YES, SIR. BEFORE I PRAY, I'D LIKE TO JUST SAY THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU FOR SERVING OUR
COMMUNITY. 
          I APPRECIATE THE TIME AND THE EFFORT THAT YOU GIVE TO MAKE ANGLETON BETTER. 
          AND FORGIVE ME FOR NOT STAYING, BUT MY WIFE WENT TO URGENT CARE THIS MORNING. 
          SHE'S HOME RESTING, AND I'VE BEEN GIVEN THE ASSIGNMENT OF BRINGING HOME A PIZZA AS SOON AS
I'M DONE HERE. 
          I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO JUST REMEMBER THE DAVIS FAMILY IN PRAYERS. 
          I'VE BEEN OUT OF TOWN FOR A WEEK AND I JUST LEARNED THE NEWS OF RICHARD DAVIS,
AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF EVERYBODY HERE. 
          I'M ASSUMING YOU KNOW MORE THAN I DO, BUT THAT HE WILL BE TAKEN OFF FEEDING TUBES RIGHT
SOON. 
          AND SO I'D LIKE TO REMEMBER THEM. AND AS WE GO TO THE LORD,
WHY DON'T WE BOW? FATHER, RIGHT OFF THE BAT, I JUST WANT TO PRAY FOR NANCY,
RICHARD, TOMMY AND THE FAMILY AND ALL THAT THEY'RE FACING RIGHT NOW. 
          GOD, I PRAY THAT YOU DRAW NEAR TO THEM IN A WAY THAT WOULD BRING COMFORT,
THAT OUR WORDS WOULD FALL SHORT OF GIVING. 
          LORD, I PRAY THEY WOULD SENSE YOUR PRESENCE IN A VERY TANGIBLE WAY. 
          FATHER, I THANK YOU THAT RICHARD IS IN YOUR HANDS,
AND WE HAVE GREAT PEACE AND HOPE, KNOWING THAT AT THE SAME TIME, THIS IS A DIFFICULT THING. AND WE PRAY THAT YOU WOULD GUIDE US AND HELP US AS WE JOURNEY
THROUGH THIS. 
          LORD, I WANT TO PRAY FOR THIS COUNCIL MEETING HERE,
THOSE THAT ARE ONLINE AND TAKING PART. 
          GOD, I PRAY THAT YOU GRANT WISDOM AND DISCERNMENT AS DECISIONS ARE MADE FOR THE PEOPLE OF
THIS COMMUNITY AND GOD. 
          MAY WE ALWAYS KEEP THAT IN MIND AS WE'RE MAKING DECISIONS. 
          WE'RE DOING MORE THAN SAYING YAY OR NAY. WE'RE SERVING THE PEOPLE OF THIS GREAT COMMUNITY. 
          AND SO, FATHER, MAY WE PUT ASIDE ANY SELF-INTEREST,
ANY PERSONAL AGENDAS, AND MAY YOU GIVE US THE WISDOM WE NEED TO MAKE DECISIONS THAT WOULD SERVE THE PEOPLE OF THIS COMMUNITY BEST. MAY WE HAVE INTEGRITY AND COURAGE. 
          AND FATHER, I PRAY THAT WHERE THERE'S DIFFERENCES OF OPINION AND DISAGREEMENT,
THAT WE WOULD MAINTAIN RESPECT AND FATHER, THAT YOU WOULD HELP US TO PROTECT UNITY AS WE GO FORWARD. 
          MAY WE HONOR YOU IN THE WAY THAT WE HANDLE BUSINESS. 
          FATHER, I PRAY THAT YOU WOULD BLESS THE FAMILIES OF THIS COMMUNITY. 
          BLESS OUR SCHOOLS, OUR CHURCHES, OUR BUSINESSES,
OUR FIRST RESPONDERS, OUR COUNCIL. 
          FATHER, I PRAY THAT YOU JUST BLESS OUR CITY,
AND I PRAY THAT ANGLETON WOULD BE KNOWN AS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE, TO RAISE A FAMILY, TO WORK AND TO SERVE AGAIN. 
          FATHER, WOULD YOUR WISDOM GUIDE AND LEAD AS BUSINESS IS DONE HERE TONIGHT? PRAY IT IN JESUS NAME. AMEN. AMEN. THANK YOU PASTOR. 
          [CITIZENS WISHING TO ADDRESS CITY COUNCIL]
ALL RIGHT. CITIZENS WISHING TO ADDRESS CITY COUNCIL,
I HAVE ONE. 
          MISS MCDANIEL. WANT TO SPEAK NOW? YES, MA'AM. 
          THEY HAVE TO MAKE SURE THEY GET YOUR GOOD SIDE. 
          SO YOU'RE ON THE CAMERA. GREETINGS, EVERYONE. 
          SOMETHING PASSIONATE ABOUT. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO IF I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. 
          I'VE HAD SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS WITH JAKE FROM TIME TO TIME,
AND I WAS JUST THRILLED TO DEATH TO WATCH THE COUNCIL MEETING, THE PAST COUNCIL MEETING, AND ACTUALLY FINALLY ADDRESSING THE CONDITION THAT OUR STAFF HAS
BEEN WORKING WITH OVER THERE. 
          AS SOMEONE I'VE BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE ANIMAL CENTER FOR VARIOUS REASONS OVER THE LAST 2
OR 3 YEARS, ALL THE WAY BACK WITH BRENDA MAJORS HELPING ME WITH AN ISSUE. 
          I JUST HAVE TO TELL YOU, ALL I CAN SAY IS THANK YOU. 
          AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT JEWELS YOU HAVE WORKING THERE? THEY DID A BANG UP JOB FOR WHAT THEY HAD TO WORK WITH. 
          SO I'M JUST PLEADING WITH YOU. I UNDERSTOOD SOMEBODY SAY THEY WERE GOING TO MAKE WE'RE
GOING TO MAKE THIS A PRIORITY. 
          [00:05:06]
NOT THAT YOU DON'T HAVE 20 OTHERS, BUT THIS IS A PRIORITY ON SEVERAL,
SEVERAL LEVELS. 
          SO I JUST THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SAY THAT. I DO HAVE ONE OTHER COMMENT. 
          AND I APPRECIATE THE SUGGESTION AND WHAT YOU'RE WANTING TO DO WITH A $5 DONATION ADDED TO
THE WATER BILL, BUT I'VE BEEN DONATING FOR YEARS ON TWO DIFFERENT WATER METERS. 
          AND I GOT TO THINKING, OKAY, HOW MUCH AM I GOING TO HAVE TO PAY? BECAUSE I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR WHAT, 20, 30 YEARS IS $7.50 RIGHT NOW. 
          IF YOU HAD ANOTHER $5 TO IT AND WE JUST RAISED WATER BILLS,
I'M JUST SAYING YOU MIGHT WANT TO MAYBE CONCENTRATE IN A DIFFERENT AREA TO TRY TO RAISE FUNDS RATHER THAN DOING THAT. 
          I'LL PAY THE $5. I'M NOT SAYING IT, BUT I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE HARD. 
          I'M ON THE BOARD OF ONE OF THE ENTITIES THAT IS RECEIVING MONEY,
AND OUR MONEYS HAVE BEEN DWINDLING. 
          EVERY YEAR I'VE BEEN LESS AND LESS. SO I HAVE A FEELING WE'LL LOSE EVEN MORE DONATIONS
LONG TERM. 
          SO I JUST WANTED TO PUT MY $0.02 IN ON THAT. THANK YOU FOR OR AGAINST IT. 
          I'M JUST SAYING THAT'S AN ISSUE THAT I DO SEE. 
          THANK YOU. THANKS. THANK YOU. 
          MISS GINA ADAMS. THE FLOOR IS YOURS. 
          COUNCIL. MAYOR. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW THAT AS OF NOW,

          SO I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW THAT WE'RE DOING GREAT THINGS AND BEING RECOGNIZED. 
          IT'S A VERY BIG HONOR FOR US BEING, YOU KNOW,

          SO JUST WANTED TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW. THANK YOU,

WHAT YOU GOT? THANK YOU. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. AS YOU SEE IN THE SUMMARY OF THIS ITEM,
THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING AS OUTLINED PRIOR. 
          AND WHAT THIS DOES IS IT BASICALLY APPROVES THE ASSESSMENT PLAN IN WHICH YOU'VE HAD AN
OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE PRELIMINARY VERSION. 
          THERE WERE NO CHANGES OF THE DOCUMENT. AND THEN WHAT TONIGHT ALSO DOES IS IT BASICALLY
APPROVES THE ASSESSMENT ROLL, WHICH WOULD OUTLINE THE AUTHORIZED IMPROVEMENTS FOR AUSTIN COLONIES AND ALSO INCLUDES THE
ENGINEERED OPINION OF PROBABLE PROBABLE CAUSE FOR ALL OF THE DEVELOPMENTS IN THIS PARTICULAR SECTION,
AND THOSE TOTAL UP TO ABOUT 4 MILLION OR SO. 
          AND AS YOU SEE, THE ANNUAL IMPROVEMENT INSTALLMENTS IN EXHIBIT G TOTAL ABOUT 6 MILLION. 
          SO ALL OF THIS WAS PRESENTED PRIOR, AS NOTED ON AUGUST 11TH. 
          THIS WOULD BE OUR LAST STEP FOR SETTING UP THE PIT. 
          ALL NECESSARY ADVERTISEMENTS HAVE BEEN DONE AND THE OWNERS HAVE BEEN PROPERLY NOTICED AS
WE ARE REQUIRED TO DO BY THE STATE LAW AND IN THIS ORDINANCE,
AS I STATED, WOULD ALSO ACCOMMODATE THE LEVYING OF THOSE ASSESSMENTS FOR THE PROPERTY AS YOU DESCRIBED, AND ALSO APPROVE THAT ASSESSMENT THAT'S WHAT THE ORDINANCE WILL DO. 
          THAT'S ALL WE HAVE ON THE ITEM. MR. REYES HERE,
AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE FRAMED HOUSES NOW APPEARING IN THIS SECTION. 
          SO WE'RE HAPPY ABOUT THAT. AND THE PROGRESS IS BEING MADE. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU IN THE FORM OF THE ORDINANCE. 
          COUNCIL. ANY QUESTIONS. 
          DID WE? DID WE EVER HEAR, DID WE EVER HEAR A PRICE POINT ON THESE HOUSES FROM YOU? I THINK YOU WERE STILL KIND OF UP IN THE AIR ON THAT AND ALSO SOME OF THE SPECS ON THE
HOUSES. 
          I THINK WE'RE STILL IN THIS REAL WEIRD AREA,
EVEN THOUGH IT'S BEING BUILT. 
          THE AVERAGE SQUARE FOOTAGE IS TWO POINT. THERE WILL BE SOME LESS THAN 15,
AT LEAST SOME MORE ON THE 60 FOOT LOTS. 
          THEY'RE CURRENTLY BUILDING A SPEC. IT HAS A THREE CAR GARAGE AND IT'S OVER 1500FT². 
          [00:20:04]
THE AVERAGE COST OF A HOME IS $300,000, AND THERE WILL BE SOME UNDER 300 AND THERE'LL BE
SOME GREATER DENSITY. 
          THREE CAR GARAGES, 343 60 DEPENDING UPON THE THE TRIM THAT THEY PUT INSIDE. 
          MR. RAY, WHEN YOU SAY OVER HOW MUCH? OVER IN IN SQUARE FOOTAGE. 
          LIKE, WHAT'S YOUR RANGE? YOU SAID YOU SAID SOME OVER 15. 
          I MEAN, DO YOU HAVE SOME 1800 TO 2000 SQUARE FOOT OR LIKE,
WHERE ARE YOU AT? JUST CURIOUS. YES, 1515 TO 2000. THERE MAY BE A FEW,
A FEW ABOVE 2000. 
          BUT I BELIEVE, I BELIEVE THAT THE CURRENT THREE CAR GARAGE IS PRETTY CLOSE TO 2000 PLUS OR
MINUS. 
          WHAT'S YOUR MAX SALES PRICE? DO YOU KNOW THE MAXIMUM SALES PRICE 3400 WOULD BE VERY FEW OF
THOSE IN SECTION ONE. THEY, THEY, THEY MIGHT GET BIGGER. 
          THEY MIGHT GET BIGGER, MORE EXPENSIVE AS WE GO ALONG. 
          RIGHT NOW. TODAY, THE AVERAGE PERSON BUYING A $300,000 HOUSE IS 40 YEARS OLD. 
          SO IT'S IN THE NEW HOMES ARE NOT SELLING AT A VERY RAPID RATE. 
          SO TO BE COMPETITIVE, WE'VE GOT TO GET IN THERE AND GET A NUMBER THAT IS COMPETITIVE. 
          YOU KNOW, LET'S SCHOOL TEACHERS AND POLICEMEN AND CITY WORKERS AND PEOPLE AFFORD A HOUSE. 
          AND WHAT'S THE SMALLEST SQUARE FOOTAGE THEY DON'T GET? I CAN'T GIVE YOU THE EXACT NUMBER, BUT THEY THEY DO NOT GET BELOW 1500. 
          THERE MAY BE SOME 13 FIVES. 14. MY GUESS IS 13. 
          FIVE. 135. HOW MANY BUILDERS? TWO. ONE IS SERENE HOMES, WHICH IS MY GYM. MIKE AND MIKE HAS BEEN IN THE BUILDING BUSINESS FOR 2530 YEARS, AND THE OTHER GENTLEMAN IS COMMISSION MILLS HOMES. 
          AND THAT'S A GENTLEMAN BY THE NAME OF JASON. JASON AND HIS FATHER AND FAMILY HAVE BEEN IN
THE HOUSTON AREA FOR DEVELOPMENT FOR OUR BUSINESS FOR MANY YEARS. 
          I JUST REMEMBER GOING RATES AROUND $200 A SQUARE FOOT. 
          THAT'S CRAZY. THE INTEREST ON THIS KID IS PRETTY HIGH. SIX AND A HALF, 6.75 IS WHAT I SEE. 
          YEAH. 30 YEAR BOND FIVE RECORD. YEAH. YEAH. I MEAN,
YOU'RE GOING TO A LITTLE MORE AND A LITTLE BIT MORE RISK THAN THAT. 
          BUT THAT'S THE BEST WE CAN DO. AND SO YEAH THAT'S WHAT'S HURTING HOME SALES. THAT'S WHAT'S HURTING BUILDERS. THAT'S WHAT'S HURTING
DEVELOPERS. THAT'S QUITE FRANKLY WHAT HURTING ALL OF US. 
          IT JUST SEEMS TO THE PERSON WHO'S GOING TO PAY FOR IT IS THE THE HOMEOWNER. 
          THAT'S CORRECT. THAT'S CORRECT. NOT THE DEVELOPER. 
          THAT'S CORRECT. THAT'S CORRECT. WE LOSE $3 MILLION IN VALUE IN THIS COMMUNITY. 
          IN OTHER WORDS, WITHOUT THE PIT AND WE WILL HAVE TO PAY. 
          WE WOULDN'T GO FORWARD. BUT WITH THE PIT MONEY,
WE CAN GET OUR MONEY BACK AND MAKE A PROFIT. 
          IT'S NOT A REAL IT'S NOT A CURRENT CONDITIONS,
BUT WE ACTUALLY LOSE $3 MILLION DEVELOPING THIS PROPERTY. 
          NOT NOT JUST 61. THAT'S 565 OR 80 LOTS. PLUS THE $3.5 MILLION ROAD. 
          THE AVERAGE HOUSE IN THIS SUBDIVISION WILL BE ABOUT $5,000 FOR THAT ROAD. 
          [00:25:02]
5562 HOUSES IN THERE. SO IT'S A IT'S A HEAVY LOAD. 
          BUT THEY THERE'S A THERE IS A VERY BIG PIECE OF PAPER THAT'S VERY,
VERY CLEAR THAT THEY HAVE TO SIGN THAT THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GETTING INTO. SO THAT'S JUST PART OF THEIR ASSESSMENT. 
          AND IT IS. YEAH, HALF OF IT. HALF OVER HALF OF IT IS PAYING INTEREST,
CORRECT? CORRECT. WHAT'S THE WHAT'S THE COST ON THAT. ON THE INTEREST OVER 3 MILLION ACROSS THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT. THIS IS JUST AREA ONE. 
          SO THE 6 MILLION THAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THE INVESTMENT OVER 3 MILLION OF IT IS
INTEREST. 
          ABOUT $400 PER HOUSE A YEAR. UNLESS THEY PREPAY. 
          THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S A BIG THAT'S A BIG UPFRONT PREPAYMENT. AND WE DO GET A FEW ERRORS. 
          COUNCIL. ANY QUESTIONS OR ACTION. 
          SO MY THOUGHTS OF THIS, AND I'M TRYING TO RECALL MANY CONVERSATIONS OVER FIVE YEARS NOW. TO ME WAS NEVER IN LOVE WITH THIS SUBDIVISION, WAS NEVER IN LOVE WITH SMALL LOTS. I DON'T FELT LIKE IT FELT DID NOT FEEL LIKE IT MATCHED
THE CURRENT AVERAGE OF THE CITY OF ANGLETON DENSITY. I BELIEVE FORMER COUNCIL AND BOOTH RAISED ABOUT
AVERAGE OF 60 FOOT LOTS, HISTORICALLY SPEAKING. FRONTAGE. ON THE OTHER HAND I DO BELIEVE THAT CONTINUATION OF TIGNOR ROAD HOPEFULLY WILL BE EVENTUALLY CONNECTED IN SOME FASHION DIRECTLY TO COUNTY ROAD 44 OR CARR ROAD WOULD BE A LONG TERM BENEFIT FOR
THE CITY. 
          I'M NOT REALLY THRILLED ABOUT 1500 SQUARE FOOT HOUSES,
I UNDERSTAND THAT. 
          THE MARKET IS WHAT IT IS, SO I GUESS THE MARKET WILL SPEAK TO THAT. 
          PEOPLE DON'T BUY THEM UP THEN. THAT'S YOUR ISSUE,
I GUESS. 
          ON THE OTHER HAND, AS THE CITY CONTINUES TO DEVELOP,
I THINK. 
          COUNCIL SHOULD KEEP IN MIND THAT WE USE THE WORD DIVERSITY AND SOMEHOW ASSIGN THE
DEFINITION THAT THAT SOMEHOW MEANS DIFFERENT YET SMALLER. I THINK THE COUNCIL SHOULD CONSIDER. 
          THEY OPEN UP THE POSSIBILITY THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO FILL EVERY SQUARE INCH OF THE CITY WITH
DENSE HOUSING ON 5045 FOOT LOTS AND 50 FOOT LOTS. SO THAT'LL BE A DISCUSSION FOR A FEW MINUTES. 
          BUT. FOR THOSE REASONS, I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS BID. 
          I THINK THE MAYOR'S ADEQUATELY RAISED THE ISSUE WILL BE PASSED ON DIRECTLY TO THE
PURCHASER. 
          I'LL SECOND THAT. I HAVE A MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM TOWNSEND,
SECOND BY COUNCILMAN SARTIN TO APPROVE THE PIT. 
          ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? HEARING NONE. 
          CALL FOR THE VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE. 
          AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS AND I APPRECIATE 
          [00:30:05]
YOU TAKING TIME TO DELIVER IT AND THINK ABOUT THEM. 
          SO DID I. I AGREE WITH YOU. THESE ARE BIG NUMBERS,
BUT THAT'S IT. 
          I AGREE. BUT THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU,

          LET'S SEE. COUNCIL MEMBER SMITH. COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          DANIEL. COUNCIL MEMBER. SARTIN. COUNCIL MEMBER SIMMONS FOR MAYOR. 
          PRO TEM TOWNSEND FOR MAYOR. RIGHT FOR THAT. MOTION CARRIES SIX ZERO. 
          OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. SUSIE. I KNOW WE'LL SEE YOU BACK IN A MINUTE. 
          ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GONNA MOVE TO REGULAR AGENDA,
AND I'M GOING TO JUMP UP TO 11 FOR A SECOND AND GO TO DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION ON 
          [11. Discussion and possible action on City street overlays and City streets. ]
CITY STREET OVERLAYS AND CITY STREETS. MR. HANKS. 
          HECTOR. FIRST. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. 
          I'LL JUST OPEN IT UP. JUST. I KNOW THAT IN THE PREVIOUS MEETING,
WE REQUESTED TO HAVE AN UPDATE ON OUR CURRENT OVERLAYS AND TO SPEAK WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT. AND THEY SHOULD BE STARTING IN TWO WEEKS. 
          [00:35:02]
AND ACTUALLY JUST GOT THE COST BEFORE THE MEETING AS WELL OF 25 AND 26 OVERLAYS. 
          AND THAT COST IS $344,200. OKAY. AND HOW MUCH WAS BUDGETED FOR BOTH SETS? WE TYPICALLY HAVE 5000. SO WE'LL, WE'LL GET BOTH OF THEM. 
          AND THEY'RE ALSO IN TALKING TO THE SUPERINTENDENT,
WE WILL BE GOING FROM THE EDGE OF THE CONCRETE ALL THE WAY TO 35 ON THE REBUILD OF HENDERSON ROAD TO. SO THAT'S INCLUDED IN THIS COST AS WELL. 
          INSTEAD OF STOPPING AT BUCKTOWN. AND THAT'S ALL I GOT. 
          UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. YES. LINE THAT OUT FOR ME A LITTLE BIT BETTER. 
          GIVE ME THE INROADS. SO ON HENDERSON, WHERE IS IT GOING FROM EDGE OF 35. 
          TO WHERE? ALL THE WAY TO THE EDGE OF THE CONCRETE,
WHICH WHERE CONCRETE STOPS AT PAST THE BRIDGE, WHICH IS CONCRETE CLOSER TO THE BASEBALL FIELD. 
          CORRECT? YES. SO RIGHT THERE BY THE SOFTBALL FIELD. OKAY. 
          I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S LINED OUT. SO WE'RE GOING ALL THE WAY ACROSS ALL THE WAY. YES,
WE'RE GOING TO A LITTLE SECTION OUT BASED ON DISTANCE, BUT SUPERINTENDENT WAS GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO GIVE IT TO US AND HE SAID,
WE'LL DO IT JUST SO IT DOESN'T LOOK BAD ON ANYBODY'S PART. 
          RIGHT. OKAY. WHAT ELSE? THAT'S NICE. THAT'S THAT'S ALL I CAN YOU LIST THE STREETS,
PLEASE. 
          OKAY, SO LET'S REFRESH EVERYBODY LISTENING AND EVERYBODY PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT STREETS
ARE GETTING OVERLAY. OKAY, SO FULL REBUILD IN TWO WEEKS, YOU'RE GOING TO START ON WHAT? I DON'T HAVE THAT ANSWER UNLESS MR. HANKS DOES. I JUST KNOW WE'RE STARTING ON THESE IN TWO WEEKS. 
          THAT'S ALL I GOT. SO THE TWO REBUILDS WILL BE ON WESTERN AVENUE AND THEN HENDERSON ROAD OR
LIKE WE JUST MENTIONED THE OTHER ONES THAT ARE JUST GOING TO BE MILL AND OVERLAYS, IT WILL BE ARCOLA,
WHICH IS GOING TO BE FROM HIGHWAY 35 TO THE RAILROAD TRACKS. 
          THIS WILL BE SOUTH ARCOLA, NOT NORTH ARCOLA. RIGHT. 
          ON MAGNOLIA STREET. IT WILL BE FROM ROCK ISLAND ALL THE WAY TO HIGHWAY 35,
WHICH IS THE WEIRD SECTION OF IT, RIGHT? THE CURVES, IT HAS TWO DIFFERENT CURVES IN IT. 
          ALSO VALDERAS WILL BE DONE FROM LOCUST TO MAGNOLIA,
WHICH THAT IS A SMALL, I BELIEVE IT'S ONLY GOOD, MAYBE 16 FOOT WIDE, BUT IT'S HEAVILY TRAFFICKED FOR THE SCHOOL. 
          THAT WAS IN TERRIBLE CONDITION. THAT'S ONE THAT'S GETTING DONE. 
          THAT'S JUST GOING FROM LOCUST TO TO MAGNOLIA. 
          MAGNOLIA. CORRECT. SO IT'S NOT GOING FROM LOCUST TO CEDAR. 
          WE'RE NOT DOING MAGNOLIA. YES. OKAY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THAT. 
          OKAY. AND THEN ANDERSON WILL BE FROM MAGNOLIA. 
          THAT'S THE WORST SECTION IN THERE IN BETWEEN. 
          AND THEN ROCK ISLAND WILL BE DONE FROM 35 ALL THE WAY TO ORANGE OR RIGHT UP AGAINST THE
TRACKS THERE. 
          THERE'S SOME PRETTY BAD SPOTS THERE CLOSER TO THE HIGHWAY. AND THOSE ARE 25 AND 26 PROJECT
SELECTIONS. 
          AND WE DID JUST RECEIVE THE LETTERS FROM THE COUNTY TO GO AHEAD AND PRESENT OUR PROJECTS
FOR THE FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. 
          SO I'LL BE BRINGING THOSE PROBABLY ON THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. 
          I'LL TRY TO GET THOSE IN SO WE CAN GET A LIST OF EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE SO THAT WE CAN
MAKE SOME SELECTIONS. 
          OKAY, THAT'S ALL I GOT. UNLESS YOU GOT ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME. 
          I KNOW MR. HANKS IS HERE. THANKS FOR BEING HERE. 
          I DO APPRECIATE HECTOR GETTING UP HERE AND GIVING ME A LITTLE INTRO,
THE INTRO BEFORE I GOT GOING, AND I'D LIKE TO HEAR THAT HE'S ALREADY WORKING WITH OUR SUPERINTENDENT VERY WELL. 
          SINCE THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE, WE HAVE OUR SUPERINTENDENT THAT WAS HERE IN THE CENTRAL
SERVICE CENTER, WHAT Y'ALL MIGHT CALL PRECINCT TWO RETIRED. AND WE HAVE A NEW SUPERINTENDENT. 
          HE'S BEEN IN. HE'S BEEN THERE A LONG TIME A YOUNG MAN,
HE'S MORE THAN QUALIFIED. 
          HE'S GOING TO DO A REALLY GOOD JOB, AND I'M GLAD HE'S ALREADY WORKING WITH HECTOR. 
          AND. AND I THINK Y'ALL ARE GOING TO BE REALLY PLEASED WITH WHAT WE'RE BRINGING TO THE
TABLE. 
          IN FACT, I THINK HE WAS IT WAS EITHER HECTOR OR HIM,
BUT HE, HE'S THE ONE THAT CALLED ME ABOUT HENDERSON AND EXTENDING THAT GOING. 
          WE NEED TO WE NEED TO DO THIS. AND AND IT WASN'T ME HAVING TO TALK HIM INTO DOING IT. 
          HE WAS THE ONE TELLING ME, WE NEED TO DO THIS AND LOOK BAD ON US IF WE DON'T DO IT. 
          AND EVEN THOUGH IT'S OVER THE TWO MILES IF HE WANTS TO DO IT. 
          SO I THINK HE'S, I THINK HE'S GOING TO BE THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB. 
          AND I HOPE, I HOPE THAT WORKS OUT REALLY WELL. 
          THAT'S GREAT. AND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, I DON'T KNOW THE SEQUENCE,
BUT I ASK YOU IF HE'S GOT A PLAN ON SEQUENCING WHICH ROADS WHEN ONCE HE STARTS NOW HE TOLD HECTOR TWO WEEKS. 
          AND IF WE KEEP THIS TO OURSELVES, YOU KNOW, LIKE IF THE PUBLIC DOES NOT LISTEN. 
          OUR GOAL IS TO BE HERE NEXT WEEK, BUT WITH SOME RAIN IN THE FORECAST. 
          WE LIKE TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF BUFFER. WE GOT AN OVERLAY GOING ON RIGHT NOW THAT AS SOON
AS WE'RE DONE WITH THAT PLAN ON BEING HERE. 
          [00:40:05]
I HAVE QUESTIONS FOR YOU MATT. COME ON MAN. SO BY THE WAY,
I JUST PROMISED TO GIVE YOU ALL SOME INFORMATION AFTER I ASKED, THE MAYOR ASKED ME BACK IN AUGUST TO CALL HIM BACK AFTER I GOT SOME INFORMATION. 
          I DIDN'T DO IT. SO I JUST WANT TO PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I FORGOT TO. 
          I WASN'T GOING TO CALL YOU OUT. SORRY. YOU'RE GOOD. 
          SORRY. GO AHEAD. I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE FISCAL CALENDAR,
HOW IT WORKS. 
          SO HECTOR MENTIONED HE JUST GOT THE REQUEST THAT THEY'RE SUBMITTING. 
          NOW, WE WANT TO FIND A WAY TO NOT BE AT THE END OF THE FISCAL CALENDAR. 
          HOW DO WE GET OURSELVES IN THE FRONT OF THE FISCAL CALENDAR OR SOMEWHERE ELSE. 
          AND HOW DO YOU APPROACH THE CENTRAL SERVICE CENTER,
SINCE THAT'S WHAT'S SERVICING ANGLETON? HOW DOES THAT LOOK? AND FROM THE COUNTY'S PERSPECTIVE,
DO YOU GO NORTH FIRST AND WORK YOUR WAY DOWN SOUTH? WHAT'S GOING ON? A LOT OF TIMES. SO THIS IS A REALLY COMPLICATED QUESTION AND IT'S KIND OF
WORKS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT DEPENDING ON WHERE WE'RE AT. 
          THE GENERAL THEORY IS WE TRY TO HANDLE THE COUNTY ROAD PLAN FIRST,
RIGHT? WE WE ADOPT. IN FACT, I'M KIND OF BEHIND SCHEDULE ON GETTING IT DONE FOR THIS NEXT FISCAL
YEAR, WHICH BEGINS OCTOBER 1ST. BUT WE TYPICALLY REBUILD OUR OVERLAY 60 TO 70 MILES OF ROAD FOR
THE COUNTY COUNTY ROADS. 
          AND THE WORKING THEORY IS ALWAYS. WE DO THAT FIRST AND WE STEP IN AND BE IN OUR LOCAL. 
          THE. AND THIS YEAR HAS BEEN AN EXTREMELY CHALLENGING YEAR,
AND EVEN THOUGH I KNOW WE'VE BEEN DRY FOR THE LAST MONTH, MONTH AND A HALF THROUGH THE SPRING, THROUGH THE WINTER,
WE ACTUALLY HAVE A LOT OF RAIN AND THE WORKING DAYS. 
          IF YOU LOOK AT THE WORKING DAYS TOTAL SO FAR THIS FISCAL YEAR WE ACTUALLY HAVE HAD LESS
THAN I'VE HAD PROBABLY SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE. SO WE ARE BEHIND ON DOING OUR COUNTY ROAD PLAN AND GETTING THAT
DONE. 
          NOW, I TOLD Y'ALL THE GENERAL RULE THAT WE ALWAYS TRY TO DO THE COUNTY ROADS FIRST,
THEN WE DO THE LOCALS. 
          SOMETIMES THAT'S NOT EFFICIENT. SO WE DO, I DO ASK OUR SUPERINTENDENTS TO BE LOOKING AT
OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE'RE PROGRESSING IN OUR ROAD PLAN VERY WELL. AND WE'RE DOING ROADS RIGHT NEXT TO THE CITY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          WE TRY TO WORK WITHIN IN THAT GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION. 
          SO SOMETIMES WE'RE ABLE TO JUMP AHEAD AND GET THAT DONE. 
          THIS YEAR HAS NOT BEEN THAT CASE. WISH, REALLY WISH IT WOULD. 
          WE WOULD HAVE, IF YOU REMEMBER, I KNOW YOU REMEMBER MAYOR. 
          SO I'M ABOUT TO SAY SOMETHING THAT PROBABLY IS NOT FAIR,
BUT ARE PROBABLY ISN'T NEEDED TO BE SAID. 
          BUT, YOU KNOW, WE WERE THE 2025 GOT PUSHED OFF TILL RIGHT AT OCTOBER. 
          OUR GOAL WAS TO GET HERE. IN FACT, I THINK I STOOD HERE AT YOUR CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND
SAID, OH YEAH, OUR GOAL IS TO MAYBE BE HERE IN JANUARY. 
          OBVIOUSLY THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT RIGHT BECAUSE Y'ALL ARE STILL WAITING ON OUR ON THE 25
ROSE. 
          SO NOW WE'RE HOPING TO MOVE IN HERE AND DO 25 AND 26. 
          WELL, NOT HOPING WE WILL DO 25 AND 26 ONCE WE MOVE IN. 
          ANGLETON. WE'RE DOING IT ALL IN THE NEXT WEEK OR TWO. 
          BUT THAT THE EARLIER YOU GET YOUR ROADS IN WHEN WE,
WE TRY TO GIVE YOU, I THINK NOVEMBER, RIGHT. WE ASK FOR THE ROADS. NOT A LOT, NOT ALL THE CITIES MEET THAT DEADLINE,
BUT THE EARLIER YOU GET IT IN, IT'S EASIER FOR US TO SCHEDULE. IT'S EASIER TO MOVE FORWARD,
AND WE'RE ABOUT 5050 ON GETTING THEM EARLIER IN THE YEAR WHEN WE DO GET THEM IN EARLY. 
          BUT I CAN'T MAKE ANY PROMISES THAT IF YOU GET THIS TO ME BY NOVEMBER 1ST,
WE'RE GOING TO GET IT DONE IN THE EARLY PART OF THE YEAR. 
          IT REALLY JUST DEPENDS ON WHERE WE'RE AT AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE,
WHICH I'M WORKING ON MY WAY TO FOR 2027. 
          SO THAT'S KIND OF, WELL, A GOOD SEGUE TO MY NEXT QUESTION. 
          YOU MENTIONED THE SUPERINTENDENT TALKING ABOUT THE ROAD THAT,
YOU KNOW, ON HENDERSON. 
          INSTEAD OF STOPPING, HE SAID, HEY, LET'S FINISH IT. YES,
SIR. 
          YOU'VE GOT SOME COUNTY ROADS THAT COME RIGHT INTO OUR CITY. AND IF YOU'RE WORKING ON YOUR
ROAD PLAN RIGHT NOW FOR THE COUNTY, PLEASE GIVE US A HEADS UP. NOW, IF BEFORE WE GO AND TAKE ACTION ON THESE ROADS THAT WE'RE
GOING TO DO, IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT'S COMING IN, LIKE LET'S SAY ANCHOR ROAD IS BEING OVERLAID,
LET'S GO AHEAD AND PUT SOME FUNDS IN THERE AND LET'S JUST GO DO THE WHOLE ROAD RIGHT THERE. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO THAT HELP US AS WELL. 
          LET US KNOW IF THERE'S SOME A ROAD THAT'S COMING INTO OUR CITY THAT WE CAN GO AHEAD AND
BUDGET FOR. 
          THAT IS A VERY FAIR REQUEST. AND WHAT I'LL DO,
I SHOULD HAVE A DRAFT OF THAT ROAD PLAN TOGETHER BY THE END OF THIS WEEK. 
          I'LL SEND IT TO HECTOR AND LET HIM HAVE IT. LET HIM LOOK AT THAT WHEN HE'S WORKING UP
Y'ALL'S LIST. 
          GOOD. DOES THAT WORK? THAT WORKS FOR ME. AWESOME. 
          [00:45:05]
ANYBODY ELSE? THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT HERE TONIGHT. 
          I, I, I'M HOPING THAT THAT'S A, THAT'S A GOOD AMOUNT OF ROADS THAT I THINK WILL HELP,
ALTHOUGH GIFFORD LANE AND SOME OF THE OTHER ONES ARE STILL NOT ON THE LIST. 
          SO I'LL LEAVE THAT TO YOU ALL. SO GOOD. YES. THANK YOU. 
          THANKS, HECTOR. ANYTHING ELSE? NO, JUST I WILL SAY THAT WE DID HAVE GIFFORD LANDING GEAR
ON THE LIST. 
          LAST YEAR WE PROPOSED EVERYTHING, BUT WESTERN AVENUE AND HENDERSON WERE THE ONES THAT WERE
SELECTED. 
          BUT AGAIN, I'M BRINGING A WHOLE NOTHER LIST,
RIGHT? SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS FOLLOWING YEAR'S PROJECTS. AND THOSE WILL BE ON THAT LIST TO
SELECT FROM. 
          GOOD. SO WE ALSO NEED TO KEEP IN MIND WHAT WE WANT TO DO. 
          DO WE WANT TO ACTUALLY DO FULL REBUILDS. WE WANT TO GET THEM ALL THOSE A MILE OF THOSE I'M
SORRY. 
          OR DO WE WANT TO ACTUALLY DO MILL AND OVERLAYS,
WHICH IS WHAT WE GET TWO MILES OF. 
          I THINK WE NEED YOU TO GIVE US THAT RECOMMENDATION ON THOSE ROADS. 
          OKAY. I MEAN, GIFFORD LANE, I WOULD THINK YOU'D HAVE TO DO A COMPLETE REBUILD. 
          GIFFORD ROAD, YOU GOT TO DO A FULL REBUILD. THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING TOO. BUT ALSO KNOW
THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S OTHER FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES AT PLAY HERE. 
          SO HOW DO YOU WANT TO APPROACH IT. WHAT DO YOU WHAT'S YOUR RECOMMENDATION? I WOULD SAY I WOULD SAY WE DO SOME REBUILDS. I WOULD SAY WE DO GIFFORD LANE,
GIFFORD ROAD. 
          THAT'S MY PERSONAL OPINION JUST AT THE SECOND. 
          YEP. AND THAT SHOULD PUT US RIGHT AT A MILE,
I THINK. 
          I THINK 1.1 MILES TO BE EXACT, IF I REMEMBER,
I MEASURED IT OUT LAST TIME. 
          SO OKAY, THERE'S SOME THERE'S SOME OTHER THINGS AT PLAY ON ON THE GILFORD ROAD ONE. 
          RIGHT. I THINK YOU HAVE SOME DRAINAGE ISSUES. 
          YOU HAVE TO. SO WE DID GET THOSE. AND THOSE DRAINAGE ISSUES WERE ACTUALLY PRIMARILY ON THE
SMALL STRETCH OF ROAD THERE. 
          THAT IS A KAYLYN LANE ACTUALLY IS A ROAD THAT WAS NEVER ACTUALLY FULLY DEVELOPED. 
          IT'S JUST A GRAVEL ROAD. WE HAD TO ACTUALLY CUT DITCHES ON ONE END OF IT AND INSTALL
CULVERTS BECAUSE IT JUST WAS NONEXISTENT. 
          WE HAD TO REPAIR THE DRAINAGE GOING FROM THE END OF THAT STREET ALL THE WAY TO FAIR DRIVE
AS PART OF IT DRAINED BACK TO FAIR DRIVE. 
          PART OF IT DRAINED BACK TOWARDS GIFFORD. GIFFORD LANE. 
          SO YOU'VE GOT YOU'VE ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF THAT. NOW THAT WE'VE DONE THAT. YES. NOW WE CAN
ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, REPAIR THAT ROADWAY. STEP AHEAD. 
          TRY TO BE WHEN I CAN. SO WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT GIFFORD LANE,
GIFFORD ROAD, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A FULL REBUILD ALL THE WAY FROM CEMETERY ALL THE WAY TO PHILLIPS ON GIFFORD, THAT WOULD BE PART OF THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE PART OF A COUNTY
COLLABORATION, AS YOU JUST MENTIONED, THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE PARTNERING WITH THE COUNTY BECAUSE GOING FROM
ONCE YOU GET PAST GIFFORD LANE, NOT TOO FAR AFTER THAT, IT TURNS INTO COUNTY. 
          EXACTLY. YES. AND THEN BUT YOU WOULD GO TO THE EDGE OF OUR OUR CITY LIMITS. 
          YES. SO THAT'S SOMETHING FOR MR. HANKS TO KEEP IN MIND. 
          YES. AND WE'LL HAVE TO COORDINATE WITH THEM ON THAT TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. 
          AND THEN ARE THERE ANY OTHER ROADS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF TOWN THAT MIGHT BE AVAILABLE THAT
YOU WOULD THINK NEED TO BE DONE AT THE SAME TIME? NOW, THAT MIGHT FALL OUTSIDE THE ONE MILE THAT WE GET,
BUT I NEED TO I NEED TO KNOW WHAT ELSE YOU COULD DO IN THAT AREA. 
          IF YOU'RE MOBILIZING FOR A WHOLE AREA OF WHAT YOU COULD DO. ONE THAT COMES TO MIND IS ONE
OF THE ROADS THAT WE LEFT AGAIN, UNDEVELOPED, AND THAT'D BE A WAYNE DRIVE OR A CAITLIN LANE,
SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          THAT COULD BE SOMETHING WE TRY TO PAVE AS WELL JUST TO,
YOU KNOW, ROAD THAT NEVER ACTUALLY GOT PAVED. 
          TO THE COME TO MIND. OKAY. AND THEN BEING THAT WAYNE DRIVE IS IN TECHNICALLY PRECINCT
FOUR. 
          I'M JUST SAYING I KNOW, I KNOW MATT'S BACK THERE SMILING BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS MY
POSITION ON THAT. 
          I APPRECIATE THE CENTRAL SERVICE CENTER, BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE OTHER SERVICE
CENTERS THAT CAN HELP. 
          SO IF WE HAVE THE FUNDING FOR IT, WE DEFINITELY WANT TO TRY TO GET IT DONE. 
          AND WORKING WITH THE COUNTY IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN GOING PRIVATE AND PAYING THAT EXTRA
MARKUP. 
          SO TRYING TO HELP THE TAXPAYERS THERE. THAT'D BE GOOD. 
          IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN THINK OF? NOT ON THE SOUTH SIDE,
NOT AT THE TOP OF MY HEAD. 
          BUT LIKE I SAID, I KNOW I HAVE A ROLLING LIST OF THINGS WE'VE ADDED AND MAYBE DIDN'T GET
APPROVED ONE YEAR, BUT YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A ROLLING LIST ON THAT AND I'LL BRING ALL THOSE ROADS AND I'LL ALSO
BRING WHAT WE'VE DONE SINCE I GET THE FARTHEST I CAN GO BACK, I THINK WAS 2019. BUT I'LL BRING ALL THAT THAT WE'VE DONE SINCE 2019 AS WELL. 
