YOU MAY BE SEATED. ALL RIGHT. FIRST UP ON OUR AGENDA COUNCIL, IS PUBLIC COMMENTS. AND WE HAVE
[PUBLIC COMMENTS]
TONIGHT LET'S SEE TWO PUBLIC COMMENTS AND THEN WE'LL MOVE THROUGH THE AGENDA. FROM THERE.LET'S SEE. FIRST UP, MR. ROBERT. AND YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES SIR. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. MY NAME IS ROBERT BATTLE. I, I MARKED THE BOX FOR HEARING. I WANT TO TALK ON BOTH HEARINGS, IF YOU DON'T MIND. BASICALLY WHAT'S HAPPENED IS THAT THE DEVELOPERS, THE BOND SALES PEOPLE AND THE CONSULTANTS HAVE TAKEN OVER OUR TOWN. WITH YOUR HELP. THIS IS A MAP THAT WAS IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OF WHAT YOU GUYS WANT TO DO WITH THE DOWNTOWN. I WAS TALKING AT THE ERASE OUR BLACK HISTORY MONTH A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. AND SONIA, I WAS TELLING A LADY IN THE WHEELCHAIR, THIS IS WHAT THE CITY WANTS TO DO. SONIA INTERRUPTED ME AND SAYS, WE DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. SO AFTER I'M DONE, YOU CAN EITHER TELL THE TRUTH OR YOU CAN SAY, THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. NOW, I CONTEND THAT THE REASON OUR PARKS ARE EMPTY IS BECAUSE THE MAYOR GREW UP IN A RELIGIOUS CULT. HIS FATHER, THE PREACHER, WOULDN'T LET HIM PLAY WITH OTHER CHILDREN. WE'RE NOT GOING TO BRING FAMILY MEMBERS IN OR YOU'LL BE ESCORTED OUT. YOU CAN TALK ABOUT ME. ALL YOU WANT IS MY IN MY CAPACITIES. BUT YOU WILL NOT ADDRESS MY PARENTS. SO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. WELL, YOU DON'T REALLY GET TO TELL ME WHAT TO TALK ABOUT, ACTUALLY, IS YOUR WARNING. PARDON ME? I WANT MY TIME BACK. BY THE WAY, THAT LITTLE LECTURE YOU JUST GAVE ME, I WANT THAT BACK, AND I'M GOING TO TIME IT. AND IF IT'S NOT OUT, I'M GETTING THREE MINUTES AND 36 SECONDS. OKAY, WELL, WHAT I'M DOING NOW, WHAT I'M SAYING IS, I THINK YOU GREW UP IN A RELIGIOUS CULT AND YOU WEREN'T ALLOWED TO PLAY WITH OTHER KIDS, AND THAT'S WHY OUR PARKS ARE EMPTY. SO IF WHEN I'M DONE, YOU CAN CORRECT THE RECORD. OKAY, NOW. YOU HAVE A BUNCH OF THINGS IN HERE THAT MY NEW TECHNIQUE IS THAT I'M GOING TO START FILING MUNICIPAL COURT COMPLAINTS. EVERY TIME YOU GUYS SCREW UP AND YOU BLOW THE RULES, YOU DO ILLEGAL STUFF. I'VE GOT 15 IN THERE. NOW, THIS ONE. WHERE YOU BUY THIS 8.3 ACRES, YOU NEED TO SAY WHY WE BOUGHT IT AND YOU NEED TO SHOW A PRICE IN THERE. YOU DON'T GET TO JUST PUT FIFTH AMENDMENT, BLAH BLAH.
THIS YEAR, THE MAYOR'S BALL. IT'S NOT EVEN PRETENDING TO BE A FUNDRAISER THIS YEAR. IT'S JUST A SLUSH FUND IN THE BUDGET. I DIDN'T SEE WHERE YOU GUYS VOTED ON A BUDGET. MAYBE I MISSED IT, BUT. SO MY NEXT COMPLAINT IS GOING TO BE ABOUT THE MAYOR'S BALL. AND I'M GOING TO INCLUDE THE FINANCE DIRECTOR, BECAUSE YOU DON'T GET TO JUST PUT SLUSH FUND MONEY SO YOU AND YOUR CRONIES CAN GO BOOZE IT UP. YOU KNOW, THIS NONSENSE OF IT BEING A REGIONAL OR NOT A REGIONAL, BUT A CITYWIDE EVENT IS A JOKE. I ASKED FOR THE PICTURES AND I WAS TOLD THERE
[00:05:03]
WAS NO PICTURES BY THE CITY SECRETARY. BUT THERE'S A VIDEO OF YOU THERE. THAT'S ANOTHER COMPLAINT I'M GOING TO FILE AGAINST MISS ALVAREZ. OKAY. NOW, SPEAKING OF. EXCUSE ME, LET ME CHECK MY NOTES HERE. THIS NONSENSE ABOUT ONLY GETTING TO TALK FOR FIVE MINUTES IS ANOTHER THING THAT I'VE FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT. AND BY THE WAY, THE THE ONE WHERE YOU IGNORED THE GDPR, YOU SPENT 32,000 ON GDPR NEXT TO THE CEMETERY, AND I ASKED TO SEE THE MAP AND I WAS TOLD THERE'S NO RESPONSIVE RECORDS. I FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT THAT. AND GUESS WHAT? IT'S GONE UP TO TRAVIS COUNTY SO THEY CAN SIT ON IT FOR A YEAR. OOPS. I'M SORRY. SO I HOPE I CAN TALK ON THESE TWO PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS. BUT SPEAKING OF THE TOURS, WHEN IT SINCE I CAN'T TALK, THIS IS THE TOURS MAP TOURS TWO. IT USED TO BE WE WERE A REGIONAL LEADER.NOW WE'RE BLIGHTED. WHAT'S BLIGHTED ABOUT WHAT'S BLIGHTED ABOUT PETE DWYER'S PROPERTY OVER THERE? THESE TOURS YOU ARE GIVING AWAY 2,050% OF THE PROPERTY TAXES FOR 25 YEARS.
THERE'S NOTHING BLIGHTED OVER HERE THAT'S NOT BLIGHTED. THAT'S. YOU'RE PUTTING 400 APARTMENTS THERE. WHAT'S BLIGHTED ABOUT PUTTING 400 APARTMENTS? IN TOURS? THREE.
SAME THINGS YOU GOT TO SAY, WHY IT'S BLIGHTED AND YOU GOT TO GIVE THE PROPERTY OWNERS. BUT IN THIS TIME, WITH WHAT YOU CALL IT, DT OR WHATEVER THEIR NAME IS, THEY DIDN'T PUT THE PROPERTY OWNERS. SO I FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT THAT. AND BY THE WAY, IT HAS TO BE A CLASS C MISDEMEANOR AND THE MAXIMUM FINE IS 500 BUCKS. SO NO BIG DEAL. IT'S A COURT OF NO RECORD.
YOU KNOW, THE COURT, YOU GAVE AN AWARD TO A COURT, YOU MADE A PROCLAMATION ABOUT A COURT OF NO RECORD. THAT'S CORRUPTION. YOU COULD HAVE BEEN A LEADER STATEWIDE, BUT INSTEAD YOU FELL WITH THE CORRUPTION. ALSO, THIS NONSENSE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY'S BEING THE PROSECUTOR AT THE COURT OF NO RECORD IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. DO YOU THINK THE CITY ATTORNEY'S EVER GOING TO BRING A CASE AGAINST YOU? PARDON ME? THAT'S YOUR TIME. OKAY, GOOD. I'LL BE CHECKING IT SOMEDAY. MAYBE WE'LL GET A TIMER LIGHT UP HERE. I KNOW 200 BUCKS IS TOO MUCH FOR THIS GREAT CITY. WHO? REMIND THE AUDIENCE THIS IS A CITY COUNCIL MEETING. ALL COMMENTS AND. COMMUNICATIONS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, NOT ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE OR NOT. ANY CITY STAFF MEMBERS. NEXT. MISS BETHANY. AND WE HAVE YOU DOWN FOR THREE MINUTES. OKAY? I DUE TO MY HEALTH, I'VE PREPARED MY STATEMENT THREE MINUTES ON A RECORDING. IS THAT OKAY? SURE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. HERE GOES. OF ALL THIS BABY FOOD POLITICS CAN THEN READ. TAKE THIS WALL OUT OF YOUR EARS. I DO NOT SEE HOW YOU CAN TURN A BLIND EYE AND ALLOW CODE AN ORDINANCE. RAPE. IS THIS NOT HALLOWED GROUND? I DON'T HAVE BLIND EYES, I SEE YOU, I SEE YOU BREAKING THE LAW WHEN IT SAYS YOU CANNOT REMOVE OR REPLACE. THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS WHEN IT SAYS A BUFFER YARD IS 150FT. THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS WHEN IT SAYS THAT YOU HAVE TO INTEGRATE WHAT IS ALREADY THERE INTO YOUR DESIGN. THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS TO WATCH AND HEAR THAT THESE PEOPLE WANT TO DEFILE THE CODE. AN ORDINANCE SO GRAPHICALLY, IS IT NOT THE SAME AS ANY OTHER VIOLATION OF LAW? HOW CAN YOU WALK AS IF YOU'RE HIGHER THAN ANY OTHER CRIMINAL, WHEN YOU TWO DON'T UPHOLD AND ABIDE BY THE CODE AND ORDINANCE? I THINK THAT DOLPHIN AND NOW ALL OF US ARE BEING TAKEN FOR FOOLS BY THESE CONCEPT DESIGNERS. YOU SHOULDN'T TRUST PEOPLE WHO ALL THE TIME BRING YOU WHAT EXACTLY SEEMS LIKE YOU NEED. THERE'S MORE TO IT THAN THAT. IF I HAD THAT PROPERTY AND NEEDED WAREHOUSES TO MAKE, AND I HAD A REQUIREMENT TO PUT 22 ACRES OF LANDSCAPING INTO IT, AND ALL THESE CODE AND ORDINANCES TO JUMP THROUGH, I WOULD INCORPORATE AS MUCH OF THE 22 ACRE LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENT INTO THE BUFFER YARD REQUIRED AREA, AND MAKE A BEAUTIFUL NATURE PRESERVE SURROUNDING. MY WAREHOUSES ARE JUST IN FRONT OF IT ON HILL DRIVE THAT MIMIC THE TRAILS ALONG LADY BIRD LAKE.
