[00:10:01]

OF A HOME RULED CHARTER OF ANGLETON TAX EXCELLENT AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DA.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR COUNCIL.

TONIGHT I BRING TO YOU THIS ITEM. ACCORDING TO THE CHARTER COUNCIL SHOULD DESIGNATE WHO IF ANYONE SHOULD GET A FIDELITY BOND AND THE AMOUNT HISTORICALLY MR. AL WAS HERE. I'M SORRY THAT WAS THE CITY SECRETARY. ANYBODY WHO COULD SIGN CHECKS, THE FINANCE DIRECTOR AND THE MAYOR.

THAT BOND TRANSFERRED OVER TO MR. WHITAKER WHEN HE WAS HERE AND WHEN HE LEFT IT WAS CANCELED. SO NOW WE, WE NEED A DECISION FROM COUNCIL IF ANY ON WHO SHOULD BE BONDED AND THE AMOUNT OF THE BO.

IS IT NORMAL FOR THAT AMOUNT? THAT STANDARD WHAT WE DID IN THE PAST WE, WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD 100,000.

YOU MAY WANT TO GO UP ON THAT.

I'VE SEEN SOME CITIES HAVE IT AT A MILLION.

IT'S REALLY AT THE PREROGATIVE OF THE COUNCIL. $100,000 BOND IS ROUGHLY $220 A YEAR PER BOND. PER BOND.

SCOTT, DO YOU HAVE INPUT FROM OTHER CITIES? I HAVEN'T COME ACROSS THAT SPECIFICALLY OF HOW THEY LIKE TO DEAL WITH THAT BUT I MEAN THAT'S ESSENTIALLY A CITY DECISION TO MAKE AND DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR YOU ON HOW OTHER COUNCILS HAVE RULE HAVE DECIDED ON THAT. THAT'S THE WAY WE'VE BEEN DOING IT. I HAVE SEEN A MILLION DOLLARS.

SHOULD WE TABLE THIS AND WELL OF COURSE I'M REFERRING TO SOME VERY LARGE CITIES SO I DON'T THINK YOU NEED A MILLION EITHER. I JUST DON'T KNOW IF 100,000 IS SOMETHING YOU'RE WANTING OR NOT. I JUST WOULD BE CURIOUS WHAT ARE OTHER CITIES OUR SIZE? THE OTHER QUESTION IS YOU KNOW, CITY MANAGER.

ON THE TITLE, NOT THE PERSON.

THAT'S CORRECT. WELL NO, THAT'S NOT CORRECT.

SO WHEN YOU FILL OUT A BOND APPLICATION YOU'RE PUTTING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION ON THERE TO DETERMINE IF YOU ARE BONDABLE BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY FOR WHAT IT IS YOUR DOING. SO WE HAVE HAD PEOPLE WHO HAVE FINANCIAL ACCESS BONDED SO THE WAY IT WOULD IF, IF THEY WOULD DO, IF THEY WERE DOING SOMETHING THAT WOULD ESSENTIALLY CALL THE BOND. IT WOULD ESSENTIALLY MEAN THEY WERE DOING SOMETHING ULTRA VIRUS OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF WHAT THEIR DUTIES ARE TO THE CITY AND SO THAT WOULD PLACE THAT ON A SIDE ON THEM PERSONALLY AS OPPOSED TO.

WELL, I JUST WANT TO ASK A FEW QUESTIONS. YOU RAISED THE ISSUE, COLLEEN, OF PERHAPS INCREASING THE AMOUNT.

DID YOU HAVE A SUGGESTION? IF YOU DO, WHAT IS THAT AMOUNT AND WHY? I MEAN, YOU MIGHT WANT TO DOUBLE IT JUST BECAUSE I.

THE 100,000 HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR YEARS. YOU KNOW HOW FAR BACK 100,000 GOES? I KNOW IT GOES BACK MORE THAN 7, SO SINCE SUSIE'S BEEN HERE. SO THAT'S QUITE A.

QUITE A LONG TIME. AND WHY WOULD YOU THINK WE NEED TO POSSIBLY INCREASE IT? WHAT WOULD BE THE BENEFIT? WHAT WOULD BE THE. THE BENEFIT IS THE PAYOUT OF THE BOND.

IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN THAT. THAT'S ALL IT IS, I GUESS, IS. ARE WE JUST TALKING ABOUT RISING COSTS AND EXPENSES, INFLATIONARY.

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SUGGESTING? DOES THAT COVER US? IF WE'RE SAYING IF YOU'RE SUED, IT DEPENDS. WHAT YOU'RE SUED FOR WILL DEPEND WHAT INSURANCE COMES INTO PLACE. SO I CAN'T

[00:15:01]

REALLY ANSWER THAT QUESTION.

IT WOULD DEPEND. YEAH. YEAH.

THE BOND CAN BE. THE BOND IS MORE ALONG THE LINE OF IF YOU DO SOMETHING FINANCIALLY INACCURATE. SUSIE'S NODDING HER HEAD.

THE TML MAY NOT COVER YOU ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IT DEPENDS ON WHAT WAS DONE FINANCIALLY, IF YOU STOLE MONEY, YOU KNOW, THINGS LIKE THAT. I'M NOT SUGGESTING THAT WOULD EVER HAPPEN, BUT, YOU KNOW, IS THERE ANY WAY WE COULD TABLE THIS WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT I THINK YOU SAID DOUBLE, TWO OPTIONS.

WHAT IT COSTS FOR 200,000, WHAT IT COSTS FOR 150. SURE.

ABSOLUTELY.

I CAN LOOK INTO WHO HAS THE AMOUNT. THE CITY'S CHARTER DOESN'T REQUIRE IT. IT IS A.

YES. RIGHT. YOU'RE AUTHORIZED TO DO IT.

YOU DON'T. BUT IF YOU DO IT, THE CITY COUNCIL DOES HAVE TO SET THE RATE FOR IT.

RIGHT.

AND WE'VE CLEARLY BEEN THE STANDARD OPERATING PRACTICE.

WOULD WE SUGGEST CHANGING OUR PRACTICE AND NOT DOING IT? I MEAN, WELL, IF YOU'RE GOING TO SET A DIFFERENT RATE, THEN IT HAS TO BE DONE THROUGH A FORMAL RESOLUTION OR ORDINANCE. NO, IT HAS TO BE DONE THROUGH AN ORDINANCE.

SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO CONTINUE AS BUSINESS AS USUAL, YOU DON'T. YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO CHANGE ANYTHING, BUT YOU HAVE TO SET THE RATE THROUGH ORDINANCE. SO IF THERE IS GOING TO BE A RATE CHANGE, IT HAS TO BE.

THERE HAS TO BE SOME KIND OF ACTION. IF YOU TAKE NO ACTION, WE WON'T HAVE ANYONE BONDED.

RIGHT? YES.

SO WOULD WE TABLE IT JUST TO THE NEXT MEETING? I MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE ITEM SEVEN.

SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION.

SECOND TABLE THIS ITEM FOR THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETINGS ARE FIND OUT WHAT THE COST WOULD BE AS MAYOR PRO TEM ASKED FOR 150,000 AND THEN ALSO GET SOME WORK TOO. WHAT ARE YOUR OTHER CITIES DOING? I'LL CHECK WITH THE OTHER ATTORNEYS. I'VE NEVER.

I WILL SAY THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER DRAFTED ONE OF THOSE ORDINANCES. AND I DIDN'T HAVE A TEMPLATE FROM OTHER PLACES, BUT I CAN SEE IF ANYBODY'S EVER. SO.

YEAH, ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.

YEAH, GO AHEAD. NO, I JUST SAID.

YEAH, I'D LIKE TO. I DON'T KNOW IF SCOTT'S SUGGESTING THAT WE'RE THE. THE OUTLIER, BUT I'M JUST TRYING TO FIND OUT.

IT'S JUST THEY MIGHT HAVE ALREADY SAID IT LONG AGO AND THEY HAVEN'T. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. OKAY, I'LL CALL FOR THE VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, BY SAYING AYE.

ALL THOSE OPPOSED, SAME SIGN CARRIES. I HAVE MR. FELDER THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO COUNCIL.

SINCE WE ALREADY PASSED THAT, I'M GONNA GO BACK TO IT, THOUGH, SO COUNCIL. MR. FELDER, GIVE ME A FEW MINUTES AT THE PODIUM, SIR.

YOU HAVE THE PODIUM FOR JUST A FEW MINUTES. YES, I'D LIKE TO SPEAK IF YOU DON'T MIND.

YES, SIR.

SO MY NAME'S EL FELDER. OUR FAMILY'S BEEN IN THE WATER WELL BUSINESS IN.

SINCE 1955.

MICROPHONE. SO I'VE BEEN HERE MY WHOLE LIFE. I EMPLOY 23 TO 25 PEOPLE ALL THE TIME AND SOMETIMES AS MANY AS 35 OR 40.

RIGHT NOW, 19 OF THEM LIVE IN EMILSON. THEY RAISE THEIR FAMILIES HERE AND THEY PAY CITY TAXES. I PAY A LARGE AMOUNT OF CITY TAXES ON MY HOME AND MY COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE IS INSIDE THE CITY OF HAMILTON.

NOW I CANNOT GET ANY WORK IN THE CITY OF HAMILTON. I CAN'T BUY A JOB BECAUSE I CAN'T GET TO FITTED. AND I'LL BE REAL HONEST WITH YOU, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOUR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR THAT STEMS FROM WORKING IN ANOTHER TOWN 20 YEARS AGO.

[00:20:02]

HE JUST CAN'T GET PAST IT.

LAST YEAR, Y' ALL BROUGHT IN A COMPANY TO DO MAINTENANCE ON THE TWO WELLS. THEY PULLED THE PUMPS.

THEY RAN A VIDEO SURVEY. WE DIDN'T GET TO BID THEM. I CAME IN AND SPOKE WITH.

HE WAS THE ASSISTANT PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, HECTOR AND THE OTHER THE PUBLIC WORKS OR HEAD OF PUBLIC WORKS. THEN TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS.

WELL, SUPPOSEDLY WE WEREN'T ON BID BY OUR GET BIT BY THAT Y' ALL HAD TO GO WITH.

SO WE LOOKED IT UP IN THE OFFICE AND SURE ENOUGH, WE ARE. THAT WAS JUST AN EXCUSE. SO YESTERDAY, OR ACTUALLY THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY, ONE OF MY CREWMEN SAID, HEY, WE'VE GOT SOME CREW FROM SAN ANTONES BACK DOWN HERE AGAIN.

AND THEY'RE PARKED, HAVING LUNCH IN TOWN, NO BID, NO NOTHING. THIS MORNING THEY'RE BOOMED UP.

EVERYTHING'S RIGGED UP BEHIND LA CASSONA.

SO I COME IN AND TALK TO MR. TLUPI AND HECTOR, AND I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS A NO BID AND THAT THEY CAME BY BETWEEN JULY 3 AND JULY 6 AND DROPPED OFF A SCOPE OF WORK. SO CHECK THE CAMERAS.

NOBODY EVER CAME BY. AND IT'S AMAZING THAT HE CAN CALL SOMEBODY AT A SCIENTIFIC SOMEBODY OUT OF HOUSTON, BUT HE CAN'T CONTACT ME A MILE FROM THE WELL, THE JOB SITE.

AND I TYPICALLY KNOW WHAT THE RATES ARE.

THAT'S MY JOB TO KNOW. AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT I CAN DO THAT JOB MUCH CHEAPER BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE TO PAY MILEAGE, PER DIEM, OVERTIME THAT Y' ALL ARE PAYING RIGHT NOW. THEY'VE BEEN HERE TWO DAYS AND HAVEN'T HANDLED IT YET.

SO I'M ALL ABOUT GETTING A DOLLAR VALUE, BUT I'M ALL ABOUT NOT WASTING THE CITY AGNES'S MONEY. AND ALL I HEAR RIGHT NOW IS THE CITY'S BROKE.

WE CAN'T AFFORD TO DO ANYTHING.

BUT WE CAN BRING A CONTRACTOR IN OUT OF SAN ANTONIO TO WORK ON A WATER WELL WHEN I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE IN MISSOURI COUNTY CAN DO IT. THERE'S FIVE OTHER QUALIFIED PEOPLE IN MISSOURI COUNTY THAT CAN DO IT THAT DIDN'T GET TO BID ON THAT JOB AND WERE NOT CONTACTED. SO I'M JUST KIND OF WONDERING WHAT THE POLICY HERE.

