          [2A. Briefing - Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Budget Outlook]
BELIEVE YOU HAVE A BRIEFING FOR US. THIS IS A FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO SEE A SUMMARY OF THE BUDGET PROJECTIONS FOR THIS YEAR AND SO WE WANT TO KEEP THIS FAIRLY BRIEF AND TO THE POINT WE WANT TO KEEP IT HIGH LEVEL. SO WE GET A CHANCE JUST TO DIGEST WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THE MACRO LEVEL AND THEN OVER SUCCESSIVE MEETINGS WILL DELVE FURTHER INTO EACH PIECE AND FLESH IT OUT AS WE NEED TO MR CORN. EXACTLY. THIS IS A VERY PRELIMINARY WE ARE WHAT'S CALLED UP? DEFICIT BUDGET . THIS IS EVERYTHING THAT WE THAT THE DEPARTMENTS HAVE ASKED FOR, BASED ON A VERY CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE OF OUR REVENUES WERE ROUGHLY AT A $200,000. DEFICIT BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON SO BIG PICTURE. I THINK WE'RE I THINK WE CAN GET THERE. 
          IT'S JUST THIS IS TYPICALLY HOW IT STARTS AND WE'RE JUST BEING TRANSPARENT WITH YOU AND THE PUBLIC. THE FOUR THINGS THAT YOU'VE ASKED US TO FOCUS ON AND BY THE WAY, THIS WILL BE KIND OF A TAG TEAM. I'LL START I'LL INTRODUCE I'LL DO THE BIG PICTURE. JOHN WILL COME IN, GET A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAILS. NOT TOO MUCH, AND THEN I'LL COME BACK IN THE END WITH SOME THINGS TO THANK FOR THE FUTURE, SO THE FOUR BIG THINGS ARE, YOU KNOW, CONTINUE TO SUSTAIN OUR LOW TAX RATE. MAINTAIN EXISTING SERVICE LEVELS. YOU SEE A LITTLE GRAPHIC THAT'S GOING UP BECAUSE THERE'S MORE PEOPLE TO SERVICE. THERE'S MORE ROADS TO SERVICES OR WATER METERS TO SERVICE. SO THAT MEANS MORE PEOPLE MORE EQUIPMENT, AND YOU'LL SEE THAT AH, COMPENSATE EMPLOYEES AT 50% OF MARKET. WE DON'T REALLY KNOW. WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT THE MARKET FROM SIX MONTHS AGO BUT WE DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT THE MARKET IS. IT IS JUST SO CRAZY RIGHT NOW. SO WE'VE GOT A RECOMMENDATION TO KIND OF KEEP US A PACE OF WHAT'S GOING ON. BUT, UM THAT'S THE GOAL. I THINK WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO KIND OF IT'S A. THE MARKET'S DOING SOME CRAZY THINGS. WE'RE SEEING OTHER CITIES SO WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO. WE'RE GOING TO KEEP TRYING TO STAY IN THE MIDDLE WITH THE BEST INFORMATION WE HAVE. AND THEN FINALLY, THE FOURTH GOAL IS INVESTING PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          AND WE'RE DEFINITELY DOING THAT AND YOU'LL SEE THAT TOWARDS THE END AS WELL. AND I DON'T NEED TO REMIND YOU, OF ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON IN IN THE WORLD AROUND US AGAIN. WE'RE NOT ECONOMISTS. THIS IS JUST STUFF THAT ALL OF US FEEL AND HAVE READ ABOUT SOME OF OUR ORGANIZATIONS. I'M IN TCM A AND I SEE EMMA JOHNSON, GFO T AND G F O A AND BUT YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE TO REMIND YOU GUYS WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD. WE ALL READ THE PAPER. SO THIS IS IT. 
          THIS IS A VERY PRELIMINARY, JUST KIND OF HOW WE STACK UP. OBVIOUSLY. WE CONTINUE TO GROW AND HAVE ADDITIONAL EXPENSES. WE'VE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS TO HAVE REVENUES GREATER THAN ARE EXPENDED EXPENDITURES, AND WE'LL GET THAT WE'LL GET THAT HOME DOWN IN 22 23. AH, BUT WHAT'S GOING ON IS. DEVELOPMENT IS, UH , ON A LARGE REVENUE SOURCE. 
          DEVELOPMENT FEES ARE A LARGE REVENUE SOURCE FOR US AND THERE THAT'S THAT KIND OF NAVY BLUE THERE AND YOU CAN SEE THAT DROP. UM WHAT'S HAPPENED? WHAT WE THINK HAPPENED IS. ALL THE LOTS 
          [00:05:06]
THAT WERE AVAILABLE WERE RUSHED TO MARKET. AND THEY WEREN'T THEY . THE NEXT PHASES WERE SLOWED BY ALL THE SUPPLY CHAIN ALL THE LABOR ISSUES AND SO THAT NEXT PHASE HAS BEEN SLOWED DOWN. SO WE'VE WE'VE BEEN ON AN UPWARD TRAJECTORY. IT CANNOT BE INCREASED. AND THEN IT DIPPED BACK DOWN AGAIN, RIGHT? WE'LL GET BACK ON THE TRAJECTORY, BUT WE KIND OF RUSHED EVERYTHING. 
          AND NOW WE'RE FEELING THIS LITTLE TROUGH OF THAT THAT WAVE FROM LAST YEAR UM, THIS IS OUR BEST ATTEMPT AT A WATERFALL CHART. WE TRIED REALLY HARD. AH SO WE TALKED ABOUT THE REVENUE DECREASING. AH WELL, AND WE TALKED ABOUT THIS WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT LAST MEETING. A LOT OF THAT IS PART OF OUR FEES TO PAY OUR BUILDING INSPECTORS AND OUR ENGINEERS. AND SO THAT WILL DECREASE. SO IT'S ABOUT IT'S ABOUT $400,000. DECREASE. SO THAT THAT HELPS US. BUT THEN EVERYTHING STARTS KICKING IN INFLATION. SO PRICE OF GAS PRICE OF EVERYTHING PRICE OF WATER METERS. ALL THE STUFF WE BUY IS GOING UP. WE HAVE SOME. WE HAVE SOME VEHICLES THAT WE NEED TO REPLACE, AND SOME NEW ONES FOR SOME NEW STAFF. AH THAT IS THE MARKET AND THE COLA THAT WE SO THAT'S THE MARKET TO KEEP US AT. ROUGHLY 50% OF MARKET BUT THE COLON NOT TO LOSE ANY GROUND AND THEN THE LARGEST ONE IS OUR POSITION REQUESTS, AND JOHN WILL GO THROUGH THAT, AND MUCH MORE DETAIL. IS THAT EVEN CLOSE TO WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, OKAY? GOOD JOB, JOHN. ALL RIGHT. OKAY, SO HERE HE IS, JOHN ZAGORSKI. THANK YOU DREW. NICE JOB, JONAH . LIKE THE SLIDE. IT'S GOOD. WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON IT SO PROBABLY MORE TIME THAN MOST THINGS. VERY COUNCIL. THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT A DEEPER DIVE INTO WHAT'S GOING ON SPECIFICALLY WITH THE GENERAL FUND, BUT PROPERTY TAX IN OUR DEBT SERVICE FUND AND KIND OF WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS A WHOLE. YOU GUYS ARE BUSINESS OWNERS. YOU WORK IN PRIVATE INDUSTRIES IN YOU'RE SEEING THINGS THAT ARE AFFECTING ALL OF US DIFFERENTLY, AND WE'RE SEEING KIND OF CRAZY THINGS THIS YEAR. AND SO I'LL TALK ABOUT SOME OF THOSE WEIRD SUPPLY CHAIN STUFF AND DIFFERENT THINGS WHEN WE'RE GOING THROUGH THIS, BUT I WANT TO START WITH REVENUES AS TRUE, SAID DEVELOPMENT SERVICES REVENUES. SPECIFICALLY RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PERMITS PEAKED IN FISCAL YEAR 2021. SO IF YOU GUYS REMEMBER THAT YEAR WE STARTED OUT THAT YEAR AND WE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO GET 1000 NEW HOMES. THAT'S WHAT WE BUDGETED. WELL THEN WE CAME IN MID YEAR AND SAID, NO, WE THINK WE'RE GONNA GET 1200 NEW HOMES AND SO LET'S AMEND THE BUDGET AND RECOGNIZE MORE REVENUE. AND HERE'S SOME OFFSETTING ONE TIME EXPENSES THAT WE THINK WOULD BE REALLY GOOD. AFTER THAT, YOU GOT DONE. WE STARTED TALLYING. WE HAD 1500 NEW HOMES. EVERYONE BUILT EVERYTHING THEY COULD. WELL, INTEREST RATES WERE LOW HOUSES WERE ON THE MARKET. WE SAW A MASSIVE INFLUX IN THE NUMBER OF THINGS, AND SO WE WERE LOOKING AT LIKE DEVELOPMENT TRENDS WITH AMERICA YEARS AGO AND WE WERE SAYING IN THREE YEARS WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO PEAK AND THAT WOULD HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN THIS YEAR. AND WHAT HAPPENED IS WE HAD A LOT OF THAT SHIFT BACK BECAUSE THE MARKET WAS RIGHT. INTEREST RATES AND PEOPLE WERE GETTING ALL THE CONCRETE AND EVERYTHING IN ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS THERE EVERYTHING WAS A BIT OF TIME GOT BUILT AS QUICKLY AS THING EVERYTHING GOT IN HER CONTRACT. PEOPLE PUT MONEY DOWN FOR HOUSES BECAUSE EVERYONE KNEW THAT INTEREST RATES WERE GOING UP, AND SO THAT LED TO THIS KIND OF