GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO THE FEBRUARY 20TH 2023 WORK SESSION FOR THE GARLAND CITY COUNCIL.
THE FIRST ITEM ON OUR AGENDA TONIGHT, ADAM ONE IS PUBLIC COMMENTS ON WORK SESSION ITEMS. I DON'T BELIEVE WE HAVE ANY SPEAKERS SIGNED UP THIS EVENING. WE DID NOT ALL RIGHT. WE WILL
[2. Consider the Consent Agenda]
MOVE ON TO ITEM TO CONSIDER. EXCUSE ME. CONSIDER THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR TOMORROW NIGHT. I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY REQUESTS FOR ANYTHING TO BE PULLED. BUT OBVIOUSLY THE MORE ADVANCED[3. Written Briefings]
NOTICE IF THERE IS SOMETHING THE BETTER MOVING ON TO ITEM THREE WRITTEN BRIEFINGS ITEM THREE A FY 22 23 BUDGET AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE. I BELIEVE COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS. YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ON THAT, SIR. GO AHEAD. THANK YOU. MAYOR MAY I DON'T HAVE I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. UM BUT I ASKED THE MANAGER IF HE COULD GIVE, UH I HAVE LEVEL OVERVIEW. JUST OVERVIEW OF BUDGET AMENDMENTS WITH THE NUMBERS AND THAT HOW THE PROCESS OPERATES, UH, APARTMENT WE FOR OUR PUBLIC, SO I'M GONNA TURN IT. I WANT TO PITCH THE BALL TO OUR CITY MANAGER, SIR. TONE YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. UM SO COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS WANTED TO REALLY JUST GIVE A HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW OF THE BUDGET PROCESS BUDGET AMENDMENT PROCESS. SO PER CITY COUNCIL POLICY, OF COURSE COUNCIL APPROVES A BUDGET UM MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT BUDGET CHANGES. UM SOME AT SOME POINT DURING THE YEAR. IN FACT, WHAT HAPPENS IS YOU'LL SEE ON MANY OF OUR PROJECTS THAT THEY DON'T THEY DON'T FOLLOW OUR FISCAL YEAR CALENDAR. THINGS DON'T JUST HAPPEN TO FINISH ON SEPTEMBER 30TH AND THEN RESTART ON OCTOBER 1ST AND SO UM, WITH OUR BUDGET AMENDMENT. MOST OF THEM ARE CARRY OVER PROJECTS SO FUNDING THAT NEEDS TO BE CARRIED OVER FROM ONE FISCAL YEAR TO THE NEXT . UM, SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE WORKING ON THOSE PROJECTS. THERE'S ALSO PURCHASE ORDERS THAT REMAIN, UM, HANGING OUT THERE FROM SEPTEMBER 30TH TO OCTOBER 1ST. AND SO IN FACT, THAT'S THE BULK OF OUR BUDGET AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE IS ENCUMBERED FUNDS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN SPENT YET. SO, FOR EXAMPLE. UM WE'VE ORDERED WE'VE ORDERED NEW POLICE VEHICLES. AH THEY HAVEN'T SHOWN UP YET. SO WE HAVEN'T ACTUALLY PAID FOR THEM YET. WE STILL NEED THE FUNDS TO BE ENCUMBERED AND CARRIED OVER FROM ONE FISCAL YEAR TO THE NEXT , SO YOU'LL SEE THAT WITH WITH BUDGET AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE UM AND THEN, OF COURSE, UH, SOMETIMES THERE'S EXPENSES THAT WE DON'T ANTICIPATE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. UM ONE EXAMPLE IN HERE IS OUR ANIMAL SERVICE POSITIONS FOR NEW ANIMAL SERVICE POSITIONS THAT HAVE BEEN ADDED SINCE THE FISCAL YEAR STARTED TO RAMP UP OUR STAFFING AT THE AT THE ANIMAL SHELTER. UM NOT SOMETHING WE ANTICIPATED BUT WAS A COUNCIL PRIORITY, AND WE WANTED TO FUND IT SO USING, UM, BASICALLY A EITHER FUN BALANCE WILL FUND SOME OF THESE ITEMS THAT ARE IN THE BUDGET AMENDMENT. EXCESS FUND BALANCE. UM OR WE HAD REVENUES THAT WERE GREATER THAN EXPENSES. YOU KNOW, FISCAL YEAR AND SO WE HAVE EXCESS FUNDS TO PUT TOWARDS THOSE THINGS. UM SO THAT'S KIND OF THE OVERVIEW THERE AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR WE HAVE ABOUT BUDGET AMENDMENT. SOMETIMES IT'S TWO OR THREE TIMES JUST DEPENDING ON HOW THE FISCAL YEAR GOES. BUT IN GENERAL , THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE LOOK AT. IT'S EITHER PROJECTS THAT WERE APPROVED BUT NOT FINISHED IN A FISCAL YEAR. PURCHASE ORDERS THAT ENCUMBERED FUNDS FROM ONE FISCAL YEAR THAT WE NEED TO CARRY OVER TO THE NEXT AND THEN, UM, EXPENSES THAT WERE JUST UNANTICIPATED WHEN WE CREATED THE BUDGET. SO WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THE COUNCIL MAY HAVE OKAY? THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANKS, SIR. OKAY VERY GOOD. I HAVE NO ONE IN THE QUEUE. ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO ITEM THREE B. CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEES PENDING ITEMS LIST. EVERYBODY'S SEEN THE LIST WE'VE GOT, UH SEVERAL COMMITTEES THAT HAVE NO ITEMS PENDING AND I'M SURE SOME COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO ARE GOING OFF COUNCIL WHO ARE GOING TO TRY TO CLEAR THE DECKS AS BEST THEY CAN. OR MAYBE NOT. YEAH ALRIGHT, THAT WILL MOVE. US[4.a. North Garland Library Facade and Site Improvement Partnership]
MOVE ON TO VERBAL BRIEFINGS. ITEM FOUR. FIRST UP IS ITEM FOR A NORTH GARLAND LIBRARY, FACADE AND SITE IMPROVEMENT PARTNERSHIPS. MM HMM. WOW, WE NEED A BIGGER TABLE.[00:05:09]
THE COUNCIL. I'M GONNA KICK THIS ONE OFF, AND WE HAVE A LARGE GROUP HERE TONIGHT, BECAUSE, UH , IT TOOK THIS PARTNERSHIP TO PULL THIS PROJECT TOGETHER. WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO BE THIS POINT BEFORE I HANDED OVER TO THEM FOR THE DETAILS. I WANTED TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE CONTEXT. SO THE IN 2018, THE COUNCIL APPROVED A NEIGHBORHOOD VITALITY PROJECT. TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE ENTRYWAY IN A KUMAR CREEK NEIGHBORHOOD AS WELL AS THE NORTH GARLAND AVENUE CORRIDOR.UM AND THEN ONE OF THE BIG ELEMENTS OF THAT WAS THE SHOPPING CENTER AT 38 45 NORTH GARLAND AVENUE. SO UM, WE WERE ADVANCING CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENTS AND AH, WE WERE STARTING TO HIT SOME SOME BARRIERS ON THE FACADE IMPROVEMENT IN WORKING WITH UM, THE PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP THERE AND THEN COVID HIT AND THAT SEEMED LIKE A REALLY BAD TIME TO BE PURSUING RETAIL INVESTMENT.
UM SO WE PUT PAUSE PLACE PAUSE ON THE FACADE IMPROVEMENT PORTION OF THAT PROJECT CONTINUED ON WITH THE OTHER CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENTS. ANYWAY AT THE BEGINNING OF 22. WE SAID, OKAY, WE FEEL LIKE, UM THINGS ARE STABILIZING, RETURNING TO NORMAL. SCOTT AND I GOT TOGETHER AND SAID, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO DIFFERENTLY? ON THE FACADE. UH PARTNERSHIP TO ADVANCE THIS FORWARD AND WE CAME UP WITH TWO THINGS THAT ARE KEY. I BELIEVE WE BROUGHT IN AN ARCHITECT AND DEVELOP CONCEPT PLANS AND GOT AN ESTIMATE OF PROBABLE COST. BUT THE SECOND IMPORTANT THING WE DID WAS WE BROUGHT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. INTO THE DISCUSSIONS. AND UM I BELIEVE WITH THEIR PROPOSED INCENTIVES. THAT BORE FRUIT WITH THE PRIVATE INVESTMENT INCREASED FOURFOLD.
