WE HAVE MANY OF OUR FIRST RESPONDERS HERE TONIGHT.

JUST WANT TO THANK ALL OF OUR TOWN EMPLOYEES, MANY OF WHOM WORK THROUGH THE WINTER STORM EVENT, JUST IN PREPARATIONS FOR ANY SORT OF ICING OR WHAT HAVE YOU.

WE HAD PUBLIC WORKS AND PARKS EMPLOYEES STAYING OVERNIGHT AND SOME OF OUR FACILITIES.

WE HAD A LOT OF POLICE OFFICERS AND FIREFIGHTERS WHO WEREN'T ON DUTY COME IN ON OVERTIME.

AND WE'RE FORTUNATE THAT THAT THE WINTER WEATHER EVENT WASN'T CERTAINLY AS SEVERE AS IT COULD HAVE BEEN.

BUT I JUST WANT TO THANK ALL OF OUR TOWN EMPLOYEES, SOME MANY WHO ARE HERE, BUT MANY WHO ARE NOT AS WELL FOR THEIR DEDICATION, OUR DEPARTMENT DIRECTORS WHO WORKED REMOTELY AND WE HAD EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT CALLS DURING THE EVENT.

SO JUST WANT TO SHOUT OUT TO THE STAFF FOR ALL THAT THEY DID, FOR ALL OF OUR FIRST RESPONDERS AND PUBLIC WORKS AND PARKS AND CHIEF FOR KIND OF LEADING OUR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT EFFORTS. SO I JUST WANT TO THANK THEM ALL VERY MUCH FOR THEIR HARD WORK OVER THE LAST YOU KNOW, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY EVENT. AWESOME. THANKS, JEFF.

IT'S THE THINGS THAT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT, RIGHT, THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE. SO THANK YOU GUYS FOR THANK YOU FOR ALL THE STAFF FOR GIVING THEIR TIME. ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL, DO YOU HAVE ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE MAYOR PRO TEM I DO.

ALL RIGHT I'D LIKE TO ECHO THE TOWN MANAGER'S SENTIMENTS AS I MOVE ABOUT THE TOWN OF SUNNYVALE.

I HEAR NOTHING BUT ACCOLADES FOR OUR FIRST RESPONDERS.

AND SO I'D LIKE TO COMMUNICATE THAT MESSAGE TO YOU IN PERSON.

WE APPRECIATE YOU. WE KNOW THAT YOUR JOB IS VERY CHALLENGING, AND WE WOULD NOT BE THE OUTSTANDING TOWN THAT WE ARE WITHOUT THE FINE WORK THAT YOU DO. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN WOODROW COUNCIL.

ANYBODY ELSE? ALL RIGHT. I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENTS AND I WILL MOVE ON TO THE PUBLIC FORUM.

IF ANYBODY FROM THE AUDIENCE WOULD LIKE TO COME FORWARD AND SPEAK TO THE COUNCIL, ANY ITEMS OTHER THAN LITIGATION OR PERSONNEL MATTERS,

[00:05:08]

OH, I'M SORRY, I JUST SKIPPED RIGHT AHEAD, DIDN'T I? WE'LL MOVE FORWARD WITH THE INTRODUCTIONS. SO, CHIEF, WE HAVE CHIEFS.

[H. Introductions]

THEY COME TO US FROM THE THE ACADEMY. THEY ARE FRESH FROM THE ACADEMY.

SO TO SAY THAT THEY ARE GREEN IS NOT A TRUE STATEMENT IN THIS CASE BECAUSE THEY WERE TRAINED AT THE DALLAS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE. SO THE DALLAS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE HAS A REALLY, REALLY GREAT ACADEMY.

BUT THEY FOR SOME REASON CHOSE TO COME TO SUNNYVALE, WHICH WE ALL KNOW WHY THEY DID THAT, BECAUSE WE'RE A GREAT PLACE. SO THE FIRST ONE I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE IS MARTIN SMITH.

AND I'M ALSO GOING TO INTRODUCE ASHLEY. THIS IS ASHLEY DEFREES.

IF YOU ALL WANT TO COME FORWARD MARTIN SMITH COMES TO US FROM DSO, LIKE I SAID, AND HE CAME FROM THE IT WORLD AND HE WANTED TO MAKE A SWITCH AND HE SWITCHED OVER TO LAW ENFORCEMENT.

ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A COP. SO HERE HE IS. HE CARRIED ONE OF THE HIGHER GRADE POINT AVERAGES IN THE ACADEMY.

HE SAYS HE WAS IN THE TOP TIER OF THE SENIORS IN THE ACADEMY AND DID VERY WELL.

ASHLEY ALSO CARRIED A HIGH GPA AVERAGE AND SHE SHE CAME FROM THE PRIVATE SECTOR ALSO.

SHE DECIDED TO BECOME A POLICE OFFICER AND WE ARE HAPPY.

SO HAPPY TO HAVE BOTH OF THEM. AND MARTIN HAS HIS WIFE LASHAWN WITH HIM.

SO WE'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE HER TO THE FAMILY ALSO.

SO WELCOME. COME ON, COME ON AND GET SOME PICTURES.

YES. NOW IT'S PICTURES. ALL RIGHT.

YES. YES. WELL, I SHOWED YOU THIS. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

OKAY. SO HOW ARE YOU? WELCOME, WELCOME WELCOME, WELCOME.

HI. HOW ARE YOU? OKAY. THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU SIR.

GOOD TO SEE YOU. YES SIR. PLEASE. THANK YOU SIR.

GREAT TO HAVE YOU. HERE. YOU GOT TO COME UP IN THE MIDDLE HERE.

COME ON DOWN. HE LIKES BEING IN THE BACK. NOTHING.

STAND BETWEEN YOU. ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO. HOW ABOUT THAT? THERE YOU GO.

GOT IT. ALL RIGHT. WERE YOU UP? YES, PLEASE. OH, NO.

YOU DON'T. ALL RIGHT. YOU DON'T LIKE OUR SIGN? NO. I LOVE THE SIGN. THAT'S TRUE. OKAY. THANKS.

EVERYBODY. THAT'S ALL WE GOT HERE. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. WELCOME. AND, CHIEF, I THINK YOU HAVE SOME.

INTRODUCTION FOR US NOW. YES. YOUR TIME. OKAY.

THANK. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MAYOR PRO TEM AND COUNCIL.

WE ARE VERY EXCITED. ON DECEMBER 5TH CORRINE ERNST STARTED WITH SUNNYVALE FIRE RESCUE.

HE HAS A BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN EMERGENCY ADMINISTRATION AND CAME WITH BOTH HIS FIREFIGHTER AND PARAMEDIC CERTIFICATION.

HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY ACTUAL EXPERIENCE YET WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

BUT THERE WAS SO MUCH THAT THAT WE SAW THAT THAT WE KNEW WAS GOING TO MAKE HIM A GREAT FIT.

HE ACTUALLY IS AN EAGLE SCOUT, AND WE ALL KNOW HOW MUCH THAT TAKES, HOW MUCH DEDICATION.

AND HE SAID HE ALWAYS KNEW FROM A YOUNG AGE THIS WAS WHAT HE WANTED TO DO. HE ACTUALLY STARTED AS A FIRE EXPLORER WITH ROWLETT WHEN HE WAS 14.

DID THAT FOR SEVEN YEARS, AND THEN BECAME ACTUALLY A MENTOR AS AN ADULT FOR THAT PROGRAM AND RECEIVED A LIFETIME VOLUNTEER AWARD FOR ALL THAT. HE GAVE OVER 500 HOURS A YEAR FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

AND AT AN AGE WHEN MOST PEOPLE ARE JUST TRYING TO GET THEIR LIFE TOGETHER AND, YOU KNOW, GET THROUGH COLLEGE AND GET A CAREER.

[00:10:08]

SO WITH HIS DEMONSTRATION OF COMMITMENT AND LOYALTY AND EXCELLENCE, WE'RE EXCITED.

AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO RUIN HIM. I MEAN, TRAIN HIM IN HOW WE DO THINGS VERY QUICKLY.

AND HE IS ALSO HERE WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND KYLIE, SO WE'LL INVITE THEM UP.

CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU. WELCOME. THANK YOU FOR COMING TONIGHT.

WELCOME. WE'RE GLAD TO HAVE YOU. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

JUST LEAVE IT RIGHT THERE. ONCE YOU GET READY.

NONE OF YOUR GOOD CAN GET IN BETWEEN THE TWO.

AND. RIGHT IN BETWEEN. RIGHT IN BETWEEN THESE TWO.

IN BETWEEN. THERE YOU GO. OKAY. HOW ARE YOU? GOOD.

HOW ARE YOU? THERE YOU GO. ALL RIGHT. WELL.

THANK YOU. IT'S ABOUT TIME FOR THE WHOLE CREW TO TAKE PICTURES FOR ME AND GET THE WHOLE CREW HERE.

YEAH, MOM, I'M THE NEXT ONE. YEAH, BUT I NEED TO GET YOU AND YOUR CREW.

FIRE DEPARTMENT? YES. YOU TAKE MORE PICTURES.

THEY DIDN'T COME JUST FOR THE MORAL SUPPORT.

YES. SIR. OKAY, EVERYBODY. IT'S NOT PRETTY. CAN YOU GET EVERYBODY I CAN? GOT IT. OKAY. WELCOME, BROTHER.

YOU'RE A GREAT AMERICAN. THANK YOU SIR. DON'T CARE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT YOU. WE LOVE YOUR RESUME, MAN. WE'LL GET YOU OVER TO BEAT YOU. YEAH, WE ALL HAD TO MERIT OUR MEETING.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE GOT TO INTRODUCE YOU. SHAVE YOUR HEAD IF YOU'RE BALD.

YEAH. WHAT DO THEY DO WITH THEIR HANDS? ALL RIGHT.

[I. Recognitions]

JEFF, DO YOU HAVE THIS OR IS. WELL, ACTUALLY RACHEL RAMSEY, OUR DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATION, WILL WILL DO THE HONORS, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SET THINGS UP JUST FOR A MOMENT, IF I MAY.

I BELIEVE IN SOFTBALL. THERE'S A POSITION CALLED A ROVER, I BELIEVE, AND IT'S A IT'S IT'S A VERY TALENTED INDIVIDUAL ON THE TEAM WHO CAN PRETTY MUCH PLAY ANY POSITION AT ANY TIME. AND I THINK THIS NEXT EMPLOYEE REALLY IS KIND OF THE EPITOME OF A ROVER HERE AT THE TOWN OF SUNNYVALE.

SHE'S DONE IT ALL. SHE'S CROSS-TRAINED EMPLOYEES IN DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.

WHEN SHE HAD A WHOLE NOTHER FULL TIME JOB TO DO.

AND AND SHE'S JUST THE ULTIMATE TEAM PLAYER. SO WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE ERICA GET SOME RECOGNITION FOR SOME HARD WORK THAT SHE'S DONE.

SO I'LL TURN IT OVER TO RACHEL. THANK YOU. MAYOR PRO TEM AND COUNCIL THE MUNICIPAL COURT CLERK CERTIFICATION PROGRAM WAS ESTABLISHED TO ENCOURAGE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND EDUCATIONAL GROWTH WITHIN THE COURT CLERK PROFESSION.

IT IS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE TEXAS COURT CLERK'S ASSOCIATION, THE TEXAS MUNICIPAL COURTS EDUCATION CENTER, AND THE TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY IN SAN MARCOS.

IS TCC IS A NONPROFIT, PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION OF THE MUNICIPAL AND JUSTICE COURT CLERKS AND ADMINISTRATORS.

ITS PURPOSE IS TO INCREASE THE PROFICIENCY OF JUDICIAL ADMINISTRATORS AND CLERICAL PERSONNEL THROUGH EDUCATION AND THE EXCHANGE OF IDEAS.

FOUNDED IN 1972, TCC IS AN AFFILIATE OF THE TEXAS MUNICIPAL LEAGUE AND OFFERS ITS MEMBERS A VARIETY OF SERVICES AND PROGRAMS. TMC IS A 501 C3 NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION, FUNDED BY A GRANT FROM THE TEXAS COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS TO PROVIDE JUDICIAL AND LEGAL EDUCATION FOR MUNICIPAL JUDGES, CLERKS, PROSECUTORS THROUGH MONTHLY REGIONAL SEMINARS, AND AN 800 TELEPHONE LINE THAT THEY CAN CALL FOR ADVICE AND SUPPORT.

TMC IS AN ASSOCIATION COMPOSED OF MUNICIPAL JUDGES, CLERKS, PROSECUTORS, AND COURT SUPPORT PERSONNEL.

IT MONITORS LEGISLATION, ATTORNEY GENERAL OPINIONS, AND CHANGES AND CHANGES IN CASE LAW TO ENSURE THAT THE NINE THE 918 MUNICIPAL COURT CLERKS IN TEXAS REMAIN UP TO DATE ON THE LAW. PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS CAN ACHIEVE CERTIFICATION UPON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF EACH OF THREE LEVELS LEVEL ONE, LEVEL TWO, AND THEN THE THIRD ONE IS CERTIFIED MUNICIPAL COURT CLERK.

AREAS COVERED BY THE EXAM INCLUDE AN OVERVIEW OF THE COURT'S ETHICS, AUTHORITY AND DUTIES,

[00:15:02]

WE ARE PROUD AND HONORED TO ANNOUNCE THAT SENIOR COURT CLERK ERICA WOOLDRIDGE HAS COMPLETED ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR LEVEL ONE OF THE MUNICIPAL COURT CLERK'S CERTIFICATION PROGRAM AND WAS AWARDED CERTIFICATION ON NOVEMBER 26TH, 2024, BY THE TEXAS COURT CLERK'S ASSOCIATION ASSOCIATION IN CONJUNCTION WITH TMCC, TMCA AND TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY. ERICA HAS SERVED IN THE SUNNYVALE MUNICIPAL COURT SINCE 2017.

SOME FULL TIME, EVEN WHEN SHE WASN'T HOLDING THAT POSITION, SHE WAS STILL IN THE COURT BECAUSE SHE WAS STILL UP THERE HELPING THEM.

SO ON AND OFF SINCE 2017. SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, PLEASE HELP ME IN CONGRATULATING SENIOR COURT CLERK ERICA WOOLDRIDGE.

ALL RIGHT.

WOO HOO! THANK YOU. I'M HERE TO COME TO THE MIDDLE AND LET THE MAYOR PRO TEM GO BY.

YEAH. OF COURSE. YEAH, I'LL MISS THAT FACE. EVERYBODY IN? OH, YEAH. HEY, IT'S UPSIDE DOWN. YOU'RE HOLDING IT UPSIDE DOWN.

ALL RIGHT. MOTION PASSES. UNANIMOUS WITH MEMBERS PRESENT.

[K. Public Hearing Items]

WHO WILL TAKE THIS? GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. WELL, SHOULD YOU SEND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR? I'M RELIEVED THAT IT DIDN'T DO THE SECURITY TRAINING LIKE IT DID WITH THE WORK SESSION.

SO TONIGHT WE ARE LOOKING AT I CAN GET THIS CLICKER TO WORK.

IT IS ON. NOW. OH, OKAY. THANK YOU.

WE ARE LOOKING AT THE TREE PROTECTION STANDARDS AMENDMENT OF OUR UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE.

SO BRIEFLY, WHAT WE ARE DISCUSSING TONIGHT IS, FIRST OF ALL, WHY WE'RE AMENDING THE TREE PROTECTION STANDARDS OR SECTION 3.0603 OF OUR UDO. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE CURRENT CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENTS WITH THE ORDINANCE THAT WE ARE GOING TO ADDRESS WITH THIS AMENDMENT? PROPOSED KEY AMENDMENTS. WHAT FEEDBACK WE RECEIVED AND RECOMMENDATION WE RECEIVED FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND THE RESIDENTS WHO ATTENDED THE PUBLIC HEARING AND SOME OF THE FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS THAT STAFF AND THE CONSULTANT HAS ON THE ORDINANCE.

NEXT SLIDE. SO THE THREE CORE ASPECTS OF THIS AMENDMENT.

THE FIRST ONE IS, OF COURSE, THE MOST IMPORTANT FOR THIS AMENDMENT TO PREVENT CLEAR CUTTING OF PROPERTIES WITH AGRICULTURAL OPERATIONS.

THAT WAS THE NUMBER ONE OBJECTIVE SET IN FRONT OF US BY TOWN COUNCIL AND TOWN MANAGEMENT TO MAKE THIS AMENDMENT,

[00:20:02]

THERE ARE SEVERAL SIDE EFFECTS BESIDES LOSING MATURE TREE CANOPIES, WHICH PROVIDES A LOT OF BENEFITS.

PROVIDING A SHADE FROM URBAN HEAT ISLANDS PROVIDES US THAT RURAL CHARACTER THAT IS SO UNIQUE TO SUNNYVALE, AND IT'S NOT EASILY REPLICATED BECAUSE ONCE YOU LOSE THE CANOPY COVER OF MATURE TREES.

IT TAKES 20 PLUS YEARS TO GAIN THOSE BACK. SO THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT AND VITAL ASSET TO THE COMMUNITY THAT WE WANTED TO RESPECT AND REFLECT IN THIS AMENDMENT, THAT WHY WE'RE DOING THIS. THE OTHER IMPORTANT SIDE EFFECT OR BENEFIT OF PRESERVING MATURE TREE CANOPY IS IT HAS BENEFITS IN TERMS OF INCREASING WATER FILTRATION.

SO IT REDUCES STORMWATER RUNOFF, SO IMPROVES DRAINAGE OF UNDEVELOPED PROPERTIES AS WELL AS DEVELOPED PROPERTIES.

IT PROVIDES IMPORTANT HABITAT AND OTHER NATURAL BENEFITS FOR THE TOWN.

ALSO, JUST FROM PURE ECONOMIC STANDPOINT, WE HAVE LEARNED THIS THROUGH OUR OWN PROPERTIES AS WELL AS PROPERTIES IN RESEARCH THAT ANY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY THAT HAS EVERYTHING ELSE REMAINS CONSTANT. IF YOU HAVE MATURE TREES ON A RESIDENTIAL LOT, THAT LOT IS USUALLY VALUED HIGHER, EVEN FROM A REAL ESTATE STANDPOINT, BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY ADDS TRUE ECONOMIC DOLLAR VALUE TO A LOT OR A PROPERTY.

SECOND ASPECT OF THE AMENDMENT IS CLARIFY REQUIREMENTS, PROCEDURE AND ENFORCEMENT.

THERE WERE A LOT OF AMBIGUITY AND UNCLEAR STATEMENTS IN THE ORDINANCE OR NOT STATEMENTS, BUT SECTIONS THAT WERE NOT FLOWING PROPERLY WHERE SOMEONE WAS READING THE ORDINANCE BUT NOT REALLY GETTING THE CLEAR PICTURE.

