[9. Discussion and possible action to replace existing water and sanitary sewer utilities along the TxDOT Transportation Alternatives Downtown Sidewalk Improvement area on State Highway 288B.]

DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION TO REPLACE EXISTING WATER AND SANITARY SEWER UTILITIES ALONG THE TEX-DOT TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVES.

DOWNTOWN SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT AREA ON STATE HIGHWAY 28 B.

MR. PETERSON. GOOD EVENING.

COUNCIL. THE CITY OF ANGLETON HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN BEING SELECTED FOR A TA GRANT FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO THE DOWNTOWN AREA ALONG 288 B FROM, CEDAR STREET ALL THE WAY DOWN TO ORANGE.

I'M GONNA TAKE THIS OFF AND WALK OVER HERE WHERE I CAN JUST POINT, IF Y'ALL DON'T MIND.

SO AS PART OF THE PROJECT, WE WANTED TO TAKE AN ACTIVE APPROACH AND LOOKING AT WHAT THE CITY COULD POTENTIALLY DO IN PREP

[00:20:05]

IN PREPARATION FOR THIS PROJECT.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE NOTICED WAS, IS THE EXISTING WATER LINE THAT RUNS ALONG 288 B IN THIS AREA, RUNS UNDERNEATH THE NORTHBOUND PAVEMENT. IT'S ACTUALLY IN THE PAVEMENT.

THAT WAS JUST THE WAY THAT IT WAS DONE BACK IN THE DAY.

IT'S LIMITED RIGHT OF WAY.

THE STORE FRONTS ARE ALL PUSHED UP RIGHT TO THE EDGE OF THE RIGHT OF WAY.

AND THAT'S WHERE THEY THEY ACTUALLY LOCATED IT.

THE LINE IS AN OLD LINE.

IT'S A CAST IRON FOUR INCH LINE THAT HAS LEAD JOINTS IN IT.

THE WAY IT WAS JUST DONE BACK THEN.

OTHER THINGS THAT WE HAVE GOING ON IS WE HAVE SEVERAL LOCATIONS WHERE THE SANITARY SEWER CROSSES.

288 BE THE SANITARY SEWER IS MADE OF ACTUALLY CEMENT.

AND THAT'S WHAT WAS USED BACK THEN.

AND IT HAS A LIFE EXPECTANCY OF ANYWHERE BETWEEN 50 TO 60 YEARS.

AND THAT THAT IS ACTUALLY BEEN SURPASSED IN THIS AREA.

SO THERE'S PROBABLY A LOT OF DETERIORATION GOING ON.

SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, COUNCIL ASKED US TO KIND OF LOOK AT MAYBE DOING SOME KIND OF IMPROVEMENTS IN HERE FOR PREPARATION FOR THE NEW, IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE DONE.

AND SO WE HAD A MEETING WITH TEX DOT, AND WE TALKED ABOUT REPLACING THE EXISTING WATER LINE AND KIND IN THE SAME PLACE, BUT UPSIZING THE LINE TO KEEP THE SYSTEM LOOPED, KEEP THE WATER QUALITY IN THE AREA, THE FIRE FLOW AND THE PRESSURE IN THE AREA.

WHEN WE WERE DISCUSSING THIS WITH TXDOT, TXDOT HAD TOLD US THAT THEY DON'T ALLOW, THE WATER LINE TO BE INSTALLED UNDERNEATH THEIR PAVING ANYMORE, THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MOVE IT OUT FROM THE PAVING.

SO WE WENT BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AND WE TOOK A LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE FIXING TO TAKE THIS LOOP SYSTEM OUT OF LINE, OUT OF, OFFLINE, OUT OF SERVICE. AND WHAT'S THAT GOING TO DO TO THE FIRE PROTECTION AND FLOW OVER HERE IN THIS AREA? SO WE STARTED DOING WAS IDENTIFYING WAYS OF OF ATTACKING THAT, BY LOOPING THE SYSTEM AND CROSSING THE ACTUAL 288 B CORRIDOR PERPENDICULARLY INSTEAD OF RUNNING IT PARALLEL OR UNDERNEATH THE PAVING.

SO FOR EXAMPLE, EXAMPLE HERE ON CEDAR STREET WE HAVE A NICE EIGHT INCH LINE THAT'S IT'S NEW IS MAKING A CONNECTION INTO IT AT CEDAR AND SHENANGO AND BRINGING IT ON ACROSS AND CROSSING OVER AND HOOKING BACK INTO A NEW WATER LINE THAT WAS INSTALLED BY THE COUNTY FOR THE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER.

SO BY DOING THAT, WE'LL BE ABLE TO KEEP THE SYSTEM LOOPED.

WE'RE GOING TO IMPROVE WATER QUALITY, AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE GOOD FIRE FLOW FIRE PROTECTION.

NOW, THE PROBLEM THAT WHEN WE START LOOPING THESE LINES AND IT'S VERY SIMILAR ALL THE WAY DOWN IS THESE WATER METERS, THESE LITTLE BLUE BOXES.

THOSE USED TO JUST RUN ACROSS AND TIE INTO THAT LINE.

THAT LINE WILL BE ABANDONED.

SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO READJUST THOSE SERVICE LINES AND RUN THEM TO THE NEW WATER LINES, WHICH IS GOING TO TAKE SOME EFFORT.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, WE WENT AND IDENTIFIED THE EASIEST WAYS.

FOR INSTANCE, THIS WATER LINE WILL BRING IT NORTH TO THE NEW LINE WHEN WE PUT IT IN.

THESE TWO HERE WOULD BE SO MUCH EASIER JUST TO BRING THEM TO THE SOUTH.

JUST ON. JUST SIMPLE.

MEASUREMENTS AND DISTANCES.

SO THIS GOES ON ALL THE WAY DOWN THE PROJECT.

IF YOU WANT, YOU CAN SEE WE'VE DONE QUITE A BIT OF DESIGN ON IT.

WE'VE KIND OF LAID IT OUT HOW IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE, HOW WE'RE GOING TO DO IT.

ONCE WE HAD THIS DONE EARLIER THIS WEEK, WE MET WITH TEX DOT AGAIN, AND TEX DOT DID NOT HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING.

THEY KIND OF LIKED IT.

HOWEVER, THERE IS A TIME LIMIT ON THIS.

TEXAS HAS TO SPEND THAT MONEY THAT'S BEEN PART OF THAT TO GRANT BY A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME, AND THEY CAN PUSH IT BACK BY A YEAR.

SO BUT THAT'S AS FAR BACK AS THEY CAN PUSH.

SO IF, IF THE CITY ELECTS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO IT IN AN EXPEDITED MANNER, TO, TO MOVE FORWARD.

NOW, ANOTHER THING THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY DOING RIGHT NOW IS WE'VE GOT, WE'RE CURRENTLY COORDINATING WITH THE TELEVISION CCTV CREW TO START TELEVISING THESE LINES THROUGH HERE ON THE SANITARY SEWER.

OUR FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, WHENEVER THE DRAINAGE WAS PUT IN TO 88 B IN THE LATE 90S, EARLY 2000, THEY HAD CONFLICTS WITH THE SANITARY SEWER.

SANITARY SEWER. YOU CAN'T BEND.

IT HAS TO STAY ON GRADE.

IT HAS TO BE LAID FROM HIGH TO LOW.

SO WHEN THEY DID THAT, THEY ACTUALLY CAME IN AND PUT CASING AND RAN THAT LINE THROUGH THERE.

SO WE DON'T KNOW IF THEY REPLACED THAT SANITARY SEWER LINE JUST FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE CASING, THE OUTSIDE CASING JUST RIGHT THERE ON THE STORM SEWER.

OR DO THEY GO FROM RIGHT OF WAY TO RIGHT OF WAY?

[00:25:01]

SO WE'RE HOPING TO DO IS TWO THINGS WHEN WE TV IT.

ONE IS FIND OUT THAT WHAT SECTION THEY HAVE DONE IS IS IT PVC AND HOW FAR IF IT'S RIGHT AWAY TO RIGHT AWAY, THIS IS A MOOT POINT.

WE CAN MOVE FORWARD AND TAKE THAT OFF.

THAT COST OFF.

IF IT IS CONCRETE AND ONLY JUST A SMALL SECTION HAS BEEN DONE, THEN WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT, WE CAN'T PIPE BURST IT BECAUSE THE THE ACTUAL PIPE IS THROUGH A CASING, SO THE HEAD WOULD GET STUCK.

SO YOUR ONLY OPTIONS IS EITHER MAKING AN OPEN CUT TRENCH ACROSS IT AND REMOVE AND REPLACE IT IN PLACE, OR WE CAN DO CURED IN PLACE PIPE, WHICH IS BASICALLY A FELT RESIN BAG THAT'S BEEN IMPREGNATED WITH A RESIN.

AND THEY'LL BLOW THROUGH THAT PIPE AND THEN FORCE AIR INTO IT AND WATER INTO IT AND BLOW IT OUT, THAT THAT BAG WILL THEN PRESS AGAINST THE HOST PIPE.

AND THEN THEY'LL HEAT IT UP AND THEY'LL COOK IT, AND YOU'LL HAVE A BRAND NEW PVC PIPE, BASICALLY WITH NO JOINTS.

SO THAT'LL BE GOOD FOR THE NEXT HUNDRED YEARS OR SO.

SO AND IT'S A LOT BETTER BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE JOINTS, SO YOU WON'T HAVE PLACES OF FAILURE, THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

BUT IN ORDER TO DO THAT, I'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE THERE'S STILL PIPE THERE.

RIGHT? SANITARY SEWER PIPE.

IF IT'S UNDER THE FLOW OF WATER.

AND TYPICALLY THOSE PIPES ONLY FLOW BETWEEN A QUARTER TO HALF OXYGEN.

CAN'T GET TO IT.

BUT LOCATIONS ABOVE THAT WERE OXYGEN GET TO IT.

IT CREATES AN ACID AND THE ACID STARTS EATING THE PIPE.

AS ALL OF THOSE PIPES ARE, YOU KNOW, THERE COULD BE SOME SIGNIFICANT DAMAGES OR I'VE EVEN SEEN WHERE PIPE TOPS OF PIPES ARE MISSING.

SO WE'RE GOING TO CHECK TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PIPE IS STILL THERE.

IF IT IS, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE STRUCTURALLY SECURED, JUST THE SHAPE.

AND WE CAN BAG IT AND WE CAN DO THAT.

THAT'LL BE FASTER, THAT'LL BE CHEAPER, AND WE DON'T HAVE TO DO ALL THE TRAFFIC CONTROL.

IT'D BE A MUCH SIMPLER SOLUTION.

SO LIKE I SAID, I CAN GO THROUGH EACH INTERSECTION IF Y'ALL WOULD LIKE OR Y'ALL HAVE SEEN IT AND Y'ALL, Y'ALL HAVE BEEN THROUGH IT.

IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE IS THE THE ESTIMATED, THE OK.

SO YOU CAN FOCUS IN HERE ON THE BOTTOM.

SO TO DO THAT THE BOTTOM LINE IS, IS BASICALLY TO DO THIS IS ALMOST $900,000 TO RUN THOSE WATER LINES MAKE THOSE CONNECTIONS.

ABANDONING THOSE EXISTING LINES CAPPING THEM AND DOING SANITARY SEWER REHABILITATION.

NOW, THE OPTIONS THAT'S AVAILABLE TO THE CITY IS ONE IS, YOU KNOW, HEY, THE SYSTEM IS WORKING RIGHT NOW.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES RIGHT NOW.

WE'LL ADDRESS THEM AS THEY COME AND AND NOT DO ANYTHING TO IT.

AND WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE TO GRANT.

THE OTHER OPTION IS.

MOVE FORWARD WITH WHAT WE'RE SHOWING.

I COULD POTENTIALLY DO SOME SOME OTHER THINGS UP FRONT, LIKE RUN SOME OF THOSE SERVICE LINES TO EXPEDITE THE PROJECT TO WHERE WE'RE NOT IMPACTING THE SCHEDULE AS MUCH. AND THEN WE'LL GO AHEAD AND DO THEM IN SEVERAL PACKAGES AND TWO PACKAGES.

BUT THAT'S THE THE GIST OF WHAT WE HAVE IN THE, IN THE OPTIONS AVAILABLE AND WHY WE'RE LOOKING AT IT.

AND SO I JUST NEED TO KNOW HOW YOU WOULD LIKE TO PROCEED FORWARD.

HOW WHAT ALL DO YOU WANT TO DO? DO YOU WANT TO DO THE SEWER? DO YOU WANT TO DO JUST THE WATER? DO YOU WANT TO DO JUST SEWER? WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO? ANOTHER THING THAT'S THAT WOULD BE GOOD FOR THAT IS AGAIN WITH TCU WITH THE LEAD AND COPPER RULE REGULATIONS THAT ARE COMING OUT, WE'LL BE TAKING OUT SOME OF THOSE JOINTS THAT DO HAVE SOME SOME CONTACT WITH LEAD JOINTS.

SO THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER BENEFIT TO THIS PROJECT.

THESE HERE JUST TO REFRESH MY MEMORY, THESE ITEMS WERE THE ONES THAT YOU IDENTIFIED AS BASICALLY THE BARE MINIMUM THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE ON THIS PROJECT, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE, WHICH WAS THE ONE AROUND THE NEW CENTER JUST NORTH OF THE ANNEX.

CORRECT. THAT WAS THE ONLY THAT WAS KIND OF THE ONLY ADDER THAT WE PUT ON THERE.

THAT WAS A NICE TO DO. RIGHT? RIGHT. IT WAS A VERY NICE TO DO.

IF WE DO THAT, THAT THAT WOULD REALLY HELP YOUR YOUR FIRE FLOW PROTECTION AND JUST WATER QUALITY IN GENERAL RIGHT THERE IN THAT AREA.

I'LL BE BACK. YOU HAVE GOT DISNEY.

THAT'S MY CUE.

JUST SO YOU KNOW, I'M AT 630.

I'M GOING TO STEP AWAY.

MAYOR PRO TEM TRAVIS IS GOING TO TAKE OVER, AND I WILL BE BACK A LITTLE AFTER 730.

ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? WELL, THIS IS THIS IS SOME OF THE COST.

YOU HAVEN'T GOT PROFESSIONAL FEES INCLUDED IN THESE COST EITHER.

[00:30:02]

THAT'S CORRECT. THIS IS JUST CONSTRUCTION COSTS.

WE'LL NEED, SURVEYING COST TO DETERMINE EXISTING CONDITIONS.

AND IN THE DESIGN, THE DESIGN THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION COST PHASES.

YES, SIR. TOTAL PROJECT.

WE'RE. CERTAINLY YOU DON'T.

YOU'D HAVE TO HIP SHOOT THAT.

BUT IN ADDITION TO THE $885,000 YOU'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT, YOU'RE GOING TO BE CROWDING $1 MILLION ON ON THIS PROJECT.

YOU CAN SAY PROBABLY ANYWHERE BETWEEN 20 TO 25% FOR ALL THOSE SERVICES.

YEAH.

SO PROBABLY A LITTLE.

A LITTLE OVER 1.1 TO 1.5 SOMEWHERE IN THERE.

BY THE TIME WE GET ALL THE SUBS AND EVERYTHING REQUIRED.

SO QUESTION ALWAYS GETS ASKED COME FROM TO COVER.

SO THE GOOD NEWS IS, DEPENDING ON TIMING OF THE PROJECT, WE CAN FUND THIS WITHIN OUR CURRENT WATER SEWER BUDGET. BARRING ANY, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DROUGHT IS GOING TO BE LIKE THIS SUMMER.

AND, MOST LIKELY WE'LL HAVE TO DO A BUDGET AMENDMENT AT SOME POINT TO COVER ALL THEIR EMERGENCIES, THAT ARE GOING TO COME.

BUT GENERALLY WE CAN FUND IT.

AND WE'VE GOT AND I'M NOT GOING TO QUOTE THE FINANCE DIRECTOR, WE HAVE ABOUT $5 MILLION IN FUND BALANCE.

AND SO WE HAVE SUFFICIENT RESERVES TO COVER ANY OVERAGES.

ON THIS PROJECT.

REALLY, WHAT IT MEANS IS WE, TARGETED SOME OTHER WATERLINE REPLACEMENTS AND SEWER LINE ISSUES.

WE'LL JUST HAVE TO POSTPONE THOSE FOR ANOTHER FISCAL YEAR.

MY INTENT FOR, BUDGET THIS YEAR IS NOT TO ASK FOR A WATER RATE INCREASE, OTHER THAN WHAT BUE, PUSHES ON US.

BUT SO THE SHORTER ANSWER I'LL GET BACK TO THAT IS WE WE CAN GENERALLY COVER THE COST OF THIS PROJECT.

BUT AS JOHN SAID, WE'VE GOT THE LEAD AND COPPER ISSUES THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH WITH THE EPA.

SO IF WE PUSH IT OFF, ALL WE'RE DOING IS DELAYING STUFF BY TWO YEARS, AND THEN WE'VE GOT TO DO IT WITH BRAND NEW SIDEWALKS AND ROADS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

THE, THE LEAD AND COPPER ARE THOSE UNFUNDED MANDATES OR.

THEY ARE. SO GENERALLY, YES.

BUT THERE ARE SOME FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD.

THAT'S WHY WE DID THE INVENTORY.

AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO APPLY FOR FUNDING.

BUT WITHIN THE IN THE TIMELINE OF WHEN WE NEED TO GET THIS DONE, IF WE APPLIED BY THE MARCH DEADLINE, WE WOULDN'T GET NOTIFIED UNTIL OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER, POTENTIALLY, OF THIS YEAR, WHICH WOULD PUSH THIS PROJECT TO A TWO PLUS YEAR PROJECT WHICH TAKES OUT IT'S NOT GOING TO LET US DO.

AND SO I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR.

WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF BUCKETS TO PULL THE FUNDING FROM.

YES. OKAY.

AND IF WE WERE TO EXPAND ALL OF OUR FROM WATER INFRASTRUCTURE, WE HAVE ENOUGH TO COVER IN OUR FUND BALANCE.

YES. OKAY.

I MEAN, I CAN JUST TELL YOU, THE LAST TWO SUMMERS WE SPENT, 600,000 $700,000 IN REPAIRING EMERGENCY REPAIRS OF WATER LINES.

LAST YEAR, WE HAD A SEWER LINE ISSUE FOR $275,000.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER BUDGET.

AND THIS IS A PAIN.

BUT IN A WAY, IT'S KIND OF, AGAIN, SAVING US FROM GOING BACK TO YEARS FROM NOW AND REMEDIATING THE LEAD AND COPPER ISSUES WITH BRAND NEW SIDEWALKS AND STREETS AND HAVING THE PUBLIC WONDER WHY WE DIDN'T TAKE CARE OF THIS.

IT PROBABLY A GREATER EXPENSE.

RIGHT. SO I'M GOING TO RISE.

YES. SO, JOHN, THIS TEXT OUGHT TO HAVE BUILT ON THE RECORD DRAWINGS AND WHAT THEY DID THROUGH TOWN.

OR IS IT JUST I HAVE A SET OF THEM.

I'M GOING TO REQUEST SOME MORE INFORMATION.

WE HAD A MEETING WITH THEM YESTERDAY, AND THEY SAID THEY MAY HAVE SOMETHING MORE THAN WHAT WHAT THE RECORD DRAWINGS THAT I HAVE THAT WOULD INDICATE WHAT IT IS.

BUT WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE CURRENTLY SCHEDULING THOSE TV, THOSE LINES.

WE'RE GOING TO TV, THOSE LINES.

THAT'LL PROBABLY HAPPEN WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO.

AND THAT'S GOING TO TELL ME A LOT MORE THAN WHAT THOSE ADS, BECAUSE WE'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THE MATERIAL WHEN IT GOES THROUGH THE CURED IN PLACE.

[00:35:06]

PLASTIC PIPE IS PROBABLY ABOUT THE ONLY FEASIBLE WAY TO DO THIS WITHOUT JUST TOTALLY DISRUPTING DOWNTOWN TRAFFIC FLOW.

100% AGREE. I MEAN, YOU'RE GOING TO SPEND A HORRENDOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY ON TRAFFIC CONTROL IF YOU HAVE TO DIG UP A HIGHWAY.

IT'S NOT JUST VELASCO STREET, IT'S A HIGHWAY.

AND TXDOT IS GOING TO MAKE US DO CERTAIN THINGS AND THEY WON'T BACK OFF.

CORRECT. EVEN WITH THE CURED IN PLACE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PERMIT GO.

THEY'RE GOING TO REQUIRE. THAT WAS ONE OF MY QUESTIONS YESTERDAY, IS IF WE SET OUTSIDE THE RIGHT OF WAY HERE, AND WE SET OUTSIDE OF YOUR RIGHT OF WAY HERE AND BLOW THAT BAG THROUGH, AND THERE'S NO DISRUPTION.

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WE'RE THERE.

THEY STILL WANT IT TO BE PERMITTED, AND THEY STILL WANT SOME SORT OF TRAFFIC CONTROL AND DETOURS.

HOW CAN WE HAVE ANY IDEA ABOUT THE DURATION THAT THIS WOULD TAKE? HOW LONG ON THE CURE OR THE ACTUAL WHOLE PROJECT? WE CAN EXPEDITE IT AS FAST AS WE CAN.

SURVEYING IS GONNA PROBABLY TAKE A MONTH AND A HALF.

WE CAN KNOCK OUT THE DESIGN AS FAST AS WE CAN.

IT WILL BE PUSHING IF WE GO NOW.

YOU KNOW, WE'LL BE PUSHING THAT THAT ONE YEAR TO TO GET TO CONSTRUCTION AND GET MOVING.

THE GOOD THING IS, IS THEY'RE YOU'RE CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF THE FAA, THE ADVANCED FUNDING AGREEMENT, WHICH TXDOT THAT'S THEIR AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY ON THIS ACTUAL TO GRANT THAT NORMALLY TAKES WHAT THEY TOLD US WAS EIGHT MONTHS, I BELIEVE, BEFORE THEY EVEN GET BACK INTO THE DESIGN.

SO THEY'LL PUSH IT BACK A LITTLE BIT MORE.

SO WE GOT WE HAVE TIME, BUT NOT A WHOLE LOT OF TIME.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO EXPEDITE THIS IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO DO.

WELL, THE WE DIDN'T I DIDN'T ASK YOU AHEAD OF TIME, BUT TO SUPERIMPOSE WHAT THE TO GRANT AREA COVERS, BECAUSE STUFF WE HAVE TO DO IS GOING TO BE OUTSIDE OF THAT TO HOOK UP THE WATER LINES.

WE CAN ATTACK.

PUT OUR FOCUS ON GETTING TAKING CARE OF WHAT'S GOING TO BE UNDERGROUND IN THE IN THE TO AREA, THEN POSSIBLY CONTINUE TO OTHER OTHER STUFF.

I DON'T KNOW, JUST IT'S IT'S A, IT'S A LOGISTICAL ISSUE, YOU KNOW.

RIGHT. YOU GOT WATER LINES.

YOU GOT TO KEEP PEOPLE GOT TO KEEP ON HAVING WATER.

YOU CAN'T JUST SAY GO HOME FOR A WEEK OR TWO.

AND WE'RE WE'RE DANGLING A CARROT IN FRONT OF TEX DOT TWO IS BECAUSE WE NEED TO RESET SOME OF THOSE FIRE HYDRANTS.

AND THOSE FIRE HYDRANTS ARE CAUSING THEM PROBLEMS IN DESIGN.

SO WHEN WE DO THIS WATER LINE WE'RE GOING TO REPLACE THEM ANYWAYS.

SO WE TOLD THEM WE WOULD WORK WITH THEIR DESIGNERS AND MOVE THEM OUT OF THE WAY TO WHERE IT'D BE A SMOOTHER TRANSITION IN THEIR DESIGN.

AND THEY WERE VERY, VERY HAPPY ABOUT THAT ACCOMMODATION.

POP. THEY'RE REAL HAPPY ABOUT THAT.

SO DO WE HAVE ANY ACTION? I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE FUND IT THROUGH THE PUBLIC WORKS OR WATER.

AND PROCEED ON WITH THIS PROJECT FOR THE TXDOT.

OKAY. SECOND THAT.

SO I GOT A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER ROBERTS.

SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER BOOTH.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? OKAY. LET'S CALL FOR A VOTE.

ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

AYE. ANY OPPOSED? OKAY, SO DO YOU UNDERSTAND? MAKING SURE WE'RE CLEAR ON WHERE WE GOT.

OKAY. YEP. JUST TO LET COUNCIL KNOW, I'LL BRING A PROPOSAL BACK FOR FEES SO THAT Y'ALL CAN SEE THE FEES, AND THEN Y'ALL CAN VOTE ON THE FEE FOR THE DESIGN, THE BID AND THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE OF THIS PROCESS.

THIS IS A BUY ONE, GET ONE OR NOT.

I THOUGHT IT WAS BUY ONE, GET TWO.

BUY ONE, GET TWO. YEAH, SO.

BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALL UP FRONT.

EVERYBODY. RIGHT.

WE UNDERSTAND THAT.

I MEAN, I THINK WE ALL UNDERSTOOD THAT COUNCILWOMAN ROBERTS IS REFERRING TO THE BUDGETED ITEM HERE.

CORRECT. AS OPPOSED TO ALL THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES THAT COUNCIL MEMBER BOOTH DISCUSSED A SECOND AGO.

CORRECT. OKAY. WE UNDERSTAND.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I'LL BRING THAT BACK.

APPRECIATE IT JOHN. NO PROBLEM.

ALL RIGHT. SO MOVING ON TO REGULAR AGENDA ITEM NUMBER TEN, DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE THE SUBMISSION OF TWO HOUSTON-GALVESTON AREA COUNCIL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT

[10. Discussion and possible action to approve the submission of two Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) Transportation Improvement Program grant applications for the Henderson Road Improvements.]

PROGRAM GRANT APPLICATIONS FOR THE HENDERSON ROAD IMPROVEMENTS.

AND IT LOOKS LIKE MR. PETERSON AGAIN. ALL RIGHT.

IT'S AN EXCITING TIME.

THERE IS A TIP CALL OUT THERE RIGHT NOW, FOR PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE IDENTIFIED.

THE HENDERSON ROAD HAS WE HAVE, PUT IN FOR THE HENDERSON ROAD AND WE'RE NOW IN THE PROCESS OF SUBMITTING THE NARRATIVE, THE WRITTEN NARRATIVE, WHICH IS GOING TO BE

[00:40:05]

50% OF THE SCORE.

I HAVE COMPLETED BOTH OF THEM FOR THE HIGH GROWTH AREA NEEDS AND THE OPERATION IMPROVEMENT AND CONGESTION MANAGEMENT MANAGEMENT.

SO I'VE GOT THOSE THOSE PUT TOGETHER.

THEY'RE DUE ON THE 15TH.

SO WANTED TO COME IN AND MAKE SURE THAT BEFORE I SUBMITTED IT, THAT THE CITY KNOWS THAT THIS WILL BE A $40 MILLION CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS WHERE WE HAVE IT AT RIGHT NOW FOR JUST CONSTRUCTION.

THAT'S GOING TO INCLUDE, BOULEVARD SECTIONS THAT'S GOING TO IMPROVE INCLUDE PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS, INCLUDING PUSH BUTTON SIGNALIZATION AND DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS. WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO FILL IN THOSE DITCHES ALONG HENDERSON AND GIVE SOME PEOPLE SOME SAFE PASSAGE.

ANYTHING WEST OF DOWNING ON HENDERSON, THERE IS NO SIDEWALK.

SO ANY ANYBODY TRYING TO WALK TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL OR EVEN RANCHO HAS A DIFFICULTY WALKING SAFELY.

THERE'S OPEN DITCHES ON BOTH SIDES.

SO THIS WILL ADDRESS THAT.

THE THE MATCH THOUGH, IS GOING TO BE AN 80 OVER 20 MATCH.

80% WILL BE FUNDED THROUGH THE GOVERNMENT.

THE OTHER 20% WOULD BE MATCHED BY THE CITY.

SO IF EVEN SELECTED, IT'D STILL BE A COMMITMENT SOMEWHERE AROUND.

AND THAT'S JUST THE CONSTRUCTION COST.

WITH ALL THE ENGINEERING AND C SERVICES AND STUFF, THAT'LL HAVE TO BE COMING.

YOU'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AROUND A $10 MILLION COMMITMENT IF WE GET IF THE CITY GETS SELECTED.

