[2.B. Presentation - Matt Koeper - 10 Years of Service]

SO, MATT, COME ON.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR BEARING WITH US THERE AND TAKE ENOUGH TIME TO RECOGNIZE OUR STAFF AND VETERANS. IT'S APPROPRIATE. WE DO SO AND GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO TONIGHT, BUT WE'LL GET WE'LL GET STARTED HERE. SO ITEMS, SEE BRIEFING ON WATER AND WASTEWATER RATES. MAYOR R CONSULTANT IS STILL IN ROUTE WOULD YOU MIND SKIPPING TODAY AND E OR F AND THEN WE CAN COME BACK TO SEE

[2.D. Briefing - Quarterly Reports]

WE'RE PRESENTING OUR FINANCIALS USING ARE OPENED UP PLATFORM. THIS ADDS A LAYER OF TRANSPARENCY TO OUR FINANCIALS. SO ALL OF OUR FINANCIAL NUMBERS ARE OUT THERE ON OUR WEBSITE.

YOU CAN DRILL DOWN IN THESE FINANCIALS DOWN TO THE LOWEST LEVEL, WHICH IS OUR LINE ITEM LEVEL SO YOU CAN SEE EXACTLY WHAT WE SPENT AND WHERE AND SO WE'VE BEEN USING THIS PLATFORM FOR A LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS NOW, AND I THINK IT'S ONE OF THOSE GREAT ASSETS THAT WE HAVE. NOT A CRAZY NUMBER OF PEOPLE ACTUALLY GO LOOK AT IT. BUT IF ANYONE EVER DOES, IT'S ALWAYS OUT THERE FOR THEM, AND I THINK IT'S ONE OF THE HIGHER STANDARDS OF TRANSPARENCY. WE CAN HAVE SO BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS. THIS IS OUR FOURTH QUARTER. FINANCIAL REPORT 94% OF TOTAL REVENUES IN BOOKS 100% OF PROPERTY TAX REVENUE HAS BEEN BOOKED. SO WHAT HASN'T BEEN BOOKED IS ANY REVENUES THAT WE ARE CRUISE? SO ANY REVENUES THAT COME IN AFTER THE FISCAL YEAR END BUT ARE FOR THE PRIOR FISCAL YEARS? SO A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THIS IS SALES TAX? THE LAST TWO MONTHS OF SALES TAX THAT COME IN. THERE'S A TWO MONTH DELAY SO THOSE LAST FEW MONTHS GET REMITTED BACK, AND IT HAPPENS EVERY YEAR. AND SO THAT'S A GOOD EXAMPLE OF ACCRUED REVENUE. SAME THING HAPPENS WITH UTILITIES THEY'RE BUILT ON THEY BUILDING CUT OFF IS AT THE 20TH. AND SO THIS IS ANOTHER ITEM, WHICH WE GO BACK AND TAKE THE 1ST 10 DAYS OF THE BUILDING CYCLE AND MOVE THAT BACK AND SO DURING THE AUDIT REMOVED MOST OF THOSE THINGS OVER SO WHEN YOU SEE 94% DOESN'T MEAN 100% WON'T BE THERE HERE BY THE TIME WE GET TO OUR AUDIT. ANY 1% OF TOTAL EXPENDITURES FOR SPENCE 86% OF BUDGETED CASH EXPENDITURES SPENT SO THOSE ARE OPERATING EXPENSES . UM SO THE REASON WHY

[00:10:01]

WHENEVER YOU ADOPT THE BUDGET FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS, YOU ADOPT THE FULL BUDGET FOR IT. THOSE TAKE MULTIPLE YEARS AND IT JUST BECOMES A ROLLING BUDGET AFTER THAT, EACH YEAR. SO THE REASON WHY YOU'RE GOING TO NOT SPEND ALL OF THAT BECAUSE ALL THE CAPITAL PROJECT DIDN'T HAPPEN IN ONE ENTIRE YEAR, AND SO THAT'S A PRETTY TYPICAL THING, BUT OVERALL, WE ARE RIGHT ON TRACK WHERE WE SHOULD BE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, THE LAST LITTLE BITS OF ROLLING IN AND SO WE FEEL GOOD GOING TO AUDIT SEASON. WE'VE CAUGHT ALMOST EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED WITHIN THE SCHOOL YEAR IN THIS EVERYTHING ELSE IS ON A DELAY AND WE'LL COME IN AND WE'LL GET THOSE READY FOR THE AUDIT. COUNSELORS. ANY QUESTIONS FOR JOHN. ALRIGHT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I NEVER FEEL GOOD GOING INTO AUDIT SEASON. OKAY I LIKE HOW TO SEASON BECAUSE IT HELPS YOU FIGURE OUT WHERE YOU HIT AND MISS. AND SO IT'S ONE OF THOSE ONES WHERE IT IF WE DID SOMETHING WRONG FOR THE BEST PLACES TO CATCH IT, AND IT'S ONE WE WOULD GET BETTER. ALRIGHT GOOD CONFIDENCE. THANK YOU. MHM SO OUR QUARTERLY INVESTMENT REPORTS. THIS IS FOR OUR FOURTH QUARTER, BUT WITH MUCH PEOPLE CALL Q THREE, UM OUR TOTAL CASH BOOK VALUE IS $41 MILLION. OUR FOURTH QUARTER INVESTMENT INTEREST EARNINGS WAS $133,000. WHY THAT'S SO IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE INTEREST EARNINGS INCREASED 173% QUARTER OVER QUARTER. THAT'S A NET INCREASE OF $84,000. AND THAT'S BECAUSE THE FED RAISING RATES FASTER THAN THEY EVER HAVE IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY. AND SO AS THAT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN, YOU WILL SEE OUR BOOK VALUE IN THE INTEREST THEY WERE EARNING ON IT SKYROCKET. THIS DOES BECOME AN ISSUE LIKE I HAVE TO USE SOME EXTRA REPORTING DURING IT BECAUSE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WERE EARNING INTEREST OFFERED BONDS AND WE HAVE A LOWER INTEREST RATE ON THAT. SO THERE'S A LOT OF ARBITRAGE THAT WE HAVE TO REMIT AND DO THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT IT'S TYPICAL. THAT HAPPENS, BUT IT'S WHEN WE'RE IN A HIGH INTEREST RAISING RATES. I'M NOT GOING TO ACT LIKE I UNDERSTAND THIS BECAUSE IT HAPPENED WAY BEFORE MY LIFETIME.

AND BEFORE, BUT WE'RE IN A VERY UNIQUE SITUATION WHERE THE MONEY THAT WE HAVE ON HAND IS NOW EARNING A RECORD AMOUNT OF INTEREST. SO IF YOU LOOK AT MY INTEREST, REPORTINGS, THIS IS WAY MORE THAN WE EVER PLANNED. UM, BUT THE GOOD PART IS THAT YOUR MONEY IS MAKING YOU MONEY AND THAT CAN GO BACK INTO LOWERING OVERALL OVERRUNS AND CAPITAL COSTS. AND SO ALL OF THOSE EXPENSES WILL GO BACK AND HELP YOU IN THE FUTURE. THANK YOU ANYMORE QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, JOHN. OKAY, UM. SLIDE HERE. I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF, UM

[2.E. Briefing - Police Department Update]

YOU'RE KINDA WENT DOWN. AND SOME SOME AREAS IT WENT UP, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, WE WERE DAMAGED A LITTLE BIT, SO OUR CALLS FOR SERVICE HAVE INCREASED BY 12% FROM THIS FISCAL YEAR FROM LAST FISCAL YEAR. CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION. SAME THING OR COMBINE WENT UP ABOUT 11. THAT'S ACROSS THE BOARD. AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S MORE SUPPLEMENTAL REPORTS AS WELL. THAT MEANS THERE'S PROBABLY MORE DEEPER INVESTIGATIONS THEY HAD TO GO THROUGH AND DO MULTIPLE SUPPLEMENTS. BURGLARIES THAT'S PROBABLY OUR BIGGEST THING. BIRTH RECENT THEFTS. UM IT WAS RELATIVELY FLAT. I MEAN, IT'S ONLY FIVE. FIVE B AND B DIFFERENCE, SO IT'S STILL PRETTY FLAT. BUT THAT'S THAT'S PART OF BIGGEST CRIME BECAUSE IT'S CRIME OF OPPORTUNITY, PEOPLE EITHER CORRIDORS AND PROBABLY 85% OF OUR BEING VISA AS USUAL. ARE LEFT UNLOCKED AND THE OTHER 15% OR THEY LEAVE ITEMS THAT ARE OPEN COMPUTERS, GUNS OR WHATEVER. IN THE FRONT SEAT PEOPLE BREAK IN. AND THEY TAKE HIM. ARREST ABOUT 14. OR FELONY ARREST, ACTUALLY. ARE FEELING THE ARREST INCREASED BY 24% FROM LAST YEAR, SO I MEAN, IT'S A HIRED GAUGING CRIME.

MISDEMEANORS WERE PRETTY FLAT WARRANTS WERE SLIGHTLY UP IN QUITE A BIT, TOO. SO WE SEE AN INCREASE IN THAT, UM AS WE AS WE MOVE FORWARD, TRAFFIC DATA AGAIN. YOU CAN SEE THE COVID

[00:15:03]

THEY'RE SELLING T SHIRTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, SO IT'S BEEN IT'S BEEN A GOOD YEAR. THAT WAS A QUICK RUNDOWN OF IT. QUESTIONS BEFORE WE LEAVE THAT TOPIC AS COUNSELORS. YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE CHIEF? I'LL JUST SAY THAT I APPRECIATE VERY MUCH THE DEPARTMENT AND WHAT YOU'RE DOING. UM I THINK THE QUALITY OF SERVICES IS EXCELLENT AND WE RECEIVE A LOT OF VALUE FROM THE SERVICES FROM THE DEPARTMENT. WE ALWAYS HAVE MORE WE WANT TO DO. THERE'S ALWAYS MORE REQUESTS FOR MORE THINGS. I THINK I'D LIKE TO ASK IF YOU JUST SAY A FEW WORDS ABOUT YOUR HOW DO YOU HANDLE? I MEAN, WE GET DOZENS OF CONCERNS ABOUT SPEEDERS AND CONCERNS ABOUT SECURITY. HOW DO YOU TAKE THOSE IN WHAT'S YOUR PROCESS TO TAKE THOSE IN DISTRIBUTE THEM TO STAFF? I MEAN, I MEAN, I KNOW THE PROCESS. YOU SHARED IT WITH ME. BUT I'D LIKE YOU TO SHARE IT WITH THE PUBLIC ON HOW YOU GO ABOUT CROSSING THOSE PRIORITIZING THOSE AND ALSO JUST YOUR REFLECTIONS ON WHERE ARE WE WITH HIRING IN TERMS OF THE FULL STAFF. THIS FULL STAFF REPRESENT WHAT YOU NEED TO SATISFY THE PUBLIC'S CONCERNS. UM AND IS THERE ANYTHING YOU NEED FROM US AS WELL INTO THIS NEW YEAR? LOT OF QUESTIONS YOU WANT ANSWERED. WE GET TRAFFIC COMPLAINTS. WE HAVE A FORM ON OUR WEBSITE THAT ANY CITIZEN CAN GO TO. EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT A CITIZEN, YOU GO TO OUR WEBSITE AND LET US KNOW WHAT IT IS. WHAT TIME THE TRAFFIC OCCURRENCES HAPPENING. WE'VE HAD SEVERAL PECAN SQUARE LATELY. PEOPLE ARE RUNNING STOP SIGNS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. AH, THAT GOES TO ALL THE SUPERVISORS. MYSELF AND THE CAPTAIN. SO THE ON SHIFT SUPERVISOR WERE USUALLY SEND AN OFFICER OUT THERE. UNLESS WE HAVE LOTS OF OTHER PRIORITY CALLS TO TAKE CARE OF.

THIS WEEK. WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET TO THEM AS QUICKLY BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN DOING FIREARMS TRAINING ALL WEEK, SO THAT TAKES A LOT OF THE TIME. UM SO, BUT WE'RE USUALLY OUT THERE WITHIN A DAY OR TWO OF THE TRAFFIC COMPLAINTS AND 99% OF THE TIME. I THINK THE OFFICERS FOLLOW UP WITH THE RESIDENT. IF NOT, THE CAPTAIN WILL UM AS FAR AS STAFFING GOES, WE JUST HIRED A NEW ADMINISTER STINT, WHICH WAS STARTING SHE WAS STARTING 29TH. WE HIRED A NEW OFFICER, AND SHE WILL START ON THE 29TH AS WELL. WE HAVE ONE STILL IN THE QUEUE THAT WE'RE FINISHING UP HIS BACKGROUND. THEN WE HAVE TWO POSITIONS OPEN FROM FOR THIS BUDGET YEAR. I THINK ONE OF THOSE WILL BE FILLED IN APRIL. BECAUSE IT'S A HALF A POSITION BASICALLY. WAS THE OTHER THING.

YOU'RE ASKING ME. THAT WAS GOOD. THAT'S GOOD COUNSELORS ANYTHING FURTHER, THE CHIEF JUST ONE WERE MOST OF THE ARRESTS TAKING PLACE. WELL, THEY TAKE PLACE ALL OVER. WE ARE HIGHEST AREA OF ACTIVITY IS PROBABLY RACEWAYS. SMALL BLOCK ROAD APARTMENTS, HOTELS. A LOT OF CATALYTIC CONVERTER THEFTS WERE IN THE PURSUIT THE OTHER NIGHT. WITH SOME SUBJECTS. UM A LOT OF STARTING A LOT OF STOLEN VEHICLES RECOVERED STOLEN VEHICLES DOWN THAT AREA. AND I'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT WHEN WE GO TO OUR NEXT PRESENTATION AS WELL. BUT THAT'S PROBABLY OUR HIGHEST AS FAR AS UM AREAS UP IN THIS AREA HARVEST AS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT CALL VOLUME.

COMPARED TO SOME OF THE OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS AND I'M GOING TO A MEETING WITH THEIR BOARD ON THE 16TH TO RAISE THEIR RATES A LITTLE BIT. JUST TO KIND OF OFFSET IT FROM WHAT WERE THE

[00:20:04]

[2.F. Briefing - The Ridge at Northlake Home Owners Association Request for License Plate Readers]

WE'VE RECOVERED. 13 MAYBE UP TO 15 NOW STOLEN VEHICLES OR LICENSE PLATES. UM WE ASSISTED ROANOKE. UM, THEY DON'T HAVE LICENSE PLATE READS IN ROANOKE, BUT THEY DO HAVE ACCESS TO LICENSE PLATE READERS AND WHEN THEY WERE SEARCHING FOR SOME THEFT SUSPECTS, THEY PUT THEIR PLATE INTO THE FLOCK SYSTEM AND THEY SHOWED THAT IT HIT ON RACEWAY AND THEY WERE. THEY DROVE OUT THERE THAT ACTUALLY PART OF THE BEAUTY THEY WERE WANTED FOR MURDER IN OKLAHOMA.

SO THEY'RE IN OUR COMMUNITY BUT CAME FROM ANOTHER STATE. WE GET INFORMATION REGARDING A MISSING PERSON. UM THEY DROVE THROUGH. GOT HIT. WE FOUND A MASONIC MISSING PERSON WAS ACTUALLY TAKEN TO LOUISIANA. AND SO WE'RE ABLE TO AFFORD THAT INFORMATION TO LOUISIANA AND LET THEM UM MOVE FORWARD. THIRD INVESTIGATION BY SEVERAL SUSPECTS IN BURGLARIES,

[00:25:03]

OVERSIGHT IN PLACE. THE VINEYARD IS NECESSARILY ANY OF THE DATA. THE INFORMATION IS HELD FOR 30 DAYS ONCE THAT 30 DAYS IS UP. WE CAN'T ACCESS THAT ANYMORE. UNLESS IT COMES THROUGH AGAIN. I COMPLETED A LOT OF MONTHLY ON IT TO SEE WHAT THE OFFICERS ARE DOING. AS FAR AS WHAT THEY'RE RUNNING. WHY THEY'RE RUNNING IS THEY HAVE A LIST OF THINGS THAT PUT DOWN THERE. LIKE THE LET'S PUT ON THE OFFENSE AND THE CALL FOR SERVICE NUMBER OR THE INCIDENT NUMBER. THAT WAY, I CAN GO BACK AND SAY IS THIS LEGITIMATE COLUMN OR NOT? YOU KNOW, THEY SEE SOMEBODY IN THIS.

I JUST WANT TO CHECK IT OUT THAT PLAYED OUT SETS THAT COMES IN. THERE'S GOT TO BE A REASON WHY WE'RE DOING. UM AND IF THEY IF WE RUN A PLAY, THAT IS JUST LIKE, SAY. YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A BUDDY WHO'S GETTING DIVORCED AND SAY, HEY, CAN YOU RUN A PLATE FOR ME? WELL, THAT'S A FELONY.

IT'S A BREACH OF COMPUTER SECURITY BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN GIVEN ACCESS BY THE STATE FOR STATE PURPOSES AND FOR LOCAL PURPOSES TO RUN THIS PLACE, AND IF THEY DO THAT THEY CAN BE CHARGED WITH A FELONY. THESE ARE SOME OF THE NOTIFICATIONS THAT WE GET. AMBER ALERTS SUPERVISOR . LEASE PROTECTIVE INTEREST. CANADIAN RECORDS, UM, STOLEN VEHICLES SO MUCH SPACE AND YOU SEE, THE REST OF EVERYTHING WAS A CHECKMARK. WE'VE ALREADY HAD IN OUR WE'VE BEEN NOTIFIED ABOUT THOSE INCIDENTS COMING THROUGH A HARD TIME. SO THIS IS WHAT THE OFFICERS SEE WHEN WE GET A HIT? NO, IT'S NOT A B C. 123. THAT'S ACTUALLY COVERING UP THE LICENSE PLATE FOR THEIR PRIVACY. BUT YOU CAN SEE IT GIVES YOU THE DAY OF THE TIME. THE PLATE NUMBER WHEN IT CAME THROUGH THE SOURCES RENTED THE NATIONALS PRIME MINISTER SYSTEM AND IT'S GOT SO IT'S A WARRANT HIT GIVES A DESCRIPTION OF THE CAR. AND THE LOCATION OF WHERE IT WENT THROUGH, AND THAT'S IT. THAT'S ALL WE GET. IN THE AUTHOR HAS TO GO ACTUALLY RUN THE PLATE TO HIS IN CAR COMPUTER OR THROUGH DISPATCH TO GETTING RETURNS OFF OF THAT, AND THAT'S WHERE YOU GO BACK IF IT'S NOT LEGITIMATE.