AND MAYBE THAT SOMEONE WAS JUST ASKED. BUT EVEN THEN WE WANTED TO CLARIFY THE REQUIREMENTS AND MAKE SURE IT'S EASY TO FOLLOW AND UNDERSTAND WHAT IS REQUIRED OF THE RESIDENTS AND THE APPLICANTS AND DEVELOPERS IN FUTURE, AND THE EXEMPT AND PROTECTED TREE LIST.

WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO MORE DETAIL ON THAT. RIGHT NOW FIRST OF ALL, WE ARE EXPANDING ON BOTH.

AND THE SECOND IMPORTANT ASPECT IS THE PROTECTED TREE LIST OR RECOMMENDED TREE LIST.

RIGHT NOW WAS NOT PART OF THE CURRENT ORDINANCE.

IT WAS A FREESTANDING LIST. WITH THIS AMENDMENT, WE ARE EXPANDING ON THE PROTECTED TREE LIST AND ALSO MAKING IT PART OF THE ORDINANCE.

THAT WAY IT'S ENFORCEABLE. SORRY. HABIT. SO THE FIRST ASPECT OF AGRICULTURAL OPERATIONS ARE USE. THE STATE LAW EXEMPTS MOST ALL THE PROPERTIES WITHIN TEXAS THAT IF THEY HAVE AGRICULTURAL USE OR OPERATIONS, THEN THEY'RE EXEMPT FROM ANY TOWN OR CITY ENFORCING THEIR TREE PRESERVATION ORDINANCE OR TREE PROTECTION STANDARDS TO COMPLY WITH THAT REQUIREMENT.

WE HAD, UNDER OUR CURRENT UDO SECTION 3.0603 C1 A A BLANKET EXEMPTION.

IT JUST SAID ON THE LEFT SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN PROPERTY BEING ACTIVELY USED FOR AGRICULTURAL PURPOSES SHALL BE EXEMPT FROM THE REQUIREMENTS SPECIFIED HEREIN.

SO ANY REQUIREMENT, WHETHER IT'S A TREE PERMIT SUBMITTAL, WHETHER THEY HAVE TO DO A TREE SURVEY, NOTHING WAS REQUIRED. IF YOU IF THE PROPERTY OWNER COULD CLAIM AGRICULTURAL EXEMPTION WITH THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT.

WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO IS WE ARE TRYING TO PREVENT THAT BLANKET EXEMPTION.

WE ARE STILL COMPLYING WITH STATE LAW, AND THAT'S WHERE OUR TOWN ATTORNEY'S OFFICE HELPED US.

KIND OF REVIEW THE DRAFT AND MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE NOT VIOLATING ANY STATE LAW.

WHAT WE ARE SAYING IS WITH THIS AMENDMENT THAT IF A PROPERTY IS BEING USED FOR AGRICULTURAL OPERATIONS AS DEFINED OR AS OUTLINED UNDER THE TEXAS AGRICULTURAL CODE SECTION 251 002, THEY SHALL BE EXEMPT FROM THE TREE REPLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS IN THIS ORDINANCE.

IF A TREE REMOVAL PERMIT APPLICATION MEETING THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS IS SUBMITTED AND APPROVED, AND THEN IT GOES ON TO SAY WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS? BASICALLY, THEY HAVE TO PROVIDE A TREE SURVEY OR A CANOPY DELINEATION PLAN.

IF THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN OR SITE PLAN, ETC. IS SUBMITTED WITHIN 60 MONTHS OF PERMIT APPROVAL.

MITIGATION WILL BE REQUIREMENT AND WILL BE CALCULATED BASED ON THE TREE SURVEY.

SO ALL WE ARE ASKING THE PROPERTY OWNERS WHO HAVE A CURRENT VALID AGRICULTURAL USE OR OPERATIONS IF THEY WANT TO CUT DOWN ANY TREE ON THE PROPERTY BY STATE LAW, THEY ARE EXEMPT AND WE ARE SAYING, YES, YOU CAN CUT DOWN PROTECTED TREES EVEN, BUT YOU HAVE TO STILL PROVIDE US A TREE SURVEY OR A CANOPY DELINEATION PLAN.

WHAT THAT DOES IS IT PROVIDES US ACCOUNTABILITY ON BOTH SIDES.

THEY LET US KNOW VIA CERTIFIED ARBORIST OR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT ON THAT SURVEY OR PLAN THAT THESE ARE THE TREES AND THE CALIPER INCHES WE ARE REMOVING.

SOME OF THEM MIGHT BE PROTECTED, SOME OF THEM MIGHT BE EXEMPT. THEY EXEMPT. TREES ARE NOT GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO BE MITIGATED.

HOWEVER, IF WITHIN 60 MONTHS OF THAT TREE SURVEY OR TREE PERMIT APPROVAL WHERE THEY HAVE CUT DOWN,

[00:25:03]

A SINGLE FAMILY SUBDIVISION OR SOME COMMERCIAL PROJECTS, SOME KIND OF CHANGE IN USE THAT REQUIRES A SITE PLAN SUBMITTAL OR A ZONING APPLICATION, OR SOME KIND OF A PLAN SUBMITTAL TO THE TOWN.

THEN WE WILL REQUIRE THOSE PROTECTED TREES THAT WERE REMOVED WITHOUT MITIGATION TO BE MITIGATED.

SO THAT'S THE SUBSECTION C WHICH SAYS TREE SURVEY THAT WAS APPROVED AS PART OF THAT PERMIT WILL BE USED TO CALCULATE MITIGATION.

SO THIS PREVENTS PEOPLE EXPLOITING THAT STATE EXEMPTION AND CLEARCUTTING THEIR PROPERTY WITHOUT ANY CLAWBACK SITUATION FOR THE TOWN AFTER 60 MONTHS. IDEALLY THEY ARE STILL EXEMPT BECAUSE AFTER 60 MONTHS THAT'S IN ANOTHER TERM IS CALLED THE STATUTE OF LIMITATION. WE ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE THEM COMPLY OR MITIGATE IF THAT 60 MONTH TIME PERIOD HAS PASSED.

BUT WITHIN 60 MONTHS, IF SOMEONE TRIES TO DEVELOP THAT AGRICULTURAL USE PROPERTY.

THEY WILL HAVE TO MITIGATE THOSE TREES THAT WERE CUT DOWN.

THANK YOU. ON THE PROCEDURAL CLARITY AND REQUIREMENT ASPECT WHAT WE REALIZED WHILE WORKING ON THIS ORDINANCE AND ALSO PRESENTING TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AT THE PUBLIC HEARING IN DECEMBER 18TH, IS THAT MANY EXISTING RESIDENTS OR HOMEOWNERS WEREN'T VERY CLEAR ABOUT WHAT THE REQUIREMENTS ARE. THAT WHY WOULD I HAVE TO SUBMIT FOR A TREE REMOVAL PERMIT WITH A TREE SURVEY? I OWN MY HOME. I HAVE TWO TREES. I JUST DON'T LIKE THE TREES I HAVE RECEIVED.

RESIDENTS COME TO THE COUNTER AND SAY, WELL, I HAD THREE TREES THAT WERE PUT IN BY THE BUILDER, BUT I DIDN'T LIKE THEM, SO I REMOVED THEM. NOW THE HOA IS SAYING I HAVE TO MITIGATE THEM.

WHY DO I HAVE TO DO THAT? WELL, THERE WERE SOME CONFUSION IN TERMS OF WHAT IS REQUIRED AND WHAT IS NOT.

WITH THIS AMENDMENT, WE ARE TRYING TO CLARIFY AT WHAT STAGE A TREE REMOVAL PERMIT IS REQUIRED AND WHAT IS PROTECTED, VERSUS WHAT CAN BE REMOVED WITHOUT ANY PERMIT.

SO YOU CAN SEE ON THIS TABLE BY STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT, MOSTLY IF THEY HAVE A ZONING CHANGE APPLICATION, IF THEY HAVE A SITE PLAN APPLICATION, ANY KIND OF PLAT APPLICATION.

THOSE ARE THE STAGES WHERE A TREE SURVEY AND TREE PROTECTION PLAN WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THE BUILDING PERMIT.

YOU WILL NOTICE THERE IS AN ASTERISK BECAUSE IF BUILDING PERMIT IS KIND OF THE THIRD STAGE THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT CYCLE, SOMEONE WILL FIRST HAVE TO GET A SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR NONRESIDENTIAL OR A PLAT APPROVAL FOR RESIDENTIAL BEFORE THEY GET TO BUILDING PERMIT.

SO THE ASTERISK BASICALLY IS TRYING TO SAY, IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A APPROVED TREE PERMIT IN ANY OF YOUR PREVIOUS PLANNING PROCESS, THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO SUBMIT FOR ANOTHER TREE REMOVAL PERMIT WHEN YOU'RE COMING IN FOR BUILDING PERMIT, BECAUSE ON OUR RECORDS, WE WILL ALREADY HAVE YOUR PRE-APPROVED TREE PROTECTION PLAN OR TREE REMOVAL PERMIT APPLICATION.

I'LL GIVE A RECENT EXAMPLE. WE LOOKED AT THE HOMESTEAD PHASE SEVEN DEVELOPMENT.

THAT'S A TYPICAL RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION. WHEN THEY DID THEIR PRELIMINARY PLAT, WE STILL ASKED THEM TO DO A TREE REMOVAL SURVEY AND PERMIT APPLICATION, EVEN THOUGH THAT IS NOT GOING TO BE FINAL TILL THEIR FINAL PLAT IS SUBMITTED TO US.

BUT THEY SHOWED US WHAT TYPICALLY THE LOT LAYOUT WAS AND WHERE THE TREES CAN BE PROTECTED AND WHERE THE TREES HAVE TO BE REMOVED.

AND WE TOLD THEM THAT, OKAY, IF THESE ARE NOT ON THE EXEMPT TREE LIST, THEN THEY HAVE TO BE MITIGATED.

SO THAT'S THE PROCESS. AND WHAT STAGE A PERMIT IS REQUIRED AND NOT REQUIRED IS BEING CLARIFIED.

A QUICK QUESTION. I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOU, BUT SOMETHING I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT IN THIS, IF WE HAVE A NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS SUBMITTED A SITE PLAN BUT HASN'T COME IN FOR BUILDING PERMITS.

ONCE THIS ORDINANCE IS IF THEY IF THIS ORDINANCE PASSES BEFORE A BUILDING PERMIT COMES IN, WILL THEY STILL BE SUBJECT TO THE ORDINANCE? YES, SIR.

SO THEY WOULD FALL UNDER. OKAY. WE DID SITE PLAN.

NOW IT'S BUILDING ORDINANCE THAT'S GOING TO REQUIRE BUILDING PERMITS CAN REQUIRE YOU TO.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE GRANDFATHERED. I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THE ORDINANCE ALREADY REQUIRES ANY NEW DEVELOPMENT TO APPLY FOR A TREE REMOVAL PERMIT APPLICATION. WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO WITH THIS AMENDMENT IS CLARIFY THAT REQUIREMENT, BECAUSE IT WAS NEVER REALLY CLEAR THAT, OKAY, WHAT ARE THE STAGES WHERE WE ARE SUBMITTING FOR THE TREE REMOVAL PERMIT OR THE TREE SURVEY? SO THIS TABLE IS BASICALLY CLARIFYING THE STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT.

HOWEVER, RIGHT NOW ALL THE PROJECTS THAT ARE COMING TO THE CITY, IF IT'S A NEW PROJECT THEY REQUIRE TO SUBMIT FOR TREE REMOVAL OR TREE,

[00:30:02]

HAS THAT BEEN IN YOUR EXPERIENCE HERE? HAS THAT BEEN HAPPENING ROUTINELY WITH NEW DEVELOPMENTS? YES. SO FOR. THAT'S WHY I WAS USING THE EXAMPLE OF HOMESTEAD.

SAME WITH THE CAR WASH PROJECT THAT WENT THROUGH GATEWAY PARK.

ALSO WHEN THE TOM THUMB PROJECT CAME IN, THEY HAD SUBMITTED TREE SURVEY AND TREE REMOVAL PERMIT.

BUT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND, MOST OF THOSE TREES WERE SHOWN AS HACKBERRIES OR MESQUITES, AND THEY ARE EXEMPT AND THEY ARE GOING TO BE EXEMPT IN THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT AS WELL.

AND JUST TO CLARIFY, OUR PROBLEMS HAVE NOT REALLY BEEN WITH NEW DEVELOPMENTS.

IT'S BEEN WITH AGRICULTURAL AGRICULTURAL USE OF CLEARCUTTING.

RIGHT. THANK YOU. RIGHT. THE ONLY I WOULD SAY ADDITIONAL CLARITY IS FOR EXISTING DEVELOPMENTS.

IF YOU NOTICE THAT IF WE ARE ADDING THAT CLAUSE, THAT IF IT'S A BUILDING ADDITION OF MORE THAN OR LESS THAN 50%, THEN THE ONLY THE EXPANSION AREA THEY HAVE TO COMPLY.

AND THIS IS MORE IN TUNE WITH COMMERCIAL PROJECTS BECAUSE FOR A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, VERY RARELY YOU WILL GET THAT LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT OR THAT LEVEL OF COMPLIANCE ISSUE.

FOR A SINGLE FAMILY HOME EDITION WHERE YOU ARE ADDING A BEDROOM, SAY FOR EXAMPLE.

THEY ARE STILL REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE TREE SURVEY OR TREE REMOVAL PERMIT, BUT WE ARE CLARIFYING IT MORE FOR NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND EXISTING COMMERCIAL PROJECTS.

IF THEY ARE ADDING A PORTION WITHIN THE STRIP CENTER DEVELOPMENT ON BELTLINE, THEN WHAT THEY WILL HAVE TO DO.

RIGHT NOW, IT DOES NOT CLEARLY SAY HOW THEY HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE TREE ORDINANCE.

THANK YOU. SO THE EXEMPTS TREE LIST. I KNOW THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION ON THE EXEMPT TREE LIST.

AND A SIMPLE COMPARISON IS ON THE LEFT SIDE IS THE CURRENT ORDINANCE, WHERE THERE WERE SEVEN SEVEN TREES LISTED THAT WERE EXEMPT.

AND IT WAS SAID THAT ANY TREE THAT IS NOT PART OF THAT SEVEN TREES LISTED ARE PROTECTED.

SO ON THE RIGHT SIDE, UNDER THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT WE ARE BORROWING OR WE ARE USING THE LIST OF, TREES AND PLANTS THAT ARE ON THE TEXAS AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT'S NOXIOUS AND INVASIVE PLANT SPECIES LIST.

AND IT CLEARLY SAYS ON THE LIST THAT DUE TO OUR TOWN BEING CLOSE TO THE LAKE, RAY HUBBARD, IT'S ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT THOSE TREES ARE GOING TO BE EXEMPT BECAUSE OR THEY ARE PART OF THOSE NOXIOUS OR INVASIVE SPECIES LIST THAT'S GOING TO AFFECT THE HABITAT OR THE WETLAND HABITATS OF PROPERTIES THAT ARE CLOSE PROXIMITY WITHIN THE LAKE.

SO IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, YOU WILL SEE THE LIST HAS BEEN ACTUALLY EXPANDED TO 34 EXEMPT TREES OR PLANTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE EXEMPT.

SO ANY OF THESE TREES OR PLANTS THAT ARE BEING TAKEN OUT, THEY WILL NOT HAVE TO MITIGATE.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE FROM THE CURRENT ORDINANCE TO THE NEW ORDINANCE IS WE ARE TAKING OUT CEDAR TREES FROM THE EXEMPT LIST, BECAUSE THE CURRENT ORDINANCE EXEMPTS CEDAR TREES THAT ARE LESS THAN 11 CALIPER INCHES IN SIZE.

WE COMPARED WITH OTHER CITIES THAT HAVE TREE PROTECTION STANDARDS WITHIN THE METROPLEX, SUCH AS FLOWER MOUND, SOUTHLAKE AND OTHER VARIOUS MUNICIPALITIES. NO ONE HAD LISTED CEDAR TREES AS EXEMPT TREES THAT CAN BE CUT DOWN IRRESPECTIVE OF THE SIZE.

SO THAT WAS THE REASONING BEHIND US REMOVING CEDAR TREE FROM THE EXEMPT LIST.

IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. OTHER KEY CHANGES.

THE PENALTY ASPECT OF SOMEONE REMOVING TREES OR PROTECTED TREES WITHOUT SUBMITTING FOR A TREE REMOVAL PERMIT.

AND IT DOES HAPPEN PRETTY OFTEN, MOSTLY WITH BIGGER OPERATORS LIKE COMMERCIAL OPERATORS.

NOT SO MUCH WITH RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY HOMEOWNERS.

RIGHT NOW THERE IS NO PENALTY. SO IF SOMEONE REMOVES IT 20 PLUS TREES ON A PROPERTY AND COMES AND SAYS THAT, OKAY, WE HAVE REMOVED THOSE WITHOUT ANY PERMIT.

WELL, FIRST OF ALL, THEY HAVE TO BE CAUGHT THAT THEY HAVE REMOVED CERTAIN TREES.

AND IF THEY ARE CAUGHT AND THEY COME TO US, WE CAN ONLY ASK THEM, OKAY, YOU HAVE TO MITIGATE TO COMPLY WITH OUR ORDINANCE.

AND IF YOU CANNOT, THERE ARE TWO WAYS THEY CAN MITIGATE REMOVE TREES.

ONE IS TO MITIGATE THEM PER CALIPER ON THE PROPERTY, AND IF THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ROOM ON THEIR PROPERTY, THEN THEY CAN PAY $150 RIGHT NOW PER CALIPER INCH IN THE TREE REFORESTATION FUND TO MITIGATE EQUIVALENT AMOUNT OF TREES THAT THE TOWN CAN USE THE FUNDS TO REPLACE ON, SAY, PUBLIC PROPERTIES OR PARKS OR RIGHT OF WAYS, MEDIANS, ETC..

WITH THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT, WE ARE INTRODUCING A PENALTY BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THERE IS NO NO CORRECTIVE MEASURE OR PUNITIVE MEASURE FOR PEOPLE REMOVING TREES WITHOUT A PERMIT. SO IF SOMEONE REMOVES 20 PLUS TREES ACCOUNTING FOR, SAY, 250 CALIPER INCH, THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY A PENALTY OF 250 PER CALIPER INCH OF FINE. AND THEN THEY WILL HAVE TO MITIGATE.

[00:35:02]

WE'RE INCREASING THAT TO 200 PER CALIPER INCH.

THIS IS BASED ON THE INCREASE IN TREE REPLACEMENT COST, BECAUSE THE CURRENT ORDINANCE ALSO STATES THAT THIS DOLLAR AMOUNT IS COMPARABLE TO HOW IF YOU GO TO THE MARKET TOMORROW AND TRY TO FIND A REPLACEMENT TREE, HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO COST US.

SO WE HAVE, COMPARED WITH OUR CURRENT MARKET RATE AND INCREASED THAT NUMBER TO REFLECT CURRENT MARKET RATE.

ANOTHER KEY CHANGE OR I WOULD CALL THAT MORE AS A CLARIFICATION, IS WE ARE DEFINING WHAT IS A PROTECTED TREE.

