[4D. The Director of Streets Department will provide an update to the City Council on thestatus of the department's maintenance and construction programs.]

UPDATE TO THE COUNCIL ON THE STATUS OF THE DEPARTMENT'S MAINTENANCE AND CONSTRUCTION PROGRAMS. MR. OLIVER.

WELL, AT LEAST THAT WHAT IT SAYS ON THE AGENDA.

[CHUCKLING] THAT'S MY STORY AND I'M STICKING WITH IT.

FAIR ENOUGH.

OKAY, COME UP HERE.

OOPS, THAT'S THE LIST OF STREETS.

RENE, IS THE PRESENTATION LOADED? GOT IT ON MY COMPUTER, BUT IT'S NOT SHOWING UP ON THE.

HANG ON, WE'LL GET DAN IN HERE AND WE'LL SORT IT OUT.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, WHO GETS PAID THE BIG BUCKS? WE NEED TO GET YOU A CAKE.

THIS, OF COURSE, IS OBVIOUSLY KIND OF A REGULAR UPDATE TO KIND OF LET YOU ALL KNOW WHERE WE STAND WITH OUR PROGRAM.

THIS IS JUST KIND OF A SUMMARY.

I THINK MANY ARE FAMILIAR WITH IT, BUT OBVIOUSLY, LOOKING AT WHERE WE WERE IN 13, 14 AT $10 MILLION AND WHERE WE ARE TODAY AT $32 MILLION.

THIS COUNCIL AND PREVIOUS COUNCILS HAVE STEPPED UP TO GIVE US THE FUNDING TO DO THE KIND OF MAINTENANCE WORK AND CONSTRUCTION WORK THAT WE NEED TO DO THAT WILL AUGMENT THE CITY'S NETWORK. THIS IS A BUDGET NEEDS FORECAST, OBVIOUSLY, THROUGH 21-22 IS ACTUALS.

NOW, THIS FUNDING STREAM THAT'S SHOWN HERE IS ACTUALLY SHOWING IT KIND OF WHAT WHAT OUR

[02:15:05]

PROJECTION IS NOW, AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW, IS SHOWING THAT THE NEEDS TO MAINTAIN AT 90 AND 85 WILL START LEVELING OFF.

NOW, WHAT WHAT THESE PROJECTIONS DON'T INCLUDE AND I ASKED MY ASSISTANT ABOUT THIS AS IT DOESN'T INCLUDE A LOT OF TIMES WE SPEND A LOT OF MONEY ON PROJECTS FOR OTHER DEPARTMENTS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE WATER DEPARTMENT.

IT DOESN'T ACCOUNT FOR THOSE FUNDS.

IT DOESN'T ACCOUNT FOR WHEN WE DO WHEN WE DO REPAIRS, A LOT OF TIMES WE'LL DO END UP DOING SIDEWALKS IF WE'RE TAKING CARE OF HAZARDOUS INFORMATION.

SO, IT DOESN'T INCLUDE ALL THAT.

SO, LOOKING FORWARD, SOME OF THOSE NUMBERS MAY HAVE TO BE BUMPED SOME, BUT IT DOES SHOW THAT WE ARE GETTING TO A POINT WHERE THAT THE NEEDS ARE GOING TO START LEVELING OFF.

AS YOU SEE, THIS IS THE KIND OF PATTERN THAT OUR STREET PCI/OCI HAS DONE.

IT DIPPED AND IT WENT TO A LOW POINT IN 2018, BUT IT STARTED ON THE WAY UP.

AT THIS POINT IN 2021, OUR NUMBERS WERE ACTUALLY TWO POINTS ABOVE WHERE WE HAD PROJECTED THEM TO BE WHEN WE DID THE ORIGINAL PROJECTION BACK IN 2013.

SO, WE ARE SEEING THAT WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS AND THE NUMBERS ARE GETTING THERE AND THE NUMBERS ARE GETTING THERE FAIRLY QUICKLY.

SO, THAT KIND OF GOES IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PREVIOUS SLIDES SHOWING THAT SOME OF THOSE NEEDS ARE GOING TO START LEVELING OFF, AND AS YOU NOTICE HERE, OF COURSE, SOME OF THAT MAY DIFFER. WE MADE OUR CALCULATION WITH 4% COST INFLATION, BUT OBVIOUSLY, AS WE SEE, THE NUMBERS HAVE CHANGED.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO START LOOKING AT ALL OF OUR NUMBERS AND WE'LL HAVE TO START LOOKING AT WHEN WE GET OUR BIDS AND SEE WHAT THOSE NUMBERS COME OUT, WE MAY HAVE TO OBVIOUSLY START READJUSTING SOME OF THOSE PRICES BECAUSE WE'VE OBVIOUSLY SEEN CONCRETE AND STEEL AND EVERYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH IT GO UP IN PRICE, AND THEN OUR ALLEYS, OUR ALLEYS ARE RIGHT AT THE POINT WHERE WE PROJECTED THEM TO BE AT THIS TIME.

SO THE ALLEYS HAVE BEEN A LITTLE SLOWER, BUT WE HAVE MADE A PRETTY GOOD RECOVERY FROM THE LOW POINT IN 2017, 2018, ONCE AGAIN, AND ALL THESE ARE BASED ON ALL THE FUNDING, ALL THAT STUFF IS BASED ON THE RESOLUTION THAT THE COUNCIL PASSED A FEW YEARS AGO WHERE THEY WANTED TO TARGET A 90 FOR [INAUDIBLE] AND 85 FOR ALL OTHER STREETS AND ALLEYS HERE, BREAKING IT DOWN BY THE TYPE OF ROADWAY YOU SEE.

OBVIOUSLY, ARTERIALS ARE IN THE BEST CONDITION.

THEY'RE THEY'RE AN AVERAGE PEAK OF ALMOST 90, BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT 90 ON AN ARTERIAL STREET, IF YOU THINK IT'S A 90, THEN ONE OUT OF EVERY TEN PANELS HAS SOME DEFECT TO IT.

IT SHOWS UP ON A LARGE SCALE ON THE ARTERIALS, BUT WE'RE SEEING THESE NUMBERS COME UP.

SO, WE'RE GETTING PRETTY CLOSE TO WHERE WE WHERE WE WANT TO BE ON ARTERIALS, AND OBVIOUSLY, THE RESIDENTIAL AND THE ALLEYS ARE THE ONES THAT ARE GOING TO NEED THE MOST, AND AS YOU'LL SEE ON THE LAST SLIDE, WE'RE STARTING TO SEE WE WILL SEE AS WE GO FORWARD IN THE NEXT 4 TO 5 YEARS, THE NUMBER OF PROJECTS WILL START TRENDING MORE FROM MORE OF THE LARGER ARTERIAL PROJECTS TO A LOT MORE OF THE RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS.

THIS IS JUST PROVIDED HERE TO KIND OF GIVE YOU SOME IDEA, IF YOU LOOK AT THIS, THIS THIS PIE CHART HERE, 42% OF OUR STREETS ARE 50 YEARS OLD OR OLDER.

NOW, WHEN WE SAY THE STREETS 50 YEARS OLD, IF WE GO AND DO A REPAIR ON THE STREET, IF WE IF WE DON'T DO A COMPLETE REBUILD, IT DOESN'T GET THE AGE DOESN'T GET RESET, ALTHOUGH A LOT OF IT IS A LOT NEWER THERE.

THE ONLY TIME WE RESET THE AGE IS WHEN WE COMPLETELY RECONSTRUCT THE WE COMPLETELY RECONSTRUCT THE STREET, RECONSTRUCT THE BASE AND REDO THE ENTIRE STREET.

THEN THAT RESETS THAT STRAIGHT INTO THAT INTO THAT NEW, YOU KNOW, BRAND NEW STREET.

SO, SOME OF THESE STREETS, ALTHOUGH THEY'RE OLDER, THEY DO HAVE THEY HAVE OBVIOUSLY HAD A LOT OF CONCRETE REPAIRS MADE ON THEM OVER THE OVER THE YEARS.

SAME THING WITH OUR ALLEYS.