SO. CONTINUE.

I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT. I DIDN'T MEAN TO.

THAT'S BASICALLY IT.

BUT I'LL TELL YOU WHAT IT INVOLVES.

IT INVOLVES LOOKING AT THE DRAINAGE, THE NARRATIVES INVOLVED, LOOKING AT THE DRAINAGE, LOOKING AT ALL THE BUSINESSES IN THE AREA WANTS TO LOOK AT, ANY KIND OF QUALITY THAT YOU CAN, LOW INCOME, LOOKING AT PEDESTRIAN SAFETY, MOBILITY, ALL THAT STUFF.

WE'VE TAKEN A LOOK.

THE ACTUAL INTERSECTIONS RIGHT NOW AT 288 B, VALDERAS AND DOWNING ARE FUNCTIONING AT A LEVEL D OR BELOW.

VALDERAS IS ACTUALLY FUNCTIONING AT AN F INDUSTRY.

STANDARD OF LEVEL OF SERVICE IS A C.

SO CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE SOME INTERSECTIONS THAT ARE STARTING TO SEE A LOT OF BACKUP RIGHT NOW BETWEEN THE HOUSING THAT'S CAME IN, THAT WOULD USE, HENDERSON ROAD AND THE APARTMENTS, IT'S ABOUT 1300 OR DWELLINGS.

THAT ARE COMING IN.

SO THE CONGESTION YOU'RE GOING TO SEE NOW IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE.

AS THOSE DWELLINGS.

THERE'S THOSE HOUSES AND APARTMENTS GET FILLED UP, FILLED IN.

SO THE FUNDING WOULD BE SOME FEDERAL FUNDS INVOLVED IN THIS? YES, SIR. IT WOULD BE FEDERAL FUNDS AND IT'D BE ADMINISTRATED THROUGH TXDOT.

SO FEDERAL PAUSE TRIGGERS DAVIS-BACON WAGE RATES AND TRIGGERS OTHER STRINGS THAT ARE GOING TO BE ATTACHED.

IF WE GET SELECTED AND WE ARE HERE ON OUR ON THE CITY PROJECTS THAT WE'RE DOING, WE ADHERE TO THE DAVIS-BACON.

SO IT'S NOT TOO FAR OF A STRETCH.

WE REQUIRE THAT TO BE MANDATED IN THESE CONTRACTS.

LOOKING AT THE MATRIX THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ENTERED INTO.

WHAT ARE SOME OTHER.

WHAT ARE SOME OTHER ITEMS THAT THEY COULD THAT WOULD BENEFIT US THAT WE'RE NOT GETTING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF? AND AS FAR AS THEIR MATRIX AS FAR AS SELECTION COMES, AGAIN, THIS IS A TRANSPORTATION GRANT WHICH IS DIFFERENT THAN ALL THE DRAINAGE GRANTS WHERE YOU HAVE TO.

SO STRUCTURAL FLOODING AND WHAT HDC IS LOOKING AT.

SO THEY'VE GOT TO HAVE SOME KIND OF A MATRIX THAT THEY'RE THEY HAVE A MATRIX.

YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK AT AIR QUALITY.

PART OF THE NARRATIVE THAT I, THAT I DID, I CALCULATED THE AIR QUALITY, HOW MUCH CLEANER THE AIR IS GOING TO BE.

INSTEAD OF HAVING VEHICLES STOPPED AND STOPPING AND GOING, THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO MOVE.

SO WE GOT TO PROVE THERE'S GOING TO BE AIR QUALITY.

YOU GOT TO IMPROVE THAT. THERE IS SOME NEED FOR DRAINAGE, WHICH WE DO BECAUSE YOU HAVE THOSE OPEN DITCHES, THE OPEN DITCHES FILLING THOSE IN WILL GIVE US THE ROOM TO PUT THE BOULEVARD SECTION IN, COMMUTER THE BUSSES.

IT'LL MAKE IT SAFER FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY'LL ALWAYS BE AN OPEN AIR TRAFFIC LANE FOR WHEN PEOPLE STOP TO GET TO PICK UP THE THE PASSENGERS AND STUFF AT THE BUS STOPS, THERE'S 13 BUS STOPS ON HENDERSON SO THAT ALLOW TRAFFIC TO CONTINUE ON INSTEAD OF PILING UP BEHIND SOMEBODY TRYING TO LOAD IN AND LOAD OUT OF THE BUSSES.

OTHER THINGS THAT WILL DO IS IT'LL ALSO HELP IN CASE THERE'S EVER THERE IS EVER AN ACCIDENT, YOU'LL HAVE ANOTHER SECTION WHERE YOU CAN DIVERT TRAFFIC AROUND WHILE PEOPLE ARE

[00:45:06]

WORKING ON THAT IN THAT, THAT INTERSECTION.

SO WE'RE WE'RE PUTTING ALL THAT THAT IN PLUS THE SCHOOLS.

I MEAN, IT'S NOT ONLY JUST ANGLETON MIDDLE SCHOOL, BUT YOU ALSO GOT RANCHO ISABELLA AND YOU ALSO GOT PEOPLE WANTING TO GET TO AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES AT THE ANGLETON HIGH SCHOOL THAT WILL USE THAT CORRIDOR, FOR BIKING, WALKING, THAT DO NOT HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY RIGHT NOW, ESPECIALLY BACK ON THE THE WEST SIDE OF DOWNING. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE, WE'RE NOT GOING TO SCORE HIGH ON AND IT IT'S IT'S A BLESSING IS THERE'S NO FATALITIES OR NO ACCIDENTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED ON HENDERSON ROAD.

RIGHT. THAT'S PART OF THE SCORING COMPOSITION.

WE JUST BEEN LUCKY WE DON'T HAVE THAT.

SO THAT'S A GOOD THING.

BUT BETWEEN THE COMMUTERS, BETWEEN DOING THE MULTI MODAL WITH PEDESTRIANS, BICYCLISTS, TRAFFIC, THE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW ON THOSE THREE INTERSECTIONS, THE ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT THAT'S COMING, AND JUST THE BUSINESSES IN THERE, I MEAN, YOU HAVE SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICES WITHIN A QUARTER OF A MILE OF THAT CORRIDOR TO WHERE PEOPLE THAT NEED TO WALK TO THE SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE CAN'T MAKE IT BECAUSE THERE'S NO SIDEWALKS THERE.

SO IT'S JUST AN ALL AROUND GOOD, SOLID PROJECT THAT'S SELECTABLE DUE TO THIS BEING A TRANSPORTATION PROJECT.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHEN THE SELECTION WILL BE MADE FROM? THE, FROM THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAD CECIL, THEY THEY SAID THAT AGAIN, WE GOT TO SUBMIT IT ON THE 15TH.

SO AFTER THIS COUNCIL, DEPENDING ON WHAT COUNCIL GOES, I'M GOING TO DO ONE FINAL READ THROUGH.

GIVEN THAT WE SUBMITTED ON THE 15TH, WHEN IS THERE A SELECTION DATE? THEY'RE GOING TO REVIEW IT, FOR 45 TO 60 DAYS AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO COME BACK.

AND THAT'S WHEN WE GOT TO PUT THE COST TO IT.

SO THERE'S ANOTHER SUBMITTAL PORTION OF IT.

SO THEY GOT TO REVIEW IT AND SAY OKAY THIS IS SELECTABLE.

WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT.

NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT COST.

AND WE'LL WE'LL FIGURE OUT IF YOU SCORE ABOVE A ONE BASED ON THEIR CRITERIA.

AND THEY, THEY THEY GIVE YOU POINTS FOR MULTIMODAL ISM SAFETY PEDESTRIANS.

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS.

AS YOU KNOW, THE DRAINAGE THAT WAS INSTALLED AT THE SCHOOL WAS INSTALLED TOO HIGH.

THAT'S REALLY IMPACTED THE DRAINAGE BACK TO THE WEST.

ALL THE WAY AROUND RANCHO, AROUND THE CORNER.

WE WILL ADDRESS THAT.

WE'LL WE'LL ACTUALLY LOWER ALL THAT DOWN.

THAT'S WHY WE GOT TO START AT THE OUTFALL.

IF WE DON'T, WE'RE GOING TO MISS AN OPPORTUNITY TO FIX THE DRAINAGE THERE IN THAT AREA.

WHAT'S THE DATE YOU THINK THAT WILL.

NO. OKAY.

LONG. YEAH. LONG STORY.

THAT DATE IS AS FAR AS I KNOW.

ONCE WE GET THAT BACK, THEY'RE GOING TO REVIEW IT FOR ANOTHER 60, 70 DAYS AND THEN MAYBE FIND OUT THEN.

SO IT'S REALLY NOT HARD WIRED ON ON THEIR PART OF ANNOUNCING THOSE THAT SELECTION.

I CAN LOOK INTO IT AND GET SOME MORE INFORMATION.

I'LL GIVE IT TO CHRIS.

SOUNDS LIKE 4 TO 6 MONTHS, 6 TO 8, 6 TO 8.

I WOULD SAY 6TH DECEMBER.

OCTOBER. YES, HOPEFULLY.

I'LL GET SOME INFORMATION.

THEY GAVE US A LITTLE HANDOUT, BUT IT'S GOT A LOT OF WORDING IN IT BECAUSE IT DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH THEY GET, HOW MANY THEY GOT TO REVIEW, HOW HOW IT COMES THROUGH.

I JUST I THINK WE'RE ALL EAGER TO GET THIS GOING.

AND HERE IT'S LIKE WE, WE SAY YES, WE'RE WAITING ANOTHER YEAR BEFORE WE GET EVEN START DESIGN IF WE GET THE MONEY.

WHEN WOULD WE HAVE TO PUT UP OUR PART? LIKE ONCE YOU GO INTO CONSTRUCTION.

SO TWO YEARS.

I MEAN, IT WOULD BE.

IT WOULD BE IDENTIFIED IN THE AFAR.

IT WOULD BE JUST LIKE WHAT THE TO GRANT.

IT WOULD BE IDENTIFIED IN THE AFAR.

MOST OF THE TIME IT'S IT'S RIGHT BEFORE IT GOES TO BID OR CONSTRUCTION.

YOU'LL MATCH THAT. WE DO HAVE FUNDS IN THE CURRENT OR THE PROPOSED ANYWAY.

AND WE ARE DOING SOME DESIGN.

I MEAN, WE'RE DOING THE THE RIGHT OF WAY LAYOUT AND THE, THE GEOMETRICS OF THE OF THE ROADWAY.

I PLAN ON GIVING AN UPDATE ON HENDERSON AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING, ON SOME OF THE STUFF THAT WE'VE FOUND OUT THROUGH PULLING PLATS.

HOW WE CAN SAY I'VE BEEN REALLY HAPPY.

I THINK I FOUND WAYS TO SAVE THE CITY QUITE A BIT OF MONEY AND TIME, THROUGH THAT EXERCISE AND THEN ALSO SOME SOME GOOD NEWS WITH MY MEETING WITH THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT TWO. SO WE'VE GOT SOME SOME REALLY GOOD INFORMATION TO PROVIDE AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING.

THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR. THANK, THE GENERAL CONSENSUS HAS BEEN FOR THIS COUNCIL TO PRIORITIZE HENDERSON ROAD

[00:50:04]

AND, ALL BASICALLY OPPORTUNITIES SHOULD BE EXPLORED.

THAT'S JUST BEEN THE VIBE I FELT FROM THIS COUNCIL.

AND SO, I LIKE FOR US TO CONTINUE TO LOOK AT THAT SO I CAN'T MAKE ANY MOTIONS.

I MAKE A MOTION, I CAN'T.

OH. THE CHAIR.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE OR TO SUBMIT FOR THE TWO APPLICATIONS FOR HENDERSON ROAD.

SORRY. OKAY. I GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN ROBERTS AND A SECOND BY COUNCILMAN SARTAIN.

IS EVERYBODY UNDERSTAND THE MOTION? BECAUSE I KIND OF CUT THEM OFF.

I APOLOGIZE. OKAY, GOOD.

I'LL CALL. ANY ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT. BEFORE I CALL FOR A VOTE, I'LL CALL FOR A VOTE.

ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

AYE AYE. ANY OPPOSED? OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

SO MOVING ON.

[12. Discussion and Annual Update of the Windrose Green Subdivision Development by the developer.]

ITEM NUMBER 12 DISCUSSION AND ANNUAL UPDATE OF THE WINDROSE GREEN SUBDIVISION DEVELOPMENT BY THE DEVELOPER.

IF YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF.

GOOD EVENING TO EVERYONE.

MY NAME IS JEB COLBY, DEVELOPER FOR WINDOWS GREEN SUBDIVISION.

JEB, BEFORE YOU GO REAL QUICK.

SO THIS IS AN ANNUAL REQUIREMENT FOR THE DEVELOPERS.

AND SO NORMALLY WE WOULD HAVE DONE THIS IN JANUARY.

IT WAS A LITTLE CHAOTIC.

SO, I'LL SAY IT'S MY FAULT.

WE'RE HERE IN FEBRUARY, BUT WE'RE JUST REALLY MEETING AN ANNUAL REQUIREMENT.

I KNOW WE'VE SEEN THEM OFTEN, AND TALKED TO THEM ABOUT DIFFERENT THINGS, BUT THEY'RE HERE BECAUSE WE AGREED TO THAT.

GO AHEAD. RIGHT. YEAH.

AND WE WE MET WITH CITY STAFF WEEK BEFORE LAST.

BUT HERE TONIGHT TO PROVIDE GENERAL OVERALL UPDATE ON THE STATUS OF DEVELOPMENT.

BUT, WINDOWS GREEN IS ABOUT 155 ACRE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION LOCATED JUST EAST OF THE HIGH SCHOOL, RIGHT THERE OFF OF FM 523.

AS FAR AS HOME BUILDING ACTIVITY GOES, THERE ARE CURRENTLY 133 HOMES EITHER COMPLETED AND OCCUPIED OR UNDER SOME STAGE OF CONSTRUCTION. THIS CURRENT LAND PLAN SHOWS TOTAL BUILD OUT OF ROUGHLY 650 HOMES, GIVE OR TAKE A FEW.

AND SO YOU RUN THOSE NUMBERS.

WE'RE ABOUT 20%, OF THE WAY THROUGH FULL BUILD OUT.

WE DID INTRODUCE A THIRD HOME BUILDING COMPANY THIS PAST DECEMBER.

AND SO THE CURRENT STARTS PACE, IF YOU COMBINE ALL THREE BUILDERS OUT THERE IS 17 NEW HOMES A MONTH.

SO IT'S STARTING TO MOVE.

THE AVERAGE HOME SALES PRICE OUT THERE CURRENTLY IS RIGHT AT 344, $345,000.

ON THE 45 AVERAGE SALES PRICE IS 334 ON THE 5386.

AND THE CURRENT LOWER AND UPPER BOUNDS, THE LOWEST PRICE POINT HOME WAS $250,000, RIGHT AT 250, AND THE HIGHEST WAS $573,000. THEY JUST STARTED ON THE 40S.

SO, THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ANY CLOSINGS YET, BUT WE ANTICIPATE THAT RANGE TO BE IN THE 240 TO 290 RANGE.

SO HOMES ARE STARTING TO BE MORE, AFFORDABLE.

I THINK, SALES PACE HAS BEEN A LITTLE BIT SLOWER THAN WE ANTICIPATED OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS.

PART OF THAT'S NATURAL, IT'S, YOU KNOW, OCTOBER THROUGH JANUARY IS NOT THE SELLING SEASON, YOU KNOW, SO IT NATURALLY SLOWS DOWN.

AND THEN LIKE WE ALL SAW IN THE TAIL END OF 2022, ALL OF 2023, THE PRICE OF HOMES REALLY ESCALATED, ALMOST TO THE POINT OF BEING RIDICULOUS.

AND I THINK THE BUILDERS HAVE STARTED TO ADJUST THEIR PRICES APPROPRIATELY.

AND, BUT ANYWAY, STARTING NOW, USUALLY RIGHT AFTER SUPER BOWL THROUGH THE END OF MAY IS THE SELLING SEASON.

SO WE ANTICIPATE A LOT MORE, SALES COMING UP.

SECTIONS ONE, TWO AND THREE LOTS ARE ALREADY ON THE GROUND.

SECTIONS FOUR AND FIVE ARE UNDER DESIGN.

AND SECTIONS SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, THOSE HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN PLATTED YET.

AS FAR AS AMENITIES GO, WE WE'VE BID AND AWARDED THE SECOND PHASE OF AMENITIES.

FIRST PHASE IS ALREADY COMPLETE, WHICH INCLUDES THAT PARK ON THE NORTH SIDE, LANDSCAPING AROUND BOTH PONDS, AND ALL THE LANDSCAPE SETBACKS ALONG FM 523 UP TO PASS THE MODEL HOME COURT.

AND THIS NEXT PHASE OF LANDSCAPING WILL EXTEND THAT MASONRY WALL FENCE ALL THE WAY EAST TOWARD THE THE EASTERN PART OF THE PROPERTY CORNER.

[00:55:05]

AND THEN THE LANDSCAPING ASSOCIATED WITH THAT SETBACK ALONG THE ROAD.

AND THEN, THERE'LL BE AN ADDITIONAL PARK IN THIS PHASE THERE ON THE SOUTHERN END AND THEN LANDSCAPING IMPROVEMENTS, MASONRY WALL ENTRY MONUMENTATION OFF THE HENDERSON ROAD ENTRANCE AS WELL.

AND THEN WE FINALLY HAVE, A SCHEMATIC DESIGN FROM THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT WHICH WOULD CONNECT THE COMMUNITY TO THE HIGH SCHOOL.

AND SO WE'RE READY NOW TO START CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM.

IT'LL BE SAFER THAN WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING NOW WALKING ALONG.

523 BUT IT WOULD IT WOULD KIND OF COME THROUGH THIS, LIKE THIS.

WHAT'S THAT I SAID? YEAH. KIND OF ON THE MORE CENTRAL TO THE COMMUNITY.

AND IT WOULD GO ALONG THAT DRAINAGE CHANNEL AROUND THE HIGH SCHOOL'S DETENTION POND AND UP.

SO IT WOULD TAKE A LOT OF COORDINATION WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, WITH THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT, WITH THE UTILITY DISTRICT.

BUT, I NEED TO REFRESH MYSELF ON THE THE CITY'S PARK MAP.

I DON'T I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A MASTER TRAIL PLAN THAT COMES NEAR THIS AREA.

IF SO, WE CAN COORDINATE.

IF NOT, WE'LL WE'LL CONTINUE JUST TO COORDINATE WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND DRAINAGE DISTRICT, BUT HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET THAT DONE WITH THIS PHASE TWO LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS.

WE DID HIRE A THIRD PARTY ARBORIST TO HELP WITH THE TREE PRESERVATION COUNT.

AND SO WE'RE HOPING TO TRUE UP ON ALL THE REQUIRED CALIPER INCHES, WITH THIS NEXT PHASE OF LANDSCAPING AS WELL.

AND THEN, YOU RECALL, WE, WE COORDINATED WITH THE CITY ON FREEDOM PARK, DETENTION OFF SITE WEST OF THE SCHOOL.

SO WE HELPED EXCAVATE AND PROVIDE A LITTLE OVER 53 ACRE FEET OF VOLUME OUT OF THAT POND.

AND SO, LAST TIME I WAS HERE, I BROUGHT OUR, THE DRAINAGE ENGINEER WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT DRAINAGE IMPACT ANALYSIS.

SO A COMBINATION OF THAT DETENTION ON FREEDOM PARK, THE INTERNAL DRAINAGE SYSTEM WITH WINDROWS.

THOSE CULVERT IMPROVEMENTS THE CITY DID WITH HENDERSON.

EFFECTIVELY REDUCED THE OVERALL FLOODPLAIN FOOTPRINT.

ELEVATION IN THIS GENERAL REGION JUST SOUTH OF THE FREEDOM PARK POND.

KIND OF AS YOU GET EAST AROUND THE SCHOOL AND THEN DOWN BY THE CHURCH NEAR HENDERSON.

WE DID CREATE WITH ALL THE HOME BUILDING ACTIVITY OUT THERE, ENOUGH, VALUE FOR THE FIRST BOND SALE, IN DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR.

AND SO THE CITY RECEIVED, THE WATER AND SEWER, CAPACITY RESERVATION FEES WITH THAT BOND ISSUE.

SO THAT WAS A LITTLE OVER 328,000 FOR SECTION ONE, 155,000 FOR SECTION TWO.

AND THEN WE HAVE PRELIMINARY PLATTED SECTIONS THREE, FOUR, AND FIVE.

SO THOSE WILL GO INTO THE NEXT BOND ISSUE, WHICH WE'RE HOPING TO SELL, FOURTH QUARTER OF THIS YEAR.

AND SO THE CITY WILL RECEIVE AN ADDITIONAL, GOT TO DO MENTAL MATH REAL QUICK, ABOUT 560,000 ISH WITH THOSE THREE SECTIONS COMBINED.

AND THAT IS ALL I HAVE FOR TONIGHT.

UNLESS THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS.

THE ONE THING I WAS.

YOU'VE BEEN HERE LISTENING.

YOU'VE HEARD THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION.

I'M SURE THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION, BUT, LIKE, I SHOULD AT LEAST BRING IT UP ON YOUR MONUMENTATION OFF OF HENDERSON ROAD.

SOON. THERE'S GOING TO BE A SIGNIFICANT SETBACK FOR A LOT OF WAY FOR.

YEAH. IF THE CITY TO WIDEN IT AND WOULD HATE FOR YOU TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY INVESTING IN SOME SORT OF MONUMENTATION ONLY TO HAVE TO HAVE WIPED OUT.

BUT NO, IT WON'T.

IT'LL BE OUTSIDE THE RIGHT OF WAY.

IS THERE A WAY TO SCROLL UP A LITTLE BIT? THERE'S A RESERVE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE.

I CAN'T REALLY SEE IT.

THERE'S A LANDSCAPE RESERVE ON THE SOUTH SIDE, LIKE A BUFFER BETWEEN THE HENDERSON ROAD RIGHT AWAY AND THE, THAT FIRST LOT.

SO IT'LL BE LOCATED THERE.

OKAY. I JUST WANT.

I'M SURE YOU ALL HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED, BUT I WOULD HATE FOR YOU TO.

FUNDS TO BE WASTED.

ANY MORE QUESTIONS? YEAH, JUST GENERALLY SPEAKING, I KNOW YOU'RE STILL UNDER DESIGN AND A COUPLE SECTIONS HAVEN'T BROKE GROUND ON THEM.

WHEN YOU THINK OF TOTAL BUILD OUT.

JUST BEST GUESS.

I KNOW IT'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT FACTORS BASED ON THE CURRENT PACE.

[01:00:01]

THE DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY I THINK WILL BE FINISHED IN 2028 IF NOTHING CHANGES PACE WISE, HOME BUILDING ACTIVITY WOULD CONTINUE THROUGH 2029.

BUT AGAIN, YOU KNOW, THAT'S VERY MUCH DEPENDENT ON THE MARKET AND IF THINGS SLOW DOWN OR SPEED UP.

ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. HEY, JEFF. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER 13, DISCUSSION AND ANNUAL UPDATE OF THE RIVER RIDGE RANCH SUBDIVISION DEVELOPMENT BY THE DEVELOPER.

[13. Discussion and Annual Update of the Riverwood Ranch Subdivision Development by the developer.]

BUT WE DO HAVE A CITIZEN WISHING TO REQUEST TO SPEAK FOR CITY COUNCIL AND WOULD MISS WHITNEY HOPKINS, PLEASE.

OH, MISTER. I'M SORRY.

SORRY. I APOLOGIZE, MR. HOPKINS. NOTHING.

WHITNEY HOUSTON. WHITNEY HOUSTON.

HOW Y'ALL DOING? COUNCIL. THANK YOU.

IF YOU GO AHEAD AND TELL US YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS AND.

YES, WELL, MR. WHITNEY HOPKINS, I APOLOGIZE.

YEAH. 136 KELLY STREET IN RIVERWOOD.

LIKE, SOME PARKS, LIKE PARKS, RECREATION, I GUESS.

PRETTY MUCH STEMMING. YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR THAT WORD A LOT FROM ME TONIGHT.

TRYING TO GET SOMETHING FOR THE KIDS TO DO.

I'VE BEEN OVER THERE. IT'LL BE TWO YEARS IN JULY.

SO ONE OF THE FIRST TEN RESIDENTS TO PURCHASE A HOME OVER THERE.

AND I'VE SEEN IT GROW.

AND WITHIN THAT, WITH THE KIDS, AND WE HAVE A LOT OF KIDS, JUNIOR HIGH LEVEL, WELL, ELEMENTARY, JUNIOR HIGH LEVEL AND THE STREETS IS THEIR PLAYGROUND RIGHT NOW.

AND DEALING WITH HOA WAS WITH THE RESTRICTIONS OF HOA WITH HAVING TO CAN'T HAVE BASKETBALL GOALS OUT BY THE STREET.

AND, SO WITHIN THE KIDS HAVING TO PACK THEM BACK AND FORTH, THEY HAVE TO BE HIDDEN.

IT'S IT'S KIND OF A IT'S, IT'S, IT'S IT CREATES MORE OF A HIGH RISK FACTOR WITHIN, YOU KNOW, GETTING VEHICLES PASSING, PLAYING IN THE ROAD.

STRANGE TO KIDS THESE LIKE I SAY, YOUNG KIDS.

SO WE'RE JUST ASKING FOR MORE AMENITIES TO BE APPROVED, BE ABLE TO BE APPROVED, WHICH WOULD BE OBVIOUSLY FUNDED BY OUR HOA SYSTEM.

I MEAN, THE HOA THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, PARKS.

WE LOVE THE WALKING TRAILS AND STUFF WE HAVE NOW.

LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE ANOTHER TWO SECTIONS BEING BUILT OR WHATNOT, SO WE EXPECT PRETTY MUCH A COPYCAT ON THE OTHER SIDE.

I KNOW WE HAVE GREAT SIZED PARKS IN THIS AREA.

WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE COMMUNITY, WHICH IS KIND OF TIGHT KNIT AND, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE JUST ON OUR STREET ITSELF, AS MOST AS ONE OF THE MOST ACTIVE STREETS WITHIN KIDS AND A LOT OF KIDS, I'M TALKING ABOUT ANY OUTDOOR SPORT.

IT'S PRETTY MUCH TAKING PLACE IN THE ROAD.

YOU CAN'T PLAY THE WAY THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HOMES ARE.

YOU CAN'T PLAY THE BASKETBALL IN THE DRIVEWAYS WITHOUT YOU.

CHASE A BALL AND YOU'RE NOT LOOKING.

CARS COMING AND HOW CAN THEY CALL IT? SOME KIDS CALL ME, THE MEAN GUY.

SOME PEOPLE CALL ME THE MAYOR OF THE OTHER COMMUNITY.

AND WITH THAT BEING SAID, I LOOK AFTER EVERYBODY FROM FROM 1 TO 100, AND ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE OUT THERE IN THE AREA, COMING FROM MY BACKGROUND, BEING AN OIL AND GAS AS A SAFETY, SAFETY COORDINATOR OR WHATNOT.

SO I PAY ATTENTION TO BEHAVIORS, PEOPLE.

I'M WATCHING PEOPLE ALL THE TIME.

SO ADDING TO THAT, WE WOULD LIKE TO WE WOULD LIKE I'M BRINGING THIS TO Y'ALL'S ATTENTION TO SEE IF WE CAN HAVE THAT ADDED TO OUR COMMUNITY.

IT WOULD BE A IT WOULD BE A GREAT BLESSING.

AND LIKE I SAY, REDUCE OUR RISK FACTORS FOR ANYBODY GETTING INJURED WITH KIDS.

THEN THE THING I WOULD KEY PHRASE AND I EIGHME TO MAKE ANGLETON BEAUTIFUL OR WHATEVER AND JUST PRETTY MUCH ENHANCE THE COMMUNITY THAT WE HAVE GOING RIGHT NOW.

THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

AND I. WE'LL CALL YOU BACK UP IN A MINUTE, OKAY? I THINK WE GOT ANOTHER. OKAY, I APOLOGIZE, I HAVE TO PROFESSIONALLY STEP OUT.

MR. FOLEY, WOULD YOU COME TO THE PODIUM, PLEASE? GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL.

I'D ACTUALLY LIKE TO PASS THE BUCK TONIGHT TO BRIAN GERARD.

