IN CHRIST'S NAME, WE PRAY.

AMEN. AMEN.

ALL RIGHT. DO WE HAVE ANY CITIZENS WISHING TO ADDRESS CITY COUNCIL? OKAY, SO WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM, WHICH IS THE CONSENT AGENDA.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

I WILL GO AHEAD AND READ OFF NUMBER ONE DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION APPROVING RESOLUTION NUMBER 20230627-001. CHANGING THE AUTHORIZED OFFICIAL TO ANGLETON POLICE DEPARTMENT CHIEF LUPE VALDEZ ON A GRANT APPLICATION TO THE TEXAS GOVERNOR'S OFFICE, CRIMINAL JUSTICE DIVISION JUSTICE ASSISTANCE GRANT PROGRAM FOR THE RECORDS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM UPDATE PROJECT.

OKAY. DO WE HAVE ANY ACTION? I RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT WE REMOVE ITEM TWO FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA, PLEASE.

OKAY. DO WE HAVE A MOTION WITH THAT? I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE WE APPROVE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS ONE, THREE AND FOUR AS PRESENTED.

OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR.

ANY SECONDS. SECOND.

OKAY. SECOND FROM COUNCILMEMBER DANIEL.

ANY DISCUSSION BEFORE WE GO FURTHER? OKAY. I CALL FOR A VOTE.

ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? OKAY. THE AYES HAVE IT. SO THAT LEADS US TO ITEM NUMBER TWO, DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION TO FUND A SIDEWALK INSTALLATION FROM HERITAGE COURT TO LAKESIDE PARK FOR ACCESSIBILITY AND CONNECTIVITY THROUGH PARKLAND DEDICATION FEES.

YES. GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.

SO WE HAVE THIS ITEM IN FRONT OF YOU TONIGHT, MAINLY BECAUSE ON APRIL 17TH WE DID MEET WITH THE ANGLETON BETTER LIVING CORPORATION REGARDING SIDEWALK CONNECTIVITY THROUGHOUT OUR PARK SYSTEM.

ONE OF THE PRIMARY ITEMS THAT WAS THAT CAME OUT OF THAT MEETING WAS TO ADDRESS THE ACCESSIBILITY TO LAKESIDE PARK, SINCE THAT IS OUR NEWEST PARK.

SO IF YOU RECALL, WE DID A SIDEWALK INSTALLATION THAT CONNECTED LAKESIDE PARK TO HERITAGE OAKS SUBDIVISION, BUT WE FAILED TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE HERITAGE COURT SUBDIVISION JUST WEST OF THE PARK.

SO THAT SUBDIVISION HAS BUILT SIDEWALKS UP TO THEIR RIGHT OF WAY, THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY, RATHER.

[00:05:02]

OKAY. COUNSEL.

I ASK THAT THIS BE REMOVED TO DISCUSS IT OPENLY BECAUSE I'VE EXPRESSED MY CONCERN IN THE PAST OVER THE WHAT I PERCEIVE AS AN INEQUITY BETWEEN THE SOUTH SIDE OF ANGLETON BEING SERVED BY PARKS, THAT MONIES ARE BEING SPENT NORTH OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS PREDOMINANTLY.

I REALIZED WE BOUGHT A PIECE OF PROPERTY FOR THE AREA'S PARK AND I APPRECIATE THAT, BUT THAT'S AS FAR AS IT'S GONE.

SO I'M JUST CONTINUING TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION.

I BELIEVE THAT THE SIDEWALKS NEED TO BE DONE.

BUT I WANT THE FOCUS TO BE MORE TOWARDS THE SOUTH AND NOT JUST TO BE TALKING ABOUT IT, BUT ACTUALLY MOVE FORWARD WITH DOING.

SOME SOME MAKE SOME METHOD TO TO INCORPORATE ABIGAIL ARIAS PARK INTO A TRULY PARK.

IT'S A NICELY MOWED AREA.

I'VE NEVER SEEN A PERSON SET FOOT ON IT.

AND THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER BOOTH.

WHAT I WILL SAY TO THAT, WHILE IT'S NOT THE AGENDA ITEM AT HAND, WE DO HAVE ABIGAIL PARK AS A BUDGET ITEM THAT YOU WILL SEE JULY 8TH.

OKAY. BECAUSE WE LAKESIDE PARK IS A BEAUTIFUL FACILITY.

UH. PARK ON THE NORTH SIDE OF TOWN.

EXCUSE ME. IT'S NICE, BUT IT'S EVEN FARTHER AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

AND CHILDREN CANNOT.

CANNOT GET THERE BY FOOT.

I MEAN, IT'S JUST ANYBODY.

I'M JUST. I'M. I'M ADDRESSING THE PEOPLE SOUTH OF TOWN.

SO THAT'S. THANK YOU.

I GUESS MY CONCERN IS THAT WE IF WE DON'T PUT THE SIDEWALK IN, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE IT'S GOING TO BE A ADA REQUIREMENT ANYWAY.

I AGREE WITH YOU, MISTER, AT SOME POINT IN TIME.

AND THEY'VE GOT THE FUNDS NOW.

AND IT WAS PART OF THEIR.

WELL, IT WASN'T PART OF THE ADA PLAN FOR 22 AND 23, BUT IT WILL BE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

SO I QUESTION IF WE REALLY NEED TO PUT THE SIDEWALK IN.

LET'S GO AHEAD AND DO IT NOW AND BE THROUGH WITH IT.

YES, SIR. I DON'T CONTEND WITH PUTTING A SIDEWALK IN.

I'M JUST. YOU MAY GET TIRED OF ME BRINGING THIS UP, BUT I'M GOING TO CONTINUE TO BRING IT UP.

THE SQUEAKY WHEEL GETS THE GREASE.

SQUEAKY WHEEL, MAN.

HEAR, HEAR. OLD MAN BOOTH UP THERE CRYING ABOUT THE SOUTH SIDE.

AND JUST SO YOU ALL DO RECALL TO WHEN WE SPOKE TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD REGARDING SIDEWALK CONNECTIVITY AND EVEN CITY COUNCIL, LAKESIDE PARK AND SOUTH SIDE OF TOWN IS NOT THE ONLY AREA WE HAVE ACCESSIBILITY ISSUES LIKE YOU'RE ALLUDING TO THROUGHOUT TOWN AND TO OUR PARKS JUST WITH SIDEWALK CONNECTIVITY.

SO NOT ONLY WOULD THIS BE ADDRESSED EVENTUALLY, IF NOT TONIGHT, IT WILL BE EVENTUALLY.

AND WE DID NOTE SOME INCOMING PARKLAND FUNDS THAT WE HAVE AND HAVE ALREADY ALLOCATED OR EARMARKED WHAT THOSE COULD BE FOR.

AND SO, AGAIN, THOSE COULD BE UTILIZED FOR THAT EXACT PURPOSE.

I'D LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND GET IT DONE NOW, SINCE WE HAVE THE FUNDS.

IT'S A BUS STOP AND THE CHILDREN HAVE TO WALK IN THE ROAD BECAUSE THE SIDEWALK ISN'T THERE AND THERE'S A LOT OF FOOT TRAFFIC IN AND OUT OF THAT, AND THERE'S NOT EVEN A STREET LIGHT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT AREA EITHER.

SO AT DUSK WHEN THEY'RE LEAVING THE PARK, IT'S TOO HOT TO PLAY DURING THE DAY.

IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THEM.

AND ANOTHER POINT I'D LIKE TO BRING FORTH IS COLLECT.

WE'RE COLLECTING FEES IN LIEU OF PARKLAND DEDICATION IN THE VARIOUS SUBDIVISIONS.

WE'VE GOT TWO SUBDIVISIONS SOUTH OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS THAT HAVE.

GIVEN FEES IN LIEU OF PARKLAND.

AND I WANT TO BE SURE THAT THOSE FEES STAY SOUTH OF TOWN.

I MEAN, DON'T JUST INCORPORATE IT INTO THE BIG LUMP.

OKAY. BUT THOSE NEED TO.

THOSE NEED TO BE EARMARKED FOR STUFF THAT HAPPENS JUST LIKE THE STATES IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

WELL, AND I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT ACTUALLY IN THE PARKLAND DEDICATION IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, WE DO NOT HAVE PARK DISTRICTS WHERE TYPICALLY THAT WOULD APPLY.

LIKE, FOR INSTANCE, THE CITY OF MISSOURI CITY HAS LIKE 13 PARK DISTRICTS.

BUT HERE IN THIS TOWN, WHEN WE WORKED WITH DR.

