THANK YOU. MOVING TO REGULAR AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FIVE PRESENTATION BY STEVEN CAMPBELL WITH ENTERPRISE FLEET MANAGEMENT TO PRESENT AN UPDATE ON THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND

[5. Presentation by Stephen Campbell with Enterprise Fleet Management to present an update on the agreement between the City and Enterprise.]

SO ANNUALLY WE HAVE ENTERPRISE COME AND JUST GIVE US AN UPDATE.

WHAT I ASKED IS FOR A FLEET UPDATE AUTOMOTIVE.

WE'VE HAD SOME CHANGES.

LIKE THE FIRST ROUND WAS CHEVY SILVERADOS FOR STANDARD TRUCKS, AND NOW WE'RE GETTING DODGE RAMS BASED ON AVAILABILITY FROM THE MANUFACTURERS. AND SO I THINK WE HAVE AN ORDER TIME COMING UP IN THE MAY TIME FRAME, LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR.

WE'RE LOOKING HARD AT POLICE VEHICLES RIGHT NOW.

THAT'S OUR BIGGEST CONCERN.

WE'VE GOT SOME SPECIALTY EQUIPMENT THAT, AGAIN, WE'RE WORKING.

BUT OVERALL, I THINK THE PROGRAM IS WORKING GREAT.

AND AGAIN, WE'VE GOTTEN THROUGH A LOT OF THE STANDARD VEHICLES FOR PUBLIC WORKS, PARKS AND CITY.

WE'RE NOW NUDGING AT SOME OF THE SPECIALTY VEHICLES.

SO, STEPHEN, SURE.

WANT ME TO CONNECT OR JUST TALK ABOUT YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE PODIUM, BUT YOU CAN YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION.

COLTON WANT ME TO DO THAT OR.

YES, PLEASE. GO AHEAD.

THAT'D BE GREAT.

BUT ACTUALLY.

SORRY IS A MERE 30 MINUTES.

[00:05:01]

OH, THERE IS. OKAY. PERFECT.

UM, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HAVING ME OUT HERE.

LIKE CHRIS SAID, MY NAME IS STEPHEN CAMPBELL.

I'M WITH ENTERPRISE FLEET MANAGEMENT.

AND FIRST AND FOREMOST, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE CITY.

YOU ALL ARE ONE OF, IF NOT THE BEST PARTNERSHIP WE HAVE, AND WE'LL GET INTO THE HOWS AND WHYS AND THE SUCCESS THAT IT'S HAD FINANCIALLY FOR YOUR CITY.

I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR ABOUT 14 YEARS AND IN FLEET MANAGEMENT AND LIKE I SAID, HAVING GOOD PARTNERSHIPS IS WHAT MAKES IT ALL MATTER TO US.

SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THAT.

SO BEFORE WE GET INTO THE SPECIFICS OF YOUR FLEET, I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE INDUSTRY AND WHERE WE THINK AND WHERE WE KNOW IT'S BEEN AND WHERE IT'S HEADED FROM THERE.

SO TO GET THINGS OFF, AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW, VEHICLES ARE AROUND 12% MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THEY WERE.

ANOTHER KEY TO IT IS THE MANUFACTURERS.

THEIR ORDER BANKS ARE OPENING AT DIFFERENT TIMES.

SO PLANNING FOR THAT CAN BE A CHALLENGE.

SO I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU ALL BEING KIND OF ON CALL AND FLEXIBLE WITH THE DIFFERENT OPTIONS THAT WE HAVE, AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT THAT DOES WHEN WE GET INTO WHAT THAT'S DONE FOR YOU GUYS. FUNDING AS WELL.

WE BORROW OFF THE THREE YEAR T BILL THAT HAS INCREASED SLIGHTLY AS WELL.

FUEL EXPENSES, THEY'VE INCREASED TOO, AND THEN REMARKETING THE VEHICLES.

THEY'VE GONE DOWN A LITTLE BIT FROM THE RESALE SIDE OF THINGS.

WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO CAPTURE THE GOOD IMPACT THAT AND I'LL EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT WHEN WE GET TO YOUR FLEET.

THEIR MAINTENANCE EXPENSES HAVE GONE UP AT 17% WHEN THIS WAS PUT TOGETHER.

GOOD NEWS FOR YOU GUYS.

THE VEHICLES THAT YOU LEASE FROM US, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE POLICE VEHICLES, ARE ON A FIXED BUDGETED MAINTENANCE PROGRAM.

SO THAT'S INFLATION PROOF FOR YOU GUYS.

FOR ENTERPRISE, IT'S KIND OF TAKEN A HIT TO OUR BACK FILL OF THAT.

BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS WE DIDN'T ANTICIPATE FOR THE PRICE INCREASE.

YOU GUYS ARE LOCKED IN ON YOUR MAINTENANCE RATE FOR THE VEHICLES.

SO YOU'VE REALLY TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THAT FROM THAT.

AND THEN INSURANCE HAS GONE UP CONSIDERABLY AS WELL.

AND SO ALL THESE DIFFERENT THINGS ARE THINGS THAT MYSELF AND CHRIS SIT DOWN AT LEAST TWO, THREE TIMES A YEAR, COLLEEN, PHIL.

AND WE REVIEW THIS STUFF TO MAKE SURE, HEY, WHAT'S GOING TO WHAT CAN WE DO TO HEDGE THESE EXPENSES AND GO FROM THERE? A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE MARKET IS THINGS YOU NEED TO CONSIDER THIS.

THIS YEAR WE'RE IN THE MODEL YEAR 2024 FOR VEHICLES, BELIEVE IT OR NOT.

AND WHAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE IS PRODUCTION STILL GOING TO REMAIN BELOW THE DEMAND.

WHAT THAT MEANS IS HIGHER PRICING AND HOW DO WE NAVIGATE THAT.

WE DO THINK THE INVENTORY IS SLOWLY GOING TO INCREASE, BUT THE MANUFACTURERS AREN'T GOING TO DROP THE PRICES.

AND WHAT WE'VE NOTICED NOW IS GOVERNMENT USED TO GET REALLY LARGE VEHICLE INCENTIVES FOR EVERY VEHICLE.

THOSE ARE STARTING TO TAPER OFF.

THEY USED TO BE EIGHT, NINE, $10,000 PER VEHICLE.

WE'RE LOOKING AT AROUND 2 TO 3000 PER VEHICLE NOW.

SO THERE'S A DRAMATIC DIFFERENCE THERE BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE INDUSTRY IS GOING THERE.

ONE THING THAT YOU GUYS CAN DO AND CONTINUE TO DO IS THE BULLET POINT THREE HERE IS TAKE CARE OF YOUR VEHICLES, WHETHER THEY'RE THE ONES ON THE FIXED BUDGETED PROGRAM THAT WE HAVE OR YOUR CURRENT FLEET, GET THEM IN FOR THAT ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.

MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE REPAIRED TO HELP REDUCE DOWNTIME.

