NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM C.

PUBLIC COMMENT. THE PUBLIC IS INVITED TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL REGARDING ANY TOPIC NOT ALREADY ON THE AGENDA FOR ACTION OR PUBLIC HEARING.

[C. Public Comment]

ONLY ITEMS ON THE AGENDA MAY BE ADDRESSED DURING THIS PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION.

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 HAVE A COUPLE CARDS.

THE FIRST ONE, MARTY HOBOKE.

I'M GOOD. THANKS, SIR.

NEXT CARD I HAVE IS MISS JANE REID.

[00:05:06]

OKAY. OKAY. JUST A SECOND.

DON'T START MY TIME.

YEAH. WE'RE SECOND.

I HAVE A COUPLE.

WELL, I HAVE A.

OKAY. I HAVE REGARDING AGENDA ITEM E7 FOR PURCHASING THE TWO TAHOES.

I JUST HAD A QUESTION ON THE TAHOES THAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR THE MONEY, BUT THEY'RE NOT INCLUDING ON THIS AGENDA.

IT'S NOT REFERENCING SEEING THE UPLIFT CHARGES OF $43,000.

ON THE SUBJECT, AND I ALSO HAD A QUESTION GOING BACK TO THAT THERE WERE TWO TAHOES THAT WERE PAID FOR AND ON JUNE 28TH.

SO THAT IS FOUR TAHOES FOR THIS YEAR THAT'S BEING BOUGHT.

SO I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, I MEAN, WHEN LOOKING THROUGH THE BUDGET, THERE WAS ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE TWO TAHOES FOR THE POLICE AND ONE TAHOE FOR FIRE THE FIRE.

SO THAT'S THAT QUESTION.

AND THEN I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION.

I MEAN, OR JUST A COMMENT THAT IN FEBRUARY THERE WAS A CONTRACT AGREEMENT THAT WAS PRESENTED ON 2/5/24 FOR OVER 1.6 MILLION FOR CONCRETE SERVICES BY TWO DIFFERENT COMPANIES, MACMAHON, MACMAHON AND CSMG.

SO WHY IS THIS CITY STILL PAYING OTHER VENDORS FOR CONCRETE WORK? WHEN THE AGREEMENT WAS SIGNED IN FEBRUARY, LAST CHECKBOOK SUMMARY POSTED IS JUNE 24TH SACHSE.

BUT JULY, AUGUST SEPTEMBER IS NOT ON THERE.

BUT FOR EXAMPLE, JUNE 24TH REGISTER THERE'S BODEEN CONCRETE AND REYNOLDS ASPHALT WERE PAID FOR SERVICES.

AND ONE OF THE SERVICES THAT WAS PAID TO REYNOLDS WAS FOR 242,000.

SO IF YOU SIGN, I GUESS I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF THERE WAS A $1.6 MILLION AGREEMENT FOR THESE TWO CONCRETE COMPANIES. WHY ARE THEY WHY ARE Y'ALL OUTSOURCING MORE AND WHY ARE THE TWO BUSINESSES NOT DOING THE WORK? THAT'S IT.

OKAY. THANK YOU, MR. REED. ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL AT THIS TIME? OKAY. SEEING NONE, WE'LL MOVE ON.

NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM D.

HEY, CHIEF. I FIGURED THIS IS PROBABLY HAS TO DO WITH HOW THE BUDGET LIES, YOU KNOW, FROM THE YEAR STANDPOINT ENDING IN SEPTEMBER.

BUT I JUST CONSTITUENT CAME UP TO ASK A QUESTION.

I JUST WANT TO HAVE A CHANCE TO MAKE SURE IT WAS EXPLAINED.

ABSOLUTELY. AND YOU ARE CORRECT.

THESE FOUR IN TOTAL TAHOES WERE PURCHASED IN TWO DIFFERENT BUDGET YEARS.

SO WE THE ORIGINAL TAHOES THAT WE GOT THAT SHE'S SHOWING TO HAVE BEEN ANNOTATED ON THE LEDGER IN JUNE, WERE ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY US IN FEBRUARY.

AND SO THEY'RE AT THE UPFITTER, WHICH IS NOT THE SAME VENDOR AS THE DEALER THAT PROVIDES THE VEHICLES TO US.

SO THAT'S WHY THE TOTAL UPFITTING COST IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE OF THE TAHOES THEMSELVES.

OKAY. SO HAVE WE, SO WE RECEIVED THE ONES THAT WE PURCHASED EARLIER THIS YEAR, THREE MONTHS BEFORE WE PURCHASED THEM.

RIGHT. HAVE WE ALREADY TAKEN OWNERSHIP OF THE TWO THAT WE'RE PURCHASING NOW OR.

YES. YES WE HAVE THEY'RE WE EXPECT TO GET THEM BACK FROM THE FITTERS THIS WEEK AS A MATTER OF FACT, AND PUT THEM IN SERVICE.

OKAY. I THINK IT MADE SENSE TO ME.

AND I THINK MOST OF US UP HERE WHO LOOK AT THE BUDGET, BUT SOMEONE LOOKING AT IT AS A ONE OFF THING LIKE, WELL, WHY ARE WE BUYING 4 IN 1 CALENDAR YEAR WHEN WE ONLY HAD TWO PLANNED? I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY.

THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU CHIEF.

I APPRECIATE IT. YES, SIR.

OTHER QUESTIONS ON E7.

MR. MILLSAP.

JUST A REAL BASIC QUESTION.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PURSUIT TAHOE AND A PATROL TAHOE OTHER THAN ABOUT $5,000? BECAUSE THERE'S ONE OF THEM IS LISTED AS PATROL.

TAHOE PATROL CARS.

AND THE OTHER ONE IS LISTED AS POLICE PURSUIT.

TAHOES. IS THERE ANY REAL DIFFERENCE? WELL, THE EXACT TECHNICAL TERM IS POLICE PURSUIT VEHICLE.

[00:20:04]

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE TWO THAT WE JUST RECEIVED? YEAH. OF COURSE. WELL, THE TWO ITEMS YOU MENTIONED THAT.

YEAH. THE TWO ITEMS. THERE'S ONE ITEM. YEAH, BUT THE COMMENT THAT WAS PRESENTED IS ONE OF THEM WAS APPARENTLY BOUGHT AS PATROL TAHOES.

THAT MAY JUST BE HOW IT WAS SPECIFICALLY WORDED IN THE LEDGER REGISTRY.

OKAY, BUT THEY ARE THE SAME RATED VEHICLES.

THAT'S ALL I WANTED. YES, SIR.

YEAH. DID YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION? NO. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON E7? ALL RIGHT. HEARING NONE. THANK YOU.

CHIEF. THANK YOU. WE'LL TAKE A MOTION.

MR. PRESTENBERG. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO E7.

I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM E7 AS PRESENTED BY MR. PRESTENBERG. DO I HAVE A SECOND? MISS BUHLER. SECOND.

I HAVE A SECOND BY MISS BUHLER.

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

THE MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM F, ACTION ITEMS.

[1. Conduct a public hearing and consider approving an ordinance amending the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and Map of the City of Sachse, as heretofore amended, by amending and restating Planned Development No. 35 ("PD-35") with base zoning of Agricultural District ("AG") to allow for the additional use of the fabrication and restoration of specialty, custom and/or classic vehicles, on an approximate 10.00 acre tract of land, located at 3904 Miles Road, City of Sachse, Dallas County, Texas, and more particularly described in Exhibit "A"; providing for the approval of the site plan attached as Exhibit "B"; providing a conflicts clause; providing a repealing clause; providing a severability clause; providing a savings clause; providing a penalty of fine not to exceed the sum of Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000) for each offense; and providing for an effective date.]

PROVIDING A REPEALING CLAUSE.

PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE.

PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE, PROVIDING A PENALTY FOR A FINE NOT TO EXCEED THE SUM OF $2,000 FOR EACH OFFENSE AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

AND I WILL NOTE BEFORE WE ACTUALLY DISCUSS THIS ITEM, MR. MILLSAP HAS FILLED OUT A OH YOU DID.

OKAY. I'M SORRY.

GO AHEAD, MR. MILLSAP. SINCE I HAVE A PERSONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST, I WILL RECUSE MYSELF FROM THIS ITEM.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY. THANK YOU, MR. MILLSAP. I WILL NOTE FOR THE RECORD THAT MR. MILLSAP HAS FILLED OUT THE APPROPRIATE PAPERWORK TO MAKE THAT OFFICIAL.

SO THANK YOU, MR. MILLSAP FOR THAT.

OKAY WITH THAT, MISS NASH? MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I WILL LET MATT DO THE PRESENTATION ON THIS ITEM.

AS YOU CAN SEE THROUGH THE PRESENTATION, IT WAS APPROVED AT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

AND NOW THIS ITEM IS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT TO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER.

HELLO, MR. ROBINSON.

HELLO, MR. MAYOR. COUNCIL.

AS MENTIONED, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING FOR A AMENDMENT TO A PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NUMBER 35, WHICH CURRENTLY HAS A BASE ZONING DISTRICT OF AGRICULTURAL.

THE PROPOSAL TO IS TO ADD AN APPROXIMATELY 6000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING TO THE EXISTING SITE, WHICH HOUSES THE SACHSE ROD SHOP, WHICH IS ON APPROXIMATELY 10.13 ACRES OF LAND.

CURRENTLY, THERE ARE FOUR COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS TOTALING ROUGHLY 12,000FT² AND ONE RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNIT ON THE PROPERTY.

THE ABOVE MAP YOU CAN SEE THE LOCATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

AND THEN THE ZONING MAP HERE.

NOTATING THE PD 35 ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

AS PART OF THE PROPOSED PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.

AS MENTIONED, IT WILL BE A BASE ZONING OF AG WITH A MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF TWO STORIES OR 35FT.

IT WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THE ONE DWELLING UNIT ON THE SITE, AND IS FOR THE FABRICATION AND RESTORATION OF SPECIALTY, CUSTOM AND OR CLASSIC VEHICLES ON SITE.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WILL BE REQUIRED TO FOLLOW THE ATTACHED SITE PLAN EXHIBIT, WHICH IS THE NEXT SLIDE IN MY PRESENTATION.

JUST AS A REFRESHER, THIS PROPERTY WAS REZONED IN 2016 TO THE PD 35 TO ALLOW FOR AN ADDITIONAL BUILDING.

SO THIS IS A SIMILAR REQUEST TO WHAT WAS DONE IN 2016.

THE SITE PLAN YOU CAN SEE HERE.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE IMAGE ON THE LEFT IS FLIPPED IN ORDER FOR THESE TO BE MIRRORED.

SO YOU CAN SEE THE EXACT LOCATION ON THE RIGHT IS WHERE THE PROPOSED BUILDING IS OUTLINED IN RED.

THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN DESIGNATES THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AS LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL USES, WHICH ARE DESCRIBED AS NEIGHBORHOODS WITH CONVENTIONAL DETACHED SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS ON A VERY ON A RANGE OF LOT SIZES AND VARIOUS SETBACKS.

WHILE THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN DOES NOT SUPPORT THE REZONING REQUEST, THE EXISTING ZONING ALLOWS FOR THIS TYPE OF USE, AND THIS BUILDING ADDITION WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT ON SITE.

AS PART OF THE REZONING PROCESS, STAFF AT STAFF SENT OUT 331 PROPERTY POSTCARDS TO PROPERTY

[00:25:07]

THAT IS 1000FT.

IN ADDITION, STAFF ALSO NOTICED IN THE SACHSE NEWSPAPER IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE LAW.

AS FAR AS THE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE REZONING, STAFF DOES NOT HAVE ANY OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED PLAN DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT REQUEST AS IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT ON THE SITE.

THIS IS TO ALLOW FOR AN ADDITIONAL BUILDING ON A PREVIOUSLY OWNED PROPERTY THAT ALLOWS THIS TYPE OF USE.

IN ADDITION, AT THE OCTOBER 28TH REGULAR MEETING, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION VOTED FIVE ZERO TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT.