DOES THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS GET TO DO WHATEVER HE FEELS LIKE HE WANTS TO AND DOES NOT HAVE TO ANSWER TO ANYBODY? BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IT SEEMS LIKE TO ME AT THIS POINT. I'D JUST LIKE AN ANSWER. SO HOW DO WE TREAT LOCAL CONTRACTORS? DO YOU ALL HAVE A POLICY? WE CAN'T ENGAGE ON THIS ITEM BECAUSE IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA, SIR.

WE CANNOT ENGAGE YOU ON THIS ITEM BECAUSE IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA.

BUT I CAN TAKE IT OFFLINE, GET SOME ANSWERS AND TALK WITH YOU AFTER THAT. I WOULD CERTAINLY APPRECIATE YOU BECAUSE YOU KNOW, WHEN THERE'S EMERGENCIES AND WHEN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE CITIES NEEDED THINGS IN A HURRICANE, WHEN THE FLOOD PUMP ON THE EAST SIDE OF TOWN QUIT WORKING IN THE HOME FOR FLOODING, YOU DIDN'T CALL PUBLIC UTILITIES OR PUBLIC WORKS AROUND SAN ANTONIO.

YOU CALLED FOWLER WATER WELL, AND WE RESPONDED AND FIXED IT THAT DAY. AND I FEEL LIKE THAT THAT'S PRETTY THANKLESS IN ANGELSON RIGHT NOW BECAUSE.

BECAUSE OF WHERE WE'RE AT, BECAUSE I ASSURE YOU, I CAN SAVE YOU A LOT OF MONEY.

WE JUST DON'T GET THE OPPORTUNITY FOR AN ARGUMENT THAT HAPPENED 20 YEARS AGO THAT YOUR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR CAN'T GET PAST.

I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

[8. Discussion on Public Works Fleet Needs ]

GOING ON TO ITEM NUMBER EIGHT, DISCUSSION ON PUBLIC WORKS FLEET NEEDS.

RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, COUNCIL.

SO AS, AS I HAD MENTIONED SOME TIME AGO, I WAS GOING TO BRING ALL OF OUR FLEET AND EQUIPMENT NEEDS UP TO US JUST SO WE CAN KIND OF TALK ABOUT THEM. WE KIND OF GET A FEEL FOR SOME OF OUR MORE IMMEDIATE NEEDS, SOME OF OUR PIECES OF EQUIPMENT THAT WERE IN MORE OF A NEED OF. AND ALSO JUST TRY TO KIND OF GIVE YOU GUYS AN IDEA OF THE VOLUME, THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING IT TAKES FOR THE THINGS THAT WE NEED.

AND I SPREAD IT OUT OVER TWO YEARS, YOU KNOW, THIS COMING FISCAL YEAR AND ALSO THE FOLLOWING YEAR. NOW I KNOW IT'S REALLY NOT FEASIBLE TO DO IT THAT WAY, BUT THE REASON I DID IS BASED ON THIS SPREADSHEET THAT WE INCLUDED, THIS IS HOW WE'RE TRYING TO TRACK ALL OF OUR EQUIPMENT. WE'RE TRYING TO TRACK THE YEAR WE BOUGHT IT, HOW MUCH WE PAID FOR IT, AND THEN WE'RE TRYING TO PUT

[00:25:01]

WHETHER IT'S MILEAGE OR A TIMESTAMP ON IT.

RIGHT. LIKE CERTAIN ITEMS WE WANT TO SAY WE WANT TO KEEP IT FOR 12 YEARS, REPLACE IT.

WE'RE TRYING TO GET THINGS ON THAT TYPE OF CYCLE.

AND SO THAT'S WHY THIS LIST LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF VOLUME OF OUR CURRENT NEEDS. AND I KNOW THAT SPREADSHEETS A LOT TO LOOK AT, A LOT OF DIFFERENT COLORS.

BUT WE TRIED TO BREAK IT DOWN BY, YOU KNOW, YELLOW BEING LIKE A GENERAL FUNDED ITEM, GREEN BEING A SEWER, A SEWER OR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT ITEM, BLUE BEING WATER ITEMS. SO WE JUST TRY TO BREAK IT DOWN THAT WAY. AND AGAIN, THIS IS ALL THIS SPREADSHEET IS EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT AND VEHICLE THAT WE HAVE.

BUT TODAY WE'RE JUST GOING TO FOCUS ON EQUIPMENT BECAUSE MOST OF OUR VEHICLES ARE STILL UNDER ENTERPRISE, THEIR FLEET MANAGEMENT.

REAL QUICK, WHAT'S THE RED JUST SINCE IT STANDS OUT. RED IS EITHER SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN TAKEN, TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE OR SOME LIKE TWO OF THESE VEHICLES, I BELIEVE IT WAS 23 AND 28 WE JUST AUCTIONED OFF. OKAY.

THEY WERE OBSOLETE. SO. AND THEN.

OR IF THERE'S JUST NOTHING IN THAT ASSET NUMBERS PLACE AT THE MOMENT. OKAY. YES.

JUST SORT THEM. YEAH, I JUST KIND OF WANTED TO SHOW YOU GUYS LIKE HOW WE'RE TRYING TO TRACK THINGS INTERNALLY AND ALL THIS THINGS WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP TRACK OF WITH OUR, OUR VEHICLES AND FLEET. NOW THAT WASN'T BEING DONE PRIOR AND THE LAST THING I WOULD SAY ON THIS IS YOU NEED TO HAVE A CATEGORY.

WHAT IS IT? GOTCHA. A LEGEND OR SOMETHING? YES, ON TOP OF CATEGORIZATION. SO WE CAN EASILY TAKE OUT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

I CAN READ THE DESCRIPTIONS, BUT YES, TABS. ALRIGHTY, WE WILL DO THAT. BUT THIS IS A VERY ENCOMPASSING PIECE OF EQUIPMENT LIST.

SO IS THIS ALL CAP, THIS IS ALL CAPITAL? CORRECT.

SO THE OTHER QUESTION IS HOW MUCH DO YOU HAVE THAT'S NON CAPITAL THAT YOU DON'T INCLUDE IN HERE. WHAT'S YOUR SECOND TIER? THIS IS ALL GOING TO BE MOSTLY WHAT'S TOWARDS THE BACK.

YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE OUR, WE'LL. WE'LL HAVE EVERYTHING LISTED OUT FOR FROM OUR SMALLER GENERATORS THAT WE HAVE JUST OUR SMALL LITTLE HANDHELD GENERATORS, OUR WEED EATERS, CHAINSAWS, ALL THOSE KIND OF THINGS. WE HAVE ALL THOSE THINGS LISTED OUT AS WELL AND YOU KNOW, AGE OF THEM OR WHAT WE KNOW THAT HAS AN AGE ON IT OR THAT WE COULD TRACK.

GO BACK AND LOOK THROUGH OUR FINANCE SYSTEM OF WHEN WE PURCHASED IT AND HOW MUCH IT COST US AT THE TIME.

SO YOU'VE GIVEN US THIS LIST AND THEN THIS, THIS OTHER WORD DOCUMENT THAT IS JUST, YOU KNOW, OUR CURRENT FLEET NEEDS, YOU KNOW, THIS, THIS COMING FISCAL YEAR 26 AND 27, YOU KNOW, THESE WOULD, THIS LIST HERE WOULD BE WHAT, WHAT WE ACTUALLY NEED TO REPLACE BASED ON AGE. AND ALSO WE'RE HAVING A LOT OF ISSUES WITH A LOT OF THIS EQUIPMENT.

AND THEN THE FOLLOWING YEAR, 27, 28 IS THE NEXT LIST OF EQUIPMENT THAT, THAT IS AT THAT AGE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IN THAT FOLLOWING FISCAL YEAR JUST BASED ON AGE AND HOW WE'RE TRYING TO TRACK THINGS AND CYCLE THINGS OUT. I DO WANT TO MAKE SOME COMMENTS ON JUST THE TOP THREE THAT WE HAVE HERE. THE VACUUM TRUCK, VERY IMPORTANT PIECE OF EQUIPMENT.

IT'S USED TO JET ROD ALL OF OUR SEWER LINES. WE VACUUM OUT MANHOLES AND REALLY JUST MAINTAIN OUR CURRENT EXISTING SEWER SYSTEM WITH IT. A BRAND NEW ONE COSTS ANYWHERE FROM 550 TO $600,000.

THAT'S FUND 03, THAT'S UTILITY FUND. TO DATE, PUBLIC WORKS HAS SPENT 168,000 ON REPAIRS AND IN THE EXISTENCE OF THIS MACHINE, EVERYTHING THAT WE COULD DIG UP AND THE THING, THE THING ABOUT IT IS THEY'RE GETTING MORE EXPENSIVE.

OUR MOST RECENT TWO REPAIRS WERE TWO OF THE HIGHEST COSTS AT 15,000 AND 18,000 AND SOMETHING.

THAT INFORMATION THAT I JUST GOT AFTER I PUT THIS TOGETHER IS THAT WE HAVE A COST LOOMING ON US OF AROUND 50K TO REPLACE A BLOWER MOTOR ON IT. THE VECTOR TRUCK HAS NOW BEEN OUT FOR 30 DAYS AT THIS POINT AS OF TODAY, AND THAT'S 40, $50,000 TO REPLACE THE BLOWER MOTOR, THE WHOLE BLOWER MOTOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AND THE REASON WHY IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IS BECAUSE THE TANK IS STARTING TO.

TO SCALE OFF, AND THAT HAS GOTTEN INTO THAT BLOWER MOTOR AND DAMAGED IT. SO EVEN IF WE SPEND THE 50K TO GET THIS VACTOR TRACK GOING BACK, WE'RE STILL AT A POINT WHERE WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO REPLACE THAT TANK. EITHER THEY MAY RECOMMEND.

RECOMMEND US TO REPLACE IT NOW OR IN THE NEAR FUTURE, WHICH THAT'S A COST THAT I DON'T HAVE AS OF YET. SO WHAT'S THE COMMON LIFESPAN OF A VACUUM? WHAT WE SAW WAS ANYWHERE FROM 12 TO 15 YEARS. AND THIS ONE, OURS TURNS 15 YEARS, AND OURS TURNS 15 YEARS OLD.

SO WE'RE AT THAT AGE WHERE IT'S TIME FOR REPLACEMENT. AND THAT'S WHY IT'S ONE OF OUR TOP ONES, BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE'RE SPENDING ON IT,

[00:30:01]

BUT ALSO HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO US. AND THIS ISN'T A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, YOU KNOW, WITH THE.

WITH OUR SIZE AND THE REVENUE WE GENERATE. WE DON'T HAVE TWO OF THEM. SO WE GOT ONE.

IT GOES DOWN. WE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IT. SO, YEAH, WE CAN'T.

WE DON'T HAVE TWO OF THEM. WE COULDN'T BUY TWO OF THEM. I KNOW.

I'VE BEEN ON COUNCIL FOR A LONG TIME BECAUSE I REMEMBER WHEN WE BOUGHT THIS THING. YEP. AND WE GOT VALUE OUT OF IT.

I THINK I REMEMBER THIS THING SUPPOSEDLY SUPPOSED TO LAST 20 YEARS. THAT'S WHY I'M CONCERNED. I MEAN, I'D RATHER SEE US SPEND THE MONEY ON THE MAINTENANCE AND KEEP IT RUNNING.

RIGHT. YOU HAVE A LOT OF MEANS. YES.

THIS BACKER TRUCK IS NOT CHEAP.

MOST EXPENSIVE ITEM IN YOUR LIST. OH, YES.

SUSIE'S OVER THERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW SHE'S GOING TO PAY FOR IT. I KNOW THAT.

YOU KNOW, WE DID LOOK AT SOME.

WE FOUND SOME PRETTY CREATIVE LEASING OPTIONS THAT DIDN'T EXIST SEVERAL YEARS AGO OR THAT I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT. AND, YOU KNOW, THESE. THESE COMPANIES THAT ARE SELLING THESE VACTOR TRUCKS, LIKE ONE SPECIFICALLY THAT WE JUST LOOKED AT RECENTLY, IT'S A PURCHASE TO LEASE OPTION.

YOU KNOW, LIKE, IT HAS AN EXAMPLE HERE OF A, YOU KNOW, $9,000 A MONTH WITH AN OPTION TO PURCHASE FOR $293,000 AT THE END OF IT, WHICH I BELIEVE THAT PUT THE COST AROUND 750 OR 800,000, IF I REMEMBER CORRECT.

WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY MORE THAN BUYING IT BRAND NEW. BUT DURING THE TIME YOU'RE UNDER THIS PROGRAM, ALL THE MAINTENANCE HAS COVERED EVERYTHING.

