ALL RIGHT. AT THIS TIME, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BRIEFING ON HR. YES THANK YOU. MAYOR THE COUNCIL ADDED TO THE BUDGET, A HUMAN RESOURCES COORDINATOR AND, UM, THIS IS CHANCE. WILLEFORD OUR HUMAN RESOURCE COORDINATOR, AND IT'S BEEN ABOUT A YEAR, SO I ASKED HIM TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON HIS ACTIVITIES AND WHAT HE'S ACCOMPLISHED IN THIS POSITION AND THINK THE COUNCIL FOR FUNDING AND CREATING THIS POSITION RIGHT? NO PRESSURE. DON'T MESS IT UP. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. AS DREW SAID, MY NAME IS CHANCE. WILLEFORD I'VE BEEN AT WORK WITH THE TOWN OF NORTH LAKE FOR ABOUT 18 MONTHS NOW, LAST 12 OF WHICH WAS SPENT AS YOUR INAUGURAL HUMAN RESOURCES COORDINATOR. WANT TO TAKE THIS TIME TO DELIVER YOU A VERY BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE PROGRESS WE'VE MADE WITH THIS PROGRAM OVER THE PAST YEAR. SO AS MOST OF YOU ALL KNOW, PRIOR TO MY APPOINTMENT IN THIS POSITION, ALL THE HUMAN RESOURCES ACTIVITIES WERE COVERED BY ONE OF THE MANY ACTIVITIES COVERED BY THE PREVIOUS TOWN SECRETARY, SHIRLEY ROGERS. AND SO WHEN I STEPPED INTO THIS POSITION, IT'S NOT AS THOUGH THERE WERE NO HUMAN RESOURCES FUNCTIONS ALREADY TO EXIST. MY JOB WAS TO CONSOLIDATE THEM, UNIFY THEM, BRING THEM TOGETHER AND REFINED THEM, AS I COULD, IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE THE EFFICIENCY OF THE TOWN, SO THERE WERE THREE AREAS OF FOCUS THAT I BROUGHT INTO THIS POSITION, THE FIRST BEING RECORD KEEPING THE SECOND THING PROCESS MANAGEMENT AND THE THIRD BEING THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR INTERNAL ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. SO VERY BRIEFLY GETTING INTO A RECORD KEEPING THIS IS, UH EASY AND CHALLENGING TASK BECAUSE SURELY KEPT VERY THOROUGH RECORDS OF EVERYTHING.AND CHALLENGING BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL PAPER. ALL RIGHT. OKAY SO THE FIRST SEVERAL WEEKS OF MY TIME HERE WAS SIMPLY A PROCESS OF DIGITIZING ALL OF OUR RECORDS TO PUT THEM INTO A FORMAT THAT WAS MORE USEFUL IN OUR TECHNOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT. UM ONCE I HAD ALL OF THE RECORDS KIND OF PROCESSED, UPLOADED TO A PERSONAL SERVER AND AUDITED, UM JUST TO TAKE ACCOUNT OF THE ITEMS THAT WE HAD. I COMPARED IT TO THE STATE ESTABLISHED GENERAL RECORD KEEPING STANDARDS, WHICH CAN INCLUDES ITS OWN DISPOSITION SCHEDULE FOR THE RECORDS ARE SUPPOSED TO KEEP AND DISPOSE OF, AND SO ON. AND CURRENTLY WE'RE IN THE PROCESS. I'M WORKING WITH JOHN CLOSELY TO INITIATE AND COMPLETE TRANSITION TO NEO GOV, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY JUST TAKING THE INFORMATION OFF OF OUR SERVER GETTING IT ONTO THE CLOUD. THE THING WITH MANY OF OUR TOWN OPERATIONS. THIS PROCESS WILL ALLOW US TO AUTOMATE A LOT OF, UH NORMAL HR FUNCTIONS AND GIVES US A SENSE OF PERMANENCE FOR THE RECORDS THAT WE NEED TO KEEP FOR DISPOSAL OF I THINK WE FIXED THE CLICKER TO THANK YOU. PARDON ME. GETTING IN THE PROCESS MANAGEMENT. SO ONE OF MY GOALS COMING INTO HUMAN RESOURCES IS NOT JUST TO CREATE AH, AN INTERNAL PROCESS FOR MYSELF TO LIVE UP TO, BUT ACTUALLY TO ENHANCE THE OPERATIONS OF OTHER DEPARTMENTS WITHIN THE TOWN, OKAY? SO ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS ABLE TO DO TO BENEFIT THE EMPLOYEE GROUP AS A WHOLE IS NEGOTIATE THE INSURANCE POLICIES WITH OUR BROKER. SO FOR THE PAST 15 YEARS DREW HAS BEEN TAKING THE TIME TO STEP AWAY FROM WHATEVER WORK WAS ON HIS PLATE TO GO TO WILL SPRINGER HUB OR INSURANCE BROKER. AND INITIATE AND COVER