[00:00:04]

WELL. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE, AND WELCOME TO THE MONDAY, JUNE 3RD, 2000, 24 WORK SESSION FOR THE GARLAND CITY COUNCIL, BEFORE WE GET STARTED, THERE'S A COUPLE OF, NOTES ON OUR AGENDA, I BELIEVE ALL OF YOU HAVE SEEN. EXCUSE ME. WE ARE GOING TO POSTPONE ITEMS SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT AND TEN, WE WILL BRING THOSE BACK, AT A FUTURE WORK SESSION, FOR DISCUSSION, WE WANTED TO GIVE MORE TIME, TO OUR STORM RECOVERY. AGENDA ITEM THIS EVENING, SO JUST KNOW THAT THOSE THOSE ITEMS WILL COME BACK. HOPEFULLY. MAYBE AT THE NEXT, AT THE NEXT WORK SESSION AND THEN ALSO ON THE AGENDA, I'M GOING TO FLIP ITEMS THREE AND FOUR AND DO THE, NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT, APPLICATIONS, FOR INTERVIEWS FIRST. SO ANYWAY, FIRST ITEM UP IS PUBLIC COMMENTS ON WORK SESSION ITEMS. I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANYONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK THIS EVENING. OKAY.

[CONSIDER THE CONSENT AGENDA]

[1. Ordinance amending the Master Fee Schedule of Chapter 10 of the Code of Ordinances]

[2. Abandonment of Utility Easement and Portion of Drainage and Detention Easement in Campbell Ferris Addition]

[4. Interview for Appointment to the North Texas Municipal Water District Board]

[00:05:05]

THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT AROUND THE AROUND THAT LAKE IN AND AROUND IT, AND IT'S GOING TO BE A REAL DRIVER FOR FANNIN COUNTY. AND IT'S WORKED OUT GOOD FOR BOTH OF US.

IT'S WORKED OUT GOOD FOR US THAT WE GET 85 MILLION GALLONS A DAY OUT OF IT, WE'VE GOT LEONARD TREATMENT PLANT UP THERE, WHICH WAS 30 TO 70 MGD WHEN WE OPENED. OPENED IT UP LAST YEAR WHEN I WAS PRESIDENT, AND WE'RE ALREADY DOUBLING THE SIZE NOW TO 140 MGD. SO, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT UNBELIEVABLE GROWTH IN THIS DISTRICT. WHEN I GOT TO THE DISTRICT, WE HAD 1.4 MILLION PEOPLE, AND NOW WE'VE GOT 2.2 MILLION PEOPLE THAT WE SERVE. AND THAT'S JUST A PERIOD OF 14 YEARS. WE'RE ADDING 55,000 CUSTOMERS A YEAR. 55,000. THINK ABOUT THAT. THAT'S A SMALL CITY THAT WE'RE ADDING EVERY YEAR. WE'VE GOT A LOT OF, JENNA COVINGTON IS OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND GENERAL MANAGER UP THERE. AND SHE CALLS THEM BIG ROCKS. I THINK SOME OF THEM ARE BOULDERS. THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT BIGGER THAN BIG ROCKS. YOU KNOW, THEY'RE THEY'RE GOING TO BE SOME SOME BIG ISSUES THAT COME ALONG. YOU KNOW, I WAS I WAS GOING TO GO OVER THE DATA. I'D PROBABLY BE EASIER JUST TO ANSWER QUESTIONS, BUT I WAS GOING TO GO OVER THE FOUR MAIN THINGS THAT I THINK ARE COMING UP THAT ARE CRITICAL FOR THE BOARD TO, TO MAKE DECISIONS ON. ONE IS THE CUSTOMER PREMIUM. YOU KNOW, WE CHARGE THE CUSTOMERS A NICKEL EXTRA PER THOUSAND OVER WHAT WE CHARGE THE CITIZENS OR THE MEMBER CITIES, THE 13 MEMBER CITIES. THERE WAS TEN ORIGINALLY, BUT WE ADDED THREE MORE AFTER THE ORIGINALS WERE THERE. WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE NICKEL? IS A NICKEL ENOUGH? SHOULD IT BE MORE FOR, MEMBER CITIES? THINK IT SHOULD BE MORE CUSTOMER CITIES? DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BE. YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT ABOUT 40 SOMETHING CUSTOMER CITIES, A LOT OF SMALL CITIES, THEY ONLY MAKE UP ABOUT 18% OF THE BUDGET. SO IT'S NOT A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. BUT WHATEVER WE DO HAS TO BE DEFENSIBLE. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO TAKE IT TO THE PUC AND THE COURTHOUSE IF NECESSARY. SO WE'RE REAL CAUTIOUS THE WAY WE'RE APPROACHING IT. AND THEN A LOT OF CONSULTING WORK SEEING WHAT SHOULD BE CALLED AND WHAT WE CAN CHARGE. I THINK JUDD HAS BEEN ON A LOT OF THE MEETINGS WITH JENNA. THEY HAVE MEETINGS PRETTY MUCH. I THINK IT'S MONTHLY WITH THE CITY MANAGERS. AND TO KEEP YOU KEEP THEM ABREAST OF WHAT'S GOING ON UP THERE. SO THE CUSTOMER PREMIUM IS A BIG ISSUE, MEMBERSHIP.

