[9. Conduct a public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a request for approval of a Strategic Partnership Agreement (SPA) to be made and entered into by and between the City of Angleton, Texas, through its City Council, and Brazoria County Municipal Utility District No. 82, under the authority of Section 43.0751 of the Texas Local Government Code.]

CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT TO BE MADE AND ENTERED INTO BY THE AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF ANGLETON, TEXAS, THROUGH ITS CITY COUNCIL AND BRAZORIA COUNTY MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NUMBER 82, UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF SECTION 43.075, ONE OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE. ANYBODY WANT TO SAY ANYTHING BEFORE WE OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING? YOU GO AND THEN I'LL.

JUST INTRODUCE THIS ITEM.

THIS IS THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE SPA AGREEMENT, STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH THE ASHLAND DEVELOPMENT THAT WE DISCUSSED LAST TIME.

SO THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

COUNCIL. THIS IS THE ONE WE LEFT OPEN.

THIS IS THE ONE THAT WE LEFT OPEN.

CONTINUING BECAUSE OF SOME QUESTIONS REGARDING THE SPOT.

AND AS YOU KNOW, AND FOR THE PUBLIC'S PURPOSE.

DISAGREEMENT, OF COURSE, IS TO SHOW THE BENEFITS OF THE CITY.

AND ALSO TO ALLOW FOR THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE MUD DISTRICT AS WELL AS THE CITY TO ACCOMMODATE THE ANNEXATION PROCESS, TIMING AND WHAT HAVE YOU, AND ALSO THE PROVISIONS FOR FIRE SAFETY, SOLID WASTE, AND ALSO RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL TRASH SERVICES AND SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY THE CITY.

REGARDING POLICE PROTECTION AS.

SO I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ADD THAT JUST THIS WEEK, I HAVE HEARD FROM THE MUD ATTORNEY'S THAT THE MUD BOARD HAD THEIR INITIAL MEETING IN JULY, AND AT THAT MEETING THEY DID A DIVISION ORDER AND THEY CREATED TWO MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICTS AND WE DID NOT KNOW. SO THE PURPOSE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING IS TO ALLOW THE PUBLIC TO COME AND COMMENT ON THE CITY ENTERING THE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT, AND BECAUSE THE DRAFT OF THE SPA AGREEMENT THAT HAS BEEN PUBLISHED FOR THE PUBLIC IS GOING TO BE REVISED BY VIRTUE OF THE FACT THAT THERE'S ALREADY BEEN A DIVISION ORDER, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO CONTINUE THIS PUBLIC HEARING BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER VERSION OF THE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT.

IT'S AT THE ATTORNEYS FOR THE MUD RIGHT NOW.

THEY'RE WORKING ON IT.

SO THAT'S A GIVEN.

SO IF THERE IS SOMEONE HERE THAT WANTS TO DISCUSS IT, THAT'S GREAT.

BUT I'M JUST LETTING YOU KNOW WE HAVE TO KEEP IT OPEN BECAUSE OF THE DIVISION ORDER.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE PUBLIC REVIEW THE FINAL VERSION THAT HAS THE DIVISION IN IT.

AND SO WE WILL HAVE YET ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING.

OKAY. AND IF I MIGHT CLARIFY, THIS IS THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE SPA.

I THINK WE WERE CONFUSING IT WITH THE NEXT ITEM, PUBLIC HEARING, WHICH WAS CONTINUED.

THIS IS ACTUALLY A SECOND PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE SPA, RIGHT? SO IT NEEDS TO BE OPENED, RIGHT? RIVERWOODS THE ONE WE LEFT OPEN, RIGHT? YEAH. RIVERWOOD WAS THE ONE LEFT OPEN.

THIS IS SPA NUMBER TWO REQUIRED TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS BEFORE THE COUNCIL.

OKAY. I'M SORRY. WE NEED TO OPEN THIS ONE AND THEN YOU HAVE TO OPEN IT.

COUNCIL, DO I MAKE A MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING? SECOND MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM TOWNSEND.

SECOND BY COUNCILMAN BOOTH.

SO I'M GOING TO INTERRUPT YOU ONE MORE TIME.

STATUTORILY, THE CITY HAS TO HAVE TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS.

STATUTORILY, THE MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT HAS TO HAVE TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS, AND ONLY THEN CAN THE PARTIES EXECUTE.

THE MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT HAS HAD NO PUBLIC HEARINGS YET, SO THIS WILL TAKE A WHILE.

FOLLOW ME. I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. WE ARE NOW IN A PUBLIC HEARING.

ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE WANTS TO SPEAK ON FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM.

PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM, STATE YOUR NAME AND GIVE YOU A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO SPEAK.

ANYBODY AT ALL.

OKAY. DO WE WANT TO LEAVE THIS OPEN OR DO WE WANT TO CLOSE IT? I WOULD PREFER THAT YOU KEEP IT OPEN.

[00:25:01]

OKAY. MAKE A MOTION THAT WE KEEP IT OPEN.

SECOND. DO WE NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND? KEEP IT OVER. YEAH I WOULD.

ALL RIGHT, SO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS OBVIATE THE COST OF PUBLISHING AGAIN.

SO TO MAKE IT REALLY CLEAR IN THE MINUTES.

GOT IT. I HAVE A MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM TOWNSEND A SECOND BY COUNCILMAN ROBERTS TO KEEP IT OPEN.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. IT IS OPEN AND WILL STAY OPEN.

I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS, THOUGH, BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO IT.

WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THIS ITEM AND WE BREAK DOWN THE COST IN.

I KNOW IN THE AGREEMENT WE TALK ABOUT THE SERVICES WE'RE GOING TO PROVIDE, BUT DO WE HAVE ANY TYPE OF COST AND ANALYSIS THAT WE THINK IT'S GOING TO COST THE CITY THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET REIMBURSED FOR? AND CAN WE PUT THAT VERY CLEARLY IN THE MINUTES SO THAT IT'S THERE FOR THE FUTURE? SO I CAN ANSWER PART OF THAT.

TYPICALLY, THE CITY DOESN'T HAVE DOESN'T PAY FOR ANYTHING BECAUSE IT'S IN THE ETJ.

SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT IN THIS SITUATION BECAUSE THE DEVELOPER IS DONATING TWO ACRES OF PROPERTY OF THE DEVELOPMENT TO THE CITY OF ANGLETON FOR USE IN FIRE PROTECTION SERVICES.

SO THIS JUNCTURE, HOW THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AND WHEN THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IS NOT DEFINED.

SO OR EVEN IF SO, THE WAY THE LANGUAGE IS IN THE SPA AGREEMENT THAT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO IT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT.

THERE'S NO OBLIGATION, GENERALLY NO OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE POLICE, NO OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE FIRE PROTECTION, NO OBLIGATION FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT.

NONE OF THAT. BUT IT DOES HAVE IT PROVISIONS FOR IT.

IT THEY'RE IN THERE SAYING IT'S NOT THE CITY'S OBLIGATION.

HOWEVER IF THE CITY CHANGES THEIR MIND.

SO SOME CITIES START THEIR OWN WASTE MANAGEMENT.

TRASH COLLECTION COMPANIES.

SO IF SOMETHING CHANGED AND YOU ACTUALLY WANTED TO DO THAT AND YOU WANTED TO HAVE THIS DEVELOPMENT AS YOUR CUSTOMER.

THE LANGUAGE IS THAT YOU COULD DO THAT IF YOU CHOSE, BUT THERE IS NO STANDING OBLIGATION FOR THE CITY TO PROVIDE ANYTHING IN THE WAY OF THOSE SERVICES. WHEN I READ THAT SECOND BULLET, THOUGH, THAT SAYS PROVISIONS FOR CITY FIRE SERVICES, CITY SOLID WASTE, RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL TRASH SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED THROUGH THE CITY'S CONTRACTED VENDOR AND POLICE PROTECTION ARE OUTLINED IN ARTICLE FOUR.

I JUST THOUGHT MAYBE WE'RE ASSUMING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT IF THEY ARE.

IT'D BE NICE TO KNOW WHAT THAT COST IS, AND IF THERE'S ANY TYPE OF ANY WAY WE'RE GOING TO RECOUP THAT COST.

THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I'M GETTING AT IN MY COMMENTS.

NOW IS THE TIME TO POSE THOSE QUESTIONS, AND WE WILL TAKE THEM TO, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO NEGOTIATE ON THE NEXT VERSION OF THE SPA AGREEMENT. WHY WAS IT SPLIT? DOES ANYBODY KNOW? INTO TWO DIFFERENT MODES.

HANG ON. LET ME GET THERE.

THE PROBLEM IS, IS THAT I'M NOT SURE WHICH.

ARE YOU LOOKING AT THE VERSION THAT'S IN THIS PACKET, THE PDF? OKAY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE THE PREVIOUS VERSION WAS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

UH. ALL RIGHT.

WHAT PAGE ARE YOU ON? I'M ON PAGE 32 OF THE MASTER AGENDA.

IF YOU. THINGS BECAUSE MY COMPUTER IS WAY SLOWER THAN ME.

OKAY. YEAH.

SO I'M SORRY.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO? SO THAT'S WHY THIS IS HIGHLIGHTED.

BECAUSE THIS IS NOT JUST I MEAN, CITY COUNCIL HAS NOT GIVEN ME DIRECTION.

SO THAT'S WHY THIS IS HIGHLIGHTED.

SO IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN THIS LANGUAGE, LET ME KNOW.

AND I WILL CONVEY THAT.

I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE COST THAT WE MIGHT BE INCURRING AT THIS TIME OR THAT POSSIBLE BECAUSE IT SAYS PROVISIONS FOR IT DOESN'T SAY IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT I'D LIKE IT TO BE VERY CLEAR TO THE RESIDENT AND THE PEOPLE HERE THAT LOOK THIS UP AND SAY, OKAY, HERE'S HOW MUCH THIS IS GOING TO COST US FROM A CITY PERSPECTIVE.

OR IF IT'S A PASS THROUGH, THEN IT'S A PASS THROUGH.

BUT WE SHOULD OUTLINE THAT FOR THE PEOPLE.

SO I MEAN, I'LL JUST START WITH THE FIRE.

THE FIRE BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING THE PROPERTY IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

RIGHT. UM, AND I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW IT'S GOING TO GO BECAUSE AT THIS WRITING WE DON'T HAVE THE CAPABILITY. SO THE CITY MANAGER PROBABLY HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THAT.

[00:30:03]

BUT THE WAY THAT I MEANT FOR THIS TO BE INTERPRETED IS THAT IF THE DISTRICT IS GOING TO PROVIDE THE FIRE SUPPRESSION WITHIN THE DISTRICT FIRST, SO WE CAN PUT SOME KIND OF DATE IN THERE ABOUT THE COST, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO KNOW THE COST RIGHT NOW.

SO WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST IS PERHAPS, UM, AND YOU CAN HELP ME OUT THIS ON, WE CAN DO IT BY PHASE.

OR WE COULD DO IT BY ROOFTOPS.

ROOFTOPS WOULD BE GOOD.

2487 HOMES.

RIGHT? ALMOST 3000, AS I RECALL.

SO. THEY'RE GOING TO BE THEY'RE GOING TO BE AN EMERGENCY SERVICES DISTRICT, AREN'T THEY? SO THEY'LL BE TAXED FOR THAT.

BUT WHO'S GOING TO BUILD THE FIRE STATION ESD OR AS A CITY? GO AHEAD CHRIS. SO WE'VE JUST HAD SOME PRELIMINARY CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WITH THE ESD, AND THEY'RE IN SUPPORT OF INCREASING ANGLETON'S RADIUS AS PART OF THE PARTICIPATION IN THE ESD.

SO THE PRELIMINARY CONVERSATIONS WE HAD ARE THOSE TWO ACRES THAT WE WOULD LOAN, LEASE SOMETHING THAT TO THE ESD, THEY WOULD BUILD THE FACILITIES, THEY WOULD FUND THE EQUIPMENT AND, AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS FOR, FOR THAT IT'S NOT A DONE DEAL.

IT'S JUST KIND OF A BECAUSE WE LOOKED AT AUSTINTOWN, NOT A GREAT SITE FOR A BUNCH OF REASONS.

WHEN THIS PROPERTY CAME ON, THAT'S WHY WE ASKED FOR THE TWO ACRES AND THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT SO THAT WHETHER IT'S ANGLETON OR WHETHER IT'S ESD, AND WE WOULD ENTER INTO SOME KIND OF LONG TERM AGREEMENT WHERE THEY WOULD BUILD AND MAINTAIN THE FACILITIES IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE MS, POTENTIALLY, WHO WOULD OWN THE PROPERTY? CITY WOULD THEY WOULD NEED IT TO US.

WELL, ASHLAND PLACE IS SUPPOSED TO DEED US THE PROPERTY SO IT WILL BECOME CITY PROPERTY THAT'LL BE SPELLED OUT IN THE.

IT'S ALREADY IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

SO THAT'S ALREADY THAT'S THAT'S A THAT'S IN THE DEVELOPER'S AGREEMENT.

SO WE'RE ALREADY GETTING THE PROPERTY.

BUT WHAT THAT MEANS IS IT SHIFTS TO THE CITY THAT YOU GET TO CHOOSE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WITH THE PROPERTY.

SO THAT'S ALREADY A COMPONENT OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE? I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER, BUT THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE MUD AND THE COUNTY DICTATES SHE WOULD HAVE TO HELP ME.

AFTER X AMOUNT OF CITIZENS, THEY WILL BE PAYING FOR ONE.

LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER. THE COUNTY WILL BE PAYING FOR ONE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER.

OKAY. I THINK THERE'S JUST A LOT OF QUESTIONS, AND I THINK THAT'S WHY CHANGING ALL THIS AT THE LAST HOUR NEEDS TO MAKE SURE IT'S, WELL, EVEN IF THEY HAD NOT HAD THEIR MEETING IN THEIR DIVISION ORDER, WE WERE NOT READY TO WRITE SO THAT WE WEREN'T READY.

WE WERE NOT THERE.

IT WAS NOT A FINAL DRAFT YET.

OKAY. THE PROBLEM NOW IS THAT WITH THE TWO MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICTS AND JUST FINDING OUT ABOUT THAT IN THE LAST 48 HOURS NOTICE, AND I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD THE TIME TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE LINE IS OR WHAT IS THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY GOING TO BE IN 82, NOT 82 OR THE OTHER? I HAVE NO IDEA.

SO WE'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO SLOG THROUGH, FIND OUT MORE INFORMATION, AND THIS MAY TAKE SEVERAL MONTHS.

OKAY, COUNSEL, ANYTHING FURTHER ON ITEM NUMBER NINE? HEARING NONE MOVING.

ITEM NUMBER TEN CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 20231024010.

[10. Conduct a public hearing, discussion and possible action to approve Resolution No. 20231024-010 authorizing and creating the Riverwood North PID, Public Improvement District for 35.6 acres, located north of Hospital Drive between N. Downing Street to the west and Buchta Road to the east. (Public Hearing left open on 10/10/23)]

AUTHORIZING AND CREATING THE RIVERWOOD NORTH PID PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT FOR 35.6 ACRES.

LOCATED NORTH OF HOSPITAL DRIVE, BETWEEN NORTH DOWNING STREET TO THE WEST AND BUCHTEL ROAD TO THE EAST.

ALL RIGHT. THIS IS THE ONE THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS ALREADY OPEN ON.