THE ENTIRE PROCESS FROM START TO FINISH. LAST YEAR , I WAS ABLE TO GO ALONG WITH HIM AND WITNESS HOW IT WORKS. THIS YEAR I WAS ABLE TO DO IT ABOUT 80. I WOULD SAY ON MY OWN UH, WHAT THAT DOES FOR US IS THAT LET ME GET ON. WILL SPRINGS SCHEDULE IN MAY INSTEAD OF MAYBE IN AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER AND GET THE NEGOTIATIONS ROLLING EARLY IN THE FISCAL YEAR COMPARATIVELY AND THIS YEAR IT PAID OFF FOR US. WE WERE ABLE TO MAINTAIN ALL OF OUR PREVIOUS CHARGES WHILE ENHANCING THE INSURANCE OPTIONS WILL BE ABLE TO DELIVER TO OUR EMPLOYEES SO SHOWING THAT WE CARE ABOUT OUR EMPLOYEES HOPEFULLY CONTINUE TO IMPROVE
[00:10:05]
OUR RETENTION. OTHER THINGS THAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO IS SUPPORT THE BUDGET PROCESS OF ONE OF THE COUNCIL'S STRATEGIC GOALS IS TO ENSURE THAT EMPLOYEES ARE PAID AT MID MARKET RATES. IT'S VERY CHALLENGING TO HAVE PEOPLE STEP AWAY FROM THE NORMAL JOBS CONDUCT SALARY SURVEYS. IT'S SOMETHING THAT HUMAN RESOURCES WAS ABLE TO EXCUSE ME ABLE TO DO THIS YEAR. ALSO ASSIST WITH DIRECTLY COMPILING THE BUDGET. AND THEN AH! REVIEW OUR INTERNAL PAYMENT SCHEDULES TO ENSURE THAT EMPLOYEES RECEIVED INTELLIGENCE TO WHICH THEY ARE ENTITLED AND DON'T RECEIVE. BENEFITS TO WHICH THEY'RE NOT ENTITLED. ALSO INCLUDING PROCESS MANAGEMENT, MISS THEIR SIMPLE HR GENERAL TASKS SUCH AS THE ON BOARDING OFF BOARDING EMPLOYEES. THESE ARE THINGS THAT THE TALENT SECRETARY USED TO BE DISTRACTED AND HAVE TO DO SO THE 19 NEW EMPLOYEES THAT WE ONBOARD THIS YEAR AND THE 11 THAT WE SAID FAREWELL TO THESE ARE THINGS THAT IN PREVIOUS YEARS WOULD HAVE POSSIBLY DETRACT FROM THE QUALITY OF THE SERVICES THAT YOU RECEIVED FROM THE TOWN SECRETARY. WE ALSO HAD AN OPPORTUNITY. I HAD THE BANDWIDTH TO TAKE ON ALL OF OUR JOB DESCRIPTIONS FOR MORE THAN 35 POSITIONS, SOME OF WHICH HADN'T BEEN. YOU KNOW, WE HAVEN'T HAD OCCASION TO UPDATE OUR JOB DESCRIPTIONS IF WE HAD A AN INCUMBENT WHO HAD BEEN PRESENT FOR 5 10 15 YEARS SOMETHING WE'RE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF. AND THEN UP TO THIS POINT. THE TOWN SECRETARY ALSO HAD BEEN THE RISK MANAGER. AND WE HAD 11 WORKERS COMP CLAIMS THAT I WAS ABLE TO PROCESS THIS YEAR, SOME OF WHICH ALSO INCLUDED. VEHICLE CLAIMS, SUCH AS THE SIGNIFICANT CLAIM THAT WE HAD IN FEBRUARY FOUR POLICE OFFICERS THESE ARE NOT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DO, BUT THEY ARE TIME CONSUMING. AND I THINK THAT HUMAN RESOURCES THIS POSITION REALLY WAS A VALUE ADDED AND KEEPING PEOPLE FOCUSED ON THEIR PRIMARY JOBS. GETTING INTO ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE.IT'S A TOPIC THAT I CARE ABOUT DEEPLY EARLY ON IN MY TENURE, DREW ASKED ME TO GO AHEAD AND PUT TOGETHER AN ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE POLICY. THAT'S SORT OF SOLIDIFIED OUR GOALS AS EMPLOYEES TO SUPPORT THE VISION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL AND THE KIND OF WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENT THAT WE WANT TO CREATE. AND THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN SUPERVISORS EMPLOYEES. THAT WAS SUCCESSFUL. WE IMPLEMENTED THAT. SO USING IT AS A SPRINGBOARD, WE KIND OF JUMPED DIRECTLY INTO A VERY THOROUGH REVISION OF OUR EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK. UM I LED A TEAM OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM EACH DEPARTMENT TO COME IN. MAKE SURE THAT THE HYMN BOOK WAS WRITTEN IN SUCH A WAY THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY FOUND IT USABLE. ACTUALLY, WE'RE ABLE TO REFERENCE