THE APPLICANT IS HERE TONIGHT TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, IF YOU HAVE ANY.

WITH THAT, MY PRESENTATION HAS BEEN CONCLUDED AND I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

THANK YOU, MR. ROBINSON.

QUESTIONS FOR MR. ROBINSON OR STAFF IN GENERAL FROM COUNCIL.

MR. BUHLER, DID YOU GET ANY RESPONSES TO THE NOTICES SENT OUT? WE HAD ONE PHONE CALL, AND THEN WE HAD TWO RESIDENTS THAT SHOWED UP AT THE PNC, BUT NEITHER ONE OF THOSE SPOKE.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

MR. PRESTENBERG? YES. THANK YOU.

THANKS FOR THE PRESENTATION, MATT.

THIS IS JUST THAT ONE BOOK BUILDING THE 49 OR ALMOST 50 FOOT BY 120.

IS THAT THE ONLY THING THAT'S BEING ADDED? RIGHT? CORRECT.

IT'S THE ONE IN RED ON THE SCREEN RIGHT HERE.

RIGHT. AND THEN WHEN I LOOK AT THE GOOGLE MAP OR WHATEVER, IT'S BASICALLY BUTTONED UP TO THE SCHOOL.

THERE'S NO CONCERN ABOUT DRAINAGE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT RUNOFF FROM THE BUILDING.

I MEAN, IT'LL ALL BE BUILT TO CODE AND WOULD FLOW DOWN TO THE.

LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A RETAINING POND.

AS PART OF AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT, THEY'LL BE REQUIRED TO MEET ALL BUILDING AND SITE PLAN REQUIREMENTS.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

WELL, I WASN'T ON COUNCIL WHEN THIS LAST CAME UP, SO I'M JUST CURIOUS, WERE THERE ANY CONCERNS AND WERE THEY ALL HANDLED, I GUESS, AS THOSE OTHER BUILDINGS WERE BUILT. I WASN'T HERE IN 2016 EITHER, SO I'M NOT SURE IF THERE WAS ANY SPECIFIC CONCERNS AT THAT POINT IN TIME.

BUT STAFF HAS EVALUATED THE CONCEPT, PLAN AND LAYOUT.

WE'VE CONSULTED WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AS FAR AS HAVING A HYDRANT ON SITE.

AND ENGINEERING HAS LOOKED AT THIS PRELIMINARILY FOR THE DRAINAGE ITEMS, BUT THAT WILL ALL COME THROUGH WITH PART OF THEIR BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION.

ALL RIGHT. WELL THANK YOU.

MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKS.

YEAH. MR. PRESTENBERG.

THOSE WERE THE ISSUES.

YOU HAVE A SCHOOL ON EACH.

OR ARE THEY SOUTH SIDE OF THAT PROPERTY? SO THOSE WERE THE ISSUES IN 2016 AS WELL.

YOU KNOW, ADJACENCY TO THE SCHOOLS AND FIRE APPARATUS AND FIRE HYDRANTS, THAT KIND OF THING.

THOSE ARE, MY UNDERSTANDING, WERE ADDRESSED.

THE SAME THING HAS BEEN ADDRESSED THIS TIME.

THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY.

MATT. SO GO BACK TO YOUR SLIDE ABOUT NOTIFICATIONS.

I KNOW MISS BUHLER TOUCHED ON THIS.

YES. OKAY.

SO 331 WERE SENT OUT, AND THAT'S.

I'M ASSUMING THAT'S A DIRECT RESULT OF THE 1000 FOOT REQUIREMENT.

THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY.

SO I THOUGHT I HEARD YOU SAY STATE LAW HAS A REQUIREMENT OF 200FT.

SO PER STATE LAW, STAFF IS REQUIRED TO NOTIFY WITHIN 200FT OF THE PROPERTY BOUNDARIES.

SACHSE HAS AN ORDINANCE IN PLACE THAT REQUIRES IT TO BE 1000FT.

YEAH. SO FIVE TIMES WHAT? OKAY. AND I'M ASSUMING WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT 200FT IS AND WHAT 1000FT IS, I KNOW YOU PROBABLY DON'T HAVE THIS NUMBER, BUT OBVIOUSLY IT WOULD BE A LOT LESS THAN 331, WHICH THERE IS A COST ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

CORRECT? CORRECT. OKAY.

AND YEAH, PROBABLY SOMETHING WE NEED TO LOOK AT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PURPOSE OF 1000FT.

I KNOW IT'S BEEN ON THE BOOKS FOR A LONG TIME.

BUT I THINK THE OTHER THING THAT I'VE SEEN, BECAUSE THE WHOLE POINT, I'M ASSUMING WHEN THEY DID THAT WAS, HEY, WE WANT TO LET AS MANY PEOPLE KNOW AS WE CAN.

AND A LOT'S CHANGED SINCE THEN AS FAR AS WHAT WE CAN DO.

WHAT ARE OTHER THINGS WE CAN DO BESIDES JUST SEND SOMEBODY A LETTER THAT THEY MAY OR MAY NOT READ? TYPICALLY BEST PRACTICE IN THE INDUSTRY IS TO NOTICE UP TO THE 200FT AND THEN PROVIDE ZONING SIGNS ON THE PROPERTY.

SO ANYBODY DRIVING BY, WHETHER THEY LIVE IN THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOOD OR NOT, THEY WILL KNOW THAT THERE'S A ZONING CASE THAT'S COMING UP, COMING AHEAD OF THEM.

OFTENTIMES THOSE HAVE A QR CODE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THAT THE PEOPLE PASSING BY, THEY CAN QUICKLY GET TO THAT, GO TO THE WEB PAGE, THEN THEY'LL KNOW WHAT THAT THAT CASE IS ABOUT. OKAY.

AND I KNOW IF WE DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING, WE'D HAVE TO CHANGE THE ORDINANCE TO CHANGE THAT.

[00:30:04]

LIKE I SAID, WITH QR CODES AND OTHER WAYS TO GET THE WORD OUT, BECAUSE I THINK, AGAIN, MOST PEOPLE WILL GO TO THOSE MEDIUMS AS OPPOSED TO BECAUSE HECK, IF I DIDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER, I DON'T KNOW IF I'D LOOK AT THE LETTER EITHER.

SO I'M MORE ABOUT GETTING THE WORD OUT IN DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE CAN, AND BY DOING IT FOR LESS COST AND TO BE MORE CONSISTENT WITH STATE LAW.

SO DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE MAY BE ABLE TO LOOK AT.

WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO BRING AN ORDINANCE FORWARD.

OKAY. WELL WE'LL SEE HOW THAT GOES.

OKAY. OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE WE OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

OKAY. THANK YOU, MR. ROBINSON. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

SO I DO DECLARE THE PUBLIC HEARING TO BE OPEN.

THE TIME IS GRANGER 7 P.M., 7 P.M..

THE PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN.

ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS ITEM? ALL RIGHT. HEARING NONE, I DECLARE THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED.

THE TIME MS. GRANGER? 07:01. YES. ALL RIGHT.

701. OKAY, SO PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED.

COUNCIL. WE HAVE HEARD SOME STAFF, SO THIS IS THE TIME FOR FURTHER QUESTIONS OR MOTIONS. MR. PRESTENBERG? YES.

THERE'S NO FURTHER COMMENT.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM F ONE AS PRESENTED.

I HAVE A MOTION BY MR. PRESTENBERG TO APPROVE ITEM F ONE AS PRESENTED.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? MISS HOWARTH.

SECOND. I HAVE A SECOND BY MISS HOWARTH.

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

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

AND I'M JUST GOING TO.

GO GET MR. MILLSAP.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU DIDN'T GO HOME.

YEAH. OKAY.

OKAY. WELCOME BACK, MR. MILLSAP. YEAH, I BET IT IS.

OKAY. NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM F2.

[2. Receive an update and consider authorizing the City Manager to execute Change Order #3 for professional services for the design of Merritt Road between the City of Sachse and Halff and Associates in the amount of Four Hundred Twenty-Eight Thousand, Four Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($428,400.00).]

MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THIS WILL BE A TAG TEAM EFFORT TO PRESENT TO YOU TONIGHT TO GIVE YOU TWO THINGS.

ONE IS AN UPDATE ON THE MERRITT ROAD PROJECT AND DENIS SANTRY, WHO IS OUR PROJECT MANAGER WITH HALF AN ASSOCIATES, IS HERE TO GO OVER ALL OF THAT WITH YOU.

BUT ALSO, COREY NESBITT WILL ALSO PROVIDE AN UPDATE RELATIVE TO THE CHANGE ORDER THAT WE WILL NEED FOR THIS PROJECT TO CONTINUE MOVING THINGS FORWARD.

AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD A LOT OF DELAYS AND A LOT OF FRUSTRATIONS ON THOSE DELAYS, BUT WE CAN HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS TONIGHT ABOUT THE SPECIFICS OF THAT AND MAKE SURE WE CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE COUNCIL MOVING FORWARD ON THAT AND THEN PROVIDE THAT UPDATE, OF COURSE, TO THE PUBLIC ONCE THIS PRESENTATION IS GIVEN TONIGHT.

GREAT. THANK YOU, MISS NASH.

HELLO, MR. NESBITT. HELLO, MAYOR.

COUNCIL. YES.

AS MS. NASH MENTIONED, WE'RE GOING TO DO KIND OF A TAG TEAM PRESENTATION HERE.

DENNIS WILL GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THE MERRITT ROAD PROJECT WITH SOME DATES AND SOME INFORMATION THAT I'M SURE YOU ALL ARE INTERESTED IN SEEING.

AND THEN I'LL COVER THE CHANGE ORDER PORTION OF THAT.

AND WITH THAT, DENNIS, PLEASE.

HELLO, MR. SATRY, THANK YOU FOR THE INTRODUCTIONS, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

ALL RIGHT, MERRITT ROAD.

AGAIN, WE'LL GO THROUGH THE PROJECT SUMMARY RIGHT QUICK.

AGAIN, IT EXTENDS FROM PLEASANT VALLEY UP TO SACHSE ROAD.

IT HAS THREE BASIC OBJECTIVES.

ONE IS TO ADD CAPACITY.

IT'S GOING FROM A TWO LANE ASPHALT TO A FOUR LANE DIVIDED FACILITY.

SECOND PRIMARY GOAL IS TO REALIGN THE ROAD TO LINE UP WITH WOODBRIDGE AND FORM A SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION THERE.

AND THE THIRD AND AGAIN, VERY IMPORTANT OBJECTIVE OF THE ROAD IS TO RAISE IT OUT OF THE FLOODPLAIN.

WE HAVE TO RAISE THE LOWEST PORTIONS OF THE ROAD ABOUT SIX FEET, TO GET THEM UP OUT OF THE FLOODPLAIN OF WHAT IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS WILLOW LAKE WHICH IS AN SCS RESERVOIR FACILITY.

AND GO THROUGH A FEW ITEMS THAT ARE OF IMPORTANCE RIGHT AWAY.

HAS BEEN VERY IMPORTANT.

WE ARE FINALLY GETTING DOWN TO THE END.

WE HAVE ONE PARCEL THAT IS STILL NOT CLOSED.

IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING AS OF TODAY THAT THE ATTORNEYS HAVE WORKED SOMETHING OUT WITH THE LIEN HOLDER.

THE LIEN HOLDER IS NOT GOING TO REQUIRE THE PARCEL TO GO TO EMINENT DOMAIN, AND INSTEAD, THEY WILL AGREE TO CLOSE AT THE TITLE

[00:35:09]

SO WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO HOPEFULLY GETTING ALL THAT DONE BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.

THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF ACQUISITION CHALLENGES.

IT'S TAKEN LONGER THAN WE EXPECTED.

IT'S BEEN ABOUT THREE AND A HALF YEARS.

YOU KNOW, THERE WERE A NUMBER OF THINGS.

WE HAD PROPERTY OWNERS SELL PROPERTIES.

WE HAD ONE PROPERTY OWNER SPLIT A PROPERTY IN HALF AGAIN.

