[4. Citizen Communication:]

WELCOME, MR. MOSES. >> THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE BUT I WILL TRY ONE MORE TIME.

THE CITY COUNCIL DIRECTLY APPOINTS AND CAN REMOVE THE CITY MANAGER. I VOTE TO TERMINATE HIS POSITION. CITY COUNCIL HAS AUTHORITY TO TERMINATE BOTH THE POLICE CHIEF AND CITY MANAGER AS THEY ARE HIRED AND FIRED BY THE COUNCIL. THEY HAVE THE SOLE AUTHORITY TO HIRE AND FIRE BOTH, THE CHIEF REPORTS TO THE CITY OFFICIALS AND THE MAYOR CAN INDIRECTLY FIRE A POLICE OFFICER. BACK IN 2000 EXCUSE ME 21. OF US ARE SWANSON AND OFFICER HAVE BEEN SUED BY A CITIZEN FOR INFLATION OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS.

THEIR ACTIONS WERE RECKLESS AND INTENTIONAL AND CAUSED EMOTIONAL INJURY AND THE CAUSED EMOTIONAL DISTRESS. FIVE COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED AGAINST SERGEANT SWANSON AND LIEUTENANT OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS DOING NOTHING AND I WAS LIED TO.

NOW

[00:20:02]

I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE BUT I WISH YOU HAD ENOUGH EMPATHY TO KNOW IF THIS HAPPENED TO YOU HOW YOU WOULD HANDLE IT INSTEAD OF JUST SITTING THERE. A LOT OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS FOR ME , WE WOULD'VE BEEN MARRIED 19 YEARS NOW BUT THE LAST FOUR HAVE BEEN

FOR ME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU MR. MOSES AND THE SECOND CARD I HAVE IS FROM

ON ME. >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL I AM PARKS AND RECREATION FOR COMING TO QUEEN CITY PARK SUNDAY MORNING BECAUSE SOMEONE TRASHED THE WHOLE QUEEN CITY PARK LAST WEEKEND AND QUEEN CITY PARK AND CHRIST KITCHEN AND I KNOW CODE ENFORCEMENT CAME MONDAY CHECKING INTO IT. I WAS THE POLICE COULD MAKE MORE ROUNDS AT QUEEN CITY PARK AND CHRIST KITCHEN BECAUSE THERE'S 12 LOOSE DOGS , BIG DOGS WITH NO LEASH , NO RABIES SHOTS AND THEY CONTINUE TO BE THERE AND SO FAR NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY WON'T ENFORCE THE LAWS AT QUEEN CITY PARK AND CHRIST KITCHEN AND WHY THE DOGS ARE ALLOWED TO ROAM FREE AND DOG OWNERS HAVE NO REPERCUSSION.

THERE SITTING THERE AND NO ONE IS DOING NOTHING. IF SOMEONE GOT IT THEY SHOULD CATCH RABIES AND STUFF BUT NO ONE IS HELPING.

ALSO WANTED TO THANK THE LEGAL TEAM BECAUSE OF THEM TAKING THE TRAILER PARK OWNER TO THE COURT , THE TRAILER PARK IS BEING CONCRETE, THE WHOLE PARK AND I WANT TO THANK PAVING AND THEY ARE DOING IT RIGHT THIS TIME. BY THE CODE AND I APPRECIATE IT BECAUSE WITHOUT THE COUNCIL AND CODE ENFORCEMENT AND PUBLIC WORKS I THINK THE TRAILER PARK OWNER WOULD'VE TURNED A BLIND EYE AND IT IS HARD FOR HIM WHEN HE ONLY HAS 80 MILLION IN INVESTMENTS AND 17 TRAILER PARKS. HE PROBABLY HAS TO SAVE SOME MONEY TO BUY SOME MORE TRAILER PARKS. MAYBE CAN BE A BILLIONAIRE LIKE THE OTHER TRAILER PARK OWNERS. ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME LIGHTING PUT UP AT THE TRAILER PARK.

THERE IS NO LIGHTING HARDLY OTHER THAN AT THE VERY END. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON YEARS AND YEARS. ON TRAILER 29 AND NEEDS TO BE DILAPIDATED AND ALSO THERE IS VANDALISM AND THE POLICE DOCUMENTED THERE'S A BIG ON THE GARAGE AND STUFF AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE LIBERTY REAL ESTATE PARTNERS TAKE CARE OF IT BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONES THAT MANAGE IT AND I WOULD LIKE FOR THEM TO TELL THE TRAILER PARK OWNER THAT THERE WAS A SWAT TEAM RATE AND

THIS PROJECT WILL BE FROM RED RIVER ALL THE WAY TO MOCKINGBIRD STREET, FROM RED RIVER TO MCKNIGHT OR MAGNOLIA STREET DEPENDING ON WHICH SIDE OF THE STREET YOU'RE LOOKING AT.

REHABILITATION WITH OVERLAY OF HOT MIX ASPHALT, TO THE NORTH TO MOCKINGBIRD WE WILL DO A FULL DEPTH RECONSTRUCTION OF THE PAVEMENT. THE PORTION OF VINE STREET SOUTH IS IN MUCH BETTER SHAPE THAN THE PORTION TO THE NORTH. I HAVE HEARD COMMENTS FROM RESIDENTS ABOUT THE ROLLER COASTER AFFECT TO THE NORTH, SO WE WILL ADDRESS THAT. OUR FULL DEPTH RECONSTRUCTION WILL BE EXCAVATION OF EXISTING BASE MATERIAL TO THE SUBGRADE, STABILIZATION OF THAT SUBGRADE, APPLICATION OF A GEO GRID, LIMESTONE BASE PRIME COAT AND CEILING CODE AND HOT MIX OVERLAY. ALREADY DESCRIBED WE WILL DO THE INCH AND HAVE HOT MIX TO THE SOUTH AND RIGHT TO RED RIVER. THE , WE RECEIVED THREE BIDS FOR THE PROJECT FROM CK NEWBERRY OF CORN CITY, LEICESTER CONSTRUCTION OF TEXAS HERE IN VICTORIA, THE LOW BIDDER WAS CK NEWBERRY AND I WOULD ASK COUNCIL TO AWARD THE CONTRACT TO THEM.

>> ANY QUESTIONS ON THE PROJECT? >> WHAT ARE THE PROJECTS HAS CK

NEWBERRY DONE IN TOWN? >> APPARENTLY CK NEWBERRY IS IN THE CONTRACT FOR THE 2025 OVERLAY PROJECT.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION ALSO. THE RECONSTRUCTION PART, WHAT'S THE TIMEFRAME ON GETTING THAT STARTED AND FINISHED?

