Sep 16, 2024 City Council

[00:00:01]

[INAUDIBLE]. WELCOME EVERYONE OUT TO THE SACHSE CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

[A. Meeting Opening]

THE TIME IS 6:31PM.

OH MY GOSH. 6:31PM.

WE ARE CALLED TO ORDER.

NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM A2.

INVOCATION AND PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.

I'VE ASKED MISS HOWARTH TO LEAD OUR INVOCATION AND MISS BUHLER TO LEAD OUR PLEDGES.

IF YOU'LL PLEASE RISE.

OUR KIND AND GRACIOUS HEAVENLY FATHER, WE'RE GRATEFUL THAT WE CAN BE GATHERED HERE TOGETHER THIS EVENING TO ACCOMPLISH THE BUSINESS OF SACHSE AND WE ASK THY BLESSINGS UPON US THAT WE WILL MAKE WISE DECISIONS, THAT WE WILL HEAR EACH OTHER'S CONCERNS, AND TREAT ALL THOSE PRESENT WITH KINDNESS AND RESPECT.

WE ASK FOR THY BLESSINGS UPON OUR CITY STAFF AND FIRST RESPONDERS, THAT THEY'LL BE SAFE AND PROTECTED WHILE THEY DO THE GOOD OF PROTECTING THE CITY AND KEEPING IT FUNCTIONING.

WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR THIS WONDERFUL STATE THAT WE HAVE TO LIVE IN AND ASK THY BLESSINGS UPON US.

IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, AMEN.

THANK YOU. MAY BE SEATED.

I AGAIN WANT TO WELCOME EVERYONE OUT TONIGHT.

NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA IS ITEM B, RECOGNITION.

[B. Recognition]

IF I WILL HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM NORTH TEXAS JOIN ME.

THERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT.

OKAY, SO THIS IS CATHERINE AND LAST NAME WAS COPE.

OKAY. THANK YOU. SO IF YOU DON'T KNOW, WE'VE ACTUALLY PARTNERED THE CITY OF SACHSE.

ACTUALLY PARTNERED MANY YEARS WITH THE NORTH TEXAS FOOD BANK, AND IT'S A GREAT ORGANIZATION.

UNFORTUNATELY, WE DO HAVE A HUNGER PROBLEM IN NORTH TEXAS AND QUITE FRANKLY, AROUND THE COUNTRY AND SO WE WANT TO DO OUR PART TO HELP WITH THAT AND ONE OF THE FUN THINGS WE DO IS THE PEANUT BUTTER DRIVE AND SO WE ARE GOING TO KICK THAT OFF OFFICIALLY TONIGHT WITH A PROCLAMATION AND I KNOW CATHERINE WILL WANT TO SAY A FEW WORDS, I'M SURE.

BUT AGAIN, IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE NORTH TEXAS FOOD BANK, I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THEM.

THEY DO WONDERFUL JOB.

THEY PARTNER WITH FIVE LOAVES HERE IN SACHSE TO HELP WITH OUR FOOD DISTRIBUTION.

SO IT'S JUST A GREAT ORGANIZATION AND I'M PROUD THAT WE PARTNER WITH THEM.

WITH THAT, I'LL READ THE PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS HUNGER ACTION MONTH WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2008 BY FEEDING AMERICA AND WORKS TO PROMOTE WAYS FOR INDIVIDUALS, ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITIES EVERYWHERE TO GET INVOLVED AND HELP FIGHT THE HUNGER CRISIS AND WHEREAS THE NATIONWIDE CAMPAIGN STRIVES TO MOBILIZE THE PUBLIC INTO ACTION ON THE ACTING, ON THE ISSUE OF HUNGER AND HELP THE MORE THAN 12 MILLION CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES WHO ARE FOOD INSECURE.

LOCALLY, 1 IN 7 PEOPLE OR 14.2% OF DALLAS COUNTY RESIDENTS AND 1 IN 10 PEOPLE, OR 10.9% OF COLLIN COUNTY RESIDENTS STRUGGLE WITH FOOD INSECURITY AND WHEREAS, IN AN EFFORT TO RAISE AWARENESS AND CURB THIS TREND, SACHSE IS JOINING TOGETHER WITH ALL OF NORTH TEXAS TO PROMOTE AND PARTICIPATE IN THE NORTH TEXAS FOOD BANK'S ANNUAL PEANUT BUTTER DRIVE, EITHER VIRTUALLY OR IN PERSON, WITH THE GOAL OF RAISING 400,000 POUNDS OF PEANUT BUTTER.

NOW, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT AND IT IS, BUT IT'S VERY DOABLE.

I THINK WE'VE DONE THAT EVERY YEAR.

WE'VE TRIED.

WHEREAS THE RESIDENTS AND PATRONS WITHIN THE CITY OF SACHSE HAVE ALWAYS GIVEN GENEROUSLY AND WITH A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF LOVE TOWARD EFFORTS TAKING CARE OF THOSE IN NEED AND THE SACHSE CITY COUNCIL CALLS.

CALLS SACHSE INTO ACTION TO GET INVOLVED IN EVENTS LIKE THE PEANUT BUTTER DRIVE AND MORE.

NOW THEREFORE, I, JEFF BICKERSTAFF, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF SACHSE, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER AS HUNGER ACTION MONTH IN SACHSE AND ENCOURAGE ALL RESIDENTS TO JOIN THE SACHSE CITY COUNCIL AND THE NORTH TEXAS FOOD BANK TO HELP ERADICATE HUNGER IN OUR CITY, COUNTIES, STATE AND NATION.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. [INAUDIBLE].

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME TONIGHT.

IT'S AN HONOR TO REPRESENT THE FOOD BANK TO THE CITY OF SACHSE.

SO I HAVE THE HONOR OF SHARING ABOUT THE PEANUT BUTTER DRIVE.

OUR GOAL THIS YEAR IN DOLLARS IS $300,000 AND 100,000 POUNDS OF PEANUT BUTTER.

AS YOU KNOW, THE FOOD BANK, THE DOLLAR GOES REALLY FAR WITH THE FOOD BANK.

SO YOUR DOLLAR WILL PROVIDE THREE MEALS FOR PEOPLE IN NEED.

[00:05:03]

SO IF YOU GO TO OUR WEBSITE NTFB.ORG/PEANUT BUTTER DRIVE, YOU CAN EVEN SET UP YOUR OWN VIRTUAL FUNDRAISER TEAM IF YOU WANT FOR YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD OR YOUR CHURCH, YOUR BUSINESS TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO GIVE.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LISTENING AND I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU, MAYOR BICKERSTAFF AND AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO SAY WHAT A GREAT PARTNER TO NORTH TEXAS FOOD BANK MAKE IS WE'VE HAD A COUPLE DIFFERENT COUNCIL MEMBERS.

I THINK MISS HOWARTH SPECIFICALLY HAS PARTICIPATED BEFORE IN THEIR DRIVE.

AND YOU CAN GO TO YOUTUBE AND LOOK THAT UP.

STILL, I FOUND THAT BUT AGAIN, THEY'RE A GREAT PARTNER.

AND AGAIN, WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU DO TO HELP ERADICATE ERADICATE HUNTER.

WE APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH.

SO NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM TWO.

RECOGNIZE THE CITY OF SACHSE FINANCE DEPARTMENT FOR RECEIVING AN UPGRADED CREDIT RATING FROM MOODY'S AND I WAS GOING TO ASK OUR SPECIAL GUEST, MR. JASON HUGHES, TO COME DOWN AND SAY JUST A FEW WORDS ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS.

MR. HUGHES. MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

GOOD EVENING, JASON HUGHES, HILLTOP SECURITIES.

GOOD TO BE WITH YOU. SO TO THE MAYOR'S POINT, YOU DID RECEIVE AN UPGRADE FROM MOODY'S TO DOUBLE A ONE AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS YOU ARE IN THE SECOND HIGHEST RATING WITH MOODY'S, AND YOU'RE NOW ON PAR WITH MOODY'S WITH YOUR S&P RATING, WHICH IS A DOUBLE A PLUS AND THAT AA+ WAS GIVEN TO YOU LAST TIME IN 2022 AND THEN MOODY'S AGAIN IS THE DOUBLE-A ONE AND WHAT THAT SIMPLY MEANS IS AS THAT CREDIT RATING GOES HIGHER, YOUR INTEREST RATE GOES LOWER, THE COST TO YOUR CITIZENS GOES LOWER.

SO I DID DO A LITTLE RESEARCH.

I WENT BACK TO 2002 THOUSAND.

THE CITY WAS AN A1 OR BEG YOUR PARDON, AN A-MINUS CREDIT RATING WITH S&P FIVE NOTCHES DOWN FROM WHERE YOU ARE NOW, YOU WERE JUST ON THE CUSP OF THE LOWEST CREDIT RATING CATEGORY, WHICH IS TRIPLE B.

YOU'RE NOW ON THE CUSP OF THE HIGHEST CREDIT RATING CATEGORY, WHICH IS IT'S NOT LIKE GRADES IN COLLEGE.

APPARENTLY IT'S A-MINUS IS NOT A GREAT THING WITH THEM.

IN THIS CASE, IT'S NOT A BAD THING.

BUT YOU'RE IN MUCH BETTER POSITION NOW.

SO YES. SO BUT JUST LIKE TO THANK GINA AND HER STAFF, CERTAINLY DAVID, RYAN, LAUREN FOR ALL THE WORK THAT THEY PUT IN AND THE TIME THAT THEY SPENT.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE OFTEN DO IS WHENEVER WE'RE GOING AND HAVING A BOND SALE IS WE EITHER MEET WITH OR HAVE A PHONE CALL WITH THE RATING AGENCIES AND SO THEY ALWAYS DO A GREAT JOB ABOUT JUST GIVING THEM A VERY GOOD FLAVOR OF SACHSE AND WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

SO THAT CERTAINLY PLAYED INTO THAT UPGRADE AS WELL.

THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU AND I WANT TO ECHO MR. HUGHES'S COMMENTS.

THIS IS WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE IF NOT FOR THE HARD WORK OF STAFF AND QUITE FRANKLY, THE HARD WORK OF COUNCIL.

COUNCIL IS THE ONE WHO DIRECTS STAFF ON WHAT WE WANT, WHAT WE WANT TO SEE AND SO COUNCIL GETS KUDOS AS WELL, BECAUSE STAFF COULD NOT DO WHAT THEY DO WITHOUT OUR DIRECTION.

NOW, HAVING SAID THAT, WE ON COUNCIL HAVE THE EASY PART.

WE SAY GO DO IT AND THEY'RE THE ONES THAT HAVE THE HARD PART.

THEY ACTUALLY GO MAKE IT HAPPEN AND AGAIN, I WOULD SAY IN MY EXPERIENCE ALL THESE YEARS THAT IS THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT EVERY CITY CAN QUOTE UNQUOTE, BRAG ABOUT.

SO I WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SAY THANK YOU SPECIFICALLY TO MISS NASH AND MR. BALDWIN AND ALL HIS STAFF AND REALLY EVERYBODY, ALL THE STAFF, BECAUSE IT TAKES A TEAM EFFORT TO GET A RATING LIKE THIS AND BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT ALL THIS.

IS WHAT MR. HUGHES SAID.

THIS LOWERS THE COST FOR OUR RESIDENTS, AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE AND THAT'S WHAT WE STRIVE TO DO EVERY SINGLE DAY WE'RE UP HERE.

SO AGAIN, KUDOS TO STAFF.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK TO HELP MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM C, PUBLIC COMMENT.

[C. Public Comment]

THE TIME LIMIT IS THREE MINUTES PER SPEAKER.

A PUBLIC COMMENT CARD SHOULD BE PRESENTED TO THE CITY SECRETARY PRIOR TO THE MEETING.

ACCORDING TO THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT, COUNCIL IS PROHIBITED FROM DISCUSSING ANY ITEM NOT POSTED ON THE AGENDA, BUT WILL TAKE COMMENTS UNDER ADVISEMENT.

I DO HAVE ONE CARD, MISS LINDA CRANK.

OKAY. GOOD EVENING.

YES. OKAY.

LINDA CRANK, 5006 HERITAGE CIRCLE, SACHSE, TEXAS.

THANK YOU AND I JUST HAD SEVERAL COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS REGARDING THE ADDITION OF THE PUMPS AT THE CONVENIENCE STORE LOCATED AT THE CORNER OF MERRITT.

OKAY, MISS CRANK, IF I COULD STOP YOU, WE WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON THAT WHEN WE GET TO THAT ITEM.

[00:10:01]

YES. YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO SPEAK.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK DURING PUBLIC COMMENT ON AN ITEM, NOT ON THE AGENDA.

OKAY AND AGAIN, MISS CRANK WILL, WHEN WE GET TO THAT ITEM WE WILL HAVE YOU COME BACK UP THERE.

NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM D COUNCIL STAFF REPORTS AND UPDATES.

[D. Council/Staff Reports and Updates]

IS THERE A MEMBER OF COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE AUDIENCE OR COUNCIL AT THIS TIME? MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKS.

WELL, IT WOULDN'T BE THE SAME IF.

WOW. I'LL ASK YOU BACK.

WE ALWAYS INTRODUCE YOU THE RIGHT WAY.

SO WOULDN'T BE A MEETING IF I DIDN'T TALK ABOUT THE PARKS DEPARTMENT.

THE PARKS DEPARTMENT HAS HAD THE FRANKS FAMILY FAVORITE EVENT DADDY DAUGHTER DANCE.

THEY BROUGHT BACK A MOTHER SON EVENT THAT WE HAVEN'T HAD IN MANY YEARS.

BUT HOWEVER, IT WAS KIND OF A NEW EVENT.

WE CALLED IT THE MOTHER AND SON JURASSIC JOURNEY.

IT WAS OVER AT THE MICHAEL J.

FELIX COMMUNITY CENTER.

WE HAD ABOUT 160 MOMS. GOD BLESS THEM AND THEIR CHILDREN AND THEIR SONS IN ATTENDANCE LOTS OF ACTIVITIES.

THEY HAD A BOUNCE HOUSES, DINOSAUR GAMES, TOUCH TABLES, PHOTOBOOTH, A REPTILE SHOW WHICH I WAS A LITTLE SKETCHY ON, AND EVEN GOT TO MEET SOME REAL LIFE DINOSAURS, IF YOU CAN IMAGINE.

SO IF YOU DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO COME OUT, I'M SURE LANCE AND HIS FOLKS WILL TRY TO HAVE IT AGAIN NEXT YEAR.

SO HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE, MISS BUHLER, I JUST WANTED TO ALSO COMMENT ON THAT.

I WAS ONE OF THOSE CRAZY MOTHERS THAT BROUGHT MY SONS AND WE HAD A GREAT TIME.

SO I JUST WANTED TO THANK MR. WHITWORTH AND HIS STAFF.

THEY'RE AMAZING.

THEY HAD, YOU KNOW, DINOSAURS AND BOUNCE HOUSES AND IT WAS A REALLY GOOD TIME.

SO WE APPRECIATE THAT KIND OF ACTIVITY FOR THE SONS OF SACHSE.

THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE ON COUNCIL HAVE ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS AT THIS TIME? WELL, WHILE YOU'RE THINKING I WILL TURN IT OVER TO MISS NASH.

THANK YOU. MAYOR.

JUST WANT TO ANNOUNCE A FEW NEW EMPLOYEES THAT WE HAVE IN CASE YOU SEE THEM AROUND THE CAMPUS.

WE ACTUALLY HAVE SEVEN NEW EMPLOYEES.

DUSTIN DICKEY IS A NEW MAINTENANCE TECH IN OUR WASTEWATER DIVISION.

HANNAH MERRICK, PART TIME LIBRARY ASSISTANT.

TRACY COUSIN, PART TIME SCHOOL CROSSING GUARD.

A COUPLE OF NEW DISPATCHERS, DEBORAH LOHR AND LONDON EDWARDS.

WORDS. A NEW HR ANALYST, KIMBERLY BURTON, AND A NEW SENIOR NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES SPECIALIST, ALSO KNOWN AS CODE ENFORCEMENT, BRENDA MCINTOSH.

SHE JUST STARTED WITH US TODAY.

SO VERY EXCITED TO WELCOME THESE FOLKS AND IF YOU SEE THEM, WELCOME THEM TO OUR FAMILY.