AND IT'S CRITICAL. RIGHT NOW, LIFESPANS ARE GOING LONGER BECAUSE THE NEW VEHICLES ARE HARDER TO FIND.

YOU MAY HAVE TO HANG ON TO THAT VEHICLE ANOTHER 6 TO 12 MONTHS.

SO THE PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE CAN BE REALLY BIG IN HELPING YOU WITH THAT.

ONE THING THAT ANGLETON HAS DONE A GREAT JOB WITH IS THE FOURTH POINT HERE IS LOOK TOWARD AN AGGRESSIVE REPLACEMENT STRATEGY TO MAXIMIZE THE ALLOCATION AND RESALE OPPORTUNITIES.

WE GOT REALLY CREATIVE WITH THE CITY LAST YEAR.

WE WERE WE WERE UNABLE TO ORDER VEHICLES FROM THE MANUFACTURERS, BUT WE HAD A PLAN WITH YOU GUYS AND WE WERE ABLE TO CUT YOU GUYS A CHECK FOR $188,000 BACK TO THE VEHICLES AND ESSENTIALLY REFINANCE THOSE VEHICLES UNTIL WE WERE ABLE TO ORDER THEIR REPLACEMENTS.

SO A CASH INFUSION FOR THE CITY AND THEN TO STICK TO THE PLAN.

AND THAT GOES BACK TO, YOU KNOW, BEING OPEN MINDED, HAVING THE CONVERSATIONS AND BEING WILLING TO DISCUSS THINGS, WHICH THAT'S WHAT THE TRUE PARTNERSHIP IS.

WE'RE HERE TO HELP YOU GUYS COME UP WITH THE BEST DECISIONS WE CAN, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE INDUSTRY GETS TOUGH AND HAVING A PARTNERSHIP LIKE YOU ALL AND HAVING ENTERPRISE IN YOUR CORNER, I HOPE YOU CAN SEE THE SAME BENEFITS WITH THAT.

ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT JUST THE OVERALL AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY THAT YOU GUYS HAVE? IS IT? BEFORE I MOVE ALONG TO THE CITY STUFF.

[00:10:03]

SURE. SO WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE STANDARD MAINTENANCE THAT'S IN OUR PACKAGE, WHAT DOES THAT COVER? THAT COVERS EVERYTHING ON THE VEHICLE FROM YOUR PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE.

YOUR OIL CHANGES ALL THE WAY UP TO COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, HEADLIGHTS, ANY OF THE EXPENDABLE THINGS.

I WILL. LOOK, I DON'T BELIEVE IT INCLUDES TIRES.

IN YOUR CASE, THAT MAY BE THE ONLY EXPENDABLE ITEM THAT'S NOT INCLUDED.

BUT AND THAT'S A GOOD.

ISN'T IT BRAKES, TOO? BRAKES, THEY MAY NOT BE INCLUDED BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLES BEFORE.

YOU SHOULD NEED THE BRAKES ON THOSE.

THAT'S THE PLAN, BECAUSE YOU TYPICALLY REPLACE BRAKES AT 60,000 MILES OR SO.

YOU GUYS ARE AVERAGING AROUND 10,000 MILES A YEAR.

SO WE SHOULD BE GETTING OUT OF THOSE BEFORE BRAKES.

SO BUT YES, ANY OTHER ITEM, MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S THROUGH THE FIXED BUDGET AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM.

IF YOU'RE THINKING OF VEHICLES THAT ARE LEASED THROUGH ENTERPRISE THAT ARE ON THAT PROGRAM, THAT HAVE GOTTEN REPAIRS DONE OUTSIDE OF THE PROGRAM, AND MAYBE THE CITY HAS PAID FOR THAT, IF YOU SUBMIT RECEIPTS TO MYSELF, IN MOST CASES, WE CAN GET YOU REIMBURSED FOR THAT WORK.

YEAH, SO GOOD QUESTION.

ANY ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT.

SO HERE'S. IT'S A LITTLE SMALL THERE, BUT WHAT THIS IS, IS THE SPEND OVERVIEW.

AND WHAT THIS DID IS I TOOK DECEMBER 20TH OR I'M SORRY, DECEMBER 20TH.

YEAH, CALENDAR YEAR 2021, AND THEN COMPARED IT TO CALENDAR YEAR 2022 ON HERE.

AND 2021 WAS KIND OF THE INCEPTION OF THE PARTNERSHIP WITH WITH US.

SO THAT WAS WHEN WE FIRST STARTED GATHERING THE DATA MOVING FORWARD THERE.

BUT I CAN SEND THIS OUT TO YOU GUYS AS WELL.

THE NUMBERS ARE A LITTLE SMALL THERE.

BUT WHAT THE MAIN THING IS HERE IS IT ALLOWS US TO TRACK WHERE THE MONEY IS GOING.

AND THEN FROM A BUDGET PERSPECTIVE, YOU GUYS CAN USE THIS HOPEFULLY TO HELP PLAN THE FLEET THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

AND LIKE I SAID BEFORE, IF YOU NEED ANY HELP WITH THAT, WE CAN SIT DOWN, HELP YOU GUYS BUDGET BECAUSE WE DO TRACK EVERYTHING.

AND THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT WHEN I SAY TRACK THE THINGS WE'RE TRACKING HERE, THE MAINTENANCE EXPENSE, FUEL EXPENSES, RESALE AND LEASE CHARGES AND THE OVERALL EXPENSE ON THE BOTTOM FIVE.

YEAH. 500 AND.

SO RIGHT AT $543,000 FOR THE VEHICLES.

WE HAVE AN AVERAGE FLEET SIZE OF AROUND 34 WITH YOU GUYS.

BUT ONE THING THAT'S NOT CONTRIBUTED TO THAT IS THE $188,000 CHECK WE CUT BACK TO YOU.

SO OVER THE LAST 12 MONTHS, THE REALISTIC SPEND FOR THE CITY TO OPERATE THE LEASED VEHICLES WITH ENTERPRISE WAS RIGHT AT AROUND $350,000 FOR THAT, WHICH IS IS GREAT FOR THAT.

SO AND LIKE I SAID, THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT THIS AND PARTNERING IS IS WE HAVE THE DATA TO TRACK TO HELP YOU GUYS BUDGET.

SO IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS OR HOW MUCH SOMETHING COSTS RIGHT NOW, IT'S A PER UNIT PER MONTH EXPENSE, I THINK OF AROUND $500.

BUT WHEN WE RESELL THOSE, YOU'LL RECOUP SOME OF THAT BACK IN THE EQUITY THERE.

ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE EQUITY IS GOING DOWN, RIGHT, BECAUSE THE RESALE MARKET IS GOING DOWN.

SO THERE IS.

YES, I MEAN TO BE SO WE IN YEARS PAST, WE'VE PROFITED.