RUN. THEN THAT'S WHEN THEY CAN BE CHARGED WITH THE CURRENT SO WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE INFORMATION? ONCE WE SEE THAT THEY GET NOTIFIED BY TEXT, EMAIL OR ON THE DASHBOARD THAT THEY HAVE PULLED UP ON THE COMPUTER? VERIFY THE LICENSE PLATE BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE LAST STATES ARE GRAINY OR TOO DARK, SO VERIFY THAT THAT'S THE CORRECT LICENSE PLATE WHEN WE GO LOOKING FOR THE VEHICLE. ONCE IT'S VERIFIED. WE SEARCH FOR THE VEHICLES, OKAY, WE CONTACT DISPATCH RUNNING THROUGH THEM. INITIATE CONTACT AND INVESTIGATE. VERIFY FROM STOLEN ONCE MISSING PERSONS, ETCETERA, THEN TAKE THE PROPER COURSE OF ACTION. AND I SAID, THESE ARE SOME OF THE APPREHENSIONS WE'VE HAD. I THINK WE RECOVERED. THREE STOLEN VEHICLES WITHIN TWO NIGHTS, ONE OF OUR LOCAL HOTELS IT SEEMS TO BE A HOT SPOT FOR PEOPLE COMING IN. MOVING FROM ONE CITY TO ANOTHER CITY. A LOT OF THE STOLEN VEHICLES WERE GETTING OR THE VEHICLES THAT WE'RE HAVING STOLEN FROM PEOPLE COMING FROM DALLAS OVER HERE. RIGHT OFF THE INTERSTATE. I THINK THE LAST FEW TIMES THAT WE'VE WE'VE HAD INCIDENTS THAT HAVE COME FROM DALLAS. UM SO WE'VE GOT WE GOT GOOD LEADS ON CATHOLIC CONVERTED SUSPECTS. UM OTHER BURGLARIES THAT HAPPENED IN THE AREA, STOLEN VEHICLES, THINGS LIKE THAT. UM I THINK LIKE YOU, SAID MAYOR. I LIKE WHAT? THE TECHNOLOGY. UM IF PEOPLE DON'T WANT THE NEIGHBORHOODS, THAT'S THEIR RIGHT. IT JUST HELPS US

[00:30:03]

AND ARRESTED HIM. WE WAITED FOR A WHILE. PROBABLY ABOUT 3 TO 4 HOURS. AND WE WERE STILL OUT THERE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, AND WE SAW THE OTHER SUSPECT LEAVING A CAR THAT JUST DIDN'T LOOK RIGHT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND WHEN WE WHEN HE LEFT, WE STOPPED HIM AND THAT WAS THE OTHER SUSPECT. SO WE END UP GETTING TWO BURGERS SUSPECT IF WE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD OFFICERS OUT THERE. AND CUT THOSE PEOPLE. THEY PROBABLY HAVE BEEN GONE, THAT WE WOULD HAVE AGAIN. NO CLUES NO LEADS TO FIND THEM. BUT THE LAST LEADER READERS WOULD GIVE US THAT EXTRA STEP THAT WE CAN GO. AT LEAST TRY TO DEFINE AND LOCATED. ALRIGHT BEFORE I OPEN UP TO THE COUNCIL TO DISCUSS OR ASK ANY QUESTIONS, STAFF. WHAT EXACTLY? THIS IS JUST A BRIEFING. SO WHAT IN THE FUTURE IN TERMS OF ACTION ITEMS OR DIRECTION ARE WE SUPPOSED TO PROVIDE THIS EVENING? WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? UM JUST WE CAN START WITH THE GENERAL DIRECTION WE CAN. WE CAN BRING BACK A FULL BLOWN POLICY ON HOW YOU WANT TO ADD THESE CAMERAS WE COULD MOVE FORWARD WITH ADDING CAMERAS AS NEIGHBORHOODS REQUEST THEM. I WOULD NEED TO LOOK AT THE BUDGET AND WE MAY COME BACK WITH A BUDGET AMENDMENT OR WE MAY BE ABLE TO FIND FUNDING WITHIN THE VARIOUS BUDGETS. UM, DEPENDING ON WE MOVED BETWEEN FUNDS, IT STILL MAY REQUIRE BUDGET AMENDMENT. BUT YOU KNOW YOU JUST TELL US HOW FAST YOU WANT TO GO ON THIS IF YOU WANT TO. TAKE A LITTLE MORE TIME TO DELIBERATE ON POLICY OR IF YOU'RE READY TO MOVE FORWARD. AND WE JUST HAVE TO ONCE. ONCE THIS OCCURS, WE WOULD ANTICIPATE OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS WOULD REQUEST THIS SO WE KIND OF. THAT KIND OF WE WOULD PROJECT WHAT WE THINK THE EXPENSES WOULD BE FOR ALL THE VARIOUS NEIGHBORHOODS AND COME UP WITH A PROGRAM ON HOW TO HOW TO FUND ALL THOSE EACH NEIGHBORHOOD IS GONNA BE UNIQUE . WITH THE NUMBER OF ENTRANCES. THE RIDGE IS GOING TO CHANGE PRETTY SOON AFTER. PHASE THREE IS FINISHED. THERE'S GOING TO BE AT LEAST TWO MORE ENTRANCES AT THAT TIME. OBVIOUSLY, AS YOU ADD LICENSE PLATE, YOU START. FILLING IN THE BORDERS BETWEEN THE NEIGHBORHOODS. AND SO YOU GET TO A POINT WHERE YOU'LL SUBTRACT THEM AS WELL. SO WE CAN YOU'D LIKE TO GO AND WE CAN WE'LL BRING BACK AN APPROPRIATE ITEM. AND THROUGH SINCE WE ALREADY HAVE A SYSTEM IN PLACE ALREADY THE VENDOR IF WE WANT TO ADD AS LONG AS NOT ON A STATE ROADWAY. WE JUST CALL HIM AND SAY WE NEED THREE MORE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD WILL COME OUT SET UP THE BEST LOCATIONS FOR THOSE I SUPPLY READERS, AND THAT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT. NOW, IN A STATE ROADWAY. WE HAVE TO GET APPROVED FROM DPS AND TEXT DOT RIGHT OF WAYS OF ALREADY GOT THAT PROCESS LINED OUT, SO I JUST HAD TO MAKE A FEW CALLS SOME PAPERWORK AND THAT'S DONE AS WELL. BUT I'D RATHER FOCUS ON JUST THE NEIGHBORHOODS OF YES, THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO DO. OKAY ALRIGHT , COUNSEL. I HAVE AT LEAST TWO SUBMISSIONS SO FAR FOR PUBLIC INPUT ON THIS TOPIC FROM RESIDENTS OF THE RIDGE. THERE MIGHT BE SOME OTHERS OUT THERE THAT WANT TO SPEAK ON THIS TOPIC TONIGHT. I CAN BRING THOSE FORWARD IN PUBLIC COMMENT. NOW THEY CAN HAVE THEIR THREE MINUTES NOW, IF YOU WANT TO HEAR FROM THEM BEFORE YOU TALK ABOUT THIS, OR I CAN HOLD THEM OFF UNTIL THE REGULAR PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION WHAT WOULD YOU PREFER TO DO? ALL RIGHT, SO LET'S TAKE A MINUTE AND WE'LL DO PUBLIC COMMENT FOR THIS TOPIC. AND IF YOU HAVEN'T SUBMITTED ONE, THEN YOU'RE WELCOME TO WAVE AT ME AND I'LL TAKE THOSE FROM THE FLOOR AS WELL. JUST PLEASE FILL OUT THE PAPERWORK AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME. I HAVE TO PUBLIC INPUT FORMS, SO I'VE GOT FIRST TONIGHT WILL BE JOSH LAWRENCE AND THEN SECOND I HAVE DURABLE LEAN, SO OUR POLICY IS THREE MINUTES FOR PUBLIC COMMENT, AND YOU CAN SPEAK ON THE TOPIC AND SHARE WHATEVER INFORMATION YOU WANT. BUT JOSH, GO AHEAD. COME FORWARD. AT 605 PM OPEN PUBLIC COMMENT FOR THIS TOPIC AND THEN WE'LL HAVE REGULAR PUBLIC COMMENT IN A FEW MINUTES FOR OTHER TOPICS. PERFECT THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL FOR HEARING US OUT. MY NAME IS JOSH LAWRENCE, RESIDENT OF THE RIDGE, OBVIOUSLY IN NEW YORK COMMUNITY HAVE BEEN THERE SINCE MAY OF 21. I COME FROM A STATE THAT I WON'T NAME FOR MY SAFETY, BUT I WAS 16 YEAR, UM, POLICE OFFICER LAST NINE YEARS OF MY CAREER. I SERVED AS A DETECTIVE, UM IN AN AGENCY THAT RAN 60,000 CALLS OF SERVICE PER YEAR AND I CAN'T BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW USEFUL THIS TECHNOLOGY IS SOME OF THE CRIMES THAT THE CHIEF TOUCHED ON TONIGHT THAT YOU'RE SEEING

[00:35:03]

ABSENT SOMETHING LIKE A LICENSE PLATE READER CAMERA LIKE THAT. YOU SAID YOU MIGHT GET SOME GRAINY VIDEO. THOSE CASES TO ME END UP IN THE INACTIVE NO FURTHER LEADS CATEGORY WHICH DOESN'T DO ANYTHING FOR YOUR COMMUNITY. SO AS YOU SAID, MAYOR, YOU LIKE TO SEE THE QUALITY OF SERVICE THAT YOUR COMMUNITIES ARE GETTING FROM YOUR POLICE DEPARTMENT. THAT TOOL IS A GAME CHANGER IN MAKING SURE THAT OUR NEIGHBORHOODS GET EXACTLY WHAT THEY NEED FROM A POLICE DEPARTMENT. UM OF COURSE, THERE ARE SOME THAT WILL BE FEARFUL OF PRIVACY, BUT I BELIEVE THE CHIEF ADDRESS THAT AND I KNOW WE'VE TALKED AS A COMMUNITY AND TRIED TO DISPEL CONCERNS PEOPLE MAY HAVE REGARDING PRIVACY OF THIS DATA SO AS A CITIZEN AND ONE OF THE PROBABLY FEW VOICES THAT ARE HERE. I JUST DIDN'T EMPLOY YOU TO, UH, YOU KNOW, TAKE THE OPINION OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS UNDER. UNDER CONSIDERATION FOR ADDING THESE TO OUR COMMUNITY BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. TRUE. EVENING. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU ALL MY NAME IS DREW BELENE LIVE AT THE RIDGE. I'M THE PRESIDENT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH COMMITTEE. UM SO JUST TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE SOCIAL ASPECT OF THE COMMUNITY BEHIND IT AS WELL AS EDUCATING THEM THROUGH THIS PROCESS. UM FIRST OFF, WE HAD A TRAINING WITH FLOCK, WHICH IS THE LICENSE PLATE READER CAMERA COMPANY THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH WENT THROUGH TRAINING TO FULLY UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT IT IS IN AND OUT. AFTER THAT, I HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH CAPTAIN COLEMAN AS WELL AS THE H O A MANAGER TO GO OVER WHAT WE CAN IMPLEMENT AND HOW WE WOULD LIKE TO DO IT.

AFTER THAT, THE RIDGE WE HAVE A FACEBOOK COMMUNITY PAGE IN WHICH THE INFORMATION WAS ALL SHARED WITH EVERYBODY TO DO THE RESEARCH DO THEIR OWN DIGGING TO PRESENT THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO PURSUE. UM AS WELL AS LEAVE IT OPEN FOR COMMENT RIGHT FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE CONCERNED FOR THEIR SAFETY OR JUST WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT IT . SO WE HAD THAT WE HAD AN OPEN DISCUSSION AT R A Q THREE, UH, TOWN HALL WITH THEIR DEVELOPER AND THE COMMUNITY. THAT LED TO DISCUSSIONS THERE, AS WELL AS ONE ON ONE DISCUSSIONS AS WELL AS CONVERSATIONS THROUGH DIFFERENT MEDIUMS TO REST ASSURED THOSE WHO ARE CONCERNED AS WELL AS HEAR OUT OTHER PEOPLE'S OPINIONS. UM THAT THREE DAYS TO REVIEW THE INFORMATION AND THEN VOTE WE HAD AN OVERWHELMING YES, OF 80% TO INSTALL THE LICENSE PLATE READER CAMERAS. UM WHICH IS WHAT WE WOULD SAY A BIG BIG AMOUNT. UM THAT IS ENOUGH TO INSTALL THEM AND WE HAVE HAD THOSE CRIMES AS THEY WERE MENTIONED VERY RECENTLY AND I THINK THAT'S HELPING PEOPLE GET MORE AND MORE ON BOARD RIGHT NOW. IT IS PETTY THEFT, RIGHT? UM BUT BEING RIGHT OFF 35. WE WANT TO STAY PETTY THEFT OR NOT OF ANY THEFT AT ALL RIGHT? YOU DON'T WANT ANYTHING CRAZIER THAN THAT. WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE. UM, YOU KNOW GOING OUT OF THEIR HOUSE AND TALKING TO THESE PEOPLE. WE WANT TO RELY ON THE POLICE AND THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT IS TO ALERT THE POLICE THE MOMENT THEY ENTER THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD NOW, IF THEY DID GET AWAY, AND IF THEY WEREN'T CAUGHT IF THEIR LICENSE PLATE WASN'T REGISTERED, IT WOULD THEN BE AFTER AND THEN WE CAN CATCH THEM SOMEWHERE ELSE AND HELP PEOPLE GET THEIR VALUABLE BELONGINGS BACK. UM WE'RE GONNA FALL EXTENSIVE OVERVIEW. UM WE'VE GIVEN FULL INFORMATION. THIS IS A BIG BROTHER WATCHING. THERE'S A VERY STRICT AUDIT SYSTEM. AS I KNOW, CHIEF SPOKE ABOUT THAT HAS ALL BEEN RELATED TO YOU, UM, THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. OVERALL THIS IS A VERY VALUABLE ASSET TO OUR COMMUNITY INTO THE POLICE FORCE . UM WE'RE GROWING TO MORE ENTRANCES WERE GROWING FAST. AND WITH THAT THERE'S CRIME, UNFORTUNATELY, AND WE WANT TO HELP OUR POLICE FORCE. UM DETER CRIME. WE WANT TO POLICE FORCE TO BE SAFE THEMSELVES AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT SITUATION THEY'RE WALKING INTO BEFORE THEY GET THERE. AND THIS IS A REALLY VALUABLE TOOL THAT I THINK CAN HELP THAT SO THERE YOU GO. THANK YOU FOR TIME. CAN YOU TELL ME BEFORE YOU GO? UM, HOW MANY PEOPLE DID YOU POLL 146? IS THAT HOUSEHOLDS OR INDIVIDUALS OR INDIVIDUALS? AND DO YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE THE LANGUAGE THAT YOU ASKED? YES WOULD YOU MIND FIRST? I WOULD LIKE LICENSE PLATE READER CAMERAS INSTALLED AT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ENTRY POINTS. YES, 116 NO 30. IS THERE ANY DIRECT FEEDBACK? UM, THAT MAYBE SOME OF

[00:40:10]

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AND I WANTED TO LEAVE IT OPEN BECAUSE I ONLY GOT TWO CARDS AND SINCE I MOVED PUBLIC COMMENT UP, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS? YOU JUST WAVE AT ME AND CAN COME UP AND HAVE YOUR THREE MINUTES NOW OR WE CAN. YOU CAN HOLD OFF. YOU GOT ANOTHER TOPIC FOR PUBLIC COMMENT AND FEW MINUTES OKAY, I'LL SEE ANYONE. ALRIGHT SO IT'S 6 11 WILL MOVE BACK TO THIS TOPIC. NOW THIS IS A BRIEFING, SO WE DON'T HAVE AN ACTION AS MR CORN SAID, BUT WE NEED TO KNOW NOW BASED ON THIS FEEDBACK. WHAT EXACTLY DO WE WANT TO DO AS FAR AS THIS CREATION OF THE POLICY NO MORE LIMITED USE, UM, FUNDING LOCATIONS. I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT . THERE'S AN AWFUL LOT HERE. WE JUST NEED TO DISCUSS AND SEE WHAT YOUR SENTIMENT IS AS FAR AS EXPANDING THE PROGRAM. SO YOU CAN CANCEL THE FOREST OPEN. OKAY UM, LOOKS LIKE THE NUMBERS THE CHIEF PUT OUT YOU'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT 12 TO $15,000 FOR THE BRIDGE. 4 TO 5 CAMERAS OR SO 2500 BUCKS A POP. LITTLE BIT. UM I'M ALL FOR SAFETY AND QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE RESIDENTS, BUT SEVERAL MEETINGS AGO. WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THIS SAFETY AND QUALITY OF LIFE CONCERNS FOR THE PEOPLE THAT BRIAN'S PLACE AND THAT WAS SHOT DOWN, AND THAT WOULDN'T HAVE COST THE TOWN ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR MAYBE SOME ADMINISTRATIVE COST. BUT NOW WE'RE LOOKING TO SPEND. 10 TO 15,000 FOR A DIFFERENT SUBDIVISION. AND THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS, HOW CAN WE DISREGARD THE NEEDS OF ONE SUBDIVISION AND ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF ANOTHER SUBDIVISION? THAT'S MY ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE WITH THIS. I'M ALL FOR SAFETY AND QUALITY OF LIFE. BUT NO. WHY ONE AND NOT THE OTHER. MIKE, CAN I ASK AS YOUR ARE, YOU KNOW TO THE TECHNOLOGY OR A NOTE TO THE FUNDING? HORRIBLE OKAY, UNDERSTOOD. ALRIGHT, OTHERS. TO ADDRESS THE PRIVACY CONCERNS.

