SO WHILE YOU'RE HERE, OLGA, I HAVE SOMETHING TO READ AND I WANNA MAKE SURE EVERYONE CAN HEAR ME ONLINE AS WELL.

EARLIER THIS YEAR, WE WRAPPED UP A RENOVATION PROJECT AT THE 1983 WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.

THIS BUILDING HAD NOT HAD ANY UPDATES SINCE IT'S BUILT, SINCE IT WAS BUILT, AND IF THERE WERE PICTURES ONLINE, UM, THERE YOU CAN SEE JUST HOW BAD A CONDITION THE FACILITY WAS IN THESE RENOVATIONS THAT WE'VE MADE, HAVE ADDRESSED THE FOLLOWING NEEDS A PROFESSIONAL WORK ENVIRONMENT, WHICH WE DIDN'T HAVE IN THAT, IN THAT AREA.

UH, THE ABILITY TO SHELTER THERE FOR 24 HOURS IN OPERATIONS FOR EMERGENCY.

OLGA, HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU STAYED UP THERE ALL NIGHT DURING A STORM? TOO MANY TO COUNT.

PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE JUST HOW MUCH WORK GOES INTO KEEPING OUR CITY OPERATIONS GOING IN THE TIME OF A CRISIS OR A HURRICANE.

AND OLGA TYPICALLY IS THE ONE WHO'S USUALLY THERE KEEPING EVERYTHING RUNNING FOR US SO THAT WE ARE ABLE TO HAVE WATER THAT FLUSHES AND TOILET OR TOILETS TO FLUSH AND WATER THAT TURNS ON.

AND IT'S BECAUSE OF OLGA AND ALL HER EFFORTS OVER THE 24 YEAR, 20 YEARS NEXT YEAR.

NEXT MONTH IS 20 YEARS.

OFFICIALLY 20 IN REALITY.

30, RIGHT? 'CAUSE YOU'RE WITH, WITH THE CONTRACTOR AND WITH CITY PRICE.

YEAH.

AND THEN WE ALSO UPDATED THE SECURITY AND THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE FACILITY.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FOUR, DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF THE ANGLETON CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 8TH, 11TH, AND 25TH AND AUGUST 8TH AND 22ND OF 2023.

COUNSEL, I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES.

SECOND.

I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN ROBERTS, A SECOND BY COUNCILMAN DANIEL TO APPROVE THE MINUTES.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? MAY I ASK A QUESTION? YES, SIR.

SINCE I WASN'T HERE FOR

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AND ACTION ITEMS. ITEM NUMBER FIVE, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE NUMBER 2 0 2 3 2 2 5 1.

ALL THOSE OPPOSED? SAME SIGN.

MOTION CARRIES ON PUBLIC HEARINGS

[5. Conduct a public hearing, discussion, and possible action on a request for approval of Ordinance No. 20231212-005-1 amending the City of Angleton Code of Ordinances, Zoning Chapter 28, and Ordinance No. 20231212-005-2 amending Chapter 23- Land Development Code.]

AMENDING THE CITY OF TON CODE OF ORDINANCES ZONING CHAPTER 28.

IN ORDINANCE NUMBER 2 2 3 2 1 2 5 DASH TWO AMENDING CHAPTER 23 OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE OTIS MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

UM, YOU'RE STILL IN A PUBLIC HEARING, UM, FOR THIS PARTICULAR ITEM OF CODE CHAPTERS 28 AND 23, SOME MODIFICATIONS THAT ARE ON THE TABLE FOR OUR TEXT AMENDMENT REGARDING THE SETBACK CHANGES.

UM, THERE IS AN ATTACHMENT ON PAGE 45 OF THE AGENDA IN WHICH WE SUMMARIZE THE CHANGES AND ALSO YOUR MOST RECENT RECOMMENDATIONS TO, UM, VARIOUS SETBACK INCREASES.

AND WE ALSO SHIFTED THE, UM, HALF ACRE LOTS AND 20 SQUARE FOOT LOTS IN THE SFE 20 AND SF, UH, 10 TO ADJUST TO MATCH, UM, THE CONCEPT OF THE AGRICULTURE OF THE LARGER LOT DEVELOPMENTS.

LOT PAVINGS AS USED SEE IN TERMS OF LOT WIDTHS HAVE BEEN INCREASED TO 30 FEET IN THE VARIOUS DISTRICTS OF RESIDENTIAL.

AND OTHER THAN THAT, WE HAVE THE SAFETY MEASURES THAT ARE INCORPORATED THAT WOULD COVER CUL-DE-SACS, AND ALSO, UM, AS I STATED, THE PAVEMENT WITH HER RIGHT OF WAY.

SO THE CUL-DE-SACS WOULD BE DEEMED THE FIRE LANE.

SO TONIGHT WE CAN, WE CAN APPROVE, WE CAN CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND WE CAN TAKE ACTION, CORRECT? YES, SIR.

THAT IS, UM, ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS.

BASED ON THE INPUT FROM THE PUBLIC AND ALSO COUNCIL'S ADJUSTMENTS TO THOSE VARIOUS DISTRICTS.

DURING PUBLIC HEARING, DID YOU HAVE ANYBODY COME FORWARD SINCE THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING TO ANY COMMENTS DURING YOUR LAST OR SINCE YOUR LAST MEETING? WE'VE GOTTEN SOME FEEDBACK FROM OTHER DEVELOPER, UM, REGARDING, UM, WHAT THIS DOES TO SOME OF OUR PENDING DEVELOPMENTS.

WE'LL WORK WITH LEGAL IN TERMS OF THE EDUCATION PROCESS, HOW WE NEED TO ROLL THIS OUT TO THE PUBLIC, WHAT THIS MEANS TO, UM, THE EXISTING DISTRICTS.

