CITY OF SAXE AND PARKS AND RECREATION, UM, THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT AND, UH, THING THAT YOU GUYS DO FOR OUR STUDENTS TO JUST ORGANIZE THIS AND TEACH THEM ABOUT RECYCLING AND CREATING ARTWORK OUT OF WHAT PEOPLE PERCEIVE TO BE JUNK.

SO, UH, CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF THEM.

OKAY, NEXT ITEM ON THE

[C. Public Comment]

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

COMMENTS REGARDING THE CONSENT AGENDA OR ANY DISCUSSION.

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'S PROHIBITED FROM DISCUSSING ANY ITEM NOT POSTED ON THE AGENDA, BUT WILL TAKE COMMENTS UNDER ADVISEMENT.

I DO, WE ONLY HAVE SEVERAL SPEAKER CARDS.

AND AGAIN, UH, PER THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT, UH, WE CANNOT ACT ON ANYTHING, BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY LISTEN TO WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY TONIGHT.

UH, WITH THAT, THE FIRST CARD I HAVE IS JANE REED DISTRICT, DISORGANIZED, JUST AS USUAL.

UM, JANE REE 2 2 0 4 CORNWALL LANE AXE.

UM, ON OCTOBER 20TH, I HAD SUBMITTED A PUBLIC SPEAKING FORM, EVEN THOUGH I WAS OUT OF TOWN.

UM, I ASKED THAT

[00:15:01]

IT BE PRESENTED, UM, FOR SOME REASON IT BY ACCIDENT, IT DID NOT GET, UM, INTO THE, THE MINUTES.

SO I'M GONNA JUST QUICKLY READ WHAT IT WAS JUST AS I'M OUTTA TOWN, BUT I ASK THAT MY COMMENT ON THE TOPIC BE READ.

UM, I'M JUST GONNA PARAPHRASE THE LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING THAT WAS DISCUSSED IN THE EXECUTIVE SESSION ABOUT PURCHASING THE PROPERTY ON 4,400 RANCH ROAD.

I WAITED UNTIL AFTER THE MEETING TO FIND OUT WHAT AND WHERE, WHAT AND WHERE WAS BEING PURCHASED.

THERE SEEMED TO BE A LITTLE CONFUSION ON THE EXACT ADDRESS.

UM, I WAS TOLD THE ADDRESS AND I DID ASK FOR THE PURPOSE, AND I WAS TOLD BY MR. BIGGERSTAFF THAT I WOULD NEED TO FILE AN OPEN RECORDS REQUEST FOR THAT PURPOSE.

IT MAKES, IT APPEARS, IN MY OPINION, THE CITY OF SAXES BUYING THIS LAND TO KEEP FOR A STRIP CENTER FROM BEING BUILT THERE.

LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, VAPE SHOP, UM, CBED SHOP.

UM, I JUST ASKED HOW COULD THIS LAND HAVE ALREADY BEEN PENDING ON ZILLOW PRIOR TO THE EXECUTIVE MEETING AND THE MEETING TONIGHT? UM, THE VALUE THAT LAND, UM, IS IT 960? THIS IS ON ZILLOW PRICE.

UH, BUT A YEAR AGO ON SEPTEMBER OF 2024, THAT PRICE WAS ONLY 3 95.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A DISCREPANCY WITH THAT.

UM, THE CITY MANAGER, I SAID THE CITY HAS MANY OTHER STREETS AND REPAIRS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.

UM, SO THE NEXT, SO THEN I DID SOME RESEARCH, UM, WHEN I GOT HOME FROM MY VACATION AND, UM, WELL, AND I, I DID TONIGHT TOO.

AND, UM, LET ME SEE, I, YES THERE, I GUESS THERE WAS A-M-M-D-D MEETING.

I'M NOT SURE IF I HAVE ALL THESE.

THERE WAS A MDD MEETING ON 10 16, WHICH MS. LAUREN ROSE SPOKE TO THE BOARD, UM, SAYING THAT THERE WAS A UNIQUE, I GUESS THEY WENT TO THE CITY, UM, THAT THERE WAS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY THIS PROPERTY BEHIND THE PARK AND SAID THAT THEY NOTICED A NEW, UM, BROKER, WELL THE BROKER THAT'S HAD THAT, UH, PIECE OF LAND HAS BEEN THE BROKER FOR THE LAST YEAR.

SO THERE WAS NO CHANGE.

UM, AND ALSO THERE, I THINK THAT LAND IS ZONED FOR I TWO.

UM, I GUESS I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT ALSO THERE'S RE RE RE RE CAN'T SAY THE WORD RE MEDIATION ISSUES.

AND I'M WONDERING WHAT THOSE ISSUES ARE, UM, BEFOREHAND, YOU KNOW, THAT HAD, HAS THAT COME OUT.

SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU MS. REED.

NEXT CARD I HAVE IS AMBER HOUSLEY.

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

YEAH, SO MY NAME IS AMBER HOUSELY.

I LIVE AT 5,300 THE STATION BOULEVARD.

I'VE LIVED IN SAXY ALMOST FIVE YEARS, UH, SPECIFICALLY THE STATION AREA.

I'VE, UH, BEEN PRESENT TO WITNESS THE GROWTH OF THE AREA WITH MULTIPLE APARTMENT COMPLEXES AND HOME BUILD OUTS, AS WELL AS, UH, HERITAGE PARK.

THE RENOVATION OF HERITAGE PARK, THE MEDIAN AGE OF SAXY RESIDENCE IS 38 YEARS WITH A MIX OF YOUNG FAMILIES, PROFESSIONALS, AND LONG-TERM RESIDENTS.

LOOKING AHEAD, SSI HAS PROJECTED TO EXPERIENCE STEADY GROWTH THROUGH 2029 WITH THE POPULATION EXPECTED TO GROW AT AN ANNUAL RATE OF 1.65% OUTPACING BOTH THE STATE AND THE NATION.

WHILE THIS IS A VIBRANT AREA, IT IS ALSO A HAZARDOUS AREA FOR RESIDENTS, DRIVERS, AND PEDESTRIANS.

REFERENCING THE SAXY MAS, EXCUSE ME, THE SAXY MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN THAT WAS ADOPTED IN MARCH, 2017.

THE STATION IS A MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT TO INCLUDE RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL, AND PUBLIC SPACES LOCATED PRIMARILY BETWEEN MILES ROAD AND MERRI ROAD THAT FOSTER A VIBRANT AND ENGAGING COMMUNITY.

THE STATION CURRENTLY INCLUDES RETAIL SHOPS, RESTAURANTS, AND OFFICES THAT ARE ANCHORED BY MEDICAL CITY SAXE AND WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND GROW IN SIZE.

THE PUBLIC SPACES AND AMENITIES ARE DESIGNED TO PROMOTE WALKABILITY AND COMMUNITY INTERACTION.

THE VISION OF THIS AREA IS A BUSINESS AND SOCIAL HUB WITHIN THE CITY TO SERVE AS A REGIONAL GATEWAY TO SAXE, TO CREATE A WELCOMING SENSE OF ACTIVITY WITH A MIX OF BUSINESSES, RESTAURANTS, AND RETAIL ALONG THE TURNPIKE AND PUBLIC AMENITIES

[00:20:01]

LIKE HERITAGE PARK, WITH SAFE WALKING ROUTES TO THE SURROUNDING AREAS.

THE PLAN ALSO HIGHLIGHTS THE MOBILITY PLAN AND THE IMPORTANCE IN SAXE THAT IS NOT LIMITED TO MOVING VEHICLES ACROSS THE CITY.

LAND USE PARKS AND TRAILS INFRASTRUCTURE AND MORE ARE ALL RELATED TO MOBILITY, IN EFFECT HOW ROADS AND OTHER FEATURES ARE DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED TO MOVE VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS AROUND THE COMMUNITY SAFELY AND EFFICIENTLY.

AS THE CITY CONTINUES TO GROW AND THE MINOR ATRIAL ATRIAL ROADS AROUND THE STATION EXPAND, IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE STATION BOULEVARD, A MINOR ATRIAL ROAD AND THE SMALLER RESIDENTIAL STREETS WILL TAKE ON EVEN MORE TRAFFIC AS PART OF THE, AS PART OF S'S PRIORITIES, EX, EXCUSE ME, AS PART OF THE SAX PRIORITIES EXERCISE, WHICH ALLOWED THE COMMUNITY TO VOICE AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK.

DURING MULTIPLE ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS, RESIDENTS HIGHLIGHTED CONCERN REGARDING CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC IN THE CITY, INCLUDING YOUR LOCAL NEIGHBORHOODS, ROAD MAINTENANCE AND PEDESTRIAN INFRASTRUCTURE WERE THE TOP TWO PRIORITIES WITH THE COMMUNITY EXPRESSING A DESIRE FOR PEDESTRIAN SAFETY AND INVESTMENTS, INCLUDING MORE SIDEWALKS AND BIKE TRAILS, IMPROVING CONNECTIVITY AND WAYS TO GET AROUND.

