AND I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF PICTURES. SINCE THEN WE'VE WE'VE INSTALLED THAT BEAM. THE FIRST THING I HAVE UP WAS A TIME LAPSE VIDEO. AND WE PUT THIS UP WITH AN EARTH CAM SYSTEM. SO IT TAKES A SNAPSHOT EVERY DAY AND CREATED THIS NEAT LITTLE VIDEO. SO WE'LL LET THAT PLAY THROUGH AND KIND OF KIND OF GET AN IDEA OF HOW PROGRESS HAS BEEN GOING SINCE JUNE 1ST I BELIEVE IS WHEN THIS ACTUALLY STARTED. IT IS. PLENTY OF PARKING AT FIRST. YEAH, YEAH, THINGS CHANGE QUICKLY FROM DAY TO DAY OUT THERE YOU SEE MATERIALS ARRIVING AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY GET INSTALLED AND THEN THE NEXT GROUP OF GUYS COMES IN. SO YOU CLEAN UP THE AREA AND MAKE READY AND THEN BOOM, SOME MORE STUFF COMES. SO IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE WE HAVE PROBABLY 27 ACTIVE SUBCONTRACTORS AT THIS POINT, AND WE'RE AVERAGING WELL OVER 100 GUYS A DAY NOW OUT THERE. AND THE MORE WE GET INTO IT, THE MORE THAT TRAFFIC BUILDS OUT THERE. AND IT'S IT'S A LOT OF WORKERS COMING INTO THE AREA FOR YOU OUT THERE. THAT'S YOUR ROOFING. THAT'S ALL THE ROOFING MATERIAL THAT'S SHOWN UP. RIGHT. AND AS OF TODAY, THEY THEY HAVE THE MAIN BUILDING ROOF DRIED IN. THEY HAVE THE BASKETBALL AND HOCKEY SIDES RIGHT IN.

I THINK I'M PROBABLY UP TO 7000 PICTURES I'VE TAKEN ON THIS JOB NOW, SO IT'S VERY INTERESTING. FROM THE NORTHEAST SIDE YOU CAN SEE THIS AREA RIGHT HERE. THIS IS OUR RESTAURANT AND LITTLE MEDICAL CENTER THAT WILL GO THERE AND A SEPARATE LEASE BY THE STARS. I THINK WE'RE GOING TO GO WITH THE SHARK CLUB AND SOMETHING TO DO WITH CHILDREN'S MEDICAL. MAYBE ON THE SECOND FLOOR THERE. PRETTY GOOD VIEW. FROM THERE. YOU CAN SEE THE CENTER SECTION OF THE BUILDING RIGHT HERE THAT GETS LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE ON THAT.
AND THEN THE ROOFING GOES ON TOP THAT THAT CREW STARTS ON MONDAY AND THEN THIS HIGHER ROOF ALONG HERE. THIS WILL START MONDAY AS WELL. AND THAT'S THAT'S YOUR NORMAL TPO ROOF. FROM THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING. YOU CAN SEE THEY'VE BEEN PREPPING THE PANELS GETTING READY FOR THE PAINT AND PRIMER. I TOOK SOME SOME INTERIOR PHOTOS. THESE WERE TAKEN ON MONDAY SO YOU CAN SEE THE SECOND FLOOR DECKING IS DOWN. WE'LL MAKE A POUR ON THAT SLAB EARLY NEXT WEEK. VIEW FROM THE INSIDE LOOKING ACROSS.

[4. CONSENT ITEMS]
C, D, E, F AND G. I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR. DOES ANYBODY NEED PULL ANYTHING? IF NOT, I'LL TAKE MOTIONS. I'LL SECOND MOTION FROM DOCTOR SESSIONS AND SECOND FROM MAYOR PRO TEM LORENZ. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. NEXT WAS OUR ACTION ITEMS TONIGHT. AND THE[5.A. Consider adoption of an Ordinance of the Town of Northlake, Texas, amending the Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025; providing that expenditure for the said fiscal year shall be made in accordance with the said Amended Budget]
FIRST IS ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ADOPTED BUDGET. MR. JOHN, HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY? I WAS TELLING CHIEF, I HAVE THE GOAL TO HAVE A COUNCIL MEETING WHERE I DON'T SPEAK. IT'S NOT TONIGHT.SO NOT DURING THIS SEASON. NOT DURING THIS SEASON. SO. OKAY, SO WE'LL GO THROUGH THIS REALLY QUICKLY. WE AT THE END OF EVERY FISCAL YEAR AS WE APPROACH THE END, IT'S COMING UP HERE ON THE 30TH OF SEPTEMBER. THE NEW ONE STARTS ON THE FIRST. WE ALWAYS HAVE SOME CLEAN-UP ITEMS TO DO BECAUSE SPENDING HAPPENS THAT WE DON'T ANTICIPATE, OR THINGS MAY RUN A LITTLE BIT HIGHER THAN EXPECTED. SO WE WANT TO CLEAN THAT UP. WE ALSO HAVE SOME REVENUES COME IN THAT WE WANT TO ACCOUNT FOR. SO REALLY QUICK LOOKING AT THE SOME OF THE END OF THE YEAR TRANSFERS THAT NEED TO OCCUR, WE HAVE THE ADA ADA COMPLIANCE STUDY. THAT'S THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT. IT'S A STUDY THAT WE NEED TO DO IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH SOME FEDERAL MANDATES. IT'S BEEN DISCUSSED AT PRIOR COUNCIL MEETINGS, BUT WE'RE GOING TO MOVE $110,000 TO GET THAT STUDY STARTED HERE, RIGHT HERE AT THE END OF THIS YEAR AND GOING INTO NEXT YEAR.