EVEN IF YOU. EVEN IF YOU GET A HOLE IN A TIRE, THEY'RE GOING TO REPLACE IT FOR YOU. SO AT LEAST IT'S SOMETHING EASY TO BUDGET FOR AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BUDGETING FOR MAINTENANCE ON IT THEN ALSO, IF IT'S DOWN, IF IT'S AN ISSUE THAT WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE DOWN MORE THAN FIVE DAYS, THEY PROVIDE YOU WITH A LOANER AS WELL.

SO JUST THOUGHT IT WAS, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING CREATIVE THAT WE SAW THAT WE HADN'T SEEN.

AND THAT'S ALSO AN OPTION FOR THE SWEEPER AS WELL, A LEASING OPTION OF THAT NATURE. AND IF THERE'S NO QUESTIONS ON THE VACUORTRUG, I'LL MOSEY ON INTO THE SWEEPER.

HOW MANY DAYS A MONTH, IF EVERYTHING'S WONDERFUL AND LIFE IS GOOD AND READY TO GO? HOW MANY DAYS A MONTH ARE YOUR CREWS USING THE FACTOR TRUCK? THEY HAVE FOUR TO FIVE DAYS A WEEK. A WEEK? YEP. ALL DAY EVERY DAY? ALL DAY EVERY DAY.

YEAH. SO WE ALSO USE IT TO HELP CLEAR OUT CULVERTS AND THINGS THAT ARE NATURE. SO IF WE'RE NOT USING IT FOR, YOU KNOW, ACTUAL SEWER MAINTENANCE, WE'RE USING IT TO HELP WITH THAT.

WITH AFTER WE GET DONE DITCH CUTTING, WE GO BACK AND TAKE CARE OF THE CULVERTS. YEAH, GOOD DEAL. OKAY, SO MOVING ON TO THE SWEEPER, WE HAVE HAD, WE HAVE SPENT SOME QUITE A BIT OF MONEY ON THE SWEEPER AS WELL.

I BELIEVE THAT WE'RE ON A FIVE YEAR LEASE WITH THIS THROUGH ENTERPRISE. THIS LEASE IS GOING TO BE UP. I PUT AUGUST.

I APOLOGIZE. I WAS. WRONG DATE.

I'D GOTTEN THE WRONG DATE OFF OF OUR ENTERPRISE LIST. IT ACTUALLY EXPIRES ON JUNE 30TH.

COST OF A BRAND NEW ONE IS 350,000.

AGAIN, THAT'S GENERAL FUND FUND 01. YOU KNOW, WE'VE SPENT $46,000 ON REPAIRS. ENTERPRISE DOESN'T COVER THE REPAIRS.

IT'S JUST A FLAT RATE FOR THE LEASE. AND WITH THIS ONE, WE DIDN'T HAVE A BUYOUT OPTION EITHER. SO WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, WITH OUR CURRENT SITUATION, ONCE WE GET TO JUNE 30, WE CAN, I BELIEVE WE CAN JUST KIND OF EXTEND THE LEASE AND KEEP PAYING ON IT OR GET IN, YOU KNOW, GET A NEWER ONE AND START A NEW LEASE ON A NEW PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THROUGH ENTERPRISE.

OR WE COULD, YOU KNOW, GO FOR AGAIN ANOTHER LEASING OPTION SIMILAR TO WHAT I MENTIONED WITH THE BACK TO TRUCK. SO THOSE ARE KIND OF OUR OPTIONS AT THIS POINT. I KNOW WE ARE GOING TO MOVE AWAY FROM OUR CURRENT SWEEPER.

IT'S A MECHANICAL SWEEPER.

IT'S, YOU KNOW, I'M SURE EVERYONE HAS MAYBE GOTTEN A COMPLAINT ABOUT US WHEN WE SWEEP AND MAYBE NOT PICKING ALL THOSE THINGS UP. THIS SWEEPER, VACUUM SWEEPER IS GOING TO WORK A LOT BETTER TO ACTUALLY PICK UP LEAVES AND ALL THOSE KIND OF THINGS.

A MECHANICAL SWEEPER IS MORE FOR HEAVIER DEBRIS, LIKE HEAVIER ROAD DEBRIS.

SOMETHING LIKE TXDOT WOULD USE DOWN THEIR HIGHWAYS VERSUS SOMETHING WE WOULD USE ON A REGISTER RESIDENTIAL STREET WITH A LOT OF TREES AND SMALL BRANCHES, THINGS OF THAT NATURE AT THE SEWER PLANT. YEP.

WE HAVE IT BACK THERE AND WE'VE BEEN FILLING. SO THERE'S A BIG POND BACK THERE THAT'S BEEN THERE FOR YEARS WHEN WE DUG TO CREATE THE LEVEE AROUND THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.

AND SO WE JUST SLOWLY FILL THAT IN WITH ALL THE DEBRIS.

YEAH. AND IT'D ALSO BE. WE'D ALSO LIKE TO MOVE AWAY FROM.

THEY ALSO HAVE THESE REALLY NICE NON CDL UNITS THAT WOULD GIVE US A LOT OF VERSATILITY BECAUSE WE WOULD NEED A CDL DRIVER. WE COULD PUT ANYONE IN IT WHO KNOWS HOW TO OPERATE IT AND THEN GET AFTER IT. SO IT'LL GIVE US A.

WE'RE ABLE TO GET MORE TIME OUT THERE SWEEPING VERSUS NOW WE

[00:35:01]

HAVE TO HAVE A FREE CDL DRIVER TO GO DO IT. DO YOU ONLY USE A STREET SWEEPER ON CONCRETE STREETS? YOU CAN USE IT ON ASPHALT. IT'S JUST IF IT HAS TO HAVE A CURB, REALLY.

BECAUSE, I MEAN, IT'S REALLY HARD TO REALLY GET THAT BROOM UP AGAINST SOMETHING TO PICK EVERYTHING UP. BUT WITH A VACUUM SWEEPER, I WILL SAY WE COULD GO WITHOUT A CURB AND PRETTY GOOD WITH IT. SO.

AND I DO KNOW WE HAVE SOME STREETS IN TOWN THAT HAVE ASPHALT WITH A CURB. YES. YEAH.

YEP. ARE THEY. ARE YOU SWEEPING THOSE NOW? YES.

AND THEN THE EXCAVATOR. LET ME ASK REAL QUICK ON THAT SWEEP FOR THE VACUUM, MAYBE I MISHEARD OR DIDN'T UNDERSTAND YOU. DO WE.

DO WE FEAR OR. IT SOUNDS TO ME I'M MAYBE PROJECTING HERE A LITTLE BIT FEAR. MORE MAINTENANCE ISSUES WITH HAVING TO DEAL WITH A VACUUM SHOULD NOT.

NOT FROM WHAT. NOT FROM WHAT MANUFACTURERS TELL US. LET'S KIND OF APPLES TO APPLES AS FAR AS MAINTENANCE COST WITH DIFFERENT KINDS OF SWEEPERS.

SO WE'D EXPECT A VERY SIMILAR MAINTENANCE. CORRECT? CORRECT. ALL RIGHT, AND THEN I'LL MOVE ON TO THE EXCAVATOR.

THIS. THIS ONE IS ACTUALLY THAT WE'VE BEEN USING FOR OUR METER CREW. THEY'VE BEEN, YOU KNOW, THEY'VE.

THEY'VE FIXED WATER LEAKS AS WELL AND INSTALL OF OUR NEW METERS AND TAPS THAT ARE GOING IN AND ALL THESE NEW NEIGHBORHOODS, NEW HOMES. THE EXCAVATOR THEY'RE CURRENTLY USING, IT'S. IT'S OVER 15 YEARS OLD NOW.

IT'S ALSO REALLY SMALL. IT DOESN'T REALLY FIT OUR NEEDS.

I'M NOT SURE WHY WE PURCHASED THAT SMALLER ONE THAT THAT MANY YEARS AGO.

I'M SURE THERE WAS A REASON AT THE TIME, BUT I DON'T KNOW OF IT. BUT, YEAH, WE'RE LOOKING TO REPLACE THIS ONE. COST OF A NEW ONE IS $60,000.

THAT WOULD BE OUT OF FUND 03.

AND AGAIN, THE EXISTING ONE IS JUST NOT MEETING OUR NEEDS.

AND ALSO WE'RE HAVING ISSUES WITH IT STARTING TO OVERHEAT.

AND IT'S, I BELIEVE, A 6 TO $8,000 REPAIR TO KEEP IT FROM OVERHEATING. RIGHT NOW WE'RE ABLE TO USE IT FOR SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE WE GET OVERHEATED. SO THEY'RE ABLE TO STILL UTILIZE IT TO SOME EXTENT.

IT'S JUST A LITTLE CUMBERSOME FOR THEM. SO THAT'S. THAT'S ONE WE'RE LOOKING TO REPLACE NEXT.

AND I JUST FEEL LIKE THAT WOULD REALLY HELP US WITH OUR EFFICIENCY, HAVING A NEW UNIT AND ALSO A LARGER UNIT. THOSE ARE OUR TOP THREE.

I DON'T KNOW IF Y' ALL WANTED ME TO DIVE OR ELABORATE ON ANY OF THE OTHER ONES ON THIS CURRENT NEEDS LIST.

I DEFINITELY CAN IF Y' ALL DESIRE. I THINK YOU NEED TO LOOK AT ALL THREE OF THESE. COME UP THE CREATIVE WAY.

YOU NEED TO MEET WITH SUSIE AND FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU CAN DO. I MEAN, MY OPINION WOULD BE MAINTENANCE THE BACKER TRUCK. IF YOU WANT TO REPLACE THE SWEEPER, WE FIGURE OUT A WAY TO SIT ON THE EXCAVATOR.

WE TRY TO FUND BUYING THAT ONE.

THAT WOULD GET YOU SOME TYPE OF COMBINATION. OKAY.

BACK TO TRUCK. WE'RE JUST NOT THERE. THOSE FUNDS, EVEN AT THE LEASE OPTION, THAT'S 120,000 A YEAR.

YES. NOW HOW WE CAN GET THERE.

SLEEP ROOM'S A LITTLE BIT EASIER TO HIDE OFF.

YES. AND I'LL GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE VACTOR TRUCK WHEN IT WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED, SEE IF I CAN FIND ANY MORE DOCUMENTATION ON WHAT THE. WHAT THEIR LIFESPAN ON.

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE.

TO DO THAT TO FIX THAT BLOWER, CORRECT? YES. AND I HAVEN'T GOTTEN AN ANSWER YET FROM THE MANUFACTURER ON BECAUSE THEY DID TEST ON THE TANK.

AND THE TANK, THE ACTUAL THICKNESS OF THE METAL HAS STARTED.

STARTED TO THIN DOWN. AND SO I'M NOT SURE IF THEY'RE GOING TO RECOMMEND US TO REPLACE IT.

IF THEY'RE GOING TO SAY, YOU KNOW, YOU GOT A FEW MORE YEARS OUT OF IT OR WHAT? WE'RE STILL WAITING ALL THAT ANSWER BEFORE WE ACTUALLY MAKE THAT MOVE.

THREE MORE YEARS. OKAY.

ALL RIGHTY. ANYTHING ELSE? YES. JUST WANTED TO MENTION IT BECAUSE IT'S IT'S BASED ON DATES AND YES, WE DID.

YES, WE DID. BUT BOTH OF THEM WERE VERY AGED. AND I'M JUST GOING BY WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO GO BY TO CYCLE EQUIPMENT OUT OF.

THAT'S ALL. WE'RE TRYING TO CREATE A PROCESS AND STICK

[00:40:01]

TO IT. AGAIN, IT'S A PROCESS THAT DIDN'T EXIST BEFORE.

SO WE'RE JUST TRYING TO RIGHT THE SHIP HERE.

UNDERSTAND NOT ALL THESE THINGS ARE GOING TO GET BOUGHT AT ONE TIME. WE GET THAT.

WE JUST REALLY WANT TO LIST THINGS OUT AS WE SHOULD. AND THE SKIDS TIER, I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE PARKS THING. AND.

OKAY, SO THAT'S A. THAT'S A PARKS PURCHASE, CORRECT? ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

JASON'S LIKE, WHAT. YEAH.

WHAT'S THE OLDEST PIECE OF EQUIPMENT YOU HAVE? OLDEST PIECE OF EQUIPMENT AT THIS POINT, I BELIEVE IT WAS EITHER THE GREAT ALL OR THAT OTHER DUMP TRUCK.

IT'S THE OTHER DUMP TRUCK.

YEAH. THE.

THE ORIGINAL DUMP TRUCK WE HAD BEFORE WE ORDERED THE NEW ONE.

THAT ONE IS TURNING 20 YEARS OLD. HUH.

GET THE NEW DUMP TRUCK YET? WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GET IT AT THE MID JUNE. THEY SAID WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GET IT.

YEAH, WE GOT IT.