SO WITH THAT TURNED OVER TO THEM WITH DETAILS. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US HOSTING US TONIGHT. UM I'M SCOTT BOLLINGER. NEIGHBORHOOD VITALITY, UM, WITH KAREN ARCHIBALD LIBRARY DIRECTOR , SCHUSTER, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR AND BECKY KING, MANAGING DIRECTOR, NEVER VITALITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACTUALLY SAID THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING. WE'RE SO HAPPY TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU TONIGHT. UM NEVER VITALITY WAS LOOKING AT THIS. UM THE SEAL A BRICK ROAD HERE WITH KUMAR CREEK, SORT OF TO THE SOUTHERN END ALL THE WAY UP TO ALL THE WAY UP TO THE SHOPPING CENTER AND THAT SPLIT IT, ARAPAHOE, LOOKING A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS. PEDESTRIAN SAFETY WAS ONE. YOU KNOW THAT THAT AREA AROUND THE SCHOOLS AROUND WINTER'S PARK GET REALLY, REALLY GETS CONGESTED WITH PEDESTRIANS. UM THE FACADE IMPROVEMENTS? UM LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW SOME OF THE OLD OUTDATED UM, FACADE IN THE IN THE AREA OF THINGS THAT WE COULD AFFECT RIGHT AWAY ENHANCEMENTS OR ONE THAT, UM, REALLY BRING A LOT OF LIFE TO THE AREA. IF THEY'RE DONE WELL AND SHOW THAT THERE'S THIS AREA IS CARED FOR, AND MAINTAINED THE IMPROVED SIGNAGE AND REALLY GATEWAY IMPRESSIONS.
YOU KNOW THIS. I CAN IMAGINE A LOT OF FOLKS YOU KNOW THAT THAT LIVE HERE ARE JUST VISITING OR, YOU KNOW, COME DOWN NORTH GARLAND AVENUE AND SEE ALL THE STUFF TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT AND THEY TURN LEFT. LEFT AND THAT YOU'RE KIND OF GETTING INTO THE COMMUNITY PART OF GARLAND.
THERE, YOU'RE GETTING INTO THE PARKS AND THE SCHOOLS AND THE LIBRARY AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
WHAT'S THEIR IMPRESSION AS THEY MAKE THAT TURN TO THE LEFT, SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS WE WERE LOOKING AT, UM, IN ORDER TO MEET SOME OF THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT THE KRUMER CREEK NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING WITH THEM NORTH GARLAND AVENUE BRIDGE. SOME PEDESTRIAN RIGHT AWAY ENHANCEMENTS AND WHAT WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT OF THE STUFF WE BROUGHT UP INITIALLY, AND I BELIEVE IT'S NOVEMBER OF 2017. COUNCIL SAW SOME CONCEPT THINGS THERE. NONE OF THIS WAS DECIDED BACK THEN IT WAS JUST SORT OF AN IDEA. DO YOU DO YOU? WOULD YOU LIKE US TO PURSUE THIS? AND YOU DID? SO WE MET WITH, UM MOSTLY ANNA MARIA. BUT UM, WE'RE WORKING WITH THE KUMAR CREEK NEIGHBORHOOD FOR JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT SOME KIND OF ENTRYWAY FEATURES SOMETHING FOR THEM. THERE'S THEY DON'T HAVE A LOT OF COMMON AREA, THOUGH, IS ONE BIG PROBLEM. THEY ALSO HAVE SOME SIGHTLINE ISSUES UTILITY ISSUES ALONG CHRIS THINGS LIKE THAT. SO WE WERE. WE WERE ABLE TO INSTALL A, UM ANY MONUMENT SIGN FOR THEM AT IDLE WOOD AND BELTLINE, AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THEM. UM, WE'VE FLOATED SOME IDEAS LIKE MAYBE, UM, TRAFFIC SIGNAL WRAPS OR THINGS LIKE THAT, JUST TO SORT OF BRING ATTENTION TO THAT NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE BRIDGE, WHICH I'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF COMPLIMENTS ABOUT. THANK YOU, UM WE? WE LOOKED AT SOME MORE NATURAL MATERIALS INSTEAD OF THE STEEL AND CONCRETE, UM, NEW SIDEWALK AND THAT THAT BRINGS THAT UP TO CURRENT MOBILITY STANDARDS, THE PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING AND SOME UNIQUE RAILING . THIS IS THE PICTURES FROM THE FOUNDRY LOCAL FOUNDRY THAT MADE IT. WE HAVE TWO PATTERNS THAT ALTERNATE ON THE RAILING ALONG NORTH GARLAND AVENUE. AND THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE SO REALLY GREAT,
[00:10:07]
YOU KNOW, KIND OF CORRIDOR. UM EXPERIENCE AS YOU'RE AS YOU'RE GOING THROUGH NORTH GARLAND AVENUE, SOMETHING WE WANTED TO FOCUS ON AND WE'RE ABLE TO DO. EXCUSE ME. AH, SO. WE UH WE'RE SPEAKING WITH DSG N AS THE ARCHITECTURE FIRM WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH SINCE LAST SUMMER.THEY HAVE DONE LIBRARIES BEFORE THEY JUST FINISHED THE VICTORY MEADOWS LIBRARY AND THE CITY OF DALLAS, WHICH IS REALLY BEAUTIFUL. UM SO THEY'RE THEY'RE ON BOARD TO CREATE ALL THE EVERYTHING ALL THE CONCEPT DRAWINGS THAT CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS ALL THAT STUFF AND WE'RE HOPING THAT THEY'RE THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH DONE, AND I WILL SAY 90 PLUS PERCENT.
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS ARE DONE. SO WE'RE HOPING TO GO OUT FOR BID THIS QUARTER FOR THAT. SO WE'RE HERE TO BRIEF YOU ON THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUNDS THAT ARE BEING USED FOR THAT, AND JUST SOME OF THE FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION FROM MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS, INCLUDING LIBRARY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. AND THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TODAY, AND UNFORTUNATELY WHEN UM, I KNOW BECKY WAS REALLY INVOLVED IN THE IMAGE INITIATIVES, SO I KIND OF GOT SOME OF THAT. AND A LOT OF THE WORDS THAT COME UP, YOU KNOW, CONCRETE, OLD, OUTDATED DRAFT A LOT OF THOSE KIND OF NEGATIVE QUALIFIER THAT THIS THIS KIND OF I THINK WE SEE SOME OF THAT HERE AND IT'S NOT THE LIBRARY'S FAULT, OF COURSE, BUT WE WANT TO USE THAT AS AN OPPORTUNITY. WELL WE CAN LEVERAGE THAT BECAUSE WE ARE CO OWNERS OF THIS, UM OF THIS RETAIL CENTER. HOW CAN WE LEVERAGE THAT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE? THIS IS THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN THAT THAT DSG N CAME UP WITH, AND WE HELP FACILITATE . UM ONE THING I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT HERE IS THE PEDESTRIAN. THIS IS THIS SHOWS SOME OF THE PEDESTRIAN SAFETY THAT WE'RE PROPOSING. GETTING PEDESTRIANS SAFELY ACROSS NORTH GARLAND AVENUE AND RAISE DRIVER ALERTNESS WITH THOSE COLORS BUT ALSO YOU KNOW, IT'S BOTH WAYS. IT'S FROM THE RETAIL CENTER OUT TO THE SCHOOLS, BUT MOST OF THAT TRAFFIC IS FROM ACROSS WINTERS PARK AND IN THE SCHOOLS TO EITHER THE RETAIL CENTER OR CONTINUING ALONG APOLLO TO THE HOUSES AND MULTI FAMILY ON THE OTHER SIDE. AH THIS IS SORT OF A BIRD'S EYE VIEW THAT I WANTED TO SHOW HOW THE, UM THE PLANTERS AND THE MEDIA LANDSCAPING REALLY KIND OF BREAKS UP THE MONOTONY OF THE CONCRETE MONOTONY. THERE SOFTENS SOME OF THE TEXTURES, UM , AND MAKES IT NOT SUCH A, UH, YOU KNOW, PARKING LOTS ARE SOME OF THE WORST PLACES ON EARTH. USUALLY WHEN YOU'RE IN A PARKING LOT, THE FIRST THING I DO IS GET OUT AND GET TO WHERE YOU'RE GOING. SO MAYBE MAKE THAT EXPERIENCE A LITTLE BETTER, UM, EVENTUALLY GET SOME SOME LANDSCAPING IN THOSE AREAS TO HELP WITH THAT. AH THIS SHOWS THE FROM THE SORT OF THE NORTH SIDE UM ON NORTH GARLAND AND YOU CAN SEE THE LIBRARY SIGN IS INTENTIONALLY TAKEN FROM CENTER TO OFF CENTER AND THAT'S FOR A LOT OF REASONS. BUT THE MAIN ONE IS AND WE GOT THIS FEEDBACK FROM A LOT OF PEOPLE WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING ALONG NORTH GARLANDS ARE HEADING SOUTH. YOU SORT OF DON'T REALLY REALIZE THERE'S A LIBRARY THERE UNTIL YOU'RE ALREADY PASSED IT RIGHT. THIS KIND OF GIVES YOU A BETTER VISIBILITY