AND BEING OUT OF LOT ONE MAYNARD TO EDITION IN TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS. ALL RIGHT, MR. BURRELL.

OR WHOMEVER. MAYOR. COUNCIL. MY NAME IS MICHAEL BURRELL, INTERIM DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY OF MAYNARD. I JUST WANT TO SAY, IT'S KIND OF FUNNY HOW LIFE WORKS, BUT VERONICA

[00:05:01]

RIVERA, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY, HAS SOME INFORMATION ON THIS ITEM. ALL RIGHT. MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS VERONICA RIVERA, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY. THIS ITEM WAS ORIGINALLY. WE WERE GOING TO PROVIDE YOU ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IN EXCHANGE AND DISCUSS THE EXHIBITS. HOWEVER, WHEN I WAS PROVIDED THE NEW EXHIBIT, THE ACREAGE HAS CHANGED. AND SO THE POSTING ON THE AGENDA IS NOT CORRECT. NOW FOR YOU TO ACTUALLY TAKE ACTION ON THAT ITEM. SO IT NEEDS TO COME BACK TO YOU ON THE 18TH. SO WE ASK FOR YOU TO MAKE A MOTION TO POSTPONE UNTIL THE 18TH. YES, MA'AM. IT CORRECTLY. OKAY. IS THERE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR OR QUESTION OR CLARIFICATION? CAN ? COUNCIL MEMBERS. I THINK WHAT WE'RE PAST. USUALLY THE QUESTIONS HAVE TO COME FROM WHOEVER'S AT THE PODIUM. ARE YOU MR. ROBINSON? YES. COME ON UP. YES. YEAH. GOOD EVENING TO EVERYONE. ROBINSON SERRANO WITH LANDMARK COMPANIES. YEAH. I MEAN, THIS IS KIND OF LIKE A LAST MINUTE SURPRISE, YOU KNOW? WE REQUESTED WE HAD MEETINGS ABOUT A MONTH AGO, A MONTH AND A HALF AGO. AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE TO DO IN ORDER TO GET A PROPER PROJECT TO GET PERMITS FOR OUR PROJECT, IS WE NEEDED TO PROVIDE AN EASEMENT TO PROVIDE A SEWER CONNECTION TO A COMMERCIAL LAW THAT IS ON, YOU KNOW, ON THE FRONT OF 290, WHERE BEHIND WE WORK ON THIS EASEMENT. YOU KNOW, WE MISSED THE LAST THE LAST DEADLINE FOR THE PREVIOUS CITY COUNCIL. WE PROVIDED THE DOCUMENTS FOR THIS CITY COUNCIL MEETING. THE DOCUMENTS THAT WE PROVIDED WERE REVIEW WOULD APPROVE. WE DID AN EASEMENT AGREEMENT THAT IT WAS SIGNED AND EXECUTED. AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE, YOU KNOW, ACTED ON TONIGHT. YOU KNOW, LAST MINUTE WE GOT AN ISSUE THAT THEY HAD SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT IT, WHICH WE WORK OUT TODAY ALL DAY TRYING TO GET THOSE RESOLVED. THERE WERE A COUPLE OF ISSUES WE WERE WILLING TO PROVIDE. YOU KNOW, ANY ASSURANCES THAT IT NEEDED THAT WHAT WE'RE PROVIDING IS A PATH, YOU KNOW, FOR THEM TO CONNECT. AND YOU KNOW, THIS IS KIND OF LIKE A LAST MINUTE THING TO NOW THEY'RE SAYING THAT IT'S IN THERE AND, YOU KNOW, AN ERROR ON THE ON THE EASEMENT, WHICH IS COMPLETELY, YOU KNOW, UNFAIR BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS TO BE APPROVED FOR ALMOST A MONTH. AND I WOULD LIKE THAT'S THE REASON WHY I ASKED HIM WHY WHY WAS THAT, THAT WE WANTED TO PRESENT OUR CASE BECAUSE WE BELIEVE WHAT WE ARE PROVIDING IS FAIR, IS WHAT IS WAS REQUESTED OF US, AND WE PRESENTED IT AND EVERYBODY REVIEWED IT. AND, YOU KNOW, SO WE WANTED TO GET SOME EXPLANATION ON THAT. IF IT'S ALL POSSIBLE BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT WE SAID, YOU KNOW, THE RIGHT FOR THIS THING TO BE CONSIDERED AND APPROVED BECAUSE WE COMPLY WITH ALL, ALL THE REQUIREMENTS TO BE PRESENTED. OKAY. THANK YOU. CAN Y'ALL WHO CAN COME AND ANSWER THAT FOR HIM? MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT YES, CITY ENGINEERING DID REVIEW THE METES AND BOUNDS THAT WERE PROVIDED FOR THIS EASEMENT. HOWEVER, THE EASEMENT NEEDED TO INCLUDE SOME ADDITIONAL LAND TO COVER THE ADJACENT COMMERCIAL TRACT. SO THAT WAS WHAT WAS WORKED ON LAST MINUTE. AND IT WAS BROUGHT TO YOU FOR DISCUSSION TONIGHT. BUT LIKE I SAID, I HAD NOT SEEN THE EXHIBITS UNTIL JUST FIVE MINUTES AGO. AND BECAUSE THE AGENDA ITEM IS NOT WORDED PROPERLY, THAT'S WHY WE'RE ASKING FOR A POSTPONEMENT UNTIL THE 18TH.

HOWEVER, I DO WANT TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION, AND THIS IS AT YOUR DISCRETION, THAT YOU COULD MAKE A MOTION. THIS IS A AN EASEMENT THAT IS REQUIRED BY PLAT. SO IT'S UNDER THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE, WHICH ALLOWS YOUR CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE EASEMENTS RELATED TO A SUBDIVISION. AND IF YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ALLOW HIM TO DO THIS, ONCE WE HAVE THIS FINALIZED, THEN WE DON'T HAVE TO BRING IT BACK TO YOU ON THE 18TH. BUT IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE IT AGAIN ON THE 18TH, THEN WE ARE ASKING FOR A POSTPONEMENT BECAUSE IT'S NOT WORDED PROPERLY RIGHT NOW ON YOUR AGENDA. SO THE MY UNDERSTANDING FROM HEARING WHAT YOU SAID EARLIER, READING WHAT WAS PROVIDED IN THE BACKUP DOCUMENTATION PRIOR AND THEN HEARING FROM MR. IS IT ZORRO ZAMORANO ZAMORANO FROM HEARING FROM FROM IT'S REALLY NOT NECESSARY. WE'RE NOT TALKING

[00:10:01]

ABOUT A DISAGREEMENT ON THE PATH FORWARD. IT'S MORE SORT OF LANGUAGE CORRECT. OKAY. SO COUNCIL MEMBERS, YOU ALL HAVE TWO OPTIONS THAT ARE BEFORE YOU POSTPONEMENT SAID THAT THE LANGUAGE CAN BE CORRECT OR THE OPTION OF AUTHORIZING CITY MANAGER. SO I'LL TAKE YOUR QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR A MOTION ON THE FLOOR. DID YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO. YES. ARE YOU MR. VASQUEZ? YES. OKAY FOR THAT. COME ON. SAY YOUR NAME AND WHO YOU ARE. MY NAME IS JOSH VASQUEZ. I'M REPRESENTING THE ADJACENT TRACT LANDOWNER THAT SHE JUST DISCUSSED. JUST TO SHED SOME LIGHT AND CLARITY ON THE MATTER. THE EASEMENT WAS INITIALLY DRAWN WRONG AND EVERYTHING THAT THE MATERIALS WE GOT BACK TODAY WERE RECEIVED. TODAY. SO I'M ASKING FOR A POSTPONEMENT JUST TO REVIEW. GET SOME MORE TIME, GET ALL THE ENGINEERS, ALL THE PARTIES ON BOARD TO REACH A MUTUAL RESOLUTION ON THE MATTER. SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE ASKING FOR THE POSTPONEMENT AS WELL. OKAY. SO THIS IS WHAT WE'LL DO IF YOU ALL DON'T MIND. WE'LL WE'LL HOLD ON THIS ITEM FOR RIGHT NOW AND COME BACK TO IT AND SEE IF YOU ALL CAN FIGURE OUT A SOLUTION. WHEN WE COME BACK TO IT TONIGHT. CAN I ADD SOMETHING TO THAT RESPONSE? YEAH. WELL, WHAT I WANT TO WHAT I WANT Y'ALL TO DO IS MAYBE Y'ALL STEP OUT AND FIGURE OUT SOMETHING, AND THEN WE COME BACK TO IT ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT. AND THEN Y'ALL TELL US WHAT Y'ALL COME UP WITH. YEAH.

THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO ADDRESS TOO. BECAUSE AGAIN WE HAVE A TWO HOUR MEETING TODAY. YOU KNOW, WE'RE YOU KNOW WITH THIS CAST, YOU KNOW WHAT WHAT WAS PROPOSED AND EVERYTHING ELSE. AND THERE WERE TWO ITEMS THAT WERE, YOU KNOW, CONCERNED. AND WE AGREED TO PROVIDE A, A SIGNED LETTER FROM OUR COMPANY SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S ANY ISSUES WITH THAT, WE'D BE MORE THAN GLAD TO REVISIT THE EASEMENT AS NEEDED. THE PROBLEM IS, IS THAT THAT PARTICULAR EASEMENT IS HOLDING UP ALL THAT PROJECT. SO WE HAVE BEEN SITTING WAITING FOR THIS TO GET GOING. SO THE ONLY THING WE ASK IS JUST TO REMOVE THAT CONDITION OUT OF THAT. SO WE TOLD AND WE PROVIDED A LETTER SAYING, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THIS AND IT NEEDS TO BE REWORKED IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM, WE CAN CERTAINLY AGREEABLE TO THAT. THE THING IS, IF WE WOULD TRY TO GET THAT DONE NOW, THEN THIS IS GOING TO HOLD US UP ANOTHER MONTH OR TWO JUST TO TRY TO GET THAT WORKED OUT WITH WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. WE BELIEVE THAT IT ACTUALLY WORKS, AND THE TWO CONCERNS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP TODAY WITH ADDRESS AND AGAIN, AN ADDITION ON TOP OF THAT, WE PROVIDED A LETTER SAYING THAT IF IT'S NEEDED TO B, WHICH YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT NEEDED, WE CAN WORK ON THAT.

WE'RE JUST ASKING NOT TO KEEP US HOLDING, YOU KNOW, FOR OUR PERMITS BASED ON ON THIS ISSUE, BECAUSE WE ARE PROVIDING A PATH THAT WE WERE ASKED TO PROVIDE, AND WE PROVIDED ONE. THAT'S ALL THAT I WOULD RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE AGAIN, WE TALK FOR TWO HOURS TODAY AND WE THOUGHT THAT WE HAD AN AGREEMENT AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW, THAT THE ASSURANCES WERE PROVIDED. AND THAT'S ALL WE ASK, IS JUST FOR THIS TO BE APPROVED SO WE CAN REMOVE THAT CONTINGENCY OUT OF OUR PLANS, AND THEN CONTINUE TO WORK IF NEEDED. OKAY. MISS VASQUEZ, CAN YOU COME BACK ONE MORE TIME JUST REAL QUICK? SO MY UNDERSTANDING ON THE MCCARTY SAID, SPEAKING IN SUPPORT OF THIS, IT WAS IT IN SUPPORT OF THE POSTPONEMENT OR SUPPORT OF THE LIKE THE PROJECT. I WOULD SUPPORT THE POSTPONEMENT UNTIL THE 18TH. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S JUST IT'S JUST TO GIVE THE PARTIES MORE TIME TO WORK THROUGH THE AGREEMENTS, ALL THE DOCUMENTS, EVERYTHING ELSE. OKA.

I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. THANK YOU. OKAY. MAYOR. COUNCIL, IF I MAY PROVIDE SOME MORE INSIGHT. YES, SIR. THE REASON THIS EASEMENT IS IMPORTANT TO THE LANDMARK PARTY IS THAT VIA THE PLAT, THEY CANNOT COMMENCE CONSTRUCTION UNTIL THIS EASEMENT IS DEDICATED. NOW, I AM IN AGREEANCE THAT THE PATH FORWARD SHOULD BE SOLIDIFIED BEFORE WE JUST START THROWING ACCEPTANCES OUT. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO PIGGYBACK ON VERONICA'S EARLIER STATEMENT WHERE MR. MOORE CAN APPROVE THIS ADMINISTRATIVELY, WHEREAS WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO WAIT THE FULL TWO WEEKS IF, SAY, AN AGREEMENT IS REACHED TOMORROW AS OPPOSED TO WAITING FOR THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING AND RUNNING AROUND IN CIRCLES WAITING FOR THEM TO ESSENTIALLY START WORK.

I ALSO DID HAVE BACKUP PREPARED. I CAN HAND IT OUT. I THOUGHT THE ITEM WOULD BE POSTPONED DUE TO THE AGENDA BEING INCORRECTLY TITLED, BUT I CAN HAND THIS OUT FOR YOUR VIEW IF YOU'D LIKE.

JUST TO CONTINUE THOUGHT AND DISCUSSION, LET ME ASK MY COUNCIL MEMBERS WHAT Y'ALL WOULD LIKE TO, WHAT YOU ALL WOULD LIKE TO DO. YOU WANT TO? I THINK WE HAVE THREE OPTIONS ON THE TABLE NOW. GIVE THEM SOME MORE TIME TO TALK, LOOK AT THE ITEM AND GIVE THEM SOME MORE TIME TO TALK TONIGHT. AND THEN WE BRING THE ITEM BACK, WHICH MEANS WE WOULD NEED TO LOOK AT THE HANDOUTS.

THAT'S ONE TWO DUE TO POSTPONEMENT. THREE AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE

[00:15:02]

BETWEEN ALL THE PARTIES AND NOT HAVE TO COME BACK TO US. WHAT ARE YOU ALL THOUGHTS AND COMMENTS ON THAT ON THE MATTER? I HAVE A QUESTION FIRST. SO WHAT COULD POTENTIALLY TAKE PLACE IS THAT BY US ALLOWING THE CITY MANAGER TO MOVE FORWARD AT THE SAME TIME, THE WORDING AND DOCUMENTATION THAT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED WILL STILL TAKE PLACE? YES, THE DOCUMENT WOULD BE UPDATED ACCORDINGLY TO REFLECT ALL AT THE SAME TIME. YES MA'AM. WHICH YOU IN ESSENCE WOULD BE DOING IS YOU WOULD BE APPROVING AS TO FORM. SO BASICALLY IT'S THE FORM THAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU.