SO IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO SPEAK ON FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? GO AHEAD. MICHAEL. GOOD EVENING COUNCIL.

I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO SAY.

I JUST WANTED TO READ THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

WE HAVEN'T REALLY ACTUALLY GONE OVER THE LANGUAGE BEFORE, SO I THOUGHT THAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL FOR YOU GUYS.

SO ITEM J SAYS THE CITY AGREES THAT UPON REQUEST OF THE DEVELOPER AND UPON AT LEAST 25% OF THE LOTS HAVING A HOME CONSTRUCTED THEREON, THE CITY AGREES TO ISSUE FROM TIME TO TIME BONDS SECURED SOLELY BY THE ASSESSMENTS LEVIED ON THE LAWNS.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

[00:35:02]

THANK YOU. MICHAEL. JUST REAL QUICK, MIKE.

WHEN WAS THAT DRAFTED? THIS WAS THE DEVELOPER'S AGREEMENT.

THEY'RE LOOKING AT 20.

IT'S ACTUALLY THE REIMBURSEMENT REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT.

I'M SORRY. IT IS.

2021. MM.

JUDITH, DO YOU HAVE THAT DATE? IF YOU LOOK IN THE VERY FIRST PAGE, IT'S GOT THE DATE.

THE 14TH OF JULY, 2020.

OKAY. YEAH.

BY US. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. MICHAEL. THANK YOU.

ANYBODY ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK ON FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM WHILE WE'RE IN PUBLIC HEARING? OKAY. COUNCIL.

MAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SECOND. MOTION BY COUNCILMAN ROBERTS.

SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN DANIEL TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. WE ARE NOW OUT OF PUBLIC HEARING.

COUNCIL. NOW IT'S UP TO US TO DELIBERATE.

MICHAEL, YOU MIGHT WANT TO JUST GO BACK TO THE PODIUM.

I'LL HAVE QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

I WASN'T GOING TO DO IT IN THE MIDDLE OF A PUBLIC HEARING.

SO IN THE IN THAT REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT, THERE'S NO STIPULATION THAT SAYS YOU CAN DO TWO DIFFERENT PIDS, DOES IT? NO, SIR. IT DID NOT DISTINGUISH ABOUT 1 OR 2 PIDS.

IT JUST TALKED ABOUT THE STRUCTURE OF A BONDED PID.

BUT WE DIDN'T DO A BONDED PIT ON THE FIRST HALF.

REMEMBER, YOU WERE TRYING TO MOVE FAST TO A BONDED PIT, BUT WITH CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES, WE'RE GOING TO PROBABLY ABANDON THAT AND JUST MOVE TO BONDING HALF THE DEAL, WHICH IS SECTIONS THREE AND FOUR.

OKAY. ARE YOU OPEN TO CASH PAID ON THE SECOND HALF? WE'RE NOT OPEN ON THE SECOND HALF.

WE ARE OPEN ON THE FIRST HALF, THOUGH.

OKAY. HOW MANY HOMES IS THIS BID? THIS ONE WOULD COVER 144 HOMES.

IN THE FIRST HALF WAS HOW MANY? 209.

I'D MAKE A JOKE AND ASK, YOU, ARE THE DEER COVERED IN THIS PIT? BUT. A LOT OF PEOPLE UPSET ABOUT THOSE DEER.

I WISH THERE WAS MORE WE COULD DO.

WE TRIED EVERYTHING, BUT APPARENTLY IF WE TRIED TO MOVE THEM, IT WOULD CAUSE MORE HARM THAN GOOD.

SO WE WERE COOPERATING WITH STATE WILDLIFE EXPERTS AND DID AS MUCH AS WE COULD.

COUNSELOR. DO Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MICHAEL? JUDITH, CAN YOU LET COUNCIL KNOW? CONTRACTUALLY, WHAT ARE WE OBLIGATED TO DO? I WOULD SAY THAT WE WOULD NEED TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.

OKAY. THAT'S MY ADVICE AND OUR AGENDA ALLOWS US TO DO THAT.

WE SPECIFICALLY WRITE THE AGENDA TO ALLOW US TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION FOR THE STATUTORY REASONS.

THIS WOULD FALL UNDER CONFERRING WITH YOUR ATTORNEY.

SO THAT'S WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST.

COUNCIL. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY OBJECTION TO GOING INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION? NO OBJECTION. NO OBJECTION.

ALL RIGHT THEN.

HEARING NONE.

DO WE NEED TO MAKE A MOTION TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO RETIRE TO EXECUTIVE SESSION TO DISCUSS THIS MATTER AND PROMPTLY RETURN.

SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM TOWNSEND.

SECOND, BY COUNCILMAN ROBERTS TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION ON THIS AGENDA ITEM.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. WE WILL GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION AT 640, AND WE WILL PROMPTLY RETURN.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK IN TO REGULAR SESSION AT 6:52 P.M..

COUNCIL, WE HAVE ITEM NUMBER TEN BEFORE US.

ANY ACTION COMING OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION?

[00:40:06]

THE SCREEN IS BLANK OR I WOULD MAKE THE MOTION FOR THE RESOLUTION.

I GOT A LOG IN.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CREATING THE RIVERWOOD BRANCH NORTH PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.

SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN ROBERTS.

SECOND BY COUNCILMAN BOOTH.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? I'LL JUST SAY, MR. FOLEY, WE WE UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

I WOULD ASK THAT, YOU KNOW, IN THE FUTURE, WE WE WORK A LITTLE BIT CLOSER AND NOT DO TWO DIFFERENT PIDS.

AND, I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT MORE THAT CAN COME IN THE FUTURE.

PIDS ARE NOT SOMETHING THAT THIS COUNCIL HAS AN APPETITE FOR AND NOTHING WE CAN DO GOING BACKWARDS TO TO 2020.

SO LEAVING IT THERE.

ANYBODY ELSE? ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? CALL FOR THE VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

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

MOVING TO REGULAR AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 11.

UPDATE DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE ANIMAL CONTROL FACILITY BY MACKLEMORE LUNG ARCHITECTS.

[11. Update, discussion and possible action on the Animal Control Facility by McClemore Luong Architects.]

GOOD EVENING. ARE WE GOING TO HAVE OUR PRESENTATION ON? THERE WE GO. DOES IT GET BIGGER OR IS THAT.

LET ME START OFF REAL QUICK.

SO WE HAD A PRESENTATION BEFORE.

WE HAD SOME DISCUSSIONS ABOUT OTHER OPTIONS.

SO WE WANTED TO CLOSE THAT LOOP WITH YOU BECAUSE AGAIN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BONDING FUTURE BONDING AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS.

SO HERE WE ARE.

AND WE LOOK FOR FORWARD TO FEEDBACK.

ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS ALEC YOUNG MANAGING PRINCIPAL OF MACKLEMORE LOAN ARCHITECTS.

SO WE'VE HAD THE GREAT PLEASURE OF WORKING WITH YOU ALL AND YOUR STAFF FOR ABOUT 12, 4 OR 5 MONTHS NOW, GOING THROUGH MEETING AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE FIX THIS PROBLEM. SO GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

SO PART OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TODAY IS JUST GIVE A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE TO DATE.

SOME OF THIS MIGHT BE REPETITIVE.

WE'VE TRIED TO SUMMARIZE JUST TO GIVE EVERYBODY THAT MIGHT BE HEARING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME, KIND OF WHERE WE STARTED, WHERE THE SHIP LANDED.

AND THEN IN THE BACK HALF, WE'LL TALK ABOUT KIND OF WHAT WHAT THE FINAL DELIVERABLES WERE AND WHAT WE CAN PROVIDE TO COUNCIL TO MAKE A DECISION.

NEXT SLIDE. UH, NOPE.

GO BACK ONE. IT'S FINICKY.

EXCELLENT. SO WE LOOKED AT YOUR EXISTING FACILITY, AND I THINK AT THIS POINT EVERYBODY ON COUNCIL HAS BEEN TO YOUR LOVELY ANIMAL SHELTER.

SO WE'VE BEEN OUT THERE.

WE'VE HAD A LOOK AT IT. IT'S EASY TO TO WALK BY THAT FACILITY AND JUST KIND OF GIVE IT A CURSORY OH IT'S IT'S TERRIBLE.

BUT I THINK PART OF OUR JOB IS TO REALLY DIG DEEP INTO JUST WHAT WHAT IS THE ISSUE.

WHAT CAN WE ACTUALLY GLEAN FROM THIS.

AND PROFESSIONALS? WHAT CAN WE INFORM.

IT'S IT'S IT'S AN OLDER BUILDING.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S THERE'S A LOT OF PROGRAM THAT WE'RE STUFFING INTO A VERY SMALL BUILDING FOR SURE.

AND THAT THAT BUILDING HAS DEFINITELY MET THE END OF ITS USEFUL LIFESPAN.

SO NEXT SLIDE. AND SO PART OF THIS IS THAT, YOU KNOW, YOUR STAFF IS DOING AN AMAZING JOB IN THE BUILDING THAT THEY HAVE.

THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT.

I HAVE DEFINITELY SEEN MORE POORLY RUN OPERATIONS IN BETTER BUILDINGS FOR SURE.

THAT'S A REAL TESTAMENT TO YOUR STAFF AND HOW THEY OPERATE, AND A WONDERFUL WORK THAT THEY DO IN THE CONDITIONS THAT THEY HAVE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

THE THE EXISTING FACILITY IS HIGHLY DETERIORATED.

AND OBVIOUSLY THAT'S THAT'S TRUE.

AND PART OF THE THING THAT WE TRY TO LOOK AT IS, OKAY, WELL CAN WE FIX THAT.

RIGHT. CAN WE, CAN WE GO IN THERE AND FIX WHAT'S THERE AS OPPOSED TO RATHER SELF-SERVING AND SAYING, HEY, LET'S JUST DEMOLISH IT AND MAKE A NEW ONE, RIGHT? AND PART OF THAT ANSWER IS REALLY NO.

THE WAY THE BUILDING IS BUILT AND AND WHERE THE DETERIORATION IS HAPPENING.

THE THE MEANS IN WHICH TO FIX IT PROBABLY EXCEED THE VALUE OF THE THING.

THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF THE BOTTOM LINE.

AND THAT THE, THE WAY THE BUILDING IS CURRENTLY BUILT AND THE WAY IT'S CURRENTLY BEING USED DOESN'T MEET THE MISSION OF ANIMAL CONTROL.

IT'S IT'S HAMSTRUNG.

YOU KNOW, IF ANY OF US HAD OPERATE A SCHOOL BUS SERVICE OUT OF A HONDA CIVIC, YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT THAT MEANS, RIGHT? THAT'S THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

NEXT SLIDE. AND SO, YOU KNOW, PART OF OUR JOB IS TO MAKE SURE THAT AS PROFESSIONALS, WE ARE DISTILLING THE INFORMATION FROM YOUR STAFF AND THIS WHOLE DISCUSSION ABOUT NEED VERSUS WANT, RIGHT.

[00:45:02]

EVERYBODY WANTS TO KNOW, WHAT DO YOU NEED? HOW DO WE SEPARATE THE CHIEF GOALS FROM WANTING A GOLD PLATED DESK, WHICH THAT DID NOT COME UP, BUT LET'S JUST SAY HE WANTED THEM.

OUR JOB IS TO SAY, YOU KNOW, THAT'S PROBABLY NOT THE BEST AND HIGHEST USE.

LET'S LET'S TAKE SOMETHING ELSE. SO, SO PART OF OUR PROGRAM VERIFICATION IS REALLY SITTING DOWN WITH STAFF UNDERSTANDING, YOU KNOW, HOW MANY ANIMALS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ANNUALLY, HOW MANY RESIDENTS ARE NON RESIDENTS ARE COMING TO THIS FACILITY.

HOW MANY VACCINATIONS ARE WE PROVIDING.

HOW MANY SURGERIES ARE WE DOING.

YOU KNOW WHAT IS THE NEED FOR THE WANT.

SO IT'S AN EXHAUSTIVE PROCESS THAT LOOKS AT EVERY SINGLE ROOM, EVERY SINGLE WALL OF THAT ROOM TO DETERMINE WHAT DO WE NEED TO FUNCTION BOTH TODAY AND INTO THE FUTURE, IF IT DOESN'T DO US ANY GOOD TO SAY, HERE'S THE BUILDING YOU NEED IN 2023, KNOWING THAT THERE'S 145 ROOFTOPS COMING.

THERE'S 2000 MORE ROOFTOPS COMING.

OUR JOB IS TO LOOK AT, OKAY, WHAT DO WE NEED IN 2030, 2040, 2050? WHAT IS THE CITY'S BUDGET SUPPORT? SO WE GO BACK AND LOOK AT YOUR CIP BUDGET.

WE LOOK AT YOUR STAFF PROJECTIONS.

YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T DO ME ANY GOOD TO GIVE YOU A FACILITY THAT NEEDS 50 PEOPLE.

WHEN WE KNOW THAT THE ANIMAL SHELTER STAFF WILL NEVER BE THAT BIG.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THAT GOES INTO TRYING TO MARRY UP.

WHAT HAS COUNCIL SAID IN THE PAST? WHAT HAVE THEY APPROVED NOW, AND HOW DO WE BRING ALL THAT TOGETHER INTO A PROGRAM THAT'S ACTUALLY ATTAINABLE? EXCELLENT. SO WE TAKE ALL OF THAT INFORMATION AND THEN WE GET TO GO PLAY GAMES.

SO WE TAKE ALL THESE LITTLE ROOMS AND WE CUT THEM UP INTO BOARDS.

RIGHT. AND PART OF THIS IS OUR ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT AS ARCHITECTS, YOU KNOW, I CAN DRAW A BUILDING.

THAT'S GREAT. DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT IT THAT'S HOW THIS CITY AND THIS CITY STAFF ACTUALLY FUNCTION.

SO WE GO THROUGH, WE CUT UP ALL THESE LITTLE BOARDS AND WE PLAY MONOPOLY WITH THEM.

AND WE START TO WORK IT OUT.

WE START TO LAY IT OUT. HEY, YOU KNOW, CHIEF DRAFTSMAN BRENDA, TAKE ME THROUGH YOUR INTAKE PROCESS.

WHERE DOES THAT ANIMAL GO? STEP TO STEP TO STEP TO STEP.

TAKE ME THROUGH THE ADOPTION PROCESS.

HOW ARE YOU GREETED? WHAT ROOM ARE YOU PUT IN? HOW DOES THE ANIMAL GET FROM, YOU KNOW, THE THE THEIR, THEIR CAGE BACK INTO THE ADOPTION AREA? WHERE DO YOU GO OUT TO PLAY? ALL OF THAT IS UNIQUE IN EVERY DIFFERENT CITY.

THERE ARE GENERAL THINGS THAT ALWAYS KIND OF HAPPEN, BUT HOW YOUR STAFF IS TRAINED AND WHAT THEY DO TODAY IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

AS WE GO THROUGH THIS VERY EXTENSIVE PROGRAM VERIFICATION PROCESS, WE SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, MAYBE WE DON'T NEED THIS ROOM.

MAYBE WE CAN COMBINE THESE TWO ROOMS TOGETHER.

MAYBE WE CAN SAVE A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY, SAVE SOME SPACE AND REALLY OPTIMIZE THAT.

