[7. Discussion and possible action to approve a resolution of the City Council of the City of Angleton, Texas, designating a representative and alternate to the Houston-Galveston Area Council 2023 General Assembly. ]

REPRESENTATIVE AND ALTERNATE TO THE HOUSTON GALVESTON AREA COUNCIL 2023 GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

THAT CAN BE YOU OR OK.

I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THAT. YEAH.

OK WE'RE OK STILL WITH THEIR GOT THEIR TIMELINE FOR HOUSTON HJC.

BUT JUST IF WE MADE THE MOTION TO HAVE THE MAYOR OR MAYOR PRO TEM SERVE, WHOEVER FULFILLS THAT ROLE AS MAYOR PRO TEM WOULD NOT SERVE.

DO WE NEED THE ACTUAL NAME, THE PERSON, OR ARE WE JUST NAMED A POSITION? ON THE RESOLUTION FOR? YEAH. OH, THAT'S RIGHT.

YEAH. OKAY.

BECAUSE I'M JUST SAYING, IF IT WOULD BE THE SAME, IF THAT'S THE HISTORY OF HOW THAT POSITION IS BEING FULFILLED OR POSITIONS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED OR FILLED . THEN.

YEAH, I GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. I WOULDN'T BREAK WITH HISTORY.

I DON'T KNOW WHY WE WOULD OR SHOULD.

SO HOW? I DON'T UNDERSTAND, BECAUSE I'M LOOKING AT A RESOLUTION RIGHT NOW THAT HAS MAYOR PEREZ.

PUT US IN A SMALL PICKLE.

SO ARE YOU SAYING THAT NORMALLY THE ALTERNATIVE, THE ALTERNATE WOULD BE THE MAYOR PRO TEM? SORRY, THAT'S THE REST OF THE EQUATION.

OH, SORRY. YES, SORRY. MISSING THAT PART.

HISTORICALLY, WE'VE DONE MAYOR AND MAYOR PRO TEM TO BE THE DESIGNATE FOR THE BACKUP.

YEP. I'M JUST SAYING, IF IT'S MAYOR OR MAYOR PRO TEM.

WOULDN'T THAT BE TRUE REGARDLESS? LIKE IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO EITHER THE MAYOR OR THE MAYOR PRO TEM THAT THEY COULD NO LONGER SERVE WOULD, NOT THE NEW NEWLY APPOINTED MAYOR AND THE NEWLY APPOINTED MAYOR PRO TEM JUST FULFILL THOSE ROLES? YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

HOWEVER, I DON'T KNOW FOR THIS POSITION FOR A REPRESENTATIVE AND GENERAL ASSEMBLY, IF THEY REQUIRE YOUR RESOLUTION THAT DESIGNATES AN INDIVIDUAL BY NAME OR NOT, I DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE I HAVE..

AND WE'VE ALWAYS JUST DONE IT THIS WAY FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER.

YEAH. SO YOU'RE RIGHT THAT WE JUST SAID MAYOR AND MAYOR PRO TEM WOULD SUFFICE, BUT I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE REQUIREMENTS ARE FOR THE DESIGNATION AS A GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

YEAH. THEN I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ALSO MOVE THIS TO THE NEXT.

MOTION BY COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND, DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN DANIEL, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSE, SAME SIGN.

THAT MOTION CARRIES.

THANK YOU, GUYS AND LADIES.

MOVING RIGHT ALONG, ITEM NUMBER EIGHT.

[8. Discussion and possible action regarding an update on the repairs of two existing homes located at 320 W. Peach St. and 1124 N. Arcola. ]

DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING AN UPDATE ON THE REPAIRS OF TWO EXISTING HOMES LOCATED AT 320 WEST PEACH STREET AND ONE 1124 NORTH ARCOLA.

MR. KYLE. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

UPDATE ON, WE'LL START WITH THE 320 WEST PEACH WAS ONE OF THEM THAT WE GAVE A TIME INTO DECEMBER BASICALLY TO GET THESE HOUSES IN ORDER.

I SPOKE WITH MR. SPEEDIE, THE PROPERTY OWNER.

I THINK THAT WAS FRIDAY.

HE WORKS FOR FEMA.

HE'S IN FLORIDA, SO HE COULDN'T MAKE IT.

ANYWAY, JUST TO GIVE.

JUST I KNOW LAST WEEK THERE HADN'T BEEN A LOT OF MOVEMENT ON THAT HOUSE, AS YOU PROBABLY SEE.

I THINK YOU ALL HAD THE PICTURES.

THEY'VE DONE THE FOUNDATION THAT WAS LIKE A WEEK AGO AND THEY JUST SUBMITTED FOR A ROOFING PERMIT.

WE'RE WAITING ON THE WINDSTORM ON THAT.

SO THAT'S REALLY ALL THAT'S KIND OF HAPPENED ON THAT HOUSE AT 320 WEST PEACH.

STILL A LONG WAY TO GO.

WE'LL SEE WHAT KIND OF PROGRESS THEY MAKE THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS OR SO.

IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT ONE? YES, GO AHEAD, SIR.

WERE THERE ANY GUIDELINES THAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO ATTAIN OR ANY SORT OF.

HE ACTUALLY HE HAD SENT, I THINK, A PUT THAT IN THERE, THAT HE HAD SENT A PLAN.

I KNOW WHEN I SPOKE TO HIM, IT WAS.

KIND OF JUST GIVEN EXCUSES.

BUT HE HAD THE BREAKDOWN THERE AND HE'S OF HIS ONE THROUGH FIVE ON HIS PLAN AND WE'RE REALLY NOT.

[00:10:08]

WE'RE NOWHERE CLOSE ON THAT PLAN.

SO..

YES.

YEAH, BECAUSE LOOKING AT YOUR TIMELINE, THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN JULY 18 SOMETHING OR BE COMPLETED BY AUGUST 27.

NOW WE'RE ONLY LESS THAN FOUR DAYS AWAY FROM THE AUGUST OCTOBER 15TH.

AND YOU'RE SAYING, BY THE LOOKS OF IT.

YEAH, WE HAVEN'T TOUCHED ANYTHING.

WE'RE NOT CLOSE ON NUMBER 4. SO DEFINITELY.

SO THAT'S GOING TO BE A TOUGH I GUESS WE WILL WHEN WE GET TO THAT.

SEE WHAT THE PROPERTY OWNER WOULD LIKE TO.

IF HE'S GOING TO ASK FOR MORE TIME OR WHAT, I'M NOT SURE.

BUT I GUESS WHEN WE GET CLOSER TO SEE, YOU KNOW, HOW WE'RE GOING TO CARRY OUT WITH THE ENFORCING THE SUBSTANDARD STRUCTURE.

OKAY.

IF WE WANT, I MEAN, WE COULD WE CAN DO THAT.

NO PROBLEM OR IF WE JUST WANT TO.

I GUESS WRITE IT OUT TO THE.

WELL, I DO AT LEAST COMMUNICATE WITH HIM AND LET HIM KNOW WE'RE SERIOUS.

WE'RE FIRM ON OUR TIMELINE RIGHT NOW, AND WE NEED TO KNOW WHERE HE'S MOVING, IF HE'S GOING TO FINISH IT OR BECAUSE THEN HE NEEDS TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO POSSIBLY HAPPEN THE NEXT STEP. I DID CONTACT HIM LAST COUNCIL MEETING TOLD HIM IT WASN'T GOING TO BE ON THAT ONE.

