[2.B. Briefing - Fiscal Year 2024 Audit Presentation by Town Auditor]

[00:15:04]

SO EXCITED TO BE WITH YOU ALL EXCITED TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH YOU. THIS HAS CONTINUED TO BE A GOOD AUDIT. PRETTY SEAMLESS TRANSITION HERE WITH JOHN HIS FIRST FULL YEAR I GUESS GOING UNDER THE AUDIT. SO PROVIDED EVERYTHING. HIM AND THE TEAM DID A GREAT JOB GETTING US EVERYTHING WE NEEDED TO GET THE AUDIT DONE. SO JUST WANTED TO COMMEND THEM AT THE BEGINNING HERE. SO I'D LIKE TO KIND OF GO OVER JUST THE WHOLE AUDIT PROCESS START TO FINISH, VERY HIGH LEVEL. SO STARTS WAY BACK. THIS IS THE NINE 3024 AUDIT. BUT WE START EVEN BEFORE YEAR END.

AND WE COME IN AND WE DO AN ASSESSMENT OVER THE PROCESSES AND INTERNAL CONTROLS. AND HONESTLY, THIS BEING THE FIFTH YEAR OF THE AUDIT, WE'RE GETTING MORE AND MORE COMFORTABLE WITH, YOU KNOW, HOW THE PROCESSES WORK. WE CAN DEEP DIVE INTO DIFFERENT THINGS THAT MAYBE WE HADN'T LOOKED AT AS CLOSE IN ONE YEAR. SO IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO JUST KIND OF GET A REEVALUATION EACH YEAR AND LOOK THROUGH WHAT THE CONTROLS ARE, WHAT THE DIFFERENT PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES ARE. SO THAT'S WHAT WE START WITH. THEN THAT KIND OF BLENDS INTO OUR RISK BASED APPROACH. SO I ALWAYS LIKE TO REMIND EVERY COUNCIL I TALK TO, WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT EVERY SINGLE CHECK THAT THE TOWN CUTS. WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT EVERY INVOICE THAT COMES ACROSS SOMEBODY'S DESK. IT'S A RISK BASED SAMPLING APPROACH. AND WE'RE DEFINITELY TESTING ANYTHING THAT'S MATERIAL TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. SO WHEN YOU'RE ISSUING A $22 MILLION BOND WE'RE MAKING SURE THAT THAT'S BEING DONE CORRECTLY. YOU KNOW. SO THEN KIND OF WITH THE KIND OF IN IN REGARDS WITH THAT, THE COMPLIANCE TESTING THAT WE DO, WE MAKE SURE THAT IF THERE'S ANY NEW LAWS OR REGULATIONS THAT AFFECT FINANCIAL POLICY, WE MAKE SURE THAT THE TOWN IS AWARE OF THAT, THAT THEY'RE KEEPING UP WITH THAT. WE HAVE IN OUR LETTER ONE OF OUR LETTERS TO Y'ALL. WE HAVE A COUPLE OF INFORMATION ITEMS THERE THAT ARE LIKE EITHER NEW STANDARDS OR CHANGING THRESHOLDS, THINGS LIKE THAT, SO THAT YOU'RE JUST AWARE OF ANYTHING THAT'S NEW. THE FIELDWORK IS THE ACTUAL NUTS AND BOLTS OF THE AUDIT. THAT'S WHEN WE COME IN AFTER YEAR END POLLS, PULL THOSE SAMPLES, PULL CHECKS, PULL INVOICES, LOOKING, LOOKING AT THINGS, DOING OUR ALL OF OUR TESTING TO MAKE SURE BOTH COMPLIANCE AND THE ACCOUNTING IS DONE APPROPRIATELY. AND THEN LASTLY, CONCLUDING AND REPORTING, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY WHAT WE'RE HERE DOING TONIGHT.

WE DID ISSUE THE AUDIT REPORT ON APRIL 30TH. SO WELL WITHIN THE TIME FRAME TO GET THE GFOA AWARD FOR THE ACT FOR. SO SPEAKING OF THAT, WE DID GIVE AN UNMODIFIED OPINION AS JOHN MENTIONED. SO NO, NO ISSUES THERE. THAT WOULD THERE'S SEVERAL LEVELS YOU CAN HAVE. I HAVE THE OPINION TYPES DOWN ON THE BOTTOM HERE. UNMODIFIED IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF ASSURANCE THAT WE CAN GIVE.

SO YOU KNOW LAYMAN'S TERMS, THE CLEAN OPINION ON THE AUDIT THEN. SO KIND OF HAVE ALL THE SECTIONS OF THE AUDIT HERE AFTER THE OPINION, THE MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION ANALYSIS, THAT'S REALLY WHERE THE TOWN GOES THROUGH. AND YOU CAN KIND OF COMPARE 23 AND 24 I KNOW IT'S YOU KNOW OBVIOUSLY IT'S MAY OF 25. SO WE'RE KIND OF LOOKING WAY BACK IN THE PAST AT THIS POINT.

BUT IT IS GOOD TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHERE, YOU KNOW, WHERE THE TOWN WAS, WHERE THEY WERE AT AT AT 930. AND THEN GOING INTO THE 2025 BUDGET AS WELL. SO THEN YOU HAVE YOUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AFTER THAT, WHICH YOU'VE GOT YOUR GOVERNMENT WIDE FINANCIALS. ALL OF THAT'S AT FULL ACCRUAL BREAKS DOWN EVEN FURTHER, THOUGH INTO YOUR INDIVIDUAL FUNDS. SO YOU'VE GOT GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS AND THEN YOUR ENTERPRISE FUNDS THAT THE GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS ARE WHAT'S CONSIDERED MODIFIED ACCRUAL. IT'S KIND OF A MIX BETWEEN FULL ACCRUAL ACCOUNTING AND THE BUDGET TYPE CASH ACCOUNTING AND THEN ENTERPRISE TYPE. SO WATER, SEWER, WATER CAPITAL PROJECTS, THE NEW SPORTS VENUE FUND, ALL OF THOSE ARE DONE AS A FULL LIKE YOU WOULD LOOK AT A NORMAL BUSINESS'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BREAKING DOWN EVEN FURTHER TO THE NOTES. SO THAT'S WHERE YOU CAN KIND OF GET FURTHER DETAIL ON THE CAPITAL ASSETS, THE DEBT, THE PENSION, THE OPEB, ALL THAT FUN STUFF. SO LOTS OF INFORMATION THERE. THEN THE SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION, WHICH IS ANYTHING

[00:20:02]

SO THIS IS JUST THE GOVERNMENTAL FUND BALANCES FOR THE YEAR AND ANY CHANGES. OBVIOUSLY THE LARGEST CHANGE BEING THAT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND. THERE'S THAT THAT WAS ISSUED.

AND I THINK THAT'S THERE'S JUST A THE ESSENTIALLY THOSE PROCEEDS ARE A LOT MORE THAN WHAT THE EXPENDITURES THAT HAVE GONE OUT ALREADY AT 930, 24. SO THERE'S STILL MONEY TO BE SPENT AFTER YEAR END AT THAT POINT, BUT OTHERWISE NOT NOT ANY OTHER HUGE CHANGES ON ANY OF THOSE. AS YOU CAN SEE. ALL PRETTY IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE THERE. SO NOTHING, NOTHING CONCERNING. I LIKE TO ALWAYS POINT THIS OUT TO THE GENERAL FUND BALANCE AND JUST LOOK A LITTLE BIT AT THE GENERAL FUND SPECIFICALLY, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THAT'S JUST KIND OF THE MAIN OPERATIONS OF THE TOWN.

THE POLICY IS FOR THE TOWN. THE TOWN'S INTERNAL POLICY IS TO HAVE 33% OF EXPENDITURES AVAILABLE AND UNASSIGNED FUND BALANCE, WHICH IS NOT CASH, BUT THAT IS YOUR TOTAL ASSETS OVER YOUR TOTAL LIABILITIES. THAT IS NOT RESTRICTED IN ANY WAY TO SOME SPECIFIC PROJECT. SO AT THE END OF FISCAL YEAR 23, THAT WAS AT 58%. AT THE END OF FISCAL YEAR 24, IT'S AT 51%. SO OBVIOUSLY WELL OVER THE THRESHOLD THAT THE TOWN HAS SET. AND GFA IS A RECOMMENDATION I BELIEVE IS ONLY 60 DAYS. YEAH. SO THERE YOU ARE. I'LL DO MORE THAN WHAT THE GFOA RECOMMENDS.

SO BUDGET RESULTS ARE THERE ON PAGE 85. AS YOU CAN SEE, REVENUES EXCEEDED BUDGET REVENUES BY 1.6 MILLION. EXPENDITURES WERE OVER BUDGET BY 966,000. BUT OBVIOUSLY WITH THE WITH THE BIG BUMP IN REVENUE, THAT WAS JUST SPENDING DOWN SOME OF WHAT WAS BROUGHT IN OTHER FINANCING SOURCES, WHICH THAT'S A LOT OF TRANSFERS THAT WAS BELOW BUDGET BY 50,000. I BELIEVE THAT WAS JUST AN UNPLANNED TRANSFER THAT THAT ENDED UP HAVING TO HAPPEN. AND THEN THE OVERALL BUDGET, THERE WAS A NET POSITIVE OF 663,000. SO OBVIOUSLY A GOOD THING TO SEE. YOU WANT TO MEET YOUR BUDGET. THIS IS THE ONLY THING I THREW IN THERE FROM THE PROPRIETARY FUNDS, JUST THAT WATER AND SEWER OPERATING INCOME BEING 3.9, ALMOST 4 MILLION. AND THE CHANGE IN THAT POSITION BEING POSITIVE. I LIKE TO FOCUS ON THE OPERATING INCOME LINE BECAUSE THAT'S BASICALLY, ARE YOU CHARGING ENOUGH FOR WATER AND SEWER TO MAINTAIN YOUR SYSTEM, TO PLAN FOR FUTURE INFRASTRUCTURE, ALL THAT FUN STUFF. IF THIS NUMBER IS NEGATIVE YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR, THEN USUALLY THE TOWN IS DOING SOMETHING LIKE SUPPLEMENTING WATER AND SEWER WITH PROPERTY TAX OR SALES TAX OR SOMETHING. THAT'S REALLY NOT HOW YOU WANT TO RUN YOUR WATER SEWER SYSTEM. SO WE JUST ALWAYS LIKE TO POINT THIS OUT AND MAKE SURE THAT IT'S SELF-SUSTAINING. LAST SLIDE HERE. SO I'VE GOT THOSE TWO OTHER LETTERS THAT THAT'S OUR REQUIRED COMMUNICATION TO Y'ALL THAT HAS BASICALLY WE SAY IN THERE WE'VE CONDUCTED OUR OUR AUDIT AND COMPLIANCE WITH ALL ETHICS REQUIREMENTS. WE'RE ALL INDEPENDENT OF THE TOWN. I HAVE NO FINANCIAL INTEREST IN THE TOWN DOING WELL. I DON'T LIVE HERE. I DON'T YOU KNOW, I'M JUST JUST HERE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED AND REPORT IT TO YOU ALL. IF WE HAD ANY DIFFICULTIES, IF YOU KNOW, JOHN, JOHN WOULDN'T GIVE US ANYTHING WE NEEDED. WE WOULD REPORT IT IN THERE. BUT HE HE DID EVERYTHING WE NEEDED. SO THEY ALL DID. GREAT. AUDIT ADJUSTMENTS WERE IDENTIFIED. SO THERE'S SOME JOURNAL ENTRIES IN THERE. A LOT OF THAT IS CLEANUP FOR THE WAY THAT THE WAY THAT YOU ACCOUNT FOR THINGS ALL YEAR LONG. YOU DON'T NECESSARILY YOU DON'T PRESENT A FULL FINANCIAL STATEMENT EVERY SINGLE MONTH OR EVERY SINGLE QUARTER. YOU'RE LOOKING MORE AT LIKE A BUDGET BASIS AND, AND THAT SORT OF THING. SO THERE ARE SOME ENTRIES THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE AT THE END OF THE YEAR TO KIND OF GET EVERYTHING CORRECT FOR THE REPORT. AND SO NOTHING CONCERNING THERE. YOU MIGHT SEE SOME LARGE NUMBERS IN THOSE JOURNAL ENTRIES, BUT HONESTLY, IT'S JUST MOVING BETWEEN FUNDS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. SO NOTHING NOTHING TOO CRAZY IN THERE. AND THEN INTERNAL CONTROLS WE HAD I THINK 1 OR 2 NOTES IN THERE ON ON INTERNAL CONTROLS. MY FIRST YEAR I WAS JUST TELLING JOHN THIS BY THE IN THE 2020 AUDIT, I THINK THAT WAS LIKE 9 OR 10 ITEMS LONG. SO THAT HAS REALLY SHORTENED UP. SO THAT'S THAT'S GOOD TO SEE. THE PROCESSOR ARE GETTING BETTER. THE CONTROLS ARE GETTING BETTER. WE'RE NOT FINDING AS MANY THINGS I KNOW IN THE PAST LIKE P CARDS WAS A BIG ISSUE. LIKE, HEY, WE GOT TO FIND A WAY TO GET THESE APPROVED. AND YOU KNOW, SO ALL THAT'S BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. SO IT'S GOOD TO SEE THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT THE TOWN HAS MADE OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS. AND THEN I'VE GOT MY CONTACT INFORMATION. SO OBVIOUSLY I'M OPEN TO QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW. BUT IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO TAKE TIME RIGHT NOW OR YOU WANT TO CALL LATER, YOU WANT TO SEND ME AN EMAIL, ASK ABOUT A NUMBER IN THE REPORT. I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO ADDRESS THAT. SO COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS? I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS. OF COURSE WE PAY YOU TO DO THIS.