THEY TOLD US MID MAY LIKE A MONTH OR TWO AGO. SO WE GOT A LITTLE EXCITED, BUT THEN THEY PUSHED IT BACK TO MID JUNE. SO WE'RE KIND OF BACK TO OUR ORIGINAL TIMETABLE NOW.

ARE YOU WAITING ON ANY OTHER NEW EQUIPMENT? NO. SUZY, A SKID STEER FOR PARKS CAN BE FUNDED THROUGH. I KNOW WHAT HE WANTED.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO ME? I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE KUBOTA EXCAVATOR AND THE RED BEAR EXCAVATOR.

THEY'RE ALL REALLY THE SAME, SIMILAR PRODUCT. JUST KUBOTA IS WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE.

SO THAT'S JUST WHY I LISTED IT THAT WAY. WE CURRENTLY HAVE A KUBOTA. NOT TO SAY WE NEED TO REPLACE IT WITH A KUBOTA, BUT JUST SIMILAR SIZE, YOU KNOW, CAT KUBOTA CASE, THEY ALL MAKE SIMILAR SIZE EXCAVATORS ALL AROUND THE REALLY RELATIVELY SAME PRICE.

THAT'S ABOUT 60,000. THAT'S THE COST WE'RE LOOKING AT FOR ALL THE COMPETITORS RIGHT AROUND THAT PRICE RANGE. HOW MANY EXCAVATORS DO YOU HAVE? SO WE HAVE FOUR ALTOGETHER, INCLUDING THE REALLY SMALL ONE THAT'S OVERHEATING.

WE HAVE THAT LARGER ONE, BUT THE LARGER ONES JUST NOT ALWAYS FEASIBLE IN FRONT YARDS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. CORRECT.

YES.

AND AGAIN, JUST LIST OF, YOU KNOW, THINGS AS WE. AS WE SHOULD CYCLE THEM OUT BASED ON THEIR AGE. THAT'S.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE FOCUSED ON WITH. WITH OUR YOU KNOW, I GUESS FLEET PROGRAM THAT WE'RE TRYING TO REALLY CREATE AND GET OFF THE GROUND. THIS IS ALL OF YOUR CAPITAL NEEDS.

ALL OF OUR CAPITAL NEEDS THAT WE WOULD HAVE LISTED OUT FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS BECAUSE THESE ARE THINGS THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THESE THINGS WERE AGED OUT, YOU KNOW, A YEAR AGO, TWO YEARS AGO, THREE YEARS AGO, THOSE THINGS. SO THEY ALL GOT CUT OF COMPACTED ON THIS LIST. NOW WHEN WE MOVE FORWARD TO THE NEXT FOLLOWING YEAR, WE PUSH OUT TO LIKE THE 28, 29 FISCAL YEAR.

YOU'LL SEE THE LIST IS GOING TO DROP A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE WE'RE FINALLY KIND OF GETTING CAUGHT UP TO THOSE NEEDS. WELL, I MEAN, MINUS. WE'RE GOING TO BE PUSHING SOME OF THESE FORWARD, OF COURSE, BUT JUST MOVING FORWARD, WE'RE GOING TO CYCLE OUT A LOT LESS PER YEAR.

CAN YOU DO ME A FAVOR, PLEASE? YES. LET'S TAKE A.

YOUR VERY, VERY BRIGHT SPREADSHEET.

LET'S ADD DOLLAR VALUES, REPLACEMENT VALUE. OKAY. LET'S CATEGORIZE THIS STUFF INTO WHAT THEY ARE.

AND THEN SOME OF THE STUFF I DON'T NEED, IF COUNCIL WANTS TO KEEP IT, WE CAN. I DON'T NEED TO KNOW THE GAS CARD NUMBER. I DON'T NEED TO KNOW THE GPS ON IT.

YOU CAN CONDENSE THIS DOWN A LITTLE BIT AND THEN ALSO ADD THE DEPARTMENT THAT USES IT MOST. IF IT'S A MULTI, THEN IT'S MULTI. BUT I DO LIKE HOW YOU.

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HOW IT'S GOING TO BE FUNDED THROUGH THE COLOR CODES, BUT YOU ACTUALLY TAKE ALL THE COLOR CODES AWAY AND JUST GIVE ME A COLUMN FOR IT AND SAY FUNDED THROUGH FUNDO THREE, FUNDO TWO. OKAY. THAT WAY IT'S EASIER FOR THE COUNCIL TO DIGEST AND UNDERSTAND MIX.

AND THEN ALSO YOU DON'T HAVE THE REPLACEMENT YEAR IN HERE.

YOU HAVE THE PURCHASE DATE, BUT THERE'S REPLACEMENT DATE, BUT NOT ALL OF THEM HAVE A DATE. SO GIVE US YOUR BEST GUESS.

[00:45:01]

OKAY, WELL, YOU WILL DEFINITELY EXPAND ON THAT. WE'LL MAKE SURE WE GET SOMETHING ON EVERYTHING. WE CAN LINE OUT HOW MUCH YOU'RE ASKING FOR EVERY YEAR.

YES, YES. AND THAT'S THE PURPOSE FOR US TO GET TO THAT POINT WHERE WE'RE ABLE TO DO THAT. YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST REALLY CONVOLUTED BECAUSE WE GOT SOME THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE, BASED ON OUR TIMELINE, SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED ALREADY.

I'LL BE HONEST, ALL THIS INFORMATION I ACTUALLY FIGURED WAS MORE FOR YOUR, I GUESS, KEEPING TRACK OR TRACKING THAN IT IS NECESSARY FOR COUNCIL TO. NO LICENSE NUMBER. YEAH.

AND I WAS JUST KIND OF TO SHOW YOU ALL KIND OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO, YOU KNOW, BUT.

BUT WE WILL CONVOLUTE SOMETHING DOWN JUST FOR.

FOR COUNCIL PURPOSES.

THANK YOU. NOT. LET'S BRING THIS BACK BEFORE BUDGET BACK AT MID YEAR.

ALL RIGHT? THAT'S NEXT MONTH, RIGHT? YOU'RE BRING THOSE BACK YEAR ADJUSTMENTS IN MAY.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.

[9. Discussion and possible action on the proposed 90% plans for the 288B Downtown Improvements. ]

THANK YOU. ITEM NUMBER NINE, DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION TO PROPOSE 90% PLANS FOR THE 288B DOWNTOWN IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT.

GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. WE'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU ALL A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE 288B DOWNTOWN IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. THIS PROJECT, WE HAVE BROUGHT YOU PLANS AT THE 30, AT THE 60, WE'RE AT THE 90 NOW.

I WANT TO TALK TO Y' ALL ABOUT TRUDEAU. I'M GOING TO SPLIT IT UP A LITTLE BIT.

OKAY? SO I WANT TO TALK ABOUT FROM THE CURBS OUT WHERE THE SIDEWALKS AND ALL THE PAVERS AND STUFF ARE, AND THEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE PHONE CALLS THAT WE'VE GOTTEN AND THE CONTACTS WE'VE BEEN GETTING FROM TXDOT THE LAST TWO DAYS ABOUT INSIDE THE CURBS ON THE ROADWAY, BECAUSE THERE'S SOME THINGS GOING ON RIGHT NOW THAT IS GOING TO CHANGE QUITE A BIT OR COULD CHANGE QUITE A BIT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON.

OKAY, SO I PROVIDED YOU THE PLANS AND 90% SET OF PLANS IF Y' ALL HAD A CHANCE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. IF Y' ALL HAVE ANY PARTICULAR QUESTIONS BEFORE I LAUNCH OFF INTO IT, AND I'M NOT SURE IF Y' ALL WANT ME TO GO OVER PAGE BY PAGE.

THERE ARE A COUPLE PLACES THAT I'D REALLY LIKE TO KIND OF GO OVER AND MAKE SURE THE COUNCIL IS GOOD.

ONE OF THE LOCATIONS THAT I DO WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT IS AT THE INTERSECTION OF.

APOLOGIZE. MY MARKERS FELL OFF WHEN I WAS COMING IN.

CAN Y' ALL PULL THAT UP ON THE SCREEN? LET ME WALK OVER THERE AND I CAN SHOW Y'.

ALL. PROBABLY BE EASIER.

ALL RIGHT, CAN YOU GO TO THE NEXT PAGE? WANT THE POINTER? NO, GO AHEAD. I'LL JUST POINT IT BE FOR ME. I GO TO THE NEXT PAGE.

NEXT ONE UP. YEAH, GO. I MEAN, DOWN.

I'M SORRY. NEXT ONE. NEXT ONE.

OKAY. THERE'S A COUPLE PLACES SUCH AS HERE, THAT THEY'VE GOT A BRICK RETAINING WALL DUE TO THE LIMITATIONS OF THE RIGHT OF WAY. SOME OF THESE ARE GOING TO BE FAIRLY INTRICATE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT.

AND I'LL WALK YOU ALL THROUGH.

I'LL SHOW Y' ALL THIS PARTICULAR INTERSECTION HERE.

THIS IS AT MAGNOLIA.

THIS IS 288. THIS IS THE ELEVATED SIDEWALKS AND STUFF THAT WE HAVE HERE. ALL RIGHT.

SO THE WAY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO COME IN IS WE'LL HAVE A CURB RAMP HERE. THIS WILL BE A FLAT LANDING PAD AND PEOPLE CAN WALK UP THE STAIRS. UP THIS WAY.

THERE'LL BE RAMPS FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE NEEDING HANDICAP ACCESS THAT WILL COME UP AND COME AROUND AND COME THROUGH HERE, WHICH WILL CREATE AN AREA RIGHT HERE THAT CAN BE OPENED UP TO DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN BRICK PAVERS. I DON'T KNOW IF Y' ALL WANT TO DO SOME PLANTINGS THAT WOULD TAKE SOME IRRIGATION AND MAINTENANCE OR MAYBE SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS LIKE A ROCK BED, YOU KNOW, WITH SOME BOULDERS, SOMETHING LIKE THAT, TO JUST KIND OF BREAK UP THE PAVERS AND THE.

AND THE STREET LIGHTS AND THE THINGS.

RIGHT NOW IT'S KIND OF OPEN.

THEY REALLY HAVEN'T HAD A. I SAY YOU CAN SEE RIGHT THERE.

IT'S KIND OF. WE ALREADY HAVE, HUH? IT'S ALL GOING TO BE COMING OUT. A WHOLE.

THE WHOLE INTERSECTION IS GOING TO CHANGE. JUST SO I'M NOT

[00:50:01]

CLEAR. THAT'S EL PATIO.

YES. THIS IS EL PATIO. THIS IS ALL BRICK PAVER THROUGH HERE? YES.

SO THIS IS ALL COMING OUT? YES. BUT THE CANOPY STAYS THE SAME UNDER HERE, RIGHT? CORRECT. THEY'RE GOING TO PUSH THE CURBS OUT.

THE OFFICER WILL BE TIED BACK IN TO GIVE YOU A FIVE FOOT WIDE, OR, SORRY, EIGHT FOOT WIDE SIDEWALK.

THEY'LL BE ELEVATED. YOU CAN SEE THE TWO LIFTS HERE.

IN ORDER TO DO THAT, THEY HAVE TO. YOU'LL HAVE A STAIR HERE, BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE THAT RAMP TO GET HANDICAPPED PEOPLE UP AND AROUND TO GET ACCESS TO THESE SHOPS. THEY'RE TRYING TO BRING EVERYTHING INTO ADA COMPLIANCE.

SO IT COMES OUT INTO THE ROAD? YEAH. THIS HERE, FROM THIS SECTION HERE IS ALL FLAT WITH THE ROAD. HERE'S YOUR CURB RAMP.

IT COMES IN, YOU'RE FLAT HERE WITH THE TOP OF CURB. YOU GOT STAIRS TO COME UP AND THEN YOU GET ACCESS. IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS OR ANY SPECIAL NEEDS, IF YOU HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS, YOU WILL HAVE TO COME UP THE RAMPS RIGHT AROUND THIS WAY TO GET ACCESS TO IT.

SO THAT CREATES AN AREA RIGHT HERE WITH RETAINING WALLS THAT'S OPEN FOR SOMETHING TO BE PUT IN THERE FOR THAT AREA. AND SO THEY'VE ASKED US, WHAT WOULD Y' ALL LIKE? WOULD Y' ALL LIKE SOME ROCKS, YOU KNOW, LIKE A ROCK GARDEN TO WHERE IT'S LOW MAINTENANCE.

YOU KNOW, YOU STILL HAVE SOME WEEDING AND STUFF.