I'VE ACTUALLY HAD TRAINING THROUGH POLICE ACADEMY. AND IT'S EXTREMELY. IT'S DRILLED INTO OFFICERS STRODE IN NAME, BUT IF ACCESS THE SYSTEMS THE YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T RUN A LICENSE PLATE FOR A BUDDY. YOU CAN'T DO THESE TYPES OF THINGS AND THE PENALTIES ARE SEVERE, TO SAY THE LEAST. UM AND THAT THAT GAVE ME A LOT OF PEACE OF MIND WHEN HEARING ABOUT THIS PROCESS AND HOW ITS AUDITED INTERNALLY WITH OUR POLICE FORCE, SO FOR THAT. I APPRECIATE THE DETAILS, CHIEF.

AND, UH, TALKING TO SOME RESIDENTS IN THE RAGE AND STUFF LIKE THAT. THIS I IMAGINE IF WE GO FORWARD WITH THE PROGRAM THAT WILL DEFINITELY GROW. THERE'S BEEN QUESTIONS ABOUT CAME FALLS IN THE APARTMENTS AND STUFF LIKE THAT ALREADY HAVE THESE, BUT I CAN SEE THIS GROWING INTO EVERY SUBDIVISION, POTENTIALLY REQUESTING IT. SO I THINK WE NEED TO IF WE MOVE AHEAD PLAN FOR THE BIG PICTURE, SO THAT PROGRAM OR PROPOSAL PROBABLY NEEDS TO INCLUDE THE PATH FORWARD. FOR COUNCIL'S DECISION , BUT GREAT PRESENTATION. THANK YOU BOTH FOR COMING OUT. THE MONEY PART WORRIES ME A BIT BECAUSE IT WILL PROBABLY EXPAND. WHY COULDN'T THE H O A C THAT NO NEIGHBORHOODS THEMSELVES PROVIDE FOR THIS MONEY. INSTEAD OF MAKING OTHER PARTS OF TOWN. PAY FOR IT. CAN YOU GO BACK TO THAT SLIDE WHERE IT SHOULD? HOW MANY CAMERAS IN EACH CITY? YES, YOU CAN JUMP. KIM YOUNG TO THE WITH CAMERAS PURSUIT. NINE IN TROPHY CLUB 72 4 WORTH, THAT'S THE WHOLE I MEMORIZED THEM. YES IT'S THE THERE YOU GO. SO 72 IN FORT WORTH WITH 350 SQUARE MILES. I

[00:45:04]

UM BUT THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS TO LOOK AT. NO DOUBT I WANT I WOULD LIKE TO SUPPORT IT WOULD LIKE TO DO IT, BUT I THINK WE NEED TO EVALUATE THAT THAT SPENDING AND JUST MAKE SURE THAT IT'S REASONABLE. I THINK IT'S A GOOD THING THAT MAY BE PARTNERS. IF YOU WOULD LIKE I COULD CONTACT THE VENDOR AND THEY CAN DO A COMPLETELY OUT OF WHAT WOULD TAKE TO COVER EVERY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD IN IN NORTH LAKES THAT WE HAVE A BETTER IDEA, LIKE A BULK. BULK, OKAY? I'D LIKE TO TOUCH BASE ON THAT FOR A SECOND, UM I'M ALL FOR IT. I THINK THE $2500 OVER THE COURSE OF THE LIFE OF THE CAMERAS AND INSTEAD THE MAINTENANCE IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH THEM, THE COMPANY COMES OUT AND REPAIRS THEM FREE OF CHARGE. THE SLIPPERY SLOPE IN MY OPINION IS IF YOU DON'T HAVE THEM. YOU DON'T HAVE SOMETHING TO ASSIST THE POLICE OFFICERS.

THEN YOU START HAVING TO HAVE MORE POLICE OFFICERS IN THOSE AREAS AND PAID OVERTIME WHEN YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT A FINANCIAL BURDEN IS OVER TIME OF POLICE OFFICERS, SO NOT ONLY THAT, BUT STRESSING THE DEPARTMENT ITSELF . SO I THINK THE LONG TERM BENEFITS FAR OUTWEIGHS THE INITIAL CAST. AND I DON'T WANT TO. I DON'T WANT TO GET OFF THE TRACK WHERE WE'RE WE'RE BUYING LICENSE PLATE READERS OR LEASING THEM TO REPLACE OFFICERS BECAUSE AS WE CONTINUE TO GET MORE LEADS. WE'RE GONNA NEED MORE PEOPLE TO INVESTIGATE THOSE CURRENTS AS WELL, TOO. BUT WOULD YOU CONSIDER A FORCE MULTIPLIER TO SOME DEGREE? DEFINITELY, DEFINITELY. SO MY TAKE ON IT IS I DON'T WANT TO SEE US TAKE THE TWO APART, AND PART OF IT IS BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A 10 CAMERA SYSTEM AND THEY ARE PROVING TO BE VERY VALUABLE. WE DO HAVE A CRIMINAL PROBLEM IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. UM HI. YOU KNOW OUR NEIGHBORHOODS OFF? I 35 THE CLOSER THEY ARE TO 35. WE SEE THIS STUFF. I MEAN, WE'VE SEEN MY DOORS HAVE BEEN OPENED NEEDED TO LOCK MY CAR AND ON OCCASION, BUT NOTHING WAS TAKEN AND LEAVE ANYTHING IN THERE. CHIEF IS A RENTAL CAR. IT WAS EMPTY. UM BUT THEY WENT, THEY GO DOWN OUR STREET AND STILL PACKAGES MULTIPLE TIMES. AND THEY'RE THEY'RE IN THERE AND OUT OF THERE IN MINUTES AND WE HAVE NO WAY TO CAUSE PEOPLE TO FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT THERE IS ANY METHODOLOGY NOW, EVEN WHEN WE KNOW WHO TOOK THE STUFF, IT'S MOST OF THESE CRIMES GO UNSOLVED . UM BUT THE IDEA IS DETERRENCE. IT'S NOT ABOUT BEING ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY GET THEM ALL. WE GET SOME, IT WARNS OFF THE REST. AND WE GOT A PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR TYPE OF CRIME, MAYBE A SOFT CRIME. BUT AS WE SAID, THE CADILLAC CONVERTERS HAVE GOTTEN CRAZY. I MEAN, I HEARD THE REPORT OF THE ONE YOU'RE CHASING DOWN 1 14 TIRES ON OUR CAR. THANK YOU TO OUR SISTER AGENCY FOR THAT. ASSIST UM BUT, UH, THIS THIS STUFF IS WAY OUT OF HAND WERE EXPOSED TO IT BASED ON OUR LOCATION. FROM A FINANCIAL STANDPOINT. THESE ARE A MASSIVE R O. I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE PRICE POINT. UM I AM MORE ABOUT WHO WANTS SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T. THAT'S MY KEY CONCERN. AND SO WE DID A. YOU KNOW A LIMITED DEPLOYMENT DOWN SOUTH BECAUSE THERE'S AN AWFUL LOT OF PEOPLE MOVING IN AND OUT THERE THAT CAN'T NECESSARILY SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES DOWN THERE, BUT SAFETY AND SECURITY AROUND OUR HOTELS AND THEN BY VIRTUE OF THAT OUR APARTMENTS, THE ONES THAT ARE ENGAGED IN PARTICULAR. WE NEED TO CONTROL THAT AREA. UM UP HERE . I THINK IT'S A CHOICE. I THINK EACH NEIGHBORHOOD HAS TO MAKE A

[00:50:03]

WE NEED TO PINCH IT OFF. AND SO ONE NEIGHBORHOOD OPS IN ANOTHER ONE BENEFITS FROM IT. SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US GO FORWARD WITH THIS. MY POLICY, AS I SAID EARLIER IN TALKING TO FOLKS BECAUSE I'M TALKING ABOUT AN AWFUL LOT OF CONVERSATIONS ON THIS HAS BEEN A LOT OF FOLKS WOULD LIKE TO SECURITY. A FEW FOLKS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT IT, AND THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME DISCUSSION. BUT WE HAVE AN AWFUL LOT OF PEOPLE IN THIS TOWN AND SO HAVING A GROUP DISCUSSION WITH 13 TO 15,000 PEOPLE, INCLUDING OUR AT J. ISN'T QUITE FEASIBLE. I WANTED TO BRING THIS HERE SO WE COULD HAVE AN OPEN DISCUSSION. FOLKS CAN DIAL INTO THE DISCUSSION AFTER THE FACT.

BUT AS FAR AS THE DEPLOYMENT AND I'M HAPPY TO FUND THAT, YOU KNOW, THROUGH GENERAL FUND, I THINK WE SHOULD. I THINK WE SHOULD GO AHEAD WITH THE RIDGES REQUESTS. I THINK THERE IS A PROPENSITY MAJORITY OF FOLKS HAVE SAID THAT THEY WANT IT. THE ISSUE IS REAL. AND I THINK WE CAN FUND THAT FROM THE TOWN. IF WE CAN FIND IT IN THE BUDGET, WHICH I DO BELIEVE WE CAN WE HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL BUDGET. IT IS ALLOCATED, BUT THERE ARE WAYS TO MOVE IT AROUND AND SEE WHAT PRIORITIES NEED TO BE FUNDED. UM AND IF NOT, WE CAN WE CAN LOOK TO THE BUDGET IN THE FUTURE, BUT I THINK WE'RE FUNDING 10 ALREADY , AND IT'S PROVIDING SECURITY FOR ALL OF US BY SECURING ONE END OF TOWN. UM AND THE APARTMENTS BY VIRTUE OF BENEFITING FROM THAT. THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY PAYING FOR THEIR SECURITY DOWN THERE AND WE HAVE THE CAMERAS. THESE GO ON PUBLIC STREETS. PUBLIC STREETS ARE OURS . SO I'D LIKE TO KEEP THIS CENTRALIZED. I DON'T WANT A BUNCH OF PATCHWORK SYSTEMS OUT THERE, BUT I THINK I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RESIDENTS OF EACH NEIGHBORHOOD HAVE THEIR OWN INTERNAL DISCUSSIONS. BRING IT TO THEIR H OAS. I WANT TO HEAR FROM THEIR BOARDS. I WANT TO HEAR FROM THEIR THEIR YOU KNOW THEIR COMMUNITY GROUPS AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE HAD A ROBUST ENOUGH DISCUSSION THAT THERE'S ENOUGH PEOPLE INVOLVED. THAT'S NOT JUST A COUPLE OF PEOPLE COMING TO US AND GIVING US ONE SIDE OF THE STORY, NOT THE WHOLE STORY. SO I PUT IT BACK ON GENTLEMEN THAT ARE HERE TO DO SOME LEGWORK AND YOU KNOW, 146 RESPONSES IS GOOD FOR THE RIDGE. THAT'S THAT'S A GOOD SAMPLE. THAT'S REPRESENTATIVE AND THAT'S GOOD. AND I'M GLAD YOU HAD THOSE DISCUSSIONS. SO I'M COMFORTABLE SAYING THEY'VE ASKED FOR IT, AND I THINK WE SHOULD GO FORWARD WITH IT AND A COUPLE OF SCENARIOS THAT I DIDN'T ADDRESS DURING THE FIRST PRESENTATION. IS, UM WE HAVE A LOT OF VISITORS THAT COME INTO THE NORTH SIXTH THEATER HOTELS. WE HAD A RASH OF CATALYTIC CONVERTER THEFTS ONE NIGHT WHERE THEY CAME IN, AND THEY CAN CUT A CATALYTIC CONVERTER OF CARD IN A MINUTE. I MEAN, THAT'S HOW FAST IT IS LESS THAN A MINUTE THEY CAN GET IN THERE AND START OFF AND THEY'RE GONE. ONE LADY HAD HEARD HER TOYOTA THERE AND SHE SHE COMES OUT THE MORNING KELLY CONVERSION GONE, SHE GOES AND GETS A RENTAL CAR BRINGS IT BACK NEXT NIGHT. THEY TAKE A MONTH A RENTAL CAR.

IN THE END, THEY'RE IN AND OUT SO FAST. WE CAN'T BE EVERYWHERE AT ONCE. THE OTHER THING IS I DID. WE'VE BEEN IN OPERATION FOR ALMOST A YEAR OF THE LICENSE PLATE READERS. THAT AND ON RACEWAY, WHICH IS HIGHER CRIME AREA IN THAT AREA. BECAUSE IT HAS MORE BUSINESSES ON IT. UM ARE REPORTS WERE RELATIVELY FLAT. FROM. YEAR TO YEAR, BUT OUR CALLS FOR SERVICE WENT DOWN 16. IN THAT TIME FRAME SINCE WE INSTALLED A LICENSE PLATE READERS, SO I THINK THAT'S A GOOD STATISTIC TO LOOK AT AS WELL. SO. ONE OTHER POINT FOR COUNCIL IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE VIDEOS OF THESE DOOR GRABBERS, OR WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL ME GOING HOUSE TO HOUSE TO HOUSE. A LOT OF US ARE LOW INSULATED FROM THAT LARGER LOTS. UM SO WE MAY NOT FEEL THAT THE SAME WAY THAT A LOT OF OUR RESIDENTS DO AND IN THE RIDGE AND FUTURE AND SQUARE THINGS LIKE THAT. UM, BECAUSE WE'RE NOT OPPORTUNISTIC. IT TAKES TOO LONG TO EVEN TRICK OR TREAT BETWEEN THESE HOUSES, LET

[00:55:02]

IT'S THAT HUGE IN ISSUE AT THIS POINT, BUT I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN SEEING WHAT THAT WHAT YOUR VENDOR WOULD ADVISE. THAT WOULD COVER THIS AREA JUST SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT WHAT INDIVIDUALS AFFECT WOULD BE OKAY? ALL RIGHT, MR GORDON. WE'VE ALL SPOKEN, DIFFERENT IDEAS. WHAT'S DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH TO TAKE AWAY SOME CONSENSUS? AND I BELIEVE SO I NEEDED A LITTLE BIT FURTHER DIRECTION. OBVIOUSLY WE KNOW THE COST FOR THE RIDGE. I THINK WE SHOULD ANTICIPATE OR YOU SHOULD ANTICIPATE THERE'LL BE OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS COMING IN. WE'LL GET WITH FLOCK AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO COVER EACH OF THOSE. BUT WE'LL COME BACK WITH. WE ALREADY HAVE THE NUMBER FOR THE RIDGE. BUT WE'LL COME BACK WITH THE NUMBER FOR THE ENTIRE TOWN BECAUSE THAT COULD BE OUR POTENTIAL BUDGET LIABILITY IF WE START DOWN THIS PATH, WHICH WHICH WE SHOULD ASSUME THAT THAT WOULD HAPPEN. AND THEN WE'LL BRING BACK SOME. SCENARIOS TO AS FOR LIKE YOU WERE SAYING WITH THE BUDGET AND YOU KNOW, ONCE WE GET TO THAT LEVEL, IT'S REALLY NEEDS TO BE A BUDGET AMENDMENTS WILL BRING FORWARD THAT SO IT WILL BE YOU KNOW WHAT IF SCENARIO, OBVIOUSLY WE DON'T USE ALL THE BUDGET. THAT'S FINE. WE'LL JUST BE UNDER BUDGET. BUT IS THAT SOUND LIKE A REASONABLE APPROACH FOR SOMETHING TO BRING BACK TO COUNCILOR? COMPLETE STUDY OF THE, UM. FOR LIABILITY OF THE CAMERAS IF IT WAS BUILT OUT. UM BUT GIVE EACH NEIGHBORHOOD IS OPPORTUNITY TO CHOOSE A BUDGET AMENDMENT THAT WOULD COVER THAT. AND IF WE GO UNDER BUDGET, UM THAT'S FINE.