CROMPTON TO DEVELOP THE REVISED DEDICATION ORDINANCE, BECAUSE ANGLETON AT ITS CURRENT SIZE WAS SO SMALL.

THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE CONSULTANT WAS THAT WE NOT DIVIDE IT UP INTO PARKLAND DISTRICTS.

SO I DIDN'T ASK FOR DISTRICTS.

I'M JUST STATING THAT IT'S ALL FEES IN LIEU OF PARKLAND DEDICATION, IF COLLECTED, SHALL BE APPLIED EQUITABLY AND PROPORTIONATELY TO THE IMMEDIATE AREA WHERE

[00:10:06]

YES SIR. THAT'S MY POINT.

THAT'S IN SECTION 23-20 OF THE POLICY PART.

SO. ALL I WAS TRYING TO STATE IS THAT TYPICALLY WHEN YOU DO HAVE THE DISTRICTS, THEY HAVE TO BE SPENT WITHIN THAT ACTUAL DEDICATED DISTRICT. BUT I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

HAVE DISTRICTS. BUT I'M WAY I'M READING THIS.

PARKLAND MONEY IS COLLECTED AT GIFFORD MEADOWS.

YES, SIR. IT NEEDS TO BE STAYED CLOSE BY THERE, WHICH IS CEMETERY ROAD.

SO I BELIEVE THAT WILL BE AN ISSUE THAT PRESENTS ITSELF.

SOUNDS LIKE POSSIBLY IN THE BUDGETING CYCLE.

I KNOW THERE'S SOME FUNDS THAT WILL PROBABLY BE DISCUSSED AND PERHAPS.

CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION TO BE PROCURED IN THE FUTURE.

BUT. UM, AS WE'RE DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE RIGHT HERE TODAY, I SEE THAT WE HAVE A PARKLAND DEDICATION BALANCE OF $60,000 FUNDS REQUEST IS ONLY $5,400.

I THINK THIS IS A WISE USE OF THIS MONEY.

IT'S IF WE DELAY, ALL WE'RE GOING TO DO IS INCUR GREATER COST.

INFLATION WILL RISE.

SO ONE OTHER THING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION IS THAT BECAUSE WE'RE ONLY REQUIRED TO, I BELIEVE, HAVE ONE POINT OF ACCESS, WE ARE NOT DOING BOTH SIDES OF THE ENTRANCE.

SO THIS PROPOSAL THAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU THIS EVENING IS FOR ONE ACCESSIBILITY POINT.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT SIDE OF THE NORTH OR SOUTH SIDE? AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO PULL UP.

STUART WENT OUT THERE JUST RECENTLY AS WELL, AND I BELIEVE HIS RECOMMENDATION WAS THE WE HAVE CONSTRAINTS ON EITHER SIDE.

WE HAVE A LARGE TREE AND THEN WE HAVE UTILITIES.

SO IF I RECALL CORRECTLY, I BELIEVE IT WAS ON THE SOUTH SIDE, BUT BECAUSE WE IT WILL ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR ONE CULVERT VERSUS TWO TO CROSS OVER TO LAKESIDE PARK. SO WE MAKE A MOTION TO FUND THE SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION PRESENTED IN ITEM TWO.

OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND BY COUNCILMAN ROBERTS, CALLING FOR A VOTE.

ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

AYE. ANY OPPOSED? OKAY THE AYES HAVE IT.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

ALL RIGHT. WE'LL CONTINUE ON TO THE REGULAR AGENDA.

[5. Discussion and possible action on an agreement with Schneider Electric for an Investment Grade Audit to determine the scope of work, guaranteed savings amount, energy conservation measures and project price for a comprehensive improvement project.]

SO I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD, MR. MAYOR PRO TEM. SO FLASHBACK.

SNYDER CAME AND PRESENTED TWO PROJECTS AFTER WE SELECTED THEM TO THE ENERGY PERFORMANCE.

THE FIRST WAS ON BUILDING PERFORMANCE, LIKE LIGHTING, HVAC CONTROLS.

THEY'RE MOVING AHEAD WITH THAT PROJECT.

WE'RE WE'LL BE AT THE 30% REVIEW TOMORROW WITH STAFF.

THIS IS THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT PROJECT THAT WE NEED TO GET UP AND MOVING SO THEY CAN DEVELOP THE PROJECTS.

SO I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO DEBORAH.

EXCUSE ME. GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.

NICE TO SEE YOU.

THE PROJECT THAT'S OR THE CONTRACT THAT'S BEING CONSIDERED THIS EVENING FOR APPROVAL IS FOR THE NEEDS AT THE WASTEWATER PLANT.

WE WERE SELECTED BACK IN OCTOBER FOR THE PARTNERSHIP.

AND THE CONTRACT ITSELF HAS NOW BEEN BROUGHT TO YOU IN THREE PHASES.

SO THE PHASES ARE FOR US TO DEVELOP UP TO 30% OF THE SCOPE OF WORK THAT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED.

WE DID AN ANALYSIS FOR YOU IN 2013 AND WE BROUGHT THOSE FINDINGS BACK IN 2014, OF WHICH THE CITY HAS TAKEN CARE OF SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS.

NOT ALL. WE'VE HAD MANY CONVERSATIONS HERE IN COUNCIL ABOUT THE CONDITIONS AT THE PLANT AND THE NEEDS THAT YOU HAVE.

SO THIS FIRST CONTRACT WOULD BE DEVELOPMENT FOR UP TO 30% OF THE RECOMMENDED SCOPE OF WORK.

WE'LL BRING THAT 30% BACK FOR CONSIDERATION AND THE CITY WILL MAKE GO AND NO GO DECISIONS ON THE SCOPE THAT YOU PLAN TO PURSUE.

WE DON'T EXPECT ALL OF THE SCOPE TO BE ACCEPTED.

THAT'S THE POINT OF THE 30 AND 60 AND 90% MEETINGS.

SO THIS FIRST CONTRACT WILL BE BROUGHT BACK TO YOU IN 12 WEEKS.

AND AT THAT TIME THE SCOPE AND OUR RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE PRESENTED AND THEN THE CITY WILL MAKE CONSIDERATION ON AND DIRECTION OF WHAT SCOPE YOU DO WANT TO

[00:15:07]

SCHNEIDER THE OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP UP TO 60% OF THE PROJECT AGAIN WITH GO AND NO GO DECISIONS FROM THE CITY.

LOTS OF THINGS CAN HAPPEN BETWEEN TODAY AND THE 30%, OF COURSE, AND THE 60%.

SO AT THE 60% NOW WE'RE MOVING INTO OUR FINAL DEVELOPMENT.

AND SO THAT WOULD BE OUR THIRD CONTRACT, OUR THIRD PHASE, AND WE WOULD DEVELOP THE ENTIRE SCOPE OF WORK ONCE THE THIRD PROJECT IS OR EXCUSE ME, THE THIRD CONTRACT IS APPROVED, THEN WE'LL FINALIZE WITH THE DRAWINGS AND THEN BEGIN WITH THE CONSTRUCTION.

AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL PROBABLY TAKE 6 TO 9 MONTHS, PROBABLY MORE NINE MONTHS.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT A 2024 DELIVERY FOR THE DESIGN.

AND THEN ONCE WE GET THE CONTRACTS BACK, THAT THE DRAWINGS WOULD PROBABLY TAKE ANOTHER COUPLE OF MONTHS TO GET THAT DONE.

SO THAT'S THE TIMELINE.

THAT'S HOW THE CONTRACTS ARE BROKEN UP.

AND FOR THIS EVENING WITH A POSITIVE NOD, WILL BE MOBILIZING OUR TEAM HOPEFULLY, CHRIS, THE 19TH WHEN WE'RE BRINGING BACK THE 60% ON FACILITIES TO INITIATE OUR KICKOFF.

I CAN SAY YES.

SO REMEMBER, WE STARTED OFF WITH ABOUT $20 MILLION IN PROJECTS THAT SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC WE SAID WE NEED TO DO.

THERE'S, I THINK, FIVE PROJECTS.

AND SO WHEN DEBORAH SAYS WE COME BACK FOR CITY APPROVAL, THAT MEANS FOR YOU ALL TO SAY, WE WANT TO DO THE $20 MILLION OR THE 4 OR 5 OR 3 OR 6 OR WHATEVER PROJECTS.

SO AND THAT WILL DEPEND WHAT WE PAY SCHNEIDER TO DO THE ENGINEERING.

SO IT'S 20 MILLION.

IT'S A HIGHER PRICE THAN IT IS AT 15 MILLION.