ONCE AGAIN, WE'VE GOT A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE OF OUR STREETS AND ALLEYS THAT ARE PRETTY OLD. I THINK IT'S 44% BETWEEN--I'M SORRY, IT'S 24 THAT'S 60 YEARS AND OLDER, BUT THEN WHEN YOU CLEARED 40 YEARS AND OLDER, [INAUDIBLE] OVER HALF THE STREETS OR AT LEAST HALF THE ALLEYS ARE 40 YEARS AND OLDER, AND BECAUSE THE VAST MAJORITY OF THOSE, WHEN THEY GET BUILT WITH THE STREET, UNLESS THEY'VE BEEN COMPLETELY REBUILT AND WE'RE REBUILDING 10 TO 15 PER, THEN OVER TIME YOU'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF THOSE BEING IN THOSE OLDER CATEGORIES. JUST TO GIVE YOU UPDATE WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH OUR STREET COMMUNICATIONS UPDATE. WE ACTUALLY HAVE A PERSON THAT WE PAY THE SALARY [INAUDIBLE] WORKS IN PUBLIC AND MEDIA RELATIONS HERE, BUT I'LL GET A SHOUT OUT TO PATTI MORAN.

SHE DOES AN EXCELLENT JOB WITH THIS WORK.

SHE DOES EXCELLENT PRESENTATIONS.

SHE PUTS TOGETHER ALL THE MONTHLY STREET TALKS THAT GO OUT, THE CONSTRUCTION UPDATES, ALL THESE DIFFERENT ONES THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING THAT WE'VE COMPLETED ABOUT EXPLAINING WHAT THE PCI IS AND OUR CONCRETE CRUSHING OPERATIONS, WINTER WEATHER PLAN.

SO, WE HAVE A LOT OF THOSE THAT WE HAVE SET UP.

ANOTHER ONE THAT WE DID RIGHT THERE WAS THE FLOOD GATES AND WE JUST COMPLETED THE RAILROAD CROSSING ONE NOT TOO LONG AGO.

SHE'S ALSO DONE SOME REAL SHORT Q&A, LIKE 3O SECOND Q&AS.

WHY DO WE DO THIS? ONE OF THE ONES WAS THAT I JUST SAW WHAT'S IN THIS TREATMENT IS HOW DO WE DECIDE WHICH PROJECTS WE SELECT.

SO, THERE'S A LOT OF USEFUL INFORMATION THAT WE'RE PUTTING OUT THERE FOR THE PUBLIC TO CONSUME, AND THEN SOME OF THE OTHER ONES THAT SHE JUST FINISHED, ACTUALLY, SHE'S USING

[02:20:05]

THE DEVONWOOD RECONSTRUCTION TO DO THE STREET TALK TO, WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN MY STREET IS RECONSTRUCTED. SO, WE'RE TAKING THE PROJECT FROM THE VERY FIRST ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE END, AND WE'RE GOING TO WALK CITIZENS THROUGH WHAT THE PROJECT ENTAILS, SO THEY UNDERSTAND HOW LONG A PROJECT WILL LAST AND WHY IT LAST, WHAT THINGS ARE BEING DONE.

ONE OTHER THING WE'RE LOOKING AT, SHE'S TRYING TO TRANSLATE A LOT OF THIS CONTENT INTO SPANISH. PATTI IS ACTUALLY FLUENT IN SPANISH, SO THAT'S VERY HELPFUL THAT SHE CAN DO ALL THAT. SHE CAN TRANSLATE A LOT OF THIS INFORMATION INTO SPANISH.

THE PAVING OF UNPAVED VALLEYS, THAT'S A BIG ONE OF THE BOND PROGRAMS THERE.

SO, WE'RE PUTTING WE'RE GOING TO PUT TOGETHER A PROGRAM ON HOW THAT WORKS, AND THEN I THINK ONCE THEY FINISH SHILOH, IN CONJUNCTION WITH ENGINEER, SHE'S DOING A START TO FINISH ON SHILOH SO THAT PEOPLE CAN SEE HOW THESE PROJECTS CROSS PROCESS SHOULD BE DOING MORE ON THE PROCESS ON THE SIDEWALK PROGRAM, AND THEN SHE'S GOING TO UPDATE THE RAILROAD ONE AS WE GET FURTHER ALONG IN THE RAILROAD.

THIS IS AN UPDATE TO SEE WHERE WE ARE ON OUR POTHOLE REPAIRS AND PATCHES.

WE'RE RIGHT ON TARGET, ACTUALLY A LITTLE HIGHER THAN WE HAVE BEEN FOR THE BUDGET TREND.

NOW, THESE OTHER ITEMS, WE'RE A LITTLE BEHIND TREND.

ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE'RE BEHIND ON THE MAINTENANCE IS THE BIGGEST COMPONENT OF OUR MAINTENANCE PROGRAM IS OUR ASPHALT OVERLAY.

WELL, OUR ASPHALT PAVER WENT DOWN IN OCTOBER AND AS YOU RECALL, WE ACCELERATED THAT PROJECT, IMPROVED THE PAVING MACHINE AND WE'VE GOT IT OUT THERE NOW, AND SO WE'RE OUT CATCHING UP AND PAVING AND WE WILL GET TO OUR 35 LANE MILES BEFORE THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR.

THE MAINTENANCE GROUP JUST KIND OF HANDLES ALL MISCELLANEOUS TYPE THINGS, ANYTHING, PATCHING POTHOLE, THE GRADING OF ALLEYS, TREE REMOVAL AND ALL THE SEVERE WEATHER RESPONSE COMES FROM THE MAINTENANCE GROUP AND OUR CONSTRUCTION DASHBOARD IT'S BEHIND AND WE'RE BEHIND ABOUT 20%, BUT ONE OF THE REASONS ON THAT.

A COUPLE OF THINGS, ONE, OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

WE'RE FIGHTING VACANCIES AND TRYING TO FIND IF ANYBODY OUT THERE KNOWS A GOOD EQUIPMENT OPERATOR, PLEASE LET ME KNOW, BECAUSE WE HAVE A SHORTAGE OF THOSE.

WE COULD ALWAYS USE MORE EQUIPMENT OPERATORS, BUT PART OF THAT, TOO, IS THAT THE STREET CONSTRUCTION DOESN'T TEND TO BE A STRAIGHT LINE.

IT TENDS TO BE MORE SUMMER HEAVY.

SO, I THINK WE'LL SEE IN THE SUMMER, IT'LL PROBABLY WITH THE VACANCIES, PROBABLY TREND A LITTLE BEHIND, BUT WE STILL BELIEVE THAT WE'LL GET CLOSER TO THAT.

WE'LL GET A LOT CLOSER TO THAT TOTAL OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR WHEN WE GET TO THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR, BUT JUST SOME FIVE-YEAR STATISTICS LOOKING AT WHAT WE'VE DONE THE LAST FIVE YEARS, WE HAVE REPAIRED OR RECONSTRUCTED 334 LANE MILES.

THAT'S 14% OF OUR--THERE'S 2358 LANE MILES IN THE CITY.

WE'VE DONE WORK ON 14% OF THOSE WE'VE REPLACED OR REPAIRED SEVEN AND A HALF PERCENT OF OUR ALLEYS AND WE'VE OVERLAID ALMOST SEVEN AND A HALF PERCENT OF OUR STREETS WITH ASPHALT . SO, ALTOGETHER, WE HAVE WORKED, IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, WE'VE WORKED ON NEARLY 20% OF THE STREETS IN THE CITY, SOME KIND OF MAINTENANCE, SOME KIND OF REPAIR, SOME KIND OF RECONSTRUCTION, AND IT'S LOOKING WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AHEAD FROM APRIL TO JUNE, WE'LL BE WORKING A LOT MORE ON STREETS LIKE I SAID, THAT INCLUDES THE RECONSTRUCTION AND THE REPAIR PROJECTS, THE ALLEYS.

WE'VE GOT A CURRENT ALLEY CONTRACT IN PLACE THAT WE WILL BE CONTINUING TO WORK ON AND ON THE OVERLAYS LIKE I SAID IN THE NEXT QUARTER, WE SHOULD BE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE DOING 12 LANE MILES OF THAT. SO, WE SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM GETTING TO OUR 35 BEFORE THE YEAR IS OUT. GOING FORWARD TO OUR 22 TO 27, WE KIND OF EXPANDED IT TO A FIVE YEAR PROGRAM BECAUSE--OR ACTUALLY THAT'S SIX--WE'RE TRYING TO DO A MORE HOLISTIC APPROACH WITH OUR STREET CONSTRUCTION AND TRY TO BE MORE INCLUSIVE IN NEIGHBORHOODS WHEN WE GO INTO NEIGHBORHOODS AND NOT JUST PICK, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S FOUR OR FIVE STREETS THEY MAY ALL BE FAILED, BUT JUST PICKING THE ONE OR TWO THAT'S THE WORST AND NOT DOING THE OTHER ONE.

