WE HAVE ACTUALLY A FAIRLY SHORT AGENDA THIS EVENING. OUR ACTION ITEMS ARE REALLY SHORT AND THEY'LL COME LATER IN THE ON THE EVENING, OF COURSE, BUT THE MAIN FOCUS OF TONIGHT'S AGENDA IS TO ITEMS ITEM A AND B. OUR AGENDA. THE FIRST ONE IS THE KNOXVILLE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL. THAT'S ACTUALLY THE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL FOR THE FOUGHT, UM, FOUGHT PROPERTY, OF WHICH WE HAVE SEVERAL MEMBERS, OWNERS OF THE FAMILY HERE. AND THE KNOX PROPERTY IS THE ONE TO THE SOUTH OF IT. WE HAVE THE DEVELOPER WHO'S DEVELOPED ATTEMPTING TO DEVELOP THE KNOX PROPERTY AND THEN HAS A PROPOSAL FOR THE FOUGHT PROPERTY, SO WE'RE GOING TO GIVE THEM A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO WE'VE WE'VE HEARD ABOUT THIS PROJECT BEFORE. WE'RE GIVING A LITTLE TIME TO RESPOND TO THE THINGS THAT WE'VE ASKED FOR THINGS THAT RESIDENTS HAVE ASKED FOR AND SEE IF THEIR PROPOSAL IS MEETS THE CONCERNS OF THE OF THE TOWN.

TO THE PROJECT RIGHT AFTER IT'S PRESENTED IN THAT WAY, WE CAN GET SOME SOME SOME FOLKS TO RESPOND AS WELL, BECAUSE I WORK FOR ALL OF YOU COUNSELORS. OKAY, SO WE'LL DO A THAN PUBLIC INPUT AND THEN WE'LL GO ON TO THE BUDGETS. ALL RIGHT. SO AT THIS TIME, MR CORN HOW WE'RE

[2.A. Knox/Faught Development Proposal]

[00:05:01]

THANK YOU. YOU LATER, A MAYOR. COUNCILLORS THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME TODAY. I APPRECIATE THAT. UM YOU EXPLAIN. KIND OF THE ONGOING SITUATION OF THE PROJECT AS IT IS TO DATE PRETTY WELL. I DO WANT TO GET INTO THE. ACCOMMODATIONS AND MY ATTEMPT TO ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS THAT WERE RAISED BY UH. SOME OF THE RESIDENTS AND, UM NEIGHBORS WITHIN NORTH LAKE AS WELL AS COUNSELORS. UM. BUT FIRST I'D LIKE TO JUST KIND OF GIVE A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF WHAT THE PROPOSAL IS FOR THE FOUGHT PROPERTY. UM WE ARE PROPOSING A, UH. MASTER PLANNED LOW DENSITY EQUESTRIAN DEVELOPMENT. WITH LOT SIZES RANGING FROM A MINIMUM OF ONE ACRE TO FIVE ACRES. AND APPROXIMATELY 10 TO 15 ACRE COMMERCIAL COMPONENT. THAT WOULD INCLUDE AN EVENT ARENA. AND, UH, OTHER EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES ON THIS 154 ACRE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT. SOME OF THE DESIGN STANDARDS FOR THAT DEVELOPMENT WOULD INCLUDE 20 TO 25 ACRES OF OPEN SPACE. AND, UH, THAT WOULD. HE MAINTAINED AND OWNED BY NATURE AWAY HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION. PART OF THE DESIGN STANDARDS FOR THAT DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE PERIMETER FENCING WITH UNIFORM RANCH STYLE FOUR FT. TALL FENCE AROUND THE PERIMETER. SUPPORT WITH STONE COLUMNS EVERY. SO OFTEN, WE'LL HAVE A DEFINED AMOUNT OF DISTANCE BETWEEN THOSE, UM.

TRAIL SPACES. WE WOULD INCLUDE TRAIL SPACES. ADJACENT TO ROBSON RANCH, ROAD FOUGHT ROAD AND PORTIONS OF EVELYN LANE. WITH AN EASEMENT FOR PUBLIC USE, AS IDENTIFIED ON THE CONCEPT PLAN. AND. WILL ALSO BE A COMMUNITY AMENITY PLAN THAT WOULD INCLUDE DETAILED PLANS FOR OPEN SPACE PERIMETER FENCING. ENTRY FEATURES AND. ALL THE NATURE TRAILS AND LANDSCAPING THAT WOULD BE PROVIDED WITHIN THAT PLAN DEVELOPMENT. THE DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE IS PROPOSED TO BE COMPRISED OF 60 SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL DETACHED HOMES. ON LOT SIZES RANGING FROM ONE ACRE TO FIVE ACRES, WITH THE MAJORITY OF LOTS BEING AROUND TWO ACRES. AND AGAIN, THERE WOULD BE A LIMITED COMMERCIAL COMPONENT THAT WOULD CONSIST OF THE EQUESTRIAN ARENA AND STABLES AND THAT THE QUESTION ARENA WOULD HAVE THE CAPACITY CAPABILITY TO HOLD EVENTS. MM. IN ADDITIONAL TO THE QUESTION, AND ADDITIONALLY, THERE WOULD BE A QUESTION FACILITIES THAT WOULD INCLUDE BARN STABLES, PADDOCKS AND ALL OF THAT WOULD BE OWNED AND MANAGED BY THE H O A. CAN YOU CLARIFY, SAID PUBLIC? UM SO IS THAT RENTABLE SPACE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC KIND OF THING. IS THAT IT? WHO'S WHO'S RENTING THAT HE WAS MANAGING THAT? I WOULD, I WOULD SAY, WELL, THERE WOULD BE AN H O A OWNED COMPONENT. AND THEN THERE WAS THE COMMERCIAL COMPONENT THAT WOULD BE. YOU COULD HAVE OFF SITE RENTALS OF THAT FACILITY. YEAH. THANK YOU. SO THAT'S JUST A QUICK OVERVIEW OF WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING THERE FOR THE THOUGHT DEVELOPMENT AND. IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S IN LINE WITH WITH WHAT COUNSEL WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEN I CAN PROVIDE MUCH MORE DETAIL. GOING FORWARD ON ON THAT CONCEPT AS WELL.

MHM. THE CONCEPT THAT WE HAVE UP THERE. I CAN. I CAN MAYBE GO TO THAT NOW TO TALK ABOUT. SOME OF THE. WAYS. I'VE TRIED TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS OF COUNCIL AND OTHER HOMEOWNERS AND

[00:10:09]

CURRENTLY IT'S A GRAVEL ROAD. AND WE WOULD CURVE THAT DOWN AND CONNECT IT TO OLD JUSTIN.

AND THEN EXPAND THAT ROAD OUT, PAVE IT WITH CONCRETE SEVEN INCH CONCRETE. AND IT WOULD BE A COLLECTOR ROADS SO WOULD HAVE A MUCH WIDER PATH AND IT CURRENTLY THAN EITHER OLD JUSTIN OR ANY OF THE OTHER SURROUNDING ROADS AROUND THERE. EXCEPT FOR CARPENTER ROAD, WHICH IS IN THE EXISTING CREEK MEADOWS. AND SO THE THIRD POINT THERE WAS JUST MY WILLINGNESS TO AGREE TO CONSTRUCT THAT AND GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF DESIGNING THAT AND CONSTRUCTING THAT EVELYN LANE CONNECTOR. A COUPLE OF OTHER POINTS AS FAR AS THE LAYOUT WITHIN FOUGHT ROAD THERE WAS. SOME CONCERN ABOUT HAVING LOTS FRONTING ON THOUGHT ROAD AND HAVING HOMES TOO CLOSE TO FAULT ROAD. AND SO, WITH THIS DESIGN, I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO RING. ANY DEVELOPMENT OF THE HOUSE. SPECIFICALLY INTO THE INTERIOR OF THAT. PROPERTY. AND SO YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE'S A LARGE GREEN SPACE OF AREA ALONG FOUGHT ROAD TO THE WEST. AND IN THE CENTER OF THE PROPERTY. THERE'S A VERY LARGE EXPANSE WHERE THAT NATURAL GULLY CREEK BED RUNS THROUGH THE CENTER. AND THAT'S WHERE WE'RE PROPOSING TO HAVE A LOT OF A WIDENED AREA OF TRAIL SPACE. THAT KIND OF INTERCONNECT FROM. THE FAULT ROADSIDE AND GOES BACK TO THE WEST. AND CONNECTS WITH SOME TRAILS OVER THERE, AND EVENTUALLY, THEY WOULD ALL RUN. EITHER. WOULD RUN NORTH SOUTH AND NORTH SOUTH TRAIL WOULD CATCH THAT CENTER TRAIL.

AND SO ALMOST ALL OF THE LOTS COULD BE SERVED WITH BACKYARD ENTRANCES TO ACCESS THE TRAILS.

AND THAT WAS MY THAT WAS MY FIFTH POINT OF KIND OF THE ACCOMMODATIONS THAT I HAD MADE TO. ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS OF COUNCIL AND RESIDENTS. CAN I ASK YOU ABOUT THE TRAILS WHILE YOU'RE ON THAT? SO THE QUESTION CENTERS, ONE OF THE UNIQUE ASPECTS OF THIS PROPERTY, WHICH IS SOMETHING WE DO DESIRE TO HAVE OUR NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE SOME CHARACTER. ESPECIALLY TIED TO THE NATURE OF THE TOWN. UM THIS TRAIL SYSTEM OUTLINED HERE. NUMBER ONE IS THIS, UH, YOU KNOW, CAN HORSES USE THIS? WHAT KIND OF SURFACE WOULD IT BE? AND THEN SECOND I SEE THE SPUR THAT RUNS DOWN THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY DOWN FAT ROAD DOWN TO ALMOST EVELYN. AND THEN IT SORT OF LOOKS LIKE A DEAD ENDS. SO I'M CURIOUS. IS THAT GOING ANYWHERE? IS IT GOING TO WRAP THE PROPERTY? WHAT THAT MAIN LINE THAT RUNS DOWN THE ROAD? WHERE DOES THAT GO WITH? AFTER THAT POINT, I WOULD THINK THAT IT WOULD COME IN RIGHT THAT LOT THAT'S BEEN ENLARGED FOR THE EVELYN CONNECTOR TO KIND OF RUN DOWN TO THE SOUTH THERE THAT CURVE.

I WOULD CONSIDER THAT I WOULD THINK THAT TRAIL LINE WOULD CUT IN BETWEEN THOSE TWO LOTS AND COME BACK INTO THE PROPERTY. MHM. SO, REALLY, THERE'D BE A FEW LOTS THERE THAT WOULDN'T

[00:15:06]

FOR THE TRAIL AND THEN YES, THEY WOULD NEED TO BE FENCED. SO THAT WOULD BE A CONDITION OF THE. THE DEAL WITH THAT HOMEOWNER WITH THAT LOT OWNER TO HAVE THAT FENCE INSTALLED TO CREATE THEIR EDGE OF THE PERIMETER. THAT TRAIL. WOULD THERE BE TWO FENCES? EXTERIOR PROPERTY AND THEN THE PROPERTY OWNERS FENCE OR IS IT A SINGLE FENCE ON WHICH SIDE OF THE TRAIL IS THAT FENCE ON IF IT'S A SINGLE FENCE? THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE TWO FENCES AND, UM.

THINKING ABOUT FOUGHT ROAD. IF YOU WANT PUBLIC ACCESS TO THAT YOU MIGHT. WE HAVE TO LOOK AT HOW THAT WOULD ACTUALLY BE IMPLEMENTED ALONG FOUGHT ROAD. BUT I MEAN THE WAY I WOULD ENVISION IT IS TO HAVE KIND OF A CHANNEL THERE WHERE YOU HAVE A FENCE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TRAIL, AND THEN YOU KNOW THE HORSES WOULD BE ENCLOSED IN THAT AREA, SO TO SPEAK. AS THEY NAVIGATE THROUGH THE TRAIL SYSTEM. YEAH. DO YOU HAVE SOME MORE COUNCIL HEARD OF HIM? IT WOULD BE INCUMBENT UPON EACH INDIVIDUAL HOMEOWNER THEN TO BUILD THEIR OWN GATE TO ACCESS THAT TRAIL, RIGHT? YES, OKAY. OKAY, THAT'S ALL I GOT RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU. MM. UH, SENIOR PEOPLE. THE BOARD HOLD ON A SECOND. 39 TEST. JUST OKAY. HOLD IT EARNED. SO THE QUESTIONS CENTER YOU MENTIONED IT WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM. MAYBE A PRIVATE AND THEN I MHM.

COMMERCIAL CENTER, OR, UH, OUTSIDE CENTRE. IS THAT SOMETHING YOU'D ENVISION HAVING HORSE SHOWS AND THINGS LIKE THAT THERE WOULDN'T RODEO EVENTS EQUESTRIAN EVENTS COULD BE THAT AND PEOPLE WOULD COME IN FROM. OUTSIDE THE AREA FOR THOSE EVENTS, AND THAT WOULD BE THE COMMERCIAL COMPONENT THAT AND I GUESS THIS ANY STABLES OR FACILITIES THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO HOUSE THE HORSES. TO MAINTAIN THEM DURING THOSE EVENTS WOULD BE PART OF THAT COMMERCIAL COMPONENT, AND THAT WOULD BE SEPARATE FROM. THE THEY MAINTAINED STABLE FACILITIES. THAT WOULD BE JUST FOR THE RESIDENTS ONLY. SO HOW MANY TRIPLE PARKING PLACES WOULD YOU HAVE? BECAUSE YOU'RE WITH A TRAILER. FULL HORSES POSED A TRUCK. THAT'S A TRIPLE PARKING PLACE. SO HOW MANY. HOW MANY PARKING PLACES WOULD BE AVAILABLE BACK THERE THINKING ABOUT CONGESTION AND BACKING UP ON THE STREET AND ALL OF THOSE KIND OF THINGS. I DON'T HAVE A NUMBER FOR YOU, BUT I CAN I CAN WORK THAT UP. I'D BE INTERESTED IN THAT. BUT WHEN I WAS YOUNGER AND DUMBER AND FIGURED OUT, I COULD FINALLY FIGURED OUT I COULDN'T FOR THE FEED HORSES.

WE USED TO SHOW THEM SO KNOW WHAT ALL THAT CONGESTION BECOMES. YEAH. HAVE ANOTHER

[00:20:03]

YEAH, IT APPEARS TO BE A TRAIL THAT COMES DOWN THE LAST ONE. JUST ALL ALONG THE WESTERN PROPERTY LINE. YEAH. AT THE OUTSET, I'D SAY 20 FT. THANK YOU. KIND OF RELATED TO THE QUESTION, CENTER AND TRAILS. UM WELL, CONCERNS I HAVE WITH SOME OF THE LOTS BEING SMALLER, UM, AND WOKE UP. JUST SAY TWO ACRES ON AVERAGE. LIKE YOU SAID. UM. IF THERE IS A VERY LARGE HOME AND YOUR DOOR HOME, YOU SAID, YOU GUYS ARE LOOKING AT A VERY NICE HOMES ON THIS. AND YOU HAVE A MILLION DOLLAR HOME. YOU'RE GONNA WANNA $100,000 WORKSHOP. OR BARN OR SOMETHING ELSE ON THAT PROPERTY, AND NOW WE'RE DOWN TO ONE ACRE PER HOME OR PER BUILDING. WOULD YOU LOOK.

ANTICIPATE THAT ALL HORSES MUST BE STORED AT THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER AND THAT THERE WOULD BE NO OUTBUILDINGS ALLOWED. I COULD MAKE SOME KIND OF A. ACCOMMODATION THAT TO THAT BASED ON THE LOT SIZE, SO IF ON THE LARGER LOTS. I HAD ENVISIONED BEING ABLE TO HAVE A HORSE FACILITY ON YOUR OWN PROPERTY. BUT MAYBE THERE'S A CUT OFF POINT WITH LOT SIZE.

WHERE ANYTHING BELOW A CERTAIN SIZE, WE WOULDN'T ALLOW THE EXTRA THE OUTBUILDING AND THEN ANYTHING ABOVE. THAT WOULD BE OKAY. I APPRECIATE YOU LOOKING IN THERE BECAUSE WHAT? WHAT I FORESEE IS LOOKING OUT UPON THIS PROJECT. ROOFTOPS CREATING AN AVERAGE LOOK OF ONE HOME BREAKER AGAIN. IF YOU UNDERSTAND WHERE I'M COMING FROM I YOU PUT YOUR MATE ROOFTOPS, EVEN THOUGH IT'S A LARGER LOT, TOO MANY ROOFTOPS ON WHAT MAKES THEM LOOK LIKE SMALLER ONES. EXCUSE ME WHEN YOU SAY LARGER LOTS HAVING A HORSE ON THAT PROPERTY? WHAT SIZE LOTS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? UH HUH. WELL, THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT I GUESS WOULD BE OPEN FOR DISCUSSION. MY PROPOSAL IS TO HAVE BETWEEN ONE AND FIVE ACRE LOTS, WITH THE MAJORITY OF LOTS OF BEING RIGHT AROUND TWO ACRES. SO YOU'RE SAYING ANYTHING ABOVE TWO ACRES HAVING A HORSE ON IT? UH, NO, I WOULD. I WOULD CONSIDER A TWO ACRE LOT TO BE VIABLE TO HAVE, OF COURSE FACILITY ON IT. SO MAYBE. 1.5 ACRES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. MAYBE TWO ACRES IS LIMITED ANYTHING BELOW TWO ACRES YOU COULDN'T HAVE A FACILITY MAY BE ANYTHING ABOVE TWO ACRES. YOU COULD SOMETHING SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. SO EVEN IF YOU COUPLE THAT, SO THEY PUT UP A HORSE FACILITY. THERE COULD ALSO BE A WORKSHOP AS WELL. SO YOU JUST I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND BECAUSE YOU'RE LOOKING AT WAYS TO BRING THIS BEFORE COUNCIL WHERE I'M COMING FROM ON THAT. MINIMIZING THE NUMBER OF ROOFTOPS PER PER ACRE. WITH PROBABLY HELP SOME COUNSELORS. I KNOW IT WOULD AFFECT ME. BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN, YOU'RE TRYING AVOID THAT CIA ROOFTOPS IN AN AREA THAT IS WORLD IS ZONE FOR FIVE ACRES TODAY. AND WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, I JUST FROM MY OWN POINT OF VIEW. WE'VE HAD HORSES OUR ENTIRE LIVES. THEY'RE GOING TO EAT UP THAT BAKER AKER AND HAVE TWO ACRES. VERY QUICKLY AND YOU'RE GOING TO BASICALLY HAVE DIRT. I MEAN, SO THAT'S THE VISUAL WE'RE GOING TO SEE IS IF YOU'VE GOT HORSES ON TWO ACRES IN YOUR HOUSE IS ON A HALF ACRE THAT TWO ACRES IS GOING TO BASICALLY BE DIRT BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO EAT EVERYTHING INSIDE. JUST MOWERS. STAFF WHATEVER CURRENT REQUIREMENTS FOR HORSES AND OUTBUILDINGS, I THINK, NATHAN. CORRECT ME, BUT, UH, FIVE ACRE AND LARGER, THE OUTBUILDING. CAN EQUAL THE. SIZE OF THE RESIDENTS, BUT DOES THAT COVER AGRICULTURAL BUILDINGS AS WELL? AGRICULTURAL BUILDINGS ARE EXEMPT. UM. I'M NOT SURE ON ON OUR ANIMAL CONTROL ORDINANCE WHERE WE ARE ON THAT WE'D HAVE TO LOOK THAT UP. WE CAN GET THAT BACK TO YOU. MAYBE WE COULD LOOK THAT UP WHILE WE'RE. LOOKING AT OTHER TOPICS, SO YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME A AND M GUIDE AND SO ON TYPES OF ANIMALS AND ACREAGE, SIZES. I JUST DON'T KNOW THEM OFF TOP OF MY HEAD. YEAH. THIS IS KIND OF A IN YOUR LANE, BUT I SEE THE DIFFERENT

[00:25:11]

THINK. ON THESE. THE INTENTION WOULD BE TO HAVE ANY FACILITIES OR SECONDARY BUILDINGS BEHIND THE MAIN RESIDENCE. SO ON A SMALLER LOT, YOU MIGHT BE LIMITED TO THAT MIGHT TAKE CARE OF ITSELF AS FAR AS HAVING THE ADDITIONAL BUILDING. ON A SMALLER LOT. THERE MAY NOT BE ROOM FOR IT. I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE SEEN AT OTHER QUESTION AND RELATED FACILITIES.