POLICIES AS THEY WERE NEEDED. TO RECOMMEND CHANGES TO POLICY WHERE THE EMPLOYEES FELT WAS APPROPRIATE. AND THEN TO STAFF THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT HEADS TO THE TOWN MANAGER VERY VINDICATED BY THE AMOUNT OF INVOLVEMENT. AND THE AMOUNT OF PASSION AND HOW MUCH THE EMPLOYEES REALLY CARE ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT THEY DO A GOOD JOB HERE. AND THEN HAVING A PERSON IN THIS POSITION. THE HUMAN RESOURCES POSITION GIVES A RECOURSE FOR DEPARTMENT HEADS TO EXPLORE POLICIES THAT OTHERWISE THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO. SO EVERY TIME THE CDC HAD AN UPDATE TO THE COVID POLICIES, I WAS ABLE TO PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER AND STAFF IT. IF WE WANTED TO DO HOW HOLIDAYS NEED TO WORK IN THE FUTURE, I COULD PUT TOGETHER A POLICY AND STAFF IT. YOU KNOW IF WE NEEDED TO DISCUSS HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR US TO PROVIDE BENEFITS FOR LANGUAGES OR ANY OTHER TOPIC, ALL I NEEDED TO DO WAS PUT TOGETHER A MEMO. IT'S NOT TIME CONSUMING, BUT IT DISTRACTS FROM OTHER PURPOSES. ANOTHER THING AN OPPORTUNITY THAT I'M VERY GRATEFUL TO DREW TO ALLOW ME TO DO. I WAS, I WAS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING EMPLOYEES INTO THIS COUNCIL CHAMBER DURING THE WORK DAY AND RUN A PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COURSE.
UM IT WAS AN EIGHT WEEK COURSE THAT I RAN A FEW MONTHS AGO. TO BRING EMPLOYEES FROM ALL THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS, GET THEM TOGETHER AND DISCUSS WHAT IT MEANS TO COME TOGETHER AS A CULTURE. DID IT TO DISCUSS INDIVIDUAL GOALS TO FIND MENTORS AND OTHER DEPARTMENTS AND JUST COME TOGETHER AS WE GROW. IT BECOMES HARDER AND HARDER TO MAINTAIN THE SENSE OF FAMILY THAT HISTORICALLY WE'VE HAD WITHIN THE TOWN EMPLOYEE BASE. AND SO THESE OPPORTUNITIES TO COME TOGETHER AND INTERACT, INTERDEPARTMENTAL E BECOME INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT. DREW HAS BEEN RUNNING UM, THE. MID LEVEL PROFESSIONAL MEETINGS, AND HE'S ALLOWED ME TO COORDINATE THOSE FOR HIM, AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR THAT. WE HAVE A STRONG GROUP OF PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEES WITHIN THE TOWN IS GROWING STRONGER. THE ANALYSTS AND SIMILAR LEVEL POSITIONS WITHIN EACH OF OUR DEPARTMENTS WERE ABLE TO COME TOGETHER. AND DISCUSS REAL VISION ORIENTED. PROBLEMS THAT THE TOWN IS FACING AND DISCUSS HOW TO POOL RESOURCES AND ENERGY IN ORDER TO SOLVE THOSE PROBLEMS . I WANT YOU TO REST ASSURE THAT A LOT OF WORK IS GOING IN TO MAKING SURE THAT THESE HIGHER MID LEVEL EMPLOYEES ARE PREPARED TO ANSWER. UH, ANSWER YOUR REQUIREMENTS. AND SO FOR
[00:15:01]
OUTCOMES. I BELIEVE THAT THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN VERY BENEFICIAL IN REDUCING ADMINISTRATIVE FRICTION BY MAKING SURE THAT PROCEDURES ARE STANDARDIZED AS THEY CAN BE, AND BY INCREASING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN DEPARTMENTS. I BELIEVE THAT BY SEPARATING HR MATTERS FROM OTHER MATTERS WE'VE ALLOWED HISTORICALLY. AH! WE'VE ALLOWED EMPLOYEES TO FOCUS ON THE MAIN AREAS DESCRIBED IN THE JOB DESCRIPTION, NOT BE DISTRACTED BY BY HR MATTERS. AND I REALLY BELIEVE THAT THIS POSITION HAS DONE A GOOD JOB AND IS CONTINUING TO DO A GOOD JOB. AND BRINGING THE EMPLOYEES TOGETHER, PREVENTING PEOPLE FROM HAVING BLINDERS ON CONCERN TO THEIR OWN DEPARTMENTS AND REALLY MAKING SURE THAT WE SERVE THE TOWN AS EFFECTIVELY AS WE CAN. AND SO I KNOW THERE WAS A BRIEF OVERVIEW. BUT I THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK. UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. THAT'S ALL I WILL HAVE. IT WAS VERY THOROUGH.THANK YOU. YOU'VE GOT A LOT DONE IN ANY YEAR AND, UH, I MUST SAY , I'M VERY PLEASED BY WHAT YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE TOWN INTO THE CULTURE AND APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN. THANK YOU. MR