THOSE REQUIRE NEW APPRAISALS AND PROCESSES TO GO THROUGH.

THERE WAS A RELOCATION WITH THE PROPERTY THERE THAT THAT FRONTS SACHSE ROAD THAT REQUIRED THAT A PROPERTY OWNER REMOVE A TENANT AND TAKE CARE OF THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

SO AGAIN, EMINENT DOMAIN IS THERE FOR A REASON.

YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS REALLY KIND OF USE THAT TO THEIR ADVANTAGE, I BELIEVE, TO GET THE MAXIMUM PRICE.

BUT THAT DOES UNFORTUNATELY COME AT SOME TIME EXPENSE IN ORDER TO GET THAT DONE.

ABOUT THE SAME TIME THAT WE STARTED ON RIGHT OF WAY IN 2021, WE SUBMITTED THE ROADWAY DESIGN AND HYDRAULIC CALCULATIONS FOR THE LAKE TO DALWORTH SOIL WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT.

AGAIN, THAT FACILITY IS A GOVERNMENT RESERVOIR THAT IS UNDER THE GENERAL UMBRELLA OF THE US DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.

IT WAS BUILT IN THE 50S, ORIGINALLY FOR FLOOD CONTROL AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL DOWNSTREAM.

THE NATURAL RESOURCE CONSERVATION SERVICE IS KIND OF AN ARM OF THE USDA.

THEY HAVE A LOCAL STATE OFFICE, AND THEY SERVE AS THE ENGINEER OF RECORD FOR THE FACILITY BECAUSE THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE DOESN'T HAVE ENGINEERS.

THE DALWORTH SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT IS BASICALLY A BOARD THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE TYPES OF FACILITIES THROUGH THE STATE.

AGAIN, THE FEDS PASSED DOWN RESPONSIBILITIES, THESE THINGS TO THE STATES.

THE STATES HAVE PASSED IT DOWN AGAIN TO LOCAL BOARDS TO MANAGE THESE THINGS.

WE WERE WORKING OUT OF THE OFFICE IN ARLINGTON, WHICH MANAGES BOTH DALLAS AND TARRANT COUNTY RESERVOIR FACILITIES.

WE HAVE WHEN WE INITIALLY THE FACILITY IS DESIGNED FOR TWO FEET OF WATER OVER THE EMERGENCY SPILLWAY, AND WE INITIALLY SUBMITTED A DESIGN COMPENSATING FOR THE ROAD THAT DID NOT INCREASE.

I BELIEVE WE WERE ABOUT A FOOT AND A HALF OVER THE SPILLWAY FOR THE 100 YEAR EVENT, WHICH WAS WHAT THE FACILITY WAS INTENDED TO BE DESIGNED FOR.

THEY HAVE COME BACK AND IT'S BEEN VERY DIFFICULT TO COORDINATE WITH THEM AGAIN.

WE WORK GENERALLY THROUGH THE BOARD WHO USES USDA AS A LIAISON.

AGAIN, THEY'RE THOSE PEOPLE WERE WORKING FROM HOME UNTIL 23, I THINK.

BUT WHEN BIDEN FINALLY ENDED THE EMERGENCY COVID EMERGENCY.

SO A LOT OF STAFF TURNOVER, JUST A LOT OF MISCOMMUNICATION BETWEEN NRCS AND DALWORTH THAT WE WERE THE UNFORTUNATE RECIPIENTS OF.

AT SOME POINT IT BECAME NECESSARY THAT WE WORKED DIRECTLY WITH NRCS STAFF, WORKED TO GET MEETINGS SET UP WITH THEM, AND THEY MORE OR LESS DID AGREE TO BEGIN TALKING DIRECTLY WITH US INSTEAD OF THROUGH THE BOARD IN ORDER TO EXPEDITE MATTERS.

THE BOARDS HAD TROUBLE MAINTAINING A QUORUM BECAUSE THEY'RE APPOINTED AND PEOPLE JUST DON'T WANT TO SERVE.

AND THEY AND THEY HAVE SOME SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS AS WELL THAT ARE SOMEWHAT UNIQUE.

SO WE HAVE FINALLY COME TO AN AGREEMENT WITH THEM, BUT THEY HAVE CHANGED CRITERIA A COUPLE TIMES ON US OVER THE COURSE, AND THAT IS WHAT SOME OF THE REVISED DESIGN REQUIREMENTS FEES ARE FOR IS TO CHANGE OUR DESIGNS TO ACCOMMODATE WHAT NRCS IS RECOMMENDING TO THE BOARD FOR APPROVAL.

NRCS CLAIMS THAT THE LAKE IS A FOOT AND A HALF HIGHER THAN IT SHOULD BE.

BECAUSE A RESIDENT BLOCKED UP THE OUTLET ON PURPOSE TO RAISE THE WATER LEVEL, AND WE TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH THAT.

BUT NEVERTHELESS, THEY'VE MADE US INCREASE OUR STORAGE FOR A FOOT AND A HALF BELOW THE EXISTING WATER SURFACE IN ORDER TO COUNTERACT THAT.

THE LAST ONE THAT THEY PUT ON US WAS, AGAIN, THE FACILITY IS ONLY DESIGNED FOR TWO FEET OVER THE SPILLWAY.

[00:40:05]

SO THAT'S ANOTHER FIVE FEET.

AND WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF ROOM ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE OF MERIT.

IN ORDER TO EXCAVATE ENOUGH MATERIAL TO COMPENSATE FOR THE ROADWAY.

SO, WE MADE WE DETERMINED THAT THE BEST THING TO DO WAS TO ABANDON THE ORIGINAL DESIGN.

GO WITH A MORE NARROW FOOTPRINT.

LOWER THE ROAD SLIGHTLY AND LOWER THE TRAIL BACK DOWN TO AN ELEVATION WHERE IT WOULD NOT NECESSARILY BE PROTECTED FROM THE 100 YEAR STORM.

AND WE MET WITH THE BOARD TWO MONTHS AGO AND THEY BASICALLY SAID, YES, WE CONCUR BECAUSE IN OUR CASE HAS NO OBJECTIONS TO THAT DESIGN.

PENDING RECEIPT OF FINAL PLANS.

SO, YOU KNOW, ONCE WE GET FINAL PLANS AGAIN, WE HAVE A DOCUMENT FROM THEM THAT IF WE SUBMIT THE SAME THING THAT WE PRESENTED TO THEM, THEY WILL APPROVE IT.

SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE ARE.

AND THAT'S, YOU KNOW, FORTUNATELY, IT'S NOT BEEN A IT'S NOT REALLY YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT THE ONLY THING THAT'S KEPT THE PROJECT FROM PROCEEDING. BUT WE WE DO HAVE AN EXTRA LITTLE STEP HERE TO GET THE 90% DONE WHERE THIS HAS CAUSED, YOU KNOW, ARGUABLY SOME DELAY.

UTILITY COORDINATION IS THE NEXT THING THAT IS REALLY CRITICAL PATH.

AGAIN, THERE ARE EIGHT FRANCHISE UTILITIES IN THE CORRIDOR.

THERE'S ABOUT 80 DIFFERENT CONFLICTS WITH THE PROJECT THAT ALL NEED TO BE WORKED OUT.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING MONTHLY WITH ALL THE UTILITY COMPANIES SINCE MAY IN ORDER TO GET THEIR DESIGNS DONE. WE'RE VERY CLOSE WITH THREE OF THEM.

ONCOR, FARMERS ELECTRIC AND ATMOS HAVE ALL SENT US BASICALLY THEIR PRE-FINAL RELOCATION DRAWINGS.

WE'RE COORDINATING POLE LOCATIONS AND ELEVATIONS AND THINGS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN START WORK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

WE DEFINITELY WANT TO GET THE ELECTRIC STUFF DONE OVER THE WINTER.

NO ONE'S GOING TO TAKE POWER DOWN DURING THE SUMMER.

SO WE'RE CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC THAT THEY'LL SUBMIT FOR PERMITS.

THEY'LL GET THEIR PERMITS APPROVED AND START DOING WORK IN DECEMBER OR AT THE VERY LATEST JANUARY.

AS FAR AS SCHEDULE UPDATE AND TIMELINES AGAIN.

SO WE BELIEVE WE CAN REVISE THE PLANS AND SUBMIT 90% DRAWINGS TO TXDOT AND CITY OF SACHSE IN FEBRUARY. I SUSPECT THAT WOULD BE EARLY FEBRUARY.

WE'LL GET COMMENTS BACK FROM BOTH THE STATE AND THE CITY.

HOPEFULLY ADDRESS THOSE IN APRIL AND THEN SUBMIT FINAL PLANS IN JUNE OF 2025 FOR APPROVAL.

THAT WOULD BE WHEN TXDOT WOULD ISSUE THEIR LETTER OF AUTHORITY, ALLOWING THE CITY TO ADVERTISE THE PROJECT FOR BIDS.

AND WE DON'T ANTICIPATE THAT UNTIL PROBABLY SEPTEMBER OF 2025 AT THIS POINT.

THIS IS JUST A TIMELINE.

WE UNFORTUNATELY THE OF THE REMAINING TASKS THERE.

THE ONE I HAVEN'T SPOKEN OF IS THE REEVALUATION.

THE ORIGINAL APPROVAL OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS EXPIRES IN AFTER THREE YEARS.

SO THAT DID EXPIRE.

WE ARE IN THE PROCESS RIGHT NOW OF FILLING OUT FORMS TO GET A, QUOTE, REEVALUATION COMPLETED.

I DON'T ANTICIPATE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THAT.

WE DO HAVE TO DO SOME ARCHEOLOGICAL WORK ON THE PROPERTIES WHERE WE WERE DENIED ACCESS ORIGINALLY, BECAUSE THEY JUST WOULDN'T LET US ON THE SITE.

SO THAT'S GOING ON THERE.

WE DO HAVE A CORE 404 PERMIT.

IT'S A NATIONWIDE PERMIT, SO WE'RE NOT ANTICIPATING ANY PROBLEMS WITH THAT OR EXTENDED DELAYS.

THE INCOMING ADMINISTRATION'S MORE THAN LIKELY GOING TO MAKE IT EASIER, NOT HARDER, TO GET THAT DONE.

SO HOPEFULLY THAT DOESN'T PRESENT ANY KIND OF PROBLEM.

AND THAT'S WHERE WE ARE.

COREY. THANK YOU DENNIS.

AND SO YEAH, THE SECOND PART OF THIS IS ALL THE THERE'S A CHANGE ORDER FOR ALL THE WORK THAT KIND OF DENNIS REFERRED TO ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE.

A LOT OF DESIGN WORK REQUIRED FOR THE FROM THE USDA.

[00:45:03]

AGAIN, FRANCHISE UTILITIES, THE ONGOING COORDINATION WITH THE RIGHT OF WAY AND DOCUMENTS, AND JUST THE TIME IT TAKES TO GET TO THE DALLAS COUNTY COURT PROCESS.

I MEAN, WE SPENT OVER A YEAR ON THAT STUFF.

AND SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT THIS WHAT THESE CHANGE ORDERS ARE RECOMMENDING.

AGAIN, JUST TIME AND EXTRA EFFORT THAT WASN'T ORIGINALLY ANTICIPATED.

THAT HAS TO BE DONE.

SOME OF IT'S OUT OF OUR CONTROL.

AND THAT'S JUST KIND OF I MEAN, DENNIS DID A GOOD JOB OF KIND OF SUMMARIZING ALL THE OBSTACLES THAT WE'VE ENCOUNTERED ALONG THE WAY.

WE HAVE A PLAN FORWARD TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES, BUT IT DOES TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA EFFORT ON HIS HALF.

SO. AGAIN, THIS ALSO TAKES INTO SORRY INTO CONSIDERATION THE ELEMENTS THAT TEXT THAT HAS TO DO BECAUSE WE STILL ARE ONLY TECHNICALLY AT A 30% PLAN SET.

WE HAVE 90% PLANS READY TO GO TO TXDOT.