I MEAN, SOME CITIES HAVE BOUGHT VEHICLES AND USED THEM FOR A YEAR OR SO AND WE'VE SOLD THEM FOR MORE MONEY THAN THEY PURCHASE.

WHAT WE ARE SEEING IS THE INDUSTRY IS CHANGING.

YOU SAW THAT ON THE MARKETING SIDE.

VEHICLES JUST AREN'T SELLING AS MORE.

AND IT'S IT'S A DOUBLE EDGED SWORD FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF INCENTIVES ARE GETTING SMALLER AND VEHICLES AREN'T SELLING FOR QUITE AS MUCH AS THEY ARE.

BUT THE GOOD NEWS THERE IS, LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY TO GET CREATIVE WHERE WE CUT YOU THE CHECK.

AND THEN ALSO IF IF IT MAKES FINANCIAL SENSE TO HOLD A VEHICLE LONGER THAN THAT YEAR, THAT'S THINGS WILL TAKE A LOOK AT AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR WHEN CHRIS I AND THE TEAM SIT DOWN TO REVIEW THINGS.

SO THOSE ARE THINGS WE DO WANT TO HELP OUT BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE FOR YOUR BEST INTEREST AS WELL AS FINANCIAL RECOMMENDATIONS AS WELL AS MAINTENANCE AND DOWNTIME.

SO YES, SIR, YOU SAID YOU WERE DOING ABOUT 60,000 MILES IS WHEN THEY'RE GOING IN.

NO. WELL, WE IT DEPENDS ON THE MARKET.

FOR INSTANCE, THE SILVERADOS THAT YOU GUYS GOT OUT OF, THOSE WERE ONLY IN SERVICE FOR ABOUT A YEAR, A YEAR AND A HALF.

SO THEY PROBABLY ONLY HAD 15-20,000 MILES ON THEM.

SO IT ALL JUST IT'S A MATTER OF WHAT WE CAN GET, WHEN WE CAN GET AND THE EQUITY POSITIONS THAT WE HAVE IN YOUR FLEET THERE.

WHAT ABOUT A POLICE UNIT, THE POLICE UNITS, THOSE TYPICALLY WE REPLACE THOSE EVERY FOUR YEARS AROUND 100,000 MILES IS WHAT WE RECOMMEND THERE. AND SPEAKING OF THE POLICE UNITS, I KNOW THAT'S THAT'S THE BIG CHALLENGE RIGHT NOW IN THE INDUSTRY.

CHEVY, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY'S GOING TO THE TAHOE POLICE UNIT THERE.

[00:15:02]

THAT IS A BIG THING ON OUR RADAR FOR THE CITY I KNOW FOR YOU GUYS ESPECIALLY THERE ARE SOME AGING POLICE UNITS.

THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE GETTING USED THE MOST THE MOST MILEAGE DRIVEN, THE HARDEST.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE DO HAVE TO KEEP A FOCUS ON.

AND YOU GUYS HAVE MY COMMITMENT THAT AS SOON AS I GET ANY NEWS ON WHEN THE CHEVY TAHOE ORDER BANKS ARE GOING TO OPEN OR ANY WORD WITH THAT, I'LL COME BACK OUT.

WE'LL SIT DOWN AND MAKE A BUDGET PLAN FOR YOU GUYS FOR THAT.

SO YEAH, THAT IS UNFORTUNATELY, YOU KNOW, CHEVYS HAD SOME MANUFACTURING ISSUES TO SAY THE LEAST, THAT THEY'RE SLOWLY OVERCOMING AND GETTING THINGS DONE.

SO THE OTHER CHALLENGE, AS YOU REMEMBER, IS THEY'VE GOT TO EQUIP THEM.

SO IT'S ORDERING SPECIALTY EQUIPMENT, IT'S GETTING IT TO THE THE INSTALLER.

SO IT JUST ADDS THAT MUCH MORE TIME.

IT'S A COUPLE OF MONTHS, ISN'T IT LOOPY.

YES SIR. YEAH.

ADDED TO THAT. SO IT'S A CHALLENGE.

YEAH. AND TO THAT POINT, WHAT WE'RE SEEING NOW IS THE WHAT WE TRY TO DO IS COORDINATE.

WE ORDER THE VEHICLE AND THEN SLIGHTLY AFTER THAT TIME PERIOD, WE ORDER THE AFTERMARKET BECAUSE IT'S TAKING AROUND 4 TO 7 MONTHS TO GET THE AFTERMARKET IN, DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR.

SO, YOU KNOW, THE LIGHT BARS AND STUFF, IT'S NOT JUST LIGHT BARS.

THEY ALL HAVE THE COMPUTER CHIPS RUNNING THROUGH THEM AND ALL THAT.

SO BUT YEAH, THAT'S WHY WE WORK TOGETHER AND WE CAN SIT DOWN AND PLAN FOR THOSE THINGS WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY ARISES TO PLACE ORDERS FOR THOSE.

YEAH, AND HERE'S THE LIKE I SAID, THE FULL MAINTENANCE SUMMARY.

THIS TALKS ABOUT THE FIXED BUDGETED PROGRAM RIGHT NOW COST PER UNIT PER MONTH TO MAINTAIN ON THE FIXED BUDGETED PROGRAMS RIGHT.

AT $35 A MONTH.

WHAT I REALLY LIKE TO SHOW ON ON THIS SLIDE HERE IS THE PREFERRED ACCOUNTS BEING USED.

YOU GUYS ARE USING 97.3% PREFERRED ACCOUNTS.

AND THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT THAT IS, IS THAT'S THE FASTEST WAY YOUR VEHICLES CAN GET IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP BECAUSE WE SHARE A COMPUTER SYSTEM.

SO FROM A DOWNTIME AND OPERATIONAL STANDPOINT, YOU GUYS ARE DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB OF USING SHOPS THAT'LL GET WORK DONE FAST AND IN AND OUT PROPERLY THERE.

SO GOOD JOB FROM THE MAINTENANCE.

YOU GUYS ARE ALSO TAKING THE VEHICLES IN.

I DIDN'T BRING THAT SLIDE, BUT FROM AN OVERALL USAGE OF THE PROGRAM, YOU ARE USING IT SUCCESSFULLY THERE AND THERE'S ACCESS TO WEBSITES.

I KNOW DIFFERENT PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT ACCESS.

YOU CAN GO IN AND TAKE A LOOK AT OUR DASHBOARD AND SEE WHO NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE, WHAT VEHICLE MAY NEED TO GO TO THE SHOP AS WELL AS WE CAN SEND THAT INFORMATION OUT AS WELL. SO IT'S A GREAT, GREAT WAY FOR US TO ALL HAVE STOPGAPS ON THERE.

AND YOU'RE NOT JUST LOOKING AT RANDOM EXCEL SPREADSHEETS WONDERING, HEY, DO I GO DOUBLE PAY FOR AN OIL CHANGE? IT MAY HAVE BEEN DONE IN THE PAST.

