ADDRESS THE SPEAKER ISSUE, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED WITH OUR JOINT MEETING OF, OF
[DECLARATION OF A QUORUM AND CALL TO ORDER]
[00:00:07]
OUR JOINT MEETING OF THE ANGLETON CITY COUNCIL, ANGLETON BETTER LIVING COOPERATION JOINT MEETING SCHEDULED FOR MONDAY, JULY THE 12TH AT 5:30 PM, IT IS 5:34.THERE IS A QUORUM FOR COUNCIL AND THERE ALSO IS A QUORUM FOR ABLC.
SO WE'LL SHOW TO THE TABLE MS. MEGAN, YOU'RE UP FIRST.
[1. Discussion and possible action on Lakeside Park construction cuts and bid alternates]
NUMBER ONE, DISCUSS AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON LAKESIDE PARK CONSTRUCTION CUTS AND BIDS ALTERNATE. YES, THANK YOU.GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
SO WE HAVE BROUGHT THIS ITEM TO YOU ALL BUT ABLC HAS NOT HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THIS ITEM. SO WE'RE JUST GOING TO RECAP EVERYTHING FOR THEM REGARDING HOW MUCH WE'RE OVER FOR CONSTRUCTION, ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION COSTS AND THEN GET SOME DIRECTION FROM YOU BOTH REGARDING HOW WE WANT TO PROCEED.
SO THE CITY OF ANGLETON CLOSED CONSTRUCTION BIDS FOR LAKESIDE PARK ON MAY 13TH.
TWO CONSTRUCTION BIDS FROM DL MEACHUM LPN AND [INAUDIBLE] DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION, LLC WERE RECEIVED.
ANGLETON BETTER LIVING CORPORATION, THE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD AND CITY STAFF COMPLETED EVALUATIONS ON MAY TWENTY SIX AND SEVEN EVALUATIONS WERE RECEIVED.
THE HIGHEST RANKING CONTRACTOR WAS DL MEACHUM LP.
AT THE END OF MAY, STAFF WAS NOTIFIED.
THIS IS JUST A SIDEBAR THAT TPW GRANTS THAT WE APPLIED FOR, INCLUDING THE VOTER ACCESS GRANT AND THE RECREATION TRAILS GRANT AMOUNTING TO SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS WERE BOTH DENIED. AND SO WE WERE HOPING OR ANTICIPATING THAT WE MIGHT SEE SOME OF THAT FUNDING TO OFFSET SOME OF THE CONSTRUCTION COSTS.
STAFF REVIEWED PROPOSALS FOR LAKESIDE PARK CONSTRUCTION CUTS WITH CITY COUNCIL ON JUNE EIGHT, LIKE WE MENTIONED BEFORE, IN PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD ON JUNE 14.
THIS EVENING, WE'RE SEEKING INPUT, INPUT FROM ABLC.
THE RECREATION BOARD, PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD AGREED.
THE PAVILION DESIGN AND PLAYGROUND, FORM PLACE MATERIAL SHOULD STAY INTACT.
UPON FURTHER REVIEW OF THE FORM PLACE SUBSTRATE STAFF DOES NOT RECOMMEND A GRAVEL BASE UNDER THE CONCRETE BASE.
SO WHEN WE SPOKE TO CITY COUNCIL, THERE WAS A POTENTIAL REDUCTION OF SUBSTRATE MATERIAL IN THE AMOUNT OF TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS THAT WE WERE INITIALLY RECOMMENDING.
WHEN WE BROUGHT THIS TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD, THEY WERE CONCERNED WITH HOW THAT WOULD IMPACT THE LONGEVITY OF THE FORM PLACE MATERIAL.
AFTER WE TALKED TO PARK CONDON, WE DECIDED THAT IT PROBABLY WASN'T IN OUR BEST INTEREST TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT. IF WE HAVE ANY SHIFTING UNDERGROUND OF THAT THAT STRUCTURE, THAT COULD IMPACT THE FORM PLACE MATERIAL.
SO WE WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THE PLAYGROUND COMPLETELY INTACT, AS IT HAS BEEN BID.
WITH THE TPW REIMBURSEMENT OF ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS AND THE ADDITIONAL DONATION FROM ROTARY CLUB OF ANGLETON FOR HALF THE COST OF THE FISHING GEAR FOR NAMING RIGHTS, OUR END BALANCE THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT COMING UP WITH IS AROUND ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.
[INAUDIBLE] STAFF AND STAFF EXCUSE ME, MAY REQUEST THAT ARE REVISED QUOTES DUE TO THE DECLINE IN LUMBER SINCE AN AGREEMENT HAS NOT BEEN SIGNED AT THIS TIME.
CHRIS PELTIER DID REACH OUT TO US THIS MORNING.
WE'VE BEEN IN TALKS WITH [INAUDIBLE] AS WELL ABOUT THE POTENTIAL DECLINE IN LUMBER.
SO BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD WITH AN AGREEMENT OR FINALIZE THAT AGREEMENT, THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN ASK THE CONTRACTOR TO COME DOWN TO SEE IF THAT MIGHT HELP OFFSET SOME OF THOSE COSTS. ANOTHER THING THAT OUR FINANCE DIRECTOR WANTED US TO MENTION IS THAT WE DO HAVE INCREASED SALES TAX.
SO THAT SHOULD HELP COVER SOME ADDITIONAL EXPENSES.
OTHER POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES FOR OUR OVERAGE COULD BE FROM A VARIETY OR COMBINATION OF STREAMS, INCLUDING REAPPLYING FOR THE TPW GRANT FOR RECREATIONAL TRAILS, WHICH IS A TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR GRANT.
GENERAL FUND RESERVE, PARKLAND'S DEDICATION FUNDS AND ABLC RESERVE.
SO TONIGHT, WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR IS ABLC'S INPUT FOR ALL OF THE COSTS THAT WERE RECOMMENDED FOR CUTS AND ALSO HOW YOU ALL WOULD LIKE US TO MOVE FORWARD, BOTH CITY COUNCIL AND ABLC WITH THOSE CUTS AND AND HOW YOU WOULD LIKE US TO RESOURCE THOSE.
