THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I'M JENNA COVINGTON'S I'M, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT. I'VE BEEN IN THAT ROLE FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NOW AND REALLY HONORED TO SERVE IN THAT CAPACITY. YOU WANNA INTRODUCE YOURSELF? GOOD EVENING, MARY COUNCILOR BILLY GEORGE I'M THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF WATER AND WASTEWATER OPERATIONS. APPRECIATE YOU LETTING US COME AND VISIT A LITTLE BIT ABOUT VERY GOOD. AND I'M GONNA ASK YOU IF YOU CAN PULL THAT MICROPHONE A LITTLE CLOSER TO YOU. THAT'D BE GREAT. ALRIGHT VERY GOOD. I'VE GOT A NUMBER OF ITEMS I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR RIGHT UP TOP. WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR APPOINTING TWO WONDERFUL DIRECTORS TO OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS. UH BOTH ARE WITH US TODAY. UM THEMSELVES, RIGHT? WE'VE GOT OUR CURRENT BOARD PRESIDENT JACK MAY SO DIRECTOR MAY AND PRESIDENT MAYBE IS WITH US AS WELL AS DIRECTOR. DOWN GORDON, WHO IS A PAST PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD, SO THANK YOU ALL FOR MAKING GOOD SELECTIONS THERE AND FOLKS THAT ARE SERVING THE REGION WITH THE GREAT SERVICE OF WATER ALSO WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT THAT YOU ALL OFFERED AS WE'VE GONE THROUGH SOME CHALLENGES OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS. AH WE HAD SOME SOME UNEXPECTED MAINTENANCE TO HAPPEN AND A DROUGHT THAT HAPPENED THIS SUMMER. AND IN BOTH OF THOSE CASES, THE CITY OF GARLAND HAS BEEN A VERY GOOD AT GETTING OUT OF THE WORD TO YOUR RESIDENTS TO HELP WITH GETTING WATER CONSERVATION MESSAGING OUT SO THAT WE CAN ALL MAKE THE BEST USE OF WATER THAT SAYS WITH THE PRESSURES TO RESOURCE THAT IT IS

[00:15:04]

WE PROVIDE DRINKING WATER THROUGH SIX WATER TREATMENT PLANTS, FOUR OF WHICH ARE AT ARE WILDLY COMPLEX. JUST UP THE ROAD . WE ALSO PROVIDE WASTEWATER AND SOLID WASTE SERVICES. HOWEVER THE CITY OF GARLAND HAS YOUR OWN FACILITIES FOR THOSE SERVICES. NEXT SLIDE. WE WERE FORMED BACK IN THE 19 FIFTIES, WHEN THE 10 ORIGINAL MEMBER CITIES CAME TOGETHER. THE CITY OF GARLAND WAS ONE OF THOSE CITIES THAT WAS ORIGINAL MEMBER CITY AND SAW THAT THERE WAS TREMENDOUS GROWTH COMING BACK AT THE TIME. WHEN WE WERE FORMED. I THINK GARLAND WAS AROUND 10,000 PEOPLE AND NOW IS UPWARDS OF 250,000. AND SO GARLAND, ALONG WITH NINE OTHER CITIES, APPROACH THE STATE LEGISLATURE AND THEY ARE QUOTED AS SAYING. WE DECIDED WE WERE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. WE COULDN'T DO IT SEPARATELY. AND SO THERE WAS AN UNDERSTANDING THAT IN ORDER TO PROVIDE FOR THE GROWTH THAT WAS COMING THAT WATER WAS AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT OF THAT. AND THE GROUP FORMED, UH, CAME TOGETHER APPROACH THE LEGISLATURE INFORMED NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT. WE BEGAN DELIVERING WATER IN THE FIFTIES AND IN THE DECADES THAT FOLLOWED AT THE REQUEST OF OTHER MEMBER CITIES TOOK ON WASTEWATER SERVICES IN SOLID WASTE SERVICES. WE WERE FORMED AT A TIME WHEN OUR VISION WAS REGIONAL SERVICE THROUGH UNITY MEETING OUR REGIONS NEEDS TODAY AND TOMORROW THAT VISION STILL HOLDS TRUE TODAY, AND AS WE LOOK AT THE WORK THAT WE DO WE LOOK TO LIVE OUT THAT VISION STATEMENT. WE DO THAT THROUGH ACCOMPLISHING FOUR DIFFERENT GOALS AROUND SERVICE, STEWARDSHIP, PARTNERSHIP AND PEOPLE SERVICES REALLY ABOUT PROVIDING SUPERIOR SERVICES BOTH TODAY AND TOMORROW. STEWARDSHIP AROUND RESPONSIBLY MANAGING PUBLIC RESOURCES WITH RESPONSIVENESS, EFFECTIVENESS AND EFFICIENCY AND PARTNERSHIPS , SUCH AS THE PARTNERSHIP THAT WE'VE GOT WITH THE CITY ARE MEMBER CITIES AS WELL AS CUSTOMER CITIES AND OTHER PERIOD TILL IT EAS AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS AND IT ALL HAPPENS THROUGH PEOPLE AND SO GO FOR IS AROUND PEOPLE BUILDING A TALENTED, COMPETENT AND COMMITTED TEAM. THERE ARE SO MANY WONDERFUL STORIES THAT WE COULD SHARE ABOUT NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT. THIS IS A QUICK SNAPSHOT OF A FEW OF THOSE IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT OUR WETLANDS OR THE JOHN BUNKER SANDS WETLAND CENTER DOWN IN CEDARVILLE THAT'S PICTURED ON THE TOP LEFT ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO SO. DIRECTOR GORDON SERVES ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH COMPONENT OF THAT, WHICH WAS JUST THIS YEAR AWARDED THE 2022 LEAD. UPHOLD CONSERVATION AWARD, WHICH IS THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS LAND STEWARDSHIP AWARD IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. SO THERE'S REALLY SOME FANTASTIC THINGS THAT HAPPENED DOWN AT THE WETLAND CENTER. AND ENCOURAGE YOU TO GET OUT THERE. IF YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY THAT IS AN EDUCATION CENTER THAT WAS FORMED WHEN WE CONSTRUCTED A THE LARGEST MAN MADE WETLANDS AND THE UNITED STATES FOR PROVIDING DRINKING WATER, SO WE'VE GOT AN 1800 ACRE WETLANDS THAT ACTUALLY POLISHES RETURN FLOWS OUT OF THE TRINITY RIVER BEFORE IT MOVES THEM BACK UP TO LIVE ON LAKE AS ADDITIONAL DRINKING WATER SUPPLY . SO A GREAT PLACE WHERE YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES CAN GO AND LEARN ABOUT CONSERVATION. ADDITIONALLY ANOTHER STORY AL HIGHLIGHT HERE IS THERE'S A GROUP OF OUR TEAMS TEAMMATES THAT WERE AWARDED. THEY COMPETED IN A COMPETITION AND ONE AT THE STATE LEVEL OF COMPETITION CALLED OPERATIONS CHALLENGE. SO THIS IS A COMPETITION WHERE WASTEWATER OPERATORS COME TOGETHER AND COMPETE ON VARIOUS THINGS THAT ARE RELEVANT FOR THE WORK THAT THEY DO. DAY IN AND DAY OUT. WE WERE HAPPY TO CHEER THEM ON AS THEY WON AT THE STATE LEVEL AND

[00:20:01]

CONSERVATIONS ARE REALLY IMPORTANT PART OF WATER SUPPLY. WILL YOU TALKED ABOUT THAT UP TOP AND WE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT REGULARLY WHEN YOU GIVE US A CHANCE. IT'S A CRITICAL STRATEGY FOR MAXIMIZING OUR SUPPLIES AND ACTUALLY SO FAR THROUGH THE CONSERVATION RESULTS THAT WE HAVE HAD WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DEFER ABOUT A BILLION DOLLARS IN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BY HAVING THE RESIDENTS THROUGHOUT THE NORTH TEXAS AREA USED WATER MORE WISELY. WE DO THIS THROUGH OUTREACH PROGRAM. ROOMS, BUT WE'VE WHAT HAS TO BE DONE IS TO CHANGE INDIVIDUAL RESIDENTS, BEHAVIORS AND HOW THEY USE WATER. AND SO THERE'S A TREMENDOUS EFFORT THAT GOES INTO EDUCATING PEOPLE ACROSS THE NORTH TEXAS WITH HOW TO USE WATER WISELY. WE DO THAT IN SCHOOLS THROUGH OUR WATER FOR OTTER PROGRAM. WE DO THAT FOR RESIDENTS THROUGH OUR WATER, MY YARD .ORG PROGRAM THAT WILL SEND YOU A TEXT MESSAGE TO INDICATE HOW MUCH WATER YOUR YARD NEEDS EACH WEEK BASED ON LOCAL LOCAL METEOROLOGICAL DATA, AND THEN WE'VE ALSO GOT CAMPAIGNS LOCALLY AND REGIONALLY WITH PIERRE ORGANS. IS ATIONS. WITH THAT ALTERNATE OVER TO BILLY, WHO WILL TALK THROUGH SOME MAJOR CAPITAL PROGRAM EFFORTS. THANK YOU, GENERAL. START RIGHT UP TOP WITH BOW DARK LAKE AND I WAS LIKE TRANSITION INTO THAT, JUST AS A SIDE NOTE THAT JOHN BUNKER STANDS WETLAND CENTER, WHICH SERVES OUR WETLANDS. THANK YOU FOR THE RECURRING CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE THE CITY OF GARLAND. THE PURCHASE EFFLUENT FROM YOUR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS THAT WE MAKE USE OF WE RECYCLE THAT WATER AND THEN WE VALUE AND APPRECIATE THAT LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP. DARK LAKE IS THE STATE'S NEWEST RESERVOIR. CERTAINLY THE NEWS, MAJOR WATER SUPPLY AND THE WATER DISTRICTS PORTFOLIO. IT IS UP JUST NORTHEAST OF THE CITY OF BONHAM IN FANNIN COUNTY, COVERING ABOUT 16,000 ACRES. IT HAS BEEN DECADES IN THE MAKING, AND SOON UH, IN FACT, AS EARLY AS NEXT YEAR, IT WILL BE REDUCING WATER FOR OUR REGION, SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. IT COMES WITH A FIRM YIELD OF ABOUT 82 MILLION GALLONS A DAY, UM, DURING A REPEAT OF THE DROUGHT OF RECORD THAT WE CAN RELY UPON ABOUT 70 FT DEEP WHEN IT'S FULL AT THE DEEPEST POINT TODAY, IT'S PROXIMATELY 40% FULL AND WE ARE WORKING FEVERISHLY TO FINISH UP THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT THAT WILL TREAT THE WATER OUT OF BOTH DARK LAKE. SO WE CAN BRING THAT ONLINE. BUT AT $1.6 BILLION PROJECT, THERE WAS A TIME IN OUR HISTORY WHEN CONVENTIONAL WISDOM NOT TOO LONG AGO, CONVENTIONAL WISDOM WAS THAT TO MEET GROWING REGIONAL DEMANDS AND NEEDS, WE WOULD HAVE TO BUILD A NEW RESERVOIR EVERY DECADE. THAT BILLION DOLLARS THAT JENNA REFERENCED A MOMENT AGO IS A DIRECT RESULT OF WATER CONSERVATION. WE HAVEN'T HAD TO DO THAT AS A REGION. UH CONSERVATION IS A WAY OF LIFE AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO MAKE STRIDES THERE, BUT WE WILL STILL NEED MAJOR WATER SUPPLIES TO AUGMENT THAT WATER SAVINGS TO MEET THE NEEDS. THE RESERVOIR IS MADE UP OF FIVE MAJOR PROJECT PROGRAMS, REALLY EVERYTHING FROM THE DAM ITSELF. IF YOU LOOK AT THE TOP OF THIS LINE, THE GREEN AREA IS A MITIGATION PRIMARY MITIGATION FOR THE RESERVOIR ITSELF. WHEN YOU UP OR STREAM IN A RIVER WE MITIGATE FOR THE LOSS OF THE HABITAT THROUGH ESTABLISHING NEW HABITAT. HABITAT COMES FROM AREAS THAT WERE ONCE IN AGRICULTURAL USE AND PRODUCTION THAT WE RETURN AND RESTORE BACK TO A NATURAL STATE. UP AT THE TOP THAT GREEN RANCH ABOUT 15,000 ACRES FORMER RIVER BY RANCH, WHICH WAS WORKING FOR SOME TIME, YOU KNOW, ALL IN ALL, THERE'S ABOUT 17,000 ACRES OF MITIGATION PROPERTY ASSOCIATED WITH THE RESERVOIR ITSELF. IT'S ALSO A MAJOR TRANSPORTATION PROJECT. WE'VE GOT A NEW FM 8 97, ABOUT A MILE LONG BRIDGE LITTLE MORE THAN TWO MILES OF NEW STATE HIGHWAY THAT THAT BY SEX THE RESERVOIR ABOUT 60 MILES OF PIPELINE, BOTH RAW AND TREATED WATER PIPELINE AND A BRAND NEW WATER TREATMENT PLANT NEAR LEONARD, TEXAS. SOME RECENT PHOTOS OF THE PROGRESS THERE'S OUR INTAKE STRUCTURE. THERE'S THE AH, THAT AGAIN. IT'S THE LOWER TWO MILE LONG DAM ITSELF.