WE KEEP VERY GOOD RECORDS OF THAT TO HELP YOU GUYS SAVE TIME AND NOT JUST BRING IN THE SAME VEHICLES IN OR ONE THAT MAYBE HADN'T BEEN IN THE SHOP IN A WHILE BECAUSE WE WANT EVERY VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE NOT DRIVEN VERY MANY MILES TO GO AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR, JUST FROM A SAFETY PERSPECTIVE, TO HAVE A MECHANIC TAKE A LOOK AT EVERYTHING ON IT.

AND THERE'S LIKE 8 OR 10 SHOPS IN ANGLETON.

SO IT'S EVERYTHING FROM SACHSE MOTORS TO THE DEALERSHIP TO WHATEVER.

SO IT'S KIND OF EASY FOR US TO GET GET IN AND OUT.

YEP. YEAH. AND THAT AND THEN KEEPING THE MONEY HERE IN THE CITY TOO IS IMPORTANT TOO.

SO YEAH. AND THEN ONE THING THAT WE ALSO PARTNERED WITH WAS THE FUEL OVERVIEW ON THE VEHICLES AND TRACK THAT.

AND ONE OF THE REASONS THAT I LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE FUEL AND WHEN I SIT DOWN IS TO MAKE SURE THERE'S THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF CARDS THAT ARE CUT AND ARE THEY BEING USED AND ARE THEY NOT? SO WE CHECK FOR FRAUD TO MAKE SURE, HEY, DOES THIS NUMBER OF CARDS LOOK ACCURATE? AND WE SPOT CHECK THIS.

AND AT THIS TIME WE'RE NOT COMING UP WITH ANY FRAUDULENT THINGS.

WE DIDN'T SEE ANY WEIRD TRANSACTIONS TO WHERE IT LOOKS LIKE VEHICLES ARE BEING FUELED UP IRREGULARLY OR A LARGE AMOUNT.

THAT SHOULDN'T BE OUR PARTNER WHO WE PARTNER WITH.

THEY HAVE PLANS AND CONTROLS IN PLACE TO HELP PREVENT ANY OF THE FRAUD THAT WE SEE THERE.

AND ONCE AGAIN, FROM A BUDGET PERSPECTIVE, IT LETS US SEE WHERE THE MONEY IS GOING.

SO WE GUYS SO WE CAN PLAN ON THAT TOGETHER.

SO GOOD UTILIZATION OF THE FUEL PROGRAM.

AND THEN THE LAST THING I HAVE IS THE ORDERS.

RIGHT NOW, WE'VE GOT 24 VEHICLES ON ORDER.

ONE OF THEM DOES HAVE A PRODUCTION DATE, WHICH IS MID-MARCH.

SO THEY'RE STARTING TO COME IN.

THE RAMS THAT WE HAVE ON ORDER.

THEY ARE STARTING TO COME IN AND THEN WE'LL SLOWLY TAKE THE SILVERADOS OUT, SELL THEM AND WHATEVER EQUITY WE HAVE, WE CAN CUT A CHECK BACK TO THE CITY FOR YOU GUYS AND JUST KEEP THE PROGRAM GOING, BECAUSE ONE THING THAT WE DON'T WANT TO DO IS FALL BEHIND.

AND THEN YOU'VE GOT AGED VEHICLES WITH NO EQUITY THAT ARE BREAKING DOWN, AND IT JUST DOESN'T PORTRAY THE RIGHT IMAGE FOR THE CITY.

[00:20:03]

AND ONCE AGAIN, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE TIME TODAY AND THE GREAT PARTNERSHIP.

THIS IS A MUTUAL BENEFIT FOR EVERYBODY AND THIS IS WHAT I LIKE DOING, HELPING THE CITIES WITH THE BUDGET AND RUNNING THINGS.

AND IT'S EASY WHEN THE RECOMMENDATIONS MAKE SENSE AND THE CITY LIKE YOU ALL'S IS WILLING TO TO WORK WITH US.

SO THAT'S WHAT I HAD.

IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

ANSWER THEM, BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU. JUST GOT ONE. SO WE USE GEO TABS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE VEHICLES.

SO WE GET LIKE AUTOMATED, AUTOMATED SPEEDING REPORTS OR WE CAN GEO FENCE.

AND SO IT'S REALLY HELPED US KIND OF KNOW WHERE VEHICLES ARE AND, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY PROTECTS THE EMPLOYEES BECAUSE IF SOMEONE SAYS, I SAW THEM OVER AT BUCKY'S AND THEY WERE OR WHATEVER, WE CAN PULL UP THE GEO TAB FOR THAT VEHICLE AND KNOW THEY WEREN'T AT BUC-EE'S.

RIGHT. SO IT'S BEEN A GOOD PROTECTION FOR THE CITY AND CITY EMPLOYEES.

OKAY. ANYBODY GOT ANYTHING ELSE? NO. I MEAN, I REMEMBER SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE GEO TABS THAT ONE OF THE CONSIDERATIONS WAS TO CREATE EFFICIENCIES.

HAVE YOU DO YOU THINK THAT'S BEEN THE CASE? I MEAN, I THINK IT WAS NOT JUST IN THE VEHICLE ITSELF, BUT TO KNOW THAT WHEN THEY WENT TO MOW A CERTAIN PARK, THEY SHOULD EXPECT TO BE ACCOMPLISHED, I DON'T KNOW, WITH 2 TO 3 HOURS AS OPPOSED TO AN EIGHT HOUR DAY OR SO.

SO MEGAN IN PARKS HAS REALLY BENEFITED FROM THAT ASPECT.

HEY, WE WERE AT MASTERSON FOR TWO HOURS.

WE WERE AT FREEDOM PARK FOR SIX AND HELPS THEM FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH TIME THEY'RE SPENDING.

IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE FUNCTION IS TO KIND OF CREATE THOSE DATAS, THAT DATA POINT.

YEAH. FYI, I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH A RESIDENT WHO WAS COMPLAINING THAT THE CITY HAD PURCHASED ALL THESE BRAND NEW TRUCKS AND GOING INTO DEBT AND NO, NO, NO.

SO ONCE I EXPLAINED TO HIM WE WERE NOT PURCHASING THE VEHICLES, WERE LEASING THE VEHICLES.

AND WHEN WE GET RID OF THE VEHICLES, THEY SELL THOSE VEHICLES AND WE GET MONEY BACK.

AND HE'S LIKE. OH.

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

I SAID SO. AND IT HELPS THE EMPLOYEE.

ESPRIT DE CORPS, HAVING YOU NOT TO GET INTO A RAGGEDY OLD, YOU KNOW, FLOORBOARD, ROTTEN OUT PICKUP TRUCK, YOU KNOW, TO DO YOUR JOB.

THE AIR CONDITIONER WORKS IN AUGUST, YOU KNOW, INSTEAD OF DRIVING AROUND, WINDOWS DOWN JUST TO COOL OFF.

SO AND I KNOW THE FACTS.