SO, AS WE DO THAT, THAT'S KIND OF EXTEND THE PROGRAM SOMEWHAT, BUT WE FEEL LIKE IT'S A BETTER WAY TO TRY TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES BUT WE IMPLEMENTED OUR CHOREOGRAPH SYSTEM IN 2018 AND THAT'S THE NEW PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. SO, SINCE THAT TIME, ALL OF THE STREETS AND ALLEYS IN THE CITY HAVE BEEN INSPECTED AT LEAST ONCE.

SOME OF THEM, OBVIOUSLY, THE WORSE CONDITION ONES ARE MORE FREQUENTLY INSPECTED, AND THEN WE HAVE FINALIZED OUR PROGRAM, THE SCENARIO BUILDER.

IT'S KIND OF A COMPARTMENT OF THIS PROGRAM IS WHAT REALLY WHAT DOES THOSE PROJECTIONS THAT I SHOWED YOU EARLIER AND SO WILL WE CONTINUALLY BE LOOKING AT THOSE PROJECTIONS TO SEE WHERE THOSE NEEDS ARE AND THE FACT THAT WE ARE TRENDING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AS PART OF THAT PROGRAM, OUR IN-HOUSE CREWS WILL BE RECONSTRUCTING RESIDENTIAL STREETS.

WE HAVE THREE CONCRETE REPAIR PROJECTS UNDERWAY.

THOSE TOTAL LIKE $11 MILLION OF ALL THE DIFFERENT THAT WE'RE DOING ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, THE ALLEY RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS, WE HAVE A GROUP OF ABOUT 13 ALLEYS THAT ARE PRIMARILY IN DISTRICT EIGHT THAT ARE GOING TO BE IN THIS FIRST SET OF ALLEYS THAT WE ARE

[02:25:02]

REDESIGNING, AND THEN WE WILL CONTINUE EACH YEAR TO HAVE A SET OF ALLEYS THAT WE'LL REDESIGN AND WE'LL SEND OUT TO CONTRACT, AND WE GENERALLY GROUP THOSE IN ABOUT 10 TO 12 ALLEYS THAT WE BID OUT AS A CONTRACT.

THE SOIL STABILIZATION, THAT'S THE [INAUDIBLE] PROCESS THAT'S CONTINUING ONGOING.

OUR PROCESS IS TYPICALLY IF WE'RE GOING TO DO REPAIRS ON AN ARTERIAL STREET, WE TRY TO GET OUT IN FRONT OF THAT AND DO THE STABILIZATION AND THE LIFTING WHERE THE JOINTS HAVE SEPARATED, LIFTING THOSE AND PUTTING THOSE TOGETHER BEFORE WE DO THE REPAIR PROJECTS, AND THEN THE VERY FIRST MISCELLANEOUS OR WHAT WE WOULD CALL THE LAST MILE PROJECT THAT WAS ACTUALLY COMPLETED.

IT ACTUALLY COMPLETED A LITTLE EARLIER BECAUSE THE CONTRACTOR THAT WAS DOING THAT CONTRACT WENT OUT OF BUSINESS, BUT THE BRIGHT SIDE OF THAT IS I THINK WE WERE ABLE TO HIRE SEVEN MEMBERS OF THAT CREW WHEN THAT CONTRACTOR DISBANDED HIS LOCAL OPERATIONS.

SO, THERE WAS A SILVER LINING BEHIND THAT BLACK CLOUD, BUT THE CITY COUNCIL REMEMBER THAT WE AWARDED THE MOST RECENT CONTRACT ON THE FIRST.

SO, HOPEFULLY THEY'LL PROBABLY BY THE TIME THEY EXECUTE THEIR PAPERWORK, EITHER LATE APRIL OR EARLY MAY, BE OUT AGAIN DOING THOSE WORKS, AND THAT'S WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO GO IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS, AND, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THE STREETS THAT HAVE THE ONE OR TWO PATCHES THAT WE MAY HAVE, WE MAY HAVE PASSED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, TRY TO GET THOSE KNOCKED OUT SO THAT WE'RE NOT COMING BACK AND REDOING THE ASPHALT PAVING ON A REPETITIVE BASIS AND THEN THERE WAS A SEPARATE ATTACHMENT THAT I PROVIDED TO YOU ALL, THAT'S THE LIST OF THE PROJECTS FOR THE 2023 THROUGH 2027.

WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE THE 2022 STREETS WE HAVE IDENTIFIED AND WE HAVE IDENTIFIED SOME OF THE ONES IN 2023 AND THOSE ARE ASTERISK ON THAT SHEET, BUT THOSE ARE NOT THE ENTIRE.

OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE WILL DO.

WE'RE STILL DEVELOPING AND WORKING ON THE LIST THERE, AND WE'LL TRY TO [INAUDIBLE] STAY A YEAR AHEAD. A LOT OF THAT'S GOING TO DEPEND UPON THE WATER AND SEWER LAND REPLACEMENT SCHEDULE BECAUSE WE COORDINATE AND TRY TO STAY CLOSELY TIED IN WITH THEM SO THAT WHEN THEY DO THOSE REPAIRS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO SLIDE IN RIGHT BEHIND THEM WITHIN SIX MONTHS OR SO. SO, THERE'S NOT A LONG TIME BETWEEN THE UTILITY REPLACEMENT, AND SO THAT INVOLVES A LOT OF COORDINATION. SO, THAT'S WHY WE'RE NOT AT THIS POINT READY TO PROJECT HOW THESE ARE THE 24, 25, 26, 27 PROJECTS, BUT WE HAVE THEM IDENTIFIED THE SIDEWALK REPLACEMENT PROGRAM, AND OBVIOUSLY THAT'S THE PROGRAM THAT TRANSFERRED FROM THE 5050 SHARE AND THAT'S THE ONE THAT TRANSFERRED FROM THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT.

WE WERE A LITTLE SLOW ON THE UPTAKE ON THAT, BUT WE HAVE PUT THE PROCESS IN PLACE WITH THE REVENUE RECOVERY TO GET ALL THOSE NOTIFICATIONS OUT.

WE SENT OUR FIRST NOTIFICATION OUT ON MARCH 3RD.

SO, WE'RE TRYING TO SEND THEM OUT IN GROUPS OF MAYBE 10 TO 15 AND MAYBE A WEEK OR SO.

SO, OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, WE WILL CLEAR OUR BACKLOG OF OUR REQUESTS, AND TYPICALLY WHAT WE FIND OUT IS HISTORICALLY IT'S BEEN ABOUT A 40 TO 50% HIT RATE ON THOSE. WHEN YOU SEND OUT TELL THE RESIDENTS THIS IS WHAT THE ESTIMATE IS AND THOSE THAT CHOOSE TO ACTUALLY PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM, AND OF COURSE, OBVIOUSLY, THE PROGRAM HAS THOSE ADDITIONAL DISCOUNTS NOW SO THAT TAKE RATE MAY BE A LOT HIGHER JUST BECAUSE A LOT OF THEM MAY QUALIFY FOR A LOT MORE OF THOSE DISCOUNTS.

WE HAVE DEVELOPED OUR OWN SEPARATE CONTRACT FOR THIS PROJECT AND ACTUALLY THE BIDS FOR THAT OPEN TOMORROW, AND SO IT SHOULD BE SCHEDULED UNLESS THERE'S SOME KIND OF UNUSUAL DELAY, IT SHOULD BE COMING TO COUNCIL THE FIRST MEETING IN APRIL, AND SO HOPEFULLY BY MAY WE WILL HAVE CONSTRUCTION STARTED WHERE WE'RE GOING TO START GOING IN AND BY THAT TIME, HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE ENOUGH REQUESTS THAT WE CAN JUST GIVE THEM A BIG LIST OF PROJECTS AND SAY HERE, GO TACKLE THEM.

THE ONES IN THE MEANTIME THAT HAVE BEEN MORE IMMEDIATE, WE HAVE HANDLED THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT DOES HAVE AN EXISTING CONTRACT THAT WE CAN PARTICIPATE ON AND ALSO SOME OF THE ONES WHEN OUR CONTRACTORS THAT WORK IN A NEIGHBORHOOD, IF WE SEE SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD DEEM A HAZARD, WE'RE TAKING CARE OF THAT.

TRYING TO ADDRESS THESE HAZARDS.