FROM FROM THE STREET AND JUST, WE THINK MAKES IT LOOK REALLY GREAT. UM, THE RIGHT OF WAY. ENHANCEMENTS HERE. NONE OF THAT'S FINAL. BUT AGAIN, THE IDEA IS, WE'RE ALSO INCREASED THE RIGHT OF WAY. UH EXPERIENCE OF THAT AGAIN. IT'S NOT JUST A CONCRETE SEE OUT THERE. IT'S SO THIS IS A NEAT PLACE WITH LIFE AND COLOR. AND ALL THAT. SO THIS IS SORT OF VIEW OF THE ROOF SCREEN AND SOME OF THE SEATING AND LANDSCAPING. UM, THAT WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING? AND I JUST WANT TO JUMP IN REAL QUICK. WE'RE THE LIBRARY IS EXTREMELY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT AND HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS, UM, PARTNER WITH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND NEIGHBORHOOD VITALITY ON THIS PROJECT. UM THIS PROJECT AND SPECIFICALLY WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE ON THE SCREEN CHECKS OFF SOME BIG ACCOMPLISHMENTS FROM OUR LIBRARY MASTER PLAN THAT IT REALLY LOOKS AT UPGRADING THE FACADE OF THE NORTH GARLAND BRANCH LIBRARY AND TRYING TO, UM, PROVIDE SOME TYPE OF OUTDOOR READING AREA OR PROGRAM AREA FOR THE LIBRARY, EVEN IF IT'S WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF SPACE TO BE ABLE TO, UH, TO CREATE THAT WITH AT NORTH, BUT WE HAVE SOME HERE WITH THE HELP OF DSG DSG N THE OTHER THING I WANT TO POINT OUT. THANK YOU. IS THAT THE LIBRARY SIGN IS REPLACED AND IT WILL FULLY FUNCTION. VERY THE HEADLINE THERE. SORRY UM, AND THAT IT'S REALLY BRIGHTLY COLORED. YOU HAVE THE SCREEN. IT REALLY SHOWCASES THE LIBRARY'S FOOTPRINT IN THIS PARTICULAR SHOPPING CENTER. YEAH, THIS, UM . THAT THAT POP OF COLOR. I THINK THE OFF CENTER THE SCREEN
[00:15:02]
ALL THAT COMBINED THE SEATING THAT THIS REALLY MAKES IT A LOT MORE INVITING THAN I THINK. WHAT IS THERE TODAY? YOU'LL NOTICE ON THIS ONE TO THE COLUMNS ARE SORT OF BOXED OUT RIGHT NOW THEY'RE AROUND. WE SHOW THEM BOXED OUT HERE AND, UM AND PUTTING SOME KIND OF ARTISTIC DESIGN. WE'RE THINKING MAYBE A VINYL WRAP THAT WOULD BE COST EFFECTIVE AND WERE ORIGINALLY ENVISIONING CLADDING IN STONE. BUT WITH THE VINYL WRAP. IT'S NOT ONLY MORE COST EFFECTIVE, BUT IT ALSO PRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR MORE COLOR AND MORE ART THAT WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR IN SOMETHING LIKE THIS. SO UM YEAH, THAT'S GREAT TO HEAR HIM, BUT IT MEETS YOUR NEEDS. UM FROM THIS SIDE. THIS IS MORE THE SOUTH SIDE ANGLE. YOU CAN SEE HOW THE PEDESTRIANS GO IN, AND IT'S MORE OF A, UH, IT'S SORT OF DIRECTING THEM WITHOUT A SIGN DIRECTING THEM HOW TO GET INTO FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER AND INTO THE RETAIL CENTER, BUT ALSO WANTED TO POINT OUT YEAH, THE THAT IT'S LIKE A WING WALL OVER THERE KIND OF NEXT TO THE SEATING. THERE'S ONE OF THOSE ON EACH SIDE. UM IF YOU KNOW CURRENTLY THE I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT'S CALLED. IT'S MADE OUT OF THE MATERIAL THAT THE LIKE THE SCREENING WALL ON HIGHWAY 78 IS MADE OUT OF IT. IT'S WHATEVER THAT'S CALLED. IT'S MADE OUT OF THAT. AND RIGHT NOW, IT'S JUST THEY'RE JUST PAINTED. UM, THEY PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF SCREENING FOR WHAT'S BEHIND, BUT THE BUT AGAIN IF THERE'S ENOUGH FOR BUDGET WE WOULD LIKE WE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO INVITE MORE COLOR AND ART LIKE WE TRY TO DO IN A LOT OF OUR PROJECTS. OF COURSE, SIGNAGE IS A BIG ONE. UM THIS IS WE HAVE. WE HAVE A LOT OF OLD, OUTDATED SIGNAGE AND YOU KNOW THE SIGN THAT YOUR ADVERTISEMENT THAT IS YOUR THAT YOUR SHINGLE THAT THAT THIS IS THIS IS THE KIND OF PLACE YOU'RE COMING INTO . SO THAT WAS THAT WAS ANOTHER PART OF THIS. ON THE APOLLO SIDE. THIS ONE'S THIS ONE'S. WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO HERE. THIS IS JUST A PLACEHOLDER. BUT UM WE KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF VISIBILITY ON THAT SIDE TO BOTH PEDESTRIAN AND VEHICULAR, SO TRYING TO FIGURE OUT SOME WAY TO HIGHLIGHT THAT SIDE AS WELL. BUT BECAUSE IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW AS WELL LIT OR, YOU KNOW, AS VISIBLE FROM FROM FROM NORTH GARLAND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE SOLUTION TO THAT YET, BUT, UM WE HAVE WE HAVE SOME IDEAS, AND WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD THAT IN. SO THE THIS IS THE NUMBERS. THIS THE BASE SCOPE OF WORK. UM IS NOT SHARED 50 50 BECAUSE SOME OF THE THINGS LIKE THE ROOF SCREEN, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT'S JUST THE LIBRARY PART. UM SO THE BASE SCOPE WOULD INCLUDE WE TRY TO MAKE THAT AS FULLY LOADED NUMBERS POSSIBLE AND CONTINGENCIES, ESCALATION, INFLATION, ALL THAT STUFF, BUT WE WON'T KNOW FOR CERTAIN UNTIL WE GO OUT UNTIL WE GET BACK THE BID, BUT THE BASE. SCOPE OF WORK IS ABOUT 300,000. AND THEN WE HAVE ENHANCEMENT OPTIONS FOR BOTH THE CITY AND, UM, AND FOR PARTS REAL ESTATE THAT MAKE THE TOTAL FOR CITY OF GARLAND, 381 302,000 AND FOR PART REAL ESTATE ABOUT 287,000. THE BID DOCUMENTS WILL INCLUDE WHAT THEY CALL ADD ALTERNATES, WHICH IS YOU KNOW YOU WERE YOU TRY TO GET AS MUCH OF THE YOU TRY TO GET THE BASE SCOPE OF WORK DONE, AND THEN BASED ON THOSE BIDS, TRY TO PICK HOW MANY OF THE OF THAT AD ALTERNATES YOU CAN GET DONE WITH THE BUDGET YOU HAVE LEFT. UM AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, THE THIS COST ESTIMATE DOES NOT INCLUDE SOMETHING REQUESTED FROM PART REAL ESTATE, WHICH WAS THE EXTERIOR SECURITY SYSTEM. OKAY GOOD EVENING. IT'S ALWAYS BY MYSELF. IT'S NICE TO HAVE THIS TEAM, BUT IT'S BEEN FUN PROJECT . UM SO DEFINITELY THIS IS A PARTNERSHIP WORKING WITH DIFFERENT DEPARTMENT BUT ALSO PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNER SO IT'S BEEN FUN PROCESS. BUT I AM VERY PLEASED THAT I CAN FINALLY PRESENT YOU FOR THIS AND OUR VERY FIRST FACADE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. SINCE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF TALK ABOUT FOR SOME IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. IT'S OFFICIALLY KIND OF LAUNCHED IN LAST YEAR AS A PILOT. HERE WE WERE KIND OF STILL FIGURE IT OUT. WHAT IS THE BEST AND WE WERE STILL TWEAKING , BUT, YOU KNOW, FINALLY, WE CAN, UM. START WORKING WITH THIS PROBABLY THE PROPERTY OWNERS NOW. IF YOU REMEMBER THE LAST LAST MONTH, WE PRESENT YOU THE DRAFT OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN THAT'S DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED US TO FOCUS ON ON IMPROVEMENT OF THE PHYSICAL APPEARANCE OF THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY WORKING WITH THE PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNER. SO WE'VE BEEN TALKING. WE KIND OF SELECTED PROPERTY OWNER AREA AND WE WORK WITH THE COUPLE, PROPERTY OWNER BROKER. SO THAT WE CAN KIND OF TALK THIS PROGRAM MARKET ABOUT THIS PROGRAM, HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER. BUT AGAIN, THE GOAL IS DEFINITELY WORKING WITH THE PROPERTY, PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS AND THE REFRESH RESIDENTIAL BUILDING STOCK IN GARLAND. WE HAVE APPLICATION PROCESS AND THEN WE HAVE[00:20:02]