[00:10:01]
THIS MENTALITY THAT WAREHOUSE IS A WAREHOUSE IS A WAREHOUSE IS SAD. IT'S INHUMANE. EVER HEARD OF EARTH TONES? THESE BUILDINGS CREATE LARGE, GLARING DEFICITS IN OUR COMMUNITIES, BENEFITING VERY FEW PEOPLE. BUT DOES IT REALLY HAVE TO BE THAT WAY? CAN WE NOT REVISE THIS VIOLATION OF A CONCEPT PLAN? THESE CONCEPT DESIGNERS SHOULD REDO THIS CONCEPT DESIGN WORK FOR YOU, DOLPHIN FOR FREE, BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONES WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO GIVE YOU WORK THAT COMPLIES WITH THE CODE AND ORDINANCES. YOU SHOULDN'T PAY EXTRA TO PEOPLE WHO DON'T DO THE WORK CORRECTLY, IN A WAY, CODE AND ORDINANCES FLAWED FOR BOTH PARTIES, THE PEOPLE OF THE COMMUNITY AND THE DEVELOPER FOR. WHY WOULD WE WANT TO TAKE 22 ACRES AND DECORATE A WAREHOUSE NO ONE GOES TO BUT TO WORK INSIDE? WHO DOES THAT BENEFIT? WHY NOT? RATHER, WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WALKING TRAIL LOOP FILLED WITH OLD HERITAGE TREES AND LANDSCAPING THAT IS FULL OF HUNDREDS OF YEAR OLD NATIVE BIOLOGICAL HABITAT. THIS IS NOW AND REAL HEALTHY NATURE TO ACCESS. THAT'S PROTECTED BY CODE AND ORDINANCE FOR THE CITIZENS BENEFIT. NOW, NOT IN 100 YEARS LIKE DOLPHINS PLAN IS PROPOSING HERE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. PUBLIC HEARINGS[PUBLIC HEARINGS]
CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING ON LEVY ON ASSETS AND MUSTANG VALLEY PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT IS NUMBER ONE. AND. LET'S SEE HERE.MR. ROBERT, YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. BEFORE YOU SPEAK. I WANT TO MAKE SURE I POINT OUT SOMETHING TO YOU. ALL OF THE PUBLIC COMMENT CARDS NEED TO BE COMPLETED IN FULL BEFORE THEY'RE SUBMITTED AND WHEN WHEN THEY'RE SUBMITTED AND THE TIME PASS, WE'RE NOT TO TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THOSE CALLS. THAT'S THE PROCESS THAT'S IN PLACE. SO I'M ALLOWING YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN PUBLIC COMMENT FOR NUMBER ONE. AND TWO, I'M CHOOSING TO DO THAT BECAUSE YOUR YOUR CARD DID NOT HAVE ONE AND TWO ON HERE OKAY. YES. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.
GO AHEAD OKAY. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BASICALLY WATER RUNOFF CAUSED BY A DEVELOPER. AND THEY WANT TO ESSENTIALLY INSTEAD OF WELL BASICALLY THE QUESTION IS THEY NEED TO DO IT RIGHT AND WHO'S GOING TO PAY FOR IT. THE PEOPLE THAT SHOULD PAY FOR IT ARE THE PEOPLE THAT BUY THE HOUSES. KRISTA SQUIRES PROPERTIES RIGHT OVER THERE. AND. THERE IS NO QUESTION ABOUT WHAT'S CAUSING THE RUNOFF. THE THE RUNOFF IS CAUSED BY NON-PERMEABLE SURFACES, CONCRETE ROOF TOPS, ETC. THIS NONSENSE THAT YOU GUYS BUILT EVERYBODY IN THE STATE OR NOT THE STATE, BUT THE CITY, 6 TO $7 A MONTH FOR A STORMWATER FEE. EXCUSE ME SIR. YEAH, I'M PAUSING AT TWO AT TWO MINUTES. MY QUESTION TO YOU IS THIS PUBLIC HEARING IS ABOUT LEVYING THE ASSESSMENTS ON MUSTANG VALLEY PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT. YEAH. SO THAT'S WHAT THE PUBLIC HEARING IS FOR. IF YOU'RE. THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. WE SHOULD NOT BE PAYING THAT WATER STORMWATER FEE. THEY SHOULD PAY IT FOR THEIR AREA. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE LEVYING OF ASSESSMENTS. YES, I AM OKAY. IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE YOU WERE GOING TO ALLOW YOU TO CONTINUE. WELL, ISN'T THAT TRUE? FOR WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A LEVYING OF ASSESSMENTS FOR OPIATES. ISN'T WATER AND WASTEWATER PART OF THAT OKAY. IS IT NOT? NOT IN THE CONTEXT OF WHAT THE AGENDA ITEM IS FOR. SO I'M JUST WANTING TO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU STAY ON STAY ON TASK FOR THAT ONE. WELL, THE POINT IS THE AMOUNT OF THE ASSESSMENT NEEDS TO BE BASED ON THE MITIGATION OF THE WATER RUNOFF AND OTHER FACTORS THAT THE DEVELOPERS ARE CAUSING. SO IN THE BROADER CONTEXT, ALL THESE DEVELOPERS ARE CAUSING SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO PAY THEM. AND WE DON'T. WE WANT THE HOME BUYERS TO PAY THEM. SO THE FEE NEEDS TO REFLECT THE COST OF BUILDING THAT RETAINING WALL. THEY DON'T GET TO SLIDE ON IT, AND IF THEY DON'T WANT TO PASS IT ON TO THEIR PROPERTY PURCHASERS, THEY NEED TO PAY FOR IT THEMSELVES. THESE DEVELOPERS ARE JUST REALLY FREELOADERS FOR THE MOST PART,
[00:15:01]
AND THEY TRY TO GET AS MUCH AS THEY POSSIBLY CAN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COME ON UP, SIR. OH, MAN. MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS VERONICA RIVERA, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY. WE ASK THAT YOU, IF YOU CHOOSE TO MAKE A MOTION TO PLEASE GO AHEAD AND KEEP THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN UNTIL THE DECEMBER 17TH MEETING. AND ALSO TO POSTPONE ITEM NUMBER SEVEN WHEN IT COMES UP UNTIL DECEMBER 17TH AS WELL. MAYOR COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE KEEP THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ITEM NUMBER ONE OPEN UNTIL OUR DECEMBER 17TH, 2025 MEETING. SECOND WELL, MOTION BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE. SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN WEIR. ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? BEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES. NEXT, WE HAVE ITEM NUMBER TWO FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING FOR CREATION OF A TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE.TEARS NUMBER THREE, CONTAINING APPROXIMATELY 2,941.6 ACRES OF LAND WITHIN THE CITY OF MANER AND CITY'S EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION. MR. ROBERT. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. THIS IS A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF US GIVING AWAY STUFF UNNECESSARILY TO DEVELOPERS. TERSE THREE. IS BASICALLY GOING TO GIVE THESE DEVELOPERS 50% OF THE PROPERTY TAXES FOR 25 YEARS, 25 YEARS.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT IT IS IN VERSE TWO. OH, IT'S NOT WHAT WE CAN CORRECT THAT. OKAY. THESE ARE THE TERSE BOUNDARIES FOR ALSO NUMBER. THE TERSE IS A TAXING AUTHORITY. IT NEEDS TO HAVE ANNUAL MEETINGS. IT NEEDS TO MAKE ANNUAL REPORTS. TERSE. ONE IS WAY BEHIND ON THAT.
THERE'S ONLY MINUTES FROM ONE MEETING ON TOURS. ONE WHERE'S THE MINUTES? TERSE TWO. TERSE TWO IS NOT EVEN ON THE WEBSITE. THAT'S A FLAGRANT VIOLATION. TERSE TWO. HERE'S THE MAP. I WAS SHOWING IT A MOMENT AGO. YOU HAVE TO EXPLAIN WHY IT'S BLIGHTED WHEN YOU GIVE THE.
THIS IS A GIVEAWAY TO EVERYBODY'S SPECIAL FRIENDS. WE DON'T NEED TO PAY. WE'RE SITTING ON A GOLD MINE. DON'T YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND THAT? WE DON'T NEED TO BEG PEOPLE TO COME HERE AND BUILD. AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS. THIS IS A GIVEAWAY. YOU NEED TO FOCUS ON BRINGING MONEY IN THROUGH MEANS THAT ARE ALREADY OUT THERE, FOR INSTANCE. WHY DON'T WE ANNEX SOME OF THESE OTHER AREAS INTO THE CITY? THAT'S BETTER THAN GIVING AWAY MONEY TO DEVELOPERS.
THIS IS PETE DWYER'S LAND DOWN HERE ON TOURS TWO. THIS IS PETE DWYER'S LAND ON TOURS TWO HERE.
