THANKS FOR THOSE THAT ARE IN ATTENDANCE TONIGHT AND THOSE LISTENING ONLINE, I'M GOING TO GO ON TO CITIZENS WISHING TO ADDRESS CITY COUNCIL.

[CITIZENS WISHING TO ADDRESS CITY COUNCIL]

HI. MY ISSUE WE HAVE A BIG PROBLEM IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WITH SPEEDERS.

I'VE TRIED TO DO IT THE RIGHT WAY. I GOT WITH THE SERGEANT VANDERGRIFF AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE HE'S IN CHARGE OF THAT RADAR MACHINE, AND I'VE EMAILED HIM SINCE AUGUST OF LAST YEAR, AND HE PROVIDED YESTERDAY SOME BOGUS PAPERWORK.

AND I DON'T I DON'T IT'S, IT'S IT'S GOT TO BE FABRICATED BECAUSE HE SAID HE DID THIS.

THIS MACHINE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IN JANUARY FOR FIVE DAYS.

AND THE READINGS FROM 2023 ARE SO MUCH LOWER TRAFFIC WISE.

SO THAT'S WHY I FIGURED IT'S GOT TO BE, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT IT'S NOT A REAL REPORT.

I THINK YOU JUST PRESENTED THAT TO US AND HE WANTS US TO JUST LEAVE IT ALONE.

FORGET ABOUT IT. BUT WE HAVE AN ISSUE. I HAD MY NEIGHBOR PRINT OUT SOME PAPERWORK CONCERNING ORDINANCES.

BANBURY. AS SMALL AS THEY ARE, THEY HAVE ALL KINDS OF ORDINANCES FOR FOUR WHEELERS, SCOOTERS, ALL THAT STUFF LIKE THAT. WE HAVE A LOT OF THAT STUFF JUST MOVING AROUND.

IT SHOULDN'T EVEN BE ON REGULAR ROAD. SO THAT'S MY ISSUE, YOU KNOW.

BUT I'M I'M GOING TO STAY ON THAT WITH THAT SERGEANT VANDERGRIFF, BECAUSE HE'S NOT TELLING US THE TRUTH.

IT'S THIS CANNOT BE TRUE. SO THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT.

OKAY. WELL, BEING THAT IT'S NOT AN AGENDA ITEM, WE CAN'T DISCUSS IT BACK AND FORTH.

BUT, MISS WILLIAMS, WE ARE NEIGHBORS, SO I WILL MAKE IT A POINT TO COME BY AND VISIT WITH YOU.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT. I TRULY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, SO WE'LL GET TO IT.

THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE IT. ANY MORE? YES, SIR.

NO. OKAY. CEREMONIAL PRESENTATIONS. ITEM NUMBER ONE, PRESENTATION OF THE ANGLETON FIRE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE SERVICE AWARDS.

AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? AND WE HAVE TWO ABSENT.

GOING ON TO REGULAR AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SIX UPDATE AND DISCUSSION ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN 2015.

[6. Update and discussion on the Comprehensive Plan and 2015 International Building Code Upgrade. ]

THIS ITEM. I'M SURE MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN EXPECTING TO HEAR FROM THE CPA COMMITTEE.

THE COMMITTEE, OF COURSE, THAT HAS UNDERTAKEN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY. IF YOU HAVE REVIEWED THE MATERIALS THAT ARE ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA.

I'VE BEEN TASKED TO JUST INTRODUCE THE ITEM. I HAVE THE LESS TIME ON THE TIME CLOCK.

SO I'LL BE REAL BRIEF. TONIGHT WHAT WE HOPE TO DO IS TO HAVE THE COUNCIL HEAR FROM THE COMMITTEE.

THERE ARE TWO MAJOR ITEMS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS, ONE OF WHICH WOULD BE THE BUILDING CODE UPGRADE, WHICH IS A PART OF THE GRANT IN WHICH YOU'RE AWARE THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE G L O TO UNDERTAKE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE TO THE ZONING AS WELL AS THE BUILDING CODES WITHIN THE CITY, OUR BUILDING CODES IF YOU WOULD LOOK AT THE ATTACHMENTS ARE AT THE LEVEL OF TWO, 2015 2015 FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE.

AND THEN WE HAVE OTHER ASSOCIATION ASSOCIATED CODES DEALING WITH THE ENERGY CODES, FIRE CODES, AND WHAT HAVE YOU. WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT TODAY.

[00:15:03]

AND YOU'LL SEE THAT A LITTLE LATER, WE WOULD LIKE TO BE SOMEWHERE MID RANGE IN TERMS OF UPDATING THAT WILL ALLOW US TO BE MORE RESILIENT AS PART OF THE GRANT.

THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF IT. AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE OTHER REASONS WHY WE WILL DISCUSS THE PROS AND CONS OF UPGRADING THE CODES, WHICH WE HAVEN'T DONE FOR QUITE SOME TIME. BEHIND ME AND A PART OF THE PANEL DISCUSSION QUICKLY WILL BE THE CHAIRPERSON AS WELL AS THE CONSULTANTS. AND ALSO WE HAVE ANOTHER MEMBER OF THE TEAM IN WHICH WE'LL INTRODUCE ALSO I WANTED TO TELL YOU ALL AND INFORM THE PUBLIC THAT THE WEBSITE IS STILL UP AND LIVE.

WE HAVE UPDATED OVER 15 SESSIONS THAT HAVE HAVE BEEN OCCURRING BEHIND THE SCENES FROM EVERY STAKEHOLDER GROUP THAT YOU COULD THINK OF.

SO WE'RE ASKING EVERYONE TO PERUSE THE WEBSITE AND LOOK AT THAT INFORMATION.

YOU CAN ALSO STILL PARTICIPATE. THERE IS A MAP EXERCISE WHERE YOU CAN PINPOINT WHERE IN THE CITY YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE IMPROVEMENTS OR HAVE CONCERNS OR WHAT HAVE YOU THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE A PART OF THE VISIONING PLAN, WHICH IS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE NEXT 20 TO 25 YEARS.

SO I AM GOING TO YIELD. I JUST WANTED TO INTRODUCE THE ITEMS. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE WOULD BE THE SECOND ITEM, WHICH WE WILL GIVE YOU SOME OF THE FINDINGS, WHICH MAY BE SHOCKING TO SOME OF US, BUT IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE KIND OF FOLLOW THAT WHOLE VISIONING IN WHICH THE COMMUNITY HAS TOLD YOU A LOT IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE, AND YOU HAVE ALSO GIVEN YOUR INPUT IN TERMS OF THAT VISIONING.

SO I'M GOING TO STEP ASIDE. AND WE'LL HAVE LAWTON CHRISTNER FROM GUNDA ADORA WHO IS THE CONSULTANT AND THEN TARA, WHO IS OUR CHAIRPERSON. TARA SARTIN CHAIRPERSON OF THE CPA COMMITTEE AND MRS. JACKSON, A PART OF THE COMMITTEE, THEY'LL COME RIGHT AFTER TO PRESENT THEIR INFORMATION AS WELL.

SO IF YOU WOULD RECEIVE THEM AND AS I STATED, IF YOU COULD HOLD YOUR QUESTIONS TO THE END, AND THEN WE'LL TRY TO GET THAT FEEDBACK THAT WE'RE LOOKING FROM YOU BY THE END OF THIS UPDATE, BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SO LET ME. JUST SAY GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL STAFF, MEMBERS OF THE AUDIENCE.

MY NAME IS LATHA KRISHNA RAO AND I'M THE CONSULTANT HELPING THE CITY.

I HAVE HERE KRISHNA WITH ME WHO'S ALSO PART OF THE CONSULTANT TEAM.

AND AGAIN, IT'S AN HONOR AND A PLEASURE TO BE BACK HERE AND GIVE YOU AN UPDATE.

BEFORE I DO THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO REALLY THANK THE CHAIR AND THE VICE CHAIR OF THE CPAC WHO ARE HERE, AND THE COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO WERE LITERALLY ON THE BUS WITH US, AND ALSO THE PNC AND OTHER CPAC.

AND SO REALLY, WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS US WORKING AS FACILITATORS AND PUTTING ALL THAT INFORMATION TOGETHER.

AND OF COURSE, THANKS TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THEIR FIRST MEETING THAT SET THE FOUNDATION.

SO. ONCE I LEARNED HOW TO DO THIS, CAN YOU SEE? OKAY. NEXT, PLEASE. SO JUST A QUICK UPDATE. YOU HAVE THE PACKET WITH YOU.

SO I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON EACH SLIDE, BUT JUST KIND OF GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW.

OUR GOAL IS TO KEEP IT WITHIN 20 MINUTES SO THAT WE HAVE MORE TIME TO HEAR FROM YOU.

SO THE OUTLINE JUST, WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT OF THE SCOPE AND THE TWO TASKS THAT WERE FUNDED THROUGH THE RCP PROJECT.

NEXT, PLEASE. SO IN TERMS OF WHAT OTIS MENTIONED, HOW THE, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS FUNDED WAS THE GLO HAD PROVIDED THIS FUNDING FOR UPDATING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, UPDATING THE BUILDING CODES AND FOLLOWING UP WITH THE ZONING AND LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATES. SO YOU KIND OF SEE THE MILESTONES THAT WE HAVE TO WORK UNDER THEIR GUIDANCE.

SO WE ARE TRYING TO SCHEDULE ALL OUR WORK PLAN BASED ON THEIR MILESTONES.

SO NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE BUILDING CODES UPDATE FIRST.

NEXT. SO THE GOAL WAS TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT A BUILDING CODE.

THAT ADDS MORE RESILIENCY TO THE CITY. AND THE GLO BASELINE WAS I R C OR IBC 2012.

NEXT, PLEASE. SO THE WORK SCHEDULE, BASED ON THE MILESTONES WE, WE STARTED WITH SOME PRELIMINARY MEETINGS

[00:20:04]

AND THE PLAN IS TO FINALIZE AND GET THE CODE READY FOR ADOPTION BY OCTOBER 2026.

AS YOU CAN SEE, IN ADDITION TO ALL THE COMMUNITY INPUT THAT WE HAVE HAD ALREADY, WHERE WE HAVE HEARD A LOT ABOUT THE CODES, WE WILL HAVE SOME MORE FOCUSED OUTREACH TO THE COMMUNITY, SPECIFICALLY TALK ABOUT MORE STAKEHOLDERS THAT DEAL WITH THE CODES ON A REGULAR BASIS.

NEXT. SO THIS KIND OF SHOWS WHERE ANGLETON IS IN IN COMPARISON TO OTHER SURROUNDING CITIES.

THE CITY OF ANGLETON IS OPERATING UNDER THE 2015 CODES.

SO YOU HAVE CITIES FROM ALVIN THAT HAVE ACTUALLY ADOPTED THE 2024 ALL THE WAY TO OTHER CITIES WHO ARE UNDER 2018 CODES. MOST OF THEM ARE UNDER 2018 CODES.

AND WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE COUNTY ITSELF, AS YOU KNOW, THE COUNTY DOES NOT HAVE BUILDING CODES, BUT THEY DO HAVE SOME CODES WHICH DATE BACK TO THEY HAVE THE 2018 VERSION.

SO JUST TO SEE WHERE YOU STAND IN TERMS OF WHAT'S HAPPENING HAPPENING IN THE COUNTY AND THE STATE OF TEXAS IS OPERATING UNDER THE 2018 CODES.

AND WHY THAT IS IMPORTANT IS FOR WINDSTORM CERTIFICATION THAT IS REQUIRED IN ANGLETON.

SO EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE IN THE UNDER THE 2015 CODES FOR WINDSTORM CERTIFICATION, THEY WOULD HAVE TO MEET THE 2018 CODES.

SO YOU KNOW, THE BUILDING OFFICIAL IS HERE WITH ME AND HE'S GOING TO CHIME IN AND ADD HIS PERSPECTIVE TO IT.

BUT WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BENEFITS? I THINK ONE THING THAT THE CODES REALLY HELP IS ENHANCED INSURANCE AND ISO RATINGS.

AND THEN A LOT OF THESE GRANT FUNDINGS THAT ARE OUT THERE.

THERE IS A NEW ONE COMING OUT CALLED THE BRICK, WHICH SUPPORTS A LOT OF INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS.

THEY ALSO LOOK FOR CITIES THAT HAVE ADOPTED HIGHER CODES.

2018 IS GENERALLY THE BASELINE FOR SOME OF THOSE.

AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, OF COURSE, MAKING SURE THAT NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT HAPPENS FOLLOWS HIGHER STANDARDS, HIGHER SAFETY STANDARDS, AND IS MORE RESILIENT TO FLOODING.

TO HAS IMPROVED BUILDING MATERIALS AND ALSO ALIGNING YOURSELF WITH NEIGHBORING CITIES.

THE SAME CONTRACTORS DO WORK ALL IN THE REGION, AND IT'S SOMETIMES IT'S EASIER FOR THEM IF THEY HAVE THE BASE CODES.

ONE THING THAT ALSO THIS CODE DOES IS WHAT WE KNOW IS IT HAS ACTUALLY HELPED TO ADDRESS OLDER BUILDINGS AND REHAB.

IT GIVES YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE LEEWAY TO ADDRESS OR TO WAIVE CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS BECAUSE IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR OLDER STRUCTURES IN DOWNTOWN, ESPECIALLY TO MEET THE NEWER BUILDING REQUIREMENTS.

AND THAT WOULD BE ONE OF THE BENEFITS THAT THIS CODE OFFERS.

NEXT, PLEASE. SO BASED ON ALL THE OUTREACH THAT WE HAVE HAD WITH THE COMMUNITY QUESTIONNAIRES, THE FOCUS GROUP MEETINGS, INTERVIEWS, AND SOME OF THE PAST EXPERIENCE IN ANGLETON THE COMMUNITY IS HAS SOME OF THESE INPUT, WHICH IS THE UPDATED FIRE CODES THAT COME WITH THE 2018 CODES WILL DEFINITELY IMPROVE FIRE SAFETY PROPERTY MAINTENANCE WOULD ALSO BE AFFECTED EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE STANDARDS. AND AS I MENTIONED, FLEXIBILITY IN TERMS OF REHABBING OLDER BUILDINGS AND JUST A LOT MORE ON ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND THE PROCESSES ARE A LITTLE BIT MORE CLEARER.

SO I'M GOING TO SEE IF THE THE BUILDING OFFICIAL WOULD LIKE TO SAY A FEW WORDS AND YOU'RE ITCHING TO SAY GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNCIL. SHE PRETTY MUCH HIT THE POINTS.

GOING UP ON OUR BUILDING CODES DEFINITELY WILL HELP OUR ISO RATING NUMBER ONE FOR SURE.

THEY MENTIONED THAT EVERY TIME BECAUSE WE'RE KIND OF BEHIND WE'RE IN A WINDSTORM AREA.

OF COURSE. IT WILL GO INTO 18 AND UP. WILL CHANGE THE WINDSTORM A LITTLE BIT.

A LITTLE BIT TIGHTER, A LITTLE BIT MORE TO IT.

NOT A LOT. AS FAR AS EXPENSE, IT WON'T BE A BIG EXPENSE.

YOU KNOW, SAY YOU'RE BUILDING A HOUSE OR WHAT HAVE YOU.

JUST A, A MINOR EXPENSE, BUT IT WILL CHANGE IT A LITTLE.

SHE MENTIONED THE DOWNTOWN. SOME OF THE OLDER BUILDINGS ACTUALLY GIVES YOU BUILDINGS THAT JUST WILL NEVER REALLY MEET THE CODE.

AND IT GIVES YOU MORE FLEXIBILITY IF THEY'RE WANTING TO DO THINGS AND BUILDING WISE IN THE NEWER CODES

[00:25:05]

SO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH EVERYBODY. EVERYTHING I SEE IS.

21 SO. I DON'T KNOW YOU KNOW, I THINK FOR SURE WE NEED TO GO TO 18 BUT POSSIBLY 21. AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ISO STANDARD, JUST THE BUILDING CODE, BUILDING CODE, INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE THAT WOULD JUST HELP OUR ISO RATING THAT'S MENTIONED EVERY YEAR.

OKAY. THAT KIND OF IS A DEDUCTION. OKAY. WHEN WE WENT FROM 12 TO 15, IT DIDN'T REALLY IT DON'T CHANGE REALLY.

I MEAN, IT ALL COMES BACK TO THE SAME. SO IT WILL BE JUST A LITTLE CHANGE IN THE 18 AS FAR AS WINDSTORM ENERGY WILL CHANGE SOME. YOU KNOW, YOU'LL GET A LITTLE TIGHTER ENERGY.

HOW ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ADDITIONAL ANCHORS, CLIPS, THINGS LIKE THAT? BLOWER DOOR TESTINGS, STUFF LIKE THAT. IT'S GOT TO BE.

YEAH. IN THE ENERGY, DEPENDING ON WHAT WE. I MEAN, IF WE GO TO 18, IT'S JUST MOST ALL THESE SUBDIVISIONS DO THE ENERGY STAR TESTING ON THE HOMES BECAUSE THEY'RE THE 21 ALREADY WHEN THEY SUBMIT ALL THEIR PERMITTING. SO THEY HAVE TO MEET THE 21 ENERGY BUT A LITTLE MORE CLIPS DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU'RE DOING, MAYBE A PATIO OR SOMETHING, THEY MIGHT REQUIRE, YOU KNOW, ADDITIONAL ENGINEERED PRODUCT ENGINEERING ON YOUR POST AND STUFF IN THE GROUND, BUT NOT NOTHING CRAZY.

SO WHAT ABOUT RESIDENTIAL FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS? JUST IN A RESIDENTIAL HOME. ARE WE TALKING? NO.

OKAY. YOU CAN DO LOCAL AMENDMENTS TO IT. YES.

WHICH WE NORMALLY DO ON INTERNATIONAL. RIGHT.

I KNOW SOME OF OUR NEIGHBORS TO THE SOUTH HAVE HAD SOME ISSUES IN THE PAST, AND I'D HATE TO SEE US ADOPT THE PLANS THAT BRING THIS ALL BACK UP.

NO. WE'RE GOOD. GO TO 18. WE'RE JUST GOING TO REQUIRE A LITTLE MORE IN THE WINDSTORM AREA.

ENERGY FIRE, WHICH WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, JUST SAFER.

IS THERE A SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON THAT PEOPLE CAN.

I CAN GET IT. I'LL GET ONE. WE'RE JUST BEGINNING THE STUDY.

OKAY. WE DID ONE, I DON'T KNOW WHEN WE WENT FROM 12 TO 15, I CAN GET WITH SEDNA AND THEY KIND OF DID ONE FOR US.

AND WE DID A LIKE A TOWN HALL. THAT'S RIGHT. AND HE EXPLAINED IT REALLY DOWN TO THE WE CAN DO THAT.

THEY DON'T MIND. DOES IT AFFECT US IN ANY WAY FROM A CITY STANDPOINT, FACILITIES, ANYTHING THAT WE'RE DOING, ANY RENOVATIONS, ANY NEW BUILDINGS THAT WE HAVE PLANNED, WHAT'S THAT GOING TO BE LIKE? I MEAN, ONCE IT'S ADOPTED, NOT IF WE'RE ALREADY IN THE.

SO IF WE HAD TO RETROFIT THIS BUILDING TODAY, TODAY, OR IN SIX MONTHS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, I MEAN, IF WE'RE IF WE STARTED AFTER THE 18, JUST DEPENDING ON WHAT WE'RE DOING, YOU'RE RECOMMENDING.

21 THOUGH STANDARDS, RIGHT? YEAH, I WOULD SAY.

18 IF I HAD TO PICK ONE, I'D GO. 18 I MEAN, WE, WE DEFINITELY GOT TO MOVE.

BUT WOULD WE BE IF WE WENT TO 18? WOULDN'T WE BE DOING THIS AGAIN IN THE NEXT 2 TO 3 YEARS? UNLESS WE DID 21, WHICH WOULD MAYBE SATISFY US FOR A FEW YEARS? THAT'S THE ONLY THING I WAS LOOKING AT. ARE WE GOING TO BE? I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE. WE'RE GOING TO BE COMING BACK IN A COUPLE OF YEARS OR SO. SO IT'S NOT GOING TO IF WE'RE RENOVATING THIS ROOM, IT'S NOT GOING TO AFFECT US.

I THINK ABOUT LIKE THE ANNEX, THE, YOU KNOW, IF WE DO SOME OF THE ANIMAL CONTROL FACILITY, IF WE WERE TO KEEP THAT AND TRY TO RENOVATE IT, WHAT WOULD THAT ENTAIL? YOU KNOW, THINGS LIKE THAT JUST IT COULD COST US A LITTLE BIT MORE IN ENGINEERING, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S I MEAN, I THINK THAT LITTLE BIT OF COST WOULD BE WORTH IT IN THE LONG RUN FOR SURE.

FIRE CODE IS 21. YEAH. Y'ALL

[00:30:04]

CODE. ARE YOU INTERFACE WITH WILDLIFE. SO SOME SILLY CODES LIKE THAT. YOU KNOW. I'M NOT SURE I WILL FIND OUT.

LIKE IF WE. YOU KNOW, OF COURSE ALL THE CODES WERE ADOPTED IN PROPERTY MAINTENANCE.

IT WILL AFFECT LIKE CODE A LITTLE BIT TOO FOR CODE ENFORCEMENT, WHICH I THINK WOULD ONLY HELP US.

OKAY. OKAY. OKAY. AND JUST TO ADD TO WHAT KYLE SAID, THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

THIS IS ONE OF OUR FIRST MEETINGS REGARDING THE CODES.

WE DO HAVE CODE CONSULTANTS. AND ONCE WE GET YOUR GUIDANCE, WE WILL DO A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS AND REACH OUT TO THE STAKEHOLDERS, AND WE HOPE TO LEARN FROM THEM TOO. AS TO WHAT ARE SOME OF THE LOCAL AMENDMENTS THAT MIGHT BE NEEDED, LIKE YOU MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, CITY BUILDINGS.

AND SO THROUGH THE PROCESS, WE'LL BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THOSE AMENDMENTS AND COME BACK TO YOU ON THAT.

SO, OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR. SO WOULD YOU. JUST AS A GUIDANCE IS 2018 OKAY, OR DO YOU WANT TO ALSO LOOK AT 2021 LIKE COMPARISON? I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO LOOK AT A SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON OF BOTH OF THEM BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE NEED, WE NEED TO SEE WHAT, WHAT, YOU KNOW, THE, WHAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE, THE 21 BUILDING CODES GOING TO LOOK LIKE IN THE, IN THE. 18 AND WE CAN MAKE THAT DECISION THEN, BECAUSE IF WE'VE FOR ALL THE REASONS THAT WE STATED, OKAY, WE CAN BRING THAT BACK TO YOU AND THEN SEE WHAT YOU ALL THINK.

YEAH. IF YOU COULD DO OUR CURRENT YEAR THAT WE HAVE AND THEN THE OTHER TWO SO THAT WE'LL HAVE A GOOD BASELINE TO COMPARE JUST LIKE AN OUTLINE.

OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE INTO THE NEXT PART OF OUR PROJECT, WHICH IS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT INCLUDES THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND YOUR LDC UPDATE LIKE THE GLOW HAD ADDED TO THEIR MILESTONES.

SO NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. JUST A WORK SCHEDULE. WE'VE KIND OF COMPLETED OUR MOBILIZATION AND LOOKED AT THE CURRENT CITY, HAD A FEW MEETINGS, AND NOW WE ARE AT A STAGE WHERE AFTER THIS WORK SESSION, WE'LL GO BACK AND PUT THE DRAFT PLAN TOGETHER AND THEN CONTINUE TO WORK WITH CPAC.

SO ALL THROUGH THE PROCESS, WE HAVE HAD ALL THE INFORMATION POSTED ON THE WEBSITE, NEWSLETTERS, MEDIA, ONLINE FORUMS, THERE'S AN INTERACTIVE MAP.

WE HAVE HAD SOME QUESTIONNAIRES, AND I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT.

NEXT SLIDE. SO THE FIRST THING THAT WE DID WAS, OF COURSE, TO COME TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

IF YOU REMEMBER, WE DID THOSE MANY METER EXERCISES WITH YOU.

AND THEN AT THE FIRST MEETING WITH THE CPC, WE MADE SURE THAT WE SHARED YOUR INPUT SO THAT THEY KIND OF HAD A GOOD FOUNDATION.

SO NOW JUST LOOKING AT LIKE STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, WHAT CAME TO THE FOREFRONT WAS THE SMALL TOWN FEEL AND THE SENSE OF COMMUNITY.

NEXT, PLEASE. IN TERMS OF THINGS THAT WERE LACKING AN INDUSTRIAL TAX BASE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WAS BIG ON THE LIST, FOLLOWED CLOSELY BY BEAUTIFICATION. HOUSING DIVERSITY AND LARGE RESIDENTIAL LOTS.

NEXT. AND THEN LOOKING AT THE FUTURE, THE CITY COUNCIL WANTED TO FOCUS ON HOW TO GROW LOCAL SALES TAX AND INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS, AS WELL AS MORE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES.

THE QUESTION WAS, WHAT CONCERNS YOU AS YOU LOOK INTO THE FUTURE? I THINK THE BIG THINGS THAT CAME OUT OF THAT WAS FISCAL PLANNING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

AND THEN THE ETJ MANAGEMENT, AS WELL AS STREET CONNECTIVITY AND JUST HOW THE DENSITY OF HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS ACTUALLY.

AND THEN IN TERMS OF VISION, ONE OF THE BIG THINGS WAS MAKING SURE THAT THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WAS A PRIORITY FOCUSING ON COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL GROWTH AND ALSO COMPLETION OF THE BOND PROJECTS.

HENDERSON ROAD AND OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS, IN ADDITION TO KEEPING THAT SMALL TOWN FEEL AND MAKING SURE THAT INFRASTRUCTURE LED THE GROWTH AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS. SO JUST TO KIND OF SUMMARIZE WHAT SOME OF THE PRIORITIES THAT CAME OUT OF YOUR INPUT WAS, NUMBER ONE, TO STRENGTHEN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND INDUSTRIAL GROWTH.

SECOND WAS INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING. THESE ARE NOT REALLY IN ANY ORDER, BUT JUST THE THEMES THAT EMERGE, WHICH KIND OF SET THE FOUNDATION FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

[00:35:03]

SO THEN I'M GOING TO HAVE TARA TALK ABOUT THE SLIDE.

VERY, VERY INTERESTING SLIDE HERE. YEAH. SORRY.

HI, I AM TARA MUNSON SARTIN. AND FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE WATCHING, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT IF YOU HAVE ANY INTEREST IN HELPING OUT THE CITY, GO ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE AND LOOK AT ALL OF THE OPEN POSITIONS ON THE DIFFERENT COMMITTEES.

THAT'S HOW I JOINED THIS COMMITTEE. I WAS WATCHING THE CITY WEBSITE AND FOR SOMETHING THAT INTERESTED ME, AND THIS WAS ABOUT OUR CITY'S FUTURE? I HAVE FOUR KIDS.

MY FAMILY HAS BEEN A PART OF THIS CITY SINCE ITS INDUCTION, AND THIS WAS WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.

SO ONCE I GOT ON THE COMMITTEE, I WAS ELECTED CHAIRPERSON AND I'VE BEEN INVOLVED ALL ALONG THE WAY.

AND THIS HAS BEEN A VERY INTERESTING PROCESS.

SO WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ON THIS SLIDE IS THE ALIGNMENT OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CPC PRIORITIES.

SO WHAT WE FOUND OUT IS, OF COURSE WE HAVE A LOT OF SIMILARITIES IN, IN WHAT WE NEED FOR THIS CITY AND STREET IMPROVEMENTS, BALANCED COMMERCIAL ECONOMIC, INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT.

WE HAVE CITYWIDE REVITALIZATION AND BEAUTIFICATION.

THERE ARE MANY PARTS OF OUR CITY THAT YOU DRIVE AROUND AND IT DOES NOT LOOK VERY GOOD.

SO WE JUST WE WANT TO SPRUCE EVERYTHING UP. SOMETHING THAT AS YOU CAN SEE ON HERE, THE PURPLE IS THE THE CPSC AND THE GRAY CITY COUNCIL SOME OF THEM THAT WEREN'T, THAT DIDN'T EXACTLY ALIGN ARE STILL THE SAME.

LIKE. WE ALL TALKED ABOUT THE NEED FOR IMPROVEMENT ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

SO WE HAVE A LOT OF THE SIMILAR GOALS FROM COUNCIL TO THE CPC COMMITTEE.

TO THE COMMUNITY AS WELL. AND ANOTHER THING, COMMUNITY, PLEASE GET ON THE CITY WEBSITE AND PUT IN YOUR.

DO THE SURVEY. TAKE THIS SURVEY. TELL US WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE.

BECAUSE THE MORE INPUT WE HAVE FROM YOU, THE BETTER THIS PLAN IS GOING TO BE.

AND ALL THAT CAN DO IS HELP OUR CITY. THANK YOU.

REAL QUICK, BEFORE YOU START BACK. CHIEF, CAN YOU PLEASE ASK MARTHA TO PUT ANOTHER BLAST OUT? THERE SHE IS. ANOTHER BLAST OUT ON GHOST. TAKE THE SURVEY.

GO TAKE THE SURVEY. LET'S REALLY PUSH THAT. YES.

THANK YOU. I DIDN'T SEE MARK TO DO THAT. WELL, AND I WANT TO SAY TOO, THAT, YOU KNOW, PLAN RESPONSIBILITY FOR GROWTH IN THE CITY AND ETJ THAT END PART IS PROBLEMATIC.

IT'S OUR AUTHORITY WITHIN THE ETJ HAS HAS KIND OF BEEN PULLED FROM US AND, AND YOU CAN THANK THE STATE FOR THAT ONE.

SO HELP. I DON'T NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE ANSWER TO THAT IS.

TALK, TALK TO YOUR REPS. HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET SOME TRACTION THERE IN, IN POWER BEING TRANSITIONED BACK TO THE LOCAL MUNICIPALITY. I'M KIND OF AT A LOSS. I KNOW THERE'S A CERTAIN FAX REPORTER IN THE BACK AND SHE CAN GO AHEAD AND QUOTE ME ON THIS AND SAY THAT I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE THAT OUR STATE GOVERNMENT'S GOING TO DO ANYTHING TO FIX THAT AT THIS POINT.

LEGISLATIVE SESSION PREDICTIONS. I'M HEARING GOVERNMENTAL SEMINARS THAT ARE SAYING WITHIN TWO SESSIONS THEY WILL ELIMINATE THE WHAT? THE STATE WILL ELIMINATE ETJ.

THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE PREDICTING. AT THE POINT YOU'LL HAVE YOUR MUNICIPAL CONTROL AND COUNTY CONTROL.

WHICH MAKES OUR COUNTY GOVERNMENT SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT.

I WOULD AGREE. AND YEAH, WE WILL HAVE A WHOLE DISCUSSION ON THAT IN THE REPORT TOO, BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO WHICH WILL BE MORE THROUGH DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS AND KIND OF GIVE AND TAKE.

SO THE CITY, HOW IS THE CITY POISED TO PROVIDE CARROTS TO THE DEVELOPERS SO THAT THEY CAN BUILD WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE? SO WE WILL ALL HAVE TO PIVOT A LITTLE BIT. YEAH, THAT'S A BIG DISCUSSION THAT'S HAPPENING ALL OVER TEXAS.