[00:25:06]

[2.C. Briefing - Fiscal Year 2025 Second Quarter Investment & Financial Report (Jan - Mar 2025)]

BUT ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE INVESTMENT REPORTS? OKAY. AS FAR AS THE FINANCIAL REPORT GOES, 50% OF THE FISCAL YEARS TRANSPIRED AND 57% OF OUR BUDGETED REVENUES HAVE BEEN COLLECTED. SO WE'VE COLLECTED 94% OF PROPERTY TAXES. THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD EXPECT BY THIS POINT OF THE FISCAL YEAR. WE HAVE ABOUT 6% OUTSTANDING. SO THOSE SHOULD TRICKLE IN OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS. AND THEN 41% OF SALES TAXES COLLECTED FOR THE YEAR. SALES TAXES IS DOING FAIRLY WELL, AND WE'RE ACTUALLY UP ABOUT 12% OVER LAST YEAR. SO THAT'S ALWAYS POSITIVE. WE'LL SEE HOW THINGS TREND THE REST OF THE YEAR. AND THEN 37% OF BUDGET EXPENDITURES HAVE BEEN SPENT.

WE'RE A LITTLE BIT UNDER ON PERSONNEL DUE TO SOME VACANCIES WAS ALREADY ALLUDED TO JUST WITH THE PUBLIC WORKS PRESENTATION. WE'VE HAD SOME OPENINGS IN PUBLIC WORKS OPENINGS IN POLICE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. SOME OF THOSE HAVE EXTENDED LONGER THAN EXPECTED. AND THEN WITH CAPITAL PROJECTS WE SPENT, WE'VE LOGGED 20.9 MILLION SO FAR THIS YEAR. A LOT OF THAT IS AROUND THE STAR CENTER AND SURROUNDING INFRASTRUCTURE DOWN THERE AT THAT SITE. BUT HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FINANCIAL REPORTS. LOOKS LIKE EVERYBODY LIKES THE REPORT. SO THANK YOU.

YEAH NO PROBLEM. AND JUST AS ALWAYS FOR YOU ALL AND FOR RESIDENTS THESE REPORTS ARE ONLINE. WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A LOOK IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. IT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST UNDERUSED TOOLS THAT WE HAVE ONLINE. YES. SO AND WE PUT IT ALL OUT THERE. SO WE'D LOVE FOR PEOPLE TO TAKE A LOOK. IT'S VERY NON-ACCOUNTANT FRIENDLY. I AM NOT ANY KIND OF FINANCIAL PERSON. I CAN NEVER SAY, OH, I HAVE. ALL RIGHT. NEXT CIRCLE. OKAY. WE'LL DIVE INTO EVERYONE'S

[2.D. Briefing - Fiscal Year 2026 Budget Kickoff]

JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU ALL A SENSE OF WHAT WE'VE DONE SO FAR AND WHERE WE'RE TRENDING. SO THIS IS A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A DETAILED BUDGET CALENDAR THAN WE'VE DONE IN YEARS PAST, BUT IT'S SPLIT INTO WHAT DEPARTMENTS AND FINANCE ARE DOING THEN, WHAT THE FINANCE AND TOWN MANAGER ARE DOING IN TERMS OF RESPONSIBILITIES, AND THEN WHAT WE'LL BE BRINGING TO YOU ALL FOR COUNCIL ACTION OR FOR BRIEFINGS. SO FAR, WE'VE DONE A COUPLE OF THINGS. WE'VE ALREADY HELD THE INTERNAL BUDGET KICKOFF WITH STAFF, THEY'VE SUBMITTED THEIR INITIAL REQUESTS, AND WE'RE WORKING ON PUTTING ALL THAT TOGETHER AND COMPILING IT. THEY'VE HAD THEIR TOWN MANAGER MEETINGS, AND WE'RE GETTING INTO THE CIP. AND WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE CIP TONIGHT AS WE START DEVELOPING THAT OUT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS. AND WE'VE ALREADY RECEIVED PRELIMINARY PROPERTY TAX REVENUES. WE'RE CURRENTLY OR NOT REVENUES VALUES FOR THE UPCOMING BUDGET YEAR. SO WE'RE CURRENTLY PARSING THOSE TO SEE WHERE WE MIGHT LAND TO GET AT LEAST AN INITIAL PREVIEW FOR THE UPCOMING BRIEFING THAT'S GOING TO COME IN JUNE. THAT'S GOING TO GO OVER REQUESTS AND EXPENSES, AND THEN WE HAVE A COUPLE MORE BRIEFINGS ON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM, AS WELL AS REVENUE AND TAX RATE. AND THEN OBVIOUSLY, YOU ALL BE CALLING THE PUBLIC HEARINGS DISCUSSING THE PROPOSED BUDGET, HOLDING A RECORD VOTE, DOING SOME ADDITIONAL PUBLIC HEARINGS IF NEEDED, AND THEN ADOPTING THE BUDGET AND THE TAX RATES. THE GOAL IS TO HAVE THAT DONE AT THAT FIRST MEETING IN SEPTEMBER ON 911, AND THEN THE FISCAL YEAR WILL START OCTOBER 1ST. I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. SO WHENEVER YOU GET THE PRELIMINARY VALUES FROM THE COUNTY, DO WE WHENEVER YOU'RE KIND OF RECONCILING IT, DO WE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION? H HAS PASSED AND EVERYONE THAT'S GOING TO PROTEST IS GOING TO PROTEST, DO YOU TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE VALUES? BECAUSE I KNOW WHEN I WENT TO GO TALK ABOUT OUR APPRAISED VALUE, THAT ONE OF THE IDEAS WAS THAT SOME AREAS IN NORTHLAKE ARE PRETTY SIGNIFICANTLY OFF VALUE. SO I'M JUST CURIOUS IF WE PLAN

[00:30:03]

YEAH. AND BY THE WAY I DON'T KNOW WHAT COUNCIL THINKS BUT THIS IS WONDERFUL. THANK YOU I LIKE THE FORMAT. SO EASY. GOOD. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING FOR I'M TRYING TO MAKE BUDGETING FUN AND EASY. OKAY WELL I HOPE YOU'RE EXCITED BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO TALK PHILOSOPHY THEN. SO WE JUST WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THE TOWN'S BUDGETING PHILOSOPHY HAS BEEN. IF YOU ALL HAVE ANY CRITIQUES OR COMMENTS OR SUGGESTIONS, MORE THAN HAPPY TO HEAR THAT. INCORPORATE THAT INTO THE PROCESS. BUT WE ALWAYS START WITH THE STRATEGIC GOALS THAT COUNCIL HAS DEVELOPED.

THERE'S SIX OF THEM. I WON'T GO OVER EACH OF THEM HERE, BUT WE USE THIS AS OUR STARTING POINT.

AND WITHIN THOSE STRATEGIC GOALS, WE UTILIZE THESE FOUR PRINCIPLES OF BUDGETING TO TRY AND ACHIEVE THOSE THOSE STRATEGIC GOALS. SO WHEN WE GO THROUGH THE BUDGETING PROCESS, WE HAVE THESE FOUR PRINCIPLES. WE ALWAYS ARE AIMING TO HAVE CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATES. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT REVENUES ARE ALWAYS GOING TO EXCEED EXPENDITURES AT THE YEAR END. SO WE ALWAYS OVERESTIMATE EXPENSES, UNDERESTIMATE REVENUES. KIND OF ALLUDING BACK TO THAT WHOLE PROPERTY TAX CONVERSATION WE JUST HAD, WE WANT TO USE THE LOWER REVENUE NUMBER. THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO USE TO BUDGET. IF WE COME IN HIGHER, THAT'S GREAT. BUT YEAR END EXPENDITURES NEED TO BE LESS THAN REVENUES. AND THEN WE DO DEFICIT BUDGETING WHERE WE ESSENTIALLY START OFF WITH WHAT IS EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED TO MAINTAIN CURRENT SERVICE LEVELS, AND THEN WHAT ARE SOME OF THE NEW PROGRAMS AS WELL. AND WE WORK OUR WAY BACK FROM THERE UNTIL WE GET A BALANCED BUDGET, WHICH IS THE NEXT PRINCIPLE, WHERE EXPENDITURES ARE ALWAYS COMING IN UNDERNEATH THOSE REVENUES AT THE YEAR END. AND THEN WE ALSO SEEK TO HAVE A STRUCTURALLY SOUND BUDGET WHERE ONGOING EXPENSES ARE LINKED TO ONGOING REVENUES, AND ONE TIME EXPENSES ARE LINKED TO ONE TIME REVENUES. THE WHOLE POINT OF THAT IS WE AVOID DIGGING OURSELVES INTO A FISCAL HOLE DOWN THE ROAD WHERE WE HAVE THESE ONGOING EXPENSES THAT WE'VE LINKED TO ONE TIME REVENUES. LOOKING AT JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL, THE BALANCED BUDGET IS A HUGE PART OF IT. AND SO WHAT WE ALWAYS START WITH IS THIS BASE SERVICE COST. WE TAKE THE ASSUMPTION THAT AT THE VERY LEAST, IT'S GOING TO WHAT IT COSTS LAST YEAR TO PROVIDE SERVICE. AT THE VERY LEAST, IT'S GOING TO COST THAT THIS YEAR. IT NEVER IS. THERE'S ALWAYS INFLATION. AND SO THAT'S WHERE THAT MAINTAINED SERVICE PORTION COMES IN. WE STACK ON WHAT'S THE INFLATIONARY EXPECTATIONS FOR ADDITIONAL COSTS AND GOODS SERVICES PERSONNEL, THINGS THAT WE NEED IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE SAME LEVEL OF SERVICE FOR THE CURRENT POPULATION OR THE POPULATION THAT WE'RE EXPECTING. SO AS THE TOWN GROWS, THAT MAINTAIN SERVICE ALSO GROWS, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO STACK IT ON TOP OF WHAT WE WERE PROVIDING LAST YEAR, AND THEN WE STACK ON TOP OF THAT, THE NEW SERVICES. SO IF THERE'S SOMETHING BRAND NEW, THE TOWN'S NEVER DONE BEFORE, OR THAT THE DEPARTMENT IS SUGGESTING WE THROW THAT ON TOP THERE AND FOR ESPECIALLY FOR COUNCIL'S REVIEW AND THEN WE WORK OUR WAY BACK. SO IF THERE IS A REVENUE GAP, LIKE IN THIS EXAMPLE, THAT YOU SEE IF REVENUES IS LESS THAN THAT, TOTAL EXPENSES, ONCE WE TAKE INTO BASE SERVICE COSTS, MAINTAIN SERVICES AND NEW SERVICES, WE WANT TO CLOSE THAT REVENUE GAP BY ELIMINATING STARTING WITH NEW SERVICES, WE WORK BACKWARDS AND THEN WE GO INTO MAINTAIN SERVICES AND SEE IF WE NEED TO PULL BACK IN SOME WAY. SO THE OUTCOMES THAT WE'RE HOPING TO HAVE THROUGH THIS PROCESS IS THAT CORE SERVICES ARE ALWAYS BEING FOCUSED ON, AND THAT WE'RE MAINTAINING THEM, AND THAT THE REVENUES ARE MATCHING AND EXCEEDING EXPENSES AND THAT THAT NEW SERVICES, THAT THEY'RE ONLY ADDED AFTER WE'VE ALREADY CONSIDERED AND MADE SURE THAT CORE SERVICES ARE BEING MAINTAINED AND ARE HAPPENING. SO THE BUDGET THESE ARE THE BUDGET FOCUS AREAS THAT COUNCIL HAS HISTORICALLY ASKED US TO FOCUS ON. IF YOU ALL WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE THIS UP, THAT'S A CONVERSATION WE CAN ALWAYS HAVE AND WE CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO INCORPORATE THAT IN ANY CHANGES.

BUT WE HAVE ALWAYS FOCUSED SO FAR FOR THE LAST AT LEAST FIVE YEARS, EFFECTIVELY MANAGING PUBLIC RESOURCES, DIVERSIFYING THE TAX BASE, OPERATING EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY AND RESPONSIBLY MANAGING GROWTH. SO WHAT THAT MEANS FOR THE BUDGET PROCESS ITSELF IS THE EFFECTIVELY MANAGING PUBLIC RESOURCES, NOT SHOULD SAY, MANAGING NOT MANAGER, BUT DRUZE.

YOU WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT MY SPELLING AT ALL? I'M HERE FOR YOU. SO YEAH, I'M I'M MORE THAN HAPPY. YES, IT'S NOT A NUMBER, BUT SELF-CORRECTING RIGHT NOW. ANYWAY, THE WHOLE GOAL OF EFFECTIVELY MANAGING PUBLIC RESOURCES IS TO MAINTAIN THAT 29.5 CENT TAX RATE. WE'VE HAD

[00:35:04]

SO WE'RE ALWAYS TRYING AS WHEN WE'RE BUDGETING AND PLANNING, WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT ARE THE OPPORTUNITIES TO SHIFT THAT PROPORTION AWAY FROM RESIDENTS AND MORE TOWARDS COMMERCIAL WHEN IT COMES TO THE TAX BURDEN. AND THE LONG TERM GOAL IS A 6040 SPLIT, YOU'LL SEE ON THE NEXT SLIDE THAT WE'RE HOVERING MORE AROUND 5050 RIGHT NOW. BUT WE'RE ALSO A GROWING TOWN. SO THAT'S NOT SET IN STONE. BUT WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR WAYS TO UTILIZE THE BUDGET TO HELP PROMOTE REASONABLE COMMERCIAL GROWTH AND STRATEGIC GROWTH. THAT'S IN LINE WITH YOUR ALL'S EXPECTATIONS AND WITH THE TOWN'S COMPREHENSIVE PLANS. AND THEN JUST ALSO AS KIND OF AN ADD ON, WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVE REVENUE SOURCES. AN EXAMPLE OF THAT IS INTEREST INCOME. SO WE'RE IS THERE A PLACE THAT WE CAN PUT OUR MONEY THAT WILL EARN US ADDITIONAL INTEREST, THAT WE COULD THEN USE TO HELP OFFSET COSTS IN THE FUTURE? THIS IS JUST THAT GRAPH I WAS ALLUDING TO. YOU CAN SEE SINCE 21 WE'VE HOVERED AROUND THAT 5050 SPLIT. FOR 2025, WE'VE COME IN AT 48% TO 52%, WITH RESIDENTS BEARING 48% OF THAT PROPERTY TAX BURDEN AND COMMERCIAL 52%. SO TRENDING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION THIS YEAR. OPERATING EFFICIENTLY EFFECTIVELY HAS FOCUSED ON MAINTAINING CORE SERVICES, AND A HUGE PART OF THAT HAS BEEN STRATEGIC STAFFING. SO WE TRY TO KEEP PACE WITH THE MARKET. WE DO A FORMAL SALARY SURVEY EVERY TWO YEARS. WE FOCUS ON REDUCING TURNOVER. ONE WAY WE TRY IS COMPENSATING EMPLOYEES AT THAT 50TH PERCENTILE OF THE MARKET. WE USE WORKLOAD MEASURES TO TRY AND MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT BUDGET DECISIONS ABOUT PERSONNEL, AND THEN WE TRY TO REDUCE THE NEED BY UTILIZING TECHNOLOGY. GOOD EXAMPLE OF THAT WAS THE CELLULAR METER PROJECT THAT REDUCED THE WORKLOAD WHILE IT WAS DONE FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS. ONE THING IS IT REDUCED THE WORKLOAD ON OUR BILLING STAFF AND OUR PUBLIC WORK STAFF. THIS IS JUST A GRAPH SHOWING THE TREND OVER TIME OF OUR STAFF VERSUS THE POPULATION.