WELL, WE'RE WELCOMING NEW MEMBERS TO CODE ENFORCEMENT.

I'M SURE MR. MENDEZ IS VERY HAPPY ABOUT THAT.

I'M SURE. SO THANK YOU, MISS NASH.

JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS FROM ME. THE CITY SECRETARY IS ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR BOARDS AND COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS THROUGH THE END OF SEPTEMBER.

SO THAT'S A COUPLE WEEKS AWAY, IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN VOLUNTEERING TO SERVE ON ANY OF OUR BOARDS, YOU CAN FIND THAT APPLICATION ON THE CITY WEBSITE.

ALSO, WE ARE HAVING WE'RE CONTINUING TO HAVE OUR COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSES FOR OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE.

WE HAVE TWO SESSIONS THIS WEEK.

ONE IS TOMORROW.

TOMORROW FROM 7 TO 8PM AND WEDNESDAY FROM 4 TO 6PM THEN THE FINAL TWO SESSIONS WILL BE NEXT WEEK.

SO SEPTEMBER 24TH, TUESDAY 4 TO 6, AND WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25TH, 6 TO 8.

ALL THESE ARE HELD AT THE MICHAEL J.

FELIX COMMUNITY CENTER.

AGAIN, WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE COMP PLAN WE'RE DOING, AND WE GOT A LOT OF GREAT INPUT SO FAR AND WE WANT THAT TO CONTINUE AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES OUR COMMUNITY GREAT IS BECAUSE OF THE INPUT WE GET FROM OUR RESIDENTS AND SO YOU DO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAY WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN PERSON.

HOWEVER, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THAT, YOU CAN ALSO GO TO OUR WEBSITE.

CITYOFSACHSE.COM/SHAPINGSACHSE2024 ALL ONE WORD AND GIVE YOUR COMMENTS THERE AND WE'LL TAKE THEM EITHER WAY WE CAN GET THEM.

ALSO TO COMING OUT A GREAT ANOTHER GREAT COMMUNITY EVENT IS NATIONAL NIGHT OUT.

THAT'S GOING TO BE TUESDAY OCTOBER 1ST.

WE DO THIS EVERY YEAR, AND I AM VERY GRATEFUL TO CHIEF SYLVESTER BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE NATIONAL EVENT IS IN AUGUST, I THINK, AND WE CHOOSE NOT TO CELEBRATE THAT, IF YOU WILL.

IN AUGUST WE WENT TO A LITTLE COOLER AND SO WE DO THIS EVERY YEAR.

IT PROMOTES COMMUNITY, THE POLICE, COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS MAKES OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SAFER.

IT'S REALLY FUN.

IF YOU'VE NEVER BEEN.

I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO ATTEND ONE IF YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS NOT DOING ONE, TYPICALLY WE'LL HAVE A BLOCK PARTY, COOKOUTS, ALL THAT GOOD STUFF AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, YOU GET TO INTERACT WITH OUR POLICE OFFICERS AND OUR CITY COUNCIL IF YOU WANT TO DO THAT.

AND IT'S JUST A GREAT WAY TO SAY HI TO YOUR NEIGHBORS AND SO THAT IS COMING UP AGAIN TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1ST.

IF YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION SPECIFICALLY ABOUT IT, YOU CAN CONTACT SERGEANT BRANT MERRIMAN AND HIS EMAIL IS BE MERRIMAN AT THE CITYOFSACHSE.COM HE'S ALSO ON THE WEBSITE AND

[00:15:06]

WE'RE GOING TO GIVE HIM SOME MORE KUDOS.

HERITAGE PARK, IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD, IS ABOUT TO BE COMPLETED.

WE'RE WORKING ON THE FINAL DETAILS WITH OUR CONTRACTOR.

BUT AGAIN, AS WE TALKED ABOUT SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES, WE ARE VERY SENSITIVE TO THE GRASS THAT'S GROWING OUT THERE.

SO WE JUST I KNOW IT'S EXCITING AND WE JUST CAN'T WAIT SOMETIMES, BUT WE JUST WANT TO HOLD OFF ON WALKING ON THAT, UNTIL WE ACTUALLY OPEN THE PARK.

SO WE WOULD ASK YOU THAT YOU KINDLY NOT WALK ON THE GRASS.

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE OPEN.

EXCUSE ME? NOT THE OPEN HOUSE, THE GRAND RE GRAND OPENING, IF YOU WILL.

IT'S GOING TO BE OCTOBER 5TH.

THAT'S SATURDAY FROM 11 A.M.

TO 1 P.M. NOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A FEW MORE DETAILS AS WE GET CLOSER.

BUT THAT'S GOING TO BE HERE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.

I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU AGAIN TO GO OUT THERE AND LOOK, DON'T WALK ON THE GRASS, BUT I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO OUT THERE AND LOOK.

IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY AMAZING AND THEY'RE NOT EVEN DONE YET AND IT'S GOING TO BE EVEN MORE AMAZING WHEN THEY GET DONE.

BUT IT'S JUST A REALLY NEAT PROJECT THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO AND QUITE FRANKLY, THAT'S BECAUSE OF OUR RESIDENTS THAT Y'ALL HAVE ALLOWED US TO DO THAT THROUGH FUNDING.

SO JUST MARK YOUR CALENDARS.

OCTOBER 5TH, 11 TO 1 11 A.M.

TO 1 P.M. ON THAT SATURDAY.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS? SEEING NONE, WE'LL MOVE ON.

NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM C, CONSENT AGENDA.

[E. Consent Agenda]

AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE AND EXECUTE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AN AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY SACHSE AND WYLIE AUTO TOWING INCORPORATED FOR CITY WRECKER AND IMPOUND SERVICES.

ANYONE ON THE COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE THIS ITEM.

IF NOT, I'LL TAKE A MOTION.

MS. HOWARTH. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED.

I HAVE MOTION BY MISS HOWARTH TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED.

MR. PRESTENBERG. SECOND.

SECOND. BY MR. PRESTENBERG.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE. PLEASE CAST YOUR BALLOT.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS OUR ACTION ITEMS.

[1. Consider an ordinance authorizing the issuance of City of Sachse, Texas, General Obligation Bonds, Series 2024.]

CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF CITY OF SACHSE TEXAS GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS SERIES 2024.

MS. NASH. MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THIS IS THE FIRST IN SEVERAL ITEMS ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT.

ACTUALLY, I THINK BASICALLY ITEMS ONE THROUGH SIX PERTAINING TO THE 2024-2025 BUDGET AND THESE PARTICULARLY ARE THE SECOND TRANCHE OF BONDS FROM THE G.O.

BOND 2021 RELATIVE TO THOSE PROJECTS AND THE NEXT ONE IS THE TAX NOTES THAT YOU ALL AUTHORIZED RELATIVE TO THE ITEMS NEEDED IN OUR BUDGET FOR GENERATORS AND IT NEEDS.

THERE IS A HILLTOP SECURITIES BOOKLET AT EACH OF YOUR PLACES WHERE JASON WILL GO INTO A LITTLE MORE DETAIL ABOUT ITEMS ONE AND TWO.

LONG TIME NO SEE, MR. HUGHES.

EXACTLY. GLAD TO BE BACK.

SO, AS GINA SAID, YOU DO HAVE THIS SUMMARY IN FRONT OF YOU.

WHAT I'LL DO IS I'LL SPEND THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME BEHIND TAB A, AND I'LL JUST GO THROUGH THE HIGH LEVEL SUMMARY.

IT DOES START OUT WITH THE CREDIT RATINGS AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT.

ONE THING THAT I DO WANT TO UNDERSCORE, MAYOR, WHAT YOU SAID AS FAR AS THE ACTION THAT COUNCIL HAS TAKEN, THOSE CREDIT RATINGS REPRESENT PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS YOU SEE THERE, THAT FIRST KIND OF BULLET POINT, IT TALKS ABOUT THE CITY'S FINANCIAL POSITION, WILL REMAIN SOLID GIVEN A LONG RECORD OF PRUDENT FISCAL MANAGEMENT AND CONSERVATIVE BUDGETING.

SO AGAIN, WHENEVER THE RATING AGENCIES, BOTH S&P AND MOODY'S ARE LOOKING AT THIS, IT'S NOT JUST WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW.

IT'S WHAT YOU'VE DONE IN THE PAST.

AGAIN, IT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT FUTURE CAPITAL NEEDS AND WHAT YOU'RE DOING AS FAR AS YOUR FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE THIS YEAR.

SO AGAIN, MAYOR JUST WANTED TO UNDERSCORE THAT POINT THAT YOU MADE.

THE OTHER THING THAT I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT UNDER MOODY'S IS, AS YOU CAN SEE THERE, IT TALKS ABOUT THE LEVERAGE PROFILE, SIMPLY THE AMOUNT OF DEBT THAT YOU'RE CARRYING AND IT DOES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THAT IS INCREASING BOTH WITH THIS ISSUANCE AS WELL AS THE PLAN 2026 ISSUANCE, WHICH WOULD EXHAUST THE BOND ELECTION AUTHORITY.

BUT IT DOES SAY, HOWEVER, THE LONG TERM LIABILITIES RATIO WILL REMAIN MANAGEABLE AND BELOW AA ONE PEERS.

SO I THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS CERTAINLY WORTH POINTING OUT AS WELL AND THEN AS I TALKED ABOUT, STANDARD AND POUR'S UPGRADED THE CITY THE LAST TIME AROUND IN 2022.

SO YOU CAN SEE YOUR CREDIT RATINGS AGAIN DOUBLE A+ BY S&P AA ONE BY MOODY'S.

IF YOU'LL TURN WITH ME TO THE FOLLOWING PAGE.

SO WE TOOK BIDS ON BOTH THE GEO BONDS AND THE TAX NOTES AND WE INVITED ANY QUALIFIED INVESTMENT BANK TO SUBMIT A BID AND SO THE FIRST ONE THAT WE DID WAS GEO BONDS. YOU RECEIVED NINE BIDS, WHICH WAS EXTREMELY STRONG.

I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT'S WE DON'T NORMALLY GET THAT MANY.

[00:20:01]

SO THE FACT THAT YOU GOT NINE BIDS WAS AGAIN VERY STRONG AND NOT ONLY WAS THAT STRONG, BUT BOK FINANCIAL SECURITIES, WHICH WAS THE WINNING BIDDER, I.E.

THE LOWEST RATE WAS ACTUALLY VERY AGGRESSIVE.

SO THEY BEAT THAT SECOND PLACE BY FOUR BASIS POINTS, WHICH DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A LOT, BUT IN MY WORLD THAT'S A LOT.

SO VERY HAPPY WITH THAT FINAL AMOUNT OF 25.585 MILLION IS WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR YOUR APPROVAL TONIGHT.

THAT DOES PRODUCE, THOUGH, BECAUSE OF THE PREMIUM WHICH COVERED ALL THECOST AND THEN THE BALANCE OF THE PREMIUMS DEPOSITED WITH YOU, THAT PRODUCES 27.29 MILLION IN PROJECT PROCEEDS. SO THAT'S WHAT YOU'LL GET ON CLOSING.

WE DID AMORTIZE A LITTLE BIT MORE PRINCIPAL IN 25 AND 26.

ANYTIME WE'RE LOOKING AT THE ISSUE NOW WHAT WE ALSO TRY AND LOOK AT IS THE FUTURE AS WELL AND SO AGAIN, KNOWING THAT WE HAVE THAT ISSUE COMING IN 26 TO EXHAUST THAT VOTED AUTHORITY, WE HAD A LITTLE BIT MORE PRINCIPAL.

SO SAID ANOTHER WAY YOU'RE PAYING OFF DEBT QUICKER BY DOING THAT.

SO AGAIN FINAL TRUE INTEREST COST OF 3.66 FROM WHAT MY PROJECTIONS WERE TO WHAT WAS ACTUALLY WHAT YOU ACTUALLY ARE CAPTURING, YOU'RE ALMOST $900,000 LESS IN DEBT SERVICE BECAUSE OF THE LOWER INTEREST RATES.

SO THESE ARE CALLABLE IN A LITTLE UNDER TEN YEARS.

ALL THAT SIMPLY MEANS IS YOU.

THE CITY CAN TAKE THESE OUT IF YOU WANTED TO REFINANCE THEM LIKE YOU REFINANCE YOUR HOME MORTGAGE, OR IF YOU WANTED TO PAY THEM OFF EARLY AND THEN THE LAST THING IS ASSUMING YOUR APPROVAL, THEN YOU WILL HAVE MONEY IN THE BANK.

OCTOBER 17TH.

SO THAT'S THE GEO BONDS.

THE TAX NOTES ALSO SOLD THROUGH THAT COMPETITIVE PROCESS A LITTLE BIT SMALLER.

SO FEWER BIDS. THAT WAS CERTAINLY EXPECTED BUT STILL VERY STRONG BIDS, WITH ROBERT W BAIRD BEING THE LOW BID AT RIGHT AT 2.9%.

SO FINAL PAR AMOUNT OF 940,000.

SO THAT SHRANK CONSIDERABLY AFTER TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THAT PREMIUM AND REDUCED COST.

THAT WILL PRODUCE A LITTLE OVER $970,000 IN PROJECT PROCEEDS.

THAT IS A SEVEN YEAR TERM, WHICH IS WHAT TAX NOTES ARE LIMITED TO, AND THAT WILL CLOSE ON THE SAME OCTOBER 17TH.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE THERE IN THE SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS, ALL OF THE COST OF ISSUANCE ARE ENCAPSULATED WITHIN THE TWO ISSUES.

SAID ANOTHER WAY, THERE'S NO FUNDS COMING FROM YOUR GENERAL FUND OR ANY OTHER FUNDS USED TO PAY THOSE COSTS AND IF YOU'LL TURN WITH THE LETTER, TURN WITH ME TO THE LAST PAGE BEHIND TAB A, THIS JUST SHOWS THE DEBT SERVICE FOR EACH.

AGAIN, THE 2024 GEO BONDS WERE 20 YEAR DEBT.

THE TAX NOTES WERE SEVEN YEAR DEBT AND THEN I'VE ALSO INCLUDED BEHIND TAB B A FULL SET OF NUMBERS.

AND TAB C ARE BOTH OF THE RATING REPORTS.

SO EACH FROM MOODY'S AND S&P.

SO THAT'S MY REPORT.

I'M CERTAINLY HAPPY TO GO INTO ANY MORE DETAIL AS YOU LIKE OR ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

THANK YOU, MR. HUGHES AND JUST FOR REFERENCE FOR COUNCIL, MR. HUGHES DID SUMMARIZE BOTH ITEMS ONE AND TWO.

WE WILL VOTE ON THOSE SEPARATELY.

HOWEVER, I'LL CALL ITEM TWO WHEN WE GET TO THAT.

SO JUST FYI.

OKAY. QUESTIONS FOR MR. HUGHES FROM COUNCIL.

MR. PRESTENBERG, REAL QUICK, THANK YOU FOR THIS READOUT.

IT'S REALLY GOOD.

JUST FOR MY OWN BENEFIT, CHANGING YOUR MOODY'S CREDIT RATING GOING UP ONE NOTCH FROM A BASIS POINT STANDPOINT, WHAT'S THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THAT? THAT'S PROBABLY 3 TO 5 BASIS POINTS.

OKAY. BUT IT'S REALLY ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT IT COMPOUNDS OVER TIME.

RIGHT. AGAIN, IF YOU THINK BACK AND GRANTED IT'S A LONG PERIOD OF TIME IN 2000, WHEREAS AN A MINUS, THE DIFFERENCE FROM THAT TO WHERE YOU ARE NOW IS PROBABLY 25 TO 35 BASIS POINTS. OKAY.

THE OTHER THING I WILL TELL YOU IS AND I FULLY EXPECT EVERYTHING KEEPS GOING LIKE IT'S GOING, THAT YOU WOULD ACHIEVE THE TRIPLE A.

THAT'S WHERE YOU SEE PROBABLY MAYBE 5 TO 10 BASIS POINTS BECAUSE YOU ARE THAT TOP CREDIT RATING.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

YEAH THAT'S THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD AND I LIKE IT.

THANK YOU. YES, SIR AND I JUST I'M NOT TRYING TO BELABOR THE POINT, BUT YOU SAID SOMETHING THAT I STILL AM PROCESSING.