HOWEVER, AS YOU KNOW, SOME DEVELOPMENTS ARE CURRENTLY WORKING THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED ALREADY.

SO WE'RE TRYING TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC FROM THAT STANDPOINT.

ANY COMMENT FROM CITIZENS INSIDE THE CITY? UM, NONE OTHER THAN WHAT IS THE IMPACT ON SOME OF THE PENDING DEVELOPMENTS? AS YOU KNOW, THE DIFFICULTY WITH THE 20 FOOT SETBACK ON SOME OF THE RESIDENTIAL LOTS, IT LENDS FOR THAT ENCROACHMENT ISSUE THAT WE'RE HAVING WITH THE SIDEWALK, UM, AND ALSO FORCING PEOPLE ONTO THE STREET.

SO THOSE WERE THE ONLY OTHER COMMENTS, AND I THINK YOU ALL ARE AWARE OF THOSE.

COUNSEL, DO I HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? MAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TIM TOWNSEND.

SECOND BY COUNCILMAN ROBERTS TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

ALL THOSE OPPOSED, SAME SIGN.

MOTION CARRIES.

WE ARE NOW OUT OF PUBLIC HEARING COUNCIL OUR TURN.

THOUGHTS? I'M PLEASED.

YEAH, SO I'M NOT, I WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE.

THERE'S A TYPO THAT MY OFFICE DID, UH, IN THE FOOTER FOR THE VERY FIRST ORDINANCE, WE HAVE AN EXTRA EYE IN THE WORD ORDINANCE.

THAT WAS MY OFFICE, SO I APOLOGIZE.

SO, PRONUNCIATION DIFFERENCE OR, WELL, I LIKE TO TAKE BLAME WHEN THERE IS A MISTAKE IN THE TYPING, AND THAT IS DEFINITELY OUR MISTAKE.

SO IT'S NOT ORDINANCE ANYMORE.

IT'S ORDINANCE ORD NAMES? I GUESS SO.

I I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.

THAT WAS OUR OFFICE.

OF ANY OF THE ZONING DISTRICTS.

I'VE BEEN GIVING, I'VE BEEN GIVING THIS A A BIT OF THOUGHT PAST COUPLE OF DAYS.

UM, I THINK WHAT'S BROUGHT THIS TO LIGHT IS THE SITUATION OF THE PARKING AND, UH, SUCH IN, IN WIND, UH, NOT WINDROW IN RIVERWOOD RANCH.

IS THAT CORRECT? YEAH, ONE OF THEM.

ONE OF THEM, UH, RIVERWOOD RANCH IS THE ONE THAT I'VE, I'VE SEEN THE WORST.

THE WORST IN RIVERWOOD RANCH BEING A PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

WELL, THEY DON'T REALLY FALL IN UNDER THE GUIDELINES

[00:15:01]

FIVE, SIX, OR SEVEN.

UH, I, I'VE SPENT A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME IN THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS LOOKING THROUGH NUMEROUS SUBDIVISIONS HERE IN TOWN, UH, THAT FULLY DEVELOPED.

UH, SOME OF 'EM QUITE OLD LIKE CHEVY CHASE SUBDIVISION, UH, FULLY DEVELOPED SUBDIVISIONS WHERE WE DON'T REALLY HAVE TRAFFIC PROBLEMS. UH, AND THE VAST MAJORITY OF THESE SUBDIVISIONS HAVE 25 FOOT BUILDING LINES.

UH, WHICH, WHICH IN, IN MY THINKING, IT'S, IT IS NOT NECESSARILY THE BUILDING LINE.

IT'S THE, THE DENSITY THAT WE'VE, THAT THAT'S OCCURRING IN THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

RIVERWOOD RANCH.

YOU'VE GOT, UH, MOST OF THOSE LOTS OVER THERE, LIKE 45 FOOT LOTS.

, THE BUILDING LINE IS 20 FEET.

YES.

SO YOU, IN, IN, IN RETROSPECT, WE, WE, WE LET THE DEVELOPER DEVELOP A, A PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT JUST CREATED A NIGHTMARE.

, THAT SITUATION IS GONNA CONTINUE TO EXIST.

CHANGING THE BUILDING LINES AT THIS POINT IS NOT GONNA SOLVE THAT PROBLEM.

THAT PROBABLY GONNA CONTINUE TO PERSIST.

THE PEOPLE GONNA CONTINUE TO PARK IN THE STREET AND GONNA CAUSE GONNA CAUSE PASSAGEWAY PROBLEMS OUT THERE.

AND THEY'RE GONNA, THEY'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO PARK IN THEIR DRIVEWAY AND BLOCK AND BLOCK THE SIDEWALKS.

AND I, I, TO A CERTAIN DEGREE, I THINK MOVING ALL THE RESIDENTIAL BUILDING LINES BACK TO 30 FOOT, 35 FEET IS NOT NECESSARILY SOLVING A PROBLEM THAT EXISTS IN THE, IN THE, IN THE 6.0 OR 6.3, WHATEVER THE MINIMUM BUILDING LINE IS 20 FEET.

THAT SHOULD GO BACK TO 25.

I WOULD, I WOULD AGREE THAT, BUT I'VE LOT, THE, UH, THE 7.2, THE MINIMUM BUILDING LINE IS 25 FEET.

YOU GO AND LOOK IN THE SUBDIVISIONS THAT ARE, THAT ARE CONSTRUCTED IN THESE, IN THESE AREAS, UH, SUCH AS HARVEST GLEN, UH, HERITAGE COURT, THESE SUBDIVISIONS WHO ARE IN THIS ZONE, THE 7.0 ZONE, DON'T HAVE THE PROBLEMS THAT ARE, THAT ARE EXISTING IN RIVERWOOD RANCH.

CORRECT.

I WILL SAY THIS.