IF IT'S A COMBINATION OF REAPPLYING FOR THE TPW GRANT USING SOME OF OUR GENERAL FUND RESERVES, SOME OF THE PARKLAND DEDICATION, I CAN GIVE YOU A GENERAL IDEA OF HOW MUCH WE HAVE IN THERE TODAY AND WHAT WE'RE EXPECTING TO RECEIVE IN THE NEXT YEAR AND THEN ALSO ABLC FUND RESERVES.
SO I'LL OPEN IT UP FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
AND ALSO, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A MIC, IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, WE'LL NEED YOU TO COME TO THE PODIUM. WE'LL OPEN UP THE ABLC.
GO AHEAD, CHARLIE. OK, THE THE ORIGINAL WHEN WE WERE DOING THE PLANNING FOR LAKESIDE PARK, WE PUT 500,000 PLUS THE AIR CONDITIONING REDO FOR THE REC CENTER TOGETHER AND A NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR
[00:05:02]
BOND. WE HAVE NOT SPENT ALL OF THAT 500,000 DOLLARS FOR.THANK YOU, I COULDN'T RECALL WITH THAT, SO HOW MUCH IS LEFT OF THAT? YES, ACTUALLY, I ASKED THAT SAME QUESTION A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO TO CHRIS HILL.
HE DID NOTE THAT WE EXCEEDED OUR OUR ESTIMATED RATE FOR HVAC REPAIRS AT THE REC CENTER BEFORE MY TIME HERE.
SO WE WENT THROUGH ALL OF THOSE INVOICES AND WE HAVE EXCEEDED THAT BOND.
SO WE UNFORTUNATELY DO NOT HAVE ADDITIONAL FUNDS FROM THAT BOND FROM WHAT WE CAN TELL.
SO WITH THAT BOND, IT WAS FOR THE REC CENTER.
BUT WE ALSO WENT OUT FOR BOND, I BELIEVE, FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENTS IS WHAT WE FOUND.
AND SO THE ONLY REMAINING FUNDS THAT WE HAVE ARE THE ROAD IMPROVEMENTS OUT OF THAT BOND.
I WOULD ASK THEN AT THE NEXT ABLC MEETING, WE HAVE AN ACCOUNTING OF THAT, I DON'T RECALL GETTING DETAILS THAT THE AC.
HAPPENS, YOU GET STARTED AND IT COSTS MORE.
SO, OK, SO I WAS HOPING THAT THAT DESIGN THAT WE WERE GOING TO SAVE BECAUSE WE WERE MOVING FROM A FIVE MILLION TO A THREE MILLION, I WAS THINKING, HEY, LET'S JUST SPEND THAT. NO WONDER THAT'S NOT ON THE BOARD.
SO MEGAN AND I WERE KIND OF COMPARING NUMBERS HERE REAL QUICKLY BEFORE WE WENT ON.
SO THE AMOUNT WHEN WE TAKE OUT THE TPW, WHICH TO ME MAKES PERFECT SENSE TO SPEND THAT IT WAS THE PURPOSE OF THAT GRANT.
AND THEN IF THE ROTARY IS PAYING FOR ONE HALF THE PIER, YOU GAVE ME 281,688 OF THE THE WITHDRAWALS. WHAT DO YOU CALL THOSE WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO, THE REMOVALS? CUTS. OK, REMOVING.
WE'RE NOW AT THREE MILLION ONE HUNDRED EIGHTEEN THOUSAND NINE SEVENTY FOUR.
BUT I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE'S RIGHT.
SO THAT WAS THE 10,000 THAT WE WERE ADDING BACK IN FOR THE SUBSTRATE, FOR THE PLAYGROUND.
THE OTHER QUESTION THAT I WOULD ASK IS HOW MUCH COULD BE THE POTENTIAL GRANT THAT WE COULD GO OUT ON? BUT OF COURSE, THERE'S NO GUARANTEE YOU'RE GOING TO GET.
BUT WHAT IS THAT AMOUNT? THAT IS 200,000.
OK, SO WE'RE SHORT ONE HUNDRED TWENTY EIGHT THOUSAND, THERE'S NOT JUST A WHOLE LOT OF RESERVES LEFT ANYWAY.
WE'RE GOING TO GET TO SAVE OUR DESIGN.
THANK YOU, CHARLIE. ANYBODY ELSE FROM ABLC.
THEY'RE ALL ON THE BACK ROW THERE.
COUNCIL. I DO JUST HAVE ONE QUICK QUESTION, I SEE WHERE WE WERE ASKING FOR ROTARY TO HELP US OUT WITH WHAT WOULD WOULD WE BE OPPOSED TO MAYBE LOOKING AT MAYBE SOME OF OUR CORPORATE PARTNERS TO THE SOUTH OF ANGLETON AND ASKING THEM? AND THE ONLY WAY I SAID THAT BECAUSE I DID TOSS THE QUESTION OUT THERE TO A COUPLE OF THOSE SOUTH END PARTNERS AND ONE OF THEM DOES WANT TO MEET.
SO I DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT WOULD BE AN OPTION TO SEE IF THAT BECAUSE I WOULD SEE WE HAVE ONE NAMING RIGHT. BUT DO WE WANT TO HAVE MULTIPLE IF THAT COMES TO FRUITION? SO I HAVE DIRECTED THE PARKS, PARKS AND REC STAFF TO DRAW UP A LIST OF POTENTIAL PROJECTS, OK, SO THAT WHEN YOU OR YOU AND I OR WHATEVER THE GROUP THAT IS AND GO, WE HAVE THAT CONVERSATION, WE CAN GIVE THEM THE SMALL, THE LARGE AND YOU KNOW OF SOME OPTIONS.
OK, BECAUSE I DID REACH OUT TO A COUPLE OF THEM AND HAVE GOTTEN A VERBAL RESPONSE THAT THEY WOULD LOVE TO SIT AND TALK BECAUSE I DON'T THINK WE HAVE SOME OF THOSE CORPORATE SPONSORS IN OUR COMMUNITY AND A LOT OF OUR EMPLOYEES, CITIZENS MAY WORK AT SOME OF THOSE CORPORATIONS. SO I'M I THINK IT'S AT LEAST HAVE A CONVERSATION STARTED FROM THERE.
