Mar 14, 2023 City Council

>> BUT IT WOULD JUST BE AN ODD BALL STANDING OUT IN MY OPINION, MY OPINION ONLY TO HAVE A SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF THERE.

I'M SURE FOLKS, YOU GO TO WALK TO THIS PLACE.

IT SOUNDS VERY ENTICING.

SOMETHING THAT RESIDENTS HAVE ASKED FOR.

FOOD TRUCKS, WHICH WE DO HAVE ONE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN AS WELL THAT JUST POPPED UP. THAT'S OFF AND RUNNING.

LIKE MAYOR PRO-TEM WRIGHT SAID, WE HAVE A FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBER WHO IS ALL ABOUT THE SIDEWALK.

WE GET SOME OF THOSE PROS AND CONS AND HE WOULD SAY, PROBABLY MOVE FORWARD WITH THE SIDEWALK. I'M JUST SAYING.

[LAUGHTER]

>> THIS IS ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR THE FOOD TRUCK PARK.

I WILL SAY THE OWNER HAS COMPLY WITH OUR CURRENT LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AS IT RELATES TO PAVING, PARKING, LANDSCAPING, AND WHAT HAVE YOU SO THE USE, I THINK WILL BE A POSITIVE FOR THE AREA.

THIS IS JUST ONE LAST MINUTE REQUIREMENT OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU, OTIS?

>> WOULD THE SIDEWALK FOLLOW,

[00:30:01]

SINCE IT'S ON TXDOT FRONTAGE, WOULD IT HAVE A DIFFERENT REQUIREMENT THAN WHAT IT WOULD IF IT WAS ON A CITY STREET FOR A SIDEWALK WIDTH?

>> I DON'T HAVE THE STATE STANDARDS WITH ME, BUT ANY WORK WITHIN THEIR RIGHT-OF-WAY, OF COURSE, WOULD HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THEIR STANDARDS OR ANY WORK WITH THE MEETING.

>> HERE COMES MR. PETERSON?

>> I THINK HE HAS THE ANSWER.

>> HE MADE THAT.

>> ANY WORK THAT'S DONE IN THE TXDOT ROUTE WILL HAVE TO BE COMPLIANT WITH TDLR, TEXAS LICENSED DEPARTMENT REGULATIONS.

>> WHAT'S THE LENGTH OF TIME THAT THEY WOULD TAKE TO GET UP AND RUNNING IF THEY HAD TO DO THIS?

>> IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW BUSY TXDOT.

>> WE KNOW TXDOT.

>> YEAH. IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT THE SOONER YOU GET IT GOING, THE LAG TIME IS LESS AND LESS.

>> I FEEL LIKE THAT'S MORE OF A HARDSHIP.

>> BUT IS THERE CHALLENGES OUT OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE, IS THERE STIFFER OR MUCH STRINGENT REQUIREMENTS THAN WHAT MAYBE WE HAVE IN THE CITY VERSUS THE TXDOT?

>> TO MY KNOWLEDGE, NO. TYPICALLY, YOUR ADA IS YOU GOT TO BE FOUR FOOT WIDE, MINIMUM, EVERY 200 FEET AT THAT POINT, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A FIVE-BY-FIVE TURNAROUND PATH.

THAT'S WHY YOU ALWAYS SEE SIDEWALKS NOW WITH FIVE FOOT WIDE, SO YOU DON'T HAVE A PATH EVERY 200 FEET.

IT'S JUST FIVE FOOT WIDE.

NOW IF YOU WANT IT TO BE A SHARED PATH TO WHERE YOU CAN GET BICYCLES ONTO IT, YOU NEED TO GO AT LEAST A MINIMUM EIGHT-FOOT WIDE AS A SHARED PATH.

TEN FOOT IS WHAT'S OPTIMAL, JUST SO THAT PEOPLE DON'T GET RAN OVER BY BICYCLIST.

BUT IT'S ALL DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU WANT AND THE MOBILITY YOU'RE TRYING TO IMPROVE IN THE AREA.

>> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, SIR.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT.

COUNCIL, ANYMORE QUESTIONS FOR OTIS? IT IS A POSSIBLE ACTION ITEM.

>> MR. MAYOR, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE VARIANCE OF THE SIDEWALK REQUIREMENT FOR THE TITANS SNOW CRUSH FOOD TRUCK PARK LOCATED SOUTH HIGHWAY 35 SOUTH OF HOSPITAL DRIVE.

>> SECOND.

>> MOTION BY MAYOR PRO-TEM WRIGHT.

SECOND BY COUNCILMAN GONGORA.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION?

>> I JUST FEEL LIKE IT'S WRONG TO REQUIRE THIS AT THE MOMENT AND REQUIRE THEM TO GO TO THE TXDOT ISSUES.

I THINK WHENEVER YOU CAN SEE IN FRONT OF CHILI'S, IN FRONT OF STARBUCKS AND I COULD PROBABLY GO ON ALL THE DIFFERENT PLACES WHERE WE HAVE SIDEWALKS THAT JUST STOP AND THEY'VE ALL BEEN PUT IN, BUT NO CONTINUITY OR PLAN FOR THE FUTURE.

>> THANK YOU, SIR. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? HEARING NONE, I'LL CALL FOR THE VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

>> AYE.

>> ALL THOSE OPPOSED, SAME SIGN.

THAT MOTION CARRIES.

VARIANCE IS GRANTED.

[6. Discussion, and possible action on a Development Agreement (D.A.) for Ashland Development located north of Anchor Rd., East of FM521, and west of SH 288, ANGLETON, TEXAS, between the City of Angleton and ANCHOR HOLDINGS MP, LLC and WILDROCK HOLDINGS, LLC for approximately 879.9 acres of land located in the City’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (“ETJ”).]

ITEM NUMBER SIX, DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION ON A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, ALSO KNOWN AS A DA FOR ASHLAND DEVELOPMENT LOCATED NORTH OF ANCHOR ROAD, EAST OF FM 521 AND WEST OF SOUTH HIGHWAY 288 ANGLETON, TEXAS, BETWEEN THE CITY OF ANGLETON AND ANCHOR HOLDINGS, MP, LLC AND WILD ROCK HOLDINGS, LLC, FOR APPROXIMATELY 879.9 ACRES OF LAND LOCATED IN THE CITY'S EXTRA TERRITORIAL JURISDICTION, ALSO KNOWN AS ETJ. MR. OTIS.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THIS IS AN UPDATE FOR INFORMATION ONLY REGARDING THE ASHLAND DEVELOPMENT AS DESCRIBED AND THE LOCATION THAT'S BEEN DESCRIBED BEFORE YOU.

WE WANTED TO UPDATE THE COUNCIL THAT STAFF, OF COURSE, THE ENGINEERING TEAM, PUBLIC WORKS, PARKS, AND THE SENIOR LEADERSHIP STAFF WITH LEGAL HAS BEEN MEETING WITH THE ASHLAND DEVELOPMENT GROUP AS YOU KNOW, FOR A NUMBER OF MONTHS NOW.

AS OF RECENT, AND AT THE BEGINNING OF MARCH, WE HIGHLIGHTED THE MOST RECENT DISCUSSIONS IN WHICH WE'VE BEEN REVIEWING THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

SEVERAL RENDITIONS OR EDITS HAVE BEEN DONE.

A VERSION OF THE DOCUMENT HAD BEEN DONE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE NOT COPIED YOU ON THE DOCUMENT DUE TO SOME ONGOING DISCUSSIONS.

WHAT WE WANTED TO DO IS JUST, NUMBER 1, UPDATE YOU ON THE TIMELINE WHERE WE ARE IN THE DOCUMENT AND THEN WHAT ARE SOME OF THE TOUCH POINTS THAT WE MIGHT NEED SOME LAST MINUTE FEEDBACK FROM YOU.

I WILL GO OVER A COUPLE OF ITEMS. THEN LEGAL WILL TOUCH UPON SOME OF THE VERY IMPORTANT, I GUESS, CAVEATS WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

AS NOTED, WE MET WITH THEM I THINK IT WAS ON THE THIRD OF THE MONTH.

WE'D HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH THEM.

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ON YOUR MARCH AGENDA, BUT DUE TO LIKE I STATED, THERE WERE SOME ISSUES IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT WE FELT NEEDED MUCH ATTENTION LIKE PARKS, THE PARKLAND DEDICATION.

THEY WENT BACK AND ACTUALLY LISTEN TO SOME OF YOUR FEEDBACK IN PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS.

[00:35:06]

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THEY COMPLY WITH THE PARKLAND DEDICATION.

YOU'VE BEEN TOLD IN TERMS OF WHAT THE MINIMALS WOULD BE IN TERMS OF BASED ON THE ACREAGE, THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE US, I THINK A MINIMUM OF 10.4 ACRES FOR A CITY PARK.

THE AMENITIES HAVE ALL BEEN OUTLINED BY THE PARKS DIRECTOR WITH THE [NOISE] DEVELOPERS.

THEY HAVE GONE AND TWEAK THE DOCUMENT TO REFLECT THAT, BUT WE'RE WAITING ON THE RETURN OF THE PARKS DIRECTOR TO FINALLY APPROVE THOSE.

OF COURSE, PARALEGAL WILL MAKE SURE THAT THEY'VE DONE IT.

AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN, THEY'VE ALSO BEEN LOCATED SOME OF THE AMENITIES THAT YOU'RE AWARE SUCH AS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SITE, WHICH WOULD BE 1.5 ACRES, THE WATER PROCESSING PLANT AT 2.8 ACRES.

THEN THE OTHER SITES, SUCH AS THE SCHOOL SITES ARE ALL LOCATED ON THE UPDATED PLAN.

WE WILL OF COURSE, LET YOU KNOW THAT THEY HAVE MET WITH THE COUNTY AND SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT WERE ADDRESSED THIS EVENING ARE CURRENTLY BEING DISCUSSED AND HAVE BEEN SHARED BACK WITH THE CITY.

WE'RE COORDINATING WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT DEALING WITH SOME OF THOSE ENFORCEMENT CONCERNS OUT IN THE ETJ.

I WILL SAY THAT THERE ARE NUMBER OF THINGS ON THE LAND USE AND ZONING SIDE THAT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES STAFF IS SPECIFICALLY WORKING ON IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

WE HAVE GONE BACK AND FORTH IN TERMS OF DESIGN STANDARDS THAT WE FEEL ARE IMPORTANT, THAT ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED IN THE ETJ WITH THE DEVELOPMENT WITH AGREEMENT, WE FELT THAT SUCH THINGS AS LOT SIZE CONCERNS, THE LOT MIXED NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE TEAM.

THEY HAVE PUT IN PROVISIONS TO GIVE US A DESIGN GUIDELINE BOOK WHICH WILL OUTLINE SPECIFICALLY WHAT NEEDS TO OCCUR IN THE COMMERCIAL AREA.

THEN THERE ARE SOME CAVEATS IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT SAID, HEY, THE CITY WOULD NOT REQUIRE PERMITS OR MAY NOT REQUIRE ANY PERMITS IN THE ETJ.

BUT HOWEVER, IT IS A PART OF THIS DOCUMENT.

WE FEEL IT'S NECESSARY THAT THERE IS SOME OVERSIGHT FROM THE RESIDENTIAL PERMITTING STANDPOINT AND THEN ON THE COMMERCIAL, AND WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT THE INSTANCES WHERE THE COMMERCIAL IS ANNEX BY LIMIT.

LIMIT TO ANNEXATION AGREEMENTS THAT THEY WOULD ALLOW US AN OPPORTUNITY TO TO HAVE OVERSIGHT ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE AS WELL.

I AM GOING TO HALT TO ALLOW LEGAL TO RUN THROUGH SOME THINGS.

BUT IN TERMS OF THE SIGNAGE, WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE OVERSIGHT OVER SIGNAGE CONTROLS AND SUCH.

LEGAL OUT, JUDITH, IF YOU DON'T MIND STEPPING IN AND WE'LL GO BACK AND FORTH TO MAKE SURE WE COVER ALL THE TOUCH POINTS THAT WE NEED FEEDBACK ON SUCH AS LOT SIZE AND MIX.

>> TO FOLLOW UP WITH THAT, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR FIRST DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT

>> APRIL 1ST.

