AND SO WE HAVE AN UPDATE ON THAT AS WELL AND SOME ACTION STEPS THAT ARE BECOMING OUT OF IT, BUT TWO OF THEM RIGHT OFF THE TOP TONIGHT THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS UPDATE AND THEN ALSO A POLICE BRIEFING. BOTH OF THOSE ARE SPECIFIC THINGS THAT WE DECIDED TO START TO ROLL OUT AND TO PARTNER TOGETHER. TO TRY TO JUSD EDUCATION ON PUBLIC SAFETY AND ON ALL THE ISSUES THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH, THEY GO OUTSIDE OUR JURISDICTION THAT WE NEED TO WORK WITH OTHER JURISDICTION. DO YOU HAVE PUBLIC INPUT TONIGHT? AND I'VE GOT A FEW FOLKS ARE HERE TO TALK ABOUT THAT WE DO HAVE A NUMBER OF CONSENT ITEMS RELATED TO THE BUDGET, AND THEN WE HAVE.

WE'RE JUST GONNA HAVE TO BE HERE FOR A WHILE, AND SHE SEEMED TO OPPOSE TO THAT, OR AT LEAST FOR THE FIRST COUPLE YEARS ANYWAY. BUT WELCOME TO THE TOWN JUST AS AN EMPLOYEE, BUT AS A RESIDENT AS WELL AND THROW THE HAVE YOU SO THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, SO LET'S GET

[2.A. Intergovernmental Affairs update on FM 407/I-35W intersection - Mayor]

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT 2031 THE NEXT DECADE BEFORE FOUR OF SEVEN AND GET EXPAND. THAT'S OBVIOUSLY UNACCEPTABLE TO ANYBODY WHO'S USED FOR, UH, SEVEN RECENTLY AND SO WE DECIDED TO PARTNER WITH THE COUNTY WITH THE TOWN OF ARGYLE. AND GET TOGETHER AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE CAN DO TO ACCELERATE THAT AND INFLUENCE THAT AT THE STATE LEVEL. WE DID HAVE A VERY STRATEGIC MEETING OF THIS RECENTLY WHERE WE BROUGHT IN HILLWOOD AS WELL AS THE TECH STOCK CONSULTANT ENGINEER. AND AT THE OUTCOME OF THAT MEETING WAS THAT BASICALLY TWO THINGS ARE HAPPENING. SO ONE IS THEY HAVE HEARD US ON THE NEED FOR, UH, SEVEN EXPANSION, AND THEY BROUGHT THAT INTO 2025. AND 2029. ACCELERATION ABOUT FOUR YEARS AT THIS POINT. FOR THE FOR THE FULL FOR ALSO. UM WITH REGARD TO THE SECTION, HOWEVER, THROUGH THE CORE OF OUR TOWN, WE DID COME UP WITH A PROPOSAL THAT WE PITCHED A TECH STOCK. TO ASK THEM TO DO A PARTIAL EXPANSION OF THE ROAD AHEAD OF THAT MAIN EXPANSION. AND THE PROPOSAL IS TO EXPAND FROM CLEVELAND GIVES ALL THE WAY UNDER THE HIGHWAY TO GATEWAY. ON THE OTHER SIDE, WHICH IS THE ENTRANCE TO THAT NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S STARTING ON THE SOUTH. EAST CORNER OF THE FOUR L 7 35 INTERCHANGE. THE EXPANSION WOULD BE A FOUR LANE EXPANSION WAS TURN LANES AND SO THEY WOULD BUILD IT BASICALLY IN THE FOOTPRINT OF THE FUTURE FOR OUR SEVEN SO THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO JUST POUR TWO MORE LANES FOR THE FUTURE. SIX LANES. BE ABOUT 10 TO $12 MILLION PROJECT. AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY WOULD BASICALLY IMMEDIATELY BEGIN DOING WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS, AND THEY DID SEEM OPEN TO THAT. AND SO AT THE MOMENT, THEY'RE ASSESSING WHETHER THEY ARE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND DO THAT FUNDING. STATE LEVEL, AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'VE ASKED FOR IS THEY COMBINED. JURISDICTIONAL ENTITY, MULTI JURISDICTIONAL HINTED TO HERE. AND UM, SO SUMMER IN SUMMARY ONE. WE WOULDN'T BE PAYING FOR IT TOO.

IT WOULD START IMMEDIATELY. THREE BE PARTIAL FOR KEY CORRIDOR FOR US, WHICH IS FROM CLEVELAND GIVES ON. IT WOULD INCLUDE WHAT WE CALL BREAK FROM THE BOX AT 35 W, WHICH IS USUALLY AN EXTRAORDINARILY EXPENSIVE AND LONG PROCESS. AND HERE'S HOW IT WORKS, SO A PARTIAL EXPANSION THAT WOULD GO QUICKLY WOULD EXPAND THE FOUR LANES UNDER THE FREE. BUT TO DO THAT, AND ACTUALLY REBUILD THE BRIDGES WOULD BE MULTI YEAR. TENS OF MILLIONS DOLLARS. SO THAT'S NOT PART OF THE PROJECT. WHAT IS PART OF THE PROJECT IS IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE BRIDGE NEXT TIME YOU GO UNDER IT. THERE ARE RETAINING WALLS, BASICALLY CONCRETE THAT COVERS AN EARTH AND BERMS. THAT SLOPE FROM THE BRIDGE DOWN TO THE ROADWAY WHERE THE PILLARS ARE. THE BASIC DESIGN THIS HAS BEEN DONE IN A COUPLE OF PLACES IS TO TAKE OUT THOSE BERMS. MOVE THEM BACK TO

[00:10:02]

SO IT'S A LITTLE A LITTLE ODD BECAUSE THERE'S GOING TO BE THOSE COLUMNS ARE GOING TO REMAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROADWAY. BUT IT DOES GET US TO FOUR LANES AND THAT'S THAT'S THE KEY FOR OUR FUTURISTIC SPANNED THE TRAFFIC FLOW UNDER THE FREEWAY, BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY THE KEY CHOKE POINT FOR OUR REGION AND ENTERING LIKE AS WELL AS FOR OUR GUY. THAT'S THE BEST PROPOSAL THEY CAN COME UP WITH. IT IS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE GROCER THAT IS PART OF THE NEGOTIATION WAS THAT THEY HELPED KIND OF PUSHED US OVER THE GOAL LINE AS WELL. THE GROCERY THAT'S BEEN PROPOSED FOR THE CORNER OVER A YEAR. IT'S INTENDED TO OPEN AND Q THREE OF 2023, THE ASKED BY ALL OF US WAS. TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS ROADWAY IS COMPLETED BY THAT POINT, SO THAT IT WOULD OPEN IT WOULD BE OPEN AND OPERATIONAL PRIOR TO THE OPENING OF THE GROCERY OR AT LEAST IN CLOSE PROXIMITY AND TIMELINE. TO SO THAT'S THE. THAT'S THE UPDATE. I HAVE THREE AND FOUR OR SEVEN COUNCILORS JUST BRIEFLY TO DENNIS ANYTHING THAT YOU WANTED TO HEAR ABOUT WITH REGARD TO 47 YEARS. THAT WAS NOT CLEAR ANYTHING. ALL RIGHT. I WILL HAVE UPDATES AS THEY COME. I'LL KEEP YOU INFORMED AS TO THIS BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE WILL HAVE QUITE A FEW UPDATES ON AS THINGS MOVE ALONG. ALL RIGHT, SO WE WILL MOVE ON TO POLICE UPDATE

[2.B. Briefing - Police Update on Crime Statistics, Traffic Stops, Resident Engagement and Citizen Police Academy]

AND ENGAGING IN AND PRESS STAFF TO COME UP WITH SOME OUR FPS. APPREHENSIVE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN IS ONE WITH. KIND OF TUBE CODICILS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY AND TOWN CENTER TOWN HALL STUDY. UM. WE DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THEM THERE IN YOUR PACKET. PLEASE REVIEW THEM. IF YOU'VE GOT ANY COMMENTS, FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME. THE OTHER ONE IS THE NORTHEAST BRAND REFRESH.

THAT WAS HER FIRST JOB THE FIRST DAY OR MARKETING OR COMMUNICATION MARKETING COORDINATOR. LET'S GET THIS OUT THERE. TOWN ENTRY MONUMENT PATIENT STUDY, UH, FELT LIKE THAT NEEDS TO BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT. MORE OF A LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT FOCUS INSTEAD OF BIG COM PLAN, AND SO WE SPLIT THAT OUT. BUT WE FELT THAT. TOWN CENTER AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE PART OF THAT OVERALL PLANS. IF THAT MAKES SENSE TO YOU WILL CONTINUE ON THAT EFFORT , FINALLY ON THE TRANSPORTATION CONSULTANT I THINK WE KNOW. WE WANT TO ENGAGE. WHO'S THE. KIND OF THE. LEADER IN THAT AREA. I DID. I DID TALK WITH THE. PRESIDENT OF INNOVATIVE TRANSLATION SOLUTIONS IDS, THE CONSULTANT AND DIDN'T COUNTY THAT THE MAYOR MENTIONED. IN.

PROPOSAL FROM HIM. AFTER THE PACKAGE WENT OUT, BUT HE IS AVAILABLE. DID. AND BRING THAT FORWARD. IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE THAT WE CAN BRING THAT FORWARD AT YOUR NEXT COUNCIL. VERY.

THANK YOU, MR CORN. UM, THESE ARE OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF STUDIES THAT ARE GETTING ROLLING AND WILL BE IMPORTANT TO SPEND SOME TIME ON WHEN WE GET TO THAT POINT. THIS IS KIND OF JUST KICKING OFF AND GETTING. PROPOSALS OUT THERE SO WE CAN GET SOME RESPONSES GET SOME COST ESTIMATES GETS AND START TO LAY THESE OUT AS TO WHEN WE CAN TACKLE THEM. ONCE WE GET INTO BUDGET SEASON DOES TEND TO GET DIFFICULT. TO GET OUR FOCUS ON THESE THINGS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO REALLY GET OUT THERE AND GET THESE PROPOSALS EARLY IN THE YEAR, SO WE HAVE TIME TO SORT OF DEVELOP MOBILE BIT AND SEE WHERE THEY GO. SOME OF THESE DON'T HAVE TO BE. I DON'T HAVE TO GO ANYWHERE WE CAN. WE CAN GO SLOW IF WE NEED TO. AND SOME, YOU KNOW, WE COULD USE SOME HELP RIGHT AWAY. THEN GET MOVING ON. SO THESE ARE THOUGHTFUL EXERCISES. THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY ON A DEADLINE. WANTED TO GET THIS TURNED AROUND AS QUICKLY AS WE COULD. WHILE WE'RE IN A LITTLE BIT OF A SLOWER SEASON FOR OUR MEETINGS ANYWAY, WHERE WE'RE MEETING ONCE A MONTH. THAT'S THAT'S BEEN THE THOUGHT PROCESS.

[2.D. Briefing - Town Calendar, Election Location and Town Holidays]

[00:25:01]

OKAY UM, HERE'S ALL THE UPCOMING ELECTIONS. I DIDN'T COUNTY ELECTIONS ADMINISTRATION. ONCE.

A LARGE ROOM. THAT THEY HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OVER FOR ALL ELECTIONS FOR THE FULL TIME OF EARLY AND ELECTION DAY. FROM SEVEN AM TO SEVEN PM THEIR GOAL IS LORD. LARGER CENTERS. MORE.