WE'LL PUT IT ON THE OTHER ONE AND THEN IT UPDATES THE COUNCIL AND THEN WE KIND OF GOT A COUPLE OF PERMITS SUBMITTED.

SO IT REALLY WASN'T NO MOVEMENT AT ALL ON IT UNTIL THEN.

AND THESE ARE CURRENT PHOTOS, RIGHT? I MEAN.. WEEK AGO.

A WEEK AGO, YEAH, THERE WAS STILL A BIG HOLE IN THE ROOF.

YEAH. OKAY.

I THINK THEY HAD JUST MOWED, WE HAD TO REACH OUT ON THAT ALSO.

SO ANYWAY.

I MEAN, I CAN DEFINITELY REACH OUT TO HIM.

I MEAN, HE'S EASY TO GET ON CELL PHONE RIGHT NOW.

BUT HE SAID HE'S GOING TO BE IN FLORIDA FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

GOTCHA. AND OF COURSE, LIKE CHRIS SAID, IF THE LETTER, THE DOCUMENT ARE WHAT WE'RE TELLING YOU SO HE CAN SEE IT, WE KNOW IT'S RECORD.

WE APPRECIATE IT. YEP, WE CAN DO THAT.

JUST CURIOSITY. WHAT ARE WE GOING WITH THAT? WELL, WEREN'T WE, LIKE, GOING TO JUST PROGRESS ON IF HE DOESN'T MEET THE TIMELINE THAT WE MAY HAVE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH.

THAT'S FINE, I JUST MEANT FROM THE STANDPOINT THAT I WANT GUIDANCE TO HIM.

OH, YEAH. TO LET HIM KNOW WE'RE STILL FIRM ON OUR TIMELINE.

THAT'S ABOUT MY BIGGEST THING, IS WE'RE STILL LOOKING AT THE TIMELINE.

IF YOU CAN GET IT DONE, GET IT DONE, WE'D BE GREAT.

GRATEFUL IF YOU CAN DO THAT.

WE'RE STUCK WITH THAT TIMELINE.

I MEAN, WE'LL CARRY ON AFTER THIS EXPIRES WITH OUR SUBSTANDARD.

NOW, IF YOU ALL WANT TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT, IT'S MY OPINION YOU LET US KNOW.

BUT I JUST WANT GUIDANCE THAT WE'RE STICKING TO THAT TIMELINE AND IT'S NOT DONE.

SEE YOU HERE IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS, I GUESS I DON'T.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU ON THAT ONE, MR. KYLE. THE OTHER ONE IS AT 1124 NORTH ARCOLA.

IT, I'D STOPPED A FEW TIMES.

THE PROPERTY OWNER IS HERE, MR. GOULD. HOPE I SAY THAT RIGHT.

HE HAS, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS, I KNOW HE'S HAD A NEW ROOF.

THAT WAS DONE.

[INAUDIBLE] IT'S ALL THAT ON THERE.

SOME WALL WORK.

THERE WAS SOME HOLES IN THE WALLS.

THE WIND STORMING ON THE STRAPPING AND FLOOR JOIST.

HE IS HERE IF Y'ALL WOULD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR HIM.

HE HAS HAD A I'M NOT SURE OF HIS MEDICAL ISSUE.

BUT I THINK I'M I THINK HE COULD PROBABLY MEET THE IT'S GOING TO BE TOUGH.

I MEAN, DECEMBER IS COMING QUICK.

SO, I MEAN, HE MIGHT COULD SPEAK TO THIS BETTER.

UH. SURE WE WOULD LOVE FOR HIM TO COME UP AND SPEAK.

HE CAN TELL YOU EXACTLY.

YOU CAN COME UP. BOB GOULD AND ROBERT L GOULD.

1124 NORTH ARCOLA.

I'M THANKFUL YOU'RE ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK.

SOME OF THAT'S A LITTLE BIT FRUSTRATING.

[00:15:01]

I'VE HAD FOUR ISSUES HEALTH WISE.

AND IT'S ALL GOOD NOW, THE DOCTOR TODAY SAID, I'M GOOD SO I CAN DO THINGS WITH MY HEART AND ALL.

AND I HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A PROBLEM.

IN AUGUST AT THE MIDDLE OF AUGUST THROUGH THE FIRST WEEK OF SEPTEMBER.

IT RAINS, REMEMBER WE HAD RAIN, THEN IT RAINED SO HARD THEN, THAT MY PROPERTY FLOODED TO THE POINT THAT THE GRASS WAS ALMOST TWO FEET HIGH. SIX INCHES OF WATER STANDING ON THE WHOLE LOT.

I HAD A LOAD OF FINISHED MATERIAL COMING FOR THE INSIDE.

AND SITING FOR THE OUTSIDE.

I HAD TO POSTPONE IT BECAUSE I HAD NOWHERE TO PUT IT.

AND I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION LAST TIME I WAS HERE THAT WE WERE GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT WATER.

AND IT'S NOT HAPPENING.

THERE'S THREE OF US THAT GET IT? I GET IT. THE WORST.

I'M BETWEEN THE TWO HOUSES.

YOU CAN'T FUNCTION. I MEAN, I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE A VEHICLE BACK THERE FOR MATERIALS.

BECAUSE IT'S SO BAD.

I MEAN, I'M WILLING AND I'M PRESSING NOW.

IT'LL START GOING REALLY QUICK.

I DO THAT STUFF FOR A LIVING SO I CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN.

SO I'M THANKFUL FOR THE GRACE YOU'RE SHOWING ME.

BUT I'D LIKE A LITTLE MORE GRACE AND NO WATER.

OKAY. SO WE'LL HAVE STAFF KIND OF LOOK INTO WHAT'S GOING ON OVER THERE.

CAN'T MAKE BIG PROMISES, BUT AT LEAST LET THEM GO LOOK AND SEE WHAT'S GOING ON AND ADDRESS MAYBE WHY WATER'S NOT MOVING OR PONDING IN YOUR AREA.

GIVE ME AN OPINION. YEAH, PROBABLY.

YEAH, BUT [INAUDIBLE] WE'LL GET WITH OUR PUBLIC WORKS AND HAVE THOSE GUYS KIND OF GIVE A CHECK OUT..

IF THEY WOULD TALK TO ME, THEY PROBABLY DON'T REALIZE IT.

THE CATCH BASINS GOING DOWN THE ALLEY ARE GROWN OVER.

THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW THEY'RE THERE.

THEY MOW IT. IT'S JUST.

SO. OKAY, WELL, WE'LL HAVE US PUBLIC WORKS KIND OF GO OVER THERE AND GIVE IT A LOOK, SEE IF.

YEAH. OKAY.

AND THEN JUST TO JUST SO WE KNOW THAT WE'RE ALL IN THE SAME PAGE.

SO YOU THINK IF GOOD WEATHER DAYS AND WE'RE NOT HAVING ISSUES, YOU THE SEVERE TIME LINE COULD BE WORKABLE FOR YOU AND? YES. OK, OK.

I DIDN'T COUNT ON THIS TWO MONTHS WITH MY PHYSICAL, SO.

OKAY. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS, REACH OUT TO KYLE AND THEIR DEPARTMENT.