[2.D. Briefing - Proposed Terms for Amendment to Fort Worth Wholesale Water Agreement to Provide Additional Capacity and Related Infrastructure Improvements]
CORNYN WHOLESALE WATER TONIGHT. THANK YOU. MAYOR COUNCIL. WE'RE CONTINUING OUR RELATIONSHIP AND WITH WHAT WORTH FOR WHOLESALE WATER. AH! THIS MEETS A NUMBER OF COUNCIL GOALS. WE HAVE BEEN A WATER CUSTOMER WITH FOOTWORK SINCE 1997. THAT WAS THE TIME WE DID THE TRADE WITH WORTH AND THE BOUNDARY SWAP. WE HAD A UP THE LATEST AGREEMENT WAS UPDATED IN 2010. UM THIS, UM CURRENT AGREEMENT HAS 1.63 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY AND FOR BUILD OUT WE'RE GOING TO NEED AN ADDITIONAL SEVEN MG D. AH! THE CITY OF FORT WORTH, AND WE'VE DISCUSSED THIS. UM REQUIRES THEIR CUSTOMERS TO BUILD TO THEIR SYSTEM BUILD ENOUGH CAPACITY AND THEIR SYSTEM AND YOU REMEMBER THAT MAP. AND SO WE HAVE THOSE COSTS. I'LL GET TO THOSE IN JUST A SECOND. IF WE DON'T TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY, THIS KIND OF LAST GAP IN THEIR SYSTEM TO UP SIZE IT WE WOULD HAVE TO DO PARALLEL LINES INCREASES MINTS. KIND OF GO OVER ALREADY PLOWED GROUND. SO KIND OF TWO ASPECTS OF THIS OVER SIZING THOSE LINES THAT WE TALKED ABOUT, BUT ALSO PURCHASING THE CAPACITY FROM THEIR MANES AND. IN OUR DISCUSSIONS AND BASED ON COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL. WE'VE BROKEN THIS UP INTO TWO PHASES. THE FIRST PHASE WILL HOPEFULLY BE RELATIVELY QUICK. IT'S GOING TO BE LINES A THROUGH F AND ALLOW US TO GET TWO ADDITIONAL M G D AND THAT SET US UP FOR THE ADDITION OF FIVE MG D TO GET A STATE 50.63 AND WE BELIEVE THIS, ACCORDING TO OUR ENGINEERS THAT 8.63 MG D WILL PROVIDE THE WATER. WE THE WATER CAPACITY THE SOUTHERN PRESSURE PLANE. UM. AND I'LL GO OVER SOME OF THESE SOMETHING. A POLICY OF FOOT WORTH IS. THEY DO NOT ALLOW, UH , NEW STREETS TO BE CUT FOR TWO YEARS. SO WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH, UH THE PROJECT. ONCE WE DO THE AMENDMENT, THIS WILL START A PROJECT TO BUILD THOSE LINES.THEY'VE UM WE'RE GONNA USE HALF ASSOCIATES. WE'RE GOING TO RECEIVE A PROPOSAL FROM THEM TO DESIGN HIS LINES. FOOTWORK IS COMFORTABLE WITH HALF BEING THE ENGINEER OF RECORD FOR THE FOR THE THIS PROJECT. BUT WE'RE GOING TO WORK CLOSELY WITH THE LANDOWNERS AND DEVELOPERS TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T CUT ANY STREETS BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT THAT TO, LIKE TWO YEARS. HERE'S A MAP OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, AND MR IF YOU'LL RUN THE LASER POINTER. WE START IN THE SOUTH, JUST WEST OF THE RUNWAY OF A B AND C THROUGH THERE. THIS IS A CURRENT DEVELOPMENT AND WE'VE GOT TO GET IN THERE WHILE THIS IS BEING DEVELOPED, WATERLINE D IS ACTUALLY IN FOOT WORTH EXIT ITS AIRPORT PROPERTY. AND THEN YOU'VE SEEN E AND F CONNECTS THAT 24 INCH LINE AND GETS US THE CAPACITY THAT YOU WHICH WILL GO DOWN 1 14 AND BACK AROUND TWO M ONE. UM HERE ARE THE COSTS THAT FOR PHASE ONE. UM IT'S GOING TO BE SIX MILLION ROUGHLY. I ANTICIPATE COST INCREASES. HOPEFULLY THAT HAS SLOWED DOWN, BUT WE'RE STILL SEEING SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES AND PETROLEUM COST. MOST OF THIS STUFF IS MOST OF THESE PIPES ARE MADE FROM OIL, ULTIMATELY. PHASE