AND SO PART OF THAT TO REMEMBER WE SUBMITTED FOR THE TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD PROJECT WITH FREESE AND NICHOLS SO THAT THAT THAT PROCESS IS UNDERWAY.

AND THEN WE'LL ENGAGE WITH SCHNEIDER ON OTHER FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES AS THEY ARISE.

BUT THAT'S WHY WE'RE DOING THIS IN PHASES, BECAUSE WE WANT YOU ALL TO AGREE, WHATEVER THOSE PROJECTS ARE.

THIS IS NOT A STAFF DECISION, BUT WE'RE GOING TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS.

BUT YOU ALL ARE GOING TO APPROVE THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT AND NUMBER OF PROJECTS.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'LL GO AFTER.

AND THERE'LL BE A NUMBER OF MEETINGS PRIOR TO THIS COMING TO YOU.

WE NEED TO WORK WITH YOUR TEAM.

WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON TODAY.

THEIR MOBILIZATION WILL OCCUR AND INTERVIEWS WITH THE TEAM THAT'S THERE.

SO THE SCOPE OF WORK THAT'S BEEN OUTLINED IS WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT'S CRITICAL OF COURSE, FIRST, WE'RE ALSO GOING AFTER WHAT'S GOING TO SAVE MONEY AND BRING MORE EFFICIENCIES TO THE PLANT.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS IN THE SCOPE OF WORK THAT AREN'T 100% SELF FUNDING, THAT AREN'T EVEN SAVINGS RELATED, BUT THEIR NEEDS AT THE PLANT REGARDLESS OF THE SAVINGS COMPONENT.

SO IT'S YOUR PROJECT AND WE'RE HERE TO DESIGN THAT WITH YOU IN PARTNERSHIP AND BRING YOUR PLANT BACK UP TO ITS GREATEST OPERATING EFFICIENCY.

AND THE WAY WE START THAT IS TODAY WITH THE FIRST PHASE.

IF YOU'VE GOT ANY QUESTIONS ON SCOPE, I ALSO HAVE BRIAN POTTINGER HERE WITH ME.

HE IS THE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT LEAD ON YOUR PROJECT.

HE'S ALSO LEADING THE BUILDINGS EFFICIENCIES PROJECT, OF WHICH CHRIS MENTIONED.

WE ARE HAVING OUR 30% MEETING TOMORROW AND HAPPY TO FIELD ANY QUESTIONS.

THESE PROJECTS ANTICIPATED TO PAY FOR THEMSELVES? NO, THERE'S THERE'S NOT A WAY TO 100% PAY FOR THE NEEDS THAT ARE AT THAT PLANT.

WHAT WE'RE GOING AFTER IS WHAT WE CAN MAXIMIZE ON SAVINGS AND LEVERAGE THAT ON THE COST OF YOUR PROJECT.

SO WE HAD A FAIRLY GOOD RETURN CLUE.

WE HAD A LITTLE BIT BETTER THAN 30% THERE.

SO WHEN YOU'RE GETTING INTO THE MILLIONS THAT YOU ALL HAVE, THAT CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THE COST.

BUT WE REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT THOSE NUMBERS ARE UNTIL WE GET OUT THERE.

AND AS WE ALL KNOW, ESPECIALLY OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS, THE COST OF THINGS ARE JUST RISING SO QUICKLY THAT WE REALLY CAN'T I DIDN'T I DIDN'T MEAN TO PIN YOU DOWN TO 100%, BUT. THERE WILL BE A SAVINGS GOING TO BE DOING OUT THERE ARE GOING TO OVER A PERIOD OF TIME.

PUT MONEY BACK IN OUR POCKET? THAT'S CORRECT. YOUR EFFICIENCIES WILL INCREASE.

AND WE WILL ALSO BRING A ANALYSIS OF WHAT WE ANTICIPATE THOSE SAVINGS TO BE.

AND DEPENDING ON HOW THE CITY DECIDES TO MONITOR THAT, WE'LL BE ABLE TO TELL RIGHT AT METERS WHAT THE EFFICIENCIES ARE LOOKING LIKE.

SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO SAVE MONEY IN THE SCHEME OF THINGS OR REDIRECTING.

RIGHT. SO WE BOUGHT ENERGY AT THREE AND A HALF CENTS PER KILOWATT.

[00:20:04]

SO IN SEVEN YEARS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO OUT AND.

RENEGOTIATE OUR ENERGY, WHICH NOW IS AT 11 OR $0.12.

UM, SO ARE USING THAT SAME MODEL.

IF WE'RE SAYING $0.12, SEVEN YEARS FROM NOW, WE'RE GOING TO QUADRUPLE OUR ENERGY COST.

WHAT THIS IS GOING TO DO IS HELP BRING THAT NUMBER, THAT NUMBER DOWN, MITIGATE.

SO I JUST WANT TO BE CAREFUL TO SAY WE'RE NOT GOING TO SAVE ON OUR ENERGY BILL.

WE'RE GOING TO SAVE ON THE IMPACT OF WHATEVER ENERGY PRICES ARE SEVEN YEARS FROM NOW.

AND NOW'S THE TIME TO ACT.

I MEAN, ISN'T THE IDEA TO CREATE GREATER EFFICIENCY IN THE SYSTEM? SO, I MEAN.

WELL, IT'S JUST LIKE THE BLOWERS RIGHT NOW.

THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY'RE ON ALL THE TIME BECAUSE THEY'RE ON OFF SWITCH.

HAVING THEM ON VARIABLE BLOWERS SAVES ENERGY, SAVE, WEAR AND TEAR ON THE PLANT.

SO IT CREATES THOSE KIND OF EFFICIENCIES TOO, ON OPERATIONS.

YEAH. YEAH. AND WE WON'T WE WON'T SEE THOSE TOMORROW.

EVEN IF WE DID ENERGY SAVINGS TODAY, IT WE'LL SEE THAT OVER A LONGER TIME FRAME.

YEAH. IT'S DEFINITELY AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO SET OURSELVES UP FOR THE FUTURE AND TAKE STEPS TO DO THAT.

YEAH. AND JUST TO IMPROVE THE THE WORKSITE IN GENERAL, JUST FOR CONDITIONS AND.

WEAR AND TEAR ON THE EQUIPMENT BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY IN.

REPAIRABLE SHAPE. I'LL SAY THAT.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? THIS IS A DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ITEM.

WELL, I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT COUNCIL APPROVE THE AGREEMENT WITH SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC.

WE HAVE A MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND, TERRY.

OKAY. WE HAVE A SECOND FROM A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER GONGORA.

A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER ROBERTS.

CALL FOR THE VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? OKAY. MOTION CARRIES.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

MOVING ON TO REGULAR AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SIX, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON RESOLUTION 20230627006.

[6. Discussion and possible action on Resolution No. 20230627-006 granting consent to the creation of Brazoria County Municipal Utility District No. 82 per the development agreement with Anchor Holdings MP, LLC and Wildrock Holdings with the City of Angleton, Texas for the Ashland Development.]

HEY, OTIS. GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.

THIS IS AN ITEM RELATED TO THE ASHLAND DEVELOPMENT.

AS YOU RECALL, THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT HAS BEEN EXECUTED AS OF JUNE 6TH, AND AS A PART OF THAT, THERE ARE SOME TIME SENSITIVE DEADLINES THAT WILL BE BRINGING BEFORE YOU, ONE OF WHICH IS TONIGHT THE SUPPORT AND CREATION OR CONSENT OF THE MUD NUMBER 82, WHICH WAS, OF COURSE, ESTABLISHED BY LEGISLATURE BACK IN 2021.

AND AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT'S BEEN EXECUTED, THE CITY HAS AGREED THAT WITHIN 30 DAYS WE WOULD OF COURSE CONSENT TO THAT CREATION WITHIN THE SUPPORT OF DOCUMENTS.

THERE IS A DOCUMENT THAT ACTUALLY SHOWS THE 911 OR SO ACRES OF THE MUD, AND WE HAVE THE REVISION OF THE RED MARK IN WHICH I POINTED OUT WE NEEDED TO UPDATE THE ETJ.

SO WE'VE ATTACHED THAT WE'LL HAVE THE CITY SECRETARY ATTACH THAT REVISION THAT SHOWS THE COMPLETION OF THAT ETJ EXPANSION IN WHICH COUNCIL DID PUT THE DEVELOPMENT FULLY IN THE ETJ.

SO YOU'RE BEING RECOMMENDED BY ADMINISTRATION TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION WHICH WOULD CREATE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, ARTICLE TWO, SECTION 2.02, WHICH OF COURSE WE'RE CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED TO DO.

SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I ARE LEGAL CAN ANSWER THOSE AND THE APPLICANTS ARE HERE.

IF THERE ARE SOME PARTICULAR QUESTIONS REGARDING THE MUD NUMBER 82.

JUDITH. WHAT? ARE WE GOOD? OKAY.

OKAY. WE ARE GOOD.

I MEAN, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT THERE'S TWO THINGS.

THIS MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT WAS CREATED BY LEGISLATION TWO YEARS AGO.

IT'S ALREADY IN EXISTENCE.

HOWEVER, IT NEEDS TO BE APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE CITY.

AND WHEN WE APPROVED AND EXECUTED THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, THERE WAS A CLAUSE IN THERE THAT SAYS WITHIN X AMOUNT OF DAYS WE HAVE TO DO THIS.

SO WE'RE JUST ON TRACK.

TWO THINGS THAT WE'VE ALREADY BROUGHT TO YOU PREVIOUSLY.

[00:25:02]

OKAY. LET'S MOVE TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 20230627006 TO GRANT CONSENT TO THE FORMATION OF THE BRAZORIA COUNTY MUD NUMBER 62.

SIR. I'M 82.

TYPO. WE KNEW WHAT YOU MEANT.

ONE QUICK QUESTION BEFORE I CALL FOR A VOTE.

ACTUALLY, DO WE HAVE A SECOND ON THAT MOTION? I'LL SECOND. OKAY, WE HAVE A SECOND.

WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER BUTH, A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER GONGORA.

BEFORE WE CONTINUE ON, THE QUESTION THAT MR. BUTH HAD REGARDING THE CREATION OF THE MUD UTILITY, THE MUD DISTRICT BY THE LEGISLATURE, THAT WAS ONLY AFTER US CITY COUNCIL ACTING RIGHT? IT WAS, I THOUGHT, BY OUR AGREEMENT IN THE VERY BEGINNING, OVER TWO YEARS AGO.

YES. I MEAN THEY SOMEBODY CAME TO CITY COUNCIL, PRESENTED AND ASKED FOR THE CREATION OF A MUD DISTRICT, AND THEN CITY COUNCIL AGREED UPON THAT.

OKAY. AND THEN FROM THAT, THIS PROCESS IS SLOWLY WORKED ITS WAY TO TODAY.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

SO WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DISCUSSION BEFORE I CALL FOR A VOTE? OKAY. SO ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE? AYE. ALL OPPOSED.

I THE.

THE MOTION CARRIES.

ALL RIGHT. NUMBER SEVEN, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE APPROVAL OF THE FINAL PLAT FOR ANGLETON PARK PLACE SUBDIVISION.

[7. Discussion and possible action on the approval of a Final Plat for Angleton Park Place Subdivision Section 1.]

AND WE HAVE OTIS KEN.

HELLO AGAIN. THIS IS A CONSIDERATION FOR A POSSIBLE ACTION OF THE ANGLETON PARK PLACE DIVISION, SECTION ONE, WHICH IS LOCATED, OF COURSE, ON EAST PHILLIPS AND GIFFORD ROAD.

IN TERMS OF THAT INTERSECTION, 17.72 ACRE SITE, THEY ARE REQUESTING SECTION ONE TO BE APPROVED AS THE FINAL PLAT FOR 50 LOTS. THERE'S BEEN SOME ADJUSTMENTS IN THE PAST.

MR. MIKE MORGAN IS EAGER TO BEGIN THE CONSTRUCTION.

WE, OF COURSE, HELD THIS AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION A MONTH AGO IN WHICH THE RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL DID GO AND THEY HAVE OF COURSE RECOMMENDED TO COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL OF THE PLAT WITH A 4 TO 0 VOTE AND THE ONLY OUTSTANDING COMMENT, I THINK, HAS TO DO WITH THE ANGLETON DRAINAGE DISTRICT NOTE IN WHICH THE APPLICANT WILL SATISFY THOSE FINAL REQUIREMENTS.

OTHER THAN THAT, ALL OF THE TEXTURAL CHANGES HAVE BEEN CLEARED.

LEGAL AND STAFF ARE WORKING ON THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WHICH WILL ADDRESS ALL THE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE.

SO THAT DOCUMENT HAS BEEN GONE BACK AND FORTH WITH US AND THE APPLICANT TO ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS, SO I'D BE GLAD TO ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS.

ALSO, BAKER LAWSON IS HERE IF THERE'S SOME PARTICULAR QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT.

AND THIS PARTICULAR ITEM IS TIME SENSITIVE IN TERMS OF US APPROVING IT WITHIN THE 30 DAY TIME PERIOD.

NOW, IF I'M REMEMBERING CORRECTLY, OTIS, THIS IS A THIS PLOT HAS INDIVIDUAL LOTS.

CORRECT. THEY HAVE EACH HAVE THEIR OWN ADDRESS.

IT'S A PRE MANUFACTURED SUBDIVISION, THE WAY IT'S LAID OUT.

AND THEY WILL HAVE THE HOMES SITUATED SIMILAR TO A SUBDIVISION LAYOUT AS OPPOSED TO YOUR MOBILE HOME PARK PER SE.

AND THEY WILL HAVE SEPARATE ADDRESSES.

THE IDEA IS THAT IT WOULD BE A PURCHASE TYPE OF ARRANGEMENT.

AND WHAT OTHER.

AS FAR AS I GUESS FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE, THE ROADWAYS, THE BOULEVARDS, THEY MEET OUR TRADITIONAL SUBDIVISION STANDARDS? YES, SIR. AND THE IDEA WAS TO HAVE THE DUAL ACCESS OUT.

AT FIRST THEY WERE GOING TO TRY TO DEVELOP GIFFORD ROAD, BUT THERE WERE SO MANY CHALLENGES WITH THAT COUNTY RIGHT OF WAY AND ALSO THE PRESERVED RIGHT OF WAY QUESTIONS THAT THEY.

CHOSE TO DO THE TWO ACCESS POINTS OFF OF PHILLIPS.

EAST PHILLIPS ROAD.

PHILLIPS ROAD, SO THEY WOULD MEET ALL THE SUBDIVISION REQUIREMENTS.

WILL THERE EVENTUALLY BE ACCESS? I GUESS THERE VERMONT ROAD OFF OF THAT GUILFORD ROAD.

THAT WOULD BE A FUTURE CONNECTION ONCE THAT ROAD WOULD COME THROUGH.

OKAY. AND THEY WILL ADJUST THE PLAN ACCORDINGLY.

IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE CITY LIMITS LINE IS THE WEST LINE OF THAT PLATTED ROAD.

YES. BY A COUPLE OF FEET.

[00:30:02]

AND WITH THAT RIGHT NOW BE IS THAT A DITCHED.

CURRENTLY THE WAY THAT RIGHT OF WAY IS.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE AN EXISTING DITCH SITUATION.

BUT I THINK IN THE FUTURE YOU WOULD SEE SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT DUE TO THE RIGHT OF WAY ALIGNMENT.

ANY OTHER CONCERNS? QUESTIONS? HOW MANY QUESTIONS I HAVE IS YOU WANT SECTION ONE, BUT IT'S WRITTEN A LOT.

ONE ON THE DRAWINGS.

IS THERE DO WE HAVE.

THEY BOTH THE SAME.

I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T HEAR THAT.

I'M SORRY. SO YOU'RE RECOMMENDING SECTION ONE ON FOR THE.

FOR THE FIRST 50 LOTS? YES, SIR. AND AND ON THE PAPERWORK, THEY'RE SAYING LOT ONE.

SHOULD WE BE CONSISTENT? PLEASE IGNORE PAGE TWO OR IT WOULD BE PAGE 89IN YOUR DOCUMENT.

THERE WAS A GHOST DOCUMENT THAT SHOWED UP AND YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THAT DOCUMENT.

IT'S PAGE 89.

SO THAT'S FROM FROM YOUR NEXT PROBABLY ITEM.

SOMEHOW IT SHOWED UP ON THIS PARTICULAR CASE.

SO I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.

I SEE. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT THE FINAL PLAT OF ANGLETON PARK PLACE SUBDIVISION, SECTION ONE, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF DEVELOPMENT.

I GUESS THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT? YES, SIR. OKAY.

WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER BOOTH.

IS THERE ANY SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER ROBERTS? ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? QUESTIONS? COMMENTS.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL CALL FOR A VOTE.

ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

AYE. ANY OPPOSED? OKAY. MOTION CARRIES.

ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO REGULAR AGENDA ITEM NUMBER EIGHT DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE APPROVAL OF THE FINAL REPLAT FOR PT PATRICK THOMAS ESTATE FOR A

[8. Discussion and possible action on the approval of a Final replat for PT Patrick Thomas Estate, for a 7.732 -acre subdivision, 1-Block, 2 Lots, 1 Reserve. ]

THANK YOU. YES, SIR.

THIS IS THE FINAL PLAT FOR PATRICK THOMAS ESTATE.

7.732 ACRES IN WHICH THERE'S TWO LOTS AND ONE RESERVE.

ONE RESERVE IS BEING USED FOR DETENTION.

AND AS YOU RECALL, THE COMMERCIAL TRACK WILL BE USED FOR STORAGE IN WHICH THEY HAVE COPIED THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS WHICH HAVE BEEN REVIEWED BY THE CITY ENGINEER AS WELL AS THE PLAT ITSELF.

WE HAVE A FEW COMMENTS THAT WENT THROUGH THE REVIEW PROCESS, A COUPLE OF TEXTURAL CHANGES WHICH HAVE ALL BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE APPLICANT AND THIS WENT BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION AS WELL WITH THE THAT SHOULD BE 4 TO 0 VOTE AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THIS PLAT BEING THAT IT WOULD MEET ALL OF THOSE STANDARDS OF THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE.

AND THAT WAS ONE FINAL SIGN OFF BY THE ANGLETON DRAINAGE DISTRICT THAT WILL BE REQUIRED IN THE END.

AND IT LOOKS TO ME THAT PAGE 89 IS ALSO PAGE 141.

YES, SIR. OKAY.

MM. SO MY QUESTION IS NOT NECESSARILY DIRECTED DIRECTLY TO THIS PARTICULAR TRACK.

DURING THE LAST TIME I MAYBE I'M CONFUSING THIS WITH A DIFFERENT TRACK, BUT ONE OF THE DISCUSSIONS WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST WAS TO HAVE OTIS OR MEMBERS FROM SOMEWHERE IN CITY HALL TO START LOOKING WITHIN THE CITY TO FIND TRACKS THAT ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE SURROUNDING AREAS.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WAS PLOTTED A LONG TIME AGO, PROBABLY WHEN THIS WAS THE FAR NORTH OF THE CITY.

THE CITY IS NOW GROWN AROUND IT.

YOU KNOW, I HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT ITS LOCATION NEXT TO RESIDENTIAL.

AND I'M NOT SO MUCH WORRIED ABOUT THIS, BUT HAVE WE DONE THAT? HAVE WE LOOKED INTO THESE OTHER POCKETS OF THE CITY AND WHERE THERE'S POSSIBLE CONFLICTING PLOTS THAT WOULD BE INCONSISTENT WITH THE CURRENT MAKEUP AND THE GROWTH OF THE CITY THAT WOULD BE ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT YOU'LL BE COVERING IN YOUR JULY 11TH WORK SESSION.

OKAY. IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE BRINGING BACK TO YOU.

SO WE'LL BE DISCUSSING THAT ITEM THEN.

SO THAT'S A 5:00 WORKSHOP TO COUNCIL THAT NIGHT.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

AND I WILL SAY THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS DUE TO BE UPDATED AS WELL.

WE'RE WORKING ON A GRANT TO FACILITATE THAT STUDY AND UPDATE SO THAT WE'LL HAVE ALSO A PLAN THAT'S CONGRUENT WITH THE DIRECTION OF THE CITY.

[00:35:06]

I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG AGO THAT'S BEEN LAST REEVALUATED, BUT OBVIOUSLY WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF GROWTH.

WE'VE KNOW JUST PRESENTED HERE AT COUNCIL THE NUMBER OF SUBDIVISIONS THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT FORTH.

JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T END UP WITH.

YOU KNOW, A DUMP AND I MEAN LITERALLY LIKE A LANDFILL IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN OR SOMETHING, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T CHANGE THE CHANGE, THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS.

YES, SIR. AND WE HAVE GOTTEN OTHER INQUIRIES NORTH ON VELASCO AND THOSE AREAS TO THE NORTH THAT FIT THAT CATEGORY IN WHICH YOU DESCRIBED, WHERE INDIVIDUALS ARE ACTUALLY TRYING TO REZONE THE COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL.

SO YOU MAY BE SEEING SOME OF THAT ACTIVITY.

OKAY. THANK YOU. GOOD.

ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY ITEMS TO DISCUSS OR QUESTIONS FOR OTIS OR.

I WOULD JUST ASK IF THEY COULD CONSIDER GOING WITH A NATURAL NEUTRAL COLOR SCHEME FOR THEIR BUILDING.

THEY'RE LISTENING, THAT'S ALL.

MR. THOMAS IS HERE.

HE HEARD THAT.

WOULD THAT BE ALL RIGHT? GREAT, SOMETHING THAT JUST BLENDS IN.

ONE OF THE BIG ORANGE COMMERCIAL ONES.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

YEAH, I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW THE TIMES PERSONALLY, BUT I KNOW OF THEM AND OR OF YOU ALL, AND I KNOW THAT THEY'VE BEEN AROUND TOWN AND DEFINITELY ARE A PART OF THE COMMUNITY. AND I UNDERSTAND THIS IS AN INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM AND.

YOU KNOW, EVERYONE IS.

HAS THE RIGHT TO BEAR THEIR LIVES IN WHICHEVER WAY.

AND I THINK THAT I THINK THAT THEY'LL DO A GOOD JOB WITH SOME MAYBE SOME LANDSCAPING AND, YOU KNOW, HELPING WITH BEAUTIFICATION OF ANGLETON.

YES, SIR. THANK YOU.

WELL, I'LL SAY JUST GENERALLY SPEAKING, THAT WHILE I CERTAINLY AGREE WITH EVERYBODY, OPPORTUNITY TO ENHANCE AND YOU KNOW.

PROFIT ANYWAY. WE WE DO HAVE ZONING RULES HERE IN THE CITY OF ANGLETON.

SO IT'S NOT I MEAN, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE TRYING TO BALANCE.

YEAH. WHAT'S BEST FOR THE INDIVIDUAL AND WHAT'S BEST FOR THE CITY.

SO THERE'S ALWAYS THAT BALANCE.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT ROLE OF GOVERNMENT YOU PLAY.

SO BUT.

THAT'S JUST A GENERAL BIG PICTURE IDEA, RIGHT? NO, AND I AGREE WITH THAT.

IF IF THIS WAS STARTING FROM SCRATCH.

I AGREE THIS SHOULD PROBABLY BE RESIDENTIAL, BUT IT IS WHERE WE'RE AT AND I DON'T THINK.

I THINK THIS OPTION IS BETTER THAN A HIGH TRAFFIC BUSINESS.

I DON'T SEE THIS STORAGE UNITS BEING VERY HIGH TRAFFIC IN AND OUT, ESPECIALLY ON THIS ROADWAY.

I THINK SOMETHING WITH LOWER TRAFFIC IS IDEAL.

SO I UNDERSTOOD IT DEFINITELY COME IN HANDY WHEN WE LIVED ON RIMFIRE.

OKAY, SO THIS IS A POSSIBLE ACTION ITEM.

ANY ACTION? LIKE A MOTION THAT WE.

APPROVED THE FINAL REPLAY FOR THE PATRICK THOMAS ESTATE FOR THE 7.732 ACRE SUBDIVISION, ONE BLOCK, TWO LOTS, ONE RESERVE. CAN WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER ROBERTS ANY SECONDS.

SECOND. SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER BOOTH.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION BEFORE A CALL FOR A VOTE? I CALL FOR A VOTE? ALL IN FAVOR.

SAY AYE. AYE.

AYE. ANY OPPOSED? OKAY. MOTION CARRIES.

ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO NUMBER NINE.

[9. Update, discussion and possible action on the Stasny Ranch Development for a proposed 331-acre residential development, including (79) ½-acre lots and (157) 1-Acre Lots located at the northwest intersection of SH 288 and SH 35.]

AND AGAIN, OTIS, GOOD TO SEE YOU.

AND I'M JUST INTRODUCING THIS ITEM.

I'LL MOVE OUT OF THE WAY.

WE JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT STAFF DID SPONSOR THE DOG DEVELOPMENT WORKING GROUP MEETING FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROPOSAL IN WHICH STASSNEY IS COMING BACK TO YOU WITH A DIFFERENT PROPOSAL.

AND WITHIN THAT MEETING WE RAISED A FEW CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE IN THE MEMO THAT OUTLINE THAT CONVERSATION.

