          [01:05:01]
TREATMENT FACILITY. AND AGAIN, IT NOTES HERE IN THAT REGARD TO THE MOBILITY, AND HAVING THE CAPABILITY OF BEING ABLE TO VIEW WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THAT REGARD TO SCADA ON YOUR SCADA SYSTEM. THIS NEW SOFTWARE WILL INCREASE PROCESS EFFICIENCY AND IMPROVE ANALYSIS AND DISPLAY OF HISTORIAN DATA. SO WE ARE WORKING WITH CITY STAFF WHICH ARE CONSIDERING TWO SOFTWARE PACKAGES AS PART OF THE PROJECT AS WE MOVE FORWARD THAT BEING HMI AND OTHER FACTORY TAUGHT VIEW SITE AND DEPENDING ON WHAT IS THE BEST FIT FOR THE CITY, THAT WOULD BE THE SYSTEM THAT WE WOULD MOVE FORWARD WITH IN AFTERWARDS TO -- IN REGARDS 
          TO THE SOFTWARE BADGE FOR THE NEW SCAKA SYSTEM -- SCADA SYSTEM >>  EWITH WOULD INCORPORATE A HISTORIAN TO CAPTURE THAT DATA THAT IS GOING NONYOUR WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEM, ALLOWS YOU TO SEE BACK WHAT IS HAPPENING, WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST AND POTENTIALLY ALLOW YOU TO PROJECT WHAT MAY BE HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE AS FAR AS FOR OPERATIONS OF YOUR SYSTEMS. 
          >> CAN I INTERRUPT FOR A MINUTE? >> YES. >> HOW FAR BACK IS THE DATA 
          GOING TO BE? >> THE QUESTION YOU'RE ASKING HOW FAR BACK AS IN. 
          >> THE HISTORIC THAT WE'RE GOING TO CAPTURE AND GOING HAVE TO LOOK AT? 
          >> SO RIGHT NOW, THE DATA WE'RE GOING PUT IN AT LEAST 10 TO 15 YEARS, BUT WE CAN ALWAYS UPGRADE 
          MORE AS WE NEED TO. >>> AS LONG AS WE HAVE A HURRICANE AND A FREEZE IN THERE. 
          >> UNDERSTAND. >> THANK YOU. >> THAT IS SELECTABLE AS FAR AS 
          WHAT IS DESIRED BY THE CITY. >> YES, SIR. >> SO ALSO WHAT IS RECOMMENDED AS PART OF THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS IS IN REGARDS TO A PROCESS CONTROL NETWORKS. 
          THIS INCLUDES POC UPGRADE, UPGRADES OR REPLACEMENT OF ORTS, THOSE ARE SMALLER SCREENS YOU WOULD HAVE AT EACH LOCATION THAT GIVES YOU THE ABILITY TO SEE AT EACH OF THOSE LOCATIONS WHETHER A LIFT STATION, A TOWER, A WELL TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON RIGHT THERE AT THAT PARTICULAR LOCATION AS WELL AS REPLACEMENT OF YOUR NETWORK SWITCHES. 
          >> CAN YOU BACK UP ONE SLIDE. I WANT TO CLARIFY EXACTLY WHAT MS. SOLIZ WAS ASKING. 
          WITH THIS HISTORIAN SITE ADDITION, DO WE HAVE EXISTING 10 TO FIN YEARS WORTH OF DATA WE CAN LOAD INTO IT? OR IS IT FROM ONCE IT IS INITIATED, THEN IT WILL RETAIN FOR TEN OR FIN YEARS? ONCE IT IS INITIATED WILL THEN RETAIN INTO THE FUTURE CORRECT. 
          NOW YOU DO HAVE EXISTING DATA OR SOME EXISTING DATA THAT CAN BE CARRIED OVER. 
          I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE EXTENT OF YOUR EXISTING DATA IS. >> WE DO HAVE CURRENTLY THE HISTORIC PROGRAM AT WATER AND WASTEWATER. MORE ROBUST AT THE WATER PLANT. 
          BUT WE DO HAVE IT. IS A MATTER OF PULLING SOME OF THAT INFORMATION IN. 
          AND I'M SURE IT WOULD COVER THE FREEZE AND HURRICANE HARVEY NOW, I'LL GO BACK AND MAKE A CAVEAT, REMEMBER, A LOT OF THAT DATA WE WERE GETTING IN WAS NOT RELIABLE DATA ONE OTHER POINT THAT I THINK THAT IS REALLY NEAT ABOUT THAT IS THE ONTO ASPECT IS RIGHT NOW EOC IS DOWN THERE IN ROOM, THEY'RE HAVING TO RELY ON INFORMATION THAT WE'RE FEEDING THIS MOBILITY PORTION CAN BRING THAT TO THE EOC, SO THERE IS A HARD WAY TO LOOK AT IT WHILE SERVE DOWN THERE REACTING AND 
          TRYING TO MAKE GOOD JUDGMENTAL DECISIONS. >> THANK YOU. 
          >> I HAVE A QUESTION. YOU TALKED ABOUT THE SYSTEM HAS A UNIVERSAL POWER. 
          BUT WHAT ABOUT ITS ACQUIRING DATA FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES. AND ARE THEY BATTERY BACKED UP. 
          >> EACH SHOULD HAVE A UPS CONTROL PANEL AND THAT SHOULD LAST AN HOUR TO TWO HOURS FOR THEM TO LOCK INTO T DATA, NOT LOSE THE DATA, BUT IT IS NOT MEANT FOR OPERATION FOR MORE 
          THAN TWO HOURS. THE COST IS GOING BE RECOMMEND. >> I THINK THE ON THING IS LOSING MAYBE LIFT STATIONS BECAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE WE'VE GOT GENERATORS ON THE MAJOR 
          [01:10:02]
          COMPONENT. >> AND IF ALL YOUR LIFT STATIONS ARE DOWN. 
          >>> BUT OUR LIST STATIONS DON'T HAVE GENERATED POWER ALREADY. WE HAVE TO GO OUT THERE AND 
          MANUALLY HOOK UP POWER TO THEM. >>> WE DO, BUT IF SOME OF THEM HAD BACKUPS, YOU COULD KNOW IF YOU NEEDED TO SEND OUT A GENERATOR TO ACTUALLY GET THAT LIFT STATION GOING THE ONLY REASON I'M ASKING IS BECAUSE IF ALL THE POWER IS DOWN, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE SCADA 
          SYSTEM IS DOWN THERE IS NO DATA TO COLLECT ANYWAY. >>> IT IS NOT JUST DATA THAT IT IS COLLECTING. IT IS ALSO OPERATIONALLY USED TO OPERATE THE FACILITIES, SO WHEN SAY YOU HAD A POWER OUTAGE ACROSS THE CITY, GENERATORS WOULD BE EXPECTED TO KICK ON AT WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT AND WATER TREATMENT PLANT THAT IS WHERE THEY'RE PROPOSING TO PUT THESE HEAD-IN EQUIPMENTS WITH UPS BACKUPS SO THEN YOUR SCADA IS STILL UP. 
          SOMEONE NEEDS TO GO OUT THERE, IT DOESN'T MATTER IN THE PLC HAD A POWER BACKUP, YOU STILL 
          WOULDN'T HAVE POWER TO. TO TRUNK LIFT STATION. >> BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE 
          GENERATORS. >> RIGHT. >> ANOTHER PROPOSED RECOMMENDATION FOR IMPROVEMENT IS CONTROLLER UPGRADES. THESE ARE ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR WELLS AND YOUR ELEVATED STORAGE TANKS, THE ESTS ARE NOTED ON THIS GRAPHIC HERE THIS WOULD TAKE PLACE AT THOSE FACILITIES AS WELL AS IT WOULD TAKE PLACE AT A NUMBER OF YOUR LIFT STATIONS AS WELL, BUT NOT ALL OF YOUR LIFT STATIONS IN THAT REGARD TO THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CONTROLLER UPGRADES. THE NEXT COUPLE OF SLIDES HERE ARE IN REGARDS TO THE HMI GRAPHICS THIS IS WHAT IS SEEN BY YOUR CITY STAFF, YOUR OPERATIONS STAFF NOORDZ WHAT IS GOING ON AT THE FACILITIES WE HAVE RECOMMENDED TO STANDARDIZE YOUR HMI GRAPHICS. 
          THIS WILL INCREASE EFFICIENCY AND MAINTAINABILITY SO THAT IT IS STANDARDIZED ACROSS YOUR SYSTEM SO WHEN YOU STANDARDIZE, IT WILL PROVIDE MORE CONTEXTUALIZED INFORMATION FOR YOUR STAFF AND GREATER AWARENESS AS IT WILL BE COMMON AMONG YOUR SCADA SYSTEMS AND THEN THE LAST ONE HERE AS WELL SO THESE ARE SOME QUICK GRAPHICS OF WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING OF STANDARDIZATION OF YOUR HMI GRAPHICS. FINALLY IN THAT REGARD TO THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS THIS HERE IS THE RECOMMENDED WATER SCADA COMMUNICATION MAP. 
          WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IN FRONT OF OYOU, THE BLUE ARROWS ARE THE FIBER THAT YOU CURRENTLY HAVE IN PLACE. THE YELLOW IS SIGNIFYING THE NEW ANTENNAS THAT WOULD BE PROVIDED AT AITCH OF YOUR LOCATIONS LEAR? REGARDS TO YOUR WATER SYSTEM SO YOU SEE THAT AS IT APPLIES TO YOUR WELLS AND YOU'RE TOWERS. NOW WHAT THIS DOES ALLOW IS THAT YOU SEE THERE BETWEEN THE SURE BAS WATER TREATMENT PLANT AND PLANT 3, YOU SEE A FIBER CONNECTION THERE, BUT THERE ARE ALSO OTHER ROUTES THAT THEN ALLOWS YOU TO HAVE COMMUNICATION IN THE EVENT YOU A HAVE A BREAK IN A FIBER OR AN ITS SHOE WITH A RADIO COMMUNICATION THIS THIS CASE FOR INSTANCE, VIA RADIO YOU CAN COMMUNICATE FROM PLANT 3 TO TOWER 3 AND BACK DOWN TO THE SURFACE WATER TREATMENT PLANT OR COMMUNICATE VIA FIBER OR VIA TOWER 1 IT IS PROVIDING YOU WITH A BACKUP AND REDUNDANT SYSTEM FOR THAT COMMUNICATION IN THAT REGARD TO IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, YOUR WATER SYSTEM. 
          >> IS THERE A NEED TO HAVE MORE FIBER ATTACHMENTS FOR CONNECTION? AND AS WE BUILD OUT THE MIDDLE MILE WITHIN OUR CITY, DOES IT GIVE US THEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO 
          ADD THOSE FIBER CONNECTIONS WITH WHERE IT IS ONLY RADIO NOW? >> YES, SHORT ANSWER, YES. 
          >> JUST REAL QUICK ON THAT IS, AS PART OF THE PROCESS WE'VE BEEN DOING IS WE'VE GIVEN THESE LOCATIONS TO THE CONTRACTORS AND AS THEY BUILD IT OUT, WE HAVE TO INCLUDE AS MUCH AS WE CAN IN THE 
          FIBER BUILDUP THAT TOUCHES THESE AREAS. >> THANK YOU. 
          J AND THEN YOU ALSO HAVE A SIMILAR SET-UP ON YOUR WASTEWATER SCADA HERE BEGIN, IT IS PROVIDING YOU WITH THAT REDUNDANCY. YOU DO HAVE A FIBER IN PLACE, 
          [01:15:02]
GNU THIS IS THED DECISION OF NEW ANTENNAS FOR YOUR LIFT STATIONS THAT, AGAIN, PROVIDES THAT REDUNDANCY AND BACKUP FOR YOUR SYSTEM. SO KIND OF IN SUMMARY, WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS PROJECT? IT PROVIDES FOR SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE REDOESN'TANCY AND REDUCES YOUR SINGLE POINTS OF FAILURE AND SHORTENS RESPONSE TIMES AND INCREASES PRODUCTIVITY OF YOUR CITY STAFF, YOUR PERSONNEL. 
          IT GIVES YOU THE TRENDING CAPABILITIES WHERE YOU CAN LOOK BACKWARDS AND SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED AND ALLOWS YOU TO PROJECT WHAT MAY HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. 
          OBVIOUSLY A NEW SYSTEM PROVIDES FOR RELIABILITY AND LIFE SPAN INTO THE FUTURE. 
          AND, AGAIN, THAT ACCESS MOBILE ACCESS SECURITY MOBILE ACCESS BECOMES AVAILABLE TO YOU. 
          SO SO THE NEXT STEPS. >> COULD I ASK YOU A QUESTION REAL QUICK, ONE OF THE THINGS I NOTICED IN YOUR INITIAL SLIDES WAS THE DEFICIENCY WAS LACK OF SECURITY. 
          I DIDN'T SEE THAT LISTED ON KIND OF WHAT THE NEW SYSTEM WOULD ADDRESS, BUT I'M ASSUMING IT 
          WILL HAVE A MORE SECURE SYSTEM. >> THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION, I WAS GOING ASK JAMES TO COME UP AND EXPAND ON SOME OF THAT. BECAUSE THERE IS MORE THERE THAN SORT OF WHAT MEETS THE EYE. 
          >> OKAY. SO WHEN THEY DID THEIR INITIAL ASSESSMENT, THEY LOOKED AT THE SERVES. AND AT THE TIME THE PROGRAM WE WERE RUNNING WAS A SECURITY SERVICE THAT WAS RUNNING HOWEVER, IT IS NOT TYPICALLY INSTALLED NORMALLY, SO IT WASN'T SEEING THEY DID NOT IDENTIFY THAT. SINCE THAT TIME WE HAVE GONE AHEAD AND UPDATED ALL THE SCADA SERVICE, SO THEY'RE ALL CURRENTLY PROTECTED. 
          >> AND WE'VE WE'RE DOING NOW WE'LL JUST CONTINUE FORWARD THUNDER NEW DESIGN? 
          >> ABSOLUTELY, WE'LL MAINTAIN OUR SECURITY SOLUTION. >> OKAY, THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE 
          THAT. >> SO NEXT STEPS SO WE'RE HERE AS KEN ELUDED TO FOR A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR THE DESIGN PHASE SERVICES. I'M TALK MORE ABOUT THAT HERE IN A MINUTE AND SO THIS IS A THE DESIGN PHASE PIECE OF IT. WE WOULD POTENTIALLY BE BACK HERE IN THE NEAR FUTURE TO TALK ABOUT BID PHASE, ACTUAL BIDDING OF THE PROJECT AS WELL AS THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE SERVICE FOR THE PROJECT SO WHAT IS IN INCLUDED? ON THE WATERSIDE OF IT, IT WILL ADDRESS YOUR TEN WATER WELLS, YOUR 5 ELEVATED STORAGE TANKS YOUR TWO PUMP STATIONS WHICH ARE YOUR RIVER AND RAW WATER PUMP STATIONS THE SURFACE WATER TREATMENT PLANT, AND REPLACEMENT OF EXISTING SERVERS, OF COURSE THIS INCLUDES THE HARDWARE AS 
          WELL AS THE SECURITY THAT YOU JUST MENTIONED. >> ON THE WASTEWATER SIDE, YOUR 18, THE AS WELL AS THE REPLACEMENT OF EXISTING SERVERS AT THE OWED OOM WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT THIS ALSO INCLUDES THE UPDATE OR NEW SCADA PLATFORM WITH A NEW LICENSE RADIO SYSTEM AS I MENTIONED IN REGARDS TO THE NEW ANTENNAS WE WILL BE PUTTING INTO PLACE AS 
          FAR AS THE RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS. >> SO THE SCHEDULE FOR THE DESIGN PHASE, WE'RE SHOWING HERE A START DATE OF JUNE. WE WILL MOVE FORWARD AS SOON AS APPROVAL IS PROVIDED TO US. THIS PROCESS WILL TAKE ABOUT NINE MONTHS TO COMPLETELY GET THROUGH TO DESIGN PHASE STARTING WITH THE 30% DESIGN WORKING THROUGH 60 AND THEN 90% DESIGN AND THEN PROVIDING BID-READY DOCUMENTS FOR THE CITY FOR BIDDING OF THE PROJECT. 
          >> THE ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION FOR THE TWO PACKAGES, SO WE ARE CONSIDERING, I GUESS MOVING FORWARD WITH TWO PACKAGES FOR THE PROJECT ONE BEING THE WATER SCADA COMPONENT OF IT AND THE SECOND BEING THE WASTEWATER COMPONENT IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT TO IMPLEMENT THE WATER SCADA SYSTEM WOULD TAKE APPROXIMATELY NINE MONTHS FROM A CONSTRUCTION STANDPOINT SO THAT IS AFTER THE PROJECT HAS BID, NINE MONTHS FOR CONSTRUCTION PURPOSES THAT IS OBTAINING MATERIAL AND INSTALLING IN THE MATERIAL AND EQUIPMENT. ONCE THE WATER SYSTEM IS COMPLETE, THEN WE WOULD MOVE FORWARD WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE WASTEWATER SYSTEM. 
          IF WE MOVE FORWARD IN THIS APPROACH, WITH THE WATER SYSTEM MOVING FORWARD FIRST, THE 
          [01:20:01]
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
          WE WILL BE PROVIDING THAT INFORMATION TO THE CITY AS WELL AS A SCHEDULE UPDATE IN THAT REGARD AS TO WHICH ALL UNDERSTAND, WE ARE IN VERY INTERESTING TIMES AND REGARDS TO DELIVER DELIVERY OF OEQUIPMENT AND MATERIAL. WE'LL BE UPDATING THAT SCHEDULE AS WE GO THROUGH DE69 COORDINATING WITH MANUFACTURERS OF THE VARIOUS STEPS OF THE PROJECT. WITH THAT I'LL TAKE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. 
          >> MAYOR, I WILL ONLY BRIEFLY ADD A REMIND THEY ARE THIS WAS ONE OF THOSE EFFORTS THAT CAME OUT OF OUR CONVERSATION FOR ARPA FUNDS. AND SO OUR ARPA FUNDS IS WHAT WE'RE USING TO FUND THIS EFFORT. YOU MAY RECALL THAT WE HAD SET ASIDE A MILLION DOLLAR FOR THE FIRST PHASE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY COMING IN A LITTLE LESS THAN THAT. 
          WE'LL CROSS OVER THAT BRIDGE ONCE WE REVISIT ARPA FUNDS BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE CLEAR THIS IS 
          ONE OF THOSE PROJECTS WE'RE INITIATING WITH ARPA FUNDS. >> THANK YOU. 
          >> ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? FOR GARVER ENGINEERING. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT 
          PRESENTATION, IT WAS COMPLICATED BUT YOU DID YOUR BEST. >> YES. 
          >> ONE OF THE RARE TIMES I CAUGHT ON. >> YOU SOUNDED LIKE YOU KNEW 
          WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT. >> IS THERE A MEDICATION? >> MOVE FOR APPROVAL FOR ITEM E 
          5. >>> A MOTION AND SECOND TO APPROVE IT, ANY FURTHER 
          DISCUSSION? >> ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE, THOSE OAPS SAME SIGN. 