APPLICATION FORM ONCE THEY SUBMIT, THAT'S GOING TO BE PRETTY. WE PUT IT ON THE SCORING SYSTEM THAT'S BASED ON THE BUILDING SITE AGE, VACANCY, LOCATION AND ALSO THE PROJECT INVESTMENT QUALITY OF THE APPLICATION AND THE SCOPE OF WORK WITH THAT, UM DOPE. SO FAR WE HAVE. WE'VE BEEN WORKING 9 TO 10 PROSPECT AND WE HAVE A FULL APPLICATION. SUBMITTED. SO AGAIN. THIS FOR SOME IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM IS WE HAVE A COMMITTEE FOR SOME IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE AND IN THAT'S WITH THE BUILDING INSPECTION CALLED COMPLIANCE FACILITIES AND THE PLANNING SO WE CAN LOOK AT THE NUMBERS, BUT WE'RE NOT EXPERTISE AND DIFFERENT THINGS. BUT FOR SOME IMPROVEMENT IS NOT ABOUT HELPING A MAINTENANCE ISSUE. IT'S REALLY TALKING ABOUT FACADE IMPROVEMENT, SO WE WANTED TO ENCOURAGE THE PROPERTY OWNER TO INVEST A LITTLE BIT ON THE LANDSCAPING OR SOMETHING DIFFERENT. IT'S NOT THE MAINTENANCE ISSUE WE WANTED TO SOLVE. AND SO WITH THAT, UM WE ARE GETTING AN APPLICATION, STRENGTH AND WEAKNESS THAT THAT WE'RE TWEAKING AGAIN. BUT WE WERE VERY EXCITED. FINALLY WE ARE HERE TO PRESENT THIS NORTH GARLAND BRANCH LIBRARY SHOPPING CENTER. AGAIN AS SCOTT MENTIONED THE LOCATION, BUT DEFINITELY THIS IS THE GATEWAY TO GARLAND. IT'S PEOPLE COMING FROM GEORGE BUSH EXITING NORTH CORTLAND AVENUE TURN LEFT GOING TO THE WINTERS PARK OR GOING TO DOWNTOWN. DEFINITELY THEY'RE COMING THROUGH THIS AREA. SO DEFINITELY WORKING WITH THE SHOPPING CENTER OWNER WAS REALLY KEY THINGS. AGAIN THIS IS THE PICTURE OF THE CURRENT. SO THE OTHER SIDE THIS IS SOUTH SIDE, I GUESS. YEAH. YEP. SO ABOUT PROJECT AND SO PART OF THE REAL ESTATE. I BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE ON THIS PROPERTY SINCE 2017 OR 2018. UM THERE'S NORTH GARLAND BRANCH LIBRARY. LOCATE THERE SINCE 1992. I BELIEVE SO WE HAVE THIS EASEMENT AGREEMENT WITH THIS PROPERTY PROPERTY OWNER.AND THEN WE PUT TOGETHER A MORE YOU WITH THIS PART THE REAL ESTATE. UM SINCE 2018. SO AGAIN, THIS IS THE STATUS TOTAL PROJECT . COST IS $669,000 AND THE CITY PORTION IS 3 81. AND PROPERTY OWNER PORTION IS 2 87 AS SCOTT MENTIONED PROPERTY OWNER COMMITTED $200,000. SO WE BROUGHT TO THE FACADE IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE. WHAT THIS PROJECT LOOK LIKE AND THEN WE PUT THE SCORING TOGETHER AND EVERYBODY THAT COMMITTEE LOOKED AT IT AND THEN COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION WAS MATCHING THAT AMOUNT, SO WE LIKE TO PROPOSE TO MATCHING THIS. UH UH, FUNDING SO THAT IT'S GOING TO BE TOTAL OF $400,000 TOTAL AGAIN JUST BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW THAT'S TOTAL CONSTRUCTION COSTS WOULD BE ONCE WE GET ALL THE NUMBER AND THEN AGAIN, UM, THIS PROPERTY OWNER REQUESTED EXTRA SECURITY CAMERA AND THEN SOME SIGNAGE, SO WE'RE GONNA BE REALLY TALKING ABOUT MORE DETAIL WITH THEM. BUT WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT. UM FLEXIBILITY ON THEIR COST. SO I'LL BOOK END IT JUST TO RECAP OF WHERE THE FUNDING SOURCES ARE COMING FROM FOR THIS PROJECT. SO UM, NEIGHBORHOOD VITALITY STARTED OUT WITH C I P OF 200,000 IN 2018. USING PROBABLY 2017 NUMBERS AS WE MENTIONED LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE. WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THE COVID YEARS, SO WE GOT WITH BUDGET AND WORKED OUT WHAT THE ESCALATION WOULD BE ON THAT 200,000 WHICH WHICH RESULTED IN ADDING 100,000 TO THE PROJECT. TO COVER THE CITY SHARE OF RIGHT OF WAY.
COMMON AREA FACADE SIGNAGE. THE LIBRARY. CLP WHICH COUNCIL RECENTLY APPROVED INCLUDED THE 82,000 FOR AN ENHANCED LIBRARY BUILDING SIGN. UM AND THEN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. WE'VE PLUGGED IN THE 200,000 HERE. IT'S REALLY AN UP TO 200,000 DEPENDING ON WHERE THE PRIVATE UM THE PRIVATE INVESTORS. TOTAL SHARE OF THE COSTS COME OUT IN THE BID AND THEN PART REAL ESTATE HAS COMMITTED 200,000 FOR THEIR PORTION OF THE FACADE AND COMMON AREA SIGNAGE AND SECURITY FOR TOTAL OF UP TO 782,000. TAKE QUESTIONS. OKAY BEFORE EVERYBODY QUEUES IN SCOTT, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE OVERALL SITE PLANETS? VERY EARLY ON IN THIS. I JUST ONE THING. THERE YOU GO. OKAY SO ONE THING I JUST NOTICED IS THE CROSSING OF NORTH GARLAND. CURRENTLY THE CROSSWALK IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION. THAT'S WHERE THE CROSSING GUARDS WORK THEY BRING
[00:25:04]
, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY, IT'S KIDS COMING FROM FROM THE SCHOOLS. THEY BRING THEM ACROSS NORTH GARLAND THERE AND THEN ACROSS APOLLO, SO WHERE WE'VE GOT A CROSSWALK SHOWN IS NOT WHERE THE CROSSWALK IS SO WE MAY NEED TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT TO THAT, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE KIDS ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT, BECAUSE THAT'S THE SIDE THAT THE SCHOOLS ARE ON. SO UM, WE'LL NEED TO I JUST NOTICED THAT WE'LL NEED TO TWEAK THAT A LITTLE BIT. UM BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, PRIMARILY. YOU KNOW THE PRIMARY FOOT TRAFFIC. IS COMING FROM THE SCHOOLS IS THROUGH THERE. SO IF WE CAN LOOK AT AT HOW WE ADJUST THAT ALRIGHT. CANCER LOOK. THIS IS GREAT. I'M REALLY EXCITED. I THINK IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT'S GOING TO KICK OFF. REALLY GREAT REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR A LOT OF THE SHOPPING CENTERS AROUND, GARLAND. UM DID YOU EVER HAVE A CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH CULTURAL ARTS? ABOUT MAYBE , UM, WORKING WITH THEM TO GET MURALS PUT INTO THE SHOPPING CENTER. SO UM, THE CULTURAL ARTS DIRECTOR HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE PROJECT TEAM, SO AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE BIDDING PROCESS AND FIGURING OUT WHAT THE ACTUAL RAPS AND MURALS AND SHE WILL BE PART OF THAT PROCESS. PERFECT. THANK YOU. VERY GOOD. COUNCILOR HEDRICK. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. I AGREE WITH YOUR COMMENT ABOUT THE CROSSWALK THERE IF YOU NOTICE EVEN SHOWS ON THE SITE PLAYING THAT SIDEWALK ON THE NORTHERN SIDE OF NORTH GARLAND THERE, IT'S REALLY DEAD ENDS RIGHT THERE, AND IT'S ACTUALLY I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT SIDEWALK , MAYBE EXTENDED ALL THE WAY TO THE PARKING LOT AT WINNERS. BUT REALLY, IT DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE FROM THERE BECAUSE THE PARKING LOT ITSELF IS SO CLOSE TO THE ROADWAY THERE, BUT MY I LOVE THIS. I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT WE'RE PUTTING SOME MONEY INTO NORTHERN IRELAND BRANCH COUNCIL . IF YOU REMEMBER THE C I P. WE'RE PUTTING $10 MILLION INTO DOWNTOWN AND ANOTHER $5 MILLION INTO THE WALNUT CREEK BRANCH LIBRARY. SO I LOVE THAT. THIS LIBRARY IS GETTING US SOME IMPROVEMENTS, MUCH NEEDED EXTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS. AND I JUST WONDER ABOUT THE BIG METAL STRUCTURES OUTSIDE OF THE LIBRARY. CAN I HAVE THOSE BECAUSE MY KIDS LOVE PLAYING ON THEM? I'LL PUT THEM IN MY BACKYARD. THEY'RE YOURS. ALRIGHT I'LL BRING MY TRUCK. THANK YOU.THANK YOU, MR CAST MEMBER WILLIAMS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU ECHO THE COMMENT. UH SCOTT, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE SCRIPT, THE SLIDE THAT HAD THE MATCHING AMOUNTS ON IT? WHERE THEY HAD TO. 200,000 I THINK WE WERE AT 87 TO 59. NO. THAT WAS I DON'T THEN. YEAH BACK, SCOTT.