IS THAT GENERALLY HAVING A QUESTION CENTER BRINGS ALL THAT ADDITIONAL BUILDING TO THE CENTER. AND LIMITS HOW MUCH BUILDING IS ON THE LAND, SO IT PRESENTS MORE OF A FARM ENVIRONMENTAL RURAL ENVIRONMENT. UM, AND THAT'S. I'LL STOP HARPING ON THE SUBJECT BECAUSE I THINK YOU GET IT BY NOW. BUT WHAT I THINK I'D LIKE TO SEE FOR THIS IS A THOUGHTFUL LIST OF DEED RESTRICTIONS FROM YOU WHEN YOU COME TO PRESENT. THAT ENCOMPASSES SOME OF THESE IDEAS.

DO YOU THINK? COUNSELORS. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE FAMILY TONIGHT? OR IS ANY OF THE FAMILY WISH TO SPEAK ON THE TOPIC OF THE PROJECT? DON'T HAVE TO. BUT UP TO YOU. RIGHT? WHAT SLEEP. INTRODUCE YOURSELF FOR THE RECORD IF YOU DON'T MIND AND THEN, UH, FEEL FREE TO TAKE A MINUTE TO THANK YOU FOR COUNSEL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE, ARENA. GOOD TO SEE YOU. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME. KEN JONES. YES I DID HAVE A QUESTION LOOKING AT THE LOCATION MAP HERE. THAT IS IN YOUR COUNCIL PACKET. MY QUESTION WAS WIRE ONLY THESE THREE PLACES LISTED, BUT NONE OF THE OTHER PROPERTY OWNERS ARE LISTED ON HERE. THERE'S A BRIAN'S PLACE, WHICH I ASSUME. NO NO, NO, THAT'S ACTUALLY THE NAME OF THE DEVELOPMENT. OKAY THAT JUST HAPPENED. CHANCE WHY THEY DIDN'T HAVE ALL THE OTHERS LISTED ON HERE. I WAS, YOU KNOW, HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THAT. I'M SORRY, SIR. I DIDN'T CATCH YOUR NAME. MY NAME IS SHANNON JOHNSON. ANSWER. THAT QUESTION IS, THESE WERE JUST, UH, PLANTED NEIGHBORHOODS, THE OTHERS OR LARGE TRACTS, SO JUST TO HELP COUNSEL. UNDERSTAND WHERE IT IS. THAT WAS A PRETTY SMALL MATTER. ONE LARGE EDGES ON THAT, SO IT WAS JUST TO HELP THEM TO IDENTIFY WHERE RIGHT THING WAS LOOKING AT THIS. I WAS WONDERING WHY THERE WAS ONLY THREE LISTED AND BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE ONLY PLANTED RIGHT. OKAY, THAT ANSWERS MY QUESTION. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. SO I THINK WE MAY HAVE A FEW FOLKS THAT WANT TO SPEAK ON THIS TOPIC TONIGHT SO WE CAN GO INTO PUBLIC COMMENT, BUT I WANT TO LEAVE OPPORTUNITY FOR COUNSELORS. IF DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO DISCUSS OR ASK? AT THIS TIME. WE'VE ALREADY ASKED SOME QUESTIONS MADE SOME STATEMENTS. YOU KNOW WHERE MISTER GERMANY'S UM. MR JONES. WHAT PROPERTY DO YOU LIVE? ANSWER FOR THE RECORD. THAT'S ACTUALLY OKAY? VERY GOOD. THANK YOU, SIR. ALL RIGHT. I'VE GOT A COUPLE FOR PUBLIC INPUT TONIGHT. UM, ARE WE READY TO GO TO THAT? OR DO WE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? QUICK QUESTION REGARDING OUR ZONING. AND. THE AG BUILDINGS EXEMPT OVER FIVE ACRES DREW IS THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE EXEMPTION OF AGRICULTURE, BUT THAT'S OVER FIVE IS NOT IS IT NOT? FOUR NIGHTS. SIZE OF. OKAY, ANY IN ANY DISTRICT? ONCE IN ANY DISTRICT. YEAH, AG. EXCLUSIVE AG BUILDINGS ARE EXEMPT FROM THE SIZE LIMITATION. FOR REAL ESTATE, REAL RESIDENTIAL ACROSS THE BOARD ACROSS THE BOARD

[00:30:06]

PRIMARY STRUCTURE IS A LIMITATION. AND. BUT BELOW THAT IT'S. OR, YOU KNOW, IT'S 100% OF THE PRIMARY BUILDING. THAN ANY LOTS BELOW THAT IS 50% IN THE MAX OF TWO BUILDINGS. BUT ANY AG USES USES ARE EXEMPT FROM THOSE RITES UNLESS THERE'S A PLAN DEVELOPMENT DIFFERENT EXIT FURTHER, BUT JUST OUR BASE, ARI AND OUR ZONING IS AS AS HE MENTIONED. THANK YOU.

OKAY? THE PRICE FOR THE. USE. 18 97 OR WAS IT WAS THAT WHEN WE CODIFIED STOP. YEAH, I THINK WITH 93. THEN IT WAS CODIFIED IN 97. IN ANY OTHER ZONING CHANGES IN THAT AREA. UH START START. THIS RANCH WAS, UH, REZONED. UM. MY VIEW IS TO BE FOUND THERE WAS E T. J CREEK METALS. DJ A. KNOX IS A T. J UM OTHER HIGHLANDS WAS E T. J. UNTIL MANY REZONE OF PURE REZONING WOULD START THIS RANCH WOULD. NO, NO IN THAT IN THAT AREA OFF OF OUR ROAD THAT WAS PART OF PART OF THE TOWN AND REZONED. UH, YES. YOU COULD POTENTIALLY SAY THE RIDGE, BUT IT'S A KIND OF STRETCH AND DISTANCE. WELL, OF COURSE, THE RIDGE PECAN SQUARE AND CANYON FALLS WERE REZONED BUT THROUGH AN MPD THROUGH THE MASTER, THE COMP PLANS UM NEIGHBORHOOD ZONE. YES. ALL RIGHT, COUNSELORS. DO YOU HAVE AND WE CAN YOU KNOW WHEN WE GO IN THE BACK IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTION QUESTION COUNSEL QUESTIONS FOR COUNCIL. AROUND THE NEGOTIATION. IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN'T DISCUSS HERE AT THE MOMENT, LEGAL ASPECTS OR NEGOTIATIONS, WE CAN TAKE THOSE BACK LATER. BUT THE GOAL HERE IS TO GET CLEAR AND CONCISE FEEDBACK TO THEM AS TO WHETHER OR NOT YOU'RE WILLING TO ENTERTAIN. THE PROJECT HAS PROPOSED OR. YOU KNOW, MOVE ON FROM IT, SO THIS IS OUR OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE SOME DIRECT FEEDBACK ON THE PROJECT. THERE'S A COUPLE OTHER THINGS THAT WE DIDN'T COVER TONIGHT THAT ARE IN THE. PROPOSAL THAT ARE OF BENEFIT TO THE TOWN. SO I'LL MENTION THOSE, UM WE ARE UNDER RECONSTRUCTION FOR FAT ROAD FROM OLD JUSTIN TO ROBSON RANCH IS A VERY EXPENSIVE PROJECT. THIS WOULD BENEFIT FROM FROM THAT AS WELL AS CONTRIBUTE TO IT. THE ANNEXATION OF THE KNOX PROPERTY TO BRING IT INTO THE TOWN WOULD BRING THE CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS TO THE TOWN TO PAY FOR THEIR ROADS AND POLICE SERVICES THAT THEY'LL BENEFIT FROM THAT THEY WOULDN'T OTHERWISE CONTRIBUTE TO THE THERE'S AN AGREEMENT THAT WAS PART OF THE AGREEMENT. THE TOWN IS NEGOTIATED THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE WATER LINE. EXTENSION FROM EXCUSE ME. HOLD JUSTIN ROAD. UP TO ROBSON RANCH AND OVER TO STARDUST'S COMPLETING THE LOOP. THERE'S THE WATERLINE CURRENTLY RUNS UP FLORENCE AND IN ORDER TO SECURE THE SUPPLIES.

WE NEED TO LOOP THAT AT SOME POINT, SO IT'S A PROJECT THAT WOULD GET FUNDED BY THIS. AND I'M MISSING ANY OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE. SO THE EVELYN LANE RECONSTRUCTION IS PART OF IT. AND REALIGNMENT, WHICH WAS MENTIONED ALREADY. WAS THERE ANYTHING ELSE, ESPECIALLY WITH REGARD TO THE DOCUMENT THAT WE'VE BEEN GIVEN? THERE ARE SOME THERE IS MENTION OF MM. ON THE FIRST PAGE ABOUT THE FOURTH OR FIFTH PARAGRAPH AS AN ACCOMMODATION TO NORTH LIKE MY PROPOSAL INCLUDES ANNEXATION OF THE KNOX PROPERTY INTO THE TOWN, THE TOWN WOULD AGREE TO OFFSET WHAT INCLUDES WAIVERS AND CREDITS FOR INSPECTION PERMIT AND IMPACT. THESE. IF WE CAN ADDRESS THAT AT ALL IN OPEN SESSION, COULD WE GET DOWN TO EXACTLY WHAT THOSE NUMBERS ARE? IF WE CAN'T UNDERSTAND WE CAN ADDRESS AN EXECUTIVE SESSION, BUT I'D LIKE TO MAKE AS MUCH PUBLIC AS WE CAN SO THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON. IF YOU DON'T MIND. YEP, I BELIEVE WE CAN. YEAH PULL THOSE NUMBERS UP. I DON'T HAVE THEM TOP MY HEAD. BUT IN THEORY, THE.

ACCOMMODATION WOULD BE FOR THOUGHT THE WAIVER OF. UH, ROAD IMPACT FEES. UM FAN WATER IMPACTS EASIER TO BE NO SUPER TO THIS PROPERTY. ON THE KNOX PROPERTY, THE WAIVER OF WATER

[00:35:04]

IT'S ONE ACRE ORIGINALLY, MR BROADWAY CAME FORWARD WITH 80 LOTS TO PUT ON 150 ACRES. SO ACTUALLY LARGER LOTS ON ON A LARGER PIECE OF PROPERTY BUT STILL WELL BELOW THE EXISTING ZONING, SO THE GOAL WAS MHM. PRIMARILY WAS TO GET KNOCKS INTO THE TOWN. BRINGING THE A T J INTO THE TOWN LIMITS. UM WE. I THINK THE BASE ZONING AS WOULD BE ACCOMMODATE 30. LOTS.

UH, 30. LOTS. UM. THE MARKET. THERE IS A MARKET VERY SMALL MARKET. VERY SLOW MARKET. THE.

THE DEVELOPER CAME BACK WITH 60 LOTS. SO 60 LOTS IS KIND OF THE. COMPROMISE POSITION, BUT THERE IS A LOSS OF 20 LOTS, AND THERE'S A VALUE IN THOSE LOTS OF. YOU KNOW 11.5 TO $2 MILLION, AND SO. TO GO DOWN AND WEAK. OBVIOUSLY COUNCIL HAS A DIFFERENT OPINIONS ON, UM. WHAT LAUNCHES ARE ELIGIBLE. I'M JUST TELLING YOU, THE CANADA. TRAIN OF HOW WE'VE GOTTEN HERE. SO THE AND FOR THE LOSS OF. UH THOSE 20 LOTS THE TOWN WOULD WAVE KIND OF IDI. DON CASH. UH, ACCOMMODATION. ANY KIND OF WAIVER. THERE'D BE NO CASH FROM THE TOWN. TO THE DEVELOPER, BUT THERE WOULD BE A WAIVER OF AMOUNT OF MONEY NOW, ONE THING I'VE MADE CLEAR AND THAT I'VE HEARD FROM COUNCIL IS. WE'RE NOT GOING BEYOND WHAT WE CAN WAVE AND WE'RE GOING TO COVER OUR BUILDING INSPECTION FEES. SO THERE IS A CAP ON WHAT THE TOWN WILL GIVE BECAUSE THAT THE INSTRUCTIONS FROM COUNCIL ARE VERY CLEAR. THE TOURS IS IN OUR. HAVE TO BE USED FOR BUILDING PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT THE DEVELOPER WILL BE BUILDING PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE. THE EVELYN CONNECTION AND THE OVER SIZING OF THE WATERLINE. THOSE WILL BE. THOSE WILL BE FINANCING THE TOURS. THERE'LL BE NO ADDITIONAL TAXES ON THESE RESIDENTS. UH IF KNOX COMES IN AND FOUGHT. THERE, THEY'LL PAY THEIR REGULAR TAX RATE, BUT THAT TRES WILL. THE PUBLIC TAX MONEY THAT WILL GO TOWARDS PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. AND THEN I WENT BRIEFLY OVER THE. WAIVERS OF THE VARIOUS FEES. BUT IN GENERAL. AND I GUESS THE UNSPOKEN THING IS OBVIOUSLY THE MORE. LOTS THE MORE VALUE THIS PROPERTY HAS, AND ULTIMATELY IT ENDS. THAT VALUE ENDS UP WITH

[00:40:06]

BUT THERE AND WHEN WE GO THROUGH OUR PROGRAM BUDGETS, I'LL SHOW YOU HOW THEIR TAX DOLLARS ARE DIVIDED UP, BUT THEY GO TO PAY TO FOR ALL THE SERVICES. UM. INSTEAD OF ISSUING INSTEAD OF ISSUING DEAD INSTEAD OF ISSUING CEOS, INSTEAD OF DOING CAPITAL PROJECT IN DOING THIS PROJECT, WE GET THE DEVELOPER TO DO IT AND THE ACTUAL TAXPAYERS SO.

CURRENTLY ALL TEXT BUT WELL IN, FOR EXAMPLE, THE IN CANYON FALLS. THEY'RE ONLY PAYING A PORTION OF THEIR 10 9 CENTS OF THEIR TAXES OF THE 29 A HALF CENTS GO TO THAT TRAIL SYSTEM, BUT IT'S A IT'S A LONGER TERM. UM. HERS SO THAT IT WAS A LESS OF A PROPORTION, SO I YOU KNOW, I'LL TAKE DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL. WE'LL TALK TO THE DEVELOPER. UH, BUT IF YOU WANT A PERCENTAGE, UM. WE CAN DO THAT. IF YOU WANTED TO PAY OFF FAST. YOU CAN. WE'RE TALKING, UM YOU KNOW, UM. MAYBE SHE CAN, PLUS 7100 AND 23 HOUSES. LET ME TRY TO SUMMARIZE THIS. SO ONE THE TERMS OF SIZE TO THE COST THE INFRASTRUCTURE PERIOD. RIGHT SO IT'S WHATEVER THE COSTS. THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS DIVIDED BY THE REVENUE WE GET. SO YOU CAN PUT IT AS LONG AS YOU WANT. RELATIVELY SPEAKING, UM, AS MUCH AS YOU NEED TO PAY IT. THE BENEFIT TO THE TOWN TO ME IS NOT SO MUCH EVELYN. THERE'S SOME BENEFIT TO ALIGNING EVELYN PAVING IT IS REALLY OF SERVICE TO THOUGHT AND KNOCKS PROPERTY OWNERS IN MY MIND. ALTHOUGH IT'S A PUBLIC ROAD THAT IF ANYBODY'S GOING BACK THAT WAY, WHICH IS PRETTY LIMITED, BUT THE KEY BENEFIT TO THE TOWN IS THE WATER LINE BECAUSE THE WATER LINE SERVES TODAY SERVES EVERYBODY IN PRAIRIE VIEW BY THAT VERY, VERY SERVES, UM NORTHRIDGE. FLORENCE ROAD AND STARDUST. SO EVERYONE ON THAT DEAD END IF THERE'S ANY IMPACT OF THAT WATER LINE, IT GOES DOWN. ONCE WE LOOP IT, IT PROVIDES SECURITY TO THE WATER SYSTEM FOR ALL OF THOSE FOLKS ON FLORENCE. AND START US.

THAT'S TO ME. THAT'S THE KEY VALUE OF THE WATER LINE, AND THAT'S THE VALUE OF THE WATERLINE. WATERLINE CAN BE PAID FOR THE GENERAL FUND AT SOME POINT, UM, BUT THIS IS A WAY TO GET IT DONE WITHOUT HAVING TO DIP INTO OTHER FUNDS TO GET IT DONE. IT'S ACCELERATING OUR BUILD OUT OF THE WATER SYSTEM. THAT TO ME IS THE ONE THE ONE KEY BENEFIT THAT'S OUTSIDE. THE OTHER. EVELYN LIKE I SAID, IS, I THINK SOMETHING THAT BENEFITS MORE THE PROPERTY OWNERS SO THAT ONE'S NOT AS BIG A CONTRIBUTION TO THE OVERALL TOWN. QUICK QUESTION ON THAT IF YOU DON'T MIND WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH EVELYN. IF. THIS ISN'T AGREED.

IF THERE'S NO REALIGNMENT, WHAT BECOMES OF EVELYN? STATES RIGHT. IT WILL STAY IN ITS CURRENT CURRENT FORM. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO END THEIR IN THEIR ORIGINAL PROPOSAL FOR KNOX. THEY THEY DON'T ACCESS. UM THEY DON'T ACCESS EVELYN. AND IT WILL BE IN THE T. J B. A. UH GATED COMMUNITY AND THEY'LL THEY'LL HAVE TO ACCENTS. ACCESS POINTS. UH, MHM. ONE. NORTH OF FAITH

[00:45:09]

THEY'RE NOT GONNA UNDERSTAND THERE'S NO DIRECT ACCESS, BUT THEY'RE RIGHT ON EVELYN, AND THEY'RE GONNA ACCESS THAT IF THEY WANT TO. AND THEN JUST DRIVE OUT. RIGHT THERE, BUT IT ON BOTH SIDES. WELL I THOUGHT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT SCENARIO HAVE ONLY KNOCKS DEVELOPS. WAS TALKING ABOUT IT BOTH. OKAY, WELL, THEN, THAT'S IT. BOTH DEVELOPED AND THEY DON'T RELY ON EVELYN. WELL, IF. WELL, THAT'S A CONDITION THERE'S THAT'S THE CONDITION IS THAT IF IT HAS TO BE PART OF IT, AND I'M JUST KIND OF TRYING TO LOOK AT ALL ANGLES OF THIS, RIGHT, IF, UM COUNCIL. UM. WE FIND IF COUNCIL FINDS A. COMPROMISE OR AN AGREEMENT WITH THE DEVELOPER. THAT'S ONE OF THE CONDITIONS IS EVERYONE GETS APPROVED THAT SECOND ENTRANCE TO THE LOWER TRACK COMES OFF EVELYN AND NOT OUR THOUGHT. AND THE THOUGHT PROPERTY TO THE NORTH WALKS WILL COME OFF OF EVELYN EVELYN WOULD BE IMPROVED. THE REALIGNMENT OF EVELYN WAS. PART OF THE CONSIDERATION TO HAVE A FOUR WAY STOP INSTEAD OF AN OFFSET INTERSECTION. RIGHT. OKAY. SO WORST CASE SCENARIO ONLY KNOCKS DEVELOPS. IS THERE ANY IMPACT THEN TO EVELYN, WITH REGARD TO THAT? NO, NO. YES. SO CIRCLING BACK JUST A LITTLE BIT WHEN THE MAYOR MENTIONED CLEAR AND CONCISE DIRECTION FOR DEVELOPER I WANT ERIC. I GAVE YOU SOME THOUGHTS ALREADY. WE NEVER THOUGHT THAT I HAVE FOR YOU IS. ON NOT FAN OF THE TOTAL LOT SIZES RIGHT? AND THEY'RE NOT ALL FIVE ACRES. I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S ALSO NOT A LOT OF ROOM FOR JUST SINGLE WAFER LOTS OF DEVELOPMENT LIKE THIS. AND SO AS DIRECTION FOR YOU JUST FOR ME. I'D LIKE TO SEE THOSE WESTERN LOTS. TIED TOGETHER. LESS OF THEM. AND MAKE A LITTLE BIT MORE OPEN COMMUNITY. I MEAN, THE VERY LARGE LOTS OF YOU HAVE IN MIDDLE OF THE CREEK AT THE CREEK CROSSING AND THE YOU KNOW THE GALI AS YOU CALLED IT. HAVE TO BE THAT WAY. YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE A TON OF CHOICE THERE BECAUSE THAT FLOODS OUT AND IT FLOODS OUT OFTEN. UM. SO THAT THAT'S KIND OF BY NATURE DESIGNED. YOU HAVE TO HAVE THOSE NICE BIG POTS, BUT, UM FOR THE OWNERS AND STARDUST RANCH. HAVE FIVE ACRE LOTS AND YOU WANT THE ONE ACRE LOTS OF UP UP NEXT TO THEM. MM. PEOPLE IN SHOW NO OFF OF THOUGHT ROAD ALL OF FIVE ACRE LOTS. AND YOU'VE GOT SOME NICE BIG LOTS IN THERE. BUT YOU GOT I'M GUESSING LOTS TO THE SOUTH EASTER. PROBABLY TWO ISH ACRES. I'M GUESSING AND. TAKE THAT IN CONSIDERATION BECAUSE EVEN WHEN STARDUST WAS DONE. CONSIDERATIONS BY THAT COUNCIL WERE MADE THAT THIS ABUTS.

