HAPPY JUNETEENTH AND THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SERVICE.WHAT YOU DO FOR THE COMMUNITY I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT JUNETEENTH, THE PUBLIC ONE, BUT I WILL I WILL GET THE FAMILY FOR THE 4TH OF JULY ONE. WE ALREADY HAD PLANS IN OUR HOME. AND SO I JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE ALL OF US TO. Y'ALL ALREADY DOING A GREAT JOB, BUT I JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY THAT THIS IS AN AMERICAN HOLIDAY. IT'S NOT JUST FOR ONE GROUP OF PEOPLE, BUT IT'S FOR ALL OF US AMERICANS. I GOOGLED WHO ALL PARTICIPATED IN THE CIVIL WAR. I FOUND OUT IT WAS ASIANS, IT WAS NATIVE AMERICANS, IT WAS SPANISH. IT WAS BLACK, HISPANIC, WHITE. IT WAS JUST AN AMERICAN. EMANCIPATION. SO I JUST GIVE GOD ALL PRAISE AND GLORY FOR THAT.
AND WHAT WHAT WE WANT TO DO TO CELEBRATE IS ENJOY, DANCE, LOVE, FORGIVE, UNITE, PRAY FOR SAFE TIME. LAST YEAR, YOU KNOW, IT WAS TWO MURDERS AND A LOT OF INJURIES. SO WE REALLY NEED TO PRAY AS A COMMUNITY AND AS A COUNTRY THAT PEOPLE WILL BE SAFE. AND WE JUST I ALREADY GOT MY POTATO SALAD MADE AND MY GRANDSON MADE THE A RED CAKE. AND I FOUND OUT THE RED, THE BARBECUE, THE WATERMELON, THE RED SODA WATER. THAT'S BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD THAT WAS SHED AT THE, IN THE, IN THAT WAR. AND SO THEY USED A LOT OF RED THINGS. SO, SO WE'LL EAT FIRST. YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW HOW YOU CELEBRATE. WE'LL EAT FIRST, THEN WE'LL DO OUR DANCE. LIVING IN AMERICA BY JAMES BROWN. THAT'S A LOT OF EXERCISE. SO WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO GET ANOTHER PLATE. AND THEN OUR OTHER DANCE WILL BE. WOODEN BOOTS AND WEAR THEM. FANS SAID BOOTS ON THE GROUND WOULD PROBABLY DO THAT ONE. SO IT'S JUST GOING TO BE A LOT OF FUN AND LOVE. AND SO I JUST WANT EVERYBODY TO CELEBRATE AND COME TOGETHER AS A COUNTRY AND REALIZE WE HAVE A LOT MORE TOGETHER THAN WE DO. SEPARATE. AND JESUS SAID, A COUNTRY DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF. IT DESTROYS ITS OWN SELF SO THE ENEMY CAN JUST SIT THERE AND LOOK WHILE YOU DESTROY YOURSELF AND JUST COME IN AND PICK UP THE SPOILS. BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO LET THAT HAPPEN, RIGHT? OKAY.
HAPPY JUNETEENTH, GOD BLESS AMERICA AND HOOK EM HORNS. THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO DO. THANK
[00:10:06]
YOU. ALL RIGHT. NEXT WE HAVE IS IT IRA? YEAH. PRAY TELL ME, HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE YOUR LAST NAME? FREILICH. THANK YOU. IRA FRALEY I'M TRYING NOT TO TAKE UP TOO MUCH OF YOUR TIME. YEAH, I KIND OF HAD THE SAME THOUGHT THAT, YOU KNOW, JULY 4TH IS COMING UP. AND WITH ALL THE CRAZINESS GOING ON THESE DAYS, THAT IT WOULD BE, I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO DO TO BE CIVICALLY ENGAGED. AND I FIGURED THAT, YOU KNOW, GOVERNMENT STARTS LOCAL. SO I'M HERE. I HAD A BUNCH OF IDEAS ABOUT WHAT I WANTED TO ASK FOR, AND WHILE I WAS GOOGLING, I FOUND THAT WHAT I WANTED WAS ALREADY HERE. TRAVIS COUNTY, A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO ISSUED A PROCLAMATION ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION AND THE BILL OF RIGHTS AND EVERYONE'S RIGHT TO THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS. FIFTH AND 14TH AMENDMENT. I WAS HOPING THAT YOU GUYS WOULD CONSIDER EITHER A SIMILAR STATEMENT OR MAYBE SIGNING ON TO THIS STATEMENT TO JUST KIND OF LET EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITY KNOW THAT THE CITY STANDS BEHIND ITS CITIZENS AND. BECAUSE I'M, I DON'T KNOW IF I'M LIVING IN A SOCIAL MEDIA BUBBLE OR NOT, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING'S GOING CRAZY THESE DAYS, SO I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN SUBMIT THIS TO SOME SORT OF RECORD OR WHATEVER. YEAH. BUT I JUST THANK YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO. THANK YOU. SARAH. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO OUR PUBLIC[PUBLIC HEARINGS]
HEARINGS. NUMBER ONE, PUBLIC HEARING ON A PRELIMINARY PLAT AMENDMENT FOR MONARCH ROAD.EXCUSE ME. MONARCH RANCH SUBDIVISION, 400 LOTS ON 120.833 ACRES, MORE OR LESS. AND BEING LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION OF GREGG LANE AND FM 973, MAYNARD, TEXAS.
MAYOR COUNCIL. MY NAME IS MICHAEL BURRELL, THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY OF MAYNARD. THIS ITEM IS A COMPLEMENT TO AN ITEM THAT WAS BROUGHT PREVIOUSLY, WHICH WAS A CORRECTION TO THE CONCEPT PLAN. THERE WAS ADDITIONAL ACQUISITION OF RIGHT OF WAY ALONG GREGG LANE, WHICH SHIFTED THEIR LOTS AND ALTERED SOME OF THE SIZING. THIS IS TO CORRECT THAT AND ACCURATELY REFLECT IT ON THE PLOTS AND PLANS SUBMITTED TO THE CITY. ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCIL MEMBERS? BAND NINE. WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. MAYOR. COUNCIL. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM NUMBER ONE. WELL, MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE. ANY QUESTIONS TO THE. IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND.

YES SIR. YES, IT IS ACTUALLY THE REQUEST OF STAFF TO LEAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN ON THIS ITEM. THE PREVIOUS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING DID NOT HAVE A QUORUM, AND UNLIKE PUBLIC HEARING ITEM NUMBER ONE, SINCE IT'S NOT A PLAT, THERE'S NO PROVISION IN OUR CODE THAT ALLOWS FOR IT TO PROCEED. SO THE REQUEST IS TO LEAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AND THEN HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND REGULAR AGENDA ITEM ON THE JULY 16TH MEETING. AFTER THIS IS BROUGHT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FOR CONSIDERATION. OKAY, MAYOR COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE LEAVE PUBLIC HEARING ITEM NUMBER TWO, OPEN UNTIL THE JULY 16TH MEETING.

YES, SIR. STAFF IS ACTUALLY REQUESTING THIS ITEM BE PULLED COMPLETELY FROM THE AGENDA, ALONG WITH ITEM NUMBER TEN. AS I BELIEVE THE REGULAR HEARING ITEM, IT WAS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY OUR ENGINEERS, BUT BEFORE THE ITEM WAS BROUGHT TO EVEN PNC, THEY WANTED TO MAKE ADDITIONAL CHANGES TO THE PLAT, AND IT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO BRING IT FOR CONSIDERATION. IF THEY WERE GOING TO BE ALTERED AND BROUGHT BEFORE YOU AGAIN WITHIN 1 TO 2 MONTHS. OKAY, SO WE OPENED IT, SO WE JUST NEED TO VOTE TO CLOSE IT. AMERICA. OKAY, MAYOR COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CLOSE. PUBLIC HEARING. PUBLIC HEARING ITEM NUMBER THREE. WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE.

MAY 2025 CITY COUNCIL MONTHLY REPORTS. SIX. CONSIDERATION DISCUSSION POSSIBLE ACTION ON EXECUTIVE.
MAY 2025 DEPARTMENT REPORT SEVEN. CONSIDERATION DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION ON REGARDING A LETTER OF SUPPORT TO THE TRAVIS COUNTY ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 2050 PROJECT. CAN YOU TELL US MORE ABOUT NUMBER SEVEN, SIR, FOR THE PUBLIC RECORD. YES, SIR. FOR THE RECORD, THE COUNTY REACHED OUT TO THE CITY TO REQUEST A LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR THEIR PLAN. THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS OF APPLYING FOR A GRANT, AND THEY WANT TO LET US SUPPORT FROM THE MUNICIPALITY. AND THE DUE DATE WAS TODAY. AND SO WE WANTED TO PUT ON THE AGENDA THAT WE WOULD BE SUPPORTING, SEEK THE COUNCIL SUPPORT FOR THIS ITEM. OKAY. DOES THEIR 2050 PLAN INCLUDE WORK ON 290? THAT WE HAVEN'T WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANY PRELIMINARY, BUT I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME SOME PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES TO SHARE THAT PLAN WITH THE PUBLIC. OKAY. I DEFINITELY WANT TO HAVE MORE CONVERSATION ABOUT NUMBER SEVEN BRIEFLY. SO CAN WE HAVE A. MOTION ON THE FLOOR FOR PROVEN CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS FOUR THROUGH SIX. MAYOR COUNCIL I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS FOR NUMBER FOUR THROUGH SIX. MOTION BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE.
IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN? ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION BEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR? OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES SEVEN ZERO. BACK TO ITEM NUMBER SEVEN, WHICH IS CONSIDERATION. DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING LETTER OF SUPPORT OF TRAVIS COUNTY ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 2050. WHAT? WHAT ARE THEY ASKING US TO OR WHAT ARE THEY IN RETURN? ARE THEY GIVING US ANYTHING IN RETURN OR OR OFFERING ANYTHING IN RETURN FOR OUR SUPPORT? I THINK IF IT IF IT CAME DOWN TO SOMEONE FROM, IN THIS CASE, WANTED TO BE AN ADVISORY ROLE, WE CAN ASK IF ANYONE FROM MAYNARD WOULD BE. IF THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR RESIDENTS FROM MAYNARD TO PARTICIPATE AT THAT LEVEL AND ADVISORY LEVEL. AND IN THE PAST, I'M NOT SURE IF THAT HAS EVER BEEN THE CASE. WHEN THERE'S STUDIES DONE BY THE COUNTY OR ANY OTHER ENTITY. IF MAYNARD HAD A SEAT, I THINK SIMILAR TO THEIR BOND PACKAGE THEY ALWAYS HAD, THEY TRIED TO GET A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE CITY. BUT EVEN FOR THIS TRANSPORTATION PLAN, I THINK WE CAN ASK THE QUESTION, DO THEY WANT JUST A REGULAR CITIZEN OR THEY WANT BUSINESS, OR THEY WANT SOMEBODY IN THE COMMUNITY TO SERVE IN AN ADVISORY ROLE, TO HAVE A VOICE FOR MAYNARD? SO, MR. MOORE, IS THIS THE IS THEIR HOPES IN BRINGING BACK A MORE
[00:20:01]
ROBUST TRANSPORTATION THAT WOULD TAKE PEOPLE FURTHER AND DO LIKE TO HAVE A CAR LIKE YEARS AGO WE HAD CARTS COME IN HERE, AND THAT WAS ONE TRANSPORTATION THAT WOULD TAKE SOME OF OUR SENIORS AND THOSE DISABLED IN AND OUT. IS IT TRYING TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT? I THINK IT'S TO STUDY THE DIFFERENT MODES OF TRANSPORTATION. AND, AND, YOU KNOW, THE COUNTY WENT THROUGH THAT RUSH IN 23 TO GET THE BONDS PASSED FOR THEIR TRAILS AND PATHWAYS IS THEY'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THE COUNTY COULD DO TO EXPAND THAT FOOTPRINT? BECAUSE I THINK IN THE PAST THEY'VE TALKED SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE IN 22, THEY'VE TALKED ABOUT HAVING A TRAIL FROM PFLUGERVILLE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO COLORADO RIVER, AND THAT'S GOING TO REQUIRE COMING DOWN THROUGH GILLIAM CREEK AND STUDYING THAT ALL THE WAY THROUGH, THROUGH MAYNARD, TO GET DOWN TO THE COLORADO RIVER. AND THAT'S OVER 20 MILE TRAIL. SO ANYTHING RELATED TO THAT TYPE OF PLANNING, THEY NEED A PLAN. AND SO THIS GIVES OUR CITIZENS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT PROCESS, TO SAY WHAT OTHER TRANSPORTATION MODES ARE AVAILABLE. AND IF IT'S CARDS OR ANYTHING ELSE, WE CAN BRING IT UP BECAUSE THERE'S NEEDS FOR US BESIDES TRAILS. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A VOICE. THOSE CONCERNS, IF THEY DON'T HAVE A PLAN. WITH MAYNARD'S INPUT, WE WANT TO BE IN A POSITION TO SAY THERE'S OTHER NEEDS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN MET. BUT YOU WANT OUR INPUT BECAUSE MOST OF THESE GRANTS THAT YOU APPLY FOR, THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE A SOMETHING TO SAY, THAT THEY GOT THE COMMUNITY SUPPORT. I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT I HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF CONCERN WITH THEM ASKING US FOR A LETTER OF SUPPORT AND NOT GIVING US ANY KIND OF IDEA ON WHAT THEY WOULD BE TRYING TO OFFER. MAINER, BECAUSE. A TRAIL IS NICE, BUT WE NEED DEFINITELY MORE CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN US AND AUSTIN, AND IN A MORE. TIMELY MANNER. I SHOULD SAY THE BUSSES WE HAVE. OKAY, WE HAVE A COUPLE OF BUSSES, BUT THEY'RE NOT IN A TIMELY MANNER FOR PEOPLE TO COME AND GO AS THEY NEED. RIGHT? AND WITHOUT SEEING THE PREVIOUS PLAN, IF IT WAS 2035 OR 2025, WHATEVER THE PREVIOUS PLANS WERE, BECAUSE USUALLY EVERY TEN YEARS THEY MAY HAVE A 2040 PLAN.WE MIGHT HAVE TO GET A COPY OF THE 2040 PLAN TO SEE WHAT EXACTLY WAS THE PLAN, WHAT INPUT THEY RECEIVED FROM THE CITY. AND AGAIN, THAT'S IF THERE'S GOING TO BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT. WE CAN USE THAT DOCUMENT FOR THE PUBLIC TO SAY, LOOK AT THE 2040 DOCUMENT TO SEE WHAT CAN BE ADDED TO IT, AND THEN HAVE THAT ENGAGEMENT PIECE, BECAUSE WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT DURING OUR BUDGET PROCESS, CAN WE GET OUR CITIZENS ENGAGED ON THINGS THAT CAN SEE A BENEFIT TO MAYNARD, RATHER THAN OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTY? JUST ME PERSONALLY, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEM ASKING US FOR SUPPORT BEFORE GIVING US ANY IDEA ON WHAT THEY INTEND TO DO, RIGHT.
AND I THINK IF THEY WE CAN SAY ONE THING, IF THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, HAVE A FACILITY TO BE ABLE TO HOST THOSE OPPORTUNITIES HERE AT CITY HALL OR OR AT THE SCHOOL OR AT THE LIONS CLUB. SO THAT WAY RESIDENTS DON'T HAVE TO TRAVEL TO, TO GIVE THEIR INPUT. SO ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE DO TO BE ENGAGING, I THINK THAT'S THAT'S THE COUNCIL'S PREROGATIVE TO REQUEST THAT TO BE HERE IN MAYNARD, BECAUSE IF THEY WANT OUR INPUT, WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO GO INTO ALL CENTER PFLUGERVILLE TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS PROCESS. YEAH, I AGREE, I THINK THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT I WOULD LOOK FORWARD IS TO HAVE SOME SORT OF TOWN HALL OR SOMETHING HERE IN TOWN. SO THAT WAY OUR RESIDENTS AND YOU KNOW, WE CAN THE CITY CAN ATTEND AND VOICE OUR OPINIONS. AND THAT'S ONE THING I CAN, I CAN SUGGEST BEFORE I SEND A LETTER BACK, IS TO GIVE US SOME DATES IN WHICH THAT THOSE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES WILL TAKE PLACE HERE IN MAYNARD. YEAH, YEAH. I'M ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT. WHAT THE LANGUAGE OF CONNECTING TRANSPORTATION NETWORKS, ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION NETWORKS MANAGED BY MUNICIPALITIES. THAT THAT IS MY CONCERN THAT THAT PARTICULAR LANGUAGE, BECAUSE THE LETTER OF SUPPORT SAYS THAT THAT'S OUR INTENTIONS. AND IN THE CURRENT ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK THAT THAT EXISTS, VOTERS DON'T HAVE A SAY IN, IN THE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES THAT THEY HAVE ACCESS TO. THEY CAN'T ASK FOR ADDITIONAL ROUTES TO GO TO THE HEB OR TO HOME DEPOT. THE KIDS CAN'T ASK FOR ADDITIONAL
[00:25:08]
ROUTES TO GET TO JOBS OR INTERNSHIPS. PARENTS CAN'T ASK FOR THEM TO STOP LETTING KIDS RIDE THE TRANSPORTATION DURING SCHOOL. AND CREATING A TRUANCY PROBLEM. AND SO, YOU KNOW, ASKING TO SIGN ON FOR SOMETHING WHERE THE PUBLIC HASN'T ALREADY BEEN CONSULTED. MOST GRANT APPLICATIONS ALREADY ASK YOU ABOUT CERTAIN COMPONENTS. AND SO THEY HAVE THE GRANT. WHOEVER THE GRANTOR HAS A THEME THAT THEY WANT TO DO. AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE INFORMATION THAT YOU'RE PUTTING IN THE APPLICATION, YOUR PROGRAM OF STUDY. AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AWESOME IF. HE IF THEY HAD SHARED THAT WITH US, OR IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WE COULD KIND OF REFERENCE OR GO TO RIGHT NOW TO KIND OF SEE WHAT THE INTENTIONS WERE. ON THE FLIP SIDE, I AGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUES THAT AND I LIKE HOW THE DRAFT LETTER TALKS ABOUT THE ADVISORY GROUP WILL WORK WITH STAKEHOLDERS AND PUBLIC IDENTIFY, AND THE PUBLIC TO IDENTIFY NEEDS, AND THAT IT'S GOING TO BE ENGAGED. STAKEHOLDER GROUP THAT INCLUDES LOCAL JURISDICTIONS, WHICH IS A IMPLEMENTING AGENCIES, SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND NONPROFITS TO INFORM PLAN DEVELOPMENT. I DEFINITELY LIKE THAT PIECE. BUT I AM A LITTLE BIT OF CONCERNED. JUST BECAUSE OF THAT ONE PARTICULAR LINE. AND I DON'T KNOW IF SINCE IT'S OUR LETTER, IF WE CAN ADJUST THE LETTER TO ACTUALLY SAY THE PARTS WE DO