          OKAY. SO WE CAN KIND OF SHOWCASE WHAT WE HAVE DONE AND KEEP START PUTTING ANCHOR ON YOUR
HIGH LIST BECAUSE COMING IN OFF CEDAR OR TURNING INTO CEDAR, THAT IS THAT'S HARD RIGHT THERE BY CVS. 
          [00:50:03]
IT'D BE NEEDS ATTENTION FOR SURE. ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL,
CAN YOU THINK OF ANY OTHER PLACES THAT ARE LIKE IN REALLY BAD NEED THAT NEED TO STAY ON THE RADAR? I KNOW ARCOLA RIGHT HERE IS ONE, BUT. STREET ON THE WEST SIDE. 
          YEAH. WHY IS THAT A STREET? FUTURE DEVELOPMENT,
I KNOW, BUT. 
          OKAY. IT IS A KIND OF A STREET. GENERALLY SPEAKING. 
          WHEN ALL THINGS LINE UP, MEANING DRAINAGE AND OTHER PROJECTS ANYTIME YOU CAN WORK ON A
ROAD AND JUST PRETTY MUCH EVERY ROAD NEEDS IT, RIGHT? TO SOME EXTENT. WOULD WOULD THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PERHAPS HAVE SOME INSIGHT ON THIS? YEAH. OUR TRUCKS ARE NOT FRIENDLY TO ASPHALT. 
          DEFINITELY. THAT WAS MY IMMEDIATE REACTION. WAS CHENANGO THE ONE RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT? FIRE TRUCKS TEARING IT UP. I WAS ABOUT TO SAY,
WELL, THERE'S SOME THERE'S SOME WEIRD STUFF GOING THERE BEHIND THE OLD WELLS FARGO, TOO, WITH THE CONCRETE THERE AND ALL OF THAT. 
          EVERYONE THINKS IT'S A ROUTE. FROM WHERE TO WHERE ON SHENANGO. 
          LIKE JUST AT YOUR PLACE. OR 35 TO MAGNOLIA. YEAH,
THE WHOLE THING. 
          NOW TO THE COURTHOUSE. IT'S JUST SOME MINOR POTHOLES,
BUT. 
          IT'S A HIGH TRAFFIC FLOW AREA AND JUST THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. 
          BUT THEY GO TO THE COUNTY COURTHOUSE. OF COURSE. 
          YEAH. THAT STREET LIGHT. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. MATT. APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE TONIGHT. THANKS,
MATT. 
          THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. BACK TO TEN. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON CONTRACT RENEWAL AND
SERVICE 
          [10. Discussion and possible action on contract renewal and service modifications with Waste 
Connections.  ]
MODIFICATIONS WITH WASTE CONNECTIONS. WHO WANTS TO GET TO PRESENT THIS ONE? THIS HAS BEEN A. WHEN DID WE START THIS DISCUSSION? A YEAR AGO. A YEAR AGO LAST SEPTEMBER? YEAH. COUNCIL WERE IN DISCUSSION AND TRYING TO SEE
IF WE ARE PROPOSING AN AGREEMENT WITH WASTE CONNECTION TO IN THE RECYCLING AS A REGULAR TRASH
CURBSIDE SERVICE TO ONCE A MONTH AND GO BACK TO JUST ONCE A WEEK,
GARBAGE PICKUP, AN OPEN DISCUSSION, IT WILL BE AT 1525 A MONTH VERSUS THE 2362. IF YOU WANT THE ADDITIONAL CART,
THE ADDITIONAL CART WOULD BE 787 A MONTH. 
          QUESTIONS. THERE'S A WHOLE LOT TO UNPACK THERE,
SUZIE. 
          THERE REALLY IS. YOU JUST KIND OF WENT RIGHT THROUGH IT. 
          SO SO ALSO THE RECYCLING PROGRAM, WE DID WORK WITH THE MAYOR AND CAME UP WITH A SOLUTION
THAT I THINK BENEFITS THE COMMUNITY PRETTY WELL. 
          IS DOING A CITYWIDE COLLECTION ONCE A MONTH OR WE TAKE ONE OF OUR TRUCKS,
WE PARK IT IN A PARKING LOT. 
          SOME OF THE CITIES WE'VE WORKED WITH, THEY USE THEIR HIGH SCHOOL PARKING LOT,
AND WE SIT THERE FOR FOUR HOURS AND ALLOW ALL THE RESIDENTS TO BRING ANY RECYCLE THAT THEY HAVE TO US, WHETHER THERE'S STILL AN OPPORTUNITY TO RECYCLE,
AND THEY'RE NOT PAYING THE COST TO HAVE THE CURBSIDE RECYCLING. 
          WITH THE WITH SOME OF THE PROBLEMS THAT YOU'VE EXPERIENCED IN RECYCLABLES. 
          HOW HAS THAT WORKED OUT FOR YOU GUYS? HAS THAT BEEN PROBLEMATIC AS WELL OR. 
          YEAH, THERE WAS CYCLE IS MAINLY CONTAMINATED RECYCLED AT THIS POINT. 
          SO IT'S IT'S GOING TO THE LANDFILL ONCE IT'S CONTAMINATED. 
          SO YOU'RE FINDING THAT THE, THAT RECYCLABLES THAT YOU'RE REAR LOADING ON THE TRUCKS ARE
STILL GOING TO THE LANDFILL, RIGHT? WITH THIS PROGRAM THAT WE'RE PROPOSING,
IT'S TYPICALLY WE'RE ABLE TO KEEP IT CLEAN, RECYCLE BECAUSE WE'RE PHYSICALLY PUTTING IT IN THE TRUCK. 
          RIGHT NOW, WE'RE PICKING IT UP WITH AN ASL AUTOMATED SIDE LOAD. 
          [00:55:04]
SO WE'RE NOT ABLE TO SEE WHAT'S IN THE CART UNTIL IT'S DUMPED INTO THE TRUCK. 
          ARE YOU GOING TO RESTRICT THE THINGS THAT CAN BE RECYCLED? YES. WE'LL PUT TOGETHER A DETAILED LIST OF WHAT CAN AND CANNOT BE RECYCLED. 
          AND THEN WE'LL ALSO HAVE, YOU KNOW, AN AREA OFF TO THE SIDE IF SOMEBODY DOES BRING TRASH. 
          IS IT A DIFFERENT LIST THAN WE HAVE NOW? I'M NOT SURE WHAT LIST Y'ALL HAVE NOW. 
          I CAN I'M GOING TO GET AN UPDATED LIST FROM THE RECYCLE CENTER. 
          OKAY. BECAUSE THEY CHANGE. OKAY. YEAH. SOMETIMES MONTHLY. 
          OKAY. AND HERE'S THE REASON FOR MY QUESTION. JUST WITH REGARD TO YOUR BOTTOM LINE,
IF WE'RE STILL IN A SITUATION WHERE YOU'RE YOU GUYS ARE COMING OUT AND DOING THIS, AND THEN AT THAT POINT YOU'RE HAVING TO HAUL IT OFF. 
          LET'S JUST ASSUME MAYBE YOU'RE HAVING TO HAUL SOME OF IT OFF TO THE LANDFILL ANYWAY. 
          EVEN WITH OVERSIGHT, PEOPLE BRING, YOU KNOW,
SOME GARBAGE BAG OR SOMETHING, WHATEVER. 
          I DON'T KNOW HOW Y'ALL ARE GOING TO HANDLE THIS,
BUT THAT DRIVES UP YOUR COSTS, WHICH THEN CAUSES YOU TO PASS ON THOSE COSTS TO THAT. 
          YEAH. SO WE'RE, I MEAN, WITH THIS PROPOSAL CYCLE PROGRAM,
THE COST WHEN IT GOES BACK TO THE CITY BECAUSE IT WOULD BE MORE ON US IF WE'RE IF WE'RE DUMPING CONTAMINATED STUFF IN THE PARKING LOT INTO OUR TRUCK,
AND THAT'S GOING TO BE ON US. 
          THAT'S NOT GOING TO FALL BACK ON US. WELL, UNTIL THE NEXT CYCLE. 
          WELL, THEY'RE GOING TO BE ON SITE. THEY'RE GOING TO WATCH WHAT GOES INTO THEIR TRUCK IS
WHAT THEY'RE SAYING. 
          OKAY. YEAH. YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? YEAH. THAT EVEN WITH SUPERVISION AND CONTAMINATION HAPPENS OR COST,
LET'S JUST SAY WE WANT YOU TO BE AS SUCCESSFUL AS POSSIBLE WITH THIS. YEAH. LET'S SAY YOU YOU'RE NOT SUCCESSFUL. AND YOU GET
UP THERE AND FOR WHATEVER REASON, THEY WON'T TAKE IT. OR THE PRICE GOES DOWN SO LOW,
YOU DON'T YOU'RE LOSING MONEY DRIVING TO THE RECYCLING CENTER. 
          YEAH. THE, THE SCARE IS THAT COMES BACK IN THE NEXT BILLING CYCLE. 
          YEAH. IF, IF IT BECOMES SO BIG THAT WE'RE HAVING TO TAKE MULTIPLE TRUCKS TO THE RECYCLE
CENTER THAT COULD THAT COULD CHANGE SOME THINGS. 
          BUT I THINK WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET MOST OF THE CITY'S RECYCLE ON THIS ONE TRUCK. 
          AGAIN, WITH US STANDING THERE AND INSPECTING EVERYTHING WE PUT IN THE TRUCK,
I DON'T SEE IT BEING A COST THAT'S GOING TO CONTAMINATE IT. 
          AND IF IT DOES, WE'LL DO CONTAMINATED. WE'LL JUST TAKE IT TO OUR LANDFILL AND RECYCLE
CENTER. 
          YOU KNOW, THEY THEY DOUBLED THE COST AS SOON AS IT'S CONTAMINATED BECAUSE THEY GOT TO PAY
TO TRANSPORT. 
          BUT DOES THE CONTRACT ENFORCE THIS DURING THE PERIOD OF THE CONTRACT THAT YOU CAN'T GET
OUT OF IT DURING THAT TIME? SO LET'S SAY THE FIRST MONTH OR LET'S SAY THREE MONTHS,
FIRST THREE MONTHS, IT DOESN'T GO VERY WELL. 
          ARE YOU JUST GOING TO DROP IT OR DOES THE CONTRACT GOING TO SAY,
YOU HAVE TO DO IT THROUGH THE LIFE OF THE CONTRACT? THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING WE CAN DISCUSS AND PUT IT INTO THE CONTRACT. BUT YEAH,
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. I MEAN, BECAUSE AGAIN, I THINK. I THINK THIS COUNCIL IS INTERESTED IN WORKING WITH YOU GUYS FOR
THE BENEFIT OF, OF NOT ONLY YOUR BUSINESS, BUT ULTIMATELY THE CITIZENS OF ANGLETON. 
          YEAH. I DON'T SEE A PROBLEM PUTTING IT IN THERE TO SOLIDIFY IT TO WHERE OVER THE LIFE OF
THE CONTRACT, HOW MANY OTHER TOWNS DO YOU DO THIS PICKING FOR FOR RECYCLES. 
          WELL, I GOT A PARKING LOT. WE'RE PROPOSING WE DON'T HAVE ANY HERE THAT WE RUN OUT OF OUR
ANGLETON YARD. 
          WHEN I WAS UP IN PALESTINE, TEXAS. THIS IS SOMETHING WE DID. 
          I THINK IT WAS FAIRFIELD. YEAH. UP THERE. AND HOW DID IT. 
          AND THEY'RE THEY'RE PARTNERED WITH THEIR HIGH SCHOOL AND THEY HAD LIKE A,
LIKE A RECYCLED CLUB AT THE HIGH SCHOOL. 
          SO THE STUDENTS WOULD ORGANIZE GETTING ALL THE RECYCLED FROM THE SCHOOLS TO,
TO US IN THE PARKING LOT. 
          IT WOULD ALSO GO AROUND TO SENIOR CITIZENS WHO CAN'T CAN'T GET THEIR STUFF OVER THERE AND
COLLECT IT. 
          AND IT ALSO HELP US IN THE PARKING LOT, YOU KNOW,
GRABBING STUFF OFF PEOPLE'S TRAILERS IN THE TRUCK BEDS. 
          SO DID YOU CONSIDER THAT A SUCCESS? YEAH, WE'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR OVER A DECADE. 
          AND I THINK THE TOWN REALLY ENJOYS IT. IT GIVES EVERYBODY AN OPPORTUNITY. 
          AND MOST PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO BRING RECYCLE TO THE PARKING LOT,
THEY'RE TYPICALLY YOUR, YOUR BEST RECYCLERS. THAT'S RIGHT. THE ONES WHO ARE MAKING SURE IT'S CLEAN AND THEY'RE NOT
DUMPING PIZZA BOXES AND STUFF LIKE THAT IN THERE. 
          IF A ISD ANGLETON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT WANTED TO REACH OUT FOR A CLUB OR SOMETHING, WHO WOULD THEY REACH OUT TO? I THINK REACH OUT TO ME OR WILL. 
          YEAH, WE'D LOVE TO PARTNER WITH THEM. THERE WAS A QUESTION I HAD FOR ANOTHER QUESTION I
HAD FOR YOU. 
          [01:00:01]
IF YOU COULD HAVE JUST ONE ONE SINGLE ITEM IN THE TRUCK,
WHAT WOULD IT BE? WHAT'S YOUR WHAT'S YOUR BEST PRODUCT AS FAR AS RECYCLED CARDBOARD. 
          IT WAS JUST A CARDBOARD RECYCLE PROGRAM. IT WOULD WORK FOR EVERYBODY,
BUT IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT. 
          AMAZON IS THE LIFEBLOOD OF ALL OF US. I'M REALLY SURPRISED THEY DON'T PICK UP EMPTY BOXES
FROM PEOPLE. 
          SO SUSIE WENT THROUGH IT PRETTY FAST. BUT LET'S. 
          THIS IS GOING FROM FOR THE RESIDENTS THAT WANT TO UNDERSTAND THIS,
THIS IS GOING FROM TWICE A WEEK SERVICE TO ONCE A WEEK SERVICE. 
          YOU'RE GETTING. THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE THE RECYCLING CART AWAY FROM YOU UNLESS YOU ASK FOR
AN ADDITIONAL CART, WHICH WILL COME AT A COST. AND THAT EXTRA COST IS $7.87 A MONTH. 
          SO YOU'D HAVE TWO CARTS. THAT MEANS TWO CARTS GET PICKED UP ONCE A WEEK,
NOT ONE CART ON ONE DAY, ONE CART ON THE OTHER. IT'S BOTH OF THEM WILL BE THAT SAME DAY. 
          NEITHER A RECYCLING, NEITHER ARE RECYCLING. RECYCLING PROGRAM GOES AWAY FROM CURBSIDE AND
GOES TO A CENTRAL LOCATION ONCE A MONTH THAT YOU CAN GET PICKED UP. HEAVY TRASH PICKUP. PLEASE EXPLAIN THAT IT STAYS THE SAME. 
          CORRECT. HEAVY TRASH. ALL THAT STAYS THE SAME. 
          SO EVERY TWO WEEKS HEAVY TRASH GETS PICKED UP,
WHICH CURRENTLY THE CONTRACT SAYS EVERY WEEK IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE PICKED UP, BUT WE MODIFIED THAT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T KEEP UP WITH ONCE A WEEK. 
          SO THAT'S A CONCESSION ON THE CITY SIDE AND ALL THAT TO SAY THE BIGGEST CHANGE IS GOING TO
BE ONCE A WEEK SERVICE AND THE RECYCLING GOING TO A CENTRAL LOCATION. PRICE WISE, THE BASE RATE FOR RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMER GOES TO 1525. 
          THAT'S DOWN FROM $23.62 A MONTH. SO THAT'S A SAVINGS OF $8.37. 
          BUT IF YOU NEED THAT EXTRA CART, THAT'S AN EXTRA 787. 
          SO YOU GO TO 1256. SAVE $0.50 AT THE END OF THE YEAR AT $12. 
          SO BUT WHAT YOU DO GET IS TWO CARTS ONCE A WEEK. 
          AND FOR A SENIOR OR SOMEBODY WHO'S. THAT'S THE. 
          THE THING I KEEP HEARING THE MOST IN THE COMMUNITY IS I DON'T MAKE THAT MUCH TRASH. 
          WHY AM I SUBSIDIZING THOSE THAT DO FOR MY SERVICE? SO THIS IS ACTUALLY MORE OF A PAY FOR PLAY FOR PLAY. 
          SO IF YOU'RE USING JUST ONE CART AND YOU CAN FILL UP ONE CART AND BE FINE WITH ONCE A
WEEK, THEN YOU'RE GOING TO SAVE MONEY. AND IF YOU DON'T,
THEN YOU'RE GOING TO BE FLAT. 
          SO WE'RE NOT RAISING THE RATES. WE'RE ACTUALLY SAVING THEM. WHAT WAS IT,
$0.50? IF YOU ADD. IF YOU ADD THE SECOND CARD, YOU STILL SAVE YOURSELF $0.50. 
          AND ALSO THE SECOND CARD YOU'RE NOT YOU'RE NOT SIGNING INTO ANY CONTRACT OR ANYTHING WITH
US. 
          AND YOU CAN HAVE IT FOR A FEW MONTHS, NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER AND THEN TAKE IT OFF THE BILL. 
          THANK YOU FOR POINTING THAT OUT TOO, BECAUSE I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE DO THAT DURING THE
HOLIDAYS. 
          BUT THAT'S A LARGE SAVINGS FOR SOMEBODY WHO DOESN'T NEED. 
          YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. SO I FEEL LIKE THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST OUTCOME WE COULD GET FOR THE
CITIZENS. 
          AND WE'VE BEEN AT THIS FOR A YEAR NOW. FOR THE,
FOR THOSE THAT ARE SENIORS OR SINGLE LIVING BY THEMSELVES OR, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE GOING TO PAY LESS. IT'S ALSO WAY LESS WEAR AND TEAR ON THE ROADS. 
          THANK YOU FOR POINTING THAT OUT. THAT WAS GOING TO BE WHAT I WANTED TO SAY. IT'S WHERE WE
WILL BE ON THE ROADS TWO DAYS A WEEK IN THIS TOWN NOW. 
          YEAH. RECYCLE. RECYCLE. RECYCLING GOES TO A CENTRAL LOCATION. 
          YEAH. TODAY? YEAH. THREE DAYS A WEEK. YEAH. THREE DAYS. 
          WELL, TECHNICALLY, DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU CAN GET YOUR HEAVY TRASH DAY,
IT COULD BE A FOUR WEEK TURN OFF OUR STREETS. 
          AND JUST FOR THE RECORD, MY WIFE IS TOTALLY AGAINST THIS. SHE DOES NOT WANT TO GO TO ONCE
A WEEK SERVICE, BUT I HAVE A FEELING I'M GOING TO HEAR ABOUT IT TOO. 
          I MEAN. IF WE WENT, IF WE WENT TO WE KEPT TWICE A WEEK SERVICE,
HOW MUCH WOULD OUR BILLS GO UP? BECAUSE I REMEMBER THIS DISCUSSION. YEAH, I DON'T,
I DON'T HAVE THOSE NUMBERS IN FRONT OF ME, BUT IT WOULD PROBABLY, I MEAN, IF WE JUST REMOVE THE RECYCLE FROM $1.50 LESS THAN NOW,
I WOULD SAY BALLPARK. 
          YEAH. I THINK THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE, THE BEST OPTIONS. 
          [01:05:07]
WELL, MY QUESTION, I GUESS, IS IF WE WERE TO ADOPT THIS CHANGE,
HOW LONG DOES IT AFFECT? IT'D BE A FIVE YEAR AGREEMENT. THE CURRENT CONTRACT ENDS NEXT YEAR IN DECEMBER. 
          YEAH. BUT THE LAST CONTRACT WAS TEN YEARS. YES. 
          YES. SO. WE'LL PUT AN OPTION FOR THE CITY. IF YOU CHOOSE TO EXTEND IT. 
          THERE'LL BE A FIVE YEAR EXTENSION OPTION ON THERE. BUT THAT WOULD REQUIRE IT DOESN'T AUTO
KICK IN. 
          I THINK WE ALSO NEED TO ADDRESS THE COMMERCIAL DISCUSSION BECAUSE THAT HAS NOT BEEN TALKED
ABOUT. 
          THE COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS WILL BE SERVICED BY WASTE CONNECTIONS. 
          THEY WILL DO THEIR BILLING. SO THE BILLING GOES AWAY FROM THE CITY. 
          WE WON'T BILL ANYMORE FOR THE COMMERCIAL WASTE. 
          CONNECTIONS WILL HANDLE THAT. WHICH ALSO MEANS THEY TAKE ON THE RISK OF THE BAD DEBT. 
          DOES THEIR. DOES THEIR FREQUENT. THE CITY WILL STILL CONTINUE WITH THE RESIDENTIAL
BUILDING AND THE. 
          THE COMMERCIAL. THEIR FREQUENCY WILL STAY THE SAME AS IT IS NOW. 
          YEAH, WE'LL JUST WE'LL WE'LL GET THE LIST FROM THE CITY AND WE'LL SIGN EVERYBODY UP AND
WE'LL JUST START BUILDING DIRECTLY. 
          THAT MEANS WE TAKE ON 100% OF BAD DEBT. ALSO WE'RE GOING TO BE RAISING THE FRANCHISE FEE
TO THE CITY FOR THE COMMERCIAL BUILDING FROM 5% TO 8% TO HELP OFFSET SOME OF THE LOST REVENUE OF LOWERING THE PRICE DOWN FOR THE ONES
WE SERVICE. 