THAT'S WHY THERE WOULDN'T BE NO REASON FOR YOU TO POSTPONE IT BECAUSE IT'S AS IS. YOU HAVE THE BACKUP, YOU HAVE THE FORM. AS LONG AS YOU'RE IN AGREEMENT WITH HOW IT'S WRITTEN, THEN WE WOULD COME BACK AND MAKE ANY ADDITIONAL REVISIONS TO IT. THANK YOU. OKAY, I HAVE A QUESTION. WE'RE GETTING THIS NOW, BUT THE GENTLEMAN JUST GOT THROUGH SAYING THAT THEY JUST HASHED ALL THIS OUT TODAY. SO THERE WAS AN EASEMENT ORIGINALLY CIRCULATED A FEW WEEKS AGO, AND IT WAS REVIEWED BY OUR ENGINEER. SOMEHOW THERE OTHER DEVELOPER'S ENGINEER DROPPED OFF THE EMAIL CHAIN, SO SHE WAS UNABLE TO VIEW THESE DOCUMENTS, AND SHE BROUGHT IT TO MY ATTENTION YESTERDAY THAT THE PATH PROVIDED IS NOT ADEQUATE FOR WHAT THEY NEED. SO LANDMARK WORKED VERY QUICKLY TO PROVIDE AN UPDATED DOCUMENT THAT PROVIDES WHAT THEY THOUGHT WOULD BE ADEQUATE, WHICH WE'VE NOW BEEN INFORMED AFTER HOUR LONG MEETING TODAY, RIGHT BEFORE FIVE, THAT IT MAY NOT BE SO. THE GOAL NOW IS TO JUST HAVE BOTH PARTIES WORK TOGETHER TO FIND A SOLUTION. THAT'S BENEFICIAL TO BOTH PARTIES THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO PROCEED. OKAY, SO WHAT KIND OF WORDING DO WE NEED TO HAVE THIS TO GO AHEAD AND LET THE CITY MANAGER HANDLE THIS. THE MOTION WOULD BE TO APPROVE THE EASEMENT AS TO FORM AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO FINALIZE THE EASEMENT WITH THE CHANGES RIGHT. IT'S FINALIZED WITH ANY REVISIONS NECESSARY. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. MAYOR.

COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ACCEPT. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER THREE AS TO FORM AND ALLOW THE CITY MANAGER TO FINALIZE THE EASEMENT WITH ANY REVISIONS THAT ARE NECESSARY O THAT ARE AUTHORIZED. AUTHORIZED SO THAT HE HE CAN AUTHORIZE THE. YOU'RE AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER. OKAY, WELL, Y'ALL KNOW WHAT RIGHT? WE GOT IT AUTHORIZED. YOU AUTHORIZED THE CITY MANAGER. THE CITY MANAGER TO DO THIS THINGY WITH ANY REVISIONS. SO WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR. WHERE COUNCILMAN WALLACE, IS THERE A SECOND? IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND FOR DISCUSSION. OKAY. SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN, FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES. WHAT'S YOUR COMMENTS? I GUESS I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE ISSUE IS LYING. I'M TRYING TO. IF IT THE FAULT IS ON OUR END, THAT WE DID NOT THAT WE DROPPED THEM OFF OF THE CHAIN, OR DID THE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THEM TO ONE OF THE ONE TO THE OTHER PARTY DROP THEM OFF THE CHAIN? I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THEY'RE LIED. I PERSONALLY WAS NOT SENDING EASEMENTS BACK AND FORTH, AS I DO NOT DRAFT THEM NOR CREATE THE EXHIBITS. SO I COULDN'T TELL YOU HOW THEY DROPPED OFF OR WHEN. BUT WHEN THE ENGINEER WAS SENT THE DOCUMENTATION AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS WEEK, THEY TURNED AROUND THEIR COMMENTS VERY QUICKLY. SO. I THINK THE QUESTION IS, COUNSEL. WELL, I THINK WHAT WE'RE WHAT WE'RE FACING WITH IS WE HAVE ONE PARTY THAT'S READY TO GO. WE HAVE THE CITY AND SAYING, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOOD, BUT WE NEED TO. BUT WE GOT A

[00:20:08]

LANGUAGE ISSUE AND THEN WE HAVE ANOTHER PART THAT'S SAYING WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MORE TIME TO LOOK AT THE INFORMATION THAT CAME FORWARD. THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR SAYS, WE ARE APPROVING WHATEVER MR. MOORE WORKS OUT BETWEEN ALL THE PARTIES. CORREC. OKAY. IN ESSENCE, YES, SIR. BUT YOU'RE APPROVING THE EASEMENT ITSELF. THAT'S IN YOUR BACKUP. YES. AS TO THE AS TO FORM, THEN WITH ANY REVISIONS, MR. MOORE WOULD BE THE ONE AUTHORIZED TO EXECUTE. OKAY. SO WHAT BASICALL, THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR MEANS WHATEVER THEY WORK OUT DOES NOT HAVE TO COME BACK TO US. IS DOES EVERYONE ON THE SAME PAGE OF THAT? YEAH. OKAY. NOW, MR. VASQUEZ, CAN YOU COME BACK? YEAH. JUST JUST TO CLARIFY, I THINK THE ISSUE FOR OUR CLIENT IS WHEN THE NEW EASEMENT CAME BACK TODAY, A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND, THE ADJACENT TRACT OWNER IS GOING TO BE TAPPING INTO THIS WASTEWATER LINE. AND SO WE HAVE AN ENGINEER WITH KIMLEY-HORN TODAY AND THERE'S SOME ENGINEERING TECHNICALITY ISSUES WE HAVE TO WORK OUT. AND JUST WE NEEDED MORE TIME TO REVIEW THAT BEFORE THE CITY GRANTS THE EASEMENT AND AUTHORIZES IT BEFORE WE KIND OF GO BACK BEFORE AND CART BEFORE THE HORSE TYPE OF SITUATION. SO WE NEED TIME WITH THE ENGINEERS TO REVIEW. THIS ALL CAME FAST, IS REALLY UNANTICIPATED THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED. SO WE JUST NEEDED WE'RE ASKING FOR MORE TIME. THAT'S WHY WE ASKED FOR THE POSTPONEMENT UNTIL THE 18TH.

BUT WITH THAT SAID, I THINK WE CAN TALK WITH THE CITY MANAGER AND IF IT'S APPROVED. AS TO FORM, DOES THAT MEAN WE CAN MAKE REVISIONS TO THE METES AND BOUNDS IF NEEDED AND EVERYTHING ELSE? WE JUST DON'T HAVE TO COME BACK TO CITY COUNCIL? OH, SORRY. YEAH, YOU CAN ANSWER THEM. YEAH, YOU CAN ANSWER. YOU CAN COME AND ANSWER IT. YEAH. AND I WOULD SAY TO COUNCIL BEFORE VERONICA RESPONDS, YEAH. IS THAT, YOU KNOW WITH THE EASEMENT BEING DEDICATED, PART OF THE PLAT, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE THERE'S, THERE'S ANOTHER OPTION THAT WE LOOKED AT, BUT IT'S NOT FEASIBLE ECONOMICAL OR IT WOULD LOSE MORE TIME. AND SO WHAT IT'S BEEN DEDICATED AND I THINK FRANK HAS SOME EXHIBITS TO SHARE IF WE NEED TO BE SHOWN FOR THE RECORD. THAT WAY YOU CAN SEE EXACTLY WHAT EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. AND AGAIN, WHATEVER WOULD COME BACK, I WOULD JUST SAY FOR THE RECORD, I WOULD HAVE AN ISSUE BRINGING IT BACK FOR THE RECORD TO SHOW IT GOT WORKED OUT. SO IT PAPERS, BECAUSE IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO SHOW THE FINAL RESULTS WON'T COME BACK AS WE DID. WE DID SOMETHING WITHOUT TRANSPARENCY FOR TRANSPARENCY SAKE, WE CAN SAY THIS IS WHAT NEEDS TO BE WORKED OUT SO THAT WAY WE CAN HAVE A PATH FORWARD WITHOUT HAVING THE COMMERCIAL PROJECT HAVE TO GO THROUGH ANOTHER POTENTIAL 2 OR 3 YEAR ORDEAL TO TRY TO GET A SEWER LINE EASEMENT. SO THIS WOULD ALLOW THE EASEMENT THAT'S DEDICATED TO ALLOW US TO BE ABLE TO PUT IT IN, BUT ALSO MAKE SURE THE METES AND BOUNDS ARE PERFECTLY LAID OUT SO IT DOESN'T COME BACK AS A AS AN OVERSIGHT OR MISHAP FROM THE CITY. YOU KNOW, WHAT I DID WAS GO AHEAD AND ASK FOR THE MODIFIED BACKUP SO YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND SAY WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SAY. SO I CAN SUMMARIZE BRIEFLY THE. THE FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS THAT WE REALLY COMMENCED UPON DURING THE MEETING TODAY, WE WERE PROVIDED WITH INFORMATION FROM THE DEVELOPER'S ENGINEER, AND WE RAN A COUPLE OF ALTERNATE SCENARIOS. ONE SCENARIO WOULD RESULT IN A WASTEWATER LINE BEING ABOUT A FOOT ABOVE THE FLOW LINE OF THE CREEK WHERE IT CROSSES THE CREEK, WHICH IS NOT OPTIMAL. GENERALLY, WE TRY AND AVOID CREEK CROSSINGS OR ELEVATED LINES WHEREVER POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF THE CHANCE OF THEM GETTING WASHED OUT. THE OTHER ALTERNATIVE, WITH A MINOR CHANGE IN ALIGNMENT, WOULD GO INSTEAD OF SOUTH AROUND THE POND. WE GO NORTH AROUND THE LITTLE POND. THAT ONE. IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S FEASIBLE FROM A GRADING ANALYSIS, BUT THERE'S SOME BOX CULVERTS THAT THE DEVELOPER IS GOING TO BE RUNNING THROUGH THERE, AND WE NEED TO KNOW MORE. WE HAVE NO INFORMATION ON THEIR ELEVATION, SO WE DON'T KNOW IF IT CONFLICTS WITH THAT GRAVITY LINE TO BE ABLE TO GET IT THROUGH. SO WE COULD EVALUATE THAT PRETTY QUICKLY. IF THE DEVELOPER'S ENGINEER HAS THAT INFORMATION AND CAN PROVIDE IT TO US. WE WORK, WE WORKED OUT BOTH ELEVATIONS POST THIS AFTERNOON'S MEETING. IT WAS A SCRAMBLE TO TRY AND GET EVERYTHING ANALYZED AS QUICKLY AS WE COULD. SO BOTH OPTIONS APPEAR TO BE ABLE TO WORK. I CAN SAY THE ONE WITH THE ELEVATED SECTION WOULD PHYSICALLY WORK AS

[00:25:11]

FAR AS MAKING DAYLIGHT IN BETWEEN THE CONSTRAINTS OF ELEVATION, SO WE COULD GET IT TO DRAIN INTO THE EXISTING GRAVITY LINE. BUT AGAIN, THAT WOULD BE ABOUT A FOOT ABOVE THE BOTTOM OF THE CREEK, AND SO YOU'D HAVE AN EXPOSED WASTEWATER LINE RUNNING ACROSS A CREEK, WHICH CAN BE DONE. IT'S REALLY WE DON'T LIKE TO DO IT BECAUSE OF THE VULNERABILITY OF THAT FACILITY POSSIBLY GETTING WASHED OUT BY A FLOOD EVENT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THE OTHER ALTERNATIVE, AGAIN, IT'S FEASIBLE FROM A GRADE PERSPECTIVE, BUT WE'RE LACKING THE INFORMATION ON THEIR ON THEIR DRAINAGE STRUCTURES THAT WOULD CROSS THAT ALIGNMENT TO BE ABLE TO SAY DEFINITIVELY THAT WE WON'T HAVE A CONFLICT THAT WOULD PREVENT IT FROM BEING FEASIBLE. WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE INFORMATION IS ON THOSE BOX CULVERT ELEVATIONS, WHICH IF THEY HAVE IT AND COULD PROVIDE IT, WE COULD EVALUATE THAT PRETTY QUICKLY. BUT THEY'RE JUST WE DIDN'T WE DIDN'T HAVE THIS INFORMATION IN TIME TO BE ABLE TO EVALUATE IT TODAY. OKAY. SO COUNCIL MEMBERS, WE DO HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR. DO YOU. HOLD ON SIR. CURRENT ONE IS TO PASS IT OFF AND WORK FROM THERE.

DO YOU ALL FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH WHAT YOU'VE HEARD AND WHAT YOU'RE SEEING, OR DO YOU WANT TO BRING THIS ITEM BACK AND ALLOW THEM TO HAVE SOME CONVERSATIONS? BEFORE WE GO INTO EXECUTIVE MAYOR, I ACTUALLY WAS ME. ME PERSONALLY, I WAS THINKING MORE ON THE LINES OF WHAT YOU BROUGHT UP EARLIER ABOUT THEM DISCUSSING THAT OUT THERE AND COMING BACK. CORRECT. OKAY. SO OKAY, SO WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR. THAT MOTION NEEDS TO BE VOTED UPON. AND THEN WE WOULD NEED TO TAKE ANOTHER. IF THAT FAILS THEN WE TAKE A MOTION A DIFFERENT MOTION. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. CAN YOU JUST. YES MA'AM. MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS, YOU HAVE A REQUEST TO HOLD OFF SO YOU COULD VOTE. THAT COULD BE THAT IF AMENDED ITEM WOULD BE AN ALTERNATIVE MOTION. OKAY. AND SO IF SHE GETS A SECOND THEN YOU COULD WAIT AND HOLD TO TAKE ACTION. BECAUSE ONCE YOU TAKE ACTION ON THIS THAT CAN'T BE BROUGHT BACK AGAIN. OKAY. BECAUSE I THINK HOLD ON. SORRY WE GOT YOU. SO WE HAVE A ALTERNATE MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM HILL IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY SECOND. SORRY, SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN WEIR. ANY QUESTIONS TO THAT MOTION? LET ME SAY WHAT THE ALTERNATE MOTION IS ON THE TABLE, WHICH IS TO INSTEAD OF DOING WHAT WE'VE ALREADY DONE, BUT WE WOULD ACTUALLY ALLOW FOR THE PARTIES THAT ARE PRESENT RIGHT NOW TO STEP OUT OF THE ROOM, HAVE SOME DISCUSSIONS. WE WOULD MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR AGENDA, THEN COME BACK LATER ON AND BRING ITEM NUMBER THREE BACK UP TO TABLE TO TABLE AND UNTIL LATER IN THIS MEETING. GOOD. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT THE ALTERNATE MOTION, WHICH IS THE TITLE THREE UNTIL LATER IN THE MEETING? OKAY. ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSE. ALL RIGHT. SO WE'LL HOLD OFF ON THE AGENDA ITEMS RELATING TO ENGINEERING SO THAT YOU ALL CAN STEP OUT AND COME TO SOME CONSENSUS, AND WE'LL COME BACK TO IT AFTER ITEM 14. I GIVE Y'ALL SOME TIME TO TALK AND GET ON THE SAME PAGE. ALL RIGHT. SO WE'RE GOING TO THAT BEING SAID, WE'LL JUMP TO ITEM NUMBER NINE CONSIDERATION DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR THE NEW STATE FARM INSURANCE AGENCY IN MAYNARD, TEXAS. MR. JONES. MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE HAVE A NEW BUSINESS IN TOWN. STEPHEN MILLER HAS A STATE FARM AGENCY. HE'S FROM BATON ROUGE. BEEN THERE WITH THE STATE FARM BUSINESS FOR FIVE YEARS, AND HE HAS RENTED A BUSINESS HERE AT 310 MURRAY STREET AND THE TWO STORY OFFICE BUILDING. AND HE CAME TO ME WITH

[00:30:05]

AN APPLICATION FOR ASSISTANCE. HE'S PAYING, AS YOUR APPLICATION STATES, HE'S PAYING ABOUT 4500 A MONTH IN RENT THERE, AT LEAST 1500 SQUARE FEET FROM KERALA CASTLE ON THE LANDLORD AND HE COMPLETED ALL OF THE DOCUMENTATION NECESSARY PURSUANT TO THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. MET WITH ME, MET WITH THE SBDC AND PROVIDED ALL THE DOCUMENTATION NECESSARY, INCLUDING THE BUSINESS PLAN, MARKET ANALYSIS AND FINANCIALS, AND SO HE'S COME AND CAME TO ME, AND I'M COMING TO YOU TONIGHT WITH THE DOCUMENTATION NECESSARY, REQUESTING HIS COMPLETION OF ALL THE DOCUMENTATION AND A REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE FOR THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, WHICH WOULD IF AWARDED, AMOUNT TO A TOTAL OF $7,498 TO BE REIMBURSED MONTHLY UPON REQUEST AFTER PROOF OF PAYMENT TO HIS LANDLORD AND RECEIVE RECEIPTS TAKEN BY THE CITY. AND THAT WOULD GIVE HIM HOW MUCH A YEAR'S WORTH OR IT'S YEAH, THAT WOULD BE 12 MONTHS WORTH IN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS IS 750 A MONTH. AND THEN IT'S REDUCED LIKE 12% PER MONTH FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS. OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND I DON'T KNOW, I THINK YOU ALL JUST RECEIVED THE BACKUP INFORMATION BY EMAIL LATER THIS EVENING. I HAVE A COPY OF IT HERE. IF Y'ALL WANT TO PASS THIS AROUND, TAKE A LOOK AT IT. I'LL TAKE THE PACKAGE. WE'RE GOING TO PASS IT NOW. I DIDN'T MAKE EVERYBODY A COPY WITH Y'ALL HAD GOTTEN THAT EMAI. ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCIL MEMBERS.