SO SO ANYWAY, SO GOING BACK TO JUST LOOKING AT THE EXISTING CONDITIONS, OF COURSE, IF YOU LOOK AT THE LAND USES THIS IS TELLING, RIGHT? LOOK AT ALL THE LAND THAT IS VACANT IN THE ETJ.

AND SOMEHOW THAT IS THE ONE THAT'S GOING TO BE AN ISSUE IN THE NEXT 20 YEARS, HOW THAT LAND GROWS.

BUT AS YOU KNOW, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USE IS ONE OF YOUR BIGGER USES.

[00:40:03]

AND THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP THAT COMES OUT OF THIS EXERCISE, WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY COLOR THOSE GREEN AREAS INTO SOMETHING THAT THE CITY DESIRES TO SEE IN THE FUTURE. EVEN IN THE ETJ, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WILL COVER THAT, AND HOPEFULLY THAT WILL HELP IN THE FUTURE THROUGH NEGOTIATIONS AND AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS. AND WE WILL DISCUSS THAT A LITTLE BIT AGAIN.

LOOKING AT LOT SIZES, AS YOU KNOW IT'S, YOU KNOW, YOU DO HAVE THE COUNTY HAS THE ETJ HAS LARGER LOTS, BUT PREDOMINANTLY WITHIN THE CITY, YOU HAVE MOST OF THE LOTS ARE 10,000 SQUARE FOOT OR LOWER, A LOT OF 6500 SQUARE FOOT LOTS. AGAIN, NO SURPRISE HERE.

NEXT, PLEASE. SO LOOKING AT EXISTING HOUSING CONDITIONS, WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? BECAUSE AS THE CITY AGES, THE HOUSING STOCK AGES AND AT SOME POINT THERE HAS TO BE FOCUS ON NOT, NOT JUST NEW DEVELOPMENT, BUT HOW TO MAINTAIN EXISTING HOUSING STOCKS.

AND 54% OF THE HOUSING UNITS IN THE CITY WERE BUILT PRIOR TO 1980.

SO THEY ARE AGING. SO THAT ALSO SETS SOME OF THE PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD GUIDE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS, MORE OWNER OCCUPIED UNITS THAN RENTAL.

AND WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS ALMOST HALF THE HOMES OWNED HERE HAVE NO MORTGAGE.

SO THAT KIND OF INDICATES SOME STABILITY THAT THE COMMUNITY HAS.

AND ONE IMPORTANT THING THAT CAME OUT IS 18% OF THE HOUSEHOLDS FACE A HOUSING COST BURDEN, WHICH MEANS THAT THEY'RE PAYING MORE THAN 30% OF THEIR INCOME TOWARDS HOUSING.

SO WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT AFFORDABILITY, THAT'S SOMETHING TO KEEP AN EYE ON.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. IN TERMS OF MOBILITY, THE MOBILITY PLAN FOR THE CITY OF ANGLETON GOES BACK TO THE 2005 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

HOWEVER, BRAZORIA COUNTY HAS AN UPDATED MAJOR THOROUGHFARE PLAN THAT WAS DONE IN 2020.

SO OBVIOUSLY WHAT THE COUNTY DOES AFFECTS WHAT HAPPENS IN THE CITY.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE WE TRIED TO KIND OF PUT THE TWO MAPS ON THE SAME SCALE.

SO WE WILL BE LOOKING AT WHAT THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE PLAN R AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS ON THE CITY'S THOROUGHFARE, AND HOW THE CITY STORE AFFAIR PLAN MAY NEED TO BE TWEAKED TO MATCH SOME OR ADDRESS WHAT THE COUNTY IS DOING.

GRAND PARKWAY EXPANSION IS GOING TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON ANGLETON.

IT'S ABOUT 15 MILES NORTH OF ANGLETON. AND SO AGAIN, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WILL DISCUSS A LITTLE BIT ON THAT.

IT'S STILL KIND OF FURTHER AWAY. THE CONSTRUCTION IS SCHEDULED TO START IN 2026 FOR SEGMENT B AND OF COURSE, THE TEXT IMPROVEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN PLANNED OR WILL BEGIN SOON.

AGAIN, SOME OF THIS IS NEXT 5 TO 10 YEARS, WHICH KIND OF FALLS IN THE SAME RANGE THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS LOOKING AT.

SO THE THREE MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS THERE AND HOW THAT'S GOING TO AFFECT THE CITY.

LOOKING AT MOBILITY AGAIN, LOOKING AT SAFETY, WHERE ARE THESE CRASHES AND WHAT KIND OF IMPROVEMENTS NEED TO BE PRIORITIZED AND NOT JUST LOOKING AT VEHICULAR TRAFFIC, BUT ALSO LOOKING AT MULTIMODAL.

THAT CAME UP A LOT IN OUR DISCUSSIONS AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.

LOOKING AT WHAT ARE THE BIKE, PEDESTRIAN AND BIKE DESTINATIONS AND WHAT YOU SEE IS A MAP THERE.

IF YOU ZOOM IN, IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE CLEARER, BUT IT KIND OF SHOWS WHERE SIDEWALKS ARE LACKING.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE DESTINATIONS LIKE SCHOOLS AND THEN START LOOKING AT WHERE ARE THE SIDEWALKS WITHIN THE 15 MINUTE MILE RADIUS, THAT WILL START HOPEFULLY GIVING US A PATTERN AND SOME GUIDANCE ON WHAT SIDEWALKS WOULD NEED TO BE PRIORITIZED.

SO WE'LL START LOOKING AT THAT TOO. AND THEN OF COURSE, THE INFRASTRUCTURE WHICH INCLUDES WATER, WASTEWATER, STORMWATER AND FLOODING. ONE IMPORTANT THING TO NOTE IS JUST LIKE THE AGING STOCK INFRASTRUCTURE, THERE IS SOME THAT DATES BACK TO 1950. SO WE WILL MAP THE AGE OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND THEN TALKING TO YOUR STAFF, START LOOKING AT WHAT ARE SOME OF THE IMMEDIATE INTERVENTIONS THAT WOULD BE NEEDED.

NEXT PLEASE. AND THEN OF COURSE, RESILIENCY AND SUSTAINABILITY.

THAT IS A BIG PART OF THIS REPORT. WHAT ARE THE RISKS? NOT JUST FLOODING. THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT WILDFIRE DROUGHTS.

WHERE IS THE WATER GOING TO COME FROM AS THE CITY GOES? AND IF YOU LOOK AT THAT SLIDE, WHICH IS VERY TELLING ABOUT THE POST-BATTLE ASSESSMENT.

[00:45:03]

AND THAT IT RESULTS IN THERE WERE ABOUT 1800 CUSTOMERS OUT OF POWER.

SO HOW DO WE START PLANNING FOR SOME OF THESE HAZARDS, SO TO SPEAK? DEMOGRAPHICS IS IMPORTANT. THE MEDIAN AGE IS SIMILAR TO THE COUNTY.

I THINK WHAT IS IMPORTANT HERE IS ALSO THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD SIZE IS DECLINING IN ANGLETON.

SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN IN TERMS OF HOUSING IN TERMS OF FACILITIES? WHO ARE WE PROVIDING FACILITIES FOR IN THE NEXT TEN, TEN, 20 YEARS? THE 65 AND OLDER POPULATION IS INCREASING AS COMPARED TO THE COUNTY.

SO MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING WE MAY NEED TO FOCUS ON A LITTLE BIT MORE.

AND MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS ALSO LESSER THAN THE COUNTY RIGHT NOW.

SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? LOOKING AT THE GROWTH CONDITIONS, WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS THAT THE HOUSEHOLD GROWTH IS AT A HIGHER RATE THAN POPULATION GROWTH. AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS MORE NEWER FAMILIES ARE MOVING INTO ANGLETON.

AGAIN, THAT SHOULDN'T BE A SURPRISE TO ANY OF YOU HERE.

JOBS AND ECONOMY IS ANOTHER IMPORTANT FACTOR.

AS YOU ALL KNOW, THAT AND WHAT WE HEARD FROM THE ALL THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IS ECONOMIC HEALTH IS GOING TO BE REALLY IMPORTANT.

HOW DO WE BRING IN JOBS FOR OUR FOR THE COMMUNITY? AND HOW WILL THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HELP WITH THAT? WILL WE HAVE DESIGNATED ENOUGH LAND THAT WILL HAVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDUSTRIAL GROWTH IN THE FUTURE, OR ARE WE JUST DESIGNATING LAND FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE THE BEST WAY THE CITY NEEDS TO GO? SO WE WILL ALSO LOOK AT SOME FISCAL IMPACT ANALYSIS OF DESIGNATING LAND USES AND ZONING.

AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN IN DOLLARS AND CENTS? I THINK THE NEXT ONE AGAIN THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SLIDE BECAUSE THE THE, THE OCCUPANCY FOR HOTELS, MOTELS IS RECOVERING, WHICH MEANS THAT THE TOURISM POTENTIAL AND BRINGING VISITORS INTO THE CITY AND ADDING TO THE TAX DOLLARS WILL BE IMPORTANT. SO NEXT. SO AS PART OF THIS EXERCISE, LIKE I SAID, WE WILL ALSO LOOK AT YOUR DEVELOPMENT CODE. SO THERE ARE THREE CODES THAT REALLY PERTAIN TO ALL THE DEVELOPMENT THAT HAPPENS IN ANGLETON, THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, THE ZONING ORDINANCE, AND CITY CODE.

AND WE HAVE GOTTEN A LOT OF FEEDBACK ALREADY.

SOME OF THE KEY ISSUES ARE JUST THAT CONSOLIDATION OF ALL THE KEY CODES IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE PEOPLE FIND IT DIFFICULT TO NAVIGATE THROUGH THREE SETS OF CODES, AND THERE MIGHT BE SOME INCONSISTENCIES THAT COULD BE CLEARED.

AND HOPEFULLY THAT WILL HELP IN CLEARING CLARIFYING THE PERMITTING PROCESSES AND SOME OF THE SUBDIVISION STANDARDS THAT COULD BE OUTDATED.

SO WITH THIS, I'M GOING TO HAVE TARA TAKE OVER.

THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SHE TRULY IS PASSIONATE ABOUT.

SO IN THE OLD COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, IT STATES OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT ANGLETON IS A BEDSIDE COMMUNITY.

WE'RE A BEDROOM COMMUNITY. WE DON'T HAVE JOBS.

GO FIND YOUR JOBS ELSEWHERE. THIS IS WHERE YOU SLEEP. BUT AS WE KNOW, THAT AFFECTS OUR TAX RATE.

92% OF ANGLETON EMPLOYED RESIDENTS COMMUTE OUT OF THE CITY, AND 85% OF THOSE WHO ARE EMPLOYED IN ANGLETON COMMUTE INTO THE CITY. SO PEOPLE DON'T WORK HERE IF THEY LIVE HERE.

LESS THAN 700 ANGLETON RESIDENTS ARE ACTUALLY EMPLOYED WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S A PRETTY BIG AMOUNT. ANGLETON ISD IS EXPECTING A BIG, A BIG INCREASE.

YOU KNOW, IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME SORT OF THING.

WE HAVE OUR NEW SCHOOLS, WE HAVE ALL THESE NEW HOUSES.

THE PROJECTED ENROLLMENT IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS IS ABOUT 2500, ACCORDING TO ISD.

SO WE'RE BUILDING THESE HOUSES. WE NEED TO GET THE BUSINESSES.

WE NEED PEOPLE TO ALSO WORK HERE. THOSE ARE THOSE ARE DEFINITE THINGS THAT YOU GUYS ONLINE GO TO.

THAT THAT SURVEY AND PUT YOUR INPUT ABOUT BECAUSE THESE, THESE ARE IMPORTANT NUMBERS.

WE HAVE BEEN OUT AND ABOUT WITH WITH THE COMMUNITY.

WE HAVE THE, THE ENGAGEMENT SUMMARY UP THERE.

WE HAVE HAD THREE MAJOR C-PAC MEETINGS SO FAR.

ONE WAS ACTUALLY A BUS TOUR WHERE WE DROVE ALL AROUND THE CITY AND LOOKED AT, LOOKED AT PLACES THAT COULD HAVE INDUSTRY,

[00:50:05]

SO AGAIN, HIT THAT SURVEY UP AND, AND HELP US OUT ON THIS.

THE MORE YOU GUYS HELP, THE BETTER THE BETTER IT'S GOING TO BE.

WE HAVE HAD QUITE A FEW FOCUS GROUPS SO FAR AS WELL.

WE'VE MAN AND THAT'S, THAT'S BEEN VERY INTERESTING TO, TO GIVE THE EXACT SAME SURVEY TO THESE DIFFERENT COMMUNITY GROUPS AND HEAR WHAT EACH ONE HAS TO SAY ABOUT IT. EVERYBODY FOCUSES ON SOMETHING DIFFERENT, WHICH OF COURSE GOES TOGETHER TO MAKE A BETTER PLAN.

BUT WE'VE MET, OF COURSE, WITH CITY COUNCIL, CITY LEADERSHIP, HOA'S DEVELOPERS, TECHS DOT, THE GULF COAST TRANSIT DISTRICT, NONPROFIT AND FAITH BASED ORGANIZATIONS, STUDENT GROUPS, AND SENIORS. AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM HAS HAS BROUGHT UP VERY UNIQUE ISSUES THAT, AGAIN, JUST A COMMITTEE ON ITS ON ITS OWN WOULDN'T, WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND.

SO THE, THE FLOODING AND DRAINAGE HAS BEEN A BIG ISSUE FOR, FOR EVERYBODY.

PEOPLE WANT MORE RETAIL AND SHOPPING OPTIONS BUT YOU KNOW, FOR E-COMMERCE, THOSE OF YOU OUT THERE THAT HAVE AN IDEA.

LET'S, YOU KNOW, GO GET YOUR LOANS, START A BUSINESS.

IF YOU HAVE IDEAS ON HOW TO HELP OUR SMALL BUSINESSES.

THAT'S THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT WE NEED BECAUSE WE WANT THIS PLACE TO, TO WORK.

WE WANT, WE WANT ANGLETON TO BE TO BE SOLID. THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SUMMARY SO FAR WE'VE GOT WE'VE HAD QUITE A FEW PEOPLE PUTTING IN THEIR INPUT.

AGAIN, YOUR VOICE MATTERS. HELP US. WE LOOK AT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE, THESE SURVEYS.

AND WE TAKE WE WE TAKE WHAT THEY SAY. SO IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.

THANKS. GO AHEAD. YES. HELLO. HELLO. I AM DENISE JACKSON.

I AM A MEMBER OF THE CPA TEAM. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY WANTED I'M JUST GOING TO COVER A FEW SLIDES THEY WANTED ME TO SHARE.

AND THIS IS A REPEAT SLIDE. I HAD MENTIONED BEFORE AND THEN TARA MENTIONED AS WELL, WE'VE HAD THREE MEETINGS SO FAR AS A CPA AND OUR THIRD MEETING WAS ACTUALLY A BUS TOUR. SO ON THIS BUS TOUR, WE ACTUALLY WENT AROUND THE WHOLE CITY OF ANGLETON, RODE OUT TO SOME OF THE ETJ SPACES.

SO SOME OF THE EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION.

SO THOSE SPACES AND THAT WAS REALLY AN INTERESTING RIDE.

SO THIS IS WHAT CPSC MEMBERS, WHO ARE OTHER COMMUNITY LEADERS THAT HAVE BEEN ENGAGED IN LOTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS.

AND SO THE CONVERSATION ON THE BUS WAS MORE THAN, YOU KNOW, JUST US GOING OUT ON THE TOUR.

SO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT THAT WE SAW, YOU CAN GO BACK TO THE SLIDE.

SO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT ON THERE, I DO WANT TO KIND OF GO BACK TO YOU CAN GO BACK TO THE SLIDE.

I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THAT FOR THE SPACES THAT ARE VACANT AND DEVELOPABLE LAND, THAT'S WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS, THERE'S ABOUT 23% OF THAT. THAT'S WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS THAT WE CAN DEVELOP AS VACANT SPACES.

AND ABOUT 77 TO 78% IS THAT OF THOSE SPACES THAT WE SAW IN ETJ.

SO WE'RE THINKING IN THE CORRIDOR SPACES. THAT'S WHERE THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT WILL BE.

AND THEN RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WILL BE IN OTHER PLACES.

SO I DO WANT TO PUT A PIN IN THAT BUS TOUR. I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT WHEN WE GET TO THE LAST SLIDE AGAIN.

SO YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT ONE. ONE OF THE FUN THINGS THAT WE DID AMONGST MANY THINGS, BUT WAS TRYING TO DEVELOP, OF COURSE, THESE COMMUNITY CONCERNS. SO WE HAD OUR TOP TEN COMMUNITY CONCERNS.

YOU'LL SEE SOME THINGS ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SIDE.

AND THEN YOU HEARD QUITE A BIT FROM LATHA ON THE ZONING.

ALL OF THIS INFORMATION CAME FROM THE CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSIONS.

THE CPC WORK SESSION FINDINGS AS WELL AS THE COMPREHENSIVE SURVEY FOCUS GROUPS.

SO A COUPLE OF THINGS WE'VE HEARD IT THROUGHOUT SO FAR IS THE UNBALANCED AND UNCOORDINATED GROWTH AS IT RELATES TO, YOU KNOW, WHAT MAY OCCUR. SO I THINK GETTING AHEAD OF THIS WITH THE CPC PLAN AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU'LL SEE IN THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES AS IT RELATES TO HOW WE CAN PARTNER WITH SOME OF THESE SPACES AND ETJ TO HELP US BE ABLE TO CONTROL SOME OF THAT.

OBVIOUSLY, ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION AND JOB GROWTH THOSE, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

AND THEN ONE OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT ENTERTAINMENT OPTIONS FOR ALL THE COMMUNITIES.

SO SENIORS AND YOUTH AND EVERYBODY IN BETWEEN, THERE'S OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO DO SOME THINGS AS WE DEVELOP THIS PLAN.

AND THEN OF COURSE, ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION AND JOB GROWTH.

AND THEN OF COURSE, ON THE ZONING SIDE, A LOT HAS ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THAT INCOMPATIBLE, INCOMPATIBLE LAND USES NEAR NEIGHBORHOODS.

AND THEN OF COURSE, THE ETJ MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPING THE CODES AND STUFF FOR THAT, AS WELL AS DEVELOPING STANDARDS AND ENFORCEMENT.

SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS ON THE TOP TEN.

YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. SO THIS WAS REALLY, I THINK ALL OF US PARTICIPATED IN THAT.

IF YOU WERE IN ANY OF THE FOCUS GROUPS, WE HAD SOME LITTLE NEAT LITTLE TOOLS WHERE WE ALL KIND OF USED ELECTRONIC DEVICES AND, AND HAD KEY WORDS THAT THINGS THAT WE WANT TO SEE HAPPEN, WORDS THAT WE WANT TO DESCRIBE OUR CITY AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

[00:55:01]

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS? NATURAL BEAUTY, SOME OF THOSE WORDS THAT ARE POPPING UP UP THERE.

NATURAL BEAUTY WELCOMING QUALITY OF LIFE AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

AND SO ANGLETON THE HEART OF MISSOURI COUNTY WILL BE A RESILIENT AND WELCOMING COMMUNITY THAT HONORS ITS RICH HISTORY AND SMALL CHARACTER, SMALL TOWN CHARACTER WHILE SUPPORTING BALANCED GROWTH, VIBRANT NEIGHBORHOODS, NATURAL BEAUTY, AND A THRIVING CITY CENTER THAT ENHANCES QUALITY OF LIFE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.

NOW, OF COURSE, THIS IS VERY MUCH A DRAFT, BUT JUST PULLING ALL THOSE KEY WORDS THAT ARE COMING FROM THE DIFFERENT FOCUS GROUPS AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT DO WE WANT TO BE TRUE AS IT RELATES TO THE VISION FOR THE CITY OF ANGLETON? SO IN THE NEXT SLIDE. SO THESE, THESE ARE THE THEMES, THE THEMES AND THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES THAT WE HAVE FOR, FOR CPAC. AND YOU'LL SEE THIS CULMINATE INTO EIGHT I THINK GOALS AND OBJECTIVES AND A LOT OF TALK ABOUT THAT HERE SHORTLY, BUT TO PRESERVE ANGLETON SMALL TOWN CHARACTER AND IDENTITY.

SO THIS IS ONE OF THE GUIDING THEMES AND PRINCIPLES PROMOTE BALANCED AND SUSTAINABLE GROWTH, STRENGTHEN NEIGHBORHOODS AND EXPAND HOUSING CHOICES, INVEST IN CONNECTED INFRASTRUCTURE AND MOBILITY, AND CREATE VIBRANT PLACES AND ENHANCE QUALITY OF LIFE.

AND SO THAT'S WHERE I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE BUS TOUR.

WHEN WE WERE ON THIS TOUR AND WE WERE TALKING AMONGST OURSELVES AS WE WERE RIDING THROUGH AND PAUSING AT ENTRANCES TO THE CITY AND CAUSING GOING BY DIFFERENT PLACES, THERE WAS ONE CPAC MEMBER. WE DROVE PAST HER GRANDDAUGHTER'S HOUSE AND HER GRANDDAUGHTER HAD A VOLLEYBALL COURT IN HER BACKYARD.

AND SO IT STARTED THIS WHOLE CONVERSATION ABOUT CLUB SPORTS.

AND WOULDN'T IT BE NICE IF WE HAD A VENUE IN THE CITY OF ANGLETON, WHERE THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO TRAVEL TO OTHER CITIES AND GENERATE REVENUE FOR OTHER PLACES WITH VENUES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. AND SO WE WERE LIKE, HA, WE'VE, WE'VE BEEN HAVING THAT CONVERSATION SO FAR.

AND SO I THINK THE BALANCE OF PROBABLY FOR ANOTHER TEN MINUTES OR SO ON THE RIDE, AFTER WE PAUSE, WE START TALKING ABOUT OUR ANGLETON COMPLEX, SOMETHING THAT WE COULD HAVE A VENUE THAT WE COULD HAVE HERE.

AND SO THIS ANGLETON COMPLEX NEAR CITY ENTRANCE, IT WOULD INCLUDE ENTERTAINMENT, AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HERE, AS IT RELATES TO ENHANCED QUALITY OF LIFE INCLUDE ENTERTAINMENT AND AMPHITHEATER, CLUB, SPORTS VENUE.

SO ALL THESE THINGS THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT ON CLUB SPORTS, WHEN YOU BRING, IF ANY OF YOU ALL HAVE VOLLEYBALL, YOU HAVE CHEER, ANY OF THOSE SPORTS YOU TRAVEL WITH.

IF YOU'RE ON TRAVEL TEAMS, YOU GO TO OTHER STATES, YOU GO TO OTHER CITIES AND YOU KNOW, IT GENERATES HOT TAX DOLLARS IF YOU'RE BRINGING THOSE THINGS TO YOU BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE STAYING IN HOTELS WHEN THEY COME, THEY'RE EATING WHEN THEY COME. SO WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT AS IT RELATES TO A CLUB SPORTS VENUE, EDUCATION CENTER, SENIOR CENTER, AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS AND BANQUET.

SO EVERYTHING THAT I'VE MENTIONED AS FAR AS A BANQUET VENUE, EVERYTHING THERE, YOU COULD HAVE STRATEGIC PARTNERS, INDUSTRY PARTNERS WHO WOULD WANT TO BE A PART OF FUNDING THIS TYPE OF FACILITY.

AND THEN OF COURSE, THEY'D HAVE NAMING OPPORTUNITIES AND YOU'D BE ABLE TO HAVE ALL THESE THINGS COME. SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT HOW DO YOU DEVELOP STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS, USE SOME OF THIS ETJ SPACE SO THAT PEOPLE WILL WANT TO NOT ONLY BE HERE, BUT COME HERE SO WE CAN GENERATE GROWTH FOR THE CITY IN THAT WAY.

SO THAT IS SOMETHING I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF MENTION.

AND SO AS MENTIONED, AS MENTIONED BEFORE, I DO THINK FROM ALL THE THINGS THAT WE HEARD ON THE BUS TOUR, WE CAN NOT ONLY KEEP THE SMALL TOWN FEEL, BUT THROUGH STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS, WE CAN HAVE POCKETS OF OPPORTUNITY THROUGHOUT IN DIFFERENT PLACES WHERE EACH PERSON KIND OF GETS A CHECK MARK, A WIN WIN, IF YOU WILL.

SO THAT'S KIND OF ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I DID LEARN FROM GOING ON THIS TOUR.

THIS WHOLE THING HAS BEEN A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO JUST GET A PEEK INTO HOW ALL THIS IS DONE WITH PARTNERS, WITH THE CONSULTANTS THAT WE HAVE. AND OF COURSE, OTIS HAS BEEN DOING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FOR A LONG TIME.

SO ANYWAY, THIS HAS BEEN AN INTERESTING JOURNEY. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO WORK WITH THE CPC TEAM.

THANK YOU DENISE. SO I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT WHEN WE DID DERIVE THESE THEMES AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES FROM WITH THE HELP OF CPC, WE ALSO NOTED THAT HOW IT MATCHES YOUR COUNCIL PRIORITIES.

SO WE LOOKED AT YOUR COUNCIL PRIORITIES. AND IF YOU COULD SEE IN THE SMALLER BOXES, EACH OF THESE THEMES AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES WAS SOMETHING THAT THE COUNCIL HAD ALREADY PRIORITIZED. SO SO JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE ALL COMING TOGETHER AND CATCHING ALL THOSE, THE INPUT THAT WAS ALREADY THERE FOR US. NEXT SLIDE.

SO WHAT THIS LED TO IS THERE ARE SEVEN TOPICS FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

[01:00:05]

AND FOR EACH OF THAT, THOSE THE GOAL WE CAME UP WITH THE GOAL BASED ON ALL THE COMMUNITY INPUT THAT WE RECEIVED.

AND THEN IF YOU LOOK THROUGH THE, WE HAVE A HANDOUT THAT TALKS A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT IN DETAIL.

EACH OF THE GOAL THEN HAD OBJECTIVES. AND THEN EACH OBJECTIVE HAD PRIORITIES.

SO IF YOU LOOK, THEN YOU WILL SEE THAT FOR EXAMPLE, LAND USE AND GROWTH, THE GOAL WAS TO GUIDE BALANCED AND COORDINATED GROWTH THAT WOULD SUPPORT ECONOMIC VITALITY, PROTECT NEIGHBORHOODS AND PROMOTE EFFICIENT LAND USE.

SO THEN THE OBJECTIVES ARE LISTED THERE. TALKING ABOUT COMPATIBILITY.

TALKING ABOUT GROWTH TO STRATEGIC AREAS AND SUPPORTING REDEVELOPMENT.

INFILL. MODERNIZING ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS.

ENSURING COMMUNITY CHARACTER IS NOT ERODED AND PROMOTING QUALITY DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN, AND THEN IMPROVING INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION.

IF YOU LOOK THROUGH THE HANDOUT, THE STRATEGIES ARE LISTED FOR EACH OF THESE.

SO I'M NOT GOING TO GO OVER ALL OF THESE. SO THE FIRST WAS LAND USE AND GROWTH.

SECOND WAS HOUSING AND NEIGHBORHOODS. THE SAME THING.

WE HAVE GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES FOR THOSE.

NEXT PLEASE. THEN WE HAVE THE URBAN CHARACTER WHICH AS YOU CAN SEE, WE GOT A LOT OF INPUT FROM.

SO IT HAS A FEW MORE OBJECTIVES THAN OTHERS. AND THEN THE FOURTH ONE WAS TRANSPORTATION, MOBILITY, INFRASTRUCTURE AND DRAINAGE WAS A FIFTH AREA.

THEN RESILIENCY IS SUSTAINABILITY AND THEN PARKS, RECREATION, OPEN SPACE AND CULTURAL ACTIVITIES.

AND THEN LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

AGAIN, THEY'RE NOT IN ANY ORDER. IT'S JUST THE ORDER THAT THE GLOW HAD KIND OF THEY HAD GIVEN A GUIDE ON HOW TO BREAK THESE TOPICS UP.

SO SO THAT'S WHERE WE ARE NOW. NEXT SLIDE. SO ALL THIS IS WITH YOU.

SO WHAT WE DO NEXT IS WE AFTER WE GET THE YOUR FEEDBACK AND INPUT, WE KIND OF GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AND COME UP WITH A DRAFT. MEANWHILE THIS ALSO HAS BEEN SHARED WITH CPAC AND WE HOPE TO GET SOME MORE INPUT FROM THEM IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.

AND THEN ONCE WE PUT ALL THIS TOGETHER, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT COMES OUT OF THIS EXERCISE IS GOING TO BE THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.

SO ALL THIS IS KIND OF LEADING TOWARDS THAT. AND THAT FUTURE LAND USE PLAN WILL GUIDE YOUR ZONING AND LAND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.

SO I THINK THAT'S REALLY WHEN THE RUBBER HITS THE ROAD.

SO NEXT CPAC MEETING WE WILL HAVE A DRAFT LAND USE PLAN BASED ON WHAT WE HAVE HEARD.

THEY HAVE DONE SOME PRELIMINARY EXERCISES ON LAND USES.

AND WE'LL HAVE A DISCUSSION AND THEN COME BACK AND KIND OF START PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER.

BUT BEFORE FINALIZATION, WE WILL HAVE A COUPLE MORE WORK SESSIONS WITH THE CITY COUNCIL AND PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AS WELL AS PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE ZONING PART OF IT.

AND THEN, THEN WE FINALLY GET TO THE ADOPTION.

SO THAT'S KIND OF THE PLAN. AGAIN, YOU KNOW, WE'RE WILLING TO YOU KNOW, PIVOT IF NEEDED, BUT GLOW HAS SOME GUIDELINES ON THE TIMELINE. SO WE WANT TO BE MINDFUL OF THAT AND MAKE SURE THAT THE CITY MEETS THOSE REQUIREMENTS.

SO NEXT SLIDE. SO IT'S OPEN FOR DISCUSSION NOW.

I THINK. WE CAN'T DO THIS NEXT TIME. EXPECTING ANY.

I KNOW IT'LL TAKE SOME TIME, BUT SO WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR INPUT ON THAT BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD.

SO, YOU KNOW, I'LL LEAVE IT UP TO YOU TO DECIDE.

IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING GLARING THAT'S THAT STANDS OUT.

FEEL FREE TO SHARE THAT. OR IF YOU WANT TO TAKE SOME TIME, THAT'S FINE.

THIS WAS MORE TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON WHERE WE STAND, BUT THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

I TRULY APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

SO, OTIS, CAN YOU GO TO THE PODIUM, PLEASE? YES, SIR.

WHAT'S TONIGHT MEANT TO BE A WORK SESSION OR JUST A PRESENTATION? SO TONIGHT IS MEANT TO BE AN UPDATE TO LET YOU KNOW WHERE WE ARE IN THE PLANNING PROCESS.

AND ALSO THE ONE FIRST ITEM THAT WE NEEDED YOUR INPUT ON.

THAT'S WHAT WE NEEDED. IT'S NOT NECESSARILY A WORK SESSION THOUGH, SIR.