HE WORKS WITH US AT RIVERWAY, COORDINATING WITH OUR CONTRACTOR AND THE DEVELOPMENT SIDE.

SO HE'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BETTER TO TELL YOU WHERE WE'RE AT WITH THE CURRENT CONSTRUCTION WITH REGARDS TO, YOU KNOW, ANYTHING DISCUSSED IN THE PARKS IN THAT I'M HAPPY TO COME BACK UP AND TALK ABOUT THAT TOO.

OKAY. OKAY.

COME ON. GOOD EVENING COUNCIL.

I DID BRING SOME HARD COPIES, IF YOU ALL WOULD LIKE TO.

MICHELLE. AND SHE CAN DISTRIBUTE THEM.

AGAIN, MY NAME IS BRIAN GERARD.

I'M WORKING WITH THE RIVERWAY TEAM.

WITH WITH MICHAEL.

THANK YOU ALL FOR HAVING US.

BEEN HONORED TO WORK ON THIS RIVERWOOD RANCH PROJECT.

AND HELPING THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT COORDINATION WITH THE ENGINEERS AND, AND, CONTRACTORS AND, GIVE YOU ALL A LITTLE UPDATE ON WHERE WE ARE WITH, HOME SALE AND, AND BUILDING ACTIVITY AS WELL AS, DEVELOPMENT THAT'S UNDERWAY CURRENTLY.

SO ON THE, THE FIRST SLIDE PAST THE TITLE PAGE IS OUR HOME BUILDING ACTIVITY.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 18 HOMES UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

WE'VE COMPLETED 158 HOMES, SOLD 171.

WE WE HAVE FIVE THAT ARE, CURRENTLY FOR SALE AND APPROXIMATELY OR, WE HAVE 29, VACANT DEVELOPED LOTS WITHIN SECTION ONE AND SECTION TWO.

MOST OF THOSE ARE IN SECTION TWO.

IN 2023, WE CLOSED A LITTLE OVER 100 HOMES, THE LION'S SHARE BEING, LENNAR HOMES.

THEY DID ABOUT 80, ON THEIR OWN.

AND PRICE POINTS FROM THE TWO 20S TO, 325, 350 RANGE.

SO A LOT OF THE STRONGER DEMAND ON THE LOWER END OF THE, OF THE PRICE RANGE, CERTAINLY.

AND, SO GENERAL PACE, HAS BEEN AROUND TEN PER MONTH.

AND, WE'RE.

WE'RE GETTING READY TO LENNAR'S, CLOSING THE LAST OF ITS 12 HOMES THAT THEY HAVE UNDER CONSTRUCTION WITHIN SECTION ONE AND SECTION TWO.

THIS MONTH WE ARE WORKING TO DELIVER SECTIONS THREE AND FOUR, WHICH WE'RE NOW CALLING RIVERWOOD RANCH NORTH.

AND SO THAT'LL BRING ON ANOTHER 144 LOTS.

AND, THOSE LOT SIZES ARE 50S AND 60S AS SHOWN IN THIS TABLE HERE.

AND THAT, THAT SECTION WILL BE LENNAR AND D.R.

HORTON. THOSE ARE BOTH, VERY VOLUME ORIENTED.

AND WE SHOULD SEE THEM MOVE QUICKLY.

IN THEIR, IN THEIR START SPACE.

SO OUR DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE AND I'VE GOT SOME, FURTHER INFORMATION AND PICTURES A LITTLE FURTHER IN THE, ON THE NEXT SLIDES. SO WE'VE COMPLETED OUR, DETENTION POND EXCAVATION, AND, MASQUERADING W.S.

AND CONSTRUCTION IS UNDERWAY.

WE ACTUALLY HAD A PRE-CON WITH THE CITY.

WELL, WE HAD OUR INITIAL PRE-CON A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, PRIOR TO THE DETENTION GETTING STARTED.

AND NOW, WE MET WITH HECTOR AND THE TEAM OUT ON SITE THIS AFTERNOON.

OUR WSD CONTRACTOR IS IS MOBILIZING THIS WEEK.

WE'RE GETTING MATERIAL DELIVERED, AND BE HEAVY UNDER CONSTRUCTION, OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS TO COMPLETE THOSE LOTS.

AND SO WE ANTICIPATE DELIVERING THOSE LOTS IN EARLY MAY, AND THEN BE ABLE TO START THE ADDITIONAL HOME BUILDING FOLLOWING THAT, AS WELL AS THE LANDSCAPE AND, AND AMENITY CONSTRUCTION.

SO THIS DRAWING HERE IS A ARCHITECT RENDERING OF THE PROPOSED LANDSCAPE, HARDSCAPE PLAN AROUND THE, AROUND THE POND, INCLUDING ADDITIONAL WALKING TRAILS, LANDSCAPING, IRRIGATION, THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

THE FOLLOWING SHEET IS A, PICTORIAL OF THE SUBMITTED LANDSCAPE HARDSCAPE PLAN, INCLUDING SOME SIGNAGE, LANDSCAPE BEDS, IRRIGATION SIDEWALKS, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

AND I KNOW WE WE HAVE SOME, SOME ITEMS TO DISCUSS LATER IN THE AGENDA REGARDING, SOME OF THOSE HARDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS AND THINGS, BUT AND HERE'S SOME SITE PHOTOS, OF THE DETENTION POND CONSTRUCTION, AND THE, THE FUTURE LOTS WHERE WE'VE STAKED THE SANITARY, FOR

[01:10:05]

CONSTRUCTION. AND WE'LL BE GETTING STARTED WITH THAT.

AND, THERE'S SOME PHOTOS OF THE EXISTING HOUSING AND, RECENT MONUMENTATION THAT WAS INSTALLED FOR SECTION TWO.

WITH THE FREEZE, A LOT OF THE PLANTS ARE TRIMMED BACK RIGHT NOW, BUT, SO WE'RE EXCITED TO KEEP IT MOVING FORWARD AND, HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL ON OUR ON OUR DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES, IF YOU HAVE ANY.

IT'S ALL IT'S ALL BEEN CONTRACTED FOR AND UNDERWAY NOW.

YES, SIR. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO ITEM 14.

[14. Discussion and possible action on the Development Agreement for Anderson Place Subdivision between Mr. Bobby A. Weaver and the City of Angleton, for a 16-lot subdivision located on the east side of S. Anderson Street, between Southside Dr. and Cemetery Rd.]

DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR ANDERSON PLACE SUBDIVISION BETWEEN MR. BOBBY A WEAVER, AND THE CITY OF ANGLETON FOR A 16 LOT SUBDIVISION LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF SOUTH ANDERSON STREET BETWEEN SOUTHSIDE DRIVE AND CEMETERY ROAD.

OTIS. THANK YOU.

COUNCIL. I'M INTRODUCING THIS ITEM BEFORE YOU.

THIS IS THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR ANDERSON PLACE SUBDIVISION, WHICH IS PREVIOUSLY PLATTED AND RECORDED.

YOU KNOW, THIS SUBDIVISION IS LOCATED OFF OF ANDERSON STREET BETWEEN SOUTHSIDE DRIVE AND CEMETERY ROAD.

THE DEVELOPER IS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT TRYING TO HAVE THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT APPROVED BASED ON THE FEW ITEMS, AND ALSO TO START COMMENCEMENT ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS 16 LOT SUBDIVISION.

AS I STATED PREVIOUSLY RECORDED, SOME OF THE HOLDUPS ON THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT WAS BASICALLY, CHANGING OWNERSHIP OF A PREVIOUS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. AND THEN YOU ALSO CONSIDERED A HERITAGE TREE PLAN BACK IN 2021.

OF COURSE, PRIOR TO MY ARRIVAL, THE DEVELOPER, OF COURSE, HAS TAKEN THIS PECAN ORCHARD AND LAID OUT THESE PARTICULAR LOTS, BUT THEY WERE HAVING SOME DIFFICULTIES WITH THE TREE PRESERVATION PLAN.

SINCE THAT TIME, THEY HAVE HIRED AN ARBORIST TO COME IN AND DO A THOROUGH ANALYSIS OF THE TREES TO DETERMINE SOME OF THOSE SPECIES WERE DISEASED AND UNSAVABLE BAKER LAWSON IS AVAILABLE HERE TODAY, AS WELL AS MR. BOBBY WEAVER.

MR.. JOHN WEAVER, WHO WILL ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE? WE HAVE GIVEN YOU ALL OF THE EXHIBITS THAT ARE PART OF THAT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

THERE ARE NO COMMON AREAS AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

HOWEVER, THEY HAVE PLANS TO IMPROVE SOME OF THE NOTORIOUS DRAINAGE ISSUES THAT WE'VE HAD WITH SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS TO THE EAST, AND THEY WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THAT, TO GIVE YOU SOME CONFIDENCE THAT SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT THE NEIGHBORS ARE EXPERIENCING WILL BE ALLEVIATED WITH THE DRAINAGE OF THIS PARTICULAR, IMPROVEMENT OF THESE LOTS.

AND ALSO THERE IS ALSO A PROPOSAL ATTACHED AND PART OF THE CALCULATION, OF SOME OF THE SEWER.

I'M SORRY. WELL, THE SEWER SYSTEM UPGRADES.

SO THEY'LL ALSO GIVE YOU THAT INFORMATION, WHICH IS A PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, THE ATTACHMENT IN WHICH YOU RECEIVED BEFORE THE AGENDA POSTING HAS GONE BEFORE LEGAL. AND WE'VE MADE SOME SLIGHT TEXTUAL CHANGES AND SOME LEGAL JARGON HAS PROBABLY BEEN UPDATED.

SO I DO HAVE UPDATED COPIES OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, AS AMENDED.

NO MAJOR CHANGES, BUT, JUDITH AND I WILL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE REGARDING THE DOCUMENT ITSELF.

SO WE ARE REQUESTING YOU TO CONSIDER THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT SUBJECT TO FINAL LEGAL APPROVAL.

AND THEN THE REPRESENTATIVES ARE AVAILABLE.

I DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAVE A PRESENTATION.

BUT TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, IT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE PARKLAND, CALCULATION AND THE CALF FEES BASED ON THE 12 LOTS, WHICH TWO OF THEM ARE ALREADY APPROVED.

FOUR OF THEM WERE PLATTED WITH THE PREVIOUS SUBDIVISION.

THAT'S PART OF THIS PLAT.

OTHER THAN THAT, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF WILL ANSWER THAT AS WELL.

SO JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT'S IN YOUR PACKET, THE FEES ARE INCORRECT.

[01:15:01]

SO BUT THE FEES ARE CORRECTED AND THE REVISED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT OTIS HAS.

SO THE PARK FEES ARE ACTUALLY $6,900.

AND THE ONE IN YOUR PACKET REFLECTS THE FIGURE THAT'S SMALLER.

SO THANK YOU.

THAT ONE I DON'T HAVE.

DEVELOPERS ARE AWARE THAT SORRY, THE DEVELOPER IS AWARE OF THAT CHANGE.

OTIS ARE THEY AWARE? YES, THEY THEY DID WORK.

OKAY. GOOD EVENING.

CAN YOU GO AHEAD AND INSERT YOURSELF? HI, I'M BOBBY WEAVER, I'M THE OWNER DEVELOPER, AND I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

FUNDAMENTALLY, THE THE SUBDIVISION WAS ORIGINALLY PLATTED IN 1962, AND IT WAS RE PLATTED IN 1920, 21.

EXCUSE ME 2020, 2019.

AND I PURCHASED THE LAND IN 2020.

AND, THE HERITAGE TREE ORDINANCE CAME ALONG ABOUT THAT TIME, WHICH, THIS WAS AN OLD PECAN ORCHARD ON THIS PROPERTY.

THE STREET IS ANDERSON, AND WE HAVE NO NEED TO DO ANYTHING TO THE STREET, BUT WE ARE REPLACING A MAJOR SEWER LINE THAT SERVES THAT WHOLE AREA, WHICH IS PART OF OUR AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY.

IN ADDITION, THERE'S A QUITE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DRAINAGE ISSUES BACKING UP TO THE ADJACENT SUBDIVISION THAT WE'RE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF AS WELL.

WE'LL BE PROVIDING STORMWATER DRAINAGE THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF OF ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A VERY, VERY LONG TIME.

AND IN ADDITION, WE ARE PUTTING IN A FIRE HYDRANT ACROSS THE STREET.

WHICH OF SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE A LONG TIME AGO, QUITE FRANKLY.

THERE'S 16 LOTS THAT WE WILL BE BUILDING ON.

THE LOTS ARE ABOUT 60 FOOT BY 170, AND THERE'S TWO EXISTING HOMEOWNERS IN THE SUBDIVISION.

THERE'S A TOTAL OF 18, LOTS OF WHICH WE HAVE 16 THAT WE WILL BE DEVELOPING.

AND SO WE WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND THAT YOU APPROVE THIS THIS EVENING.

I WAS GOING THROUGH THE AGREEMENT, AND I JUST FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO ASK, ARE THERE SIDEWALKS? THERE'S EXISTING SIDEWALKS WHICH WE INTEND TO LEAVE AS IS OR WILL BE SOME DAMAGE WHEN WE PUT DRIVEWAYS IN.

AND OF COURSE, WE'LL HAVE TO REFURBISH THEM.

OKAY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S KEPT UP.

BUT THERE WILL BE A SIDEWALK MAINTAINED.

CERTAINLY. WELL, YOU HAVEN'T REPLACED THE SANITARY SEWER LINE THAT COMES FROM THE EXISTING SUBDIVISION OUT TO THE STREET, IS THAT CORRECT? PLUS, WE'RE BRINGING IN A NEW SEWER LINE THAT WILL SERVE THE 16 LOTS, AND THE OTHER TWO HOMEOWNERS THAT ARE THERE NOW NEED TO TIE INTO IT.

THERE'S ENOUGH CAPACITY TO HANDLE THAT AS WELL.

I AM HAPPY TO HEAR THAT MY CONCERNS OF THE DRAINAGE ISSUES AND SEWER ISSUES THAT GROVE AND VINE HAVE BEEN FACING, I'M SORRY, I CAN'T.

SORRY. I'M HAPPY THAT THE MY CONCERNS WERE FOR THE DRAINAGE AND THE SEWER ISSUES, AFFECT THAT AFFECT GROVE AND VINE.

AND I'M GLAD THAT YOU'RE TAKING THAT INTO CONSIDERATION AND IMPROVING THAT, BECAUSE I KNOW WHENEVER IT RAINS HEAVY.

ON GROVE, THEY HAVE ISSUES WITH THEIR TOILETS.

AND, I'M HOPING THAT THE NEW SEWER THAT YOU'RE INSTALLING WILL HELP ALLEVIATE THEIR ISSUES.

WE'VE HAD A LOT OF HOMEOWNERS THAT THAT BACK UP BECAUSE THEY COME TAKE CARE OF THIS DRAINAGE PROBLEM AND OUR SEWER PROBLEM, AND THIS SHOULD DO THAT.

GOOD. THANK YOU.

SO YOUR CONSTRUCTION, YOUR YOUR NEW SANITARY SEWER RUNNING NORTH AND SOUTH IS GOING TO CONNECT TO THE ADJOINING HOMES.

ALSO, THEY'RE GOING TO TIE IN.

CORRECT. OKAY.

OKAY. YOU KNOW, THAT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING, MR. WEAVER. I KNOW IT'S BEEN AN ARDUOUS TASK TO GET FROM THERE TO HERE.

THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE THAT.

ARE YOU ARE YOU ALSO THE BUILDER OR.

MY SON AND I WILL BE.

THE BUILDING WILL EACH BUILD EIGHT HOUSES.

OKAY, GREAT.

I'VE BUILT SEVERAL HUNDRED IN LAKE JACKSON AND RICHWOOD AND CLUTE OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS.

GREAT. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE YOU LOOKING AT ANGLETON.

[01:20:07]

SO, JUDITH, IF THERE'S A MOTION, DOES IT NEED TO INCLUDE AMENDING THE FEES THAT WE'RE RECEIVING? SO THE MOTION JUST NEEDS TO INCLUDE THE REVISED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT WAS JUST HANDED TO CITY COUNCIL.

AND I WOULD ALSO ADD THAT IT NEEDS TO BE I DON'T KNOW IF MR. WEAVER'S ATTORNEY HAS SEEN IT.

SO WE MAY WANT TO DO A MOTION SUBJECT TO MAKING SURE THE DEVELOPER'S ATTORNEY HAS REVIEWED IT TO APPROVE IT, SUBJECT TO I DON'T KNOW IF HE SAW IT.

IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS OF COUNCIL? YEAH. ARE THERE ANY MOTIONS, ANY ACTION? WELL, BACK TO THE TREE STUFF.

ARE YOU HAVING TO PROVIDE A BUNCH OF TREES OR SOMETHING AND TO REPLACE TREES THAT ARE GOING TO COME OUT, OR WE'RE SAVING PROBABLY ABOUT A HALF OF THE HERITAGE TREES.

YES. AND, AND BAKER LAWSON IS CALCULATED WHAT IT TAKES TO COMPLY.

AND WE'VE ADDED TREES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE COMPLY WITH THE HERITAGE TREE ORDINANCE.

ARE YOU PLANNING THOSE ON SITE? THEY'LL BE ON THE LOTS THAT WILL NOT HAVE MANY TREES ON THEM.

SO. AND WE ALWAYS PLANT OAK TREES IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSES.

YES, SIR. YES, SIR. THAT'S JUST EVERYBODY LIKES TO HAVE A COUPLE TREES IN THEIR YARD.

SO ALL THE TREES THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO BRING, BRING ON SITE ARE GOING TO BE PLANTED ON SITE THEN.

THEY'RE NOT PLANTED AROUND TOWN.

NO, NO, THESE WILL BE ON SITE.

AND THAT WAY BY DOING THAT WE COMPLY WITH THE HERITAGE TREE ORDINANCE.

THANK YOU. IT MAY SEEM LIKE A SILLY QUESTION, BUT WE'VE BEEN DOWN THERE.

WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THESE TREES FOR FOR A WHILE NOW.

SO THERE'S SOME BIG, BIG TREES THERE.

YES, SIR. THERE ARE CECIL.

I REMEMBER THAT CONVERSATION.

IT WAS A IT GOT A LITTLE WARM IN HERE, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE YOU HAVE TO GET THE WHOLE ROUTE AND EVERYTHING OUT TO BUILD THE FOUNDATION.

YES, SIR. THAT'S TRUE.

SO DO WE HAVE ANY MOTIONS? ANY ACTIONS? I MOVE TO APPROVE THE THE THE DEVELOPERS AGREEMENT, THE REVISED ONE, WHATEVER.

JUDITH SAID. YEAH.

REVISED ONE. REVISED ONE.

SUBJECT TO THE REVIEW OF COUNCIL TO APPROVAL BY HIS BY LEGAL COUNSEL.

OKAY, SO I HAVE A MOTION BY MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER BOOTH, A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER ROBERTS.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? OKAY. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MR. WEAVER. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT, NOW MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER 15, DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 20240213-015,

[15. Discussion and possible action to approve Resolution No. 20240213-015 accepting the Preliminary Service and Assessment Plan (PSAP) and setting the Assessment Levy public hearing date for March 12, 2024, for the Riverwood Ranch North Public Improvement District.]

GO AHEAD AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF AGAIN.

FAMILIAR FACE. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR PRO TEM AND COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS ANDREA BARNES AND I'M WITH P3 WORKS.

AND AS OTIS INDICATED, TONIGHT'S ACTION IS SIMPLY TO ACCEPT THE PRELIMINARY SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN FOR THE RIVERWOOD RANCH NORTH PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.

AND SO, BY ACCEPTING THE PRELIMINARY SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN FOR THAT DISTRICT, YOU ARE NOT APPROVING THAT PLAN.

YOU'RE SIMPLY JUST ACCEPTING IT AND AUTHORIZING IT TO BE PLACED ON FILE FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION.

SHOULD A CITIZEN LIKE TO COME AND VIEW IT.

THE ACTUAL APPROVAL OF THE DOCUMENT FOR COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION WILL BE AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING IS HELD ON MARCH THE 12TH.

BUT THE DOCUMENT IS ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA ITEM REPORT AND IT SPELLS OUT ALL OF THE REQUIRED SECTIONS PER LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE CHAPTER 372, THAT A SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN ARE REQUIRED TO INCLUDE.

BUT THE MAIN EXHIBIT THAT YOU MAY WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT IS THE EXHIBIT THAT SETS OUT THE SERVICE PLAN, THE FIVE YEAR SERVICE PLAN.

[01:25:10]

IT SHOWS WHAT THE ASSESSMENT WILL BE.

PRINCIPAL INTEREST, ADDITIONAL INTEREST, ANY OTHER, FEES THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE ANNUAL ASSESSMENT FOR THE FIRST FIVE YEAR PERIOD.

AND AS MOST OF YOU ARE PROBABLY FAMILIAR, P3 WILL BE BACK BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL EVERY YEAR TO PRESENT AN ANNUAL UPDATE FOR YOU.

AND SO AS ONE YEAR DROPS OFF, ANOTHER YEAR WILL COME ON ON THAT FIVE YEAR SERVICE PLAN.

I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.

BUT AS I SAID AND OTIS SAID SIMPLY, THE APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION IS ACCEPTING THIS DOCUMENT AND CALLING THE PUBLIC HEARING.

[16. Discussion and possible action on the approval of the Reimbursement Agreement for the Riverwood Ranch North Public Improvement District.]

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.

AND I DID HAVE ANOTHER CITIZEN REQUESTING TO SPEAK BEFORE CITY COUNCIL, MR. WHITNEY. HOPKINS, WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADDRESS COUNCIL AGAIN OR.

YOU CHECKED OFF TWO ITEMS HERE, SO.

I WANT TO GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT, WELL, FOR THE RECORD, HE SAYS HE'S GOOD.

OKAY. DO WE HAVE ANYBODY SPEAKING? OKAY. MICHAEL.

MR. FOLEY. INTRODUCE YOURSELF.

GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL MICHAEL FOLEY WITH RIVERWAY.

ONE ITEM I WANTED TO DISCUSS THAT KIND OF PIGGYBACKS OFF OF OUR RESIDENTS CONCERN WAS BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE AMENITIES AND HARDSCAPE AND, WALKING TRAILS FOR OUR RESIDENTS.

AND PART OF THIS SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN AND REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT FOR SECTIONS THREE AND FOUR.

THERE IS SOME DISCUSSION WITH THE CITY ON NOT ALLOWING US TO INCLUDE THE WALKING TRAIL AND THE SIGNAGE AND THE TREES AND LANDSCAPING THAT BRIAN HAD PRESENTED EARLIER AS A PID EXPENSE.

I THINK THE CONCERN WAS THE CITY DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO MAINTAIN THE ITEMS, WHICH IS FAIR.

HOW WE DID IT IN SECTIONS ONE AND TWO WAS WE INCLUDED THE WALKING TRAIL AND ALL THE LANDSCAPE AND HARDSCAPE IN OUR PID.

BUT WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH OUR DEED RESTRICTIONS THAT THE HOA IS GOING TO MAINTAIN THOSE IN PERPETUITY.

SO THERE'S NO, WON'T EVER FALL BACK ON THE CITY.

SO OUR RESIDENTS PAY AN HOA FEE THAT MAINTAINS ALL OF THOSE EXPENSES.

FOR THE FUTURE SECTIONS, THERE WAS CONCERN ABOUT ALLOWING THESE TO BE IN OUR PIT AGAIN.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE SETTLED ON THE CURRENT SAP, BUT WE WOULD LIKE TO INCLUDE MORE AMENITIES FOR OUR RESIDENTS TO TO USE, WHICH IS THE LANDSCAPING AND THE WALKING TRAILS AND THE WET POND.

SO WE ARE ASKING THOSE TO BE CONSIDERED AS PID ELIGIBLE EXPENSES FOR SECTIONS THREE AND FOUR.

ANYTHING ELSE? NO, SIR.

I DON'T WANT TO INTERRUPT. THAT'S IT.

OKAY, SO ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. FOLEY OR DISCUSSION? WELL, THE CITY ATTORNEY WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY THE HARDSCAPE ITEMS THAT ARE BEING REFERENCED.

REFERENCED. AND THE HARDSCAPE ITEMS ARE FENCING, SIDEWALKS, STONE COLUMNS, A FLOATING FOUNTAIN AT THE PARK, WHICH INCLUDES THE ELECTRICAL AND THE IRRIGATION FOR THE FOUNTAIN AND BENCHES.

SO I WANT TO MAKE FENCING, SIDEWALKS, FLOATING STONE COLUMNS, STONE COLUMNS, FLOATING FOUNTAIN AT THE PARK, WHICH INCLUDES THE ELECTRICAL AND

[01:30:02]

THE IRRIGATION FOR THE FOUNTAIN AND BENCHES.

AND SO THEY'RE ASKING THAT THE PYD COVER THIS HARDSCAPING.

RIGHT. THEY WANT THE CITY TO PAY FOR THEM.

SIGNAGE. IS THAT IN THE HARDSCAPE SIGNAGE? THE SIGNAGE. MICHAEL.

SO IS THE WALKING TRAIL NOT ONE OF THE EXPENSES YOU'RE REFERRING TO? I DON'T THINK SO.

I MEAN, I GOT THIS LIST FROM P3, SO MICHAEL, LET'S LET'S CLARIFY IT.

SO AGAIN, IF YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF.

SURE. BRIAN GERARD WITH WITH THE RIVERWAY GROUP.

WE DID PROVIDE A DETAILED COST SUMMARY OR ESTIMATE ON THE HARDSCAPE ITEMS WHICH WHICH, DID INCLUDE ALL THE ITEMS THAT YOU MENTIONED.

AT FIRST THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION AS TO WHETHER THE MONUMENT SIGNAGE WOULD BE AN ELIGIBLE EXPENSE.

AND WE WE HAD SOME DISCUSSIONS ON THAT.

IT WAS APPROVED BY ENGINEERING.

AND THEN THERE WAS SOME CONCERNS WITH THE WITH THE MAINTENANCE AND THE OWNERSHIP.

WE PROVIDED SOME, GOALS OF WHAT WE DO IN HARRIS COUNTY REGARDING THE HOA, MAINTAINING THOSE.

AND THEN WE FOLLOWED UP WITH, RECENTLY REQUEST FOR THE DEED RESTRICTIONS THAT SHOWED THAT THAT AS MICHAEL MENTIONED, THE HOA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING ALL THE LANDSCAPE AND HARDSCAPE ITEMS IN PERPETUITY.

AND SO, AS ANDRE WAS TRYING TO FINALIZE THE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN, IT CAME UP AND IT WENT FROM NOT JUST THE SIGNAGE.

IT IT WENT ALL INTO THE INTO THE HARDSCAPE ITEMS, TOO, WHICH WAS A SURPRISE BECAUSE ON THE ON THE TOURS, AND FROM SECTION ONE, ALL OF THAT WERE WERE ELIGIBLE ITEMS AND REALLY THEY THEY SHOULD BE.

THAT'S A PRETTY COMMON THING FOR PIDS AS, AS PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS.

THOSE ARE THE KIND OF THINGS THE RESIDENTS WANT.

THEY WANT WALKING TRAILS. THEY WANT LANDSCAPING.

THEY WANT, YOU KNOW, BEAUTIFICATION AND COLUMNS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

SO I THINK WHAT WE WANTED TO ACCOMPLISH TONIGHT WAS TO TRY TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ALL ON THE ON THE SAME PAGE, REGARDING THAT, THOSE ELIGIBLE EXPENSES.

SO BUT WE DID PROVIDE A DETAILED BREAKDOWN ON WHAT ALL IS IN THERE.

SO IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT, I CAN TRY TO JUGGLE A NUMBER.

OKAY. SO I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND ALL OF COUNCIL THAT YOUR CITY ATTORNEY AND CITY MANAGEMENT DO NOT ALWAYS AGREE WITH EVERY CONCLUSION THAT'S DRAWN ABOUT DEVELOPMENTS.

SORRY TO STATE THE OBVIOUS.

NO, I I'VE.

THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS DEBATES.

SEEMS LIKE WHERE WE'RE, ONE SET OF INTERPRETATION IS NOT THE SAME AS SOMEBODY ELSE'S.

SO. TAG.

YOU'RE IT. OKAY, SO, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THE LIST OF ITEMS THAT JUDITH PRESENTED TO YOU ARE EXACTLY WHAT WAS PRESENTED IN THE ENGINEER'S REPORT.