I HAVE A QUESTION. YES. MR. JONES, WHAT IS THE CRITERIA TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT UP TO THE MAX? IT'S UP TO $750 A MONTH. THAT'S THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT THEY CAN GET. AND SO IT IS THE TOTAL AMOUNT I THINK IT'S 50% UP TO $750. SO IF THEY GET $1,500, IF IT'S OVER THAT THEY ONLY GET 750. SO HE'S AT 4500 RIGHT NOW. SO HE ONLY GETS 750 TOTAL REIMBURSEMENT FOR THAT FIRST SIX MONTHS. THEN IT GOES DOWN BY 12% PER MONTH AFTER THAT. FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS. AND IT'S A TOTAL OF $7,498 OVER THE FULL YEAR. I HAVE A QUESTION. YES. THE LAST AGREEMENT FROM THIS PROGRAM, WHAT WAS APPROVED FOR THAT ONE? YOU ALL APPROVED SIX MONTHS, AND SHE'S ACTUALLY HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE IT'S BEEN SIX MONTHS AND SHE'S HERE TO ASK FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS, WHICH YOU ALL APPROVED THE FIRST SIX MONTHS LAST TIME. THAT WAS THE FIRST OF THESE PROGRAMS THAT YOU ALL HAD APPROVED, AND YOU APPROVED THE FIRST SIX MONTHS. AND IT'S A ORIGINALLY IT WAS SET UP TO BE A 12 MONTH PROGRAM, AND YOU ALL APPROVED THE FIRST SIX MONTHS TO SEE HOW THE BUSINESS DID. AND THEN SHE'S COMING BACK TONIGHT TO ASK FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS. SO YOU SO WHY IS THIS ONE 7500 A MONTH FOR SIX MONTHS? LAST TIME IT CAME LAST TIME IT CAME FOR 12 MONTHS. YEAH. SHE CAME FOR 12 MONTHS. YEAH. WE DECIDED BASED OFF OF WHATEVER THE CONVERSATION WAS IN THE DATE AT THAT TIME, TO DO THE SIX MONTHS AND THEN SEE WHAT THE NEED WOULD BE FROM THERE. SO THAT'S WHY IT'S COMING BACK NOW. IT'S BECAUSE WE THAT'S WHAT WE ASKED FOR. YEAH. YOU WANTED TO SEE HOW THE BUSINESS WENT AND SUCH. THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS AND SEE HOW THE BUSINESS WENT.

AND SO SHE'S ACTUALLY HERE IN THE AUDIENCE TONIGHT AND COMING BACK FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS, BECAUSE THAT WAS IN JUNE. AND NOW THIS IS DECEMBER. THAT'S THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS YOU'RE ASKING ABOUT YOU'RE ASKING HISTORICAL CONTEXT BECAUSE JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE TRYING TO REMEMBER WHY WE DID DOING 12 RIGHT NOW VERSUS YEAH, OKAY. THAT'S WHAT THE PROGRAM ALL OF THEM ARE FOR. YEAH. ALL OF THEM ARE FOR THE YEAR BECAUSE THAT'S IN OUR POLICY. WE MADE AN ADJUSTMENT THEN BECAUSE OF THAT SPECIFIC ONE CASE. BUT ALL THE APPLICATIONS WILL ALWAYS COME TO US AS A YEAR. AND THEN WE HAVE THE DISCRETION BASED OFF OF THE INFORMATION PRESENTED TO MAKE A DETERMINATION OF HOW LONG IN THAT KIND OF STUFF AND THAT WAS THE FIRST ONE Y'ALL HAD EVER

[00:35:01]

APPROVED. WAS WAS EAST ISLES, BECAUSE THE OTHER ONES THAT WERE BROUGHT TO US THAT WEREN'T OR INCOMPLETE OR OR DIDN'T QUALIFY. OKAY. ALSO COUNCIL, I WANTED TO ADD ON TO THAT ONE BECAUSE I THINK FROM WHAT I REMEMBER, ALSO NOT SO MUCH AS HOW WELL THE BUSINESS WAS GOING TO DO, BUT IT WAS THE GOING RATE FOR RENTAL PROPERTIES IN ORDER FOR BUSINESSES TO BE ABLE TO RENT HERE, IT SEEMED TO BE AT A RATE TO WHERE, ACCORDING TO THE FORMULA, IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO MEET THAT MAX AMOUNT, IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY ONE WOULD PROBABLY MEET THAT MAX BECAUSE THE LANDLORDS FOR THESE BUSINESSES ARE AT A RATE THAT'S HIGHER THAN WHAT WE HAVE ANYWAY. AND SO IT WAS THE THOUGHT WAS IN BETWEEN THAT TIME, WITHIN THAT SIX MONTHS, WE WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO SOME OF THE LANDLORDS IN OUR THAT ARE HERE IN MAYNARD, BECAUSE WE WANT THEM TO OFFER MORE. IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT COULD BE OFFERED MORE FOR OUR BUSINESSES TO COME AND BE ABLE TO PROSPER AND BE SUCCESSFUL HERE ALSO, BECAUSE WHAT WE OFFERING HERE, IT'S A SMALL PIECE, BUT IT'S ONLY FOR 12 MONTHS. AND SO FOR THEM TO BE SUCCESSFUL FOR THE REST OF THE TIME, THERE'S NOT AN INCENTIVE UNLESS THERE IS ONE. BUT THERE'S NOT AN INCENTIVE FOR THE EVEN FOR THE RENTAL PRICE ONGOING FOR THEM TO FOR IT TO BE REASONABLE FOR, ESPECIALLY WITH THE FLUCTUATION OF THE ECONOMY. SO WE WANTED THEM TO DO BETTER, BUT IT WAS TO BRING THAT CONVERSATION AND TO LIGHT THE BUSINESSES THAT I'VE TALKED TO, THEY WOULD LIKE MORE. I CAN TELL YOU, BECAUSE THE RENTAL RATES ARE VERY HIGH IN TOWN. YEAH, SHE'S MEANING THE LANDLORDS THOUGH. YEAH. THE INTENTION WAS TO FIND IT WAS THE SEE HOW THEY CAN GET THE LANDLORDS TO BE.

MORE FLEXIBLE IN THE RATES THAT THEY'RE CHARGING. AND THAT'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. I MEAN THAT'S GOING TO THAT'S WHY IT'S GOING TO BE ON US TO CREATE THOSE INCUBATOR SPACES. YEAH. SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT. SO MARKET PHENOMENON AND YOU KNOW, IF THEY IF THEY I GUESS IF THEY IF THEY CAN'T GET IT HERE, THEY'LL GET IT DOWN THE ROAD. SO YOU KNOW THAT THAT'S THE UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCE OF BEING ANYWHERE THESE DAYS THAT THEY'LL, THEY'LL GET WHAT THEY CAN FOR A BUILDING OR THEY'LL BUILD IT SOMEWHERE ELSE AND THEY'LL GET IT THERE. SO YEAH, WE'RE FACED WITH THAT SITUATION RIGHT NOW. WE ARE. AND I DEFINITELY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT IF THEY'RE GOING TO CHARGE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE BUILDING WHO ARE GOING TO BE RENTING FROM THEM. I DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM ALSO, GETTING SOME TYPE OF BREAK FROM FROM ANOTHER END ALSO. SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE IT'S A WIN WIN FOR THEM AND NOT ONE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY RENTING IN THE SPACE. WHAT DO YOU MEAN TAX BREAKS? TAX INCENTIVES, TAX INCENTIVES. PLUS GETTING A LITTLE SOMETHING INCENTIVE FOR THEM. I DON'T WANT THEM TO GET THAT. BUT THEN ALSO STILL CHARGING OUR PEOPLE WHO ARE RENTING. YEAH, THAT FULL PRICE. YEAH. DULY NOTED. YEAH.

AND IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS THERE ARE YOU KNOW, IT'S COMPLEX BECAUSE IN A SITUATION LIKE WE HAVE LIKE THE BUTLER PROPERTY WHERE THE DEVELOPER IS GRANTED THE TAX BREAKS AND PUTS IT INTO THE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE BUILDING, AND THEN NONE OF THAT GETS PASSED ON TO THE TENANT.

AND SO THE TENANT COMES IN, THE MONEY'S BEEN SPENT ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE, DEVELOPING EVERYTHING UNDER THE PARKING LO. AND THEN THE BUILDINGS GET BUILT AND, AND THE TENANT COMES IN AND THEY PAY FOR THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS AND SUCH, AND THEN THEY GO IN AND RENT THE SPACE AT A PRETTY HIGH RATE. AND THEN THEY DON'T GET ANY INCENTIVES AT ALL. YEAH. SO BUT THOSE PARTICULAR WERE YEAH, THOSE ARE, THOSE ARE THE MEDIUM TO LARGE SIZED BUSINESSES THAT WE, WE, WE DID THE 380 WITH THAT DEVELOPER TO GET THOSE BUSINESSES THERE BECAUSE WE KNEW THAT THEY COULD AFFORD IT AND SUSTAIN THE WORK THAT'S HAPPENING THERE. AND IT'S NATIONAL COMPANIES WHO CAN AFFORD TO PAY THAT MUCH FOR. YEAH, THESE PARTICULAR SPACES THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ARE, YOU KNOW, SMALLER MOM AND POP LLCS THAT DON'T HAVE LARGE CHAINS, BUT THEY'RE THEY'RE TRYING TO BRING IN BUSINESSES THEMSELVES FOR THEIR PROPERTY, AND THEY DON'T TYPICALLY GET THE THREE 80S OR ANY OTHER INCENTIVES. AND SO YEAH, SO IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE IF WE'RE NOT IF SOMEONE DOES IT ON THEIR OWN, THEY DON'T COME TO US FOR ANY DOLLARS, THEN THEY'RE GOING TO DO WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO. AND SO FOR US AS A CITY, WE HAVE TO AND ON OUR ECONOMIC

[00:40:06]

DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETINGS, WE'RE TALKING A LOT ABOUT SUSTAINING THE SMALL BUSINESSES.

AND SO FOR THAT TO HAPPEN, WE'RE EITHER GOING TO HAVE TO SET ASIDE A FUND, A LARGER FUND, YOU KNOW, TO DO THAT OR WE HAVE OUR WE CREATE THE INCUBATOR SPACES, SHOPPING STRIPS OR WHATEVER IT MAY BE SO THAT WE CAN CONTROL THOSE RENTS. YEAH, THERE NEEDS TO BE A PATHWAY FOR THOSE BUSINESSES BECAUSE THEY GET EDGED OUT BY THE BIG CORPORATIONS AND THE LARGE CHAINS AND SUCH, AND THEY DON'T HAVE A WHERE TO WAIT, A PLACE TO GO. SO THIS TYPE OF PROGRAM INCENTIVIZES THEM. SO THEY DO SO THEY CAN MAKE IT. AND THE RENTAL PROGRAM IS GOOD FOR NOW. BUT IF THE RENTAL PROGRAM FUNDS WENT TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF A SPACE THAT WE OWNED AND CONTROLLED, THEN WE COULD DO IT LONGER THAN A YEAR. WE COULD WE COULD EVEN SURROUND THEM WITH CHAMBER SUPPORT WHEN BUILDING, YOU KNOW, ENSURING THAT THEIR MARKETING PLANS AND ALL THOSE KINDS OF THINGS ARE WHAT THEY NEED TO BE TO, TO BE SUCCESSFUL. AND THEN GROW THEM, GROW THEM OUT OF THE SPACE AND THEN RINSE, CYCLE AND REPEAT, YOU KNOW, KIND OF THING. SO YEAH, I RAN AN INCUBATOR BEFORE AND WE GIVE THEM AT LEAST TWO YEARS RENT AND, AND, YOU KNOW, MONITORED AS THEY WENT. BUT WE GIVE THEM TWO YEARS AT A LOW, LOW COST RENTAL. AND THEN ONCE THEY GOT UP TO SPEED THEN, YOU KNOW, WE HOPEFULLY GET THEM OUT ON THEIR OWN IN AN, IN ANOTHER SPACE. OKAY. SO YOU ALL FOR MAKE SURE WE'RE MOVING DOWN TO OUR AGENDA. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR ITEM. SO WE GOT 7498 WITH THE REQUEST. IS THE FINANCIAL REQUEST WITH A 12 MONTH PAYOUT WITH A REDUCTION AFTER FOUR MONTHS, SEVEN THROUGH 12 BY ALMOST 12%. AND THE BUSINESS DID JUST MOVE IN 1ST OF DECEMBER. SO WE'LL TAKE A MOTION. YOU CAN YOUR MOTION CAN BE MODIFIED OR CAN BE THE EXACT ONE THAT'S THAT'S RECOMMENDED BY STAFF. IF YOU HAVE SOME MORE PRESSING QUESTIONS YOU CAN ASK THAT AS WELL.

Y'ALL THANK YOU. AND THESE FUNDS ARE BUDGETED. AND THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BUDGET BY THE WAY.

