[00:00:02]

ALL RIGHT. THE TIME IS NOW. 6:01. WE HAVE A QUORUM, AND WE'RE

[DECLARATION OF A QUORUM AND CALL TO ORDER ]

ANGLETON CITY COUNCIL MEETING. ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE A QUORUM.

EVERYBODY, PLEASE STAND WITH ME. FIRST, HAVE THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS.

ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

ALL RIGHT. AND IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE INVOCATION BY PASTOR JEFF FROM GREATER HEIGHTS BAPTIST FELLOWSHIP.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YOU CAN BE SEATED. IS THAT OKAY? THAT'S FINE. I'M NOT GOING TO BE LONG. OKAY. IT'S UP TO YOU.

I HATE PEOPLE SAY I ALWAYS STAND UP FOR GOD. THAT'S OKAY.

BUT YEAH, I AM PASTOR JEFF FROM GREATER HEIGHTS BAPTIST.

WE'RE OVER THERE ON ON HOSPITAL DRIVE. I HAD A QUESTION FOR THE COUNCIL.

I KNOW YOU'RE THE AUTHORITY OF THE TOWN. ARE YOU OVER THE HEAT? [LAUGHS] IF ONLY.. I'M RUNNING OUT OF DESCRIPTIONS.

I COMPLAIN SO MUCH, BUT IT IS SCORCHING. IT'S KILLING US.

WHERE'S THE FALL TODAY? JUST FOR AN EXAMPLE. I GOT CLEANED UP.

I GOT DRESSED BY THE TIME I GOT FROM THE DOOR TO THE CAR.

I'M JUST A CORNCOB PIPE AND A BUTTON NOSE AND TWO EYES MADE OUT OF.

COLD, COLD, COLD. YOU GOT YOU TOO SEE YOU THERE.

COLD? YEAH, BUT YEAH. FROSTY'S GONE. FROSTY MOVED TO TEXAS.

HE'S GONE TODAY. I WAS CALLED AND ASKED TO DO THE INVOCATION.

AND Y'ALL MAY NOT BELIEVE THIS. IT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE BEEN ASKED TO DO AN INVOCATION.

I'VE PRAYED HERE BEFORE. I'VE DONE OPENINGS AND PRAYERS, BUT I'VE NEVER DONE AN INVOCATION BECAUSE I REALLY WASN'T SURE EXACTLY WHAT THAT WAS. BUT I LOOKED IT UP. AND HERE IT IS, BASICALLY.

MOST OF YOU KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW WHAT INVOKING IS, BUT HERE'S AN INVOCATION AND IT'S SPECIAL.

SO I'M THANKFUL THAT Y'ALL CALLED FOR THAT. BASICALLY, WE ARE GOING TO CALL ON GOD.

WE'RE GOING TO CALL ON JESUS TO NOT ONLY BE PRESENT HERE, BUT WE'RE GOING TO ASK HIM TO ACT.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ASK HIM TO ACT. AND CALLING HIM TO USE ALL OF HIS POWERFUL MIND AND HIS CREATIONIST STRENGTH TO HELP US CARRY OUT THE DUTIES AND THE PLANS THAT WE, MEANING YOU, HAVE BEFORE YOU.

I'M GOING TO ASK JESUS TO HELP YOU AND GUIDE YOU EACH STEP.

SO IF Y'ALL PRAY WITH ME. FATHER GOD, I COME TO YOU HUMBLY, LORD, PLEADING FOR YOUR MERCY AND YOUR GRACE AND YOUR WISDOM FOR THIS COUNCIL TODAY, AS THE, AS THE THINGS ARE BROUGHT TO THEM TO, TO DEAL WITH AND HANDLE WITH, I PRAY THAT YOU WOULD GIVE THEM THE STRENGTH TO, TO LET THE YEAS BE YEAS AND THEIR NAYS BE NAYS.

LORD, THAT YOU WOULD TAKE CARE OF THEM. HEDGE OF PROTECTION OVER THIS PLACE, OVER THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES, OR GIVE THEM. GIVE THEM THE WISDOM TO MAKE THE DECISIONS, EVEN THE HARD DECISIONS.

LORD. AND I ASK YOU, LORD, I PLEAD WITH YOU TO BLESS THEM.

BLESS EACH AND EVERYONE. IN JESUS NAME. AMEN.

AMEN. AMEN. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU JEFF.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT THING ON THE AGENDA IS CITIZENS WISHING TO ADDRESS CITY COUNCIL.

I HAVE TWO REQUESTS TO SPEAK BEFORE ME. MISTER JUSTIN WEATHERS AND GARY JONES.

THEY BOTH WISH TO SPEAK ON AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FIVE.

MY QUESTION TO YOU IS, DO YOU WISH TO SPEAK NOW, OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO WAIT UNTIL WE GET TO THAT PARTICULAR ITEM ON THE AGENDA? OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. SO THEN WE WILL PROCEED TO ITEM NUMBER ONE, WHICH IS CEREMONIAL PRESENTATIONS.

AWESOME. THANK YOU. GOOD TO SEE YOU. THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON. CONSENT AGENDA ITEM TWO.

[CONSENT AGENDA ]

ITEM NUMBER FOUR DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON APPROVING AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH BRAZORIA COUNTY FOR STREET OVERLAYS.

MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE CONSENT AGENDA. WE HAVE A MOTION ON APPROVING THE CONSENT AGENDA BY COUNCIL MEMBER DANIEL.

SECOND. SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER SMITH. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION BEFORE CALLING FOR A VOTE? NOT HEARING ANY. CALLING FOR A VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. ANY OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. ALL RIGHT. CONSENT AGENDA CARRIES.

MOVING ON TO THE REGULAR AGENDA. ITEM NUMBER FIVE DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON A CONCEPT PLAN REVIEW FOR THE 7-ELEVEN DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED FOR

[5. Discussion and possible action on a concept plan review for the 7-Eleven Development, proposed for property located just west of the I-288 southbound off-ramp at FM523, Angleton, Texas. ]

AND I SEE KYLE. GOOD TO SEE YOU. GOOD EVENING.

MAYOR PRO TEM COUNCIL. THE 7-11 PROJECT, AS YOU ALL KNOW.

FM 523 KIND OF ACROSS THE STREET FROM LOWES IS THERE AT THE, WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH THE PLANNING PROCESS OF THAT. SO THE IN THE MOBILITY PLAN, OURS IS A 2005 MOBILITY PLAN IS SHOWING A MINOR COLLECTOR STREET KIND OF ON THE WEST SIDE RIGHT THERE OF THE 7-11 THAT RUNS, WHICH IS A 70 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY.

SO NOW AT THE PLANNING PROCESS, THIS SHOWS UP ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WHICH WOULD KIND OF MAKE THEIR STORE DIFFICULT, BEING THAT WHERE THEY'RE ENTERING AND EXITING.

I THINK IT SHOWS. RIGHT THERE ON THAT WEST SIDE THAT'S SHOWING WHERE THAT

[00:10:10]

THE LEVEE IS A LITTLE WEST OF THERE. THAT ROAD CURVES UP AND I KNOW SPEAKING WITH THE OTHER PEOPLE HERE TO SPEAK THAT OWN PROPERTY NORTH OF THAT, THAT KIND OF GOES THROUGH ALMOST THE MIDDLE OF THEIR PROPERTY AND ON THE MOBILITY PLAN. SO I KNOW THE, THE ONE ROAD THERE THAT GOES INTO THE. I THINK IT'S SUNBELT RENTALS NOW IS, I THINK TEXDOT THEY, THEY WILL NOT LET THEM USE THAT. IT JUST GOES TO THAT RENTAL PLACE AND THAT'S IT.

BUT THIS ON THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN THERE IS GOING TO MAKE IT DIFFICULT.

WE DO HAVE A GENTLEMAN HERE REPRESENTING 7-ELEVEN CAN SPEAK ON THAT.

HOW IT WOULD AFFECT THEIR PROJECT THERE. SO OUR WE'RE LOOKING AT ON THAT.

I KNOW IT'S AN OLDER THOROUGHFARE PLAN, BUT LOOK AT EITHER MOVING IT MORE WEST TOWARD THE LEVEE OR, OR WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE TO TAKE CARE OF THAT ISSUE.

BUT JUSTIN'S HERE REPRESENTING 7-11 AND HE PROBABLY WANT TO SPEAK ON THE PROJECT. BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, IS THAT ON THE MOBILITY PLAN IS GOING TO MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR THE 7-11 SITE PLAN HERE TOO. AND THEN THE NORTH, NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES, IT KIND OF CUTS ACROSS THEIRS. AND THEY'RE HERE ALSO. OKAY. SO A SECOND AGO, WE ADDRESSED THAT THERE WERE TWO PEOPLE WISHING TO SPEAK TO COUNCIL ON THE FIRST CALL.

MR. GARY JONES WELL, MY BROTHER AND SISTER. SORRY, MR. JONES, IF YOU'LL JUST COME TO THE MICROPHONE, EVERYTHING WE HAVE IS RECORDED.

PEOPLE ARE WATCHING AT HOME, AND I'M SURE THEY WANT TO HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY. MY BROTHER, SISTER AND I OWN THE PROPERTY THAT'S TO THE NORTH OF THERE.

AND WE'RE NOT INTERESTED IN SEEING THE NEED TO PUT ACROSS THAT PORTION THAT GOES THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF IT.

SO WE'RE NOT IN FAVOR OF THE PLAN. OKAY. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADDRESS AT THIS TIME? OKAY. THANK YOU, MR. JONES. IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK LATER, LET US KNOW.

WE'LL GET YOU BACK UP HERE. ALL RIGHT. MR. WEATHERS, MR. JUSTIN WEATHERS ALSO PUT A REQUEST IN. COUNCIL MEMBERS.

WELL KIND OF MAKES MY WHOLE SPIEL A MOOT POINT IF.

BECAUSE THE JONES FAMILY HAS TO BE ON BOARD AFTER DISCUSSING THIS WITH THEM, IT IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THEY'RE VERY OPEN TO IT.

I, MY TEAM AND I, WE DECIDED THAT WE WOULD CONSIDER IT.

BUT THERE WOULD HAVE TO BE EVERYBODY WOULD HAVE TO KIND OF MEET IN THE MIDDLE AS FAR AS EXPENSES AND WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO GET THAT DONE.

SO WE'RE NOT 100% OPPOSED TO IT, BUT THIS WAS KIND OF PRESENTED TO US AT THE 11TH HOUR.

