SO PATTI, WOULD YOU PLEASE NOTE THAT FOR THE RECORD? OK, THANK YOU. ITEMS. ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? OK, NO PUBLIC COMMENTS TONIGHT.

OK, NEXT, ITEMS OF INTEREST.

[ITEMS OF COMMUNITY INTEREST]

WE'RE GOING TO START BACK UP IN AUGUST.

YES. WE DECIDED TO TAKE TWO MONTHS OFF WHILE WE HAD ALL THE OTHER MEETINGS.

AND WITH THE SUMMER, IT WAS HARD TO GET EVERYBODY TOGETHER.

OK, I UNDERSTAND THAT PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION HAS A MEETING ON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11TH, AT SIX P.M.

IT WILL BE VIRTUAL ONLY AND THERE WILL BE INFORMATION ON HOW TO JOIN INTO THAT MEETING ON THE WEBSITE CLOSER TO THE AUGUST 11TH DATE.

JUST GO TO THE CITY'S WEBSITE, HIT ON CALENDAR AND IT'LL BRING UP INFORMATION ABOUT THAT MEETING. OK, LASTLY, THERE IS, ANYBODY THAT'S INTERESTED IS THE 2021 TAX RATE PLANNING CALENDAR AND.

AT THIS, IT LOOKS LIKE THIS.

AND I'D JUST LIKE TO NOTE REAL QUICKLY THAT WE ARE HOPING TO HAVE OUR, AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, GRANT, OUR CERTIFIED TOTALS ON OR ABOUT AUGUST 1ST, OH, THIS THURSDAY.

WOW. OK, AND THEN WE DO PLAN TO HAVE TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATE AND BUDGET, WHICH ARE TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED RIGHT NOW FOR AUGUST 31ST AND OR SEPTEMBER 7TH.

SO IN THE VOTE ALSO TO BE ON SEPTEMBER 7TH.

OH, OK. SO NEXT WE HAVE THE CONSENT AGENDA.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

OK, IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT WANTS ANYTHING PULLED OFF? OK, CAN WE PROCEED ON ITEM NUMBER ONE, THE APPROVAL OF THE MEETING MINUTES AND ITEM NUMBER THREE, THE DEPARTMENTAL REPORTS? MADAM MAYOR, I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ACCEPT THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS NUMBER ONE, APPROVAL OF THE MEETINGS AS WRITTEN AND NUMBER THREE, THE DEPARTMENT REPORTS REMOVING THE REPUBLIC WASTE REPORT.

OK, REPUBLIC WASTE HAS BEEN PULLED.

YES, BUT. OH, OK.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I HEARD YOU RIGHT.

OK, IS THERE A SECOND? MADAM MAYOR, I SECOND THAT.

OK, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER SLAUGHTER AND A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER LYNCH TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS NUMBER ONE AND THREE, BUT NOT TWO, AT THIS TIME.

[00:05:04]

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF APPROVING THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS NUMBER ONE AND THREE AS WRITTEN.

PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

OK, DIANA, WOULD YOU PLEASE? OK. ANYONE AGAINST? OK, NOT HEARING ANY MOTION PASSES 5-1.

THANK YOU. I MEAN, 5-0 AND SO I AM ALREADY MOVING ON TO OTHER NUMBER 2, TERRY YOU WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE REPUBLIC WASTE.

[2. REPUBLIC WASTE MAY REPORT(JUNE). [BERNAS]]

HOWEVER, I KNOW IN THERE WERE SOME SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS WITH THE BULK TRASH PICKUP IN JUNE, AS THERE WAS IN APRIL.

AND SO I DON'T KNOW.

I'M CONCERNED WITH HOW THEY COME UP WITH THEIR NUMBERS.

AND I'M ALSO I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ASK WHAT NUMBERS? IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE CITY MAINTAINS A LIST OF PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, OF REPORTED INCIDENTS AS WELL.

DO WE DO WE KNOW WHAT THAT NUMBER IS FOR? I DON'T KNOW THAT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

I CAN GET THAT TO COUNCIL, OK? YEAH, ANY IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, LUKE, THAT ANYONE THAT EITHER E-MAILS IN OR CALLS IN A COMPLAINT REGARDING TRASH BULK OR REGULAR, THAT KATHY CLARK, LAST NAME JUST WHEN I'M AHEAD.

KATHY DOES KEEP A LOG ON EACH AND EVERY ONE.

I DON'T KNOW IF THEY DETERMINE IF THEY'RE VALID COMPLAINTS OR NOT.

LUKE, CAN YOU GET US SOME MORE INFORMATION ON THAT? YES, MA'AM, I CAN.

OK.

I WOULD LIKE TO ADD SOMETHING ON THE SERVICE ISSUES.

YOU NOTE IT SAYS TRASH MISSED SERVICES.

AND I THINK PROBABLY THE BULK OF THE COMPLAINTS WERE SLOW SERVICE BECAUSE MINE SAT THERE FOR A WEEK OR MORE BEFORE THEY PICKED IT UP.

WE HAD TO CALL IN.

I MEAN, OUR WHOLE SUBDIVISION, I THINK SOUTHBRIDGE.

YEAH, WE WAITED. IT WAS JULY BEFORE IT WAS PICKED UP.

IT WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM.

AND I UNDERSTAND AGAIN, IT MY UNDERSTANDING IS APRIL, THEY HAD TRUCK PROBLEMS. AND AGAIN, IN IN JUNE, THERE WERE TRUCK PROBLEMS. AND I FEEL FOR THEM.

BUT WE AS RESIDENTS DESERVE TO HAVE OUR TRASH PICKED UP.

SO I'D LIKE AND AGAIN, MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THEIR CONTRACT IS UP FOR RENEWAL COMING SOON. SO THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

YEAH, I ASKED THAT THIS ISSUE BE ADDRESSED THOROUGHLY DURING THAT TIME.

OK, IN THE MEANTIME, ARE YOU WANTING TO TABLE THIS PARTICULAR REPORT UNTIL MR. OLSON CAN COME BACK WITH MORE INFORMATION, OR DO YOU JUST WANT TO NOTE THAT FOR THE RECORD AND GO ON OR WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO? I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE FOR THE RECORD THAT I BELIEVE THE SERVICE ISSUES ARE HIGHER THAN WHAT IS REPORTED.

BUT I AM OK WITH I WOULD BE HAPPY TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ACCEPT THE REPORT WITH THE NOTATION OF THE THE PROBLEMS THAT OCCURRED DURING THE MONTH.

CAN I JUST GET A QUICK CLARIFICATION? YOU JUST WANT DO YOU WANT JUST BULK OR DO YOU WANT TRASH OR BOTH? I THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO SEE BOTH.

OK, YEAH, I'M WITH THAT ALSO BECAUSE IT WORKED OUT OK, THAT I HAD A VERY LATE PICK UP ON THE WEEKEND OF JULY 4TH.

ALSO YOU AND I TALKED ABOUT IT AND THEY FINALLY DID COME AND I THINK THEY HAD ANOTHER TRUCK, BUT ALL OF SPRINGHILL ON THE SIDE OF ARBORSIDE DIDN'T GET PICKED UP TILL ABOUT SEVEN O'CLOCK, I BELIEVE, ON THAT DAY.

SO I WOULD AGREE.

I WOULD SAY THAT WE WANT TO KNOW ABOUT ALL ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED BECAUSE I KIND OF AGREE WITH MAYOR PRO TEM MEYER.

I THINK THERE'S MAYBE MISS CATEGORIZING SOME THINGS.

SO THEY'RE NOT ON THE REPORT, SUCH AS STATING IT'S NOT MISSED, IT'S SLOW, SO THEY DON'T NEED TO STATE THAT.

BUT I ALSO NOTICE THAT THEY CONTINUALLY STATE NO PROPERTY DAMAGE.

BUT I HAVE SEEN POSTS THAT I'VE RECEIVED EMAILS FROM RESIDENTS WHERE THEY HAVE THEY'VE RUN OVER THEIR YARDS AND PUT RUTS IN IT.

[00:10:01]

YEAH, WE GET VERY LITTLE THOSE CALLS UP HERE.

I CAN TELL YOU THAT.

I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO REPUBLIC BECAUSE THE ONE THAT WAS POSTED ONLINE THAT I HAPPENED TO CATCH WAS WE CONTACTED REPUBLIC WASTE AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. BUT I WOULD HOPE THAT THEY WOULD ADD THAT IN IS A PROPERTY DAMAGE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. TYPICALLY, IF THEY IF THE RESIDENTS NOTIFY US, REPUBLIC'S PRETTY JOHNNY SPOT ON AND GO ABOUT FILLING THE HOLE IN.

RIGHT. GETTING GRASS OR WHATEVER IT IS.

AND I GET THE I WOULD HOPE THAT'S THE CASE, BUT I'D JUST LIKE TO KNOW THAT THE INCIDENT OCCURRED, TOO. IT WAS.

SIMILAR TO THE ISSUE I BROUGHT UP A FEW MONTHS AGO WHERE WE HAD THE SPILL OF THE HYDRAULIC FLUID ON SOMEONE'S DRIVEWAY IN THE STREET, I MEAN, THAT WAS TECHNICALLY PROPERTY DAMAGE. I KNOW THEY DID A GREAT JOB IN GETTING IT CLEANED UP EXPEDITIOUSLY, BUT IT GOES INTO THE WEIGHT OF EVERYTHING WITH THE REPORTS.

I WOULD JUST LIKE I AGREE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER LYNCH WE NEED ACCURATE INFORMATION.

OK, OH, COUNCIL MEMBER LYNCH, YOU'RE MAKING A MOTION TO APPROVE THE REPUBLIC REPORT WITH THE ISSUES AS DISCUSSED.

IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.

OK. IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND THAT, MAYOR.

OK, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER LYNCH WITH A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER SLAUGHTER TO APPROVE THE REPUBLIC WASTE MAY REPORT WITH THE ISSUES NOTED.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? NOT HEARING ANY.

I WILL CALL FOR YOUR VOTE.

PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND IF YOU AGREE.

OK, DIANA, ARE YOU THERE? I'M HERE.

OK. OK, CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES, OK, SHE'S YOU AGREE? YES. OK, ANYONE? OK. ANYONE OPPOSED? NOT HEARING ANY MOTION PASSES 5-0.

OK, NEXT WE WILL GO TO ITEM NUMBER FOUR, CONSIDERATION AND OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON

[4. CONSIDERATION AND/OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON RESOLUTION NO. 2021-670, RATIFYING INTERIM CITY ATTORNEY. [PETTLE/OLSON]]

RATIFYING THE INTERIM ATTORNEY, INTERIM CITY ATTORNEY, AS YOU'LL SEE SITTING HERE BY ME AND SCOTT LEVINE, WHO WE ARE PROPOSING TO BE OUR INTERIM CITY ATTORNEY.

AND YOU ALL HAVE A COPY OF THE RESOLUTION IN YOUR PACKETS.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS? DO WE NEED TO HAVE A RETAINER OR ANYTHING WITH THIS AS WELL, OR ARE WE JUST SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE RESOLUTION? SO WE HAVE A FIVE CENT OFF MIC].

THIS, IN ESSENCE, IS RATIFYING WHAT WE'VE ALL BASICALLY AGREED TO.

AND IF THERE'S ANY OTHER COMMENTS? OK THEN, I WILL ASK FOR A MOTION.

MADAM MAYOR, I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE AND APPOINT SCOTT LEVINE AS OUR INTERIM CITY ATTORNEY AND APPROVED RESOLUTION NUMBER 2021-670.

OK, IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION.

WE GOT TO BE QUICKER, DIANA.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND WE HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 2021-670 RATIFYING THE APPOINTMENT OF SCOTT LEVINE AS OUR INTERIM MUNICIPAL ATTORNEY.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? THEN I WILL CALL FOR YOUR VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF APPROVING RESOLUTION NUMBER 2021-670.

OH, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

OK, DIANA, I APPROVE.

OK, ANYONE OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES 5-0, WELCOME.

WELCOME BACK.

NEXT WE HAVE CONSIDERATION AND OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ADVERTISING A

[5. CONSIDERATION AND/OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ADVERTISING REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS (RFQS) FOR CITY ATTORNEY. [PETTLE/OLSON/SAVAGE]]

[00:15:06]

WE WILL GO THROUGH A PROCESS AND DETERMINE A HIRING OF A NEW CITY ATTORNEY.

AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE TIME I JUST BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT WE HAD DONE IS WE'RE GOING TO GIVE IT A MONTH, LEAVE THE RFQ PROCESS OPEN FOR A MONTH JUST BECAUSE WE KNOW IF IT'S A FIRM OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, THEY'RE PROBABLY ALSO ATTENDING CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS WITH BUDGETS AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WE'RE JUST GIVING THEM A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA TIME HERE DURING THIS PERIOD OF TRANSITION TO GET THOSE RFQS IN. AND I BELIEVE WE PULLED UP HERE REAL QUICK, I APOLOGIZE.

I THINK WE DID UNTIL AUGUST 20TH.

AUGUST 20TH. YES.

SO A MONTH FROM TODAY TO GET THOSE IN.

AND THEN THAT PROCESS AFTER THAT COUNCIL CAN DECIDE ON THE QUALIFICATIONS OF HOW THEY WANT TO GO FORWARD FROM THAT.

RIGHT. OK.

ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS? IF NOT, I'LL TAKE A MOTION.

MADAM MAYOR, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE ADVERTISING REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS FOR CITY ATTORNEY AS PRESENTED.

OK, IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. OK, OK.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE THE REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS FOR CITY ATTORNEY SERVICES FOR WHICH RESPONSES WILL BE DUE BY AUGUST 20TH, 2021, AND THEN THROUGH A PROCESS AS DEVELOPED BY COUNCIL, A DECISION WILL BE MADE.

IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? DIANA? ANY DISCUSSION? I HAVE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. OK, THEN I'LL CALL FOR YOUR VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF GOING OUT FOR AN RFQ FOR A CITY ATTORNEY, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. OK, DIANA.

ANYONE OPPOSED? OK, MOTION PASSES 5-0.

OK, NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO A LITTLE BIT OUT OF ORDER.

WE'RE GOING TO GO ON.

YOU WANT TO EIGHT OR NINE? OK, WE'RE GOING TO GO ON ITEM EIGHT, CONSIDERATION AND OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON

[8. CONSIDERATION AND/OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON RESOLUTION NO. 2021-672 AWARDING THE 2021 ANNUAL MOWING CONTRACT. [MACHADO/OLSON/CITY ATTORNEY]]

EVERYTHING SEEMS GOOD. REMEMBER, IT GOES A LITTLE BIT.