[00:40:03]

SO WE'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THEREAFTER.

OKAY. AND WE HAVE SOMEONE HERE TO SPEAK FROM STASSNEY.

IF YOU GO AHEAD AND YOURSELF, PLEASE.

SURE WILL. MY NAME IS PARK PATTERSON.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVEN'T MET YET, I WORK WITH BARONS LAND GROUP.

WE'RE THE WE'VE HAD SEVERAL MEETINGS, OF COURSE, BUT WE'RE THE POTENTIAL BUYERS OF THIS 304 ACRE TRACT.

WE'VE GONE THROUGH AT THE LAST MEETING, I TOLD YOU HOW MANY DIFFERENT VARIATIONS OF THE PLAN WE'VE GONE THROUGH.

WE'VE. WE FEEL LIKE WE HAVE FINALLY SETTLED ON THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE, AT LEAST FOR US AND FOR THE PROPERTY.

AND YOU CAN SEE IN THE MEMO, I WON'T GO THROUGH ALL THE REASONS WHY WE MADE THE CHANGES, BUT WE ARE WHERE WE ARE AND WE HOPE TO HAVE ABOUT SOMEWHERE AROUND TO BETWEEN 200 AND 36, 250 HALF ACRE, WHICH IS MINIMUM AND ONE ACRE LOTS ROUGHLY DIVIDED 50, 50, 50%.

WE'RE STILL WORKING WITH THE LAND PLAN TO WORK AROUND DRAINAGE AND THE TREES AND ROADWAYS.

SO THOSE NUMBERS ARE GOING TO CHANGE A LITTLE BIT, BUT.

THE AT THE AT THE DIRECTION OF STAFF.

AND WE REALLY APPRECIATED THE PUSH TO MOVE TO THE COUNTY.

WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL MEETINGS WITH THE COUNTY COMMISSIONER CADE AND THE ENGINEERING STAFF AND THEY'RE IN FULL AGREEMENT AND SUPPORT OF THIS PLAN.

THE THERE'LL BE ALL PUBLIC STREETS AT THE END OF THE DAY WHEN THE WHEN THE PROJECTS DEVELOP, THEY WILL THEY'VE CONFIRMED THAT THEY'LL MAINTAIN THE ACCEPT AND MAINTAIN THE STREETS SUBJECT TO THEIR RESTRICTIONS FOR HOW THE STREETS ARE DESIGNED AND BUILT.

JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO THINGS THINGS HAVE CHANGED DRAMATICALLY AROUND US FOR EVERY CITY IN TEXAS, BASICALLY.

BUT JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO, THE STATE LEGISLATURE PASSED SENATE BILL 2083 AND WHICH CHANGES HOW ETJS ARE DEALT WITH BY CITIES AND BY PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THE ETJS.

SO UPON CLOSING, THIS IS MORE OF AN UPDATE ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO HAPPEN, WE THINK, IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

BUT UPON CLOSING, WE'LL BE SUBMITTING A REQUEST TO BE REMOVED FROM THE ETJ.

AND THEN FOLLOWING THAT, THERE IS A AND YOU CAN SEE IT ON ONE OF YOUR SLIDES IN FACT.

THERE'S A CITY LIMIT MAP.

THAT'S OUR NEW LAND PLAN.

YELLOW IS HALF ACRE.

GREEN IS ONE ACRE.

AND OF COURSE, BLUE IS DETENTION.

AND FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT IN THE AUDIENCE THAT DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS IS, THIS IS THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF 35 AND 288 DIRECTLY NORTH OF BUC-EE'S, WHICH IS ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER THERE.

THE YOU CAN BARELY SEE IT.

BUT ON THE WEST SIDE OF 288, THE EAST SIDE OF OUR PROPERTY IS A CITY LIMIT LINE.

IT'S VERY LIGHT.

THERE'S ANOTHER MAP IN THE PACKAGE THAT SHOWS A LITTLE BIT BETTER WHERE THE CITY LIMIT LINE IS, BUT WE'LL BE REQUESTING TO BE ANNEXED THAT PORTION. IT'S A STRIP THAT IS ROUGHLY RUNS 260FT.

CAN WE GO TO THAT SLIDE, PLEASE? OH, THERE YOU GO.

THAT RED LINE YOU CAN SEE COMES IN ROUND NUMBERS, 260FT ON THE SOUTH, AND IT WIDENS OUT A LITTLE BIT TO THE NORTH.

THAT WOULD TAKE IN ABOUT 20 OR SO.

A PLUS OR MINUS A FEW HALF LOTS.

SO YOU WOULD LITERALLY HAVE YOU CAN COMPARE IT TO THE THE LAND PLAN, BUT YOU WOULD LITERALLY HAVE ABOUT 20 LOTS THAT ARE INSIDE, PARTLY INSIDE THE CITY LIMITS, PARTLY IN THE COUNTY.

AND THEN THE REST OF THE ENTIRE CALL IT, 230 LOTS WOULD BE FULLY IN THE COUNTY.

SO WE SEE THAT AND WE DISCUSS THIS WITH STAFF.

WE SEE THAT AS A.

MANAGEMENT NIGHTMARE, SO TO SPEAK, WITH PEOPLE WONDERING WHICH ENTITIES ARE IN CHARGE, WHO DO THEY CALL FOR POLICE AND FIRE? IF HALF THEIR LOT IS IN HALF, THEIR LOT IS OUT.

TAXES WOULD BE VARIED.

PEOPLE IN THE CITY WOULD PAY A DIFFERENT TAX RATE THAN PEOPLE ACROSS THE STREET, AND THEY'D ONLY BE PAYING TAXES ON HALF A LOT VERSUS A FULL LOT.

[00:45:06]

AND SO WE THINK IT MAKES A WHOLE LOT OF SENSE TO DE-ANNEX THAT PART OF THE PROPERTY.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THIS IS MORE OF AN UPDATE SINCE WE COMMITTED EARLY ON TO STAFF AND TO YOU THAT AS THINGS PROGRESSED, WE WOULD ALWAYS KEEP YOU INFORMED AND. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING.

WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANY KIND OF ACTION OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT TONIGHT.

IS YOUR PROPOSED SOUTH BOUNDARY LINE? COUNTY ROAD 28.

YES, SIR. WILL THIS BE DONE IN PHASES? YES, RIGHT NOW, IN FACT, IF YOU GO TO THE LAND PLAN, IT MAY HAVE IT ON THERE BASICALLY TWO PHASES.

SO LET'S SAY 250 LOTS WOULD PUT ABOUT 125 LOTS ON THE GROUND PER PHASE, PLUS OR MINUS.

WOULD YOU PAY FEES IN LIEU OF PARKLAND DEDICATION? IN THE COUNTY? NO.

SO I MEAN, JUST KIND OF SET THE PAINT, THE PICTURES.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN COUNTY.

YOU REALLY DON'T NEED APPROVAL FROM US.

YOU WOULD NEED APPROVAL BECAUSE YOU WANT US TO CONSIDER PROVIDING YOU WITH WATER.

POTENTIALLY, YES.

WE HAVE OTHER OPTIONS FOR WATER.

WELL, I'LL SAY ONE OTHER OPTION FOR WATER.

OF COURSE. BWR IS OFF THE TABLE.

IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE.

CITY WATER IS SUBJECT TO IT BEING AFFORDABLE.

LET'S CALL IT WOULD BE SOMETHING WE'D BE HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT.

OTHER THAN THAT, WE'LL WE'LL PLAN OUR OWN WATER PLANT IN THE COUNTY.

WOULD YOU NEED A WASTEWATER CONNECTIONS AS WELL? NO, SIR. THESE WILL BE SEPTIC TANKS ON EACH INDIVIDUAL LOT.

OH, OKAY. SO.

SO I. THE REASON WHY I ASK THE QUESTION ABOUT FEES IN LIEU OF PARKLAND, THEY'RE GOING TO BE AT THE CITY'S DOOR.

RIGHT. SO STICKY IS WHAT, QUARTER MILE AWAY.

SO ALL THOSE RESIDENTS THAT AREN'T GOING TO HAVE PARKS ARE GOING TO GO MIGRATE TO CITY PARKS.

LAKESIDE, JUST LIKE WE DID WITH ASHLAND.

WE ASKED FOR FEES IN LIEU OF PARKLAND FOR THE SAME SAME REASON.

AND ALL THEIR CHILDREN WILL PLAY LITTLE LEAGUE AND SOCCER AND SOFTBALL AND ADD TO THE WEAR AND TEAR OF OUR FACILITY.