SO WE ARE SAYING ANY TREE THAT IS MORE THAN THREE CALIPER INCHES OR HIGHER IN SIZE, AND THEY ARE NOT ON THE NOXIOUS OR INVASIVE PLANT LIST, THEY ARE PROTECTED BECAUSE UNDER THE CURRENT ORDINANCE, THERE WAS NO CLARIFICATION ON WHAT IS A PROTECTED TREE.

IT ONLY SAID ANYTHING THAT IS NOT ON THOSE SIX EXEMPT TREE LIST IS PROTECTED IRRESPECTIVE OF SIZE.

SO WE ARE CLEARING THE CONFUSION ON THAT ASPECT.

OTHER KEY CHANGES. THE TREE CREDIT UNDER THE CURRENT ORDINANCE THAT LEFT TABLE.

THAT'S HOW THE CURRENT ORDINANCE READS. WE ARE MAKING IT MORE BENEFICIAL FOR PROPERTY OWNERS TO PRESERVE EXISTING TREES.

SO IF SOMEONE PRESERVES LESS THAN SIX CALIPER INCH ANY TREE, ANY PROTECTED TREE, LESS THAN SIX CALIPER INCH, THEY CAN GET A CREDIT OF ONE TREE. RIGHT NOW IT'S 6 TO 8IN IS ONE TREE, 9 TO 30IN ONE AND A HALF.

AND WE HAVE INCREASED THAT SCALE WHERE IT'S MORE BENEFICIAL TO PRESERVE EXISTING TREES THAN PLANT NEW TREES.

AND THESE NEW TREE CREDITS CAN BE USED TO MEET LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS.

SO FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT, OF COURSE, WE HAVE LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS FOR TREES OR SHADE TREES FOR EVERY LINEAR FEET.

SAVE THE PROPERTIES ALONG BELT LINE OR SOUTH COLLINS ROAD.

THEN, IF THEY'RE PRESERVING ANY OF THE MATURE TREES, THEY CAN USE THEIR TREE CREDIT TOWARDS THEIR NEW LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENT.

NO CHANGES TO THE ORDINANCE. I WANTED TO CLARIFY.

IN MANY SCENARIOS, THE EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY PROPERTIES THERE IS MINIMAL IMPACT OR ALMOST NO IMPACT TO EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY HOMEOWNERS.

CURRENTLY, THE ORDINANCE SAYS THIS IS THE TREE REQUIREMENT FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS AND WE ARE NOT CHANGING THAT REQUIREMENT, WHICH IS WHAT PROPERTIES THAT ARE ONE ACRE OR LARGER.

THEY HAVE TO HAVE THREE MINIMUM TREES AND PROPERTIES THAT ARE LESS THAN ONE ACRE.

THEY HAVE TO HAVE TWO MINIMUM TREES FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS, WITH THE CAVEAT BEING IF THE HOMEOWNER IF THE SUBDIVISION IS WITHIN A HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION CONTROL, THEN THEY ARE SUPERSEDE OUR REQUIREMENT.

SO IF THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION REQUIRES THOSE THREE MATURE TREES IN THE FRONT YARD, THEN THAT'S A REQUIREMENT AND NOT NECESSARILY A REQUIREMENT THAT STILL HAS TO BE MET. UP. WITH THAT BEING SAID, THAT'S A NO CHANGE FROM OUR AMENDMENT.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. ON THE EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY OWNER, HOMEOWNERS OR SINGLE FAMILY LOTS, ANOTHER CLARIFICATION IS UNDER THE EXEMPTION SECTION.

IT SAYS I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT KIND OF MY APOLOGIES.

SOMEHOW THE FOOTNOTE KIND OF GOT SMOOSHED WITH THE TEXT.

DON'T KNOW HOW THAT HAPPENED. EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ARE GENERALLY EXEMPT.

WHAT? I'M SORRY, WHAT IS GOING ON? EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ARE GENERALLY EXEMPT UNLESS THE TREES ARE DESIGNATED FOR PROTECTION ON AN APPROVED TREE PROTECTION PLAN.

TO EXPLAIN THAT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF OF THAT SLIDE, THERE IS A SNAPSHOT OF AN EXISTING TREE PROTECTION PLAN FROM STONEY CREEK SUBDIVISION, I BELIEVE. PHASE THREE B I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH YOU CAN SEE IN THIS SCALE ON THE SLIDE.

THERE ARE SOME RED DOT GREEN DOTS AND BLUE DOTS.

THE RED DOTS ON THE PLAN MEANS THOSE TREES ARE GOING TO BE REMOVED OR NOT PROTECTED.

THE BLUE DOTS MEAN THE TREES WILL BE REMOVED.

HOWEVER THEY WILL BE MITIGATED AND THE GREEN DOTS MEAN THOSE TREES ARE GOING TO BE PROTECTED.

AND THAT'S HOW THE PLAN WAS APPROVED WHEN THAT SUBDIVISION PLAT WAS PROCESSED THROUGH THE TOWN.

WHAT THE ORDINANCE CURRENTLY SAYS, AND WE'RE NOT CHANGING THAT REQUIREMENT IS IF AN, SAY, ONCE THE BUILDER HAS BUILT THE HOME LOT AND THE AND THE NEW HOMEOWNER HAS MOVED IN THREE YEARS DOWN THE ROAD, ONE OF THOSE GREEN DOT TREES THAT ARE NOT NECESSARILY TYPICALLY A REQUIRED TREE, PER THE ORDINANCE, WHICH WAS THE THREE SAID THEY ALREADY HAVE THE TWO TREES FOR LESS THAN ONE ACRE LOT.

HOWEVER, THAT ONE GREEN DOT IS OUTSIDE OF THE TRUE TWO TREES THAT WAS REQUIRED BY ORDINANCE, BUT IT WAS SHOWN ON THAT PROTECTION PLAN, THAT TREE WOULD STILL BE REQUIRED TO BE PROTECTED.

AND IF IT'S REMOVED BY THE HOMEOWNER, THAT HAS TO BE MITIGATED.

[00:40:02]

WE HAVE REFERRED TO THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, CHAPTER 215 .212.905.

BECAUSE STATE LAW ALSO REQUIRES FOR EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY HOMEOWNERS AND THEIR SINGLE FAMILY LOTS, ANY PROTECTED TREE THAT IS MORE THAN TEN CALIPER INCHES IN SIZE HAVE TO BE PROTECTED.

SO THOSE ARE THE TWO CAVEATS. WE HAVE TO REMIND OURSELVES THAT IF IT'S AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY HOME, MORE THAN LIKELY UNLESS THEY ARE REMOVING A MATURE TREE THAT IS MORE THAN TEN INCHES IN SIZE, THEY DON'T HAVE TO COMPLY. IF IT'S FIRST RULE OF THUMB IS IF IT'S MORE THAN TEN CALIPER INCHES IN SIZE, STATE LAW SUPERSEDES OURS AND THEY ALREADY ARE REQUIRED TO PROTECT THAT.

THEN THE SECOND ASPECT IS IF IT'S PART OF A PLATTED SUBDIVISION, IF THEY HAD A TREE PROTECTION PLAN WHICH IDENTIFY A CERTAIN TREE THAT WAS PART OF THE OVERALL SUBDIVISION TREE PROTECTION PLAN, THEN THAT TREE HAS TO BE MITIGATED IF IT'S REMOVED BY THE HOMEOWNER.

I REALIZED THAT THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS CAUSING A LOT OF CONFUSION WHEN WE FIRST PRESENTED THIS.

SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE SPEND A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME ON THIS TOPIC.

AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

THEN WE CAN TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THIS ON THIS ISSUE.

YES. MOVING ON TO THE TOWARDS THE TAIL END OF THE PRESENTATION, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND RESIDENT FEEDBACK, WE PRESENTED THE ORDINANCE AT A PUBLIC HEARING ON DECEMBER 18TH TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

AND QUITE A FEW RESIDENTS ALSO ATTENDED THE PUBLIC HEARING AND HAD QUESTIONS OR ASKED FOR CLARIFICATION.

THOSE WERE THE THREE MAIN, THE TOP THREE ITEMS. THOSE WERE THE RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE MOTION FOR THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

THEY HAD REQUESTED EXISTING TREE ROOT CAUSING DAMAGE TO AN EXISTING STRUCTURE OR UTILITY BE EXEMPT FROM TREE PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS.

THEY HAD RECOMMENDED THAT THE FEE REQUIREMENT FOR TREE PERMIT APPLICATION FOR AGRICULTURAL OPERATIONS BE WAIVED.

AND THEN THEY HAD ALSO REQUESTED AN EXISTING AGRICULTURAL OPERATION WITH LESS THAN SIX ACRES IN SIZE BE EXEMPT FROM THIS ORDINANCE.

AND THE RESIDENTS HAVE ALSO VOICED CONCERN THAT WE NEED TO CLARIFY UNDER OUR EXEMPTION SECTION THAT ORCHARDS ARE LIKE PECAN ORCHARDS THAT ARE EXISTING IN SUNNYVALE SHOULD BE EXEMPT FROM THE ORDINANCE.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AFTER DISCUSSING THIS INTERNALLY WITH STAFF AS WELL AS THE TOWN MANAGER AND ALSO WITH THE TOWN ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, OUR RECOMMENDATION WAS TO RETAIN THE FLAT FEE OF $400.

RIGHT NOW, THE FLAT FEE OF $400 IS REQUIRED FOR TREE REMOVAL PERMIT FOR ANY PROPERTY, WHETHER IT'S SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, WHETHER IT'S COMMERCIAL, WHETHER IT'S AGRICULTURAL.

WE ARE WORKING THROUGH THE TOWN MANAGER'S OFFICE AND THE TOWN MANAGER'S OFFICE ON A COMPREHENSIVE CITYWIDE FEE.

SCHEDULE AMENDMENT. ONE OF THE OPTIONS WE HAVE, WE ARE LOOKING INTO, IN TERMS OF THE FLAT FEE OF $400, IS WE CAN MAKE IT A SLIDING FEE SO THAT PROPERTY OWNERS THAT HAVE WHO HAVE LESS THAN SIX ACRES IN SIZE OF THE PROPERTY, WE CAN REDUCE THE FEE FOR THEM. AND WHEN THE PROPERTY GOES MORE THAN SIX ACRES, WE CAN INCREASE THAT DELTA LIKE FOR EVERY ADDITIONAL ACRE, YOU PAY A CERTAIN ADDITIONAL FEE BECAUSE THAT'S HOW THE ZONING CHANGE APPLICATION FEE IS STRUCTURED.

WE HAVE A BASE FEE. AND THEN FOR PROPERTIES THAT ARE MORE THAN CERTAIN ACRES, THE FEE IS HIGHER.

WE ARE LOOKING INTO THAT OPTION, BUT RIGHT NOW STAFF IS RECOMMENDING TO UNTIL THAT CHANGE HAPPENS.

RIGHT NOW, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING TO RETAIN THAT FLAT FEE OF $400, BECAUSE THE $400 FLAT FEE BASICALLY COVERS THE ADMINISTRATIVE TIME AND STAFF TIME TO REVIEW TREE REMOVAL PERMITS, AND ALSO NOT TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN AGRICULTURAL PROPERTIES THAT ARE LESS THAN SIX ACRES IN SIZE AND MORE THAN SIX ACRES IN SIZE. BECAUSE WE ALWAYS HAVE TO BE WARY OF THE LOOPHOLES THAT WE CREATE UNKNOWINGLY IN THE ORDINANCES.

AND AS COUNCILMAN FINCH ALWAYS CATCHES THOSE.

AND BECAUSE THIS WOULD, I CAN FORESEE THIS BEING USED AS SOMEONE HAS A LARGE AGRICULTURAL OPERATIONS PROPERTY, MAYBE, SAY, 50 ACRES, THEY CAN TRY TO SPLIT THAT PROPERTY INTO SIX ACRE INCREMENTS AND START APPLYING FOR TREE REMOVAL PERMITS.

SIMPLY TO AVOID THE PROCESS OR BECAUSE THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE COMMISSION WAS IF A PROPERTY IS LESS THAN SIX ACRES, THEY DON'T HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE TREE REMOVAL PERMIT PROCESS OR THE ORDINANCE.

SO THAT WAS AGAIN GOING TO BE A BLANKET EXEMPTION.

AND WE KNOW WE WANT TO FALL IN THAT SAME LOOPHOLE AGAIN.

AND THEN TREES REMOVED FOR ROOT DAMAGE. WE HAVE ADDED THAT EXEMPTION UNDER THE SUBSECTION F.

[00:45:06]

I THINK THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR THE TREE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT PRESENTATION TONIGHT.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER.

THANK YOU SIR. I KNOW, THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION.

TAKES TIME TO BUILD. ALL THAT TAKES TIME TO BUILD AN ORDINANCE. SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT WORK.

COUNCIL. ANY QUESTIONS FOR SARAIVA. OKAY. YEAH.

JUST A COUPLE OF THOUGHTS. I WANTED CLARIFICATION ON THE MITIGATION PLAN.

IF WE REQUIRE PEOPLE TO MITIGATE, ARE WE REQUIRING IRRIGATION OR SOME TYPE OF MY FEAR IS THAT SOMEBODY JUST HAS TO GO OUT AND MITIGATE SOME TREES AND JUST GO STICK IN THE GROUND AND FORGET ABOUT IT.

WELL, AND IN THIS WEATHER IN THE SUMMER, IT'S DEAD IN A FEW MONTHS.

SO I'M CURIOUS, DO WE HAVE ANY IS THERE ANYTHING IN THE ORDINANCE THAT ADDRESSES.

AND IF THERE IS, THAT'S FINE. YOU JUST TELL ME WHAT IT IS. IF IF IT'S IN THERE, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S COVERED.

NO, THAT IS A VERY GOOD QUESTION. COUNCILMAN.

BECAUSE THE CURRENT ORDINANCE DID NOT HAVE THE IRRIGATION CLARIFICATION IN THERE, BECAUSE THAT IS RIGHT NOW PART OF OUR LANDSCAPING SECTION WITH THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT AT THE VERY LAST SUBSECTION, WHICH IS NUMBER FOUR OF.

SO IT'S UNDER TREE MAINTENANCE AND AND ENFORCEMENT.

SO THAT SECTION J. SO J FOR WE HAVE ADDED IRRIGATION STANDARDS.

ALL NEW REPLACEMENT TREES PLANTED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS ORDINANCE SHALL MEET THE MAINTENANCE AND IRRIGATION STANDARDS IN SECTION 3.0602 LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS.

SO IF SOMEONE IS REPLACING TREES TO MEET THIS ORDINANCE'S REQUIREMENTS, THEY ALSO HAVE TO MEET THE IRRIGATION REQUIREMENTS AS OUTLINED IN THE LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE.

DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? ONE OTHER JUST CLARIFYING QUESTION.

WE TALKED ABOUT THE PERMIT FEE. THAT'S NOT IN THE ORDINANCE.

THE PERMITS NOT THE FEE IS NOT IN THE ORDINANCE, IS IT? THAT IS PART OF OUR MASTER FEE SCHEDULE. RIGHT.

SO IT'S SEPARATE IT'S A SEPARATE ORDINANCE OUTSIDE OF.

OKAY. SO WE HAVE TO CHANGE A BUNCH OF THINGS.

AND SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. OKAY. IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL, I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

ANY MEMBERS OF THE AUDIENCE LIKE TO COME FORWARD AND SPEAK ABOUT THIS PROPOSED ORDINANCE? PLEASE COME FORWARD NOW. HAVING SEEN NONE. BECAUSE NONE ARE HERE.

I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. COUNCIL, ANY OTHER COMMENTS? I HAVE A QUESTION. GO RIGHT AHEAD. I HAVE A QUESTION.

IS THERE ANY TIMELINE FOR THE MITIGATION OR THE.

TYPICALLY, WE HAVEN'T LISTED A TIMELINE FOR MITIGATION, BUT WHAT WE NORMALLY DO AS A, AS A PRACTICE IS IF SOMEONE IS HAVING TO REPLACE TREES DURING, SAY, THE HEAT OF THE SUMMER MONTHS OR SAY DURING THE WINTER MONTHS, WE TYPICALLY ALLOW THEM A SIX MONTH EXTENSION SO THAT THEY CAN PLANT REPLACEMENT TREES OR REPLACEMENT OR LANDSCAPING EVEN DURING THE ACTUAL GROWING SEASON. THAT WAY, WHATEVER, THE REPLACE DOESN'T DIE IMMEDIATELY, AND WE DO THAT AS A PRACTICE FOR EVEN NEW LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS, BECAUSE SOMETIMES CONSTRUCTIONS YOU CANNOT FORESEE WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO GET TO THAT STAGE, BECAUSE THAT'S THE LAST STAGE OF CONSTRUCTION.

WHAT I HAVE DONE IN PRACTICE IS I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE ON THAT.

RETAIL PROPERTY ON SOUTH COLLINS. THE DOLLAR DOLLAR TREE.

WHEN THAT SHELL BUILDING WAS DONE THERE, LANDSCAPING, THERE WERE SOME COMPLIANCE ISSUES.

THEY HADN'T INSTALLED EVERYTHING THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE INSTALLED AND IT WAS AROUND SUMMER TIME.

SO WE HAVE ALLOWED THEM TO GO AHEAD AND APPLY FOR A TCO, A TEMPORARY CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT WITHIN SIX MONTHS THEY WILL COMPLY WITH THE LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS, AND THEN WE'LL GIVE THEM THE FINAL SEO WE WOULD DO WE TYPICALLY WOULD DO THE SAME FOR TREE REPLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. JUST A QUICK FOLLOW UP WITH THAT.

I'M WORRIED OBVIOUSLY THINK ABOUT THERE'S A PLACE ALREADY IN TOWN I KNOW THAT IT WAS REQUIRED TO DO CERTAIN THINGS WEREN'T DONE JUST BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THINGS CHANGE AND HAPPEN.

I WORRY ABOUT THE TRACKING OF THE THE BURDEN THAT PUTS ON STAFF TO TRACK THINGS LIKE THAT AND HAVING TO KEEP UP WITH THINGS. AND THEN WE TIE IT TO A CEO.

IF A, YOU KNOW, RESTAURANT WANTS TO OPEN IN TWO WEEKS OR WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT TIED TO THAT.

SO I JUST I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE ANSWER IS. IT SOUNDS LIKE A CONUNDRUM AND HOW TO TRACK THAT KIND OF THING.

[00:50:04]

ABSOLUTELY. YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. AND ACTUALLY, I WAS PROVIDING AN UPDATE TO THE TOWN MANAGER RECENTLY ON A SIMILAR SITUATION WHERE THERE IS NO WAY TO TIE IT WITH A CEO BECAUSE IT'S NOT TIED WITH THE ACTUAL PROJECT.

ON THOSE, THE BEST SOLUTION WE CAN DO IS LIKE AS STAFF, WE TRY TO STAY ON TOP OF IT AND SOMETIMES RUIN RELATIONSHIPS WITH THOSE PEOPLE BECAUSE IT'S LIKE AFTER A CERTAIN POINT, YOU CAN ONLY PUSH SO FAR WITHOUT GETTING TO A POINT WHERE.