YEAH. YEAH. I LOOKED AT ALL OF THOSE AND I THOUGHT THAT WORKED OUT REALLY WELL.

THE ONE QUESTION THAT I HAD JUST AS AN OVERALL QUESTION WAS THAT FOR THE CHEMICAL TREATMENTS AND EVERYTHING, WE DO THAT SEPARATELY.

AND I WAS JUST CURIOUS, GARY, IF YOU COULD GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION ON IS IS THERE A BENEFIT OF GOING WITH ONE COMPANY AND ROLLING THAT ALL TOGETHER OR HAVING IT SEPARATE? I'M JUST CURIOUS. WE'VE DONE IT SEPARATE BECAUSE YOU GOT A LITTLE MORE CONTROL OVER WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU DO IT THAT WAY.

AND WE CAN TRY TO BUILD THAT IN ALSO.

BUT THE COMPANY WE'VE GOT DOES A REALLY GOOD JOB.

I THINK IN THE PAST WE HAD HAD ONE COMPANY THAT DID BOTH.

THEY DID THE MAINTENANCE REAL GOOD, BUT THE CHEMICALS NOT REALLY GOOD.

SO IT'S JUST EASIER TO COMPETE WITH.

THEY'RE NOT DOING ONE. YEAH, THE ONLY REASON I BROUGHT IT UP IS WHEN I LOOK THROUGH ALL OF THOSE PROPOSALS, THEY ALL HAD PROVISIONS TO DO THAT AS WELL.

AND I WAS JUST THINKING, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S EASIER AND IF THE PRICE POINT WAS SIMILAR OR BETTER, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS A CONSIDERATION.

SO THAT'S ALL I WAS ASKING.

YEAH, I UNDERSTOOD FROM THE LAST TIME WHEN WE DID IT, SEPARATE IT.

SOME OF THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE LICENSURE, THAT TO HANDLE CERTAIN CHEMICALS, YOU HAD TO HAVE LICENSES WHICH JUST A YARD YOU DIDN'T NEED.

A VERY GOOD ANSWER TO MY QUESTIONS.

I HAVE JUST A JUST A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS AND A VERY GOOD PROPOSALS IN THERE.

THE PEOPLE DID TAKE THEIR TIME TO GIVE YOU SOME RESPONSES, WHICH WAS NICE.

[00:20:02]

AND IT KIND OF IMPLIES THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE AN ADDITIONAL COST FOR MULCH.

IS THAT PART OF THE? OK, AND NUMBER FIVE, ISSUE NUMBER FIVE, MY QUESTION HERE IS, DOES TRIMMING INCLUDE FLUSH CUTTING THE TREES, OR IS THAT GOING TO BE AN ADDITIONAL COST FOR US? NO, EVERYTHING SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS INITIAL COST WITHOUT CHANGING.

OK, AND ITEM NUMBER SEVEN, JUST A QUESTION.

WHERE DO WE HAVE VALVE BOXES? ARE THOSE JUST ON CITY PROPERTY HERE? NOT IN THE MEDIANS.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? GARY, ON SOME OF THESE ISSUES, AND THAT'S WHAT THE THE NOTE THAT I HAD ON SOME OF THE ISSUES IS, IT LOOKS LIKE SOME OF THE THINGS SUCH AS THE FLOWER BEDS WERE INCLUDED IN THE PREVIOUS CONTRACT.

WHY DID THAT VENDOR NOT TAKE CARE OF THOSE ISSUES? DO WE KNOW? HE WAS SUPPOSED TO HANDLE WEEDING OF THE FLOWER BEDS AND ALL THAT, I BELIEVE, ON JOE'S BID THAT WE APPROVED LAST TIME BECAUSE THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THERE.

BUT IT LOOKS LIKE ALMOST ALL OF OUR FLOWER BEDS DO HAVE WEEDS, INCLUDING THE ONES UP HERE HAVE WEEDS AND VINES THAT NEED TO BE REMOVED IN THE ISSUE LIST.

I MEAN, OF COURSE, WHEN THEY'RE GOING OUT, THEY'RE GOING TO TELL YOU ALL THE THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE WERE HANDLED APPROPRIATELY IN THE LAST CONTRACT THAT WE PAID FOR AS WELL.

MIC] THE LAST OF WHAT JOE WAS SIMILAR, WHICH IS HOW LAST TIME WHEN THEY BROUGHT A BID, WE WERE GOING TO GO WITH THE LOWEST ONE UNTIL WE REALIZED IT DIDN'T INCLUDE EVERYTHING YOU HAD IN THE BID. AND THAT'S WHAT WE ENDED UP CATCHING.

AND IT DIDN'T HAVE ALL THE MOWS, AND SO IT WAS CHEAPER, BUT THEY WEREN'T ACTUALLY MEETING OUR BID REQUIREMENTS. I ACTUALLY SAW THIS TIME THEY DO MEET OUR BID REQUIREMENTS.

BUT I JUST LIKE I SAID, THAT WAS ONE OF MY MAIN CONCERNS.

OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S [INAUDIBLE] ARE OVERGROWN, THAT THEY COULD BE A SIGHTLINE HAZARD FOR VEHICLES. WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT, TOO.

BUT I WAS MORE CONCERNED WITH BRINGING UP THAT.

WE MIGHT WANT TO LOOK AT JOE'S CONTRACT TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING ON THERE HE TOOK CARE OF WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. YEAH, WE CAN GET WE'LL DO THAT.

WE'LL HAVE. WE'LL GO THROUGH AND.

ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? MADAM MAYOR, IF I MAY? GO AHEAD.

MR. MACHADO WILL RESPOND.

[00:25:03]

A REASON TO DO IT IN MAY, AND THEY THAT CONVINCE GARY HAS A BETTER PLAN AND, YOU KNOW, THAT CAN BE DONE WITH THE CONTRACTORS, THIS MAY OR APRIL OR WHATEVER.

TO SELL THEMSELVES TO, YOU KNOW, OVER AND ABOVE THE PRICE THEY GAVE.

THE QUALIFICATIONS ARE ALREADY IN PLACE.

ANYBODY ELSE? OK, THANK YOU.

SO THAT IT'S SO THAT IT'S CLEAR THE NEXT STEP, IF YOU ACCEPT THE BIDDER AND MAKE A MOTION, WOULD BE TO NEGOTIATE A CONTRACT WITH THEM AND BRING THE CONTRACT BACK.

SO SO THOSE THINGS CAN BE ADDRESSED IN THE CONTRACT.

PART OF THE PROPOSAL HAD YOUR CONTRACT IN IT THAT THE CONTRACT AND I'M COMING WITH YOU TO THE CONTRACT HAD BEEN WRITTEN WITH ALREADY WRITTEN.

I THINK THE BRAND PUT THAT IN THERE AND THAT WAS PART OF THE PACKAGE, HAD A LITTLE BIT SCARED OF ALL THE ITEMS. THERE WAS A CONTRACT IN THERE THAT THEY ACTUALLY SIGNED IN ALL THE CONDITIONS THAT THEY HAD. SO I GUESS THE COUNCIL MEMBER QUESTION, THE CONTRACT SPECIFIES ALL THE TIME THAT WE HAVE THAT IN SPECIFICATION.

PART OF THE DOCUMENT.

IT WAS OUTLINED AT THE TIME OF THE YEAR.

THEY CAN DO CERTAIN THINGS THAT WHEN YOU GO THROUGH CERTAIN MONTHS.

OK, SO I'VE GOT TO SAY, PLANTING MORE FLOWERS, SPRING AND FALL, THE BEGINNING OF MARCH AND OCTOBER.

MARCH IS A LITTLE EARLY TO BE PLANTING SUMMER FLOWERS, SO YOU MAY BE MAKES MORE SENSE TO PUT IT AT THE END OF MARCH OR LESS.

FROST IS TYPICALLY MARCH 15TH, SO IT SHOULD BE REALLY APRIL 1ST.

SO I THINK THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BEING APRIL.

SO BUT I THINK THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEIR EXPERTISE THEY HAVE TO BRING TO THE TABLE .

RIGHT. SO THAT'S PROBABLY WHY THEY MADE THE ADJUSTMENT I THINK THE CONFUSION IS THERE'S TWO CONTRACTS, THE LAST ONE THAT SHE'S REFERRING TO IS THE ONE THAT BRANDON SHELBY WROTE, THE ONE RIGHT AFTER THE ORDINANCE IS THE ONE THAT HAS YOUR NAME ON IT, SCOTT.

AND IT ALIGNS WITH THEIR BID SCHEDULE, WHICH SAYS MARCH AND OCTOBER.

SO THE CONTRACT THAT YOU WROTE, WHICH IS AFTER THE ORDINANCE, ACTUALLY STATES THE RIGHT TIME FRAMES THE MARCH AND OCTOBER SIMILAR TO WHAT THEIR BID SCHEDULE STATES ON THEIRS.

BUT IF YOU GO TO 161, WHICH I THINK IT'S THE CONFUSING ONE, THAT'S THE ONE THAT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN WRITTEN BY BRANDON SHELBY OR AT LEAST HAS HIS NAME ON IT.

SO SO BOTH THESE WERE WRITTEN BY BRANDON OK, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? GOING ON NOW, IF SOMEONE WOULD LIKE, WE WOULD TAKE A MOTION ON RESOLUTION NUMBER 2021-671, AWARDING THE BID FOR THE CITY OF PARKER

[00:30:03]

[INAUDIBLE] OK, I'VE GOT 621.

671. 671.

OK, I STAND CORRECTED.

AWARDING THE 2021 ANNUAL MOWING CONTRACT TO YELLOWSTONE LANDSCAPING.

OK, I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION.

OK, WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER LYNCH AND A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER REED TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 2021-671, AWARDING THE ANNUAL MOWING CONTRACT TO YELLOWSTONE. MADAM MAYOR, ON THE ONLINE VERSION, IT SAYS 672.

SO I JUST WANT TO VERIFY IN THE ONE THAT I PRINTED OUT THIS MORNING FROM THE WEBSITE SAYS 672. SO I DON'T KNOW.

I WOULD JUST HATE FOR US TO APPROVE THE WRONG.

BUT THEN 672 IS ALSO THE ONE FOR THE PUMP STATION.

I THINK IT'S A TYPO.

671, I THINK SUPPOSED TO BE THIS ONE 672.

SUPPOSED TO BE AT THE PUMP STATION.

SORRY. OK, HOW ABOUT IF WE APPROVE THE RESOLUTION FOR THE ANNUAL MOWING CONTRACT IN AWARDING THE CONTRACT TO YELLOWSTONE? WILL THAT COVER IT, MR. ATTORNEY? OK, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? NOT HEARING ANYTHING, I'LL CALL FOR YOUR VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF AWARDING THE 2021-2022 ANNUAL MOWING CONTRACT TO YELLOWSTONE? PLEASE SPEAK OUT IF YOU'RE DIANA ABRAHAM AND RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND IF YOU'RE HERE.

MOTION PASSES 5-0.

THANK YOU ALL. OH, I'M SORRY ABOUT THE CONFUSION.

IS THIS IS YOUR COPY OR MY COPY? OK, NEXT WE WILL HAVE.

I NEED.

OK, THANK YOU, ALI.

OK, NEXT, WE'RE GOING TO GO ON ITEM NUMBER NINE CONSIDERATION AND OR ANY APPROPRIATE

[9. CONSIDERATION AND/OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON RESOLUTION NO. 2021-672 RATIFYING CENTRAL PUMP STATION/GROUND STORAGE RESERVOIR & NTMWD METER STATION CHANGE ORDER NO. 1. [OLSON/LEVINE/BANOWSKY/MACHADO]]

STATION CHANGE ORDER NUMBER ONE.

OK, MR. BIRKHOFF? JOHN BIRKHOFF OF BIRKHOFF, HENDRIKS, AND CARTER, DALLAS, TEXAS.

ABOUT A YEAR AGO, CONTRACT WAS ISSUED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PUMP STATION AND THROUGH THAT PROCESS, YOU KNOW, WE IT'S RESULTED IN A CHANGE ORDER.

AND SO THE DECISION WAS MADE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PUMP STATION WITHOUT INPUT FROM THE DISTRICT AT THE TIME.

AND I STILL THINK THAT IT'S STILL OUT THERE THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NOT A NEW CONTRACT WITH THE WATER DISTRICT.

THE WATER DISTRICT SAID, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING FOR PARKER UNTIL THEY GET A CONTRACT. SO IF WE HELD UP AND WE WERE STILL WAITING FOR CONTRACT, WE WOULD STILL HAVE NO DIRT TURNING FOR THE PUMP STATION.

DECISION WAS MADE. WE WENT OUT, WE GOT STARTED.

AND THAT PUT SOME PRESSURE ON THE DISTRICT TO RESPOND TO THE CITY.

MR. OLSON, YOU KNOW, GOT ON THE PHONE AND HAD SOME WORDS WITH THEM AND THAT STARTED TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.

WE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE DISTRICT OF GETTING RESPONSES BACK TO THE SHOP DRAWN

[00:35:02]

I MEAN, WE FINALLY GOT ENGINEERING TO RESPOND TO US.

SO IN THAT PROCESS, WHEN WE GOT THEIR COMMENTS BACK, THEY HAD SOME CHANGES THAT THEY WANTED TO TO MAKE.

YOU KNOW, AS WE GOT THROUGH THE SHOP, DRAWN PROCESS, THERE WERE THINGS THAT THEY DIDN'T WANT THIS TIME.

YOU KNOW, WE DID A SUBSTATION FOR FAIRVIEW THAT WAS VERY SIMILAR TO THIS.

AND THAT'S, YOU KNOW, WE IMPLEMENTED THE SAME ITEMS. SO THROUGH ALL THAT, THROUGH THAT PROCESS, YOU KNOW, THE CONTRACTOR CAME BACK AND WE HAD SOME ADDS AND SOME DEDUCTS IN THE PROCESS DURING THIS PAST YEAR.

THERE WERE A FEW COMMENTS OR DESIRES THAT THE CITY HAD THAT THEY DIDN'T CATCH IN THEIR REVIEWS OF THE PLANS.

AND THEY WERE PRETTY MINOR CHANGING AT A NINETY DEGREE BEND WITH TWO 45S OR CHANGING THE MATERIALS OF THE STRAP FROM GALVANIZED TO STAINLESS STEEL.

WE GOT IN TO BORING UNDER 2551 WITH TXDOT.

THE ANGLE THAT WE HAD TO TO BORE ACROSS.