YOU KNOW, GOING BACK TO 2000, 2001, 25 BASIS POINTS, IF NOT MORE, IF NOT MORE.

AND LIKE YOU SAID, IN YOUR WORLD THE SECOND AGO, LESS THAN A POINT IS A BIG DEAL.

SO AGAIN, THAT'S INCREDIBLE THAT WE'VE COME SO FAR IN DOING THAT.

SO. YES, SIR. AND I'M ASSUMING IT MAKES YOUR JOB A LITTLE EASIER AS WELL.

WELL, I'LL SELL THE DEBT NO MATTER WHAT, BUT IT CERTAINLY HELPS.

IT HELPS YOU AND THE OTHER THING, TOO, I WILL JUST VERY QUICKLY SAY NOT ONLY DOES IT LOWER THE INTEREST RATE, BUT KIND OF WRAPPED UP, WRAPPED UP IN THAT IS, IT BRINGS IN MORE BUYERS TO THE HIGHER THAT CREDIT RATING GOES, HIGHER THE CREDIT RATING GOES, THE MORE POTENTIAL BUYERS YOU HAVE.

LOOKING AT THAT, MORE BUYERS COME IN, LOWERS THE INTEREST RATE.

YEAH, I WAS GONNA SAY YOU REFERENCED THIS EARLIER.

IT'S MORE COMPETITIVE BECAUSE YOU HAD THE TOP COMPANY WAS REALLY FIGHTING, IF YOU WILL, TO GET THAT BID.

THAT'S RIGHT. THEY WANTED PAPER.

IT'S TEXAS PAPER.

IT'S AGAIN AA+ AA1 IT'S IN THE METROPLEX.

I MEAN THERE'S A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT FACTORS THAT YOU HAD GOING FOR YOU THAT LEAD TO THAT LOW INTEREST RATE.

[00:25:01]

THANK YOU, MR. REEVES. THANK YOU.

THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM.

SO IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE DISCUSSION OF MOTIONS FROM COUNCIL.

MS. HOWARTH.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM F1 AS PRESENTED.

I HAVE A MOTION BY MISS HOWARTH TO APPROVE ITEM F ONE AS PRESENTED.

I HAVE A SECOND. MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKS SECOND.

SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKS.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE. PLEASE CAST YOUR BALLOT.

THE MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM TWO.

[2. Ordinance authorizing the issuance of City of Sachse, Texas, Tax Notes, Series 2024.]

AS I MENTIONED, MR. HUGHES HAS ALREADY SUMMARIZED THIS ITEM.

SO ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OF MR. HUGHES OR STAFF ON ITEM NUMBER TWO? DOES ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE.

DISCUSSIONS. MOTIONS FROM COUNCIL.

MISS BUHLER, IF THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT ITEM F TWO AS PRESENTED.

YES, I HAVE A MOTION BY MISS BUHLER TO ACCEPT ITEM F2 AS PRESENTED.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? MR. PRESTENBERG SECOND.

SECOND. BY MR. PRESTENBERG, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE. PLEASE CAST YOUR BALLOT.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM THREE.

[3. Consider an ordinance of the City Council of Sachse, Texas, authorizing certain budget and Capital Improvement Plan amendments pertaining to the fiscal year 2023-2024 Budget and Capital Improvement Plan; and providing an effective date.]

MISS NASH MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

AS I REFERENCED EARLIER, THIS IS A ONE IN A SERIES OF BUDGET RELATED ITEMS. THIS PARTICULARLY PERTAINS TO BUDGET AMENDMENTS THAT HAVE TO BE REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THE 2023 2024 BUDGET AND CIP. BEFORE WE CAN MOVE FORWARD INTO THE 2425 BUDGET AND DAVID BALDWIN HAS A BRIEF PRESENTATION OUTLINING THIS.

HELLO, MR. BALDWIN. HELLO, MAYOR.

COUNCIL. AGAIN, I'LL WAIT FOR THE.

I HAVE A FEELING THAT'S NOT YOUR PRESENTATION.

[INAUDIBLE]..

OUR TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES.

FINE.

[INAUDIBLE].

IT WAS JUST HIDING, APPARENTLY.

[INAUDIBLE].

TAKE TWO. MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

FINANCE CAN DO IT STUFF TOO.

ALL RIGHT, SO THIS AGENDA ITEM AS AS GINA STATED, IS FOR THE 2324 BUDGET AMENDMENTS.

I'LL MOVE THEN TO THE AGENDA.

SO I WILL REVIEW THE BUDGET ADOPTION AND AMENDMENT POLICY.

I'LL GO THROUGH REQUESTED CHANGES BY FUND AND THEN PROVIDE STAFF'S RECOMMENDED ACTIONS.

CURRENT BUDGET.

THE CURRENT BUDGET WAS ADOPTED SEPTEMBER 18TH, 2023.

IT CONSISTS OF THE BUDGET APPROPRIATION, WHICH IS BY FUND IN EXHIBIT A IN THE BUDGET ADOPTION ORDINANCE, AND IT CONSISTS OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN, OR CIP, WHICH IS EXHIBIT B OF THAT ORDINANCE.

THE BUDGET WAS FURTHER AMENDED NOVEMBER 6TH, 2023.

[00:30:01]

SO THE AMENDMENTS THAT WERE THAT ARE REQUESTED THIS EVENING FIRST INCLUDE CHANGES TO THE GENERAL FUND, AND THAT IS SIMPLY FOR EXPENDITURE AUTHORITY FOR PREVIOUSLY UNBUDGETED REVENUE.

THE FIRST ITEM IN THAT TABLE IS FOR GRANT REVENUE.

ON MAY 6TH, STAFF CAME TO COUNCIL WITH AN AGENDA ITEM THAT WAS FOR BROOKVIEW COURT PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS FOR ABOUT $125,000.

THAT IS FROM A COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT.

SO THIS IS JUST TAKING THOSE FUNDS AND REQUESTING EXPENDITURE AUTHORITY OF THOSE FUNDS.

SIMILARLY, WE'RE REQUESTING AN APPROPRIATION FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR FIRE EMPLOYEE DEPLOYMENT.

SO THERE WAS A LIBERTY COUNTY FLOOD.

OUR RESPONSE WAS TO SEND ONE FIREFIGHTER WHO WENT DOWN THERE AND DID SOME WORK AND SO THAT IS FUNDED BY THE TEXAS DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, OR TDEM.

THAT'S REIMBURSEMENT REVENUE COMING TO US.

SO WE'RE ASKING FOR EXPENDITURE AUTHORITY FOR THOSE EXPENSES.

IN ADDITION, WE HAVE REVENUE THAT WASN'T PREVIOUSLY BUDGETED.

THAT'S FOR THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE BLAST, $21,000 FOR EVENT DONATIONS.

SO THE TOTAL FOR THE GENERAL FUND REQUESTED IS $168,474.

I HAVE A COLUMN THERE FOR CIP AMENDMENTS.

THERE ARE NO CIP AMENDMENTS IN THE GENERAL FUND.

BUT JUST FOR CONSISTENCY, WE'RE SHOWING THAT COLUMN HERE.

ON TO THE NEXT FUND, THE UTILITY FUND.

SO AT THE AUGUST 5TH, 2024 COUNCIL MEETING, STAFF STATED AN INTENTION TO RETURN TO COUNCIL TO REQUEST A BUDGET AMENDMENT TRANSFERRING SEWER FUNDS BETWEEN PROJECTS FOR A PIPE BURSTING CONTRACT.

AND SO THIS MOVES FUNDS $140,000 FROM SS-24-19, WHICH IS SEWER, MANHOLE, ODOR AND GAS REMEDIATION, REMEDIATION AND MOVING THAT TO SS-24-21, WHICH IS A NEW PROJECT AND THAT IS MURPHY ROAD SEWER MAIN REPAIR.

SO OVERALL, THAT'S A $0 NET CHANGE.

HOWEVER, IT IS A NEW CAPITAL PROJECT IN THE STREET MAINTENANCE FUND.

THE REQUEST IS FOR CURRENT YEAR FUND APPROPRIATION FOR A PREVIOUSLY AUTHORIZED CAPITAL EXPENDITURE PROJECT.

SO IN THE CIP THERE WAS A PROJECT.

THEIR BUDGET WAS WAS AUTHORIZED IN PRIOR YEARS.

IT WASN'T ALL SPENT IN THOSE PRIOR YEARS.

IT WAS SPENT IN THIS YEAR AND SO WE'RE JUST REQUESTING THE FUND AUTHORITY TO MATCH THE CIP.

SO REQUESTING THAT FUND AUTHORITY IN THIS YEAR.

IN THE VEHICLE EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT FUND OR VERF, WE'RE REQUESTING PRIMARILY OF PRIOR YEAR SAVINGS AVAILABLE.

DUE TO THE TIMING OF THE EXPENSE.

THE FIRST TWO ITEMS THERE ARE FOR FIRE APPARATUS.

ONE IS A BRAUN AMBULANCE THAT WE HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED THAT WAS ORIGINALLY REQUESTED IN FISCAL YEAR 21-22, AND NOW WE JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE THE EXPENSE IN THIS YEAR, WE'RE REQUESTING THE APPROPRIATION FOR THAT.

THE SECOND ITEM IS FOR A TYPE THREE WITH CASCADE SYSTEMS. SO BASICALLY I'LL CALL IT A FIRE TRUCK IN MY LAYMAN'S TERMS AND FOR THAT WE'RE EXPECTING TO RECEIVE IT LATER ON THIS MONTH AND SO THAT'S REQUESTING BUDGET APPROPRIATION FOR THAT VEHICLE.

NEXT WE HAVE SOME EXPENSES THAT ARE IN EXCESS OF BUDGET.

THIS IS KIND OF A WORST CASE SCENARIO THAT WE'RE REQUESTING.

THE FISCAL YEAR BUDGET DOESN'T CLOSE UNTIL THE END OF THIS CALENDAR YEAR AND SO WE'RE JUST REQUESTING AUTHORITY FOR ANY FUNDS THAT WE MIGHT NEED.

THAT IS SO IN THE BUDGET PROCESS.

WE SUBMIT BUDGET REQUESTS IN MARCH, AND WE HAVE QUOTES FROM DEPARTMENTS OR FROM BUSINESSES.

BUT THOSE QUOTES MAY EXPIRE AND WE KNOW INFLATION RATES THESE DAYS.

SO THOSE HAVE GONE UP A LITTLE BIT.

SOMETIMES IT'S A TIMING.

BUT WE'RE REQUESTING EXPENDITURE AUTHORITY FOR FOR THOSE ITEMS TO THE AMOUNT OF $175,000 AND THEN LASTLY, WE HAD IN OUR 2425 BUDGET, WE HAVE A REQUEST FOR HVAC SYSTEM REPLACEMENT AND THAT FAILED ON US IN THE LIBRARY.

SO WE ALREADY HAD TO EXPEND THAT AND SO WE'RE JUST REQUESTING BUDGET AUTHORITY IN THIS YEAR.

IN THE TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE OR TIRZ TO THE STATION FUND, WE'RE REQUESTING AUTHORITY TO SPEND UNSPENT PRIOR YEAR FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR, AGAIN, A CURRENT YEAR EXPENSE.

SO SPECIFICALLY, THIS IS CONTRIBUTION DRAWS TO THE DEVELOPER FOR PROJECTS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED IN THE REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT.

[00:35:03]

THERE IS FUND BALANCE AVAILABLE.

AGAIN, LIKE ALL OF THESE, THESE OTHERS, THIS IS SIMPLY A TIMING ISSUE.

IN THE HEALTH INSURANCE FUND, WE'RE REQUESTING AUTHORITY FOR EXPENDITURES NOT DIRECTLY APPLICABLE TO OTHER FUNDS.

SO EMPLOYEES ARE IN THE GENERAL FUND, UTILITY FUND AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION FUND.

SOMETIMES THERE'S EXPENSES THAT ARE HARDER TO ALLOCATE.

THESE FUNDS CONTRIBUTE TO THE HEALTH INSURANCE FUND.

SO SOMETIMES IT'S JUST BETTER TO EXPEND OUT OF THAT FUND.

SO WE'RE REQUESTING $65,000 TO THAT FUND BALANCE.

OUR ACTUALS TO DATE ARE $32,000 IN THAT FUND AND IN FACT, THROUGH OUR RESEARCH FOR THIS, WE WERE ABLE OR WERE NOW ANTICIPATING A REFUND OF OVERBILLING OF $20,000.

SO SMALL AMOUNT OF EXPENDITURES, HOWEVER, WERE REQUESTING EXTRA JUST BECAUSE THE YEAR DOESN'T CLOSE UNTIL THE END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR.

WHEN WE DO ALL THE ACCOUNTING AND CLOSE THIS FISCAL YEAR, SO WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE BUDGET AUTHORITY REQUESTED IN THIS YEAR, WE WON'T EXPEND ANY MORE THAN IS NECESSARY IN THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT OR ARPA FUND.

AGAIN, IT'S THAT CIP ISSUE WHERE WE'RE REQUESTING PREVIOUSLY AUTHORIZED AUTHORITY THAT WAS UNBUDGETED IN THE CURRENT YEAR AND ANOTHER CIP FUND.

THE 2022 BOND CONSTRUCTION FUND, AGAIN REQUESTING PREVIOUSLY AUTHORIZED CIP PROJECT AUTHORITY THAT WAS UNBUDGETED IN THE CURRENT YEAR.

THAT'S FOR BOND CONSTRUCTION FUND PROJECTS SHOWING AND SO OVERALL THESE CHANGES ARE SHOWING HERE IN THE SUMMARY TABLE ON THE LEFT ARE ALL OF THE FUNDS THAT I SPOKE TO A TOTAL OF JUST OVER $10.2 MILLION.

LARGELY IT'S CIP RELATED LARGE VEHICLES OR AVAILABLE FUND BALANCE.

REMEMBER, IN THE UTILITY FUND THERE WAS A CHANGE BETWEEN CAPITAL PROJECTS 140,000 BEING REMOVED FROM ONE PROJECT BEING ADDED TO ANOTHER.

SO IT SHOWS A ZERO HERE, EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A CAPITAL CHANGE.

AND SO WITH THAT STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS THAT COUNCIL APPROVE AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING CERTAIN BUDGET AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS PERTAINING TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 OR 2023 2024 BUDGET AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN.

THANK YOU, MR. BALDWIN.

QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL FOR STAFF.

ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS SITE? SEEING THEN.

DISCUSSES MOTIONS FROM COUNCIL OR MORE QUESTIONS MR. PRESTENBERG AND JUST HAD ONE QUESTION EARLIER.

YOU TALKED ABOUT JUST HAVING ENSURING YOU HAVE ENOUGH FUNDS AVAILABLE TO GET US TO THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR.

IF THOSE FUNDS AREN'T NEEDED, DOES IT JUST GO BACK INTO THE GENERAL FUND OR DOES IT STAY IN THE GENERAL FUND UNLESS IT'S NEEDED? YEAH, THIS IS JUST REQUESTING A DO NOT EXCEED AUTHORITY FROM COUNCIL.

ANY FUNDS NOT SPENT REMAIN IN THE FUND BALANCE AND WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE YEARS.

YES. WHICH IS LARGELY HOW WE GOT HERE.

IN PRIOR YEARS. WE HAD THE BUDGET AUTHORITY.

THE EXPENSE NEVER CAME.

THE MAYBE THE VEHICLE NEVER CAME AND SO WE NEVER HAD THAT COST AND SO THE DOLLARS REMAIN IN FUND BALANCE AND NOW WE'RE JUST REQUESTING THAT AUTHORITY IN THE FOLLOW UP YEAR. OKAY.

THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL.

NOW ENTERTAIN MOTIONS.

MISS HOWARTH, I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE.

ITEM F THREE AS PRESENTED.

[4. Consider an ordinance of the City of Sachse, Texas, adopting the budget for fiscal year beginning October 1, 2024 and ending September 30, 2025; providing that expenditures for said fiscal year shall be made in accordance with said budget; appropriating and setting aside the necessary funds out of the general and other revenues for said fiscal year for the maintenance and operation of the various departments and for various activities and improvements of the City; providing a repealing clause; providing a severability clause; and providing an effective date.]

APPROPRIATING AND SETTING ASIDE THE NECESSARY FUNDS AT THE GENERAL AND OTHER REVENUES FOR SAID FISCAL YEAR, FOR THE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION OF THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS, AND FOR VARIOUS ACTIVITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS OF THE CITY.