OPEN. EVERY TIME EVERY TIME CONSISTENTLY. THE CHALLENGES AND WE'LL GO THROUGH THAT YOU'VE SEEN THE CALENDAR THE AMOUNT OF CONFLICTS THAT COME UP. MEETINGS WE WOULD NEED TO COUNT, CANCEL OR MOVE. WE OFFERED UP THE POLICE. I DON'T THINK I TOLD THE CHIEF THIS BUT WE OFFERED UP THE POLICE COMMUNITY ROOM FOR THOSE ELECTIONS. BUT DON'T WORRY, CHIEF. THEY REJECTED IT WASN'T WASN'T LARGE ENOUGH. FOR THEM. HE DIDN'T MEET THEIR REQUIREMENTS. SO. THAT'S THE ELECTIONS. THAT'S THEIR ASK, UH, WE WOULD LIKE TO BE PART OF THAT. BUT IT DOES IT DOES. PUT QUITE A, UM. A DAMPER ON OUR ACTIVITIES AND THIS NEW FACILITY THAT YOU FUNDED. IS THIS AN ALL OR NOTHING OR YES, FROM OUR UNDERSTANDING. THAT WAS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS. THE MAYOR ASKED ME EARLIER. WHEN WE WORKING ON THE AGENDA CAN WE DO. LOCAL ONLY AND THEIR ANSWER IS LIKE I SAID.

ALL THE TIME. ALL HOURS. ALL ELECTIONS RUN OFFS PRIMARY RUN OFFS, BECAUSE TRADITIONALLY WE'VE ONLY BEEN HERE. NOT EVEN EARLY VOTING WAS ONLY RECENTLY AND WE'RE JUST ELECTION DAY TYPICALLY. IN THE PAST, SO RIGHT, THAT'S WHY I AM THERE'S A NEW LEADERSHIP AND THAT'S THEIR ASK. WE COULD. WE COULD PUSH BACK AND SAY ALL WE CAN DO IS ELECTION DAY. ONLY THERE'S STILL SOME AREAS THAT WE MOVE OR MOVE AROUND. BUT WE COULD DO THAT. AND IT'S. DID YOU EXPLAIN THAT WHENEVER THEY'RE USING THIS ROOM, WE CAN'T USE IT. CORRECT BECAUSE IT CAN'T BE BOTHERED RIGHT? EXACTLY THEY HAVE THEIR EQUIPMENT. IT'S WE CAN WALK THROUGH HERE, BUT WE CAN'T HAVE ANYTHING IN HERE. WE CAN'T MOVE ANYTHING. PRETTY MUCH COUNCIL MEETING SHUT DOWN. YES, MA'AM.

JUST IN MAY WE THERE IS GOING TO BE A LOCAL ELECTION. AH THERE BE THERE MIGHT BE A POSSIBILITY OF THE SD EXPANDING THROUGH AN ANNEXATION ELECTION. SO THERE ARE SOME ISSUES THAT RELATE TO NORTH LIKE, SO I'M JUST TRYING TO GIVE YOU THE COMPLETE PICTURE . AND THEN IN NOVEMBER WE ANTICIPATE THE COUNTY WOULD HAVE THERE. BOND ELECTION AND THEN THE FOLLOWING MAY. POTENTIALLY FOLLOW WITH OUR WITH, UM THEY COMPANION BOND ELECTION. I WOULD FRANKLY LIKE TO SEE DURING THE LOCAL IN MAY AND NOVEMBER. I THINK THE MARCH IN JUNE OR TYPICALLY SMALL, SMALL ENOUGH.

TURNOUTS WHERE THOSE WOULD BE TO PRESERVE BY JUSTIN OR OUR DOLLAR. WHAT NOT, BUT IF WE HAVE THE OPTION TO PUSH BACK, THAT'S WHAT I WOULD. OFFER UP WAS MADE IN NOVEMBER. ELECTION DAY OR.

EARLY THEY ACTUALLY DON'T WORK TOO TERRIBLE WITH THE REST OF OUR CALENDAR AND THE MAN NOVEMBER'S COMPARED TO MARCH IN JUNE, THEY ALMOST VILLAGE FOR THE FOR THE AUDIENCE WILL GO THROUGH THOSE REAL QUICK. IF YOU HAVE AND THEN BEFORE WE DO WE WANT TO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON ELECTIONS OR COMMENTS? YES, SIR. THEY WOULD TAKE IT FROM. THE PRIMARY RUNOFF FROM MAY 16TH THROUGH THE 20TH AND THEN ALSO ON THE 24TH, AND THEY PROBABLY KEEP THEIR EQUIPMENT HERE IN THAT BECAUSE THAT RUNOFF WILL BE A TUESDAY. I BELIEVE SO THEY'RE PROBABLY KEEP THEIR EQUIPMENT IN HERE IN A MONDAY ON THE 20 MAY 23RD. YEP. IF WE HAD BOTH LOCAL AND THE PRIMARY RUNOFF. AND IT'S BEEN DONE. IN THE PAST, THE CDC HAS MET IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM OR THINGS LIKE THAT. CORRECT THAT'S WHERE THAT'S WHERE THEY USE AS THEIR. BREAK ROOM, BUT THEY COULD POSSIBLY USE POLICE.

COMMUNITY ROOM OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AS WELL. OKAY? YEAH RIGHT. IT'S GOING TO CAUSE AN

[00:30:02]

LET ME GET THROUGH THE REST. AND WE CAN COME BACK THERE. MAYBE TOO HELPFUL. WE GO THROUGH EACH MONTH, BUT LET THEM. I LOVE I'VE HEARD WITH MY PROTEINS. COMMENTS ARE UM HERE'S OUR CURRENT. TOWN HOLIDAYS, AS IS FOR NEXT YEAR, SO IT MAKES SENSE IF WE KEPT OUR SAME HOLIDAYS. THIS IS WHERE THEY'D BE. WE HAVE 13. AND THE. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS NOW RECOGNIZE JUNETEENTH, WHICH IS JUNE 19TH AS A FEDERAL HOLIDAY. SO I THINK OUR HR CONSULTANT OUR HR COORDINATOR, CHANCE WILLEFORD LOOKED AT THIS. ABOUT HALF OF THE CITY'S AROUND HERE ARE LOOKING AT THIS ABOUT 10% HAVE ADOPTED. SO I GUESS THAT LEAVES 40% THAT HAVEN'T CONSIDERED IT YET. SO THAT'S SOMETHING ALSO FOR ACCOUNT COUNCIL TO CONSIDER. THERE WAS A NEWS ARTICLE. YESTERDAY OR TODAY THAT DIDN'T HAS NOW GONE FROM NINE HOLIDAYS TO 13. SO THEY RECOGNIZE 11 HOLIDAYS AND THEY HAVE THEY HAVE TO FLOATING HOLIDAYS. WHAT'S THE STATE OF TEXAS DOING? STATE OF TEXAS. THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I THINK THE COUNTY. FOLLOWS THE STATE. I THINK THEY HAVE 13. BUT I HAVE TO CHECK ON THAT THEY MAY ADD TEXAS INDEPENDENCE DAY. AS WELL. BUT. YEAH I THINK WHEN THEY'RE IN SESSION, THEY DON'T REALLY RECOGNIZE ANYTHING. BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE GUBERNATORIAL OFFICES DO, BUT I THINK WE CAN GET YOU THAT INFORMATION. HOW SOON DO YOU NEED A DECISION ON THIS? UM BEFORE JUNETEENTH. ON THE HOLIDAYS. UM AND WE DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING. I DON'T YOU CAN DECISION COULD BE. NOTHING. IF YOU DON'T TAKE ANY ACTION ON THIS. YOU ALL OKAY? IF WE DEFER THIS ONE GET A LITTLE BIT MORE DATA LIKE TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT SOME OF THESE. WE HAD ONE TAKE ONE OFF. THAT'S THAT'S UP TO YOU. WHATEVER COUNCIL WANTS TO DO WE? WE DIDN'T LOOK AT THE STATE WE COMPARE OURSELVES TO OTHER CITIES ARE GALLON DRONE. OKAY, 13. DIDN AND FORWARD HAD NINE BUT DIDN'T JUST WENT TO 13. SO THAT'S REALLY WHO WE COMPARISONS. BUT WOULD WE BE GLAD TO RESEARCH THE STATE ANY OTHER CITIES OR STATES OR COUNTRIES? YES. WHERE 13 NOW? YES, SIR. GOOD FRIDAY IS ONE THAT NOT ALL CITIES? UH OBSERVE COLUMBUS DAY IS VERY FEW OBSERVE . UH, THOSE PRETTY MUCH. EVERYONE DOES THANKSGIVING THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS EVE, CHRISTMAS DAY, LABOR DAY, MEMORIAL DAY, JULY 4TH. THANKS VETERANS DAY IS PROBABLY A BIT MORE. MM. YEAH. WILL NEW YEAR'S DAY WAS ACTUALLY ON A SATURDAY. SO WE GO TO THE IF IT'S ON A SATURDAY, WE GO TO A FRIDAY, WHICH ACTUALLY PUT IT IN. SO LAST YEAR, WE HAD TECHNICAL WE HAD 14 HOLIDAYS. THIS THIS YEAR. WE'RE ONLY GOING TO HAVE 12 BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY RECOGNIZED NEW YEAR'S DAY. FORTUNATELY WE'RE ON A FISCAL YEAR, SO IT DIDN'T REALLY AFFECT US. SO GOOD CATCH. ALRIGHT SO ON THIS ONE A LITTLE BIT MORE DATA, PERHAPS IF THERE'S SOME ANOMALY FOLLOWING TO WHEN YOU WANT, AND LAST YEAR EITHER. DOES ANYBODY HAVE A. PRO CON ON THIS THAT YOU JUST WANT TO DO THIS NOW. MAKE A DECISION OR YOU JUST WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT LATER. I MEAN, WHAT WOULD IT AFFECT TOWN SERVICES BY HAVING ONE EXTRA DAY? IN A NEGATIVE WAY. YOU KNOW, WE DO HAVE A VERY GENEROUS VACATION. UM CRUEL. NO MAN HE PRINTED OUT FOR ME TO THERE WE GO. NO, THAT'S NOT IT.

I MAY NOT HAVE PUT IT IN MY NOTES HERE, BUT WE'VE I THINK. FIRST SIX YEARS. WE DO TWO WEEKS, SIX TO 10. WE HAVE THREE WEEKS AND AFTER 10 YEARS YOU GET FOUR WEEKS, SO WE HAVE A VERY.