>> IT'S OVER AS OF 4TH. THAT FRIDAY, MARCH 3RD [INAUDIBLE] EVERYONE. I THOUGHT IT WAS [INAUDIBLE] A LOT OF THE KEY ISSUES THAT THE CITY DRAW THE DEVELOPER WAS [INAUDIBLE] AND A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WE WENT BACK AND REVISED. FORTUNATELY, IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE EVERYONE. BUT I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS I'D LIKE THAT IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH IT. THEY WENT BACK TO THE TABLE AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS ALL RIGHT. FOR NOW. I DON'T THINK THAT THEY ARE 0.20 487. AND MR. LIEDER IS NO LONGER THERE, BUT THE DEVELOPER DID NEED. BUT ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I DIDN'T GET THE DEVELOPMENT NIGHT IS BECAUSE AFTER THEY END UP SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU'VE HEARD, FIREWORKS, GUNS SHOOTING UP IN THE AIR. THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT BUT THERE'S SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT IN DEVELOPMENT OF THAT. IN OUR CODE, WE HAVE 13 LEADS TO THE CONCEPT THAT YOU WOULDN'T GET THE AUTHORITY TO ENFORCE THE ORDINANCE. WHICH OF COURSE THEN THE NEXT QUESTION. I'M GOING TO READ THAT TO DEVELOPMENT. THE COMMISSIONER WAS TALKING ABOUT FUNDING A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO WORK OUT RIGHT NOW. BUT I HEARD FROM THE DEVELOPER THAT ONCE THEY HAD 1000 ON GROUND, THEY WOULD FIND ONE ANGLE TO THE POLICE OFFICER. I'M NOT REALLY SURE. I HAVEN'T YET. [BACKGROUND] I DON'T SEE ACHIEVEMENT THOUGH IT COULD BE THAT OVER ONE THERE. THEN IF I DON'T KNOW, BUT IT'S NOT. SO I AM HEARING FROM THE DEVELOPER THAT SOUNDS GOOD, FUN, BRASS TACKS CORRELATION. WHETHER ONE THAT'S ONGOING. ATTORNEY, DEVELOPER. SO I WILL DO MY COMMENTS ON SOME OF THE LANGUAGE, WILL GO BACK TO THE COORDINATES NEXT WEEK. BUT I'D LIKE YOU TO COVER LISTENING. I DON'T THINK SO, A THOUSAND, WHENEVER THOSE ANNOUNCEMENTS COME. I DON'T THINK SO. THAT'S ONE. NOW, I DO HAVE IT. [BACKGROUND] ON YOUR WAY. BY THE AGE OF EIGHT ISN'T PROPERLY OPERATE. BASICALLY, HORSE WHATEVER. I REALIZE THAT WAS DIFFICULTY WHEREVER YOUR PACK THAT WE'VE GOT SEDENTARY BUT I'M STANDING AT THE LEVEL. ON THE MIX, WE WERE TOLD IN THE DEVELOPMENT MEETING THAT AT LEAST THREE DIFFERENT PRODUCTS THAT THEY OFFER. AWESOME. I HEARD SOME EXPRESSION IN THAT MEETING THAT WAS COMMUNICATED LAST. HOWEVER, WHEN I GOT THE DEVELOPMENT OF HUMAN FACTORS, WE'VE GOT 55.1 FOOT ON TRADITION AND THE DEVELOPER MINIMUM THRESHOLD OF 10%. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR RIGHT NOW, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF DIVIDENDS, THEY ARE SAYING THAT MAKES IT HOUSING, THAT WILL DEVELOP IS 10%, 50%, 55 FOOT LINES, 10% NOT THOUGHT ABOUT THAT. AND THAT'S WHAT THEY DID. THEN THE OTHER THING IS THEY PUT INSUFFICIENT AT DEVELOPER PROMISES UNITY. FORTUNATELY. BUT I THINK EVERYBODY IS AWARE THAT WE ARE GOING TO EVER GET THERE. [COUGHING]BUT THEN THE OTHER THING IS ON THE ELEMENT.[COUGHING] ONE CITY COUNCIL FOLLOWING UP OF WHAT YOU'RE SO WE ARE GOING BACK-AND-FORTH IN MANY YEARS TO MAKE SURE THAT COMMERCIAL GOODS, AND I'M NOT SURE WHERE WE STARTED, BUT WE BRED THREE YEARS. THEN I MOVED BACK TO SIX. AND THEN NOTICE THAT DUAL LESS THAN FIVE.NOW WE'RE AT FOUR. SO WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THAT. I'M DEFINITELY I WOULD LIKE. HAVING SAID THAT, HERE'S AN ARTICLE.

[00:45:24]

>>ON THE FIRST PLOT.

[00:45:26]

>> RIGHT. WHEREAS THE TIME PERIOD IN THIS COLUMN AND GETTING BACK, ASHLEY, [BACKGROUND]OOH, I WOULD LIKE SOMETHING ABOUT THAT BECAUSE I'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO SHARE THAT, AND WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT THAT.

>> JUDITH LISTENING TO YOU, THERE ALL CAME UP 100 PERCENT [LAUGHTER] 10,10 AND 10,10 IS 40.

>> MINIMUMS.

>> MINIMUM.

>> THAT'S PRETTY GRAY STILL I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT.

>> MEANS 70% COULD BE 50-FOOT LOTS.

>> THERE IS A 60 PLUS JUDITH, AND I WILL SAY THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN GET BACK WITH HIM TO HAVE ANOTHER CATEGORY OF 70 PERCENT AT LEAST.

BECAUSE THEY DO HAVE 60 PLUS ON THAT.

>> YEAH, THEY HAVE THE 10 PERCENT. [INAUDIBLE]

>> EXACTLY.

>> BECAUSE APPARENTLY [INAUDIBLE] DEVELOPER THERE ISN'T.

>> ONE BUILD.

>> YOU SAY 10, BUT THE FIRST SLIDE SHOWS 70, 39%, 60, 54%, 50.

HOWEVER, THAT'S THE FIRST SLIDE.

THE SECOND SLIDE CHANGES.

SUDDENLY THE JUNIOR HIGH AND THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL GET MOVED IN THE SECOND ONE, THEY WE'RE ON THE WEST SIDE AND NOW THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN THE MIDDLE OR TOWARDS THE EAST SIDE AND NOW WE'RE THE HIGH SCHOOL OR JUNIOR HIGH AND THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ARE ARE NOW MORE RESIDENTIAL, SO THAT CHANGED THERE, AND THEN I CAN'T READ ALL THESE BECAUSE THEY PUT NOTES OVER SOME OF THESE, SO YOU CAN'T SEE THE SIZE OF THE LOTS ON ALL OF THEM, SO THAT WAS MY OTHER ISSUE.

MY FEEDBACK ON THE OFFICERS IS AFTER 500 HOMES, THEY SHOULD HAVE AN OFFICER AND YOU CAN'T EXPECT ONE OFFICER TO COVER A 24 HOUR SHIFTS.

REALLY AND TRULY, IT SHOULD BE A DAY AND AT NIGHT.

I'M GLAD LUKE IS SHAKING HIS HEAD BACK THERE.

THE OTHER ONE WAS THE STREET THAT WAS COMING UP IN HERE.

I WAS SITTING THERE COUNTING UP ALL THE HOUSES AND THERE'S 400 HOUSES, I THINK TOTAL ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT ARE ALL GOING TO UTILIZE ONE SMALL ROAD BECAUSE THEY GO BOULEVARD IN AND THEY GO SINGLE ROAD ALL THE WAY TO THE MAIN ROAD AGAIN, I FEEL LIKE THAT'S CUTTING A CORNER.

THAT SHOULD BE A LITTLE BIT, EVEN IF IT'S NOT DIVIDED LIKE THAT, IT NEEDS TO BE A LITTLE BIT WIDER SO THEY HAVE TRAFFIC FLOW, AND I'M NOT REALLY THINKING BECAUSE IT'S A MUD, I'M THINKING ABOUT THE LONG-TERM RAMIFICATIONS FOR THE CITY.

BECAUSE EVENTUALLY, IT WILL BE IN A CITY AND IT'S GOING TO BE OUR PROBLEM.

WHAT ELSE DO I HAVE WRITTEN DOWN? THE PLATTING.

ARE THEY GOING TO COME EACH TIME WITH [OVERLAPPING] A NEW PLAT TO US THROUGH THIS DEVELOPMENT?

>> YES. WE WILL GO THROUGH PRELIMINARY STAGES, FINAL STAGE PLATTING, AND EVERYTHING IS CONTINGENT UPON THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

>> BECAUSE I REALLY WOULD LIKE SOME CLARITY ON THE SCHOOL THING BECAUSE IN ONE OF THE SLIDES THAT JUNIOR HIGH POPS BACK UP AGAIN, BUT IT'S NOT IN THE SAME PLACE IT WAS BEFORE?

>> YES. IT'S A DUAL SITE.

>> IS JUNIOR HIGH, ELEMENTARY GOING TO BE TOGETHER NOW?

>> THEY'RE RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER.

>> ON THE WEST SIDE, RIGHT? [OVERLAPPING]

>> HI, I'M CAITLIN KING I WAS METHOD PLANNING AND DESIGN, WORKING WITH ASHYLN AND GRAY ON THE PROJECT.

I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHICH SLIDE THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT.

INITIALLY, THE JUNIOR HIGH AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LOCATION WAS MORE WESTERN, BUT IN CONVERSATIONS WITH ANGLETON ISD THEY HAVE REQUESTED THAT IT MOVES TO THE NORTHWEST CORNER.

THAT'S WHY IN OLDER VERSIONS, IT MAY BE TOWARDS THE SOUTH OF THE PROPERTY, BUT ONCE WE BEGAN FURTHER CONVERSATIONS, THEY HAD REQUESTED THE MORE IDEAL LOCATION.

>> THE ONE OTIS JUST TOLD ME IS ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER WHERE ORIGINALLY IT WAS?

[00:50:04]

>> BUT THEN YOU'RE TELLING ME AND I SEE THAT ON THE SECOND ONE THAT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS NOW MORE TO THE NORTHEAST, JUST OUTSIDE OF THE CIRCLE, I GUESS ON THE RIGHT SIDE.

THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING AT HERE.

>> THE SLIDE WE'RE LOOKING AT IT'S CALLED THE GREEN BELT NORTH, AND IT SHOWS THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THAT SLIDE?

>> ARE YOU THE LABELS WITH PROPOSED ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND PROPOSED JUNIOR HIGH? IT'S ONE SITE NOW AS OPPOSED TO TWO, WE MOVED THE STREET DOWN, SO IT'S ONE LARGE TRACK AS OPPOSED TO TWO SMALLER TRACTS.

>> CAN WE UPDATE THAT TO SAY ELEMENTARY/ JUNIOR HIGH SO WE KNOW THAT THEY'RE BOTH STILL THERE.

>> IF IT JUST SAYS SCHOOL SITE WILL MAKE SURE.

>> IT SAYS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, THAT'S ALL IT SAYS.

>> YES, WE'LL UPDATE THAT.

>> IT'S NOW ON THE EASTERN SIDE.

>> NORTHWEST. IT SHOULD BE NORTHWEST. SORRY.

>> THE LATEST AND GREATEST.

>> THIS ONE RIGHT HERE.

>> FIVE TWENTY ONE IS THE WEST 28 TO EAST, IT'S OVER HERE. IT'S RIGHT THERE.

>> THAT'S THE EARLIER VERSION.

>> THAT'S WHAT I HAVE IN FRONT OF ME.

>> THAT MAY HAVE BEEN AN OUTDATED VERSION.

ADDITIONALLY, I BELIEVE OUR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT PREPARED THAT, SO IT MAY HAVE JUST BEEN A LABELING ISSUE ON HIS PART.

THE COLOR DRAWING THAT YOU HAVE RIGHT IN FRONT, THAT IS THE MOST CURRENT LOCATION OF IT AND THAT IS THE LOCATION THAT THE SCHOOL IS MOVING FORWARD WITH.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THAT WHATEVER WE GET PRESENTED TO US IN THE PACKET BE WHAT WE TALK ABOUT THE NAIVE COUNSEL.

I'LL THINK THAT'S FAIR TO ALL OF US UP HERE.

WE KNOW WHEN CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS ARE GOING TO BE HELD, AND WE KNOW THE DEADLINE FOR EACH CITY COUNCIL MEETING, THAT'S NOT A SURPRISE.

IT'S EASIER TO TALK WITH EVERYBODY LOOKING AT THE SAME SONG SHEET.

>> WE'LL BE SURE FORWARD.

JUST WE HAD LAST MINUTE CONVERSATIONS WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE.

>> MOVING, I KNOW WHAT HAPPENS AT LAST MINUTE TO BITE YOU IN THE BACK.

>> BECAUSE WHAT'S IN OUR PACKETS DATED OCTOBER 7, 2022 AND THIS WAS DATED MARCH 8TH, 2023.

IT WAS JUST NOT FITTING THE PACKET.

MOST CURRENT VERSION WAS PUT THAT AWAY.

>> WHILE YOU'RE UP THERE. CAN YOU ADDRESS THE STREET COMMENT THAT I HAD, ABOUT THE STREET WIDTH ON THE SOUTH.

>> I SEE OUT THERE JUST LIKE COULD SEE EXACTLY WHAT [OVERLAPPING].

>> VERSION UP THERE.

>> IF YOU LOOK IN HERE, THIS WILL ROUTE THAT GOES AROUND HERE, WE'VE BOULEVARD COMING IN HERE, THE BOULEVARD ON THIS ROAD.

ALL THESE SUBDIVISIONS OF DEVELOPMENT PHASES. THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING.

>> I WOULD HOPE THAT ALL THOSE STREET WIDTHS AND SUCH ARE DRIVEN BY OUR LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AND DESIGN STANDARDS THAT, IF YOU'RE CLASSIFIED AS A BOULEVARD, CLASSIFY AS A COLLECTOR, IF THERE MAJOR COLLECTOR, MINOR COLLECTOR, YADDA YADDA YADDA, THAT DRIVES THE WIDTH OF THE STREET, NOT THE PICTURE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT HERE.

>> IT WILL BE A COLLECTOR THROUGHOUT.

IT WILL IT WON'T JUST BE ONE LANE, I BELIEVE IT WILL BE MORE OF A BOULEVARD STYLE.

IT WILL BE THE SAME RIGHT-OF-WAY THROUGHOUT.

IT MAY JUST DEPICTION.

IT MAY HAVE NOT COME ACROSS AS ACCURATELY, BUT IT IS A COLLECTOR THROUGHOUT.

>> I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I ASKED THE QUESTION BECAUSE WE'D BEEN BIT BEFORE.

>> YES. ALL OF THE ROADS SHOWN ARE COLLECTORS ON THE CONCEPT.

>> GREAT.

>> ARE WE GOING TO DEFINE WHERE THE COMMERCIAL SIDE IS, WHAT SECTIONS ARE GOING TO BE COMMERCIAL?

>> THAT'D BE SECTION 11 [INAUDIBLE]

>> SPECIFICALLY ON THE HARD COPY PLAYING YOU HAVE, IT WOULD BE WHAT'S TO THE IMMEDIATE EAST OF THE SITE ALONG 288, SO INSTEAD OF TO THE BOTTOM PORTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT, SO THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED SOUTH AND EAST.

ALONG THAT 288 FRONTAGE IS WHAT WE ARE QUESTIONING, THE NUMBER OF YEARS IN WHICH THEY WOULD CONSIDER RESIDENTIAL VERSUS COMMERCIAL IF IT EXCEEDS A NUMBER OF YEARS.

>> JUST FOR CLARITY, SECTION 12B.

>> NINETEEN, 18 AND.17.

>> WHERE IT'S SECTION 16 WOULD BE, AND THEN ALONG THAT PROPOSED COLLECTOR,

[00:55:02]

YOU SEE SOME SPECIALTY AND COMMERCIAL AS WELL NEAR THE WATER PLANT ON THAT DOCUMENT THAT YOU HAVE, WHICH IS THE LATEST AND GREATEST.

SO EVERYTHING TOWARD THAT EAST AND SOUTH PORTION COULD.