PROVIDING A REPEALING CLAUSE, PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

[00:40:01]

THIS ITEM IN FRONT OF YOU IS, AS I SAID, THE FIRST OF THREE STEPS.

IT'S KIND OF. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT EARLIER.

ADOPT RATIFY LEVY.

SO THIS IS STEP ONE OF ADOPTING THE 2024-2025 BUDGET.

THAT HAS TO BE DONE BY ORDINANCE.

THIS DOES REQUIRE A RECORD VOTE AND ANYBODY THAT DOES WANT TO MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION RELATIVE TO THIS, THE CAPTION IS LAID OUT WITHIN YOUR PACKET SPECIFICALLY AND THEN DENISE WILL DO THE RECORD VOTE.

A MOTION.

MAKE THE MOTION. YES, SIR.

MAKE THE MOTION BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATION.

YES SIR. YEAH. GOTCHA. OKAY.

THANK YOU, MISS NASH. QUESTIONS FOR STAFF FROM COUNCIL.

ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS ITEM.

SEEING NONE.

AGAIN, AS MISS NASH MENTIONED.

IF COUNCIL SO DESIRES TO MAKE A MOTION AND VOTE ON THIS.

YOU CAN MAKE THE MOTION, THE RECOMMENDATION AND THE STAFF REPORT AND THEN IF SO, BE IT.

AND WE HAVE A SECOND. MISS LEWIS WILL CALL YOUR NAME AND YOU WILL VOTE IN THE AFFIRMATIVE OR THE NEGATIVE.

WITH THAT, MOTIONS FOR DISCUSSION.

NOT EVERYBODY WANTS. MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKS MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE ITEM E FOUR AS PRESENTED.

OKAY, WE CAN'T DO THAT.

OH, SORRY. YOU JUST SAID THAT.

YEAH. MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF TEXAS.

TEXAS ADOPTING THE BUDGET OF THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 4TH, 2024, AND ENDING SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2025, PROVIDING THE EXPENDITURES FOR SAID FISCAL YEAR SHALL BE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SAID BUDGET APPROACHING, APPROPRIATING EXCUSE ME AND SETTING ASIDE THE NECESSARY FUNDS OUT OF THE GENERAL AND OTHER VENUES FOR SAID FISCAL YEAR, OF THE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATING OF THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS, AND FOR VARIOUS ACTIVITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS OF THE CITY.

PROVIDING A REPEALING CLAUSE, PROVIDING SEVERABILITY CLAUSE AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

WELL, YOU COULDN'T DO WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO.

I APPRECIATE YOUR SPIRIT.

THANK YOU FOR THAT. OKAY.

I HAVE A MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKS.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? MISS HOWARTH, I HAVE A SECOND.

BY MISS HOWARTH, YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ ALL THAT.

OKAY. WITH THAT, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION BEFORE WE VOTE? OKAY. HEARING NONE. AS I SAID, THIS IS A RECORD VOTE.

SO WITH THAT, MISS LEWIS, CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.

AND BY MY COUNT, MOTION IS APPROVED.

I GUESS THE RECORD WILL REFLECT MR. LINDSEY BEING ABSENT.

CORRECT? FOR THE RECORD.

VOTE. OKAY. YES. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM FIVE.

[5. Consider ratifying the property tax increase in the budget for Fiscal Year 2024-2025.]

MISS NASH, STEP TWO IN THE PROCESS TONIGHT IS ACTUALLY RATIFYING THE PROPERTY TAX RATE AS IT IS A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE.

TECHNICALLY, WHILE THE RATE STAYED THE SAME, WE WOULD SEE EVEN RECEIVE AN INCREASE IN TAXES.

WHAT I DO WANT TO POINT OUT IS THAT THIS IS BELOW THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE.

SO WE WERE NOT REQUIRED TO DO A SECOND PUBLIC HEARING BECAUSE WE ARE BELOW THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE AND DAVID HAS A BRIEF PRESENTATION LAYING THIS OUT.

HELLO, MR. BALDWIN MAYOR COUNCIL.

SO YES, THIS ACTION IS FOR PROPERTY TAX RATIFICATION OR FORMAL CONSENT.

TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE STATES THAT ADOPTING THE BUDGET, RAISING MORE REVENUE FROM PROPERTY TAXES THAN PREVIOUS YEAR, REQUIRES A SEPARATE VOTE FROM THE GOVERNING BODY. BUDGET COVER PAGE SHOWS THAT THE BUDGET WILL RAISE $2.99 MILLION MORE REVENUE FROM PROPERTY TAXES.

THAT CALCULATION IN THE BUDGET SHEET INCLUDES REVENUE FROM NEW CONSTRUCTION TIRZ REVENUE, DEBT SERVICE FUND REVENUE, AND GENERAL FUND REVENUE.

SO STAFF ASKS THAT COUNCIL CONSIDER RATIFYING THE PROPERTY TAX INCREASE IN THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025.

THANK YOU, MR. BALDWIN.

QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL FOR STAFF.

IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE AND AGAIN, JUST AS A NOTE, THIS WILL BE A RECORD VOTE AND IF A COUNCIL MEMBER SO DESIRES, YOU CAN MAKE YOUR MOTION THE RECOMMENDATION IN THE STAFF REPORT OR YOU CAN SAY WHAT YOU WANT.

MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKS. YES, MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CONSIDER RATIFYING, APPROVING AND RATIFYING THE PROPERTY TAX INCREASE FOR THE BUDGET.

[00:45:08]

THANK YOU. MR. FRANKS. HAVE A MOTION BY MR. FRANKS TO RATIFY THE PROPERTY TAX INCREASE IN THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024 2025.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? MISS BUHLER SECOND.

I HAVE A SECOND, BY MISS BUHLER.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? AS I MENTIONED, THIS IS A RECORD OF CLARIFICATION.

YES, MA'AM.

GO AHEAD. POINT OF CLARIFICATION FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY.

THE RECOMMENDATION THAT'S OUTLINED WITH THE SPECIFIC BREAKOUT OF THE TAX RATE.

DO THEY NEED TO READ THAT INTO THE RECORD? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

I THINK HE SAID NO.

OKAY. AGAIN, THIS WILL BE A RECORD VOTE.

SO WITH THAT, MISS LEWIS, IF YOU'LL CALL THE ROLL.

DO DECLARE THE MOTION PASSED AND ALSO NOTE THAT MR. LINDSEY IS ABSENT TONIGHT.

YES. THANK YOU, MISS LEWIS.

ALL RIGHT, NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM SIX.

[6. Consider an ordinance of the City of Sachse, Texas, levying ad valorem taxes for the year 2024 (Fiscal Year 2024-2025) at a Maintenance and Operations rate of $0.456209 and a Debt Service rate of $0.194207 for a total rate of $0.650416 per one hundred dollars ($100) assessed valuation on all taxable property within the corporate limits of the City of Sachse as of January 1, 2024, to provide revenue for the payment of current expenses; providing for an Interest and Sinking fund for all outstanding debt of the City of Sachse; providing for due and delinquent dates together with penalties and interest; providing a severability clause; providing a repealing clause; and providing an effective date.]

LEVYING. LEVY? CAN YOU SAY THAT? LEVY. THERE YOU GO. AD VALOREM TAXES FOR THE YEAR 2024 FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025, AT A MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS RATE OF 0.456209 AND A DEBT SERVICE RATE OF 0.194207, FOR A TOTAL RATE OF 0.65041 $0.06 PER $100.

ASSESSED VALUATION ON ALL TAXABLE PROPERTY WITHIN THE CORPORATE LIMITS OF THE CITY OF SACHSE AS OF JANUARY 1ST, 2024, TO PROVIDE REVENUE FOR THE PAYMENT OF CURRENT EXPENSES.

PROVIDING AN INTEREST AND SINKING FUND FOR ALL OUTSTANDING DEBT OF THE CITY OF SACHSE.

PROVIDING THE DUE AND PROVIDING FOR DUE AND DELINQUENT DATES TOGETHER WITH PENALTIES AND INTEREST.

PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, PROVIDING A REPEALING CLAUSE AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

MS. NASH. MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THIS IS THE FINAL OF THE THREE STEPS, ACTUALLY THE LEVY.

SO IF THE CITY COUNCIL ELECTS TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS IN THE RECOMMENDATION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LEAD SHEET FOR THE AGENDA ITEM, IT SPECIFICALLY OUTLINES HOW TO FILE THE MOTION WITH THE BREAKOUT OF THE TAX RATE.

SO NOT QUITE AS EXTENSIVE AS THE CAPTION.

A LITTLE BIT MORE SUMMARIZED, THANKFULLY.

SO THANK YOU, MISS NASH.

QUESTIONS FOR STAFF.

EXCUSE ME. QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL FOR STAFF.

ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS ITEM? WITH THAT ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION BEFORE WE DO OUR RECORD VOTE? ALL RIGHT. HEARING NONE, I WILL HAVE MISS LEWIS CALL THE ROLL.

OH, I'M SORRY, I NEED A MOTION.

MY BAD. GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF. OKAY.

I NEED A MOTION TO DO THAT FIRST.

SORRY AND AGAIN, IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A MOTION, YOU CAN JUST READ THE RECOMMENDATION IN THE STAFF REPORT.

MR. PRESTENBERG.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL GIVE IT A TRY.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE, OR I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION F.6 CONSIDERING AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SACHSE, TEXAS, LEVYING AD VALOREM TAXES FOR THE YEAR 2020 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025, AND A MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS RATE OF 0.45620 $0.09, AND A DEBT SERVICE RATE OF 0.19420 $0.07, FOR A TOTAL RATE OF 0.65041 $0.06 PER $100.

ASSESSED VALUATION OF ALL TAXABLE PROPERTY WITHIN THE CORPORATE LIMITS OF THE CITY OF SACHSE AS OF JANUARY 1ST, 2024, TO PROVIDE REVENUE FOR THE PAYMENT OF CURRENT EXPENSES. PROVIDING FOR AN INTEREST IN SINKING FUND FOR ALL OUTSTANDING DEBT OF THE CITY OF SACHSE.

PROVIDING FOR DUE AND DELINQUENT DATES TOGETHER WITH PENALTIES AND INTEREST.

PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, PROVIDING A REPEALING CLAUSE AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

I HAVE A MOTION BY MR. PRESTENBERG. DO I HAVE A SECOND? MISS HOWARTH SECOND.

I HAVE A SECOND BY MISS HOWARTH.

JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, MR. GORFIDA. THAT IS OKAY TO READ WHAT HE READ.

YES. OKAY.

THANK YOU. AS OPPOSED TO THE RECOMMENDATION.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE. SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT LONGER, BUT IT SERVES THE SAME PURPOSE, SO.

YEAH. WELL, YOU'RE ON A ROLL.

I DIDN'T WANT TO STOP YOU. SO.

OKAY, SO I HAVE A MOTION AS READ BY MR.

[00:50:01]

NOW WE WILL CALL THE ROLL MS. LEWIS.

THANK YOU, MIS LEWIS. I DEEM THE MOTION APPROVED.

AGAIN, I WOULD NOTE THAT MR. LINDSEY IS ABSENT TONIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, I WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SAY A HEARTFELT THANK YOU TO STAFF.

THIS IS PROBABLY A, I WOULD GATHER TO SAY, A ONE OF THE MORE FUN THINGS TO DO EVERY YEAR.

BUT IT'S ALL OBVIOUSLY FOR A VERY GOOD CAUSE.

WE CANNOT RUN OUR CITY WITHOUT IT AND I ALSO WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SAY THANK YOU TO COUNCIL FOR PROVIDING THE DIRECTION THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR STAFF TO GET US TO WHERE WE'RE AT AND WHILE WE ALWAYS WANT TO HAVE THE LOWEST TAX RATE HUMANLY POSSIBLE, IT'S NOT ALWAYS THAT WAY AND WE HAVE, IN MY OPINION, WE HAVE A VERY CHALLENGING ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT RIGHT NOW, AND THAT'S EVEN MORE OF A TESTAMENT TO STAFF THAT YOU HAVE TO NAVIGATE THAT AS WELL AND SATISFY A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT THE OLD SAYING GOES, IF YOU TRY TO MAKE EVERYBODY HAPPY, YOU'LL MAKE NOBODY HAPPY.

SO Y'ALL DID A GREAT JOB WITH THAT AND LOOKING FORWARD TO ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL BUDGET YEAR STARTING OCTOBER 1ST.

THANK YOU AGAIN TO ALL STAFF FOR YOUR HARD WORK ON THIS BUDGET.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM SEVEN.

[7. Conduct a public hearing to consider and act on a request to amend the existing gas station Special Use Permit, SUP 23-01, to revise the boundary, site, building layout, and add two additional gas pumps, generally located north of President George Bush Turnpike and east of Merritt Road, within Sachse city limits.]

SPECIAL USE PERMIT SP 2301 TO REVISE THE BOUNDARY SITE BUILDING LAYOUT AND ADD TWO ADDITIONAL GAS PUMPS, GENERALLY LOCATED NORTH OF PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH TURNPIKE AND EAST OF MERRITT ROAD WITHIN THE SACHSE CITY LIMITS.

MISS NASH MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THIS SPECIAL USE PERMIT WAS CONSIDERED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AT THEIR LAST MEETING, AND WAS APPROVED TO MOVE FORWARD.

RECOMMENDED APPROVAL TO MOVE FORWARD TO YOU ALL TONIGHT.

MATT ROBINSON, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, WILL GIVE THE SAME PRESENTATION THAT HE GAVE TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION TO YOU ALL AND BE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU ALL MOVE FORWARD WITH PUBLIC HEARING.

HELLO, MR. ROBINSON.

GOOD EVENING. [INAUDIBLE].

BUSY THERE? OKAY. THERE WE GO.

GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

AS MENTIONED, THIS IS A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR THE ARIA GAS STATION.

I GUESS I'LL DO IT THIS WAY.

LET'S GO THAT WAY. AS MENTIONED, THIS IS LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF GEORGE BUSH TURNPIKE AND MERRITT ROAD.

THE PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY 1.72 ACRES IN SIZE AND IS CURRENTLY VACANT.

THE APPLICANT HAS DESIRING TO REVISE THE SITE SITE LAYOUT TO ADD TWO ADDITIONAL PUMPS INCREASE THE BUILDING SIZE ITSELF AND OVERALL CHANGE THE BUILDING LAYOUT.

HEY, MATT, COULD YOU GO AHEAD AND DO THAT.

DOUBLE ARROW IN THE TOP, KIND OF CLOSE TO THE RIGHT POINTING UP.

NOPE. HE CAN'T SEE THAT ONE.

I KNOW I'M POINTING TO THE SCREEN.

I GOT YOU CAN SEE IT, BUT I APOLOGIZE.

MY APOLOGIES. THAT'S OKAY.

AS PART OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, AN SUP IS REQUIRED FOR AUTO RELATED USES, INCLUDING GAS STATION USES WITHIN THE PGBT ZONING DISTRICT.

AN SUP IS GENERALLY REQUIRED FOR USES THAT MAY ALLOW, BUT ARE THAT MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SCRUTINY, SUCH AS SCREENING OR OTHER ELEMENTS.

BASED ON THE SITUATION.

AS NOTED, AN SUP WAS APPROVED FOR THIS SITE BACK IN JUNE OF 2023 BY THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THIS USE.

THIS SITE HAS CHANGED A LITTLE BIT.

THEY'RE INCREASING THE SIZE OF THE LAYOUT OF THE BUILDING, ADDING TWO ADDITIONAL PUMPS AND THEN INCREASING THE SIZE OF THE PROPERTY FROM 1.5 ACRES TO APPROXIMATELY 1.72 ACRES.

HERE YOU CAN SEE THE GENERAL LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED GAS STATION USE.

ON THE LEFT IS THE NEW PROPOSED SUP LAYOUT AND THEN ON THE RIGHT IS THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED SUP.

IF YOU NOTICE ON THE LEFT THERE IS A THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL DRIVE THRU LANE.

SO TWO DRIVE THRU LANES THAT TURN INTO ONE AND THEN THERE'S A BYPASS LANE ON THE OUTSIDE AND THEN ON THE RIGHT YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE'S EIGHT GAS PUMPS.