YEAH, RIGHT. RIGHT RIGHT THERE. OKAY WOULD YOU? WOULD YOU EXPLAIN AGAIN? OKAY. IS THERE GOING TO BE A GAP? AND IF SO? OH, WHAT'S GOING TO FEEL THAT GAP IF THERE'S A NEED TO FILL IT. IF IT'S IT, THE OWNER HAS COMMITTED TO 200,000. AH THE COMMITTEE IS RECOMMENDING 87 TO 59. WOULD YOU GO WITH THAT PIECE AGAIN? WOULD YOU EXPLAIN THAT AGAIN? BETWEEN THE COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION WITH THE OWNERS COMMITTED. MY QUESTION IS, IS THERE GOING TO BE A GAP THAT WILL STILL NEED TO BE FILLED BY SOMEBODY? IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE? I'M SORRY, SO I SHOULD HAVE PUT UP TO 200,000. THAT WAS THE FIRST SIGN IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED, SO WE'RE GOING TO BE MATCHING THAT PROPERTY OWNERS AND INVESTMENT OKAY. THIS IS STILL CONCEPTION.
I MEAN, IT'S VERY CLOSE TO THE COST. WE GOT FROM THE ARCHITECT , BUT IT IS NOT CONSTRUCTION COSTS. IT'S NOT THE ACTUAL BED CAME IN YET. SO WE HAVE STILL HAVE A LITTLE BIT, UM, ROOM. SO RIGHT NOW, THE COST RIGHT NOW IS 287,000. THAT'S THE PRIVATE OWNER PIECE. BUT WE DON'T KNOW HOW BIG COMEBACK IF IT'S GOING TO COME BACK. IT'S $130,000 EXTRA. THAT IS THE PORTION.
WE'RE GOING TO COVER THAT. SO OKAY, EXPLAINING YOUR OKAY. OKAY USED TERM UP TO THAT CLARIFIED.
I'M SORRY. I SHOULD HAVE PUT UP TO ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND ALSO A QUESTION ON THE EXTERIOR SECURITY SYSTEM. IS THAT A SHOWSTOPPER? OR CAN SOMEBODY COMING ON THAT? AND I DO AS KAREN THE IMPACT WHETHER THAT'S IT AND I OWN ON THE LIBRARY ITSELF. BUT CAN SOMEBODY IS THAT GOING TO BE A SHOWSTOPPER? IS THAT JUST, UH, WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SET OF A GIFT TRADE. SOMEBODY SPEAK TO THAT. I CAN SPEAK TO THAT. AND KAREN CAN
[00:30:04]
JUMP IN ANYTHING SHE'D LIKE TO ADD. I THINK KAREN AND THE LIBRARY WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO HAVE AN EXTERIOR SECURITY SYSTEM AT THIS LOCATION, AND SO WE FULLY SUPPORT THE PRIVATE OWNERS . UM DESIRE TO DO SO. IT WILL BE WORKING WITH FACILITIES SO IT WILL BE. WE'RE REQUIRING HIM TO COME ONTO THE CITIES, UH, FACILITY SECURITY SYSTEM. SO THERE WILL BE COORDINATION THERE . UM, AND WE WILL ALSO BENEFIT. FROM THE CAMERAS THAT ARE INSTALLED, OKAY? WHO WILL BE THE CONTROLLER BEHIND THAT SECURITY SYSTEM, THE PRIVATE OWNER OR A CITY OR WOULD BE SHARED SOMEONE SPEAK TO THAT. WELL, WE PROBABLY NEED FACILITIES TO EXPLAIN EXACTLY HOW THAT WOULD WORK OR I DON'T KNOW. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THOSE DETAILS TONIGHT, IT WAS JUST THE CITY'S SECURITY SYSTEM WILL FIGURE OUT SOME, YOU KNOW, PROCESS THAT MEETS OUR SECURITY PROTOCOLS ON HOW TO SHARE VIDEO WITH HIM IF HE NEEDS IT OR SOMETHING OF THAT, AND RIGHT NOW. WITH THE PROPOSAL THAT THE OWNER WILL FIND THAT SYSTEM IS THAT HE WILL FIND HIS SHARE OF IT. WE WILL HAVE SOME, UH, I THINK IT'S PART OF THE BOND PROJECT LIBRARY PROBABLY HAS SOME INTERIOR. UM CAMERAS THEY'D PROBABLY LIKE AND THEN THE THAT THAT GAP THAT ROOM IN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES BETWEEN THE 87,000 AND THE UP TO 200,000 MAY FUND THE REST. KAREN YOUR THOUGHTS ON HIS SECURITY SYSTEM. LIKE BECKY SAID. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE AN EXTERIOR SECURITY SYSTEM AT NORTH WE WOULD BENEFIT GREATLY FROM IT. OKAY AND THERE'S NO THERE SHOULDN'T BE. I WOULD THINK THERE'S NO IMPACT ON PARKING CHAINS. THE STAYS AS IT IS. THE MERCHANT IS OPEN PARKING RIGHT? THAT'S NOT EVEN AN ISSUE, RIGHT? ALRIGHT ALRIGHT. WELL I THINK SELECTION IF I CLOSE MY EYES JUST COULD BE ANY AMONG A NUMBER OF SHOPPING CENTERS IN THIS CITY. AND I LOVE THE MODEL. AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN DUPLICATED. YOU KNOW ANOTHER WARDS OF THE CITY. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANK YOU. ANY FUTURE ANY ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, NOT FUTURE QUESTIONS. YOU KNOW, I THINK THIS IS FANTASTIC. I CAN TELL YOU THAT. YOU KNOW, PARKING IS NOT AN ISSUE AT THIS. AT THIS LOCATION. THERE IS PLENTY OF PARKING BECAUSE MANY OF THE OTHER TENANTS ARE VERY LOW PARKING USERS OR THEY ARE SMALLER. YOU KNOW WHAT? THIS WHAT THIS LOCATION REALLY HAS IS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF FOOT TRAFFIC. FROM THE SCHOOLS. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN OVER THERE IN THE AFTERNOONS WHEN SCHOOL LETS OUT, BUT THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF KIDS THAT COME ACROSS NORTH GARLAND, UM THROUGH THERE. UM, SO I THINK ANY ENHANCEMENTS WE CAN DO THERE AND I THINK IT WILL. I THINK IT WILL DRAW THEM IN. I THINK IT WILL REALLY MAKE IT AN ATTRACTIVE, UH, PLACE FOR THEM TO GO A SAFE PLACE FOR THEM TO GO. UM AND AH! YOU KNOW AGAIN? YES, THERE'S. THERE'S A LOT OF NEED FOR BEAUTIFICATION JUST IN GENERAL, BUT SOME OPERATIONAL THINGS THAT WE CAN DO AS WELL, I THINK WOULD BE FANTASTIC. ALL RIGHT. UM SO EVERYBODY GOOD WITH MOVING FORWARD. YES. THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO ITEM FOR BE[4.b. Additional Narcotic Seizure Funding Request for FY23]

WE PURCHASED THIS OUT OF A GRANT 15 YEARS AGO PROVIDED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WHEN WE IMPLEMENTED OUR BOMB UNIT, THIS IS NOT A TRAILER. WE USE A LOT. UM THIS IS A TRAILER. REALLY? THAT HAS ONE PURPOSE, AND THAT'S THAT SHALE. AH WHICH IS STILL INTACT. IT'S AROUND THE SHELL THAT WE NEED REPAIR MINTS ON. SO UM, IF I WERE TO IF YOU WERE TO ASK ME OF MY PRIORITIES OF BUYING NEW EQUIPMENT. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WE NEED NEW. WE JUST NEED TO DO SOME REPAIRS TO IT. OKAY? AND YOU KNOW WHAT? THE EXPECTED LIFE LIFESPAN IS ONE OF THESE. I DON'T KNOW THAT I THINK IT'LL LAST YOU KNOW, LIKE IT'S NOT THERE'S NOT A LOT OF STUFF TO BREAK DOWN. YEAH, IT'S A TRAILER AND IT'S UM NOT A LOT OF MECHANICAL STUFF, BUT I COULDN'T TELL YOU WHAT THE LIFESPAN IS.