SO WE WORK WITH STAFF TO FIGURE OUT, HEY, WHAT'S WHAT'S THE BASIC LAYOUT? WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO ACHIEVE? THANKS A LOT. SO WHAT ARE THE UNIQUE THINGS ABOUT CITY OF ANGLETON IS THAT YOU ALL HAVE OPTIONS, AND OPTIONS ARE A REALLY GREAT THING IN A LOT OF CASES WHERE WE WORK WITH CITIES THAT, YOU KNOW, HEY, I'VE GOT THIS ONE PIECE OF LAND AND THAT'S IT.

IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT TO TRY TO FIX THAT PROBLEM.

SO PART OF LOOKING AT THREE DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR REALLY WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE EXISTING SITE, WE WENT AND LOOKED AT WHERE IS THE CITY CENTER, WHERE ARE PEOPLE GOING TO WANT TO GO TO REALLY ADOPT THESE ANIMALS? WHERE WHERE IS WHERE IS THIS FACILITY GOING TO DO THE BEST AND HIGHEST USE? RIGHT. IF WE STICK THIS FACILITY OUT IN THE BACK 40, FAR AWAY FROM WHERE THE RESIDENTS ARE AND WHERE SERVICE CALLS CAN BE, WE'RE NOT DOING OUR JOB RIGHT.

AND SO WE LOOK TO WE LOOKED AT EACH DIFFERENT SITE.

YOU KNOW, THE NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

AND THEN ON EACH SITE WE TOOK THAT PROGRAM WHICH SAID, OKAY, WHAT WORKS, RIGHT? NOT NOT EVERY FOOTPRINT WORKS ON EVERY SITE.

AND ARE THESE COMPROMISES SOMETHING THAT IS ACHIEVABLE? DOES IT UNDERMINE THE THE MISSION OF ANIMAL CONTROL OR DOES IT ACTUALLY WORK? SO WE LOOKED AT THIS SITE ON SOUTH VELASCO.

WE GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

WE LOOKED AT. OKAY, CAN WE PUT IT ON TOP OF THE EXISTING FACILITY? THAT DIDN'T WORK. THE NEXT SLIDE.

WE LOOKED AT WHAT HAPPENS ON SOUTH ANDERSON.

CAN WE ACTUALLY MAKE THAT WORK JUST NORTH? I'M JUST GOING TO FLY UP BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THIS.

THE NEXT SLIDE. WHAT HAPPENS? WE DO A SPLIT OPERATION. RIGHT.

LET'S JUST ASK THE QUESTION. CAN WE STAY WHERE WE ARE AND BUILD SOMETHING JUST TO THE NORTH AND ACTUALLY MAKE THAT WORK? RIGHT. AND IN SOME CASES THAT'S A VIABLE SOLUTION.

AND THIS ALSO WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS EXPLORED.

AND ULTIMATELY IT WAS DECIDED THAT, LOOK, YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T WORK FOR THIS COMMUNITY.

IT DOESN'T WORK HOW THE FLOWS WORK.

IT DOESN'T WORK. GIVEN THE EXISTING CONDITIONS OF THE BUILDING.

IT DOESN'T WORK WHERE YOU HAVE TO MOVE ANIMAL SHELTER SOMEWHERE ELSE BECAUSE IT'S NOT GOING IN GULFSTREAM'S GARAGE.

IT HAS TO BE IN A PLACE THAT IS USABLE.

KNOW DURING THE INTERIM OF CONSTRUCTION.

RIGHT. SO THIS THIS WHOLE QUESTION ABOUT WHAT DO WE DO IF WE WERE TO DEMOLISH THE EXISTING FACILITY AND PUT IT BACK, IT JUST IT DOESN'T WORK.

SO THE NEXT SLIDE.

SO TO ALL OF THIS HAPPENED ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO.

SO WE FINISHED THIS STUDY.

WE SAID, HEY, HERE'S YOUR OPTIONS, HERE'S WHERE WE ARE.

AND THEN COUNCIL CAME BACK AND SAID, HEY, YOU KNOW, THIS IS ALL FINE AND WELL, HELP ME DOWN, DOWN ONE SIDE AND ONE BUILDING AND TELL ME WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE AND TELL ME WHAT IT WILL COST. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT.

SO WHAT WE ULTIMATELY ENDED UP WITH IS LOCATING THE NEW FACILITY ON THE PARCEL JUST NORTH OF THE EXISTING FACILITY.

[00:50:08]

AND PART OF THE REAL BENEFIT TO THIS SITE IS THAT IT HAS LOTS OF LAND.

THERE'S A LOT OF SPACE WHERE WE CAN ACTUALLY MAKE IT WORK.

WE'RE NOT TRYING TO JIMMY IN THIS ANIMAL SHELTER IN BETWEEN.

YOU KNOW, I'VE DONE ONE CHURCH AND A SCHOOL AND THAT REALLY DIDN'T WORK OUT SO WELL.

BUT THAT WAS THE ONLY PLAN THEY HAD, AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAD TO DO.

SO PART OF WHAT WAS REALLY GREAT ABOUT THIS SITE AND HOW WE CAME UP WITH THIS SITE FOOTPRINT, IS WE'RE ABLE TO TAKE THE BUILDING AND ACTUALLY PUSH IT BACK FROM THE STREET.

AND SO PART OF THE CHALLENGE OF A WELL RUN ANIMAL SHELTER IS THAT IT'S NOT JUST THE PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING THERE TO DROP OFF OR PICK UP PETS, RIGHT? YOU ALL BENEFIT FROM HAVING A WONDERFUL STAFF THAT DOES A LOT OF EVENTS THAT KEEPS THE PUBLIC ENGAGED WITH THE ANIMAL SHELTER, DOES THAT, DOES VACCINATIONS, DOES YOU KNOW, THINGS THAT GET PEOPLE EXCITED TO COME AND TAKE AN ANIMAL WITH THEM? WHERE DO YOU DO THAT? RIGHT. THAT DOESN'T REALLY WANT TO HAPPEN IN A PARKING LOT.

IT DOESN'T REALLY WANT TO HAPPEN NEXT DOOR.

SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE WERE ABLE TO DO IS SLIDE THE WHOLE BUILDING BACK ABOUT 62FT, AND WE CREATE THIS LITTLE AND THIS IS REALLY SMALL AND I'M FAR SIGHTED, THIS LITTLE GRASSY AREA IN FRONT, THAT'S OUR OVERFLOW PARKING AND OUR SPECIAL EVENTS.

AND SO I THINK THERE WAS ONE INSTANCE WHERE THERE WAS A VACCINATION DRIVE.

YOU YOU'RE TELLING US THAT CARS WERE LINED UP ALL THE WAY UP ANDERSON STREET AND ALL THE WAY BACK AGAIN, AND.

LOOK AT THAT. TIME TO GET SOMEBODY IN THE EYE.

IT'S DANGEROUS TO JUST WALK OVER THERE.

IS THAT. IS THAT. WELL.

THE MIKE. YES.

DANGEROUS. SO HERE WE GO.

RIGHT THERE. HERE WE GO. SO OVERFLOW PARKING HAPPENS HERE.

SO ON, ON YOUR STANDARD TUESDAY AFTERNOON, WE HAVE ENOUGH PARKING THAT MEETS.

HERE'S WHAT WE NEED. WE WANT TO GO PAY FOR EVERYTHING.

AND THAT COSTS MONEY THAT HAS THE TENSION AND FLOODING ISSUES.

BUT IF WE CREATE THIS GRASSY AREA IN FRONT WE HAVE A GREAT OVERFLOW SPACE.

WE HAVE A GREAT SPACE WHERE FOR VERY LITTLE MONEY, BECAUSE THE LAND IS ALREADY THERE, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO HOST EVENTS, HOST OVERFLOW PARKING AND REALLY FOCUS ON THE MISSION OF ANIMAL CONTROL TO GET OUT OF THE ENGAGEMENT, GET OUT OF THE COMMUNITY.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO WHAT IS THAT BUILDING ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE ON THE INSIDE? SO PART OF THE CHALLENGE HERE IS WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A FACILITY THAT CAN GROW OVER TIME.

WE DON'T NEED EVERYTHING ON DAY ONE.

RIGHT. BUT EXPANSION KNOW MONEY TOMORROW IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN MONEY TODAY WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THE RIGHT STUFF IN THERE, AND WE REALLY DO A LOT OF THOUGHTFUL PLANNING SO THAT AS WE'RE EXPANDING, WE'RE NOT TRIPPING OVER OURSELVES AND HAVING TO MOVE THIS OR MOVE THAT.

SO PART OF THE BEAUTY OF THE BUILDING IS THAT IN PHASE ONE, WHICH IS NOT INDICATED HERE, BUT PHASE ONE IS THE ENTIRE FRONT HALF OF THE FACILITY, WHICH IS YOUR INTAKE.

IT'S YOUR WAITING AREA, YOUR TRAINING AREA, YOUR STAFF AREAS, ALL THE THINGS YOU NEED TO MAKE THE THING RUN, ALL THAT GETS BUILT IN.

PHASE ONE, WE BUILD PART OF THE SALLY PORT, THE SECURE AREAS.

WE BRING ANIMALS IN.

WE'RE NOT MOVING THEM IN AN OPEN PARKING LOT.

YOU KNOW, FOR AS MUCH AS WE TRY TO GET ANIMALS, YOU KNOW, HOOKED AND INTO THE FACILITY SAFELY, THINGS ARE WRONG.

THEY JUMP FENCES, THEY DO ALL KINDS OF STUFF.

AND WE HAVE THE SURGICAL COMPONENT WHICH IS HERE.

RIGHT. SO OUR SPAY AND NEUTER.

AND THEN WE HAVE OUR CAGED AREAS ON THE SOUTH SIDE HERE.

SO WE CAN NOW MAKE THE BUILDING GROW BACKWARDS INTO THE SITE OVER TIME.

SO WHETHER THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED ON DAY TWO, ON DAY 900, ON DAY 9000, WE CAN ACCOMMODATE IT BY THOUGHTFULLY PUTTING ALL THIS STUFF IN A RECTANGLE, JUST GROWING IT BACKWARDS.

RIGHT. NEXT PAGE PLEASE.

SO WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? IT'S AN ANIMAL SHELTER.

IT'S NOT A CHURCH. IT'S NOT GOD'S GIFT ARCHITECTURE.

IT'S NOT CITY HALL.

IT'S NO SHELTER. ITS PRIMARY FUNCTION IS TO DO ITS JOB RIGHT.

AND SO IT'S PRE-ENGINEERED METAL BUILDING IT REAL SIMPLE.

IT'S A PRE-ENGINEERED METAL. BUT WE CAN DO THINGS THAT MAKE IT NOT LOOK LIKE A GOLF COURSE MAINTENANCE FACILITY.

RIGHT. SO WE'VE WE'VE KIND OF USED A LITTLE BIT OF BREAK HERE AT THE BOTTOM, WHICH IS JUST IT'S GOOD MAINTENANCE.

WE SEE IN THE BOTTOM A METAL BUILDING.

IT GETS TORE UP. WE WHACK ALONG GOOD STUFF.

PUT A LITTLE BIT OF MASONRY DOWN THERE.

IT'LL LAST FOREVER.

YOU KNOW YOU GUYS LOVE YOUR PURPLE I SEE IT IN YOUR SHIRT.

I SEE IT IN THIS GENTLEMAN'S COMMENTS BEHIND ME.

I LOVE IT. IT'S FANTASTIC.

I NEVER GET TO PLAY WITH THE COLOR PURPLE.

I PUT IT ON THE BUILDING SO YOU KNOW IT'S A TRIM COLOR.

WE DO WHAT WE CAN DO. AND I REMEMBER AT ONE OF OUR VERY FIRST MEETINGS HERE, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE MURALS AND THE COMMISSIONING OF ARTISTS.

RIGHT. THIS IS A GREAT CAMPUS.

WE CAN DO ALL KINDS OF STUFF WITH A METAL BUILDING THAT REALLY TAKE THAT SENSE OF ART AND ARTISTRY THAT IS IN ANGLETON.

WE CAN APPLY IT WHEREVER WE WANT.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO WE KIND OF JUST STARTED, YOU KNOW, HEY PEOPLE KIND OF PLAYFUL TO HAVE AN ARTIST MURAL ON THE SIDE.

WE CAN FIGURE THAT OUT LATER.

[00:55:02]

BUT PART OF THE THE KIND OF ESTHETIC HERE IS THAT IT'S SIMPLE.

WE HAVE AN AWNING WHERE IT ENTERS, WE HAVE THE DOG PLAY AREA AT THE FRONT, RIGHT.

SO WHEN YOU PULL UP AND YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT ADOPTING AN ANIMAL, YOU SEE, HERE'S THE PLAY AREA WHERE YOU COULD PLAY.

YOU SEE SOMEBODY ELSE TAKING AN ANIMAL WITH THEM.

IT'S GREAT DURING THE NEXT SLIDE.

AND THEN HERE'S WHAT WE THINK WE COULD DO WITH THAT AREA IN FRONT.

RIGHT. SO WE'RE HAVING AN ADOPTION EVENT.

WE'RE HAVING A VACCINATION EVENT.

WE HAVE THIS LONG THIS GREAT YARD AREA.

WE CAN PUT TENTS, WE CAN PUT FOOD TRUCKS, WE CAN PUT DIFFERENT BOOTHS.

WE CAN HAVE, YOU KNOW, GET YOUR NAME TAG DAY, GET YOUR GET YOUR VACCINATION DAY, GET YOUR REGISTRATION DATE.

THERE'S ALL KINDS OF THINGS YOU CAN DO BY JUST HAVING A 62 BY 240 FOOT CHUNK OF GRASS.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO WHAT DOES IT COST.

SO PART OF OUR OUR COMMISSION HERE I CAN SIT HERE AND TELL YOU THUMB IN THE WIND.

HEY YOU KNOW IT'S $8,000 A SQUARE FOOT.

THAT'S NOT REALLY HELPFUL. SO PART OF WHAT WE DID WAS ENGAGE SPECIFIC ENGINEERS FOR PARTS OF THE SCOPE THAT TEND TO CARRY THE BUDGET.

SO IN THIS CASE IT'S THE MEP SYSTEMS AND THE CIVIL ENGINEERING.

THOSE ARE THE TWO THINGS THAT TYPICALLY DRIVE THE BUS IN THESE FACILITIES.

THE STRUCTURE IS VERY SIMPLE.

IT'S A METAL BUILDING WITH A SLAB.

EVERYBODY KIND OF KNOWS THAT THAT COST IN GENERAL.

SO ATICO ENGINEERS, WE ENGAGE THEM TO LOOK AT DETENTION, TO LOOK AT THE CONCRETE, TO LOOK AT THE SITE CONSTRAINTS, THE UTILITY DEMAND.

THEY PUT TOGETHER A TWO PAGE REPORT FOR US THAT WAS THEN TURNED OVER TO HKM TO DO COST ESTIMATION.

THE NEXT SLIDE AND WE INCLUDED JOHNSON DESIGN.

SO THE MEP SYSTEMS IN AN ANIMAL SHELTER ARE HIGHLY SPECIALIZED.

THEY'RE SPECIALIZED FOR CODE REASONS.

GIVEN THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH ANIMALS, WE'RE DEALING WITH UNCONDITIONED AIR.

IN A LOT OF CASES, WE HAVE CERTAIN COMPONENTS THAT ARE PROVIDING SURGICAL SERVICES FOR SPAY AND NEUTERING.