SUPPORT, SO IT DOESN'T BECOME SOMETHING THAT'S A AND WHAT WE DO SUPPORT AND WHAT WE WOULD, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE OR HOPED, HOW WE PREFER TO BE ENGAGED IN THE FUTURE, A LITTLE BIT MORE SPECIFIC TOWN HALLS IN THE CITY, YOU KNOW, AND INTENSE EFFORT TO ENGAGE RESIDENTS BECAUSE STAKEHOLDER ADVISORY GROUPS OR PEOPLE THAT ARE PICKED TO BE ON ADVISORY TEAM. AND WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT OUR RESIDENTS ARE CONSTANTLY BEING ASKED ABOUT THEIR NEEDS VERSUS SOME ADVISORY GROUPS ALWAYS KIND OF TEND TO HAVE A LOT MORE AUSTIN PEOPLE THAN MAYNARD PEOPLE, WHICH WHICH LENDS ITSELF TO ROADS AND STUFF NOT BEING PICKED. AND WE WENT THROUGH THIS WITH THE BOND ADVISORY COMMITTEE, WHERE THEY $533 MILLION WERE BONDED OFF OF ALL OF OUR COUNTY DOLLARS, AND $0 OF THAT BOND CAME TO MAYNARD BECAUSE 12 OF THE 13 OR. YEAH, 12 OF THE 13 PEOPLE WERE IN AUSTIN. SO THE LANGUAGE SAYS TO ME, THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. SO I THINK IN OUR LETTER, WE NEED TO BE SPECIFIC THAT WE WANT TO WORK WITH THE COUNTY, WE WANT TO HAVE CONNECTIVITY, BUT WE ALSO NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENT. MAYNOR. I WOULD I WOULD CALL OUT THE SPECIFIC SCHOOL DISTRICTS, SO WE KNOW FOR SURE THAT WE'RE SAYING WE SUPPORT THIS BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE INVOLVED. RESIDENTS WILL BE ENGAGED IN LOCAL, IN LOCAL, WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE CITY LIMITS, YOU KNOW, FREQUENTLY. AND I THINK THOSE PIECES ARE WILL GIVE ME COMFORT. BUT I THINK WE SHOULD TAKE OUT THE LANGUAGE ABOUT THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK BECAUSE WE ACTUALLY DON'T MANAGE IT. THE LEGISLATORS, THE LAW THEY HAD LOBBIED. AND NOW THE LEGISLATURE GIVES THEM FULL AUTHORITY TO MANAGE THEMSELVES. SO THAT'S NOT AN ACCURATE STATEMENT. THOUGHTS? COMMENTS. OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS. YES, MA'AM.SO IS IT IS IT ALREADY CONFIRMED THAT WE CONCUR WITH THIS? 2050 PLAN? I GUESS I WAS LOOKING IT UP OVER HERE FROM THE ONE THAT THEY HAD BEFORE AND HAD SOME THINGS IN HERE AS SOME OF THEIR
[00:30:04]
THOUGHTS, BUT I GUESS IT ONLY WENT TO 2045. BUT I GUESS THERE WAS AN UPDATE FOR 2050, BUT IT'S NOT ON THERE YET. WELL, SO THERE'S TWO OKAY. AND THAT'S, THAT'S THE THAT'S SOME OF THE CLARIFICATION THAT IS NOT PROVIDED. IS THIS ACTUALLY FOR 2050 COUNTY PLAN OR IS IT FOR THE 2050 TEX DOT PLAN. THAT'S THE CLARIFICATION. THEY MENTIONED TEX DOT HERE. BUT THEY SAY TRAVIS COUNTY ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 2020. I THINK THE FUNDS THE GRANT COMES THROUGH TEX DOT BUT IT'S THE COUNTIES THAT'S THE COUNTIES PLAN OKAY. BECAUSE THAT'S NOT THE COUNTY'S PLAN IS NOT AVAILABLE VIA SEARCH. THE 2050 PLAN IS AND WE KNOW THAT THE 2050 PLAN DOES NOT HAVE IMPROVEMENTS FOR HIGHWAY TWO, 90 FOR TEX, DOT. AND I JUST I PERSONALLY CAN'T VOTE FOR ANYTHING THAT'S NOT GOING TO FIX 290. IN ON THEIR PREVIOUS 2045.IT'S NOT THEY'RE NOT THERE EITHER. IT'S NOT ON ANY PLANS FOR WHAT. NO MATTER WHAT YEAR YOU LOOK YOU PULL UP 290 292 90 IS NOT ON ANY OF THE PLANS. AND SO, YOU KNOW, AND IT'S NOT FOR EVERYONE IN THE AUDIENCE AND EVERYONE WATCHING THIS LIVE STREAM. IT'S NOT THAT WE DON'T VALUE PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE COUNTY. WE JUST HAVE VERY CLEAR DIRECTIVES FROM OUR RESIDENTS, IN PART FROM BEING IN PERSON OR COMMUNICATION THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA OR HERE AT THESE COUNCIL MEETINGS TO PRIORITIZE FIXING TRAFFIC. AND THAT'S SOLUTIONS ON 290. AND SO LETTERS OF SUPPORT THAT DEVIATE ATTENTION AWAY FROM SOLUTIONS ON 290 CAN PROVE TO BE HAZARDOUS TO US, BECAUSE FUNDS WILL BE REALLOCATED TO A PLAN THAT WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SEE OR KNOW THE PRIORITY FOR.
AND THAT'S NOT A GOOD THING FOR US TO BLINDLY INVEST IN SOMETHING WHERE THEY COULD COME BACK AND SAY, WE'RE BACK ON THE GREEN LINE, AND THE GREEN LINE IS GOING TO BE 30 YEARS OUT. AND SO OUR TAX DOLLARS ARE GOING TO GO TO GREEN LINE IN TWO. 90 IS GOING TO STAY BOGGED DOWN. SO AND WE'VE GIVEN A LOT OF MONEY TO THE GREEN LINE OVER $2 MILLION A YEAR SINCE YOU KNOW THE 90S. AND WE HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT. SO THE CITY HAS TO START, YOU KNOW, STEPPING OUT AND BEING A LITTLE BIT COURAGEOUS IN REGARDS TO THE REQUESTS THAT PEOPLE ARE ASKING FOR. THEY HAVE TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE SPECIFIC WITH US. IF IT'S NOT GOING TO ADDRESS 290, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE IN THE PLAN. THEN THEY HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO US WHY IT'S GOING TO BE HELPFUL FOR US. I THINK ALSO KIND OF LIKE HOW WE DID WITH SENIOR ACCESS. IF SOMEONE'S ASKING FOR A LETTER OF SUPPORT, IF THEY CAN SEND A REPRESENTATIVE HERE TO TALK TO US. YEAH, WE COVER ADDITIONAL COSTS TO ENSURE THAT OUR SENIORS ARE GETTING PLACES BECAUSE THE MANAGING TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY DOES NOT TAKE CARE OF OUR SENIORS IN THIS AREA. SO WE PAY ADDITIONAL DOLLARS TO TAKE CARE OF OUR SENIORS. AND, YOU KNOW, WE HAD THEM COME ASK FOR THOSE ADDITIONAL DOLLARS. SO SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE HAD THE COURTESY TO COME AND SAY, HEY, THIS IS WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO, AND THIS IS WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO. AGAIN, LOVE THE COUNTY, WANT TO WORK WITH EVERYBODY, BUT WE GOT TO GET TO 90 FIXED. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS FOR THE LETTER. YOU SAID THAT THIS LETTER WAS WAS DUE TODAY. THEY HAD A DEADLINE THAT WAS DUE TODAY. BUT IF IN MOST CASES IF THE APPLICATION IS NOT DUE UNTIL JULY, I THINK THEY JUST WANT TO HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO. WE CAN ASK THE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THAT DIRECT INPUT OR HAVE THEM BE PRESENT AT THE JULY 2ND MEETING. IF A LETTER FROM THAT IMPORTANT.
THERE'S SOME IMPORTANT QUESTIONS THAT WE NEED TO ASK. BECAUSE THE QUESTION IS, BEFORE YOU GOT ON COUNCIL AND BEFORE MANOR GOT TO THE GROWTH THAT IT IS TODAY, AND WE LOOK AT 290 WEST AND WE LOOK AT 290 EAST, AND WE SEE THE PLAN FOR TRAVIS COUNTY. 290 WEST HAS AND BUT THERE'S NOTHING ON FOR 290 EAST. AND SO IT'S A AGAIN FOR US WE WANT TO MAKE SURE OUR RESIDENTS KNOW THAT THE LETTER IS JUST TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A CONVERSATION. WE'RE NOT DOING THINGS BLINDLY PER SE, BUT MAKE SURE WE WANT TO BE SUPPORTIVE. BUT THEY NEED TO COME TO US AND ASK HOW HOW OUR VOICE AND HOW OUR SUPPORT IS GOING TO BE A BENEFIT. WELL, WE KNOW IN 2017, PREVIOUS LEADERSHIP DID DO SOME SUPPORTING LETTERS WHEN THEY WERE HERE. AND THAT LED TO MORE DEBT TO THE CITY AND INCREASING
[00:35:03]
COST AND TRANSPORTATION SERVICES. AND SO AND THEY WERE TOLD ONE THING AND THEN ANOTHER THING HAPPENED. YOU KNOW, WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO DO A PARK OVER DOWNTOWN AND HAVE, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING OFF THE RAILS SUPPOSED TO BE THIS PARK AND ALL THESE KIND OF THINGS AND ALL THAT STUFF WAS BLOCKED AND DENIED. SO BUT MONEY IS STILL GOING. WE'RE STILL OUR RESIDENTS. OUR TAXES, OUR SALES TAXES ARE STILL GOING OUT AND WE STILL AREN'T GETTING ANYTHING.SO WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T BLINDLY DO THAT AGAIN AS A COMMUNITY. SO CAN WE. SINCE THIS IS A CONSENT AGENDA ITEM, CAN WE? IT WAS PULLED OKAY. YEAH, I PULLED IT FROM BEFORE THE VOTE.
WE DID FOUR THROUGH SIX. SO WE HAVE TO WE CAN GIVE DIRECTION AND TO HAVE AND LET THAT BE.
GIVE US SOME INFORMATION. YEAH THAT WORK ALL RIGHT. AGAIN TO EVERYBODY IN THE PUBLIC. WE LOVE OUR STAKEHOLDERS. WE JUST HAVE MAJOR NEEDS FOR OUR CITY. AND HOW A COLLECTIVE SOLUTION ON 290 IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE NEED FROM OUR TRANSPORTATION PARTNERS. ALL RIGHT. YES, MA'AM.