WE HAVE A VERY GENEROUS VACATION POLICY AND I FORGOT THE SICK LEAVE. SO, UM. WE WE GIVE OUR I BELIEVE WE GIVE OUR STAFF PLENTY OF TIME AND OPPORTUNITY TO REST AND RELAX AND COME BACK ONE MORE DAY. NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO SERVE THE PUBLIC IN ANY WELL CAPACITY POLICE

[00:35:03]

OKAY, YOU'RE GOOD. YOU'RE GOOD. I'M GOOD WITH THE GYM. I THINK WE HAVE TIME TO MAKE A DECISION, SO WE MIGHT AS WELL GET MORE INFORMATION. THERE'S NO HARM IN THAT. OKAY AND THAT INFORMATION WOULD BE THE STATES OBSERVED HOLIDAYS AND MORE CITIES, INDEPENDENCE DAY AND THE TEXAS INDEPENDENCE COLUMBUS DAY, JUNETEENTH. OKAY. SALARY COST THIS. UM BACK, COS YEAH. NO, I DON'T. I DON'T KNOW IF WE GET 22. OFFICERS 63 EMPLOYEES. THEY'RE PROBABLY 300,000. NO 30 30,000. OKAY, SURE. MR MATH MANAGER. MATH? YEAH. OKAY MORE INFORMATION. WE'RE GOOD. WE'LL BRING IT BACK. WE'LL GET YOU THAT ANSWER. ALRIGHT OKAY. OKAY, GO BACK TO THE SCHEDULE FOR A SECOND. ALRIGHT SO OBVIOUSLY THE ENDPOINTS DO NOTHING ISN'T GREAT FOR THE PUBLIC. WE LIKE TO HAVE ELECTIONS. HERE WE DO HAVE OPPORTUNITY. OUR LOCAL ELECTION AREAS ARE USUALLY JUSTIN ROBSON, ARGYLE AND ROANOKE. COURTHOUSE COURTHOUSE. WE'VE GOT THE PERIMETER OF THIS, BUT THE CORE OF THE TOWN DOESN'T HAVE A PLACE WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY WHY WE'RE HERE. SO THERE'S THAT IF WE ARE FORCED TO THE ENDS WHERE DENTON COUNTY SAYS NO WAY IT'S GOT TO BE ALL OR NOTHING. WHAT IS THE DECISION? IF IT'S ALL OR NOTHING , AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK TO THE PARTIAL. WE'LL PITCH THE PARTIAL, BUT IF IT HAS TO BE ALL OR NOTHING, WE STILL NEED A DECISION WOULD BE WE STILL HAVEN'T HERE. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT AS THE MORE I READ OF THE PERCENTAGE OF OUR PEOPLE THAT VOTE, THE FURTHER THEY HAVE TO GO OUT OF THEIR NORM, THE LESS YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET THEM TO VOTE, AND A GOOD EXAMPLE IS THIS LAST ELECTION. I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE OUR AREA OUR PEOPLES USED TO BE IN HERE AND A PLACE FOR HIM TO VOTE. IT WAS VERY CONFUSING FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. I HAD SPENT A LOT OF TIME EXPLAINING TO FOLKS THAT WHILE EARLY VOTING WAS HERE.

ELECTION DAY WAS OVER IN ARGYLE FOR SOME FOLKS OR SOUTHWEST COURTHOUSE AND THEN OVER IT, ARGYLE. IT REALLY? MESS WITH EVERYBODY'S HEADS BECAUSE IT WAS LIKE, WELL, EARLY VOTING CAN VOTE ONE PLACE, BUT THEN YOU HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. IT REALLY CONFUSED. A LOT OF FOLKS THAT KNOW WHERE TO GO. AND I'M ASSUMING THAT THOSE WHO DIDN'T ASK A LOT OF THEM JUST DIDN'T VOTE. SO IT IS CONSIDERATION SOT I REALLY WANT VOTING TO TAKE PLACE. I DO LOOK AT THE SCHEDULE AND IT DOES GIVE ME SOME HEADACHE FOR WHAT OUR STAFF ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH. SO I'M NOT QUITE SURE I'M ALL THE WAY TO DEFINITELY HAVE IT HERE. THAT I'M TRENDING THAT DIRECTION . SO IS THERE ANOTHER OPTION AS FAR AS THE LOCATION, MEANING EVEN IF IT IS IN A TOWN PROPERTY , CONSTANTLY HAVE A MEETING SPACE THAT COULD MARRY TALKED, MARIAN ZALINA TALKED TO THE REPRESENTATIVE. THEY'VE ASKED A NUMBER OF PLACES, BUT THEY THEY'VE YOU KNOW, THERE'S A SPACE SHORTAGE. AS, UM, SURE YOU'RE AWARE IN THIS AREA AND SO THEY'RE STRUGGLING FOR SPACES ARE GAL BOUGHT A CHURCH WHICH HAD A COMMUNITY ROOM JUSTIN BOTTLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BUILDING, WHICH HAD A CLASSROOM. WE BOUGHT WERE NOT EVEN BY BUT WE DIDN'T BUY THIS. WE RENTED THIS AND THE CHARTER CREATED. TWO NEW BOARDS, AND SO IT WOULD. YEAH BUT THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING OTHER SPACES. THEY ARE VERY PARTICULAR. WE'VE HEARD A STORY ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HALLWAY IN A ROOM AND. THEY REJECTED IT, SO THEY'RE VERY THEY'RE VERY PICKY , AND UNDERSTANDABLY THEY WANT TO SECURE THE ELECTION. AND I'M NOT. I'M NOT DOWNGRADING THEIR THEIR WANTS AND BY ANY MEANS.

[00:40:02]

OKAY SO THAT'S THAT'S GREAT. THANK YOU. AND THAT COULD HAPPEN. YEAH, GOOD COULD HAPPEN.

BUT THE COURT HAS THE ABILITY TO WRITE. SO THERE'S ONLY ONE OTHER DAY FOR COURT. THAT'S IMPACT.

AND THEN I SEE IT. NOVEMBER GENERAL ELECTION. YES. YEAH AND THEY COULD. THEY COULD MOVE THAT AROUND. THEY DON'T HAVE. THEY DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A. UM A JURY TRIAL THEY DON'T HAVE. THEY DON'T HAVE A JURY TRIAL EVERY MONTH SO THEY COULD THEY COULD PUSH IT AROUND. THEY HAVE SOME FLEXIBILITY THERE, TOO. OKAY, IF YOU TELL US. ALL ELECTIONS MAY AND NOVEMBER ELECTIONS. WE CAN FIGURE IT OUT. OKAY SO ARE IDEAL IS I THINK WHAT THE THEY OFFERED UP WHICH IS WHAT WE WANT TO ASK AGAIN, JUST TO TRY IS TO DO THE MAIN NOVEMBER ELECTION, OKAY? UM SORRY. THE WHOLE INCOMES IN EARLY AND BOTH OF THEM FOR THE FOLDER, EARLY VOTING AND DAY OF IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE ALL SAYING? OKAY QUITE QUICK QUESTION. I KNOW THAT EARLY VOTING IN THE ELECTION DAY VOTING OR SOMETIMES IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. I GET THAT. BUT IF WE GO TO NOTHING, INSTEAD OF THE ALL IF WE GO TO THE NOTHING WHERE WHAT ARE SPECIFIC VOTING BE WILL BE CANYON FALLS. IT'S ALL DIFFERENT BECAUSE EVERYBODY IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE TOWN WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT ASSIGNED LOCATION. I THINK IT DIDN'T COUNTY YOU CAN VOTE ANYWHERE. EARLY VOTE EARLY VOTING? YES BUT ELECTION DAY.

WELL I'M SORRY. MISHEARD YOU ELECTION DAY IS BASED ON YOUR SIGNED. AREA SO WEST OF TOWN IS GOING TO BE JUST AND I BELIEVE IN EAST OF TOWN IS ARGYLE SOUTHWEST COURTHOUSE AND THEN ROBSON FOR YOU GUYS. START UPS. DO YOU GO TO ROBSON? OKAY? SO ASK FOR THE FAVOR. OKAY UM, IF IT'S ALL OR NOTHING. WE'RE GETTING PRETTY CLOSE HERE TO BEING ABLE TO ENTERTAIN ALL DO YOU TRAIN THAT WAY AT THIS POINT? OKAY. DOES THAT DIRECTION ENOUGH FOR YOU? ASK FOR THEY ACCEPT THE EXCEPTION. SO ALL ELECTIONS GOT YOU. YES, SIR. LET'S WORK ON OUR CALENDAR, OKAY? AND WILL BE AS FLEXIBLE AS WE CAN. IF WE RUN INTO A PROBLEM, COUNSELORS IF WE HAVE TO DO ONE COUNCIL MEETING ON A TUESDAY OR FRIDAY OR SOMETHING CAN GIVE US 111 YEAR. ONE A YEAR IF WE HAVE TO. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. TICKET THANK YOU, SIR. ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. COUNSELORS APPRECIATE YOU WORKING THROUGH THAT WITH US. ALRIGHT WE HAVE PUBLIC INPUT AT

[00:45:03]

Y'ALL HAPPEN TO BE ONE OF THEM? WHAT HAPPENED WITH REDISTRICTING IS DIDN'T CATEGORIES SO FAST OVER THE LAST. UM 10 YEARS THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH POPULATION TO JUSTIFY 1/5 HOUSE DISTRICT AND THE WAY THE MAP WAS DRAWN, AND WE'RE THE CURRENT ELECTED OFFICIALS LIVE THAT KIND OF PROTECTED THE CORNERS OF THE COUNTY AND LEFT A SWATH THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTY. AS IT'S A VERY IRREGULARLY SHAPED DISTRICT. A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ABOUT ME. I'M A SMALL BUSINESSMAN. UM OUR COMPANY, WHICH IS HE'S VERY WHITE AND VAN SANT IS A LAW FIRM ABOUT 20 EMPLOYEES. WE DO A BROAD CIVIL PRACTICE PRIMARILY ENGAGED IN BUSINESS AND PROPERTY LITIGATION. THE UM WE DO A FAIR AMOUNT OF GOVERNMENTAL INTERFACE WHERE WE REPRESENT GOVERNMENTS, EITHER CITY ATTORNEY ATTORNEY FOR THE CITY OR SPECIAL COUNSEL. UM SO, FOR INSTANCE, RIGHT NOW REPRESENT DIDN'T COUNTING EMINENT DOMAIN ON CLEVELAND GIBBS ROAD IS ONE OF THOSE EXAMPLES. THE POPULATION OF THE DISTRICT ABOUT 186,000 PEOPLE, SO IT'S PRETTY LARGE. A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT MY COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES. I WAS CHAIRMAN OF THE BORDER THAT DIDN'T CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ON THE PAST, PRESIDENT OF THE TEXAS STATE ASSOCIATION OF PARLIAMENTARIANS AND CURRENTLY SERVES AS THE PARLIAMENT TERMS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF TEXAS. I WAS A PRESIDENT THAT DENTON COUNTY BAR SOC ATION AND I WAS THE CHAIRMAN OF THE DIDN'T KIND OF REPUBLICAN PARTY FOR THREE TERMS. SO SCOUTMASTER AND I HAVE TO EAGLE SCOUT SCIENCE. I'M CURRENTLY THE VAST PRESIDENT OR TEXAS MOBILITY . CORPORATIONS WERE CHARGED WITH THE BEST SIDE OF THE DENTON COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY. THE CAMPAIGN CALENDAR IS SHORT AS YOU JUST KIND OF SAW A LITTLE BIT. FILING DEADLINE IS MONDAY AND THEN THE BALLOT DRAWS THE 23RD AND THEN EARLY VOTING STARTS FEBRUARY 14TH THAT SOMETHING LIKE 68 DAYS AWAY WHEN VOTING BEGINS. THEN THAT ELECTION IS ON FEBRUARY THE FIRST TO TELL YOU ABOUT SOME OF THE IMPORTANT ISSUES AS I'VE GONE AROUND AND TALK TO PEOPLE. ROADS IS THE MAYOR LED OFF WITHY WITH 35 47. THERE WILL BE HAVE TO BE MORE DOLLARS DEDICATED TO ROADS AND DIDN'T COUNT BECAUSE OF OUR EXPLOSIVE GROWTH. NOW I WOULDN'T KEEP IN TIME THERE SO YOU CAN GIVE ME A 32ND WARNING. I APPRECIATE IT. WE'RE ABOUT IT . THREE MINUTES, SO I'LL SAY THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME ONE SECOND COUNCIL COULDN'T GIVE HIM ONE MORE MINUTE TO WRAP UP. I APOLOGIZE. I DID NOT GIVE HIM HIS THREE MINUTES WARNING. GO AHEAD, RICHARD. WELL, I WOULD JUST SAY THE WEBSITE IS HAYES FOR HOUSE. 57 IS A JY SFOR HOUSE. 57 .COM. YOU CAN PUT RICHARD AT IN FRONT OF THAT, AND YOU CAN COMMUNICATE WITH ME.

LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR THE TIME TO ADDRESS YOU THIS EVENING. I LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING EACH OF YOU PERSONALLY HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO MEET A COUPLE OF YOU IN THE PAST AND I'M EAGER TO LISTEN TO WHAT YOUR CONCERNS ARE. THE MAYOR HAS. SHARED SOME OF THE CONCERNS OF YOUR COMMUNITY, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN MORE. THANK YOU. UHH! OKAY? LEAST KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT TEXAS ELECTION WAS ETCETERA. DOES IT CREATE ANY KIND OF CONFLICT THAT SHOULD BE WORKING ON SOMETHING? AND CLEVELAND GIBBS AND BEING ALSO ARE REPRESENTATIVE. NO THERE IS WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATUTE UNDER OUR THE TEXAS LAW, NO, SO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE MANY STATE REPRESENTATIVES THAT UM. HAVE REGULAR EMPLOYMENT WITH GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES, SO IT'S ONLY IF IT DIRECTLY AFFECTS THE LEGISLATURE SEEMS TO BE THE RULE. THE GOOD NEWS IS CLEVELAND GIVES ARE TO BE OVER AND DONE WITH. OUR JURY TRIAL IS SET FOR FEBRUARY. THE SEVENTH I BELIEVE IS TODAY, FEBRUARY 14TH SO THAT ALL BE OVER AND DONE WITH BY THE TIME WE HAVE THE PRIMARY AND LONG BEFORE THE GENERAL ELECTION , SO EVEN IF YOU WIN THE PRIMARY MARCH, 1ST YOU STILL HAVE TO RUN IN NOVEMBER. AND THAT ISSUE SHOULD BE RESOLVED SO YOU WOULDN'T ACCEPT US AND SIMILAR SITUATION AFTER YOU'VE WON.

WELL, IT KIND OF DEPENDS ON THE CIRCUMSTANCE IT IS. YOU KNOW, WE LOOK AT EACH ONE INDIVIDUALLY.

FORTUNATELY THEIR ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OPINIONS AND CASE LAW THAT GUIDE US ON WHETHER THAT WOULD BE AN ISSUE OR NOT. HOW WOULD YOUR OWN PERSONAL FEELINGS GUIDE YOU? HAVING MY OWN PERSONAL FEELINGS GUIDE ME. WELL WE DECLINED BUSINESS ALL THE TIME FOR VARIOUS REASONS, SO WE ALWAYS RUN CONFLICTS CHECKS. SO IF SOMEBODY SAYS, HEY, I WANT TO GET AFTER SO AND SO WE GET EVERYBODY'S NAMES WHO RUNNING THROUGH OUR CONFLICT SOFTWARE. AND THEN WE DO THE SAME THING ON ISSUE BASED, SO THAT'S A STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE THAT WE DO ON A DAILY BASIS. SO JUST LAST WEEK, FOR INSTANCE, WE HAD TO DECLINE AND WE DID DECLINE. BECAUSE WE FELT WHILE THEY'RE WINNING, TENTACLE CONFLICT THAT WAS THE APPROPRIATE THING TO DO IN THAT

[5.Q. Consider an amendment to Realty Capital (The Highlands) Development Agreement for paving of Mulkey, future Florance and Northwest Crossing ]

[01:10:02]

THIS WOULD TAKE YOU. FROM. THE PAVED PART ALL THE ALL THE WAY DOWN PAST ALLEY ENTRANCE ALL THE WAY TO THE OUTDOOR LEARNING CENTER, DOWN TO WHERE THE ROAD CURVES BACK TO THE EAST. AND AGAIN, IT'S ROUGHLY ABOUT HALF THE TOWN. UM PAYS FOR THE STABILIZATION AND PER AGREEMENT . THE DEVELOPER BUILDS THE TWO INCH ASPHALT OVERLAY. PROJECT FIVE IS. FURTHER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. THE DEVELOPER WAS TO DO A CHIP SEAL. WE ASKED THEM TO COST OUT AND THESE ARE THEIR COST, WITH THEIR UNDER CONTRACT TO DO A SIMILAR PAVEMENT THAT WE HAVE. FROM THE NORTH SOUTH PORTION RIGHT FROM PHASE TWO AND PHASE THREE. AND HAVE THAT ON THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARY OF THE HIGHLANDS, AND THAT WOULD BE ROUGHLY $201,000 AND THE. WE WOULD APPLY WHAT THE DEVELOPER WAS GOING TO PAY. FOR THE CHIP SEAL AND APPLY IT TOWARDS THE ASPHALT OVERLAY. AND SO THE DELTA FOR THE TOWN WOULD BE $145,000. SO. THE OPTIONS OF TAKING. IT'S 407 THE REST OF THAT ROAD. YOU ARE PROJECT ONE B AND C. UM THE STUFF THAT NEEDS TO GET DONE WOULD BE OUR PORTION OF THE STABILIZATION. THE. NETTING OUT THE CHIP SEAL FROM THE ASPHALT OVERLAY WITH STABILIZATION. TOO BAD ABOUT $201,000 LESS THE. SUBTRACTED FROM THE 3 86. WHERE YOU HELP ME WITH THAT MATH THAT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT 11 84. RIGHT 184,000 REMEMBER THAT? THAT PROJECT TO BE TO GO ACROSS, WAS ABOUT TO 72 . SO WE'RE ABOUT WE'RE ABOUT 90,090. 90 18 88,000 FROM. FROM HAVING A CONSISTENT ROAD FROM THE. SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE HIGHLANDS ALL THE WAY TO 407. NO I MISSPOKE ON SCENARIO. ONE OF FOUR LANES IS HIS ONLY IS 1.8 MILLION TO GO. TWO LANES AND DENTIST. DID WE COST OUT THAT 4 75. IS THAT CONNECTING TO FOUR OR SEVEN? TO GIVE HIM THE SLIP ROAD OUT BEFORE SEVEN. SO IF THE TOWN WOULD LIKE. THE DEVELOPER TO BUILD AS THEY'VE SHOWN, AND

[01:15:05]

BUT I'M NOT SUGGESTING EITHER ONE AT THIS POINT. BUT AS FAR AS THE FUTURE, EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS INTERIM. IT'S NOT TEMPORARY, BUT ITS INTERIM. AN INTERIM MEANING.

THIS IS EVENTUALLY WHEN 47 IS BUILT. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT AS WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER. 2028 UM.

AND THEN 11. 71 IS COMING ABOUT THE SAME TIME FRAME AT THIS POINT. THAT'S NOT CONFIRMED, BUT IT'S KIND OF TRAINING THAT DIRECTION, SO I'M THINKING THAT FOR A 7 11 71 MAY BE CONSTRUCTED IN A SIMILAR TIME FRAME. AND THEN SOMEWHERE IN THAT TIME FRAME, AS WELL LATER IN THE DECADE IS WHEN THE HIGH SCHOOL MIDDLE SCHOOL COMPLEX IS GOING TO COME ONLINE. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A HUGE IMPACT AND TRAFFIC CONSIDERATION ON THE SOUTH END, IT BECOMES SQUARE.

LATER IN THE DECADE. UM. TO BUILD THE FOUR LANE FROM 407 TO 11 71 ACCORDING TO OUR MASTER PLAN, WHICH IS PROBABLY GONNA BE NEEDED ABOUT THAT TIME. THAT WOULD BE SORT OF THE NEXT PHASE OF THIS AREA. AS A PROPOSAL, SO IF WE THINK OUT 789 10 YEARS HERE. WE WOULD NEED TO BUILD THE SECTION BETWEEN FOUR OR 7 11 71. PERHAPS FOUR LANES. THAT'S A VERY SIGNIFICANT PROJECT. AND NOT SOMETHING WE CAN EVEN REALLY BEGIN TO DENT AT THIS POINT. BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S ON THE HORIZON. SO IF WE THIS WHAT WE'RE BUILDING HERE, AS YOU CONSIDER THIS HAS GOT TO LAST FOR THAT. MINIMUM FIVE, PROBABLY SEVEN YEAR TIMEFRAME. WHAT DO WE NEED IN 5 TO 7 YEARS TO SERVE THESE COMMUNITIES BEFORE THAT MAJOR HIGH SCHOOL COMES IN, AND THEN THERE'S POTENTIALLY TRAFFICKED, NEEDING TO GO TO JUSTIN. SO THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE NEED TO BE CONSIDERING.

SO WHAT KIND OF SURFACES DO YOU NEED? AS YOU RECALL THE PORTION FROM NORTHWEST CROSSING THE 407 IS DESIGNED IN CONCRETE. THE SLIP ROAD IS DESIGNED AND ASPHALT ENCASED WITH CONCRETE EDGES. MULKI TO THE EAST IS GRAVEL. NORTHWEST CROSSING TO THE SOUTH MONKEYS. ALMOST GRAVEL , RIGHT, RIGHT, BUT TO THE SOUTH PORTION HAS BEEN ASPHALT OVER LAID. DOWN TO PORTION OF IT ALONG THE HIGHLAND SCREWED IN A LITTLE BIT MORE, JOHN THAT PURPLE? YEAH AND THEN THE SECTION IN YELLOW HASN'T BEEN BUILT QUITE YET, BUT SHOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT'S ABOVE AND IN THE SECTION ON THE BOTTOM IS CURRENTLY A CHIP SEAL, WHICH IS NOT QUITE THE SAME SURFACE AS CURRENTLY GRAVEL. IT'S PROPOSED TO BE CHIP SEAL, RIGHT? SO THE NORTH SOUTH CORRIDOR IF BUILT, AS IS WE WOULD HAVE BASICALLY FOUR DIFFERENT SURFACES. SO IN A BAD REPAIR, NORTHWEST CROSSING 24 AND SEVEN A CONCRETE TWO LANE ABOVE IT. AND THEN AN ASPHALT NORTH SOUTH FROM NORTHWEST CROSSING DOWN TO THE CORNER AND THEN THE CHIP SEAL FROM THE CORNER OVER THE PECAN SQUARE.

THAT'S THE AS IS RIGHT NOW. SO. ONE OF THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS TODAY TASK STAFF WITH AND I KNOW , I ASKED FOR A LOT, AND SO I GOT A LOT BACK HERE TO TRY TO SIFT THROUGH AND NOW IT'S OUR JOB TO TRY TO SIFT THROUGH ALL THIS WAS. WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE TO GIVE A CONSISTENT ROAD SERVICE AND WHERE IN COMPONENTS SO THAT WE CAN DECIDE WHAT WE CAN AFFORD AT THIS POINT AND HOW WE CAN IMPROVE MOBILITY ALL AROUND THIS COMMUNITY? NOW PECAN SQUARE TO THE TO THE EAST AND MARQUEE IS GOING TO BE DONE AS PART OF THE PECAN SQUARES, SO THEY'RE GOING TO GET TO THAT

[01:20:03]

TO A AWKWARD INTERSECTION BETWEEN FOUR OR SEVEN, A FOUR LANE ROAD IN A TWO LANE ROAD.