YOU'RE ASKING TO DO A LOT IN THAT BUILDING, AND WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE CLEAN AIR, CLEAN SYSTEMS THAT WORK.

SO JOHNSON, ENGINEER, WENT THROUGH, DID A FULL MEP ANALYSIS ON THE BUILDING, BROKE IT UP INTO PHASES, AS DID CIVIL.

LOOKING AT THOSE SPECIALTY SYSTEMS AND GIVING A NARRATIVE OF WHAT THOSE SYSTEMS SHOULD BE WITHOUT DOING A FULL DESIGN.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND SO WE GAVE THAT OVER TO HCM.

AGM IS A COST ESTIMATING AND PROGRAMING COMPANY THAT WE WORK WITH.

THEY'RE FANTASTIC.

THEY'VE BEEN ENGAGED IN A LOT OF THINGS IN MISSOURI COUNTY INCLUDING THE COURTHOUSE OF THE LAWYER.

SO WE TRUST A LOT WHAT THEY TELL US THEY GET INTO AND GAVE US PROBABLY AN EIGHT PAGE REPORT ON THE COST BY EVERY SYSTEM, EVERY SUBSYSTEM IN THE BUILDING IN TWO PHASES.

SO HIGH LEVEL.

AND I'M REALLY GLAD THIS IS A TINY NUMBER BECAUSE AT LEAST IT'S SMALL OVER THERE.

PHASE ONE.

IF YOU BUILT THE BUILDING TO DAY RIGHT NOW 6.126 MILLION, GIVE OR TAKE.

AND WE ALWAYS ESCALATE COSTS, RIGHT? BECAUSE TIME IS MONEY.

AND IT WOULD BE DISHONEST FOR ME TO TELL YOU THAT'S ALL IT IS.

SO IF WE GO THROUGH A BOND PROCESS, TAKE TIME, THINGS FALL OUT.

THERE'S A ESCALATION COST IN THERE THAT TAKES IT TO ABOUT 7.2 MILLION.

UM, PHASE TWO, THE ADD ON KIND OF SAME BASIC ASSUMPTIONS.

IF YOU BUILT THE WHOLE THING TODAY 2.6 AND PHASE THREE.

SO THE PUNCH LINE IS THAT, YOU KNOW, ABOUT $10.4 MILLION.

NOW IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, WE'LL GIVE A LITTLE CONTEXT.

THAT 10.4 MILLION CARRIES A MASSIVE CONTINGENCY.

AND FOR AS MUCH AS WE WANT TO GET FIRM FIXED HARD NUMBERS, ACM INCLUDES.

I BELIEVE IT'S ABOUT 20% CONTINGENCY IN THESE NUMBERS AND I'M STRUGGLING TO FIND.

BUT IT'S FINE. 25.

YEAH. LINE FIVE. THERE'S.

IT'S AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT.

HEY, WE'RE WE'RE LOOKING AT A PLAN, A RENDERING, AND THAT'S IT.

RIGHT? AND SO ALL OF THAT IS INCLUDED IN THERE TO TRY TO GIVE CONTEXT TO THAT NUMBER.

OVER THE COURSE OF DESIGN, THINGS GET SMALLER, THINGS GET BIGGER.

WE TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GIVE A WELL ROUNDED NUMBER INSTEAD OF THE EIGHME LOW.

BOND IS APPROVED LOW.

THEN EVERYBODY GETS REALLY UPSET WHEN CHANGE ORDERS COME IN BECAUSE IT JUST IT'S ALWAYS KIND OF HOW IT WORKS OUT.

SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GIVE ENOUGH OF A WELL ROUNDED NUMBER THAT THERE'S AT LEAST SOME DECISION MAKING PROCESS IN THERE.

IF YOU GO TO SLIDE TWO IN THE NEXT SLIDE, IT'S THE SAME BASIC BREAKDOWN FOR PHASE TWO, THE SAME AMOUNT OF INFORMATION.

WE CAN PROVIDE THE FULL PACKET TO THE CITY, BUT IT'S ALL IN.

SO WE TRY TO MAKE SURE WE CAPTURE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE ALL THE VARIOUS THINGS THAT GO INTO THIS PROCESS.

SO I THINK THAT'S THE LAST THING ON THE NEXT SLIDE.

YEP. THAT'S IT. SO I KNOW THAT'S A SPEED ROUND THE BACK 40 OF THE PRESENTATION.

[01:00:04]

AS DRINK WATER AND TAKE QUESTIONS.

HOW DO YOU FIRM UP THE NUMBERS? WHAT WOULD BE THE NEXT STEP THAT WOULD GET US THERE? YOU NEED INFORMATION.

ANYTHING THAT FIRMS UP THE NUMBERS WITHOUT ADVANCING DESIGN IS A GUESS.

THAT'S THAT'S AN HONEST ASSESSMENT.

WE WHAT AGENCY DOES AND HOW WE WORK BACK AND FORTH IS THEY TAKE OTHER ANIMAL SHELTERS, ESCALATE THEIR COSTS ON A PER SQUARE FOOT BASIS.

AS THE HIGH LEVEL KNOW, HERE'S 8000FT² AT $600 A SQUARE FOOT.

HERE'S THE NUMBER. THEN THEY TAKE THIS SPECIFIC SYSTEM INFORMATION FROM A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER PROJECTS.

RIGHT. SO LIKE ELECTRICAL PANELING, ELECTRICAL PANELING, WHETHER IT'S AT AN ANIMAL SHELTER OR A HOME OR BUSINESS WHATEVER.

RIGHT. SO THEY DO THE ESTIMATE FROM THE TOP DOWN ON THE GROUND UP, AND THEN THEY MERGE THE TWO TOGETHER TO KIND OF GET TO A NUMBER THAT REASONABLY MAKES SENSE WITH THE INFORMATION WE'VE PROVIDED THEM.

THAT'S ABOUT AS BIG OF A RANGE AS WE CAN GET.

WITHOUT MORE DESIGN INFORMATION, THERE'S NOTHING FOR THEM TO THEN REFINE OFF OF.

THAT'S THE HONEST TRUTH. IF IF YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY, HEY, WE NEED TO GO ASK THE TAXPAYERS FOR THIS MUCH MONEY.

IT'S IT'S A POLITICAL QUESTION.

WHAT WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WANT TO SPEND? AND IF THAT NUMBER IS A, B, C, D, WHATEVER IT IS, THAT BECOMES THE BUDGET.

OKAY. GO DO IT FOR THIS IS WHAT YOU CAN GET.

SO PART OF THE PHASE ONE.

PHASE TWO IS WE KNOW IF PHASE ONE IS THIS MUCH AND THAT WE THINK IS GOOD FOR THE NEXT 4 OR 5, SIX, SEVEN YEARS, THEN THAT'S WHAT WE COULD DO TODAY. HOW DO YOU HAVE PHASE ONE? HOW DO YOU HAVE PHASE ONE LEVEL OF SERVICE? AGAIN, IT'S A POLITICAL QUESTION.

I, I GUESS I'D HAVE TO LOOK OVER BRENDA OR CHIEF ASSISTANT CHIEF AND FIND OUT.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? TALK ME THROUGH THIS.

AND. GOING BACK EVEN TO THE EARLIER DISCUSSION THAT WE HAD.

AND I KNOW ME AND YOU WERE ON THE SAME PAGE, AND I THINK THE REST OF THE COUNCIL WAS TOO.

IF WE WERE GOING TO DO IT IN PHASES, WHATEVER PHASE IS DONE IN PHASE ONE, WHATEVER THAT AREA WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED FOR, THAT'S WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO JUST TRANSFORM IT AND MAKE DIFFERENT STUFF.

WE ALSO THOUGHT ABOUT, WELL, NUMBER ONE, WE ALSO WANT TO DO THE WHOLE BUILDING AT ONE TIME, BUT THAT DIDN'T MEAN WE HAD TO POUR ALL THE CONCRETE IN THAT.

THAT'S GOING TO BE THE FOOTPRINT OF PHASE TWO.

AND IT WILL BE KIND OF SEALED OFF.

STILL CLOSED IN.

KIND OF A DIRT STORAGE, WOULD YOU SAY, UNTIL WE GOT READY FOR THAT PHASE TWO? YOU HAVE TO IN PHASE ONE.

IT'S ALL OF YOUR CRITICAL FUNCTIONS.

SO PHASE ONE DICTATES THE VOLUME OF ANIMALS YOU CAN PROCESS.

THAT'S WHAT IT BOILS DOWN TO, RIGHT? IF I ONLY HAVE ONE SOURCE OF A ROOM, ONE WAITING ROOM AND ONE ADOPTION AREA, I'M NOT DOING 500 ADOPTIONS A YEAR.

YOU JUST CAN'T DO IT. RIGHT.

SO PART OF PART OF HOW DO YOU MAKE THAT NUMBER EVEN SMALLER IS YOU HAVE TO START TALKING ABOUT WHAT IS THE LEVEL OF SERVICE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO PROVIDE.

HOW MANY ANIMALS ARE WE TRYING TO DEAL WITH.

RIGHT. AND IF THAT NUMBER CAN GET SMALLER, GREAT.

SO WHETHER THAT MEANS SOMEBODY ELSE, YOU KNOW, TAKES IN CONTROL OR ANIMALS ARE SENT SOMEWHERE ELSE OR WE JUST DON'T TAKE ANY MORE IN.

THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF THE FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION OF WHAT'S THE BARE SERVICE.

WHAT WE TRIED TO DO WAS LOOK AT WHAT IS THE VOLUME YOU'RE DOING TODAY, RIGHT.

AND IT'S I SAY THIS NOT FACETIOUSLY AT ALL.

THE VOLUME YOU HEAR TODAY IS AMAZING.

THE FACILITY ROOM 100% HANDS DOWN.

SO WE TRY TO DO IS SAY, HEY, WHAT'S THAT VOLUME BASED ON THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ROOFTOPS.

RIGHT. BECAUSE YOU'RE TRYING TO SCALE A PROPORTION OF THE POPULATION.

YOU SAY, HEY, WE THINK YOU'RE GOING TO GROW THIS MUCH.

SO WE THINK THAT SERVICES LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE IS GOING TO GROW AT SOME RATE AS WELL.

RIGHT. WE TRY TO MERGE THIS WITH THIS.

WE TRY TO THINK THROUGH WHAT DO YOU NEED TODAY.

WHAT DO YOU REASONABLY NEED IN THE FUTURE.

AND THEN LET'S STOP RIGHT THERE.

IF ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN YOU DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF ANIMALS, THAT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT DISCUSSION.

BUT THAT'S TYPICALLY NOT HOW ANIMAL SERVICES GROWS.

IT'S NOT A 1 TO 1 PROPORTIONAL GAIN IN ALL THE CASES.

SO SO THERE IS SOME THOUGHT AND MATH THAT GOES INTO, HEY, WHAT DO WE THINK YOUR SMALLEST FOOTPRINT IS FOR THOSE CRITICAL SERVICES TODAY IF THAT FOLLOWS. SO I THINK YOU BUILD A BUILDING WITHOUT BUILDING IT OUT AND YOU BUILD THE CAGES FIRST BECAUSE THAT'S THE CRITICAL THAT'S THE CRITICAL PATH.

[01:05:09]

WE ALREADY HAVE OFFICE SPACE.

WE ALREADY HAVE OPERATING ROOM OR EMERGENCY ROOM SPACE.

WE ALREADY HAVE A LOT OF THOSE THINGS.

I THINK YOU BUILD THE SHELL OF THE BUILDING.

SO YOU'VE GOT THE CONCRETE AND THEN YOU BUILD, LIKE YOU SAID, THE NUMBER OF PADS YOU NEED FOR NOW.

AND AS THAT REQUIREMENT GROWS, IF WE PICK UP A REGIONAL RESPONSE WHERE WE'RE GETTING AUGMENTED, THEN THAT MONEY PAYS FOR THOSE ADDITIONAL KENNELS OR ROOMS OR WHATEVER IT IS.

YEAH, BECAUSE THE OLD BUILDING IS STILL THERE.

RIGHT? SO YOU CAN STILL OPERATE OUT OF THAT WHILE WE'RE BUILDING THIS THING.

THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING, HOW DO YOU MAKE PHASE ONE HALF OF THAT AND UTILIZE THE EXISTING BUILDING AND START SLOWLY MIGRATING OVER? BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO TAKE SOME BUDGET CYCLES.

THIS ISN'T SOMETHING WE CAN JUST TAKE IN ONE FELL SWOOP.

BUT I THINK THE BIG COST IS THE ANIMAL PIECE WITH THE DRAINAGE AND THE CAGES AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

THE REST IS SIMPLY JUST OFFICE.

AND AGAIN, I THINK YOU JUST DON'T BUILD THAT OUT UNTIL UNTIL YOU GET THE FUNDS.

AND LIKE YOU SAID, ONCE YOU HAVE A PLAN, THEN THEN YOU CAN HIRE HIRE SOMEONE TO BUILD OUT WHATEVER THE REQUIREMENT IS.

IF YOU WANTED TO MOVE THE OFFICE OVER.

FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN, THE ANIMAL PART IN THE EXISTING FACILITY IS THE WORST PART OF THE WHOLE SHELTER, RIGHT? IF YOU BUILD THE KENNELS, THAT'S THE PART THAT HAS THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

YOU BUILD THE COUNSELORS.

IT'S BASICALLY A BIG METAL BUILDING WITH KENNELS ON DAY ONE AND AS YOU VACATE KENNELS IN THE OLD BUILDING, NOT BE PUT OFF BECAUSE IT'S A LITTLE IT'S A LITTLE ROUGH.

BUT IF YOU BUILD THE ADOPTION PORTION, YOU KNOW THE ROOM, THE PLAYER AND THE KENNELS, IT AT LEAST GIVES YOU ONE COMPLETE SERVICE ON ONE SIDE, RIGHT? YOU'RE COMING WITH WHATEVER YOU'RE NOT DOING IN THE OLD BUILDING.

YOU'RE GOING TO A NEW BUILDING.

GET THE ANIMAL AND TAKE IT OUT.

YOU'VE ACCOMPLISHED ONE CORE COMPONENT, YOU KNOW, LEAVE SURGERY OVER THERE, LEAVE INTAKE OVER THERE JUST TO OUTTAKE ON THE NEW SIDE.

YOU COULD DO THAT. OKAY.

SO IF WE WERE TO DO IT THAT WAY, WHAT'S THE PHASE ONE TOTAL THEN? SHOULD WE GO BACK? UH, YEAH.

RIGHT THERE. SO I'M GOING TO FREESTYLE HERE FOR A HOT SECOND.

NO, I UNDERSTAND I'M NOT.

LET'S SEE. THAT'S 7.2.

GETS CLOSER TO FOUR AND ONE HALF FIVE.

AND IT'S NOT CUTTING IT IN HALF BECAUSE YOU'RE STILL BUILDING THE BUILDING.

YOU'RE STILL PUTTING IN THE FOUNDATION.

YOU MIGHT HAVE PUT IT IN THE CONCRETE.

YOU'RE STILL PUTTING IN ALL THE OVERSIZE ELECTRICAL, BECAUSE YOU DON'T EVER WANT TO GO BACK AND DO THAT.

PUTTING IN ALL THE OVERSIZE WATER SEWER.

YOU'RE PUTTING IN A LOT OF STUFF ON DAY ONE YOU MIGHT NOT USE FOR FIVE, TEN YEARS, BUT IT HAS TO BE THERE.