YOU WANT TO PUT BRICK PAVERS BACK IN THERE WHERE THERE'S REALLY LOW MAINTENANCE. WE WANT TO TRY TO PUT AN IRRIGATION LINE IN THERE WITH SOME PLANTINGS, WHICH IS GOING TO BE EXPENSIVE BECAUSE IT'LL BE MAINTENANCE FROM THAT POINT ON.

BUT JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHAT.

WHAT COUNCILS. SO I'M PREPARED.

PAVERS AND THE ROCKS SOUND NICE JUST TO BREAK IT UP, BUT I FEEL LIKE THAT'S.

I FEEL LIKE THAT'S A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN. HAPPENED.

SO I WOULD.

I THINK YOU COULD HAVE BRICK PAVERS BE NICE. IT DOES ALLOW PEOPLE TO CONGREGATE THERE TOO.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, TALKING ABOUT HAVING A SHOWS THERE IN DOWNTOWN.

MAKE THEM COLORFUL. YEAH. YOU CAN DO OPTIONS COLORS AND TEXTURES.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST MY OPINION. NEWEST MAINTENANCE POSSIBLE. OKAY.

IS THAT KIND OF THE DIRECTION THE COUNCIL SEES? OKAY, THAT'S FINE. YEAH. OKAY.

THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU ALL ABOUT. I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH ALL THE SHEETS.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE LAYOUTS OF ANYTHING? JUST CURRENTLY.

THAT'S WHERE THE EXISTING SIDE IS RIGHT THERE. YEAH. THIS IS GOING TO COME OUT, RIGHT? YES.

IT'S A BUBBLE. THEY'RE PUSHING IT OUT INTO THE ROAD IN ORDER TO GET THE ROOM. THEY CALL THEM BUBBLE OR NOSES.

BUBBLE. NOSES OUT. IT DOES SEVERAL THINGS.

IT REDUCES THE LENGTH OF THE CROSSING BETWEEN THE TWO. SO YOU GOT A LITTLE BIT SAFER CROSSING.

YOU'RE NOT IN THE STREET AS LONG 2.

IT GIVES YOU THE AREA THAT YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO NAVIGATE THROUGH THERE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. SO IS THAT SAYING THAT WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE STREET CORRECT PARKING ON MAGNOLIA ANYMORE? JUST RIGHT HERE IN THESE AREAS. JUST IN THE SPOTS WHERE YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO PARK.

AREAS WHERE THE. WHERE THE INTERSECTION, BASICALLY. CLOSE TO THE INTERSECTION.

YEAH, CLOSE TO THE INTERSECTIONS. IT'LL.

IT'LL KEEP.

YEAH, WE'RE BUBBLING THEM ALL OUT. YES, SIR. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. THERE ARE SOME ISSUES THAT WE'RE TRYING TO WORK OUT. ISSUES YOU CAN SEE IN THE RED THROUGHOUT THE PACKET THAT I SENT YOU.

THOSE ARE AREAS THAT ARE ACTUALLY IDENTIFIED TO BE IMPROVED THAT ARE OUTSIDE THE EXISTING RIGHT OF WAY. SO I'VE BEEN ASKING THEM WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING THE RIGHT OF ENTRY OR TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT. SO THEY'RE WORKING ON WHO THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE AND WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO START TRYING TO ACQUIRE THOSE.

IF YOU GO UP TO THE FIRST TWO SHEETS OR THE FIRST SHEET ACTUALLY GO BACK UP TO THE.

KEEP GOING UP. RIGHT.

THERE IS ONE. THIS IS RIGHT HERE AT MYRTLE IN 288. THEY HAVE SOME IMPROVEMENTS THROUGH HERE THAT THEY ARE GOING TO WANT TO DO IN ORDER TO TIE IN THAT SIDE SIDEWALK.

SOME OF THE DRIVEWAY ASPECTS TOO WILL BE GOING ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. CONTINUE ON UP. CITY HALL WILL BE CONTACTED.

THIS IS AT MULBERRY. THEY WILL BE GOING ON TO THE CITY'S PROPERTY ON SOME OF THESE AREAS THAT ARE

[00:55:01]

IDENTIFIED IN THE APPARENT RIGHT OF WAY.

SO THEY, THEY WILL BE COORDINATING WITH Y' ALL TO GET A RIGHT OF EASEMENT ON THOSE AS WELL.

SO THERE'S SEVERAL THINGS THAT JUST LINGERING THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. I REALLY THINK PATE DAWSON HAS DONE A FANTASTIC JOB WORKING WITHIN THE RIGHT OF WAYS. AND AS DIFFICULT AS THIS SECTION IS FOR IMPROVEMENT, JUST BECAUSE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF THE EXISTING RIGHT OF WAY AND HOW THINGS WERE CONSTRUCTED BACK IN THE 40S, THEY'VE DONE A PRETTY GOOD JOB.

SO REAL QUICK, STAY ON THAT INTERSECTION. THAT IS A VERY IMPORTANT INTERSECTION IN THE CITY. YES, SIR.

SHRINKING DOWN THE LANE, YOU ARE MULBERRY, YOU ARE BRINGING IT BACK TO A LITTLE BIT HERE. VERY LITTLE HERE. SEE THE CURB LINE HERE, YOU'RE MATCHING THAT CURVE LINE THERE.

YOU'RE MATCHING THE CURB LINE HERE. THIS ONE HERE, YOU'RE KIND OF COMING OUT A LITTLE BIT FOR THAT RIGHT TURN. IT'LL BE A STRAIGHT THROUGH RIGHT TURN ON ONE LANE, LEFT TURN.

THEY WERE ABLE TO GET TO WHERE THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE INTERSECTIONS REMAIN PRETTY MUCH THE SAME. WELL, ON THE SOUTH, ON THE EAST SIDE OF ALASKA, IN FRONT OF, THEY'VE GOT THAT CORDONED OFF AREA. SO THEY'RE ABLE TO UTILIZE THAT SPACE TO PUSH THE ROAD OUT ON THE NORTH SIDE OF IT.

BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE, THAT'S ALREADY PRETTY TIGHT.

ON THE WEST SIDE OF ALASKA.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

SHRINKING THAT DOWN IS GOING TO BE VERY, VERY TIGHT. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, TRYING TO KEEP FOUR LANES IN THERE BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT TWO TURNS.

THAT'S, THAT'S, YOU GOT, YOU GOT A, YOU'RE LOSING ONE OF THE LANES GOING THROUGH BECAUSE YOU ONLY HAVE A RIGHT AND A LEFT TURN.

I'M. I'M ON THE WEST SIDE OF ALASKA. OKAY.

ON MULBERRY. ON MULBERRY, RIGHT THERE. OKAY.

THIS LITTLE INTERSECTION HERE, IT'S ALREADY PRETTY TIGHT THROUGH THERE BECAUSE YOU HAVE COMING IN, TAKING A RIGHT, GOING STRAIGHT, AND YOU GOT THIS TURN, LANE AND THEN YOU GOT THE LANE OVER HERE. SO YOU GOT FOUR THROUGH HERE. BUT I ALREADY SEE PEOPLE ALMOST HIT EACH OTHER ON A DAILY BASIS THROUGH THERE.

THERE. THEY CRAM THOSE ROADS IN RIGHT THERE. OKAY.

WE'RE GOING TO TIGHTEN IT UP EVEN MORE.

WELL, THAT RIGHT THERE IS THE EXISTING CURVE, RIGHT? THAT'S THE EXISTING CURVE HERE. SO ARE THEY NOT GOING OUT ANY FURTHER ON THAT SIDE? NO.

OKAY. WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER SIDE OF IT? AGAIN, THIS IS THE EXISTING CURVE. YOU SEE THE BROKEN SIDEWALKS STUFF IN HERE, IT'S, IT'S IN THE SAME PLACE.

SO THE SIDEWALK WIDTH IS NOT CONSISTENT. THAT IS ONE OF MY COMMENTS IN THERE, IT'S FOR THE MOST PART IT'S 8FT UNTIL YOU GET TOWARDS CEDAR AND THEN FOR SOME THEY, THEY PUT IT DOWN TO FIVE FEET IN THERE AND THERE'S AREA TO BUMP IT BACK OUT TO EIGHT FEET. THERE IS AN AREA THERE TOO.

SO THAT WAS ONE OF MY COMMENTS.

I'M GONNA, I'VE ALREADY SAT DOWN AND WALKED HIM THROUGH THIS. I WAS GONNA COLLECT ANY COMMENTS I RECEIVED FROM COUNCIL TONIGHT AND IT'S GIVING 01, 1, 1 COMMENT.

IF YOU'LL GO TO GO DOWN, KEEP GOING DOWN. SOME OF THE PLACES YOU'RE LIMITED BY RIGHT AWAY SO THEY, THEY WILL SQUEEZE DOWN FOR A BIT. BUT FOR THE MAJORITY, 95, 99% OF IT'S GOING TO BE 8 FOOT WIDE SIDEWALKS.

HEY JOHN, REAL QUICK, THANK YOU ASKING SHARE IT BACK ON. THANK YOU. OKAY.

AND THEN HERE IS THAT AREA THAT I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT JUST PAST LOCUST WHERE IT'S FIVE FOOT. WE'VE GOT PLENTY OF RIGHT AWAY IN THERE TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE IT 8FT ALL THE WAY THROUGH. SO THAT'S GOING TO BE ONE OF MY COMMENTS.

SO IT'S CONSISTENT. YOU CAN SEE ON THE SOUTH SIDE YOU GOT AN EIGHT FOOT OVER HERE. YOU KNOW YOU'RE.

IT'S FIVE FOOT. WELL, 11 FOOT RIGHT HERE. SO WHAT INTERSECTION IS THAT? LOCUST.

NOW ONE THING IN THE PLAN SETS, YOU CAN SEE THE SIGNALIZATIONS AND THE LIGHTINGS AND THE PEDESTRIAN POLES THROUGHOUT. I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO MUCH

[01:00:01]

IN THERE. I DON'T WANT TO CONFUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE.

BUT ESSENTIALLY ALL THE INTERSECTIONS THAT GOT POWER OR GOT SIGNALIZATIONS AND PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS WILL GET NEW PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS ALL THE WAY THROUGH. HOWEVER, THAT CEDAR, IT WILL REMAIN GALVANIZED POLES. THEY WILL REPLACE ONE OF THE POLES TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY, BUT IT'LL GO BACK AS THE WAY THE OTHER ONE IS.

SO YOU DON'T HAVE ONE DECORATIVE BLACK POLE AND THE REST ARE GALVANIZED. SO IT'LL KEEP THE CONSISTENCY OF THAT INTERSECTION. WHAT ABOUT THE POWER LINES? POWER LINES.

WE'VE. THERE'S JUST. THEY'VE GOT TO DO SOME OF THOSE POWER LINES.

YEAH. WE ALL KNOW AT THE CORNER OF CEDAR AND VELASCO. I'M SURPRISED MORE PEOPLE HAVEN'T TAKEN THAT PULL OUT.

IT IS RIGHT UP AGAINST THE ROAD. YEAH, WE'VE ASKED HIM FOR 15, 20 YEARS TO FIX THIS.

RIGHT TIME TO DO IT.

BRING IT UP AND TALK TO HIM ABOUT IT. I CAN MAKE THAT AS A COMMENT. WE JUST AS PART OF A.

THEY TOLD US THAT IF WE EVER DID THIS PROJECT THAT WAS GOING TO BE ADDRESSED. OKAY. SO NOW'S THE TIME.

OKAY. OTHER THAN THAT, EVERYTHING HAS KIND OF BEEN ADDRESSED.

LIKE I SAID.

THERE'S SOME DRIVEWAYS AND THINGS LIKE THAT OF THAT NATURE. THAT'LL HAVE TO BE DONE. IF YOU'LL GO DOWN THE BIG ONE, I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU ALL ABOUT.

KEEP GOING DOWN. KEEP GOING DOWN. IT'LL BE QUITE A BIT DOWN.

GO TO WHERE YOU SEE STREET SIGNS. RIGHT THERE. OKAY.

SO THIS IS AT ORANGE AND VELASCO. SO WE'RE GONNA GO FROM THE DIRECTION WE HAVE WITH COUNCIL IS WE'RE GONNA GO WITH BLACK AND WHITE AND MATCH THE BLACK POLES. AND THE ONE THING THAT WE WANTED TO LOOK AT WAS THE A FOR ANGLETON HERE.

I JUST NEED TO GET CONFIRMATION THAT Y' ALL ARE OKAY WITH THAT. MARTHA, YOU OKAY? IT LOOKS GOOD TO ME. WHAT WOULD THE OTHER OPTION BE? I GUESS IS MY QUESTION.

THERE WAS ACTUALLY ONE THAT HE SENT TO US THE OTHER DAY, WASN'T THERE? YES, HE DID. I DON'T HAVE THAT WITH ME RIGHT NOW. IT DOESN'T.