BY THE DEVELOPER TO P3 WORKS, WHICH INCLUDED THE STONE ENTRY MARKER, WHICH, AS BRIAN SAID, HAD BEEN ELIMINATED PRETTY EARLY ON.

AND THAT WAS 31,485.

AND THEN IT INCLUDES A FIVE FOOT WIDE CONCRETE SIDEWALK FOR 52,001 24.

A NINE FOOT TALL, TWO BY TWO STONE COLUMNS.

FOR 59. SIX.

A FLOATING FOUNTAIN FOR 15.

ELECTRICAL OF 25.

AND THEN AN EIGHT FOOT TALL WOOD FENCE STAINED FOR 89 FIVE 60, AND THEN PARK BENCHES AND PADS FOR 14,000. AND IF YOU INCLUDE THE ENTRY MONUMENT MARKER, IT'S 286, SEVEN, 69 AND $0.80.

HOWEVER, THAT WAS ELIMINATED EARLY ON.

AND THAT BROUGHT THE THE TOTAL DOWN THAT MICHAEL FOLEY WAS REFERRING TO, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED AS HARDSCAPE AMOUNTS FOR 255, 284 AND $0.50.

SO $255,284.50.

NOW, I WILL SAY THAT THE CITY IS REQUIRED IN ORDER FOR THE PID TO PAY FOR THESE ITEMS AS PIT ELIGIBLE EXPENSES, THE COUNCIL HAS TO AUTHORIZE THEM AND YOU HAVE TO AGREE TO OWN THEM.

OTHERWISE THEY CANNOT BE INCLUDED AS PIT EXPENDITURES.

NOW SOMEONE ELSE CAN AGREE TO MAINTAIN THEM THROUGH AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY IF THAT'S SOMETHING THE CITY DESIRES TO DO.

[01:35:01]

BUT THE CITY MUST OWN THOSE ITEMS, OTHERWISE IT CAN'T BE PAID FOR WITH PIT DOLLARS.

SO IT'S REALLY UP TO THE COUNCIL.

COULD YOU CLARIFY HOW WE HAD SECTIONS ONE AND TWO SET UP? YES, YES. BRIAN HAD INDICATED THAT INCLUDED IN SECTIONS ONE AND TWO WERE SOME PARK FEATURES.

I DID NOT BRING ALL OF THOSE DETAILS WITH ME BECAUSE THAT'S IN MY RIVERWOOD RANCH FOLDER, NOT RIVERWOOD RANCH NORTH.

BUT I DID SEND THOSE TO, TO THE CITY SO THAT THEY COULD SEE THEM.

AND IT DID INCLUDE SOME PARK AMENITIES.

THEY WERE SOME OF THEM ARE SIMILAR.

SOME OF THEM ARE DIFFERENT. THEY'RE NOT EXACTLY THE SAME.

BUT RIVERWOOD RANCH DID INCLUDE SOME PARK AMENITIES IN IT.

SO. AND IT WAS LIKE 400 SOMETHING THOUSAND DOLLARS.

SO JUST UNDER 500,000, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY.

SO, WITH THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT, PARK AMENITIES, FOR INSTANCE.

YEAH, PARK AMENITIES CAN BE ANY NUMBER OF THINGS.

NO, NOT WHAT THEY COULD BE.

WHAT ARE THEY. OH, THAT THAT WILL HAVE TO BE ANSWERED BY THE DEVELOPER BECAUSE I DID NOT BRING THAT LIST WITH ME.

I MIGHT BE ABLE TO PULL IT UP ON MY PHONE.

I'M JUST CURIOUS.

SURE. LET ME PULL IT UP ON MY PHONE FOR YOU REAL QUICK.

AND WHEN YOU WERE SAYING THE SIGNAGE, I MEAN, I BELIEVE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE YOUR YOUR DEVELOPMENT MARQUEE.

IS THAT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT? THE ENTRY MONUMENTATION TO THE MICROPHONE, PLEASE.

EVERYTHING'S RECORDED. SO WE ASK THAT PEOPLE SPEAK INTO THE MICROPHONE.

BRIAN GERARD AGAIN.

BRIAN, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ENTRY MARQUEE AT THE, AT THE, AT THE YOUR DEVELOPMENT.

RIGHT. THAT IS ONE IT'S GOT YOUR NAME ON IT.

THAT'S ONE COMPONENT IS THE ENTRY MONUMENTATION, WHICH IS THE FIRST THING THAT PEOPLE SEE AS THEY COME IN.

WAS THE QUESTION, WHAT ARE THE PARK AMENITIES ON SECTION ONE? YES. SO THAT INCLUDED SIDEWALKS, LANDSCAPING, FENCING, BENCHES, THAT KIND OF STUFF.

BUT AREN'T THESE ITEMS OF A MARKETING NATURE THAT KIND OF HELP YOU PROPEL YOUR, DEVELOPMENT INTO SALES? I WOULD SAY THAT THERE ARE A COMPONENT OF CERTAINLY THEY HELP WITH MARKETING.

WHEN YOU HAVE A COMMUNITY THAT PEOPLE, FEEL, FEEL LIKE THEY WANT TO LIVE IN.

AND SO, BUT THEY'RE REALLY AN IMPROVEMENT TO THE, TO THE COMMUNITY.

AND SINCE IT'S ALL FUNDED BY THE FOLKS THAT ARE LIVING WITHIN THAT IMPROVEMENT AREA, THAT IS THE NUMBER ONE ITEM THAT THAT I AM TOLD FROM BUILDERS AND HOMEOWNERS, THAT THEY WANT ARE THINGS LIKE WALKING TRAILS, SITTING AREAS, ENTRY MONUMENTATION, AND UPGRADED FENCING AND, AND THOSE, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT SAYS, WOULD YOU BUILD A SUBDIVISION WITHOUT AN ENTRY, MARQUEE OR SIGNAGE? SURE. THIS IS CUSTOMARY.

THIS IS WELL DONE.

YES, SIR. YOU CAN, I'M ASKING IF YOU HAVE.

I HAVE, YEAH.

IF YOU WEREN'T, IF YOU WEREN'T GETTING COMPENSATED FOR THE SIGNAGE, YOU WOULDN'T PUT IT IN.

SO JUST TO MENTION THAT REAL QUICKLY, THAT'S SOMETHING WE ARE OKAY WITH GIVING UP AS A PAGE ELIGIBLE EXPENSE.

IF YOU LISTEN TO JUDITH, WE DROPPED THAT.

NO, NO I DID I HEARD I HEARD THAT, BUT I'M JUST STARTING FROM THE BEGINNING.

GOTCHA. WELL, YOU WEREN'T HERE, TANNER, BUT I'D LIKE TO REMIND YOU THAT, FOR AT LEAST CATCH YOU UP, THAT WE HAD PLANNED TO DO A LOT MORE THAN JUST THIS.

WE HAD A PARK THAT WE SUBMITTED TO THE CITY THAT WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED IN LIEU OF PAYING PARK FEES.

WE HAD A PLAYGROUND WITH A PICNIC SHELTER AND A BUNCH OF OTHER THINGS WE WANTED TO DO.

THE CITY SAID THAT THEY THOUGHT THAT OUR RESIDENTS WOULD BE MORE OF A BURDEN ON THE EXISTING PARK INFRASTRUCTURE, SO THEY WANT US TO PAY THE PARK FEE IN LIEU OF ACTUALLY BUILDING A PARK. SO NOT ONLY DID WE PAY THE PARK FEES, WE ALSO ADDED ADDITIONAL AMENITIES ON TOP OF THIS, THAT THE RESIDENTS CAN USE, WHICH IS THE WALKING TRAIL AND ALL OF THAT COSTS, YOU KNOW, A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY.

SO I THINK WE SPENT CLOSE TO 500,000 ON WHAT'S EXISTING ON IT.

BUT YES, IN SECTIONS ONE AND TWO, THE ENTRY MONUMENT WAS ONE OF THE COSTS.

THINKING ABOUT IT AND DISCUSSING IT WITH CITY STAFF, I CAN SEE THAT NOT BEING ONE NECESSARY FOR GOING FORWARD.

SO WE DROPPED THAT. BUT I DO THINK THE IMPROVEMENT OF A DETENTION POND BEAUTIFYING IT RATHER THAN JUST BUILDING A DIGGING A HOLE LIKE OVER WHAT WE DID IN ROSEWOOD IS DEFINITELY AN IMPROVEMENT FOR THE PUBLIC, AND IT'S WORTH AN EXPENSE THAT RESIDENTS WOULD PAY FOR.

OKAY. YEAH, I. I CAN SEE.

I CAN SEE THE SIDEWALK.

MAYBE. I MEAN, IT SEEMS

[01:40:07]

TO ME AS IF, AS IF THESE ADDITIONAL ASSESSMENTS ARE BECOMING.

THIS WAS NEVER A THING BEFORE.

THIS IS BECOMING A THING WHERE YOU CAN, YOU CAN, YOU CAN SPEAK BY STEPPING UP TO THE PODIUM HERE IN JUST A SECOND.

THERE'S, ANYWAY, I MEAN, THIS THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE PART OF YOUR YOUR DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

I JUST SO.

YES, SIR, IT WAS INCLUDED IN OUR ORIGINAL REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT THAT CALLS FOR HARDSCAPES AND THE PLANS TO TO DO THESE WALKING TRAILS.

AND I'M GOING TO TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, I DON'T I DON'T PARTICULARLY AGREE WITH THE FACT THAT THERE WASN'T A PARK INCLUDED IN THE COMMUNITY, THAT THAT'S NOT SOMETHING I WOULD HAVE BEEN I WOULD HAVE AGREED TO.

OKAY. TANNER, I'D I'D BE CAREFUL.

AND I'M NOT SCOLDING YOU.

I'M JUST SAYING I WOULDN'T TAKE EVERYTHING MR. FOLEY SAYS AS THE GOSPEL.

SO I'M ONLY I'M ONLY I'M ONLY REFERRING BACK TO WHAT HE SAID.

I KNOW, I KNOW, I'M JUST SAYING.

I'M JUST SAYING. WHEN MR. FOLEY REPRESENTS THE NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN HIM AND RIVERWOOD AND THE CITY UNDER.

I WOULD TAKE A LOT OF GRAIN OF SALT WITH THAT.

YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND HE'S HE PRESENTS HIMSELF IN A CERTAIN ANGLE OR THAT MAY NOT BE CONSISTENT WITH THE ACTUAL FACTS.

SO, SO TO REDIRECT THE REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT THAT IS IN YOUR PACKET IS THE ONE THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY AND CITY MANAGEMENT.

IT EXCLUDES THE EXPENSES THEY'RE ASKING FOR.

SO I MEAN, YOU CAN EITHER CONTINUE TO ASK ABOUT THOSE EXPENSES OR YOU CAN JUST APPROVE THE ONE THAT EXCLUDES THEM.

IT'S ALREADY IN THERE.

YEAH. I JUST DON'T SEE US.

I WANT RIVERWOOD RANCH TO HAVE THE BEST SUBDIVISION THEY CAN POSSIBLY HAVE.

BUT WHO IS RESPONSIBLE IS THE REAL QUESTION IS IT THE CITY OR IS IT THE DEVELOPER AND THE PROMISES YOU MADE IN DEVELOPMENT? I THINK WE SHOULD UPHOLD OUR END OF THE BARGAIN.

MR. BOOTH HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT.

WE WILL SIGN AND MAKE AN AGREEMENT.

WE WE STAY TRUE TO OUR WORD.

ALL RIGHT. BUT WHEN WE REACH BEYOND WHAT WOULD NORMALLY FALL UNDER THE SCOPE OF A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT, WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FLOATING FOUNTAINS, STONE COLUMNS.

THAT'S A REALLY TOUGH PILL TO SWALLOW, IN MY OPINION.

AND THAT FALLS BACK TO THE DEVELOPER, AND YOU ALL PUT IN THE PRODUCT THAT YOU'RE SELLING TO YOUR, YOU KNOW, PURCHASERS.

THAT'S WHERE I FALL ON IT.

I'M, I'M I'M WITH TANNER.

I COULD SEE SIDEWALKS, BUT AFTER THAT I DON'T SEE WHERE THE PUBLIC, THE GENERALIZED CITY OF ANGLETON BENEFITS FROM HAVING TO OWN A FLOATING FOUNTAIN, OWN A ROCK, STONE COLUMN, OWN FENCING.

I JUST DON'T SEE HOW THAT MAKES ANY SENSE FOR THE CITY.

AND I HATE TO BURDEN ITEMS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TIED INTO THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT.

CORRECT IT.

LOOK, THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT Y'ALL NEGOTIATED, THAT WAS Y'ALL DIDN'T SEPARATED IT.

WE WE WENT THROUGH THAT WHOLE ISSUE WITH BECOMING A SEPARATE PID NOW ON THE NORTH SIDE.

AND SO NOW WE'RE ADDRESSING THAT ONE I DON'T WANT TO RELITIGATE.

THAT'S THE PAST.

I KNOW YOU WANT TO USE IT AS A STANDARD FOR FUTURE.

THAT WAS PROBABLY DONE TO HELP SPUR GROWTH IN THE CITY.

BUT I THINK RIGHT NOW WE'RE NOT WE DON'T WE'RE NOT IN THAT POSITION ANYMORE.

IT'S A DIFFERENT THE CALENDAR HAS MOVED FORWARD.

AND SO I JUST DON'T THINK I'M COMFORTABLE WITH OBLIGATING THE CITY FOR IN PERPETUITY, OWNING A STONE COLUMN AND A FLOATING FOUNTAIN AND WHATEVER ELSE. SO THAT'S WHERE I THE ISSUE.

BRIAN, MAYBE YOU CAN SPEAK ON THIS MORE CLEARLY.

THAT MEANS WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BUILD ANYTHING IN THE DETENTION AREA.

CORRECT. IF UNLESS THE CITY WERE TO OWN IT.

BUT THE MAINTENANCE OF IT IS A DIFFERENT CONVERSATION I THINK WE'RE HAVING.

RIGHT. YEAH. IF IF I MAY WELL, LET'S JUST USE YOUR EXAMPLE THOUGH, AND MAYBE IT'S MY LAWYER HAT, BUT NOT SOME CHILD WALKS INTO THAT POND AND DROWNS. WE OWN IT.

YOU DON'T THINK THE CITY IS GETTING SUED? OF COURSE WE ARE.

I MEAN, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ALL SORTS OF LIABILITY.

[01:45:03]

SO WHY? WHY WOULD WE TAKE ON A POND OR A FLOATING DEVICE IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT POND MAY BE SEEN AS AN ATTRACTIVE NUISANCE TO SOME CHILD.

THAT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME.

I BELIEVE, WELL, A COUPLE OF ISSUES.

I KNOW THAT AS A PUBLIC ENTITY, THERE'S PROBABLY SOME LIMITS OF YOUR LIABILITY AND, TYPICALLY, THOSE THOSE PUBLIC FACILITIES ARE DEDICATED TO THE TO THE MUNICIPALITIES AND THEN THROUGH AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT OR MAINTAINED BY THE BY THE BY THE HOA.

THINGS LIKE THE ROADS, THINGS LIKE THE STORM SEWERS, THESE ARE ALL THESE ARE ALL ITEMS THAT ARE THAT ARE NOW THE CITY'S PROPERTY.

I MEAN, YOU COULD ESSENTIALLY MAKE THE SAME ARGUMENT ABOUT STREETS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

ONE THING I DID WANT TO POINT OUT ABOUT THE, THE IMPROVEMENTS, AND ALTHOUGH IT'S CALLED A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT AND YOU MENTIONED, WELL, WHAT'S THE BENEFIT CITYWIDE? KEEP IN MIND THAT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE PAYING THIS ASSESSMENT ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE BUYING A HOME HERE AND NO ONE ELSE IN THE CITY.

SO, THAT'S AN IMPORTANT DISTINCTION THAT THESE FOLKS ARE, ARE, ESSENTIALLY GETTING A LOT FOR A SUBSIDIZED AMOUNT BECAUSE OF, BECAUSE OF THIS FINANCING.

AND, AND THEY ARE PAYING FOR THAT.

AND SO, THESE ARE ITEMS THAT, THAT THEY ARE IN, THEY ARE IN SUPPORT OF TYPICALLY IT'S THEIR COMMUNITY.

AND, YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE THINGS THEY CAN SEE.

RIGHT. AND SO, WE'VE, WE'VE HEARD FROM ONE RESIDENT THAT CERTAINLY THEY, THEY, THEY LIKE WHAT THEY HAVE AND THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE.

AND WE WOULD LIKE TO DO MORE.

AND THAT'S HOW WE WERE PROCEEDING WITH THE ASSUMPTION THAT, THAT THESE WERE, WERE AUTHORIZED IMPROVEMENTS.

AND SO WE'RE HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANY, ANY LEGAL LANGUAGE.

WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO UPDATE OUR, DEED RESTRICTIONS, HOWEVER THE CITY DEEMS APPROPRIATE, WHETHER IT'S INDEMNIFICATION OR OTHERWISE. AND, SEE HOW WE CAN JUST MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

SO I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR.

OUR WHEN YOU USE THE WORD SUBSIDIZED, THE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE SUBSIDIZING.

WHO ARE THEY SUBSIDIZING.

SO THE PIT ASSESSMENT IS IS AN ADDITIONAL TAX SO TO SPEAK.

YEAH. THEY'RE TAXED TO THEY'RE TAXED.

AND WHO DO THEY SUBSIDIZE.

YES. WELL THEY'RE GETTING A LOWER LOT PRICE AND SUBSEQUENTLY A LOWER HOME PRICE.

THEY'RE ESSENTIALLY FINANCING YOU KNOW OTHERWISE THIS DEVELOPMENT WOULD NOT BE WHO ARE THEY FINANCING? THEY'RE FINANCING THE PURCHASE OF THEIR OF THEIR HOME AND THEIR LOT.

THEY'RE SUBSIDIZING YOU, THE DEVELOPER.

RIGHT. OTHERWISE, EXACTLY WOULD NOT BE.

SO YOU ACT LIKE I'M SORRY.

I'LL STOP. I DON'T THINK THE CITY NEEDS TO OWN A COLUMN.

I DON'T THINK THE CITY NEEDS TO OWN A MARQUEE SIGN IN FRONT.

THERE'S SEVERAL AROUND TOWN THAT ARE THAT ARE THE CITY DOESN'T OWN.

WE DON'T NEED TO GO INTO. TO MAINTAIN.

THAT'S WHAT I'M JUST. I DON'T THINK SO.

NO, WE DON'T HAVE ANY INTENTION FOR THE CITY TO EVER MAINTAIN ANY OF THAT.

I HEARD THE TERM OWNING THINGS.

SO THAT'S WE OUGHT TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN OWNERSHIP AND COUNCIL MEMBER.

THE ONLY REASON YOU HAVE TO OWN IT IS BECAUSE WE HAVE TO BUILD THESE IN YOUR RIGHT OF WAYS.

IT'S GOING IN THE RIGHT OF WAY, AND IT'S GOING IN THE DETENTION RESERVE THAT WE HAVE TO DEDICATE TO THE CITY ANYWAYS.

SO EVEN EVEN IF IT'S A PIT ELIGIBLE EXPENSE OR NOT, WE'RE BUILDING IN LAND THAT'S GOING TO BE DEDICATED TO THE CITY.

SO IT WILL BE OWNED BY Y'ALL, BUT NO INTENTION TO HAVE Y'ALL EVER MAINTAIN IT.

THAT'S HOW WE DID IT IN SECTION ONE.

SO IN SECTION ONE, THIS WAS OUR DETENTION POND.

ALL OF THIS WAS CITY RIGHT OF WAY.

WE HAD TO DEDICATE THIS WHOLE THING.

WELL, WE DIDN'T WANT TO JUST GIVE YOU A UGLY HOLE.

SO WE WANTED TO BUILD SOME IMPROVEMENTS IN CITY OWNED LAND.

IT WAS CITY OWNED LAND, REGARDLESS IF WE BUILT THIS OR NOT.

SO WE'RE BUILDING THESE IN THE CITY DETENTION, BUT MAINTAINING IT WITH THE HOA IN SECTIONS ONE AND TWO.

AND THAT'S ALL WE WANT TO DO IN SECTIONS THREE AND FOUR.

WE JUST WANT TO DO THE SAME THING.

WE WANT TO MAKE IT LOOK NICE.

WE DON'T WANT TO JUST DIG A HOLE.

WE WANT TO PUT SOME FOUNTAIN.

WE WANT TO PUT SOME. WALKING TRAILS ARE DISPERSED AMONGST THE LOCALS.

WHY IS THERE A NEED FOR SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS IN THIS SITUATION?

[01:50:01]

IT'S NO DIFFERENT THAN ANY THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

ANY OTHER COSTS THAT YOU HAVE WITH THE RAY THAT ARE RELATED TO YOUR DEVELOPMENT? WHY ARE THEY NOT CAPTURED IN THE LOT COST? WELL, WELL THERE'S.

MIND YOU, I'VE BEEN IN THIS INDUSTRY BEFORE.

WE DIDN'T. WE DIDN'T HAVE THIS STUFF.

WELL, THE I WOULD SAY THE PRIMARY REASON IS THE ESCALATION OF COSTS, THE ESCALATION OF COSTS OF LAND AND INFRASTRUCTURE HAS ALL DRIVEN THE COST OF ASTRONOMICALLY, WHERE IT'S VERY HARD TO HAVE A PROFITABLE, FEASIBLE DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT THE PUBLIC FINANCING COMPONENT.

BUT ISN'T THAT WHAT'S HAPPENING WHEN THEY'RE PURCHASING THE LOT? THE LOT IN THE HOUSE? THIS IS JUST A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT THAT'S TACKED ON THE END OF IT.

YEAH, BUT THEY'RE ABLE TO SUBSIDIZE THE WORD SUBSIDIZE PAID A LOT, THE PREMIUM OF THE LOT PRICE OVER A PERIOD OF TIME.

AND INSTEAD OF ALL UP FRONT.

YES, SIR. THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE GETTING.

BUT. YEAH, BUT IT'S, COUNCIL.

I HAVE A REQUEST TO SPEAK FROM SAMANTHA ERVIN.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME FORWARD REAL QUICK? YES. I'M SO THAT ARROGANT.

SO I SAY IT'S A 55 MINUTE LOOP.

SO I KNOW, LIKE, WE'RE GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE WHOLE TRYING TO BUILD PARKS AND GATES AND KEEP EVERYTHING COMFORTABLE FOR THE KIDS.

I HAVE A KID MYSELF.

YOU GO TO ANGLETON JUNIOR HIGH.

SO MY CONCERN IS THAT OUR HOA IS TECHNICALLY WHAT I WAS TOLD FROM THE PROPERTY MANAGER THAT OUR HOA IS PAYING FOR THE POND, THE LIGHTING THAT'S OUT THERE, THE STREETS, LIGHTS AND ALL THAT STUFF.

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT IT BELONGED TO THE CITY UNTIL TODAY.

AND SO I WANT MY SON TO BE COMFORTABLE.

WHEN HE PLAYS. HE PLAYS OUTSIDE ON THE STREETS WITH HIS FRIENDS, ALONG WITH EVERYBODY, ALL THE OTHER KIDS.

WHEN I'M COMING HOME FROM THE STORE OR FROM THE GAS STATION, IT'S KIDS OUT THERE PLAYING, PLAYING IN THE STREETS FROM AGES THREE, TWO YEARS OLD, ALL THE WAY UP UNTIL HIGH SCHOOL.

AND SO I WANT, LIKE I SAID, I WANT MY SON TO BE COMFORTABLE.

I WOULD LIKE A PARK INSIDE THE SUBDIVISION IF Y'ALL CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN.

I WOULD LOVE THAT.

I FEEL THAT BECAUSE WE'RE PAYING SO MUCH ON OUR HOA, THAT I FEEL THAT IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS A NEED FOR US TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR KIDS ARE SAFE WHEN THEY GO OUTSIDE SAYING THE SAME THING FOR Y'ALL.

Y'ALL WANT YOUR KIDS TO GO OUTSIDE AND BE COMFORTABLE, CORRECT? Y'ALL GOT GRANDKIDS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

Y'ALL WANT Y'ALL GRANDKIDS TO NOT BE ON THE STREETS PLAYING OR NOT PLAYING BASKETBALL WHEN CARS ARE DRIVING PAST, AND WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE KIDS TO MOVE OUT THE WAY.

SO, I'M NOT A DEVELOPER.

I WORK FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS.

AND SO LIKE I SAID, I WANT MY CHILD TO BE COMFORTABLE THE SAME WAY Y'ALL WOULD WANT YOUR KIDS TO BE COMFORTABLE AS WELL.

AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.

AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW, WE'RE NOT.

WE'RE NOT. THAT'S NOT REALLY THE TOPIC OF CONVERSATION HERE.

WE'RE REALLY ARGUING ABOUT HOW HOW, THESE DEVELOPMENTS ARE STRUCTURED AND THE AND THE WAY THAT, THAT, ANCILLARY COSTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT ARE DISTRIBUTED AMONGST THE LOT COST, AND THEN SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS.

SO IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, I MEAN.

IT'S, IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT THAT KIND OF A SITUATION WHERE, WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT HAVING STREET LIGHTS CUT OFF OR, OR, YOU KNOW, AN UNSAFE SITUATION FOR CHILDREN.

THAT'S, THAT'S THAT'S NOT THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT I BELIEVE IS, IS IS A CONCERN.

BECAUSE I WAS LISTENING YOU HAD ASKED HIM A QUESTION ABOUT, WELL, WHY DIDN'T COME UP INSIDE THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN WHEN IT WAS WHEN THEY FIRST STARTED LIKE DEVELOPMENT, THE, THE PLAN, THE, I GUESS THE OUTLINING OR WHATEVER.

AND WHEN I FIRST MOVED OUT THERE, I DIDN'T SEE AS MANY KIDS.

AND SO IT STARTED GROWING AS THEY STARTED BUILDING MORE HOMES.

AND SO THAT WAS I HAD HEARD THAT.

AND SO I WAS LIKE, WELL, I GUESS THEY DIDN'T THEY DIDN'T THINK THAT THE THE AREA IS GOING TO GROW LIKE IT IS THAT IT'S GOING NOW.

AND SO THEY, THEY'VE DONE THIS BEFORE.

THEY KNOW THAT YOU WERE YOU TOLD THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE A PARK WHEN YOU BOUGHT INTO THE SUBDIVISION.

I WAS TOLD A LOT OF STUFF.

YES. SO I WAS MISLED.

SO YEAH, I CAME FROM PEARLAND TO ANGLETON BECAUSE IT WAS CROWDED OUT THERE.

BUT YES, I WAS TOLD A LOT OF STUFF WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE HOUSE.

SO WHEN I FIRST SEEN THE AREA AS WELL.

SO WHEN YOU, WHEN YOU PURCHASED A HOME, WHAT WERE YOUR WHAT WERE YOUR EXPECTATIONS OR WHAT WERE YOU, LED TO BELIEVE WITH THE AMENITIES WOULD BE WITH THE PURCHASE? WELL, THAT WAS GOING TO BE A PARK FOR THE KIDS THAT I THINK I DID SEE THE LAKE, MORE SO LIKE A HOA, BUT IT WAS GOING TO BE A PARK.

IT WAS THEY WAS GOING TO HAVE AMENITIES.

SO, YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD.

[01:55:01]

THAT'S WHAT I WAS LED TO.

SO THAT'S WHY I BOUGHT IN THE AREA.

OKAY. WELL LET ME JUST SAY THIS.

I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

THANK YOU FOR COMING TO ANGLETON.

THANK YOU. CHEERS. NOW WE WANT PEOPLE THAT WANT TO BE HERE.

SO. AND WE APPRECIATE YOU SHOWING UP TO CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE HEAR FROM PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE LIVING OUT THERE, SO WE KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

I SECOND THAT YES, SIR.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

BUT AT THE ORIGINAL MEETING THAT TOOK PLACE ON MAY 24TH, 2022.

AGAIN, THANK YOU SWAGIT FOR TRANSCRIPT.

AND THE ORIGINAL ISSUE WAS THE PID IS ONLY GOING TO USE FOR PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE BECAUSE THIS IS A PRIVATE PARK AMENITY.

WE ARE NOT USING IT TO REIMBURSE ANY PART WE BUILD.