AND THEN THERE'S CANYON FALLS TRAIL WALL REPAIR, 1.1 MILLION THAT'S BEEN DISCUSSED. AND THAT WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND GET THAT MOVED OVER SO THAT PROJECT CAN GET STARTED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR AND GET COMPLETED. THERE'S ALSO BEEN A $1.5 MILLION INCREASE IN BUDGET REVENUES FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER FUND. WE DON'T NORMALLY SEE SOMETHING THIS LARGE. PART OF THAT IS THE TRINITY RIVER AUTHORITY.
THERE'S REIMBURSEMENT FROM TRA EACH YEAR. THEY DO THEIR BUDGET AND THEY CALCULATE INTO THEIR BUDGET HOW MUCH THEY NEED TO COLLECT IN ORDER TO PAY OFF THE DEBT THAT THEY'RE GOING TO START ISSUING FOR THAT FISCAL YEAR. TRA OVERESTIMATED THE DEBT THAT THEY WERE GOING TO ISSUE, SO THEY RETURNED THOSE PAYMENTS TO US. IT WAS A LARGE SUM, AND WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE IT.
AND THEN THE CELLULAR METER PROJECT ALSO EXPERIENCED COST SAVINGS. SO WE'RE MOVING THAT BACK FROM THE WATER CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND, BACK INTO THE UTILITY FUND TO BE USED TO HELP SUPPORT WATER AND SEWER SERVICES. SOME OF THE BUDGETED INCREASES IN BUDGETED
[00:20:02]
EXPENDITURES. THERE ARE SOME INCREASE COST OVERRUNS OF DALE EARNHARDT WAY SOUTH PROJECT. WE ALSO PURCHASED PROCUREMENT SOFTWARE THIS YEAR TO HELP WITH STREAMLINING OUR PROCUREMENT SERVICES. THERE ARE SOME SMALL TOOLS FOR POLICE OUT OF ONE OF THEIR SPECIAL FUNDS. THEY TYPICALLY DON'T BUDGET FOR THESE SPECIAL FUNDS. THEY USE THEM AS NEEDED. AND SO WE WANT TO INCLUDE THAT THERE IS SOME STREET MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT AND THEN THERE IS PECAN SEWER SHARE COST. THIS SPECIFICALLY THIS IS RELATED TO PROVIDING LIMITED CAPACITY FOR SERVICE CAPACITY FOR RETAIL NORTH OF PECAN SQUARE. SO THIS IS THE TOWN'S PORTION OF THAT COST ALONG WITH THE DEVELOPER. AND THEN THE SEWER TREATMENT PLANT. THERE HAS BEEN SOME HIGHER THAN EXPECTED COSTS RELATED TO SLUDGE HAUL OFF TO KEEP THAT PLANT OPERATING. AND THEN THE TRINITY RIVER AUTHORITY, THEY TOOK OVER THE INTERCEPTOR LINE THAT HAD BEEN IN OUR CAPITAL PROJECT PLAN FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. AND AS PART OF THAT IS THAT LINE THAT'S RUNNING THROUGH NORTH LAKE INTO JUSTIN AS PART OF THAT, JUSTIN NORTH LAKE ARE BOTH PARTICIPATING, MAKING ANNUAL PAYMENTS TO HELP WITH THE COMPLETION OF THAT PROJECT. IN TERMS OF FUND BALANCE IMPACT, THE GENERAL FUND IS LOOKING AT A $1.2 MILLION DECREASE JUST RELATED TO TRANSFERRING FOR THOSE CAPITAL PROJECTS. THE COMPLIANCE STUDY IN CANYON FALLS, THE POLICE ASSET FORFEITURE FUND, $11,000 DECREASE WATER AND SEWER IS SEEING A $250,000 INCREASE. THE WATER CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND IS THAT MOVEMENT FROM THE CELLULAR METERS BACK INTO PROJECT SAVINGS, BACK INTO UTILITIES $112,000 DECREASE CAPITAL PROJECTS, $186,000 DECREASE, AND THEN WE HAVE OUR IMPACT FEE AND 106,000 AND THEN TAX INCREMENT INVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER ONE, WE'LL SEE THAT $1.1 MILLION INCREASE FROM THE GENERAL FUND. AND THAT WRAPS IT UP FOR THE BUDGET AMENDMENT COUNCIL. ANY QUESTIONS FOR JOHN.IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO TIDY UP AT THE END OF THE YEAR. APPRECIATE THAT. ALRIGHT. ON THAT. DO I
[5.A. VOTE]
HAVE A MOTION FOR AMENDING THIS? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. I HAVE A MOTION FROM MAYOR PRO TEM LAWRENCE. SECOND, HAVE A SECOND FROM MR. GANZ. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. ITEM B[5.B. Consider adoption of an Ordinance of the Town of Northlake, Texas, amending the Code of Ordinances by amending Appendix “A,” “Fee schedule,” Article A4.000, “Water and Sanitary Sewer Service Fees,” Section A4.002, “Impact Fees,” revising the water and sanitary impact fees; providing that this ordinance shall be cumulative of all ordinances; providing a severability clause; and providing an effective date]