COUNCILMAN BOOTH, I ASKED THAT QUESTION WHEN WE WERE DOING THE PD ABOUT WIDTH OF THE ROAD AND, AND THE SETBACKS.

AND I WAS CONSISTENTLY BROUGHT BACK TO, AND THIS WASN'T OTIS, BUT PREDECESSOR.

WELL, THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE SAYS THIS IS WHAT IT IS.

SO THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO.

I KNOW IT WAS A PD, BUT THEY WERE CONTINUING TO GO BACK TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE FOR REFERENCE.

SO THAT'S WHY I FEEL LIKE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS TRUE, THAT THESE WOULD BE PDSS THAT WOULD STILL BE ALLOWED, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE HAD NO RECOURSE AT THE, WHEN WE ASKED THE QUESTION, THEY SAID, REVERTING BACK TO LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

THIS IS WHAT IT IS.

SO NOW IF LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE HAS CHANGED, THEN WE HAVE A LEG TO STAND ON WITH THE PD.

THAT'S ANOTHER TOPIC TO, TO THAT ORDINANCE DOESN'T EXIST NOW.

, THAT'S MY INTERPRETATION.

AM I CORRECT, OTIS? YES.

AND IN ANY NEW PD, YOU CAN NEGOTIATE THOSE STANDARDS AND GIVE RELIEF IF YOU HAVE A PAVEMENT WIDTH.

THE PAVEMENT WIDTH RESTRICTS, THE RICKS RESTRICTS THE AMOUNT OF WAY FOR TWO CARS TO PARK AND A CAR TO GO DOWN THE MIDDLE.

YOU COULD PUT A BUILDING LINE, IT'S A HUNDRED FEET WIDE OUT THERE, YOU'RE STILL GONNA HAVE PEOPLE RESTRICTED TO BETWEEN THE CURBS.

BUT WE DIDN'T WIDE.

SO IF WE FEEL WIDE, WE'LL WIDEN THE PAVEMENT WIDTH BY A COUPLE OF FEET FROM 28 TO SAY 30.

DO THAT WITHIN A 60 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY.

YOU'VE GOT ENOUGH ROOM TO PUT THE SIDEWALKS IN AND, AND, AND, AND, AND, AND TO HAVE A, A COUPLE MORE FEET DOWN THE MIDDLE FOR A CAR TO PASS MORE EASILY OR A FIRE TRUCK TO PASS MORE EASILY.

UH, WE STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM OVER AT RIVERWOOD RANCH.

AND I'M GONNA SUGGEST THAT WE, WE COME UP WITH SOME SORT OF AN ORDINANCE THAT SAYS YOU CAN'T PARK ON THE ODD SIDE OF THE STREET, OR YOU CAN'T PARK ON THE EVEN SIDE OF THE STREET BECAUSE OF A SAFETY ISSUE.

THAT'S, THAT'S ANOTHER, WELL, THAT ORDINANCE DOES,

[00:20:01]

SO PARDON ME, THAT ORDINANCE DOES EXIST TODAY WHERE YOU CAN, UM, RESTRICT PARKING ON ONE SIDE OF THE ROAD ONLY.

BUT IT'S NOT IN EFFECT RIVERWOOD RANGE.

IT'S JUST NOT IMPOSE OR ENFORCE ANYWHERE IN THE CITY RIGHT NOW.

BUT WE HAVE, WELL, HELP ME OUT THERE, OTIS.

IF WE'VE GOT A, IF WE HAVE A, IF WE HAVE A, A SAFETY ISSUE DOWN THE STREET AND WE'RE NOT IMPOSING THE ORDINANCE THAT'S ON IN EFFECT, THEN SHAME ON US.

RIGHT.

AND THAT'S CORRECT.

WE DID BRING THAT TO THE COUNCIL AGENDA AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO SOME OF THESE RECOMMENDED CHANGES.

I, I STATED TO YOU ALL THAT WE DO HAVE THAT OTHER, UM, ORDINANCE IN WHICH IT'S JUST NOT ENFORCED.

WHAT DOES IT SAY? WHAT DOES THE CURRENT, I THINK I REFERENCED IT.

UM, BASICALLY IT, IT, IT SAYS JUST THAT, THAT, UM, THE CITY HAS THE AUTHORITY TO IMPOSE A RESTRICT PARKING.

SO IT HAS THE AUTHORITY.

IT DOES NOT SAY THAT IT'S IMPOSED.

WE HAVE THE RIGHT, RIGHT.

IT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT.

WE HAVEN'T DONE.

WE HAVEN'T ACTED.

SO WE JUST HAVE IT WITHIN OUR TOOLBOX.

IF WE EVER CHOOSE TO EXERCISE, I WOULD RECOMMEND, HEY, LET'S DO AN OVERALL ANALYSIS OF WHAT WE HAVE AND, AND COME UP WITH A PRIORITY LIST.

AND THEN THAT COULD BE BY RESOLUTION.

A DIRECTION TO PUBLIC WORKS, PUBLIC SAFETY TO PUT UP THE SIGNAGE AND IMPOSE THAT REQUIREMENT IN CERTAIN AREAS.

SO TO ADDRESS, UM, MY BELIEF AND THE REASON FOR THE FURTHER SETBACKS FROM THE ROAD WAS TO REMOVE VEHICLES OUT OF THE, UH, RIGHT OF WAY, IF YOU WILL, OF THE SIDEWALKS.

THAT'S WHY WE ASKED FOR THERE TO BE A 35 FOOT SETBACK AND TO REDUCE THE NEED FOR PEOPLE TO BE PARKING IN THE ROAD.

CODE, INCLUDING SECTIONS 28 DASH 41 THROUGH SECTIONS 28 DASH 62, RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICTS REGARDING THE ZONING SETBACK IN THE LOT SIZE SLASH TYPE REGULATIONS.

OTHERWISE MM-HMM.

, IT'S CUMULATIVE, RIGHT? YES.