WATCH THESE MEETINGS. SO IF THEY EVER WANT TO DO A STORY ON THAT, THEY CAN, I'M SURE, VISIT WITH CHRIS AND WE'D BE HAPPY TO TELL THEM ALL ABOUT IT.

SO, SO AND STEPHEN, HELP ME OUT.

SO WE BOUGHT CHEVY SILVERADO, FOUR DOOR KING CAB, CREW CAB THINGS.

SO THIS YEAR WE'RE BUYING A BUNCH OF DODGE RAM 1500S BECAUSE THAT'S THAT'S WHO'S MAKING TRUCKS THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR US.

AND SO YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF DODGE RAMS OUT THERE REPLACING THE SILVERADOS.

BUT IT'S [INAUDIBLE] FOR THE FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO JUDGE, YOU KNOW, VEHICLE TYPES AND WHATEVER.

BUT IT'S NOT A WE PREFER SOMETHING OVER ANOTHER.

IT'S REALLY TO MEET THE MODEL OF SWAPPING VEHICLES OUT SO WE GET THE RESALES IN AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS.

YEAH. AND THAT'S A REALLY GOOD POINT, CHRIS, BECAUSE CERTAIN PEOPLE THAT WAITED ON, OH, I'M FORD LOYAL.

I'M FORD LOYAL. UNFORTUNATELY, FORD'S NOT VERY LOYAL RIGHT NOW.

THEY'RE JUST, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE SELLING VEHICLES AT DEALERSHIPS AND NOT REALLY TAKING CARE OF THE GOVERNMENT OR COMMERCIAL ENTITY THERE.

AND SO THOSE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WAITING TWO, THREE YEARS TO REPLACE TRUCKS AND NOW THEIR MAINTENANCE EXPENSES ARE INCREASING AND THEIR EQUITY IS DECREASING AND THEY PUT THEMSELVES IN A HOLE. SO, YEAH, ONE DAY WE CAN GET BACK TO WHAT DO WE PREFER.

BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S WHAT MAKES SENSE.

AND I THINK YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD.

SO YEAH, IT'LL BE DODGE THIS TIME, BUT STATISTICALLY WE HAVE THE NUMBERS FROM A MAINTENANCE AND RESALE PERSPECTIVE, THEY'RE ALL ABOUT THE SAME.

SO YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD POINT, CHRIS.

IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE YOU HAD A GOOD GRAPH UP THERE ON TOTAL SPEND.

I DEFINITELY LIKE THAT.

AND TO BE ABLE TO SEE THAT TRENDED OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS, HOW THAT WORKS.

BUT IT WOULD BE ALSO NICE TO SEE TREND IT BACKWARDS BEFORE ENTERPRISE.

WHAT WAS IT? HOW MUCH WERE WE SPENDING ON PURCHASING VEHICLES, MAINTENANCE, FUEL COSTS AND ALL THAT BACKWARDS.

I. TO SEE HOW MUCH DIFFERENCE THIS REALLY IS.

I CAN ASK THE SALES PERSON THAT WORKED ON THIS TO GET THINGS KIND OF UP AND RUNNING.

I MANAGE IT NOW.

I BELIEVE THEY WERE GIVEN THAT DATA THEY WERE WHEN WE PARTNERED.

SO IF YOU'D LIKE, I CAN PULL THAT AND THEN WE CAN COMPARE BECAUSE WHAT WE DO IS I'M SURE WE PUT A TEN YEAR MODEL TOGETHER FOR YOU.

[00:25:08]

YEAH. WE COULDN'T GET THEM OR YOUR FLEET.

WE HAD A COUPLE IN THE FLEET.

SO LET ME DO A LITTLE HOMEWORK ON THAT.

JOHN AND I CAN SEND THAT INFORMATION OVER.

THAT'D BE REALLY GOOD FOR US TO SEE.

YEAH. THANK YOU. IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE SKEWED, TOO, WITH, LIKE, FUEL, YOU KNOW? FUEL COSTS CHANGE, RIGHT? YEAH. WE'VE SAVED ALL THIS FUEL BASED ON THE NEWER VEHICLES, BUT THE COST HAS GONE UP, AND SO.

YOU KNOW, WE'LL HAVE TO TO MARK THAT.

JUST TO BREAK THE FUEL LINE.

RIGHT. YEAH. YEAH, WE CAN DO THAT.

I'M SURE YOU CAN FIND SOMEWHERE WITH THE AVERAGE COST OF FUEL WAS AND WHATEVER YEAR VERSUS TODAY'S DOLLAR.

SO. OKAY.

LIKE ANYTHING ELSE. OKAY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING AND IT WAS A GREAT PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU, STEPHEN. NICE TO MEET YOU.

NICE TO MEET YOU. THANK TO. ALL RIGHT.

ITEM NUMBER SIX, DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE 2021 STREET BOND PROJECT PACKAGE TO SAN FELIPE DRIVE AND CHEVY CHASE DRIVE.

[6. Discussion and possible action on the 2021 Street Bond Project Package 2: San Felipe Drive and Chevy Chase Drive.]

WE DO. SO WE CAN TALK WE CAN TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE FUTURE BECAUSE WE HAVE SOME COST SAVINGS.

AND SO WE CAN YOU CAN GIVE US SOME GUIDANCE AND DIRECTION AND WE CAN COME BACK WITH OTHER OPTIONS.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

ON FEBRUARY 15TH, WE OPENED UP THE PACKAGE TO PROJECT.

WE HAD RECEIVED FOUR BIDS.

WE GOT SOME REALLY GOOD BIDS IN.

WE WERE THINKING IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE OVER 2 MILLION.

WE DID MAKE AN ALTERNATIVE IN IT THAT DID SAVE A LITTLE BIT.

NOT AS MUCH AS WE WERE WANTING WITH THE MATERIAL OF THE FOUR BIDS, THE APPARENT LOW BIDDER WAS MATULA.

MATULA. UM, WE HAVE CALLED THE REFERENCES.

THEY'VE WORKED FOR THE CITY. THEY'RE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH THE CITY RIGHT NOW, SO THEY'VE GOT A GREAT TRACK RECORD WITH THE CITY AND WORKING WITH THE CITY.

SO WITH THAT, WE RECOMMEND THAT THE CITY AWARD, THE CONTRACT TO MATULA AND MATULA FOR THE PACKAGE TWO PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,519,185.90, WE ARE NOT RECOMMENDING THE ALTERNATIVE ONE, WHICH WOULD BE TO TAKE THE PIPE TO RCP MATERIAL.

WE WANT TO KEEP IT AS POLYPROPYLENE.

THAT'S NOT WHAT IT SAYS IN THE BID PACKAGE.

SAYS ADDITIONAL COST TO UPGRADE 24 INCH.

POLYPROPYLENE STORM SEWER.

OH, OKAY. I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? THE DIFFERENCE IS THE MATERIAL.

THE MATERIAL COST.