AND THIS IS BATH TIMMERMAN'S LAND. OVER HERE. BATH. TIMMERMAN IS ON THE PUBLIC IMPACT FEES COMMITTEE. OH, THAT'S NO PROBLEM. THAT'S A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. SO I HAVE FILED MUNICIPAL COURT COMPLAINT AND LISTED ALSO MR. JONES BECAUSE HE'S PART OF THIS. AND SPEAKING OF THE COMPLAINTS AND THE TOURS AND THE DAUPHIN TREE, IF YOU GUYS APPROVED THAT TREE, WHOEVER APPROVES IT, I'M GOING TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST YOU. AND THAT COULD BE UP TO $500.
FINE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR, FOR CORRECTION PURPOSES, THE TOURS IS A FINANCIAL TOOL THAT THE CITY CREATES SO THAT THE CITY CAN DO INVESTMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE LAND THAT THE CITY OWNS AND FOR THE OVERLAY AREA. SO IT'S NOT A GIVEAWAY TO ANYONE. IT'S ACTUALLY A SET ASIDE THAT WE DO FOR INCREASING PROPERTY VALUES, WHERE WE ACTUALLY HAVE THAT MONEY AND WE ACTUALLY USE THAT MONEY TO INVEST IN THINGS FOR, FOR THE CITY, SIDEWALKS, WATER OR WASTEWATER DRAINAGE, IMPROVEMENT, STREETS, THINGS THAT THE CITY NEEDS FOR, FOR THAT ENTIRE 2900 ACRES. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S CLEAR ON WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE TERRORIST PROJECT. AND THERE AREN'T ANY REQUIREMENTS, AS STATED IN THAT CONVERSATION, THAT WE'RE BEHIND ON OUR MISSING. MR. BEAL. YES, SIR. JOHN BEAL WITH WILBARGER
[00:20:04]
CREEK CONSERVATION ALLIANCE. I'M HERE TODAY TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF TIERS THREE. IS IT? I PRONOUNCE THAT RIGHT. BECAUSE IT IS PROBABLY THE BEST WAY TO PAY FOR INFRASTRUCTURE WITHIN THAT 2900 ACRES, 2900 ACRES. BUT I'M ALSO HERE TODAY TO ASK. YOU TO. ADD SOMETHING TO THAT DOCUMENT. THERE'S, IN MY OPINION, AN OMISSION. I WOULD CALL IT A GLARING OMISSION. THE NEXT WAREHOUSE DEVELOPER WOULDN'T FEEL THE SAME WAY. IT APPEARS TO BE FUNDING. THIS DOCUMENT APPEARS TO NOT INCLUDE FUNDING FOR NON TAX GENERATING INFRASTRUCTURE FOR QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS. WHEN I'M REFERRING TO HERE ARE GREENBELTS, TRAILS. WE HAVE COTTONWOOD CREEK CUTTING RIGHT DOWN THROUGH THE MIDDLE. WHICH IS THE MAJOR TRIBUTARY OF WILBARGER CREEK, CAUSING CONSIDERABLE FLOODING. BUT WE SHOULD TRY TO PREVENT FLOODING BY USING THAT RIPARIAN AREA AS A NATURAL BREAK. SO THAT'S THAT'S MY MY REQUEST IS WOULD YOU CONSIDER ADDING IN A PARAGRAPH THAT ALLOWS FOR THAT MONEY? YOU EMPHASIZE THE ROADS AND THE SEWERS AND EVERYTHING ELSE. BUT JUST AS IMPORTANT IN THE FUTURE, I'M VERY PLEASED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL FORMS THE BOARD AND THAT YOU MAINTAIN CONTROL OF WHAT GOES ON THERE.THE ABILITY TO THINK 25 OR 50 YEARS INTO THE FUTURE IS NOT A LUXURY THAT THE DEVELOPERS HAVE, BUT THAT IS THAT IS POSSIBLE AMONGST OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS. THANK YOU. YES, SIR. AS YOU HAD TALKED, I THINK SECTION FIVE COVERS WHAT YOU'RE REQUESTING. IF YOU IN THE AGENDA PACKET, IF YOU CHECK SECTION FIVE, IT TALKS ABOUT FLOOD CONTROL, LANDSCAPING AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT. I WILL READ IT AGAIN OKAY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. LET'S SEE. THAT IS ALL OF OUR PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS. OUR GUEST MR. JONES, DO YOU WANT TO COME UP. THANK YOU. MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS SCOTT JONES, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR. AND BEFORE YOU, WE'RE CONDUCTING THIS PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE CREATION OF TOURS NUMBER THREE, WHICH CONTAINS 2,941.6 ACRES OF LAND ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE CITY. THIS IS WHAT WE'RE CALLING THE COMMERCIAL TOURS. AND YOU HAVE THE DOCUMENTS IN FRONT OF YOU. WE HAVE HERE NOW OR LATER. YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS TO THE CREATOR OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR THE TOURS AND FUTURE ADMINISTRATOR OF THE TOURS, TRAVIS JAMES WITH TXP INCORPORATED. SO IF YOU HAVE ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TOURS, WE CAN DIRECT THOSE TO HIM OR I'M HERE TO ANSWER THOSE AS WELL. COUNCIL MEMBERS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT TERRORIST NUMBER THREE? I HAVE A QUESTION. JONES I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU'VE HEARD, IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENTS OTHER THAN WHAT WE HEARD TONIGHT. NO, MA'AM. OKAY. NO PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE HAVE.
CONTACTED ME OR COME TO THE MEETING THAT ARE LOCATED IN THAT TOUR ZONE. OTHER QUESTIONS? COUNCIL MEMBERS. MAYOR, COUNCIL. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE. KNOW HE WAS JUST COMING IF
[00:25:07]
WE NEEDED HIM. ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH, I WAS HERE AS THE BACKUP. AND LET ME JUST ADD TO THAT GENTLEMAN'S COMMENT. IF YOU LOOK AT THE PRELIMINARY PLAN, NUMBER ONE DOES ALLOW YOU TO PAY FOR PARKS AND OPEN SPACE AND LANDSCAPING IMPROVEMENTS AT TRAVIS JAMES WITH TXP. WE ALSO WILL NEED TO CREATE THE FINAL PROJECT AND FINANCE PLAN. SO STATE LAW REQUIRES YOU TO HAVE A PRELIMINARY PLAN. AND AS WE DISCUSSED LAST TIME, WE ARE GOING TO REFINE THOSE ELIGIBLE PROJECT COSTS. SO IF YOU AND THE TOURIST BOARD WOULD LIKE TO SEE THOSE TYPES OF IMPROVEMENTS IN THERE, WE CAN DEFINITELY ADD THEM AND WE CAN CLARIFY THAT SECTION. IF IT WASN'T ALREADY CLEAR THAT THOSE TYPES OF NON-TAX GENERATING PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS WOULD BE INCLUDED AT YOUR DISCRETION. YEAH. AND MISS HILL, YEAH. LET ME CLARIFY. ALSO, THERE WAS A GENTLEMAN CAME IN THE OFFICE LAST WEEK AND HE, I MET HIM AT THE FRONT DOOR AND HE, HE, I ASKED HIM WHAT HE WAS DOING AND HE SAID, I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO SOMEBODY WHO'S IN CHARGE OF THIS. AND HE HAD A PIECE OF PAPER AND IT HAD THE TOURIST MAP ON IT. AND I SAID, AND I ASKED HIM WHAT HE WAS THERE FOR, AND HE HE SAID, WELL, I OWN THE PROPERTY RIGHT HERE. AND I SAID IT WAS RIGHT ON THE BOUNDARY OF THE TOURS. AND HE SAID, Y'ALL ARE TRYING TO INCREASE MY TAXES. AND I SAID, NO, SIR, THIS, THIS TOURS. AND HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE TOURS. AND I SAID, NO, SIR, THIS DOESN'T DO ANYTHING TO INCREASE ANYBODY'S TAXES. SO I TALKED HIM THROUGH THE SITUATION. I HAD HIM BACK IN MY OFFICE AS A MATTER OF FACT, AND WE WE TALKED ABOUT IT FOR A FEW MINUTES. AND SO HE HAD A COUPLE OTHER ISSUES THAT HE WANTED TO TALK ABOUT ALSO OUTSIDE OF THE TOURS. BUT I CALMED HIM DOWN ABOUT THE TOURS THAT IT WASN'T GOING TO INCREASE TAXES FOR ANYBODY. SO YEAH, I DID HAVE THAT ONE. ONE CONCERN FROM A CITIZEN. YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD POINT TO REMIND EVERYBODY. TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT IS NOT A TAX INCREASE AT ANY TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE ACROSS THE STATE. YOU'RE JUST ALLOCATING A PORTION OF FUTURE TAX REVENUE TO THE ZONE. YES. SO IT IS NOT A TAX INCREASE. THEY PAY THE SAME TAXES LIKE ANY OTHER CITIZEN, WHETHER THEY'RE IN THE TOURS, NOT IN THE TOURS FOR THOSE