WHEN IS THE WORK SESSION WITH THE COUNCIL? WE CAN SCHEDULE THAT AT ANY TIME.

IT'S A SLOT HAS ELUDED. WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE AT LEAST A COUPLE MORE WITH YOU.

DEFINITELY WHEN THE LAND USE PLAN COMES TOGETHER.

BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME YOU'RE GETTING TO SEE.

I THINK THE, THE BULK OF WHAT'S BEEN DONE. WE HAVE A LOT FOR YOU TO REVIEW ON THE AGENDA ATTACHMENT.

[01:05:07]

LOOKING AT THE MATERIAL AND GIVING INPUT. OKAY.

CAN I GIVE SOME INPUT? CERTAINLY. THAT'S WHAT TODAY IS, IS TO, TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE THIS TIME CONCERNS ERRORS THAT MIGHT NEED PIVOTING AS LATA HAS ALLUDED TO. THINGS THAT YOU KNOW, YOU THINK ARE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION OR MAYBE NOT.

THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO DEAL WITH THAT AND TAKE IT BACK TO THE COMMITTEE.

THE CPAC COMMITTEE, BECAUSE THEY ARE THAT IN BETWEEN STEERING COMMITTEE THAT YOU HAVE PUT IN PLACE TO ADVISE YOU.

OKAY, SO FIRST OFF. I DON'T KNOW WHAT PAGE YOU WOULD CALL IT.

57 ON THE PRESENTATION. THE ITEM NUMBER SIX, THE TERROR WAS SPEAKING ON IT. IT WAS ALL THE DIFFERENT ITEMS AND THE ONES THAT ARE IN PURPLE VERSUS GRAY BETWEEN THE COUNCIL AND THE CPC COMMITTEE.

I'D LIKE TO UNDERSTAND THE RECONCILIATION OF THAT A LITTLE BIT BETTER, OF WHICH ONE WEIGHS MORE.

DOES YOU KNOW THE INPUT FROM GENERAL CITIZENS? ARE THEY GOING TO SKEW IT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER? THAT'S WHY I LIKE HAVING MORE OF A REGULAR DIALOG WHILE WE'RE GOING THROUGH THIS, BECAUSE BY THE TIME WE GET THROUGH THE WHOLE THING, IT'S HARD TO GO BACK THROUGH THIS. ON THIS ONE, I DEFINITELY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE UNDERSTANDING BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SLIDE IN THE WHOLE PRESENTATION. THERE WAS WHAT COUNCIL THOUGHT ONE WAY VERSUS WHAT CPAC THOUGHT THE OTHER WAY.

WHAT ARE THE CITIZENS THINK AND HOW DO THEY SEE THIS? SO A RECONCILIATION OF THIS SLIDE IS GOING TO BE CRUCIAL.

BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO DICTATE HOW WE GO FORWARD.

I MEAN ARE WE MISSING THE MARK? ARE YOU MISSING THE MARK OR THE CITIZENS? YOU KNOW, THEY'RE THE ONES DRIVING THE BUS. SO WHAT DO WE WHAT? WHICH WAY SHOULD WE GO? THAT'S TO ME, REALLY IMPORTANT.

I LIKE THAT WE BOTH ARE IN LINE ON THOSE THREE MAJOR ONES THAT THAT'S REALLY GOOD.

AND I THINK THOSE ARE PROBABLY THE THREE MOST IMPORTANT ONES TO ME AS WELL. WELL, THERE'S OTHER ONES LIKE INFRASTRUCTURE.

CORRECT. YOU KNOW, LIKE IF YOU REALLY LOOK AT THEM, WE'RE ACTUALLY NOT TOO FAR APART ON ANYTHING, RIGHT? SO JUST A RECONCILIATION OF THIS SLIDE.

SECOND. WHERE ARE WE GETTING SOME OF THIS DATA FROM? MEDIAN INCOME. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT WHERE PEOPLE ARE WORKING VERSUS WHERE THEY'RE LIVING, HOW ARE YOU COMING BACK TO THAT DATA? IS THAT COMING FROM STATE RECORDS? IS IT COMING FROM FEDERAL RECORDS? WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT? A LOT OF IT IS CENSUS INFORMATION AND THE AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANTS ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO OTHER RECORDS. SO I THINK IN OUR REPORT, WE DO CITE THE SOURCES.

MAYBE WE SHOULD DO A BETTER JOB OF CITING THE SOURCE FOR EVERY SLIDE.

MAYBE THAT MIGHT HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHERE IT'S COMING FROM.

OKAY. WELL, WORKING IN THE CITY, YOU'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE COUNTY IS THE BIGGEST EMPLOYER.

SO I MEAN, YEAH. AND THE HOSPITAL. JUST A KEY ANECDOTE THAT I WANTED TO SAY OUT THERE ON THE HOTELS AND LODGING.

MISS JACKSON, YOU MENTIONED IT AND I WANT TO JUST HIT ON THAT REAL QUICK.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN ATTRACTING A LOT OF TOURNAMENTS FOR SOFTBALL AND FOR SOCCER AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND I GO OUT THERE AND I TALK TO THESE PEOPLE, I GO, I GO UP TO THEM AND SAY, WHERE ARE YOU FROM? THANK YOU FOR COMING TO ANGLETON. AND WHERE ARE YOU STAYING? AND I, I'VE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT'S GREAT TO GET THESE PEOPLE HERE, BUT WE'RE NOT KEEPING THEM BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE HOTELS THAT WILL TAKE THEM. SO IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT WE PUT ON THE GROUND HERE AND WHAT TOURNAMENTS WE HOST OR WHAT WE DO, IF WE DON'T HAVE A PLACE FOR THEM. THEY'RE NOT STAYING HERE.

THEY'RE GOING TO LAKE JACKSON. MOST OF THEM ALWAYS TELL ME THE ONE PLACE THEY ALWAYS GO.

AND IT'S THE ONE THING I THINK WE NEED THE MOST. YOU KNOW, THE THE COURTYARD BY MARRIOTT.

BY THE MALL IN LAKE JACKSON IS WHERE MOST OF THEM USUALLY SITE.

AND THE REASON THEY CITE IT IS IT'S CLOSE TO ANGLETON AND IT HAS A LOT OF WALKABLE RESTAURANTS AT THE MALL AND AROUND THERE, AND THAT'S WHERE THEY GO. AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE COMPETING WITH.

SO, I MEAN, IT'S GREAT THAT WE'RE, WE'RE WANTING TO PUT MORE TOURNAMENTS ON OR BRING MORE PEOPLE HERE WITH HOSTING MARKET

[01:10:04]

AND THEN SOMETHING ELSE TARA SAID THAT I THINK NEEDS TO BE POINTED OUT, AND I SAY IT ALL THE TIME IS WHEN I WAS A KID, ANGLETON WAS NOT A BEDROOM COMMUNITY. IT HAD AN INDUSTRIAL BASE.

IT HAD OPPORTUNITIES FOR JOBS. IT HAD IT WAS NOT JUST A BEDROOM COMMUNITY.

WE TOOK OUR EYE OFF THE BALL YEARS AGO, AND WE'RE PAYING FOR IT NOW.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO FIX NOW IS WE USED TO HAVE WAREHOUSE JOBS.

WE USED TO HAVE MANUFACTURING, LIGHT MANUFACTURING. WE USED TO HAVE MEDICAL DEVICE MANUFACTURING.

THERE WERE LOTS OF OPPORTUNITIES HERE AND WE LET THEM ALL GO.

WE HAVE ONLY A FEW LEFT AND WE'VE GOT TO PROTECT WHAT WE HAVE AND GROW ORGANICALLY FROM INSIDE.

AND I WOULD HOPE THAT THE CPC COMMITTEE CAN THINK OF WAYS TO ORGANICALLY GROW.

HOW DO WE GROW THE BUSINESSES WE HAVE HERE? HOW DO WE INVEST IN THEM TO MAKE THEM BETTER SO THAT THEY BUILD MORE AND THEY STAY HERE? THAT, TO ME, IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECES TO THIS PUZZLE, BECAUSE IT'S HARD TO GO GET A MULTINATIONAL BUSINESS TO COME RELOCATE TO YOUR TOWN.

IT'S A WHOLE LOT EASIER IF YOU HAVE ONE THAT'S GROWING FROM THE FROM INSIDE AND IT WANTS TO STAY HERE.

SO I HOPE THAT'S SOMETHING YOU CAN TAKE UP IN THAT COMMITTEE.

CERTAINLY, WE'LL MAKE THAT PART OF THE ECONOMIC PIECE AND DEFINITELY IN THE GOALS AND STRATEGIES ON HOW TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN IN THAT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.

WE'LL TRY TO FOCUS ON THAT. AND THEN THE LAST THING I REALLY, I MEAN, I COULD, I COULD SPEND ANOTHER HOUR ON THIS, BUT THE ROADS THE MOBILITY PLAN IT'S FUNNY HOW YOU'VE REFERENCED THE 2005 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE MOBILITY PLAN THAT PASSED COUNCIL IS JUST COMPLETELY WIPED THROUGH AND YOU CAN'T EVEN DO THESE NOW, THERE'S SUBDIVISIONS IN SOME OF THE SPOTS WHERE THE ROAD IS SUPPOSED TO GO THROUGH.

I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW YOU, YOU UPDATE THAT TO ME.

THAT'S VERY VITAL TO THIS AS WELL. VERY VITAL IS THIS ROAD PLAN AND HOPEFULLY A WAY TO IMPROVE THOSE ROADS AT THE SAME TIME CAN BE ADDRESSED TO IN RESERVE.

PRESERVE THE RIGHT OF WAYS AND DO A BETTER JOB AT THAT.

THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT GOOD INPUT.

WE APPRECIATE THAT. AND THOSE WILL DEFINITELY BE DISCUSSED AT THE COMMITTEE LEVEL.

WE KNOW IT'S A LOT, BUT I THINK THIS IS A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO SEE EVERYTHING AT ONCE AND KNOW WHERE, WHERE IT IS AND HOW THEY CAN GIVE THEIR INPUT.

SO. I PROMISE NO MORE QUESTIONS. OH, I DO HAVE ANOTHER ONE.

THE ETJ AREA. IT'D BE NICE TO SEE A MAP LIKE YOU HAVE REFERENCED ON IT.

59. WHERE YOU TALK ABOUT THE EXISTING CONDITIONS, THE VACANT DEVELOPABLE DEVELOPABLE LAND.

AND THERE'S A LOT OF THAT REFERENCED INSIDE OF THE ETJ.

HOW IS I GOING TO LOOK WITH NO ETJ? I MEAN, IT'D BE NICE TO UNDERSTAND THAT AND DEFINITELY MAKE SURE IT'S ADDRESSED IN THE IN THE PLAN. WHAT THAT DOES TO THE CITY WITH NO ETJ.

I MEAN, BECAUSE THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW. I MEAN, I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES WEEKLY I GET ASKED ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING OVER BY BUCKY'S.

AND I'M LIKE, OUR HANDS ARE TIED. WE HAVE WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY ZERO STROKE ON THIS AND HAVE NO WAY TO CONTROL IT.

RIGHT? WE WILL DEFINITELY THAT LAND USE PLAN, WHICH WILL FOCUS MORE ON THE CITY LIMITS AND THE VACANT LAND THAT IS AVAILABLE, WE MIGHT NEED TO REPURPOSE OUR INDUSTRIAL SECTOR TO TO THE SOUTH WHERE THERE HASN'T BEEN A LOT OF ATTENTION.

SO THOSE ARE SORT OF THINGS THAT WILL BRING BACK TO THE COMMITTEE WHEN WE PULL OUT THAT LAND USE PLAN.

AND THEN WHAT'S TO THE NORTH? THERE'S A LOT OF VACANT TERRITORY TO THE NORTH, AND WE DO HAVE SOME CAVITIES WITHIN THAT ARE SURROUNDED BY THE CITY.

BUT THOSE OPPORTUNITY ZONES AT THE DIFFERENT ENTRANCES, WHEN YOU COME IN FROM THE WEST INTO THE CITY, FROM THE NORTH AS WELL, WE'LL FOCUS ON THOSE AREAS.

JUST TO ADD, I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL IS WHEN WE DO THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP TO KIND OF DO A ROUGH ANALYSIS ON THE FISCAL IMPACT. WHAT WE TYPICALLY DO IS IF IT'S ALL SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, WHAT ARE THE REVENUES THAT YOU GET VERSUS COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL,

[01:15:02]

AND AS I MENTIONED, PRESERVATION OF INDUSTRIAL AND HEAVY COMMERCIAL WOULD BE KEY TO BUILDING GOOD PAYING JOBS IN THE CITY.

SO WE'LL DO THAT. SOME OF THAT. ONCE WE HAVE A FUTURE LAND USE PLAN DRAFTED BY THE CPSC SO THAT PEOPLE CAN MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS.

AND ALSO ON THE MAP, COULD YOU PUT ANOTHER A SEPARATE BOX THAT SHOWS FUTURE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE LIKE IN 30 YEARS, THEY WILL BE PART OF ANGLETON LIKE WINDOWS GREEN AND AUSTIN COLONY, MAYBE A DIFFERENT COLORED DOTTED LINE BECAUSE THEY WILL BE ANNEXED WHENEVER THEIR TIME IS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

WE CAN DO THAT. YES. OKAY.

WELL, THANKS FOR THE INPUT. IT DOESN'T END HERE.

WE DO HAVE TWO PERSONS ON THE COUNCIL ON THE COMMITTEE.

SO THEY HEAR YOU AS WELL, AND THEY'LL HOLD US ACCOUNTABLE.

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE MAYOR MAYOR. YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO TALK FOR AN HOUR.

WE REALLY WANT TO HEAR THAT. OKAY. HOW CAN WE MAKE THAT HAPPEN? MAYBE SOME KIND OF A WORK SESSION? SURE. WE DEFINITELY WANT TO HEAR ALL THAT.

SO I WANT TO BE ON THE BUS TOUR, BUT IT WAS SCHEDULED ON A DAY.

I HAD TO BE AT THE OFFICE, SO I, I WOULD LOVE TO SIT DOWN AND HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH YOU ON IT.

ORGANIZE SOMETHING. MAYBE KPAT AND COUNCIL TOGETHER WOULD BE GREAT.

THANK YOU. GREAT. THANK YOU. THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR WORK.

THANK YOU. OH, MAN. YOU'RE ASKING FOR MONEY, AREN'T YOU? I HAVEN'T EVEN READ THE AGENDA ITEM. YOU'RE IN A HURRY.

ITEM NUMBER SEVEN. DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION.

[7. Discussion and possible action to approve a water tank maintenance contract with Utility Service Co., Inc. ]

THIS IS ACTUALLY FOR THE JAMESON TANK, WHICH IS A HALF MILLION GALLON TANK.

THEY'RE ON JAMESON BOULEVARD THERE FOR THAT LITTLE WATER PLANT THAT WE HAVE THERE.

WHENEVER MR. WILLIAMS IS HERE AGAIN, AND WHENEVER HE GOES THROUGH HIS PRESENTATION, YOU'LL SEE THE CONDITION OF THAT OF THAT TANK.

BUT AS FAR AS FUNDS REQUESTED FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR, THE YEAR ONE COST WOULD BE $56,726, WHICH I'VE LAID OUT, YOU KNOW, WITH BOTH AGREEMENTS TOTALED, YOU KNOW, FOR THIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR WOULD NOW TOTAL $86,726.

AND, YOU KNOW, ALL THE FOLLOWING FISCAL YEARS OF WHAT THE COST OF THE TANK MAINTENANCE PROGRAM WOULD BE FOR BOTH OF THESE TANKS.

YOU KNOW, SO WE'RE LOOKING FOR APPROVAL FOR THIS SO WE CAN GET THIS MUCH NEEDED MAINTENANCE DONE ON THIS TANK.

AND THEN ALSO HE'S GOING TO GO OVER THE REMAINING TANKS IN THE CITY JUST FOR, YOU KNOW, EVERYONE TO TAKE A LOOK AT AS WE, YOU KNOW, CONSIDER ALSO INCLUDING THOSE TANKS IN FUTURE YEARS TO INCLUDE ON THIS MAINTENANCE PROGRAM.

SO WITH THAT, I'LL PASS IT OVER TO MR. WILLIAMS HERE.

GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL. MAKE IT CLEAR I'M THE ONE YOU'RE ASKING FOR MONEY, NOT HECTOR.

SO WE HAVE ABOUT TEN SLIDES TO GO THROUGH. I WAS GOING TO MAKE ABOUT 42, BUT HECTOR SAID NO.

ABOUT FOUR OF THEM ARE THE IMPORTANT ONES. AGAIN WHEN WE CAME OUT TO DO NORTHSIDE, WE WENT THROUGH THE ADDITIONAL TANKS.

WE ACTUALLY DID A RISK ASSESSMENT ON ALL OF YOUR TANKS.

WE WERE ABLE TO COME BACK AND DELIVER WHAT OUR FINDINGS TO YOUR TEAM.

WITH THE FINDINGS, JAMISON TANK IS IN CRITICAL NEED OF SOME ATTENTION.

WE ALSO HAVE THE ADDITIONAL TANKS ON THE LIST AS WELL AS HECTOR MENTIONED.

AND THE FIRST FEW SLIDES, I WANT TO TRY AND GO THROUGH THIS REAL QUICK.

SO IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE STOP ME ASK QUESTIONS, BUT I'M GOING TO TRY AND GET THROUGH THIS PRETTY QUICK.

FIRST FEW SLIDES JUST TALKS ABOUT US AGAIN, IF YOU DON'T REMEMBER FROM OUR LAST MEETING WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO WE NOW CURRENTLY HAVE OVER 5000 TANKS ON THE MAINTENANCE PLAN THROUGHOUT THE US.

WE'RE ACTUALLY OVER 300,000 TOTAL ASSET CONTRACTS NOW.

ALL OF OUR SERVICE CENTERS MAIN SERVICE CENTER AND OUR WATER SYSTEM CONSULTANTS THROUGHOUT THE US.

[01:20:03]

ALL OF OUR TEAM MEMBERS HAVE TO DO A 40 HOUR CLASS EVERY YEAR.

THIS IS PART OF OUR ISO THAT. SO WE CAN MAINTAIN IT AND WE FOLLOW T-C-E-Q, OSHA, AWWA STANDARDS, ALL OF THOSE. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. MAINTENANCE PLAN.

BASICALLY, YOU'RE PASSING OVER THE RISK OVER TO US.

WE ARE TAKING CARE OF YOUR TANK. WE'RE BEING PROACTIVE.

WE'RE TAKING CARE OF EVERYTHING. THE BIGGEST THING IS NO CHANGE ORDERS.

I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT. I DON'T LIKE THAT PART.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT HAPPENS OUT IN THE FIELD. THINGS HAPPEN.

I WILL SAY I'VE BEEN HERE FOR FOUR YEARS. I'VE ONLY HAD TO DO TWO CHANGEOVERS IN OVER 100 TANKS, SO IT HARDLY EVER HAPPENS. THE REASON WHY THIS IS, IS WASHOUTS ARE VERY IMPORTANT ON THESE TANKS, AND WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS THAT HERE IN JUST A MINUTE.

SO WITH NORTHSIDE WE DID A WASHOUT JUST TO VERIFY ALL THE INTERIOR AND WHAT WE NEED TO DO FOR THAT TANK.

AND WE DO THAT TO ENSURE BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO DO A CHANGE ORDER.

SO WE DID THE SAME THING ON JAMESON. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

SO WITH THE MAINTENANCE PLAN, YOU GET YOUR VISUAL INSPECTIONS YEARLY FOR TCSEC.

YOU GET WASHOUTS. WASHOUTS AGAIN, ARE CRITICAL EMERGENCY REPAIRS.

SO IF THE TANK IS LEAKING OR SOMEONE SHOOTS IT, WHATEVER, WE'RE GOING TO COME OUT AND FIX IT AT NO COST TO YOU.

IT'S PART OF THE PROGRAM. TAKES CARE OF ALL INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR RENOVATIONS.

SECURITY MEASURES. SO WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THE TANK'S SAFE AND ALL THAT.

SO WE'RE TAKING MAINTENANCE MANPOWER, WHICH IS AN ISSUE FOR A LOT OF CITIES AND PLANNING AND WRAPPING ALL THAT UP INTO ONE PROGRAM AND GOING DOWN THE FUNNEL TO US. SO THE BIGGEST THING WITH MAINTENANCE PLAN PROLONG LIFE, THE BIGGEST THING IS YOU ALSO KNOW WHAT YOUR BUDGET IS.

SO WE'RE NOT GOING THROUGH WAIT UNTIL THE TANK NEEDS WORK.

WAITING TOO LONG UNTIL THERE'S A LOT OF REPAIRS THAT NEED TO BE DONE, WHICH DRIVES COST UP.

SO YOU'RE PROLONGING THE LIFE. YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR BUDGET IS? EVERYTHING'S LEVEL. WE'RE KEEPING YOU IN COMPLIANCE WITH TCDC.

NO VIOLATIONS. SO EVERYTHING'S TAKEN CARE OF.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SOUTH SIDE ELEVATED. AGAIN, THIS WAS PART OF THE RISK ASSESSMENT.

ONE THING THAT WAS REQUESTED WAS A MIXER IN THIS TANK, SIMILAR TO WHAT WE DID ON NORTH SIDE.

SO WE HAVE A MIXER BUILT INTO THIS PROGRAM TO BE INSTALLED.

WE ARE DOING A LIMITED MP ON THIS TANK IS WHAT WE'RE OFFERING.

THE REASON WHY IS THIS IS A FAIRLY NEW TANK. YOU HAVE NEW COATINGS.

THE INTERIOR COATINGS ARE GOING TO LAST A LONG TIME ON THIS TANK.

THE EXTERIOR COATINGS ARE THE ONE THAT TAKES THE ABUSE BECAUSE OF WHERE WE'RE AT BY THE SALT WATER.

SO WHAT WE'RE OFFERING IS A SEVEN YEAR COST SPREAD ON THIS TANK.

THIS COVERS YOUR FUTURE RENOVATION IN SEVEN YEARS, AND IT ALSO COVERS THE MIXER.

THE MIXER, ALONG WITH INSTALLING EVERYTHING, IS ALMOST $50,000.

SO ALL THIS IS BUILT INTO IT. AND THEN YEAR EIGHT, IT STARTS.

YOU'RE JUST REGULAR MAINTENANCE FEE RIGHT THERE AT THAT $13,000 A YEAR.

ONCE WE DETERMINE WHEN THE INTERIOR NEEDS TO BE RENOVATED, WE COME BACK AND SIT DOWN AGAIN.

THE INTERIOR MIGHT GO ANOTHER 12. IT MIGHT GO ANOTHER 15.

WE WANT TO GET THE LIFE OUT OF IT. WE DON'T WANT TO CHARGE YOU GUYS FOR SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT NEED TO BE DONE RIGHT NOW.

NEXT. SHENANGO PLANT. FAIRLY NEW PLANT HERE AS WELL.

THIS TANK COULD USE AN EXTERIOR PRESSURE WASH.

WE HAVE SOME CRACK INJECTIONS, A COUPLE RESURFACING, A FEW THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE.

SO THIS IS ANOTHER LIMITED MP FOR THIS TANK. FOR PEOPLE ONLINE MP MAKES SORRY AND P W MAINTENANCE PLAN. AND PW IS A PRESSURE WASH. EXTERIOR PRESSURE WASH.

THANK YOU. SO SO THIS IS KIND OF THE SCOPE OF WORK THAT WE HAVE PLANNED FOR THIS TANK.

IT ALSO INCLUDES THE INTERIOR WASHOUT CHEMICAL CLEAN FOR THIS TANK SO WE CAN SEE WHAT THE INTERIOR IS.

AGAIN, WE DID NOT WANT TO PUT ANY COSTS TOGETHER ON THE INTERIOR BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW.

SO THIS COST US FOR THE EXTERIOR. AND THEN YOUR YEARLY FEE FOR THIS TANK IS ROUGHLY $6,000 A YEAR TO PUT IT ON THE MAINTENANCE PLAN.

AGAIN, IT COVERS EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR THE INTERIOR COATINGS.

WE DON'T KNOW WHEN THAT NEEDS TO BE, WHEN THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

THEN WE WILL SIT DOWN AND DISCUSS THAT HENDERSON PLAN.

YOUR OLDEST, ONE OF YOUR OLDEST TANKS DEFINITELY NEEDS A PRESSURE WASH.

WE HAVE SOME REPAIRS THAT NEED TO BE DONE ON THIS TANK.

WE'RE ALSO ADDING SAFETY RAILS UP AROUND THE MAIN HATCH.

[01:25:01]

SO THERE'S SOME LADDER WORK. THERE'S, THERE'S A FEW THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE TO THIS TANK.

JUST ROUGH COST IS AROUND $80,000. AND AGAIN, YOU'RE LOOKING AROUND THAT SIX $7,000 A YEAR FOR THE MAINTENANCE PLAN FOR THIS TANK.

AND IT HAS A CHEMICAL CLEAN ON THE INTERIOR SO WE CAN DETERMINE WHAT NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE ON THE INTERIOR AND WHAT IS THE EXTERIOR PRESSURE WASH DO? DOES IT MAKE IT LOOK PRETTY OR IS THERE MAKES IT LOOK PRETTY? OKAY? IT GETS ALL THAT BIO GROWTH AND EVERYTHING OFF AND JUST CLEANS IT UP.

OKAY. SO JAMISON JAMISON. PLANT EXTERIOR COATINGS, ESPECIALLY ON THE ROOF, THEY ARE FILLING.

YOU CAN SEE THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF FLASH RUST GOING ON.

THAT HEAVY STREAK OF RUST GOING DOWN THE CENTER RIGHT THERE.

THAT IS ACTUALLY FROM THE SCREEN, FROM THE EVENT ON TOP OF THE ROOF, WHICH SANITARY, YOU'RE GETTING THAT IN YOUR TANK.

SO THIS TANK NEEDS A BLAST ON THE EXTERIOR, NEW COATINGS, NEW AIR VENT.

NEXT SLIDE. WASHOUT. THIS IS WHY WASHOUTS ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE BEFORE IS. YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE AFTER IS.

THIS IS JUST A STANDARD WASHOUT. ONE THING I HAVE DONE WITH THIS TANK IS I HAVE BUILT IN A CHEMICAL CLEAN WITH THIS.

WHAT A CHEMICAL CLEAN IS GOING TO DO IS. IT'S REALLY GOING TO KNOCK ALL THAT BIO GROWTH ON THE SIDE WALLS OUT.

AND IT'S GOING TO CLEAN THAT STAINING UP 90% OF THE WAY.

IT MIGHT NOT GET RID OF ALL OF IT. IT MIGHT GET RID OF IT ALL.

BUT YOU CAN SEE THE STAIN ON THE SIDEWALLS. SO STANDARD WASHOUTS REALLY NOT GOING TO GET ALL THAT OFF.

BUT IF WE DO A CHEMICAL CLEAN AND CHEMICAL CLEAN IS JUST HIGH CHLORINE.

IT'S ONE OF OUR OWN PRODUCTS. IT IS NSF WATER APPROVED SAFETY AND ALL THAT.

BUT WHEN WE DO THAT, IT'S GOING TO KEEP THE INTERIOR OF THAT TANK EXTREMELY CLEAN, WHICH IS GOING TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR WATER QUALITY.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS FOR DOING WASHOUTS.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE, IS ALL OF THAT GRIT AND BUILD UP ON THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK IS EATING UP THE COATINGS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK. ALL THREE OF THIS TANK WE HAVE PITY.

SO THE COATING IS FELLED ON THE FLOOR. WE HAVE RUST, IT'S BLOOMING AND IT'S EATING THROUGH THE FLOOR OF THIS TANK.

SO WE'RE GOING TO DO A FULL RENOVATION ON THIS TANK WITH REPAIRS.

IT'S KIND OF A SCOPE OF WORK RIGHT THERE. WE'RE DOING THE FULL FULL MP ON THIS TANK BECAUSE WE DO KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN ON THE INTERIOR.

ONE THING THAT IT DOES NEED IS IT DOES NEED AN ADDITIONAL MANWAY.

SO THAT'S THE. FOR THIS SIZE TANK, IT ONLY HAS ONE MAIN WAY IT NEEDS TO.

SO WE WILL BE INSTALLING A NEW MANWAY ON IT TO MAKE SURE WE MEET SPECS.

YOUR TOTAL COST FOR RENOVATION IS $150,065 FOR ALL THE REPAIRS.

AND EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. ONE THING WE DO IS WE DO PUT THIS TOGETHER FOR ALL THE TANKS.

THIS IS JUST SHOWING YOU YOUR COST SPREAD. SO THIS SHOWS YOU YOUR FIRST THREE YEARS AND THEN YOUR YEAR FOUR TANK FEE.

AND THEN SO FORTH. YOU CAN SEE EACH YEAR WHAT WE ARE GOING TO BE DOING.

SO YEAR ONE, WE HAVE INTERIOR EXTERIOR RENOVATIONS.

YEAR TWO WE'RE DOING VISUAL INSPECTIONS, REPAIRS AS NEEDED, TOUCH UPS, ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

AND THEN YEAR THREE, THAT'S WHEN THAT WASHOUT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

SO EVERY OTHER YEAR WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING WASHOUTS, MAKING SURE WE'RE KEEPING THAT TANK CLEAN, WHICH IS GOING TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR WATER QUALITY. YEAR SEVEN.

THAT IS YOUR NEXT EXTERIOR RENOVATION. SO YOU'RE ON WITH US BEING CLOSE TO THE COAST, JUST LIKE WE DISCUSSED WITH NORTHSIDE, EXTERIOR COATINGS WILL BE ON A CYCLE OF EVERY SEVEN YEARS, AND THEN THE INTERIOR WILL GO 10 TO 12 YEARS OR SO.

BUT THIS WILL GIVE YOU A COST. LET YOU KNOW WHERE IT'S AT.

IT CAN HAVE THAT 5% INCREASE. SO WE'RE NOT HIDING ANYTHING.

EVERYTHING IS RIGHT HERE SHOWING WHAT YOUR COST IS GOING TO BE OVER THE NEXT ALMOST TEN YEARS.

AND FOR THOSE ONLINE WHO MAY NOT REMEMBER FROM YOUR LAST PRESENTATION, HOW MANY YEARS HAVE YOU BEEN IN BUSINESS? SINCE 1963. WE ARE THE LONGEST RUNNING TANK COMPANY.

YEAH, BUT THESE PRICES DON'T INCLUDE OUR YEAR ANNUAL FEES THAT WE SIGNED.

CORRECT. THIS IS JUST FOR JAMESON PLANT. SO THIS IS THE YEARLY FEES WITH THE RENOVATION.

SO THAT'S WHAT THIS ONE LOOKS LIKE.

SO Y'ALL JUST DIVIDED THE CONTRACT FEE INTO PORTIONS.

SO THE WAY IT WORKS IS IF YOU LOOK $56,000 FOR THREE YEARS, IT DOESN'T COME UP TO 150,000.

YEAR TWO YOU START PAYING FOR YOUR RENOVATION, YOUR RENOVATION FEES, YOUR MAINTENANCE FEES, IF YOU WILL, BECAUSE YOU'RE STARTING TO PREPAY FOR THAT FUTURE RENOVATION.