BUT IF EVERYBODY PARTICIPATES WILL WERE COVERED, AND THE COUNCIL HAS SEEN AND APPROVED THAT BUDGET. I'M NOT SURE I ENLISTED JUST MEANS SPEAKING IN CASE SO IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN WHICH MAY HAVE SAID I'M NOT REALLY INTERESTED IN THE FULL FORM THAT COSTS BECAUSE I DON'T THINK WE'RE GONNA GO DOWN THAT PATH. THAT'S JUST MY GUT FEEL. THIS IS A NEIGHBORHOOD, THE NEIGHBORHOOD DISCUSSION. PUTTING A FULL NET IN PLACE IS SOMETHING THAT I DON'T SEE A LOT OF THESE CITIES REALLY GOING TO. THEY'RE REALLY TARGETING, SAYING THE FULL NET. I'M SAYING IF EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD PARTICIPATED, UM KIND OF THE FULL LIABILITY OF IT . TOOK CANYON FALLS COMES THEY NEED FOUR CON SQUARE COMES THEY NEED FOUR. UM WITH WORKING WITH FLOCK. HOW DO WE COVER EACH NEIGHBORHOOD? WE STILL CAN DO IT NEIGHBORHOOD BY NEIGHBORHOOD. BUT IF EVERYBODY PARTICIPATES, IT'S A CERTAIN AMOUNT COUNCIL NEEDS TO APPROVE THAT BUDGET AMOUNT. IF YOU KNOW, FIVE OF THIS, YOU KNOW. TWO OF THE SIX NEIGHBORHOODS THEN WE'RE UNDER BUDGET. WE'RE FINE, BUT WE NEED THAT BUDGET AUTHORITY IN CASE BUT IT'S STILL BEING THE NEIGHBORHOOD NEIGHBOR. IT'S NOT . IT'S NOT A TOTAL TOWN. I THINK WHAT I'M SAYING IS I I'M JUST COMFORTABLE TAKING THESE ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS AND HAVING TO BRING IN A BUDGET AMENDMENT BACK EACH TIME. OKAY? I THINK WHAT IS GETTING IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THE BIG PICTURE. I MEAN THE COST , AND I MEAN, WE CAN LOOK AT A MAP AND FIGURE THAT OUT. UM BUT I DON'T. I DON'T WANT TO GO DOWN THE PATH OF TRYING TO PROCURE, YOU KNOW $200,000 FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS OR EVEN PUTTING IT AS A LINE ITEM. WE'RE NOT. WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT UNLESS WE GET REQUESTS FOR IT, AND THEN IF WE GET ENOUGH REQUESTS FOR IT, WE AGGREGATED UP INTO A BUDGET PLAN. BUT I THINK AT THIS POINT IT'S JUST THIS IS A ONE OFF TO ME. BECAUSE I HAVEN'T HEARD THE OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS. THE OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS KNOW ABOUT THIS.

THERE'S BEEN DISCUSSIONS AND MANY OF THE BIG NEIGHBORHOODS AND THEY HAVEN'T GOT TOGETHER AND MADE A PLAN TO ACTUALLY TALK TO THEIR WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD ABOUT IT. THERE'S BEEN SUPPORT.

BUT THERE'S BEEN OPPOSITION AND NO ONE'S TAKING IT ON TO REALLY DRIVE IT FORWARD AND COME

[01:00:04]

OKAY? ALL RIGHT. IS THAT ENOUGH? MR CORN? THE WATER RATE CONSULTANTS HERE IF YOU'D LIKE

[2.C. Briefing - Proposed Water and Wastewater Rates Options]

WE DID A GREAT STUDY AND IT WAS THE FIRST TIME WE RECOMMENDED A RATE INCREASE IN 10 YEARS AND TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE CONTEXT. WHAT WAS HAPPENING THAT SUMMER WE WERE HAVING A WET SUMMER. SO TWO THIRDS OF THE REVENUE THAT YOU RECEIVE EVERY YEAR COMES FROM SUMMER MONTHS. WE HAVE A WET SUMMER WE WILL BURN THROUGH EVERY BIT OF RESERVES. WHEN WE ADJUSTED THOSE RATES. WE WERE ONE MONTH AWAY FROM BURNING THROUGH EVERY BIT OF RESERVES WE HAVE. IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT UTILITY FUNDS, THEY HAVE TO MAKE ITS AN ENTERPRISE. IT'S NOT THERE TO MAKE MONEY THERE TO BREAK EVEN. AND UM, WHEN YOU RUN OUT OF CASH ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IT CAN SEVERELY HURT YOUR CAPABILITIES MOVING FORWARD IF WE HAD TO BORROW MONEY TO USE FOR OUR UTILITY FUNDS, IT WOULD DEPLETE OUR FINANCIAL STANDING. IT WOULD BE VERY BAD. AND SO WHEN WE DID THIS RATE STUDY, IT CAME AT A TIME WHEN IT WAS VERY, VERY NEEDED AND WE NEEDED TO DO A BIG ADJUSTMENT. PART OF THAT INFLATION WAS HAPPENING. COSTS WERE GOOD, BUT FOR 10 YEARS WE NEVER ADJUSTED FOR WHOLESALE COST. YEAH AND THAT WAS DONE TO BENEFIT THE RESIDENTS AND AT THE TIME, BUT AFTER THAT, AFTER WE ADJUSTED RATES LAST TIME WE RECOMMEND DOING IT EVERY YEAR. SO LAST YEAR, I DIDN'T BRING ANYTHING ON UTILITY RATES BECAUSE MY FORECAST WAS STILL ON TRACK. WE WERE STILL GROWING AT A NORMAL RATE, AND IT WAS A FORECAST FOUR RATE BASED ON THE RATES THAT WE HAD AND SO DO YOU WANNA WE? WE GREW VERY, VERY, VERY QUICKLY. WE WERE ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING COMMUNITIES AND ALL OF OUR TEXAS AND IF YOU START READING THAT IT'S PROBABLY THE UNITED STATES WHEN YOU LOOK AT LIKE PERCENTAGE WISE, SO WITH RAMPANT GROWTH AND INFLATION, WE SAW 43% INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF ACCOUNTS SO 2000 NEW NEW ACCOUNTS, UTILITY ACCOUNTS WENT ONLINE AND BIOMETRICALLY OUR TOTAL VOLUMES WERE USING WENT UP 40% AND SO A LOT OF THE IDEA BEHIND THIS IS THAT GROWTH PACE FOR GROWTH. THAT'S THAT'S THE FIRST INTUITION AND THOUGHT THAT I THINK OF AS WE FORECAST THIS, THE RIGHT MY GROWTH WILL ALWAYS PAY FOR GROWTH. WELL. HE DOES WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE OTHER CHANGING FACTORS, AND SO ONE OF THOSE CHANGES IS WHOLESALE WERE ABLE TO EAT THE WHOLESALE INCREASES LAST YEAR, UM, BASED ON THE REVENUE MODEL THAT WE HAD BUT WHAT WE SAW THIS YEAR WAS SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. THERE'S NOT A PERCENTAGE INCREASE, THEREBY INTERVIEWING OUR WHOLESALE PLIER SUPPLIERS UNDER 10. THAT'S NEVER SOMETHING I'VE EVER SEEN. THERE WAS

[01:05:07]

WHAT WE SAW WAS A PEKING INCREASE OF UP TO 65. THIS MEANS IN BASED ON HOW OPPORTUNITY CHARGES US WHATEVER WE PEEK AT, WE PAY FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR. THAT IS THE WHOLESALE SUPPLIERS.

PREROGATIVE. THAT IS HOW WE WILL HAVE TO PAY. AND SO BECAUSE OF THOSE PEAK DEMANDS AND I COULDN'T HAVE TOLD YOU THAT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A SUMMER OR NEARLY 100 DAYS WITHOUT RAIN AND SEE ONE OF SOME OF THE WORST DROUGHT CONDITIONS THAT WE'VE SEEN IN NORTH TEXAS. WE'RE FOUNDATIONS WEREN'T QUESTION THOSE ARE NOT THINGS YOU CAN EASILY PROJECT. WE MADE ENOUGH MONEY TO RECOVER SOME OF THE INCREASE THAT WE DID INCREASING OUR OUR WHOLE LIKE, YOU KNOW, MILLION GALLONS PER DAY CONSUMPTION INCREASE WERE ABLE TO EAT THE CHANGES FROM THE PRIOR YEAR. WHAT WE ARE NOT ABLE TO EAT IS $1.6 MILLION OF CHANGES. IN THIS YEAR. THIS WHOLE INCREASE IS IN ONE YEAR. NO MATTER HOW MUCH I FORECAST, I CAN'T TELL YOU SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND SO THIS SPEAKING IS ONE OF THE LARGEST CAUSES OF THIS AND THIS HAPPENS WHEN EVERYBODY ON CERTAIN DAYS GOES IN WATERS THEIR LAWN THAT MASS CONSUMPTION. MAX DAY USAGE CAUSES US TO INCREASE THIS RATCHET, AND SO THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS AND WHEN EVERYONE'S TURNING ON THEIR LINES AND THEIR SPRINKLERS AT ONCE, AND AS SPEAKING THINGS AND SO THAT THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE WERE ABLE TO FORECAST. SO UM, THIS BRINGS US TO BORROW AT TODAY.

BASED ON OUR CURRENT REVENUE MODEL IN OUR CURRENT RATE STRUCTURE. UM BY THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR, WE WOULD BE $1.8 MILLION UNDER WHERE WE NEED TO BE ON TARGET REVENUES.

OPERATIONS AND PROBABLY JUST WHOLESALE COST. WE BROUGHT 1.6 UNDER THE DIFFERENCE BECAUSE COMES BECAUSE OF ADDITIONAL 100 PLUS $1000 THAT WE'RE TRYING TO PUT INTO RESERVES. WE'RE NOT TRYING TO BUILD AN EXORBITANT AMOUNT OF RESERVES WERE ACTUALLY JUST TRYING TO GET IT TO THREE MONTHS. THOSE THREE MONTHS WILL NOT LAST US IF WE HAVE ANOTHER WET SUMMER. WE WOULD NEED UP TO 75% OF RESERVES TO LAST US IF WE GOT ANOTHER CRAZY, WET SUMMER. SO I'M NOT TRYING TO PUSH US TO BUILD CASH OR TRYING TO PUT EXTRA MONEY PLACES AND TUCK IT AWAY FOR JUST A BAD DAY. WE'VE GOT TO GET TO A SUSTAINABLE PLACE AND THIS JUST MOVES US UP TO 30% IF NOT, WE WOULD DRAIN OUR RESERVES DOWN TO ABOUT 14. TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS AND WHERE THAT HURTS US IS, IF WE EVER NEED AN ISSUE FUTURE DEBT OUT OF THE UTILITY FUNDS AND IT NOT BE TAXED BACKED. EVENTUALLY WE WILL GET THERE WHERE THE UTILITY FUND WILL NEED TO ISSUE DEBT ON ITS OWN AND NOT BACKED BY OUR PROPERTY TAX DOLLARS. UM SO THAT'S THAT'S SOMETHING TO THINK OF. THE OTHER THING IS THE RAINY DAY. YOU HAVE TO THINK OF THE WET SUMMERS. AND IF WE EVER GET ONE OF THOSE IN CONSUMPTION DROPS THROUGH THE FLOOR, AND YOU'RE PAYING FOR 6.3 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY, BUT WE'RE PROBABLY USING ABOUT TWO MILLION GALLONS PER DAY. WE'RE STILL PAYING FOR THE 6.3. NO MATTER WHAT. AND THAT WILL BE THE YEAR THAT YOU'LL SEE THOSE RESERVES DROP OUT AND WILL BE IN REALLY BIG TROUBLE. SO I DON'T SAY THIS LIGHTLY BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A LIGHT SUBJECT. THIS IS COMING ABOUT BECAUSE OF CRAZY INFLATIONARY TIMES AND ALSO PEAK PERIOD WATERING. WE SAW DROUGHT THIS SUMMER. WE SAW PEOPLE GET SCARED ABOUT THEIR LOANS. I WAS RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMER. I GOT SCARED ABOUT MY LAWN AND MY FOUNDATION. I WAS WATERING AS MUCH AS I COULD, BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID OF PRACTICE IN MY YARD. EVERY ONE OF OUR RESIDENTS RESPONDED THE SAME WAY. IT JUST HAS A PRICE AND SO OUR CURRENT RATE STRUCTURE WILL NOT SUPPORT WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO PROVIDE FOR OPERATIONS. AND SO I'M GOING TO BRING FOR YOU FOR TO YOU A COUPLE MODELS THAT SHOW YOU DIFFERENT OPTIONS THAT YOU HAVE IN DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE CAN PRICE OUR UTILITIES SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A SUSTAINABLE FUNDING OPTIONS MOVING FORWARD. THIS IS OUR CURRENT RATE STRUCTURE. YOU GUYS KNOW THIS. IF YOUR RESIDENTIAL WATER CAN CONSTRUCTION WE HAVE A FOUR TIER RATE SYSTEM. SO YOU HAVE YOUR BASE, AND THEN YOU START WALKING IT UP FROM THERE, SO THERE'S FOUR DIFFERENT TIERS THAT YOU PAY ON YOUR PRICE PER 1000 GALLONS. UM WHENEVER WE WERE LOOKING AT THESE MODELS. WHAT WE LOOKED AT, UM, HEAVILY PORTION IS MAKING SURE THAT COMMERCIALS PAYING FOR THEIR OWN. THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT THE BEAR TASKED US WITH EARLY ON IN THIS IS ENSURING THAT COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS ARE PAYING FOR THEIR FAIR SHARE. UM I CAN SHOW YOU A WHOLE BUNCH OF DATA THAT SHOWING THIS IS MAINLY RESIDENTIAL DRIVEN, BUT THE COMMERCIAL SIDE HAS SOME DEBT AND WE'RE ENSURING AND RAISING BASED RATES IN THERE AND PROPOSING A BASE RATE INCREASE TO THEM AND SO THAT THEY COVER THAT DEBT PORTION THAT IS THEIRS. AND SO THE ONLY

[01:10:03]

OKAY. THE COUNCIL NEEDED TO HEAR THAT. FEEL FREE TO GO THROUGH ALL YOUR MATERIAL. I WON'T TAKE SHOTS LISTENING, INTERNALIZING THIS WITH THE REST OF THE COUNCIL. WE DO APPRECIATE THE FEEDBACK. IT MAKES US BETTER. AND THIS IS ULTIMATELY YOUR RATE. SO ANY PAUSE MOMENT OR THE HOOK NEEDS TO COME OUT, JOHN AND YOU WANT THE MIC BACK? THAT'S FINE, TOO. SO THE RATES THAT WERE SHOWN THE SCENARIOS AGAIN WE DID LOOK AT A 43 AND A TWO TIER YOU'LL SEE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE ON THE NEXT SLIDE THAT ACCOMPLISHES DIFFERENT THINGS. SO WHEN THE MAYOR MENTIONS PHILOSOPHY LAST TIME WE DID THIS IN 2020. WE LOOKED AT A BINGO CARD. I CALLED IT YOU HAD A NUMBER OF OBJECTIVES WHEN SETTING RATES. SOME OF THOSE COULD BE AFFORDABILITY. EASE OF UNDERSTANDING SIMPLICITY, RIGHT? ADDITIONALLY YOU COULD HAVE CONSERVATION PRICE, SIGNALING A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT ONE COULD CONSIDER. UM SO WHEN I SAY THAT PRICES CAN CHANGE BEHAVIOR AND WE LOOK AT PRICE STRUCTURES. THESE RATE STRUCTURES COULD CHANGE BEHAVIOR. THEY ALSO CHANGED THE WAY THAT YOU COLLECT YOUR REVENUE AND ULTIMATELY WHO PAYS AND HOW MUCH RIGHT SO I DON'T TAKE IT LIGHTLY THAT THESE ARE JUST NUMBERS THAT MEET THE SAME END. WHEN WE TALK PHILOSOPHY SCENARIO ONE IS CONTINUING THE STANDARD PATH, RIGHT? UH YOU HAVE 2000 GALLONS INCLUDED IN YOUR MINIMUM, AND THAT'S PLAYERS, NOT ON UM. SO YOU SEE THE ZERO FOR THE FIRST TIER AND WE START CHARGING FOR 80. SOMEONE'S ON IT. THANK YOU FOR 80 FOR THAT NEXT YEAR INSTEAD OF FOUR, AND THEN IT GOES UP IN INCREMENTS ABOVE THAT . SO YOU SEE THAT THE STRUCTURE JUST MOVES UP. THAT BASE CHARGE GOES UP TO $6, AND IT'S SORT OF NO REAL STRUCTURAL CHANGE, BUT WE JUST INCREASED THINGS. SCENARIO TWO YOU'LL SEE THAT WE DROPPED THE INCLUDED OR FREE WATER FROM THE BASE VOLUME. SO WHERE WE FORMALLY INCLUDED 2000 GALLONS IN THE MINIMUM, WE NO LONGER WILL DO THAT, BECAUSE EVERY 1000 GALLONS THAT'S BUILT TO YOU BEST PRACTICES TO NOT INCLUDE WATER IN THE MINIMUM, AND SO THAT'S ONE OF THE TRIGGERS. WE PULLED DOING SO WE WERE ABLE TO KEEP THE MINIMUM IN 25. SO THE MINIMUM DIDN'T HAVE TO GO UP. BUT YOU AND THIS RATE DESIGN WILL PAY PER UNIT AND SO WE EFFECTIVELY COMBINED 0 TO 15,000. IF THAT MAKES SENSE. AND SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THAT BANDED TOGETHER THERE. SO THAT'S ACTUALLY TRUE OF SCENARIO TWO AND SCENARIO THREE. THE NUANCES YOU SEE A SCENARIO THREE COLLAPSES, 15 AND UP. VERSUS THE 15 TO 30 WITH ONE TIER RATE AND THE 30 AND ABOVE IT YET ANOTHER TIER RATE. PROPOSED TO OUR RATES PRETTY SIMILAR. THE ONLY MAJOR CHANGE HERE IS WE CAN HOLD THE MINIMUM CHARGE AND START BUILDING FOR THE 1ST 2000 GALLONS UNDER SCENARIOS TWO AND THREE. ALTERNATELY IF WE KEEP THE SAME STRUCTURE OUR UNIT RATE GOES FROM 7 TO 8 50 UNDER SCENARIO ONE SO WITHOUT READING EVERY NUMBER ON THESE CHARTS. THAT'S WHAT THESE SCENARIOS ACCOMPLISHED. THAT'S WHY WE CREATED THEM. UM ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SCENARIOS THEMSELVES? WHY WE EVEN TALK ABOUT CHANGING THE DESIGN OR THE LIKE. GREAT, WELL HEARING NONE. I'LL MOVE ON. UM SO THE PROPOSAL WATER RATES, UM ARE HERE FOR THE COMMERCIAL INSIGHT CUSTOMERS, SO THAT'S SOMETHING JOHN MENTIONED WAS ONE OF OUR FOCUS ITEMS SPECIFIC TO THE CAPITAL COST THAT THE CITY OR THE TOWN RATHER HAS INCURRED.