ROBES AND RANCH SO WE CAN HAVE SOME SMALLER LOTS. THEY'RE IN TRANSITION ONE WAY. WHEN YOU HAVE FIVE ACRE LOTS ON ONE SIDE, FIVE ACRE LOTS ON THEIR SIDE. AND PREVIOUS COUNSEL EVEN PAST THE. C R O ZONING TYPE AS WELL. SO IT'S NOT JUST WORLD RESIDENTIAL. BUT C R O, WHICH MEANS YOU CAN BUILD ONE ACRE LOTS BUT THEIR NEEDS BEFORE ACRES OF OPEN SPACE TO SUPPORT THAT ONE ACRE LOT. SO YOU'RE ACTUALLY ASKING US TO CHANGE TO ZONING TYPES? NOT JUST THE RURAL RESIDENTIAL. SO TAKE THOSE THINGS IN CONSIDERATION. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT I'VE ASKED YOU AND YOU WANT TO CONTACT ME OUTSIDE COUNSEL. THAT'S ABSOLUTELY FINE. BUT THAT'S JUST MY THOUGHTS FOR YOU. AND I'M JUST ONE OUT OF SEVEN. BUT YOU KNOW, YOU ASKED FOR DIRECTION AND THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO GIVE YOU. JUST DO ME A FAVOR. IF YOU SPEAK TO ANY COUNSELORS THAN THAT COMMUNICATION STAYS BETWEEN YOU AND THAT COUNSELOR.

IF YOU SPEAK TO ANY OTHER COUNSELORS DON'T SPEAK TO THEM ABOUT WHAT YOU SPOKE ABOUT TO THE OTHER COUNSELORS. WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN OUR RULES. RATHER WHAT THEY SPOKE ABOUT. YES, YES, YOU CAN APPROACH US WITH THE SAME QUESTIONS, RIGHT? YES BUT JUST DON'T RELAY WHAT SOMEONE ELSE SAID IF YOU DO CONTACT ANY OF US, I APPRECIATE THAT. JUST A REMINDER FOR ALL OF US. PLEASE. GROUP EVERY FAR ENOUGH ALONG IS DEVELOPER FAR ENOUGH ALONG TO LOOK AT THE

[00:50:02]

VERY, VERY STRICT. THEY'RE STRICTER THAN ANYTHING WE HAVE IN THE REGION. FOR LARGE LOTS.

THIS ISN'T TYPICAL TO PUT IN THE STANDARDS WE PUT IN. BUT THE CHALLENGES WE'VE HAD, UM THAT'S WHAT WE DECIDED TO DO. RIGHT? ERIC, DO YOU HAVE SOME THINGS TO JOIN? WE CAN HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE DISCUSSION IN THE BACK, AND THEY CAN GIVE A LITTLE MORE GUIDANCE ON A COUPLE OF THE NUANCES THEY MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE MORE FEEDBACK, BUT WE'VE HEARD FROM THE COUNCIL MEMBERS, UM TO GIVE YOU ENOUGH TO WORK WITH. WELL, IT CERTAINLY YOU HAVE SOME PUBLIC INPUT. YES, WE DO. AND IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, WE HAVE FORMS ON THIS TABLE BACK HERE. JUST FILL OUT THAT FORM AND HAND IT TO UM. SURELY OUR ACCOUNT SECRETARY IF YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK. YES. SO LET'S LET'S GET TO PUBLIC INPUT ON THIS AT THIS TIME, IF THAT'S ALRIGHT, COUNSEL. VERY GOOD. SO IT IS 6:24 P.M. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME ON THIS THIS EVENING.

[3. Public Input (Part 1 of 2)]

UNDEVELOPED AREA TO JUST HUGE GROWTH, AND THERE'S LOTS OF CONSTRAINTS ON EVERYBODY'S FINANCES AND TIMES AND YOU GUYS ARE AT HAVE TO ASK THAT THE ENGINEERS, ARCHITECTS AND ALL THAT. SO THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THAT. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO JUST CHECK. YOU MAY PULL ON YOUR HEARTSTRINGS A LITTLE BIT. IF YOU LOOK AT THIS FAMILY THAT LAND WAS BOUGHT 1924 100 YEARS AGO BY THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS AND SO THROUGH THE GENERATIONS. YOUR FAMILY HAS PAID TAXES.

GOOD TIMES. BAD TIMES. MAYBE NO MONEY CAME IN ON THE FARM OR WHATEVER, BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO HOLD THIS LAND TOGETHER. AND WHAT. ERIC IS ASKING HIM. WHAT THEY'RE ASKING IS TO GIVE A CHANCE FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO CAPITALIZE ON THE MONEY THAT THEY COULD MAKE, BECAUSE IF IT'S ROCK, YOU KNOW, PASTURE LAND. IT WAS 20 TO $30,000 AN ACRE. AND WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE LEGACY OF SOMEONE WHO CAME BACK IN 1924 AND STACKED OUT NORTH, LIKE I SAID, THIS IS GOING TO BE THE HOME OF MY FAMILY, AND YOU LOOK AT THE LEGACY OF THE FACES THAT HAVE STAYED HERE TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING. THAT DOES MEAN SOMETHING. AND ALL OF YOU GUYS GET IT CAUSE A LOT OF YOU GUYS. I KNOW I KNOW YOU. I KNOW YOUR FAMILIES AND I KNOW YOU GUYS, BUT WHAT WE'RE ASKING IS TO BRING IN A GOOD QUALITY DEVELOPER THAT WANTS TO BRING SOMETHING TO NORTH LEG. I SEE DEVELOPERS COME INTO OUR AREA ALL THE TIME. I JUST WANT TO

[00:55:03]

THEY'RE GONE AND I LIVE A BUNCH OF STUFF FOR EVERYBODY TO CREATE, YOU KNOW, CLEAN UP THE MESS THAT THEY MADE. ERIC IS TRYING AND I THINK. VERY HONEST WAY. THE WATER LINE IS HUGE.

EVEN EVELYN IF THERE'S NOT ANY IMMEDIATE IMPACT, I THINK SOMEONE SAID EARLIER WHO USES IT IF YOU'RE ON 35 LIGHTLY. YOU'RE USING EVERY BACKGROUND IN THIS AREA. SO PAY FORWARD USING THOSE RULES. SO IF WE HAVE RELATIVE IMPROVEMENTS, WATER IMPROVEMENTS AND WE'RE WORKING TOGETHER WITH SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO BE A STAKEHOLDER WITH NORTH LIKE WHICH I BELIEVE THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL BE A STAKEHOLDER. I'M EXCITED WHEN PEOPLE COME TO OUR AREA, AND THEY WANT TO BRING SOMETHING ELSE TO TAKE SOMETHING FOR. SO I'M ASKING IF YOU GUYS TO CONSIDER THAT IMPACT, AND I LOVE WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT ROOFTOPS. MY SON AND I ALWAYS LAUGH BECAUSE, LIKE THERE'S MORE ROOFTOPS WHERE THEY COME FROM, AND I SAID REAL ESTATE, SO I BENEFIT FROM ALL THOSE ROOFTOPS. I DON'T LIKE IT EITHER, BUT I DO LIKE IT WHEN WE LOOK AT EACH OTHER'S NEIGHBORS AND COMMUNITY PEOPLE, AND WE SAY, LET'S JUST MAKE SURE THAT IT WORKS FOR EVERYBODY. BUT JUST TO CONCLUDE WHAT I'M SAYING FOR THEM.

ECONOMIC IMPACT IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS DEVELOPMENT AND I'M JUST GOING TO SELL THIS OF ONE AND USER PROPERTY, SO I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND HOPE YOU GUYS WILL TAKE THAT IN CONSIDERATION AND AGAIN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. KATHY NEGLECTED TO MENTION THAT WE TRY TO HOLD TO A THREE MINUTE STANDARDS, SO I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT MENTIONING THAT AHEAD OF TIME, BUT THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY CUE. ALL RIGHT. I HAVE MICHAELA MONSTER NEXT. LOW COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM KAYLA MONTHS AND 2941 GRASSLAND COURT AND I'M HERE TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THE NOT SPOT DEVELOPMENT. SPECIFICALLY, THE FAMILY HAS BEEN VERY COURTEOUS TO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS, AND THEY'VE ACQUIRED OUR INPUT. ESPECIALLY AS IT WILL IMPACT US THE DIRECT TRAFFIC THAT WILL COME FOR THE MINI ROOFTOPS. UM THE NEW PASSAGE OF THE ELIMINATION OF THE LOT TO LOT DRAINAGE IS A HUGE WELCOME AND BENEFIT. CAN'T SPEAK SPECIFICALLY AS I'M NOT IMPACTED DIRECTLY AT THE CREEK BEHIND THE BY BAKER. LOTS OF STARTUPS RANCH, BUT I CAN TELL YOU JUST FROM THE COMMUNITY THAT DISCUSSION THAT IT WILL BE A GREAT IMPACT ON THEM AS WELL. I KNOW THAT THEY'RE SELF. WE'RE HERE THAT WILL ALSO LIKE TO SPEAK THEIR MINDS ON THAT. BUT ALSO JUST THE BENEFIT THAT THE TOWN WILL RECEIVE SPECIFICALLY FROM THIS, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE DEVELOPER HAS BEEN, UM, QUITE GENEROUS ENOUGH TO COME WITH A PROPOSAL THAT HAD QUITE A BIT MORE LOCKS ON IT. THEY WERE WILLING TO NEGOTIATE THAT AND LIMIT THE LOT SIZE AGAIN TRYING TO LIMIT THE TOTAL IMPACT. ROOFTOP WISE. THAT'S A HOT TOPIC NOW, UM, THAT WOULD HAVE ON THAT SPECIFIC, UM, COMMUNITY AND THEN AGAIN IN THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD. THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GAGE KILL HIM.

THANK YOU, COUNSEL. MY NAME IS GAGE GILLAM. I LIVE ON 37 65 ROPES AND RANCH AND THE STARTUP COMMUNITY. ERIC AND TEAM I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS COMIN, ATING. WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT. I UNDERSTAND IT IS A LOT OF CONTINUANCES HERE. AND IT'S NOT EASY TO FIND THAT FINE LINE THAT EVERYBODY WOULD LIKE TO SEE. I DO WANT A SECOND, THOUGH WHAT BRIAN HAD SUGGESTED. AND SELFISHLY SPEAKING, YOU KNOW, TWO YEARS AGO MOVED INTO THE FIVE ACRE LOT IN STARDUST. I THOUGHT I'D HAVE A GREAT VIEW. I KNOW LIFE CHANGES. UM BUT I THINK ACCOMMODATING. UM THE, UH THE ZONING AND UM. WOULD BE MAKING A FEW MORE COMPROMISES AND ALONG THOSE WESTERN LINES SO WE CAN MAINTAIN OUR VIEWS WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.

SUSAN BARAKA. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. MY NAME SUSAN BRITA 36 95 ROBSON RANCH ROAD AND I'M GOING TO READ THIS. THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING THE RESIDENTS OF NORTH LIKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THE UPCOMING THOUGHT. DEVELOPMENT MY FAMILY AND I LIVE ON ROBINSON RANTS AND WE SHARE THE PROPERTY LINE WITH THE PROPOSED QUESTION CENTER. AS WELL AS OVERLOOK ALL THE PROPOSED LOTS IN THE WEST SIDE OF THE DEVELOPMENT. WE ARE GRATEFUL TO HAVE THE EXISTING THOUGHT PROPERTY AS A BACKDROP FOR OUR FAMILY, ANOTHER NEIGHBORS OF THE STARDUST ARRANGED NEIGHBORHOOD. WE TRULY HAVE A PEACEFUL LOCATION TO CALL HOME.

WE KNEW THAT ONE DAY OUR PEACEFUL COUNTRYSIDE WOULD EVENTUALLY BE DEVELOPED. SO WE ARE GRATEFUL TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO A KLEIN ON THE THOUGHT DEVELOPMENT. TWO MAIN CONCERNS ARE RAINWATER MANAGEMENT, WHICH YOU ARE ADDRESSING. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR ADJACENT START US RANCH PROPERTIES IN REGARDS TO THE RAINWATER DRAINAGE MANAGEMENT. THE FIVE ACRE STARDUST RANGE LOTS ALL ALONG ROUTES AND RANCH ROAD SHARE CREEK THAT GROWS MASSIVELY AFTER RAINFALLS. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT REWORKING THE FAULT PROPERTY ELEVATIONS AND ADDING 60 HOMES WILL EXACERBATE THE EXISTING SITUATION. WE CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH THE IMPORTANCE OF DIVERTING WATER FROM THIS DEVELOPMENT. TWO OTHER LOCATIONS DIVERTS THE ADDITIONAL FLOW THROUGH THE

[01:00:02]

ROAD LIKE AUNTIES. LOTS BE INTERLACED THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD INSTEAD OF PLACING ALL THE ONE ACRE LOTS AT THE BACK OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. PLEASE TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION AS YOU REVIEW FUTURE PLANS WITH THE DEVELOPER ONCE AGAIN, I THANK YOU FOR PRIVATE NG AS RESIDENTS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT ON THIS DEVELOPMENT DURING THE PLANNING STAGES. THIS WILL BE A GREAT ADDITION TO NORTH LAKE. BUT PLEASE CONSIDER MY COMMENTS AS WELL AS COMMENTS FROM MY NEIGHBORS. BELIEVE THAT COLLECTIVE INFORMATION WILL MAKE THIS IN EVEN BETTER ADDITION TO THE TOWN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SUSAN FOR THE RECORD FOR YOUR CARD, ARE YOU SPEAKING IN SUPPORT HER OPPOSITION. IN SUMMARY IN SUMMARY, WE ARE IN SUPPORT. WE JUST WOULD LIKE TO SEE A LITTLE, UM, ACCOMMODATIONS, ACCOMMODATIONS TO THE SIZE OF THE LOTS AND THE VIEW OUT OUR BACK WINDOW. YOU SAID THANK YOU APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS. GARY GRANT. I GUESS. THANKS FOR LETTING ME COME IN AND TALK TODAY. I LIVE AT 38 43 ROBSON A RANCH ROAD ON THE LAST FIVE ACRE LOT OVER THERE AGAIN. HARD LOT FACES WHERE THIS FOUGHT ROAD IS. ALL THESE FOUGHT HOUSES ARE BEING DEVELOPED. UM I'M IN SUPPORT OF THE DEVELOPMENT. I THINK THE DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE GOOD, BUT I'M 100% AGAINST ONE ACRE LOTS. UM, YOU KNOW, WE BUILT OUR PROPERTIES THAT WE COULD HAVE THAT VIEW, AS THE OTHER RESIDENTS HAVE SAID. AND WE DON'T WANT TO WALK OUT THE BACK OF OUR HOUSE. EMC ROOFTOPS STRAIGHT ACROSS SO I THINK IF WE COULD, YOU KNOW, WORK ON.

GETTING THE TWO ACRE LOTS. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE FIVE ACRES. THEY HAVE TWO THAT WOULD GIVE US SOME DISTANCE. AND YOU KNOW, KIND OF HELP US OUT AS WELL. THAT'S MY BIGGEST CONCERN.

ALSO, ALONG WITH THE DRAINAGE, WHICH WE'VE TALKED ABOUT SEVERAL TIMES AND THE OTHER, YOU KNOW, RESIDENTS HAVE BROUGHT UP. I THINK YOU GUYS ARE WORKING ON THAT. BUT WE DO HAVE A VERY, VERY STRONG CONCERN ABOUT THE DRAINAGE ISSUE. BEHIND OUR HOUSE. I MEAN, ALMOST A HALF ACRE OF OUR OUR BACKYARD FLOODS. I KNOW WE'RE IN A FLOOD SOME, YOU KNOW, BUT. IF WE GET MORE WATER, IT'S JUST GOING TO KEEP TAKING THAT MORE AND MORE OF OUR PROPERTY. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE ONE ACRE LIVES. I'M 100% AGAINST IT, AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT VERY CLEAR. THANK YOU GUYS. YEAH. MHM. LESLIE MILEY. LESLIE MILEY 67 15 FT ROAD. AND I AM KNOWN THE THOUGHTS FOR 10 YEARS AS I'VE LIVED ACROSS THE STREET FROM THEM, SO I WANT TO SAY I AM IN SUPPORT OF WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO. THIS IS THE BEST, UM.

LAY OUT, I GUESS PROPOSAL OF THE THREE THAT WE'VE SEEN OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. SO I LIKE IT. I'M GOING TO SECOND, THOUGH. WHAT I'VE HEARD WHAT BRIAN ALSO SAID. UM I'M ON FIVE ACRES. I'M GOING TO LOOK AT A VERY SKINNY. LOOKS LIKE MAYBE A TWO ACRE LOT AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF THEM AND THEIR BACKYARDS. SO. THAT'S NOT A PRETTY VIEW FOR ME, BUT I AM IN SUPPORT. NOT AGAINST IT. I JUST LOST. IT WOULD LIKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS. THANK YOU. YOU'LL NEED TO SAVE THIS ONE COULD TWO ISSUES. OKAY, GOT IT. ALL RIGHT, JOEL MCGREGOR. I'VE, UM. I'LL SAVE YOUR SECOND TOPIC FOR LATER. IF YOU DON'T MIND THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND BUT IF YOU COME AND SPEAK ON THE FOUGHT DEVELOPMENT AT THIS TIME. DOLE MCGREGOR RATING ON 21 EAST ASSEMBLY LANE AND, UH, OF COURSE. NO SURPRISE. I'M FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE I THINK THE THOUGHT SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT TO WITH THEIR PROPERTY. AND THIS IS COMING FROM SOMEBODY THAT. SPOKE FOR THE BIG WAREHOUSE THAT COVERS THE ENTIRE FRONT OF MY PROPERTY BECAUSE IT WASN'T MY PROPER HE SUFFERED. THEY SHOULD DO WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO WHAT THEIR PROPERTY ALSO UM. AND UH, I'M SURE THAT THEY'RE TOTALLY OPEN TO SELLING THEIR PROPERTY TO GROUP. IF PEOPLE AROUND THERE WHEN THE DOG PITCH IN AND BUY THAT PROPERTY AND KEEP PALS

[01:05:05]

WHICH IS ALREADY PRETTY SHORT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. I APPRECIATE YOU LISTENING TO MY COMMENTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ONCE AGAIN. RIGHT. THANK YOU. YOU HAVE ANY MORE? MM. THAT'S IT, SIR. ALL RIGHT, THAT WAS ROBUST. I DO HAVE, UM. WE RECEIVED AN EMAIL ON THIS TOPIC AND I'M DOING MY BEST. ASHLEY KEEP ME HONEST HERE THERE. I WILL SUMMARIZE THE EMAILS, TENANTS. UM SOME OF THE QUESTIONS RELATE TO THINGS THAT ARE NOT RELATED TO THIS PROJECT, AND SO I CAN'T STATE. I DON'T THINK I CAN REALLY TALK TO THOSE ON THE RECORD HERE AT THIS TIME. BUT I CAN STATE WITH THE QUESTIONS WERE, WHICH WILL GIVE YOU SOME CONTEXT CONTEXT HERE. SO THIS IS FROM AUTUMN GONZALEZ, THEIR FAMILY LIVES ON ROBSON RANCH ROAD. IN FRONT ON THE SOUTH SIDE STARDUST. AND UM, SEEING THE DEVELOPMENT WILL TOUCH MY PROPERTY. I HOPE YOU TAKE OUR VIEW INTO DEEP THOUGHT AND CONSIDERATION. THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE ASKED ARE HOW IS NORTHLAKE PLANNING TO USE THE ADDITIONAL REVENUE? HOW WILL WE PREVENT MORE TRAFFIC SPEEDING ISSUES ON ROBSON RANCH? HOW WILL WE WILL WE USE THE ADDITIONAL REVENUE TO EXTEND RUBS INTO FOUR LANES? WE'LL USE THE ADDITIONAL REVENUE TO SOLVE FOR TRAFFIC. SPEEDING ISSUES ON ROPES AND RANCH WILL BE EXTENSIVE WORK DONE TO AVOID DRAINAGE ISSUES ON THE LAND, TOUCHING OUR PROPERTIES AND STARDUST. WANT TO SUPPORT THE THOUGHTS, BUT I CANNOT KNOWING WE WOULD LOSE THE PRIVACY SEES THAT WE WERE BUYING WHEN INVESTING IN NORTH LAKE. SO, UH,

[01:10:04]

IN A FEW MINUTES, WE'LL OPEN PUBLIC INPUT UP AGAIN. BUT IF YOU'RE HEADED OUT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING. APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. YEAH.