SO YEAR TWO. THAT FEE STARTS AUTOMATICALLY. SO TWO AND THREE AND SPLIT THAT UP INTO THE THREE YEARS.

[01:30:05]

THE WORDING WE ALSO MADE THAT CORRECTION IN THE NEW CONTRACT FOR THIS TANK AS WELL.

SO EVERYTHING MATCHES. SO I'D SAY WITHIN MOST OF YOUR CUSTOMERS OR I'D SAY NEW CUSTOMERS THAT YOU RUN ACROSS YOUR YOUR BUSINESS IS BASED BASICALLY IT'S BASED ON OUR NEGLECT, RIGHT? YEAH. PRETTY MUCH. I MEAN, FLAT OUT, THAT'S WHAT IT IS.

SO YOU'RE ON THE COAST. I MEAN, THESE TANKS ARE TAKING A BEATING, RIGHT? RIGHT. BUT ONCE YOU GUYS HAVE CONTROL OF THEM, YOU'RE PAINTING THEM.

YOU'RE YOU'RE COATING THE INSIDE AND BEFORE COATING THE INSIDE, YOU'RE GOING IN AND YOU'RE CUTTING OUT SPOTS, YOU'RE PATCHING THEM AND DOING THAT. SO AT THAT POINT YOU TALKED, YOU TALKED ABOUT LIFESPAN OF THE EQUIPMENT.

I MEAN, IT OUGHT TO BE PRETTY WELL PERPETUAL AS FAR AS WELL.

I MEAN, YOU'RE, YOU'RE IN CONTROL OF IT. SO YOU'RE MAINTAINING IT.

SO YOU'RE CATCHING, SO YOU'RE CATCHING THINGS AS THEY'RE COMING UP. SO UNLESS WE NEED MORE CAPACITY OR, OR YOU GUYS ARE MISSING SOMETHING ON YOUR PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE.

I MEAN, WHAT'S YOUR, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY YOU EXTEND THE LIFE OF, OF AN AVERAGE CUSTOMER'S ASSETS BY.

I MEAN, IT'S GOT TO BE PRETTY IT'S GOT TO BE PRETTY EXPONENTIAL.

WE HAVE TANKS ON OUR MAINTENANCE PLAN THAT ARE 100 YEARS OLD.

THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I WAS THINKING. AS LONG AS YOU ARE MAINTAINING YOUR TANKS AND TAKING CARE OF THEM, THEY'RE GOING TO LAST FOREVER, RIGHT? THEY'RE GOING TO LAST FOREVER. AS LONG AS YOU ARE TAKING CARE OF THEM, DOING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.

AND THAT'S WHAT THIS PLAN COVERS. IF YOU ARE NOT DOING IT, THEN YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER SOUTH SIDE AND IT COSTS A LOT OF MONEY.

SO AND THAT WAS KIND OF MY POINT IS THAT THERE, THERE SHOULDN'T BE THERE SHOULDN'T BE A THERE SHOULDN'T BE A WHOLE LOT OF REASON FOR US GOING IN AND, AND, YOU KNOW, REPLACING, REPLACING TANKS OR DOING ANY OUTSIDE OF SCOPE REPAIRS BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO BE CATCHING THESE REGULARLY.

THAT'S CORRECT. AND YOU KNOW, ONE THING WE'RE WATCHING THE INTERIOR AS WELL.

SOMETIMES THE CHLORINE GASES CAN EAT UP THE INTERIORS.

WE MAY NEED TO PUT A POWER VENT ON ON A TANK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO HELP PUSH THE GASES OUT.

THAT'S ONE REASON FOR THE MIXER TO HELP THE RESIDUALS AND THE MIXERS ON THE MAINTENANCE PLAN.

SO IF THE MOTOR EVER GOES OUT, THAT'S ON ME, NOT ON YOU.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEND ANOTHER 40 OR $50,000.

THAT'S ON ME. THE MOTOR WILL EVENTUALLY GO OUT.

IT'S MECHANICAL. IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. BUT WHEN IT DOES.

THAT'S MY PROBLEM. NOT YOUR PROBLEM, RIGHT? AND THE ONLY THING WE DON'T COVER IS THE ACT OF GOD.

AND IF HE COMES IN AND SAYS WE NEED TO CHANGE THE WAVE SIZE FROM 30 TO 60 INCH.

WE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S OUT OF OUR CONTROL. SO, AND THEN THAT'S WHEN WE COME BACK.

REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS. SO, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THE TANK, MAKE SURE IT'S LOOKING GOOD.

KEEPING EVERYTHING COMPLIANT. JACOB DOESN'T HAVE TCU BREATHING DOWN HIS NECK OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

WE'RE KEEPING THE TANK IN GOOD SHAPE LIKE NEW.

I WANT TO ASK ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE WATER.

DO YOU THINK? DO YOU THINK IN THE CURRENT CONDITION OF THE JAMESON.

AND WE'LL THROW THE HENDERSON PLAN IN THERE AS WELL.

DO YOU THINK THE CONDITION OF THE WATER QUALITY IS BEING AFFECTED IN ITS CURRENT STATE.

AND WILL IT BE BETTER ONCE HE'S MAINTAINED? IT'S HARD TO SAY.

IT IS. IT'S HARD TO SAY IT'S NOT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ROUTINE FLUSHING IS OR PROGRAM OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT IS.

IT'S DEFINITELY NOT GOING TO HURT. IT'S I MEAN, YOU CAN SEE THE CONDITION OF WHAT YOU HAD IN THE BOTTOM OF THAT TANK, THE SIDEWALLS. AGAIN, THAT'S WHY WE KIND OF WATCH THESE AND SEE WHAT WE HAVE AND WHAT THE BIO GROWTH HAS SEEN ON THE SIDE WALLS.

THAT'S WHY I PUT IT IN FOR A CHEMICAL CLEAN, BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT'S JUST A STANDARD WASH OUT IS GOING TO DO WHAT IT NEEDS TO DO. SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE GOING TO REALLY HIT IT.

AND I PROMISE YOU, IF I SHOWED YOU WHAT THE NUMBERS ARE YEARLY ON THAT, YOU'RE NOT EVEN GOING TO NOTICE IT.

SO I WILL SAY WITH THE WATER QUALITY QUESTION THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'VE SEEN NO SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN ANYTHING AS FAR AS ALL THE STATE TESTING WE DO. WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANY INCREASES IN IRON OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE.

SO AT THIS POINT, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T SEE ANY WATER QUALITY ISSUES THAT ARE BEING CAUSED BY THIS TANK.

BUT THAT'S THE POINT OF GETTING THINGS DONE NOW SO THAT WE DON'T GET TO THAT POINT, BECAUSE IT CAN VERY WELL HAPPEN.

DO WE PUBLISH THOSE WATER QUALITY TESTS FOR THE CITIZENS EVERY YEAR?

[01:35:01]

MR. GLOVER ACTUALLY PUTS THAT TOGETHER FOR US.

IT'S POSTED ON THE WEBSITE OR A LINK TO IT IS POSTED ON THE WEBSITE AND ANYBODY CAN GO CHECK IT OUT.

WE HAVE TO IT'S REQUIRED BY LAW THAT WE DO IT EVERY YEAR.

DO WE TEST HOW OFTEN DO WE TEST THE WATER? IT DEPENDS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

YOU KNOW, BUT LIKE JUST LIKE FOR INSTANCE, A BACTERIOLOGICAL, RIGHT? THAT'S JUST TESTING IF THERE'S ANY TYPE OF E.COLI OR ANY TRACES OF ANY TYPE OF MATTER OF THAT NATURE.

THOSE ARE DONE MONTHLY AND ALL AROUND THE SYSTEM.

SO THERE'S SPOTS LOCATED AROUND TOWN. JACOB AND HIS TEAM GO AROUND AND COLLECT THOSE ON A MONTHLY BASIS.

THERE'S THINGS WE DO QUARTERLY ANNUALLY, MONTHLY DAILY, LIKE CHLORINE RESIDUALS.

WE DO DAILY. THEY CHECK THE CHLORINE RESIDUAL PLANTS DAILY AND AROUND THE CITY DAILY.

JUST DEPENDS EXACTLY WHAT KIND OF TEST. BUT YES, THERE'S A TON OF TESTING GOING ON ALL THE TIME.

I'M NOT TRYING TO STEER THE CONVERSATION ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. I THINK THAT THIS IS ALL RELATED TO THE SAME MAINTAINING OUR WATER SYSTEM AND MAKING SURE THAT IT'S SAFE FOR THE CITIZENS. I KNOW OUR CURRENT WATER IS SAFE FOR THE CITIZENS, BUT MAN, IT SHOULD BE NICE TO SEE IT BE BETTER.

AND HOPEFULLY THIS IS A GOOD STEP FIRST IN THAT.

YES. AND I MEAN, WE CAN, YOU KNOW, WE CAN GET TO THE POINT WHERE WE'RE, YOU KNOW, POSTING MORE OF THESE RESULTS IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S LIKE WARRANTED OR WANTED. I MEAN, IT'S NO PROBLEM TO DO THAT. YOU KNOW, IT'S REQUIRED BY US TO DO IT ANNUALLY.

IT DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T DO IT MORE OFTEN. YEAH, I THINK IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE IT POSTED MORE REGULARLY.

OKAY. ME AND ME AND JACOB WILL WORK ON SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, DRAFT UP.

SOMETHING GETS ASKED ALL THE TIME. SO. YES, NOT A PROBLEM.

AND BOTH HENDERSON AND JAMISON ARE THE TWO MAIN POINTS FROM BUE WATER RIGHT COMING IN AND THAT'S WHERE IT'S HOUSED. ARE WE MIXING OUR CURRENT WELL WATER? ARE WE STILL KEEPING IT SEPARATE? HENDERSON IS THE ONLY ONE THAT BETWEEN THE TWO IS ALSO ABLE TO RECEIVE WELL WATER.

SO JAMISON RECEIVES ONLY BUE WATER. OKAY. SO ANYTHING IN THAT STORAGE TANK RIGHT NOW IS 100% BUE WATER. SEEING HOW PRETTY IT WAS, DO WHAT? YOU SEEN HOW PRETTY IT WAS? I DIDN'T SAY IT. YOU DID. BUT I GUESS THIS GOES BACK TO JUST WHAT YOU TALKED ABOUT.

THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND TAKING CARE OF YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THAT I'VE REALLY PUSHED.

I'VE MET WITH HECTOR AND THIS OTHER GENTLEMAN ABOUT THESE THINGS.

AND WE WE'VE WE'VE SEEN THOSE EMERGENCIES, WE'VE SEEN SOUTH SIDE, WE'VE SEEN THE SHENANGO.

AND THEN IT HITS US HARD. AND IF WE DON'T MAINTAIN WHAT WE HAVE NOW, I KNOW WE HAVE WELLS.

I KNOW WE NEED TO GO CHECK THEM. BUT WE STILL HAVE TO DO A $2 MILLION TRANSMISSION LINE ONCE WE CHECK THOSE WELLS AT $44,000 APIECE.

WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF WHAT WE GOT UP IN THE AIR, WHAT WE GOT ON THE GROUND.

GREAT, GREAT. YEAH, I SAID THAT. I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M TALKING LIKE THAT.

I DO APPRECIATE THE BEING PROACTIVE ABOUT THIS.

INSTEAD OF US GETTING TO THE POINT THAT WE'RE AT AN EMERGENCY LIKE WE'VE BEEN IN THE PAST.

SO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS DEFINITELY LIKE CHIEF SAID, INFRASTRUCTURE, WHICH IS OUR NUMBER ONE WORD THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IN THIS TOWN FOR THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF, TWO YEARS.

INFRASTRUCTURE, INFRASTRUCTURE. YES. TO THE CITIZENS ALWAYS ASKING, WHY ARE WE NOT FIXING OUR WATER SYSTEM? WELL, THIS IS A BIG PART OF THIS FIXING THE WATER SYSTEM.

IF THE STORAGE TANKS ARE NOT BEING MAINTAINED, THAT'S THE FIRST POINT OF FAILURE.

WE SAW THAT WITH SOUTHSIDE WATER TOWER WHEN IT HAD A LEAK COMING OUT THE BOTTOM OF IT. YES.

WAS GIVE ME A QUICK BEFORE WE TAKE ACTION ON THIS.

THE NORTH SIDE WATER TOWER, THE CURRENT NORTH SIDE WATER TOWER.

DID THAT SORT OF BEEN MAINTAINED? THE WORK HASN'T BEEN COMPLETED.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE ANY. WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF SCHEDULING RIGHT NOW. WE SHOULD BE.

I WOULD SAY WE'D BE STARTING IN THE NEXT 3 TO 4 WEEKS.

WE'RE JUST WE'RE WORKING WITH JACOB RIGHT NOW ON SCHEDULE. I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE LIFESPAN OF THAT.

WHAT'S, WHAT'S THE LIFESPAN OF THAT TOWER RIGHT NOW? YOU KNOW, THE YEAR ON THAT ONE. THAT WAS WHEN IT WAS 1963 WHEN IT WAS BUILT, RIGHT? BUT LIKE YOU SAID, 100 YEAR OLD INFRASTRUCTURE.

SOME PLACES THAT YOU'VE BEEN MAINTAINING, HOW MUCH LONGER ARE WE GOING TO HAVE WITH THAT TOWER? CAN WE KEEP IT GOING AS LONG AS YOU MAINTAIN WE KEEP THAT THING GOING ANOTHER 100 YEARS.

I MEAN, IT'S JUST MAKING SURE WE'RE CATCHING EVERYTHING AND KEEPING IT UP AND TAKING CARE OF IT. IF IT BLOWS A HOLE IN IT AGAIN,

[01:40:03]

IT WILL LAST. BUT IT WAS NEWER THAN THE SOUTH SIDE TOWER.

AND THE SOUTH SIDE TOWER DIDN'T MAKE IT VERY FAR.

YES. I DON'T THINK IT WAS MUCH NEWER. WAS IT? SOUTH SIDE TOWER WAS 1973. YES IT WAS. IT WAS NEWER, RIGHT? YES. BUT WE WERE ALSO FEEDING FLOORING AT SOUTHSIDE TOWER AND WE WEREN'T FEEDING ANYTHING AT NORTHSIDE. YEAH.

GOOD TO KNOW. CHLORINE WILL EAT IT UP. YEAH. ANYTIME THAT HAPPENS, ADDING A MIXER, ADDING POWER EVENTS, THINGS LIKE THAT ARE GOING TO HELP THE TANK. IF YOU WOULD HAVE HAD ALL THAT ON THAT TANK, YOU PROBABLY STILL HAVE IT.

AND I ASSUME, I ASSUME THESE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE GOING TO BE MADE TOO, RIGHT? YES, YES. AS WE GO THROUGH, IF WE SEE SOMETHING THAT WE RECOMMEND, AFTER SOME TIME, WE WILL SIT BACK DOWN AND SAY, HEY, WE NEED TO DISCUSS THIS, BUT VW IS FEEDING CHLORINATED WATER TO US, SO WE DON'T SEE A LOT OF IN THE TANKS THAT WE LOOK AT. WE DON'T SEE A LOT OF METAL LOSS IN THE TOP HEAD SPACE.

AND FOR AS OLD AS THE COATING IS, IF THERE WAS A LOT OF CHLORINE GASES AND STUFF IN THERE AND THEY'RE NOT GETTING OUT, I WOULD SEE A LOT MORE METAL LOSS OR RUSTING STUFF GOING ON INSIDE THE INTERIOR OF THAT TANK, AND WE DIDN'T SEE IT. SO RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT AN ISSUE.

WHICH TANK? NORTHSIDE AND JAMES. SO YOU JUST SHOW ME PICTURES OF JAMESON WITH ALL THE PITTING FROM.

THAT'S FROM THE WASHHOUSE AND STUFF. THE HEAD SPACE ABOVE THE WATER.

TYPICALLY, THAT'S THE AREA THAT GETS ATE UP THE MOST ON THE INSIDE OF THE TANK.

AND IT'S BECAUSE OF THOSE GASES NOT ABLE TO GET OUT.

SO THEREFORE WE PUT A POWER. BIT ON THE TANK.

WHAT IT DOES IS IT BLOWS FRESH AIR IN. AND WE ADD ADDITIONAL VENTS ON TOP SO THE AIR CAN GET OUT.

SO WE'RE PUSHING THE GASES OUT. WE DON'T NEED THAT ON JAMESON RIGHT NOW.

THAT'S NOT TO SAY IF SOMETHING CHANGES WITH CHEMICAL USES FROM BWA OR SOMETHING, WE MIGHT NEED TO THINK ABOUT IT IN THE FUTURE.

BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT'S NECESSARY.

BUT IF IT IS SOMETHING WE START TO SEE AND IT'S A CONCERN, I COME BACK, SIT DOWN WITH THE GUYS AND WE TALK ABOUT IT.

OKAY. I THINK ALL OF OUR QUESTIONS ARE JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY'S ON THE SAME PAGE HERE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE WE'RE GETTING WE'RE GETTING INVOLVED IN A, IN A MAINTENANCE CONTRACT, AND IT HASN'T BEEN MY EXPERIENCE.

WHERE WHERE THIS HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT IS THAT HAS TRULY BEEN BENEFICIAL.

YOU YOU PROBABLY KNOW YOU'RE IN THE BUSINESS.

I DON'T, I DON'T RUN INTO A WHOLE LOT. OF BENEVOLENT CORPORATIONS AT LEAST IN THE, IN THE BUSINESS THAT I'M IN.

AND AND. WE JUST DON'T WANT TO BE IN THAT SITUATION.

SO AGAIN, YOU'RE IN CONTROL OF THE CONTRACT. YOU DECIDE THIS IS NOT FOR YOU.

YOU CANCEL. THAT'S RIGHT. YOU'RE NOT LOGGED IN.

THE CANCELLATION POLICY, I THINK INSIDE THE CONTRACT IS 90 DAYS WITHIN ANNIVERSARY DATE.

SO AS LONG AS YOU NOTIFY US 90 DAYS BEFORE ANNIVERSARY DATE, YOU'RE OUT.

YOU'RE DONE WITH THIS. UNDERSTAND THIS THIS QUESTION TO ANY OF THAT.

THIS IS THIS IS THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME YOU'VE HEARD THIS COMING FROM THIS SIDE OF THE TABLE.

AND WE BOTH KNOW THAT. I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW YOU DO HAVE A WAY OUT.

YOU HAVE A WAY OUT. AND IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW WE OPERATE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR OVER AT.

I THINK, I THINK MY, I THINK MY, I THINK MY MAIN CONCERN IS IN THIS SITUATION, IT'S MAKING SURE THAT YOU AND I KNOW YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING, BUT MAKING SURE THAT YOU GUYS ARE INSPECTING THESE THOROUGHLY SO THAT YOU'RE CATCHING STUFF AHEAD OF TIME, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW WE RUN INTO AN ISSUE LATER WHERE YOU'RE LIKE, OH, WELL, YOU KNOW, WE MISSED THIS CODING ISSUE THAT WAS PREEXISTING CONDITION.

AND, AND WE GOT TO REPLACE, YOU KNOW, A THIRD OF THE FLOOR OF THIS THING.

AGAIN, THAT HAPPENS. THAT'S ON ME, NOT ON YOU.

AND ANOTHER GOOD POINT TO MAKE ON THAT TOO, IS LIKE, WOULD THEY COME IN HERE AND DO THEIR WASH OUTS OR THEIR INSPECTIONS AND ALL THAT? IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE NOT INVOLVED OR WE'RE NOT THERE. I MEAN, JACOB OR SOMEBODY ON HIS TEAM, THEY'RE PRESIDENT. THEY'RE, THEY'RE THEY'RE WATCHING THESE THINGS UNFOLD. THEY'RE SEEING IT FOR THEMSELVES. WELL, THAT'S ANOTHER THING I WAS GOING TO ASK WHEN YOU GUYS ARE INSPECTING THE, THE, THE FLOORS OF SOME OF THE GROUND TANKS I'M GOING TO GUESS YOU'RE SCANNING THEM.

WE'RE NOT SCANNING. WE'RE JUST KIND OF LOOKING AND SEEING WHAT KIND OF LOSS WE HAVE ON THE BOTTOM.

ON JAMESON, MOST LIKELY WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO CUT SOME OF THOSE PITS OUT AND PUT SOME NEW METAL PLATE IN.

AND I WAS ACTUALLY ON SITE FOR THE WASHOUT FOR JAMESON.

SO AND I TRY TO BE ON SITE WHEN I CAN. AND ALSO ALL THE INSPECTION REPORTS THAT COME THROUGH,

[01:45:02]

I SEEM TO. REAL QUICK QUESTION. WHEN YOU DO THE WASH OUT OF JAMESON, YOU.

HAVE YOU ALREADY DONE THAT? IT'S ALREADY DONE. THE PICTURES WERE FROM WHEN WE DID IT.

OKAY, JUST A QUESTION. WHEN WE WHEN WE CLEAR OUT AND GO INTO ONE OF THOSE TANKS TO CLEAN IT, WHAT WHAT DOES THAT DO TO OUR CAPACITY AT THAT GIVEN TIME, IT'S USUALLY WITH A WASHOUT.

IT'S A ONE DAY EVENT, SO WE'LL BE IMPACTED FOR 2 TO 3 DAYS.

ESPECIALLY WITH THE BIGGER TANKS IN GRINDING IT DOWN.

BUT WE'LL, WE ACCOUNT FOR THAT BY PUTTING MORE PUMPS ONLINE AT OUR OTHER PLANTS TO MAKE UP FOR THE LACK OF THAT PLANT.

SO WE'RE NOT AT RISK ANYWAY FOR FIRE SUPPRESSION OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT ANYWHERE ELSE.

NO, NO, WE'RE, WE'RE WELL AHEAD ON OUR ON OUR BOOST PUMP CAPACITY.

SO WE CAN WE CAN KEEP AHEAD OF IT. AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE THE TANK DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF JULY OR AUGUST.

THANK YOU. WE, WE KNOW THAT'S WHY WE'RE TRYING TO JUMP ON NORTH SIDE AND GET THIS DONE BEFORE THE HOT MONTHS GET HERE.

OKAY. SO WE'RE TRYING TO GET THAT TANK DONE. JAMESON.

IF WE AGREE ON THAT, THAT'LL HAPPEN IN THE FALL OR IN THE WINTER.

OKAY. YOU WANT US TO DO IT IN AUGUST? I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO DO THAT.

NO. COUNCIL. ANY MORE QUESTIONS? SO? SO THE FOUR MONTHS BETWEEN WHEN WE SIGNED THE CONTRACT AND NOW.

AND THE REASON FOR NOT STARTING THE WORK WAS BECAUSE OF THE DRAINING AND INSPECTING AND EVERYTHING AND PERMITS.

OKAY, WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR PERMITS FROM T-C-E-Q THAT CAN TAKE 90 TO 120 DAYS.

OKAY. SO IF I BELIEVE WE AGREE ON OUR SIDE IN OCTOBER.

CORRECT. WE JUST GOT THE PERMITS IN TWO WEEKS AGO AND WE HAVE ALL THE EQUIPMENT TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING.

SO IT'S T-C-E-Q. THAT'S WHO WE'RE WAITING ON.

IT'S NOT US. WE WOULD LOVE TO GET IN HERE AND START, BUT WE WE TAKE CARE OF ALL THE PERMIT FILING.

WE DO THAT FOR YOU GUYS. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING.

WE SUBMIT EVERYTHING AND WE TAKE CARE OF THAT.

AND THAT'S TO PROTECT US AND YOU. ALL RIGHT. SO THEN THEN IF IT'S ABOUT THE SAME TIME, THAT WILL PUT US IN THE HOT MONTHS.

BUT THEN YOU'LL WAIT. OKAY. WE ARE NOT GOING TO DO IT NOW.

ONE THING IS FIRST PAYMENT IS DUE WITHIN 90 DAYS OF SIGNATURE.

AND THAT'S WE'RE ORDERING PARTS, WE'RE GETTING THE MIXER, WE'RE GETTING EVERYTHING.

WE'RE GETTING READY TO GO. SO AND WE'RE SPREADING THE COST.

SO REALLY, YOUR FIRST PAYMENT IS REALLY JUST KIND OF TAKING CARE OF THE PICTURE AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS AFTERWARDS.

THANKS. SO I GUESS MY QUESTION IS HERE. WHAT? LISTEN, WHAT DO YOU GOT? AND THIS IS THIS IS ODD FOR ME BECAUSE IT IT IS, IT IS MY I LOOK TO FIND FAULT IN JUST ABOUT ANYTHING.

YOU WITH ME? JOHN WRIGHT. I'M WITH YOU BECAUSE NORMALLY THIS IS IT'S HARD TO GO INTO A MAINTENANCE CONTRACT, YOU KNOW, FOR SOMETHING LONG TERM OR WHATEVER.

NORMALLY YOU PAY THE I DON'T LIKE THIS KIND OF STUFF AND I NORMALLY VEER AWAY FROM IT, BUT IT ALMOST SELLS ITSELF.

I MEAN, IT DOES SELL ITSELF. AND SO. IF WE BUILD ANOTHER TANK IN THE FUTURE, CAN WE BUY A MAINTENANCE CONTRACT WITH WHEN WE BUILD THE TANK? YES. IF YOU BUILD A NEW TANK, YOU CAN PUT IT ON A MAINTENANCE PROGRAM FROM DAY ONE, AND THEN YOU'RE ONLY PAYING YOUR BASE FEE.

SO YOU'D ONLY BE PAYING $10,000 A YEAR. AND THAT'S TAKING CARE OF ALL YOUR FUTURE WORK.

AND I'LL TELL YOU, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE'VE GONE BACK AND LOOKED THROUGH THROUGH SOME OF THE REPAIR COSTS TO THESE TANKS OR WE'VE GOTTEN OURSELVES INTO A SITUATION WHERE THEY'RE TOO FAR GONE, THE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE'RE HAVING TO SPEND TO PULL OURSELVES OUT OF THAT SITUATION.

I MEAN, WHAT YOU GUYS ARE I MEAN, WHAT THEY'RE CHARGING IS, IS WHAT WE SHOULD BE SPENDING EVERY MONTH TO, TO, TO KEEP THE, TO KEEP THESE ASSETS UP. AND SO YOU'RE BASICALLY JUST COMING TO US AND TELLING US TO DO WHAT WE SHOULD ALREADY BE DOING.

SO IT MAKES IT EASY. DON'T MAKE IT. THAT'S RULE NUMBER ONE, RIGHT? DON'T MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE TO GIVE YOU MONEY. RIGHT. SO IF I CAN MAKE IT EASIER, LET ME KNOW.

I TRIED TO BEAT THIS, PICK THIS THING APART EVERY WHICH WAY I COULD.

AND I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO IT. MAYOR I MEAN.

SO I'LL MAKE A I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE THE MAINTENANCE CONTRACT.

IN THE AMOUNT OF $56,726. SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN SARTIN, A SECOND BY COUNCILMAN SMITH TO APPROVE THE CONTRACT WITH UTILITY SERVICE COMPANY INC.

IN THE AMOUNT OF $56,706. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION?

[01:50:07]

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

THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.

ITEM NUMBER EIGHT UPDATE DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON FIRE HYDRANTS.

[8. Update, discussion and possible action on fire hydrants. ]

STILL WATER. JUST SHIFTING GEARS. SO YES I THINK THERE WAS A PREVIOUS COUNCIL MEETING WAS REQUESTED.

WE COME BACK WITH SOME HYDROGEN UPDATES. WE'VE DONE THIS PREVIOUSLY.

BUT JUST GOING TO RUN THROUGH THIS REAL QUICK AND ONCE I GET THROUGH THIS HYDRANT SUMMARY SECTION, ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU WANT BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE.

SO IN TOTAL, AFTER THIS LAST SURVEY, WE DID, YOU KNOW, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF THESE SUBDIVISIONS AND THESE DEVELOPMENTS THAT HAVE GROWN.

AND SO NOW WE'RE AT 820 HYDRANTS TOTAL. AND OF THOSE, THERE'S ONLY 25 OF THEM THAT ARE OUT OF SERVICE CURRENTLY.

THERE'S ALSO SOME VARIOUS MINOR ISSUES WITH YOU KNOW, MANY OTHER MINOR ISSUES THAT DON'T MAKE IT INOPERABLE.

THEY MIGHT MAKE OPERATION DIFFICULT AND, YOU KNOW, THEY MIGHT NOT BE ESTHETICALLY PLEASING IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, PAINT JOB ON THEM, THOSE KIND OF THINGS. BUT OVERALL, THERE'S ONLY 25 THAT HAVE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM THAT, YOU KNOW, MAKE IT INOPERABLE. YOU KNOW, AS YOU CAN SEE IN SOME OF THE EARLY YEARS, WE DIDN'T QUITE HAVE ENOUGH BUDGET, BUDGETARY NUMBER THERE TO ACTUALLY COVER SURVEYS, REPAIRS, ALL THOSE KIND OF THINGS.

BUT THIS IS NOW OUR FOURTH FISCAL YEAR WITH ACTUALLY A FULL HYDRANT MAINTENANCE PROGRAM WHERE WE'RE DOING A SURVEY.

WE'RE GOING IN AND WE'RE USING THE REST OF THE FUNDING TO REPLACE REPAIR HYDRANTS, ALL THOSE KIND OF THINGS.

SO THIS IS OUR FOURTH TIME, FOURTH FISCAL YEAR DOING THIS.

AND IN THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'VE WE'VE ACTUALLY PUT 41 HYDRANTS BACK IN SERVICE AND WE'VE ALSO REPAIRED VARIOUS OTHER REPAIRS ON 48 HYDRANTS.

SO IN TOTAL, WE'VE DONE SOMETHING TO 89 HYDRANTS ALL ACROSS THE BOARD JUST IN THESE PAST FOUR FISCAL YEARS.

SO THAT'S ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, REALLY GREAT. OVERALL, WHAT WE'VE DONE WITH THIS HYDRANT MAINTENANCE PROGRAM YOU KNOW, AND SO WE JUST PLAN ON CONTINUING ON YOU KNOW, FOLLOWING THAT SAME PATH, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY IN THE FUTURE WE CAN ADD SOME MORE FUNDING TO THAT. BUT AS OF NOW, WE'RE JUST STAYING THE COURSE AND CONTINUING WITH OUR SURVEYS.

I WILL SAY THAT THIS NEXT FISCAL YEAR, WE MAY END UP, YOU KNOW, IN A BETTER SPOT.

WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

HOPEFULLY THEY CAN ASSIST US IN THAT FLOW TESTING AND SURVEY.

SO WE'RE SEEING WHAT KIND OF CAPACITY THEY HAVE TO ACTUALLY PERFORM THE WORK.

YOU KNOW, SO ONCE WE GET TO THAT POINT WHERE WE FIGURE OUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT, WE'LL COME BACK TO YOU ALL AND TALK ABOUT IT AGAIN.

BUT THAT'S IT ON THAT. THAT'S ALL I'M GOING TO SAY ON THE HYDRANT SUMMARY. UNLESS ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS OR WANTS TO TALK ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE. LET'S TALK REAL QUICK ABOUT FUNDING FOR 2025. 26 FISCAL YEAR. SO JUST SUM IT UP.