>> I CANNOT ANSWER THAT RIGHT NOW. I WILL HAVE TO VISIT WITH THE CONTRACTOR IN THAT REGARD WHEN THEY PLAN ON STARTING AND THEN WITH THE TIMEFRAME IS TO COMPLETE THE WORK

>> WHILE THE CONSTRUCTION IS GOING ON , IT'S GOING TO THERE'

[00:30:03]

>> WE HAVE NOT DISCUSSED THAT WITH THEM, THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO WORK ONE HALF OF THE STREET AND LEAVE ONE-WAY TRAFFIC . AT A MINIMUM THAT WILL ONLY DO SECTIONS OF THE STREET AT THE TIME AS THEY EXCAVATE, COMPAQ, BRING IN THE BASE SO THAT WAY TRAFFIC AND MOVE ACROSS THE ROAD AS THEY MOVED TO ANOTHER SECTION. BUT I WILL TALK TO THEM ABOUT LEAVING ONE LANE OF

TRAFFIC IN ONE DIRECTION. >> YES, THANK YOU.

>> I THINK THE BID FROM CK NEWBERRY CONTEMPLATED COMPLETION WITHIN 90 DAYS AFTER START. I GUESS THE QUESTION IS WHEN WILL THEY GET STARTING ON THE PROJECT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU , DO I HAVE ANY MOTIONS WITH RESPECT TO ITEM

E 1. >> I MOVED TO APPROVE .

>> SECOND. >> MOTION AND SECOND ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED? E 1 PASSES AND YES LONG OVERDUE, GLAD TO SEE IT HAPPEN. THANK YOU

[2. Approve a resolution terminating the agreement to purchase furniture f...]

>> APPROVE A RESOLUTION TERMINATING THE AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE FURNITURE FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY HEADQUARTERS FROM SPENCER AND COMPANY IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $799,742.

>> WELCOME MR. FARRELL YOU'RE NOT DONE YET I CAN SEE.

>> I WILL GIVE YOU ONE PRESENTATION FOR THE NEXT TWO ITEMS, THIS ONE AND THE FOLLOWING. GETTING BETTER AT THIS. ONLY TOOK FIVE AND HALF YEARS. QUICKLY, IN MAY YOU APPROVED A FURNITURE ALLOCATION FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY HEADQUARTERS, THAT FURNITURE ALLOCATION IS DIVIDED INTO THREE PARTS, FIRST IS GENERAL FURNITURE, DESKS, TABLES, CHAIRS AND ALL THE THINGS THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING, SECOND IS DISPATCH CONSULS , SPECIFIC DESKS DESIGNED TO HOLD MULTIPLE MONITORS , KEYS, MICROPHONES, ALL THE THINGS DISPATCH YEARS THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND DISPATCH SEATING GIVEN THE DURATION OF TIME THEY HAVE TO SIT AND REMAIN IN ONE PLACE , THEY TEND TO GET SPECIALIZED OFFICE CHAIRS THAT PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT BETTER SUPPORT, A LITTLE BETTER SEATING SUPPORT AND OTHER FEATURES THAT MAKE THEIR JOBS BEARABLE. SURROUNDSOUND. MASSAGING.

HEATED. ALL THE THINGS. NO, THEY'RE JUST REALLY GOOD OFFICE CHAIRS. SO WHAT THE ALLOCATION LOOKED LIKE WAS $799,742 TO SPENCER AND COMPANY OUT OF DALLAS. THAT DIVIDES WHEN WE BID THE PROJECT BID PACKAGE ONE THROUGH FOUR ARE THE ITEMS THAT ARE ESSENTIAL TO WORK IN THE PUBLIC SAFETY HEADQUARTERS.

DESK, CONFERENCE TABLES, LOBBY SEATING ALL OF THOSE THINGS.

ALTERNATES 1 TO 12 ARE THE NICE TO HAVE AND THEY WERE AFFORDABLE WITHIN OUR PROJECT BUDGET. AND THEN THE DISPATCH CONSOLE PRICES WITH THE SYSTEMS BID AND YOU JUST APPROVED THAT RESOLUTION THROUGH YOUR CONSENT AGENDA AND I WILL EXPLAIN THAT IN A MOMENT BUT THAT IS THROUGH PURCHASING COOPERATIVE SAME WITH CONCEPTS SEATING BUT THE PRICE FOR THAT IS UNDERNEATH THE AUTHORIZATION LEVEL NEEDED FOR JESUS OR I TO BE ABLE TO SIGN IT. WHEN I PUT THIS TO YOU MAY SIX I INCORRECTLY UNDERSTOOD SPENCER AND COMPANY TO BE THE BROKER FOR THE XYBIX AND CONCEPTS SEATING PURCHASE SO WE PULLED OUT SEPARATELY FROM THE BID AS XYBIX IS THEIR OWN PURCHASE, THEY WILL DO THEIR OWN INVOICE AND EVERYTHING ELSE. THEY MATCH THE EXISTING DESK, IN DISPATCH THERE WILL BE 10 CONSULS, FIVE WILL BE NEW AND FIVE WILL BE THE EXISTING CONSULS SO THESE WILL MATCH AND HAVE THE SAME FEATURES AND SAME PLUG-AND-PLAY TECHNOLOGY. RIGHT? THE CONSULS AND PURCHASE OF THE NEW CONSULS IS GOING TO BE REIMBURSED BY THE GOLDEN CRESCENT REGIONAL PLANNING ALONG WITH MUCH OF THE DISPATCH, THE GENERATOR AND WIRING , ALL THE EQUIPMENT NEEDED TO MAINTAIN SERVICES IN THAT FACILITY. SO IT'S PURCHASE SEPARATE AND APART FROM SPENCER. SO REALLY REALLY LOOK AT 662 460 TOTAL. WHEN WE EVALUATED THE PACKAGES WE ONLY EVALUATED BASED ON BID PACKAGES ONE THROUGH FOUR , THOSE WERE THE ONLY ITEMS WE SCORED IN COMPARISON BECAUSE ALTERNATES WITH A NICE TO HAVE , NOW ON MAY 30, THEY REALIZED, SPENCER AND COMPANY REALIZED AN

[00:35:08]

THEY ARE AWARE, THEY SIMPLY CANNOT GO BACK WITHOUT LOSING MONEY IT'S JUST A BUSINESS DECISION FOR THEM. NEXT WE WILL ASK YOU ALLOW OR AUTHORIZE US TO PURSUE AGREEMENT WITH BLUE BOX LLC A COMPANY OUT OF MCKINNEY, TEXAS. NOW THE BID PRICES WERE LOCKED 120 DAYS. THAT EXPIRED JUNE 13, BUT IN PUTTING THIS TOGETHER BLUE BOX HAS AGREED TO HONOR THE ORIGINAL BID BEYOND THE 120 DAYS SO THE RESOLUTION WILL ASK YOU TO AUTHORIZE FOR THE ORIGINAL BID PRICE. AND THEN THE SEPARATE RESOLUTIONS ARE AUTHORIZATION FOR THE DISPATCH ITEMS SEPARATED OUT WHICH ONE WAS CONSENT ITEM THE OTHER AUTHORIZATION SO WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE IN A RESOLVED SOLUTION IS SEPARATING THE DISPATCH ITEMS, BLUE BOX COMES TO TOTAL OF 715, 343 WITH ORIGINAL 679, 983 ON THEIR BID PACKAGES AND THEY BID A FEW ALTERNATES, NOT ALL AT 35,003 60 AND THE OTHERS CAN NEGOTIATE OR WORK THROUGH SEPARATELY. SO I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS YOU HAVE FOR ME BUT ONE OTHER THING I WOULD LIKE TO DO PRIOR TO THE NEXT ITEM IS BLUE BOX HAS MADE THE TRIP IN FROM AUSTIN TODAY TO BE HERE AND AFTER I HAVE ANSWERED YOUR QUESTIONS I WOULD LIKE TO GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO TELL YOU SOME THINGS. HE TOLD ME I DID NOT KNOW UNTIL TODAY ABOUT WHY THE PROJECT IS IMPORTANT TO HIM AND HIS COMPANY. WHAT QUESTIONS CAN ANSWER FOR YOU?