UM, SO MY BELIEF IS, IS THAT AS YOU'VE PRESENTED HERE, IT ADDRESSES THAT ISSUE.

YOU'RE, YOU'RE PROVIDING THE CONDITIONS WHICH WOULD ALLOW THEM TO NOT HAVE TO PARK IN THE STREET.

I'M TRYING TO ELIMINATE AS MANY CARS FROM BEING IN THE STREET AND EVEN IF POSSIBLE IN THE, AGAIN, THE RIGHT OF WAY OF THE SIDEWALK EASEMENT.

BUT WE, WE HAVE TO, AS NOTED, TAKE A LOOK AT THERE.

THERE'S PROBLEM AREAS OR PROBLEM STREETS.

GO AND ENFORCE THAT.

NO, I, I AGREE.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT ISSUE.

I'M TALKING ABOUT AS WHAT'S BEING PRESENTED AS TO TODAY.

I'M, THAT ISSUE TO ME IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE ADDRESSED AT A, I'M JUST TALKING ABOUT THIS MOTION HERE.

THE ZONE, THIS CODE OF ORDINANCES, OTIS, I DON'T SEE IN THE ORDINANCE WHERE THE STREET WIDTH IS A IS IN IT.

RIGHT.

THERE'S A, IT'S WITHIN THE ORDINANCE.

UM, WHERE IS IT SPELLED OUT IN THE ORDINANCE? THERE'S THE TABLE OF THE 30 FEET REFERENCED IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

AND IN YOUR PACKET IT WOULD BE, OH, I SEE IT.

I SEE IT.

I THINK I HAD TO KEEP SCROLLING.

THERE WE GO.

YES.

AND YOU ASKED FOR THE SECTION IN AND THE LANGUAGE CURRENTLY ABOUT THE ONE SIDE OF ROAD THAT'S SECTION 25, 180 4 PARKING PROHIBITED ON NARROW STREETS.

AND IT BASICALLY SAYS, CHIEF OF POLICE IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO ERECT SIGNS INDICATING NO PARKING UPON ANY STREETS WHEN THE WIDTH OF THE ROADWAY DOES NOT EXCEED 20 FEET OR UPON ONE SIDE OF, OF STREET.

THAT WAS JUST ONE AREA.

AND SO IT'S NOT THAT YOU'RE NOT ENFORCING, IT'S THAT, AS CHRIS SAID, YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE DETERMINATION THAT IT REQUIRES A SIGN WHICH WILL ENABLE YOU.

AND THEN THERE'S ALSO A PUBLIC PRIVATE CORPORATION CLAUSE IN HERE WHERE, YOU KNOW, 75% , UM, OF THE OWNERS, UM, CAN BE INVOLVED IN, I GUESS THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING I THINK WE JUST NEED TO EVALUATE AND ANALYZE AND PRIORITIZE.

UM, WHICH AREAS? THE CURRENT STREET WIDTH IS 25 RIGHT NOW.

28.

I THOUGHT WE WERE, WE WERE NOT 28.

WE WERE LOWER THAN THAT.

THE VERY FIRST FILE THAT YOU EVER BROUGHT TO US SHOWED US ALL OUR, OUR WIDTH VERSUS THE OTHER CITIES.

AND WE WERE WAY UNDER, UM, I THOUGHT WE AVERAGED 28, IN FACT, THE TABLE I JUST REFERENCED, UM, THAT'S THE TAPE TO GO BACK AND PULL THAT DATA.

BUT WE ALSO HAVE STREETS THAT ARE NOT DEVELOPED TO THE STANDARD.

YEAH.

WE HAVE A LOT OF STREETS THAT ARE NOT EVEN 25 FOOT.

RIGHT.

I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE OF AMENDING THE TEXAS CITY OF ANGLETON CODE OF ORDINANCE ZONING CHAPTER 28 AND CHAPTER 23, LAND DEVELOPMENT

[00:25:01]

SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TOWNSEND, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN ROBERTS.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? OKAY.

CALL FOR THE VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

SO THEY'RE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE.

ALL THOSE OPPOSED NAY.

MOTION CARRIES GOING

[6. Discussion and possible action to approve the selection of a Construction Manager at Risk in response to RFP No. 2023-09 for the preconstruction and construction services for the new King Municipal Operations Center.]

ON A REGULAR AGENDA.

ITEM NUMBER SIX, DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE THE SELECTION OF A CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK IN RESPONSE TO RFP NUMBER 2 0 2 3 DASH ZERO NINE FOR THE PRE-CONSTRUCTION CONSTRUCTION SERVICES FOR THE NEW KING MUNICIPAL OPERATION CENTER.

MAYOR, COUNSEL, UH, MEMBERS, UH, ALS, ID ARCHITECTS, UH, GLAD TO BE HERE TONIGHT.

UM, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE SELECTION COMMITTEE HAS MET, THEY'VE EVALUATED THREE RESPONDENTS.

WE HAD THREE VERY GOOD RESPONDENTS.

UM, IT'S, I WAS NOT A PART OF THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE, UH, BUT IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT TEAL CONSTRUCTION WAS, UH, RECOMMENDED TO COUNCIL.

AM I SAYING THAT CORRECT? I DON'T MEAN TO SPEAK FOR CITY STAFF, BUT THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING.

AND SO, UH, THAT'S, IT'S GRANT VIEWS.

83 OF THE CANDIDATES WOULD'VE BEEN GREAT.

UM, PERSONALLY SPEAKING, PROFESSIONALLY SPEAKING, ID HAS HAD A NUMBER OF PROJECTS WITH TEAL CONSTRUCTION.

UH, THEY'RE A GREAT COMPANY TO WORK WITH.

WE HAVE DONE MANY SIMILAR PROJECTS WITH THEM, UM, IN THE PAST AND STILL WORKING WITH THEM RIGHT NOW.