UM WE WANTED TO CAPTURE MORE OF THAT FIXED. PAST WITH OUR FIXED REVENUE FROM MINIMUM CHARGE, SO

[01:15:06]

I DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE EACH OF THEM. UH TOP OF MIND. I COULD GO DOWN THE LIST AND IDENTIFY THOSE WITH SIMILAR WATER SOURCES. UM BUT I DO NOT KNOW THAT. OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, SO I DO APOLOGIZE. I KNOW JOHN HAD LOOKED AT A COUPLE CERTAINLY HIGHLAND VILLAGE IS NOTABLE GIVEN THEIR RELATIVE STRONG STANDING HERE. UM BUT THEY DO HAVE A LOT OF GROUNDWATER AVAILABILITY. AS YOU KNOW THE GROUNDWATER. IF IT'S YOURS, IT'S EASY. YOU PUMP IT. THAT'S A PRETTY SMALL ELECTRIC COST. AND THEN THERE'S SOME CHEMICAL THAT YOU WOULD ADD, BUT THAT'S

[01:20:01]

YOU KNOW, THE HEAVIEST USER SHOULD BE PAYING THE MOST AMOUNT IN MY MIND FOR THAT. ONE OF THE GREAT OPTIONS THAT, UM, WE'D LIKE YOU IF YOU GUYS WOULD BLOW US. CONSIDER IS OUR TIER STRUCTURE IS 0 TO 19,015 30 AND THEN 30. PLUS, WE CAN STRUCTURE THIS AROUND THE PERCENTAGE OF OUR USERS. SO IF YOU'RE IN THE, YOU KNOW LOWEST, 25% PUTS YOU IN A TIER BRACKETS. NEXT 50% LIVE INTO YOUR BRACKET AND TRY TO STRUCTURE THIS AROUND OUR USERS. THAT IS ACTUALLY ONE OF OUR RECOMMENDATIONS WE COME WITH IS LIKE THE NEXT TIME WHEN WE PRESENT YOU SCENARIOS TO READJUST THESE TEAR BRACKETS AROUND THAT SO THAT THE LOWER END USERS FEEL LESS OF THE PRESSURE. IT'S MORE OF A PROGRESSIVE SYSTEM SO IF YOU'RE USING MORE WATER AND YOU'RE PUSHING OR PEAK DAYS, THEN YOU'RE GOING TO PAY MORE OF THAT. AND SO THAT'S THAT'S A PROGRESSIVE TIER STRUCTURE SO THAT YOU'RE CAPTURING MORE OF A COST OF SERVICE. AND THAT WAS THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING IN MY OPINION IS THAT WOULD AFFECT BEHAVIOR? THAT'S I FEEL LIKE PEOPLE DON'T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY. WHEN WE SAY HEY, WE NEED CONSERVATIVE NEED CONSERVE AND EVERYBODY'S OUT THERE. WATERING WATERING THE ROADS AND YOU KNOW THAT REALLY NEEDS IT TOO. SO THANK YOU. WHEN I LOOKED OTHER OTHERS THAT WANT TO WEIGH IN. SO I'LL SPEAK MY MIND. I'VE I'VE EXHAUSTED THEIR STAFFS PATIENTS ON A COUPLE OF THESE, BUT I HAD YOU KNOW, NUMBERS ARE NUMBERS AND SO I ONLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT PHILOSOPHIES. AND THEN YOU TRANSLATE THOSE INTO SCENARIOS WHICH YOU ALREADY HAVE HERE. BUT I WANT TO GO BACK OVER THE ONES THAT MATTER TO ME BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE ARE ACCOMPLISHED. SO THE FIRST TWO WE TALKED ABOUT SELF SUSTAINING SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE SELF SUSTAINING. UM THAT'S THAT'S IRONCLAD. FOR US. IT DOES NEED TO BE A BALANCED BUDGET WE NEED . WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THAT. UM IT MATTERS TO ME THAT THERE'S FAIRNESS IN THE ALLOCATIONS AND THE ALLOCATIONS I'M CONCERNED ABOUT IS NOT AN EXHAUSTIVE STUDY THAT ALLOCATES EVERY DOLLAR AND SENT TO THE PLACE THAT NEEDS TO GO BECAUSE EVERYBODY HAS VARIABLE USE. IT'S JUST NOT POSSIBLE TO DO THAT. WHEN I SAY FAIRNESS AND ALLOCATIONS WE HAVE TWO DIFFERENT SOURCES OF WATER, AND THEY ARE DIFFERENT PRICE POINTS. UM THEY DO HAVE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT IN TERMS OF ITS ITS SCALE AND HOW IT'S ALLOCATED ACROSS THOSE AREAS. THE DISTANCE FACTORS. WE HAVE A HIGH CONCENTRATION OF COMMERCIAL AND APARTMENTS. THERE'S SOME, YOU KNOW, COMPACTNESS THAT HELPS US WITH DISTANCE. BUT THE PRICE POINTS ARE DIFFERENT DOWN THERE AND THE WATER TOWER DOWN. THERE WAS SUBSTANTIALLY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE ONE UP HERE. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S SOME, YOU KNOW, A AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF THIS IS ALLOCATING THE MONEY FOR THE PRICE STRUCTURES TO THE USERS. AND I MEAN BY THAT IS COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL. THAT ONE WAS IMPORTANT TO ME TO MAKE SURE IS IT COMMERCIAL CAPACITY

[01:25:02]

EVEN IF THERE UNDESIRABLE. UM, IT MATTERS THAT THEY CAN TRACE IT BACK TO THEIR USAGE. THAT'S CRITICALLY IMPORTANT FROM A CUSTOMER SERVICE STANDPOINT, BECAUSE IF IT CAN'T BE EXPLAINED, YOU'RE GETTING A PHONE CALL IN THE BACK OFFICE. AND IT'S GONNA THEY'RE GONNA HEAR ABOUT, UM, I GET THOSE PHONE CALLS TO AND I WANT TO BE ABLE TO POINT TO AND SAY IT'S VERY EASY FOR ME TO CALCULATE A SIMPLE RATE AND GIVE THEM CONFIDENCE. THAT IT'S EITHER MEASURED WRONG OR THEY'RE USING IT WRONG. ONE OF THE TWO AND AT 99% OF THE TIME IT'S USAGE AND WE CAN GET TO THAT POINT BECAUSE EVERY CONVERSATION FOLLOWS THE SAME ARC ALL THE WAY TO THE MOMENT WHEN THEY REALIZE THAT YES, IT IS MY USAGE I LEFT, YOU KNOW, I RESET THE THING OR TURNED ON. YOU KNOW TOO MANY, TOO MANY ZONES FOR TOO LONG, AND I LEFT IT. I DIDN'T REALIZE I WAS OR I'VE GOT A LEAK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. WE HAVE TO GET TO THAT CONVERSATION SO THEY CAN ADJUST THAT THEY'RE IN CONTROL OF THEIR BILLS. THAT'S THE KEY USERS WANT TO BE IN CONTROL. THEY GET A BIG BILL. THEY NEED TO REACT TO IT. THEY NEED TO HAVE IMMEDIATE, YOU KNOW, SOLUTIONS TO GO FORWARD WITH IT. I LIKE SIMPLICITY SO THAT THERE'S TRANSPARENCY.

COMPARATIVE IS IMPORTANT. WHEREAS OUR PLACEMENT IN THE MARKET SO I DON'T WANT TO. I DON'T WANT TO DO THE MATH TO MAKE IT SO PERFECT AND HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S DISTURBINGLY DIFFERENT. YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T HAVE $100 BASE CHARGE AND ONE PENNY WATER. UM, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO BE RECOGNIZABLE FOR HOW WE DO OUR RATES, SO IT'S GOT TO STAY AND IN PROPORTION TO EVERYBODY ELSE, BUT THAT'S NOT NEARLY AS IMPORTANT AS IT IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS FAIRNESS IN THE SYSTEM. AND FINALLY ON THE FIXED VARIABLE COMPONENT. AS FAR AS CONSTRUCTING SOME OF THESE IT MATTERS TO ME THAT OUR MARKUP ON VARIABLE DOESN'T SUBSIDIZE THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS PAID THROUGH THE BASE. I BELIEVE VERY STRONGLY THAT ACCESS TO WATER HAS A COST ASSOCIATED WITH IT. THAT FIXED COST AND THAT'S WHY I HAVE, YOU KNOW, FOCUSED ON THE LOWER END ON THE BASE BECAUSE WE HAVE SUBSTANTIAL LARGE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT PROVIDES CAPACITY IT DOESN'T PROVIDE. THE WATER PROVIDES THE CAPACITY FOR IT. YOUR ACCESS TO CAPACITY OF WATER OR YOUR FIRE HYDRANTS. MATTER A LOT. THERE'S VALUE IN THAT FOR YOUR PROPERTY. THERE'S VALUE AND SAFETY AND EVERYBODY WHO HAS A WATER CONNECTION BENEFITS FROM THAT IT NEEDS TO PAY FOR THAT. WHETHER THEY USE 1000 GALLONS 100,000 GALLONS. NOW, OBVIOUSLY. SIGNIFICANT USERS USERS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF CAPACITY AND PEKING, WHICH THAT'S WHY I ASKED SO HARSHLY THAT YOU DIVE INTO THESE NUMBERS AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU WERE TELLING ME EXACTLY THE SOURCE OF THIS INCREASE. AND SO THE PRESENTATION HE DID VERY GOOD. I DO TRUST THOSE NUMBERS NOW, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE NEED SHOWS UP IN THE RATES. UM I'D LIKE TO MAKE A POINT AND JUST ASK QUESTION HERE. NOW YOU'VE GOT A COUPLE OF SCENARIOS HERE, AND THEY SHOW 12 AND THREE KIND OF OSCILLATING THROUGHOUT THE FACT THE MATTER IS THAT ALL THREE RAISE THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY. IS THAT CORRECT? REMIND US SOME ROUNDING. YES, SIR. YES SO THE POINT IS THAT ACROSS THE WHOLE PORTFOLIO, THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY IS BEING RAISED. THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT FOR AN INDIVIDUAL USER REMEMBER, AN INDIVIDUAL USER IS NOT THAT PARTICULAR SCENARIO, 2000 GALLONS MIGHT BE THEIR WINTER AVERAGE WINTER USE, BUT IN THE SUMMER, SOMEONE WHO'S USING TWO MIGHT BE USING FIVE OR 10 OR 20 OR 30. EVERYBODY CHANGES EVERY MONTH, SO THERE IS NO PROFILE HERE. THAT'S JUST AT A POINT IN TIME. SO DON'T GET HUNG UP ON ANY INDIVIDUAL THAT WERE, YOU KNOW, MAKING MORE TO THE LOWER USER. LOWER USER USES A WHOLE DIFFERENT VARIATION OF USE OVER TIME. SO UM, I THINK YOU GOT PRETTY CLOSE TO THE MARK ON THIS. UM I AM. I AM COMFORTABLE . AS JOHN SAID WITH SOME TEARING, THAT IS THAT HELPS US WITH THE PEKING PEKING BEING THE PROBLEM. THEREFORE THE PEKING NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. UM BUT THE MULTI TIER FACTOR DOESN'T ALLOW YOU TO TRACE BACK TO YOUR BILL, SO I PREFER TO SEE SOMETHING LIKE 95 5. 90 AND 10, WHERE YOU HIT THE 10TH PERCENTILE OR THE TOP 10 PERCENTILE IF YOU HIT THAT RATE, AND YOU'RE USING THAT MUCH WATER CANTLY AT THAT POINT, THEN IT'S EASY TO STILL TRACE BACK 90% OF THE TIME. YOU CAN SEE THAT MY NUMBERS ARE SIMPLE. I'VE GOT A FIXED COSTS AND VARIABLE COST. I CAN DO MY MATH. UM, SO SINCE SPEAKING IS A PROBLEM, AND IT DID CHANGE SO DRAMATICALLY. THERE DOES NEED TO BE A DIRECT ADDRESS TO THAT PROBLEM, BUT THE AMOUNT OF DEBT IN THIS SYSTEM THAT'S BEING ADDED, BECAUSE OF ALL THE CAPACITY NEEDS SUBSTANTIAL AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY IS SHARING THE BURDEN OF THAT BECAUSE THAT CAPACITY SERVES US ALL. SO I KNOW I WENT THROUGH ALL THAT WITH YOU GUYS ON PHONE CALLS, AND I APPRECIATE YOU GETTING TO THIS POINT. WE GOT JUST ABOUT WHERE WE NEED TO BE. SO I APPRECIATE THAT. I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE OF THESE I WOULD GO WITH. AT THIS POINT. WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT IT SOME MORE. BUT I THINK YOU GAVE US THE ANSWERS.

[01:30:02]

IS DOES THIS PROPOSAL THAT YOU'RE DOING THIS DOCUMENTARY HERE? IS THIS INCREASING THE PERCENTAGE OF RESERVES OR IT'S JUST HOLDING IT STEADY. JUST TRYING TO HOLD IT STEADY. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, THEN YOU ALREADY I DON'T NEED AN EXTRA RAM. BECAUSE JUST FROM PHILOSOPHY STANDPOINT, IF WE WERE TALKING ABOUT INCREASING THE RESERVES UP TO OUR IDEAL STATE WOULD RATHER SEE THAT IN AN INCREMENT RATCHET FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS AND ADD YOUR EXTRA MONTH EACH YEAR FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, RATHER THAN HIT EVERYBODY HARD AT ONE TIME. IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT FAIR IN THAT REGARD IT AS PILOT CASH AND APPLY THE PAIN. IF WE HAVE TO COVER THE COSTS OF WATER, AND THAT'S ONE THING BUT ADDING PAIN BECAUSE WE WANT TO BE MORE COMFORTABLE. WELL THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY. SO IF YOU'RE HOLDING THE PERCENTAGE SOLID, THEN I'M GOOD. YES, SIR. OKAY? SO YES, MUCH MORE. SO HOW MUCH MORE FEEDBACK DO YOU NEED ON RATE STRUCTURES TO BE ABLE TO CRAFT SOMETHING FOR US? I THINK WE'VE GOT QUITE A BIT OF INFORMATION AGAIN. DO YOU WANT MORE SCENARIOS. JUST A FEW. LET ME ASK YOU THIS WAY. SO ONE OF THE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS RECOMMENDED TO US IS ON MINIMUM, THE MINIMUM 0 TO 2003 GALLONS. WHERE WAS IT? YOUR RECOMMENDATION? IS THAT YOUR JOINT RECOMMENDATION THAT THAT'S NOT A BEST PRACTICE POLICY. CORRECT YEAH, GIVING AWAY WATER , INCLUDING YOUR BASE RATE IS NOT THE BEST POLICY JUST LIKE YOU STATED. THE FIXED RATE IS EXCESS. AND IN CAPITAL, THE VARIABLE IS WHAT WE'RE PAYING FOR THE WHOLESALE PROVIDERS AND WE PAY. FOR FIVE GALLONS. WE PAY FOR FIVE MILLION GALLONS. 25 50 COVER THE FIXED COST PORTION OF OUR SYSTEM. CLOSE ENOUGH BALLPARK. NO, NOT EVEN CLOSE. JUST WITH EVERY UTILITY,

[01:35:05]

IT GIVES US A LITTLE BIT MORE A LITTLE BIT MORE RELIEF ON THE RATES. AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE HAVE OVERWHELMINGLY SAID . EVEN IF THEY'RE NOT EXPLICIT ABOUT THAT STATEMENT. THEY WANT THEIR BILLS TO BE LOWER IN THE SUMMER AND WELL, IF WE HAVE TO COLLECT THE SAME AMOUNT OF REVENUE, THEN LET'S LET'S SHIFT SOME OF IT. SO GIVE US A COUPLE OPTIONS A RANGE OF BASES HERE.

IN SOME CLEAN INCREMENT, PLEASE NOT 21 45 GIVE US SOMETHING THAT'S JUST CLEAN AND TIDY. AND THEN CAN I ASK THE COUNCIL? CAN WE COME TO A DECISION ON THE MILL MINIMUM FREE WATER? ARE YOU IN OR OUT ON THAT SO WE CAN SIMPLIFY ONE VARIABLE FROM THIS DISCUSSION THINGS LIKE $8.80.