IF IT GETS TO THE POINT, IT'S NOT ABUSE ANYMORE THAN THEN WE'LL LOOK TO REPLACE IT RIGHT NOW. JUST REPAIRS WILL GET US PROBABLY ANOTHER 10 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD. WONDERFUL. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM SMITH. THANK YOU, MAYOR. CHIEF ARE YOU GOOD? UM EVERY TIME.
FUNDING REQUESTS COME UP FOR A BOMB SQUAD. WE GET THE USUAL QUESTIONS FROM CITIZENS, WHICH IS NUMBER ONE. DO WE NEED A BOMB SQUAD NUMBER TWO. HOW MUCH WE'RE SPENDING ON THE BOMB SQUAD NUMBER THREE. WE ONLY SERVE IN GARLAND WITH IT. UM CORRECT ME. IF I'M WRONG ON ANY OF THESE THINGS WE DO SERVE SURROUNDING AREAS. UH WHETHER BOMB SQUAD WE HAVE DONE THEM DURING MY COUNSEL TENURE. IN FACT. FOR OUTLET. UM . YOU KNOW THIS IS A THIS IS A GOOD USE OF FUNDING AND I MEAN, YOU YOU SAID IT'S 15 YEARS OLD. SO OBVIOUSLY WE'RE MAKING THIS EQUIPMENT LAST AH, I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THIS. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD? AS FAR AS THE YOU KNOW THE USEFULNESS OF THE GEAR ITSELF AND HOW THAT PLAYS IN HER OVERALL STRATEGY. WELL I'LL SAY THAT MOST OF THE ITEMS WE BUY FOR THE BOMB SQUAD ARE FUNDED THROUGH GRANT FUNDING THE VAST MAJORITY NOW WHEN IT COMES TIME TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT'S ON US . UM, BUT MOST OF THE ITEMS THAT WE FIND OUR FROM GRANT FUNDING. WE ARE A REGIONAL RESPONSE TEAM , SO WE'RE NOT JUST GARLAND. WE RESPOND ANYWHERE EAST AND A LITTLE BIT SOUTH. SO WE RESPOND TO A FAIRLY LARGE AREA. AND I DON'T REMEMBER THE LAST QUESTION . BUT UH, THIS PIECE OF EQUIPMENT HERE AGAIN, IT'S IF WE'RE GOING TO TRANSPORT SOMETHING, UH, THAT IS POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE. THIS WOULD CONTAIN THE EXPLOSION IF IT WERE TO OCCUR WHILE WE WERE IN TRANSPORT. AND THIS GEAR HAS BEEN USED IN THE PAST. YES WE'VE USED THIS NUMBER OF DIAMOND. THAT'S VERY GOOD. THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU, MAYOR. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. I SEE NONE. ALL IN FAVOR OF MOVING FORWARD WITH THE REQUEST. UNANIMOUS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR. NEXT IS ADAM FORESEE
[4.c. Tinsley-Lyles House Improvements]
TINSLEY LYLE'S HOUSE IMPROVEMENTS. YEAH. OUR FORMER CHIEF WOULD STILL BE IN THE INTRODUCTION STAGE OF THE PRESENTATION. GO AHEAD, BILL. SORRY PROBLEM COUNCIL. THIS AGENDA ITEM IS TO DISCUSS THE TINSLEY LYLE'S HOUSE. THIS WAS AT THE REQUEST OF COUNCIL WANTED TO PROVIDE A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE PROPERTY AND SOME OPTIONS THAT COUNCIL CAN CONSIDER THIS EVENING. JUST AS A QUICK BACKGROUND. THE HOME WAS CONSTRUCTED IN THE 18[00:40:01]
NINETIES AND WAS CONSTRUCTED BY WILLIAM TINSLEY AND IN 19 OH, TWO WAS PURCHASED BY RH LYLES.IN 1979. THE HOUSES WERE RELOCATED TO HERITAGE PARK, WHERE IT WAS NEXT TO THE SANTA FE DEPOT AND THE PULLMAN CAR, AND THEN THE CITY AGAIN MOVED IT IN 2015 TO THE HERITAGE CROSSING AREA WHERE IT CURRENTLY RESIDES. SINCE 2016. THE CITY DOES HAVE RECORDS THAT SHOWS THIS HOUSE HAS BEEN BREACHED FIVE TIMES, AND WE MAY NEED TO ADD ANOTHER NOTCH TO THAT. I WANTED TO TAKE PICTURES OF IT THIS MORNING, AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAD BEEN A ATTEMPTED TO BE TO BE BREACHED, AND I'LL SHOW YOU THAT IN A PICTURE HERE AND JUST JUST A LITTLE BIT, UM, IN 2022 LAST YEAR, CITY STAFF DID TAKE A SURVEY OF THE PROPERTY AND THE FIRST THING THAT WAS NOTED BY CITY STAFF. IS THAT THE PORCHES OF THE FACILITY WHERE IN VERY POOR SHAPE I WILL TELL YOU IS I WANT TO TAKE PICTURES TODAY AND I'M SURE COUNCIL HAS BEEN OUT TO THE LOCATION THAT IF YOU ARE OUT THERE, THE PORTERS ARE VERY UNSTABLE AND I DIDN'T TRUST GETTING ON IT. SO I TOOK PICTURES FROM A DISTANCE. THE DOORS AND WINDOWS SHOW QUITE A BIT OF DETERIORATION IN SOME OF THE WINDOWS ARE ACTUALLY FALLING IN AND THERE'S NUMEROUS NUMEROUS ISSUES OF WOOD ROT AND METAL RUST ON THE FACILITY. AND AS NOTED IN THE STAFF SURVEY, THERE'S SEVERAL HOLES THAT HAVE BEEN, UH, BROUGHT INTO THE HOME THROUGH EITHER RODENTS OR ANIMALS MAKING HOME INTO THE HOUSE THERE. SOME OF THE PICTURES. THIS IS THE SECOND STORY ADORE THAT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HOME. IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE ATTEMPTED TO BREACH THAT DOOR, SIR. FACILITY STAFF IS GOING TO ATTEMPT TO BOARD THAT BACK UP, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S PLYWOOD BEHIND THAT. SO SOMEONE WHO DID TRY TO BREACH IT WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. BUT THROUGH THIS PICTURE, YOU CAN SEE EXAMPLES OF THE WOOD ROT ON THE TOP OF THE ROOF. YOU CAN SEE THE METAL THAT IS STARTING TO SHOW.