I DO ALSO HAVE ATTEND MS. JENNIFER KING, SHE'S VICE PRESIDENT WITH FIELD CONSTRUCTION.

SHE IS HERE AND WE ARE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT COUNCIL OR STAFF MAY HAVE.

SO BRENDA, YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT THE TIMELINE OF THE KO? SURE.

HAPPY TO DO SO.

SO WE WERE ENGAGED WITH THE CITY AS ARCHITECTS, UH, SEVERAL MONTHS AGO.

UM, AND THEN, UH, WENT THROUGH A GENERATION PERIOD WITH STAFF AND LEGAL DEPARTMENT ON GENERATING AN RFP, UH, FOR THOSE, UM, CONSTRUCTION MANAGER JUST AT RISK.

THAT TOOK, UH, A WHILE TO GET THROUGH.

UM, WE WERE BASICALLY COMPLETED WITH SCHEMATIC DESIGN OF THE ARCHITECTURAL PORTION, UH, SEVERAL MONTHS BACK.

WE'RE STILL COMPLETED WITH THAT SCHEMATIC DESIGN PHASE.

IT WOULD'VE BEEN A LITTLE BIT RENEGADE FOR US TO MOVE FORWARD, UM, IN THE DESIGN PHASE WITHOUT HAVING THAT CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK AT THE TABLE WITH US.

UH, THAT'S WHY WE WANT THEM THERE SO THEY CAN LOOK OVER OUR SHOULDER, LOOK AT THE DESIGN PROCESS, TELL US THAT WE'RE EITHER IN BUDGET, OUT OF BUDGET, UNDER BUDGET, WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE.

WE TAKE THAT INFORMATION AND MOVE FORWARD.

SO WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK TO HAVE BEEN AWARDED, ENGAGED WITH AND CONTRACTED WITH.

SO WE ARE VERY MUCH SITTING ONGOING WITH A COMPLETED SCHEMATIC DESIGN PHASE.

SOON AS CONTRACTS ARE COMPLETED WITH TEAL CONSTRUCTION, WE WILL EMAIL THEM THAT SCHEMATIC DESIGN PACKAGE.

THEY WILL TAKE TWO, ABOUT THREE WEEKS, UM, TO TAKE THAT SCHEMATIC DESIGN PACKAGE.

THEY WILL START THEIR CONSTRUCTION COST ESTIMATES ON THAT.

THEY WILL DELIVER THAT CONSTRUCTION COST ESTIMATE BACK TO US.

WE'LL SHARE THAT WITH THE CITY.

WE'LL FIGURE OUT ARE WE IN BUDGET? WE UNDER BUDGET, OVER BUDGET.

IF WE'RE CERTAINLY ABOVE BUDGET, YOU KNOW, WE'LL TAKE THAT GUIDANCE.

WE'LL WORK WITH TEAL AS CONSTRUCTION MANAGER RISK, UH, TO FIND OUR WAY BACK INTO BUDGET.

WE'LL PROCEED SO LONG-WINDED STORY.

UM, WE'LL GET THAT FIRST BUDGET ESTIMATE BACK IN ABOUT THREE WEEKS FROM WHENEVER THEY'RE CONTRACTED.

AND THEN WE'LL DO THAT SAME SCENARIO AGAIN AS WE MOVE INTO DESIGN DEVELOPMENT.

WE'LL GET ANOTHER CONSTRUCTION COST ESTIMATE, AND WE'LL PROBABLY DO ANOTHER ONE ABOUT ABOUT MAYBE 90% THROUGH CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS.

AGAIN, NARROWING OUR UNKNOWNS, WE COULD BE READY TO START BREAKING GROUND.

I WOULD SAY, YOU KNOW, SIX MONTHS, UH, WELL BE ABLE TO COMPLETE DESIGN AND START MOVING DIRT, UH, IN ABOUT SIX MONTHS, WOULD YOU SAY ABOUT RIGHT? YES.

SO IT'S A PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD BUILDING.

AGAIN, THERE SHOULDN'T BE THAT MANY UNKNOWNS.

WE FEEL REALLY GOOD.

JENNIFER AND I HAVE WORKED TOGETHER ON A NUMBER OF PROJECTS BEFORE.

THEY'VE DONE A LOT OF PROJECTS HERE IN SOUTHERN MISSOURI COUNTY AND IN SEVERAL PROJECTS HERE IN THE CITY OF ANGLETON AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

AND SO THEY KNOW THE LABOR MARKET, THEY KNOW OUR SOILS, THEY KNOW OUR WINDSTORM COMPLIANCE.

THEY HAVE A GOOD SUBCONTRACTOR BASE.

UM, AND SO IT OUGHT TO STREAMLINE THINGS VERY, VERY WELL.

DID THAT ANSWER THE QUESTION, MR. WHIR? MM-HMM.

AND WHAT ABOUT COST, BRENT? WELL, WHAT ABOUT COST ? UH, I THINK THE, UH, THE INITIAL BUDGET, UH, SET FORTH A WHILE BACK WAS AROUND 4 MILLION, IF I BELIEVE.

THE DESIGN THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW, UM, SHE'S, SHE'S VISITED THE SITE.

, UH, AGAIN, JENNIFER SEEING THE PLANS.

UH, WE VISITED ABOUT IT RECENTLY AS WELL.

AND WE, WE THINK THAT BASED UPON, UH, WHAT WE'RE SEEING RIGHT NOW,

[00:30:01]

SHE'S FAMILIAR WITH THE SITE.

UH, WE, WE FEEL LIKE WE'RE IN A PRETTY GOOD SPOT RIGHT NOW.

WE, THIS SHOULD NOT BE, UH, ANYTHING SIMILAR TO WHAT WE SAW AT FIRE STATION NUMBER THREE, THAT THAT HAD NO ECONOMIES OF SCALE.