HE'S BEEN VERY POLITE AND I LIKE WORKING WITH YOU GUYS.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, WE APPRECIATE YOUR..

I WANT TO BE A GOOD RESIDENT.

I WANT TO GET DONE SOMETIMES.

I'M SURE YOU WANT TO MOVE FROM THE BACK QUARTERS TO THE FRONT QUARTERS.

THAT'LL WORK. OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU, SIR. ALL RIGHT.

COUNCIL. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE.

WE APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT.

[9. Presentations by Engineering firms that provided responses to the City of Angleton Request for Qualifications (RFQ) Seeking Professional Engineering Services and Administration Services for an application to the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) for proposed water related infrastructure and water quality improvement projects; to be presented in alphabetical order: by Freese and Nichols, HDR Engineering, and KSA Engineering. ]

THAT MOVES US ON TO ITEM NUMBER EIGHT.

I THINK WE'RE BREAKING A RECORD HERE.

PRESENTATION BY ENGINEERING FIRMS THAT PROVIDED RESPONSES TO THE CITY OF ANGLETON REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS, ALSO KNOWN AS RFQ SEEKING PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES AND ADMINISTRATION SERVICES FOR AN APPLICATION TO THE TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD, ALSO KNOWN AS TWDB FOR PROPOSED WATER RELATED INFRASTRUCTURE AND WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS TO BE PRESENTED IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER BY FREESE NICHOLS, HDR ENGINEERING AND KSA ENGINEERING.

GO AHEAD, SIR.

OKAY.

SO MAYBE BE A LITTLE TIMEKEEPER TO KEEP US EVERYBODY ON THE SAME EVEN PAGE.

OKAY. SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND HAVE THE FIRST TROUPE COME UP AND LET'S HAVE UH FREESE & NICHOLS.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.

I THINK WE'LL BE DEFINITELY QUICKER THAN 10 MINUTES.

WE HAD PLANNED TO GIVE YOU SOME TIME FOR Q&A IF YOU WANTED IT.

SO MY NAME IS CHUCK WOLFE. I'M THE DIVISION MANAGER FOR US IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS.

GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

SO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT FREESE & NICHOLS.

[00:20:02]

SO WE ARE, AS YOU GUYS KNOW, A MUNICIPAL ENGINEERING FIRM.

THAT'S OUR PRIMARY FOCUS.

WE WORK WITH CITIES PRIMARILY AS IT RELATES TO THIS PARTICULAR WORK.

IT'S OUR WATER WASTEWATER CAPABILITIES THAT MATTER.

SO WE'VE GOT ABOUT 1000 EMPLOYEES ACROSS THE COMPANY, 800 OF WHICH ARE IN TEXAS.

WE'RE A TEXAS BASED FIRM, ABOUT 175 STAFF IN THE SOUTHEAST TEXAS AREA.

BUT WE LEAD OUR WATER WASTEWATER PLANNING AND OUR WATER WASTEWATER TREATMENT DESIGN, AS WELL AS MOST OF OUR WATER TRANSMISSION UTILITIES WORK OUT OF OUR PEARLAND OFFICE.

SO OUR TECHNICAL STAFF THAT WOULD BE WORKING ON THIS ARE JUST UP THE ROAD IN PEARLAND.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO IS WE TRY TO BACK UP OUR LOCAL TEAMS WITH TECHNICAL EXPERTS IN THE SUBJECT MATTER THAT CAN HELP PROVIDE THE BEST SERVICE TO OUR CLIENTS.

SO ONE OF THOSE IS MARK EVANS WE HAVE HERE TONIGHT.

HE'S OUR FUNDING EXPERT BRINGS ALMOST A DECADE OF EXPERIENCE WITH TWDB.

OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS HE'S BEEN INVOLVED IN 30 PROJECTS AND HE'S ACCESSED MORE THAN $600 MILLION FOR OUR CLIENTS.

SO I'M GOING TO HAVE HIM TAKE YOU THROUGH THIS THE NEXT AT LEAST A FEW PROJECTS ON THE NEXT SLIDE THAT WE'RE ALSO INCLUDED IN THE SOQ AND THEN WE CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. SO MARK.

AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CHUCK AND COUNCIL MEMBERS, CITY MANAGER, MAYOR.

I DO WANT TO CORRECT CHUCK ON ONE ITEM.

I'VE GOT ABOUT 13 YEARS OVER A DECADE NOW.

WHEN YOU COUNT MY NINE YEARS AT THE WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD AND MY FOUR YEARS AT FREESE & NICHOLS.

SO NEXT SLIDE.

I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OF PROJECTS HERE.

YOU CAN JUST BARELY SEE THEM.

I THINK I REMEMBER EXACTLY WHICH ONES WE WERE GOING TO TALK TO THERE.

WE HAD SUBMITTED A NUMBER OF PROJECTS THAT WE HAD WORKED ON IN THE PROPOSAL, AND WE'VE LISTED A FAIR NUMBER OF THEM HERE AS WELL.

AND THE THREE I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT.

SO FIRST OF ALL, CITY OF SEGUIN.

CITY OF SEGUIN IS UNDERGOING A MAJOR WASTEWATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS.

SO THEY ARE ENLARGING ONE TREATMENT PLANT, THEY'RE DECOMMISSIONING ANOTHER, CREATING A LIFT STATION AND CREATING AN INTERCEPTOR BETWEEN THE TWO TO BRING THE FLOWS FROM DOWNTOWN OUT TO THE THE NEWER WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.

THE CITY HAD ALREADY HIRED AN ENGINEER, BUT THEY WANTED HELP WITH WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD FUNDING, AND THEY HAD FOUND OUT THAT I HAD BEEN AT THE BOARD.

I'VE BEEN AT FREESE NICHOLS DOING THIS SORT OF THING AND HAD AN EXPERTISE IN APPLICATIONS AND FUNDING FOR PROGRAM COMPLIANCE.

THAT APPLICATION RESULTED IN $197 MILLION WASTEWATER FUNDING THROUGH THE CLEAN WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND.

SO THEY ARE IN THE MIDDLE RIGHT NOW PLANNING AND DESIGN OF THAT PROJECT AND MOVING FORWARD.

ANOTHER ONE, AN OLD TIME CLIENT OF FREESE NICHOLS, UP IN NORTH TEXAS CITY OF ALEDO.

WE HAVE DONE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT EXPANSION WORK FOR THEM, CURRENTLY WORKING ON.

WE'RE ABOUT READY TO START CONSTRUCTION ON A LIFT STATION AND INTERCEPTOR PROJECT FEEDING INTO THE TREATMENT PLANT.

WE HAVE DONE FUNDING THROUGH THE WASTEWATER CLEAN WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND PROGRAM AT THE WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD FOR THEIR WASTEWATER SYSTEM OVER TIME.

THAT ONE RESULTED IN ABOUT A LITTLE OVER $8 MILLION OR EXCUSE ME, A LITTLE OVER $12 MILLION TOTAL BETWEEN TREATMENT PLANT EXPANSION, INTERCEPTOR PROJECT AND LIVE STATION. THE SERVICES THAT I PROVIDE OR PRE PRE-APPLICATION APPLICATION SERVICES, AS WELL AS THE COORDINATION WITH THE AGENCY AND THE CITY, THEIR BOND COUNCIL, THEIR FINANCIAL ADVISOR, CLOSING SERVICES, AS WELL AS THE POST-CLOSING SERVICES ON COMPLIANCE WITH PROGRAMS SUCH AS DAVIS BACON, AMERICAN IRON AND STEEL, SUBMITTING THE DRAW REQUESTS WHICH THE BOARDS IN THESE PROGRAMS, THEY'RE CALLED OUTLAY REPORTS.