, THEY DIDN'T PARTICULARLY LIKE THEY LIKE TO BE AT NINETY DEGREES.

THEY'LL GIVE YOU VARIANCES OF THAT ANGLE.

IN THIS CASE THEY SAID, WELL WE WANT YOU TO BORE FROM RIGHT AWAY TO RIGHT AWAY.

IN OTHER INSTANCES YOU BORE FROM TEN FEET OUTSIDE THE TRAVELING LANE.

SO GET THE TXDOT PERMIT KEEP THE CONTRACTOR GOING.

WE EXTENDED THE THE BORE LENGTH IN THIS PARTICULAR CONTRACT WE HAD SET UP.

A GOOD PART OF THIS IS LUMP-SUM THAT WAS CUSTOMARY ON THE PUMP STATION AND THEN WE BROKE OUT SOME OF THE PIPELINE AS INDIVIDUAL BID ITEMS. SO, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE EXTENDED THE BORE, THAT WAS A BIG ITEM PER LINEAR FOOT.

SO WE ADDED BORING AND WE TOOK AWAY FROM JUST OPEN CUT.

SO THESE WERE ALL BID ITEMS. SO IT WAS NOT IN ANYTHING NEGOTIATED.

A NUMBER OF ITEMS THAT THE DISTRICT HAD WERE NOT INDIVIDUAL ITEMS. SO, YOU KNOW, WE GOT NEW PRICES BACK FROM THE CONTRACTOR AND WE REVIEWED THAT.

AND, YOU KNOW, THEY SEEMED REASONABLE, FEW OF THEM.

WE WENT BACK AND FORTH WITH THE CONTRACTOR TO COME DOWN.

THE OTHER ITEM IN HERE WAS WE HAD PUMP TESTING.

YOU USUALLY DO A WITNESS TESTING IN PERSON TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PUMPS OR THE PUMPS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET IN YOUR CHECKING SERIAL NUMBER IS GOING THROUGH.

ON THE PUMP CURB PERFORMANCE.

THEY ACTUALLY RUN THEM. SO YOU CAN MAKE SURE THAT THE THE PRESSURE OR THE HEAD THAT YOU'RE PUMPING, THE FLOW YOU'RE GETTING IS EXACTLY WHAT WAS SPECIFIED.

SO THROUGH COVID, YOU KNOW, THAT ALL GOT SHUT DOWN.

SO WE WENT BACK AND GOT A DEDUCT FOR THAT.

AND THEY WERE THEY WERE PRETTY GENEROUS ON THE DEDUCT.

I THOUGHT I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED.

SO IN THE END, THIS CHANGE ORDER IS DEDUCT OF THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS ON THE CONTRACT AMOUNT.

OK. THAT'S ALWAYS A GOOD THING.

MOST CHANGE ORDERS GO THE OPPOSITE WAY.

OK, IS ANY COMMENTS DISCUSS.

OH, GO AHEAD. ONE CORRECTION IS ON THE RESOLUTION YOU PROBABLY HAD IN FRONT OF YOU IN SECTION ONE. IT AUTHORIZES THE MAYOR TO SIGN THE CHANGE ORDER.

IN THIS INSTANCE, THOUGH, WHEN I WHEN I GOT THE FILE I SAW THE CHANGE ORDER HAD BEEN SIGNED, SO I PUT TOGETHER.

A NEW RESOLUTION WHICH RATIFIES THE ACTION BY THE MAYOR IN SIGNING THE CHANGE ORDER ON THE [INAUDIBLE]. EVERYBODY UNDERSTAND? OK.

IT'S THE SAME RESOLUTION NUMBER? SAME RESOLUTION NUMBER.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS OBVIOUSLY THAT WE'RE RATIFYING INSTEAD OF AUTHORIZING.

RIGHT. OK, SO I HAVE A QUESTION REGARDING NORTH TEXAS WATER DISTRICT MAKING CHANGES AFTER THE FACT.

DO THEY ASSUME ANY OF THE COST OF THEIR CHANGES? I KNOW THAT'S PROBABLY A SILLY QUESTION, BUT IT SEEMS YEAH, NO, THE THE DISTRICT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE THE WATER LORDS.

YOU KNOW, THE KINGDOM GETS BIGGER AND THEY PRETTY MUCH COMMAND WHAT THEY WANT.

WHEN YOU WHEN YOU BUILD A NEW DELIVERY POINT, YOU KNOW, THEY REQUIRE THE CUSTOMER CITY TO PAY FOR THE METER STATION.

[00:40:01]

AND THAT'S THE WAY YOU GET WATER, YOU KNOW, ONCE YOU SIGN THE CONTRACT.

SO IN THE IN THE METER STATION, YOU KNOW THEY I THINK OVERALL THERE WAS NOT A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE, YOU KNOW, THE ITEMS THEY WANTED, BUT THEY ALSO TOOK OUT A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT CHLORINE ANALYZER SYSTEM, YOU KNOW, DEDUCTED TWENTY FOUR THOUSAND.

SO IN THE END, IT SOMEWHAT BALANCED OUT.

AND I'D HAVE TO ADD THE NUMBERS UP BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN A WORKING CHANGE ORDER FOR A YEAR. SO WE'VE ADDED THINGS, WE'VE DEDUCTED THINGS OFF AND ON.

BUT THERE'S SOME THINGS WE'VE TOLD NORTH TEXAS WE'RE ABSOLUTELY NOT DOING TO.

THEY WANTED, WHAT? A 20, A WIDER DRIVEWAY.

YEAH.

OR THE WIDTH OF THE DRIVEWAY.

SO THEY GAVE NO JUSTIFICATION.

SO WE WENT ON WITHOUT THEM.

YOU KNOW, THEY WANTED A CHANGE IN THE PIPE MATERIAL, YOU KNOW, WHICH IS PRETTY INSIGNIFICANT. THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT, YOU KNOW, GIVE IT TO THEM.

LET'S KEEP THIS THIS BALL ROLLING.

BUT THEY HAVE, IN ESSENCE, AGREED TO WHAT WE'VE GOT WE'RE CONSTRUCTING AT THIS POINT? YES MA'AM. WITH THE 15 FOOT VERSUS.

YEAH, RIGHT THEY WANT AT THE METER STATION, YOU KNOW, IN THE AND THE METER STATION WAS A LITTLE OVER A MILLION DOLLARS. I MEAN, IT'S NOT INSIGNIFICANT.

SO THESE CHANGES ARE SMALL.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE GETTING WHAT THEY WANT.

THEY'RE GETTING THE TYPE OF METER THEY WANT, THEY HAVE SOME GOLD PLATING, YOU KNOW, THAT THEY WANT. AND YOU GOT TO GIVE IT TO THEM.

YOU KNOW, AT SOME POINT, THE CITY'S GOING TO HAVE TO SIGN A CONTRACT WITH THE DISTRICT SO YOUR CONTRACTOR CAN TAP THEIR LINE.

THEY'RE REFUSING TO ALLOW THE CONTRACTOR TO DO A TAP.

SO WHEN WE'RE, YOU KNOW, CONTINUING ALONG BUILDING, KNOWING THAT ONE DAY THAT CONTRACT WILL BE SIGNED. AND WE AND WE DID THIS IN FAIRVIEW, GOT THROUGH CONSTRUCTION.

AND SOMEWHERE THE DISTRICT AND THE CITY CAME TO AGREEMENT ON A CONTRACT AND SIGNED IT.

AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY WERE READY TO TURN WATER ON, THEY WERE READY, THE PROGRESS OUT THERE IS MOVING ALONG PRETTY MUCH ON SCHEDULE.

THERE'S BEEN DELAYS.

THERE'S BEEN DELAYS IN MATERIALS, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE OF THE SNOW, COVID ANYTHING, YOU KNOW, ANY ANY DELAY THEY CAN CLAIM, YOU KNOW YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GIVE IT TO THEM. AND WE WERE NOT UNDER PRESSURE TO HAVE THIS STATION FINISHED FOR THE SUMMER OF 2021 BASED ON WHEN WE BID IT.

WE KNEW THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE IN THE FALL.

AND SO ANY DELAYS, YOU KNOW, AFTER, YOU KNOW, SUMMER BREAKS, IF WE EVER GET SUMMER, WHEN THAT BREAKS, YOU KNOW, WE FINISH UP IN OCTOBER.

YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE NOT WE DON'T HAVE A CONTRACT.

THE CONTRACTOR NEEDS MORE TIME.

WE'RE REALLY PUSHING NOW TO BE ABLE TO PUMP WATER NEXT SUMMER.

COME APRIL, MAY, WE'D LIKE TO HAVE THAT STATION ONLINE AND BE READY FOR A HOT SUMMER IF WE EVER GET ONE AGAIN. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR. BIRKHOFF? DID YOU HAVE QUESTIONS? OK. THEN HEARING NONE.

THEN I WOULD ASK OR I WOULD TAKE A MOTION ON RESOLUTION APPROVING RESOLUTION NUMBER 2021-672, RATIFYING THE CHANGE ORDER.

MADAM MAYOR, I'LL MAKE THE MOTION APPROVING ORDINANCE 2021-672 AND RATIFYING THE CHANGE ORDER THAT'S ALREADY BEEN SIGNED.

OK. IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION. OK, WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER SLAUGHTER AND A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER REED APPROVING RESOLUTION NUMBER 2021-672 RATIFYING THE CHANGE ORDER THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN SIGNED.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE. THEN I'LL CALL FOR YOUR VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF APPROVING RESOLUTION NUMBER 2021-672.

PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND OR SPEAK OUT.

I AGREE WITH MADAM MAYOR.

OK, ANYONE OPPOSED.

OK, NOT HEARING ANY OPPOSE.

MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO.

THANK YOU. OK, NOW WE'LL GO BACK TO ITEM NUMBER SIX.

[6. CONSIDERATION AND/OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON ORDINANCE NO. 803, REGARDING PERFORMANCE BONDS. [OLSON/LEVINE/BANOWSKY/MACHADO]]

OVER THE, MADAM MAYOR AND COUNCIL, OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS OF ME BEING

[00:45:06]

I THINK IT WAS KIND OF BROUGHT TO LIGHT WITH KINGS CROSSING TO PHASE THREE.

SO WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE ASKING Y'ALL TO APPROVE HAVING THIS PERFORMANCE BONDS PUT IN PLACE BY THE CONTRACTOR.

SO WE CAN IF THEY'RE DOING ANY PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, WE DO HAVE A RECOURSE TO GO BACK FOR THAT AND GETTING THOSE THINGS TAKEN CARE OF.

I WOULD LIKE TO MODIFY THE ORDINANCE IN FRONT OF YOU.

IF YOU'D LOOK ON PAGE 87, WERE IT SAYS ONE HUNDRED AND TEN PERCENT OF THE COST TO CONSTRUCT AND COMPLETE ALL REQUIRED PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CITY'S STANDARDS, AS ESTIMATED BY THE APPLICANT'S PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER AND APPROVED BY THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR.

I WOULD LIKE THIS TO READ AS APPROVED BY THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR AND THE CITY ENGINEER.

IN OTHER WORDS, THEY BOTH HAVE TO APPROVE IT.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THE SAME CHANGE ON PAGE.

I THINK IT'S 90.

THAT'S FINE WITH ME TOO MADAM MAYOR. OK, THANK YOU.

IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR CHANGES? I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS, MORE CLARIFICATION OF THAT I'M UNDERSTANDING THIS CORRECTLY.

SO IF THE COUNCIL DENIES THE THE REQUEST, DOES THIS MEAN THAT THE FINAL PLAT WILL NOT BE APPROVED AND LOTS CANNOT BE SOLD? WHAT PAGE PAGE 89.

WHAT I.

BUT WE DENY IT, WHAT DOES THAT DOES THAT MEAN THEY CAN'T WE'RE TELLING THEM THAT THEY CAN'T SELL THE LOTS OR THEY WILL, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GET THEIR FINAL PLAT AT THIS TIME, I GATHER, AND THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK.

AND YOU'RE SPEAKING OF THE, YOU'RE SPEAKING IN THE SUBDIVISION IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT, NOT THE NOT THAT THEY'RE FAILING ON PERFORMANCE AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A BOND.

CORRECT. JUST WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE SETTING THIS AGREEMENT UP, BUT I'M NOT SEEING WHERE THE AGREEMENT ENDS.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO APPROVE, APPROVE WITH CONDITIONS OR DENY, BUT I'M NOT QUITE SURE I SEE.

DO THEY JUST COME BACK AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL THEY FINALLY GET APPROVAL? I'M NOT SURE THE, ARE YOU SAYING IF WE'RE NOT ABLE TO REACH AGREEMENT WITH THEM, IF THEY WON'T DO THAT BECAUSE THEY'RE OBLIGATED.

WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO REQUIRE THE PERFORMANCE BONDS AND WE CAN ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT TO THAT EFFECT, IF THEY'RE UNWILLING TO DO THAT.

THAT MAY STOP THE PROCESS.

AND SO THAT IS WHAT I'M ASKING.

AND SO THEY WOULD BASICALLY HAVE TO THEN GO AND CORRECT THE DEFICIENCIES AT THAT TIME.

OK. OK.

IF I'M UNDERSTANDING. YEAH. OK, SO SO THEN LET'S SAY WE APPROVE IT AND WE GET THE 110 PERCENT. WHAT'S THE PROCESS FOR SETTLEMENT OF THAT MONEY.

BASICALLY THE PERFORMANCE BOND IS, PERFORMANCE BOND, LETTER OF CREDIT OR ANYTHING DOWN THAT LINE THAT WE'VE RECOMMENDED HERE.

BASICALLY THOSE PERFORMANCE BONDS, THEY'LL GIVE IT TO US.

THEY'LL HAVE AN END DATE ON THEM.

THAT END DATE WILL TYPICALLY WHAT I'VE DONE IN THE PAST, AND I'M SURE GARY WILL DO OR DOES, IS ABOUT THREE MONTHS BEFORE THE END OF THAT PERFORMANCE BOND WE'LL WALK THAT SUBDIVISION, MAKE SURE THAT ALL THOSE MAINTENANCE BOND AND STUFF LIKE THAT CORRESPONDS.

[00:50:19]

IT'S ALMOST LIKE THAT MONEY'S IN ESCROW THAT WE COULD TAKE IF WE WANT IT, RIGHT.

YEAH. AND AND THIS IS WHERE THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS AND CITY ADMINISTRATOR APPROVED THOSE AND DETERMINE.