          I'M ASSUMING WE PROBABLY NEED TO BLAST THIS OUT AND GET SOME FEEDBACK ON IT. 
          ABSOLUTELY. I MEAN, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE ROLLED IT OUT PUBLICLY. 
          SO I DEFINITELY THINK IT NEEDS TO MARKETING. 
          I DID HAVE A QUESTION THOUGH ON THE ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE,
THE. 
          THEIR RATE STAYS. WHAT WAS, WHAT WAS THEIR RATE AGAIN? I CAN'T FIND IT IN HERE ON THE COMMERCIAL BUILDING. 
          THE RATE WILL GO UP BY I BELIEVE IT WAS 2 OR 3%. 
          I DON'T HAVE IT. THAT'S ON THE COMMERCIAL FRANCHISE FEE,
RIGHT. 
          5% TO 8%. BUT YOU'RE ALSO RAISING THE RATE 3%. 
          YEAH. FOR THE FOR THE NEXT YEAR. THAT'S ANOTHER QUESTION I HAD FOR YOU AS WELL. 
          BECAUSE IN THE TERMS WE DON'T OUTLINE THE COST ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE. 
          I COULD. I COULD HAVE THOSE BY TOMORROW AND. OKAY,
LET ME FINISH THIS ONE ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE. I ASKED THE QUESTION IN THE MEETING ABOUT LAW OFFICES AND SMALL MOM AND POP SHOPS
THAT THEY USUALLY USE THE SAME 96 GALLON CONTAINER. SO THAT'S NOT A COMMERCIAL BUILDING THAT IS BUILT LIKE A RESIDENTIAL. 
          IT'S ONLY THE ONES THAT HAVE ROLL OFFS AND THE BIGGER ONES,
CORRECT METAL CONTAINERS AND BUILDING PLASTIC CITY BUILDINGS. 
          RIGHT. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS STATED. 
          WELL, I WAS JUST CURIOUS THAT, THAT THAT THREE PLUS HOW MANY PERCENT WOULD YOU SAY TWO OR
ANOTHER 2 OR 3%? 6% TOTAL. WHAT DOES THAT WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE ON ONE OF OUR AVERAGE COMMERCIAL WHEN
YOUR AVERAGE COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS HERE IN THE CITY, WHAT IS THAT? WHAT DOES THAT COME OUT TO? 3%? YEAH, YEAH. LIKE I SAID, I WOULD HAVE TO GET THE NUMBERS PUT TOGETHER,
BUT I MEAN, IF YOU'RE PAYING $100 A MONTH, YOU'RE LOOKING AT AN EXTRA $3 A MONTH. 
          OKAY. I WASN'T, I WASN'T SURE WHAT, WHAT THE AVERAGE SIZE WAS,
AND I WAS JUST KIND OF KIND OF CURIOUS. 
          I'D SAY THE AVERAGE SIZE FOR ANGLETON IS PROBABLY A FOUR YARD. 
          OKAY. I AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW THE PRICE OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD,
BUT YEAH. 
          SO CURRENTLY A FOUR YARD ONCE A WEEK IS $212. 
          SO A LITTLE MORE THAN THAT. YEAH. IN THE CONTRACT,
THE CPI IS STILL IN THERE ONCE A YEAR. 
          [01:10:06]
CPI ADJUSTMENT. YES. SO NOTHING CHANGES ON THAT SIDE OF THE CONTRACT. 
          I BELIEVE WE DISCUSSED PUTTING A CAP ON IT. YES. 
          THAT'S WHAT WE ASKED FOR. YEAH. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT GOT PUT IN THERE. 
          YEAH. WE'RE WE'RE I'M WAITING FOR MY LEGAL TEAM TO DRAW UP THE CONTRACT FOR Y'ALL TO
REVIEW AND PUT ANY CHANGES Y'ALL WANT TO SEE IN THERE. 
          OKAY. MY LAST REQUEST THAT 2000 ANNUALLY. CAN YOU BUMP THAT TO 3000? YEAH, WE CAN DO THAT. FIVE. I DON'T KNOW. I'LL TRY. 
          I'LL DEFINITELY TRY. THANK YOU. I DO HAVE A QUESTION. 
          SO IN FRIENDSWOOD, YOU ALL SIGNED A CONTRACT WITH THEM THAT WAS IMPLEMENTED IN JANUARY,
AND THEY GOT TO KEEP THEIR TWO DAY A WEEK AND THEIR RECYCLING AND THEIR PRICE WENT TO 2310. AND THAT WAS ONLY NINE MONTHS AGO. 
          A LOT OF OUR GOAL IS TO SAVE OUR STREETS, YOU KNOW,
AND EVEN GOING DOWN, WE WERE TRYING TO SWITCH TO ASF BECAUSE THERE'S STILL CURBSIDE. THEY GOT TAKE OFF SERVICE REAR LOADER TRUCKS. 
          WE'RE TRYING TO SWITCH THEM TO AUTOMATED SERVICE. 
          THEY'RE, THEY'RE STILL INTERESTED IN SWITCHING TO IT JUST WITH LAST YEAR,
WITH THE ECONOMY GOING UP IN FLUX, IT HAD TO DO WITH CAPITAL INVESTMENT ON OUR PART. 
          BUT WITH A REALLY, REALLY GOOD CONTRACT FOR 25 YEARS AGO THAT REALLY. 
          RIGHT NOW. THE REASON EVERYBODY RIGHT NOW, CURRENTLY EVERY EVERY CITY IS PROBABLY
DISCUSSING SWITCHING TO ONCE MORE. 
          THE STATE OF TEXAS IS ONE OF THE FEW STATES LEFT THAT HAS TWICE A WEEK SERVICE IN OUR
CITIES. 
          IT'S JUST GETTING TWO COSTS. MR. DICKENS, DO THE CANS GET BIGGER? THE CARDS? NO, NO THEY'RE NOT. THEY'RE TOO BIG ALREADY. 
          GOOD ON YOUR HOUSE. I KNOW SIX PEOPLE IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD. 
          FOUR KIDS MIGHT NOT NECESSARILY BE TOO BIG. DO THEY MAKE A BIGGER ONE FOR RESIDENTIAL USE? NOT FOR RESIDENTIAL USE. 
          THEY MAKE BIG ONES FOR APARTMENTS INSIDE CITIES WHERE IT'S HARD TO MANEUVER TRUCKS AND. 
          BUT EVEN THAT FRIENDS WOULD RATE FOR TWICE A WEEK SERVICE. 
          WE'RE PAYING. WE HAVE A BETTER DEAL NOW. WE'RE AT $20.54 TWICE A WEEK. 
          YEAH, I BELIEVE FRIENDS WOULD RATE JUMP $5 PER HOME. 
          THIS LAST CONTRACT. AND YOU'RE SAYING MONTHLY. 
          SO ONCE A MONTH FOR RECYCLING. ONCE A MONTH THEY COME SATURDAY AND SET UP AND PEOPLE CAN
BRING THEIR STUFF. 
          SO PEOPLE'S FRONT PORCHES OR GARAGES OR EXTRA SPACE WILL BECOME THEIR RECYCLE HOLDING. 
          WELL, WHAT I WAS THINKING IS YOU'D PROBABLY GO BACK AND BUY YOUR OWN GARBAGE CAN,
LIKE WE USED TO DO WHEN I WAS GROWING UP. 
          YOU HAD YOUR OWN NOT A CITY ISSUED GARBAGE CAN. 
          YOU HAVE TO PROBABLY MAKE THAT YOUR RECYCLING CAN STORE IT AND WAIT IT AND HOLD IT OUT,
BUT JUST TRYING TO CONSOLIDATE SPACE. 
          IS THERE ANY SAVINGS WE COULD. TALK ABOUT IF WE JUST DID CARDBOARD RECYCLING. 
          YEAH. I MEAN, I WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK AND TALK TO OUR,
OUR TEAM ABOUT IT AND SEE WHAT THE PRICING WOULD LOOK LIKE ON THAT. 
          YOU COULD GET THE 5000. YEAH, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT. 
          ONE OF MY CONCERNS IS JUST THE BALLOON CAUSE OF THE CLAUSE WITH THE CPI ATTACHED TO CPI. 
          OBVIOUSLY THEY CAN'T CONTROL THE MARKET OR HOW THINGS WILL ADJUST OR INFLATE. 
          I KNOW THEY DON'T WANT TO LOSE MONEY, BUT I THINK WE GOT TO BE CAREFUL WITH THAT BECAUSE
WE COULD JUST IN CIRCUMSTANCES TRY TO PRODUCE A LOWER COST. DEPENDING ON. HOW THINGS I GUESS GROW WOULD BE NICE IF THEY LET IT OFF FOR A
LITTLE WHILE, BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE DOING THAT. I DON'T KNOW,
IT JUST MIGHT BE RIGHT BACK IN THE SAME BOAT. 
          WE ARE PROPOSING TO CAP IT. NO, I'M JUST THINKING. 
          WE GOT TO BE MINDFUL OF THAT. I THINK A LITTLE MORE DIGGING INTO THE DETAILS OF WHICH CPI
IS BEING USED. 
          [01:15:06]
I'D LIKE TO THE ONE FOR THE GREATER HOUSTON AREA TO BE USED RATHER THAN NATIONWIDE. 
          THAT ONE'S DEFINITELY FOR REGIONALS BECAUSE THAT'S OUR MARKET,
RIGHT? THAT'S WHAT WE'RE COMPETING AGAINST. WE WANT PEOPLE TO LIVE IN ANGLETON AND WE WANT TO
SELL IT. 
          YEAH. YOU MAKE THAT ONE IN THE NOTES. YEAH. 
          WHAT ELSE? COUNCIL. LIKE I SAID, I JUST THINK WE NEED TO GET SOME BUY IN FROM THE
COMMUNITY AND NEED TO GO HOME AND HEAR THAT I'M AN IDIOT. I'VE ALREADY HEARD IT. 
          I THINK IF YOU GET THE EXTRA CAN, BUT THEN YOU JUST. 
          YOU'RE $0.50 LESS. AND YOU DON'T GET AND YOU DON'T GET RECYCLING,
BUT ONCE A MONTH. 
          YEAH. AND I JUST DON'T I DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE IF YOU RECYCLE REGULARLY. 
          IT'S NOW TRASH NOW CONVERTED RECYCLING BACK INTO THE TRASH,
WHICH IS PROBABLY WHERE IT ENDS UP ANYWAY. 
          YOU MIGHT BE THE RESPONSE. YEAH, I KNOW, BUT IF YOU DO BE THE RESPONSIBLE PERSON,
YOU PUT IT, DO IT THE RIGHT WAY. YOU PUT YOUR RECYCLING TOGETHER. 
          NOW IT'S JUST CONVERTED TO TRASH, WHICH MEANS INSTEAD OF HAVING THREE CANS A WEEK. 
          TWO FOR TRASH. TUESDAY. FRIDAY. RECYCLING. THURSDAY. 
          WHATEVER. THREE NOW YOU'RE CUTTING IT DOWN TO ONE EVEN WITH TWO CANS. 
          TWO CANS VERSUS THREE IF YOU LOOK AT IT. CANS. 
          96 WHATEVER GALLONS. GALLON. SO I KNOW AT OUR HOUSE WE GAVE UP OUR GREEN CAN ONCE IT WAS
DISCUSSED THAT THERE WAS NO RECYCLING GOING ON. SO ALL OF OUR RECYCLING GOES INTO THE REGULAR TRASH. 
          AND WE'VE LIVED THROUGH IT. WE DO FOLLOW THE REQUESTS,
THOUGH, TO CUT DOWN, ESPECIALLY OUR CARDBOARD BOXES, TO TEAR THOSE APART AND BREAK THEM DOWN. DON'T JUST PUT AN OPEN,
GIGANTIC AMAZON BOX IN THERE THAT YEAH, THAT THERE'S, THERE'S A WAY TO MAKE IT FIT A 96 GALLONS. 
          TWO OF THEM DO ALL THAT WORK SO I COULD GO IN THE LANDFILL. 
          THAT'S RIGHT. SO CAN YOU. CAN I HAVE THREE CANS? CAN I HAVE FOUR CANS? 787. 787 CAN. YEAH, BUT,
I MEAN, THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING SOMEBODY MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER. 
          I GUESS MY ONLY ARGUMENT WAS WHAT I'M ARGUING IS I AGREE WITH YOU,
BUT YOU'VE JUST NOW INCREASED THAT PERSON'S FOR THREE CANS, RIGHT? YOU'RE DOING THREE A WEEK ON A SINGLE DAY VERSUS THREE SPREAD OUT OVER A WEEK. 
          THREE THREE SPREAD OUT OVER A WEEK IS LESS THAN HAVING YOUR MAIN PLAN PLUS TWO ADDITIONAL
CANS. 
          YOU'RE PAYING ABOUT ANOTHER $7 PER. AND THAT'S THE WAY I'M LOOKING AT IT. 
          THAT'S I'M JUST SAYING, IF YOU LOOK AT IT THAT WAY,
I'M JUST TRYING TO. 
          IF YOU'RE WILLING TO. IF YOU CAN MAKE IT IN. ONE CAN. 
          IF YOU MAKE IT ON ONE CAN, THIS IS A GREAT DEAL FOR YOU. 
          THAT'S RIGHT. IF YOU NEED TWO CANS, I THINK WE NEED TO GET. 
          YOU NEED TWICE A WEEK SERVICE. THE ENTIRE CITY'S HELPING YOU PAY FOR THAT BILL. 
          WE'RE A TOUCAN FAMILY, ARE WE? I'M GOING TO POUR A PAD AND PUT A FENCE AROUND ALL THIS
GARBAGE. 
          WATCH YOUR DRIVEWAY. YOU GOT FOUR CANS, LIKE FOUR OF THEM. 
          YEAH. THE THING THAT OVERWHELMINGLY APPEALS TO ME,
THOUGH, IS FEWER HEAVY, HEAVY TRUCKS ON OUR DWINDLING INFRASTRUCTURE OF STREETS. IT IS A YES,
I'VE DONE THIS IN FOUR CITIES NOW, ONE WITH PALESTINIAN IN ONE OF THEM, AND THE REST WERE OUT IN MISSISSIPPI AND TENNESSEE. 
          EVERY EVERY CITY ALWAYS HAS THE SAME CONCERNS OF ONE CAR WON'T BE ENOUGH. 
          THEY ALWAYS TELL US TO 50% OF THE CITY IS GOING TO HAVE AN EXTRA CAR. 
          USUALLY WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE, ABOUT FOUR MONTHS INTO IT,
ABOUT ANYWHERE FROM 5 TO 10% ACTUALLY NEED AN EXTRA CAR. 
          WOW. WELL, I BELIEVE THAT YOU GO FIRST. NO, I MEAN YOUR FAMILY. 
          NO, IT FEELS LIKE IT FEELS LIKE AN ORGANIZATIONAL THING. 
          WHY DON'T YOU FIGURE OUT HOW TO ORGANIZE? THEN YOU DON'T FORGET TO PUT YOUR TRASH IN THE
CAN. 
          WELL, AND WHAT HE'S SAYING IS THAT IS THAT IS THAT ON THOSE TWO PICKUP DAYS,
THAT CAN IS GOING TO THE ROAD HALF FULL, 
          [01:20:03]
HALF FULL. RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. IT'S JUST AN ORGANIZATION THING YOU HAVE TO
ORGANIZE. YEAH. 
          THE SECOND SERVICE DAY, WE FINISHED THE ROUNDS ABOUT FOUR HOURS EARLIER THAN NORMAL,
JUST BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T EVEN PUT THEIR CARS OUT ON SECOND SERVICE DAY. AND A LOT OF TIMES WHEN THEY DO, IT'S MAYBE 1 OR 2 BAGS OF TRASH. 
          YES, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE DOING IT JUST BECAUSE IT'S AVAILABLE. 
          YEAH, THAT'S WELL THAT'S SIGNIFICANT. I MEAN,
FOUR HOURS. 
          YEAH. I LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE PEOPLE STILL BURN THEIR TRASH. 
          EVEN WITH OUR CURRENT SERVICE. SO, CHIEF NORRIS,
YOU WILL BE HEARING FROM ME. 
          IF THIS PASSES. BECAUSE I'M SURE IT WILL INCREASE THE INNER CITY BURNING. 
          AND WE'LL GO PUT THEM OUT. I'M NOT SAYING THIS IS GOING TO BE AN EASY ONE. 
          AND THE COUNCIL CAN ABSOLUTELY JUST DECIDE. DON'T TAKE ANY ACTION AND LET THE CONTRACT IN
AND GO OUT FOR REBID. 
          BUT I'M AFRAID WHAT WE'RE GOING TO FIND IS WE'RE NOT GOING TO SEE ANY SAVINGS. THE ONLY
THING WE'LL SEE IS COSTING GOING UP. 
          SO IS IT. IS IT NOT WORTH EXPLORING? WHAT? GOING OUT FOR ANOTHER ONE? I MEAN, YOU GOT ANOTHER YEAR WITH THIS WASTE CONNECTIONS,
RIGHT? YEAH. I THINK THE CONTRACT ENDS NEXT YEAR. RIGHT? 2027. YEAH. CHIEF, DO YOU HAVE ANY INPUT? DO YOU HAVE ANY INPUT ON WHETHER TO GO OUT FOR BIDS? I THINK THIS IS A GOOD DEAL. 
          MAYOR HAS WORKED REALLY HARD AND WORKING WITH THE WASTE CONNECTIONS,
LIKE I SAID, FOR MANY YEARS. 
          WE CERTAINLY DO THAT. IT'S ALSO IT'S LIKE YOU SAID,
THIS IS JUST DISCUSSION TONIGHT. 
          SO WE'LL PUBLICIZE IT AS COUNCILMAN KAREN WANTS AND SEE HOW OFTEN THEY RING YOUR PHONE AND
EMAILS. 
          SO. JUST TO, JUST TO CATCH EVERYONE UP TO SPEED. 
          THIS, THIS STEMMED FROM THE CONVERSATION WE HAD WITH THE TOWN HALL WHERE THE CITIZENS WERE
COMPLAINING ABOUT THEIR COST OF THEIR THE BILL. 
          AND THAT'S HOW THIS CAME ABOUT, BECAUSE YOU SUGGESTED GETTING AWAY WITH THE RECYCLING.
CORRECT. THAT'S WHAT STARTED THE NEGOTIATIONS WITH WASTE CONNECTIONS, BECAUSE ME AND BARBARA WENT OUT TO THE LANDFILL AND LEARNED THE WILL. 
          HE EXPLAINED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS. AND BASICALLY,
RIGHT NOW IT'S A THREE DAY A WEEK TRASH PICKUP IN THIS TOWN. 
          I MEAN, MOST OF THE STUFF IS CONTAMINATED AND THEY'RE HAVING TO SHIP IT TO HOUSTON. 
          IT COSTS MORE. WHO'S TO SAY IF OUR CONTRACT ENDS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO COME BACK AND GO,
HEY, WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO RECYCLING ANYMORE FOR Y'ALL. 
          I CAN TELL YOU, IF YOU WENT OUT TO BID AND WANTED TO KEEP RECYCLING,
THAT WAS 100%. 
          CITY OF ARCOLA WENT OUT TO BID. AND PRICE WENT UP 4 OR $5. WHEN WE'RE ALREADY TRYING TO GO OUT AND ASK FOR MORE MONEY ON THE WATER AND SEWER
SIDE, WHEN SOME OF THE. THIS IS JUST TO GET RELIEF TO SOME PEOPLE THAT THERE'S A ONE OR A TWO
PERSON, THREE PERSON HOUSEHOLD THAT ONLY NEEDS ONE CANDLE A WEEK AND GOING OUT TO BID ANYBODY WHO, YOU KNOW, WE ALREADY HAVE THE CAPITAL INVESTED IN THE CITY,
ANY OF THE COMPETITORS WHO ARE PLACING BIDS. 
          YOU KNOW, THAT'S A MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF CAPITAL INVESTMENT ON THEIR END. 
          AND IF IT'S A FIVE YEAR CONTRACT, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PRICE IT TO WHERE THEY MAKE
THEIR MONEY BACK ON THAT EQUIPMENT THAT THEY'RE INVESTING. 
          SO THEIR PRICE IS GOING TO AND RECYCLE OUT HERE,
SINCE THE ONLY FACILITY TO TAKE IT TO IS FCC, WHICH IS NORTHWEST OR NORTHEAST HOUSTON OFF 610. 
          THAT'S A TWO HOUR ROUND TRIP. SO THE COST OF DOING CURBSIDE RECYCLE OUT HERE IN ANGLETON
IS IT'S GOING TO BE A SUBSTANTIAL BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE SEEING QUITE A RELIEF IF YOU'RE DROPPING THE SECOND
SERVICE, THOUGH, AND THE RECYCLING, THE CURBSIDE PICKUP,
RECYCLING, I MEAN, YOU CAN'T SIT HERE AND ACT LIKE THAT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, THE BIGGEST CHRISTMAS GIFT YOU'VE EVER RECEIVED. 
          YEAH. BUT I MEAN, IT'S SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN WHAT WE'RE GETTING NOW. 