I'VE DONE HUNDREDS OF THOSE THINGS.

THE LAST ONE IS CITY OF CLEBURNE UP IN SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS, OR NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS.

WE ARE DOING A TREATMENT PLANT EXPANSION AND REUSE PROJECT THERE, SO THEY ARE GREATLY EXPANDING THEIR REUSE CAPABILITIES AND THAT PLANT EXPANSION IS ALSO FEEDING INTO A PUMP STATION AND A REUSE DELIVERY LINE.

IT'LL BE DIRECT POTABLE OR EXCUSE ME, INDIRECT POTABLE, AND THEN DIRECT NON-POTABLE USE FOR THE WASTEWATER THAT RESULTED IN A $42 MILLION AWARD FROM THE WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD AND THE CLEAN WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND AS WELL, INCLUDING A $1 MILLION GRANT FOR GREEN.

SO GREEN AND THE ESSER PROGRAM IS 100% ELIGIBLE FOR A LOAN PRINCIPAL FORGIVENESS.

SO THOSE ARE JUST THREE OF THOSE PROJECTS OFF OF THIS LIST AND THE LIST WE PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED.

SO YES, AT THIS POINT WE WILL ENTERTAIN ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. COUNCIL YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THESE GENTLEMEN? SO I JUST HAD 1 SMALL QUICK QUESTION.

SO MY QUESTION IS, IS IT'S TWDB, THE WATERBOARD, DO Y"ALL GO AND LIKE ONCE THE PROJECT IS IDENTIFIED, YOU'RE THE GUYS THAT GO AND ASK THEM WHAT THEY WILL FUND, WHERE THE YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THIS IS NEW TO ME I'M NOT VERY FAMILIAR WITH I KNOW IT'S A FUNDING SOURCE, BUT YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THERE'S SOME SORT OF LIMIT SOMEWHERE.

[00:25:01]

SO DO YOU ALL FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH THEY LIMIT US OR WHAT'S AVAILABLE WITH THOSE FOLKS? SO PRIMARILY WITH THE WATER DEVELOPMENT WORD FUNDING PROGRAMS BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF SUPPLY THEY HAD VERSUS THE DEMAND, THEY REALLY DON'T TELL YOU WHAT YOU CAN APPLY FOR. THEY ASK YOU TO TELL THEM WHAT YOU NEED.

AND ESPECIALLY NOW WITH THE NOVEMBER LAST YEAR APPROVAL OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT AND JOBS ACT, THOSE PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN FLOODED WITH ALL KINDS OF MONEY, BILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT ARE COMING TO THE STATE LITERALLY OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.

SO THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WILL PROBABLY SPUR A LITTLE BIT MORE COMPETITION AND A LITTLE BIT MORE DEMAND.

BUT FOR THE MOST PART, THE BOARD IS GOING TO LITERALLY SAY, WHAT IS YOUR NEED, WHAT'S YOUR PROJECT? WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SOLVE AND WHAT'S THE COST OF THAT? AND GENERALLY THEY HAVE THE FUNDS TO APPROVE THAT.

SO JUST.

SO I DIDN'T TELL YOU THE TIMELINE TO SUBMIT THE APPLICATION IS MARCH.

SO WHAT WE DO IS TAKE OUR $400 MILLION CIP LISTS, COME BACK AND SOCIALIZE THAT WITH YOU ALL, FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT WHAT THE NEED IS AND WHAT THE WHERE WE NEED TO GO.

AND THAT'S WHAT THEY WOULD SUBMIT.

AND SO THE PROCESS IS.

GENERALLY THAT THEY'LL RANK US ONE TO HOWEVER MANY APPLICANTS, AND THEY'LL TELL US WHETHER WE GET LOW INTEREST RATE LOANS, WHETHER WE GET GRANTS OR THEY GET LOAN FORGIVENESS, THOSE KIND OF THINGS.

AND SO IT WILL BE A QUICK CONVERSATION CONSIDERING WE ONLY HAVE, I THINK, TWO COUNCIL MEETINGS IN NOVEMBER OR NOVEMBER OR DECEMBER OR ONE IN EACH, I'M SORRY TO KIND OF RANK THAT SO THEY CAN GET AN APPLICATION TOGETHER, WHOEVER THE ORGANIZATION IS, AND SUBMIT THAT ON OUR BEHALF.

AND THEN WE HAVE THOSE DECISIONS MAKE LIKE, OH YEAH, THEY APPROVED IT AND THIS IS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

AND THEN WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PAY FOR IT.

OKAY, GREAT.

MR. MAYOR, IF I CAN. YES.

ANY OF THE FIRMS THAT YOU'RE TALKING TO TONIGHT ARE GOING TO DO THE BEST THEY CAN TO PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD IN THAT.

BUT WE DO TRY TO LOOK AT IT PROGRAMMATICALLY AND MAKE SURE WE CAN BUILD OUT THE PROGRAM SO THAT IT'S GOING TO IT'S GOING TO GET YOU THE MOST ACCESS TO THE MONEY AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN.

GOTCHA. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I KNOW THEY GOT A LITTLE BIT OF TIME LEFT, SO.

BUT IF Y'ALL HAVE ANYTHING ELSE Y'ALL WANT TO DISCUSS, FEEL FREE TO MAXIMIZE YOUR TIME.

IF YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE ANYTHING.

NO WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE WORKING WITH THE CITY OF ANGLETON.

WE'VE HAD SOME GREAT SUCCESS ON PRIOR PROJECTS WE'VE WORKED WITH WITH YOU GUYS ON AND LOOKING FORWARD TO SUPPORT IN ANY WAY WE CAN.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU.

GENERALLY, NO, BUT GENERALLY, WE DON'T THINK IT'S ONLY THE PEOPLE THAT ARE FOR THIS.

BUT I WILL LET YOU GO AHEAD AND COME ON UP SINCE WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME LEFT.

GO AHEAD, SIR. JUST COME ON UP BECAUSE WE NEED IT ON THE RECORD.

YOU STATE YOUR NAME. MY NAME IS KEITH MCDONALD.

609 NARITA.

MY QUESTION. ARE YOU GENTLEMEN IN CHARGE OF OUR WATER SYSTEM NOW? OH, NO, SIR. NO, NO, SIR.

NO. THIS IS GOING TO BE FOR FUTURE WORK.

THAT WILL HAPPEN. THEY'LL BE MORE LIKE A CONSULTANT WORKING IN TANDEM WITH US.

OKAY, WELL, THEN MY QUESTION IS IRRELEVANT.

IF YOU. IF YOU WANT TO STEP OUT, YOU CAN TALK TO JEFF.

HE'S OUR PUBLIC WORKS GENTLEMAN.

SORRY, JEFF, WHY DON'T YOU STEP OUT FOR A MINUTE? YEAH. WON'T YOU ALL GO STEP OUTSIDE? OKAY. HE'S IN TROUBLE.