AND THEN THE MOTION WAS MADE TO DENY BECAUSE IT WAS GOING TO BE A PRIVATE PARK, WANTING TO USE PUBLIC FUNDS.

WE CAN'T REALLY HEAR YOU.

SORRY. I'M SORRY.

SORRY. MY THROAT IS SO MESSED UP.

I'M SO SORRY. GRAB A MICROPHONE.

ON MAY 24TH, 2022 WAS WHEN THIS.

HOLD ON CHRIS, YOU CAN BRING A MICROPHONE.

HELP! SORRY.

ON MAY 24TH, 2022 IS WHEN THIS WAS ORIGINALLY BROUGHT TO US FROM THE DEVELOPER AND THE ISSUE WAS I JUST LOST MY PLACE.

SO THE MOTION WAS MADE TO NOT CREDIT A PRIVATE PARK USING PUBLIC FUNDS.

SO THE PID IS BASICALLY THE CITY PAYING FOR A PRIVATE PARK THAT WOULD BE MAINTAINED BY THE HOA.

AND THAT'S WHERE THE ISSUE LIES.

WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS THE DEVELOPER BUILD THIS ON THEIR OWN, USING FUNDS FROM LOTS SOLD, HOUSES SOLD, AND THEY'RE TRYING TO WRAP IT INTO PUBLIC FUNDS.

SO WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE A PARK THERE AS WELL.

BUT THE ISSUE LIES IN THE FUNDING ASPECT.

I MAY HAVE MISSED THIS, BUT, MICHAEL, DID YOU PAY YOUR PARKLAND DEDICATION FOR THIS, OR WAS THIS.

YOU DID? YES, SIR. SO IT WAS A COMBINATION OF IT BEING A PRIVATE OR PUBLIC PARK.

AND ON THE PRIVATE SIDE, IT WAS OKAY.

WE WERE WE WERE OKAY DOING THAT IF THE CITY WAS WILLING TO WAIVE THE PARK FEES.

BUT I DIDN'T KNOW.

RIGHT. YEAH, BUT WE'VE ONLY DONE IT FOR ONE.

AND THIS IS, THIS WAS FOR PHASE ONE AND TWO.

RIGHT. SO. YES, SIR.

NOW WE'RE IN PHASE TWO.

PHASE THREE FOR THREE, THREE AND FOUR.

YEAH. BUT THE SECOND HALF OF THE LOT ARE YOU PAYING.

ARE YOU, ARE YOU TRYING TO NOT PAY THE PARKLAND DEDICATION AGAIN AND INSTEAD BUILD THE PARK? I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND.

NO, SIR. WE'RE FINANCING MECHANISM HERE.

WE'RE GOING TO PAY THE.

WE'RE GOING TO PAY THE PARK FEE AGAIN.

WE JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SOME SORT OF AMENITIES THAT COULD BE REIMBURSED.

WE WOULD LOVE TO DO ANOTHER PARK PAVILION THAT COULD BE REIMBURSED, OR A WAIVER OF THE PARK FEES AND GO BUILD THE PARK.

BUT I THINK WE'RE PAST THAT DISCUSSION AT THIS POINT.

SO NOW WE'RE JUST ASKING FOR SOME CONSIDERATION TO GO BUILD, YOU KNOW, BEAUTIFICATION OF THE POND AND HAVE THOSE MAINTAINED BY THE HOA.

SO WHEN YOU SAID YOU'D LOVE TO, WHERE WOULD YOU PUT IT THAT? WELL, BECAUSE THIS IS A SEPARATE PIT.

WE CAN'T GO PUT IT ON.

THE FRONT PART. RIGHT.

I KNOW, BUT YOU SAID YOU WOULD LOVE TO.

SO WHERE WOULD YOU PUT IT? BRIAN AND I WERE TALKING AT THE VERY SOUTH END OF THAT DRAWING RIGHT THERE.

THERE'S ENOUGH FOR A SMALL, LITTLE COVERED PAVILION.

BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU PRESENTED TO US.

NO, SIR, THAT'S NOT WHAT WE PRESENTED.

OKAY, SO BECAUSE WE'RE PAYING, I MEAN, WE'RE PAYING THE PARK FEE.

SO THIS IS JUST ABOVE AND BEYOND, BEAUTIFICATION OF THE POND.

WELL, MR. FOLEY, THE PROBLEM IS, IS THAT AT SOME POINT YOU HAVE TO BE COMPETITIVE WITH THE SUBDIVISIONS THAT ARE GOING IN AROUND YOU, AND YOU LOOK AT WINDROSE GREEN AND THE AMENITIES THEY'RE PUTTING IN.

YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THESE OTHER SUBDIVISIONS, LIKE WHAT I THINK AUSTIN COLONY HAS PROPOSED AND SOME OF THE OTHERS, IT YOU WANT TO BE COMPETITIVE.

SO BEING YOUR BEST INTEREST TO PUT IN THAT PARK OR AT LEAST SOME AMENITIES.

DO YOU KNOW HOW, WINDROSE GREEN IS DOING THAT PARK? I DON'T THEY HAVE A MUD.

I'M NOT SURE HOW THEY'RE.

BUT YOU HAVE A PIT, RIGHT? SO. SO YOU'RE STILL GETTING A FINANCING MECHANISM.

YOU'RE JUST NOT GOING TO. WHAT? WE'RE SITTING HERE SLICING BETWEEN EACH OTHER IS WHO'S GOING TO GET THE CREDIT FOR THE FOR THE PARK? ARE YOU GOING TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THAT OR ARE YOU JUST GOING TO TAKE THAT OUT OF YOUR CURRENT ASSESSMENT AND YOUR LOT SALES?

[02:00:02]

RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, CORRECT.

PART OF OUR REASON FOR BRINGING THIS UP FOR DISCUSSION WAS WE WERE TOLD THESE WEREN'T GOING TO BE PIT ELIGIBLE EXPENSES BASICALLY LAST THURSDAY, AND WE'VE ALREADY SOLD THE LOTS AND WE'VE ALREADY DONE ALL DESIGN.

AND IN OUR CHURCH PLAN, THEY ARE CONSIDERED ELIGIBLE EXPENSES.

AND THEY WERE FOR SECTIONS ONE AND TWO.

SO IT'S JUST KIND OF HITTING THE END ZONE FOR US.

SO WE DIDN'T FACTOR HAVING TO PAY FOR THESE COSTS INTO THE LOT SALES OR ANY OF THAT.

IT WAS JUST KIND OF A LAST MINUTE TRIGGER ON THAT.

SO IT TOOK US BY SURPRISE.

ALL RIGHT. SO IS THAT LIKE A LEGAL ISSUE THEN BETWEEN YOU AND THE PERSON WHO'S REVIEWING IT FOR YOU? SORRY. I MEAN, ISN'T THAT A DISCREPANCY WITHIN YOUR OWN WHOEVER'S REVIEWING YOUR DOCUMENTS? I MEAN, YOU'RE ASKING US TO.

HEY, THIS IS THE WAY IT WAS BEFORE, SO WE JUST ASSUME THIS IS THE WAY IT WAS.

AGAIN, WE DID NOT ASSUME IT BECAUSE IT WAS PART OF OUR ORIGINAL REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT THAT HARDSCAPES WOULD BE APPROVED.

AND IT WAS. IT'S PART OF OUR TERM PLAN, WHICH ENCOMPASSES THIS, THESE TWO SECTIONS, THAT IT WAS AN EXPENSE.

SO I GUESS THE PROBLEM THAT THAT WE HAVE RIGHT HERE IS THAT WE'VE GOT A PORTION OF THE COMMUNITY THAT SHOWED UP FOR THEIR SUBDIVISION THAT WANTS AMENITIES WITHIN WITHIN THAT DEVELOPMENT.

YOU NEED MONEY.

I MEAN, THAT'S BOTTOM LINE, RIGHT? I WOULD SUGGEST YOU GET WITH THE COMMUNITY AND FIGURE OUT A PLAN TO PRESENT TO THE CITY THAT WOULD BE PALATABLE FOR US AND THAT THEY WOULD BE IN AGREEMENT WITH.

I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER WAY BECAUSE WE'RE WE'RE ARGUING ABOUT WE'RE SITTING HERE ARGUING ABOUT SOMETHING THAT, THAT YOU MAY NOT DEVELOP MONEY THAT YOU NEED AND A CITIZENRY THAT MAY NOT BE HAPPY WITH.

THE SITUATION.

YOU SAID A PAVILION, AND I DON'T I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S GOING TO SATISFY WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT.

YEAH. UNFORTUNATELY WE CAN'T GO BACK TO SECTIONS ONE AND TWO BECAUSE I DID I WOULDN'T I BUT BUT BUT DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT SECTIONS THREE AND FOUR HADN'T BEEN BUILT YET. I JUST DROVE BY THERE THE OTHER DAY.

NO, IT'S ALL BEEN BUILT AND CLEARED.

I MEAN, IT'S BEEN DESIGNED AND THEY'RE UNDER CONSTRUCTION, SO WE HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF ROOM TO PLAY WITH OF THAT DESIGN THAT TRAPS IS HOLDING.

IF WE SHOWED YOU THE PLAN EARLIER, THE GREEN SPACE IS VERY LIMITED ABOUT WHAT WE CAN DO.

BUT YES, WE'RE HAPPY TO INCORPORATE OTHER IDEAS AND INCLUDE MORE INTO THAT SPACE THAT WE CAN.

I MEAN, WE'D LOVE TO DO THAT.

SO IF WE CAN GET IT A PAVILION IN THERE.

SO SOME KIND OF COVERED SHADE WITH, SOME BENCHES.

THAT'S WHAT WHITNEY AND I DISCUSSED EARLIER.

I MEAN, THE MORE WE CAN GET FOR OUR RESIDENTS, THE BETTER.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE TO DISCUSS WITH YOU GUYS TODAY.

HOW CAN WE IMPROVE THIS TO GIVE A BETTER LIVING SITUATION FOR OUR RESIDENTS? THAT'S ALL WE WANT. AND I THINK WE BOTH WANT THAT SO.

WELL, I THINK WE BOTH WANT THAT.

I THINK WE HAVE A HUGE DISAGREEMENT ON WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT.

YEAH, THAT'S THAT'S THE BIG QUESTION.

THAT'S THAT'S IT'S NOT IT'S NOT.

DO WE WANT IT. SURE.

WE WANT TO MAKE IT THE BEST LIVABLE CONDITION FOR THE RESIDENTS.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S I KNOW THIS GOES WAY BACK AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT PARKLAND DEDICATION FEES AND ALL THAT SORT OF STUFF AND, AND OR JUST LITERALLY SETTING OUT PARKS TO MEET OUR STANDARDS, WHICH YOU'VE CHOSEN NOT TO DO.

OKAY. THAT'S PART OF YOUR DEVELOPMENT.

YOU CHOSE NOT TO DEVELOP PARKS THAT ARE STANDARDS.

SO IN LIEU OF DOING THAT, YOU DID PARKLAND DEDICATION FEES AND YOU'VE DRESSED UP SOME DRAINAGE DITCHES.

I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE. YOU'VE DRESSED THEM UP, WHICH IS SMART.

I MEAN, IT'S WHAT IT'S WHAT PEOPLE DO.

I'VE BEEN IN DEVELOPMENTS ALL ACROSS BRAZORIA COUNTY AND SEEN VERY SIMILAR.

I DO WANT TO SAY REALLY QUICKLY, THOUGH, I, I, WE DID PROPOSE TO BUILD THE PARKS TO SPECIFICATION AND I'M NOT I KNOW YOU SAID TAKE WHAT I'M SAYING WITH A GRAIN OF SALT, BUT YOU CAN ASK MEGAN.

SHE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BETTER SERVED THAT TO SPEND THE MONEY IN OTHER PLACES AROUND THE CITY THAN FOR US TO BUILD A PARK.

OKAY, WHICH IS FAIR.

I MEAN, SO THAT'S HOW WE GOT TO THIS POINT TODAY.

POINT IS, IS, IS WE'RE COMING BACK TO THE ISSUE OF WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR WHO PAYS OR WHO PAYS.

AND THEN WE I, I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF OWNING.

GOODNESS GRACIOUS, HOW LONG EVER THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL LAST AND HOPEFULLY IT FOREVER.

[02:05:05]

AND COMING UP WITH SOME SORT OF AGREEMENT TO MAINTAIN ITS.

I MEAN YOU START HANDCUFFING THE FUTURE WHEN YOU START DOING THAT AND THAT THAT THAT CAUSES ME TO HAVE CONCERN.

I UNDERSTAND THE HESITATION THERE, BUT IF YOU TAKE THAT MANDATE, THEN NO DEVELOPER WOULD BE ABLE TO BUILD ANYTHING IN YOUR DETENTION AREAS OR YOUR RIGHT OF WAYS.

I MEAN, THERE'S LIMITED SPACES FOR US TO BE ABLE TO PUT THE BEAUTIFICATION AND THESE IMPROVEMENTS AND DETENTION PONDS AND RIGHT OF STREET RIGHT OF WAYS MAKE A LOT OF SENSE TO TO PUTTING THIS STUFF.

BUT WE'RE NOT PREVENTING YOU FROM DOING THAT.

YOU COULD DO IT ON YOUR OWN THROUGH YOUR HOA.

YOU COULD PUT YOUR OWN AMENITIES IN IT WOULD STILL BE OWNED BY THE CITY, MAINTAINED BY THE HOA.

BUT AGAIN I IT.

WHAT I HEAR FROM YOU IS WE DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR IT.

I MEAN, THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT YOU KEEP TELLING.

EVERY TIME YOU PUSH BACK, YOU PUSH BACK WITH I DON'T.

FINANCES ARE TOUGH RIGHT NOW.

EXPENSES ARE HIGH.

I DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR IT. JUDITH, WHAT IS THE INDEMNIFICATION, CLAUSE? IS THAT COMMON? IS THAT IN THERE OR FOR THE HOA? YEAH. SO IN THIS CASE, THEY WERE GIVING US THEY COULD GIVE AN INDEMNIFICATION CLAUSE TO INDEMNIFY THE CITY.

SO WE'RE NOT HELD LIABLE FOR ANY ACCIDENTS OR ANYTHING.

SO I, I WILL SAY THAT I DID LOOK AT THE AGREEMENT FOR THE HOA PROVISIONS, AND THERE IS NOT ENOUGH PROTECTION FOR THE CITY IN THE EXISTING AGREEMENT FOR HOA.

THE PROBLEM IS THAT ANGLETON HAS EXPERIENCED IN OTHER DEVELOPMENTS IS THAT DESPITE HAVING AN HOA AND DESPITE POSSIBLY HAVING THE CAPABILITY OF DOING SOMETHING LIKE STEPPING IN AND GETTING REIMBURSED, THAT THOSE THINGS ARE NOT ACTUALLY HAPPENING.

SO BOOTS ON THE GROUND, THAT IS A DIFFICULT THING TO TAKE ON BECAUSE YOU ARE RELYING ON, YOU KNOW, THE MONEY THAT THEY, PUT FOR THEIR MANAGEMENT COMPANY TO RUN THE HOA THAT IS BEING USED EFFICIENTLY AND THAT THEY'RE FOLLOWING THE RULES AND THAT ALL OF THAT'S HAPPENING.

SO I THINK ALL OF YOU MAY HAVE YOUR OWN OPINIONS ABOUT HOAS BASED ON WHAT YOU'VE EXPERIENCED IN ANGLETON.

SO AS IT IS RIGHT NOW, WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH TEETH IN THE AGREEMENT.

SO IF YOU'RE ASKING ME, I MEAN, YEAH, WE CAN HAVE ANOTHER AGREEMENT.

YES, WE CAN HAVE SOME KIND OF AN AGREEMENT, BUT I JUST DON'T KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THAT'S GOING TO SATISFY, CONCERNS.

AND THEN THE SECOND THING, I'M GLAD YOU ASKED ME THE QUESTION.

I CANNOT FIND ANY INDICATION THERE IS AN HOA OPERATING RIGHT NOW.

MICHAEL. YOU CAN SPEAK TO THAT, BUT THERE IS NO HOA HAPPENING AT THIS JUNCTURE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING IN PHASE ONE AND TWO.

I DIDN'T ASK THAT QUESTION.

SO THEN THE OTHER ISSUE IS, WELL, WHEN DOES THE HOA START KICKING IN? WHEN IT'S NOT HAPPENING YET.

SO THERE'S, YOU KNOW, TOO MUCH UNKNOWN.

THE HOA IS ACTIVE WITH APPROXIMATELY 200 HOMEOWNERS CURRENTLY RIVERWOOD RANCH HOA.

WHEN HAVE YOU ALL HAD A MEETING? OH, YES. WE HAVE, ANNUAL MEETINGS WITH THE RESIDENTS.

SO, NO, IT'S IT'S VERY MUCH AN ACTIVE HOA WITH ACTIVE, MANAGEMENT, WITH ACTIVE, LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE CONTRACTORS, LAKE MANAGEMENT.

ALL OF THAT, AND I. AND I GUESS.

WITHOUT A DATE ON YOUR LAST MEETING AND WHERE YOU HELD IT.

IT WAS A VIRTUAL MEETING AND IT WAS SORRY.

I HAVE A LOT OF THOSE.

SURE. I MEAN, IF YOU NEED TO GO LOOK IT UP.

AND HOW WAS NOTICE PROVIDED? I'M SORRY, HOW WAS NOTICE PROVIDED TO THE MEMBERS THROUGH MAIL? EVERY EVERY RESIDENT IS NOTIFIED VIA VIA MAIL OKAY.

YEAH. FOR THE FOR THE TPC GUIDELINES, AND ANY OTHER REGULAR MEETINGS ARE ALSO, YOU KNOW, SETTING THE BUDGET.

I THINK IT WAS IN NOVEMBER THAT I THINK WE SET THE BUDGET, AND WE'VE KEPT, A REASONABLE HOA FEE.

AND I GUESS THE, THE COMMENT ABOUT IF THERE WHAT DOES THE CITY DO IN ABSENCE OF THE HOA? GOOD QUESTION.

BUT WHAT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE HOA, IT'S, YOU KNOW, THEN THE CITY, LIKE YOU SAY, THE CITY DOESN'T WANT TO DO IT. SO AT LEAST YOU HAVE THOSE TEETH IN THERE.

AND AGAIN, WE'RE HAPPY TO TO MODIFY THE LANGUAGE IF APPROPRIATE.

BUT BUT YOU HAVE SOMETHING VERSUS NOTHING AND, AND AND SO

[02:10:01]

THE CITY DOESN'T WANT TO MAINTAIN IT IF THE HOA GOES DEFUNCT, WHICH IT WON'T.

BUT IN THE EVENT THAT THEN THE CITY WOULD DECIDE WHAT IT WANTS TO DO, BUT AT LEAST IT HAS THAT ABILITY BECAUSE IT HAS THAT PROVISION IN THERE.

AND YOU CAN SAY, LOOK, YOU KNOW, THE HOA IS RESPONSIBLE.

SO, THAT'S I GUESS THAT'S WHAT I WOULD SAY TO THAT.

MY QUESTION IS TO MR. FOLEY AND I'M JUST GOING TO DIFFERENT I KNOW Y'ALL HAVE A DIFFERENT BUSINESS MODEL.

THE CITY OF ANGLETON IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

I ASSUME ONCE YOU DEVELOP THIS, YOU HAVE MANY OTHER PROJECTS.

YOU'LL FOCUS YOUR MOVE, YOUR FOCUS.

THAT'S JUST BUSINESS, I IMAGINE.

I KNOW WHEN WE DEAL WITH OUR CITY PARKS, I DON'T KNOW IF WE'VE COMPLETED A SINGLE ONE PER SE, ESPECIALLY FROM THE JUMP.

FROM THE START, WE HAVE CONTINUALLY FUNDED OUR PARKS AND ENHANCED THEM AS WE'VE PROGRESSED.

SO AGAIN, IT'S YOUR BUSINESS.

I'M NOT. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU KNOW I DON'T RUN YOUR BUSINESS, BUT COULD A SIMILAR MODEL WORK FOR YOU? COULD YOU NOT FUND IT PROGRESSIVELY AS YOU GAIN MORE MEMBERS TO YOUR HOA? I MEAN, WE YOU TALK ABOUT TREES AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

WE'RE ADDING TREES TO EVERY ONE OF OUR PARKS, AND SOME OF THEM ARE 20 YEARS OLD.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? IT'S IT'S NOT THAT WE'RE THEY DIDN'T ALL GO INTO THE GROUND AT ONE TIME BECAUSE WE COULDN'T AFFORD IT.

IT JUST DIDN'T HAPPEN THAT WAY.

AND SO I TO ME, I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, I GUESS PART OF THE BENEFIT OF THE PIT, I GUESS, IS TO BE ABLE TO SUBSIDIZE THOSE COSTS OVER 30 YEARS.

THAT THAT WAS THE INTENT OF IT.

AS FOR THE HOA, I MEAN, AS SOON AS WE GET TO A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF RESIDENTS, IT'LL TURN OVER TO THEM.

AND, YOU KNOW, THEY CAN HAVE THE ABILITY TO RAISE THEIR HOA FEES IF THEY WANT AND ADD MORE LANDSCAPING, ADD MORE TREES.

AT THEIR MEETINGS. SO, YOU KNOW, IT'LL IT'LL EVOLVE AND GROW AS THE COMMUNITY GROWS.

SOMETHING ELSE TO SAY ON THAT? NO, I WAS I WAS JUST GOING TO ADD THAT OUR HOA FEES, ARE BUDGETED WITH SOME RESERVE TO, TO MAINTAIN, BUT CERTAINLY, NOTHING LARGE ENOUGH THAT WOULD ENABLE LARGE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS OF, OF THAT OF THE KIND OF NATURE THAT WE'RE, THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

WITH 350 HOMEOWNERS, THERE'S JUST THE THE FEES WOULD HAVE TO GO UP SUBSTANTIALLY TO COVER HOW MANY HOMEOWNERS.

IT'LL BE 350 ISH WHEN IT'S WHEN IT'S BUILT OUT.

BUT YOU SAID 200. YOU ALREADY HAVE CURRENTLY 200.

AND WE'RE WE'RE PUTTING 144 MORE WITH THE SECOND PHASE.

SO PHASES THREE AND FOUR ARE LESS THAN ONE AND TWO.

YES THAT'S CORRECT.

SO 350 HOMES TOTAL WHEN SAID AND DONE.

YES, SIR. WHY DOES THAT NUMBER SOUND LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL? LOWER TOTAL.

FROM THE VERY FIRST TIME YOU CAME TO US.

I FEEL LIKE IT WAS OVER 400.

I CAN'T REMEMBER, BUT YEAH, WE'RE AT 351 EXACTLY, I THINK NOW.

AND HOW MUCH IS YOUR HOA FEE? 590? YES.

CORRECT. CHANGE FONT. HOLY FONT.

AND THAT'S AN INCREASE OF $53 IN THE MONTH.

SO 1,010%.

MICHAEL, I TOLD HIM.

DID YOU HEAR ME? AND TELL ME WHAT THAT NUMBER IS? ONE MORE TIME. $594.

AND MY NAME IS JESSICA, AND I LIVE AT 106.

OKAY. COUNCIL DO WE HAVE? ARE WE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION, OR DO WE WANT TO HAVE THIS TAKEN BACK AND FIGURE OUT ANYTHING ELSE THAT CAN BE ADDED? I NEED TO SLEEP ON THIS.

I DON'T THINK WE'RE ANYWHERE CLOSE RIGHT NOW.

SOUNDS LIKE THE CITY ATTORNEY HAS SOME QUESTIONS THAT SHE HAS AS WELL THAT'S GOING TO BE ANSWERED.

WELL. IF YOU WANT TO.

[02:15:05]

NO, I THINK. ESTABLISH THE STANDARD.

I'M SORRY. JUST CHECKING ON, TIMELINE.

SO WE DO HAVE TIME FOR YOU TO SLEEP ON IT.

WE DO HAVE TIME FOR ME TO SEND YOU SOME EMAILS ABOUT WHAT THE DEED RESTRICTIONS DO.

SAY. WE DO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME FOR ME TO GIVE YOU SOME MORE INFORMATION SO THAT YOU CAN MAKE A DECISION.

WE'LL JUST BRING IT BACK NEXT MEETING.

I THINK THAT'S A WISE CHOICE.

YEAH, I DO TOO. I DO TOO I.

YES, MA'AM. IS IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO OUTLINE OUR ACTION ITEMS HERE BEFORE WE.

BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE REALLY NEED TO PUT SOME BULLET POINTS DOWN SO THAT WE'RE I AGREE, YOU KNOW, SO THAT THERE'S A PLAN THERE'S A PLAN FORWARD.

WE DON'T LEAVE THE RESIDENTS WITHOUT THEM KNOWING WHAT WHAT'S BEING WORKED ON.

AND MR. FOLEY KNOWS WHERE WE'RE HEADED.

SO IF I COULD.

MAYOR, I KNOW THAT SEVERAL OF YOU ALREADY KNOW THESE ARE TWO SEPARATE BIDS.

THE FIRST BID, WHICH IS SECTIONS ONE AND TWO, IT'S COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS SECTIONS ONE AND TWO.

CONSIST OF 205 LOTS.

AND THAT PID IS A CASH PID.

SO WHAT THAT MEANS WITH IT BEING A CASH BID IS THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN THAT WAS ESTABLISHED YEARS AGO WHEN THAT PID WAS APPROVED, AND YOU DECIDED WHAT THE AUTHORIZED IMPROVEMENTS WOULD BE THAT WOULD BE INCLUDED IN THAT PID, WHICH IS THE DISCUSSION YOU'RE HAVING TONIGHT FOR SECTIONS THREE AND FOUR, WHICH IS REALLY NOT THAT ANYMORE BECAUSE IT'S RIVERWOOD RANCH NORTH NOW.

BUT MY POINT IN TELLING YOU ALL OF THIS IS THAT EVEN THOUGH YOU AUTHORIZED THOSE IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH DID INCLUDE SOME PARK RELATED ITEMS, WHICH I HAVE A LIST THAT I HAD SENT TO OTIS, AND HE PULLED IT UP ON HIS IPAD.

I'LL GO OVER THAT WITH YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, BECAUSE I THINK YOU PROBABLY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THOSE ARE.

BUT UNLESS AND UNTIL HE SUBMITS PROOF OF THOSE FUNDS BEING EXPENDED FOR THE ITEMS THAT WERE LISTED IN THE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN, HE CANNOT BE REIMBURSED FROM THE PID FOR THOSE COSTS.

AND YOU CAN'T JUST SUBSTITUTE OTHER COST, WITHOUT COMING BACK TO THE CITY COUNCIL AND GETTING AUTHORIZATION TO DO SO.

AND SO AND THERE IS A SEPARATE REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT FOR THAT PID.

SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS CLEAR.

THE NEW PID, THE ONE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT TONIGHT AND THAT YOU THAT YOU AUTHORIZE CALLING THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR MARCH THE 12TH IS WHAT THEY CALL A BONDED PID, AND THAT PID WILL LATER ON WHEN HE MEETS THE REQUIREMENT OF VALUE TO LEAN, WHICH MEANS HE'S GOT THE VALUE IN THE GROUND THREE TIMES TO TO WHAT THE LEAN AMOUNT IS GOING TO BE, WHICH IS THE ASSESSMENT.

THEN BONDS CAN BE ISSUED.

SO THAT COULD BE A LONG TIME IN THE FUTURE.

AND UNTIL THEN HE'S EXPENDING THESE MONIES TO PUT IN THESE IMPROVEMENTS, BEFORE HE'LL GET REIMBURSED.

AND JUST LIKE WITH THE CASH PID, YOU HAVE TO SURE UP WHAT YOU SPENT WITH THE PID ADMINISTRATOR BEFORE HE COULD EVEN GET ANY OF THOSE BOND MONIES.

DOES ALL THAT CLEAR UP SOME THINGS AND MAKE SENSE FOR YOU? SO THE KEY TO YOUR DECISION TONIGHT, AS FAR AS A TIMELINE IS CONCERNED, IS THAT WITHOUT A REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT, IF MR. FOLEY OR ANY OTHER PID DEVELOPER WERE TO DEVELOP, PUT IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND THEN ATTEMPT TO DEDICATE THAT INFRASTRUCTURE TO THE CITY, AND THE CITY ACCEPTED IT WITHOUT A REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT, THEY CANNOT BE REIMBURSED FOR THOSE COSTS.

SO THAT'S THAT'S THE IMPORTANCE OF THE REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT.