THAT'S GOING TO BE A GOOD ONE WHO CAN BE A MEMBER. WE HAVE THE 13 MEMBER CITIES NOW, AND WE GOT, LIKE I SAY, 40 PLUS CUSTOMER CITIES. AND WHEN YOU START RAISING THE CUSTOMER PREMIUM, THEN THEY WANT TO BECOME MEMBERS. SO THAT WAY THEY DON'T HAVE TO PAY THE PREMIUM.

THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THAT IS THEY TAKE ON THE DEBT, CUSTOMERS DON'T HAVE THE DEBT. THEY'RE ON A CONTRACT. BUT THE 13 MEMBER CITIES WE OWN THE DEBT. WE HAVE TO PAY THAT DEBT OFF. IF WE DON'T PUMP A LICK OF WATER OUT OF, OF ALL OF OUR WATER SOURCES. SO I DON'T KNOW THAT I WOULD WANT TO BE A MEMBER IF I WAS A CUSTOMER. BUT, YOU KNOW, THEY WE'VE HAD A FEW OF THEM APPROACH US AND WANT TO BE MEMBERS. AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY WE CAN SIT AROUND THAT BOARD. YOU KNOW, WE GOT 25 NOW. I CAN'T SEE 40 OR 50 BOARD MEMBERS SITTING AROUND A HUGE TABLE. SO WE GOT TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GIVE THEM REPRESENTATION WITHOUT MAYBE BEING AN ACTUAL BOARD MEMBER.

MAYBE THEY CAN TAG TEAM WITH ONE OF THE BOARD MEMBERS. NOW, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE SMALLER CITIES ROLL OUT SOME OF THE SMALLER CITIES. MAYBE WE CAN MEET WITH THEM. KIND OF LIKE THEY DO ON THE DART BOARD, YOU KNOW, HAVE ONE REPRESENTATIVE REPRESENT SOME OF THE MEMBERS, THE CUSTOMER CITIES. BUT THAT'S A THAT'S A DECISION THAT NEEDS TO BE MADE. I THINK THE ONE THAT'S COMING UP NOW THAT YOU'VE ALL SEEN IN THE PAPERS, WAS HAVE YOU HEARD OF PFAS? PFAS FOREVER CHEMICALS. THAT'S JUST REALLY GETTING TO BE A BIG THING. AND THAT'S GOING TO BE A NIGHTMARE FOR UTILITIES, IN THE TREATMENT, TREATMENT WORLD, YOU MAY HAVE TO GO TO REVERSE OSMOSIS OR ACTIVATED CARBON OR SOME OTHER KIND OF TREATMENT. THE KEY IS WHO'S GOING TO PAY FOR IT? IS IT GOING TO BE THE CHEMICAL COMPANIES THAT POLLUTED THE WATER AND POLLUTED WITH THE TEFLON AND ALL THE DIFFERENT CHEMICALS THEY PUT IN THE WATER? ARE THEY GOING TO PUT IT ON THE CUSTOMERS THAT YOU WHY PICK ON WATER? YOU KNOW, I MEAN IT'S IN LANDFILLS. IT'S IN THE WASTEWATER, THESE CHEMICALS ARE EVERYWHERE. THE PROBLEM IS, IS THEY ARE PARTS PER TRILLION. I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE EVER SEEN A PART PER TRILLION. BE LIKE AN EYE DROP IN AN IN AN OLYMPIC SIZE SWIMMING POOL. WHAT IS HARMFUL? YOU KNOW WHAT? WHAT? THEY'RE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE THAT OUT. THEY'VE COME UP WITH SOME RULES AND SOME REGULATIONS ON HOW WHAT'S ACCEPTABLE AND WHAT'S NOT. I DON'T KNOW THAT WE CAN MEET ALL THOSE RIGHT NOW. WE'RE TESTING FOR THEM. THEY GIVE YOU A WINDOW OF ABOUT 4 OR 5 YEARS TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU CAN DO IT. SO WE'RE TESTING A TALKING AREA TREATMENT PLANT THERE. AND WE'RE TESTING HERE AT THE BIG PLANT I CALLED IT THE