SO, YOU DON'T RUN INTO ADA ISSUES AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS, BUT WE'RE GENERALLY TRYING TO CONFINE THOSE TO THE ONES THAT ARE TRUE HAZARDS.

WE ARE CURRENTLY EVALUATING ALL OUR ARTERIAL INDUSTRIAL CONNECTOR, STREET SIDEWALKS.

HISTORICALLY WHEN WE'VE DONE OUR PCI/OCI EVALUATION, WE'VE ONLY LOOKED AT THE STREETS.

SO, WE'RE TRYING TO GO BACK NOW AND START TO LOOK AT OUR SIDEWALKS AND TRY TO GET A BETTER HANDLE ON WHAT THE NEEDS ARE CITYWIDE ON SIDEWALKS, AND SO BUT WITH OBVIOUSLY THAT MUCH SIDEWALKS AS THERE IS, THERE'S MORE THAN 400 MILES OF SIDEWALK IN PLACE, AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE CITY STAFF IN CONJUNCTION WITH GISD WILL CONTINUE TO DETERMINE NEW SIDEWALK NEEDS, BUT THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT IS THE ONE THAT HANDLES THE REQUESTS FOR NEW SIDEWALKS WHERE SIDEWALKS DON'T EXIST, AND THAT'S PART OF THE PROCESS THAT THEY'RE EVALUATING ON A REGULAR BASIS.

THE [INAUDIBLE] VALLEY PROGRAM, OF COURSE, THAT'S THE PROGRAM THAT WAS PASSED IN THE 2019 BOND ELECTION, WHERE WE'VE GOT ROUGHLY 350,000 A YEAR FOR SEVEN YEARS, AND THAT ALLOWS

[02:30:07]

FOR A LITTLE OVER FOUR MILES OF ALLEYS, BUT NOW WE'RE FOCUSING ON THE ALLEYS WITH MULTIPLE GRADING REQUESTS AND WE'VE LOOKED AT SINCE OCTOBER 1ST, 2014, THE NUMBER OF SEGMENTS.

OBVIOUSLY, WE HAVE 138 WITH TIMES THAT WE'VE GRADED THREE OR MORE TIMES AND THEN SO FORTH . SO, COORDINATING WITH THE WATER DEPARTMENT TO PAY THE VARIOUS PROJECTS, THE ONES THAT WE ALREADY HAVE IN PLACE, THE CELESTE VISTA, THE CLIFF RITA AND THE LEWIS RANDOLPH ARE IN PLACE, AND THEN WE WILL TRY TO TAKE CARE OF DRAINAGE PROBLEMS WHEN WE ADDRESS THAT, BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO ALWAYS IF LET'S SAY THERE'S AN ISSUE WITH RUTTING UP TO A CERTAIN POINT, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO AND TAKE PLACE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ALLEY IF THERE REALLY ISN'T A NEED, PAVE THE ENTIRE ALLEY, IF THERE'S NOT A NEED, IF THERE'S NOT A VEHICULAR NEED FOR THAT, AND HERE'S KIND OF A SCHEDULE OF WHAT PROJECTS WE'VE GOT IN PLACE.

THE CELESTE VISTA THAT'S BIDDING.

SO, WE ANTICIPATE THAT CONSTRUCTION WILL START IN MAY.

THE CLIFF RITA ACTUALLY WAS PART OF A WATER DEPARTMENT PROJECT.

SO, THAT'S ALREADY BEEN BID.

THEY'RE WORKING ON THE UTILITIES NOW.

SO, I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THE PAVING WILL TAKE PLACE, BUT PROBABLY WITHIN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS THAT ONE WILL BE PAVED.

THE LEWIS RANDOLPH IS A SEPARATE CONTRACT.

IT'S UNDER DESIGN. IT'S SPRING OF 2023, AND ALL THESE OTHER ONES, THE OTHER REMAINING ONES ON THERE, THEY ARE A PROJECT WE HAVE CURRENTLY UNDER DESIGN IN HOUSE WITH A CONSULTANT AND WE WILL BE BIDDING THOSE OUT ONCE WE GET THE PLANS.

LIKE I SAID, RIGHT NOW WE'RE AT THE 30% DESIGN PLAN.

SO, WE ANTICIPATE THAT WE WILL HAVE A GROUP OF ALLEYS ABOUT THAT NUMBER THAT WE'LL BE TRYING TO TACKLE ON AN ANNUAL BASIS OF PAVING SOME OF THESE ALLEYS, BUT OBVIOUSLY WITH 94 MILES OF ALLEYS AND ONLY BEING ABLE TO PAVE ABOUT FOUR, I MEAN, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET TO ALL OF THEM, BUT WE'RE TRYING AS BEST WE CAN TO DETERMINE THOSE THAT ARE IN THE WORST CONDITION AND THOSE THAT HAVE UTILITY THAT WE CAN COORDINATE FROM A UTILITY BASIS, AND THIS LIST I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS IN ANY DETAIL, BUT I JUST WANT TO PROVIDE YOU THE LIST OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE COMPLETED IN THE LAST YEAR, AND THEN OBVIOUSLY THE OVERLAYS, AND THEN THIS IS THE PROJECTS THAT WERE GOING ON IN THE ALLEY RECONSTRUCTION.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE [INAUDIBLE], ALL THOSE ONES IN THE REDWOOD, OAKWOOD, ALL THOSE WOOD STREETS IN DISTRICT FOUR.

THEY'RE ALL PART OF A CONTRACT THAT'S CURRENTLY UNDER PLACE.

SO, WITHIN THE NEXT 4 TO 5 MONTHS, ALL OF THOSE SHOULD BE COMPLETED, AND THEN THE ONES IN DISTRICT TWO ARE PART OF THAT AS WELL.

SO, THE ONES THAT ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION, THEY'RE ALREADY UNDER CONTRACT.

THE REMAINING ONES IN DISTRICT, THERE'S A FEW IN DISTRICT EIGHT THAT ARE PART OF THIS, THE PROJECT THAT REPLACES THE KINGSBRIDGE CHANNEL, AND THEN THE REMAINDER OF THEM ARE UNDER DESIGN, AND WE'RE LOOKING FOR A FALL PROBABLY A FALL BID DATE ON THOSE ON THOSE ALLEYS. STREET PROJECTS OBVIOUSLY WE'VE GOT GOING.

I JUST [INAUDIBLE] AND THIS IS KIND OF WHAT I'VE TALKED ABOUT FOR CARROLL AND MAYFIELD.

THOSE ARE PROJECTS WHERE WE'VE DONE WE'VE WE'VE PROVIDED MOST OF THE PAVING MONEY, BUT THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT IS THEY STARTED OUT AS WATER AND SEWER MAIN REPLACEMENT PROJECTS THAT WE CONTRIBUTED TO.

SO, THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT IS MANAGING THOSE, BUT THESE ONES, THE ONES THAT WE HAVE WITH OUR WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THOSE TWO ASTERISKS, THESE ARE THE ONES THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE TAKING CARE OF WITH OUR IN-HOUSE CREWS THIS YEAR, AND THEN OUR OBVIOUSLY, YOU SEE OUR ARTERIAL REPAIRS, THE DALLAS COUNTY PROJECT, SHALLOW DUCK CREEK AND OATS ARE ON THAT LIST AND THEY'RE SUDDENLY UNDERWAY, AND THEN WITH OUR PAVING PROCESS, AS I SAID, WE JUST WE JUST STARTED PAVING AGAIN.

ONE OF THE THINGS WE'VE BEEN TAKING CARE OF SOME BIG PROJECTS WE ACTUALLY WENT OUT TO PAVE THE ROAD THAT GOES OUT TO THE CREEK PLANT THAT THE WATER DEPARTMENT IS THE TREATMENT PLANT DOWN THERE IN SUNNYVALE.

WE ALSO WE JUST FINISHED COMPLETED BEN DAVIS.

I UNDERSTAND IT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD.

THEY'VE GOT IT TAKEN CARE OF.

WE HAD TO MILL AND OVERLAY, AND THEN, OF COURSE, WE'RE WE'RE TAKING CARE OF THE WE REDID OBVIOUSLY WHEN THE TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT REDID THEIR SHOP, THEY DIDN'T HAVE MONEY FOR PAVING . SO, WE WE MILLED AND OVERLAID AND WE'RE RELAYING ALDER PARK, THEIR ASPHALT PART OF THE PARKING LOTS. I THINK ON ONE OF THE OTHER SIDE IT'S GOT A LOT OF CONCRETE, BUT WE'RE TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF THAT FOR THEM TO HELP THEM OUT AND KIND OF HELP JUST, YOU KNOW, KIND OF SOFTEN THE COST OF THAT OF THAT RECONSTRUCTION, OF THAT BUILDING.