          [6. Approve a professional services agreement with Garver, LLC for an engi...]
          MOTION CARRIES AND ONTO E 6. >> E 6 IS PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH GARVER.

          >> THIS IS AN EXCITING TIME, WE HAVE HAVE A LOT OF THESE EVALUATIONS AND STUDIES THAT WE'RE PRESENTING TONIGHT AND WILL BE A ROAD MAP FOR PUBLIC WORKS DIVISION, THAT WILL SHOW US WHERE, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE NEED TO MOVE SOME OF THESE, YOU KNOW, OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS IN THE FUTURE. THIS ONE IS THE FOR THE REGIONAL WASTEWATER PLANT WE HAD PLANNED TO DO IMPROVEMENTS EARLIER ON AND BAR SCREENS AND CLARIFIERS AND WE PULLED BACK A LITTLE BIT AND SAID, LET'S LOOK AT THE WHOLE PLANT. LET'S LOOK AT NOT ONLY THE ITEMS, THE PROCESS OUT THERE AND ENERGY SAVINGS, LET'S ROLL IT ALL INTO ONE. 
          GARVER ENGINEERING HAS DONE A LOT OF WORK WITH THE CITY. CURRENTLY, THIS WILL TIE INTO THE SCADA SYSTEM. IT IS A GREAT MARRY TO THAT SYSTEM. 
          THEY'RE FAMILIAR WITH RJN WHO THIS WILL TIE TO THAT. THE INI THAT WILL BE THE NEXT PRESENTATION. LY LET GREG MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS ONE. 
          >> A LOT OF ENGINEERING TODAY. >>> THAT'S GREAT. >> THAT MEANS WE'RE PROGRESSING 
          [01:25:03]
          BECAUSE WE'RE WORKING. >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE AND TALK ABOUT YOUR REGIONAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY I THINK AS KEN ELUDED TO EARLIER, IT HAS BEEN A NUMBER OF YEARS SINCE THE CITY HAS DONE AN EVALUATION THERE AT YOUR REGIONAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY. SO THIS AS WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO DISCUSS IS THAT EVALUATION AND CREATING A PATH FORWARD FOR THE CITY IN THAT REGARD TO THIS FILL THIS HERE IS AN AERIAL OF THE SITE AND IT IS AND ON HERE IT CALLS OUT WHAT ARE SOME OF THOSE EXISTING FACILITIES AND HOW YOUR WASTEWATER IS TREATED HERE IN CITY. 
          AND ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE, WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS WHAT IS CAWED THE HEAD WORKS AND AFTER FLUENT LIFT STATION SCSM THIS IS WHERE IT ACTUALKY. ALTHOUGH INTO THE YOUR FEEL FACILITY. THE BIG PARTICLES ARE REMOVED. AFTER THIS LOCATION IT MOVES INTO HERE WHAT IS CALLED THE AIRERATION BASINS. THIS IS SOME OF THE HEART AND SOUL OF YOUR TREATMENT PROCESS TAKES PLACE AND WHERE THE BIOLOGICAL TEAM HAPPENS IN A WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY. FROM THERE IT FLOWS TO YOUR CLARIFIERS AND YOU'RE SETTLING OUT SO OF THE SMALLER PARTICLE IN THE WASTEWATER TEAM PLANT PROCESS AND FROM THERE IT FLOWT TO YOUR DISINFECTION PROCESS. THE CITY CURRENTLY USE UTILIZES CHLORINE FOR DISINFECTION PURPOSES THAT IS A REQUIREMENT THAT YOU DISINFECT AND THEN YOU USE SULFUR DIOXIDE AS ANOTHER REQUIREMENT AS FAR AS THE BASIC BASICALLY THAT IS LEAVING YOUR WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY AND THEN FLOWING OR BEING DISCHARGED FROM THE PLANT. WHAT YOU ALSO SEE HERE ON THE FAR LEFT HAND SIDE OR OI GUESS THE LEFT-HAND SIDE I'LL SAY YOU SEE AN AIR RATED SLUDGE HOLDING TANK. THIS IS A LOCATION WHERE THE SOLIDS THAT ARE CEMENTED OUT OF YOUR PROCESS ARE FLOW-TO OR A PUMPED-TO AND THESE WATERS ARE DEWATERED AND TAKEN OFF SITE FOR PROPER DIS. A OVERVIEW OF THE PROVIDESES WE'RE LOOKING AT IN REGARDS TO THE EVALUATION WHAT IS MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE VALUATION IS TO IDENTIFY OCOST IIVELGTIVE STRATEGIES FOR ENHANCING PERFORMANCE AND EFFICIENCY AT THE TREATMENT FACILITY. 
          SO WE WILL ADDRESS THIS AGING INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE HAVE ELUDED TO, WE WILL EVALUATION POTENTIAL THE FUTURE FLOWS AT YOUR FACILITY. THAT IS ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT WE'LL BE DOING IS WHAT DO YOUR CURRENT FLOWS LOOK LIKE AND HOW DOES THAT FLOW INTO THE FUTURE. SOME OF THE KEY PROCESSS ARE THE AIRERATION BASE WITHINS THAT CONTAIN MECHANICAL AIR RATERS THERE ARE POTENTIALLY MORE EFFICIENT WAYS TO INCORPSERATION AIRERATION INTO YOUR WASTEWATER SYSTEM. WE WILL BE EVALUATING THAT, LOOKING AT YOUR CLARIFIERS AND THEIR OPERATION AND THEIR CURRENT -- THE CURRENT SYSTEM THAT IS THERE. LOOKING AT YOUR DEWATERING SYSTEM IN THAT REGARD TO DEWATERGATE OF THE SOLIDS THAT I NOTED AS WELL AS YOU'RE LOOKING AT ACCESS DURING THE FLOOD EVENTS. SO FROM THIS ENTIRE EVALUATION OF LOOKING AT YOUR TREATMENT FACILITY, WE WILL DEVELOP THIS PRIORITIZED LIST OF CIP PROJECTS THAT WILL AL YOU, THE CITY TO MOVE FORWARD EITHER AS A SINGLE PROJECT, OR OVER TIME, IMPLEMENTING THESE IMPROVEMENTS AS WHAT IS DEEMED BEST IN THE CITY'S INTEREST. IS WHAT ARE THESE NEXT STEPS? SO THE SCOPE BASICALLY SIX KEY TASK, WE WILL PRODUCE TWO TMS AND I NOTICED THE PROJECT SHEETS THE FIRST THREE TASKS WHICH ARE TASK ONE, TWO AND THREE WILL BE EVALUATING BASICALLY YOUR EXISTING SYSTEM THAT IS LOOKING AT EXISTING FLOWS AND LOADS AT THE TREATMENT FACILITY, EVALUATING THE CONDITION OF YOUR EXISTING SYSTEM, SO BRIAN CHONG IS HERE, BUT WE'LL ALSO HAVE STRUCTURAL PEOPLE ON SITE DOING SITE ASSESSMENTS REGARDS TO WHAT IS THE CONDITION OF YOUR STRUCTURE AS WELL AS MECHANICAL LEADS ON SITE LOOKING AT YOUR EXISTING EQUIPMENT AND MAKING ASSESSMENTS OF THAT EXISTING EQUIPMENT. IN ADDITION TO THAT WE WILL ALSO REVIEW IN THAT REGARD TO YOUR TREATMENT FACILITY AND HOW THAT RELATES TO CURRENTAS WELL AS POE REGULATIONS. NA WILL ALL BE -- IN THIS PHASE HERE, WE WILL BE LOOKING AT YOUR 
          [01:30:02]
EXISTING SYSTEM AND SUMMARIZING THAT IN A TECHNICAL MEMO, WHICH WILL THEN BE PROVIDED TO YOUR CITY STAFF, REVIEWED AND THEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS KIND OF TECH MEMO WE WE'RE THEN LOOKING INTO THE FINDINGS UNDER THE NEXT TASK, WHICH ARE TASKS 4, FIVE AND SIX AND TASKS FOUR, FIVE AND 6, TASK 4 WILL BE LOOKING AT THE PROCESS SIDE OF YOUR TREATMENT FACILITY AND EVALUATING THE TREATMENT PROCESS AND AGAIN, LOOKING AT THE CAPACITY OF THAT TREATMENT PROCESS. 
          WE WILL ALSO BE LOOKING AT THE HYDRAULIC CAPACITY OF THAT REGIONAL PLANT SO YOU HAVE TWO COMPONENTS HERE, YOU HAVE THE ACTUAL TREATMENT OF THE LOADINGS THAT ARE COMING INTO YOUR TREATMENT FACILITY, BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO HYDRAULICCHY BE ABLE TO PASS THOSE LOADINGS FROM A FLOW STANDPOINT THROUGH YOUR TREATMENT FACILITY. SO WE WILL DEVELOP A PROCESS MODEL AND A HYDRAULIC MODEL TO LOOK AT THE PROCESS SIDE AND THE HYDRAULIC SIDE OF YOURFACE WATER TREATMENT FACILITY. AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE WILL EVAULT THE ELECTRICAL AND CONTROLS OF YOUR EXISTING SYSTEM AND AS KEN ELUDED TO HOW THOSE CONTROLS FIT INTO THE SCADA WORK THAT WE'RE ALSO PROPOSE OR HAS BEEN APPROVED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH UNDERSTAND THAT IS COMPLETED THAT WILL BE SUBMITTED TO CITY STAFF FOR REVIEW AND BASED ON THEIR FINDINGS WE'LL MOVE FORWARD INTO TASK 7 WHICH IS THE CIP PLANNING DOCUMENTS AND PROVIDING THE CITY ABILITY T ABILITY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH FUTURE PROJECTS THERE AT THEFACE WATER PLANT. 