WE'RE FIVE MONTHS INTO THIS DEAL. AND YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A LOT OF THINGS IN PLACE THAT WE CAN'T CHANGE AND MAINLY BUDGETING.

SO I DON'T REPRESENT 7-ELEVEN. I'M WITH THE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY AND THIS PROPERTY, THIS PROJECT WAS SO FAR ALONG THAT WE'VE ALREADY DONE ALL OUR BUDGETING, WE'VE ALREADY PRESENTED THAT TO OUR TENANT AND WE ALREADY HAVE A SIGNED LEASE AND, YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T GO BACK TO THEM NOW AND SAY, WELL, YOUR RENT IS GOING TO BE AN EXTRA HOWEVER MUCH BECAUSE NOW WE HAVE TO BUILD THIS ROAD AND, YOU KNOW, PUT IN THIS SIGNAL OUT AND DO ALL THESE EXTRA COSTS THAT WE DIDN'T FORESEE.

SO WE'RE OPEN TO THAT, HAVING THAT DISCUSSION.

BUT WE WERE PARSING THINGS FROM THE CITY AND SOME SORT OF PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH THE JONES FAMILY TO, YOU KNOW, TO GET THAT DONE. AND THEN, OF COURSE, IF THEY'RE NOT INTERESTED IN DEDICATING THE 35FT THEIR HALF OF THE PROPERTY, THEN I GUESS IT WON'T WORK ANYWAY. BUT OF COURSE THIS WOULD, THIS WOULD CHANGE OUR ACCESS CONSIDERABLY.

[00:15:06]

WELL THE CARS AND THE TRUCKS WOULD BOTH ACCESS OFF OF THAT NEW ROAD.

SO THE CITY WOULD HAVE TO AGREE TO WHAT THREE CURB CUTS, THREE ADDITIONAL CURB CUTS OFF OF THAT ROAD, AN ENTRANCE FOR THE TRUCK, AN ENTRANCE FOR THE CARS.

7-11 LIKES TO KEEP THE CARS AND TRUCKS SEPARATE IF THEY CAN.

IN THIS INSTANCE THEY COULDN'T BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH FRONTAGE, BUT AND THEN AN ENTRANCE AND AN EXIT FOR THE TRUCKS.

ONE AN ENTRANCE WHERE THE FUEL LINES ARE THE DIESEL FUEL LINES, THE FUEL CAN BE IN THE BACK AND THEN LOOP AROUND BEHIND THE PARKING AND EXIT OUT THERE. SO THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT WE WOULD REQUIRE THAT WOULD BE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS WOULD BE ON BOARD WITH THAT WITH THAT OR NOT, BUT WE'RE WE ARE DISCUSSING AND AGAIN, IT'S MUCH EASIER IF WE JUST KEEP IT THE WAY WE HAVE IT.

CAN I INTERJECT FOR JUST A MINUTE? BECAUSE I THINK THERE MAY BE SOME CONFUSION AS FAR AS WHAT WHAT'S INTENDED ON HAPPENING.

FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND AND KYLE, TELL ME IF I'M WRONG, IS THAT THE THAT MOBILITY PLAN FROM 21 YEARS AGO SHOWS THAT THOROUGHFARE GOING THROUGH THERE. AND I THINK THE AND THE JONESES CAN TELL ME TOO, IF THERE IF I'M CONFUSED, BUT THAT THEY'RE NOT INTERESTED IN THAT THOROUGHFARE GOING THROUGH THERE. IF WE CAN ABANDON THAT IDEA AND THEIR PROJECT CAN GO, CAN GO THROUGH.

AND I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT. AM I RIGHT, KYLE? YES. WITH THAT, I MEAN, WE CAN ABANDON IT. WE DON'T HAVE TO FOLLOW THAT THOROUGHFARE PLAN.

I MEAN, IT IS FROM 05'. I KNOW WITH THIS SITE PLAN, YOU KNOW, IT IS LIMITED.

IT WILL MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT WITH THAT THERE ON THAT WEST SIDE.

AND EVEN LOOKING AT WE WERE LOOKING AT FURTHER UP ON THE ASHLAND WHERE THERE ALONG 288 WHERE THEY'RE TALKING, DOING THE FEEDER ROAD WITH, YOU KNOW, COMMERCIAL, I THINK WITH IN THE FUTURE COME DOWN LIKE TO THE JONESES PROPERTY, YOU KNOW, WOULD COULD GET SOME FRONTAGE THERE BECAUSE THAT RENTAL PLACE WITH THAT ONE DRIVE TO IT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THAT'S BEEN THERE. I'VE BEEN THERE A WHILE, BUT IT KIND OF CUT OFF THAT FRONTAGE THERE GOING ALONG THE HIGHWAY AND NOW AND LIKE THIS ON OUR PLAN IS SHOWING. THAT MINOR COLLECTOR GOING THROUGH THERE AND KIND OF CUTTING OFF AND GOING THROUGH THE JONES'S PROPERTY, WHICH WOULD DRASTICALLY CHANGE THEIR PROPERTY ALSO.

BUT THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE'RE AT, IS LOOKING AT DO WE NEED TO ARE WE INTERESTED IN DOING AWAY WITH THIS ON OUR. DOES TEXDOT HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS PLAN? THEIR ORIGINAL. THIS PLAN HERE. YES, MA'AM. AND WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRAFFIC A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS.

AND THEY, THEY DO HAVE A SAY IN FOR EXAMPLE, THE WIDTH OF OUR DRIVEWAY AND WE NEED TO DECELERATE. DO WE NEED A TURN LANE THERE? THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

IS THAT SOMETHING YOU'RE. YOU SAID YOU WERE DISCUSSING IT WITH THEM.

WE'RE WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS.

OKAY. I WANT TO MAKE SURE WITH THE JONESES THAT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

YES. COULD YOU REPEAT IT, PLEASE? WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WITH YOU.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE WITH YOU IS THAT WE'RE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED IN THAT THOROUGHFARE GOING THROUGH YOUR PROPERTY. YOU'RE NOT OPPOSED TO HIS DEVELOPMENT. MR. JONES. A ROAD IS NOT REALLY A THOROUGHFARE.

I MEAN, DO YOU MIND? DO YOU MIND COMING JUST SO WE CAN.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M HEARING YOU. I WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND. I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING IS A THOROUGHFARE OF THE PURPLE.

I'M NOT SURE IS THE ROAD THAT GOES IN A SINGLE ROAD THAT GOES INTO THE PROPERTY AND NO, I DON'T BELIEVE WE'RE INTERESTED IN THAT WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING, YOU KNOW WHAT? WHAT'S GOING TO BE DONE WITH THE REST OF THE PROPERTY? WHAT'S THE PURPLE ON THE LEFT? THAT'S WHERE THAT'S THE SHADE OF THE OF WHERE THE THE CORRIDOR WOULD GO.

IS THAT THE THOROUGHFARE? YES. OKAY. SO BEFORE YOU LEAVE, I BELIEVE THE CITY MANAGER WAS ASKING YOU,

[00:20:01]

THE QUESTION WAS, I BELIEVE, DO YOU OPPOSE 7-ELEVEN BUILDING OUT IN THAT LOCATION? OKAY. I THINK THAT'S YOUR QUESTION. I DON'T DON'T SEE A REASON FOR THE THOROUGHFARE THAT WE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SEEMS. I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE. [INAUDIBLE] HAVING TO BUY BACK AT LEAST ONCE IN MY CAREER FROM THE CITY.

THERE WAS A DEAD THING BACK, SO I WANTED TO GET INTO THAT AGAIN.

UNDERSTOOD. LESSON LEARNED. RIGHT. BETTER FOR YOU.

YES. OKAY. AND IF AGAIN, IF WE IF IT'S ABANDONED, THAT'S THE WAY THAT WE WORK.

I MEAN, WE WERE PROCEEDING AS IF THIS ROAD DIDN'T EXIST ANYWAY.

AND I THINK THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S BETTER FOR EVERYBODY IF.

SO YOU HAVE NO PROBLEM BEING ABLE TO ENTER NOT OFF THE PROPOSED THOROUGHFARE.

CORRECT. OKAY. YOU CAN SEE OUR DRIVE IS PLANNED TO ENTER OFF THE 523.

OKAY. AND WE WOULDN'T JUST. SORRY. JUST SO WE KNOW, IT'S.

IT WOULDN'T BE [INAUDIBLE] BECAUSE IT'S NOT THERE.

RIGHT? IT'S JUST IT'S JUST AN IDEA. IT'S AN IDEA.

DO WE CORRECT. CART HAS BEEN BEFORE THE HORSE. OKAY.

YES. 21 YEARS. YES. ALL RIGHT. SO WE JUST WANT TO.

WE DON'T NEED TO ABANDON IT. DO WE WANT TO MOVE? LET THEM WITH THEIR SITE PLAN GO AND NOT FOLLOW THAT MINOR COLLECTOR ROAD.

I AM, IF THE JONES DON'T WANT IT AND YOU DON'T NEED IT.

I FEEL LIKE WE'RE AT A CONSENSUS. WELL, HANG ON A MINUTE.

SO YOU DON'T PLAN ON HAVING INGRESS OR EGRESS FROM 523? NO. SO YOU'RE SO YOU'RE GOING TO SUCK IN TRUCKS FROM THE FRONTAGE ROAD TO DUMP THEM RIGHT OFF ONTO THE FRONTAGE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE STOP SIGN.

NO, NO. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. ERIC, WOULD YOU USE.

WOULD YOU ILLUSTRATE FOR US WHERE THE PROPOSED ENTRANCES AND EXITS ARE? SURE. SO OUR OUR ENTRANCE IS RIGHT HERE ON 523.

[INAUDIBLE] NOT GIVE US ANY ACCESS OFF OF THIS ROAD.

OKAY. WE HAD A DRIVE RIGHT HERE ORIGINALLY. TEX-DOT DENIED THAT AND SAID THIS COULD BE OUR ONLY ENTRANCE.

SO AGAINST 7-ELEVEN WISHES, WE HAVE TO MIX CARS AND TRUCKS ENTERING INTO THE SAME DRIVEWAY.

AND EXITING. CORRECT AND EXITING. CORRECT. SO THE TRUCKS COME IN FUEL, PARK IF THEY WANT TO PARK AND COME OUT AND EXIT HERE. AND WE DON'T SEE THAT CHANGING FROM TEXDOT.