CONSTRUCTION HAS COME ALONG NICELY. WE COULD JUST GET A LITTLE BIT MORE RAIN. MOTHER NATURE WOULD COOPERATE WITH US. PERHAPS WE GET TO THE POINT WHERE THE BOARD COULD CONSIDER OPENING RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT SAFE . THERE'S NOT ACCESS TO IT. THERE'S HAZARDS IN WAY. AH MORE OF THE PROJECTS. THERE'S THE FM 8 97 BRIDGE THAT CROSSES THE RESERVOIR ITSELF. YOU KNOW, IT'S ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THAT PHOTO. THE LEFT PHOTO. THERE'S A LOT OF TREES THAT REMAIN. THAT WAS PURPOSEFUL. THE EAST SIDE OF THE RESERVOIR ITSELF, EAST OF FM 8 97 HAS BEEN CLEARED, IT WILL BE OPEN READY FOR RECREATION. UH AND, OF COURSE WATER SUPPLY ON THE LEFT SIDE. A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF EXISTING VEGETATION WAS LEFT AND IT WILL BE AN INCREDIBLE THE FISHERY. PEOPLE TELL US IT WILL BE AN INCREDIBLE FISHERY. ONCE IT'S OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND THE RIGHT SIDE. YOU

[00:25:03]

THAT'S A NEW MAJOR GROUND STORAGE TANKS TO HELP MODERATE PRESSURES AND PROVIDE SOME WATER DURING SOME PARTICULAR FLOW CONDITIONS, SO THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO MEET REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS AND MAKE SURE THAT WATER SUPPLIES AVAILABLE. TRANSITIONING TO A LISTING OF A FIVE YEAR BAR CHART OF MAJOR CAPITAL WATER CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT ARE UNDERWAY. WE HAVE THREE MAIN DRIVERS. WE CATEGORIZE OUR PROJECTS UNDER REGULATORY REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT CHANGES CONSTANTLY. YOU ALL ARE VERY WELL WELL AWARE OF THAT WITH YOUR ROLE AS A WASTEWATER TREATMENT ORGANIZATION, YOU KNOW, I'VE GOT TO KEEP ON TOP OF REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS. TO MAINTAIN OUR INFRASTRUCTURE. JENNA MENTIONED OUR DISTRICT WAS FORMED IN 1951 STARTED PRODUCING WATER IN 1956, AND THE SEVENTIES TOOK OVER A NUMBER OF WASTE WATER TREATMENT COMPONENTS GOT A LOT OF OLDER INFRASTRUCTURE AS A CITY AND AS WELL AWARE THAT THAT HAS TO BE MAINTAINED TO MAKE SURE IT'S RELIABLE GOING IN THE FUTURE. SO THE ORANGE SEGMENTS OF THESE BAR CHARTS REALLY REPRESENTS THAT MAINTAINING AGING INFRASTRUCTURE AND THEN GROWTH. IT'S THE BLUE PORTIONS OF THESE BARS AS YOU LOOK, THIS IS A FIVE YEAR GLANCE AT OUR OVERALL CAPITAL PROGRAM. SEE THAT THE BLUE BARS MAKE UP THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE TOTAL CAPITAL EXPENDITURES FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, AND A LOT OF THE BLUE IN THESE BARS HAS MADE UP OF THE IRAQ PROGRAM THAT INCLUDES WATER TREATMENT PLANT EXPANSIONS, WHICH, WITH NEARLY 55,000 PEOPLE A YEAR MOVING INTO OUR REGION, OUR SERVICE AREA TAKES A LOT OF ENERGY AND EFFORT TO STAY AHEAD OF THAT AND MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S ADEQUATE WATER FOR THEM. THERE'S A LISTING OF BY YEAR OF SOME OF THE MAJOR INITIATIVES CONVERTING TO BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE FILTRATION THAT IS A LONG TERM ONGOING CONVERSION OF OUR WALLY WATER TREATMENT PLANT COMPLEX WILL IMPROVE WATER QUALITY FOR THE REGION AND FOR THE STAFF IS TO MANAGE IT HERE IN THE CITY. I WON'T READ THEM ALL ONE BY ONE.

BUT YOU WILL SEE IN FISCAL YEAR 24. WE ARE VERY QUICKLY. WE'RE GOING TO BE EXPANDING. THE LEONARD WATER TREATMENT PLANT FOLLOWED TO BE FOLLOWED JUST IN 27 A FEW YEARS LATER WITH ANOTHER EXPANSION, SO THAT'S HAPPENING. WE ALSO HAVE A NUMBER OF ITEMS IN OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN FOR FUTURE WATER SUPPLY PROJECTS. MEETING. THE NEEDS OF THE FUTURE IS CRITICAL BEING SUCCESSFUL AND BUILDINGS. WATER SUPPLIES IS A IS A MUST DO AND MUST ACHIEVE AND SO WE'VE GOT TO BE MOVING OUT IN THE NEXT YEARS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FUTURE IS CARED FOR AS IT RELATES TO THE WATER SUPPLY. SO TRANSITIONING TO THAT CONVERSATION ABOUT LONG RANGE WATER. OUR BOARD IS ENGAGED IN WORKING ON A LONG RANGE WATER SUPPLY PLAN THAT'S GOING TO TAKE THE PLANNING EFFORT FOR THE WATER DISTRICT OUT TO 2080. AS WE SAW WITH BOTH DARK BOTH ARE PLAGUE. THE INITIAL STUDIES FOR THAT LAKE CAME OUT OR ACTUALLY, WE'RE INITIATING COMPLETED IN THE MID 19 EIGHTIES. IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO BRING SOMETHING LIKE THAT ONLINE, A MAJOR MAJOR PROJECT AND IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A RED, JUST A RESERVOIR. ANY MAJOR WATER SPOT PROJECTS JUST TAKES TIME, SO WE'VE GOT TO BE MOVING OUT. UM THIS CHART IS SHOWING BY YEAR FROM 2025 THROUGH 2080. THE BARS ARE OUR EXISTING WATER SUPPLIES. UH, THAT ARE ONLINE AND PRODUCING WATER FOR OUR REGION, PROVIDING WE'RE ALL WATER. THE SOLID BLACK LINE IS THE PROJECTED BASED DEMAND GROWTH. YOU SEE THAT? THERE'S REALLY NOT A LOT OF SLOWDOWN ANTICIPATED OVER THAT PLANNING HORIZON WE SEE SOMEWHERE OUT AND ABOUT THE YEAR 2060. WE SEE A LITTLE CHANGE IN THE SLOPE OF THE LINE. IT KIND OF SHALLOWS OUT AND THAT HAS TO DO WITH REACHING APPROACHING KIND OF A BUILD OUT CONDITION. THE DASHED LINE IS A 10% ALLOWANCE FOR UNCERTAINTY IS WHAT WE CALL IT. WE HAVE ALREADY SEEN, UH BECAUSE OF WARMING CLIMATE. WE HAVE SEEN THAT AN IMPACT ON WATER SUPPLIES THEMSELVES. SO AS WE MOVE FORWARD, WE'RE MINDFUL THAT OUR ABILITY TO PREDICT THE FUTURE ACCURATELY IS LIMITED BECAUSE THE FUTURE WON'T LOOK LIKE THE PAST. SO WE'VE GOT TO PREPARE FOR THAT. WHAT WE KNOW IN OUR PLANNING IS THAT BY 2036, WHICH IS NOT VERY FAR AWAY, WE HAVE TO HAVE ADDITIONAL WATER SUPPLIES ONLINE, AND WE'RE WORKING IN

[00:30:05]

IT HAS BEEN GOING ON GOING FOR YEARS. WE'RE CONTINUING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN MEET THE NEEDS OF THE REGION. SO WITH THAT, AS AN OVERVIEW HANDED BACK TO JENNIFER CAN TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR STRATEGIC FINANCIAL PLANS. ALL RIGHT, VERY GOOD. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. RIGHT SO STRATEGIC FINANCIAL PLANS ARE ESSENTIALLY 10 YEAR. PROJECTIONS OF WHAT OUR RATES ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE FOR THE NEXT 10 YEAR PERIOD. THE REASON THAT WE DO THIS IS TO PROVIDE THE BEST INFORMATION THAT WE CAN TO THE CITY IN ORDER TO PLAN FOR WHAT WOULD BE NEEDED FOR THE CITY IN TERMS OF THE FINANCIAL OBLIGATION. WE USED THE BEST INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE ANY GIVEN TIME IN ORDER TO PREPARE THESE AND WE ARE REGULAR ROUTINELY. IN FACT, EACH OF THE LAST 10 YEARS HAVE BEEN OUR ACTUAL BUDGET COME IN BELOW WHAT THE MOST RECENT STRATEGIC FINANCIAL PLAN IS. WE ARE CONTINUOUSLY LOOKING OUR CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT ORGANIZATION AND WE'RE CONTINUOUSLY LOOKING FOR WAYS THAT WE CAN IMPROVE OUR PLANNING TO BETTER EDUCATE THOSE PLANS AND PROVIDE BETTER INFORMATION TO THE CITY'S MOVING FORWARD. IN THE CURRENT CONDITIONS THAT WE'RE IN. WE'VE GOT THREE MAJOR CHALLENGES FROM A FISCAL STANDPOINT, THOSE ARE PEOPLE PRODUCT AND PLANNING, AND WE'RE REALLY IN SOME UNPRECEDENTED ECONOMIC AND UNPRECEDENTED ECONOMIC CONDITIONS RIGHT NOW, AND I KNOW THE CITY IS EXPERIENCING THIS AS WELL AS EVERYONE IS. IN TERMS OF PEOPLE . WE HAVE LABOR CHALLENGES. WE HAVE HAD SIGNIFICANT TURNOVER AND THE LAST FEW FISCAL YEARS WE WERE NOT IMMUNE FROM THE GREAT RESIGNATION. THAT HAPPENED LAST FALL. UH AND WE HAD A NUMBER OF PEOPLE LEAVE THE ORGANIZATION AND WHAT WE'RE FINDING IS THE NUMBER ONE REASON THAT PEOPLE ARE LEAVING IS PAY WHEN WE DO EXIT SURVEYS, THAT'S ROUTINELY WHAT WHAT THE MOST COMMON ANSWER IS. AH OUR EMPLOYEES ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THE HIGHEST INFLATION RATE IN THE LAST 40 YEARS. I'M SURE YOU ALL CAN ATTEST TO THAT AS WELL. AND SO THEIR PAYCHECKS ARE NOT GOING AS FAR AS WHAT THEY HAVE IN THE PAST. THE NEXT MAJOR DRIVER IS PRODUCT, AND THERE'S MANY, MANY PRODUCTS THAT HAVE GONE UP CONSIDERABLY IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY COST. BUT THERE IS ONE PRODUCT THAT HAS HAD A HUGE, HUGE HIT. ON OUR OPERATIONS, AND THAT'S THE COST OF CHEMICALS AND I'LL SPEND A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME AND COMING SLIDE ACTUALLY PROVIDING YOU ALL SOME NUMBERS ON HOW THOSE CHEMICAL COST HAVE REALLY HAD A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON WHAT IT TAKES TO DELIVER WATER TO YOU ALL, UM IN TERMS OF PLANNING, AND THE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS WERE A VERY CAPITAL INTENSIVE ORGANIZATION. WE'VE GOT AH, LARGE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS IN ORDER TO PROVIDE FOR WATER, AS WELL AS WASTEWATER AND SOLID WASTE ACROSS THE REGION. BUT YOU ARE SPECIFICALLY WATER. BILLY TALKED ABOUT THAT THERE'S CONTINUES TO BE SIGNIFICANT GROWTH AND OUR SERVICE AREA WE SEE AROUND 55,000 PEOPLE PER YEAR. MOVING INTO OUR SERVICE AREA, AND WE'VE GOT TO HAVE WATER AVAILABLE FOR THEM BEFORE THEY GET HERE. SO THAT KEEPS US CHALLENGED AND KEEPS OUR CAPITAL PROGRAM MOVING FORWARD. ALSO CONSTRUCTION COSTS HAVE REALLY GONE UP CONSIDERABLY IN THE LAST YEAR. WE TRACKED VERY CLOSELY. SOME INDEXES THAT KIND OF GIVE US AN INDICATION OF HOW CONSTRUCTION COSTS ARE CHANGING. AND WE'VE SEEN AN 18% INCREASE YEAR OVER YEAR AND CONSTRUCTION COSTS, AND SO THAT'S HAVING A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON WHAT IT'S TAKING TO BE ABLE TO DELIVER THE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE REGION. IN TERMS OF CHEMICALS CHEMICALS ACTUALLY MAKE UP ABOUT 50% OF THE RATE INCREASE THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE HAVING IN THE COMING FISCAL FISCAL YEAR. THEY'RE THE BIGGEST PART OF THAT INCREASE BY FAR THIS IS TABLE AND AN ASSOCIATED GRAPH THAT SHOWS YOU HOW THOSE CHEMICAL COSTS HAVE CHANGED OVER TIME. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS INFORMATION. WE ARE GOING FROM ABOUT $50 MILLION IN THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR'S BUDGET TO AN ANTICIPATED NEXT FISCAL YEAR BUDGET OF AROUND 74 SO ABOUT A 50% INCREASE AND ABOUT $25 MILLION OF ADDITIONAL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH CHEMICALS. UM THEY CHEMICALS ARE VERY DEPENDENT UPON ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, AND THEY WE HAVE BENEFITED FROM A NUMBER OF YEARS OF HAVING PRETTY STABLE CHEMICAL