ALL RIGHTY. THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN FROM FREESE & NICHOLS.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE.

WE ALWAYS HAVE TO KIND OF DODGE AND BE A LITTLE FLUID HERE.

HDR ENGINEERING.

COME ON UP, GENTLEMEN.

I WANT TO THANK COUNCIL FOR GIVING US THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT ON THIS IMPORTANT PROJECT.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT THE PROJECT HADN'T STARTED NOW.

THIS IS PART OF A LARGER, LARGER PROCESS THAT BEGAN BACK IN 2009, 2015, WHEN WE STARTED DOING THE UTILITY MASTERPLAN.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH STAFF ON IDENTIFYING ISSUES ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE CITY, FROM THE SIZES, WATER DEMANDS, WHERE THE WATER IS GOING TO COME FROM, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING FROM STUDIES.

I REMEMBER CHRIS, HE WAS THE ONE THAT PUT TOGETHER ALL THE STATION DESIGN STUDIES, ALSO THE TREATMENT PLANT REVIEW OF THE ENTIRE TREATMENT PLANT.

AND JOE MOORE IS WORKING WITH ME RIGHT NOW ON A TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD PROJECT FOR THE CITY OF LAPORTE.

CURRENTLY, WE ARE WORKING ON $11 MILLION STATION CONSOLIDATION, SO WE DO HAVE THE EXPERIENCE WITH THE SAME EXACT TEAM WE'RE BRINGING TO Y'ALL ON GETTING THIS THROUGH.

WE'RE IN THE BID PHASE RIGHT NOW.

SO WITH THAT, I WANT TO KIND OF TALK ABOUT THE ACTUAL PROCESS.

FIRST, WE'RE IN REGION, THE EAST REGION, REGION H.

THE CONTACT FOR THE IS NANCY RICHARDS.

[00:30:01]

WE'VE DISCUSSED HER ABOUT ALL THE FUTURE UPCOMING.

CHRIS IS RIGHT. THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTALS IS THE 1ST OF MARCH.

GOING THROUGH HERE.

AS YOU CAN SEE, WE'VE DONE A LOT OF PROJECTS IN THIS AREA.

THIS IS WHAT WE DO. THIS IS WHAT WE'RE KNOWN FOR.

WE'RE A MUNICIPAL ENGINEERING FIRM.

WE'VE DONE OVER 400 PROJECTS HERE IN THE HOUSTON METRO AREA, 16 TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARDS PROJECTS HERE IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS.

YOU CAN SEE THE COMMUNITIES THAT WE'VE WORKED FOR, THE COMMUNITIES IN THE RED WERE ACTUALLY GRANT PROJECTS, WHETHER IT BE STATE REVOLVING FUNDS, CLEAN WATER OR DRINKING WATER AND ALSO SWIFT.

SO LET'S KIND OF GO OVER THE PROCESS.

I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO FAR INTO THE WEEDS IN HERE BECAUSE YOU'VE HAD THIS PRESENTATION.

SO I DON'T WANT TO JUST GO ON REGURGITATE EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE READ.

SO I WANT TO TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE.

AGAIN, LIKE I SAID, WE'VE GOT SO MUCH EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE BEING THE CITY ENGINEER FOR OVER TEN YEARS IN THESE PROJECTS, WE'RE GOING TO HIT THE GROUND RUNNING.

NO ONE KNOWS YOUR SYSTEM BETTER THAN WE DO.

THE APPLICATION IS A SMALL PORTION OF THE PROJECT AND MRS. RICHARD'S TEAM IS THERE TO HELP GUIDE YOU THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

I SPOKE WITH HER YESTERDAY.

THEY'VE BEEN HELPING US WITH THE CITY OF LAPORTE.

JOE. CORRECT.

AND SO LIKE JOHN MENTIONED, I'M WORKING ON A WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD FUNDED PROJECT FOR THE CITY OF LAPORTE.

IT'S THE CONSOLIDATION OF NINE STATIONS INTO ONE REGIONAL LIFT STATION ESTIMATED AROUND $11 MILLION.

AND I WORK WITH THE WATER DEVELOPMENT WORDS LUCILLE AREA THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROJECT SUBMITTAL PROCESS THAT INCLUDED FEASIBILITY AND ROUTING ANALYSIS, ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY DOCUMENTATION, PRELIMINARY AND FINAL ENGINEERING DESIGN.

AND WE'RE IN THE BID PHASE NOW.

AND SO I DO HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WORK IN GUIDING PROJECTS THROUGH THE WATER BOARD PROCESS.

SO I'M SAYING THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF A SMALL PORTION, OVERALL PORTION.

YOU STILL GOT THE DESIGN PHASE, YOU STILL GOT THE BIDDING PHASE, YOU STILL GOT THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT PHASE.

IT'S NOT JUST THE APPLICATION THAT NEEDS TO BE FOCUSED IN ON.

BUT WITH THAT SAID, I CAN GO THROUGH ALL THE ACRONYMS. WE CAN TALK ABOUT THE OLLA OR THE PIFF OR THE SWIFT OR WHATEVER WE WANT, AND WE'VE GOT ALL THAT INFORMATION ON IT.

BUT I WANT TO FOCUS IN ON A COUPLE OF ITEMS. ONE THAT WE NEED TO REALLY FOCUS IN ON IS GOING TO BE THE ENVIRONMENTAL PHASE.

MORE THAN LIKELY, THIS IS GOING TO BE STATE REVOLVING FUND PROJECT, WHICH IS GOING TO BE MONITORED BY THE EPA.

THE EPA IS GOING TO BE THE ONE THAT'S GOING TO BE THE ONES ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR IT.

AND WITH THAT, THAT MEANS IT'S GOING TO BE A FEDERAL PROJECT, FEDERAL FUNDING.

SO THAT MEANS YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO OUT AND GET A NEPA.

SO THE ENVIRONMENTAL PHASE IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.

YOU'RE GOING TO TRY TO GET A CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION TO WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO ANY FURTHER, AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL STOP AT THAT POINT.

THAT IS THE PROCESS THAT YOU WANT TO FOLLOW.

THAT IS THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY OF DOING IT.

SO IT'S ALL OF HOW YOU APPLY, HOW THE APPLICATION OF WHAT YOU SET GOING IN THERE.

THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE REALLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS THE FINANCIAL PROCESS.

IT'S NOT JUST THE ENGINEERING DESIGN, IT'S THE FINANCIAL PROCESS.

THE FINANCIAL PROCESS IS THE CITY IS ALSO GOING TO HAVE TO SUBMIT AN AUDIT, THE MOST RECENT AUDIT OF WHAT THE CITY IS, WHERE ITS ASSETS ARE, WHAT WHERE IT'S NOT.

THEY'LL ALSO TAKE A LOOK AT WE'LL HAVE TO BRING IN AND WE HAVE ON OUR TEAM ONE OF THE BEST ONES IN THE STATE, FINANCIAL AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS TO COME IN AND BASICALLY COME AND LOOK AT WHAT IS THE CITY GOING TO HAVE TO DO TO BE ABLE TO FUND THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED. SO WE NEED TO NOT ONLY LOOK AT WHAT THE CITY CAN HOLD, BUT WHAT EFFECTS IS THAT GOING TO HAVE ON THE RESIDENTS? YOU KNOW, THESE RESIDENTS HERE IN THESE TOWN HAVE BEEN HERE FOR A WHILE.