ROLE THAT WE'RE SEEING NOW AND SO IT'S NOT DEVELOPMENT REVENUES ARE GOING AWAY. IT'S JUST A PEAK AND IT'S GOING TO SLOW DOWN. WE'RE STILL GONNA GET THE SAME NUMBER OF HOUSES MAY TAKE LONGER BASED ON MARKET FORCES. SO THIS IS A PRE SLIDE FOR THE NEXT SLIDE, AND I'M GONNA GIVE THIS AREA BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A VERY SHOCKING NUMBER ON THE NEXT SLIDE, BUT I WANT TO TALK TO YOU, UM, IN PARTICULAR ABOUT WHAT OUR EXISTING PROPERTY TAX BASE IS DOING. AND SO OUR TOTAL BASED GROWTH IS ABOUT 50 OR $500 MILLION. AND SO WHAT? WE'RE ACTUALLY SEEING THOUGH, IS THAT WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, THREE BIG PLACES WHERE WE'RE SEEING INFLATION AND EXISTING VALUE. SO THE FIRST IS SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE. WHICH THIS IS THE ONE THAT I THINK YOU GUYS FEEL THE MOST BECAUSE YOU HAVE RESIDENTS YOU HAVE. PEOPLE ARE PAYING PROPERTY TAX BILLS. SO ON AVERAGE, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTS SAW 24% INCREASE RESIDENTIAL HOMESTEAD, WHICH IS 60% OF THIS NUMBER, SO 60% OF OUR RESIDENTS ARE HOMESTEAD EXEMPT. THEIR AVERAGE INCREASE WAS 9% TO BREAK THAT DOWN TO YOU. THAT'S ABOUT $90 A YEAR OR A CHICK FIL A SANDWICH PER MONTH. THAT'S THAT'S IT, SO THAT'S THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO SEE IS ROUGHLY AS A PRICE INCREASE PER MONTH ON PROPERTY TAXES, SO IF EXISTING VALUES WENT UP 9% ON AVERAGE, THAT'S HOW IT'S GOING TO HIT BASED ON THE AVERAGE TAXABLE VALUE OF THE WHOLE. SO ON AVERAGE, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE. WHEN AT 24% IF YOUR HOMESTEAD IT CAN ONLY GO UP 10 ON AVERAGE IS ACTUALLY 9% FOR THOSE RESIDENTS. BUT IF YOU'RE NOT IF YOU'RE A COMMERCIAL BUYER OR A COMMERCIAL OWNER OF HOUSES, 
          [00:10:02]
OR YOU HAVE A NEW HOME ON THAT YOU BUILT IN NORTHLAKE THAT YOU'RE NOT HOMESTEAD EXEMPT. YOU CAN SEE HIGHER INCREASES, SO THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE RENTING OUT HOUSES OR THIS IS MULTIPLE RESIDENTS ARE INCOME PROPERTIES . THEY HAVE NO CAP, SO THEY SAW UP TO THE 24% INCREASE. THAT'S WHY RINSE YOU SEE GOING UP. THIS WAS NOTHING COMPARED TO BUSINESSES. ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE NEAR IN THE BALLPARK TO BUSINESSES. BUSINESS PERSONAL PROPERTY 117 MILLION. THAT WAS THE PERCENT OF HIS EXISTING VALUE INCREASE. THAT WAS 114. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE WE SAW COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES. WE HAVE A LOT OF COMMERCIAL DENSITY RIVER 60% COMMERCIAL. WE SAW EXISTING PROPERTY. NOW THEY HAVE A LOT MORE TOOLS TO PROTEST SO THIS NUMBER WILL CHANGE. SO THIS WILL BUT WHEN WE CAME OUT WITH INITIAL APPRAISALS AND WHAT THEY WERE SENT, BUILT, LIKE, OR APPRAISAL NOTICE THIS 114% ON AVERAGE HIGHER FOR THEM. FOR BUSINESS. REAL PROPERTY. WE SAW PROPERTY VALUES GO UP 64% AND SO THIS IS ALL PRE TO SHOW YOU. 
          THIS IS ABOUT EXISTING VALUE GROWTH. THERE IS NEW VALUE GROWTH AS WELL. SO SHOCKING NUMBER TIME 40% GROWTH IN PROPERTY TAX REVENUE. THAT SEEMS LIKE A LOT THAT SEEMS LIKE YOU KNOW WHERE EVERYONE'S GOING TO GET A 40% INCREASE IN THE PROPERTY TAX BILL. THAT'S NOT WHAT'S HAPPENING. HALF OF THIS IS FROM NEW GROWTH, AND THE OTHER HALF OF THAT IS MAINLY ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE. AND IF IT'S KITTY, INTERESTING, OR FAMILY RESIDENCE IS MAINLY HAPPENING TO THOSE WHO ARE RENTING OUT HOUSES IN NORTH LAKE, AND SO I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT RESIDENTS ON AVERAGE ON 9% INCREASE, AND THAT'S JUST THE INITIAL APPRAISAL. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GO FIGHT THAT DOWN. THAT NUMBER WILL COME DOWN. BUT OUT THE GATE. THAT'S WHAT IT WAS. SALES TAX REVENUE SO. SALES TAX IS A BIG GUESSING GAME ONE TIME ROWDY SOURCE BECAUSE IT FLUCTUATES SO MUCH HIGHLY ELASTIC. IT GOES UP AND DOWN ALL THE TIME IN, SO IT IS 100% BASED ON HOW MUCH PEOPLE HAVE TO SPEND AND SO UM OUR MOST CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE, SO THE LOWEST NUMBER THAT I'M COMFORTABLE PUTTING ON THERE IS 16% GROWTH. HALF OF THAT INFLATION. BECAUSE OF INFLATION GROWTH IN PRICES HALF OF THAT, I BELIEVE IT'S AROUND 9. HALF OF THAT WILL BE THAT AND THEN OUR AVERAGE GROWTH PRICES AROUND 20% YEAR OVER YEAR AND THAT'S BASED ON JUST HOW MUCH PEOPLE ARE GROWING. THE NEW BUSINESSES THAT ARE OPENING UP SO THIS IS MY LOWEST NUMBER THAT I'M PROBABLY COMFORTABLE GOING TO. I'M NOT GOING TO SHORTCHANGE US MORE CONSERVATIVELY THAN THIS BECAUSE THIS IS HONESTLY WHAT I FEEL, AND THIS IS NOT WE HAVE A GOOD PROPER OR SALES TAX BASE. THIS IS NOT ME THINKING THAT EVERYONE'S PURCHASING EVERYTHING ON AMAZON ALL THE TIME. THIS IS CONCRETE. THIS IS WHERE HOUSEHOLD SALE THIS IS VEHICLES. THIS IS EVERYTHING ALL TOGETHER, SO WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT SUCCESSFUL JUST TO ONE SECTOR NOW DOWNTURNS THAT'S COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STORY, BUT THIS IS A NUMBER THAT I FEEL PRETTY COMFORTABLE WITH. SO THOSE ARE THE THREE BIGGEST REVENUE SOURCES. NOW I WANT TO TALK ABOUT EXPENDITURE CHANGES AND WHAT WE'RE KIND OF SEEING THEIR SO OVERALL EXPENDITURES INCREASED AROUND 9% THAT'S ON PAR WITH WHERE INFLATION IS. THE BIGGEST THING THAT WE SAW A SHIFT IN IS PERSONNEL AND YOU'RE GOING TO SEE WHY WE'VE GOT A LOT OF PERSONNEL CHANGES, BUT OVERALL 9% INCREASE $800,000 AND A LOT OF THIS IS DUE TO GROWTH AND INFLATION AND I'LL GO OVER THESE SPECIFIC AREAS. SO WHEN THE PERSONNEL SIDE WE'RE SEEING ABOUT $520,000 INCREASE OR 11% THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE WE'RE ASKING FOR EIGHT FULL TIME EMPLOYEES AND FOR PART TIME I'LL GO OVER THESE POSITIONS IN A MINUTE. UM AND IT COSTS US AROUND $600,000 ACROSS ALL PHONES $500,000 IN HERE. 6% COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT FOR ALL EMPLOYEES AGAIN. WE THINK INFLATION IS RIGHT AROUND 9% YEAR OVER YEAR RIGHT NOW, THIS IS WHAT WE THINK THAT WE CAN DO TO BE COMPETITIVE IN THE MARKET WITH WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE DOING. THE MARKET ADJUSTMENT TARGETS. 11 EMPLOYEES WHO ARE IDENTIFIED PRE CRAZY INFLATION THAT NEEDED TO BE ADJUSTED TO MAKE US MARKET COMPETITIVE. AND SO THAT'S ACROSS ALL DEPARTMENTS, JUST 11 EMPLOYEES THAT UM WE FEEL IF ANYONE IS A BIG MAP PERSON THEY'RE ADDING ALL THREE OF THESE NUMBERS UP AND SAYING, JOHN, THIS DOESN'T EQUAL $520,000 WELL. THE NET CHANGES IN PERSONNEL IN FISCAL YEAR 2022 IS GOING TO RESULT IN $236,000 IN SAVINGS. I WENT OVER THIS WORDING NUMEROUS TIMES BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO ASK ME WHY IS THERE AN EXCHANGE OF THIS MUCH? WELL? WHEN WE'RE BUDGETING FOR PEOPLE. I'M NOT GOING TO BUDGET AT THE LOWEST PRICE THAT I THINK I'M GOING TO GET THEM AT THE LOWEST HEALTHCARE COSTS. I THINK YOU CAN GET THEM BECAUSE THAT WILL LEAD TO SHORTFALLS THAT WILL LEAD TO US HAVING TO COME BACK FOR JUST UNDERCUT APPLE ADDITIONAL DOLLARS. SO WE BUDGET AT MIDPOINT. WE BUDGET THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE FAMILIES AND IF THEY DON'T THEN THOSE CHANGES ARE REFLECTED IN THE NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET. BASED ON THE NINE POSITIONS THAT WE HAD AND TURNOVER AND EMPLOYEES AND CHANGES OF EMPLOYEES. THE TOTAL NET RESULT OF THIS IS $236,000. 