BEAUTIFUL. MHM. YES. MHM. MM. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GONNA RECESS FOR JUST A SECOND. THEN WE'LL WE'LL GET WE'LL GET REFOCUSED HERE IN A MINUTE. DOES ANYBODY NEED A DRINK CO ALL RIGHT. IT IS 6:49 P.M. AND WE'VE RETURNED FROM THE LONGEST ONE MINUTE RECESS AND OUR TOWN'S HISTORY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ACCOMMODATION, FOLKS. IT'S GOOD TO BE FRIENDLY AND ENJOY GETTING TO CONNECT WITH EVERYBODY. AT THIS TIME, WE'RE

[2.B. FY 2022 Departmental and Programmatic Budgets]

WE'VE INTRODUCED SOME NEW THINGS EACH YEAR THAT I'VE BEEN WITH THE TOWN AND THIS YEAR I'VE ASKED THE STAFF TO COME UP WITH DEPARTMENTAL AND PROGRAMMATIC BUDGETS AND. WHAT? THAT THIS IS KIND OF THEIR LANGUAGE FOR DESCRIBING WHAT I WAS ASKING FOR, BUT THIS TIME AROUND, WE'RE TRYING TO PUT TOGETHER. PUBLIC SAFETY AS A TOPIC. WHAT ARE WE DOING IN PUBLIC SAFETY, AND SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT STAFF? WE CAN TALK ABOUT ALLOCATIONS OF WORK ABOUT EQUIPMENT. THOSE KIND OF THINGS LET'S HAVE A TOP, LET'S HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT INDEPENDENT OF EVERYTHING ELSE. WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO IN THAT SPACE? SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A KIND OF A CLOSE SCOPE DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT. MOVE ON TO ANOTHER DEPARTMENT. WHAT DO WE DO IN PUBLIC WORKS? WHAT ARE THE THINGS WE NEED TO FUND? WHAT KIND OF STAFFING DO WE NEED? WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR? AND HOW DO THOSE BUDGETS TIE OUT? MAKES A WHOLE LOT MORE SENSE THAN TAKING A PIECE OUT OF THIS FUND AND THIS FUNDING THIS FUNDING THIS FUND ON DIFFERENT PAGES IN DIFFERENT CONVERSATIONS AND TRYING TO STITCH TOGETHER IN OUR HEADS. ARE WE SPENDING MORE? WE SPENDING LESS. WE SPENDING AN APPROPRIATE AMOUNT MORE WHERE. ARE THE NEW DOLLARS GOING. THAT'S THE QUESTION THAT WERE TYPICALLY TRYING TO ASK. I THINK THIS APPROACH IS GOING TO HELP US GET CLOSER TO WHAT MY ENVISION IS FOR HAVING THOSE THOSE SCOPED CONVERSATIONS, SO THAT'S THE INTENT FOR TONIGHT.

[01:15:01]

AND AS WE TALKED ABOUT, WE'RE GOING TO FOCUS THIS YEAR. MAINLY ON FOUR. WE'RE GOING TO STILL ACCOMPLISH ALL EIGHT, BUT WE'RE GOING TO HIGHLIGHT THESE FOUR. SO THIS IS YOUR THESE ARE YOUR OPERATIONAL EXPENDITURES? WE'VE ALREADY TALKED LAST TIME ABOUT YOUR CAPITAL BUDGET. YOUR MULTI YEAR PROJECTS. THIS IS FISCAL YEAR 2022 OCTOBER 1ST. SEPTEMBER 30TH. 2022 AND THESE ARE JUST ARE OPERATIONAL REVENUES. THIS FIRST SLIDE IS. MARKET ADJUSTMENT. IT AFFECTS ALL DEPARTMENTS. SO RATHER THAN KEEP TALKING ABOUT IT AT EVERY DEPARTMENT, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT. AT ONE TIME. IT IS, UH FOLLOWS THE. COUNCILS DIRECTION TO MAINTAIN MID MARKET. THIS WILL PUT US AT 50. PERCENT OF THE MARKET RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. THIS HELPS US HELPS US IN RECRUITMENT AND REN.N.N.N.N.N.N.N.N.N.N. AND OBN YOU STAFF. YOU HAVE TO RETRAIN THEM SO VERY BENEFICIAL, VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THIS AND THE BREAKDOWN BETWEEN THE FUNDS, BUT UM. KIND OF VACANCIES. AND UM, UH, YOU KNOW, TURNOVER WE HAD THIS YEAR THAT YOU CAN HIGHLIGHT FOR US. SO WITH THE RECENT THE JUNE 1ST MINIMUM. RAISED. WE WERE ABLE TO BE ABLE TO FILL WE HAVE. THREE OFFICER, WE HAVE ADDITIONAL OFFICER IN ACADEMY. SO, ROBERT, HOW MANY VACANCIES THAT PUT US OUT IN POLICE? ONE VACANCY LEFT. OF COURSE, THAT'S A THAT WAS FROM LAST YEAR, RIGHT? IN PUBLIC WORKS, I BELIEVE, UH, ERIC HAS BEEN ABLE TO FULLY STAFF THE EXISTING POSITIONS. SO. SO THE JUNE 1ST WAS VERY CRUCIAL AND HELPED US. WE WERE ABLE. TO BEING AN EMPLOYEE BACK FROM FROM A COMPETITOR AND. KEEP ALL OUR EMPLOYEES. THERE WAS SOME PRETTY STRONG POACHING GOING ON FOR EMPLOYEES SO VERY THANKFUL. THANK YOU, COUNSEL FOR THAT MID YEAR ADJUSTED. SO. KIND OF THIS IS THE THIS IS YOUR COST OF SERVICES, AND WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO COST CENTERS, BUT, UH, STAFF HELPED ME DEVELOP. A SLIDE. IT'S KIND OF CUMULATIVE.

SO UP THERE NOW IS PUBLIC SAFETY. AND IT EATS UP ALL OF OUR OPERATIONAL PROPERTY TAX REVENUES AND STILL NEEDS MORE MONEY. WE ADD OUR GENERAL FUND SALES TAX STILL DOESN'T PAY FOR OUR PUBLIC SAFETY. NOW. PUBLIC WORKS IS A. IS PRIMARILY A LARGE PART OF THAT IS OUR UTILITY FUND, OUR WATER SYSTEM OR WATER ARE SUPER SYSTEM. AND THOSE ARE FUNDED BY. STEWARD WATER FEES. THOSE THOSE ARE SELF SUSTAINING SO THAT. THAT ADDS UP THAT THE DIFFERENCE IN THAT IS PUBLIC WORKS. IT IS NOT A PROFIT, BUT NOT OF PROFITS THAT ARE COST CENTER THAT COVERS ITS ALL ITS COST. THEN WE ADD IN DEVELOPMENT AND WE LOOK AT DEVELOPMENT REVENUES AND WE'LL COME BACK TO DEVELOPMENT REVENUES, BUT OBVIOUSLY DEVELOPMENT REVENUES MORE THAN COVER DEVELOPMENT COSTS. AND THEN WE CUT. OVER WITH ADMINISTRATION AND. AND THEN FINALLY THE OTHER ISSUE FRANCHISE FEES, OTHER TYPES OF FEES. WE'LL GET INTO THOSE AS WELL. LIKE THIS IS A BALANCED BUDGET. THESE ARE OPERATIONAL REVENUES AND. THESE ARE OUR COST CENTERS THAT WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH HERE AND SAY. WHAT'S OUR PROJECTION FOR THE SPLIT OF, UH. RESIDENTIAL VERSUS COMMERCIAL PROPERTY TAX THIS YEAR. BALLPARK. 64 60, WHICH SIDE. COMMERCIAL 60 SIXTIES COMMERCIAL 40% RESIDENTIAL. EXCELLENT WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THE NUMBERS, BUT WE LOOK LIKE WE'RE GONNA GET A LOT MORE. BUSINESS PERSONAL PROPERTY. EXCELLENT. THANK YOU. OKAY, SO WE ENDED. WE INTRODUCED THIS CONCEPT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. COST CENTERS. FIRST COST CENTER IS UTILITIES, AND THIS IS PRIMARILY PUBLIC WORKS. OBVIOUSLY A LARGE PART OF THIS IS OUR WHOLESALE COSTS ARE ALSO COST IS WHAT WE PAY. THE CITY FOOT WORTH AN OPPORTUNITY FOR TREATED WATER IN WHAT WE PAY

[01:20:01]

THESE FIRST SLIDES. COME ON UP, ERIC. THESE FIRST SLIDES ARE ARE FLARES, SLIDES OR PERSONALITY SLIDES WANTED TO GIVE ERIC AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE WINTER STORM WE DID ABOUT IT, AND, UH, WE GAVE THEM. KUDOS FOR WHAT THEY DID AND ABLE TO KEEP THE WATER RUNNING. BUT UH I'LL LET I'LL LET ERIC AND YOU NEED AN ADVANCED THE SLIDE.

IT'S ABOUT NOTHING. BUT THIS MIRROR WHAT HAPPENED? THANK YOU. MAYOR COUNCIL. AS DREW STATED, WE DID TALK ABOUT THE STORMS THAT WE HAD A FEW MONTHS BACK. UM. THAT WEEK LEADING UP TO THE STORMS. WE CHECKED ALL OUR COLD WEATHER. ITEMS MEASURES THAT WE TOOK, AND WE BELIEVE THESE UP YEAR ROUND, SO IT WAS JUST MORE OF A. CHECK ON HIM TO MAKE SURE THINGS WERE STILL WORKING. SO WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT SINCE. 2012 SO WE CONTINUALLY KEEP THOSE. UH PURELY, SO THOSE ARE THAT'S NOT NOT ANYTHING NEW FOR US. WE DID HAVE ALL STAFF WORKING 24 HOUR COVERAGE ON THOSE DAYS IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SYSTEM WAS OPERATING BY THE WAY THEMSELVES.

DEREK CAN BEFORE YOU LEAVE THAT JUST COULD YOU COULD YOU HIGHLIGHT FOR US? WHAT IS A COLD WEATHER MEASURE? WHAT ARE SOME OF THOSE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE TO DO? THOSE ARE MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE A HEAT TRACE HEATERS RUNNING IN THE PUMP STATIONS. UM. WE'RE MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE ADDING FUEL ADDITIVES. UM TWO GENERATORS. OR MAKE SURE THAT PIPES ARE WRAPPED ON ANY OUTSIDE PIPES WITH OUR CURRENT PUMP STATIONS THAT WE HAVE HARVEST. KENYA FALLS ON NORTHWARD IN STATES WE HAVE OUTSIDE COPPER PIPING. IF WE DON'T WRAP THOSE, THEY FREEZE THEM. WE DON'T HAVE WATER AND THEN BASICALLY IT CAUSES BREAK ON THOSE SO WE WRAP ALL THOSE WITH HEAT TRACE AND THEN, UH, THE STYROFOAM. REP. ON THOSE, UM. AND WE'RE ALSO CHECKING OUR PALMS. MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GETTING A LITTLE BIT OF LEAKAGE ON SOME OF THE TOP OF THE BONNETS ON THOSE PUMPS, BECAUSE IF THEY SIT FOR TOO LONG IN THE COLD WEATHER, THEY CAN'T FREEZE UP AND THEN YOU CAN. MAKE A PUMP IT TYPE OF WEATHER, WE'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT A GOOD MONTH TO GET ANY TYPE OF PARTS BACK SO. IT'S REALLY CRUCIAL THAT WE TAKE THOSE, UH. REALLY MINOR MEASURES. UH TO MAKE THE SYSTEM WE WERE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE, OTHER THAN OTHER THAN A LOT OF OTHER UTILITIES WERE GRANTED. THERE ARE A LOT BIGGER, BUT WERE VERY PROACTIVE ON MAINTENANCE. UM. THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE DO IS PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE. SO WE MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE WE'RE ALWAYS OPERATING STAFF. THE OPERATORS, CREW LEADERS, UM THEY'RE ON TOP OF IT. THEY LET US KNOW WHEN THINGS NEED TO BE ADJUSTED OR.

PURCHASED OR OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. SO WE BUDGET FOR THOSE ITEMS FOR THE UNKNOWNS. SO WE'VE BEEN BEEN PRETTY LUCKY WITH THE STAFF AND WHAT WE HAVE. IN THE SYSTEM, SO THEY ALL BEEN BEEN DOING THEIR JOB SO. UM CRUZ DID WORK 24 HOURS AGAIN. DURING THAT WEEK. UH CRUCIAL PART FOR US WAS MONITORING SKATER. UM. THING THAT YOU WOULD THINK THAT COLD WEATHER PEOPLE WOULDN'T BE USING THE WATER. PEOPLE WERE USING A LOT OF WATER TO DRIP THEIR FAUCETS.

SO YOU KNOW, THEN WHEN THEY SEE THOSE BILLS COME AT THE END OF THE MONTH, THEY WON'T. WE DIDN'T USE A LOT OF WATER. WILL YOU WANT TO BE RUNNING IT FOR A WEEK STRAIGHT DRIPPING FAUCETS ADDS UP PRETTY QUICK, SO. YOU KNOW? SO WHEN WE NOTICED THAT USAGE IS HIGH, WE HAVE TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE PUMP STATIONS TO MAKE SURE WE'RE PUTTING OUT ENOUGH WATER INTO THE SYSTEM. BUT WE DON'T WANT TO OVER PRESSURIZED DURING THE COLD WEATHER. BECAUSE THEN THAT ALSO CAUSES PROBLEMS, SO THERE'S KIND OF A FINE LINE. OF ADJUSTMENTS TO GET THAT WATER OUT MINIMAL PRESSURE. UM. FOR THOSE CUSTOMERS SO AND THEN OPPORTUNITY. REGIONAL WATER DISTRICT ISSUE ON ON THEIR END, SO WE WERE GETTING LESS WATER DURING THAT WEEK, SO WE HAD TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS OF THAT AS WELL. WE HAD QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS. I DON'T HAVE THE NUMBER RIGHT ON TOP OF MY HEAD FOR NO WATER. TYPICALLY, WHEN WE GO OUT THERE WE CHECK IT. WE CHECK TO SEE IF THE WATER IS GOING THROUGH THE METER. IF IT IS, THEN IT'S GO ON THE CUSTOMER SIDE IF IT IS THE METER. ANOTHER WAY. WE DO IT IS WE PUT A DRIER VENT HOSE TO THE END OF THE TAILPIPE ON THE TRUCK. PUT IT RIGHT OVER THE METER AND DEFROST IT. IT MAY SOUND KIND OF, UH, YOU KNOW ODD, BUT IT WORKS. AND SO THE CUSTOMER GETS GETS THE WATER.

YEAH. EVERY TRUCK CARRIES ON SO. AND THEN WE DID A LOT OF EMERGENCY SHUT OFFS AS WELL. WE

[01:25:03]

THANK YOU. CORE FUNCTIONS FOR PUBLIC WORKS, UM, WATER DISTRIBUTION OPERATIONS THAT CONSISTS OF DISTRIBUTION DISTRIBUTION LINES. PUMP STATIONS. ANY OF THE ASSETS THAT ARE WITHIN THE SYSTEM. WASTEWATER COLLECTION OPERATIONS MANHOLES. SEWER PIPES. LIVE STATIONS, STREET MAINTENANCE ANY OF THE PAVED ROAD UNPAVED ROADS THAT ALSO INCLUDES RIGHT OF WAYS. THE MOWING OF THOSE INFRASTRUCTURE INSPECTIONS, WHICH KEEPS OUR INSPECTOR BUSY SIX DAYS A WEEK. SO HE'S HE'S WITH ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE GOING ON THE GROUND. HE'S VERY, VERY BUSY. AND WATER METER INSTALLATIONS. THAT IS A. DAILY TASK FOR US.

WE GET WORK ORDERS THAT. YOU KNOW, FOR A WHILE, THERE WERE GETTING MAYBE 10 A DAY.

SOMETIMES WE'RE NOW GETTING 15 20. SOMETIMES 30 A DAY WHEN I LOOK AT THE WORK ORDER SYSTEM IN THE MORNING, IT CONTINUES ON TO THE NEXT PAGE, SO THERE'S A LOT GOING ON WITH. WAS WITH METER INSTALLATIONS. A LOT OF CUSTOMERS COMING ONLINE RIGHT NOW, SELF. THIS YEAR ACCOMPLISHMENTS WE WERE STILL IN THE MIDST OF THE YEAR, BUT 100% REGULATORY COMPLIANCE WITH T C. Q. AND THAT'S ALWAYS MY NUMBER ONE. FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS. WHEN YOU WHEN YOU DON'T. MEET THOSE REGULATORY ITEMS. UM, WE CAN GET FINED. WE GET A LETTER MAYOR GETS THE FIRST LETTER AND I GET THE COPY. SO HE KNOWS JUST AS WELL HOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR THAT. AND WE ALSO HAVE TO NOTIFY CUSTOMERS, SO THAT'S NOT SOMETHING IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU HIDE. EVERYBODY KNOWS WHEN YOU GET IT, SO IT'S MANDATORY BY STATE SO. YOU KNOW, WE TRY TO RUN A TIGHT SHIP WITH OPERATIONS. UM AND TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S ON THE SAME PAGE. AS AS I AM, AND LIKE I SAID, STOP HAVING IS GREAT AND THERE. ARE WILLING TO PUT IN THAT WORK TO MAKE SURE THAT WHERE YOU KEEP IN COMPLIANCE. COMPLETION OF THE NORTH SIDE ELEVATOR STORAGE TANK. WE DID STARTED FILLING THAT YESTERDAY, SO HOPEFULLY WITHIN THE NEXT FEW YEARS WEEKS WE GET ALL THE PUNCH. LIST ITEMS DONE AND WE GET THAT ONLINE. IN JULY. I'M THINKING IT'S REALLY A SLOW PROCESS RIGHT NOW PUTTING WATER INTO THAT JUST BECAUSE OF THE HIGH DEMAND ALREADY ON THE SYSTEM. SO WE'RE SHUTTING IT OFF ABOUT 10 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT. WE DON'T FEEL OVERNIGHT AND WE COME BACK 8 30 IN THE MORNING AFTER THE HIGH DEMAND IS OVER, AND THEN WE START FILMING AGAIN. UM SO WE'RE GETTING TO THE FINISH LINE. WITH THIS PROJECT. ISLAND. UM. WE STARTED CONSTRUCTION ON THE SOUTH SIDE PUMP STATION. THAT'S THAT'S GOING PRETTY WELL. CONTRACT IS DOING A GREAT JOB ON THAT. SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO GET THAT ONLINE SOMETIME. EARLY NEXT YEAR. 2022 SAME 100%

SO WE'RE AND THEN WITH MORE STOPS. TWO. DO TODAY'S A LOT LONGER ON THOSE, SO IT'S JUST GOING TO BE GOING TO HELP US OUT A LAPTOP, BUT WE DON'T HAVE AN EXTRA. LAPTOP OR A DESK MOUNT FOR STAFF TO USE FOR THE WORK ORDERS AT THE END OF THE DAY. CURRENTLY YEAH.