>> ONE OF US WILL JUMP IN. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS WAS ENTIRELY CLEAR. THE REASON STAFF REACHED OUT TO LOU BOX TO SEE IF THEY WOULD HONOR THE ORIGINAL BID IS THEY WERE THE SECOND LOWEST WHEN ORIGINALLY SCORED SO THAT'S THE REASON WE WENT BACK TO THAT COMPANY WHEN WE DISCOVERED THE ISSUE WITH THE PRICE FOR SPENCER

AND COMPANY. >> APPLES TO APPLES THEY

WOULD'VE BEEN THE LOWEST. >> CORRECT, THE KEY PHRASE IS NEXT LOWEST RESPONSIVE DID.

THAT'S THE PHRASE. >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. FERRELL

? >> GIVE ME A SECOND AND I WILL INVITE

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. AS DISCUSSED MY COMPANY SPECIALIZES IN PUBLIC SAFETY WORK AND MY GRANDFATHER FROM HIS TIME AT THE CITY OF MCKINNEY RECOGNIZED A UNIQUE LAST NAME AND THERE'S A SOCCER COMPLEX NAMED AFTER MY GRANDFATHER WHO WAS THE CITY , THE MAYOR IN THE LATE 70S, BUT WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO MY COMPANY AND ME IS MY FAMILY IS FROM VICTORIA, TEXAS. WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY CAME UP WE WERE BOTH EXCITED IN SUPPORTING THE ORIGINAL PROJECT AND MY GRANDFATHER SO THAT'S WHY IT IS DEAR TO ME AND WE ARE COMMITTED TO HONORING OUR PRICE AND DELIVERING A GREAT PRODUCT FOR YOU GUYS.

>> GREAT, LOOK FORWARD, THANK YOU FOR COMING DOWN WE APPRECIATE IT. NOTHING LIKE COINCIDENCE. THE LOW BID IS THE LOW BID. VERY GOOD, THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU SO MUCH, APPRECIATE IT. IF THERE'S NOT A QUESTIONS THEN ON THIS ITEM WE WILL TAKE UP FIRST ITEM E 2 WHICH IS RESOLUTION TERMINATING THE AGREEMENT WITH SPENCER AND COMPANY. TO HAVE A

MOTION WITH RESPECT TO THE ITEM? >> MOVE THAT WE ADOPT.

[00:40:05]

>> MOTION AND SECOND ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY

RESIDENTIAL STREET PROJECT ARE GOING TO POSTPONE COMMERCIAL STREET TO FISCAL YEAR 28 WITH A 16 INCH WATER LINE WE HAVE IN OUR PLANS TO REPLACE FISCAL YEAR 27 AND COMMERCIAL STREET AND THAT WILL BE DONE BEFORE WE BUILD THE STREET AND WE DON'T WANT TO COME BACK AND TEAR IT UP AFTER WE DO THAT. WE WILL POSTPONE THE BENCHMARK ALLEYWAY CONSTRUCTION WITH FUNDS ALLOCATED FOR THAT WE WILL UTILIZE THEM FOR THE CITY OF VICTORIA PORTION FOR THE NORTH SIDE ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.

THIS IS A CITY COUNTY PROJECT. WE WOULD ALSO USE SOME OF THE FUNDS FOR THE PINE STREET VICTORIA HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION PROJECT. WE ALSO PLAN TO ADD TONTO CIRCLE AND RAMONA LANE AS A RECLAIMED PROJECTS. BONAIRE STREET RECONSTRUCTION AS I SAID EARLIER COMBINING PHASE 1 AND TWO INTO ONE PROJECT. WE ANTICIPATE GETTING THAT OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR. SYCAMORE AND WILLOW STREET WATER LINE REPLACEMENT WE PLAN ON POSTPONING THIS ENGINEERING DESIGNED TO FISCAL YEAR 26 . IT WAS ORIGINALLY SAID TO DESIGN FISCAL YEAR 25. ALSO POSTPONE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECT FISCAL YEAR 28. AIRLINE ROAD SANITARY SEWER ABANDONMENT WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE CONSTRUCTION OF THAT PROJECT TO FISCAL YEAR 28. ALSO WE PLAN ON ADDING IN ENGINEERING DESIGN PROJECT FOR MARTIN LUTHER KING PARK MOVEMENTS. AGAIN, REMOVING THE LONETREE AKERS STREET DRAINAGE PROJECT, THE WATER PROJECTS AND WASTEWATER PROJECT ALL THOSE BEING CD E.G. PROJECTS AND WHERE ADDING COMMUNITY CENTER EXPANSION. THIS MAP SHOWS YOU THE PROJECTS WE WILL BE INCLUDING IN OUR UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR 26 THAT WE ARE RECOMMENDING TO YOU TO ADOPT , AGAIN TERRA VISTA, SAM HOUSTON HEIGHTS, THE BONAIRE SUBDIVISION. LONETREE AKERS, POWER AVENUE, CHURCH STREET, BOTTOM STREET, BRIDGE STREET AND LIBERTY STREET.

>> ONE OF THE COMMON QUESTIONS WE GET FROM THIS LIST OF STREETS AND ONE OF YOU ASKED THE QUESTION LAST TIME WE SHARED IT WAS TERRA VISTA REALLY ISN'T THAT A NEW SUBDIVISION? WELL THAT'S 15 YEARS AGO. THAT SUBDIVISION STARTED DEVELOPING SO AS PART OF ONGOING MAINTENANCE IT IS TIME AND APPROPRIATE TO DO THE SEAL COAT ON THE STREETS TO EXTEND THEIR

[00:55:03]

MIGHT THINK. >> I HAVE A QUESTION. A COUPLE OF THE STREETS ARE VERY SMALL ESPECIALLY POWER AVENUE AVENUE C INTO AVENUE D AND I GUESS BRIDGE STREET CONVENT TO WATER. WHAT CAUSED US, THAT'S NOT THE WAY WE HAVE BEEN DOING STREETS SO