UH DECAY AND IT'S ESSENTIALLY FALLING FALLING APART. THIS IS ANOTHER PICTURE OF THE HOME FROM THE WEST SIDE. YOU CAN SEE THE WOOD ROT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN. YOU CAN SEE ATTENTION, CABLE AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN THERE, AND THAT KITCHEN CABLE IS HOLDING UP ONE OF THE PORCHES FROM FALLING OVER TO KEEPING IT ATTACHED TO THE TO THE HOME AT THIS POINT AGAIN, MORE WOULD ROCK. THIS IS ANOTHER VIEW. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HOME, YOU CAN AGAIN SEE THE TENSION CABLE HOLDING UP THE PORCHES. THIS SIDE SEEMED TO BE THE WORST AS A RELATED TO THE TO THE WOOD ROT, AND YOU CAN SEE DIRECTLY INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE STRUCTURE AND THE FOUNDATION AS IT RELATES TO THIS WOULD ROT HERE. THIS IS THE PORCH AREA HERE. THE PICTURES REALLY DON'T DO IT JUSTICE, BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT THE WOOD IS VERY WARPED AND AGAIN. I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE GETTING ON IT AND ESPECIALLY AFTER VISITING WITH THE FACILITY STAFF THAT THERE GETTING ON IT AS WELL. AND I TRIED TO CAPTURE THAT WITH THE WITH THE PICTURE. STAFF AS IN PREPARATION FOR THIS DISCUSSION DID LOOK AT A COUPLE OF OPTIONS . ONE WAS DEMOLITION OF THE OF THE HOUSE AND WE DID RECEIVE A BID FROM A CONTRACTOR THAT IS ON THE TIPS PURCHASING COOPERATIVE . THEIR PROPOSAL WAS JUST OVER 14,000 FOR THE DEMOLITION OF THE PROPERTY COUNCIL CHOOSES TO GO THAT DIRECTION, WE WOULD SUGGEST A 15% CONTINGENCY, SO THAT WOULD BRING US UP TO A LITTLE OVER $16,700 AND WE DID VISIT WITH OUR FINANCE AND BUDGETING STAFF , AND THEY WOULD RECOMMEND FUNDING FOR THAT TO COME FROM THE GENERAL FUND. ONE TIME FUNDS. THERE WAS ALSO DISCUSSION ABOUT RENOVATION OF THE CURRENT STRUCTURE AGAIN. THIS WAS FROM THE 2022 STUDY, AND THERE WAS ESTIMATED COSTS OF 108,000. AND OF COURSE, THIS WAS JUST A PRELIMINARY ESTIMATES. AND SO THESE THESE NUMBERS CAN GO GO UP OR DOWN AS IT RELATES TO ANY OTHER PROJECT THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH. AND THERE WAS ALSO A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE COMPLETE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE FACILITY, BUILDING IT TO SCALE OF WHAT WE HAVE NOW, AND THAT CONSTRUCTION COST WAS ESTIMATED AT 265,000. AND THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE DEMOLITION COSTS. YOU WOULD HAVE TO ADD THE 16,000 ON ON TOP OF THAT SO COUNCIL AS I SAID, I WANTED TO BE TO BE BRIEF, AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. AND I KNOW THIS IS AN ITEM THE COUNCIL WANTED TO DISCUSS. VERY GOOD CUSTOMER LOOK. WHY IS SELLING IT? NOT ONE OF THE OPTIONS. SELLING THE STRUCTURE. SURE I THINK AS A MUNICIPALITY, WE PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO SELL THE STRUCTURE IN THE CONDITION THAT IT'S IN. IT'S UNSAFE. I THINK THAT WE COULD HAVE A, UM, SEVERAL OPINIONS FROM OUR BUILDING OFFICIAL FROM STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS THAT IT'S UNSAFE AND WE DON'T WANT TO PROVIDE A STRUCTURE TO SOMEONE. THAT IS. THAT IS A CONDITION IT IS AN UNSAFE. I MEAN PLENTY OF PEOPLE BY RECLAIMED WOOD AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I MEAN, THERE ARE PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES TO RECOUP SOME OF THE DEMOLITION COST. IF THAT'S THE WAY THAT IT GOES, COUNSELOR, REMEMBER LUCK. I WILL TELL YOU THAT IN PART OF THE BID THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEMO COST. I BELIEVE THAT THE CONTRACTOR GAVE US A FAVORABLE PRICE AND ANTICIPATION OF, UH, REPURPOSING SOME OF THE MATERIAL FROM THE FROM THE PREME PRO TIM MORRIS. THANK YOU, MAYOR
[00:45:08]
AND COUNCIL. I PUT THIS ON FOR DISCUSSION BECAUSE WE SAW THREE OPTIONS HERE, BUT THERE IS ANOTHER OPTION AND I'M GOING TO PITCH THIS OVER TO, UM DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM SMITH HERE IN A MOMENT. BUT ONE OF THE CREATIVE IDEAS THAT WERE RAISED AFTER A NUMBER OF US WENT TO, UM, AN INTERESTING UM DEMONSTRATION PUT ON BY G. HFC DAVID GIBBONS PARTNERED WITH G I S D STUDENTS IN THE I THINK IT'S ARCHITECTURE CLASS TO HAVE A PROJECT IN NORTH GARLAND, THE CASTLE MANOR, FORMER CASTLE MANOR NURSING HOME , UM AND THEY DESIGNED AND CREATED THREE D SCALE MODELS. OF A POTENTIAL COMMUNITY THERE THAT ACTUALLY SEEMS TO BE IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING FORWARD. AND SO THE IDEA WAS RAISED. UM THAT WE COULD THIS STRUCTURE IS REALLY IT'S WAY PAST. IT'S WAY PAST BEING SALVAGEABLE. UM SO THE IDEA WAS RAISED ABOUT HAVING GOING INTO A PARTNERSHIP WITH G I S D AND IN A SIMILAR WAY, HAVING A TO SCALE THREE D MODEL MADE OF THE TENSELY LYLE'S HOUSE THAT COULD BE DISPLAYED PROUDLY , UM AS AN EXAMPLE OF EARLY GARLAND WORKMANSHIP. UM AT CENTRAL LIBRARY OR HERITAGE MUSEUM, SOMETHING THAT WILL BE THAT WILL PRESERVE IT AND A MINIATURE FORM. UM WHICH WE WOULD THEN NEED TO REMOVE IT. AND I WILL TELL YOU, UM, A YEAR AFTER I CAME ON COUNCIL BECAUSE THIS IS SITTING IN MY DISTRICT AND IT WAS APPALLINGLY UGLY. I ACTUALLY SENT TWO OF MY OWN CONTRACTORS THAT WE'VE USED FOR GENTLE, UH VINTAGE RESTORATION PROJECTS, AND I ASKED THEM TO QUOTE ME ON JUST THE OUTSIDE TO MAKE IT LOOK BETTER. WHAT WOULD IT COST? IF I GIFTED TO THE CITY MAKING THE OUTSIDE HOLE SO IT WOULD BE PRETTY AT LEAST AND, UH, THEY BOTH CAME BACK TO ME AND SAID UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WOULD I TOUCH THAT? IT'S ROTTEN . YOU CAN PUT YOUR FINGER THROUGH IT. IT IS NOT RESTORE A BLE. SO, UM ANYWAY, I WOULD LIKE MAYOR IF I MAY ASK IF YOU CAN PUNCH IN, UM COUNCILMAN SMITH AND LET HIM DISCUSS SOME OF HIS AH, THE IDEA WITH THE MINIATURES. OKAY, THANKS. GO AHEAD, SIR. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND . BRITAIN, MORRIS COVERED MOST OF THE POINTS. UM REALLY? THERE IS A FORMER MAYOR OF OURS WHO MADE A POINT TO LET US KNOW WHAT ALL THE ARCHITECTURALLY SIGNIFICANT PARTS OF THAT HOME WERE. AND THOSE WERE POINTS THAT WEREN'T LOST UPON ME. UM THERE'S AN EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY IN HERE FOR THE ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS TO GET AT A CONSTRUCTION METHOD THAT THAT WAS USED HISTORICALLY, AND TO RECREATE THAT IN A MINIATURIZED SCALE FORM FOR US. YOU KNOW, WE KNOW WE'RE BEYOND THE POINT OF NO RETURN WITH GARLANDS, OLDEST HOME, BUT WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOME WAY TO PRESERVE IT. THAT MAKES SENSE IN THIS PORTABLE AND ISN'T ISN'T A PUBLIC SAFETY NIGHTMARE.TO BE HONEST. THE LAST HOUSE HAS NOT BEEN A TOURISM DESTINATION. UH BUT I FEEL LIKE AS AS PART OF A GREATER EXHIBIT. YOU KNOW, A SCALE MODEL CAN BE PART OF, YOU KNOW, WITHIN A MUSEUM TYPE FUNCTION AND MAYBE ADD TO OUR OVERALL, UM, COLLECTION OF ARTIFACTS. THE G R C T C WITH G I S D HAS AN ARCHITECTURE PROGRAM. THEY HAVE KIDS THAT ARE CONSTANTLY ON THE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR PROJECTS AND I THINK WITH A SMALL DONATION FROM THE CITY, UM WE COULD CERTAINLY PITCH THIS THEIR WAY AND SEE IF IT'S SOMETHING THEY'RE ACTUALLY INTERESTED IN DOING. AND IF THEY'RE NOT NO HARM, NO FOUL. WE MOVE ON WITH IT AND DEMOLITION AND GET IT DONE. BUT IF WE HAVE A CHANCE NOT ONLY TO EDUCATE OUR YOUTH HAVE SOMETHING INTERESTING. IS AN ARTIFACT THAT COMES OUT OF THIS. SO WE HAVE SOME PRESERVATION OF THE STRUCTURE IN SOME FORM. AND, UH, YOU KNOW THE ABILITY TO MOVE FORWARD IN THAT SPACE. I THINK IT'S A WIN WIN ALL AROUND. SO MY IDEA WAS TO GO AHEAD AND PAY THE DEMOLITION COSTS BUT ALSO ADDING ANOTHER. I DON'T KNOW 10 TO 15 K OR SOME NUMBER TO BE NEGOTIATED LATER TO COVER THE COSTS OF THE STUDENTS TO COME IN, HOPEFULLY SAFELY. AND BUILD THAT SCALE MODEL OUT. AND THAT'S IT, MAYOR. THANK YOU. OKAY? DO YOU HAVE MORE BECAUSE I HAVE COUNCIL MEMBER WILL GO AHEAD. SO I JUST WANTED TO ADD TO THAT. I DID DISCUSS THIS WITH DR LOPEZ SOME WEEKS AGO JUST TO SEE IF THE GENERAL IDEA WERE SOMETHING THAT