          ANOTHER THING THAT DECREASED IN THIS WAS A RETIREMENT RATE. WE HAVE A YOUNGER EMPLOYEE BASE AND SO THE AMOUNT THAT WE HAVE TO CONTRIBUTE TO RETIREMENT ACTUALLY WENT DOWN DECENTLY AND THAT RESULTED IN SOME SAVINGS, TOO. AND SO OVERALL, WE'RE SEEING SOME CHANGES, BUT WE'RE ALSO ASKING FOR QUITE A FEW PEOPLE SO AND WE'LL GO OVER. KIND OF WHAT THESE POSITIONS ARE SO LEANING TOWARDS PUBLIC SAFETY . THESE ARE TO KEEP UP WITH GROWTH AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING. SO 
          [00:15:03]
POLICE OFFICER HERE ALREADY SEEN US. WHEN I PUT THE START MID YEAR. THIS IS A COST SAVING MEASURE THAT WE'RE ALREADY PUTTING IN PLACE STARTING IN MID YEAR, SAYS US HALF THE MONEY. UP FRONT OF THAT POSITION THIS YEAR, SO WE'RE ALREADY TRYING TO LESSEN THAT $200,000. AND THIS IS REFLECTIVE OF THAT. IF WE HAD A FULL YEAR THAT WOULD COST US MORE MONEY, SO WE'RE ALREADY TRYING TO KIND OF BUDGET DOWN A LITTLE BIT AND TRYING TO GET WHERE WE'RE BREAKING EVEN A LITTLE BIT MORE ALREADY. SO, SERGENT, THIS IS OUR CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DIVISION SERGEANT. 
          SO OVERALL, THE TWO DETECTIVES THAT WE HAVE, UM AND OUR PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS OFFICER IS THE ONE WHO WOULD BE OVER THE SCHOOL CROSSING GUARDS. WE HAVE A NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL OPENING. 
          WE ANTICIPATE 3 TO 4 CROSSING GUARDS AND BUDGETING FOR RIGHT NOW. AND THEN AN OFFICE COORDINATOR. THE ADMINISTRATIVE SIDE OF POLICE SPECIFICALLY, OPEN RECORDS REQUEST. UM THAT'S GROWING. AND SO THEY NEED HELP WITH THAT. WE ALSO NEED FRONT DESK COVERAGE. AND SO THIS HELPS IN THERE AND PROVIDES THEM SOME ADMINISTRATIVE RELIEF TO BE OVER THEM. IN A LOT OF THE OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE. THERE ARE HIGHEST FLEET. THEY HAVE MORE VEHICLES. THEY HAVE TO MAINTAIN THOSE VEHICLES. THERE IS A LOT OF PAPERWORK ASSOCIATED WITH POLICE DEPARTMENTS. IT IS A LOT LESS EXCITING THAN THEY MAKE ON COPS, SO IT'S JUST THE ADMINISTRATIVE SIDE OF IT. UM SO THERE'S A LOT OF PAPERWORK IN THESE ADMINISTRATIVE POSITIONS, HELP WITH THAT, ESPECIALLY BEING IN THEIR OWN BUILDING. OUR PUBLIC WORKS WERE ASKING FOR TO AN EQUIPMENT OPERATOR THAT WILL BE ON THE STREET SIDE AND THEN A MAINTENANCE WORKER WHO WILL BE ON THE UTILITY SIDE. AND SO THOSE ARE THE ONLY TWO POSITIONS WE'RE ASKING FOR IN PUBLIC WORKS. THE ADMINISTRATIVE SIDE AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DIRECTOR WHO WOULD BE OVER HUMAN RESOURCES, MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS AND OUR MANAGEMENT ANALYST AND THEN A BUDGET ANALYSTS BUDGET HALF OUT OF THE UTILITY FUNDS. WHEN I SAY THIS YEAR HAS BEEN THE WORST BUDGET YEAR I'VE EVER HAD PROFESSIONALLY I WILL FULLY ADMIT THAT BECAUSE I'VE NEVER HAD SO MANY VENDORS BACK OUT ON QUOTES I'VE NEVER HAD US HAVE TO ISSUE PURCHASE ORDERS A YEAR IN ADVANCE TO GET VEHICLES JUST THE CHANCE TO GET VEHICLES. I KNOW SOME OF YOU GUYS HAVE FELT THAT TRYING TO BUY A VEHICLE. UM WE WHOLESALE PRICING FOR CONCRETE BASE LEVEL STUFF. WE'RE HAVING SUCH TROUBLE GETTING IT JUST AN EARMARK OF WHERE THAT NUMBER IS GONNA BE OR EVEN ANYBODY THAT WOULD SAY BECAUSE GOVERNMENT WE HAVE TO AGREE TO PRICES. NO ONE'S NO ONE'S ABLE TO BUDGE ON THAT. NO ONE CAN GUARANTEE PRICES, SO WE'RE BUDGETING IN A HIGH AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY. SO THAT'S CAUSING A LOT OF THIS UTILITY RATES. YOU'RE GOING TO SEE STUFF ON UTILITIES A LITTLE BIT LATER IN HERE. THERE'S A LOT OF BUDGETARY THINGS THAT HAVE TO BE MAINTAINED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. SPECIFICALLY CAPITAL PROJECTS SPENDING AND YOU'RE GOING TO SEE HOW AGGRESSIVE THAT'S GOING TO GET IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS. BUT A LOT OF THAT YOU NEED PEOPLE MAINTAINING SCHEDULES. MAINTAINING SOME OF THAT INFORMATION IN BUDGET IS GOING TO NOT JUST BE A ONCE A YEAR THING. IT'S GOING TO BE HAVE TO BE SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS CONTINUALLY BECAUSE WE NEED TO BE ON A FIVE YEAR BASIS WITH EVERYTHING, AND THAT PLAN HAS TO BE CONSTANTLY UPDATED AND IMPROVED AND SO BUDGET ANALYST WILL HELP US DO SOME OF THAT. SO ALL OTHER EXPENDITURE CATEGORIES , AND I'LL GO OVER SOME OTHER THINGS IN THE NEXT SLIDE TUBE. BUT MAINTENANCE IS INCREASING, SO THE NET COST TO MAINTAIN ASSETS IS CHANGING. UM EVERYTHING FROM FIELDER TOO. PATCHING ROADS TO SERVER MAINTENANCE, TOO. THERE'S JUST AN ENDLESS SUPPLY. WE'RE SEEING CRAZY PRICE GOUGES ON JUST THE WEIRDEST THINGS AND THEN SUPPLY CHAIN DISRUPTIONS ON OTHERS, AND SO GETTING THINGS WHERE WE USED TO BE ABLE TO PURCHASE LIKE INSTEAD OF PRICE FOR THINGS THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. NOW WE'RE HAVING TO RUN WEEK TO WEEK AND THEN GO GET MULTIPLE BIDS ON EACH OF THOSE AND THEN TRY TO TRACK THAT BACK AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GETTING COMPETITIVE PRICING BECAUSE IT'S CHANGING SO QUICKLY. SUPPLIERS JUST DROP OUTS AND SO WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF THAT. SO WE'RE ESTIMATING MAINTENANCE STUFF GOING HIGHER, SPECIFICALLY ROADS. THAT'S THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE SEEING THIS NUMBER, RED MAINTENANCE AND THE MATERIALS TO GET THAT ISN'T IT'S INCREASING QUITE A BIT. UM THERE IS ALSO RISING CONSTRUCT MATERIALS. A BIG THING IS WE'RE ALSO PUSHING THINGS THE SERVER AND SO MAINTAINING CLOUD BASED STORAGE. THAT'S THIS IS WHERE WE ACTUALLY PUT SOME OF THAT THE NEXT ONE IS SUPPLIES. SUPPLIES INCREASED ROUGHLY BY $100,000, AND THAT'S JUST FUEL. THAT'S ALL THAT IS. THAT IS ALL THAT CHANGED RIGHT? THERE WAS JUST FUEL. AND THEN LIKE IF ANYONE HAS A GREAT GUEST ON FUEL, I FEEL LIKE IT. CONSPIRACY THEORIST TRYING TO FIGURE THIS ONE OUT, SO IT'S WHATEVER NUMBER I HAVE. THE NEXT WEEK. USUALLY KIND OF COMES AND DAMAGED IT DOWN. AND THEN I GUESS REALLY HIGH AND THEN YEAH, IT'S FUELS THE BIG UNCERTAINTY, AND WE'RE ABLE TO EVEN MISS SOME OF THOSE TAXES THAT EVERY OTHER PLACE BECAUSE WE'RE THE GOVERNMENT AND WE SHOULDN'T BE PAYING GOVERNMENT SHIP BETWEEN TAXES ON TAXES SO THAT WE CAN MISS SOME OF THOSE THINGS. BUT STILL THAT UNCERTAINTY IN PRICES IS VERY, VERY BAD. UM SO SERVICES SERVICES ACTUALLY DECREASED BY $100,000. THAT'S MAINLY BECAUSE OF THAT THIRD PARTY INSPECTION SERVICE. SO OUR SERVICES REALLY ARE DECREASING. WHAT'S HAPPENING IS WE'RE USING LESS DEVELOPMENT SERVICES BECAUSE WE THINK LESS RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PERMITS AND COMMERCIAL LOGGING PERMITS ARE GOING TO COME IN. SO WE WANT TO PAY FOR IT AS MUCH IF WE'RE NOT USING IT, AND SO THAT WAS ACTUALLY $400,000 DECREASE, BUT BECAUSE OF THE INCREASE ON OTHERS, IT WAS ONLY $100,000 IN NET IN THE END. MM. THE OTHER LAST ONE WAS INTERNAL SERVICES. THIS IS CAPTURING OVERHEAD, SPECIFICALLY TECHNOLOGY, BUILDING MAINTENANCE AND VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO HERE'S THE VEHICLES THAT WERE ASKING FOR, UM, OVERALL, THIS DOES HIT INTERNAL SERVICES. THE NET THAT WE'RE ASKING FOREIGN VEHICLES ACTUALLY WENT DOWN COMPARED TO LAST YEAR 