[00:20:07]
TWO IS. GETS US THAT SECOND POINT OF DELIVERY AND DUE TO OUR OUR FUNDING. WE HAVE OPTIONS TO INCLUDE LINE G IN THIS PROJECT. AND OUT OF LINE OUT OF THE THAT 10 MILLION LINE ITEM FOR THE PUMP STATION AND GROUND STORAGE. HALF A MILLION OF THAT IS THE ACTUAL METER STATION. SO WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET BLIND GM SO MOVE PART OF PHASE TWO INTO PHASE ONE. SO GO BACK A LITTLE BIT. SO YOU GET SIX MILLION PLUS THREE MILLION, SO WE'VE GOT ABOUT NINE MILLION. WE HAVE BUDGETED 10 MILLION IN THE C E. O S. SO WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO THIS. UH WE NEED TO. WE NEED TO LOOK AT PUTTING SOME PRESSURIZATION OF THIS, BUT THIS WILL GET US IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A LITTLE BIT AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. WE STILL HAVE IN TWO YEARS OUT. WE STILL NEED TO. WE HAVE IT PROGRAMMED TO DO THE PUMP STATION, THE GROUND STORAGE SO THIS WILL GET US THAT, UH CAPACITY. HOPEFULLY A LITTLE EARLIER. WE THINK WHILE WE'RE WORKING WITH WORTH WHILE WE HAVE THIS AGREEMENT, PUT IT ALL UNDER ONE CONTRACT. UM YOU KNOW, CAN BE ONE AND DONE WITH FORT WORTH WITH THIS NEW AGREEMENT AND GET ALL THE LINES DONE. WE STILL NEED TO WE STILL NEED TO DO THE PRESSURE. THE PUMP STATION IN THE GROUND STORIES, TANKS. UM BUT THAT WILL BUY US A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME ON THAT PROJECT. SO THESE ARE THE DEAL POINTS WILL COME BACK TO YOU WITH AN ACTION ITEM AND ACTUALLY AN AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT. UH AND IT'S BEEN WHAT WE'VE WHAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT. BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. REGARDING THIS. I THINK ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL THINGS THAT WE BROUGHT UP AT THE LAST TIME WAS MAKING SURE THAT THE PARTICIPATION THAT WERE PARTICIPATING IN IS, YOU KNOW, SUBSTANTIALLY NORTHLAKE SHARE.UM I'VE SEEN, YOU KNOW A LITTLE BIT OF ADJUSTMENT TO THAT. SO THAT'S GOOD. ARE YOU COMFORTABLE THAT THIS, UM FOLLOWS THAT PHILOSOPHY. YES SO I APOLOGIZE LINES A THROUGH F WILL BE A 55 45% SPLIT, SO ALMOST HALF WITH NORTH LAKE PAYING 55. IN FORT WORTH PLAYING 45% THESE ARE ALL ON THEIR C I P PROGRAM SO THERE WILL BE A COST SHARING AND THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THIS CONTRIBUTES TO THEIR SYSTEM LINE G IS GOING TO BE 100% NORTH LIKE THAT'S AT THE END OF THEIR SYSTEM.
HOWEVER, IF ANY OF FOOT WORTH DEVELOP. DEVELOPMENT USES CAPACITY IN LINE G. WE'RE ACTUALLY ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT, SO WE'VE GOT THAT AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT IN THE AGREEMENT AS WELL, IN THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THEN AGAIN, THAT'S KIND OF THE END OF THE SYSTEM. A LOT OF THAT'S ALREADY DEVELOPED. BUT IN THE EVENT SOMEBODY COMES UP OUR LINE OR THE LINE WE BUILT FOR FOOT WORTH ACTUALLY BE FOOT WORTH LINE WILL BE THE ONLY ONE DRAWING FROM IT, SO WE'RE THE ONLY ONE WITH CAPACITY FROM IT AGAIN. UNLESS SOMEBODY THE FUTURE COMES AND THEN WE'LL BE REIMBURSED. AND SO THE PROPORTIONS THAT YOU DESCRIBED AND I REMEMBER THE CONVERSATION WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW WE GOT TO THESE, BUT JUST FOR THE RECORD, UM YOU'VE EXAMINED THEM, AND YOU BELIEVE THEM TO BE APPROPRIATE TO SHARE THAT WE'RE ASKING, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, UPSIZING THEIR LINES AND WE'VE HAD OUR ENGINEERS LOOK AT THAT, AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE A FORMER FORT WORTH WATER EXECUTIVE THAT WORKS FOR HALF ASSOCIATES NOW THAT HAS VERIFIED THAT IN THEIR ENTIRE TEAM LOOKED AT, I ASKED THEM TO. IS THIS THE SAME AS EVERY OTHER CUSTOMER? GET GETS, AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT AS WELL. SO WE LOOKED AT IT THIS FROM KIND OF AN ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVE AND JUST A MARKET, OTHER CUSTOMER PERSPECTIVE. FROM A STAGING PERSPECTIVE ON THE SEQUENCE OF THESE ACTIVITIES. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE CORE OF THIS AND THE A THROUGH F IS THE NECESSITY OF GETTING THAT DONE WHILE THEY'RE CURRENTLY YOU KNOW, PUTTING IN LINE SO WE CAN OVERSIZE THEM, BUT THE IMMEDIATE NEED FOR WATER IS THE EXISTING EXISTING METER. WE HAVE FOR THE TWO MILLION DOES THE WORK ON G AND ALL THAT THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT? IS STAGE? REALLY IN OUR BEST INTERESTS AT THIS TIME IS IT IS IT A NECESSITY? IS THERE SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN COSTS? IF WE WAIT? HOW DOES THAT PART PLAY INTO? IT? DOESN'T LOOK LIKE WE'RE TAPPING INTO IT FOR A WHILE, WE NEED TO ANALYZE THAT. THAT'S A THAT'S JUST A PROPOSAL WHEN WE GET CLOSER TO THAT, WILL. NO I WILL TELL YOU COST TYPICALLY ALWAYS INCREASE IN THE VALUE OF MONEY. DECREASES THAT WE'LL BE PROUD TO GIVE YOU SOME DATA POINTS SO YOU CAN MAKE THE APPROPRIATE DECISION AT THAT TIME JUST LOOKING AT IT. INITIALLY WE MIGHT HAVE THE ADVANTAGE TO BUILD ALL OF THEM AT ONCE AND GET SOME ECONOMIES OF SCALE WITH ONE CONTRACTOR VERSUS MOBILIZATION COMING BACK
[00:25:04]
AND DOING THIS AGAIN, SO YEAH, WELL BEFORE WE MAKE THAT DECISION WILL BRIEF YOU AND, UH , SO FIRST STEP IS. AMEND OUR CUSTOMER CONTRACT OR CUSTOMER AGREEMENT SET THAT UP. SECOND STEP IS ENGAGED HALF FOR THE DESIGN OF THIS THIRD STEP WOULD BE THE CONSTRUCTION THROUGH THE DESIGN. ACTUALLY RIGHT EASEMENT ACQUISITION AND CONSTRUCTION WILL CONTINUE TO. COLLABORATE WITH FOOTWORK. MAKE SURE WE'RE MEETING ALL THERE. REQUIREMENTS AND SPECIFICATIONS THERE IS ACTUALLY IN THE DEAL POINTS REIMBURSEMENT OF WITHIN 60 DAYS , SO AS SOON AS WE CONTRACT FOR DESIGN THEY PICKED THEY DON'T WAIT UNTIL WE'RE THROUGH WITH THE DESIGN THEY PAY WITHIN 60 DAYS, THEIR PROPORTION SO THERE KIND OF COMING ALONG WITH US ON SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE CARRYING THE NOTE TOO LONG. ON THIS AND SAME WITH THE CONSTRUCTION ONCE IT'S AWARDED PRICES SET. WE GET OUR WHERE WE GET THE 45. TO START THE PROJECT , SO IT IS A FIRST CASH FLOW.IT'S VERY FAIR AGREEMENT AS WELL. OKAY, COUNCILORS. ARE WE ACTUALLY GOING THROUGH BID PROCESS AND STUFFERS FORT WORTH WORKING THAT THIS IS THIS WILL BE OUR PROJECT MEETING THEIR REQUIREMENTS, AND IT WILL BE HANDED BACK OVER TO FORT WORTH WILL BE IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT.
IT'LL BE IT'LL WILL DO. THE ENGINEERING CONTRACT WILL BE THE BIDS. THAT SOUNDS A LITTLE ODD THAT WILL BE ACTUALLY TURNING DIRT IN ANOTHER CITY. BUT. ALL RIGHT? YES AND THAT WATER FLOWING THROUGH THAT DIRT WILL BE OURS. WHAT'S THE TIMING ON THAT DECISION FOR WHEN THESE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS IS THIS THIS YEAR KIND OF THING, OR IS THAT G SECTION THINK WE'RE GOING TO NEED ANOTHER 69 MONTHS OF DESIGN? WHAT THE NEXT FEW MONTHS WILL HAVE THE AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT BACK BEFORE YOU, BUT THEN WE'LL START THE DESIGN PROCESS AND THEN IN 6 TO 9 MONTHS WILL HAVE BETTER. DATA FOR YOU TO MAKE THAT DECISION ON WHETHER IT INCLUDES YOU OR NOT.