          IS SO THIS PROFESSIONAL SERVICES GRAEME, THIS STUDY PHASE WILL TAKE APPROXIMATELY SIX TO EIGHT MONTHS TO COMPLETE. AND WE WILL PROVIDE A MORE DETAILED SCHEDULE ONCE WE GET UNDERSTAND COT TO YOUR CITY STAFF, AGAIN, THOSE MAJOR COMPONENTS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AT YOUR TREATMENT FACILITY OR THE SUBJECT RECEIVING HEAD WORKS YOUR BIOLOGICAL BASINS THE AIRERATION BASINS ON THE INITIAL GRAPHICS, THE CLAIREIFIERS,S WILL YOUR AIR RATED SLUDGE HOLDING TANKS AND DEWATERING SYSTEM. THIS PROJECT, THE FEE, THE $225,000 ARE MADE OF UP 8 TASKS A BREAKDOWN OF THOSE TASK ASKS INCLUDES TASK WHICH ARE MEETINGS YOUR CITY STAFF AS WELL AS COMING BACK TO YOU IN THAT REGARD TO A COUNCIL PRESENTATION IN THAT REGARD TO OUR FINDINGS ARE FOR HOW TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE REGIONAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT. AND WITH THAT I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. 
          >> I'LL SIMPLY ADD THAT WE HAD IN THE BUDGE SOME FUNDS TO MODERNIZE A OPERATION'S MANUAL AT THE REGULARRAL WEST WATER TREATMENT PLANT, WHICH THAT ITEM FOR OTHER FACILITIES WILL COME AT THE NEXT MEETING BUT MY POINT IS WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT, WE THOUGHT MAYBE WE OUGHT TO LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THE UPGRADES THAT NEED TO BE MADE AT THE PLANT BEFORE WE EXPEND FUND ON MODERNIZING A MANUAL FOR IT IF IT IS GOING TO BE OBABSOLUTE IN A FEW YEARS. 
          WE'RE IN ESSENCE TAKING THE MONEY WE HAD IN THE BUDGET FOR AND APPLYING IT TOWARDS THIS 
          EXERCISE AS A PRIORITITY ITEM. MAKES SENSE. >> ALL. 
          >> MOTION? >> MOVE WE ADOPT E 6 OR E 7? >> E 6NESS. 
          >> SECOND. >> MOTION AND A SECOND, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? 
          >> ALL THOSE IN FAVOR AAYE? THOSE OPPOSE SAME SIGN. E 6 CARRIES AND MR. GIL. 
          >> THANK YOU Y'ALL. >> THANK YOU. >> ESEN IS A RESOLUTION 
          [7. Approve a professional services agreement with RJN Group, Inc. for an ...]
APPROVING A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT ARE RJN GROUP WITH INFLOW INFILTRATION TORE INFLOW AND INFILTRATION STUDY THE SANITARY SEWER COLLECTION SYSTEM IN THE AMOUNT OF 
          $1,254,945. >>> ONE WE VOTED AS AN EMERGENCY, WE HAD A CONTRACTOR OIT IS COMPLETED. THEY DID FIND THAT THAT 36-INCH MAIN HAD A LARGE GAP IN IT IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED. WE HAVE HAD CONFIRMED IT, CONCLUDED IT, MET WITH TCQ 
          [01:35:02]
THROUGH E-MAILS AND WE HAVE CLOSED THAT OVERFLOW. I WOULDN'T CALL IT A VIOLATION. 
          IT WAS MORE OF A SLAP IN THE HAND, A HARD SLAP, BUT WE HAVE CLOSED THAT GAP AND NOW WE'RE MOVING INTO THE INFLOW AND INFILTRATION WHICH WE'VE LOOKED AT WITH RJN GROUP SELECTED THEM AS PART OF THE ONE OF THE BEST COMPANY THEY'VE DONE WORK HERE BEFORE WITH US. 
          QUESTION HAVE JASON MALDONADO AND JOSE MALDONADO. THEY'RE NOT BROTHER, I ALREADY ASKED THAT QUESTION. THEY HAVE DONE VERY WELL IN OTHER CITIES. 
          THEY ARE WORKING IN TEMP, TEXAS DOING THEIR IONIZED STUDY. ONE OF THE THINGS AND I WON'T 
          GET INTO IT I WON'T STEAL THEIR THUNDER, I'LL LET THEM GO. >>> MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HAVING US MY NAME IS JAYSON MALDONADO AND I WORK FOR RJN. 
          AND RJN I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE OBTAIN ABOUT US LATER WE'RE CONDITION ASSESSMENT AND COLLECTION SYSTEM SPECIALISTS. BASICALLY A COLLECTION SYSTEM IS THAT WASTEWATER CONVEYANCE THAT WILL TRANSPORT WASTEWATER FROM THE HOUSES INDUSTRY, BUSINESSES, TO TREATMENT PLANT. 
          AND AT TIMES, THESE WILL HAVE A TENDENCY TO BACK UP FOR CERTAIN REASONS AND SO KIND OF BY THE IPA WHEN THERE IS A BACKUP THEY CALL IT IS SANGTARY SEWER OVERFLOW WHEN THE SYSTEM IS BASICALLY EXCEED. SOMETIMES THAT CAN HAPPEN UNDER WET WEATHER EVENT LIKE A RAIN OR DURING A DRY WEATHER PERIOD LIKE A MECHANICAL FAILURE. AND THEY CAN BE A PROBLEM. 
          THE EPA DOES REGULATE THESE AND THEY WEREN'T REPORTING ON THESE ITEMS AND ESSENTIALLY THAT WHENEVER THERE IS AN SSO, SANITARY SUEIR OVERFLOW, YOU KNOW, THAT SPILLAGE DOES HAVE SANGTARY WASTE IN IT. THOSE ARE THINGS IF THEY GET INTO THE RIVER THEY CAN CAUSE CLOSURE FOR SWIMMING AND CAN ALSO BE A HEALTH HAZARD PROBLEM IF THEY BACK INTO A HOUSE AND CONTAMINATE YOUR WATER SUPPLY HOW OFTEN DOES THIS HAPPEN? THE EPA DOES REGULATE AND TRACK THESE AND ESTIMATE BETWEEN 23 TO 75,000 SSOS HAPPEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY. 
          AND WHAT THAT RELATES TO IS SEVERAL BILLION GALLONS OF WASTEWATER GETTING OUR STREAMS. AND SO, AGAIN, CLOSURES OF BEACHES, DRINKING WATER SUPPLIES, THOSE ARE ALL AFFECTED. AND WHAT CAUSES THESE? THINGS LIKE UNDERSIZED PIPES. 
          THE AGING OF INFRASTRUCTURE, THAT IS OILS OILS AND GREASES CG FROM RESTAURANTS RESTAURANTS ANE SYSTEM INFLOW AND INFILTRATION. THE INFILTRATION IS BASICALLY GROUNDWATER THAT COMES UP THERE THROUGH THE JOISTS OR MAYBE CRACKS WITHIN THE SYSTEM AND THAT WILL TAKE UP CAPACITY WITHIN THE PIPE. OTHER THINGS ARE THE INFLOW. THE INFLOW IS BASICALLY A DIRECT ENTRANCE INTO THE SYSTEM AND THAT COULD BE FROM A DOWNSPOUT COMING FROM A ROOF, A LOT OF WATER GOING INTO THE SANITARY, MAYBE THERE IS CLEANOUTS THAT ARE BROKEN OR PULLED OFF AND JUST DRAINING A YARD. SEVERAL WAYS THAT CAN HAPPEN, EVEN MAN HOLES. 
          AND AGAIN, A LITTLE BIT ABOUT RJN. WE'VE BEEN AROUND FOR QUITE A WHILE, AND THIS IS REALLY WHAT WE FOCUS ON THIS IS THE ONLY THING ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE LIKE TO FOCUS ON OUR CULTURE IS REALLY WITHIN THAT INSPECTION MENTALITY, FINDING LOW-HANGING FUTURE FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IMPACTS TO YOUR SYSTEM IMMEDIATELY. 
          WE'RE A NICHE YOU WON'T SEE US DOING A WASTEWATER PLANT DESIGN OR OANYTHING THIS IS WHAT WE LIKE TO FOCUS ON. WE HAVE OFFICES IN HOUSTON AND SAN ANTONIO AND LOOKING FOR PROPERTY OVER HERE. AND WE HAVE HAD A HISTORY WITH YOU BEFORE IN THE PAST. 
          WE'VE DON PROJECTS IN 2008 AND 2011, AND WE ARE DOING SOME WORK WITH SOME OTHER COMMUNITIES LIKE YOU MENTIONED. THE AGREED ORDER WITH CITY OF TEMPLE RICHARDSON TEXAS, CONSENT DECREES BIGGER AND WITH THE EPA DOING THINGS FOR THE SAN ANTONIO WATER AUTHORITY AND CITY OF HOUSTON I WANT TO PASS THIS ONTO JOSE, AND AGAIN WEEKS NOT BROTHERS. 
          [01:40:04]
          >> COUSIN? NO, THERE IS A SURVEY, THOUGH, AWN UNSOLICITED SURVEY ON WHO IS CUTER AND RIGHT NOW JOSE IS CUTER AND I RENOUNCE THOSE BECAUSE I THINK THE ONLY TWO PEOPLE VOTING IN THAT WAS MY DAUGHTER AND HER FRIENDS. I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANY VALIDITY TO THAT. BUT ANY RATE HE'S GOING TO BE THE PM AND TALK ABOUT THE DIFFERENT METHODS WE'RE GOING BE DOING AND THIS IS A PHASED PROACH, WE'RE LOOKING AT A START AND METHODOLOGIES THAT GOES ONTO A PHASED APPROACH. 1KWR. 