YOU DO NOT SEE EVER THEM GRANTING YOU ACCESS.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO LET THEM JUMP ONTO THAT CURB IN THE FRONT. THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING. IT WOULD CREATE TOO MUCH OF A PINCH POINT HERE TO DO AUTOMOBILE ACCESS.

SOMEWHERE IN HERE. SO IT JUST THAT'S THE ONLY ONE THEY WOULD GIVE US.

WELL, I UNDERSTAND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT YOU GUYS WERE TALKING ABOUT AND WHAT I THOUGHT I UNDERSTOOD WERE THE SAME THING.

AND YOU WEREN'T SAYING, BECAUSE WE'RE NOT GETTING THIS ROADWAY RIGHT HERE, WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO SOME OTHER PLAN WITH TEXDOT AND CUTTING INTO THE TO THE CURVATURE ON THE FRONTAGE, BECAUSE I'M LIKE, THEY'RE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO DO THAT.

NO, I WAS JUST SAYING, IF THE ROAD, IF WE DID DO THE ROAD, WE WOULD LOSE THIS.

AND THEN THE CARS WOULD THEN ACCESS HERE AND THE TRUCKS WOULD THEN ACCESS HERE.

GOTCHA. EXIT OUT THERE. BUT. WHICH I MEAN, 20 OR 30 YEARS FROM NOW. IF A THOROUGHFARE DECIDES TO GO THROUGH, THEY CAN READJUST THEIR ENTRANCES OFF OF THAT ROAD, BUT I'D BE PROBABLY A LONG, LONG WAYS OFF. RIGHT.

DOES THAT MAKE YOU MORE COMFORTABLE? COUNCIL MEMBER.

OKAY. WELL, I MEAN, YOU HAD SOME CONCERNS. SEEMED LEGITIMATELY.

COME AGAIN? I SAID YOU HAD SOME CONCERNS. I WAS JUST MAKING SURE YOU'RE COMFORTABLE NOW.

YES. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PRINT FIT WHAT THEY WERE SPEAKING AS FAR AS WHAT WAS PROPOSED.

AND THERE WASN'T SOMETHING ELSE THAT WAS NOT SHOWN HERE.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE, FOR CLARITY THAT WE WEREN'T GOING TO SIT HERE AND RULE ON SOMETHING THAT WAS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE THAT MAYBE I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND,

[00:25:04]

SOUNDS GOOD TO ME. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER POSSIBLE DISCUSSION OR ACTION? I MAKE A MOTION TO. WE'RE NOT ABANDONING IT.

SO JUST NOT HONOR THE THOROUGHFARE MAPPED OUT ON THE 2005 PLAN.

WELL, THE AGENDA ITEM WAS TO GET BACK TO IT.

IT'S A CONCEPT PLAN. IT'S ASPIRATIONAL. IT'S 21 YEARS OLD.

YOU'RE BASICALLY GOING TO IGNORE IT. YOU'RE UPDATING THE CURRENT PLAN AND THEIR CONCEPT IS FINE.

SO IT'S NOT TO APPROVE THE CONCEPT. I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONCEPT PLAN REVIEW FOR THE 7-ELEVEN DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE MAP. ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE A MOTION IN PLACE BY COUNCIL MEMBER DANIEL.

SECOND. SECOND BY COUNCILMAN SMITH. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION BEFORE I CALL FOR A VOTE? QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. NOT HEARING ANY. I WILL CALL FOR A VOTE.

ALL IN FAVOR? SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE. AYE. OPPOSED SAME SIGN.

MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. NUMBER SIX.

DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON SELECTING STREET OVERLAYS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2027 INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH BRAZORIA COUNTY.

[6. Discussion and possible action on selecting street overlays for the Fiscal Year 2027 Interlocal Agreement with Brazoria County. ]

PRO TEM AND COUNCIL. SO AGAIN, JUST SELECTING OUR PROJECTS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR OR THIS NEXT COMING YEAR, I SHOULD SAY. SO A LOT OF THESE ROADS ARE FROM LAST YEAR.

MOST OF THEM ARE FROM LAST YEAR. JUST ONES THAT WE DIDN'T GET TO.

ALL THESE ROADS ARE ON HERE FOR VARIOUS REASONS.

SOME OF THEM HAVE VERY LOW SCORES ON OUR MOST RECENT STREET CONDITION ASSESSMENT THAT HDR PERFORMED FOR US, SOME OF THEM, YOU KNOW, MAY HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A HIGHER SCORE ON HERE.

SO BUT AS WE DRIVE THEM TODAY, THEY'VE DEGRADED QUITE A BIT.

SO WE WENT AHEAD AND INCLUDED THEM ON HERE. AND ALSO THERE'S A NEW ADDITION ON HERE THAT WASN'T ON HERE IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR.

AND THAT IS THE SIMS AND PIEBURN AREA. WE GOT A FEW WORK ORDERS FOR THAT ONE.

SO I WENT AND DROVE IT IN SOME PRETTY, PRETTY POOR CONDITION.

I PROBABLY RATED IT A 3 OR 4 AT THIS POINT, NOT A FIVE ANYMORE.

SO WE WENT AHEAD AND INCLUDED THAT ONE. AND I ALSO JUST LISTED OUT OUR CURRENT UNPAVED ROADS, JUST SO THAT'S CLEAR AGAIN THIS YEAR AS A WAYNE DRIVE.

CAITLIN LANE AND PAYTON ROAD ARE STILL CITY OWNED ROADS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN PAVED AT ALL.

THEY'RE JUST GRAVEL ROADS. AND ALSO INCLUDED THIS LIST HERE, WHICH IS JUST ALL OF OUR PREVIOUS OVERLAYS THAT WE'VE DONE.

I ALSO SEE THAT THAT DIDN'T TRANSLATE VERY WELL ONTO THAT.

BUT YES, THAT'S EVERYTHING WE'VE DONE THAT I COULD GO BACK AND FIND SINCE 2017, I WENT BACK TO THE OLD AGENDA ITEMS AND THAT'S WHAT I SAW.

IT WAS APPROVED AND LISTED OUT. IT LOOKS LIKE APPARENTLY YEARS AGO.

SO AGAIN, IT'S SEE THE CONDITION IT'S IN TODAY.

SO REBUILD DEFINITELY THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR THAT ONE.

IN MY OVERALL RECOMMENDATION FOR THIS YEAR IS FOR US TO COMPLETELY REBUILD GIFFORD ROAD, GIFFORD LANE.

THAT PUTS US RIGHT AT ABOUT A MILE, WHICH IS WHAT THE COUNTY IS GOING TO ALLOW US.

I WILL SAY I AM GOING TO TRY TO INCLUDE THAT SECTION OF NORTH ARCOLA AS WELL AND SEE IF THE COUNTY WILL HELP US OUT WITH THAT ONE, BECAUSE I CAN SHAVE OFF A LITTLE BIT OF THAT GIFFORD ROAD PORTION THAT ACTUALLY TRAVELS DOWN PAST GIFFORD LANE.

THAT PORTION WASN'T TOO BAD. AND THAT WOULD BUY US A LITTLE BIT OF A MILEAGE THERE TO INCLUDE [INAUDIBLE] AND MAKE IT AROUND ONE MILE.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT I PROPOSE FOR THIS YEAR AND IT'S OPEN FOR DISCUSSION.

OR IF THERE'S ANY OTHER ROADS YOU WANT TO LOOK AT OR DISCUSS, OR IF NOT, WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH SENDING THESE TO THE COUNTY.

OR WE CAN, I CAN BRING IT ALL BACK AND DISCUSS IT AGAIN.

IF THERE'S ITEMS OR OTHER ROADS THAT YOU FEEL SHOULD BE INCLUDED.

THANK YOU HECTOR. I KNOW GIFFORD ROAD HAS BEEN I THINK I WILL SPEAK FOR THE MAYOR A LITTLE BIT.

IT SEEMS LIKE HE'S HAD A LOT OF INTEREST IN THAT AREA TRYING TO UPGRADE THAT AREA.

I KNOW HE'S HEARD FROM THE CITIZENS AND THEIR INTEREST IN SEEING THAT DONE SO. I'M OPEN TO THAT.

[00:30:09]

IF YOU GO WITH OVERLAYS, IT'S TWO MILES. BUT I THINK AT THIS POINT WITH THE ROADS THAT, YOU KNOW, MAJORITY OF THE ROADS WE HAVE IN THIS LIST, I WOULD DEFINITELY SUGGEST TO REBUILD AT THIS POINT.

AND GUILFORD ROAD AND GUILFORD LANE. TOTAL REBUILD.

TOTAL REBUILD. YES. SO THAT'S OUR 1.2 MILES I THINK.

TOTALLY. YES. AND AGAIN I AM GOING TO TRY TO SQUEEZE IN THIS.

I KNOW THAT SECTION THAT, YOU KNOW SECTION OF IT GOT CONCRETE CONCRETED RECENTLY.

RIGHT. AND SO THE COURTHOUSE AREA. SO JUST TRYING TO DO THAT SECTION FROM 35 UP TO THAT NEWLY CONCRETED AREA.

THAT'S ABOUT TWO MILES. SO WE'LL SEE IF WE CAN, YOU KNOW, THE COUNTY WILL WORK WITH US ON THAT.

AND AGAIN, THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA MILEAGE THERE PAST GIFFORD THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT A LOT, BUT A LITTLE BIT THAT WE COULD POTENTIALLY GIVE UP IF THAT HELPS ENTICE THEM TO HELP US WITH OUR GOAL AS WELL.

I LIKE THAT IDEA. YEAH. LOOKS LIKE IT'S ON ITS WAY TO BECOMING A FAILING, LIKE WESTERN. IT'S LIKE IT'S GETTING THERE.

WELL, AND WITH GUILFORD AGAIN, I THINK WE DISCUSSED THIS LAST TIME, BUT WE HAD SOME WE HAD SOME ISSUES AS FAR AS DRAINAGE AND THAT SORT OF THING. AND WE HAVE RECTIFIED THOSE.

YEAH. WE HAD SOME DRAINAGE ISSUES ON GIFFORD LANE THAT GOT BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION, AND THAT WAS RIGHT AT THAT UNPAVED SECTION THAT CAITLIN LANE MEETS THERE.

MR. BOW, MR. BOW THAT LIVES THERE ON THE CORNER.