SO FOR I JUST WANT, I WANT TO I'M THINKING LIKE THROUGH THIS.

SO WE WANT TO TAKE TO THE PUBLIC THAT WE'RE GOING TO SPEND ROUGHLY FOUR AND ONE HALF MILLION FOR A GIANT SHELL AND SOME KENNELS, OVERSIZE ELECTRIC, PERHAPS A PLAY AREA.

AND MAYBE SOME PARKING.

WHAT DO WE KNOW? PARKING OUT FRONT? WOULD YOU DO THAT AT THE BEGINNING? I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT ELSE AS WE GET.

SO IT'S FIRE ACCESS, RIGHT? BECAUSE IT STILL HAS TO BE BUILT. BUILDING CODE.

RIGHT? SO IT HAS TO. YOU WOULD STILL HAVE TO PUT THE FIRE ACCESS IN.

THESE ARE SPRINKLER BUILDINGS.

SPRINKLER SYSTEM. AND. YOU COULD PROBABLY CUT THE BUILDING DOWN.

I MEAN, IT'S PRE-ENGINEERED METAL BUILDING, OR YOU COULD ADD BAYS TO IT.

BUT WHAT I WAS WONDERING WHEN MY THOUGHT WAS, IT'S NOT.

THAT'S A BAD WAY TO GO.

AND I'M TRYING TO WORK WITH YOU.

I'M NOT TRYING TO WORK AGAINST YOU.

IS THERE ANY WAY POSSIBLE ALSO CONFIGURING PHASE TWO TO TAKE ON A LITTLE BIGGER SHELL AS PHASE ONE BE A LITTLE SMALLER, AND IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S TWO PHASES. SEPARATE BUILDINGS THAT MAYBE COULD MAYBE EQUAL SIZE THE TWO BUILDINGS OR YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE PHASE ONE BUILDING SEEMS TO BE A BIGGER SHELL, AS IF YOU'RE GOING BACK TO THE PLAN.

RIGHT. SO WHAT WHAT MAKES THIS STARK IS WE'RE KENNEL NUMBER ONE IS KENNEL NUMBER ONE KIND OF STARTS AT THE COLUMN GRID FOR THE FIRST DAY IS BECAUSE WE'RE RESERVING THE FRONT HALF FOR OFFICES IN THE FUTURE.

SO THE QUESTION WOULD BE, HEY, HOW MANY KENNELS DO YOU WANT TO BUILD ALONG THIS SIDE? BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE YOU WOULD SHELL THE REST OF IT OUT.

NOW, THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE WAY THE BUILDING WORKS IS A LONG, THIN BUILDING.

IT'S NOT AN L-SHAPED BUILDING ON THE SIDE.

SO THE THE LARGE PORTION OF THE PREMIUM STRUCTURE IS A GIANT BARN THAT'S LEFT OVER

[01:10:01]

JUST BECAUSE OF THE GENERAL LAYOUT OF IT.

NOW YOU CAN PUT TEMPORARY KENNELS IN.

ON THE FLIP SIDE, IT'S DOABLE.

IT'S A SIDEWALK FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES, SO THERE ARE WAYS THAT THAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED.

IT DOES MEAN YOU GOT TO TEAR THEM OUT LATER.

PUT SOMETHING ELSE IN. SO SO GIVING THE GIVEN THE CURRENT KENNEL SIZE PLUS THE BUILDING, THAT'S THE COST.

I THINK THAT YOU ALL ARE KIND OF LOOKING FOR IS A BETTER NUMBER.

YEAH. SHARPENED PENCILS.

YEAH. WE CAN GO BACK AND ASK.

THAT'S THAT'S THE NUMBER WE WANT.

COUNCIL. ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE THEY WANT TO ASK? OKAY. YEAH, I WOULD, I WOULD LOVE FOR US TO GET INTO.

I LOVE THE CONCEPT, THE IDEA OF BUILD FOR TODAY, HAVE A PLAN FOR TOMORROW AND EVEN TODAY CAN ACTUALLY BE IN PHASES ALMOST TODAY.

CAN WE GET THIS? NEW FACILITY AND THEN FITTING IT OUT.

PROBABLY FOR THE NEXT HOWEVER MANY YEARS TO 15 YEARS, AND THEN START LOOKING AT PHASE TWO.

AND OF COURSE, THAT'S ALL DEPEND ON GROWTH.

AND I KNOW THERE'S SO MANY VARIABLES OR FACTORS THAT WE CAN'T PREDICT.

WELL, THAT GIVES US THE ABILITY TO WORK A REGIONAL CONTRACT IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.

SO WE'RE GETTING THEN WE'RE GETTING DOLLARS THAT WE CAN PLANT FOR FOR FORWARD FUNDING OF MORE PARTS OF IT.

YEAH. ALL RIGHT.

YOU DON'T NEED ANY ACTION FROM ME, RIGHT? THANK YOU. COME BACK TO US WITH THE NUMBER.

THANK YOU. OKAY. SURE.

YEAH. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

I'VE. NUMBER 12 UPDATE DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE MARSHALL SCHOOL PROJECT AND PARRISH STREET ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.

[12. Update, discussion and possible action on the Marshall School Project and Parrish Street, Road Improvement Project.]

GLAD TO SEE OUR SUPERINTENDENT IN ATTENDANCE TONIGHT.

THOMAS. GOOD TO SEE YOU, SIR.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR.

I THINK YOU RECOGNIZE THE SUPERINTENDENT JUST THEN.

I'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE MY PASTOR HERE ON THE FRONT ROW.

AND I'VE GOT A NUMBER OF FRIENDS AND, YOU KNOW, COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND MARSHALL ALUMNI WITH US.

SIX MONTHS AGO, MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER, THE MAYOR AND I STRUCK UP A CONVERSATION.

AND THAT CONVERSATION WAS ABOUT THE REBUILDING OF PARRISH STREET.

I'VE SEEN THE MAYOR A COUPLE OF TIMES SINCE THEN, AND HE'S.

INFORM ME THAT THE PARRISH STREET PROJECT WAS ALIVE AND WELL IN THE CITY COUNCIL, AND SO I ASKED HIM TO ALLOW US TO COME, AND US WOULD BE ISED AND THE ALUMNI TO INFORM ALL OF THE MEMBERS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MARSHALL, THE PARRISH STREET PROJECT TO THE MARSHALL RENOVATION.

SO WE, THE MARSHALL ALUMNI AND THE COMMUNITY APPROACHED THE SCHOOL DISTRICT A YEAR OR SO AGO, MAYBE TWO. TIME IS FLYING AND OUR CONCERN WAS, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH THE THE ABANDONED TRANSPORTATION CENTER THAT WAS ON THE MARSHALL CAMPUS? AND THE COMMUNITY CONCERN WAS THAT WE DID NOT WANT TO SEE THAT TO BE AN ABANDONED, DILAPIDATED STRUCTURE.

AND MANY OF US GOT A LOT OF FOND MEMORIES OF MARSHALL, AND WE WANTED TO TRY TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT IN OUR HEARTS ABOUT MARSHALL.

SO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HEARD OUR CONCERNS.

THE SCHOOL DISTRICT PUT A PLAN OF ACTION IN MOTION THAT RESULTED IN $3 MILLION WORTH OF FUNDING.

THAT FUNDING EMPOWERED THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE MARSHALL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION TO COME TOGETHER AND DO SOME RENDERINGS OF WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE AT THE MARSHALL SITE.

NOW WE'VE GOT $3 MILLION, BUT WE'VE GOT $30 MILLION OF CONCEPTS.

SO AS YOU JUST WENT THROUGH SOMETIME, ALL THESE THINGS CAN'T WORK, BUT YOU CAN APPROACH THESE THINGS, YOU KNOW, AS THE FUNDING BECOMES AVAILABLE.

AND WITH THE $3 MILLION THAT'S CURRENTLY ALLOCATED, WE FEEL STRONGLY THAT WE CAN CONVERT THAT SLAB OF CONCRETE INTO A PARK AREA.

AND SO SO WE WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY FATHERS THE POWERS TO BE

[01:15:09]

IN THE CITY TO COORDINATE THE RENOVATION OF PARIS STREET, WHICH IS THE THE WEST BOUNDARY OF THE MARSHALL CAMPUS WITH THE RENOVATION OF THE MARSHALL CAMPUS.

I THINK THERE'S SOME SYNERGY.

I'M DOING SOME THINGS TOGETHER.

IF, IF IF THE MARSHALL PROJECT NEEDS A SIDEWALK THERE AND THE CITY IS BUILDING THE STREET AND THEY, YOU KNOW, SO THERE MAY BE SOME THINGS THAT WE CAN DO TOGETHER AND WE NEED TO EXPLORE THOSE THINGS.

WE DON'T NEED TO, AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT, THINK THAT WE SHOULD HAVE.

WE COULD HAVE. WHY DIDN'T WE WE HERE BEFOREHAND.

THERE'S NOTHING GOING ON AT MARSHALL TODAY.

THERE IS NOTHING BEEN DONE AT PARRISH STREET TO RENOVATE IT.

SO LET'S LET'S TALK ABOUT IT.

WE'VE GOT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS EMPOWERED PBK AS OUR ARCHITECT TO DO THIS WORK.

AND I'M SURE YOU GUYS GOT SOME CITY ENGINEERS AND DESIGNERS ON THE MARSHALL ROAD.

I MEAN, ON THE PARRISH STREET RENOVATION.

LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW THESE THINGS COULD COME TO BE IN A SYNERGISTIC WAY AND HOPEFULLY MAXIMIZE THE RESOURCE THAT THE THE COMMUNITY HAS TO INVEST IN THAT AREA.

SO HERE'S A HERE'S THE LAYOUT OF THE MARSHALL CAMPUS.

AND THIS IS A SEVEN AND A HALF ACRE SITE.

AND MOST OF YOU ALL KNOW JERRY DIDN'T RECOGNIZE ME WHEN I CAME IN.

JERRY AND I, WE WERE PART OF ONE OF THE GREATEST INSTITUTIONS IN ANGLETON, AND THAT IS THE PURPLE PRIDE.

JERRY, TERRY AND I BOTH WERE IN THE BAND TOGETHER, AND OF COURSE, CECIL.

I'M A CLASSMATE WITH HIS LITTLE SISTER JUNIOR.

AND SO WE WE ALL BUT THIS SO MOST OF US ARE ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE MARSHALL SITE.

WE'VE GOT SEVEN AND A HALF ACRES HERE AND THIS IS THE PARRISH STREET, THE PARRISH STREET QUARTER.

THIS IS THE TJ RYAN STREET.

THAT STREET IS EARLY 80S WAS WHEN WE REBUILT THAT STREET.

AND IT HAS SERVED A GREAT PURPOSE FOR THE COMMUNITY.

YOU KNOW, ALL ALL AREAS OF THE COMMUNITY USE THAT STREET.

AND WE SEE THE PARRISH STREET AS BEING A OPPORTUNITY TO DO THE SAME THING.

BUT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS UNDER THE ON THE DRAWING BOARD TO RENOVATE THIS SITE.

THIS IS THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

THIS IS.

THE CURRENT SPECIAL ED DEPARTMENT.

AND SOME OF YOU, I DON'T SEE ANY OF YOU IN THAT AGE GROUP.

CECIL AND I AND CHERRY, WE WERE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, BUT BY THE TIME WE WERE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, THEY CONVERTED THAT TO AN EARLY EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER. AND A LOT OF OUR OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS WENT TO SCHOOL THERE ALL OVER THE COMMUNITY WENT THERE TO MARSHALL.

AND SO SO IT'S STILL IN EXISTENCE.

IT IS CURRENTLY A SPECIAL ED.

PEOPLE ARE THERE EVERY DAY.

THIS WAS THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE THE BUS BARN WHERE THEY DID THE MECHANIC WORK.

OR THAT YOU CAN DRIVE A BUS THROUGH THAT, THROUGH THAT FACILITY.

WE SEE THAT AS, AS BEING CONVERTED INTO A MULTI MULTIFUNCTIONAL MULTI CENTER IN THAT WE'RE GOING TO DOCTOR ROBERT I MEAN I FEEL MR. ROBERTS MR. EDWARDS WILL GIVE LEADERSHIP TO WHAT HAPPENS YOU KNOW GOING FORWARD.

AND SO WE'RE NOT QUITE SURE WHAT THE BOARD, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD IS GOING TO DO.

BUT CURRENTLY THEY ARE THERE IN THIS BUILDING AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE THERE.

WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO THIS IS THE FUELING STATION THAT'S GOING TO GO AWAY.

THIS IS AN OLD DILAPIDATED BUILDING.

USED TO BE THE WORKSHOP, OUR FIRST BUILD, MY FIRST PIECE OF FURNITURE RIGHT THERE.

AND THIS IS THE ATHLETIC.

THIS USED TO BE THE FOOTBALL FIELD AND SOME WE WERE JUST TALKING A FEW MINUTES AGO THAT IN THE LATE THE LATE 50S, MARSHALL WAS THE STATE CHAMPION IN THAT DIVISION OF THE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PROGRAM.

AND THIS WAS THE FIELD HOUSE.

THIS IS THE BUS BARN.

SO THAT'S THE CURRENT LAYOUT.

NOW, AGAIN, THESE ARE RENDERINGS THAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE.

AND WE'RE NOT ABLE TO FUND ALL OF THESE THINGS NOW.

BUT WE'RE GOING TO DO OUR BEST TO TO DO SOMETHING THAT'S WORTHY OF THIS SITE AND FOR THE COMMUNITY.

SO IN THE IN THE RENOVATION, IN THE CONVERSION OF THIS CAMPUS SITE TO A BUS BARN THAT WAS A

[01:20:03]

200 YEAR OLD TREE RIGHT THERE IN THE CORNER, AND A LOT OF US SIT UNDER THAT OAK TREE MANY, MANY DAYS.

AND ALL OF THE FOOTBALL, ATHLETICS WOULD GO TO THAT OAK TREE TO GET OUT OF, OUT OF THE SUN.

SO WE'RE GOING TO HOPEFULLY PUT THAT OAK TREE, PUT A.

AND THAT'S GOING TO BE THE ENTRANCE HERE.

NOW RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET IS FIRST MISSIONARY.

AND THAT'S THE PASTOR'S GOT SOME BIG PLANS FOR BUILDING A SANCTUARY ON THAT, ON THAT ADJACENT LOT THERE.

SO, SO THIS, THIS, THIS SECTION OF THE COMMUNITY IS A REBIRTHING OF THIS COMMUNITY.

AND WE SEE THE GROWTH GOING ON ALL OVER TOWN.

WE THINK THAT THIS IS WORTHY OF SOME, SOME CONSIDERATION TO, TO BE SOME OF SOME OF THAT INTO THIS COMMUNITY.

AND I THINK MISS DAY HERE AT THE OLD TIMERS REUNION, WE ALL BEEN OUT OF SCHOOL 50 PLUS YEARS OR SO.

SHE APPROACHED ME OUT OF THE CLEAR BLUE ABOUT WHAT WE WERE GOING TO DO ABOUT SOME DILAPIDATED AREAS HERE.

AND SO THESE ARE THESE ARE IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT.

BECAUSE IF WE JUST TURN THE DEAF EAR, WE TURN THE BLIND EYE.

IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN.

AND IT'S ON OUR WATCH.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE WE'VE COME TO BE IN THESE POSITIONS.