          >> THANKS JASON AND GOOD EVENING COUNCIL. LIKE YOU MENTIONED THIS IS GOING TO BE A PHASED APPROACH, OBVIOUSLY THE CITY OF VICTORIA IS VERY LARGE, 1.AIL MILLION FEET AS FAR AS YOUR COLLECTION SYSTEM IS VERY, VERY LARGE, THE. THE APPROACH WE WANT TO TAKE IS HOW DO WE FOCUS IN ON WHERE WE NEED TO TARGET OUR FUNDS AND WORK OUR CIP AND ACTUALLY MAKE THE BIGGEST IMPACT WITH SPENDING THE LEAST AMOUNT OF MONEY THE YOU'RE GOING GET A REPORT FOR YOUR MODEL AND A OPERATABLE MODEL YOU CAN USE AND WHEN WITH US GET TO THE FOCUSED LOCATION YOU'LL HAVE A SOURCE DEFECT ANALYSIS THAT WILL TELL YOU HOW MUCH INI YOU ARE EXPECTED TO REDUCE BASED ON DOING THOSE IMPROVEMENTS THIS PROJECT IS LONGER, AS YOU'LL SEE WE'LL HAVE OVERLAPPING TASKS BUT WILL BE CLOSER TO THE 18-MONTH PERIOD A LOT OF WORK THAT WE DO IS VERY MUCH APPROACHED -- AFFECTED BY WEATHER. WON'T GET TOO AHEAD OF MYSELF BUT AS FAR AS ON THE FLOW MONITORING THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT THE CITY OF VICTORIA YOU SEE HERE, BUT WHAT WE'RE GOING BE DOING IS DICING UP YOUR CITY INTO RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT 31 BASINS AND A LOT OF THIS COMES TO PLAY IN BUDGET. YOU CAN GET AS SMALL ASIO WANT BUT EVERYTHING COSTS MONEY. WE'RE LOOKING TO DO 31 BASINS WHICH AVERAGES ABOUT 60,000 FEET PER BASIN, SOME WILL BE SLIGHTLY BIGGER AND SOME A LITTLE BIT SMALLER BUT THAT GIVES YOU A GOOD IDEA WHERE TO FOCUS IN. WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET HERE IS OF THESE 31 WHICH ARE THE ONES THAT ARE THE HIGHEST PRIORITY GIVING YOU THE MOST INI AND THEN WE CAN GO IN AND DO MORE ANALYSIS AND THEN ACTUALLY DO CONSTRUCTION WORK SO THIS IS WHAT IS THIS IS GOING TO DO. 
          YOU KNOW, WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS IN WHEN WE DO THIS, WE WORK TOGETHER WITH THE CITY IS WHAT ARE BASINS THAT MAKE SENSE? OBVIOUSLY IT IS NOT AS EASY AS DRAWING LINES ON A MAP. 
          THE SYSTEM HAS CONNECTIVITY, THERE IS SOME -- I'VE HAD PREVIEW OF THE GIS AND INTERESTING CONNECTIONS HOW THE SYSTEM IS SET UP AND WILL GROW OVER TIME, CALLS ARE MADE AT A CERTAIN TIME THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE NOW BUT MADE SENSE BACK THEN. 
          THOSE ARE THINGS WE NEED TO LOOK AT WITHIN OUR SYSTEM. >> THAT MODEL IS GOING TO FEED OUR HYDRAULIC MODEL REALLY IMPORTANT TO GET AN IDEA WHAT FLOWS ARE ACTUALLY COMING INTO THE SYSTEM. THIS IS GOING TO BE IMPORTANT BOTH FOR THE PLANT, BUT ALSO FOR OUR COLLECTIONS SYSTEM YOU HAVE COLLECTIONS ON BOTH SIDES WAS ALL THESE FLOWS COMING INTO YOUR SYSTEM AND YOU'RE TAKING THEM IN ARE GETS TO THE PLANT, CAUSING MORE EXPANSIONS AND OBVIOUSLY, CAN RESTRICT YOUR FUTURE GROWTH. BECAUSE AGAIN, WE'RE NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT INI, BUT THIS IS ALSO TO GIVE YOU OPPORTUNITY FOR GROWTH AS YOU REDUCE THE INI ON YOUR SYSTEM. 
          ALSO, THE IT MAY JUST BE REPLACING, YOU KNOW, COUPLE THOUSAND IS SAND FEET OF PIPE SO THIS IS GETTING THE MODEL AND FLOWS CALIBRATED AS SEEING IT AS IT SHOULD BE AT LEAST AS CLOSE AS WE CAN. THIS IS GOING BE DONE, NEED TO HAVE INFORMATION FROM THE FLOW MONITORING WE CAN KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THESE MAN HOLES ARE AND MORE IMPORTANTLY AND VERTICALLY 
          [01:45:07]
WHAT IS THE ELEVATION OF EACH MAN HOLE, WE'RE ON THE GULF COAST EVERYTHING HERE IS FAIRLY FLAT, WE DON'T HAVE A BIG ELEVATION, SO A FEW INCHESES CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE. 
          WE'LL BE GETTING AHEAD OF THAT WHILE THE FLOW MONITORING HAS STARTED THAT WILL BE ONE OF THE FIRST TASKS THEY'RE WE'RE DOING IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FLOW MONITORING. 
          ONCE WE HAVE A FLOW MONITORING ON DEPLETE WHAT WE'RE GOING HAVE IS PRIORITIZATION. 
          1 THROUGH 31, THE TOP ONES YOU WANT TO FOCUS IN. BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE A PROJECT AND WORKED WITH KEN ON THIS, YOU JUST HAVE A REPORT AND REALLY NOTHING YOU CAN ACT ON IMMEDIATELY. WE ACTUALLY INCLUDED SOME BUDGET IN HERE FOR US TO ACTUALLY GET SOME FIELD INVESTIGATIONS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING SOME SMOKE TESTING LIKE YOU SEE SO WE CAN FIND OUT ANY MAINLINE ISSUES CLEANOUT ISSUES ON THE PRIVATE SIDE AND DO MAN HOLE INSPECTIONS SO THIS HERE CAN GIVE YOU A REALLY GOOD IDEA OF WHERE YOU ACTUALLY MAY NEED TO DO A PROJECT. IN THE FLOW MONITORING AND THE MODEL ARE VERY BIG SCALE IT IS GOING TO GIVE YOU IDEAS WERE TO GO NEXT BUT IT WON'T NECESSARILY GIVE YOU A PROJECT DAY ONE. 
          THIS HERE WILL GIVE YOU A PROJECT DAY ONE. WE'LL BE FOCUSING ON THE HIGH PRIORITY AREAS. KEN MENTIONED BOTTOM STREET IS AN AREA THAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BEFORE OF ISSUE AS IN WE'VE HAD BEFORE. THAT IS GOING TO BE ONE THAT WE'RE CONSIDERING AS FAR AS HIGH PRIORITY AND LOOKING TO DO SOME CCTV INSPECTIONS FOR THOSE AREAS WHICH CCTV IS A GREAT TOOL BUT CAN BE VERY COSTLY, WE TRY TO LIMIT WHICH AREAS WE FOCUS IN ON, THAT BUT THIS IS DEFINITELY ONE THAT IT WOULDN'T MAYBE MAKE SENSE TO GO OVER THERE AND DO THAT 24 GIVES YOU A GENERAL SCHEDULE FOR THE PROJECT. THOSE LINES CAN MOVE AROUND QUITE A BIT. I MENTIONED HOW WEATHER CAN PLAY A FACTOR WITH FLOW MONITORING ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE TRYING TO GET IS DRY WEATHER. WHAT IS YOUR NORMAL DAY-TO-DAY GO WITHOUT RAIN. WE CAN'T TO KNOW HOW BAD RAIN CAN GET AND HOW YOUR SYSTEM REACTS TO THAT I THINK RIGHT NOW WE'RE PLANNING FOR ABOUT 90 DAYS WHICH WOULD CAPTURE THOSE RAINS BUT OBVIOUSLY DOWN, HOW WEATHER CAN BE HERE, WE CAN HAVE A DOUBT AND WE CAN HAVE HARVEY'S ALL THE TIME WITH ALL KINDS OF STORMS FOR WHAT WE NEED FOR THE HYDRAULIC MODEL. 
          AS YOU CAN SEE IT IS SO SPREAD OUT LIKE I MENTIONED DOING THE FIELD CONNECTION OF THE GPS LOCATIONS WILL BE CRITICAL AND STARTING EARLY BUT WE NEED TO HAVE THE FLOW MONITORING COMPLETED IN ORDER FOR US TO COMPLETE OUR MODEL AND CAL BRAID IT AND ALSO ANOTHER ONE THAT IS DRIVEN BY WEATHER. WE CAN'T DO SMOKE TESTING WHILE IT IS WET OR AFTER IT RAINS BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IT IS NOT GOING TO GIVE US THE RESULTS THAT WE NEED. 
          AND MAN HOLE INSPECTIONS WE CAN DO IT A LOT EASIER, BUT, YOU KNOW, RAIN ALSO CAUSES AN ISSUE BECAUSE SOMETIMES OUR SYSTEMS GET SURCHARGEED AND IF WE CAN'T SEE THE BOTTOM OF THE MAN HOLES WE CAN'T GET A COMPLETE INSPECTIONS, THOSE CAN BE EXTENDED OUT WE'RE DEFINITELY LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT AND WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS AND LIKE JASON SAID, WE'RE LOOKING FOR A SPOT FOR OUR CREWS TO BE OUT HERE BECAUSE THEY WILL BE OUT HERE FOR A WHILE. THANK YOU. ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR HIM? I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE THE RESULT. 