OKAY? OKAY, LETS HELPFUL. COUNSELORS FURTHER QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ALRIGHT IT

Consider Resolution 22-48, approving and authorizing the Town Manager to execute an agreement with Hawkins and Walker, PC, to serve as Town Prosecutor, in an amount not to exceed $25,000]
ALRIGHT WE START OUR REGULAR ACTION ITEMS THIS EVENING ITEM. I IS THE FIRST ONE RESOLUTION 22-48. THIS ONE IS TO REPLACE OUR TOWN PROSECUTOR AND STRIKE AN AGREEMENT AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $25,000. THE RECOMMENDED UM, PROSECUTOR FIRM IS HAWKINS AND WALKER. MR CORN. CAN YOU WALK THROUGH? ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? TONIGHT? DUE TO THEIR STAFFING ISSUES AND RECOMMENDED A NUMBER OF SMALLER FIRMS TO PROVIDE THIS SERVICE. WE ACTUALLY TALKED WITH OUR MUNICIPAL JUDGE. AND HE RECOMMENDED THIS FIRM CONFIRMED WITH ASHLEY AND SHE AGREED WITH THAT RECOMMENDATION. UM THIS WILL BE A TWO PERSON FIRM. IF THERE IS AN ABSENCE, THEY SPECIALIZE IN THIS AREA. WE DID HAVE A SPECIFIC PROSECUTOR. AH WHEN I FIRST ARRIVED HERE WE WENT TO TAYLOR OLSON ATKINS, R ALA. ALARM FOR SERVICES IN THE INTERIM, AND WE'RE KIND OF RETURNING BACK TO A SPECIFIC PROSECUTOR, ALTHOUGH THIS WILL BE A SPECIFIC FIRM WITH TWO TWO ATTORNEYS THAT SPECIALIZE IN THIS AREA OF THE LAW. OKAY? AND I'LL JUST ADD OUR STAFFING ISSUES AND THE PROBLEM IS CONSISTENCY AND THAT THE COURT CLERKS HAVE HAVE ASKED FOR THAT AND WANTED THAT. AND, UM AND WE JUST HAD SOME TURNOVER AND CAN'T HAVE CAN'T PROVIDE THE CONSISTENCY. I THINK THAT YOU GUYS WANT SO WE SUGGESTED THIS IS AN ALTERNATIVE. AND CERTAINLY[00:35:01]
NO NO HARD FEELINGS THAT WE HAD NO, WE HAD NO PROBLEM WITH WITH TAYLOR OLSON TO BEGIN WITH. IT WAS JUST IT WAS JUST STAFFING ISSUE AND WE'RE RETURNING TO KIND OF THE BEST THAT WE USED IN THE PAST AND ASHLEY MUNICIPAL JUDGE. EVERYBODY SEEMS TO BE OKAY WITH THIS. FIRM WHO THEY SERVE. WHAT KIND OF VETTING YOU DID. UH UM. I DID NOT. I RELIED ON ASHLEY AND HARRIS HUET, OUR MUNICIPAL JUDGE TO DO THAT, AND THEY CAME HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY BOTH OF THEM. I WOULD BE KIND OF OUT OF MY SPECIALTY FOR THAT WE DID NEGOTIATED. SPEAK WITH ANDREW HAWKINS. WE DIDN'T NEGOTIATE A CONTRACT. IT IS THE HOURLY RATE WE HAD WITH THE PREVIOUS PROSECUTOR, SAME HOURLY RATE. BUT IN ADDITION, A TRAVEL STIPEND FOR EACH TIME THEY COME TO COURT, SO IT'S NOT MUCH MORE THAN WHAT IT WAS IN THE PAST. AND YOU KNOW, IT'S A PER MEETING RATE. I GAVE THEM THE OPTION OF DOING AN HOURLY RATE, WHICH IS WHAT TAYLOR OLSON DOES OR PERMITTING RATE THEY WENT WITH THE PERMITTING RATE AND A SMALL TRAVELS. UM. A ARE THERE BASED IN FORT WORTH. IT'S ANDREW HAWKINS AND SUMMER WALKER. UM AND I THINK THEY MAY HAVE A COUPLE OF ASSOCIATES AS WELL.BUT I THINK YOU'LL BE DEALING WITH YOUR YOUR COURT WILL BE DEALING WITH EITHER ANDREW OR SUMMER. AND EXCLUSIVELY PRACTICE AND MUNICIPAL COURTS, MOSTLY DEFENSE WORK, ALTHOUGH THEY ARE STARTING TO PICK UP MORE PROSECUTION, UM CLIENTS AND AS OF LAST FRIDAY, THEY'VE SAID THEY AREN'T TAKING ANY MORE CITATIONS IN NORTHLAKE. WHICH OF COURSE IS IT WOULD HAVE TO BE THE CASE, BUT THERE WELL. THE PENAL CODE. TRAFFIC. CLASS. MR IN. AND I WORKED WITH THEM. I KNOW WHAT OTHER CLIENTS TO HAVE. UH FOR PROSECUTION SERVICES.

THAT'D BE HELPFUL. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHO THEY ARE. GET A SENSE OF IT MYSELF. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. SO BEFORE WE GO TALKING ABOUT ADOPTING THE FISCAL YEAR 2023 BUDGET WE'D LIKE TO AMEND THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 BUDGET.