ABSOLUTELY. OK, I THINK ONE'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT WEEK.
JOHN? ANYBODY ELSE? I MOVE [INAUDIBLE]. HERE'S, I SAW THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION AND O THERS MIGHT DISAGREE WITH ME.
I DON'T WANT TO MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE PAVILION BECAUSE I FEEL IF WE'RE GOING TO DO IT, THAT'S OUR ONE SHOT AT DOING THE PAVILION AS OPPOSED TO SOME OF THE LANDSCAPING AND SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE WANT TO DO THAT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVES, THAT CAN BE BUDGETED IN THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS TO BUDGET AND ACTUALLY TAKE ON.
[00:10:04]
SO IF IT'S MY OPINION, I WOULD RATHER CUT IN AREAS THAT WE CAN ADD LATER AND NOT GO BACK AND REDO SOMETHING THAT WE ALREADY DID OR BE STUCK WITH SOMETHING THAT WE KNOW WHEN WE OPEN THE PARK WE DON'T WANT OR WE WANT TO IMPROVE.SO THE PAVILION, THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION WAS THE CONSTRUCTION CUTS, EXCLUDING PLAYGROUND STRUCTURES AND ADJUSTMENTS TO THE PAVILION.
YOU SAID WITH THE APPROVED MODIFICATIONS TO THE.
SO YOU WANT ZERO MODIFICATIONS TO THE PAVILION? RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYIGN.
SO LIKE FOR THE EXISTING STRUCTURE, ONE OF THE OPTIONS WAS WE HAVE TWO BANKS OF STAIRS ON EITHER SIDE COMING DOWN TO THE KAYAK LAUNCH.
THAT WOULD BE ELIMINATING ONE AND KEEPING THE PRIMARY ONE WHERE THE ADA PATH IS.
SO YES, THERE ARE SOME LIKE ANOTHER ONE IS THE ACTUAL STAGE PORTION THAT OVERLOOKS THE LAWN. IT'S LIKE REDUCING THE NUMBER OF STEPS FROM FOUR TO TWO OR THINGS LIKE THAT.
THE ETCHING OF THE CONCRETE, IT WOULD JUST BE A DIFFERENT FINISH OF THE CONCRETE OF THE PAVILION. SO THEY WERE CUTS THAT WE THOUGHT WOULDN'T IMPACT THE OVERALL DESIGN.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO GO BACK TO DESIGN DEVELOPMENT TO ELIMINATE SOME OF THOSE THINGS. BUT IT DIDN'T HEAVILY IMPACT THE OVERALL, YOU KNOW, FEEL OF THE PAVILION.
I WAS GONNA ASK ABOUT ON THE HARDSCAPE, THE TEN FOOT CONCRETE TRAIL.
DOES IT HAVE TO BE 10 FEET? SO WE HAVE INCLUDED THAT IN OUR MINIMUM PARK STANDARDS, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE FREEDOM PARK. SO FREEDOM PARK IS A 10 FOOT DG TRAIL AND WE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THAT OUR STANDARD WITH OUR SECONDARY PATHWAYS BEING SIX, WHICH IS ALSO INCLUDED IN HERE.
AND THEN YOUR SIDEWALK PATHS BEING FOUR.
THAT IS CERTAINLY A POSSIBILITY, I JUST WOULDN'T RECOMMEND IT FROM A STAFF PERSPECTIVE IF WE'RE TRYING TO CREATE CONTINUITY HERE IN OUR PARK SYSTEM.
I GUESS I'D HAVE TO QUESTION WHY DO WE WANT A STANDARD OF 10 FEEL.
BECAUSE IT ALLOWS FOR MULTIMODAL, IT ALLOWS YOU TO PASS EASILY GOING EACH DIRECTION.
SO ONCE YOU START SCRUNCHING THAT DOWN, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE THE ROOM FOR CYCLISTS AND WALKERS OR WHAT HAVE YOU.
YOU START SCRUNCHING IT DOWN, YOU'RE LOOKING CHEAPER.
I MEAN, IT'S MAKING IT A CHEAPER DESIGN.
THEN TO BE THOUGHTFUL OF THE PEOPLE ACTUALLY USING THESE, THOSE PATHWAYS.
AND ENCOURAGING THE USE OF THEM BECAUSE IF IT BECOMES UNCOMFORTABLE TO USE THEM, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO USE THEM. I GET IT, BUT I WAS LIKE IS CHRIS HERE, AVAILABLE? CHRIS PELTIER? NO, 2.0. I'M SORRY.
TRYING TO I MEAN, LAKESIDE PARK IS GOING TO BE REALLY NICE.
OK, SO. MY QUESTION IS, OK, WE CAN I DON'T KNOW WHAT MAINTENANCE TRAIL NEAR ANCHOR ROAD REDUCED THICKNESS FROM SIX INCHES TO FOUR POINT FIVE.
SO I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS, BUT IT'S THIRTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS.
DO WE HAVE TO HAVE THAT? YES, SO THAT'S THE ACCESS FOR ANGLETON DRAINAGE DISTRICT AND WE DO THAT WAS PART OF THE AGREEMENT WITH ANGLETON DRAINAGE DISTRICT.
WE DO HAVE TO MAINTAIN THAT, BUT WE DID CUT IT DOWN TO WHERE IT'S STILL.
OK, MY QUESTION THAT WAS GOING TO GO TO CHRIS HILL WAS OK, THAT THE LATEST AND THANK YOU, MEGAN, BECAUSE YOU SENT US THE VERY LATEST OF THE SALES REVENUE AND IT'D GONE DOWN SLIGHTLY. BUT THAT ALWAYS HAPPENS.
IT'S UP A LITTLE. IT'S DOWN A LITTLE, BUT IT'S STILL GENERALLY UP.
WHAT I WANTED WAS, OK, THE 128 THOUSAND THAT WE'RE SHORT, OK? WE'VE BUDGETED FIVE PERCENT INCREASE, RIGHT, IN SALES TAX.
BECAUSE I SEE I KNEW HE WOULD KNOW, OK, OK, YEAH.