THE BUILDING'S A LITTLE BIT MORE ANGLED AND AS WELL AS THE GAS PUMPS ARE ANGLED AS WELL.

AS NOTED, THE BUILDING SIZE IS INCREASING FROM APPROXIMATELY 4700FT² TO APPROXIMATELY 6900FT²

[00:55:09]

AS MISS NASH MENTIONED THIS ITEM WAS APPROVED AT THE SEPTEMBER 9TH PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING BY A VOTE OF 5 TO 1.

WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

NOW, SURELY THAT WASN'T THE EXACT PRESENTATION YOU GAVE P&Z.

PROBABLY A LITTLE DIFFERENT. RIGHT.

OKAY. WHEN I READ THE STAFF REPORT, THE ONE THING I TOOK FROM IT, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I TOOK IT CORRECTLY.

IS THAT THE MAIN DRIVER BEHIND THE CHANGES WOULD BE THE ADDITIONAL PUMPS AND THE ADDING THE SECOND OR THE SECOND DRIVE THRU LANE.

IS THAT FAIR TO SAY IN GENERAL? I THINK ONE OF THE CHALLENGES IS I BELIEVE THEY HAVE A NEW BUYER OF THE PROPERTY AND THEY DIDN'T.

THE LAYOUT ITSELF DIDN'T WORK VERY WELL FOR WHAT THEY WERE TRYING TO FIT ON THE SITE.

RIGHT. SO THE ADDITIONAL PUMPS OF COURSE, IN THE LANE NECESSITATED THOSE CHANGES BASED ON THE THINGS THEY WANTED TO DO.

CORRECT. GOTCHA. OKAY.

QUESTIONS FOR STAFF FROM COUNCIL.

MISS BUHLER.

DO YOU HAVE ANY MORE INFORMATION ON WHAT? THE TWO DRIVE THRU LANES WOULD BE USED FOR.

AS NOTED, USERS AS NOTED ON THE SITE PLAN AND THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

THEY HAVE NOTED THAT IT WOULD BE A SONIC DRIVE THRU, BUT UNTIL THEY COME FORWARD WITH A TENANT FINISH OUT THAT WOULD.

THAT'S TO BE DETERMINED.

OKAY. THANK YOU, MR. PRESTENBERG. YES.

THANKS, MATT, FOR THE PRESENTATION.

SO WITH THE PLOT BEING A LITTLE BIT LARGER, I'M ASSUMING THEY ALREADY OWN THAT LAND, RIGHT? IT'S PART OF A LARGER TRACT THAT IS BEING PRELIMINARY PLATTED.

SO IT WILL BE SOLD OFF.

SO, MATT, COULD YOU PUT THAT OTHER THE LANDSLIDE UP? SO JUST. THANK YOU.

YEAH. OKAY. SO NOW AS WE APPROACH GOING, I GUESS EAST, IF THIS IS SITUATED NORTH AND GETS CLOSER TO THOSE CONDOS OVER THERE OR THE.

YES. THANK YOU.

IS THERE ANY CONCERN WITH NOW WE'RE ENCROACHING INTO THAT AREA WITH GAS AND I KNOW WE HAVE IT IN WOODBRIDGE AS THE ENTRY OR, YOU KNOW, 7-ELEVEN IS RIGHT AND THERE IS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT, YOU KNOW, WHERE THE.

BLUEBERRY FIELD IS.

BUT BEFORE YOU GET TO THE HOMES, I JUST I CAN'T ENVISION HOW BIG THIS IS.

YOU KNOW, THE DISTANCE.

SO THE AREA TO THE EAST OF THIS GAS STATION THERE IS PLANNED FOR MORE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT ALONG THERE.

THEY HAVE INTIMATED THAT IT WOULD BE A COMMERCIAL STRIP CENTER OF SOME SORT, BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY PLANS AT THIS POINT IN TIME TO DEVELOP THAT.

SO THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST PHASES AND THEN AS ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT OCCURS IN THAT AREA, IT WILL FILL OUT THAT BLOCK AND THE GAS STATION ITSELF WILL ACTUALLY BE BLOCKED FROM VIEW FROM THE TOWNHOMES BY ANOTHER COMMERCIAL BUILDING AND WILL THERE BE PLANS ON? I CAN'T TELL FROM THE VERTICAL ANGLE OF THE PICTURE, BUT IS THERE A WALL OR ANYTHING THAT SEPARATES THE OPIOID WAY [INAUDIBLE] WAY? SORRY, MY EYES ARE REALLY BAD.

NOW, GIVEN THE TYPE OF DISTRICT THAT THE PGT IS, IT'S INTENDED FOR THIS TO BE MORE OF A WALKABLE AREA AND HAVE THE CROSS TRAFFIC.

SO THERE WILL BE SOME PROVISIONS RELATED TO, YOU KNOW, HAVING STREET TREES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT NOT A SCREEN WALL PER SE. OKAY.

SO THIS WILL GIVE A TOTAL OF TEN PUMPS AT THAT.

THAT'S CORRECT. ALL RIGHT AND THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF MERRITT.

HOW MANY PUMPS BALLPARK DO WE KNOW THERE? YOU KNOW, 12 TO THE 12.

I BELIEVE 7-ELEVEN HAS 10 TO 12.

YEAH. OKAY. SO WE'RE GOING FROM ZERO TO ABOUT 20, SO.

OKAY AND ONE THING I FAILED TO MENTION IS, SHOULD THE COUNCIL DECIDE NOT TO APPROVE THE SUP TONIGHT? THE SUP THAT IS ALREADY IN PLACE IS STILL ACTIVE, SO THE GAS STATION COULD STILL BE DEVELOPED UNDER THAT EXISTING SUP.

RIGHT. OKAY.

THANK YOU. MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKS.

SO THE PROPERTY TO THE WEST, OR THE REMAINDER OF THE PROPERTY TO THE WEST THAT ABUTS OPERA WAY.

NO SCREEN WALL IS NEEDED AT THIS TIME BECAUSE THERE IS ADDITIONAL AREA.

SO THE GAS STATION ITSELF WILL NOT PROVIDE A SCREEN WALL AND THEN TO THE EAST OF THAT IS AN ADDITIONAL COMMERCIAL LOT THAT WILL BE SOME SORT OF COMMERCIAL BUILDING AS PART OF THE ZONING DISTRICT.

THERE IS NO REQUIRED SCREENING WALL BETWEEN THESE.

THERE IS NOT. OKAY. THANKS.

[01:00:01]

MISS MILLSAP.

AS WE'RE GOING FROM CURRENTLY EIGHT PUMPS TO TEN.

THAT'S A 25% INCREASE IN PUMPS.

ARE WE GOING TO EXPECT 25% PERCENT INCREASE IN TRAFFIC IN THAT AREA TO FURTHER EXACERBATE THE CONGESTION? OR HAVE THAT EVER BEEN DISCUSSED OR CONSIDERED? GENERALLY, WITH THE NUMBER OF PUMPS THAT ARE ALREADY THERE, AND GIVEN THE LOCATION OF THIS GAS STATION, I WOULD NOT RECKON THAT THIS WOULD BE AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF TRIPS THAT WOULD BE PURPOSELY GOING OUT TO THIS LOCATION AND SAY, YOU'RE ALREADY AT A HARD CORNER OF AN EXIT FROM A FREEWAY AND THEN A ARTERIAL ARTERIAL ROADWAY IN MERRITT.

SO IT WOULD BE NEGLIGIBLE AT BEST.

OKAY. YOU MENTIONED ALSO THAT YOU THINK THAT THE CURRENT OWNER MAY HAVE A BUYER.

DO YOU KNOW WHETHER THIS REQUEST AND CHANGE IS BROUGHT ON BY THE POTENTIAL BUYER, OR DOES THIS REQUEST JUST TO HELP MAKE IT MORE MARKETABLE? OR DO WE KNOW FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY UNDER ONE OWNERSHIP, BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THERE WOULD BE A FUTURE BUYER OF THIS PROPERTY AND THAT WOULD BE CONTINGENT UPON THIS GOING THROUGH.

THE APPLICANT IS HERE TONIGHT.

IF YOU HAVE IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

NO, I'M JUST CURIOUS.

ANYONE ELSE ON COUNCIL HAVE QUESTIONS FOR STAFF.

THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

SO THANK YOU. MR. ROBINSON.

THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

I NOW DECLARE THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN.

THE TIME IS LOUIS 7:33PM.

PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN AT 7:33PM AND I DID HAVE A CARD FROM MISS LINDA CRANK.

SO NOW YOU CAN COME ON UP AND.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCILMAN.

AGAIN. LINDA CRANK, IF YOU COULD.

JUST A LITTLE TOO SHORT, RIGHT? WELL, THOSE ARE YOUR WORDS.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE HEIGHT CHALLENGED HERE, BUT A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS AND ALSO WILL CONCUR WITH COUNCILMAN MILLSAP'S QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS.

IS THERE A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE ADDITIONAL PUMPS? ARE THEY NEEDED? WHAT ARE THE PROJECTIONS FOR THE ELECTRIC HYBRID CARS VERSUS THE GAS? IS THERE A NEED FOR THE NOW GOING UP TO BETWEEN THE TWO GAS STATIONS? WILL THIS REQUIRE ADDITIONAL TANK CAPACITY? WILL THIS WHAT IS THE IMPACT TO THE AMBIENT AIR LEVELS FOR THE BENZENE AND BTEX CARCINOGENS THAT WILL COME ABOUT? HAVE MODIFICATION PLANS BEEN SET WITH THE STATE OF TEXAS.

WHAT IS THE ANTICIPATED ADDITION? VEHICULAR TRAFFIC AND I'M NOT SURE THAT.

WOULD THAT BE A DRAW TO THE MERRITT? HOW DOES THAT IMPACT WHEN MERRITT.

GOES UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND WE HAVE THE CHALLENGES WE ALREADY HAVE.

DOWN MERRITT AND HEADED TO THE GAS STATIONS.

HAVE YOU REVIEWED AND RECEIVED OR RECEIVED AND REVIEWED THE COMPANY'S RISK ASSESSMENT REGARDING POTENTIAL IMPACT TO THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT, GROUNDWATER, HUMAN HEALTH, AND FROM VAPOR EXTRACTION, ETC.? LOOKING TO THE FUTURE, WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR TANK REPLACEMENT? THE AVERAGE REMEDIATION OR THE AVERAGE TANKS ARE 20 YEARS AND SO WHILE THAT LOOKS TO THE FUTURE, HOW ARE YOU LOOKING TO HANDLE ANY REMEDIATION EFFORTS? BECAUSE YOU'LL MAKE THIS GROUND FALLOW FROM A BROWNFIELD REMEDIATION EFFORT.

WHAT IS THE SUPPORT THE PLAN TO SUPPORT SURROUNDING HOUSING AND DWELLING SHOULD THAT IMPACT THAT OCCUR.

WHAT ARE THE ADDITIONAL REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS THAT WILL BE INCORPORATED? WHAT IS THE COMPANY'S SPECIFIC PLAN OR RECORD FOR ANY BROWNFIELD REMEDIATION EFFORTS? AND DO THE ADDITIONAL TANKS MERIT? ARE THEY WORTH THE ELEVATED HEALTH RISKS TO THE RESIDENTS IN THE SURROUNDING AREA? WITH THE CHANGES IN LIFESTYLE AND SEPARATE QUESTION, HOW DO OUR PLANNING AND ZONING RULES SUPPORT THE RESIDENTS OF SACHSE FROM GAS STATIONS SPECIFICALLY? MY QUESTIONS ARE REALLY ALLOCATED TO THE PUMPS AND ADDITIONS.

SO HOW DO OUR PLANS PROTECT THE RESIDENTS? AND THEN FINALLY, AS A RESIDENT, I DON'T SEE THE ADDITIONAL RISK ARE OUTWEIGHED BY ADDING THE TWO PUMPS.

THERE SEEMS TO BE SUBSTANTIAL RISK AND SO I RECOMMEND OR I WOULD URGE COUNCIL TO VOTE AGAINST THE ADDITION OF THE TWO PUMPS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS CRANK.

ANYTHING YOU WANT TO.

[01:05:03]

ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS ITEM THROUGH THIS PUBLIC HEARING? OKAY. SEEING NONE, I DECLARE THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED.

THE TIME IS 7:36PM.

7:36PM THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED.

OKAY. MISS NASH MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I THINK SEVERAL OF THE QUESTIONS THAT SHE'S ASKING, I DON'T KNOW THAT THOSE COULD BE SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSED THIS EVENING.

MATT, IF YOU HAVE SOME OF THOSE, YOU CAN CERTAINLY.

I THINK SOME OF THEM ARE A LITTLE BIT OF WE WOULD BE GUESSING DEPENDING ON, YOU KNOW, THE USER AND WHAT ENDS UP HAPPENING.

SO IN MY APOLOGIES AHEAD OF TIME, MISS CRANK, IF I DON'T SUMMARIZE THEM CORRECTLY BUT THE MAIN TAKEAWAY AND MISS CRANK HAD A LOT OF SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS.

THAT'S THE WAY I TOOK IT.

SO MY QUESTION WOULD BE, WHAT HAVE WE LOOKED AT OR WHAT'S REQUIRED TO BE LOOKED AT FROM AN ENVIRONMENTAL STANDPOINT FOR THESE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENTS? SO WE HAVE ORDINANCES IN PLACE THAT WE TAKE A LOOK AT WHEN WE'RE EVALUATING REQUESTS AS THEY COME IN.

ONE THING TO REMIND EVERYONE OF THIS IS AN SUP AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

SO WE HAVE NOT GONE THROUGH THE COMPLETE CIVIL SITE PLAN PROCESS ON THIS.

SO THERE WILL BE OTHER COMPONENTS RELATED TO THE REVIEW OF THIS PROJECT.

THIS IS THE FIRST STEP IN A SERIES OF STEPS FOR THE PROJECT ITSELF.

AS FAR AS SOME OF THE HEALTH RELATED QUESTIONS OR SOME OF THE LIFETIME SPAN OF REPLACING OF THE FUEL TANKS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

THE APPLICANT IS HERE AND CAN PROBABLY ANSWER SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONS.

SO I WOULD SAY WE WANT TO TURN IT OVER TO THE APPLICANT TO MAYBE ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE CONCERNS.

I THINK THAT WOULD.

WELL, AND WE MAY DO THAT, BUT LET ME JUST FOLLOW UP WITH WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

SO YOU'RE CORRECT THAT MOST OF THE ZONING CASES WE SEE, IT'S THE FIRST STEP IN THE PROCESS.

SO SOME OF THOSE THINGS, POTENTIAL MITIGATIONS AREN'T GOING TO BE TAKEN INTO TASK UNLESS THEY ACTUALLY GET APPROVAL AND AGAIN, AS MISS NASH NOTED, OR ACTUALLY, YOU MAY KNOW THIS, MR. ROBINSON, THAT WE HAVE AN APPROVED ALREADY FOR THE PREVIOUS DESIGN.

THAT'S CORRECT. SO THAT'S NUMBER ONE.

NUMBER TWO IS THAT IF THE COUNCIL WERE TO AMEND THE SUP IN THIS CASE TO ADD TWO EXTRA PUMPS AND THE EXTRA DRIVE THRU LANE, THAT DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING IN THE SENSE THAT THE APPLICANT WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH, WHETHER IT'S BROWNFIELD OR ANYTHING ELSE.

IF THOSE ENVIRONMENTAL AGAIN, AS A SUMMARY, I WOULD SUMMARIZE THOSE AS ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS LAWS WE HAVE IN PLACE, QUITE FRANKLY, FOR ANY GAS STATION THAT HAS UNDERGROUND TANKS.

NONE OF THAT CAN HAPPEN WITHOUT THOSE APPROVALS.

IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.

THEY WOULD HAVE TO MEET ALL STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER WE GIVE THEM AN SUP OR NOT.

I SAY THAT JUST AS THE SUP IN PLACE ALREADY, BUT THAT WHETHER WE GIVE THEM ZONING OR NOT, THAT DOESN'T THAT WOULD NEVER CHANGE IN THE SENSE THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO COMPLY WITH ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS.

THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY.

THAT'S THE QUESTIONS I HAD, THE QUESTIONS THAT COUNCIL MIGHT HAVE.