KIND OF HARD TO READ THE LOGO. MY QUESTION IS GOING TO BE ON THE.

ON THE STREET NAME.

DO WE WANT IT LOWERCASE OR ALL CAP? I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE A CHOICE ANYMORE, DO YOU? ISN'T THERE A STANDARD? I THOUGHT THERE WAS A STANDARD OF ALL CAPITAL, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS. I COULD ASK THEM. I MEAN, WHAT WAS YOUR.

WHAT WOULD BE YOUR PREFERENCE? SAFETY THINGS. EASIER TO READ ON THE ALL CAP. YEAH.

OKAY. OKAY. TO ME, THE A.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY WAY TO DO IT, BUT TO ME, THE A SHOULD BE ON EITHER END. LIKE, YOU SEE THAT IN SOME OF THESE CITIES, THAT IT'S A SEPARATE LITTLE BOX EITHER ON THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT.

THEIR CITY LOGO.

OURS IS. I THINK OURS IS GOING TO DISAPPEAR DOWN THERE BELOW. BECAUSE THE FOND IS SKINNY.

THESE ARE LIT. YES. THAT HELPS YOU, TOO.

THEY WILL BE ILLUMINATED. WE DID LOOK AT AN ACTUAL LACK OF A BETTER WORD HUMP ON THE TOP, LIKE IN AUSTIN AND PUTTING THE A UP THERE, WHICH WOULD BE BEAUTIFUL.

BUT.

YES. SO WE TALKED ABOUT BLACK AND WHITE. IS IT A BLACK SIGN WITH WHITE WRITING OR WHITE SIGN WITH BLACK WRITING? IT'LL BE WHITE SIGN WITH BLACK LETTERING TO WHERE IT KIND OF POPS OUT.

AND LIKE MARTHA SAID, IT'S ILLUMINATED TO WHERE IT.

WHERE IT. IT'S GOING TO BE VERY VISIBLE BACKLIGHTING.

AND THE A IS IN WHAT COLOR? WE HAVE AN OPTION ON THAT. IT.

CAN THEY.

THEY SAID THEY CAN. THEY THINK THEY CAN DO IT PURPLE, IF Y' ALL WANT TO TRY THAT PURPLE OR MAYBE DO IT BLACK. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE.

BECAUSE IT'S ONLY SIX INCHES.

RIGHT. THE.

THE A ITSELF WILL BE SIX INCHES. SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE. THE A ITSELF IS SIX INCHES.

YEAH. THAT'S PRETTY LARGE. IS THAT.

I MEAN, I GUESS YOU DON'T KNOW FROM A DISTANCE. I MEAN, YOU ALWAYS LOOK AT IT FROM THE GROUND, HUH? THE STREET SIGN. THESE ARE 8 INCHES.

[01:05:02]

THIS IS 4 INCHES. SPACE BETWEEN IS 4 INCHES. THIS WILL BE 4 IN 6 INCHES.

OKAY. I JUST. I GUESS IT'S AN OPTICAL ILLUSION.

YOU KNOW, YOU PUT IT UP HIGHER AND YOU DON'T REALIZE IT'S THAT LARGE. I THINK IT LOOKS NICE. I THINK THE BLACK HOLDS UP REALLY WELL, ESPECIALLY WITH THE BLACK STREET SIGNS AND MASS ARMS AND EVERYTHING.

I'M FINE WITH IT THE WAY IT IS.

I DON'T HAVE A BIG PROBLEM EITHER WAY. I'M FINE WITH IT.

YEAH. YEAH. I HOPE THE A TURNS OUT TO BE PURPLE.

HOPE THEY CAN DO THAT. OKAY. Y' ALL WANT A PURPLE A? IDEALLY.

OKAY. CAN I. WELL, I MEAN, JUST.

CAN YOU SHOW HIM? SO THERE IS A MODEL THAT SEEMS TO BE OTHER CITIES WHERE IT'S LIKE THE LOGO IS TO THE LEFT, SAY, IN A PURPLE WITH THE WHITE POPPING OUT. I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. AND THEN THE REST IS BLACK AND WHITE.

YEAH. OKAY. WHITE AND BLACK.

OKAY. I THINK THAT MIGHT LOOK SHARP. JUST.

I DON'T KNOW. I CAN GET THAT MOCK UP AND GET IT OVER TO THE CITY, BE DISTRIBUTED TOMORROW.

THAT'S.

I MEAN, I'D LIKE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE TO THE LEFT. IT'S LIKE PURPLE WITH THE. THE A AS IN WHITE, SO IT KIND OF POPS OFF OF IT.

AND THEN LIKE A. A PURPLE BLOCK WITH A WHITE A. YES, EXACTLY.

THAT'S. YES. SHOW US BOTH.

I JUST CURIOUS. I MEAN, SO HOW TALL IS THAT ONE GOING TO BE, MA'? AM, THAT. IF YOU HAVE THE A AT THE BOTTOM.

THE A AT THE BOTTOM IS SIX INCHES. THAT'S ABOUT 15 INCHES.

OH, THAT.

THAT WHOLE SIGN. IT'S RIGHT THERE. IT'S 24 INCHES.

WOW. THAT'S A HUGE SIGN. AND YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE IT HOW MANY TIMES.

AND TXDOT APPROVES THIS? YES, MA'. AM. WELL, IF YOU PUT IT OVER TO THE SIDE, YOU MAY NOT NEED 20.

IT'LL BE HANGING OFF THE MAST ARMS. 22. IT'S GOING TO BE ON THE MAST ARMS THEMSELVES.

24 INCHES. I SAVE SOME MONEY ON THESE SIGNS OF MISTAKE AND MOVE THAT POWERFUL. IT'S TRUE.

I'VE GOT IT DOWN. I GOT IT IN MY NOTES. OKAY, SO I'LL GET Y' ALL THE MOCK UP WITH THE A ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE.

IN A PURPLE BACKGROUND WITH WHITE AND FIRST AND WHITE WITH PURPLE. PURPLE. OKAY.

I CAN'T GET OVER THIS. WHAT'S THE HEIGHT OF A STREET SIGN NOW? JUST A GREEN SIGN RIGHT NOW THAT SAYS LIKE. LIKE THESE AREN'T FOR.

THESE ARE FOR THE BIG STREET LIGHTS.

RIGHT. THE MAST ARMS AND STUFF.

IF YOU'LL GO DOWN. HE'S GOT SOME. OKAY, GOING DOWN A COUPLE STREETS.

OKAY, GO. KEEP ON GOING DOWN. I'M SORRY.

RIGHT, THAT'S VELASCO. KEEP ON GOING. MYRTLE IS GOING TO BE ONE.

KEEP GOING. WHICH STREET IS IT? THAT. CEDAR.

LET'S GO BACK UP. CEDAR'S THE LAST ONE. NOT MAGNOLIA WE DO HAVE.

IS IT MYRTLE? NO, THOSE ARE ALL 24. THOSE ARE ALL GOING TO BE OUT IN THE STREET WHERE THEY CAN SEE IT.

BUT THERE IS ONE STREET OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD THAT DOESN'T HAVE AN LIGHT.

DIDN'T HAVE A LIGHT. IT'S PROBABLY LOCUST. OKAY.

AND LET'S GO LOOK AT THE LOCUST. ALL RIGHT, GO BACK DOWN. HE MAY HAVE BEEN IN THAT MOCK UP SET THAT HE GAVE US.

I'VE GOT ONE FOR THAT. BECAUSE WE WERE ASKING THE SAME QUESTIONS ON DOWN. OKAY.

NO, THE REST OF THAT STRIKING. IF YOU CAN GO BACK TO PAGE 45, I WANT TO ASK A QUESTION ABOUT THIS SECTION. TALKED ABOUT THE RED MARKS

[01:10:01]

FOR EVERYTHING.

I ASSUME WE'RE AT 90% COMPLETION, BUT THERE'S STILL SOME THINGS QUESTIONABLE.

THIS IS ONE OF THEM.

ABOUT THE PARKING SPOTS.

WHAT'S THE ANSWER AGAIN ON THAT? THEY ARE GOING TO GET A RITE OF ENTRY FORM IS WHAT THEY'LL HAVE TO DO. OR A CONTEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT. THEY'LL HAVE TO COORDINATE WITH THE COORDINATE.

COORDINATE WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS TO GET APPROVAL TO COME BACK ONTO THOSE PROPERTIES IN THOSE AREAS IN RED THAT I MARKED UP.

BUT BASICALLY I WENT THROUGH.

FOUND WHERE THE PARENT RIGHT AWAY WAS IDENTIFIED AT ANY WORK ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE PARENT RIGHT AWAY I PUT IN RED.

SO WHAT'S THE. WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS? OKAY, SO ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS? I GOTTA. I GOTTA TALK TO Y' ALL ABOUT SOMETHING THAT'S FAIRLY IMPORTANT.

ARE WE GOOD ON THIS? ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CURVES? SO THE INSIDE OF THE CURVES.

AS OF YESTERDAY WE WERE NOTIFIED.

THE CITY WAS NOTIFIED, CITY STAFF WAS NOTIFIED THAT APPARENTLY TXDOT HAS BEEN GIVEN DIRECTION OR TXDOT HAS GIVEN THEIR ENGINEER DIRECTION THAT THEY WERE GOING TO REMOVE THE BIKE LANES FROM THE PROJECT AND THEY WERE GOING TO PUT PARKING ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET.

SO THAT WAS THE THING WE WERE TOLD YESTERDAY. CORRECT. AND THEN WE SET UP A MEETING TODAY TO GO OVER IT SO I COULD INFORM YOU ALL OF THAT.

DECISION THE MEETING AT TODAY I WAS INFORMED AT ONE O' CLOCK THAT SOMEBODY ELSE INFORMED THE DESIGN ENGINEERS THAT HANG ON, THAT'S PART OF THE GRANT. WE GOT TO HAVE A DISCUSSION INTERNALLY OF WHAT IT'S GOING TO DO. SO I HAVE NO IDEA IF THEY'RE GOING TO LEAVE THE BIKE LANES IN OR ARE THEY GOING TO REMOVE THEM AND PUT PARALLEL PARKING DOWN ONE SIDE OF 288.

THAT'S AN INTERNAL DISCUSSION GOING ON RIGHT NOW AT TXDOT AS PART OF THE GRANT APPLICATION. SO I WANTED TO ASK COUNCIL OUT OF THOSE TWO OPTIONS SO I COULD REPORT BACK. WHICH WOULD COUNCIL PREFER? BECAUSE I KNOW WE'VE TRIED TO ASK FOR THE BIKE LANES TO BE REMOVED, BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT PART OF THE PROJECT COUNCIL WANTED TO GET RID OF THE PARALLEL PARKING AND IMPROVE THE SAFETY OF THAT CORRIDOR THERE IN THAT AREA FROM THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE PROJECT.

I'M OKAY WITH KEEPING THE PARALLEL PARKING, REMOVING THE BIKE LANE. HOWEVER, WHICH WAY YOU WANT TO LOOK AT IT. I CAN'T PARALLEL PARK, SO IT'S FINE TO ME IF THEY GO AWAY.

I ALMOST SAID SOMETHING ELSE.

BARBARA, JUST WHISPER. I WAS IN FAVOR OF KEEPING THE BIKE LANES.

I'M KIDDING, I'M KIDDING.

BUT YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY COULD CLIP THAT.

SOMEBODY JUST CLIPPED IT.

INTERNET IS FOREVER. AND WHEN IT GETS BUILT HE'LL BE LIKE AND BLAME MAYOR JOHN WRIGHT. HERE HE IS SAYING HE'S IN FAVOR OF THE BLOCK.

JOHN R. THEY SHOULD LISTEN TO THE WHOLE CONVERSATION. I'M OKAY WITH KEEPING THE PARALLEL STAY ON THE EAST SIDE.

HE TOLD ME TODAY. I NOW AGAIN THINGS ARE CHANGING LIKE VERY FAST. LIKE F FASTEST I'VE EVER SEEN ANYTHING CHANGE IN A 90% PLAN SET.

YEAH, IT'S PRETTY. I MEAN THE 90% PLAN SET WAS DELIVERED A MONTH AGO. WE'VE BEEN REVIEWING IT AND THEN WE GET CALLED YESTERDAY AND HEY, THIS IS GOING TO CHANGE NOW.

YOU KNOW, NORMALLY THOSE CHANGES HAPPEN AT 30 OR 60, NOT AT 90. SO THE DIRECTION THAT I WAS TOLD IF THEY ARE GOING TO ALLOW THE PARALLEL PARKING TO STAY IN OF FRONT, REMOVE THE BIKE LANES, THEY WERE GOING TO GIVE THE OPTION TO THE CITY TO DECIDE WHAT SIDE THEY WOULD PREFER IT ON. YOUR FAVORITE CHILD.