AS PART OF THE PROJECT IN THE BEGINNING, WHEN THEY COME BEFORE THEY GO TO P&Z, WE'LL SEE THAT THEY OK, THANK YOU.

ANY TIME YOU'RE DOING PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS, YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY FINISH THEM.

THAT'S AN IDEA. [LAUGHTER] ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE TAP AND WATER LINES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. WE DON'T WANT THEM TO MESS UP ANYTHING.

AND YEAH. A LOT OF PROTECTIONS IN PLACE TODAY.

BUT IT'S EASIER WITH THE PERFORMANCE BONDS, BECAUSE . YEAH, I AGREE WITH IT.

AGAIN, I'M JUST WANTING TO MAKE SURE I SEE THE WHOLE PROCESS AND HOW IT FALLS OUT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE REVIEWING THINGS APPROPRIATELY AND GETTING THE THE ASSURANCES WE NEED.

THANK YOU. GARY HAS USUALLY A STAFF MEMBER WHEN THEY'RE TAPPING LINES, ANYTHING LANE LINES. THEY HAVE TO GET OUR APPROVAL BEFORE THEY CAN CLOSE TRENCHES ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

SUBBASE, WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE ALL THE SUBBASE REPORTS COME BACK.

ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION? IF NOT, I WILL CALL FOR A MOTION.

MADAM MAYOR, I'LL MAKE A MOTION APPROVING ORDINANCE 803 REGARDING PERFORMANCE BONDS WITH THE ALTERATIONS TO THE SECTIONS DESCRIBED, WHAT WAS IT? SECTION REGARDING ADDING CITY ADMINISTRATOR AND CITY ENGINEER TO THE PAGE 87 SUBSET AND ON PAGE NINETY THREE.

SECTION B. SUBSECTION B.

OK, OK.

IS THERE A SECOND.

SECOND.

I MAKE THE SECOND MADAM MAYOR. OK.

[INAUDIBLE] EVERYONE FORGETTING ABOUT ME [INAUDIBLE].

WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER SLAUGHTER AND A SECOND MEYER COUNCIL MEMBER MEYER TO APPROVE RESOLUTION EXCUSE ME, ORDINANCE NUMBER 803, WITH THE CHANGES MADE ON PAGE EIGHTY, EIGHTY NINE NO, EXCUSE ME, EIGHTY SEVEN PARAGRAPH B TO ADD BOTH CITY ENGINEER AS WELL AS CITY ADMINISTRATOR. AND THEN ON PAGE 90 UNDER SECTION B ALSO ADDING THE CITY ENGINEER.

IN ANY OTHER DISCUSSION, CHANGES, COMMENTS, NOT HEARING ANY, I'LL CALL FOR YOUR VOTES, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF APPROVING ORDINANCE NUMBER 803, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND OR YELL OUT. I APPROVE, MADAM MAYOR.

OK. ANYONE OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES, FIVE ZERO ORDINANCE PASSES FIVE ZERO.

OK, AND NOW WE ARE AT ITEM NUMBER SEVEN CONSIDERATION AND OR ANY

[7. CONSIDERATION AND/OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON ORDINANCE NO. 804, ELECTING FOR THE CITY OF PARKER TO MAKE CURRENT SERVICE AND PRIOR SERVICE CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CITY’S ACCOUNT IN THE BENEFIT ACCUMULATION FUND OF THE TEXAS MUNICIPAL RETIREMENT SYSTEM AT THE ACTUARIALLY DETERMINED RATE OF TOTAL EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION. [OLSON/LEVINE/BANOWSKY/SAVAGE]]

OK, GRANT, ARE YOU HANDLING THIS OR SOMEONE HERE? NO. SO MR. COLLIN DAVIDSON FROM TMRS IS GOING TO BE HERE TO COVER THAT AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

GOOD EVENING, I LOVE THE LOGO, BY THE WAY.

IT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER SEEN IT.

I LOVE THAT. SAW THE SHIRT IN THE BACK AND IT'S REALLY COOL.

[00:55:02]

ESSENTIALLY, WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY IS PART OF THE TMRS LAW.

THE STATUTE THAT GOVERNS TMRS PUTS IN PLACE A MAXIMUM AMOUNT THAT A CITY CAN PAY FOR THE BENEFITS THEY PROVIDE TO TMRS. IT'S AMOUNT. ESSENTIALLY, THIS WAS PUT INTO PLACE BACK IN THE 1940S WHEN TMRS WAS FIRST BEING SHOPPED AROUND. NOBODY KNEW HOW MUCH IT WOULD ACTUALLY COST.

AND SO THEY PUT IN THIS KIND OF LIMIT SAYING, YOU KNOW, JUST IN CASE THE CITY JOINS, LET'S LET'S PUT SOME CAP ON THE AMOUNT THEY CAN ACTUALLY PAY.

THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, THIS CAP HAS NEVER BEEN REMOVED AS A SYSTEM WIDE.

AND SO CITIES, AS THEY GET CLOSER TO THIS CAP, HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

AND SO ESSENTIALLY, WHAT WOULD BE THE THE IN FRONT OF THE COUNCIL THIS EVENING WOULD BE TO REMOVE THIS CAP, ESSENTIALLY THE COST, THE WAY THE TMRS FUNDS THE BENEFIT THROUGH THE CITY. IS IT A CONTRIBUTION RATE THAT EACH CITY PAYS TO FUND TMRS, FOR 2022 THAT CONTRIBUTION RATE IS GOING TO BE THIRTEEN POINT EIGHT ONE PERCENT OF THE CITY'S PAYROLL.

THE CAP FOR THE CITY IS THIRTEEN POINT FIVE PERCENT.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT THE ISSUE HAS COME UP, IS THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME, ACTUALLY, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 1999, ACTUALLY THE CITY CAME UP AGAINST THIS CAP AND AT THAT TIME THERE WAS AN ABILITY TO INCREASE THE CAP BY ONE PERCENT.

SO IT ACTUALLY USED TO BE TWELVE AND A HALF PERCENT.

THE CITY BUMPED IT UP TO THIRTEEN AND A HALF PERCENT, THINKING THAT IF IT EVER CAME TO THIS POINT IN THE FUTURE, THEY'D HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REMOVE THAT.

WELL, THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE'RE AT TODAY, THAT NOW THAT YOU'VE REACHED THAT CAP, THE CITY HAS THE OPTION TO GO AHEAD AND REMOVE IT FROM THE CITY'S PLAN.

OK, COUNCIL, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? I NEED YOU TO PLEASE IDENTIFY YOURSELF ON THE.

YOU'D THINK AFTER ALL THESE MEETINGS, COLLIN DAVIDSON.

I'M A CITY SERVICES MANAGER WITH TMRS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR. DAVIDSON? OK, GRANT, BEFORE YOU RUN OFF? GRANT. SURE. I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT OUR BUDGET FINANCIALLY? SO THE PROPOSED BUDGET THAT'S ALREADY PRESENTED HAD THE 13.1 PERCENT BUILT INTO IT.

SO SO WHAT YOU SAW LAST WEEK, ALREADY HAD THIS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT.

WAS IT COLLIN? I THINK WE WERE ONLY ONE OF TWO CITIES LEFT ON THAT OLD CONTRACT.

WELL, IT'S KIND OF AN INTERESTING DEAL.

IT'S IT'S YOU'RE ONE OF TWO CITIES THAT HAVE REACHED THE LIMIT AT THIS THIS YEAR.

YEAH, SORRY. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT BEFORE THE MEETING.

IT'S ACTUALLY AND SO JUST TO BE HONEST, ANY CITY THAT'S JOINED SINCE 1996 DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THIS LIMIT. WE'VE KIND OF TAKEN A PIECEMEAL APPROACH IN TMRS AS A SYSTEM OF GETTING RID OF THIS THING. WE'VE MADE ADJUSTMENTS THREE DIFFERENT TIMES.

WE'VE NEVER GOTTEN THE KIND OF POLITICAL WILL TO ACTUALLY GET RID OF IT, GO TO THE LEGISLATURE AND SAY WE WANT TO REMOVE IT FOR ALL CITIES.

SO THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO DO IT THIS YEAR.

THERE'S TWO CITIES THIS YEAR THAT HAVE RUN UP AGAINST THIS.

SO I'LL BE VISITING LITTLE ELM, KIND OF HAVING THE SAME KIND OF DISCUSSION WITH THEM.

AND SO, YEAH, THERE'S TWO THIS YEAR, BUT OVER THE MAJORITY OF CITIES NOW HAVE REMOVED THE CAP OR ANY CITY THAT'S JOINED THE LAST TWENTY FIVE YEARS HASN'T HAD PART OF IT.

ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS.

YOU LOOK LIKE YOU HAVE A QUESTION.

IT CAN BE SOMETHING OUTSIDE OF THIS, TOO, IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT TMRS OR? I GUESS ISN'T IT TO OUR ADVANTAGE TO HAVE THE CAP THERE? WELL, THE THING ABOUT THE CAP IS ALL THE CAP DOES IS IT PUTS A LIMIT OF HOW MUCH THE CITY CAN PAY. IT DOESN'T PUT A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH THE BENEFITS COST.

SO IF THIS EXAMPLE THE BECAUSE IT WASN'T MENTIONED, BUT THE CITY CAN SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, BECAUSE THIS CAP EXISTS, THE CITY CAN SAY RIGHT NOW WE DON'T WANT TO PAY THE THIRTEEN POINT EIGHT ONE PERCENT, WE WANT TO PAY THE THIRTEEN POINT FIVE PERCENT.

IF THE CITY DOES THAT, THOUGH, A COUPLE OF THINGS.

THE FIRST IS THAT YOU WOULDN'T BE FULLY FUNDING THE COST OF THE BENEFITS, ESSENTIALLY TMRS IS SAYING THAT THE COST OF BENEFITS FOR 2022 TO MAKE SURE THERE'S ENOUGH MONEY SET ASIDE FOR THE RETIREMENT IS THIS AMOUNT AND THE CITY WOULD BE PAYING LESS THAN THAT.

SO THE FIRST THING IS THAT IT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY BE YOU WOULDN'T BE FULLY FUNDING THE COST OF THE BENEFIT. BUT SECOND AND AGAIN, I'LL REMIND YOU THAT THIS IS A STATUTE THAT'S OVER 60 YEARS OLD.

IS THAT PART OF THAT IS IF THE CITY CHOOSES TO NOT REMOVE IT, YOU CAN PAY EITHER THE THIRTEEN POINT EIGHT ONE WITHOUT REMOVING IT OR YOU CAN PAY THE 13.50 WITHOUT REMOVING IT. BUT IN EITHER CASE, BECAUSE THE CITY HAS THIS MAX THEY HAVEN'T DEALT WITH THE LEVEL OF BENEFITS THAT YOU'RE PROVIDING TO YOUR EMPLOYEES IN 2022 WILL ACTUALLY BE AUTOMATICALLY REDUCED.

ONE OF THE PROVISIONS THAT THE CITY PROVIDES IS AN INFLATIONARY CALCULATION THAT'S KNOWN AS UPDATED SERVICE CREDIT.

AND WITHOUT GETTING TOO MUCH INTO IT, THOSE BENEFITS ARE AUTOMATICALLY TURNED OFF.

SO ESSENTIALLY WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN 2022 IS THE CITY WOULD PAY EITHER THIRTEEN POINT FIVE OR THE THIRTEEN EIGHT ONE.

BUT IF YOU DON'T TAKE ACTION OR MOVE THIS CAP, YOU'LL BE PAYING THAT AMOUNT WITH A LOWER LEVEL OF BENEFITS. SO NOW YOU'LL BE PAYING A HIGHER AMOUNT THAN WHAT IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE PROVIDED. SO THE BENEFITS GET AUTOMATICALLY REDUCED IF THIS CAP ISN'T TAKEN CARE OF.

BUT YOU COULD YOU COULD CHOOSE IF THE CITY WANTS TO, TO HAVE THAT CAP IN PLACE.

[01:00:03]

WE CAN LOOK AT DIFFERENT OPTIONS TO REDUCE BENEFITS OR DO DIFFERENT THINGS, BUT THE COST OF THE BENEFITS REALLY ISN'T AFFECTED BY THIS.

THIS STATUTORY MAXIMUM CONTRIBUTION LIMIT IS REALLY ABOUT LIMITING HOW MUCH A CITY CAN ACTUALLY PAY TO FUND THEIR TMRS, THAT WAS KIND OF A LONG ANSWER.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? YES.

OK, THANK YOU. SURE THING. OK, SO IF WE DON'T FULLY FUND, THEN YOU REDUCE BENEFITS.

IN THIS ONLY BECAUSE OF THE STATUTORY MAX, BECAUSE A CITY BY LAW IS REQUIRED TO FULLY FUND. SO ESSENTIALLY WHAT OUR STATUTE DOES IS THAT IF A CITY SAYS, HEY, WE'RE NOT GOING TO PAY THE FULL AMOUNT, WE'RE NOT GOING TO KEEP THAT CAP IN PLACE, THEN OUR SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY TURNS OFF ANY TYPE OF INFLATIONARY CALCULATION, WHICH THIS ONE IS FOR THE EMPLOYEES. THE CITY DOESN'T OFFER ONE THAT'S FOR THE RETIREES.

THE SAME THING WOULD HAPPEN IF THE CITY DID.

ANYTHING ELSE? THANK YOU. [INAUDIBLE] AT THIS TIME.

I WILL ASK, IS THERE A MOTION? EVERYONE'S WAITING FOR DIANE.

[LAUGHTER] MADAM MAYOR I MAKE A MOTION TO.

APPROVE. APPROVE RESOLUTION 804.

ORDINANCE. ORDINANCE.

APPROVE RESOLUTION. I'M SORRY, ON MY COPY [INAUDIBLE].

YEAH. OK, SO MAKE A RESOLUTION ON [INAUDIBLE] ORDINANCE 804 [INAUDIBLE] CITY OF PARKER TO MAKE CURRENT SERVICE AND PRIOR SERVICE CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CITY'S ACCOUNT IN THE BENEFIT ACCUMULATION FUND OF THE TMRS AT THE ACTUARIALLY DETERMINED RATE OF TOTAL EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION. OK, IS THERE A SECOND.

I'LL SECOND THAT.

WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER ABRAHAM AND A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER LYNCH TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 804 WHICH WOULD.

OH, I'M SORRY, THOUGHT YOU SAID SOMETHING, WHICH WOULD CHANGE THE CITY'S, PARDON, FROM THE CAP FROM THIRTEEN POINT FIVE TO THIRTEEN POINT EIGHT ONE.

[INAUDIBLE] PARDON.