PROPERTIES WE TALKED ABOUT LAST TIME THAT ARE IN THE ETJ, THEY DO NOT PAY TAX UNTIL THEY COME INTO THE CITY LIMITS. AND A STATE LAW CHANGES. AS YOU ALL KNOW, PEOPLE NOW HAVE TO COME IN FOR A VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO JUST GO TELL SOMEONE YOU'RE NOW IN THE CITY LIMITS. SO ANY OF THESE DEVELOPMENTS THAT WOULD END THE ETJ THAT WOULD PARTICIPATE IN THE TOURS, YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS LIKE YOU'VE DONE IN THE PAST, WHERE THEY WOULD COME IN AND ASK FOR A VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION. YOU WOULD HAVE THOSE PUBLIC HEARINGS AND YOU WOULD FOLLOW THAT STANDARD PROCESS THAT YOU WERE FOLLOWING. AS A REMINDER, TOURS, TOURS, BOARDS DO HAVE A PUBLIC PUBLIC MEETINGS. YOU DO APPOINT THOSE BOARD MEMBERS AS AN ORDINANCE OR RESOLUTION, AS YOU DO OTHER APPOINTEES TO BOARDS AS WELL. THEY SERVE FOR A MAXIMUM OF A TWO YEAR TERM. AND YOU ALSO HAVE TO APPOINT THE CHAIR EACH YEAR. AND IF YOU CHOOSE TO CHANGE SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, IN THAT FIRST YEAR BEFORE YOU, YOU YOU HAVE THE FINAL, YOU HAVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAN IN FRONT OF YOU. AND YOU WOULD PROBABLY NEXT MEETING, YOU WOULD PROBABLY VOTE TO APPROVE THAT PRELIMINARY PLAN. BUT IF IN THAT FIRST SAY, IN THAT FIRST SIX MONTHS OR FIRST YEAR, THE BOARD DECIDES TO CHANGE SOMETHING IN THAT PLAN, YOU CERTAINLY HAVE TIME TO DO THAT. OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS MAYOR, ANY CHANGES THAT THE TOURIST BOARD WANTS TO MAKE OBVIOUSLY HAS TO COME BACK TO THIS BODY. SO YOU ALL YOU ALL THAT YOU HAVE TO YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PRELIMINARY PLAN AS PART OF THE ORDINANCE. AND OBVIOUSLY LEGAL CAN ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS BETTER THAN I CAN. WE WILL COME BACK IN THE COMING WEEKS AND CREATE THAT FINAL PROJECT AND FINANCE PLAN. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO AMEND THAT IN THE FUTURE, BUT IT HAS TO GO THROUGH A PUBLIC PROCESS WHERE YOU HAVE TO SORT OF PUBLICLY APPROVE AND MAKE THOSE CHANGES. SO IT'S NOT SET IN STONE, BUT ANY CHANGES HAVE TO FOLLOW A PROCESS. YEAH.HAVE ANOTHER ONE OF THESE. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IF CITY STAFF IF WE CAN. WE HAD A I DON'T REMEMBER IF IT WAS A WORKSHOP OR IF IT WAS A PRESENTATION. BUT WE WE DID HAVE KIND OF WE BROUGHT THAT. HOW HEY THIS IS WHAT A TOURIST IS. CAN WE THROW THAT PRESENTATION UP ON THE WEBSITE SO THAT, SO THAT PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT HE BROUGHT IT LAST MEETING. YEAH. SO YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY PUT THAT PRESENTATION THAT I GAVE LAST TIME UP ON YOUR WEBSITE. YOU CAN ALSO DO A LINK TO THE CONTROLLERS AND FAQ PAGE AS WELL. SO I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU PUT THAT PRESENTATION AS WELL AS A LINK TO THIS FAQ. AND PEOPLE CAN GO FIND, YOU KNOW, ANSWERS TO SPECIFIC QUESTIONS THEY MAY HAVE. MAYOR. YEAH.
THAT WAY WE DON'T HAVE ANY MISINFORMATION. APPRECIATE IT. GO AHEAD, COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE.

WE'RE COUNCIL. WE'RE RETURNING TO ITEM NUMBER FOUR, CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION FOR VARIANCE REQUESTED UNDER THE CODE OF ORDINANCES. CHAPTER EIGHT, ARTICLE 8.03 SEX OFFENDER RESIDENCY. I THINK COUNCIL MEMBERS LAST MEETING WE HAD ON THIS ITEM, WE HAD OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT WERE IN FAVOR AND SUPPORT OF THIS, AND RELATIVES. AND TONIGHT WE HAVE MISS STEPHANIE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO US TONIGHT. COUNCIL MEMBER HOLD ON ONE SECOND. LET ME SPEAK. THANK YOU. COULD YOU HEAR ME? THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SPEAK. I'M HERE TONIGHT ASKING FOR RECONSIDERATION, FOR THE DENIAL THAT PREVENTS ME FROM LIVING IN MY OWN HOME. AT 14004 MARK CHRISTOPHER WAY WITH MY HUSBAND AND MY ELDERLY MOTHER WHO ARE HERE. I UNDERSTAND WHY ORDINANCE 752 EXISTS, AND I DO NOT TAKE IT LIGHTLY, BUT I ASK YOU TO LOOK AT ME, THE PERSON THAT I'VE BECOME AFTER NEARLY THREE DECADES OF CHANGE, ACCOUNTABILITY AND STUDY, LAW ABIDING LIVING. WHEN I MADE THE[00:35:06]
MISTAKE THAT PUT ME IN THIS POSITION, I WAS VERY YOUNG. IT WAS A TERRIBLE DECISION, ONE THAT I'VE TAKEN FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR. BUT MY YOUNG MIND DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE WEIGHT OF IT AT THE TIME. IT WASN'T A LIFESTYLE OR SOMETHING THAT DEFINED WHO I AM OR WHO I WOULD BECOME. IT WAS A ONE TIME LAPSE IN JUDGMENT, AND I'VE SPENT EVERY YEAR SINCE MAKING SURE NOTHING LIKE THAT EVER HAPPENS AGAIN. SINCE MY RELEASE IN 2010, I'VE REBUILT MY LIFE PIECE BY PIECE. I HAVE OBTAINED AND KEPT STEADY EMPLOYMENT, PAID MY TAXES, AND STAYED OUT OF TROUBLE. I FOLLOWED EVERY RULE EVER ASKED OF ME AND PROVEN YEAR AFTER YEAR THAT I AM A RESPONSIBLE AND PRODUCTIVE MEMBER OF SOCIETY. RECENTLY, MY HUSBAND, MY ELDERLY MOTHER AND I INVESTED NEARLY $25,000 OF OUR SAVINGS INTO A HOME ON MARK CHRISTOPHER WAY, BELIEVING IT WOULD BE OUR PERMANENT HOME, A PLACE OF PEACE AND STABILITY.WE WERE NEVER TOLD ABOUT THE 2000 FOOT RESTRICTION UNDER ORDINANCE 752 THAT NOW PREVENTS ME FROM LIVING IN MY OWN HOME. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE 2000 FOOT RESTRICTION IS CALCULATED LIKELY IN A STRAIGHT LINE. HOWEVER, WHEN TRAVELING ACTUAL ROADS THE WAY ANYONE WOULD NORMALLY TRAVEL, THE PARK IS MORE THAN 2000FT FROM MY HOUSE. I AM NOT A PREDATOR, NOR AM I CLASSIFIED AS A PREDATOR. AND IN EVERY OTHER PLACE THAT I'VE LIVED IN TEXAS, I'VE NEVER BEEN UNDER A 2000 FOOT RESTRICTION. SO IT NEVER DAWNED ON ME THAT IT MIGHT BE AN ISSUE HERE. I DID MY RESEARCH, AS I ALWAYS DO, AND UPON RESEARCHING THIS AREA, I FOUND THAT THERE ARE 68 REGISTERED INDIVIDUALS ALREADY LIVING NEARBY. AND BECAUSE I'M NOT CLASSIFIED AS A PREDATOR, I BELIEVE THERE WOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE WITH ME LIVING HERE OTHERWISE. RESPECTFULLY, I NEVER WOULD HAVE BOUGHT A HOUSE IN MANOR. THE EMOTIONAL TOLL THAT THIS HAS MADE ON MY FAMILY IS ASTRONOMICAL. BECAUSE OF THIS RESTRICTION, I'VE HAD TO MOVE IN WITH MY SISTER, MY HUSBAND AND MY MOTHER ARE IN THE HOME THAT WE BOUGHT TOGETHER, AND I'M NOT ALLOWED TO LIVE THERE. WE'VE BEEN FORCED TO PART NOT BECAUSE OF ANYTHING THAT I'VE DONE NOW, BUT BECAUSE OF SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED NEARLY 30 YEARS AGO. I'M NOT ASKING FOR PITY. I'M ONLY ASKING FOR FAIRNESS, FOR COMPASSION, AND FOR THE CHANCE TO LIVE QUIETLY AND RESPONSIBLY IN MY OWN HOME. I ALREADY CHECK IN QUARTERLY AND I WILL FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. I'M WILLING TO DO MORE CHECK INS OR MORE OFTEN, EVEN DAILY. IF THAT'S WHAT'S REQUIRED. I'LL COMPLY WITH ANY ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS THE COUNCIL BELIEVES ARE NECESSARY. IF IT MEANS THAT I'M ALLOWED TO LIVE WITH MY FAMILY IN MY HOME, PLEASE LET ME GO HOME AND BE WITH MY FAMILY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, YOUR SERVICE AND YOUR COMPASSION IN HEARING MY APPEAL. THANK YOU MA'AM. CHIEF.