WHO'S HANDLING THIS ONE? OH, REALLY? YOU DREW A SHORT STRAW AGAIN I DID I DID DRAW THE SHORT STRAW ON THIS ONE. I'M NOT QUITE SURE HOW IT LANDED ON ME, BUT IT DID. SO HE JUMPED UP FRONT FIRST, SO I DID. SO THERE WE GO. THIS USUALLY INVOLVES DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND PUBLIC WORKS AS WELL AS FINANCE A BIT. SO I JUST DREW THE STRAW THIS TIME. SO THE IN OUR SOUTHERN PRESSURE PLANE WE GET OUR WATER FROM FORT WORTH AND THEY SUPPLY THE WATER SERVICES THERE AS PART OF THAT. THEY DO CHARGE WATER IMPACT FEES FOR DEVELOPMENTS. AND THE TOWN GOES AHEAD AND COLLECTS THOSE FEES AND THEN PASSES THOSE BACK TO FORT WORTH. SO TYPICALLY EVERY TWO YEARS, ROUGHLY, FORT WORTH UPDATES THEIR FEE SCHEDULE FOR THESE IMPACT FEES. THAT'S COME AROUND. ONCE AGAIN, THEY'VE PROVIDED US WITH WHAT THOSE FEES ARE. THEY'VE ASKED THAT ALL THE MUNICIPALITIES WHO ARE PART OF THE THE PROGRAM THAT THEY SUPPLY WATER TO, AND HAVE AN AGREEMENT THAT THEY UPDATE THOSE FEES AND MAKE THAT CURRENT AS WELL. ON THIS SLIDE, YOU CAN SEE THE THE DIFFERENCE FROM THE CURRENT FEE TO THE FEE FOR THIS NEXT YEAR THROUGH 2025 FISCAL YEAR, AND THEN THE FEE FOR THE 2026 FISCAL YEAR. THEY TEND TO ADOPT IT ON A TWO YEAR CYCLE, HENCE THE TWO YEAR UPDATE THAT THEY DO EVERY EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS. BUT HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT. IT'S RELATIVELY STRAIGHTFORWARD. IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT WE ARE ASKED TO DO AND THEN PASS BACK TO FORT WORTH. THIS IS COSTS TYPICALLY PAID BY THE DEVELOPER WHEN THEY START A NEW HOME OR NEW BUSINESS, ETC. YEAH, AND CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO HOMES IN THE SOUTHERN PRESSURE PLAIN. YOU KNOW, SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL I MEAN NEW. THERE'S EXISTING AND BUT YES, THIS IS COMPLETELY PASSED THROUGH. OKAY. VERY GOOD. JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR FOR WHAT I WAS GOING TO ASK BECAUSE THIS IS WHICH I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT IT'S JUST PASSED THROUGH COST BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO SAY, WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT ON THIS PAGE? JUST LIKE WHAT'S JUST GET A TEN INCH LINE DOWN SOUTH AND WE'LL BE HAPPY. OKAY. WELL, IN THE NORTH EVER TRINITY, THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT WAY TO COVER THEIR CAPITAL COST. THEY HAVE A SUBSCRIPTION FEE. IT'S IT'S LIKE $600,000 PER MILLION GALLONS OF SUBSCRIPTION. BUT IT DOES IT A DIFFERENT WAY YOU PAY FOR EACH TIME. BUT THIS IS THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT SYSTEMS AND THIS IS THEIR METHODOLOGY. AND IF WE WANT THEIR WATER, WHICH WE DO, WE NEED WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THEIR RULES. AND AND AS WE SAID EARLIER, IT'S ALL PASSED ON TO THE DEVELOPER.[5.B. VOTE]
OKAY. I'LL TAKE MOTIONS FOR ITEM B. MOTION TO APPROVE. MOTION APPROVED FROM MR. PIZZUTO. I'LL SECOND SECOND FROM MR. FOWLER.[00:25:20]
MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING PRINTED ABOUT ACTIONS OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION. DO YOU HAVE EXPECT ANYTHING? MAYBE. I DON'T DON'T THINK SO. DON'T[6. EXECUTIVE SESSION]

IF WE HAVE ANY ACTIONS COMING OUT, WE WILL TAKE ACTION ON THOSE, BUT WE'RE NOT EXPECTING ANY THIS EVENING. SO IT IS 6:56 P.M. WE RETURN FROM EXECUTIVE SESSION