THIS IS JUST A LIST OF SOME BIGGER PROJECTS.

BOB TOWN ROAD. WE'VE WE'VE DONE THIS PAST YEAR, CENTERVILLE ROAD, WE'VE DONE THAT IN VARIOUS PHASES. THAT WAS THE SECOND [INAUDIBLE] SHOW YOU.

WE DID THE BIG PROJECT THERE IN 2017, AND SO WE COME BACK FIVE YEARS LATER, AND REALISTICALLY, IF YOU'RE DOING THESE PROJECTS WELL ON AN ARTERIAL, YOU MIGHT AFTER YOU DO A BIG CLEANUP PROJECT, THEN YOU PROBABLY NEED TO COME BACK ABOUT EVERY FIVE YEARS OR SO AND JUST KNOCK OUT BECAUSE SPOT PACES ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO FAIL, AND SO WE TRY TO DO THAT.

FIRST STREET, THE LITTLE GAP YOU SEE, AND THERE'S ACTUALLY A PROJECT THAT THE THAT THE WATER DEPARTMENT IS IS DOING.

SO, THEY'RE PUTTING A WATERLINE IN THERE.

SO, THEY'RE GOING TO REPLACE THE PAVEMENT AS PART OF THAT, JUST NOT ONE WE'RE DOING.

FOREST LANE, WE'VE JUST RECENTLY COMPLETED.

ROSEHILL ROAD.

THAT CREEK IS WE'VE DONE THE LIFTING AND THAT ONE IS ACTUALLY GOING TO THAT ONE STARTED

[02:35:04]

TODAY THAT WE'RE DOING THE PAVEMENT REPAIRS ON DUCK CREEK, DUCK CREEK ROAD, AND THAT IS THE ONE THAT THE COUNTY'S DOING THE 50% COST SHARING WITH US MILLER ROAD.

WE KNOW THAT LITTLE SECTION BETWEEN SATURN AND OF COURSE, WE'VE HAD THE TEXTILE PROJECT, BUT THE PORTION BETWEEN SATURN AND GLENBROOK WAS BID, BUT IT'S GOING TO ACTUALLY ENGINEERING'S LOOKING TO PROBABLY HAVING TO REBID THAT ONE BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO ADD SOME TURN LANES THERE AT GLEN TRYING TO ADD A TURN LANE THERE AT GLENBROOK TO TAKE CARE OF SOME OF THAT ISSUE WITH WITH THE THRU LANE OBVIOUSLY GETTING BLOCKED UP BECAUSE OF THE BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF A TURN LANE THERE ON THE EAST WEST TRAFFIC AND OATS ROAD IS ANOTHER ONE OF THE COUNTY PROJECTS IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

SHILOH IS ANOTHER ONE OF THE COUNTY PROJECTS THAT'S CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION, AND THEN AVENUE D, THAT'S ONE THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO SOMETIME LATER THIS YEAR, AND THIS IS JUST A SUMMARY OF THE DIFFERENT PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE GOING ON.

SOME OF THOSE HAVE BEEN COMPLETED, THE ALLEY REPLACEMENT PROJECT.

IT'S ACTUALLY FOUR OF THOSE.

ACTUALLY, THAT'S THE ONE. THAT'S ALL THE ONES IN YOUR DISTRICT.

COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS AND WE'VE COMPLETED FOUR OF THEM TO DATE.

SO, WE'RE WE'RE CONTINUING TO WORK ON THAT.

AS I INDICATED, THE LAST MILE PROJECT IS THE ONE THAT WAS COMPLETED.

AND WE AND NOW WE HAVE DONE THE SECOND ONE, THE MISCELLANEOUS CONCRETE REPAIR PROGRAM.

THAT'S THE ONE THAT'S ACTUALLY HANDLING THE REPAIRS ON SHILOH THAT WAS BEING DONE UNDER THAT CONTRACT. THE LIFTING SERVICES WE TRY TO DO 1,000,000 MILLION A YEAR ON LIFTING, AND ACTUALLY THAT WAS THE OLD CONTRACT, THE NEW CONTRACT ACTUALLY, WE UPPED IT TO $2 MILLION THAT WE'RE SPENDING A YEAR ON THAT LIFTING SERVICE CONTRACT, THE ARTERIAL PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE. THAT'S ONE WHERE WE ACTUALLY PIGGYBACKED OFF PLANO AND WAS ABLE TO DO ONE YEAR WHEN WHEN THEY WERE TERMINATING THE CONTRACT AND THEIR CONTRACTOR WAS NO LONGER WORKING ON THAT. WE WERE ABLE TO JUMP IN AND PIGGYBACK OFF THAT AND DO ABOUT TWO AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF WORK WITH THAT CONTRACTOR, AND THAT'S THE SAME CONTRACTOR THAT GOT THE SHILOH ROAD PROJECT AND THEY'RE DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB ON THAT, AND THEN THE ARTERIAL REPAIR PROGRAM, THAT'S ONE THAT WE'VE GOT THAT WE AWARDED AND WE'VE GOT FOUR UNDERWAY AND WE'VE GOT FOUR CONTRACTS ON THAT, AND THEN THE LAST THING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT REALLY IS THE RAILROAD PROGRAM.

WE HAVE MADE AN EFFORT TO TAKE A LOOK AND TRY AND IMPROVE THE RAILROAD CROSSINGS.

THE FIRST STREET SPUR LINE WAS ONE WHERE WE JUST TOOK OUT OLD PAVEMENT AND PUT NEW PAVEMENT IN BUCKINGHAM ON HOPEFULLY A Y'ALL HAVE DRIVEN ON BUCKINGHAM AND SAW HOW MUCH A DRASTIC IMPROVEMENT THAT CROSSING IS OVER WHAT IT WAS BEFORE.

FOREST LANE THAT ONE WILL PROBABLY WE TALKED TO THE CONTRACTOR THAT'LL PROBABLY START IN APRIL THE ONE AT SHILOH ROAD.

THAT ONE DOESN'T REQUIRE REPLACING THE TRACK IS JUST REPLACING THE PAVEMENT ON THE APPROACH, AND THEN FOREST LANE NEAR KIRBY THAT'S THE DIAGONAL CROSSING UNDERNEATH THE DART TRACK THAT WILL.

WE'LL PROBABLY START IN MAY.

WE PROBABLY WON'T HAVE THEM BOTH UNDERWAY AT THE SAME TIME, AND THEN KINGSLEY ROAD NEAR NATIONAL. THAT'S WHEN WHERE WE HAVE WE HAVE SENT THE WE HAVE ACTUALLY APPROVED THE AGREEMENT. WE SENT THE PAYMENT TO THEM, AND SO WE'RE WORKING OUT ON THE SCHEDULE WITH KCS TO GET THAT ONE REPLACED.

KINGSLEY ROAD NEAR SHILOH.

THAT'S THAT ONE HASN'T STARTED.

THAT ONE HASN'T STARTED YET, AND THEN MILLER ROAD, WEST OF SHILOH, ONCE AGAIN, THAT'S THE REPLACEMENT HAS BEEN APPROVED.

THE AGREEMENT IS APPROVED, BUT THAT ONE IS ONCE AGAIN, IS JUST IT'S MORE OF A FUNDING ISSUE WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE, BECAUSE MILLER PARK IS JUST REPLACING MILLER PARK SIMILAR [INAUDIBLE] WE'RE TAKEN OUT TO OLD SPUR LINES THAT ARE NO LONGER USED AND REPLACING THAT WITH CONCRETE PAVEMENT, AND THEN THE JUPITER ONE WHICH A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT. WE ACTUALLY MET WITH WE MET WITH A REPRESENTATIVE FROM DG&O ON LAST WEEK. LAST WEDNESDAY.

LAST THURSDAY. I'M SORRY.

AND THEY ARE THEY ARE EXTREMELY THIS GENTLEMAN IS EXTREMELY HELPFUL, AND WE HAVE TENTATIVELY, IF THEY CAN GET ALL THE MATERIALS, WE HAVE TENTATIVELY SET A DATE FOR LABOR DAY. NOT LABOR DAY, MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND TO DO THE REPAIR OF THE TRACK, AND THAT'S THE WORST, OBVIOUSLY, ON THE SOUTHBOUND DIRECTION WHERE THE TRACK HAS DROPPED.