BUT WE JUST TRY TO MAINTAIN CONSTANT COMMUNICATIONS AND URGING TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S COMPLIED.

HOWEVER, AS ANY ORDINANCES, IF THEY ARE NOT COMPLIANT, IT'S A RULE OF THUMB THAT AFTER A CERTAIN POINT, WE GIVE THEM THE REASONABLE TIME. AND IF THEY'RE STILL NOT COMPLIANT, WE CAN ALWAYS BRING DOWN THE ENFORCEMENT ARM.

DEPENDING ON THE ENTITY WE ARE WORKING WITH, WE HAVE TO BE MINDFUL AND CAUTIOUS AND, YOU KNOW, WORK THE SOLUTION THAT WAY. YEAH. I JUST YEAH, KNOW IT'S A CONUNDRUM.

I'M NOT. THAT'S A GOOD ANSWER. BUT IT'S A CONUNDRUM THAT I KNOW WE FACE ON MANY DIFFERENT THINGS WHEN IT COMES TO THESE ORDINANCE.

AND WE WE TRY AND GIVE GRACE WHERE GRACE IS NEEDED.

AND SOMETIMES IT WORKS OUT, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ARE WE ALLOWED TO DEVIATE FROM THIS TREE ORDINANCE IN A PD? YES. ACTUALLY, FOR ANY OTHER REQUIREMENT, IF WE IF COUNCIL APPROVES A PD ZONING, JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, WHETHER IT'S LANDSCAPING, BUILDING DESIGN, THEY COULD BE WRITTEN INTO THE PD IN A DIFFERENT FASHION.

SO IT COULD BE LESS OR MORE STRINGENT DEPENDING ON THE PD.

IF YOU ASK MYSELF AS A CERTIFIED PLANNER, FROM MY ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE, PDS WERE MEANT TO ALWAYS BE MORE STRINGENT THAN THE BASIC REQUIREMENT. HOWEVER, IN PRACTICE, AND THIS IS NOT JUST IN SUNNYVALE, ALL OVER TEXAS, PDS ARE USUALLY WRITTEN TO BE LESS RESTRICTIVE.

NOT THAT WE RECOMMEND IT, BUT WE HAVE SEEN IT GO EITHER WAY.

GOOD. THANKS. OKAY, COUNCIL, IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS, I WILL TAKE A MOTION.

MOTION TO APPROVE. MOTION APPROVED BY ELDRIDGE.

CAN I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND? SECOND BY WOODROW.

WELL, THE QUESTIONS ALL IN FAVOR SIGNIFY. NO.

OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES WITH ALL MEMBERS PRESENT VOTING IN FAVOR.

[L. Discussion and Action Items]

BEFORE YOU FOR ITEM AGENDA ITEM L ONE IS A ENGINEERING CONTRACT FOR KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES IN THE AMOUNT OF $497,200. AND THIS CONTRACT IS FOR PREPARING PLANS.

BIDDING DOCUMENTS AND CONSTRUCTION PHASE SERVICES FOR TRAFFIC SIGNAL, OPTIC FIBER INSTALLATION AND INTERSECTION PAVEMENT IMPROVEMENTS ON BELTLINE ROAD BETWEEN TRIPPE ROAD AND TOWNEES BOULEVARD.

AND TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY ON THIS THE TOWN OF SUNNYVALE CURRENTLY OPERATES TWO SIGNALS ON BELTLINE ROAD.

THE SEGMENT OF BELTLINE ROAD THAT'S WITHIN THE TOWN JURISDICTION IS JUST NORTH OF TRIPPE ROAD, TO JUST PAST WHERE THE OLD CATFISH COVE USED TO BE.

SO THAT SEGMENT FROM CATFISH COVE DOWN TO TRIP ROAD, BUT NOT INCLUDING THE TRIPPE ROAD INTERSECTION, IS THE TOWN OF SUNNYVALE'S JURISDICTION. AND IN THAT SEGMENT OF ROADWAY, WE CURRENTLY OPERATE TWO SIGNALS, ONE AT TOWN EAST BOULEVARD AND BELTLINE, AND ONE AT CREEKSIDE AND BELTLINE ROAD.

TRAFFIC RIGHT NOW IS BUILDING ON BELTLINE ROAD.

WE'RE CURRENTLY UP TO 31,000 VEHICLES PER DAY AS A AS AN AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC COUNT ON BELTLINE JUST NORTH OF TRIP.

THAT'S HARD TO BELIEVE. THAT'S BY FAR THE BUSIEST ROADWAY WE HAVE IN OUR THOROUGHFARES IN SUNNYVALE AND 25,000 VEHICLES PER DAY JUST NORTH OF TOWN EAST BOULEVARD. OBVIOUSLY, THOSE COUNTS ARE GOING TO CLIMB.

ADDITIONALLY, AS THE GATEWAY PROJECT DEVELOPS IN THE TOM THUMB AND THE ASSOCIATED RETAIL AND ATHLETIC FIELDS AND SO FORTH IN THAT AREA DEVELOP. WE ALSO HAVE OTHER DEVELOPMENT CURRENTLY GOING ON ON ON BELTLINE ROAD.

[00:55:05]

SO THERE'S A NUMBER OF DEVELOPMENTS UP AND DOWN BELTLINE ROAD THAT ARE IN ONE PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT OR ANOTHER.

THE THE TOWNEES BOULEVARD SIGNAL HAS BEEN MAINTAINED BY THE CITY OF MESQUITE FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE TOWN OF SUNNYVALE SINCE 2006 THROUGH AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT. THERE IS ANOTHER SIGNAL THAT CREEKSIDE, WHICH WAS INSTALLED IN 2015.

THAT ONE IS NOT MAINTAINED BY THE CITY OF MESQUITE.

WE ACTUALLY HIRE OUTSIDE CONSULTANTS TO TIME THE SIGNAL, AND WE UTILIZE A TRAFFIC SIGNAL CONTRACTOR TO DO MAINTENANCE WORK WHEN NEEDED ON THAT PARTICULAR SIGNAL. THIS BECAUSE OF THE ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT AT GATEWAY, THEY'RE BEING REQUIRED TO INSTALL A THIRD SIGNAL ON A BELTLINE ROAD THAT WILL BE WITHIN THE TOWN'S JURISDICTION, THAT IS BETWEEN TOWNEES BOULEVARD AND CREEKSIDE BOULEVARD, AND THAT WILL SERVE THE MAIN ENTRANCE INTO THE TOM THUMB DEVELOPMENT, ASSOCIATED RETAIL, AND ALSO WILL SERVE THE ATHLETIC COMPLEX THAT WILL EVENTUALLY BE BUILT ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THAT DEVELOPMENT.

ALL THESE SIGNALS YOU'VE ALL RUN INTO SITUATIONS LIKE I HAVE WHERE YOU'RE WAITING AT A SIGNAL AND YOU FINALLY GET A GREEN LIGHT AND YOU DRIVE JUST A FEW HUNDREDS OF FEET. YOU RUN INTO ANOTHER SIGNAL, AND THAT SIGNAL IS RED, AND YOU HAVE TO STOP AGAIN, AND YOU GO, WHY? WHY WOULD THEY GIVE ME A GREEN LIGHT AND THE SIGNAL IN FRONT OF ME NOT ALSO HAVE A GREEN LIGHT.

AND SO YOU YOU WAIT AT THAT SECOND SIGNAL, YOU KNOW, A SIGNAL CYCLE OR TWO, AND YOU FINALLY GET A GREEN AND YOU PROCEED AND ALL OF SUDDEN THERE'S A THIRD SIGNAL AND IT'S ALSO RED. SO THE PROGRESSION OF AND COORDINATING OF SIGNALS ALONG A CORRIDOR IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT IN ORDER TO GET TRAFFIC MOVING AND TO GET CONTINUITY OF OPERATIONS AND TO MOVE THE TRAFFIC AND AVOID CONGESTION IN THOSE TYPE OF SITUATIONS. CURRENTLY, NONE OF THE SIGNALS ON THAT SEGMENT OF BELTLINE ARE COORDINATED.

AND AS I MENTIONED, QUITE A BIT OF THE SIGNAL EQUIPMENT THAT'S PRESENTLY IN PLACE AT TOWNEES BOULEVARD AND CREEKSIDE IS OBSOLETE BY TODAY'S STANDARDS, WAS INSTALLED QUITE SOME TIME AGO. WHAT WE'VE THE CITY MANAGER LOOKED AT THAT, AND STAFF WAS VERY CONCERNED AS WELL THAT WHEN THE NEW DEVELOPMENT OPENS UP, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE GRIDLOCK IN THAT SECTION OF BELTLINE ROAD.

SO WE STARTED CASTING ABOUT FOR SOLUTIONS TO THAT PROBLEM.

AND SO WHAT WE BY THE WAY, THE GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT, THEY'RE BUILDING THE SIGNAL THAT SERVES THAT DEVELOPMENT IN BETWEEN CREEKSIDE AND TOWNE EAST AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE. WE HAVE REVIEWED PLANS, STAFF HAS REVIEWED PLANS, WE'VE RELEASED IT FOR CONSTRUCTION.

BUT WE HAVE ENSURED IN THE REVIEW OF THOSE PLANS THAT THE SIGNAL EQUIPMENT THAT THEY ARE INSTALLING IS GOING TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH ANY MESQUITE SYSTEM THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO COORDINATE WITH THEM. SO WE'RE TRYING TO BASICALLY STANDARDIZE OUR SIGNAL EQUIPMENT HERE ON THE BELTLINE CORRIDOR IN SUNNYVALE. SO ALL OUR SIGNALS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH ONE ANOTHER AND ALSO COMPATIBLE WITH THE LARGER CITY OF MESQUITE SYSTEM.

WHAT WE'RE ALSO DOING. SO THE CURRENT CONSULTING CONTRACT BEFORE YOU ACHIEVES SEVERAL THINGS.

ONE IT'S GOING TO ACCOMMODATE THAT ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC THAT'S GOING TO BE GENERATED BY THE NEW GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT.

IT'S GOING TO UPGRADE ALL THE EXISTING SIGNAL EQUIPMENT THAT'S AT TOWN EAST BOULEVARD AND CREEKSIDE BOULEVARD, AS I MENTIONED TO THAT NEWER STANDARD. SO IT'S COMPATIBLE WITH EACH OTHER AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE MESQUITE SYSTEM.

IT'S ALSO GOING TO INSTALL AN OPTIC FIBER CONDUIT AND CABLE FROM TRIPP ROAD ALL THE WAY UP TO TOWN EAST BOULEVARD, AND THAT'S NECESSARY BECAUSE THESE SIGNALS ARE COORDINATED WITH ONE ANOTHER THROUGH COMMUNICATION LINES THAT ARE CURRENTLY BEING RUN BY OPTIC FIBER, AND THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO TAP INTO THE MESQUITE OPTIC FIBER SYSTEM, WHICH IS PRIVATELY OWNED AND MAINTAINED BY THE CITY OF MESQUITE THROUGH A PRIVATE CONTRACTOR. OPTIC FIBER IS KIND OF NECESSARY BECAUSE OF THE LARGE BANDWIDTH NECESSARY TO MOVE VIDEO COMMUNICATION. THE CURRENT TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYSTEMS USE WHAT THEY CALL VIDEO DETECTION.

IT'S BASICALLY A CAMERA THAT MONITORS EACH OF THE LEGS OF THE INTERSECTION AND THROUGH SOME SOPHISTICATED, SOPHISTICATED COMPUTER MODELING AND SO FORTH, IT CAN DETECT WHEN VEHICLES ARRIVE AT A CERTAIN LOCATION IN THE INTERSECTION,

[01:00:01]

BECAUSE ALSO THAT OPTIC FIBER AND THAT COMMUNICATION, THOSE THOSE CAMERAS ALSO ARE RELAYED TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

SO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT CAN ALSO USE THAT VIDEO DETECTION VIDEO IMAGE FOR CRIME CONTROL AS WELL.

AND WHEN I WAS WITH THE CITY OF MESQUITE THAT WAS A BIG BREAKTHROUGH IN OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT.

USED THAT VIDEO DETECTION INFORMATION TO SOLVE MANY CRIMES BECAUSE THEY COULD GET IMAGES OF VEHICLES THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO TRACK AND COULD TRACK THEM THROUGH THE ENTIRE CITY AND FOLLOW THEM IN AND OUT OF THE CITY. AND IT ENABLED THEM TO SOLVE MANY CRIMES THAT THEY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OTHERWISE.

SO IT GIVES US THAT CAPABILITY AS WELL. IT WILL ALSO BRING UP SIGNAL PEDESTRIAN ELEMENTS.

AS YOU'RE ALL AWARE, THE AMERICAN WITH DISABILITIES ACT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

THAT AFFECTS SIGNAL DESIGN. THEY'VE JUST PASSED NEW REGULATIONS REGARDING THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT.

IT'S CALLED PRO WAG FOR SURE, BUT IT STANDS FOR PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY ACCESSIBILITY GUIDELINES.

AND IT AFFECTS NOT ONLY THE THE PRIVATE ELEMENTS THAT AFFECT THAT HAVE BEEN IN PLACE WITH ADA FOR MANY YEARS, BUT EXTENDS A LOT OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS IN A MORE EXTENSIVE FASHION TO PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAYS.

THOSE BECAME LAW IN 2023. WHEN WE LOOK AT THESE INTERSECTIONS, WE WILL BRING EACH OF THESE INTERSECTIONS, THE SIGNAL EQUIPMENT, BUT ALSO THE SIDEWALKS THE HANDICAPPED RAMPS AND OTHER ELEMENTS IN THE ROADWAY AND SIDEWALKS AND TRAILS LEADING UP TO THOSE AREAS, BRINGING THEM IN TO COMPLIANCE WITH ADA AS WELL.

WE WILL ALSO ADD UNINTERRUPTED POWER SUPPLIES TO EACH OF THE SUBJECT INTERSECTIONS TO ALLOW THEM FOR APPROXIMATELY FOUR HOURS IF THERE'S A POWER INTERRUPTION TO KEEP TRAFFIC MOVING. IT WON'T COVER A LONG TERM POWER OUTAGE, BUT WILL ALLOW US TO COVER SHORT INTERMITTENCIES IN OUR POWER SUPPLY TO THOSE INTERSECTIONS. IT'S ALSO GOING TO MODIFY SOME LEFT TURN BASED STORAGE ON SOME OF THE INTERSECTIONS, AND ALSO BUILD UP THAT RIGHT TURN BAY, WHICH IS GOING TO BE RIGHT NEXT TO THE NEW C STORE AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF TOWN EAST BOULEVARD AND BELTLINE. AND IT WILL GIVE US LIKE I MENTIONED, ADDITIONAL STORAGE AND SOME OF THE BAYS OUT THERE.

SO IT'S A VERY EXTENSIVE CONTRACT DESIGN CONTRACT.

IT WOULD RESULT IN THREE DIFFERENT BID ITEMS OR BID CONTRACTS, ONE FOR THE SIGNAL WORK AND UPGRADING ALL THE SIGNAL.

ALSO, A SEPARATE CONTRACT TO INSTALL THE OPTIC FIBER LINE FROM TOWNEES BOULEVARD DOWN TO TRIPOLI AND CONNECTED INTO THE MESQUITE SYSTEM SO WE COULD OPERATE ALL THREE OF THOSE SIGNALS AS PART OF THE MESQUITE COORDINATED SYSTEM.

AND IT WOULD ALSO HAVE A SEPARATE PAVING CONTRACT THAT WOULD MODIFY THE PAVEMENT FOR THE LEFT TURN LANE, THE RIGHT TURN BAY, AND ALSO TO ADD LOOK AT ALL THE WHEELCHAIR RAMPS AND SERVING THE PEDESTRIANS AT ALL FOUR CORNERS OF EACH OF THOSE INTERSECTIONS. SO IT RESULTS IN THREE BID CONTRACTS.

A LOT OF WORK. WE ARE ALL ALSO INTEGRATING AND WORKING WITH THE CITY OF MESQUITE.

THEY'VE INDICATED A WILLINGNESS TO ACCEPT MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITY FOR NOT JUST THE TOWN EAST BELTLINE INTERSECTION, BUT FOR THE NEW SIGNAL THAT'S GOING TO BE BUILT WITH GATEWAY AS WELL AS THE CREEKSIDE INTERSECTION.

AND THROUGH THIS MODIFIED INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR LEGAL CONSULTANT, AS WELL AS THE TOWN OR CITY OF MESQUITE WE HOPE TO BRING THAT TO YOU WITHIN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS FOR CONSIDERATION AS WELL.

AND HOPEFULLY PASSAGE BY THIS COUNCIL AND THE CITY COUNCIL OF MESQUITE.

SO A LOT GOING ON IN THIS CONTRACT, A LOT HAPPENING TO MAKE OUR TRAFFIC FLOW BETTER AND TO MAKE SURE THAT THE GATEWAY PROJECT IS SUCCESSFUL PROJECT AND THAT CONGESTION DOESN'T RESULT FROM THAT PROJECT.

ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. COUNCIL. ANY QUESTIONS FOR MATT? OKAY. THANK YOU, MATT, FOR THAT DETAILED EXPLANATION.

ANSWERED ALL OF OUR QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. I WILL OPEN THIS ITEM UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS.

IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO COME AND SPEAK AS IT RELATES TO THIS ITEM, PLEASE COME FORWARD NOW.

SEEING NONE, WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION.

PUBLIC HEARING. COUNCIL. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION?

[01:05:04]

ELDRIDGE. ELDRIDGE AND COUNCIL MEMBER. DANNY.

I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY QUESTIONS? ALL IN FAVOR SIGNIFY ALL.

OPPOSED? NONE. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THE MEMBERS PRESENT.

OKAY. MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER TWO. DISCUSS AN ACT.

DISCUSS, CONSIDER, AND ACT UPON. COULD YOU BRING THAT UP, PLEASE? PROVIDING FEEDBACK TO STAFF RELATED TO STREET MEDIUM LIGHTING ON ARTERIAL STREETS.

AND THIS IS GOING TO BE A KIND OF A SHORT COURSE ON STREET LIGHTING AND HOW WE HANDLE THAT.

WE ARE THE THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THIS IS STAFF WOULD LIKE TOWN COUNCIL DIRECTION ON THE TYPE OF STREET MEDIAN LIGHTING TO BE UTILIZED ON CLAY ROAD, WHICH WE'RE DOING A PROJECT TO REHABILITATE THAT PAVEMENT AS WELL AS ON SOUTH COLLINS ROAD AND EVENTUALLY ON THE PHASE TWO COLLINS PROJECT NORTH OF TRIP ROAD ALL THE WAY UP TO TOWN EAST BOULEVARD.

KIND OF A BACKGROUND. THE TOWN HAS A VARIETY OF MEDIAN LIGHTING THAT HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED ON TOWN ARTERIAL THOROUGHFARES.