[00:50:04]
HE WOULD ENTERTAIN AND HE WAS VERY EXCITED AND SAID YES, HE WOULD LOVE TO PURSUE IT FURTHER AND UNTIL THE WHOLE COUNCIL AS A BODY GAVE A BLESSING TO PURSUING THIS PATH THAT WASN'T REALLY SOMETHING I COULD OR SHOULD DO. BUT UM, HE IS DEFINITELY OPEN TO DISCUSSING THIS AND HAVING THE STUDENTS LOOK AT TAKING IT ON. THANK YOU, COUNCILOR WILLIAMS. THANK YOU, MAYOR. UM. COMPANY HAVE THINGS ONE IS I LIKE THE EXCUSE ME? I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE STUDENTS INVOLVEMENT. AH, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU KNOW MORE MORE MORE OF THAT AND WRITING OUT. I THINK IF WE GO THAT ROUTE, WE DEFINITELY WANT TO HAVE WHO'S GOING TO DO WHAT WHEN AND HOW, AND I CERTAINLY WOULD WANT TO SEE THAT AGREEMENT IN WRITING WITH JERSEY UH, TO THE EXTENT THAT WE CAN AH, SECOND THING IS, THERE'S A PARALLEL PEACE. IN ADDITION TO PRESERVING IT VIRTUALLY WHETHER YOU PUT IT IN THE LIBRARY OR SOMEPLACE ELSE. THERE'S ALSO A HISTORICAL SIDE OF THIS OCCASION. AH IT WAS PLACED OVER THERE WHEN IT'S MOVING. I REMEMBER WHEN IT WAS MOVED. I THINK THE MAYOR DOES TO, UM, TRY TO FORGET SOME THINGS ABOUT IT, BUT WE REMEMBER WHEN IT WAS MOVED. AND IT WAS IT WAS GOING TO BE A TOURIST DESTINATION. THAT DID NOT EVOLVE. OKAY THAT WAS SO THING.IT'S NOT EVOLVED AS THAT. SO IN ADDITION TO HAVING THE STUDENTS DO DO A REPLICA AND PUT UP I THINK WE ALSO AND I'M NOT SURE OF THE COST ON THIS, BUT WE'VE GOT SOME, UH SOME NONPROFITS AND SOME FOLKS IN THIS CITY WHO COULD WORK ON ON THE COULD CHRONICLE THE HISTORICAL ASPECT OF THIS HOUSE. AND I THINK THAT SHOULD BE DISPLAYED ALONG WITH THE VIRTUAL STRUCTURE. FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES FOR THE KIDS. SO IF WE COULD INCLUDE IT INCLUDES WE IF WE CAN INCLUDE THAT, AND THIS THERE WAS. I KNOW THERE ARE SOME WE GET THE GOLD IN HIS HISTORICAL FOUNDATION, SOME OTHER FOLKS WHO PERHAPS WE COULD BRING INTO THIS TO DO. THAT SIDE OF IT, SO THAT WHEN IF WE IF WE DO THE VIRTUAL PIECE, UH STUDENTS AND TEACHERS AND WHOMEVER CENTRIC WILL ALSO HAVE THE HISTORY THE RIDDEN HISTORICAL PIECE BECAUSE THERE IS A LONG HISTORY. UM ON THIS HOUSE, SO I'D LIKE TO SEE THEM BOTH DONE TOGETHER SO THAT ONCE WE ONCE WE DROP IT SOMEPLACE WE'VE GOT THE WHOLE. UH WE GOT THE HISTORY AS WELL AS THE VIRTUAL CONCEPT IS THAT YES, SIR. COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS. I THINK THAT IS SOMETHING WE CAN ACCOMMODATE, AND I'M LOOKING AT A AND E HIS TEAM AND I THINK THROUGH KIM AND HIS HIS DEPARTMENT CAN HELP US DO A CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY. STORYBOOK PER SE. OF WHAT? THAT HOLMES. HISTORY IS SO OKAY, SO I THINK THAT IS SOMETHING WE CAN ACCOMPLISH. RIGHT THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR. CANCER LOOK, UM THERE'S SOME LIKE CLOVER. THERE'S A CLOVER DESIGN AT THE TOP OF THE ROOF. UM IT WOULD BE REALLY COOL TO SAVE JUST A PIECE OF THAT. THAN ANY OTHER ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS SUCH AS THAT, UM THAT ARE JUST UNIQUE TO THE HOUSE. UM I'D LIKE TO SEE THOSE DISPLAYED WITH WHATEVER THREE D MODEL OR WHATEVER MAY HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE WITH THIS AFTER WE VOTE. THANK YOU. VERY GOOD. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS. YOU KNOW, AND. COUNCILOR WILLIAMS AND I WERE ON THE COUNCIL WHEN IT CAME TO REST IN THIS LOCATION, SO WE'VE BEEN DOWN THIS ROAD. UM YOU KNOW, AND I WILL TELL YOU THAT THAT UPPER LEVEL DOOR THERE HAS NOT BEEN BREACHED BY SOMEONE THAT HAS BEEN BREACHED BY TIME. IT IS JUST IT IS JUST WIND AND GRAVITY IS WHAT HAS HAS BROKE THAT DOOR APART BECAUSE I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE THAT A HUMAN COULD CLIMB UP THERE. THERE IS VIRTUALLY NOTHING TO SUPPORT YOU, SO IT'S JUST IT'S JUST THE EFFECTS OF TIME. UM AND, UH SO ALRIGHT, COUNCIL. YOU'VE HEARD THE OPTIONS. UM AND I AM ALSO IN FAVOR OF I'M IN FAVOR OF THE OPTION OF DOING A SCALE MODEL AND A HISTORICAL DOCUMENTATION OF THAT. I THINK IT'S I THINK IT IT WILL PRESENT THIS HOME IN A MUCH BETTER WAY THAN WHAT WE HAVE EVER BEEN ABLE TO DO FOR MANY YEARS NOW, AND IT WILL. IT IS SOMETHING THAT IT WILL HOLD UP OVER TIME VERSUS UH, YOU
[00:55:09]
KNOW, THE EFFECTS OF TIME ON THAT HOUSE WILL NOT HAVE THE EFFECT ON ON ANY MODELING AND DOCUMENTATION, WHICH I KNOW ALREADY EXIST. I MEAN, THAT'S THE DOCUMENTATION IS KIND OF THE EASY PART. UM ONE THING I WAS LOOKING AT IN THE QUOTE OR IN THE BIDS, AND I SEEM TO RECALL THAT AH! YOU KNOW THAT WHEN THE FROM THE DEMO THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO BRING, THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO SOME DIRT WORKING, ETCETERA, AND I SEEM TO RECALL THAT THERE IS A BOX CULVERT OR SOME UTILITY EASEMENT THAT RUNS UNDERNEATH THAT IS THAT THEY WOULD BE AWARE OF ALL OF THAT GOING ON. WELL BECAUSE THERE'S OTHER THINGS UNDERNEATH THAT UNDERNEATH THAT PLACE THAT I JUST REMEMBER FROM FROM DETAILS, ALL RIGHT? AH COUNCIL. I'M GOING TO JUST PRESENT. UH FIRST, THE OPTION OF THE THREE D SCALE MODELING AND IS EVERYONE IN FAITH? ANYONE IN FAVOR OF THAT IDEA? SORRY. WORDING THAT VERY WELL. POLICE PURSUE THAT ROUTE. ER, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THAT WAS OUR LAST VERBAL BRIEFING. THAT BRINGS US TO ITEM FIVE, WHICH IS ANNOUNCED FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS. COUNCIL MEMBER HEDRICK. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. I'D LIKE TO RECOMMEND THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICE COMMITTEE A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF OUR SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ZONING AND ENGINEERING AND A UTILITY PLANS. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A LIVE NEW PROGRAM TO MANAGE SOME MEDALS WE GET FROM DIFFERENT APPLICANTS AND I THINK WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO REVIEW.OUR PROCESS IS THE SAME TIME THAT SYSTEMS BEING IMPLEMENTED VERY GOOD. AND DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TIM SMITH WILL BE THE SECOND ON THAT. ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE? YES, SIR. THANK YOU. ANY ADDITIONAL FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS. I SEE NONE. OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S SOMETHING THAT COMES UP BETWEEN NOW AND WHENEVER THERE IS STILL A PROCESS TO GET FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS BROUGHT FORWARD. THAT