YOU CAN SEE BOTH ARE TRENDING UP. THERE WAS A LARGE POPULATION JUMP BETWEEN 24 AND 25, BUT WE'RE TRYING TO HELP STAY ON PACE WITH STAFFING LEVELS COMPARED TO POPULATION. YOU CAN SEE HERE WITH THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTS PER STAFF, IT HOVERED AT AROUND 140 TO 150. BUT WITH THE POPULATION INCREASES LAST YEAR, WE'RE CURRENTLY AT ABOUT 179 RESIDENTS PER STAFF MEMBER.

THE THIRD PRINCIPLE IS RESPONSIBLY MANAGE OR FOCUS AREAS, RESPONSIBLY MANAGING GROWTH. THAT OR FOURTH AREA AND THAT FOCUSES ON OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN. WE HAVE A TEN YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN, AND WE ALWAYS TRY AND TIME OUR DEBT ISSUANCE ISSUANCES SO THAT THEY ARE IN LINE WITH THE GROWTH IN THE PROPERTY TAX BASE OR ANY REVENUE SOURCES THAT WE'RE USING. WE TRY TO DIVERSIFY OUR REVENUE SOURCES. WE WANT TO HAVE A DIVERSITY OF THOSE, AND THEN WE COLLABORATE WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WHEN POSSIBLE. DENTON COUNTY IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THAT WITH SOME OF THE ROADS. AND THEN WE TRY TO BE CREATIVE IN HOW WE FINANCE DEBT SO THAT WE'RE NOT JUST RELYING ON PROPERTY TAX, BUT WHAT ELSE ARE THERE OTHER SOURCES? HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX FOR HOTEL REVENUE, BOND TOURS FOR OTHER THINGS. SO BUT WE TRY TO BE FLEXIBLE. WE TRY TO BE CREATIVE. AND THEN THIS IS JUST A QUICK LIST OF OUR CURRENT CAPITAL PROJECTS. WE'VE GOT A NUMBER OF WATER, ROAD, SEWER AND THEN BUILDING AND INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS THAT ARE ONGOING RIGHT NOW. AND WITH THAT, WE'LL HOP INTO JUST OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM PROJECTS. DREW'S GOING TO TAKE OVER FOR THIS. HE HAS A LITTLE BIT MORE CONTEXT BEHIND THE PROJECTS, AND THIS IS JUST KIND OF A FIRST GLIMPSE ABOUT WHAT'S COMING. I WANT TO MAKE A QUICK COMMENT, SINCE WE HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE HERE THAT ARE VYING TO BE ON A BOARD, THE THINGS THAT HE JUST TALKED ABOUT, THOSE BUDGET FOCUS AREAS, THOSE ARE THINGS THAT YOU'LL HAVE TO BE FAMILIAR WITH AND KEEP IN MIND WHEN YOU GO INTO YOUR MEETINGS, IF YOU GET ON A BOARD, BECAUSE WE EXPECT THAT THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS ARE WORKING, YOU KNOW, IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS US. SO IF YOU DON'T KNOW THOSE FOUR FOCUS AREAS, YOU GET APPOINTED TO A BOARD, FIND GEORGE OR JOHN. MAYOR COUNCIL. WE WANTED TO GET AHEAD ON A NUMBER OF THESE CAPITAL

[2.E. Briefing - Introduction of Public Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Dashboard ]

[00:40:08]

BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT POSSIBLY USING ROAD ASSESSMENT FEES BECAUSE ABOUT A THIRD OF THESE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE ARE NOT DON'T PAY PROPERTY TAXES IS WHAT WE USE TO FUND OUR ROADS. SO IT'S REALLY THE ONLY SOURCE WE HAVE FOR ROAD EXPENDITURES UNLESS WE GET A COUNTY PARTNERSHIP. ANOTHER PROJECT THAT WAS BROUGHT TO US BY THE CANYON FALLS HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION AND SOMETHING THAT'S IN DIRE NEED OF REPAIR IS RETAINING WALLS IN AND AROUND THE TRAIL SYSTEM THERE. THE TRAIL SYSTEM IS A GREAT ASSET TO CANYON FALLS, BUT ALSO TO ALL OF NORTH LAKE, AND IT IS PRETTY EXTENSIVE. IT'S ABOUT $1 MILLION REPAIR. AND THAT AMOUNT WOULD IS PROPOSED TO BE FUNDED FROM THE TRS. SO WE'LL AND IT WILL IT WILL OFFSET THE CURRENT REIMBURSEMENT STRUCTURE OF THE TRS FOR SOME OF THE MAINTENANCE EXPENSES. BUT WE'LL PRIORITIZE THE TOWN'S CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT AND GET REPAID FIRST FROM THE TRS FOR THIS MILLION. AND WE'D PROBABLY CHARGE A FED RATE INTEREST TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S A FAIR, FAIR COST AND PRICE ON THAT. OKAY. A QUESTION ON CANYON FALLS ISSUE. CAN ANY OF THOSE REPAIR COSTS BE SHARED WITH THE

[00:45:13]

THE, THE ALL THE FUN STUFF'S DONE THE NECESSARY STUFF AND ALL THOSE PROJECTS ARE NECESSARY.

BUT THIS ONE DEFINITELY WE HAVE REACHED A POINT WHERE OUR NORTHERN PRESSURE PLANE NEEDS TO BE SPLIT UP INTO A HIGH LEVEL AND A LOW LEVEL. I REMEMBER THE ROAD PROJECT AND THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT THE WATER LINES WERE DOING AND WHY WE HAD TO GO TO HAWTHORNE ESTATES.

THAT'S BASICALLY WHERE WE ISOLATE THE HIGH PRESSURE OF THE NORTHERN PLANE FROM THE LOW PRESSURE OF THE NORTHERN PLANE. SO WE HAVE ACQUIRED A SITE, COUNCIL HAS ACQUIRED A SITE. AND SO WE NEED TO BE WE NEED TO BEGIN DESIGNING AND BUILDING THIS TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE PRESSURES. WE'RE GOVERNED BY THE TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY, AND WE HAVE TO HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PRESSURES AND STORAGE TO MEET STATE REGULATIONS. SO THIS WILL BE A NECESSARY IMPROVEMENT THERE. AND HERE'S A RUNDOWN OF ALL THE PROJECTS. AGAIN SOME OF THESE ARE PROPORTIONAL COSTS. SOME OF THESE WILL BE FROM THE UTILITY FUND. SOME OF THESE WILL BE SHARED. BUT THAT'S AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. IS THERE SOMETHING THAT'S NOT ON HERE. IS THERE SOMETHING ON HERE THAT THAT YOU DON'T THINK IS NECESSARY. AND AGAIN WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE HOA A LITTLE LATER TONIGHT AND WE'LL BRING IT. WE'LL CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT THIS THROUGH ALL THOSE MULTIPLE BUDGET MEETINGS THAT JOHN HAD SHOWED YOU ON THE CALENDAR. COUNCIL. POTTS, IS THERE ANYTHING MISSING FROM THIS? I THINK THE ROAD CONSTRUCTION IS A MUST IN MY MIND. YEAH. I MEAN, FLORENCE ROAD, WE KNEW THAT THAT WAS GOING TO COME BACK AROUND. I DIRECTED STAFF LAST YEAR TO START THINKING ABOUT IT FOR THIS BUDGET YEAR. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. WE DEFINITELY NEED TO GET ON THAT ONE. IT WILL HELP AVOID SOME ISSUES IN STARDUST AS WELL. I THINK IT'S A VERY CLEAN GOAL SHEET PERSONALLY. MERYL DID YOU HAVE SOME? YEAH. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU ADDING THE COMMONS TRAIL CONNECTOR. IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S PERSONALLY IMPORTANT TO ME AND TO THE COMMUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT CONNECTIVITY, ESPECIALLY TO GET TO THE COMMONS IN A SAFE MANNER BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DO IT ANYWAYS. SO LET'S PROVIDE THEM A SAFE WAY TO DO IT. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT ONE. I AGREE, I THINK THAT ANY OF THE ROAD CONSTRUCTION THAT WE HAVE CONTROL OVER, WE ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO DO, BECAUSE THE STUFF THAT WE DON'T HAVE CONTROL OVER IS DOING ITS OWN THING. YEAH. I THOUGHT YOU WERE FINISHED. SORRY. AND THEN I REALLY APPRECIATE THE INVESTMENT AND FOCUS IN THE INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF THE TOWN, BECAUSE I THINK THE MORE THAT YOU CAN TRAVEL THROUGHOUT DIFFERENT WAYS IN THE TOWN, IT TAKES TRAFFIC OFF OF OUR MAIN THOROUGHFARES AND IT MAKES IT A MORE CONNECTED, GETS PEOPLE TO SPEND MONEY. HONESTLY, YOU KNOW, MOST OF OUR MAIN THOROUGHFARES, AS YOU KNOW, ARE CONTROLLED BY TEX DOT. SO IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO MOVE THE BALL. I KNOW ALL THE COUNCIL IS INTERESTED IN THAT, ESPECIALLY THE MAYOR, TO TRY TO MOVE THOSE FORWARD, TO EXPEDITE THOSE. AND SO, YEAH, A LOT OF THIS IS INTERNAL MOVEMENT WHICH WHICH WILL HELP WITH THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARES. COUNCIL MEMBER GAINES, ARE ANY OF THESE PROPOSED ROAD PROJECTS WILL ANY BE IMPACTED BY THAT HOUSE BILL. ALL OF THEM. ALL OF THEM. YEAH.

[00:50:07]

WE'D BE LOCKED OUT FOR PROBABLY TEN YEARS BEFORE WE COULD DO ANY ROAD PROJECT. YEAH, THIS IS STUFF THAT WE MAY HAVE TO GET A LITTLE CREATIVE THIS SESSION AND BUDGETING AND TIMELINES. AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE STAFF THAT IF EVERYBODY'S ON BOARD, WE START LOOKING AT THESE BONDS SOONER THAN LATER. THANK YOU SIR. YEAH WE MAY COME BACK IN AUGUST AND GET IT BEFORE THE DEADLINE. AND THEN WE AND THEN WE WON'T BE ABLE TO ISSUE FOR 20 YEARS. BUT YEAH, UNLESS WE GO TO ELECTION.

RIGHT. YEAH. SOME STUFF'S ELECTION BASED AND, AND THAT'S ANOTHER OPTION TOO. WE COULD PUT ALL THESE ON A BOND ELECTION, AT LEAST THE ROAD PROJECTS AND THE TRAIL PROJECTS IF YOU'D LIKE TO DO THAT AS WELL. SO WE COULD SEE HOW THE LEGISLATION GOES. WE'LL MEET WITH YOU AGAIN. WOULD YOU LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THESE OR DO WE WANT TO GO OUT FOR A BOND ELECTION OR SOME COMBINATION OF BOTH? AND SO ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS THAT ARE HERE ARE FUTURE BOARD MEMBERS. THIS IS WHERE COUNCIL PUTS TRUST IN YOU GUYS TO ALSO BE ADVOCATES FOR THE TOWN. RIGHT. BEING OUT THERE AND GETTING INVOLVED IN YOUR COMMUNITIES BECAUSE YOU'RE STARTING TO SEE HOW IMPORTANT THE LEGISLATION IS AND HOW MUCH THEY CAN AFFECT THE CITY AND OUR FUNDING. AND THEY'RE PUNISHING BIG CITIES. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THEY'RE PUNISHING THE CITIES THAT ARE DOING THINGS CORRECTLY, LIKE OURSELVES. SO IT'S A MAJOR PUSH THIS YEAR IN THE LEGISLATURE TO KIND OF CUT THE HANDS OFF COUNCILS AND, YOU KNOW, DO THINGS THE AUSTIN WAY. AND WE ALL KNOW THE AUSTIN WAY IS NOT THE BEST WAY. SO I APPRECIATE THE PROJECT LIST. I THINK IT'S FAIR. IT'S TIMELY.

AND I'D SAY PROCEED WITH THIS. I ALSO WANT TO NOTE JUST FOR COUNCIL, IN THE INTEREST OF BUDGET PLANNING, AS WE TALKED ABOUT, THIS IS THE TIME NOT NOT AUGUST, NOT NOT THE MONTH, NOT JULY TO PUT IN YOUR PRIORITIES. IF YOU HAVE PRIORITY, EVEN IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE COUNCIL SUPPORTS YOU, PUT IT IN THE STAFF SO THEY CAN INVESTIGATE IT. THEY CAN LOOK AT THE PROBABLE COST AND WE CAN GET A REAL LOOK AT THOSE NUMBERS AHEAD OF TIME. SO WE'RE NOT SCRAMBLING AT THE LAST MINUTE. SO PLEASE LET STAFF KNOW SO THAT THEY'RE NOT GETTING THE LAST MINUTE. HE, WHAT IF WE JUST DID THIS. YOU KNOW, IT'S VERY HARD FOR THEM TO DO A BUDGET THAT WAY. SO JUST THE NEXT BEST THING TO AN INDIVIDUAL ELECTION FOR EACH OF THESE THINGS IS OUR RESIDENT SURVEY THAT WE JUST DID. AND IF YOU LOOK AT EVEN JUST THE SUMMARY, IT'S ALL ROAD, ROAD, ROAD, ROAD, ROAD, ROAD. SO I THINK WE AND THEN INFRASTRUCTURE. SO I THINK WE GOT THE GREEN LIGHT LAST POINT ON THIS I KNOW SOMEBODY'S OUT THERE WATCHING THIS ONLINE IS THINKING ABOUT THE REST OF MULKEY ROAD THAT WASN'T HIGHLIGHTED. THAT'S GETTING SLATED TO START FAIRLY SOON THROUGH THE DEVELOPER TO BE FULLY RECONSTRUCTED. SO ALL RIGHT, SO I HAVE A QUESTION TOO. SO IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'LL GO THROUGH SOME OF THIS LATER WITH THE CANYON FALLS TRAIL AS WELL. BUT THAT SEEMS TO BE FROM JUST KNOWING THAT A PRETTY RECENT ADDITION IN THAT AREA TO THE WAY THAT IT WAS BUILT RECENTLY OR REPAIRED RECENTLY BY THE DEVELOPER. AND SO, LIKE WONDERING IF IT WAS RESEARCHED, IF ANY OF THAT WAS UNDER THERE.