INCREMENTAL RATE THROUGH THE NEXT 12 MONTHS TO GET US TO THE 128? AND HE COULD PROBABLY DO THAT PRETTY QUICKLY, BECAUSE WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS WE NEED TO
[00:15:02]
FIGURE OUT WHAT WE CAN'T WE CAN'T BLOW THE BUDGET FOR ABLC ENTIRELY.AND I KNOW YOU WOULD. YOU'RE NOT PROPOSING THAT EITHER.
BUT WHAT I WANTED TO SEE IS THE 128 THAT WE'RE SHORT WAS WHAT STAFF HAS PROPOSED, WHICH I THINK IS REASONABLE.
AND USING THE 150 IS WHAT WOULD BE THE INCREMENT.
THE ADDITIONAL IT WAS AT FOUR POINT FIVE SEVEN PERCENT FOR THE YEAR IS WHAT I REMEMBER WAS ON WHAT YOU HAD SENT OVER.
WHERE WE ARE FOR THE YEAR, WHERE WE ARE.
SO THE QUESTION WOULD BE WHAT DID WE BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR? THE CONSTRUCTION IS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE.
HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL OVER THE BUDGET WOULD WE NEED TO TO REALIZE TO EQUAL THE 128? AND I CAN'T DO THAT MATH.
WELL, I MEAN, WE'RE DOING A LOT OF SPECULATION.
WE DON'T EVEN WE HAVEN'T GONE OUT FOR BID ON THE STUFF.
SO IF THAT'S OVER COST, THEN IT COULD BE CUTTING MORE THINGS.
I MEAN I MEAN, I KIND OF I SUPPORT STAFF'S RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WHAT THEY SAID TO CUT.
AND THEN WE JUST HAVE TO FIGURE OUT AT SOME POINT AND REASSESS, YOU KNOW, IF WE GO OUT FOR A BOND FOR THE SERVICE CENTER, YOU KNOW, DO WE ADD THAT BACK IN THERE? SO WE HAVE MULTIPLE OPTIONS DOWN THE ROAD TO POTENTIALLY ADD THAT BACK [INAUDIBLE], YOU KNOW, APPLY FOR GRANTS.
I MEAN, I THINK THAT'S A GREAT WAY TO TO PUT SOME OF THAT BACK IN.
I THINK SPECULATING ON SALES TAX AND SOME OF THOSE THINGS RIGHT NOW IS JUST.
IT'S IT'S JUST AND SAY WE'RE GOING TO BUILD IN AND WHATEVER, I JUST DON'T THINK IT'S FRUITFUL AT THIS POINT. I SAY WE MAKE THE CUTS.
I SAY WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT AND THEN THOSE THINGS THAT DON'T MAKE IT LIKE, AGAIN, THE STAIRS TO THE KAYAK RAMP.
IF WE CAN COME BACK AND PUT THAT IN AT SOME POINT BECAUSE WE WANT TO REASSESS ITS VALUE, THEN WE GO AFTER IT.
I THINK THE PROBLEM WITH THAT, THOUGH, IS WHEN WE MOVE INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH A CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, WE'VE GOT TO HAVE THAT DESIGNATED.
AND SO WE DO HAVE THE QUOTES AT WHAT THEY ARE PROPOSING, WHAT THEY WILL DO THE WORK FOR.
WE'RE GOING TO GO OUT FOR BID AND THE QUOTES WILL COME IN AND THEY MAY OR MAY NOT BE WHAT WE WANT AND. AGAIN, WE'LL HAVE TO KIND OF REASSESS AND [INAUDIBLE] ONCE THE QUOTES COME BACK IN. WELL, THE QUOTE, THESE ARE THE QUOTES.
YEAH, SO THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
WE'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO SAY, YES, Y'ALL ARE OK WITH THE CUTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE BASED OFF OF WHAT HAS BEEN QUOTED.
AND HOW COMFORTABLE ARE YOU WITH A HUNDRED AND TWENTY EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLAR, ALMOST ONE HUNDRED TWENTY NINE THOUSAND DOLLAR OVERAGE? ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH US GOING UP FOR GRANT? WE HAVE ABOUT TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN EARMARKED FOR ANYTHING UNDER PARKLAND DEDICATION.
DO YOU WANT TO USE SOME OF THOSE FUNDS? WE CAN USE A PORTION OF GENERAL FUND RESERVES.
WE COULD POTENTIALLY USE A PORTION OF ABLC FUND RESERVES.
A COMBINATION OF ALL OF THOSE THINGS COULD HELP US GET TO THE HUNDRED AND TWENTY NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS THAT WE'RE MISSING.
THE OTHER THING TO CONSIDER, TOO, IS PLANNING WITH CONSTRUCTION.
IF WE GO OUT FOR THE RECREATIONAL TRAILS GRANT, WE CAN'T MOVE FORWARD WITH SOME OF THOSE PORTIONS OR THAT PORTION OF CONSTRUCTION AND WE WON'T KNOW IF WE'RE AWARDED THAT TILL NEXT MAY. SO WHERE WILL WE BE IN CONSTRUCTION BY THE TIME THAT WE'RE AWARDED THAT? THAT WOULD COVER AND EXCEED WHAT WE NEED BECAUSE WE ONLY NEED ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY NINE.
SO THOSE ARE JUST ALL THINGS THAT WE NEED TO CONSIDER.
WHAT ARE WE WILLING TO SAY TODAY THAT WE'RE GOING TO COMMIT TO? AND IF WE'RE NOT READY TO COMMIT TO THAT, THEN WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW AND WHAT TO CUT.
THAT IS ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
BUT YOU'VE ALREADY GIVE US THE LIST OF THE 129 YOU WANT TO CUT.
RIGHT. SO BUT I'VE ON THE BACK PAGE OF THOSE CUTS.
I HAVEN'T PROPOSED THAT WE DO ANYTHING WITH THE PAVILION IN ADDITION TO OR ANYTHING WITH THE PLAYGROUND. SO IF Y'ALL WANT TO SAY, HEY, DON'T MOVE FORWARD WITH PLAYGROUND, THEN THERE'S YOUR 129. THAT'S AN EXCESS.