YOU HAVE ZERO FUNDING. NO, WE HAD THE SAME AS WE HAD IN THE PREVIOUS YEARS, WHICH WAS $30,000.

YOU HAVE 30,000 THIS YEAR. YOU'VE ALREADY SPENT IT.

WE HAVE SPENT AROUND ALMOST 15,000 TO DO THE SURVEY, WHICH IS THEM FLUSHING FLOW TESTING ALL THE HYDRANTS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF TOWN.

YOU HAD 25 STILL OUT, AND THE REMAINING 15 IS WHAT WE'LL USE TO DO REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE ON HYDRANTS.

HOW OFTEN ARE YOU FLUSHING ALL YOUR HYDRANTS? EVERY TWO YEARS. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM GETS FLUSHED AND FLOW TESTED BECAUSE WE'RE ONLY ABLE TO DO HALF OF IT IF WE DID THE FULL THE FULL CITY IN ONE YEAR, THAT'D BE APPROXIMATELY $30,000, AND WE WOULDN'T HAVE ANY FUNDING TO ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING WITH IT WITH THE INFORMATION.

SO WE OPTED TO DO HALF EVERY OTHER YEAR. WE SHOULD BE DOING THEM EVERY YEAR.

IT'S THE LOGICAL THING TO DO, BUT HOPEFULLY THAT'S WHAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO ASSIST US WITH.

AND THEN NOT ONLY WILL IT COVER GETTING ALL OF THEM TESTED IN ONE YEAR, BUT WE'LL ALSO HAVE EXTRA FUNDING TO ACTUALLY GO IN AND REPAIR, MAKE MORE REPAIRS, REPLACEMENTS, WHATEVER THE NEED IS.

OKAY. IS 30 ENOUGH? YEAH. THERE WE GO. IT DEPENDS HOW FAR, HOW FAST? HOW FAST DO YOU WANT TO GET ALL THIS DONE? RIGHT? I MEAN, THIS IS A HIGH MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. WE'RE ALWAYS GOING TO HAVE HYDRANTS GOING OUT OF SERVICE. SO THE HYDROGEN, A HYDROGEN MAINTENANCE PROGRAM IS ALWAYS GOING TO HAVE TO EXIST IN SOME CAPACITY. BUT IF YOU WANT IT, FOR INSTANCE, IF YOU WANTED TO GET ALL 25 OF THESE THAT ARE OUT OF SERVICE BACK IN SERVICE, I'M PRETTY SURE MAJORITY OF THEM PROBABLY NEED A FULL REPLACEMENT.

YOU KNOW, FULL REPLACEMENT CAN RUN ANYWHERE FROM 6 TO $8000, YOU KNOW, SO JUST PUT THAT IN PERSPECTIVE.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S HOW MUCH FUNDING YOU'D NEED TO, TO GET ALL OF THEM REPLACED AS OF THIS YEAR.

YOU KNOW, BUT FOR US, WE'VE JUST HAD 30,000 PAST FEW YEARS AND WE'RE GOING THROUGH.

SO THE 15 YOU HAVE LEFT WILL ONLY FIX TWO. APPROXIMATELY.

YES. BUT WHAT WE CAN DO ALSO IS SOME OF THEM DON'T NEED A FULL REPLACEMENT, RIGHT? THEY MAY JUST NEED ALL THE GUTS OUT OF THEM REPLACED. THERE MAY BE OTHER KIND OF THINGS. SO WE CAN BUY THE KITS. WE CAN DO THOSE PORTIONS OURSELVES. SO TO,

[01:55:01]

BUT CAN WE PUT MORE IN OPERATION? YES. YOU JUST TOLD ME THAT YOU THOUGHT MOST OF THOSE 25 WERE PROBABLY FULL REPLACEMENTS.

I WOULD. YES, MOST OF THEM ARE. BUT I THINK THERE'S PROBABLY ANYWHERE FROM 5 TO 8 THAT WON'T NEED TO BE FULL REPLACEMENTS.

BUT I DON'T THINK I HAVE THAT SHEET IN HERE THAT SAYS WHICH ONES THAT WE'VE LOOKED AT ALREADY FOR REPLACEMENT OR NOT.

BUT YEP. OKAY. WHAT'S THE OLDEST ONE? HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN OUT? THE OLDEST. THE ONE THAT'S BEEN OUT OF SERVICE THE LONGEST. WE HAVE A WORK ORDER IN FOR WAS ACTUALLY ON THE REPORT BEFORE IT WAS ON A CAHILL.

I BELIEVE THAT'S THE ONE THAT HAS BEEN OUT OF THE SERVICE. DO WE HAVE A WORK ORDER FOR. IT'S BEEN OUT OF SERVICE THE LONGEST. NOW, IF THERE'S ONE THAT'S BEEN TAGGED OUT LONGER THAN THAT, I DON'T HAVE THAT INFO PRIOR TO WORK.

ORDER SYSTEM. HOW LONG HAS THE CAHILL ABOUT FOUR YEARS NOW.

YES. AND WHY? SO WHEN WE LIKE, FOR INSTANCE, LIKE LAST YEAR, I THINK WAS IT 2 OR 3? WE HAD HIT LAST YEAR OR TWO. WE HAD THREE HIT LAST YEAR.

AND OUT OF THOSE THREE, THEY WERE IN AREAS WHERE IF WE LEFT THAT HYDRANT OUT OF SERVICE, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE ANY FIRE PROTECTION NEARBY.

SO CAHILL HAS ONE, I BELIEVE THERE'S ONE ON THE CORNER THERE ON A SHANKS, AND I BELIEVE THERE'S ONE ON THE VERY END OF THE ROAD.

SO IT'S THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE THAT'S OUT. SO YOU STILL HAVE THAT FIRE COVERAGE THERE.

SO NOT TO SAY THAT IT DOESN'T MATTER, BUT THERE'S OTHER ONES THAT ARE IN SOME MORE CRITICAL AREAS THAT WITHOUT IT THERE IS COVERAGE.

YOU HAVE YES, YOU HAVE A LONGER FOOTAGE OF WITHOUT A FIRE.

AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS AWARE OF THAT AND THEY HAVE SUFFICIENT HOSE IF A FIRE COMES.

SO YES, SO THEY'RE AWARE ANYTIME WE HAVE EXTRA HYDRANTS GO OUT, THEY HAVE ALL THAT INFORMATION.

YES. I FEEL LIKE THIS AGENDA ITEM IS LIKE A SHOTGUN APPROACH.

WE'VE GOT A LOT OF DIFFERENT ISSUES TO TALK ABOUT THROUGH HERE.

ONE, THE FIRE HYDRANT, FIRE HYDRANT MAINTENANCE PROGRAM, HOW WE GET THESE 25 BACK IN SERVICE AND HOW LONG HAVE THEY BEEN OUT? FUNDING APPROPRIATELY. BUT THEN THERE'S ALSO THE OTHER SECTION WHERE THIS IS WHAT KIND OF PROMPTED THIS WAS THE FIRE THAT HAPPENED ON RIGHT AROUND NEW YEAR'S AND IT WAS ON MIMOSA, I BELIEVE.

AND WE ALMOST RAN OUT OF LINE TO GET TO IT. YES.

AND THAT WAS GOING TO BE THE NEXT SECTION. I WAS GOING TO DISCUSS THAT IN THE NEXT SECTION. OKAY. SO I JUST WANTED TO GET ANY QUESTIONS ANSWERED IN THAT FIRST, JUST GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT HYDRANTS, THE PROGRAM, HOW MANY WE HAVE OUT OF SERVICE, THOSE KIND OF THINGS. WHO'S IN CHARGE OF THIS PROGRAM? THERE'S A FEW OF US WHO HAVE OUR HANDS IN IT, BUT OF COURSE, ME. I'LL TAKE ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. YES.

WE NEED TO ASSIGN THIS SOMEBODY HECTOR TO MANAGE AND STAY ON TOP OF IT.

I KNOW IT'S IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT JUST HAS TO BE DONE.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE GET BUSY AND OTHER THINGS, BUT WE REALLY NEED TO JUST ASSIGN SOMEBODY AND GET MOVING AND, AND GET SOME OF THESE BACK ONLINE. AND LET'S START MOVING THE BALL FORWARD ON THESE.

OKAY, WE'LL START WORKING ON WHAT WE CAN WHAT WE CAN DO.

WHAT IT WOULD COST TO GET ALL 25 OF THESE BACK IN SERVICE.

YEAH. AND IF YOU SAID THERE MIGHT BE FIVE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN GET BACK IN SERVICE.

THROUGH PARTS OR WHATEVER. IT'D BE NICE TO SEE.

I MEAN, YOU HAVE YOUR BUDGET JUST COME TO US AND TELL US, YOU KNOW, HEY, THIS IS WHAT MY PLAN IS, IS WHAT I'M GOING TO DO. SUZY, I'M SURE, CAN FIND YOU SOME MORE MONEY.

IF YOU DEDICATE A PERSON TO THIS. IS IT A FULL TIME JOB FOR FLUSHING EVERY HYDRANT? NO. FOR DATA. I WOULD SAY NO. NOT A FULL TIME JOB.

JUST BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE. SO LIKE, SOMEONE ELSE IS DOING THE SURVEY FOR US, RIGHT? SO THEY'RE DOING THE REALLY TIME CONSUMING, EXTENSIVE PART OF IT.

I THINK FOR US, THE MAIN THING IS THE COST OF, YOU KNOW, WE'VE, IT'S GONE SO LONG WHERE WE'VE DONE A LOT OF MAINTENANCE ON OUR HYDRANTS.

DID WE HAVE A TON OF THEM THAT WERE OUT OF SERVICE? RIGHT. LIKE, I THINK WE'VE ACTUALLY HAD TO PHYSICALLY REPLACE, I THINK 17 OR 19 OF THEM.

WE'VE ACTUALLY JUST HAD TO THEY WERE FULL REPLACEMENTS. THERE WAS NOTHING WE COULD DO WITH THEM OUT OF THE 41 THAT WE PUT BACK IN SERVICE AND THE OTHER ONES WE WERE ABLE TO ACTUALLY REPAIR. AND SO YOU KNOW, I WOULD SAY GOSH, I JUST LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT FULL TIME PERSON.

NOT A FULL TIME. YES, YES. SO I WOULD SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE MOST EXTENSIVE PART OF IT IS REPLACING THEM.

SO IF WE'RE GOING TO HIRE A CONTRACTOR TO DO THAT, THEN DEFINITELY DON'T NEED A FULL TIME PERSON FOR IT AGAIN, OR SOMEBODY PERFORMING THE SURVEY FOR US. EVEN IF ANGLETON FIRE DEPARTMENT BEGINS ASSISTING US WITH IT AGAIN, THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE NOT GOING TO PHYSICALLY DO. I WOULD SAY IT'S DEFINITELY JUST A PART TIME THING FOR SOMEBODY TO KIND OF POINT AND SHOOT, SAY, HEY, WE HAVE THIS LIST THAT WE'RE OUT OF SERVICE. LET'S ALLOCATE THE FUNDING FOR THIS TO DO THIS MANY AND THEN CHOOSE WHICH ONES WE'RE GOING TO DO BASED ON CRITICALITY.

AND DO YOU HAVE THE PERSONNEL FOR THAT? YES. BUT JOB YOU.

LIKE I SAID, IT'S A MIX OF ALL OF US. I MEAN, JACOB'S ACTUALLY PUT TOGETHER A LOT OF THIS INFORMATION,

[02:00:04]

SO AGAIN, WE ALL WE ALL WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM.

YOU HAVE ONE GET IT DONE DATABASE ONE, SPREADSHEET ONE.

YES. AND THESE ARE THESE GATHERS IN THE SAME PLACE.

SO LIKE WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY ABOUT TO TALK ABOUT RIGHT NOW DIDN'T EXIST. I MEAN, WE, WE CREATED ALL THESE THINGS. WE ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY SAT DOWN, WENT THROUGH THE MAP WHERE OUR BATTERY IS AT.

JACOB FOUND A WAY TO MANIPULATE THE GIS MAP WHERE IT SHOWS THE FOOTAGE OF, YOU KNOW, IN BETWEEN AREAS THAT WERE MISSING FIRE HYDRANT COVERAGE.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE KIND OF WENT OFF OF THAT YOU KNOW, AND SO GETTING INTO THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE OUR INSUFFICIENT FLOW AREAS.

YOU KNOW, WE SPECIFICALLY EVALUATED THE MIMOSA GARDENIA AREA YOU KNOW, AND IT'S LOOKING AT IT YOU KNOW, SO THE, THE ISSUE THERE IS, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, HOLLY STREET.

THE REASON IT DOESN'T HAVE A HYDRANT IS A TWO INCH WATER LINE THAT RUNS ALL THE WAY AROUND AND MEETS UP WITH GARDENIA.

I DON'T THINK IT'S ON THERE. OKAY. YES. SCROLL UP.

SCROLL DOWN PLEASE. I HAD A FEELING THAT WAS WHAT WAS GOING TO COME BACK TO ME.

KEEP GOING. SHOULD BE THE AFTER THIS. IS THAT.

KEEP GOING. IS IT THE NEXT ONE? NO. IT'S NOT OKAY.

BUT YES. SO ON GARDENIA STREET, THERE'S A FROM WHERE IT STARTS AT WALKER ALL THE WAY BACK AROUND UNTIL IT MEETS THAT BACK STREET, WHICH I BELIEVE IS A GARDENIA. CORRECT. SO IT RUNS DOWN HOLLY ALL THE WAY TO GARDENIA.

AND WE HAVE AN EIGHT INCH WATER LINE THAT COMES FROM THE BACK EASEMENT THERE THAT RUNS DOWN A CATALPA.

SO YOUR YOUR BIG LINE IS DOWN CATALPA. YOU HAVE SMALL LINES COMING DOWN, MIMOSA, SMALL LINE COMING DOWN.

YES. SO DOWN THE MIDDLE STREET THERE IS WHERE YOU HAVE YOUR LARGE WATER LINE RUNNING, AND THEN YOU HAVE SMALL TWO INCH WATER LINES GOING ALL THE WAY AROUND TO THE BACK OF THE LOOP. SO THAT'S WHY THERE'S NO FIRE HYDRANT COVERAGE ON.

YOU KNOW, MIMOSA OR HOLLY STREET. SO YOU HAVE ONE FIRE HYDRANT THERE IN THE MIDDLE.

ABOUT WHERE THAT WHERE THE MARKERS AT. YOU HAVE FIRE HYDRANT THERE, I BELIEVE.

AND THEN YOU HAVE ANOTHER ONE DOWN CATALPA, AND THEN AT THE END AND YOU HAVE THEM ON THE CORNERS ALONG WALKER STREET BECAUSE THERE'S A LARGE WATER LINE ON WALKER STREET.

AND SO IN ORDER TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM WE, YOU KNOW, JUST MEASURED OUT ON GIS, APPROXIMATELY 2900FT OF EIGHT INCH PVC WATER LINE WOULD NEED TO BE INSTALLED YOU KNOW, AND ALSO FOR FIRE HYDRANTS AND VALVES AND ALL THOSE OTHER THINGS WHICH WE APPROXIMATE A COST AT ABOUT $157,000. AND THAT'S JUST THE PERFECT AREA. OR, YOU KNOW, THAT WE WERE WHERE THESE UNDERSIZED LINES ARE. BUT YOU KNOW, IF YOU, IF YOU LOOK AT THE SPREADSHEETS THAT AGAIN, JACOB HAD COME UP WITH, BUT WE LOOKED AT ALL THESE AREAS. ONE SIDE IS THE NORTH SIDE, THE OTHER IS THE SOUTH SIDE.

THESE AREAS IN SIMILAR SITUATIONS. SOME OF THEM NEED YOU KNOW, SOME OF THEM AREN'T AS EXTENSIVE IN COST BECAUSE THEY JUST MAY BE MISSING A HYDRANT.

BUT THE ONES THAT HAVE, YOU KNOW, ANYWHERE FROM 60,000 PLUS, MOST LIKELY WHAT IT IS, IS A SMALL WATER LINE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

AND SO WE PUT, YOU KNOW, DISTANCE BETWEEN THOSE HYDRANTS IN THE NEAREST HYDRANT AND TOTAL COST.

AND SO WHAT WE'VE COME UP WITH A NUMBER OF APPROXIMATELY $5.9 MILLION TO YOU KNOW, CORRECT.

ALL THOSE ISSUES THAT DON'T HAVE PROPER FIRE PROTECTION.

AND I WILL SAY A LOT OF THESE TWO STEMMED FROM LIKE A, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE IN A LOT OF OLDER NEIGHBORHOODS AND, YOU KNOW, SO BACK IN, YOU KNOW, IN THESE NEIGHBORHOODS WERE BUILT, YOU KNOW, THESE TYPE OF, YOU KNOW, FIRE HYDRANT REQUIREMENTS BEING A CERTAIN DISTANCE AND THE SIZING OF LINES AND HOW MANY, YOU KNOW, CONNECTIONS YOU CAN HAVE ON THESE SIZE LINES WEARING TKC REQUIREMENTS AT THE TIME.

AND SO THEY'RE JUST, YOU KNOW, AT THE IN THESE AREAS, WE'RE JUST, YOU KNOW, FACING WHERE WE HAVE TO UPGRADE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE IN CERTAIN AREAS.

IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON THEME. YES. YOU CAN TAKE THE ONE ON SEVEN 60 MUNSON PLACE OFF THERE.

AND ALSO, IF ANY OF Y'ALL WANT TO SEE THE REPORT THAT THEY RAN IN JANUARY OF 2025, IF YOU GO TO OUR AGENDA FOR APRIL 22ND OF 2025, IT'LL SHOW THE ENTIRE REPORT. SO ALL THE OUT OF SERVICE HYDRANTS ARE IDENTIFIED, THE DIRTY FLOW LOCATIONS, BOND REPAIRS. WE COULD PROBABLY CREATE A LINK TO THOSE SURVEYS AS WELL IF THAT'S DESIRED. WE CAN HAVE THAT AS WELL.

JUST POSTED OUT THERE WITH THE PUBLIC CAN SEE THOSE THINGS TOO.

THAT WOULD BE GREAT. THANK YOU. OKAY, I'LL ADD THAT WITH THE WATER QUALITY STUFF.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE WOULD YOU RECOMMEND? IF YOU KNEW THERE WAS ONE GLARING AREA THAT WE NEED MORE FIRE SUPPRESSION.

[02:05:05]

CORRECT. I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO FIND PRETTY, QUITE A FEW AREAS, MULTIPLE AREAS.

I MEAN, I CAN'T, I CAN'T SAY I DIDN'T LOOK AT IT IN THAT MANNER, BUT I MEAN, JUST GOING THROUGH THE LIST, I MEAN, MOST OF THESE ARE ALL NEIGHBORHOODS. AND THEN IF YOU LOOK AT DISTANCE TO THE CLOSEST HYDRANT, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, LIKE WHEN YOU LOOK AT SOMETHING LIKE THE 507 BLOCK OF THE ROAD, THIS ONE I REMEMBER, IT'S REALLY CLOSE TO THOSE RAILROAD TRACKS.

ONCE YOU GET PAST THE HOUSTON DALLAS AREA, YOU KNOW, SO FOR INSTANCE, FOR THE OTHERS, I THINK 1 OR 2 HOMES IN BETWEEN THERE WHERE THAT FIRE HYDRANT WOULD COVER. BUT THEN YOU GO TO AN AREA LIKE LET ME SEE.

WELL, THE ONE WE'RE DISCUSSING NOW, RIGHT? I MEAN, HOW MANY HOMES THEY'RE TECHNICALLY UNCOVERED WITHOUT FIRE PROTECTION, YOU KNOW? SO I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO FIND IN HERE, THAT YOU'RE GOING TO FIND MULTIPLE AREAS THAT YOU REALLY CAN'T SAY ONE'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE OTHER JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, MULTIPLE HOMES THAT DON'T HAVE A HYDRANT WITHIN 500FT OF THEM.

WELL, AND I THINK THIS, I THINK THIS WHOLE THING IS, IS PART OF A MUCH LONGER DISCUSSION AND PLANNING.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAD ANYTHING ELSE AS IT RELATES TO THIS, JOHN, BECAUSE THIS IS, THIS IS A PRETTY, PRETTY BIG THING TO BITE OFF ON. YEAH. BUT NOW WE KNOW.

YES. AND IF YOU WANT TO US TO GO A LITTLE MORE EXTENSIVELY INTO THIS OR ANYTHING, WE DEFINITELY CAN.

I THINK THE I THINK THE GROUNDWORK HAS BEEN LAID AT THIS POINT.

I THINK MAYBE IF YOU WANTED TO WORK WITH MAYBE SOME PRIORITY, MAYBE WITH, WITH WITHIN YOUR GROUP FIRE DEPARTMENT, WHAT DO YOU THINK? AND JUST SEE, YOU KNOW, PUT YOUR HEADS TOGETHER AND SEE WHAT YOU GUYS THINK AS FAR AS PRIORITIZATION, YOU MAY COME UP WITH A COUPLE OF THESE THAT ARE LIKE, HEY, YOU KNOW, THIS IS, THIS IS ONE THAT WE'VE HAD AN ISSUE WITH PRIOR AND WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PRETTY QUICKLY. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE 30 K THAT, THAT YOU'RE ALLOCATED FOR A HYDRANT MAINTENANCE, RIGHT? YES. IT DOESN'T AND I COULD BE WRONG. LET'S, LET'S ASSUME THAT WE ALLOCATED THE FUNDS TO GET ON TOP OF THIS, OR LET'S SAY THAT WE'RE ALREADY AT THAT POINT RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE DONE. EVERYTHING'S BEEN DONE. THAT MEANS WE'VE GOT ALL OF OUR HYDRANTS OPERABLE.

WHAT IS THE DOLLAR AMOUNT? YOU WOULD THINK THAT WE WOULD NEED TO STAY IN FRONT OF THAT AND TO MAINTAIN THAT.

I WOULD PROBABLY LEAVE IT AT THAT 30,000 MARK AND WHAT I WOULD FOCUS ON NEXT.

SO, YOU KNOW, ONCE LET'S SAY, OKAY, WE KNOW WE'RE 100% OPERABLE, THEN I WOULD FOCUS ON NEXT OF JUST STARTING BECAUSE WE HAVE SOME REALLY OLD HYDRANTS OUT IN THE SYSTEM AS FAR AS AGE, JUST NUMBERS, THE DATE STAMPED ON THERE.

AND I WOULD JUST START FROM THOSE AND WORKING MY WAY UP AND JUST START REPLACING THOSE BEFORE THEY BECOME A PROBLEM.

BUT DO YOU THINK THAT THAT, THAT THAT FIGURE IS GOING TO CAUSE YOU TO FALL BEHIND IN ANY WAY? POSSIBLY. I WOULD JUST HAVE TO LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, HOW MANY FOR INSTANCE, WE PICK A NUMBER, RIGHT? SO I DON'T WANT ANYTHING OLDER THAN 1980 OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES.

I'D HAVE TO GO BACK, SEE HOW MANY OF THOSE WE HAVE PRIOR TO THAT DATE, AND ADD THEM ALL UP AND SEE HOW LONG, HOW MANY YEARS IT WOULD TAKE US TO REPLACE THOSE IF WE HAD 30,000.

BUT IF WE'RE GOING THROUGH PROACTIVE REPLACEMENTS, MIGHT WE BE PULLING HYDRANTS THAT THAT RECENTLY HAD A BONNET REPAIR AND DON'T HAVE ANY CASTING DAMAGE? POSSIBLY. POSSIBLY, YES. YOU KNOW, SO I THINK I THINK I THINK WHAT I THINK THE BEST APPROACH, I HATE TO SAY I HATE RUN TO FAILURE, BUT I MEAN, ISN'T THAT KIND OF THE WAY THIS GOES? YES. AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, THE REASON WE'RE IN THE STATE WE ARE IN NOW AS FAR AS HAVING, YOU KNOW, SO MANY OUT OF SERVICE IS THAT, YOU KNOW, RUN TO FAILURE WAS DONE FOR TOO LONG AND THERE WAS NEVER A, A PLAN TO EVER REPLACE ANY OF THEM, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST, AT LEAST WE HAVE THAT THE, WHAT WE'VE STARTED ON NOW WITH THAT.

SO I THINK, YES, I THINK IF WE JUST CONTINUE ON, YOU KNOW, ADD SOME MORE FUNDING TO THIS, GET IT DONE FASTER IF THAT'S DESIRED. AND YOU KNOW, KEEP, KEEP TRENDING ALONG THE SAME WAY.

I MEAN, I'D LIKE TO, I'D LIKE THIS TO BE A, BE AT A POINT WHERE WE'VE ALLOCATED SOME FUNDING TO GET THEM TO BE AT 100% OR AS CLOSE TO IT AS WE CAN BE.

AND THEN, AND THEN MAYBE, I MEAN, DO YOU KEEP DO YOU KEEP ANY HYDRANTS SITTING AROUND OR DO YOU HAVE ANY.

WE HAVE A FEW THAT HAVE BEEN DECOMMISSIONED. YEAH.

WE HAVE DECOMMISSIONED OR WHATEVER THAT YOU'VE GOT SITTING THERE AS A SPARE.

YEAH. BECAUSE THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I'D LIKE TO SEE IS, IS, IS ALMOST KIND OF A WHERE THEY'VE GOT A FEW OF THEM.

[02:10:01]

I FOUND THAT, AND I CAN REALLY JUST BRING THIS UP MORE EXTENSIVELY WHEN WE HAVE SOME BUDGET DISCUSSIONS POSSIBLY, AND JUST KIND OF BRING ALL THIS BACK UP. AND BY THEN I CAN HAVE A, YOU KNOW, TOTAL AMOUNT OF WHAT WE THINK THESE 25 HYDRANTS ARE GOING TO COST US TO GET BACK IN SERVICE. AND YOU KNOW, HOW WE WANT TO BREAK THAT DOWN PER ANNUAL BUDGET YEAR IF WE WANT TO ATTACK IT ALL AT ONCE.

AND THAT CAN BE SOMETHING I DO TOO. I THINK THAT FOR ME IS WHAT I'D LIKE TO HEAR.

OKAY. BECAUSE WE GOT WE GOT TO GET TO A POINT WHERE.

WHERE THIS. THIS IS RECTIFIED. AND THEN WE'RE WORKING FORWARD.

YOU KNOW, ON OUR MAINTENANCE PLAN, ON OUR OWN INTERNAL MAINTENANCE PLAN, WHERE WHERE WE'RE.

HEY, THIS ISN'T ENOUGH. THIS ISN'T GETTING IT DONE.

WE'RE WE'RE STARTING TO FALL BEHIND AGAIN. WE NEED SOME MORE MONEY, MORE LABOR.

WHATEVER WE NEED. GOTCHA. I'M A LITTLE. WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED DISTANCE BETWEEN FIRE HYDRANTS? 500FT. AND HOW MANY? HOW MANY DO. HOW MANY OF THESE DO WE HAVE THAT ARE.

I THINK ALL OF THESE ARE ARE DEFICIENT. PRETTY MUCH.

YEAH, I THINK THAT'S, THAT'S ALL WE INCLUDED ON THE LIST WAS ANYTHING OVER 500FT? YOU KNOW WHERE I'M GOING WITH THIS? WHAT'S THE BUILDING CODES FOR 2021? HOW WE GO BACK TO THE EXACT SAME ITEMS WE TALKED ABOUT.

WHAT'S THE CURRENT BUILDING CODE FOR 2015? 500FT WEST 2021 BUILDING CODES.

I THINK IT'S THE SAME, BUT WE'LL HAVE THAT ON OUR COMPARISONS.

YOU KNOW, LIKE A A W W A STANDARDS AMERICAN WATER WORKS ASSOCIATION.

YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE THEIR STAKE IN, YOU KNOW, AND THEY'RE DOING A NEW WATER LINE INSTALLATIONS, THOSE KIND OF THINGS. AND THEIR REQUIREMENTS ARE EVERY 500FT.

THERE'S NEW STUFF ON HERE THAT WAS BUILT OUTSIDE OF CODE.

I MEAN, LOVES CARL JUNIOR. IT'S A 12 INCH LINE, 930FT FROM THE NEAREST WATER LINE OR FIRE HYDRANT.

LOOKING AT THE BUS BARN, THE ISD BUS BARN 680FT AWAY.

THEY BUILT A NEW BUS BARN. WE DIDN'T GET THEM TO PUT THE FIRE HYDRANT IN.

DO YOU REMEMBER LOOKING AT THAT ONE SPECIFICALLY? THIS IS TAKING INTO ACCOUNT WHERE THE FIRE HYDRANTS ARE AND NOT WHERE THE FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS ARE.

SO IF LOVES HAS A FIRE PROTECTION RADKE ISD BUS BARN HAS A FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM INSIDE.

WE AREN'T TAKING THAT INTO ACCOUNT WITH WITH THE SPREADSHEET.

RIGHT. BUT THE BUILDING CODE SAYS FIRE HYDRANT OVER 500FT, RIGHT? I HAVE NO IDEA IF THAT'S A BUILDING CODE. I JUST KNOW THAT'S A W W A STANDARDS.

I MEAN, I'M JUST SAYING THERE'S THERE'S STUFF THAT'S NEW ON HERE. I MEAN, EVEN THE TRACTOR SUPPLY THAT'S 1280FT AWAY ISN'T THAT OLD.

SO JUST THINGS TO REMEMBER WHENEVER WE'RE APPROVING THINGS, RIGHT? YES. OKAY, SO IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO GET A LIST, HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO COST TO FIX THOSE 25. CORRECT. I'LL LIST OUT THE HYDRANTS, THEIR ADDRESSES.

I'LL LIST OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS. AND IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, CITY CAN FIX OR NEW INSTALLS HOW LISTED OUT AS TOTAL COST.

AND LIKE I SAID, I CAN BRING ALL THAT BACK FOR BUDGET DISCUSSIONS AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT THEN.

OKAY. AND THEN THE, THE LAST SECTION OF THIS WAS JUST, IT WAS ASKED ABOUT THE HYDRANT AT 305 BIRCH STREET.

CITY STAFF FLUSHED THAT ON JUNE 13TH, 2023. AS FAR AS LIKE, YOU KNOW, JACOB AND HIS TEAM PHYSICALLY GOING OUT THERE AND DOING IT.

BUT THIS HYDRO WAS MOST RECENTLY FLUSHED ON JANUARY 16TH DURING OUR 2025 HYDRANT INSPECTIONS.

SO THAT WAS THE LAST TIME IT WAS FLUSHED. SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, HECTOR, IS THE FIRE HYDRANT ON BIRCH STREET IS IN COMPLIANCE AND OPERATIONAL.

CORRECT. AND IS WORKING JUST FINE. CORRECT. THANK YOU.

HOPE YOU HEARD THAT. MR. CHRISTIAN MAYOR. I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PLACES THAT AREN'T DON'T HAVE FIRE PROTECTION.

I DON'T WANT THE PUBLIC TO SAY, OH, IF MY HOUSE CATCHES FIRE, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE DONE.

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVES WITH WATER. WE HAVE TANKER TRUCKS. I'VE SEEN THEM GUYS WORK THEIR REAR ENDS OFF AND GALS WORK THEIR REAR ENDS OFF PUTTING HOSES TOGETHER AND PUTTING TRUCKS TOGETHER WHERE THEY HAVE SUFFICIENT PRESSURE TO WHERE WE ARE DEFICIENT IN THOSE IN THOSE FIRE HYDRANTS.