BUT WE DO HAVE TO REVISE THE DRAINAGE COMPONENTS THAT THE USDA HAS REQUIRED.

AGAIN, WE DO HAVE TO DO A LITTLE BIT OF ADDITIONAL ARCHEOLOGICAL SURVEY ON THE PROPERTIES WE COULDN'T GET TO.

AGAIN, WE DON'T ANTICIPATE ANY EXTRA ISSUES WITH THAT.

BUT AGAIN, ADDITIONAL WORK THAT STILL HAS TO BE DONE.

AND AGAIN, WE ALSO ARE PROVIDING FOR PAST REVIEW OF SHOP DRAWINGS, CONTRACTOR SUBMITTALS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

THIS IS THE SUMMARY OF ALL THE CHANGES WE'VE HAD TO WE'VE DONE TO DATE.

CHANGE ORDER ONE WAS FOR THE ADDITIONAL STREET LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPING.

CHANGE ORDER TWO.

OH MY GOSH, I CAN'T REMEMBER NOW.

I CAN GET THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU.

AND THEN NOW WE'RE AT CHANGE ORDER THREE FOR THE $428,000.

BUT SO NEW CONTRACT IS $2.9 MILLION.

AND WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU, MR. NESBITT.

THANK YOU, MR. SADRI. MISS HOWARTH.

YES. SO THIS PROJECT GOT STARTED BEFORE I WAS ON CITY COUNCIL.

SO IT'S PRE 2017.

IS THERE ANYTHING WE COULD HAVE DONE TO NOT HAVE HAD THIS DELAYED AN EXTRA 4 OR 5, SIX YEARS AS A CITY? I DON'T KNOW, AND THAT'S A HARD QUESTION TO ANSWER.

I THINK THE RIGHT OF WAY WAS A SEPARATE ISSUE AND NOT KNOWING HOW THAT WOULD PLAY OUT.

RIGHT. OF THE 40 PROPERTIES THAT WE HAD, WE ONLY HAD FIVE OF THEM THAT WENT THROUGH THE COURT PROCESS.

BUT AGAIN, THAT TOOK JUST THOSE FIVE PROPERTIES ALONE, TOOK A YEAR TO NAVIGATE THAT PROCESS.

AND SO AGAIN, BEST MADE PLANS.

I DON'T KNOW THAT WE COULD HAVE DONE ANYTHING DIFFERENT.

I DON'T KNOW THAT WE WOULD HAVE ANTICIPATED THE USDA ISSUES.

YES. AND AGAIN, I FEEL LIKE WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING THROUGH THE TXDOT MODEL, THROUGH THE TXDOT PROCESS THAT THAT, YOU KNOW, HALF IS DONE HUNDREDS OF PROJECTS THE SAME MANNER.

I THINK JUST A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE DIDN'T ANTICIPATE OR COULDN'T HAVE ANTICIPATED.

I THINK I REMEMBER THE VERY ONE OF THE VERY FIRST DELAYS ON THIS PROJECT BEING THE 20, WHAT, 20 EARLY 2018 GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL THAT DELAYED US.

TXDOT DID NOT REVIEW PLANS FOR ALMOST NINE MONTHS.

YEAH. THAT IS JUST LIKE EVERY TIME WE SEEM TO GET OUT OF OUR CONTROL AND HAVE TO DEAL WITH ANOTHER GOVERNMENT ENTITY.

IT WASN'T JUST 30 DAYS OR 60 DAYS.

IT WAS SIX MONTHS, NINE MONTHS, 18 MONTHS, 11 MONTHS.

YOU KNOW, THE WATER BOARD COULDN'T HAVE A QUORUM FOR A YEAR AND A HALF, AND THEY DIDN'T TELL US THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE A QUORUM, AND THEY DIDN'T TELL US THAT THEY DIDN'T.

WELL, THAT GOT MR. SATRY UP.

WELL, AGAIN, I'M GETTING FIRED UP NOW.

IF THE ONLY THING THAT YOU REALLY COULD HAVE DONE.

AGAIN, WE'RE DEALING WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND A LOT OF TURNOVER AND AGAIN, THE WHOLE COVID THING AND BUT, YOU KNOW, UNFORTUNATELY, IF YOU HAD PAID FOR EVERYTHING YOURSELF, IT WOULD HAVE GONE MUCH FASTER.

BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU ARE GETTING A VERY NICE FACILITY.

IT'S THE CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATE IS CURRENTLY AT $33 MILLION.

WE DIDN'T HAVE $33 MILLION.

AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S GOING TO PAY FOR 80% OF IT.

GENERALLY AS AS PART OF THE DEAL.

AND IT'S JUST YOU TAKE THEIR MONEY, YOU TAKE THEIR DELAYS OR THEIR TIMETABLE, AND WE WORK AROUND THEM AS BEST WE CAN.

BUT AGAIN, IT'S IT IT IS DIFFICULT AND FRUSTRATING AT TIMES.

I THINK WE'RE I THINK YOU'RE FRUSTRATED AND YOU'RE FRUSTRATED AND I'M FRUSTRATED AND THE COUNCIL IS FRUSTRATED, AND THE FOLKS THAT LIVE ON THAT USE THAT ROAD ARE FRUSTRATED, AND THE PEOPLE THAT USE THE INTERSECTION, THAT SACHSE ROAD ARE FRUSTRATED.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE CLEAR THAT THERE'S VERY LITTLE WE COULD HAVE DONE, SHORT OF WRITING A $33 MILLION CHECK FROM THE TAXPAYERS OF SACHSE TO MAKE THIS GO FASTER.

IT'S UNFORTUNATE, BUT UGLY TRUTH.

YEAH, I WOULD POINT OUT TO WHAT MR. SATRY HAD EMPHASIZED IN HIS REMARKS ABOUT WHAT I.

MY WORDS ARE MOVING THE GOALPOST ON YOU ALL THE TIME.

YOU KNOW, THE USDA AND HEY, WE'LL DESIGN IT FOR THIS.

OKAY, GREAT. HERE IT IS.

WELL, HOW ABOUT YOU DO THIS?

[00:50:01]

SO. RIGHT. YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT GIVING YOU ANY IDENTIFICATION.

WELL, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE. YEAH, WELL, MISS HOWARTH ALLUDED TO IT.

YEAH, WE ALL HEAR ABOUT IT, YOU KNOW, ON COUNCIL AND RIGHTFULLY SO, BECAUSE IT'S AN IMPORTANT ROAD IN THE COMMUNITY.

BUT IT'S A, IT'S NOT A SIMPLE THING.

AND THE AMOUNT OF MONEY, LIKE MISS HOWARTH SAID THAT, YOU KNOW, WE WEREN'T GOING TO OR CAN'T WRITE A $33 MILLION CHECK.

AND THERE'S DEFINITELY THE GIVE AND TAKE WITH IT.

AND QUITE FRANKLY, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, THE STORY YOU RECALLED IS THAT SOME OF IT'S JUST BEEN DOWNRIGHT CRAZY, YOU KNOW, ON WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR.

SO CERTAINLY NOT WITHIN THE REALM OF BEST PRACTICE.

SO IT ALL GOES INTO THAT.

SO BUT AGAIN AT THE END OF THE DAY, I THINK WE'LL BE HAPPY WITH IT.

MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKS.

I'LL TRY TO BE NICE.

I KNOW IT'S TOUGH FOR ME.

IT'S A GREAT PRESENTATION, WRAPPING UP EVERYTHING, BUT NOBODY CARES.

ALL WE KNOW IS THIS WAS GOING TO TAKE 3 TO 4 YEARS AND IT'S GOING TO TAKE TEN NOW.

I'M NOT BLAMING YOU, NOT BLAMING YOU, NOT BLAMING US.

LIKE YOU SAID, THIS IS A PROJECT WE'RE DOING WITH THE YOU SAID THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

THIS IS A COG PROJECT INITIALLY, RIGHT? WELL, ESSENTIALLY WE HAVE A SMALL PIECE IN IT BEING FUNDING, AND THAT'S ABOUT ALL WE HAVE.

WE HAVE NO CONTROL, BUT NO ONE CARES.

NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE EXCUSES.

NOBODY CARES ABOUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

NOBODY CARES ABOUT THE WHATEVER PROCESS TOOK FOREVER.

NO ONE CARES. EVERYONE'S FRUSTRATED.

I KNOW YOU'RE FRUSTRATED.

I KNOW YOU'RE FRUSTRATED. I KNOW WE'RE ALL FRUSTRATED.

MY QUESTION AFTER ALL THAT FRUSTRATION WOULD BE WE'RE HAVING TO PAY $800,000 IN CHANGE ORDERS.

HOW MUCH DID THE COG PAY IN CHANGE ORDERS IN THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME? SO ACTUALLY WE'RE WORKING ON A TIP MODIFICATION FOR THIS DUE THIS WEEK.

SAY THAT ONE MORE TIME. SO I'M ACTUALLY SUBMITTING A TIP MODIFICATION A FUNDING MECHANISM FROM THE COG OKAY TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

SORRY. ACRONYMS. NEVER HEARD THAT ONE BEFORE, BUT GO AHEAD.

SO. AND SO WE'VE DONE THIS WILL BE THE THIRD ONE THAT WE'VE DONE WHERE WE'VE ADJUSTED THE COST AND FEES.

AND SO WE'LL SUBMIT THAT FOR COG REVIEW AND THEN TXDOT APPROVALS AS WELL.

SO THAT'S ALL WE CAN DO.

SO DO YOU HAVE DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE COG HAS PAID IN CHANGE ORDER FEES.

WE'VE RECEIVED OR I GUESS MY QUESTION IF YOU DON'T, ARE WE PAYING ALL THE CHANGE ORDER FEES OR ARE WE SPLITTING IT WITH THEM? THAT'S KIND OF WHERE I'M AT.

SO WE'VE RECEIVED $1 MILLION IN DESIGN FEES FROM TXDOT REIMBURSEMENT, AND I THINK WE'VE ALSO RECEIVED ROUGHLY ANOTHER MILLION DOLLARS IN RIGHT OF WAY REIMBURSEMENT.

IS THAT THROUGH THE COG? THROUGH TXDOT? THROUGH TXDOT? OKAY. I KNOW THERE'S MULTIPLE AGENCIES WITHIN THE COG.

THAT'S WHAT I'M KIND OF GETTING AT.

ARE ALL THESE OTHER PEOPLE THROUGH THE COG PUTTING PAYING PERCENTAGES OF THESE CHANGE ORDERS? YES. IT ALL COMES THROUGH TXDOT THOUGH.

YEAH. SO WE JUST I'D LIKE TO ADD SOMETHING TO THAT.

MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKS WHEN CHANGE ORDERS ARE REVIEWED BY THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS FOR THESE PROJECTS, THEY LOOK AT THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE ARE TRULY CHANGES THAT WE DID NOT INFLICT.

SO IF WE CHOSE TO DO SOMETHING TO ADD TO THE PROJECT, CHANGE THE PROJECT, ETC., THAT IS CONSIDERED DIFFERENTLY THAN THESE THAT WERE BEYOND OUR CONTROL.

NO, I UNDERSTAND THE RETAINING WALL THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BUILD ALONGSIDE THE ROAD BY THE CREEK, OR BY THE RESERVOIR, IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT THAT.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THAT'S OUT OF OUR CONTROL.

THEY'RE TELLING THE ENVIRONMENTAL DEPARTMENT'S TELLING US THAT IT'S A FOOT AND A HALF DEEPER THAN IT WAS OR SHOULD BE, OR WHATEVER.

ALL THAT MESS.

MY QUESTION TO THEM WOULD BE, ARE Y'ALL GOING TO GO IN THERE AND DREDGE OUT SOME OF THE SILT THAT Y'ALL HAVE LET COLLECT OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS? BUT I'M GUESSING THEY DON'T WANT TO DO THAT EITHER.

NO, BECAUSE THAT WOULD LOWER THE WATER LEVEL AS WELL, I'M ASSUMING.

NO. THEY WANT US TO TAKE THE LAKE ON.