THE WHEN THE DEVELOPER BUILT IT, HOW LONG THAT SHOULD BE LASTING VERSUS BEING, YOU KNOW, IT SHOULD LAST MORE THAN A FEW YEARS BEFORE IT'S NEEDED FOR THOSE FOR THE FOR THE WAY THAT IT WAS BUILT BEING BUILT PROPERLY. YEAH. IT'S BEEN ABOUT IT'S BEEN ABOUT TEN YEARS. AND SO ALL THE, ALL THE WARRANTIES AND STUFF ARE OFF. BUT I DON'T BELIEVE FOR THIS AREA THERE HAS BEEN ANY ACTIVITY. THERE IS SOME NEW DEVELOPMENT ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF CANYON FALLS, THE MONARCH AREA. BUT YEAH, ANY ANY AVENUE WE HAD TO OR WOULD HAVE TO HOLD SOMEBODY ACCOUNTABLE.

YES, SIR. ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON. SO MAJOR WILL BE WALKING UP AND DISCUSS THIS GREAT NEW DASHBOARD, AND HOPEFULLY IT GETS USED MORE THAN OUR BUDGET DASHBOARD. SO MAJORS RIGHT HERE.

COME ON TAKE IT AWAY. OKAY. SO GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, MAJOR YOUNGBLOOD, DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES. SO IT'S NICE TO BE WITH YOU THIS EVENING AS I INTRODUCE THE NEW CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM DASHBOARD FOR Y'ALL. I'M ALSO GOING TO BE WALKING THROUGH SOME UPDATES FOR OUR CIP PROJECTS. SO WE SAW ALREADY OUR COMPLETED PROJECTS AND OUR PROPOSED PROJECTS. I'LL BE KIND OF WALKING THROUGH THAT AS WELL. SO JUST A LITTLE BIT OF A BACKGROUND. THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, ALSO KNOWN AS THE CIP, IS A FIVE YEAR PLAN.

[00:55:03]

THEY COULD OBVIOUSLY CALL UP OR DO PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUESTS TO GET INFORMATION, BUT THIS WILL BE A LOT MORE BETTER FOR STREAMLINED TRACKING FOR PROJECTS, BECAUSE THEY'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THE PROJECTS MORE SO IN REAL TIME, AS OPPOSED TO MORE STATIC APPROACH TO CIP. SO SOME KEY FEATURES I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT HERE IS THE ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE, PROJECT PROGRESS, BUDGET AND EXPENDITURE, AND SOME OF THE NOTABLE STATUS UPDATES. THESE ARE ALL GOING TO BE SHOWN FOR EACH PROJECT WITHIN THE DASHBOARD. SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE KEY COMPONENTS TO THE DASHBOARD. SO FOR ANY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT THEY TEND TO FOLLOW THE SAME LIFE CYCLE. THEY BEGIN AT THAT PLANNING PHASE. I'LL CLOSE OUT WITH THE ENDING PHASE OF THEIR LIFE OF A PROJECT. SO THE GOOD THING ABOUT THIS DASHBOARD IS THAT IT WILL ACTUALLY SHOW THE PUBLIC WHERE PROJECT PARTICULARLY IS IN ITS PHASE. CURRENTLY, LOOKING AT THESE EIGHT DIFFERENT PROJECT PHASES, THERE ARE MANY TASKS THAT FOLLOWS THESE PLANNING PHASES, THESE TASKS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH EACH OF THESE PHASES ARE ACTUALLY DRIVING THE PERCENTAGE COMPLETION. SO AS I GO THROUGH THE DEMO, YOU'LL SEE YOU'LL SEE THE PERCENT PROGRESS COMPLETION TOWARDS THOSE PROJECTS. AND THAT'S KIND OF WHAT'S DRIVING THAT AS WE GET IN THERE. OKAY. SO BEFORE WE JUMP INTO THE DEMO, I JUST KIND OF WANT TO SHOW YOU WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ON THE KIND OF STATIC PAGE ONCE YOU ACCESS THE DASHBOARD IS LOCATED ON THE TOWN'S WEBSITE'S CURRENTLY LIVE AS OF NOW, SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY ACCESS IT. YOU'LL SEE THE NUMBER OF PROJECTS, THE PERCENT THAT'S ON SCHEDULE, AND THE PERCENT THAT'S ON BUDGET, AS WELL AS ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE.

YOU'LL SEE THE ACTUAL PROJECT NAMES, THE STATUS OF THE PROJECT, AND YOU CAN SEE THE LEGEND HERE THAT KIND OF CORRESPONDS TO WHAT THAT MEANS. AND THEN YOU CAN SEE WHETHER OR NOT A BUDGET, I MEAN, A PROJECT IS ON BUDGET OR NOT. IF IT'S MISSING INDICATOR FOR THE BUDGET, IT JUST MEANS THAT THIS PROJECT DOESN'T HAVE ANY EXPENDITURES AT THIS TIME. OKAY.

SO NOW I'LL JUST START OFF KIND OF JUST WALKING YOU THROUGH A FEW PROJECTS HERE OFF THE BACK.

SO STARTING OFF WITH OUR HOTEL CONFERENCE CENTER. SO AS YOU CAN SEE THIS PROJECT IS ON TRACK.

HAS ESTIMATED COMPLETION OF FALL 2025. THE COMPLETION PROCESS PROGRESS IS ABOUT 72%, WHICH IS PRETTY IDEAL CONSIDERING WHAT PHASE IT'S CURRENTLY IN. THE ACTUAL BUDGET IS A LITTLE BIT OVER 7.8 MILLION, WITH THE EXPENDITURE BEING ABOUT 1.9 MILLION. WITHIN THIS DASHBOARD, YOU'RE ABLE TO SEE PHOTOS, SO YOU'LL SEE THE MOST RECENT PHOTOS THAT WE'VE TAKEN FOR THESE PROJECTS, ALONG WITH THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTO AS WELL AS THE DATE THAT THE PHOTO WAS TAKEN ON. WE'LL OFTENTIMES INCLUDE RENDERINGS TO WHEN WE GET THOSE RENDERINGS, SO THEY'LL COME FIRST, AND THEN WE'LL START GETTING SOME PICTURES IN THERE. ALSO, YOU'LL SEE A DESCRIPTION FOR EACH PROJECT AS YOU SCROLL DOWN, AS WELL AS A MAP, SO YOU CAN SEE WHERE THAT PROJECT IS IN PROXIMITY TO NORTH LAKE AS A WHOLE. SO WITH THIS PROJECT FOR THE HOTEL CONFERENCE CENTER, NEXT STEPS PRETTY MUCH WILL BE COMPLETING THE PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL INTERIOR FINISHES AND THE LANDSCAPING FOR THIS PROJECT. OKAY. SO THE PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING, AS YOU CAN SEE THIS IS ON TRACK AS WELL. ESTIMATED COMPLETION OF FALL 26. THIS PROJECT IS IN THE PLANNING PHASE. THE DESIGN TEAM HAS ACTUALLY BEEN SELECTED TO. THE NEXT STEP FOR THIS PROJECT IS REALLY TO EXECUTE THAT DESIGN CONTRACT. AND THEN WE COULD START ON THE EARLY DESIGN PHASE OF THIS PROJECT. OKAY. SO OUR CENTER HERE PROJECTS ON TRACK. ESTIMATED COMPLETION WILL BE SUMMER OF 26. IN THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE YOU'LL SEE HERE WE HAVE SOME NEW PHOTOS FOR Y'ALL. THIS PROJECT IS CARRYING ON PRETTY GREAT ACTUALLY. IT'S NOW IN THE PROCESS WHERE THE EARTHWORK HAS BEEN COMPLETED. UTILITIES HAVE BEEN COMPLETED, SO NOW IT'S JUST REALLY. NEXT UP IS GOING TO BE CONTINUING THE PAVING, FOUNDATIONAL WORK AND PLUMBING ASSOCIATED WITH THIS.

OKAY. AND THIS ONE ALSO HAS SOME REALLY NICE RENDERINGS TO TAKE A LOOK AT AS WELL. OKAY. SO THIS IS THIS OUR CENTER INFRASTRUCTURE. AND PRETTY MUCH THIS IS JUST ESSENTIALLY THE

[01:00:01]

[2.F. Briefing - Traffic Signs and Marking Crew Update]

THANK YOU, MAYOR, AND THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. JUST WANT TO GO OVER THE UPDATES. WHAT WE'VE DONE SINCE THIS PROGRAM STARTED LAST YEAR. ONCE THE BUDGET WAS APPROVED, STAFF IN OCTOBER PUT OUT SOME REQUESTS FOR SOME EQUIPMENT AND WE PURCHASED THE F250 PICKUP TRUCK UTILITY BOXES ON THERE. WE HAD AN EXISTING TRAILER ON SITE, AND WE'RE ABLE TO RETROFIT THAT TRAILER WITHOUT HAVING TO PURCHASE A NEW TRAILER. THIS ALLOWS BOTH FOR STORAGE, TRANSPORT OF REQUIRED SUPPLIES, AND EXTRA BUFFER FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL FOR THE STAFF OUT IN THE FIELD. AND WE LOOKED AT A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT PIECES OF EQUIPMENT FOR THE STRIPING PORTION. THIS GRECO LINE LASER, IT'S WIDELY USED FROM CONTRACTORS TO SOME CITIES DOING DOING KIND OF WHAT WE'RE DOING.

AND PARTS ARE READILY AVAILABLE. AND IT'S OUR NORMAL VENDOR THAT WE USE. SO WE'VE HAD GOOD SUCCESS FOR THIS. WE HAVE THREE GUNS. WE CAN DO MULTIPLE COLORS YELLOW, WHITE, BLACK JUST WITH THE KIND OF A PUSH BUTTON ON THERE. THIS ALLOWS FOR LONG STRIPING PROJECTS QUARTER MILE WITHOUT HAVING TO STOP. WE PUT PAINT BACK IN THE MACHINE AND THIS HAS PREPROGRAMED OPTIONS FOR STRIPING PROJECTS WHERE YOU CAN DO DOUBLE YELLOW STITCH, WHITE STITCH YELLOW. SO THERE'S A NUMBER OF OPTIONS ON THERE THAT ARE ALREADY PREPROGRAMED, WHICH MAKES IT A LOT MORE USER FRIENDLY. AND YOU CAN SEE SOME STOP LEGEND THERE WITH THE STOP BAR. THIS HAS A ALSO HAS A DETACHABLE GUN THAT COMES OFF OF THE MACHINE ITSELF. WE CAN PULL IT OUT OF THE OUT OF THE TRAILER ON A REEL WITHOUT HAVING TO TAKE A UNIT, THE WHOLE UNIT OUTSIDE OF THE TRUCK. SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT FASTER FOR US TO DO THESE DOING STOP STENCILS. AND WE CAN ALSO DO YIELD ARROWS. AND THERE'S QUITE A FEW OTHER STENCILS. IF THEY'RE OUT THERE WE'LL, WE'LL PAINT THEM. AND THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT THEY'RE DOING RIGHT NOW. REPAINTING THE FADED MARKINGS. AND WE ARE STARTING MAJORITY RIGHT NOW OF THE STOP LEGENDS AND STOP BARS. WE WANT TO GET THOSE KIND OF

[01:05:03]

AND THAT INCLUDES THE TRAFFIC REFLECTORS THAT ARE OUT IN THE ROADWAY. AND THIS IS THE CREW.