WHAT CAUSED US TO PICK THOSE? >> AVENUE C TO AVENUE D WOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS YEAR'S RESIDENTIAL STREET PROJECT THAT FOR TWO REASONS WE NEED TO PULL IT OUT AND POSTPONE TO NEXT YEAR ONE IS AVENUE D SANITARY SEWER REHABILITATION PROJECT THAT I TALKED ABOUT EARLIER AND ALSO FROM AVENUE D TO AVENUE C THE SEWER LINE WE ARE REHABILITATING TO THE PIPE BURST, PIPE BURSTING REQUIRES US TO EXCAVATE DOWN TO THE SANITARY SEWER MAIN OUTSIDE OF THE MANHOLES. FALLING OUT INTO THE STREET SO IF WE WERE TO REPAIR THE STREET THIS YEAR WE WOULD BE TAKING IT UP NEXT YEAR SO IF WE CAN POSTPONE NETWORK UNTIL AFTER THE UTILITY WORK IS COMPLETE WE WILL NOT HAVE THE PATCHWORK IN THERE. ALSO THE RECENT RAIN HAS SHOWN US THERE ARE DRAINAGE ISSUES ON THAT PARTICULAR BLOCK OR STREET AND WE WILL NEED TO GIVE SOME THOUGHT AS TO WHAT WE CAN DO TO REMEDY THAT BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THERE'S NO DITCHES, THE WATER KIND OF STACKS UP, GOES TO THE ROAD AND GOES AROUND THE DRIVEWAY. IF WE DON'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE DRAINAGE I DON'T CARE WHAT WE DO TO FIX THE STREET IT WILL NOT LAST WITH WATER DOING THAT.

>> I THINK IN THAT SPECIFIC EXAMPLE, HE IS SUGGESTING THE PROJECT WOULD'VE BEEN PART OF A LARGER PROJECT THIS YEAR BUT WE ARE DELAYING THE SMALL SECTION. WHAT YOU'RE GETTING AT AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG IS A RECENTLY RE-LOOKING AT HOW WE CHOOSE AND REASSESS OR ASSESS WHICH STREETS RIGHT , WE ARE

WORKING ON. >> IF WE ARE IN THE AREA NOW I'M NOT REMEMBERING THAT A PROJECT GOING ON NOW OR THAT HAS

GONE ON RECENTLY. >> YEAH, THE REST OF THAT IS PART OF THIS YEAR'S RESIDENTIAL STREET PROGRAMS.

>> THEN ABSOLUTELY WE DON'T WANT TO FIX SOMETHING AND DIG IT

BACK UP I AGREE. >> I WILL SAY HOLISTICALLY SPEAKING EVEN GOING BACK SEVERAL YEARS WE HAVE TRIED TO LOOK AT IT A LITTLE BIT MORE UTILIZING DATA AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHICH STREETS NEED WORK , RIGHT? FOR A WHILE YOU'RE RIGHT THE RESIDENTIAL STREET PROGRAM WAS KIND OF JUST FOCUSED ON REDOING NEIGHBORHOODS AND DIGGING THEM ALL AT ONCE, BUT YOU MAY RECALL SIX YEARS AGO OR SO WHEN WE HIRED THE COMPANY TO DO AN ASSESSMENT IT BASICALLY GIVE US A LIST OF STREETS BY BLOCK THAT WERE IN BAD SHAPE THAT WERE IN SHAPE THEY COULD BE SALVAGED TO EXTEND THEIR LIFE SO I DO THINK OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS AND PLAN TO CONTINUE TO DO THIS UNLESS WE RECEIVE DIFFERENT DIRECTION IS TO LOOK AT ACCOMMODATION OF TACKLING RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS AND ALSO TACKLING THE BLOCKS THAT THE STUDY AND THE DATA SUGGESTS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

>> THANK YOU. >> THOROUGHFARE PROJECTS WE ARE PROPOSING FOR 26. REALLY HAVE NOT CHANGED MUCH. IN FACT I DON'T SEE ANY CHANGES. EDINBURG STREET JOPLIN TO ANOTHER, BALL AIRPORT ROAD, GUY GRANT, THE DESIGN OF THOSE IMPROVEMENTS.

THE DESIGN OF THE NORTH STREET PHASE 3 SEGMENT BETWEEN BEN JORDAN AND BEN WILSON. ALL OF THESE WERE PREVIOUS LIST APPROVED LAST YEAR. UTILITY MAKES PROJECTS WE ARE MOVING THE CITYWIDE WASTEWATER AND WATER SYSTEM SYSTEMS I SHOULD SAY. 226 THOSE ARE CDBG PROJECTS, MOCKINGBIRD SEWER LINE REPLACEMENT THAT WILL BE , WE WILL PROBABLY BE READY TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS AFTER THE FIRST FISCAL YEAR THE PROJECT, MY INTERNS I HAVE HAD THEM WORKING ON SOME OF THE PROJECTS GETTING EXPERIENCE IN THIS SORT OF THING AND IT HAS HELPED ME OUT IN TERMS OF GETTING THINGS DONE.

>> WHERE ON MOCKINGBIRD? >> THIS IS BETWEEN THE BARREL

[01:00:02]

>> THAT STREET IS REALLY NICE. GLAD IT IS A REHABILITATION.

>> YES. YES. DESIGN OF SYCAMORE STREET AND WILLOW STREET WATERLINES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WILL TAKE PLACE NEXT YEAR AND WE SHOULD BE READY CONSTRUCT THE WASTEWATER REGIONAL TREATMENT PLANT . OTHER PROJECTS IN 26 . THE BOAT RAMP AND THE KAYAK TAKE-OUT PROJECT, THE BOAT RAMP IS AT THE NORTHERN PART OF RIVERSIDE PARK, THE KAYAK TAKE-OUT POINT NOW WE ARE PROPOSING IT TO BE THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE PARK AROUND RIVERBEND JUST BEFORE YOU GET TO THE PUMP HOUSE RESTAURANTS.

SOMEWHAT MY UNDERSTANDING IS SOMEWHAT NEAR WHERE THE TAKE-OUT POINT IS FOR THE TEXAS SAFARI I THINK. FOR SOME RACE ON RIVER IS WHAT I WAS TOLD. I WILL GO WITH THAT. CHILDREN'S PART BY GROUND AND SPLASH PAD PROJECT WE SHOULD BE READY TO START CONSTRUCTION AT SOME POINT FISCAL YEAR 26 ON THE PROJECT. HOPEFULLY THEN IT WOULD BE READY IN 27 TO OPEN UP IF NOT SOONER. COMMUNITY CENTER RENOVATION AND EXPANSION. DESIGN OF THE MARTIN LUTHER KING PARK IMPROVEMENTS. THIS SLIDE. IF YOU CANNOT SEE THERE THIS IS ON THE HANDOUT BECAUSE WE FIGURED THIS MIGHT BE DIFFICULT TO READ. THE HANDOUT WOULD BE A LITTLE BETTER BASICALLY THIS IS A SUMMATION OF ALL THE PROJECTS ORIGINALLY PROPOSED WHETHER THEY STAY AS THE 26 LIST WHETHER THERE WILL BE CHANGES OR POSTPONEMENT , ANYTHING MOVING FORWARD FROM A LATER YEAR .

>> HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE 12 PROJECT AND LONETREE ACRES.