AND THANK YOU FOR APPROVING THOSE. MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE A GRANT TO STEVEN MILLER, STATE FARM AGENCY, IN THE AMOUNT OF $7,498 REIMBURSED MONTHLY. MONTHLY, UPON REQUEST FROM THE OWNER AFTER PROOF OF PAYMENT TO LANDLORD IS RECEIVED BY THE CITY. WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY COUNCILWOMAN. ANY QUESTIONS? IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND, SECOND? BY COUNCILMAN MORENO? ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? MY QUESTION IS IN THE WORDING. WE'RE GOING TO GIVE HIM 7000 MONTHLY OR OVER THE COURSE OF THE 12 MONTHS. THAT'S THE TOTAL. THAT'S THE TOTAL 7498 TOTAL. IT'S 750 MONTHLY FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS. AND THEN A DECREASING BALANCE BY 12% EVERY MONTH FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS. OKAY. TOTAL 74.980. I'M JUST SAYING THAT THE WORDING SAYS IN THE AMOUNT OF $7,498 REIMBURSED MONTHLY, THAT'S THAT'S THE TOTAL. IT'S REIMBURSED MONTHLY. THE TOTAL AMOUNT IS REIMBURSED ON A MONTHLY BASIS. WHEN THEY PAY THE RENT. SO YOU GET THAT BACK, YOU YOU GET THEY GET THAT AMOUNT TOTAL. BUT IT'S REIMBURSED ON A MONTHLY BASIS AS THEY PAY THEIR RENT. AND THE AMOUNT OF THE REIMBURSEMENT IS 750 A MONTH FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS. AND THEN AFTER THAT IT REDUCED BY 12. SO I THINK WHAT COUNCILWOMAN IS ASKING, ASKING THE THOSE OF YOU WHO MADE THE MOTION IS FOR HER SAKE, WILL YOU ADD IN SOME SPECIFICITY IN YOUR MOTION? Y'ALL WILLING TO AMEND THAT? CAN I INCLUDE AS PRESENTED

[00:45:01]

IN THE BACKUP DOCUMENTS? IT IS. THAT'S WHAT YOU WANTED. SHE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE LANGUAGE CONNECTS TO THE TO THE BACKUP. ALL YOU'D NEED TO DO IS AFTER YOU HAVE THE MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS, AFTER THE AMOUNT OF $7,498, JUST STATE, JUST A STATE THAT TO BE REIMBURSED THAT AMOUNT TO BE REIMBURSED MONTHLY OR I'M SORRY THAT THAT THAT IS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT AND IT WILL BE REIMBURSED MONTHLY FOR THE NEXT 12 MONTHS. IT'S UP ON IT'S UP ON THE TOP AS WELL. THANK YOU. SCOTT. SO WHAT IF WE WHAT IF SHE SAYS THE TOTAL AMOUNT TO BE RAISED MONTHLY BY THE SCHEDULE IN THE BACK OF THE DOCUMENTATION, THE PREFERENCE WOULD BE IF YOU COULD SPECIFY THERE'S A PARAGRAPH UP ABOVE IN THE SUMMARY FORM WHERE IT STATE. YEAH. JUST READ THAT ONE. YOU SEE WHERE IT IS. YES OKAY, OKAY. I'D LIKE TO, I GUESS, AMEND MY MOTION TO READ TO APPROVE THE GRANT TO STEVEN MILLER, STATE FARM AGENCY. FOR THE MAXIMUM OF 750 PER MONTH FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS, WITH THE DECLINING BALANCE THEREAFTER, RENTAL FOR RENTAL ASSISTANCE TO BE REIMBURSED MONTHLY UPON REQUEST FROM THE OWNER AFTER PROOF OF PAYMENT TO THE LANDLORD IS RECEIVED BY THE CITY. FOR THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF 7400 OR $7498, WE HAVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION. IS IT STILL SECOND? SECOND BY MR. MORENO, ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? SEEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSE. WHICH ONE? OPPOSE.

OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES. SIX. 252. OKAY. MOTION PASSES FIVE TWO. MOVING FORWARD. SORRY FOR THE MISCOMMUNICATION ON THE LANGUAGE. NO WORRIES. MOVING FORWARD TO ITEM NUMBER TEN.

CONSIDERATION. DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION ON GRANTING SECOND SIX MONTHS OF CITY'S RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR STYLES. OKAY. YEAH. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL. WE HAVE EDITH VILLAREAL IS HERE TONIGHT WITH STYLES. AND YOU ALL ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE BUSINESS AND APPROVED THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF HER RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM BACK IN JUNE. AND SHE'S COMING TONIGHT WITH SHE WAS ABOUT, OH, ALMOST FIVE MONTHS DELAYED IN OPENING HER BUSINESS BECAUSE OF PERMITTING ISSUES AND GETTING A CO AND SO SHE TOUGHED IT OUT AND GOT TO OPEN HER BUSINESS. AND SHE'S I THINK SHE'S BEEN VERY TIRED LATELY WORKING ABOUT 60 HOURS A WEEK TO CATCH UP. BUT SHE'S HERE TONIGHT AND HAS ASKED ME TO COME BACK. I ACTUALLY ASKED ASKED HER I GUESS IF SHE WANTED THE HELP FOR THE ADDITIONAL SIX MONTHS, AND SHE SAID SHE COULD REALLY USE THAT RIGHT NOW. SO SHE'S HERE TONIGHT TO ASK FOR THE ADDITIONAL SIX MONTHS. I HAVE A SCHEDULE THERE IN FRONT OF YOU, SO IT'S NOT TOO CONFUSING. AND THE TOTAL AMOUNT BEING $2,998 FOR THE SECOND SIX MONTHS. AND THE RENTAL REIMBURSEMENT FOR MONTHS SEVEN THROUGH 12 IS SHOWN TO YOU IN THE AMOUNTS SHOWN IN THE SCHEDULE. SO WE RECOMMEND HER. HER BUSINESS IS DOING WELL. SHE SENT ME SOME SOME SCHEDULES. I COULDN'T BLOW THEM UP BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE SOFTWARE TO BE ABLE TO OPEN THEM UP, BUT I WAS ABLE TO OPEN UP THE THUMBNAILS OF THE SCHEDULES AND IT LOOKED LIKE HER BUSINESS HAD TAKEN OFF. AND SHE'S HERE AND CAN ANSWER ANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT. IF YOU'D LIKE, BUT THE STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT YOU APPROVE THE EXTENSION OF THE PREVIOUS GRANT TO THE STYLES, AND AGAIN, IT WOULD BE REIMBURSED MONTHLY AS WELL UPON PAYMENT OF RENT. AND SHE HAS PROVIDED ALL OF THE DOCUMENTATION RECEIPTS FROM THE LANDLORD. AND SHE'S BEEN REIMBURSED THE FIRST SIX MONTHS SO FAR. SO THIS WOULD BE A DECREASING BALANCE FROM WHAT SHE'S BEEN RECEIVING FOR THE SECOND SIX MONTHS. QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? STAFF? I MEAN, COUNCIL MEMBERS. MR. VILLAREAL IS HERE IN CASE YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR HER. HI. SO THIS RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM HAS BEEN HELPING YOU OUT A LOT, HASN'T?

[00:50:01]

YES. WELL, CAN YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF? I'M SORRY. FOR THE RECORD. THERE YOU GO. AND SHE'S A LITTLE SHY. SOCIAL ANXIETY? YEAH. IT'S BEEN HELPING A LOT. IT'S ESPECIALLY AT THE BEGINNING AS. AS THE OWNER, I'M NOT GETTING PAID SALES, SO. IT'S OKAY. YOU KNOW. OKAY. ARE YOU OKAY? OH, YEAH. YEAH. SO SHE'S SHE'S INDICATING IN WHICH I'M AWARE SHE HAS SOCIAL ANXIETY.

IT'S HARD FOR HER TO TALK IN FRONT OF PEOPLE. OKAY, SO THROUGH THOSE SIX MONTHS, SHE'S NOT BEEN PAYING HERSELF TO ADVANCE THE BUSINESS. SO SHE HAD TO HIRE EMPLOYEES, HAD TO GO THROUGH THOSE FIRST 4 OR 5 MONTHS OF NO BUSINESS BEING OPEN. SO THAT MONEY HAS HELPED TREMENDOUSLY TO GET US ON THE RIGHT TRACK FOR US. SO IT'S DEFINITELY A BENEFICIAL PROGRAM.

I REALLY DO LIKE WHAT SHE WAS INDICATING ALSO, BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A HUGE BENEFIT FOR COMPANIES ESPECIALLY, YOU KNOW, SMALLER COMPANIES THAT COME IN TO HAVE ADDITIONAL HELP BECAUSE LANDLORDS ARE NOT GOODS. SO WE STRUGGLE WITH THAT TOO. BUT SO THAT SECOND AMOUNT WOULD DEFINITELY BE FANTASTIC ASSISTANCE. I MEAN, IT'S A GOOD PROGRAM. IT REALLY HELPS. IT'S ALLOWED US TO GET GOING WHERE MOST COMPANIES WOULD HAVE FAILED. THAT AMOUNT ACTUALLY GETS YOU A LITTLE OVER THE HUMP. AND SHE'S BROUGHT PROOF SHOWING GRAPH WISE HOW EVERYTHING'S BEEN INCREASING IN THE SALON. SO IT'S BEEN A BENEFIT. THANK YOU. CAN YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF TO HER HUSBAND MIKE? YEAH. THANK YOU. QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? STAFF I MEAN COUNCILMAN, I KEEP SAYING STAFF COUNCIL MEMBERS. I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION, BUT A COMMENT TO SAY THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR STILL CONSIDERING AND MOVING FORWARD. I'M GLAD THAT IT WAS ABLE TO HELP YOU AND SORRY THAT YOU HAD TO COME BACK TO PRESENT THE SAME CLAIM AGAIN FOR THE SECOND SIX MONTHS. BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU FOR THAT. DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? DO YOU THINK NOW THAT YOU LIKE GOING INTO 2025, DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE A SOLID FOUNDATION AND CLIENTELE AND THAT 100%. SO WE'RE STARTING TO SEE AN INCREASE IN THE COMMUNITY STARTING TO RETURN. SO IN THE BEGINNING, WE INCENTIVIZED THROUGH SOME, YOU KNOW, HEY, IF YOU LIVE HERE, COME IN. YOU GET A DISCOUNT. SOMEONE REFERRED BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. OF COURSE, THE COMMUNITY PAGES AND MAYNARD ARE A PAIN. THERE'S SO MANY RULES. WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME PAST THAT? WE'RE STARTING TO GET THE REPEAT BUSINESS AND MORE AND MORE REFERRALS ARE COMING THROUGH DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS JUST WOMEN LOVE DOING THEIR HAIR. GUYS. SO YEAH. NO, IT'S WE FEEL THAT 2025 IS GOING TO BE REALLY GOOD BECAUSE NOW SHE'LL HAVE THE FULL YEAR REPEAT BUSINESS. SO I THINK SHOULD BE GOOD. I HAVE A GRAPHIC OF HOW IT'S GROWING. YOU GUYS WANT TO SEE THIS. THIS IS REALLY GOOD.

YEAH I DON'T WANT TO CROSS. THIS I STARTED DOWN THERE. YEAH. YEAH. YOU STARTED AT THE END.

YOU CAN SEE FROM JUNE TO NOW WHAT THEIR BUSINESS UPDATE IS THAT. I WILL SAY MAYOR COUNCIL, THE FACT THAT WE HAVE DATA LIKE THIS THAT WE CAN PRESENT HELPS WHEN OTHER SMALL BUSINESSES DO COME AND, AND IT'S THINGS LIKE THIS. YEAH. SHE'S SHE'S GOT THE GRAPH. I NEED ONE OF THOSE. I'M WORKING ON SOME ANALYTICS WITH OUR NEW WEBSITE. OUR WAY RIGHT NOW I THINK IT SHOWS THE BENEFIT OF THE POLICIES THAT YOU PUT IN PLACE. THE MONEY WE SET ASIDE IN BUDGET, AND WE CAN HELP THE HOME GROWN BUSINESSES STEP OUT IN FAITH AND THAT GRAPH COMES THROUGH SQUARE, WHICH IS A MERCHANT SERVICES. IT LAYS IT ALL PERFECTLY. IT SETS IN THE. IT'S VERY IMPRESSIVE. THANK YOU FOR KEEPING RECORDS. YEAH. OH ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS YOURSELVES BEING ABLE TO ENTERTAIN THE THOUGHTS I KNOW MAYNOR ISD HAS A COSMETOLOGY PROGRAM. DO YOU SEE YOURSELVES BEING ABLE TO ENTERTAIN GETTING INVOLVED IN THAT IN SOME WAY TO HELP OUR STUDENTS? ACTUALLY, I HAVE ALREADY BEEN ASKED ABOUT A GIRL THAT WANTS TO DO COSMETOLOGY IN MAYNARD. IF WE WILL BE INTERESTED IN INTERNSHIPS. AND I SAID IF THE PROGRAM ALLOWS IT BECAUSE IN COSMETOLOGY SOMETIMES DOES NOT ALLOW TRAINING GIRLS TO BE TOUCHING THE HAIR OF SOMEONE IF THEY'RE NOT LICENSED BEFORE. SO IF THERE'S AN INTERNSHIP, THEY CAN BE THERE, LIKE AS A SHAMPOO

[00:55:03]

OR JUST LOOKING AT WHAT WE DO AND WHAT I TOLD HER IS IF COSMETOLOGY ALLOWS IT, THE SALON WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE INTERNSHIPS FOR COSMETOLOGY STUDENTS FROM THE MCNARY HIGH SCHOOL. YEAH. THE PROGRAM SHE'S REFERRING TO IS ACTUALLY A STATE LICENSED PROGRAM. SO THE YOUNG LADIES AND GENTLEMEN IN THE PROGRAM WILL ACTUALLY HAVE HAVE THEIR CERTIFICATES AND THEIR LICENSES FOR IT. SO IT'S AN APPROVED PROGRAM. SO THERE'S DEFINITELY SOME I THINK THAT'S WHAT SHE'S TRYING TO CONNECT YOU TO THAT TO THOSE STUDENTS. BECAUSE YOU GET FOLKS THAT SOME STUDENTS THAT CAN HELP OUT IN THOSE SPACES. SO WE WEREN'T GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT, BUT WE'RE GOING TO BRING IT UP. SHE'S CONTEMPLATING OPENING UP A SCHOOL AS WELL. SO SHE'S A MASTER'S SIDE. SHE HAS THE ABILITY AND THE QUALIFICATIONS OF 25 YEARS TO ACTUALLY GET PEOPLE UP TO THE POINT WHERE THEY CAN BE LICENSED. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT EXPANDING THAT, AND THIS WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD GO HAND IN HAND WITH THAT AS WELL. YOU DEFINITELY SHOULD TALK TO WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER WHEELER IS TALKING ABOUT, OR CONNECTING WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT BECAUSE THEY HAVE A LOT OF STUDENTS THAT ARE INTERESTED, BUT THEY HAVE, YOU KNOW, AS YOUR MASTER AND YOUR LICENSE, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S ONLY SO MANY STUDENTS YOU CAN WORK WITH BASED ON YOUR SQUARE FOOTAGE. AND SO HAVING THOSE LIMITATIONS OPENS THAT OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU.