THEY'RE DOING SOME THE STOP BAR RIGHT HERE. TYPICALLY THEY'RE DOING THE STOP BAR FIRST. THEN THEY PUT THE LEGEND. LEGEND OUT. THIS HERE WAS BEFORE WE GOT THE REEL ON THERE. SO THIS WAS WHEN THEY WERE STILL TAKING THE MACHINE OUT OF THE TRUCK TO DO THE WORK. SO FAR WE'VE DONE 14 STOP BARS, 14 LEGENDS AND 7900FT LINEAR FEET OF CENTERLINE PAINTING. SO THE GUYS SPENT A LOT OF TIME. DOING TRAINING ON THIS. YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T WANT TO SEND THEM OUT IN THE FIELD WITH WITH NOT KNOWING HOW TO USE THE MACHINE AND HAVE PAINT MESS UP OUT OUT ON SITE. SO AND WE'VE ALSO BEEN DOING SOME BARRICADES WITH THE NEW CLEVELAND GIBBS OVER HERE, THE REALIGNMENT OF CLEVELAND GIBBS. WE PUT SOME ROAD CLOSED SIGNS OVER THERE. WE'VE DONE 27 NEW INSTALLATIONS, 43 MAINTAINED AND REPAIRED, 58 DELINEATORS INSTALLED. FUTURE PLAN PROJECTS THAT WE'RE STILL DOING IS ADDING THE STOP BARS TO ALL INTERSECTIONS. THAT'S A STANDARD. WE DO THE OPTIONAL WHAT THE TEXAS MANUAL DOES WITH THE LEGEND OF THE STOP PAINTED ON THE GROUND AS WELL, THAT THAT'S AN OPTION, BUT WE SEE IT AS A GOOD OPTION TO DO SO. WE DO THAT. SO AND IF YOU LOOK IN THE MANUAL, IT'S, IT'S CLEARLY STATED IN THERE THAT WE CAN DO SO. SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE ROADS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. WE'RE GOING TO BE RESTRIPING CLEVELAND GIBBS, CHADWICK PARKWAY RACEWAY. AND BASICALLY WE'RE GOING TO FOCUS ON THE SOUTH END OF TOWN, TRY TO KNOCK THAT ALL OUT, AND THEN WE'LL START MOVING NORTH. AND, YOU KNOW, HIT EVERY SUBDIVISION IS GOING TO BE DONE. ANYTHING THAT'S CURRENTLY OUT THERE, WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO REPAINT. AND THEN AFTER REPAINT WE'LL GO BACK OUT AND DO THE TRAFFIC REFLECTORS ON THE ROAD. WE'LL WE'LL POP THE OLD ONES OFF THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD TO GAIN INFORMATION. I THOUGHT THAT WAS ME. I'D HAD ENOUGH TO GO BACK. YES, SIR. SO, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE OUR PRIORITIES, BUT WHAT ARE YOUR PRIORITIES? IS THERE PARTICULAR AREAS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE US TO FOCUS ON? OBVIOUSLY, THE SOUTHERN PART OF TOWN IS THE OLDEST PART OF TOWN. IT'S IN THE MOST DIRE NEED OF STRIPING. BUT IF THERE'S SOME OTHER AREAS THAT YOU'D LIKE US TO FOCUS ON, PLEASE LET US KNOW. I HAVE A QUESTION REAL QUICK. YOU SAID POTENTIALLY GOING INTO SUBDIVISIONS AND NEIGHBORHOODS. YES, SIR. WE'VE ALREADY STARTED THAT. OKAY, WHAT IF THERE IS A SUBDIVISION OR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT DOES NOT WANT THE STRIPING, THE STOP BARS OR THE STRIPING STOP BARS? DOESN'T WANT THE STOP OR THE STOP SIGNALING OR THE STENCIL, WE WE'D FOLLOW WHATEVER COUNCIL'S WILL IS ON THAT. BUT OUR GOAL IS ESPECIALLY THE STOP BARS, THEY ARE REQUIRED. THE STOP STENCIL IS OPTIONAL. WE'VE WE'VE HEARD COMPLAINTS AND HEARD FROM MANY OF YOU THAT PEOPLE ARE ROLLING THROUGH STOP SIGNS, AND WE'RE JUST TRYING TO DO OUR BEST TO MAKE IT AS VISUALLY STRIKING THAT THIS IS A STOP SIGN AND THERE MAY BE PEDESTRIANS. AND SO IT'S JUST JUST FOR MY CLARIFICATION THAT WE I HAVE HAD SOME RESIDENTS RAISE CONCERNS ABOUT THEY DON'T WANT STRIPING IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS. NO. IS IT STRIPING OR I GUESS I'M USING THE WRONG TERMS. STOP BARS. STOP BARS? YES. STOP BARS. WE ARE GOING TO GO THROUGH AND PUT THOSE AT STOP SIGNS. BUT IF COUNCIL DIRECTS US, WE YOU KNOW, IF THAT'S NOT A PRIORITY OR IF WE HAVE PLENTY OF OTHER JOBS TO

[01:10:02]

LIKE YOU'RE SAYING NO LINES IN THOSE TYPE OF NEIGHBORHOODS OR THOSE ROADS. THE LARGER ROADS ARE, YOU KNOW, DEFINITELY MAKE SENSE. AND BUT IN SOME OF THOSE RURAL, RESIDENTIAL LIKE NEIGHBORHOODS, IT TAKES AWAY FROM THE POINT OF HAVING THAT THAT SPREAD OUT SPACE.

UNDERSTOOD. SO DID WE ALREADY DO PECAN PARKWAY AT ELM? THE PARKWAY IN ELM? I DON'T THINK SO, I DON'T REMEMBER, WE HAVEN'T DONE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BY THE DEVELOPER. OKAY. MOST OF THESE NEW ROADS ARE IF THEY WERE REQUIRED TO HAVE STRIPES OR STRIPES BY BY THE CONTRACTORS WHEN THEY FIRST BUILT. OKAY. SO THE STOP BAR AND THE STOP STENCIL ON THE STOP SIGNS ON ELM AND PECAN PARKWAY SPECIFICALLY ARE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I GET THE MOST FEEDBACK ON BECAUSE SINCE THERE'S NOT A STOP SIGN AT EVERY INTERSECTION ON THOSE ROADS, PEOPLE BLOW, BLOW THROUGH, BLOW THROUGH THEM, AND THAT I GET THE MOST MESSAGES ABOUT THAT. SO I WOULD I WOULD ASK THAT PECAN PARKWAY AND ELM, IF THERE'S OTHER STUFF TO ADD, THEN FOR SURE, BUT THAT ONE IS I. WE WATCH EVERY DAY. PEOPLE FLY THROUGH IT. OKAY. WE CAN GET THAT WITH THE DEVELOPER ON THAT.

THEY'RE THEY'VE BEEN HANDLING INTERNAL SIGNS AND STRIPING AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO I CAN GET WITH HILLWOOD AND, AND WE CAN LOOK INTO THAT. YEAH. THE STOP BARS AND STOP SIGN ARE PRETTY STANDARD ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY AND FAIRLY WELL NEEDED, I WOULD SAY THE STENCILING OF THE WORD STOP. I CAN SEE WHERE SOME COMMUNITIES MAY OR MAY NOT WANT THAT. MOST IMPORTANT PROJECTS FOR ME, AS YOU AND I HAVE DISCUSSED, BUT TO SHARE WITH COUNCIL, WE TALKED ABOUT LAST YEAR LANE DIETING, WHICH IS THE NARROWING OF ROAD THROUGH PAINT AND STRIPES ON WESTBRIDGE AND ON BRIARWOOD, ARE MY TWO TOP HIGH SPEEDING ROADS, HIGH TRAFFIC INFRACTION ROADS THAT THE LANE DIETING, WHICH IS JUST STRIPING THOSE IN SOMEWHAT WILL HELP PEOPLE GO, HEY, I GOTTA STAY IN MY LANE AND IT CAUSES THEM TO SLOW DOWN A LITTLE BIT. SO THAT'S THAT'S MY TWO. I THINK WESTBRIDGE WOULD BE NUMBER ONE ON THAT TO LOOK AT THAT ONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I'D LIKE WE'LL PUT THAT ONE ON THE LIST FOR THIS SUMMER. YEAH. IF THERE'S VERY SPECIFIC POLICIES OBVIOUSLY HE NEEDS DIRECTION. SO I WOULD SAY FOR NEXT NEXT MEETING IF YOU GUYS WANT TO SEND IN A PRIORITIES OR CONCERNS, SEND THOSE IN TO DREW. SO WE CAN KIND OF SUMMARIZE THOSE, FOCUS ON WHAT NEEDS TO BE FOCUSED ON AND TAKE SOME ACTION ON THOSE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. SO SEND THOSE IN IF YOU HAVE CONCERNS AND WE'LL LOOK AT THOSE THEN. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? SO YOU WANT A FORMAL VOTE ON WROTE PRIORITIES. IT CAN BE CONSENSUS. OR IF WE HAVE TO GO TO A VOTE YOU KNOW WE WILL. BUT OKAY, I'LL I'LL SEE WHAT THE INPUT IS. AND IF IT'S RELATIVELY. THERE'S NOT MUCH CONFLICT. WE CAN LOOK AT THAT. DO I HEAR EARLY CONSENSUS THAT THE RURAL ESTATE AND RURAL RESIDENTIAL YOU WANT MINIMAL STRIPING. AND IN THE MASTER PLAN COMMUNITIES YOU WANT STOP BARS AT THE MINIMUM FOR PEDESTRIAN SAFETY. THAT'S MY PERSPECTIVE. I WOULD SAY THE RURAL RESIDENTIAL THE LEAST AMOUNT AS REQUIRED. YEAH, WHATEVER IS REQUIRED, WE HAVE TO REQUIRE IT. BUT ANYTHING

[01:15:03]

BECAUSE WE HAVE PRETTY CLEAR LIKE EXAMPLES OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN PRETTY QUICKLY IF WE DON'T HAVE CLEAR STOP SIGNAGE. SO I THINK THAT ONE'S LIKE A I AGREE WITH ELM AND THOSE ROADS. YEAH, THERE'S BEEN MORE THAN ENOUGH RESIDENTS CONTACTING ME TO JUST JUSTIFY THAT RIGHT NOW. TODAY.

YEAH, I AGREE AS WELL. OKAY. DO WE HAVE CONSENSUS ON AT LEAST ELM AND WHATNOT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH? I THINK ENOUGH RESIDENTS HAVE COMPLAINED ON THAT ONE. I THINK WE'RE STILL HUNG UP ON STOP BARS, BUT WE'LL, WE'LL WE'LL PUT TOGETHER ALL YOUR THOUGHTS AND TRY TO COME UP WITH AN ACTION ITEM FOR YOU. ALL RIGHT. DIRECTION. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, ERIC. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR HIM? AND JUST THIS LAST SLIDE HERE. IT'S JUST THE DELINEATORS THAT WE PUT OUT OVER HERE ON CLEVELAND GIBBS WITH THE CROSSOVER IS GOING TO BE WITH THE NEW ALIGNMENT OVER THERE. BUT YOU KNOW WE DO WANT THE INPUT AND WHATEVER DIRECTION WE GO WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO IT. SO THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT PROGRAM. AND YOU KNOW, GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO FUND THIS FOR THIS YEAR HAS BEEN GREAT. SO THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT

[3. PUBLIC INPUT (Part 2 of 2)]

YES. SO ANY PUBLIC INPUT THAT I HAVE FOR THE CLEVELAND GIBBS, A ROAD RENAMING. I'M JUST GOING TO CHECK HERE REAL QUICK. MISS FOWLER, WOULD YOU LIKE TO WAIT TO THAT PUBLIC INPUT OR. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I HAVE ONE MORE FOR STREET NAME, MR. LIPSCOMB. YOU CAN WAIT FOR PUBLIC. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I APPRECIATE THAT. THAT'LL HELP KEEP US FOCUSED. ALL RIGHT.

WITH THAT, MR. MACGREGOR? JOEL MACGREGOR, 8921 EAST, SAM LEE LANE. AND MOST OF MINE IS ON THE STREET RENAMING. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT SINCE WE HAVE PEOPLE HERE TO DO THAT, AND IT'S AT THE VERY END OF THE AGENDA, COULD WE MOVE THAT UP TO THE FIRST THING AND SO THAT THEY COULD LEAVE IF THEY NEED TO? POSSIBLY. I NEED TO GET THROUGH THE BOARDS AS WELL. SO. OKAY.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I'LL, I'LL RESERVE THAT FOR THE PUBLIC INPUT. TODD, WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK ON THE NORTH LAKE TERS ITEM, I BELIEVE, BUT YOU'RE FREE TO SPEAK ABOUT ANYTHING. YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. GOOD. YOU GOT IT, TODD. EXCUSE ME. TEN 845 PEDERNALES FALLS DRIVE IN FLOWER MOUND. WELL, I'M A FLOWER MOUND RESIDENT. I'M A CANYON FALLS RESIDENT. AND I REPRESENTING THE BOARD HERE AS WELL TONIGHT. I REGULARLY USE THE WALKING TRAILS, AND IT'S A RARE OCCASION WHEN I WALK BY AND SOMEONE ISN'T AT THE NEARBY PLAYGROUND OR WITH THE SPLASH PAD. THIS IS TRULY A SOLID NORTH LAKE ASSET THAT BENEFITS THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. I KNOW YOU GUYS MENTIONED THIS TODAY DURING YOUR SIP. AS FAR AS SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY LOOKING TO DO ON THERE, AND MR. GAINES, YOU HAD MENTIONED ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THIS WAS ACTUALLY A HOMEOWNER THING. SO LET ME TALK ABOUT THAT JUST AS WELL AS WE GO THROUGH HERE. SO IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE WAS A TOURS AGREEMENT THAT WAS NEGOTIATED BETWEEN THE DEVELOPER AND THE TOWN OF NORTH LAKE, AND I GUESS YOU GUYS LEARNED A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT SOME OF THE CONTENTS OF THAT DURING YOUR EXECUTIVE SESSION. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ADDITIONAL WARRANTIES AND PROVISIONS WERE AGREED TO, BUT IT'S APPARENT THAT AN ISSUE EXISTS. THE CANYON FALLS HOA NOR. THE RESIDENTS HAVE THE CAPITAL ESTIMATED OVER $1 MILLION TO INITIATE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS TO FIX THE RETAINING WALLS IN QUESTION. I KNOW THERE WAS A MENTION ABOUT POSSIBLE WARRANTY. I MOVED IN IN 2016. I DON'T THINK THAT AREA

[01:20:04]

INTRODUCING YOURSELF AS WELL. IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE? THAT'S ALL THE PAPERS I HAVE FOR PUBLIC INPUT I. OH, MAYBE THERE'S POSSIBILITY IT GOT BURIED. I HAD A TON TODAY, SO PLEASE COME ON UP, SIR. OKAY. MY NAME IS STEVEN. MY NAME IS STEVEN DICA, 3800 DRIFTWOOD LANE IN NORTHLAKE. SO I AM A NORTHLAKE RESIDENT. I'M A CANYON FALLS RESIDENT. I AM ALSO ON THE HOA BOARD FOR THE CANYON FALLS ON THE TREASURE. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THIS TOPIC UP THIS EVENING AND I'LL ECHO TODD'S. THANKS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO CAME OUT OR CALLED AND SAW IT, BECAUSE I'M OF THE SAME MINDSET AS TODD IS SEEING IS BELIEVING. AND WHEN I WAS A MANAGER, IT WAS ALWAYS, GET WITH YOUR PEOPLE, SEE WHAT'S GOING ON ON THE GROUND SO THAT YOU KNOW WHAT'S REALLY THERE RATHER THAN JUST HEARING TALES. I'M HERE TO ASK ALL OF YOU TO WORK WITH US TONIGHT AND WITH THE REST OF THE TOWN TO FIND A REASONABLE WAY TO TAKE CARE OF THE REPAIRS THAT ARE DESPERATELY NEEDED TO THE RETAINING WALL AND THE BRIDGE AREA BEHIND THE CANYON FALLS COMMUNITY CENTER, WHICH IS NORTH LAKE PROPERTY. THESE AREAS WERE BUILT ON THE TOWN PROPERTY FOR USE BY EVERYONE RESIDENTS OF CANYON FALLS, RESIDENTS OF NORTHLAKE, AND REALLY ANYONE WHO WANTS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEM. THEY WERE BUILT BY THE DEVELOPER WITH AN AGREEMENT FROM THE TOWN TO PAY THE DEVELOPER BACK. AND I HAVE LOOKED THROUGH THE CONTRACT AND I KNOW THE ORDER OF PAYMENT AND WHATNOT THAT'S ON THERE. ADDITIONALLY, AN AGREEMENT WAS SIGNED BETWEEN THE HOA, WHO IN 2018 WAS ALSO THE DEVELOPER. THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR THAT WE HAVE AN OWNER BOARD FOR CANYON FALLS AND THE TOWN FOR THE HOA TO MAINTAIN THESE PROPERTIES, AND NORTH LAKE CREATED THE TOURS AREA TO COLLECT TAXES TO PAY FOR THE HOA FOR THE MAINTENANCE. THEY DID AND PAID THE DEVELOPER FOR PUTTING THESE IN PLACE IN THE TOWN, WHICH DOESN'T HAVE A ACCORDING. WHEN I TALKED TO DREW, YOU DON'T HAVE A PARK AND REC DEPARTMENT HERE, SO THIS KIND OF STUFF IS DONE TO TAKE CARE OF THAT. AS MR. COHEN ALSO SAID, WHEN THIS AGREEMENT WAS PUT IN PLACE AND ALL, NOBODY REALLY HAD AN IDEA THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE THIS LARGE OF A THING. IT WAS GOING TO BE, HEY, CUT THE GRASS, MAINTAIN THE TRAILS A LITTLE BIT, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. AND NEITHER THE HOA NOR THE TOWN APPARENTLY UNDERSTOOD THE SIZE OF SOME OF THIS. THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.