OH I KNOW. YEAH, AND THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

THAT'S A THAT'S ANOTHER DISCUSSION ITEM FOR LATER.

BUT THAT'S ALSO ANOTHER AGENDA ITEM.

OKAY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT GETTING STUCK WITH ALL THE BILLS AND THE CHANGEOVERS.

BECAUSE EVERYTHING IT SEEMS LIKE IS OUT OF OUR CONTROL BECAUSE WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THIS PROJECT.

CORRECT. AND SO WE SUBMITTED THIS.

THIS WILL BE OUR THIRD TIP SUBMITTAL.

AND SO WE'VE ADJUSTED THE CONSTRUCTION FEES AT THE LAST TIME WE ADDED THE COST FOR THE ADDITIONAL STREET LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPING AND THE LAST TIME.

SO, AS WE'VE HAD THESE CHANGES OR CHANGE ORDERS COME THROUGH, WE'VE ADJUSTED THE FEE OR THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT BASED ON THAT.

SO COGS BEEN UP TO DATE WITH THAT.

AND I THINK YOU ALSO SAW WE DID A CONTRACT AMENDMENT WITH TXDOT, AMENDMENT ONE PROBABLY TWO YEARS AGO NOW, AND WE HAVE ANOTHER AMENDMENT THAT GOES TO TXDOT AS WELL THAT WILL BE COMING FORWARD HERE SHORTLY.

[00:55:01]

AND BASED ON YOUR PRESENTATION, IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE LOOKING AT 29 BEFORE IT'S FULLY OPEN AND OPERATIONAL.

HOPEFULLY 27.

COME ON. I WOULD THINK TWO YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION, TWO YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION.

SO BEING IN THE 28. END OF 28 AND IN 27.

END OF, YES YOU'RE RIGHT.

I KNOW EVERYTHING HAPPENS ON TIME IN CONSTRUCTION.

RIGHT. OKAY.

SO 28.

CAN WE AGREE TO DISAGREE ON 28? SURE. OKAY. YES.

I GOT MY FINGERS CROSSED.

AND THE FIRST DISCUSSION YOU GET THIS THING GOING WAS 16, SOUND RIGHT? YEAH. YOU WERE HERE BACK IN 2017.

WE TALKED ABOUT 16 MILLION.

YES. YEAH. 17.

YEAH. OKAY. SPLITTING HAIRS.

YEAH. ALL RIGHT. OKAY.

GOOD TIMES. THANKS.

I WOULD ADD THAT A PART OF THE FOOTPRINT CHANGES THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE.

AGAIN, THE CITY IS GIVING IN ON SOME FEW THINGS, BUT THE REVISED DESIGN THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO COME UP WITH IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM.

ALSO HAS ABOUT $1 MILLION IN CONSTRUCTION SAVINGS.

SO OF THOSE CONSTRUCTION SAVINGS, THAT WOULD BE PROBABLY AT LEAST 20% BENEFIT AS WELL.

AGAIN, TIME IS WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO SHORTEN HERE.

WE'LL TURN IT BACK ON. I WILL I'D SAY THAT'S GREAT.

SAVINGS IS GREAT AND CONSTRUCTION IMPROVEMENTS ARE GREAT.

BUT ALL PEOPLE CARE ABOUT IS IT'S TAKEN TEN YEARS.

I UNDERSTAND I'M NOT BLAMING YOU.

NO, I'M NOT BLAMING YOU HERE SINCE THE BEGINNING.

AND I'M GOING TO BE HERE TILL THE END.

I PROMISE YOU THAT.

WELL, YOU'LL BE ONE OF THE ONLY ONES.

OKAY. YEAH.

OKAY. ON THAT NOTE, MR. LINDSEY. WELL, MY SHOW COULD HAVE WOULD HAVE, WOULD HAVE BEEN TO SEE THE ROAD AT LEAST REALIGNED WITH JUST A TWO LANE ROAD AND THEN LATER EXPANDED TO THE FOUR LANE ROAD ON THERE. SO MY QUESTION RIGHT NOW IS, IS AND I KNOW THE ANSWER.

BUT JUST ASK HIM FOR THE SAKE OF THE NUMEROUS REQUESTS THAT I HEAR ON A REGULAR BASIS.

BUT IS THERE ANYTHING RIGHT NOW? WE'RE STILL IN THE SITUATION. WE'RE KICKING IT DOWN THE ROAD YET ANOTHER COUPLE OF YEARS AT LEAST, FOR THE INTERSECTION OF SACHSE ROAD AT WOODBRIDGE AND MERRITT.

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO ALLEVIATE THE TRAFFIC ISSUES THAT WE SEE ON A DAILY BASIS THERE? I DON'T THINK UNFORTUNATELY, NO, BECAUSE ANYTHING WE DO OUTSIDE OF TXDOT'S PROCESS WOULD BE TOTALLY ON OUR DIME.

RIGHT. AND SO IF WE STICK THROUGH THE PROCESS, WE CAN'T TAKE THE HOUSE DOWN BECAUSE IT HAS TO GO THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION PROCESS.

WE CAN'T REALIGN THE ROAD BECAUSE AGAIN, IT HAS TO GO THROUGH THE TXDOT PROCESS.

RIGHT. THERE'S A BRIDGE THAT HAS TO BE BUILT AS WELL.

I MEAN, ALL THESE ARE BIG TICKET ITEMS THAT IF WE DEVIATE FROM THAT PROCESS, WOULD BE OUR RESPONSIBILITY.

OKAY. AND WHAT ABOUT INTERIM SOLUTIONS ON THE EXISTING ROADWAY ITSELF? LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, HOW ABOUT SOME STOP SIGNS.

AGAIN, THAT WOULD HAVE TO TAKE A TRAFFIC STUDY WOULD BE WARRANTED.

AND AGAIN, ADDITIONAL COST AND TIME THAT WE'D HAVE TO DO FOR THAT.

BUT AGAIN, LIKE WE TALKED BEFORE, WE CAN WE WILL STILL DO ONGOING MAINTENANCE OF MERRITT ROAD, RIGHT? LIKE IF THERE'S POTHOLES THAT NEED TO BE FIXED OR CRACKS NEED TO BE FIXED, WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO THAT UNTIL WE HAVE TO.

AND THEN WE CAN START CONSTRUCTION.

YEP. AND YOU'RE A MIND READER BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING TO ASK.

WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE EXISTING ROADWAY ALONG MERRITT ROAD? IN THE INTERIM, RIGHT NOW, THERE'S A LOT OF RUTS AND STUFF THAT ARE STARTING TO FORM.

AND THE INFORMATION UNDERNEATH THE ROADWAY FROM ALL THE VEHICLES THAT TRAVEL DOWN THERE, IT'S I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'RE TO THE POINT WHERE IT HAS TO BE A COMPLETE OVERLAY, THOUGH, BUT IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO LAST WHAT THE NEW ROADWAY IS GOING TO BE.

TAKE IT, THE TWO NEW LANES WILL BE CONSTRUCTED RIGHT BESIDE OF IT.

SO PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE ON THE ROADWAY UNTIL YOU CAN SWITCH TRAFFIC TO THE OTHER SIDE.

IS THAT THE. YEAH, I THINK WE'D HAVE TO CONSIDER THAT.

BUT ACTUALLY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OUR OUR ASPHALT CONTRACTOR MEET WITH US TOMORROW AND WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT A BUNCH OF PROJECTS, BUT ONE OF THEM IS FOR MERRITT ROAD TO TO DO PATCHING AND IMPROVEMENTS ON THAT.

AWESOME. AND THE SACHSE ROAD PROJECT MAY BE COMING AT THE SAME TIME.

SO IS THERE ANY ISSUES? CAN THOSE HAPPEN PARALLEL THE WIDENING OF SACHSE ROAD THROUGH THAT AREA AND MERRITT ROAD OR IS ONE RELYING ON THE OTHER.

SO WITH THIS YOU YOU'LL SEE THIS SOON WITH THE SACHSE ROAD PHASE TWO PLANS.

WE'VE KIND OF DONE WE'VE KIND OF DONE THE WORST CASE SCENARIO WITH, WITH THE IN THE EVENT THAT MERRITT ROAD IS NOT COMPLETED FIRST, WE WILL HAVE PLANS TO DO THE SACHSE ROAD INTERSECTION WITH THE SACHSE ROAD PHASE TWO PLANS.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? MINUS THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL.

BUT WE'LL DO THE IMPROVEMENTS AND THE WIDENING.

YEAH. AND ARE THERE ANY OTHER THINGS THAT THAT WE COULD BE DOING THAT HADN'T BEEN DONE? AND I'M THINKING LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, HUDSON, WHERE DEAD ENDS, THAT KIND OF DEAD ENDS ON THE EAST SIDE OF MERRITT INTO TWO DIFFERENT PROPERTIES.

HAVE WE RESOLVED HOW THAT'S GOING TO WORK FOR THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS.

[01:00:02]

ARE THEY SHARING AN ENTRANCE AND HAS THAT BEEN WORKED OUT? SO WE'VE WORKED THROUGH THAT.

AND WE ACTUALLY WE'RE REVISING ONE OF THEIR DRIVEWAYS SO THAT IT WON'T BE DIRECTLY IN THE PATH OF EASTBOUND TRAFFIC.

SO WE'RE MOVING THE DRIVEWAY A LITTLE BIT SO THEY DON'T HAVE PEOPLE DRIVING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION THINKING IT'S A STREET.

SO WE'VE DONE ALL THAT ALREADY WITH THE DESIGN AND THROUGH THE RIGHT OF WAY NEGOTIATIONS.

BUT YEAH, WE HAVE CONSIDERED THAT.

AWESOME. AND ALONG THE ROADWAY, I KNOW THERE'S SEVERAL UTILITIES THROUGH THERE.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST ONES IS THE NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT THAT SENDS WATER DOWN TO ROWLETT AND OTHER SOUTHERN CITIES.

I THINK IT'S SOMEWHERE LIKE 7 TO 8FT WIDE PIPE ON THERE HAS THAT, OBVIOUSLY IT'S NOT BEING MOVED ON, BUT HAVE WE HAD CLEARANCE FROM THE WATER DISTRICT TO BE ABLE TO WORK AROUND THERE? THEY'VE REVIEWED OUR PLANS.

WE ACTUALLY HAVE A PERMIT THROUGH THEM WHEN WE START CONSTRUCTION.

SO THEY'RE AWARE OF EVERYTHING.

YEAH. SO AND THEN PART OF THAT'S PART OF THE DESIGN WE'VE TRIED TO ACCOMMODATE TO PRESERVE THEIR EASEMENT AS WELL.

OKAY. AND THAT PERMITS NOT SET TO EXPIRE ANYTIME SOON.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO COME. OKAY.

SO THE OTHER UTILITIES ON THERE, I THINK IT LISTED WHAT, LIKE EIGHT OR SO.

OBVIOUSLY GOT, YOU KNOW, WATER THERE.

YOU'VE ALSO GOT ELECTRICITY AND CABLE.

ARE THERE OTHER WHAT'S THE NON-UTILITY.

YOU KNOW THE NORMALLY A RESIDENT THINKS ABOUT WATER GAS YOU KNOW COMMUNICATION.

WHAT ELSE IS GOING THROUGH THAT AREA.

SO THERE'S A FARMER'S ELECTRIC AND ONCOR ELECTRIC.

AS DENNIS MENTIONED THEY'VE SUBMITTED PLANS FOR US TO REVIEW.

WE HAVE ATMOS PLANS FOR REVIEW.

WE'RE COORDINATING WITH THE TEXAS OR GARLAND POWER AND LIGHT ON THE BIG OVERHEAD TRANSMISSION LINES.

AGAIN, THE WATER AND CITY, THE SEWER.

THE CITY WILL BE RELOCATING THAT WELL, THAT WILL BE RELOCATED WITH THE PROJECT.

AGAIN, FIBER COMMUNICATION STUFF WILL HAVE TO BE RELOCATED AT SOME POINT.