          AND OUR, OUR MARGINS ARE ACTUALLY GOING A LITTLE BIT LOWER THAN WHAT THEY'RE CURRENTLY AT, AS MAYOR HAS BEEN WORKING WITH ME ON THIS FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. 
          AND, AND I THINK THIS IS THE THIRD SET OF NUMBERS I'VE PRESENTED TO YOU. 
          [01:25:03]
I THINK IT'S THE THIRD OR FOURTH ONE. HE'S BEEN HE'S BEEN HOLDING OUR FEET TO THE FIRE. 
          I WOULD LIKE TO MAYOR WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER SARTIN SAYS. 
          I WOULD LIKE TO SOLICIT CITIZEN FEEDBACK TO. ABSOLUTELY. 
          BUT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO SURVEY ABOUT DEMOGRAPHICS AND ALL THIS STUFF. 
          I WANT A SURVEY OF HOW MANY CANS WE GO TO THIS TWO DAY A WEEK,
ONE DAY A WEEK. 
          WHAT'S YOUR OPINION? SO THE CITY OF FRIENDSWOOD DID THAT LAST YEAR. 
          THAT'S HOW WE GOT TO THE CONTRACT WE SIGNED IN JANUARY WHERE THEY PUT IT OUT. 
          IT WAS A I THINK IT WAS A QR CODE. EACH HOUSE GOT ONE VOTE ON IT AND BASICALLY JUST HAD A
SERIES OF QUESTIONS OF WHAT TYPES OF SERVICES DO YOU WANT TO SEE? AND THEY LISTED OUT ALL THE DIFFERENT OPTIONS. AND I
STARTED ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, ARE YOU WILLING TO PAY MORE FOR TWICE A WEEK PICKUP? ARE YOU WILLING TO PAY MORE FOR CURBSIDE RECYCLING? AND THAT'S WHERE THEY COLLECTED ALL THAT DATA. 
          AND THAT'S HOW THEY CAME TO REALIZE THAT A LOT OF THEIR CITIZENS DIDN'T MIND PAYING MORE. 
          BUT AGAIN, EVERY EVERY CITY IS DIFFERENT. I KNOW,
I KNOW, THINGS ARE PRETTY DIFFERENT. 
          SO. CHIEF. IS THAT SOMETHING WE COULD DO? JUST PUT OUT A BETTER SURVEY ABOUT. 
          ABSOLUTELY. IF THE COUNCIL WILL DIRECT ME OR SEND ME AN EMAIL AS TO WHAT QUESTIONS Y'ALL
WANT, I WILL GET THAT OUT TO MARTHA AND HER TEAM. OKAY. 
          I CAN PROBABLY GET A COPY OF THE SACHSE THAT WOULD THAT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL IF YOU COULD
DO THAT. 
          YEAH. IF YOU COULD SEND THAT TO CHIEF FACTOR,
THAT'D BE GREAT. 
          SO HE CAN GO FROM TWO CARTS TO ONE CART. I MEAN,
THIS IS AN $8.37 SAVINGS PER MONTH, OVER $100 A YEAR TO A SENIOR. THAT'S. AND THE PEOPLE THAT CAME TO THAT TOWN HALL THAT NIGHT WERE MOSTLY SENIORS
AND ELDERLY AND PEOPLE THAT WERE, YOU KNOW, THE PEOPLE THAT DON'T EVEN USE 2000 GALLONS OF WATER IN A MONTH THAT
THEY'RE HAVING TO PAY FOR. 
          SO WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO OFFSET THAT COST FOR THOSE PEOPLE. 
          SO I MEAN THIS IS SUBSTANTIAL I THINK. NOW IT DOES COME WITH ITS HEART. 
          HEARTBURN GOING FROM TWO DAYS TO ONE DAY IS NOT GOING TO BE EASY. 
          MY FAMILY'S NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. WE DON'T WANT TO DO IT. BUT I'M NOT THINKING I'M
I'M THINKING ABOUT MY FAMILY, BUT I'M ALSO THINKING ABOUT THE CITY AS A WHOLE AND THE,
THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T USE THAT SECOND SERVICE. 
          SO HOW DO WE GET THEM RELIEF? I'LL PROBABLY BUY THE EXTRA CARD,
HONESTLY. 
          BUT AND IN THEORY, YOU SAVE $0.50 A MONTH, TWO QUARTERS BACK IN YOUR POCKET. 
          I MEAN, I'M SAYING IT'S YOU DON'T PAY MORE, YOU PAY LESS. 
          IT'S NOT YOU'RE STILL PAYING LESS WITH THE SECOND CARD. 
          WELL, WE POTENTIALLY ALL SAVE MONEY ON WEAR,
ON HAIR, ON THE STREETS. 
          100%. LOOK AT THAT CURVE THAT YOU KEEP SAYING RIGHT THERE BY YOUR HOUSE. 
          IT STILL KEEPS GETTING HIT. COUNCILWOMAN. DANIEL'S POINT ON THE RECYCLING IS TRUE ONCE A
ONCE A MONTH, YOU KNOW. ARE PEOPLE REALLY GOING TO RECYCLE ONCE A MONTH? I MEAN, I'VE SEEN IT. YOU'RE YOU'RE SUPER DIEHARDS,
WILL. 
          BUT THE REST PROBABLY NOT. SOME PEOPLE WHO RECYCLE ONE MONTH AND THEN THEY GO 4 OR 5
MONTHS WITHOUT COMING, AND THEN THEY'LL SHOW UP WITH TWO TRUCKLOADS. 
          SO I FEEL LIKE THAT'S A CYCLE. YOU KNOW, IT'S IN THE MIND. 
          IT'S OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND. YOU STOP THINKING ABOUT IT,
YOU STOP DOING IT. 
          BUT IF YOU'RE WILLING TO WORK AT IT, I MEAN,
JUST LIKE ANYTHING, IF YOU'RE WILLING TO PUT IN THE EFFORT, YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN. SO I WOULD RECOMMEND,
YOU KNOW, US PARTNERING WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND GETTING STUDENTS INVOLVED BECAUSE THEY'LL, THEY'LL PUSH IT WITH THEIR PARENTS,
THEY'LL PUSH IT WITH THEIR FRIENDS, PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS AND ALL THAT. 
          IT'S A QUESTION OF STORAGE. THAT'S THE PROBLEM. 
          SOMEBODY WHO RECYCLES ALL THE TIME IN AN APARTMENT,
WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO WITH THE MONTHS WORTH OF RECYCLING? I'LL TELL YOU. I'LL BE SHOWING UP TO DROP OFF EVERYTHING FROM CHRISTMAS RIGHT THERE THE
1ST OF JANUARY. 
          BUT TO YOUR POINT ABOUT AN APARTMENT, HOW ARE THEY DOING IT NOW IF IT'S JUST ONE CENTRAL
DUMPSTER FOR AN APARTMENT? YEAH. THAT'S TRUE. THEY CAN'T RECYCLE AN APARTMENT UNLESS THEY'RE STORING IT IN A BLUE BAG
AND LEAVING IT IN A CLOSET OR ON THEIR PATIO. 
          THERE'S THERE'S. WE DON'T OFFER RECYCLING FOR A COMMERCIAL CUSTOMER. 
          THAT'S A GOOD POINT. HOW MANY LOADS? I MEAN,
REALISTICALLY, THOUGH, A BALLPARK NUMBER OUT THERE. 
          ACTUALLY, CLEAN IN A FISCAL CALENDAR YEAR IS A PERCENTAGE LIKE THE REAL NUMBER? 
          [01:30:08]
MAYBE 5%. YEAH, I'M GOOD WITH PERCENT. YEAH. IT'S NOT MUCH. 
          WILL YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING? JUST WANT TO SIT IN THE BACK. 
          IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY THOUGH, I THOUGHT THE SURVEY I SAW SHOWED THAT MOST OUR CITIZENS
WANTED RECYCLING. 
          I DID NOT READ THAT RIGHT. THEY DO. BUT IF THEY IF THEY UNDERSTAND THAT 95% OF THE
RECYCLING IS GOING TO THE LANDFILL, I DON'T THINK IT MATTERS NECESSARILY TO THOSE PEOPLE. THAT'S WHERE MOST MOST RESIDENTS
DON'T KNOW THE COST ASSOCIATED TO RECYCLING PROGRAM. 
          EVERYBODY WANTS IT UNTIL YOU SEE THE COST ASSOCIATED TO IT. 
          THAT'S WHY I WOULD I MEAN, I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU'RE SAYING,
BUT I'M GUESSING THAT MOST OF THE PEOPLE THAT APPLY TO THOSE SURVEYS HAVE NOT CONSIDERED OR LISTENED TO ANY OF THESE MEETINGS. I'M SAYING ALL BUT MOST DO NOT. 
          WELL, I MEAN, WE'RE GOING TO THROW THAT SURVEY OUT AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO HEAR ALL THEIR
STUFF ON FACEBOOK. SO ON THE QR CODE. 
          WAS THAT SOMETHING THAT THEY JUST SENT OUT IN THEIR WATER BILL OR. 
          I BELIEVE THEY DID. I'LL DOUBLE CHECK WITH THEM TOMORROW AND GET BACK WITH YOU. 
          I FEEL LIKE. IF WE PUT OUT THIS QR CODE IN THE SURVEY,
THE FIRST PAGE OR TWO SHOULD BE LIKE FACTS. 
          IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW. ABSOLUTELY. LIKE HERE'S,
HERE'S HOW WE GOT HERE. 
          NOT 95% OF ALL RECYCLING ENDS UP IN A LANDFILL BECAUSE OF CONTAMINATION. 
          CAN WE JUST DO A VIDEO OF THE MAYOR EDUCATING PEOPLE ABOUT THIS? EVEN SO, WITH THAT 5%, THAT MAKES IT RIGHT. THE RECYCLING CENTER CAN'T SELL IT TO ANYBODY
AND TAKE IT TO A LANDFILL BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE STORAGE. I UNDERSTAND. 
          I JUST MEANT I JUST MEANT THAT. I DON'T KNOW. 
          EDUCATION IS USUALLY THE BEST WAY I WOULD THINK. 
          WE'RE NOT GOING TO CHANGE OUR HEARTS AND MINDS. THAT'S THE REALITY. SO BUT THE MORE YOU
KNOW, RIGHT. WELL, THE MORE YOU KNOW. OKAY. I THINK WE HAVE I KNOW WE BEAT THIS DEAD HORSE. 
          DO Y'ALL WANT TO. SO I THINK WE NEED TO ALERT THE CITIZENS,
GET SOME FEEDBACK. 
          HOW GOOD IS THE THE PROPOSAL? THREE, 30 DAYS. 
          90 DAYS. YEAH, AS LONG AS Y'ALL. AS LONG AS Y'ALL NEED TO VOTE ON IT. 
          SO THAT GIVES US SOME TIME TO GET CITIZEN FEEDBACK AND UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT BETTER,
DIGEST IT, SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE WANT TO CHANGE. BUT WE DID GET THE ONE CHANGE THE CPI FOR THE
LOCAL AREA, THAT'S FOR SURE GOING TO BE IN THERE. AND CHANGING THAT 2000 TO 3000. 
          SOME PEOPLE KEEP SAYING FIVE. THAT IS 2000 ON TOP OF THE KAPO ON TOP OF THE K O THAT WE
DON'T HAVE. 
          500 A MONTH TOO GOOD. OH. VERY NICE. THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE? MATT WILL. THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT. 
          APPRECIATE IT. AND I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK Y'ALL BEEN DOING BEHIND THE SCENES ON THIS.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. 
          GOOD NIGHT. THANK YOU. I'M GOING TO JUMP BECAUSE. 
          YOU'VE BEEN HERE AND YOU WERE HERE LATE LAST TIME,
SO I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT. 
          OKAY, LET'S JUMP DOWN AND TALK ABOUT IT FIRST. 
          WHICH ONE DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT FIRST? I'LL JUST SAY. 
          OKAY. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ANIMAL CONTROL SHELTER. 
          17. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON APPROVING ORDINANCE NUMBER 908017. 
          [17. Discussion and possible action on approving Ordinance No. 20260908-017 amending the  Code of Ordinances of the City of Angleton, Chapter 4, Animals, Article III. Impoundment  of Certain Animals, by adding a new Section 4-85, Animal Shelter and Adoption Donation  Program with subsections (a)(1) and reserving Sections 4-86 through 4-94; providing a  repealing clause; providing a savings clause; and providing for severability. ]
AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF ANGLETON. CHAPTER FOUR ANIMALS ARTICLE
THREE IMPOUNDMENT OF CERTAIN ANIMALS BY ADDING A NEW SECTION 4-85 ANIMAL SHELTER AND ADOPTION DONATION PROGRAM WITH SUBSECTIONS A1 AND RESERVING SECTIONS 4-8,
SIX TWO, 4-94, PROVIDING A REPEALING CLAUSE, PROVIDING FOR A SAVINGS CLAUSE AND PROVIDING FOR
SEVERABILITY. 
          SUSAN MAYOR COUNCIL. WITH THIS ORDINANCE, IT WILL GIVE US PERMISSION TO PUT ON OUR UTILITY BILLING, A DONATION THAT WILL BE GIVEN TO THE ANIMAL SHELTER FOR A FACILITY OR ANY OF THE USAGE THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO BE USED IN THE ANIMAL 
          [01:35:02]
SHELTER PROGRAM. IT IS A DONATION. IT IS TO BE OPT IN OR OPT OUT. 
          VOLUNTARY. VOLUNTARY. IS UNDERWATER. BUT ONCE YOU SIGN UP FOR IT,
IT IS A CONTINUAL THING. IT'S NOT ONE MONTH AND THEN YOU YOU HAVE TO CALL BACK IN AND TAKE IT OFF. 
          WE CANNOT MONITOR THAT. ARE YOU GOING TO OPT EVERYBODY IN TO START OR IS IT. 
          I WANT TO UNDERSTAND HOW THAT'S GOING TO GO. THEY HAVE TO TELL YOU. 
          THEY HAVE TO CALL IN AND SAY, I WANT THIS ON MY WHEN YOU WHEN YOU COME IN TO OPEN YOUR
WATER BILL TO SET UP YOUR ACCOUNT. 
          IT'S ON THE LIST AND YOU CHECK OFF YOU. I'M TALKING ABOUT THE EXISTING CUSTOMERS NOW. 
          THE EXISTING CUSTOMERS NOW WILL HAVE TO CALL IT IN. 
          OKAY. THAT'S WHY I WANT TO MAKE SURE. IS THERE A WAY TO LIKE,
MAKE THAT ANNOUNCEMENT IN THE WATER BILL THAT. 
          YEAH. YES. WE'LL PUT IT ON ON OUR WEB PAGE. AND AND IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT TO
CONTRIBUTE MORE THAN THE $5, BECAUSE THIS IS A RECURRING THING WITH YOUR MONTHLY BILLING ONCE YOU SIGN UP. 
          BUT IF YOU WANT TO DO A ONE TIME DONATION, WE DO HAVE THAT ALREADY AVAILABLE ONLINE,
AND YOU CAN GO TO THAT WEBSITE AND DONATE TO THE TO THE ANIMAL SHELTER THROUGH THAT WAY. AND THAT'S JUST A ONE TIME DEAL,
WHATEVER AMOUNT YOU WANT. 
          OKAY. AND PEOPLE KEEP ASKING ME, THEY SAY, HOW DO I KNOW THAT THIS MONEY IS GOING TO BE
COLLECTED AND ACTUALLY GO TO THE ANIMAL SHELTER? I DO HAVE A FUND SET UP FOR ANIMAL ANIMAL SHELTER DONATIONS ONLY,
AND IS TO BE USED FOR THE DOCTORS THAT COME IN, THE VETS THAT COME IN,
ANY SUPPLIES, ANY CAGES OR ANYTHING, AND THEN STRICTLY THAT FUND. 
          THAT FUND CAN BE AUDITED AT ANY TIME. OPEN REQUEST,
WHATEVER THEY LIKE. 
          THEY CAN COME AND LOOK AT IT OR THEY CAN CALL AND WE CAN GIVE THEM THE RECEIPTS FOR WHAT
THAT IS BEING USED FOR. 
          IT'S NOT INTERMINGLED WITH ANY OF THE CITY'S FUNDS. 
          SO WE'RE USING TO DO THE REPAIRS. I BELIEVE IT AND I KNOW IT,
BUT TO THE AVERAGE CITIZEN WHO DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THAT AT HOME, THEY'RE AFRAID. WELL, THE COMMON THING I GET A LOT IS WHERE IS MY MONEY GOING? YOU KNOW, ANY DONATION THAT THE CITY DOES HAVE ON ANY OF OUR ACCOUNTS,
ANY SERVICES, IS A DEDICATED FUND FOR THAT PARTICULAR DONATION. 
          IT IS NOT INTERMINGLED WITH ANY CITY'S FUNDING. 
          OKAY. THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW IT'S GOING TO, RIGHT? YES. UNTIL SUSIE RETIRES AGAIN. THAT'S NOT HAPPENING FOR A WHILE. 
          I UNDERSTAND THE SKEPTICISM FROM SOME ON THIS,
BUT I ALSO THINK SHORT OF US GOING AND DOING BAKE SALES IN FRONT OF LA CASONA OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN SOME PEOPLE WOULD LIKE A MORE EFFICIENT
WAY OF MAKING SURE THAT THE MONEY THEY'RE DONATING FOR THE ANIMALS IS GOING TO THE ANIMAL SHELTER. AND I THINK THIS IS A GREAT STEP FORWARD FOR DOING THAT. 
          AND LIKE YOU SAID, THERE IS ANOTHER AVENUE OF DONATING. 
          AND I'M ALSO NOT BEING PIE IN THE SKY THINKING THAT THIS DONATION IS GOING TO SOLVE ALL OF
OUR PROBLEMS. THE CITY IS GOING TO HAVE TO STEP UP AND FUND SOME OF THIS ON OUR OWN TOO. 
          SO I THINK IN CONJUNCTION TOGETHER, THIS HELPS US GET THERE. 
          CORRECT. BUT THE ANIMAL CONTROL FUND, THE DONATION FUND THAT WE HAVE,
IT HAS SUPPLIED A LOT OF THE VETS THAT COME IN, A LOT OF THE PROGRAMS THAT THE ANIMAL SHELTER HAS
PROVIDED, THE FREE ADOPTIONS, OR THEY COME IN AND GET THEIR SHOT. 
          THE MICROCHIPPING THAT IS BEING PAID OUT OF THAT FUND. 
          SO HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THAT THIS MONEY. FIRST AND FOREMOST GOES TO GETTING A NEW SHELTER,
BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO DONATE FOR A SHELTER, BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO SUBSIDIZE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION SIDE. 
          SO THIS WOULD BE A NEW FUND FOR THIS FOR THE SHELTER. 
          AND WE HAVE A FUND FOR THE DONATIONS FOR THE THINGS THAT. 
          THOSE TWO, TWO FUNDS FOR THE ANIMAL. SO ANY THOUGHTS TO WHAT MISS MCDANIEL SAID? AS OFFERING THIS FUND WILL DRIVE DOWN. I DON'T KNOW. 
          [01:40:03]
SHE WAS ALLUDING TO KEEP ANGLETON BEAUTIFUL,
BUT. DONATIONS. 
          WELL, SUSIE, YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO THAT ABOUT THE AVERAGE DONATIONS FOR THE EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT? I THINK THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS ONE AND THEN KB AS WELL. 
          RIGHT? CORRECT. HAVE YOU SEEN DONATIONS GO DECLINE OVER THE LAST THREE FOUR YEARS? WE DID HAVE SOME DECLINE. YOU KNOW AND THEN THEY'VE COME BACK UP. 
          IT FLUCTUATES DURING THE YEARS. I MEAN THEY REMAIN PRETTY STEADY. 
          KAY AB DOES HAVE A HEALTHY BALANCE ALSO. THEY USE MOST OF THEIR MONEY FOR THE RECYCLING
THAT THEY DO OR SOME OF THE PLANNERS THAT WE HAVE IN THE AREA AND SOME OF THE LIGHTINGS THAT WE HAVE. I DON'T HAVE,
I HAVE NOT SEEN A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THEM. 
          SO IT DOES REMAIN PRETTY STEADY. WASTE CONNECTIONS ALSO CONTRIBUTES TO THE CLEAN UP FOR
CAB. 
          HAVE YOU SEEN ANY. GOES UP AND DOWN. UP AND DOWN. 
          WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. 
          YOU HAVE TO GO UP THERE, THOUGH. DO YOU THINK THIS IS A GOOD PROGRAM? I THINK I THINK YOU JUST HAVE TO GO UP THERE. 
          HONESTLY, I THINK IT WOULD. I THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT PROGRAM TO KIND OF LOOK INTO. 
          AND LIKE SHE SAID, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD OPT OUT OF IT AT ANY TIME OR YOU CAN,
YOU KNOW, KEEP IT STEADY. 
          I MEAN, WE HAVE PEOPLE COME IN AND OUT OF OUR FACILITY IN PERSON TO DONATE TO US. 
          SO, I MEAN, THERE IS ALSO THAT OPTION AS WELL. 
          ACTUALLY MYSELF AND TORY JUST HAD A CONVERSATION TODAY ABOUT POSSIBLY,
MAYBE AROUND CHRISTMAS TIME DOING LIKE A LITTLE VENDOR THING IN OUR PARKING LOT TO WHERE A LOT OF THOSE DONATION FUNDS WOULD GO DIRECTLY INTO THE NEW SHELTER. 