DO WE NEED TO TAKE A VOTE ON IT BECAUSE IT'S A CONSENT AGENDA? NO, SIR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS VERONICA RIVERA, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY. THE ONLY THING THAT I WOULD ASK IF YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO HAVE SOMETHING BACK TO YOU ON THE JULY 2ND, OR A PRESENTATION ON JULY 2ND.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE HAVE SOME REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE COUNTY. COME AND GIVE US SOME INFORMATION ON HOW OUR LETTER OF SUPPORT WILL.

SECOND AND FINAL READING. CONSIDERATION. DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION ON AN ORDINANCE
[00:40:04]
REZONING THE MANOR HEIGHTS SUBDIVISION BEING LOCATED TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE INTERSECTION OF US HIGHWAY 290 AND OLD KIMBALL ROAD, MANOR, TEXAS. FROM PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PUD TO PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PUD. YES, SIR. THIS ITEM IS THE SECOND AND FINAL READING OF THE ADDITION OF THE ESTATES TO THE CURRENT MANOR HEIGHTS PUD. THIS WOULD BE PHASES SEVEN AND EIGHT. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS TO THIS AND FINAL READING COUNCIL MEMBERS. IF NOT, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. MAYOR COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE SECOND AND FINAL READING OF ORDINANCE NUMBER 790, AMENDING ORDINANCE NUMBER FOUR, 534 AND ORDINANCE 721 TO MODIFY THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT LAND USE PLAN FOR THE MANOR HEIGHTS DEVELOPMENT. REZONING FROM PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PUD TO PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PUD, WITH THE PROPER PHASING DEPICTED ON THE MAP BEING LOCATED TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE INTERSECTION OF HIGHWAY TWO. US HIGHWAY 290 AND OLD KIMBRO ROAD, MAYNARD, TEXAS. MOTION BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE IS THERE A SECOND I SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN MESKER. ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? NO QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION. ALL IN FAVOR? OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES. MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER 12. DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION ON ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 15 SITE DEVELOPMENT AND OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF MARION, TEXAS, PROVIDING FOR THE AMENDMENT OF OFF SITE SIGNS AND VARIANCES. PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY SAVINGS, OPEN MEETINGS AND EFFECTIVE DATE CLAUSES, AND PROVIDING FOR RELATED MATTERS. YES, SIR. MAYOR. COUNCIL. THIS ITEM PERTAINS IN PART TO THE SAINT DAVID SIGN VARIANCE. CURRENTLY, THE ONLY WAY TO APPLY FOR A VARIANCE IS TO HAVE AN APPEARANCE BEFORE THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS. WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH MEMBERS TO CONSTITUTE A BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT, SO THIS CHANGE IN OUR ORDINANCE WOULD ALLOW THE COUNCIL TO MEET AND CONSIDER SIGN VARIANCES. SPECIFICALLY, IN THE EVENT THAT WE CAN'T HAVE THE BOARD MEET. IT IS ALSO AN ALTERATION TO THE SECTION OF OUR CODE THAT PERTAINS TO OFFSITE SIGNS, WHICH ARE ESSENTIALLY BILLBOARDS. RIGHT NOW, OUR CODE IS VERY RESTRICTIVE THAT IF YOU EVEN LOOK AT A BILLBOARD, IT HAS TO COME DOWN. SO THIS AMENDMENT WOULD ALLOW THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER THE RELOCATION OF EXISTING BILLBOARDS THAT ARE ALREADY IN OUR CITY LIMITS TO OTHER LOCATIONS, BUT IT WOULD HAVE TO COME TO THE COUNCIL FOR THEIR CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL. ALL RIGHT. QUESTIONS, COUNCIL MEMBERS. IF THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, I KNOW WE DISCUSSED THIS TWO WEEKS AGO OR THREE WEEKS AGO, WHENEVER IT WAS.ENTERTAIN A MOTION OR A QUESTION. MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 791 AMENDING CHAPTER 15 SITE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MAYNARD, TEXAS, BY PROVIDING FOR THE AMENDMENT OF OFFSITE SIGNS AND VARIANCES, PROVIDING FOR SURVIVABILITY, SAVINGS, OPEN MEETINGS AND EFFECTIVE DATE CLAUSES, AND PROVIDING FOR RELATED MATTERS. WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE.
IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND. SECOND BY COUNCIL MAYOR PRO TEM HILL, ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION. BEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES. ALL RIGHT. MOVING RIGHT ALONG TO ITEM NUMBER 13. CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON ORDINANCE. CORRECTING THE NAME OF THE 50 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY ON THE FINAL PLATS VILLAGE AT MAYNARD COMMONS PHASE TWO AND VILLAGE AT MAIN COMMONS, PHASE THREE TO COCKATOO CROSSING AND PROVIDING FOR RELATED MATTERS. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS ONE? COUNCIL MEMBERS.
WITHOUT ENTERTAIN A MOTION. MAYOR COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 792, CORRECTING THE NAME OF THE 50 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY ON THE FINAL PLATS VILLAGE AT MAYNARD COMMONS PHASE TWO AND THE VILLAGE AT MAYNARD COMMONS PHASE THREE IS COCKATOO CROSSING AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO IMPLEMENT THE NECESSARY ACTIONS FOR SIGNAGE, NOTIFICATION AND UPDATES. WELL, MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE. IS THERE A SECOND, I SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN MESSER? ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? I HAVE
[00:45:06]
A QUESTION. YES, MA'AM. SO THE NAME WILL BE CHANGED TO MAYNARD CROSSING TWO. COCKATOO. IN THE SUBDIVISION. SO THERE'S AN ISSUE WHERE ON THE PLATS, IT WAS NOT SPELLED THE SAME WAY ON BOTH DOCUMENTS. AND BECAUSE OF THAT, CITY OF AUSTIN ADDRESSING HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES. STREET BLADES HAVE BEEN INCORRECTLY LABELED. AND THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE ON THIS STREET IN THE SUBDIVISION CAN HAVE ANYTHING DELIVERED, BECAUSE THERE'S DIFFERENT RECORDS FOR HOW IT'S SPELLED SO THEY CAN'T BE FOUND. THIS IS JUST TO CORRECT THAT, I SEE. OKAY. YEAH. DROP SOMETHING THAT FELL UNDER THERE. ALL RIGHT. OTHER QUESTIONS. BEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSED.MOTION PASSES. ALL RIGHT. MOVING RIGHT ALONG TO ITEM NUMBER 14. AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, COUNCIL MEMBERS, WE DO HAVE MISS BROWN HERE FROM SAINT DAVID'S. IF YOU HAVE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS FOR HER CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE, VARIANCE TO THE CITY SITES DEVELOPMENT CODE FOR SAINT DAVID'S EMERGENCY MEDICAL FACILITY. YES, SIR. MAYOR.
COUNCIL, THIS IS THE ITEM THAT CAME ON THE FIRST MEETING OF THE MONTH TO ALLOW FOR A VARIANCE TO OUR CODE, TO ALLOW FOR A LARGER SIGN THAT'S ALSO SLIGHTLY TALLER FOR SAINT DAVID'S. MINOR EMERGENCY CENTER. THE PREVIOUS ITEM THAT WAS JUST APPROVED ALLOWS FOR THE COUNCIL TO MAKE DECISIONS ON THE ITEM. PLEASE NOTE FOR THE RECORD, COUNCIL MEMBER THAT ON THE COMMENTS CARD THAT MISS BROWN SAID SHE'S AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS, BUT SHE'S HERE FOR SUPPORT OF THE ITEM. ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? IS THIS THE ONE WHERE WE ASK THEM IF THERE WAS ANY OTHER PLACE THEY COULD PLACE THE SIGN, OTHER THAN WHERE THEY WERE LOOKING AT PLACING THE SIGN? YES. SO THIS ITEM SPECIFICALLY WOULD ALLOW FOR THE HEIGHT VARIANCE AS WELL AS THE SIZING.
BUT THE LOCATION IS TO BE DETERMINED JUST TO ENSURE THAT THERE'S NO ISSUE WITH UTILITIES OR EASEMENTS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. THAT'S ALSO ACCOUNT FOR THE POTENTIAL WIDENING OF 290.
AND GREG MAYNOR OKAY. THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS COUNCIL MEMBERS. WHAT IS THIS MATERIAL GOING TO BE MADE OUT OF? GOOD EVENING, CITY MANAGER, MAYOR COUNCIL APRIL BROWN ON BEHALF OF SAINT DAVID'S, GIVE ME JUST ONE SECOND AND I'LL PULL OUT SOME OF THE SPECS.