WE HAD VERY LITTLE SUBCONTRACTOR PARTICIPATION, VERY LITTLE GENERAL CONTRACTOR PRECIPITATION PARTICIPATION.

SO WE FEEL LIKE WE'VE GOT BETTER ECONOMIES OF SCALE HERE.

THIS IS GONNA ATTRACT A LOT MORE SUBCONTRACTOR PARTICIPATION, MORE VENDOR PARTICIPATION.

SO OUR COSTING, UH, WHEN I COME CLOSE TO, YOU KNOW, THE ENORMOUS NUMBER THAT WE HAD ON FIRE STATION NUMBER THREE.

SO RIGHT NOW WE FEEL LIKE WE'RE IN A PRETTY SPOT.

THAT ANSWERED MY QUESTION.

DOES THIS INCLUDE THE COST OF THE DEMOLITION? WELL, WHAT, WELL, LEMME MAKE SURE I'M UNDERSTANDING THE QUESTION HERE.

WHAT Y'ALL ARE CONSIDERING TONIGHT IS THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE SELECTION COMMITTEE TO, UH, AWARD THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER A RISK.

TO T CONSTRUCTION.

THAT'S JUST YOUR PRE-CONSTRUCTION SERVICES FEE.

UH, YOUR PRE PRE-CONSTRUCTION SERVICES FEE.

AND THEN THEY'RE FORECASTING WHAT THEIR GENERAL CONSTRUCTION PHASE, THAT THAT GENERAL CONSTRUCTION PHASE IS STILL BEING DEFINED.

UH, THE WAY I UNDERSTAND THAT THE CITY WAS GOING TO DEMOLISH A, THE FIRST THIRD OF THAT BUILDING, UM, ON A SEPARATE TICKET, SEPARATE CONTRACT.

UH, DO THAT WORK YOURSELVES.

UH, THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN SO THAT THEN THE CONTRACTOR CAN THEN COME IN AND WORK AROUND THE SITE.

SO, UM, I DO NOT ACTUALLY REMEMBER IF THE DEMOLITION OF THE REMAINING PORTION WAS GONNA BE IN THEIR SCOPE OF WORK.

NO.

SO I, WELL, SO, OR NOT, WE'RE GONNA TAKE CARE OF THAT FRONT HALF OF THE BUILDING.

WE'VE HAD SOME ISSUES WITH, UH, REMOVAL GAS LINES.

WE FOUND SOME GOOD AC UNITS ON THE TOP THAT WE'RE TRANSFERRING OVER TO ANIMAL CONTROL.

SO I GOTTA SEE WHERE WE'RE AT ON THAT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR TO GET THE DEMOLITION IN THERE.

AND SO THAT'LL TAKE DOWN THE ADMIN PORTION OF THAT BUILDING, LEAVING THE, THE BAYS THERE UNTIL THE CONSTRUCTION IS DONE.

AND THEN THOSE BAYS WILL COME DOWN.

THAT, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, AND I'LL, IF I CAN SPEAK FOR THE PROCESS, UH, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN BE LOOKED AT.

UH, THAT'S THE BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT HAVING A CONTRACTOR SIT AT THE DESIGN TABLE WITH US, IS THEY CAN FIGURE OUT WHERE WE ARE ON OUR PRIORITIES.

THE PRIORITY NUMBER ONE IS BUILD THE KO CENTER.

UH, SECONDARY PRIORITY AFTER THAT WOULD BE TO POTENTIALLY DEMOLISH THE EXISTING SERVICE CENTER.

UM, THEY COULD START THE, START THE COST, THE COST FOR THE FRONT HALF IS ONLY LIKE $27,000, SO, RIGHT.

I DON'T, I DON'T FORESEE THAT OTHER HALF BEING VERY MUCH MORE THAN THAT.

WHO WERE THE EVALUATORS? I, I DON'T KNOW THAT ANSWER.

ARE YOU ASKING FOR NAMES OR? WE HAD, UH, TWO COUNCILMEN.

WE HAD COUNCILMAN BOOTH AND COUNCILMAN ROBERTS, MYSELF, UH, MEGAN MAYNER AND JASON CRUZ.

AND HECTOR.

HECTOR.

I DIDN'T GET, I DIDN'T GET THE, YOU SHOW.

I SAW YOU COME INTO THE ROOM.

I FIGURED YOU FILLED OUT ONE FOUR.

I DIDN'T MAKE IT IN TIME.

I DIDN'T REVIEW EVERYTHING.

COUNCIL DRIVE ACTION.

I ALSO HAD IT UP IN FRONT OF YOUR, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE, UH, TILL AS THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK FOR THE KMO.

SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN ROBERTS, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN BOOTH FOR APPROVAL.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? CALL FOR THE VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SECONDED BY SAYING AYE.

ALL THOSE OPPOSED, SAME SIGN.

MOTION CARRIES.

THANK ALL ALL LOOK FORWARD TO IT.

CAN WE, CAN WE HAVE A COUPLE MORE COMMENTS HERE? YEAH, GO FOR IT.

DESIGN PACKAGE, LIKE I SAID, ABOUT THREE WEEKS, UM, AFTER THEY'RE UNDER CONTRACT.

NOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT Y'ALL, YOU'VE BEEN AWARDED THE CONTRACT, , I'M NOT HOLDING YOU TO THIS, BUT WHAT KINDA LITTLE, LITTLE, SOME TIMELINE WE MAY BE LOOKING AT NOW, BUT NOW THAT WE, NOW THAT WE WE'RE AT THE STARTING LINE, WE CAN MOVE FORWARD.

WELL, WHAT I AM UNSURE OF, AND MAYBE JENNIFER CAN SPEAK TO THE CONTRACTUAL TIMELINE TO WRAP UP A CONTRACT BETWEEN THE TWO ENTITIES.