HAPPY THAT MR. KORN CAME AND VISITED US AS WELL, AND HAD THE TOWN ENGINEER COME OUT AND DO THE ESTIMATES, BECAUSE WE WERE STRUGGLING TO HAVE US GET PEOPLE TO GIVE US ESTIMATES FOR THE TYPES. WHEN WE STARTED LOOKING AT IT. I CAN ECHO WHAT TODD SAYS. WE DON'T HAVE $1 MILLION IN THE HOA TO PUT INTO THE REPAIRS FOR THESE STRUCTURES AND THEN WAIT TWO, THREE, FOUR YEARS, WHATEVER IT WOULD TAKE TO REIMBURSE CANYON FALLS FOR THOSE THROUGH THE TOURS AGREEMENT.

ADDITIONALLY, DURING THIS TIME, WE ALSO SPEND OTHER MONEY DOING THE REGULAR DAY TO DAY MAINTENANCE ON THE TOURS AREAS, WHICH LAST YEAR CAME TO CLOSE TO $200,000 THAT WE'RE PUTTING OUT UP FRONT, AND HAVING TO WAIT ANYWHERE FROM 15, 12 TO 15 MONTHS TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THAT MONEY FROM THE TOWN. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN WE DO OUR RESERVE STUDY, THE PERSON THAT DID OUR RESERVE STUDY WITH US INDICATED THAT IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA FOR THE TOWN TO DO A RESERVE STUDY JUST TO SEE WHAT KINDS OF OTHER THINGS MAY BE GOING ON, AND THAT TOURS AREA, SO THAT THAT CAN BE PLANNED FOR AS WELL, RATHER THAN WAITING FOR WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE RETAINING WALL AND SEEING WHAT HAPPENED. AND TO FINALIZE, AS I SAID IN MY WHEN I STARTED MY COMMENTS, I HOPE THE TOWN AND THE HOA THAT WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO COME TO SOME KIND OF AGREEMENT, WHICH WE'LL SEE THESE STRUCTURES WHICH NOW CAUSE A POTENTIAL DANGER TO PEOPLE USING THEM TO REPAIR THEM IN A TIMELY MANNER, IN A WAY THAT DOESN'T PUT A FINANCIAL HARDSHIP ON EITHER PARTY AND KEEPS ALLOWING THE PUBLIC TO UTILIZE THESE THESE RESOURCES THAT ARE AN ASSET. MY WIFE AND I, JUST LIKE TOM, USE THE TRAILS ALL THE TIME. WE LOVE IT. IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WE MOVED INTO THE AREA WAS BECAUSE OF THE NATURE TRAILS AND ALL THAT ARE THROUGH THERE, SO I HOPE WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO COME TO AN AGREEMENT TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THIS FINANCED, BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO IS HOW DO WE FINANCE THIS? I THINK EVERYBODY WANTS TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND TO BE USABLE. SO THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU PERSONALLY FOR

[01:25:04]

MY NAME IS NISHA JAMES AND MY ADDRESS IS 2804 LITTLE WONDER LANE. I JUST WANTED TO INTRODUCE MYSELF TO THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL AS I WOULD LIKE TO VOLUNTEER TO BE OF SERVICE ON ONE OF OUR WONDERFUL BOARDS HERE IN THE TOWN OF NORTHLAKE. I HAVE THREE CHILDREN WHO ARE STUDENTS IN OUR WONDERFUL NORTHWEST ISD SCHOOLS, SO I JUST WANTED TO BE HERE TO BE A VOICE AND AN ADVOCATE FOR THE TOWN. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR APPLYING AS WELL. APPRECIATE IT. CAN I USE MY TIME? YEAH. YOU ALREADY CLOSED. YOU ALREADY STEPPED DOWN AND CLOSED YOURSELF OUT. CAN IT WAIT TO THE. WELL, I JUST WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT ON THIS REAL QUICK. ONE MINUTE, ONE MINUTE SIR. OKAY. THANK YOU.

JOEL MCGREGOR 8921 SANDY LANE. AND YOU KNOW THESE THINGS ARE WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE. WE GOT TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX THEM. BUT TO JOSH'S POINT, I KNOW WE CAN'T COVER WARRANTY STUFF GOING WAY BACK AND GOING BACK ON THESE PEOPLE, BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT'S A FAILURE OF LIKE INSPECTIONS OR ENGINEERING OR SOMETHING. THESE THINGS SHOULDN'T BE FAILING LIKE THAT.

AND WE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON DALE EARNHARDT WHEN THEY BUILT THE STREETS THERE, AND THEY FAILED WITHIN A COUPLE OF YEARS. WE NEED TO MAYBE CAN WE LOOK AT THE ENGINEERING OR THE INSPECTION AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE FAILURE WAS, THAT IT WASN'T BUILT CORRECTLY? THANKS.

THANK YOU SIR, WITH NO ONE ELSE. ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC INPUT FOR

BUT THE APPLICATIONS THAT WE RECEIVED WERE ALL EXCELLENT. I PERSONALLY ENJOYED TALKING TO EVERY SINGLE APPLICANT. IT WAS VERY NICE TO MEET YOU ALL. AND JUST IF PLEASE DON'T TAKE OFFENSE IF YOU DON'T GET ON TO ONE OF THESE BOARDS, I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO PARTICIPATE.

ONE OF OUR OTHER OFFERINGS IS MR. CORNS. WHAT WHAT DO YOU CALL YOUR CLASS? TOWN HALL 101. IT'LL START IN NOVEMBER, AND WE'LL START ADVERTISING LATE AUGUST. YES. I WOULD ENCOURAGE ANYBODY WHO DOES NOT GET ON ONE OF THESE BOARDS TO SERIOUSLY LOOK INTO THAT CLASS, BECAUSE IT IS AN EXCELLENT LAUNCH PAD INTO THESE BOARDS AS WELL. SO WITH THAT, I WILL I HAVE NO PERSONAL INPUT ON CDC, EDC. I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM SOME OTHER MEMBERS WHO MADE PHONE CALLS AND INTERVIEWS. I THINK WE HAVE SOME REALLY STRONG PEOPLE FROM THE RIDGE, AND THAT THEY HAVE BEEN NOT AS WELL REPRESENTED ON OUR BOARDS, AND SO I FEEL COMFORTABLE IF IT OR I GUESS BASICALLY, IF YOU ALL AGREE THAT I'D LIKE TO. MAKE A MOTION, CAN WE DO THEM TOGETHER? WE DO A ONE BOARD AT A TIME.

[01:35:05]

SEE, LET'S HAVE OPEN UP DISCUSSION. THEN WE'LL TAKE THE VOTES PER ITEM. DID YOU HAVE A THIRD PERSON FOR THE EDC? THEN I WOULD LIKE MY BASED ON TALKING TO THEM.

AND I'VE TALKED TO TALK TO THOSE CITIZENS AS WELL. AND I CAN SUPPORT THEM FOR SURE. JOSH, DID YOU MAKE ANY PHONE CALLS OR HAVE ANY I TALKED TO MR. AS WELL. SO I MEAN, CRAIG I WOULD SAY YES AS WELL. AIDAN, AISHA, ADAM. THEY'RE ALL GREAT. SO IT'S HARD TO HARD TO HAVE A TIEBREAKER. N, I KNOW THROUGH MORE MEETINGS TO PRESIDE OVER ONE OTHER THING I REALLY MULLED OVER THIS YEAR. THE CDC AND EDC DO A LOT OF THE EXACT SAME MEETING, EXACT SAME AGENDA ITEMS. I WOULD LIKE FOR BY THIS TIME NEXT YEAR, OUR APPOINTMENTS TO BRING THESE BOARDS TOGETHER TO DO A DUAL ROLE CDC, EDC. IT'LL TAKE A LOT OF PRESSURE OFF OF STAFF. AND YOU KNOW EVERYBODY TALKS ABOUT GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY. TODAY WE'RE REALLY DOING REDUNDANT MEETINGS FOR THE SAME TYPE OF SAME VOTES, SAME TOPICS. THERE'S NO SEPARATION BETWEEN THE BOARDS. SO WE WOULD HAVE EACH MEMBER SERVE, AS YOU KNOW, CDC SEAT ONE AND EDC SEAT ONE CONCURRENTLY. COULD THAT BOARD GO TO NINE SEATS? ARE WE RESTRICTED IN OUR CHARTER? I'M SORRY. YEAH, THE CHARTER HAS SEVEN SPECIFICALLY IN THE CDC HAS A SPECIFIC NUMBER. THE EDC HAS TO HAVE A MINIMUM OF FIVE, BUT CAN BE GREATER THAN SEVEN. OKAY. SO IT ADDS A LITTLE COMPLEXITY TO IT. ANOTHER THING WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, AND IF YOU'RE WORKING TOWARD THAT DIRECTION IS AN MD, A MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, WHICH DOES WHICH IS WHAT ARGYLE DID. WE COULD COLLAPSE THOSE BOARDS INTO THE MD, AND YOU'RE ACTUALLY ALLOWED TO COLLECT SALES TAX IN YOUR ETJ THROUGH AN MD. IT'S NOT MUCH, BUT IT'S SOME. AND SO THAT'S ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE. AND THEN WITH THAT KIND OF QUARTER CENT TAX THAT'S LEFT A NUMBER OF OPTIONS FOR THAT CRIME CONTROL DISTRICT, STREET IMPROVEMENT, DISTRICT TAX REDUCTION. SO IF COUNCIL'S INTERESTED IN BEGINNING THE PROCESS TO COLLAPSE, WE COULD BRING A BRIEFING TO YOU ABOUT AN MD AS A RECOMMENDATION FOR ONE BOARD, NOT OVERLAPPING BOARDS, BUT KIND OF THAT TRANSITION TO THAT FINAL POINT WOULD BE AN MD SO THAT THE SAME RESPONSIBILITIES AND MORE BASICALLY THE SAME RESPONSIBILITIES, IT IS A KIND OF A COMBINED EDC, CDC. NOT POWERS, BUT PURPOSE. AND IT JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE REVENUE. HOW MANY MEMBERS WOULD SIT ON THAT BOARD? SEVEN OKAY. OKAY. SO IF YOU DID THE OVERLAPPING YOU START THAT PROCESS TO GET AND IT'D BE A LOT EASIER TO TRANSITION TO THAT. OKAY. IS OUR CHARTER ALLOW US TO CREATE NEW BOARD. WE'D HAVE TO PROBABLY HAVE A WE YOU COULD CREATE IT IN THE CHARTER COULD CATCH UP. SO WE AND WE'LL WE'LL GET WITH DEAN ON THE TIMING. BUT YEAH YOU COULD YOU COULD CREATE IT. AND THEN NEXT TIME WE HAVE A CHARTER REVISION WE COULD CLEAN IT UP. THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE. WE'RE STARTING TO GROW OUTSIDE OF OUR CURRENT STRUCTURE AND THE THINGS I THINK JUSTIN'S DONE SIMILAR THINGS WITH THIS AS WELL. AND THEY ARE ENJOYING SOME SALES TAX COLLECTION OUT OF THAT. SO IT IS SOMETHING THAT AS WE GROW AND WE'RE ALREADY LARGER THAN OUR SISTER CITIES NEXT DOOR. SO IT IS PROBABLY TIME THAT WE MATURE AND LOOK AT THAT, LOOK AT THAT. SO I WOULD SAY YES, PLEASE BRING US A BRIEFING ON THE MMD AND MD. I'M SORRY. IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY CONFUSING. YES. SO I'D LIKE TO LOOK AT THAT AND HAVE COUNCIL LOOK AT THAT AND GIVE GUIDANCE. SO WITH THAT KNOWING THAT FUTURE

[01:40:04]

[5.D. VOTE]

WELCOME, MR. CROCKETT, TO THE EDC. AND WE HAVE TWO SEATS REMAINING ON COMMUNITY ON CDC. I HEARD THREE NAMES OUT THERE. MR. CALVERT. NYESHA. AND WHO ELSE DID I HEAR? THERE'S ONE MORE. I WANT TO ADD ANOTHER NAME AND MAKE AND MAYBE MAKE A MOTION AND JUST DO IT. SO I MOTION TO BECAUSE I WANT TO BRING BACK JAMES INTO THE CONVERSATION THAT WE HAVE. AIDEN AND JAMES CAVIN AS THE TWO. THE TWO THAT GO INTO THAT, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT WE'RE GOING TO CONSOLIDATE THAT, WE'RE LOOKING AT CONSOLIDATING THOSE BOARDS. I'D LIKE TO KIND OF RECONSIDER WHAT I SAID, BECAUSE I THINK THAT WE'LL SEE. I'M KIND OF OPEN TO IT. SO. I'D STILL LIKE TO CONSIDER MR. CALVERT FOR CDC. YEAH. OH, THAT'S WHAT SLIDES THAT'S WHAT I MEANT WAS CRAIG, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I SAID. ALL RIGHT. DO I HAVE A MOTION? WE HAVE TWO SEATS. SO I NEED A MOTION FOR AT LEAST ONE SEAT AND THEN WE CAN DISCUSS THE OTHER. I'LL MAKE A MOTION FOR MR. CALVERT FOR THE CDC. ALL RIGHT. FOR. FOR WHICH PLACE? PLACE TWO OR PLACE SIX IS OPEN. BUT YOU'RE YOU CAN REPOINT ANY SPOT AT ANY TIME. PLACE TO PLACE TWO. OKAY. I'LL SECOND SO THAT ONE WILL JUST SERVE THE EXPIRED TERM. SO THIS WILL BE JUST A ONE YEAR TERM PLACE ON THE SIX. THE FULL

[5.C. VOTE]

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL TAKE A VOTE ON PLACE SIX FOR MR. CALVERT. DO WE HAVE ALL THREE OF OUR BRIDGE PEOPLE IN HIS PLACE? OKAY, GOOD. I MIXED UP THE NAMES WHEN I SAID WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY. MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO. MR. CALVERT, WELCOME TO THE CDC. WE STILL HAVE A UNEXPIRED TERM FILLING IN FOR MR. HOLDER FOR SEAT TWO. SO I WILL TAKE A MOTION OR SUGGESTION FOR PLACE TWO.