MOST CITIES HANDLE MEDIAN LIGHTING THROUGH CONTRACTS WITH THEIR LOCAL ELECTRIC PROVIDERS, SUCH AS ENCORE ELECTRIC.

AND THAT MEANS THAT ENCORE ELECTRIC OWNS AND MAINTAINS THE THE MEDIAN LIGHTING.

THIS ENCORE SERVICE IS PAID FOR ON A MONTHLY BASIS PER STREETLIGHT IN THE SYSTEM.

ENCORE MONTHLY STREETLIGHT FEE IS BASED ON THE TYPE OF POLE, THE TYPE OF LUMINAIRE, AND THE BULB TYPE OF THAT STREETLIGHT.

AND IT'S BASICALLY SET BY A STATE, THE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.

THERE'S IF YOU THERE'S ACTUALLY A TABLE IN YOUR PACKET THAT IS FROM THE PUC TARIFF FOR THE CITY OF, OR FOR THE ENTIRE STATE OF TEXAS FOR ENCORE.

BUT IT BASICALLY BREAKS IT DOWN ON IF IT'S A SIMPLE TYPE OF POLL AND NOT VERY COSTLY LUMINAIRE.

IT IT'S A FAIRLY LOW FEE OF AROUND 10 TO $11 PER MONTH PER LUMINAIRE.

IF YOU GET INTO MORE EXOTIC LIGHTING TYPES OR NICER POLE TYPES HISTORICAL POLES AND SO FORTH, THAT FEE STARTS CLIMBING AND IT CAN BE ALMOST OVER DOUBLE THAT FOR NICER POLE TYPES THAT ARE OUT THERE.

TYPICALLY NOW THERE ARE LIMITATIONS WITH ENCORE POLES.

THEY HAVE A VERY SELECT GROUP OF POLE TYPES AND LUMINAIRE TYPES THAT THEY'LL ALLOW AND MAINTAIN.

NUMBER ONE QUITE OFTEN A CITY OR TOWN WOULD LIKE TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL IN CERTAIN CORRIDORS WITHIN THEIR CITY, AND THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT ENCORE IS GOING TO MAINTAIN.

FOR INSTANCE, THE LIGHTING THAT WE INSTALLED IN FRONT OF THIS SECTION OF COLLINS ROAD, IN FRONT OF TOWN HALL FROM US 80 UP TO TRIPP ROAD.

IT'S A MORE ELABORATE, A NICER POLE, A TALLER POLE OF A HISTORICAL TYPE THAN ENCORE SUPPLIES AND MAINTAINS IN THEIR SYSTEM.

ENCORE DOES ALSO DOES NOT ALLOW ANY ATTACHMENTS TO THEIR POLE.

SO THE BANNERS WE PUT ON THE POLES IN FRONT OF TOWN HALL.

THAT'S NOT SOMETHING ENCORE ALLOWS ON THEIR ON STREET LIGHTING THAT THEY MAINTAIN.

IN ADDITION, WE KIND OF LIKE TO PUT CHRISTMAS LIGHTS AND THINGS ON OUR POLES OUT THERE, OR HAVE THE OPTION TO PUT AN OUTLET AT THE BASE OF EACH OF THESE TREE OR POWER POLES AND TO TO SERVE FOR LIGHTING AND SEASONAL DECORATION AND SO, SO FORTH.

SINCE ENCORE DOES NOT METER ANY OF THEIR STREET LIGHTS, IT'S BASICALLY YOU PAY THAT MONTHLY FEE.

AND SO THERE'S NO ELECTRIC METER OUT THERE. THEY DON'T ALLOW ANY ADDITIONAL LOADS ON THOSE CIRCUITS OTHER THAN THEIR SPECIFIC STREET LIGHTS.

THEY ALSO WON'T MAINTAIN STREET LIGHTS IN HIGH HAZARD LOCATIONS, SO THERE'S A LOT OF LIMITATIONS FOR ENCORE STREET LIGHTS.

AND BECAUSE OF THAT, THERE ARE SITUATIONS THAT THE THE TOWN WOULD LIKE TO PUT IN OUR OWN STREET LIGHTS, LIKE WHAT WE HAVE IN FRONT OF TOWN HALL HERE ON COLLINS ROAD, AND MAKE IT MORE ELABORATE, NICER, ALLOW US TO PUT IN BANNERS AND ALSO HAVE ELECTRICAL OUTLETS ON THOSE THINGS.

OUR CURRENTLY OUR UDO SPECIFIES VERY SPECIFICALLY CERTAIN TYPES OF STREET LIGHTS TO BE USED ON A LOT OF OUR THOROUGHFARES.

IT REQUIRES AND THIS IS A QUOTE RIGHT OUT OF THE UDO ENCORE APPROVED HANOVER EUREKA STYLE STYLE STREET LIGHT FIXTURE IN A BRONZE OR BLACK COLOR, AND WITH A LIGHT POLE IN THE MEDIAN OF APPROXIMATELY 30 FOOT IN HEIGHT.

[01:10:03]

AND IF YOU GO TO THEIR HISTORIC CATALOG, AND I HAVE PUT A COPY OF THE ENCORE SELECTION OF WHAT THEY ALLOW AND WILL MAINTAIN IN YOUR COUNCIL PACKET, NONE OF THE HISTORIC STREETLIGHTS, THE MORE DECORATIVE TYPE OF STREET LIGHTS, ARE ANYTHING OVER 18 FOOT TALL.

SO GETTING A TALLER STREET LIGHT SO YOU CAN SPACE THEM OUT A LITTLE BIT FURTHER AND GET HIGHER ILLUMINATION VALUES IS NOT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE SUPPLIED BY ENCORE.

SO WE CANNOT MEET THE TERMS OF OUR UDO BECAUSE ENCORE DOESN'T EVEN ALLOW OR PROVIDE THAT TYPE OF LIGHTING SERVICE.

THEY ALSO, IN THE UDO PRO, SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITS THE COBRA HEAD LIGHT, WHICH IS USED ALL OVER TOWN.

IF YOU LOOK AROUND THE TOWN OF SUNNYVALE, IT'S PROBABLY THE MOST COMMON STREETLIGHT THAT YOU'LL FIND IN TOWN, AS WELL AS THE SURROUNDING TOWNS. SO WHAT WE WHAT THE STAFF IS RECOMMENDING, BECAUSE WE WOULD LIKE TO MAINTAIN THE BRANDING THAT WE HAVE IN FRONT OF CITY HALL. PLUS, IT ALLOWS US TO PUT THOSE DECORATIVE BANNERS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE ON THESE POLES.

WE RECOMMEND THAT THE LIGHTING ON COLLINS ROAD.

THIS IS THE LIGHTING STANDARD THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN FRONT OF TOWN HALL ON COLLINS.

WE'D LIKE TO EXTEND THE USE OF THAT STANDARD SOUTH OF US 80 ON COLLINS ROAD, AS WELL AS ALONG CLAY ROAD ALONG THE RESIDENTIAL SECTION ONLY, WHICH IS BASICALLY FROM COLLINS ROAD.

EXCUSE ME, ON CLAY ROAD FROM COLLINS TO THE ENCORE.

RIGHT OF WAY SOUTH OF THE ENCORE, RIGHT OF WAY ON CLAY ROAD CURRENTLY HAS THE COBRA HEADLIGHTS, WHICH ARE SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITED BY THE UDO.

WE'D LIKE TO LEAVE THAT IN PLACE BECAUSE THAT AREA IS IS NOT OF GREAT ESTHETIC VALUE ANYWAY.

THAT AREA IS IT'S IT'S PRETTY. IT'S VERY INDUSTRIAL.

DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS IT GETS VERY, VERY DUSTY DOWN THERE.

AND SO WE'D LIKE TO LEAVE THOSE COBRA HEADLIGHTS IN PLACE AND JUST USE THESE MORE DECORATIVE LIGHTING FROM THE ENCORE RIGHT OF WAY NORTH UP TO THE INTERSECTION OF CLAY AND COLLINS ROAD.

WE'D ALSO LIKE THE AUTHORITY TO CONTINUE THESE LIGHTS NORTH OF TRIPP ROAD ON TOWN EAST BOULEVARD, AS THAT GETS DEVELOPED OUT ALL THE WAY UP TO TOWN EAST BOULEVARD ON THE SECOND PHASE.

SO WE'D LIKE BASICALLY COUNCIL DIRECTION ON HOW YOU WANT TO HANDLE THE STREET LIGHTS ON SOUTH COLLINS CLAY ROAD.

THE SECOND PHASE OF COLLINS ROAD. AND IF IF THEY'RE DIFFERENT THAN THE CURRENT UDO.

IF YOU WANT TO INSTRUCT STAFF TO MAKE CHANGES TO THE UDO.

THANK YOU. MATT. QUESTIONS? COUNCIL QUESTIONS FOR MATT.

MAYOR. DANNY. ACTUALLY, THIS IS NOT A QUESTION.

I'M ASKING IF THIS IS POSSIBLE. I MEAN, YEAH, IT'S KIND OF A QUESTION.

SOLAR POWERED. INSTEAD OF USING THE ONCOR IN THE FUTURE OR MAKING MORE STREET LIGHT WITH ELECTRIC STREET LIGHT, CAN WE MOVE TO MORE ADVANCED, WHICH IS A LOT OF TOWNS ARE USING, WHICH I SAW IN PERSON AT HTML CONFERENCE TO A LOT OF SOLAR POWERED, MULTIPLE COMPANIES ARE OUT THERE. CAN WE LOOK INTO THAT? SOLAR POWER IS ALWAYS AN OPTION, BUT SOLAR POWER DOES HAVE LIMITATIONS AS WELL.

OBVIOUSLY, SOLAR BASICALLY TAKES DAYLIGHT DURING THE THE POWER FROM DAYLIGHT STORES IT IN BATTERIES IN THE SYSTEM IN, IN THE POLE ITSELF. AND THEN WHEN YOU NEED IT AT NIGHT, IT IT PUTS THAT POWER OUT FOR LIGHTING.

TYPICALLY YOUR YOUR THE AMOUNT OF ILLUMINATION YOU GET OUT OF THOSE SOLAR LIGHTS IS MUCH LESS THAN A ONE THAT RUNS DIRECTLY OFF THE GRID.

YOU ALSO RUN INTO PROBLEMS IF YOU HAVE EXTENDED PERIODS OF OF NO SUN DURING THE WINTER TIMES.

THERE'S, YOU KNOW, THERE MIGHT BE A WEEK OR MORE OF LITTLE SUN DURING THE DAY OVERCAST CONDITIONS, THOSE LIGHTS GET DIMMER AND DIMMER AND FINALLY GO OUT.

SO THEY DO HAVE THEIR LIMITATIONS. FOR A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE LIKE THIS, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM.

I THINK THEY'RE GREAT FOR ILLUMINATION, WHERE YOU DON'T NEED HIGHER ILLUMINATION VALUES, SUCH AS ALONG TRAILS, FOR INSTANCE TRAILHEADS AND OTHER RESIDENTIAL TYPE STREETS WHERE IT'S NOT AS CRITICAL TO HAVE HIGH ILLUMINATION VALUES FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY PURPOSES. THEY DO HAVE THEIR PLACE. I, I HONESTLY DON'T BELIEVE ON MAJOR THOROUGHFARES.

IT'S A GOOD APPLICATION OF THAT TECHNOLOGY. MAYBE SOMEDAY WHEN THEY GET BETTER BATTERIES.

[01:15:06]

BUT FOR CERTAIN TIMES OF THE YEAR, IT THE LIGHTS WOULD JUST GO OFF.

THE LIGHTS THAT I SAW IN PERSON, THEY WERE PRETTY CONVINCING.

THEY DIDN'T SAY THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM. I FORGOT THE DETAILS, BUT CAN WE ACTUALLY ASK SOMEONE TO.

WE CAN CERTAINLY LOOK AT THAT. OKAY. THANK YOU.

COUNCIL. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MATT? YOU GO TO YOUR MATH.

ANY DIRECTION? YEAH. SO I GUESS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS, IS DIRECTION ON? WE DO WE WANT TO CONSIDER MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS STANDARD THAT WE'VE STARTED AND CONTINUING.

THAT WAS YOUR QUESTION, RIGHT? CORRECT. SO COUNCIL, ANY ANY COMMENTS ON CONTINUING THE STANDARD THAT WE STARTED ON COLLINS.

CONTINUE. AND THE CONTINUATION ON DOWN COLLINS THROUGH OUR, I GUESS OUR CITY LIMITS.

ASSUMING WE GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT AND STAFF FEELS THAT GIVES US A BRAND SO THAT WHEN PEOPLE EXIT THE FREEWAY AND DRIVE EITHER NORTH OR SOUTH ON COLLINS, THEY REALIZE THEY'RE THEY'RE IN THE TOWN OF SUNNYVALE.

SIMILAR. A LOT OF THE TRAFFIC COMING TO COLLINS ROAD TRAVELS DOWN CLAY ROAD.

CLAY ROAD CURRENTLY HAS ABOUT 18,000 VEHICLES PER DAY ON IT.

AND AGAIN, WE WANT TO SIGNIFY THAT THEY'RE ENTERING THE TOWN OF SUNNYVALE.

THE BIG QUESTION ALSO IS ON THAT SOUTH SECTION OF CLAY ROAD, SOUTH OF THE LARGE ENCORE RIGHT OF WAY.

DO WE WANT TO CONTINUE WITH THE COBRA HEADS THAT ARE CURRENTLY OUT THERE, OR DO WE WANT TO CARRY THIS THE STANDARD ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE RAILROAD.

CAN WE GO BACK TO THAT MAP WHERE IT TALKS? THE DELINEATION OF THE ENCORE? NOW THAT MAP, IF YOU LOOK ON YOUR RIGHT HAND SIDE, AS YOU LOOK AT THE MAP THAT'S KIND OF NORTH, YOU CAN SEE US 80 THERE AND THERE'S THAT BASICALLY FROM COLLINS ROAD DOWN TO THAT EAST WEST CORRIDOR THAT HAS THE BIG HIGH VOLTAGE ENCORE TRANSMISSION MAIN THAT GOES EAST WEST.

THAT'S KIND OF WHERE THE RETAIL AND THE RESIDENTIAL USES ARE PREDOMINANT.

AND WE'D LIKE TO HAVE A NICER ILLUMINATION, CERTAINLY NEXT TO THE RESIDENTIAL AND CERTAINLY NEXT TO THE THE RETAIL AREA IN THE NORTH END OF CLAY ROAD. I THINK FOR ME, JUST LOOKING AT THIS MAP, I WOULD CONTINUE THE LIGHTS THROUGH TO LONG CREEK AND MAKE THE INTERSECTION TO THE THE DELINEATION POINT. UNLESS THERE'S SOME REASON WHY WE WOULDN'T DO THAT. IT SEEMS WEIRD TO ME THAT YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN A ROAD AND YOU HAVE TWO OF THESE UGLY LIGHTS AND THEN BOOM, YOU GET INTO. I MEAN, IT'S ALL SUNNYVALE, RIGHT? THAT MAKES SENSE, SIR. AND SO THAT'S THE SUGGESTION I WOULD MAKE IS TO CONTINUE THE INTERSECTION.

OTHERWISE, I THINK WE SHOULD CONTINUE WITH THE STANDARD.

COUNCIL. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? I AGREE. ONE THING I THINK LESSON LEARNED FROM FORBY.

WE DIDN'T REALLY STIPULATE THE SIZE OF THE BANNERS IN FORBY ORDERED THESE DEALS YEARS AND YEARS AGO.

SHOULD WE STICK WITH THE SAME SIZE OR GO LARGER? WE CAN GO LARGER. THE REASON THAT ENCORE DOES NOT ALLOW THEM IS THE WIND LOADING ON THE SIGNS.

THE BANNERS DO ADD ADDITIONAL LOAD. IT'S A RARE OCCURRENCE, BUT YOU KNOW, THE BANNERS ARE USUALLY UP IN THE WINTER.

IN THE WINTER IS WHEN WE HAVE OUR HIGHER WINDS AND IT CAN OVERSTRESS THE POLES.

AND THAT'S THEIR LOGIC AND RATIONALE. SO WE CAN CERTAINLY LOOK AT WHAT'S WHAT'S THE BIGGEST SIZE OF BANNER THAT THAT CURRENT STANDARD WILL ACCOMMODATE. WE COULD AND WE COULD PUSH THE LIMIT IF POSSIBLE.

AND I'LL ADD TO THAT COUNCIL MEMBER ELDRIDGE, THAT I BELIEVE THE BANNERS YOU SEE OUT THERE TODAY ARE PROBABLY ABOUT 35% LARGER THAN THE ORIGINAL BANNERS. SO WE RETROACTIVELY FITTED THOSE POLLS WITH WIDER, LONGER ARMS SO THAT WE COULD GET LARGER BANNERS ON THERE.

BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE LARGEST THAT FROM AN ENGINEERING STANDPOINT THAT WE COULD HANDLE ON THOSE POLLS.

BUT WE HAVE WE HAVE LEARNED OUR LESSON THAT THE FIRST THE ORIGINAL SPEC EQUIPMENT THAT CAME WITH THOSE POLLS WERE TOO SMALL.

SO WE RETROACTIVELY, RETROACTIVELY FITTED THOSE OR UPGRADED THOSE WITH, WITH BIGGER SUPPORT AREAS.

SO BUT WE'LL DEFINITELY LOOK INTO THAT TO SEE WHAT WILL MAXIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF BANNER SPACE WE CAN GET.

ABSOLUTELY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN WOODROW.

YES I CONCUR. I KNOW THAT WE ARE TRYING TO CREATE THE WOW FACTOR.

YES, SIR. AND I THINK THIS WOULD JUST COMPLEMENT WHAT WE'RE ALREADY DOING, SO I LIKE IT.

THANK YOU. SIR. ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL, ANY OTHER COMMENTS? DO YOU HAVE WHAT YOU NEED FROM US? I THINK SO, YES, SIR.

[01:20:01]

IT'S NOT. I DON'T HAVE ANY PUBLIC HEARING DISCUSSION ONLY.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. YOU HAVE DIRECTION. OKAY.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT ITEM. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER THREE. DISCUSS, CONSIDER AND ACT UPON RESOLUTION 2020 501.

ALL RIGHT, MARK. ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR PRO TEM AND COUNCIL.

TONIGHT WE'RE ASKING YOU TO ESSENTIALLY SET A PUBLIC HEARING FOR FEBRUARY 10TH TO ESSENTIALLY OBTAIN INPUT FROM THE PUBLIC REGARDING PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE TOWN'S ROADWAY IMPACT FEES.

THE TOWN OF SUNNYVALE FOR FOR MANY YEARS HAS HAS BEEN CHARGING IMPACT FEES TO DEVELOPERS FOR WATER, SEWER AS WELL AS ROADWAY INFRASTRUCTURE TO HELP SERVE NEW DEVELOPMENT.