[00:35:05]

AND SO WE HAVE THIS PROCESS CALLED THE NATURAL DRAWDOWN PROCESS THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE QUANTITY OF WATER THAT A GIVEN CITY WOULD PAY IF THEY'RE NOT USING ALL THE WATER THAT THEY HAVE USED IN THE PAST. SO WE'VE GOT SOME ROUGH INFORMATION AND ITS DRAFT AND IT'S NOT FINAL YET, BUT I DID WANT TO SHARE THAT IT APPEARS THAT THE CITY OF GARLAND WILL BE ACTUALLY ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO REDUCE YOUR ANNUAL MINIMUM DEMAND THE VOLUME OF WATER THAT YOU WOULD BE PAYING FOR ABOUT ABOUT 537 MILLION GALLONS IN THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. AND THAT RESULTS IN A ANTICIPATED COST AVOIDANCE OF AROUND $1.8 MILLION, SO THAT I THINK IS A GOOD NEWS STORY, AND WE'LL HELP LEAST SOMEWHAT OFFSET THE ANTICIPATED INCREASE IN COSTS THAT YOU ALL WILL HAVE IN THE COMING YEAR. WITH THAT. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE. BILLY AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE, SO WE'LL TURN IT BACK TO YOU. VERY GOOD. ANY QUESTIONS? SO LOTS OF NOTE TAKING WHILE THE PRESENTATION WAS GOING ON. COUNCILOR WILLIAMS. THANK YOU, MAYOR. GOOD EVENING, AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION ARE JUST JUST A COUPLE OF COUPLE OF THREE. QUICK QUESTIONS ON THE BOTTLE ARC LIKE PROJECT. TALKED ABOUT HIS STARTED BACK IN THE EIGHTIES. SEEMS LIKE TALKING ABOUT IT LONGER THAN THAT. CAN YOU SHARE? WHAT THIS? WHAT WERE THE INITIAL PROJECTIONS? AS TO WANTS. THAT PROJECT IS COMPLETED AND IT'S FOUR AS FAR AS MEETING OUR DEMANDS. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT WERE THEY SO WE HAD WE HAD THE INITIAL PROJECTIONS WERE THAT THAT WOULD SUPPLY THE REGIONS GROWTH THROUGH 2040. WHAT WE FOUND LAST YEAR. WE'VE REALLY LOOKED AT, UH, HYDROLOGY AND THE BASIN I MADE MENTION OF IN OUR DEMAND. PROJECTIONS ARE HAVING A 10% ALLOWANCE FOR UNCERTAINTY.

WE ADDED THAT PARTIALLY BECAUSE WHEN WE LOOK BACK INTO MORE RECENT DROUGHTS HYDROLOGY IN THAT WATERSHED HAS CHANGED. AND INDEED, THERE'S LESS. THERE'S MORE SEVERE DROUGHTS RECENTLY THAN THERE WERE IN THE PAST. AND BUILD OUR CLICK ISN'T ALONE IN THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF RESERVOIRS ACROSS THE STATE THAT HAVE MORE RECENT SEVERE DROUGHTS IN THE STRAIT OF THE FIFTIES, WHICH IS THE CASE OF MOD ART. SO NOW IT LASTS THROUGH 2036, BUT PREVIOUSLY IT WAS THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD SUPPLY THE REGION THROUGH 2040. AND RUMOR HAS IT AND TELL ME IF IT'S AROMA. THAT THERE'S ANOTHER SIMILAR BORDER PROJECT ON THE DRAWING BOARD TO BE ROLLED OUT WITHIN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS OR SO. IS THAT ROME OR JUST GOOD QUESTION, SO THEY'RE ALL HAVE BEEN OTHER AND OUR OTHER RESERVOIRS IN THE STATE LONG RANGE WATER PLAN. AND INDEED, NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL

[00:40:05]

WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH OUR LONG RANGE WATER SUPPLY PLAN, BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT OVER THE PLANNING HORIZON THROUGH 2080 ADDITIONAL RESERVOIRS WILL BE NEEDED. AND WILL THAT INFORMATION BE SHARED WITH CITIES? I SAID PROGRESSES. YEAH AS FAR AS THEIR POTENTIAL IMPACT ON PAST COST PASS THROUGH. ABSOLUTELY. YES SIR. ABSOLUTELY AND THE TIMEFRAME ASSOCIATED WITH PLANNING FOR PERMITTING DESIGNING CONSTRUCTING RESERVOIRS IS VERY LONG. IT TAKES DECADES AND SO IT WOULD BE ANTICIPATED THAT THAT WOULD BE A NUMBER OF DECADES OUT BEFORE IT WOULD ACTUALLY COME TO FRUITION . UH SO THERE'S WE. IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

AND CONSIDERING IN OUR PLANNING , HOWEVER, IT WOULD TAKE A NUMBER OF YEARS FOR THAT TO ACTUALLY HAPPEN. OKAY AND MY LAST QUESTION IS AND I GET THIS OFTEN. AS YOU MENTIONED YOUR COMMUNICATE OUT. ENCOURAGE FOLKS TO CONSIDER CONSERVATION IS BIG AND I TOTALLY SUPPORT CONSERVATION. YOU KNOW, BUT I GET IT FROM MY CONSTITUENTS. OKAY SO WE DO WE FOLLOW THE QUESTION. I THINK WIND GARLAND HAVE DONE AWESOME JOB, OUR CONSTITUENTS OF CONSERVATION.

WHAT WERE THE BENEFITS WHEN WE SEE RATE INCREASES. SO WE'RE CONSERVING BUT YET COST SO CAN YOU FOR THE BENEFIT OF THOSE WHO MAY BE WATCHING. AH CLEAR. BRING SOME CLARITY TO THAT. YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT IT AFTER WE TRIED TO EXPLAIN, BUT YOU GUYS ARE THE EXPERTS. ON THIS, BUT I GET THAT OFTEN THAT WE'VE MEET THOSE GOALS. WE MEET THOSE CONSERVATION GOALS. BUT OUR REWARD FOR MEETING THOSE GOALS IS A RED INCREASE. YEAH I'LL OFFER A FEW BENEFITS. AND THEN IF YOU'D LIKE TO ADD ANYTHING ON THEN THAT WOULD BE GREAT. SO IN TERMS OF BENEFITS BY IMPLEMENTING CONSERVATION BY HAVING PEOPLE USE WATER WISELY, THE AMOUNT OF WATER THAT WE HAVE TO BUILD FOR SUPPLY. THEY MANAGE TREATMENT THAT WE HAVE TO BUILD THE AMOUNT OF TRANSMISSION PIPELINES AND PUMPS THAT WE HAVE TO BUILD GHOSTS DOWN. AND SO THAT GETS TO THAT BILLION DOLLARS OF DEFERRED INVESTMENT THAT WE'VE HAD AS A RESULT OF CONSERVATION, SO THE AMOUNT OF INCREASE IS LESS THAN WHAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HAD WE NOT HAD CONSERVATION FOR ONE THING, ADDITIONALLY, WITH THE RECENT AMENDMENT TO THE CONTRACT, THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE VOLUME OF WATER PURCHASED OVER TIME TO GO DOWN. AND SO WE'RE IN THE SECOND YEAR WHERE THE CITY OF GARLAND AMOUNT OF WATER TO BE PURCHASED IS ACTUALLY GOING DOWN. AND SO THAT IS A BENEFIT IN THAT OVER TIME AS WE GET INTO THE FINAL PHASES OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THAT NEW CONTRACT WILL BE MOVING TOWARD A VOLUMETRIC ROLLING AVERAGE, LIKE A FIVE YEAR ROLLING AVERAGE OF THE AMOUNT OF WATER SUCH THAT YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO MORE QUICKLY SEE THOSE CHANGES IN THE AMOUNT OF WHAT YOU'RE PAYING FOR. VERSUS THE AMOUNT THAT'S BEING USED AS THERE'S A FEW BENEFITS. THERE'S MANY OTHERS IN TERMS OF JUST BEING GOOD ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDS OF THE RESOURCES AND WHICH WE HAVE AND OTHER THINGS, BUT ANY OTHERS THAT YOU WANT TO ADD ON BILLY, YOU COVERED IT VERY WELL. JEN, I'LL JUST ADD THAT YOU KNOW, WE LIVE IN A VERY FAST GROWING REGION. WE ARE NOT HAVING TO DEVELOP AS MANY SUPPLIES AS WOULD HAVE BEEN NEEDED, SAY IT USE LEVELS IN THE 19 NINETIES. COST AVOIDANCE IS WHAT THAT RESULTS IN, BUT IT'S IMPORTANT.

REMEMBER TOO, THAT THE ECONOMIC PROSPERITY THAT WE ENJOY THE JOBS THAT WE ENJOY IN THE REGION AND THE GROWTH AND THOSE OPPORTUNITIES ARE BUILT UPON HAVING THE BASIC INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE. AH SO YES, IT DOES COST MORE. BUT REGIONALLY AND FOR MANY OF US, IT DOES. WE DO APPRECIATE HAVING THOSE JOBS AND HAVING THOSE OPPORTUNITIES AND HAVING THOSE LOWER LEVELS OF UNEMPLOYMENT. SO PROSPERITY GOES HAND IN HAND WITH THAT KIND OF ENCOURAGING ENVIRONMENT, AND WE'VE GOT TO MEET THOSE NEEDS AND HAVE THE BASIC SERVICES IN PLACE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

OPPORTUNITY IF YOU DON'T MIND, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I REALLY GET A LOT OF SATISFACTION OUT OF FOR THE WORK THAT WE DO AND THE WATER INDUSTRY AS WE ARE A MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO INCREASING THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF OUR COUNTRY'S POPULATION OVER THE LAST 100 YEARS, ACCESS TO SAFE DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION IS PARAMOUNT IN TERMS OF HAVING HEALTHY LIVES AND BEING ABLE TO

[00:45:04]

THEY'RE THEY'RE, UH, VARIABLE COSTS. THAT IS WE ONLY ACQUIRE IN USE CONSUME WHAT WE SPEND UM , WE WOULD HAVE TO REACH IN THAT WAY, WE WOULD HAVE TO RECOVER ALL OF THOSE EXPENSES IN THE YEAR THAT THEY ARE CONSUMED. OUR CAMELS AS YOU SEE, KIND OF IN THIS PROJECTION GOING OUT TO 2024. THERE IS NOT AN EXPECTATION AT THIS POINT OR INDICATION THAT CHEMICAL CROSS WERE DROPPED. OR OR EVEN LEVEL OFF. THE EXPECTATION IS THEY'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO GROW. SO IF WE DON'T COVER IF WE WEREN'T TO COVER 100% OF THE COST INCREASES AND DO A PAY AS YOU GO TYPE APPROACH REGIONALLY, UH, THE REGIONALS WATER SYSTEM, THE WATER PROVIDER WOULD ACTUALLY THE COSTS WOULD GO UP IN THE FUTURE, SO WE HAVE TO RECOVER 100% ANY GIVEN YEAR. TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE NOT EVEN UNDULY OR BURDENING THE FUTURE FINANCIALLY , FISCALLY MORE THAN IT SHOULD BE, SO THESE ARE TOTALLY CONSUMED AND EXPENSE WITHIN THE YEAR THAT THEY'RE COLLECTED.