SO, TECHNICALLY, HERE YOU GO.

OK TO MY CURRENT SERVICE, OK.

OH, OK, ELECTING FOR THE CITY OF PARKER TO MAKE CURRENT SERVICE AND PRIOR ACCUMULATION FUNDS OF THE TEXAS MUNICIPAL RETIREMENT SYSTEM AT THE ACTUARIALLY.

I CAN'T SAY THAT WORD, ACTUARIALLY DETERMINED RATE OF TOTAL EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION.

OK, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION.

IF NOT, I WILL CALL FOR YOUR VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF ORDINANCE NUMBER 804.

PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND OR SPEAK OUT.

I APPROVE MADAM MAYOR.

OK. ANYONE OPPOSED.

OK, ORDINANCE 804 IS PASSED FIVE ZERO.

THANK Y'ALL. AND I'LL PRACTICE ON SAYING THAT WORD.

[10. CONSIDERATION AND/OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON EXCUSING COUNCIL MEMBER DIANA ABRAHAM'S ABSENCE FROM SCHEDULED COUNCIL MEETINGS ON 7/20, 8/3 AND 8/17 DUE TO MANDATED TRAVEL FOR WORK. [PETTLE/ LEVINE/BANOWSKY]]

I THINK WE CAN REMOVE THE 7/20 FROM THAT SINCE COUNCIL MEMBER ABRAHAM IS PRESIDENT BY PHONE AND PARTICIPATING.

SO I WOULD SAY IT IS FOR 8/3 AND 8/17.

OK. PLEASE GO AHEAD.

I'M SORRY I ABOUT [INAUDIBLE] THERE'S A DELAY, SO I APOLOGIZE ABOUT THAT.

OK, IF I MAY, I JUST WANT TO [INAUDIBLE], THE CITY KNOW THAT DUE TO COVID RESTRICTIONS

[01:05:04]

PHYSICALLY. I AM GOING TO TRY TO [INAUDIBLE] TODAY, CALL IN WHEN I AM AVAILABLE OR ABLE TO CALL IN. I THINK I'LL BE ABLE TO CALL CALLING ON THE 14TH.

BUT JUST IN THE EVENT I CAN NOT, I JUST WANTED TO NOTIFY THE COUNCIL SO THAT IS WHY [INAUDIBLE].

17TH. YOU MEAN THE 17TH RATHER THAN THE 14TH? AUGUST 17TH, [INAUDIBLE] OK, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT OUR NEXT TWO REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETINGS.

YES. OK.

I WILL BE ABLE TO CALL IN ON THE AUGUST MEETING, THE AUGUST 14TH [INAUDIBLE].

OK. OK, COUNCIL, THANK YOU.

OK, OK, COUNCIL, COUNCIL MEMBER ABRAHAM IS ASKING FOR THOSE ABSENCES.

SHOULD THEY HAVE TO OCCUR TO BE EXCUSED? ANY QUESTIONS FOR COUNCIL MEMBER ABRAHAM? IF SHE'S TRYING TO SAY SOMETHING.

[INAUDIBLE] OK, ANY QUESTIONS.

COMMENTS, ANY? OK, OK THEN I WOULD ACCEPT A MOTION TO EXCUSE COUNCIL MEMBER DIANE ABRAHAM'S ABSENCE FROM SCHEDULED COUNCIL MEETINGS ON AUGUST 3RD AND AUGUST 17TH.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO EXCUSE COUNCILMAN ABRAHAM AND ALLOW HER ABSENCE FROM THE COUNCIL MEETINGS ON 8/3 AND 8/17 DUE TO MANDATED TRAVEL FROM HER WORK.

OK, IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND MADAM MAYOR. OK, WE HAVE A MOTION BY.

MADAM MAYOR? YES, I INDICATED THAT I WON'T BE ABLE TO CALL IN ON THE 17TH, I JUST WILL NOT BE PHYSICALLY THERE AT THE MEETING.

OK, WELL THAT WOULD BE IF NEEDED.

THE ONE BEFORE THAT.

OK. THEN WE WILL AMEND THE MOTION TO READ IF NEEDED.

OR YOU TECHNICALLY STILL EXCUSE HER ATTENDANCE IF SHE'S ABLE TO ATTEND.

THAT'S WONDERFUL BY PHONE, BUT YOU'VE GOT THE MOTION ON THE DOCKET [INAUDIBLE].

SO. OK THEN WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER REED AND A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER SLAUGHTER TO EXCUSE COUNCIL MEMBER DIANA ABRAHAM'S ABSENCE FROM THE SCHEDULED MEETINGS ON 8/3 AND 8/17.

DUE TO MANDATED WORK TRAVEL.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? IF NOT, I'LL CALL FOR YOUR VOTE.

ALL IN FAVOR OF EXCUSING COUNCIL MEMBER ABRAHAM FROM SCHEDULED MEETING.

OK, AND DIANA.

SHE WOULD LIKELY ABSTAIN. I APPROVE.

OK, YOU ABSTAIN.

OK, OK OK.

ANYBODY OPPOSED.

OK, IT PASSES FOUR ZERO WITH COUNCIL MEMBER ABRAHAM ABSTAINING.

OK, NOW WE'RE TO ITEM NUMBER ELEVEN.

[11. DISCUSSION, CONSIDERATION AND ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX. [LYNCH/REED]]

MS. LYNCH. AND ACTUALLY I'M GOING TO LET MR. REED TAKE UP.

TAKE IT. YEAH.

THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. THANK YOU, COUNCIL.

WE DO HAVE A SMALL POWERPOINT THAT I WANTED TO KIND OF GO THROUGH AND USE AS A MEMORY JOGGER AND TO GO AHEAD AND FORWARD SOME INFORMATION.

SORRY, DIANA, I DID NOT THINK TO GET THIS TO YOU, BUT HOPEFULLY WE CAN DISCUSS IT AND YOU'LL YOU'LL HEAR IT'S NOT VERY LONG.

SO AGAIN, I DO THANK YOU FOR THE.

NO WORRIES. I DO THANK YOU FOR THE FLOOR.

AND AS I SAID, WE WANTED TO JUST GO THROUGH AND A FEW ITEMS THAT I THINK ARE WORTH DISCUSSING REGARDING THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX.

SO OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A RENDITION AND WE'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK.

AND AS A PREFACE TO THIS, I WANTED TO JUST KIND OF SAY THAT I REALLY HAVE BEEN HAPPY WITH ALL OF THE PROGRESS THAT WE'VE MADE AS WE'RE MOVING FORWARD ON THIS.

[01:10:03]

SO AT ANY RATE, THERE'S A RENDITION THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT.

IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, LUKE, HERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A BACKGROUND.

WE ALL KNOW THIS, PARKER HAS GROWN.

THE FACILITIES THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE ARE INADEQUATE FOR THE CITY'S NEEDS.

THERE'S TONS OF TIME THAT HAVE BEEN SPENT TO REVIEW THIS SITUATION, TO KIND OF GET TO A POINT WHERE WE'RE NOT BOUND LIKE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE PREVIOUS PROPOSAL, I.E.

THE BOND, WAS NOT ACCEPTED BY THE COMMUNITY.

SO WHAT I HAVE HERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF A CLASSIC DEFINITION OF A NEEDS STATEMENT, IF YOU WILL. AND WHAT A NEED STATEMENT KIND OF GOES THROUGH IS.

NUMBER ONE PINPOINTING THE PROBLEM, NUMBER TWO, EVALUATING THE CURRENT CONDITION, NUMBER THREE, EVALUATING WHAT FUTURE STATE WE WANT TO BE AT.

AND THEN I HAVE TWO BULLETS IN RED BECAUSE I'LL STOP HERE FOR A SECOND BECAUSE WE HAVE PINPOINTED THE PROBLEM.

WE HAVE EVALUATED THE CURRENT CONDITION.

WE KNOW WHAT WE WANT TO DO. WE KNOW THE FUTURE STATE WHERE WE WANT TO BE.

OK.

AND NOW WE'RE KIND OF WRESTLING WITH THE TWO BULLETS THAT I HAVE IN RED.

THE FIRST ONE IS EVALUATE OPTIONS, MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS.

IN THE PAST, THERE WAS ONLY ONE PROPOSAL, AND I THINK THAT'S WHERE THE STUMBLING BLOCK WAS FOR THE MAIN, AT LEAST FROM MY PERSPECTIVE.

ONE OF THE REASONS I'M ON THIS COUNCIL WAS BECAUSE OF THAT.

THE SECOND ONE IS DEVELOPING A ROADMAP AND ALIGNING WITH THE CITY OUTLOOK.

WE WERE LOOKING AT 8000 OR 9000 RESIDENTS AND THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE ARE.

THEN AFTER ALL, THAT WE'LL INITIATE A CONSTRUCTION PLAN.

SO THAT'S THAT PART OF IT.

SO LET'S MOVE TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

YES? ANY DISCUSSION, GO BACK.

PREVIOUS PAGE, YOU SAY PINPOINT THE PROBLEM.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT? WELL, WHAT I MEAN BY PINPOINTING THE PROBLEM IS THAT WE'VE OUTGROWN THE FACILITY.

KIND OF WHAT I SAID IN THE BEGINNING.

AND THAT'S THE PINPOINT PROBLEM.

I THINK WE'VE SEEN THAT WE KNEW THE CURRENT CONDITION WITH THIS FACILITY.

FORTY FIVE HUNDRED SQUARE FEET DOESN'T CUT IT AND YOU KNOW ALL THAT.

SO, I MEAN, I THINK WE'VE DONE A GOOD JOB AND ALL THAT, BUT I THINK SOME OF THESE OTHER YOU KNOW, WE'RE WRESTLING THROUGH AND THIS IS WHERE KIND OF SOME OF THE [INAUDIBLE].

I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE I'M CLEAR ON UNDERSTANDING.

ABSOLUTELY. EVALUATE THE CURRENT CONDITION IS OUT OF THIS BUILDING OR OF OF WHAT'S GOING ON? YEAH, NO, THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S GOOD.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT LITTLE BIT MORE.

BUT THAT YES, IT IS INVOLVING THE CONDITION OF THE BUILDING TO SOME DEGREE.

BUT MORE SPECIFICALLY, I THINK THAT WE'VE JUST OUTGROWN IT.

THAT'S THAT'S THE I THINK MAIN, AT LEAST FROM THE MEETINGS I'VE BEEN INVOLVED WITH AND ALL OF THE WORKSHOPS THAT I'VE BEEN AT.

AND OF COURSE, WE CAN HAVE WE'LL HAVE DISCUSSION ON THIS.

BUT, YOU KNOW, JUST TO MAKE SURE.

SO OK, SO LET'S GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

SO A NUMBER OF VERY GOOD IDEAS HAVE BEEN PROPOSED.

AND SO I WANT TO JUST MAKE SURE THAT GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.

WE MOVED A LONG WAY IN THE SHORT TIME THAT I'VE BEEN ON THE COUNCIL.

I THINK WE'VE WE'VE DONE A LOT NOW.

WE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF A GAP BETWEEN DECEMBER AND NOW OR JANUARY, REALLY.

BUT ANYWAY, A NUMBER OF GREAT IDEAS, IDEAS ARE BEING REVIEWED.

THE VIABILITY OF REPURPOSING THE FACILITY, IF THAT MAKES SENSE, IS IN THE FOLD AND THE COMMUNITY IS GETTING INVOLVED.

AND I THINK THAT'S GREAT. AND WE'RE AND PEOPLE ARE GETTING BEHIND THAT.

BUT THEN THE LAST PART THAT I HAVE HERE IS, HOWEVER, WE DO NEED TO UTILIZE SOME SPECIALIZED SKILLS OF OUR RESIDENTS TO SOLIDIFY THESE PROPOSALS.

WE NEED THE NEEDS ASSESSMENTS.

WHAT I TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, THE NEEDS DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN DRAFTED.

I KNOW THERE'S A NUMBER OF NEEDS DOCUMENTS OUT THERE THAT HAVE BEEN GONE THROUGH, BUT I THINK THAT WE'RE NOW 2021 SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE UNDERSTAND ALL OF THAT AS IT IS NOW BASED ON WHAT WE NEED NOW.

SO THAT'S ONE PART.

OK, WELL, I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED BY THAT, BECAUSE OUR LAST NEEDS ASSESSMENT WAS DONE IN 2021. IT WAS DONE IN FEBRUARY.

WELL, I AM JUST GOING OFF OF THE WORKSHOPS THAT WE'VE HAD WHERE THERE'S BEEN A NUMBER OF DISCUSSIONS ABOUT WHAT SIZE THE ROOMS NEED TO BE, WHAT THE ROOMS NEED TO BE, HOW THEY NEED TO BE PUT TOGETHER, ALL THOSE SORT OF THINGS.

I JUST THINK THAT WHAT WHEN I SEE A NEEDS ASSESSMENT, YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU REALLY NEED VERSUS WHAT IS A WANT AND ALL THOSE SORT OF THINGS.

BUT BUT THIS IS MINUTIA.

I'M JUST TRYING TO SHOW THAT THERE ARE SOME THERE ARE SOME DISCUSSIONS THAT ARE GOING ON AND WHAT IS NEEDED, WHAT'S NOT NEEDED.

AND IN FACT, THE LAST WORKSHOP THAT WE HAD, I THINK I HEARD SEVERAL OF OUR RESIDENTS ARE SAYING, LIKE, LOOK, I GIVE UP ON THE NEEDS.

IT IS WHAT IT IS. AND THEY MAY NOT HAVE BEEN TOTALLY ON BOARD WITH IT, BUT THEY WANT TO GO FORWARD. OK, SO JUST FOR THE SAKE OF ARGUMENT, I PUT THAT IN THERE.

AGAIN. I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND.

AND I'M ON THE NEEDS IN PARTICULAR, WHICH WE'RE ALL THREE OF THEM WERE DONE BY PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE WHO ALLEGEDLY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

[01:15:03]

I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT MEANT ANOTHER NEEDS EVALUATION [INAUDIBLE].

I MEAN, IT COULD BE MODIFYING THE EXISTING ONE THAT'S THERE.

TERRY, IF YOU WANT TO JUMP IN, YOU CAN.

THE OTHER THING I THINK IS THAT MAKING SURE THAT THE COMMUNITY IS EMBRACING THE WHOLE NEEDS STATEMENT AND IT'S NOT KIND OF IN A IN A IN A MAYBE CENTRALIZED AREA WHERE EVERYBODY DIDN'T HAVE AT TIMES THAT MAYBE VET THAT.