AND SO WE'VE GOT TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

NEXT SLIDE. AND SO THESE THESE AREAS, THESE PARK AREAS COULD BE THIS IS A PLAYGROUND HERE.

THIS IS THAT OAK TREE.

AND THAT OAK TREE HAS AY AY AY AY AY ELLIPTICAL WALK TO THE MEMORIAL WALL THAT WE OPEN UP WITH.

NEXT SLIDE, MORE WALKWAY.

AND WE'VE GOT AN AGING COMMUNITY.

AND IT WOULD BE GOOD THAT THE COMMUNITY HAS A PLACE, A GOOD, SAFE PLACE.

THIS IS ADDITIONAL INTERACTION FOR THE CITY, BECAUSE WHEN WE DO THIS, ONE OF THE CONCERNS IS SAFETY.

AND WE WANT THE KIDS AND THE COMMUNITY TO BE SAFE.

WELL, THE CITY PROVIDES THAT SAFETY FOR US.

AND SO WE NEED TO BE IN DIALOG AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE ABOUT HOW WE CAN DO THE.

THIS IS THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND IT HAS A PICNIC AREA.

THIS IS THE THE REGION WHERE THE CURRENT SPECIAL ED IS.

AND THAT ELLIPTICAL WALK FROM THE OAK TREE IS COMING ACROSS HERE, THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WITH THE PICNIC AREA NEXT SLIDE.

MORE RENDITIONS.

THIS IS FROM FROM FROM AROUND THE MEMORIAL WALL.

LOOKING BACK TOWARD THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN THIS AREA.

NEXT SLIDE. PLAYGROUND RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE FIRST MISSIONARY BAPTIST FACILITY.

WE'D LIKE TO TO DO SOMETHING THAT WOULD SERVE THE COMMUNITY IN A NUMBER OF WAYS.

THAT'S RIGHT. AND OF COURSE, THIS IS CURRENT STRUCTURE OF THE MEMORIAL WALL.

WE WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND THAT.

THIS THIS IS I IMAGINE THAT'S 60 TO 75 FOOT AND ABOUT 40 TO 50 FOOT TO THE STREET.

WE WOULD LIKE TO BUILD THAT OUT WITH SOME, YOU KNOW, REFLECTION PARK WATER, SIGHT WATER FEATURE HERE.

THAT'S A MARSHALL LINE RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE.

SO THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE PLANNED.

I THINK THAT'S THE END OF IT.

AND, AND AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A, A BENEFIT FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS.

AND WE, WE I LIVE OVER ON HOUSTON STREET.

I'M IN THIS COMMUNITY A COUPLE OF TIMES A DAY FROM HOUSTON STREET TO THIS COMMUNITY.

I DRIVE BY THE THE RIVER.

WHAT'S THAT RIVER? WHAT'S THE RIVER? RIVERWOOD FACILITY.

I SEE THE DEERS.

THEY WERE REAL EXCITED TODAY BECAUSE THEY BROUGHT SOME NEW EQUIPMENT IN THERE.

AND JUST MOVING THEM RIGHT TO THE IN THAT BUCKET, THEY THEY STANDING ON THE EDGE OF THIS MORNING I SEE ALL OF THAT GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT.

I CAN TELL YOU, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A COUPLE OF HOUSES, HALF A DOZEN OR TEN HOUSES, IN THE 70 YEARS THAT I'VE WALKED THIS GROUND, THERE HAS BEEN VERY LITTLE OUTSIDE OF T.J.

WRIGHT INVESTED IN THIS COMMUNITY.

WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHY THAT'S THE CASE, AND WE NEED TO WORK ON NOT LETTING THAT BE THE CASE IN THE NEXT 70

[01:25:03]

YEARS. WE CAN DO SOME THINGS WITHIN OUR POWER.

WE DON'T HAVE THE FUNDING.

IT'S NOT UNLIMITED FUNDING WHERE WE CAN DO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING, BUT WE CAN DO SOME THINGS.

WE NEED TO IDENTIFY THOSE THINGS WE CAN DO, AND WE NEED TO GET ABOUT OUR BUSINESS IN DOING THAT.

AND PARRISH STREET AND THE BREAKING OF THAT CONCRETE, TEARING DOWN THAT WALL AND MAKE A WALKING TRAIL FOR THE COMMUNITY IS SOMETHING WE CAN DO.

IT'S FUNDED. WE'RE NOT ASKING THE CITY FOR FUNDING TO DO THAT.

MR. EDWARDS HAS PROVIDED THAT MEANS THROUGH THE SCHOOL BOARD, AND WE VOTED THAT BOND IN.

SO WE WE KIND OF WORK WITH HIM TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT CAME TO BE, YOU KNOW, AND SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO TRY TO REALIZE THOSE DREAMS. AND WE WOULD LIKE THE CITY BECAUSE THERE ARE SO, SO MANY THINGS THAT THE CITY CAN DO.

THE CITY SECRETARY SAID I NEEDED TO COME UP WITH WHAT HE ASKED HIM FOR.

WELL. I SPENT A MINUTE ON THAT.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.

THESE THINGS, THIS TRANSITION IN THE COMMUNITY NEEDS TO COME, COME ABOUT BY COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.

WE'RE HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE OUR MAYOR HAS MADE HIMSELF AVAILABLE AND PRESENT IT AND PRESENT IT AND PRESENT SINCE HE WAS ELECTED.

I'VE SEEN THE MAYOR A HALF DOZEN TIMES, AND IT HASN'T BEEN IN THE CITY COUNCIL.

HE'S ON MY GROUNDS, HE'S IN MY COMMUNITY.

HE'S MADE HIMSELF AVAILABLE, AND I APPRECIATE THAT.

I CAN'T, I I CAN COUNT AT LEAST A HALF A DOZEN INTERACTIONS WITH THE MAYOR OUTSIDE OF THE CITY HALL.

EACH TIME WE TALK, I'M ENCOURAGED THAT THE CITY GOVERNMENT HAS AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE NEED THAT WE DESIRE AND THE NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY, AND SO WE NEED TO WE NEED A DIALOG.

WE NEED SOME COLOR ON THIS COUNCIL.

YOU KNOW, WE NEED SOMEBODY HERE ADVOCATING FOR THE CAUSE OF THE COMMUNITY.

WE HERE, WE'RE NOT GOING NOWHERE.

WE NEED OUR VOICE HEARD.

WE NEED ENGAGEMENT IN THE COMMUNITY.

COLLABORATE WITH AISD AND THE MARSHALL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION TO REDEVELOP THE MARSHALL CAMPUS AS A PARK MARSHALL ALUMNI IS NOT IN THE PARK BUSINESS.

I-S-D IS NOT IN THE PARK.

MRS ANGLETON CITY IS.

SO LET'S COME TOGETHER.

LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT CAN WE DO.

I KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE LIMITS ON WHAT WE CAN DO, BUT LET'S TALK ABOUT LET'S GET AN UNDERSTANDING.

LET'S DO WHAT'S RIGHT BY THE PEOPLE THAT WE ARE HERE TO SERVE.

THE MANAGEMENT AND UPKEEP OF THE PARK WILL EVOLVE.

YOU KNOW, WHEN WE APPROACHED THE THE CITY, THE ANGLETON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, WE HAD NO CLUE WHERE THAT CONVERSATION WOULD GO. IT HAS GONE TO THIS CONDITION.

IT HAS FOUND $3 MILLION OF FUNDING.

AND AND I SWEAR TO YOU THAT THAT WAS NOT A CLEAR PATH.

SO WE'RE HERE TONIGHT.

WE DON'T KNOW WHERE AND HOW THESE THINGS WILL COME TO BE, BUT I GUARANTEE YOU, WE GOT AN AGGIE ENGINEER SITTING THERE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? WE GOT WE GOT PEOPLE WITH CAPABILITIES TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN AND UNDERSTAND THING.

AND I KNOW IF WE WORK TOGETHER AND COLLABORATE FROM A PHONE LINE, WE CAN MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN.

SO I WANT TO MISS MISS DAVE TO SPEAK TO HER, HER CONCERN.

OKAY? OKAY.

YES. CAN YOU GO TO THE PODIUM NOW? OKAY. THANK YOU.

MAYOR. COUNCIL.

THE HAT WITH MR. WHITTAKER. THAT'S HOW I CALL HIM.

THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK.

LIKE BERNARD SAID, WE WE SAW EACH OTHER AT THE OLD TIMERS REUNION.

I KNOW I DON'T LOOK IT, BUT I WAS THERE.

BUT THE POINT IS, IS I HAD A VISION THAT THE LORD GAVE ME MONTHS AGO, AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.

AND SO I DID NOTHING WITH IT.

BUT I'VE BEEN PRAYING ABOUT IT.

BUT THE THE PORTION OF 274, THAT WOODED AREA RIGHT SOUTH OF CVS, THE LORD SHOWED ME THAT AREA WAS TO BE TRANSFORMED BECAUSE OUR COMMUNITIES, WHEN THEY WERE FIRST ESTABLISHED, THERE'S DIVIDING LINES, RAILROADS, ROADS.

AND INVARIABLY YOU GET TAGGED.

[01:30:02]

FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD, I DON'T.

I'M NOT IN CITY MANAGEMENT OR PLANNING, BUT WE WE HONESTLY CALLED THAT AREA THE QUARTERS ACROSS THE TRACKS, BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO USE A WORD THAT I DON'T LIKE.

THERE'S ALL THOSE COMMUNITIES.

BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT THESE MEN AND WOMEN SITTING HERE HAVE MY HEART.

I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT SEGREGATION 50 YEARS AGO.

I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND IT AT ALL.

AND ONLY IN THE LAST FEW YEARS HAVE I UNDERSTOOD IT.

BUT I AM STANDING HERE IN SUPPORT OF THIS MARSHALL PROJECT AND THE VISION THAT IS GOING FORTH.

NOW, I DON'T KNOW A LOT OF THESE COMMUNITY LEADERS HERE, BUT I'M GOING TO TELL YOU THAT THE INTEGRITY OF THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT COME FROM MARSHALL HIGH SCHOOL IS ABOVE AND BEYOND.

SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW THAT CLARENCE SASSER IS A CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR.

I AND I THINK HE'S THE ONLY ONE IN BRAZORIA COUNTY.

I MAY BE MISTAKEN.

FORT HOOD HAS NAMED A FACILITY AFTER CLARENCE SASSER BECAUSE OF HIS HEROIC ACTIONS THAT HE TOOK IN VIETNAM.

BUT THERE'S NOTHING IN ANGLETON NAMED AFTER CLARENCE SASSER.

HE'S STILL ALIVE, RIGHT? YES. OKAY. HE'S OLD, BUT HE'S STILL ALIVE.

OH, WAIT, I AM TOO. EMMITT.

THOMAS. NOW, IF YOU'RE A FOOTBALL FREAK, EVERYBODY KNOWS WHO EMMITT THOMAS IS.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT YEAR HE GRADUATED.

IN 1964 65.

OH. OH, OKAY.

LONGER THAN I THOUGHT. OKAY.

HE. HE RETIRED FROM THE NFL.

HE ALSO IS A HALL OF FAMER.

AND BUT THERE'S NOTHING THAT I KNOW OF THAT HE'S NAMED AFTER.

OKAY. 51 YEARS IN THE NFL SAYS A LOT TO ME.

IT DOES. MARSHALL HIGH SCHOOL STATE CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT YEAR.

AND I. I LOOKED IT UP, BUT I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING.

BUT SOMEBODY KNOWS GEORGE RUTH, ARMY VETERAN.

COAST GUARD VET.

AND HE LIVES HERE IN ANGLETON AS WELL.

I'M TELLING YOU, THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT MARSHALL HIGH SCHOOL HAVE PRODUCED SAYS A LOT.

I WANT ANGLETON TO BE KNOWN FOR THE INTEGRITY OF THE PEOPLE THAT MARSHALL HAS PRODUCED, AND THE ANGLETON SUPPORTS THAT THE THAT THE COURAGE THAT CLARENCE SASSER HAS THAT WE CAN PRODUCE THAT IN OUR STUDENTS IN ANGLETON THAT THE DISCIPLINE THAT EMMITT THOMAS HAS PORTRAYED THAT IS PASSED ON TO EVERYONE.

EVERYONE NEEDS DISCIPLINE, WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT.

AND GEORGE, RUTH, THE LOYALTY THAT THAT MAN HAS PORTRAYED AND THE WISDOM THAT HE HE HAS IS, TO ME, OFF THE CHARTS.

I HAVE NO WORDS, BUT I AM IN FULL SUPPORT.

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE OUR COMMUNITY OF FAITH COME TOGETHER AND WORK TOGETHER, BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE BLEED RED JUST LIKE I DO. THEY HAVE A HEART AND SOUL LIKE I DO, AND I STAND WITH THEM.

BERNARD AND I, WE WE HAD A I SAY I COME TO JESUS MEETING IN A SENSE THAT WE HAVE A FOCUS.

SO I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THE GOLDEN RULE IS ALIVE AND WELL, AND WE WANT TO EXTEND THAT TO THE WHOLE COMMUNITY OF ANGLETON.

AND I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU, COUNSEL, IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN TO THAT AREA OF TOWN IN A WHILE, I WANT YOU TO GO DRIVE THROUGH IT BECAUSE IT DOES NEED ATTENTION.

BUT ALL OF ANGLETON NEEDS TO BE SUPPORTED.

BUT I'M VERY IMPRESSED WITH MARSHALL HIGH SCHOOL AND WHAT THEY'VE PRODUCED THAT I WANT TO SEE.

THAT CONTINUED.

THANK YOU SO KINDLY.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

DO YOU WANT TO COME UP AND TALK ABOUT PERISH? GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL.

EVENING. PREVIOUS COUNCIL MEETING HAD BROUGHT FORTH A PROPOSAL FOR PARRISH STREET.

THE PROPOSAL INCLUDED BEGINNING AT LIVE OAK ALL THE WAY DOWN TO HIGHWAY 35.

[01:35:07]

WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT INSTALLING A CITY STANDARD 28 FOOT WIDE, DEPRESSED CURB AND GUTTER.

IF WE CAN MAKE IT WORK, THAT IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.

THERE'LL ALSO BE A SIDEWALK INSTALLED ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE ROAD TO HELP PEOPLE BE ABLE TO TO INCREASE THE MOBILITY OF PEOPLE, TO GET THEM TO 35, TO GET THEM AROUND TO THE BUS STOP. THERE'S A LOT OF PICK UP PLACES AROUND THERE.

AND SO WE ARE BEGINNING TO GET EVERYTHING PUT TOGETHER ON THAT.

THE PROJECT CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW IS SOMEWHERE AROUND 1.8 TO $2 MILLION.

AND SO THAT'S THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW.

WE WILL BEGIN SURVEYING.

WE WILL BEGIN DESIGN ON THAT AND COME BACK TO COUNCIL ON THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT.

THE DITCH ON THE EAST SIDE OF PARISH KIND OF GOES DOWN A LITTLE BIT.

SO WHEN YOU PUT THE NEW ROAD IN, THAT GETS FILLED IN, CORRECT? YES, SIR. WE'RE GOING TO THE DITCHES.

WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO FILL THE DITCHES IN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

IF IF IT HAS TO STAY ELEVATED LIKE IT CURRENTLY IS AND PUT PIPE ON ON THE SIDE OR COLLECTION SYSTEM OF SOME SORT.

AGAIN, YOU'RE RETROFITTING INTO SOMETHING THAT'S EXISTING.