FOR A LOT OF MONEY. YEAH SO THAT WOULD BE AWKWARD AND UNSAFE. IN MY OPINION, ALRIGHT. SEE ANY REASON WHY WE SHOULD BUILD A FOUR LANE ROAD UNTIL THE WHOLE FORM LANE ROAD IS BUILT BECAUSE THERE'S A WHOLE SECTION OF FLORENCE NORTH OF THAT. THAT'S TWO LANES. THAT SEEMS UNSAFE.

THEN, ON TOP OF THAT. WE DON'T KNOW THAT ULTIMATE GREATER FOR SEVEN WHEN IT GETS WIDENED, SO WHY GO TO ROAD TODAY? IT CUT IT UP IN A FEW YEARS. YES SO I WOULD SAY THE CONNECTION BETWEEN FOUR AND SEVEN AND THE SLIP STREETS RIGHT NOW THAT. INTERIM SECTIONS SHOULD PROBABLY BE OFF THE TABLE FOR RIGHT NOW. CAN YOU COMMENT DREW? BECAUSE THESE NUMBERS CAME BACK A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN I WAS THINKING. I WAS THINKING LIKE THAT IN DENNIS CAN TALK ABOUT THAT, TOO. BUT THE 5 60 IS IF WE STARTED FROM SCRATCH AND BUILD IT OUT AND MADE THE CONTRACTOR BOND AND, UH , WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO TAKE OVER THEIR DESIGN. WE PROBABLY WANT TO LOOK AT IT AGAIN. SO THE 5 60 IS THERE 3 86 BECAUSE THEY'VE ALREADY DESIGNED IT. THEY THIS IS THEIR PAVING PORTION OF IT. I GET IT. SO WHAT I'M ASKING IS THE CONNECTION TO 407. THE. SO HANG ON A SECOND. YOU'VE GOT IN YOUR NUMBERS 475,000 FOR TOWN COSTS TO BASICALLY GETS FROM WHAT THEY'RE OBLIGATED TO BUILD AND GET IT CONNECTED AND FINISH THAT SECTION. HOW MUCH OF THAT IS RELATED TO THE CONNECTION FOR US SEVEN VERSUS JUST THE PAVEMENT TO GET THERE. BECAUSE I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IF 14 SEVENS BUILT THAT THEY'LL DESIGN THE INTERCHANGE. YES SO HOW MUCH IS THIS IS INTERCHANGE THAT WE'RE PAYING FOR THAT WOULD BE EFFECTIVELY. WE'RE JUST CONNECTING TO THE EXISTING GRADE . WE'RE JUST AND I THINK DENNIS WILL TAKE. IN GO UP TO THAT TIME . I THINK WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THE TWO INTERNAL LANES, SO WE MATCH UP A LITTLE CLOSER TO. NOW THE ESTIMATE ONLY INCLUDED BUILDING UP TO EXISTING PAVEMENT ON FOUR OR SEVEN. AND THE THEORY ON ON THIS. I LOOKED AT THIS IF WE DID DO A FOUR LANE CONNECTION . WHAT WE WOULD DO IS WE WOULD ADD A LEFT TURN LANE NORTH BONG AT THE INTERSECTION. AND IT WOULD BE AN OFFSET INTERSECTION SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU HAVE AT CLEVELAND. GIBBS GOING SOUTHBOUND RIGHT NOW. FLORENCE IS A LITTLE BIT NARROWER BECAUSE CLEVELAND GIBBS IS THREE LANES AND YOU'RE ONLY DEALING WITH TWO. SO YOU WOULD HAVE A SHIFT WE'D HAVE. OUTSIDE LANES PAINTED OFF THAT WE'RE NOT USING. AND THAT'S ALL WE WOULD HAVE IN THIS ESTIMATE, SO THAT'S THERE'S NO INTERCHANGE COSTS THAT YOU'RE THINKING. SORRY. 4 75 IS JUST TO GET THERE AND CONNECT. ALL RIGHT, SO IT'S GOING TO BE ALL 4 75. FOR THE TOWN PORTION. OKAY.

ALRIGHT. APPRECIATE THAT CLARITY. ALL RIGHT. WE HAD A FEW . I THINK. I MEAN, IT WAS PRETTY CLEAR TO ALL OF US IN THE LAST MEETING THAT THE HIGHLANDS RESIDENTS WANT US TO MOVE THE ROAD OVER TO THE WESTERN PORTION IF WE BUILD THE TWO LANES. THE QUESTION NOW IS BEFORE THE COUNCIL. IF YOU BUILD THE TWO LANES, YOU. PRETTY MUCH IF YOU'RE GOING TO BUILD THE LANES AND THE SLIP ROAD, YOU NEED TO GO TO 407. SO YOU NEED TO FINISH IT. AND THAT'S GOING TO COST YOU THAT EXTRA 4 75 IN ADDITION TO OTHER PIECES THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO DO. AND YOU HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WE'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT. SO THAT'S THAT'S GOING TO BE DECISION GONNA HAVE TO COME UP WITH TONIGHT. THE ALTERNATIVE IS YOU SCRAP THAT WHOLE SECTION OF ROADWAY LEAVE THE SLIP ROAD FOR THE FUTURE. AND BUILD THE WHOLE ROAD AT ONE POINT IN THE FUTURE TO OUR FOUR LANES, BUT THEN WORK ON THE OTHER COMPONENTS. THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO UPGRADE, SO. WHAT DO YOU ALL THINKING ABOUT THIS PEACE BETWEEN NORTHWEST CROSSING AND 407? WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE? RIGHT NOW. OKAY SO YOU SAID EARLIER THAT THE LET FOR THE PROJECT. 47 IS 2029 5. YOU KNOW, FROM THIS PORTION.

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE EASTERN PORTION YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FROM CLEVELAND KIDS. THE CLEVELAND GIVES THE GATEWAY WILL BE CONSTRUCTED BY 23. SO IT'S GONNA BE LEFT WITHIN MONTHS.

DESIGN AND LEFT WITHIN MONTHS, THE FULL 407 HAS BEEN MOVED UP FROM A LET DATE OF 2029 TO 2025.

[01:25:05]

OKAY, BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOUR YEARS. WELL, MINIMUM. OKAY, SO IF WE LET IT AND 2020. 30 2025 ANOTHER FIVE YEARS. IT'S 10 YEARS WOULD GET TO ENJOY THIS ROAD AND THAT INTERSECTION. IF IT WERE BUILT SEVEN OR 8, 27, OR 28 TO 2 TO THREE YEARS TO DO CONSTRUCTION. OKAY OKAY. I'VE GOT A COUPLE QUESTIONS. SHE MUST LET ME LAY THIS OUT. IF YOU DON'T MIND. WHAT IS THE DEVELOPER? REQUIREMENT. FOUR ROAD, TWO LANES, TWO LANES UP TO THE WHAT'S DESIGNED RIGHT HERE IN THE PURPLE THAT'S FILLED IN. THAT'S THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. OKAY SO EXPLAIN TO ME IF YOU WILL. WHY THIS ROAD CURVES TO THE EAST. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO. WE'RE DECIDING WHERE WE WANT THE ROAD TO GO TONIGHT. OKAY THE ROAD CURVES TO THE EAST BECAUSE THE ULTIMATE ALIGNMENT LINES UP WITH WHAT? WE'RE CALLING MULTI LANE TODAY. MULTI LANE RIGHT NOW . THE CENTER LINE OF MULTI LANE IN THE CENTER LINE OF FLORENCE NORTH OF 47, OR OFFSET ABOUT 50 FT. SO WHEN THE HIGHLANDS PHASE ONE CAME IN. THAT PLATT PROVIDED AN ALIGNMENT TO CONNECT FLORENCE CENTER LINE WITH MULTI CENTER LAND TO THE SOUTH, PRODUCING THE CURVE THAT YOU SEE. YOU CAN ALOE DOING? SYNDROME. ONCE READY.

NORTH OF THE CENTER OF MULTI LIGHT. RIGHT BACK. NOTHING THAT WORRIES SWINGING INTO PEOPLE'S BACKYARDS ARE GETTING CLOSER TO PEOPLE. WELL THAT WAS THE WAY IT WAS PLANTED, AND THAT WAS THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED WHEN THAT ABILITY AND WAS DEVELOPED. DESIGN HAS BEEN EXCEPT. WELL, I MEAN, THEIR BACKYARDS ARE BUILT FOR THAT. ALL THOSE HOUSES ARE THEIR THEIR BACKGROUND. THERE'S ALREADY HAS THAT SHAPE. OUR CITIZENS CAME TO THE COUNCIL MEETING TWO MONTHS AGO AND DISCUSSED. WAS THE IDEA THAT THIS ROAD IS GETTING CLOSER TO THEIR BACKYARDS CLOSER TO THE FENCE LINES. THE PHASE ONE. PLATT SET THE EAST, THE EAST RAGOVOY LINE OF FLORENCE ROAD.

AND OKAY, SO IT'S WHEREVER FOR ROAD AND SO IT CAN. YOU CAN. YOU CAN MOVE IF YOU MOVE IT INTO THE TO THE DEVELOPMENT TO THE WORST , BUT THEN YOU'RE YOU'RE LEFT WITH ADDITIONAL RIGHT OF WAY.

UH, DEAD SPACE. MM. ISN'T THE PART THAT'S SHOWN IN DARK PAD SITES ALREADY BEEN PLOTTED AS WELL. IT'S IN PROCESS. IT'S IN PROCESS, DREW SECOND SAID YES, THEY SUBMITTED IT, OKAY. BUT WE ASKED THIS QUESTION AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING AND WE WERE TOLD IT REALLY IS A STRAIGHT ROAD.

BUT IT JUST LOOKS CURVED. I MISUNDERSTOOD YOU. I THOUGHT YOU MEANT THE CONNECTION AT 407. AT FOUR OR SEVEN AND IT DOES LINE UP AND THAT IS THAT IS A CURVE. IT'S IT MEETS ALL SAFETY STANDARDS, AND IT ACTUALLY. COLUMNS TRAFFIC BEFORE WE GET TO THAT INTERSECTION. AS WE SEE ALL OVER NORTH LAKE AND AS THE. THE POLICE CHIEF OF TESTED MOST ACCIDENTS ARE ON CURVES. THAT'S WHAT HE SAID. SO I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S SO MUCH A CALMING DEVICES. IT IS JUST A WRECK WAITING TO HAPPEN. TRUE AND THAT CURVE AT THE NORTH. WEST CORNER OF THE MAP IS A PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL CURVE. FOUR OF SEVEN, SAID. LET ME ASK CLARIFYING QUESTION HERE. THE RIGHT OF WAY HAS ALREADY BEEN SET IN THE PLANTS, SO IN ORDER TO CONSIDER MOVING THIS ROAD IN TERMS OF THE ALIGNMENT NOW WHETHER WE CONSTRUCT THE WESTERN OR THE EASTERN IS A DECISION THAT WE CAN MAKE TONIGHT. BUT AS FAR AS STRAIGHTENING IT THAT'S GOING TO REQUIRE US GOING BACK AND TAKING LAND FROM THE HIGHLANDS. WHICH MEANS WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GO NEGOTIATE THAT.