THEN WE ALSO KNOW TO CONSOLE THERE POSSIBLY IN THE FUTURE THERE MAY BE OTHER LAND APPENDED TO THIS DEVELOPMENT, SO WE'RE MAKING SURE THAT THAT WOULD BE UNDER THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES OF WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING RIGHT NOW.

>> WHAT'S THE LIFESPAN OF THIS DEVELOPMENT, THIS MINE, BEFORE IT GETS ANNEXED?

>> TWENTY FIVE YEARS.

>> CAN THEY COME BEFORE THAT?

>> BUT IN 20 YEARS, COULD THEY COME AND ASK FOR AN EXCEPTION OR DOES IT HAVE TO BE 25 PLUS OR?

>> I'M CERTAIN THAT WE COULD [INAUDIBLE] WELL, I'M JUST NORMALLY, I DON'T KNOW, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE [INAUDIBLE]

>> THEY WANT TO GET [INAUDIBLE].

>> DOES THAT CLOCK START FROM WHEN THEY START THEIR FIRST YEAR OF COLLECTION?

>> I GUESS.

>> OKAY. THE AGREEMENT, OKAY.

>> AS COMMISSIONER COMMENT AND I JUST WANT TO GET SOME CLARITY ON THAT AROUND DEED RESTRICTIONS AND PLATTING.

ARE THERE ANY DEED RESTRICTIONS THAT CAN BE PLACED IN ON OUR CITY ORDINANCES THAT WE CAN PLACE IN THEIR DEED RESTRICTIONS?

>> WELL, SO THAT IS EXACTLY [INAUDIBLE] RIGHT NOW [INAUDIBLE].

WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IS [INAUDIBLE]

>> BUT WE DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN ENFORCE THAT YET, DO WE?

>> WELL, WE COULD, THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF THE DEVELOPMENT, YOU COULD PUT IT IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, WE ARE GOING TO ENFORCE WHATEVER WE AGREE WITH.

>> IN AN ETJ.

>> IN THE ETJ BY WOMEN, THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT COURT ALLOWS US TO DO THAT.

THEN THE SECONDARY COMPONENT [INAUDIBLE] SO IT'S GREAT THAT WE HAVE IT IN THERE.

>> SO MY QUESTION WOULD BE ALL THE DEVELOPMENT, THE TEMPERATURE OF THE NORTH ARE HERE, THEY'VE NOT GONE OVER SOME OF THESE HURDLES THAT WE CAN ASK THEM, BECAUSE I'VE HEARD THEM SAY WE HAVE FOUR CONSTABLES IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD OR WELL, I'VE HEARD THEM SAY, WE'RE HERE WE'RE THE ETJ WERE NOT PART OF MAN WAR, WE'RE NOT PART OF OUR COLONY, BUT THERE ARE SUBDIVISIONS UP THERE.

IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE GOING DOWN A ROAD THAT SOMEBODY WHO MAY BE READY TO CREATE A MAP SOMEWHERE.

SO CAN WE REACH OUT TO THOSE FOLKS AND WE GET PUBLIC RECORD IF IT'S THERE DEVELOPERS AGREEMENT OUT THERE? WE CAN GET AND ASK THE QUESTION OR CALL THEIR CITY MANAGERS AND SAY, WHAT HAVE YOU ALL DONE UP NORTH? BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY EITHER WE'RE NOT THE CHILD THAT GETS TO FIX ALL THE MISTAKES OF THOSE PEOPLE FROM THE NORTH OR THEY'VE DONE IT, AND WE'RE BEING TOLD OTHERWISE THAT NO, THEY'VE GOT THEIR OWN THING GOING ON UP THERE, AND THAT'S WHY I'M FRUSTRATED IS HOW ARE WE BEING PUSHED SO HARD AND I GET THE CONCERNS BUT OBVIOUSLY, IT'S WORKING UP THERE SOMEHOW TO THE NORTH.

>> WHAT I KNOW ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON IS THAT HOAS ARE FUNDED, PAY FOR CONSTABLES.

I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY WERE HAVING SOME DISAGREEMENT, WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ARE THE NEGOTIATIONS THAT ARE GOING OVER HOW DO WE PLAN THAT.

IN MOST ETJ DEVELOPMENTS [INAUDIBLE].

>> WE KNOW THAT YOU'RE NOW EXTENT THAT WOULD GO IN, I DO KNOW THAT [INAUDIBLE]

[01:00:10]

>> I'M VERY GLAD THAT YOU'RE WORKING ON EXTENDING OUR ORDINANCES INTO THE ETJ, THAT WAS ONE OF THE ORIGINAL QUESTIONS I HAD AT THAT VERY FIRST MEETING WE HAD WITH THE COUNTY.

COLUMBIA LAKES, THEIR HOA GOT TOGETHER AND EACH HOME OR EACH LOT PAYS $300 A YEAR AND THEY HAVE TWO CONSTABLES AND THEY HAVE ABOUT 1,500 WATTS IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.

BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ASK TO CHIEF LIU BEI LIKE WITH THIS SIZE DEVELOPMENT, HOW MANY OFFICERS DO WE NEED?

>> ISN'T THERE A FORMULA BASED ON POPULATION?

>> IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, A THOUSAND, ONE FOR EVERY THOUSAND,.

>> ONE FOR EVERY THOUSAND?

>> BUT ONE OFFICER OUT THERE I'M JUST THINKING, WHEN YOU GET SOMEBODY WAY OUT THERE, IT'S A POLICE OFFICER, IT'S ONE OFFICER WITH 500 OR 1,000 PEOPLE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SENT SOMEBODY TO BACK THEM UP ONTO THE UNCERTAINTY CALLS AND STUFF LIKE THAT, AND IT'S NOT JUST THE OFFICER BEING FUNDED, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A PATROL UNIT, EQUIPMENT, INSURANCE EVERYDAY AND IT COMES WITH IT.

>> YOU SHAKE YOUR HEAD WHEN I SAID TWO, CAN YOU ELABORATE?

>> WELL, IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE 24-HOUR COVERAGE, YOU'RE GOING TO NEED MORE THAN ONE.

ONE OFFICER CAN'T WORK 24 HOURS A DAY.

>> YOU JUST SAY ONE FTE 24 HOURS A DAY.

>> I JUST THINK THAT ONE IS NOT GOING TO BE ENOUGH TO START WITH, AND THEN I NEED YOU TO GIVE US GUIDANCE ON WHAT WE CAN ENFORCE AND WHAT WE CANT ENFORCE, SO THERE MAY BE BETTER OFF GOING WITH THE CONSTABLE'S DEPARTMENT AND GETTING THEM OUT THERE WITH THE COUNTY JURISDICTIONS.

>> GOT YOU.

>> I'M FOR A GIVING THEM, IF WE CAN, PUTTING OUR FIREWORKS AND FIREARMS OR WHATEVER CITY PROVISIONS IN THAT AGREEMENT SO THAT HOPEFULLY THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN ENFORCE, WHETHER IT'S THE COUNTY, THE ADDITIONAL POLICE OFFICERS DEDICATED THAT OR WHATEVER.

>> THANKS, CHIEF.

BUT I THINK THOSE ARE THE TWO THINGS THAT I KEEP HEARING THE CONVERSATION, ONE IS WE DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DO THAT, THE SECOND IS THE REMAINING PIECE.

>> I DID A LITTLE QUICK MATH, VIA 2,500 HOUSES, I JUST PICKED A NUMBER OF $300,000 VALUE FOR EACH ONE OF THEM EQUALS $750 MILLION.

THERE'S QUITE A SUBSTANTIAL TAX BASE, AND WITH THE COUNTY, THE COMMENTS COMING FROM THE COUNTY, THAT'S A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO HELP FUND THE SHERIFF DEPARTMENT OR CONSTABLES OR WHATEVER.

MOST OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN A SUBDIVISION IS GOING TO BE DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED ACCORDING TO THE ANGLES AND STANDARDS, TEXAS TCE QUEUE STANDARDS AND WILL REQUIRE VERY LITTLE MAINTENANCE ON ANYBODY'S PART FOR THE FIRST 25 YEARS OR SO, SO THERE'S GOING TO BE A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY GENERATED FOR THE COUNTY, JUST OFFER AD VALOREM TAXES.

THEN THESE 2,500 PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE SPENDING THEIR MONEY INTO COUNTY, AND THE COUNTY IS GOING TO HAVE A PERCENT OF EVERY DOLLAR.

THEY'RE GETTING A WHOLE LOT OF FUNDING HERE THAT I JUST WANT THIS TO GET OUT IN THE PUBLIC, SO EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT THIS IS NOT A FREE RIDE.

THERE'S FUNDING OUT THERE JUST DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY ON, I DON'T THINK THE CITY OUT THERE TAKING A WHOLE POLICING PART OF THIS.

IF SO, THEY CAN EASILY GIVE US SOME OF THIS POLICING MONEY THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO DO.

>> THANK YOU, MR. BOOTH. TRYING TO THINK IN THE FUTURE, JUDITH, IF WE MAKE ANY CHANGES TO OUR CODE OF ORDINANCES, WOULD IT AUTOMATICALLY ROLLOVER TO THEM AS WELL? OR ARE WE SAYING THIS IS THE ONE TIME WHEN THEY'RE SETTING UP THE HOA AND THE RULES AND BYLAWS THAT WHEREVER WE CURRENTLY HAVE IS WHAT THEY WILL FOLLOW ANY CHANGES WE MAKE, WE CAN'T PUSH BACK OVER TO THEM. [BACKGROUND]

[01:05:08]

>> WHATEVER CITY ORDINANCE [INAUDIBLE] WEEK 1 JUST DEVELOPMENT TO WEEK 5.

NORMALLY THE DEVELOPER ONCE THAT [INAUDIBLE] I MEAN, I CAN SEE BOTH SIDES OF THAT POINT [INAUDIBLE] THERE'LL BE PROBABLY DIFFICULT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT.

BUT DOING WHAT IT IS, IT DOESN'T MEAN [INAUDIBLE] WE'LL ADD A HIGHLIGHT [INAUDIBLE].

>> RIGHT.

>> I TRIED TO TAKE THAT ON DEVELOPER CAN JUST [INAUDIBLE].

>> I WASN'T [OVERLAPPING].

>> WHENEVER YOU'RE WORRIED [INAUDIBLE].

>> I WOULD REQUEST THAT SOMEHOW YOU PUT THAT IN THERE.

>> THE FEE SCHEDULE WILL APPLY TO THEM.

>> SCHEDULE FEES.

>> [INAUDIBLE] YES.

>> IS THERE ANY ACTION THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TONIGHT?

>> LET'S TRY IT AND SEE IF [OVERLAPPING].

>> THE ONLY OTHER THING I REALLY LIKE [INAUDIBLE].

>> [OVERLAPPING] YEAH. THAT'S ALL JUST THINKING RIGHT NOW.

>> IF YOU SAY FOR EXAMPLE, YOU WANTED TO ADD A 70 FOOT,10 PERCENT THRESHOLD? YEAH, THAT WOULD BE IN MY MIND IS SIGNIFICANT.

>> YEAH, BECAUSE THEY HAD SEVEN PERCENT IN THE VERY FIRST ONE, SO WHAT'S THREE PERCENT MORE?

>> THIS ONE DOESN'T OUTLINE IT.

>> YEAH, THIS THING DOESN'T OUTLINE IT.

>> THE OTHER ONE HAD IT AT THE BOTTOM.

>> I'M JUST GOING BY WHAT THE OCTOBER 2020 JUST SAID.

>> OF COURSE THEY DIDN'T DEFINE 55.

THEY JUST SAID 50, 60, 70.

A MIX OF WHAT YOU PRESENTED PLUS A 70 PROBABLY WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT MORE APPEALING FOR US FOR MOVING FORWARD.

>> I THINK IF YOU ALL SAID THAT YOU WANTED TO [NOISE] PUT AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS CITY STANDARDS, WHETHER IT'S FIREWORKS, OR FIREARMS, OR WHATEVER, AGAIN, ALLOW YOU TO TAKE THAT AND SEE HOW WE CAN IMPLEMENT THAT.

THERE WAS REQUEST TO COUNTY THAT SOMETHING THAT I DON'T SEE WHY THAT'S UNREASONABLE.

>> I AGREE WITH CECIL. I MEAN, I'M ANGLETON RESIDENT, I PAY CITY AND COUNTY TAXES AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE, MY COUNTY TAXES IS REALLY THE OVERLAY PROGRAMS WE DO.

SHERIFF'S OFFICE DOESN'T HAVE ANY INVOLVEMENT.

WE HAVE A LOT OF CITY RESIDENTS PAYING COUNTY TAXES AND SO WHEN THEY SAY THERE'S A MONEY ISSUE, AGAIN, I THINK THAT'S THE COUNTY ISSUE.

ALL THOSE COUNTY RESIDENTS ARE ALL PAYING FOR THEIR OWN SERVICES.

>> I THINK THE OTHER FEEDBACK WE'RE HEARING IS THERE'LL BE AN EXHIBIT D WILL SPECIFICALLY BE THE COMMERCIAL TRACK, SOUNDS LIKE WE WANT TO STICK TO YOUR ORIGINAL RECOMMENDATION, 6 PLUS OR MINUS YEARS.

>> CONSISTENT WITH AUSTIN COLONY.

>> YES. WE'LL, HOLD TO THAT.

>> THE ONLY RESERVATION I HAVE ON THAT NOTICE IS THAT WHEN WE NEGOTIATED THAT WITH AUSTIN COLONY, WE DID THAT BASED OF THE PHASES AND HOW THEY WERE GOING TO MR. RAY'S EXPECTATIONS OF WHEN HE WAS GOING TO DEVELOP.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR EXPECTATION IS.

IS IT SIX YEARS, 10 YEARS? I MEAN, HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE THEM?

>> THEY ARE CURRENTLY ON THE PLANNING AS YOU KNOW IT.

WE WILL BE RECEIVING CIVIL PLANS REAL SOON FOR SOME OF THE LOTS AND USERS IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.

THEY ARE CONTINGENT.

THEY'RE TYING THAT TO OUR DISCUSSIONS WITH THE STATE IN TERMS OF CONNECTIONS AND CONVERSATIONS ABOUT CONNECTING WHERE THE COMMERCIAL WOULD BE MORE AMENABLE ALONE THE INTERSTATE VICINITY.