I SEE THAT I ONLY HAVE 20 SECONDS LEFT, SO I REALLY WANNA CUT TO WHY WE'RE HERE.

UM, ACTION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN ALONG, UH, CERTAIN ROADS WITHIN THE STATION.

THE STATION BOULEVARD BETWEEN PLEASANT VALLEY AND, AND MILES ROAD.

THE, THE LIMITED VISIBILITY OF THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT SIGNS IS OBSTRUCTED BY LANDSCAPING AS ARE FOUR-WAY STOPS.

UH, MS, HOW YOU OUTTA TIME? I'LL LET YOU FINISH YOUR THOUGHT.

BOULEVARD, MAY WALK SAFELY AND ENJOY THE COMMUNITY.

AS ARE THE FOUR-WAY STOPS TO INCLUDE THE, THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK ON, UM, THE STATION BOULEVARD.

IN ADDITION, THE FEEDER ROAD THAT CONNECTS INTO THE STATION BOULEVARD HAS A, HAS AN INTERSECTION AT, UH, THE COMMONS AND, OH, MY MIND JUST COMPLETELY DREW A BLANK.

THAT'S OKAY.

UH, THE COMMONS AND WHAT WAS IT? UNION.

UNION.

THERE'S A CITY PARK THERE AND AT THIS VERY BUSY INTERSECTION AND IT'S ONLY A TWO-WAY STOP SIGN.

WE'RE WE'RE ASKING THAT THE CITY MAKE THAT A FOUR-WAY STOP SIGN TO BETTER INCREASE SAFETY FOR THE PEDESTRIANS THAT CROSS THAT BUSY CROSSWALK, NOT ONLY TO GET TO THE CITY PARK, BUT ALSO KIDS WALKING TO SCHOOL AS WELL AS TO HERITAGE PARK.

UH, THANK YOU MS. HOUSE AND WE DO HAVE YOUR INFORMATION THAT YOU, SO THANK YOU.

NEXT CARD I HAVE IS SUSAN DAVIS.

GOOD EVENING.

I WANNA SAY THANK YOU TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND TO THE PRO 10 MAYOR AND THE CITY COUNCIL, THE CITY MANAGER AND THE SECRETARY FOR LETTING US SPEAK THIS EVENING.

UM, I'M HERE ON THE SAME SIMILAR TOPIC.

UM, I'M HERE AS A FRIEND AND REPRESENTING THE FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND THE LOSS OF OUR FRIEND BARBARA WOODS, WHO TRAGICALLY LOST HER LIFE.

ON OCTOBER 25TH, SHE RECITED AT OUR AMERIC, UH, AMBER LYNN 55 PLUS COMMUNITY, LOCATED AT THE STATION BOULEVARD.

SHE WALKED THIS ROUTE FOR THREE YEARS, WALKING HER DOG MIA, UP AND DOWN STATION BOULEVARD AND WAS WELL ACQUAINTED WITH IT.

SHE UTILIZED THE LOT, FLASHING YELLOW LIGHTS TO CROSS THE STREET.

UNFORTUNATELY, IN A VERY TRAGIC ACCIDENT, WE HAD A HIT AND RUN AND THE DRIVER TOOK OFF AND HIT BARB AND HIT MIA.

BARB LOST HER LIFE THAT LA DAY BECAUSE OF THIS DRIVER, AND WE KNOW THAT THEY'RE MAINLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ISSUE.

THE GOOD NEWS IS MIA WAS LOCATED AND I JUST, I DON'T KNOW HER NAME, BUT I WANNA SAY THANK YOU.

THANK YOU TO THE WOMAN WHO FOUND HER ON HER PORCH TWO MILES AWAY, INJURED, AND SHE IS HEALED AND LIVING WITH HER, UH, DAUGHTER JENNIFER, WHO'S WITH US TONIGHT.

AND HER SON, UH, DANNY IS ALSO HERE.

I WANNA THANK HER AND HER FAM.

I WANNA THANK THE QUICK RESPONDING SEXY POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE EMS, THE ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICERS FOR ALL THEIR HEARTFELT EFFORTS THAT MORNING.

THE USE OF DRONES AND WALKING THE CREEK BEDS, PARKS, AND NEIGHBORHOODS.

IN AN ENDLESS EFFORT TO FIND MIA WAS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED AS WELL AS A COURSE THE MEDICAL TEAM THAT HELPED, UM, TO TRY AND SAVE BARB.

NOW WE MUST MOVE FORWARD.

LIFE DOES GO ON, BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE CHANGES AND WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.

WE NEED IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE ON STATION BOULEVARD, OTHERWISE KNOWN BY SOME OF US AS MARY ANDRETTI FREEWAY.

AND I AM A NASCAR AND RACES CAR FAN, SO THAT'S THE REFERENCE I MYSELF HAVE CALLED THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SEVERAL TIMES ASKING FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THOSE WHO SPEED EVERY DAY.

HOWEVER, WE NEED, NOT JUST MORE PATROLLING, WE NEED SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS SO THAT THE RESIDENCES IN ALL OF THE COMPLEXES, WHICH BORDER THE STATION

[00:25:01]

WE ARE REQUESTING AN ACTION PLAN BY THE CITY TO MAKE THE FOLLOWING IMPROVEMENTS AND PROVIDE A TIMELINE ON THE EXECUTION OF THE ACTION PLAN.

ONE, WE NEED PAINTED AND CROSSWALKS.

JUST COLORED BRICK IS NOT A CROSSWALK.

WE NEED STOP SIGNS WITH FLASHING RED LIGHTS AS WE HAVE ELSEWHERE IN THE CITY.

WARNING PEOPLE TO STOP, NOT JUST YELLOW WARNING LIGHTS.

WE NEED ADDITIONAL SPEED LIMIT SIGNS THAT CAN BE EASILY SEEN AND NOT CURRENTLY HIDDEN BEHIND TREES.

LANDSCAPING IMPROVEMENTS NEED TO BE DONE TO REMOVE VISUAL IMPEDIMENTS OVER MISSTATE.

YOUR TIME IS UP, BUT I'LL LET YOU FINISH, I'LL LET YOU FINISH YOUR THOUGHT.

UH, IT'S JUST OVERGROWN PLANTS AND, UM, TRIMMING OF TREES SHOULD BE THE EASY SOLUTION.

WE NEED THESE ADDRESSED JUST SO THAT WE CAN MAKE IT A SAFER ENVIRONMENT FOR EVERYONE.

AND I JUST WANNA SAY WE'RE AMBERLY.

WE ARE AN ACTIVE SENIOR LIVING CENTER AND IT ISN'T, UH, A RETIREMENT HOME.

SO WE'RE OUT WALKING, BIKING, USING THE TRAILS AND WE WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR FOCUS AND HELP ON GETTING THIS DONE.

MICHAEL QUINN, 4 6 1 5, THE STATION BOULEVARD.

MS. DAVIS, DO YOU NEED, DO YOU NEED THIS? UH, I THINK WE HAVE IT.

UH, WELL, I DON'T, YEAH, OKAY.

I DON'T THINK IT'S, WE HAVE YOUR CARD.

AND SHE'LL MAKE SURE WE GET A COPY OF EVERYTHING.

UH, NEXT CARD I HAVE IS MICHAEL O QUIN.

IF YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR REAL .

UM, I'M ONE OF, I GUESS SEVERAL PEOPLE SPEAKING ABOUT THE SAME TOPIC AND, UH, I'VE BEEN INFORMED I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND A WHOLE LOT OF TIME BEEN INFORMED BY MS. GRANGER BACK IN HERE.

UH, THAT, UH, BOTH THE CITY MANAGER AND, UH, PUBLIC WORKS AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ARE WORKING ON THE SOLUTION FOR THIS.

SO IT'S POSSIBLY GOING TO BE BY, BUT A COUPLE OF SUGGESTIONS BACK IN HERE.

LIKE SUSAN HAD JUST MENTIONED, UH, THE CROSSWALK THAT SHE WAS ON WAS INITIATED, BUT IT HAS YELLOW FLASHING LIGHTS AND EVERY DRIVER KNOWS THAT YELLOW MEANS SPEED UP AND GET OUT BEFORE IT TURNS RED.

UM, THE OTHER LOCATIONS THAT TRY TO DO THIS IN THE METROPLEX, UH, BASICALLY USE RED LIGHTS AND THEY PRESS THE BUTTON FLASHES THREE TIMES AND THEN IT SOLID RED, EVERYBODY STOPS.

UH, BUT THE, UM, BRICK AND LAID CROSSWALKS, UH, THAT, UH, BARBARA HAD TRIED TO CROSS, THERE ARE TWO OTHERS THAT ARE ON, UH, THE STATION BOULEVARD.

UH, BOTH OF THOSE OTHERS HAVE STOP SIGNS.

THEY'RE FOUR-WAY STOPS AND EVERYBODY STOPS THERE AND THERE HAS BEEN NO FATALITY AT THOSE OTHER LOCATIONS.

UM, ALSO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT DID WAS TO PUT A SPEED MONITORING DEVICE, WHICH TOLD YOUR SPEED ACCORDING TO THE SPEED LIMIT.