SOME OF THEM ARE FIXED INCOME.

SO WHAT DOES THIS INCREASE IS GOING TO DO? YOU KNOW, IT'S ONE THING TO SAY KATIE BAR THE DOOR.

WE'RE GOING OUT FOR EVERYTHING OF THE 400 MILLION CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT.

IT'S ANOTHER THING TO REALLY TAKE A LOOK AT THE IMPACT THAT'S HAPPENING ON ITS RESIDENTS.

YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

MOVING ON, WE WANT TO TALK MORE ABOUT THE DESIGN, THE DESIGN OF IT.

WE'VE PUT TOGETHER THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS.

WE PUT THE $4 MILLION PROJECT TOGETHER.

I KNOW THAT SYSTEM BETTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE.

THERE'S NO ONE HERE THAT KNOWS THAT SYSTEM BETTER THAN ME, OTHER THAN MAYBE JEFF SIFFORD AND HECTOR RENTERIA.

I'VE BEEN HERE, I'VE DONE THAT. I'VE LIVED IT FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS, SO I KNOW THE INS AND OUTS.

BIDDING PHASE, WE'VE CONSTRUCTED THE BIDDING DOCUMENTS.

THE CITY ATTORNEY'S ALREADY DONE IT.

IT'S OUR FRONT END DOCUMENTS.

HE'S REVIEWED IT. IT'S BEEN BLESSED.

IT'S BEEN SUCCESSFUL. WE'VE DONE FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS 70 PROJECTS SUCCESSFULLY COME THROUGH IN THAT PROCESS.

AND THEN WE'VE ALSO HAVE A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CITY'S INSPECTION STAFF WITH ANDY, ANDY WILL BE THE ONE THAT WILL BE DOING THE INSPECTION ON THIS PROJECT.

SO WE'VE ALREADY GOT THAT GROWTH, THAT KNOWLEDGE OF UNDERSTANDING.

ANDY'S GOT MY PHONE NUMBER.

SO HE CALLS ME ON SATURDAY MORNINGS OR FRIDAY NIGHTS TO ASK ME QUESTIONS.

IT'S NOT A PROBLEM. WE'VE GOT THAT REPERTOIRE BETWEEN US TOO.

SO IT'S REALLY KIND OF AN ALL AROUND THING.

SO ONCE YOU GET WHAT THEY CALL THE PAD OR THE BASICALLY THE PLAN ACQUISITION DESIGN, AGAIN, THERE'S ACRONYMS ALL OVER THIS PLACE FOR THIS THING.

AND THERE IS A LOT OF INSTRUCTIONS ON THE ON THE ACTUAL SUBMITTAL.

AND LIKE I SAID, NANCY AND HER TEAM ARE VERY HIGHLY TRAINED AND THAT'S HER JOB, IS TO GET IT THROUGH THE PROCESS TO HELP US OUT.

[00:35:07]

SO WITH THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS KIND OF KIND OF REALLY LOOKING AT WE KNOW THE CITY, WE'RE VESTED IN THIS CITY.

I LIVE IN THE CITY.

I COME SHOPPING, I DO EVERYTHING.

AND I'VE GOT MORE. [INAUDIBLE] YEAH, WELL, I COME AND DO ALL MY SHOPPING.

THIS IS MY COMMUNITY.

SO THIS IS SOMETHING REALLY BIG FOR US.

AND WE WANT TO KEEP THAT PARTNERSHIP GOING.

WE'VE BEEN PARTNERS WITH THE CITY OF ANGLETON FOR TEN YEARS ON EVERYTHING FROM THE HEART ATTACKS OR THE HEART OF CHRISTMAS TO TO THE CLEAN IN THE SPRING AND FALL.

SO WE'RE VERY COMMITTED.

NO ONE HAS AS MUCH OR HAS MUCH TO LOSE FOR NOT PERFORMING AT THE UPPER HIGHER LEVEL THAT WE'VE PROVIDED AND ALWAYS HAVE DONE THAN WE DO.

WITH THAT, I GUESS I'M KIND OF GETTING CLOSE.

I IMAGINE SO.

I GOT 3 MINUTES. 3 MINUTES.

THANK YOU, MR. PETERSON.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR HDR AND I WOULD HAVE HAD THE SAME QUESTIONS FROM YOU GUYS, I'M SURE I GET THE SAME ANSWER ABOUT HOW THAT WHOLE PROCESS WORKS.

SO I APPRECIATE THOSE GUYS STARTING IT OFF FOR US.

AND I GUESS MY ONE QUESTION WOULD BE IS OUT OF Y'ALL'S TWDB WHAT'S YOUR SUCCESS RATE ON ACTUALLY GETTING SECURING FUNDING ON THE PROJECTS THAT Y'ALL HAVE DONE? 100%, 80%, 50%, 30%.

IT'S ALL DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT'S AVAILABLE AT THAT YEAR.

AND AGAIN, YOU WILL WORK WITH, WITH THE STAFF ON PROVIDING INFORMATION AND GUIDANCE AS TO WHICH ONE DO WE WANT TO GO TO LIKE A SWIFT FUND.

THE SWIFT FUND IS TYPICALLY FOR WATER SOURCE MONEY.

ALL RIGHT. SO WE COULD LOOK AT POSSIBLY DOING THE TRANSMISSION MAIN BETWEEN HENDERSON AND SHENANGO WOULD BE A GOOD ONE.

ALSO, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO DO WHAT THEY CALL FORGIVENESS, PRINCIPAL FORGIVENESS BECAUSE OF ALL THE BREAKS THAT YOU'VE HAD IN WATER, IN THE WATER LINES THIS YEAR, YOU'VE LOST A LOT OF WATER. SO WATER CONSERVATION, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GO FOR THE PRINCIPAL FORGIVENESS, WHICH WOULD PROVIDE YOU A 15% SAVINGS TO THE DEBT WHICH YOU HAVE.

THEY'LL FORGIVE THAT 15%.

SO THERE'S THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO TO MAKE IT EASIER OR MAKE IT BETTER.

YOU KNOW, ALSO, IF WE COULD FIND OUT IF WE'RE BY TAKING THE AVERAGE MEAN INCOME AT THE CITY, IF WE CAN IDENTIFY THAT WE'RE AT 50, WE'RE AT 75% OF THE STATE AVERAGE, THE COMMUNITY IS CONSIDERED DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITY.

AT THAT POINT, YOU CAN GET UP TO 70% PRINCIPAL FORGIVENESS.

SO THERE'S THERE'S INS AND OUTS THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT CAN REALLY HELP THE COMMUNITY GO AND LESSEN THE BURDEN ON THE COMMUNITY AND THE TAXPAYERS.

AND AGAIN, YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF IT AND SEE WHAT THAT IMPACT IS GOING TO BE TO THE AVERAGE PERSON AND UNDERSTAND WHAT REALLY IT IS.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, JOHN.

ANYBODY ELSE HAVE A QUESTION? IF NOT, THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN, AND WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

OUR THIRD ONE IS KSA ENGINEERING.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, COME ON UP.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, CITY MANAGER, STAFF.