YES. WELL I MEAN, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET IT FROM SOMEWHERE ANYWAY. SO THAT AS A PHILOSOPHY DO YOU WANT FREE WATER OR NO? IT'S A PHILOSOPHY. I THINK WE SHOULD GET RID OF IT. WE HAD THE WAY THIS LAST TIME, AND I THINK WE SAW THE WRITING ON THE WALL COMING HERE. BUT YES, I IF IT'S NOT GOOD PRACTICE IN THE INDUSTRY. WE PROBABLY SHOULD BE DOING IT. ALRIGHT SO FEEDBACK AND HIS MEN SAID WE CAN DO A VERY SMALL FIRST INCREMENT AND HAVE A RATE TO THAT. BUT IT WOULD GET CLOSE OR NOT EXACTLY MIMIC IT. BUT IT WOULD. IT WOULD GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A PROGRESSIVE RATE STRUCTURE. SO A COUPLE SCENARIOS HAVE DIFFERENT MINIMUMS. AND A COUPLE OF SCENARIOS ON THE TEARING. LET'S KEEP IT TO THOSE GENERAL TWO VARIABLES AND GIVE US SOME BEST PRACTICES HELP US ALIGN TO OR COMPARATOR. I PULLED 15 CITIES AND MODELED IT OUT FROM ZERO AND 50,000 GALLONS TO FIGURE OUT WHERE WE WERE OPTIMIZED. I'M NOT GOING TO TRY TO SHOW YOU WHERE I'D LIKE TO BE ON THAT MODEL. JUST GIVE US THE SCENARIOS AND OUR MODEL IT MYSELF AND FIGURE OUT IF I LIKE HIM OR NOT LATER, BUT I THINK IF YOU JUST FOCUS ON THOSE TWO VARIABLES WE CAN GET TO SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DIGEST. AND THAT'S WHERE I WANT TO BE IS. I DID JUST DOUBLE CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT DOES THIS REALLY MEAN SO THAT WE CAN GET SOME FEEDBACK NEXT TIME? AND FIND OUT WHERE WE ARE. UNLESS THEY'RE ONLY COMING OUT HAVING THIS IS WHAT I'VE LEARNED THROUGH TWO YEARS OF PLAYING WITH THIS IS THE MORE SIMPLISTIC YOU MAKE YOUR MODEL LESS COMPETITIVE IN THE MARKET. IT IS SO THE MORE SIMPLISTIC YOU PUT PRICING, THE MORE YOU'RE ROUNDING UP TWO NUMBERS IN THE LESS COMPETITIVE YOU ARE. SO ANYTIME YOU KEEP A ROUND NUMBER, YOU'RE SACRIFICING THAT SENSE THAT YOU COULD THAT WOULD MAKE YOU MORE COMPETITIVE WHEN COMPARING YOURSELF REGIONALLY. SO I VALUE SIMPLICITY, JUST LIKE YOU DO MARRIAGE. JUST IT'S THE SACRIFICE OF THAT. COMBINING TWO PIECES SO I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. YOU'RE NOT NECESSARILY DISAGREEING WITH ME. WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS IF WE'RE ROUNDING OFF TO, LIKE, FIVE BUCKS AND SIX BUCKS, YES. I UNDERSTAND THAT THAT SHAVES THEM OFF. BUT SIMPLICITY TO ME MEANS 0 50,000 GALLONS IS 4 25. OKAY THAT'S THAT'S A SIMPLE RATE STRUCTURE, THE TEARING THAT YOU WANT. THAT'S A DIFFERENT DISCUSSION, WHICH IS WHY WE NEED SOME DIFFERENT OPTIONS WHEN YOU GET INTO FOUR AND FIVE AND SIX DIFFERENT TIERS. YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE. YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE IN AN INCREMENT WISE, AND SO I CAN'T REALLY PLAN FOR IT WHEN I'M THINKING ABOUT YOU KNOW WHAT I'M USING? YOU CAN USE INCREMENTS OF 10 CENTS AND GET US THERE AND DIAL US INTO THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE NEED TO RECOVER. THAT'S FINE. BUT JUST DON'T DON'T MAKE IT 10 TEARS.

TEARS NOT NECESSARILY GOT IT, OKAY. AWESOME. ALL RIGHT. DID WE DID WE DRAIN THIS ONE? DID I DREAM THIS ONE? GOOD PUN JOKE? YEAH ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. EVERYBODY APPRECIATE YOU LETTING US WORK THROUGH THAT. ALL RIGHT. WE GOT ONE MORE BRIEFING. WE'RE STILL

[2.G. Briefing - Christmas at the Commons Update]

[01:40:02]

[01:45:05]

THIS IS THE FIRE TRUCK THAT WILL BE IN THE REAR AND THEY'LL BE PARKED IN THE COMMENTS AS WELL.

AND THEY'LL COME IN WITH THEIR LIGHTS, FLASHING. UM THEIR HORNS. THEY'LL ALSO PLAYED CHRISTMAS MUSIC FROM THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS THE CHOIR US TELLING YOU ABOUT BEEN WORKING WITH EVAN RAMOS, WHO IS THE DIRECTOR OF HIS CHOIR. HE'S THEY ARE VERY EXCITED TO BE COMING TO THIS EVENT. AND SO THAT'S ACTUALLY WANT TO DROP THEIR ALBUM COVER IN. THAT'S THEIR ALBUM COVER OF THEIR MOST RECENT ALBUM. THIS IS THE 17 MEMBER CHOIR. THIS IS FROM AN EVENT THAT THEY DID I THINK JUST THIS PAST FALL JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO. AND SO LOGISTICALLY WE DO HAVE TO ADA PORTA POTTIES. UM THEY DO HAVE LED LIGHTS, FLUSHABLE TOILETS, HAND THINKS SANITIZER.

AND SO THERE ARE FOUR OF THEM. ALSO TOWN HALL WILL BE OPEN. THE LOBBY WILL BE OPEN FOR THE RESTROOM. PD LOBBY IS ALSO OPEN FOR USE OF A RESTROOM. REGARDING THE CONSTRUCTION I DID MEET WITH. OH, YES, AND THE CONTRACTOR YESTERDAY JUST TO GET AN UPDATE ON THAT. I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT THAT, BUT THEY'VE ACTUALLY GOT THE UTILITY INSTALLED AND THEY'RE COVERING THEM UP. NOW THEY'RE ACTUALLY GOING BACK OVER WITH THE DIRT AND THE GRADING OUT THERE, SO IT'S LOOKING REALLY GOOD. UM THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE ALL OF THE PERIMETER.

PARKING SPACES POURED AND THEY THINK THEY MIGHT HAVE THE PAD POURED. BUT OF COURSE, THAT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO US . WE JUST NEED THAT SITE SECURED . AND SO IF SOME OF YOU HAVE SEEN OUT THERE WHILE THEY'RE WORKING ON THE UTILITIES, THEY'VE HAD CONSTRUCTION, ORANGE CONSTRUCTION FENCING ALL AROUND THAT, AND SO THAT'S WHAT THEY PLAN TO PUT AROUND IT. THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE ANY OF THEIR CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS. THAT ARE RIGHT NOW PARKED BY THEIR, UM, CONSTRUCTION VEHICLE THAT'S OUT THERE. THAT'S KIND OF A LONG 407 . THEY'RE GOING TO PUT EVERYTHING ON THE SITE. SO THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE TO PAD WILL BE THERE, BUT FOR SURE THE PARKING SPACES WILL BE THERE. IT WILL BE GRADED AND THEY WILL HAVE IT SECURED WITH CONSTRUCTION FENCING. SO WE'LL CONTINUE TO MEET WITH THEM REGULARLY. BUT WE DID JUST MEET WITH THEM YESTERDAY. THEY FEEL REALLY CONFIDENT ABOUT THAT. SO THE PARKING ON THE AT THE PLAZA.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A PEDESTRIAN ONLY KIND OF WALKING AREA FOR JUST THE STREETS THAT ARE AROUND THE PLAZA. WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE ANY VEHICULAR AND PEDESTRIAN ISSUES, SO IT'S GOING TO BE CLOSED BECAUSE WHEN THE PARADE COMES IN, IT WILL CIRCLE THE PLAZA. THE FIRE TRUCK WILL PEEL OFF THE MONSTER TRUCK WILL PEEL OFF THE TRAIN WILL AND THEN SANTA WILL PARK IN THE LAST VEHICLE TO PARK WILL BE THE PD VEHICLE. SO WE JUST WANT THIS TO BE A LOCKABLE AREA WHERE PEOPLE CAN GO TO ALL OF THE BOOTHS. GET SOMETHING TO EAT. ACTUALLY BELLA ITALIA IS GOING TO BE ABOUT BILL ITALIAN RESTAURANTS GOING TO OPEN THAT NIGHT FROM 5 TO 10. THEY'RE GOING TO BE EVEN FROM 5 TO 10. YES UM, I HEARD FROM TEQUILA RANCH LAST NIGHT. AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY THEY'RE NOT OPEN YET, BUT THEY'RE GOING TO SET UP. A BOOTH AREA RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR RESTAURANT KIND OF HAVE A SEATING AREA AND THAT KIND OF THING, SO THEY'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT COMING TO LET PEOPLE KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THEY'RE LOCATED KIND OF A BRIEF TASTE OF THEIR FOOD BEFORE THEY OPEN. SO WE WANT TO KEEP THAT A VERY SAFE, WALKABLE AREA. WE DO HAVE 778 SPACES AND PROBABLY NEED TO TAKE THAT DOWN ABOUT THREE OR FOUR BECAUSE I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU IN A MINUTE. PART OF IT'S GOING TO BE USED PROBABLY ABOUT THREE OR FOUR MOTHERS. MORE OF THOSE SPACES WILL BE TAKEN BY THE SHUTTLE THAT'S GOING TO HAVE A SHUTTLE LOCATION IN THE COMMONS. NORTH TEXAS CHURCH OF CHRIST, JUST DOWN THE STREET. HAS 225 CONCRETE PARKING SPACES, AND THAT'S ACTUALLY WHERE OUR SHUTTLE IS GOING TO BRING PEOPLE IF WE HAVE OVERFLOW, PARKING THAT THEY CAN PARK DOWN THERE AND TAKE THE SHUTTLE INTO THE COMMONS AND ANY TIME DURING THE EVENING ON A 5 TO 7 MINUTE LOOP. THAT SHUTTLE WILL BE GOING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE CHURCH AND THE COMMONS. SO THIS IS THE MAP. THE FIRST FIRST LEFT HAND MAP HERE. AS YOU AND SECURITY AREA OF THE CONSTRUCTION AREA. IT DOES SHOW YOU WHERE, UM THE PARADE WILL BE COMING IN. I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE A POINTER HERE OR NOT, BUT PARADE WILL BE COMING IN RIGHT? WE SEE THE TEMPORARY CLOSURE SO THANK YOU, MR RIGHT UP. THERE IS A TEMPORARY CLOSURE AND SO THAT'S GOING TO BE THERE UNTIL THE PARADE PASSES THROUGH THERE. AND THEN THAT CLOSURE THAT WILL GO AWAY SO THAT PEOPLE CAN PARK IN THAT AREA THERE AFTER THE PARADE HAS GONE THROUGH THE PARADE WILL TRAVEL DOWN. THANK YOU, MR AROUND THERE. THE FIRE TRUCK LEAVES A PARADE SITE. THE MONSTER TRUCK LEAVES COMES FURTHER ON UP AROUND. IT KEEPS GOING THE TRAIN TO PULL OFF. AND YOU'LL SEE SANDOVAL PARK RIGHT

[01:50:06]

JUST GOING TO SWING OPEN THEIR DOORS HAVE MUSIC HAVE LIGHTS HAVE SOME SIDEWALK RETAIL. SOME OF THEM ARE STAYING IN THEIR SHOPS BECAUSE THEY'RE ALREADY FACING THE PLAZA. THE REST OF THEM ARE COMING OUT TO THE PLAZA. I DO WANT TO SAY THAT ONE THING THAT HAS HAPPENED IS THAT SOME OF THE ONES THAT ARE OPENED YET OR ARE PARTICIPATING. THE HIVE HAS A BIRTH KIDS HAS A BOOTH. TEQUILA RANCH HAS A BOOTH . I JUST TALKED TO SIMPLIFIED POOLS TODAY. THEY WANT TO HAVE A BOOTH. SO PART OF IT IS THAT WE WANT TO PROMOTE THE ROLLING PIN BAKERY. FROTHY COFFEE, HOW IT WORKS, YOGA. ALL OF THEM WANT TO COME IN AND BE A PART OF THIS BECAUSE THEY WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT THEY'RE COMING. THEY'RE OPENING IN DECEMBER. THEY'RE OPENING IN JANUARY. OFFERING COUPONS, GIVEAWAYS. WHATEVER PROMOTION THEY WANT TO DO TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY AND WHERE THEY'RE LOCATED, SO THAT'S BEEN VERY, VERY FAVORABLE. F 45 IS ANOTHER ONE. THAT'S GOING TO HAVE A BOOTH AND SO THEY'RE OPENING SOON. UM YOU CAN SEE THE SHUTTLE ROUTE. WE'VE GOT THE CHURCH MARK THERE AND AGAIN, THERE'S 225 CONCRETE SPACES. THERE'S A VERY LARGE GRAVEL LOT THERE. AND UP THERE UNDER THE CANOPY IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH IS WHERE THE SHUTTLE WILL PARK. AND LEAVE THEIR EVERY 5 TO 7 MINUTES STARTING AROUND FIVE OR 5 15 JUST DEPENDING IF ANYBODY IS THERE. AT THAT POINT, WE ARE HAVING ALL VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF PARKED DOWN THERE SO THAT WE DON'T TAKE UP ANY OF THE SPACE IN THE COMMENTS AND WE'LL TAKE THE SHUTTLE DOWN TO THE COMMONS. THEN YOU'LL SEE JUST GOING DOWN FOR US SEVEN TURNING ON CLEVELAND, GIBBS AND THE OTHER SHUTTLE LOCATION IN THE COMMONS IS WHERE THE VEGGIES UM ART IS GOING TO BE LOCATED IN THE FUTURE, WHICH IS RIGHT BEHIND THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES BUILDING SO THE SHUTTLE WILL BE THERE. UM, WHICH IS REALLY CONVENIENT FOR LIKE THE CHOIR AND ALL OF THOSE THAT ARE IN THE ELVES AND EVERYONE THAT ARE GOING TO PARK DOWN AT THE CHURCH BECAUSE WHEN THEY GET OFF THE SHUTTLE, THAT'S THE BEGINNING. THAT'S WHERE THE PARADE ROUTE IS STARTING TO, UM THE KIND OF STAGE THERE BESIDE THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES BUILDING. I THINK YOU'VE SEEN THIS MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT I JUST WANT TO GIVE KUDOS TO JENNIFER, WHO'S A WONDERFUL GRAPHIC ARTIST AND HAS DONE A REALLY A LOT OF GOOD WORK. YOU ALWAYS SEE THESE BACKED THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER BOYER. ONE IS AT HIS SHOP, BUT THEY'RE ALL OVER THE WINDOWS DOWNTOWN HERE. POST NET DID DONATE THESE TO US, AND SO YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THESE THERE?

UM AND THEY MAY BEGIN AT 55 15 SOMEWHERE IN THERE WHENEVER THEY REALIZE THAT THEY HAVE ENOUGH VOLUNTEERS, SOMEONE WHO NEEDS TO BE TRANSPORTED UP TO THE COMMENTS WILL BEGIN THAT THE 5 45 IS WHEN WE'RE GOING TO START DOING THAT PARADE LINEUP THAT I MENTIONED TO YOU A LITTLE EARLIER. AND THEN THE EVENT BEGINS. UM TOWN MANAGER

[01:55:01]

UM THAT TYPE OF THING, BE SURE AND JUST REALIZE THAT THEY'RE PARKED DOWN AT THE CHURCH. THAT THE SHUTTLE IS ONLY HERE TILL NINE O'CLOCK, BUT THAT'S GOING TO BEGIN. THEY CAN START LEAVING AT THAT TIME. EIGHT OCLOCK THE EVENTS OVER VENDORS AREN'T SUPPOSED TO TEAR DOWN UNTIL EIGHT O'CLOCK. AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE VOLUNTEERS THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE NOT LITTERING THE COMMONS. AND WE'LL HAVE VOLUNTEERS STAYING AFTER TO CLEAN UP THE COMMONS. WE DO HAVE SIX EXTRA TRASH CONTAINERS THAT WASTE CONNECTIONS HAS GIVEN US FOR THE EVENING TO PUT OUT AND I THINK THAT'S ABOUT IT. WE DO HAVE THE CHIEF HAS, UM SAID THAT FIVE OFFICERS WILL BE LOCATED WILL BE ALLOCATED OR DESIGNATED FOR THE EVENING TO BE THERE, JUST FOR WHATEVER REASON, WE MIGHT NEED THEM THERE AND, UM LET'S SEE.

WE'RE DOING PRETTY WELL IN VOLUNTEERS. WE DO HAVE A CONSENT ITEM ON YOUR AGENDA IF YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THAT IS CONSENT. ITEM LETTER I AND WHAT THIS IS FOR AND EXPLAIN THIS VERY BRIEFLY. IT STATES FOR SPECIAL EVENTS, TEMPORARY USES OR SPECIAL EVENTS THAT ARE HELD ON PUBLIC PROPERTY AND ARE UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE TOWN SHOULD NOT REQUIRE SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT . SO THE INTENT OF THE ORDINANCE WAS FOR THAT ONE. THE TOWN HOLDS A SPECIAL EVENT THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO APPLY. FOR A PERMIT TO OUR OWN CITY AND PROVIDE OUR OWN PERMIT. BUT THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A GLITCH IN THE LANGUAGE PROBABLY NEEDS TO BE, UM, TWEAK LATER BECAUSE WE THE TOWN DO HAVE CONTROL OF THIS EVENT. WE ARE THE HOSTS. BUT IT'S NOT ON PUBLIC PROPERTY. IT'S ON PRIVATE PROPERTY, SO BECAUSE OF THAT, WE DON'T FIT QUITE INTO THIS. BUT WE ARE ALLOWED BY RICHARD THIS MEMO TO ASK FOR A WAIVER OF THIS REQUIREMENT SO THAT WE'RE NOT APPLYING TO OURSELVES TO GIVE OURSELVES A PERMIT. SO THAT'S WHAT THE CONSENT ITEMIZE ABOUT. IT'S JUST PROVIDING THAT WAIVER SO WE DON'T HAVE TO APPLY FOR SPECIAL EVENTS PERMIT. AND YOU HAVE THAT IN FRONT OF YOU IN A FEW MINUTES ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, SO CURRENTLY WE CONTINUE TO PROMOTE THE EVENT ON FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM AND THROUGH VARIOUS FACEBOOK PAGES. I MENTIONED THE BANNERS, THE POSTERS, WORD OF MOUTH. OUR VENDORS ARE ACTUALLY PUTTING THE WORD OUT. WE'VE ACTUALLY GOTTEN VENDORS FROM OTHER VENDORS, WHICH IS REALLY NICE. I WOULD LIKE TO COMPLIMENT PECAN SQUARE AND HARVEST BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN PROMOTING OUR EVENT AND PUTTING OUR INFORMATION OUT ON THEIR WEBSITE AND THEIR FACEBOOK PAGES ARE SO WE APPRECIATE THEM, UM IT'S BEEN REALLY BUSY ACCEPTING AND REVIEWING VENDOR APPLICATIONS. SO FAR, ALL OF OUR VENDORS ARE INSURED, WHICH WE WANTED. AND SO IT'S BEEN A LOT OF KIND OF WORKING WITH VENDORS ON HOW TO DO THAT. AND UM, HOW TO MAKE THAT WORK, SO A LOT OF REVIEW GOING ON THERE. WORKING WITH THE MARKET VENDORS JUST FINALLY GOT SANTA'S INFORMATION ALL IN AND DONE TODAY AND THE SHUTTLE INFORMATION THINGS COMING IN YESTERDAY, SO IT'S REALLY ALL KIND OF COMING IN QUICKLY.