BUT I'VE SEEN THEM PUT TRUCKS TOGETHER FOR A LONG TIME AND IN AREAS OF THE COUNTY.

[02:15:03]

YES, YES. YEAH. I REMEMBER THE THE FIREFIGHTER I WAS TALKING TO THAT DAY.

EVERY TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH OVER 1000FT OF HOSE OR RIGHT AT 1000FT.

SO THEIR CODE IS 500FT, BUT WE HAVE DOUBLE THE AMOUNT ON THE TRUCKS AND WE USUALLY HAVE TWO TRUCKS THAT WILL SHOW UP IF THEY NEED TO. THEY'VE GOT HOSE TO CONNECT. YOU'VE GOT 2000FT OF HOSE.

SO WE'VE WE'VE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE. NO. WE ALWAYS THEY WERE IN GOOD CONTACT WITH ALL OF OUR NEIGHBORS.

WE MET WITH DANBURY AT LAKE JACKSON. ANY OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENTS AROUND.

I JUST WANT THE CITIZENS TO KNOW THAT THEY ARE PROTECTED. THAT'S A VERY GOOD POINT. YEAH. THANK YOU. WE'RE JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE WE'RE WE'RE KEEPING UP.

MAYOR JUST TO SAY THAT IT IS IN THE IFC, THE FIRE CODE ON 15.

IT'S IT'S 500. UNLESS THE BUILDING SPRINKLED, IT'LL GO TO 750.

THANK YOU. CARL. GOOD TO KNOW. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

KEEPING WITH OUR WATER PROGRAM TONIGHT. ITEM NUMBER NINE.

DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION ON ADDING MASTER METERS TO EXISTING MOBILE HOME COMMUNITIES.

[9. Discussion and possible action on adding master meters to existing mobile home communities. ]

CALCULATED THESE FOR US SO WE HAD A WRONG AMOUNT.

SO APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. BUT THIS IS ALL CORRECT.

MORE THAN ONE. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. SO YOU KNOW WE CURRENTLY HAVE A NINE MOBILE HOME COMMUNITIES IN TOWN.

ONLY ONE OF THEM HAS A MASTER METER. WHAT A MASTER METER IS.

IT'S JUST AT THE ENTRANCE TO A TO A PRIVATE. YOU KNOW, THESE ARE ALL PRIVATE ENTITIES.

THEY OWN THE ROADWAYS, THE UTILITY LINES INSIDE OF THEM.

ALL THOSE. THE ONLY THING THE CITY ACTUALLY OWNS IS THE METER.

AND SO THESE MASTER METERS TRACK ALL THE WATER THAT ENTERS, ENTERS THEIR PROPERTY.

YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S HOW THE WATER IS MEASURED VERSUS CURRENTLY IN ALL THESE COMMUNITIES, WE HAVE INDIVIDUAL METERS EVERYWHERE.

SO WITH MASTER METERS IT WOULD CREATE A LOT OF LESS ASSETS FOR THE CITY TO MAINTAIN.

AND WE DON'T HAVE HUNDREDS OF METERS NOW. WE ONLY HAVE NINE METERS FOR US TO HAVE TO GO IN.

IF GASKETS ARE LEAKING, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, IT'S ALL PRIVATE, SO WE DON'T TAKE CARE OF THE INDIVIDUAL PLUMBING OR ANYTHING ELSE LIKE THAT LEAKING. BUT IF GASKETS ARE LEAKING ON THE METER, THE CITY HAS TO GO AND CHECK AND EXCHANGE THOSE GASKETS OUT.

SO THAT HELPS WITH THAT. IT ALSO HELPS WITH OUR WATER LOSS AS JACOB COULD ATTEST TO.

YOU KNOW, WE DO HAVE WATER LOSS OUT IN THE SYSTEM, WHICH MEANS IT'S WE HAVE WATER THAT HAS LEFT THE PLANT THAT WASN'T SOLD.

IT WASN'T FLUSHED, IT WASN'T METERED IN ANY KIND OF WAY.

SO WE HAVE NO ACCOUNT FOR IT. SOME OF THAT IS SOME LEAKS WE HAVE UNDERGROUND THAT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT OR CAN'T SEE.

BUT THE REST OF IT IS, YOU KNOW, WE DO NOTICE THAT WHEN THEY GO AND READ METERS, THE METER READERS GO OUT AND READ METERS, THEY NOTICE THAT THERE'S WATER LEAKS UNDER TRAILERS AND DIFFERENT AREAS INSIDE OF THESE PARKS.

BUT AGAIN, WATER IS NOT BEING METERED. SO THESE LEAKS CAN GO ON AND ON.

IT'S THEIR OWN PRIVATE FACILITY. I DON'T KNOW.

ARE OUR GROUNDS TO FORCE THEM TO FIX A WATER LEAK? BUT YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST COMING OUT OF THE GROUND SOMEWHERE. BUT AGAIN, IF IT'S NOT BEING METERED, THEY'RE NOT BEING BILLED FOR IT. SO YOUR, YOUR, YOUR INCLINATION TO FIX SOMETHING YOU'RE NOT BEING BILLED FOR IS, IS QUITE LOW.

SO THAT'S ANOTHER STEP TO THIS. AND ALSO GETTING FULL AND TIMELY PAYMENTS FROM WHAT CAN BE A TRANSIENT COMMUNITY.

YOU KNOW, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, WE HAVE ALL THESE ALL THE NINE TRAILER PARKS LISTED HERE IN THEIR TOTAL OF OUTSTANDING DEBT AND ALSO WHAT'S BEEN TRANSLATED AS BAD DEBT WHICH HAS BEEN SENT OUT TO COLLECTIONS UTILITY ABILITY UTILITY BILLING GRACIOUSLY PROVIDED US THESE NUMBERS.

SO THANK THEM FOR THAT. AND ALSO JUST WITH THAT, YOU KNOW, THE UTILITY BILL, UTILITY BILLING CREW THAT HAS TO GO OUT THERE AND ACTUALLY RECONNECT AND DISCONNECT ALL THESE UNITS ALL THE TIME.

THEY'RE HAVING TO GO OUT THERE CONSTANTLY, TURN THESE ON AND OFF. AND, YOU KNOW, MASTER METER ELIMINATES ALL THOSE THINGS. AND SO, YOU KNOW, KIND OF HOW IT WORKS IS, YOU KNOW, THE ACTUAL YOU KNOW, MOBILE HOME PARK WOULD RECEIVE THE BILL AND FROM THERE THEY CAN IT'S RATIO BILLING OR IF THEY WANT TO HAVE THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL METERS, THEY READ AND BILL IT THAT WAY.

BUT THAT'S KIND OF HOW IT, HOW IT OPERATES. YOU KNOW, WE CAN, IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE DESIRE TO WANT TO PURSUE, YOU KNOW, WE CAN, WE CAN SET DATES TO BEGIN.

IT COULD BE 90 DAYS, IT COULD BE 120 DAYS, HOWEVER LONG WE WANT TO GIVE THEM TO GET THEIR AFFAIRS IN ORDER.

WE CAN HOST TOWN HALLS ABOUT IT. WE CAN DO ALL THOSE THINGS.

BUT IT'S JUST NOT, IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, US PUBLIC WORKS HAVE NOTICED SUZY AND FINANCE NOTICES AND,

[02:20:02]

AND SO WE'RE JUST, YOU KNOW, ALL WORKING TOGETHER TO, TO TRY TO GET IT DONE.

AND, YOU KNOW, SO TODAY IS JUST ABOUT, YOU KNOW, GETTING EVERYONE'S INPUT.

THERE'S A LOT OF CITIES HERE LISTED THAT, YOU KNOW, OUR OFFICE COORDINATOR, HEIDI, HAS CALLED, YOU KNOW, OR EMAILED ALL THESE INDIVIDUAL CITIES JUST TO GET THEIR INPUT ON THEM.

AND MAJORITY OF THEM THAT HAVE MOBILE HOME COMMUNITIES EITHER HAVE MASTER METERS AND OR WOULD WANT OR THEY WANT MASTER METERS, OR THEY'RE TRANSITIONING TO MASTER METERS. THERE'S A FEW OF THEM THAT SAY, YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T WANT TO HAVE THEM, BUT MAJORITY OF THE CONSENSUS IS THAT MASTER METERS ARE THE WAY TO GO.

THOSE ARE ALL THE TOP, TOP POINTS ON THAT. AND AGAIN, WE JUST WANT TO GET COUNCIL INPUT ON WHETHER THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO PURSUE OR NOT. OKAY. WHO, WHO'S THE ONE, THE ONE, THE ONE MASTER METER.

WHAT WHAT ARE YOU REFERENCING? WHO IS THE ONE MASTER OUT OF OUT OF THE NINE EXISTING MOBILE HOME COMMUNITY.

OH. OH, I'M SORRY, BUT ONLY IT'S ON SHANKS ROAD, WHICH IS THE TWO, SIX, FOUR FIVE SHANKS AND I THINK I BELIEVE THESE OUTSTANDING LIKE IN THE END, BAD DEBT WAS PRIOR BECAUSE THIS WASN'T ALWAYS A MASTER METER.

WE INSTALLED THE MASTER METER, I BELIEVE IN 21 OR 22.

AND SO I THINK THAT'S WHY IT HAS A TON OF BAD DEBT BUT NOT A LOT OUTSTANDING DEBT.

OKAY. SO, SO RIGHT NOW, SO RIGHT NOW THE PARKS ARE BEING, ARE RECEIVING ALL THESE INDIVIDUAL BILLS AND THOSE ARE BEING PASSED THROUGH TO THE TENANT TO THE TENANT RECEIVES A BILL.

YES. OH. A COUPLE OF PROBLEMS. I MEAN, I'M, I FEEL Y'ALL'S POLITE, I DO, I CAN SEE HOW THIS, THIS IS GOING TO BE A THIS MIGHT BE A THING.

I BELIEVE IT WILL BE, YES. HOW DID PLANO GET STUCK IN THIS LIST? SHE ACTUALLY REACHED OUT TO A LOT OF DIFFERENT CITIES. I KNOW SHE TRIED TO GET ALL THE ONES IN OUR IMMEDIATE AREA, BUT A LOT OF THEM JUST DIDN'T RESPOND OR DIDN'T ANSWER.

RICHWOOD. MANVEL. PEARLAND. NEEDVILLE. ROSENBERG.

TEXAS. CITY, PLANO, WHICH DOES NOT FIT IN THIS CATEGORY.

AND YEAH, IF YOU'RE LOOKING IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT SIZE, REMEMBER WE'VE BEEN COMPARED WITH LEAGUE CITY AND KEMAH AND A COUPLE OTHERS.

REMEMBER THAT. REMEMBER THAT GRIPE? APPRECIATE THAT OUT OF THE BOX THINKING THAT'S ALL I'M GONNA SAY.

I WAS IN YOU KNOW, I SAW NEEDVILLE DOES NOT ALLOW MOBILE HOME COMMUNITIES IN THE CITY.

ALSO SAW THAT RICHWOOD DOES NOT ALLOW MOBILE HOMES ANYMORE.

THE CITY OF ANGLETON DOES NOT ALLOW MOBILE HOMES UNLESS IT'S IN A.

IN A ZONE. RIGHT. WHAT ABOUT THE NEW ONE TO THE SOUTH? BRAND NEW MOBILE HOME PARK WHICH WAS APPROVED THROUGH A PD.

YES, THEY HAVE A MASTER METER. THEY DO NOT. AND THE REASON WHY IS THAT WAS LIKE ONE OF THOSE PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS.

AND THE CITY OWNS THE ROADWAYS, THE WATER LINES, SEWER LINES, ALL THOSE TYPE OF THINGS.

WITH THESE NON SPECIFICALLY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE CITY DOES NOT OWN THE RIGHT.

OWN THE ROADS, THE THE WATER, THE SEWER, ALL THAT AND WHATEVER'S ON THEIR PROPERTY THE CITY DOES NOT OWN.

AND SO THAT'S ALSO ANOTHER ISSUE WITH US, YOU KNOW, HAVING TO READ ALL THOSE METERS.

AND YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S LEAKS GOING ON, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT THE ONES WHO GO IN THERE AND FIX THEM.

SO, YOU KNOW, THINGS CAN LEAK FOR A WHILE AND THAT'S JUST WATER LOSS ADDING UP.

SO YOU'RE SAYING $396,000 IN OUTSTANDING DEBT FROM THESE NINE COMMUNITIES.

CORRECT. AND THE OWNER OF THOSE PROPERTIES HAS NO SKIN IN THE GAME.

THEY DON'T THEY'RE ALL INDIVIDUAL UNITS. SO IF SOMEONE DECIDES TO UP AND MOVE OUT, THEY DON'T PAY THE BILL.

IT DOESN'T GET PUT ON THE OWNER, IT GETS PUT ON THE CITY IS WE'RE THE ONES, YOU KNOW, HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, TAKE THE TAKE THE LOSS ON IT. BUT YOU KNOW, LET'S SAY THE OWNER, RIGHT? THE OWNER HAS SOMEONE WHO SKIPS OUT ON RENT ON THE WATER BILL, WHATEVER, WHATNOT.

WELL, THE ACTUAL OWNER OF THE, OF THE BUSINESS OR MANAGER, WHOEVER IS ACTUALLY PAYING THE WATER BILL.

SO IT'S GOING TO BE PAID REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY PEOPLE MOVE IN AND OUT.

THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION. I WAS CURIOUS WHAT I DIDN'T, I GUESS WHAT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND INITIALLY WAS, WERE ALL THOSE METERS ON THE PROPERTY AND THEY WERE GOING THROUGH THE OFFICE TO THE TENANTS, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? SO THAT SO THAT HE COULD METER EACH INDIVIDUAL ONE.

SO HE'S NOT THE OWNER, HE'S ACTUALLY HAVING THEM SET UP THEIR OWN BILLING.

[02:25:04]

YEAH, THEY ALL GET MASTER METERS. YEAH. YEAH.

AND TYPICALLY THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST LIKE A RATIO CALCULATION.

YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE 100 UNITS, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE BILLS X AMOUNT OF DOLLARS AND THEY JUST DIVIDE IT OUT BETWEEN ALL.

THAT'S TYPICALLY HOW IT GOES. OR THEY JUST HAVE A, A SET CHARGE.

THEY KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO COVER THAT AMOUNT. AND THEY JUST, YOU KNOW, IT'S A CHARGE EVERY MONTH FOR. $400,000 IN BACK PAY.

THAT'S A LOT. I MEAN, THAT GETTING GETTING THE MASTER METER ON YOUR ON YOUR ON YOUR MOBILE HOME PARK IS NOT PUNITIVE.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS. LET ME PLAY DEVIL'S ADVOCATE AND ASK YOU ALL APARTMENT COMPLEXES IN ANGLETON.

ARE THEY ALL MASTER METERED? YEP. THEY HAVE. THEY EITHER HAVE A METER GOING INTO THEIR COMPLEX OR THEY HAVE METERS AT EACH INDIVIDUAL UNIT, YOU KNOW, WITH EACH BUILDING. YEAH. EACH BUILDING.

YEAH. AND THEN FOR THEM, IF THEY HAVE LEAKS IN THE BUILDING, IT'S THE APARTMENT RESPONSIBILITY.

SO THAT'S WHY I'M, I'M LEANING TOWARDS THE MASTER METERS BECAUSE THE LEAKS AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE AREN'T ANYTHING THAT WE REPAIR.

IT'S THE MOBILE HOME COMMUNITIES PROPERTY. AND IF THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX A LEAK, THEY'LL JUST LET IT GO.

AND THEN THE HIGH BILL, THEY'LL JUST LEAVE. WELL, IF IT'S ON, IF IT'S ON THE PROPERTY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE METER, WE DON'T EVER WE DON'T WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT BECAUSE WE'RE NOT TRAVERSING THE PROPERTY.

SO AT LEAST. YEAH, YEAH. I MEAN, I GOT. YOU KNOW, 400,000 COMPLAINTS ON THIS ONE. ARE THERE ANY OTHER PROPERTIES LIKE THIS? WE DON'T HAVE ANY YET. OKAY. AND IF RV PARK COMES TO FRUITION, IT WOULD BE MASTER MASTER METERED UP FRONT. THAT ONE WILL NOT.

OKAY, WELL, THERE YOU GO. BUT YES, THESE ARE THE ONLY THESE ARE THE ONLY PROPERTIES THAT YOU KNOW, AGAIN, ARE PRIVATE, PRIVATELY OWNED THAT, YOU KNOW, ROADS, EVERYTHING LIKE THAT, THAT THAT HAS INDIVIDUAL METERING IS JUST THESE TRAILER PARKS. WE DON'T KNOW OF ANYTHING ELSE, YOU KNOW, OUT THERE THAT HAS, AGAIN, ALL THE APARTMENT COMPLEXES ARE EITHER ONE METER GOING INTO THE ENTIRE COMPLEX OR THEY'RE EACH BUILDING HAS ITS OWN METER.

SO THE, THE MOBILE HOME COMMUNITY ON BEECHNUT IS ALL A PRIVATE ROAD.

THE ONE ON GIFFORD PRAIRIE. LEA PRAIRIE, THAT'S OUR BALL.

PRAIRIE. THAT'S OUR STREET. YES. THOSE TWO ARE.

YES. THAT'S SIMILAR TO LIKE ANGLETON PARK PLACE WHERE WE'RE GOING TO WE OWN STREETS, WATER, SEWER THERE. SO THAT'S WHY IT MIGHT AS WELL BE A HOUSE.

YEAH, THAT ONE'S NOT GIFFORD, 1392. GIFFORD IS THE ONE OFF OF.

IF YOU TRAVEL ALL THE WAY DOWN. GIFFORD. I WANT TO SAY IT'S BEFORE GRACE LANE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE.

YES, YES. THERE YOU GO. OKAY. OH, OKAY. DOWN THE.

YES, YES. OKAY. I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE I'VE WALKED THROUGH THESE IN MY HEAD.

I GUESS LAMPLIGHT IS ONE OF THEM. LAMPLIGHT? YES.

AND THEN THE ONE FURTHER DOWN ON THE CORNER, 35 HOSPITAL DRIVE, RIGHT PAST THE FUNERAL HOME.

THOSE ARE PRIVATE STREETS AND. YES, YES. DO ANY OF THESE UNITS HAVE A SMART METER? JUST THE. WELL, THERE ARE QUITE A FEW OF THEM THAT HAVE THAT HAVE BEEN REPLACED ALREADY.

I KNOW LIKE IN IN LAMPLIGHT, I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE OTHER ONE OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

WELL, YES, ALL OF THESE HAVE SMART METERS. THOSE TWO BIG ONES THAT ARE ON, ON MULBERRY.

I KNOW BOTH OF THOSE SMART METERS ALL INSIDE OF THEM.

I DON'T THINK THE ESTES PARK HAS THEM INSIDE OF IT.

I THINK CEMETERY ROAD, SOME OF THOSE HAVE BEEN DONE.

I KNOW, PROBABLY ABOUT. OH, ALL THE ONES ON MAX LANE HAVE BEEN DONE, I BELIEVE.

AND BEECH NUT, I DON'T BELIEVE THOSE HAVE BEEN DONE ON BEECH.

SO EDUCATE ME THIS. THE WHEN WE GO TO IF THIS WAS TO COME TO FRUITION, WE DO THIS.

WE JUST GO IN AND TAKE OUT THE METERS AT THE INDIVIDUAL LOTS.

WE CAN OR. BUT YOU KNOW, AT THAT POINT, WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE SEVERING A CONNECTION, RIGHT? SO WE HAVE TO FIND SOME WAY TO CONNECT THAT WATER BACK, YOU KNOW, SO THE CITY WOULD, YOU KNOW, IF WE PULL THOSE METERS OUT, WE'RE HAVING TO REDO SOME PLUMBING OR SOMETHING.

NOT NOT OUR JOB. I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE BEST IDEA.

I THINK THE BEST IDEA IS I'LL JUST LEAVE IT IN PLAY, OKAY? DO WE OWN THEM OUTRIGHT? THEY CAN OWN THEM OUT, RIGHT? THAT COULD BE SOME TYPE OF, YOU KNOW AGREEMENT OR STIPULATION THAT'S DONE WITH EACH OF THESE INDIVIDUAL PARTS.

THEY TAKE THE METERS, THEY CAN HAVE THEM. WE CAN TAKE LIKE THE RADIOS AND REUSE THOSE RADIOS AS THE SMART RADIOS ELSEWHERE AND OUT IN OUR SYSTEM.

[02:30:07]

AND THEN, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE ISSUE DOWN THE ROAD, WHETHER IT'S A YEAR OR SIX MONTHS LATER.

WELL, THE CITY INSTALLED THIS PIPE, YOU KNOW, IT'S LEAKING NOW. SO THE PROBLEM AGAIN, THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT, YOU KNOW, AT SOME POINT, WHOEVER DECIDED TO DO THIS, IT WAS A NICE EXPERIMENT.

IT DIDN'T WORK OUT. AWESOME. YES. AND I MEAN, I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU.

I MEAN, THIS IS BEING SPREAD AMONGST ALL OF US, AND I DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR THIS.

AND ULTIMATELY, THAT'S AS A AS A RESIDENT. THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING.

YEAH. OKAY. WELL, IT SOUNDS LIKE WE WANT TO GO FORWARD WITH THIS DISCUSSION.

OKAY. FIGURE OUT HOW THIS WOULD ALL WORK. YES, THAT'S WHAT WE'LL DO NEXT.

WE'LL GO THROUGH AND FIGURE OUT. YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE. YOU KNOW WHAT ASSOCIATED COST COSTS ARE TO ANY OF THIS.

YOU KNOW, WE'LL FIGURE ALL THAT UP. YOU KNOW, AGAIN, I'M PROPOSING, YOU KNOW, LIKE GIVING THEM 90, 120 DAYS JUST TO GET THEIR AFFAIRS IN ORDER. LET THEM KNOW, HEY, ON THIS DROP DEAD DATE, WE'RE GOING TO THESE MASTER METERS.

GET THEM INSTALLED, THOSE KIND OF THINGS. AND I GUESS, IS THERE A TOWN HALL THAT'S GOING TO BE DESIRED ON THIS OR.

YES. TOWN HALL? YES. OKAY. BE NICE IF YOU CAN REACH OUT TO THE OWNERS OF THESE PROPERTIES AND ALSO HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH THEM.

INVITE THEM TO THE COUNCIL MEETING OR INVITE THEM TO A TOWN HALL AND LET'S HAVE THAT DISCUSSION WITH THEM.

OKAY. WELL, I THINK THE TOP THE TOP ITEM ON THAT NEEDS TO BE WHAT THE OUTSTANDING AMOUNT AND WHAT'S ALREADY GONE TO COLLECTIONS IN THE FORM OF BAD DEBT, BECAUSE THAT'S THE PROBLEM. AGREED. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

WE HAVE OUR MARCHING ORDERS, AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE ON IT.

UNLESS THERE'S ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ON TO THE FAVORITE TOPIC OF STAFF REPORTS.

[10. February Department Reports ]

OH, I WILL SAY THAT. AN UPDATE FOR A STREET BOND PACKAGE THREE.

WE JUST MET TODAY. PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETING. SO THAT PROJECT WILL ACTUALLY BE STARTING ON MARCH 23RD.

THAT'S THE NOTICE TO PROCEED DATE ANYWAY. IT'S 11 MONTH PROJECT, APPROXIMATELY 340 DAYS, CALENDAR DAYS.

WE DON'T HAVE, YOU KNOW, WHETHER THEY'RE STARTING PAIRS, SILVER SADDLE OR THEY'RE GOING TO START BOTH AT THE SAME TIME.

THOSE WERE ALL KIND OF REFERENCED, BUT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GET A PROJECT SCHEDULE OUT.

AND ONCE WE GET THAT, WE'LL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT DAY THEY'RE STARTING, HOW LONG THEY'RE GOING TO SPEND ON EACH STREET, ETC., AND HOW THEY'RE GOING TO PHASE IT, ALL THOSE KIND OF THINGS.

WHAT TOOK SO LONG ON THE STREET BOND PACKAGE? I THOUGHT WE WERE MOVING PRETTY FAST. SO THE MAIN, WHAT SET US BACK THE MOST OUT OF EVERYTHING WAS IF WE REMEMBER, THERE WAS A WE. BEFORE WE STARTED A LARGE PROJECT LIKE THIS, WHERE WE'RE TEARING OUT AN ENTIRE ROAD, ESPECIALLY WITH PARRISH STREET, BECAUSE WE'RE DROPPING THAT ROAD 18IN, RIGHT, TO PROVIDE FOR DRAINAGE AND MAKE EVERYTHING OPERATE CORRECTLY, BECAUSE CURRENTLY THE ROAD'S PRETTY HIGH UP COMPARED TO THE HOMES.

AND SO IN ORDER TO ACTUALLY FIX DRAINAGE, ACTUALLY MAKE DRAINAGE BETTER, THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THE DESIGN THAT WAS DONE. AND SO, YOU KNOW, AS WE, AS WE DROP THAT ROADWAY, WE REACHED OUT TO UTILITIES IN CENTER POINT, YOU KNOW, HAS A GAS LINE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. SO DROP IT AT 18IN, PUTS IT RIGHT IN THEIR GAS LINE.

SO THEY HAD TO MOVE THE ENTIRE GAS LINE OUT OF PARRISH STREET.

THAT TOOK, I BELIEVE, 5 TO 6 MONTHS FOR THEM TO DO THAT.

AND I KNOW THEY HAD A LITTLE BIT OF WORK TO DO ON SILVER SADDLE, BUT ON PARRISH STREET, I MEAN, THEY MOVED THE ENTIRE GAS LINE OUT OF THE WAY FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER.

AND SO IT TOOK QUITE A FEW MONTHS JUST TO GET ALL THE PLANNING COORDINATION DONE.

AND THEN THEY FINALLY GOT TO THAT POINT. AND THEN I DO KNOW THAT WE HAD A DESIGN CHANGE TOWARDS THE END.

WE WENT FROM THAT, THAT DIDN'T TAKE AS LONG, BUT WE DID HAVE A DESIGN CHANGE ON SILVER SADDLE.

AND I THINK THOSE WERE THE MAIN DELAYS THERE ON THAT PROJECT.

I CAN'T THINK OF ANY MORE SIGNIFICANT DELAYS THAT WE HAD.

AND IT WAS AGAIN, DROPPING THE ROAD 18IN. IT WAS A PRETTY, YOU KNOW, IT WAS A PRETTY EXTENSIVE DESIGN THAT HDR HAD TO COME UP WITH TO MAKE ALL THAT

[02:35:03]

IT WAS REALLY HIGHLY ELEVATED COMPARED. YOU KNOW, YOU HAD THE SCHOOL WAS SITTING HIGHEST IN THE ROAD, THEN THE HOMES. AND SO AS WE DROPPED THAT ROADWAY, WELL, NOW THE BUILDINGS EVEN THAT MUCH HIGHER.

RIGHT. SO THEY HAD TO COME UP WITH CREATIVE WAYS. THEY ACTUALLY HAD TO NARROW DOWN THE STREET THERE, I BELIEVE, A FOOT AND A HALF, AND ALSO KIND OF PUSH IT TOWARDS THE TOWARDS THE WEST TO ACTUALLY PROVIDE ROOM WHERE WE COULD GIVE THEM ADEQUATE PARKING AND ALSO WHERE THEY'RE NOT DRIVING UP A HILL TO PARK TO THAT SCHOOL. SO I WAS, I APPRECIATE THAT, BUT WHAT I'M REFERRING TO IS WE APPROVED THIS IN JANUARY 27TH, AND IT'S MARCH THE 9TH, AND WE STILL HAVEN'T MOVED.

LIKE, WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG TO GET THESE CONTRACTS EXECUTED AND STARTED NOW THAT.

NOW THAT I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT ANSWER TO. I KNOW THAT FOR A WHILE.

I KNOW WE WERE WAITING FOR THE CONTRACT SUBMITTALS AND THOSE CONTRACTS TO GET EXECUTED.

I KNOW THAT HDR PUTS CONTRACTS TOGETHER AND THEN THOSE GET PUT IN THE CONTRACTORS HANDS FOR THEM TO GO THROUGH YOUR RIFLE THROUGH SIGN.

TRY TO EDIT OR COORDINATE ANYTHING LIKE THAT BACK AND FORTH WITH HDR.

AND SO THAT I DON'T KNOW THE SPECIFICS OF THAT, BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON IN THAT HDR CREATES DOCUMENTS AND THEN CONTRACTOR EXECUTES THEM. WE SHOULD REMIND ALL OF OUR CONTRACTORS THAT WE'RE GOING TO START MEASURING THIS.

YOU KNOW, THEY'VE GOT TO START. WE'RE READY TO MOVE, ESPECIALLY THIS PROJECT WE'VE BEEN SITTING ON FOR SO LONG.

THIS GOES FOR ANY OF THE PROJECTS. YOU KNOW, IF IT TAKES OVER A MONTH TO GET A CONTRACT SIGNED AND TO GET PLANS, THAT'S ENTIRELY WAY TOO LONG. YES. AND MAYBE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE, JOHN, YOU KNOW, HDR HAS A HAS A MORE EXTENSIVE IDEA ON WHY IT TAKES SO LONG, BUT THAT'S JUST WHAT I KNOW THE PROCESS IS. AGAIN, I'M NOT IN THE DETAILS OF THAT PORTION.

I APPRECIATE THAT. OKAY, JOHN, TO GIVE YOU AN ANSWER.

THANK YOU. PEOPLE ARE USED TO IT. WE CAN'T WE CAN'T ACCEPT THAT.

YEAH. WE DON'T WANT ANYBODY GETTING USED TO THIS.

RIGHT. WE'RE TRYING TO IMPROVE THINGS. NOT BEING COMPLACENT.

YEAH. TWO THINGS. I NEED AN UPDATE ON LORRAINE STREET REHAB PROJECT.

I SAW THAT IN YOUR PROJECT PROPOSAL OR IN YOUR NOTES.

WE NEED TO GET MOVING PRETTY FAST ON THAT. I'LL REACH OUT TO HDR ABOUT THAT.

AND THEN JUST SO HAPPENS, MR. FROBERG IS IN THE AUDIENCE TONIGHT.

SO I DEFINITELY WANT TO MAKE SURE WE TOUCH ON OUR OVERLAY PROGRAM FOR HENDERSON ROAD AND WESTERN AVENUE WITH THE COUNTY.

HAVE YOU HAD AN UPDATE LATELY? I HAVE NOT, BUT I WILL REACH OUT TO THEM AND I WILL LET YOU ALL KNOW.

WHEN DID WE SUBMIT THAT TO THEM? IN THE INTO THE LIKE INTO NOVEMBER, I BELIEVE IS WHEN WE ACTUALLY SENT THE LETTER OUT.

WE'LL GET IT. BECAUSE REMEMBER, WE COME BACK, WE SIGNED THE LETTER JUST TO ENTER INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THEM, AND THEN WE COME BACK, SELECT STREETS, THEN GO BACK AND SEND THAT TO. AND I BELIEVE THAT ALL GOT SUBMITTED IN NOVEMBER. I KNOW I GOT AN EMAIL CONFIRMING THAT IT WAS RECEIVED AND WENT THROUGH ALL THE WAY TO COMMISSIONERS COURT GOT APPROVED. SO YES, I WILL FIND OUT WHERE WE'RE AT ON THOSE.