AND IT'S BEEN REAL GOOD.

BUT, UH, I WATCHED THAT THING AS I COME DOWN AND IT'S EXCEEDED ALL THE TIME, BUT THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER SEEN A SPEED LIMIT SIGN OF 30 MILES AN HOUR ON THE STATION BOULEVARD.

UH, WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO POST A SPEED LIMIT SIGN THERE.

ANYWAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU MR. QUINN.

EXCUSE ME.

THAT'S ALL THE SPEAKER'S CARDS I HAVE.

DOES ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL DURING PUBLIC COMMENT? YES, SIR.

MARTY HOBO 55 11 OAK RIDGE CIRCLE, TOP OF THE HILL.

UM, WHO HERE LISTENS TO JOSH TURNER? 'CAUSE WE GOT A RAILROAD THEME WORKING HERE.

UM, WENT TO AN EDC MEETING LAST MONTH AND THERE'S A TRAIN WRECK COMING.

Y'ALL COMMISSIONED A $300,000 SURVEY TO JUSTIFY A $7 MILLION PROJECT THAT'S GOING NOWHERE.

AND THEY SAID YOU'RE DOING IT ALL WRONG.

THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL THAT WAS UP HERE THE OTHER DAY OR A COUPLE MEETINGS BACK TALKING ABOUT GEORGE BUSH AND SAID, WHY ARE YOU PUTTING ANOTHER GAS STATION OUT THERE? WELL, YOUR $300,000 CONSULTANT SAID WE HAVE TOO MANY SERVICE ENTRY JOBS.

SO INSTEAD OF PAYING $300,000 TO HER AND $40,000 RAISE FOR YOUR EDC MANAGER THAT YOU CAN'T JUSTIFY AND BUYS HALF A CAR, WHY DON'T WE GIVE HER A SCHOLARSHIP? Y'ALL

[00:30:01]

WASTE MONEY AND NOBODY UP HERE CAN TELL ME WHAT THE EDC DOES.

I'VE ASKED, YOU HAVEN'T ANSWERED AN EMAIL.

SO WHERE ARE WE HEADING? 'CAUSE WE'RE JUST SPIRALING DOWN.

LAST MEETING, YOU LOST $7 MILLION AND YOU HAD A WHOLE BUNCH OF, OH, IT'S NOT OUR FAULT, IT'S NOT OUR FAULT FOR MERIT ROAD.

IT'S A LINE, LINE OF CRAP.

YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT PROJECT HAS BEEN GOING FOREVER.

YOUR CITY ENGINEER STANDS UP HERE AND SAID THERE'S DESIGN CHANGES.

WHY WERE YOU NOT RUNNING A NEW COST ESTIMATE EVERY SIX MONTHS YOU'VE BEEN SAYING THAT, OH, COVID IS HERE.

COVID HAS BEEN GONE FOR THREE YEARS.

YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD AN UPDATED COST ESTIMATE.

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN COMING IN HERE AND SAYING, WE'RE $7 MILLION SHORT.

YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.

AND Y'ALL SITTING UP HERE WHINING ABOUT IT, DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM.

WHO IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE IN THIS CITY? YOU'VE WASTED $7 MILLION UP HERE, YOU HAND OUT RAISES LEFT AND RIGHT.

HOW MANY SPEED BUMPS WERE ON HIGH RIDGE ALLEY? YOU SAT UP HERE AND SAID ZERO.

IT'S ABOUT AS EASY AS IT COMES.

IT'S EITHER INCOMPETENCE OR NOBODY CARES AND NOBODY IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

THANK YOU MS. HOBO.

ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS COUNCIL ON ANY ITEM? NOT ON THE AGENDA.

IF YOU WOULD STATE YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE.

WELL, I'M PRETTY HELLO EBONY FOREMAN.

UM, I JUST WANTED TO ADDRESS ONE MORE TIME.

UM, I LIVE ON THE CORNER OF, UH, THE COMMONS PARKWAY IN UNION.

AND, UM, I'VE ACTUALLY WITNESSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS.

I'VE HELPED WITH ACCIDENTS.

UM, I'M OUT THERE EVERY DAY.

I HAVE MY CHILDREN, THEY'RE NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO CROSS RIGHT THERE.

AND, UM, I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW, THE REAL ISSUE IS IT LOOKS LIKE A FOUR WAY, BUT IT'S NOT.

SO PEOPLE ARE STOPPING.

THEY'RE BUMPING INTO EACH OTHER.

THEY'RE, THEY'RE BRAKING BECAUSE THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND IF IT'S A FOUR WAY OR NOT.

UM, IT'S A, WE ARE, IF NOTHING HAPPENS AND FOR A REAL ISSUE, WE, I'VE SEEN CARS FLY ACROSS THE STREET.

I'M LIKE, THANK GOD MY KIDS WERE NOT STANDING AT THE CORNER.

PEOPLE HOLD GAMES THERE.

SO THAT CORNER RIGHT THERE.

UM, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE COME AND SURVEY IT.

PUT UM, OFFICERS THERE TO PATROL BECAUSE I CALL THAT THE AUTO BOND AND I'M LIKE, YOU GUYS CANNOT GO OUTSIDE WITHOUT YOUR PARENTS.

SO IF YOU GUYS PLEASE, IT'S THE, UM, THE COMMONS, PARKWAY AND UNION.

NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM G

[1. Receive an update regarding the City of Sachse Service Center project.]

DIS.

DISCUSSION ITEM ITEM ONE.

RECEIVE AN UPDATE REGARDING THE CITY OF SAXE SERVICE CENTER PROJECT MS. NASH, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING, UM, DILIGENTLY, UM, OVER THE LAST, UH, YEAR WITH REGARD TO, UH, PLANNING OUT, UH, THE SSI SERVICE CENTER.

UM, AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING, UM, CLOSELY IN CONCERT WITH, UM, RON HOBBS ARCHITECTS.

UH, THEY ARE HERE IN THE AUDIENCE REPRESENTATIVES TONIGHT.

UM, IF THERE'S ANYTHING SPECIFIC TO THEM THAT COMES UP, BUT PRIMARILY, UM, THE STAFF WILL BE FOCUSED ON THE PRESENTATION TONIGHT.

COREY NESBITT, OUR DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS, HAS BEEN, UH, REALLY TAKING THE LEAD ON THIS ALONG WITH, UM, INPUT FROM, UH, OBVIOUSLY LANCE WHITWORTH, DIRECTOR OF PARKS BECAUSE, UH, HIS STAFF WOULD BE AFFECTED BY THIS.

LAUREN ROSE, MYSELF, UM, UH, CERTAINLY DAVE BALDWIN, LOGAN THATCHER.

UH, SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE STAFF HAVE BEEN, UM, INVOLVED IN UPDATES ON THE PROJECT AND, UH, REALLY BEEN WORKING ON THIS AS A TEAM.

SO TONIGHT YOU WILL GET AN UPDATE ON ALL THE INPUT THAT WE'VE HAD OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS WORKING IN CONCERT TOGETHER AND, UM, TO BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU, UM, REALLY UPDATES AND GET SOME DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL.

HELLO, MR. NESBIT, MEETING MAYOR COUNCIL.

UM, AS MR. NE SAID, WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR A LITTLE BIT.

UM, WE'LL KIND OF GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF KIND OF THE STUFF WE'VE WORKED TO DATE, SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES, SOME OF THAT STUFF.

UM, KINDA GO THROUGH SOME OF THE DESIGN FEATURES OF THE SERVICE CENTER, UH, KIND OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.

UH, I'LL SHOW YOU SOME EXAMPLES OF SOME PHASING WE EVALUATED.

I'LL SHOW YOU SOME OF THE DESIGN SCHEMATIC FEATURES, STUFF LIKE THAT.

UM, AND THEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT FINANCING AND THEN ANY, ANY ITEMS THAT YOU HAVE TO BRING UP.

UH, JUST KINDA GIVE YOU AN UPDATE OF WHERE WE ARE.

WE'VE COMPLETED THE PROGRAMMING PHASE, THAT'S WHAT WE'VE, MS. NASH TALKED ABOUT, ABOUT, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS AND GROUPS WITHIN EACH DEPARTMENT AND TALKED ABOUT OFFICE SPACE AND SIZING AND EQUIPMENT STORAGE AND ALL THAT STUFF.

SO THAT PHASE HAS BEEN COMPLETED, UM, WHICH LED INTO THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN PHASE, WHICH WE SAW LAST MEETING A COUPLE MEETINGS AGO, UH, WITH THE LAYOUT AND SOME OF THAT STUFF.

SO THAT PHASE HAS BEEN COMPLETED AS WELL.

[00:55:03]

UM, AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE CURRENTLY ON THE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PHASE.

AND SO, UH, RON HOBBS IN GROUP ARE WORKING ON COMPLETING THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FOR, UH, PREPARATION FOR BIDDING THIS WINTER HERE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS.

UM, AGAIN, SURVEY AND CIVIL WORK ARE UNDERWAY.