CORRECT CORRECT. OKAY, SO THAT'S NOT ON THE TABLE. WE CAN WORK WE CAN WORK ON. ENGINEERING AND WORK ON ALIGNMENT WORK ON STRAIGHTENING ALL THAT, BUT THAT'S NOT IN FRONT OF US TONIGHT. WHAT IS IN FRONT OF US TONIGHT IS DO YOU WANT THE TWO LANES AS DESIGNED IN THE WESTERN SECTION, WHICH WE'VE KIND OF ALREADY HEARD FROM AND KIND OF WE HAD CONSENSUS LAST TIME THAT IF BUILT. IT WOULD BE THE WESTERN TWO LANES AT THIS POINT , BUT THIS LOOP WITH TWO DIFFERENT ROADWAYS FOR A DOZEN HOMES. THAT'S THE QUESTION IS YOU WANT TO EXTEND IT UP TO 47 FOR ANOTHER HALF A MILLION DOLLARS? OR DO YOU WANT TO JUST TAKE THE MONEY FROM THIS WHOLE

[01:30:03]

RIGHT SO MY POINT IS, IS THAT BACK TO MY POINT? OUR SCOPE OF OUR DISCUSSION IS WHETHER OR NOT WE WANT THIS TWO LANE EXTENSION UP TO THE DEAD END THAT IT IS TODAY AT THIS TIME, OR TAKE THE MONEY AND APPLY IT ELSEWHERE. AS FAR AS WHAT WE ACTUALLY CONSTRUCT. WE STILL HAVE TIME TO WORK ON THAT IF WE DON'T ASK FOR THIS TWO LANE AND WE USED THE MONEY ELSEWHERE, WE HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD TO WORK ON GETTING THE ALIGNMENT, GETTING THE RIGHT AWAY AND GETTING THIS, YOU KNOW, ADJUSTED SO THAT IT'S STRAIGHT. BUT THAT'S NOT THE TOPIC OF OUR CONVERSATION TONIGHT. BUT YOU JUST SAID WE COULDN'T DO THAT BECAUSE UPON SUBMISSION BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME TO GO RENEGOTIATE THAT. SO IF YOU WANT TO DO THAT, IT CAN HAPPEN. WE CAN GO NEGOTIATE THAT, BUT WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO WITH THE MONEY THAT ARE PRESENTLY AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO START CONSTRUCTING HERE SOON, BASED ON THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, UNLESS WE SAY NO. SO DO WE WANT TO SCRAP THE TWO LANES UNTIL WE GET A BETTER ENGINEERING DESIGN AND USE THE MONEY ELSEWHERE? DO WE WANT TO BUILD THE TWO LANES AND FIND OUT WE'RE GOING TO FIND ANOTHER HALF A MILLION DOLLARS IN CONNECTED ALL THE WAY UP WITH CONCRETE AND THEN TAKE THE CHIP SEAL. AND THE YOU KNOW THE MONKEY AS IS IN THE NORTH SOUTH SECTION AND ASPHALT. DO WE WANT TO DO THAT? I'M TRYING TO GET US INTO A COMPONENT DECISION HERE. AND THAT'S THE DECISION IS. DO YOU WANT TO BUILD THIS TWO LANES OR NOT? YOU'RE MAKING THE COTTON. YOUR BANKING. THE COMMENTS SCRAPPED THE TWO LANES. ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SCRIPT TWO OF FOUR LANES. RIGHT NOW THEY'RE OBLIGATED TO BUILD TWO LANES NORTH SOUTH TO THIS POINT AND THE ACTION ITEM BEFORE YOU IS BUILD IT OR DON'T BUILD IT AND TAKE IF YOU DON'T BUILD IT, USE THE MONEY ELSEWHERE FOR NOW, AND THAT'LL BE CONSTRUCTED AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE. AT THE TOWN'S COST, OR LET THEM BUILD THE TWO LANES AND IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE A YOU KNOW, HORSESHOE THERE. UNLESS YOU SPEND SOME MORE MONEY TO CONNECT IT AT THE TOP. I WOULD PREFER TO COME OUT OF THIS MEETING WITH A CONSISTENT ROAD SURFACE. THROUGH THE AREA THAT YOU WANT AND MAKE SURE THAT IT CONNECTS TO WHERE YOU WANT IT TO GO OTHERWISE. YOU KNOW, FINISH SOMETHING. THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING YOU TO DO. AND IF YOU WANT TO FINISH THAT SECTION, THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY INVOLVED. IF YOU WANT TO USE THAT MONEY ELSEWHERE THAN JUST SAY, WE DON'T WANT TO BUILD THE TWO LANES RIGHT NOW. WE APPLY IT ELSEWHERE AND WE KEEP MOVING.

BUT THE DECISION HAS BUILDER DON'T BUILD IT. THINGS START GIVING THE OPINIONS IF YOU WANT TO GET THIS THING, BALL ROLLING . I MEAN, I DON'T THINK THOSE TWO LINES ARE NECESSARY AT THIS PARTICULAR MOMENT, AND WE HAVE A LOT OF ROAD REPAIRS IN THAT AREA THAT WE COULD USE THAT MONEY FOR SO. I MEAN, WHERE THE ALIGNMENT IS RIGHT. I SEE AS HARTMAN'S POINT HERE. I'LL COUNTER THAT WITH A LITTLE BIT IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE THAT SMALL CURVE, AND I THINK WHEN, WHEN CHIEF SAYS THAT WE HAVE ACCIDENTS AND CURVES. HE'S TALKING ABOUT THIS CURVE RIGHT OVER HERE AND THE CURVE RIGHT THROUGH IN FRONT OF, YOU KNOW, HARDMAN PROPERTY TO THE SOUTH THERE. THOSE ARE 90 DEGREE TURNS INSIDE OF, YOU KNOW, 400 FT. THAT'S A. AND AT 50 MILES AN HOUR, RIGHT, WHEREAS THIS IS LITERALLY TOO SMALL TERMS THAT TRAVERSE 50 FT, SO I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S A HUGE SAFETY THING . AND IF YOU STRAIGHTENED IT NOW YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE. FOR SEVEN AND INTERSECTION. THAT'S 10 DEGREES AS OPPOSED TO, YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING TO BE AT 80 DEGREES INSTEAD OF EXACTLY AT 90, SO I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S A HUGE BENEFIT OF STRAIGHTENING THAT. I MEAN, MAYBE BUILD THE LEFT BUILD THE RIGHT. BUT I MEAN, I THINK THE BENEFIT TO THAT WAS ALL THE CITIZENS OF CANADA COUNCIL MANY I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WERE HERE FOR THAT MEETING, AND I WOULD I WOULD COUNTER THAT WITH THEY WERE ALL GIVEN A PLOT OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. WHEN THEY BOUGHT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS THAT ONE POINT AT ONE POINT GOING TO BE A ROAD. IN THEIR BACKYARD WHERE THEY NOT GIVEN A PLOT OR YOU UNDER. I MEAN, THERE'S A CITIZEN THAT LIVES ON THAT CORNER RIGHT HERE. WE CAN ASK HIM. WE HEARD FROM THE CITIZENS LAST TIME. THEY TOLD US VERY CLEARLY THAT IF THE ROADWAY. IS TO BE BUILT. THEY WOULD PREFER THAT THE TWO LANES IN THE WEST TO BE CONSTRUCTED AND THAT'S TOTALLY UNDERSTANDABLE. AND I THINK WE'RE ALL UNIVERSALLY AGREED WITH THAT. YES SO IF WE COME OUT OF HERE WITH ANY CHANGE , IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE THAT SURE. THE QUESTION IS, DO YOU WANT TO BUILD TWO LANES AT ALL? IF SO, I WANT TO CONNECT IT TO 407. BUT AT THIS POINT. MY VIEW IS IT'S NOT NEEDED THERE. I'D RATHER PUT THE MONEY INTO THE REST OF MULKEY AND NORTHWEST CROSSING AT THIS POINT. THAT'S MY DIC. I AGREE. I CONCUR. WHERE

[01:35:05]

AND IN MY VIEW, WE HAVE OPPORTUNITY THEN TO BUILD TWO OR FOUR LANES AT SUCH TIME IN THE FUTURE AND DO THE WHOLE SEGMENT CONSISTENT AND ENGINEER IT THE WAY WE WANT IT. I'M HAPPY TO START THAT PROCESS OF NEGOTIATING TO GET THE RIGHT OF WAY ADJUSTED SO THAT THE ROADWAYS STRAIGHT. THAT'S FINE BY ME. I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH STRAIGHTENING THE ROAD IF THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO DO. PERSONALLY I JUST DON'T WANT TO BUILD THIS SECTION RIGHT NOW. I DON'T THINK IT MAKES SENSE FOR US TO SPEND THE MONEY AND I DON'T THINK IT IT MAKES SENSE FROM AN ACCESS STANDPOINT TO HAVE PARALLEL ROADS. FOR THE NEXT COUPLE YEARS. SO DID WE REACH CONSENSUS ON THAT POINT ENOUGH TO MOVE ON AND CHOOSE THE PROJECT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE. I THINK WE'RE REPLETE WITH STORIES OF BUILDING HOUSES BEFORE EXPANDING ROADS. SO WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS BUILDING THIS ENTIRE SECTION OF HOUSING AND THEN COMING IN. AND BULLDOZING EVERYBODY. WHAT'S IN FRONT OF THESE HOUSES, SO THEY'RE GONNA HAVE ACCESS ISSUES TO CONNECT. 47. TO MARK THE LINE WHEN WE EVENTUALLY DO THAT, WELL, THAT LOWER SECTION WOULD ALREADY BE BUILT, SO WE'D BE BUILDING A BRIDGE IN THE GRASS AND FRONT OF THE ROAD THAT THEIR HOUSES ON IT WOULDN'T AFFECT THEM AT ALL. YOU KNOW, SLIP ROAD WILL REMAIN. THERE WILL BE NO CHANGES TO THE SLIP ROAD WHEN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE FUTURE IS COMPLETE. IT'S ALL IN THE RIGHT AWAY. IT'S A BIT OF THE GREEN SPACE. IT'S IN FRONT OF THEIR BECAUSE THERE'S TWO ACCESS POINTS AND IN THE FUTURE WHEN YOU DECIDED TO BUILD THIS ROAD, WE COULD STAGE IT SO THEY COULD COME OUT THE NORTH OF THAT COULD COME OUT TO SOUTH. AT THIS POINT, IT LEAVES THE WHOLE OPENS . IT LEAVES THE ENTIRE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE SLIP ROAD AND THE BACK OF THE HIGHLANDS. TODAY AS OPEN SPACE WE'RE GOING TO RECEDE IT AND PUT IT BACK TO GRASS FOR THE NEXT SEVEN YEARS. WHICH.