DID WE AGREE ON AN ADDITIONAL ROAD? I KNOW THAT WE HAD ASKED THEM FOR ARCOLA OR SOMETHING IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA AS WELL. YES. AND I THINK THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO GIVE US AN ANSWER BACK.

SO I'LL I'LL GET. I HAVEN'T I HAVEN'T GOTTEN AN ANSWER BACK.

SO I'LL REACH OUT TO THEM AND I'LL EMAIL YOU GUYS WHAT MY FINDINGS ARE.

OKAY. WAS THAT WAS THAT ADDITIONAL OVERLAY? WAS THAT IN RESPONSE TO SOME OF THE BACKLOG OVERLAYS THAT WE THAT WAS WE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA.

IF YOU REMEMBER, THE. BECAUSE HENDERSON ROAD, WE CAN ONLY GO TO A CERTAIN SECTION.

AND THEN WE WERE GOING TO STOP THERE, AND THEN WE WERE GOING TO GO BACK AND DO WESTERN AVENUE.

AND WE HAD JUST A LITTLE BIT LEFT OVER AND WE SAID, HEY, CAN YOU JUST EXPAND IT JUST A LITTLE BIT AND DO THAT ONE? YES, YES. MATT HANKS WAS GOING TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THAT WAS THE THAT WAS THE AREA AROUND THE CLOSE TO THE CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE COURTHOUSE.

THAT WAS CORRECT. PLAUSIBLY. YEAH. DAMAGED BY CONSTRUCTION.

YES. SO I WILL REACH OUT TO THEM ABOUT THAT. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO TACKLE IT NOW OR IN FUTURE ITEMS, BUT WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET OUR NEW DISCUSSION ON THE TEX DOT DOWNTOWN PROJECT? BRING THAT BACK AT THE END OF MARCH. WE HAVE AN UPDATE.

OKAY. I CAN SEE IF WE CAN GET THAT ON THE NEXT AGENDA.

ANOTHER UPDATE. I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S A WHOLE LOT TO UPDATE.

I KNOW THE LAST WE DID WAS WE TALKED ABOUT SIGNAGE IS CORRECT AND GOT ALL THAT LAID OUT.

[02:40:01]

OKAY. CAN YOU GIVE US AN UPDATE ON THE THE NEW PATCH TRUCK? SO TRAINING WAS COMPLETED FEBRUARY 16TH. WE HAD A SO WHENEVER THEY SHIPPED IT TO US, THEY GAVE US THIS IT'S CALLED A RELEASING AGENT AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO ACTUALLY KEEP ALL THE ASPHALT OFF THE INSIDE OF IT.

AND I BELIEVE THEY USE IT IN THE TAX SYSTEM AS WELL.

AND SO THEY GAVE US FIVE GALLONS OF IT, RIGHT? WHICH WE THOUGHT ENOUGH TO GET STARTED. WE ORDERED SOME, BUT WE THOUGHT IT WAS ENOUGH TO GET STARTED.

BUT THEY SAID, YOU CAN'T INTRODUCE AIR INTO THAT TANK.

SO I THINK IT'S A 15 GALLON TANK. SO, YOU KNOW, IF WE TRY TO PUT FIVE GALLONS IN THERE, WE'RE A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT INTRODUCING AIR INTO THAT TANK WITHOUT FILLING IT UP ALL THE WAY. SO WE'RE WAITING UNTIL WE GET THAT 55 GALLON DRUM, WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE DELIVERED THIS WEEK. AND THEN FROM THERE, WE'RE GOING TO DO SOME TEST PATCHING THERE IN THE YARD.

AND THEN FROM THERE, WE'RE GOING TO GO TAKE CARE OF I KNOW WE GOT SOME REALLY BAD ONES ON CEDAR STREET OR SOME PLACES THAT WE'VE EXCAVATED, SO WE PLAN TO START THERE ON CEDAR STREET. I KNOW THERE'S A COUPLE SPOTS WE LEFT BARE ON EVANS STREET.

THERE WERE SOME REPAIRS BECAUSE AGAIN, WE DIDN'T DIDN'T WANT TO BUY ANY COAL MIX RIGHT NOW OR WE'RE WAITING ON THIS TRUCK AND GETTING THIS THING GOING. WE DIDN'T WANT TO WASTE FUNDING ON THAT. WE JUST WANTED TO WAIT FOR THIS AND JUST START GETTING HOT MICS AND START ACTUALLY REPAIRING THESE AREAS THAT WE'VE HAD.

SO WE'VE PUT QUITE A FEW OFF, AND THEN WE HAVE A LIST OF POTHOLES THAT HAVE JUST ADDED UP ON US OVER TIME BECAUSE AGAIN, WE HAVE PUT OFF PURCHASING COLD MIX AND JUST BEEN WAITING FOR THIS TRUCK TO GET IT OUT GOING.

AND SO ONCE WE GET THAT RELEASING AGENT, THE RIGHT AMOUNT THAT WE NEED, WHICH SHOULD BE THIS WEEK.

FROM THERE, WE'RE OUT PATCHING. OKAY.

OUR DITCH CUTTING. HOW'S THAT GOING? DITCH CUTTING IS STILL GOOD.

I SEE ONE STREET FINISHED OR IN FEBRUARY. THEY DID ALL OF PYBURN.

ALL THE AREA INSIDE OF FINISHED UP PYBURN. TRAVIS COURT, PAINTERS COURT WHICH IS ALL IN THAT LITTLE SUBDIVISION.

THEY ALSO CAME BACK, DID RICE STREET, MORGAN STREET.

AND CURRENTLY THEY'RE GOING TO DO THE AREA OR.

WELL, THEY'RE TRYING TO DO THE AREA BEHIND A BURTON LAURIE STREET, WHICH ACTUALLY IS NOT AS BAD AS WE THOUGHT. THERE WAS JUST A COUPLE OF BAD AREAS. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO CUT THE ENTIRE DITCH. THEY SHOT THE GRADE FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER AND THERE'S ONLY TWO, 2 OR 3 BAD SPOTS. I JUST NEED TO GO IN THERE AND TAKE OUT.

BUT IT'S BEEN TOO WET TO GET BACK THERE. AND THEN I KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO DO EAST KHYBER FROM CHENANGO STREET ALL THE WAY TO DOWNING.

AND THEN WE HAVE A GROVE DRIVE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO AFTER THAT.

AND THEN FROM THERE THEY'LL JUMP TO THE HOSPITAL DRIVE AND THEY'RE GOING TO DO FROM RAEBURN RIDGE ALL THE WAY TO CITY LIMITS BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN, THEY WANTED TO DO THAT ONE A WHILE BACK AND THEY'VE DONE ONE SECTION OF IT AND THEY WANTED TO FINISH UP THE REST OF THAT.

SO THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO THERE. SO IS THIS ON LIKE A GEOGRAPHICAL GRID? ARE YOU NORTH, SOUTH, EAST? SO WE'VE BEEN ON THE SOUTH RIGHT NOW.

WE'VE BEEN TAKING CARE OF ALL THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE AREA. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO PHASE OUR WAY OUT OF THERE AND START WORKING OUR WAY TO THE NORTH. WE HAVE QUITE A LIST OF AREAS.

I MEAN, THERE'S A TON OF DITCHES ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN ANGLETON, RIGHT? SO WE'VE GOT A LOT OF OPTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM.

I KNOW THAT WE HAD POSTED IN OUR POSTINGS WHEN WE POST OUR MONTH, WE POSTED THE MONTHLY OF WHERE WE'RE GOING TO CUT AT NEXT.

AND IN THAT POSTING, WE, YOU KNOW. HEY, LET US KNOW, SUBMIT A WORK ORDER.

WE'LL, YOU KNOW, THAT WAY WE CAN ADD YOU GUYS TO THE LIST.

AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE, I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T THINK WE HAVE MANY WORK ORDERS IN THERE.

PEOPLE HAVE SUBMITTED FOR THEIR STREETS. SO I DON'T THINK WE HAVE MANY TO ADD ON TO THAT LIST. SO FROM THERE, YEAH, WE'RE JUST GOING TO KIND OF EVALUATE THE NORTH SIDE OF TOWN AND SEE LIKE WHERE, WHERE WE SEE OUR MOST NEEDED AREAS ARE.

SO AND IF WE GET ANY WORK ORDERS IN THE MEANTIME.

SO IF ANYONE WANTS TO SUBMIT A WORK ORDER FOR DITCH MAINTENANCE, THEY CAN AND WE'LL ADD IT TO THAT LIST AND WE'LL GET GOING ON THOSE, BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO TAKE OUR NEXT PRIORITY LIST OF WORK ORDERS.

WE'RE GOING TO WORK OUR WAY THROUGH THOSE. AND YOU'RE TRYING TO KEEP THE STREETS GEOGRAPHICALLY FOR YOUR CREWS TO SCHEDULE THEM.

SO THE SOUTH NORTH, CORRECT. THAT'S HOW WE WANT IT TO BE DONE.

BUT JUST AT THIS TIME, WE'RE LIKE SO FAR BEHIND ON EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE JUST LIKE ALL OVER THE PLACE TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF BAD AREAS.

LET ME DUMP TRUCKS. DO WE HAVE DON'T WE HAVE ONE THAT WE BOUGHT? YES. ON THE WAY. ONE DUMP TRUCK. CURRENTLY, WE HAVE A SECOND DUMP TRUCK THAT'S ON THE WAY, WHICH, YOU KNOW, IT'S AGAIN. WE HAD SAID JULY.

I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE HERE QUITE A BIT EARLIER, BUT IT'S STILL GOING TO SAY JULY.

BUT I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE HAPPY BECAUSE I THINK IT WILL BE HERE A LOT SOONER THAN THAT. BUT THE ISSUE THAT WE RUN INTO IS CDL DRIVERS, RIGHT? YOU GOTTA HAVE A CDL DRIVER. GREAT. ALL GOT TO HAVE A CDL DRIVE THE DUMP TRUCK. THAT'S FOR THAT WE NEED TO HAVE IN OUR STREETS DEPARTMENT. CURRENTLY WE HAVE THREE, WE HAVE SOME IN SOME OTHER DEPARTMENTS, BUT WE NEED CDL DRIVERS IN OTHER DEPARTMENTS TO DRIVE THEIR TRUCKS AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS.

[02:45:04]

THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A GREAT CDL TRAINING PROGRAM AND IT'S PRETTY COST EFFECTIVE COMPARED TO ANYTHING ELSE WE CAN FIND.

SO WE'RE WORKING TOWARDS GETTING TO THAT POINT. THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO REACH OUT TO US AFTER SPRING BREAK, WHICH I MEAN, WE'RE AT SPRING BREAK NOW. SO THEY SHOULD BE REACHING OUT TO US TO GET US INTO THAT PROGRAM SO WE CAN THROW SOME GUYS OVER THERE WITH THEM AND GET HOPEFULLY GET CERTIFIED.

I THINK IT'S A NINE WEEK PROGRAM AND THEN HOPEFULLY THAT TIMES OUT WE GET THE EXTRA DUMP TRUCK.

NOW WE HAVE CDL DRIVERS AND WE CAN ACTUALLY SPLIT UP INTO TWO TEAMS. GREAT JOB. IT'S REALLY GOOD. EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT.

I GUESS YOU GOT I GUESS YOU GOT SOME TAKERS ON ON GETTING A CDL.

OF COURSE OF COURSE. I EXPECT THAT THAT WOULD BE THE CASE.

YEAH. YOU YOU'RE STILL TAKING ALL THE DIRT OUT THERE BEHIND THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.

SO WE'RE STARTING TO, YOU KNOW, WE ACTUALLY TALKED TO A PARKS DEPARTMENT OUT THERE, AND I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A DESIRE FOR A BERM THERE.

AND SO WE'RE, WE KIND OF GOT IT MAPPED OUT OF WHERE WE WANT.

SO WE'RE GOING TO START LAYING DIRT OUT THERE JUST KIND OF WHERE WE WANT THE BERM AT, RIGHT. AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE STARTING TO WORK ON NOW. SO ANYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF THE DITCHES IS GOING OVER THERE AND ALL THE OTHER SPOILS. WE DIG UP ROADWAYS, THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT HAVE ROCKS AND ALL KINDS OF OTHER THINGS IN IT. WE'RE TAKING THAT TO THE SEWER PLANT. YES. DON'T TAKE THE DIRT WITH ROCKS AND PUT IT IN A YOU KNOW WHERE I'M GOING WITH THE BASEBALL FIELD? NO, NO, NO, ALL THAT ALL THAT GOES TO THE WASTEWATER PLANT.

WE'RE JUST PUTTING THE THE GOOD CLEAN DIRT WE'RE GETTING OUT OF THOSE BOTTOM OF THOSE DITCHES OVER THERE.

ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? WHENEVER YOU DO THE DITCHES ON A HOSPITAL OVER BY RAYBURN, ARE YOU GOING TO CHECK? I SEE THAT THE HOUSE ON THE CORNER HAS THEY HAVE AN UNDERGROUND PIPE FOR THEIR DITCH IN JUST THAT ONE LITTLE SECTION.

ARE Y'ALL GOING TO CHECK TO MAKE SURE IT'S CLEAR OR ANYTHING? YES. AND SO LIKE, THAT'S EVERY TIME WE GO AND CLEAN AND DO DITCH MAINTENANCE, WE CHECK ALL THE CULVERTS AND WE HAVE OUR, OUR JET ROUTING MACHINE AND WE STICK IT INSIDE OF THOSE CULVERTS AND IT BLOWS ALL THE DIRT OUT.

AND THEN WE CLEAN UP ALL THE DIRT. YEAH, WE'RE DOING THAT EVERY TIME WE DO DITCH MAINTENANCE. IF IT DOESN'T NEED IT, OBVIOUSLY WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO IT, BUT IF IT DOES, WE CLEAN THEM OUT. THANK YOU. DOES THE CITY STILL GO BACK IN WHEN PEOPLE WANT TO CHANGE OUT THEIR CULVERTS? DOES THE CITY PUT THAT IN? SO IN OUR CITY ORDINANCE, OUR CITY ORDINANCE SAYS THAT IF ANYBODY WANTS LIKE CULVERTS INSTALLED, I DON'T THINK IT SPECIFIES EVEN IF IT'S A NEW INSTALL OR LIKE A REPLACEMENT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

BUT IT STATES THAT, YOU KNOW, THE RESIDENT BUYS THE CULVERTS AND THE MATERIAL THAT GOES ON TOP OF THE CULVERTS.

SO FOR INSTANCE, IF THEY HAVE A CONCRETE DRIVEWAY, RIGHT, LIKE THEY HAVE TO BUY THE CULVERTS AND THE CITY WILL GO PUT THEM IN FOR THEM, WE'LL SET THEM. THE CITY WILL SET THEM TO GRADE, BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO POUR THEIR CONCRETE BACK.

WELL, IF THEY WANT TO BUY THE ROCK AND HAVE IT THERE ON SITE, WE'LL SPREAD IT FOR THEM.

BUT I MEAN, THOSE ARE JUST A NEW CULVERT. YOU DO NEED A PERMIT.

NEW CULVERT? YOU NEED A PERMIT. I'M NOT SURE ON REPLACING THEM.

REPLACING THEM. NEED A PERMIT TO PERMIT FOR BOTH.

AND ARE THEY ALLOWED TO DO IT THEMSELVES? I DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT THEY GO TO THE CITY.

GO THROUGH THE CITY JUST SO THAT WAY. WE KNOW IT'S AT THE CORRECT GRADE AND WE'RE NOT IMPEDING ANYBODY UPSTREAM THEIR FLOW.

OKAY. GOOD. ANYBODY ELSE? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. OH, GOOD. I'M GLAD YOU CAME UP. SINCE I'M CLOSE TO THE MIC, I DO NOT HAVE AN ELABORATE REPORT LIKE HECTOR. I'M PRETTY CUSTOMARY, BUT I WANTED TO AT LEAST POINT OUT TWO ITEMS BEFORE US.

IN YOUR NEXT MEETING, WE HAVE THE GAMBIT. DISCUSSION WILL CONTINUE, AND WE DO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING SET TO DISCUSS REDEMPTION MACHINE GAMING.

SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH THE GAME ROOM TO OUR STAKEHOLDERS AND THE PUBLIC.

OTHER THAN THAT, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES? YES. YOU GOT IN YOUR REPORT. I THINK CITIZENS PROBABLY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE NEW THE NEW BUSINESSES COMING TO TOWN. GOT THE ALLEY 108 NORTH VELASCO.

REFINED COFFEE AT 620 WEST MULBERRY. JANE M RELOCATING TO 620 WEST MULBERRY.

THE AMBER RIDGE APARTMENTS HAVE BEEN BUILT AND OPENED.

THOSE ARE BEHIND SPECS ON WOODWAY STREET. MISSOURI COUNTY FIREFIGHTERS TRAINING CENTER FINALLY GOT THEIR CEO.

WINDOW TINT MORE ON 1393 SOUTH VELASCO. THE NEW DEALERSHIP.

THE AUTO GROUP IS GOING NEXT TO GULF COAST. FORD.

AND I KEEP GETTING ASKED THIS QUESTION, SO ALSO I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT GETS NOTED.

[02:50:03]

AND THEN MISS B'S WORLD DRINKS AT 1409 SOUTH VELASCO STREET.

ANYTHING ELSE THAT GOT MISSED IN THAT? EVERYTHING ELSE IS PRETTY MUCH RUMORED.

SO THE RUMORS ARE PROBABLY TRUE. WE JUST DON'T.

WE CAN'T GIVE UPDATES RIGHT NOW ON THE RUMORS, BUT THERE ARE A FEW OTHER GOOD THINGS COMING REAL SOON.

I THINK SOME OF YOU ARE AWARE OF THOSE. YEAH.

ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE FOR OTIS? I GUESS I GUESS IT DOES FALL FOR YOU. CODE ENFORCEMENT.

I KNOW WE'VE BEEN BUSY. YES, SIR. AND I LIKE YOUR REPORT.

I LIKE ALL THE DETAIL IN IT, BUT CAN YOU GIVE US A SYNOPSIS AT THE TOP? LIKE, YOU KNOW, PERCENT OF ACTIVE CASES, CLOSED CASES, LIKE A QUICK PIE THAT WOULD SHOW US MORE VISUALLY.

WHAT? WHAT'S GOING ON? YES. THE LAST SPREADSHEET IN WHICH THE CODE ENFORCEMENT IS PRETTY MUCH JUST AN OPEN DOCUMENT IN WHICH THEY CAN UPDATE ON A REGULAR BASIS. THEY'VE HIGHLIGHTED THOSE THAT ARE CLOSED, BUT I UNDERSTAND YOU WOULD LIKE A QUICK SNAPSHOT.

WE'LL WORK ON THOSE TO MAKE IT MORE READABLE BECAUSE YOU MAY NOT WANT TO SEE ALL OF THIS, BUT IT DOES SHOW YOU IF YOU'RE SPECIFICALLY LOOKING FOR SOMETHING.

WHAT WE CAN DO IS MAYBE POST THESE TO THE WEBSITE AND GIVE YOU THE SNAPSHOT IN THIS REPORT, IF THAT WILL BE BETTER. OKAY. NO, IT'S LOOKING GOOD OVER TOWN.

I'VE DRIVEN BY LIVED HERE MANY YEARS AND BANDIT SIGNS CLEAN YARDS.

I THINK THERE'S BEEN A STEP CHANGE IN THE CITY.

IT'S WORKING PROGRESS. A LOT OF THINGS ARE SEASONAL AND THEY GET WORSE DURING CERTAIN SEASONS.

WE'LL STAY ON IT AS BEST POSSIBLE AND HOPEFULLY YOU'LL SEE SOME BUILDINGS COME DOWN SOON.

AT LEAST ONE IN PARTICULAR? YES, IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO.

YES. EVERYBODY NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT A LONG PROCESS.

THAT IS, WE'RE WORKING WITH THE LEAGUE ON THAT, ON THE APARTMENT COMPLEX AND THEY ARE ROCKING IT.

YES. IT IS A HUGE PROCESS AND TIME CONSUMING.

AND YEAH, YEAH, I DO HAVE ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO LOOK INTO LEGAL.

HOW WE IF WE CAN CONTROL THE SALES OF KRATOM AT GAS STATIONS INSIDE, IT'S CALLED KRATOM.

IT'S A SYNTHETIC OPIOID THAT HAS GONE THROUGH LIKE IT PASSES THROUGH LOOPHOLE AND THEY SELL IT AT GAS STATIONS AND VAPE STORES.

AND IT'S HIGHLY ADDICTIVE. CAN YOU SPELL IT? K R A T O M.

HEY, TOM, I SEE IT AT THE LIQUOR STORE. NOT IN THOSE.

YES, I SEE THE SIGNS. YES, AND I THINK THEY EVEN PUT THC IN SOME OF THEM.

I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THAT ONE. YOU JUST SEE IT.

I'M AT THE VERY BACK. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE IN IT? I MEAN, IT'S FAR AWAY FROM THE TRIFECTA. IT'S IT'S IT'S IT'S PRETTY, PRETTY ICKY STUFF.

OKAY. WE'LL INCLUDE THAT WITH BAIT SHOPS AND.

YEAH, THAT'S WHY I SAY THE ORDINANCE. YOU'RE LOOKING AT VAPE SHOPS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THE INFO THAT WAS SENT.

I'M SURE MOST RESIDENTS WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF WE'RE GOING TO OUTLAW CAR WASHES, VAPE SHOPS AND DONUT SHOPS AND MEXICAN FOOD RESTAURANTS. THAT'S. ALL.

THANKS. THANK YOU. ROGER. WE JUST CIRCULATING.

ACTUALLY, I WANT COLLEEN NEXT. YEAH. PLEASE. COME ON DOWN.

IT'S YOUR TURN ON THE. ROTATION THING. YES, SIR.

YOU ESCAPED ME LAST TIME. SO THIS TIME I'M HERE AND I GOT YOU.

SO. I WANT TO GIVE YOU. PRAISE ON YOUR REPORT FOR THE FACT I LIKE THIS LABOR NUMBER. WHAT I'D LIKE TO KNOW, THOUGH, CAN YOU ADD TO THIS AND GIVE ME A HISTORICAL TREND OF THIS TO SEE OUR OVERTIME COSTS AND HOW MUCH THAT'S COSTING US? IT'S REALLY NICE TO SEE US. TO SEE OUR LABOR COSTS FOR THE FULL YEAR IS NICE TO SEE.

I REALLY ENJOY THAT. WOULD YOU LIKE THE LABOR COST BY FISCAL YEAR? YES. OKAY. YEAH. TREND OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS.

[02:55:01]

BUT I LIKE IT BECAUSE IT HELPS US UNDERSTAND HOW WE'RE OPERATING.

AND THEN. YOU KNOW, ALL THESE OPEN POSITIONS WE'RE RECRUITING FOR IT'D BE NICE TO KNOW HOW LONG THEY'VE BEEN OPEN.

SURE. AND, AND I THINK YOU'RE AWARE WE'VE HIRED THE ASSISTANT CITY SECRETARY.

I'M NOT AWARE OF THAT. WE HAVE FAILED THAT. THAT PERSON WILL START MONDAY.

OH, RIGHT. CONGRATULATIONS. THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT.

GOOD. THE LAST THING I HAD A QUESTION FOR IS.

THE PART TIME STAFF. YES. FISCAL YEAR 26 IS BLANK.

OH, SURE IS. SO I NEED THAT FIXED. OKAY. SURE.

ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE FOR COLLEEN? OKAY.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO MUNICIPAL COURT. HI. I MEAN, YOU SAT HERE THROUGH THE WHOLE MEETING.

I THOUGHT, IS THIS LIKE, A PRANK? I THOUGHT, SHE'S HERE.

SHE'S THROUGH THE WHOLE MEETING. MIGHT AS WELL ASK HER A QUESTION.

OKAY. FIRST, HOW'S IT GOING? YEAH, HOW'S IT GOING? IT'S GOOD, IT'S GOOD. WE'RE GETTING THROUGH. YOU KNOW OUR OBSTACLES, BUT.

GOT MY NEW PERSON IN. THAT'S WHAT I WAS DOING.

GREAT. SHE'S CATCHING ON. SHE'S GOING TO BE A GOOD FIT FOR US.

WONDERFUL. SO SHE'S IN HER TRAINING PROCESS, AND WE STILL HAVE TO BORROW SARAH FROM TIME TO TIME TOO.

SHE'S FULLY UP AND RUNNING FOR OUR COURT TIMES, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, SHE'S DOING GREAT.

GOOD. I WANTED TO ASK ABOUT COURT DOCKETS. OR ARE YOU DOING A LOT OF TRIAL BY JURY? JURY? WE HAVE A LOT COMING UP. I JUST MENTIONED THAT THIS MORNING TO THE CHIEF AND STAFF THAT WE HAVE A LOT COMING UP.

THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WANTING TO FIGHT THEIR, YOU KNOW, TICKETS.

SO MARCH, APRIL, MAY IS GOING TO BE BUSY FOR JURY TRIALS AND WE HAVE A FEW NON-JURY.

AS WELL. ON THOSE SAME TIMES, OUR DATES FOR THOSE ARE ALWAYS THE THIRD THURSDAY OF THE MONTH.

SO THE CALENDAR THAT YOU HAVE FOR FEBRUARY 26TH, YOU HAVE THE GREEN NUMBERS.

ARE THOSE THE CITATIONS PROCESSED? THAT ONE. YES.

SO THIS IS THE CALENDAR THAT WE KEEP FOR OUR ACCOUNT.

ON TOP IS WARNINGS. ON THE BOTTOM IS CITATIONS.

GOOD TO KNOW. YES. I SEE YOU DOWN AT THE BOTTOM.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD THAT THAT'S HOW THAT WAS FLOWING. AND YOU HAD YOUR CLOSED ON THE 16TH.

SO NOTHING. YES. OKAY. AND YOU KNOW THAT OUR COUNTY'S GOVERNMENT, YOU KNOW, I'VE, YOU KNOW, REQUESTED TO SUIT UP AND HELP OUT, BUT THEY'RE REJECTING ME AT THIS MOMENT, SO I'M GOING TO KEEP ASKING.

SO. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, EVERYTHING IS GOING GOOD.

I KNOW CHIEF DEFINITELY AGREES WITH YOU ON THAT.

WELL, IT'S EITHER, YOU KNOW, GO OUT AND PATROL OR HELP IN INVESTIGATIONS.

JUST, YOU KNOW, JUST WANT TO HELP. IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO HELP.

DON'T WE ALL? ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? THANKS FOR BEING A GOOD SPORT.

THANK YOU. JASON, PLEASE HAVE GOOD NEWS ON OUR PROJECTS.

ANY SPECIFIC ONE YOU WANT TO START WITH? LET'S START WITH ABIGAIL.

SO, ABIGAIL, POSITIVE NEWS THERE. WE GOT A RESPONSE FROM DR..

MEECHUM TODAY. THEY ARE HAVE VERBALLY AGREED TO THE CONTRACT.

SO THAT'S BEEN FORWARDED TO DESIREE TO EXECUTE THAT AGREEMENT, I BELIEVE.

WE MAY HAVE SIGNED IT TONIGHT. SO THAT SHOULD GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE OUR PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETING.

BY NEXT WEEK AND THEIR NOTICE TO PROCEED. THAT PROJECT WAS SLATED ABOUT 150 DAYS.

SO WE'RE PRETTY MUCH THERE FOR THAT ONE TO EXECUTE THAT AGREEMENT.

GOOD. FREEDOM. FREEDOM. VERY SIMILAR FREEDOM.

THE CONTRACTOR IS HAND-DELIVERING THE SIGNED AGREEMENT TOMORROW.

SO THEY'LL HAVE THEIRS FULLY EXECUTED IN SAME SIMILAR THING.

THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE PROJECT MANAGER FOR THIS ONE THAT IS CURRENTLY ON VACATION THIS WEEK. SO WE CAN HAVE OUR PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETING FOR THAT ONE NEXT WEEK AS WELL TO

[03:00:01]

COMPLETION IS 90 DAYS. SO WE SHOULD BE MOVING FORWARD ON THAT ONE TOO.

REC CENTER REC CENTER. WE HAVE A MEETING NEXT WEEK WITH OUR ACCESSIBILITY AGENT THAT REVIEWED THAT PROJECT TO COME UP WITH A FINAL PLAN OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

SO WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. SO SHOULD HAVE MORE FIRM UPDATE FOR YOU ALL AT THE NEXT MEETING.

ONCE WE HAVE THAT DISCUSSION WITH THEM, THEY CAN OFFICIALLY REVIEW THE PLAN MOVING FORWARD ON THAT PROJECTS.

SORRY. WHEN ARE WE GOING TO OPEN THE POOL? THAT IS THE BIG PIECE IS THE ISSUE WE'RE HAVING IS RIGHT NOW IS THE DECKING DEVELOPING A PLAN FOR WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE? OTHER PROJECTS CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. SO THEY ARE ALMOST COMPLETE WITH THE SLIDE MAIN PART OF THE SLIDE THAT'S REMAINING IS JUST MINOR TOUCH UP STUFF.

AND THE DECKING COMPONENT FOR THE NON-SLIP FOR THE STAIRS THAT WILL BE DONE WITH THE DECKING.

THEY'VE COMPLETED 95% OF THE TILE. WORK IS ALREADY DONE.

PLASTER SHOULD BE COMING IN IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS TO FINISH UP THAT PROJECT.

THEY ARE CURRENTLY DOING THE INTERIOR PAINTING OF THE WALLS. SO THAT ONE SHOULD BE DONE WITHIN THE NEXT 7 TO 10 DAYS.

SO PROJECTS CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. IT'S JUST THE DECKING IS OUR BIGGEST HURDLE AT THE MOMENT.

OKAY. ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? JASON. THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU WALKED UP. I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO DELIVER BAD NEWS.

WELL, TO ME PERSONALLY, THE REC CENTER IS THE ONE THAT IT JUST CONTINUES TO BE ONGOING.

SO YEAH, THE OTHER ONES ARE GREAT. IT'S JUST I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THE SAME KIND OF UPDATE FOR THE REC CENTER, SO WE CAN HAVE THAT READY FOR THE COMMUNITY AGAIN.

WHEN DID YOU SAY YOUR ESTIMATING COMPLETION OF THAT? IT'S STILL T TBD BASED ON WHEN THAT DECKING COMPONENT IS FINALIZED.

AS FAR AS WHAT WE CAN DO FOR THAT. IT'S COSTING US MONEY BECAUSE WE'RE GIVING CREDITS ON THE REC MEMBERSHIPS, RIGHT? IT IS, BUT BECAUSE THE POOL IS STILL CLOSED.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE IN THE PACKET AND LOOK AT REVENUE, ALTHOUGH REVENUE IS DOWN AT THE CURRENT MOMENT, I WOULDN'T NECESSARILY SAY IT'S A CONCERN WITH OUR COST SAVINGS FROM STAFFING.

SO IT'S KIND OF OFFSETTING ITSELF A LITTLE BIT. SO IT'S NOT A MAJOR CONCERN AT THE MOMENT.