MY NAME IS JOHN REEDY. I'M THE MUNICIPAL PRACTICE DIRECTOR FOR KSA, AND I'M HAPPY TO SAY THAT WE'VE BEEN IN BUSINESS SINCE 1978, FOCUSING SOLELY ON MUNICIPAL CLIENTS.

WE ARE A TEXAS FIRM.

WE HAVE NINE OFFICES, INCLUDING ONE IN NEARBY SUGARLAND.

WE DO FOCUS EXCLUSIVELY ON SMALL TO MEDIUM SIZED CITIES, RANGING FROM 1000 TO 30000 POPULATION, AND WE HELP THEM FROM THE VERY INITIAL STAGES OF PLANNING AND OBTAINING FUNDING THROUGH DESIGN, BIDDING, CONSTRUCTION AND STARTUP.

THAT'S OUR SPECIALTY, WORKING WITH CITIES OF SIZE LIKE YOURS.

WE DO A LOT OF WORK OBTAINING FUNDING THROUGH TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD, SUBMITTING THOSE PIFFS BY THE BEGINNING OF MARCH PROJECT INFORMATION FORMS. WE USUALLY DO BETWEEN FIVE AND TEN A YEAR FOR OUR CLIENTS.

THIS YEAR, AS ONE OF OUR COMPATRIOTS SAID, THIS WAS A POPULAR YEAR BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH MONEY AVAILABLE, THERE'S ALSO SO MUCH COMPETITION.

SO WE SUBMITTED, I THINK, 12 SO FAR THIS YEAR AND THEY DO.

IT'S A MULTIPLE PHASE PROCESS WHERE THEY WILL DO AN INITIAL RANKING, PUT OUT A LIST FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.

THEN YOU CAN PROVIDE COMMENTS AND CLARIFICATIONS TO YOUR APPLICATIONS.

MAYBE, MAYBE THE POINT YOU WERE TRYING TO MAKE DIDN'T COME ACROSS AND YOU GET TO GET THEM TO RECONSIDER THINGS.

SO WE GOT ONE ON THE LIST INITIALLY.

WE GOT THREE MORE AFTER THAT PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD, AND WE THINK WE HAVE AT LEAST FOUR MORE COMING IN THE FINAL LIST THAT WILL COME OUT SOON.

SO WE THINK WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD RATE OF SUCCESS FOR THOSE CLIENTS.

WE'RE ALSO EXPERIENCED IN OTHER FUNDING SOURCES IF NEEDED, BUT WE KNOW THE FOCUS HERE IS ON T.W.

DB. SO TONIGHT WITH ME, WE HAVE OUR PROJECT MANAGER, PROPOSED PROJECT MANAGER ANGIE SANCHEZ HERE FROM KATIE AND SANDY KANTNER, OUR SENIOR ENGINEER FROM THE SUGARLAND AREA.

AND THEY'RE GOING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT A LITTLE BIT MORE ON OUR TEAM AND ABOUT THAT PIFF PROCESS AND THE THINGS THAT WE FOCUS ON TO MAXIMIZE THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCCESS IN GETTING FUNDING FOR OUR SMALL TO MEDIUM CLIENTS.

[00:40:02]

SO I'LL TURN IT OVER TO KATIE.

THANKS, JOHN, AND THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR HAVING US TONIGHT.

WE'RE EXCITED TO BE HERE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT OUR EXPERIENCE AND OUR SUCCESS RATE, WORKING WITH TWDB AND SECURING FUNDS FOR MUNICIPALITIES SUCH AS ANGLETON.

SO, CAN WE GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, OR DO I HAVE IT? I'M SORRY. GOTCHA.

MIC] THAT'S OKAY.

AND ON THAT SLIDE AS WELL.

170 TOTAL TWDB PROJECTS AND 25 IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, THE KSA.

SO KSA'S MOTTO IS WE BUILD PEOPLE WHO BUILD THE FUTURE AND WE PRETTY MUCH LOVE TO DO ANYTHING TO DO WITH BUILDING.

SO THAT IS OUR CORE TEAM, THAT IS OUR PROFESSIONAL TEAM AND OUR SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS.

THERE'S TEN OF THOSE LISTED THERE.

OF COURSE, JOHN REEDY IS HERE TONIGHT MYSELF AND THEN OUR SENIOR ENGINEER, SANDY KANTNER.

WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT IN THE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE ON THAT SLIDE, THERE'S OVER 220 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WORKING ON MUNICIPAL PROJECTS, JUST LIKE THE ONES THAT WE WOULD BE DOING FOR THE CITY OF ANGLETON.

AND I'VE GOT TO HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OF PEOPLE ON THAT SLIDE.

JOHN C YOUNG, HE SHOWS 46 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN MUNICIPAL.

WELL, 44 OF THOSE YEARS HE'S SPENT WITH US AT KSA.

SO I'D HAVE TO SAY JOHN C HAS PROBABLY WORN JUST ABOUT EVERY HAT AT KSA POSSIBLE, INCLUDING OUR FORMER, HE WAS OUR FORMER PRESIDENT AND CEO, BUT HE'S HUNG AROUND AND HE'S STILL HAVING FUN WITH US ON MUNICIPAL PROJECTS.

LET'S SEE. AND THE NEXT I WANT TO INTRODUCE OUR SENIOR PROJECT ENGINEER AND THAT SANDY KANTNER, SHE IS IN OUR SUGARLAND OFFICE.

AND OUT OF THOSE 12 PIFFS THAT JOHN HAD TALKED ABOUT THAT WE HAD SUBMITTED THIS YEAR, SHE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR TWO OF THOSE AND THOSE ARE FOR ANGLETON IS NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR CITY OF DANBURY.

SO I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE SANDY.

HELLO. SANDY KANTNER OUT OF THE SUGAR LAND OFFICE.

I'D BE SERVING AS YOUR PROJECT ENGINEER ON THIS.

I WAS RESPONSIBLE AND REALLY PRIVILEGED TO SUBMIT TO PIFFS FOR THE CITY OF DANBURY, RIGHT NEXT DOOR, ONE FOR CLEAN WATER AND ONE FOR DRINKING WATER.

TOTAL THAT WE'VE SUBMITTED FOR IS ABOUT $15 MILLION.

UNFORTUNATELY, THEY WERE NOT SELECTED ON THE FIRST ROUND, BUT WE'RE EXPECTING THAT THEY WILL BE SELECTED SOON FOR FUNDING FOR THEIR PROJECTS.

THEY'VE REQUESTED A WIDE VARIETY OF THINGS, AND UNLIKE THE CITY OF ANGLETON, THEY WERE NOT QUITE ORGANIZED ENOUGH TO HAVE A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN.

SO WE STARTED WITH THEM ON A VERY RAPID PACE, STARTED WITH THEM IN JANUARY AND SUBMITTED IN MARCH, INCLUDING DEVELOPING A PLAN ON WHAT THEY NEEDED TO FUND THE EXPENSES OF THOSE THINGS AND GETTING IT SUBMITTED.

SO IT WAS A VERY RAPID PACE TO GET IT DONE, BUT WE DID GET IT DONE.

THEY RECEIVED PRETTY DECENT SCORES, BUT THE INITIAL PROJECT LIST THAT WAS ACCEPTED HAD A LOT OF VERY LARGE PROJECTS ON IT THAT ATTRACTED A LOT OF THE FUNDING.