SO IT'S NOT LIKE A NEW DEVELOPMENT.

YOU HAVE OUTFALLS THAT ARE ALREADY ESTABLISHED.

YOU'VE GOT TO TIE INTO.

BUT WE'RE GOING TO TRY OUR BEST TO GO AHEAD AND DO A DEPRESSED CURB AND GUTTER AND DRAIN IT OVER THE SIDES AND COLLECT IT AND BRING IT OUT LIKE YOU, LIKE YOU WOULD IN A NEW ONE.

THE CONTROLLING FACTOR IS GOING TO BE THE OUTFALL AT HIGHWAY 35.

THAT'S RIGHT. IS IT FLOWING SOUTH? YEAH, EXACTLY.

SO THAT'S THAT'S GOING TO BE A CONTROLLING FACTOR ON THAT.

BUT UNTIL WE GET ALL THE SURVEYING IN AND RUN THE NUMBERS, THAT'S WHY ON THAT PROPOSAL WE'RE DOING A 30% LEVEL.

TYPICALLY WE JUST GO AHEAD AND GO ALL THE WAY TO 75 FOR THE CITY.

WE ALL WANT TO ROAD REPLACE.

THIS IS WHAT WE WANT.

BUT ON THIS ONE WE'VE GOT TO EVALUATE THE EXISTING CONDITIONS.

BUT WE ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT.

DON, MR. WARD TOLD ME WHEN I WENT TO WORK AT BAKER AND LAWSON THAT MANY YEARS AGO, ALL THE EASY WORK'S BEEN DONE.

SO YOU'VE GOT YOUR TASK AT HAND? YES, SIR. AND WE'VE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN THAT AREA RIGHT THERE ON MILLER STREET.

WE WERE ABLE TO PUT A SIDEWALK IN IN MILLER STREET WHEN WE REDID THE ROADWAY.

WE REDID THE ASPHALT ROADWAY, PUT SOME DRAINAGE IN THERE AND PUT IN SOME SIDEWALKS.

SO IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE.

WE I THINK WE KNOW WE CAN DO IT.

IT'S JUST HOW IS IT GOING TO LOOK WHEN WE WHEN WE GET DONE? IT'S GOING TO BE DEPRESSED.

IS IT GOING TO STAY THE SAME HEIGHT.

BUT THERE IS A SOLUTION THAT WE CAN DO.

LET ME SAY THAT THE STANDARD IS T.J., RIGHT.

YES. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET TO.

IS THAT. YES, SIR.

YES. SO IT WOULD, IT WOULD BE VERY SIMILAR TO TJ RIGHT.

DESIGN STANDARDS HAVE CHANGED A LITTLE BIT SINCE THE EARLY 80S.

SO SOME OF THE NEWER ROADS DON'T LOOK EXACTLY LIKE TJ RIGHT.

SOUTH WALKER, SOME OF THE OLD CONCRETE ORIGINAL CONCRETE STREETS.

THEY LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT NOW.

UM, ONE THING I WAS GOING TO POINT OUT THOUGH, IS YOU TALK ABOUT A SIDEWALK ON THE EAST SIDE OF THAT ROAD, AND THEY HAVE IN THEIR DESIGN, THAT SIDEWALK ON THAT SIDE MIGHT BE SOMETHING WE WORK TOGETHER ON AND MAKE SURE THAT WE GET IT SPECIFIED THE WAY AND JUST TICK THAT BOX OFF AND IT'S DONE.

WE CAN DO THAT. WE'LL KEEP IN TOUCH WHEN WE COME BACK WITH A 30% DESIGN AND WE GET THE CROSS SECTION WE WANT, WE CAN INVITE PEOPLE TO COME.

SUPERINTENDENT. THE THE ENTRANCE ENTRYWAY TO THE THE ENTRYWAY INTO THE WALL THERE, RIGHT OFF OF NICE CONCRETE AREA RIGHT NOW THAT CAN EASILY BE INCORPORATED INTO THIS INTO THIS DESIGN.

SO, SO.

AND WE ARE GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE INTERSECTION OF LIVE OAK, INCLUDING THE INTERSECTION.

CORRECT? BECAUSE THAT WAS WHAT MR. RUTH ASKED FOR, BECAUSE THAT SETS US UP TO DO LIVE OAK TO TJ RIGHT IN THE FUTURE.

MR. JEFFERSON WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THAT.

YES, SIR. MR. JEFFERSON. PLEASE GO ON.

SO APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU.

MY NAME IS WADE JEFFERSON, AND YOU MENTIONED T.J.

RICE STREET. I LIVE ON T.J.

RICE STREET, AND I'VE LIVED THERE FOR ABOUT 50 YEARS.

AND I WAS ON THE COUNCIL.

I MEAN, NOT ON THE COUNCIL.

I WAS ON PLANNING AND ZONING WHEN T.J.

[01:40:01]

RICE WAS ELECTED TO BE.

OKAY, BUT I STAND TODAY TO SHARE SOME INFORMATION.

I UNDERSTAND THAT PARRISH STREET IMPROVEMENTS IS BEING PLANNED NOW FROM 35 TO LIVE OAK.

THAT'S RIGHT. CAN I MENTION JUST ONE THING THAT WILL HAPPEN AT LIVE OAK? TO GO GO TO MILITARY.

AND THAT IS OUR CHURCH IS GETTING READY TO BUILD ABOUT A $3.8 MILLION FACILITY.

AND THAT'S GOING TO START THIS WAY.

OUR CHURCH HAS STARTED.

AND I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT.

AND THEN WHAT WE REALLY LIKE TO DO, IF PARIS COULD BE EXTENDED TO ANGKOR ROAD, WHEN ALL OF THE ALL THIS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IS COMING IN, WE'D BE ABLE TO LIKE TO GET THE PEOPLE OUT TO WE WANT TO GET THEM OUT TO ANGKOR ROAD SO THAT THEY COULD SAY THEIR GOODBYES TO US, AND OUR CITY CAN CONTINUE TO GROW.

THANK YOU. YES, SIR.

IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO TALK ABOUT FOR EVERYONE IN THE AUDIENCE.

JUST REAL QUICK. WE WHEN WE FIRST STARTED TALKING ABOUT PARRISH STREET, WE WERE ORIGINALLY TALKING ABOUT GOING THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ROAD.

SO STARTING AT LIVE OAK, GOING TO MILLER AND WE WERE GOING TO DO THAT SECTION FIRST.

BUT AFTER THE DISCUSSIONS I HAD WITH YOU ALL, THE DECISION WAS, HEY, LET'S TRY TO GO THE OTHER WAY.

AND COUNCIL WAS WAS VERY OPEN TO THAT IDEA.

BOTH ARE $2 MILLION EACH.

THAT WAS KIND OF THE ROUGH ESTIMATES WE WERE GIVEN AT THE TIME.

THERE'S A LOT OF DRAINAGE CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE ON THE THE OTHER SIDE.

SO IF YOU TAKE LIVE OAK AND KIND OF THOUGHT OF IT AS LIKE THE GREAT DIVIDE, EVERYTHING GOING SOUTH OF LIVE OAK IS FLOWING BACK TO 35.

EVERYTHING FROM LIVE OAK GOING TO MILLER IS FLOWING BACK TO MILLER AND GOING OUT.

SO THERE'S SOME DRAINAGE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE TO WORK ON.

AND JOHN INTERRUPT ME IF I'M SAYING IT WRONG.

NO, SIR. YOU'RE. SO THAT'S ONE REASON WHY WE'RE DOING THIS AND BITS, BECAUSE JUST THE SHEER EXPENSE OF PARISH ALL THE WAY TO MILLER. MR. JEFFERSON, I APPRECIATE YOUR POSITIVITY.

GOING TO ANGKOR ROAD.

I WILL TELL YOU THAT TYPICALLY, ROAD EXTENSIONS THESE DAYS, FROM THE CITY STANDPOINT ARE HAPPENING BY THE DEVELOPERS.

MR. THOMAS, YOU SAID SOMETHING A WHILE AGO, AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ALL UNDERSTAND IS INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY REALLY DOES HAVE TO BE EQUITABLE ACROSS ALL THE AREAS OF TOWN.

AND THAT'S ONE REASON WHY BEFORE YOU EVEN APPROACHED ME, WE WERE ALREADY TALKING ABOUT PARRISH STREET BECAUSE WE FELT THAT WE NEEDED TO INVEST IN THAT COMMUNITY, AND WE'VE ACTUALLY BEEN INVESTING ON THE MILLER SIDE IN SOME OF THE ACTIONS WE'VE DONE THERE.

BUT THERE'S A LOT MORE THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

BUT WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, SOUTH SIDE DRIVE, WE'VE DONE THE ROADS ON THE NORTH SIDE.

BUT ONE THING THAT REALLY HELPS IS DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN MORE SPURRING THE NORTH SIDE.

AND THOSE GUYS ARE USUALLY PUTTING IN THAT INFRASTRUCTURE ON THEIR DIME TO START.

SO YOU ASK ABOUT HOW DO WE DEVELOP THAT COMMUNITY BETTER? IT'S JUST GETTING MORE INVESTMENT IN THAT THAT AREA THOUGH.

THE ONE THAT'S COMING AT YOU IS MULBERRY FIELDS, AND THAT'S ON WEST OF NORTH WALKER AND NORTH OF 35.

SO THAT'S A WHAT IS IT, 60, 60 SOMETHING HOUSES COMING IN RIGHT THERE.

4141 THERE, 60 FOOT WIDE.

LOTS 60 FOOT.

YEAH. SO THERE IS SOME INVESTMENT STARTING IN THAT AREA.

AND YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE MR. JEFFERSON HAS A NEW NEIGHBOR THAT WAS BUILT, WHAT, FOUR YEARS AGO OR FIVE YEARS AGO.

AND SO THAT'S THERE IS SOME AND THERE'S BEEN SOME NEW HOUSES ALONG LIVE OAK AS WELL.

AND SO THEY'RE STARTING TO SEE IT.

WE JUST HAVE TO BE GOOD STEWARDS AND KEEP GOING.

SIR. WHAT ELSE DO YOU HAVE ON PARRISH? THAT'S IT FOR RIGHT NOW. WHAT'S THE TIME FRAME? WE'RE LOOKING TO HAVE SOMETHING BACK TO DISCUSS HERE.

PROBABLY 2 OR 3 MONTHS.

IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT TO SURVEY AND DRAW IT IN, EVALUATE IT, AND WE'LL COME BACK WITH A 30% EVALUATIONS OF WHAT WE CAN DO AND GET DIRECTION BACK FROM YOU ALL ON HOW TO PROCEED FORWARD.

YEAH. OF COURSE. YES, SIR.

HOW WOULD CAN YOU GO TO THE MIKE FOR US? I KNOW EVERYTHING.

IT HAS TO BE REPORTED. THERE'S CAMERAS EVERYWHERE.

HERE YOU GO. CURTIS PROBABLY GETS ON YOU A LOT.

GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.

I'M PASTOR HOLLAND, PASTOR OF THE FIRST MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH HERE IN ANGLETON, TEXAS.

PROUD PASTOR.

I'VE BEEN TO PASTOR HERE FOR GOING ON 24.

IS IT? 2425?

[01:45:02]

OH, BOY. I WAS MUCH YOUNGER WHEN I FIRST GOT HERE, AND I'M JUST THANKFUL FOR THE PRIVILEGE TO BE HERE AND FOR THE CAMARADERIE OF EVERYBODY LISTENING TO EACH OTHER.

IT'S QUITE BEAUTIFUL.

COMING FROM HOUSTON, YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT OUR COUNCIL MEETINGS ARE LIKE.

BELIEVE ME, THIS IS GREAT FOR US TO SIT DOWN AND TALK IT OVER BECAUSE WE ALL GOT TO LIVE HERE TOGETHER, AND WE ALL WANT TO LIVE HERE IN PEACE AND DO WHATEVER WE CAN.

MY MY CONCERN WAS JUST I LIKE THE IDEA OF EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING AND ALSO WITH THE BEAUTIFICATION OF THE STREET.

I JUST HAD A QUESTION HOW WOULD THAT AFFECT? BECAUSE PARISH IS GOING TO BE THERE'S SOME CONSTRUCTION GOING TO BE GOING ON.

I BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO COME RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR FAMILY LIFE CENTER IN THAT.

AND RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE OF OF OF THE CONGREGATION SIZE, WE CAN'T GO INTO OUR SMALLER CONGREGATION THAT WE HAD.

WE ACTUALLY GREW DURING COVID AND ARE STILL GROWING.

SO WE'RE WE'RE MEETING IN OUR FAMILY LIFE CENTER.

AND NOW THAT'S GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTION GOING THROUGH THERE.

AND OF COURSE, WE HAVE BUILT A PARKING LOT WHERE THE MEMBERS CAN COME AND ALSO TO WE HAVE A LITTLE AREA WHERE THEY NORMALLY PARK WHERE IF YOU'VE EVER GO INTO THAT AREA, THAT BIG OLD GRASS AREA IS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO CONNECT ALL THREE OF THE BUILDINGS TOGETHER.

OF COURSE, THAT'S COMING WITH PLANNING AND WE'RE WORKING WITH BCH RIGHT NOW ACCORDING TO OUR BUDGET DURING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THAT STREET. AND I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE TO DO THAT CONSTRUCTION.

WE'RE LOOKING TO BREAK GROUND SOMETIME, AT LEAST BY FEBRUARY, TO HAVE AN IDEA OF WHO WE WANT TO GO WITH.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WORK WITH THE CITY.

UH, AND MAKING SURE WE WORK WITH OUR CONTRACTORS AS TO WHO CAN GO IN AT CERTAIN TIMES.

BECAUSE ALSO, TOO, WE DO HAVE A THE DRAINAGE IS ALWAYS AN ISSUE IN THAT.

AND WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF IDEAS ACCORDING TO THE DRAINAGE OF THE PROPERTY, WE HAVE ENOUGH PROPERTY FOR DRAINAGE.

THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM. BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE WORK WITH THE CITY.

IN THAT. AND IS THERE ANY WAY, SOMEHOW OR ANOTHER, IF I WERE WHILE YOU WERE CONSIDERING THAT, AND YOU KNOW THAT WE'RE PLANNING, IF YOU FEEL THAT SOMEHOW OR ANOTHER SOMETHING'S GOING TO HAPPEN, WE TALK TOGETHER.

AND BECAUSE WE WANT TO WORK WITH THE CITY, BECAUSE ALL THE WATER DOESN'T CARE WHETHER IT'S THE CITY OR WHETHER IT'S THE CHURCH.

THAT'S RIGHT. PASTOR, IS YOUR IS YOUR FAMILY LIFE CENTER NORTH OF LIVE OAK? YES IT IS.

IS IT NORTH? THE SOUTH.

THE NEXT BLOCK UP? YEAH. WELL, THIS CONSTRUCTION IS NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THERE.

THE CONSTRUCTION IS GOING TO BE ON PARISH SOUTH FROM LIVE OAK SOUTH.

OKAY. SO IT'S NOT COMING TOWARD THE.

NOT YET. NOT YET.

NOT YET. SO IT'S GOING TO STOP RIGHT THERE.

IT'S NOT GOING TO GO ANY FURTHER.

RIGHT. ACCORDING TO WHAT YOU WAS ASKING FOR, FOR THAT TO START, THAT DIDN'T GO ALL THE WAY OUT TO THE END.