YEAH. YEAH, WE HAVE TWO, TWO FIBER SPECTRUM CHARTER AND ONE OTHER FRONTIER, I GUESS.

YEAH, THAT'S PROBABLY FRONTIER.

YEAH. OKAY. THEY'RE ON OVERHEAD POLES, SO WE NEED TO GET THE POLES MOVED FIRST SO THAT THEY CAN THEN REATTACH TO THE POLES.

GOTCHA. AND I DID HAVE A QUESTION ON THE POLES.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE POLES GOING DOWN BOTH SIDES OF THE ROADWAY.

IT APPEARS TO ME ON THERE, JUST FROM MY OWN OBSERVATIONS, IS THAT FARMERS IS ONLY SERVICING ONE HOUSE THAT'S ON MERRITT ROAD. IT'S THE HOUSE THAT'S RIGHT BEFORE THE GARLAND POWER, THE HIGH TENSION POWER LINES THERE.

IS THAT ARE THERE OTHER, OTHER PROPERTIES? I'M NOT I, I THINK THAT THEY ACTUALLY GO DOWN TO HUDSON.

I KNOW THAT THEY SERVE A PORTION OF THE STATION DEVELOPMENT.

YEAH, IT APPEARS TO COME UP AND IT'S FED FROM MAYBE IT COMES UP AND I SEE THREE PHASES FEED THE STATION AND AFTER THAT IT CROSSES THE WELL, NO, THAT'S ONCOR CROSSES THE STREET THERE.

BUT THERE'S ONE LINE THAT JUST ONE PHASE THAT CONTINUES FROM THE STATION THAT'S NORTHBOUND.

AND SO CURRENTLY ON THOSE POWER POLES, THEY'RE SLATED AND I AM MY FENCE BACKS UP THERE.

BUT I ALSO OBVIOUSLY HEARD FROM, YOU KNOW, PRETTY MUCH ALL MY NEIGHBORS AS THEY'VE LOOKED AT THEIR THEY'RE LOOKING AT PUTTING THOSE POWER POLES DIRECTLY UP AGAINST OUR SCREENING WALL. AND THERE'S ALREADY A TREE LINE AND OTHER THINGS THERE.

BUT WE'RE QUESTIONING THE NEED BECAUSE THERE'S THERE APPEARS TO ONLY BE ONE PHASE OF POWER.

IT LOOKS LIKE THE COMMUNICATION LINES ARE COPPER AND THEY'VE BEEN LONG ABANDONED.

SO WE'RE JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE NEED IS TO RUN POWER POLES ON BOTH SIDES.

SO IS THERE ANY CONCESSION TO EITHER HAVING FARMERS RUN THE POWER ON THE ENCORE POLES FOR THAT SINGLE PHASE THAT SERVES, I BELIEVE. WHAT IS ONE RESIDENT UP THE STREET AND MAYBE A STREET LIGHT? AND IF NOT, IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE THAT RESIDENCE CONVERTED FROM FARMERS TO ONCOR? BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THE PROPERTY IS UNDER I BELIEVE IT'S STILL FOR SALE ON THERE.

SO IT MIGHT BE A TIME TO WORK OUT SOME KIND OF AGREEMENT.

WOULDN'T THAT SAVE THEM A LOT OF MONEY AND KEEP US FROM HAVING TO HAVE UTILITY POLES RUN DOWN BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD? YEAH, I DON'T THAT'S A BIG QUESTION.

I DON'T THEY'VE NOT MENTIONED EVER.

MAN, WE'D LIKE TO ABANDON THE LINE.

IN FACT, THEY'RE GOING TO CONSIDERABLE EXPENSE TO REPLACE IT FOR THE LIMITS OF THE PROJECT.

SO I DON'T KNOW WHETHER I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR MOTIVATION WOULD THAT WOULD BE IF, IN FACT, THEY ONLY HAD ONE PERSON NORTH, YOU KNOW, NORTH OF HUDSON.

SOUTH OF HUDSON.

YES. THEY'RE GOING TO BE AGAINST THE RIGHT OF WAY.

YEAH. TIGHTER TO THE SCREEN WALL AT HUDSON.

THEY HAVE THEY WILL ANGLE OVER TO THE EAST SIDE OF THE WATER LINE AND ACTUALLY RUN BETWEEN THE WATER LINE AND THE STREET UNTIL THEY GET DOWN TO THE STREAM CROSSING AND THEN BACK TO THE RIGHT OF WAY AGAIN.

[01:05:02]

BUT NORTH OF THE STATION PROJECT, IT APPEARS JUST ONE.

THERE'S DEFINITELY JUST A SINGLE PHASE FOR FARMERS, AND IT JUST ASTONISHES ME THAT THEY'RE SPENDING THIS MUCH MONEY TO TAKE IT UP THE ROADWAY FURTHER.

BUT I GUESS THAT'S WHAT THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO, AND I'LL INQUIRE WITH THEM THE NEXT TIME I SEE THEM.

YEAH. YEAH, THAT WOULD BE APPRECIATED ON THERE.

ANYBODY KNOW? THAT'S ALL I GOT.

I REALLY THANK YOU FOR GIVING THE TIMELINE, SHOWING HOW WE GOT HERE.

I MEAN, NOBODY LIKES IT, BUT AT LEAST, YOU KNOW, IT'S GOOD TO SIT BACK AND LOOK AT EVERYTHING THAT WENT INTO THIS PROJECT.

THERE'S AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE OVER A NUMBER OF YEARS AND CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR ALL YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS AND YOUR COMMITMENT TO STAY UNTIL IT'S FINISHED, SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT DAY.

I WILL BE OUT THERE LAYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD MAKING SNOW ANGELS OR SOMETHING OUT IN THE MIDDLE.

IF IT'S MAYBE SNOWING, THEN OKAY.

ON THAT NOTE, MR. MILLSAP IN YOUR DISCUSSION OF THE WATER CONSERVANCY DAM, THE OLD.

YES. FLOODPLAIN THERE AND YOUR DIFFERENCE IN OPINION OF TWO FEET OF ELEVATION WHERE SOMEBODY BACKED IT UP AND CAUSED IT TO GET DEEPER, OR YOU'RE SAYING MAYBE THEY DON'T HAVE.

IS THAT PRETTY MUCH SOLVED NOW? AND I GUESS WHAT I'M REALLY ASKING YOU IS IF YOU HAD ACCESS TO THE ACTUAL SOIL CONSERVATION COUNTY SOIL MAP THAT WAS PRODUCED BACK IN THE 1960S, WHEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SURVEYED ALL THE LAND IN THE UNITED STATES AND PUBLISHED IT BY COUNTY AND SHOWING WHAT IT WAS BACK THEN.

WOULD THAT HELP YOU ANY OR WOULD THAT JUST PUT ANOTHER COAL IN THE FIRE AND JUST IGNORE IT? YOU KNOW, AT THIS POINT I CAN'T CONVINCE THEM OF ANYTHING.

THEY'VE MADE UP THEIR MIND NOW.

OKAY. BECAUSE THAT, THAT THERE WAS A STRUCTURE BUILT IN THE 50S THAT ORIGINALLY CONTROLLED THE WATER SURFACE OF THE LAKE.

IT'S JUST A SQUARE CONCRETE BOX WITH A SLOT IN IT THAT'S ABOUT A FOOT AND A HALF DEEP.

IT'S GOT AN OPEN TOP. IT HAS A SLOT THAT CONTROLLED THE ELEVATION OF THE LAKE IN THE 70S.

THEY CAME BACK AND BUILT ANOTHER CONCRETE CONTROL STRUCTURE.

THE PLANS SHOW IT BEING RAISED A FOOT AND A HALF IN THE FIELD FOR SOME REASON.

AND. THE FOOT AND A HALF SLOT ON THE ORIGINAL BOX IS FULL OF CONCRETE.

IT'S OBVIOUS TO ME THAT WHEN THEY RAISED THE OTHER ONE, THEY FILLED IT IN SO THAT BOTH OF THEM WOULD OPERATE AT THE SAME ELEVATION, AND THE FOLKS AT NRCS READ THE AS BUILTS AND SAY, WELL, THEY DIDN'T MAKE THAT NOTATION EVERYWHERE OR ANYWHERE THAT THEY PUT THAT ADDITIONAL CONCRETE IN THE SLOT.

WE THINK A RESIDENT DID IT.

AND IT'S FRUSTRATING TO ME BECAUSE IF THEY REALLY THINK THAT THAT'S A FOOT AND A HALF OF FLOOD STORAGE THAT THEY'RE GIVING AWAY, THEY SHOULD GO KNOCK IT OUT AND RETURN A FOOT AND A HALF OF FLOOD STORAGE BACK TO THE FACILITY.

THE REASON. THEY'VE KNOWN IT FOR THREE YEARS NOW AND THEY HAVE NOT DONE ONE THING.

THE REASON I'M ASKING THAT IS I MIGHT HAVE ACCESS TO THE ORIGINAL SOIL CONSERVATION MAP.

WE HAVE THE PLANS FROM THE 50S AND THE OLD USDA MAP THAT WAS DONE BACK IN THE LATE 50S, EARLY 60S.

I MAY HAVE ACCESS TO THAT.

WE'VE SHOWN YOU WOULD THAT JUST THROW MORE COAL IN THE FIRE AND JUST GO WITH WHAT YOU WERE, WHAT YOU WERE I DO. OKAY.

WE'VE SHOWN THEM ALL THAT INFORMATION.

THEN I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE IT TO YOU.

OKAY. OKAY.

IN THE SPIRIT OF MOVING FORWARD, WE APPRECIATE THAT, MR. PRESTENBERG. YES.

THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

AS MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKS SAID ALL THE SAVING THE MONEY IS GREAT, BUT I DRIVE THAT EVERY MORNING AND TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL, AND IT'S A MESS. SO A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

WE TALKED EARLIER ABOUT ZONING ORDINANCES AND WHATNOT AND HOW WE PUT OUT SIGNS, POSSIBLY TO SAY, YOU KNOW, THIS IS IN THE FUTURE.

THINGS THAT WE COULD POSSIBLY DO TO DRAW ATTENTION TO ZONING, YOU KNOW, CHANGES VERSUS JUST SENDING OUT EMAILS OR SNAIL MAIL.

CAN WE DO THE SAME THING FOR THIS PROJECT RIGHT NOW AND PUT IT I KNOW WE HAVE A WEBSITE AND THAT'S GREAT, BUT LIKE A CAPTCHA OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT, THE LITTLE SCANNER THING THAT WE PEOPLE SIT THERE IN TRAFFIC AND SCAN IT AND GO, HOW LONG? HOW LONG ARE WE GOING TO BE DOING THIS RIGHT? I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY QUESTIONS I SEE ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA IS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO TAKE? WHAT'S THE CITY DOING? WHY IS IT SO BAD? WHEN IT HAS NOTHING TO DO AS WHAT I'M READING HERE AND SEEING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FOLKS SITTING UP HERE OR Y'ALL TWO OR WHATNOT.

IT'S JUST HAPPENSTANCE, YOU KNOW? AND SO THE MORE INFORMATION WE CAN GET OUT THERE, THE BETTER.

[01:10:02]

JUST SEVEN SIGNS AS YOU'RE SITTING THERE.

SCAN, SCAN, SCAN. RIGHT.

WE CAN CERTAINLY LOOK INTO THAT AGAIN LIKE WE'VE DONE THE MAILERS.

WE'VE DONE THE SOCIAL MEDIA, WE'VE DONE THE WEBSITE STUFF.

RIGHT. I MEAN, WE PUT A LOT OF INFORMATION OUT THERE, BUT WELL, THE WEBSITE IS FINE.

BUT I WOULD DO THAT WAY PEOPLE CAN GET TO IT RIGHT THEN AND THERE, YOU KNOW.

SECOND, AND THIS MIGHT BE AN UNDERTAKING THAT'S WAY TOO EXTRAORDINARY HERE.

BUT I KNOW WHEN I'M DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I SEE TO GET FROM WHERE I'M AT TO SO-AND-SO NEXT DESTINATION.