SO BUT YEAH, WE DON'T WANT TO GET OFF TOPIC, BUT JUST THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP, COUNCILWOMAN. WE HAVE SOMETHING FOR Y'ALL TO CONSIDER. ALL RIGHT. CAN WE GET A MOTION? MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO. CAN'T DO IT FAST ENOUGH, MAYOR. COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE EXTENSION OF THE PREVIOUS GRANT TO EAST HILLS IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,998.00 REIMBURSED MONTHLY UPON REQUEST FROM THE OWNER. AFTER THE CITY RECEIVES PROOF OF PAYMENT TO THE LANDLORD. ALL RIGHT. GOT A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER MORENO. ANY QUESTIONS? IS THERE A SECOND? SOMEONE HAS WRITTEN THE SAME WAY AS THAT FIRST ONE. YEAH, WE GOTTA GET THE MOTION FIRST. I SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN. ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? YES. THIS ONE IS WRITTEN THE SAME WAY AS THE FIRST ONE. SO WE NEED THE SAME. COME ON. COUNCIL MEMBER MORENO.

LIKE TO AMEND MY MOTION TO GRAN. THERE'S A TABLE THAT YOU CAN JUST REFER TO IN THE SUMMARY FORM THAT WILL GIVE THE CITY SECRETARY GUIDANCE ON HOW THE MOTION IS WRITTEN IN THE MINUTES. SO JUST FOLLOWING PAYMENT AS PROVIDED IN THE TABLE. YES. GRANT STYLES IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,998 AS PER THE SCHEDULE. PAYMENT SCHEDULE PROVIDED REIMBURSED MONTHLY UPON REQUEST FROM THE OWNER. AFTER THE CITY RECEIVES PROOF OF PAYMENT TO THE LANDLORD. I HAVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION. DO YOU STILL SECOND? YES, I SECOND SECOND HERE. ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? THE AMENDED MOTION BEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES.

CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU AND GOOD CONTINUED LUCK ON YOUR BUSINESS. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER. I THINK WE HAD 11 NOW. WHILE I WAS WAITING FOR THEM TO FINISH. ARE Y'ALL GOOD? OKAY. CAN WE CAN GO BACK TO THREE NOW. YES. OKAY. OR IF THEY IF THEY DO, IF THEY, THEY DON'T NEED TO BE IF Y'ALL ARE GOOD, IF YOU. I JUST NEED SOMEONE TO COME CONFIRM. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. WELL. WHICH ONE ARE YOU DOING? LET'S DO EIGHT OR I WILL WAIT. EIGHT. OH, NO. HOLD ON, HOLD ON. THEY'RE COMING. ALL RIGHT. I DON'T KNOW, I THINK WE'RE ARE WE DOING EIGHT? I WAS, BUT THEY'RE ALREADY BACK SO. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO WE GOT THREE. SO NUMBER THREE CONSIDERATION DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION ON 8.36399. WATER WASTEWATER EASEMENT OUT OF GREEN BAY GATE SURVEY NUMBER 63 ABSTRACT. NUMBER 315. AND MAN OUT OF LOT ONE, MANOR EDITION IN TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS. YES, SIR. MAYOR. CITY COUNCIL MICHAEL MORRELL, INTERIM DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY OF MANOR. SO AFTER DISCUSSION WITH BOTH PARTIES, AS WELL AS FRANK, THE CITY ENGINEER, IT WE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE BEST PATH FORWARD WOULD BE TO HAVE THE OTHER ENGINEER'S PARTY REVIEW THE DOCUMENTATION, JUST TO SEE WHAT REASONABLE SOLUTIONS THERE ARE. TRY TO MEET AGAIN EITHER WEDNESDAY OF NEXT WEEK OR ONE OF THE DAYS AFTER BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS, TO FINALIZE SAID SOLUTION AND ULTIMATELY HAVE THE CITY MANAGER AUTHORIZE THAT

[01:00:01]

AGREEMENT BETWEEN BOTH PARTIES TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAVING TO GO TO COUNCIL CONSECUTIVELY.

COUNCIL MEMBERS, YOU HAVE NEW INFORMATION. EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT. MY APOLOGIES. IS THERE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR OR MORE DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS ON THE MOTION? I APPROVED THE ALTERNATE MOTION THAT WAS FROM. I THOUGHT WE CHANGED IT TO TABL. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. LOOK AT THERE.

YOU'RE TRYING TO GET ME CAUGHT UP. HE'S ON TOP OF IT. I LIKE TO WATCH OUT FOR HIM. ALL RIGHT.

HE'S GOING TO COME TO YOUR JOB. SO IS THERE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR? BASED OFF OF THE INFORMATION WE RECEIVED TODAY? NO. TONIGHT. MAYOR, COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE A 0.6399 WASTEWATER EASEMENT. OH, AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER. OH, YEAH, I DID GO THROUGH THAT ONE. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE AS TO FORM AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE EASEMENT. THE EASEMENT WITH ANY REVISIONS NECESSARY. ALL RIGHT, LOOK, COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE, KEEP ME ALL ON ON POINT TONIGHT, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN MORENO.

IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND, SECOND. BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE. ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION BEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES. ALRIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL. NUMBER SEVEN, WE BOUNCED ALL OVER THE PLACE. NUMBER SEVEN CONSIDERATION.

DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION ON A CHANGE ORDER TO CONSTRUCTION. CONTRACT OF COTTONWOOD CREEK WEST TRIBUTARY WASTEWATER MAIN EXTENSION. ALL RIGHT, HOLD ON A SECOND. LET THEM AGAIN. YEAH, WE'LL LET THEM FINISH OUT HERE. SO THIS. WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT. OKAY. NOW WE'RE GOOD. GO AHEAD.

OKAY. SO THIS PROJECT IS THE WASTEWATER LINE THAT RUNS SERVICE ALL THE WAY UP TO THE NORTH END OF 973 AND CONNECTS TO THE COTTONWOOD CREEK WEST TRIBUTARY MAIN. IT'S WE'RE CLOSING OUT THE PROJECT. THIS IS KIND OF THE FINAL CHANGE ORDER TO FINISH UP THE PROJECT. THERE ARE, YOU KNOW, FOUR ITEMS IN THERE, PROBABLY THE ONE THAT'S MOST NOTABLE. THE LARGEST PIECE HAS TO DO WITH THE PIPE BEDDING MATERIAL. THERE WAS A SWITCH MADE AT CITY REQUEST TO SHIFT FROM ONE INCH CRUSHED ROCK TO A 3/8 TYPE F, WHICH IS BASICALLY LIKE A PEA GRAVEL AS THE NEW CITY STANDARD. AND SO THIS REQUEST WAS, YOU KNOW, PUT INTO THE CHANGE ORDER AND THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF ADDITIONAL COST TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT. THE OTHER ITEMS ARE KIND OF TRUE UP ITEMS AT THE END OF EVERY PROJECT, YOU'LL HAVE SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS IN QUANTITIES FOR ACTUAL INSTALLED AMOUNTS. THE TOTAL AMOUNT FOR THE CHANGE ORDER IS $26,185.68. THAT'S THE ONLY CHANGE ORDER FOR THIS PROJECT, AND IT'S ROUGHLY 1% OF THE TOTAL CONTRACT AMOUNT. AND THE NON-CITY REQUESTED CHANGE ORDER AMOUNT IS 2/10 OF A PERCENT. SO ARE WE CHANGING THE THAT GRAVEL FOR ALL PROJECTS NOW? YES. IT'S BEEN UPDATED IN THE CITY STANDARD NOTES OKAY. SO ALL NEW PROJECTS MOVING FORWARD ARE GOING TO HAVE THIS NEW TYPE OF, YOU KNOW, CITY REQUESTED GRAVEL. OKAY. QUESTIONS COMMENTS. COUNCIL MEMBERS, DO YOU HAVE A TIMELINE FOR THIS PROJECT? PARTICULAR PROJECT? THIS PROJECT IS ACTUALLY PRETTY MUCH COMPLETED. SO THIS IS JUST KIND OF THE CLOSEOUT AT THE VERY END. SO YEAH, IT'S ALREADY ONLINE. OTHER COMMENTS QUESTION.

MOTION. MAYOR COUNCIL I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE CHANGE ORDER NUMBER ONE TO THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR THE COTTONWOOD CREEK WEST TRIBUTARY WASTEWATER MAIN WITH SANTA CLARA CONSTRUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF 26,108, $26,185.68. WELL, MOTION BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE. IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND. SECOND. BY COUNCILWOMAN MAYOR, ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? I HAVE ONE QUESTION. YES, MA'AM. JUST WONDERING, WHERE WAS THIS ONE? THE BUDGET. WHERE WAS IT LINED IN THE BUDGET, I GUESS. WHERE IS IT COMING OUT OF? SO, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS THE OVERALL PROJECT COST, YES. THE CHANGE ORDER. OH, JUST FOR THE CHANGE ORDER, I

[01:05:07]

WOULD SAY THAT IT EXCEEDED THE ORIGINAL PROJECT COST. THERE WERE THERE WERE CHANGES THAT WERE MADE TO THE LINE FOLLOWING ORIGINALLY SCOPING THE PROJECT TO INCREASE THE CAPACITY. SO, SO THIS WAS ON TOP OF WHAT WAS PLANNED. NOW TYPICALLY WE TRY AND YOU KNOW, BUDGET FOR A 10% CONTINGENCY UP FRONT. AND THEN USUALLY LIKE TO KEEP IT AT 3% OR LESS. BUT THIS PROJECT FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS WAS, YOU KNOW, INCREASED IN COST TO MEET CITY ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS. SO THE DECISION WAS MADE TO EXCEED THE BUDGET. DO WE KNOW THE TOTAL AMOUNT OR PERCENTAGE OF WHAT THE CONTINGENCY, THE 10% CONTINGENCY? OH, NOT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. IT'S BEEN SO LONG, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT A LOT OF THAT WAS DONE PRIOR TO ACTUALLY BIDDING THE CONTRACT OUT. AND SO IT'S YEAH, IT WAS SIGNIFICANT, BUT I DON'T RECALL THE AMOUNT. BUT THAT'S AGAIN, ALL OF THAT, YOU KNOW, OCCURRED PRIOR TO CONSIDERATION. AND AWARD OF THE CONTRACT. OKAY. YOU CAN JUST GET THOSE NUMBERS TO US OKAY. OTHER QUESTIONS COMMENTS. I THINK SHE ASKED WHERE WHERE IN THE BUT WHERE WAS THE WHERE IS THIS MONEY GOING TO COME FROM? IS IT GOING TO COME OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND? THIS PROJECT WAS ACTUALLY PARTIALLY FUNDED BY THE DEVELOPER AND SO THE DEVELOPER FRONTED, I WANT TO SAY, A MILLION AND A HALF DOLLARS FOR THIS PROJECT. SO, SO THE REMAINDER, I GUESS, BASICALLY ABOUT $1 MILLION ON TOP OF THAT WAS THE CITY PORTION FOR THIS PROJECT. WAS IT THE 2021 BOND? I KNOW IT'S A LOT, BUT I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO SEE. IF WE GOT CHANGE ORDERS TO SHOW THE FUNDING SOURCE AND THEN IF IT'S BID OR ANYTHING, WE CAN JUST HAVE THAT FOR THE BACKUP. SO THAT WAY, RIGHT. THE CITIZENS WOULD KNOW THAT THERE'S FUNDING AVAILABLE AND MY, MY RECOLLECTION IS THAT IT WAS IMPACT FEES THAT WERE ELECTED TO BE USED FOR THE ADDITIONAL COST FOR OVERSIZING, WHICH IS EXACTLY KIND OF WHAT THEY'RE THERE FOR, FOR ADDITIONAL CAPACITY, RIGHT? YEA. OKAY. SO JUST TO WALK YOU THROUGH, SINCE SOMETHING THAT WALKS YOU THROUGH THE DIFFERENT BONDS PORTIONS, OKAY, THAT, THAT THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. OTHER QUESTIONS COMMENTS. ALL RIGHT. DO WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR. YES. ALL RIGHT. NO OTHER QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION. ALL IN FAVOR POST.

NOBODY OPPOSED. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. MOVING DOWN TO NUMBER EIGHT RIGHT. YEAH. CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION AND ACTION ON STATEMENT OF WORK NUMBER 41 TO MASTER SERVICE. AGREEMENT OF JUDGE BUTLER ASSOCIATES, INC. FOR THE UPGRADING AND EXPANSION OF THE GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS GIS INFRASTRUCTURE. YES, SIR. MAYOR. COUNCIL JUSTIN KLINGER, GBA THE PROPOSAL IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY WOULD BE WOULD INVOLVE UPGRADING THE GIS GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE CITY AND EXPAND IT TO ALLOW MORE PUBLIC WORKS STAFF WELL, REALLY PUBLIC WORK STAFF TO BE ABLE TO LEVERAGE THAT THAT TECHNOLOGY AND THE SOFTWARE. RIGHT NOW, THE CITY ACTUALLY HAS HAD GIS IN PLACE SINCE AT LEAST 2014, BUT IT CONSISTED OF A SINGLE LICENSE OF THE SOFTWARE THAT WAS HOUSED ON A DESKTOP COMPUTER IN DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. SO PUBLIC WORKS HAS NOT REALLY HAD ACCESS TO IT. AND WHAT THIS WOULD DO WOULD BE, WOULD ALLOW PUBLIC WORKS STAFF THROUGH THE ADDITION OF THREE LICENSES TO NOT ONLY UTILIZE THAT TECHNOLOGY IN THE OFFICE, BUT ALSO IN THE FIELD AS WELL. AND SO IT WOULD INVOLVE PURCHASING THE SOFTWARE, CONSOLIDATING ALL OF THE DATA THAT IS CURRENTLY OUT THERE THAT YOU ALL SEE ON THE, YOU KNOW, THE WALL EXHIBITS AND OTHER OTHER PAPER EXHIBITS THAT THAT

[01:10:01]

YOU'RE FAIRLY FAMILIAR WITH. BUT WHAT THOSE LACKED ARE THE DETAILS, THE ATTRIBUTES. AS WE WOULD CALL THEM. SO THIS WOULD ESSENTIALLY TAKE THOSE AND THEN PUT THOSE UP INTO THE CLOUD IN A WEB APPLICATION, WEB MAPS NOT ONLY FOR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES BUT ALSO FOR PUBLIC WORKS. AND THAT WOULD ALSO ALLOW US TO THEN NOT ONLY VIEW THE MAP, BUT DIG DOWN INTO THE MAPS AND LOOK AT THE ATTRIBUTES SO, YOU KNOW, LINE TYPES, YOU KNOW, STREET INFORMATION VALVES. YOU KNOW, ANY KIND OF ADDITIONAL DATA THAT THAT, YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO WANT TO THEN CONVEY ALONG WITH THAT WOULD OBVIOUSLY BE TRAINING FOR USING THE USING THE SOFTWARE APPROPRIATELY. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, ALSO JUST WORKING ON IMPROVING SOME THINGS, MAKING MAKING THINGS MORE OPTIMAL FOR, FOR PUBLIC WORKS SO THAT WHEN THEY'RE OUT AND ABOUT DOING THEIR DAILY WORK, THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY BE UPDATING THE, THE OVERALL SYSTEM. AND IT'S REALLY AN ENTRY POINT INTO, YOU KNOW, A FUTURE ENTERPRISE ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THAT WILL THEN, YOU KNOW, REALLY TELL US WHAT WE HAVE, WHERE IT IS, HOW IT'S FUNCTIONING. YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH, HOW MUCH IS IT COSTING US.