          SO THAT IS ALSO BEING THROWN OUT THERE AS WELL. 
          HAVEN'T FULLY DISCUSSED IT, BUT IT WAS JUST KIND OF TALKED ABOUT JUST A LITTLE BIT TODAY. 
          SO BUT I THINK THE $5 DONATION WITH THE WATERFALL,
I THINK THAT WOULD BE A FANTASTIC WAY TO DO IT, ESPECIALLY WITH THE CITIZENS THAT DON'T COME INTO THE SHELTER. 
          IF THAT'S THE WAY THEY CHOOSE TO DO IT. I THINK THAT WOULD BE A FANTASTIC WAY AS WELL. 
          SO. I DON'T THINK THAT THIS IS GOING TO GET YOU THE MONEY YOU NEED IN ONE YEAR TO BUILD A
NEW SHELTER. 
          HOWEVER, I THINK THE GOAL HERE IS TO BE ABLE TO DEBT SERVICE A NEW BUILDING AND BE ABLE TO
PAY THE THE ANNUAL INSTALLMENTS OFF OF THIS, OR AT LEAST HELP IT JUST BE A GREAT START TO SEE WHERE IT KIND OF GOES,
AND THEN GO FROM THERE AND FIGURE OUT WHAT WE NEED TO DO. 
          WE NEED TO DO MORE BENEFITS OR, YOU KNOW, MORE OUTREACH. 
          I MEAN, WE CAN DO THAT. OKAY. THANK YOU. SUSIE,
WHAT'S YOUR ESTIMATE ON SAVINGS OR COLLECTIONS? I THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD START, AS YOU SAY. 
          I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS DONATION TO GROW TO WHERE IT CAN PAY FOR A BOND ISSUANCE TO BUILD
US A NEW SHELTER. 
          IF WE COULD AT LEAST GET HALF OF A BOND PAYMENT,
THAT'S LESS THAN WHAT EXACTLY A CUSTOMER WOULD HAVE TO PAY THROUGH THEIR TAX RATES INCREASE. $5 A MONTH VERSUS A THREE CENT INCREASE IN THEIR PROPERTY TAX. 
          WHICH WOULD YOU RATHER DO? RIGHT. AND THIS IS VOLUNTARY AND THIS IS VOLUNTARY. 
          SOME HOMES ARE MUCH HIGHER, WOULD PAY A LOT MORE THAN $5 A MONTH. 
          AND THIS WOULD BE STRICTLY FOR THAT. AND YOUR BOND WOULD BE THE SAME THING. 
          YOU WILL HAVE FOR A BOND. IT WOULD BE STRICTLY FOR YOUR ANIMAL CONTROL SHELTER. 
          RIGHT. BUT I THINK AS A DONATION AND YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW MUCH OR HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD DONATE IN. I'D HATE TO MAKE IT MANDATORY,
BUT I THINK STARTING OFF WITH A DONATION, YOU CAN GET A FEEL OF WHAT THE PEOPLE WOULD WANT IN THE CITY. 
          AGREED. OKAY. COUNCIL. WHAT'S YOUR THOUGHTS? YES. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 0908-017. 
          SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN SARTIN,
SECOND BY COUNCILMAN SMITH FOR ADOPTION OF THE ANIMAL SHELTER AND ADOPTION DONATION 
          [01:45:01]
PROGRAM. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS? I THINK IT'S JUST A FIRST SHOT AT TRYING TO SOLVE AN ISSUE AND SEEING WHAT WE CAN DO. WHO'S WILLING? ANYBODY ELSE? ALL RIGHT. CALL FOR THE VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE. 
          AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE EXPEDITED WORK TO GET THIS IN. 
          I THINK YOU WERE INVOLVED TOO, RIGHT? NOT ON THIS ONE. 
          ANOTHER ONE? ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO GO TO ITEM 12 UPDATE DISCUSSION ON CURRENT CITY 
          [12. Update and discussion on current city projects by HDR Engineering.]
PROJECTS BY HDR ENGINEERING. Y'ALL CAN GET UP AND GO NOW. 
          THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT YOU ALL UP. SO I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO HAVE TO STAY HERE LATE AGAIN
ANOTHER NIGHT. 
          THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL. I'VE PROVIDED A LIST ABOUT A WEEK AGO,
SO WE MET WITH ALL THE PROJECT MANAGERS AND STUFF TODAY. SO WE GOT A WEEK,
A WEEK, MORE INFORMATION THAT WE'RE READY TO GIVE. 
          LORRAINE STREET. LORRAINE STREET. THE 90% HAS BEEN DONE. 
          WE SUBMITTED THE TECH STOCK. WE GOT A QUESTION BACK TODAY FROM TXDOT. 
          WE RESPONDED BACK TO THEM. SO WE'RE HOPING WE'RE GOING TO GET SOMETHING BACK ON THAT. 
          ALSO WE HAVE IDENTIFIED ADDITIONAL SCOPE. THE ACTUAL EXISTING SANITARY SEWER IS STARTING
TO CAUSE THE ROADS TO ROAD TO COLLAPSE ON LORRAINE STREET THAT HAS NOW BEEN CLOSED OFF AND BARRICADED WHERE IT WILL COME DOWN. 
          SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND ADD SOME EXTRA LINE ITEMS IN THERE TO THAT SECTION TO PUT
IN GOOD SELECT FUEL BACKUP. 
          REBUILD THE ROAD RIGHT THERE. WHEREVER WE'RE STARTING TO SEE FAILING,
THE REST OF THE BIG SANITARY SEWER WOULD BE GROUND FILLED. 
          SO WE'RE DOING THAT RIGHT NOW AS WE SPEAK. HOW FAST CAN YOU GET THAT PROJECT STARTED? WE'VE GOT THAT ROAD BLOCKED OFF. AS SOON AS TEX-DOT SAYS YOU GOT YOUR PERMIT,
WE'RE READY TO GO TO BID. 
          HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN WITH TXDOT? WHEN WAS THAT? A DAY THAT WHEN? ONE DAY. ONE DAY? IT JUST GOT SUBMITTED. 
          YOU JUST SUBMITTED IT? YEP. OKAY. HOW LONG HAS THAT ROAD BEEN CLOSED OFF? FOR A WEEK NOW. 
          WHEN'S YOUR ESTIMATED TIME TO FINISH? BECAUSE YOU SAY THE PROJECT REMAINS ON SCHEDULE. 
          SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? AS SOON. WE WERE EXPECTING TO TAKE IT RIGHT ABOUT END OF SEPTEMBER
OR OCTOBER. 
          SOMEWHERE IN THERE. WE'RE GETTING COMMENTS IN THE MIDDLE OF OCTOBER. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
HOPING. WE'LL GET SOMETHING BACK. AND THEN LIKE I SAID, AS SOON AS WE GET THAT BACK, WE HAD EVERYTHING READY ON THE SPECS DONE, FRONT ENDS DONE. 
          HECTOR'S ALREADY WENT THROUGH, APPROVED IT. WE'VE MADE THE CHANGES DUE TO THE NEW
CONDITIONS OF THE ACTUAL FILM. 
          SO IT'S IT LEGITIMATELY IS READY. WE'RE JUST WAITING FOR THE TEXT TO APPROVE THE JACKET
BOARD UNDERNEATH 288 B AND THE CONNECTION POINT ONTO THE OTHER SIDE. 
          OKAY. GO AHEAD. OKAY. THE 2023 STREET BOND. THIS IS PARRISH AND SILVER SADDLE. OKAY. SO TALK TO EVERYBODY. 
          WE HAD A MEETING TODAY, A PROGRESS MEETING TODAY. 
          THEY HAVE THE EASTERN HALF DONE FROM 35 ALL THE WAY UP TO THE DITCH,
JUST RIGHT BY THE SCHOOL. 
          THEY HAVE PAST ALL THEIR DENSITIES ON THE WEST SIDE,
AND THEY'VE GOT EVERYTHING GRADED ON THE WEST SIDE FROM 35 ALL THE WAY TO MAGNOLIA. 
          THEY'RE GOING TO THE NORTH SIDE OF MAGNOLIA. THEY'RE CURRENTLY STARTING TO PUT IN FORMWORK
AND REBAR. 
          THEY PLAN ON POURING THAT EITHER THURSDAY OR FRIDAY. 
          SO THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT ROAD POURED ALL THE WAY UP TO MAGNOLIA ON THE WEST SIDE. 
          THEY'LL THEN FLIP IT OVER TO BACK TO THE EAST SIDE AND CONTINUE WITH THE STORM SEWER DOWN
ALL THE WAY TO ALL THE WAY TO LIVE OAK. 
          THAT IS CONTINUING ON AS SCHEDULED. THE PROJECT WAS. 
          COMPLETION DATE IS SUPPOSED TO BE. THE 19TH OF MARCH OF THIS NEXT YEAR COMING UP. 
          THEY HAVE BEEN PUTTING ADDITIONAL RESOURCES,
ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT OUT THERE. 
          SO IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO PROBABLY END THE MONTH EARLY. 
          SO WEATHER PERMITTING, MIDDLE OF JANUARY IS WHAT WE'RE HOPING. 
          [01:50:05]
MAYBE EVEN SOONER THAN THAT. BUT THAT'S AS FAR AS THAT. 
          I'LL I'LL GO AHEAD AND DO IT. BUT THEY'VE DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB. 
          CITY STAFF HAS DONE A TERRIFIC JOB CONTROLLING RESIDENTS AND NOTIFICATIONS,
EVERYTHING LIKE THAT. 
          WE'VE HAD EXTREMELY LIMITED COMPLAINTS ON THE PROJECT. 
          THAT'S THAT THAT DIFFICULT? ANYTIME YOU LOWER A ROADWAY AND YOU PUT IN NEW STORM AND
YOU'RE PUTTING IN NEW SERVICE CONNECTIONS, THERE'S A CHANCE THAT A LOT OF UPSET RESIDENTS AND STAFF HAS DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB
COORDINATING WITH THEM. 
          JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I POINT THAT OUT. CURRENTLY WE'VE HAD TWO CHANGE ORDERS. 
          THE FIRST CHANGE ORDER WAS ON SILVER SADDLE. WE HAD TO CHANGE OUT SOME OF THE PIPES DUE TO
THE FLOW LINES OF SOME OF THE DISHES WE WERE TYING INTO. 
          WE HAD TO GO WITH PIPES, BUT WE HAD SUPPLEMENTAL ITEMS. THE CHANGE ORDER NUMBER ONE WAS IN THE AMOUNT OF -$0.20. 
          SO IT DIDN'T INCREASE THE CONTRACT CHANGE. ORDER NUMBER TWO. 
          AGAIN WE HAD SOME FILLED THINGS THAT WE FOUND OVER IN PARRISH STREET THAT REQUIRED US TO
CHANGE SOME OF THE SIZE OF THE PIPES TO ARCH PIPES BECAUSE OF THE CONFLICTS THAT WE WERE HAVING AND THE DEPTHS THAT WERE BEING
CONTROLLED. 
          THAT WAS FOR -$3.20. SO AGAIN, WE WERE ABLE TO DO SOME TRADING OUT ON OUR SUPPLEMENTAL
ITEMS. SO THAT ALL WORKED OUT WELL. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO CHANGE ORDER NUMBER THREE. 
          CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW WE HAVE ESTABLISHED BID ITEMS ON THAT. 
          IT'S JUST GOING TO HAVE TO OVERRUN THOSE BID ITEMS. WHAT WE'VE ENCOUNTERED IS BECAUSE THE SANITARY SEWER IS SO SHALLOW,
IT'S IN THE UPPER END AND THE STORM SURGE SO SHALLOW. 
          WE'RE HAVING CONFLICTS WITH THE SERVICE LINES OF THE SANITARY SEWER CROSSING BACK OR
CROSSING. 
          SO WHAT WE'VE ENDED UP DOING IS WE WENT AHEAD AND RENEGOTIATED A PRICE. 
          WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW THEM TO UTILIZE PVC INSTEAD OF STEEL CASING FOR A,
WHAT WE CALL A CONFLICT MANHOLE, WHICH WILL HAVE A SUMP AND EVERYTHING WILL WORK FINE. 
          WE WERE ABLE TO SAVE $700 ON THAT. WE HAVE SEVERAL OF THOSE. 
          AND THEN ALSO WE HAD TO DO SOME CHANGES ON SOME SIDEWALKS. 
          THIS ONE WILL BE FOR A TOTAL OF $17,478.20. BUT THIS IS ONE OF THE CONTRACTS THAT CAME IN
REALLY GOOD BELOW BUDGET, SO IT SHOULD BE FINE. WE'RE HOLDING THEM TO TO THESE WATCHING THEM VERY CAREFULLY. 
          THERE MAY BE SOME PAVEMENT ITEMS AND SOME SIDEWALK ITEMS THAT WE MAY NOT USE ALL THE WAY,
BUT THAT ONE WILL BE A POSITIVE CHANGE ORDER. 
          WHAT IS THAT? AND GIVE ME SOME DESCRIPTION OF WHAT YOU'RE HAVING TO CHANGE ON THE
SIDEWALK. 
          THE SIDEWALK, THE SIDEWALK. WHAT WE'RE HAVING IS WHEN WE MOVE THE STORM SEWER OVER AND THE
CHANGE ORDER TO THE PIPE GOT WIDER RIGHT? WHEN IT GOT WIDER, WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO ADD SOME EXTRA SIDEWALK,
BUT THERE'S A JOINT ABOUT THREE FEET AWAY, SO IT'LL LOOK VERY SILLY. AND YOU'D HAVE A LOT OF MOVEMENT,
POTENTIAL WATER HOLDING SOMEONE TO GO AND JUST CARRY THAT ON OUT TO MAKE SURE YOU'VE GOT A GOOD QUALITY PRODUCT FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF HOLD. 
          AND IT'S JUST THE ALIGNMENT OF THE JOINTS THE SUNK MANHOLES,
AGAIN, THAT'S WHERE YOU HAVE YOUR, YOUR STORM SEWER HERE, YOUR SANITARY SEWERS,
RIGHT AT THE SAME ELEVATION BECAUSE EVERYTHING'S SO SHALLOW. 
          AND THEN PEOPLE'S SANITARY SEWER SERVICE COMING ACROSS IS RUNNING THROUGH. 
          I CAN'T MOVE ANYTHING UP AND I CAN'T MOVE ANYTHING DOWN. 
          SO WHAT? WE'RE DOING WHAT'S CALLED A CONFLICT MANHOLE IN. 
          WE HAD THOSE BECAUSE WE KNEW WE WOULD HAVE SOME OF THEM. IT'S JUST WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A
COUPLE EXTRA MORE. AND WE WERE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE AND SAY $700 ON EACH ONE OF THEM BY CHANGING OUT THE MATERIAL OF THE CARRYING CASE THROUGH IT. OKAY. 
          LET'S SEE. I THINK THAT'S EVERYTHING ON THAT. 
          OKAY. MOVING ON TO THE ELEVATED STORAGE TANK. 
          SOME EXCITING NEWS. WE'VE GOT EVERYTHING APPROVED FOR A D. 
          THEY HAVE THE CONTRACT. THEY ARE GOING TO SIGN OVER THE EASEMENT. 
          SO WE'VE GOT AN EASEMENT. SCOTT AND I HAVE GOT AN EASEMENT AGREEMENT. 
          ONCE THEY SIGN IT, WE'LL GET THE CITY TO EXECUTE IT BACK TO THEM. 
          AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO GO FILE IT AT THE COUNTY COURTHOUSE WITH THE COUNTY COURT CLERK'S
OFFICE SO THAT WE ALWAYS HAVE DOCUMENTATION CAN BE FOUND ON HOW WE GOT THAT PROPERTY. ALSO, WE'VE BEEN MEETING WITH A ISD THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. 
          I BELIEVE WE GOT EVERYTHING WORKED OUT TO WHERE IT'S AGREEABLE TERMS FOR EVERYBODY. 
          SO WE DO HAVE AN AGREEABLE WORK AGREEMENT THAT'S BEEN CHANGED,
MODIFIED A LITTLE BIT PER THE SCHOOL'S REQUEST. IT'S TO THEM THEY ARE GOING TO SIGN IT AND EXECUTE IT AND COME BACK, AND WE'LL BRING IT BACK TO COUNCIL FOR YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT. IT GIVES ESSENTIALLY YOU A
200 BY 200 PLACE FOR AN ELEVATED STORAGE TANK OVER THERE AT THE SERVICE CENTER, 
          [01:55:05]
PLUS ACCESS FROM THEIR PARKING LOT AND THEN 20 FOOT EASEMENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO COUNTY
ROAD 48. 
          SO WE'RE WE HAVE WE'VE REALLY DONE REALLY GOOD BY GETTING THIS LAND DONATED OR THESE
EASEMENTS DONATED TO THE CITY FOR THIS PROJECT. 
          SO IT'S REALLY GOOD. GOOD THING. WHAT WAS YOUR PROJECT COST ESTIMATE AGAIN? I WANT TO SAY FROM JUST THE WATER TOWER. WATER TOWER I THINK IS SOMETHING LIKE EIGHT POINT
SOMETHING MILLION FOR THAT. 
          ALMOST NINE. THAT'S THE SAME SIZE AS WHAT WE HAVE ON THE SOUTH SIDE. 
          IT'S BIGGER. IT'S BIGGER THAN THAT ONE. BIGGER THAN THAT ONE. 
          THIS IS A 1 MILLION GALLON. THE ONE YOU HAVE ON THE SOUTH SIDE. THIS IS IN THERE. THIS IS
IN THE CITY LIMITS. 
          YES, SIR. THAT'S WHY I'M JUST MAKING SURE. YEAH,
THAT'S RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF THE. IS IT? OH, MAN. YEAH. IT'S TOO BAD BECAUSE THE OLD BENCHMARK PROPERTY WAS OUTSIDE THE
CITY LIMITS THROUGH AN INDUSTRIAL AGREEMENT. 
          IT'S NEVER BEEN ANNEXED. I THINK FRONTIER WAS RIGHT OUTSIDE TO. 
          FRONTIER IS OUTSIDE. IT'S BIGGER, MIGHT HOLD A NICE SIZE OF ANGLETON SIGN ON IT OR SOMETHING ELSE WITH SOME INTERESTING GRAPHIC MAYBE. 
          YES. I'M THINKING. SO WE'LL WE'LL WE'LL GO THROUGH ALL THAT WITH WHAT YOU WANT ON THE ON
THE ACTUAL TANK ITSELF. 
          MOVE ON JOHN. PRETTY GOOD MOCK UP RECENTLY. I THINK SO. 
          ALL RIGHT. KEEP ON GOING. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. 
          LET'S SAY WE'RE CURRENTLY STILL NEGOTIATING WITH THE GLOW ON THAT THAT AMENDMENT. 
          WE'RE STARTING TO RUN OUT OF TIME. THERE IS A THERE WAS AN AREA THAT WE COULD GO TO. 
          THE AREA WAS OVER THERE BY NARITA AND DEMAR THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING OVER THERE. 
          THEY'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF BURSTING. THEY'VE GOT THE MANHOLES ALL TAKEN CARE OF. 
          THEY SHOULD BE DONE IN THIS AREA BY NEXT FRIDAY. 
          ALL WEATHER HOLDS SO THAT THAT SECTION WILL BE DONE. 
          THEN WE'LL NEED TO MOVE OVER TO THE RANCHO AREA WHERE WE HAVE ALL THE CHANGES. 
          IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THE GRANT ADMINISTRATOR,
THEY HAVE ASKED IF THE CITY WOULD BE. 
          OKAY. ABOUT MOVING OVER THERE TO THAT AREA, EVEN THOUGH THE AMENDMENT HAS NOT BEEN
APPROVED AND START ON SOME OF THAT WORK, BUT IS AT RISK. I WOULD LIKE TO IF WE MOVE OVER THERE,
WE DO HAVE STUFF THAT WAS IN THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT THAT WE COULD WORK ON SOME OF THOSE LINES AND JUST LEAVE THE MANHOLES IN PLACE TEMPORARILY UNTIL WE GET
EVERYTHING APPROVED. 
          FROM MY UNDERSTANDING I BELIEVE SHE SAID IT'S BEEN APPROVED THROUGH THEIR TECHNICAL STAFF. 
          IT'S JUST THE ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF NOW WAITING. 
          WE'RE EXPECTING IT ANY DAY. WE'VE BEEN MEETING WITH THEM ON THIS EVERY TWO WEEKS. 
          JUST TRYING TO TRYING TO PUSH THIS THROUGH. BUT THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT ON THAT. 
          MOVING ON TO THE STATION 24. THE STATION 24 THE ADDITIONAL WORK THAT WE HAD DONE FOR IT IN
THE LAST CHANGE ORDER HAS BEEN COMPLETED AS FAR AS THE PIPE BURSTING. 
          THEY'VE CCTV IN THE LINE TO MAKE SURE THE LINE HAS BEEN CONNECTED TO ALL THE SERVICES AND
THE LINE WAS INSTALLED CORRECTLY. 
          CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW THEY HAVE THE CEMENTITIOUS WALL LINING FOR THE LAST MANHOLE NEEDS TO
COME IN AND HAPPEN. 