SO. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? ONE MORE SLIDE. DO I PUSH THE BUTTON? OKAY.

JUST A NUMBER OF OUR CLIENTS WHO WHO HAVE HAD THE NEEDS THAT WE'RE ABLE TO WORK WITH THEM AND GET THEM THE FUNDING AND DELIVER THE ENTIRE PROJECT.

SO WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THAT RECORD.

WE THINK WE HAVE A GOOD IDEA OF THE THINGS WE NEED TO EMPHASIZE, BECAUSE ANTICIPATING YOUR QUESTION, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO GET THE SAME ONE.

YOU HAVE TO DIFFERENTIATE YOURSELF FROM THE OTHER APPLICANTS AND THAT'S IN THE WAYS OF DEMONSTRATING NEED COULD BE THROUGH DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS, COULD BE THROUGH THE AND COPPER REPLACEMENT, SEPARATE FUNDING THEY HAVE, IT COULD BE THROUGH GREEN PRACTICES.

SO THERE'S DIFFERENT WAYS YOU CAN EMPHASIZE IT.

WE DON'T THINK THAT, UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS BECAUSE 75% OF THE STATE AVERAGE WOULD BE 46,000, ACCORDING TO THE DATA WE SAW.

AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD INCOME IN ANGLETON SOMEWHERE AROUND 55.

SO BUT THAT'S TYPICAL.

WE CAN FOCUS ON OTHER AREAS TO GET THE POINTS YOU NEED TO GET YOUR HIGHER RANK IN THE IN THE ASSESSMENT.

AND WE ALSO WANT TO ADD GUYS OR YEAH, I FORGOT TO MENTION ALSO THAT KSA IS ON CONTRACT TO DO YOUR LEAD SERVICE LINE INVENTORY.

SO WE'RE JOHN WAS MENTIONING LEAD SERVICE.

THERE'S ACTUALLY ANOTHER FUNDING STREAM WE BELIEVE IS COMING DOWN TO FUND THOSE PROJECTS AS WELL.

[00:45:04]

SO WE WOULD BE ABLE TO ALSO TRY AND GO FOR THAT MONEY.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANK Y'ALL.

COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS? SO I'LL JUST ADD, I THINK IN YOUR I GOT A LOT OF ENGINEERS, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG HERE, BUT I THINK YOU APPLY AND GET ON, YOU GET LISTED AND THEN YOU STAY ON THE LIST. AND SO THEY MAY FUND PROJECTS ONE THROUGH 25 AND YOUR NUMBER 26.

SO IF MONEY'S OPEN UP OR ADDITIONAL FUNDING, WHATEVER, AND THEN YOU STAY ON THAT LIST, RIGHT? YEAH. AND THE LIST TO YOUR POINT VERSUS THAT, IT'S THEN YOU'RE INVITED TO APPLY AND YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH A PROCESS THAT ONE OF OUR COMPETITORS TALKED ABOUT, A VERY DETAILED PROCESS, AND SOME MISTAKES CHANGE THEIR MIND AND THEY GO TO OTHER FUNDING SOURCES OR THEY DEFER THEIR PROJECTS.

SO YOU THINK YOU'RE PRETTY FAR DOWN THE LIST AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU CAN MOVE UP.

SO JUST GETTING THAT INITIAL RANKING IS REALLY THE BEGINNING OF THE PROCESS.

AND THEN YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE DETAILED PROCESS TO FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH MONEY IS GETTING USED UP, HOW MUCH IS LEFT, AND THEN SOMETIMES MORE MONEY BECOMES AVAILABLE DURING THE YEAR TO YOUR POINT, AND THEN THEY GO BACK TO THE LIST.

GOTCHA. SO AND TO ANSWER JOHN WRIGHT'S QUESTION, BECAUSE I KNOW HE'S GOING TO ASK IT.

SO, AGAIN, IF YOU COULD HELP ME OUT AGAIN FOR ANYONE, BUT YOU ALL ARE FUNDED THROUGH THE TX WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD FUNDING.

SO WHEN WE GET OUR $50 MILLION WORTH OF PROJECTS, YOU GET, IT'S A LOCKED IN PERCENTAGE FROM THE WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD.

SO IT'S WHATEVER, PERCENT, 3%, 4% OR SOMETHING.

RIGHT. BUT BUT YOU GUYS ARE FUNDED THROUGH THE WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD, SO WHOEVER WE PICK WORKS FOR US, ASSUMING WE APPLY, AND THEN THEY GET PAID THROUGH WHATEVER PROJECTS THAT WE DO.

YOU GET THE BUDGET YOU SUBMIT.

IT INCLUDES ALL THE ENGINEERING TO YOUR TOTAL COST.

YEAH. YEP. LUMP SUM.

SO I KNEW YOU ALL COULD HELP ME OUT BECAUSE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR KSA? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.

THANK YOU GUYS FOR PARTICIPATING.

ALL THREE OF Y'ALL, HIGH QUALITY, WELL-PERFORMING GROUPS.

AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR INTEREST IN US AND PARTICIPATING IN THE PROCESS.

SO IT'LL BE OUR NEXT AGENDA ITEM WHERE WE'LL ACTUALLY SELECT ONE OF THE THREE.

SO ANY MORE QUESTIONS? IF NOT, WE'LL MOVE ALONG TO THE ITEM NUMBER TEN, IS A DISCUSSION POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE ONE OF THE TOP THREE SUBMISSIONS FOR

[10. Discussion and possible action to approve one of the top three submissions for the Professional Engineering Services and Administration Services RFQ. ]

THE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES AND ADMINISTRATION SERVICES, RFQ.

YEAH. EVERYTHING TO SAY, CHRIS OR.

WELL, AGAIN, YOU KNOW, THEY THEY ALL CAME OUT IN THE TOP THREE BASED ON SCORING.

I LIKE TO SAY I CALLED REFERENCES OR WE CALL REFERENCES, BUT I'VE WORKED WITH ALL THREE FIRMS BEFORE AND WE'VE HAD PROJECTS HERE IN ANGLETON, AS YOU SAW A PROJECT IN ROCKDALE, AND THEY DO QUALITY WORK AND THEY'RE BIG ENOUGH FIRMS THAT THEY'VE GOT THAT DEPTH AND EXPERIENCE.

BUT IT IS IT'S NOT JUST LIKE THEY SAID, AN ENGINEERING PROJECT, IT'S THE FINANCIAL AND THE APPLICATION AND THEN THE NEGOTIATION PIECE.

AND, AND SO IT'S A MULTIYEAR PROCESS.

OKAY. ALL RIGHTY, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

SO NOW WE NEED TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF SELECTING, I BELIEVE, IN OUR PACKET.

WE HAVE THE SCORING FROM THE COMMITTEE, AND SO YOU CAN SEE WHERE THAT RANK WAS AND WE CAN WORK FROM THERE.

MR. CECIL. MR. MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO JUST MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE ON THE COUNCIL UNDERSTANDS THE TASKS THAT WE WILL BE ASKING ONE OF THESE FIRMS TO DO FOR US.

WE HAVE A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, PLAN FOR SEVERAL WATER JOBS, SEVERAL SEWER JOBS.

THOSE WILL NEED TO BE RANKED FROM SEVERITY TO PRIORITY LIST.