JUST A QUICK NOTE ON THESE REQUESTS IF IT SAYS IF LIVE, 2021, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT IN THIS YEAR. WE'LL DO A WE'LL DO A CLEANUP BUDGET AMENDMENT AT THE END OF THE YEAR, BUT WE HAVE ENOUGH CASH.

THEY'RE ITEMS THAT THE DEPARTMENTS CAN GET PRETTY QUICKLY. WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND GET THOSE NOW BECAUSE WE HAVE THE AVAILABLE FUNDS AND THEN THE NOTE ON THE EQUIPMENT IS PRE FUNDED. SO. WE CONSTANTLY PUT MONEY INTO OUR EQUIPMENT FUND TO BUILD UP THOSE BALANCES SO WE CAN PAY CASH SO. ALL THE REPLACEMENT STUFF IS PRE FUNDED. THERE'LL BE AN AN ADDITIONAL INCREASE TO THEIR PAYMENT TO THE EQUIPMENT FUND FOR NEW EQUIPMENT, BUT WE'LL CATCH UP WITH THAT. SO THE THOSE ARE THE. NOTES IN PARENTHESES THERE. I'M SORRY.

SO YOU KNOW WHEN I LOOK AT THE NUMBERS OF WHAT I'VE EXPENDITURES FOR THE YEAR ALREADY, IT'S NOT GOOD. ANOTHER THING ON THOSE METERS. OBVIOUSLY WE KNOW THE REAL ESTATE MARKET IS OFF THE CHARTS ALL THE AVAILABLE LOTS THEY PUSHED OUT IMMEDIATELY AS QUICKLY AS THEY COULD. THERE'S GONNA BE A GAP COMING UP BECAUSE THEY'RE RUSHING TO DO THEIR NEXT PHASES. SO ALL THE PHASES THAT WERE PLANTED AND READY. ALL AT ONCE, AND WHEN HE SAYS 30 A DAY IT'S NOT 30 A DAY EVERY DAY, NOT EVERY DAY, BUT THE BUILDER. THE BUILDERS TYPICALLY COME IN WITH THEIR GROUP OF PER BITS, SO. IT. SOMETIMES THIS IS HIGH AS 30 TODAY, BUT IT'S NOT. IT DOESN'T AVERAGE 30 A DAY. OKAY, BUSINESS DAYS, OBVIOUSLY, SO IT'S NOT WEEKENDS AND THINGS, OKAY? OKAY? YEAH, THAT'S UH, LISTEN, BECAUSE BECAUSE THEY'RE PART OF OUR WATER SYSTEM, THEIR THEIR INTEREST CUSTOMERS, SO THANK YOU, NATHAN. THESE ARE INCLUDE HARVEST. OKAY THAT'S HELPFUL CLARITY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE NUMBER OF HOMES BEING BUILT AND THE NUMBER OF METERS BEING INSTALLED AS A. INDICATOR OF THE FUTURE. I WAS A LITTLE NERVOUS ABOUT. THAT DIFFERENCE, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION. EXPENDITURES YOU CAN SEE WHERE WE STARTED BACK IN 2000 AND EIGHT AS AS INFRASTRUCTURE IS BEING BUILT DAILY. AND WE START TAKING THOSE OVER THE COST. GO UP FOR THAT, AND WE'RE SEEING INCREASES ON SUPPLIES. ESPECIALLY OUR ANYTHING PETROLEUM PRODUCTS. WE'RE SEEING ANYWHERE FROM. 2 TO 10% INCREASE ON THOSE WILL PROBABLY ANOTHER INCREASES NEXT YEAR ON METERS. THEY TYPICALLY DO A MID YEAR ABOUT 2% INCREASE ON THOSE SO THAT 2% ADDS UP WHEN YOU'RE DOING 1000 M. YOU KNOW, FOR THE YEARS, SO, UM. BUT IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE AS AS A INFRASTRUCTURE. INCREASES. THAT'S IT. ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET AHEAD OF THAT? UM I KNOW YOU USUALLY BUY METERS IN A BIG BULK ORDERS. IS THERE A WAY TO GET AHEAD OF THAT INCREASE, AND MAYBE YOU CAN ORDER IN EARLY BEFORE THAT INCREASE HAPPENS. WE ACTUALLY HAD TO REMEMBER. WE HAD THAT COST AGREEMENT.

THEY'RE NOT HONORING THAT, UH. THEY'RE NOT REPEATING THAT THIS YEAR. THEY HONORED IT LAST YEAR, THEY WOULDN'T DO IT THIS YEAR. ALSO ANOTHER OH, GLOBAL PROBLEM IS JUST IN TIME. DELIVERY INVENTORIES. WE'RE SEEING THIS EVERYWHERE. PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE IS I MEAN, WE'VE GOT TO BUY THESE WHEN WE NEED THEM. WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE. WE HAVE A PRETTY ROBUST SUPPLIER AND THEY'RE ABLE TO GET GET US THESE THINGS AND SO THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO KEEP UP BUT ULTIMATELY OF THE PIPELINE. THE POND SQUEEZES DOWN. YEAH WE COULD BE. WE COULD BE IN

[01:40:06]

SO I MEAN, WHEN YOU'RE TALKING 10 DAYS IF YOU DON'T BUY WITHIN THAT 10 DAYS AND YOU SEE THAT? JOB. WE'VE SEEN IT WITH THE BEING IN SHOULDER JOBS. THAT WE GOT NUMBERS FOR THIS, AND THEN WE GET READY TO GO ON THE FIVE PRODUCT, YOU KNOW. PRICES INCREASED, THEY WON'T HONOR.

BECAUSE THEIR SUPPLIERS ARE GIVING THEM INCREASES ON THE FLIGHT. FOR THEMSELVES, AND WE AND USE YOUR PAGE. THAT'S WHY I GOT ONE. I MEAN, WE KNOW WE'RE GOING HAVE AND THERE ARE 600 M EASY, RIGHT, SO WHY NOT COULD GET BIG REFORM RIGHT NOW AND TRY TO GET AHEAD OF THAT? I MEAN BY HIM. SOMETIMES THE BULK HELPS PROBABLY NOT DOING MUCH IN BULK PRICING NOW, BUT GET AHEAD OF IT RIGHT AND GET THEM NOW BEFORE PRICES UP, BUT WE HAVE NEVER HAD WE HAVE EVER.

NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET A METER FROM THEM. HE THAT'S CORRECT. WE'VE NEVER HAD ISSUES GETTING METERS. BUT THAT WOULD ALL BE. AND ON FUNDS AVAILABLE. WE'LL TRY TO TRY TO NEGOTIATE WITH HIM. SEE IF WE CAN GET IT IN BOTH. I'M AFRAID. I KNOW WHAT THE ANSWER IS, BUT DEFINITELY TRUST YOU. SO THAT RUNS IN THE STORAGE AND SECURITY ISSUES, AND THAT'S TRUE. WE DON'T HAVE.

WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF STORAGE AS WELL. YOU WANT TO BUILD A PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING. WE'RE GONNA WE'RE GONNA BRING HIM OVER TO SHOW YOU WANT TO ADD TO YOUR REQUEST. IS THAT LOT OVER THERE RAGES HIS FACE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU THE NEXT THE NEXT DEPARTMENT AND LIKE PUBLIC WORKS. FINANCES SPLIT BETWEEN FUNDS, BUT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT. FINANCE AS AN AS AN ENTIRE DEPARTMENT. A LARGE PORTION OF THIS IS UTILITY BUILDING. OBVIOUSLY FINANCE HELPS US WITH BUDGET ACCOUNTING AND ALL THOSE IN AUDIT AND EVERYTHING BUT. SO THE MIDDLE OF SEE WHAT'S THERE. FLARE SLIDE. UH I WANTED, UH, A LIST OF ALL THE FUNDS OVER THE YEARS, BUT THERE'S JUST BEEN SO MANY WE CAN'T KEEP UP. YEAH. BUT SO I'M JUST GOING TO PUT THEM ALL UP HERE. THESE ARE ALL THE FUNDS THAT JOHN MANAGES. WE HAVE THE BLUE. THE DARKER BLUE IS GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS. UH PROPERTY TAX, WHICH IS OUR MAIN TAX OR SPECIAL REVENUE. THAT HAVE TO BE SENTENCE BEEN A CERTAIN WAY. IT'S ALL BY THE STATE LEGISLATURE. WE HAVE A LOT OF SPECIAL FUNDS AND PUBLIC SAFETY IN COURT. THE CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDS AND WE HAVE SPECIAL TAX INDEX TRICKS. JOE'S FAVORITE THE TRES AND ARP IDS, AND THEN WE HAVE OUR PROPRIETARY FUNDS THAT THEY SPLIT INTO UTILITY FUND. INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS, WHICH WE USED TO COLLECT MONEY, BUT. EVEN JUST SINCE JOHN'S BEEN HERE. WE'VE BEEN GROWING FUNDS AND I KNOW THE MAYOR. HE UNDERSTANDS FUNDS COMPLETELY, BUT IT CAN BE VERY CONFUSING AND WE LOOK AT THAT WE TAKE A DEPARTMENT AND WE SPLIT IT LIKE A PIECE OF PIE. WE'VE PLAYED A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT WAYS. SO ANYWAY. JOHN WILL TALK ABOUT HIS BUDGET TOOK A BIT MORE ABOUT FUNDS AND WE WILL. JUST HAVE TO HIGHLIGHT, JOHN. SO YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING OUT FOR A FLARE SLIDE. WE END UP WITH A COMPLETE FINANCE GEEK SLIDE HERE. UM I DO LOVE IT. I'M RIGHT THERE WITH YOU, BUT I JUST WANTED TO SAY. SINCE YOU'VE COME ON BOARD, YOU'VE YOU'VE REVOLUTIONISED OUR TRANSPARENCY HERE AND I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH BECAUSE THIS IS THE INFORMATION I LIVE ON IN MY PROFESSIONAL CAREER. BEING ABLE TO HAVE THIS IN THESE FORMATS AND THE RESPONSES YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO GET ME ON DIFFERENT THINGS, ADAPTING THE SITUATIONS THAT ARE DEVELOPING, TRYING TO UNDERSTAND. SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. I'M VERY APPRECIATIVE, NOT JUST DRIVING OUR FUNCTION FORWARD IN OUR TOWN FORWARD, BUT THE MANAGEMENT OF THIS AREA HAS BEEN EXCELLENT. SO I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A FEW, UM THANKS FOR THAT. THANK YOU, MAYOR. UM SO I'VE WALKED INTO A PRETTY GOOD SITUATION HERE EVEN THOUGH YOU GUYS HAD THREE TIMES THE AMOUNT OF FUNDS THAT I'VE EVER ORGANIZED BEFORE. FOR ANOTHER CITY. UM, I WAS COMPLETELY SURPRISED. BUT WHAT I'VE LEARNED AND THE MAIN THING I'M GOING TO HIGHLIGHT ABOUT THIS IS THE REASON WHY THERE'S SO MANY FUNDS IS BECAUSE. MOST OF THESE ARE FUNDING DIFFERENT SOURCES AND PROGRAMS. AND SO, UM DREW AND MANY OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE THEY HAD THE FORETHOUGHT TO THINK OF. LET'S FIND OTHER WAYS TO FUND THINGS IN JUST PROPERTY TAXES, SO. MOST OF THESE HAVE ORGANICALLY COME OUT OF. LET'S FIND OTHER WAYS TO FUND THESE SERVICES. AND WHAT ARE THE WAYS THAT WE CAN DO IT NOW? EVERYTHING LISTED UNDER PUBLIC SPACES. PUBLIC SAFETY SPECIAL REVENUE FUND. THAT'S THE STATE'S FAULT. SO IF YOU GET A DOLLAR FOR THIS, UM. FOR COURT OR FOR POLICE. THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE TWO THIRDS OF THAT, SO EVERYTHING UNDER THERE IS THEIR FAULT CAPITAL PROJECTS AND

[01:45:02]

A BIG PART OF THAT FALLS UNDER TRANSPARENCY AND OTHER THINGS, BUT ACCOUNTING TAKES UP A GOOD PART OF THE TIME, BUT IT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE SLOWER GROWING PARTS OF THIS. BUDGET BUDGET IS AND WE HAVE INCREASINGLY COMPLEX BUDGETS HERE WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT FUNDS PAYROLL PAYROLLS, PRETTY ROUTINE, REGIMENTED THING, AND WE WILL DO THAT IN HOUSE AND IT'S NOT TOO EXPENSIVE. AND SO THAT'S VERY NICE AND THEN TREASURY. MANAGING YOUR BANKING ACCOUNTS AND MAKING SURE THEY'RE GETTING GOOD RETURN ON INVESTMENT YIELD, BUT ALSO MAKING SURE THAT IF YOU PUT IN A DOLLAR IN HERE WE CAN MEASURE WHERE IT GOES AND WHAT IT BELONGS TO. SO HAVING THAT MANY COMPLEX FUNDS YOU NEED TO ALSO KNOW WHERE YOUR MONEY IS GOING.

AND SO IT CAN'T JUST BE, YOU KNOW, DUMP IT IN ONE BUCKET. SHAKING WHATEVER COMES OUT, WE'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS. IT'S MAKING SURE THAT YOU'RE NOW NOT OVERBURDENING YOUR GENERAL FUND WITH SOME OF YOUR OTHER FUNDS. AND SO THIS IS A BIG TRACKING FUNCTION THAT COMES WITH ACCOUNTING. SO ACCOMPLISHMENTS OR FISCAL YEAR 2021 WE SUBMITTED FOR ABOUT THE GF WAY BUDGET AWARD AND THE AUDIT AWARD. SO THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME IN THE TOWN THAT WE'D BE ABLE SUBMIT FOR BOTH OF THOSE AT ONCE IN A YEAR, AND SO THOSE ARE BOTH UNDER REVIEW RIGHT NOW. I JUST GOT A LETTER LAST WEEK THAT THEY HAVE OFFICIALLY RECEIVED MY, UM. ME SUBMITTING FOR THE AWARD FOR THE AUDIT THAT I DID THREE MONTHS AGO. SO, 10 DAYS AGO, WE GOT TO NOTICE THEY GOT IT. THAT'S GOOD. SO IT TAKES THEM A LITTLE BIT OF TIME. UM BUT THAT'S A LONG, LONG DOCUMENTS AND, UM. MUCH, MUCH BIGGER. CPAS IMMEDIATELY GO OUT AND REVIEW THAT FOR US SO. WE TRANSITION TO A NEW AUDIT FIRM. THIS WAS A BIG DEAL, AND THIS IS ONE OF THE COUNCIL DIRECTIVES. AND SO WITH THE NEW AUDIT FIRM, THEY'VE GIVEN US A LOT OF GOOD FEEDBACK. THEY TOLD US HOW WE CAN GET BETTER. AND SO I ALWAYS APPRECIATE AUDIT FIRMS DOING THAT BECAUSE THERE'S ALWAYS THINGS THAT WE CAN IMPROVE ON. DIGITIZATION AND AUTUMN IZATION OF NEW REST. UM NEW RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS SET UP. SO THE FIRST THING I SAW HERE, WHAT I GOT HERE IS ONE WE NEEDED A USUALLY RATE STUDY BECAUSE WE HADN'T TOUCHED IT IN ABOUT 10 YEARS, AND THE OTHER ONE WAS THAT WE NEEDED TO AUTOMATE THE AMOUNT OF PAPER WE HAD COMING IN. WE NEED TO FIND WAYS THAT WE AREN'T PASSING PAPER AROUND. 1000 ACCOUNTS A YEAR WILL BURY YOU IN PAPERWORK. THERE ARE SO MANY MULTIPLE PIECES OF THAT PAPERWORK AND SO FINDING WAYS THAT WE CAN DIGITIZE THAT SO THAT WE'RE NOT ACCEPTING, UM.

JUST PAPER THROUGHOUT THE DOOR, SO THAT INFORMATION IS AUTOMATED AND PUT INTO OUR SYSTEM THAT'S BEEN KIND OF A BIG THING WE FOCUSED ON THIS YEAR AND SO TALKING ABOUT THAT AT A LATER DATE OR LATER COUNCIL MEETING JUST TELLING YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT WAS INVOLVED IN THAT, BUT BRINGING THOSE THINGS ONLINE, WHERE SOMEONE COULD FILL OUT A UTILITY APPLICATION ON THEIR PHONE FOR ALL OF THEIR SERVICES, INCLUDING TRASH AND SUBMIT THAT ONLINE TO US AND NEVER HAVE TO INTERACT AND COME IN ABILITY, ESPECIALLY DURING COVID. THAT WAS A BIG DEAL, AND THAT'S THAT'S ACTUALLY HELPED US A WHOLE BUNCH. AND IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE HAVEN'T HAD A HIGHER END NEW STAFFERS AND MIDWAY THROUGH LAST YEAR, SO YOU'LL SEE THAT WITH SOME OF THE GROWTH UM 2022 GOALS. WE WANT FOR NEW EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTS AND UTILITY BILLING PROCESS I'VE DISCUSSED WITH MY STAFF ALREADY WORKING ON FOR THIS WEEK. WE HAVE A LOT MORE THAN THAT, BUT WE'RE CONSTANTLY LOOKING AHEAD ON WAYS THAT WE CAN GET BETTER BECAUSE. OR ANOTHER PERSON SHOULDN'T BE OUR FIRST ANSWER.

IT SHOULD BE KIND OF OUR LAST ONE AND SO FINDING WAYS THAT WE CAN DO THAT THAT IMPROVES BUT IF YOU'VE EVER TRIED TO MAKE EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTS, IT'S ONE STEP FORWARD. TWO STEPS BACK, AND THEN YOU GET A LITTLE BETTER ABOUT STEPPING FORWARD. SO. IT TAKES SOME TIME AND SOME PATIENTS, BUT THE. THE INTERN THAT YOU ALLOWED US TO BRING FULL TIME HAS REALLY BEEN HELPFUL IN DOING SOME OF THOSE PROJECTS THIS LAST YEAR, AND WE'LL PUBLISH THIS NEXT YEAR.

CREATING THE POPULAR ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORTS. SO. READING THAT AUDIT DOCUMENT. IF ANY OF YOU DID THAT AND DIDN'T FALL ASLEEP, DOING IT, IT'S TOO HARD TO READ FOR MOST RESIDENTS.

THEY'VE ACTUALLY MADE A SHORTENED ONE. AND SO IT SUMMARIZES. IT'S ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE PAGES AND EXPLAINS EVERYTHING IN VERY SHORT, DESCRIPT DETAIL ABOUT WHAT'S IN IT. IT'S ALSO A G F WE AWARD THAT WE SPENT FOR AND SO IT'S. MY GOAL IS TO PRODUCE THAT AS WELL AS AS EIGHT. TAKE AWAY FROM THE AUDIT DOCUMENTS SO THAT WE CAN EXPLAIN TO OUR RESIDENTS WHERE THEIR MONEY WENT AND HOW WE'RE DOING. AND THEN LASTLY, THIS WILL BE A BIG

[01:50:01]

YOUR CHILDREN. I MEAN, IT'S THAT BIG, AND THAT'S GROWING THAT QUICKLY. AND SO THAT'S THAT'S A BIG GOLD IN CONJUNCTION OF THE TIME MANAGER'S OFFICE. SO THE ONE BIG THING I'M ASKING FOR, AND WE'RE HOPING TO FIND IT THIS YEAR FROM CASH AND EXCESS REVENUES IS OPENING OF CLOUD UPGRADE WE CURRENTLY USE OPEN GOT AS OUR FINANCIAL ER P, WHICH IS JUST OUR FINANCIAL SOFTWARE. IT INTEGRATES WITH A LOT OF DIFFERENT OTHER PIECES AND HAS ADDED TO SOME OF THE ORGANIZATION. BUT THE BIG THING WOULD BE THAT IT'S HOSTED ON THEIR SERVERS, WHICH PROTECTS US DURING DISASTERS LIKE AN ICE STORM WHEN OUR SERVERS GO DOWN BECAUSE OF POWER OUTAGES HERE IN TEXAS, WE. WE LOST ACCESS TO BE ABLE TO DO PAYROLL VERY QUICKLY, AND WE HAD HAD POLICE CARS AND PICK PEOPLE UP. MAKE SURE WE COULD PROCESS AND HOW TO COME IN THE BUILDING. SO THAT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT WILL HELP US. IT ALSO HELPS OUR CUSTOMERS BECAUSE IF OUR SERVERS AROUND HERE, THEY COULDN'T GIVE PAY UTILITY BILLS. THEY COULDN'T DO ANY OF THOSE THINGS. THEY COULDN'T EVEN CONTACT US BY PHONE. SO THIS IS WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MOVING TO THE FUTURE, BUT IT'S ALSO TO GET SOME OF THE UPGRADES AND IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SOFTWARE. SO THIS WILL BRING US FORWARD AND ALSO GIVE US A BUDGET SOFTWARE BUILT INTO IT. THAT CAN PROJECT OUT FIVE YEARS. SO.