THERE ARE ALMOST 90% PLANS, 60% PLANS RIGHT NOW.

UM, AND AGAIN, THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE PROCESS, WE'RE WORKING WITH RON HOBBS TO DO SOME COST EVALUATING, UM, OPTIONS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

SO, UM, AS YOU RECALL, WE DID THE C-M-R-C-M-A-R AWARD IN SEPTEMBER OF 2025.

UH, SO THAT'S BEEN COMPLETED.

LEE LEWIS WAS SELECTED FOR THAT PRO PROJECT FOR THIS PROJECT.

UM, AGAIN, AS MENTIONED, UH, RON HOBBS IS WORKING ON THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS RIGHT NOW.

WE SHOULD HAVE THOSE HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS.

UM, AND THEN THOSE WILL GO TO LEE LEWIS FOR, FOR THEM TO REVIEW AND TO PREPARE BID DOCUMENTS.

UM, ONCE THEY GET THAT DONE, THEN WE WILL WORK WITH LEE LEWIS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS, PROBABLY JANUARY, UH, FEBRUARY TO COMPLETE THE GMP.

AND THEN ONCE THAT HAS COMPLETED, WE'LL COME BACK TO YOU GUYS WITH A, A RECOMMENDATION FOR THE AMENDMENT TO THE CMAR CONTRACT.

AND THEN HOPEFULLY AFTER THAT, UH, WE'LL START CONSTRUCTION OR GO TO BID IN, UH, WINTER OF 2026.

UM, JUST SOME GENERAL FEATURES WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE PAST.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE OFFICE, OFFICE SPACE, OBVIOUSLY, UH, BREAK ROOMS. UH, WE'RE ALSO CREATING A ROOM FOR THE SCADA, THE IT SYSTEM, WHICH IS OUR WATER WASTEWATER MONITORING.

UM, THAT'LL, THAT'LL BE COMBINED WITH KIND OF THE IT SERVER ROOM AS WELL.

UH, WE TALKED ABOUT ADDING A REMOTE DISPATCH CENTER AND AGAIN, CONSTRUCTION BASED SERVICE BASE FOR THE EQUIPMENT.

UH, COVERED STORAGE, UH, TRAINING ROOM, CONFERENCE ROOM, ALL, ALL THAT TYPE OF STUFF YOU'D SEE IN A, IN A NORMAL OFFICE BUILDING.

UM, AGAIN, THROUGH THIS DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, WE'VE EVALUATED SEVERAL VARIATIONS, AND I'LL SHOW YOU SOME OF THOSE HERE IN A IN A SECOND.

UM, WE ALSO EVALUATED THE PHASING OF THE PROJECT, AND AGAIN, FOR COST SAVINGS, UM, LOGISTICS, ALL THOSE THINGS WERE KIND OF CONSIDERED AT THE SAME TIME.

UM, AGAIN, PART OF THE BIGGEST THING IS MY GROUP, THE PUBLIC WORKS GROUP, WE WERE GOING TO BASICALLY DEMO THEIR BUILDING.

AND SO HOW DO WE DISPLACE 30 GUYS FOR 18 MONTHS TO A YEAR? UM, AND SOME, SOME OF THAT PROCESS.

ALL ALL THOSE THINGS THAT WERE KIND OF CONSIDERED AS WE WERE GOING THROUGH THIS DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.

SO, UM, ONE THINGS WE CONSIDERED.

SO AGAIN, FOR THE PROS FOR THE PHASING, IT DOES REDUCE THE INITIAL COST OF CONSTRUCTION.

UM, ALBEIT AT A, THESE ARE THE CONS, ALBEIT AT, AGAIN, LONG-TERM PROJECT COSTS.

SO THE LONGER THE PROJECT TAKES, OBVIOUSLY CONSTRUCTION COSTS ARE CONTINUING TO RISE.

UM, SO THERE'S A FEAR THAT THAT COULD CHANGE THE PRICE.

UM, THE PHASING OF IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF OUR DEPARTMENT.

UM, AGAIN, DISPLACING 30 GUYS FOR 18 MONTHS.

UM, NOT IDEAL, ESPECIALLY WITH WINTER AND, AND KEEPING, UH, THOSE VEHICLES IN, YOU KNOW, CLIMATE CONTROL, THIS SPACE.

UM, THE FACING ALSO LEADS TO PROBLEMS WITH THIS, THE ACTUAL LOGISTICS OF CONSTRUCTION.

SO YOU HAVE A PART OF THE BUILDING UNDER CONSTRUCTION, BEING OCCUPIED BY STAFF.

ALL THE OTHER HALF OF THE BUILDING IS BEING CONSTRUCTED OR BEING WORKED ON.

UM, AGAIN, IT COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OPERATIONS.

UH, IT DOES INCREASE THE COMPLEXITY OF ADDITIONAL PLANNING AND COORDINATION WITH FORT LEE LEWIS AND, AND STAFF.

UM, AGAIN, COULD EXPERIENCE POTENTIAL COST VARIATIONS AND AVAILABILITY MATERIAL.

SO AGAIN, IF WE, IF WE GET A SHORTAGE OF STEEL PER SE, RIGHT, THEN THAT COULD CHANGE CONTRACT TIMES, DELAYS, STUFF LIKE THAT.

UM, AND AGAIN, GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS, TARIFFS, WE DON'T KNOW HOW THAT'S GONNA END UP.

AND SO THOSE ARE JUST SOME CONCERNS OR CONS FOR THE PHASING OF THAT PROJECT.

SO THIS WAS THE FIRST KIND OF SCHEMATIC OPTION FOR OPTION A.

WE'RE CALLING IT, UM, THIS COULD MORE COMBINED AREAS.

AND SO I'LL KIND OF GO THROUGH THIS HERE ON THE NEXT ONE.

UH, IT DOES PROVIDE SHARED SPACES, UM, BUT IT DOES NOT ADDRESS ADEQUATE NEEDS FOR CURRENT AND FUTURE STAFFING.

UM, THERE WAS NO ADDITIONAL COST SAVINGS IN DOING IT THIS WAY.

UM, AND AGAIN, THIS DOES CREATE CONFLICT WITH THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS DURING CONSTRUCTION.

UM, AGAIN, THE PORTIONS OF THE BUILDING WOULD BE UNUSABLE DURING FUTURE PHASES, UM, AND OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES WOULD BE, UH, IMPACTED.

AND AGAIN, IT DOES INCREASE THE COMPLEXITY DURING THE CONSTRUCTION LOGISTICS OF THAT.

AND THIS DID NOT CONTEMPLATE A REMOTE DISPATCH OPERATIONS CENTER, SO THAT WAS JUST OPTION ONE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT.

AND SO THAT YOU CAN KINDA SEE THAT'S ROUGHLY 14,000 SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE AND 15 16,000 SQUARE FOOT OF WORK BASE.

THE WORK BASE IS WHAT WE'RE CALLING, ARE THE, THE BUILDING SOUTH OF THE WATER TOWER THAT CIRCLE IN THE MIDDLE JUST FOR, FOR .

[01:00:01]

UM, OPTION B, THIS WAS BASICALLY TO PROVIDE PUBLIC WORKS FIRST, UM, AND PHASE THE PARKS COMPONENTS AFTERWARDS.

UM, AGAIN, BASICALLY CUT THE BUILDING IN HALF AS FAR AS SQUARE FOOTAGE SIZE DID, IT DOES PROVIDE A SHARED SPACE FOR THE TRAINING ROOM.

UM, AND, BUT THEN IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY IMPACT FOR THE PARKS DEPARTMENT.

SO KIND OF THE CHALLENGES WE HAD WITH THIS, AGAIN, ONLY PUBLIC WORKS OFFICES WERE BEING CONSIDERED.

UM, AGAIN, FUTURE CONFLICTS BETWEEN OPERATIONS AND CONSTRUCTION.

AGAIN, FUTURE PHASES WOULD BE ON BUILDABLE OR UNUSABLE DURING CONSTRUCTION.

NEGATIVE OPERATIONAL IMPACTS, UH, COMPLEXITY WITH THE COORDINATION OF IT.

THERE'S NO REALLY COST SAVINGS WHEN YOU, WHEN YOU SPLIT THIS PHASE OUT.

AND AGAIN, THIS DID NOT CONSIDER ANY, UH, REMOTE DISPATCH OPERATIONS CENTER.

SO OPTION C WAS KIND OF A, A MORE OF A HYBRID VERSION OF THAT.

WE DID INCLUDE THE PARKS DEPARTMENT IN THIS ONE, BUT THIS PHASE DID NOT INCLUDE ANY OF THE, UH, FACILITIES, MAINTENANCE OFFICES.

SO, AGAIN, PARTIALLY ADDRESSES MOST OF THE NEEDS, BUT DOESN'T ADDRESS ALL OF THE NEEDS.

UM, AND THERE YOU GO AGAIN, SOME OF THE CHALLENGES WITH THAT AGAIN, DOES NOT INCLUDE THE FACILITY MAINTENANCE GROUP.

UM, AGAIN, JUST THE CONFLICTS BETWEEN OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE AND, AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THAT.