          [00:20:03]
. WE WERE PRETTY AGGRESSIVE LAST YEAR WITH THE VEHICLES WERE ASKING FOR SO THE OVERALL PRICE OF NEW VEHICLE LIKE WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR AS MANY AND SO IT WENT DOWN A LOT OF THESE REPLACEMENT THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN PUTTING AWAY MONEY FOR THE OVERALL COST THERE, AND INTERNAL SERVICES WENT DOWN, BUT TECHNOLOGY WENT UP PRETTY QUICKLY. SO WE'RE ASKING FOR TWO PATROL VEHICLE REPLACEMENTS. ONE ADMIN VEHICLE REPLACEMENTS, ONE NEW ADMINISTRATIVE VEHICLE, AND THAT'S FOR THE CID SERGEANT. AND THEN THE OXYGEN CAMERAS SYSTEM IS A WHOLE CAMERA SYSTEM. IT WORKS WITH CAR BODY CAMERA TASER ALL THAT IN STORAGE FOR ALL OF IT, AND THIS IS A WHOLE OVERPRICED AND GETTING INTO JUST ONE SYSTEM. THIS IS REALLY BIG FOR ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS AND THINGS AND THEY HAVE A MUCH BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE SPACE THAN WE CURRENTLY DO WITH THE OTHER SYSTEM. AND SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE HEAVILY CONSIDERING FOR POLICE BECAUSE IT COULD REALLY HAVING IT ALL IN ONE SYSTEM THAT CLOUD UPDATES FIELDS. IT DOES A LOT OF STUFF FOR US COULD REALLY SAVE US. UM PUBLIC WORKS. WE HAVE A RAM 5500 DUMP TRUCK BODY. SO WE HAVE THE TRUCK. WE JUST NEED TO RE UPDATE THE BODY. AND THEN A HENDERSON SALT AND SAND SPREADER. SO WE SAW THIS DURING THE FREEZE, BUT ALSO SALT AND SAND SPREADERS ARE JUST USEFUL THINGS TO HAVE IN CASE WE NEED TO GO OUT AND DO STUFF. AND SO THIS IS ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT IS IMPORTANT AND WE ACTUALLY DO NEED ALL RIGHT. SO NOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT SOME BIG OPERATING PIECES ONE SECURE SOME CAPITAL PROJECTS, SO I SAID THAT PROPERTY TAXES THE BIG, SCARY NUMBER. THIS IS RELATED TO PROPERTY TAX. UM THIS IS OUR AGGRESSIVE FIVE YEAR PLAN FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS. WE'VE TOLD REAL LOT, BUT A LOT OF DIFFERENT PROJECTS COMING UP. AND SO ONE OF THE BIG ONES WAS FORT WORTH, WHICH BETWEEN THE TWO DIFFERENT ISSUANCES ABOUT $25 MILLION DIDN'T CREAK MEANS SEWER LINE DESIGN TRUNK LINE. WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THAT PROJECT FOR YEARS. IT'S A VERY BIG ONE THAT'S COMING. UM CATHERINE BRANCH WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS TO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT PRICE INCREASES, I CAN TELL YOU THAT CAPITAL WAS THE BIGGEST THING THAT WE'VE SEEN IN HIT ELECTRICAL FOR ARE SORT OF PLAYING 95% MORE THAN WHAT WAS BUDGETED MARKET AND THAT WAS BASED ON MARKET PROJECTIONS. ABOUT 12 MONTHS BEFORE THEN, SO IT'S JUST WE'VE SEEN WILD WILD THINGS ON THIS AND SO, UM, FLORENCE AND FOUGHT ROAD ALL OF THOSE THINGS. I JUST MENTIONED SAME THING. SO THE NEXT ISSUANCE WILL BE $20 MILLION ISSUANCE THAT BE THAT DIDN'T CREAK THAT WOULD BE THE MAIN ISSUANCE FOR THE DAYTON CREEK TRUNK LINE. AND THEN THE BOND PACKAGE WITH THE COUNTY. IT'S $5 MILLION. AND THEN LASTLY, ANOTHER $20 MILLION FOR THE LAST PART OF FORT WORTH. 
          AND THEN THE ANOTHER COUNTY BOND PROGRAM ISSUANCE. ALL OF THESE ARE INVESTMENTS IN INFRASTRUCTURE THAT ARE GOING TO GROW OUR TAX BASE. WHEN I SAY THIS IS GOING TO BE FRUITFUL IN THE FUTURE, I'VE GOT ACTUAL DEMONSTRATION. THESE WHEN I SAY CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATES THESE ESTIMATES ARE BASED ON 1% COMMERCIAL VALUE GROWTH A YEAR. RESIDENTIAL 3.5% BECAUSE RESIDENTIAL RISES FASTER THAN COMMERCIAL ABOUT 3.5% A YEAR HERE FROM THE SINGLE FAMILY GREETS. IT DOES INCREASE A LOT FASTER THAN THAT, BUT NOT AT THE INDIVIDUAL LEVEL ABOUT THE MACRO LEVEL, AND SO VERY, VERY CONSERVATIVE. THESE ARE ONLY PROJECTS THAT WE KNOW ABOUT AND WE CAN DEFINE BY SPACE. WE'VE ALREADY AGREED TO SQUARE FOOTAGE AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE KNOW ARE COMING. THIS IS WHAT THE BASE LOOKS LIKE KATHERINE BRANCH AND THE PROJECTS IN THAT AREA SEED. A LOT OF THAT. THAT HELPS US GAIN THAT CAPACITY. IT GROWS OUR TAX BASE SIGNIFICANTLY AND YOU CAN SEE IT. HEATHER BRANCH ALONE IS MORE THAN OUR CURRENT COMMERCIAL BASE. RESIDENTIAL GROWTH IS GOING TO BE BIGGER THAN IN THE ENDS RIGHT NOW. IT'S 60 40. IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO SWAP OVER THE NEXT 20 PLUS YEARS AND SO WE PROBABLY SEE THAT TURN, BUT THIS IS JUST WHAT WE KNOW TODAY. IF EVERYTHING GOT BUILT OUT THAT WE KNOW THAT WE'VE AGREED TO. THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE. THERE'S GOING TO BE NEW COMMERCIAL THINGS. THERE'S GOING TO BE CHANGES. THIS IS A CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE, SO IT'S JUST THINGS THAT ARE KNOWN. AND IT'S BASED OFF OF VALUES TODAY, SO WHEN WE ESTIMATED COMMERCIAL SQUARE FEET, THEY WERE BASED OFF CURRENT VALUES. SO I THINK THOSE ARE EVEN CONSERVATIVE. IF YOU JUST SAW THE APPRAISAL NUMBERS, I JUST SHOWED YOU THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN YOU APPLY THOSE ISSUANCES. TO THE BIG BLUE LINE UP THERE FOR DEBT CAPACITY THAT SHOWS YOU THAT WE HAVE CAPACITY FOR THESE PROJECTS THAT'S LAYING IN THOSE ISSUANCES . I JUST TOLD YOU ABOUT FOR THOSE PROJECTS SO BY RIGHT AROUND 2028, YOU HAVE CAPACITY FOR ADDITIONAL PROJECTS. THIS FUND YOUR FIVE YEAR SIP. ON PROPERTY TAX AT OUR CURRENT INDUSTRY. AND IT PROVIDES THE FUNDING FOR THOSE PROJECTS FOR YEARS TO COME. NOW STUFF IS GOING TO CHANGE WITH EMINEM AND INS THE SP TWO THAT WILL AFFECT YOU. THAT WILL BE COMING. WE WILL SEE INS GRADUALLY INCREASED BECAUSE THERE IS PRESSURE ON THE M N O TO GO DOWN THROUGH THE SENATE BILL TO BILL SO WE'LL TALK ABOUT SOME OF THOSE OTHER SOLUTIONS IN A MINUTE AND DREW TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THOSE, BUT THIS IS ROUGHLY ESTIMATING WHERE I THINK HER RATE FALLS THROUGH HERE. AND SO THESE ARE CHANGES THAT I THINK ALL OF THIS IS JUST TO SHOW THAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THE PROJECTS THAT WE PRESENTED TO YOU AS OF TODAY, EVEN IN HER BEST LOWEST ESTIMATES, AND SO YOU CAN FEEL CONFIDENT THAT IF WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THESE THINGS, IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO THESE THINGS YOU'RE NOT 
          [00:25:02]
OVERBURDENING THE FUTURE FOR DOING IT. YOU STILL MAINTAIN CAPACITY. YOU'RE NOT GOING OUT FOR AS MUCH MONEY AS YOU CAN GET, AND YOU'RE JUST GOING TO BE HAVE YOUR HANDS TIED FOR THE FUTURE. THIS IS NOT OVER ENCUMBERING EVERYBODY ELSE FOR FUTURE DECISION MAKING. ALRIGHT SO TALKING ABOUT FUTURE OPTIONS DREW COME UP AND TALK ABOUT SOME OF THOSE. MHM. THANK YOU, JOHN. 