AND THAT'S THE MAIN REQUEST THAT I HAVE, AND THIS WILL PAY FOR THAT UPGRADE. I'M ASKING FOR THIS, BECAUSE AS YOU CAN SEE JUST THE NUMBER OF ITEMS PROCESSED, UM FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021. IT'S JUST INCREASING AND THESE ARE UTILITY ACCOUNTS. THAT'S MAINLY WHAT'S INCREASING. AMOUNT OF PAYMENTS THAT WE PROCESS EVERY SINGLE DAY. THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE USING THIS CHECKS NOW WE'RE PUSHING EVERYBODY ONLINE. THAT'S WHAT YOU CAN SEE BY THE OTHER GRAPHIC PAYMENT TYPE. YOU SEE THAT GROWING BLUISH GREEN BAR ON TOP. THAT IS THE GROWTH THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO AND CAPTURED TO MOVE PEOPLE TO ELECTRONIC PAYMENTS BECAUSE EVERY EVERY TIME SO IT MAKES A PAYMENT ONLINE. THAT'S THAT'S ONE LESS PIECE OF PAPER. WE HAVE TO PROCESS AND THAT WILL COME IN AUTOMATICALLY SO. WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WHENEVER YOU COME IN AND SIGN UP FOR SERVICE, YOUR FIRST PAYMENT IS THROUGH OUR PAYMENT SOFTWARE, AND YOU GUYS AUTHORIZED US TO WAIVE ALL CREDIT CARD FEES ON THIS, SO IT INCREASES PEOPLE USING THOSE ONLINE SERVICES AND. BEEN ONE OF THE BIGGER EFFICIENCY PUSHES AS WE'VE SEEN. SO EVERY NEW CUSTOMER WHO COMES IN MAKES THEIR FIRST PAYMENT ONLINE. THEY'RE MORE LIKELY TO MAKE THAT NEXT PAYMENT ONLINE IN THE SIGN UP FOR AUTO PAYMENT, SO THAT'S BEEN REALLY IMPORTANT, BUT THAT'S THE MAIN REASON I'M. REQUESTING THIS IS BECAUSE SOFTWARE HELPS US DO THIS JOB BETTER, QUICKER, MORE EFFICIENT, EASIER AND LESS PEOPLE. LOT OF THAT IS ALSO ONE TIME COSTS. SO THAT OF THE 95,000. MOST OF THAT IS JUST ONE TIME COST. THE TOTAL OPERATING INCREASE PER YEAR IS ABOUT 24,000 SO. THAT 95,000 WOULD BRING US TO THE FIRST YEAR AND COVER THAT. HAVE A QUICK QUESTION ON THAT, JOHN, IF YOU DON'T MIND, UM, WHERE THEIR SERVERS LOCATED, UM, THERE'S IN PARTICULAR SO OPEN GOAT CLOUD. THEY'RE BASED IN CALIFORNIA. OKAY BECAUSE SOMETHING SAFE TO FREEZE COULD HAPPEN TO US AND THEIR SERVERS ARE IN TEXAS THAT COULD HAPPEN TO THEM TO WHAT PROTECTS THEM. FROM OR WHAT PROTECTS IT, AND I THINK THEY HAVE. AGREEMENTS WITH OTHER AREAS SO WE'LL FOLLOW UP WITH THAT. BUT I BELIEVE THEIR COMPANY IS IN CALIFORNIA, BUT THEY THEY USE OF SERVER FARMS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. GOOD QUESTION. YES, THEY AGREE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO PROVIDE BACKUP SO THAT WE NEVER HAD LAPSES IN SERVICE, WHICH IS A BIG DEAL FOR US. SO LASTLY, FINANCES A NEWLY CREATED APARTMENT WHENEVER YOU GET TO THE TOP MANAGERS BUDGET, HE'S THE ONLY ONE THAT SHRINKS.

BUT THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS IS THIS IS RIGHT ACROSS THE GENERAL FUND IN THE UTILITY FUNDS, UM, A LITTLE BIT IN THE DEBT SERVICE FUND. BUT OVERALL, THIS IS OUR BUDGET. IT'S NOT INCREASING THAT MUCH YEAR OVER YEAR. UM THE BIGGEST CHANGE IS JUST, YOU KNOW, CHANGES AND HEY, AND, UM INFLATION THAT WE SEE ANOTHER THINGS LIKE AUDIT SERVICES, OR PARTY CONTRACTING SERVICES, SO THAT'S THAT'S IT FOR MY PRESENTATION. QUESTIONS. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO TO HELP THAT 7000 SOMEWHAT PEOPLE THAT PAY MANUALLY TO ELECTRONICALLY. IS THERE A STRATEGY THAT WE CAN? BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE A COST SAVINGS. IF WE CAN DO THAT, RIGHT, SO, YES, WE DO CAMPAIGNS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT. HEY YOU CAN PAY US THROUGH THIS DIGITALLY. WE DON'T CHARGE FEES. WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT SO. THERE'S PEOPLE WHO DO GIVE US PAPER CHECKS AND EVERYTHING WE SEND THEM NOTIFICATIONS THE MAIL AND SAYS, HEY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO KEEP USING THIS AND DOING THIS. UM YOU CAN. YOU CAN MOVE TO PAPERLESS AND PROCESS IT FOR US. BUT. THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT GET GREAT SECURITY AND BRINGING THEIR CHECK AND THE CHECK STUB AND HANDING IT TO YOU IN PERSON, NOT JUST NAILING IT TWO YEARS, SO THERE'S SOME SECURITY THERE FOR SOME PEOPLE, AND IF THAT'S WEIRD, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A CHALLENGE ON SOME OF THEM. WE HAVE SOME FAVORITES THAT THEY'D LIKE TO COME IN YET. OH, YES. OH, YES. GOOD JOB. THANK YOU. OUR NEXT COST CENTER IS, UH, DEVELOPMENT.

THIS INCLUDES PUBLIC WORKS AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. REMEMBER, ERIC TOLD YOU UH,

[01:55:06]

WHICH DO I'M APPRECIATIVE YOU'VE BEEN KEEPING THE EFFICIENCY OF BOTH THESE DEPARTMENTS MOVING IN THE POSITIVE DIRECTION, AND I KNOW YOU'RE WEARING A LOT OF HATS.

AND WE'RE STRETCHING YOU THIN FOR A WHILE, BUT I APPRECIATE IT BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO STAY IN THIS BUILDING ANOTHER YEAR. AND NOW AS WE LOOK TO HAVE TO EXPAND, BEING ABLE TO JUST KEEP IT CONTAINED FOR ONE MORE YEAR IS A BIG BENEFIT TO OUR BUDGET. INTO OUR RESIDENTS.

SO THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING. THANK YOU FOR KEEPING YOUR EYE ON THE BALL AND APPRECIATE YOUR STAFF AS WELL. THEY'RE ALWAYS FUN TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH THANK YOU. SO SOME CORE FUNCTIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT. THESE ARE KIND OF IN ORDER OF TIME. CONSUMPTION DEFINITELY. NUMBER ONE IS BUILDING PERMITS AND INSPECTIONS. BEHIND THAT PLANNING AND ZONING. AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CODE COMPLIANCE AND THEN HEALTH INSPECTIONS. WE'VE GOT FOUR EMPLOYEES IN THE DEPARTMENT CURRENTLY. BESIDES ME, THE OTHER THREE OR TWO DEDICATED TO, UH, PERMITTING PRIMARILY, AND CODE COMPLIANCE POSITION.

SO SOME ACCOMPLISHMENTS THIS YEAR INCLUDE THE ANNEXATION OF 372 ACRES. UH THE BULK OF THAT THIS IS IN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT ANNEXATIONS. BUT THE BULK OF THAT WAS IN THE TWO

[02:00:02]

UH, WHEN WE LOST OUR PLANNER LAST YEAR, WE CONVERTED THAT OVER TO A NEW. POSITION TO HANDLE PERMITS BECAUSE ACTIVITY AND JUST. GONE UP SO MUCH, BUT THE PLANNING ACTIVITY IS STILL REMAIN, AND WE STILL NEED. I NEED SOME HELP WITH THAT. SO THAT IS WHY WE'RE REQUESTING FOR THIS POSITION AGAIN. YOU'LL NOTICE THAT BOTH OF THESE ARE FOR THREE QUARTERS OF THE YEAR AND, AS THE MAYOR TALKED ABOUT WERE. WE'RE OUT OF ROOM. WE NEED A NEW BUILDING FOR THESE POSITIONS. AND PROBABLY BEST CASE SCENARIO THAT BUILDING WON'T BE AVAILABLE EXCEPT FOR THREE QUARTERS OF THE FISCAL YEAR. THE PLANNER WILL TAKE ON DEVELOPMENT REVIEW FUNCTION AND WILL ASSIST WITH THE NEW PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS, WHICH.

ADDED MORE MEETINGS TO THE MONTHS TO PREPARE FOR AND TO ATTEND. THE DEVELOPMENT ANALYSTS AND GRANT COORDINATOR POSITION. THIS IS A AND. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT POSITION THAT I WAS REALLY THINKING ABOUT REQUESTING MAYBE IN A COUPLE OF YEARS, BUT. WE WERE ABLE TO GET FUNDING FROM THE AMERICAN AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN. AND THAT WILL BE ABLE TO FUND 50% OF THIS POSITION FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS TO KIND OF GROW INTO THAT THE OTHER 50% WILL BE PAID FOR FROM THE CDC AND THE C D. C. SO THE PRIMARY FUNCTIONS OF THIS POSITION WILL BE TO ADMINISTER THAT AARP PROGRAM AND TO ENSURE FEDERAL COMPLIANCE WITH THAT. AND THEN TO ASSIST WITH ABC AND CDC AND THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES. BUSINESS RECRUITMENT. SO HERE ARE WORKLOAD MEASURES AS YOU CAN SEE, PERMIT ACTIVITY. THIS CONTINUES TO GROW. NOT AS MUCH AS ERIKS METER, SAYS. SO ALONG WITH THAT WE'RE SEEING INCREASED BUSINESS ACTIVITY. THAT'S WHAT THE CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY OR ISSUED TWO NEW BUSINESSES. AND WE'RE CONTINUING TO SEE A GOOD NUMBER OF ACRES PLANTED. MULCH WILL EVENTUALLY TURN INTO TWO NEW BUSINESSES AND SOME RESIDENTIAL PERMITS AS WELL. AND FINALLY,

[02:05:10]

WANT TO GO BACK. JUST A SECOND. I FORGOT TO HIGHLIGHT THIS, BUT YOU'LL SEE THE EXCESS REVENUE GENERATED FROM THE DEVELOPMENT COST CENTER. IT'S OVER $800,000 FOR 2022. SO. NOW WE'RE GOING TO PUBLIC SAFETY SHOWS WHERE SOME OF THAT EXCESS REVENUE GOES, SAID IT GOES PARTIALLY TO SUBSIDIZE AND AS I SHOWED YOU THAT FIRST BAR SLIDE, UM ARE.

ALL OUR ALL OUR OWN M PROPERTY TAX ALL OUR GENERAL FUND SALES TAX. ALL OUR MUNICIPAL COURT FINE FEES CONTRACT SERVICES HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX FOR THE OVERTIME FOR THE RACE WEEKEND.

THAT STILL DOESN'T COVER POLICE IN COURT. AND SO EVEN IT IS SLIGHTLY SUBSIDIZED BY DEVELOPMENT REVENUE AND THAT DEVELOPMENT REVENUE WILL ULTIMATELY TURN INTO PROPERTY VALUE. BUT SO YEAH. NEXT DEPARTMENT IS POLICE. GREAT SHOT OF THE. THE DEPARTMENT AND, UH, ROBERT DOESN'T LIKE THIS FLARE. SO SLIDE, BUT WE DID THIS. UH, WE DID THIS A WHILE BACK. WE DID THIS AT THE REQUEST OF A FORMER. COUNCIL MEMBER. WE'VE GOT A WE HAD A REPUTATION AND IT'S ALL BASED ON HOW YOU CALCULATE. BUT I WON'T USE THE TERM, BUT THEY TAKE THE NUMBER OF SPEEDING TYPE CITATIONS DIVIDED BY YOUR POPULATION WHERE WE HAD A VERY SMALL POPULATION, BUT WE HAD A NUMBER OF FREEWAYS IN FARM TO MARKET ROADS GOING THROUGH HERE, SO. THIS IS THIS IS THE MPH OVER THE SPEED LIMIT. SO. THERE'S NOT ONE THAT DOESN'T START UNTIL 10 MPH OVER THE SPEED LIMIT, AND THAT'S A 30 MILE PER HOUR ZONE. SO THAT PERSON WAS GOING 40. YOU CAN FIGURE THAT OUT. AND THEN ONCE YOU GET INTO THE DARK BLUE INTO 70 MILES AN HOUR, THAT'S ALL ON 35 W SO, UM UM. WE WANT TO FOCUS AND ROBERT'S GOING TO FOCUS THIS NEXT FISCAL YEAR ON SPEED ENFORCEMENT. WE DID THAT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE MANY NEIGHBORHOODS AND WE HAD A FEW AND WE COVER THOSE WELL. AND THEN AS NEIGHBORHOODS GREW, UH.

ROBERT FOCUSED ON COMMUNITY. PATROLS AND BEING IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS. AND WE HAVE OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS AS THESE NEIGHBORS NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE GROWN. WE'VE HAD COMPLAINTS ABOUT SPEEDING, AND WE WANT INCREASED ENFORCEMENT. SO WE NEED TO DO BOTH. AND ROBERTS HAS A PLAN TO DO BOTH. WELL, SO ROBERT THANK YOU. SEE BEFORE YOU GET ROLLING. UM I GUESS A SET OF PRECEDENTS. WE NEED TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT EVERYBODY. MAKE SURE IT IS GOOD. I'M STRUGGLING HERE. IF YOU GIVE ME A FEW TEXTS TO LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU WANT ME TO SAY. OUR NOW, THIS IS AN EASY ONE. UM YOU BECOME A TRUSTED, CONFIDENT AND AN ADVISOR. TO ME, IT MATTERS OF POLICING. IT'S BEEN THOROUGH, UM, BEEN BALANCED AND YOUR OFFICERS HAVE BEEN TERRIFIC.

AND PROFESSIONAL IN MY INTERACTIONS WITH THEM, AND PARTICULARLY THIS LAST YEAR, I THINK THEY THEY HAVE REALLY SHOWN THEMSELVES STRONG AND GROWN AS A AS A COMMUNITY.

POLICE FORCE ADAPTING TO COVID WAS RATHER ADAPTING THE UNCERTAINTIES OF COVID. AND NOT SURE WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO WHAT WE NEEDED TO SPEND HOW WE NEEDED TO ENFORCE AND DO THE JOB WITH THOSE UNCERTAINTIES HANGING OVER YOUR HEADS AND BEING OUT THERE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT THAT THAT'S REALLY SOMETHING ELSE. AND OF COURSE, EVERY POLICE DEPARTMENT HAD TO DO THAT. BUT I'M ESPECIALLY PROUD OF THE WAY THAT YOU'VE HANDLED THE DEPARTMENT AND I APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR LONG SERVICE WITH THE TOWN. IT'S CREATED A LOT OF STABILITY, AND THAT REVERBERATES THROUGH THE RANKS SO. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORKS ON ACQUIRING GOOD TALENT. I'VE BEEN EXTREMELY IMPRESSED WITH THE LAST ROUND OF OFFICERS. TO THE ONES BEFORE, UM, WEREN'T THE SAME. BUT THEIR STORIES ARE IMPRESSIVE. AND HOW THEY GET

[02:10:01]

ACCIDENT INVESTIGATIONS. GOING TO INVESTIGATE CRASHES SO FAR YEAR TODAY WE'VE HAD 118. IN NORTH LAKE. COMPARED TO 100 AND 32 IN 2020 FOR THE WHOLE YEAR. SO I ASSUME THAT THIS 118 WILL INCREASE AS WE GO FORWARD THIS YEAR SO SELF 3.5 MONTHS LEFT. HE WANTS TO DO THEY ASK EXIT INVESTIGATION REPORT THAT TO THE STATE AND SOMETIMES IT TURNS INTO A CRIMINAL MATTER, DEPENDING ON THE CAUSE. THE ACCIDENT THAT'S WOULD GO TO THE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS INVESTIGATE THE CRIMES OBTAINED SEARCH WARRANTS, SUBPOENAS, ANOTHER LEGAL DOCUMENTS.

OBTAINED ARREST WARRANTS AND SEEK OUT THE SUBJECTS NOW. OUR CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DIVISION.

RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE ONE PERSON THERE AND SHE'S BEEN DOING A BANG UP JOB. I MEAN, SHE'S SHE'S GOT A HEAVY CASE LOAD AND SHE'S HAD SOME REALLY SERIOUS CASES. WE HAD A DOUBLE FATALITY ACCIDENT ON 35. IT TURNED INTO A CRIMINAL MATTER. WE HAD A UH, GRANDMOTHER AND GRANDCHILD KILLED. AND A THREE YEAR OLDEST, SEVERELY INJURED SPENT SEVERAL MONTHS AND I SEE WE'RE STILL WORKING WITH THE FAMILY. UM TRYING TO GET. WE'RE WORKING ON A FEDERAL CASE RIGHT NOW, THEN WE'RE ALSO WORKING ON A STATE CASE AGAINST THE PERSON SO, BUT SHE'S BEEN WORKING HARD IN THAT IN THAT, AND THAT'S JUST THAT'S JUST ONE CASE AND IT MIGHT TAKE YEARS BEFORE THAT WAS RESOLVED.

ASK A QUESTION? SURE. UM, REGARDING NUMBER THREE ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION. YOU SAID YOU HAVE 118 YEAR TO DATE. WHAT'S THE MAJORITY OF EXIT WITH THE LOCATION OF THE MAJORITY OF MOST OF THEM ARE ON 35. WE ARE STARTING TO SEE MORE. IN SOME OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS BECAUSE.

PEOPLE ARE RUNNING STOP SIGNS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, OR IT COULD BE ON 471 14. WE'VE SEEN A FEW 11 71 IN CLEVELAND. GIBBS. WE'VE SEEN A FEW MAJORITY AROUND 35 IN. I WOULD SAY, DON'T QUOTE NEWT IS OBVIOUSLY 30 TO 40% ARE SINGLE VIDEO TO ACCIDENTS, PEOPLE NOT PAYING ATTENTION. RUNNING IN THE BACK OF SOMEBODY FALLING ASLEEP, GOING OVER ON SHOULDER AND GETTING A GUARD RAIL. JUST DIFFERENT VARIATIONS, VACCINES, BUT QUITE A FEW. I'M SURE THERE ARE. THEY DON'T ADMIT IT, BUT I'M SURE SURE THERE ARE. SO I JUST WANT TO, YOU KNOW, TALK ABOUT DETECTIVE PRESSURE. I MEAN, SHE'S DOING A FABULOUS JOB THERE, AND I'LL BE GLAD TO GET HER SOME MORE HELP THIS YEAR. THE LAST THING IS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. TRYING TO PICK IT UP LAST. ERIN 2021 HAD SEVEN EVENTS A LOT OF SHUT DOWN BECAUSE OF COVID. SO FAR THIS YEAR. WE'VE DONE 13. WE'VE GOT TWO PLANNED IN JULY WITH PECAN SQUARE. SOME OF OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS WE STARTED A BICYCLE PROGRAM THIS YEAR. WE HAVE TWO OFFICERS THAT I'VE BEEN TO BICYCLE SCHOOL. AND IT. IT'S FUNNY. I HAD TO SEND OFFICERS TO BICYCLE SCHOOLS, BUT THEY HAVE TO RIDE SEVERAL MILES A DAY. THAT'S RIGHT UPSTAIRS THAT LEARNED HOW TO SHOOT FROM THEIR BICYCLES. THEY HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO STOP PEOPLE WITH THIS FLEEING ON BICYCLES. I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT GO INTO IT, SO IT'S A 24 HOUR SCHOOLS THAT THEY GO THROUGH. 30 TO OUR SCHOOL. AND WE HAVE WE HAVE TWO BIKES RIGHT NOW. WE'RE HOPING TO GET TWO MORE IN THE FUTURE AND HAVE AT LEAST THREE MORE OFFICERS TRAINED. AND THEY CAN, YOU KNOW, HELP OUT PATROLS ON TRAILS BECAUSE THE NEIGHBORHOODS PARKING LOTS AT NIGHT THINGS LIKE THAT. SO WE'RE LOOKING FOR IT'S KIND OF AN INTERESTING THAT PROCESS,

[02:15:01]

HAVE MADE A SWAT TEAM COME OUT THAT THAT WE WOULD CALL IN IF WE NEEDED TO AND SHOW WHAT THEY DO, BUT ALSO GO THROUGH, LIKE OUR CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS HAVE WALKED THROUGH A CASE WHERE IT TAKES TO PROSECUTE A CASE HAD THE DA'S OFFICE COME DOWN. LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT JUST TO FAMILIARIZE PEOPLE GET AND LET THEM GET TO KNOW WHAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT DOES. AND. ROBERT WOMAN TO INVITE THE COUNCIL, BUT WE CAN'T HAVE ALL THE COUNCIL AT ONCE. SO IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, LET US KNOW AND IT WOULD BE GOOD TO KIND OF, UH, STAIR STEP OR ROTATE THE COUNCIL MEMBERS THROUGH. SOME OF OUR GOALS THIS YEAR. I WANT TO HAVE A BALLISTIC SHIELDS IN ALL THE PATROL VEHICLES. WE HAVE A FEW IN THERE RIGHT NOW. THE REASON WHY YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN ON NEWS HERE LATELY, BURLESON HAD A POLICE OFFICER SHOOT SHOT.