WE HAD SOME DRAINAGE ISSUE COMPLAINTS FROM HIM AND ONE OF HIS NEIGHBORS, AND YEAH, WE WENT OVER THERE AND REGRADED AND INSTALLED CULVERTS, ALL THOSE THINGS.

AND THEY'VE BEEN HAPPY WITH IT AS OF THUS FAR.

I GUESS MY QUESTION IS WITH A STREET REBUILD, IS THAT GOING TO BE THE EXTENT OF THIS, OR IS THERE GOING TO BE MORE ON OUR END THAT NEEDS TO GET DONE AT THE SAME TIME WHEN THIS REBUILD IS GOING ON? YOU KNOW, ARE WE GOING TO HAVE ARE WE GOING TO HAVE SOME ACTIONS WITH THAT AREA? BECAUSE GOSH, AND MAYBE YOU'LL, MAYBE YOU'LL REMEMBER, AM I CRAZY THINKING THAT THERE, THAT THERE WAS SOME ADDITIONAL UNDERGROUND AND SOME SEWER AND WATER THAT NEEDED SOMETHING OVER THERE.

YOU KNOW, AT A TIME IT WAS A SUSPECTED SEWER LINE COULD BE FAILING UNDER THERE.

RIGHT. I KNOW THAT WE HAVE ENDED UP HAMMERING A LOT OF THAT.

YEAH, I THINK WE'VE DISCUSSED IT, BUT I DON'T REALLY REMEMBER WHAT WE DID. I MEAN, IT IS AN OLD PIPE, BUT WE DIDN'T SEE ANY MAJOR ISSUES WITH IT. AND AS FAR AS WHEN YOU DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD, I MEAN IT'S IT'S SORT OF SLOWING OFF ON BOTH ENDS, RIGHT? YOU ONLY GOT A SEWER LINE ON ONE SIDE. AND SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S WHAT'S THE ANSWER FOR THE OTHER SIDE.

AND I THINK AT THIS POINT IT'S JUST BASE IS STARTING TO ERODE AWAY.

SO IT'S JUST STARTING TO KIND OF FLATTEN OUT AND PUSH OUT INTO THOSE DITCHES. SO I THINK WE REALLY NEED TO GET A BETTER STABLE BASE UNDER THERE TO PREVENT IT FROM SLIDING OUT.

THEN MY NEXT QUESTION LEADS ME TO MY NEXT QUESTION.

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN WE LOOKED AT THIS? I MEAN, IT'S BEEN A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO PROBABLY, RIGHT? YEAH. WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT GUILFORD ROAD AND GUILFORD LANE. I'M SAYING LIKE THE, THE UNDERGROUND, THE, THE YEAH, IT WAS, IT WAS A COUPLE YEARS AGO.

IT WAS PRETTY RECENT BECAUSE WE, I'M THINKING WE YOU GOT YOUR CAMERA WORKING, RIGHT? YES. Y'ALL MAY WANT TO LOOK AT THAT AGAIN JUST BEFORE WE GO THROUGH THIS ROAD TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NOT SOMETHING ELSE THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

I MEAN, IF WE'RE GOING TO REBUILD THE ROAD, I THINK IT MAY BE WORTH ANOTHER LOOK IF WE'RE SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, IT DIDN'T LOOK TOO BAD AS OPPOSED TO IT LOOKED GREAT.

OKAY. AND JOHN, I'M OPEN TO YOUR COMMENTS ON THIS TOO.

I MEAN, I'M JUST I THINK WHAT WE LOOKED AT, IT WAS MORE OF THE MATERIAL.

THANK YOU. SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO GET YOU UP.

YEAH. NO PROBLEM. WHAT WE WERE LOOKING AT WHEN WE WERE ORIGINALLY LOOKING AT THESE ROADS WAS THE MATERIAL TYPE.

WHEN YOU DO SANITARY SEWER BACK IN THE OLDER DAYS, WHAT THEY WOULD DO IS THEY WOULD USE CLAY TILE, RIGHT? AND SO THAT CLAY TILE HAS A VERY, VERY HIGH CHANCE OF HAVING [INAUDIBLE] WHICH ARE EXPERIENCING IN YOUR SYSTEM.

SO I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE DID IS WE IDENTIFIED CLAY PIPE.

WE DIDN'T IDENTIFY IT AS, YOU KNOW, IT'S BAD.

YOU KNOW, CLAY DON'T LASTS FOREVER BUT IF THERE'S SOME POTENTIAL [INAUDIBLE], I MEAN, RIGHT NOW, YOUR SANITARY SEWER IN THE CITY OF ANGLETON REALLY NEEDS SOME ADDRESSING.

WELL, MY POINT TO THIS IS, THOUGH, IS IF THERE ARE PARTS OF THE SANITARY SEWER THAT RUN UNDER THE STREET, WE'RE GOING TO GO AND REBUILD THE ENTIRE STREET.

AND BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT RUNS, BUT I THINK THAT THAT'S WORTH LOOKING AT BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE WE RUN INTO ISSUES.

WE JUMP AHEAD, WE GO DO SOMETHING AND THEN WE'RE LIKE, OH, DANG.

[00:35:02]

AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T GET OURSELVES INTO THAT. BECAUSE IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN MAYBE WE'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE THE DECISION TO JUMP ON GIFFORD RIGHT AWAY. AND THAT MAY BE ONE THAT WE PUT OFF TILL NEXT YEAR AND JUST SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO, BUT I REALLY WANT TO HAVE THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE FOR, FOR ALL OF US TOGETHER TO MAKE THAT DECISION.

BECAUSE OTHERWISE I WOULD JUST SAY, YEAH, LET'S, LET'S, YOU KNOW, WAIT TILL THE MAYOR GETS BACK AND LET'S HAVE ANOTHER LITTLE DISCUSSION ABOUT IT AND WE'LL MOVE FORWARD WITH, WITH WHATEVER STREETS WE THINK WE SHOULD DO.

YES. AND JUST AS A COMMENT IN GENERAL YOU KNOW, WE'RE TYPICALLY LOOKING AT REBUILDING A ROAD OR, YOU KNOW, AND HDR HAS COME AND PRESENTED, YOU KNOW, TO COMPLETELY RE CONCRETE CURB AND GUTTER ROAD, RIGHT? TYPICALLY WE'RE REPLACING WATER AND SEWER ALONG WITH IT BECAUSE THESE ROADS THAT HAVE DETERIORATED TO A POINT, THEY'RE OLD ROADS. SO YOU KNOW, WHEN WE I GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BUT WHEN WE GET TO THAT POINT, WELL, THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE MUCH THAT WE CAN GO OUT AND REBUILD OR OVERLAY WITHOUT SAYING THERE'S AN OLD PIPE UNDER THERE BECAUSE THESE ARE ALL OLD AREAS.

THESE ARE ALL ROADS THAT NEED ADDRESSING. SO THERE'S GOING TO BE OLD PIPING UNDER ALL THESE ROADS, RIGHT? SO, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU LOOK AT LIKE ARCOLA, RIGHT, THAT ONE'S OUT OF THE QUESTION.

THERE'S AN OLD SEWER LINE RUNNING DOWN THE MIDDLE, YOU KNOW, AND SO IT'S JUST, JUST TO SAY LIKE, IF WE'RE GONNA, IF WE'RE GOING TO START DISCUSSING THAT, THEN WE REALLY GOT TO BE SERIOUS ABOUT REPLACING SOME SEWER PIPES AND DOING THE ROADS ALL AT THE SAME TIME, RIGHT? INSTEAD OF JUST TRYING TO PROPOSE OVERLAYS OR THROWING FUNDS AT OVERLAYS.

WHILE I AGREE WITH THAT, I WOULD SAY THAT I WOULD SAY THAT THE DIFFERENCE IS, IS THE CONDITION THAT THE BASE OF THIS ROAD IS IN.

AND THAT'S, THAT'S MY CONCERN IS THE SEVERITY.

IF WE WERE JUST, IF WE WERE JUST DOING AN OVERLAY OR WE'D SAID THAT SOMETHING HAD JUST GOTTEN A LITTLE BIT FURTHER ALONG WHERE WE NEEDED TO DO A REBUILD ON THE ROAD.

LET'S TAKE WESTERN AVENUE, FOR INSTANCE. EVEN THOUGH IT'S ITS SEWERS, I DON'T THINK ARE THAT CLOSE TO THE ROAD SEWERS.

YEAH. THAT'S CORRECT. YEAH. BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE THAT'S WHERE THE LIFT STATION IS.

RIGHT. IN THAT, IN THAT. SO THAT ONE WOULD BE A NON, WOULD BE A NON ISSUE.

RIGHT. BUT SOME OF THESE OTHERS I DON'T, I DON'T THINK THAT BECAUSE WE, I THINK THAT THIS IS A FACTOR.

I'M NOT LOOKING AT IT AS OKAY. WELL THIS IS SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO REPLACE.

I'M SAYING THAT THIS MAY BE A FACTOR IN US PUSHING OFF THAT PROJECT TO ANOTHER POINT IN AT WHAT TIME WE CAN DO ALL OF THAT, YOU KNOW, NOT NECESSARILY SAYING THAT WE'RE GOING TO ALLOCATE THE FUNDS, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE A, A BULLET, A DATA POINT FOR US MAKING THE DECISION. AND THAT'S SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S IF IT'S A DESIRE TO BRING THIS BACK, RIGHT? WHAT I CAN DO IS I CAN INCLUDE SOME MORE ADDITIONAL OPTIONS, RIGHT? BUT ALSO INCLUDE THAT DATA POINT THAT SAYS IT'S A MATERIAL WE SHOULD REPLACE OR THE PIPES OVER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF YEARS OLD.

YOU KNOW, I'M NOT EVEN WANTING THAT. I'M JUST I'M JUST WANTING CONFIRMATION FROM ONE OF YOU TWO THAT SAYS THAT WE SHOULD GO AND DO THIS ROAD WITHOUT MESSING WITH ANYTHING UNDERGROUND, BECAUSE IT'S BEEN A COUPLE OF YEARS SINCE WE'VE LOOKED AT IT AND THE ROAD'S FALLEN INTO DISREPAIR, AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE BASE WHEN THE SEWER LINE IS DAMN CLOSE TO THE ROAD. YEAH. AND THAT'S IS THAT SOMETHING YOU CAN DO? YEAH. SO WE GOT TWO OPTIONS. WE CAN GO AND FILM THE SEWER LINES, WHICH LIKE I SAID, WE DID DO A RECENT TIME AGO.