DESIGNATED WE'RE GOING TO ALL OF THOSE FUNDS. SO. FIRST, THEY SAY THIS IS THE EASIEST REPORTING REQUIREMENT. RECOGNIZE ART OF FUNDING AS REVENUE LOSS FOR YOUR MUNICIPALITY. AND SO WE DID THAT, SO THAT GIVES US FREE USE OF THE MONEY IN ANY WAY THAT WE DEEM NECESSARY BUT FUNDING FUNDING WAS PRIMARILY IN TO GO TO INFRASTRUCTURE AND SO WE KIND[00:40:12]
OF GEARED IT. THAT. SO I'M BRINGING TO YOU, UM. CDC. FUND IT. THREE YEARS. SO THAT'S THE ALLOCATION OF ITS THE ALLOCATION IS FOR THE JOURNAL. FUNDS. FOR THREE SPECIFIC PROJECTS. PARTICIPATION ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THIS, BUT THIS IS THE GENERAL FUND DOLLAR PORTION $440,000 FOR THE CLEVELAND GIVES RIGHT AWAY ACQUISITION PARTICIPATION. THIS IS LEAVING HIMSELF. THIS IS WHERE THE COUNTY BASICALLY WE'RE NOT PAYING FOR THE COMPLETION OF THE ROAD, BUT ANY EXCESS WE WERE GOING TO PAY FOR THE AWAY. AND THAT WAS PORTION. LASTLY. 200.THE CAN. FALLS. DRIVING WEST. VEHICLE. BIKE LANES. AND STRIPING.
AFTER WE MOVE IN THE REVENUE. TAKE ON THE EXPENSES. YOU'RE GOING TO DRAW FALLON. THE JOURNAL FUND OF TWO. PER YOU HAVE A VERY HEALTHY FUN BALLOT. ITS WAY. OVER SIX. AND YOU AND THIS IS GOOD. FOR FUN. BALANCED. DOLLARS. A ONE TIME USE. THESE ARE TIME. PROJECTS. CAPITAL.
THIS IS A GOOD OF USING CASH. SO THAT YOU DO HAVE TO FIND THESE DEBT. AND SO THIS IS FOR THESE ARE YOU. FOR THIS PROJECT SO. AGREE WITH THESE USES, WE WOULD ASK YOU TO APPROVE THIS BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022. ARE YOU ASKING YOU MENTIONED FOR PROJECTS THERE, BUT THERE'S ONLY THREE ON THE ON THE MEMO PAGE. BUT I THINK ON THE ORDINANCE ON THE BACK, YOU'VE GOT THE E D. C.

[5.O. Consider Resolution 22-49, awarding the bid and contract to Total Highway Maintenance, LLC for striping improvements of Westbridge Drive and Canyon Falls Drive, and authorizing the Town Manager to execute an agreement in an amount no to exceed $219,400]
THE NIGHT TO ITEM. OH IF YOU WOULD PLEASE THIS IS A CONTRACT AWARDING A BID FOR TOTAL HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE FOR STRIPING. IMPROVEMENTS OF WESTBRIDGE DRIVING CANYON FALLS DRIVE IN IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $219,400 . SO, MR CORN CAN YOU WALK US THROUGH HOW HE CAME TO THIS POINT? I THINK. HAVE RECEIVED REQUESTS FOR STRIPING ON WESTBRIDGE IS CURRENTLY NOT STRIVING, ESPECIALLY THE BRIDGE SECTION, AND THERE'S A CURVE THERE IN THAT BRIDGE. WE'VE ALSO HAD REQUEST GOING BACK SINCE CANNONBALLS STARTED FOR BIKE LANE. ON THERE ARE BIKE LANE. ON KENYAN DRY. I ENGAGED HALF TO UPDATE OUR DESIGN IN OUR SPECIFICATIONS FOR BIKE LANES AND ROADS DRIVING, SO WE'VE GOT THAT UPDATED. WE WENT OUT FOR BID. UNFORTUNATELY WE HAD THREE CONTRACTORS PICK UP BID PACKETS, BUT I ONLY HAD ONE SUBMIT. AH THIS IS A IT. IT'S A LOT FOR STRIPING. BUT LET ME KIND OF SHOW YOU THE EXTENT OF THIS, UM, THIS IS SO THAT TO THE BOTTOM, RIGHT IS CANYON FALLS DRIVE. THAT IS THE NORTH LAKE SECTION. YOU GO TO THE RIGHT OR YOU GO TO THE BOTTOM YOU GET IN FLOWER COME IN FLORIDA. YOU COME THROUGH NORTH LAKE. YOU BACK. TO FLOWER. ANYWAY. THAT'S TRUE. THROUGH THAT. SEASON. OF SCIENCE. BUT ALL OF US BRIDGES.US. LESS. NOT STRIKE. RIGHT NOW. AND IN ADDITION, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF ACROSS.
[00:45:30]
THERE WILL BE ANOTHER CROSS. THERE. SO A LOT OF THIS IS SAFETY. UH FOR PEDESTRIANS.SAFETY FOR BICYCLISTS AND, UM OUR SECTION OF CANYON FALLS DRIVE HAS FADED. IT'S BEEN AWHILE AND TEXAS SUN FLOWER AMOUNT HAS JUST RE STRIPED THEIR SECTIONS, SO IT'S EVEN MORE GLARINGLY OBVIOUS THAT WE NEED TO WE NEED TO STRIKE THAT. SO THIS IS THE CROSS. SECTION. OUR SPECIFICATION. WE'VE GOT. YEAH AT THE BRIDGE SECTION, AND THEN WE'VE GOT KENYAN FALLS DRIVE WITH THE BOULEVARD.