THEY DRIVE ON OUR ROADS TO WALMART AND KROGER.

AND THE COUNTY IS OKAY WITH HAVING SUCH SMALL LOTS ON SEPTIC TANKS SO CLOSE TOGETHER.

WE'RE NOT WORRIED ABOUT POSSIBLE SMELLS FROM THEM ALL GOING OFF AT THE SAME TIME.

WELL, THERE THEY ARE, HALF ACRE LOTS, WHICH IS MUCH BIGGER THAN THE MINIMUM CITY LOT SIZE.

I COULDN'T FIND ANY MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR THEIR SEPTIC SYSTEMS, BUT MONTGOMERY COUNTY HAS AN ACRE AND A HALF MINIMUM FOR A SEPTIC SYSTEM. YEAH, WITH.

WE ACTUALLY HAVE A PROJECT IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY WITH LARGE LOTS AND IT'S IT'S ONE ACRE IF YOU HAVE A PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM.

YES. AND THIS WILL BE IT WON'T BE OWNED BY THE PUBLIC.

IT'LL BE OWNED BY A PRIVATE ENTITY, BUT IT'LL BE A SYSTEM TO SERVE THE PUBLIC IN THAT SUBDIVISION.

OKAY. SO NOT INDIVIDUAL LOT, CORRECT? YEAH, THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING.

IF YOU HAVE A WATER WELL AND A SEPTIC TANK ON THE SAME LOT, WE WON'T DO THAT.

YEAH. YOU CAN ONLY PUT THEM SO CLOSE TOGETHER.

YEAH. YEAH. AND ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT THE.

YOUR DETENTION POND.

IT'S RIGHT UP AGAINST THE HIGHWAY.

IT'S JUST GOING TO AMPLIFY THE SOUND INTO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

NO, WE'RE WE'RE DESIGNING THE DETENTION NOT ONLY IN SIZE, BUT IN LOCATION TO BEST FIT THE TOPOGRAPHY, WHICH IS MOSTLY FLAT.

BUT WE YOU KNOW, THAT'S AN ENGINEERING CALCULATION THAT TO BEST TAKE INTO ACCOUNT EVERYTHING THAT YOU CAN IMAGINE, THE TREES, THE THE LOT LOCATIONS, THE ROADWAY DESIGNS, THE THE DRAINAGE, THE TOPOGRAPHY, THE SIZE OF THE OR THE AMOUNT OF THE OF THE DRAINAGE, ALL TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT BY ENGINEERS.

AND WE DO OUR BEST TO LOCATE IT WHERE WE THINK THE ENGINEERS WHERE THEY THINK IT SHOULD BE LOCATED AND IT'LL GO THROUGH SEVERAL LAYERS OF ENGINEERING REVIEW.

NOT ONLY OUR ENGINEERS.

OBVIOUSLY, BUT THEN THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT AS WELL, AND THE STRIP OF LAND THAT THEY WANT US TO ANNEX WAS THAT ORIGINALLY THAT WAS FOR HOPES OF COMMERCIAL, WASN'T IT?

[00:50:02]

YEAH. THAT LITTLE STRIP ALONG TO 88, THAT WAS JUST 22, 88 AND 28 STILL HAVE THE SMALL STRIP.

I GUESS THAT WOULD BE ACCESSIBLE BY 35.

YEAH. THE LAND ON 28 ON THE I SAID I SAID 20, 28 TO 80, I MEANT 28 AND 35 I'M SORRY.

COUNTY ROAD 28 AND STATE HIGHWAY TO 35.

THAT'S IN THE CITY LIMITS.

RIGHT. THAT WOULD REMAIN IN THE CITY LIMITS.

YEAH. NO, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE WHOLE NORTH SOUTH.

THE ALONG THE FRONTAGE.

YEAH. I BELIEVE WITH THE LAST.

PROPOSAL THAT WE SAW, IT WAS MOST OF THAT WAS INDUSTRIAL OR LIGHT.

INDUSTRIAL? YEAH.

YEAH, I MEAN, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, YES, THAT WAS GOING TO BE A ACCESS POINT TO TRAVERSE THEIR INDUSTRIAL PARK THAT WAS GOING TO BE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THAT PLOT. YEAH.

YEAH, I'M TALKING ABOUT PRIOR TO THAT.

I KNOW. I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

I, I DON'T KNOW IF WE'D EVER GET THAT.

I'LL JUST BE HONEST, BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION, I DON'T KNOW IF WE'D EVER GET.

TEX DOT WHATEVER. PROVIDE US A A FRONTAGE ROAD, SO TO SPEAK, BETWEEN 44 AND 35.

BUT WE WILL. WE WILL NEVER GET IT.

WELL, WE'LL NEVER GET IT CORRECT.

YEAH. NO, I MEAN, WE'RE CLOSING THAT OPPORTUNITY OFF.

THAT'S. THAT'S FOR SURE.

WE EXPLORED THAT.

I APPRECIATE THAT. THAT POINT.

WE EXPLORED THAT WHEN WE HAD THE INDUSTRIAL PLAN AND A LOT MORE COMMERCIAL THAT'S ABOUT IN TODAY'S DOLLARS, ABOUT AN $8 MILLION FRONTAGE ROAD AND AT LEAST A YEAR OF DESIGN AND APPROVAL.

SO LET'S SAY THAT AT LEAST A YEAR, ONCE IT GET GETS BUILT, LET'S SAY IF WE STARTED TODAY, THAT'S TWO YEARS DOWN THE ROAD.

AND THAT $8 MILLION IS PROBABLY A $10 MILLION FRONTAGE ROAD.

SO YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A STRIP RETAIL.

I MEAN, TECHNICALLY, HERITAGE OAK WILL NEVER BE A STRIP RETAIL EITHER.

THAT'S TRUE. ARE Y'ALL PLANNING ON ERECTING A NOISE BARRIER? THERE WILL DEFINITELY BE.

BACKYARD FENCES HAVE NOT TAKEN THAT.

WE DON'T KNOW YET AS THE SHORT ANSWER.

BUT BUT I HEAR YOU THAT'S ANOTHER REASON FOR THE THE PLAN CHANGES IS TO KEEP AS MANY OF THOSE TREES AS POSSIBLE.

A LOT OF THOSE TREES ARE IN THE RIGHT OF WAY, WHICH, OF COURSE, WE'RE NOT TOUCHING.

WE WOULDN'T WANT TO.

THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL. THEY PROVIDE A NOISE BARRIER AND A VISUAL BARRIER.

SO THE TREES THAT ARE RIGHT ALONG THE RIGHT OF WAY, THOSE WILL THOSE WILL STAY.

AND THERE'S QUITE A FEW AND THEY'RE VERY MATURE.

AND THEN THE ONES IN THE BACKYARDS, OF COURSE, WE'RE NOT TOUCHING ANY BACKYARD TREES AT ALL.

THOSE WILL STAY. SO ANOTHER SOURCE OF BARRIER.

SO BUT AS FAR AS LIKE, YOU KNOW, 12 OR 15 FOOT WALL, TALL WALL, NO, THAT'S NOT IN THE PLANS.

SO I.

I REALLY DO LIKE YOUR LATEST ITERATION.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY VERSIONS WE'VE BEEN THROUGH.

NOW, I DO HAVE THE SAME CONCERNS, THOUGH, AS THE CITY MANAGER.

THESE THESE LOTS ARE GOING TO BE ATTRACTIVE.

YOUR LOCATION IS PRIME, JUST LIKE ON THE OTHER SIDE WHERE YOU HAVE HERITAGE.

OAKS IS VERY ATTRACTIVE LOCATION TO LIVE YOUR ACCESS TO TO 88, YOUR ACCESS TO 35.

YOU JUST TALKED ABOUT THE NATURAL TREES, THE TOPOGRAPHY.

IT'S GOING TO BE ATTRACTIVE.

AND I GOT TO IMAGINE THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE FAMILIES LIVING IN THESE HOMES.

AND SO. IT IS SOMETHING FOR US TO LOOK AT.

WE REALLY DO NEED TO WORK WITH YOU ON TRYING TO RECOVER SOME SORT OF PARKLAND DEDICATION FEES BECAUSE YOU LITERALLY ARE BUTTING UP TO OUR SOCCER PARK.

I MEAN, OUR SOCCER FACILITIES.

BG PECK IT'S LITERALLY JUST TO THE NORTH OF YOUR PROPERTY THERE.