>> RIGHT.

>> THAT'S CONTINGENT UPON THOSE DISCUSSIONS HAPPENING AND CITY COOPERATING, THE COUNTY COOPERATING, WITH THOSE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE STATE.

>> BECAUSE MR. RAY WAS DOING THE ROAD IN FRONT OF THAT COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS, THAT PIECE OF THAT PLATT.

HE WAS DOING THAT IN HIS FIRST TWO PHASES.

>> CORRECT.

>> HE WOULD HAVE HAD IT TO WHERE SOMEBODY COULD HAVE BUILT AND WRITE THEM.

>> I THINK TYING IT TO DEVELOPMENT VERSUS THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IS MUCH MORE PRUDENT IN THE TIMELINE.

>> BECAUSE YOU COULD PROBABLY EAT IT THAT WHOLE CLOCK BEFORE YOU GET [OVERLAPPING].

>> THAT'S WHAT I'M AFRAID OF.

>> RIGHT.

>> THAT'S WHAT I'M AFRAID OF.

>> ESPECIALLY SINCE IT'S GOING TO BE A GROUP EFFORT BETWEEN US COUNTY, TEXTILES

>> [INAUDIBLE] ROAD AND ALL THE STUFF, YEAH.

[01:10:01]

>> THE MARKET IS GOING TO DRIVE THE DEVELOPMENT.

I MEAN, IT'S TAKING SO MUCH IN FLUX RIGHT NOW.

WE CAN HOPE THAT THIS GETS DEVELOPED THAT IN A CERTAIN.

THEIR GOAL MIGHT BE TO HAVE X YEARS, BUT IF INTEREST RATES KEEP GOING HIGH AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THEN CONSTRUCTION IS GOING TO BACKOFF.

>> I WILL SAY THAT LEGAL AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES HAS NEGOTIATED THEM DOING IT PHASING PLAN, SO YOU WILL ACTUALLY SEE THE TIMELINE FOR THE PARK LANE AND IMPROVEMENTS AND OTHER IMPACTS.

>> AGAIN, MAYBE GO BACK AND TIE IT TO SOME DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE OUT OF THE DEVELOPMENT OUTLINE.

>> I AGREE.

>> I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION ABOUT THE PARKS.

WHO'S GOING TO BE TAKING CARE OF THEM FOR THE NEXT 25 YEARS?

>> CERTAIN FACILITIES WILL BE THE HOA, SUCH AS THEIR COMMUNITY RECREATIONAL CENTER.

BUT HOWEVER, AS I STATED, THE 10 ACRES, THE AMENITIES, DEPENDING ON IF IT SHOULD BE DESIGNED ACCORDING TO OUR PARKS STANDARDS, PARKS DIRECTOR, MEGAN HAS BEEN ADAMANT ABOUT THAT, THEN SOME OF THOSE THINGS MAY BE TURNED OVER TO PARKS AND REC DEPENDING ON THOSE AMENITIES AND COMPLIANCE.

>> OKAY. THANK YOU.

>> DID I HEAR A COMMENT THAT THE PARK LANDS DEDICATED TO THE CITY [OVERLAPPING] IN THE PLANNING PHASE?

>> YEAH, THE ACTUAL 10 ACRE LOT HAS BEEN LOCATED ON THE CONCEPT PLAN IN TERMS OF ITS LOCATION, AND IT'LL BE CALLED OUT IN THE AGREEMENTS AS NOTED, AND ANY LAND DEDICATED WOULD GO THROUGH PROPER PROCESS IS CORRECT, YES.

>> THAT BECOMES THE CITIES.

[OVERLAPPING] IS DEDICATED TO THE CITY ON A PLANT THAT BECOMES THE CITY'S PROPERTY.

UNLESS THERE'S SOME OTHER VERBIAGE IN THERE. I'M I CORRECT?

>> WELL, YES.

>> I'M NOT SURE [INAUDIBLE]

>> THE VERDICT IS NOT OUT ON THE PARKING LANE AS WE NOTED EARLY, AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.

BUT THESE ARE THE DISCUSSIONS, THE LATEST DISCUSSIONS WHERE THE AMENITY IS ON THAT 10 ACRES, I WILL SAY, AND THAT DETAIL IS BEING PUT IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, AND THAT WILL FOLLOW PLATING.

BECAUSE IF YOU RECALL AT FIRST THERE WERE A LOT OF GREENWAYS, THE TENSION AREAS WATERWAYS, WETLANDS THAT THEY HAD NOTED AS PARKLAND, WE BASICALLY SAID, NO, THAT WOULD NOT COMPLY WITH ACTUAL PARKLAND ON DEDICATION.

THEY WENT BACK AND ACTUALLY DENOTED SPECIFICALLY ANY LAND THAT WOULD BE SET ASIDE AS AN ACTUAL PARK.

>> IT IS MY OPINION AS 50, 40, 10.

WE'RE TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING AS A MINIMUM STANDARD OF 60 FOOT, AND THEY'RE GOING IN HALF OF THEIR SUBDIVISIONS IS GOING TO BE 50 ACCORDING TO THE 50 PERCENT I SUGGESTED.

>> ARE YOU SAYING NO MORE THAN 50 PERCENT?

>> NO MORE THAN 50 LOT, NO MORE THAN 40.

THEY CAN HAVE MORE THAN 40 PERCENT, 60 IF THEY DREW DOWN THE 50 SIDE, BUT AT MINIMUM 10 PERCENT, 70.

HOW ARE WE ALL SAY WANT TO BREAK THAT UP, BUT THEY CAN'T GO LESS THAN 40? THAT'S MY OPINION.

>> I'M GOOD WITH THAT, AND THERE NEED TO BE SOME 70S IN THERE SND 10 PERCENT.

>> YEAH. I AGREE.

>> I AGREE.

>> WE'RE NOT GOING TO ASK FOR IN A DECISION, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE THAT THEY'LL BE ABLE TO DO ANY TYPE OF USE, IT'S OUT IN THIS DISTRICT.

THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IS AN OPPORTUNITY THERE.

THERE'S SOME UNDESIRABLE USES, WE'LL GO BACK AS STAFF AND LEGAL AND THEN DISCUSS THOSE ITEMS. IF YOU DISCOVER SOME UNDESIRABLE USES THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE PROMOTED ON THIS SIDE, THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO REACH OUT TO US VIA MESSAGING OR THROUGH THE CITY MANAGEMENT.

>> [OVERLAPPING] JUST HOLDUP WHILE BRIAN IS THINKING.

I WOULD THINK IF YOU WERE TO GO TO A POTENTIAL HOMEOWNER AND SAY, LOOK, WE'VE GOT DEED RESTRICTIONS IN HERE, WE'VE GOT FIREWORKS RESTRICTIONS, HANDGUN RESTRICTIONS, ALL THESE OTHER RESTRICTIONS IS LIKE YOU ARE LIVING IN TOWN.

I WOULD THINK THAT'D BE AN ENHANCEMENT AND ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO COME LIVE OUT THERE.

I KNOW A SALESMAN IS NOT GOING TO TELL HIM, HEY, ANYBODY CAN SHOOT THE FIREWORKS TWO O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING IF THEY WANT TO AND INDICATE ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

BUT IF YOU HAVE SOME TEETH IN YOUR WHATEVER RULES.

[01:15:08]

>> WELL, [INAUDIBLE].

>> YES. THE PROBLEM IS ENFORCING AND THEIR OPTION IS TO TAKE THEM TO COURT.

MOST HOAS DON'T HAVE THE FUNDING TO DO A LAWSUIT.

>> POLICING SHOULD BELONG TO THE POLICE AGENCY, SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, CONSTABLE, SOMEONE WHO CAN CARRY A GUN AND HAS A BADGE.

>> THE ONLY THING WE HAVEN'T DISCUSSED AND WE'RE MAKING SURE THAT'S IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IS ADDRESSING A LOT OF YOUR DRAINAGE QUESTIONS IN TERMS OF OUTFALL AND WHAT HAVE YOU.

THE CITY ENGINEER AS WELL AS ADD WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE, OF COURSE FOR THOSE FINAL APPROVALS WITH THE TCEQ CONTINGENCY BUILT-IN AS WELL.

WE'RE HAVING THOSE DISCUSSIONS THROUGH JOHN AND MAKING SURE THAT THOSE ARE PLACED INTO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AS WELL.

>> IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE ANGLETON DRAINAGE DISTRICTS NORTHERN BOUNDARY IS THE PROTECTION LEVY.

>> THE LEVY. YES, SIR.

>> THIS IS OUTSIDE THE PROTECTION LEVY, SO THE JURISDICTION STOPS AT THE LEVY.

>> YES, SIR.

>> [OVERLAPPING] WHEN WATER FALLS INTO.

>> NOW, WHEN THE WATER COMES INTO ANGLETON DRAINAGE DISTRICT [NOISE] PASSING THROUGH TO BUSDROP OR OYSTER CREEK OR WHATEVER, THEN THEY HAVE SOME SLAVE IT AS FAR AS DEVELOPING WITHIN THE SUBDIVISION, THAT'S GOING TO HAVE TO FALL TO MISSOURI COUNTY DRAINAGE CRITERIA MANUAL.

THE OVERSEER OF THAT IN THE ABSENCE OF A DRAINAGE DISTRICT IS THE COUNTY.

>> YES, SIR. I'LL JUST THROW THIS OUT THERE THAT COUNCILMAN TOWNSEN SUGGESTED 45, 45, 10, THROWING THAT OUT THERE.

>> [OVERLAPPING] I JUST WANTED TO REMIND COUNCIL THAT 2,400 IS WHAT THEY ORIGINALLY SUGGESTED?

>> 2587 [OVERLAPPING] DOWN TO 2487.

>> NOW, [INAUDIBLE].

>> RIGHT. THE REASON WHY I'M BRINGING THAT UP IS THE MAIN THOROUGHFARE TO TAKE IT BACK TO ANGLETON IS ANCHOR ROAD.

I'M NOT SUGGESTING ON THE PREVIOUS AGENDA ITEMS WE TALKED ABOUT ON ANCHOR ROAD WITH A LIGHT, THAT WASN'T BECAUSE WE NEED TO DO IT TODAY AND GET IT DONE.

IT'S BECAUSE ALL THE DEVELOPMENTS GOING ON AND KNOWING WHAT'S HAPPENED WITH THAT ROAD, WE NEED TO START EARLY INSTEAD OF BEING REACTIVE.

THAT'S WHY I SUGGESTED THAT.

THEN SITTING HERE LOOKING AT THIS WE'RE JUST THINKING ALL THAT TRAFFIC COMING DOWN, IT'S GOING TO BE ANCHOR ROAD IS GOING TO BECOME VERY IMPORTANT TO THE CITY.

>> COUNTY DOES WANT TO DO FOUR LANE ON ANCHOR ROAD AND THAT'S ANOTHER PARTNERSHIP THAT WE NEEDED.

>> THEY SCRAPPED IT FOR NOW.

>> WELL, IT'S A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE ON THEIR PLAN.

[BACKGROUND]

>> YEAH. I SAY, I SPOKE WITH ONE AND PRETTY MUCH LOOKING.

>> LAST DISCUSSION WITH COUNTY COMMISSIONER IS ON HOLD.

JUST INDEFINITE HOLD AT THE MOMENT.

>> TOWARD [INAUDIBLE].

>> JUST WHAT WE CAN CONTROL IN OUR AREA IS WHAT WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT.

>> ANYMORE DIRECTION FOR STAFF?

>> SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE GOT SEVERAL TALKING POINTS.

>> BEFORE WE MOVE ON, DO WE HAVE ANY CITIZENS OF THE COUNTY THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL?

>> I WILL.

>> OKAY. YES, SIR.

>> PERTAINING TO THE DRAINAGE.

>> [OVERLAPPING] YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE MIC.

>> STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS PLEASE, SIR, FOR THE RECORD.

>> CB ROBERTSON, 569, COUNTY ROAD 44.

PERTAINING TO THE DRAINAGE, AND I HEARD HIM SAY A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT WHILE AGO AND I DON T THINK ANYBODY IS SURE OF ANYTHING AT ALL BUT PERTAINING THERE, RIGHT OR WRONG?

>> NONE OF OUR ENGINEERS IS AWARE.

>> NO. I UNDERSTAND.

BUT YOU'D HAVE TO PUT YOUR FEET ON TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

[01:20:06]

WE OWN EVERYTHING SOUTH OF THE FENCE ROW.

THERE'S ONLY ONE DITCH THAT DRAINS THAT WHOLESALE DIVISION.

[OVERLAPPING] APPROACH ACROSS THE CORNER OF OUR PROPERTY TO THE OUTSIDE PROTECTION LEVY DITCH, WHICH IS CONTROLLED BY ANGLETON DRAINAGE DISTRICT.

NO ONE SHOULD EVER SAY ANYTHING TO THE NEIGHBORS ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE GOING DO WITH THE WATER. GETTING OUT OF THIS.

>> FIND OUT THE CITY ENGINEERS SIR.

>> NO, THAT'S NOT CITY.

ONCE IT LEAVES A SUBDIVISION, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, IT BECOMES SOMEONE ELSE. TRUE OR FALSE?

>> ANYONE HAS TO BE OR WITHOUT FALL.

>> BUT WHO WOULD?

>> DEVELOPERS POSSIBLY.

>> OKAY. THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT, WHAT I UNDERSTAND IS GOING RIGHT AGAINST OUR FENCE AND IT IS GOING STRAIGHT INTO THAT DITCH. ARE YOU AWARE OF THAT?

>> I'M NOT SURE.

>> OKAY. NEVER MIND.

>> YOU'RE DIRECTLY SOUTH OF BETWEEN ANCHOR ROAD AND THE DEVELOPMENT.

IS THAT CORRECT, MR. ROBERTSON?

>> DO IT NOW.

>> YOU'RE DIRECTLY SOUTH OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND BETWEEN ANCHOR ROAD?

>> CAN I [INAUDIBLE] 44 AND THEN GO EAST EVERY DAY LET'S SAY [INAUDIBLE] IS BEYOND WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.

>> OKAY. YES, SIR.

>> JUST TO CLARIFY ON THAT.