CHAPTER 395 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE ESSENTIALLY DICTATES THE PROCESS MUNICIPALITIES MUST FOLLOW ANYTIME IT COMES TO ADOPTING OR REVISING THE IMPACT FEES THAT MUNICIPALITIES CHARGE AND MUNICIPALITIES ARE ARE REQUIRED TO REVISIT THEIR IMPACT FEES AT LEAST EVERY FIVE YEARS. THEY CAN THEY CAN REVISIT IT SOONER THAN FIVE YEARS.

BUT WE ARE WE ARE CURRENTLY APPROACHING THE FIVE YEAR MARK, AS THE CURRENT IMPACT FEE POLICY WAS ADOPTED IN NOVEMBER OF 2020.

SO IN ORDER TO REASSESS OUR ROADWAY IMPACT FEES, THE TOWN HIRED KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES LAST YEAR TO TO BASICALLY UNDERTAKE THIS PROCESS FOR US. AND THE TOWN ALSO DESIGNATED THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AS THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR IMPACT FEES. AND ESSENTIALLY, WE'RE WE'RE NEARING THE POINT WHERE WE'RE READY TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE TOWN COUNCIL FOR CHANGES TO, AT THIS POINT, JUST THE ROADWAY IMPACT FEES. LATER ON THIS, THIS CALENDAR YEAR, WE'LL WE'LL COME FORWARD WITH RECOMMENDATIONS ON, ON CHANGES TO BOTH WATER AND SEWER IMPACT FEES.

AND SO AS PART OF THIS PROCESS, THE STATE REQUIRES THAT WE HOLD TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS.

AND AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THE FIRST READING IS PROPOSED FOR FEBRUARY 10TH, AND THEN THE SECOND READING WOULD BE FEBRUARY 24TH.

THE STATE STATE LAW ALSO REQUIRES THAT WE ADVERTISE THIS PUBLIC HEARING AT LEAST 30 DAYS IN ADVANCE IN OUR NEWSPAPER OF RECORD, WHICH OF COURSE IS THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS. AND SO WITH THAT, STAFF ASKS FOR FOR YOUR APPROVAL TO MOVE FORWARD WITH SCHEDULING THE FIRST READING ON FEBRUARY 10TH FOR CONSIDERATION OF UPDATES TO THE ROADWAY IMPACT FEE POLICY.

THANK YOU. MARK. COUNCIL. ANY QUESTIONS? I'M ASSUMING SINCE WE'RE VOTING ON THIS, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING ITEM.

PUBLIC COMMENTS. ALL RIGHT. PUBLIC COMMENTS. ALL RIGHT.

I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC COMMENTS. I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENTS.

NO ONE COMING FORWARD BECAUSE NO ONE. SOMEBODY.

OKAY. OKAY. CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENTS. ALL RIGHT.

COUNCIL, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? HAVE A MOTION. MOTION APPROVED.

SECOND. ELDRIDGE. AND I'M SORRY. DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? NO, I HAVE A MOTION BY ELDRIDGE. SECOND BY MANNY.

ALL IN FAVOR SIGNIFY. OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES.

UNANIMOUS WITH MEMBERS PRESENT. OKAY, MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER FOUR.

DISCUSS AND CONSIDER AND ACT UPON PROVIDING DIRECTION TO STAFF RELATED TO THE TOWN WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM.

MASTER PLAN UPDATE REGARDING OPTIONS FOR PUMP STATION AND GROUND STORAGE, TANK IMPROVEMENTS AND WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM RESILIENCY AND REDUNDANCY.

THAT'S A MOUTHFUL. THANK YOU. COUNCIL. TONIGHT THIS SUBJECT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED BRIEFLY WITH COUNCIL ON DECEMBER 9TH AND WORK SESSION, BUT THIS IS A OUR CONSULTANT, GARVER AND ASSOCIATES.

AND WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THEM, COREY WILKINSON, WITH US TODAY WHO'S BEEN LEADING THE DESIGN TEAM FOR THE TOWN'S UPDATED WATER MASTER PLAN.

AND WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS PRESENT THREE OPTIONS FOR PUMP STATION IMPROVEMENTS AND GROUND STORAGE TANK IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE TOWN OF SUNNYVALE WITH THE VARIOUS COSTS, SCHEDULE, AND PROS AND CONS OF EACH OF THOSE OPTIONS.

STAFF RECOMMENDS OPTION ONE, AND PRIMARILY FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS.

THAT IT PROVIDES THE SHORTEST TIMELINE FOR IMPROVEMENTS OF THE TOWN'S PUMPING AND STORAGE CAPACITY, AND ULTIMATELY WITH THE WITH THE SECOND PUMP STATION THAT THAT OPTION RECOMMENDS IS PROVIDES A GREAT AMOUNT OF SYSTEM

[01:25:07]

OUR TOWN DISTRIBUTION MASTER PLAN LAST TIME IT WAS UPDATED WAS 2017 BY FREESE AND NICHOLS.

WE FAR EXCEEDED OUR POPULATION GROWTH PROJECTIONS AS WELL AS PUMPING CAPACITY PROJECTIONS SINCE THAT THAT MASTER PLAN WAS DONE BACK IN 2017. AND I WANT TO PRESENT TO YOU, COREY WHO IS GOING TO KIND OF WALK YOU THROUGH THE POWERPOINT AND PRESENT THE, THE VARIOUS OPTIONS.

AND WE ARE SEEKING COUNCIL CONCURRENCE ON ONE OF THOSE OPTIONS AND APPROVAL OF ONE OF THOSE OPTIONS SO WE CAN COMPLETE THE TOWN MASTER PLAN.

THE VARIOUS OPTIONS DRAMATICALLY AFFECT PIPE SIZES AND OUR CIP FOR THE WATER MASTER PLAN.

SO WE DO NEED A DEFINITIVE OPTION SELECTED BY COUNCIL SO WE CAN COMPLETE THE MASTER PLAN.

GO AHEAD. COREY. THANK YOU. COUNCIL. SO AS MATT MENTIONED, I KNOW HE'S TALKED TO YOU ALL A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS UP TO THIS POINT.

SOME OF THESE SLIDES, YOU'LL YOU'LL SEE THEY'LL BE VERY FAMILIAR. SO I'M NOT GOING TO BORE YOU TOO MUCH WITH REHASHING EVERYTHING, BUT LIKE, LIKE YOU SAID, THE BIG THING HERE TODAY IS WE JUST NEED TO KNOW HOW YOU'D LIKE FOR US TO PROCEED.

IT'S GOING TO DRIVE A LOT OF THE CONVERSATIONS WHEN WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER THE CIP FOR THE WATER FOR THE REST OF THE TOWN, AND AS HE MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, THE TOWN IS LOOKING TO TELL RACHEL.

OKAY. YOU WANT TO PROGRESS? YEAH. THE TOWN TOWN IS LOOKING TO ADDRESS THEIR WATER NEEDS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

AS AS I'M SURE YOU ALL HAVE HEARD FROM MATT IN THE PAST.

THESE ARE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN COMING UP INTO PROMINENCE HERE THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. SO YOU WANT TO MOVE FORWARD.

SO FIRST WE'RE GOING TO JUST START OFF WITH THE RECOMMENDATION, LIKE MATT MENTIONED, THE NEXT ONE WE HAVE THREE DIFFERENT THREE DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVES.

ONE IS WHERE WE MAKE IMPROVEMENTS AT THE RIVERSTONE PUMP STATION SITE TO FIRST AND THEN MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR PROPOSED DELIVERY POINT.

AND WE'LL SAY NUMBER THREE ON THERE. BUT IN IN TECHNICALITY, IT'S THE SECOND DELIVERY POINT UP BY THE ELEVATED STORAGE TANK OFF OF TOWNEES BOULEVARD.

SO WE WOULD BE DOING THE IMPROVEMENTS FIRST, THE RIVERSTONE PUMP STATION TO ADDRESS THOSE IMMEDIATE NEEDS THAT, THAT THE WATER SYSTEM NEEDS. AND THEN THE SECONDARY PART OF THAT WITH THAT SECOND DELIVERY POINT WOULD BE TO ADDRESS THAT REDUNDANCY AND RESILIENCY, AS MATT MENTIONED. THE SECOND ALTERNATIVE IS TO KEEP EVERYTHING AT THE RIVERSTONE PUMP STATION SITE.

ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF THAT IS THE CHEAPEST ALTERNATIVE, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T REQUIRE ANY ADDITIONAL LAND TO BE ACQUIRED.

IT KEEPS EVERYTHING IN ONE SPOT. BUT THE BIGGEST NEGATIVE THERE BEING IT DOES NOT PROVIDE THAT REDUNDANCY THAT THAT YOUR SYSTEM NEEDS.

AND THEN THE THIRD ALTERNATIVE IS VIRTUALLY THE SAME AS ALTERNATIVE ONE.

IT JUST FLIPS THE DELIVERY OF THOSE TWO PROJECTS.

IT GIVES YOU THE REDUNDANCY UPFRONT BUT IS A LONGER LEAD TIME TO GET THERE TO ADDRESS THOSE IMMEDIATE NEEDS FOR THE TOWN OF SUNNYVALE, AND THEN GIVES YOU THE RIVERSTONE PUMP STATION IMPROVEMENTS ON THE BACK END.

AND THEN NEXT, JUST LOOKING AT SOME OF THE PROJECTED THE POPULATION PROJECTIONS FOR THE TOWN THIS HAS BEEN COORDINATED BETWEEN GARVER AND TOWN STAFF.

JUST LOOKING AT THOSE MULTIPLE HORIZONS OF 25, 20, 30, 35, 40 AND 45, TRYING TO GET TO THAT POINT WHERE THE POPULATION STARTS TO PLATEAU A BIT. AND WE GET INTO FULL BUILD OUT MODE. AND SO YOU'LL SEE THE AVERAGE DAY DEMAND OR THE NUMBER OF WATER CONNECTIONS RISES WITH THAT.

WITH THAT POPULATION, THE AVERAGE DAY DEMAND CONTINUES TO INCREASE MAX DAY DEMAND AS WELL.

AND THOSE PEAK PUMPING HOURS. AND SO WITH THAT WITH THAT RAPID GROWTH, YOU'RE GOING TO NEED TO INCREASE YOUR WATER CAPACITY.

AND SO THE PUMPING CAPACITY OF THE WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM HAS TO GROW WITH THOSE DEMANDS.

AND BASICALLY WHAT THIS CHART SHOWS IS THE BOTH NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL AND THE T-C-E-Q REQUIREMENTS OR WHAT THEY LIKE TO SEE HERE.

SO YOU'VE GOT THE, THE GREEN BARS, YOUR MAX DAY DEMAND.

THAT BLUE BAR IS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT FOR YOUR FIRM PUMPING CAPACITY, WHICH MEANS THAT'S YOU'RE PUMPING YOUR PUMPS ARE RUNNING AT THE MOST EFFICIENT RATE THAT THEY POSSIBLY CAN THERE. AND SO OUR EXISTING PUMP FIRM CAPACITY IS 6.5 MGD WITH A FULL BUILD OUT NECESSARY OF 12.

SO THE UPGRADE MINIMUM WILL BE 5.5. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT WITH THOSE TWO PROJECTS. AND THEN THE IMMEDIATE STORAGE NEEDS IMMEDIATE STORAGE NEEDS CAN BE RESOLVED WITH A 3 MILLION GALLON GROUND STORAGE TANK AT THAT RIVERSTONE PUMP STATION SITE.

AND THIS WILL STILL MEET THE NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL REQUIREMENTS, THEIR STORAGE GOALS UP TO 2035.

SO IT GIVES YOU TIME TO ADDRESS THAT SECONDARY SITE, FIGURE OUT IF YOU NEED TO ACQUIRE ANY LAND AND WHAT IMPROVEMENTS YOU KNOW TRULY NEED TO TAKE PLACE THERE, AND WHAT YOU CAN WORK WITH WITH EXISTING CITY FACILITIES THERE.

SO RIGHT NOW ALL THE CITY HAS THAT AS FAR AS GROUND STORAGE GOES IS A HALF MILLION GALLON TANK AT THAT RIVERSTONE PUMP STATION SITE AND AT FULL BUILD OUT FOR 12

[01:30:08]

THAT'S WHAT T-C-E-Q REQUIRES. NORTH TEXAS WOULD LIKE TO SEE 12 HOURS OF MAX DAY DEMAND.

SO THE GREEN BAR YOU'RE SEEING WOULD BE T-C-E-Q.

THAT'S THE ACTUAL STATE REQUIRED STORAGE NEEDS FOR GROUND STORAGE TANKS.

AND THEN YOUR GRAY BAR WOULD BE FOR NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL.

AND SO THE UPGRADE MINIMUM, THERE WOULD BE 4.5 MILLION GALLONS.

THROUGHOUT YOUR FOR YOUR SYSTEM. AND THAT WOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH YOUR GROUND STORAGE TANK AT THE RIVERSTONE PUMP STATION PUMP STATION SITE. AND ANOTHER ONE AT THE SECONDARY SITE UP NEAR TOWN EAST BOULEVARD. AND SO PART OF WHAT WE DID HERE WITH THIS TEAM WAS WE LOOKED AT THE EXISTING RIVERSTONE PUMP STATION SITE FOR MULTIPLE REASONS.

TALKING WITH TOWN STAFF, WE'RE TRYING TO SEE IF WE CAN THE TOWN CAN UTILIZE THAT SPACE THAT YOU ALREADY OWN FOR OTHER PROJECTS, SUCH AS A EITHER A TOWN SERVICE CENTER OR ANIMAL SHELTER.

AND SO WE LOOKED A LITTLE BIT OF THAT BUT ALSO PART OF THAT, WE NEEDED TO JUST FIGURE OUT WHAT COULD BE USED AT THIS SITE WITH THAT EXISTING GROUND STORAGE TANK. SO AS I MENTIONED, THE CURRENT CONDITIONS, IT'S JUST A HALF OR A 500,000 GALLON GROUND STORAGE TANK.

AND THOSE CONDITIONS INTERNALLY ARE UNKNOWN. ESPECIALLY THE LAST FEW YEARS WITH THE DEMANDS OF THE OF THE TOWN.

THERE'S BEEN THEY'VE REALLY BEEN UNABLE TO KEEP WATER IN THERE.

IT'S CONSTANTLY RUNNING AND WATER IS CONSTANTLY BEING PUMPED OUT OF THAT TANK.

AND SO THERE'S NEVER BEEN A CHANCE TO TAKE IT OFFLINE AND ACTUALLY GO INSIDE AND INSPECT THE INSIDE.

SO VERY LIKELY AN INTERNAL INSPECTION HAS NOT BEEN PERFORMED SINCE 99 WHENEVER THE TANK WAS BUILT.

IF IT HAS, WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND DOCUMENTATION OF IT.

WE DON'T BELIEVE IT HAS. AND ONE OF THE REASONS WE CAN'T TAKE IT OFF ONLINE IS IT'S OUR SOLE GROUND STORAGE TANK THAT FEEDS THE PUMPS.

SO HOW DO YOU TAKE IT OFFLINE AND STILL FEED THE PUMPS? SO ESSENTIALLY, WE CANNOT TAKE IT OFFLINE UNTIL WE BUILD ANOTHER GROUND STORAGE TANK AT RIVERSTONE.

SO WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CONDITION IT IS ON THE INSIDE.

OBVIOUSLY HAVING A METAL TANK IN SERVICE SINCE 1999, ESSENTIALLY 25 YEARS WORKING ON 26 WITHOUT BEING INSPECTED OR PAINTED IS OF GRAVE CONCERN TO STAFF AND SYSTEM RELIABILITY.

AND SO WITH ALL THAT SAID, YOU KNOW, IT COULD REQUIRE SOME SIGNIFICANT, NOT JUST COSMETIC OR PAINTING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

IT COULD BE SIGNIFICANT STRUCTURAL REHAB. AND SO REHABILITATION JUST TO PROVIDE A ROUGH COST, WHETHER YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE LOW END TO THE HIGH END, COULD BE ANYWHERE FROM $3 TO $7 PER GALLON.

SO YOU'RE LOOKING ANYWHERE FROM 1.5 TO, YOU KNOW, THREE, $3.5 MILLION.

SO IT COULD BE. AND WITH THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY, AS YOU'LL SEE IN THE APCS THAT WERE PROVIDED FOR THE COUPLE OF OPTIONS THAT WE HAVE, YOU COULD GET A BRAND NEW TANK OUT OF THAT. SO IT'S A THAT'S THAT'S WHY OUR RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO AT THE END OF US PUTTING IN THE NEW TANK, TAKING THIS ONE OUT OF COMMISSION. AND AS I MENTIONED, WE DID LOOK INTO JUST THE SPACE THAT'S AVAILABLE ON THIS SITE.

SO WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF SPACE LIMITING FACTORS TO CONSIDER ON THAT.

THE IMAGE TO THE LEFT, YOU'LL SEE SOME LIGHT BLUE AND SOME GREEN LINES ON THERE.

THOSE ARE EXISTING WATER AND SEWER LINES THAT ARE ON THE SITE.

YOU'VE GOT THE TWO INCH FORCE MAIN THAT RUNS UP THE CENTER OF THE SITE, ALONG WITH SOME WATER AND SEWER THAT SERVICES THAT INDUSTRIAL PARK THERE TO THE TO THE WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY ON THE SOUTH END OF THIS RIVERSTONE PUMP STATION, RIVERSTONE PUMP STATION SITE.

ONE THING TO CONSIDER IS THAT THE WE COULD DO SOME FLAT WORK ON THAT, BUT DEFINITELY GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET ANY STRUCTURES ON TOP OF IT.

AND SO PART OF WHAT WE LOOKED INTO FOR, FOR JEFF IS SEEING IF WE COULD UTILIZE ANY OF THAT SPACE AND WHAT'S TRULY BUILDABLE AREA, ONCE YOU GET THE IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE RIVERSTONE PUMP STATION, THE NEW GROUND STORAGE TANK, THE IMPROVEMENTS TO THAT EXISTING PUMP STATION BUILDING WHAT'S LEFT AND SO WHAT'S USABLE.

AND SO ANOTHER FACTOR ON THERE WOULD BE AN EXISTING AT&T SOUTHWESTERN BELL EASEMENT.

MATT AND I HAVE BEEN COORDINATION NOW THIS PAST WEEK, AND I WAS ON THE PHONE A LOT LONGER WITH AT&T THAN I WOULD LIKE TO BE.

AND THEY AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANSWERS TO ME BECAUSE THEY'RE REALLY FUN TO, TO TALK TO.

AND BUT I'M HOPING TO GET THAT NAILED DOWN HERE SOON.

BUT WHAT WE CAN KIND OF SEE, THOUGH, AFTER SEEING SOME PLATS TO THE EAST AND SEEING SOME SOME DEDICATIONS TO THE WEST, IS THAT VERY LIKELY THIS EASEMENTS DORMANT AND THE LINE IN THERE IS NOT ACTIVE, BUT WE ARE TRYING TO GET THAT CONFIRMED.

THAT WAY WE CAN ACTUALLY SAY THE THE AREA NORTH OF THAT EXISTING TANK IS FULLY USABLE AND NOT BEING BLOCKED BY ANYTHING LIKE AN AT&T EASEMENT.

RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. AND THEN JUST TO GO INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THE SPECIFICS THAT THAT FIRST TABLE THAT YOU SAW AND WHAT I KNOW MATT'S PRESENTED ON THE PAST KIND OF

[01:35:05]

YOU'LL SEE THAT THE WE'RE ANTICIPATING PUTTING THAT TANK ON THE SOUTHWEST SIDE OF THE EXISTING SITE, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THERE'S A YELLOW YELLOW CIRCLE AND A RED CIRCLE.

THIS IS WHERE WE PLAYED WITH TANK HEIGHTS. THERE'S WAYS FOR US TO DECREASE THE FOOTPRINT OF THAT TANK AND SAVE ON SOME SPACE BY MESSING WITH THE THE HEIGHT OF THE TANK.

AND SO WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO COORDINATE WITH NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL AND SEE WHAT ELEVATION THEY CAN GIVE US AT THAT SITE IN ORDER FOR US TO ACTUALLY INCREASE THAT TANK HEIGHT AND JUST PROVIDE MORE BUILDABLE AREA ALL AROUND.

AND WITH THAT, SO THE, THE PHASE ONE, YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE SHORTEST CONSTRUCTABILITY TIMELINE AND INCREASES THE SHORT TERM CAPACITY OF, OF THE TOWN RIGHT NOW. AND THAT'S, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I KNOW IS GREATLY NEEDED.

AND LOOKING AT THE EXPANSION TO ATTEND MGD FIRM CAPACITY PROPOSED, WE HAVE THE 3 MILLION GALLON GROUND STORAGE TANK AS SEEN ON THEIR ELECTRICAL EXPANSION AT THE ACTUAL BUILDING AND THEN DECOMMISSIONING OF THE EXISTING GROUND STORAGE TANK ONCE THE OTHER IS ONLINE, SITTING AT ROUGHLY AROUND $6.1 MILLION FOR THAT PHASE ONE.

AND THEN ON TO PHASE TWO. PHASE TWO IS AT THE UP NEAR THE ELEVATED STORAGE TANK SITE OFF OF TOWN EAST.

AND WHAT THIS DOES IS KIND OF BRINGS YOUR SYSTEM FULL CIRCLE AND PROVIDES THAT REDUNDANCY THAT, THAT YOU NEED IF THE RIVERSTONE PUMP STATION SITE WERE TO EVER GO OUT, OR YOU HAVE TO DRAIN THAT TANK IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO PERFORM MAINTENANCE ON IT AND KEEP IT UP AND MAKE SURE IT'S STILL IT'S STILL WORKING 50 YEARS IN THE FUTURE.

THEN THEN THIS IS HOW YOU'D BE ABLE TO DO IT BY HAVING SOMETHING YOU COULD RELY ON WHILE THAT'S SHUT DOWN.

AND AND RIGHT NOW, THAT ELEVATED STORAGE TANK IS, IS PUMPED.

OR THE ONLY REASON WATER GETS TO IT IS BECAUSE IT'S PUMPED FROM THE RIVERSTONE PUMP STATION. AND SO IF THAT WERE TO GO DOWN, THIS SITE ALSO GOES DOWN. AND ONCE THAT WATER GETS DRAINED FROM IT. SO PHASE TWO ADDRESSES ALL THOSE NEEDS.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT AN OPPORTUNITY TO USE IN THAT YELLOW OR THE HIGHLIGHTED AREA, THE OPPORTUNITY TO USE THE EXISTING FIRE TRAINING FACILITY SITE.

I UNDERSTAND THIS IS CONTINGENT UPON MAYBE SOME LIBRARY, BEING OPENED.

THINGS LIKE THAT. SO YOU CAN YOU CAN UTILIZE THE EXISTING TOWN PROPERTY AND THE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS, WHICH WERE AWARE THAT THEY, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THAT SITE TO THE EAST, THEY'VE GOT SOME OR TO THE SOUTHEAST.

EAST, THEY'VE GOT SOME PIPELINE OUT THERE. SO OBVIOUSLY A RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THERE'S SOME CONSTRUCTION THAT CAN HAPPEN IN THAT AREA.

SO LOOKING AT AROUND $12.3 MILLION FOR THAT PHASE AND THE ESTIMATED COMPLETION TIME OF THAT WOULD BE AROUND 2035, WHEN AS I MENTIONED EARLIER IN THE PRESENTATION, THAT'S WHEN YOUR CAPACITY NEEDS WOULD BE MET.

FOR THAT AFTER THAT FIRST PHASE. QUICK, QUICK QUESTION. SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOU. WHAT I SEE, I KNOW OUR ESTIMATED COMPLETION. IF WE ADOPT THIS.

WHAT WHAT IS THE CONSTRUCTION TIMELINE ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS? SAY, WE SAID DO THIS.

NOW. WHAT'S THE WHAT'S A ROUGH BUILD TIME? BUILD TIME ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS? STRICTLY JUST FROM A DESIGN PERSPECTIVE. YOU'RE LOOKING AT ANYWHERE FROM A YEAR TO YEAR AND A HALF. AND THEN AFTER THAT, ONCE YOU GET INTO THE BIDDING AND CONSTRUCTION PHASE, YOU'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT ANOTHER TWO YEARS TO THREE YEARS OVERALL.

SO IT'S PROBABLY ANYWHERE FROM ABOUT A THREE AND A HALF TO FOUR AND A HALF YEAR TIME FRAME FROM START TO FINISH.

THERE'S ALSO ISSUES WITH NORTH TEXAS, WI. THIS COUNTS ON ANOTHER DELIVERY POINT FROM NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT.

WE HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM. THEY'RE THEY'RE OPEN TO IT.

THEY SAID THEY CAN THEY'D BE EAGER TO TO TAKE SOME OF THE CAPACITY OFF OF THE US 80 LINES THAT THEY OPERATE AND PUT IT ON THIS LINE, BECAUSE IT'S A MUCH LARGER LINE. THE LINE THAT RUNS NEXT TO OUR ELEVATED TANK IS A 60 INCH DIAMETER LINE.

I COULD STAND INSIDE THAT LINE. SO IT DOES HAVE MORE CAPACITY.

BUT IT TAKES SOME TIME. THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO SOME WORK ON THEIR END TO BUILD SOME ISOLATION VALVES ON THAT MAIN, TAKE OUT A TEE TO STUB IT OUT TO OUR SITE AND BUILD ALSO A METERING VAULT.

SO THERE'S NOT ONLY OUR CONSTRUCTION, BUT IT'S COORDINATION WITH THEM AND THEM PUTTING TOGETHER A CONTRACT TO BUILD PUT IN THOSE VALVES AND THAT METERING VAULT, WHICH WOULD TAKE THEM TIME. AND WE WOULD OF COURSE HAVE TO REIMBURSE THEM FOR THOSE COSTS AS WELL.

THEY ESTIMATED THOSE COSTS AT SOMETHING AROUND THREE QUARTERS OF $1 MILLION.

THANK YOU. MAN, I REMEMBER THERE WERE CONSTRAINTS. I JUST REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT THE CONSTRAINTS WERE. WHEN WE LOOK AT A TRUE NORTH, TEXAS IS EAGER TO SHIFT SOME OF THE LOAD EVENTUAL LOAD OFF OF THOSE US 80 PIPELINES TO THIS PIPELINE, AND IT'S JUST A TRUE, TRUE REDUNDANCY, CORRECT, TO OUR WATER SYSTEM.

IT IS INDEED. I MEAN, KNOWING WHAT'S GOING ON EVERYWHERE ELSE, YOU KNOW, IN THE WORLD.

YES, SIR. THAT REDUNDANCY. SO. OKAY. THANK YOU.

I KNEW THERE WERE CONSTRAINTS. I JUST REMEMBER WHAT. ALL RIGHT.

[01:40:05]

AND WE'VE KIND OF HAMMERED THE BENEFITS HOME OF OF THE REDUNDANCY AND OF MEETING THOSE IMMEDIATE NEEDS THROUGH THE PHASING OF ALTERNATIVE ONE.

THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS THE THE MOST COSTLY ONE.

AND IT'S A LOT OF IT'S BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE FUTURE DOLLARS GET PUSHED. WE TRY TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT INFLATION AND SOME OF THOSE FACTORS THAT THAT COME WITH DOING THIS PROJECT, YOU KNOW, ANOTHER TEN YEARS DOWN THE LINE. AND THAT ALSO COMES WITH SOME POTENTIAL PURCHASE OF MORE LAND.

IF YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO UTILIZE THAT EXISTING TOWN PROPERTY, YOU MAY HAVE TO ACQUIRE SOME OF THE LAND EITHER TO THE NORTH OR TO THE EAST. ALSO COMES WITH THE COORDINATION WITH NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL.

SO THERE THERE ARE THINGS THAT WILL HAVE TO HAPPEN.

THOSE WILL BE CHALLENGES ALONG THE WAY. AND THAT'S WHY THIS BECOMES A LITTLE BIT MORE COSTLY AT THE END OF THE DAY. ALL RIGHT.

ALTERNATIVE TWO. THIS KEEPS ALL IMPROVEMENTS TO THE RIVERSTONE PUMP STATION SITE.

AND SO THIS CONSEQUENTLY DOES KEEP IT CHEAPER.

AND SO YOU'RE NOT HAVING TO DO A LOT OF THAT THAT EXTRA COORDINATION.

WE WOULD DO THE EXPANSION TO 12 MILLION GALLON FIRM CAPACITY AT THE PUMP STATION.

NOW WE ESSENTIALLY MAKE ALL THOSE IMPROVEMENTS THAT THE PUMP STATION WILL NEED NOW AND IN THE FUTURE IN ONE SWOOP.

WE WOULD PUT IN THE PROPOSED 3 MILLION GALLON GROUND STORAGE TANK AND DO THE ELECTRICAL EXPANSIONS AT THE BUILDING AS WELL, WITH PHASE TWO BEING ANOTHER 3 MILLION GALLON GROUND STORAGE TANK AND THEN DECOMMISSIONING OF THAT EXISTING EST OR THE EST AT TOWN EAST. SO WITH THAT, THE PHASE ONE WOULD BE ROUGHLY $8 MILLION TO DO THOSE IMPROVEMENTS NOW AND THEN IN THE FUTURE, PHASE TWO WOULD BE ABOUT FIVE CHEAPEST ALTERNATIVE.

THE PROBLEM IS NOT ONLY DOES THIS TAKE AWAY ALL THE REDUNDANCY THAT YOUR SYSTEM NEEDS, TRULY, BUT IT ALSO LIMITS ANY EXTRA SPACE THERE THAT JEFF AND ANYBODY ELSE IS LOOKING TO USE FOR THOSE POTENTIAL TOWN FACILITIES SO CHEAPEST, BUT ALSO, YOU KNOW, KEEPS YOU, KEEPS YOUR SYSTEM AT RISK.

AND I THINK THAT'S THAT'S THE PART THAT WE'VE HAMMERED HOME WITH WITH JEFF AND MATT AND AND EVERYBODY.

AND WHAT THEY UNDERSTAND IS THAT WE JOKE EVEN A SIMPLE I SAY SIMPLE, EVEN A LIGHTNING STRIKE COULD JUST TAKE OUT YOUR SYSTEM.

AND NEXT THING YOU KNOW, YOU'RE YOU'RE RUNNING ON EMPTY FOR A WHILE.

AND SO PART OF WHAT WE'RE DOING IN THE THE MASTER PLAN FOR THE WATER IS LOOKING INTO EMERGENCY CONNECTIONS WITH THE SURROUNDING TOWNS AND CITIES LIKE GARLAND AND MESQUITE. BUT THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS THEY STILL WON'T BE ABLE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE PRESSURE AND THE CAPACITY THAT YOU'RE WITH, THE SUPPLY THAT THE ENTIRE TOWN WOULD NEED IN THOSE MOMENTS.

IT COULD GET YOU BY TEMPORARILY, BUT IT STILL WOULD NOT BE ADEQUATE TO TO HANDLE THOSE SITUATIONS.

AND LIKE I JUST MENTIONED, SOME OF THE BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES BROKEN DOWN IN A LIST FOR YOU. SO IT DOES PROVIDE THE TOWN WITH THOSE 12 MILLION GALLON PER DAY FIRM CAPACITY PUMPING AND IT MEETS THAT ONE ONE AND A QUARTER TIMES MAX DAY DEMAND PUMPING CAPACITY REQUIREMENT WITH THAT FIRST PHASE.

SO THAT'S THERE'S SOME DEFINITELY SOME BENEFITS THERE.

BUT THE MAJOR CHALLENGES ARE, IN MY OPINION, STRONG ENOUGH TO WHERE THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE TRULY CONSIDERING AT THIS MOMENT.

AND THEN ALTERNATIVE THREE I WON'T SPEND A TON OF TIME ON THIS BECAUSE IT'S ESSENTIALLY JUST ALTERNATIVE ONE FLIPPED IN REVERSE ESSENTIALLY PROVIDES YOUR YOUR REDUNDANCY UPFRONT.

BUT IT DOES RUN INTO ALL THOSE ISSUES, SAY, ISSUES THE CHALLENGES UPFRONT OF COORDINATING WITH NORTH TEXAS, REIMBURSING THEM FOR THE WORK, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW YOU'RE GOING TO HOW YOU'RE GOING TO UTILIZE THE TOWN'S PROPERTY UP HERE IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ACQUIRE PROPERTY.

SO IT KIND OF PUSHES ALL THOSE THINGS UP TO THE FOREFRONT.

AND THEN PHASE TWO, WE COME BACK WITH THE GROUND STORAGE TANK AND PUMPING CAPACITY OR PUMPING STATION IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE DISCUSSED IN ALTERNATIVE ONE.

AND BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES, EXACTLY AS I JUST MENTIONED, JUST FLIPS IT AND JUST PUSHES SOME OF THOSE LAND ACQUISITION PROBLEMS TO THE FOREFRONT AND PUSHES OUT THE PUSHES OUT THE TIMELINE OF WHEN YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET THAT YOUR PUMPING CAPACITY NEEDS THAT YOU HAVE NOW MET.

ALL RIGHT. JUST RECAP. SORRY. GO AHEAD. I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE FIRE CHIEF.

YES, SIR. OKAY. SO GIVEN WHAT WAS DISCUSSED RELATIVE TO OUR WATER ISSUES, IF WE WERE TO HAVE SOME CATASTROPHE, CATASTROPHE AND NOT ABLE TO PUMP WATER PROPERLY, HOW WOULD THAT IMPACT YOU IF WE HAD A FIRE? THAT'S TRUE.

[01:45:02]

HOWEVER, SHOULD FOR FOR SOME REASON, WE ACTUALLY COULD NOT DRAW WATER FROM A HYDRANT.

THEN WHAT WE WOULD DO IS WE WOULD HAVE OUR MUTUAL AID COMPANIES COME IN AND BRING IN SOME TANKER WATER, SOME SOME OF THE LARGE TANKERS THAT CAN CARRY LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER ON IT AND UTILIZE THAT.

AND WE WOULD HAVE TO RELAY PUMP. SO DEPENDING ON WHERE IT IS IN THE CITY, IF IT WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO MESQUITE OR GARLAND TO WHERE WE COULD JUST LAY A LONG LINE, WE WOULD LAY A LONG LINE TO ONE OF THOSE SYSTEMS WHERE WE COULD HOOK INTO THAT WATER.

IF NOT, THEN IT'D JUST BE A MATTER OF RELAY PUMPING.

OR IF WE WERE CLOSE ENOUGH TO A POND, THEN WE WOULD DRAFT WATER FROM A POND IN ORDER TO UTILIZE IT.

OKAY, SO I APPRECIATE THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE STAFF.

OPTION ONE, I THINK, IS OUR ONLY OPTION. THAT'S MY MY VIEW THAT WE SHOULD MAKE THE REPAIRS NEEDED IN THE CURRENT SYSTEM AND THEN BRING ONLINE THE REDUNDANCY AND THE STATE OF THE ART AND EVERYTHING WE NEED SO THAT WE'LL HAVE FIRST CLASS WATER SYSTEM. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. AND THEN THE LAST JUST SOME OF THE BUILD OUT GOALS THAT WE TALKED THROUGH JUST SHOWS YOU WHAT EACH ONE OF THESE ACCOMPLISHES.

SO THE THE ONLY THING THAT NONE OF THESE ALTERNATIVES ACCOMPLISH IS ALLOWING ENOUGH SPACE FOR A SERVICE CENTER. WE DID SOME EVALUATION AND JUST THE SPACE THAT THE PUBLIC WORKS GROUP WOULD NEED FOR, FOR A BRAND NEW SERVICE CENTER.

JUST IT'S NOT ADEQUATE FOR THAT SPACING. ALL THREE COULD ALLOW FOR THE ANIMAL SHELTER TO BE MOVED THERE.

BUT OUTSIDE OF THAT YOU SEE ALTERNATIVE ONE. ALTERNATIVE THREE ARE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME WITH ALTERNATIVE TO HAVING THOSE DOWNFALLS THAT WE DISCUSSED WITH THE LACK OF REDUNDANCY.

OKAY. JUST TO REHASH, OUR RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE ALTERNATIVE ONE WITH AN OVERALL COST OF $18.4 MILLION.

WITH THE PHASE ONE COST OF 6.1 AND THE PHASE TWO COST OF 12.3 WITH THE TIMELINE, THE ESTIMATED YEAR OF COMPLETION OF ALTERNATIVE ONE FOR THAT PHASE ONE BEING ROUGHLY 2028 BEFORE EVERYTHING IS ONLINE, AND 2035 FOR PHASE TWO.

IF YOU WERE TO GET STARTED SHORTLY THEREAFTER.

ANY QUESTIONS? CAN WE GO BACK A SLIDE JUST FOR REFERENCE? THANKS. SO, MATT, TALK US THROUGH AGAIN OUR ALTERNATIVE NUMBER TWO. SEE THIS THIS PRETTY MUCH WHAT STAFF IS RECOMMENDING.

IF I RECALL. RIGHT. IS THAT RIGHT, JEFF? NO. WE'RE RECOMMENDING THE TOP RECOMMENDATION.

RECOMMENDING ALTERNATIVE ONE. OH, IT'S THE SHADING THAT THREW ME OFF.

IT'S JUST THE DELINEATION OF THE OF THE THREE.

I KNOW IT'S IT'S RECOMMENDATION ONE, WHICH WOULD BE IMMEDIATE IMPROVEMENT AT RIVERSTONE BY ADDING A 3 MILLION GALLON GROUND STORAGE TANK AND PUMP STATION IMPROVEMENTS TO GIVE US GREATER PUMPING CAPACITY.

THEN IN THE THAT SHOULD BE FINISHED BY 2028. THEN WE WOULD DURING THAT TIMEFRAME OR SHORTLY THEREAFTER, WE'D LOOK AT ACQUIRING A SITE, STARTING TALKS WITH NORTH TEXAS, ACQUIRING A SITE NEAR OUR ELEVATED TANK.