BUT GO AHEAD, TERRY YOU PROBABLY HAVE MORE FOR.

AND AND YEAH, I'D SUGGEST LET'S FINISH GOING THROUGH THIS AND THEN PERHAPS WE CAN TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE SPECIFICS BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN GETTING INTO SOME OF THE, YOU KNOW, THE IDEAS OF WHAT'S STILL MISSING.

AND A LOT OF THOSE WERE IDENTIFIED LAST WEEK.

BUT IT'S IT'S THAT.

YEAH, THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT, I THINK THE BEST WORD IS EMBRACED.

IT'S NOT BEEN EMBRACED BY THE.

YEAH. BY THE RESIDENTS AS TO WHAT'S NEEDED.

AND AND I DON'T THINK THE COUNCIL HAS.

HAS SAID, YES, WE AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S ALL IN HERE, SO.

I DISAGREE WITH THAT TO SOME EXTENT, BUT GO AHEAD.

OK, SO SO THROUGH THAT, THERE ARE OTHER ASPECTS OF THIS, WHETHER IT BE ARCHITECTURAL INPUT THAT MAY HAVE CHANGED WITH THE, YOU KNOW, THE STRUCTURES THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW AND THE NEW IDEAS AND EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON, THE ENGINEERING EVALUATIONS, CONFIRMATION CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE TO, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY COUNCILMAN SLAUGHTER HAS A LOT OF EXPERIENCE IN THAT REGARD SINCE THAT'S PART OF HIS BUSINESS.

BUT THERE'S OTHERS THAT ARE INVOLVED AS WELL, THE MUNICIPAL ORDINANCES AND COMPLIANCES, I KNOW WE'VE GONE THROUGH IN THE SEVERAL WORKSHOPS AND REVIEWS THAT WE'VE HAD.

THERE'S THERE'S BEEN SOME QUESTIONS OF WHAT IS NEEDED, WHAT'S NOT NEEDED AND ALL THOSE SORT OF THINGS. SO AND THERE'S MANY MORE THESE ARE JUST SOME EXAMPLES OF SOME OF THE THINGS ARE THERE. SO SO WITH THAT, ONCE LUKE GETS BACK, THEN WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

SO. SO WE DO REALIZE THAT, YOU KNOW, THE YEAH, THIS IS THE LAST SLIDE NOW THAT HE'S GOING THROUGH ALL THAT, BUT ANYWAY, WE REALIZE THAT DOING THE SAME THING WILL NOT RESULT IN A DIFFERENT OUTCOME.

SO THE BOTTOM LINE OF THIS IS THAT THE PROJECT NEEDS MORE CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT THROUGH A COMMITTEE THAT INVOLVES THEM TO MAKE THIS PROJECT A SUCCESS.

AND THAT'S THE PROPOSAL THAT I'M GIVING HERE, IS THAT I THINK THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT CAN BE DONE IN THE COMMITTEE FORUM THAT WE THAT WE'VE ALREADY STARTED, WHICH IS AN OPEN FORUM. BUT THERE IS A LOT OF DETAILS BEHIND WHAT WE'RE DOING.

THAT'S MORE OF A STRATEGIC REVIEW OF THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE WITH ANOTHER FORUM.

AND SO THAT'S MY PROPOSAL HERE.

SO THIS IS OPEN FOR DISCUSSION.

NOW, IF YOU WANT TO GO INTO A LOT OF THE DETAILS THAT I'M SURE THERE WILL BE QUESTIONS.

CAN I JUST MAKE ONE COMMENT HERE? DIANA WENT OFF THE CALL AT 8:15.

I JUST WANT TO GET THAT ON THE RECORD.

OK. SORRY.

SORRY. NO, I HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS.

I FRANKLY WAS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED LAST WEEK WHEN WE DIDN'T HAVE A BIG TURNOUT ON CITIZENS BEHALF, ON THE CITIZENS PART.

PROBABLY SOME VIEWED IT ONLINE AND I DIDN'T LOOK AT THE NUMBERS OR ANYTHING, BUT I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR, BECAUSE IF WE CAN'T OF THE CITIZENS CAN'T GET TOGETHER IN A ROOM AND WE DON'T WANT TO EXCLUDE ANYBODY, WHAT MORE WHAT MORE ARE YOU ASKING FOR? CAN I RESPOND TO THAT? I WHAT I BELIEVE IS MISSING IS, YEAH, HAVING A MEETING, AN OPEN MEETING IS IS GREAT AND IDEAS CAN FLOW.

HOWEVER, THE RESEARCH THAT IS NEEDED ISN'T.

YEAH. THAT'S NOT A PLACE WHERE THE RESEARCH CAN BE DONE, WHERE TALKING ABOUT SO AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, LET'S USE THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT AS AS OUR EXAMPLE, YEAH, SOME OF THE POINTS THAT WERE MADE OF WHAT'S MISSING ON THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT.

AND I'LL USE ELVIS'S COMMENT.

YEAH, WE KNOW WHAT WE HAVE NOW.

AND WE NOW WE WILL PROVIDE THEM WHAT IS IN THE PROPOSAL.

YOU KNOW, WHAT WAS THE NOW IT IT WAS IT IS BASED UPON THE BOND THAT WAS.

YEAH. THAT WAS DEFEATED.

SO WHAT'S WHAT'S IN THAT DOCUMENT? IN THE JANUARY DOCUMENT, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A 2021 REPORT, IT IS BASED UPON WHAT WAS IN

[01:20:07]

THE SQUARE FOOTAGE IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS WHAT WAS IN THE BOND.

THAT IS CORRECT. SO SO THAT IS AND IT DOES IDENTIFY WHAT IS BEING REQUESTED IN THIS NEW FACILITY.

HOWEVER, THERE'S NOT BEEN A GAP ANALYSIS OF DO WE YOU KNOW, DO WE REALLY NEED THIS OR DON'T WE. YEAH. IS THIS A NEED OR IS THIS A WANT? AND TO SIT IN A ROUNDTABLE TYPE OF DISCUSSION IS IS NOT, IN MY OPINION, THE BEST APPROACH, BECAUSE YOU NEED PEOPLE THAT GO BACK AND SAY, WELL, WHAT ARE OTHER CITIES OUR SIZE DOING? YOU KNOW, LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT.

LET'S GO RESEARCH SOME OF THIS INFORMATION.

ARE THERE OTHER OPTIONS? ARE THERE WAYS THAT WE CAN UTILIZE SOME OF THIS SPACE, MULTIPURPOSE.

HAVE MULTIPURPOSE SPACES? AND YET, AS CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, I THINK EVERY ONE OF US REALLY CARES.

ONE, WE CARE TO GET THIS DONE.

WE REALLY DO. WE WANT THIS TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

IN MY LIFETIME.

WELL, AND WE WANT THIS TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND WE WANT IT TO BE IN AND A AS REASONABLY QUICK AS POSSIBLE. BUT WE CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT TRULY ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS THAT THE CITIZENS ARE ASKING AND GETTING GETTING COLLABORATION WITH PEOPLE.

AND I KNOW, CINDY, YOU FEEL THAT I KNOW YOU WERE DISAPPOINTED THAT PEOPLE WEREN'T COMING TO THE MEETING, BUT I DON'T COME TO MEETINGS IF THERE'S NOT A DEFINED PURPOSE, YOU KNOW, AND IF IF I DON'T IF I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS TOPIC TODAY, I'M COMING.

BUT TO TELL ME WE'RE GOING TO JUST TALK ABOUT THE FACILITY IS A VERY WIDE OPEN THING.

AND SO YOU'RE NOT REALLY YOU'RE NOT LOOKING TO ANSWER ANY PROBLEMS OR ANY SPECIFIC ISSUES, YOU JUST WANT TO GET IDEAS OUT THERE.

THAT'S JUST THAT'S THE WAY I LOOK AT THINGS AND I THINK WITH A LOT OF THE PROFESSIONALS THAT ARE OUT THERE. YEAH, WE GO TO MEETINGS FOR A PURPOSE AND, YOU KNOW, TO GET SOME, YOU KNOW, TO IDENTIFY SOLVE A PROBLEM.

SO MY THOUGHTS.

I WOULD HAVE I WOULD WOULD HAVE HOPED AND AND AND I THINK AMANDA DID A GREAT JOB AT THE LAST MEETING. BUT I WOULD HOPE THAT PEOPLE THAT DO HAVE EXPERTISE IN THE COMMUNITY WOULD EITHER BY ZOOM OR ARE I MEAN BY VIDEO OR IN PERSON SHARE THEIR IDEAS WITH EVERYBODY.

YOU KNOW, AND I HOPE MAYBE IN THE NEXT MEETING THAT THAT HAPPENS, THAT PEOPLE ARE FREE OR FEEL FREE TO COME UP WITH ALTERNATIVE IDEAS OR ASK QUESTIONS, I MEAN, OF OF THE OTHER RESIDENTS. BUT AS A AS A COMMUNITY, WE HAVE A LOT OF RESOURCES HERE.

WE JUST NEED PARTICIPATION.

AND AND THAT MIGHT BE PART OF THE SITUATION, TOO, IS I THINK, EMBRACING THAT KIND OF YOU KNOW, THE WAY WE DID THE MEETINGS, IT WAS A LITTLE DIFFICULT.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE TWO WAY COMMUNICATION IF YOU DID WANT TO GET ONLINE, THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF PROBLEM. IT HAD TO DO WITH THE SET UP AND ALL THAT KIND OF THING.

BUT THERE'S SOME OTHER MAYBE REASONS FOR THAT.

PEOPLE DIDN'T EMBRACE THAT.

ANOTHER THING JUST TO NOTE IS THAT, YOU KNOW, AMANDA DID A GREAT JOB AND ALL THE THINGS THAT SHE DID WERE GREAT. BUT I MEAN, SHE TALKED TO A LOT OF US AND SHE TALKED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE INDIVIDUALLY. AND SHE WENT AROUND.

I MEAN, SHE MADE A LOT OF EFFORT TO HAVE A LOT OF ONE ON ONE MEETINGS.

SHE COULD HAVE HAD ONE MEETING WITH EVERYBODY THERE AND GOT A LOT OF THAT STUFF DONE.

AND THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

I DON'T I DON'T CARE THE FORMAT OF HOW IT IS OR I DON'T CARE.

I JUST WANT EVERYBODY TO BE INVOLVED AND I WANT PEOPLE TO NOT HAVE TO GO TO SO MANY DIFFERENT MEETINGS. THERE'S TWO ASPECTS OF THIS AS A COUNCIL, WHEN I SEE MYSELF ON THE COUNCIL AND THE MAYOR, YOU'RE THE LEADER OF OF THE CITY.

AND I SEE US MORE AS THE BOARD OF OF THIS.

SO IT'S MORE OF AN EXECUTIVE REVIEW WE'RE LOOKING AT.

WE'RE LOOKING MORE STRATEGICALLY AT THESE DETAILS WHEN THEY COME THROUGH.

AND I THINK WHAT'S NEEDED AND WHAT I'M KIND OF TALKING ABOUT HERE IS A LOT OF THE DETAILS THAT NEED TO BE DISCUSSED, NEED TO BE DISCUSSED OFFLINE.

SO PERSONALLY, I MEAN, I'M HERE TO SERVE AND I'LL DO EVERYTHING THAT I WANT, BUT I DON'T WANT TO SIT FIVE HOURS IN A MEETING BECAUSE THERE'S ALL THESE SMALL LITTLE DETAILS THAT ARE NOT WORKED OUT. I WANT TO SEE THE OVERVIEW, THE EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW OF WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, AND I WANT TO BE ABLE TO MAKE A DECISION ON THAT.

[01:25:02]

GOING THROUGH THIS. I'M TELLING YOU, I'VE BEEN ON THE BOARDS OF OF COMPANIES AND I'VE MANAGED COMPANIES AS A VICE PRESIDENT.

AND I'M TELLING YOU THAT THE ONLY WAY TO GET THESE THINGS DONE IS YOU HAVE TO HAVE A STRATEGIC VISION AND THEN SOMEBODY ELSE HAS TO GO OFF AND DO SOME OF THAT TACTICAL STUFF.

SO THAT'S PART OF MY RATIONALE BEHIND THIS.

OK, I GET A LOT OF EMAILS AND PHONE CALLS AND WHATEVER FROM TWO DIFFERENT GROUPS OF PEOPLE, AS WELL AS SOME OF THEM THAT ARE SITTING RIGHT HERE.

ONE IS WE ELECTED Y'ALL TO DO IT, DO IT.

OK? AND THEY'RE VERY ANGRY.

ANOTHER GROUP SAYS WE'RE NOT COMING ANY MORE MEETINGS BECAUSE WE WERE SO RUDELY TREATED, WE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK.

WE WERE YELLED DOWN AND I'M NOT COMING BACK BECAUSE OF THAT.

THEREFORE, Y'ALL DO WHATEVER.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET THOSE PEOPLE BACK IN.

I'VE TRIED ON SOME OF THEM AND THEY'RE JUST LIKE, NO, I'M NOT PUTTING UP WITH THAT.

AND.

IT'S KIND OF UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE THIS COUNCIL OF COURSE, I'M NOT VERY LONG ON THE COUNCIL, BUT I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT CORDIAL ACTIVITY FROM ANYBODY THAT I'VE DEALT WITH.

AND I WOULD I WOULD [INAUDIBLE] THAT WE NEED TO HAVE IF THAT IS A PROBLEM, WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF AN IMAGE ISSUE WE NEED TO FIX, BECAUSE THAT IS NOT HOW I FEEL.

IT'S A IT'S A PROBLEM AND IT GOES BACK A WAYS.

I WOULD SAY THAT THIS COUNCIL IS DIFFERENT THAN PRIOR ONES.

ABSOLUTELY. I MEAN. NINETY PERCENT OF IT JUST ABOUT HAS CHANGED.

I'LL INCLUDE DIANA BECAUSE SHE'S STILL FAIRLY NEW HERSELF, EVEN THOUGH SHE'S NOT HERE ANYMORE. WHAT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IS WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE AS THE YOUR VISION? WHAT WOULD THIS COMMITTEE DO? HOW WOULD THEY FUNCTION? BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS IN THE LAST MEETING, I AGREE WITH MAYOR PRO TEM MEYER, I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE TURNOUT AT THE LAST MEETING, AND I FELT LIKE IT WAS KIND OF ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT WE GOT OFF INTO THE WEEDS OF A MINUTIA DETAIL THAT WE'RE NOT GETTING ANYWHERE AS OPPOSED TO DISCUSSING WHAT THE NEXT STEPS WOULD BE.