[01:45:04]

[5.G. Consider approval of a Resolution of the Town of Northlake, Texas, authorizing street name changes for sections of Cleveland-Gibbs Road, Dale Earnhardt Way, and Sam Lee Lane, and providing an effective date ]

SO FOR THIS, WE DO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING TO HOLD ON THIS ITEM. IT'S A CARRY OVER FROM LAST. DO YOU HAVE ANY INTRODUCTORY STATEMENTS YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE. YES I DO REAL QUICK AND CAN GO OVER A LITTLE MORE DETAIL. YOU KNOW THIS TOPIC IS STREET NAME CHANGES. KIND OF STARTED THIS BACK IN OCTOBER, LETTING YOU KNOW THAT SOME ARE NEEDING TO COME EVENTUALLY. AND ONE OF THE FIRST ONES WAS CLEVELAND GIBBS. YOU DID THE BULK OF CLEVELAND GIBBS AT THE AT THE LAST MEETING, BUT WANTED TO KIND OF FOCUS ON THE SOUTHERN AREA PAST WHERE WE PUT THAT RED DOT THAT WAS RIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION OF WHAT IS NOW TO BE CLEVELAND AND CLEVELAND. GIBBS AND SAM LEE COME TOGETHER AT NORTH LAKE VILLAGE RV PARK ENTRANCE. SO THERE WAS ALSO A DISCUSSION OF SOME ADDITIONAL STREETS THAT WEREN'T NOTICED AT THAT TIME. SO WE FULLY NOTIFIED PROPERTY OWNERS THAT WOULD BE AFFECTED BY ANY OF THESE ADDRESS CHANGES ALONG PORTIONS OF CLEVELAND GIBBS ROAD, DALE EARNHARDT ROAD AND SAM LEE, AS SHOWN ON THE SEGMENT MAP. AND BEFORE WE GET INTO THIS, I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU KIND OF AN EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE REASONS WE'RE BRINGING THIS TO YOU IS TO KIND OF MAKE THE STREET NAMES MAKE AS MUCH SENSE AS POSSIBLE. SOME OF YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH TEASLEY, WHICH RUNS THROUGH MEANDERS THROUGH DENTON AND THEN GOES THROUGH CORINTH AND BACK TO 35 CHRONIC CROSSES 35 E TWICE, AND THEN TURNS INTO SWISHER. SO THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT STREET NAMES ON EACH SIDE OF 35 AND A COUPLE OF LOCATIONS HERE. TEASLEY LANE IS THROUGH AS A THROUGH ROAD. YOU HAVE TO TAKE A 90 DEGREE TURN TO STAY ON TEASLEY LANE AND DENTON INSTEAD OF GOING TO LILLIAN MILLER. AND THEN IT TURNS INTO LOOP 288. YOU'RE BASICALLY ON THE SAME SAME ROAD, BUT CHANGING NAMES MULTIPLE TIMES. SO WE'RE TRYING TO THERE'S REASONS FOR THIS BECAUSE THERE'S MULTIPLE JURISDICTIONS. THIS GOES THROUGH, I THINK THE TEASLEY NAME, THEY TRIED TO KEEP IT WITH FM 2181. THAT WAS THE OLD FARM TO MARKET ROAD, WHICH THEY WENT AROUND OLD PROPERTY LINES AND MADE 90 DEGREE TURNS. SO THERE'S REASONS FOR THESE THINGS, BUT WE'RE TRYING TO GET AHEAD AND SEE IF WE CAN COME UP WITH A WITH NAMES THAT MAKE SENSE AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW. SO THESE ARE THE SEGMENTS THAT WERE NOTIFIED WE. WAS IT DREW SENT OUT AERIAL MAP TO THE COUNCIL MEMBERS TO GET YOUR INPUT AHEAD OF TIME. SO WE KIND OF COMPILED SOME OF THOSE SUGGESTIONS INTO SOME OPTIONS FOR YOU TO CONSIDER. BUT BECAUSE WE DID NOTIFY ALL OF THESE, ALL OF THESE ARE OPEN TO FOR CONSIDERATION TO WHATEVER NAME YOU CHOOSE. BUT THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL THAT WE WAS INCLUDED AT THE LAST MEETING WAS JUST TO CHANGE THAT. SEGMENT FOUR FROM CLEVELAND GIBBS ROAD TO CLEVELAND ROAD. KEEP IT CONSISTENT WITH THE REST OF THE CHANGES TO CLEVELAND GIBBS ON THE EAST SIDE OF 35 W AND TO CHANGE CLEVELAND GIBBS SOUTH OF 114 AT LEAST IN NORTH LAKES. JURISDICTION SEGMENT FIVE AND SEGMENT SIX TO DALE EARNHARDT WAY. BECAUSE THAT IS A CONTINUOUS ROADWAY ACROSS 114. AND THEN YOU WOULD JUST HAVE ONE

[01:50:03]

THE ADDRESS NUMBERS COULD STAY THE SAME. IT WAS JUST GOING FROM CLEVELAND GIBBS TO CLEVELAND AND USING THE SAME NAME. THIS WOULD CHANGE A LOT OF ADDRESSES FOR THE NORTH LAKE VILLAGE RV PARK, WHICH HAS 176 RV SPACES. SO THERE WOULD BE SOME OTHER CHANGES THERE. BUT THE MAJOR ADDRESS CHANGES WOULD BE IN THAT SEGMENT FIVE. AND SEGMENT SIX IS JUST LIMITED TO THREE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. ALL RIGHT. AND CAN YOU PULL UP DO YOU HAVE THE PAGE THAT'S IN OUR PACKET WITH THE FOUR OPTIONS. SO THAT COLOR MAP WE'VE WE'VE GONE TO DISTILLED IT DOWN TO THREE OPTIONS HERE. AND I'LL GET INTO THESE. TRIED TO PRETTY THEM UP MORE AND KEEP WITH THE SEGMENTS AND SHOW YOU.

SO OPTION ONE THIS WAS KIND OF ENDED UP BEING THE CONSENSUS. THERE WAS MORE AGREEMENT ON THIS ONE THAN THE OTHERS. AND THE IDEA WAS TO CHANGE. SEGMENT FOUR FROM CLEVELAND GIBBS ROAD TO CLEVELAND, BUT ALSO CHANGE SEGMENT THREE, WHICH IS CURRENTLY DALE EARNHARDT WAY TO CLEVELAND, AND THEN CONTINUE CHANGING THE REST OF CLEVELAND GIBBS SOUTH OF 114 TO CLEVELAND.

SO THAT ALL MATCHED UP. THIS WOULD HAVE THE EFFECT OF CHANGING 18 ADDRESSES, A FEW MORE THAN THE ORIGINAL PLAN. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CHANGES WOULD BE ON DALE EARNHARDT CHANGING THAT TO CLEVELAND. THIS IS EIGHT ADDRESSES AND WOULD INCLUDE MULTIPLE UNITS IN THE URBAN GARAGES. DEVELOPMENT WOULD ALSO AFFECT THE NEW TOWN FACILITY, THE NEW CONFERENCE CENTER AND THE CAMBRIA HOTEL HAVE DALE EARNHARDT ADDRESSES THERE ALREADY, BEGINNING MARKETING WITH THAT ADDRESS. SO THAT WOULD BE A KIND OF CHANGE AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THEIR THEIR OPERATIONS. THE NEXT OPTION, OPTION TWO, IS PRETTY SIMILAR, BUT INSTEAD OF CHANGING TO CLEVELAND ROAD, IT'S KEEPING CLEVELAND GIBBS ROAD AND CHANGING THAT. SEGMENT THREE OF DALE EARNHARDT TO CLEVELAND GIBBS ROAD TO MATCH. AND THIS WOULD CHANGE THOSE SAME ADDRESSES THAT JUST DISCUSSED ON DALE EARNHARDT, INCLUDING URBAN GARAGES AND THE CAMBRIA HOTEL AND CONFERENCE CENTER. AND THEN OPTION THREE, THIS IS ONE WHERE YOU GOT TO GOT CREATIVE AND ADDED A NEW STREET NAME AND CHANGED UP SOME WHERE STREETS ARE NAMED AND. WHAT IS EXISTING CLEVELAND OR SAM LEE LANE CHANGES TO CLEVELAND ROAD CONTINUOUSLY ALL THE WAY TO ASHMORE. WHAT IS CURRENTLY DALE EARNHARDT BETWEEN 35 W AND 114, WHICH CHANGES SAM LEE. THE OLD PORTION OF CLEVELAND GIBBS ROAD WOULD CHANGE TO FALLEN BRIDGE WAY, THINKING IN HONOR OF THE FALLEN BRIDGE ACROSS DENTON CREEK AND CLEVELAND, GIBBS ROAD WOULD STAY SOUTH OF 114, SO OF COURSE THIS ONE HAS THE WOULD AFFECT MORE PROPERTIES AND HAS MORE ADDRESS CHANGES. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU SIR. WE'RE GOING TO HOLD DISCUSSION ON THIS UNTIL WE HAVE OUR PUBLIC HEARING. THIS WAY. ANYBODY WHO'S HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS SEES WHAT'S PRESENTED HERE AND CAN COMMENT APPROPRIATELY. GOOD WITH THAT COUNCIL OKAY. WITH THAT IT IS 7:24 P.M. I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. I DO HAVE THREE FORMS IN FRONT OF ME, SO I'M GOING TO CALL I'M SORRY, TWO FORMS IN FRONT OF ME. MISS FOWLER, IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME UP. MR. OSBORNE. HELLO. CHRISTINE FOWLER 13355 CLEVELAND GIBBS ROAD. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. I CAME TO THE LAST MEETING WITH A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS CHANGE AND LEFT MORE CONFUSED THAN I CAME. SO I WENT BACK AND I DID A LOT OF THINKING AND A LOT OF RESEARCH. SPENT A LITTLE TIME ON IT TRYING TO HELP COME TO SOME CONCLUSION OR SOME AGREEMENT OR SOME OPTIONS THAT MAY APPEASE MOST OF THE IDEAS,

[01:55:04]

THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION. YEAH. BUT IT ALSO WOULD CHANGE THE CITY OF FORT WORTH BECAUSE CITY FORT WORTH HAS CLEVELAND GIBBS AS WELL DOWN THERE. SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE THEIRS TO. SO I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU THAT WERE WILLING TO CHAT WITH ME. AND I'M VERY ONCE I BRING SOMETHING UP AND I HAVE QUESTIONS, I'M VERY DILIGENT IN MAKING SURE I HAVE SOMETHING TO BACK THAT AND TO OFFER ALL OF YOU TO CONSIDER. SO I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. NEXT PAPER I HAVE IS MR. LIPSCOMB. WELCOME, SIR. I LISTED MYSELF MY BUSINESS ADDRESS. I ACTUALLY LIVE IN FLOWER MOUND, BUT THAT'S MY BUSINESS ADDRESS I LIVE, I MEAN, MY BUSINESS IS CATTY CORNER TO THE RV PARK THERE AND, I DON'T KNOW, HAVE ALL YOUR OPTIONS HERE IN FRONT OF ME, BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S DISRUPTIVE TO CHANGE MY NAME OR MY ADDRESS. I PREFER NOT TO DO THAT. BUT IF I IF IT HAD TO CHANGE, THE CLEVELAND ROAD WOULD BE THE MY NEXT BEST CHOICE ON

[02:00:01]

SAM LEE, YOU GOT TO GO BACK TO THE WEST. YEAH. YOU NEED TO TAKE YOUR BOYS OUT THERE. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, SIR, I APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT. THANKS FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT, MR. MCGREGOR. JOEL MCGREGOR, 89, 21 EAST LEE LANE. I THINK OPTION TWO IS THE BEST. AND ONE THING THAT HASN'T BEEN MENTIONED IS THAT RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU TWO. YEAH. GREAT. THAT'S BETTER.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE MY MOUTH GOES INTO THE MICROPHONE. SEGMENT THREE WITH THOSE ROAD CHANGES HAS TWO LANES. AND SO THE RIGHT HAND LANE CURRENTLY DIRECTS EVERYBODY ONTO CLEVELAND GIBBS.