AND KIND OF ON THE FLIP SIDE OF IT, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT INFORMATION CAN BE USED VERY EFFECTIVELY FOR FUTURE GRANTS TO PROVE THAT THINGS ARE WORKING WELL, THAT MONEY'S BEING SPENT WELL SO THAT IS WHAT IS BEFORE YOU TODAY. THANK YOU SIR. QUESTION. I SEE THAT THE TRAINING UNDER TASK THREE IS ONLY 1400 ONE HOUR TO OR TWO HOUR ONE TWO HOUR TRAINING. SO MY QUESTION IS AND THE PUBLIC WORKS AND DEVELOPMENT STAFF, WHO ALL HAS A GIS CERTIFICATE. COME ON UP. MAYOR COUNCILOR MICHAEL BURRELL, INTERIM DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY OF MAYNARD. WE CURRENTLY HAVE ONE CERTIFICATE THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY USED BY SCOTT DUNLOP, WHO KIND OF HANDLED ALL GIS INQUIRIES FOR THE CITY. IT'S STILL ACTIVE. WE JUST DON'T HAVE ANYONE WHO UTILIZES IT CURRENTLY BECAUSE NO, NO, NO NO, I'M TALKING ABOUT WHO WHAT PERSONNEL HAS THE GIS CERTIFICATE CERTIFICATION TRAINING. YEAH, IT'S THE LEVEL ONE CERTIFICATE.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR, COUNCIL. MATT WOODARD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR. WE DO NOT HAVE ANYBODY THAT HAS A GIS CERTIFICATE. THEREFORE, THIS IS WHAT WAS COMING UP BEFORE YOU IS THIS WILL GIVE US THE ABILITY TO ACTUALLY DO REAL LIVE DATA COLLECTING AND PUT IT IN. BUT RIGHT NOW, AS WE ARE RIGHT NOW, GBA HANDLES ALL OF THOSE DATA SET POINTS. THIS WILL ALLOW US TO HAVE OUR SET POINTS AND DATA WITH THERE OVERLOOKING. WE'LL MAKE SURE BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THAT WHERE I CAME FROM, IF YOU MAKE ONE LITTLE MISTAKE, IT CAN MESS UP THE WHOLE LINE AND NOT BE VERY ACCURATE. BUT WORKING WITH THEM, WE CAN ACTUALLY GET IT TO WHERE WE GET THE DATA.

THEY CALL IT A BAD ELF OR A TREMBLE. YOU CAN GO OUT THERE, LOCATE IT WITH. I THINK IT'S PROBABLY WHAT IS IT WITHIN 0.2 OR 0.5. AND IT'S VERY ACCURATE WHERE WE CAN GO BACK, GET THAT DATA, SET THAT BACK INTO THE GIS AND THEY CAN PLOT IT IN THERE. RIGHT NOW WE'RE CURRENTLY LOOKING AT MAPS AND THEY KIND OF BLUR TOGETHER. IT LOOKS LIKE THE TWO LINES ARE TOGETHER AND THAT'S ALL WE CAN REALLY SEE. BUT THIS WE COULD ACTUALLY HAVE SOFTWARE TO WHERE WE CAN ACTUALLY BE MORE DEFINED AND LIKE, OKAY, THOSE TWO LINES ARE NOT CONNECTED. AND THE ONLY REASON WHY I BRING IT UP IS BECAUSE WE HAD WE'VE BEEN HAVING SOME PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT WORKSHOPS WITH WITH HUMAN HUMAN RESOURCES, AND WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT CONTINUING EDUCATION AND TRAINING AND CERTIFICATES THAT WE WANTED TO SUPPORT IN. SO I WANTED TO JUST KNOW IN THE CORRELATION OF THIS AREA. SO I DO KNOW THAT ACC HAS A FAST TRACK PATHWAY FOR GIS.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT DEVELOPING AN OPPORTUNITY TO RETAIN STAFF MEMBERS AND INCREASING THEIR VALUE. JUST SOMETHING TO CONSIDER IF WE'RE GOING TO BOOST UP THOSE LICENSES AND THAT CAPACITY, IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR SOME TO CONSIDER THAT AND HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH HUMAN CAPITAL, BECAUSE IT'S IF I KNOW THAT I'M WORKING HERE AND YOU'RE GOING TO INVEST IN ME TO GET A LEVEL ONE CERTIFICATE WITH A COMMUNITY COLLEGE THAT CAN LEAD TOWARDS AN ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE, THAT'S ANOTHER WAY TO JUST TO KEEP FOLKS ON ON THE TEAM. YES, SIR. NO, I TOTALLY AGREE. WE'LL DEFINITELY UTILIZE THAT AND START LOOKING AT STAFF, WHICH IS CAPABLE. AND THIS IS A

[01:15:05]

GOOD WAY FOR US BECAUSE AS WE GROW, WE REALLY DO NEED A GIS COORDINATOR. YEAH. AND WE CAN.

WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS MAY EVEN HAVE THE DOLLARS TO COVER THE TRAINING. SO WE GAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION TO MISS VASQUEZ. WHAT WAS THAT? Y'ALL THINK BEFORE THANKSGIVING? THAT WAS BEFORE THANKSGIVING. SO REACH OUT TO HER. REACH OUT TO VASQUEZ. YES. OKAY. WE'LL DO.

YEAH. I'D LOVE TO HAVE THAT INFORMATION. OKAY, I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION. DON'T GO TOO FAR.

OKAY? OKAY. HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE WE GOING TO BE TRAINING AS FAR AS LICENSING? WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THREE. BUT AS FAR AS THE TRAINING, I THINK IT'D BE BEST IF WE STARTED OUT WITH ONE. AND TO TRY TO SEE WHAT THAT HOW THAT WOULD GO. I DO KNOW WHEN YOU START GETTING INTO CAD AND DOING A LOT OF GIS STUFF THAT WE DO NEED TO FIND THAT ONE PERSON THAT'S REALLY GOOD AT IT.

FORTUNATELY, WHERE I WAS AT BEFORE, THERE WAS A GUY THAT ALREADY BUILT COMPUTERS AND KNEW EXACTLY HOW TO DO CAD, AND HE FOLLOWED RIGHT ON INTO IT REALLY QUICK. BUT IT WAS ALSO DANGEROUS BECAUSE HE WOULD START MANIPULATING THINGS AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THE GIS COORDINATOR WAS LIKE, NO, NO, NO, DON'T TOUCH THAT, BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO MESS IT ALL UP. BUT SO YOU'RE VERY RIGHT. THE TRAINING IS VERY VALUABLE. YEAH, I DO NEED TO ASSESS THAT AND SEE WHO'S CAPABLE AND WHO WE CAN SEND. YEAH. AND THEN THAT BRINGS TO MY QUESTION. IT'S THERE'S ONE TWO HOUR TRAINING WORKSHOP THAT DOESN'T SEEM SIGNIFICANT. SO THAT'S REALLY KIND OF THE INTRODUCTORY TRAINING SESSION. SO WHAT THE INTENTION IS NOT TO JUST LET EVERYBODY LOOSE BECAUSE RIGHT NOW GBAS HANDLING A LOT OF A LOT OF THE DATA MAINTENANCE ASPECTS OF IT. AND SO WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO THAT. BUT WE NEED TO HAVE AN INTRODUCTORY TRAINING SESSION JUST TO GET EVERYONE ON THE SAME PAGE OR THE INDIVIDUALS SELECTED UP TO A POINT WHERE THEY UNDERSTAND IT AND THEY CAN GET IN THERE AND ACTUALLY START VIEWING THINGS AND MAKING EDITS, SUGGESTIONS, AND OTHER THINGS CORRECTLY. AND THEN THERE ARE ALSO WITH THE LICENSES, THERE IS A LOT OF FREE TRAINING MATERIAL THAT THE SOFTWARE VENDOR ESRI PROVIDES HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS OF FREE TRAINING MATERIAL THAT THEY CAN THEN DIVE INTO AND, AND GET EVEN MORE OF AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT'S GOING ON. AND THEN WE'LL OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, STILL BE TALKING WITH THEM CONSISTENTLY, WALKING THEM THROUGH EVERYTHING. SO THAT WE KNOW THAT THEY'RE BEING TRAINED CORRECTLY SO THAT THEY CAN THEN START TO BREAK OFF OVER TIME AND, AND DO THEIR OWN OWN EDITS, THEIR OWN WORK AND REALLY BECOME SELF-SUFFICIENT. OKAY. SO AND THAT'S WHY I SAID WHAT I SAID IN, IN REGARDS TO EXPLORING THAT TRAINING IN THE BACKGROUND, BECAUSE IT'S, IT'S IF WE'RE GOING IF THE CITY IS GOING TO INVEST INTO A PROGRAM THAT'S GOING TO BENEFIT THE CITY, BUT THE CITY IS REALLY NOT GOING TO USE IT TO ITS FULL CAPACITY, THEN WE SHOULD BE EXPLORING A PATHWAY SO THAT CITY EMPLOYEES HAVE THAT CAPACITY. SO YOU'RE NOT HAVING TO LOOK FOR SOMEONE THAT CAN DO IT. SO AND LIKE I SAID, IF WE'RE USING THE STATE RESOURCES, IT WON'T COST US ANYTHING TO DEVELOP OUR OWN FOLKS, TO BE ABLE TO KNOW MORE AND TO GO HAND IN HAND WITH THE TWO HOUR TRAINING. BUT ALSO, YOU'RE RIGHT, A LOT OF SOFTWARE ENTITIES, THEY ALREADY HAVE THOSE STANDALONE MODULES. YOU CAN WATCH, KIND OF LIKE ON DEMAND VIDEOS FOR TRAININGS. YOU CAN DO SO IT'S JUST MORE SO ABOUT ANOTHER WAY TO CONTINUE TO BUILD CAPACITY IN THE CITY STAFF AND AS A RECRUITING TOOL, WE HELP PROVIDE YOU LIKE WE DO WITH THE STUDENTS THAT WE TRY TO GET INTO WASTEWATER. SAME THING. WE JUST DO IT WITH OUR STAFF, INVEST IN OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEY CAN WORK TOWARDS THAT CERTIFICATION EVEN IF IT'S JUST 1 OR 2 OF THE CLASSES. IN THE PAST, I THINK IT'S 21 HOURS FOR THE LEVEL ONE CERTIFICATE. SO IF IT'S IF WE ONLY DO LIKE SIX HOURS OF IT, THAT THAT INFORMATION ALONE WILL, YOU KNOW, WILL BE VALUABLE FOR THE CONVERSATIONS AND THE WORK FLOW BETWEEN THE GBA AND THE CITY STAFF. YEAH, OKAY. OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS. DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF GIS MAPS APPLICATIONS YOU GUYS WILL BE USING? SO ESRI WILL BE THE MAIN SOFTWARE. THE IDEA IS TO CREATE BOTH EDITABLE WEB APPS AND VIEW ONLY WEB APPS. THAT WAY THE VIEW ONLY COULD THEORETICALLY EVEN BE POSTED ON THE WEBSITE. AND SO, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THAT'S

[01:20:04]

DISCRETION OF CITY STAFF AND COUNCIL. BUT IN THEORY, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THE MAPS THAT THE SITE CURRENTLY LINKS TO COULD HAVE ALL OF THIS DATA. THERE. AND IT'S A VERY EASY LIFT. ONCE THE DATA IS AGGREGATED AND OPTIMIZED TO THEN SPIN OFF MULTIPLE WEB MAPS, MULTIPLE WEB APPS OFF OF THE SAME DATA SETS, AND THEN THAT INCREASES TRANSPARENCY ACROSS THE BOARD, NOT ONLY INTERNALLY, BUT, YOU KNOW, IF SO DESIRED, TO CITIZENS AS WELL. SO THERE'LL BE TWO APPLICATIONS, ONE VIEWABLE AND ONE EDIBLE. CORRECT? OKAY. CORRECT. YEAH. THANK YOU. SO YEAH, I USE GIS A LOT FOR WHAT I DO. CITY OF AUSTIN AND YEAH PUBLIC WORKS. I MEAN IT'S VERY BENEFICIAL NOT ONLY FOR CITY WORKERS BUT ALSO FOR THE PUBLIC. THEY'RE ABLE TO USE THAT MAP TO INTERACT WITH IT. YOU KNOW, IF THEY'RE APPLYING FOR PERMITS AND STUFF LIKE THAT TO SEE ALL THE UTILITIES AND STUFF LIKE THAT. SO YEAH, IT'S VERY BENEFICIAL PROGRAM. YEAH. BUT IT IS LIKE A LOT OF THE UNDERLYING PUBLIC WORKS DATA SETS ARE VERY COMPLEX. SO IT'S TO BRING SOMEBODY IN IN YOU KNOW, I COMPLETELY AGREE. CERTIFICATE PROGRAM WOULD BE PHENOMENAL. YOU KNOW GETTING SOMEONE OUT OF THAT INTO THE POSITION YOU'RE GIVING THEM LIKE A HUGE BOOST UP BY DOING THIS. BECAUSE IF THEY'RE HAVING TO DO THAT BY THEMSELVES FROM SCRATCH, IT THEY'RE THEY'RE PULLING THEIR HAIR OUT. IT'S A BIG LIFT. YEAH. SO. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. COUNCIL MEMBERS. IF NOT, WE'LL TAKE A MOTION. MAYOR COUNCIL. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE PROPOSED STATEMENT OF WORK. NUMBER 41 TO THE MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH GEORGE BUTLER ASSOCIATES, INC, FOR THE UPGRADE AND EXPANSION OF THE GIS INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE AMOUNT OF $20,000. WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY COUNCIL MEMBER MORENO. IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN? WERE THERE ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? NO QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION BEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