WE STARTED LOOKING AT THE BUILDING AND ITS FOCUS, WHICH WAS, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING FROM THE BEGINNING, NOT THE PURPOSE OF THAT MEETING.

SO WHAT ARE YOU PROPOSING FOR THIS? HOW WOULD IT BE MADE UP? SIR, CAN I INTERJECT ON THAT POINT? JUST BECAUSE SUBSTANTIVELY I'M NOT WEIGHING IN AT ALL.

BUT THE AGENDA IS SUBJECT TO DISCUSSION CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION ON THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX AND SO ON.

I JUST WANT TO CAUTION EVERYONE THAT TALKING ABOUT THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX SO IF SOMEBODY WANTED TO PUT ON A FUTURE AGENDA ITEM TO FORM A SUBCOMMITTEE DO X, Y AND Z, IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE THIS. THAT WOULD BE FINE.

IF YOU WANT TO GENERALLY TALK ABOUT THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX, THAT'S ALSO FINE.

BUT SO I JUST DON'T WANT Y'ALL TO WANDER TOO FAR FROM THAT TOPIC SET FORTH IN AGENDA.

SO AND I DIDN'T, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN THE PRESENTATION, SO WE COULD HAVE COULD HAVE PERHAPS LISTED THE AGENDA ITEM A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY.

WELL, AND OUR CHALLENGE WAS THE FACT THAT WE HAD A MEETING ON THURSDAY, WHICH WAS AFTER THE TIME WE HAD TO GET THE AGENDA ITEM TO YOU.

WE REALLY WEREN'T SURE WHERE WE WHERE WE FELT WE NEEDED TO HEAD.

AND SO WE YEAH, WE REALLY WANTED TO GIVE TIME TO WHERE THINGS WERE GOING.

SO I GUESS MY MOTION AT THIS POINT THEN IS I WOULD LIKE TO ASK FOR A FUTURE AGENDA ITEM TO CREATE A SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE FOR THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX.

YOU WOULD REQUEST A SUBCOMMITTEE FOR A FUTURE AGENDA ITEM OF THE COMMITTEE THAT IF YOU CONSIDER WHAT WE WERE DOING A COMMITTEE.

SO IT WOULD BE A SUBCOMMITTEE OF THAT IS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

SUBCOMMITTEE OF AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO THE COUNCIL.

A SEPARATE YES [INAUDIBLE].

UNDER THE UNDER THE CONTEXT OF FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS. WE'VE GOT WE'RE A LITTLE EARLY ON THAT.

BUT BUT YOU'RE ASKING THAT WE PUT IN PLACE OF THE FUTURE AGENDA ITEM, THE CREATION OF A COMMITTEE TO, TO DO WHAT? GETTING IN THE IN THE OTHER MEETING.

THAT IS THAT IS MORE STRATEGIC.

AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM, THAT THERE'S A HANDOFF THERE BETWEEN, YOU KNOW, WHAT NEEDS TO BE

[01:30:01]

AND SO THERE'S A GAP THERE.

AND IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO PUT THE BIG ROCKS IN THE IN THE IN THE GLASS, IF YOU WILL, BECAUSE A LOT OF THESE OTHER DISCUSSIONS NEED TO HAPPEN.

AND THEN WHEN WE GET IN THE MEETING, YOU'RE AT A LOSS BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO ADDRESS THAT ITEM.

AND NOW THAT ITEM GOES OFF AND THEN YOU HAVE ANOTHER MEETING, YOU KNOW, SEVERAL WEEKS LATER MAYBE. AND THEN WHEN YOU GET BACK INTO THAT GROUP, YOU MAY NOT HAVE THE SAME GROUP THAT YOU HAD FROM THE LAST TIME BECAUSE IT'S NOT REALLY A COMMITTEE PER SAY.

AND WE DON'T WANT TO. IT COULD BE ANYBODY THAT'S NOT IT'S NOT THE CASE.

BUT YOU NEED TO HAVE SOME CORE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BE ON THERE TO CONTINUE TO HIT SOME OF THOSE MORE TACTILE ISSUES.

AND I JUST SEE IT AS A GAP RIGHT NOW.

WOULDN'T THE CORE BE COUNCIL? [INAUDIBLE] OK, I THINK I THINK WHAT I'VE HEARD IS THAT THERE'S A REQUEST THAT BE PLACED ON A FUTURE AGENDA AND TO CREATE A COMMITTEE, WHICH I SUPPOSE CAN BE MORE FULLY FLESHED OUT IN PREPARATION FOR THAT MEETING.

PROBABLY THE BEST WAY TO DEAL WITH, GIVEN THE AGENDA ITEM.

[INAUDIBLE] THAT IS A REQUEST OR A MOTION, BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOU SAID MOTION.

THINK COUNCIL MEMBER LYNCH WAS ASKED ABOUT THE FUTURE AGENDA ITEM.

PARDON? SHE'S ASKED THAT IN THE FUTURE AGENDA ITEM.

OK, I THINK COUNCIL MEMBER REED WOULD AGREE WITH THAT.

YES, I WOULD. OK, SO YOU'VE GOT TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT WERE ASKED.

YEAH. SCOTT, WOULD WE NEED TO TABLE THIS ITEM OR DO WE JUST TAKE NO ACTION? I THINK I DON'T THINK YOU TABLE THIS ITEM.

I THINK YOU JUST TAKE NO ACTION ON IT.

AND THEN AND THEN PERHAPS BEFORE THE NEXT MEETING FOR THE TIME DEADLINE FOR THE AGENDA FOR THE NEXT MEETING, WE CAN PUT TOGETHER A PACKET FOR THAT ITEM IT'LL FLUSH OUT THAT ITEM. LET'S DO A LITTLE BIT SEPARATELY ON THE AGENDA.

YEAH.

BUT I GUESS WHILE WE'RE HERE, IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE WE SHOULD DISCUSS ABOUT THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX, WE MIGHT AS WELL MAKE THE TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY.

AS TO KIND OF TO NOT REITERATE, BUT TO TO FOLLOW ON WITH SOMETHING THAT JIM SAID, I DO THINK WE'RE MAKING SOME HEADWAY AS WE ARE GETTING SOME SOME CLARIFICATIONS IN OUR MINDS AND IN THE PEOPLE THAT ARE THAT ARE IN THE MEETINGS OF THE SITUATION OF, YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE WE BUILDING FOR, YOU KNOW, BUILD OUT APPROXIMATELY EIGHT TO NINE THOUSAND PEOPLE.

THE SITUATION OF THIS BUILDING FOR PURPOSES OF OF CITY STAFF AND POLICE DEPARTMENT STAFF HAS SOME SERIOUS CONCERNS.

THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT, AND I THINK THERE WERE SOME YOU KNOW, WE ARE WORKING TOWARD GIVING PEOPLE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THAT, WHICH IS I THINK WILL BE HELPFUL WHETHER WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE, YOU KNOW, AS WE ARE RIGHT NOW, AT LEAST AGAIN, IT'S MORE INFORMATION, SOMETHING WE HAD SAID WE WERE GOING TO BE PROVIDING TO THEM.

ONE THING I AND I, I WANT I WOULD LIKE TO ASK I AM GETTING COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE THAT THEY'RE STILL NOT ABLE TO FIND INFORMATION ON THE WEBSITE.

SO I'D LIKE TO EXPLORE SOME OTHER OPTIONS WITH Y'ALL ON HOW WE CAN MAYBE PUT SOME INFORMATION IN THE WEBSITE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY SO THEY CAN KNOW WHAT EXACTLY THEY'RE FINDING. YOU KNOW.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO ASK.

CAN YOU TELL US WHAT THERE'S WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WHERE THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO FIND IT SINCE IT'S ALL RIGHT THERE ON THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX.

WELL, I THINK WHAT PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR IS WHAT WE'RE DOING IN THE FUTURE, WHEREAS MOST OF THE STUFF THAT'S IN THE WEBSITE IS WHAT'S BEEN DONE IN THE PAST.

AND, YOU KNOW, THE PAST.

[INAUDIBLE] AMANDA'S PRESENTATIONS ARE ON THERE.

WELL, AND THAT'S TRUE.

BUT AS WAS POINTED OUT IN THE MEETING, THAT PRESENTATION IS BASED UPON.

AMANDA.

BUT IT'S BASED UPON SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT WAS DEFEATED, YOU KNOW.

YEAH, WELL, THAT THE BOND THAT THE UNDERLYING BOND THAT WAS PRESENTED FOR THAT WAS NOT APPROVED. I, I DON'T THINK AMANDA WENT BY THAT SQUARE FOOTAGE.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE CAME UP.

NO, SHE DID. SHE DID.

[01:35:02]

YEAH. WE TOOK THAT AS YEAH.

WE TOOK THAT SQUARE FOOTAGE AS A BASELINE BECAUSE THE IDEA WAS THAT WITH SOME OF THE NOVEL IDEAS THAT WE'VE COME THROUGH WITH, THE COST IS A LOT LESS WITH THE METAL BUILDING AND DIFFERENT STRUCTURES. AND IT WAS A WAY TO SPAWN A LOT OF CONVERSATION WITHOUT BEING TOO, TOO CONTROVERSIAL ON CHANGING THE SQUARE FOOTAGE TOO MUCH BASED ON WHAT THE QUOTE UNQUOTE NEEDS ASSESSMENT WAS INITIALLY.

SO THOSE ARE THE KIND OF THINGS THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, IS THAT THERE'S A THERE'S A NEED FOR A LOT OF CLARIFICATION ON UNDERSTANDING WHERE WE'VE BEEN AND NOW WHERE WE WANT TO GO.

AND I THINK WITH A MUNICIPAL COMPLEX IN GENERAL, I THINK THAT WE NEED TO GET, QUOTE UNQUOTE, BUY IN FROM PEOPLE AND THE FACT THAT I'M LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, I WAS DISAPPOINTED WITH THE ATTENDANCE. SO WHEN THEY HAVE SUCH A SMALL ATTENDANCE.

THE OVERALL PERCEPTION FROM OUR CITY IS WE NEED TO DO A GOOD JOB AT MAKING SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE PULLED IN AS WELL AS THEY CAN AND PROMOTING IT SO THAT THEY EMBRACE IT.

AND I USE THAT TERM EMBRACE BEFORE.

AND I THINK THAT'S THAT'S REALLY CRITICAL.

AND IF WE DON'T DO THAT, WHETHER WE'RE DOING A GREAT JOB OR WHETHER WE'RE NOT DOING A GREAT JOB, IF THE OVERALL PERCEPTION IS NOT GREAT, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE 6000 PEOPLE THAT GO OUT AND VOTE AND IT'S GOING TO BE A DIFFICULT ROAD TO HOE AGAIN.

AND THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING. I'M NOT TRYING TO BE CONTROVERSIAL.

I AM NOT TRYING. I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF FANTASTIC WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE.

AND I THINK WE JUST NEED TO KIND OF GRAB THE BULL BY THE HORNS AND TAKE THIS INPUT FROM FROM VARIOUS SOURCES.

SO.

I MEAN, I AGREE WITH A LOT OF WHAT YOU SAID, BUT I MEAN, RIGHT NOW, WHAT AMANDA, I WOULDN'T TAKE IT AS AS GOSPEL THAT THAT THAT IS YOU KNOW, THIS IS JUST CONCEPTS.

SO IF WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT HIGH LEVEL CONCEPTS, THE FACT IS WHEN WE COME UP WITH SOMETHING OR VARIOUS OPTIONS, ONCE IT GETS TO THE ARCHITECT, THINGS ARE GOING TO CHANGE.

SO, I MEAN, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO NAIL REALLY NAIL DOWN.

I MEAN, YOU JUST STILL GOING TO BE IN THE CONCEPTUAL MODE.

I AGREE. AND THAT'S MORE REASON WHY YOU NEED SOME OTHER BACKGROUND INFORMATION BE FEEDING INTO THAT, BECAUSE THAT'S WHY I'M SAYING THERE'S A THERE'S A CONCEPTUAL SIDE OF THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX AND HOW WE MOVE FORWARD.

AND THEN THERE'S HOW THAT REALIZES ITSELF OUT.

AND I THINK A LOT OF THOSE I MEAN, AGAIN, THIS IS JUST MY PERCEPTION.

MAYBE I'M THE ONLY ONE UP HERE THAT FEELS THIS WAY.

BUT TO ME, IT SEEMS THAT WE'LL BE HAVING THOSE DISCUSSIONS FROM NOW UNTIL THE TIME I'M VOTED OFF COUNCIL, YOU KNOW, WHENEVER THAT HAPPENS, BECAUSE IT'S IT GOES VERY SLOW BECAUSE THERE'S TOO MUCH INFORMATION TO MAKE STRATEGIC DECISIONS.

IN OTHER WORDS, FOR ME, I'M IN THE SEMICONDUCTOR BUSINESS.

SO IF I WAS GOING TO PUT A FAB TOGETHER AND SOMEBODY CAME TO ME AND THEY SAID THAT THE CUSTOMER NEEDS THIS MANY CHIPS, AND I SAY, OK, GREAT, WHERE ARE WE NOW? WHERE DO WE HAVE TO GET? HOW MUCH MONEY DO WE HAVE? HOW DO WE BUILD A FACILITY? WITH ALL THOSE QUESTIONS COME TO MY MIND.

BUT AS A BOARD MEMBER OR AS A AS A SENIOR EXECUTIVE, I HAVE TO GET AN OVERVIEW OF ALL THAT STUFF AND I NEED TO GET THAT INFORMATION SO I CAN MAKE THE DECISION.

AND THAT'S WHERE I THINK WE'RE LACKING RIGHT NOW.

MAYBE IT'S JUST ME THAT I HEAR YOU TALKING OUT OF BOTH SIDES OF YOUR MOUTH IN TERMS OF I NEED MORE INFORMATION, BUT BUT THERE'S TOO MUCH INFORMATION.

WE'RE IN THE MINUTIA, BUT WE NEED MORE INFO YOU KNOW.

LET ME CLARIFY A LITTLE MORE.

WHAT WHAT I MEAN IS THAT THAT AN EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW IS, IS WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT SOMETHING AT A HIGH LEVEL AND YOU MAKE A DECISION BASED ON THAT.