          ONCE THAT HAPPENS, WE'LL BE CALLED OUT TO GO AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE MANHOLE. 
          AND THE PROJECT IS COMPLETELY DONE. AND WE WERE ABLE TO UTILIZE ALL FUNDING FOR THAT,
THAT LAST SECTION. 
          THE UNIT PRICES WERE A LITTLE BIT UP. WE WERE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE FOR HIM TO FINISH UP FOR
WHATEVER WE COULD PUT INTO THAT CONTRACT. 
          AND SO HE AGREED TO THAT. SO EVERY, EVERY DIME OF THAT CONTRACT HAS BEEN USED UP,
INCLUDING THE 25% MORE SO. 
          BUT THAT'S ALL GREAT. SO WE HAD MONEY TO COVER IT. 
          SO THAT WORKED OUT REALLY, REALLY WELL. GOOD WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT. 
          I HAVE THE PROPOSAL AND THE LEVEL OF EFFORT AT MY DESK. 
          I PLAN ON BRINGING IT TO COUNCIL IN SEPTEMBER AND END OF SEPTEMBER. 
          AS WE DISCUSSED THE CITY OF ANGLETON SANITARY SEWER LINE. 
          I'VE GOT THE PLANS DONE. I'VE PROVIDED HECTOR COST ESTIMATE. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF ADDITIONAL COST DUE TO IT BEING UNDERNEATH UPRT A LOT FROM HAVING TO HIRE
A PROFESSIONAL 
          [02:00:04]
CERTIFIED FLAGGER ON THE TRAIN TRACK FROM UPRR TO HAVING TO MONITOR THE TRAIN RAILS FOR A
CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME AFTER CONSTRUCTION HAS BEEN DONE. WE HAVE TO DO A JACK AND BORE ALL THE WAY THROUGH. 
          SO HECTOR HAS BEEN ABLE TO GET. I BELIEVE YOUR CAMERA HAS BEEN DOWN,
BUT IT'S BACK UP. 
          YEP. SO WE'VE TALKED ABOUT MAYBE WHAT WE CAN DO IS TRY TO SEE IF WE CAN WASH THAT LINE OUT
AND PUSH THAT CAMERA THROUGH THERE. 
          AND WE CAN MAYBE WE CAN TAKE A BAG AND ROLL IT BACK THROUGH THERE OR CIP. 
          AND MAYBE WE CAN SHORTCUT A LOT OF THAT STUFF AND SAVE YOU SOME MONEY IF WE CAN DO THAT. 
          SPECIFIC COSTS ARE STUPID. SO I WOULD LIKE TO COUNCIL TO REMEMBER THAT NEXT TIME YOU COME
TO COUNCIL FOR SOMETHING. 
          IT'S RIDICULOUS TO PAY A FLAG OF $5,000 TO SIT THERE AND WATCH. 
          IT WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT, SIR. SAY GOOD WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT. 
          ABSOLUTELY. CERTIFIED FLAG. YEAH. CERTIFIED CERTIFIED. 
          IT'S A TRAIN. IT GOES ON TRACK. OH MY GOD. YEAH. 
          YEAH, IT'S IT'S, IT'S A SUBSTANTIAL COST TO THE PROJECT. 
          IT'S HAVING TO DEAL WITH EPR 288 V UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS. 
          THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING, THE MAYOR EXECUTED THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. 
          WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET DUE TO THE NATURE OF THIS PROJECT AND UTILITIES IN THE AREA,
WE'RE TRYING TO SET UP FOR A PRE-CON FOR THURSDAY. 
          HOWEVER, I'M NOT SURE IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE IT DUE TO THE FACT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
EVERY UTILITY PROVIDER, PRIVATE UTILITY PROVIDER IS THERE SO WE CAN GET NAMES,
CONTACTS, GET EVERYBODY INTRODUCED TO EACH OTHER. 
          ALSO, TECHS MIGHT BE THERE. I'VE ONLY GOT TWO OF THE UTILITY PROVIDERS TO RESPOND BACK. 
          I'M STILL WAITING ON CENTER POINT TO SEE IF THEY CAN MAKE IT IN TIME,
BUT TEX-DOT TYPICALLY WILL GO AHEAD AND GIVE US A SHOUT BACK OUT. 
          IF IT'S NOT THIS WEEK, WE'RE GOING TO PUSH IT FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK. WE'RE STILL JUST
WAITING ON A RESPONSE FROM CENTER POINT ON THEIR, ON THEIR REPRESENTATIVES. 
          ALL RIGHT. ANGLETON DOWNTOWN IMPROVEMENTS. I HAVE FOLLOWED UP WITH THEM. 
          THEY'RE STILL KIND OF WAITING ON TECH STOCK. I'VE GOT TO COORDINATE WITH THEM BECAUSE I
KNOW THEY HAVE TO DO A A TOWN HALL MEETING. 
          SO I NEED TO COORDINATE WITH THEM AND THEY WANT TO DO IT WHERE THEY WANT TO DO IT,
HOW THEY WANT TO DO IT AND GET THAT GOING AND GET THAT BEHIND US. 
          SO THAT'S ONE OF THE NEXT BIG THINGS REMAINING. 
          I BELIEVE EVERYTHING HAS BEEN PRETTY MUCH DONE TO THE 90%. 
          THEY JUST NEED TO GIVE US FINAL PLANS TO LOOK OVER IT ONE MORE TIME. SO THEY'VE ACCEPTED
EVERYTHING ELSE, ALL THE OTHER CHANGES WE'VE MADE. AS FAR AS JUST THE COUPLE LITTLE WE DIDN'T HAVE A WHOLE
LOT. 
          IT WAS MORE STREET LIGHTS, STREET LIGHTING SIGNS,
SIGN FONTS, YOU KNOW, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. 
          BUT THE EVERYTHING'S SO LIMITED DOWN THERE, THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT OF WIGGLE ROOM FOR
WHAT YOU CAN DO. 
          YOU KNOW, I THINK THEY'VE REALLY DONE A GOOD JOB OF THAT. 
          ALSO, WE HAVE COMPLETED THE LAST WEEK. WE'VE COMPLETED THE STREET FOR THE 12 STREETS. 
          WE'VE COMPLETED ALL THE EXHIBITS, ALL THE COST ESTIMATES. 
          SO IF YOU ALL WANT TO HAVE US BRING THOSE UP NEXT COUNCIL MEETING,
I CAN DEFINITELY HAVE THAT UP HERE SO WE CAN START THE DISCUSSION ON, ON THE STREETS FOR CONCRETE STREETS. AND I THINK THERE'S A COUPLE ASPHALT. 
          MOST OF THEM ARE GOING TO BE CONCRETE STREETS. WITH THAT,
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I DON'T THINK THIS WAS BARBARA'S, BUT I APPRECIATE THE UPDATE AND I'M GLAD TO SEE SOME OF
THESE PROJECTS MOVING FORWARD. 
          YEAH, I KNOW THAT I WAS OFF FRIDAY, TWO FRIDAYS AGO WHEN WE HAD THAT HEAVY RAINFALL CAME
DOWN. 
          LIKE WE HAD LIKE TWO INCHES IN LESS THAN 30 MINUTES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT,
45 MINUTES. 
          SO IT WAS A SIGNIFICANT, INTENSE, SHORT, MILD,
BUT IT WOULD ALWAYS HOLD WATER OVER ON PARISH. 
          IN SOME OF THOSE AREAS IN THERE DID NOT HOLD WATER. 
          SINCE WE'VE OPENED UP JUST A LITTLE BIT AND WE OPENED UP THE DITCH. 
          OPENING UP THE DITCH BY THE SCHOOL HAS REALLY ALLOWED THAT WATER THAT CAN GET INTO IT TO
GET DOWN BACK OVER TO JOHN. RIGHT. WHAT IS THAT NOT. JOHN WRIGHT. TJ RIGHT. 
          TJ? YES. YEAH. ADD IT TO THE LIST. THAT'S THE WATER. 
          SO IT'S IT'S REALLY STARTING TO PAY OFF. THE STORM SURGE IS IN THERE ON THE ON THE
SOUTHERN HALF NOW. 
          SO I THINK YOU'RE STARTING TO SEE SOME SOME EFFECTS. 
          I'VE GOT SOME PICTURES OF WHEN WE HAD A REAL HEAVY RAIN. 
          EVEN WITH THE ROADS BEING ELEVATED, YOU COULDN'T SEE MAGNOLIA. 
          [02:05:02]
MAGNOLIA WAS UNDER WATER AS OF ASPHALT STREET. 
          SO THIS WILL BE ABLE TO I DON'T REMEMBER EVER RECALLING PARISH BEING UNDER WATER EVER IN
ANY OF THE HEAVY RAINS, EVEN HARVEY. IT DIDN'T. I'LL SEND YOU SOME PICTURES,
I GOT THE. 
          I EVEN GOT THE STREET SIGN IN IT. BUT IT WAS IT WAS. 
          I THINK A LOT OF IT HAD TO DO WITH THAT DITCH. 
          THAT WAS THROUGH THE YEARS. THAT DITCH HAD A BIG HILL IN IT. 
          YOU COULD SEE WHERE IT WAS HOLDING WATER BACK UP IN THE FRONT AT MAGNOLIA,
AT MAGNOLIA, THE DITCH THAT CUTS BACK TO TJ. 
          RIGHT? RIGHT. SO ONCE I GOT THAT CLEARED OUT,
THAT REALLY HELPED OUT THAT COMMUNITY JUST THERE ALONE. 
          AND WE INCREASED THE CAPACITY OF IT. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANYBODY? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SEAN. THANK YOU. 
          WE ARE PULLING ITEM 13 OFF THE OFF THE AGENDA TONIGHT. 
          SO LET'S GO TO ITEM NUMBER 14. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON APPROVING ORDINANCE
NUMBER 20260908-01 FOR 
          [14. Discussion and possible action on approving Ordinance No. 20260908-014 adopting the

providing for repeal and penalty; and providing an effective date. THIS BUDGET WILL 
RAISE MORE TOTAL PROPERTY TAXES THAN LAST YEAR’S BUDGET BY $220,153 OR 
2.19%, THAT AMOUNT IS TAX REVENUE TO BE RAISED FROM NEW PROPERTY 
ADDED TO THE TAX ROLL THIS YEAR.  ]
ADOPTING THE 2026-2027 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET OF THE CITY OF ANGLETON,
TEXAS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING ON OCTOBER 1ST, 2026 AND ENDING ON SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2027. PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY CLAUSE,
PROVIDING FOR REPEAL AND PENALTY, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. THIS BUDGET WILL RAISE MORE TOTAL PROPERTY TAXES THAN

          THIS IS THE ORDINANCE TO PASS OUR BUDGET. THIS BUDGET IS YOUR PROPOSED BUDGET. 
          IT'S IN YOUR PACKET. THIS IS WITH ALL THE CHANGES THAT WERE DISCUSSED DURING OUR
WORKSHOPS. 
          WITH EVERYTHING BEING TAKEN, ACCOUNT OF OUR PROPERTY TAXES. 
          THE 4.51246 WHEN THE UTILITY RAISES INCLUDED AND THE DISCOUNTS. 
          THIS INCLUDED YOUR TOTAL PROPERTY, YOUR TOTAL BUDGET FOR THIS YEAR 69,000,355 181. 
          THAT IS THE TOTAL OF ALL THE BUDGETS. WHAT IS THE TOTAL OF THE GENERAL FUND THAT IS FUNDED
BY PROPERTY TAX? THE TOTAL OF THE GENERAL FUND FUNDED BY. IS 19,000,006 589 30. 
          ONE BIG DIFFERENCE. SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT GETS SPELLED OUT. 
          I AM SO CONFUSED, BUT. YOU SUBMITTED IN BLACK AND WHITE THE SUPPORT. 
          SO NOTHING I CAN SAY AT THIS POINT. CORRECT.

          ARTICLE TEN, SECTION 2-266 OF THE ANGLETON TEXAS CODE OF ORDINANCES,
PROVIDING FOR AN INCREASE IN THE RATES TO BE CHARGED FOR UTILITY SERVICES BY THE CITY OF ANGLETON. PROVIDING FOR REPEAL,
PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, PROVIDING FOR PENALTY AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. 
          MAYOR. COUNCIL. THE WATER RATES FOR THE CITY OF ANGLETON HAVE BEEN INCREASED BY $3.96 OUT
OF THE AND $0.96 TO THE BASE RATE. $0.60 OF THAT IS FROM VW AYE,
BUT THE ORIGINAL IS $0.30 PER GALLON. 
          BUT YOUR BASE RATE HAS 2000 GALLONS. $0.60 TO $3.36 IS DUE TO. 
          BASE IS DUE FROM THE WATER AND SEWER STUDY THAT WAS DONE FOR OUR WATER AND SEWER BOND OF
THE 8 MILLION. 
          SO THE TOTAL WAS $3.96 INCREASE TO YOUR BASE RATE FOR WATER ONLY. OKAY. 
          SO WE ADOPT THIS FIRST AND THEN WE HAVE TO COME BACK AND ADOPT THE CHANGE FOR THE SENIORS
AND THE DISABLED VETS. 
          CORRECT. OKAY. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS BECAUSE THAT IS CONSIDERED A DISCOUNT. 
          THAT'S RIGHT. SO IT WILL SHOW THAT THE BASE RATE. 
          BUT ON THE SAME WATER BILL IT WILL SHOW A DISCOUNT OF $5. 
          MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE 20260908-0115. AMENDING THE UTILITY RATES FOR THE CITY OF ANGLETON. DO I NEED TO DO THE WHOLE THING, SCOTT? IS IT ROLL CALL? NO, YOU DON'T NEED TO DO THE WHOLE THING.

AMENDING THE UTILITY RATE TABLES IN CHAPTER TWO ADMINISTRATION. ARTICLE TEN,
SECTION 2-266 FEE SCHEDULE OF ANGLETON. 
          TEXAS CODE OF ORDINANCES PROVIDING FOR A DISCOUNT IN THE RATES TO BE CHARGED FOR UTILITY

          PROVIDING FOR REPEAL. PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY. 
          PROVIDING FOR A PENALTY AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. YES,
THIS IS A DISCOUNT GIVEN TO THE SENIOR CITIZENS OVER THE AGE OF 65 DISABLED AND VETERANS. THIS WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THEM TO COME AND SHOW PROOF OF THEIR
STATUS, SO WE CAN PUT THAT IN THEIR ACCOUNTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE PROPERLY DONE AND WILL
SHOW UP ON THEIR BILL AS A DISCOUNT. 
          THIS WAY THEY CAN SEE THAT THE ORIGINAL BASE RATE IS 3926,
BUT THEN IT WILL SHOW A DISCOUNT OF $5 FOR WATER AND A DISCOUNT, $5 FOR SEWER. SO INSTEAD OF US GOING UP OVERALL ON THE UTILITY BILL,
IT WILL BE A CREDIT OF $6.04 TO YOUR SENIOR AND DISABLED CITIZENS. 
          WE DO HAVE A FORM THAT WE ALREADY SET UP IN YOUR UTILITY DEPARTMENT THAT WILL NEED TO BE
FILLED OUT. 
          I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 2026908-016. 
          [02:15:05]

Discussion and possible action on approving Ordinance No. 20260908-018 establishing  a voluntary infrastructure improvement contribution program for streets, sidewalks, and  drainage; providing for voluntary contributions through City utility billing; establishing  restricted uses of contributions for administration; providing for severability; and  providing an effective date. ]
ESTABLISHING A VOLUNTARY INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT CONTRIBUTION PROGRAM FOR STREETS,
SIDEWALKS AND DRAINAGE. 
          PROVIDING FOR VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS TO CITY UTILITY BILLING. 
          ESTABLISHING RESTRICTED USES OF CONTRIBUTIONS FOR ADMINISTRATION. 
          PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY AND PROVIDING EFFECTIVE DATE. 
          MAYOR. COUNCIL. THIS IS ALSO A DONATION THAT WOULD BE PART OF THE BUILDING. 
          IT IS FOR A TRANSPORTATION FEE. THIS FEE WILL ALSO BE A RESTRICTED TYPE OF THING. 
          IT IS TO BE FOR THE USE OF STREETS, SIDEWALKS AND DRAINAGE. 
          THIS IS SOMETHING ALSO THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO IMPLEMENT TO SEE IF WE CAN START GETTING SOME
DONATIONS, SO WE CAN START DOING THE CONSTRUCTIONS AND SIDEWALKS AND DRAINAGE OF OUR STREET PROGRAM. 
          SEE HOW THIS GOES. LATER ON, MAYBE LATER ON,
TRY TO TIE THIS INTO A BOND ISSUANCE AND MAYBE USE SOME OF THESE FUNDS TO PAY SOME OF THE BOND OR THE BOND, INSTEAD OF RAISING YOUR PROPERTY TAXES AT THE TIME. 
          IT IS A DONATION. IT WOULD ALSO BE A RESTRICTED FUND TO WHERE THE REVENUE WILL BE GOING
INTO. 
          A MONTH AGO I WAS PRETTY HOT AND HEAVY ON THIS ONE,
AND NOW, AFTER ADOPTING THE ONE FOR THE ANIMAL CONTROL, I'M THINKING IF WE ADOPT THIS ONE, THEN NEITHER ONE OF THEM WILL BE SUCCESSFUL. 
          THAT'S MY THOUGHT. AND I THINK THE ANIMAL CONTROL HAS PROBABLY MORE OF AN URGENT NEED. 
          AND I THINK YOU'LL SEE MORE PEOPLE WILLING TO DONATE FOR THE ANIMAL CONTROL THEN. 
          WELL, I ALREADY PAY ENOUGH IN PROPERTY TAXES. WHY DO I HAVE TO GIVE A DONATION FOR MY
STREETS? THIS CAN BE TABLED, RIGHT? WITHOUT. I REMEMBER WE HAD THE BEST OF INTENTIONS WITH THIS,
AND THEN THE ANIMAL CONTROL WING CAME UP, AND I THINK WE HAD TO JUST MOVE LEFT AND DO WHAT WE HAD TO DO. 
          THIS I DON'T KNOW, I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA. 
          I JUST THINK PROBABLY ISN'T THE TIME FOR IT NOW. 
          WHAT IS YOUR THOUGHT? I THINK YOU'RE HITTING THE NAIL ON THE HEAD. 
          I THINK. WE'VE GIVEN THE PEOPLE IN ANGLETON MULTIPLE OPTIONS IN WAYS THEY CAN SPECIFICALLY
CONTRIBUTE. 
          THEY'RE IN CONTROL OF HOW THEY WANT TO SPEND THEIR MONEY IN CERTAIN RESPECTS. I UNDERSTAND
THEY'RE STILL TAXED, BUT IF THEY WANT TO CONTRIBUTE ABOVE AND BEYOND AND I CAN HEAR THE ARGUMENT THAT, WELL, YOU, WE DO PAY TAXES AND WE DO HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR
THOSE ROADS. 
          AND NOW YOU'RE JUST ASKING FOR US. SO I FEEL LIKE SPECIFICALLY AS IT RELATES TO BOTH
KEEPING ANGLETON BEAUTIFUL OR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, OR IN THIS CASE, THE ANIMAL THAT GIVES KIND OF A WIDE VARIETY OF SPREAD FOR
PEOPLE TO CHOOSE FROM TO. 
          SO. ANYWAY, THAT'S A LONG WAY OF SAYING I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU SAY. 
          SO DO WE WANT TO TAKE NO ACTION? THIS ONE'S DEAD GUYS. 
          YEAH. I WOULD TAKE NO NO ACTION. YEAH, I'M GOOD WITH THAT. 
          I'M JUST MAKING SURE BEFORE I. SUZY, I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK. 
          I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU HAD TO MAKE A AND A FORMAL MOTION TO NEGATIVE. 
          I SAY WE JUST TAKE NO ACTION. THAT'S THE BETTER PATH. 
          IT GETS TOO COMPLICATED TO TRY TO MAKE A. WE READ THE ORDINANCE. 
          WE LOOKED AT IT. DIDN'T GIVE IT AN UP OR DOWN. 
          SO IT'S STILL OUT THERE IF WE EVER HAVE TO BRING IT BACK OR TALK ABOUT. 
          BUT I THINK THAT KEEP THAT HANDY IN CASE WE EVER HAVE TO USE IT. 
          BUT I THINK IN ORDER FOR THE ANIMAL CONTROL TO BE. 
          ADOPTION TO TO BE SUCCESSFUL, WE SHOULDN'T MUDDY IT WITH TWO OF THEM. 
          I AGREE. ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO STAFF REPORTS ITEM NUMBER 19. 
          [19. August Department Reports]
          [02:20:05]
AUGUST DEPARTMENT REPORTS. ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING THEY WANT TO ASK THE STAFF? WHERE'D IT GO? I HAVE QUESTIONS FOR JASON, BUT THAT CAN BE RESERVED. 
          I'LL FIND IT. WHERE'S HAROLD? HE TOLD THE STAFF, UNLESS THERE'S A SPECIFIC ITEM,
THEY DON'T NEED TO BE HERE. 
          SO HAROLD'S THE ONLY EXCEPTION TO THAT RULE. I WILL MAKE SURE HE'S HERE. 
          I WANTED TO ASK. ON. THE HEADCOUNT REPORT BECAUSE. 