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

[00:50:06]

DROP YOUR CONTRACT WATER. IT'S BEING HAVING LONG TERM CONTRACTS VERSUS ACTUALLY ACQUIRING WATER RIGHTS LIKE A RESERVOIR, WHERE IN PERPETUITY, THEN THE REGION OWNS THAT ASSET. SO THERE'S A KIND OF A CONVERSATION THERE TO BE AHEAD ABOUT THE TYPE OF WATER THAT'S ACQUIRED AS WELL. OKAY, THANK YOU AS A 700 MYSELF WHO'S WORKED ON LARGE. DIAMETER TRANSMISSION PROJECTS. I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU GUYS DO, AND THE ONLY COMPLAINT I HAVE RECEIVED ABOUT THAT. IS THAT THE AIR RELEASE FILES YOU HAVE ON THE JUPITER TRANSMISSION LINES ARE VERY UGLY, AND THEY WISH THAT THOSE WOULD BE MORE ATTRACTIVE. SO I'VE ACTUALLY RECEIVED CALLS ON THAT. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. YEAH. VERY GOOD. ANY ADDITION. YAHOO NO! YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I'VE I'VE LOOKED AT HIM OVER TIME. I GUESS I JUST, YOU KNOW, THEY JUST BLEND IN WITH EVERYTHING. ONE OF THE OTHER DRIVERS IS THE INTEREST RATES. YEAH. GOING UP TO ABOUT 6% JUST SIT DOWN SO YOU CAN GET TO THE WATER CAPITAL. EXCUSE ME. GOOD THING I'M TALL. WE'VE BEEN BORROWING MONEY. WE HAD AN EXCELLENT CREDIT RATINGS BECAUSE OF THE CITIES. I MEAN, BOTTOM LINE. WE HAVE THE BEST CREDIT RATINGS. PROBABLY THAT YOU SOME OF THE BEST ONES YOU CAN GET BEEN BORROWING MONEY TO LESS THAN 3% AROUND 2.9. THAT'S GOING AWAY PRETTY QUICK. AS YOU KNOW IF YOU BEEN WATCHING THE MARKET IT'S CLOSER TO 6% NOW, SO THAT HAD TO TREMENDOUS AMOUNT TO THE THAT'S PART OF THE RATE. BUT THE MAIN THING I WANTED TO MENTION ONE OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS GOLDWATER GUY I USED TO GET TASTE AND ODOR COMPLAINTS EVERY SUMMER. BLUE GREEN ALGAE. AT A LECTERN OVER.

I'M NOT. I KNOW YOU HEARD ALL THAT. THE ADDED THE OZONATION PROCESS A FEW YEARS BACK. YOU DON'T GET ANY OR VERY MANY TASTE AND ODOR COMPLAINTS. YOU DON'T GET VERY MANY BECAUSE WE ADDED THE OWES AND OWES NATION NOT SURE APPRECIATE THAT. THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THE DISTRICT DID THAT. REALLY? CUT DOWN A LOT OF PHONE CALLS. SURE, BRIAN GOT A FEW, TOO FROM THE BLUE GREEN

[00:55:01]

[4e. Garland Senior Activity Center Site Presentation]

LOCATE MY SLIDE HERE. OKAY? MAYOR AND COUNCIL. WE WANTED TO BRING THIS QUESTION BACK BEFORE COUNCIL TO GET RECEIVED SOME FINAL GUIDANCE ON THE GARLAND SENIOR ACTIVITY CENTER. UM WE ALL KNOW THE HISTORY OF HOW WE GOT HERE TO WHERE WE ARE SOMEWHAT REHASH THAT NECESSARILY. UM BUT WE'RE AT A POINT WITH THE NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE FINAL CONTRACT WITH THE ARCHITECT. UM IN THEIR SCOPE OF WHAT TYPE OF SITE ANALYSIS THEY WILL BE ASKED TO PERFORM. AND SO THERE'S BEEN A GREAT DEAL OF QUESTIONS AND A LOT OF IDEAS RELATED TO HOW TO PROCEED WITH THAT, AND SO WE JUST WANTED TO REACH AND MAKE SURE WE HAD SOME FINAL DIRECTION ON HOW TO GO FORWARD. SO I DON'T HAVE ONLY GOT THIS ONE SLIDE, AND IT WAS REALLY TO DISCUSS, UM, THE EXISTING SITES. SO WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS THE IS THE UNDER UNDERLYING PARCEL THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. AND SO WE'RE SEEKING SOME GUIDANCE ON TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE SITE THAT WE HAVE, OR DO WE GO AHEAD AND ANALYZE SOME OTHER SITES? THE MAIN POINT OF EMPHASIS? THERE IS TWOFOLD IF WE MOVE FORWARD, ANALYZING OTHER SITES, THERE IS A HIGH DEGREE OF CHANCE THAT WE WOULD EXTEND THE TIME FRAME IT TAKES TO BUILD THIS FACILITY. AND LIKELY THE COST, WHETHER IT BE ADDITIONAL DESIGN COSTS, LAND ACQUISITION. WHATEVER THAT MAY LOOK LIKE, WE DON'T KNOW, BUT WHAT I DID WANT TO POINT OUT IS THAT THE EXISTING SITE WE BELIEVE WORKS LOOKING AT THE STAFF. OPINIONS AND ANALYSIS ON IT. AND ALSO WITH OUR CONSULTANT. SO WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE IS IT IS NOT EVEN A CONCEPT DRAWING. IT IS NOTHING MORE THAN BLOBS OF SQUARE FOOTAGE ON THE EXISTING SITE. AND SO THE BUDGET RIGHT NOW IS PROJECTING THAT WERE IN THAT 20 TO 22,000 SQUARE FOOT RANGE FOR A NEW FACILITY. KIND OF BELOW THAT AND ITS EXISTING LOCATION AGAIN. NONE OF THIS HAS BEEN DECIDED OR DISCUSS. IT'S JUST SIMPLY RAW SQUARE FOOTAGE. THIS SITE WILL EASILY ACCOMMODATE THAT TARGETED SQUARE FOOTAGE, AND IT WOULD ALSO ACCOMMODATE WHICH WE ALL AGREE, I THINK IS VERY IMPORTANT. THE UPDATED VERSION OF THE VETERANS GARDEN WHERE CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING ALL OF THOSE PAPERS REMOVED. THERE'S PLAQUES . THERE'S ALL KINDS OF REALLY NEAT THINGS IN THERE THAT PEOPLE HAVE PUT EFFORT AND TIME AND MONEY INTO OVER THE YEARS. THEY ARE BEING CAREFULLY REMOVED. BOXED UP FOR THE NEW FACILITY. WHATEVER THAT MAY LOOK LIKE, AND THEN THERE'S ALSO SOME ROOM. UM WE BELIEVE THAT THERE'S SOME VALUE IN THAT WE CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE IS SOME OUTDOOR RECREATION SPACE. WHETHER THAT BE, YOU KNOW SOME KIND OF COURTS , BOCHY GAME TABLES OR JUST SHADED SOCIAL GATHERING PLACES. THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO ALSO DO THAT SO AGAIN. WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING HERE IS NOT AN OFFICIAL DRAWING. IT IS NOTHING MORE THAN TO ILLUSTRATE. HEY, THIS SITE WORKS BASED ON THE SCOPE AND THE DIRECTION THAT WE THINK WE'VE RECEIVED SO FAR. SO AGAIN, WE'D LIKE TO GET FINAL GUIDANCE. ARE WE MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS? UM IF NOT, FOR EXAMPLE, THERE'S BEEN SOME OTHER GREAT IDEAS OUT THERE. BUT THE QUESTION WILL BE

[01:00:05]

WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ON THE RADAR. FOR THOSE FOR THOSE JUST IDEAS ARE THEY GENERALLY GENERALLY THE SAME SQUARE FOOTAGE AS AS THIS AS THIS 20 22,000 SOMEWHERE AROUND THERE.

AH I DON'T KNOW. SO THERE HAS BEEN ONE PARCEL THAT WAS TALKED ABOUT FROM A JUST A ROSS. YOU KNOW SPACE, IT'S ACTUALLY A SMALLER SITE. MIGHT REQUIRE. SOME VERTICAL FACILITIES MIGHT REQUIRE PARKING STRUCTURES THAT ARE TO GO VERTICAL THAT THAT THAT WOULD ADD SIGNIFICANT COST THAT ENDED UP IN A PARKING GARAGE JUST DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE MAY NOT BE HORIZONTAL PARKING SPACE TO ACCOMMODATE ALL THE AREAS IF THERE WAS OTHER FACILITIES OUT THERE. PERHAPS AN EXISTING FACILITY. I'M NOT PERSONALLY AWARE OF THEM, BUT SAME TYPES OF THINGS. OKAY AND THEN FINALLY, DO WE FEEL THAT THIS SQUARE FOOTAGE THE 20,000 LAID OUT IN THIS MANNER WOULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR OUR NEEDS FOR THE NEXT FEW DECADES. YES OR SO. WHAT THIS NUMBER REPRESENTS IS KIND OF WHERE THE RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE MASTER PLAN AND THE BUDGET KIND OF MEET THE CURRENT FUNDING CAPABILITY RIGHT NOW. SO THE MASTER PLAN TALKS ABOUT ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING SPACE, INTENTIONAL EVENT SPACE INSIDE MENTIONED SEVERAL THINGS. AND SO THIS SQUARE FOOTAGE IS DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE THAT. OKAY? YES, I'M BLESSED HIM. JUST FOR THE RECORD . I JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS GET AND I'M SURE IT IS. BUT YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT US TO, UM TO DISCOUNT THIS FACILITY AS WELL AT ALL, YOU KNOW, EVEN IF YOU KNOW IN THE FOR THE SAKE OF TRYING TO RUSH IT, OR FOR THE SAKE OF TRYING TO FIT INTO THE SAME SPOT. IT WAS BEFORE. I'D LIKE FOR IT TO GET ALL THE ATTENTION THAT IT DESERVES. THANK YOU, MAYOR. CONSIDERED LOOK HI. WHEN I WAS ON THE PARKS BOARD, ONE OF THE COMPLAINTS I HEARD FREQUENTLY WAS THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH ROOM FOR DANCING, AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH ROOM FOR LARGE GROUP ACTIVITIES. SO OBVIOUSLY 5000 SQUARE FEET WOULD HELP IN THAT ENDEAVOR, BUT I REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S ENOUGH ROOM FOR THEM FOR I MEAN, SQUARE DANCING IS EXTREMELY POPULAR WITH OUR SENIORS, AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THAT, UM SO THAT'S THAT WOULD BE ON THE TOP OF MY LIST OF PRIORITIES. IF THAT CAN'T HAPPEN AT THIS LOCATION, THEN I THINK WE SHOULD LOOK AT OTHER PLACES. BUT IF IT CAN, THEN YOU KNOW I WOULD PREFER TO HAVE A FACILITY COME UP. QUICKER THAN UM, I KNOW THAT LOOKING AT OTHER OPTIONS AND HIRING CONSULTANTS, AND ALL THAT TAKES MORE TIME. SO THAT IS A REQUIREMENT OF MINE, AND I THINK THAT'S A GREAT PIECE OF FEEDBACK, AND WE AGREE. I THINK THAT'S ONE THAT'S WE HEAR IS WELL THE EXISTING SPACES. HAS A WONDERFUL OPEN SPACE FOR THAT. GOING FORWARD. THE NAME OF THE GAME IS FLEXIBILITY IN SPACE, SO IT CAN DO LOTS OF THINGS. AND SO I THINK ONCE WE GET INTO THAT FEEDBACK AND PUBLIC INPUT PROCESS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHAT? THE CONSULTANT THAT WILL COME UP REPEATEDLY, SO WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT GETS INCORPORATED INTO THE DESIGN. ANOTHER IMPORTANT, IMPORTANT DISTINCTION TO MAKE IS ACCOMMODATING THAT. INSIDE THE BUILDING IS A IS A BUILDING FOOTPRINT. DECIDE ITSELF UNDER DISCUSSION. LET'S LET'S SAY THIS WENT TO 30,000 SQUARE FEET. THE SITE WOULD LIKELY TO ACCOMMODATE THAT, WITH NO ISSUE. IT'S KIND OF WHERE THAT SQUARE FOOTAGE MEETS THE BUDGET KIND OF THING. SO THE BUILDING SQUARE FOOTAGE WILL GO AS FAR AS THE MONEY GOES, AND IT'S FLEXIBLE AS WE CAN MAKE IT. BUT AS FAR AS THAT BEING THAT FUNCTION BEING ACCOUNTED FOR ON THE GROUND. IT COULD CERTAINLY DO THAT. ANOTHER COMPLAINT I HEARD FREQUENTLY WAS THAT THE AND I DON'T KNOW. IT WAS A COUPLE OF PEOPLE, SO I DON'T

[01:05:06]

FURTHERMORE, THANK YOU, SAMEER. ONCE AGAIN, ANDY, YOU DOING A PHENOMENAL JOB? I BELIEVE IN THE MANNER IN THE WAY BY WHICH YOU ARE CONTINUING TO BRING US NEW THOUGHTS. NEW IDEAS, NEW PROSPECTS OF MAKING GROWLING MUCH BETTER PLACE IN WHICH TO LIVE. MY CONCERN IS I HAVEN'T HEARD VERY MUCH IN THE WAY OF HAVE WE DONE ANY PUBLIC LISTENING? WE DON'T ANYTHING IN THE WAY OF LISTENING TO THE PUBLIC IN THE WAY OF CHANGING THE SITE FROM WHERE IT IS PRESENTLY TO SOMEPLACE ELSE. NOT OFFICIALLY. NO SIR. JUST DUE TO THE TIMELINE AND HOW THIS KIND OF MATRICULATED QUICKLY, YOU KNOW, TO A NEW SCOPE AND A NEW CHALLENGE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO MEET. UM WE DEFINITELY HAVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THAT PUBLIC INPUT ONCE THE CONSULTANTS BACK ON BOARD AND WE START THAT PROCESS, AND WE'VE GOT SOME IDEAS ON HOW TO DO THAT, AND AGAIN WHAT WE HAVE HEARD IN A RELATIVELY QUICK FASHION. WE'D LIKE TO MOVE WITH THAT, SO THERE WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THAT. SHOULD THERE BE DIRECTION. TO INCLUDE THAT IN THEIR SCOPE. TO LOOK AT ADDITIONAL SITES AND ANALYZE A LITTLE DEEPER. WE COULD CERTAINLY DO THAT. UM, I JUST I WANT TO BE HIS OPEN AND TRANSPARENT AS I COULD, THAT THAT COULD ADD SOME TIMELINE IN AND IT'S A COMFORT LEVEL THAT WE JUST NEED TO DISCUSS I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN SEVERAL ACTIVITIES.