I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE, BUT I STAND WITH MY DECISION BASED ON THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF OUR COMMUNITY AND THE STATISTICAL DATA WE HAVE ON RE-OFFENDERS OF PEOPLE WHO COMMIT THE TYPES OF CRIMES THAT WERE COMMITTED. FOR THE RECORD, CHIEF. AS SHE STATED, WE HAVE 68 PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY. WERE THERE WERE THERE SOME THAT WERE GRANDFATHERED IN PRIOR TO THIS ORDINANCE BEING ENACTED? SO THE MAJORITY OF THE REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS THAT LIVE WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN AS VICTIMS. THEY HAVE ADULT VICTIMS. WHEN SOMEBODY TRIES TO MOVE INTO THE CITY, WHETHER IT'S A RENTAL PROPERTY OR PURCHASING A HOME, WHEREVER THEY'RE MOVING FROM, THEY'RE GIVEN THE ADVICE TO COME CHECK IN, CHECK THE LOCAL ORDINANCES, BECAUSE THESE ORDINANCES EXIST OTHER PLACES, NOT JUST HERE IN MANER. SO YES, THERE ARE SEX OFFENDERS THAT EXIST. THE MAJORITY OF THEM HAVE ADULT VICTIMS, AND THE ONES THAT DO EXIST IN THE CITY THAT HAVE CHILD VICTIMS WERE GRANDFATHERED IN PRIOR. THEY LIVED IN THE CITY PRIOR TO THE ORDINANCE PASSING. THANK YOU.
[00:40:08]
OTHER QUESTION QUESTIONS? COUNCIL MEMBERS. WHETHER IT BE FOR. POLICE OR FOR MISS LILY.AND I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO. I'M SORRY THERE ARE ONLY 17 IN THE CITY LIMITS. THE 68 THAT WERE REFERENCED WERE IN THE ZIP CODE. CAN YOU PROVIDE SOME CONTEXT ON THE LANGUAGE IN REGARDS TO BEING BEING A PREDATOR VERSUS NOT BEING A PREDATOR? I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE DETERMINATION THROUGH TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY, WHO PUBLISHES THE WEBSITE ON WHAT CLASSIFIES AS A PREDATOR OR NON PREDATOR. OUR ORDINANCE DOES NOT. IT SIMPLY JUST STATES THAT IF THE VICTIM OF THE OFFENDER WAS A CHILD OR AN ADULT, THAT'S HOW IT'S CLASSIFIED. OKAY. DO YOU KNOW LEGAL? ARE YOU ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT CONTEXT? OKAY. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. WHY LEGAL IS LOOKING IT UP.
MISS LILY? YES. CAN YOU COME UP REAL QUICK? I'M SORRY. JUST REAL FAST. WHAT LEVEL OF RISK DO YOU KNOW? I'M A LOW LEVEL. I CAME FROM FLORIDA ORIGINALLY TO TEXAS. I BELIEVE IN ON THE WEBSITE. I'M UNDETERMINED. WHAT WAS IT DATING? DID THEY GIVE YOU A LEVEL IN ROUND ROCK OR AUSTIN? THEY. THEY DIDN'T WANT TO TRANSFER TO TEXAS. OKAY. SO IT JUST SAYS UNDETERMINED I BELIEVE ON MY PAGE. OKAY. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. MAYOR.
COUNCIL MEMBERS, WITH REGARD TO. PREDATOR OR NON PREDATOR, IT'S ACTUALLY THE HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE ALSO PROVIDES A DEFINITION. AND MAINLY IT'S A IF IT'S A SEXUALLY VIOLENT I CAN PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION. BUT THAT IS. ONE OF THE CLASSIFICATIONS AS PART OF BEING PREDATOR VERSUS NON PREDATOR. YEAH. I'M LOOKING AT TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF SAFETY COUNCIL. AND I WAS ASKING ABOUT THE LEVELS BECAUSE FOR ANY INDIVIDUALS LISTED AS A PREDATOR VERSUS NON PREDATOR THEY HAVE RISK LEVELS. NON PREDATORS. NON PREDATOR DESIGNATION HAS APPEARS TO HAVE THREE DESIGNATIONS FOR RISK LEVEL LOW MODERATE OR HIGH. AND THAT'S WHY I WAS INQUIRING ABOUT WHICH ONE OF THE RISK LEVELS WERE MAYOR COUNCIL. I HAVE THE PAGE HERE FROM THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY. AND THE RISK LEVEL IS NOT REPORTED. AND THAT IS LIKELY BECAUSE IT'S FROM A DIFFERENT STATE. BUT ONE THING THAT WE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION IS HOW FREQUENTLY THE INDIVIDUAL IS HAVING TO REGISTER WITH OUR SEX OFFENDER COMPLIANCE OFFICER, AND IN THIS CASE, SHE IS REQUIRED BY LAW TO REGISTER QUARTERLY, WHICH IS MORE FREQUENTLY THAN ANNUALLY OR BUT LESS LESS FREQUENTLY THAN MONTHLY.
QUESTIONS. OKAY, COUNCIL MEMBERS, I'LL ENTERTAIN. THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS OR
[00:45:12]
COMMENTS. I ENTERTAIN A MOTION.YOU SOME WAIT TIME THERE. AGAIN, WE'RE TAKING QUESTIONS OR MOTION.
MAYOR COUNCIL. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE DENY THE VARIANCE REQUEST UNDER OUR CODE OF ORDINANCES. CHAPTER EIGHT, ARTICLE 8.03 SEX OFFENDER RESIDENCY FOR MISS STEPHANIE LILY. WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR FOR BY COUNCILWOMAN. IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN? WHERE? ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION BEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES 4 TO 1. MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER FIVE.
[5. Consideration, discussion, and possible action to remove a Heritage Tree in the Manor Downs Industrial project, being a 29” Pecan tree identified as #5019 in the tree survey for said project, and being located at 8916 Hill Lane, Manor, TX.]
CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO REMOVE A HERITAGE TREE IN AMANDA DOWNS INDUSTRIAL PROJECT. BEING A 29 INCH, A 29 FOOT TREE IDENTIFIED AS NUMBER 5019 AND THE TREE SURVEY FOR SAID PROJECT AND BEING LOCATED AT 80 916 HILL LANE, MAYNARD, TEXAS. YES, SIR.PARDON ME. MAYOR COUNCIL. MY NAME IS MICHAEL BURRELL, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY OF MANOR. THIS ITEM IS BEING BROUGHT BEFORE YOU AS AN APPEAL TO A DECISION MADE BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. THE TREE IN QUESTION SITS IN WHAT IS CURRENTLY INTENDED TO BE A DETENTION POND FOR THE OVERALL PROJECT. OUR CODE DOES ALLOW, IN CERTAIN INSTANCES, FOR HERITAGE TREES TO BE REMOVED. IN ONE OF THOSE IS WHEN YOU'RE IN A DRAINAGE INFRASTRUCTURE RIGHT OF WAY THINGS OF THAT NATURE, AND THERE'S PHYSICAL CONSTRAINTS THAT PREVENT YOU FROM MAINTAINING OR RELOCATING THE TREE. IN THIS INSTANCE, THE WATER ON SITE DOES FLOW TO WHERE THIS DETENTION POND IS INTENDED TO BE CONSTRUCTED. SO THE REQUEST IS TO REMOVE THE TREE TO ALLOW THEM TO CONTINUE WITH THE PLAN AS DESIGNED. WE DO HAVE THE APPLICANT, AN ENGINEER ENGINEER, HERE TO ANSWER MORE TECHNICAL QUESTIONS.
OKAY, COUNCIL MEMBERS, YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR MISTER BURRELL OR FOR THE ENGINEER? FOR THE ENGINEER? WHO? WHO IS THE ENGINEER? COME ON UP. IN. NOT NECESSARILY THE PARTICULAR AREA OF THE HERITAGE TREE, BUT ON THE PROPERTY ITSELF IS THERE? OKAY. FROM FROM MY KNOWLEDGE, THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF TREES AND SHRUBBERY AND ALL OF THAT STUFF ADDED. IS THERE ANY WAY TO MAKE SOME KIND OF. DEDICATED AREA FOR LIKE PRESERVATION OF THE NATURAL HABITAT IN THAT AREA? I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN BE ENTERTAINED. HAVE TO, I GUESS, CONSULT WITH THE DEVELOPER ON ON THAT. BUT I THINK, OKAY. AND I'M MARISSA KAISER, THE
[00:50:01]
ENGINEER OF RECORD FOR CONSULTING FOR THIS PROJECT. THANK YOU. OKAY. YES, SIR. COME ON. HEY. GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS, I'M TIM CRAFTON WITH DOLPHIN DEVELOPER, LOOKING FOR YOUR APPROVAL ON THIS ITEM TONIGHT. SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, WE'RE ESSENTIALLY WE'RE PROVIDING THREE TIMES THE CALIPER INCHES THAT THAT CURRENT TREE IS TO MITIGATE FOR THAT TREE. AND RIGHT NOW OUT OF THE 244 TREES THAT ARE ON THAT SITE, ONLY 25 OF THEM ARE ON MAINERS PREFERRED TREE PLANTING LIST. WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK NOT ONLY JUST IN THE THREE TIMES THE CALIPER INCHES FOR THIS TREE, BUT WE'RE GOING BACK WITH 1444 NEW TREES THAT ARE. THAT EQUATES TO ALMOST THREE TIMES THE AMOUNT OF TOTAL CALIPER INCHES THAT ARE OUT THERE RIGHT NOW. AND INSTEAD OF 25 TREES, BECAUSE A LOT OF THE TREES THAT ARE OUT THERE ARE, THE REASON THEY'RE NOT ON MAINERS PREFERRED PLANTING LIST IS BECAUSE THEY'RE INVASIVE SPECIES OR OR, YOU KNOW, KIND OF JUNK TREES, THAT KIND OF THING. ALL 1444 OF THE TREES THAT WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK AND PLANT ARE GOING TO BE ON MAINERS PREFERRED PLANTING LIST. AND SO ESSENTIALLY EVERYTHING WE PLANT AND THE ENTIRE LANDSCAPE OUT THERE IS GOING TO BE EXACTLY WHAT YOU JUST SAID, IF THAT MAKES SENSE. SO THAT'S THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION. THANK YOU. WE JUST NEEDED THAT FOR THE RECORD. SURE. OTHER QUESTIONS COMMENTS, COUNCILMEMBERS.OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, COUNCIL MEMBERS. IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR MOTION.