[3. PUBLIC INPUT]

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL . THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS REAL QUICKLY. IS THERE ANY WAY THAT THE CDC COULD FUND SOME OF THE LICENSE PLATE READERS? THINKING THAT MIGHT BE COMPUTED CONSIDERED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT . OR IS THERE SOME SORT OF A POLICE GRANT PROGRAM WHERE THOSE THINGS COULD BE PURCHASED? FOLLOWING UP ON THE THEME OF CRIME DURING THIS MEETING. WE HAVE A NUMBER OF TRESPASSERS ON OUR FAMILY PROPERTY ON FM 407 THESE PEOPLE TRESPASS WALK ON OUR PROPERTY MESSED WITH OUR CATTLE, STEAL OUR PERSONAL PROPERTY, DUMP TRASH AND LEAVE THEIR BEER BOTTLES AND CANS ALONG WITH HOUSEHOLD GARBAGE FOR US TO CLEAN UP. THEY BROKE THE GLASS BOTTLES AND GLASS CUTS ARE COWS HUBS. WE'VE HAD SEVERAL COWS VIRTUALLY SEVERED THEIR HOOVES BY BROKEN BEER BOTTLE ON OUR PROPERTY. IMAGINE IF YOU CUT YOUR FOOT OFF AT YOUR ANKLE. THAT'S HOW OUR COWS HAVE FELT. UM WE DON'T DRINK ALCOHOL PERIOD, SO IT'S NOT OURS. ON ONE PARTICULAR CALL ON SEPTEMBER 28 2022, MY SISTER CALLED THE POLICE. WE LATER OBTAINED THE BODY CAM VIDEO OFFICER ADAMS GOT OUT OF HIS CAR AND SEEMED MAD AT MY SISTER FOR THE CALL. HE DID NOT ASSESS THE SITUATION AS HE HAD JUST ARRIVED AND ALLEGEDLY BARKED AT MY SISTER. STRANGELY THE 1ST 12 SECONDS OF THE VIDEO HAS NO AUDIO. I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT NO ONE WANTED US TO HAVE RECORDS OF OFFICER ADAMS TREATMENT OF MY SISTER. HERE ARE A COUPLE OF QUOTES THAT YOU CAN VERIFY BY VIEWING THE BODY CAM VIDEO YOURSELVES. AFTER THE MUTED PORTION, OFFICER ADAM SAYS TO MY SISTER. IF YOU GIVE THESE GUYS A HARD TIME WHEN THEY'RE IN A PLACE THEY'RE LEGALLY ALLOWED TO BE. I'M TELLING YOU THAT YOU WILL BE ARRESTED FOR HARASSING HUNTERS AND FISHERS, END QUOTE. HE LATER TELLS THE ALLEGED PERP. QUOTE THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM . SHE CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT TO DO OR WHAT NOT TO DO. DID SHE GIVE YOU A HARD TIME? ALRIGHT, THAT'S CARLA HARDIMAN. SO SHE WAS GIVING YOU GUYS A HARD TIME ALMOST AS IF END QUOTE.

APOLOGIZE ALMOST AS IF HE WAS PROVIDING A NARRATIVE FOR THE ALLEGED PERPS. THEN THE ALLEGED PERP ASKS WHERE HE CAN PARK AN OFFICER ADAMS TELLS HIM QUOTE YOU MAY BE ABLE TO PARK FURTHER DOWN THERE WHERE THERE ARE NO SIGNS. END QUOTE. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD BY THE HEAD OF TEXT DOT THAT IT'S ILLEGAL TO PARK ANYWHERE IN THE TEXT DOT RIGHT OF WAY. SO I'M WONDERING WHAT OFFICER ADAMS IS GIVING THIS INCORRECT INFORMATION. UPON RECEIVING INFORMATION RESPONSIVE TO MY PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUESTS. THE RESPONSE READS REGARDING OFFICER ADAMS AND I QUOTE INFORMATION IS ACCEPTED FROM REQUIRED PUBLIC DISCLOSURE UNDER SECTION 552.102. IF IT IS INFORMATION IN A PERSONNEL FILE. THE DISCLOSURE OF WHICH WOULD CONSTITUTE A CLEARLY UNWARRANTED

[02:05:06]

[02:10:01]

THIS IS CALLING THE PUBLIC HEARING ONLY THEN THE ACTION IS ONLY THE ANNEXATION IN DECEMBER . 20TH CORRECT, SO THERE'S NOTHING ELSE BEING CHANGED ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AT THIS TIME IS CORRECT. OKAY, THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? ALRIGHT HAVE A MOTION BY THE MAYOR PRETEND MONTINI TO HAVE A SECOND. HAVE A SECOND PIE COUNSELOR, BOYER. ALL RIGHT. IF THERE'S ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION CAST YOUR VOTES. THANK YOU. ITEM IN RESOLUTION

[5.M. Consider Resolution 22-63, approving the City of Fort Worth Wholesale Water Agreement Amendment for provision of additional capacity and assignment of infrastructure, and authorizing the Town Manager to execute the amended agreement with the City of Fort Worth ]

MIRRORS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING. JUST AS A WAY, BACKGROUND FIRST. AGREEMENT WITH WATER SERVICE WAS BACK IN 97. UPDATE IN 2010. THIS IS TO GET TO US. FROM. 1.63 M DD 28.63 MG , WHICH WILL BE OUR AS OUR ENGINEERS HAVE SAID, ARE FULL BUILD OUT. UM THINK OF THE PAST COUNCIL MEMBER SESSIONS ASKED ME HOW MUCH ARE WE GOING TO HAVE UP IN THE NORTH? JUST TO GIVE US GIVE YOU A KIND OF A MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE. IT COULD BE OVER 18 MG D NORTH PRESSURE PLANES, SO 8.63 SEEMS LIKE A LOT BUT FOR FULL INDUSTRIAL AREA ARE RESIDENTIAL AREA OF NORTH WILL BE OVER TWICE THAT AMOUNT. SO JUST. THAT SAID A WHILE BACK, AND I HAVE THAT ANSWER ANALYSIS.

SORRY, TOOK A WHILE. UM THIS IS , UM AS WE DISCUSSED. REALLY OUR LAST OPPORTUNITY TO OVERSIZE THE LINE TO GET US THIS CAPACITY. AND, UM. IF WE DON'T DO IT NOW, WE'D HAVE TO PARALLEL THE LINES AND FINDING EASEMENTS AND JUST RE RETRACE OLD STEPS. UM. SO UM, WE'RE GONNA OVER STAND OVERSIZED THESE LINES WERE GOING TO PAY A BUY IN FOR ADDITIONAL CAPACITY. DISAGREEMENT ALLOWS US TO DO IT IN TWO PHASES, WHICH WAS IMPORTANT FOR OUR CASH FLOW. PHASE ONE WILL BE TWO MG D THAT WILL ENABLE US TO GET MOST OF THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT WE HAVE PLANNED. IN OUR ABOVE THE TEXAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY. AND, UM, PHASE TWO IS OUR SECOND POINT OF DELIVERY, UM AND WILL NOT HAVE A INPUT PARTICIPATION FROM FROM FORT WORTH. SO YOU'VE SEEN THIS MAN BEFORE, AS WELL.

WATER LINES A THROUGH F. WILL GET US THAT. TWO ADDITIONAL M G D TWO M ONE, WHICH IS OVER ON 35. UM ACTUALLY, IT'LL GIVE US THE FULL. SEVEN, BUT WE ONLY CAN GET AN EXTRA TWO OUT OF METER ONE AND THEN PHASE TWO WILL BE TO GET METER NUMBER TWO AND, UM , BLIND G TO CONNECT US TO THAT.

NOW. WHEN WE DO MEET HER TO. WE'RE GOING TO NEED AN AIR GAP, SO WE'RE GOING TO NEED A GROUND STORAGE TANK AND POTENTIAL IN PUMPING CAPACITY THERE. SO THAT'S THAT'S A BIGGER STEP. WE ARE WE ALREADY HAVE THAT DOWN SOUTH WITH THE MOST RECENT PROJECT DOWN THERE ARE ELEVATED STORAGE TANK ON 1 14 MILLION GALLONS GROUND STORAGE TANK SOUTH OF 1 14. TRUE WHILE YOU'RE ON THAT SLIDE WASN'T FACED TOO LIKE MAYBE I'M NOT REMEMBERING CORRECTLY, BUT WASN'T THERE WHEN WE FIRST TALKED ABOUT THIS, LIKE SEVEN OR EIGHT MILLION GALLONS OF PHASE TWO. DID WE REDUCE THAT SOME? BECAUSE WE DIDN'T ACTUALLY NEED THAT CAPACITY, OR AM I JUST MISTAKEN? IT WILL. YOU KNOW, IT'S WE'RE AT 1.63 PHASE. ONE GETS US TWO MORE SO THAT GETS US 3.63. PHASE TWO GIVES US ANOTHER FIVE. SO IT'S ALWAYS BEEN AN ADDITIONAL 72 IN TWO PHASES TO OUR CURRENT 1.63 SO ALTOGETHER AT BUILD OUT. THIS WILL BE THE DEMAND IN THE SOUTHERN PRESSURE PLANE WILL BE 8.63 MILLION

[02:15:01]

ALRIGHT CONTINUE, PLEASE. ALL RIGHT, AND THEN AND THEN PHASE TWO AGAIN MUCH, MUCH HIGHER PRICE BECAUSE WE'VE GOT TO BUILD ALL THAT INFRASTRUCTURE. UM FOR THE AIRCRAFT PUMP STATION UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK. SO UM , THIS IS THE AGREEMENT THAT ALLOWS ALL THIS TO HAPPEN. UM AND PHASE ONE WILL BE SHARED. THE COST WILL BE SHARED. UM IT WILL GET US THE CAPACITY AND THE MAYOR SAID WILL BUY ALL OUR CAPACITY AND WE CAN DO PAYMENT. WE HAVE THE FUNDING FOR IT NOW, BUT WE WILL ANALYZE THAT. AND, UH WE STILL WITH THE APPROVAL OF THIS AGREEMENT, WE STILL HAVE THAT ABILITY TO PAY THAT. SEVEN MILLION CAPACITY. SO WE WILL. WE WILL ANALYZE THAT BEFORE WE BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD. COUNSELORS. QUESTIONS FOR MR CORN. ALRIGHT THEN WE GOT SOME DECISIONS TO MAKE. WITH EMOTION ON THE SIDE OF IT. THANK YOU, MR THORNTON. THANK YOU, MR BARTON.

ARE WE OPEN FOR MOTIONS. NOT SAYING ANYTHING.

WE HAVEN'T HAD THE MOTION SCREEN IT SAYS VOTE IDOL. YOU'RE SAYING THE SAME THING. OKAY MOVE DOWN.

THAT SAYS, WELL, ALL RIGHT, I'LL MAKE THE MOTIONS THERE A SECOND. COUNCILOR MORE SECONDS, ALRIGHT COUNSELORS. IF THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, YOU MAY VOTE.

UNANIMOUS. THANK YOU. DRINK SOME WATER. WE NEED TO SELL IT. RIGHT? WHERE'S MY. ALRIGHT

[5.N. Consider Resolution 22-64, approving and authorizing the Town Manager to negotiate and execute an agreement for Comprehensive Plan services with Halff Associates in an amount not to exceed $200,000]

[02:20:05]

SO WE DID ISSUE THIS REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS RFP FOR SHORT. AND TO ADVERTISE FOR COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING SERVICES TO PERFORM THIS UPDATE. WE DID RECEIVE FOUR PROPOSALS. FROM THESE FIRMS MENTIONED ACTUALLY, CUSHING TERRIL IS ENGINEERING FIRM AS WELL. UM. ALL VERY QUALITY PROPOSALS. UM. WE USED A COMMITTEE TO REVIEW THESE PROPOSALS COMMITTEE HAD COUNCIL REPRESENTATION WITH COUNCILMAN KICKER PNG REPRESENTATION WITH COMMISSIONER OF LAWRENCE AND STAFF REPRESENTATION FOR THOSE WHO WOULD BE INVOLVED IN THE DAY TO DAY OF THE PROJECT. SO THE.

THIS IS EVALUATION CRITERIA THAT WAS OUTLINED IN THE RFP THAT WE REVIEWED THE PROPOSALS BASED ON EVERYTHING FROM THE COMPLETENESS AND QUALITY OF THE PROPOSAL TO THE PROJECT TEAM AND RELEVANT EXPERIENCE AND REFERENCES AND HOW THEY APPROACH THE PROJECT. UM. THE AFTER THE COMMITTEE'S REVIEW. WE SHORT LISTED TO FIRMS TO INTERVIEW AND AFTER THOSE INTERVIEWS, THE COMMITTEE UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED RECOMMENDS HALF ASSOCIATES. AND AS MENTIONED, UH, IT WAS PRIMARILY ON THEIR OWN MERITS FOR EXPERIENCE AND REFERENCES, BUT ALSO AS A BIG BONUS TO HAVE THAT LOCAL KNOWLEDGE AND GIVE THEM A LITTLE LEG UP AND THE KIND OF EARLY DATA COLLECTION PROCESS THEY HAVE. THEY HAVE A LOT OF THAT ALREADY. SO BEFORE YOU DENY IS A RESOLUTION TO CONSIDER SELECTING HALF ASSOCIATES TO PERFORM. THIS UPDATE AUTHORIZED THE TOWN MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE THAT CONTRACT. WITHIN THE BUDGET DID $200,000 AMOUNT. SO IF THAT'S APPROVED. TOWN MANAGER WILL BEGIN TO NEGOTIATE THAT CONTRACT AND EXECUTE THAT CONTRACT AND WE CAN BEGIN BEGIN WORK ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATES. IF TERMS ARE REACHED, WE CAN GO TO ONE OF THOSE OTHER QUALITY FIRMS ON THE LIST SO BUT WE FEEL CONFIDENT IF YOU AGREE AND APPROVED THAT HALF ASSOCIATES WILL BE GREAT TO WORK WITH. SO WHAT WAS THE COST ON THE LAST COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, JUST FOR REFERENCE FOR A LOT OF COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE NEW. ROUGHLY WAS IT? 90. I WAS THINKING ABOUT 100,000. YEAH, 100,000. DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA COME IN UNDER HIS 200 OR JUST IT'LL BE CLOSE THIS. WE UM WITH ALL THE VENDORS WITH ALL THE PROPOSALS, ESPECIALLY WITH HALF LOOKING AT A VERY AGGRESSIVE PUBLIC INPUT, UM AND KIND OF A HYBRID OR NOT KIND OF A HYBRID. THE PROCESS WILL BE IN PERSON AND THE ONLINE JUST GOING AS DEEP AS WE CAN AND GETTING AS MUCH INPUT AS POSSIBLE. SO AND WE'VE WE'VE GROWN QUITE A BIT IN THAT LAST SIX YEARS. AND SO THAT'S JUST A PROPORTIONAL COST INCREASE. UM SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE REASONS FOR THE FOR THE INCREASE. I THINK OUR FIRST ONE WE DID WAS MAYBE 50,000. SO YOU'RE KIND OF SEE THE PROPORTIONALITY OF THAT , AND OBVIOUSLY THERE'S MORE PEOPLE. THERE'S MORE INPUT.

THERE'S MORE FACTORS. SO THIS IS GOING TO BE A AND WE WANT A VERY THOROUGH PROCESS, AND WE WANT AS MUCH PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT AND I KNOW YOU'VE MENTIONED THAT IN THE PAST, AND THE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE ECHOED THAT. THANK YOU. EXCELLENT I DO WANT TO ALSO MENTION WE DO HAVE PLANNER WITH THAT FEAR, BRENNAN CANE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR HIM, AND THEY DO HAVE A LARGE PLANNING SECTION OF THEIR FIRM AND DO MANY, MANY COMPREHENSIVE PLANS AND SIMILAR PLANS. WE ALSO

[02:25:06]

WE'VE WORKED UP IN OKLAHOMA CITY. A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT PROJECTS THAT ONE OF THE OTHER EXAMPLES WE PROPOSE WE PROVIDED IN OUR PROPOSAL IS ACTUALLY THE CITY OF MUSTANG. OKLAHOMA WENT THROUGH A VERY SIMILAR PROCESS WHERE THEY WERE LOOKING AT A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND WE PROVIDED GUIDANCE ON THE TOWN CENTER. WE WORKED IN OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT ARE LOOKING AT TALENT CENTERS, OR, YOU KNOW VERY SIMILAR TYPE OF NATURE AS WELL. SMALL AREA PLAN SO VERY WELL DIVERSE IN THAT NATURE. OKAY, COUNCILORS. FURTHER QUESTIONS TONIGHT. ROBERT DO YOU HAVE ANY PERSPECTIVE FROM THE FROM THE EXPERIENCE ANY ANY HIGHLIGHTS FOR YOU THAT YOU WANT TO HIGHLIGHT FOR US?