EVENTS RELEASED TO THAT FACILITY , AND IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE ALREADY GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOME ENHANCEMENTS IN THE WAY OF SOME OF THE THOUGHTS AND IDEAS THAT HAVE BEEN HURT SO FAR. I DON'T KNOW 15,000 SQUARE FEET. IT'S REALLY OR EVEN 20 IS SUFFICIENT. BASED ON WHAT I'VE BEEN IN THERE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I THINK THAT WE NEED TO CONSIDER IF WE CONTINUE TO STAY THERE AND RIGHT

[01:10:04]

CORRECT. THAT'S CORRECT. THAT WAS THOSE WERE THE STEPS WE TOOK DURING THE RENOVATION PROCESS IS TO MAXIMIZE WHAT WE HAD MAXIMIZED THE DOLLARS WE HAD AVAILABLE. WE WOULD HAVE THOSE SAME TYPES OF CONVERSATIONS. WE JUST NOW HAVE DIFFERENT SQUARE FOOTAGE AND A BETTER OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THOSE THINGS. OKAY GOT MORE QUESTIONS FOR YOU, COUNSELOR. WILLIAMS. THANK YOU.

MAYOR PETER NANDI APPRECIATE THE WORK YOU'VE DONE ON THIS, UM, DISCOVER THINGS. THIS ONE. WE'VE GOT TO GET THIS ONE, RIGHT? AND I'M I'M I'M WILLING TO IF WE HAVE TO, IF WE IF WE DON'T NEED TO FIND, BUT I'M WILLING TO SPEND THE EXTRA TIME. TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS THAT YOU FEEL THAT WE NEED TO GO THROUGH. TO GET THIS RIGHT? BECAUSE WE'RE ONLY GONNA DO IT ONCE. SO THAT'S THAT'S MY FIRST POINT. UM. AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU MENTIONED MOTHER'S SITE. MAYBE A TOUGH TOP THREE YEAH, I HAVE. NO, I HAVE NO ISSUES WITH THIS CURRENT SITE. RIGHT NOW, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT OR WITHOUT AN EXTENSIVE LONG TERM, MY TALKING ABOUT A DEEP DIVE ANALYSIS ON THAT, BUT JUST SOME INFORMATION ON IF THERE ARE TWO OTHER SAFE THAT HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED WITH YOU. YOU AND YOUR TEAM ARE LOOKING AT I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THOSE WHAT THOSE WHAT THOSE ARE.

AND AS WE AS WE DELIBERATE OWNERS IN THE AH. THE OTHER THING IS OUR SERVICE PROPERTIES ARE USER POPULATION. FOR THE SENIOR CENTER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE HAVE IN THE DATA ON WE DO.

I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT OUR USER INFORMATION JUST SINCE SHE TELLS US, YOU KNOW WHERE WHERE THE FOLKS ARE COMING FROM. YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT WOULD BE GOOD INFORMATION AND THAT WILL BE HELPFUL. I DON'T ME AND US FINDING LANDING THIS PLANE TO DECIDE WHETHER PEOPLE ARE COMING FROM OUR THEY ARE. WE YOU KNOW, WE PROVIDING THE TRANSPORTATION OR THEY'RE BEING DROPPED OUT BACK. RELATIVE OR THEY WALKING. I THINK THAT THAT WILL BE A HUGE FACTOR IN THE GERMAN. THAT AND THE OTHER THING. I LIKE THIS SITE. BUT AND I KNOW WE'RE NOT IN DESIGN ALL THAT STUFF NOW, BUT WE LEARNED ON THIS SIDE. WE'VE GOT TO MAKE IT MORE WALKABLE. PARTICULARS RELATING TO WHAT WE'RE DOING DOWNTOWN. RIGHT NOW. IT'S HAS IT. MAJOR HAS IT. SO THOSE ARE SOME THINGS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE. IF YOU CAN COME BACK WITH THAT WAS A COUPLE OF PIECES OF INFORMATION WOULD THAT BE? IS THAT DOABLE? ANDY MASTER PLAN HAS QUITE A BIT OF DATA IN IT THAT WE COULD.

THAT'S ALREADY SOMETHING THAT THE ARCHITECT WOULD LOOK AT, BECAUSE DESIGN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO THE CUSTOMER DEMOGRAPHICS. WHAT WE HAVE NOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE AND EXACTLY UM AND SO THE OTHER SO IF I COULD SUMMARIZE, IF IT'S THE COUNCIL'S PLEASURE WE COULD DO. A HIGH LEVEL SITE ANALYSIS OF PRO THAT WOULD INCLUDE PROS CONS OF EACH SITE. TIMELINE

[01:15:04]

VERY GOOD. CUSTOMER LOOK. UM I WAS ACTUALLY APPROACHED BY TWO PEOPLE TO MOVE THE FACILITY, UM TO A MORE. TO A CLOSER SPACE TO THEM. UM AND I MEAN YEAH, IT'S TOO. IT'S TOO FAR TO DRIVE TO DOWNTOWN IS WHAT I KNOW. THAT'S JUST THAT'S THE FEEDBACK I'VE RECEIVED THAT I DIDN'T EVEN ASK FOR. SO, UM, JUST WELCOME TO THE CITY COUNCIL, PUTTING THAT OUT THERE. COUNCILOR RIVERA. ANDY AND THIS FACILITY. YOU SAY? 15,000 SQUARE FEET APPROXIMATELY WHAT IS CURRENTLY CONSTRUCTED OR WE GO UP ONE FLOOR. SO THAT THAT GENERALLY. BECOMES MORE EXPENSIVE. THIS FOOTPRINT I'M SHOWING IS ALL ONE FLOOR. AND AVOIDS THE EXPENSES THAT GOES WITH THE STRUCTURAL THE ELEVATORS IN THE DIFFERENT ACCESS. UM AND KIND OF THE SAME THING WITH IT WOULD MAKE THIS JUST MY PERSONAL VIEW. IT MAKES ME A LITTLE NERVOUS, HAVING A LOT OF THAT VERTICAL ELEMENT WITH THE SENIORS, AND A LOT OF THEM ARE WHEEL BOUND IN VARIOUS WAYS AND SO BETWEEN WHETHER IT BE A PARKING STRUCTURE OR BUILDING STRUCTURE OR AND AGAIN TO MR WILLIAMS POINT, ANYTHING THAT'S ANY KIND OF BARRIER. YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO ADDRESS GOING VERTICAL TENDS TO ADD COST AND WHICH I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANY IDENTIFIED AT THIS POINT. BUT IF YOU WOULD GO UP ONE OR THEN THE PARKING WOULDN'T BE THERE, WOULD IT? SO THE CURRENT LAYOUT IS NOT A PARTICULARLY EFFICIENT LAYOUT. IT'S KIND OF A W OR A BOW TIE SHAPED AND SO I THINK THE GOAL WOULD BE AGAIN THE SITE ITSELF. IS AN ADEQUATE ACREAGE. IN THE BUDGET IS GOING TO DRIVE FOR THE MOST PART, THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE BUILDING AFTER BUILDING IS EFFICIENT IN THE WAY IT'S LAID OUT. IT. WE SHOULD HOPE AND, YOU KNOW, MAKE THE PARKING MORE EFFICIENT AND MORE ACCOMMODATING . WHAT'S ADJACENT TO IT AND ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. WELL, I JUST SEEING IF WE GO UP WE WOULD PROBABLY NEED MORE PARKING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING. THANK YOU, MARY.

PREMIERE PRO TIM MORRIS. THANK YOU, MAYOR. YEAH. YOU KNOW, ANDY, THIS THE WHOLE THING THAT HAPPENED WITH THE SENIOR ACTIVITY CENTER CAUGHT CAUGHT US BY SURPRISE THAT WE COULDN'T JUST CONTINUE THE RENOVATIONS AND BUMPING OUT THE NEW FITNESS ROOM AREA AND THE OTHER THINGS, WINDOWS, EVERYTHING THAT WE HAD PLANNED AND CAUGHT US BY SURPRISE. OF COURSE, IT CAUGHT THE USERS THAT SENIORS BY SURPRISE. UM. THE MAJORITY OF THEM HONESTLY, AND I HEAR FROM THEM ALL THE TIME, AND I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME WITH THE SENIORS. UM A LOT OF THEM HAVE NO IDEA THAT THERE'S ANY QUESTION ABOUT IT GOING BACK ON THAT SAME SPOT. SO UM, THAT WOULD THAT WOULD BE, UM, THAT WOULD BE AN INTERESTING THING TO, UH TO STOP COMMUNICATE. UM I LOVE THE IDEA OF THE HIGH LEVEL SITE ANALYSIS WITH PROS AND CONS AND TIMELINES. I JUST THINK THAT'S BASIC. UM DOING DUE DILIGENCE TO MAKE SURE WE'RE MAKING THE BEST DECISION. I ALSO WAS KIND OF LEANING TOWARD PREFERENCE FOR THE SITE OVER CLOSER TO THE LIBRARIAN.

HERITAGE MUSEUM JUST COULDN'T SEEM LIKE THAT WAS LIKE PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY AND IT WENT TOGETHER. UM THE SENIORS LIKE THIS SITE THEY LIKE BEING CLOSE TO DOWNTOWN. UM YOU KNOW, I'VE SEEN THE HEAT MAP ABOUT WHERE THEY'RE ALL COMING FROM. I ASKED FOR THAT DURING THE PANDEMIC, AND WHEN WE'RE RUNNING BUSSES AND THINGS AND THEY'RE COMING FROM ALL ALL OVER ACROSS THE CITY SO, UM, I AND I'M HAPPY WITH OUR BUSSING SYSTEM, AND MOST OF THEM ARE AGAIN THEY'VE BEEN PRETTY HAPPY WITH THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. SO I WOULD DEFINITELY BE IN FAVOR OF HAVING YOU MOVE FORWARD WITH A SITE ANALYSIS AND BRING THAT BACK TO US WITH ALL DUE SPEED.

UM THERE THE SENIORS ARE THEY ARE VERY ANXIOUS TO GET BACK THEIR THEIR TEMPORARY HOUSING OVER AT GALE. UM AND USING CARVER AND YOU KNOW THEY THEY WANT THEY WANT TO GO BACK HOME.