UM, KIND OF ALL THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE PA IN THE PAST AND THE PREVIOUS SLIDES.

SO JUST, AND THEN BIGGEST THING WAS THERE'S NO COST SAVINGS IN DOING IT THIS WAY.

YOU'RE STILL GONNA HAVE TO COME BACK LATER AND DO, AND DO ADDITIONAL ADDITIONS TO A NEW BUILDING.

RIGHT? AND AGAIN, THIS SPACE DIDN'T, UH, A SOMATIC SEED DID NOT ADDRESS THE ROAD DISPATCH OPERATIONS CENTER.

SO THIS IS OUR, THIS IS OUR RECOMMENDATION THAT WE'RE PROPOSING TONIGHT.

UM, AGAIN, THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE OFFICE DID GET A LITTLE BIT BIGGER, BUT THIS DOES HAVE FACILITIES, LEISURE SERVICES AND PUBLIC WORKS ALL INCLUDED IN THAT.

IT HAS A SHARED SPACE, IT HAS THE DISPATCH CENTER.

UM, THIS IS EVERYTHING THAT WAS INCLUDED, UH, OR NEEDED BASED ON OPERATIONS.

HERE'S AN IMP UH, INCREASED VIEW OF THE, OF THE OFFICE COMPONENT.

AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE THE PUBLIC WORKS IS IN THE YELLOW PARKS AND LEISURE SERVICES IS THE GREEN FACILITIES IS IN THE RED.

AND THEN THE, THE BROWN OR TAN IS THE COMBINED SERVICES SHARED SPACE.

AND THEN THE BLUE IS THE DISPATCH FOR PUBLIC POLICE, PUBLIC SAFETY.

UH, THIS IS A SCHEMATIC DESIGN OF THE OFFICE, OF THE WORK BASE.

THIS HASN'T REALLY CHANGED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF IT.

UH, THE TAN IS A REALLY IS JUST COVERED PARKING, UH, COVERED STORAGE.

UH, GREEN IS PARKS.

AND THEN THE PUBLIC WORKS IS THE YELLOW, THE THREE BAYS ON THE FAR LEFT SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN THERE.

THOSE ARE HEATED BAYS FOR THE WATER TRUCK, THE JET TRUCK, AND THE STUFF THAT HOLDS WATER IN THE WINTERTIME.

SO, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE WILL NOT BE CLIMATE CONTROLLED.

WELL, IT'S NOT EVEN CLIMATE CONTROLLED, IT'S JUST THOSE ARE JUST HEATED BAYS FOR THE WINTER.

UH, HERE'S A CUTAWAY OF THE METAL FRAME BUILDING.

JUST YOU KINDA SEE WHAT, WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING.

I THINK THIS WAS PRESENTED AT THE LAST MEETING AS WELL.

UM, AGAIN, STANDING METAL FRAME BUILDING, UH, WITH THE VENEER.

UM, THIS IS NOT ANYTHING CONCRETE FLOORS.

WE'LL GET INTO THAT HERE IN A SECOND.

UM, AGAIN, STANDING SEA METAL ROOF.

UM, AND I THINK YOU SAW THIS ONE AS AS WELL.

SO THAT'S KIND OF THE TEND IS TO MESH THE ANIMAL SHELTER, UH, WITH LIKE LIGHT COLORS AND, AND MATERIALS.

AGAIN, TRYING TO CARRY THAT THEME THROUGHOUT THAT COMPLEX OUT THERE.

UM, METAL PANELS WILL MATCH ANIMAL SHELTER, STONE BASES.

UH, THE INTERIOR FINISHES, AGAIN, CONCRETE POLISHED FLOORS, UH, CEILING TILES, ACOUSTICAL CEILING TILES, WHICH IS BASICALLY WHAT WE HAVE HERE.

THERE'S THE, THE DROP-IN PANELS.

UM, INTERIOR WALLS WILL BE DRYWALL AGAIN, NOTHING, NOTHING, UH, CRAZY ON THAT.

UM, IN THE HALLWAYS THEY WILL HAVE A, UM, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT'S CALLED, BUT THEY'LL BE PROTECTED PAINTING ON THE WALLS FOR THE HALLWAYS.

AGAIN, THE ROOF IS A STANDING METAL SEA BUILDING, UH, PORCELAIN TILE ON THE WET AREAS.

RESTROOMS, UH, THE WORK BAY WALLS WILL HAVE HARDY BOARD, UH, FOR THE FIRST SEVEN FEET OF THAT.

AGAIN, WE'RE ALSO PROPOSING A PRECAST SCREENING WALL ALONG THE, I GUESS, WESTERN PROPERTY LINE.

UM, AND AGAIN, GENERATED FOR THE ANIMAL SHELTER AND SERVICE CENTER WILL BE ALSO PROVIDED WITH THIS.

UH, YOU'VE SEEN THIS SLIDE SEVERAL TIMES.

THIS IS JUST KIND OF THE RECAP.

THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK.

UM, AGAIN, THIS IS THE PROGRAM THAT WE'RE PROVIDING.

AGAIN, THIS DOES GIVE US A BLEND OF COMPETITIVE SEALED BIDS AND DESIGN BID METHOD.

AND AGAIN, WE WILL COME BACK TO YOU WITH A GMP HERE ONCE WE ACTUALLY BID THE PROJECT AND, AND GET SOME REAL

[01:05:01]

NUMBERS FOR YOU.

UM, JUST FOR A, A LITTLE SCOPE OF COSTS, UM, RECENTLY, AGAIN, THE ANIMAL SHELTER FOR COMPARISON WAS $566 A SQUARE FOOT.

IF YOU BUILD THE SAME BUILDING TODAY, TWO YEARS LATER, THAT PRICE GOES TO 7 25 PER SQUARE FOOT.

UM, SO IN THE SPAN OF TWO YEARS, YOU KNOW, IT GOES UP ALMOST $200.

UM, THE ANTICIPATED COST FOR OUR WORK FOR THE OFFICE AREA IS $420 A SQUARE FOOT.

UH, THE WORK BASE IS $287 A SQUARE FOOT.

AND AGAIN, JUST THE SITE WORK, THE CONCRETE, THE PARKING LOT, STUFF LIKE THAT IS ANTICIPATED AS $175 A SQUARE FOOT.

THIS IS MY MAYOR.

THERE YOU GO.

SO MAYOR AND COUNSEL, OBVIOUSLY THE NEXT QUESTION, UH, THAT GETS ASKED AFTER ALL THIS IS, SO IF WE DO ALL OF THIS, HOW WILL WE PAY FOR IT? AND SO RIGHT NOW THE CURRENT, UH, PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE THAT WE HAVE, UM, FROM, UM, RON HOBBS AND LEE LEWIS IS ABOUT $15.5 MILLION.

SO THE FINAL NUMBER OBVIOUSLY WOULD NOT BE DETERMINED UNTIL THE DESIGN IS COMPLETE AND THE PROJECT'S ACTUALLY BID.

THIS IS OUR ESTIMATE OF PROBABLE COST.

BUT JUST A REMINDER THAT, UM, THE WAY THIS PROJECT WOULD BE FUNDED, BECAUSE IT WOULD BE PRIMARILY FOR, UM, UM, THINGS AND PEOPLE WITHIN THE UTILITY FUND.

THIS WOULD BE A SPLIT, UH, UTILITY FUND, 66% AND GENERAL FUND 34%.

SO, UM, AS YOU RECALL, WE, UH, DID EARMARK IN THE 25 26 CIP BUDGET.

UM, $2 MILLION FROM WATER, 2 MILLION FROM SEWER, AND 2 MILLION FROM THE GENERAL FUND.

AND SO WE HAVE THAT MONEY ALREADY SET ASIDE IN, IN PREPARING FOR THIS.

AND WE DO HAVE TWO OTHER FUNDING OPTIONS, UM, THAT I COULD RECOMMEND TO YOU UTILIZING DESK DEBT INSTRUMENTS EITHER TAX NOTES OR CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION.

UH, WE HAVE ALREADY RUN THESE, UH, ESTIMATES WITH OUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR AND DETERMINED EVEN BACK, UM, WHEN WE WERE TALKING TO YOU ABOUT THIS LAST YEAR IN PREPARATION, ALL OF THE MODELS THAT WE HAVE DONE FOR OUR DEBT CAPACITY, UM, THAT WE'VE MODELED OUT, UM, YOU KNOW, OVER THE NEXT 20 YEARS WOULD ASSUME THAT WE WOULD EITHER USE TAX NOTES OR CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION AND WE WOULD BE ABLE TO KEEP OUR TAX RATE ON THE, UM, INTEREST IN SINKING SIDE, THE DEBT SIDE, UH, FLAT.

AND SO THAT'S ALREADY BEEN CONTEMPLATED, UM, IN THIS PAST YEAR WHEN WE WERE PREPARING THE BUDGET.