THE REASON WHY OTIS WAS BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY OF THE PLANS YET FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

>> I WENT TO [INAUDIBLE] BECAUSE HE SAID THE SAME THING.

AT FIRST HE SAID, OH, WE GOT ON THAT [INAUDIBLE].

HE WOULD THINK THAT THE NUMBER 1 [INAUDIBLE] WOULD THINK WHAT WE GOING TO DO WITH THE WATER AND THERE WOULD PROBABLY [INAUDIBLE].

>> GO AHEAD.

>> WELL, GET TO THE MIC.

>> I'M SORRY, GO AHEAD.

>> NO, I WAS SAYING.

>> I JUST WANT YOU TO [OVERLAPPING].

>> SPEAK INTO THE MIC.

>> BUT YEAH, YOU WOULD THINK THAT THE NUMBER 1 THING WOULD BE HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DRAIN THIS FLAT BEFORE YOU START BUILDING HOUSES AND ALL THAT STUFF IN IT.

BUT IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S THE LAST THING ON THE AGENDA.

BECAUSE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT ALL THE MONEY AND EVERYTHING WE'RE GOING TO COLLECT, BUT WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH THE WATER? THE WATER IN MISSOURI COUNTY CAN BECOME AN ISSUE.

>> YES, IT CAN.

>> I THINK EVERYBODY KNOWS IT.

>> CERTAINLY INTO THE WEST OF THAT AREA.

>> ESPECIALLY ON THAT SIDE OF THE LEVY.

>> THANK YOU, MR. ROBERTSON, FOR YOUR INSIGHT.

I THINK WE'RE OKAY WITH WHAT YOU HAVE.

ANYBODY ELSE? WE'LL CLOSE THAT ITEM OUT AND MOVE ON TO ITEM

[7. Discussion and possible action on the preliminary plat of the Ashland Project Street Dedication #3.]

NUMBER 7 DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF THE ASHLYN PROJECT STREET DEDICATION NUMBER 3, MR. OTIS.

>> THANK YOU. MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THIS IS A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR ASHLYN STREET DEDICATION NUMBER 3.

I WILL SAY THAT THIS PARTICULAR PLAT HAS GONE THROUGH ENGINEERING REVIEW.

WE NOTED SOME OF THE OUTSTANDING COMMENTS ON THE PLAT AT THE TIME OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION THAT HAD NOT BEEN CLEARED BUT AS OF THAT TIME WE'VE RECEIVED COMMENTS FROM THE COUNTY AND THEY WERE JUST SOME TYPO AND ALSO SOME VERBIAGE ON THE PLAT THAT WAS REPETITIOUS THAT NEEDED TO BE CORRECTED.

SINCE THAT TIME WE HAVE [NOISE] COPIED A YEAR ON AND IF YOU WOULD ROLL DOWN TO THE MOST CURRENT PLAT SUBMISSION, THAT'LL BE THE DOCUMENT WE ADDED.

WE'VE RECEIVED COMMENTS FROM THE COUNTY AND THE APPLICANT HAS CLEARED THOSE CORRECTIONS AND NOTED CONDITIONS AS YOU SEE IN THE COVER.

WITH THE ADDITION, OF COURSE, REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT APPROVAL THAT'LL BE ONE OF THE CONTINGENCIES THAT NEED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.

YOU'VE BEEN, OF COURSE, FORWARDED THE ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 5-0 TO APPROVE THE PLAT AS WELL.

SUBJECT TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BEING APPROVED BY COUNCIL AND THAT ALL OF THE CERTIFICATES IN TERMS OF DEDICATION AND MAINTENANCE REGARDING DRAINAGE EASEMENTS AND WHAT HAVE YOU NEED TO BE REFLECTED IN THE DA AND ALSO DURING FINAL PLATING BY FINAL PLATING.

THEN THERE ARE OTHER CONSTRUCTION PLAN THINGS THAT NEED TO BE COORDINATED AS WELL.

>> THANK YOU, MR. OTIS. ANY QUESTIONS,

[01:25:01]

COMMENTS [NOISE] FOR OTIS OR STAFF?

>> I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN APPROVE THE PLAT WHEN WE'RE STILL TRYING TO HAMMER OUT DEVELOPERS' AGREEMENTS AND THERE WAS DRAINAGE ISSUES AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

BUT THAT'S BEEN MY POSITION ON THIS SINCE DAY 1.

THIS IS DEDICATION NUMBER 3.

THE FIRST TWO HAVE ALREADY GONE THROUGH?

>> YES, SIR. ONE AND TWO HAS GONE THROUGH.

>> THOSE ARE PRELIMINARY PLATS.

THE FINAL PLATS WERE NOT [OVERLAPPING] NOTHING IS READY TO BE RECORDED YET.

NOTHING HAS BEEN SIGNED BY THE MAYOR.

IT'S PRELIMINARY. ALL PRELIMINARY.

>> I'M JUST GOING TO ASK THE QUESTION.

SO IS THIS TRYING TO GET THINGS IN ORDER BECAUSE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS REALLY CONCENTRATED ON LOOKING AT THIS PIECE OF LAND FOR THEIR [OVERLAPPING]

>> YES, SIR. IT WILL DEAL WITH SOME OF THE FIRST PHASE ITEMS THAT WILL OCCUR ON THE PLAT AND THEN THE WASTEWATER AND THE PLANTS, ALL OF THOSE IN WHICH WE'VE SEEN PRELIMINARY PLATS ON.

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS WILL BE SUBMITTED FOR THOSE.

AS PART OF THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS, YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THOSE FINAL PLATS COME BEFORE YOU FOR APPROVAL SO BY THE END, HOPEFULLY, WE'LL HAVE THE DA APPROVED.

>> WELL, I WOULD SAY NO PLAT IS FINALIZED UNTIL WE HAVE A [OVERLAPPING]

>> CORRECT.

>> DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FINALIZED.

>> CORRECT. WE WOULD AGREE WITH YOU.

>> WE'VE MADE THAT MISTAKE BEFORE.

>> WE HAVE.

>> SEVERAL YEARS BACK.

>> BUT WE'RE NOT SHY ABOUT IT.

>> I KNOW.

>> [NOISE] BECAUSE ONCE IT'S RECORDED, THEY CAN SELL THE LOTS AND WE DON'T WANT THAT. NO, SIR.

>> JUDITH IS THE CLOCK STARTED ON THIS SINCE DAVE?

>> THIS ONE IS WITHIN YOUR TIME LIMITATION.

>> FOR PRELIMINARY?

YES SIR. BUT IT IS CONSTRAINED BY 30 DAYS.

>> BECAUSE THAT'S COME UP AS WELL.

>> COUNCIL, THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM.

>> HOLD ON, MAYOR.

>> I HAVE SEEN YOU OVER THERE WORKING, SIR.

>> I'M TRYING TO FIND THE WORDS.

>> IT IS PAGE NUMBER 6.

>> BAD EYES.

>> FIFTY-SIX MAYBE.

>> FIFTY-SIX.

>> FIFTY-SIX. IT'S BELOW 56 RIGHT HERE.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THE RECOMMENDATION.

>> I MOVE WE APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF ASHLYN PROJECT STREET DEDICATION NUMBER 3.

>> MOTION BY COUNCILMAN BOOTH. DO I HAVE A SECOND?

>> I'LL SECOND IT.

>> I HAVE A SECOND BY COUNCILMAN GONGORA, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION?

>> AND AS SUBJECT TO THE DAB ENTERPRISE.

>> HEARING NONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

>> [OVERLAPPING] AYE.

>> ALL THOSE OPPOSED SAME SIGN.

>> AYE.

>> WE HAVE 4-1, MOTION DOES CARRY.

[NOISE] THANK YOU, ALL.

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

ITEM NUMBER 8 DISCUSSION, POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING AN UPDATE ON THE REPAIRS TO TWO SUBSTANDARD HOMES LOCATED AT 320 WEST PEACH STREET AND 1124 NORTH ALCOLA STREET. MR. KYLE.

>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

BRINGING THE TWO SUBSTANDARD HOMES, WE'D SET A TIMELINE OF REPAIRS ON THEM LAST YEAR, I THINK, END OF DECEMBER, OF COURSE, WE'RE A LITTLE PAST THAT NOW.

BUT HERE I HAVE SOME PICTURES, THEY'RE ABOUT A MONTH OLD, I THINK NOW.

320 WEST PEACH, 1124 NORTH ALCOLA.

THE 320 WEST PEACH.

MR. SPEEDY COULDN'T MAKE IT TONIGHT.

HE'S MADE A LOT OF PROGRESS ON THAT HOME.

[NOISE] LET'S SEE, WHAT DO WE GOT? WELL, WE'LL START WITH THAT ONE RIGHT THERE.

[OVERLAPPING] 1124 NORTH ALCOLA.

MR. GOULD, HE'S UNDER THE WEATHER.

I STOPPED BY THERE YESTERDAY AND TOOK ANOTHER LOOK.

HE'S THE ONE WITH THE RV IN THE BACK LIVING IN IT.

HE HAS MADE OUTSIDE IS READY FOR PAINT.

INSIDE HE'S STARTED CABINETS SO HE'S I'D SAY A COUPLE OF MONTHS HE'LL BE PRETTY WELL READY TO MOVE IN AND THEN WE CAN GET THAT RV OUT.

HE'S MADE A LOT OF PROGRESS THERE.

I'M THINKING A COUPLE MORE MONTHS ON THAT.

>> LOOKS GREAT.

>> THE 320 WEST PEACH.

IF YOU WANT TO SCROLL, KEEP GOING.

[01:30:02]

RIGHT THERE. THEY'VE DONE A LOT OF FOUNDATION WORK.

FRAMING THE ROOF WAS DONE, THE STRUCTURE, IT STARTED ON THE OUTSIDE.

I DID SPEAK WITH MR. SPEEDY ABOUT A WEEK AGO ON THIS ONE, HE HAS FINISHED THE FRAMING WINDOWS THE OUTSIDE THE SIGHTING, AND ALL OF THAT.

THERE HAS BEEN QUITE A BIT OF PROGRESS ON THIS ONE FROM WHAT IT WAS BEFORE.

I REALLY DON'T HAVE A TIMELINE ON THAT FOR COMPLETION.

I WOULD SAY AT LEAST ANOTHER SIX MONTHS ON THAT ONE.

I CAN BRING THESE TWO BACK IN SAY TOWARD IN SIX MONTHS OR WHENEVER YOU ALL WOULD LIKE TO SEE.

I MEAN WE'LL KEEP ON TOP OF THEM AND WITH UPDATES AND JUST TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE MOVING ALONG AND SO WE CAN GET THESE TWO TAKEN CARE OF.

THE OTHER ONE, GET THE RV UNHOOKED AND REMOVED AND HE'S READY TO MOVE IN TOO SO THAT'LL BE A GOOD ONE THERE ON NORTH ALCOLA BUT WE CAN STAY ON THIS ONE ON WEST PEACH TO MAKE SURE, OF COURSE, HE'S NOT MOVING IN THIS HOUSE, SO IT'S NOT HIS [NOISE] RESIDENCE, BUT JUST TO MAKE SURE IT KEEPS MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

>> HOW LONG DID WE GIVE THE RESIDENT AT 1124 NORTH ALCOLA? HOW LONG DID WE GIVE HIM TO LIVE IN HIS RV? WAS IT A YEAR?

>> WELL, WE HAD [OVERLAPPING]

>> OR SIX MONTHS?

>> WE HAD DONE SIX, UNTIL THE END OF DECEMBER.

>> IN DECEMBER SO HE'S REAL CLOSE.

>> AND HE HAD A COUPLE OF HEALTH ISSUES AND THIS AND THAT I THINK HE MENTIONED BUT [OVERLAPPING] HE IS REALLY CLOSE.

>> THIS HOUSE IS PROBABLY IN BETTER SHAPE THAN SOME OTHER ONES. I DON'T EVEN KNOW.

THE ONLY THING THAT I THINK NEEDS TO COME BACK TO US IS JUST HIM LIVING IN THE RV AT THE MOMENT.

THE HOUSE, I THINK ISN'T SUBSTANDARD ANYMORE.

>> OH NO, IT'S DEFINITELY NOT.

>> IT'S COMING ALONG REALLY WELL. HE'S DONE A GREAT JOB.

>> I THINK SUMMERTIME FOR SURE HE'S GOING TO BE IN ALCOLA.

>> THEN I THINK THE 320 WEST PEACH, IT LOOKS A LOT BETTER THAN IT DID BEFORE.

>> FOR SURE.

>> I THINK WE DO NEED TO STAY ON TOP OF IT THOUGH AND KEEP MOVING.

BUT I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO REALLY TALK ABOUT 1124 NORTH ALCOLA MUCH OTHER THAN GETTING THE RV OUT.

>> WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT'S DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER WHEN HE MOVES IN COMPLETELY.

I CAN BRING THIS ONE BACK IF YOU WANT, ANOTHER SIX MONTHS JUST TO SEE.

>> I'M HAPPY TO SEE THAT THEY SALVAGED BOTH HOUSES. THAT'S GREAT.

>> YES. WE'RE GETTING THE 1124 NORTH ARCOLA MR. GOULD.

THAT ONE STOPPED JUST RECENTLY BECAUSE HE'S PUTTING CABINETS AND FIXTURE, SO HE'S ABOUT READY TO MOVE IN.

THIS ONE HERE. I DID JUST GET SOMETHING.

OF COURSE, IT'S NOT IN YOUR PACKET FROM MR. SPEEDY ON THIS ONE, FROM THE WINDSTORM ENGINEER FOR WINDOWS, DOORS, AND ALL THAT.

WE ARE STILL GETTING UPDATES FROM THEM EXCEPT THE COLAB KIND OF.

I KNOW WHERE THAT ONE IS AT. ABOUT COMPLETE.

WE'LL KEEP GETTING THOSE AND THE PERMITTING ON THIS ONE AND MAKE SURE IT'S MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

>> I JUST WOULD RECOMMEND JUST PAY THEM A VISIT 30, 45 DAYS SO THEY KNOW WE'RE WATCHING THEM AND WHERE WE'VE BEEN VERY GENEROUS ON MY TIMELINE, AND I GET IT.

THESE ARE TWO ELDERLY INDIVIDUALS TRYING TO FIX THEIR HOUSE BACKUP.