          >> INDEED. >> AS A REMINDER THIS IS ANOTHER PROJECT THAT STEMMED OUT OF OUR CONVERSATION FROM ARPA YOU KNOW, THIS ALONG WITH SCADA ARE OBVIOUSLY TOO LARGE TRANSFORMATIONAL PRONGJECTS THAT HELP OUR UTILITY SYSTEM TO BE MORE RESILIENT AND THIS IS HUGE. 
          THANK YOU. >> I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. >> YES, MA'AM. 
          >> THIS MILLION DOLLAR IS GOING TO COVER HOW MUCH? YOU SAID 30% OF OUR -- OR DID I HEAR IT WRONG? IS IT GOING TO DO ALL OF OUR SEWER SANORY SEWER LINE? 
          >> NO. >> GO FOR IT, YOU'RE THE ENGINEER, MAN. 
          >> SO WHAT WE HAVE IN HERE FOR THE $1.2 MILLION SO FOR THE FLOW MONITOR IT COVER THE ENTIRE CITY. WE'RE GOING TO CHOP IT UP IN 31 PIECES, THAT IS THE ENTIRE CITY. 
          THE MODEL ALSO IS GOING TO INCLUDE THE ENTIRE CITY. THE ONLY THING WHEN WE GET TO 
          [01:50:02]
THE SSES WHEN WE GO TO SMOKE. IT WON'T COVER, THAT THAT WE ONLY HAVE A BUDGET OF 292 FEET. 
          AND WE WANT THE APPROACH THIS IS THE BEGINNING AND WE'RE GOING HAVE OTHER BASINS THAT WILL BE LAID OUT FOR THE FUTURE. AND UNDER THIS PROJECT WE ONLY PLANNED OUT WE CALL YEAR 1 ROUNDS UP TO MORE OF A YEAR AND A HALF. WE EXPECT THERE WILL BE MORE WORK THAT WILL COME FROM THIS ALSO, BECAUSE 300,000 FEET AS YOU COULD IMAGINE, THAT IS ONLY A VERY SMALL PORTION OF THE 1.8 MILLION THAT YOU HAVE AND SO THERE WILL BE SUBSEQUENT STUDIES THAT WILL BE NEEDED TO COVER YOUR CITY, BUT YES ON THE FLOW MONITORING SIDE AND HYDRAULIC 
          MODEL IT WILL COVER YOUR CITY. >> OKAY, SO LET ME UNDERSTAND, WHAT YOUR STUDY IS GOING TO DO IS GO AROUND ALL OF OUR UNDERGROUNDWATER SEWER SYSTEM AND SEE IF THERE ANY BREAKS OR 
          ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE BREAKS. >> THAT IS JUST FOR SUEER. 
          >> JUST FOR THE SUEER. >> JUST FOR SEWER. >> WOW. 
          OKAY. >> THAT'S A LOT. >>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID WHEN WE STARTED LOOKING INTO THIS, OUR STAFF, WE KNOW WHICH AREAS OF WHICH LIFT STATIONS ARE GETTING INUNDATED WHEN IT RAINS THAT LEFT STATION IS JUST, JUST PUMPING ITS BRAINS OUT, ALL THREE PUMPS ARE GOING. WE HAVE AN IDEA OF WHERE THESE INFLOWS AND THESE EXCESSIVE FLOWS ARE COMING INTO THE SEWER ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE ALL DISCUSSED SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE FOR 30 YEARS IS SOUTHEAST VICTORIA. THERE ARE A MULTITUDE OF SEWER LINES THAT WE'VE GOT A NEW ONE, A 54-INCH THAT WE DID WITH TC & B PROBABLY 10, 15 YEARS AGO. 
          BUT RIGHT NEXT TO THAT THERE IS A 30-INCH AND A 36 AND YOU CAN ASK PEOPLE THAT HAVE WORKED HERE FOR 30 YEARS, 35, 40 YEARS AND THEY'LL SAY, WELL, I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT THAT DOES. 
          SO THIS, WE WANT TO FOCUS -- YEAH, WE WANT TO FOCUS ON THOSE HOLDSER LINES, FIND OUT WHAT THEY'RE DOING. CAN WE ABANDON THEM BECAUSE THEY MAY ONLY HAVE A QUARTER FLOW I N IT WHEN IT IS DRY, BUT WHEN IT IS RAINING, IT IS FULL FLOWS AND IT IS OVERFLOWING, THAT IS WERE OUR GUT FELT TELLS US THAT IS AN AREA. IT IS GOING TO AT FIRST CONFIRM 
          IT AND THEN WE GO INTO THE NEXT STEP. >> DID THAT ANSWER? 
          >> YEAH, JUST MORE COST COMING DOWN THE ROAD. >> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY, RIGHT. 
          AND WE RECOGNIZE THAT IS PART OF IT. AND, YOU KNOW IF WE LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE OF, JUST HOW WE'RE APPROACHING OUR CIP DEVELOPMENT NOW, RIGHT, VERY INTENTIONAL, WE'RE FOCUSED ON THE EXISTING PLANNING WINDOW THAT ONLY TAKES US THROUGHTICIAL YEAR 26 AND SO WE KNOW THAT THERE IS A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE AS WE START ADDRESS THE OUTER YARDS OF THAT CIP PLANNING WINDOW AND AS WE START A CONVERSATION FOR OUR FUTURE PLANNING WINDOW, RIGHT. 
          AND THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF, IT MAKES SENSE TO TAKE THE TIME THE FIGURE OUT WHAT OUR ISSUES ARE BEFORE WE START, YOU KNOW, THROWING PROJECTS OUT THERE, YOU KNOW, FIVE, 6, 7 YEARS AWAY WHEN IT IS LIKE, WAIT, WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE NEED TO PRIORITIZE. 
          AND SO THIS WILL HELP SHAPE THAT. >> THAT'S GOOD. 
          >>> US MANY TALKED ABOUT IT THE 8020 RULE. IF WE SCAN IDENTIFY 20% OF THE PROBLEMS CAUSING 80% OF OUR HEADACHE, WE'RE MUCH MORE AHEAD THAN IF WE JUST DID THE WHOLE CITY. AND WE HAD LOOKED AT IT WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT HOW BIG A SCOPE THE IONIZED STUDY WOULD BE IF WE TOOK ON THE WHOLE CITY AND REALIZED WE NEEDED TO SCALE IT BACK. THAT IS WHERE WE ARE WITH THE SCALEBACK ON IT. 
          >> I THINK INITIALLY WE DID SORT OF PRICE OUT MORE OR LESS WHAT IT COULD COST IF WE DID 
          EVERYTHING FOR EVERY 1.WHATEVER HOW MANY BILLION? >> 1.8 MILLION AND IT WAS 
          ROUGHLY FOUR MILLION? >> YES. AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO BE INTENTIONAL AND STRATEGIC. YOU KNOW, DO WE REALLY NEED TO DO IT TO EXINNOCENT AREAS WHERE 
          WE KNOW THE INFRASTRUCTURE VIS THAN 10 YEAR OLD. >> PROBABLY NOT. 
          >>> MAYBE NOT. AND SO LET'S BE REALISTIC ABOUT PRIORITIZING THE QUADRANT OF OUR 
          COMMUNITY THAT WE KNOW THE BULK OF THE ISSUE EXISTS. >> IT IS NOT ALL BAD NEWS THAT COMES OUT OF THIS, YOU KNOW. WE WERE FINISHING A STUDY TOWARDS THE GALVESTON AREA. 
          AND THEIR SYSTEM IT WAS A MIX. SOME VERY OLD, BUT THEY HAD A LOT OF NEW DEVELOPMENT TO WHERE 
          [01:55:06]
THAT PRIORITIZATION JUST HIT LESS THAN HALF OF THEIR SYSTEM THAT WE NEEDED TO GO LOOK AT IT IF REST OF IT WE SAID, SURE, I DIDN'T, THERE IS A LITTLE I& I, BUT IS IT WITHIN MEASURE THAT ARE ACCEPTABLE? AND WE HAD A LOT OF GRAY AREAS THAT WE REALLY NO ACTION IS NEEDED. SOME THINGS MAY COME UP BUT IN GENERAL NOT SOMETHING WE NEED TO FOCUS ON. IT GIVES YOU A GOOD IDEA WHERE YOUR SYSTEM IS AT. 
          THAT IS THE MAIN THING. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. >> MOTION AND A SECOND. 
          >> MOVEED AND APPROVED ITEM E 7. >> SECOND. >> ALL RIGHT, A MOTION AND A 
          SECOND, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? >> SEEING NONE, THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. 
          >>> AYE. KNOWS OPPOSE SAME SIGN. E 7 CARRIES AND WE'RE GOING TO 
          [1. Environmental Services Annual Report. Darryl Lesak, Director of Enviro...]
          GO INTO THESY MANAGER REPORTS. >> YES, SIR. WHEN DARRYL ITSAC FOUND OUT TODAY WAS THE DAY FOR CITY ATTORNEYS AND ENGINEERS, HE'S LIKE, THAT'S MY BUNCH. 