WE CAN DO THAT AGAIN. AND WE CAN ALSO JUST GET SOME GOOD CORE SAMPLES.

I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY YOU THINK YOU'D NEED ON. IT'S LIKE A HALF MILE. YEAH.

I MEAN, THE CONVERSATION NEEDS TO BE WHAT DOES THE CITY WANT TO DO WITH THAT OLDER PIPE? AND THERE'S. IS IT STILL BEING USED? IT'S STILL IN USE.

YEAH. OKAY. OH, WE'VE GOT THERE'S A BUNCH OF IT.

YEAH. IT'S ALL. SO IT'S NOT JUST ANGLETON, IT'S EVERY OLDER ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY.

YOUR SANITARY SEWER MAJORITY OF IT'S EITHER GOING TO BE CONCRETE, WHICH GETS BEAT UP BY THE, BY THE SEWER, OR THE TOP OF THE PIPE WILL BE COMPLETELY GONE.

AND IT'S JUST DIRT HOLDING IT UP. AND THAT'S WHERE WE'VE BEEN GETTING THOSE ARE ALL OUR COLLAPSES.

THOSE ARE COLLAPSES. THAT'S WHERE YOUR VACUUM TRUCK FELL IN OVER THERE ON.

IT EATS AWAY ALL THE CEMENT AND YOU'RE LEFT WITH THE AGGREGATE THAT'S FALLEN INTO THE PIPE.

I UNDERSTAND THAT. I GUESS WHAT I'M GETTING TO IS A FOLLOW UP A LITTLE BIT.

IF WE PUSH THIS, I DON'T THINK OUR NEXT MEETING IS UNTIL 20TH.

OCTOBER 20TH. SO WE'RE PUSHING ALMOST A MONTH.

IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU ALL TO EITHER DO THE SAMPLING OR THE SCOPING, OR WHATEVER YOU NEED TO DO SO THAT WE CAN MOVE POTENTIALLY FORWARD BECAUSE. OR JUST TELL ME THAT YOU'RE REASONABLY CONFIDENT THAT WE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM.

THAT'S THE OTHER. ARE YOU REASONABLY CONFIDENT TODAY?

[00:40:04]

WHAT YOU DON'T DO OVER. SO THERE'S A POTENTIAL THAT IF IT'S NOT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR RIGHT ON IT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO OPEN UP A SMALL SECTION HERE AND THERE TO PULL THAT BURSTING LINE.

BUT BY DOING THAT, YOU WERE GOING TO INCREASE THE LONGEVITY OF YOUR ROADWAY QUITE A BIT, BECAUSE WHEN YOU DO PIPE BURSTING, IT'S A WELDED POLYPROPYLENE OR POLYETHYLENE HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE PIPE.

THERE IS NO WAY FOR WATER TO GET IN, AND YOU'RE STARTING TO SEE.

WHEN YOU HAVE THESE HEAVY RAINS, YOU ALL ARE HAVING TO OPEN UP A GIANT CLARIFIER THAT YOU NEVER USE OTHER THAN RAIN EVENTS AT YOUR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT, BECAUSE OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, IS ALLOWING WATER INTO IT.

AND THEN YOU'RE HAVING TO TREAT ALL THIS RAINWATER, WHICH IS COSTING YOU ALL MONEY, MAINTENANCE, ELECTRICITY, CHEMICALS. SO ANYTIME YOU CAN GET ANY OF THESE SANITARY SEWER LINES OUT, ESPECIALLY FOR YOUR ROAD AFTER WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, AND THAT'S PART OF THE COST ON THE NEXT NEXT THING AS WELL.

AND KEEP IN MIND THAT I'M NOT TRYING TO YOU KNOW, I'M ABSOLUTELY NOT TRYING TO COMPLICATE THIS PROCESS.

IT'S JUST WE'VE ALL ALL OF US HAVE DISCUSSED THIS.

AND I'M ALSO SPEAKING WITH, WITH PROBABLY, WELL, NOT PROBABLY DEFINITELY WITHOUT, WITH THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE HERE, BECAUSE I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE WHERE THAT SANITARY SEWER LINE RUNS.

YOU GUYS WOULD KNOW BETTER, BUT I JUST I KIND OF MEMORY TELLS ME THAT IT WAS REALLY CLOSE TO, IF NOT PARTIALLY UNDER THE ROAD. AND I MIGHT BE WRONG ABOUT THAT.

IT'S IT'S PRETTY CLOSE TO THE ROAD. IT'S NOT UNDER THE ROAD, BUT IT'S NOT PRETTY CLOSE IN THE AREA.

AND IF IT'S NOT UNDER THE ROAD, I'M NOT REALLY ALL THAT WORRIED ABOUT IT REALLY.

OUR MAP IS NOT COOPERATING. IT WON'T LOAD. SO SOMETHING SOMETHING WE CAN ALSO DO TOO IS WE CAN GET COSTS ON, YOU KNOW, SOME ROUNDABOUT FIGURES OF WHAT IT WOULD COST US TO PIPERS THESE AREAS.

RIGHT. SO IF WE WANTED TO TRY TO DO IT IN TANDEM OR SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THIS, YOU KNOW, UPCOMING BUDGET YEAR, YOU KNOW, WE DID A LOT FOR FOR SOME MAINTENANCE REPAIRS, RIGHT.

IF WE WERE TRYING TO, RIGHT. WE DID INCLUDE FOR SEWER LINE REPLACEMENT.

SO WE'LL SEE IF IT FITS ANYWHERE OR WE CAN FIT IT OUT OF ALL THAT.

YOU KNOW, MAYBE THAT'S A POSSIBILITY TOO. OR MAYBE WE FIND THE WORST SECTIONS AND DO THAT.

WHAT DO THE ADJACENT ONES LOOK LIKE? SO WE ACTUALLY JUST DID A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE ROAD RIGHT THERE.

THAT'S THE LIFT STATION 24 PROJECT I REFERENCED IN THERE.

WE ACTUALLY DID A GOOD PORTION COMING FROM THAT LIFT STATION RUNNING NORTH TO THE SOUTH OF IT.

OKAY. ACTUALLY PAST GIFFORD DOWN GIFFORD ROAD, PAST GIFFORD LANE.

WE REPLACED GOOD SECTIONS OF THAT IN THE MANUALS AS WELL.

WE FOUND A LOT OF I-9 WHEN WE DID THAT. WE HAD ACTIVE I&I GOING STREAMS OF WATER GOING INTO THE PIPE.

I AND I FOR THOSE LISTENING. INFLOW AND INFILTRATION.

SO IT'S IT'S ESSENTIALLY DRAINING RAINWATER THAT'S BEEN COLLECTED INTO THE DITCH THAT'S FINDING ITS WAY INTO THE SANITARY SEWER.

AGAIN, THIS IS NOT SPECIFIC TO ANGLETON. THIS IS A PROBLEM IN ANY ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY.

BEFORE 1990, THAT WAS JUST THE MATERIALS THAT THEY HAD BEFORE PVC BECAME PREVALENT.

IT'S A PROBLEM. NOBODY PLANNED TO REPLACE THESE THINGS WHEN WE PUT THEM IN, JUST LIKE WE'RE NOT DOING IT TODAY.

WE'RE INSTALLING THINGS EVERY DAY AND WE'RE NOT MAKING A PLAN TO REPLACE IT IN 50-60 YEARS.

RIGHT? SAME OPPOSITE. SO MY QUESTION IS I'M TRYING TO WHITTLE IT DOWN.

IS IT YOUR OPINION THAT WE SHOULD WAIT AND Y'ALL GO AHEAD AND DO WHATEVER IT IS THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE? HOW Y'ALL I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU HOW TO DO IT BECAUSE IT'S IN OUR BEST INTEREST TO POTENTIALLY ADDRESS ALL ISSUES AT ONE TIME LIKE COUNCIL MEMBER SARTIN IS RAISING. YEP. WE CAN LOOK AT ALL THOSE THINGS.

OR DO YOU WANT TO PROCEED? SO WE GOT A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME.

OKAY. BECAUSE I THINK THAT MIGHT BE THE SMART WAY TO DO IT.

AND YOU'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT WE'VE ALREADY BUDGETED, YOU KNOW, PERHAPS SOME LINES I KNOW.

CITY MANAGER CHIEF HAS, YOU KNOW, TALKED TO US SOMETIMES WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT WHAT'S BELOW THE GROUND.

SO. ABSOLUTELY. SO BUT HECTOR. HECTOR, YOU CAN DO THIS, RIGHT? BECAUSE I JUST GOT HIS INVOICE AND IT'S NOT CHEAP.

SO YOU CAN DO THAT, RIGHT? NOTHING AGAINST YOU, JOHN.

I'M TRYING. I'M TRYING TO BE A GOOD STEWARD. I'M TRYING TO BE A GOOD STEWARD OF THE CITIZENS MONEY.

YEAH. I'LL. I KNOW THAT, LIKE I COULD ORDER LIKE FOR SAMPLING AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS.

MAKE SURE THAT SEE WHAT KIND OF CONDITION THE BASE OF THAT ROAD IS. THAT'S PRETTY SIMPLE FOR US TO DO.

[00:45:04]

WHEN DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE THAT INTO THE TO THE COUNTY.

WELL, LET'S BACK UP REAL QUICK. I'M NOT I'M NOT TOTALLY I'M NOT TOTALLY SET ON REPLACING THE PIPING AS LONG AS IT'S NOT GOING TO INTERFERE WITH THE ROADWAY. YEAH. YEAH. YEAH. MAYBE WE JUST HAVE A ROPE RIGHT THERE.

YEAH. THE ONLY THE ONLY THING I'M BRINGING UP IS LET'S JUST.

LET'S JUST LOOK AT THIS. I JUST WANT TO LOOK AT IT AND THEN.

AND THEN BY ALL MEANS, WE'LL MAKE THE WE'LL MAKE THE BEST DECISION WE CAN.

BUT I AT LEAST WANTED TO BRING IT UP AS A POINT THAT THAT THAT WE NEEDED TO CONFIRM AND LOOK AT.

I KNOW WE WENT A LITTLE BIT FURTHER DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE ON THAT ONE, BUT.

NOT A PROBLEM. AND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, COUNTY LIKES TO HAVE, I THINK IT'S NOVEMBER 15TH.

IT WAS ON THEIR LETTERS AND THEY WANT TO HAVE IT BACK SO THEY CAN GET IT TO COMMISSIONERS ALL FOR IT END OF THE YEAR.