BUT KNOWING THE INPUT FROM THE PUBLIC AND WHAT THIS WAS DESIGNED TO BE, I THINK THAT'S A HARD DECISION TO MAKE. ALL RIGHT, GENTLEMEN.
I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION ABOUT THE SOUTH PARKING LOT.
DOES IT HAVE TO BE IN? THE SOUTH PARKING LOT.
IT'S IN THE HARDSCAPE SECTION.
SOUTH PARKING LOT, SIX INCH THICK, CONCRETE PAVED.
SO THAT IS YOUR MAIN PARKING LOT, YES.
RIGHT. OK. FOR ME, AGAIN, TO THIS WHAT WE'RE DOING TO GIVE ANGLETON DRAINAGE DISTRICT ACCESS TO THIS.
[00:20:01]
WHICH LINE ITEM ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE? OH, LET'S SEE.IN THE PROPOSED CUTS, IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO, CECIL? [INAUDIBLE] WHAT ARE WE PROPOSING TO PUT IN OFF OF COUNTY ROAD 44 TO GIVE ANGLETON DRAINAGE DISTRICT ACCESS TO THIS? IT IS JUST THE ACTUAL, IT'S PART OF OUR TRAIL, SO WE'LL BE USING IT AS PART OF OUR TRAIL SYSTEM, BUT IT IS ALSO THEIR PATHWAY.
SO WE'RE SAYING WHERE THEY DON'T, THAT THICKNESS WILL SUFFICE FROM GETTING THEM FROM ANCHOR ROAD 44 TO THEIR PUMP, THAT GATE ENCLOSURE AND BACK OUT.
BUT IT ACTS AS, IT'S MULTIPURPOSE.
IT IS OUR TRAIL SYSTEM. WHERE I WAS GOING TOO WITH THIS IS, IF WE'RE BEEFING UP MORE THAN WHAT THEY HAVE TODAY AND WE'RE JUST SPENDING MONEY THAT I DON'T THINK WE NECESSARILY NEED, IF THEY NEEDED A BEEFY DRIVEWAY THEY SHOULD HAVE BUILT.
THEY WOULD HAVE HAD IT ALREADY. YEAH, I WOULD TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THIS IS OUR ACTUAL TRAIL.
OK. YEAH. HAVE YOU HAD ANY CONVERSATION WITH THE CONTRACTOR OR POTENTIAL CONTRACTOR? HAS IT JUST BEEN WITH? WITH CLARK CONDON IT HAS BEEN.
THE, CLARK CONDON HAS DONE THESE VALUE ENGINEERED REDUCTIONS.
YES. SO WHAT WE WERE MENTIONING EARLIER IS THAT WE CAN SPEAK WITH CONTRACTOR ABOUT REBIDDING SOME ITEMS SPECIFICALLY LUMBER SINCE WE NOW KNOW THAT THAT COST HAS COME DOWN CONTRACTOR UNTIL YOU HAVE A CONTRACT.
RIGHT. ONCE YOU GET A CONTRACT, THEN THE OWNER AND THE CONTRACTOR WITH THE ARCHITECT, WHOEVER, THEY CAN SIT DOWN AT THE TABLE AND THEIR CONTRACTOR CAN SAY, HERE ARE CERTAIN PLACES I CAN SAVE YOU MONEY IF YOU'RE WILLING TO WORK WITH ME ON THIS, BECAUSE THE CONTRACTOR IF HE, THESE ARE PRETTY COUPLE OF HIGHLY RANKED CONTRACTORS.
BUBBA ONE AND BUBBA TWO SO, AS A POTENTIAL FOR GETTING SOME.
ANOTHER COUPLE SETS OF EYES ON IT AND COMING UP WITH SOME SOME COST SAVINGS, BUT THAT'S A JUST HOPE. RIGHT.
AND UNLESS WE'VE HAD SOME CONVERSATION WITH MEACHUM.
DL MEACHUM. WE HAVE NOT AT THIS POINT.
WE HAVE INFORMED THEM THAT WE ARE COMING HERE TONIGHT WITH A PROPOSAL TO ACCEPT THEM AS THE WINNING BIDDER AND THAT WE ARE ALREADY WORKING ON THAT AGREEMENT WITH THE [INAUDIBLE] LAW OFFICE. AND SO THEY ARE AWARE OF THAT.
THEY UNDERSTAND THAT WE HOPE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THEM, BUT WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSES. SO IT'S ALL UP FRONT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO APPROACH THREE MILLION DOLLARS ANYWAY POSSIBLE. SO.
ONE OF THE THINGS WHEN I TALKED TO MEGAN TODAY ABOUT LUMBER PRICES, THEY'VE DROPPED.
PROBABLY IN HALF SINCE THE FIRST PART OF MAY WHEN THEY WERE PREPARING THIS BID AND THEY HAVE LIKE A FIFTY SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLAR COST TO ON THE TRAIL SYSTEM, WE GOT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW WHERE THE CONCRETE WEAR IS OUT THERE, BUT INSTEAD OF USING THE CONCRETE WEAR AS PART OF THE PATH OF BUILDING A TRAIL THAT'S ELEVATED OVER SOME RIPRAP, BUT FIFTY SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A PATH FROM ME TO YOU SEEMS KIND OF HIGH.
BUT LUMBER WAS WHEN THEY BID IT.
LUMBER WAS AT AN ALL TIME HIGH.
AND WE HAVE LUMBER ON THE BOARDWALK AND LUMBER AND A NUMBER OF PLACES.
WE ALSO HAVE SOME OTHER LUMBER PRODUCTS THAT THAT MAY HAVE DROPPED CONSIDERABLY AS WELL.
AND THAT ONE THING I'M HOPING THAT WE CAN FIND SOME OTHER CUTS WITHOUT CHANGING THE PROJECT. BUT BUT MY LOOKING AT TODAY, I FELT LIKE THE STAFF DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB CUTTING THE THINGS THAT REALLY WEREN'T ESSENTIAL TO THE PROJECT.
AND BEING THE PART OF THE PROBLEM WE HAVE IS WE'RE BIDDING PROJECT JUST LIKE I AM ELSEWHERE ON HOUSING AND DEVELOPMENT, WHERE WE'VE BEEN AT A RIDICULOUS PRICING TIME.