THE BIGGEST CONCERN IS WE'RE HITTING MORE OF OUR PEAK TIME.

SO IT'S AFTER SPRING BREAK IS USUALLY WHEN WE WOULD PICK UP MORE.

AND SO WE'LL HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING IF THERE IS MORE OF A BIGGER IMPACT FOR NEXT MONTH.

BUT HOPEFULLY WE GET GOOD NEWS AT THE MEETING NEXT TUESDAY.

I HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR STAFFING AT THE REC CENTER.

IS IT A FULL TIME FRONT DESK CLERK OR A PART TIME? PART TIME? YES. ALL OUR FRONT DESK CLERKS ARE PART TIME.

OKAY. IT WASN'T SPELLED OUT IN ON YOUR READ, SO I DIDN'T KNOW.

YEP. OKAY. GOOD DEAL. THANKS. ONE LAST THING.

ON ABIGAIL PARK WITH THE SPLASH PAD. THE WATER BEING USED IS BEING STORED.

YES. SO. AND THEN A PASS THROUGH SYSTEM. SO THAT MEANS IT'S NOT RECIRCULATING.

SO IT'S NOT GOING TO BE CHEMICALS LIKE THE POOL IS.

BUT THERE IS A ALMOST 30,000 GALLON STORAGE TANK THAT IS ON SITE TO COLLECT THE WATER USAGE TO BE USED IN IRRIGATION.

IT'S GOING TO BE IRRIGATED BACK INTO THE PARK, BACK INTO THE PARK.

OKAY. WILL WE HAVE ANY WAY TO PUMP THAT WATER OUT AND USE IT? I CAN DOUBLE CHECK, BUT I'M SURE WE COULD. WE COULD PROBABLY FIGURE OUT A WAY TO DO THAT.

DID YOU HAVE THE PUMPER? RIGHT? YOU HAVE THE VACUUM TRUCK.

WE HAVE A VACUUM TRUCK. YES, BUT WHAT'S THE CONCERN, I GUESS, WITH NEEDING THAT WATER IN THE EVENT OF A DROUGHT OR SOMETHING, AND WE COULD USE THAT WATER. NOW, I'M SURE THAT IF WE WENT TO A DROUGHT THAT WAS SEVERE ENOUGH, WE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE TO SHUT DOWN THE SPLASH PAD. BUT IF WE HAD THE WATER AND YOU HAD OTHER AREAS OF TOWN THAT NEEDED TO BE USED FOR JUST IRRIGATION OR SOMETHING, YOU COULD USE THE WATER. CORRECT? YES. CORRECT. 30,000 GALLONS, YOU SAID? YES. OUR VACTOR TRUCK HAS 1000 GALLON CAPACITY, SO IT'D BE QUITE A FEW TRIPS, BUT YES. OKAY. JUST WONDERING. YEP. THANK YOU.

THE ADULT COOKING METHODS CLASS, I TOOK IT. IT WAS GREAT.

AND THERE SHOULD BE ONE IN APRIL AND ONE IN MAY.

YES, THERE SHOULD BE TWO MORE FOR THIS NEXT SESSION.

YEAH. CLASS HAS BEEN GOING GREAT. PRETTY MUCH CLOSE TO CAPACITY FOR ALL OF THEM.

SO IT'S BEEN AN EXCITING ADDITION THAT WE'VE HAD. SO YEAH, IT WAS GOOD.

AND I SEE YOU HAVE A CPR FIRST AID CLASS. YES.

MARCH 25TH. WE DO. WE'RE STILL LOOKING FOR PEOPLE FOR THAT ONE.

SO I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO SIGN UP FOR THAT. IT'S A GREAT WAY TO GET CERTIFIED TO HELP THE COMMUNITY.

BUT IT IS SOMETHING WE OFFER IN-HOUSE. YEP. IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT OR MINIMUM?

[03:05:03]

I CAN GET YOU THAT FOR SURE. THANK YOU. I TOOK MINE AS A GIRL SCOUT.

MANY DECADES AGO. ALONG THE PROGRAMING LINE THOSE WHO ARE STILL LISTENING WANT TO ANNOUNCE WE KNOW RECOGNIZE THE POOL IS CLOSED. SO STAFF HAS ACTUALLY BEEN WORKING ON THE BACK END AND THERE SHOULD BE FACEBOOK POSTS GOING OUT TOMORROW.

WE ARE LOOKING TO BRING IN ACTIVITIES TO THE REC CENTER ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

SO THEY'RE ACTUALLY BRINGING IN VIRTUAL GAMING TRUCK.

WE'RE DOING LASER TAG, FOR A MINIMAL FEE TO HELP OFFSET OPPORTUNITIES LOCALLY WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.

SO IT'LL BE A DISCOUNT TO OUR CURRENT MEMBERS AND THEN A GENERAL ADMISSION PRICE.

AND THEN ON FRIDAY, WE'RE BRINGING IN OBSTACLE COURSES AND BOUNCE HOUSES TO TAKE OVER THE GYM, AS WELL AS DOING A FREE MOVIE NIGHT ON FRIDAY NIGHT.

SO YOU WILL SEE THAT POST GOING OUT TOMORROW.

ONCE THEY HAVE FINALIZED A COUPLE OF THOSE THINGS, BUT EXCITED, EXCITED TO BRING THAT PORTION IN.

KNOWING THAT THE POOL IS CLOSED, WE WANTED TO HAVE SOME KIND OF OFFERING TO KEEP PEOPLE LOCAL AND FOR FREE.

NEW MOVIE NIGHT. HAD A GREAT RESPONSE LAST TIME Y'ALL HAD LAST MOVIE NIGHT.

WE I THINK WE JUST WENT OVER 100 PEOPLE FOR IT, WHICH WAS GREAT FOR US TO SEE.

CONTINUE TO GROW. BUT THAT'S SO THAT WAS ANOTHER REASON WHY TO OFFER THAT ONE WAS WE WERE TRYING TO THINK OF CREATIVE WAYS TO KEEP PEOPLE LOCAL, GIVE THEM SOMETHING, AN OPPORTUNITY THAT'S A FAIRLY MINIMAL COST TO THEM.

BUT GET CREATIVE WITH WHAT THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO HERE, KNOWING THAT THEY TYPICALLY WOULD COME TO THE REC CENTER.

AND SO WE'RE TURNING THE REC CENTER INTO AN ACTIVITY SPACE FOR THEM TO COME TO.

EVEN THOUGH THE POOL IS NOT AVAILABLE, IT GIVES THEM AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SOMETHING. GREAT JOB.

I LIKE THAT, AND THAT'S GOOD, ESPECIALLY SINCE A NEARBY JUMPING PLACE IS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS.

YEAH. GREAT. HOW'D IT GO? I THINK FOR A SECOND.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ARE YOU GOING TO PLAY ROCK PAPER SCISSORS BACK THERE? WHO WANTS TO COME UP TO THE MIC? PD. CHIEF, DO YOU WANT TO COME UP TO THE MIC OR NO. PARSONS LIKE RIGHT HERE. ALL RIGHT, YOU LOSE.

YOU'RE UP. I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT TRENDS THAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE.

THE I WANT TO SAY CRIME IS DOWN IN ANGLETON. IS THAT WHAT I'M SEEING WHEN I LOOK AT THE DECEMBER, JANUARY TO JANUARY THROUGH DECEMBER 25TH, JANUARY THROUGH DECEMBER 26TH, CLASS A OFFENSES DOWN.

CLASS B OFFENSES DOWN. IS THAT HOW YOU SEE IT AS WELL? I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK BACK AT THE SCREEN. I CAN'T SEE THAT SCREEN. YES SIR.

THAT'S OKAY. BUT WHENEVER I LOOKED AT YOU CAN STEP UP WHEN I SAW THAT THE JUST TAKE THE MICROPHONE UP, THEN I'D BE OUT OF THE. I WANT TO BE ON CAMERA.

IT WILL. IT WILL TRACK YOU. WILL FIND YOU RIGHT HERE.

I SAW THAT. FEBRUARY 26TH. 38. 39. AND WHEN I LOOK AT YEAR TO DATE. 74. BUT WHEN I WAS LOOKING UP AT THE PREVIOUS SCREENS, I WAS HAVING TROUBLE RECONCILING THOSE NUMBERS.

IF YOU GO UP TWO SLIDES. THAT ONE IS AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF THIS ONE. IT HAS THE A'S AND B'S TOGETHER. TOTAL OFFENSES 127 143.

HOW DOES THAT TIE OFF TO THE OTHER SLIDE? THE OTHER ONE WITH THE REST.

OH OKAY. THANK YOU. THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO UNDERSTAND.

SO REPORTS THE ARREST REPORTS. YEAH. AND I SEE GO BACK DOWN TO THE OTHER SLIDE.

YOUR CALLS FOR SERVICE ARE DOWN CONSIDERABLY.

ANY REASON FOR THAT? I WOULD, I WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE DATA AND, AND GET SOME CONTEXT FOR IT BECAUSE IT'S FUNNY.

[03:10:07]

IT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION. OKAY MAYBE THAT'S A GOOD THING.

YEAH, YEAH. I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF MAYBE YOU HAD SOMETHING YOU WANTED TO SHARE OR SPOTLIGHT ON THAT.

YEAH. THOSE ARE THOSE ARE RAW NUMBERS PULLED FROM CAD.

SO WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE DATA FOR CONTEXT. OKAY.

I KNOW WE'VE HAD A LOT OF ACCIDENTS. AND I HOPE THAT MISS WILLIAMS WAS HERE TONIGHT. IF SOMEBODY CAN, I'LL GO TALK TO HER AS WELL.

BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THE THE SPEED THAT I CAN ADDRESS THAT.

THE BLACK CAT'S BEEN PUT OUT THERE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME SHE WANTS IT IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION.

IT'S STILL THE SAME STREET, AND THE TRAFFIC HAS BEEN UP.

WE I DON'T THINK WE PUBLISHED THAT YET. ON FACEBOOK, BUT YES, I UNDERSTAND.

I UNDERSTAND HER CONCERNS AS WELL. YEAH. AND I, I MEAN, WE CAN PUT THE BLACK CAT.

THE BLACK CAT DOESN'T MY CAR. IT'S AN ISSUE. SO I UNDERSTAND HER FRUSTRATION.

DOES IT PICK UP LIKE FOUR WHEELERS AND STUFF LIKE THAT IN FRONT OF ME.

WE'RE ALSO, I THINK. WE'RE ALSO TRAINING FOR NEW OFFICERS.

SO THAT THAT HAS TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION.

BUT IF YOU GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE RESPONSE TIMES AS WELL, THEY'RE STILL REALLY GOOD FOR BEING DOWN SIX PEOPLE.

SURE. CITATIONS ARE UP. DON'T TELL DANIELLE THAT.

SHE ASKED. SHE SAID HER CITATIONS WERE DOWN. I'M JUST POINTING OUT NOW THAT YOU'RE YOU'RE SHOWING ME CITATIONS ARE UP.

SO YEAH. AND WITH THAT, WE LOOK AT THE RATIO OF WARNINGS TO CITATIONS AS WELL AS MINIMUM PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR OFFICERS ON PATROL.

NOT A QUOTA. CORRECT. THAT'S RIGHT. SHE SAID SLOW DOWN.

ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE FOR PD? BUSIEST TIMES UNDER CALLS FOR SERVICE ARE HISTORICALLY TUESDAY.

YEAH. JUST CAUSE. NO BIG. YEAH, BUT THEY LIKE THE BUSIEST TIMES ARE MIDNIGHT AND THEN 9 A.M.

AT 11 A.M.. ALWAYS BEFORE NOON. THAT'S ALWAYS THE BUSIEST TIME.

IT'S TYPICALLY. TYPICALLY THERE'S A RANGE IN BETWEEN 11.

AND I THINK ONE, YOU KNOW. AND THEN OF COURSE, AFTER ABOUT 8:00 AT NIGHT ON WEEKNIGHTS.

INTERESTING. GOOD. GOOD DEAL. GO AHEAD. I DO HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MOTOR SCOOTERS.

DO WE HAVE ANYTHING SAYING THAT THEY NEED HELMETS? NO, NO. NO. IT'S KIND OF MAYOR. AND I HAD THAT DISCUSSION.

YOU KNOW, IF YOU GET A SEVEN YEAR OLD OUT THERE, THEY DON'T HAVE A HELMET ON.

IT'S KIND OF A PARENTAL THING TO HAVE THEM OUT THERE.

WE CAN'T AFFORD THAT ON THE 6 OR 7 YEAR OLD. DO YOU THINK THE PARENT WOULD HAVE HIM WITH THE HELMET? AFTER CHRISTMAS, THOSE ELECTRIC SCOOTERS WENT UP.

ELECTRIC SCOOTERS. IF WE SEE THEM IN THE MORNING, GOING TO, GOING TO SCHOOL AND RIDING THOSE THINGS ON THE STREET, ON THE SIDEWALK TOGETHER, GOING DOWN TO THE SIDEWALK.

WE WENT TO SCHOOL, GOING DOWN ELEMENTARY. WHEN I SEE THEM EVERY MORNING, THEY GO REALLY FAST.

YEAH, YEAH. I DO TOO. IN FACT. YOU MEET THOSE BABIES, WEAR HELMETS. IF THEY DON'T HAVE EMERGENCY LIGHTS OR SIRENS.

JASPER. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANKS. OH, SORRY.

ONE MORE THING. THANK YOU. I HAD A RESIDENT SAY THAT THEY HAD A DOOR TO DOOR SALESMEN COME AND THEY QUESTIONED THEIR PEDDLER'S PERMIT.

[03:15:04]

AND I TOLD MY SISTER, I SAID, LET THEM COME. YEAH.

THEY'RE COMING AROUND IN THE MORNING AND MIDDAY, LIKE NOON.

YES. WHEN RETIREES ARE AT HOME. YES, THEY HAVE TO HAVE A PERMIT TO GO DOOR TO DOOR AND CALL THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. YES. AND WE CAN GO OVER THERE AND TAKE CARE OF IT.

MAKE SURE TO CONFIRM IT WHEN THEY GET OUT OF JAIL. AND IS IT SOMETHING THEY CLIP ON OR A LANYARD? THEY WEAR A BADGE JUST LIKE YOU HAVE A PERMIT AND IT HAS DATES ON IT.

THE QUESTION IS, DO YOU HAVE A PEDDLER'S LICENSE FOR THE CITY OF ANGLETON? CORRECT. THEN ARE YOU REGISTERED IN THE CITY OF ANGLETON? YEAH. THEY DON'T HAVE A PERMIT. ABSOLUTELY. WE STRICTLY ENFORCE THAT.

THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE THAT. MARTHA, REAL QUICK.

BRING IT HOME. WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT MARKET DAYS.

THAT'S RIGHT. I WAS I WAS GOING TO GIVE YOU THE NIGHT OFF, BUT I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT GOING ON. SO WE GOT MARKET DAYS NEXT WEEKEND.

HUGE DEAL FOR THE CITY OF ANGLETON. IT IS SATURDAY 9 TO 5 AND SUNDAY 11 TO 4 AT THE MISSOURI COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS.

WE HAVE HAD AS MANY AS 20,000 SHOPPERS IN 13 HOURS.

SO COME OUT. WE'VE GOT OVER 200 VENDORS. IT'S A GREAT IT'S A GREAT TIME.

COME EARLY. YEAH, COME EARLY AND DON'T LET THE PARKING LIKE, OH, NO, THERE'S SO MANY.

RIGHT? THERE'S GOING TO BE BUGGIES AND THEY WILL PICK YOU UP AND TAKE YOU IN.

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH HAS CARTS THAT THEY PICK PEOPLE UP IN THE PARKING LOT TO GET THEM UP, SHUTTLE THEM UP TO THE GATE SO YOU DON'T HAVE AND RAIN OR SHINE, SOME OF THEM, THEY HAVE PLASTIC LINING SO YOU'LL STAY DRY.

YEAH. I'M HUNGRY. GREAT FOOD. YEAH. WE'RE WORKING ON FREEDOM FIREWORKS PROPOSALS ALREADY.

IT'S TIME FOR THAT AS WELL. WE HAVE THE CITY IS GOING TO BE FEATURED AT THE CHAMBER LUNCHEON MAYOR ON THE 26TH.

SO THAT'S EXCITING. WITH THE POLICE CHIEF? YES.

AND FEATURING THE POLICE CHIEF AS WELL, THE POLICE CHIEF AND YOUR LEADERSHIP THERE.

RIGHT. WE'VE GOT THE SHOP LOCAL EAT LOCAL CAMPAIGN THAT WE'RE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW, AND WE'LL KICK OFF WITH THE MAY CONCERT MAY 22ND. WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

AND SO WORKING HARD ON THAT. SO LOTS OF LOTS OF GOOD THINGS COMING UP.

LOTS OF GOOD THINGS HAPPENING IN THE BACKGROUND. REALLY QUICK TOUCHING ON THE CONCERTS IN THE PARK IN THE PARKING LOT THAT'S STILL SCHEDULED IN MAY.

YES. MAY 22ND, MAY 22ND. AND YOU'RE LOOKING FOR VENDORS? YES. SO WE'RE GOING TO EVERYBODY THAT HAS A COMMERCIAL ACCOUNT WITH THE CITY OF ANGLETON.

WE KNOW THAT'S PROBABLY MORE OF A REACH THAN WE PROBABLY NEED.

BUT IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT NOBODY FALLS THROUGH THE CRACKS, WE'RE GOING TO SEND A LETTER TO ALL OF OUR COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS SO THAT THEY KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING, AND THEY KNOW THAT IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO COME OUT AND SHARE ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS.

THERE'S NO FEE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. THEY CAN SET UP A TABLE AND SHARE WITH THE CROWD.

THAT ARE AT THE CONCERTS THAT NIGHT BECAUSE THAT'S A FREE EVENT AS WELL.

JUST TO COME OUT AND LISTEN TO SOME GOOD MUSIC AND YOU CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE FOOD TRUCKS OR THE, THE RESTAURANTS DOWNTOWN OR BRING A COOLER. YOU CAN DO ANY OF THOSE THINGS.

GOOD. ALL RIGHT. ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? ARE WE GOING TO PUT ANY SIGN AT VETERANS PARK TO POINT PEOPLE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION IF THEY GO THERE? WE CAN DO THAT, YES. OKAY, GOOD. AND FOR THE FIREWORKS? ARE WE DOING ANYTHING SPECIAL FOR THE 250 CELEBRATION? SO IN THE REQUEST FOR QUOTES, WE DID PUT IN THERE THAT I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO.

SPECIAL FOR THE 250TH BIRTHDAY. YES. THANK YOU.

THE LAST THING I WAS GOING TO BRING YOUR ATTENTION TO WAS IF YOU LOOK AT THE TOP CONTENT IN THE REPORT I BELIEVE IT WAS COUNCILMAN SMITH WHO HAD ASKED ME TO DO A IT COULD HAVE BEEN COULD HAVE BEEN BARBARA TWO HAD ASKED ME TO DO THE WHAT'S ON THE AGENDA POST AND I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT PRECIPITATED THESE NUMBERS, BUT LOOK AT THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON FEBRUARY 24TH.

I DON'T KNOW EITHER NINE OVER 9000 VIEWS FOR THAT MEETING.

SO JUST THINK ABOUT WHERE WE'VE COME FROM AND THAT'S GREAT REACH, GREAT TRANSPARENCY.

[03:20:03]

ABSOLUTELY. SO THAT WAS THAT WAS GOOD TO SEE.

PEOPLE IN MANVILLE WOULD BE JEALOUS. ANYTHING ELSE FOR ME? OH, THANKS. THANKS FOR THE TOUR, BY THE WAY. YES.

AND IF YOU DIDN'T GET TO COME ON THE TOUR, JOHN, WE'D LOVE TO TAKE YOU.

IT'S LOOKING FANTASTIC. AND YOU SHOULD SCHEDULE ONE JUST FOR HIM.

IT'S HUGE INSIDE. IT IS WAY BIGGER THAN I THOUGHT IT WAS.

IT'S DECEIVING, ISN'T IT? YEAH. AND YOU'RE GOING TO GET TO SEE IT WITH THE WALLS NOW.

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. THE BRICKS GOING UP. IT IS GREAT FOR PUBLIC WORKS.

ABSOLUTELY. AND PARKS AND MASONRY SHOULD BE GOING UP NEXT WEEK.

YEAH. YEAH. JASON CRUZ WAS THERE THIS MORNING WORKING ON ACCESS CONTROL.

YEAH. THINGS ARE REALLY COMING ALONG. Y'ALL PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO IT.

IT'S A GREAT LOOKING BUILDING. AND I KNOW YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING YOU WANT.

AND FOR THE EMPLOYEES IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT.

YEAH. YES. UNDER BUDGET. YES. WE DID DO A TOUR.

WE DID DO A TOUR FOR PARKS AND PUBLIC WORKS CREWS AND GOT TO.

THEY GOT TO GIVE US FEEDBACK AND THEY WERE EXCITED.

IT WAS GREAT. GREAT. OKAY, GREAT. YEAH. THANK YOU.

COMMUNICATIONS FROM MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I JUST WANT TO SAY I REALLY ENJOYED PRESENTING ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF ANGLETON TO CAM WARD

[COMMUNICATIONS FROM MAYOR AND COUNCIL ]

THEY'RE DOING A LOT OF GREAT THINGS FOR THE COMMUNITY. IT'S REALLY NICE THAT WE WERE INCLUDED IN THAT.

THERE WERE ONLY A COUPLE CITIES INVOLVED. AND I APPRECIATE WHAT THE WARD FAMILY'S BEEN DOING HERE IN OUR COMMUNITY AND JUST SUCH A GREAT FAMILY AND ALL THE HELP THAT THEY GIVE US.

I ALSO HAD A NOTE TO THANK MR. FROBERG FOR COMING TO THE MEETING, BUT HE ALREADY LEFT THEN ALSO WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE STAFF. THESE PROJECTS ARE GETTING DONE, AND I'M VERY MUCH APPRECIATIVE OF THE FACT THAT WE CONTINUE TO KEEP THAT FOCUS.

HERE WE ARE IN MARCH AND THINGS ARE GETTING TICKED OFF AND WILL BE COMPLETED VERY SOON.

SO IT'S REALLY GREAT TO SEE. BUT I'LL ALSO SAY I UNCOVERED IN MY CLEANING OF THE ATTIC.

DID YOU BRING IT? I DID NOT BRING IT WITH ME, BUT I FOUND FROM MY OLD COUNCIL DAYS WHERE THE FORMER STAFF DIRECTORS HAD A BINDER THAT THEY GAVE EVERY COUNCIL MEMBER, AND IT HAD THEIR GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR EVERY DEPARTMENT THAT THEY WERE GOING TO GET DONE THAT YEAR AND WHAT THEY NEEDED, HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST. AND I'M GOING TO BRING IT BACK.

I'M GOING TO BRING IT HERE BECAUSE I FOUND IT. I SAVED IT, BUT I REALLY WANT TO SEE THAT IN A FUTURE MEETING.

JUST GOALS AND OBJECTIVES, WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO, WHAT YOU'RE WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO.

SOME OF THE STUFF THAT THEY HAD IN THERE WAS CRAZY THAT NEVER CAME TO FRUITION OR ACTUALLY DID GET DONE.

AND I THOUGHT WAS KIND OF INTERESTING TO KIND OF GO BACK AND LOOK LIKE IN TEN YEARS WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO.

SOME OF THOSE THINGS WE ACTUALLY GOT DONE, SOME OF THEM CITY MANAGER CITY MANAGER BACK THEN WAS IT WAS BETWEEN US.

WHO WE THINK IT WAS. I THINK IT IS. IT WOULD EITHER BE ON WORKFLOW OR PATTY.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A CONTINUATION. PATTY TAKEN OVER AT THAT TIME.

INTERIM. SO YEAH, I, I WANT TO BRING THAT BACK AND BRING IT TO THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING OR SOMETHING.

WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT. THAT'S ALL I GOT. I WAS ON VACATION LAST WEEK AND WENT UP NORTH AND NUMBER ONE, IT WAS NICE BEING HOME. BUT ALSO YOU KIND OF LOOK AT THINGS IN A DIFFERENT WITH A DIFFERENT SET OF EYES, LIKE, WHAT ARE CITIES DOING? WHAT ARE THINGS LOOK LIKE? AND I THINK WE'RE KEEPING UP. I THINK WE'RE DOING GOOD AND.

ROCKING IT. SO THANK YOU EVERYONE. THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO.

CONTINUING. IT'S GREAT. EVERYBODY, EVERY TIME I COME IN HERE, EVERYBODY'S ALWAYS JUST VERY PLEASANT.

VERY NICE. VERY RECEPTIVE. AND HEIDI HAS A GOOD CANDY.

ALWAYS. I HAVE LEARNED THAT ALWAYS. SKIPPING RIGHT ALONG.

YOU KNOW, I MEAN LOOKING, LOOKING AT, LOOKING AT.

I KNOW I BRING IT UP CONSTANTLY, BUT LOOKING AT WHERE WE WERE NOT TOO LONG AGO.

I FEEL LIKE WE'RE ALL EMPOWERED TO DO. THE THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE.

[03:25:03]

IT IS GOING AND WE ARE ACCOMPLISHING GREAT THINGS.

AND I REALLY LIKE HOW EVERYONE IS JUST LIKE LIGHT AND AIRY AND SO HELPFUL ANYTIME I NEED ANYTHING.

I GOT AN ANSWER AND IF I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER THEN I'LL GET AN ANSWER WITHIN A DAY OR TWO. GREAT.

I'LL GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO HIM AND HIS TEAM ARE DOING A GREAT JOB HELPING AT WORK.

HE DIDN'T PAY ME ANYTHING. THAT WAS WITH AN M.

HEY, TOM CREIGHTON WITH AN N IS A CHEMICAL COMPANY IN NEW YORK.

OKAY, HOUSTON. THANK YOU. OH, I DO HAVE ONE THING I WANT TO SAY ON THE FUTURE COUNCIL MEETING.

THE LIGHTS ON COLONY STREET. DID THEY GET PUT IN? NO. YEARS AGO. I DROVE BY COLONY STREET OR COLONY DRIVE THE OTHER DAY, AND I THOUGHT, I NEED TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT AND MAKE SURE THAT THOSE LIGHTS GOT PUT IN. I THINK I KNOW WE PURCHASED.

13 OR 15 OF THOSE SOLAR HEADS TO REPLACE BECAUSE WE HAD, WE HAD THEM ALL OVER THE PLACE THAT WERE OUT, RIGHT? THEY WEREN'T FIXABLE. THEY JUST NEED TO BE REPLACED. SO WE DID THAT.

AND I WANTED I DON'T THINK WE ENDED UP HAVING ENOUGH FUNDING TO DO COLONY SQUARE AFTER WE DID THAT.

DID WE FIX COLONY DRIVE? BECAUSE COLONY DRIVE DID YOU DID WE GET LIGHTS UP ON THAT STREET? COLONY DRIVE? YES, BUT NOT COLONY SQUARE, RIGHT? OKAY. I WAS WANTING TO KNOW ABOUT COLONY DRIVE.

DRIVE? YES. IT'S FIXED. YES. OKAY. BUT JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS, HECTOR, YOU AND I HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT THE COST OF THOSE.

SOLAR. YES. CRAZY EXPENSIVE. VERY EXPENSIVE. WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE COST OF MONTHLY UTILITY, AND FONROCHE HAS GOT A WARRANTY.

FOR HOW MANY YEARS? SHE'S GOT A WARRANTY. I BELIEVE IT'S A 10 OR 12 YEAR WARRANTY.

AND THEY COME OUT ON SITE AND WE'LL FIX THEM.

YES, IT'S GREAT THAT WE FOUND FONROCHE AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

YOU KNOW, BUT YEAH, BECAUSE PREVIOUSLY, LIKE WE'RE AT A POINT WHERE WE DON'T HAVE ANY SOLAR LIGHTS IN TOWN THAT ARE OLDER THAN TEN YEARS.

I THINK THEY ALSO HAVE LIKE EIGHT YEARS OLD. A LOT OF THOSE ARE GOING OUT ALREADY. BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT IN THAT, IN THAT PERSPECTIVE, IT'S NOT VERY LUCRATIVE TO DO IT.

BUT IF WE'RE ABLE TO PUSH THEM 15 YEARS AND HAVE A WARRANTY FOR SAY, 15 OR 12 YEARS, I'M SORRY, THAT STARTS BECOMING MORE WORTH IT. AND WHAT ABOUT RICHMOND THAT YOU AND I HAD TALKED ABOUT WHERE IT WAS SOME COMING BETWEEN VALDEZ AND VELASCO? OH, YES. THERE WAS A MECHANICAL PROBLEM. IT WAS.

IT'S BECAUSE IT WAS A DARK AND DREARY FOR LIKE, 3 OR 4 DAYS.

YEAH, THEY JUST WEREN'T GETTING ENOUGH POWER. WEREN'T GETTING ENOUGH JUICE. YEAH. AND IT'S WOODED.

THERE ARE BIG TREES THERE. NICE SUNNY DAYS. THEY GET PLENTY OF ENERGY.

ANOTHER CON OF SOLAR, RIGHT? YEAH. OKAY. OH, AND NEXT TIME WE THINK ABOUT LIGHTS.

I'D LIKE TO PRIORITIZE CROSSWALKS THAT ARE NEAR PARKS AND SCHOOLS.

LIKE LAKESIDE IS A REALLY GOOD EXAMPLE. IT IS VERY, VERY DARK AND THERE ARE LOTS OF NIGHT WALKERS.

THE CROSSWALK THAT CONNECTS. SO I WOULD SUGGEST THAT I COULD BRING THAT AS A SEPARATE TOPIC OF DISCUSSION BECAUSE WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING THROUGH ALL THAT RIGHT NOW.

AND I JUST CROSSWALKS IN GENERAL AND STRIPING AND ALL THAT, BUT ALSO WE HAVE QUITE A FEW SCHOOL AREAS STILL THAT DON'T HAVE ANY TYPE OF FLASHING LIGHTS. SO THOSE ARE KIND OF LIKE ALREADY GOING.

WE'VE, WE'VE INSTALLED A LOT OF THEM LATELY, WHICH WE'LL HIGHLIGHT THAT TOO.

BUT AGAIN, THAT'S SOMETHING. WE CAN'T TAKE ME ANYWHERE.

BRING IT BACK UP AS AN ENTIRE DISCUSSION. OKAY.

AND IS THERE ANY KIND OF REFLECTIVE PAINT WE CAN PUT AT THE SOCCER FIELDS ON THE BACK PARKING LOT FOR THE ENTRANCES THAT GO TO THE ROAD? BECAUSE EVEN WITH HEADLIGHTS, IT'S SUPER DARK ON THE ROADWAY.

GETTING THERE. NO. THE PARKING LOT TO THE TWO ARROWS.

LIKE JUST TO OUTLINE WHERE THE DRIVEWAY IS. WE COULD A SIMPLER SOLUTION WOULD JUST BE SOME TYPE OF REFLECTIVE, LIKE JUST REFLECT. YES, THAT WOULD BE PERFECT.

YES. ANYTHING ELSE? I PROMISE.

ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? WELL, THEN WE ARE GOING TO ADJOURN AT.

OH, THAT WAS ALMOST 930.