GETTING SAID ONE SHOT. FIREMAN'S HAD TWO SHOOTINGS WITHIN THE LAST FEW MONTHS INVOLVING POLICE OFFICERS TO ROME POLICE OFFICER GOT SHOT THE OTHER DAY, HIS PERPETRATORS ACTUALLY CAUGHT IN ARKANSAS YESTERDAY OR THIS MORNING. BALLISTIC SHIELDS ARE ARE VERY HANDY WE'VE HAD IN THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF. WE'VE HAD 14 DEADLY CONDUCT CALLS 28 ASSAULT CALLS IN 245 DISTURBANCE CALLS. AND THOSE WOULD BE VERY HANDY TO HAVE WHEN YOU'RE WALKING UP ON. SOMEONE WHO POSSIBLY HAS A WEAPON. OR, UM, YOU KNOW, WE JUST LIKE TO HAVE SOME KIND OF BARRIER BETWEEN US AND THEN. THIS DOESN'T EVEN INCLUDE ATTEMPTED SUICIDES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. ANOTHER THING IS I'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR YEARS. IT SEEMS LIKE. SUBMIT POLICIES TO THE T P A TO BECOME A RECOGNIZED AGENCY. THEY'RE ONLY ABOUT 200 AGENCIES IN TEXAS.

RIGHT NOW THEY'RE RECOGNIZED THE TEXAS POLICE CHIEFS ASSOCIATION OUT OF PROBABLY ABOUT 18 OR 1900. IT'S A VERY, UM STRENUOUS PROCESS. THERE'S 166 BEST PRACTICES THAT YOU HAVE TO MEET. I WOULD SAY WE'RE PROBABLY IN THE 90 TO 95% RANGE OF GETTING THAT RIGHT NOW.

WE'VE WE'VE ALWAYS TRIED TO HOLD OUR STANDARDS TO THE SAME AS THAT, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVEN'T BECOME A RECOGNIZED AGENCY, WE FOLLOW THEIR POLICIES. SO I'M HOPING THAT WE CAN GET THAT DONE SOMETIME NEXT YEAR. IT'S THE FIRST YEAR IT COSTS $500. BUT TML HAS A GRANT THAT WILL PAY FOR THAT YOUR FIRST YEAR. IT'S AN ADDITIONAL 500. IT'S THAT'S EVERY FOUR YEARS. YOU'RE AUDITED BY. CHIEFS THAT COME IN AND LOOK AT YOUR AGENCY AND WE'LL SAY OKAY, ARE YOU FOLLOWING ALL THESE STANDARDS AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE PROOF THAT YOU HAVE DONE IT OVER THAT LAST FOUR YEARS? SO IT'S REALLY A GOOD. LACK OF VETERANS FEATHER IN THE CAP THAT OUR

[02:20:05]

AND WE'VE HAD 34 THROUGH DISPATCH. WE'VE HAD ALMOST 60 COMPLAINTS SO FAR THIS YEAR.

JUST ABOUT NO TRAFFIC ISSUES. AND A LOT OF THAT IS IN THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS. SO THAT'S WHERE THE HE WILL OR SHE WILL FOCUS. TECHNOLOGY REQUEST. REQUESTING 10 S AND THAT'S FOR E INDUSTRIAL AND HOTELS AND APARTMENT AREA. WE HAVE ABOUT 23 TO 25% OF OUR CRIME.

ENCOURAGE DOWN THERE. THAT'S ABOUT 23 TO 25% OF OUR CALL. VOLUME IS IN THAT AREA. I THINK THAT WOULD BE AN APPROPRIATE PLACE AND THAT WOULD ALMOST COVER EVERY ENTRANCE AND EXIT IN THAT AREA. WHAT THESE LAST FIVE M DO IF IT IF YOU GET A STOLEN VEHICLE IF YOU GET. A T.

C S AND S WARRANT. OR THINGS LIKE THAT. WARD. SOME KIND OF MAJOR INSTANCES TAGGED THAT LIFE SPLIT. IT WILL ALERT US WITHIN FIVE SECONDS THAT THEY'RE THAT VEHICLES IN THAT AREA. IT SENDS A PICTURE OF THE VEHICLE AND LICENSE PLATE OR THE BACK END OF THE VEHICLE AND THE LICENSE PLATE, SO WE'LL KNOW WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR, AND ABOUT THE APPROXIMATE AREA WHERE THEY ARE. AGAINST DADDY AND PATROL LAPTOPS. WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO WORK GOT THEM ON ORDER ALREADY. WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO FILL OUR LAST. CUBICLE IN THE PATROL AREA WITH THE THIRD SPOT. WATCH GUARD CLOUD STORAGE SYSTEM. THIS COULD DOWNLOAD ALL OF OUR VIDEOS, BODYCAM VIDEOS AND IN CAR VIDEOS. IT TAKES UP A LOT OF STORAGE SPACE AND WE'VE BEEN IN OUR STORAGE SPACE THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. WITH OUR SERVER WE HAVE. WE'RE ALWAYS AT 95 TO 97% CAPACITY. WE'RE ALMOST MAXED OUT. WE HAVE THE CLOUD STORAGE SYSTEM IS UNLIMITED. WE CAN PUT AS MUCH VIDEO AS GOING ON THERE. IT'S NOT HELD ON SIDE. I THINK IT'S THROUGH. UH, REMEMBER IT'S WATCH CARTER TASER, BUT THIS THROUGH AMAZON WEB SERVICES. WHICH WAS ONE OF THE BIGGER COMPANIES WHERE EVERYBODY SERVES HER STUFF ANYWAY. THE OTHER THING IS THAT TASER UPGRADE. CURRENTLY WE HAVE WHAT'S CALLED X 26 P TASERS. THEY'RE NOT, UM I WOULD BE. FIXING THOSE ANYMORE, THE KIND OF GOING OUT OF OUT OF SERVICE SO WE'RE GOING TO UPGRADE TO THE TASER SEVENS IF IT'S APPROVED. THESE ARE A LOT MORE FUNCTIONAL. THEY HAVE.

LITTLE BIT MORE KICK TO GET THROUGH HEAVY CLOTHING. AND WHAT I'M GOING TO TRY TO JUST TO SAVE MONEY. INSTEAD OF OUTFITTING EVERY OFFICER WITH THE TASER LIKE WE TRY TO DO NOW I'M GONNA GET A BANK OF 10. THAT THE OFFICERS WERE COMING AND. GET ASSIGNED THAT ONE.

IT'S A COST SAVINGS SPREAD ABOUT $40,000. FROM OUTFITTING EVERY OFFICER. NOW THERE MIGHT BE TIMES WHEN WE HAVE A LARGE EVENT WHERE THEY'RE ALL ALL 10 TEACHERS MIGHT BE USED AT THE SAME TIME IF WE HAVE THAT MANY OFFICERS ON THOUGHT ABOUT DOING THAT WITH THE RADIOS. BUT IF WE

[02:25:05]

BECAUSE THERE ARE THE HIGHER MILEAGE THEY'RE GETTING. AS YOU CAN SEE ON HERE, THE TOWN POPULATION AND OUR CONTRACT AREA POPULATION IS INCREASING. 2020 WAS A DIFFERENT YEAR FOR EVERYONE. SO IT'S KIND OF. FLUKE THERE THAT THAT WE DIDN'T GO HIGHER. I'M SURE IF IT'S 2020 WE HAVE IN A NORMAL YEAR, WE WOULD HAVE THREE OR FOUR MORE MONTHS. WHERE ARE OUR STATUE OF A LITTLE BIT HIGHER RIGHT NOW? THE YEARS AND DATE NUMBERS. AREN'T QUITE 20 TWENTIES, BUT I HAVE A FEELING IN THE NEXT 3.5 MONTHS OR SO SINCE IT'S SUMMER, AND WE GET A LOT WORK CALL VOLUME IN THE SUMMER THAT WE'RE GOING TO EITHER MATCH OR SURPASS 2020 NUMBERS. EXPENDITURES, SAME WAY MORE POPULATION. CALLS MORE PERSONNEL COSTS GOING TO GO UP.

AND ALWAYS TRY TO BE CONSERVATIVE IN MY BUDGET. I DON'T BELIEVE IN BUYING THINGS JUST TO BUY THINGS. WANT TO BE RESPECTFUL TO OUR COMMUNITIES, FUNDS THE TAXPAYERS MONEY AND ALSO TO THE COUNCIL BECAUSE. I WANT TO TAKE ALL THE MONEY FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. WE HAVE OTHER DEPARTMENTS AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY GET THEIR RESOURCES AS WELL. MHM.

QUESTION. COUNSELORS. UM DO WE NEED A BREAK FOR A MINUTE? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WE'VE BEEN ROLLING AWHILE, APOLOGIZED LIAN. I'LL SAY SOMETHING NICE. ALL RIGHT. LET'S TAKE LIKE.

THREE MINUTES. LET'S TRY ALL RIT ROLLING. UM SO. GO AHEAD GET IT STARTED LAST BUT NOT LEAST, IS IN MUNICIPAL COURT, AND I PUT THEM IN THE PUBLIC SAFETY COST CENTER BECAUSE THEY WORK THEY WORK HAND IN HAND WITH POLICE. AND OBVIOUSLY, IF. FOUR TRAFFIC TICKETS. UM. THAT'S THAT'S WHO THAT GOES TO, UM, THAT'S THE DEPARTMENT. AND SO I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT LEANNE WENT THROUGH, AND HER COURT DID DURING DURING COVID AND. WE'VE ALL GONE BACK AND REVIEWED THE HISTORY ON THIS, BUT THIS WAS WHAT WAS REQUIRED OF HER AND HER COURT BY THE STATE. AND SO I DON'T WANT TO GET POLITICAL BUT. THIS IS WHAT SHE HAD TO DO SO SHE'S GOING TO WALK THROUGH THIS LITTLE BIT AND THEN GET INTO HER DEPARTMENT. OKAY? BEFORE YOU GET STARTED. I PROMISED I'D SAY SOMETHING NICE NOT BECAUSE I PROMISE BUT BECAUSE YOU DESERVE TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT I SAID. I WILL SAY, YOU KNOW, OF ALL THE DEPARTMENTS HERE.

THERE'S BEEN CHALLENGES WITH EVERY DEPARTMENT IN TERMS OF HOW THEY'RE SERVING CUSTOMERS, THE ONE THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT. WE MIGHT HAVE THE MOST THINGS THAT COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT I THOUGHT COMING IN I WAS GOING TO HEAR ABOUT WOULD BE COURT AND DEALING WITH TICKETS AND FOLLOWING UP ON WARRANTS, AND I HAD TO SAY I'M AMAZED THAT WE DON'T HAVE NEAR AS MANY OF THE CHALLENGES THAT COME TO MY ATTENTION, OR RATHER ANY AT ALL THAT I'VE HAD TO COME TO MY ATTENTION. AND I APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH. SO YOU ARE YOU AND YOUR TEAM ARE EXCELLENT AT WHAT YOU DO, AND I REALLY ENJOYED SITTING WITH YOU ONE DAY AND JUST LISTENING TO THE THINGS YOU ACTUALLY DO BACK THERE. IT'S PRETTY VERY INTERESTING ROLE YOU HAVE, BUT ONE THAT WE REALLY APPRECIATE. SO I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEPARTMENT AS WELL. BUT ALSO FOR YOU, AND FOR YOU KNOW YOUR LONG SERVICE WITH US, SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YEAH, IT WAS KIND OF CRAZY, AND MY INTENTION WAS SO THAT Y'ALL DIDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH ANY OF IT. THERE WAS A LONG LAUNDRY LIST AND THEY'RE LISTED UP ON THE SHUT THAT YOU SEE UP THERE. THEY WANTED US TO JUMP THROUGH EVERY HOPE HE COULD POSSIBLY JUMP THROUGH, INCLUDING. WE WEREN'T ALLOWED STILL ARE JUST FIXING A START DOING JURY TRIALS AGAIN. WE WEREN'T ALLOWED TO DO JURY TRIALS AT ALL DURING THE ENTIRE. ALMOST TWO YEARS, SO. WE WERE ALLOWED TO HAVE COURT ONLY AFTER WE JUMPEDHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRE HOOPS THAT WE HAD TO JUMP THROUGH. I HAD TO GET THE MAYOR TYING OFF. I HAD TO GET THE HEALTH OFFICIALS TO SIGN OFF AND I HAVE TO GET A DISTRICT JUDGE TO SIGN OFF, WHICH ENDED UP BEING THE HARDEST PART OF ALL. BUT ONCE WE DID THAT WE WERE ALLOWED TO ACTUALLY HAVE IN PERSON COURT. INSTEAD OF IN COURT. WHICH IS ACTUALLY MUCH BETTER. A LOT OF THOSE IN COURTS. THEY HAD PEOPLE DOING ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT NOBODY WANTS TO SEE ON ZOOM COURT AND. IT WAS NOT GOOD. SO PLUS, WE DIDN'T REALLY HAVE THE BANDWIDTH TO HANDLE 40 TO 50 PEOPLE SITTING ON HOLD AND WAITING. IT JUST IT WASN'T SOMETHING WE COULD HANDLE. AND SO WE DID THIS INSTEAD. HAD VERY LITTLE DOWNTIME. I WAS SURPRISED BECAUSE WHEN I TALKED TO OTHER COURTS AND GO PLACES THEY WERE ALL BACKLOGGED WHEN

[02:30:05]

THIS COLLECTION AGENCY SEEMS MUCH MORE. WE'RE GOING MORE INTO SKIP, TRACING, DOING A LOT OF THINGS THAT THE OLD COLLECTION AGENCY WAS NOT DOING. THEY'RE ALSO USING SCOFFLAW.

AND WE DON'T HAVE TO DO IT. IT'S NOTHING WE HAVE TO DO. THEY CREATE ALL THAT ON THEIR OWN. AND SO IT'S BEEN WORKING REALLY WELL FOR US, AND I'VE SEEN AN INCREASE. SEEING SOME OF THE OLD WARRANT STARTING TO BE COLLECTED, WHICH IS A GOOD SIGN. IT JUST TOOK US A WHILE TO GET THEM. ON BOARD AND GET EVERYTHING SET UP SO. AND THESE ARE WORKLOAD MEASURES. AND PLEASE DON'T JUDGE OUR DEPARTMENT BY THESE. THESE ARE BASED SOLELY ON THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT WE GET IN AND JUST LIKE THE JUST LIKE, THE POLICE CHIEF SAID. 2020 WAS NOT A GOOD YEAR FOR PRETTY MUCH ANYBODY AS FAR AS WORKLOAD. SO FAR THIS YEAR. WE'RE INCREASING SOMEWHAT, I EXPECT WITHIN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS WE'LL SEE AND EVEN WE'LL SEE IT COME UP EVEN MORE. BUT AS TICKETS INCREASED, THAT'S WHERE OUR WORKLOAD COMES FROM, SO YOU'LL SEE MORE WARRANTS ISSUES YOU'LL SEE MORE CASES DISPOSED. YOU'LL ALSO SEE MORE BALLOT PROMISED APPEARS ISSUES, SO IT'S DIRECTLY RELATED TO HOW MANY CITATIONS WE PROCESS. AND THEN THESE ARE OUR EXPENDITURES. SAME. I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. MAN WAS EASY. SEE? THANK YOU, LEON. APPRECIATE YOU STICKING AROUND THE BRIEFEST TONIGHT. THANKS. THANK YOU, LEANNE. OUR LAST COST CENTER IS ADMINISTRATION. THIS IS KIND OF EVERYTHING THAT'S LEFT OVER. IT ACTUALLY HAS ONE OF THE HIGHER SUBSIDIES BECAUSE POLICE TOOK ALL THEM EARLIER REVENUES. I GUESS WE COULD HAVE TOOKEN ALL THOSE AND SUBSIDIZED POLICEMEN. THIS IS THE REMAINDER OF THE REVENUES. UM AND THESE ARE THE.

REMAINING DEPARTMENTS WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT FINANCE WILL TALK BRIEFLY. MARKETING OUR COORDINATOR, HAS LEFT ON HIS FAMILY VACATION, SO I'LL COVER FOR HIM. OUR TOWN SECRETARY SAID SHE'LL DO HER BRIEFING FROM HER SEAT. BECAUSE. SHE CAN'T SEE OVER THE PODIUM THAT, SHE SAID. I DIDN'T SAY THAT. AND THEN FINALLY, MY OFFICE. UM SO COMMUNICATIONS AND MARKETING. UM. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT STERLING CAME UP WITH. YOU MET HIM AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING. UH, TRYING TO TRY TO TIE TOGETHER AND BECOME BECOME NORTHLAND AND BRING ALL THESE PIECES TOGETHER. AND WE COME OUT. BECOME A HOLISTIC ENTITY INSTEAD OF PEOPLE IDENTIFYING WHERE THEY LIVE. WHAT NEIGHBORHOOD THERE IN EVEN WHAT SUB NEIGHBORHOOD THERE IN TO TRY. TO TRYING TO CREATE THAT IDENTITY, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT. WE'VE CHALLENGED THIS POSITION IS ONE OF THE REASONS THAT COUNCIL GAVE US THIS POSITION TO DO THAT. PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT. THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA, AND ALSO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE NOTICED, BUT STERLING STARTED NEWSLETTER, PUTTING IT IN THE UTILITY BUILDING AND ALSO HAVING AN ONLINE UH. HE'S TAKEN TERRORS. DESIGN MANUAL AND REALLY AUGMENTED DAD AND. POPULATED

[02:35:14]

GOALS FOR 2022 OR INCREASE THE NUMBER OF FOLLOWERS DEVELOPER. ONLINE COMMUNICATION PLAN AND THEN FINALLY, STERLING WOULD LIKE TO GET A CERTIFIED PUBLIC COMMUNICATOR. UH, JUST. HE'D LIKE TO COMPLETE THE PROGRAM AND BE A CERTIFIED PUBLIC COMMUNICATE. HERE ARE HIS WORKLOAD INEFFICIENCIES. REMEMBER 2021 IS A YEAR TODAY, BUT OBVIOUSLY 2020. BOTH HE AND HIS PROCESS IS REALLY PUSHED OUT IN SOCIAL MEDIA. YOU CAN SEE THE INCREASE AND FOLLOWERS.