TYPICALLY, YOU'LL GET A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A SPREAD THAN WHAT WE DID HERE.

POLYPROPYLENE IS A PRODUCT THAT CAME OUT THAT NOW TXDOT HAS APPROVED.

FORT BEND COUNTY HAS APPROVED.

SUGARLAND IS WORKING WITH SOME OF IT DUE TO THE RISING COSTS THAT WE'VE BEEN SEEING ON RCP PIPE, REINFORCED CONCRETE PIPE.

THE COST OF CONCRETE ARE GOING UP AND UP AND UP.

SO ALL THESE ENTITIES ARE LOOKING FOR OTHER ALTERNATIVES.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT IS, ONE, IT'S A RIGID PIPE.

IT'S NOT LIKE WHAT YOU CALL HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE PIPE.

THAT'S THE BLACK ONE THAT YOU SEE.

THIS IS POLYETHYLENE.

IT'S STIFFER, IT'S MORE RIGID, IT'S MORE STRUCTURALLY SOUND.

AND IT'S LIKE I SAID, IT'S PROVED BY TXDOT FOR THIS APPLICATION ANYWHERE ON THE TXDOT HIGHWAY.

SO YOU'VE GOT A PRECEDENCE ALREADY SET FOR THAT.

I LIKE IT THAT YOU CUT THE NUMBER OF JOINTS OUT INSTEAD OF LAYING 6 FOOT OR 8 FOOT JOINTS, YOU'RE LAYING 20 FOOT JOINTS.

TYPICALLY, IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, IT'S AT THE JOINTS.

THE JOINTS START LEAKING.

SO BY CUTTING DOWN THE NUMBER OF JOINTS, YOU'RE GETTING A MORE RESILIENT SYSTEM.

THE OTHER THING I LIKE IS IT'S ALSO LIGHTER AND TYPICALLY YOU'LL SEE SOME SOME SAVINGS IN IT BECAUSE IT'S LIGHTER, BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE TO HAVE AS BIG OF A MACHINE WHEN YOU GET INTO THE LARGER PIPE. THIS IS 24, SO IT'S NOT REALLY THAT MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE.

AND THEN ALSO TYPICALLY BECAUSE YOU CAN LAY LONGER JOINTS, YOU GET MORE PRODUCTION.

SO WE DIDN'T REALLY SEE THAT HERE, BUT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD AREA TO TEST FOR THE FUTURE.

THIS POLYPROPYLENE LIKE I SAID, THERE'S OTHER PRECEDENTS SET, BUT I THINK THIS WOULD BE A GOOD APPLICATION FOR YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT AND SEE WHERE IN THE FUTURE, WHEN WE GET INTO LARGER SIZED PIPES THAT THIS MAY BE A VIABLE OPTION.

OKAY. WELL, BEFORE WE MAKE A MOTION ON THE APPROVAL OF THIS.

DID YOU WANT TO? DID YOU WANT TO DISCUSS THE OTHER PIECE THAT YOU WERE ASKING ABOUT? WELL, SO I THINK WE HAD FORECASTED, JOHN, IT WAS GOING TO BE WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE AROUND $2 MILLION.

[00:30:05]

AND WE CAN COME BACK AT SOME POINT AND GIVE YOU SOME RECOMMENDATIONS OF OTHER OTHER PROJECTS THAT WE COULD DO.

ONE OF IT.

PHIL WHAT'S THAT? WHAT'S THAT? GRANT. THERE'S A POTENTIAL GRANT IN PLAY.

AND SO YOU COULD DO SOMETHING LIKE WESTERN AVENUE BECAUSE YOU'RE ADDING GRANT MONEY PLUS CITY MATCH KIND OF THING.

SO IT COULD BE A BIGGER, BIGGER PROJECT.

OR AGAIN, WE COULD TAKE SMALLER CHUNKS.

WHAT'S GOING TO BE LEFT? WHAT'S GOING TO BE LEFT IN THE THE WHOLE BOND PACK? BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE'VE GOT ABOUT $7.5 MILLION LEFT IN THAT BOND.

REALLY? YES.

AFTER THIS IS GONE? NO, NOT BEFORE THIS.

SO AFTER THIS, WE'LL HAVE ABOUT 6 MILLION.

AND THE GRANT THAT CHRIS WAS TALKING ABOUT IS THROUGH HCRC.

IT'S A TRANSPORTATION GRANT AND WE SUBMITTED A LETTER OF INTEREST ON WESTERN AVENUE, AND WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT HCRC IS GOING TO DO. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, THE GRANTS 800 AND SOME THOUSAND, RIGHT? WELL, THAT WAS WHAT THE INITIAL THAT WE INITIALLY WE SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION FOR SOME WORK AT VETERAN'S PARK AND THAT WAS 870,000.

HOW MUCH WAS THE THE WORK ON WESTERN AVENUES WILL BE ABOUT $2 MILLION THAT WE'VE SUBMITTED TO HCRC.

BUT SO WE GET IF WE GET THIS GRANT, YOU KNOW, YOU APPLY THAT PLUS SOME OF THE OTHER ROAD MONEY AND AND DO WESTERN AVENUE.

WHAT'S THE TIME FRAME ON THE GRANT.

BECAUSE HERE'S MY CONCERN.

AREN'T WE OBLIGATED TO SPEND THIS MONEY WITHIN A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME? THE LAST BOND, GENERALLY, IT'S THREE YEARS.

YES. OH, WE'RE DEFINITELY OVER THAT.

SO WE GOT TO GET MOVING, IS MY POINT.

IF WE'RE GOING TO AND IF THE GRANT IS SOMEHOW GOING TO EXTEND SO FAR INTO THE FUTURE, I DON'T WANT US TO BE PENALIZED.

ON THE MONEY I'D RATHER USE IT ON BECAUSE THERE'S PLENTY OF PLACES THAT WE CAN USE IT.

DON'T GET ME WRONG, I'M NOT DISAGREEING WITH THE IDEA OF WESTERN AVENUE.

I'M JUST SAYING IF IT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT'S A VERY DELAYED PROCESS OR INTENSIVE IS THE TIME.

IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME FOR THAT TO GO THROUGH.

I'LL LET JOHN. OF COURSE IT WILL, JOHN.

YES, MA'AM. I CAN TURN.

YEAH. THE GRANT IS HCRC TIP FUNDING GRANT.

THE CALL IS RIGHT NOW.

IT'LL PROBABLY BE 18 MONTHS BEFORE YOU EVEN REALLY GET READY JUST TO MOVE FORWARD AND DESIGN.

BY THE TIME THEY GO THROUGH, DO THEIR PROCESS, EVALUATE IT AND MAKE SELECTIONS, GET WITH THE CITY, ADVANCE FUNDING CONTRACTS, YOU KNOW, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. NOW, THE THING WITH WESTERN AVENUE IS THOSE THOSE TIP FUNDINGS ARE FOR MORE TRANSPORTATION MOBILITY, YOU KNOW, AND I DON'T.