          I NEED TO BE ON THAT MEETING AND SO HERE WE ARE. AND SO HE'LL PRESENT THE ANNUAL 
          REPORT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICE. >> AND I DO HAVE AN ENGINEERING REPORT I'LL GET TO INTO THE MIDDLE OF MINE THAT WILL ONLY TAKE ABOUT 45 MINUTES SO GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THIS IS MY CHANCE TO GET UP ONCE A YEAR AND TALK ABOUT THE GOOD THINGS THAT THAT ALL THE PEOPLE IN ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES DO FROM THE GARAGE MEN THAT PICK UP YOUR BUSH AND YARD WASTE AND TRASH ON A WEEKLY BASIS, TO OUR INTERNAL STAFF THAT T HEADS UP KEEP VICTORIA BEAUTIFUL AND ALL THE OTHER FUN THINGS THAT WE DO. AND SO I WOULD NOT BE UP HERE WITHOUT THEM. THEY'RE THE HEART AND SOUL OF DEPARTMENT AND THEY'RE THE ONES THAT DESERVE THE CRED IT'S FOR WHAT I'M FIXING TO GO OVER. IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO SEE IT THERE IS A NEW MOVIE OUT ABOUT SOME OF MY SOLID WASTE FOLKS. 
          IT WAS EYE-OPENING TO ME. I DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE MAKE OING OF THIS. 
          AND IT KIND OF GIVES YOU AN INSIDE LOOK AT HOW MY GUYS OPERATE, MY SUPERVISOR AND TWO OF MY DRIVERS AND I THINK YOU'LL FIND IT INTERESTING. SO WE'RE GOING TO START OFF WITH COMMUNITY APPEARANCE AND KEEP VICTORIA BEAUTIFUL THINGS INOT GOING TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THESE BECAUSE I WAS TOLD TO KEEP IT TO THREE MINUTES THAT MEANS I HAVE TO DO ONE SLIDE EVERY 20 SECONDS OR SO SO WE DID THE CLEAN SWEEP, WE DID THE MARKWAY -- PARKWAY CLEANUP, SILVER CITY CLEANUP, EARTH DAY COMING UP THIS WEEKEND. AND YOU CAN SEE ALL THE CLEAN SWEEPS THAT WE'VE DONE, THOSE ARE AREAS WE DO AROUND TOWN AND THAT IS WHAT WE'LL BE DOING SOME OF THIS WEEKEND AS WELL. THIS I'M GOING TO SPEND A LITTLE TIME ON. 
          SILVER CITY CLEANUP, THANKS TO THOSE WHO SHOWED UP, I'LL GET TO OUR LIST OF SUPPORTSERS HERE IN A MINUTE, BUT WE HAD 160 VOLUNTEERS, WE DID 202 ADDRESSES. 
          WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT? WELL, I'M GOING TO SHARE A NUMBER WITH YOU. 
          WE PICKED UP 660 POUNDS AT THOSE 202 HOMES PER HOME. >> 59-TONS OF LARGE ITEMS, 8 DAWN OF BRUSH AND THIS WAS ALL DONE BEFORE NOON. THAT IS THE BIGGEST NEIGHBORHOOD CLEANUP WE'VE DONE. WE'LL BE DOING THE SECOND HALF OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD THIS NOVEMBER. SO KEEP THAT IN MIND. FIRE DEPARTMENT INSTALLED 36 SMOKE DETECTORS, THE PARKS SHOW UP AND DISTRIBUTED 22 TREES AND WADE AND CART SHOW SHOWED UP WITH PICKUP TRUCK AND A FLATBED TRAILER FULL OF BEAUTIFUL PLANTS THAT THEIR SUPPORTERS GAVE AND THEY BOUGHT AT LOWE AND BROUGHT UGOUT TO GIVE TO HOME OWNERS, IT WAS A REALLY NEAT DEAL. 
          KEEP VICTORIA BEAUTIFUL, WE'VE BROUGHT THEM IN EVERY MONTH AND DONE THE BEAUTIFY INDICATION AWARDS. THERE IS A LIST OF OUR AWARD WINNERS SINCE LAST JUNE. 
          THIS IS IMPORTANT. HERE IS OUR PARTNERS IN SUCCESS. ALL OF THESE COMPANIES, ALL OF THESE OTHER DEPARTMENTS, CITY DEPARTMENTS, PLANNING, FIRE, THEY HAVE ALL SHOWED UP IN FORCE AT EVERY ONE OF OUR CLEANUPS TO HELP OUT. THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THAT WE JUST DO OURSELVES THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS TAKEN ON A WHOLE LIFE OF ITS OWN. 
          AND CHRISTY YOUNGER IS A BIG -- YOUKER IS A BIG PART OF. THAT CONGRATULATIONS TO ME FOR HIRING HER. BUT SHE IS, SHE IS -- I GOT TO GET CREDIT SOMEWHERE, MIKE. 
          [02:00:04]
I'M GIVING EVERYBODY CREDIT BUT ME. SHE IS A HUGE PART OF THE SUCCESS OF KEEP VICTORIA BEAUTIFUL. AND THESE CLEANUPS. 
          IT IS A LOT OF HER TIME. I DON'T MIND PICKING UP THE SLACK WHEN SHE'S DOING THIS, BUT IT HAS BEEN HUGELY SUCCESSFUL, THIS LIST GROWS, I BELIEVE WE'RE PUSHING 200 FOR THIS WEEKEND. 
          YOU'RE PUSHING 200 PEOPLE ALREADY VOLUNTEERED, SIGNED UP AHEAD OF TIME WHICH NOBODY DOES IN THIS TOWN FOR ANYTHING FOR A CLEANUP THIS WEEKEND. THAT IS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE. 
          SOME OF THE GRANTS THAT WE'VE DONE, THESE GRANTS ARE DONE JUST THROUGH MY DEPARTMENT AND SO THEY TOLD AAH ABOUT 25,500, GIVE OR TAKE. WE REDID MAIN STREET. 
          I'M SORRY, WE REDID 1700 MAIN, PARKING LOT, THAT WAS SO DEVASTATED AFTER THE FREEZE. 
          THE BUTTERFLY GARDEN AT THE ZOO, WE'VE GOT SOME GRANTS THAT WE'LL BE HANDING OUT AS PART OF KVB TO LOCAL BUSINESSES THAT APPLY AND A IMAGING GRANT FOR THEM TO BUTE TIIFY THEIR PROPERTIES AND OTHER THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE WITH THOSE GRANTS. AND SO THAT HAS BEEN A REAL KIND OF KICK TO HELP THINGS GET GOING ON THE BEAUTIFY INDICATION SIDE. THE GREEN RIVER PROJECT, YOU'VE SEEN THE WORK GOING OUT AT THE LOOP. IT IS GOING ON. 
          WE'VE GOT ALL THE BEDS ARE POURED. THE CONTRACT WAS AWARDED DECEMBER, AND EXPECTED TO BE DONE BY MAY. GIVE OR TAKE, WE'RE HAVING SOME TROUBLE WITH THE LITTLE BIT OF GETTING THE BROCK AND THINGS LIKE, THAT JUST SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING, BUT THERE IS ALMOST 400 TREES, OVER 200 ARE IN THE GROUND ALREADY. THE FLOWER BEDS ARE ALREADY POURED. 
          YOU CAN SEE THERE, AND SO WE'LL BE WORKING, ONCE THAT IS DONE, IT WILL BE A HUGE IMPROVEMENT TOO, WE TALK ABOUT TRANSFORMATIONAL. THAT IS REALLY GOING BE A TRANSFORMATIONAL PROJECT FOR THAT AREA. I'VE ALSO MADE CLEAR WE PLAN TO LOOK AT THE AREA BUSINESS 59 AND THE LOOP. SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO WORK THAT THROUGH. SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE DID ON COMMUNITY APPEARANCE, SALEM ROAD BED. THE RAVEN GREEN SCAPE. WE'VE REALLY GONE BACK AND DONE SOME OTHER WORK THERE. WE BUILT A LITTLE KINDS OF SEATING AREA THERE. 
          WE WORKED WITH A GROUP TO REBUILD THE POND BEHIND THE HILLER HOUSE. 
          WE PUT A BED ON SAM HOUSTON. WE GOT THE 463 BEDS TO BACK UP AND READY FOR SUMMER AND THEN SYNC AND WE GOT THAT BED AND GOT IT READY TO GO. WE DID THE WASTE MANAGEMENT CONTRACT LAST YEAR. IT WAS AWARD ON JULY 6TH, A SEVEN% REDUCTION FOR MOST ALL OF OUR COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS. THEY DONATE PORT-O-POTTIES TO 9 EVENTS A YEAR. 
          SO THERE WAS BUILT IN BOOTFEST DONATION. I'VE WORKED WITH THEM TO BRING IN MAIN STREET THINGS TO TAKE ITS PLACE UNTIL WE GET TO THE BICENTENNIAL. 
          AND THEN THEY DONATED FOR THE CITY FIREWORKS AND $1,000 A YEAR FOR KEEP VICTORIA BEAUTIFUL. 
          THIS IS THE EXCITING ONE. THIS IS HUGE FOR OUR CITY. FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS, GILBERT AND MYSELF HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH OUR -- I'M SORRY, BERNS AND MCDONALD ON OUR LAND FILL EXPANSION PROJECT TO EXPAND OUR LANDS FILL BY 240-ACRES AND APPROXIMATELY 95 YEARS OF LANDFILL LIFE. I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO ENCOMPASS HOW THAT SETS UP THE CITY OF VICTORIA GOING INTO THE FUTURE. THEY'RE VERY FEW LANDFILLS THAT HAVE ANYWHERE NEAR THIS LANDFILL LIFE, I WAS TALK FOG THE CITY OF ARLINGTON, THEY HAVE 25 YEARS LEFT AND THEY REALLY KANG EXPAND. THEY'RE COVERED UP BY NEIGHBORHOODS. SO THIS IS A HUGE THING FOR US. WHY DID IT TAKE THREE YEARS? I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THESE. BUT I WILL TELL YOU, IT WAS THREE YEARS OF WORK WITH A LOT OF DIFFERENT GOVERNMENT ENTITIES, ORGANIZATIONS, WE HAD 
          [02:05:02]
TO DO EVERYTHING FROM WORKING WITH TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE WORKING ON HYDRAULICS AND HIGH CONTROL, PART OF THE AREA WAS IN THE FLOOD ZONE, WE HAD TO WORK ON WITH THE U.S. CORPS OF ENGINEERS TO GET JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION ON DITCHES AND ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT WE WANTED TO MOVE SO IT DIDN'T IMPACT THE WAY WE COULD BUILD THE LANDFILL. WE HAD TO DEVELOP MASTER PLANS, WE HAD TO WORK WITH FEMA. WE MULTIPLE REVIEW WITH TCQ AND OUR LAND FILL PERMIT WAS SENT IN LAST WEEK WE'RE NOW IN THE HANDS OF TCQ. THE PERMITS HAVE BEEN FILLED OUT AND CAN TAKE UP TO 12 TO 14 MONTHS TO GET THIS REVIEWED AND DONE. 