I'M NOT UP HERE ADVOCATING FOR ANYTHING.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I SHARE THE PID RELATED FACTS WITH YOU BECAUSE AS THE PID ADMINISTRATOR, WE'RE HIRED BY THE CITY.

WE REPRESENT THE CITY, IN THIS PARTICULAR MATTER.

AND SO I'M HAPPY TO TRY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT Y'ALL MIGHT HAVE.

BUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE Y'ALL HAD THAT INFORMATION FOR CLARITY.

AND THEN ALSO, MR. MAYOR, YOU HAD ASKED ABOUT THE NUMBER OF LOTS IN SECTIONS THREE AND FOUR, WHICH IS NORTH.

IT'S 144 FOR A TOTAL OF 349 LOTS.

OKAY. AND THEN THERE'S A SEPARATE COMPONENT WHICH MR. FOLEY BROUGHT UP, WHICH IS THE TERS, WHICH YOU AND I SPOKE ABOUT MONTHS AGO.

THE TERS DOES NOT ACTUALLY IT'S TIED TO THE PID IN THAT THE TERS IS BEING USED TO BUY DOWN THE PIT ASSESSMENT FOR THE PROPERTY OWNERS THAT LIVE IN THAT PID.

SO AND PUTTING IN ANOTHER TERMS IS MAKES IT MORE AFFORDABLE TO THE RESIDENTS IN THAT COMMUNITY.

BECAUSE WHEN THEY PAY IN THEIR PROPERTY TAXES, THEY CAN GET UP TO A MAXIMUM AMOUNT IN A TERS CREDIT.

[02:20:07]

AND SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHERE THE TERS COMES IN.

SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE ALL THAT WAS CLEAR AND HOW IT WORKED.

WOULD YOU LIKE FOR ME TO GO OVER THE PARK AMENITIES THAT WERE INCLUDED IN IN SECTIONS ONE AND TWO AS AUTHORIZED IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH MEANS THEY HAVE TO BE COMPLETED BY THE DEVELOPER IN ORDER FOR HIM TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THOSE COSTS.

WOULD Y'ALL LIKE THAT LIST OR I WOULD? OKAY, I WOULD, BUT I DO WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING CLEAR.

THANK YOU. THE TERS IS NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE PID.

IT IS A SEPARATE FINANCING TOOL, SIR.

RIGHT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE.

SO WHEN THE ONLY REASON WHY THEY ADDRESS BOTH AND THEY ACT LIKE THEY'RE ONE AND THE SAME, THEY ARE NOT.

THESE ARE TOTALLY SEPARATE.

THAT'S CORRECT. IT'S A SEPARATE FINANCING TOOL FOR THE CITY TO USE.

AND THAT THEY'RE ONLY TIED TOGETHER BECAUSE YOU USE THE TERS TO MAKE THE PID ASSESSMENT MORE AFFORDABLE.

SO IT BASICALLY IT JUST REDUCES THE PROPERTY OWNERS PIT ASSESSMENT BY A SET DOLLAR AMOUNT DEPENDING ON WHAT LOT TYPE THEY HAVE.

AND THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT HAS TWO LOT TYPES.

AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, ANY ACTION THAT'S TAKEN ON THE PID DOES NOT AFFECT THAT TERS.

CORRECT? NO.

THE TERS IS A SEPARATE RIGHT.

SO I'M JUST GOING TO SAY IF WE TAKE ACTION ON THIS PID IN ANY DIRECTION UNLESS UNLESS YOU SAID THAT YOU WANTED TO CHANGE YOUR PARTICIPATION RATE OF THE TERS.

YEAH. IT WON'T AFFECT IT.

EXCLUDING THAT EXCEPTION, WE'RE NOT AFFECTING TERS AND THE ABILITY OF THE HOMEOWNERS TO TO GET THAT CREDIT.

GET THAT CREDIT. NO, SIR. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S OUT THERE.

WE'RE NOT TRYING TO MESS WITH ANYBODY'S CREDIT FOR THEIR TAXES.

RIGHT. OKAY. SO TERS CHANGES EVERY YEAR.

CORRECT. SO THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT DOES NOT CHANGE.

BUT WE CALCULATE EVERY YEAR HOW MUCH EACH PROPERTY OWNER.

AND IT'S A PRETTY ARDUOUS TASK LIKE YOU AND I TALKED ABOUT LAST YEAR.

BECAUSE I HAVE TO GO THROUGH AND EVERY PROPERTY OWNER, I HAVE TO LOOK AT WHAT THEY PAID IN BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THERE'S A MAXIMUM AMOUNT, IF LET'S SAY THAT THEY ONLY PAID IN 300 AND THE MAX WAS FOR 25, THEY CAN'T GET THE MAX OF FOR 25, THEY CAN ONLY GET UP TO WHAT THEY ACTUALLY PAID IN AS A CREDIT.

AND I'M JUST USING THAT AS AN EXAMPLE.

IS THERE A CEILING ON THE ON THE CREDIT ITSELF? BECAUSE THERE IS INCREMENTAL INCREMENTAL VALUE, RIGHT.

THERE IS A CEILING ON IT.

AND THAT CEILING IS SET IN THE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN.

SO IF YOU LOOK IN THE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN THAT'S ATTACHED TO THE ITEM THAT YOU JUST DISCUSSED, YOU'LL SEE THAT MAXIMUM TERS CREDIT THAT'S PER LOT OR PER PROPERTY OWNER. JUST SO YOU KNOW OKAY.

AND IT DOES MAYOR, I KNOW YOU AND I HAD SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT A LOT OF THIS STUFF, BUT, IT DOES TAKE A FEW YEARS TO, FOR THAT CREDIT TO, TO KICK IN.

SO I DON'T WANT PROPERTY OWNERS BEING MISLED IN THINKING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO GET THAT CREDIT ON, ON YEAR ONE OR DAY ONE, BECAUSE THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT WORKS.

THE FUND HAS TO BUILD UP.

IT HAS TO HAVE MONEY IN IT TO, TO ACTUALLY ISSUE THOSE CREDITS.

AND IT TAKES A FEW YEARS FOR THAT TO HAPPEN.

AND THAT TERS CREDIT GOES DIRECTLY TO THE HOMEOWNER.

THEY SEE IT ON THEIR PIT ASSESSMENT AS A CREDIT.

SO MAYOR WOULD YOU LIKE FOR ME TO GO OVER THE.

YES PLEASE. THE PARK AMENITIES.

OKAY. SO FOR SECTIONS ONE AND TWO, THE TOTAL THAT WAS APPROVED AS AUTHORIZED IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH MEANS HE ONLY GETS REIMBURSED IF HE SUBMITS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE THAT HE PUT THOSE IMPROVEMENTS IN AND THAT THEY ALSO HAVE TO BE ACCEPTED BY THE CITY AS WELL.

JUST SO YOU KNOW, TOTAL FOR 25, 589.

SO $425,589.

OKAY, OKAY. THEY INCLUDE I'M NOT GOING TO GO OVER EVERY SINGLE ITEM, BUT THERE'S A LAUNDRY LIST OF ITEMS. THE MONUMENT SIGN, WHICH WAS INCLUDED HERE FOR 32,000.

SO THEY DECIDED NOT TO DO THAT.

AND NOW IT WAS SUBMITTED IN SECTIONS THREE AND FOUR.

SO JUST SO YOU'RE AWARE, IT ALSO INCLUDES, PLANNER EDGES, SIGN LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPE BORDERS, TRAIL AND PICNIC AREAS.

SO THERE'S SUPPOSED TO BE A CONCRETE TRAIL WITH SUBGRADE, AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SIX FOOT WIDE.

AND THAT'S $50,564.

SOME BENCHES, SOME PICNIC TABLES, PICNIC SHELTER, BARBECUE GRILLS, THAT WHOLE CATEGORY OF TRAIL AND PICNIC AREA TOTALS 104 TO 64.

SO $104,264.

THEN THEY AGREED TO PUT IN A PLAYGROUND, THAT HAS A NUMBER OF ITEMS LISTED UNDER IT.

I WON'T GO OVER ALL THE DETAIL, BUT THE TOTAL COST FOR ALL OF THOSE IS $88,825.

AND THEN A SPORTS FIELD, WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SOCCER FIELD AND A GOAL, THEY WERE GOING TO BE TWO GOALS.

[02:25:01]

OBVIOUSLY, IF YOU'RE GOING TO PLAY SOCCER, YOU HAVE TO HAVE TWO GOALS.

AND THAT WAS GOING TO TOTAL $7,850.

AND IF YOU ADD ALL THOSE TOTALS THAT I GAVE YOU UP, THEY WILL TOTAL FOR 25, FIVE, 89.

OKAY. SO UNLESS AND UNTIL SOME RECEIPTS ARE SUBMITTED AND WE HAVE AN AFFIDAVIT SIGNED SAYING THAT WHOEVER THE VENDOR WAS RECEIVED PAYMENT FROM THE DEVELOPER.

SO WE HAVE A LOT OF STOP GAPS FOR IT.

UNLESS AND UNTIL THOSE ITEMS ARE RECEIVED, HE CANNOT GET REIMBURSEMENT FROM IT.

AND BECAUSE THIS SECTION ONE AND.

HE WAS A CASH BID.

HE CAN'T GET REIMBURSEMENT UNLESS WE HAVE THE MONEY IN HAND FROM THE ASSESSMENTS, BECAUSE THAT'S HOW HE GETS PAID ON SECTIONS ONE AND TWO.

UNLIKE THREE AND FOUR, WHICH ARE BONDED.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? ALMOST. SO HERE'S HERE'S MY QUESTION.

I WAS FOLLOWING YOU UNTIL THE PART WHERE YOU SAID CAN'T PAY IT UNTIL YOU HAVE THE ASSESSMENT.

BUT WE'RE ALREADY COLLECTING THE PID, RIGHT? THAT IS CORRECT, SIR. AND WE HAVE THE.

SO DO WE HAVE THE MONEY RIGHT NOW IN HAND? I COULDN'T TELL YOU OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD HOW MUCH HAS BEEN COLLECTED SINCE THE PID SINCE THE FIRST ASSESSMENT WAS, LEVIED AND THEN COLLECTED.

SO THEY'RE LEVIED IN SEPTEMBER TYPICALLY TIME FRAME AND THEY'RE COLLECTED IN JANUARY OF THE FOLLOWING YEAR.

AND SO THIS PIT HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR A FEW YEARS.

YES. SO ALL THOSE PIT ASSESSMENTS I CAN GET YOU THAT INFORMATION IF YOU WOULD LIKE IT.

HOW MUCH IS HOW MUCH IS ON DEPOSIT? I DON'T HAVE IT IN FRONT OF ME.

BUT THAT'S HOW MUCH HE WOULD BE ENTITLED TO.

AND THEN HE WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THERE WAS SUFFICIENT MONEY TO DO ANY OTHER REIMBURSEMENTS IF HE DREW THAT DOWN.

PLUS, THERE'S OTHER EXPENSES THAT ARE PAID OUT OF THERE AS WELL.

SO HE WON'T JUST GET LET'S SAY THAT, $3 MILLION HAVE BEEN PAID TO DATE AND PIT ASSESSMENTS OFF THE TOP OF THAT HAS TO COME. PIT ADMINISTRATION FEES.

RIGHT. OTHER THINGS.

AND THEN AFTER THOSE COME OFF, THEN THE DEVELOPER CAN I MEAN, HE COULD STILL PROVE UP HIS COST ANY TIME HE WANTS TO, BUT UNLESS AND UNTIL THOSE FUNDS ARE IN THE PROJECT FUND, HE CANNOT GET REIMBURSED FOR IT.

BUT THAT'S MY QUESTION, BECAUSE I KNOW I'VE SEEN SOMETHING ALREADY COME THROUGH BEFORE TO US, WHERE ALL THE PIDS WERE PAID FOR THE YEAR, EXCEPT FOR, I THINK THERE WAS ONE LOT THAT HADN'T PAID OR SOMETHING.

THAT MONEY WE HAVE.

CORRECT. THAT'S CORRECT. IS IT COLLECTING INTEREST? YES. THOSE DO COLLECT INTEREST.

AND BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO PASS THAT INTEREST ON TO THE DEVELOPER.

NO. SO IF HE COMES BACK IN A YEAR AND SAYS, OKAY, I DID ALL MY I CHECKED ALL MY BOXES, I'M SORRY, I HAVE I HAVE TO TAKE THAT BACK.

HE DOES GET PAID SOME INTEREST THROUGH THE CASH BID BECAUSE IT'S A REIMBURSEMENT PIT.

SO HE DOES GET SOME INTEREST ON THAT.

OKAY. YES.

BUT FOR NOW HAVE YOU BEEN PAID ANY PIDS YOU HAVE? YEAH, HE'S PROBABLY SUBMITTED SOME DRAWS I WOULD IMAGINE.

OKAY. YEAH. BUT NOT FOR EVERYTHING.

NO, NO HE CAN'T HE CAN'T GET REIMBURSED FOR EVERYTHING UNTIL IT'S THE END.

SO THAT'S THAT'S THE BEAUTY YOU ASKED EARLIER OF BENEFITS FOR THE CITY OF THE PIT.

THAT'S ONE OF THE BEAUTIES OF THE PID.

THERE'S MANY, BUT THAT'S ONE FOR THE CITY.

JUST SO YOU KNOW, IS THAT THERE'S A LOT OF THERE'S A LOT OF PROTECTION FOR THE CITY TO ENSURE THAT THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT THE DEVELOPER AGREED TO PUT IN THE GROUND GETS PUT IN THE GROUND, OR THEY DON'T GET PAID GOOD.

WHAT'S STILL OUTSTANDING IN ONE AND TWO, DO YOU KNOW, OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD? I DON'T, SIR, BUT I CAN CERTAINLY BRING THAT FOR YOU NEXT TIME.

IT'S REAL SIMPLE FOR ME TO PULL UP.

I JUST DON'T HAVE IT WITH ME.

NO WORRIES, I, I WAS THE CONVERSATION WOULD GO.

IT'S OKAY. I WAS ONLY CURIOUS.

YEAH, I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT THAT PICNIC AREA IN THAT PLAYGROUND WHEN WHEN I DO THE ANNUAL REPORT EVERY YEAR.

COUNCIL MEMBER, WHEN I DO THE REPORT EVERY YEAR, IT DOES HAVE THAT INFORMATION IN IT FOR YOU.

SO. OKAY.

AND THOSE ANNUAL REPORTS ARE REQUIRED BY STATE LAW.

DID THAT HELP? MAIER? YES, MA'AM.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR ME? WHAT'S WHAT IS WHAT IS THE, WHAT IS THE TOTAL AMOUNT THAT'S ON THE TABLE FOR SECTIONS THREE AND FOUR? THREE AND FOUR FOR THE AMENITIES.

IT'S 5 MILLION.

5 MILLION. FIVE FOR, I THINK, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

I HAVE IT THE EXACT AMOUNT NEEDED.

AND JUDITH PUT IT IN THE, THE AGENDA MEMORANDUM AS WELL.

SO. OKAY.

AND THAT DOES THAT DOES INCLUDE ALL OF YOUR BOND ISSUANCE COSTS TOO.

IT'S NOT ALL THAT MONEY DOESN'T GO TO THE DEVELOPER.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME. I WANT TO ALLOW AUDREY HARRIS TO COME TO THE PODIUM REAL QUICK.

YES. MY NAME IS AUDREY HARRIS.

I LIVE AT 178 KELLY STREET, AND I WAS TOLD WHEN WE FIRST BOUGHT THE HOUSE IN 2021 THAT THERE WOULD BE A PLAYGROUND. AND ALSO, THE LADY THAT WAS IN THE LENNAR OFFICE SAID THAT I QUESTIONED HER ABOUT THE

[02:30:06]

HOA, AND SHE SAID IT WOULD NOT GO IN EFFECT UNTIL ALL OF THE HOUSES WERE BUILT.

NOW, THIS GENTLEMAN SAID THAT THEY HAD.

I WAS JUST SHOCKED THEY HAD A VIRTUAL MEETING.

HOW WOULD WE KNOW THERE WAS A VIRTUAL MEETING? WE DIDN'T GET ANY NOTIFICATION.

I DIDN'T, YOU KNOW.

SO, YOU KNOW, ALL ALL I GOT WAS THE BIG BILL, YOU KNOW, SO.

BUT YOU KNOW, HOW CAN YOU HAVE A MEETING, A MEETING, THAT OF THAT IMPORTANCE IN NOT NOTIFYING THE MEMBERS.

MY COMMENT. THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS HARRIS.

THANK YOU. I'LL ALSO CALL DAPHNE BROWN UP.

HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO.

OKAY. I TRY MY BEST NOT TO.

SAY ANYTHING. AND I KNOW I'M GONNA MAKE THIS REAL QUICK.

OKAY, SO WHAT IS.

SEEMS AS IF.

CAN YOU STATE YOUR ADDRESS? OH, DAPHNE BROWN, 107.

KELLY. SORRY ABOUT THAT. THANK YOU.

OKAY. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH WE'VE BEEN FAILED.

AND I'M GOING TO STOP SHORT OF POINTING FINGERS AT WHO FAILED US.

OKAY. BUT THAT I KNOW, BUT I'M ALSO A REAL ESTATE BROKER, SO I DO A LOT OF BUSINESS IN THE CITY OF ANGLETON.

I DON'T KNOW WHO TO PUT THE ONUS ON, WHETHER IT BE THE THE DEVELOPERS, THE BUILDERS, THE I DON'T KNOW, AND I'M NOT TRYING TO FIGURE THAT OUT.

WELL, I CAN TELL YOU, IS WE DON'T CARE ABOUT NO DAMN SIGNS.

WE CARE ABOUT SAFETY FOR OUR CHILDREN.

THAT'S OUR PRIORITY IS TO HAVE A PLACE FOR THEM TO CONVENE, BE SAFE, HAVE FUN, AND BE OUT OF THE STREETS TO REMAIN OUT OF THE STREETS.

THAT'S WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO US.

I'M WONDERING, AS I SIT BACK, WHERE ARE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES WERE RIGHT.

SO YOU GUYS APPROVED SOMETHING? THAT'S NOT WHAT WE GOT.

WE DIDN'T GET WE GOT THE THE CITY DIDN'T APPROVE THE AMENITIES.

RIGHT. SO AS A BUYER, BUT ALSO AS A BROKER.

RIGHT. WHO ADVISES CLIENTS.

OH YEAH. YOU'LL BE GOOD HERE.

BUY HERE. WHAT DO I TELL MY CLIENTS? GO CHECK WITH THE CITY TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WAS, YOU KNOW, THE BILLS THAT WERE PASSED, YOU KNOW, ARE IN EFFECT, LIKE WHO GOES BACK TO CHECK TO SAY WE'VE APPROVED THEM TO DO THIS? THE EXPECTATION IS THAT THEY DO THIS.

WHO GOES TO MAKE SURE THAT'S DONE? AND WITH THE GROWTH THAT ANGLETON IS ABOUT TO SEE, RIGHT.

WHAT 5000 MORE RESIDENTS HERE, 5000 HOMES, RIGHT.

AND THOSE MASTER PLAN COMMUNITIES.

I WOULD HATE FOR THIS TO BE WIDESPREAD AND BECOME CANCEROUS, WHERE LIKE WE GOT TO FIGURE OUT IF WE ARE APPROVING DEVELOPERS TO DO SOMETHING AND WE'RE ISSUING MONEY AND THEY'RE TURNING IN, YOU KNOW, WORK ORDERS TO BE REIMBURSED OR WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? LET ME GO SEE THAT YOU THAT YOU FULFILLED YOUR REQUIREMENT BEFORE WE RELEASE MONEY SO THAT PEOPLE DO WANT TO CONTINUE TO COME TO ANGLETON AND NOT WE DON'T HAVE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM OF GIRL, DON'T MOVE OVER HERE BECAUSE WE WERE PROMISED SOCCER COURTS, WE WERE SOCCER FIELDS.

WE WERE PROMISED ALL OF THESE THINGS BY THE SALESPEOPLE IN THE OFFICE.

BUT IF I NEED TO STOP SELLING HOMES TO SAY, LET ME GO CHECK WITH THE CITY TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S DOING WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING.

AND THAT'S GOING TO BE PROBLEMATIC FOR EVERYBODY.

WE ALL WANT TO SEE THE CITY FLOURISH, AND WE WANT TO SEE IT GROW.

AND I'M, I'M I'M ABOUT TO WRAP THIS UP BECAUSE I GOT TO GO HOME.

AND I KNOW Y'ALL DO TOO.

BUT WE WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND FIGURE OUT A WAY THROUGH IT.

AND AGAIN, I'M NOT TRYING TO POINT FINGERS.

I JUST WANT A RESOLUTION THAT'S GOOD FOR EVERYBODY.

AGAIN, I WANT IT TO GO ON RECORD.

I HEARD YOU, MICHAEL.

I DON'T CARE ABOUT NO DAMN SIGN.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO TO KEEP THE KIDS SAFE? BECAUSE JUST LIKE MISS SAMANTHA SAID, Y'ALL HAVE KIDS.

Y'ALL WANT Y'ALL'S KIDS SAFE.

WE WANT THE SAME THING. MY HOUSE MAY NOT COST AS MUCH AS YOURS, BUT BECAUSE I WORKED HARD TO PURCHASE IT, I WANT MY KIDS TO HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS THAT YOU ALL HAVE.

AND I KNOW THAT YOU WANT THAT FOR US AS WELL.

YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

I WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT THAT YOU HAVE A VERY GOOD QUESTION OF WHO THE CHECKS AND BALANCES.

RIGHT. WELL, THAT'S WHAT WE JUST HAD THE PIT ADMINISTRATOR UP TALKING ABOUT, IS WE CHECK AND MAKE SURE THAT WHAT'S PROMISED THEY GET, THEY DON'T GET PAID UNTIL THAT GOES IN THE GROUND. SO A DEVELOPER WILL COME TO US AS A CITY AND SAY, WE'RE GOING TO PUT THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS IN, AND WE MAKE THE AGREEMENTS, AND WE HAVE A DEVELOPER'S AGREEMENT THAT SAYS, THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO, BUT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GET PAID IF THEY DON'T DO IT.

AND THAT'S A THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IN ANY, ANY SUBDIVISION THAT YOU HAVE IS IF A DEVELOPER SAYS THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT, THEY HAVE TO DO IT, BUT IT'S IT'S ON THEM.

[02:35:02]

AND, AND THE HOMEOWNER REALLY TO SAY, YES, WE'RE GETTING THESE AMENITIES AS WE SAID WE WOULD.

BUT YOUR QUESTION ABOUT THE THE POINT OF THE HOA, THAT'S REALLY YOUR ARM AT THAT MOMENT, TO USE THE HOA TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET WHAT WAS PROMISED TO YOU, BECAUSE THE HOA IS YOUR REPRESENTATIVE INSIDE THAT SUBDIVISION.

WE REPRESENTING YOU FROM A CITY SIDE AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE POLICE, FIRE PROTECTION, YOUR WATER AND SEWER AND ALL THAT'S WORKING.

BUT INSIDE THESE THESE PLANNED COMMUNITIES, YOUR HOA IS IS YOUR CHECK AND BALANCE THERE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE GETTING WHAT YOUR PROMISED WHEN YOU BOUGHT IN.

AND GO AHEAD, COME ON UP.

BUT THE PIT ADMINISTRATOR IS WHO IS CHECKING TO MAKE SURE THAT, HEY, YOU'RE NOT GETTING THAT MONEY UNTIL YOU CHECK OFF THAT YOU'VE DONE THESE THINGS.

SO THAT IS 100% CORRECT, MR. MAYOR. AND I ALSO WANTED TO ANSWER HER QUESTION, AND I HOPE IT'LL ANSWER A QUESTION FOR THE COUNCIL AS WELL.

SURE. WHAT CAN SHE DO AS A REALTOR? WHAT CAN THE PROPERTY OWNERS DO TO PROTECT THEMSELVES, OR TO FIND OUT IF THE DEVELOPER IS DOING WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING? ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS THAT WE PRESENT, WE BE IN THE PIT ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE CITY TO YOU ARE REQUIRED BY STATE LAW TO BE FILED WITH THE COUNTY AND THE COUNTY RECORDS.

THEY CAN GO ONLINE AND PULL THOSE UP AND LOOK AT THEM DIGITALLY.

OR THEY CAN CONTACT P3 WORKS.

WE HAVE A WEBSITE. IT'S P3 WORKS.

COM. AND WE HAVE AN ADMINISTRATION LINE.

WE'LL BE HAPPY TO HELP ANY PROPERTY OWNER WITHIN THE CITY OF ANGLETON WITH ANY INFORMATION THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR ON THE PID THAT WE HAVE, BECAUSE THOSE RECORDS BELONG TO YOU, THE CITY.

GREAT. OKAY. THANK YOU FOR.

AND JUST SO THE REALTORS AND RESIDENTS KNOW, AS I HAVE SAID 3 OR 4 TIMES TONIGHT, I KNOW IT'S VERY CONFUSING.

PITS ARE CAN BE COMPLICATED.

IF YOU DON'T WORK ON THEM, WORK WITH THEM AND UNDERSTAND THEM.

BUT WE DO PROVIDE AN ANNUAL REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL EVERY YEAR TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT THE STATUS IS OF THE IMPROVEMENTS OF THE ASSESSMENTS THAT ARE BUILT AND COLLECTED.

ALL KINDS OF INFORMATION IS INCLUDED IN THAT ANNUAL REPORT.

THAT, TOO, IS FILED WITHIN SEVEN DAYS OF THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVING IT WITH THE COUNTY.

GREAT. OKAY. STATE LAW REQUIRES THAT.

JUST SO Y'ALL ARE AWARE.

OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU MAYOR.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

ANNA ROBINSON.

YOU WANT TO COME BACK UP REAL QUICK? AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS MEETING.

I, MYSELF AND ANOTHER CITIZEN OF ANGLETON CAME UP AND WE PRESENTED THE ISSUES THAT WE HAD.

NOBODY ASKED US ANY QUESTIONS.

NOTHING WAS SAID AS TO WHAT WAS GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT OUR PROBLEMS. I'VE SAT HERE AND I'VE LISTENED, AND THESE PEOPLE HAVE LEGITIMATE QUESTIONS.

I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT WE ARE ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OUR KIDS.

NOBODY SEEMS TO BE CONCERNED.

NOBODY ASKED ME A QUESTION, AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT DITCH.

AND I KNOW IT MAY NOT SEEM MUCH TO YOU.

WE HAVE A LOT OF KIDS IN THAT SUBDIVISION.

SNAKES WILL BE OUT SOON.

SNAKES WILL BE OUT THERE IN THAT DITCH.

MOSQUITOES WILL BE OUT THERE.

IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

YES I DID. IT'S 809 WEST LIVE OAK.

MISS ROBINSON, REAL QUICK.

JUST A I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE CLARIFIED EARLIER WHEN YOU CAME UP TO SPEAK EARLIER, THAT ITEM IS NOT ON THE AGENDA.

SO WE CANNOT TAKE ANY ACTION OR HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THOSE ITEMS. BUT FOR THEM, THIS ITEM NUMBER 16 IS PERTAINING TO THEM.

SO WE CAN HAVE THE BACK AND FORTH ON THAT.

OKAY. BUT FOR YOU, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR ISSUE IS.

AND CITY MANAGER AND PUBLIC WORKS WERE RIGHT HERE AND THEY HEARD IT.

AND I KNOW I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE CLARIFIED, BUT I KNOW WE'LL BE WORKING ON IT AND WE'LL LET YOU KNOW.

AND I DID CALL TO GET ON THE AGENDA, MISS ROBINSON.

IT'S IT'S YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD OF LIKE, OPENS MEETINGS.

WE IF IT'S NOT GIVEN NOTICE, WE CAN'T ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES.

AND THAT'S NOT THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT YOUR YOUR ISSUE IS NOT SERIOUS AND THERE WON'T BE FUTURE DISCUSSIONS.

WE HAVE TO BY BY STATE LAW AND THAT'S ALL WE'RE DOING.

AND SO WHEN WE SAT THERE SILENTLY, IT WASN'T BECAUSE YOU YOUR ISSUE WAS NOT IMPORTANT.

THAT'S NOT WHAT'S GOING ON.

WE JUST CAN'T ADDRESS IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT A PART OF THE THE NOTICE FOR THE MEETINGS THAT WOULD BE TO THE PUBLIC.