MOVING ON TO NUMBER 11 CONSIDERATION DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE RESOLUTION, SETTING THE ISSUE, SETTING AND ISSUING NOTICE OF A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE CREATION OF A TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE. TIERS NUMBER TWO, CONTAINING APPROXIMATELY 927.5 ACRES OF LAND AND DIRECTING THE PREPARATION OF A PRELIMINARY REINVESTMENT ZONE PROJECT AND FINANCING PLAN. MR. JONES, THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, WE HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU ON THIS AGENDA ITEM. WE ASK YOU TO CONSIDER. THE LEGAL COUNSEL HAS PUT TOGETHER A RESOLUTION TO SET THE PUBLIC HEARING UNDER SECTION 311 OF TEXAS TAX CODE TO CREATE THIS TAX REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER TWO, WHICH IS THE DOWNTOWN TAX REINVESTMENT ZONE STAFF HAS WORKED WITH. THAT'S ME. AND MICHAEL BURRELL BASICALLY WORK WITH CATALYST COMMERCIAL AS PART OF THEIR DOWNTOWN STRATEGIC PLANNING EFFORT TO IDENTIFY THE BOUNDARIES OF AND CREATE THIS TERSE TWO FOR COMMERCIAL AND NO MORE THAN 30% RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES WITHIN THE CITY'S ETJ AND THE CITY LIMITS. AND THIS RESIDENTIAL RESOLUTION CALLS FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE AND PROPER PREPARATION OF PRELIMINARY INVESTMENT ZONE PROJECT AND FINANCING PLAN. AS PART OF THIS PROCESS OF CREATING THE TERS AND THAT PROCESS WILL INCLUDE CREATION OF THE BOARD AND SUCH. AND WE'RE RECOMMENDING HOLDING THIS HEARING ON DECEMBER 18TH COUNCIL MEETING. SO THE TERS WILL INCLUDE APPROXIMATELY 927 ACRES OF LAND. THE MAP IS INCLUDED FOR YOUR EDIFICATION AS LONG AS THE LONG LIST OF PROPERTIES THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THESE. AND WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THESE PROPERTIES PRETTY MUCH INDIVIDUALLY AND SO WE'LL ASK THAT YOU AUTHORIZE THE APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION AND SETTING THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE 18TH. AND. I MEAN THAT UNLESS Y'ALL HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, COUNCIL MEMBERS IS LIKE MR. JONES SAID, IT'S CONNECTED TO OUR DOWNTOWN PLAN. WE HEARD LAST MONTH. SO THIS WILL SET UP A FUND SO THAT AND THE BOARD CAN SET ASIDE WHATEVER PORTION OF THE ADDITIONAL SALES TAXES OVER THE BASE OF 2024. SO IF TAXES GO UP

[01:25:11]

FROM 2025 AND THEREAFTER, THEY CAN SET 100% OR 50% OR 75% OR WHATEVER ADDITIONAL AMOUNT OF THE TAX INCREASE AND PUT IT IN THAT FUND. AND THAT WILL, THAT WILL, THAT WILL BE IN PLACE TO ADD TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THIS DOWNTOWN TOURIST ZONE SO THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S OLD AS THE DOWNTOWN PLAN THAT YOU ALL APPROVED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO STATED, THERE'S THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS OLD. AND, YOU KNOW, WE NEED DOWNTOWN DRAINAGE SYSTEMS AND ALL THOSE THINGS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED IN THE DOWNTOWN TO GET FUTURE DEVELOPMENT GOING. ALL THIS THESE FUNDS CAN BE USED FOR ALL THOSE SIDEWALKS, ALL THOSE KINDS OF IMPROVEMENTS. SO WE'RE TRYING TO PUT THIS FUND TOGETHER TO PUT THAT MONEY, HAVE HAVE A SOURCE FOR THAT MONEY TO REDEVELOP THE DOWNTOWN AREA. AND SO WE'VE STRETCHED THIS BOUNDARY. YOU'LL SEE IN THE MAP, WE'VE STRETCHED THIS BOUNDARY OUT. IT, IT GOES PRETTY FAR EAST AND PRETTY FAR WEST TO OUR CITY LIMITS. SO WE'VE STRETCHED IT OUT A LITTLE BIT TO INCLUDE SOME OF THOSE AREAS THAT ARE GOING TO BE DEVELOPING HERE PRETTY SOON. AND, AND, AND SO WE'LL HAVE THAT PUBLIC HEARING. AND IF ANY PROPERTY OWNERS VOICE THEIR CONCERNS, WE'LL TAKE THOSE CONCERNS INTO CONSIDERATION AS WELL. QUESTIONS OR A MOTION.

MR. MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 2024, DASH 39, SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE CREATION OF THE TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE. NUMBER TWO, CONTAINING APPROXIMATELY. 927.5 ACRES OF LAND AUTHORIZING CITY SECRETARY TO ISSUE NOTICE REGARDING THE PUBLIC HEARING AND DIRECTING THE CITY TO PREPARE A PRELIMINARY REINVESTMENT ZONE PROJECT AND FINANCING PLAN. WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY COUNCILWOMAN MESKER. IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN WARE. ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION BEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSE MOTION. WHICH ONE WERE YOU IN FAVOR? OKAY. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. MOTION PASSES, SEVEN ZERO. THANK YOU. MOVING RIGHT ALONG. ITEM NUMBER 12.

CONSIDERATION. DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION ON AGREEMENT, AUTHORIZING THE WORK TO PROVIDE SURVEYING, MAPPING, AND GROUND PENETRATION RADAR SERVICES FOR THE CEMETERY. GOOD EVENING.

MAYOR COUNCIL. MATT WOODARD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR. WE ARE HERE BEFORE YOU. I KNOW WE HAVE TALKED BEFORE IN COUNCIL AND WORKSHOPS AND TALKING ABOUT TRYING TO GET AN ORDINANCE TOGETHER FOR OUR CEMETERY AND COMING AND STARTED WE DID START DOING A DEEP DIVE INTO THAT ORDINANCE, BUT WE REALLY DO NEED TO HAVE OUR. OUR CEMETERY SURVEYED, MAPPED, AND HAVING A GROUND PENETRATING RADAR SERVICES FOR THE CEMETERY. WE NEED TO REALLY KNOW WHAT WE HAVE THERE ARE SOME ROUGH SKETCHES ON MAPS THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. WE REALLY NEED TO IDENTIFY THAT HAVE A REALLY GOOD PLAN OF A MAPPED OUT AREA AND WE ALSO NEED TO SURVEY SOME OF THESE AREAS WITH RADAR SERVICES TO SEE WHAT IS AVAILABLE. BEFORE WE DO THE REAL DEEP DIVE INTO THE ORDINANCE. SO THIS IS MUCH NEEDED. AND I DO HAVE FRANK FUNK HERE WITH LSC DESIGN. THEN HE CAN GET MORE TECHNICAL OF WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO AND HOW THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT. AND WHAT IT'LL ALL LOOK LIKE. OKAY. DO Y'ALL HAVE QUESTIONS ON FROM MATT OR FRANK? YEAH, ON EXHIBIT B IN THE PACKET IS ARE YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO BE SURVEYING THAT RED PORTION OR JUST THE CEMETERY. THE ONLY CEMETERY WE HAVE HERE IN MANOR. OTHER QUESTIONS. WHO AND ONCE YOU HAVE YOUR FINDINGS, WHO INITIALLY WILL HAVE THE INFORMATION, DOES IT GO OUT TO ANY OTHER AGENCIES? WILL IT JUST COME TO THE CITY? IT'S UP TO US TO DECIDE HOW TO SHARE YOUR FINDINGS. HOW DOES THAT WORK? TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THAT'S GOING TO COME TO US, JUST THE CITY, AND THEN WE CAN GO

[01:30:01]

FROM THERE. OKAY. OTHER QUESTIONS. THIS MAN. MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS, YOU'LL NOTICE IN THE SUMMARY FORM THAT CITY LEGAL DID NOT REVIEW THIS AGREEMENT. AND SO IN TERMS OF YOUR QUESTION THAT NEEDS TO BE PROVIDED IN THE AGREEMENT THAT THE INFORMATION IS ONLY FOR CITY PURPOSES, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE. WE HAVE ACTUALLY HAD TO HAVE HAD TO HAVE SURVEYS BEFORE AND IN THE PAST. AND WE'VE WE'VE ACTUALLY GONE INTO THE CONTRACTS LIKE THIS BEFORE.

WE DID DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE OF LOOKING AROUND, SURROUNDING AGENCIES THAT HAVE DONE THIS KIND OF WORK. IT IS VERY HARD TO FIND PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY DO SURVEYING FOR HUMAN REMAINS.

THERE IS A LOT OF GROUND PENETRATING RADAR THAT DOES A LOT OF UTILITY WORK, BUT IT'S THIS GROUND PENETRATING RADAR WILL ACTUALLY DO THE GIS THAT WILL LINK INTO THE SURVEYING AND THE MAPPING. SO WHAT I HEAR YOU SAYING IS THAT AS A REQUEST THAT IF THERE'S AN APPROVAL TONIGHT, THAT LEGAL GETS THE REVIEW, OKAY. AND SO IF THERE'S A MOTION FOR APPROVAL MAKE SURE THERE'S IS BASED ON THAT LANGUAGE. OTHER QUESTIONS. I HAVE A QUESTION. IF IS THIS A ONE TIME SURVEY SURVEY OR IS THIS SOMETHING THAT IS REOCCURRING OR IT HAS TO BE REOCCURRING? WELL, OUR GOAL HERE IS TO BE A ONE TIME, YOU KNOW, SO WE CAN ACTUALLY MAP IT ALL OUT AND ACTUALLY HAVE THE LOTS THERE TO WHAT IS AVAILABLE. AND THEN THEREFORE WE CAN KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE HAVE, WHAT WE KIND OF LOOKED AT OUT THERE. THERE'S A FEW BARE SPOTS, BUT THERE THERE'S BEEN TALK THAT THERE MIGHT BE REMAINS. THERE. SO WE NEED TO REALLY KNOW WHAT WE HAVE LEFT. IT MAY NOT BE REALLY FEASIBLE TO DO ANY MORE IF WE SAY, IF WE ONLY HAVE 50 MORE LOTS LEFT, IT MAY BE A LOT MORE THAN THAT, BUT OUR GOAL IS ONLY TO SURVEY IT ONCE. ONLY REASON WHY, I'D SAY IF WE HAD TO DO IT AS SOMETHING AS WE WANTED TO ADJUST SOMETHING. BUT THE SURVEYING IS ACTUALLY GOING TO GET THE CORNERS, BUT THE MAPPING ITSELF WILL BE INSIDE. THAT MAKES SENSE. AND I WOULD SAY COUNCIL TO MOST CEMETERIES. AND I THINK MRS. SANCHEZ WAS HERE. AND THE ONES THAT HAVE WORKED CEMETERIES WITHOUT AN ACTUAL MAP IS YOU KIND OF ARE AT THE MERCY OF DISCOVERING THINGS THAT ARE, THAT HAVE BEEN THERE. AND SO WITH US BEING OPERATING LIKE THIS FOR SO LONG, I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF MARKERS. I MEA, STONES, I MEAN GRAVES WITH NO STONES. AND SO THE ACTUAL IF WE CAN GET IT MAPPED AND WITH THE RECORDS WE DO HAVE, WE'LL BE ABLE TO START FILLING IN SOME OF THE THINGS TO BE AN ACTUAL RECORD, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE NO RECORD OTHER THAN A BOX.

AND HER KNOWLEDGE. BUT AGAIN, FOR US TO ACTUALLY HAVE A RECORD OF THE CEMETERY AND IF FAMILIES WANT TO COME IN AND PUT AN ACTUAL STONE, IF THERE'S A RECORD OF LOT BLOCK TWO, LOT 12, WE'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE A RECORD TO SHOW THAT. AND THEN AGAIN, IF THERE'S SO MANY LEFT, THEN WE CAN COME BACK TO THE COUNCIL AND SAY, NOW IT'S TIME TO DO AN ORDINANCE WITH WHAT'S LEFT. IF WE DECIDE TO GO AHEAD AND HAVE AN ACTUAL PROCESS IN WHICH THAT WOULD BE GOVERNANCE RATHER THAN MY FAMILY LIVED HERE, THEY NEED TO BE BURIED. WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE MAP DONE, AND THEN MISS SANCHEZ CAN GIVE US ALL THE DATA TO FILL IN THE BLANKS THAT THAT ARE THERE. AND THEN THAT WAY WE CAN HAVE A FINAL PRODUCT THAT WE CAN BRING BACK TO YOU. SO THAT WAY IT ELIMINATES ALL THE GUESSING AND, AND JUST IT'S BEEN LONG OVERDUE. AND SO WHEN WE INHERITED THIS PART OF THE, THE PROPERTY, IT JUST WAS NEVER INITIATED. SO THIS IS ALLOWING US TO GO AHEAD AND INITIATE IT AND BRING CLOSURE TO THAT. ALL THE UNKNOWNS. SANCHEZ DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU'D LIKE TO ADD? ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE MANOR CEMETERY. THAT'S MY VIEJO. HE HELPS ME. SO I EXPLAINED TO LANCE AND MATT THAT I'VE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS BECAUSE OF BRINGING DANIEL CANEPA. IF Y'ALL DON'T KNOW WHO THAT IS, HE'S A DIGGER FOR THIS IN TAYLOR. BUT HE SERVES THE SURROUNDING AREA, OUR AREA, AND HE'S HIT SEVERAL COFFINS WHEN WE'VE TRIED TO BURY PEOPLE. NOW WE'RE WAITING ON THE ORDINANCES. EVERYTHING'S ON HOLD RIGHT NOW, BUT IT IS VERY UNNERVING AND KIND OF LIKE YOU JUST TRY TO LOOK AROUND LIKE THIS, LIKE, YOU KNOW, OKAY, WE'LL JUST COVER IT BACK UP AND WE'LL FIND ANOTHER SLOT. AND THAT'S. I TOOK IT OVER IN 2016 AND VIEJO'S PARENTS HAD BEEN TAKING CARE OF THAT CEMETERY SINCE THE EARLY 1900S. SO WE'VE

[01:35:02]

HAD SEVERAL OCCURRENCES THAT HAVE HAPPENED OVER THE YEARS THAT WE REALLY DO NEED TO GO AND HAVE THAT PROPERTY SURVEYED AND OVERLOOKED, BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN MANOR THAT HAVE BEEN HERE, MAYBE BEEN HERE 66 YEARS, AND ONE DAY HE'LL DIE AND HE'LL NEED TO BE BURIED THERE. NOW WE'VE SELECTED A SLOT, BUT WE COULD HIT A COFFIN. HE'LL BE DEAD. HE WON'T KNOW. SO WITH THAT SAID, WE HAVE OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE LIVED. LIVED HERE STILL 30, 40 YEARS. AND THEY'RE IN THEIR 80S AND THEIR 90S AND WHAT HAVE YOU. BUT THEY EXPECT TO BE BURIED AT THAT CEMETERY. THEY'RE VESTED INTO THE CITY OF MANOR. THEY'VE BEEN HERE ALL THEIR LIVES AND WE REALLY NEED TO KNOW HOW MANY WE HAVE REMAINING, YOU KNOW, AND WHAT THE UNKNOWN IS NOT GOOD.

YEAH. IT'S NOT GOOD WHEN YOU'RE HAVING TO FACE FAMILIES AND YOU HAVE TO GO OUT THERE AND MEET THE FUNERAL HOMES AND MEET THE DIGGER AND MEET THE FAMILIES AND, AND TRY TO FIND A PLACE. SO I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU ALL TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER THIS. IT'S BEEN NEEDED FOR A LONG TIME, AND WE HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY NOW. WE HAVE THESE TWO INDIVIDUALS THAT WILL WORK TOGETHER AND WORK WITH US TO HELP MAKE THIS HAPPEN. SO, OKAY, I THINK WE HAVE QUESTIONS. YES, I HAVE, I HAVE A QUESTION.