MR. PRESTENBERG? YES. LOOKING AT THE OLD SCHEMATIC, I DO SEE A DRAWING ON HERE THAT LOOKS.

MAYBE I'M READING IT INCORRECTLY.

I DON'T KNOW, BUT IT DOES LOOK LIKE THERE ARE TWO ACTUAL IN-GROUND STORAGE CONTAINERS FOR THE GAS, RIGHT? ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, THOSE TWO PILL LOOKING THINGS ON THE RIGHT EDGE OF THE.

THAT'S CORRECT. ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, I DON'T SEE WHERE THEY'RE BEING STORED.

BUT NOT SUPER IMPORTANT.

BUT THE QUESTION WOULD BE, ARE YOU STILL PULLING FROM THE SAME AMOUNT OF SUPPLY? YOU JUST HAVE TEN PUMPS VERSUS EIGHT.

RIGHT. SO IF YOU HAVE 10,000 GALLONS UNDERGROUND AND THEY'RE GOING TO EXHAUST NOW IN FOUR DAYS INSTEAD OF SIX DAYS, RIGHT.

SO IT'S NOT NECESSARILY AN OPPORTUNITY OF MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR IT TO LEAK BECAUSE YOU'RE STILL STORING THE SAME AMOUNT.

NOW IF THERE WOULD BE CONCERN, LET'S SAY IT WAS GOING FROM A 10,000, WHICH I'M MAKING THIS UP, BUT A 10,000 GALLON STORAGE TANK TO A 50,000, THEN I WOULD PROBABLY HAVE SOME CONCERNS THAT SOME OF THE STUDIES THAT SHE HAD REQUESTED OR ASKED ABOUT WOULD BE WOULD MAKE A LOT OF SENSE, BUT FOR MAINTAINING THE SAME AMOUNT UNDERGROUND.

I DON'T SEE THE CONCERN OTHER THAN MAYBE JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE TRAFFIC OR WHATNOT, BUT I WOULD BE CURIOUS TO SEE, YOU KNOW, WHERE DO WE WHERE ARE THEY BEING STORED ON THIS LEFT SCHEMATIC? AND ARE THEY ROUGHLY THE SAME SIZE, YOU KNOW, BALLPARK, YOU KNOW, OKAY.

DO WE HAVE THAT OR.

I WOULD ACTUALLY TURN THAT OVER TO THE APPLICANT.

COME ON UP, SIR. YEAH.

IF YOU COULD JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE.

[01:10:02]

I'M A SONIC DRIVE-IN FRANCHISEE AND A GAS STATION OWNER AND YOUR RESIDENTS? CITY RESIDENTS.

ALLEN. THANK YOU.

MR. PRESTENBERG HAD A SPECIFIC QUESTION.

THE GAS TANK IS THE SAME.

IT'S ABOUT 30,000 GALLON DELIVERY.

USUALLY WE GET DELIVERY EVERY TWO DAYS.

MOST OF OUR GAS STATIONS HAS THE SIZE OF THE TANK AND WHEN YOU SAY ADDING A TWO PUMP.

WELL, ACTUALLY, WE'RE ADDING JUST ONE LANE, SO ONE PUMP IN EACH SIDE.

SO THE TOTAL LANE USED TO BE FOUR AND NOW IT'S FIVE.

SO IT'S ADDING JUST ONE LANE.

OKAY. OKAY.

SO THE FREQUENCY OF OR THE TANK THAT YOU'RE FILLING EVERY TWO DAYS IS NOT CHANGING.

NO. THE SIZE? NO.

OKAY. AND ARE WE GOING FROM? ARE WE. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS TWO IN THE PREVIOUS SCHEMATIC.

IS THERE GOING TO BE TWO IN THIS IN THE CURRENT ONE.

YEAH. LIKE YOU KNOW I HAVE SOME GAS STATIONS.

THEY HAVE EIGHT PUMPS AND THEY HAVE GAS STATIONS SOME TEN PUMPS.

GAS TANK IS THE SAME.

BUT DELIVERY CHANGE, IF WE RUN OUT WE GET DELIVERY LIKE SOME SOME GAS STATIONS GET DELIVERY ONCE A DAY.

SOME GAS STATIONS GETS EVERY THREE THREE DAYS.

TWO DAYS. RIGHT. OKAY.

YEAH. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SIZE OF THE TANK WAS NOT CHANGING.

NO. IT'S NOT. OKAY AND THEN IF I WOULD LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING, WE INCREASED THE SIZE OF THE LOT FROM 1.4 TO 1.7.

WE MIGHT AND WE STILL TALKING TO TESLA AND TALKING TO SHELL ITSELF TO ADD SUPERCHARGE FOR ELECTRIC CARS.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

BUT I INFER FROM THAT YOU DON'T HAVE THAT CURRENTLY.

SEE WHAT? WE CANNOT DO THAT UNTIL WE, LIKE, YOU KNOW, CLOSE ON THE LAND AND SEND THEM THE ACTUAL SITE PLAN AND THE PLANS.

GOTCHA. BUT IN MY OTHER GAS STATIONS, WE SIGNED A CONTRACT WITH TESLA.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO NEGOTIATE? YES. OKAY.

MR. MILLSAP. WITHOUT SPENDING A LOT OF TIME LOOKING AT THE CONTOUR LINES ON THIS.

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT SURFACE WATER RUNOFF GOING NORTH UP TO THAT SOIL CONSERVATION DAM.

IS THERE ANY POTENTIAL OF THAT? AS PART OF ANY SITE PLAN? REVIEW OF THIS.

WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT ALL THE DRAINAGE COMPONENTS OF THIS.

AS PART OF THE ARIA DEVELOPMENT ITSELF THEY HAVE PROVIDED DETENTION.

SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WILL LOOK AT FURTHER AS WE GET THROUGH THE SITE PLAN STAGE OF THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD BE ONE THING I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE REALLY GET CONCERNED ABOUT, BECAUSE THAT'S THE LAST THING WE WANT TO DO, IS KNOWINGLY ALLOW WATER RUN IN THAT DIRECTION TO GET INTO THAT SOIL CONSERVATION FLOODPLAIN.

WE WOULD BE IN REAL TROUBLE.

MISS BUEHLER.

JUST FROM A LAYOUT STANDPOINT, I THINK THE NEW DESIGN LOOKS A LOT BETTER FOR TRAFFIC FLOW.

IT LOOKS LIKE CARS WON'T BE TRAPPED THERE IN THE BACK CORNER AS MUCH.

SO I THINK THE NEW LAYOUT LOOKS GOOD.

OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU.

AGAIN, MR. ROBERTSON, JUST A COUPLE OF QUICK CLARIFICATIONS.

AGAIN, AS YOU MENTIONED BEFORE, WE DO HAVE A CURRENT SUP.

SO THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE HERE.

IT IS THE I WOULD CALL IT THE EXPANSION.

ALSO, YOU SAID THIS IS THE FIRST STEP IN THE PROCESS.

IF THE COUNCIL SO DESIRES TO CHANGE THE SUP AND TO MR. PRESTENBERG AND MR. MILLSAP POINTS THROUGH THE SITE PLAN PROCESS, I GATHER THAT MOST OF THE QUESTIONS BETWEEN COUNCIL AND WILL BE ADDRESSED THROUGH THE SITE PLAN PROCESS, AND ALL APPROVALS WILL HAVE TO BE MET PRIOR TO ANY BASICALLY ANY CONSTRUCTION OF ANY CONSEQUENCE.

CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.

THEY WILL DO DRAINAGE PLANS.

THEY'LL HAVE ALL SORTS OF CIVIL DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THIS.

SO WE WILL REVIEW ALL THOSE DOCUMENTS AT THAT POINT IN TIME.

BUT AS YOU SAID, MR. MAYOR, THIS IS THE FIRST STEP AND YOU KNOW, IF THIS IS APPROVED, THEN WE WILL LOOK AT IT FROM THE NEW SUP.

IF IT IS NOT, THEN IF THE APPLICANT DESIRES TO GO FORWARD WITH THE PREVIOUS APPROVED SUP, THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD BE REVIEWING AT THAT POINT IN TIME AND AS WITH ANY DEVELOPMENT THAT REQUIRES A PERMIT WHAT'S PUBLIC INFORMATION THROUGH THE PROCESS IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE FOR ANYBODY TO INSPECT.

THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. THANK YOU.

OKAY. OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL.

IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN MOTIONS.

MR. PRESTENBERG.

YES. I'D LIKE TO APPROVE ITEM F7 AS PRESENTED.

[01:15:04]

DO I HAVE A SECOND? MISS BUHLER SECOND.

SECOND BY MISS BUHLER. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE. PLEASE CAST YOUR BALLOT.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM EIGHT.

[8. Consider and approve a resolution of the City of Sachse, Dallas County, Texas, setting a date for a public hearing to discuss and review updates to the City's Land Use Assumptions, Capital Improvement Plan and Impact Fees; and to approve any amendments to the Land Use Assumptions, Capital Improvements Plan and Impact Fees; and providing an effective date.]

SETTING A DATE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING TO DISCUSS AND REVIEW UPDATES TO THE CITY'S LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN AND IMPACT FEES, AND TO APPROVE ANY AMENDMENTS TO THE LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANS AND IMPACT FEES AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

MISS NASH? MAYOR AND COUNCIL TONIGHT.

WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY ASKING FOR ON THIS ITEM IS TO BE ABLE TO SET A DATE FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING, FOR THE ADOPTION OF OUR REVISED IMPACT FEES. AND SO WHAT WE'VE DONE THIS ACTUALLY WENT THROUGH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION THROUGH TWO DIFFERENT MEETINGS WITH LOTS OF QUESTIONS, AND ULTIMATELY WAS APPROVED AT THEIR LAST MEETING.

BUT AS PART OF THIS PROCESS, THE CITY COUNCIL WILL NEED TO SET A PUBLIC HEARING DATE FOR NOVEMBER THE 4TH AND WE DID INCLUDE ALL OF THE MATERIALS THAT WERE PRESENTED AT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FOR YOU ALL TO BE ABLE TO REVIEW OVER THE NEXT MONTH, SO YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THAT AND THE STAFF ASKS THAT WE GET ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

AS YOU LOOK AT THIS OVER THE NEXT MONTH BEFORE THE END OF OCTOBER SO THAT WE CAN INCLUDE THOSE WITHIN THE DOCUMENT BEFORE IT IS PRESENTED TO YOU OFFICIALLY WITH THE PUBLIC HEARING ON NOVEMBER 4TH.

SO REALLY, AGAIN, THE ACTION TONIGHT SPECIFICALLY IS FOR YOU ALL TO SET THE DATE FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR NOVEMBER 4TH.

THANK YOU, MISS NASH.

JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, IS THE NOVEMBER 4TH I TURNED YOU OFF? IS THE NOVEMBER 4TH DATE ANY KIND OF HARD DATE? YES IT IS. OKAY, YES IT IS, BECAUSE IT IS THE REQUIRED TIME BETWEEN WHEN IT WENT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND THE TIME THAT IT NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED AND VOTED ON. SO THIS IS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF TIME THAT WE CAN GIVE IN BETWEEN BEFORE IT HAS TO COME BACK.

GOTCHA. OKAY. THANK YOU AND I WOULD JUST ADD, I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THE TIME YOU'RE GIVING US TO LOOK AT IT.

IMPACT FEES ARE UNFORTUNATELY NOT THE MOST SIMPLE THING TO LOOK AT, SO I DEFINITELY APPRECIATE THE EXTRA TIME TO LOOK AT IT.

THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM.

IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS ITEM? OKAY. HEARING NONE. ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL ON WHAT WE'RE DOING TONIGHT? ALL RIGHT. HEARING NONE I'LL ENTERTAIN MOTIONS AND I WOULD SAY YOU CAN DO AS PRESENTED SINCE THE DATE IS IN THE CAPTION. MISS HOWARTH, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM F EIGHT AS PRESENTED.

A MOTION BY MISS HOWARTH TO APPROVE ITEM F EIGHT AS PRESENTED.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? MR. MILLSAP SECOND.

SECOND. BY MR. MILLSAP.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE. PLEASE CAST YOUR BALLOT.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM NINE.

[9. Consider authorizing the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement for the design of the City of Sachse Service Center between the City of Sachse and Ron Hobbs Architects in the amount of Nine Hundred Seventy-Three Thousand One Hundred Dollars and No/100 Dollars ($937,100.00).]

MS. NASH.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL LOGAN IS TEEING THIS UP FOR ME SO I CAN DO THE PRESENTATION.

HOPEFULLY MY CLICKER WORKS.

AT LEAST YOU CAN POINT TO YOURSELF THIS TIME.

RIGHT [INAUDIBLE] LET ME GIVE IT A TRY HERE.

YEP. IT WORKS GREAT.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL, TONIGHT I WILL GIVE YOU ANOTHER PRESENTATION ON THE CONTINUING DISCUSSION ABOUT THE SERVICE CENTER FOR PARKS AND PUBLIC WORKS. SO TONIGHT I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT PLAN.

TALK SPECIFICALLY ABOUT RON HOBBS, WHO IS HERE IN THE AUDIENCE AND HIS REFERENCES AND WHY WE BELIEVE HE IS GOING TO BE THE BEST TO DO THIS DESIGN FOR US, SOME OF OUR SPECIFIC NEEDS, JUST THE OVERALL CURRENT CONSTRUCTION CLIMATE AND THINGS THAT WE ARE CONSIDERING TO MANAGE OUR COSTS THROUGH THIS THE FUNDING PLAN, JUST A REMINDER ON THAT AND A DESIGN TIMELINE POTENTIALLY AND THEN I'VE GOT SOME PICTURES OF SOME AREA SERVICE CENTERS AND RECENT ONES THAT WERE DONE WITH ASSOCIATED COSTS AND NEXT STEPS. SO JUST A REMINDER COUNCIL VOTED ON AUGUST 19TH TO ENGAGE WITH RON HOBBS ARCHITECTS TO BEGIN OUR

[01:20:09]

SO UPON COMPLETION OF THIS DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PLAN SPECIFICATION, WE WOULD THEN WORK SPECIFICALLY WITH RON TO DEVELOP A PROPOSAL FOR A CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK OR CMAR. SO THIS WOULD BE THE SAME PROCESS THAT WE USED RECENTLY TO COMPLETE THE FORTHCOMING ANIMAL SHELTER THAT WILL BE OPEN IN ABOUT SIX WEEKS.

SO RON HOBBS HAS BEEN IN THE BUSINESS FOR ABOUT 48 YEARS.

HE STARTED WHEN HE WAS TWO YEARS OLD, FOR 48 YEARS.

AND HE REALLY DOES PROVIDE A COMPLETE RANGE OF SERVICES ARCHITECTURAL, INTERIOR DESIGN, MASTER PLANNING SERVICES, BUT SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED ON MUNICIPAL AND GOVERNMENT CLIENTS AND HE HAS WORKED WITH 70 OTHER CITIES AND ON OVER 300 PROJECTS, WITH 31 OF THEM SPECIFICALLY BEING PUBLIC WORKS SERVICE CENTERS.

SO YOU CAN SEE HERE RON HAS DONE A VARIETY OF WORK AND YOU'VE ANYBODY WHO'S IN THE METROPLEX BEEN IN THE METROPLEX AT ALL, YOU HAVE SEEN HIS WORK EVERYWHERE.

THE TOWN OF FAIRVIEW CITY HALL, A LOT OF THE BUILDINGS THAT YOU'LL SEE AT THE CITY OF HURST, THE CITY OF GARLAND POLICE AND COURTS, FACILITIES, CIVIC CENTERS, FIRE STATIONS, REC AND COMMUNITY CENTERS, CONFERENCE CENTERS, ANIMAL SHELTERS, PAVILIONS AND PARK BUILDINGS, AMPHITHEATERS, LIBRARIES AND AQUATIC FACILITIES.

THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.

BUT HE HAS CERTAINLY LEFT HIS MARK IN THE DALLAS FORT WORTH AREA FOR ALL THE PROJECTS THAT HE'S WORKED ON IN HIS 48 YEARS, AND THOSE PROJECTS HAVE RANGED ANYWHERE BETWEEN $50,000 TO $26 MILLION.

SO HE'S DONE THEM ALL IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES.

SO TYPICALLY SERVICE CENTER NEEDS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THESE BEFORE.