[02:35:06]

THIS LINE. AT OUR PACE, WHICH. IT WOULD BE FASTER TR A BUILDING TO TIARA STANDARDS AND THEN HAND THE ASSET OVER THE T R A. AND WE'VE ALREADY PRE VETTED THAT. ROUTE, AND THEY'VE AGREED TO THAT. SO UH, A MONTH OR TWO IS FINE, BUT IF WE DELAY ANY LONGER , WE LOSE TIME ON OUR ORIGINAL COMMITMENT TO BUILD THIS THIS LINE. UM AND IT'S BUT IT IS LIKE YOU SAID. IT'S KIND OF PARTICULAR. LEAVE IT IF YOU DON'T TAKE IT. UM, WE NEED TO MOVE ON. UM, THERE IS AND I'M YOU KNOW, I KNOW. I UNDERSTAND. YOU NEED MORE TIME. BUT ANOTHER MESSAGE YOU COULD SEND IS HERE IT IS. WE'RE READY TO GO, BUT BUT I GET IT. WE DIDN'T GET THIS INTO ENOUGH TIME TO AND I AND I M I ANTICIPATE WE'RE GOING TO SEE ANOTHER VERSION, SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REVISIT THIS ANYWAY IN DECEMBER. BUT I DO HAVE YOUR COMMENTS. I'LL SHARE THOSE WITH THE MANAGER WHO CAN SHARE WITH THEIR COUNSEL. YEAH I MEAN, I THINK THERE'S GOT TO BE SOME DIALOGUE HERE. WE NEED SOME FEEDBACK FROM THEIR COUNSEL, AND I UNDERSTAND THEY'LL HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS, AND IT WILL MAKE IT A LITTLE MESSY, BUT, UM I NEED TO READ THIS LITTLE MORE THOROUGHLY AND UNDERSTAND IT. SO I WOULD I WOULD PREFER TO TABLE THIS BUT WITH THE YOU KNOW, PASS ON THE MESSAGE THAT URGENCY IS MATTER HERE. WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANYTHING ON THIS TOPIC TO DELAY WHERE WE'RE GOING. AND WE'RE NOT

[02:40:07]

IT'S PROBABLY GONNA BURN UP THIS MONTH. AND SUSPECTING, SO I DON'T THINK IT'S REALLY GONNA BE THAT BIG A DIFFERENCE, HOWEVER, IF A WEEK OR WEEK AND A HALF OR TWO WEEKS IS GOING TO BE THAT URGENT, AND I DON'T MIND CALLING A SPECIAL MEETING FOR THAT TOPIC, AND WE'LL SEE HOW MANY WE CAN GET HERE. FOR A QUORUM AND IF THAT'S ALRIGHT WITH YOU ALL BUT I MEAN, THIS. THIS IS NO NO ACTION AND DEFINITE ACTION ON THE NEXT MEETING IN DECEMBER. YES, OKAY. BUT. WE LOST A MONTH.

WE WOULD WE WOULD NEED TO MAYBE MAYBE ONE MORE MONTH. THAT. WE NEED TO DECIDE THEY'RE GOING TO DRAG THEIR FEET ON SOMETHING THEY WANT. WELL, THAT'S LIKE, NOT OUR PROBLEM. RIGHT? AGAIN.

WE HAVE AN OVERSIGHT, THE LAND THAT NEEDS TO BE OVERSIGHT. WELL THEY WOULD GO BACK TO THEIR OTHER VERSION OF PUTTING THAT EITHER NEED TO EXPAND THEIR INTENTION. PARALLEL KIND OF LIKE WE WOULD HAVE TO DO IF WE DIDN'T JOIN WORTH THAT'S ON THE TIMETABLE. THIS HAS SUBSTANTIAL VALUE FOR JUSTIN AS A SISTER CITY. I THINK WE CAN HAVE SOME DISCUSSIONS AND WE HAVE TO PUT THEM OVER A BARREL. THERE'S URGENCY HERE, BUT I THINK YOU KNOW, BUT WE JUST NEED TO GIVE HIM SOME TIME TO RESPOND TO THIS. THAT'S ALL WHICH I THINK IS VALUABLE AND A MONTH. I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND IT. YOU CAN TELL ME LATER, SO I'M JUST YEAH, I HEAR YOU. I DON'T I DON'T I'M JUST IT'S NOT SOMETHING I DECISION BUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SENDING THEM UNAPPROVED AGREEMENT VERSUS A DRAFT AGREEMENT. IT JUST TAKES THE PRESSURE OFF THEM A LITTLE BIT IS THAT THAT'S WHY I KIND OF WONDER. I MEAN, IF WE'RE LOOKING FOR 1 10 AND WE AGREE TO ONE THEN THE NIGHT YEAH, SEND IT SIGNED IF I CHOOSE TO WALK AWAY, WALK AWAY. IF THEY DON'T GIVE THEM A DATE AND BUT BY THE OTHER VISITS IN THE WRONG MESSAGES, IT STARTED AGGRESSIVE, ADVERSARIAL IMMEDIATELY. AND I'VE TRIED TO COMMUNICATE TO THE MANAGER THAT THIS THIS WAS EXPECTED WHEN THEY REFUSED THIS BACK. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND THAT THERE WOULD BE NO THERE WOULD BE NO EXPECTATION THAT THEY NEEDED TO PAY FOR ANY EXPANSION OF THE SYSTEM TO HANDLE OUR AREA. BUT THEY MUST ACCEPT THE EXPANSION. CORRECT. I MEAN, I'M HALF TEMPTED PERCENT THAT AND THAT WAY THERE'S NO TIME LOST, BUT THE SAME TIME THEN IT'S ALL ON THEM. THOSE TIMES LOST ANYWAY IF THEY DAILY DAILY ON IT. COUNSELORS I MEAN, I'M I'M SCANNING THIS TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THE COMPONENTS OF THIS AND I READ SOME OF IT EARLIER TONIGHT. UM THERE'S NOT SEEING AN NATIONALISTS WHERE I RELY ON YOU A LITTLE BIT, AND MY ONLY CONCERN IS OBLIGATIONS THEIR OBLIGATIONS IN THIS DOCUMENT. I MEAN, IT LAYS OUT THE PROPORTIONALITY. I DON'T SEE THE TIMELINES. TIMELINES IS WHAT CONCERNS ME. WE AGREE TO THIS AND, UM WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE'S NO PAYMENT FOR THE PROPORTIONALITY THAT WE'RE MOVING FORWARD ON? WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DESIGN OVERSIZED LINE? ARE THEY OBLIGATED TO PAY UP FRONT FOR THE ADDITIONAL ENGINEERING TO GET THAT DONE AT EACH STEP OF THE WAY WHEN WE NEED MONEY? IS IT GOING TO BE THERE OR DO WE HAVE AN EXIT RAMP? SO I DON'T WANT TO OBLIGATE US TO SOMETHING. SEND US DOWN A TRACK

[02:45:02]

NOW, THE WAY IT'S SET UP IS THEY COULD BE AN ILLUMINATING CITY SO THEY CAN START THEIR LINES, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE READY TO START OURS. BEFOREHAND. BUT WE WON'T WON'T PROCEED WITH THAT UNTIL WE GET THE ACTUAL COSTS. AND WE GET THE. 1.8 JUST THE ESTIMATED ALLOCATION. SO. WE'LL START THE PROJECT AND SO WE GET THE MONEY. SO WE WON'T BE IN A POSITION WHERE WE'RE GOING AFTER THEM. LATER TO GET THE PAIN. ALRIGHT COUNCIL. THAT WAS MY KEY QUESTIONS. SO I HAVE MY ANSWER.

IF YOU WANT TO ACT ON THIS, THAT'S FINE. UM OTHERWISE WE CAN TABLE AND CALL A SPECIAL MEETING . IF THERE'S AGREEMENT AND LESS TIME THAN A MONTH OR WE CAN PICK IT UP AT THE DECEMBER MEETING.

DO YOU WANT TO? TABLE TABLE TABLE. OKAY? ALRIGHT BYE. GENERAL CONSENT. DO WE NEED A WE NEED A MOTION MOTION TO TABLE UNTIL DECEMBER 8TH MEETING. UM WHAT ARE WE PUSHING HERE? WE PUSH ANY BUTTONS HERE? ARE YOU JUST PUSH SOMETHING? YOU MADE A MOTION MOTION MOTION FOR WHAT? TABLE TO TABLE. ALRIGHT, SO I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION. ALRIGHT MOTION TABLE TO DECEMBER 8TH MEETING SOON. THIS AGREEMENT. WITH OUR COMMENTARY TO JUSTIN AND ASKED FOR URGENCY AND WE'LL HAVE SOME CONVERSATIONS CAST YOUR VOTES, COUNSELOR UNLESS YOU HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSION.

ALRIGHT, THERE IT IS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALRIGHT, ITEM Q. IS THAT WHERE WE ARE NOW? B E SORRY

[5.P. Consider Resolution 22-66, approving an amended site plan of the Northlake Office Park]

WE'RE DENTIST OFFICES AS AN INSURANCE OFFICE IN IT AS WELL. UM THERE'S A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT APPROVED FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT BACK IN 2017. IT WAS IN THE E. T J AT THAT TIME CALLED FOR ANNEXATION NEXT AND JUST A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. ALONG WITH THAT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT SITE PLAN WAS APPROVED AS AN EXHIBIT TO IT AND AGREEMENT STATES THAT IT'S THE SOUL SITE PLAN FOR THE PROPERTY UNLESS SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE UNLESS A SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES PROPOSED AND THAT THE TOWN COUNCIL MAY APPROVE AN AMENDED SITE PLAN WITHOUT AMENDING THE FULL AGREEMENT. SO HERE'S THE CURRENT SITE PLAN THAT WAS APPROVED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. IT SHOWS FOUR BUILDINGS TOTALING 16,000 SQUARE FEET. BUILDINGS A AND B HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED. UMT SHOWS AREA FOR DETENTION POND AND SEPTIC FIELD. SO IN THIS WAS INITIALLY PROPOSED. THERE IS NO SEWER AVAILABLE TO THIS SITE, SO IT'S GOING TO BE SERVED BY BY SEPTIC. SO THAT IS WHERE THE REQUESTED CHANGE COMES IN. AND HERE'S THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT LOOKS VERY SIMILAR. IT'S THE SAME FOR BUILDINGS AND IN PLACE OF THAT SEPTIC FIELD THEY PROPOSED BUILDING 1/5 BUILDING WITH 3600. SQUARE FEET. THEY'VE HAD TO MODIFY SOME OF THE PARKING TO MEET PARKING REQUIREMENTS. MOVE WHERE THE DUMPSTER IS LOCATED. BUT OTHERWISE THE. THE SITE PLAN IS PRETTY MUCH AS AS APPROVED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. SO THIS AMENDMENT IS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT TO CONSIDER FOR APPROVAL AND ALSO LET YOU KNOW THAT THE CONTRACTOR WHO ACTUALLY HAS BUILT THESE PROJECTS AND WILL BE BUILDING THE NEXT BUILDING IS HERE REPRESENTING THE PROJECT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR HIM. COUNSELORS ARE GONNA ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU WANT FOR IS OPEN.

[02:50:06]

THAT MEANS THE CODE FOR OFFICE USES PRIMARILY, THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT CAN BE GOING IN THESE NOTICED THERE IS A DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN BUILDING A AND B. IT SHOWS. MEDICAL OFFICE, WHICH REQUIRES A FEW MORE PARKING SPACES THAN JUST TYPICAL PROFESSIONAL OFFICE. SO THE REMAINING BUILDINGS WON'T BE ABLE TO HAVE THE MEDICAL USES. THERE'LL BE PROFESSIONAL OFFICE SPACE. WHAT'S THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN OFFICE PROFESSIONAL AND BUILDING D? OR IT SAYS OFFICE PROCESSING? I THINK THAT'S A TYPE OF SUPPOSED TO BE PROFESSIONAL. DIDN'T RECOGNIZE THAT. YES. OKAY SO PROFESSIONAL CITIES ARE RESTRICTED TO USE. SO HOW IS THAT CONTROLLED AS FAR AS WHO USES THEM? SO SINCE THIS HAS BEEN AN EXTEND, AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO PERMIT THROUGH US GET A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY FOR US. AND WE REVIEW WHETHER IT MEETS THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS AND ONE OF THOSE THINGS AND BE REVIEWING THAT MEETS THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS TO THIS BUILDING IS THE ONLY CHANGE ON THIS THING. YES. AND THE SEPTICS. SITUATION HAS BEEN SATISFIED. YES YES. SEE WHERE YOUR LINE IS, IS THERE AND NEARLY IN PLACE TO START USING OKAY? WHAT ELSE DO YOU HAVE COUNSELORS FOR MR EDEN. DO YOU WANT TO HEAR FROM THE CONTRACTOR? GO. OKAY? OUR BUILDINGS THREE AND FOUR GOING TO BE BUILT BEFORE BUILDING FIVE. THE NEW BUILDING WILL BE BUILT AFTER THE OTHER TWO BUILDINGS. THE THINK WHAT'S SHOWN AS BUILDING E. THIS NEW INSURANCE SITE PLAN IS WHAT THEY PLAN TO BUILD NEXT. IS THAT CORRECT? I GUESS COUNSELORS. THE QUESTION IS, UM, WOULD YOU APPROVED IT THIS WAY TO BEGIN WITH IN TERMS OF PLANNING? THERE'S A SPACE THERE, SO OBVIOUSLY IT'S FILLING THE SPACE UP. AND IT MEETS CODE. BUT IT'S THIS. IS THERE ANY CONSIDERATIONS AS FAR AS WHAT WAS BUILT THERE? WAS THERE SUPPOSED TO BE VIEWS FROM BUILDING B WAS THEIR CONSIDERATION FOR THE WAY YOU WANTED THIS DESIGNED. I DON'T RECALL BEING HERE FOR THIS PARTICULAR EVERYTHING I REMEMBER FROM BACK THEN IS THAT THERE WAS IT LEFT A LITTLE BIT OF OPEN SPACE. AND THAT WAS NO, IT'S JUST KIND OF CLUSTERED, BUT THAT'S JUST WHAT I RECALL. RIGHT? MR AND I THINK WE'RE GOOD WITH YOU. THANK YOU. COUNSELORS. WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS? PROBABLY WHATEVER WE'RE LIKE THAT. IT'S AN OFFICE PARK. UM THE BUILDING SPACE THINGS ABOUT THE SAME AS THE OTHERS. LITTLE NEUTRAL ON IT. IT'S MORE. IT'S MORE BUILDINGS. BUT WHAT'S DOWN THE DOWN THE HILL IS LIKELY TO BE SIMILAR. THE USE MATCHES. WHAT'S AROUND IT? OBVIOUSLY, IT'S SIMILAR. THOSE ARE MY INITIAL THOUGHTS, BUT I DON'T HAVE A STRONG OPINION. ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. ANYBODY WANT TO PLAY IN MOTION WE APPROVE. OKAY, WELL, MOTION TO APPROVE FROM COUNSELOR SESSION SECONDED BY COUNCILOR BOYER. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. THANK YOUR VOTES. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT

[6. EXECUTIVE SESSION]

[7. RECONVENE INTO OPEN SESSION]

AND BUT THEY WANTED A PROJECT THAT WOULD THAT WOULD WORK AND WE NEEDED TO MAKE SURE IT WOULD WORK FOR THE TOWN. AND SO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TONIGHT I'M GOING TO TRY TO SUMMARIZE THE KEY POINTS OF IT. THE PROPOSAL IS 25 25 LOTS FOR THE PROJECT, WHICH IS 100 150 ACRES.

A COMBINATION OF FOUR AND FIVE ACRE LOTS ABOUT HALF AND HALF BECAUSE OF THE TOPOGRAPHY AND THE WAY IT LAYS OUT A LITTLE BIT OF OPEN SPACE. WHERE THEY CAN'T BUILD AND DO THE DRAINAGE. THEY CAN'T BUILD IN ONE LOT. A PLAN FOR WATER LINES THROUGHOUT THE AREA. THE FOLDING IN OF THE FOUGHT FARMHOUSE INTO THE PROJECT, SO THAT WOULD BE REMOVED. UM A PLAN TO MOVE EVELYN LANE, SO IT INTERSECTS WITH OLD JUSTIN ROAD. AND APPROPRIATE ANGLE. AND THEN, UM, AGREEMENTS THAT THEY'LL DEDICATE THE WATER LINE EASEMENT. AND THEN THAT'S FIGHT ROAD ITSELF.

UM MAJORITY SAFE. I SAID THE WATER LINE ON FLAT ROADS, THE WATERLINE. HE'S BEEN WHAT ELSE RIGHT AWAY FOR FONT ROAD ALSO RIGHT AWAY, AND HE'S BEEN FOR FRONT ROAD. IN THE WATER LINE.

YES AND THE WATERLINE ALONG FOR OUR ROAD? YES, SIR. OKAY SO THEN THE TOWN'S RESPONSIBILITIES, WHICH ARE NOT ON THE TIMELINE IS , UM EVELYN LANE AROUND THE PROPERTY AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE AND THE WATER LINES AROUND THE PROPERTY, BUT THEY'LL DEDICATE THE EASEMENT. CORRECT, CORRECT, ALRIGHT. AM I MISSING ANY POINTS ON AND THEN SOME DRAINAGE CONSIDERATIONS. FOR TO MEET SOME STANDARDS. VERY VERY LIMITED LOT TO LIKE DRAINAGE, BUT NO LONGER NO MORE THAN OVER ONE LINE. OKAY? DID I MISS ANY KEY POINTS OF THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT? ALL RIGHT. COUNSELORS AND DISCUSS MAKE MOTIONS FOR IS OPEN FOR YOUR ACTION. ALRIGHT COUNSELOR.

GANZ MOTIONS TO APPROVE MAYOR PRETEND MONTAGNY SECONDS. I WAS IN FAVOR OPPOSED VOTE UNLESS YOU HAVE SOMETHING ADDITIONAL TO DISCUSS. ALRIGHT, UNANIMOUS. THANK YOU. ITEM B 22-68. AH