SO WE GOT TIME. WE GOT TIME. SO. DOES THAT GIVE YOU THE GUIDANCE YOU'RE LOOKING FOR? YES IT DOES. OKAY. IS THERE ANY. DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE.

IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE KIND OF ALL ON BOARD WITH GUILFORD ROAD AND GUILFORD LANE. IT'S JUST WE WANT SOME LITTLE BIT OF REASSURANCE ON WE'RE MAKING THE RIGHT MOVE.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO CAUSE OURSELVES A PROBLEM IN TWO YEARS THE ROADS STARTING TO FAIL AGAIN. RIGHT. I THINK THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE'RE AFTER. WELL, THE ONE BIG THE ONE BIG CONVERSATION WE HAD THAT WAS RELATED TO ALL OF OUR LIFT STATIONS WAS IF I MEAN, I KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT AT THEIR ONLINE TIME, RIGHT DURING RAINS AND, AND YOU WERE, YOU KIND OF HAD A LITTLE BIT OF A KIND OF A PERSONAL STUDY THAT YOU WERE DOING THAT WAS SHOWING HOW, HOW, HOW MUCH THEY WERE PUMPING DURING THE RAIN.

AND THEN YOU KNEW ON THOSE CIRCUITS WITH THOSE LIFT STATIONS THAT THOSE WERE THE ONES THAT HAD HEAVY I AND I, AND I BELIEVE THAT THAT AREA DOWN THERE WAS ONE OF THEM.

WE SAW SOME OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THIS PIPING RIGHT HERE RUNS DIRECTLY INTO ALL THAT NEW PIPING WITH THAT SAME 24 LIFT STATION.

CORRECT. AND SO ANYWAY, IT'S JUST, I DON'T KNOW.

I'M NOT ALWAYS GOOD AT REMEMBERING ALL THESE THINGS, BUT THE ONE TIME THAT I KIND OF DO THAT, I KIND OF DO GET IT. I JUST WANTED TO BRING IT UP.

THAT'S ALL IT IS. YEP. ALL RIGHT. WELL, WE'LL DO SOME MORE RESEARCH ON WE'LL COME BACK ON THE NEXT ONE.

THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER SEVEN DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON A NEW STREET BOND PACKAGE FOR CITY WIDE ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS.

[7. Discussion and possible action on a new street bond package for City-wide roadway improvements. ]

GOOD EVENING. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS ABOUT POTENTIALLY LOOKING AT SEVERAL STREETS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS WANTING TO DO SOME REHABILITATION TO SOME OF THESE NOT JUST THE ROADWAYS, BUT ALSO WHAT'S UNDERGROUND.

WE'VE BEEN SPEAKING ABOUT IN THE PREVIOUS ITEMS. SO WHAT WE ENDED UP DOING IS WE'VE WORKED WITH THE CITY.

WE'VE TALKED TO YOU ALL. WE'VE GOT INPUT FROM THE COUNCIL AND GOT A LIST OF, OF ROADS THAT THE CITY WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT POTENTIALLY REHABILITATING FOR THE NEXT ROUND OF POTENTIAL BOND PACKAGE PROJECTS.

SO DUE TO THE NATURE OF HOW HOW BUSY THESE CAN BE.

WE WENT AHEAD AND DID KIND OF A FULL LAYOUT, NOT A FULL LAYOUT, BUT A VERY CONCEPTUAL, HIGH LEVEL CONCEPTUAL LAYOUT OF WHAT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO GET A GOOD COST ESTIMATE FOR THE CITY, SO THAT THE CITY DOES GO OUT FOR BONDS, YOU HAVE THE BEST AVAILABLE, BEST AVAILABLE DATA TO YOU WITHOUT REALLY GETTING INTO THE WEEDS AND DOING SURVEYS AND STUFF SUCH.

SO THE ROADS THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED ARE THE ROADS THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED ARE RAYBURN RIDGE AND RICHLAND CIRCLE, WARREN STREET ON WARREN STREET. WE TOOK A LOOK AT TWO DIFFERENT OPTIONS.

ONE IS JUST TO REPLACE IT LIKE IT IS, WHICH IS ASPHALT.

THE OTHER ONE IS TO DO A CONCRETE CURB AND GUTTER SECTION FOR BOULEVARD SECTION IN THE CITY.

WE ALSO LOOKED AT EAST LOCUST. ONE OF THE BIG ONES THAT I THINK IS, IS A GOOD ONE.

ON HERE IS THE VARIOUS POINT REPAIRS. AND WHAT THAT DOES IS THAT ESTABLISHES A BUDGET FOR WHENEVER YOU GET ISSUES OUT THERE.

E AND I CAN WORK AND GO AND HANDLE THESE SMALL AFFAIRS AND [INAUDIBLE] ISSUES.

WE'VE GOT SEVERAL OF THEM IN THE CITY THAT WE KNOW ABOUT. SO THAT WILL ESTABLISH A BUDGET FOR HIM TO BE ABLE TO GO OUT AND DO THAT.

FOR THE POINT REPAIRS, 1.5 MILLION. HOW LONG WILL THAT LAST YOU?

[00:50:01]

YEAH. SO IT'S A SIGNIFICANT THING TO REALLY KIND OF ALLOW YOU TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR ROADS INSTEAD OF JUST CONTINUALLY GOING TO FAIL AND CAUSING MORE ISSUES.

I MEAN, IT GIVES THE STAFF THAT OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THAT CALL.

SO 1.5 MILLION IS ONLY FOR WHAT YOU KNOW NOW.

ARE YOU DOING ANYTHING PREVENTATIVE? NO. WE COULD OUT OF THAT 1.5, THIS MIGHT CUT BACK OUT OF THAT EIGHT. RIGHT.

SO BASICALLY TO PREFERENTIAL PREFERENTIALLY PICK OUT.

ESSENTIALLY MAINTENANCE ON THINGS THAT ARE THAT ARE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED IS GO AHEAD AND BUDGET FOR THAT INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR IT TO OCCUR.

OKAY. THINGS LIKE, LIKE CRACK SEALING THINGS OF THAT NATURE TO KEEP THE MOISTURE FROM GOING IN THROUGH THE CRACKS.

IT WILL INCREASE THE LONGEVITY OF THE ROADWAY.

THERE'S, THERE'S THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO TO KIND OF REALLY, REALLY IMPROVE THE LONGEVITY OF THESE, WHERE YOU GET THE MAX BENEFIT OF YOUR INVESTMENT ON THAT ROADWAY.

AND FOR PEOPLE LISTENING. WOULD YOU GIVE ONE EXAMPLE OF WHERE YOU WANT TO DO THAT TODAY? LIKE REALLY ALL UP AND DOWN COUNTY. THAT'S A PERFECT EXAMPLE.

SPANISH TRACE IS A GREAT EXAMPLE. OKAY. OKAY.

OTHER ONES THAT WE HAD THAT WERE IDENTIFIED WERE CEMETERY ROAD, WOOD STREET, TINSLEY MILLER STREET, NORTH PARRISH STREET FINISHING IT ON UP THE KHYBER EAST KHYBER.

WE DID AN ASPHALT AND CONCRETE WHERE THE CITY HAS A CHANCE TO, TO EVALUATE WHAT WOULD [INAUDIBLE] RATHER DO.

DWYER STREET. WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THAT DISTINCTION OF TAKING A DROP.

IN THE PACKET THAT I GAVE YOU, YOU CAN SEE THAT WE HAVE SOME EXHIBITS TO WHERE YOU CAN UTILIZE THAT TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC.

IT'S GOT THE LAYOUT OF THE SANITARY SEWER, WHICH IS HIGHLIGHTED IN RED, WHERE WE WOULD BE WANTING TO DO SOME PIPE BURSTING.

THE WATER LINE ALSO IS LAID OUT AND IN GREEN IS THE STORM SURGE LAID OUT IN THIS.

NOW, ONE THING I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WE TALK ABOUT IS WHILE I'VE GOT GREAT DETAILED COSTS IN HERE FOR YOU TO WHERE THIS IS GOING TO BE A REALLY GOOD BUDGETING. NUMBER ONE OF THE THINGS IS, IS, FOR INSTANCE, TAKE THIS RIVER AND RIDGE IN RICHLAND, RICHLAND CIRCLE.

THAT IS NOT HOW FAR BACK INTO ONE OF THESE DRAINAGE DITCHES.

IT DOES NOT OUTFALL INTO AN INTERNAL DRAINAGE SYSTEM SET UP TO CAPTURE THAT.

WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT WE WILL HAVE TO DO A STUDY AND IDENTIFY SOME MITIGATION FOR THE INCREASE OF FLOWS.

CURRENTLY, RIGHT NOW, THAT WATER JUST SITS ON THAT STREET AND SLOWLY FLOWS OFF.

THERE IS NO EXISTING DRAINAGE SYSTEM, SO THE DRAINAGE IS CAUSING A KIND OF CONCENTRATION, THAT KIND OF CONCENTRATION FOR THAT WATER TO GET TO THAT DITCH IS EXTREMELY LONG BECAUSE THERE'S NO SYSTEM UP THERE.

WHEN WE PUT THE SYSTEM IN, THERE WILL BE SHORTER, WHICH MEANS WE'RE GOING TO AFFECT THE HYDROGRAPH, AND HYDROGRAPH IS GOING TO PEAK. AND SO WE CAN'T CAUSE PROBLEMS TO PEOPLE DOWNSTREAM OR UPSTREAM BECAUSE WE'RE PUSHING MORE WATER.

MUCH LIKE WHAT WE DID OVER ON RICHMOND, WHERE WE HAD TO BUILD A DETENTION POND OVER THERE BEHIND THE REC CENTER IN ORDER TO OFFSET ALL THOSE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE HAD THERE.

IT WORKED REALLY WELL. WE'D HAVE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BECAUSE THAT WATER THAT SITS IN THAT ROAD AND SLOWLY METERS OUT IS NOW GOING TO HIT THAT PILE AND PUSH WATER DOWN THE STREAM. SO THERE IS GOING TO BE SOME ADDITIONAL COST.

I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT THAT'S GOING TO BE UNTIL WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE HYDRAULIC CALCULATIONS AND DO SOME SOME STUDIES ON THAT ON, ON HOW BIG OF A MITIGATION EFFORT THAT'S GOING TO BE.