YES, MA'AM. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PUT THIS, BUT I'VE HEARD IT ALL. YOU KNOW WHERE THE RED LINING IS? THAT'S THE EDGE OF THE CEMETERY. THAT'S WHERE THE FENCE IS. RIGHT? OKAY. HAVE Y'ALL RUN INTO ANYTHING CLOSE TO THE FENCE THAT MAY BE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE FENCE? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT WHERE THEY WANT TO BUILD THOSE? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE. YEAH. WELL, ALONG THAT THAT ALONG THAT BACK FENCE I THINK IT'S THE, THE BACK FENCE. NO Y'ALL HAVEN'T RUN ANYTHING OKAY.

NO, MA'AM. NOT AT ALL. OKAY. YOU KNOW, I'M GOING TO I'M GOING TO I'M GOING TO PUSH US ALONG ON TIME. CAN WE GET TO A MOTION COUNCIL. MAYOR? COUNCIL. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT.

THANK YOU, MISS SANCHEZ. I'M SORRY. CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZED CITY MANAGER TO SIGN THE CONTRACT AGREEMENT WITH LSI LAND DESIGN SERVICES, INC. IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $32,500. WE HAVE A MOTION FOR ONE SECOND. GOOD CATCH. OH, YEAH. I'M SORRY. CATCH. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

WITH LEGAL REVIEW, WE HAVE A MOTION BEFORE BY COUNCILWOMAN MORENO. IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND? SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE. ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? Y'ALL ARE CATCHING EVERYTHING TODAY. QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION. BEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR? OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. 13 CONSIDERATION. DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION ON A RESOLUTION.

IN A DOCUMENT NUMBER 2021 2020 9060 OF THE OFFICIAL PUBLIC RECORDS OF TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS, FOR THE PUBLIC USE AND PURPOSE OF CONSTRUCTION OF PUBLIC UTILITIES, INCLUDING WATER LINES AND WASTEWATER LINES. MR. MOORE, MAYOR, COUNCIL. THIS ITEM IS BROUGHT BEFORE YOU DUE TO RUN THE COURSE OF TRYING TO WORK WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER TO WORK WITH US TO GET THE EASEMENT NECESSARY. THIS IS BETWEEN THE CLUB CAR WASH AND THE CUBESMART PROPERTY AND THIS IS THE NEXT STEP IN THE PROCESS TO GO DOWN THE PATH OF CONDEMNATION AND WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE GO THE PROPER PROCESS AND, AND TO EXECUTE THIS AGREEMENT. QUESTIONS. COUNCIL MEMBERS. WAS THIS THE THAT BILLBOARD SIGN? YEAH. OKAY. THAT DOES. OTHER QUESTIONS COUNCIL MEMBERS AND I WILL SAY THIS IS THE LAST PARCEL THAT WE NEED TO BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON EXTENDING GETTING ALL THE RIGHT OF WAY FOR EXTENDING THAT WATER LINE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF 290. AND THIS IS THE LAST PROPERTY THAT'S WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO CLOSE ON. THE OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? ENTERTAIN A MOTION. MOVE THAT THE CITY OF MANER AUTHORIZE THE USE OF THE POWER OF EMINENT DOMAIN TO ACQUIRE A PERMANENT

[01:40:01]

PUBLIC UTILITY EASEMENT TOTALING 20,835FT■!S FROM PROPERTY OWNEDY PLATEAU HOLDINGS, LLC AND DESCRIBED IN AGENDA ITEM 13 FOR THE PUBLIC USE OF CONSTRUCTING AND OPERATING PUBLIC UTILITIES, INCLUDING WATER LINES AND WASTEWATER LINES. DOES SHE NEED TO SAY THE FIRST TIME BEFORE THE QUOTE, SHE NEEDS TO SAY THE RESOLUTION? YES. THE FIRST TIME. RIGHT ABOVE THAT. CITY STAFF, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 2024. DASH 40. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY COUNCILWOMAN WAY. IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND, SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM HILL, ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION BEING NONE. MAYOR PRO TEM. ALL RIGHT. COUNCILWOMAN WEIR YES.

COUNCILWOMAN MEAD. YES. MAYOR HARVEY. YES. COUNCILWOMAN. WALLACE. YES. COUNCILMAN.

MORENO. YES. COUNCILWOMAN. DEJA. HILL. YES. SEVEN. YES. MOTION PASSES SEVEN ZERO. ALL RIGHT.

MOVING ALONG TO NUMBER 14. CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON INSTALLING PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES FOR PUBLIC SAFETY AND IMPROVEMENT. MR. MOORE. MAYOR. COUNCIL, THE ITEM WE HAVE BEFORE YOU IS THE CONSIDERATION OF INSTALLING A PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES ALONG 290 NORTH AND SOUTH NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF US 290 AND SHADOW GLEN. IF YOU'VE DRIVEN BY THERE, YOU'VE SEEN THERE SIDEWALKS THAT ARE THAT HAVE BEEN POURED TO JUST SOUTH OF MEDICAL TOWER. AND IF YOU NOTICE OVER BY THE CAR WASH, THERE'S A SIDEWALK THAT'S THERE. AND WITH THAT CREEK RUNNING THROUGH TO THAT PART OF THE CITY, THERE'S NO CONNECTIVITY. AND IF YOU'VE SEEN PEOPLE, I'VE SEEN ELECTRICAL WHEELCHAIRS, I'VE SEEN INDIVIDUALS WALK ALONG 290.

AND IT'S NOT BEEN A SAFE PLACE FOR THEM TO GET ONCE THEY GET PAST SHADOW LAND TO GET SAFELY TO WALMART. AND WITH THE SHOPPING CENTER BEING ON THE NORTH SIDE OF 290, IT'S GOING TO BE MORE INCREASED FOOT TRAFFIC. AND SO WE'VE REACHED OUT TO TXDOT ABOUT INSTALLING A CROSSWALK THERE AT TWO NINE INCHES SHADOW GLEN. I DON'T THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE ANY OBJECTION, BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE YOUR BLESSINGS TO PROCEED WITH INSTALLING THE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES TO CROSS THOSE TWO CREEKS TO CONNECT THE SIDEWALKS THERE AT 290. OKAY.

AND SO THIS IS A REQUEST TO GET THE PROPOSALS THAT WILL COME BACK TO US WITH THE COST. YES, SIR. THE QUESTIONS, COUNCIL MEMBERS. AND SINCE IT'S JUST A PROPOSAL, IS IT NOT THAT IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE LEGAL REVIEW THIS EITHER? I JUST WANTED TO HEAR THAT. I THINK THEY'LL PROBABLY. THE QUESTION IS, IS LEGAL NEEDS TO REVIEW THIS. I THINK LEGAL IS GOING TO BE INVOLVED IN THE PROPOSAL CREATION AT THIS POINT. IT'S OR THE OR THE CREATION OF THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL LEGAL IS INVOLVED IN THAT. THE RFP WE'VE LOOKED AT, THERE'S NOT A LOT OF COMPANIES THAT BUILD PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES, BUT IF WE HAVE TO GO AND LOOK AT THEY'VE BEEN ON SITE TO LOOK AT WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO, WE CAN PROCEED WITH THAT MANNER BECAUSE IT'S A SPECIALIZED REQUEST. AND SO YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF BUSINESSES THAT WOULD BE LEFT OUT. IT'S JUST AND THEN THE BIGGEST THING FOR US IS WORKING WITH TXDOT. MAKE SURE THEY THEY HAVE SOME INSIGHTS IF IT'S NEAR THEIR RIGHT OF WAY, JUST TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T BUILD SOMETHING THEY WOULD WANT TO TAKE OUT LATER. AND WE WERE LOOKING AT INSTALLING A SIDEWALK ON THE SOUTH SIDE ALONG THERE ALONG BEHIND THE GUARDRAIL THERE. AND IT JUST WASN'T SAFE FOR THEM.

AND THEY LOOKED AT IT, BUT WE JUST REALIZED IT WASN'T GOING TO BE A SAFE INVESTMENT FOR US TO TRY TO WORK WITH TXDOT AND MAKE IT NOT QUITE A SAFE CROSSING OF THAT CREEK. AND SO THE ROUTE FOR US WAS TO GO TO THE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE ROUTE. NO. I THINK SHE HAS A DIFFERENT QUESTION BECAUSE IT'S JUST INVOLVING THE PROPOSALS. IS IT NOT IMPORTANT TO HAVE LEGAL REVIEW AT THIS TIME? THIS, THIS RECOMMENDATION? I THINK I THINK FROM WHAT I HEAR YOU SAYING IS, DO WE NEED TO HAVE LANGUAGE ABOUT LEGAL IN TH, IN THE MOTION? AND BECAUSE WE'RE JUST AUTHORIZING HIM TO GO GET PROMOTIONS, THEN THE ANSWER WOULD BE NO, WE DON'T NEED TO HAVE LEGAL MENTIONED IN THE PROPOSAL IN THE IN THE RECOMMENDATION. CORRECT? CORRECT. ALL RIGHT. COOL. THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? YES, MA'AM. SO THAT THAT. DOES THAT SOLIDIFY EXACTLY WHERE IT'S LOCATED NOW OR IS THERE STILL ROOM FOR CHANGE IF THERE'S A BETTER OPTION? IS THERE ANOTHER

[01:45:07]

PLACE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE A BRIDGE BESIDES THIS SPACE, OR DO YOU THINK THIS SPACE IS NOT GOOD? OR DO YOU THINK, OR IS THERE ANOTHER SPACE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE? A BRIDGE? I'M NOT SURE IF THE PLACE IS GOOD, BUT I GUESS I DON'T KNOW. THAT'S CORRECT. JUST TO CLARIFY, THE BRIDGES ARE ON THE MAP THAT'S PROVIDED OR THE YELLOW COLORED ONES YELLOW COLORED ONES, NOT THE BLUE COLORED ONES. THE BLUE THAT'S ON, I GUESS TO THE NORTH LOOKING AT OUR WILL BE TO THE EAST IS WHAT'S BEING WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED BY THE MAYNARD CROSSING DEVELOPMENT. PART OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT WAS TO INSTALL SIDEWALKS ALL THE WAY TO THAT FIRE LANE. BUT THEN AGAIN, IT WOULD LEAD US TO HOW DO PEOPLE CROSS SAFELY ON THE OTHER SIDE, BECAUSE THEY JUST INSTALLED THAT SIDEWALK. SO THE BIGGEST THING IS TRYING TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THAT CONNECTIVITY AND CREATE A SAFE SPACE FOR OUR RESIDENTS. WITH ALL THE DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER PEOPLE'S MODE OF TRANSPORTATION, IS THERE THERE BY WALKING OR BIKING. AND SO BUT THE GOAL IS THERE'S NO OTHER WAY TO GET ACROSS THE CREEK ON EITHER NORTH OR SOUTH. DOES EVERYONE UNDERSTAND THAT? SO IT'S NOT GOING ACROSS 290. IT'S CROSSING THE CREEKS ON BOTH SIDES OF 290 AT THE ORANGE LOCATION. BUT THEN YOU WANT TO PUT A CROSSWALK ACROSS. AND THAT'S WHEN WORKING WITH TXDOT.

THAT'S THE GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE THEY THEY REALIZE IF THIS MOVES FORWARD, WE'LL BE COMING BACK TO THEM TO ASK FOR THE CROSSWALK, THE DEDICATED CROSSWALK, LIKE AT LEXINGTON AND GREG MANOR SO PEOPLE CAN CROSS FROM NORTH TO SOUTH. YEAH, THAT'S A DIFFERENT REQUEST, RIGHT? YEAH. Y'ALL GOT THAT DOWN THERE. YEAH. WHAT'S YOUR FLEXIBLE, MR. MOORE? WHAT'S YOUR FLEXIBILITY LIKE TXDOT IN REFERENCE TO OTHER AREAS UP AND DOWN 290 FOR PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES. OR AT LEAST LOOK AT LEAST LOOKING AT OTHER AREAS AS WELL THAT WOULD POTENTIALLY NEED IT FOR SAFETY. I THINK THEY'RE OPEN. I KNOW IN VISITING WITH WITH THEM AND TALKING TO THE SUPERINTENDENT, WE'RE DEFINITELY LOOKING AT THE BRIDGES THAT GO LIKE OVER BY SPRINGDALE AND THE YMCA OF 483. SO WHATEVER IS PROPOSED AND FEASIBILITY OF 290, WE'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO ASK CMRA AND TXDOT TO CONSIDER THAT PIECE IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE ALL THE MAJOR LANES. BUT IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN EXTEND FURTHER WEST ALONG PAST GREG MAYNARD, AUTOZONE, WE CAN DEFINITELY, DEFINITELY HAVE TEXTS THAT GIVE US BLESSINGS TO CONSIDER GOING THAT ROUTE. IF NOT, WE GOT THE PARSONS ROUTE WHERE WE CAN HAVE THE EXISTING BRIDGE AND SOME OF THE SIDEWALKS THAT ARE THERE. JUST UPGRADE THOSE TO GIVE ANOTHER ROUTE FOR PEOPLE NOT TO GO DOWN TO 290. YES. THANK YOU. SO WHAT I HEAR COUNCIL SAYING IS SEPARATE FROM THIS, CAN YOU INQUIRE ABOUT WHAT ELSE THEY CAN LOOK AT SO THAT THEY CAN JUST HAVE THAT INFORMATION? YES, SIR. LOOK AT IT JUST UP AND DOWN TO 90. AND THEN WHAT I ALSO HEAR IS OPPOSITE. WELL SEPARATE FROM THIS WHERE THEY CONSIDER CROSSING OVER. AND WHAT ARE SOME GOOD LOCATIONS. AND FOR INFORMATION SAKE, CAN THAT COME BACK TO COUNCIL. AND THEN WE HAVE THE SPECIFIC ONE THAT'S ON TONIGHT, WHICH IS BASICALLY ASKING COUNCIL TO HAVE TO GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO FIND PROPOSALS TO COVER THE, THE COST, TO GET A LOOK IN THE COST FOR THOSE TWO CREEKS, BRIDGE ACROSS THE TWO CREEKS IN THE ORANGE AREA ON THAT EXHIBIT. ITEM 14 THREE, PAGE 390. YES, SIR. THAT EVERYBODY THAT SUMMARIZES EVERYTHING. OKAY. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO ASK? ANOTHER QUESTION, COUNCILWOMAN HILL? NO. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? CLARIFICATION NEEDED. YOU DO? YES. ARE YOU GOOD? OKAY. EVERYBODY GOOD. MAYOR, COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO SECURE PROPOSALS TO COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION OF THE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE ALONG THE 290 CORRIDOR. WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE. IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND. SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN. ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS TO THE MOTION? SEEING NONE. ALL IN