THIS WILL TAKE CARE OF ALL THE TRACK.

IT WON'T FIX THE PAVEMENT AND WE'LL HAVE TO GO BACK LATER AND DO ALL THE PAVEMENT BIT OFF THE PAVEMENT BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE A COUPLE OF HUNDRED FEET ON EITHER SIDE OF THE TRACK TO GET THE APPROACH SPEEDS TO MEET THE DESIGN SPEED OF THE APPROACH, BUT WE THINK OVER IF THEY INDICATED AND WE TRIED TO SCHEDULE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND BECAUSE IF THEN IF IT DRAGS INTO MONDAY, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A BIG DEAL.

WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW LONG IT'LL TAKE, BUT THAT'S CONTINGENT ON THEM BEING ABLE, WORKING WITH THEIR CONTRACTOR TO GET ALL THE MATERIALS THEY CAN TO DO THAT PROJECT, AND SO THAT ONES, AND THEN THE OTHER THING THAT WE'RE DOING IS WE ARE HAVING WE HAVE A CONSULTANT LOOKING AT ALL THE REST OF THE CROSSINGS IN THE CITY.

OUR GOAL IS TO TAKE THAT INFORMATION AND TO DEVELOP A FUNDING, I MEAN, A PRIORITY LIST AND FUNDING INFORMATION FOR ALL THOSE THINGS AND BE ABLE TO BRING THEM BACK TO AND WORK WITH THE TWO RAILROADS AND BRING IT BACK TO COUNCIL AND SAY, THIS IS THE ORDER THAT WE NEED TO WORK TO APPROVE THEM.

AND THEN WE COULD TRY TO START LOOKING AT A, YOU KNOW, A SCHEDULE FOR TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, SCHEDULING THOSE ON MULTIPLE YEARS AND MAYBE ON A FUTURE BOND PROGRAM THAT WE COULD FUND.

[02:40:02]

THOSE WERE THE COST OF THOSE REPAIRS.

THIS IS WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT EARLIER.

AS YOU SEE, AS WE'RE GOING FORWARD, WE'RE PROJECTING AS WE GET INTO THE OUT YEARS THAT THE NUMBER OF ARTERIAL PROJECTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING IN FUTURE YEARS WILL NOT, WILL DECREASE, BUT THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS WILL INCREASE, AND SO THE TOTAL NUMBER OF PROJECTS WILL TEND TO INCREASE BECAUSE THE ARTERIAL ONES OBVIOUSLY ARE MUCH LARGER AND MUCH BIGGER, AND ONE ARTERIAL PROJECT WILL TAKE WOULD TAKE THE FUNDING THAT YOU MIGHT NEED TEN RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS.

SO, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AS WHERE WE SEE THAT FUNDING IN THE PROJECT, THE NUMBER OF PROJECTS GOING AS WE HEAD FOR INTO THE FUTURE YEARS.

WITH THAT, I DIDN'T KNOW IF IF THERE WAS ANY QUESTIONS ON THE LIST THAT I SUBMITTED TO YOU, LIKE, SAY, ON THAT LIST THAT I SUBMITTED.

IF YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS, CERTAINLY FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME IF YOU'VE GOT ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT. THE ONES THAT I'D SAY, THE ONES I KNOW THAT I ASTERISKED, THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT WE DEFINITELY HAVE UNDERTAKEN ON OUR SCHEDULE FOR 2023.

AND THEN WE'LL BE WORKING AS WE GET THOSE SCHEDULED OUT AND WE GET UPDATES, WE CAN BRING THOSE BACK TO COUNCIL.

COUNCILOR SMITH. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND STEVE.

GREAT JOB. WE'VE BEEN WATCHING THIS SINCE I CAME ON IN 2017 AND THE COUNCIL HAD ACTED RIGHT BEFORE I GOT HERE WITH WITH SCOTT AND RICH AND DAVID GIBBONS.

I KNOW WE'RE ALL BIG PROPONENTS OF GETTING THAT FUNDING GOING AND THEY GOT IT GOING THAT YEAR, SO I COULD TAKE CREDIT FOR IT MY FIRST YEAR IN OFFICE.

I CAN'T THANK YOU GUYS ENOUGH FOR THAT TIMING, AND ALSO YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN PRETTY AMAZING THIS YEAR. WE'VE HAD SOME ADA ISSUES IN DISTRICT EIGHT THAT YOU GUYS HAVE KNOCKED OUT VERY QUICKLY AND EASILY.

SO, VERY MUCH APPRECIATED FOR THOSE RESIDENTS.

MY ONLY QUESTION IS, I KNOW THAT A YEAR OR TWO AGO WE STARTED SHIFTING FROM A CONDITION INDEX TO PCI TO AN OCI.

YES. ARE WE SEEING ANY MAJOR SHIFTS IN THE SCORING THAT WOULD THROW OFF THE PROGRESS THAT YOU'RE SHOWING US AND IS OUR GOAL AS A COUNCIL THAT WE SET BASED ON THE PCI STILL REALISTIC WITH AN OCI? I BELIEVE IT IS.

WHAT THE PRIMARY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PCI AND THE OCI IS THE OCI TAKES INTO ACCOUNT QUOTE UNQUOTE RIDEABILITY.

SO, A LOT OF TIMES YOU MIGHT HAVE A STREET THAT MAY HAVE EVERY EVERY SLAB CRACKED WHERE YOU CONSIDER THAT YOU NEED TO REPLACE IT.

BUT IF THEY'RE NOT DISPLACED, IT DOESN'T RIDE PARTICULARLY BADLY.

SO, THE ONES THAT YOU MIGHT GO OUT THERE AND SAY, WELL, THAT'S GOT A REAL LOW RATING.

WELL, THERE'S NOT A LOT OF DISJOINTMENT OF THE SLABS.

THEN THE OCI TAKES THAT INTO ACCOUNT.

SO, I THINK IT TENDS TO BALANCE OUT BECAUSE WHAT YOU SEE IS SOME OF THE ONES WHERE THERE MAY NOT MAY HAVE BEEN A HIGHER RATED STREET AND NOT HAVE AS MANY PATCHES, BUT IF THE SEVERITY OF THE PATCHES OR THE SEVERITY OF THE FAILURES IS GREATER THAN IT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE SEVERITY, IT REALLY TAKES INTO ACCOUNT KIND OF SEVERITY OF FAILURES IN ADDITION TO THE NUMBER OF FAILURES.

SO, I THINK FOR FOR WHAT YOU HAVE, YOU MAY HAVE THAT ARE WORSE.

IT TENDS TO BALANCE OUT, AND WE'RE NOT WE DIDN'T SEE A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE WHEN WE WENT FROM PCI TO OCI.

OKAY, AND YOU SAID YOU GUYS WERE LOOKING AT SIDEWALKS.

ARE YOU SCORING THEM IN A SIMILAR MANNER OR DO THEY ROLL INTO THE STREET SCORE OR HOW DOES THAT WORK? WELL, RIGHT NOW WE HAVEN'T BECAUSE THE SYSTEM DOESN'T, AND WE'RE LOOKING AT HOW WE CAN MODIFY BECAUSE THE SYSTEM DOESN'T ALLOW FOR THE SIDEWALKS.

IT LOOKS AT THE STREET.

IT DOESN'T DOESN'T CONSIDER THE SIDEWALKS AS PART OF THE RATING.

SO, AND WE HAVE NEVER REALLY TECHNICALLY, QUOTE UNQUOTE, DEVELOPED A IN A OCI TYPE RATING FOR SIDEWALKS.

SO, WHAT WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO DO IS AS AS THEY'RE INSPECTING JUST TO NOT SO MUCH DEVELOP A NUMBER RATING BUT TO LOOK AT KIND OF WHERE THEIR SEVERITY ISSUES WHETHER SIDEWALK ISSUES AND TRY TO FOCUS ON HEY, THIS STREET'S GOT A LOT OF SIDEWALK ISSUES AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT. I DON'T KNOW WE'VE COME OUT WITH AN ACTUAL WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO ATTRIBUTE THAT, BUT WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE NOTES.

THERE'S PLACES FOR NOTES.