SO THERE IS THERE IS SOME OF THOSE IN HERE. THE, THE, IF YOU LOOK ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE, THERE IS A FAIRLY DETAILED FOR A HIGH LEVEL ESTIMATE OF THE BID ITEMS THAT ARE TO BE EXPECTED ON THIS.

SO WE WANTED, LIKE I SAID, I KNOW Y'ALL ARE GETTING VERY SERIOUS ABOUT THIS.

WE WANTED TO TAKE A REALLY GOOD LOOK AT THIS SO THAT YOU DON'T GET SURPRISED.

IN THIS ALSO THERE IS WHAT WE'RE CALLING 30% CONTINGENCY.

THAT'S REALLY MORE FOR MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. AS YOU SEE ON HERE, WE HAVE 50 OR 40 ITEMS THAT WE KNOW OF.

[00:55:05]

SO THAT WILL COVER THE OTHER ONES. THESE ARE JUST BIG TICKET ITEMS. THAT'S TYPICALLY HOW YOU BUDGET THESE. BUT EACH STREET THAT WE IDENTIFIED HAS GOT AN EXHIBIT SHOWING THE LAYOUT.

FOR INSTANCE, I WANTED TO SHOW Y'ALL ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HECTOR AND I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, THERE IS ONE ON. GIVE ME JUST A SECOND. I THINK IT'S WITH.

[INAUDIBLE] GO LOOK ON SLIDE NUMBER ONE UNDER.

WE'LL JUST LOOK AT NORTH PARISH. AS YOU CAN SEE ON NORTH PARISH WE ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO NOT JUST PIPE BURST THE PIPES THAT RIGHT THERE ON THE ROAD, WE'RE GOING TO THE NEXT UPSTREAM MANHOLE, RIGHT.

BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO BURST BACK IN THERE AND TEAR UP THE ROAD IF WE'RE GOING TO REPLACE THAT ROAD.

SO WE'VE GOT THOSE COSTS INCLUDED IN HERE. NOW, THE ONE ABOUT NORTH PARISHES, WE'VE GOT TO BE AWARE THAT CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW THERE'S NOWHERE FOR IT TO DRAIN INTO. SO WE WILL HAVE TO DO WEST MILLER STREET FIRST BEFORE WE CAN DO NORTH PARISH BECAUSE THERE IS NO OUTFALL. BACK IN I THINK THE 90S, ANGLETON DID A A DRAINAGE STUDY IN THREE MONTHS OF PRELIMINARY PLANS TO PUT IN A LARGE STORM SEWER ON MILLER. IT WAS NEVER PUT IN, BUT IT WAS SO THAT YOU CAN DO PROJECTS LIKE PARISH.

SO THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE COORDINATED. WHEN WE DO THIS, WE WOULD HAVE TO DO MILLER BEFORE WE COULD FINISH OFF PARISH.

MOVING ON, TINSLEY IS A SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT.

THAT'S GOING TO BE ONE OF YOUR BIGGEST COSTS.

JUST DUE TO THE LENGTH. AND. HANG ON. MY APOLOGIES.

OKAY. IF YOU'LL GO TO SLIDE 110. AND THIS COULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT AS FAR AS THE BUDGETING WHEN WE GET TO BUDGETING TALKS. ON THIS ONE HERE, THIS IS SWIFT STREET ON THAT.

WE ARE GOING TO DO THE PIPE BURSTING BECAUSE THE SANITARY SEWERS ARE IN THE BACKYARDS.

WE'RE GOING TO DO THE PIPE BURSTING FOR THE LINE.

THAT DEFINITELY GOES UNDERNEATH THE ROAD, JUST LIKE WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT PREVIOUSLY, BUT ALSO BECAUSE WE'LL BE IN THOSE BACKYARDS BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THAT LAST MANHOLE IS.

WE DON'T WANT TO COME BACK INTO PEOPLE'S BACKYARDS TEN, 15 YEARS LATER AND TURN THEM BACK UP, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE BACK THERE ANYWAYS. WE WENT AHEAD AND INCLUDED THOSE INTO IT.

SO IT'S A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT ON SOME OF THESE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE ONES THAT ARE IN THE BACKYARDS.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE STAY OUT OF PEOPLE'S BACKYARDS ONCE WE, ONCE WE ENTER.

WE DON'T WANT TO CAUSE ANY MORE DIFFICULTIES TO THE RESIDENTS.

WHAT WAS THE WORK WE JUST DID ON SWIFT, THAT MAN'S BACKYARD? THAT WAS LINDEN LANE. THAT WAS AN EMERGENCY REPAIR.

YEAH, BUT WE DID SOMETHING ON SWIFT. SO WE FINALLY GOT THE ISSUES WITH LINDEN STRAIGHTENED OUT WHERE THERE WAS A PRETTY BIG PROBLEM BACK THERE. YEAH. ALL THAT'S ALL THAT'S BEEN DONE.

SWIFT. [INAUDIBLE]. ENGLEWOOD. THAT WAS [INAUDIBLE].

ENGLEWOOD. YEAH. YEAH, THAT WAS A REPAIR, BASICALLY.

YEAH. AND SO YOU CAN SEE, I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU ALL PLENTY OF INFORMATION SO YOU CAN SEE HOW WE CAME UP WITH THE COST.

OR YOU CAN ALSO USE THESE EXHIBITS TO TALK TO THE PUBLIC OR WHATEVER Y'ALL WANT TO DO.

AS FAR AS TRYING TO NARROW DOWN WHAT YOU WANT TO INCLUDE AND WHAT YOU DON'T WANT TO INCLUDE, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I GAVE YOU THE BEST AVAILABLE INFORMATION AND THE BEST PRODUCT WHERE YOU CAN GO IN AND ADDRESS THESE WITH YOUR CONSTITUENTS.

I'M HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. I'M REALLY NOT LOOKING FOR ANY DIRECTION TONIGHT.

I JUST KNOW THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT OVERLAYS.

I WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU ALL HAD THIS INFORMATION AS WELL.

AND I'M HERE TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS ANYBODY MAY HAVE ON THIS.

[INAUDIBLE] I THOUGHT WE CLEARED THAT UP A COUPLE MEETINGS AGO ABOUT HIM DOING THAT PART.

HECTOR DID TELL ME ABOUT THAT. I SAW THAT. I DIDN'T PULL THAT OUT.

SO I WILL PULL THAT OUT. OKAY. I JUST JUST FOR THE RECORD, I DON'T WANT OUR CONSTITUENTS THINKING THEY'RE PAYING FOR THAT WHEN THAT DEVELOPER IS ALREADY ON THE RECORD SAYING HE'S PAYING FOR THAT PORTION.

YES. HIS RESIDENTS WANT ACCESS TO THAT SIDE OF TOWN EASILY.

HE CAN PAY FOR IT. AND THAT WAS THE AUGUST 11TH, 2026 MEETING.

[01:00:08]

SO GOOD, KEN. GOOD CATCH. BLAINE. I JUST WANT TO.

I KNOW WE'RE VERY PRELIMINARY. WE'VE GOT MULTIPLE FACTORS TO CONSIDER.

WHAT IS HOW FAR ARE WE GOING TO EXTEND, YOU KNOW, THE POTENTIAL DEBT AND OF COURSE WHAT EFFECTS THAT WOULD HAVE ON ANY TAX.

BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING, I FEEL LIKE THERE'S SOME REALLY GOOD OPTIONS IN HERE.

AND JUST MY THOUGHT, SINCE WE'RE KIND OF SO FAR OUT, WE HAVEN'T REALLY, AND I'M NOT PICKING A PARTICULAR ONE, BUT MY THOUGHT WOULD BE TO AS MUCH DRAINAGE AND CONCRETE AND DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE CITY NOT TO CONCENTRATE JUST IN ONE PART OF THE CITY, BUT THERE BE OPPORTUNITIES TOO.

THAT WAY THE PEOPLE WHO GAIN THE BENEFITS. BECAUSE EVEN IN A SMALL CITY LIKE OURSELVES, IF YOU LIVE ON ONE SIDE OF TOWN, THAT'S THE SIDE THAT YOU MOSTLY TRAVERSE. YOU KNOW, VICE VICE VERSA.

SO BUILDING A NICE ROAD ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN MAY NOT BE A ROAD YOU CROSS ONCE A YEAR, MAY NOT HAVE MUCH OF AN IMPACT ON YOU. SO ANYWAY, JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

AS WE MOVE FORWARD, I WANT TO CAVEAT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY KNOWS THE, THE ASSUMPTION IS, IS THAT WE HAVE THE DEPTHS TO CONNECT TO THE CITY SYSTEMS AND SOME OF THESE PLACES.

YOU KNOW, WHEN WE DID PARISH STREET, THAT WAS A REAL DIFFICULT TIME BECAUSE THERE WASN'T ENOUGH DEPTH, RIGHT? SO AGAIN, A LOT OF THESE OLDER SYSTEMS ARE EXTREMELY SHALLOW.

SO WE'RE MAKING THE ASSUMPTION THAT WE HAVE THE DEPTH TO GO INTO IT.

SO WHEN WE DO A SURVEY, IT MAY CHANGE. WE MAY HAVE TO CHANGE SOME OF THESE PIPE SIZES OR SOME SOME OTHER THING.

BUT WE KIND OF ACCOUNTED FOR THEM WITH OUR PIPE IN HERE IN THIS ESTIMATE, WHICH ARE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN YOUR REGULAR PIPE.

SO WE TRY TO BE VERY ACTIVE ON WHAT WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE, JUST SIMPLY FROM OUR EXPERIENCE ON, ON PARISH STREET, IT WAS THE PIPE HAD TO BE USED.

THERE WAS NO WAY TO DO IT WITH [INAUDIBLE] AND AGAIN, THIS IS JUST TO KIND OF GET THE CONVERSATION STARTED AND PROVIDE YOU ALL THAT INFORMATION.

I THINK ONE OF THE ONES THAT NEEDS TO BE IN THE MIX WITH THE, WITH THE CONCRETE WITH THE CONCRETE ROADS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING BECAUSE I DO AGREE THAT THAT IS WE'RE BONDING, PROBABLY NEED TO BE GOING FOR THE CONCRETE CURB AND GUTTER ONES BECAUSE THAT'S I'M WITH YOU ON IT.

I WORRY THAT IF YOU ADVERTISE ASPHALT, JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE.

I THINK THERE IS ONE THAT WE NEED TO DO IN ASPHALT.