THAT SOUNDED LIKE WHAT THEY REALLY WANTED FOR THE FUTURE IN THE COMMENTS THAT I HEARD FROM PUBLIC COMMENT LAST TIME. ARE THE PEOPLE FROM THE HIGHLANDS HERE? THAT WHAT YOU WANT? ALL THE HIGHLANDS PEOPLE. IS THAT JUST YOU, BRIAN? OKAY YES, THAT WAS WHAT WE ASKED FOR. LAST TIME . CONSIDER TAKING MONEY GOING TO GREEN SPACE TO OUR FUTURE. AND HOW MUCH DO WE GET FROM THE DEVELOPER? IF WE JUST TAKE THE MONEY STRAIGHT UP IS THAT THE 3663636? OKAY? UHH WELL, HANG ON A SECOND. THAT'S GOING TO TAKE THIS IN PIECES. HE'S ALREADY MAKING MOTIONS HERE. WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT THE REST OF IT. YEAH SO YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T LEAVE THIS TOPIC BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO CONSTRUCT ANOTHER SECTION HERE THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE. SO THE SECTION AND PURPLE CAN WE ROLL UP A LITTLE BIT ON THE SCREEN? AGAIN I'M SORRY. CAN YOU ROLL THE PRESENTATION UP A LITTLE BIT? I NEED TO SEE THE PURPLE SECTION ON THE BOTTOM. OH, GO DOWN. YEAH, SORRY. OKAY SO THE PURPLE SECTION IS COMPLETE? YES, SIR. THE ORANGE SECTION WILL BE BUILT TO THE STANDARDS OF THE NORTH SECTION. SO BE CONSISTENT FROM THE NORTH SOUTH SECTION WILL BE CONSISTENT, RIGHT? YES, SIR. AND THAT'S ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF. YES, SIR. OKAY, THAT'S ALREADY BUDGET. YES, SIR. EVERYTHING'S PAID FOR. THEY COULD TICKETING HERE. 55 56. YEAH, ALL RIGHT.

TALKING ABOUT THE TWO LINES ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE ROAD, HE SAID. MONKEY THE VERTICAL YES, THE NORTH. I'LL. EAST SIDE OF IT, THEN ORANGE SECTION WILL BE IN THE CENTER OF THE RIGHT AWAY IN THE FUTURE, IT'LL WHEN WE DECIDED TO BUILD THE FOUR LANE DIVIDED. IT'S AN INTERIM ROAD, AS THE MAYOR SAID, BUT IT MIGHT BE INTERIM FOR 5 TO 10 YEARS. SO THE CURRENT THE CURRENT LOCATION OF THE GRAVEL IS WHERE WE'LL BE BUILDING IT UP AND PUT AN ASPHALT ON TOP OF THAT CORRECT.

IT IS A QUASI PAVED ROAD. I BELIEVE, UH UM. NIGHTMARE. LITTLE ARNOLD PAVED THAT. AND IT HAD ITS BUT IT IS IN NEED OF SOME MAJOR. THERE'S MORE ASPHALT IN POTHOLES IN THERE IS TRUE EXISTENCE. IT'S NOT TECHNICALLY GRAVEL, BUT IT'S ALMOST SO WHEN THAT'S DONE. THE VERTICAL WILL BE CONSISTENT ROAD SURFACE IN GOOD REPAIR. YES SIR. QUESTION IS THIS IS THE CENTER LINE OF EXISTING MULKEY GOING TO BE THE CENTER LINE OF EVENTUAL MULKEY WHEN IT'S. FOUR LINE DIVIDED. I NEED TO KNOW OUR TWO LINES COMING FROM THE EAST. TWO LINES COMING FROM THE RIGHT OR YOU'RE HAVING A LAUGH ABOUT SOMETHING. IS THERE SOMETHING I SAID IT WAS FUNNY, OKAY, I'M JUST TRYING TO

[01:40:03]

IT'S A PROJECT THROWING OUT THE WINDOW WILL BE RESPONSIBLE THEN FOR TORN UP ROAD. ALRIGHT, SO IT'S SO IT'S GRAVEL. SO YOU DO YOU WANT TO LEAVE IT GRAVEL UNTIL CONSTRUCTION IS DONE. ARE YOU SAYING CHIP? SEAL IT NOW AND LET THEM TEAR IT UP AND WE FIX IT HELPED ME UNDERSTAND WHAT CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC. TO EXPECT ON THIS SECTION, MR MOORE. OUR COUNTRY. ISN'T THE SCHOOL'S GONNA BE DOWN. THE OUTDOOR LEARNING CENTER IS DOWN THERE NOW THE MIDDLE SCHOOL WILL BE UE WHAT THE PROJECTION IS, BUT THERE'LL BE A NORTHWEST. I SD MIDDLE SCHOOL DOWN THERE. SORRY, MR MARWOOD. WHAT CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC. MOST OF THE CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC SQUARE IS GOING TO COME OFF CLEVELAND GIBBS OR FOUR OR SEVEN. UM VERY FEW CARS COME THROUGH HERE. THE SECTION IN PHASE THREE THAT'S COMPLETED HAS BEEN HOLDING UP PRETTY WELL. IT'S MAINLY, UM, PASSENGER CARS. WE HAVEN'T SEEN A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC. UM. AGAIN I THINK MOST MOST CONTRACTORS, MOST TRUCKS ARE GOING TO BE COMING FROM THE EAST. NOT FROM THIS DIRECTION.

AND THEN AGAIN, AS THE MAYOR SAID, WE'VE SEEN CHIP SEAL, UM ON STRAIGHTER THAT HAS HAS DETERIORATED HOLDER IS ACTUALLY HOLDING UP BECAUSE IT DOESN'T GET QUITE THAT MUCH TRAFFIC. BUE BROUGHT UP A GOOD POINT. SO LET ME LAY OUT A COUPLE OPTIONS HERE. SO ONE IS WE LEAVE IT GRAVEL UNTIL SUCH TIME AS PECAN SQUARE COMES IN, AND MAYBE WE CONTINUE THE CONCRETE SURFACE TO THE WEST. THAT'S GONNA BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE BUT YOU COULD POCKET THIS 1 45 AND LEAVE IT GRAVEL FOR NOW. UNTIL YOU GET TO THAT 0.55 55. OKAY, SO THERE'S ALREADY A PARTNERSHIP IS 1 45.

NO, THAT WAS OUR ESTIMATE. SO THE ACTUAL ESTIMATE THAT THE CONTRACT TO DEVELOPER HAS UNDER CONTRACT IS 55. 55,000 IS WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO SPEND ON IT. OKAY TO GET IT, CHIP SEAL. SAID.

WE WANT THEM FOR 55,000 CHIP, SEAL IT AND LEAVE IT AND LET IT BUT WHATEVER HAPPENS TO IT HAPPENS TO IT UNTIL PECAN SQUARE GETS THERE, AND THEN WE DO SOMETHING WITH THE CONTINUATION OF THE ROAD SERVICE OF TRAFFIC WARRANTS. IT DO YOU? UPGRADE IT FROM CHIP SEAL TO ASPHALT, WHICH HAS WHICH IS ON THE VERTICAL. HOW MUCH WOULD THAT COST? I BELIEVE THE COST OF THAT PART.

TWO. WE APPLY THAT WE APPLY THE 55,000 AND TWO THE 21 WOULD BE ABOUT 145,000. OKAY SO OUR ESTIMATE COSTS WILL BE 1 45 TO ASPHALT. THIS SECTION SO IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE VERTICAL.

[01:45:01]

CONCRETE YOU'D SWITCH THERE OR YOU SWITCH AT THE CORNER OF THE OUTDOOR LEARNING CENTER, SO YOU'RE GOING TO SWITCH SURFACES AT ONE OF THOSE TWO POINTS. WHAT CONCRETE. ESTIMATE ON TWO LANE CONCRETE TO UPGRADE THIS SECTION OF CHIP SEAL FROM PECAN SQUARE TO THE CORNER AND OUTDOOR LEARNING CENTER. I DON'T KNOW IF WE WANT TO DO A CONCRETE WITHOUT A FULL RIGHT AWAY AND DRAINAGE.

I DON'T I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THAT BUT AT FULL RIGHT AWAY. IS THAT. A MILE IS THAT A MILLION? PER LANE. OKAY SO A LOT MORE ALRIGHT, SO 10 TIMES MORE TO GET CONCRETE INSTEAD OF ASPHALT. SO WHAT SERVICE DO YOU WANT? ALL RIGHT. WE WOULD THEN HAVE IF WE WENT TO ASPHALT. WE'D HAVE $240,000 LEFTOVER. WHERE'S THAT? GO? WHAT WE SAW CIRCUIT ON NORTHWEST CROSSING, WHICH IS A REALLY EXPENSIVE. PIECE OF WORK HERE IN A MINUTE, SO I'M TRYING TO GET THIS ONE IRONED OUT BECAUSE THIS ONE IS EASIER ONE. I THINK YOU COULD GO ORANGE AND GREEN AND ASPHALT AND MAKE THAT CONSISTENT. THEIR CONCRETE ASPHALT TRANSITION WORKS WELL, IT CAN BE JOINED WELL. UM. AND THAT WE HAVE CONSISTENCY AROUND THE CORNER AROUND THE HIGHLANDS. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. WE WERE FAIRLY GOOD ON THAT. WHAT DO WE DO? OKAY. WHAT DO WE WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE REMAINDER? YES AND NOW YOU'RE DOWN TO $240,000. LET'S SAY AROUND MATH. CAN WE GO BACK UP TO THE TOP? ALL RIGHT.

YOU GOT $250,000 LEFT. YOUR DECISION THEN IS DO YOU BANK IT FOR THE FUTURE? TWO OR FOUR LANE OUT 579 YEARS, WHATEVER IT IS OR DO WE PUT IT TO WORK TO HELP ACCESS TO 407 FOR THE HIGHLANDS , PARTICULARLY IN THE SOUTH. EVERYBODY FROM NORTHWEST CROSSING DOWN. WILL PROBABLY MAKE FAIRLY GOOD USE OUT OF MULKEY, THE EAST WEST CORRIDOR FROM 407 TO NORTHWEST CROSSING.

YOU'VE GOT $240,000 AT THIS POINT, RECONSTRUCTING THAT INTO WHAT KIND OF SURFACE SO THE 1.7 WOULD BE THE FULL BLOWN, UH, GET THE RIGHT AWAY TO LANE CONCRETE DRAINAGE. THE WE HAD DENNIS GO BACK, AND WE TREATED JUST LIKE WE HAVE. THE ASPHALT OVERLAY IT BE ABOUT 2 72 SO OR SORT OF ABOUT 30,000 AWAY WITH WITH YOUR 2 40 REMAINDER. ALRIGHT JUST TOLD ME THAT EARLIER THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN HELPFUL. I DID. IT WAS IN THERE IT WAS IN AND IT WAS IN ALL THOSE NUMBERS. I APOLOGIZE.