WE'RE MAKING NOTES WHERE THERE'S SIDEWALK ISSUES THAT COULD PERHAPS IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT TWO EQUALLY FAILED STREETS, IF ONE OF THEM, YOU KNOW, IF THE SIDEWALKS ARE WORSE AND MAYBE THAT MAKES THAT MORE OF A HIGHER PRIORITY TO REPLACE, IT'S KIND OF A THAT SITUATION WHERE WE'RE REALLY IT'S ALMOST LIKE A POOR, POOR, GOOD FARE, YOU KNOW, THAT KIND OF SYSTEM. NOT SO MUCH A NUMERICAL NUMBER.

OKAY, ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. VERY GOOD.

ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS.

COUNCILMEMBER AUBIN.

THANK YOU, MAYOR, AND I'LL ECHO COUNCILMEMBER SMITH ON HOW PLEASED I AM WITH HOW FAR WE'VE COME. IT'S SIX, SIX YEARS SINCE I FIRST GOT ON COUNCIL AND THE STREET SYSTEM WAS VERY DIFFERENT BACK THEN.

SO, SEEING THE NUMBERS OF OF LANE MILES THAT HAVE BEEN REPAIRED, I MEAN, THAT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU ADD WHEN YOU START ADDING THOSE NUMBERS TOGETHER AND IT'S SOMETHING LIKE

[02:45:01]

20% AND I DON'T REALLY GET I.

WE GET OCCASIONAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT STREETS NOW, AND I TEND TO GET MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT STREET CONSTRUCTION THAN I DO ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE STREETS, WHICH IS A GREAT THING.

AND SO I LOOK FORWARD TO A LOT OF THIS STUFF, AND I APPRECIATE THE WORK YOU'VE BEEN DOING.

I SEE THAT CAROLYN DRIVE IS LISTED BUT WITHIN WITH A NON SPECIFIC DATE.

DO WE KNOW WHEN THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN? THEY KIND OF GET LOST IN THE SHUFFLE OF A WATER DEPARTMENT.

THEY DID THE WATER DEPARTMENT PROJECT AT THE END OF THE YEAR.

TALKING WITH OUR SURVEY GUYS, WE THINK WE'RE LOOKING AT MAY TO JUNE PROBABLY WOULD BE THE START DATE DEPENDING UPON WHEN THEY CAN.

YOU KNOW, REALLY IT'S GOING TO DEPEND UPON THE TWO OR THREE THAT WE HAVE IN THE PIPELINE IN FRONT OF IT WHEN THEY GET DONE, BUT WE'VE KIND OF TARGETED THAT AND ACCELERATED THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT ONE'S BECAUSE WE HAVE STARTED ALL WE'VE STARTED ALL THE GRADE, THE GRADE SURVEYING AND WHATEVER.

SO, THE DESIGN SHOULD BE COMPLETED WITHIN A MONTH OR SO, AND SO REALLY IT'S GOING TO BE A MATTER OF THEN TRYING TO FIT THAT IN THE OTHER SCHEDULE, BUT WE'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT A MAY, JUNE ISH THAT, THAT WINDOW.

OK. I WOULD APPRECIATE US, AS, YOU KNOW, GETTING THAT ONE DONE AS THOSE FOLKS HAVE WAITED A LONG TIME AND I MIGHT HAVE TOLD THEM A FEW YEARS AGO THAT I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO GET DONE AT THE SAME TIME AS THE WATER PROJECT, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THEY HAVE A REALLY NICE, BEAUTIFUL TWO FOOT WIDE STRIP OF CONCRETE THAT GOES ALL THE WAY UP THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BAD STREET.

WE TALKED ABOUT TRYING IN THESE PROJECTS, TRYING TO COORDINATE WITH THE WATER DEPARTMENT, AND WE DON'T LIKE YEAH, WE GENERALLY LIKE TO BE ABLE TO COME IN THERE WITHIN A FEW MONTHS AFTER THEY'VE DONE THEIR WORK, AND OF COURSE SOME OF THEM THEN WE'LL DO CONTRACT WORK, WE WILL JOINTLY DO BOTH OF THEM, BUT WE, WE DON'T WANT TO, WE DON'T WANT TO BECAUSE GENERALLY WHEN WE'LL, WE WILL LET THEM PUT UNREINFORCED CONCRETE IN THERE BECAUSE WE'RE JUST GOING TO PULL IT OUT IN A FEW MONTHS AND IT'S ACTUALLY CHEAPER TO PROBABLY PUT THAT IN AND TO PUT ASPHALT, BUT YEAH, SOMETIMES THERE IS A DRAG AND WE TRY, WE TRY TO LIMIT THAT TO 2 TO 3 MONTHS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, IN THIS CASE, IT'S BEEN A LOT, BUT I GUESS IT'S JUST THE WAY THEIR SCHEDULE HITS SOMETIMES WE DO GET THOSE PROJECTS THAT TAKE MORE THAN A FEW MONTHS TO GET AROUND TO.

I MEAN, THIS IS THE WELL THAT THEY'RE DOING.

THEY'RE GETTING A LOT OF THEIR PROJECTS DONE.

SO, I APPRECIATE THAT. AND WE DO WE DO TRY TO COORDINATE VERY CLOSELY WITH THE WATER DEPARTMENT TO MAKE SURE WE SCHEDULE THOSE.

I GET IT. I APPRECIATE IT.

THERE ARE A LOT OF STREETS. MOST OF THE STREETS OVER IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD GET FIXED WHEN THEY DID THE PRESSURE PLANE PROJECT A FEW YEARS AGO.

SO, IT WAS THE ONE STREET THAT WASN'T DONE, AND THEY I THINK THEY KIND OF FELT A LITTLE BIT LEFT OUT, RIGHTFULLY SO, AND SO IT'S A MATTER OF TRYING TO MAKE SURE THEY GET THE LOVE TO. SO, WE HAD WE HAVE MADE THAT A PRIORITY TO TRY TO GET THAT TRY TO GET THAT STARTED BY THE FIRST OF THE SUMMER.

I APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE.

THE GOOD WORK FOR THE CITY REALLY CANNOT BE THANKFUL ENOUGH.

WE'VE COME A REALLY A VERY, VERY LONG WAY IN THE LAST FEW YEARS.

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU, WHEN I GO TO CONFERENCES AND I'VE TALKED TO PEOPLE THAT WERE PRETTY MUCH THE ENVY IS LIKE WHEN I TELL SOMEONE WAS LIKE, WELL, WHAT'S YOUR BUDGET? AND THE STREET DEPARTMENT IS LIKE 32 MILLION, SAYS, NO, NOT YOUR BOND PROGRAM MONEY.

WHAT'S YOUR WHAT'S YOUR STREET DEPARTMENT? NO THAT IS A STREET DEPARTMENT. IT'S LIKE 32 MILLION, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST LIKE SHOCKED BECAUSE GENERALLY THEIRS IS IN THE FEW MILLION.

YOU KNOW, THIS THE LADY THAT I WAS TALKING TO, SHE JUST WENT TO WORK FOR RICHARDSON.

SHE WAS LIKE SHE SAID SHE WAS TELLING HER COLLEAGUES, TELL THEM HOW MUCH MONEY YOU GOT IN YOUR DEPARTMENT. I THINK.

WHAT? A LOT. YEAH, AND WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE.

I SAY WITH US HAVING THAT CONCRETE PAVING MACHINE, WE'RE MORE LIKE A CONTRACTOR.

I DON'T KNOW OF ANY OTHER CITY THAT DOES THAT IN HOUSE.

NO, IT'S BEEN GREAT, AND WHEN YOU ADD IN ALL THE OTHER MONEY THAT'S GOING INTO THE STREETS FROM OTHER PROJECTS THAT ARE ACTUALLY OUTSIDE OF YOUR BUDGET.

IT'S REALLY IT'S A MASSIVE UNDERTAKING, AND REALLY KUDOS TO YOU AND TO STAFF IN THE STREET DEPARTMENT, BUT STAFF ALL ACROSS THE CITY, IT'S BEEN IT'S BEEN GREAT.

I APPRECIATE IT, AND I THINK WE'RE IN MARCH.

THIS MAY BE THE LAST ONE OF THESE UPDATES THAT I GET.

SO, I APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU STEVE.

COUNCILMEMBER MOORE.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. I WANT TO ECHO EVERYTHING THAT EVERYONE HAS SAID, BUT YOU'VE GOT TO BE THE MOST POPULAR GUY IN THE ENTIRE CITY, JUST BY THE VERY NATURE OF THE WORK THAT YOU DO, OKAY, WITH ME, I DIDN'T HEAR OR SEE ANYTHING AS IT RELATED TO THE ROSEHILL ROAD AROUND THE COUNTRY CLUB AND THEN BACK OUT TO THE LYONS.