SO AND SO YOU ARE VERY WELCOME TO COME BACK NEXT WEEK.

AND I KNOW YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO OR IN TWO WEEKS BUT COME.

YEAH TWO WEEKS. AND YOU CAN COME BACK EVERY TIME AFTER THAT.

LIKE I SAID EARLIER, WE'RE HERE TO LISTEN TO YOU.

BELIEVE ME, WE WOULD LOVE TO RESOLVE AS MANY OF THESE ISSUES AS WE CAN AND JUST NOT ALWAYS ON YOUR TIMELINE.

YOU KNOW, IT DOES TAKE TIME, SOMETIMES MORE THAN PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR.

BUT I APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE.

AND YOU BELIEVE ME, WE'RE LISTENING.

BUT LIKE, WE CAN'T GO ANY FURTHER THAN THAT.

[02:40:01]

WHEN I CALLED TO GET OFF AGENDA, MA'AM, I'M THE CITY ATTORNEY, AND I CAN ADDRESS THAT.

SO WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT, THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT IS STATE LAW THAT DICTATES HOW WE DO THE MEETINGS.

AND THE CITY SECRETARY TELLS ME THAT YOU CALLED YESTERDAY AND ASKED, IS THAT CORRECT? SO, MA'AM, THE STATE LAW SAYS THAT WE HAVE TO POST AN AGENDA.

WE DO IT ELECTRONICALLY AND IN CITY HALL, AND WE HAVE TO DO IT 72 HOURS BEFORE THE MEETING.

OKAY. SO YOUR REQUEST.

SO IT CAME TOO LATE, RIGHT.

SO THE CITY SECRETARY 72 HOURS EARLIER.

RIGHT. SO YOU JUST NEED TO COMMUNICATE WITH CITY SECRETARY, AND THEN THE CITY SECRETARY WILL COMMUNICATE WITH THE CITY MANAGER.

BUT IT'S STATE LAW.

IT'S GOT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO AS, AS, AS THE MAYOR AND MAYOR PRO TEM SAID, BY STATE LAW, WE'RE ONLY ALLOWED TO DISCUSS THE THINGS THAT WE PUT IN THE AGENDA, AND WE POSTED OUR AGENDA 72 HOURS BEFORE THE MEETING.

SO WE WOULD VIOLATE STATE LAW IF WE TREATED YOUR, TOPIC THE SAME AS THE OTHER ONE THAT'S ALREADY ON THE AGENDA.

OKAY, OKAY, I'LL BE BACK.

MISS ROBINSON. I'LL COME BY YOUR HOUSE THIS WEEK.

YES. THANK YOU.

AND FOR WHAT, MISS ROBINSON? FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, THE WAY A CROW FLIES, WE DON'T LIVE TOO FAR FROM YOU.

WE HAVE WATER IN OUR DITCHES.

STILL, TOO. I'LL COME BY.

THIS IS NOT A NORMAL DITCH, THOUGH.

MR. MAYOR, I MAKE ONE QUICK COMMENT.

YES. I'D JUST LIKE TO TALK TO THE RESIDENTS.

IF YOU'RE NOT GETTING A NOTICE FOR THE HOA, PLEASE COME TALK TO ME.

IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. THAT'S HOW I MET WHITNEY.

HE WAS ON SOME OF OUR VIRTUAL MEETINGS AND GAVE GREAT INPUT DURING THEM.

SO IF YOU'RE NOT GETTING THAT, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO.

MAYBE YOU HAVE THE WRONG ADDRESS ON FILE.

WE NEED TO UPDATE YOUR ADDRESS BECAUSE WE DEFINITELY WANT TO GET YOU INVOLVED.

SO PLEASE TALK TO EITHER ME OR BRIAN AFTER THE MEETING AND WE'D BE HAPPY TO HELP YOU OUT.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

NOT GETTING A NOTICE? HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT GETTING ENOUGH, RIGHT? YOU KNOW? YES, SIR.

STATE YOUR NAME. ADDRESS? I MISS MR. MISTER. MISTER WHITNEY HOPKINS.

YOU WANT ME? TO COUNCIL.

JUST TO GET A CLARIFICATION.

I'M GOING BACK OVER STONE WALLS AND ALL THAT STUFF THERE.

THAT WAS NOT IN MY.

MY THING IS, LIKE I SAID, SAFETY OF THE KIDS.

IT'S WITHIN ME. THAT'S WHAT I DO TO PAY, PAY MY MORTGAGE IS SAFETY.

SO JUST TO GET A CLARIFICATION.

SO ON PHASE ONE AND TWO, ALL THE STUFF I ASKED FOR COULD HAVE BEEN DONE.

AM I CORRECT WITH THAT? YES. THAT WAS APPROVED.

OKAY. IT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE WAY BEFORE THIS WEEK.

OH YEAH. OKAY.

SO THREE AND FOUR.

HE COULD STILL BE DONE.

WE HAVE NOT SET THE WE HAVE NOT SET THE REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT YET.

SO THERE'S NO EXPIRATION DATE FOR ONE.

NO. SO YOU WANT TO WAIT WAIT WAIT FOR THE ADMINISTRATOR SAYING SOMETHING DIFFERENT HERE.

SO SO YOU'RE NOT INCORRECT MAYOR.

BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS WHATEVER THE DEVELOPER SAID THEY WERE GOING TO DO IN SECTION ONE AND TWO, IT CAN ONLY GO IN THOSE SECTIONS.

CORRECT? IT CAN'T GO.

SO THEY CAN'T DO WHAT THEY PROMISED TO DO IN ONE AND 2 IN 3 AND FOUR.

CORRECT. UNLESS THE COUNCIL AUTHORIZES THOSE EXPENSES AGAIN.

CORRECT. BUT BUT YES, SIR.

THEY CAN DO IT AT ANY TIME.

THERE'S NO TIME LIMIT. THEY WANT TO.

THERE'S NO EXPIRATION.

THAT'S WHAT MY. THAT'S WHY I LOOKED OVER AT YOU.

SO THE I MEAN, THE CITY OBVIOUSLY CAN HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE, RIGHT? BUT IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, HE'S NOT GOING TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THOSE UNTIL, AS WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT SO MANY TIMES, UNTIL HE SUBMITS PROOF AND AFFIDAVITS AND ALL THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY GOING TO BE IT'S GOING TO BE UP TO THE COUNCIL AS TO HOW HARD, YOU WANT TO PUSH IN TERMS OF, OF THAT. I WOULD REALLY LIKE JUDITH TO TALK TO YOU ALL ABOUT THAT IN CLOSED SESSION AS OPPOSED TO OPEN DISCUSSION.

GOT IT. OKAY.

THANK YOU. BUT BUT YEAH HE CAN STILL DO THOSE.

SO THREE AND FOUR IS STILL UP FOR.

YES. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING BECAUSE Y'ALL HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.

THANK YOU. APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

ALL RIGHT ANDRE CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME CLARITY.

THE PLAYGROUND WAS A PIT ELIGIBLE EXPENSE BECAUSE WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT A PIT.

ELIGIBLE EXPENSES IN SECTION IN SECTIONS ONE AND TWO.

IT WAS APPROVED, MICHAEL, AS AN AUTHORIZED IMPROVEMENT, I CAN GIVE YOU THE LIST AND 100, $188,000, I THINK, TO IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT, DOES IT HAVE TO BE OWNED BY IT? DOES IT HAS TO BE A PUBLIC PARK.

BUT IT DIDN'T MEET THE PARK SPECIFICATIONS FROM THE CITY, SO THEY DID THAT.

I KNOW, BUT YOU HAVE TO CONTINUE TO GO BACK UNTIL YOU GET TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR IT.

YEAH, BECAUSE THEY THEY Y'ALL AUTHORIZE THE FUNDING FOR IT.

IT'S IN THE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN.

WHAT MICHAEL IS TALKING ABOUT IS CITY STAFF SAID IT DOESN'T MEET Y'ALL'S CRITERIA, WHICH NO THAT'S STANDARD.

WE MET THE STANDARDS ON THAT PARK.

WE DID NOT. NO, SIR.

[02:45:03]

SO TO SPEAK TO YOU. YES.

PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM.

SO THAT'S A THAT'S A TWO PRONG COURT THERE.

SO MAYOR, JUST SO SO YOU KNOW, THERE'S THE FUNDING PIECE, WHICH IS WHAT WE DO AS AN ADMINISTRATOR.

AND THEN YOU HAVE YOUR STAFF THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE TO BUILDING IT TO CITY STANDARDS.

OKAY. THOSE ARE TWO DIFFERENT SHEETS.

OKAY. WE UNDERSTAND. JUST TO CLARIFY.

SO WHEN WE FIRST INITIATED THIS PROJECT, I BELIEVE IT WAS, I DON'T KNOW, PROBABLY SOMETIME IN 2018, MAYBE EVEN BEFORE THAT TIME WHERE THERE WERE THESE PROPOSED AMENITIES WHICH WERE LISTED OFF HERE THIS EVENING.

DURING THAT TIME, WE HAD A PARKLAND DEDICATION ORDINANCE THAT WAS ADOPTED AND APPROVED AND INCLUDED PARK STANDARDS, WHICH THIS PLAN DID NOT MEET.

BECAUSE WE REQUIRE A MINIMUM OF FIVE ACRES BE DEDICATED, IT CANNOT INCLUDE DETENTION AREAS, WHICH IN SECTION ONE AND TWO, WHICH YOU SAW DISPLAYED HERE THIS EVENING, IS A MAJORITY OF A DETENTION AREA.

SO WHEN BEFORE AGREEMENTS WERE EXECUTED, WE INFORMED THE DEVELOPER WHAT THE MINIMUM PARK STANDARDS WERE.

THEY DID NOT AGREE TO INSTALL THOSE AMENITIES.

SO WHAT YOU SEE TODAY IS THE PAVED PATH, THE WATER FEATURE.

THOSE WERE NOT REIMBURSED AS PARKLAND DEDICATION ITEMS. WE DID RECEIVE THE PARKLAND FEES BECAUSE OF THE APPLICATION FILING.

THEY WERE ABLE TO PAY THOSE PARKLAND DEDICATION FEES AT 575 PER PER DWELLING UNIT.

AGAIN, NEW DEVELOPMENTS FROM HERE ON OUT.

THEY ABIDE BY THE NEW PARKLAND DEDICATION ORDINANCE, WHICH IS MUCH MORE, COSTLY IN MOST CASES BECAUSE OF THE COST OF LAND IS GOING UP AND THE DEVELOPMENT COST OF PARKLAND IMPROVEMENTS ARE GOING UP.

AND SO WE HAVE CAPTURED THAT IN THE NEW PARKLAND DEDICATION ORDINANCE.

SO WHAT IS INSTALLED TODAY? ALL MY MAY WANT TO SPEAK TO WHAT ALL WILL BE ADDED.

I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR HIM, BUT I DO NOT ANTICIPATE ANY OF THE OTHER PARK AMENITIES BEING INSTALLED.

I THINK WHAT IS CURRENTLY THERE IS WHAT THE RESIDENTS CAN EXPECT TO SEE, BUT AGAIN, I WON'T SPEAK FOR HIM.

YEAH. SO SHE'S RIGHT.

THE DISCUSSION ON THIS WAS WHAT WE COULD PUT IN SECTIONS THREE AND FOUR, BECAUSE DURING THE DISCUSSION SHE IS RIGHT.

I FORGOT THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH LAND TO MEET MINIMUM PARK REQUIREMENTS.

SO WE WANTED TO DO THE SOCCER FIELDS AND THE PLAYGROUND, BUT IT JUST DIDN'T MEET THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT THAT SHE HAD, AND WE JUST DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH SPACE TO DO A PUBLIC PARK.

SO. SO INSTEAD WE HAD TO PAY THE PARK FEE INSTEAD OF BUILDING THE PARK.

SO I'M JUST CONFUSED BECAUSE AND I'M NOT PICKING A SIDE, I'M JUST TRYING TO EDUCATE MYSELF.

SO EARLIER OR MISS BARNES STATED THAT BECAUSE SECTION ONE AND TWO WAS A CASH PIT, THERE WOULD BE A REIMBURSEMENT REQUIREMENT UPON COMPLETION, CERTIFICATION AND COMPLETION.

SHE ALSO STATED THAT PART OF THE AGREEMENT WAS THAT YOU WERE GOING TO SPEND ABOUT $88,000 ON YOUR PARK AREA, ON A PLAYGROUND, PLAYGROUND, ON YOUR PLAYGROUND.

AND SO WHAT YOU'RE BASICALLY TELLING THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE IS YOU'RE JUST GOING TO FOREGO THAT PLAYGROUND AND THE $88,000 THAT WOULD BE REIMBURSED.

THIS IS NOT A DECISION BEING MADE.

NOW, THIS IS A DECISION WE MADE WITH Y'ALL TO PAY THE PARK FEE INSTEAD OF GO BUILD THOSE.

THAT WAS THE DISCUSSION WAS SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S A DISAGREEMENT ON Y'ALL AND WHAT THE WHAT THE AGREEMENT SAYS.

I DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

I'M NOT TRYING TO PICK A SIDE.

I'M JUST SAYING Y'ALL MIGHT WANT TO REVIEW THAT FOR YOUR SIR.

THAT'S WHAT I THE WAY I UNDERSTAND IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S A COMPLETE DISPARITY OR Y'ALL SEEM TO BE ON DIFFERENT BELIEFS OF WHAT THAT AGREEMENT SAYS.

BECAUSE I HEARD ABOUT I HEARD A BOUNCE FOR ITEMS TOTALING $425,000.

AND NOW THE ITEMS THAT, THAT SHE KIND OF HAS RECONCILED IN A LIST YOU HAVE, THERE'S A DISCREPANCY WITH WHAT YOU BELIEVE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO PROVIDE, BECAUSE THOSE REQUIREMENTS, WHEN WE PUT IN THAT ORIGINAL 425,000 THAT WAS INCLUDING OUR ORIGINAL PARK PLAN, ALL THAT WAS DESIGNED, ORIGINALLY WHEN WE DID THE SAP POST GETTING THAT SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN APPROVED, THE CITY DECIDED THAT WHAT WE HAD DID NOT MEET MINIMUM PARK STANDARDS AFTER WE GOT THAT APPROVED.

SO THE AMOUNT THAT WE WERE SPENDING FOR OUR PARK WAS ADJUSTED.

AND INSTEAD OF GOING TO BUILD THAT $88,000, PLAYGROUND, THE CITY REQUESTS US TO PAY A FEE IN LIEU OF.

SO INSTEAD, WE PAID INTO A PARK FEE INSTEAD OF BUILDING THE PARK ON OUR, FACILITIES.

I THINK I THINK I THINK WE'RE WHERE OUR CONFUSION IS HERE IS WE BELIEVE AND BASED ON WHAT P3 WORKS, IS SAYING, THAT THOSE ITEMS THAT SHE READ OFF WERE IN ADDITION TO THE FEE THAT YOU WERE GOING TO PAY FOR THE CITY PARKS.

[02:50:04]

YOU MAY DISAGREE WITH THIS, BUT THIS IS THIS IS OUR PROBLEM.

THIS IS WHAT WE'RE BEING. THIS IS I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT YOU UNDERSTAND, RIGHT, TRAVIS? THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT I HEARD.

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. I UNDERSTOOD IT AS WELL.

THAT'S WHAT WE UNDERSTAND.

SO HEREIN LIES THE PROBLEM.

AND SO. YES, MA'AM.

I'M SORRY. THE STUFF GETS REALLY COMPLICATED.

SO IF THE COUNCIL WANTS TO AUTHORIZE MR. FOLEY TO PUT THOSE ITEMS THAT HE SAYS HE DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH ACREAGE FOR IN SECTIONS THREE AND FOUR, YOU CAN AUTHORIZE HIM TO DO THAT BEFORE YOU APPROVE THE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN.

BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COUNCIL KNOWS, AND MR. FOLEY UNDERSTANDS THAT THAT WILL BE CONSIDERED A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT.

AND A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT MEANS THAT IT BENEFITS THE ENTIRE PYD, BECAUSE THE ASSESSMENTS FOR A NUMBER ONE OR FOR RIVERWOOD RANCH HAVE ALREADY BEEN LEVIED.

YOU CANNOT MAKE THOSE RESIDENTS PAY FOR THAT.

GUESS WHO HAS TO PAY FOR THAT SECTION? MR. FOLEY DOES AS AN OWNER'S CONTRIBUTION, BUT HE CAN GET REIMBURSED FOR THE PART THAT BENEFITS THREE AND FOUR.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING YOU MAY WANT TO NEGOTIATE WITH HIM.

JUST A MOMENT AGO THAT THERE WERE $400,000 IN, THAT THAT IS CORRECT, SIR.

SO THAT THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE, THE ASSESSMENT ON THAT IF HE SAYS HE'S NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT, AND I'M GOING TO GO BACK AND TALK WITH STAFF IN ONE AND TWO AS WE DISCUSSED. RIGHT? CORRECT? CORRECT. BUT IF HE PUTS IT IN THREE AND FOUR AND IT AND HE CAN SHOW BENEFIT TO ONE AND TWO, THEN, THEN YOU CAN AUTHORIZE IT IN THREE AND FOUR.

BUT IT'S GOING TO BE LISTED AS A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT.

AND HE WILL HAVE TO PAY.

SO WE ALLOCATE BASED ON BUILD OUT VALUES.

AND SO WE WOULD CALCULATE A PERCENTAGE WHICH LET'S SAY A TWOS BENEFIT TOTAL OF 50%.

JUST TO KEEP IT SIMPLE.

THEN HE WOULD HAVE TO COVER THE 50% FOR A ONE AND TWO OR A ONE, WHICH IS SECTIONS ONE AND TWO.

BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GO BACK AND ADJUST THEIR ASSESSMENT.

IT'S SET WELL. WE'RE DONE.

I DON'T THINK WE'RE I DON'T THINK WE'RE DISCUSSING ADJUSTMENT OF ASSESSMENT.

NO YOU'RE NOT, BUT I'M JUST LETTING YOU KNOW AND MR. FOLEY KNOW IF Y'ALL WANT TO NEGOTIATE TO, FOR HIM TO DO THOSE IMPROVEMENTS, BUT DO THEM IN THREE AND FOUR.

YOU CAN DO THAT.

BUT BUT HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO COVER THE ALLOCATION FOR ONE AND TWO.

WELL AND NOT GET REIMBURSED FOR IT.

THAT'S THE KEY.

WELL I THINK I THINK WHAT WE'RE I THINK WHAT WHAT WE'VE BEEN ASKING IS A WHAT WHAT IS WHAT ARE WHAT IS WHAT IS THE REQUIREMENT FOR HIM TO MEET HIS OBLIGATIONS OF THE PYD AND TO GET REIMBURSED BECAUSE HE'S GOT TO DO IT.

HE'S GOT TO HIT EVERY LINE ITEM, RIGHT? THAT'S CORRECT. AND SO AND SO IF THOSE EXIST, DO YOU HAVE PLANS TO DO THAT OR NOT? AND IS IT AND IS IT WAS IT A LAND ISSUE.

AND THAT'S THE REASON IT'S NOT GETTING DONE.

THIS IS JUST A DEAD END.

RIGHT? MICHAEL? I MEAN THAT'S THAT'S REALLY THE QUESTION.

I'M I'M TRYING MY BEST TO GO THROUGH ALL THE PAST DISCUSSIONS THAT GOT US TO THE POINT OF DEFERRING IT.

I DON'T THINK YOU'RE GOING TO GET THERE.

IT'S HARD TO I MEAN, WITHOUT GOING BACK TO THE START, I MEAN HOW THE PARK WAS ENVISIONED AND WHERE IT GOT TO.

I MEAN, IT WAS A LONG ROAD.

WE DON'T WANT TO PUT BLAME ON EITHER SIDE.

WE WANT TO GET A PARK IN THERE, AND WE WANT IT TO BE A PIT ELIGIBLE EXPENSE.

AND HOW WE CAN GET THERE.

HAPPY TO DO IT. WELL, I GUESS I GUESS.

HERE, HERE'S WHAT AND I'LL JUST GO THROUGH IT AGAIN.

THIS IS WHAT MY UNDERSTANDING WAS FROM THE GET GO, WAS THAT THERE WERE GOING TO BE CERTAIN AMENITIES THAT WERE GOING TO BE PROVIDED, AND THOSE WERE GOING TO BE IN ADDITION TO WHAT WAS PAID IN THE PARKS, FEE THAT YOU PAID.

SO YOU WERE GOING TO DO THAT.

AND THEN THERE WERE ALSO GOING TO BE SOME ADDITIONAL AMENITIES THAT YOU WERE GOING TO GET REIMBURSED FOR ONCE THOSE WERE COMPLETED.

AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU WERE GOING TO PUT THOSE WHERE WE WANTED TO DO IT.

AFTER GETTING THE SERVICE ASSESSMENT APPROVED, THE CITY SAID, DID ANY PARK SPECIFICATION, SO THEY DIDN'T WANT US TO BUILD IT.

THEY'D RATHER US PAY A FEE.

SO THE PARK NEVER GOT BUILT.

THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT HAPPENED.

I MEAN, BUT I THOUGHT THAT I JUST I AGREE WITH YOUR I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING AND I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO BE SCATTERED AROUND SOMEWHERE.

I MEAN I MEAN, YOU ASKED FOR IT AS A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT, RIGHT? I MEAN, THE ORIGINAL ONE AND TWO, YOU'RE HERE FOR A PID.

YOU DESIGNATED THAT AS YOUR YOUR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT, THAT YOU WERE GOING TO PUT A PARK IN THERE.

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE DONE.

THE REASON WE'RE NOW ASKING QUESTIONS IS BECAUSE WE HAVE RESIDENTS OF ANGLETON WHO ARE COMING TO US AND WANTING US TO GET ANSWERS.

SO WE'RE NOW ASKING THESE QUESTIONS OF YOU TO TRY TO ATTEMPT TO ELICIT SOME OF THESE ANSWERS OF WHERE YOUR DEVELOPMENT IS HEADED AND.

TO THEIR RELIANCE UPON THE SALES OF AND THE PURCHASE OF THEIR HOMES, OF AMENITIES THAT WOULD BE PRESENTED.

[02:55:07]

THAT IT SOUNDS LIKE TO ME THAT I KEEP COMING BACK TO WHAT YOU BELIEVE YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR, AND WHAT WE'RE SAYING YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS YOU CAN KEEP REPEATING.

WE'RE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IT, BUT THE CONTRACT SAYS OTHERWISE.

THAT'S THE AND SO AND SO.

SO YOU CAN WE CAN ARGUE AND DISAGREE.

AND THAT'S WHEN LAWYERS GET INVOLVED.

I GET ALL THAT. BUT RIGHT NOW OUR ASSESSMENT P3, SHE IS INDICATING TO US THAT THERE IS A CERTAIN AMOUNT THAT IN YOUR PID THAT BY YOUR DEFERRAL OR NOT SEEKING TO PUT IT IN THERE, YOU WILL NEVER RECOVER FOR BECAUSE YOU SET OUT A BASE AMOUNT THAT WE WILL EXPEND ON THIS.

AND YOU ARE NOW SAYING WE ARE NOT GOING TO EXPEND ON THIS.

AND SO THEREFORE, WHEN YOU'RE THAT ASSESSMENT COMES IN, YOU WILL NEVER BE REIMBURSED FOR IT BECAUSE YOU NEVER SPENT IT.

HOW COULD YOU BE REIMBURSED FOR SOMETHING THAT YOU NEVER SPENT, EVEN THOUGH YOU COULDN'T BE REIMBURSED FOR IT? EXACTLY. SO AND THAT COMES BACK TO THIS WHAT THE PID HAS ALREADY BEEN ASSESSED.

SO THEN THAT SAYS TO MY RESIDENTS THAT LIVE IN ANGLETON BEHIND YOU, THAT ARE UPSET OR DISAPPOINTED THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A PART, IT DOESN'T APPEAR YOU'RE GOING TO GET A PARK.

THAT'S ALL I CAN APPEAR ON SECTIONS ONE AND TWO, SECTIONS THREE AND FOUR.

WE CAN NEGOTIATE, BUT AS IT SETS OUT, THERE WILL NOT BE.

ONE IS WHAT I'M HEARING FROM MR..

I WOULD LOVE TO BUILD A PARK I DON'T I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU KEEP PUTTING THIS BACK ON ME FROM DAY ONE.

WHEN I BROUGHT THIS PROJECT IN, I SAID, I WANT TO BUILD A PARK.

I TRIED EVERYTHING I CAN DO TO BUILD A PARK.

I PROBABLY MADE MEGAN REALLY ANGRY ABOUT HOW MUCH I CALLED HER ABOUT TRYING TO GET A PARK DONE.

THEY DIDN'T WANT THE PARK THERE, SO WE ABANDONED IT.

I'D STILL LOVE TO DO IT TO THIS DAY, AND I'D LOVE TO WORK WITH YOU TO FIGURE IT OUT.

SO I'M HAPPY TO SIT DOWN WITH YOU ALL TOMORROW MORNING AND FIGURE OUT WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO GET A PARK IN SECTIONS ONE AND TWO, OR NOT WANT TO PARK THERE? WE IT DIDN'T MEET THE STANDARDS THAT WE SET THAT THE COUNCIL SET FORTH.

THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE.

AND WE WEREN'T GOING TO ASK THE COUNCIL TO SPEND PUBLIC MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT WASN'T THE STANDARD, BECAUSE THEN THE NEXT PERSON IS GOING TO COME IN AND SAY, WELL, YOU GAVE HIM A WAIVER.

WE WANT A WAIVER, TOO.

I UNDERSTAND THAT, CHRIS, BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT WE WERE TOLD THE PARK FEES WOULD BE WAIVED, AND THAT WAS ANOTHER 60 GRAND THAT WE WEREN'T ABLE TO PUT INTO THE PARKS THAT WE COULD HAVE DONE AS A PRIVATE PARK WITHOUT HAVING TO GET REIMBURSED.

IF WE WEREN'T ABLE TO MAINTAIN THOSE PARK FEES, WE WOULD HAVE PUT THAT INTO A PLAYGROUND.

SO, I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT GOT US TO THIS POINT.

I'M HAPPY TO TALK A SOLUTION AND FIGURE IT OUT THOUGH.

I MEAN, I WANT TO GET A RESIDENT SOMETHING THERE, AND THAT'S WHY I MET WITH THEM TODAY, AND THAT'S WHY I'M HAPPY THEY'RE HERE.

AND I'VE BEEN REACHING OUT TO THEM TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE CAN DO TO GET TO THIS POINT.

WELL, SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE PID MONEY AVAILABLE.

I MEAN, IT'S A REIMBURSABLE FOR ONE AND TWO.

AND MY QUESTION TO YOU IS FOR THE ITEMS THAT YOU LAID OUT THAT 450,000.

IS IT NEGOTIABLE INSIDE OF THERE? SO IF THERE'S FIVE ITEMS THAT MAKE UP THE 450,000, IF HE JUST SAYS, I'LL PUT A PLAYGROUND IN AND IT MEETS CITY STANDARDS AND IN LIEU HE TAKES OUT THREE LINES OF IT.

CAN HE DO THAT? OR DOES HE HAVE TO SPEND 88,000 ON A PLAYGROUND AND LIKE THOSE LINE ITEMS THAT ARE IN THERE, CAN HE CONDENSE? SO WHEN WHEN THEY SUBMIT THEIR EPC, WHICH IS THEIR ENGINEER'S REPORT, IT DOES GIVE ALL THAT DETAIL.

AND THE DRAW TEAM WHENEVER HE SUBMITS HIS INVOICES, DO LOOK FOR THAT.

HOWEVER, I WILL HAVE TO DEFER THIS ONE TO JUDITH BECAUSE I'M NOT, VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE FACILITIES AND COST REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT, WHICH APPLIES TO SECTIONS ONE AND TWO, WHICH IS DIFFERENT THAN THE AGREEMENT ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA, TO SEE IF IT ALLOWS FOR YOU.

IF HE HAS COST UNDERRUNS, WHICH THIS COULD BE CONSIDERED A COST UNDER RUN BECAUSE HE DIDN'T SPEND ANY OF IT TO SUBSTITUTE TO ALLOW HIM TO SUBSTITUTE.

JUDITH WILL HAVE TO REVIEW THAT.