BUT WE JUST WANT TO DON'T WANT TO DRAG THIS ON AND IT'S GOING TO RUN TWO YEARS, LIKE WHAT WE HAD IT BEHIND WATER BURGER.

THAT'S A 20-YEAR PROJECT, WHICH BY THE WAY, IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD OVER THERE. FINALLY.

>> THEY'RE GETTING A LOT CLOSER TO COMPLETION.

THEY GET THEIR POWER ON THIS.

>> I JUST GO WITH WHAT JEWS. THEY JUST MAKE SURE WE'RE GETTING SOME SORT OF CORRESPONDENCE THAT BECAUSE WE'RE SETTING A PRECEDENT AS WELL FOR OUR FUTURE SUBSTANDARD RESIDENTS.

WELL, Y'ALL GAVE HIM FOUR YEARS. I WANT TO BE IN THAT BOAT.

>> OKAY. NO PROBLEM.

>> ALRIGHT.

>> DR. FOR CELLCO, BE HAPPY.

>> YES, HE WOULD BE. ANYBODY ELSE? THANK YOU FOR STAYING ON TOP OF THIS.

>> THANK YOU, SIR.

>> ALL RIGHT. WE WERE ALONE. I REMEMBER NINE PRESENTATION DISCUSSION OF

[9. Presentation, discussion and possible action on the year-to-date financial report including an update on the revenue generated by the Water and Sewer rate increase.]

POSSIBLE ACTION ON YEAR-TO-DATE FINANCIAL REPORTING, INCLUDING AN UPDATE ON THE REVENUE GENERATED BY THE WATER AND SEWER RATE INCREASE. GO AHEAD, SIR.

>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THIS IS MY FIRST FINANCIAL UPDATE FOR YOU ALL.

[01:35:01]

IF YOU'LL GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

I'M GOING TO START OFF BY TALKING ABOUT PROPERTY TAX. PROPERTY TAX.

WE BUDGETED $7.3 MILLION IN PROPERTY TAX REVENUE FOR THE YEAR.

AS OF THE END OF FEBRUARY, WE'D COLLECTED $6.7 MILLION, WHICH IS ABOUT 92% COLLECTION RATE, WHICH IS VERY GOOD.

I FEEL THAT WE WILL COME IN CLOSE TO 100% IF NOT OVER.

THE NEXT SLIDE IS OUR SALES TAX COMPARISON.

THERE'S A FEW THINGS I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT THIS SLIDE.

THE FIRST OF IT THAT SAYS BUDGET FOR THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY.

THAT IS JUST A I TOOK FIVE YEARS WORTH OF ACTUAL AND CALCULATE A PERCENTAGE FOR EACH MONTH.

THEN I MULTIPLY THOSE PERCENTAGES TIMES THE ANNUAL BUDGET TO GET IT BUDGETED MONTHLY AMOUNT, SO THAT I COULD HAVE SOMETHING MEANINGFUL TO SHOW YOU.

USING THAT INFORMATION.

ALSO, THE SALES TAX THAT I'M SHOWING UP THERE IS FOR THE CITY ONLY.

IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE AOCS PORTION OF THE SALES TAX.

WE'VE COLLECTED $430,000 IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY AND THAT'S MONEY THAT WAS PUT IN OUR BANK ACCOUNT IN FEBRUARY.

THAT'S THE WAY I'D LIKE TO PRESENT IT BECAUSE I'M OLD AND THAT'S THE WAY I REMEMBER IT BETTER.

>> NOT A PROBLEM.

>> IT'S ABOUT 2% OVER WHAT WE BUDGETED.

OUR YEAR-TO-DATE, WE'VE COLLECTED 1.748 MILLION AND WE'RE BUDGETING.

1.1 MEANS 120,000 FOR YEAR-TO-DATE. THIS SLIDE.

I LOVE TO SHOW PICTURES BECAUSE THEY CAN SPEAK, HELP HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION.

THE BARS IN THE GRAPH ARE THE MONTHLY BUDGET AND THE GREEN LINE, THAT IS THE AMOUNT OF SALES TAX COLLECTED LAST FISCAL YEAR.

THEN THE RED LINE IS WHAT WE'VE COLLECTED SO FAR THIS FISCAL YEAR.

AS YOU CAN SEE, WE ARE AT OR ABOVE BUDGET EVERY MONTH FOR THIS YEAR, AND WE'RE ABOVE EVERY MONTH COMPARED YEAR-TO-DATE.

OUR SALES TAX REVENUES ARE COMING IN VERY WELL.

THIS SLIDE IS JUST A COMPARISON TO THE GENERAL FUND REVENUES.

THE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES.

THERE'S ONE THAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT AND THAT'S PERMITS AND FEES.

OTIS AND I HAVE DISCUSSED THAT, BUT WE'RE STILL NOT REAL CLEAR ON HOW THAT AMOUNT THE BUDGET WAS SO HIGH.

I'VE GOT TO DO SOME MORE RESEARCH ON THAT TO GET A GOOD ANSWER AS TO WHY IT'S SO LOW.

THE RECREATION LINE.

THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE BUDGET.

I'M NOT SURE OF WHAT IT IS.

I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET FIGURED OUT THE ANSWER YET.

I WILL HAVE THAT FIGURED OUT BY THE TANKS PRESENTATION.

>> I WOULD JUST INTERJECT, I THINK KIRK FROM WRONG FIELD, BUT THE PERMANENT SETS BASED ON NEW HOUSES AND THOSE THINGS, RIGHT?

>> YOU REMEMBER, WE WERE BACK IN BUDGET LAST JULY.

OUR OUTLOOK WAS VERY GOOD.

AND SINCE THEN WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF INTEREST RATE HIKES AND THE HOUSING MARKET SLOWDOWN AND BUILDINGS.

SO AGAIN, THAT'S WHAT I SEEM TO REMEMBER FROM WHEN WE PLAN THE BUDGET LAST YEAR.

>> ONE OTHER LINE I'D LIKE TO BRING OUT IS IN THE MISCELLANEOUS LINE.

AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING, THE REPRESENTATIVE OF ENTERPRISE WAS HERE DISCUSSING THE $187,000 CHECK THEY GAVE US.

THAT'S WHERE I RECORDED IT WAS IN THAT MISCELLANEOUS LINE.

THAT LOOKS REALLY GOOD.

IN THIS NEXT SLIDE, I'M STARTING TO GO OVER THE GENERAL FUND EXPENSES BY DEPARTMENT.

MOST OF THE DEPARTMENTS ARE WELL WITHIN BUDGET FOR THE YEAR.

AT THIS POINT.

I'M NOT REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT ANYBODY BEING OVER-BUDGET.

BASED ON THE FIVE MONTHS WORTH OF DATA THAT I'VE COLLECTED SO FAR.

THIS SLIDE IS JUST A COMPARISON OF THE REVENUE AND EXPENSES TO BUDGET.

[01:40:05]

WE'VE GONE THROUGH FIVE MONTHS OF THE YEAR, DIVIDED BY 12 IS 41.7%.

OUR TOTAL REVENUES FOR THE GENERAL FUND, WE PREDICTED ALMOST $9.9 MILLION, WHICH IS 58.7% OF OUR BUDGET.

OUR TOTAL EXPENDITURES, WE BUDGETED 18,316,000.

WE'VE SPENT 6.6 MILLION, WHICH IS ABOUT 36% OF BUDGET. WE'RE BEHIND.

IF WE'D SPEND OUR MONEY EVENLY THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE YEAR, WE'D BE AT 41%.

WE'RE DOING BETTER THAN WE HAD BUDGETED.

[LAUGHTER] THIS SLIDE IS JUST A QUICK, FUN, BALANCED SUMMARY.

WE BEGAN THE FISCAL YEAR WITH 3.7 MILLION IN FUND BALANCE IN THE GENERAL FUND AND AS OF THE END FEBRUARY WE HAD ABOUT 8.2 MILLION IN FUND BALANCE.

THERE ARE A LOT OF EXPENSES THAT HAVEN'T HIT YET, BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT THE LINE, IT SAYS TOTAL EXPENDITURES.

WE BUDGETED 18 MILLION AND WE'VE ONLY SPENT 6.6 MILLION, SO WE'VE GOT A LOT OF EXPENSES THAT ARE COMING UP THAT WILL DRAW THIS $8.2 MILLION DOWN IN FUND BALANCE, SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE THAT MUCH.

I'M ANTICIPATING WE'LL BE OVER BUDGET ON OUR FUND BALANCE.

WE'LL INCREASE OUR FUND BALANCE BY MORE THAN WE BUDGETED.

I'M NOT ANTICIPATING, WE'RE GOING TO DOUBLE IT.

IF THAT'S WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE WE'D BE DOING IF YOU'D LOOKED AT THIS SLIDE WITHOUT SOME CONTEXT.

OUR FUND BALANCE POLICY REQUIRES US TO MAINTAIN 25 PERCENT OF BUDGETED EXPENDITURES IN FUND BALANCE AS AT THE END OF FEBRUARY, WE'RE AT 45 PERCENT.

RIGHT NOW, WE'RE DOING REALLY WELL.

JUST EARLY.

YES. I KNOW [LAUGHTER] WATER AND SEWER FUND.

OUR BUDGETED REVENUES FOR THE WATER AND SEWER FUND WAS 9.7 MILLION.

HERE TODAY, WE'VE COLLECTED THE LOWER 4 MILLION WHICH IS ABOUT 41.8 PERCENT.

OUR EXPENDITURES, WE BUDGETED 7.4 MILLION AND WE SPENT 2.8 MILLION, WERE ABOUT 38 PERCENT.

THIS PLAN IS LOOKING FAIRLY WELL RIGHT NOW AS WELL.

OUR BIG REVENUE MONTHS ARE FIXED AS COMING UP.

AS YOU KNOW, WE DID A RATE INCREASE RIGHT AFTER WE DID THE BUDGET AND I'LL BE DISCUSSING SOME OF THAT REVENUE IN THE BUDGET AMENDMENT.

I WANTED TO SAY, JUST MAKE COMMENT SO WITH THE NEW GROUND STORAGE TANK OPERATIONAL, WE BYPASS THAT LEAK AND SO FOR WATER LOSSES WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THAT.

WITH THE RATE INCREASES, YOU'LL HEAR A UPDATE, THAT'S GOING TO HELP US OUT IN THE POSITION OF ACTUALLY CONSUMING THE WATER THAT WE'RE PURCHASING VERSUS WATER LOSS.

THIS AGAIN IS A, SOME PEOPLE CALL IT A FUND BALANCE SUMMARY BUT THE CORRECT TERM IS NET POSITION SUMMARY.

AS AT THE END OF FEBRUARY, THE NET POSITION IN THE WATER AND SEWER FUND IS $3.9 MILLION AND WHICH IS ABOUT 53 PERCENT OF THE BUDGETED EXPENDITURES.

THE NEXT MAJOR FUND IS THE RECREATION CENTER.

WE BUDGETED 386,000 IN REVENUES FOR THE YEAR WE'VE COLLECTED 139,000 WE'RE ABOUT 36 PERCENT.

I ANTICIPATE WITH SUMMER COMING ALONG, OUR REVENUES WILL GO UP IN THAT DEPARTMENT.

BUT DASHES BASED ON THE EXPERIENCE WITH SWIMMING POOLS THAT ARE OUTSIDE SO THAT IT'S ONLY THING I HAVE TO DRAW ON RIGHT NOW.

OUR EXPENDITURES ARE ABOUT 44 PERCENT OF BUDGET.

THE FIRM'S DOING OKAY, IT'S NOT HURTING BY ANY MEANS [NOISE] THIS SLIDE LOOKS REALLY BAD WITH A $41,000 NET CHANGE IN FUND BALANCE THAT WE'RE FIVE MONTHS INTO THE YEAR.

WE BUDGETED TO HAVE IT TRANSFERRED FROM THE ALBC OF $461,000 OVER THE YEAR.

[01:45:06]

WE'VE ONLY RECEIVED 5/12 OF THAT SO THAT WILL MORE THAN MAKE UP FOR THE SHORTFALL OR THE DRAWDOWN IN FUND BALANCE IN THIS FUND.

FINALLY, THERE'S OTHER FUNDS SUMMARY.

THESE ARE SOME CONSTRUCTION FUNDS AND PLEASE FORGIVE MY TYPO AT THE VERY BOTTOM, WE DON'T HAVE A FUND 403 OR 2016 BOND ISSUE THAT IS FOR THEM CHENANGO WATER PLANT.

THE YEAR TO DATE WE HAVE SPENT $1.6 MILLION AND WE HAVE A REMAINING FUND BALANCE OF $613,000.

THE 2022 BOND ISSUE, WE HAVE ABOUT 9.9 MILLION LEFT.

THE 2018 BOND ISSUE FUND BALANCE IS SITTING RIGHT AROUND 8.1 MILLION.

THE LAKESIDE PARK CONSTRUCTION FUND IS SHOWING A DEFICIT FUND BALANCE, THAT IS ANOTHER FUND WE'RE RECEIVING TRANSFERS FROM THE ALBC.

WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE, I EXPECT THIS BOND, WILL CLOSE OUT THIS FUND WITH A ZERO BALANCE.

FINALLY, JUST A QUICK HEAD COUNT AS OF THE LATEST REPORT, WE HAD 145 FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES AND 31 PART-TIME EMPLOYEES.

I WILL STAND FOR QUESTIONS OR I'LL SIT FOR QUESTIONS.

I FIGURED JOHN WE ALREADY RECALL TODAY, WE SAT DOWN WITH THEM ONE ON ONE AND ASK THE QUESTIONS.

WELL, I DIDN'T SEE THIS PRESENTATION UNTIL AS AT NOW, IT'S NOT IN THE PACKET.

I DIDN'T GET IT COMPLETED IN TIME TO GET INTO PACKET [LAUGHTER] I HAVE LOTS OF QUESTIONS.

I'VE PROBABLY MIGHT WANT TO TAKE THEM OFFLINE.

OKAY.

JUST REAL QUICK THOUGH.

CAN WE GO BACK TO THE VERY FIRST SLIDE.

I'LL GO REAL FAST.