MONEY WE ARE SUPPOSED TO GET WHAT'S THE REAL HANGUP BECAUSE YOU HAVE A TIMEFRAME TO USE THE MONEY SPENT THE TIME FRAME WILL NOT REALLY APPLY HERE. IT DOES NOT START UNTIL WE GET PROJECT APPROVAL AND THE CONTRACT IS SIGNED BETWEEN THE STATE OF

TEXAS AND THE CITY. >> WHY WAS IT POSTPONED?

>> CURRENTLY THEY ARE REVIEWING THIS PROJECT AND THEY COME UP

WITH A QUESTION AFTER QUESTION. >> A LOT OF BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN STAFF, OUR CONSULTANT WE HIRED TO HELP MANAGE AND THE GL OH, A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY YOU'RE GOING, THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL SIT DOWNS WITHOUT GOING INTO THE WEEDS OR GIVING SPECIFIC EXAMPLES THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF BACK AND FORTH BUT IT IS MOVING. THAT'S WHAT'S BEEN DRIVING IT. SPECIFICALLY FOR SCATA I THINK I COULD SURMISE THE FEEDBACK AND BACK AND FORTH, THE GL OH HAS PUT US IN A POSITION TO DEFEND WHY WE WANT TO DO THESE PROJECTS BECAUSE THIS ONE IS COMING FROM A VERY SPECIFIC PROGRAM SO THROUGH OUR CONSULTANT WE HAVE HAD TO SELL THE PROJECTS TO THE GL LOW AND IT HAS TAKEN TIME AND ENERGY, REENGAGE SOME ENGINEERS AND PUTTING EFFORT INTO BASICALLY CONVINCING THE GL OH THAT PROJECTS FALL WITHIN THE CATEGORIES THEY HAVE OUTLINED AND THAT HAS TAKEN SOME TIME.

>> I WOULD THINK LONETREE ACRES WOULD FALL UNDER ALL CATEGORIES.

>> FLOOD MITIGATION YES. >> DO WE HAVE THE EASEMENTS TO

ALL FLOOD MITIGATION? >> HAPPY TO ANSWER THAT IN

EXECUTIVE SESSION. >> MAYBE WE HAVE DECIDED THIS.

THERE ARE TWO PHASES AND WE TEND TO PHASE THING TO AFFORD THEM BUT WE ARE BIDDING BOTH OF THEM TOGETHER?

>> YOU MAY RECALL FROM MY PRESENTATION FRIDAY SUGGESTING THE CEOS PLANNED TO ISSUE THIS YEAR FIRST PHASE WERE NOT ISSUED SO WE BASICALLY HAVE EXTENDED THE DEBT CAPACITY TO FISCAL YEAR

[01:05:04]

QUANTITY FOR BOTH. >> OKAY.

>> EVEN THOUGH, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS PART OF YOUR QUESTION, BUT EVEN THOUGH YES IT IS BEING BID OUT TOGETHER AS ONE PROJECT OBVIOUSLY THE PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION ASPECT WOULD HAVE TO BE PHASED TO PRIORITIZE SECTIONS CLOSE TO THE SCHOOL DURING THE SUMMER RIGHT? SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE PHASED EXECUTION OF THE PROJECT BUT IT WILL BE AWARDED AT ONCE SO THAT'S WHY DAVID MENTIONED HOPEFULLY WE GET BETTER UNIT PRICING SINCE THINGS LIKE MOBILIZATION WILL ONLY HAPPEN

ONCE. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. LET'S GIVE

IT A TRY. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> BEFORE YOU PROCEED TO FISCAL YEAR 27 I FORGOT TO BRING UP AND PROMPT YOU TO TALK ABOUT AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK IN THE SLIDES BUT ONE OF THE UPDATES RELEVANT TO FISCAL YEAR 25 I THINK WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT PUBLICLY BECAUSE I DON'T THINK WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT PUBLICLY IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BRIGGS BRIDGE AND THE IMPACT THAT'S HAVING ON THE PROJECT THAT WAS IN THIS FISCAL YEAR BUDGET. CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT A LITTLE BIT?

>> YES OKAY. ORIGINALLY THIS YEAR AS PART OF OUR MILLING OVERLAY PROJECT WE WERE GOING TO MILL AND OVERLAY ALL THE WAY FROM LOOP 463 UP TO BALL AIRPORT ROAD FIGURED WE WOULD DO THAT BEFORE WE STARTED HAVING ALL THE TRAFFIC NOT GOING DOWN BRIGGS CONTINUING DOWN. HOWEVER, UPON FURTHER CONSIDERATION WE REALIZED THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF HEAVY TRUCK TRAFFIC ON THAT SECTION BETWEEN LOOP AND BREAKS BRINGING IN FIELD AT HER TO RAISE THE BRIDGE SO WE'RE GOING TO PROPOSE WORK ON THAT SEGMENT UNTIL THE BRIDGE IS COMPLETE AND WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S BEEN DONE TO THE ROAD AND WHAT WE WANT TO DO TO BRING IT UP TO STANDARDS. I WOULD HATE TO SPEND A COUPLE OF HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS TO DO THE OVERLAY AND THE TRUCKS TARRIED UP AND WE NEED TO COME BACK AND DO MORE TO IT.

>> IN ADDITION TO THAT MORE IMPORTANTLY TXDOT OVERSEEING THE BRIDGE RECONSTRUCTION HAS DELAYED THE PROJECT. SO ORIGINALLY YOU MAY RECALL KENT SPEARHEADED THE ACQUISITION RIGHT-OF-WAY NEEDED FROM CITIZENS AND OTHER FOLKS KIND OF LIKE A TIME CRUNCH, IT SEEMED, THAT'S BECAUSE THEY WERE TRYING TO GET THE BRIDGE DONE THIS SUMMER HOWEVER THAT'S BEEN DELAYED BASICALLY THE WHOLE YEAR IT SOUNDS LIKE. SO THAT PARTIALLY CONTRIBUTED TO DEALING SOME OF THE WORK ON MILLETT BECAUSE IT MAKES SENSE TO WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE BRIDGE IS

CONSTRUCTED. >> SO THERE'S TWO WAYS TO GET TO THE BRIDGE FROM OPPOSITE ENDS.

>> THEY WILL END UP COMING FROM BOTH WAYS. WHEN THE BRIDGE COMES OUT THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO CROSS NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THE NEW BRIDGE WILL BE SEVEN OR EIGHT FEET HIGHER. SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE BRINGING IN A LOT OF TRUCKS WITH A LOT OF FILL DIRT.

>>.IT . >> ANY OF THE QUESTIONS ON FISCAL YEAR 26? OKAY THANK YOU. YOU CAN GO TO FISCAL YEAR 27.

>> JUST MOVE ON TO 27? OKAY. ORIGINAL RESIDENTIAL STREETS PROPOSED IN 27 WERE FOR BRONSON AND TERRACE SUBDIVISION NORTH OF THE COLLEGE , RED RIVER HEIGHTS TO THE EAST OF THE COLLEGE.