AND THEN THIS IS AS. JOHN AND SAID THIS IS ONE OF THE DEPARTMENTS THAT ADMINISTRATION TOWN MANAGER'S OFFICE BIRTH, SO THAT'S WHY THERE'S NO HISTORY HERE. AND THEN WE HAVE OUR SECRETARY. SHE LOVES THAT HOUSE. I GUESS THAT'S ONCE YOU'VE GOT THE PHOTO THERE IT IS. WE WERE THERE WHEN THEY MOVED IT. UM AND THIS IS MY. FLARE SIDE SLIDE FOR BURKE. WILL PLAY ON WORDS THERE, BUT. YOU KNOW IT, IT'S ME, BUT WE WERE CALCULATING ALL THE NEW BOARDS AND THE AMOUNT OF. MEETINGS AND AGENDAS AND MINUTES THAT ARE NOW ON SHIRLEY AND SO. NOT NOT A DOUBLE, BUT PRETTY CLOSE, ROUGHLY 2.5 INCH AGENDAS PER MONTH TO FORAGE IN. SO QUITE A BIT WORK. SO JOURNEY. WELL, I GOT TO SAY A FEW THINGS ABOUT YOU, TOO, THOUGH, BEFORE YOU GET UP THERE. THEY'RE GOOD, I PROMISE. UM. YOU KNOW, YOU'RE ONE OF THE MOST INDISPENSABLE PEOPLE HERE, UM TO OUR TOWN, BUT ALSO TO ME PERSONALLY, AND I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR JUST THE AMOUNT OF TIME YOU'VE TAKEN TO HELP. EXPLAIN TO ME THE THINGS THAT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH SOME OF THE. SOME OF THE THINGS YOU TAKE CARE OF FOR US ARE JUST MIND BOGGLINGLY JUST COMPLICATED. AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE WOULD DO WITHOUT YOUR LONG HISTORY OF KNOWLEDGE IN THOSE AREAS AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE PREPARED FOR THINGS SO MANY OF THE RECORDS HAVE SO MUCH IMPORTANCE TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY'RE FILED AND THEIR LEGAL. AND WITHOUT THAT, WE MAKING THE DECISIONS DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE THEY DON'T ACTUALLY THEY CAN'T BE PUT INTO PUT INTO FORCE. SO YOU KNOW THE DEPARTMENT OF ONE BUT. OBVIOUSLY ONE OF OUR MOST CRITICAL ONES. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, LONG SERVICE AND HOPEFULLY CONTINUED LONG SERVICE. APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, UM. THAT'S TRUE, SAID I DID NOT COME UP WITH THAT TITLE BOARD TO THAT. SO I DID NOT TAKE CREDIT FOR THAT. THAT GOES SOMEWHERE ELSE, BUT ANY LIKE, UH, ONE OF THEM. MY CORE FUNCTION IS WE ARE KNOWN AS MUNICIPAL COURTS. MY DUTIES ARE OUTLAW TECHNICALLY MY DUTIES OR OUTLAW IN STATE LAW. IT TELLS US WHAT WE ARE TO DO.

UH AND ONE OF MY ONE OF OUR MAIN FUNCTIONS AS A MUNICIPAL CLERK IS TO DO THE AGENDAS AND THE AMENDMENTS. UH, IN THE MINUTE. THAT'S ONE OF OUR MAIN THINGS. IT IS STARTED OUT. FOR THE COUNCIL, AND THEN WE ADDED THE E D. C IN C D. C BOARD, SO I'VE DONE THAT, AND NOW WE'VE ADDED THE OTHER BOARD ZONE. I AM PROUD TO SAY. THAT BOTH ALL FOUR BOARDS WITH ALL THE NEW MEMBERS HAVE MET. AND Y'ALL. I JUST WANT YOU TO THE. THE RESIDENTS WHO WERE APPOINTED TO THOSE POSITIONS. YOU'RE GOING TO BE SO PROUD OF THEM ABSOLUTELY PROUD OF THEM FROM THE MEETINGS I HAVE ATTENDED SO FAR. THEY ARE VERY SMART. THEY ARE VERY IN TUNE WHAT'S GOING ON. AND I AM, UH, I'M JUST REALLY PROUD OF ALL OF THEM. WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER MEETING NEXT

[02:40:06]

NOW, AS A MATTER OF FACT, I JUST GOT ALL THE NEW NAMEPLATES FOR ALL OF THE BOARD SO THEY WILL BE SETTING UP HERE AND THEY WILL BE USING. THE MONITORS THAT Y'ALL ARE USING.

AND SO I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE IT VERY PROFESSIONAL FORUM AND EVERYTHING. UM THAT IS ALSO, UM. THE DUTIES. THAT'S ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT I DO THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS, I WILL YOU DID THAT CONTEST I CAN BARELY SEE OVER THERE. UM I'M ON MY TIPPY TOES. THE ACCOMPLISHMENT? UM, OUR HEALTH OUR HEALTH. HEALTH CONSULTANT OUT OF WELLSPRINGS INSURANCE OUT OF ARGHA BROUGHT TO US A NEW PROGRAM LAST SEPTEMBER FOR EMPLOYEES IS CALLED HR CONNECTION TO WEIGH THE COUNCIL. UH, EMPLOYEES CAN GO IN THERE AND KEEP. YOU CAN GO IN THERE MAKE CHANGES TO THEIR OWN. I MEAN, THEY CAN GO IN THERE. MY CHANGES CHECK ON THEIR HEALTH CARE PLANS. WHAT? THEY'VE GOT DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT. THAT IS GOING OKAY.

NOT EVERYBODY IS USED TO, BUT WE'VE GOT EVERYBODY SET UP. AND AS OF THIS WEEK, I'VE GOT EVERYBODY UP TO DATE. AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. THE NEXT THING IS WE HAVE BEEN COORDINATING THE NEW BOARD SETTING THIS UP AND WITH THE NEW BOARDS THEY ARE. AN EXTENSION OF THE COUNCIL.

THEY DO HAVE TO GO THROUGH TRAINING AS WELL. SO IN COORDINATING THAT, AND I'M PROUD TO SAY MOST EVERYONE HAS DONE THEIR OPEN MEETINGS ACT, SO I AM KEEPING UP WITH THAT. I HAVE TO KEEP A RECORD OF THEIR CERTIFICATE IN THEIR FILES. AS WELL. THE GIRLS ARE. TO IMPLEMENT THE VOTE LINKS PROGRAM. SO I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS. I KNOW YOU HAVEN'T GOT TO REALLY USE IT. YOU'RE VOTING THING YET, BUT WE'RE STILL WORKING ON IT. HOWEVER I'M BACK ON THE PHONE WITH HIM TOMORROW SITTING UP, BUT I'VE GOT ALL FIRE BOARD SET UP ON THERE, SO THEY'LL BE ABLE TO USE THAT AS WELL. WE'RE JUST DOING. UH SOME MINUTE LAST MINUTE UPDATES TO THE SYSTEM. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING TOMORROW. HE DID NOT WANT TO DO IT BEFORE THE MEETING TONIGHT. JUST DO THAT. SO WE WORKED ON THE NEXT GO IS CREATE A COUNCIL INBOARD OUTBOARD NG MANUAL AND TO PLAN AND HOW STATE BOARDING COUNCIL APPRECIATION BACK. MY WORKLOAD MEASURES OVER THERE. I HAVE TO GET BACK UP THERE. UM. MINE'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM EVERYONE ELSE. MINE IS ALL ABOUT WHAT YOU DO WHAT Y'ALL DO YOUR ORDINANCES. WHATEVER YOU APPROVE YOUR ORGANIZES YOUR RESOLUTION. MY JOB DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU DO. AND, UM. LOT OF THE ORDINANCES. I CAN SAY THIS WHAT? Y'ALL DON'T KNOW. SOME OF THE ORDINANCES HAVE TO HAVE A LEGAL NOTICE BEFORE THEY COME TO YOU. THEY HAVE TO HAVE A LEGAL NOTICE. AFTER YOU COME TO YOU. WE HAVE TO KEEP PERMANENT RECORDS OF THOSE, SO I ALWAYS HAVE TO. I'M ALWAYS SENDING STUFF TO THE NEWSPAPER FOR THAT. UM LET ME SEE THE RESOLUTIONS JUST TO LET YOU KNOW ALL THE FORT WORTH AGREEMENTS HAVE BEEN FILED WITH DENTON COUNTY IS OFFICIAL AND MY NEXT THING I HAVE TO FILE SOME IN TARRANT COUNTY. AND I JUST FOUND OUT TODAY. I CAN'T DO THAT A SUBSTATION. I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO DOWNTOWN. THE OLD COURTHOUSE. AND FOLLOW. BUT I JUST WANT YOU KNOW, WE HAVE WE HAVE GOTTEN ALL THAT FILED AND LET'S SEE AGENDAS. YOU KNOW, I DO A LOT OF AGENDAS. YOU KNOW ABOUT THE ELECTIONS, AND THAT'S ABOUT IT. DO YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? SIGN YOUR CONTRACT FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS TONIGHT. I'M NOT GONNA BE AROUND FOR 20 MORE, ANYWAY. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? IT IS A PLEASURE TO SERVE YOU AND IT HAS BEEN FOR THE LAST 24 A HALF YEARS. YES. JUST APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. OKAY? HE DID GREAT, GOOD JOB. LAST DEPARTMENT IS A TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW TOWN MANAGER'S OFFICE. UH. THIS SLIDE IS SOME OF THE PLANNING THAT, UH. AND RESPONSIBLE FOR BUT IT REALLY IS, UH, YOUR CREATION EITHER THROUGH AD HOC COMMITTEES YOU CREATE OR ACTIVITIES YOU DO. WE HAVE IN THE BUDGET FOR A STRATEGIC PLANNING RETREAT. WE HAVEN'T DONE THAT SINCE FEBRUARY. 2018 OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF IN FACES. WE HAVE IF YOU THE SAME FACES, BUT NOT MANY. AND SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE EFFORTS WE'RE GOING TO DO. UM. NEXT FEW YEARS. MY MOST IMPORTANT JOB IS IMPLEMENTING YOUR POLICY. AND TALK. TO EACH OF YOU AS YOU'VE COME ON BOARD, AND, UH THAT'S. THAT'S WHAT I'M THAT'S WHAT I HAVE TO DO. THAT'S WHAT I'M LEGALLY BOUND TO DO. AND UH AND A LOT OF TIME TO HAVE NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT COME ON, AND THE POLICY STILL EXIST, AND I HAVE TO IMPLEMENT THE POLICY EXISTS. BUT. YOU HAVE THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY TO CHANGE THAT. AND

[02:45:01]

AND I SAID CAN I CAN I DO THAT BEFORE? I DID. I CALLED. I CALLED. DURABLE SPECIALTIES.

THE INSTALLER WHO GAVE ME TEXT US NUMBER AND HE GOES. YEAH, THAT'S FUNNY. I GOT A CALL FROM FINANCE ABOUT SOME INVOICE AND I SAID WORRY ABOUT IT. WE TOOK CARE OF IT. JUST KEEP. KEEP MOVING. SO I, UH WE TALKED TO THE STATE I ACTUALLY WENT DOWN TO AUSTIN TO SPEAK BEFORE.

STATE HOUSE COMMITTEE TO TALK ABOUT THE BILL, UH, TO ALLOW. ANY ANY RESTAURANT IN THE TOWN BEFORE AFTER ANNEXATION TO BE ABLE TO BE HAVE THE SAME STATUS. AND AGAIN WE TALK ABOUT LONG RANGE PLANNING AND FORECASTING. YOU'RE THE POSITIONS YOU GIVE ME ESPECIALLY. UH SOME OF THIS ADMINISTRATIVE HELP, LIKE THE MANAGEMENT ASSISTANT. HAS TAKEN SOME OF THE SOME OF THE DAILY TASK OFF MY PLATE, AND IT'S REALLY IT'S REALLY HELPED ME LOOK LITTLE BIT FURTHER DOWN AND FORECAST AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT. WHAT MY ROLE SHOULD BE TO WARN YOU GUYS TO GIVE YOU GUYS THE INFORMATION THAT CANNOT. LOOK AHEAD TO THE NEXT TO THE NEXT HILL. THE NEXT BATTLE. AND SO THAT'S GREATLY APPRECIATED. WE HAD THE HOME RULE CHARTER ELECTION IS SURELY STILLED MY THUNDER. WE'VE WE'VE ENDED THE LAWSUITS OF WITH JUSTIN AND FORT WORTH. I DON'T REALLY KNOW OF THAT. THREE ACCOMPLISHMENT. THAT'S YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENT, UH, RAISING THE RESIDENTIAL HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION FROM 5 TO 20. WE JUST HAD TO PUT IT SOMEWHERE. SO THE GOALS AS I MENTIONED, UH, STRATEGIC PLANNING RETREAT, EXPAND THE DEVELOPMENT ALONG CATHERINE BRANCH THAT'S ALMOST GOING TOO FAST. I HAVE TO ASK BEN, WE'RE ALREADY GOING TO NEED TO EXPAND THAT THROUGH A PLANT. BECAUSE WE'VE WE'VE HAD A GREAT RESPONSE AND THAT WAS COUNCILS GO AND WE WHEN WE DID THIS DEAL WITH WHAT WORTH AND JUSTIN IS BECAUSE WE WANT TO CAPTURE THAT NOW WE WANT TO CAPTURE THAT TAX REVENUE WE'VE BEEN THROUGH. SIX YEARS OF THIS BATTLE, AND SO LET'S SEE SOME RESULTS FROM IT. SO WE'RE WORKING REALLY HARD ON THAT. AND THEN WE'RE LOOKING AT ADDITIONAL EXEMPTIONS OVER 65 DISABLED EXEMPTION RIGHT NOW, WE'RE BELIEVE WE'RE ONLY AT 15,000. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT. WE'RE TRYING TO BALANCE WITH WITH SOME SOME CONVERSATIONS OF THE MAYOR TRYING TO BALANCE THE AGGREGATE INCREASE ON A.

AVERAGE HOME BASED ON THEIR APPRAISAL INCREASES IN TRYING TO OFFSET THAT FOR THOSE OVER 65 DISABLED BY A COMPARABLE EXEMPTION, SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WILL BRING FORWARD TO COUNSEL. AND THEN MY REQUEST IS HUMAN RESOURCES COORDINATOR WON'T BE REALLY MY EMPLOYEE. IT WILL BE THE ENTIRE EMPLOYEES EMPLOYEE AND, UH, CHARLIE IS DOING A GREAT GREAT JOB AT THIS. THIS WILL BE A TRANSITION. AND THEN. TO FURTHER ASSIST THE DEPARTMENT SOMETHING AND WE REALLY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO IS DEVELOP SOME TOWN. MY TRAINING. UH CONTINUE TO REVIEW OUR POLICIES AND UPDATES. AND UH, DO SOME HELP WITH RECRUITMENT WITH, UH WITH ROUTES. INTERVIEWS ALL THAT STUFF DOING ALL THAT PAPERWORK FOR THE DEPARTMENTS AND TAKING SOME OF THAT LOAD OFF OF THEM. UM, THIS IS THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES UM, WHERE I THINK WELL, IF ALL THE POSITIONS ARE APPROVED, WILL GO FROM 54 EMPLOYEES TO 63. THAT'S A VERY BIG INCREASE. AS YOU AS YOU THINK. BACK OF ALL THOSE SLIDES. HOW. QUICK 2021 EVEN YEAR TODAY IS EXPLODING. WE REALLY NEED SOME ASSISTANT. WE REALLY NEED SOME EMPLOYEES. WE

[02:50:03]

BUT ALSO IT'S SOME OF THOSE EFFICIENCIES PAYING OFF. AGAIN. THIS IS. I THINK THE REASON THAT LOWERED BECAUSE WE SPUN OFF FINANCING MARKET. OKAY, SO. I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. YOU HAVE TOWN WIDE OR ABOUT MY POSITION. HERE ARE THE REMAINING MEETINGS. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A BREAK IN JULY IF YOU CANCEL THE MEETING IN YOUR ACTION. WE WERE GONNA TAKE A BREAK IN JULY 8TH. WE'VE BEEN REALLY WORKING HARD AT THE BUDGET. WE'RE NOW WE'RE JUST KIND OF WAITING FOR THE NUMBERS TO COME IN FROM THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT. WE'RE GOING TO FINE TUNE SOME OF OUR EXPENSES. AND A REVENUE PROJECTIONS AND THEN ON THE 22ND OF JULY, WE WILL DIVE IN. WE'LL TALK ABOUT PROPERTY TAX RATE. WAS. WE STILL HAVEN'T GOT A COMPLETE NUMBER FROM THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT. SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS WITH YOU AND TALK ABOUT. FINANCING SOME OF OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS, THEN WE'LL HAVE THE. THOSE BUDGET AND HOPEFULLY THAT MAKES YOUR REQUIREMENTS AND YOU CAN ADOPT IN SEPTEMBER 9TH. QUESTION.

WHEN DO YOU EXPECT THE CERTIFIED ROLES? AROUND. WE NEVER. WE NEVER GOT CERTIFIED ROSE LAST YEAR. WE GET CERTIFIED ESTIMATES. BY STATE LAW THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE JULY 25TH. JULY 27TH. BUT UH, LIKE I SAID, WE DIDN'T GET. LAST LAST LAST JULY. WE GOT CERTIFIED ESTIMATES, BUT WE HOPE WHEN WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH ITS HAND IN HAND WITH THE CHIEF OF PRESSURE, WE HOPE TO HAVE THEM LATE JULY. UH BUT BUT BY JULY 22ND, WE SHOULD HAVE A MUCH BETTETETETETETETETETETEUH,T THIS. YOU GET THIS VERY PRELIMINARY NUMBER. THEN THEY START SPLITTING OFF ALL THE PROTEST, AND THEY THEY KIND OF HAVE A LOW NUMBER FOR THE PROTEST. AND THEN DEPENDING ON HOW THOSE GO THEN THEN THEY STARTED ADDING THOSE BACK IN AS THEY GET RESOLVED AND YOU GET BACK TO YOUR GRAND TOTAL AGAIN. AND SO OF. JOHN HAS DONE THIS BEFORE. I'VE DONE THIS BEFORE. YOU KIND OF PREDICT HOW THAT'S GOING TO GO AND WHAT IT'S GOING TO END UP AT AND WE'RE USUALLY PRETTY CLOSE ON THAT. WE'RE JUST MISSING AS I MENTIONED EARLIER. MISSING SOME PRETTY BIG KEY NUMBERS, BUT THEY PROMISED THEM IN A WEEK. TWO WEEKS. OKAY, SO WE WOULDN'T HAVE MUCH TO GIVE YOU ANYWAY. SO TAKE THE WEEK OFF. SO. THAT I'M SORRY. I RAMBLED MAJOR QUESTION, ALL RIGHT. ZERO. MIGHT WE BE BETTER OFF TO WAIT, BUT THE BETTER. NUMBERS. UM. WE CAN. I DON'T KNOW IF TWO DAYS IS GOING TO GIVE US ENOUGH TIME TO SCRUB ALL THOSE NUMBERS, BUT WE CAN WE CAN LOOK AT THAT, UM. YEAH. LET ME LET ME GET WITH JOHN. IF YOU GUYS ARE OPEN TO THAT, UH, WE CAN WE CAN LIVE IN A LOOK AT THAT. I KNOW A LOT OF YOU HAVE PLANNED YOUR. YOUR YOUR CALENDAR BASED AROUND THESE DATES, BUT WE CAN LOOK AT THAT, OR YEAH. COME UP HIS MIND. COME UP WITH SOME SCENARIOS AND GET BACK TO YOU AND THEN WORK THROUGH THE MAYOR ON WHEN TO IF WE NEED TO CALL A SPECIAL MEETING. THAT WEEK REALLY CHANGED THE NUMBERS AT THAT POINT, I MEAN, ONE MORE WEEK IN THE PAST HAS NEVER REALLY MOVED THE NUMBERS THAT MUCH. WE'LL KNOW MORE IN TWO WEEKS, OKAY? SO I DON'T WANT TO. I DON'T WANT TO COMMIT, BUT BUT I'LL KEEP THAT IN MIND, AND WE EITHER. YEAH, WE EITHER HAPPENING ON 22ND WITH WITH BECAUSE. YOU KNOW THIS 22ND MEETING NOW BECAUSE OF THE SHOT CLOCK BECAUSE THE PNC WE'VE GOT. TO WE'VE GOT A LOT OF NON BUDGET THINGS COMING UP ON THE 22ND.

SO WOULD BE REALLY COOL IF WE GOT SOME KIND OF AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT ALL THE WATER SYSTEM COSTS US. VERSUS WHAT'S COMING IN ON THE BILLS. I KNOW YOU GUYS BALANCE THAT. WHILE BACK AND THAT WAS AWESOME.