ON THE 92 PERCENT, HISTORICALLY, DOES THIS INCLUDE THE PENALTIES AND INTEREST THAT GET ADDED ON HERE BECAUSE I KNOW WE'VE HAD COLLECTIONS OF OVER 100 PERCENT BEFORE AND THAT'S FROM MY DAUGHTER COMING AND TELLING US, BUT HE'S INCLUDING THE PENALTIES AND INTERESTS THAT GET ADDED IN, SO DOES THIS INCLUDE THAT? NO, SIR.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

ALSO A QUICK COMMENT.

FOR PEOPLE LISTENING ONLINE, WHEN HE SAYS WE'RE FIVE MONTHS IN OUR FISCAL CALENDAR STARTS IN OCTOBER.

THAT'S CORRECT.

YEAH.

GOOD POINT.

ON THE SALES TAX COMPARISON, YOU DIDN'T MENTION THAT THIS IS ONLY THE GENERAL FUND RESERVE, NOT THE ALBC PORTION, CORRECT? CORRECT.

THIS IS FIVE MONTHS AS WELL? YES. I WAS EXPECTING IT TO BE A LITTLE BIT HIGH, THAT WE WERE AROUND 10 PERCENT YEAR-TO-DATE IN THE REPORTS THAT WE'VE BEEN GETTING.

I KNOW THAT INCLUDES THE ABLC PORTION AS WELL BUT I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THE 1.86 PERCENT BECAUSE I THOUGHT WE WERE MUCH HIGHER THAN THAT.

I THOUGHT WE WERE RUNNING AROUND 9-11, SOMEWHERE IN THERE.

I'LL HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE LATEST SALES TAX HISTORY FILE THAT GOT SENT.

I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER BACK TO BUDGET LAST YEAR.

I THINK WE SHOT FOR 8 PERCENT.

TRUE.

IF YOU'RE 9 PERCENT AND YOU'RE ONLY A PERCENT OR SO ABOVE THE.

RIGHT.

REMEMBER, THIS IS THE BIG WAVE OF ALL THE STUFF.

WE'VE GIVEN YOU THE MONTH AND SOMETIMES WE'RE KILLING IT AT 12 PERCENT AND OTHER TIMES IT'S A LITTLE BIT ABOVE AND SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE BIG ROLL OF WHERE WE'RE AT.

I'LL LOOK AT IT AND I'LL SEND YOU A MESSAGE ON IT.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. THESE BUDGETED NUMBERS, THE 16.8 MILLION AT THE BOTTOM, THAT IS BASED OFF OF THE FULL YEAR BUDGET, CORRECT? YES, SIR.

THE YEAR-TO-DATE SHOWING US THAT ALMOST 11 MILLION, SO WE'RE LITTLE OVER IN THAT ASPECT? YES, SIR.

I HAD ANOTHER QUESTION ABOUT THAT, BUT WE'LL GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

GENERAL FUND EXPENSES, THE BUDGET FOR, WELL WE'LL GET INTO IT IN THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

[01:50:12]

ON THIS FUND BALANCE THAT TRANSFER FROM OTHER FUNDS, THE 1.5 MILLION, THAT IS.

RPA MONEY.

WHAT IS THAT 1.5 COMING FROM? I FORGOT.

THAT'S FOR WATER AND SEWER TRANSFERS, AGAIN THE VARIOUS OTHER FUNDS WHICH ARE TRANSFERRING TO THE GENERAL FUND BUT IT'S NOT GRANT MONEY.

IT IS TRANSFER NOT OTHER FUNDS.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

THAT ONE IS CONCERNING, BUT I AGREE WITH YOU ON YOUR COMMENT THAT SUMMER MONTHS HAVEN'T HIT YET, AND THAT'S WHERE WE SEE A LARGE PORTION OF OUR REVENUE DURING THAT TIME. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

WE JUST HAD A CAMP THEY JUST STARTED.

YEAH [OVERLAPPING] SUMMER CAMPS I AGREE. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

THE 2018 BOND ISSUE, IS THAT THE STREET BOND? YES.

WE HAVE 8 MILLION LEFT IN THE STREET BOND.

YES, SIR.

THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO MAKE SURE AND THAT'S BEFORE THE 2 MILLION THAT WE BUDGETED, WHICH IS THE SAN FELIPE BAY AND CHEVY CHASE, CORRECT? 1.5.

THAT'S GOING TO COME DOWN, AND SO WE'LL HAVE 6 MILLION LEFTOVER.

YEAH.

CORRECT? CORRECT.

WE HAVE 6 MILLION LEFT ON THE STREET FUND THAT WE CAN USE.

NEXT SLIDE. HEAD COUNT.

I SENT AN EMAIL EARLIER AND JESSE YOU REPLIED TO ME PERSONALLY.

YEAH.

BUT IT'S GREAT THAT THIS IS ON HERE, BUT WHAT I'D LIKE TO SEE IS A SPLIT AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO GRANULAR, BUT YOU CAN'T COMPARE IT TO ANYTHING, SO MAYBE A YEAR OVER YEAR COMPARISON.

POLICE, FIRE, YOU CAN KEEP VERY HIGH LEVEL PUBLIC WORKS, PARKS AND ADMIN HAVE BEEN AT MINIMUM AND THEN WE CAN JUST DO A COMPARISON.

GIVES US AN IDEA BECAUSE JUST LOOKING AT THE NUMBER, IT'S LIKE 145.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO COMPARE THAT TO.

BUT HEY, WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT BEFORE, SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I'M GLAD YOU'LL GOT THAT.

I LIKED THE PART-TIME EMPLOYEES BEING LISTED SEPARATELY TOO, THAT'S GREAT. THAT'S ALL I GOT.

THEY'RE PART-TIMERS. PART-TIME AND SEASONAL OR JUST PART-TIME? PART TIME. HOW MANY SEASONS OR UNTIL THEY'RE IN MY SYSTEM.

AWESOME. BUT THE SEASONAL WOULD BE COUNTED AS PART-TIME, WOULDN'T IT? I AND MY FELLOW [INAUDIBLE] BUT WHEN THEY DO GET IN.

YES, WHEN THEY DO THEY'LL BE IN ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I THINK THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM, CORRECT? [OVERLAPPING] NO, IT'S PRESENTATION.

>> IT'S A PRESENTATION.

>> WE'VE GOT TO TALK TO WATER AND SEWER GREAT STUDY.

>> THE REVENUE GENERATED.

>> IS THAT THE NEXT ONE OR IS THAT THE SAME ONE?

>> IT'S STILL PART OF THIS [OVERLAPPING] AGENDA.

>> [OVERLAPPING] I'M PUTTING THE CAT BEFORE THE HORSE.

>> IN THE BUDGET FOR THE WATER AND SEWER FUND WHEN WE DID THE RATE INCREASE, IT WAS A SECOND YEAR OF A FIVE-YEAR RATE STEADY.

WE CAME UP WITH A LITTLE OVER $800,000 IN REVENUE, THAT EXTRA REVENUE BECAUSE OF THE RATE INCREASE.

WE IDENTIFIED THAT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE THE REVENUE BUT I HAD TO PUBLISH THE PROPOSED BUDGET BEFORE WE HAD NAILED DOWN WHAT WE'RE GOING TO SPEND IT ON.

THAT'S WHY THERE'S $800,000 BUDGET AMENDMENT BECAUSE IT WASN'T PUBLISHED IN SEPTEMBER.

SO I HAD TO AMEND IT THIS WAY.

THAT'S THE BIG INCREASE IN THAT WATER AND SEWER FUND BUDGET AMENDMENT.

HECTOR AND JEFF HAVE IDENTIFIED SOME PROJECTS THEY WERE WORKING ON AND I'LL LET HECTOR HAVE IT NOW.

>> THERE IT GOES AGAIN.

[BACKGROUND] [LAUGHTER]

>> I'LL WALK BY SO YOU CAN LOOK AT IT, BUT THIS IS ACTUALLY A PIECE OF THE PIPE THAT WE JUST GOT DONE REPLACING ON A WATER PROJECT WE DID.

>> WHAT'S THAT DOWN? JUST GIVE US STRAIGHT JUST WHAT'S THAT DOWN?

>> IT'S [INAUDIBLE]

>> REMOVE YOUR HAND.

>> OKAY. [BACKGROUND]

>> THAT'S AN UPGRADE FROM A TWO-INCH TO A SIX-INCH.

THEY ALREADY HAVE WATER PRESSURE PART OF IT IS BECAUSE THE LINE IS JUST ABOUT CLOGGED.

THE OTHER IT WAS AN UNDERSIZED PIPE.

>> WAS THIS AT THE FRONT STREET OVER THERE? WHERE WAS THIS AT? [OVERLAPPING]

>> TO THE EAST RIGHT OFF OF SOUTH ANDERSON, RIGHT OVER THE RAILROAD CHECK.

YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE TALKING TO THE MICROPHONE, PLEASE.

>> OKAY, SIR. I'LL GO OVER IT IN A SECOND. [INAUDIBLE]

[01:55:06]

>> THIS IS THE ANSWER COMMENT THAT CAME UP IN A COUPLE OF MEETINGS AGO ABOUT THE RATE INCREASE AND WE WANT TO SHOW YOU WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THE FUNDING.

>> ON THE LIST YOU GUYS HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU, THESE SPEECHES, THE WATERLINE I JUST SHOWED YOU GUYS THAT WE REPLACED A 765 FEET OF A TWO-INCH CAST IRON LINE AND UPGRADED TO A SIX-INCH C900 LAWN.

I HAD ESTIMATED COSTING US ABOUT 74,000 AND I BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO COME PRETTY WELL UNDER BUDGET ON THAT.

HAVEN'T GOTTEN THE FINAL BILL ON IT OR ANYTHING, BUT I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME COST SAVINGS ON THAT FROM ACTUALLY ACQUIRING THE MATERIALS OURSELVES AND THEN JUST BIDDING OUT FOR ACTUAL LABOR ONLY.

I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BENEFIT US IN THE LONG RUN.

THE OTHER WATERLINE REPLACEMENTS WE HAVEN'T STARTED YET, WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING RFPS OUT FOR THEM.

SYLVESTER ROAD, WHICH WE'VE HAD AN ABUNDANCE OF LEAKS OUT THERE AND IT'S BEST TO CEMENT PIPE BREAKS.

IT'S ON THE EDGE OF THE DITCH THERE, SO WE'RE JUST CONSTANTLY HAVING BREAKS OVER THERE.

IT'S COSTING US A LOT OF TIME AND RESOURCES TO CONSTANTLY BE OVER THERE REPAIRING IT.

WE'RE GOING TO REPLACE THAT AGAIN WITH SOME EIGHT-INCH PVC.

I ESTIMATE THAT IT'D BE $287,000 AND I'M GETTING THIS COST ALSO FROM PAST PROJECTS WE'VE PREVIOUSLY DONE OF WATERLINE REPLACEMENTS, WATERLINE UPGRADES, THINGS LIKE THAT.

THAT'S WHERE I'M GETTING THE COST FROM.

>> SYLVESTER ROAD GOING UP TO THE [OVERLAPPING] WATER PLANT?

>> I THINK WE'VE HAD SIX OR SEVEN WEEKS.

>> SEWER PLANT. YEAH.

>> I THINK NOW WE'RE UP TO 13, I BELIEVE.

>> THIRTEEN, OKAY.

>> WE ONLY SERVICE WHAT, FOUR HOUSES OVER THERE?

>> BUT ALSO WHEN AND IF THE HOSPITAL IS BUILT OUT THERE, THAT'LL HELP SERVE ALSO THE HOSPITAL.

AGAIN, IT'S LIKE DO IT NOW INSTEAD OF WAIT TILL [INAUDIBLE] THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.

>> THE WIMBERLY WATERLINE REPLACEMENT IT WILL LOOK LIKE A PIPE JUST LIKE THAT ONE ONLY ABANDONED IT IN PLACE.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE UPGRADING THAT ONE IS GOING TO LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE INSIDE OF THAT ONE.

OBVIOUSLY, AS YOU CAN SEE, IT STARTS CORRODING CLOTHES SO THEY START HAVING VOLUME ISSUES AND ALSO PBC IS A LOT SMOOTHER SO THE VELOCITY OF THE WATER IS ABLE TO FLOW BETTER THROUGH THERE BASICALLY.

THAT'S IT FOR ALL THE WATERLINE REPLACEMENTS WE HAVE.

AS YOU CAN SEE, IT JUST JUMPED TO THE BOTTOM, BUT THE ESTIMATED REVENUE REQUIRING NOW WITH THE INCREASE IS $826,000.

ALL OF THESE PROJECTS THAT I HAVE LISTED OUT ARE $742,000 APPROXIMATELY.

WE DO HAVE A SURPLUS OBVIOUSLY LEFTOVER AFTERWARDS, AND ANY OTHER SAVINGS THAT WE HAVE FROM THESE PROJECTS GOING ON WE'LL MOST LIKELY PURSUE SOME OTHER WATERLINE REPLACEMENTS.

WE ALREADY HAVE SOME IN MIND AND POSSIBLY SOME OTHER THINGS, MAYBE AN EQUIPMENT PURCHASE WHICH WE'LL BRING THAT TO YOU GUYS WHENEVER WE GET TO THAT POINT, BUT WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS IS THE LIST OF PROJECTS THAT WE WANT TO GET DONE.

REPLACING FIRE HYDRANTS, SO FAR WE'VE DONE, THAT IS ON THE THIRD PAGE ON THERE.

WE'VE DONE 14 SO FAR AND WE'VE ONLY ACTUALLY ENCUMBERED $71,000 OUT OF THE 120,000 THAT I ESTIMATED.

WE'RE OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET QUITE A FEW MORE THAN 15 DONE.

THAT COMES AGAIN FROM US ACQUIRING THE MATERIAL AS A CITY AND THEN JUST BIDDING OUT FOR LABOR.

WE ACTUALLY HAD SOME COST SAVINGS ON THAT ONE AS WELL.

>> THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE [INAUDIBLE] THAT WE'RE DOING.

WE'RE PAYING SOMEONE TO GO AROUND AND FLOW TEST THEM SO WE KNOW IF WE NEED A SEAL OR NOT OR AN ENDCAP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

>> DID WE GET THE FIRE HYDRANT, BERT RESOLVED?

>> YES WE GOT IT PAINTED.