I SAID WE'RE SITTING ON GO, I CAN, I CAN HIT SEND TOMORROW MORNING AND GET THEM DRAWINGS.

YES, SIR.

OF OUR SCHEMATIC

[00:35:01]

UH, AND AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT, WHAT TIMELINE THAT'LL TAKE.

AND WE'LL START LOOKING AT STUFF NOW, LIKE BRENT SAID, WE'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK WITH HIM.

I'M DOING THREE OR FOUR PROJECTS WITH BRENT RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE ALSO BUILDING SOMETHING SIMILAR TO, UM, Y'ALL'S FACILITY DOWN ON TWO 20 AND OLD ANGLETON ROAD.

UH, THE NEW MUSTANG CAT FACILITY.

UH, SO WE'RE DOING THAT RIGHT NOW, UH, WHICH IS A PRE-ENGINEERED METAL BUILDING.

AND SO, UM, WE CAN START LOOKING AT IT NOW.

IT'S JUST WITH HOLIDAYS AND WHATNOT.

UM, IT WILL BE A JANUARY TIMEFRAME THAT YOU'LL GET THE FIRST ESTIMATE.

AND WE WANT THE FIRST ESTIMATE HAS ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING 'CAUSE ITS PLANS ARE, ARE NOT GONNA HAVE EVERYTHING IN IT, BUT IT'S GONNA BE OUR KNOWLEDGE TO PUT EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN IN IT SO THAT WE BUILD IT BIG AND THEN DOWN AS WE GET MORE DETAILED IN IT, IN, IN THE DRAWINGS AND WITH THE DIFFERENT PHASES.

SO WE MAKE SURE THAT THERE AREN'T SURPRISES AT THE END, UM, OF THE DAY.

AND OUR INITIAL PLANS WON'T HAVE EVERYTHING IN IT.

THAT'S WHAT, YEAH.

THE INITIAL PLAN, THE SD PLANS THAT HE IS GIVING ME, THE FINAL PLANS WILL, YES, THE FINAL PLANS WILL.

SO THE SSD WILL HAVE EVERYTHING IN IT, BUT OUR EXPERTISE HERE AND WITH THIS TYPE OF FACILITY, UM, WILL BE ABLE TO PUT TOGETHER, UH, A GREAT ESTIMATE FOR Y'ALL.

SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

SO AGAIN, LOOKING PAST THAT, SO AGAIN, THREE WEEKS TO, TO GET THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN PACKAGE BACK, THEN WE WILL RUSH YOU INTO DESIGN DEVELOPMENT.

THE NEXT DESIGN PHASE, AGAIN, THERE'S THREE PHASES OF DESIGN, SCHEMATIC DESIGN, DESIGN DEVELOPMENT, CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS.

SO THAT DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PHASE WILL PROBABLY TAKE US MAYBE ABOUT A MONTH, MAYBE SIX WEEKS, UH, TO FINALIZE THAT PHASE.

THEN WE'LL GIVE THAT BACK TO TEAL.

THEY'LL TAKE PROBABLY ANOTHER TWO OR THREE WEEKS TO REACH OUT TO THEIR SUBS, MAJOR VENDORS, MAJOR SUPPLIERS, GETTING MORE COSTS, ESTIMATING DONE, MORE PRECISE.

WE'LL GET THAT INFORMATION BACK, UH, REVIEW IT WITH OFFICE OF THE CITY, MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE STILL IN BUDGET IF WE'RE OVER BUDGET, WHERE TO CUT IF WE'RE UNDER BUDGET, YOU KNOW WHERE TO EITHER STICK AT THAT OR, YOU KNOW, MAYBE ADD SOMETHING.

UM, BUT THEN THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENT PHASE, MAYBE TWO MONTHS ON THAT.

SO I REALLY THINK SIX MONTHS FROM NOW, WE SHOULD HAVE THE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE THAT THEY PUT IN FRONT OF YOU.

AND, AND DURING THAT TIME, WE ALSO, YOU HAD BROUGHT UP THE DEMOLITION AND HOW WE'RE GONNA DO THAT DURING THAT TIME.

WE'LL DO LOGISTICS PLANS WITH Y'ALL, UM, TO SEE THE BEST WAY TO MOVE AROUND THE SITE.

'CAUSE WE KNOW THAT IT HAS TO BE OCCUPIED.

SOMETHING VERY NORMAL FOR US TO DO.

WE DO A LOT OF DEALERSHIPS, THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT HAVE TO STAY OCCUPIED, MUSTANGS OCCUPIED RIGHT NOW.

AND SO WE WORK AROUND YOUR VENDORS OR YOUR STAFF AND EVERYBODY TO MAKE SURE ONE, IT'S SAFE.

AND TWO, WE DON'T INTERRUPT YOUR, UH, ONGOING OPERATION.

AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'LL WORK WITH.

AND THERE'S MULTIPLE PROJECTS THAT WE CAN DIVIDE IT OUT SO THAT IT'S AN EASY, THIS IS WHAT THE DEMOLITION, THIS IS WHAT THE NEW CONSTRUCTION IS.

SO WE'LL WORK WITH Y'ALL ON THAT.

DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION ON A REQUEST TO APPROVE THE FINAL PLATFORM.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE I MOVE ON? ALL RIGHT.

SEE YOU HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

THANK Y'ALL.

THANK YOU FOR COMING.

ITEM NUMBER SEVEN,

[7. Discussion and possible action on a request to approve the Final Plat for Mulberry Fields Subdivision, for 41 Single Family lots, 2 reserves, 3 blocks on 13.0044 acres, located on SH 35 and N. Walker St., East of Heritage Ln./Murray Ranch Rd.]