          COLLEEN, YOU ARE HERE. SO. TRYING TO UNDERSTAND AND RECONCILE BETWEEN FISCAL YEAR 23 TO
FISCAL YEAR 26. YOU SAY WE'RE ACTUALLY DOWN ONE HEADCOUNT IN THE THREE YEARS. 
          DOES THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE OPEN POSITIONS. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT. THESE ARE THE FILLED POSITIONS,
RIGHT. 
          SO. I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE SO I MEAN, ALONE. 
          JUST THE POLICE ALONE WERE DOWN SIX POSITIONS. 
          WHEN I DO THE NUMBERS ALSO, I HAVE TO DO THEM IN THE TIMELINE TO GET IT TO THE CITY
SECRETARY FOR THE MEETING. 
          SO SOMETIMES THINGS COME IN AND PEOPLE ARE SEPARATING,
BUT I'VE ALREADY REPORTED THE NUMBERS, SO THEY CAN BE SKEWED A LITTLE. I'M NOT TREMENDOUSLY. 
          BUT FOR INSTANCE, I JUST GOT FOUR SEPARATIONS IN FROM THE REC CENTER FRIDAY,
BUT I'D ALREADY REPORTED MY NUMBERS. 
          RIGHT. AND I MEAN, IT ALL SHOWS THAT WE'VE DOUBLED,
DOUBLED THE AMOUNT OF LIFEGUARDS ALMOST. 
          SO THE QUESTION I HAVE FOR YOU IS, IS THIS A POINT OF TIME? SO FISCAL YEAR 23 AS OF 831, OR IS IT FISCAL YEAR 23 AS OF 930? IT'S ACTUALLY AS OF 824 BECAUSE THESE NUMBERS ONLY GO TO THE PAYROLL PERIOD. 
          YEP. OKAY. BUT THEY ARE CURRENTLY NOT USING THE END OF THE YEAR NUMBERS. 
          AND THEN LOOKING AT CURRENT YEAR TO DATE. NO,
I'M GOING FISCAL YEAR. 
          OKAY. AND BUT IF I KNOW SOMEONE'S LEAVING, LIKE A FEW DAYS AFTER THIS,
I KNEW A COUPLE PEOPLE WERE LEAVING. 
          SO I DID ADD THEM TO THE NUMBERS, BUT OTHERS I DIDN'T KNOW. 
          SO THEY'RE NOT IN HERE. OKAY. AND DID I MISS. OH, THERE IT IS. THE LABOR COST. I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. 
          I LIKE LOOKING AT THAT TO SEE WHAT OUR LABOR COSTS ARE YEAR OVER YEAR. 
          YOU KNOW, ONE THING THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO KNOW IS HOW MANY PTO HOURS ARE BANKED NOT
BY EMPLOYEE, BUT IN TOTAL. YOU MEAN THAT ARE OUTSTANDING. I CAN GET THAT BECAUSE I USUALLY PROVIDE THAT
TO THE AUDITOR EVERY YEAR. 
          ALL RIGHT. WE NEED TO START KEEPING TRACK OF THAT SO WE CAN SEE. 
          AND IN FACT, I USUALLY WILL LET THE CITY MANAGER KNOW BECAUSE YOU KNOW IT'S AN UNFUNDED
LIABILITY. 
          THAT'S RIGHT. INCLUDING THE COMP TIME EARNED THAT'S BANKED OUT THERE. 
          YEAH. OKAY. THAT WAS ALL MY QUESTIONS. BUT FOR YOU. 
          THANKS, COLLEEN. SURE. AND THEN, YEAH, JASON'S NOT HERE,
SO THAT'S GOOD. 
          OMAR. OKAY. YEAH, HE'S ON VACATION. ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ANYBODY ELSE? CHIEF, COULD YOU ASK MARTHA IF SHE PLANS TO INVITE
THE BUSINESSES TO DO BOOTHS AGAIN FOR THE TEJANO CONCERT? I CAN ANSWER THAT. YES, YES. OKAY. 
          WONDERFUL. I HAD A FEW ASK AND I WAS LIKE, I'M NOT 100% SURE IT DIDN'T LABEL IT,
BUT THAT'S GREAT TO KNOW. 
          I SHOULD PUT A POST OUT TODAY. OKAY. CHIEF, I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER UNIFORMED OFFICERS BACK THERE. 
          NO OFFENSE TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THE ANTHONY KIND OF LOOKED AT ME. 
          [02:25:05]
SO HOW ARE WE GETTING THE NEW, THE THE WORD OUT? BECAUSE I'VE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF REQUESTS ON. 
          TRAFFIC STOPS. WHAT WE'RE DOING. YOU KNOW, YOU'VE SEEN A LOT OF THE POSTS TODAY AND
YESTERDAY OVER THE E-BIKES AND SOME OF THE OTHER TRAFFIC LAWS. 
          I WOULD REALLY LIKE OUR REPORT TO GET POSTED EITHER ON THE PD'S WEBSITE,
THE CITY'S WEBSITE, MAYBE MAKE IT A A POST ON, YOU KNOW, FACEBOOK OR WHATEVER SOCIAL MEDIA YOU WANT TO USE,
BUT TO SHOW THAT WE ARE TRACKING THE OFFENSES AND HOW THEY'RE, YOU KNOW,
TRAFFIC STOPS, YOU KNOW, SPEEDING BECAUSE YOU HAVE ALL THE DATA YOU'RE ON THE WEBSITE MAYOR THERE ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE AND THE WEBSITE FRONT
PAGE. 
          ONCE A MONTH, POST IT ON THE, AND I THINK ALSO ON SOCIAL MEDIA SO THAT YOU CAN START
CIRCULATING THAT SOCIAL MEDIA. 
          I THINK IT'S, YOU'RE INVITING A WHOLE LOT OF STUFF. 
          YOU'RE NOT GIVING ANY PRIVATE INFORMATION OUT,
RIGHT? NO WE'RE NOT. IT'S JUST STATISTICAL INFORMATION. 
          YOU PUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA, YOU'RE GIVING PEOPLE FROM MICHIGAN AND EVERYBODY ELSE THAT IT
AIN'T GOT SQUAT TO DO WITH THE CITY. 
          YOU'RE RIGHT. RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT. TALK ABOUT THE POLICE AND EVERYTHING ELSE. 
          I MEAN, I DON'T SEE THE NUMBER OF FLOCK CAMERAS IN HERE,
THOUGH. 
          I TOLD YOU, I'LL TRADE YOU THREE FLOCK CAMERAS FOR SIX POLICE OFFICERS AND FIVE PATROL
CARS. 
          THEY'RE GONE. SO I'M JUST MESSING WITH YOU. NOW,
THE THE QUESTION CAME UP AND THEY SAID, WELL, YOU KNOW, HOW ARE WE ENFORCING THIS? WHAT ARE WE DOING? AND HOW MANY STOPS ARE WE? I SAID, WE HAVE ALL THE STATISTICAL INFORMATION. 
          JUST GO TO THE WEBSITE. THEY DON'T THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT ON THE WEBSITE. 
          SO MAYBE IF YOU'RE ON FACEBOOK, YOU CAN'T. WELL,
YOU CAN'T DO IT FOR PEOPLE THOUGH. 
          I'M NOT SAYING YOU DO IT FOR PEOPLE, BUT IF YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY,
YOU HAVE THE DATA. 
          IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE HAVING TO GO REGURGITATE THIS OR GET A FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST. 
          JUST AN IDEA. I'VE GOT THAT FROM STEM FROM A TWO CONVERSATIONS IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS. 
          SO ONE OF THEM YOU'RE AWARE OF. SO. WE'LL TALK OFFLINE. DO YOU HAVE, YOU DO HAVE AN OPEN DETECTIVE SPOT. YES SIR. WE HAVE A TOTAL OF SEVEN OPENINGS. 
          I'VE BEEN CALLING SINCE SIX. BUT DID YOU GET GALLSTONES? NORDSTROM HAS RETIRED. SO WE'RE CURRENTLY TRAINING TWO. 
          THE. THE INFORMATION I SENT Y'ALL ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THE PEARLAND ACADEMY TO TRY
TO GET SOMEBODY IN THERE AND WE CAN SIGN 2 OR 3 YEAR CONTRACT. SO WE'RE JUST TRYING TO STEP OUT OF THE BOX OR OUTSIDE
THE BOX. 
          YES. WE HAVE ONE DETECTIVE OPENING CURRENTLY AND THAT WILL BE FILLED UNTIL WE CAN GET SOME
PEOPLE TRAINED. 
          OKAY. AND SOME PEOPLE HIRED. OKAY. HECTOR, YOU'RE IN THE AUDIENCE. YOU'RE GOING TO LEAVE AFTER. 
          WE SHOULD MAKE A REQUIREMENT FOR CERTAIN DEPARTMENTS TO BE HERE. 
          WE'LL DO WHAT YOU SAY, HECTOR. ALWAYS. ALL RIGHT. 
          HECTOR, I NEED TO I SENT YOU SOME REQUESTS. DID WE GET ANYBODY TO. 
          I DON'T SEE IT IN THE REPORT. ON BETTY STREET. 
          DID Y'ALL MAKE IT OVER THERE? I BELIEVE THEY DID,
BUT THEY NEVER GAVE ME A DATE. 
          I'LL SEND I'LL GET AN UPDATE. SEND AN EMAIL OUT. 
          I KNOW THE GUYS WENT OVER THERE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. 
          MUNSON COURT. SO. MUNSON COURT? WELL, WE WENT OVER THERE AND LOOKED. 
          WHAT WE NOTICED IS THERE'S A WE DIDN'T GET AN ADDRESS. 
          RIGHT. IT WAS JUST I THINK IT WAS SIDEWALK OR DRIVEWAY FALLING APART DUE TO SEWER LINE. 
          [02:30:01]
THAT WAS THE THE HOME ON THE CORNER OF MUNSON COURT AND ANDERSON RIGHT THERE. 
          THAT STREET, THAT THAT THAT HOUSE, THE DRIVEWAY IS ALL TORN UP. 
          I'M ASSUMING THAT'S THE ONE THEY MEAN, BUT IT'S THE TREE DOING IT. 
          THE TREE ROOTS ARE CLEARLY GOING UNDER THE DRIVEWAY AND TEARING ALL THAT UP. IT'S NOT THE
SEWER LINE. THERE'S ANOTHER HOME FURTHER DOWN ON THE WHERE IT ACTUALLY TURNS INTO TO A CUL DE SAC. I THINK IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT CUL DE SAC,
IT'S THE HOUSE KIND OF TO THE RIGHT. 
          THAT ONE HAS A PARTIAL BAD DRIVEWAY. BUT THAT WOULDN'T BE CAUSED BY THE CITY'S SEWER LINE. 
          IT WOULD BE THE HOMEOWNER'S PORTION OF THE SEWER LINE. 
          SO ANYTHING THAT TWO THE TWO INSTANCES I SAW OVER THERE,
THERE WERE BAD DRIVEWAY WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THE CITY'S SEWER LINE DOING IT. 
          OKAY. WHAT ABOUT OUR SEWER PLANT BEHIND CASEY? SO WITH THAT, WE HAVE INCREASED THE DOSAGE OF THAT CHEMICAL. 
          WE'VE ALSO CLEANED OUT THAT LIFT STATION. I KNOW I'VE REACHED OUT TO A,
I BELIEVE A COUNCILMAN SMITH IS GOING TO TAKE A VISIT OUT THERE WITH US JUST TO KIND OF SEE WHAT'S GOING ON JUST SO WE CAN SHOW THEM THE CONDITION OF THAT LIFT STATION. 
          I KNOW HDR HAD ORIGINALLY IDENTIFIED A TOTAL CIP REHABILITATION OF THAT LIFT STATION. 
          WE DID PORTIONS OF IT DIDN'T DO THE WHOLE THING. 
          THERE'S STILL SOME OTHER THINGS THAT COULD BE DONE OVER THERE. AND AN ULTIMATE SOLUTION,
I WOULD SAY IS, YOU KNOW, COMPLETELY REHABBING SOME OF THAT WET WELL AND PUTTING IN SOME NEW LIKE MANHOLE, MANHOLE SECTIONS AND NEW LIDS AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS TO REALLY SEAL IT UP REALLY GOOD. 
          ALSO RECOAT THE ENTIRE INSIDE OF IT. AND ALSO ODOR CONTROL SCRUBBERS OR THE THINGS THAT
ARE GOING TO TAKE AWAY, YOU KNOW, 100% OF THAT SMELL, BUT IT'S JUST AN EXPENSIVE THING TO PUT IN SOMETHING THAT
CAN BE EXPLORED. 
          BUT AFTER CLEANING THAT OUT AND INCREASING THE DOSAGE OF THAT CHEMICAL TO MEET SMELLS MUCH
BETTER OVER THERE. 
          I HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY COMPLAINTS OF IT, BUT ALSO I DIDN'T GET MANY COMPLAINTS FROM IT
BEFORE I HAD THE LAST WORD ORDER I HAD GOTTEN FOR AN ODOR COMPLAINT FOR THAT WAS LEAVE SOME TIME IN 25. OR WE WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE STAYING ON IT THOUGH. 
          I MEAN, IS. WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK OR EVERY OTHER WEEK,
SOMEBODY'S GOING BY AND CHECKING THESE LIFT STATIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE. YES. SO THEY SO THEY CHECK THEM DAILY,
ESPECIALLY THAT ONE BEING A MASTER LIFT STATION, IT'S CHECKED DAILY AND THEY CHECK THE CHEMICAL LEVELS,
MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S PUMPING. 
          I THINK THAT AT THE LAST INSTANCE WE HAD WHERE WE WE WEREN'T PUMPING ANY CHEMICAL,
I THINK THAT PUMP HAD WENT OUT, WE ORDERED ONE AND TOOK LIKE A WEEK TO GET WENT IN. 
          SO WE WERE NOT PUMPING FOR A WEEK. OKAY. WITH THE SWITCHING GEARS TO THE GRADLE AND THE DITCH CUTTING THE HOW MANY I'M TRYING TO I CAN'T FIND A I SEE THE REPORT IN HERE,
BUT I DON'T SEE. 
          I GUESS IT'S A DATE RANGE. IS THAT WHAT THIS IS CORRECT. 
          YES. SO IT STARTS IN YOU KNOW, THIS THE START OF THIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR. 
          WE'RE STILL IN AT TEN 125, AND IT GOES ALL THE WAY UNTIL JUST THE END OF AUGUST. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT THIS REPORT IS ENCOMPASSING OF AUGUST. 
          WHAT DOES IT MEAN BY NOT COMPLETED IT. SO WE JUMPED. 
          WE STARTED WORKING ON THE KMART YARD. WE HAD TO CUT A NEW DITCH BEHIND KMART SO THAT WE
COULD DELAY THAT ASPHALT LAID IN THERE SO THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY START MOVING INTO THAT. 
          SO WE STARTED ON WE STOPPED, WENT TO KMART, CUT THAT DITCH TO THE BACK BECAUSE THAT KMART
DITCH FEED INTO THAT LITTLE SHALLOW SWELL THAT GOES BACK BEHIND BEHIND LORI AND BURTON, ETCETERA. YES. 
          CORRECT. SO ARE WE GOING TO MAKE PROBLEMS EVEN WORSE BACK THERE? NO. THERE WAS ALREADY A DITCH CUT. WE JUST HAD TO MOVE IT FURTHER SOUTH. 
          IT WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE BUILDING. THE ORIGINAL DITCH THAT RAN ACROSS THERE. 
          IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THERE. WE JUST MOVED IT FURTHER SOUTH. 
          SAME CAPACITY, ETC. WE JUST HAD TO MOVE IT TO BETTER LAYOUT THAT YARD FOR US. 
          WITH THAT, THE WAY THE NEW BUILDING IS PLACED. BUT YOU DIDN'T CUT THAT DITCH ANYMORE. 
          THE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE EXISTING ONE. BEHIND. 
          BEHIND. NOT YET. WE ARE GOING TO CUT ALONG THERE. 
          THERE'S TWO SWELLS THAT GO ALONG THE FENCE LINES. 
          THE CITY PROPERTY FENCE LINES DOWN TOWARDS THE BACK. 
          WE'RE GOING TO CUT THOSE. THEN WE'RE ALSO GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE REST OF IT AND SHOOT
GRADES BEHIND LORI AND BURT. 
          BUT I DO KNOW THAT GOT CUT. I WANT TO SAY LIKE A YEAR AND A HALF AGO,
SO I'M NOT SURE ANYTHING NECESSARILY NEEDS TO BE CUT, BUT WE WILL SHOOT GRADES ON IT WHILE WE'RE THERE JUST TO ENSURE THAT IT DOESN'T. 
          OKAY. AND WHAT OTHER WHAT OTHER DISHES DO YOU HAVE ON THE LIST? BECAUSE IT ENDS ON 827. THAT'S NINE EIGHT. SO I DON'T WE DIDN'T I DIDN'T INCLUDE THAT ON
THIS. 
          LIKE THE WHAT WE HAVE SLATED OUT IN THE LIST. 
          I CAN'T INCLUDE THAT WHOLE LIST. IT'S A WHOLE LIST OF A LOT OF THEM. 
          [02:35:04]
BUT FROM WORK ORDERS WE'VE GOTTEN IN. BUT AS FAR AS THE PRIORITY ONES THAT WE SAID WE WERE
GOING TO GET DONE AREAS THE LAST OF THAT, ONCE WE GET PASSED THROUGH THAT, WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH JUST ORDER OF OLDEST WORK ORDER
TO. 
          THE NEWEST IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO START FOCUSING ON. 
          HAVE YOU MADE IT DOWN TO, WHAT IS IT? NORTHRIDGE? NO, NOT. WHAT'S THE ROAD? RICHMOND CIRCLE AND. 
          WHAT'S THAT OTHER STREET NEXT TO RICHMOND CIRCLE. RAYBURN. RAYBURN BRIDGE. 
          NO, WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO THAT ONE YET. IS IT A HIGH ON THE LIST? I WOULD SAY SO, YES, BUT I THINK THAT'S I DON'T THINK DITCH CUTTING THE DITCH BEHIND THAT
IS GOING TO REALLY SERVE THAT PURPOSE OF SOLVING THE DRAINAGE THERE. 
          IT'S JUST THAT THE DRIVE IN FRONT OF IT, WE DID HOSPITAL DRIVE. 
          YEAH, THAT'S BEEN DONE. DRIVE THAT'S DONE IN APRIL. 
          YES. I'M TALKING ABOUT THE BEHIND THE HOUSES. 
          THAT'S THE WATER IS FLOWING INTO RAYBURN RIDGE. 
          REMEMBER I SHOWED YOU THE I TOOK THE PICTURE AND THE VIDEO AND YOU SEE THE THE WATER JUST
FLOWING BACK IN ONTO THE ROAD. 
          OKAY, INSTEAD OF GOING TO THE DITCH, IT'S GOING EAST TO THE ROAD AND FLOWING BACK INTO THE
ROAD. 
          YES. AND I BELIEVE THERE'S A SWELL THAT DOES GO BETWEEN THE HOMES ON ON THE CIRCLE. 
          WOULD THAT BE. YEAH. ON THE BACK OF RICHLAND CIRCLE. 
          BACK AROUND THAT. YES. I KNOW THAT ONE'S ON THE LIST. 
          THAT WOULD. I MEAN, ANYTHING'S GOING TO HELP THAT ROAD. 
          AND YEAH, CHANGING THE DIRECTION OF THAT WATER BACK TO THE DITCH WOULD BE BETTER. 
          THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR YOU. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING FOR HECTOR? KEEP MOVING WITH THIS DITCH CLEANING. YEP. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. 
          ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE FOR ANY OTHER STAFF BEFORE WE MOVE ON? OKAY. COMMUNICATIONS FROM MAYOR AND COUNCIL. ANYBODY. 
          [COMMUNICATIONS FROM MAYOR AND COUNCIL]
I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT ONE THING. THE POST ABOUT THE FIRE SALE BUILDING ON 35 THAT GOT A
TON OF TRACTION. THAT JUST SHOWS THAT THE CITIZENS REALLY APPRECIATE THE EFFORTS AND CLEANING UP
THIS TOWN A LITTLE BIT. 
          SO I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT AND TO POINT OUT THAT THAT WAS NOT MONEY THAT WE SPENT. 
          THAT WAS DONE BY THE BY THE OWNER. CORRECT. WE DID NOT SPEND ANY MONEY OF OUR OWN TO
DEMOLISH THAT BUILDING. 
          THE OWNER DECIDED TO DO THAT ON HIS OWN AND PAY FOR IT. 
          I WANT TO SAY GREAT JOB TO THOSE THAT WENT OUT AND WORKED THE ARTISAN MARKET AND
PARTICIPATE IN THE ARTISAN MARKET. 
          IT, IT'S, IT'S NICE TO SEE MORE EVENTS LIKE THAT AND ALLOWING THE COUNTY TO BE A GOOD
PARTNER WITH US SO WE CAN USE IT. 
          YES. SO ALSO, I WILL BE OUT ON THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING ON THE 22ND AND THEN THE FIRST
MEETING IN OCTOBER. IS THE 13TH. AND BOTH MAYOR PRO TEM TOWNSEND AND I BOTH HAVE A CONFLICT ON THAT.

          BUT IF WE PUSH IT TO THE WEEK BEFORE THE FIRST TUESDAY OF THAT MONTH,