SO I'M KIND OF SURPRISED THEY GOT IT AS CLOSE AS THEY DID.
BUT BUT I THINK THERE'S JUST AS YOU MENTIONED, WE SIT DOWN WITH A CONTRACTOR.
I'M GETTING THE DROP IN PRICES OF CERTAIN MATERIALS.
I MAY VERY WELL CUT SOMETHING THAT WILL GET US CLOSE, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT FOR SURE.
BUT I'M FINDING THAT ON MY SIDE.
ANYTHING ON YOUR END MR. MARK? I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS RELEVANT OR NOT, BUT I THOUGHT JUST CAME INTO MY MIND WHEN
[00:25:04]
CHRIS WAS TALKING. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF YOU COULD USE IT OR.BUT YOU GUYS HAVE TAKEN ALL THAT THOSE POLLS DOWN FROM WELCH PARK.
IS THERE ANY OF ANY OF THAT THAT IS REUSABLE? COULD BE RECUT? COULD BE. DOES IT EVEN STILL EXIST OR HAS IT ALL HAS THE COMMUNITY ALL TAKEN IT? BUT ANYWAY, I THROW THAT OUT FOR WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE WORTH TO PEOPLE WHO KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THAT. THANK YOU.
BECAUSE THOSE HAVE BEEN UP FOR QUITE SOME TIME AT WELCH PARK, STEWART HAD REPORTED JUST RECENTLY ABOUT THE REMOVAL AND WE HAD A CONTRACTOR COME DOWN AND AND AND REMOVE NOT REMOVE THE POLES, BUT THEY ARE DOWN.
SO WE'RE REMOVING LIGHTS AND HAVE AN ENTITY WITHIN THE COMMUNITY THAT'S HAULING THE POLES OFF. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM FOR OUR NEW DEVELOPMENT FOR REUSE.
MARK YOU HAVE ANYTHING? YEAH. FIRST I'D LIKE TO SAY, I APPRECIATE STAFF'S EFFORT TO REDUCE EVERYTHING AS POSSIBLE, AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, AND I AGREE THAT WE PROBABLY SHOULDN'T TOUCH THE PAVILION AT ALL.
WE'RE GOING TO DO IT, DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.
I DON'T KNOW, CHRIS PART OF PARKS BOARD.
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY? AS PART OF PARKS BOARD? AS PART OF PARKS BOARD.
OF THE PARKS BOARD, WHAT OUR OPINION WAS ON IT? YEAH.
FOR THE MOST PART, WE WE AGREE TO IT.
WE I THINK THE SUBSTRATE OR THE CONCRETE UNDER THE PLAYGROUND, YOU WANT TO USE A RUBBERIZED MATERIAL THAT WAS TALKED BACK AND FORTH OF GRAVEL OR CONCRETE.
AND I THINK CONSENSUS WAS WE WANTED SOMETHING LONG TERM SO THAT CONCRETE WAS WORTH THE ADDITIONAL PRICE, BUT.
ANOTHER PART OF THIS PROJECT IS, YOU KNOW, WE AND JOHN JUST ALLUDED TO IT BEFORE, SO SOMETIMES WE WE GO FORWARD WITH A PROJECT IN A PARK, WHEREVER IT MAY BE, AND WE DON'T COMPLETE THEM ALL THE WAY. AND WE SAY WE'LL DO IT LATER.
A LOT OF TIMES I LATER NEVER COMES.
AND IT JUST THIS ONE, CONSIDERING THE TIMES WE'RE DEALING WITH, WE'RE AWFULLY CLOSE.
AND I THINK MEGAN HAD SOME GOOD IDEAS ON POSSIBLE OTHER GRANTS, SOME OTHER THINGS.
AND LIKE CECIL SAID, SITTING DOWN WITH THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR, WE MAY FIND SOME COMMON GROUND, WHETHER THERE'S BEEN PRICE REDUCTIONS THAT THEY CAN ADJUST TO OR SOMETHING ELSE THAT WOULD GET US VERY CLOSE THAT WAY WE COULD FINISH THE PROJECT AS EVERYBODY INTENDED IT TO BE SO, PARKS BOARD SEEMED TO BE ALL IN AGREEMENT AND MOVING FORWARD.
IDEALLY, WE'D LOVE FOR IT TO BE UNDER BUDGET, BUT THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE IN TODAY'S CLIMATE.
BUT I THINK WE'LL GET MOST EVERYTHING WE ASKED FOR.
IT'S JUST AND I, LIKE CHARLOTTE WAS SAYING, AND I KNOW YOU CAN'T GUARANTEE SALES TAX REVENUE, BUT THE ABLC SEEMED TO BE TRENDING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, BUT.
I THINK PARKS BOARD, LIKE I SAID, WE WERE FOR IT, WE WERE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT JUST GOING AHEAD WITH THE WAY WE PLANNED.
BUT THEN AGAIN, PARKS BOARD ISN'T SPENDING THE MONEY [INAUDIBLE].
THAT'S WHAT WE LIKE. WELL, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE, WHAT, THREE YEARS INVESTED IN THIS NOW? OH, YEAH. SO, I MEAN.
YEAH, IT'S BEEN QUITE A WHILE.
AND SOME OF US LIKE [INAUDIBLE] ON THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT AND I STARTED TALKING ABOUT IT 15 YEARS AGO. SO IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING.
I NEVER INTENDED IT TO OR EXPECT IT TO BE SOMETHING AS GRAND AS WE HAVE, BUT IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT REALLY AWESOME OUT THERE.
AND I THINK THIS HAS A POTENTIAL FOR THAT.
MEGAN, DID YOU IN YOUR YOUR SUGGESTION HERE.
GO BACK TO IT. [INAUDIBLE] THAT YOU.
YOU REDUCE THE CONSTRUCTION COST BY TWO SEVENTY ONE, SIX EIGHTY SEVEN, WHAT MAKES UP THE 271,687? IS THAT? IT SHOULD AND I'LL CALCULATE THESE REALLY QUICKLY, SO THE ENTIRE FIRST PAGE, WHICH IS TABULATED DOWN AT THE BOTTOM.