[00:10:06]

COUNSELOR WILLIAMS. NOW, JACKIE, YOU DON'T RAMBLE. THANK YOU. BJ, YOU'RE MY FAVORITE COUNCIL PERSON. YEAH, RIGHT, THANKS, JACK. FOR REAPPLYING AGAIN. YOU MENTIONED MARVIN NICHOLS. I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU A QUESTION ABOUT THAT, BUT I WON'T. OKAY, YOU ANSWERED THAT, YOU KNOW, ONGOING DISCUSSION AT JACK THROUGH THE YEARS. COUNCIL VERSION, CONSERVATION VERSUS RATES, MEMBER CITIES, PARTICULARLY. AND WE MARCHED TO THE BEAT OF THE DRUMS ON THE CONSERVATION CONSERVATION SIDE. BUT FROM A CUSTOMER SIDE, IT DOESN'T APPEAR THAT THERE ARE ANY BENEFITS. WHAT DO YOU SEE, JACK? DO YOU SEE ANY CHANGE IN THAT THAT THAT POLICY. WHAT DO YOU SEE THAT GOING THAT DEBATE YOU SAID TERM GOING, OVER THE NEXT, NEXT FEW YEARS, THE CONSERVATION PIECE, WHICH IS PARTICULARLY MEMBER CITIES WHO WHO MEET AND EXCEED THOSE GOALS THAT ARE OFTEN SET BY THE DISTRICT, BUT THAT'S THE INCENTIVE FOR DOING THAT IS AT LEAST FROM A PERCEPTION STANDPOINT, IS THAT IT'S NOT. SO ANY COMMENTS ON THAT, JACK.

YEAH. CONSERVATION IS GOING TO BE A MAJOR PIECE ON HANG ON. CAN I CAN I ASK THAT THIS IS THIS IS GOING TO BE SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT. AND THERE'S A LINE THERE'S GOING TO BE A LINE HERE BECAUSE TELL ME HOW TO REPHRASE THAT. WELL, THE ISSUE IS THAT IT'S BEEN POSTED AS AN INTERVIEW. AND SO IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT HIS QUALIFICATIONS AND NOT ABOUT THE ISSUES, THAT THE DISTRICTS IS ACTUALLY DEALING WITH. NOW, I'M SORRY. NO, NO, NO, YOU'RE FINE. I'M JUST RAMBLE ON. NO JACK.

YOU'RE OKAY. OKAY. JACK I'LL STOP RAMBLING. SO IT'S A FINE LINE BECAUSE IN SOME WAYS, HIS REPRESENTATION OF THE CITY IS SOMEWHAT TIED TO THOSE ISSUES. SO IF THE QUESTION IS WHAT IS YOUR POSITION ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE AND HOW ARE YOU GOING TO BEST REPRESENTATIVE ON THE REPRESENT THE CITY FOR THAT ISSUE? THEN WE CAN HAVE THAT DISCUSSION. THAT'S WHY HE'S THAT'S WHY THAT'S WHY HE'S THE CITY ATTORNEY. SO CAN YOU RESPOND TO MY QUESTION AS ASKED AS PHRASE FRAMED B BY THE CI ATTORNEY? YES. BY CONSERVATION. RIGHT. I MEAN, CAN I ANSWER A

[00:15:03]

YOU'LL SEE A BILLBOARD, YOU'LL SEE, FACEBOOK DRONE, ALL THE ALL THE DIFFERENT WEBSITES AND THINGS. BUT CONSERVATION IS GOING TO BE A CRITICAL AND I BELIEVE IN CONSERVATION BECAUSE IT'S THE CHEAPEST WATER. WE IT'S A LOT CHEAPER THAN BUILDING ANOTHER BILLION DOLLAR LAKE.