          UH THIS ISN'T NECESSARILY ANYTHING WE NEED TO DO IN THIS BUDGET CYCLE. BUT IT'S SOME THINGS TO JUST BEGIN TO THINK ABOUT. AND. MHM ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE FACING IS OUR WHOLESALE PROVIDERS WHO SELL WATER PROVIDERS FOR WORTH OF TRINITY, OUR SEWER PROVIDER TRAINING RIVER AUTHORITY. THEY'RE THEY'RE SEEING COST INCREASES. WE CAN'T REALLY CONTROL THOSE. THOSE ARE OUR SOURCES OF WATER. THERE'S REALLY NO WAY AROUND THAT THE NUMBER OF COMMUNITIES AROUND THIS HAVE KIND OF WHAT YOU CALLED A PASS THROUGH INCREASE. SO WHEN THAT'S FORCED ON ON THE RETAIL PROVIDER , THERE'S A THERE'S AN INCREASE. THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S PUSHED THROUGH THE RATES TO COVER THOSE COSTS BECAUSE OUR RATES ARE SET SUCH THAT WE'RE COVERING OUR RETAIL RETAIL OPERATIONS. THEY'RE NOT COVERING THE WHOLESALE COST. SO WE'RE WORKING WITH NUGENT STRATEGIES, THE GROUP THAT DID OUR WATER RATE STUDY TO HELP US WITH SOME ESTIMATES ON WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE OR WHAT COULD BE DONE. JOHN TALKED ABOUT THE 3.5% CAP. UH SENATOR BENTON BENTON CORP SAID INVITE YOU WILL NEVER GO OVER 3.5. UM AND SO ONE OF THE OPTIONS TO THINK ABOUT IS TO ABSORB THE AND OR THE CDC AND USE THAT PROPERTY TAX FOR OPERATIONS THAT WOULD REQUIRE AN ELECTION. THERE'S MANY OPTIONS. THERE'S A MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT. THERE'S STREET FUND. THERE'S A PUBLIC SAFETY FUND. THERE'S A NUMBER OF WAYS YOU CAN USE IT OR YOU CAN JUST PUT IT ALL INTO THE GENERAL FUND TO HELP WITH GENERAL FUND OPERATIONS, WHICH IS THE FUNDING FUNDS POLICE SERVICES. IF. ONCE WE WERE STILL IN A DIMENSION IMUS SITUATION WHERE OUR TOTAL PROPERTY TAX INCREASE IS LESS THAN 500,000. WE'RE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE THERE NEXT YEAR, SO THIS YEAR WAS PROBABLY OUR LAST YEAR SO THERE MAY BECOME A SITUATION WHERE WE GO OVER 3.5. WILL CONTINUE TO LOOK AT EXEMPTIONS AND WAYS TO MODIFY THOSE. WE LOOK AT OUR OUR DEBT SERVICE AND AHRENS RATE. BUT IF WE GO OVER 3.5, THERE WILL BE AN ELECTION. OR THERE COULD BE AN ELECTION. AND THEN WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS OFF AND ON OVER THE YEARS, UH, STORMWATER FEE THAT COULD HELP US WITH OPERATIONS. THE STORMWATER FEE WOULD BE THE SAME FOR ANY RESIDENTS, NO MATTER THE SIZE OF THE RESIDENT WOULD BE SET, RIGHT. REALLY WHAT THE STORMWATER FEE IS. IT'S FOR BUSINESSES THAT HAVE A LOT OF IMPERVIOUS SURFACES. SO THOSE WAREHOUSES WITH BIG ROOTS OR THE BIG PARKING LOTS THAT SHED A LOT OF WATER. THIS HELPS US COMBAT THAT. IN MAINTAIN THAT I'VE EVEN CHALLENGE THE OUR ENGINEERS IF THE STREET SWEEPER CLEANS ALL THE SILT OFF THE STREET AND DOESN'T FOUL UP OUR STORM WATER SYSTEM. COULD THAT BE FUNDED WITH A STORMWATER FEE? WE'RE NOT AT A MUNICIPAL SITE YET. WE'RE SMALL. SMALL ENOUGH. I THINK THE LAST THAT WE TALKED TO DENNIS AND HALF IS WE'VE GOT A FEW MORE YEARS LEFT BEFORE WE REACH THAT THRESHOLD, BUT WE'RE GOING TO RESET THEIR SHOULDER AND THAT REQUIRES A NUMBER OF, UH OF. 
          PROCESSES RULES REGULATIONS THAT WE HAVE TO IMPLEMENT, AND SO IT'LL BE COST. IT'LL BE FOISTED ON US BY THE STATE. AND THIS IS A THIS IS A REVENUE SOURCE WE COULD USE TO PAY FOR THOSE UNFUNDED MANDATES. SO, UM, JOE HAS. CHANCE TO COUNTERPART GIVE HIS COUNTERPOINT TO THE BUDGET, BUT WE GOT IT. YOU GOT ANY QUESTIONS FOR US AGAIN? THIS WAS JUST A BIG BIG OVERVIEW OF WHAT'S GOING ON AND SOME KIND OF SOME OF THE TRENDS AND WHAT TO EXPECT AND WILL FOR THE CHARTER. 
          I'LL GIVE YOU A PROPOSED BUDGET . THIS IS JUST PRELIMINARY. THIS IS JUST, UH, LOOKING AT BIG PICTURE STUFF. BUT IF YOU GOT ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, I WANT TO PRESENT A BUDGET THAT WILL PASS. COUNCIL. SO GO AHEAD. CAN YOU SEND US THE DECK? OF COURSE JUST SO WE CAN NOODLE ON IT. THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION THERE THAT WILL BE USEFUL FOR CONSIDERATION AS WE GO FORWARD, 
          [00:30:02]
SO JUST BRIEFLY IN TALKING WITH THERE'S A LINE ARE WE AS WELL AS DO THE RECAP. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE WHOLE SLIDE DECK AVAILABLE AFTER THE MEETING AS WELL HAVE BEEN IN CONCERT, SO BUT WELL, OBVIOUSLY WE'LL SEND IT DIRECTLY TO YOU VIA EMAIL, BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT AVAILABLE. TO THE PUBLIC AS WELL. ONLY ONE THING REALLY CAUGHT MY EYE. UM CROSSING GUARDS. I THOUGHT THOSE ARE USUALLY FUNDED BY SCHOOL DISTRICT SO IT'S USUALLY THE LOCAL POLICE FUNDS. OH, YES, SIR. OKAY, SO WE'D ONLY BE TALKING ABOUT THE SCHOOL AND PECAN SQUARE BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH OUR POLICE SERVICE HARVEST, WHICH HAS ARGEL AND LANCE THOMPSON OKAY, RIGHT. WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH THAT WE'VE GOT A GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SCHOOL THE WAY THEY DESIGNED LANCE THOMPSON AND THE WAY THEY SCHEDULED TO PICK UP AND THE WALKERS VERSUS THE CARS OR THE COMMUTERS. FORGET WHAT THEY CALL THOSE, BUT I KNOW THEY CALL THEM THE WALKERS. UH AND THE OTHER GROUP THEY TIME EVERYTHING AND THE WAY THAT SITUATION THAT NEIGHBORHOOD IT'S NOT NEEDED OR THEY HAVEN'T REQUESTED ANYTHING. THEY'LL HAVE A NEED FOR THAT. WE DON'T KNOW WITH JOHN DANNY WAS JUST BEING PREPARED. I MEAN, THIS IS KIND OF WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE COVER EVERYTHING. JOHN'S DONE A GREAT JOB OF THINKING THROUGH EVERYTHING, UH, BUT WHERE IT'S SITUATED THERE AT THE TOP OF THE HILL AND PECAN REALM. WHAT STREET AND HORIZON WAY. UM SO WE'RE JUST WE'RE JUST BEING READY. YES. COULD YOU SEND THE ESTIMATES BEHIND THE THAT SPECIFIC PIECE, UM TO COUNSEL AS WELL WOULD BE HELPFUL PRIOR TO THE PROPOSED BUDGET. YEAH WHATEVER YOU USED IN YOUR YOU KNOW, AS YOU THINK THE BASELINE WE COULD UNDERSTAND, LIKE HOW MANY HOURS AND HOW MUCH COST WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, BECAUSE IF IT'S A LITTLE IT MAY NOT BE AS BIG A DEAL AS IT SEEMS. IF IT'S A LOT. IT'S NOT. IT'S NOT 20 WELL, 2600 TOTAL. YEAH WE GOT TWO MONTHS SO MULTIPLY THAT BY 6 26 100, YOU KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE WHAT 12 15,000. UM, ANNUALLY. 