AND THE LEFT HAND GOES ON TO DALE EARNHARDT. SO THAT WE ALREADY HAVE A NATURAL SPLIT THERE TO GO AHEAD AND USE OPTION TWO. ALSO, ONE THING THAT HASN'T BEEN MENTIONED WHEN YOU START CHANGING RESIDENCE ADDRESSES, THEY HAVE TO GO DEAL WITH THE DMV. AND IF YOU GOT A PASSPORT, YOU GOT TO GO TO THE PASSPORT OFFICE AND CHANGE ALL THAT. AND THAT CAN BE THAT'S JUST A REAL NIGHTMARE. AND IT DOESN'T UP YOUR RENEWAL. IF YOU GO TO THE DMV AND GET YOUR ADDRESS CHANGED AND IT EXPIRES IN SIX MONTHS, YOU GOT TO GO BACK AGAIN. SO IT REALLY PUTS A HARDSHIP ON A LOT OF PEOPLE. YOU KNOW, I HAVE A HOME HOME BUSINESS. IT'S NOT THAT I DO ANYTHING THERE, BUT ALL OF MY VENDORS HAVE MY ADDRESS. ALL OF MY CUSTOMERS SEND CHECKS TO MY ADDRESS.

THAT'S JUST A NIGHTMARE. BUT I APPRECIATE THAT MINE ISN'T ON ANY OF THE ONE OF THE FIRST TWO OPTIONS. SO OPTION THREE CHANGES MINE. I DON'T LIKE THAT ONE, BUT OPTION THREE CHANGES ALL KINDS OF STUFF, SO THAT REALLY MAKES A MESS FOR LOTS OF PEOPLE. I THINK OPTION TWO IS THE LEAST DISRUPTIVE AND IT MAKES SENSE. I UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM THAT YOU HAD WITH CLEVELAND GIBBS BEING ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF 114. AND THEN THERE'S ALSO A CLEVELAND GIBBS ON THE NORTH SIDE. THAT DIDN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. BUT IF YOU CONNECT THEM BY CHANGING THREE, THEN THERE'S NO CONFUSION FOR EMS OR ANYBODY BECAUSE IT'S ALL A CONTINUOUS CLEVELAND GIBBS. AND. ONE OTHER THING IS IF IT STAY, IF THAT STAYS CLEVELAND GIBBS, YOU DON'T HAVE TO MESS WITH FORT WORTH AND TRYING TO GET THEM TO CHANGE THE NAME OF ONE OF THEIR STREETS TO. AND AS SOME OTHER PEOPLE HAVE MENTIONED AT THE LAST MEETING, I THINK IF YOU DO OPTION TWO, THERE'S ONLY TWO STREET SIGNS THAT CHANGE, AND YOU COULD MOVE SOME OF THOSE YOU'VE ALREADY TAKEN. YOU KNOW, THAT YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE DOWN FROM UP NORTH TO REPLACE THOSE. YOU WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE TO BUY ANY SIGNS.

THANKS. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK AT PUBLIC INPUT TONIGHT ON THIS TOPIC? OKAY. SEEING NONE, IT IS 7:33 P.M. I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. I DON'T. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, JUST REAL QUICK. IT'S BROUGHT UP SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT CITY OF FORT WORTH.

I HAVE DEVELOPED A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COUNSELOR WHO SITS IN THAT PRECINCT. C COME TO US ASKING FOR SOME HELP ON A FEW THINGS THAT HAVEN'T MATERIALIZED YET. I BELIEVE THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO GET ASSISTANCE THERE. I KNOW THAT THERE'S PROBABLY MAY OR MAY NOT WANT TO BE A LOT OF

[5.G. VOTE (Part 1 of 2)]

ALL RIGHT. MY MOTION FAILED 3 TO 4. SO WE ARE UP FOR DISCUSSION OR OTHER MOTIONS. I JUST GOT A QUICK DISCUSSION POINT. ARE WE NOT CHANGING? DALE EARNHARDT? WASN'T THAT PART OF OUR DISCUSSION? LAST MEETING OPTION ONE WOULD CHANGE DALE EARNHARDT. DALE EARNHARDT WOULD T INTO CLEVELAND ROAD AT THE CURRENT INTERSECTION, BUT THAT VOTE FAILED. BUT YEAH, PART OF DALE EARNHARDT WOULD CHANGE. BUT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ALL OF IT. YES. I WAS UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT WAS ONE OF THE ONLY OPTION. THREE CHANGED ALL OF WIPED DALE EARNHARDT OUT OF NORTH LAKE. WE

[02:05:01]

BUT LOOKING AT THIS, THIS MAP WHERE WE HAVE CLEVELAND ROAD GOING DOWN TO 114, I THINK THAT SHOULD STAY CONTIGUOUS. CLEVELAND, GIBBS. ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 114. THERE'S NO CONFUSION. AS JOEL MENTIONED, THERE IS A NATURAL SPLIT WHERE YOU GO FROM CLEVELAND GIBBS TO DALE EARNHARDT. WHETHER WE CHANGE THE DALE EARNHARDT NAME. I DON'T HAVE A DOG IN THAT FIGHT EITHER WAY, BUT I WOULD THINK KEEPING CLEVELAND GIBBS CONTIGUOUS AND GETTING RID OF THE CLEVELAND NAME AND RUN THAT DOWN ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 114. SO YOU'RE PROPOSING THAT FROM THE HIGHWAY, DOWN ALL THE WAY DOWN THE YELLOW LINE WOULD STAY CLEVELAND GIBBS INSTEAD OF CLEVELAND? YES. OKAY. I I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION. I'M GOING TO SAY SOMETHING AND THEN MAKE A MOTION. OPTION TWO CHANGES THE LEAST AMOUNT OF THINGS. I DON'T FEEL LIKE WE HAVE ANY REASON TO GET RID OF DALE EARNHARDT WAY FOR THE REST OF IT, BUT THAT IF WE CHANGE THAT ONE SEGMENT THREE TO CLEVELAND GIBBS, THEN WE CAN JUST BE THE END POINT OF CLEVELAND. GIBBS AT THE TOP TRIANGLE BEFORE WE SWITCH TO CLEVELAND. AND THAT THAT NOW WE HAVE MULTIPLE CONTINUOUS ROADS THAT ALL HAVE A NATURAL STOP AT A INTERSECTION AT A SPLIT. AND SO I WILL I CAN I ASK YOU TO HOLD YOUR MOTION FOR ONE SECOND, BECAUSE I WANT TO GIVE YOU A POINT OF CLARITY, OKAY? WHEN THAT ROAD IS OPEN, THAT WILL NO LONGER BE A FOUR WAY STOP. IT WILL BE CONNECTED AS CONTIGUOUS ROAD. HENCE, WE'VE GOT TO THINK AHEAD FIVE YEARS AND LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE. RIGHT. SO THAT'S THAT'S WHY IF WE THEN WE'LL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS EXERCISE AGAIN OR NOT OR CLEVELAND GIBBS ENDS RIGHT THERE AND THEN WE DON'T. IT WOULD END. THE CONTIGUOUS ROAD. SO IS WHAT I'M SAYING. SO YOU'D HAVE TO CUT INTO OTHER PEOPLE'S PROPERTY.

ARE WE GOING TO GET AN EASEMENT TO CUT THROUGH FOR PEOPLE'S PROPERTY TO MAKE IT A CONTINUOUS ROAD? WELL, IN TERMS OF FOUR LANE ROAD, IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ENGINEERING WISE.

IS THAT WHAT'S IN OUR MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN? ALREADY? ONE CONTINUOUS THING. YES, MA'AM.

WHERE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? THERE. JUST SO I UNDERSTAND, I'M TALKING ABOUT WHERE WE HAVE RIGHT NOW WHERE SEGMENT FOUR INTERSECTS WITH THAT STANLEY LANE IN CLEVELAND ROAD, KIND OF WHERE THE DOTTED YELLOW GOES TO YELLOW GOES TO THE SOLID YELLOW. RIGHT. YOU ARE FREE TO MAKE YOUR MOTION. MISS HOLMES, I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU THAT POINT BECAUSE IT'S AN IMPORTANT POINT.

IF WE MISS THAT TODAY, YOU'RE LITERALLY GOING TO HAVE A ROAD CHANGING ROAD MID LANE. YEAH. NO INTERSECTION, WHICH I'D LOVE TO SEE A TIMELINE ON WHEN THAT WHEN THAT PROBLEM IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.

WELL TO THAT POINT TOO. LIKE SO IF THAT'S GOING TO BE CONTINUOUS CONTINUOUS, DO WE NEED TO EVEN CHANGE TO CLEVELAND THERE. AND IT JUST IF GIBBS IS ALREADY CHANGED ON THE OTHER SIDE, IS THERE A REASON YOU CAN HAVE CLEVELAND GIBBS. AND THEN BECAUSE THE PART THAT WE CAN'T SEE HERE JUST LEAVE IT. YEAH. THE YELLOW SEGMENT WE CHANGED TO CLEVELAND LAST MEETING. YEAH. SO IT'S ALREADY KIND OF YEAH. IT COULD BE UNDONE. RIGHT. BECAUSE THAT WOULD MAKE AND THAT RIGHT NOW WE'RE ONLY LOOKING AT THIS SOUTHERN SECTION. I THINK OUR MASTER PLAN WOULD HAVE A FOUR LANE GO INTO DALE EARNHARDT WAY THROUGH SEGMENT EIGHT. IT'S NOT GOING TO CURVE DOWN TO SEGMENT FOUR, AT LEAST THE WAY THE MASTER PLAN IS CURRENTLY. BUT MASTER PLANS CHANGE ALL THE TIME. SO YOU COULD HAVE IT KIND OF KNOCK THAT CORNER OFF. BUT THEN THAT WOULD TAKE OUT SOMEBODY'S PARKING LOT. YEAH. WHICH NOT TO MENTION RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THE BRIDGE. AND THAT DEPENDING ON WHAT THE CHANGES ARE IN THE HOUSE, THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO TAKE ON ADDITIONAL DEBT TO GET A HUGE PROJECT LIKE THAT. SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A CONVERSATION THAT COULD HAPPEN 15 YEARS FROM NOW, AND THAT RIGHT NOW, THERE'S NOT A REALISTIC WAY TO MAKE THAT THAT PART ONE CONTINUOUS. I DO GET THAT. THERE'S, YOU KNOW, LIKE A

[02:10:04]

[5.G. VOTE (Part 2 of 2)]

AND SO WE'LL FOR ANOTHER MEETING WE'LL LOOK AT RENAMING GIBBS TO SOMETHING ELSE. AND WHAT THE DISRUPTION AND IMPACT OF THAT WOULD BE. OKAY. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY FROM A MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE OF THE TOWN, I WOULD PUBLICLY LIKE TO SAY, I THINK THE COUNCIL HAS NOT MADE A VERY GOOD DECISION TONIGHT, NOR VERY PRUDENT DECISION, BUT IT IS YOUR WILL AND I WILL SUPPORT YOUR VOTE. SO YOUR VOTE STANDS. BUT IT'S BAD ENGINEERING PRACTICE. ALL RIGHT. NEXT ITEM, NEXT ITEM.

[5.F. Consider approval of a Resolution of the Town of Northlake, Texas, granting consent to the creation of Denton County Fresh Water Supply District No. 13 (or next available numerical designation as determined by the Commissioner’s Court of Denton County), and the inclusion of land therein]

[02:15:01]

CURRENTLY, SEWER IS GETTING MUCH CLOSER. THERE'S THE NEED FOR SOME EXTENSIVE INFRASTRUCTURE EXTENSIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS TO SERVE THIS PROPERTY, INCLUDING A NEW POINT OF DELIVERY FROM FORT WORTH WATER TO SERVE THIS AREA. SO VERY COSTLY INFRASTRUCTURE. SO THE DEVELOPER HAS PROPOSED CREATING A FRESH WATER SUPPLY DISTRICT TO ASSIST WITH FINANCING THIS. THERE'S CURRENTLY A FRESH WATER SUPPLY DISTRICT THAT COVERS THE HARVEST DEVELOPMENT. ACTUALLY A COUPLE OF THEM. JUST ONE IN THE NORTH LAKE AREA. BUT THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST FRESH WATER SUPPLY DISTRICT OR FIRST DISTRICT LIKE THIS. THAT IS THAT IS FOR KIND OF COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL USE.

THE OWNER SUBMITTED A PETITION FOR CONSENT TO CREATION OF THE DISTRICT BECAUSE IT IS IN OUR ETJ. IT REQUIRES THE CONSENT OF THE TOWN. YOU'VE BEEN PROVIDED WITH THE PETITION AND YOUR ACTION TONIGHT IS ON WHETHER YOU CONSENT TO THAT. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. REDDEN? JUST FOR MY EDUCATION. WHAT DOES THAT EXACTLY MEAN? WHAT? THE FRESH WATER DISTRICT. IT CREATES A SEPARATE TAXING DISTRICT. IT JUST APPLIES TO THIS PROPERTY. AND IT'LL BE A SEPARATE ENTITY FROM THE TOWN, BUT IT PROVIDES THE BENEFIT THAT IT WILL BE ABLE TO HELP FINANCE SOME OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WILL BENEFIT THIS PROPERTY, AS WELL AS THE TOWN, AND ALLOW THIS PROPERTY TO DEVELOP AND GET IT ANNEXED. SO. EVERYTHING. IT'LL BE ADDITIONAL REVENUE AND THEIR INTENT IS TO ANNEX. SO WE'D GET WE'D APPLY OUR TAX RATE MUCH LIKE THE IN TOWN DISTRICTS WOULD. AND LIKE NATHAN SAID, THIS WOULD JUST KIND OF TURBOCHARGE AND GET THEM MORE CAPITAL FOR ALL THAT EXTENSIVE INFRASTRUCTURE KIND OF AT THE BOTTOM CORNER OF THE TOWN. ALL RIGHT. DO WE HAVE ANY MOTIONS? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS. MAKE SENSE? AND CARRIES ON WHAT COUNCIL HAS

[5.F. VOTE]

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. AND THAT CONCLUDES OUR ACTION ITEMS THIS EVENING. WE MAY HAVE ONE ITEM COMING OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION. WE MOST LIKELY WILL, SIR. OKAY. WE MOST LIKELY WILL HAVE AN ITEM COMING OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION. SO WITH THAT, IT IS 7:49 P.M. WE WILL CONVENE

[6. EXECUTIVE SESSION]

[7. RECONVENE INTO OPEN SESSION]

[02:20:07]

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY 7 TO 0. WITH THAT, IT IS 9:07 P.M. I WILL