          LETS HAVE BEEN SENT OUT TO EVERYONE WHO WOULD HAVE STANDING WITH TCQ TO. 
          NONE OF THOSE LETTERS HAVE I JUST WANT TO WARN COUNCIL THAT AT SOME TIME OR ANOTHER SOMEONE COULD CHANGE THEIR MIND. A BIG REVENUEMAKE OR FOR THE CITY GOING FORWARD AND WE'RE NOT GOING HAVE TO TRAVEL AND TAKE OUR CUSTOMERS TRASH 100+ MILES PLAY FOR THAT FUEL, PAY THE TIPPING FEE AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO KEEP OUR RATES IN AN AFFORDABLE COST, WELL INTO THE FUTURE. 
          >> WE BUILT A NEW SALE THIS YEAR IN LAST YEAR OF APRIL 20. THAT IS MIKE AND I STANDING IN 
          IT WHEN IT WAS EMPTY. >> THAT IS MIKE AND I STANDING IN IT WHEN IT WAS FULL BUT WE'RE AVERAGING ABOUT 700 TONS A DAY UP FROM 500 TONS PRIOR THE THE HURRICANE HARVEY. 
          WE DROPPED BACK DOWN TO AROUND 600, NOW WE'RE WACK UP TO 700, SO WE'RE DOING WELL OUT THERE. 
          AND WE'RE FILLING SPACE FASTER THAN WE TAUGHT WE WOULD. >> HERE IS A FEW METRICS FROM SOLID WASTE. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO TALK ABOUT KIND OF WHERE WE'RE AT WITH TONNAGES, BECAUSE IT CHANGED SO MUCH. IT CHANGED SO MUCH DURING COVEID. RESTAURANTS CLOSE, BUSINESSES CLOSE, CHILDREN OUT OF SCHOOL, PEOPLE AT HOME FROM WORK, WE PICKED UP THE BULK OF THE WASTE AND MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN OUR FEES WHAT WE'RE STARTING TO SEE OR WHAT WE HAVE SEEN IS THAT IS STARTING TO COME DOWN, THE NEW NORMAL IS NOT THE OLD NORMAL BECAUSE THERE IS STILL A LOT OF PEOPLE AT HOME NOT GOING BACK TO WORK. AND THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE AT HOME WHO ARE NOT VENTURING OUT TO RESTAURANTS AND OTHER THINGS. AND SO WE -- I DON'T THINK WE'LL GET BACK TO OUR PRECOVID NUMBERS I THINK THAT WE'LL STAY THE NEW NORMAL WILL BE HIGHER. WE HAVE SEEN IT COME DOWN FROM WHAT I WAS DURING COVID, ACROSS ALL LINES OF BUSINESS. AND IF WE HAVE A DROUGHT THEN YARD EXPWAIS BRUSH WILL COME DOWN PRETTY QUICKLY TOO. LAST, SEEDS FOR THE FUTURE, WHAT HAVE WE GOT PLANNED FOR NEXT YEAR? WE HOPE TO GET OUR LANDFILL PROJECT APPROVED. WE'RE WORKING ON, I'VE BEEN WORKING WORKING WITH MS. LACEY OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS WITH AN AGREEMENT WITH TIMES RAMPY TO PUT A NEW ENTRYWAY SIGN CORNER OF THE PROPERTY TO PUT IT ON THERE WE'RE WORKING ON THAT, WE'RE WORKING ON ART PROJECT THAT WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE UNDERPASS PROJECT WITH MARRIAGE ARTWORK DONE ON BOTH. THE RFP HAS BEEN DONE AND WE'RE WORKING ON FINDING ARTISTS TO DO 
          [02:10:07]
THAT NOW. WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT A WATERFALL PROJECT POSSIBLY AS PART OF THE BUDGET TO PUT AT THAT ENTRANCE AT MAIN AND VINE INTO RIVERSIDE PARK. 
          IF IT PASSES THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING REALLY UNIQUE AS AN ENTRYWAY INTO THE PARK AND INTO DOWNTOWN COMING DOWN TO MAIN STREET. KEEP VICTORIA BEAUTIFUL, THANK YOU MR. MAYOR, WE WERE NOTICE TODAY WE HAVE RECEIVED GOLD STATUS WHICH IS UNHEARD OF IN A TWO-YEAR PROGRAM WITH KEEP TEXAS BEAUTIFUL SO THAT IS A HUGE HONOR WHICH OPENS UP A WHOLE NEW WING DOE OF GRANTS THAT WE ARE AVAILABLE TO GET THROUGH THEM ALSO, WE HAVE OUR COMMUNITY APPEARANCE DEMONSTRATION GARDEN, THAT WAS IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET, WE'RE WORKING ON THAT, THAT WILL BE LOCATED BEHIND THE HILLER HOUSE, AND THEN WE HAVE A HILLER HOUSE FOUNTAIN AND BENCH PROJECT WE'RE WORKING ON. THAT WILL BE MOSTLY DONATED MONEY. 
          WE'RE WORKING ON A PROGRAM TO SEEK DONATIONS FOR THAT AS WELL AS GRANTS AND WILL FUNDED THE REST OF THE WAY BY THE CITY. WITH THAT I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. 
          >> YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB. >> THANK YOU. >> EXCELLENT JOB. 
          >> YOU DID VERY WELL ON TIME, BY THE WAY. >> I'VE BEEN THREATENED BY 
          EVERYONE AROUND ME. >> I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF THINGS FOR YOU. 
          >> HIGHWAY 87 AS YOU'RE COMING FROM PORT LAVACA, WE DON'T HAVE AN ENTRY SIGN THERE. 
          >> CORRECT. >> IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET ONE OR PLAN FOR ONE IN THE FUTURE? 
          >> YES, SIR. >> OKLAHOMA, AWESOME. >> WE ALL KNOW HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE THE BEAUTIFY INDICATION. BUT I GOT A TEXT JUST THISLACK WEEK THAT I THOUGHT WAS APPROPRIATE TO READ HERE TONIGHT. 
          IT IS FROM A CITIZEN HERE IN TOWN AND WE DON'T ALWAYS GET COMPLIMENTS SO THIS IS VERY, VERY NICE. I HAVE TO TELL YOU JUST HOW BEAUTIFUL I THINK ALL OF THE LITTLE GARDENS ARE, NOT ONLY AROUND THE LOOP, BUT ALL OVER TOWN AS WELL. 
          BUT FOR IF INVESTMENT IN THE BEAUTY OF OUR CITY, PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO THOSE WHO DID THE HARD WORK ON THESE LITTLE GEMS THAT IS YOUR DEPARTMENT. YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB LEADING THEM. WE'RE VERY BLESSED TO HAVE YOU IN THE POSITION. 
          IF LANDFILL IS HUMONGOUS. WHAT A PIECE OF -- PEACE OF MIND FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS SO MAYBE 
          WE CAN PUT YOUR NAME ON IT OR SOMETHING. >> STRIVE TO BE NAMED AFTER A LANDFILL. IT IS NOT A MEMORIAL. AND THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, BUT MR. GARZA HAD THE IDEA TO START THE COMMUNITY APPEARANCE. 
          AND YOU KNOW, THAT HAS BEEN A BIG THING. AND IT KIND OF ENDED UP IN MY WHEELHOUSE BECAUSE IT IS SOMETHING I LIKE TO DO ON MY SPECIAL TIME. 
          IT HAS BEEN -- THAT PART OF IT HAS REALLY BEEN ENJOYABLE. THE LANDFILL THINGS I WILL TELL YOU HAS BEEN A HEADACHE. IT IS A 3 AND A HALF-YEAR HEADACHE. 
          BUT I AM SEEING THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL AND THE HEADACHE IS ALMOST GONE. 
          REQUEST AND ALSO THE COMMUNITY CLEANUP EFFORT, IF IT ANYBODY LISTENING HASN'T ATTENDED, PLEASE GO TO IT. YOU'LL SEE A SENSE OF COMMUNITY PRIDE THAT WILL MAKE YOU PROUD TO LIVE IN VICTORIA. ALWAYS MAKES ME PROUD TO BE MAYOR WHENEVER I GO TO ONE OF THOSE EVENTS, THERE IS SO MUCH CARING FOR CITIZENS TO HELP NEIGHBORS. 
          THE ONE THIS WEEKEND, APRIL 23RD WHICH IS SATURDAY, 7:30A.M., TARGET PART 
          THE MEETING POINT. >> IF YOU WOULD GO ON-LINE FIRST TO REGISTER, BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING TO PRE-SET TEEM TEAM, NOT EVERYONE WILL BE THERE, BUT IF YOU SHOW UP THERE WE WILL USE