          AT A MAX OF FOUR. WE MAY NEED THREE, SO IT'S NOT A HUGE AMOUNT . IT'S SO NO, IT'S GOING PART TIME THEY'RE GOING TO BE THERE IN THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON WOULD BE A HUGE HIT. THAT'S HELPFUL. HAVE WE HAVE WE TALKED TO THE FRESHWATER SUPPLY DISTRICT AND HARVEST AS TO WHETHER THEY WOULD WANT THAT SERVICE. IF WE WERE ADDED THEY COULD PAY US TO FACILITATE THAT CHIEF EXPLORED THAT WHEN I FIRST OPENED, AND THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T NEED SCHOOL CROSSING GUARDS, SO, UM BUT IF THEY DO, WE'LL HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS AND WE WOULD EXPECT THE FIRST WORD SUPPLY DISTRICT TWO TO FUND THOSE THOSE GUARDS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A PROPERTY TAX IN THAT AREA. UNDERSTOOD, OKAY. THAT'S HELPFUL. COUNSELORS ANYTHING FURTHER AS FAR AS QUESTIONS OR POINTS THAT YOU WANT TO SEE. DEVELOPED A LITTLE MORE. OBVIOUSLY, THEY'RE GONNA DEVELOP EVERYTHING MORE. BUT IS THERE ANYTHING OF PARTICULAR INTEREST? THANK YOU. THANK YOU. 
          [3. PUBLIC INPUT]
ALRIGHT 603 PM WE WILL START OUR PUBLIC INPUT PART OF THE MEETING AND MR MCGREGOR COME ON DOWN. 
          JOEL MCGREGOR 89 21 EAST FAMILY LINE HERE AT DREW'S REQUEST. I KNEW I'D PAY FOR THAT, UM, WILL BE KUDOS FOR SUGGESTING THE C D. C E. D. C. FUND CHANGE. I DON'T THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA OVERDUE. UM JUST ONE COMIC PROBABLY WOULDN'T THINK ABOUT IS THE SAND AND SALT SPREADER. I REALLY HOPING WE DON'T SPREAD START SPREADING SALT. SAND IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR TEXAS. WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ICE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT, AND SALT REALLY DESTROYS OUR CARS. UM, I DON'T KNOW. IF YOU REPLACE YOUR CARD OVER A COUPLE OF YEARS. IT DOESN'T MATTER, BUT INDEX REALLY DON'T LIKE THAT KIND OF STUFF. UM OR IF YOU KEEP YOUR CAR FOR A FEW YEARS, YOU KNOW, YOU START HAVING A BIG PROBLEM. UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND THE CHART WITH THE DEBT CAPABILITIES AND STUFF, BUT AND I KNOW THEY DIDN'T WEREN'T IMPLYING THIS OR SAYING THIS, BUT I JUST REALLY HOPE WE DON'T SEE THAT AS WE NEED TO USE ALL OF THAT BECAUSE WE'RE SEEING THIS YEAR. ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE BEEN CAUTIONING. FOR THE PAST SEVERAL BUDGETS IS WE'RE SEEING A BIG DIP. FALL OFF ON SOME THINGS AND IS. THEY ALSO SAID THINGS ARE SO VOLATILE. I DON'T KNOW THAT ANYBODY CAN PREDICT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN OVER THE NEXT YEAR. IT'S GOING TO BE NUTS, AND WE MAY SEE SOME SERIOUS FALL OFF AND BE IN TROUBLE. SO I ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO REALLY CONSERVATIVE ON THIS YEAR'S BUDGET JUST BECAUSE OF THE SERIOUS UNKNOWNS THAT WE 
          [00:35:06]
HAVE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO ANY OTHERS TONIGHT? GOOD. 65 PM WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT

WE'RE ON TO OUR REGULAR ACTION ITEMS. I DON'T SEE CALLING, CONSIDER CALLING AND AUTHORIZING A PUBLIC HEARING TO BE HELD IN JULY 14TH AT 5 30 PM AND OUR NEXT COUNCIL MEETING IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS REGARDING THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION OF SAINT PETER CHURCH, LOCATED AT 15, 71 CLEVELAND GIBBS ROAD. WE HAVE THE PASTOR HERE THIS EVENING AND MR CORN. YOU WANT TO GIVE US AN UPDATE, PLEASE? YES. UM, AFTER, UM. FURTHER CONSIDERATION. THE SAINT PETER LUTHERAN CHURCH I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE HAVE RE SUBMITTED A PETITION TO ANNEX THIS CASE AT THIS POINT, WE'RE JUST GOING TO GO THROUGH THE ANNEXATION. WE'RE NOT GOING TO DEAL WITH THE ZONING AT THIS POINT, AND THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THAT WOULD BE POTENTIAL FUTURE ITEM AT THE AT THE DIRECTION OF COUNCIL. AND AS THE MAYOR SAID. PASTOR ROBERT VAL DO IS HERE. AVAILABLE, BUT. YEAH THIS IS A PART OF THE AREA THAT WAS TRADED WITH FORT WORTH AND OUR BIG SETTLEMENT. AND RECENTLY WE WERE IN POSSESSION OF A NEW PETITION, SO NOTHING REALLY NEW HERE. ALRIGHT SO WE'RE JUST IT'S A STRICTLY AN ANNEXATION IN IN ALL WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW IS JUST CALLING THE PUBLIC HEARING THE PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE SCHEDULED AT YOUR NEXT MEETING. JULY 14TH THE PUBLIC HEARING TAKES PLACE.

          [5D. Consider Resolution 22-38, approving and authorizing the Town Manager to execute an Interlocal  Cooperation Agreement between Denton County, Belmont Fresh Water Supply Districts No.  1 and No. 2 of Denton County and the Town of Northlake for the design and construction of  220 linear feet of Harvest Way located within the Town of Northlake's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction]
ALRIGHT, ITEM D RESOLUTION 22-38 AUTHORIZING TOWN MANAGER EXECUTED IN OUR LOCAL BETWEEN DENTON COUNTY, BELMONT, FRESH WATER SUPPLY DISTRICTS, ONE AND TWO AND THE TOWN OF NORTH LAKE FOR THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF 200 FT OF TWO AND 20 FT OF HARVEST WAY LOCATED WITHIN TOWN IN NORTH LAKES, E. T. J. SO THIS ITEM COUNSELORS, THIS IS BEEN A TOPIC OF CONVERSATION GOING BACK 
          [00:40:05]
QUITE SOME TIME. WE HAD PUT IT ON THE BACK BURNER AND SAID, KIND OF PUT IT ASIDE FOR A WHILE, IT DIDN'T REALLY MEET OUR OUR NEEDS AT THE TIME ARE REALLY THE WAY IT WAS GOING IN TERMS OF NEGOTIATIONS WASN'T REALLY UH, SATISFYING, I SHOULD SAY. AND SO IT DID GET PUT ON THE BACKBURNER FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND OPPORTUNITY CAME UP A LITTLE WHILE BACK WHERE THE PARTIES KIND OF CAME BACK TOGETHER AGAIN. SOME ADDITIONAL PARTIES CAME TO THE TABLE. AND HERE'S HERE'S WHAT'S GOING ON. SO THIS PARTICULAR SECTION OF HARVEST WAY IS RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. AND AS YOU MAY KNOW, OLD JUSTIN ROAD IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING SHUT DOWN HERE SHORTLY FOR CONSTRUCTION FOR SOME MONTHS, FOUGHT ROAD WILL HAVE TO BE CONSTRUCTED AT SOME POINT THAT'S GOING TO BE SHUT DOWN FOR SOME MONTHS. UM THE RECENTLY JUST IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. I FORGET HOW LONG AGO AS WE OPENED COUNTY COMMISSIONER HAD A RIBBON CUTTING FOR A LOT OF US UP AT THE FIRE STATION. AND WE OPENED A KIND OF A BACKDOOR WAY TO GET TO HARVEST WAY. SO THERE IS TECHNICALLY A ROADWAY. THAT'S NOW YOU CAN GET FROM CLEVELAND GIBBS TO THE NORTH THROUGH A SECTION OF HARVEST. THINK 17TH STREET. IT IS AND THEN YOU CAN TAKE A LEFT AND GET BACK UP ON HARVEST WAY AND GET OUT TO THE RIDGE. THE NEED FOR THAT WAS FAIRLY HIGH NUMBER ONE. WE COULDN'T SHUT ALL JUSTIN WITHOUT SEVERELY IMPACTING EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO THE RIDGE. INTERRUPTS AND RANCH. UM OPENING THAT THAT NORTH SOUTH CORRIDOR HAS BEEN A VERY HIGH PRIORITY FOR THE COUNTY HIGH PRIORITY FOR US AS WE LOOK AHEAD TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE BREAKOUT SECTION OF 407. IN THE NEXT YEAR OR TWO. WE HAVE A NUMBER OF MAJOR ROADWAYS ARE GONNA BE SHUT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. AND WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE ARE STAGED IN SUCH A WAY THAT AS ONE GETS SHUT DOWN FOR CONSTRUCTION, THERE'S AN ALTERNATIVE THAT OPENS UP THIS HAS BEEN ON THIS PARTICULAR HARVEST WAY HAS BEEN, YOU KNOW, TOPIC OF CONVERSATION GOING BACK. AS I SAID SOMETIME FIVE YEARS, FIVE. OKAY THAT LONG. 