I'M NOT. YEAH, BUT JUST GENERAL, I AGREE WITH YOU. THE WARREN STREET ONE I THINK IS IMPORTANT.

HAS AN ASPHALT OR AS A AS AN AS AN ASPHALT. SEE, I WAS LOOKING FOR CONCRETE ON THAT ONE, I WOULD SAY.

AND THAT'S QUITE, IT'S MUCH BIGGER. IT'S TYING INTO A BUNCH OF CONCRETE, I MEAN INTO A BUNCH ASPHALT ROAD.

I UNDERSTAND. SO MY ONLY THING ON WARREN, IF THAT'S SOMETHING WE WERE INTERESTED IN, IS IT IS A FEEDER INTO THE TOWN THAT I DO BELIEVE. TIES INTO ASPHALT ROAD. I UNDERSTAND, BUT ANYWAY, THAT'S JUST MY OPINION.

IF THEY HAD DONE 274 IN CONCRETE, I'D BE IN COMPLETE AGREEMENT.

BUT THEY DIDN'T. RAYBURN RIDGE IN 2024, WE DID DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT PRIORITIES AND FLOOD PRONE AREAS FOR ABLC AND THERE'S ENGINEERING STUFF. THAT'S THE DRAINAGE AREA. SO CAN ANY OF THIS, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST THAT COULD PREVENT US FROM HAVING TO SPEND MORE MONEY IN STUDYING IT, SINCE WE'VE DONE THAT? THAT'S A VERY CONCEPTUAL THAT'S CALLED A RATIONAL METHOD.

AND WE USE THAT TO CREATE THIS. SO THE THING THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO OFFSET IS, IS, LIKE I SAID, THE, THE WATER, THE TIMING OF THE WATER GETTING INTO THE DITCH IS DRASTICALLY DECREASED WHEN YOU PUT IN AN EFFICIENT SYSTEM.

[01:05:08]

SO IT JUST KIND OF SLOWLY MOVES. YOU PUT A PIPE IN, YOU HAVE LESS VOLUME, BUT YOUR EFFICIENCY IS WAY BETTER.

SO IT'S MOVING THE WATER MUCH, MUCH FASTER. SO YOU'RE MOVING MORE WATER.

NOW SAY FOR RAVEN RIDGE, YOU DON'T HAVE A DITCH, YOU DON'T HAVE PIPE, YOU HAVE GUTTERS.

THAT KIND OF SITS HOLDS UNTIL JUST METERS OUT.

SO IT'S GOING TO BE A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IF WE WERE TO DROP STORM SURGES INTO IT.

OKAY. I TRIED. AND ANGLETON DRAINAGE DISTRICT WILL MAKE YOU WILL MAKE YOU DO MITIGATION FOR YOU.

MAYBE THEY MAY HAVE SOME PREVIOUS MITIGATION ALREADY DONE.

AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN ASK THEM. MAYBE THEY HAVE A DETENTION REGIONAL DETENTION BASIN.

MAYBE WE CAN WORK WITH THEM OR GETTING THAT. I MEAN, THERE'S, THERE'S THINGS THAT WE CAN LOOK AT.

AGAIN, THIS IS JUST THE START OF THE CONVERSATION.

I DIDN'T WANT TO JUMP TOO FAR AHEAD AND SPEND MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN INTERESTED IN.

THANK YOU. I DROVE IT THE OTHER DAY LOOKING AT THE ELEVATIONS IN THE BACK OF THAT CUL, IN THE BACK OF BOTH OF THOSE CUL DE SACS.

AND THEN I WALKED IT TO A HOSPITAL DRIVE AND THERE IS NOT A LOT OF FALL THERE. NO, NO, THAT'S DEFINITELY AN AREA THAT HAS TO PROBABLY BE ADDRESSED AT SOME POINT.

YEAH. I MEAN, IT'S JUST YEAH, IT PUDDLES RIGHT THERE AT THE T WHERE RICHLAND AND RAYBURN MEET ALL OF THE THESE HOUSES RIGHT HERE.

IT JUST. WHEN IT RAINS, IT JUST SITS THERE FOR FOREVER.

YOU'VE GOT A, YOU'VE GOT A ASPHALT DAM RIGHT THERE AT THAT CONCRETE.

YEAH. YEAH. AND WHEN YOU PUT THAT, THAT SYSTEM, PUT THAT DEVELOPMENT IN THESE [INAUDIBLE] BACK HERE IN ANGLETON, THERE WAS ZERO. ZERO DRAINAGE. THERE'S ABOUT WHAT, 4 OR 5? YEAH. YEAH. THAT ARE THE SAME WAY IT WAS 4 OR 5 ARE THE ONES THAT WE KEEP EXPERIENCING THIS TYPE OF FLOODING. IT DOESN'T GET INTO THE HOUSES. IT WORKS LIKE IT'S DESIGNED.

IT'S NOT STRUCTURAL FLOODING, BUT IT IS NUISANCE FLOODING.

THERE'S A FAIRLY NICE HOUSE ON THE LEFT SIDE WHEN YOU COME IN THAT'S GOT SOME HEAVY ROAD, HEAVY ROAD BUCKLING.

IT'S DEFINITELY ON TOP OF THE LIST FOR ME OR UP TO THE TOP OF THE LIST, BUT THERE'S THE OTHER ROADS TO CONSIDER.

SO THIS IS A DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION. WE DON'T HAVE TO TAKE ANY ACTION.

I JUST WANT TO GET THAT TO EVERYBODY. DO YOU.

I WOULD. I KNOW IT'S NOT AN ACTION. I GUESS I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'D CALL IT, BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE US REVISIT THIS IN PROBABLY THE NEAR FUTURE.

MAKE SURE THE MAYOR'S PRESENT. I DO BELIEVE IF THERE'S ANY POTENTIAL BOND THEN I THINK DECISIONS WILL HAVE TO BE MADE AND IN THE NEAR FUTURE, AND IT'LL GET ON US FASTER THAN WE REALIZE.

I THINK NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER KIND OF FLY BY.

AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, YOU'RE IN A NEW YEAR. YEAH, BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE ONE MEETING. YEAH. THE NEXT MEETING MAY BE THE MEETING OF ROADS. SO I'M JUST LETTING YOU, I'M JUST SAYING WE HAVE TO MAKE SOME DECISIONS.

PROBABLY NOVEMBER, DECEMBER. I THINK WE ONLY HAVE ONE MEETING EACH MONTH.

IF WE'RE GOING TO BE DISCUSSING THAT, WE PROBABLY NEED TO MAKE SURE SUSIE'S HERE.

I KNOW SHE'S ON HER ONE VACATION AND THE LAST DECADE.

RIGHT NOW I BET YOU. OH YEAH. OH, I KNOW, I HOPE SHE'S GOT BETTER THINGS TO DO.

AND DESIREE, FOR US TO PUT SOMETHING ON THE BALLOT FOR MAY, IS OUR DEADLINE THE SAME AS THE SIGNING UP FOR COUNCIL DEADLINE IN FEBRUARY OR? FOR THE BOND? I WOULD HAVE TO GET THAT DATE FOR YOU, BUT I CAN GET IT FOR YOU. THAT'D BE PROBABLY SOMETHING WE NEED TO KNOW TOO, IS WE NEED TO START KNOWING SOME DATES.

[01:10:06]

BUT THAT. AGAIN, AS COUNCIL COUNCIL MEMBER SMITH STATED, I MEAN, YOU'RE ONLY ONE, ONE MEETING IN NOVEMBER, ONE MEETING IN DECEMBER. THAT MEANS ONLY FOUR MORE AT THE END OF THIS YEAR. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT MAYBE A TWO IN JANUARY AND THEN YOU HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION.

SO PLUS, I'M SURE WE'RE GOING TO WANT SOME SORT OF WAY TO SOLICIT FEEDBACK FROM OUR CITIZENS.

IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO DO, SOME SORT OF TOWN HALL OR SOME WAY, WHATEVER WE DECIDE. SO WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME IF WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS IN MAY.

BUT I'M GLAD WE'RE STARTING NOW. YEAH, WE'RE WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A PRIORITY. I'M GLAD WE'RE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION TONIGHT, BUT WE NEED TO KEEP HAVING.

YEAH, IT'S PROBABLY SOMETHING WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT NOW.

LET ME PUT THIS BACK ON THE AGENDA FOR THE NEXT ONE.

EVERYBODY BACK HERE. YEAH. YES, PLEASE. THANK YOU.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. JOHN. ALL RIGHT.

NEXT ON THE AGENDA. COMMUNICATIONS FROM MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

[COMMUNICATIONS FROM MAYOR AND COUNCIL]

IT'S PRETTY QUIET FOR ONCE. IT'S FACE IS ON THE WATER TANK.

YEAH. BAD JOKE. DAD JOKE [LAUGHS]. ANYTHING? ANYBODY ELSE? I'D LIKE TO HAVE AN UPDATE AT THE NEXT MEETING ON WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE ANIMAL SHELTER.

TIMING. WHEN'S IT ALL GOING TO LOOK GOOD AND PRETTY AND REPAIRED? REPAIRED. I WILL STATE. THAT'S A TERRIBLE INTRODUCTION.

THANK YOU ALL TO THE RECEPTION AT THE CALMAC.

I THOUGHT Y'ALL DID A FANTASTIC JOB. THE FACILITY IN AND OF ITSELF IS SUPER IMPRESSIVE.

MARTHA, I GOT A LOT OF POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM TEAL AND THE CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HANDS ON YOUR WILLINGNESS TO HELP ON THAT PROJECT.

GREAT JOB. JUST A FANTASTIC. I HOPE IT'S AS FUNCTIONAL AS IT AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS.

SO I GUESS THAT'S REALLY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING LONG TERM AND HAS DURABILITY.

DURABILITY WOULD BE GOOD. BUT GOOD JOB. AND VERY EXCITED AND HAPPY THAT THE KING FAMILY WAS THERE.

KUDOS TO THE FAMILY AND THEIR SUPPORT. AND ANYWAY, SO I APPRECIATE THAT.

ANYTHING ELSE? AND A REMINDER, FRIDAY NIGHT CONCERT BY THE HEART TEJANO NIGHTS.

BOOTHS WILL BE SET UP FROM OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES.

AND WE HAVE RESTAURANTS DOWNTOWN YOU CAN EAT AT AND THERE'LL BE FOOD TRUCKS.

SO MAKE SURE YOU BRING YOUR FAMILY. GREAT IDEA.