EASTSIDE ADDITION AND SPRINGWOOD ADDITION WE WOULD LOOK TO WORK ON THROUGH THE STREETS BOBROW , SOME OF YOU IN PARKVIEW.

THOROUGHFARE PROJECTS WE ARE LOOKING TO PURSUE WILL BE NORTH STREET PHASE 3 A PAVING AND DRAINAGE COME UTILITY WORK SHOULD'VE BEEN DONE IN FISCAL YEAR 26. THIS IS THE SECTION BETWEEN LORENZ STREET AND AVENUE SEED THAT RUNS IN FRONT OF NAME ] DUE TO THE TIMELINE HOW LONG THAT'S GOING TO TAKE THIS WORK WILL BE ONGOING DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR , THERE'S NO WAY TO COMPLETE ALL OF IT IN A SUMMER SO HOPEFULLY THE PUBLIC IS LISTENING AND THEY WILL FIGURE THAT OUT WHEN WE GET THERE. JOHN

[01:10:05]

COMMUNITY CENTER RENOVATION EXPANSION PROJECTS STILL ONGOING , RIVERSIDE MULTI-USE TRAIL PROPOSING TO FINALLY CONSTRUCT THOSE TRAILS DURING FISCAL YEAR 27. BRIGGS BOULEVARD MILL AND OVERLAY, THE BRIDGE SHOULD BE COMPLETED SOMETIME EARLY FISCAL YEAR 27 AND THEN WE CAN DO MILL AND OVERLAY AFTER THAT. WE WOULD LIKE TO DO ON THAT WHEN THE OTHER ARE COMPLETED BEFORE THEY REOPEN IT WHEN THE ROAD IS CLOSED JUST BEFORE THEY OPEN IT UP AND THEY'RE DOING FINAL IMPROVEMENTS TO THE BRIDGE WOULD BE THE TIME TO COME TO THE MILL AND OVERLAY WHERE WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY, TRAFFIC HAS BEEN DIVERTED ND TORT AND WE WOULD NOT HAVE THAT TO CAUSE ANYBODY ANY OTHER INTERRUPTIONS AFTER THE ROAD OPENS UP WITH THE NEW BRIDGE. AIRLINE ROAD SEWER LINE ABANDONMENT , THAT WAS MOVED FISCAL YEAR 26. THIS PROJECT THERE IS EXISTING BETWEEN TWO WEST OF LAURENT THE SEWER LINE RUNS BACKYARD EASEMENTS. IT IS HARD TO ACCESS. WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO DO THERE IS RELOCATE THE SEWER SERVICES, WE WILL HAVE TO REROUTE MOST COME OUT THROUGH THE BACKSIDE OF THE HOUSE AROUND THROUGH THE SIDE YARD AND COME OUT TO THE FRONT TO THE EXISTING SEWER LINES. THAT WAY WE WILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE SEWER MAINS IF WE NEED THEM IF THERE'S ANY BLOCKAGES. RIGHT NOW WE CANNOT GET A TRUCK IN THERE TO TRY TO JET OUT A BLOCKAGE, YOUR DOCTOR GO THROUGH A YARD TAKE DOWN FENCES AND SUCH SO THAT'S WHY THE BACKYARD EASEMENTS ARE SUCH AN ISSUE. RESIDENTIAL STREET PROJECTS ARE PRETTY MUCH SCATTERED FROM THE SOUTH SIDE TO THE MIDDLE TO THE NORTH WEST

[01:15:04]

>> I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE AIRLINE THE WATER LINE REPLACEMENT ON AIRLINE , THE IRON PIPE. I AM SITTING IN 2025 AND WE HAD PROBLEMS ON THE WATER LINES ON AIRLINE ANYWAY. I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THIS ONE BUT WE ARE MOVING AHEAD QUITE A FEW YEARS. ARE REFILLING LIKE WE WILL MAKE IT?

>> YES. THIS LINE IS PRETTY DEEP SO IT'S NOT AS MUCH SUBJECT TO THE GROUND MOVEMENT WHICH CAN BE A PROBLEM FOR CAST-IRON WATERLINES. THEY ARE NOT VERY FLEXIBLE, THE LINES THAT ARE MORE SHALLOW SHIFT FROM WET TO DRY SEASONS. IT CAN CAUSE THE PIPE TO SHEAR. WHEN IT IS DEEPER AT A DIFFERENT MOISTURE LEVEL

THAT'S NOT AS BIG OF AN ISSUE. >> OKAY, THANK YOU FOR THAT.

>> IN REGARDS TO THE NORTH STREET AS WE'RE DOING A LOT OF UTILITIES BEFORE DOING THE ROADS BETWEEN BEN JORDAN AND XYBIX WERE DOING MILL AND OVERLAY ARE THE UTILITIES GOOD UNDERNEATH

IT? >> UTILITIES WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED , BUT WE ARE SPECIFICALLY RECOMMENDING MILL AND OVERLAY NOT COMPLETE RECONSTRUCT. IF YOU RECALL THE PHASING OF NORTH STREET, THERE IS A SECTION IN FRONT OF PATTY WELDER BUT THAT DOES NOT GO ALL THE WAY TO XYBIX , BEN JORDAN , SORRY. SO THERE'S ANOTHER PHASE OF COMPLETE RECONSTRUCTION NEEDED ON NORTH STREET TO GET ALL THE WAY TO BEN JORDAN SO BY THE TIME WE GET TO THAT WE ARE TALKING YEARS DOWN THE LINE IN OUR MIND INVESTMENT IN THE MILL AND OVERLAY IN FRONT OF THE COMMUNITY CENTER IS WORTH IT. WE ALSO DON'T KNOW WHAT CHANGE PRIORITIES MIGHT CHANGE, WE MIGHT WANT TO FOCUS ON NORTH STREET COMING BACK THE OTHER WAY GOING BACK DOWNTOWN. WE REALLY HAVE NOT RECEIVED AND HAVE NOT PUSHED FOR WHAT COMES AFTER WE DO THE SECTION IN FRONT OF PATTY WELDER AND IT WILL BE YEARS BEFORE WE GET TO ANY OTHER SECTION. SO IT IS MINIMAL INVESTMENT FROM OUR STANDPOINT TO MATCH THE FACILITY BEING NEW.