YEAH, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT AGREEMENT, BUT THAT IS A WAY THAT YOU CAN POTENTIALLY I WON'T SAY 100% YOU CAN, BUT THAT IS A WAY YOU CAN POTENTIALLY NEGOTIATE WITH HIM TO GET SOMETHING FOR SECTIONS ONE AND TWO.

AND THEN POINT OF CLARIFICATION FOR, FOR THE STAFF IS HOW DID THE DEVELOPER'S AGREEMENT NOT JIVE WITH THE PIT ASSESSMENT? IF IF HE'S SAYING HE PAID HIS PARKLAND DEDICATION INSTEAD OF BUT IT STILL WAS IN THE PID.

BECAUSE SHE HAS IT IN THE PID THEN DID WE MISS THAT? THIS IS A DIFFERENT TYPE OF DEAL.

THERE IS NO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT LIKE WE HAVE FOR OUR OTHER DEVELOPMENTS.

LIKE FOR ASHLAND, FOR EXAMPLE.

THERE IS NO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, THERE'S A REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT, THERE'S A FACILITIES REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT.

[03:00:02]

SO THAT'S WHY IT JUST LOOKS DIFFERENT FROM THE GET GO.

I THOUGHT FROM THE DA ON ON RIVERWOOD RANCH, JUST THE REIMBURSEMENT, THE FACILITIES REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT EXECUTED IN 2020.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER SUBDIVISIONS THAT WE'VE COME IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS THAT DIDN'T HAVE A DEVELOPER'S AGREEMENT? I THOUGHT THEY ALL DID. THEY ALL THOUGHT HE CAME TO THE MARCH 30TH, 2020 MEETING OR WHATEVER IT WAS, WHERE WE HAD EVERYBODY TALKING ABOUT THE DEVELOPERS AGREEMENT.

AND AND WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE DEVELOPERS AGREEMENT, YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE FACILITIES REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT.

OKAY. YEAH.

SO, I MEAN, SO THERE'S PLENTY OF PROVISIONS IN THERE, LIKE THE HOA PROVISIONS ARE IN THAT AGREEMENT.

SO IT RESEMBLES A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE EVERYTHING LIKE WE HAVE IN OUR CURRENT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS WITH THE PARK FEES AND THE CAF. SO I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT HAPPENED.

ON NEGOTIATIONS FOR THE PARK BEFORE 2020 BECAUSE WE WERE NOT INVOLVED.

THIS WAS AFTER 2020.

BECAUSE I REMEMBER HE CAME TO THE MEETING IN MARCH OF 2020.

OKAY. SO THAT THOSE DISCUSSIONS WERE THAT WHATEVER THE PARK WAS BEING PROPOSED DID NOT MEET OUR ORDINANCE, OUR PARK ORDINANCE.

SO I, I THINK THAT'S THE COMPONENT THAT IS BEING MISSED FROM THE DIALOG WE'RE RECEIVING FROM THE DEVELOPER.

I WANTED TO PUT A PARK IN, BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO COMPLY WITH YOUR CITY ORDINANCES.

THAT IS THE COMPLETE SENTENCE.

OKAY. I THINK WE'VE REALLY BEAT THIS ONE TO DEATH.

SO WHAT? WHAT? REAL QUICK ON YOUR AMENITIES THAT HE'S NOT PUT IN YET.

ON ON ZONE ONE AND TWO.

YOU'RE SAYING HE COULD PUT THOSE IN ON ZONE THREE AND FOUR AND SO.

SO IT'S A DIFFERENT PET.

IT IS. BUT HE COULD IF THE COUNCIL IF WE AGREED IT IF WE AGREED ONLY IF WE AGREED.

YEAH. OKAY. YEAH. HE DOESN'T HE DOESN'T GET TO SUBSTITUTE AUTOMATICALLY.

NO SIR. THE COUNCIL OWNS IT AND THEY THEY HAVE TO AGREE TO IT OKAY.

SO. AND HE'D HAVE TO PAY 50% OF IT I'M SORRY.

HE'D HAVE TO PAY 50% OF IT.

SORRY. MY THROAT. I'M JUST I WAS JUST USING THAT AS A AS AN EXAMPLE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ACTUAL ALLOCATION WOULD BE.

BUT IT'S A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT.

BUT IF IT BENEFITED.

SO IF HE PUT IT IN AND HE LOCATED IT IN THREE AND FOUR, BUT THERE WAS CONNECTIVITY TO IT FROM FOR SECTIONS ONE AND TWO.

AND HE SAID, YOU KNOW, IT BENEFITS ONE AND TWO AS WELL.

HE CANNOT GET ANY MONEY FOR THE BENEFIT TO ONE AND TWO.

HE CAN ONLY GET THE PERCENTAGE THAT BENEFITS THREE AND FOUR.

SO HE WOULD HAVE TO EAT THOSE COSTS FOR ONE AND TWO.

OKAY. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? YES, YES OKAY.

SO IT'S REALLY UP TO THE COUNCIL AND WHETHER YOU WANT TO NEGOTIATE WITH HIM OR NOT TO TRY TO GET SOMETHING IN THAT WOULD BENEFIT THE ENTIRE PIT.

AND IF IT DOES, IT'S CALLED A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT.

AND THEN WE ALLOCATE BASED ON BUILD OUT VALUES.

AND BECAUSE ONE, ONE AND TWO IS ALREADY BEEN ASSESSED, HE CANNOT GO BACK AND REASSESS THAT TO THEM, TO THOSE HOMEOWNERS HE HAS TO EAT THAT COST OKAY.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE.

YES. OKAY. I THINK WE'RE THAT COST AND FACILITY OR THAT FACILITIES AND COST REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT.

MR. MAYOR, WAS APPROVED IN JULY OF 2020.

RIGHT? YES.

OKAY. AND AND JUDITH IS RIGHT.

THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL TO SEE PIT SET UP THIS WAY.

P3 WASN'T INVOLVED WHEN IT FIRST STARTED.

I DON'T THINK JUDITH WAS EITHER, BECAUSE TYPICALLY THERE'S A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT HAPPENS BEFORE YOU EVER EVEN USUALLY BEFORE THE PITS CREATED OR AT THE SAME TIME THAT IT'S CREATED. AND THEN THE REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT COMES LATER.

SO THAT'S TYPICALLY THE WAY IT'S DONE.

THANK YOU. AND SO SO AND SO AT THIS POINT RIGHT HERE WHERE WE'RE SITTING AT IS THAT THE THE, MONIES WERE ASSESSED FOR CITY PARKS IN LIEU OF PROVIDING A PARK IN SECTIONS ONE AND TWO.

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

AND I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THIS FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE HERE.

AND I. AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT, MICHAEL.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT DISCUSSIONS YOU HAD.

THE PROBLEM IS, IS THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE THE DISCONNECT.

THAT IS CORRECT.

AND AND.

YES. AND AND AS A PART OF HIS PID, HIS PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT, WHICH INCLUDED ROCK WALLS AND SIGNAGE, IT ALSO INCLUDED A PARK. SO EVEN THOUGH HE PAID A FEE AND HE'S IN HIS PID, IT SAYS HE PROVIDES A PART.

BUT IF HE DOESN'T PROVIDE THOSE AMENITIES HE FORGOES, HE FORGOES THE REIMBURSEMENT.

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT.

BUT BUT AGAIN, THIS IS SIMPLY THIS EXERCISE RIGHT HERE IS SIMPLY TO INFORM YOU GUYS OF OF WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

BECAUSE THIS ISN'T THIS ISN'T AN APPROVAL ISSUE FOR US.

WE FIELD THE BALL AS IT COMES OUR DIRECTION.

SO IF I WANTED TO GO PUT A PLAYGROUND IN THERE, WOULD I STILL HAVE TO GO BACK THROUGH WITH YOU, MEGAN, TO KNOW THAT WOULD BE AT YOUR COST?

[03:05:07]

SO THEN IT'S NOT A PID ELIGIBLE EXPENSE? NO, NOT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND.

WE'VE ALREADY COLLECTED PARKLAND DEDICATION FEES FOR SECTION ONE AND TWO BECAUSE THESE PARK AMENITIES ARE OUTLINED IN THE PID.

FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THE HOW THE AGREEMENT IS WRITTEN IS THAT HE CAN STILL PUT IN THE SOCCER GOALS IN THE DETENTION POND.

IT WILL NOT MEET OUR PARK STANDARDS, BUT THAT IS AN ADDITIONAL EXPENSE THAT HE CAN EXPEND IF HE CHOOSES AND MEET AND MEET THE.

IT WILL NOT MEET OUR PARK STANDARDS, BUT IT WILL IF WE'LL RECONCILE YOUR THE PID RIGHT? YEAH, BUT CAN I GET CAN WE.

IS IT A PIT ELIGIBLE EXPENSE IF I GO PUT A PLAYGROUND IN THERE? IF YOU MEET THE LINE ITEMS, THE CITY WOULD HAVE TO AGREE TO ACCEPT THAT PLAYGROUND.

SO PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE.

I HATE TO INTERRUPT, BUT SEE THE RUB? YES. SO YOU'RE.

SO THAT WOULD BE THE CITY SAYING IT'S OKAY.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO FOLLOW OUR OWN ORDINANCES.

YEAH. BUT THAT GOES BACK TO MY QUESTION.

IF HE PUTS A PLAYGROUND IN THAT MEETS CITY STANDARDS, BUT IT ALSO DOESN'T MEET THE FIVE ACRES, WE YEAH, WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH LAND.

I'M NOT TELLING HIM WHERE TO PUT IT.

I'M JUST SAYING IF YOU COULD FIND A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN MEET CITY STANDARDS, IT IS THE ELIGIBLE AND UNDER THIS PIN THAT WOULD RECONCILE TOGETHER.

IF THE CITY ACCEPTS IT, CORRECT? YES. IT WOULD MEET OUR STANDARDS.

WE WOULD ACCEPT IT, YES, BUT IT WOULD HAVE TO FOLLOW ALL THE ALL OF OUR REQUIREMENTS AND IT WOULD BE REIMBURSABLE TO HIM BECAUSE IT'S LISTED IN THE PID.

BUT MY QUESTION WAS TO DO THAT.

LET'S SAY IT TAKES $150,000 INSTEAD OF 88,000.

COULD HE RECONCILE BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT BUCKETS WHICH YOU DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO? SO YOU'RE ASKING, COULD HE GET REIMBURSED FOR AN AMOUNT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT HE SUBMITTED? CORRECT. ONLY IF THERE'S COST UNDER RUNS AND THE FACILITIES AND REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT.

COST REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT? I DON'T EVEN LIKE THE NAME OF IT.

I KNOW IT'S A TONGUE TWISTER.

AUTHORIZES THAT BECAUSE NOT ALL OF THEM DO.

SOME CITIES SAY NO.

IF YOU HAVE COST UNDER RUNS, YOU CANNOT TAKE LIKE YOU'RE SAYING, MAYOR, YOU CAN'T TAKE MONIES FROM THIS BUCKET AND USE IT IN THIS BUCKET.

IT REALLY DEPENDS ON THE CITY.

AND THAT'S ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT PIDS IS THAT THAT ALL FALLS WITHIN YOUR PURVIEW, AND YOU CAN DECIDE HOW YOU WANT THINGS TO OPERATE IN THAT PID.

WELL, WE KEEP WE KEEP GOING BACK AND TALKING ABOUT PARKS THOUGH, AND STANDARDS FOR PARKS.

BUT THE LINE ITEMS THAT HE HAS ON HIS ON HIS PID ARE SEPARATE LINE ITEMS THAT I DON'T SEE REALLY REFERRING TO A PARK AS A WHOLE.

SO YOU'RE TELLING ME IN A DEVELOPMENT I COULDN'T JUST HAVE AN EMPTY LOT AND PUT A PUT, PUT A COUPLE OF SOCCER GOALS ON IT, RIGHT, RIGHT.

CITY STANDARDS. SO THE BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, THE WAY IF I WROTE MY NOTES DOWN CORRECTLY IS A PICNIC AREA AND THEN A PLAYGROUND.

IT DOESN'T SAY NECESSARILY A PARK BUT A PLAYGROUND.

SO JUST LIKE A JUNGLE GYM OR SOMETHING, WHO KNOWS? YOU COULD I DON'T KNOW, BUT HE'S HE'S HE'S SUPPOSED.

THAT'S WHAT YOUR IT'S YOUR AGREEMENT, SIR.

I WANTED TO, BUT APPARENTLY WE CAN'T BUILD IT.

THOSE WOULDN'T MEET CITY SPECS, SO.

SO THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION IS, I DON'T KNOW.

WITHOUT THE PARK STAFF LOOKING AT WHATEVER THE PLANS ARE AND COMPARING IT, WE'LL BE HERE ALL NIGHT.

IT'S A, YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S NOT JUST A YES OR NO ANSWER.

IT'S OH MY GOODNESS. WE'LL HAVE TO HAVE STAFF LOOK AND COMPARE IT TO WHAT OUR ORDINANCES ALLOW US.

IT'S LIKE WE DID BEFORE WE ASKED THEM FOR SUBMIT YOUR PLANS SO WE CAN REVIEW THEM.

AND WE REVIEWED THEM.

AND THE ANSWER WAS NO, IT DOESN'T MEET OUR CURRENT STANDARDS.

RIGHT. BUT SOMEHOW THAT'S WHETHER WE ACCEPT IT OR NOT.

SOMEHOW IT GOT INTO THE PID.

SO WE'RE WE'RE ASSESSING THAT ON THE LOTS RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE COLLECTING THAT MONEY AND IT'S NEVER GOING TO BE BUILT.

SO WE'RE NOT COLLECTING THE MONEY BECAUSE HE CAN'T GET REIMBURSED UNLESS IT'S THERE.

YEAH. SO NO HE'S NOT COLLECTING THE MONEY.

I'M CORRECT ON THAT.

WE ARE COLLECTING THE MONEY FROM THE THE ASSESSMENT IS ASSESSMENT.

THAT'S CORRECT. IT'S BASED ON THE IT'S BASED ON THE TOTAL PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

YOU ARE CORRECT, SIR. RIGHT.

BUT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO OWN ANYTHING.

YOU'RE NOT PAYING HIM FOR IT.

BUT WE'RE JUST GOING TO COLLECT THE MONEY.

WE'RE JUST GOING TO SIT IN THE TREE.

TRUE. ONCE THE REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATION IS PAID IN FULL, ASSESSMENTS GO RIGHT.

CORRECT. THAT'S CORRECT.

SO IN THEORY IF YOU WE DO SORRY.

WE DO OKAY.

THAT'S CORRECT. BUT WE WE'RE JUST HOLDING IT.

WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING WITH IT.

YEAH. DON'T WORRY WE'RE NOT SPENDING YOUR MONEY ON ELSEWHERE.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE.

BUT THAT'S MY FRUSTRATION IS WE HAVE IT IN THE PID.

WE'RE ASSESSING IT. WE'RE COLLECTING IT FOR SOMETHING WE'RE NEVER GOING TO DO.

THEN WE'RE STUCK.

SO WE'RE GOING TO FIGURE THIS OUT.

CAN WE JUST I MEAN, WE'LL BUILD IT.

[03:10:02]

WELL, LET'S LET'S LET'S LET'S WE'LL TAKE THAT OUT.

LET'S MOVE ON. YEAH.

I THINK IT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO CIRCLE BACK.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE CAN RESOLVE, UNDERSTANDING AND CLEAR, FIGURE THIS OUT.

WITH THAT SAID, I THINK WE DID MAKE I DID I THINK WE DID MAKE SOME PROGRESS TONIGHT.

RIGHT. BUT I'M JUST SAYING WE'RE NOT GOING TO RESOLVE IT.

IT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE HASHED OUT.

I MEAN, I WOULD OFFER THAT HE WOULD SUBMIT PLANS WITH AN EXCEPTION TO POLICY.

AND, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD CHALK IT UP TO A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT OR SORRY, AGREEMENTS THAT WERE DONE BEFORE OUR TIME THAT WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE WORK FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY. CORRECT.

AND AS FOR CIRCLING ALL THE WAY THROUGH ELIMINATE THE REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE NORTH PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT, I THINK THERE'S STILL A LOT OF ACTION ITEMS, AND THEY COME OUT OF THIS AS WELL.

SO CORRECT.

COUNCILMAN SARTIN HAS THE LIST OF HEY, WHAT DO WE WANT SPECIFICALLY? WELL, ONE IS I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE INDEMNIFICATION AND HOW THAT WOULD WORK.

WHAT ELSE WE ALL WANT IN.

OUR OWNERSHIP I DON'T I'LL JUST MY.

THOUGHT IS I REALLY DON'T WANT TO EXTEND OURSELVES TO SIGNAGE, FLOATING FOUNTAINS OR, A BRICK WALL.

I DON'T SEE THE PUBLIC AS A GENERAL BENEFIT.

SIDEWALKS I'M FINE WITH IF YOU'VE GOT A HAVE SOME MAINTENANCE TO GO WITH THAT, THAT'S FINE TOO, BECAUSE THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

THAT'S JUST WHERE I SIT PRESENTLY.

SOMEBODY CAN CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE, BUT THAT'S WHERE I SIT.

SO I SUPPORT THE SIDEWALKS.

BUT THAT'S I THINK THE FENCING.

EVERYTHING ELSE IS KIND OF HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION.

YEAH. YEAH. AND.

SO WE MOVING THIS TO THE END OF FEBRUARY.

DOWN WITH THAT. YEAH.

DOES IT I MEAN, WE JUST TABLE IT IN FEBRUARY, SO IT SOUNDS LIKE WE WANT TO TABLE A DECISION ON THE REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT FOR RIVERWOOD RANCH NORTH, WHICH IS PHASES THREE AND FOUR.

AND BETWEEN NOW AND THEN, CITY COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF THE DEVELOPER CAN PROPOSE SOMETHING, ON THE PLAYGROUNDS OR WHATEVER.

AND YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT INDEMNIFICATION BY HOA, HOW WE CAN BEEF UP WHATEVER AGREEMENT, IF IN FACT, YOU ARE GOING TO APPROVE SOME OF THE THINGS FOR RIVER RED RANCH NORTH, AND YOU WANT TO KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THE JULY 2020 EXECUTED REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT FOR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, HAS THE WHETHER THE UNDER THE UNDER WHAT ARE YOU CALLING IT COST UNDER WHATEVER VARIANCE IN THE COST IS ALLOWABLE.

OKAY, I VERY GOOD JOB, JUDITH.

I'M SERIOUS. THAT'S A LOT.

ALL RIGHT. THAT WAS A MOUTHFUL.

WELL, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE US ON ITEM NUMBER 17.

I THINK YOU'LL BE OKAY IF WE CAN GET THE ISSUES RESOLVED ON THE OTHER ITEM, BECAUSE THEY'RE INTERRELATED RIGHT BEFORE THE MARCH 12TH MEETING.

THEN WE'LL MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IF NOT, THEN WE'LL HAVE TO RESCHEDULE IT.

BUT I WOULD GO AHEAD WITH, CONSIDERING AUTHORIZING OR APPROVING THE RESOLUTION THAT SCHEDULES THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE SURGE PLAN.

AND THE SURGE PLAN IS NOT REQUIRED TO BE ATTACHED.

SO THERE'S NO ACTION, REQUIRED IN REGARDS TO THAT, LIKE THERE WAS ON THE SAP FOR YOU TO ACCEPT IT.

I'D JUST LIKE TO PROVIDE IT SO THAT THE PUBLIC HAS EQUAL CHANCE TO REVIEW THAT DOCUMENT AS THEY DO THE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN, SINCE THEY'RE TYPICALLY ADOPTED TOGETHER.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

YOU WANT A TABLE 17.

I MEAN, THEY'RE ADOPTED TOGETHER, CORRECT? NO. SO DID I MISS.

YEAH. ITEM 17 IS YOU'RE JUST CALLING THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE FINAL FINANCE PLAN FOR THE TOURS.

ALL YOU'RE DOING IS THE STATE LAW IS VERY CLEAR THAT WE HAVE TO DO IT THIS WAY.

WELL, THEN I'LL, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO, TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION FOR HEARING, DATE ON THE AMENDED REINSTATED TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE.

TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER TWO, WHICH IS THE RIVERWOOD RANCH REINVESTMENT ZONE, PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 311 OF THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE TEXAS TAX CODE. SORRY. ALL RIGHT.

SO THIS IS THE ITEM THAT WE TALKED ABOUT LAST TIME.

AND. WHERE DO WHITNEY GO? HE HAD TO GO HOME AND STUDY FOR A TEST.

WHEN HE IS. MA'AM.

YES, MA'AM. OKAY.

COUNCIL. THERE'S FIVE POSITIONS.

WE CAN WE CAN CHANGE THAT IF WE WANTED TO.

RIGHT. AND THAT WAY YOU TOLD US, JUDAS.

YEAH, BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO TAKE THE ACTION TO DO THAT, OKAY? WELL, I LIKE HAVING WHITNEY ON THERE.

SO I'M NOT SURE WHO'S THE ODD MAN OUT.

[03:20:08]

I THINK HAVING SOMEBODY WHO'S IN THAT SUBDIVISION IS GOING TO BE A GOOD THING.

BUT THEY COULD DO A MOTION TO MAKE IT SIX PEOPLE AND THEN DO A MOTION TO APPOINT EVERYONE IF THEY WANTED TO.

RIGHT. WELL, HERE'S THE RUB.

WE HAVE BYLAWS FOR THE TOURS THAT WE CANNOT FIND EVIDENCE THAT WERE ACTUALLY ADOPTED.

SO THE BYLAWS DID SAY THAT YOU COULD HAVE MORE.

I'M ONLY CONCERNED THAT BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE EVIDENCE THAT THOSE WERE ADOPTED, I'M A LITTLE WORRIED.

I DON'T THINK THERE WAS ANY OTHER COUNCIL ACTION ON THIS.

WHAT? YOU DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING? ALL RIGHT, WELL, THEN WE'RE FINE.

I JUST IT'S THE WHAT WE DON'T KNOW THING THAT I'M WORRIED ABOUT, BUT I THINK THAT'S FINE.

YOU CAN TAKE THE ACTION TO, APPOINT, MORE THAN YOU HAD DECIDED TO APPOINT BEFORE, BECAUSE YOUR BYLAWS ALLOW YOU TO APPOINT MORE SO, AND STATE LAW ALLOWS YOU TO APPOINT A LOT MORE.

SO, YES, YOU CAN DO THAT.

JUST YOU HAVE TO VOTE ON IT.

YOU HAVE TO VOTE THAT YOU WANT TO INCREASE FROM FIVE.

YOU HAD FIVE PREVIOUSLY.

YOU WANT TO VOTE TO INCREASE THE NUMBER.

AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO VOTE ON WHO FILLS THOSE SLOTS.

AND LASTLY, PLEASE RECALL THAT THE POSITION NUMBER ONE IS THE PERSON THAT SERVES AS THE.

THE CHAIRMAN. OKAY.

COUNCIL MOVE TO HAVE SIX PERSONS ON THE ON THE BOARD.

OKAY. THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

DO YOU WANT ME TO VOTE ON THAT FIRST AND THEN.

YES, PLEASE. YES. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT, HOLD ON.

CAN YOU MAKE THAT CLEAR? BECAUSE I WALKED IN.

STEP RIGHT HERE. OKAY, SO WHAT DO WE VOTE ON? THE FIRST VOTE? THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ON THE FIRST APPOINTMENT.

I KNOW, AND I SAID I'D LIKE TO KEEP.

I'D LIKE WHITNEY TO BE ON THERE.

HE WAS HERE EARLY. AND RIVERWOOD.

HE'S A RIVERWOOD RESIDENT.

RESIDENT? SURE. BUT THAT WOULD LEAVE SOMEBODY OFF.

BUT WE CAN MOVE IT TO SIX PEOPLE, WHICH WOULD GIVE ALL SIX THAT ARE ON HERE.

APPOINTMENT. NOT ONLY I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND FOR MAKING IT SIX.

MY ONLY QUESTION IS, WELL, IF THERE'S A SPLIT, HOW DOES THAT WORK? LIKE, IF YOU HAD FIVE, THEN YOU WOULD HAVE A MAJORITY, A MAJORITY SIX.

YOU END UP WITH POTENTIALLY SPLIT.

IT'S KIND OF PROBLEMATIC.

YEAH. BUT YOU CAN HAVE THE SAME THING IF YOU ONLY HAD FOUR SHOW UP TO THE MEETING.

I UNDERSTAND, I MEAN RIGHT, BUT I MEAN AT LEAST WE TAKE THAT POTENTIALLY OUT OF OPTION.

I MEAN, IT SHOULD BE THE SAME WAY AS ON COUNCIL.

OR IF YOU HAVE YOU CAN'T GET A MAJORITY THEN IT DOESN'T PASS.

CORRECT. THAT'S FINE. YEAH, BUT YOU STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM OF WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU CAN'T GET THE MAJORITY, BECAUSE BY VIRTUE OF THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE AN EVEN NUMBER OR YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE RISK.

SO I TOTALLY HEAR WHAT TRAVIS IS SAYING.

YOU MAKE IT SEVEN.

WE DON'T HAVE SEVEN PEOPLE ON HERE, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE SOMEONE FILL THE SLOT RIGHT AWAY.

THAT'S. YEAH, WE MAKE IT MAKE A MOTION TO APPOINT SOMEBODY.

YEAH. MAYBE YOU WANT SOMEBODY ELSE FROM RIVERWOOD RANCH.

I LIKE THAT IDEA. I THINK THE PEOPLE THAT ARE VOTING, I MEAN, THEY NEED REPRESENTATION.

I MEAN, IT'S THEIR SUBDIVISION.

SEE, MISS AUDREY HARRIS AND MISS DAPHNE BROWN.

WOULD EITHER ONE BE INTERESTED? MISS HARRIS, WOULD YOU? MISS HARRIS WOULD BE INTERESTED.

OR WE CAN GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO BACK TO THEIR COMMUNITY.

I MEAN, THERE MIGHT BE SOMEBODY IN THE COMMUNITY THAT'S VERY INTERESTED.

SO SHE'S IN A COMMUNITY, I MEAN.

WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED? YES I WOULD.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, WELL, COUNSEL, YOU AMEND YOUR MOTION TO 70.

THINK SO? ALL RIGHT, SO I HAVE AN AMENDED MOTION BY COUNCILMAN BOOTH AND A SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN DANIEL.

CORRECT. GO AHEAD AND CALL FOR THE VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. WE WILL NOW HAVE A NUMBER TWO BOARD FULL, SEVEN PEOPLE.

WE HAVE SIX PEOPLE LISTED.

THAT IS JOHN WRIGHT, CECIL BOOTH, ROBIN CROUCH, JASON PEREZ, WHITNEY HOPKINS, MICHAEL FOLEY.

AND WE WILL ADD MISS AUDREY HARRIS.

CORRECT? TO THE LIST.

ANYBODY HAVE ANY NAMES THEY WANT TO TAKE OFF ADD, SUBTRACT I DON'T CARE.

WHAT DO YOU WANT? WELL, GOOD.

I'D LIKE TO PUT JOHN WRIGHT AS POSITION ONE.

OKAY. I SECOND THAT JOHN WRIGHT NEEDS TO BE THE CHAIR.

YEAH. ALL RIGHT.

THERE. YOU READ THE ORDINANCE NUMBER WHEN YOU READ THE I DID.

YOU'RE GOOD. OKAY.

YOU'RE GOOD. ALL RIGHT.

MOVING TO NUMBER 20.

THE OFFICE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT HAS FOUR GRANTS SUBMITTED TO THE TEXAS DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND FEMA.

[20. The Office of Emergency Management has four grants submitted to the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) and FEMA. Each grant is in varying stages of verification and approval. Two of the four grants are in the last approval phase with FEMA and TDEM. We are bringing these grants to the council due to the need for a commitment letter of matching funds and the potential for the needed funds in this budget year for the Angleton Recreation Center Generator.]

EACH GRANT IS IN VARYING STAGES OF VERIFICATION AND APPROVAL.

TWO OF THE FOUR GRANTS ARE IN THE LAST APPROVAL PHASE WITH FEMA.

ANTIETAM. WE ARE BRINGING THESE GRANTS TO THE COUNCIL DUE TO THE NEED FOR A COMMITMENT LETTER FOR MATCHING FUNDS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR THE NEEDS NEEDED FUNDS IN THIS BUDGET YEAR FOR THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER GENERATOR.

IT'S A 9010 SPLIT GRANT FOR A TOTAL OF.