YEAH, RIGHT. KIND OF GOING ALONG WITH THAT. WHAT HAPPENS IN FRONT OF THE COURTHOUSE AS FAR AS STAY NARROW THROUGH THERE OR IS IT WIDEN OUT AND KEEP AND CLIP? THERE'S NO PARKING ON THE FRONT OF THE COURTHOUSE, RIGHT? YEAH, THERE'S NO PARKING IN FRONT OF.

THEY'RE NOT CHANGING. BUT WILL THE WIDTH STAY THE SAME? YEAH, THE WIDTH STAY THE SAME ONLY IN THE AREAS THAT YOU CURRENTLY HAVE PARALLEL PARKING IN THE SHOPPING WHERE THE SHOPS AND STUFF ARE. THAT'S WHERE YOU'LL HAVE YOUR PRO.

IF. IF THAT GOES THROUGH. I.

LIKE I SAID, THIS IS SO FAST.

AND I'M NOT. I'M NOT.

NOT SURE.

BUT I DID. I DID WANT TO ASK SO THAT I COULD REPORT BACK TO THEM IF COUNCIL HAD THEIR

[01:15:02]

DRUTHERS.

DRUTHERS. WHAT WOULD Y' ALL PREFER? I'M GONNA SAY EAST SIDE ONLY BECAUSE OF THE PARKING LOT DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM WHAT IS PRESENTLY. WELL, I DON'T THINK WE GOTTA PICK THE SIDE JUST YET.

OKAY. BUT JUST BIKE. TR.

OR ONE SIDE OF THE STREET.

PARALLEL PARKING. OH, PARALLEL PARKING.

PARALLEL PARKING. PARALLEL PARKING. PARALLEL PARALLEL PARKING.

I'M PRETTY SURE TANNER WOULD SAY THE SAME THING. I KNOW T.

YES.

YES. OKAY. I THINK HE JUST DID A BACKFLIP.

HE'S WATCHING ONLINE. AS SOON AS THEY GET DIRECTION, WHICH WAY THEY'RE GOING TO GO. AND I DON'T WANT TO BUILD EVERYBODY UP SAYING, HEY, WE'RE GOING TO GET PARALLEL PARKING.

SURE, OF COURSE.

BUT IF WE HAD THE OPTION, IF THE OPPORTUNITY WAS THERE, THE CITY WOULD PREFER TO HAVE PARALLEL PARKING INSTEAD OF TWO BIKE. DEDICATED BIKE LANES.

YES. JUST MAKING SURE. ALL RIGHTY.

I THINK I GOT MY DIRECTION THAT I NEEDED. WHAT'S YOUR TIMELINE? TIMELINE IS SUPPOSED TO BE JUNE 27TH. THEY'LL LET THE PROJECT, WHICH MEANS THEY'LL SET IT OUT TO BED AT JUNE 27TH.

SO WE'VE GOT SOME. SOME TIME TO GO. WHAT DO YOU DO IN THE MEANTIME? WE'RE GOING TO DO THE UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS.

WE'RE STILL WAITING ON UTILITY SIGNATURES TO COME IN ON ONE OF THE UTILITY COMPANIES. AS SOON AS WE GET THAT, WE'RE READY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE BIDS. WE'LL PROBABLY BE BIDDING IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO.

IN JUNE OF 2027 WORKS FOR THAT SCHEDULE. YES, MA'.

AM.

WE'LL BE DONE WAY BEFORE THEN.

I JUST. MY THING IS, I JUST.

THE FAIR AND THE PARADE, YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING TO DO, I HOLD UP AND WAIT. AND IF I DO, CAN I GET IT DONE IN TIME? I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN OR NOT IF I WAIT. SO I'M GONNA GO LOOK AND PUT A SCHEDULE TOGETHER.

SO I'D LIKE TO HAVE THE FAIR, ESPECIALLY, YOU KNOW, THE DOWNTOWN AREA RIGHT THERE. I'D NOT LIKE IT TO BE TORE UP. SO I'M PUTTING SOME SPECIAL LANGUAGE IN THERE.

IF WE DO GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD WITH IT, THE CONTRACTOR, THE WEEK OF THE FAIR, OF THE PARADE HAS TO GO AND DO SOME CLEANUP AND MAKE SURE ALL OPEN EXCAVATIONS ARE FILLED AND COVERED AND CLOSED UP. THAT KIND OF STUFF. THAT'S IT.

ON THAT TOPIC, JOHN IS THIS WHAT THE SIGN IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE? ISH. THIS IS WHAT THEY DID IN BROWNWOOD WITH THEIR. I THINK THAT'S A SMALLER.

THE SMALLER ONE, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE SMALLER. SMALLER MASK, BUT IT'LL BE THE. THE COLOR LAYOUT.

YEAH, YEAH. NOW Y' ALL DID SAY Y' ALL WANTED TO GO WITH CAPITAL LETTERS.

CORRECT.

INSTEAD OF LOWERCASE. I'M FINE WITH THAT. I DON'T.

AFTER I LOOKED AT THAT, NOW I'M THINKING SECOND GUESS.

YEAH, LOOKS LIKE A LICENSE PLATE. YEAH, I'M OKAY WITH LOWERCASE.

LOWERCASE LETTERS. IT IS.

OKAY.

I THINK I'VE GOT EVERYTHING I NEED. I'LL PUT THIS TOGETHER AND SEND IT OFF TOMORROW.

THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT, NUMBER 10 POSSIBLE

[10. Discussion and possible action on the proposed alignment for the Brazosport Water Authority (BWA) 36 inch Transfer Water Main. ]

ACTION ON THE PROPOSED ALIGNMENT FOR THE BRAD SUPPORT WATER AUTHORITY. 36 INCH TRANSFER WATER MAINTENANCE. ALL RIGHT, COUNCIL.

WE HAVE BEEN CONTACTED BY ENGINEERING FIRM THAT IS CURRENTLY WORKING VERY PRELIMINARY ROUTE ALIGNMENT FOR A 36 INCH TRANSMISSION MAIN FROM THE BWA TO CONNECT TO THE 42 INCH. THAT'S OVER THERE OFF OF HENDERSON ON THE OTHER SIDE OF 288 IN WHAT WE CALL THE INDUSTRIAL PARK AREA. THAT'S EXISTING.

THE CURRENT TRANSMISSION MAIN IS AN 18 INCH WATER MAIN FROM THE BWA PLANT ALL THE WAY DOWN.

AND IT HAD REACHED MAXIMUM CAPACITY. THERE WAS NO MORE WATER AVAILABLE TO BE HAD FOR ANYBODY.

SO APPARENTLY THERE IS A NEED NOW FOR ADDITIONAL WATER TO BE CARRIED TO THAT 42 INCH.

WHICH IS GOOD NEWS FOR EVERYBODY BECAUSE THERE MAY BE SOME MORE AVAILABLE WATER IF EVER NEEDED. THAT'S THE PART THAT I'M CONFUSED ABOUT.

PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHERE THIS ADDITIONAL CAPACITY IS NEEDED.

IS IT ROSENBERG? I CAN'T. I

[01:20:01]

HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND THAT ANSWER.

I'VE TALKED TO DOUG. I TRIED TO GET A HOLD OF THE ENGINEER, GET THAT QUESTION. I HAVE NOT CALLED BWA.

BUT THAT IS NOT A DISTRIBUTION LINE. THAT IS A STRAIGHT TRANSMISSION MAIN TO FILL THE 42 INCH LINE. UP TO GO.

YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

BECAUSE WHERE THAT LINE'S GOING IS THIS DEVELOPMENT HERE. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE NOT GETTING THE WATER.

THEY'RE NOT INSIDE OF OUR ATJ. AND THEN I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S NOT GOING TO ASHLAND. UP HERE, HERE.

NOW I. I CAN'T TELL YOU IF THEY HAVE A. YOU KNOW, DUE TO THEM BEING THEIR OWN MUD.

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S AN AGREEMENT. CUZ WHY WOULD A LINE JUST STOP RIGHT THERE? THAT'S WHERE. THAT'S WHERE THE EXISTING 42'S AT TYING INTO THE 42.

THEY'RE TAKING THE 18, ADDING A 36. THEY'RE TYING IT INTO THE 42. THAT'S RIGHT THERE.

THAT TAKES IT TO THE UPPER.

CORRECT, CORRECT. THEY'RE TRYING TO UTILIZE THE FULL CAPACITY OF THE 42 BY COMBINING A 36 AND AN 18 INCH LINE.

SOUNDS LIKE THE GROUP THAT NEEDS THE WATER IS RICHMOND ROSENBERG. I, I WOULD BE.

THERE'S A DEMAND SOMEWHERE AND IT COULD BE EVEN TO THE SOUTH.

BECAUSE IF YOU WANTED TO BUY SOMETHING FROM ANGLETON SOUTH, THERE'S NO CAPACITY IN THAT LINE TO PURCHASE ANYTHING. THEY HAVE TO COME TO US. WE WOULD KNOW ABOUT IT.

BUY FROM ANGLINGTON. WELL, NOT FROM BUYING FROM SAY ANOTHER, ANOTHER CITY OR SOMETHING ALONG THAT PATH. THERE'S JUST NO CAPACITY IN THAT 18 INCH LINE.

RIGHT. SO WITH THIS 42, IF THERE'S ANOTHER MUNICIPALITY ALONG THE WAY, THEY HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE. ANGLICAN HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE.

IF IT'S A MUD DISTRICT. I KNOW THAT AT ONE TIME THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT ASHLAND WAS LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY PURCHASING WATER FROM THERE AND IT WOULD. WOULD HAVE HELPED POTENTIALLY THE CITY OF ANGLETON OUT BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TOOK SOME OF THE DEMAND OFF.

IF YOU REMEMBER CORRECTLY, WHEN WE USED TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT SOME ADDITIONAL WATER, THE 18 INCH LINE WAS MAXED OUT.

THAT WAS ALL THAT WAS AVAILABLE. AND ONE OF OUR CONVERSATIONS WAS IF WE COULD EVER SELL THREE MGD MORE, WE COULD ESSENTIALLY MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT TO UPSIZE THAT LINE.

SO APPARENTLY THERE'S DEMAND SOMEWHERE. THAT'S WHY I LIKE TO KNOW WHERE THIS DEMAND IS COMING FROM. OKAY.

ACCORDING TO THEIR 2013 STUDY THAT THEY DID, THIS IS PART OF THEIR PLAN. AND THE WATER IS TO CONNECT TO RAMSEY, STRINGFELLOW AND TERRELL AND THEN UP TOWARDS IOWA COLONY AND DARRINGTON. SO THEY HAVE FIVE ALTERNATIVE OR SIX ALTERNATIVE PLANS AND THAT IS PART OF IT TO CONNECT TO FURTHER ONES NORTH.

SO THE ESSENTIAL ROUTE IS 288 UNTIL THEY GET TO THE SOUTHERN PORTION. IF YOU'LL GO TO THE NEXT ONE, I'LL WALK UP THERE. THAT MEANS WE'RE PAYING FOR THIS LINE.

KEEP GOING TO THE NEXT SLIDE DOWN. I THINK THERE OUGHT TO BE ONE MORE AFTER THIS.

YEAH.

OKAY. SO THIS IS COUNTY ROAD 220. YEP.

THEY'LL BE COMING FROM THE SOUTH ALONG 288.

CONTINUE ON UP. ONCE THEY GET HERE TO SOUTH WALKER, IT'LL PARALLEL, I WOULD SAY THE NORTH EAST SIDE OF THE PROTECTION LEVEE IS WHERE THEY ARE NOW.

AGAIN, THIS IS A PRELIMINARY LAYOUT. THERE'S NO EASEMENTS, THERE'S NO NOTHING. THEY JUST SAID, HEY, I JUST WANT EVERYBODY TO SEE WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

WOULDN'T IT JUST FOLLOW THE OLD ONE? I BELIEVE THE OLD ONE IS ON THIS SIDE HERE. I'M WONDERING WHY WOULD IT NOT JUST FOLLOW THE OLD ONE? I HAVEN'T.

THERE HAS TO BE A REASON.

I MEAN IT'S PROBABLY A SHORTER DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TWO AND IT'S A LOT LESS PROPERTY OWNERS IF THEY CAN RUN DOWN 288 AND THEN RUN DOWN THE PROTECTION LEVY. SO TO GO DOWN THE PROTECTION LEVEE, CONTINUE ON UP. CONTINUE ON ALONG THE PROTECTION LEVEE.