REAL BAD. SO THE SOONER THE BETTER, UM ONE QUESTION I HAD IF WE WERE TO STAY AT THIS SITE, UM DO I UNDERSTAND YOU TO SAY THAT THAT WITH OUR BLOCKS, UM, REPRESENTATIVE BLOCKS ARE WE WOULD WE BE PLANNING TO LEAVE ROOM FOR DELIBERATELY PLAN ROOM FOR EXPANSION? FOR FUTURE YEARS . SHOULD WE EVER DECIDE TO DO THAT? MAKE IT EASY. WE COULD CERTAINLY MAKE THAT PART OF THE

[01:20:02]

VERY GOOD. ALL RIGHT, AND I WILL SAY I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH PUTTING IT KEEPING IT ON THIS SITE. I THINK IT WORKS. I THINK IT'S MY ONLY THING IS WE ARE WORKING THROUGH IF WE ARE WORKING THROUGH THE DESIGN OF THIS ON THIS LOCATION IS IF THERE'S GOING TO BE ANYTHING ALONG AVENUE B. THE VETERANS GARDEN, ETCETERA THAT WE SERIOUSLY INVEST IN NOISE MITIGATION BECAUSE THAT. VETERANS GARDEN IS ONE OF THE LEAST PEACEFUL PLACES. IN THIS CITY BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC ON AVENUE B. SO IF IN THE FINAL RENDERING OF THIS THE FINAL IF THE VETERANS GARDEN STAYS PUT WE SERIOUSLY NEED TO INVEST IN SOME IN SOME NOISE MITIGATION ALONG THAT THAT FULL STRETCH. I DON'T CARE WHAT WE IF WE EVEN IF WE JUST PUT A PICNIC TABLE OUT THERE, WE'VE GOT TO INVEST IN SOME NOISE MITIGATION ALONG THAT CORRIDOR BECAUSE IT IS HORRENDOUSLY LOUD SO THAT THAT BEING SAID, THAT'S THAT'S MY SHOT AT DESIGNING THE SENIOR FACILITY. I THINK THE CONSENSUS HERE IS LET'S UH I DON'T I ONLY KNOW OF ONE OTHER SITE AND THE SITE THAT WAS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A THIRD, UM BUT CERTAINLY. TO DO DILIGENCE. YES LET'S LOOK AT IT. HEATMAP SEEN THE HEAT MAP AND IT'S THERE'S THEY'RE EVERYWHERE. THEY'RE SENIORS ARE EVERYWHERE. UM BUT YOU KNOW, AND I REALIZED THE LONGER THE LONGER WE SPEND JOCKEYING BACK AND FORTH ON SITES AND ALL THAT STUFF THAT THE CALENDAR IS JUST IS JUST GOING TO EXTEND. SO WHEN DO YOU SEE THAT BEING POSSIBLE AS FAR AS THIS VERY HIGH LEVEL SITE ANALYSIS, IT IS. YOU'LL SEE THE CONTRACT, PROBABLY BY OCTOBER, AND AS SOON AS WE GET THE CONTRACT APPROVED AND SIGNED, WE'LL START THAT WILL BE THE FIRST STEP RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX.

YEAH YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. AND HE'S HERE BECAUSE I ASKED HIM TO COME TALK TO YOU GUYS, AND WE WANTED THIS GUIDANCE FROM YOU ON SITE SELECTION. YOU KNOW, OUR OUR EFFORTS WERE, HOW QUICKLY CAN WE

[01:25:03]

CATHERINE. LOOK. IN YOUR SEARCH FOR OTHER LOCATIONS. WILL YOU LOOK FOR A PLACE THAT MIGHT BE LARGE ENOUGH FOR PICKLEBALL COURT? OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR. BECAUSE WILLIAMS, OKAY? HARD TO FOLLOW THAT. UM YEAH, MITCH, YOU'RE SPOT ON MY COMMENTS THAT I USED TO IF THERE ARE THE SITES AND I HAVE ONE. BUT BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO SPEND TIME. DEBATING THIS AND IN NO WAY DELAY ULTIMATE GOAL IS GETTING SENIORS BACK. AND THEY'RE HAPPY PLACE. SO THAT'S IT. SO I WAS MY COMMENTS WERE RELATED TO THE HEART LEVEL. UM, REVIEW. OF THE TWO OR THREE SITES THAT WE HAVE NOT IN THE WEEDS KIND OF THING, AND THEN BRING IT HARDLY REVIEW SO THAT WE CAN TO EXTENT WE CAN EXPEDITE THIS PROCESS. SO I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE WHOLE DETAIL. SET ANALYSIS, ALL THAT STUFF BUT JUST HARD LEVEL SO THAT WE CAN HERE. IT YOUR FEEDBACK AND MOVE FORWARD. I JUST WANT TO CLEAR THAT UP MAYOR SINCE I MADE THAT COMMENT, WE CAN MOVE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE WITH THE CONSULTANT TO GET THE CONTRACT ON BOARD AND GET THAT ANALYSIS DONE AT A HIGH LEVEL. WE'LL MOVE FORWARD QUICKLY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MAYOR. ULTIMATELY, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO LAND. RIGHT BETWEEN AVENUES A AND B BUT AGAIN, LET'S LET'S DO THE YOU KNOW, LET'S DO THE LOOK. UM AND THEN WE'LL GET DOWN TO WHAT'S THAT? YEAH, HE DOES EXACTLY. Q APPRECIATE THEM AGAIN. THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE VETERANS GARDEN AND THE NOISE. THAT'S THAT IS PART OF A SITE ANALYSIS SO THAT THAT INFORMATION IS VERY HELPFUL THAT THAT WILL ULTIMATELY END UP A FACTOR. VERY LOUD. ALRIGHT ARE WE EVERYBODY GOOD WITH THE DIRECTION ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, SIR. AND THAT BRINGS US TO THE ITEM. FOUR F DISCUSSED GENERAL PARK RULES

[4f. Discuss General Park Rules Concerning Hours of Operation, Parking and Dog Park Rules and Recommendations from the Community Services Committee]

[01:30:08]

SO WHAT I'M GONNA DO IS JUST KIND OF WALK THROUGH WHAT THE PARK RULES WERE AND WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE UPDATING. THE BIG THING ON RULE NUMBER ONE WAS JUST TO ADD THE WORD PADDOCKS TO DOG PARK SINCE TO REALLY IDENTIFY WHERE THESE RULES ARE GOING TO BE IN PLACE, AND THAT'S WITHIN THE THREE DIFFERENT PADDOCKS. 23 AND FOUR AND FIVE DIDN'T CHANGE. A LOT OF DEBATE HAPPENED ON SIX THIS WAS AN OLD RULE THAT WAS CHANGED BECAUSE IT DIDN'T ALLOW FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN TO BE IN THE PARK. IT DIDN'T AND SO WHAT THIS WAS DONE WAS JUST CHANGED TO SAY PERSONS UNDER THE AGE OF 12 MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT OVER THE AGE OF 17 TO BE ABLE TO BE IN THE PADDOCK. THIS CLEARED UP SOME DISCREPANCIES IN THAT ROLE AND SOMETHING THAT REALLY DIDN'T MAKE SENSE. UM EACH DOG BROUGHT INTO THE PARK MUST BE WEARING ITS CURRENT RABIES TAG, BUT WE DID REMOVE TO BE STERILIZED OVER THE AGE OF SIX MONTHS, AND ALL DOGS MUST BE STERILIZED TO RESIDE IN THE CITY OF GARLAND AGAIN. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S HARD TO CHECK AND CHART TO REALLY ENFORCE. AND SO AGAIN, ONE OF THOSE RULES THAT JUST REALLY DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO BE ON THAT. BUT IT DOES. IT MAKES SENSE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE DOGS ARE VACCINATED AND HAVE AT LEAST THEIR RABIES. TAKE THERE. SO PEOPLE KNOW IF THERE IS AN INCIDENT THAT THEY'VE BEEN VACCINATED AH, AGAIN, THE NEXT TO DIDN'T CHANGE IN TERMS OF BEING MAKING SURE THE DOGS ON A LEASH IN BETWEEN THE CAR AND GETTING TO THE PADDOCK. NO WOUNDED OR SICK DOGS OR DOGS IN HEAT TO BE BROUGHT INTO THE PARK. NONE OF THOSE CHANGED. THE WORD FOOD AND TOYS WERE OMITTED FROM RULE NUMBER. 10 GLASS CONTAINERS ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT PERMITTED IN THE DOG PARK FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. THEY'RE ALSO NOT PERMITTED IN ANY OF OUR PARKS. UM BUT GREAT POINTS WERE BROUGHT UP THAT THAT PEOPLE WITH THEIR DOGS WANT TO BRING FRISBEES WANT TO BRING BALLS WANT TO BRING OTHER THINGS TO BE ABLE TO PLAY WITH PLAY WITH THEIR DOGS? OR THEY MIGHT WANT TO BRING IN A DRINK OR BRINGING SOME SNACK? AND SO AGAIN, JUST ANOTHER AVENUE TO MAKE THAT A LITTLE BIT CLEANER. ALCOHOL TOBACCO PRODUCTS E CIGARETTES AGAIN. THIS IS ONE THAT WERE TRUMPED BY STATE LAW SO THAT ONE HAD TO COME OUT. UM, AND THEN THE LAST ONE THAT WAS REMOVED HIS HANDLERS SHELL CONTROL, EXCESSIVE BARKING AND AGAIN. THIS WAS ONE THAT WHO REALLY DEFINES WHAT EXCESSIVE BARKING IS. AND HOW DO YOU CONTROL THAT? SO THOSE WERE THE BIG RULE

[01:35:04]

THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. MY QUESTION ON ALL THESE GIRLS TO ENFORCEMENT ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO ARE WE GONNA HAVE SOMEONE MOTHER MONITORING ALL THE TIME OR TAKING PHONE CALLS ARE ANIMAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT ALREADY RESPONDS TO 50 CALLS A DAY ON AVERAGE. SO IS THIS GOING TO BE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO COME OUT AND WHO HAS THE AUTHORITY TO ISSUE TICKETS. IF THAT'S THE WAY WE'RE GOING TO OUR HOUSE THAT ALL WORK AND WE WORK VERY, VERY CLOSELY WITH OUR ANIMAL SERVICES , AND HE'S ALWAYS THE FIRST TO TELL YOU THAT IF THERE ARE AN ISSUE OUT THERE WITH A DOG TO CALL THEM FIRST, OBVIOUSLY, IF IT'S AN EMERGENCY, IF THERE'S BEEN A BITE, OR IF THERE'S AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR OR THINGS LIKE THAT, YOU NEED TO CALL 911. BUT DOG PARKS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, YOU KNOW, ARE THEIR OWN LITTLE CLAN AND THEY NEED TO, REALLY IN A LOT OF SENSE POLICE THEMSELVES WHEN THEY'RE IN THERE, AND IF THERE ARE THOSE EMERGENCY SITUATIONS THAT COME UP, MAKING SURE THAT THEY'RE RESPONDING TO THOSE IN THE PROPER WAY AND CALLING THE PROPER AUTHORITIES TO BE ABLE TO GET PEOPLE OUT THERE TO TAKE CARE OF THOSE TYPES OF ISSUES.

IF I COULD PIGGYBACK ON THAT, IT'S A TWOFOLD IN. IT'S THE SAME AS IT IS. NOW IT'S COMPLAINT DRIVEN, AND IT'S PATROL DRIVEN BASED ON THEIR ABILITY AND THEIR WORKLOAD. ONE OF THE OBSTACLES THAT WE FOUND IS IN GENERAL. PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHO TO CALL IF THERE IS A COMPLAINT. AND WHO THE AUTHORITY IS, AND SO IT'S VERY CLEARLY ANIMAL CONTROL AND HAVING ACCESS TO THEIR NUMBER.

IT TAKES MUCH LONGER TO ADDRESS A COMPLAINT VIA SOCIAL MEDIA IF THEY WOULD GO AND CALL. THE CORRECT DEPARTMENT. IT'LL GET RECTIFIED AND ADDRESSED AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE. WELL LET ME GIVE YOU FOR EXAMPLE, IF I BRING A DOG AND DOESN'T HAVE A RABIES TAG ON IT. WHAT HAPPENS THEN? IF SOMEONE MAKES COMPLAINT, WHERE DOES IT GO TO ANIMAL CONTROL, AND THEN THEY WOULD COME OUT AND WHAT THEY WOULD EITHER SO IF ITS COMPLAINT DRIVEN IS IF SOMEBODY CALLS AND SAYS HEY, THAT GUY DOESN'T HAVE A TAG. THEY WOULD GO AND APPROACH AND DO THEIR JOB AS AN OFFICER TO DETERMINE WHETHER THAT WAS AN ACCURATE COMPLAINT OR NOT. THEY IF THEY'RE IN PATROL AND THEY GO THROUGH AND THEY'RE CHECKING AS WELL. THAT'S ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO DETERMINE IF PEOPLE ARE COMPLIANT WITH THE RABIES TAGS. SO EITHER CASE WOULD WORK AND SOME OF THE OTHER RULES THAT ARE MORE YOU KNOW, IN THE GRAY AREA. I DON'T HAVE VERBAL CONTROL OF MY DOG THE SAME TYPE OF SITUATION, THEY COME OUT AND MAKE AN ASSESSMENT. YES AGAIN IF IT'S A COMPLAINT DRIVEN, AS ANDY SAID, IF ITS COMPLAINT DRIVEN CALL ANIMAL CONTROL, THEY'LL COME OUT TO EVALUATE THE SITUATION WILL QUESTION THE PEOPLE THAT ARE THERE AND THEN TAKE NECESSARY ACTION. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. VERY GOOD. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. DOG PARK RELATED IF YOU EVER NEED AN EXAMPLE OF EXCESSIVE BARKING, PUT AN AMAZON UNIFORM ON AND COVERING MY DOORBELL, AND YOU WILL GET ALL THE EXCESSIVE BARKING YOU COULD EVER EVER STAND. ALL RIGHT. SO AH! AS FAR AS DOG PARK EVERYBODY'S GOOD MOVING FORWARD WITH WHAT'S BEEN PRESENTED. ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD.