MULBERRY FIELD SUBDIVISION FOR 41 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS, TWO RESERVES, THREE BLOCKS ON 13.0044 ACRES LOCATED ON SOUTH HIGHWAY 35 AND NORTH WALKER STREET, EAST OF HERITAGE LANE AT MURRAY RANCH ROAD.

THANK YOU MA'AM.

COUNSEL, THIS IS A FINAL PLATT MULBERRY FIELD SUBDIVISION.

AS YOU KNOW, 41 LOTS LOCATED ON UM, S UM, STATE HIGHWAY 35 NEAR WALKER STREET.

UM, THE FINAL PLATT, UM, BEING THREE BLOCKS ON 13.0044 ACRES.

UM, THE PLATT WENT BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION IN THEIR LAST MEETING AND THEY VOTED UNANIMOUSLY, FOUR TO ZERO OF THOSE MEMBERS PRESENT TO APPROVE THE, UM, FINAL PLATT SUBJECT TO, OF COURSE, FINAL ENGINEERING SIGN OFF AND ALSO THE REFERRAL AGENCY APPROVALS.

UM, THERE WERE SOME COMMENTS THAT WERE OUTSTANDING PRIOR TO THAT MEETING AND THEY WERE CLEARED BY THE APPLICANT, UM, WITH LETTER ATTACHED BY THE, UM, CITY ENGINEER.

UM, PREVIOUSLY, AS YOU KNOW, THE PRELIMINARY PLAN PLAT WENT BEFORE YOU IN JANUARY OF 2022 WITH, UM, APPROVED VARIANCE.

UM, REGARDING I THINK A FEW LOTS THAT DIDN'T MEET THE LOT DEPTH REQUIREMENTS.

SO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT HAS BEEN APPROVED AS OF SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR.

AND THE DEVELOPER HERE, COREY BORIA, IS UM, PRESENT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, HE'S READY TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION BEING THAT THOSE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS ARE, UM, WAITING TO BE IMPLEMENTED.

UM, SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER THOSE.

RECOMMENDATION IS FOR APPROVAL.

[00:40:01]

COUNSEL QUESTIONS, MR. BOY, WHAT'S YOUR SETBACK FROM YOUR PROPERTY LINES? SO OUR BUILD LINES ARE, UM, WHAT THEY WERE BEFORE.

THAT'S WHAT'S IN OUR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

SO BUILD LINES 20 SETBACKS ARE FIVE.

UM, YOU KNOW, AS I'VE EXPRESSED IN PRIOR MEETINGS, WE INTEND ON BUILDING ON, UH, THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY IF NOT ALL OF THESE, UH, LOTS.

THERE'S, WE'RE NOT , WE'RE NOT TRYING TO CROWD THE CORNERS AND DO EVERYTHING ELSE WITH THE 60 FOOTERS.

YEAH, WE'RE, WE'LL HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM ALL THE WAY AROUND.

COUNSEL, ANY, UH, ACTION? ANY MORE QUESTIONS? I DON'T, I DON'T SEE A, A PROBLEM NECESSARILY, BUT THE LOTS THAT ARE ON THE FAR WEST SIDE THAT, THAT ARE JOINED, WHAT WE USED, WE USED TO CALL MURRAY RANCH ROAD, .

IS THERE ANY RESTRICTION TO KEEP 'EM FROM CROSSING OVER THEIR BACK PROPERTY LINE AND GETTING ON THAT, ON THAT DRIVEWAY TO GET OUT? I BELIEVE THAT'S PRIVATE DRIVE.

SO THAT WOULD BE JUST LIKE SOMEBODY TRESPASSING ONTO SOMEBODY ELSE'S LAND.

SO IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE A PRIVATE, WELL, I, IT, IT AT ONE TIME WAS A PLATTED PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY WITH HERITAGE JOKES PLAT NUMBER ONE.

AND, AND I, I DON'T KNOW THE HISTORY.

IT COULD STILL BE A PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY.

UH, SORRY, MY APOLOGIES.

BUT IF IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WOULD'VE BEEN PUBLIC, WE WERE PLANNING ON USING IT AS A SECOND POINT OF EGRESS AS OPPOSED TO A WALKER.

UM, BUT WE WEREN'T ALLOWED TO.

COUNSEL, WHERE MAY I MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE, UH, THE FINAL PLATTER, MULBERRY FIELDS SUBDIVISIONS AS PRESENTED HERE? I'LL SECOND THAT.

I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN BOOTH.

SECOND BY COUNCILMAN SARTON.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE.

YEAH.

OH, GO AHEAD.

NO, UH, UM, IN LIGHT OF OUR VOTE EARLIER TONIGHT, I, UH, I'M NOT GONNA OBJECT TO THIS.

UH, I, I REGRET MY DECISION BACK THEN.

UM, NOT THINKING INTO THE FUTURE, SPECIFICALLY REGARDING THE PROPERTY LINE, UH, THE BUILD BACK SETBACKS.

UM, ANYWAY, THAT, YOU KNOW, IT IS WHAT IT IS.

THAT WATER DRAWN THE BRIDGE, YOU'VE GOT A GOOD TIME CAME IN RIGHT BEFORE CHANGES WERE MADE.

UM, SO, BUT I DO REGRET IT 'CAUSE I THINK THEY'LL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS IN THE REST OF THE CITY, UM, WITH 20 FOOT LOTS OR 20 FOOT DRIVEWAYS.

SO WELL AT LEAST THESE WILL BE 60 FOOT LOTS.

SURE, THE DENSITY MAY HELP A LITTLE BIT, BUT IT'S, IT DOESN'T LEAVE MUCH ROOM FOR PARKING IN THE DRIVEWAYS AND OFF THE STREETS.

ANYBODY ELSE CALL FOR THE VOTE? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFIED BY SAYING AYE.

MOTION CARRIES YOU, MR. BOYER.

ALL THOSE OPPOSED, SAME SIGN.