AND THAT'S WHAT I THINK COUNCIL IS HERE TO DO, IS TO MAKE AT AN EXECUTIVE LEVEL OVERVIEW, WE WE ARE LEADERS OF THE CITY AND WE WANT TO MAKE THE CORRECT DECISION TO PUSH THIS FORWARD. BUT IN THE SAME TONE, I THINK THAT A COUNCIL MEMBER OR MULTIPLE COUNCIL MEMBERS COULD BE INVOLVED IN A COMMITTEE WHERE THEY GET INTO ALL THOSE DETAILS AND BRING THAT BACK OR MAY END UP BEING THE LEADER IF SHE DECIDES TO WANT TO DO THAT AND BRING ALL THOSE DETAILS FORWARD.

BUT MY POINT BEING IS THAT NOT EVERYONE ON THE COUNCIL, INCLUDING YOURSELF, SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN ALL THOSE DETAILS.

WE'RE HERE TO KIND OF GIVE THE OVERVIEW BECAUSE THERE'S LOTS OF OTHER ISSUES WE'VE GOT TO DEAL WITH AS WELL. SO THAT'S WHAT I MEAN.

YES, WE NEED TO HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION PUT TOGETHER AND PULLED INTO SOMETHING THAT IS A STRATEGIC OVERVIEW WHERE WE CAN MAKE A BETTER DECISION.

OK, THANK YOU FOR THAT, BECAUSE WHAT I WAS HEARING WAS, OK, LET'S GET THE SAME INFORMATION OVER AND OVER, YOU KNOW, AND WE'VE BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, LET'S MOVE FORWARD.

OK, I'M EXCITED TO HEAR THE PROPOSAL ON THE FUTURE AGENDA ITEM.

I SEE WHERE I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR POSITION IS.

I DON'T LOOK AT MYSELF AS A LEADER ON COUNCIL.

I HATE THAT TERM FOR ANY ELECTED OFFICIAL, THE REPRESENTATIVES, NOT LEADERS.

BUT I KNOW IT'S A TERMINOLOGY THING, AND I DON'T MEAN ANY DISRESPECT WITH THAT.

I, I UNDERSTAND THAT IDEA BECAUSE I AGREE WE CAN GET LOST IN THE WEEDS ON A LOT OF

[01:40:02]

AND I FEEL LIKE THAT THIS PROCESS HAS A LOT OF DISTRUST.

AND AS COUNCIL, I FEEL LIKE IT IS OUR JOB TO CORRECT THAT ISSUE.

SO I LOOK FORWARD TO THE DISCUSSION IN THE FUTURE SO THAT WE CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND THAT.

BUT AS FAR AS ANYTHING ELSE ON THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO DISCUSS ON THE COMPLEX ITSELF FOR FOR THE FUTURE.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO UNDERSTAND FROM YOU, MR. LEVINE, WHAT ACTION A COUNCIL HAS TO TAKE ON A COMMITTEE, BECAUSE WE'VE DISCUSSED THAT IN THE PAST, WHICH I KNOW WE'LL DISCUSS THAT AT THE NEXT ONE.

THAT'LL BE ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I'LL HAVE FOR YOU AGAIN, BECAUSE OUR PRIOR COUNCIL STATED ONE THING. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE ON THE SAME PAGE WITH THEM AS FAR AS COUNCIL ACTUALLY NEEDING TO TAKE ACTION ON A COMMITTEE.

AND SPECIFICALLY, YOU'RE ASKING? WHETHER COUNCIL ACTUALLY HAS TO TAKE ACTION TO FORM A COMMITTEE AS A COUNCIL BECAUSE HE HAD A PRIVATE THE PREVIOUS COUNCIL.

AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, MADAM MAYOR, OR COUNCIL MEMBER LYNCH OR MAYOR PRO TEM MEYER, BECAUSE Y'ALL WERE HERE. OUR PRIOR COUNCIL SAID WE DON'T HAVE TO TAKE ACTION TO CREATE A COMMITTEE. A COUNCIL MEMBER JUST DOES THAT IF THEY SO SEE FIT THAT THERE IS NO ORDINANCE FOR A COMMITTEE. SO I'D LIKE SOME CLARIFICATION ON THAT, WHETHER COUNCIL DOES THAT.

IS, IS THAT WHERE WE'RE AT AND MOVE ALONG.

OK, OK, NOW WE ARE TO FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS

[ROUTINE ITEMS]

ON THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX.

GOT IT, I BELIEVE WE HAVE ONE FROM YOU MR. SLAUGHTER. YES, I'D LIKE A FUTURE AGENDA ITEM FOR HIRING A CONSULTANT FOR A WATER STUDY.

I'D ALSO RECOMMEND WE GET MR. BIRKHOFF'S RECOMMENDATIONS ON THAT.

WHO HE WOULD RECOMMEND THAT SOMEBODY TO DO THAT.

YOU GOT IT.

OK. I'D ALSO LIKE TO ADD ONE IN THE FUTURE FOR REVIEWING THE CONTRACTS THAT WE HAVE WITH OUTSIDE SERVICES SUCH AS MR. BIRKHOFF, BECAUSE I KNOW WE'RE GETTING KIND OF A DATE LINE ON A LOT OF THEM.

AND I'D LIKE SOME PREEMPTIVE INFORMATION TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THOSE BEFORE WE HIT THOSE TIMELINES. ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY, THEN, AND AS YOU KNOW, ANYBODY CAN SEND ME AN EMAIL AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO ADD OR SOMETIMES I MAY HAVE TO COME BACK TO YOU AND ASK YOU FOR QUESTIONS IF I'M NOT CLEAR ON WHAT YOU'RE ASKING.

SO BEAR WITH ME IF I DO THAT OR IF I HAVE A LEGAL QUESTION, I MAY ASK MR. LEVINE TO TO CLARIFY FOR ME.

OK, NOW WE HAVE SOME UPDATES.

MS. LYNCH, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU OR MR. REED ARE GONNA.

I'LL TAKE THIS. YES.

ON THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN.

THE FIRST THING I WANT TO POINT OUT IS WE DID RECEIVE A STUDY FROM GARY, HIS TEAM AND JOHN BIRKHOFF THAT RELATED TO ALL OF THE STREETS IN THE CITY OF PARKER A VERY WELL DONE, VERY WELL DONE JOB.

I THINK IT WILL COME IN TREMENDOUSLY HANDY AND WILL BE SOME TOOL TO BE USED IN THE FUTURE. GARY MAY WISH WE DIDN'T HAVE IT, [LAUGHTER] BUT BUT I APPRECIATE THAT WE WE FINALLY GOT THAT. AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE A MEETING SCHEDULED FOR THIS THURSDAY AT 3:30.

IT'S 3:30 TO 5 TRYING TO TO GET THINGS IN.

I KNOW THERE'S SOME OTHER MEETINGS LATER IN THE EVENING WITH THE WITH THE, THE TEAM.

ANYBODY THAT'S INTERESTED IN BEING ON THE TEAM IS IS WELCOME TO JOIN US.

IT'S AN OPEN MEETING AS WELL.

SO WE'LL BE RIGHT IN HERE.

IT IS POSTED.

AND IT IS POSTED.

AND SO AT 3:30 THIS THURSDAY, WE WILL REVIEW THAT AND WE'VE GOT OUR AGENDA SET.

IT'S GOING TO BE FAST AND FURIOUS TO SO THAT WE CAN AGAIN GET THINGS.

YEAH. IDENTIFY KIND OF WHERE WE ARE.

AND I'M SURE WE'LL HAVE SOME SOME LITTLE THINGS THAT A SMALLER TEAM MAY GO OUT AND HAVE TO DO AND COME BACK TO THE BIGGER TEAM.

THANK YOU. OH, MR. SLAUGHTER ANYTHING FROM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COMMITTEE? NO, NO.

MADAM MAYOR, LIKE I SAID, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE WE'VE TAKEN A HIATUS.

WE'RE GOING TO START BACK UP IN AUGUST JUST BECAUSE OF THE SUMMER AND ALL THE OTHER MEETINGS THAT WE HAD GOING ON WITH THE CITY.

PEOPLE WERE A LITTLE MEETING OUT, SO I AGREED TO PUSH IT UNTIL AUGUST.

OK, SINCE DIANA IS NOT HERE, I'M ASSUMING EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION COMMITTEE HAS NO

[01:45:04]

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ON THE LEGISLATURE? [INAUDIBLE] I'M SORRY.

THEY'RE IN SESSION SPECIAL SESSION, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF ANYTHING'S GOING TO BE DONE THIS SESSION. SO I DO KNOW THERE WERE SOME I THINK THE SENATE PASSED SOME BILLS WITH SOME PROPERTY TAX REFORM FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, BUT NOTHING CONSIDERING US.

I'M STILL WORKING ON TRYING TO GET A LIST OF EVERYTHING THAT WAS DONE THIS PAST SESSION PUT TOGETHER SO WE CAN GET THAT OUT TO YOU ALL.

OK. ANYTHING ON THE NOISE COMMITTEE? WE HAVEN'T HAD MANY NOISE COMPLAINTS, SO I THINK EVERYTHING'S.

WELL GOOD.

PRETTY GOOD SO FAR.

OK. NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT.

ARE YOU GOING TO DO THAT OR IS MR. MACHADO? I CAN DO THAT ONE. NO.

DAVID BRONOWSKI WITH [INAUDIBLE] IS GOING TO BE WORKING WITH US ON GETTING [INAUDIBLE].

SORRY, WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON GETTING THIS CUSTOMER CONTRACT SQUARED AWAY HERE.

THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON WAY TOO LONG WITH NORTH TEXAS, AND I THINK THEY'VE GOT THE NEW LEADERSHIP IN PLACE. THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO SIT DOWN WITH US AT THIS TIME AND ACTUALLY HAVE AN HONEST CONVERSATION OF WHAT'S GOING ON AND MOVING THIS FORWARD.

SO WE'LL BE DOING HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET THAT SCHEDULED HERE.

I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THAT BECAUSE WITH ALL THE WET SUMMER THAT WE'VE HAD, I GUARANTEE YOU THAT OUR TAKE OR PAY THING IS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE THIS YEAR.

WELL, WE'VE BEEN HITTING ABOUT 90 PERCENT, JUST A LITTLE OVER 90 PERCENT OF OUR TAKE OR PAY ON THE LAST NUMBERS I HAD.

THAT WAS LAST YEAR, YOU KNOW, BUT AGAIN, WE HAD A LOT TO MAKE UP LAST YEAR BECAUSE IT WAS A WET YEAR AND WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT THOSE LAST, WHAT, GRANT TWO TWO MONTHS AND IT FINALLY WARMED UP. SO WE WERE HAPPY THAT WATERING HAPPENED BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE HAD SOME ISSUES. SO WE DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ANY ISSUES THIS YEAR, HOPEFULLY.

I KNOW I DON'T KNOW IF THE REED HOUSEHOLD HAS ANY REPRESENTATION OF THE REST OF PARKER, BUT I DON'T THINK I'VE HAD MY WATER ON BUT MAYBE THREE TIMES THIS YEAR.

SO IT COULD BE A LOT LESS THAN WHAT YOU THINK UNLESS.

PEOPLE ARE JUST LEAVING THEIR WATER ON JUST TO LEAVE IT ON.

AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE CONTRACT, IT'S GOING TO BE MIMIC, IT'S GOING TO BE VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT THE MEMBER CITIES GOT.

SO. THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW.

YEAH, THAT'S GOOD.

OK. PUMP STATION MR. MACHADO. JOHN TALKED BRIEFLY ABOUT THE PUMP STATION.

IT'S COMING ALONG NICELY THAT THING'S SCHEDULED TO BE COMPLETED NOW WITH SOME EXTENSIONS OF TIME IN LATE OCTOBER EARLY NOVEMBER.

ANYTHING ON THAT ROOF? THAT'S NOT THE THAT'S NOT THE PRIORITY.

THAT'S ANOTHER LAYER OF [INAUDIBLE] . OK, RISK AND RESILIENCE ANALYSIS AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN . RESILIENCE ANALYSIS HAS BEEN COMPLETED.

OK, WE'RE WORKING ON THAT EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN.

OK, THE NEXT ONE IS DUE IN DECEMBER.

IS THAT? I BELIEVE IT IS. EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN.

YEAH, OK. OK.

ANY UPDATE ON SALES TAX? NO, I GUESS WE'RE JUST GOING TO [INAUDIBLE] ANOTHER AGENDA OR JUST [INAUDIBLE].

OK, KEEP ME AT ADVISED.

MR. MACHADO, YOU HAVE SOME UPDATES ON SOME SUBDIVISIONS.

SUBDIVISIONS, KINGS CROSS [INAUDIBLE] STILL IN PROGRESS.

THE ROAD IS SCHEDULED, THEY'RE SCHEDULED TO COME BACK TO RESUME CONSTRUCTION ON LOIS LANE TOMORROW. THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE BACK AT THE CLEAN UP WHAT'S THERE.

AND THEN THURSDAY, THEY'RE GOING TO START LAYING [INAUDIBLE] DOWN SOMETIME THURSDAY AND FRIDAY THEY'LL PAVE IT. SO THEY'RE SCHEDULED TO BE COMPLETED BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON [INAUDIBLE] LATER.

WE'VE GOT APPLICATIONS IN THAT IS COMING TO P&Z FOR WHITESTONE FIVE AND SIX AND PARKER

[01:50:03]

AND WE'VE GOT A WHITESTONE PHASE FOUR THAT IS IN PRELIMINARY REVIEW RIGHT NOW . ANYTHING ELSE? OK, THOROUGHFARE AND OTHER MAPS UPDATE.

WE'RE STILL WORKING ON IT.

WORKING. DO WE HAVE ANY KIND OF TIMELINE ON THAT? BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF SLOWING US DOWN A LITTLE BIT, NOT HAVING THE UPDATED MAPS . LET ME GET IT.

YEAH. GO ON BACK TO TRY TO GET THE ORIGINAL ORDINANCES AND THEN PUT THEM ON THE MAP CORRECTLY, IS TAKING A LITTLE BIT LONGER THAN IT WAS ANTICIPATED.

SO I KNOW THAT SURPRISES YOU, MICHAEL.

OK. ANYTHING ELSE AT THIS TIME?

[EXECUTIVE SESSION START TO FINISH]

OK, WE ARE IN RECESS.

IT IS 8:13 P.M.

AT THIS TIME.

I AM RE.

[INAUDIBLE] THIS SAYS 8:13.

[INAUDIBLE]] 9:13 OK.

I CAN'T EVEN GET GOOD CLOCKS IN THIS JOINT.

AND I AM RECONVENING THE REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF THE PARKER CITY COUNCIL ON JULY 20TH, 2021 AT THIS TIME, IS THERE ANY APPROPRIATE, ANY ACTION OUT OF THE EXECUTIVE SESSION. NO MADAM MAYOR.