DO WE NEED MORE DISCUSSION? I'M HAPPY TO PROVIDE SOME MORE CONTEXT IF CONTEXT IS NEEDED. COUNCIL MEMBERS. THIS IS A PROJECT THAT WE WE WORKED WITH THE COMPANY TO BRING AND TO ATTRACT INTO THE CITY LIMITS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE. HOLDING OUR END. IN THERE. AND SO WE'RE GOOD. WE'RE GOOD. JONES. YEAH, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE HOLDING OUR END TO TO AND OUR COMMITMENT TO DAFFIN FOR ONE, LISTENING AND THEN CHOOSING TO BRING THIS THING INTO THE CITY. AND, YOU KNOW, AND, AND TO TO WORK WITH US FOR, FOR THAT AND FOR THE ADDITIONAL TREES THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE PLANTING AND FROM THAT. AND SO I DON'T THINK THIS WAS ANYTHING THAT WE FORESAW IN THAT PROCESS.
HOWEVER, IT SHOULD NOT NEGATE THE INTENT BEHIND MY PERSONAL OPINION, THE INTENT BEHIND WHAT WE WERE, INITIAL GOALS WITH THE COMPANY AND WHAT WE SAT DOWN TO DO. I KNOW IT'S HARD, I KNOW, I KNOW, BUT YOU KNOW. WITHOUT THAT, THERE'S A. IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ASK FOR PEOPLE TO LEAVE. IF I ACCIDENTALLY LAUGH, IS THAT A PROBLEM? YOU CAN LEAVE. THANK YOU. YOU CAN LEAVE. I LIKE HIM, HE CAN LEAVE. LET'S DO THAT.
HE'S INTERRUPTING ME. OH, NO. WHY DON'T WE SEND HIM TO THE WAREHOUSE? THE COMMERCIAL? SIR, YOU'RE INTERRUPTING THE MEETING. YOU NEED TO STEP OUT. PLEASE. I AM WITHOUT TALKING. IF IT'S HELPFUL, I CAN SPEAK TO FEASIBILITY A LITTLE BIT BETTER, A LITTLE BIT MORE. DOES THAT HELP? I WANT TO MAKE SURE. GO AHEAD. PLEASE DO SO. OUT OF 244 TREES AND ONE AND 147 ACRES, IF
[00:55:06]
WE COULD DRAW THAT TO SCALE, IT WOULD BE SMALLER THAN THE DOT OF THAT LASER. YOU WOULDN'T EVEN BE ABLE TO SEE THIS ON THIS, ON THIS DRAWING. THAT'S HOW BIG ALL OF THAT IS. AND ESSENTIALLY BECAUSE IT DOESN'T REQUIRE A CIVIL ENGINEER. IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE. IT'S 25FT HIGHER UP HERE THAN IT IS DOWN HERE. AND WE ALL KNOW THAT WATER FLOWS DOWNHILL. THERE'S ONLY ONE PLACE FOR THAT WATER TO GO. IT'S RIGHT HERE. AND EVEN THOUGH WHERE THAT RED DOT IS LOOKS LIKE A SMALL DISTANCE, IT'S, I DON'T KNOW, MORE THAN HALF A FOOTBALL FIELD OVER THERE. AND SO WE ARE CONSTRAINED HEAVILY BY AN ATMOS HIGH PRESSURE GAS LINE RIGHT HERE. WE CANNOT MOVE IT OVER THAT WAY. OR WE WOULD WE WOULD MUCH PREFER IT TO BE OVER THERE.BUT WE CAN'T TOUCH THAT. SO WE'RE TOTALLY CONSTRAINED THERE. THIS ROAD ALSO CONSTRAINS US.
AND THIS IS GOING TO BE A CRITICAL NORTH SOUTH ARTERY THAT'S GOING TO CONNECT US UP INTO HOWARD LANE AND CONNECT TO 130. IT'S GOING TO BE A HUGE PUBLIC BENEFIT. I THINK IT'S GOING TO ALLEVIATE A LOT OF TRAFFIC ISSUES SHOULD BE A GREAT THING, NOT JUST FOR US, BUT CERTAINLY FOR MAINER AS WELL. AND THEN ON THIS SIDE, WE'RE CONSTRAINED BY WATER LINES, SEWER LINES, OTHER ROADS. SO IT WE JUST REALLY ONLY REASON WE'RE ASKING. THERE'S ONE OUT OF 244 TREES ON A, ON A 147 ACRES. THE ONLY REASON WE'RE ASKING IS BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANY. I DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE ELSE TO PUT IT. AND IF WE WERE TO CHANGE THIS SITE PLAN, WE WOULD LOSE HALF OR PROBABLY ALL OF THIS BUILDING. AND IF WE LOSE THAT BUILDING, WE LOSE THE SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT WE'VE COMMITTED AND AGREED WITH THE CITY OF MAINER TO BUILD. AND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE UNABLE TO HONOR OUR 380 AGREEMENT OR OUR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY. AND SO IT FEELS LIKE I THINK IT MAY ALSO HELP COUNCIL TO REALIZE THAT WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE, WE ARE SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVING THE CURRENT ENVIRONMENTAL STATE OF WHAT IS OUT THERE RIGHT NOW. WHAT IS OUT THERE RIGHT NOW IS WET, SORT OF SIX INCH TYPE OF BOG MARSHLAND WITH A LOT OF INVASIVE PLANT SPECIES IN IT. WHAT THOSE INVASIVE PLANT SPECIES DO IS THEY CLOG UP THE WATERWAYS AND THEY CREATE WATER ISSUES. WE'RE GOING TO GO AND WE'RE GOING TO CLEAN ALL OF THAT UP. AND WE'RE LANDSCAPING ON THE ORDER OF THREE TIMES THE THE AMOUNT OF ACREAGE THAT WE'RE REQUIRED TO BY CODE ON THIS SITE. SO WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY FIX ALL THIS, WILL FIX ALL THE DRAINAGE. AND IT IS A TRADE OFF. WE DO HAVE TO LOSE ONE NICE TREE. I SAY THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HEALTH OF THAT TREE IS. TYPICALLY, WE WOULD HAVE AN ARBORIST REPORT AND FIGURE OUT THE HEALTH OF ALL THE TREES, BUT HONESTLY DIDN'T THINK WE WOULD NEED TO GO THROUGH THAT FOR THIS PROCESS. WEREN'T REQUIRED TO FOR THE FOR THE PLAN REVIEW PROCESS. BUT IT IS LIKELY THAT MOST OF THE TREES OUT THERE, BECAUSE THEY'RE, THEY'RE THERE'S NOT VERY MANY OF THEM PER ACRE. THEY'RE EXPOSED MORE TO WIND AND SUN AND RAIN, UNLIKE IF YOU HAD A FOREST OF TREES, THEY'RE MORE THEY'RE BETTER PROTECTED. SO THE HEALTH OF ALL OF THE 244 TREES THAT ARE OUT THERE RIGHT NOW, WE ARE SAVING, I THINK, 15 OR 20% OF THEM. SO WE'RE NOT TAKING DOWN EVERY TREE. LIKE I SAID, WE'RE GOING BACK WITH THREE TIMES THE CALIPER INCHES AND 1444 TO THE 244 THAT ARE OUT THERE, BUT JUST ENVIRONMENTALLY OVERALL IT IS A MASSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT, A MASSIVE DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT. AND I WISH, I WISH PAULINE WAS HERE TO COMMENT ON THAT. I THINK MICHAEL CAN BACK ME UP ON THAT, AND OUR ENGINEERS CAN CERTAINLY SPEAK TO THAT. BUT YOU DON'T REALLY NEED AN ENGINEER TO TO GET IT. IT'S IT'S A MESS OUT THERE. AND WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE IT WAY BETTER THAN WE FOUND IT. WE JUST HAVE TO WE JUST DON'T HAVE ANOTHER PLACE TO PUT THIS THIS DETENTION POND WHERE THAT TREE IS. SO. OTHER QUESTIONS. COUNCIL MEMBERS. I JUST WANT TO MAKE THE COMMENT BECAUSE I LOVE TREES. AND SO I GUESS THE THE FACT THAT YOU ARE TAKING THE CARE AND THE CONSIDERATION TO TRIPLE THE AMOUNT THAT YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO, I APPRECIATE THAT. I'M POSITIVE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE IT REALLY PRETTY FOR ALL THE TREES OUT THERE. I THINK BEAUTIFICATION, YOU'VE SEEN IT. WE GOT LIKE THE WHOLE TREE CITY LIKE PLAQUE FROM FOR THAT. BUT JUST ADDING TO THAT BEAUTIFICATION BY PUTTING THE ADDITIONAL CARE TO HAVE TREES OUT THERE IS NICE. ANYTHING YOU PLAN OUT THERE, IT'S PROBABLY BETTER THAN WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW. BUT I DID WANT TO KNOW IF YOU BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO READ IT, BUT WELL, SOME OF THEM BE MORE MATURE TREES WHEN YOU PLANT THEM. OR WILL THEY ALL JUST KIND OF BE MORE INFANT STYLE? SO IT JUST KIND OF WAIT FOR IT TO GROW.