THANK YOU AND MOVING ON TO OUR PARK ORDINANCE AMENDMENT CHANGES WE REALLY HAVE JUST 21 IS MAINLY OUR PARK HOURS. WHERE RECOMMENDING TO WRITE CURRENTLY OR PARK HOURS OR SIX A.M. TO MIDNIGHT. WE WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE HAVE OUR PARK HOURS FROM SIX AM TO 10. PM EXCEPT FOR THOSE PARKS THAT HAVE SPORTS COMPLEX IN THEM. SO CARTER AUTOBAHN. OBVIOUSLY THE LIST IS HERE. RICK ODEN, UM AND RICK OWN SHOULD BE WOULD BE IN THE ENTIRE PARK. THAT WOULD BE A PART OF THAT, BECAUSE THERE'S LESS DISTINCTION THERE. THERE'S THAT DIDN'T UPDATE IN MY PRESENTATION

[01:40:02]

AND PRETTY MUCH SAID WE'VE BEEN INSTRUCTED TO, YOU KNOW, DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO. AH TO BE ABLE TO CORRECT THAT PROBLEM. SO WHAT THIS WOULD DO IS ALLOW US TO ERECT A SIGN THAT SAYS, IF YOU ARE PARKED IN THIS LOCATION BETWEEN THESE HOURS ON A SCHOOL DAY FOR MORE THAN FOUR HOURS THAT WE COULD THEN TICKET YOU OR EVENTUALLY TELL YOU IF WE HAD TO AGAIN WITH THIS WOULD BE KNEW WE WOULD REACH BACK OUT TO THE SCHOOLS. THREE HOURS? YES. THREE HOURS. AH WE'LL BE ABLE TO REACH OUT TO THE SCHOOLS AND INFORM THEM THAT WE WERE GOING TO DO THIS. WE WOULD HAVE A WARNING PERIOD BEFOREHAND BEFORE WE STARTED TO GIVE TICKETS. UM BUT AGAIN, SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO TO BE ABLE TO DETOUR THESE STUDENTS FROM PARKING IN THESE AREAS AND WE'VE TALKED TO THE SCHOOLS AND THIS ISN'T AH, THEY HAVE PLENTY OF PARKING. THERE'S PLENTY OF PARKING ON SCHOOL GROUNDS BUT TO BE ABLE TO ISSUE RIGHT BUT TO BE ABLE TO GET A PASS, YOU HAVE TO HAVE INSURANCE . YOU HAVE TO HAVE A VALID DRIVER'S LICENSE. YOU HAVE TO PAY TO GET THAT PARKING PASS.

AND SO WHAT? I'M ASSUMING THAT A LOT OF THEM DON'T MEET THAT CRITERIA, WHICH IS WHY THEY PARK IN OUR PARKING SPOTS, SO THIS WOULD ALLOW US TO AT LEAST BE ABLE TO START GIVING NOTICE TO THESE STUDENTS THAT THIS IS AVAILABLE FOR PARK USERS AND NOT FOR SOMEBODY TO PARK DURING SCHOOL HOURS. I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY WAY TO OPPOSE THIS. IT IS ONE OF THE LONGEST STANDING COMPLAINTS AROUND EVERY HIGH SCHOOL. I MEAN IT RESIDENTIAL STREETS. YOU NAME IT. WE'VE DEALT WITH THEM ALL OVER THE YEARS. SO EVERYBODY GOOD WITH THE PARKING RESTRICTION. VERY GOOD. ALL RIGHT, AND THAT WAS ALL WE HAD. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH, AND YOU WILL BRING THOSE FORWARD TO US THAT OUR NEXT COUNSELOR COUNCILMAN, WE CAN MAKE THEM HAPPEN. ALL RIGHT. THANKS A LOT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD

[4g. Home Improvement Incentive Program Update]

[01:45:17]

I HAVE TO SAY THAT A LITTLE BIT SLOWER. UM SOME ADDITIONAL ELIGIBILITY. THESE INCLUDE A MINIMUM INVESTMENT OF $1000. THE PROPERTY MUST BE A SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOME. IT MUST BE AT LEAST 30 YEARS OLD AND THE APPRAISED TOTAL DECAF APPRAISED VALUE CANNOT EXCEED $200,000.

RENTAL PROPERTIES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. SO LOOKING AT FISCAL YEAR 22 THERE WERE 77 APPROVED APPLICATIONS SO FAR ABOUT 230,000 AND REBATES HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED WITH ABOUT 260,000 AND COMMITTED FUNDS REMAINING. THE AVERAGE ACTUAL REBATES, AND THAT'S THE REBATES, WHICH HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED IS THE AVERAGE ACTUAL REBATES IS 48 OR 4800, WITH A TOTAL ACTUAL INVESTMENT OF ABOUT $492,000, AND THAT NUMBER IS BOTH THE HOMEOWNER AND CITY CONTRIBUTION. THE OVERALL AVERAGE INVESTMENT IS $10,000, WITH THE MOST COMMON IMPROVEMENT BEING WINDOW REPLACEMENT. HMM RENTAL PROPERTIES ALSO COMPRISED OF 7.8% OF PARTICIPATING PROPERTIES. SO ON THE MAP SHOWN HERE YOU CAN SEE THE DISTRIBUTION OF PROPERTIES PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM. UM, ORANGE DOTS REPRESENT THOSE PROPERTIES PARTICIPATING FROM FISCAL YEAR 2022. THE BLUE DOTS REPRESENT THOSE PROPERTIES FROM FISCAL YEAR 21. AND THE MAROON DOTS REPRESENT, UH, PROPERTIES FROM FISCAL YEAR 2020. SO OF THE 77 APPROVED APPLICATIONS. THERE WERE A TOTAL OF 159 REPAIRS. UM SO FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR IN 20 FISCAL YEAR, 22 22 OF THOSE 159 REPAIRS. 26% WERE WINDOW REPLACEMENT AS MENTIONED EARLIER, FOLLOWED BY FENCE REPLACEMENT AT 18% EXTERIOR DOOR REPLACEMENT IS 10% AND THEN GUTTERS AND HOUSE. THREE PAINTING TIED FOR THE 4TH AND 5TH RANKING. BOTH COMPRISING OF 9% OF THE REPAIRS. SO SINCE THE

[01:50:07]

YOU WOULD BE SURPRISE, RIGHT? YEAH BUT OVERALL, WE'VE HAD EXTREMELY POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM AVA ON THEY'VE MENTIONED THAT MR BOLLINGER WAS INCREDIBLY INCREDIBLY HELPFUL PROFESSIONAL AND PATIENT WITH ALL OF HER QUESTIONS. JAY MARTINEZ SAID, YOU KNOW, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HELP WITH THIS PROJECT, AND IT MEANS A LOT BEING ABLE TO DO UPDATES TO OUR HOUSE SLOWLY BUT SURELY AND THEN T GLAD HMAN SAID , THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR GUIDANCE THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS . SO UM, AS I MENTIONED, UH MORE MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, WE HAVE JUST POSITIVE FEEDBACK AND REVIEWS FROM ARE APPLICANTS. HANG ON ONE SECOND REWARD. YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR NOW OR FOR LATER. OKAY. VERY GOOD. GO AHEAD. SO MOVING FORWARD ONE CONSIDERATION. STAFF WOULD LIKE TO RAISE COUNCIL IS THAT OF INCREASING APPRAISED HOME VALUES . SO THE CHART THAT YOU SEE HERE KIND OF GIVES YOU A SNAPSHOT OF THE CURRENT DECAF APPRAISED VALUES FOR SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES HERE IN GARLAND. SO I'M JUST KIND OF RUNNING THROUGH THOSE REALLY QUICKLY. 8% OF SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES ARE 100 AND $75,000 AND UNDER 10% ARE BETWEEN 1, 75 AND 214% ARE BETWEEN 202 25. 15% ARE BETWEEN 2 25 AND 2 50 14% ARE BETWEEN 2 52 75 39% ARE VALUED AT 275,000 AND, UH, SO A CONSIDERATION FOR FISCAL YEAR. 23 IS THE CURRENT MEDIAN HOME VALUE AND FOR SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES IS $254,700. THIS IS ABOUT A 25% INCREASE FROM LAST YEAR'S MEDIAN HOME VALUE, WHICH WAS 2 202,970, SO A POINT TO CONSIDER IS TO KEEP HIP IN ITS CURRENT FORM, WITH POTENTIALLY RAISING THE APPRAISED VALUE CAP BY 25% TO 250,000. THE CURRENT APPRAISED VALUE CAP IS 200,000. THE TABLE BELOW. THAT REALLY HIGHLIGHTS THOSE SPECIFIC NUMBERS THAT WERE IN THE PREVIOUS PREVIOUS SLIDE SHOWING THAT 18% OF THE SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES ARE VALUED AT OR UNDER 200,000, WHEREAS ABOUT 47% OF THE SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES IN GARLAND. ARE VALUED AT OR UNDER $250,000. SO WITH THAT I WILL OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSION. HERE WE GO. CANCER MORE. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. THIS IS A VERY TIMELY SUBJECT FOR US TO BE DEALING WITH IN THAT. I JUST RECEIVED A CALL JUST THIS PAST WEEK. FROM A LADY WHO, UM $900 A MONTH SOCIAL SECURITY. JUST BARELY MAKING IT. SHE HAS A NICE HOME. AND SHE'S RECEIVING PRESENTLY NOTICES FROM CODE ENFORCEMENT IN DIFFERENT PEOPLE. AND SHE WANTED TO FIND OUT WHAT SHE COULD DO WHAT THE CITY COULD DO TO HELP HER. AND. I TALKED TO HER ABOUT PARTNERING WITH SOME OF THE INCENTIVE PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE. BUT SHE SAYS, I DON'T HAVE $1000 EXTRA.

IS THERE ANYTHING AND I'M DOING THIS REALLY BECAUSE I'M HOPING THAT MAYBE SHE'S WATCHING TONIGHT. WHAT DO WE HAVE? WHAT IS THERE THAT WE CAN DO FOR A PERSON IN THAT SITUATION? THERE'S A BY THE WAY, SCOTT BOLLINGER NEIGHBORHOOD VITALITY . UM, THERE'S A FEW THINGS FIRST THEY COULD APPLY FOR OUR CDBG FUNDING WITH THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT. THAT'S I THINK SORT OF THE FIRST PASS, BUT WE ALSO HAVE SOME FUNDING AVAILABLE THROUGH HFC. THEY'VE GIVEN SOME MONEY TO THE CITY TO COVER GAPS. IF TO EITHER EXTEND THE FUNDING THAT CDBG USUALLY PROVIDES. BUT WE RUN OUT OR IF THERE'S SOME OTHER REASON WHY THEY WOULDN'T QUALIFY FOR THAT

[01:55:04]

PROTEIN, MORRIS. HMM THANK YOU, MAYOR. UM SO. I WAS LOOKING AT THE STAFF'S QUESTION ABOUT KEEPING. UM KEEPING THIS PROGRAM IN ITS CURRENT FORM WITH THE $200,000 CAP. AND THE ONLY OPTION THAT'S REALLY PRINTED HERE IS GOING UP 25% TO 250,000 THERE. OPTIONS IN BETWEEN THERE , FOR INSTANCE, 225,000 YOU KNOW MY AND I WAS LOOKING AT THIS OVER THE WEEKEND. THE FACT IS, WE'RE NOT, UH, WE'RE NOT LACKING OF PEOPLE JUMPING INTO THIS PROGRAM, EVEN WITH THE $200,000 CAP. SO IT'S GONE. WITHIN THREE MONTHS. WE DOUBLED IT. TO A HALF A MILLION DOLLARS. AND IT'S GONE WITHIN THREE MONTHS. I FRANKLY, UM, I DON'T SEE INCREASING THIS CAP. I DON'T THINK WE'RE TRYING TO I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO FISH IN BIGGER WATERS. UM AND I, BY THE WAY, I JUST SAT THERE AND DID A WANDER THROUGH MY NEIGHBORHOOD ON D CAD AND THEN THROUGH ONE OF MY OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS ACROSS THE RAILROAD TRACK ON THE CAT, AND ALMOST ALL THE HOUSES ARE UNDER 200,000, SO WE'VE GOT A LOT OF HOMES LEFT THAT COULD BENEFIT FROM THIS PROGRAM. I WOULD NOT SUPPORT INCREASING THE CAP, SO THAT'S REALLY ALL I WANTED TO SAY. APPRECIATE THE GOOD JOB.

YOU ALL ARE DOING APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON ACROSS THE CITY AND YOU'RE MAKING A BIG DIFFERENCE. I DON'T WANT TO INCREASE THE CAP, SO THANK YOU MAY JUST ONE SECOND.

THE REASON WE CHOSE 250,000 WAS TO BRING IT IN LINE WITH ABOUT AS MANY HOMES AS WERE ELIGIBLE LAST YEAR. THAT'S THE ONLY REASON IF YOU WANTED TO KEEP THAT LEVEL, THEN YOU WOULD INCREASE IT TO THE 250,000. BUT THAT WAS THAT'S WHERE THAT NUMBER CAME FROM. OKAY HANG ON.