          ALRIGHT. SO, UM, WE FINALLY DID. FIND A WAY FORWARD, AND SO WE'RE PUTTING IT IN FRONT OF YOU TONIGHT FOR CONSIDERATION. I DO FINALLY SUPPORT THIS APPROACH. AND WHAT THE APPROACHES IS. 
          BASICALLY WE'VE GOT ALL PARTIES AT THE TABLE. SO WE HAVE DENTON COUNTY, WHICH CAME BACK AND TALK TO ME SOME TIME AGO, COUNTY COMMISSIONER AND MYSELF AND WE TALKED ABOUT POSSIBLY PUTTING UM , COOPERATION BACK ON THE TABLE THAT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT PREVIOUSLY MONTHS AND MONTHS AGO. BUT IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN, WE ALSO NEEDED THE PARTICIPATION OF THE PROPERTY OWNER. WHO NEEDED SOME SKIN IN THE GAME AND THEN ALSO THE FRESH WATER SUPPLY DISTRICTS. AND WHAT THEY HAVE BASICALLY COME FORWARD WITH, AND THIS IS PRETTY SURPRISING HOW THIS TURNED OUT, UM, THE TOWN IN DENTON COUNTY. OUR NEGOTIATION WAS THAT WE WOULDN'T CONSIDER ANYTHING MORE THAN WHAT WAS TALKED ABOUT IN THE PAST. UM BUT THAT THE FRESH WATER SUPPLY DISTRICTS WOULD STEP FORWARD. AND COVER THE ADDITIONAL COSTS AS WELL AS THE PROPERTY OWNER DONATING THE RIGHT OF WAY, WHICH WAS NECESSARY TO MAKE THIS WORK. WE INITIALLY HAD A SCOPE FOR THIS. 
          THAT WAS SOMEWHERE IN THE $400,000 RANGE. IS THAT CORRECT? AND WE WERE ABLE TO WHITTLE THAT DOWN TO ABOUT 220,000 FOR THIS BASICALLY INVOLVES STRIPPING EVERYTHING AWAY FROM THIS CONSTRUCTION PROJECT DOWN TO LITERALLY THE JUST THE ROAD ITSELF. AND THAT TOOK SOME QUITE A BIT OF WORK. IT DOES INVOLVE PARTNERING WITH THE CONSTRUCTION FROM ALL JUSTIN ROAD, THE MOBILIZATION THERE AND KIND OF ATTACHING INTO THAT PROJECT. IT'S A PRETTY COMPLEX AMOUNT OF NEGOTIATION THAT WENT INTO GETTING THE COST DOWN TO THAT AMOUNT. BUT AS WE LOOK AT THE MACRO HERE AS I BACK UP TO THE STREETS AGAIN, WE DESPERATELY NEED NORTH SOUTH CORRIDORS THROUGH HARVEST. WHEN WE HAVE THESE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS GOING ON, WE'VE GOT THREE MAJOR ONES FOUGHT OLD JUSTIN ROAD AND 407. EACH OF THOSE ARE GOING TO BE VERY DISRUPTIVE WHEN THEY HAVE TO GO WHEN THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH. AND WE'RE TRYING TO STAGE THEM IN SUCH A WAY THAT, FOR THE MOST PART WILL BE SEPARATE FROM EACH OTHER SOUL. JUSTIN'S GOING NOW WHAT ROAD WILL BE LATER? IN THE MEANTIME, WE'RE ALSO PURSUING CLEVELAND GIVES TRYING TO CONNECT THAT PART NORTH SOUTH AS WELL. BUT THAT'S GOING TO BE EVEN FURTHER OUT AT THIS POINT, SO THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO HELP US IN THE SHORT TERM. THIS ROADWAY IS NUMBER ONE, OPENING UP THE EMERGENCY SERVICE PATH FROM THE FIRE STATION TO POINTS NORTH. THAT WAS THE PRIMARY CONSIDERATION FOR GETTING THESE OPEN. SECONDARY CONSIDERATION IS ACCESS TO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FOR PARENTS FROM THE RIDGE, WHICH IS LESS IMPORTANT SINCE THE. THE REZONING, BUT THEY'RE STILL STUDENTS THAT NEED TO ATTEND THAT THAT SCHOOL AND SO THAT'S AN IMPORTANT ACCESS POINT 
          [00:45:05]
AND THIRD IS ACCESS EVENTUALLY TO RIGHT NOW TO THE NORTH LIKE COMMONS. BUT THEN EVENTUALLY TO THE GROCERY STORE, COLOR CORNER AND ARGYLE E. T. J. SO WE'VE GOT A BIT OF A SALES TAX OPPORTUNITY . MOBILITY OPPORTUNITY, SCHOOL MOBILITY AS WELL AS EMERGENCY SERVICES. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN SOMETHING THAT WE WANTED TO GET DONE. TOOK AN AWFULLY LONG TIME TO GET HERE, BUT WE FINALLY HAVE SOMETHING THAT I FEEL CONFIDENT . PUTTING IN FRONT OF YOU MEETS THE PASSES THE SNIFF TEST. IF YOU WILL. IT'S GOT EVERYBODY AT THE TABLE. WE'VE STRIPPED THE COST DOWN AND WE'VE GOT PARTICIPATION FROM EVERYBODY. I SHOULD ALSO MENTION THE FRESH WATER SUPPLY DISTRICTS. WHEN WE ORIGINALLY SCOPED THIS WERE ABOUT 200,000, AND IT LOOKED LIKE WE WEREN'T GOING TO QUITE GET THERE AND THEY STEPPED UP AND BASICALLY AGREED TO. AT THIS POINT THEY'RE COVERING 60,000 APIECE VERSUS 50 FROM THE COUNTY AND THE TOWN IF WE CHOOSE TO PARTICIPATE. BUT THEY BASICALLY AGREED. IF THIS THING RUNS OVER A LITTLE BIT THAT THEY WANT THIS ENOUGH THAT THEY'RE WILLING TO STEP FORWARD AND PAY FOR IT. WHICH BY THE WAY, THE FRESHWATER SUPPLY DISTRICT. THIS ISN'T THEIR PROPERTY, SO THEY'RE GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND HERE, THEY'RE SPENDING THEIR MONEY AT THEIR RESIDENCE, BEHEST TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS GETS DONE AND GETS DONE NOW. THEY WANT THIS DONE. 
          THEY WANTED IT DONE. THEY WANT IT OPEN. AND SO THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STATUS. FIREFOX OR FURTHER THAN FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD OVER HERE. SO THAT'S THE STORY. SO I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE I HAD A FEW CONVERSATIONS AND EXECUTIVE SESSION SOMETIME AGO. 
          BUT NOW WE HAVE SOMETHING IN FRONT OF YOU TO TALK ABOUT PUBLICLY THAT I THINK MAKES SOME SENSE SO COUNSELING OPEN TO YOUR UNLESS, MR CORN. YOU GOT ANY MORE TO THE STORY THAT I MISS ANYTHING? OKAY, SO THE ASK IS THAT WE WOULD PARTICIPATE AT $50,000 LEVEL WITH DENTON COUNTY AT 50,000, BOTH FRESH WATER SUPPLY DISTRICTS AT 60, CURRENTLY AND THEY WOULD CONSIDER ANY OVERRUNS. THE PROJECT WOULD BE EXECUTED BY DEVELOPER AS THEY DEVELOPED THE OLD JUSTIN ROAD PROJECT, AND THAT KEEPS THE COSTS DOWN. IF IT'S DONE SEPARATELY, IT'S GOING TO INCREASE THE COST FOR THAT. FOR THAT SECTOR. IT IS QUITE A BIT OF EXPENSE FOR 220 LINEAR FEET COMES OUT TO BE $1000 A FOOT THERE. TO GET THAT ROADWAY , BUT IT IS JUST THE JUST THE FOOTPRINT OF THE ROADWAY. AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER PIECE TO THIS. SO WATERLINE. WHAT'S THAT ABOUT? WE'D LIKE TO LOOP THE WATER LINE. WE HAVE AVAILABLE IMPACT FEE FUNDS FOR THE NORTH PRESSURE PLANE. SO WE WOULD JUST WE WOULD PAY FOR THAT SEPARATELY . AS PART OF OUR WATER SYSTEM. 