IT'D BE, IT'D BE. THAT'D BE ANOTHER PHASE, PASTOR.

OKAY. OKAY.

OKAY. JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THAT IF THERE'S SOME TYPE OF CONFLICT OR SOMETHING THAT'S GOING ON, YOU KNOW, GET IN TOUCH WITH US.

NOW, THEY WILL WANT TO MAKE SURE THROUGHOUT CONSTRUCTION, WE ENSURE THAT PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS AND CONGREGATIONS HAVE ACCESS TO THEIR FACILITIES.

IT'S YOU. OKAY.

THERE MIGHT BE A IT MIGHT BE A PAIN ONCE IN A WHILE PUTTING CONCRETE DOWN, BUT AS SOON AS THEY CAN GET ACROSS IT, THEY'LL TRY TO LET THEM IN.

SO, YOU KNOW, AFTER YOU GET SOME REST, YOU WAKE UP TOMORROW MORNING AND SAY, WE NEED TO GO ALL THE WAY OUT TO ANGLETON.

I WILL SAY THAT. I WILL SAY THAT I'M SURE.

ABSOLUTELY. IN JOHN'S STUDY THERE'LL BE DISCUSSIONS OF OF DRAINAGE.

AND THEN ALSO WHEN YOU START DOING YOUR WORK, THERE'LL BE DRAINAGE DISCUSSIONS.

AND, AND IF THERE'S NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, THE SITUATION NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED TO MAKE IT WORK BETTER FOR EVERYONE.

I'M SURE THAT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT WILL ALL DISCUSS AT THAT TIME.

AND BELIEVE ME, THE CITY IS AT LEAST THESE MEMBERS OF COUNCIL AND THE MEMBERS BEFORE THEM.

EVERYBODY'S BEEN REALLY RECEPTIVE ABOUT DEALING WITH DRAINAGE AND UNDERSTANDING.

IF WE'RE GOING TO GO DO BRAND NEW CONSTRUCTION, LET'S ADDRESS THAT WHILE EVERYTHING'S TORN UP, YOU KNOW, AND NOT COME BACK AFTERWARDS.

SO WE HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL COMMITTEES FOR THE CITY.

YOU. IT'S ALL IN THE SAME AREA.

YES, SIR. AMONGST HIMSELF? YEAH. VERY TRUE.

I HAVE ONE OTHER QUESTION FOR YOU.

YES, SIR. ARE THE WATER LINES AND SEWER LINES BEING REPLACED ON THE STREET AT THE SAME TIME? IS THAT PART OF THIS PACKAGE? PARRISH STREET BEEN REPLACED.

I HAD BEEN SLIPPING ON.

ALL RIGHT. OKAY. WHEN WAS THAT? WHEN WAS THAT DONE? DO YOU REMEMBER? TWO YEARS AGO.

TWO YEARS AGO. OKAY, SO THE UTILITIES ARE THERE.

[01:50:04]

IT'S JUST NOW WE NEED TO GET THE ROAD AND ADDRESS SOME OF THE DRAINAGE ISSUES.

AND AS FAR AS YOUR QUESTION TOO, ON SOME OF THE THINGS WE PUT TOGETHER, A TRAFFIC CONTROL PLAN AND A PHASING PLAN, BECAUSE WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT EMERGENCY VEHICLES HAVE ACCESS THROUGH THAT AREA.

WE ALSO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE CAN DO.

THERE'S DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES YOU CAN DO HIGHER CONCRETE AND INTERSECTION.

SO THEY OPEN BACK UP OR IN FRONT OF A CHURCH OR A SCHOOL DISTRICT OR SOMETHING.

SO THERE'S ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF THINGS THAT WE CAN DO.

BUT OUR MAIN GOAL TO BE A SUCCESSFUL PROJECT IS TO LIMIT THE DISRUPTION OF PEOPLE'S DAILY ACTIVITIES.

AND THAT'S HOW YOU HAVE IT. THAT'S HOW YOU HAVE A SUCCESSFUL PROJECT.

OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING? ANY COMMENTS OR IS THERE ANY COUNCIL DIRECTION OR ANYTHING ELSE? I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY COUNCIL DIRECTION AT THIS MOMENT BECAUSE WE'RE WE'RE STILL WE GOT A PROCESS THROUGH PARISH AND THE PLANNING IS GOING ON.

BUT I MEAN MY, MY GUIDANCE WOULD BE JUST TO LOOK AT DRAINAGE ISSUES WHEN YOU'RE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE DOING THAT.

AND EVEN IF THAT DOES EXTEND A LITTLE BIT NORTH, I MEAN IF EVERYTHING'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BE A WISE TIME TO STRIKE.

BUT, I MEAN, WE CAN THING ABOUT GOING A LITTLE BIT NORTH WITH DRAINAGE IS IT GOES THE OTHER WAY.

I KNOW IT GOES THE OTHER WAY IS YOU'RE CHANGING YOUR WATERSHED.

SO INSTEAD OF THE WATER GOING BACK TOWARDS MILLER AND YOU'RE TAKING IT TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION, A DIFFERENT POINT LOADING, WHICH WE COULD WORK IT OUT IF IT WAS A CITY OUTFALL.

THAT'S A TEXT, NOT OUTFALL.

SO TEXDOT MAY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH US CHANGING THAT DRAINAGE AND COMING IN AT A DIFFERENT WAY, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN ADDRESS.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT DOING BECAUSE WE'VE GOT TO DO DRAINAGE AREA MAPS, WE'VE GOT TO DO THINGS OF THAT NATURE AND LOOK AT THE THE AMOUNT OF RUNOFF PRODUCED IN THAT AREA. OKAY.

AND COORDINATION WITH TEXDOT, WE ARE GOING TO COORDINATE WITH TEXDOT.

WE HAVE TO COORDINATE WITH THEM NO MATTER WHAT.

IT WILL BE NICE.

CAN YOU, AS COUNCILMAN BUTH MENTIONED, THE EXTENDING THE CONCRETE IN FRONT OF THE MEMORIAL WALL, HOW MUCH THAT WOULD COST AS A CHANGE ORDER ON ON THE BID.

WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THAT WHEN YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

UM, I DEFINITELY APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU COMING OUT TONIGHT.

AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK WHAT WE'RE DOING IN THIS AREA IS GOING TO BE VERY BENEFICIAL IN THE LONG RUN.

THERE'S A LOT OF ACTIVITY GOING ON, AND HOPEFULLY IT'S THE CATALYST THAT KEEPS THAT THAT AREA REDEVELOPING AND GETTING BETTER AND BETTER.

AND I THINK IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WITHOUT PEOPLE AS YOURSELF COMING TOGETHER AND SAYING, WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING IN OUR AREA.

AND A LOT OF THAT NOWADAYS IS AN HOA, BASICALLY.

BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S, I THINK GREAT FOR EVERYONE, AND I APPRECIATE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND ALL THE THINGS THAT THEY'RE DOING AS WELL TO HELP MAKE THIS A REALITY.

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD? NO, NO.

OKAY, GOOD. OTHER THAN CAN YOU GET READY? I'LL GET OUR PEOPLE IN TOUCH WITH YOU, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S KIND OF SOUNDS LIKE THE TIMING OF YOU DOING THAT PROJECT IS PROBABLY GOING TO INTERCEDE WITH THE TIMING OF WHEN WE'LL BE DOING SOME THINGS OVER THERE.

AND SO I THINK COORDINATION WILL BE VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.

MOST DEFINITELY, MOST DEFINITELY.

WE'LL DO THAT AFTER WE GET DIRECTION.

AFTER 30%, YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE MIC.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR. MY NAME IS DONALD BROWN.

I'M A LIFETIME MEMBER OF THIS COMMUNITY.

I HAD A QUESTION PERTAINING TO SOME PROPERTY ON ERSKINE, JUST WEST OF T.J..

RIGHT. IT'S ALL THIS.

THE HOUSING AREA HAS BEEN CLEARED OFF.

NOBODY SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO WITH IT.

IS THIS PROPERTY THAT THEY'VE BEEN GOING OVER.

WE ENDED UP BUYING IT. PRIVATE PROPERTY.

RIGHT? YES.

YEAH. AND.

NOW THE ERSKINE AND AND LOCUST ON THE WEST SIDE OF ERSKINE.

ERSKINE, COME DOWN TO THE OLD PROPERTY.

THEY CLEARED ALL THOSE HOUSES OUT.

IT WAS ALL OVERGROWN.

YES. OH.

YES. YEAH.

I'VE. NOTHING'S COME TO US THAT I KNOW.

IT'S PRIVATE. THEY CLEARED OUT.

YES THEY DID, BUT THEY WERE SIX, SEVEN MONTHS AGO.

NOBODY KNOWS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

AND JUST SITTING THERE WITH THOSE.

EVACUATE THE NAVIGATOR BUILDINGS.

YES, SIR. I'LL SEE IF I CAN GET YOU AN ANSWER.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

ANYBODY ELSE? THANK YOU ALL. ALL FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT.

THANK YOU. ITEM NUMBER 13.

DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE CHANGE ORDER NUMBER ONE WITH MITHILA MITHILA CONSTRUCTION INC FOR THE 2023 CONCRETE PAVING AND MAINTENANCE PROJECTS.

[13. Discussion and possible action to approve Change Order No. 1 with Matula Matula Construction Inc., for the 2023 Concrete Paving & Maintenance Project.]

[01:55:06]

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. COUNCIL.

COUNCIL HAD INSTRUCTED US PREVIOUSLY TO PUT OUT A MAINTENANCE PROJECT FOR A TOTAL AMOUNT OF ABOUT $300,000 OF THE BUDGETED AMOUNT.

WE WENT WE PACKAGED IT UP.

WE IDENTIFIED TWO LOCATIONS, SOUTH BELL AND ALSO THOMAS OR DU MARS.

I'M SORRY TO MARS.

AND WE WENT OUT FOR BID AND WE GOT THE BIDS BACK.

WE GOT A LOT BETTER PRICES THAN WE THOUGHT WE COULD.

SO WITH THE REMAINING FUNDS, WE WENT AHEAD AND LOOKED AT DOING SOME ADDITIONAL WORK, WHICH THIS CHANGE ORDER IS.

AN ADDITIONAL WORK INCLUDES THE INCREASE OF THE EXIT ON ENCHANTED OAKS AND COUNTY ROAD 44, EXTENDING THAT PAVEMENT TO CREATE A RIGHT TURN WHERE NOT EVERYBODY'S QUEUING IN LINE.

THE SECOND ONE WAS IS AFTER THE BID OF THE PROJECT.

IT WAS IDENTIFIED THAT ON SOUTH BELL, THE STORM SEWER APPARENTLY HAS A A LEAK AND SOME OF THE SIDEWALK IS SINKING AND A DRIVEWAY SINKING.

SO WE INCLUDED THAT COST TO COME IN HERE.

WE GOT A BID, WE GOT A CONTRACT.

WE GOT THE CONTRACTOR TO GIVE US A COST FOR THAT.

SO THAT'S INCLUDED IN HERE TO FIX THE STORM SEWER, TO FIX THE THE SIDEWALK AND ALSO THE DRIVEWAY.

THEN ONCE WE WERE OUT MARKING THE AREAS ON DUMAS AND SOUTH BELL, BECAUSE WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT COST, WE ONLY DID WHAT WE NEEDED TO GET DONE IN ORDER TO.

WE HAVE A LITTLE EXTRA FUNDING.

WE THINK WE CAN GET A BETTER PRODUCT, A BETTER THING.

SO WE TOOK THE REST OF THAT FUNDS AND EXTENDED IT OUT TO IDENTIFY THEIR LIMITS, TO FULLY UTILIZE THE MONEY THAT YOU ALL HAD MADE AVAILABLE FOR THESE PROJECTS.

IT'S GREAT. HE USED ALMOST EVERY DOLLAR, DIDN'T WE? YES, SIR. IF I COULD HAVE GOT A COUPLE MORE, WE WOULD HAVE HIT SOME OTHER PLACES.

SO MANY AREAS STILL TO FIX IN YOUR POCKET.

YOU'RE MAXED OUT ON CHANGE ORDER.

YOU'RE MAXED OUT ON CHANGE ORDER 25%.

THIS IS THIS IS OVER THE 25%.

BUT I DO GOT A LETTER FROM MATULA.

MATULA SAYING THAT THEY'VE AGREED TO LET ALLOW THOSE UNIT PRICES THAT WERE ESTABLISHED UNDER COMPETITIVE BIDDING TO BE EXTENDED OUT PAST THAT 25%.

COUNCIL. DO I HAVE ACTION? MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CHANGE ORDER.

AND SO I HAVE A MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM TOWNSEND, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN BOOTH TO APPROVE THE CHANGE ORDER NUMBER ONE TO MATILDA FOR THE 2023 CONCRETE PAVING AND MAINTENANCE PROJECT.

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

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

THANK YOU. JOHN. THANK YOU.

I'VE. NUMBER 14. DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE FUNDING ASSISTANCE AND BACKSTOP LOCATIONS FOR ROTARY CLUB OF ANGLETON DISTRICT.

[14. Discussion and possible action to approve funding assistance and backstop locations for Rotary Club of Angleton District Grant Youth Baseball and Softball Backstop project.]

GRANT YOUTH BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL BACKSTOP PROJECT.

YES. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

SO I AM HERE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF CITY STAFF, BUT I AM ALSO HERE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ROTARY CLUB OF ANGLETON.

WE WERE APPROACHED BY THE ROTARY CLUB OF ANGLETON THIS YEAR FOR A PROPOSAL FOR A DISTRICT GRANT.

THIS WAS PRECIPITATED BY A ROTARY CLUB MEETING WHERE ROBERT MARTIN, WHO IS HERE IN THE AUDIENCE WITH US TONIGHT AT THE TIME, WAS THE VICE PRESIDENT FOR ANGLETON LITTLE LEAGUE, IS CURRENTLY THE PRESIDENT OF ANGLETON LITTLE LEAGUE, AND HE SPOKE TO THE ROTARY CLUB REGARDING THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL PRACTICE LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF ANGLETON AND REQUESTED THAT THE ROTARY CLUB CONSIDER THAT FOR A FUTURE PROJECT.

SO IF YOU'RE UNFAMILIAR WITH SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT THE ROTARY CLUB DOES, THEY ROUTINELY APPLY FOR A DISTRICT GRANT ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.

AND SOMETIMES WITH THAT DISTRICT GRANT, WHAT HAPPENS IS THE CLUB ITSELF HAS A SAVINGS ACCOUNT, I'LL SAY, THAT ALLOWS THEM TO PROVIDE MATCHING FUNDS FOR A DISTRICT GRANT, WHICH IS TYPICALLY HISTORICALLY HAS BEEN RANGING ANYWHERE FROM 2 TO $3000.

SO THE BOARD THIS PAST YEAR DID, BECAUSE OF ROBERT'S PRESENTATION, SUGGEST THAT THIS BE THE PROJECT FOR 2023.

CHRIS AND I BOTH SERVE IN AND ACTUALLY TRAVIS AS WELL IN THIS CLUB, AND WE WERE NOT PARTICIPATING VOTERS IN THIS PROJECT.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT VERY CLEAR BECAUSE IT DOES OBVIOUSLY BENEFIT THE CITY.

AND ONE OF THE LOCAL ASSOCIATIONS WERE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BUT THE BOARD DID VOTE ON THIS PROJECT.

WE DID PURSUE THE GRANT.