SO JUST KNOW THAT, UM, 15.5 MILLION FOR THE TOTAL COST, SUBTRACT OUT 6 MILLION THAT WE HAVE SET ASIDE, WE WOULD THEN BE FINANCING THE ADDITIONAL 9.5 MILLION, 66% THROUGH THE UTILITY FUND AND 34% THROUGH THE GENERAL FUND, EITHER, LIKE I SAID, THE OPTIONS WOULD BE FORTHCOMING WITH TAX NOTES OR CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION.

AND SO THAT'S THE FORMAL SLIDES.

AND SO WE'LL OPEN UP ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.

AND WHILE WE DO THAT, COREY, IF YOU CAN PUT THE SCHEMATIC OF THE RECOMMEND RECOMMENDED SCHEMATIC, JUST, WELL, YEAH, I GUESS IT'S, THERE YOU GO.

THANKS.

QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR STAFF MS. HOURS? UM, THE ONLY THING I THINK IS NEW FOR ME ON THIS IS ARE WE MOVING ALL OF POLICE DISPATCH INTO THIS BUILDING OR IS THIS IN ADDITION TO WHAT'S OVER HERE? NO, THIS WOULD JUST BE LIKE A REMOTE OR BACKUP CENTER.

A WHAT KIND OF BACK? A REMOTE OR BACKUP CENTER.

OH, OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

'CAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WE WERE DOING, THEY WERE ABOUT TO BE DOWNSIZED AT THAT.

YEAH, EXACTLY.

I'M LIKE, I THOUGHT THAT WAS ALL OVER HERE.

MS. BETHER.

THANK YOU COREY.

UM, WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR DISPLACING YOUR ENTIRE DEPARTMENT? SO, WE'VE TALKED TO LEE LEWIS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT.

BASICALLY WE'RE GONNA PUT A TEMPORARY BUILDING, LIKE A JOB TRAILER ON SITE, AND WE HAVE OTHER FACILITIES THAT THEY CAN UTILIZE, BUT TO ACTUALLY GIVE THEM ONE KIND OF A, AN OFFICE OUT THERE, UM, THAT'S THE PLAN FOR THAT.

AND ALL THE EQUIPMENT.

WELL, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

SO WE HAVE A BIG PARKING LOT OUT THERE.

THE BIGGEST THING WE'LL HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IS THE SEASONAL STUFF IS WITH THE JET TRUCK AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

UM, I THINK WE HAVE SOME OPTIONS.

I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'VE EXPLORED EVERYTHING YET, BUT YEAH, AS FAR AS THE EQUIPMENT GOES, UM, WE'LL STORE THAT ON SIDE STILL.

AT OUR CURRENT FACILITIES, BOTH OF THEM.

THANK YOU MR. LINDSAY.

YEAH, THAT WAS KIND MY QUESTION TOO, IS WHERE TO PUT PEOPLE.

I WAS HOPING THAT YOU WERE ENTERTAINING OPTIONS LIKE A JOB SITE TRAILERS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

I, I THINK WE'VE GOTTA DO WHATEVER IT TAKES, PULL OFF THE BANDAID.

I REALIZE IT'S, IT'S GONNA BE HARD FOR, UH, FOR 12 TO 18 MONTHS OR SO, THOUGH, BUT, UM, IT'LL BE WORTH IT IN THE END.

I, I LOOK

[01:10:01]

IF THEY CHANGE TENANTS, WE WOULD NOT ISSUE A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY.

SO, I MEAN, THERE'S, THESE BUILDINGS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE ARE, ARE NOT FIT.

I'M, I'M SORRY.

OUR EMPLOYEES ARE STILL, UH, WORKING IN THESE BUILDINGS.

WE MANAGED TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL WITH THE ANIMAL SHELTER.

THE ANIMAL SHELTER CAME IN UNDER $5 MILLION AT THE TIME, THAT SEEMED SO EXPENSIVE.

AND, UH, I, I'M SO GLAD THAT WE DID IT.

WE'RE ALREADY LOOKING BACK ON IT, AND IT JUST, IT, IT, IT WAS A, A NO BRAINER DECISION.

SO WE, WE SHOULD DEFINITELY NOT HESITATE ANY LONGER ON HERE.

THE LONGER WE WAIT, JUST THE MORE IT'S GONNA COST.

I, I, I LOOK AT EVERYTHING, UH, YOU KNOW, US BEING THE FASTEST GROWING AREA IN THE ENTIRE NATION, AND THERE'S NO SIGN OF ANY RELIEF.

THERE'S NO SIGN THAT PRICES ARE GONNA GO DOWN.

WE'RE NOT GONNA BE SITTING HERE TWO YEARS FROM NOW SAYING, OH, I WISH WE WOULD'VE WAITED.

UH, IT'S GONNA BE, I WISH WE DIDN'T ACT SOONER.

I'M ALREADY WISHING THAT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DONE SEVERAL YEARS AGO, UH, ON HERE.

SO, UH, DEFINITELY ALL, ALL FOR, UH, THE, THE NON-FACE APPROACH AND JUST RIPPING OFF THE BANDAID STAFF GRINNING AND BEARING A LITTLE BIT MORE, UH, THAN WHAT THEY HAVE US BEING, UH, RESOURCEFUL.

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY PARTNERSHIPS WITH OUR, OUR NEIGHBORS TO STORE SOME OF OUR EQUIPMENT, BUT WHATEVER YOU GOTTA DO TO MAKE IT HAPPEN, LET'S, LET'S GET IT DONE.

I'M GLAD TO SEE IT THIS FAR.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR WORK IN THIS SO FAR.

YEAH, I WOULD ECHO MR. LINDSAY'S COMMENTS.

UH, LONG OVERDUE.

I DO LIKE THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN THAT STAFF IS RECOMMENDING.

I THINK IT, YOU KNOW, CAN'T MOVE THAT WATER TOWER, OF COURSE, BUT, UH, I THINK YOU'RE MAKING THE BEST OF THAT SITUATION.

AND I JUST WOULD ECHO THE SAME THING.

IT'S, YOU KNOW, WHILE TEMPORARY BUILDINGS AREN'T THE GREATEST, UH, IT'S, IT'S DEFINITELY, UH, BETTER THAN THE ALTERNATIVE LONG RUN WITH JUST NOT TO DO ANYTHING.

UH, AND I APPRECIATE STAFF, UH, BUDGETING AHEAD WITH THIS TO WHERE, UM, WE CAN MAKE IT AS PAINLESS AS POSSIBLE.

IT'S NOT PAINLESS, BUT IT'S NOT AS PAINFUL.

MAYBE I SHOULD SAY.

I APPRECIATE THE, UH, THE FORESIGHT TO DO THAT, MR. MILAD.

2028 AND A HALF THOUSAND SQUARE FEET OF PROPERTY.

UH, I JUST WANNA GO OVER SOME NUMBERS THAT ARE BEING THROWN OUT HERE.

UH, 'CAUSE I, MY MATH DOESN'T, UH, UNDERSTAND SOME OF THIS.

SO IT'S SCHEMATIC DRAWING THAT'S SHOWING RIGHT THERE.

YOU'RE SHOWING OFFICE SPACE AND WORK-BASED SPACES.

THAT'S ADDING UP TO ABOUT 30,500 FEET.

IS THAT RIGHT? OKAY.

GO TO THE NEXT, UH, SLIDE SHOWS WHERE THE NO, NO FOR FURTHER ON TO THE PRICES PER PER FOOT.

WE'RE LOOKING AT THESE AND THEN GO TO THE, WE'RE SAYING COMPARED TO ANIMAL SHELTER WAS 566,000.

COST OF ANIMAL SHELTER WAS ACTUALLY 725,000.

ANTICIPATED COSTS IS, OFFICE SPACE IS $420.

UH, ANTICIPATED WORK.

BAY AREA IS 287.

ANTICIPATED SITE COSTS 175.

IF YOU JUST LOOK AT THE WORK BAY AND SITE COSTS, THAT'S OVER 500.

IF YOU ADD, UH, THE, UH, ANTICIPATED SITE COST IS GONNA BE PER SQUARE FOOT.

AND YOU LOOK AT THE, UH, OFFICE SPACE AT, UH, 420, THAT'S GOING TO BE 600 PLUS THOUSAND.

SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT $30,000, OR ACTUALLY 20 PLUS THOU, 20 PLUS MILLION DOLLARS TO START WITH RIGHT HERE.

SO I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE 15 AND A HALF MILLION CAME FROM.

UH, AND ALSO WE'VE ALREADY SPENT A MILLION DOLLARS IN, UH, ARCHITECTS IN FEES.

AND WE DON'T EVEN SHOW, UH, ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEE PARKING, EMPLOYEE STREETS TO GET TO THE PLACE, UH, UTILITIES TO GET TO THE PLACE.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT, LOOKING RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE ALREADY SAYING WE'RE LOOKING AT 20, 22, 20 $3 MILLION NOW.

BUT, UH, SO WHERE DID THE HUNDRED 15 AND A HALF MILLION COME FROM? MAYOR MS. NASH, COUNCILMAN MILLSAP, WHEN YOU GO THROUGH AND YOU ADD UP THE COST PER SQUARE FOOT FOR THE DIFFERENT AREAS, YOU HAVE TO MULTIPLY.