I'VE GOT A LOT OF FOLKS GETTING IN AND GETTING OUT OF THE QUEUE. VERY GOOD COUNSELOR. WILLIAMS YES. THANK YOU. VERY THANK YOU ALL FOR THE PRESENTATION I AND ON THE CAP ISSUE. I DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH WITH RAISING IT. UM AND MANICURED WOODS. UM. IT'S UH, I CAN'T THINK OF A HOUSE NOW AND I HOUSES WOULD BE DESCRIBED AS A MODEST NEIGHBORHOOD, ALL RIGHT. UM YOU CAN'T FIND ONE THAT'S BEEN BEEN APPRAISED UNDER $200,000. THAT'S THAT'S A LAW FLOOR. I'M KNOWING YOU. YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T FIND ONE. AND SO I THINK I THINK THIS AT LEAST AND SCOTT YOU YOU ENTERED MY QUESTION BY BY SAYING WE'RE NOT NECESSARY, INCREASING THE VOLUME, RIGHT? ACTIVITY, RIGHT? THE WELL, THE ACTIVITY HAS REMAINED PRETTY STEADY AS FAR AS THE APPLICATIONS COMING IN RIGHT, RIGHT, BUT I THINK IT'S FOR THE RAISING THE CAP DOES IS GIVE PEOPLE THE OPPORTUNITY WHO NORMALLY WOULD NOT HAVE EVEN SOUTH. THE PROGRAM. THE OPPORTUNITY AT LEAST TO SEEK OUT IF THEY NEED TO YOUR YOUR APPROVAL. CONFIRMATION CRITERIA WILL REMAIN THE SAME CORRECT.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SUGGESTING IS AND AS LONG AS THAT REMAINS THE SAME. THEN YOU APPLY THAT CRITERIA. IT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE. STILL USE CRITERIA, BUT I THINK THE MORE OF OUR RESIDENTS SAID WE CAN GIVE THIS OPPORTUNITY. THE BETTER. WE ARE WITH PROGRAM. YOU KNOW, AND ONCE WE REACH THAT CAP, WE REACHED THE CAMP. BUT BUT THIS THIS JUST IN LARGEST THE OPPORTUNITY FOR CONSTITUENTS, SO I TOTALLY SUPPORT THAT THERE'S BECAUSE I DON'T I KNOW VERY FEW NEIGHBORHOODS IN GARLAND. THAT YOU CAN FIND HOMES. UNDER $200,000. I MEAN, YOU DRIVE AROUND THE CITY. SO I JUST THINK THAT'S JUST WIDENS. YOU OPPORTUNITIES FOR MORE RESIDENTS TO SEEK OUT AND YOU GUYS HAVE THE GUIDELINES AND PARAMETERS ON WHICH MAKING THE CRITERIA SO I'M ALL FOR GIVING FOLKS THE ACKNOWLEDGING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE TO SEEK OUT THE PROGRAM, SO I FULLY SUPPORT THAT CAN THANK YOU REASON NIGHTCAP. THANK YOU, MAYOR. OKAY? ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. BECAUSE WE'RE HEDRICK. THANK YOU, MR CHAIR. I AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS. THAT'S CAPTAINS BE RAISED. YOU'VE SEEN PRICES ON HOMES GONE UP, AND THAT'S THE NUMBER ONE COMPLAINT

[02:00:05]

COUNCILOR LOOK. I WOULD ALSO PREFER TO SEE THE NUMBERS STAY AS IT IS. THANK YOU. MHM. AND COUNSELOR BEST. THANK YOU. IN LIGHT OF THE INCREASE IN MEDIAN HOME VALUES, I THINK AN INCREASE UM. AN ADJUSTMENT IS IN ORDER. I THINK IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY NEED TO GO UP TO 2 50 THOUGH I'D BE I'D BE SUPPORTIVE OF 2 25. OR KEEPING IT AT THE CURRENT 200. THANK YOU. OKAY? ALRIGHT, WE'VE CLEARED THE Q GIVE YOU MY EXAMPLE UM, WHAT IS WITH WITH PROPERTY VALUE ESCALATIONS IN THIS PROGRAM? I WILL TELL YOU I LIVE IN PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST TYPICAL SEVENTIES STYLE GARLAND NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WE HAVE, AND WE HAVE A LOT OF THEM AND MINE IS AS AVERAGE AND TYPICAL, UM AS THEY COME, AND THESE HOUSES ARE NOW REACHING 50 YEARS OLD. YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE EVER GONNA START THROWING UP HISTORICAL MARKERS IN ALL OF THESE, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THESE SEVENTIES SPRAWL NEIGHBORHOODS, BUT IT'S HAPPENING AND WHAT WHAT IS HAPPENING IS WITH THE ESCALATION OF PROPERTY VALUES THAT THAT IS A THAT IS A HUGE PORTION OF THE HOUSING HERE IN GARLAND, ARE THOSE 70 SPRAWL NEIGHBORHOODS AND WHAT IS HAPPENING IS. AND I'LL SAY I'LL USE THE TERM WE KEEP GETTING PUSHED OUT OF THE PROGRAM. AT THE LOWER LEVELS ARE OUR HOMES THOSE HOMES IN THE IN THOSE STYLE NEIGHBORHOODS AND AGAIN, THERE'S A LOT OF THEM KEEP GETTING PUSHED OUT OF THE PROGRAM BECAUSE OF OUR HOME VALUE INCREASES AND THE CAPS. UM SO AH, I WILL ABSOLUTELY BE SUPPORTING IT BECAUSE I KNOW YES , I UNDERSTAND THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF THE PROGRAM, BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND GETTING AHEAD OF ALLOWING PEOPLE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET AHEAD OF, UH SOME OF THAT DECLINE IN THOSE HOUSES. AH SO I WILL BE IN SUPPORTIVE, RAISING THE CAP MAYOR PRO TIM MORRIS. THANK YOU, MAYOR. UM LIKE I SAID AT THE BEGINNING, I'M NOT IN SUPPORT OF GOING UP TO 2 50 TO 25. WHAT'S THE NUMBER? UM AND I THINK COUNCILMAN, UM VAST MENTIONED THAT I COULD SUPPORT AN INCREASE OF THAT SIZE, JUST IN DEFERENCE TO THE FACT THAT WE'VE HAD A LOT OF HOMES. UM SKYROCKET IN VALUE, BUT GIVEN WHERE THIS PROGRAM STARTED. I STILL WOULD LIKE TO SEE US, UM, BASICALLY LET LOWER VALUED HOMES AND HOMEOWNERS THAT, UM. R N CDBG AREAS AND SIMILAR AREAS PRETTY MUCH HAVE HAVE SOME ADVANTAGES THERE TO ACCESSING THIS MONEY, SO I WILL I WILL I WOULD SUPPORT TO 25. I WOULD NOT SUPPORT TO 50. ARE WE DOING OUTREACH IN THOSE AREAS TO PROMOTE THIS PROGRAM IN THE CDBG AREAS THAT WERE WE, UM SO THE FIRST YEAR? UH WE DIDN'T IT WAS BRAND NEW, AND WE SORT OF DID A SOFT LAUNCH IN A PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD. BUT ONCE WE PROMOTED IN GARLAND CITY PRESS THE MONEY WAS GONE THAT MONTH.

UM SINCE THEN, WE HAVEN'T REALLY DONE MUCH PROMOTION AT ALL. AND IT'S STILL ALRIGHT. WE STILL SATURATED WITH WITH WITH THE INPUT TONIGHT. UM. I WOULD HAVE TO IMAGINE THERE THERE HAS TO BE SOME VALUE AND DOUBLING BACK TO THOSE AREAS, UM AND PUSHING, PUSHING THIS INFORMATION OUT. UM AND THAT WAY WE CAN DEFINITIVELY SAY UM, THAT THAT IF WE PROMOTED IT IN THIS AREA, AND IF WE DON'T

[02:05:09]

AND AT THE TIME THEY WERE TOP OF THE LINE PURCHASES. A. I MEAN, YOU GOT ONE OF THOSE WITH THE ONE CAR GARAGE DRIVEWAY, YOU KNOW, IN THE BACKYARD AND OFFENSE. I MEAN, YOU WERE AMERICAN DREAM, THE ALL AMERICAN DREAM. YOU KNOW, AND THAT WAS SAME NEIGHBORHOODS NOW. YOU KNOW, HAVE A LOT OF THOSE NEEDS THAT HAVE BEEN PRESENTED HERE TONIGHT. BUT THOSE FOLKS CAN'T THEY CAN'T PARTICIPATE IN THIS PROGRAM. AND THEY GET THE QUESTION. WHY? WHY CAN'T WE? SO THAT'S YEAH. SO THAT'S WHY I WANT TO SEE SOME INCREASE. YOU KNOW IF WE WANT TO SPREAD THE DIFFERENCE, I'M GOING TO 2 TO 25. BUT I THINK DEFINITELY WE NEED TO DO THAT. TO GIVE THOSE FOLK IN. MY DISTRICT IS THE ONLY DISTRICT THAT HAVE HAVE THOSE DEVELOPMENTS SO THAT WE CAN GIVE THOSE PEOPLE WHO FEEL THAT THEY HAVE BEEN MARKETED OUT OF THIS. AN OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE.

SO I'M GOOD WITH THE 2 25 IF THAT'S WILL OF THE COUNCIL. THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANK YOU.

DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM SMITH. UM. IF WE WOULDN'T MIND PICKING THIS BACK UP IN TWO WEEKS, I'D REALLY LIKE TO SEE COUNCILMAN LOOKS IDEAS FLUSHED OUT. SEE WHAT THOSE NUMBERS MIGHT LOOK LIKE.

AND I WOULD EVEN BE WILLING TO SAY HEY, IF WE'RE GOING TO DEDICATE A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE TO CDBG EARLIER G AREAS, I WOULD BE FINE FOLLOWING THE MEAN OR THE MEDIAN HOME VALUE AS OUR CUT OFF POINT IN GENERAL. HMM. BECAUSE I THINK WE ACCOMPLISHED OUR GOALS THAT WAY, BUT I DON'T NEED SOME TIME TO MESS WITH THE NUMBERS AND PLAN ANOTHER PRESENTATION, SO I'D BE WILLING TO TABLE THIS FOR NOW. I THINK THAT'S GOOD, BECAUSE I WILL TELL YOU, UM. THE 2 25 NUMBER. UM. THE 2 25 NUMBER

[02:10:12]

WELL, IF THIS IS A FAIRLY ARE YOU I'M HEARING FROM YOU THAT THIS IS A FAIRLY STRAIGHTFORWARD THING. YOU JUST MARK. MARK HALF. OKAY SO DO WE EVEN NEED TO TABLE THIS OR IF THIS IF THIS IS THE POLICY DECISION, THEN YOU DON'T NEED ANY FURTHER THINKING FURTHER FROM US TO MAKE THAT DECISION THAT WE CAN. WE CAN IN FACT, HOW ABOUT WE COULD DO THAT WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS AND MAYBE SEND SOMETHING OUT? UM FINALIZE IT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BUT POLICY WISE, I THINK WE'RE GOOD. DON'T THINK I WOULD RATHER IT COME BACK HERE AND WE I DON'T I DON'T WANT US TO AGREE TO THIS BY EMAIL. UM SO SORRY. MATTER OF FACT, I DON'T THINK OUR CITY ATTORNEY WANTS US TO AGREE TO THIS BY EMAILS FROM THE MOTION. HE'S MAKING ME ACROSS THE ROOM. SO LET'S GO BACK.

LET'S LET'S BRING THIS BACK TWO WEEKS. LET'S HAVE SOME HARD NUMBERS. SOME HARD DATA. UM SOME SOME PROMOTIONAL IDEAS. UM AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, REALLY PUT SOME SERIOUS THOUGHT TO THE TO THE HOW LONG THAT WINDOW IS OPEN FOR THOSE CDBG GRANTED FIRE OR AREAS A COUNSELOR WILLIAMS. AND SCOTT , WILL YOU COME BACK THAT SAME CHART? WHAT WHAT DID THAT TOP LINE IS GONNA LOOK LIKE WHEN YOU COME BACK WITH YOUR PIECE. SURE. OKAY, OKAY, OKAY. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD. BUT I WILL TELL YOU, UH, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS. PEOPLE HAVE WANTED THIS PROGRAM FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER BEING INVOLVED IN THE CITY OF GARLAND AND I AM. I'M EXCEPTIONALLY PLEASED, UM, THAT THAT THE FUNDS DO RUN OUT IN THREE MONTHS BECAUSE AGAIN, WE HAVE PUT IT OUT THERE. UM, AND SO I'M VERY, VERY HAPPY WITH THAT. UM, SO THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.