WHERE ARE WE TALKING ABOUT FIRST PAGE? SO IF YOU LOOK AT LAKESIDE PARK POTENTIAL VALUE ENGINEERING.
YEAH THE TWO HUNDRED THIRTY FOUR THOUSAND, EIGHT SEVENTY FIVE? RIGHT. SO IF YOU TAKE THAT PLUS THE TOTAL OF SIDE ITEMS ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE.
[00:30:03]
WE SHOULD AND I'M WONDERING IF THE THE SUBSTRATE MADE THIS OFF, BUT WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT A SAVINGS OF AROUND TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY ONE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED EIGHTY SEVEN DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS.SIDE ITEMS. OK, I GOT, YOU NOW.
BECAUSE THAT GOES RIGHT BACK TO WHAT MARK AND I BOTH WERE SAYING OF CHANGING, YOU TAKE OUT THE CEILING FANS AND THINGS LIKE THAT ON THE PAVILION.
YEAH, WE'RE NOT RECOMMENDING THAT.
WE'RE NOT RECOMMENDING WE TOUCH ANYTHING WITH PLAYGROUND SERVICING ALTERNATIVES OR THE PAVILION. SO WE'RE SAYING LET'S MOVE FORWARD WITH ALL THE OTHER CUTS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF PLAYGROUND AND PAVILION CUTS, OK, AND THEN WE'D LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH TWO BID ALTERNATES, WHICH I'M PROPOSING WE PAY OUT OF PARKLAND DEDICATION.
AND SO HERE'S ANOTHER RECOMMENDATION TO CONSIDER, IS THAT WE PURSUE THAT RECREATION TRAILS GRANT AGAIN AS LONG AS WE CAN MEET THE REQUIREMENTS REGARDING CONSTRUCTION, BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO DELAY CONSTRUCTION JUST TO WAIT TO HEAR FROM THE GRANT.
AND IF THAT FALLS THROUGH, THEN WE PAY FOR EVERYTHING IN EXCESS OF ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS OUT OF PARKLAND DEDICATION AND FIFTY THOUSAND COME FROM GENERAL FUND RESERVE AND FIFTY THOUSAND COME FROM ABLC RESERVE.
AND. I DON'T REALLY SUPPORT TAKING FIFTY THOUSAND OUT OF ABLC RESERVES WHEN, LIKE CHARLIE MENTIONED, WE DON'T HAVE MUCH LEFT IN THERE AND IF SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENS AND SOME THAT THE REC CENTER BREAKS OR WHATEVER ELSE, WE'RE GOING TO BE KIND OF STUCK.
WHAT'S IN THERE MEGAN? IN THE ABLC RESERVE? COULD YOU HAVE THAT NUMBER? EIGHT HUNDRED ELEVEN NO, EXCUSE ME.
SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT EIGHT HUNDRED THIRTEEN THOUSAND IS WHAT CHRIS HILL INFORMED ME TODAY . YOU MENTIONED A NUMBER, THREE MILLION ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY EIGHT THOUSAND I DON'T HAVE THAT NUMBER WRITTEN. WHAT'S THAT 128? WHAT, WHAT, WHAT. YES.
SO IF AFTER YOU TAKE THE REDUCTIONS THAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT, THE CUTS, LET ME JUST ADD BACK THE 150.
YOU'RE AT A THREE POINT THREE ONE ONE FIVE EIGHT SIX AND TWO CENTS.
WE HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS FROM THE TPW REIMBURSEMENT. SO ONCE YOU REMOVE A HUNDRED AND FIFTY, YOU'RE LOOKING AT THREE POINT ONE SIX ONE FIVE EIGHT SIX AND TWO CENTS.
AND THEN YOU ADD IN THE OR TAKE AWAY THE ROTARY CONTRIBUTION OF YEP. THANK YOU. NOW YOU'RE DOWN TO THE 128.
128, WHAT I HAVE IS ONE TWENTY EIGHT, NINE SEVENTY FOUR AND FORTY CENTS.
YOU'RE ABOUT FOUR AND A HALF PERCENT OVER THE THREE MILLION DOLLARS.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT IN PERCENTAGE, I'D LIKE TO HAVE ONE HUNDRED TWENTY EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS GIVEN TO ME, BUT IT'S FOUR POINT FIVE PERCENT.
OVER THE THREE MILLION DOLLARS, IF YOU LOOK AT IT FROM THAT, THAT END.
I'D KIND OF LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE NEW PRICE IS BEFORE I AGREE TO ANYTHING.
I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET A NEW PRICE.
THAT'S A I MEAN, WE WILL DEFINITELY HAVE A CONVERSATION BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT GONE THROUGH CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION.
SO WE WILL ASK THAT WE GET BELOW THAT THRESHOLD.
I GUESS OPTION ONE IS, HEY, YOU YOU MEET US AT WHERE WE, YOU KNOW, NEED YOU AT THE THREE PLUS THE TPW REIMBURSEMENT AND ROTARY'S CONTRIBUTION.
IF THEY'RE UNABLE TO DO THAT, WE CAN PURSUE A TPW GRANT.
BUT IF THAT DOES NOT COME TO FRUITION OR WE CAN'T MEET THOSE REQUIREMENTS, I WOULD ADVISE THAT WE HAVE A BACKUP PLAN.
SO YOU'RE BACK YOUR BACKUP PLAN.
SAY IT AGAIN. TAKE SOMETHING FROM RESERVE.
TAKE SOMETHING FROM PARKLAND DEDICATION AND TAKE SOMETHING FROM RESERVE.
RIGHT? RIGHT. SO WHAT IF WE GO TO THE POINT OF TAKE FROM THE FIRST BIG RESERVE TAKE FROM THE PARKLAND DEDICATION, LEAVE THE ABLC RESERVE ALONE.
YOU GO BACK TO THE TABLE WITH THEM AND SAY, HEY, NOW WE'RE AT FIFTY THOUSAND WILL THAT WORK CAN WE THEN WE GET CLOSER. NOT TOUCHES ABLC, LIKE JOHN SAYS, LEAVES THAT ALONE.