SO WHAT ARE YOU ASKING ABOUT THE POLES OR THE SIGN? I THINK BOTH. OKAY. BUT ALSO JUST IN GENERAL, WE HAVE VERY HIGH WINDS AND THAT COME THROUGH THIS AREA, AND THERE'S NOT REALLY ANYTHING FOR IT TO BE IN THE SPACES THAT WERE SUGGESTED BEFORE. IF ANYTHING SHOULD HAPPEN TO THAT SIGN ITSELF COULD CAUSE MAJOR DAMAGE TO A LOT OF PLACES SURROUNDING IT. AND EVEN WITH THE HEIGHT. WE SAW PICTURES LAST TIME WE WERE HERE AND IT WAS, THERE WAS MORE REASON TO HAVE A. YOU SHOWED US THE ONE THAT THERE WAS A SIGN THAT WAS ON IN BASTROP, AND IT WAS PRETTY HIGH AND IT WAS REASON ENOUGH BECAUSE THE TREES THERE, THEY'RE PRETTY PINEY AND THEY'RE VERY HIGH. BUT WE DON'T REALLY HAVE THAT HERE. AND I GUESS ALSO WITH SIGNS, ESPECIALLY ONES THAT ARE EMERGENCY CENTERS VERSUS SOME OF THE OTHER URGENT CARES, THERE'S THAT 24 HOUR LIGHTING ON EMERGENCY SIGNS. SO YOU CAN SEE IT, AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE IT IN OUR AREA. SO THE DISTANCE OF BEING ABLE, BECAUSE OF THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE SIGN ANYWAY, I THINK WE WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE IT. BUT IN THE HEIGHT OF BEING AS TALL AS IT IS MAY NOT BE REQUIRED AGAIN UNTIL WE GET SOMETHING BETTER HAPPENING ON OUR SIDE. THE MOST CONCERN I WOULD HAVE IF IT WAS AN EMERGENCY AND GETTING TO THIS SPACE IS MAKING SURE I STOPPED AT THE LIGHT THAT WAS TO TURN THERE, BECAUSE THERE'S NO OTHER TURN UNLESS YOU GET TO, YOU HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 290,
[00:50:03]
TURN AROUND OR PALMER AND TURN AROUND AND COME BACK. AND SO I THINK THAT WAS SO MY FIRST ONE WAS THE MATERIAL. JUST BECAUSE OF THE CONCERN OF HAVING TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S GOING TO BE DEFINITELY WIND RESISTANT, LIKE WE'VE SEEN SOME OF THE ONES THAT ARE FURTHER DOWN THE STREET AND THEY'VE HAD THEIR WIND DAMAGE AND THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT WITH THAT ONE EVEN BEING HIGHER AND MAYBE NOT AS DENSE IN IN AREAS THAN JUST THE CONCERN OR JUST BEING WILLING TO PUT IN WHATEVER MATERIALS NEEDED AT WHATEVER COST TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S AS STURDY AS POSSIBLE. YES, MA'AM.YOU'RE CORRECT. IF. OKAY. SO TO THAT POINT IN OUR CODE, AND ADDITIONALLY, WHEN YOU APPLY FOR THE SIGN, YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR STRUCTURE INSPECTED BOTH BEFORE YOU POUR AND AFTER YOU HAVE YOUR PARENT FOOTING, YOU HAVE THE MATERIAL LIKE THERE ARE CERTAIN GUIDELINES WE HAVE IN PLACE TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS SUCH AS THAT FROM OCCURRING. AND THOUGH WE HAVEN'T OFFICIALLY LOOKED AT THE SIGNED MATERIAL YET, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE'RE APPLYING FOR THE VARIANCE, THE REST OF THE REVIEW COMES AFTER THEY'RE ABLE TO ACTUALLY APPLY. WE HAVE NOT ONLY OUR CODE OF ORDINANCE, BUT BUILDING CODE AND OTHER STANDARDS SET BY STATE AND THE INTERNATIONAL LEVEL THAT HAVE CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SIGNAGE THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING. WE EVEN HAVE STANDARDS IN PLACE FOR THE BRIGHTNESS OF A SIGN. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE NOTICED, BUT A LOT OF OUR SIGNS DON'T TEND TO BLIND YOU WHEN YOU'RE GOING DOWN TO 90, BECAUSE WE REQUIRE IF YOU HAVE A WHITE BACKGROUND, IT HAS TO BE OPAQUE, OR IF IT'S SOME OTHER COLOR IT CAN'T SHINE DIRECTLY THROUGH.
SO. I KNOW IF SHE DOES KNOW WHAT THE MATERIAL WOULD BE, THAT'D BE GREAT. YES. I DON'T HAVE THE MATERIALS ON ME. I'M HAPPY TO EMAIL THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE A PACKAGE THAT'S ALREADY IN THAT STAFF IS STARTING TO REVIEW FOR THE WALL SIGN. THE CONTRACTOR THAT SAINT DAVID'S USES IS THIS IS WHAT THEY DO. THEY MAKE SIGNS AND THE WAY THAT THEY MAKE THEM FOR JUST FOR A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND, I'M NOT AN ENGINEER, BUT JUST FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN FROM THE FROM THE DRAWINGS, THEY PUT THE SIGN SEVERAL FEET INTO THE GROUND AND IT'S VERY WIDE. SO IT HAS A REALLY WIDE BASE, AND THEY MAKE THE MATERIAL TO BE WIND RESISTANT. THEY MAKE THE MATERIAL. I MEAN, THE SIGN IS VERY EXPENSIVE. IT WOULD BEHOOVE THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT NOTHING HAPPENS TO IT BECAUSE REPLACEMENT FOR JUST FOR EVEN MORE CONTEXT, THE REASON WE'RE DOING THIS NOW, EVEN THOUGH IT'S STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, IS THAT THE SIGNS TAKE EIGHT MONTHS JUST TO MANUFACTURE. SO THERE'S A LOT OF WORK GOING INTO IT. LIKE I SAID, I'M HAPPY TO EMAIL YOU GUYS THE SPECS AND THE APPLICATION SO YOU CAN REVIEW THAT FURTHER. YES, PLEASE. THANK YOU. YEAH. OTHER QUESTIONS COUNCIL MEMBERS. OKAY. SOUNDS LIKE WE HAVE A REQUEST TO DEFINITELY GET THE SPECS OF THE SIGN DELIVERED OUT TO COUNCIL MEMBERS. WHEN YOU ALL CAN. I THINK. COUNCILWOMAN HILL.
THERE'S A PAGE IN OUR BACKUP. I WAS JUST ABOUT TO MENTION THAT THE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE I THINK IT'S SAYS 276 276. THAT IT GIVES YOU SOME. DATA IN REGARDS TO WOMEN'S BROWN WAS SHARING IN REGARDS TO THE DEATH OF THE. THE GRADE. SO GRADE IS AT THE GROUND LEVEL. SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING EIGHT FEET INTO THE GROUND. THE DITCH THEY'RE THEY'RE GOING INTO IS THREE FEET. WIDE. AND THEN THE POLE IS TEN INCHES IN CIRCUMFERENCE. SO THAT'S THAT'S WHAT'S ALL UNDERGROUND. AND THEN THEY'RE BUILDING UP FROM THERE FOR THE STURDINESS. SO IF I MAY, THERE'S ALSO A SECTION I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE THE SAME PAGE. I'M LOOKING AT THE HTML VERSION, BUT IT HAS SIGNAGE DETAILS. AND THE CABINET IS YEAH INTENDED TO BE MADE WITH TRANSLUCENT ACRYLIC FACES, TWO INCH RETAINERS AROUND AND SIGNAGE DOUBLE SIDED. SO ACRYLIC WOULD BE THE SIGN FACE. ALUMINUM CABINET, ALUMINUM CABINET. CABINETS. ALUMINUM. I SAW THAT OKAY, BUT WHAT WHAT DO YOU NEED?
[00:55:01]
ARE THERE ANY OTHER SPECIFIC PARTS YOU WANT TO KNOW SO THEY CAN MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S. NO JUST WHATEVER SHE WAS GOING TO PROVIDE OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COUNCIL MEMBERS. I THINK MY LAST COMMENT IS JUST THAT I WOULD FEEL A LITTLE BIT MORE COMFORTABLE HAVING A 35 FOOT OR. AWARDING THE VARIANCE WITH BETTER KNOWLEDGE OF THE LOCATION THAT IT WOULD BE SOON. YEAH. AND I THINK THIS WAS THIS IS LOWER THAN WHAT WE INITIALLY BROUGHT UP. YES, SIR. THE INITIAL REQUEST WAS FOR 40FT. THE COUNCIL REQUESTED A 35 FOOT TALL SIGN. I THINK WHAT PART OF THE CONCERN IS THAT TOP PART IS GOING TO BE ALUMINUM. AND WITH THE HIGH WINDS, IT'S ALSO GOING TO BE NEAR POWER LINES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. SO IF ANY PIECES OF IT FALL OFF, THERE'S A POSSIBILITY OF IT HITTING THOSE THINGS. SO PER OUR CODE, WE DO HAVE A REQUIREMENT THAT YOUR SIGNAGE NOT BE IN YOUR BUILDING SETBACK AND FRONTING TWO, YOU HAVE A 25 FOOT BUILDING SETBACK THAT TYPICALLY ACCOUNTS FOR YOUR EASEMENTS, UTILITY LINES, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. AND STAFF IS MORE THAN WILLING TO WORK WITH THEM ON PLACING IT SOMEWHERE WITHIN EITHER ONE OF THEIR PARKING ISLANDS, OR SOMEWHERE REASONABLE, SO THAT THERE'S NOT THE RISK OF ANY DETRIMENTAL DAMAGE OR CITY WIDE POWER OUTAGES. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.YEAH, I THINK THAT'S THE POSITIVE OF A NEW INSTALL VERSUS THE OLDER INSTALL THAT I THINK YOU ALL ARE PROBABLY THINKING ABOUT WHEN THE STORM HIT AND CALLS FOR THAT THING TO FALL. SO AND RIGHTFULLY SO. WE SHOULD BE THINKING ABOUT THAT. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, MAYOR? COUNCIL. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE COMMERCIAL SIGN VARIANCE TO THE CITY'S SITE DEVELOPMENT CODE FOR SAINT DAVID'S EMERGENCY MEDICAL FACILITY WITH A REDUCTION. OF THE REQUESTED HEIGHT TO 35FT. WELL, MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE. IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND. SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM HILL. ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? JUST AS A REMINDER, WE HAVE DIRECTION ON GETTING THIS SPECS SPECIFICATIONS OUT TO COUNCIL MEMBERS. NO QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION BEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR. OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES SIX ONE.

DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION ON PURCHASING A CRANE SERVICE BODY TRUCK FOR LIFTING AND MOVING PUMPS, MOTORS AND OTHER EQUIPMENT, COMPONENTS OF WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNCIL. WE'RE HERE TO GET YOUR BLESSING ON PURCHASING A CRANE SERVICE BODY TRUCK. I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION HERE FOR YOU, AND I WANT TO I WANT TO COMMEND MY STAFF THERE. YOU CAN SEE THE SUPPORT I'VE GOT. AND I DO WANT TO HAVE DANIEL PASS OUT SOME OF THE MATERIAL HE HAS COME TOGETHER, PUT TOGETHER TO SHOW WHAT THIS TRUCK CAN DO FOR OUR UTILITY DEPARTMENT. AND IF YOU WOULD JUST PASS THAT OUT, PLEASE, SIR, CAN I GIVE YOU A BRIEF? WE DID KIND OF EXPLAIN THAT THIS TRUCK COULD USE WE COULD USE THIS TRUCK FOR PATROL DAILY. IT'S FOR ANYTHING TO PULLING WASTEWATER PUMPS OR PUMPS AT OUR WASTEWATER PLANT. IT COULD BE UTILIZED FOR DOING REPAIRS ON FIRE HYDRANTS, WATER PIPES, WATER VALVES. THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THAT WE'VE DONE ON OUR WELLS WHEN WE COULD HAVE UTILIZED THIS PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, INSTEAD OF HAVING TO USE A BACKHOE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO PICK UP PIPE. DANIEL DID DO. ALSO, WE DID FIGURE OUT WE THE TOTALS THAT IT COULD SAVE IN A YEAR IS ACTUALLY OVER 32,000. WHEN WE STARTED ADDING EXTRA STUFF THAT WE STARTED LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, DIGGING DEEPER AND DEEPER TO IT. THAT 32 INSTEAD OF THE 27. IS THAT JUST ALONE WAS JUST SOME OF THE REPAIR WORK WE HAD TO DO AT THE PUMPS, AT THE WASTEWATER PLANT. SO AND WHEN WE HAVE ALSO IT'S USUALLY WHEN YOU CALL THEM OUT, IT'S A FOUR HOUR MINIMUM. IT'S USUALLY AN HOUR, IF NOT MORE, TO GET THEM OUT AT SITE TO ACTUALLY PULL A PUMP OR DO DO WORK. YOU'LL KIND OF SEE
[01:05:09]
THE RATES THAT THEY DO. ONE THING I DID WANT TO KIND OF ADD WITH SOME OF HIS STUFF THAT HE DID CHANGE IN THERE, IS THAT WE DID HAVE OUR LEAK DETECTION REPORT COME IN FINALLY, AND WE HAD 37 FIRE HYDRANTS THAT WE NEEDED TO WORK ON. AND I'M PROUD OF THE GUYS RIGHT NOW. THEY THEY'VE ACTUALLY REPAIRED 14 OF THEM. HOW FAR DOES THE ARM EXTEND OUT? I DO BELIEVE I JUST ASKED THAT WAS THAT 8FT OR 30FT? I'M WAY OFF 30FT. 30FT. YES. I'M GLAD HE DID. AND THEN HE'S HERE.THE WEIGHT. YES, SIR. I DO HAVE THE. HE EVEN MADE ME A LITTLE SHEET I COULD LOOK AT TO. PRETTY FANCY. THE LIFT STATION PUMPS. THEY. OH, I WILL HAVE TO GET THAT ACTUALLY THE POUNDS BUT WE DID GET. HE EVEN WROTE DOWN HOW MUCH OF THE PUMP AND LIFT STATION. IT'S 800 TO 1000 POUNDS OF FIRE HYDRANT ASSEMBLY IS 6 TO 700 POUNDS. A 16 INCH GATE VALVE IS 900 POUNDS. JUST A JOINT OF DIE PIPE IS 1,200 POUNDS. AT FULL REACH. THE CRANE HAS A CAPACITY OF REACHING 1,565 POUNDS AND THAT'S FULLY EXTENDED. I GET THAT CORRECT. SO AT 30FT IT CAN DO 1500. YES, SIR. WHEN IT'S PULLED IN, IT CAN DO MORE THAN THAT. YES. WHICH ONE IS THAT? IS THAT THE 8,600 POUNDS AT WHEN IT'S PULLED IN OR DIRECT? I WOULD ASSUME IT'S A LOT MORE ONCE IT'S PULLED IN 8,600 POUNDS. HE NODDING BEHIND YOU. YEAH, I APPRECIATE IT. OKAY. QUESTIONS? COUNCIL MEMBERS. WHAT'S THE ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FOR THIS AND IS THERE ANY WARRANTY? YES, SIR.
THERE IS A THREE YEAR, 36 MILE BUMPER TO BUMPER. THAT'S FIVE YEARS, 60 MILE POWERTRAIN, FIVE YEAR, 60 MILE FOR ROADSIDE, FIVE YEAR, 100 000 MILE FOR THE DIESEL ENGINE. AND THERE'S ACTUALLY A FIVE YEARS OF THE STRUCTURE FOR THE CRANE, AND THERE'S A THREE YEARS FOR THE PAINT OF THAT MANUFACTURED PARTS, AND ANOTHER ONE YEAR FOR ANY OTHER LITTLE SPOTS WE WARRANTY FOR THAT CRANE. AND MY FAVORITE QUESTION IS THIS IN OUR BUDGET. YES, MA'AM. I'M SO SORRY. AND IT IS ABOVE BOARD PRICE. WE DID LOOK AT DIFFERENT DIFFERENT TRUCKS. THIS ONE IS A 24 BUT IT ONLY HAS 500 MILES ON IT. WE CAN GET IT NOW. IF WE GOT A NEWER ONE IT'D BE 6 TO 9 MONTHS OUT. SO WE'RE EXCITED TO GET IT. YEAH. SO WE STILL GET THE SAME WARRANTY. SO IT'S IN OUR CURRENT BUDGET. YES SIR. THERE'S FUNDS THERE. AND I CAN SAY COUNCIL ADDING THIS TO THE FLEET AGAIN WHEN YOU SEE THEM WORKING IT'S ONE TIME YOU WOULD SAY IT'S IT WAS A GOOD INVESTMENT JUST LIKE THE OTHER PIECE OF EQUIPMENT WE'VE, WE'VE ADDED. SO IT'S TAKEN US TIME TO ADD THESE THINGS. BUT WE KNOW EVERY YEAR OR EVERY TIME WE HAVE THIS REOCCURRING EVENT, WE GUYS, OUR GUYS FEEL LIKE WE ALWAYS BEAT SECOND OR THIRD ON THE LIST BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT'S NOT A PRIORITY. AND SOMETIMES THESE REPAIRS ARE TIMELY. SO THIS ALLOWS US NOT TO HAVE TO BABYSIT CERTAIN AREAS WHEN WE CAN HAVE THE EQUIPMENT ON SITE TO, TO MAKE THE REPAIRS. SO IT'S THE CREDIT TO THE GUYS TO BE ABLE TO SHOP AND BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THINGS LIKE THIS, TO KNOW WHEN WE BRING YOU NUMBERS DURING THE BUDGET IS TO LET YOU KNOW. THIS IS SOME OF THE LINE ITEM EXPENSES. IF WE GO BACK, YOU'LL SEE SOME LINE ITEMS THAT ARE PRETTY HIGH, AND OVER TIME WE CAN SEE THIS IS A WAY OF TRYING TO SAVE, BUT ALSO GIVE THEM EQUIPMENT TO DO THE JOBS MORE SAFELY AND EFFICIENTLY. YEAH. NOW, WHEN I GOT ON IN 2019, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WE ASKED WAS IN REGARDS TO THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE WERE PAYING TO RENT STUFF COMPARED TO PURCHASING. AND I THINK MATTER OF FACT, I REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS. IT WAS THE STREET MACHINE. IT WAS SOMETHING WE WERE WE WERE RENTING THE STREET. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. IT WAS LIKE THE STREET MACHINE OR SOMETHING THAT WE WERE PAYING ALL THIS MONEY FOR TO RENT. I WAS LIKE, SO Y'ALL LET US KNOW WHEN IT'S A IT'S MORE AFFORDABLE TO BUY IT VERSUS RENTING IT AND, YOU KNOW, OR WHATEVER. BUT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT WAY BACK THEN ABOUT WHEN, YOU KNOW, THAT TIMELINE OF SHIFTING FROM RENTING TO PURCHASING BECAUSE THE WORKLOAD CHANGES AND SO YEAH. AND JUST TO ADD TO IS THAT WE DID DO SOME MATH AND I DO BELIEVE IT'D BE PAID OFF. IT'S AT LEAST FOUR YEARS WOULD BE PAYING FOR ITSELF. I'M SURE WE HAVE MORE NUMBERS. IT'D BE PROBABLY A LOT LESS THAN THAT.