IT'S GOING TO TAKE ME 32 MINUTES BASED ON CURRENT TRAFFIC.

HAVE WE TALKED WITH, WE WORKED WITH WILEY AT ALL BECAUSE THERE'S A ROAD.

WHAT IS IT? DOMINION THAT IF PEOPLE COMING DOWN SACHSE ROAD WOULD JUST TAKE A LEFT ON DOMINION TO GO TO PLEASANT VALLEY, THEY COULD BYPASS A HUGE AMOUNT OF THAT TRAFFIC WOULD BE GREAT. IS IN THE MORNINGS IF THERE WAS A SIGN THAT SAYS, HEY, TAKE DOMINION.

SAVE YOU EIGHT MINUTES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, RIGHT? I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE THAT'S A LITTLE FAR FETCHED, BUT SOMETHING THAT WOULD ALLOW PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT THERE'S ANOTHER WAY TO GET TO GEORGE BUSH VERSUS JUST COMING DOWN AND TAKING A LEFT ON MERRITT. THAT'S JUST AN IDEA.

I MEAN, THE WHOLE THING.

NO, I DON'T KNOW IF WE COULD DO THAT OR NOT, BUT I THINK EVEN WITH THROUGH GOOGLE AND WAZE, I THINK THEY AUTOMATICALLY REDIRECT YOU IN SOME OF THAT STUFF AGAIN.

I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT HOW THAT WORKS.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A THING THAT UPDATES, YOU KNOW, EVERY HALF SECOND, BUT IT COULD JUST BE A STATIC MESSAGE THAT SAYS, SAVE TEN MINUTES.

YOU HAVE TO COLLECT THE DATA.

AND I MEAN, IT GETS PRETTY HOT TO BE COLLECTING DATA.

IT COULD JUST BE COMMON SENSE THAT.

OR YOU CAN WAIT IN THE LINE THAT GOES ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE ANIMAL SHELTER TO TAKE A LEFT, YOU KNOW? SO NEXT ON MERRITT, ARE THEY GOING TO MOVE THE MAILBOXES TO THE PROPER SIDE OF THE ROAD? YES. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. THAT'S ALL I WANT. ON YOUR PICTURE, IT STILL HAS TO BE COORDINATED WITH THE POST.

I'M SURE IT DOES. AND THAT'S GOING TO TAKE A YEAR, BUT.

OKAY. YES. THAT IS.

IS THAT SOMETHING WE CAN WORK NOW? THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT OUR PROJECT MANAGER, YOU CAN PUT ALL THESE TASKS IN PARALLEL RIGHT.

AND I'M JUST WONDERING IF THAT ONE WE CAN DO RIGHT AWAY AND AT LEAST CHECK IT OFF.

IT WOULD IT WOULD BE BEST DONE DURING CONSTRUCTION.

OKAY. BECAUSE AGAIN, JUST BECAUSE THERE COULD BE INTERIM CHANGES EVEN DURING CONSTRUCTION FOR EVEN IF.

IT WAS JUST APPROVAL THAT SAYS, YES, YOU CAN MOVE IT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD WHENEVER IT'S TIME.

THAT WAY YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT. BUT.

YEAH. OKAY.

I KNOW COUNCILMAN.

OR I'LL JUST CALL YOU CHANCE.

HE HAD MENTIONED EARLIER ABOUT A STOP SIGN THERE, AND I KNOW TRAFFIC STUDIES AND WHATNOT.

DON'T KNOW IF A STOP SIGNS.

I LEAN TOWARDS THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND LETTING US KNOW WHAT'S THE BEST WAY FROM AN IDEA OF HOW TO DIRECT TRAFFIC THERE.

BUT I KNOW AS I TAKE A RIGHT ONTO SACHSE ROAD OFF OF WOODBRIDGE PARKWAY TO GO DOWN SACHSE ROAD PEOPLE ARE STOPPING TO COME TOWARDS WOODBRIDGE ON SACHSE ROAD, STOPPING SO THAT PEOPLE CAN TAKE A LEFT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY NEAR ACCIDENTS I SEE EVERY DAY, AND I'M SURE THERE'S PLENTY OF ACCIDENTS THAT HAPPEN THERE ON THAT, ON THAT, THAT INTERSECTION.

IF WE'RE GOING TO BE LIVING THIS MESS FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS, WE'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

I MEAN, I REALIZE WE CAN'T DO CONSTRUCTION AND WE CAN'T DO ALL THAT, BUT WE HAVE TO DO EITHER OVERCOMMUNICATE OR HAVE A PAY FOR A POLICE PRESENCE THERE AT CERTAIN TIMES OF DAY.

YOU KNOW, MY PARENTS WERE DALLAS POLICE OFFICERS.

THEY USED TO WORK TRAFFIC ALL THE TIME WHEN PEOPLE GOT OUT OF CERTAIN BUILDINGS IN DOWNTOWN DALLAS, YOU KNOW, FROM 4 TO 5.

AND SO IF WE COULD SOMEHOW DO THAT OR WHATEVER, I DON'T WANT TO PUT PEOPLE AT RISK.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THE LINES ARE BACKING UP ALMOST TWO MILES TO COME, YOU KNOW, DOWN THE ROAD THEY'RE GOING TO ANIMAL SHELTER DOWN SACHSE ROAD AND THEN DOWN MERRITT THERE. I DON'T KNOW HOW FAR.

PROBABLY TO YOUR HOUSE CHANCE.

SO PEOPLE AREN'T GOING TO DEAL WITH IT FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS.

THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO. BUT WE GOT TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT AT LEAST SHOWS THAT WE'RE COMPASSIONATE COUNCIL PEOPLE, RIGHT? THAT WE UNDERSTAND THEIR PROBLEM AND WE'RE TRYING TO DEAL WITH IT.

SO THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY ABOUT THAT.

AS FAR AS I WOULD SAY.

MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKS.

SO FOLLOW UP ON YOUR PRESENTATION, ON THE FIRST PRESENTATION, ON THE SECOND SLIDE, YOU HAVE THE PROJECT SUMMARY WITH THE MAP.

THAT'S IT. SO ON THE FAR NORTH END OR EAST OR LEFT PART OF THE MAP HERE YOU HAVE AT THE INTERSECTION OF WOODBRIDGE AND SACHSE AND WHERE THE FUTURE MERRITT WILL LINE UP.

YOU HAVE POTENTIAL RESIDENTIAL DISPLACEMENT.

IS THAT THE HOME OR IS THAT THE LET'S SAY BARN SHED? THAT'S THE THAT'S THE HOME AND THE AND THE TENANT THAT WAS THERE.

SO POTENTIAL MEANING YOU CAN DESIGN AROUND THAT HOME.

[01:15:03]

RIGHT. SO WHY IS IT POTENTIAL THEN? THAT WAS THIS IS THIS IS AN OLD MAP.

HOW ABOUT DEFINITE.

WE OWN IT NOW. YES.

FORTUNATELY, FORTUNATELY THE RIGHT OF WAY LINE.

MR. SATCHERY, MR. SATCHERY, IF YOU JUST.

IF YOU TALK TO. THANK YOU.

FORTUNATELY, THE RIGHT OF WAY LINE SPLITS BETWEEN THE BARN AND THE HOUSE, SO WE DON'T HAVE TO DEMOLISH EITHER ONE TO GET OUR UTILITIES RELOCATED.

JUST CLARITY.

THANKS. MISS BUHLER.

THANK YOU BOTH FOR THE PRESENTATION AND WALKING US THROUGH THE VERY LENGTHY TIMELINE.

DENNIS, ON YOUR PRESENTATION, DID I UNDERSTAND THAT WHERE WE SETTLED THAT THEY WANT US TO LOWER THE DESIGN, WHERE IT WILL NOT ACCOMMODATE A 100 YEAR FLOOD? NO, WE'RE STILL MEETING THE 100 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN CRITERIA.

I'LL SHOW YOU A PICTURE.

WE ARE NOT MEETING THE FREEBOARD REQUIREMENTS THAT THE CITY WOULD NORMALLY APPLY TO SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

OKAY. WE HAVE TWO CONCERNS WITH REGARDS TO THAT.

OKAY. AGAIN WE HAVE TWO CONCERNS WITH REGARDS TO FLOW AT THE CROSSING.

ONE IS CONVEYANCE.

SO THERE'S A WATERSHED UPSTREAM.

AND IT'S GOT A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF WATER AND THAT THAT'S GOING TO RISE TO A CERTAIN LEVEL DURING THE NORMAL COURSE OF A RAINFALL EVENT.

SO, WE HAVE PLENTY OF FREE BOARD TO THAT EVENT.

IT'S THE BACKUP FROM THE LAKE THAT WE ARE BASICALLY SETTING THE TOP OF PAVEMENT AT TWO FOOT ABOVE THE SPILLWAY, OR THAT THAT 100 YEAR MARK, AND WE FEEL LIKE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST IT'S JUST NOT LIKELY TO HAPPEN VERY OFTEN.

IT IS AN EARTHEN SPILLWAY, YOU KNOW, AND UNLESS THEY CHANGE THAT, THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THAT WOULD GO THROUGH A 100 YEAR EVENT AND REMAIN INTACT TO ME IS PRETTY SLIM.

YOU KNOW, AND IT'S DESIGNED ACCORDINGLY.

SO I, YOU KNOW, I FEEL LIKE IT WE ARE PROVIDING VIRTUALLY THE SAME LEVEL OF FLOOD PROTECTION TO PEOPLE USING THE ROADWAY WITH THIS PARTICULAR DESIGN.

IT'S JUST NOT IT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN CUSTOMARY FREEBOARD THAT WE WOULD GIVE IT.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE GENTLEMAN.

JUST HOLD YOUR THOUGHT THERE. I HAVE A SPEAKER'S CARD.

MR. HOBOKE.

MARTY HOBOKE, 5511 OAK RIDGE CIRCLE, TOP OF THE HILL.

Y'ALL HAVE IGNORED THE PROBLEM BETWEEN MERRITT AND WOODBRIDGE FOR 25 YEARS, SO WHY WORRY ABOUT IT NOW? AND IF IT'S SUCH A BIG DEAL, BRING IT UP AGAIN.

ASK CONSTANTLY.

DON'T JUST DO A DOG AND PONY SHOW WHEN THE CAMERA'S HERE.

I SEED ANY SORT OF QUESTIONS TO THE GREAT KNOWLEDGE AND FORBEARANCE OF MR. DENNIS SATCHERY HERE.

HE'S A HELL OF AN ENGINEER.

TRUST HIM AND RUN.

THERE'S PLENTY OF, PLENTY OF FRUSTRATION.

AND I ALSO KIND OF FIND IT FUNNY THAT YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT EXISTING MERRITT AND SACHSE WHEN I HAVE PLENTY OF EMAILS THAT SAY, THE GREAT STATE OF TEXAS SAYS YOU HAVE TO DRIVE TO THE CONDITIONS THAT YOU'RE IN.

SO ONCE AGAIN, YOU'RE MAKING GREAT NOISE.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

YOU'RE GOING TO SPEND A WHOLE LOT MORE MONEY, WHICH I DO BELIEVE YOU ARE GOING TO OVERLAY.

MAYBE SACHSE MERRITT WILL GET ANOTHER ONE BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR TEN YEARS.

SO YOU CAN SHOW SOME ANGST OVER HERE.

MR. FRANKS.

BUT WHY DON'T YOU DO SOMETHING INSTEAD OF JUST SIT THERE? THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. HOBOKE. ANY OTHER REQUESTS TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? ALL RIGHT. HEARING NONE.

WE HAVE TIME FOR DISCUSSION.

THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM.

SO WE WILL NEED TO TAKE ACTION ON THE REQUEST FOR THE CHANGE ORDER.

QUESTIONS? COMMENTS. MOTIONS.

F2. F2 AS PRESENTED.

THAT'S WHAT I GOT.