EVALUATING WHAT WE COULD UTILIZE DEPENDING IF WE MOVE THE LIBRARY, IF WE CAN UTILIZE THE OLD FIRE STATION SITE DEPENDING ON THE TIME FRAME AND FUNDS AVAILABLE TO MOVE THE LIBRARY. AND IF WE CAN'T UTILIZE THAT SITE, THEN WE OBVIOUSLY NEED A LARGER LAND ACQUISITION.

IF WE CAN UTILIZE THE THE LIBRARY SITE, THAN IT WOULD PROBABLY BE A TAD BIT LESS LAND THAT NEEDED TO BE ACQUIRED.

SO IF EITHER OPTION IS GOOD THERE, BUT SOMEWHERE IN THAT VICINITY DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE EXISTING ELEVATED TANK SITE, WE WOULD ACQUIRE LAND, BUILD ANOTHER 3 MILLION GALLON GROUND STORAGE TANK AND ANOTHER REDUNDANT PUMP STATION.

SO THAT IF ONE OF OUR PUMP STATIONS GOES DOWN, THE OTHER IS ABLE TO SUPPLY THE CITY WITH WATER, MEET FIRE DEPARTMENT NEEDS DURING A FIRE EVENT, AND MEET THE NEEDS OF THE CITIZENS AS FAR AS THEIR DOMESTIC USE.

I WORKED FOR MANY WATER SYSTEMS. I'VE HAD EXPERIENCE WITH A NUMBER OF OTHERS.

RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS. YOU SEE, I MEAN, THE CATASTROPHE IN LOS ANGELES IS BECAUSE THEY HAD A GIGANTIC RESERVOIR THAT WAS DOWN FOR

[01:50:01]

BUT YOU READ EVERY DAY OF CITIES THAT HAVE TO PUT OUT BOIL WATER NOTICE BECAUSE THEY'VE LOST THEIR SYSTEM BECAUSE OF EITHER A MAIN BREAK OR FOR SOME REASON OR ANOTHER THEY, THEY LOST WATER PRESSURE AND HAD TO NOTIFY THEIR CITIZENS THAT THEY HAD TO BOIL WATER BECAUSE IT WAS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRINK. AND WE DON'T WANT TO BE THERE. WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE A FIRE WHERE THAT WE CAN'T FIGHT, AND WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO TELL OUR CITIZENS EVER THAT THERE, THERE WATER COMING OUT OF THEIR TAP IS OF INADEQUATE QUALITY.

AND THEY HAVE TO BOIL IT. MAYOR PRO TEM AND COUNCIL, I JUST WANT TO ADD HERE AT THE END OF THE PRESENTATION TO YOU, THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PLANNING FOR OTHER FUTURE TOWN FACILITIES.

AS OBVIOUSLY THIS PROJECT, CLEARLY THERE'S A DOMINO EFFECT IN TERMS OF LOCATIONS FOR BOTH ANIMAL SHELTER, LIBRARY, EVEN FIRE TRAINING FACILITY WAS MENTIONED IN THE PRESENTATION.

SO THIS PROCESS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING, BUT WELL WORTH THE WAIT.

IT'S AN IMPORTANT ENGINEERING STUDY FOR YOU ALL TO MAKE A DECISION, BUT CLEARLY THE THE OPTION THAT YOU PICK DOES HAVE IMPLICATIONS FOR SOME OF OUR OTHER FACILITIES, WHICH AGAIN, IT'S JUST A JUST A MATTER OF FACT.

JUST TO POINT OUT, WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR LONG TERM CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANNING EFFORTS.

SO SO REMIND ME IS OPTION ONE THE BEST USE OF SPACE FOR FUTURE PLANNING ACTIVITIES.

IS THAT RIGHT IT OPTION ONE GIVES US ROOM AT THE CURRENT RIVERSTONE PUMP STATION SITE TO PLACE AN ANIMAL SHELTER THERE IF WE SO DESIRE. IT DOES LEAVE ENOUGH ROOM LEFT OVER. MATTER OF FACT, ALL THREE OPTIONS.

STILL HAVE ENOUGH ROOM FOR AN ANIMAL SHELTER.

AS I MENTIONED WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN EARLY DECEMBER.

THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE PHYSICALLY ISOLATED FROM EACH OTHER BY A FENCE.

YOU CANNOT ALLOW PEOPLE VISITING THE ANIMAL SHELTER TO ENTER INTO THE PUMP STATION SITE.

THAT'S A SECURITY REQUIREMENT. WATER SECURITY IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY HIGH PRIORITY IN TODAY'S HEIGHTENED TERRORIST ENVIRONMENT.

SO THAT'S JUST A JUST COMMON SENSE. BUT NONE OF THE OPTIONS GIVE US ENOUGH ROOM TO PLACE A RELOCATED FIELD OPERATION SERVICE CENTER THERE. THE CURRENT SITE IS QUITE LARGE, AND OBVIOUSLY PUBLIC WORKS AND PARKS OPERATIONS NEED A LOT OF ROOM FOR EQUIPMENT FOR LAY DOWN AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

AND THE SITE, AS IT'S CURRENTLY CONFIGURED WITH AT LEAST ONE 3 MILLION GALLON GROUND STORAGE TANK AT RIVERSTONE DOES NOT HAVE ADEQUATE ROOM FOR RELOCATING THE PUMPS OR OUR SERVICE CENTER, SO WE WOULD HAVE TO EITHER FIND ANOTHER PLACE FOR THE SERVICE CENTER IF WE WANT TO RELOCATE IT, OR KEEP IT IN ITS PRESENT LOCATION. SO PROVIDE DUAL ANTI MWD SUPPLY AND PUMPING. IS THAT FOR REDUNDANCY WE GO FROM TWO PUMPS TO NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT.

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE. YEP. THAT THAT'S THEIR RECOMMENDATION OF THE AMOUNT OF GROUND STORAGE WE SHOULD HAVE BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE SYSTEM.

THEY HAVE THE DELIVERY SYSTEM THAT PUMPS INTO OUR GROUND STORAGE.

AND THEY HAVE FLUCTUATIONS IN HOW THEY CAN MEET DEMAND.

AND SO AND THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE TO TAKE PIPELINES DOWN AS WELL IN ORDER TO DO SYSTEM MAINTENANCE AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

SO THEY RECOMMEND THAT ALL OF THEIR MEMBER AND CUSTOMER CITIES HAVE AT LEAST EIGHT HOURS OF GROUND STORAGE AVAILABLE AND PREFERABLY 12 HOURS. WE HAVE NEITHER RIGHT NOW.

SO RIVERSTONE CENTER HAS TWO PUMPS. CURRENTLY WE HAVE THREE PUMPS.

CURRENTLY PUMPS. CURRENTLY WE HAVE THREE PUMPS. THEY'RE ALL I BELIEVE 300 HORSEPOWER PUMPS.

RIGHT. AND AND YOU MIGHT REMEMBER IN THE SUMMER OF 2023, WE, WE HAD THAT ISSUE AND WE WERE WE HAD TWO PUMPS BECAUSE PUMP THREE WAS DOWN FOR MAINTENANCE. AND THEN WE HAD THE LIGHTNING STRIKE AND THEN WE WERE JUST DOWN TO ONE PUMP, YOU KNOW, IN THE MIDDLE OF JULY. SO YEAH, THE, THE DUAL ATM THAT, THAT IS THE REDUNDANCY THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR, YOU KNOW, TO PROTECT OURSELVES.

YOU KNOW, YOU NEVER KNOW. YOU KNOW, US 80 COULD HAVE A BIG, YOU KNOW, INCIDENT WITH A TANKER TRUCK OR SOMETHING.

AND THEN IT, YOU KNOW, DAMAGES OUR EXISTING, YOU KNOW, WATER SUPPLY.

AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PROTECT OURSELVES AND HAVE THAT, THAT REDUNDANCY.

YOU AS SADIE, IS ABOUT READY TO GO UNDER RECONSTRUCTION.

AND A LOT OF THE INCIDENTS WHERE YOU HAVE A MAJOR MAIN BREAK IS WHEN A CONTRACTOR INADVERTENTLY STRIKES WITHOUT, YOU KNOW, A TRANSMISSION MAIN. AGAIN, THAT'S NOT THAT'S THE TYPE OF INCIDENT YOU READ ABOUT FAIRLY FREQUENTLY IN THE NEWS WHERE A LARGE DIAMETER WATER MAIN IS

[01:55:08]

THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT PROJECT ON USAID IS GOING TO LAST PROBABLY FIVE YEARS ONCE IT KICKS OFF.

SO IT'S A CONTINUING THREAT OUT THERE TO TO ONE OF BASICALLY OUR JUGULAR VEIN THAT FEEDS THIS CITY WITH WATER.

WILL WE EVER BE LOOKING TO EXPAND THE RIVERSTONE SITE AGAIN? ADDING ANOTHER TANK, ADDING MORE PUMPS? TEN YEARS, 20 YEARS.

JUST IF WE CHOOSE THE THE FIRST ALTERNATIVE. ALL'S WE WOULD NEED.

THERE IS ONE GROUND STORAGE TANK, AND WE WOULD INCREASE THE PUMP STATION CAPACITY TO I THINK IT WAS TEN MGD.

WAS IT OR. AND THEN THE REMAINDER OF THE CAPACITY WE'D PUT UP NORTH NEAR THE SECOND AT THE SECOND PUMP STATION.

SO WE'D HAVE 3,000,010 MILLION GALLONS. 3 MILLION OF GROUND STORAGE, 10 MILLION OF PUMPING CAPACITY AT RIVERSTONE, AND SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR AT THE NEW PUMP STATION SITE.

SO THEY'D BE ALMOST TWINS OF ONE ANOTHER THAT EITHER ONE COULD PROVIDE ADEQUATE CAPACITY TO KEEP THE SYSTEM OPERATIONAL IN CASE ONE SYSTEM WENT DOWN.

AND AGAIN, IT'S NOT UNUSUAL TO LOSE A PUMP FOR FOR THEIR COMPLEX SYSTEMS. AND COMPLEX SYSTEMS HAVE MANY FAILURE POINTS.

WE HAD A PUMP DOWN FOR ABOUT A MONTH THAT WE JUST BROUGHT ONLINE, BECAUSE THE VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE THAT DRIVES THE PUMP WAS DOWN, SO THAT ONE WAS DOWN, AND WE JUST BROUGHT IT BACK ONLINE WITH SOME REPAIRS.

IT TOOK US A WHILE TO GET SOME PARTS AND SO FORTH, BUT IT'S NOT UNUSUAL THAT AN ELECTRICAL COMPONENT OR SOMETHING FAILS.

YOUR MOTOR CONTROL CENTERS. IF YOU EVER TOOK A TOUR OF THOSE SITES AND YOU OPEN UP THOSE CABINETS, YOU REALIZE YOU LOOK AT ALL THE WIRING AND STUFF THAT GOES ON THERE, COMPLEX SYSTEMS. IT DOESN'T TAKE AS MUCH AS YOU THINK TO BRING THEM DOWN.

AND BASED ON THE FULL BUILD OUT OF THE TOWN, YOU KNOW, YOU SAW THOSE PROJECTIONS EARLIER.

ALTERNATIVE ONE WOULD PROVIDE. ACTUALLY, ALL THREE ALTERNATIVES WOULD PROVIDE SUFFICIENT PUMPING AND STORAGE CAPACITY FOR FULL BUILDING PERPETUITY ESSENTIALLY.

YEAH. THANK YOU. COUNCIL. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DANNY. ANYTHING? NO. COUNCILMAN. GEORGE. YOU GOOD? OKAY, SO YOUR RECOMMENDED RECOMMENDATION IS NUMBER ONE ALTERNATE, ONE COUNCIL.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THAT? WE AGREE THAT ALTERNATE ONE SEEMS TO BE THE BEST AS RECOMMENDED BY STAFF.

OKAY. WE HAVE TO VOTE ON THIS. I THINK IT'S JUST A I DON'T THINK IT'S A VOTING ISSUE.

IS IT? WE DON'T. OKAY. SO I THINK YOU HAVE HAVE SOME DIRECTION OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE LATE. OKAY COUNCIL, WE WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER FIVE. DISCUSS, CONSIDER AND ACT.

UPON AWARDING AN ENGINEERING CONTRACT TO KSA ENGINEERS IN THE AMOUNT OF $610,640 FOR THE DESIGN OF BARNES BRIDGE, BARNES BRIDGE ROAD, PAVING, DRAINAGE, WATER MAIN AND SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS AND AUTHORIZING THE TOWN MANAGER TO EXECUTE MATT.

HELLO AGAIN. YES. THANK YOU. COUNCIL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.

WE DO HAVE BEFORE YOU AN ENGINEERING DESIGN CONTRACT WITH KIMBERLY OR KSA ENGINEERS, INC.

IN THE AMOUNT OF 610,400 AND $640. THIS IS FOR DESIGNING IMPROVEMENTS FOR BARNES BRIDGE ROAD WITHIN THE TOWN.

IT WOULD BE PAVING, DRAINAGE, WATER MAIN AND SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS.

THIS IS A DIAGRAM OUT OF OUR CURRENT WATER MASTER PLAN THAT SHOWS IMPROVING BARNES BRIDGE ROAD.

CURRENTLY WE HAVE A SIX INCH WATER MAIN. IT'S ONE OF THE OLDEST WATER MAINS IN THE CITY.

WE KNOW IT'S AT LEAST 50 TO 60 YEARS OLD. WE DON'T EVEN HAVE RECORDS ON THE MAIN WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY CONSTRUCTED.

IT'S ONE OF OUR HIGHER MAINTENANCE MAINS. WE DO HAVE MAIN BREAKS ON IT FAIRLY FREQUENTLY.

OUR CURRENT MASTER PLAN, THE 2017 PLAN INDICATES THAT THIS DOES NEED TO BE INCREASED TO EIGHT INCHES IN SIZE.

THAT'S PART OF THIS IMPROVEMENT IS BASICALLY REPLACING THAT MAIN ALL THE WAY FROM BELTLINE ROAD ALL THE WAY TO POLY.

SO IT INCLUDES THE SECTION NOT JUST UP TO COLLINS WHICH IS A I THINK THE TOTAL LENGTH OF MAIN BEING SUGGESTED TO BE REPLACED IS 3.1 MILES OF SIX INCH MAIN. CURRENTLY, THIS MAIN IS ISOLATED AND CUT AT THE BRIDGE THAT IS OUT ON DUCK CREEK.

SO THE CITIZENS THAT LIVE ON BARNES BRIDGE ROAD ARE BEING FED BY A ONE WAY FEED THAT'S BEING FED OFF OF BELTLINE ROAD AND SOME OF THE RESIDENCES JUST TO THE EAST OF BELTLINE ROAD.

[02:00:01]

IF YOU DRIVE THAT SECTION OF BARNES BRIDGE ROAD FROM BELTLINE TO THE BRIDGE OR TO THE CITY LIMIT, WHICH IS JUST TO THE EAST OF THE BRIDGE MOST OF THAT ROADWAY IS IN FAIRLY DECENT SHAPE AS FAR AS THE PAVEMENT SURFACE, BUT THERE'S ABOUT 20 TO 30% OF THE ROADWAY THAT IS EXPERIENCING DISTRESS, AND THERE'S PAVEMENT DEFORMATION, CRACKING AND SO FORTH, POTHOLES THAT DO NEED TO BE REPLACED BEFORE WE ADD A LOT OF EXTRA TRAFFIC WHEN THE BRIDGE OPENS UP.

SO IT'S TARGETED PAVEMENT REPLACEMENTS. IT ALSO LOOKS AT ALL THE DRAINAGE ALONG THAT SEGMENT OF ROADWAY.

MANY OF THE CROSS CULVERTS THAT GO UNDERNEATH BARNES BRIDGE ROAD.

AGAIN, SINCE I'VE ONLY BEEN HERE ABOUT A YEAR AND A FEW MONTHS, AND I KNOW OF SEVERAL CULVERTS THAT HAVE FAILED, THAT THE PUBLIC WORKS STAFF HAVE HAD TO GO OUT THERE AND REPAIR BECAUSE THE CULVERTS ARE ARE CORRUGATED METAL CULVERTS, IN MANY CASES, THEY'RE LONG PAST THEIR LIFESPAN.

AND THEY'RE CORRODED AND STARTING TO FAIL AND BREAK DOWN.

SO THEY'VE HAD TO GO IN THERE AND REPLACE SEGMENTS AND DO A LOT OF WORK ON THOSE CULVERTS.

UNDOUBTEDLY THOSE CULVERTS ARE ALSO DRAMATICALLY UNDERSIZED FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.

SO THIS INCLUDES DRAINAGE ANALYSIS FOR THE FULL LENGTH OF THAT ROADWAY.

LOOKING AT THOSE CROSS DRAINAGE CULVERTS AND UPSIZING, THOSE CULVERTS WITH MODERN MATERIALS WITH REINFORCED CONCRETE PIPE OR CONCRETE BOX CULVERTS TO ENLARGE THEM AND IMPROVE THEM SO THAT THEY CAN HANDLE ANOTHER 100 YEARS OF SERVICE.

IT ALSO LOOKS AT TARGETED SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE ROADWAY, SIGNAGE IMPROVEMENTS, STRIPING, MARKING IMPROVEMENTS. MORE THAN LIKELY WE'LL HAVE TO DO SOME GUARDRAIL IMPROVEMENTS AS WELL IF YOU DRIVE THAT ROAD.

THERE ARE SOME PRETTY SEVERE TALL AND STEEP DROP OFFS RIGHT OFF THE EDGE OF THE ROADWAY.

WE'D ALSO LOOK AT POSSIBLY WIDENING THE ROAD WHERE THERE'S MAILBOXES AND SO FORTH.

I KNOW WHEN WE HAD CITIZENS SHOW UP HERE ABOUT THE BRIDGE PROJECT THEY EXPRESSED CONCERN ON HAVING TO STAND IN THE TRAFFIC WHILE PICKING UP THEIR MAIL. AND SO WE WOULD LOOK AT POSSIBLY WIDENING SECTIONS OF PAVEMENT OUT THERE TO GIVE MAIL TRUCKS A LITTLE BIT OF ROOM TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, DELIVER MAIL TO THE RESIDENTS AND TO GIVE THE RESIDENTS A LITTLE BIT OF AREA IN FRONT OF THEIR MAILBOXES TO RETRIEVE THEIR MAIL.

SO ALL THAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU. THERE IS A TIMELINE IN THE PROJECT AS WELL.

WE WOULD GET IT UNDERWAY IMMEDIATELY. WE'D HOPE TO GO TO BID.

AS THE TEXDOT BRIDGE PROJECT IS FINISHING UP.

THEY'RE TARGETED TO FINISH THAT BRIDGE AROUND SEPTEMBER 30TH OF THIS YEAR.

SO WE'D LIKE TO BE UNDER CONTRACT AND HOPEFULLY STARTING CONSTRUCTION ON THESE IMPROVEMENTS.

SHORTLY AFTER THAT BRIDGE IS COMPLETED BY TXDOT.

ANY QUESTIONS? QUESTIONS, COUNCIL. THANK YOU.