DO WE ALREADY HAVE SOMEONE PREPARED TO BE THE OPERATOR OF THIS VEHICLE? WE SURE DO. AND IT'S PRETTY SIMPLE. IT'S NOT IT'S NOT TOO HARD TO OPERATE. BUT THEY WILL. I'M SURE WE'LL GO
[01:10:02]
THROUGH THE WHOLE TRAINING OF HOW IT'S EXTENDED AND MAKE SURE YOU DON'T OVEREXTEND, OR IF IT NEEDS SOME ANCHORING AND STUFF LIKE THAT, AND YOU WILL HAVE SOMEONE IN TRAINING FOR BACKUP PERSON. YES, MA'AM. OKAY. THANK YOU. YOU SEE, SEVERAL OF THEM ARE EXCITED. I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO BE ALL IN LINE. CAN I RUN IT? AND I WANTED TO ALSO ADD THIS WILL ALSO HELP US START DOING MORE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE INSTEAD OF US HAVING WHAT WE CALL RAGS IN THE SEWER PUMPS AND STUFF, THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY DO THAT ON A MONTHLY BASIS, PULL THEM, CLEAN IT OUT, PUT THEM BACK IN. SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO GEAR TOWARDS MORE IN OUR DEPARTMENT WHERE WE DO MORE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE, NOT WAIT TO HAVE 22 HYDRANTS THAT ARE LEAKING. YES, MA'AM. YEAH. 37. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR EMOTION. IS THERE ROOM TO STORE THIS VEHICLE? YES, MA'AM. IT'S REALLY IF YOU'VE EVER SEEN THOSE TRUCKS, IT'S JUST A FOUR DOOR TRUCK THAT'S GOT THE UTILITY BED WITH A CRANE. SO IT'LL BE ABLE TO WE'LL BE ABLE TO PARK IT RIGHT WHERE OUR OTHER FLEET IS AT. YEAH, IT LOOKS LIKE THE ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE A WHITE TRUCK WITH A BUNCH OF COMPARTMENTS. AND I PULLED IT UP TO MAKE SURE I KNEW WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT.YEAH, AND YOU'LL SEE, IT'S USUALLY A CRANE ON THE VERY BACK. YEAH, YEAH, I JUST FEEL LIKE Y'ALL HAVE A LOT. AND SO IF YOUR GARAGE SPACE IS GETTING KIND OF TIGHT, THEN. YEAH, THAT THAT IS SOMETHING WE DEFINITELY NEED TO WORK TOWARDS A GARAGE. WE WANT TO HAVE. WE GOT A GARAGE. WE. DEFINITELY ON THE RADAR BECAUSE YEAH, IT'S A GOOD POINT BECAUSE THERE'S EQUIPMENT THAT NEEDS TO STAY WARM DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR EMOTION? I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF A CRANE SERVICE BODY TRUCK WITH ROCKDALE COUNTRY FORD FOR AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED 1065, $165,730. WELL, MOTION ON FORMER COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE IS THERE A SECOND SECOND? MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. YOU'LL SEE THE SMILES. SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN WEIR.

POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENTS OF THE CITY. PORTIONS OF ROADWAY ON SUNCREST AND JOHNSON ROAD. WE TALKED ABOUT THIS A WHILE BACK, ABOUT THAT STRETCH AND COUNCIL MEMBERS, I THINK Y'ALL BROUGHT SOME IMAGES. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS HERE OR WORKSHOP AND YOU HAD THE DIFFERENT PARTS. ONE PART WAS OURS, ONE PART WAS COUNTY, AND WE TALKED ABOUT KIND OF THE RESIDENTIAL COMPLAINTS. AND THEN YOU ALL SHOWED US SOME MAPS OR ACTUALLY SOME FIGURES IN CIP FIGURES IN REGARDS TO THIS PLAN AND THAT PLAN AND HOW IT WOULD UNFOLD. YES, SIR. AND THERE'S SOME ATTACHMENTS TO THAT. YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THOSE PICTURES AND IT'S GOT THE FOOTAGE ON THERE AND IT'D BE GREAT. WE HAD TRAVIS COUNTY COME OUT LIKE YOU'D SAID. THEY DID THEIR PORTIONS, AND THERE'S LITTLE SPOTS THAT ARE OURS. SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE MAKE IT UNIFORM AND IT NEEDS THE WORK. YEAH. IT'S TERRIBLE. YES, SIR.

[01:15:02]
FOR STAFF HAS RECOMMENDS THAT COUNCIL GIVE DIRECTION TO CITY STAFF REGARDING THE AMENDMENT TO THE PID POLICY. YES, MA'AM. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS VERONICA RIVERA, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY. THIS ITEM WAS POSTPONED FROM THE LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING SO THAT A RED LINE COULD BE PROVIDED TO YOU WITH PROPOSED CHANGES. YOU HAVE THAT IN YOUR BACKUP. IF YOU'D LIKE. I CAN GO THROUGH THE RED LINE AND PROVIDE YOU INFORMATION ON THE REVISIONS THAT WERE. NOT THAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING, BUT THAT IT WAS AT THE DIRECTION OF PID COMMITTEE AND ALSO SOME SOME CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS. AND THEN WE DID HAVE COMMENTS FROM CITY STAFF. MR. JONES COULD NOT BE HERE, BUT HE DID INCLUDE SOME COMMENTS THAT WERE ALSO INCORPORATED INTO THAT RED LINE.THE ONE THING THAT WASN'T INCORPORATED THAT HE HAD INCLUDED WAS DISCLOSURE AIMING AT COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES. THAT IS NOT REQUIRED. THIS IS A REQUIREMENT BY STATE STATUTE FOR HOME BUYERS. AND SO THAT'S WHY THERE WERE NO CHANGES MADE IN THE RED LINE PROVIDED. BUT HE DID WANT TO STRESS THAT MR. JONES, OF COURSE, WANTS TO STRESS THAT AMENDMENT, THAT THIS AMENDMENT SHOULD INCLUDE MORE COMMERCIAL LANGUAGE OR FUTURE AMENDMENTS BECAUSE HE IT'S HIS OPINION THAT MORE COMMERCIAL PIDS WILL BE COMING TO YOU IN THE FUTURE. YES, MA'AM. I DO HAVE A QUESTION IN REGARDS TO DEVELOPMENTAL STANDARDS. NUMBER ONE, WHERE WE HAVE THE ADDITIONAL DRAINAGE FACILITIES. I THINK WE HAD SOME SIDEBAR CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THAT INFORMALLY. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT DRAINAGE OVER PARKS AND TRAILS. SO CAN SOMEONE KIND OF WALK THROUGH THAT LANGUAGE FOR THAT NUMBER ONE? SO AGAIN. MY. ALL OF MY PAPERS. SO THIS WAS INCLUDED IN THERE BECAUSE OF COMMENTS RECEIVED. SO IF I'M UNDERSTANDING YOU CORRECTLY MAYOR, YOU WANT FURTHER. FURTHER CLARIFICATION THAT IT'S NOT DRAINAGE FACILITIES OVER PARKS AND TRAILS. NO, I WANT TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE HOW IT READS, LET ME LET ME READ IT ONE MORE TIME. HOW THEY MUST INCLUDE IMPROVEMENTS THAT ENHANCE THE CITY'S MASTER PLAN, INCLUDING THE CITY'S THOROUGHFARE PLAN AND WATER WASTEWATER PLANS, DRAINAGE FACILITIES AND ENHANCE CITY TRAILS, PARKS AND PARKLAND OPEN SPACE. SO IN MOST OF OUR PIDS, A LOT OF WE GET A LOT OF PARKLAND, BUT WE ALSO GET A LOT OF LAND THAT'S DONATED. BUT IT'S REALLY DRAINAGE. SPACES. AND SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I THINK WE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. COUNCIL MEMBERS, I THOUGHT WE HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS ABOUT MORE MORE OF THE LAND BEING PARK RELATED STUFF, TRAIL RELATED STUFF, THEN ACTUAL FOCUSING ON NOT SAYING WE DON'T NEED DRAINAGE, JUST SAYING THAT WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE CONTRIBUTIONS BACK BECAUSE OF THE PID, THAT WE'RE GETTING MORE PARK LAND FOR PARKS, OPEN SPACE AND WALKABLE TRAILS AND THAT KIND OF THING. THAT THAT KIND OF WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT. YEAH, I THINK IT WASN'T THAT DURING OUR BUDGET MEETING. YEAH, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT. SO DO WE WANT TO REMOVE DRAINAGE FACILITIES BECAUSE WE DID INCLUDE THAT THEY WOULD HAVE PARKLAND, OPEN SPACE AND WALKABLE. WELL, I GUESS THE QUESTION IS IN THE THEY HAVE TO DO DRAINAGE ALREADY IN THE CODE, RIGHT? YES, SIR. SO IS THERE IS THIS WOULD BE A QUESTION TO Y'ALL'S STAFF IN REGARDS TO IS THERE DO WE NEED TO HAVE THAT LISTED ALSO IN THERE IF IT'S ALREADY A REQUIREMENT ON CODE FOR DRAINAGE? SO NO. I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT DRAINAGE FACILITIES IT DEPENDS ON ON THE ESTHETICS TOO. BECAUSE SOMETIMES IF YOU LOOK UP AT HOME DEPOT THEY HAVE THE IT'S A MAINTENANCE THING AND IT'S MORE IF YOU HAVE DRAINAGE FACILITIES. I THINK YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THE MAINTENANCE PIECE OF IT TOO, BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT LINED WITH CONCRETE OR SOMETHING, IF YOU GET THOSE SUNFLOWERS AND ALL THAT STUFF GROWING IN IT. SO IF THAT'S SOMETHING WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT DOESN'T BECOME A MAINTENANCE OR EYESORE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT, WE CAN WE CAN PUT DRAINAGE FACILITIES WOULD BE MAKE SURE THOSE THOSE BOXES ARE CLEANED OUT IN SOME WAY. WE CAN GET IN THERE SAFELY. AND IF
[01:20:05]
THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT'S ADDRESSED, IT DOESN'T LEAVE THE QUESTION OF YOU GOT YOUR DETENTION, YOU GOT YOUR DRAINAGE, BUT HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN THOSE THOSE FACILITIES? AND MAYBE, MAYBE WE ALSO DIDN'T APPROACH ADDRESS THIS CODE THING AND HAVE A HAVE SOME CONVERSATION IN REGARDS TO CODE FOR DRAINAGE FACILITIES AND REQUIRE CERTAIN LEVEL DEVELOPMENTS TO HAVE THAT HIGHER STANDARD OF DRAINAGE. SO WE DON'T INCENTIVIZE. SO WE'RE NOT DOING IT BECAUSE THE PAID TO ME IS AN ECONOMIC TOOL. AND SO WHEN WE USE THE ECONOMIC TOOL, WE GOT TO LOOK AT WHAT WE'RE GETTING BACK FOR ADVANCING THE ECONOMICS FOR THIS PROJECT TO WORK. AND SO GETTING BACK WHAT THEY SHOULD ALREADY BE DOING IN DRAINAGE AND WATER AND WASTEWATER STUFF, YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK IT'S A GREAT USAGE IF WE'RE IF WE'RE. SO MY DIRECTION WOULD BE TO MAYBE ADDRESS CODE FOR LARGER FACILITIES AND LARGER DEVELOPMENTS THAT HAVE A HIGHER LEVEL OF DRAINAGE EXPECTATIONS. SO TO HAVE PREVENTION FOR THOSE FLOWER BEDS OR, YOU KNOW, THE WILDLIFE, THE GRASS THAT GROWS SO THICK THAT LIKE OFFERING DRIVE, ALL THAT GRASS, YOU KNOW, IS BLOCKING THE FLOW OF THE WATER. YOU KNOW, I WOULD SAY JUST HAVE A HIGHER, BETTER CODE FOR THAT. AFTER WE DID TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND READ IT THE WAY IT SAYS IT, ENHANCING THE DRAINAGE FACILITY. SO THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE A GOOD THING TO HAVE IN THERE. SO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FIXING SOME OF OUR DRAINAGE ISSUES. YEAH. BECAUSE WHEN YOU. EXCUSE ME. NO, NO I SAID WHEN YOU GO TO SOME OTHER, OTHER SUBDIVISION, OTHER COMMERCIALS, I'M THINKING ABOUT THE ONE IN BASTROP, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THEIR DETENTION IS KIND OF LINED WITH SOME NICE IT FITS WITH THE, THE DEVELOPMENT. I THINK IF YOU LOOK OVER WHERE BOJANGLES IS GOING TO GO, WHERE THEY KIND OF HAVE SOM, SOME ROCKS ALREADY KIND OF SET UP. SO WE KNOW IF THAT'S GOING TO BE THE STANDARD, WE CAN SAY THIS IS WHAT WE WANT. SO IT DOESN'T COME BACK TO WHERE YOU HAVE A MAINTENANCE ISSUE FOR THE DEVELOPER OR FOR THE CITY TO HAVE TO ENFORCE THE VIOLATION. IT COULD BE MORE OF A ESTHETIC IMPROVEMENT THAT THAT'S PART OF A CODE. SO IT DOESN'T COME BACK TO I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEANT.AND WE CAN ALWAYS POINT TO THOSE DEVELOPMENTS TO SAY THIS IS WHAT THEY ALREADY HAVE IN PLACE FOR US TO FOLLOW. THE OTHER THING I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE DIRECTION ON IS ENSURING THAT THERE'S A FINANCIAL MODEL IN PLACE I LIKE. I UNDERSTAND WHAT JONES WAS ADDING THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE PIECE, BECAUSE THAT CAN HELP WITH THE OVERALL COST OF THE PROJECT. IF THE PED IS INCLUDING CERTAIN PROJECTS THAT GENERATE A CERTAIN AD VALOREM, THEN THE COMMUNITY WE JUST CREATED IS SELF-SUSTAINING WITH MAINTENANCE COSTS AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.