BUT WE CAN AT LEAST GET MOVING FORWARD.
WHAT BUDGET YEARS ARE WE TALKING ABOUT WORKING THROUGH HERE? OCTOBER ONE. RIGHT?
[00:35:01]
WELL, WE HAVE ALREADY PART OF THE BOND SO WE'RE THERE.WHERE I'M GOING IS, IF THE LIFE OF THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT SPANS FROM ONE BUDGET YEAR INTO ANOTHER BUDGET YEAR AND THEY JUST.
KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD AND GET YOUR DEFICIT OUT OF THE NEXT BUDGET YEAR.
DO WE? WELL, I SEE EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
LIKE IF. HAVE WE BEEN GIVEN A PAYMENT STRUCTURE OF? I MEAN, YEAH, IT'S GOING TO BE THE BOND, WE HAVE.
THE MONEY SITTING IN THE FUND BALANCE OF THE.
AS FAR AS THE CONSTRUCTOR IS CONCERNED, THEIR, OUR PAYMENT STRUCTURE TO THEM.
HE'LL COME UP WITH A. ANTICIPATED TIMELINE AND WHAT HE IS GOING TO BE DOING, HE CAN GIVE US AN IDEA OF WHAT HE'S GOING TO BE BILLING US.
GIVEN EVERYTHING GOES RIGHT, SO.
WHEN'S THE END DATE OF CONSTRUCTION? SUPPOSED? WE THOUGHT IT WAS. WELL, INITIALLY IT WAS.
I MEAN, I REALLY IT DEPENDS ON HOW LONG CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS TAKE WHEN WE ACTUALLY START BREAKING GROUND. SO WE WILL BE PAYING THIS THROUGH MID 2022? YES. YEAH, YEAH.
AND THE CONTRACTORS STATE IS EXPECTED NUMBER OF DAYS HE WAS GOING TO TAKE TO DO IT.
THAT'S A REALLY GREAT QUESTION.
I CAN GO BACK AND FIND THAT, BUT I WOULD THINK MINIMALLY, 14 MONTHS.
IF I RECALL CORRECTLY. RAIN DELAYS.
AND THEN WE STILL GO WITH THE CAVEAT OF TRYING TO AGGRESSIVELY TRY TO GET THE I HATE TO USE THE WORD SPONSOR. BUT THAT'S EXACTLY.
START WORKING THAT HARD. I MEAN, WE CAN.
SO ARE YOU WANTING A MOTION TO AWARD IT TO DL MEACHUM? THAT WILL BE ANOTHER AGENDA ITEM.
WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR IS FOR YOU ALL TO APPROVE THE PROPOSED CUTS AND MOVE FORWARD WITH, YOU KNOW, I GUESS FINDING ADDITIONAL FUNDING MECHANISMS AND THAT YOU ARE OK WITH ALL OF THE OPTIONS THAT WE'VE MENTIONED OR IF YOU WANT TO PROVIDE SPECIFIC GUIDANCE ON HOW YOU WOULD LIKE US TO PURSUE FUNDING.
MAYOR I WOULD RECOMMEND JUST APPROVING THE CUTS AND TELL US COME BACK AND PROVIDE AN UPDATE IN SIX MONTHS ON WHERE WE'RE AT ON EXECUTION OF THE PROJECTS AND FUNDING AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS. SIX MONTHS OR THREE MONTHS? THREE, SIX, NINE.
WE CAN DO ALL OF THEM. I MEAN, WE CAN DO.
I MEAN, WE'LL DO UPDATES TO ABLC AT THE NEXT MEETING AND FOLLOWING MEETINGS.
WE CAN EVERY THREE MONTHS COME BACK AND PROVIDE AN UPDATE.
AND WHO KNOWS, SHE MAY COME BACK AFTER MEETING WITH A CONTRACTOR AND SAY, HEY, THEY THEY'VE CUT 50,000 OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES.
YEAH. MR. MAYOR I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ACCEPT THE PROPOSED CUTS FROM STAFF ON THE LAKESIDE PARK CONSTRUCTION AND ASK THAT THE STAFF COME BACK AND IMMA SAY THREE MONTHS TO GIVE US AN UPDATE ON FUNDING SOURCES AND FINALIZATION.
AND WE'LL COME BACK QUARTERLY, OK.
MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM, MAYOR PRO TEM WRIGHT WAS THAT SECONDED BY GONGORA? ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? THANK YOU, MEGAN. THANK YOU, CHARLOTTE, FOR RACKING YOUR BRAIN.
OH, GO AHEAD. I'D LOVE FOR IT TO BE CAPTURED IN THE MOTION THAT THAT IT WAS A GREAT IDEA OF HOW WE SPLIT THAT OUT IF WE DON'T GET.
TOO MUCH MOVEMENT. WHICH WAS 50 FROM FROM GENERAL FUND, TWENTY EIGHT FROM PARKLAND, AND WE'RE HOPING THAT IT'S AT LEAST 50,000 DOLLARS THAT IS REDUCED DURING THE NEGOTIATION WITH THE CONTRACTOR, BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW IF IF SALES TAX DO GO UP.
BUT IT REALLY DOES TAKE A LOT OF SALES TAX INCREASE TO GET A ABLC WITH ONE HUNDRED TWENTY EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS.
I AGREE. SO. I WOULD RECOMMEND WE JUST GO WITH THE CURRENT MOTION.
AND COME BACK AND PROVIDE UPDATES AND YOU GIVE INSTRUCTION ON HOW WE WANT TO GO.
YEAH, BECAUSE WE'RE NOT MOVING FORWARD UNTIL WE GET THE FINAL PLAN OF THE COSTS.
BUT I AGREE WITH CHARLOTTE THAT WE WANT TO OK, ANY MORE DISCUSSION.
THANK YOU, MS. CHARLOTTE FOR TRYING TO GET US THERE.
ALL RIGHT. HEARING NONE ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
[00:40:01]
AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED SAME SIGN.THAT MOTION CARRIES AND THAT COMPLETES OUR ONE AGENDA ITEM FOR THE JOINT MEETING.
SO I'LL SHOW US A ADJOURNING AT 6:13.