SO YOU CAN KIND OF TAKE A LOOK AT THE LIST HERE.

BUT THIS IS ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

NOTHING SUPER FANCY.

WE JUST NEED SOME GOOD OFFICES ROOMS BREAK ROOMS. OF COURSE WE NEED PROTECTION FOR OUR SCADA SYSTEMS, FOR OUR WATER.

STORAGE SPACE, TOILETS, LOCKER ROOMS, SHOWERS, ALL OF THE THINGS THAT YOU WOULD NEED FOR A TYPICAL SERVICE CENTER.

IN OUR SERVICE CENTER, WE HAVE HAD SOME PRELIMINARY CONVERSATIONS WITH RON HOBBS TEAM TO TALK SPECIFICALLY THAT WHAT WE WANT IS ADEQUATE AND SAFE WORKING CONDITIONS FOR OUR EMPLOYEES AND FOR OUR EQUIPMENT AND VEHICLES AND STORAGE OF OUR MATERIALS.

GOOD SECURITY AND MONITORING AND THE ESSENTIAL SPACES THAT WE NEED FOR ALL OF THE TYPES OF THINGS THAT WE DO.

WE WOULD LIKE TO ALSO RELOCATE FACILITIES MAINTENANCE FROM THE SECOND FLOOR HERE AT CITY HALL DOWN TO THAT SPACE AS WELL.

SO WE HAVE ALL OF OUR MAINTENANCE EMPLOYEES ALL WORKING TOGETHER WITHIN THE SAME FACILITY, AND THEN A FUELING STATION AND HOPEFULLY HOPEFULLY FUELING STATION AND AN EMERGENCY GENERATOR.

BUT AGAIN, STAY SAFE WORK ENVIRONMENT THAT MEETS THE NEEDS OF THE CREWS.

BUT WE WANT IT TO MAINTAIN CERTAINLY BE COST EFFECTIVE AND COST EFFICIENT FOR THE CITY.

SO THE CURRENT CONSTRUCTION CLIMATE, WE CERTAINLY TALK ABOUT THAT A LOT AROUND HERE, BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND PRODUCTS.

THEY'RE INCREASING ABOUT A HALF PERCENT EVERY MONTH PLUS OR MINUS.

MATERIAL AVAILABILITY CERTAINLY CHANGES CONSTANTLY DUE TO THOSE SHORTAGES AND DELAYS OF ALL THE CONSTRUCTION IN THE DFW AREA AND IT CAN EXTEND CONSTRUCTION TIME AS PROJECTS WAIT FOR MATERIALS, BUT RON AND HIS TEAM HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MINDFUL OF THESE ISSUES AS WE'VE WORKED ON PROJECTS OVER THE YEARS, AND THEY WILL KEEP THOSE IN MIND DURING THE DESIGN PROCESS, AND THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE CMAR METHODOLOGY.

THAT'S WHAT, AGAIN, WAS USED WITH THE ANIMAL SHELTER, AND IT REALLY IS A GOOD WAY TO HELP CONTROL COSTS.

SO OTHER THINGS, JUST SO YOU ARE AWARE THAT WE HAVE HAD A LONG, CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HOW WE MANAGE COSTS, BUT THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE WAYS THAT WE COULD DO THAT. CERTAINLY SHARED SPACES AND FUNCTIONS WHEREVER IT'S POSSIBLE, MATCHING THE DESIGN TO THE BUILDING SYSTEMS SELECTED, AVOIDING FORCING A SPACE TO DO SOMETHING THAT'S NOT INTENDED TO DO.

SIMPLE BUILDING SHAPES VALUE ENGINEERING.

DURING THE EARLY PHASES OF WORK, ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU'VE SEEN US DO ON THE OTHER BUILDINGS THAT WE'VE BUILT JUST IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, DURABLE MATERIALS BECAUSE WE WANT TO REDUCE OUR MAINTENANCE EXPENSES, MINIMIZING THE NUMBER OF DIFFERENT MATERIALS AND CERTAINLY INCLUDING ANY BID ALTERNATES THAT WE CAN IN THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS TO PROVIDE US SOME FLEXIBILITY AND OPTIONS AND AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THROUGHOUT THIS, WHEN WE'VE BEEN PLANNING PROJECT PHASING AND HOW WE COULD POTENTIALLY DO THAT, TO BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THIS IN A WAY THAT IS COST EFFECTIVE FOR THE CITY.

SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR PROJECT PHASING OPTIONS, THAT ARROW KIND OF SHOWS WHERE WE ARE AND WILL WHERE WE ARE RIGHT AT THE MOMENT.

WE NEED TO DETERMINE THE TYPES, NUMBER AND SIZES OF SPACES AND REALLY BUILD THAT PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATE ON A COST PER SQUARE FOOT BASED ON THAT PRELIMINARY PROGRAM.

[01:25:02]

THEN MOVING INTO DESIGN DEVELOPMENT SO WE CAN GET EVERYTHING IN MORE DETAIL WITH SOME ENGINEERING DRAWINGS.

AGAIN, ANOTHER MORE DETAILED UPDATED COST ESTIMATE AND THEN FINALLY CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS, SO WE CAN PREPARE THOSE DRAWINGS AND SPECS TO GO TO BID, PERMIT AND ULTIMATELY CONSTRUCT THE PROJECT AND AGAIN, ALWAYS WORKING THROUGH THIS, YOU'LL SEE ALWAYS WORKING ON THOSE COST ESTIMATES.

IT'S WHAT WE DID WITH THE MICHAEL J.

FELIX COMMUNITY CENTER, AND CERTAINLY WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING WITH THE ANIMAL SHELTER AS WE'VE BEEN GOING AND THEN GOING THROUGH BIDDING AND FINALLY CONSTRUCTION.

SO AT YOUR JULY 29TH BUDGET WORKSHOP, WE TALKED TO THE COUNCIL ABOUT WHAT WE WOULD DO RELATIVE TO FUNDING FOR THE SERVICE CENTER.

SO FIRST WE CAME TO YOU WITH A DESIGN PROPOSAL FOR THIS FACILITY USING EXISTING FUNDS, WHICH IS WHAT WE'LL BE ASKING FOR APPROVAL TONIGHT, AND WE'D BE USING UNRESERVED FUND BALANCE FOR THAT AND THEN WE WOULD CONTINUE TO WORK WITH OUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR TO PLAN FOR ANY FUTURE POTENTIAL DEBT ISSUANCE FOR THIS PROJECT, IF THAT IS THE WAY YOU WANT IT TO GO, OR IF WE WANTED TO USE SOME OF OUR EXISTING REVENUE SOURCES THAT WE ALREADY CURRENTLY HAVE, AND THEN BEING ABLE TO RETURN TO THE COUNCIL FOR BUILDING OPTIONS, TALKING ABOUT A DEBT ISSUANCE, WHETHER THAT IS SOMETHING SHORT TERM, LIKE THE TAX INSTRUMENTS YOU SELL WE DID TONIGHT, OR SOMETHING A LITTLE LONGER TERM WHERE IT WOULD BE A GEO ISSUANCE OR AS I SAID, WORKING WITHIN SOME OF OUR EXISTING REVENUE SOURCES TO COME UP WITH A CREATIVE PLAN.

IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 12 MONTHS TO DESIGN THIS PROJECT.

WE WOULD WORK IN CONSULTATION WITH THE ARCHITECTS AND THEN, OF COURSE, PHASING OF THE ARCHITECTURAL AND THE CIVIL PROGRAMING AND THEN DEVELOPING THOSE CONSTRUCTION COST ESTIMATES AND THEN ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT OF PLANS AND CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS AFTER THAT WOULD TAKE ABOUT THREE MONTHS OF PHASING AND SEQUENCING, AND THEN A SPECIFIC COST BREAKDOWN ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, ANOTHER 3 TO 6 MONTHS FOR BIDDING AND 12 TO 18 MONTHS FOR CONSTRUCTION.

SO WHEN YOU ADD ALL OF THOSE MONTHS UP, IT'S A FEW YEARS BEFORE WE COULD ACTUALLY HAVE A SERVICE CENTER.

SO WE WANT TO GET STARTED ON THAT DESIGN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO WE CAN COME UP WITH ALL OF OUR OPTIONS.

JUST SOME PICTURES OF SOME RECENT SERVICE CENTERS THAT HAVE BEEN BUILT IN THE AREA.

SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THIS IS A PRETTY BASIC STRUCTURE DOWN IN BURLESON.

THIS IS THEIR PARK SERVICE CENTER WAS 9360FT², ABOUT $432 PER SQUARE FOOT.

AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE HERE THERE'S NOT A LOT OF BELLS AND WHISTLES HERE.

THERE'S WINDOWS, THERE'S WALLS, THERE'S LIGHTS, THERE'S A FLOOR.

BUT IT'S A PRETTY BASIC CENTER.

JUST MAKING SURE THAT WE CAN PUT ALL THE EQUIPMENT IN THAT WE NEED AND THAT IS A GOOD AND DURABLE BUILDING AND YOU CAN SEE THERE THE FLOORING, THE TYPE OF FLOORING THAT YOU WOULD USE FOR A FACILITY LIKE THIS YOU KNOW, THINGS AGAIN, MORE DURABLE.

CLASSROOM SPACE OR POTENTIALLY IT COULD BE USED FOR CLASSES.

IT COULD BE USED AS A BREAK ROOM.

AGAIN, MAKING THESE SPACES HAVE AS MUCH MULTIFUNCTIONALITY AS POSSIBLE.

THE MANSFIELD SERVICE CENTER IS ABOUT 33,000FT², AT ABOUT $450 PER SQUARE FOOT, AND THE CHANDLER SERVICE CENTER, 8900FT², AT ABOUT $386 PER SQUARE FOOT AND IT'S A PRETTY BASIC BUILDING RIGHT THERE AND THAT WOULD BE THE CHANDLER JUST WEST OF TYLER. YES, SIR.

OKAY. JUST CHECKING. OKAY AND SO WHAT STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THAT YOU ALL AUTHORIZE ME TO EXECUTE A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR THE DESIGN OF THIS PROJECT WITH RON HOBBS ARCHITECTS IN THE AMOUNT OF $937,100 AND THEN ONCE THAT'S APPROVED, DESIGN WORK WOULD COMMENCE AND STAFF WOULD PROVIDE UPDATES TO THE CITY COUNCIL. SO YOU CAN SEE HERE ON THIS NEXT STEP SLIDE, WE WOULD IF THIS IS APPROVED, WE WOULD HAVE A KICKOFF AND A PRE-DESIGN THIS FALL.

THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN WOULD BE TOWARDS THE END OF THIS YEAR, BEGINNING OF 2025, AND WORK INTO THE SPRING WITH SOME DEVELOPMENT OF CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS THROUGH NEXT SUMMER AND FALL.

HOPEFULLY BIDDING LATE NEXT FALL, EARLY 2026, AND THEN REALLY START CONSTRUCTION COMPLETELY IN 2026.

SO AT THAT LAST BULLET, WHAT WE'RE SAYING HERE IS WE WOULD BE PROVIDING THE CITY COUNCIL WITH UPDATES THROUGH EVERY SINGLE STEP OF THE PROCESS BECAUSE AGAIN, WANTING FEEDBACK AND DIRECTION ON PHASING AND WHAT WE WOULD BE DOING SPECIFICALLY WITH THIS BUILDING, IT'S NOT QUITE AS STRAIGHTFORWARD AS ANIMAL SHELTER WAS.

WE KNEW SPECIFICALLY WHAT THAT PROGRAM WAS, A SMALL BUILDING, VERY SPECIFIC NEEDS AND THIS WE WILL HAVE SOME OPTIONS WITH AND WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THOSE, AS I

[01:30:01]

I GUESS I'D CALL HER AND THEY'RE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE SPECIFICALLY.

OR I CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO SAY AND I WAS NOT GOING TO AGREE WITH YOU.

SHE IS THE TRUE OPERATIONS, I WOULD ARGUE.

BUT ANYWAY, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO MR. HOBBS QUESTIONS FOR MISS NASH FROM COUNCIL.

MR. PRESTENBERG.

YES. HEY, GINA, ONE BASIC QUESTION.

FIRST IS WHEN YOU'RE DOING THE COST PER SQUARE FOOT ON THESE, IS IT IS THIS PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT? IS THAT ANY PART OF THAT COST PER SQUARE FOOT? NO. OKAY. I DIDN'T THINK SO.

I JUST WANTED TO IS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE BUILDING.

OKAY. JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I LIKE WHERE YOU'RE GOING.

SECOND, DID WE HAVE ANY SORT OF.

I MEAN, BECAUSE ALL 4 MILLION DOESN'T GET YOU WHAT YOU USED TO BE ABLE TO GET.

BUT DO WE HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT THIS WAS GOING TO RUN INITIALLY.

LIKE WHEN WE STARTED LOOKING AT THIS SEVERAL YEARS AGO, WE WERE HOPING THAT IT WOULD BE $4 MILLION.

THAT WAS BACK IN 2017.

OKAY AND TIMES HAVE CHANGED.

YEAH. SINCE THEN? CERTAINLY. COSTS HAVE.

OKAY. GROSSLY EXPONENTIATED IN OUR INITIAL DISCUSSIONS.

I KNOW WE'RE NOT TRYING TO PLAN THIS THING ALL AT ONCE OR LET THEM DO ALL THE WORK, BUT ARE WE ON OUR SUGGESTIONS? WE HAVE A PRETTY ROUGH ESTIMATE ON SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT IS GOING TO BE NEEDED FOR THIS FACILITY.

LIKE LOOKING AT THOSE THREE DESIGNS, I ONE OF THEM BEING IT ALMOST LOOKED TOO SIMPLISTIC.

ONE OF THEM LOOKED TOO OVERKILL FOR WHAT WE NEED.

BUT YOU KNOW, AS ALWAYS, THERE'S A HAPPY MEDIUM IN THE MIDDLE SOMEWHERE.

BUT SO WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT A PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR THIS, BUT WE HAD KIND OF HIT THE BRAKES ON THAT UNTIL THE CITY COUNCIL HAD HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO DECIDE IF YOU WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS AND SO WHAT WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO IS SHOW YOU A POTENTIAL WORK PROGRAM ONCE.

IF YOU DECIDE TO GO AHEAD AND HIRE RON THAT HE WOULD, WE WOULD GO BACK AND REALLY LOOK AT THAT PLAN AND DETERMINE IF THAT COULD BE AN OPTION ONE.

AND MAYBE THERE'S AN OPTION TWO.

THERE COULD BE MORE AND COMING BACK AND SAYING, THESE ARE THE ELEMENTS WE THINK ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT IN THIS BUILDING, AND THEN HERE ARE THE THINGS THAT MAYBE COULD BE PHASED IN AND KIND OF HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH YOU ALL ONCE WE CAN ENGAGE HIM.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

MISS BUELLER.

GINA, CAN YOU REMIND US HOW WE GOT TO THE $937,000 DESIGN COST? IS THAT BASED ON A PERCENTAGE OF WHAT IT SHOULD BE OR BASED ON SQUARE FOOTAGE? LIKE, HOW DO WE GET TO THAT DESIGN COST? IT REALLY HAS TO DO WITH THE AMOUNT OF WORK AND THE WORK PROGRAM THAT HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO PUT TOGETHER IN TERMS OF THE TIME SPENT ON A PROJECT LIKE THIS AND THE SCOPE AND SO THAT'S BASICALLY HOW WE'VE DONE ALL OF OUR CONTRACTS WITH RON.

IT HAS TO DO WITH THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT HE KNOWS IT'S GOING TO TAKE TO BE ABLE TO WORK THE PROJECT ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO COMPLETION.

OKAY. MR. MILLSAP. KEEP THAT A LITTLE CLOSER.

YEAH, I'M TRYING TO GET IT HERE.

JUST A COUPLE OF COMMENTS.

LAST COUNCIL MEETING, COREY GAVE US A RUNDOWN, I THINK, ON SOME GENERAL COSTS FROM 3 TO $500 A SQUARE FOOT ON BUILDINGS AND I'VE HEARD COMMENTS SAYING WE'RE GOING TO NEED ABOUT 28,000FT WITH THAT TERM.

WELL, IF YOU TAKE $500 TIMES 28, THAT'S A BASE PRICE OF $14 MILLION JUST FOR THE BUILDING.