          ALL OF HARVEST IS OUR WATER CUSTOMER. THE THIS IS IN OUR CCN BOUNDARY. THE ASPIRE TRACK WOULD BE A WATER CUSTOMERS WELL, SO JUST FOR BETTER OPERATIONS, EFFICIENCY LOOPING. WE WERE GOING TO PUT A ROAD BUT WE'VE GOT SEPARATE FROM THE ROAD PROJECT. WE'VE GOT SEPARATE FUNDS FOR THE WATER SYSTEM. SO IS PAID FOR THROUGH THE WATER SYSTEM FROM COMING FROM HARVEST. 
          AH YES. HARVEST PAYS PAYS THE SON OF TRUE IMPACT FEE. IT'S A COST PARTICIPATION FEE. YES ALRIGHT, SO TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET ALL THIS DONE AT THE SAME TIME. ACCELERATE THE BUILD OUT OF THIS ROADWAY, WHICH HAS BEEN SOMETHING WE WANTED SOME TIME AGO BUT COULDN'T COME TO AN AGREEMENT ON IT. BUT WE DO HAVE AGREEMENT FROM ALL PARTIES, THE ONE OF THE FRESH WATER SUPPLY DISTRICTS HAS SIGNED OFF ON THIS AGREEMENT ALREADY. I THINK THE SECOND ONE OF THE TWO. 
          I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S NUMBER ONE OR NUMBER TWO HAS YET TO DO SO, BUT THEY HAVE AGREED TO THEIR PART IN COUNTY HAS THE SCHEDULED FOR THE 12TH. AND THE PROPERTY OWNER IS WILLING TO SIGN THE AGREEMENT AND DONATE THE RIGHT OF WAY ONCE THIS AGREEMENTS IN PLACE. SO COUNCIL WHAT'S UH, WHAT'S YOUR THOUGHT ON THIS? JUST ONE QUESTION. WHY AIRLINE? OBVIOUSLY THERE'S HOUSES BUILT IN NORTH OF THAT ALREADY THAT HAVE WATER HOUSES THE SOUTH THAT HAVE WATER. SO ARE WE REPLACING A LITTLE LOOP WITH A STRAIGHT THROUGH PIPER JUST FEELS LIKE WE'RE ALREADY SERVICING THAT AREA AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE LOOP THAT'S MISSING. YEAH I MEAN , WE WE'VE GOT WE'VE GOT SERVICE LINES, EIGHT INCH LINES GOING THROUGH ALL THE STREETS, BUT WE'D LIKE A YOU KNOW THE 12 INCH LINE OF MAINLINE. SO YOU'VE GOT YOUR YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT YOUR MAIN SKELETON. AND THEN YOU'VE GOT YOUR TENDRILS THAT COME OFF THAT THIS IS THIS IS TO CONNECT THAT MAIN LINE WE'VE GOT THERE. 
          IT'S THAT CLOSE. WE WOULD JUST LIKE IT'S PART OF OUR MASTER PLAN IS JUST TO CLOSE THAT OFF. 
          OKAY, SO THERE'S A MAJOR LINE HERE IN MAJOR LINE HERE, AND WE'RE JUST. ALRIGHT, I'LL ENTERTAIN ANY MOTIONS ON THIS SINCE I'VE BEEN MESSING ON THIS FOR SO LONG ALBUM, ALL MOTION ON THIS ONE. IS THERE A SECOND THANK YOU, SIR. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. ALRIGHT, VERY GOOD. OPEN THE VOTING PLACE. 
          [00:50:13]
NEVER WENT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, GENTLEMEN. TRY TO GET THAT DONE QUICKLY. ALRIGHT ITEM 
          [5E. Consider an appointment to fill the Board of Adjustment, Place 5 vacancy, for an unexpired term  ending on May 31, 2023 ]
E CONSIDERING APPOINTMENT TO FILL THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT PLACE FIVE FOR AN UNEXPIRED TERM ENDING ON MAY 31ST 2023. WE HAD A RESIGNATION FROM THE B O A. AND SO WE HAVE A VACANCY TO FILL. WE HAVE ONE APPLICATION. FROM MISS ALEXANDRA HOMES FROM PECAN SQUARE. I BELIEVE ALL RIGHT. SO THE FLOOR IS OPEN FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. BUT. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS APPLICANT? YOU HAVE. THE CHOICE IS HERE ALL FRAME UP FOR A SECOND, AND YOU CAN JUMP IN UM, SO WE HAVE OUR APPLICATION. WE HAVE SOME INFORMATION ON HER. WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO FILL THIS SEAT WITH THE APPLICANT TO FILL THIS SEAT WITH AN APPLICANT OF YOUR CHOOSING THAT YOU MAY RECOMMEND WITHOUT THEY DON'T HAVE TO NECESSARILY PUT AN APPLICATION. AND IF YOU HAVE SOMEONE THAT YOU'VE BEEN CONSIDERING AND WANT TO CONVINCE THE REST OF THE BOARD TO CONSIDER OR WE CAN TABLE FOR ANOTHER TIME AND GET MORE APPLICATIONS OR FOLLOW UP SOME MORE ON THIS APPLICATION. 
          TO GET THREE. I BELIEVE THOSE ARE THE THREE OPTIONS. DREW. WHAT'S THE. SINCE THEY CHARTER REQUIRED REQUIRES HER RECOMMENDS THAT WE HAVE DISTRIBUTION THROUGHOUT THE TOWN ON THESE BOARDS. I KNOW THAT ONE OF THESE PEOPLE I BELIEVE IS THE STARDUST OR THE RIDGE. AH, BUT THERE'S MOST DO YOU KNOW THEIR MAKEUP OF THE BOARD? BY CHANCE. I BELIEVE JON STEWART'S ALSO IN PECAN SQUARE, ROBERT PARKER'S AND STARDUST THOMAS SLOT. THAT WAS APPOINTED. LAST WAS WAS HE GONE AS WELL? AND KATHY, CLEAR WHERE I'M NOT. I DON'T REMEMBER. WHERE SHE WAS. YEAH, MY. ONLY ONE COMMENT FOR ONCE, IT WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTACT APPLICANT. TALK TO THEM PRIOR TO THE MEETING TONIGHT, HOWEVER, ONE THING THAT CONCERNED ME WAS ONLY SEVEN MONTHS IN TOWN SO FAR. JUST MY PERSONAL THOUGHT. I'M NOT SURE IF WE SHOULD LOOK FOR MORE APPLICANTS OR NOT, BUT JUST SEVEN MONTHS IN TOWN, AND I DON'T THINK THIS PERSON'S EVER BEEN TO A COUNCIL MEETING. I COULD BE WRONG. JUST A LITTLE HESITANCY ON THAT PART. I ALSO MADE A PHONE CALL BUT WAS UNABLE TO CONNECT. SO I WAS I WAS KIND OF LEANING THAT WAY TOWARDS AT LEAST WAITING UNTIL I HAD A CHANCE TO SPEAK TO HER AT LEAST A LITTLE BACKGROUND WITH HER HUSBAND, WHO'S BEEN IN THE CONSTRUCTION, BUSINESS AND HARVEST FOR SOME YEARS, SO THAT'S GOOD, SO THEY HAVE SOME KNOWLEDGE OF THE AREA, BUT I AGREE WITH YOU. IT'S A SHORT TIME TO BE IN THE TOWN, AND IT CERTAINLY WOULD LOVE TO SPEAK WITH HER FIRST BEFORE WE MOVED FORWARD. THINK ABOUT HAVE ANY OPINION ON THAT. THEIR NEXT BOJ MEETING. DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE ALL FIVE JUST NEED A QUORUM. THREE. 
          ALRIGHT. SO THIS ISN'T THAT SO? I HEARD HIM. NO AND WHAT? I DON'T BELIEVE WE HAVE ANY ACTION BEFORE THEM AS THIS NEXT MEETING WILL BE A BUSINESS MEETING TO FOR THEM TO REAFFIRM OR ELECT A NEW CHAIR. OF THE BOARD AND TO PROVE THEIR MINUTES FROM MAYBE A YEAR AGO, SO OKAY? COUNCIL WOULD YOU BE OPEN TO TABLING THIS TILL THE NEXT MEETING? UH YOU CAN PURSUE WHAT OTHER AVENUE YOU FEEL BEST AT EITHER. UH YOU KNOW, CALLING FOR SOME MORE APPLICANTS AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, SPENDING SOME TIME TALKING TO THIS APPLICANT, GET SOME MORE INFORMATION. RIGHT? SO THEN. 
          MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE THIS UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING. SECONDED BY THE MAYOR PRO TEM WE VOTE ON THIS. TRY IT AGAIN. THERE IT IS. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, THAT IS OUR ACTION ITEMS ON THE AGENDA THIS EVENING. WE'LL GET TO WORK ON DOING OUR HOMEWORK A LITTLE MORE