I'M GIVING YOU A HARD TIME BUT THAT THAT'S MUCH BETTER THAN 1.7. AND THEN. SWEATING THAT NUMBER. OKAY SO IT IS FOR CONCRETE WHAT IT WOULD COST. I KNOW. I ASKED FOR ALL OF IT. UM I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THAT. IF THAT WAS 1.7 MILLION FOR ASPHALT. I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO. OKAY, SO. SO WE'VE GOT AN OPPORTUNITY HERE IF YOU TAKE THE 380,000 FROM THE NORTH, WHICH WE JUST KIND OF CAME TO CONSENSUS ON, YOU CAN APPLY IT TO BUILD A TWO LANE ASPHALT REINFORCED BASE FROM 407 TO NORTHWEST CROSSING DOWN TO THE OUTDOOR LEARNING

[01:50:02]

SO HOW SOON ARE THEY NEEDING TO BE CONSTRUCTING THIS BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S A PORTION OF THIS ALREADY MOBILIZING FOR THE ASPHALT PORTION, SO THEY'RE GOING TO DO THIS WHOLE THING IN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS. WHILE EVERYTHING'S STILL BUILDING OUT . UM I THINK THEY'D LIKE TO FINISH UP PHASE THREE. AND YEAH , WELL, THE MOBILIZED THEY WOULD . THEY WOULD HELP THAT ALL THICK , SO OKAY, SO THIS WOULD BE BUILT EARLY CONSTRUCTION DOWN THERE SO THERE WOULD BE SOME CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC FOR THE REMAINING FIFTIES 25 HOMES DOWN THERE. THERE I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY HOMES DOWN THERE YET , BUT THEY'RE GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTED. THAT'S THE POINT IS CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC FOR CONCRETE TRUCKS WOULD BE HEADED DOWN THERE FOR THOSE REMAINING HOMES. OKAY? ALL RIGHT, SO. WITH THAT WRINKLE. YOU FIGURED OUT THE MONEY THE TIMING WOULD BE SOON. DOES THAT GIVE YOU ANY QUALMS ABOUT THE TIMING? I DON'T FULLY UNDERSTAND HOW THE CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC TRAVELS THROUGH THAT AREA RIGHT NOW. SO THAT MAKES THAT QUESTION VERY DIFFICULT. I KNOW THAT THERE'S SIGNAGE FOR PECAN SQUARE THAT ALL CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC COMES IN THROUGH MULKEY. THE QUESTION IS, DO OTHER CONTRACTORS SEE THAT IN? JUST ASSUME THEY NEED TO GO THAT WAY, OR ARE THEY COMING IN ON THE MAIN ENTRANCE OF HIGHLANDS AND DOWN SOUTHERN, YOU KNOW, SO WHERE ARE THE OTHER COUNTRY LEAVE? THEY DO. TO SOME DEGREE, BUT THERE IS A SIGN IS THERE NOT. THEY DO USE MULTILINGUAL EARLY. OKAY SO THAT'S THE PRIMARY CONDUIT, OKAY? SO. OKAY ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION. THANKS FOR BEING HERE. ALL RIGHT. SO WITH THAT. SPRINKLE DO YOU STILL FEEL GOOD ABOUT THAT PROPOSAL? REDEPLOY THE MONEY YOU NEED TO SPEND AN EXTRA 30,000. TO GET IT DONE, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING WE'VE GOT IN THE GENERAL FUND. WE'RE GOOD. HOW MUCH IS THE ROAD THAT IS NORTHWEST CROSSING ALL THE WAY AROUND TO THE SOUTHERN TIP OF HOLLAND'S CONNECTING TO THE CONCRETE. SO JUST THAT SECTION OR DOES IT ALSO INCLUDE THE SMALL SECTION BETWEEN NORTHWEST CROSSING AND 407 MINUTES BEFORE? ALSO INCLUDE THAT'S THE WHOLE THING FOR 30 GRAND YEAH, I THINK IT'S REALLY OKAY. EXCELLENT. ALL RIGHT, MAYOR, PRO TEM DOCTOR SESSIONS YOU GUYS WANTED. I HAVE. DO YOU WANT TO DO THAT MADE A MOTION TO DO. WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS YOU'RE YOU'RE AUTHORIZING THE TOWN MANAGER TO NEGOTIATED AN AGREEMENT AND AMENDMENTS TO THE AGREEMENT. FOR THESE CONDITIONS. YES, TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT AS WE SPECIFIED. AND AUTHORIZING ME TO EXECUTE. YES, SIR. OKAY, YOU'RE GOOD WITH THAT. SHE JUST DOESN'T MAKE IT. MINE NOT YOU. THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE HIGHLANDS. ARE YOU GOOD WITH THAT? ARE YOU THE CONTRACTOR WHO WE HAVE REPRESENTED? DID HE SPOKE TONIGHT? HE'S OUR ENGINEER . IS THERE HALF ENGINEERING? YEAH ALRIGHT, THEY'RE NOT.

THEY'RE NOT HERE. THEY'RE THERE . HE'S GOOD WITH IT. THEY'RE AGNOSTIC. THEY BUILD THE ROAD OR THEY'LL GIVE US THE MONEY OR THEIR PARTNER ON THESE PROJECTS. VERY GOOD. ALRIGHT MOTION IN THE SECOND, LET'S GET TO VOTING, THEN OPEN THE VOTING, PLEASE. YOU NEED A MESS. ALL RIGHT.

THERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR PUTTING UP WITH US WHILE WE WORK THROUGH THAT AT THIS

[5.P. Discussion and consideration of Ordinance 21-1209A approving the issuance and sale of “Town of Northlake, Texas, Combination Tax and Limited Surplus Revenue Certificates of Obligation Series 2021” and approving various documents related to such certificates of obligation]

[01:55:02]

THE AMOUNT THAT MATTERS TO ME IS 7.5. THAT'S WHAT I'VE GOT TO SPEND. BUT THERE'S BOND FEES, AND THERE'S A PREMIUM AND WE ACTUALLY IMPROVED OUR RATING THROUGH THIS PROCESS AS WELL. SO THAT'S IN YOUR PACKETS. AND SO HIGHEST MARTY TO COME UP AND. GIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL AND ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS. THANK. GOOD EVENING COUNCIL. MARTY SHOE WITH HILLTOP SECURITIES. WE REPRESENT THE TOWN INSURE FINANCIAL ADVISOR. ALSO HERE WITH ME THIS EVENING IS LINDSEY EVANS. WE'VE PUT TOGETHER JUST A BRIEF BOOKLET TO GO OVER THE RESULTS OF YOUR BOND SALE. TODAY THESE BONDS WERE SOLD THROUGH A COMPETITIVE SALE. AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS ESSENTIALLY YOUR BONDS WERE PUT OUT ON THE OPEN MARKET IN ANY AND ALL UNDERWRITERS WERE INVITED TO SUBMIT A BID FOR THE RIGHT TO PURCHASE YOUR BONDS AND SELL THEM OUT TO THE PUBLIC. WE UNFORTUNATELY INTENDED TO INCLUDE THE PAGE WITH THE BID RESULTS, BUT IT'S SOMEHOW ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF THE BOOK. SCOTT LEFT OUT, SO I'M JUST GOING TO READ TO YOU. THE PROPOSALS THAT YOU GOT APOLOGIZE . THESE AREN'T INCLUDED FOR YOU TO LOOK AT. YOU DID RECEIVE FIVE BIDS. ROBERT W. BAIRD FH IN FINANCIAL CAPITAL MARKETS, RAYMOND JAMES AND ASSOCIATES. BE OKAY FINANCIAL SECURITIES AND KEEPING CAPITAL MARKETS WHERE ALL OF YOUR PROPOSE EAR'S.

THERE'S USUALLY A LOT OF OTHER BANKS THAT THAT PARTICIPATE AS PART OF THE SYNDICATE. BUT THESE ARE JUST THE FIVE THAT TURNED IT IN. WE LIKE TO SEE A MINIMUM OF THREE BIDS, SO WE'RE HAPPY WITH FIVE. AND ROBERT W. BAIRD CAME IN WITH THE LOWEST PROPOSED TRUE INTEREST COSTS, OR T I C OF A 1.90. AND BEHIND TAB A JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHERE THAT SITS IN RELATION TO THE MARKET.

WE HAVE TAKEN THAT RATE AND GRAFTED AGAINST THE BOND BUYERS INDEX. THIS IS A THIRD PARTY INDEX THAT'S RELEASED. TO TRACK MUNICIPAL MARKET CONDITIONS. OVER TIME, THEY RELEASED A WEEKLY RATE. THE CURRENT WEEKLY RATE IS 2.5% SO AS YOU CAN SEE, YOUR RATE OF FONDS ACTUALLY CAME IN BELOW THAT AT 1.90% I THINK IT'S VERY SIGNIFICANT TO NOTE IN THIS GRAPH. THAT THE 20 YEAR HISTORICAL LOW IS A 2.2% SO YOU'RE EVEN BELOW THAT. IT'S A GREAT TIME TO BE IN THE MARKET VERY FAVORABLE RESULTS. BEHIND HAVE BE WE HAVE INCLUDED A FULL SET OF THE FINAL NUMBERS FOR YOU. WHICH KIND OF DETAILS YOUR COSTS. AT THE END OF THE DAY. THE BONDS HAVE BEEN SIZED OVER A 20 YEAR PERIOD TO HAVE EQUAL ANNUAL PAYMENTS, WHICH ARE ABOUT $395,000 PER YEAR. IT'S KIND OF WHAT THAT INTEREST RATE TRANSLATES TO $1 PAY ABOUT $1.78 MILLION IN INTEREST OVER THE LIFE OF THE DEPTH. WE DID FRONT LOADED. FIRST COUPON OR FIRST PAYMENT. I'M SORRY. JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE. YOU'LL SEE THAT TO USE UP SOME ADDITIONAL DEBT SERVICE FUNDS AND REDUCE YOUR INTEREST OVER TIME THEY ARE PAYING. UM AND PART OF A LARGE PART OF THE FAVORABLE RESULTS IS DIRECTLY DUE TO THE FAVORABLE CREDIT RATING OF THE TOWN. SO IT'S PART OF THE NORMAL BOND ISSUANCE PROCESS. WE HAVE TO GO OUT AND APPLY FOR AND PURCHASE A BOND RATING. THE RATING AGENCY COMES IN, AND CITY STAFF HAS TO ANSWER A BUNCH OF QUESTIONS PROVIDE THEM A BUNCH OF INFORMATION SO THEY CAN DO A FULL CREDIT ASSESSMENT ON THE TOWN. I AM PLEASED TO REPORT THAT STANDARD AND POOR'S HAS ACTUALLY UPGRADED THE TOWN FROM A DOUBLE A MINUS TWO DOUBLE A.

THE CREDIT RATING IS VERY IMPORTANT. IT'S MUCH LIKE YOU OR I ARE OWN PERSONAL CREDIT RATING . THE HIGHER YOUR CREDIT SCORE WHEN YOU GO TO BUY A CAR OR A HOUSE, THE MORE FAVORABLE

[02:00:03]

ALL RIGHT, AND WE HAVE UNANIMOUS WITH ONE ABSTAINED. THE MOTION PASSES. AND WITH THAT I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE US INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION. FACILITIES. NUMBER HERE. I'M SORRY. YEAH, ITEM ARE

[6. Executive Session (Part 2 of 2)]

[7. Reconvene into Open Session]

AND SO WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING THE BACK IS HOW TO HOW TO BRIDGE THAT GAP. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO PUT IN PLACE TONIGHT DISCUSS A ACTION ITEM TO FUND THE REMAINING PORTION OF THAT PROJECT OUT OF OUR GENERAL FUND BALANCE, AND THE COUNSELORS DISCUSSED RETURNING INVESTMENT AND POTENTIAL SOURCES FOR THAT. AND CAME BACK WITH, YOU KNOW, RECOMMENDATION TO DISCUSS THIS IN OPEN SESSION AND TAKE ACTION ON IT. BY USING GENERAL FUND BALANCE FOR THAT, FOR THAT DIFFERENCE, AND THIS WOULD BE THE PRIMARY DIFFERENCE COMES IN THE FORM OF A MORE EXPENSIVE BRIDGE THAN WE EXPECTED OVER THE FLOODPLAIN. SO THAT IS THE ACTION ITEM. ANY ACTION. WE WANT TO TAKE COUNSELORS. AND MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE. AND IT IS A YOU SAID A BRIDGE TO GAP IS INDEED THAT. ACTUALLY BREACH? YES, SIR. REALLY IS A BRIDGE. CAN YOU CLARIFY FOR DR SESSIONS