>> FLUSHED AND TESTED AND EVERYTHING?

>> YES. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE ONES THAT GOT TESTED.

WE DID EVERYTHING ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF TOWN.

>> I'VE BEEN TRACKING THAT ONE.

>> YES, WE DID EVERYTHING FROM THE SOUTH OF 35, BASICALLY, EVERYTHING SOUTH OF THAT IS WHAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE FIRST ROUND OF TESTING THAT WE DID.

NEXT YEAR WE WILL CONTINUE THE PROGRAM AND WE'LL DO THE NORTH SIDE OF TOWN AND THEN JUST KEEP JUMPING BACK AND FORTH, SOUTH, NORTH, SOUTH, NORTH.

>> THE FIRE HYDRANTS, DID YOU DO BASICALLY THE SOUTH SIDE THIS YEAR OR DID YOU DO ANYTHING ON THE NORTH SIDE TOO?

[02:00:02]

>> TESTING WISE WE JUST DID THE SOUTH SIDE WHEN WE DID THE ACTUAL SURVEY AND TESTING.

BUT A LOT OF THESE HYDROGEN PLACEMENTS, YEAH.

THEY'VE BEEN ALL OVER TOWN ONES THAT HAVE NEEDED WORK, NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

WE GOT THOSE DONE.

OBVIOUSLY, NOW THAT WE'VE DONE THE TESTING, WE'VE DISCOVERED QUITE A FEW MORE NOW THAT ARE HAVING SOME ISSUES THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS.

MOVING ON TO THE WATER PLAN UPGRADES, CHLORINE SYSTEM UPGRADES, WE ESTIMATE THAT IT'S GOING TO COST US AROUND $49,500 TO UPGRADE THE EQUIPMENT TO THE EQUIPMENT DESIRED.

THE EQUIPMENT IS VERY OUTDATED AND IT'S CAUSING US A LOT OF ISSUES.

IT'S REACHED ITS END OF LIFE BASICALLY AND SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE UPGRADES WE WANT TO DO AND THIS IS FOR ALL OF OUR TREATMENT FACILITIES AS WELL.

JUST UPGRADED ALL TO SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE USER-FRIENDLY THAT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE EFFICIENT FOR US.

THAT HASN'T OCCURRED YET.

THE BOOSTER PUMP REPLACEMENTS, THERE'S A PHOTO OF ONE INSTALLED ON THE VERY LAST PAGE.

WE ENDED UP ENCUMBERING AN AMOUNT OF $48,424 FOR THOSE REPLACEMENTS.

AGAIN, WE CAME UNDER BUDGET ON THAT.

I DIDN'T ADD THE THINGS THAT WE'VE COME UNDER BUDGET SO FAR INTO THE TOTAL JUST BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN FINAL BUILD-OUT ON A LOT OF THESE THINGS.

JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE BEFORE I DO THAT, IT WAS AN ACTUAL TRUE AMOUNT AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR ALL THIS UNLESS ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS.

>> ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. HECTOR?

>> THE WATERLINE REPLACEMENTS.

I WAS LOOKING AT THE STAFF REPORTS AND THERE WAS STILL MONEY LIKE 200,000 ON THE EPA MONEY FOR THE WATERLINE REPLACEMENTS THAT HADN'T BEEN SPENT.

IS THIS COMING OUT OF THAT?

>> NO.

>> NONE OF THAT IS FROM THE EPA, SO WE STILL HAVE THAT 200,000 FOR THE EPA.

>> YEAH WE'VE GOT PLENTY OF PROJECTS, SO YEAH.

>> WE GOT A WHOLE LIST OF THEM. [LAUGHTER].

>> BUT WE'RE TRYING TO SPEND THIS WITHIN THE BUDGET YEAR AND FOCUS ON THIS WHERE THE EPA WILL GET THAT LITTLE BIT OF LEEWAY.

>> TO DECEMBER 24, I BELIEVE.

>> I WAS JUST WONDERING.

>> YEAH. [NOISE] ANYTHING ELSE ON ITEM NUMBER 9 FOR PRESENTATIONS?

>> THANK YOU, HECTOR. IT'S NICE TO SEE ALL THIS ACTION GOING ON AND FIXING OUR INFRASTRUCTURE.

THAT'S DEFINITELY A PRIORITY TO A LOT OF CITIZENS.

THE PEOPLE ON EAST PEACH ARE GOING TO BE VERY HAPPY.

>> YES. [OVERLAPPING]

>> HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY CALLED YOU ABOUT THEIR WATER LINE, THEY'RE HAVING A WATER LEAKS NOW? [LAUGHTER]

>> I DON'T THINK ANYONE YET.

WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES YET, HAVE WE? BUT, NO.

>> IT DOESN'T REALLY CAUSE A PRESSURE ISSUE, IT'S A VOLUME ISSUE.

>> GOOD. [OVERLAPPING]

IT'S JUST THE WATER CAN'T GET THERE FAST ENOUGH BECAUSE THE PIPE IS REALLY CLOSED UP AND THEN LIKE I SAID, THE INSIDE OF THAT PIPE IS SO ROUGH THAT IT JUST DOESN'T HAVE THE VELOCITY TO GET THERE IN TIME WHEN EVERYONE ON THE STREET FLUSHES THEIR TOILET FOR INSTANCE.

WIMBERLY STREET WILL NOTICE THE SAME DIFFERENCE ONCE WE GET THAT ONE COMPLETED.

>> USUALLY, WE REPLACE A WATERLINE AND SOMEBODY ON THERE CALLS AND SAYS, "HEY, I'VE GOT A LEAK NOW," BECAUSE THE PRESSURE'S ON THEIR PIPE NOW AND THEIR PIPES ARE OLDER TOO.

>> IT'S POSSIBLE.

>> GREAT.

>> IF ANY OF YOU ALL WANT TO BORROW THE PIPE FOR SHOW-AND-TELL WITH YOUR CONSTITUENTS, WE'LL GIVE YOU A SMALLER SECTION TO TAKE AROUND. BUT I'M SERIOUS.

>> LIKE THE TOWER?

>> LIKE THE WATER TOWER.

>> YEAH, LIKE THE WATER TOWER.

>> BUT I'VE GOT A PICTURE ON MY DESK OF ROCKDALE, THE SAME THING.

YOU HAD THE PIPE WITH ALL THE CORROSION ON THE INSIDE AND THE ISSUES WITH PRESSURE, AND PEOPLE SAY, EVERYTHING'S GOOD.

WELL, DO YOU WANT TO DRINK THE WATER THAT'S GONE THROUGH THERE?

>> IT'S CHLORINATED, GOOD ENOUGH.

>> WELL, I GUESS IT'S GOT IRON AND MANGANESE AND ALL [NOISE] THE GREAT MINERALS.

>> EVERYONE NEEDS THEIR ESSENTIAL METALS. [LAUGHTER]

>> ESSENTIAL METALS. HEAVY METAL.

>> I'M JUST OFFERING THAT UP, PLEASE, IF YOU WANT TO TAKE ME UP.

>> I GUESS THAT MEANS I GOT TO TAKE IT BACK WITH ME THEN, RIGHT?

>> NO, I WANT A PIECE FOR MYSELF FROM THERE.

>> HECTOR, WAS THAT REALLY CAST IRON OR WAS THAT OLD GALVANIZED PIPE?

>> I BELIEVE IT WAS CAST IRON JUST BECAUSE THERE WASN'T AS MUCH REST ON IT.

>> ON THE OUTSIDE ANYWAY.

>> THE OUTSIDE LOOK PRETTY GOOD.

>> THAT COMPLETES I GUESS ITEM NUMBER 9, SO THAT MOVES US RIGHT TO ITEM NUMBER 10,

[10. Discussion and possible action on Ordinance No. 20230314-010 amending the fiscal year 2022-2023 budget to include the general fund, the water fund, and miscellaneous minor funds; declaring a public necessity; providing a severability clause; providing an open meetings clause and an effective date.]

DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION ON ORDINANCE NUMBER 20230314-010, MEANING THE FISCAL YEAR 2020, 2023 BUDGET TO INCLUDE THE GENERAL FUND,

[02:05:02]

THE WATER FUND, AND MISCELLANEOUS MINOR FUNDS, DECLARING A PUBLIC NECESSITY, PROVIDING A SEPARABILITY CLAUSE, PROVIDING AN OPEN MEETINGS CLAUSE, AND AFFECTIVE DATE. QUITE A FEW.

>> THIS ITEM IS OUR MID-YEAR BUDGET AMENDMENT.

LIKE I SAID EARLIER, WE'VE BEEN THROUGH FIVE MONTHS OF OUR YEAR, SO WE DID ALL THE DEPARTMENTS, LOOKED AT THEIR BUDGET, WHERE THEY'RE AT AND WHAT THEY THOUGHT THEY WOULD NEED TO HAVE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR.

WE WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY SOME ADDITIONAL REVENUES FOR THE GENERAL FUND.

THE VERY FIRST ITEM IS THE $25,000 FOR THE ANIMAL CONTROL LOCAL AGREEMENT.

THAT WAS AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT THAT WAS PASSED I THINK THE SAME NIGHT WE PASSED THE BUDGET OR ABOUT THE SAME TIME.

I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET THAT PUBLISHED IN TIME TO BE INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL BUDGET.

AGAIN, I HAD TO SHOW IT THIS WAY.

I HAD TO GET IT INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET THIS WAY. EXCUSE ME.

WE HAVE IDENTIFIED ABOUT $127,000 OF EXTRA EXPENSES IN THE GENERAL FUND GOING THROUGH THERE.

MOST OF THE DEPARTMENTS HAD, PARDON ME JUST A SECOND.

>> WHAT GET YOU ALL CHOKED UP OVER THERE, PHIL? [LAUGHTER]

>> IT'S ALLERGY SEASON.

>> YELLOW ON THE CARS.

>> PARDON ME. MOST OF THE DEPARTMENTS MOVED MONEY FROM ONE LINE OUT TO ANOTHER.

EXCUSE ME. THERE WERE SOME OTHER ITEMS THAT WE INCREASED.

THERE'S A LINE ITEM IN FINANCE FOR PUBLICATIONS, I INCREASED THAT BY $600.

THAT WAS FOR PUBLISHING THE NOTICE ABOUT AN RFP THAT WE SENT OUT.

I APOLOGIZE.

>> NO WORRIES.

>> ANOTHER LINE ITEM THAT I INCREASED IN THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT WAS LEGAL AND PROFESSIONAL BACK BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

YOU AUTHORIZED ME TO HIRE A TAX ATTORNEY, AND $10,000 INCREASE TO COVER THAT.

MUNICIPAL COURT IDENTIFIED 38,000 IN ADDITIONAL COLLECTION AGENCY FEES.

THESE ARE FEES THAT WE HAD COLLECTED FROM DEFENDANTS, BUT WE HAD NOT BEEN PAYING OUR COLLECTION AGENCY BECAUSE OF THERE WAS A STAFF TURNOVER AND E-MAILS WITH BILLS GOT SENT TO LALALAND OR WHEREVER, AND SO WE WEREN'T GETTING THE BILLS.

THIS $38,000 WAS ACTUALLY MONEY THAT WE COLLECTED LAST FISCAL YEAR, THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SPENT LAST FISCAL YEAR.

I'LL BE GLAD TO SPEAK TO ANYTHING ELSE THAN GENERAL FUND.

IN THE WATER FUND, THE VERY FIRST LINE YOU'LL NOTICE WE DROPPED THE NEW RESIDENT WELCOME KITS.

WE'RE NOT PRODUCING THOSE ANYMORE.

WE ARE DOING THAT ONLINE.

WE'RE ENCOURAGING ALL OF OUR CUSTOMERS TO DO EVERYTHING ONLINE SO THAT WE'RE CUTTING DOWN OUR EXPENSES AND SPEEDING UP OUR PROCESSES.

THERE'S A LINE IN HERE FOR WATER MAINTENANCE PROJECTS FOR $423,000.

I TOOK THE $846,000 AND SPLIT IT IN TWO, AND PUT HALF OF IT IN THE WATER DEPARTMENT HALF IN THE SEWER DEPARTMENT.

I'LL GO OVER THE REST OF IT IF YOU LIKE OR THEY'RE FAIRLY MINOR, AND WE WOULD ASK, DO YOU APPROVE THIS BUDGET AMENDMENT?

>> ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. PHIL? WHY DON'T WE GET WELL CHOKED UP NOW.

YOU KNOW OBVIOUSLY OF COURSE, THEIR E-MAIL IF YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC QUESTION AS WELL.

>> THEY'RE PROBABLY NOT ALL FOR PHIL ACTUALLY,

[02:10:01]

BUT THE 423,000 THAT YOU'RE SPLITTING BETWEEN THE WATER AND SEWER, THAT'S THE AVERAGE THAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT A WHILE AGO.

THEN JUST ALLUDES TO WHAT HECTOR JUST PRESENTED.

DO WE HAVE IDEAS OF WHERE THAT MONEY IS GOING TO GO, WHAT PROJECTS WE'RE GOING TO ADD?

>> THAT WAS WHAT HE JUST PRESENTED.

THOSE ARE THE PROJECTS HE WAS TALKING ABOUT.

>> THERE'S STILL SOME LEFT.

>> I MEAN, THERE'S ABOUT 80,000 LEFT, BUT WE GOT A MYRIAD OF PROJECTS.

>> BUT IS THAT GOING TO COME TO COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION OR ARE YOU ALL JUST GOING TO TACKLE THEM AS YOU SEE THEM?

>> WE CAN COME BACK AND TELL YOU WHAT WE HAVEN'T SPENT IF YOU WANT AND WE CAN RECOMMEND.

>> I'D JUST BE NICE TO KNOW WHERE THAT'S GOING.

>> REMEMBER, WE HAD 400 WATER LINE BREAKS LAST SUMMER, SO OUR INTENT IS REALLY JUST TO NOTE THOSE AS MUCH AS WE CAN AND ATTACK RESIDENTIAL ISSUES, ESPECIALLY THE ONES THAT HAVE HAD MULTIPLE LINE BREAKERS.

>> SURE.

>> I'M SURE YOU'VE GOT THEM PRIORITIZED.

PUT OUT HOTTEST FIRE FIRST.