MISS GRANGER.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THIS. THESE NEXT TWO ITEMS ARE BOTH FOR THE APPRAISAL DISTRICTS, FOR DALLAS AND COLLIN COUNTIES.

AND TO THIS POINT WE HAVE YOU HAVE HAD AN ELECTION FOR THIS BOARD MEMBER EACH YEAR STARTING THIS YEAR.

THE SENATE BILL, NUMBER TWO, WAS SIGNED INTO LAW AND HAS CHANGED THE METHOD FOR VOTING AND NOMINATIONS AND ALL THAT FOR BOTH COUNTIES.

SO YOU HAVE IN YOUR PACKET A BALLOT.

SACHSE HAS 13 VOTES FOR COLLIN COUNTY TO DISTRIBUTE AS YOU SEE FIT.

THANK YOU, MISS GRANGER.

QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL.

AND I WOULD NOTE IN THE STAFF REPORT, WE HAVE TWO VERY FINE NOMINEES THAT SIT ON THIS DAIS UP HERE.

SO JUST SAY THAT MISS GRANGER AND WE CAN SPLIT VOTES.

CORRECT. YOU MAY.

YOU MAY PUT THEM ALL TO ONE OR SPLIT THEM AS MANY AS YOU LIKE.

OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU.

QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL? MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKS.

YEAH. IT'D BE MY PREFERENCE THAT WE DON'T SPLIT.

YEAH, JUST THE OTHER. Y'ALL CAN HAVE A CAGE MATCH OR A FAKE TYSON FIGHT OR WHATEVER Y'ALL WANT TO DO ABOUT IT, BUT THAT'S MY PREFERENCE.

OKAY, MISS BUHLER.

I PUT MY FULL SUPPORT BEHIND COUNCILWOMAN HOWARTH.

WELL, WHO SAW THAT COMING? OKAY. THANK YOU, MISS BUHLER.

OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? MISS HOWARTH? YEAH, I KNOW HOW.

I KNOW HOW FAR THAT'LL GET ME IN COLLIN COUNTY WITH OUR 13 VOTES, WHEN I THINK THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE ABOUT 275.

SO BUT I'M HAPPY TO TAKE IT.

EVERY VOTE COUNTS.

OKAY. ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL ON THIS ITEM? ANYONE WISH TO ADDRESS THIS ITEM FROM THE AUDIENCE? SEEING NONE.

MOTIONS. MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKS I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPOINT OR WE CAST.

MR. PRESTENBERG. SECOND.

SECOND BY MR. PRESTENBERG.

AGAIN, THE MOTION IS TO CAST OUR VOTES.

ALL 13 OF THEM FOR MISS HOWARTH.

QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? HEARING NONE. PLEASE CAST YOUR BALLOT.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

CONGRATULATIONS TO MS. HOWARTH.

GOOD LUCK IN THE GENERAL ELECTION.

NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM FOUR.

[4. Consider approving a resolution of the City Council of the City of Sachse, casting its vote for a member of the Board of Directors of the Dallas Central Appraisal District; and providing for an effective date.]

AGAIN, I KNOW, MR. GRANGER, YOU ADDRESSED THIS.

ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD? YES. FOR THE DALLAS COUNTY, WE HAVE TEN.

YOU HAVE TEN VOTES TO DISTRIBUTE.

THAT'S THE ONLY DIFFERENCE. NOT 13.

NO. AND NOT THAT THERE'S A APPETITE TO DO IT, BUT I'M ASSUMING AGAIN, YOU COULD.

YES, YOU MAY SUBMIT ALL VOTES FOR ONE OR SPLIT THEM AS YOU SEE FIT.

OKAY. JUST FOR THE RECORD.

THANK YOU, MS. GRANGER. OKAY.

AGAIN, AS THE STAFF REPORT MENTIONS PART OF IT, THAT WOULD BE.

YES. QUESTIONS? COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL ON WHO WE WANT TO VOTE FOR.

OR ASSIGN OUR VOTES, I SHOULD SAY.

MR. PRESTENBERG. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE.

I DO HAVE A SPEAKER'S CARD.

OH. WE DO. OH, YOU DIDN'T TELL ME THAT.

OKAY. WITH THAT, MR. HOBOKE. HOLD THAT THOUGHT.

HOLD THAT THOUGHT.

MARTY HOBOKE, 5511 OAK RIDGE CIRCLE, TOP OF THE HILL.

ONCE AGAIN, I GOT PLENTY OF EMAILS THAT SAY IF I DON'T LIKE MY CITY TAXES, TALK TO THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

IT'S THEIR FAULT.

I JUST WANT EVERYBODY TO MAKE SURE THEY REALIZE THAT THE APPRAISAL DISTRICTS DON'T SET MY TAXES.

THEY PUT A VALUE ON MY HOUSE.

SO IF Y'ALL PUT AS MUCH EFFORT INTO LOWERING MY TAXES INSTEAD OF TRYING TO GET ON A BOARD SO YOU CAN BE ANOTHER BOBBLE

[01:25:05]

IT'S Y'ALL'S VOTE.

IT'S NOT THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

THEY GIVE YOU INFORMATION THAT YOU USE.

YOU HAVE AN AWARD WINNING ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT OVER HERE THAT YOU BRAG ABOUT ALL THE TIME.

I'M SURE THEY WOULD REINFORCE THE FACT THAT WHEN YOU TELL ME HOW MUCH I GOT TO PAY IN TAXES, IT'S Y'ALL.

IT'S NOT THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

SO BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. HOBOKE. OKAY.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION FROM COUNCIL? I KNOW MR. PRESTENBERG WAS GOING TO MAKE A MOTION.

OKAY. GO AHEAD, MR. PRESTENBERG.

I DON'T WANT TO DO IT.

NO, NOBODY'S GOING TO MAKE YOU.

I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CAST OR FOR ITEM F FOUR THAT, WE CAST OUR TEN BALLOTS OR TEN BALLOTS FOR COUNCILMAN MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKS.

MOTION BY MR. PRESTENBERG TO CAST OUR NUMBER OF VOTES ALLOCATED TO THE CITY OF SACHSE BEING TUNED FOR MR. MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKS.

MR. MAYOR, PRO TEM FRANKS.

EXCUSE ME. MISS HOWARTH, SECOND.

SECOND BY MISS HOWARTH. I WAS TRYING TO GIVE YOU TOO MANY TITLES.

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

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

CONGRATULATIONS, MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKS.

GOOD LUCK IN YOUR JOURNEY.

NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM.

[5. Discuss and consider appointments to the City's boards and commission.]

DISCUSS AND CONSIDER APPOINTMENTS TO THE CITY'S BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS.

MISS GRANGER HAS A SUMMARY FOR US.

GO RIGHT AHEAD. YES, SIR.

WE HAD IN ON OCTOBER 15TH.

YOU HAD A SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING TO INTERVIEW AND MAKE APPOINTMENTS FOR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS.

AND DURING THAT MEETING, YOU ALL DISCUSSED MR. CHRIS ALVAREZ FOR THE MDT BOARD HE HAD BEEN INTERESTED IN REAPPOINTMENT.

AN ERROR SCRIVENER'S ERROR LEFT HIM OFF OF THAT APPOINTMENT LIST.

SO WE JUST. I'M ASKING TONIGHT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO REAPPOINT HIM TO THE MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT BOARD.

AND ON TOP OF THAT, THERE WAS ONE INTERVIEWEE THAT YOU HAD THAT NIGHT.

THE OTHER APPLICANTS WERE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND THAT MEETING.

I'VE BEEN UNABLE TO SECURE ANOTHER DATE FOR THEM.

SO THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO DISCUSS WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO, EITHER WITH THAT ONE INTERVIEWEE OR FOR THE MOVING FORWARD.

SO IF I UNDERSTAND YOU CORRECTLY, WE REALLY HAVE TWO ITEMS. TWO THINGS TO CONSIDER.

ONE IS THE REAPPOINTMENT TO THE MTD.

AND THEN IF WE WANT TO APPOINT HER TO YES IF WE SO IF AND YES IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO APPOINT HER TO ANY OF THE OTHER VACANCIES, EITHER OR BOTH OR NONE.

YES. OKAY. ALL OF THE ABOVE.

ALL THE ABOVE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS GRANGER.

QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL.

OR DISCUSSION? WELL, WHILE WE WAIT ON THAT, IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS ITEM? OKAY, GOT THAT OUT OF THE WAY. OKAY, MISS HOWARD.

I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM REAPPOINTING MR. ALVAREZ. OKAY.

I THINK WE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE DONE THAT IF WE HAD KNOWN WE HAD MISSED IT.

RIGHT. AND WHERE ELSE DO WE HAVE.

I KNOW WE HAVE ONE EDC VACANCY.

WHAT ELSE DO WE HAVE? YES. YOU HAVE A VACANCY ON THE EDC BOARD, THE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD.

THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL VACANCY ON THE MDT BOARD AND THEN ONE ON THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS.

ONE. ONE. OKAY, SO WE CAN OMIT.

AND MISS GRANGER, I'M ASSUMING IF WE SO CHOSE, WE COULD TAKE THESE ONE ITEM AT A TIME.

YES. YOU MAY MAKE SEPARATE MOTIONS OKAY OR.

YEAH, JUST TRY TO KEEP IT SIMPLE.

OKAY. I'LL MAKE A MOTION THEN.

TO APPOINT MR. ALVAREZ.

REAPPOINT MR. ALVAREZ TO THE BOARD.

OKAY. MOTION BY YOU, MAYOR.

EXCUSE ME, MISS HOWARTH TO APPOINT MR. ALVAREZ TO THE MTD BOARD.

YEAH, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? MISS BUHLER SECOND.

I HAVE A SECOND BY MISS BUHLER.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? OKAY, IF NOT, PLEASE CATCH A BALLOT.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY, MISS.

MR. ALVAREZ IS REAPPOINTED TO THE MTD.

MISS BUHLER. I THINK MISS SAFTY WOULD BE A GREAT FIT FOR THE PARKS BOARD.

I AGREE, I THOUGHT SHE DID A REALLY GOOD JOB IN HER INTERVIEW.

I KNOW, ABSOLUTELY. YEAH.

SO I WOULD CONCUR WITH THAT.

FURTHER DISCUSSION OR MOTIONS?

[01:30:05]

MISS BUHLER, IF THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPOINT MISS COWLEY SAFTY FOR THE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD.

MOTION BY MISS BUHLER.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? MISS HOWARTH SECOND.

I HAVE A SECOND BY MISS HOWARD.

DID YOU? DID YOU NEED TO TALK? OKAY. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? IF NOT, WHEN MISS GRANGER IS READY, PLEASE CAST YOUR BALLOT.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

SO WITH THAT, MISS GRANGER, CAN YOU SUMMARIZE AGAIN WITH THOSE TWO DECISIONS WHAT'S LEFT? YES. YOU'LL STILL HAVE A VACANCY ON THE EDC BOARD.

THE MDD BOARD AND THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS.

AND BASED ON YOUR PREVIOUS COMMENT.

IN ESSENCE, WE AT SOME POINT WE'D HAVE TO SCHEDULE ANOTHER MEETING TO DO MORE INTERVIEWS IF I CAN GET SOME APPLICANTS.

WELL, RIGHT. BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS WE'RE KIND OF BACK AT SQUARE ONE IN THE SENSE THAT THOSE VACANCIES, WE REALLY GOT TO START OUR PROCESS AGAIN.

YES. OKAY. I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER.

DON'T HAVE ANYTHING WAITING IN THE WINGS.

GOTCHA. OKAY. THANK YOU, MISS GRANGER.

OKAY. NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM G.

[G. Executive Session]

AT THIS TIME, THE COUNCIL WILL ADJOURN INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.

THERE WILL NOT BE ANY ACTION RESULTING FROM THIS EXECUTIVE SESSION, AND THE COUNCIL WILL NOT BE RECONVENING BACK INTO REGULAR SESSION.

THE TIME MS. GRANGER 8:01 P.M.

08:01. THANK YOU, MISS GRANGER.

WE ARE NOW CONVENED INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.