[01:00:06]
THEY'LL THEY'LL NOT BE A 30 INCH, YOU KNOW, MATURE TREE. NONE OF THOSE ARE. THEY'RE GOING TO BE I THINK THREE AND FOUR INCH CALIPER TREES AT CHEST HEIGHT IS WHERE THAT MEASUREMENT IS TAKEN. SO YEAH. AND WE WOULD EVEN WE WOULD EVEN TRANSPLANT THIS TREE. WE'D BE HAPPY TO DO THAT. THE PROBLEM IS, IS TYPICALLY WHEN YOU DO THAT WITH TREES THAT ARE THIS SIZE, THEY ALMOST NEVER SURVIVE. SO I WOULD OFFER THAT TO COUNCIL IF COUNCIL IS INTERESTED IN THAT. BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE A HIGH, HIGH SUCCESS RATE. SO. OTHER QUESTIONS COMMENTS. ARE YOU KEEPING ANY OF THE PECAN TREES? ARE THEY ALL I THINK SO I, I DON'T I CAN'T REMEMBER OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. WE'RE HAPPY INCIDENTALLY OF THE WE'RE PLANTING FIVE DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF THE 1444. ALL FIVE ARE ON MAINERS PREFERRED PLANTINGS LIST. INCIDENTALLY, NONE OF THEM ARE PECAN TREES. WE CAN MAKE AS MANY OF THOSE PECAN TREES AS COUNCIL WOULD LIKE. YOU KNOW, IT'S DOESN'T MATTER. I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S IF IT'S GOOD ENVIRONMENTALLY TO HAVE TONS AND TONS OF PECAN TREES, BUT, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER MAKES SENSE AND MAKES ENVIRONMENTAL SENSE. WE'RE WE'RE HAPPY TO PICK, YOU KNOW, ADD A SIXTH VARIETY OF TREE OR, OR WHATEVER. SO NO, YOU'RE FINE. I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY BEFORE Y'ALL TEAR IT DOWN, JUST LET US KNOW SO WE CAN MAKE PECAN PIE FOR THE NEXT SO WE CAN AT LEAST PICK THEM. BUT NO THANK YOU. QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR EMOTION?

OUT OF THE 84.3 ACRE TRACT OF LAND SITUATED IN AC CALDWELL. SURVEY ABSTRACT 154 IN TRAVIS COUNTY. YES, SIR.MAYOR. CITY COUNCIL SCOTT JONES, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR. THIS IS THE FIFTH AMENDMENT THAT WE'RE ASKING YOU TO APPROVE FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE LAND FOR THE NEW CITY HALL AND LIBRARY. AND I'M NOT GOING TO PROMISE THAT THERE WON'T BE A SIXTH AMENDMENT, BUT WE'RE WE'RE ASKING FOR A 60 DAY EXTENSION OF THE PREVIOUS FOURTH AMENDMENT. AND WHILE WE DO THE PLANNING EXERCISE AND AND GET THE FINAL PLANS FOR AND KNOW EXACTLY WHAT SIZE TRACK PLAN WE NEED TO BUY EXACTLY. SO WITH WITH YOUR APPROVAL, THEN WE WILL HAVE WE HAVE A FULLY EXECUTED FIFTH AMENDMENT FROM THE DEVELOPER, AND ALL WE NEED IS FOR MAYOR HARVEY TO SIGN THE FIFTH AMENDMENT. MY QUESTION IS, SHOULD WE SO WE DON'T HAVE TO COME BACK FOR SIX? SHOULD WE EXTEND THE TIMELINE ON ON THIS AMENDMENT OR EXTENSION? AND WITH A CLAUSE, YOU KNOW, TO COME BACK SOONER? WE WE ASKED FOR LONGER EXTENSION. AND I THINK AFTER WE GET THROUGH THE 1216. MEETING THAT WE HAVE PROBABLY WILL COME BACK THE NEXT TIME. AND IF IT'S GOING TO TAKE LONGER, MAYBE WE'LL ASK FOR A LITTLE LONGER TIME FRAME BECAUSE WE HAD SIX MONTHS LAST TIME. AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK THE DEVELOPER WAS GETTING A LITTLE BIT ANTSY. WE WANT TO KEEP THE PRICE WHERE IT IS RIGHT NOW. SO WE AGREED WITH THE DEVELOPER THAT WE JUST DO 60 DAYS NOW AND THEN I THINK WE'LL TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT IT. AND IF WE NEED 90 OR 120 THE NEXT EXTENSION, THEN WE'LL KNOW A LITTLE CLEARER WHAT THE TIME FRAME LOOKS LIKE AFTER THIS.
YEAH. BECAUSE I THINK WE OKAY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HIT SOME OF THOSE KEY DAY POINTS. YEAH. IF WE SINCE WE'RE DOING THE 16 THAT WE HIT THAT IN JANUARY ANNOUNCEMENT AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS OKAY. EXACTLY. QUESTIONS COMMENTS COUNCIL MEMBERS. SO MY QUESTION IS WHAT HOW LONG ARE THESE WHAT THIS WAS FOR. THIS ONE'S STILL FEBRUARY THE 6TH. SO IT'S ABOUT A LITTLE OVER 60 DAYS I THINK. AND THEN WE'VE GOT ANOTHER 30 DAYS LONGER TO NEGOTIATE THE CONTRACT AFTER THAT. SO WE'VE ACTUALLY GOT 90 DAYS TO GET A CONTRACT DONE. BUT I THINK IT MAY TAKE DEPENDING ON HOW LONG IT TAKES TO COMPLETE THE PLANS, IT MAY TAKE AN ADDITIONAL EXTENSION LONGER THAN THAN THIS ONE. BUT I'M NOT GOING TO I'M NOT GOING TO SAY WE CAN'T DO IT IN THIS 60 DAY PERIOD, BUT IT MAY TAKE A LITTLE LONGER THAN THAT. SO THIS IS THE THE DELAY IS ON IS US NEGOTIATING THE DEAL. IT'S OURS. YES. IT'S NOT THE DEVELOPER'S, BUT IT JUST TAKES SOME TIME TO GET THIS STUFF DONE. AND DO IT RIGHT. SO. QUESTIONS COUNCIL MEMBERS. IF
[01:10:01]
NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. ALL THIS AMENDMENT DOES REALLY IS LOCK THE PRICE IN PLACE FOR ANOTHER 60 DAYS. AND WE WANT TO KEEP THEM LOCKED IN PLACE. QUESTIONS ON MOTION.

SO WE WE DON'T DO THEM BY NAME. WE DO THEM BY PLACE NUMBERS. YES MA'AM. ANY COUNCIL MEMBERS INTERESTED IN CHANGE. ALL RIGHT. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ABOUT THE TERRORIST PROJECT. COUNCIL MEMBERS. THERE WAS A COMMENT THAT WAS MADE EARLIER ALSO ABOUT THE CONTRIBUTION BEING 50%. IS THERE ANY REASON THAT WE WOULD LOWER IT OR RAISE IT THAT WOULD BENEFIT THE CITY? THE CONTRIBUTION THAT'S CONTEMPLATED RIGHT NOW IS 50%, BECAUSE THE REASONS THAT WE'RE WE'RE LOOKING TOWARD THOSE FUNDS TO HELP FUND SOME OF THE CITY. IT'S IN THAT EMAIL THAT I SENT YOU ALSO, BUT TO HELP FUND SOME OF THE CITY PROJECTS AND SUCH THAT ARE ONGOING RIGHT NOW.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, YOU CAN YOU CAN FUND A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT THINGS. THEY'RE THEY'RE IN THE PLAN ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, BESIDES INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS, YOU CAN FUND CITY FACILITIES FOR ENTRANCE. SO WE HAVE SOME OF THOSE PROJECTS IN MIND IN THAT PLAN. SO 50% WILL DO GO A LONG WAY TOWARD HELPING FUND SOME OF THOSE. THAT'S WHY WE PUT THE 50% IN THERE. IT'S THE SAME AS IN DOWNTOWN TOURS NUMBER TWO. IT'S ALSO 50%. AND AND THAT WAY
[01:15:08]
IT DOESN'T CUT THAT MUCH OUT BECAUSE IT'S ON THE INCREASE IN TAXES. IT DOESN'T CUT THAT MUCH OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND BECAUSE IT'S SPLITTING WHAT THE INCREASE IS.

OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU. COUNCIL. MOVING ON. NUMBER TEN CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING AMENDMENT NUMBER TWO. FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICES FOR THE MANOR COMMERCIAL PARK WASTE WATER COLLECTION SYSTEM AND CARRIAGES. THIS STATION NUMBER FIVE IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT. STATEMENT OF WORK NUMBER SEVEN. YES, SIR. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR.COUNCIL MATT WOODARD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, CAME TO YOU A MEETING OR SO AGO ABOUT CLOSING OUT OUR PHASE ONE. AND I'M NOW HERE TO TALK ABOUT PHASE TWO. SO IF THERE'S A WAY WE COULD SHOW THE MAPS, IF YOU DON'T MIND. OKAY, SO THIS FIGURE ONE, IT SHOWS WHAT THAT WAS, WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY PLANNED. BEFORE WE KNOW LONESTAR AND SOME OTHER DEVELOPMENTS WERE COMING FROM THE EAST, WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY PLANNED WAS THE 12 INCH GOING UP AND THEN THE EIGHT INCH LINES. WE WEREN'T GETTING A WHOLE LOT OF TRACTION ON THE BELT AREA, A LOT OF PEOPLE WANTING TO ANNEX. SO WE SWITCHED THAT GAME PLAN. CAN YOU PLEASE SHOW THE SECOND MAP? YOU'LL SEE WHERE THE 12 INCH LINE GOES UP FURTHER TO THE EAST AND UP. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT. WHEN WE WERE DOING THAT, WE'RE CLOSING OUT THE PHASE ONE. AND THAT WENT UP THROUGH LONE STAR. WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE WE GOT THAT DONE AND WE WERE ALSO ABLE TO GET THE CARRIAGE HILLS LIFT STATION WITH THE WET. WELL, WE WERE ABLE TO DO SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS FOR THAT LIFT STATION. BUT NOW WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT PHASE TWO, WHICH IS NOW AS SOON AS AS SOON AS WE STARTED DOING THAT 12 INCH LINE, WE STARTED GETTING A LOT OF TRACTION. SO WE DO HAVE SEVERAL PEOPLE WANTING TO ANNEX ON BELTEX NOW. ALSO, THAT EIGHT INCH LINE GOES UP TO GOES UP BELTEX AND THE VIKING JACK WILL ALSO GO UP TO OUR PROPERTY. SO THIS IS ANOTHER REASON WHY WE'RE WANTING TO TRY TO GET THIS, THIS GOING. AND AND ALSO THIS IS THIS ITEM IS FOR US TO WORK WITH GBA GEORGE BUTLER ASSOCIATES, SO WE CAN GET THE ENGINEERING DONE AND GET THIS PROJECT HOPEFULLY GOING OUT TO BID. YOU'LL SEE THE NEXT MAP, IF YOU DON'T MIND. THIS ACTUALLY WILL SHOW WHAT THE PHASE TWO I KNOW ON THE WRITING IT SHOWS PHASE TWO EXPANSION, BUT TO ME IT'S ALL PHASE TWO. THIS WILL ACTUALLY SHOW WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PURPLE IS WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING. WHAT WE'RE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PIPE BURST FROM A 12 INCH TO A 15 INCH. THE GREEN ON THE BOTTOM, YOU'LL SEE THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING TO PROPOSE TO DO PARALLEL 12 INCH LINES WITH THE EXISTING LINES THAT THEY HAVE RIGHT NOW.
SO WE CAN KEEP THE LIFT STATIONS GOING TO MINIMIZE THE BYPASS PUMPING. YOU CAN HARDLY SEE WHERE THE VIKING JACK IS, BUT IT SAYS EIGHT INCH AND IT'S STEPPING OUT TO THE GREEN SPOT.
AND AS YOU KNOW THAT THAT'S THE GREEN SPOT THAT WE'RE WANTING TO GET WASTEWATER FROM AND GET IT DOWN WITH THIS PHASE TWO, IT WILL ACTUALLY ORIGINALLY IT WAS PLANNED NOT TO EVEN REALLY HAVE THAT MANY LOWS. BUT WHAT WE'RE PLANNING HERE IS WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO ACCOMMODATE 555 LOWS EXTRA. FOR THIS PROJECT. AND YOU'LL ALSO SEE THE YELLOW LINE. THAT'S WHAT THE DEVELOPER IS ENGINEERING. THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO TRAP THE OTHER LUAS TO GET TO CARRIAGE HILLS. AND I DO WANT TO ADD THAT THIS ENGINEERING IS ALSO GOING TO NEED TO UPGRADE THE CARRIAGE HILLS LIFT STATION FROM 40 HORSEPOWER TO 50 HORSEPOWER. IT'S GOING TO NEED A BIGGER GENERATOR, AND IT'S GOING TO NEED ELECTRICAL WORK. SO THERE'S THERE'S SEVERAL
[01:20:04]
IMPROVEMENTS, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF MOVING PARTS IN HERE. AND I WAS TRYING TO GET THEM TO CAPTURE KIND OF WHERE WE WERE AT, WHERE IT KIND OF HAS PROGRESSED AS AS THE GROWTH HAS BEEN COMING. MAYOR COUNCIL, I WOULD JUST DOVETAIL ON WHAT MATT SHARED WITH YOU AS WE LOOK BEGINNING OF 2025 AND AS WE GET TO THIS POINT OF THIS YEAR, WE'VE HAD A LOT OF INTEREST ON ON COMMERCIAL TRACKS OFF OAK KIMBROUGH AND AND THE FACT THAT WE'VE GOT WE'RE WORKING WITH PROPERTY OWNERS TO SECURE EASEMENTS, AND WE'VE BEEN FORTUNATE FOR THEM TO SEE THAT AS A POSSIBILITY. AND SO THE GOAL IS TO CONTINUE TO BUILD THOSE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THOSE FAMILIES. SO WHEN THEY SEE THE VALUE OF DEDICATED EASEMENTS, BECAUSE THEY SEE THE VALUE OF THEIR PROPERTY GOING UP, BUT ALSO JUST POSITION THE CITY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH ANNEXATION, NOW THAT WE'RE ABLE TO HAVE UTILITIES IN PLACE, WE CAN PURSUE THAT WHOLE COMMERCIAL PARK. THERE CAN COME INTO THE CITY, WHICH ALSO HELP WITH THE TOURS AS A ONCE THAT'S ESTABLISHED. SO ANYTHING THAT'S 50, 60, 100,000 SQUARE FOOT INVESTMENT THERE. THOSE ARE SOME DEFINITELY INCREASES THAT WE COULD DO MORE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS WITH. SO SO WE JUST WANT TO YOU KNOW, AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR GUIDANCE AND ALLOWING US TO BE ABLE TO GO THIS ROUTE. BUT ALSO KNOWING THAT IN THE GREEN AREA IS WHERE THE NEW TOWN CENTER AREA IS GOING TO BE BUILT. SO WE KNOW IF WE CAN GET THIS LINE IN MOTION TIMING WISE, WE'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE ALL THAT TIGHT AND NOT HAVE A DELAY KNOWING THAT WE HAVE AN EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE TO HANDLE THAT FIRST PHASE OF THAT DEVELOPMENT. QUESTIONS.COMMENTS. MATT. SO WE THE UPGRADE IS INCREASING THE CAPACITY. YES, MA'AM. DID WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING WITH THE ELECTRICAL ON THAT AS WELL? USUALLY WHEN THEY'RE PUTTING IN A NEW PUMPS AND ELECTRICAL, IT'S PART OF THE ELECTRICAL UPGRADES IN THE PANELS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PROBABLY. I'M NO ELECTRICIAN, BUT I'VE SEEN THEM DO IT QUITE A BIT OF TIMES WHERE THEY'RE HAVING TO EITHER UPGRADE THE GAUGE WIRES OR THEY'RE HAVING TO PUT MORE CONTROLS IN THERE. BUT I KNOW IT'S GOING FROM 40 HORSEPOWER TO 50, SO IT'S A LOT MORE POWER IS GOING TO BE USED, SO IT CAN CAPTURE THE EXTRA LOADS TO GET DOWN TO OUR PLANT.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANKS. I ANTICIPATED COMPLETION. YOU GOT Y'ALL GOT THAT FOR YOU AND YOUR PROJECTIONS? NO, SIR. WE HAVEN'T GOT THAT FAR. BUT I KNOW PHASE ONE, IT TOOK LESS THAN A YEAR, SO I WOULD HOPE THAT THAT THIS WOULD TAKE LESS THAN A YEAR. OKAY. OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS. MATT, DURING THIS PROCESS, IS THERE GOING TO BE ANY WATER PRESSURE ISSUES WITH WAS IT CARRIAGE HILLS AND BELL FARMS? NO MA'AM. THAT SHOULDN'T AFFECT THE WATER PRESSURE AT ALL BECAUSE THIS IS ALL GOING TO BE WASTEWATER OR THE COLOR OF THEIR WATER. NO, MA'AM. SO THAT THAT SHOULD NOT BE CROSS CONTAMINATING. NO NO NO NO. ALL RIGHT. I'LL TAKE SOME QUESTIONS OR EMOTION I WANT. I THINK I'LL ADD TO MAYOR ON THIS ITEM TOO. IS ALL ALL THE DEVELOPMENT IN THE COMMERCIAL PARK OWNS SEPTIC. AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANTED TO DO IN IN ENCOURAGING THOSE OWNERS TO COME INTO THE CITY IS WE WOULD DECOMMISSION THOSE SEPTIC SYSTEMS. SO THAT WAY THEY DON'T HAVE TO HAVE ANY VIOLATION, ANY ISSUES WITH TRYING TO EXPAND THEIR OPERATION ON A SEPTIC SYSTEM. SO THAT'D BE ONE OF THE PLUSES FOR MAKING THEM COMING TO THE CITY AND OFFER MORE CITY SERVICES WITH THE WITH THE ANNEXATION REQUESTS. WHEN Y'ALL GET A CHANCE, CAN Y'ALL CONNECT WITH. WHOMEVER Y'ALL NEED TO JUST TO SHOW THE THE PROJECTED GAIN FROM THE ENTITIES COMING ON, PROJECTED COMPANIES COMING ONLINE AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS FROM FROM THIS INVESTMENT SO WE CAN SEE THE COST AND, YOU KNOW, A PROJECTED ROI. YES, SIR. I THINK THAT'S ALWAYS KIND OF HELPFUL. SO PEOPLE CAN KNOW THAT THAT IS NOT AN ISOLATED INVESTMENT, THAT WE'RE DOING THIS WITH THE UNDERSTANDING OF AN ROI FOR THE FOR THESE PROJECTS. YES, SIR. ALL RIGHT. MOTION. MAYOR, COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE AMENDMENT TO THE STATEMENT OF WORK NUMBER SEVEN