HENDERSON ROAD.

HENDERSON ROAD IS ON THAT, TOO.

HENDERSON ROAD IS ON THAT.

YES. THAT'S THE ONE THAT THAT'S THE BIG ONE.

THAT'S THE BIG ONE.

THAT'S THE ONE THAT WAS ON THAT APPLICATION SHEET.

SO THAT ONE, I THINK, IS GOING TO BE A MUCH MORE SELECTABLE PROJECT BECAUSE IT'S FOR AREAS OF GROWTH, IT'S FOR TRANSPORTATION, IT'S CONNECTIVITY, IT'S FOR SAFETY OF PEDESTRIANS, SCHOOL, ALL THIS STUFF, SCHOOLS, EVERYTHING.

SO, I MEAN, IT JUST CHECKS THE BOX ON ALL OF THEM.

WESTERN AVENUE MAY BE A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT BECAUSE IT'S JUST A PRIVATE A PRIVATE, BUT IT'S JUST A SMALL KIND OF RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY.

HAVE WE GONE OUT FOR THE TIP GRANT FOR HENDERSON ALREADY? THAT'S WHAT THIS IS. WHAT'S THE CALL IS FOR? OH, OKAY.

THIS IS INCLUDED WITHIN THAT PROJECT.

INCLUDE THE WEST. IT'S TWO PROJECTS.

IT'S THE HENDERSON ROAD PROJECT AT 50 MILLION.

AND AND THIS ONE'S A $800,000 REFRESH MY MEMORY AGAIN ON THE WHAT WAS 50 SOMETHING MILLION FOR HENDERSON.

HOW MUCH WAS THE GRANT MATCHING ON THAT 20%.

20%. SO WE HELD ON TO THE 6 MILLION THAT THAT HELPS GET US THERE.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO ASK.

MAYBE A GOOD SEGWAY FOR ME IS IN MY MIND.

EXCUSE ME. FOR THE BOND THAT WAS ISSUED ON THIS ONE.

HAVE WE CHECKED THE BOXES ON EVERYTHING ELSE? THAT'S. AND WE'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE 6 MILLION, ROUGHLY.

YEAH. WE'VE CHECKED ALL THE BOXES.

OH, THAT'S GREAT. FOR WHAT WE SAID WE WERE GOING TO USE IT FOR.

SO REALLY, IT'S GENERAL ROAD MONEY.

IT'S GENERAL. WE'VE GOT LIKE, I MEAN, TONS OF WHAT I LIKE TO DO IS COME BACK TO YOU ALL WITH A, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, SOME RECOMMENDATIONS, GET YOUR

[00:35:02]

SO I WOULD LEARN ABOUT THE BOND.

MY PREFERENCE, I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW IS TO CHECK AS MANY BOXES AS POSSIBLE.

I'D RATHER.

A HENDERSON'S A GREAT PROJECT.

WE ALL KNOW IT. BUT IF.

IF WE CAN PROVE 5 OR 6 ROADS AS A MAYBE, THAT'S MAYBE THAT'S WESTERN AVENUE.

OR WE CAN IN A BUNCH OF OTHERS, THEN THAT WOULD BE MORE.

MY I HAD AN A SIDE CONVERSATION A MONTH OR SO BACK WITH WITH MR WHITTAKER ABOUT SOME STREETS IN TOWN.

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF COUPLE OF STREETS THAT I FEEL LIKE NEED TO BE FINISHED.

WE GOT STARTED AND AND DIDN'T DIDN'T QUITE GET THEM ALL FINISHED.

SOME OTHERS HAVE SORT OF RISEN TO THE TOP.

WE WE PUT TOGETHER LIKE WE PUT TOGETHER A LIST AND THEN START PRIORITIZING.

BUT IF YOU KNOW, I'D LIKE TO STRIKE WHILE THE IRON'S HOT, I KNOW THAT PRICES ARE JUST WE'VE GOT A GREAT SOME GREAT BIDS THIS TIME, BUT WE'RE SEEING IT IN OTHER AREAS.

THE PRICES ARE JUST GOING UP AND UP AND UP.

AND IT'S AND TO TO KIND OF ECHO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING OR BUILD UPON WHAT YOU'RE SAYING OR I, I LIKE THE CONCEPT IN MY MIND IS, OKAY, WE'VE GOT A PROJECT HERE, THIS PACKAGE TO, YOU KNOW, IT'S A HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET IT DONE AND YOUR 2023 IS THAT POSSIBLE? ALL RIGHT, WELL, THEN WE CAN ROLL ON TO ANOTHER PROJECT FOR 24 AND 25.

YOU KNOW THAT WE'RE ALWAYS KIND OF MAKING A STEADY, INCREMENTAL PROGRESS THAT.

RATHER THAN AND I KNOW LAST BETWEEN PACKAGE ONE AND PACKAGE TWO.

THERE WAS COVID AND SOME OTHER THINGS THAT BASICALLY HAPPENED WHICH PUT THIS ISSUE ON THE BACK BURNER, EVEN FROM THE CITY COUNCIL'S PERSPECTIVE.

BUT IF WE I FEEL LIKE IF WE CAN MAKE THAT COMMITMENT TO CONTINUE YEAR AFTER YEAR OF OF ADDRESSING A STREET HERE OR TWO STREETS HERE, DEPENDING ON THE LENGTH OF THE THE ROAD YOU'RE BUILDING OR FIXING.

I JUST LIKE CECIL SAID, I FEEL LIKE THAT IRON'S HOT.

LET'S JUST KEEP ROLLING. AND I THINK PEOPLE.

TRUST CITY COUNCIL MORE.

WHEN THEY SEE VISIBLE PROJECT, THEY DON'T SEE THEIR WATER.

I KNOW WE'RE WORKING REALLY HARD ON DRAINAGE, BUT A LOT OF THOSE ISSUES ARE ARE BEHIND THE SCENES.

AND TRUST US, WE'RE WE'RE WORKING ON THESE THINGS AS OPPOSED TO WHEN YOU BUILD A SIDEWALK OR A ROAD AND THEY'RE LIKE, OKAY, THERE'S MY TAX DOLLARS GOING TO GOOD USE.

SO. SO HOW ABOUT WE COME BACK TO YOU IN A MONTH AND NOW THIS IS KIND OF SETTLED AND WE'LL GET THIS PROJECT ROLLING AND THEN TALK ABOUT WHAT YOUR VISION IS FOR FUTURE PROJECTS.

YEAH. I WILL ASK FOR A COUPLE OF THINGS WHEN YOU BRING THAT BACK.

ONE, THE DEBT SERVICE SCHEDULE.

WE REALLY NEED TO LOOK AT THAT.

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT.

WE HAVE 6 MILLION SITTING HERE.

WE WAIT AND WE START DOING SOME OF THESE OTHER STREETS AND HENDERSON ROAD SUDDENLY GET THE GRANT AND WE NEED $10 MILLION.