IS THAT STREETS OR THAT ENGINEERING? THAT'S VERY THAT'S THAT VERY MAJOR, MASSIVE PROJECT.

IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S REALLY.

THE ONE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT THE ONE THAT'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION? THE BOB TOWN [INAUDIBLE] WELL, IT GOES ALL THE WAY OUT TO BOB TOWN.

[02:50:05]

BUT NOT THE ONE FOR BOB TOWN, THE ONE THAT REALLY COMES UP ROSEHILL RUNS ACROSS ROWLETT ROAD, THEN RUNS BACK INTO COUNTRY CLUB AND THEN RUNS OUT TO ROAN ROAD.

I THINK THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT, I BELIEVE.

YEAH, THAT IS AN ENGINEERING PROJECT.

OKAY, I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS THE STREETS OR AN ENGINEER.

OKAY, OKAY, ON THE MAJOR STREETS, WE'RE ONLY DOING SLAB WORK.

WE'RE NOT DOING RECONSTRUCTION OF ARTERIALS.

WE ONLY RECONSTRUCT RESIDENTIAL STREETS.

THAT LOOK LIKE AN INFRASTRUCTURE OR SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE.

OKAY, ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

OKAY, MR. MAYOR PRO TEM WILLIAMS. I SAY KUDOS TO YOU FOR TWO THINGS.

ONE, AND I TRY TO ERASE FROM MY MEMORY DISCUSSIONS IN THE SPARE ROOM ABOUT FUNDING STREETS. I TRY TO ERASE TRY TO ERASE THOSE DISCUSSION.

THE MAYOR AND I, WE HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING SOME OF THOSE WHO WE TRY TO YOU KNOW, WE COME A LONG WAYS. THAT'S ALL I'LL SAY.

I WANT TO I WANT TO COMMEND YOU ON THE PARTICULARLY ON THE WORK, BUT ON THE COMMUNICATION PIECE THAT HAS BEEN HUGE.

THE STREETS TALK, ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT, PEOPLE GETTING THEM BECAUSE I DON'T GET NEARLY AS MANY CALLS THAT I USED TO GET ABOUT STREETS.

YOU KNOW, I'M ABLE NOT TO DIRECT PEOPLE TO THE STREETS TALKS AND LIKE AND I ALSO APPRECIATE YOUR NOTIFICATIONS IF YOU'RE DOING PROJECTS IN THE DISTRICTS, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE ALWAYS SITTING OUT, YOUR TEAMS ALWAYS SENDING OUT THE EMAIL.

SO THE COMMUNICATION PIECE HAS BEEN HUGE.

THIRDLY, I THINK AT LEAST IN MY DISTRICT, YOU'VE CHANGED THE CULTURE, THE ATTITUDE AS IT RELATES TO OVERLAYS AS PART OF OVERLAYS.

THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, I HAD SUPER RESISTANCE WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, BUT YOU'VE USED THAT, I THINK, IN A SMART WAY, AND I'VE GOTTEN PROBABLY 99% POSITIVE FEEDBACK WHERE YOU WE HAVE USED ASPHALT OVERLAYS BUT IN GOING IN AND YOU AND YOU'VE BEEN VERY GOOD AT EXPLAINING TO ME WHY YOU MADE THAT CHOICE MOVING FORWARD, WHAT DO YOU WHERE DO YOU SEE THAT GOING AND HOW WOULD THAT FROM A BUDGETARY STANDPOINT, IN WHAT CASES YOU DECIDE TO USE AN OVERLAY AS OPPOSED TO TEARING UP A STREET AND REDOING CONCRETE.

CAN YOU TALK A BIT ABOUT WHAT DO YOU SEE THAT IN THE BIG PICTURE, THE SCHEME OF THINGS? WHEN WE CAME BACK A FEW YEARS AGO, WHEN WE REINSTITUTED THE OVERLAY PROGRAM, WE HAD, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT WAS 16, 17.

WE HAD NOT DONE OVERLAYS SINCE I HAD BEEN HERE SINCE 99 WHEN I HAD GOTTEN HERE.

PART OF THE REASON THERE WAS WE'VE JUST GOT THIS LARGE WINDOW WHERE WE'RE REBUILDING THE STREETS GENERALLY FROM 0 TO 20, AND WE'RE REPLACING AND WE'RE REPAIRING THE STREETS 70 AND ABOVE, BUT ONCE STREETS GOT PAST THIS DROP OFF POINT, THERE WAS JUST THERE WASN'T A TECHNIQUE IN PLACE. AND SO THE POINT OF THE OVERLAY IS TO TRY TO GET THOSE ONES IN THE MIDDLE THAT HAVE DECENT BASE AND ARE NOT JUST DON'T HAVE THAT ARE NOT WAVY, YOU KNOW, ROLLER COASTER TYPE STREETS AND GO IN THERE AND DO THE OVERLAY WHERE IT'S JUST PROBLEMS WITH SURFACES AND TO TRY TO EXTEND THE LIFE SO THAT AS WE'RE KNOCKING OUT THESE ONES IN THE ZEROS AND THE TWENTIES, THAT TEN, 15, 20 YEARS DOWN THE LINE, THEN THOSE STREETS AS THEY DETERIORATE, THEY'LL BE IN LINE TO BE REPLACED, AND WE THINK WE'LL ALWAYS HAVE A NEED FOR OVERLAYS THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO OVERLAY STREETS AS THOSE ONES, YOU KNOW, GET PAST THE POINT OF REPAIR, BUT THEY'RE NOT BAD ENOUGH TO REPLACE.

THERE'S THAT LITTLE MIDDLE, THAT MIDDLE AREA, AND THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT WE'RE TENDING TO OVERLAY, AND SO THAT'S THE PROCESS AND THAT'S THE PLAN.

SO, I THINK THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE A PLACE FOR OVERLAYS IN OUR PROGRAM GOING FORWARD.

RIGHT. RIGHT. WELL, I APPRECIATE YOU DOING THAT IN THAT OPTION, BECAUSE CONSTITUENTS ARE NO LONGER FEELING THAT THEY'RE BEING IGNORED.

YOU KNOW, YOU TELL THEM WHAT? NO, YOU CAN'T GET A COMPLETELY NEW STREET, BUT WE'RE DOING SOMETHING.

WE'RE WE'RE MAKING EFFORTS, AND SO I JUST I JUST WANT TO COMMEND YOU FOR COMING WITH THAT OPTION AND FOR DOING THAT, BECAUSE I TELL YOU, IT'S BEEN HUGE, AND ALSO SOME FOLKS IN ENGINEERING, IT HELPS WITH THE DRAINAGE ISSUE AND MANY STREETS I KNOW IN MY DISTRICT.

SO I JUST WANT TO COMMEND YOU FOR COMING UP WITH THAT OPTION FOR REINSTITUTING THAT, AND IT REALLY HAS HAD A POSITIVE IMPACT.

I KNOW IT HAS IN MY DISTRICT.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. ALSO, WE APPRECIATE THE COUNCIL ACCELERATING THE PURCHASE OF THAT NEW PAVER. WHEN OUR ONE WENT DOWN, WE WERE FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO PICK ONE UP THAT THEY HAD ON THE LOT TO LET US TO PICK IT UP, AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO NOT HAVE A SIGNIFICANT DELAY IN OUR PROGRAM AND WE'LL GET BACK ON ON TARGET AND HIT OUR HIT OUR TARGET NUMBERS FOR THIS YEAR AS WELL. VERY GOOD.

LOOKS LIKE WE'VE CLEARED THE QUEUE.

THANK YOU. STEVE AND I WILL ADDRESS MY COMMENTS TO ANY COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO STARTED

[02:55:04]

SERVING IN THE LATE 2020S FROM THOSE OF US WHO SERVED THROUGH THE TEENS AND IN THE EARLY 2020S. YOU'RE WELCOME, AND THAT INCLUDES ME.

YES. YES, IT DOES.

THANK YOU, STEVE. YOU'RE WELCOME.

YES. THOSE PEOPLE THAT START SERVING AROUND 2027, 2028, MAN, THEY'VE GOT IT MADE.

THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT 2013 LOOKED LIKE.

ALL RIGHT. THAT WAS OUR LAST VERBAL BRIEFING.

THAT MOVES US ON TO ITEM FIVE ANNOUNCED FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS.