SO THE, FOR THE OFFICE AREA, THE $420 PER SQUARE FOOT MM-HMM .

TIMES, UM, THE, UH, 14,938, THAT GETS YOU TO 6.2 MILLION.

THEN THE 15,696, UH, UH, FOR THE WORK BASE THAT COMES TO $4.5 MILLION.

AND THEN YOU HAVE ALL THE SITE WORK OF THAT $175 PER SQUARE FOOT THAT ROUNDS IT OUT TO THE $15 MILLION.

SO YOU HAVE TO TAKE EACH OF THE DIFFERENT SQUARE FOOTAGES FOR OFFICE AREA, WORK BAY, AND UH, SITE WORK TIMES THEIR, UH, RESPECTIVE SQUARE FOOTAGE AREAS.

AND THAT GETS US UP TO THE 15 MILLION.

WELL, IF YOU LOOK AT THE OFFICE SPACE IS $420 AND THE ANTICIPATED SITE COST IS A $175 FOR THE ENTIRE

[01:15:02]

SO YOU GOT $175 PLUS 420 FOR OFFICE SPACE.

YOU GOT, UH, $287 FOR WORK BAIT PLUS 175 FOR SITE AREA.

'CAUSE IT COVERS A SITE.

SO YOU HAVE TO ADD THOSE UP.

SO YOU ADD THOSE UP, UH, IT, IT, THAT DON'T ADD UP TO ME.

YEAH, IT'S STILL ROUGHLY 15 AND A HALF MILLION.

LET ME SHOW YOU.

I, ME SHOW YOU, MAYBE I CAN ANSWER SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS HERE BETTER.

SO THAT SITE WORK INCLUDES THE PROPOSED, LIKE ALL THE PARKING IS STAFF PARKING, RIGHT? SO THAT ALREADY INCLUDES THE STAFF PARKING, WATER AND SEWER ARE ALREADY THERE.

SO WE JUST HAVE TO MAKE CONNECTIONS TO THAT.

AND AGAIN, WE'RE NOT PAVING THE ENTIRE SITE, WE'RE ONLY DOING A SMALL PORTION OF CONCRETE.

THE REST WILL BE GRAVEL AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

SO THAT'S WHY THAT $175 IS NOT, WE'RE NOT, THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE FULL, YOU KNOW, FIVE ACRES OF PROPERTY.

WELL, NO, NO, WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT 20,000 SQUARE FEET.

THAT'S A HALF ACRE, 43,560 AN ACRE.

SO THAT'D BE A HALF ACRE, $175 FOR THAT IS STILL, STILL AT SITE WORK.

ANYWAY, THAT'S JUST MY TAKE ON IT, MR. BERG.

UM, I THINK THE CONFUSION THERE IS THAT THE WORK BAYS AND OFFICE SPACE, YOU EXCLUDE ALL THAT FROM THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS THE WORK SITE, RIGHT? GENERALLY, YES.

UM, SO, UH, TWO THINGS.

ONE ON YOUR SCHEMATIC HERE, RIGHT BY THE WATER TOWER, IS THAT JUST A BIG COURTYARD? IS THAT WHAT THAT IS? UH, SO THAT COURTYARD IS BA THAT ACTUALLY ENCOMPASSES AT T AND VERIZON FRANCHISE.

GOT IT.

AND SO THEY HAVE THEIR TRANSFER, THEY HAVE THEIR, IT WAS NOT TRANSFER STATION, BUT THEY HAVE THEIR EQUIPMENT STATIONS AND THEN THAT THE CABLING AND AN EASEMENT THAT GOES TO THE WATER TOWER.

SO OKAY.

THAT'S WHY THAT'S SEPARATED FROM OKAY.

IT JUST LOOKED ODD.

LIKE IT WAS JUST A BIG CONCRETE SLAB AND CONCRETE SLABS DON'T DO WELL HERE.

SO, UM, THE SECOND THING, UH, JUST A BASIC QUESTION.

ALL THE DEPARTMENT HEADS THAT, YOU KNOW, PUBLIC WORKS, THEY'RE ALL ON BOARD WITH THIS.

I KNOW IT SAYS STAFF RECOMMENDATION, BUT JUST THERE'S BEEN NO LANCE AND I RECOMMENDED IT.

WELL, I JUST, I MEAN, STAFF COULD BE EVERYTHING, BUT I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE IT COVERS ALL THE NEEDS THAT THEY MIGHT EVER CAN THINK OF.

RIGHT.

SO THAT WAS PART OF THE DESIGN PHASE.

WE MET WITH STAFF AND WE SHOWED IT TO OUR, OUR OWN GROUPS IN DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.

AND WE KIND OF WENT THROUGH AND WE KIND OF, YOU KNOW, WE PROJECTED ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEES AND SQUARE FOOTAGES AND OFFICES.

AND AGAIN, NOT EVERY EMPLOYEE GETS AN OFFICE.

RIGHT.

AND SO ALL OF OUR FIELD TECHS, BUT DO WE HAVE A BREAK ROOM AND THE LOCKER ROOM AND STUFF LIKE THAT? SO, UM, WE DO FEEL LIKE THIS DOES ANTICIPATE ANY FUTURE NEEDS THAT WE WOULD HAVE.

AND IS THERE A, UH, ANYTHING IN HERE LIKE A BUZZER ABATEMENT CLAUSE, LIKE FOR ? THAT MAY BE THE GENERATORS .

THAT, THAT'D BE GREAT.

SO ANYWAY, I, I APPRECIATE THIS.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT AS SEVERAL OTHER MEMBERS THAT SAID, LET'S MOVE FAST ON THIS BEFORE THE COST KEEPS INCREASING.

UM, NOTHING GETS CHEAPER, SO FASTER REMOVE THE BETTER, SIR.

THANK YOU SIR.

MARY PRO AND FRANKS WELL, THE THEME CONTINUES, RIGHT? CONSTRUCTION IS OUTRAGEOUS.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.

$15 MILLION.

IT'S, I NEVER WOULD'VE FATHOM THAT.

WE GEEKED OUT A COUPLE YEARS AGO AND THEY SAID, WELL IT MAY COST $7 MILLION.

I'M LIKE, WHAT? IT'S CRAZY.

IT'S EVEN MORE CRAZY NOW.

UM, I WANT A LITTLE BIT OF FEEDBACK ON THE POLICE, UH, DISPATCHER ROOM.

WHY WE, WHY WE NEED A RESERVE OR ANCILLARY POLICE DISPATCH ROOM THERE AT THIS BUILDING.

WE LOOKED AT THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE THIS IS A SITE THAT IS REMOTE FROM THIS CAMPUS AND IT IS REALLY OUR ONLY OTHER CITY OWNED FACILITY AREA IN, IN THIS, IN THE CITY.

WE THOUGHT THAT THIS WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE TO PUT IT RATHER THAN, WE HAVE A REMOTE PLACE TECHNICALLY RIGHT NOW UP AT FIRE STATION TWO, BUT IT'S REALLY NOT ADEQUATE FOR OUR NEEDS.

AND THIS WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT THAT REMOTE LOCATION THERE INSTEAD WITH, UM, REALLY JUST A, A BETTER OPPORTUNITY WE THOUGHT.

UM, AND JUST A GOOD SITE TO PUT IT AT.

SO IF IT'S RESERVE OR ANCILLARY, WHAT'S IT GONNA DO? THE, THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME, NOTHING.

ARE WE GONNA JUST HAVE COMPUTERS SITTING IN THERE? IT'S LIKE A EMERGENCY OPERATIONS.

BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M THINKING.

IT WAITS AND UNLESS THERE IS SOMETHING THAT COMES UP AND THEN WE HAVE THAT SECONDARY SITE, UM, READY TO GO.

IF SOMETHING WAS TO HAPPEN TO THIS FACILITY, THIS CAMPUS, AND OBVIOUSLY THE, UH, THE ENCLOSED BAYS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE 'CAUSE YOU'RE JUST HAVING OPEN SPACE BASICALLY.

UM, DID WE CONSIDER, I'M GONNA USE THE WORD CARPORT,

[01:20:01]

COVERED, UH, OPEN COVERED PARKING OUTDOOR OR DO WE STILL NEED THAT? THAT IS THE TAN ON THE LEFT ON THE RIGHT.

THAT'S THE COVERED CARPORTS TAN ON THE LEFT OR ON ON YOUR RIGHT? SORRY.

ON YOUR RIGHT, YES.

ON YOUR FAR RIGHT.

SO THAT'S COVERED AND OPEN FOR WHAT, WHOEVER'S YOURS, PARKS, WHOEVER NEEDS IT.

RIGHT.

IS THAT GONNA BE ADEQUATE? I MEAN I JUST, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S ABOUT THREE BAYS ON EACH SIDE OR SIX BAYS TOTAL.

IS THAT GONNA BE ADEQUATE FOR YEAH, BECAUSE WHAT WE NEED, YES.

UM, JUST BECAUSE WE, WE TALK ABOUT PARKS SPECIFICALLY.