WE'LL BE ADDING LIKE LIKE CHRIS TALKED ABOUT BATES PARK, WHICH IS ALSO OUR SOFTBALL ASSOCIATION PLAYS OUT OF THAT SAME FACILITY QUARTER MILE DOWN THE ROAD TO HALF MILE. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THAT FAR.

I MEAN, IT'S JUST IT'S SOMETHING THAT IF WE WERE TO PUT OUR HEADS IN THE SAND AND IGNORE OR EVEN ARGUMENTATIVELY TREAT YOU DIFFERENTLY THAN WE'VE TREATED ASHLAND, YOU KNOW, THERE'S GOT TO BE A LITTLE BIT OF FAIRNESS THERE.

WE CAN'T, YOU KNOW, BE TOUGH ON ASHLAND AND ASK FOR PARKLAND DEDICATION FEES AND THEN, YOU KNOW, TURN A BLIND EYE TO YOU GUYS.

SO I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE REALLY NEED TO TO I DON'T I'M NOT TRYING TO STOP YOUR PROJECT.

THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO.

BUT I THINK WE HAVE TO BE FAIR AND YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE POSITION WE'RE IN.

OKAY. BECAUSE WHILE THESE PEOPLE WON'T TECHNICALLY LIVE IN THE CITY OF ANGLETON, THEY WILL BE IN ANGLETON ISD.

THEY WILL BE SHOPPING AT ANGLETON, MOSTLY AT ANGLETON.

I'M SURE SOME WILL TRAVEL SOUTH AND GO TO LAKE JACKSON OR THE PORT AREA, BUT THEY'RE GOING TO BE LARGELY INVOLVED IN OUR COMMUNITY.

[00:55:05]

SHOULD SHOULD YOU OBTAIN WATER FROM FROM THE CITY? DO YOU INTEND TO PUT A GROUND STORAGE TANK IN YOUR OWN PRESSURIZED SYSTEM OUT THERE? HOW DO YOU HOW DO YOU INTEND TO DISTRIBUTE THE WATER IN THE SUBDIVISION? IT'S ABOUT A $2 MILLION QUESTION.

AND THAT I'M GOING TO LEAVE THAT TO OUR ENGINEERS.

BUT I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT.

OKAY. AND I SAY TWO, MAN, BECAUSE THAT'S THE ANTICIPATED COST THAT WE'VE OUR ENGINEER HAS SAID THIS IS WHAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE.

IF THE CITY WANTED TO SELL YOU WATER JUST TO GET IT THERE.

SO IT'S A VERY EXPENSIVE PROPOSITION AND THAT ADDS ON A WHOLE LAYER OF OTHER THINGS TO GET WATER AND THEN START TO NEGOTIATE OTHER ITEMS THAT THAT, YOU KNOW, MAKE THE PROJECT MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE.

BUT I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT.

I'M PRETTY SURE THAT OUR CURRENT SYSTEM, OUR WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, IS INCAPABLE OF FURNISHING FIRE FLOW PROTECTION AT THE EXTREME END OF YOUR SUBDIVISION.

YEAH, THAT WOULD IMPOSE A NEED FOR THE CITY TO INCREASE ITS POTABLE WATER SYSTEM TO FURNISH YOU FIREFIGHTING CAPABILITIES ON OUR PRESSURE AND VOLUME.

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

THAT'S PART OF THE COST THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO WE WOULD STRUGGLE WITH.

YES, SIR. ABSOLUTELY. AND WE DO WANT TO HAVE FIRE FLOW.

WE'RE NOT HOME BUILDERS, BUT WE WILL SELL TO HOME BUILDERS, AND HOME BUILDERS WANT FIRE FLOW.

AND SO IF WE CAN CONTROL THAT COST BY CONTROLLING OUR OWN WATER, HAVING OUR OWN WATER PLANT, THEN IT'S A LOT LESS THAN THE 2,000,000 MILLION NUMBER.

BUT I HEAR YOU. THAT'S IMPORTANT TO US, TOO.

I'M PRETTY EMPHATIC ABOUT THE FACT THAT IF THE CITY IS GOING TO FURNISH THE WATER TO THIS DEVELOPMENT.

WE CAN'T PROVIDE YOU FIRE FLOW CAPACITY TODAY.

AND IF THAT'S EXPECTED OF US, WELL, THERE'S SOME THERE'S SOME NEGOTIATIONS THAT'S GOING TO HAVE TO COME INTO PLAY.

YEAH. YEAH. SO.

RIGHT. YEAH, PROBABLY THE LARGEST, PROBABLY THE LARGEST WATER MAIN THAT'S GETTING CLOSE TO THIS THING IS ABOUT A EIGHT INCH DIAMETER LINE.

OKAY. AND THAT'S.

THAT'S A DRIBBLE.

YEAH. YEAH.

YEAH. WELL, I'LL BE REAL HONEST.

WE'RE DUE TO CLOSE IN AUGUST, SO WE'VE GOT ABOUT 60 DAYS.

AND CONTROLLING OUR OWN DESTINY BY PUTTING IN OUR OWN WATER PLANT IS A LOT MORE ATTRACTIVE THAN MONTHS AND MONTHS OF NEGOTIATION AND COST BECAUSE IT JUST.

WE HAVE TO CLOSE ON THIS LAND OR LOSE IT.

AND YOU ALL KNOW.

I MEAN, YOU'VE SEEN OUR PLANS.

NO, I MEAN, YOU ALL HAVE BEEN VERY I DON'T WANT TO SAY THE WORD FLEXIBLE, BUT VERY CREATIVE.

I THINK I'LL EXPLORE JUST ABOUT EVERY OPTION FOR THIS LAND.

AND OF COURSE, I SPEAK FOR MYSELF.

I WAS EXCITED ABOUT SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT YOU ALL HAD PRESENTED AND SPECIFICALLY LOOKING AT SOME INDUSTRIAL USE, WHICH I THINK WOULD HELP WITH TAX PURPOSES FOR OUR CITY.

HOWEVER, THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT AND THAT'S FINE.

I UNDERSTAND. BUT I THINK.

I'M CERTAINLY INTERESTED IN THIS PROJECT, AND I THINK MR. BOOTH HAS RAISED SOME QUESTIONS AND COUNCIL MEMBER DANIEL AS WELL AND SO AND MYSELF THAT YOU KNOW.

I'D LOVE TO SEE YOU GO GET THROUGH THIS PROJECT, BUT I DO THINK THERE ARE SOME THINGS WE HAVE TO ANSWER.

AND I KNOW TIME IS SHORT AND I DON'T KNOW HOW WE CAN.

TO HELP YOU ALONG IN THE PROCESS.

BUT THAT'S JUST KIND OF WHERE I STAND ON IT.

YEAH, I. YEAH, I'D HAVE TO AGREE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER TOWNSEND THAT THERE ARE SOME.

FOR. COOPERATION AND.

ASSISTANCE WITH THIS PROJECT.

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF OBSTACLES, BUT I.

I DO LIKE THIS PLAN. I LIKE THE BIGGER LOTS.

I LIKE I THINK THIS IS THE ONE THING THAT'S GOING TO SAVE THE TREES OUT THERE.

AND THAT'S ONE THING THAT EVERYBODY LOVES ABOUT THAT PROPERTY.

THEY GOT THE BEAUTIFUL OAKS.

YEAH. AND AS COUNCIL HAS CONSTANTLY SAID, THEY WANT BIGGER LOTS.

UM, AND EVEN THOUGH THIS ISN'T IN THE CITY LIMITS, IT'S RIGHT OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS.

SO. I'D SAY THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO US ON THAT ASPECT.

[01:00:03]

AND I WISH YOU LUCK.

GREAT. THANK YOU. NOW, THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY AN ACTION ITEM.

IS THERE ANY OTHER POSSIBLE DISCUSSION FROM ANY MEMBERS OF COUNCIL? MISS ROBERTS, YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY? NO. OKAY.

ANYBODY ELSE? OH, ALL RIGHT.

WELL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, MR. PATTERSON.

I APPRECIATE YOUR PRESENTATION, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO HOPEFULLY IRONING OUT SOME OF THESE DETAILS AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET TO A PLACE WHERE EVERYBODY BENEFITS. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. I SEE ON MY AGENDA EXECUTIVE SESSION ITEM NUMBER TEN IS TO DO THAT.

WE DO NOT WE ARE NOT GOING TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.

SO ITEM NUMBER TEN, SO THAT BRINGS US TO OUR FAVORITE PART OF THE NIGHT AND THE FASTEST MEETING I'VE BEEN TO IN A LONG TIME.

WE WILL GO TO ADJOURNMENT AT.