AND HERE'S ANOTHER MILLION DOLLARS STARTING OFF WITH SERVICES.

SO THAT'S $15 MILLION THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY DRIVEWAYS TO GET EMPLOYEES TO AND FROM THE STREET TO THE BUILDING, A PARKING LOT, UTILITIES.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT A PUSHING $20 MILLION UP FRONT TODAY AND I'M NOT NECESSARILY CONCERNED OR CONVINCED THAT THE TAXPAYERS YET ARE WILLING TO FOOT THE BILL FOR THAT, MUCH BASED ON WHAT WE'RE ALREADY DOING IN CONSTRUCTION COSTS AND I THINK WHAT OUR PREVIOUS SPEAKERS TALKED ABOUT, OUR BONDS AND RATINGS.

WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR WAYS TO SET OURSELVES UP FRONT FROM OTHER COMMUNITIES AND A GOOD MARKETABILITY AND I THINK ONE OF THE BEST THINGS WE COULD DO IS MAKE A

[01:35:02]

SO RIGHT NOW, UNTIL I GET MORE INFORMATION BASED ON IT, AND I'M NOT GOING TO SUPPORT ONE IF UNLESS WE'RE GOING TO DO WITH AN ELECTED BOND, GET OUR CITIZENS AND TAXPAYERS TO APPROVE A BOND TO PAY FOR IT, I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO GO IN AND SAY, WELL, WE KNOW MORE THAN YOU DO, SO WE'RE GOING TO PUT YOU IN DEBT, ANOTHER 15, $20 MILLION, AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY THE TAXES ON IT AND TO PAY FOR IT WITHOUT THEIR INPUT AND IF WE CAN GET THEIR INPUT, I'M NOT OPPOSED TO IT.

I'M DEFINITELY NOT OPPOSED TO RON DOING THE WORK, THAT'S FOR SURE.

BUT I JUST NOT SURE THAT THIS IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO EMBARK ON RIGHT NOW WITHOUT MORE INFORMATION.

MISS HOWARTH I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD ON.

I DO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE COST AND HOW WE CAN PAY FOR IT.

I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS RUNNING FOR CITY COUNCIL THE FIRST TIME IN 2018, I WAS POKING THROUGH ALL THE DOCUMENTS IN THE CITY, AND I FOUND A REPORT ABOUT THAT BUILDING THAT AN EVALUATION THAT HAD BEEN DONE, I THINK IN LIKE 2004 OR 2006, THAT BASICALLY SAID THE BUILDING HAD OUTLIVED ITS USEFUL LIFE AND WAS FALLING INTO DISREPAIR AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY AND THAT WAS ALMOST 20 YEARS AGO.

I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT EMPLOYEE SAFETY IN THAT BUILDING.

I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT PARKING, VERY EXPENSIVE PUBLIC WORKS EQUIPMENT OUT IN THE GRASS AND NOT HAVING A WAY TO SERVICE IT EASILY.

BUT I ALSO NEED TO.

I SEE A NEED AND A GREAT NEED, AND I'D LOVE TO SEE THE PUBLIC WORKS OR PARKS BUILDING ON 78 CLEARED AND PUT BACK ON TO AND SOLD FOR AN ACTUAL TAXABLE PURPOSE.

BUT WE NEED TO BALANCE THAT WITH COST AND HOW DO WE PAY FOR IT IN A REASONABLE WAY? AND I DO THINK WE'RE ALL FAIRLY AWARE OF THAT AND I THINK WE'VE ALL WERE KIND OF SHOCKED AT THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS THAT WERE TOSSING AROUND.

AND I THINK IF WE'RE VERY COGNIZANT OF THE HOW WE CAN EVENTUALLY GET TO WHAT WE NEED, I JUST I HAVE SOME I THINK WE NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL HERE. BUT I DO SEE THE NEED AND I HAVE GREAT CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT WE CURRENTLY ARE HAVING PEOPLE WORK IN DAY TO DAY, WITH WATER FLOODING IN AND CRACKS IN THE WALL AND CEILING TILES COMING DOWN, AND A BUILDING THAT WAS DECLARED BASICALLY UNSOUND ALMOST 20 YEARS AGO. MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKS.

SIMILAR COMMENTS I DON'T LIKE BONDS.

I DON'T LIKE GOING TO THE VOTERS AND SAYING, HEY, WE CAN'T.

WE NEED TO DO THIS. WE CAN'T AFFORD IT, SO WE NEED TO BORROW MONEY TO DO IT.

I THINK MOST PROJECTS, NO MATTER WHAT THE CITY, SCHOOL DISTRICT, WHATEVER, NEED TO BE BUDGETED.

I UNDERSTAND SOME THINGS CAN'T BE BUDGETED, BUT I THINK WE NEED TO DO OUR BEST TO DO IT.

THE AMOUNT TO DESIGN THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

THE AMOUNT TO BUILD THIS IS GOING TO BE RIDICULOUS.

BUT THAT'S WHAT EVERYTHING IS RIGHT NOW.

UNFORTUNATELY, EVERYTHING IS RIDICULOUS RIGHT NOW.

AS I'M SURE ANY OF YOU WILL GO FROM GOING TO THE GROCERY STORE TO BUYING A NEW CAR, EVERYTHING'S STUPID.

I WILL ECHO MISS HOWARTH'S COMMENTS.

WE NEED TO DO THIS TEN YEARS AGO.

WE NEED TO DO THIS FIVE YEARS AGO.

WE NEED TO DO THIS TWO YEARS AGO.

AND PROBABLY BEFORE SHE OR I WERE ON THIS COUNCIL.

SO THIS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S NOT A SACHSE PROJECT.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT THE PUBLIC AND THE VOTERS ARE GOING TO USE EVERY DAY AND SEE EVERY DAY.

BUT IT DOES PROTECT AND EXTEND THE LONGEVITY OF NOT ONLY THE EQUIPMENT, BUT THE EMPLOYEES.

THEY WILL BE IN A BETTER PLACE.

THEY WILL WORK IN A BETTER PLACE, WHICH MAKES BETTER, HAPPIER EMPLOYEES.

SO IT'S AN INVESTMENT NOT ONLY IN OUR EQUIPMENT BUT ALSO IN OUR EMPLOYEES.

OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL OR COMMENTS? I WOULD JUST ECHO MISS HOWARTH'S AND MAYOR PRO FRANKS AND EVEN MR. MILLSAP COMMENTS IN THE SENSE THAT IT'S A PROJECT THAT'S, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, AS MAYOR FRANK SAID, IT'S NOT SACHSE, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY VERY NECESSARY. MY THOUGHT BEHIND ALL THIS IS THAT I DON'T THINK ANYBODY WANTS TO SPEND $937,000 TO DESIGN IT, BUT THAT'S THE WAY IT WORKS AND MR. HOBBS HAS HAD A GREAT TRACK RECORD WITH THIS AND IN OTHER CITIES I WOULD ON A SIDE NOTE, MAYOR BILLINGS AND FATE ALWAYS GIVES ME A HARD TIME BECAUSE HE SAYS YOU'RE BUILDING OVER THERE IS BETTER THAN OURS AND SO WE ARGUE ABOUT THAT ALL THE TIME.

BUT YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT WE GOT AND IT GOES BACK TO THE WHOLE THING OF ONCE RON DOES HIS THING, WE ARE GOING TO KNOW, OR AT LEAST HAVE A MUCH

[01:40:07]

NOW, HAVING SAID THAT, WHETHER THAT'S 10 MILLION, 15 MILLION, 20 MILLION, WHATEVER IT IS, THEN MY QUESTION TO YOU, MS. NASH, AT THIS VERY MOMENT IS THAT I'M ASSUMING WHATEVER THAT NUMBER ULTIMATELY IS WILL HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT OPTIONS TO CONSIDER AT THAT POINT.

CORRECT? YES, SIR AND THAT'S PART OF, YOU KNOW, AS I TALKED ABOUT IN THIS IS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT CHECKPOINTS TO BE ABLE TO SAY, WHICH DIRECTION DO YOU WANT TO GO RELATIVE TO THE ACTUAL WORK PROGRAM? OF WHICH PARTS OF THE FACILITY YOU'D WANT TO DO IN CERTAIN PHASES AND WE'LL HAVE THOSE OPTIONS AS WE GO THROUGH AND LOOK AND SCOPE THIS IN A VERY BASIC SENSE.

WE'LL HAVE FUNDING OPTIONS.

OH, ABSOLUTELY. YEAH.

THAT'S REALLY WHAT I WAS GETTING AT.

YES. BECAUSE WHETHER IT'S TAX NOTES, GEO BONDS, CO BONDS, YOU KNOW, OR QUITE FRANKLY, A FUND BALANCE OR A COMBINATION THEREOF.

I MEAN, IT COULD BE AND YOU'LL HAVE SOME FLEXIBILITY BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, WITH WATER AND SEWER THINGS BEING HOUSED IN THIS BUILDING AND PEOPLE IN THIS BUILDING, WE ARE ABLE TO USE WATER AND SEWER FUNDS.

SO IT WOULD NOT JUST BE GENERAL FUND FUNDING FOR THIS PROJECT.

RIGHT AND I GUESS THE LAST THING I'LL SAY ABOUT THAT IS, AS FAR AS ANY POTENTIAL IMPACTS ON THE TAX RATE, BASED ON WHAT I'VE HEARD TONIGHT, THAT'S NOT A GIVEN AT ALL.

IT DEPENDS ON HOW WE FUND IT.

YES, SIR. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM.

IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, I'LL ENTERTAIN MORE QUESTIONS OR MOTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL.

MISS HOWARTH.

IF THERE'S NO COMMENTS, I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE ITEM F9 AS PRESENTED.

IT IS NUMBER NINE.

MOTION BY MISS HOWARTH TO PROVE OUT OF F NINE AS PRESENTED.

MR. PRESTENBERG. SECOND.

SECOND BY MR. PRESTENBERG.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE. PLEASE CAST YOUR BALLOT.

MOTION CARRIES.

MR. MILLSAP VOTING NO.

NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM TEN.

[10. Consider a resolution nominating a candidate to be a member of the Board of Directors of the Dallas Central Appraisal District.]

MISS NASH. MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

IT IS THAT TIME AGAIN FOR YOU TO MAKE YOUR NOMINATION FOR THE DALLAS CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

THE NEXT ONE WILL BE COLIN.

SO THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO NOMINATE SOMEONE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO, PUT THEM ON THE BALLOT TO BE VOTED ON BY ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE DALLAS CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

THANK YOU, MISS NASH. QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL.

MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKS.

WELL, I'VE DONE IT THE PREVIOUS THREE YEARS, I THINK.

IS THAT RIGHT? I BELIEVE THAT'S CORRECT, YES.

GONE TO A RUNOFF TWO OUT OF THREE YEARS.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING, I GUESS.

BUT I'D LIKE TO DO IT AGAIN.

UNLESS SOMEONE ELSE WANTS TO THROW THEIR NAME IN THE HAT, I WOULD CERTAINLY ENTERTAIN IT.

MR. PRESTENBERG. YEAH.

MY QUESTION WAS TO MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKS.

I KNOW YOU'VE DONE THIS OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS OR TRIED TO, AT LEAST IF YOU'RE INTERESTED.

IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE SO I WHETHER HE WAS OR NOT, YOU COULD STILL NOMINATE.

NO. YEAH.

I DON'T WANT TO NOMINATE SOMEONE WHO'S NOT INTERESTED.

RIGHT? HE IS INTERESTED.

THEN THAT WAS WHY I PRESSED THE BUTTON TO SEE IF HE WAS INTERESTED.

I DON'T KNOW. ARE YOU INTERESTED? SI. [INAUDIBLE].

THAT'S A DIFFERENT QUESTION.

OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL? WE DO HAVE A NOMINEE, APPARENTLY.

OR POTENTIALLY, I SHOULD SAY.

MISS HOWARD. IF THERE'S NO.

LET ME STOP YOU. YOU GOT TO ASK ANYBODY.

THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM, SO I NEED TO ASK IF ANYONE WANTS TO SPEAK ON IT.

OH, OKAY. GO AHEAD. ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? I DIDN'T THINK SO, BUT GO AHEAD.

OKAY. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO NOMINATE COUNCIL MEMBER OR MAYOR PRO TEM BRETT FRANKS TO PUT ON THE BALLOT FOR THE DALLAS CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

THANK YOU. MISS HOWARTH. HAVE A MOTION BY MISS HOWARTH.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? MISS BUHLER SECOND.

SECOND BY MISS BUHLER.

DOES EVERYONE QUESTIONS? DOES EVERYONE UNDERSTAND THE MOTION? MR. MAYOR, PRO TEM FRANKS UNDERSTAND THE MOTION.

OKAY WITH THAT? THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS.

PLEASE CAST YOUR BALLOT.

[01:45:18]

CORRECT? YES. IT TAKES A LITTLE LONGER.

OKAY. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

CONGRATULATIONS ON GETTING THIS FAR.

NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA AGENDA IS ITEM 11.

[11. Consider a resolution nominating candidate(s) to the Board of Directors of the Collin Central Appraisal District.]

MISS NASH MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT.

IT HAS CHANGED FROM YEARS PAST, SO THE PROCESS FOR ELECTING THE DISTRICT'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS CHANGED SLIGHTLY.

SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY COUNCIL NOMINATE UP TO FIVE BOARD CANDIDATES IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO.

BUT TO BE ELIGIBLE TO SERVE ON THE BOARD, THE INDIVIDUAL MUST BE A RESIDENT OF THE DISTRICT OR COLLIN COUNTY AND MUST HAVE RESIDED IN THE DISTRICT FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE THAT THEY TAKE OFFICE AND YOU CAN NOMINATE ANYWHERE FROM 0 TO 5 PEOPLE THIS EVENING.

YEAH. THANK YOU, MISS NASH.

QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL.

MISS HOWARTH. I'VE NEVER GOTTEN QUITE AS FAR AS COUNCIL MEMBER FRANKS TO A RUNOFF, BUT I'M WILLING TO DO IT AGAIN, AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IF IT'D BE A PRO OR A MINUS TO DO MORE THAN ONE, BUT IF LINDSEY WOULD LIKE TO OR COUNCIL MEMBER.

WELL, I WOULD LIKE TO.

YEAH, I WAS GOING TO SAY I DEFINITELY DON'T THINK THERE'S A CON TO DOING MORE THAN ONE.

WE LIKE MRS. NASH SAID. WE DO HAVE UP TO FIVE.

I THINK THE CHALLENGE IN GETTING THREE MORE IF MISS BUHLER IS INTERESTED IS YOU KNOW, NOMINATING SOMEONE THAT MAY NOT EVEN WANT TO RUN.

SO BUT I TURN IT OVER TO MISS BUHLER IF SHE WANTS TO COMMENT ON THAT TURN YOUR MIC ON.

THERE YOU GO. OH, I TURNED YOU ON, BUT GO AHEAD.

OKAY. IF IT WOULD BE ADVANTAGEOUS FOR SACHSE, I WILL PUT MY NAME IN.

OTHERWISE, I WILL HAPPILY SUPPORT MISS HOWARTH.

DIDN'T REALLY ANSWER THE QUESTION.

YES. THAT'S FINE.

ARE YOU INTERESTED? OKAY, FINE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE. OKAY.

SO, LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE FIVE SLOTS TO FILL IF WE JUST NOMINATE TWO.

THAT IS PERFECTLY OKAY.

SO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL? THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM.

SO ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS ITEM? SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR THESE GREAT TWO CANDIDATES.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

IF NOT MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKS.

IF THERE'S NO OTHER COMMENTS, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE NOMINATE MISS MICHELLE HOWARTH AND MISS LINDSEY BUHLER TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE COLLIN COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT. I HAVE MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKS TO NOMINATE MISS HOWARTH AND MISS BUHLER TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE COLLIN CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? MR. MILLSAP? I SECOND.

I HAVE A SECOND. BY MR. MILLSAP ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE.

PLEASE CAST YOUR BALLOT AND I'M ASSUMING SHE'LL HAVE TO TYPE THIS IN.

SO.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

AGAIN, CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH OF YOU FOR GETTING THIS FAR.

SO WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR WILLINGNESS TO SERVE.

I THINK MISS BUHLER SAID IT BEST.

IF IT'LL HELP SACHSE, THEN IT'S A GOOD THING, SO APPRECIATE THAT.