IT'LL CROSS RIGHT HERE. IT'LL BE. HERE'S YOUR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.

IT'LL BE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PROTECTION LEVY AT THE

[01:25:02]

WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT PLANT. AND IT'LL CONTINUE ON AROUND THESE STORAGE BUILDINGS.

IT'LL CROSS 35 HERE.

CONTINUE ON UNTIL IT GETS UP TO RIGHT HERE, ONE OF THE PROPERTY LINES OF THESE BIGGER LOTS. IT'LL FOLLOW THE PROPERTY LINE AROUND IN NO PLANE. CONTINUE WITH THE PROPERTY PROPERTY LINE UP TO THE NEXT PAGE ALONG WITH PROTECT.

I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY. THAT WAS ALL PROTECTION.

LIVING. I'M SORRY. AND THIS IS WHERE IT COMES UP TO THE PROPERTY LINES AND THEN TIES INTO THE 42 INCH RIGHT THERE ON HENDERSON.

IT'S RUNNING RIGHT THROUGH THE SOCCER FIELD.

WELL, ALONG THE FENCE LINE OF THE SOCCER FIELD. CORRECT.

BETWEEN US AND THE FIRE FIGHTERS. THIS IS ONLY TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION, NOT DISTRIBUTION.

NOBODY CAN TIE INTO THIS THING UNLESS THEY HAVE A CONTRACT WITH BWA. ACCORDING TO THEIR STUDY, IT'S LABELED AS DISTRIBUTION ALTERNATIVES.

THEY HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE TO THAT BYPASSES US.

BUT IT HAS THEM INSTALL A NEW WATER TREATMENT PLANT ON THE HARRIS RESERVOIR. AND THEN THEY GO UP. YEAH.

IN OTHER WORDS, GO WEST AND COME UP. SO MAJORITY OF IT DOESN'T REALLY CROSS ANY PROPERTY OWNED BY ANGLETON OTHER THAN MAYBE A COUPLE ROADS TO WHERE THEY.

YEAH, RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE WATER.

THE SEWER PLANT AND THE SOCCER FIELD COMPLEX. CORRECT. THOSE WOULD BE WHERE THAT WOULD.

RIGHT OF WAYS. HENDERSON AS WELL. NO, THAT'S COUNTY ROAD.

THAT'S COUNTY ROAD.

BUT AGAIN, THIS IS EXTREMELY PRELIMINARY.

50,000 FOOT.

THEY PASS IT OUT TO TXDOT AND TO OTHER ENTITIES TO LET THEM TAKE A LOOK AT IT TO START THE CONVERSATIONS. I'D LIKE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS IS FOR.

IF THIS IS FOR ANOTHER CITY THAT'S WANTING TO JOIN IN, THEN THAT CITY SHOULD BE PAYING FOR THE COST OF THIS LINE AND NOT THE TAXPAYER.

THE USERS OF BWA WATER, WHICH WOULD BE THE SEVEN MEMBER CITIES, SPECIFICALLY THE ANGLETON RESIDENTS, SHOULD NOT BE PAYING FOR THIS WATER LINE. SOMEBODY ELSE RIGHT NOW, AGAIN, I'M JUST GOING TO GO OFF THE HISTORY. WHAT I KNOW FOR HISTORY.

THE REASON FOR THAT 3 MILLION MGD THAT NEEDED TO BE PURCHASED BEFORE THEY COULD UPSIZE THIS LINE WHEN WE WERE.

AT WHAT TIME DISCUSSION WAS AT THAT POINT, THE THREE MG SURPLUS CHARGE.

NOT.

IT WOULDN'T AFFECT ANY OF THE OTHER CHARTER MEMBERS. IT WOULD ONLY AFFECT THE PERSON THAT NEEDED THE. THE WATER.

SO I'M AGAIN, DON'T KNOW AND I CAN GET WYATT AND TALK TO SOME PEOPLE TO SEE IF WE CAN GET SOMEBODY UP HERE TO TALK.

BUT THAT WAS THE WAY. THE REASON FOR THAT MAGIC THREE MGD WAS THE, THE COST OR THE.

IT WOULD NOT IMPACT ANY OTHER.

OTHER CLIENTS OR MEMBERS. CITY MEMBERS FOR THAT EXPANSION.

CORRECT. BUT WE HAD TO PAY FOR IT. DO WHAT? BUT WE HAD TO PAY FOR IT.

WE HAD TO TAKE IT. 3 MILLION IF, IF THE CITY. IF THE CITY DID.

RIGHT. YOU'RE. YOU'RE NOT TAKING IT.

THAT'S RIGHT. SO IF IT'S THE SAME DEAL THAT THEY SAID TO THE CITY, SOMEBODY ELSE IS TAKING IT.

THIS LINE IS BEING UPSIZED.

YOU SHOULD NOT SEE A CHARGE FOR THAT INCREASE.

BUT NOBODY'S GIVING ME SPECIFICS ON THIS. MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN ANSWER.

[01:30:01]

WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO REACH OUT TO WHITE AND SEE? SURE.

ANSWERS FROM ALL DIFFERENT SIDES.

BUT THEY JUST WANTED COUNCIL TO BE AWARE OF, LIKE I SAID, THE POTENTIAL ALIGNMENT AGAIN.

I MEAN, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE A LOT'S UNANSWERED. YOU KNOW, WE SIT HERE FOR A CITY OF ANGLETON. WE WANT TO DO SOME SORT OF COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS.

YOU KNOW, WHAT WE VALUE. IT MAY BE DIFFERENT FOR EACH ONE OF US UP HERE, MAY HAVE A DIFFERENT VALUE SYSTEM, BUT I THINK WE'D ALL PROBABLY LIKE TO HAVE A FEW MORE ANSWERS OF, YOU KNOW, WHO'S THIS BENEFIT, AT WHAT EXPENSE? ARE THERE ANY STRINGS ATTACHED? COULD IT BE POSSIBLE THAT IT'S, YOU KNOW, MORE BENEFICIAL TO US? WE JUST DON'T KNOW. I MEAN, I FEEL LIKE WE'RE JUST BEING TOLD ABOUT.

AND I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE BEING OPAQUE, BUT, YOU KNOW, IT SURE FEELS LIKE. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S. I'M NOT.

I DON'T WANT TO SIGN MALICIOUS INTENT BECAUSE THERE MIGHT NOT BE ANY. IT'S JUST THIS LIKE WE, WE DON'T KNOW. SO LET'S, LET'S HAVE A LITTLE CLEARER PICTURE.

I'LL GET A HOLD OF WYATT AND LUPY CAN GET A HOLD OF CECIL.

IS THERE ANYTHING IN THE BYLAWS. ANOTHER QUESTION TO ASK BWA IS, IS THERE ANYTHING IN THE BYLAWS THAT ALLOWS THEM TO SELL.

DOW IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THIS. BUT TO A PRIVATE INDUSTRY THAT MIGHT BE COMING TO. CITY'S KNOWLEDGE.

I'M CONCERNED. I KNOW IT'S IN THEIR PLAN, IT'S IN THEIR PLAN TO SERVICE UP THEIR SERVICE AND THEY GOT THE LINE GOING ALL THE WAY TO RICHMOND ROOSEVELT. THERE'S GOT TO BE SOME DISCUSSIONS IN THE BACKGROUND OF WHO'S GOING TO BUY THIS WATER BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO PUT IT IN, JUST HAVE IT SIT THERE.

THEY'VE GOT TO HAVE A RETURN ON THE INVESTMENT. I KNOW THEY'VE GOT TO HAVE DISCUSSIONS WITH SOMEBODY THAT'S GOING TO TAKE A SECTION. THEN.

HOW DOES THAT AFFECT THE CITY OF ANGLETON IN THE FUTURE? IF THERE'S A DROUGHT, WHO HAS FIRST RIGHTS TO THE WATER OR WE'RE THE CLOSEST, WE'RE THE LONGEST MEMBER CITY WHO SHOULD HAVE FIRST RISE TO THE WATER. SO THERE'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT I STILL HAVE FOR THIS GROUP. LIKE I SAID, THE CITY OF ANGLETON WATER USERS SHOULD NOT BE FUNDING A PIPELINE TO INCREASE IT FOR SOMEBODY ELSE.

THAT'S BEYOND WHOEVER'S DYING.

THAT'S. I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE LEARNED WHO IS BENEFITING.

THERE MAY BE SOME BENEFIT FOR US AND THAT'D BE GREAT. WE LEARN ABOUT IT AND IT HELPS US TO, YOU KNOW, SUPPORT THE ISSUE.

IF IT'S.

IF IT'S LIKE JOHN SAYS, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO BE THAT, BUT I THINK IT'S.

IT'LL BE A BENEFIT TO ANGLETON BECAUSE YOU. YOUR.

YOUR LINE WAS TAPPED. YOU HAD NO OTHER POTENTIAL WAY. IF YOU HAD A BIG EXPANSION IN THE CITY AND NEEDED ADDITIONAL WATER.

NOW YOU. IF THIS LINE GOES IN, YOU HAVE A WAY OF. IF YOU.

IF THE CITY DESIRED TO PURCHASE ALL THAT WATER IS GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE. UP NORTH.

YEAH, YEAH.

I MEAN, THAT'S THE QUESTION.

RIGHT. IF THE LINE'S THERE, BUT WE CAN'T TAP INTO IT OURSELVES AT SOME POINT.

RIGHT. AS FOR THE PLAN AND WHERE IT'S GOING. DOESN'T SEEM THAT BIG OF AN ISSUE TO ME AT THE MOMENT.

BUT STAYING OUT OF THE WAY OF MOST OF THE AREAS AND.

MAYBE WE CAN SELL THEM SOME RIGHT AWAY FOR THEIR. SUSIE WOULD SAY MORE THAN A DOLLAR.

I'LL TRY TO GET SOMEBODY TO.

TO BE UP HERE AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING AND KIND OF GIVE HIM SOME QUESTIONS TO WHERE HE CAN BE PREPARED TO MAKE IT AS PRODUCTIVE AS

[01:35:02]

POSSIBLE. WE JUST HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS.

WATER'S SCARCE. IT'S A VERY GROWING CONCERN IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, ADDING CAPACITY.

WE'VE GOT TO KNOW WHERE THAT'S GOING.

WELL, I MEAN, FOR ME ALSO, I WANT TO KNOW.

BUT YOU AGAIN, EVEN IF IT'S A LINE GOING ELSEWHERE, IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY IN THE FUTURE FOR ANGLETON TO UTILIZE IT OR LIKE JOHN SAID, IS IT JUST STRICTLY A TAP FOR SOMEBODY ELSE? I'M GOING TO SEND THE STUDY TO AMANDA SO THAT SHE CAN DISTRIBUTE IT TO EVERYONE SO YOU ALL CAN HAVE A LOOK AT IT. THANK YOU.

NUMBER 11 DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION ON IMPROVING ORDINANCE NUMBER 202-604-28011. AMENDING THE GARBAGE AND ROOF USE RATE TABLES AND FEE SCHEDULE AND THE CONSOLIDATED SCHEDULE OF THE FEES OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE STATE OF ANGLETON, TEXAS.

REVISING AND PROVIDING FOR AN INCREASE IN THE RATE RATES TO BE CHARGED FOR SOLID WASTE COLLECTION BY THE CITY OF ANGLETON.

PROVIDING FOR REPEAL OF CONFLICTING ORDINANCES, PROVIDING FOR A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, PROVIDING FOR AN OPEN MEETINGS CLAUSE, PROVIDING FOR A PENALTY AND PROVIDING EFFECTIVE DATA.

MAYOR COUNCIL.

THIS IS JUST THE 2.68 CPI INCREASE FROM VOICE CONNECTIONS THAT WE DO YEARLY. WE TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT IT SHOULD BE AND THIS IS IN ACCORDANCE TO THE AGREEMENT.

SO IT'S A 2.68% RATE INCREASE ACROSS THE BOARD. THERE'S NO CHANGES TO IN RECYCLING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

THIS IS JUST THE REGULAR CONTRACT WITH A 2.68 INCREASE.

TO BE CLEAR, THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO GO INTO EFFECT IN JANUARY.

YES, BUT THIS WILL BE TAKING IN EFFECT AS OF THE END OF APRIL. WILL BE APRIL SPILLING.

IT IS A MISNOMER TO SAY INCREASE OF THE RATES TO BE CHARGED FOR SOLID WASTE COLLECTION BY THE SAME.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE LISTENING ONLINE THIS IS NOT.

THE CITY IS INCREASING THE RATE ON OUR OWN PASSING THIS INCREASE ALONG. CORRECT? IT IS PART OF THE CONTRACT WE SIGNED.