SO BUT I'D LIKE TO MAKE SURE LIKE SOMEWHERE IN THE POLICY THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE, THE, THE PREDICTED FINANCIAL VALUATION OF THE PED PROJECT, BASICALLY THE WHEN IT'S BUILT, THE BUILD OUT COST WOULD DO HAVE ENOUGH MONEY IN IT TO COVER MAINTENANCE, MAINTENANCE AND FUTURE MAINTENANCE AND STREETS, DRAINAGE, WATER, WASTEWATER FIXES AND STUFF LIKE THAT. THE PROJECT TAKES CARE OF ITSELF SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, AMEND BUDGETS AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T THE PROJECT'S NOT GENERATING ENOUGH INCOME. SO JUST TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION, YOU KNOW, THE CITY'S COST OF ADDING THAT PROJECT IN FROM WATER, WASTEWATER TO STREETS, POLICE, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THAT. SO TO ANSWER THAT COMMENT, MAYOR, WE CAN DEFINITELY ADD AND I'LL HAVE TO FIND A SECTION TO ADD THAT IN THERE WITH REGARD TO ENTERING, THEN INTO A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WHEN YOU'RE HAVING. WHEN A DEVELOPER IS REQUESTING A PID, THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WOULD THEN WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT THAT VALUATION AND MAKING SURE THAT STAFF AND DEVELOPER ENTER INTO EITHER LICENSE AGREEMENTS OR OTHER DOCUMENTS WHERE. THE ALL OF THE ITEMS THAT YOU MENTIONED ARE COVERED OR ARE SELF-SUSTAINING, OR BECAUSE OF THE AD VALOREM TAXES THAT ARE COMING IN THAT CITY, WILL HAVE ENOUGH. ENOUGH. FINANCIAL ASSETS COMING IN TO HAVE THAT TAKEN CARE OF. SO WE CAN DEFINITELY DO THAT THROUGH A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT WE WOULD BE BRINGING BACK TO YOU. OKAY.
OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS. IF, IF I MAY, I ALSO MEANT TO JUST CLARIFY ON SOME OF THE ITEMS
[01:25:07]
THAT WE PUT IN HERE BECAUSE OF INPUT FROM MR. JONES. IF YOU LOOK ON PAGE TWO OR I DON'T KNOW THE PAGE NUMBERING IN YOUR BACKUP MATERIALS, BUT IT'S THE SECOND PAGE OF THE POLICY.THERE'S A RED LINE AT THE VERY TOP WHERE IT SAYS A COST OF 50 TO 75 PER RESIDENTIAL LOT, 100 TO 250 FOR COMMERCIAL LOT. WE DID HAVE INFORMATION THAT YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR HAD PROVIDED FOR RESIDENTIAL LOTS, BUT WE DO NOT HAVE INFORMATION WITH REGARD TO COMMERCIAL LOTS. SO AT FIRST WE HAD ONLY INCLUDED $200 AND THE ECONOMIC DIRECTOR MENTIONED THAT THAT WAS NOT SUFFICIENT. SO THAT'S WHY WE WENT AHEAD AND PUT 200 TO 300. BUT AGAIN, THAT IS ALSO YOUR DECISION TO MAKE ON WHETHER THAT IS SUFFICIENT OR IF WE NEED TO LOOK AT AT HAVING A, A, A LARGER RANGE FOR YOU ALL TO DECIDE WHEN A PID, A COMMERCIAL PID COMES TO YOU OR A MULTIFAMILY PID COMES TO YOU, I CAN TELL YOU THAT MOST OF THE TIME IT WOULDN'T JUST BE A MULTIFAMILY, IT'LL BE COMBINATION AND THE SAME THING FOR COMMERCIAL, BUT MOST OF THE MOST OF THE PIDS THAT YOU HAVE APPROVED PREVIOUSLY, EXCEPT FOR IN TROTTA GLENN, HAVE BEEN RESIDENTIAL. AND THOSE ARE THE MAIN ONES THAT THAT THE CITY HAS DONE. AND TROTTA GLENN WAS A COMMERCIAL PID THAT IS A LITTLE BIT MORE DIFFICULT. AND YOU CAN TELL THAT IT TOOK US A LONG TIME TO GET TO THAT. BUT AGAIN, THAT'S WHY THERE ISN'T REALLY MUCH BACKGROUND TO DETERMINE WHAT WHAT KIND OF FEE WE'RE LOOKING AT. SO THAT'S WHY WE PROVIDED YOU A RANGE. BUT AGAIN IT'S YOUR DECISION TO MAKE ON WHETHER THAT RANGE WORKS OR NOT OR IF YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE IT, YOU KNOW, 200 TO 500 OR OTHER NUMBERS. AND THEN THE OTHER ITEM THAT I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT, BUT I THINK YOU PROBABLY NOTICE IT IS ITEM NUMBER FIVE UNDER DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT OF COURSE, YOUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR REQUESTED. AND THEN. THERE WAS ONLY ONE OTHER ITEM THAT I WANTED TO POINT OUT, WHICH IS ON UNDER MAXIMUM ASSESSMENT. THAT'S ON PAGE THREE. IN YOUR THE SECOND TIME THAT WE REVISE OR THAT WE AMENDED THE CITY'S PID POLICY, STATE STATUTE HAD CHANGED WITH REGARD TO THE YOUR TAXES AND THE CAP ON PROPERTY TAXES. SO 326 IS WHAT WE HAD A COMBINED TAX RATE. AND THEN IN THE SECOND AMENDMENT WE ADDED OR A PID RATE OF $0.30, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT THE FACT THAT NOW YOU HAD A LOWER PROPERTY RATE, AND THEN YOUR DEVELOPER WAS GOING TO COME IN AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT AND GO ALL THE WAY UP TO 326. HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE CHANGES THAT ARE GOING ON RIGHT NOW WITH THE TARIFFS AND WITH THE INTEREST RATES AND EVERYTHING ELSE, WE ACTUALLY HAD ONE DEVELOPERS COUNT. LEGAL COUNSEL ASK IF THE CITY COUNCIL WOULD CONSIDER INCREASING THE RATE YOU'VE ALREADY HAD. I THINK WE'VE HAD TWO PIDS THAT ONE OF THEM WAS FOR MUSTANG VALLEY, WHERE YOU ARE AWARE THAT WE HAD ALREADY APPROVED A 35 CENT, I THINK, OR OR MORE THAN THAT. AND THEN MANOR HEIGHTS, BECAUSE IT'S STARTED, OR THE PID WAS CREATED PRIOR TO THE AMENDMENT THAT WE DID THE SECOND AMENDMENT THERE AT 33. SO I JUST WANTED TO POINT THOSE OUT FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. IF YOU WANTED TO CHANGE THAT. BUT THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE'VE DONE. IT'S JUST A COMMENT THAT WAS MADE BY ONE OF THE DEVELOPERS, LEGAL COUNSEL. THANK YOU MUCH. ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT.
WELL, I THINK YOU HAVE SOME DIRECTION. MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER 21. CONSIDER DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION. SO Y'ALL TELL ME SOMETHING. YOU MEAN MORE THAN THAT. I'M TRYING TO GET THROUGH IT. ALL RIGHT.