I MENTIONED ON FRIDAY THE BIGGEST PIECES OF FEEDBACK WE RECEIVED ON THE PROJECT WAS MAYBE DO ISSUE AS MANY CEOS FOR THE PROJECT AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT NORTH STREET SO THE SOLUTION IS DECREASING COMMUNITY CENTER EXPANSION PLACING MORE PRESSURE ON THE HOT FUNDS TO COVER THAT , WE DROPPED THAT TO LITTLE 10 MILLION BASICALLY AND THEN DOING MILL AND OVERLAY FOR

NORTH STREET FOR THE OVERLAY. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT REASON.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY WE WILL GO AND TALK ABOUT PROPOSED

[01:20:02]

ANNUAL PICKUP AND GO FROM NORTH STREET TO LINDA DRIVE GOING NORTH ALONGSIDE THE STROMAN CAMPUS. THAT WILL BE ABOUT ALL WE CAN AFFORD WITH THE FUNDS WE HAVE UNLESS WE FIND MORE FUNDING FOR THAT TO CONTINUE THE ROAD SO MAYBE AND 29 WE CAN CONTINUE BEN WILSON AND TAKE THAT ALL THE WAY TO RIO GRANDE STREET. THIS YEAR WE ARE MAILING AND OVERLAYING FROM HOUSTON HIGHWAY TO RIO GRANDE ON BEN WILSON SO THAT ROAD WILL BE IN GOOD SHAPE, NOR STREET PHASE 3 B FROM AVENUE C TO BEN JORDAN AND THE GUY GRANT STREET IMPROVEMENT. UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS WE ARE LOOKING AT $4.7 MILLION WORTH, NORTH STREET PHASE 3 B THE REGIONAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT REMOVAL STRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION WITH ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION OF SYCAMORE WATER STREET WATER LINE REPLACEMENT. WILL BEGIN DESIGN ON AIRLINE WROTE A 20 INCH WATER LINE REPLACEMENT. THESE SLIDES WILL SHOW YOU GRAPHICALLY WHERE THE PROPOSED STREETS ARE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT FOR THE RESIDENTIAL. AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS THE , THE ] OFF OF HANSELMAN ROAD EAST OF DELMAR. LAKE FOREST SUBDIVISION.

ARMORY DRIVE. SPRINGWOOD DRIVE, RIDGEVIEW AND CREEKSIDE, THIS

[01:25:01]

JOHN STOCKBAUER FROM MOCKINGBIRD TO SEVEN, AIRLINE FROM MAINE TO NAVARRO. AND BEN WILSON SHOWING FROM BEGINNING AT THE SOUTH END OF THE HIGHWAY UP TO FOREST STREET, FOREST STREET TO THE NORTH AND NORTH STREET TO LINDA DRIVE.

UTILITY PROJECTS. >> QUICKENING QUESTIONS? ON

THOSE? >> KEEP IN MIND AS WE GO THROUGH THIS I WILL GIVE DAVID A LITTLE BREATHER. YOU KNOW WE HAVE GONE INTO THE HABIT OF DOING A THREE-YEAR PLANNING WINDOW, BUT ULTIMATELY WHAT YOU WILL BE ASKED TO APPROVE AS PART OF FISCAL YEAR 26 BUDGET IS TECHNICALLY THE PROJECTS THAT ARE PART OF FISCAL YEAR 26. SO KEEP THAT IN MIND. WE ADOPT THE CIP BUT IT IS A LIVING BREATHING DOCUMENT, THINGS CAN CHANGE AND SOMETIMES I HAVE TO AS YOU HEARD FROM DAVID SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO REARRANGE THOSE. I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR ULTIMATELY WHAT YOU WILL BE APPROVING IN AUGUST WOULD BE THE FISCAL YEAR 26 PROJECTS AND WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING FISCAL YEAR 27 AND 28 IS TO GIVE US AN IDEA AS TO HOW THAT'S LOOKING IN THOSE YEARS. AND SO WE WELCOME FEEDBACK, DOES NOT HAVE TO BE TONIGHT, BUT WE WELCOME FEEDBACK ON THE OUTER YEARS BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS BETTER TO JUST WHAT WE ARE DOING WHEN WE'RE PLANNING TWO YEARS IN ADVANCE VERSUS TRYING TO ADJUST IN THE MOMENT.

FINISH STRONG, DAVID. >> I WILL TRY TO. UTILITY PROJECTS WE ARE PROPOSING FOR 28. TO THE NORTH SIDE AIRLINE WROTE 20 INCH WATER LINE REPLACEMENT. NORTH STREET PHASE 3 B UTILITIES AND SYCAMORE AND WILLOW STREET WATER LINE AND KIND OF THE ORANGE BROWN ON HIGHWAY 59 THAT'S WHERE THE BRIDGE STRUCTURE WOULD BE CONSTRUCTED AT THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT. I DID NOT KNOW IT DID THIS.

>> AT LEAST IT WAS NOT IN ALL THIS LIGHT.

>> I THOUGHT I HAD ALL OF THAT TURNED OFF.

>> THESE ARE ALL THE PROJECTS WE ARE PROPOSING FOR FISCAL YEAR 28. ON THE COMMENTS SECTION WHERE INDICATING TO YOU PROJECTS WE HAVE MOVED FROM PRIOR YEARS FORWARD. AND CURRENTLY WE ARE PROPOSING APPROXIMATELY A LITTLE OVER $23 MILLION FOR CAPITAL

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

[01:30:03]

>> IS A FOLLOW-UP TO THAT, WE DO A GOOD JOB OF PLANNING AHEAD , WE HAVE A HANDLE ON THE STREETS WE KNOW WE NEED TO FIX. BUT THEN WHEN SOMETHING NEW COMES UP, A LOT OF TIMES THE ANSWER BECOMES THAT'S NOT IN THE CIP. SO, YOU BOTH KNOW I HAVE A SPECIFIC SINGLE STREET IN MIND. REMIND ME AGAIN WHAT IS OUR PROCESS TO GET SOMETHING INTO THE CIP? I KNOW STUFF DOES A GREAT JOB AND I APPRECIATE THAT OF WHEN SOMETHING BECOMES URGENT AND WE DO SOME ADJUSTING BUT HOW DO WE FEED MORE STUFF INTO THE CIP?

>> I THINK IT DEPENDS, IT'S ONE THING TO SUGGEST ADDING LIKE TONTO CIRCLE FOR EXAMPLE WHICH IS A PROJECT ONLY A FEW HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS AND IT'S A DIFFERENT THING TO SUGGEST INCORPORATING $50 MILLION COMPLETE RECONSTRUCTIVE NEIGHBORHOOD. THE SCOPE OF THAT IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. SO AS I MENTIONED A FEW MONTHS AGO WE WELCOME YOUR SUGGESTION ON STREETS , WE ATTEMPTED TO INCORPORATE SOME OF THOSE INTO THE PLANNING WINDOW SO HOPEFULLY YOU RECOGNIZE SOME OF THOSE BUT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO INCORPORATE EVERYTHING. I THINK IT'S MUCH EASIER TO INCORPORATE SMALL PROJECTS LIKE TONTO DRIVE OR CIRCLE OR WHATEVER IT IS. BECAUSE WE DO SEE FLUCTUATION IN THE AVAILABILITY OF CASH, WE MIGHT BUDGET WILL MAKE UP $4 MILLION FOR THE RESIDENTIAL STREET PROJECT IT MIGHT COME IN AT 3.5 THEN WE SAY OKAY HERE'S OPPORTUNITY TO ADD TO THE $50,000 PROJECT SO I THINK IT DEPENDS. IF THE INTENTION IS TO BASICALLY DEVELOP A LIST OF STREETS THAT ARE LOW HANGING FRUIT STREETS FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD WE CAN DISCUSS SETTING UP A LIST OF LOW HANGING FRUIT STREETS THAT SIMPLY NECESSITATE RECLAMATION. BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE MOST COST-EFFECTIVE. SO IT WOULD BE EASY FOR US TO PLUG THOSE IN WHEN MONEY IS AVAILABLE. IT WOULD BE MUCH HARDER TO INCORPORATE COMPLETE NEIGHBORHOODS. AND SO IF WHAT YOU'RE SUGGESTING IS HOW DO YOU PROVIDE FEEDBACK FOR THE LARGER RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS THAN IT WOULD BE THROUGH THIS SETTING.