AND WHERE IS THAT GOING TO COME FROM? BECAUSE OUR DEBT SERVICE, OUR SIDE IS ALREADY SO HIGH RIGHT NOW.

IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT TWO YEARS BEFORE IT GOES BACK DOWN TO WHERE IT WAS.

SO I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.

AND THEN ALSO THE TIMING WHERE WE'RE AT ON THIS GRANT, WHAT'S THE EXPECTED APPROVAL DATE OR THAT DATE SO WE CAN KIND OF START LOOKING AT THAT? I THINK THOSE TWO THINGS WE DEFINITELY NEED CONCURRENTLY WITH YOUR LIST.

YEAH. AND THE OTHER THE OTHER THING THAT'S COMING TOO IS THAT TEXTA.

WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO GET THE CALL FORWARD TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION IN APRIL, MAY TIME FRAME, AND WE'VE GOT TO MAKE A COMMITMENT TO THAT OR NOT.

WELL, SOMEBODY WERE TO ASK ME THAT, HENDERSON WROTE, IS WE CAN'T LOSE SIGHT OF HENDERSON ROAD.

THAT HAS GOT TO BE FIRST AND FOREMOST JUST THE THE VOLUME THAT FROM ALL THE RESIDENTS TALKING.

THE ONE ROAD THAT THEY TALK ABOUT THE MOST IS HENDERSON YES IT'S NOT ON THE FIRST ONE THAT HATES TO BE SPENDING OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY.

OKAY. WHICH IS WHAT I'M DOING UP HERE AS A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER.

BUT HENDERSON ROAD IS ONE THAT YOU'RE JUST I FEEL LIKE WE JUST NEED TO TAKE THE HEAT AND SOMEHOW OR ANOTHER GET IT GOING.

IT'S IT. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS FOR A LONG TOO LONG.

IT'S GOT TO BE NUMBER ONE NOT, Y'ALL KNOW, NOT OUR PREDECESSORS.

JUST SOME THOUGHTS THAT I HAVE ON THAT, THOUGH.

I AGREE WITH WHAT JOHN IS SAYING AND I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

MY MY.

ON THE FINANCING PORTION OF IT, THE FINANCE PORTION OF IT.

IF WE START ONE OF THESE OTHER PROJECTS, BUT WE DON'T CONSUME ALL THAT $6 MILLION, THEN WE YOU KNOW, WE CAN HAVE THOSE THAT IN RESERVE.

YEAH. ON THE OTHER HAND, IF IT'S TWO TO 3 TO 4 TO WHATEVER, AND WE'LL FIND OUT WHAT OUR, YOU KNOW, OUR BOND CAPACITY IS, WE COVER THAT.

[00:40:03]

YOU KNOW, I'M JUST BEING IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE DEALS THAT IT'S ONE OF THOSE IF IT COMES ALONG, CATCH LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE, TAKE A LITTLE HEAT.

BUT IN THE END, I THINK EVERYBODY WILL BE IF THEY'RE IF THEY'RE COMPLAINING THAT MUCH, I WOULD HAVE A TOUGH TIME BELIEVING THEY WOULD ALSO COMPLAIN THAT THEY'RE SPENDING A LITTLE MORE THAN TAX DOLLARS.

SO OF COURSE, PEOPLE ALWAYS COMPLAIN, WE KNOW THAT.

BUT I DO IT TOO.

SO. SO COUNCIL, DO I HAVE A MOTION ON SIX? I'LL MAKE A MOTION. WE AWARD THIS CONTRACT TO MATULA AND MATULA.

SECOND NOT TO EXCEED.

SHOULD WE HAVE SOMETHING TO INCLUDE THE.

TYPE OF. WELL AS RECOMMENDED FOR ANY AMOUNT OF $1,519,185.90.

YEP. SO I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN BOOTH, SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN DANIEL TO APPROVE THE CONTRACT TO METULA METULA IN THE SUGGESTED AMOUNT OF 1.5 MILLION.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? CALL FOR THE VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES.

OKAY. JOHN, DID YOU.

THE FINAL TALLY ON THE ON THE ON THE FIRST HALF, DID WE SAY SAVE ANY MONEY THERE OR SPEND ALL THE.

WE GOT A LITTLE LEFT OVER IN THE CONTRACT I BELIEVE SO.

WE'LL GO BACK INTO OUR POCKET.

YEAH. OKAY. YEAH, WE'VE BEEN REALLY FOCUSED ON KEEPING EVERYTHING AS TIGHT AS WE CAN.

SO, YEAH, THERE'S JUST.

SO WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT.

I JUST WANT MAKE AN OPENING COMMENT WHILE WE'RE STILL ON THIS BOARD.

YOU GUYS AND GALS SO DETAILED THE TYPE OF CONTRACT THAT WE GO INTO WITH.

THE STREET PROJECTS AND SUCH CALLED UNIT PRICE CONTRACTS.

AND AT THE END OF THE PROJECT EVERYTHING IS TOTALED UP EVERY.

WORK ITEM IS TOTALED UP.

AT THE UNIT PRICE FOR EACH WORK ITEM AND ALL THAT.

ALL THOSE SUMS COME TOGETHER AND THAT'S WHAT THE CONTRACTOR GETS PAID.

SO THIS 1.5 COULD POSSIBLY GO UP A FEW DOLLARS BECAUSE HE SPENT DID MORE THAN WHAT WAS ESTIMATED OR LIKE ON THE PROJECT. WE HAVE SOME OF THE QUANTITIES WERE A LITTLE BIT REDUCED FROM WHAT WHAT THE ESTIMATE ESTIMATES WERE.

SO IN OUR CONTRACTS, WE ALSO ESTABLISH SUPPLEMENTAL ITEMS, ITEMS THAT COULD POSSIBLY COME UP THAT ARE PART OF THIS.

AND IF WE DON'T USE THEM, THEY'RE PULLED BACK OUT.

SO THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF THE SAVINGS IS AND THAT'S WHERE WE'RE ABLE TO HAVE MONEY IN THE CONTRACT WHERE WHEN WE DO A CHANGE ORDER, WE CAN MANIPULATE THAT FUNDS AROUND TO WHERE IT'S NOT AN INCREASE IN THE TOTAL CONTRACT.

YEAH. SOMETIMES YOU THROW IN A LITTLE FRAIDY CAT ATOMS IN CASE WE HIT SOMETHING WE MIGHT WANT TO BE ABLE TO PAY FOR IT.

SO IF YOU DON'T DO THAT, THEN YOU KNOW YOU'RE SPENDING MONEY.

ALL RIGHT. DO YOU WANT ME TO READ IT AND THEN NOT? YES. AND I COULD SAY SOMETHING.

CAN YOU. THAT'S FINE.

OKAY. YOU JUST TABLE IT OR I JUST LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING FIRST BEFORE WE.

YEAH, I KNOW, BUT I'M SAYING. ALL RIGHT.