I KNOW THEY ONLY HAVE, ARE THEY FOUR BAYS TOTAL RIGHT NOW? BUT THEY HAVE A LOT OF STUFF OUT BEHIND IT.

AND SO THE IDEA FOR THAT IS LIKE INSTEAD OF UNHOOKING THE TRAILER AND BACKING IT AND PULLING THE TRUCK IN, YOU COULD LEAVE A TRAILER HOOKED UP TO THE, TO THE TRUCK EVERY DAY AND NOT HAVE TO DEMOBILIZE THAT BASICALLY.

BUT AGAIN, NOT EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE COVERED, BUT TRY TO COVER AS MUCH AS, AGAIN, WITHIN REASON THAT WE COULD COVER.

SO DO WE NEED ADDITIONAL OR MORE COVERED PARKING IF THAT'S NOT GONNA COVER EVERYTHING? NO, I THINK BASED ON THE EQUIPMENT THAT WE'VE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT, I THINK THAT COVERS ALMOST EVERYTHING THAT WE, THAT WE NEED TO KEEP COVERED.

SO YOU'RE NOT GONNA COME BACK NEXT YEAR AND WHEN YOU SAY, I NEED A NEW TRACTOR, I NEED A NEW TRUCK AND BECAUSE THE SUN IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT IS RUINING IT.

THAT MAY BE'S TOTALLY DIFFERENT, BUT YES.

THAT SEEMS TO BE A THEME.

I'M JUST SAYING OUR EQUIPMENT SITS OUT IN THE WEATHER ALL YEAR LONG AND IT IS DEGRADED OBVIOUSLY, BUT I KNOW LIKE PARKS HAS ENCLOSED TRAILERS, RIGHT? AND SO YEAH, I'M SPEAKING FOR GLANCE, BUT SOME OF THAT THAT'S RIGHT.

THROW 'EM UNDER THE BUS.

IT'S COOL.

SOME OF NO, SOME OF THAT MAY NOT NECESSARILY NEED TO BE COVERED ALL THE TIME.

BUT CERTAINLY IF THERE'S STORMS COMING IN OR WHATEVER, UM, THEY WOULD WANT TO PROTECT SOME OF THAT STUFF, BUT, OKAY.

YEAH, I THINK THE PRICE IS RIDICULOUS, BUT I MEAN, KINDA LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO? WAIT, ALL RIGHT.

I DON'T LIKE THE PRICE.

I LIKE THE DESIGN.

THANK YOU MS. UELER.

I JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU FOR GOING THROUGH THE, UM, THE PHASED, UM, GOING THROUGH THAT ALL AND SEEING IF THERE WOULD BE A COST SAVINGS TO THAT.

I THINK THAT'S ALL A QUESTION IN OUR MIND, HOW WE CAN DO THIS THE MOST AFFORDABLE WAY.

AND IT'S, I'M REALLY, I SUPPORT MY COLLEAGUES WHO WANNA GO AHEAD AND GET THIS DONE AND NOT POTENTIALLY PAY MORE FOR THE OTHER HALF OF THE BUILDING DOWN THE ROAD.

SO I THINK THIS IS A GOOD PROJECT AND I'M ASSUMING FROM THE COMMENTS, UH, WE ARE ALL GOOD WITH THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN AND STAFF IS RECOMMENDED.

I DON'T HEAR ANY OBJECTION.

THIS IS YOU RIGHT? NO, IT'S OKAY.

GLORIA WILL TALK TO YOU ABOUT NEXT STEPS.

OH YEAH, GO AHEAD COREY.

SORRY, I'M MOVING MY EIGHT SLIDE LIMIT.

JUST ONE SECOND.

UM, AND SO JUST KIND OF SOME NEXT STEPS, NE NEXT STEPS GOING FORWARD.

UM, AGAIN, WE'LL REVIEW THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS HERE IN DECEMBER WITH RON HOBSON COMPANY.

UM, THEN WE'LL GIVE THOSE TO LEE LEWIS HERE DECEMBER, JANUARY FOR THEM TO BID, BID, GET BIDS FOR THESE PROJECTS, AND THEN HOPEFULLY, UM, YOU'D SEE SOMETHING FEBRUARY TIMEFRAME TO COME BACK AND REACT TO.

SO, UM, THAT'S KIND OF THE PLAN AT THIS POINT.

AND THEN JUST START CONSTRUCTION AFTERWARDS.

MAYOR, I JUST WANT YEAH, GO AHEAD.

I JUST WANNA MAKE A POINT HERE THAT AT AT COUNCIL HAS THE OPPORTUNITY AND HE HAS THE STEPS IN HERE IN THE WINTER FOR YOU TO EITHER ACCEPT, REJECT OR FURTHER NEGOTIATE THE GMP.

SO YOU DO, UM, THAT ACCEPTANCE PROCESS INCLUDES, YOU KNOW, BIDDING AND RECEIVING THAT CONTRACT PRICE.

YOU GET TO REVIEW AND EXECUTE THE GMP, THE CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE IS THEN ESTABLISHED, BUT YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY ALSO WHEN IT COMES BACK TO REJECT AND GO BACK OUT FOR BIDS.

BUT WE MADE THE DETERMINATION THAT THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS PROBABLY COULD BE COMPLETED IN DECEMBER, BUT THAT IS NOT A GOOD TIME TO BID A PROJECT.

UM, YOU JUST AREN'T GONNA GET THE RESPONSIVENESS THAT YOU'LL WANT.

AND SO, UM, WE DECIDED THAT WE WANTED TO TAKE A LITTLE MORE TIME WITH IT AND BE ABLE TO BID IT IN JANUARY AFTER THE HOLIDAYS.

AND SO, UM, THAT IS USUALLY WHEN, UM, CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTORS ARE LOOKING FOR WORK, UM, AND LOOKING TO BID ON NEW PROJECTS.

AND SO, UM, THAT'S WHY WE'RE GOING WITH THAT.

BUT YOU, WE WILL COME BACK TO YOU, WE HAVE TO COME BACK TO YOU, UM, FOR ACCEPTANCE, REJECTION OR FURTHER NEGOTIATION OF THE GMP, UM, THIS WINTER WHEN WE GET BIDS BACK.

THANK YOU MS. NASH.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL ON THIS ITEM AND OH, MAYOR PRO 10 FRANKS? YEAH, DID, DID YOU GET ANY FEEDBACK FROM WHAT ROAD IS THIS? UH, OAKRIDGE CIRCLE, THE RESIDENTS THERE THAT BACK UP TO IT.

I KNOW YOU, YOU PLAN A MASONRY WALL THERE, BUT DO YOU GET ANY FEEDBACK FROM THEM? I MEAN, I, I THINK RIGHT NOW IT'S A CHAIN LINK FENCE.

IT'S A CHAIN LINK FENCE RIGHT NOW.

AND SO THE LAST STORMS THAT WE HAD IN MAY KNOCK THE FENCE DOWN, SO I THINK ANYTHING THAT WE WOULD DO WOULD BE AN IMPROVEMENT FOR THEM.

BUT YES, WE'LL CERTAINLY TALK TO ALL THEM WHEN WE GET TO THAT POINT.

OTHER RESERVATIONS THEY HAD? I CAN'T IMAGINE WE HAVEN'T TALKED TO THEM.

THAT, I MEAN, ANY

[01:25:01]

YEAH, WE HAVE NOT TALKED TO YOU HAVE NOT? NO.

I MEAN, THEY HAVE A SCREAMING RADIO TOWER AND THE VERY TALL WATER TOWER THERE, SO.

WELL, BUT I THINK AGAIN, LIKE, LIKE THE HUDSON SCREENING WALL, LIKE WE'RE REPLACING YOUR CHAIN LINK FENCE WITH THE, NO, NO, NO.

I'M, I'M, ADDITIONAL, ADDITIONAL CONCERNS OR, OR COMMENTS, NOT THE MASONRY WALL.

NO.

WE'LL REACH OUT TO THEM ONCE WE GET TO THAT POINT, BUT YEAH, WE HAVE NOT TO DATE.

THANKS MS. MILLAY.

UH, JUST ONE QUESTION WHEN WE GO OUT FOR BIDS, UH, IS THIS GOING TO BE BASED ON A COMPETITIVE LOW BID OR IS THIS GONNA BE ON THE BEST VALUE BID? UH, RIGHT NOW WE'RE TALKING COMPETITIVE LOW BID.

ABOUT WHAT? COMPETITIVE LOWEST BID.

LOWEST RESPONSIVE BIDDER.

AND AGAIN, LIKE, LIKE MS. NASH MENTIONED, LIKE WE'LL GO THROUGH AND LOOK AT THE, AT THE PROPOSAL AND CONCRETE FLOORS ARE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN TILE, THEN WE MAY END UP SWITCHING STUFF, I THINK.

BUT WE'LL ALSO GO THROUGH THAT WITH STAFF AND, AND WITH RON HOBBS AND, AND KIND OF VALUE ENGINEER SOME OF THAT STUFF.

BUT ANYTHING ELSE FROM COUNSEL? THANK YOU MR. NEBU, SIR.