WE SHOW YOU WHAT WE ARE SUGGESTING BE DONE IN 28 AND YOU CAN EASILY AS A GROUP DECIDED WE DON'T WANT TO DO THOSE RESIDENTIAL STREETS IN 28, WE WOULD RATHER DO SOMETHING ELSE BUT WE HAVE TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING TO SPUR THE CONVERSATION RIGHT? SO, I HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION.

>> IT DOES AND IT IS INTERESTING. YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT SPRINGWOOD , THAT WHEN WE ARE DONE WITH THIS PROJECT OR PLAN THAT ALL THE ASPHALT THERE WILL BE THE SAME AGE WHICH MAKES IT EASY TO GO BACK TO THE SUBDIVISION AGAIN AND ON THE OTHER END IS ONLY UP TO TACKLE THE ENTIRE SUBDIVISION THAT'S TOO BIG OF A BITE AND I REALIZE MILL AND OVERLAY OR SEAL COAT IS A LOT LESS EXPENSIVE THAN A REBUILT BUT IT IS SORT OF A COUNCIL POLICY DECISION ALSO IN THE LONG DISTANT PAST COUNCIL ADJUSTED DO A STREET AT A TIME AND THAT BECAME VERY COST PROHIBITIVE AND SO THEY STARTED DOING FULL SUBDIVISIONS. AT LEAST THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING OF IT AND WE'RE STILL DOING THAT AND I THINK THAT'S GOOD BUT BY THE SAME TOKEN I CAN SEE HOW THAT TIES US INTO ENDING UP WITH SOME LOW HANGING FRUIT TYPE STREETS THAT ARE PART OF A SUBDIVISION THAT THE SUBDIVISION

IS GREAT EXCEPT FOR THAT STREET. >> YEAH, I THINK IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO SUGGEST THE COST OF COMPLETELY RECONSTRUCTING STREETS HAS GONE UP EXPONENTIALLY. EVEN A COST FACTOR ALONE I DON'T THE STATS BUT BASED OFF THE BIDS WE RECEIVED COMPLETELY RECONSTRUCTING NOW COMPARED TO FIVE YEARS AGO HAS GONE UP 30% PLUS. SO IT MAKES IT A LITTLE BIT HARDER TO TRY TO TACKLE COMPLETE NEIGHBORHOODS BECAUSE

[01:35:03]

OR 15 YEARS AGO. >> PARTICULARLY BASED ON AGE AND SIZE AND SOME SUBDIVISIONS YOU CAN DO ENTIRE SUBDIVISION SIX OR EIGHT STREETS VERSUS 25 OR 30 ON OTHERS. TO YOUR POINT MR. KARZAI, ONE EXAMPLE OF THE RECLAMATION PROJECT WE DID A COUPLE YEARS AGO WAS WILL HURT THE ROAD. ONE OF THOSE THAT WAS NEVER GOING TO GET THROWN IN AS PART OF A SUBDIVISION, BUT IT WAS KIND OF A STANDALONE STREET WE DID A RECLAMATION PROJECT ON THAT WAS RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE COMPARED TO OTHERS. I THINK THAT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS. I LIKE THE CONCEPT AND I KNOW WE KIND OF TALK ABOUT IT TIME TO TIME BUT MAYBE WE IDENTIFY A LIST OF LOOK HERE'S TOP 10 OR 12 WHATEVER STANDALONES THAT IF WE DO HAVE THOSE FUNDS BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THE BID IS LOWER THAN ANTICIPATED THEN WE HAVE A HIT LIST IF YOU WILL OF MAY BE HERE ARE INDIVIDUAL STREETS THAT PROBABLY WON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN THE SUBDIVISION PRODUCT PROJECT BUT WE OUGHT TO DO THEM BECAUSE OF THE CONDITION. MAYBE THAT'S KIND OF A STANDBY LIST WHEN WE GET MONEY AVAILABLE WE WILL HIT THESE INDIVIDUAL STREETS.

>> CAN YOU GO BACK A FEW SLIDES? >> TALKING ABOUT RECLAMATION.

>> THAT SAME APPROACH I'M TRYING TO FIND TO GO BACK TO THE ONE THAT SHOWS THE DEAD END STREETS. THE ONE ON THE LEFT.

THOSE STREETS ON THE LEFT WOULD'VE NEVER BEEN ADDRESSED HAD WE SIMPLY JUST STUCK TO DOING COMPLETE NEIGHBORHOODS.

KNOW THESE ARE NOT NECESSARILY RECLAIMS BUT IT'S THE SAME IDEA. AFTER SO MANY YEARS I SHOULDN'T SAY JUST, BUT AFTER YEARS FOR THE MOST PART OF PRIORITIZING NEIGHBORHOODS YOU BELIEVE STREETS THAT ARE NOT PART OF NEIGHBORHOODS THAT MIGHT ONLY HAVE A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE LIVING OFF OF THEM. NOBODY EVER TOUCHES THEM RIGHT? AT THE END OF THE DAY WE SHOULD HAVE CIP THAT IS BALANCED THAT CONTAINS STREETS LIKE THIS AND CAN GO DO A WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE LAKE FOREST. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET TO, TO BETTER BALANCE WHERE WE CAN DO NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE LAKE FOREST AND WE CAN DO THE ONE OF STREETS THAT OTHERWISE WOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN ANY LOVE. SO THAT'S WHAT

WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE NOW. >> I THINK THAT'S A GOOD APPROACH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I AM GLAD TO SEE ARMORY DRIVE ON THE LIST SOMEWHERE. SO YOU KNOW THAT'S ONE.

>> ANY RECOMMENDATIONS ON STREETS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO GIVE THEM TO ME AND I CAN DEVELOP COST ESTIMATES OF WHAT IS GOING TO TAKE AND SOMETIMES IF YOU HAVE EXTRA FUNDS WE WILL FIND ONE THAT WILL FIT WITHIN THAT DOLLAR FRAME.

>> BRIGHT. I THINK WE KEEP PLUGGING AWAY ON WHAT WE CAN AND WE APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT GOES INTO PLANNING. WELL DONE AND THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION. MR. GARZA ANY OTHER CITY MANAGER

REPORTS? >> NO SIR.

>> UNDERSTAND WILL HAVE BRIEF EXECUTIVE SESSION. WHY DON'T WE TAKE A 10 MINUTE BREAK AND WE WILL BE BACK HERE AT 6:48.

[H. Executive Sessions:]

>> CITY COUNCIL RECESS SUBJECT MATTER IS AS FOLLOWS.