LET'S PUT IT THAT WAY. ALL RIGHT. THANKS, JACK. THANKS, MAYOR. VERY GOOD CUSTOMER, HEDRICK. THANK YOU. MAYOR. THANK YOU FOR APPLYING AGAIN. AND, YOUR SERVICE TO GARLAND. BUT QUESTION I HAVE IS ABOUT THE CUSTOMER PREMIUM YOU MENTIONED THEY'RE CONSIDERING GARLAND IS A MEMBER CITY. HOW DO YOU SEE THAT NICKEL CHANGE GOING, WITH RESPECT TO GARLAND BEING A MEMBER CITY AND THESE OTHER CITIES NOT OR OTHER CITIES PAYING THAT. RIGHT? WE'VE GOT THEY'VE GOT MEETINGS ONGOING NOW WITH, THERE'S A SMALL GROUP OF CUSTOMER CITIES THAT ARE MEETING WITH A SMALL GROUP OF MEMBER CITIES. I THINK IT'S MAYBE ALLEN AND FRISCO AND MCKINNEY. I THINK, YOU KNOW, THERE'S WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO WORK AT IS SOME KIND OF ARRANGEMENT. SO WE DON'T GET INTO A BIG FIGHT AND HAVE TO GO DOWN TO THE PUC OR THE COURTHOUSE OR SOMETHING. YOU KNOW, WE GOT TO FIND OUT WHAT WE CAN LEGALLY CHARGE, IS THAT NICKEL APPROPRIATE? NOBODY KNOWS WHERE THE NICKEL CAME FROM. TO BE QUITE CANDID, I'M SURE WHEN THE WATER WAS $0.30, A THOUSAND GALLONS NICKEL SOUNDED PRETTY GOOD. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A PERCENT. YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY STARTED, INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING A FLAT NICKEL, I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE TO PAY A LITTLE BIT MORE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS. WE GOT TO MAKE SURE WE'VE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF REPORTS FROM DIFFERENT CONSULTANTS THAT WE HAVE WORKING ON IT, RATE CONSULTANTS. WE'VE GOT PEOPLE THAT ARE THE LEGAL, LEGAL BEAGLES. I CALL THEM FROM AUSTIN OR TO MAKE SURE WHATEVER WE BRING OUT OR WE BRING FORWARD, WE CAN DEFEND IT AND IT'S DEFENSIBLE. LIKE I SAY, IT'S NOT A LOT OF MONEY, COUNCILMAN HEDRICK, IT'S ABOUT 18% OF THE BUDGET AND OUR BUDGETS, ALMOST HALF $1 BILLION. $465 MILLION. IS THE WATER JUST THE WATER BUDGET WHEN YOU ROLL IN THE OTHER TWO, THE WASTEWATER AND SOLID WASTE. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 800, ALMOST $800 MILLION FOR A BUDGET. SO I THINK IT'S YET TO BE DETERMINED. WE HAVEN'T MADE ANY FIRM DECISIONS YET. THE BOARD HASN'T, WE WERE STILL LOOKING IN. THE CUSTOMERS ARE TALKING, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE TALKING. IT'S A GOOD CONVERSATION. IT'S NOT A, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT A FIGHT YET, AND I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WILL BE. THEY MAY STAIR STEP IT IN, YOU KNOW, THEY MAY DO A FEW PERCENT NOW, A FEW, YOU KNOW, JUST ADD A FEW PERCENT AS WE GO ALONG UNTIL WE GET TO WHERE WE NEED TO BE, HOPEFULLY WE CAN DO THAT. I DON'T LIKE TO GO TO THE COURTHOUSE. THOSE ATTORNEYS COST A LOT OF MONEY. AND WHERE DO YOU THINK WE NEED TO BE? YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW, LIKE I SAY, I'M WAITING ON THE REPORT TO COME BACK FROM OUR CONSULTANTS. I KNOW IT WAS A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN I WAS SURPRISED. IT WASN'T A WHOLE LOT MORE. I THOUGHT IT'D BE A DIME OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND I THINK THE FIRST BLUSH WAS LIKE 6 OR $0.07. IT WASN'T A WHOLE LOT MORE THAT WE COULD ACTUALLY DEFEND. AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THAT WAS BASED ON THE BONDS. YOU KNOW, THE BOND RATING WE HAVE GREAT BOND RATINGS. THE DISTRICT HAS SOME OF THE BEST BOND RATINGS IN THE STATE. I MEAN, TRIPLE A, WHATEVER THE HIGHEST RATINGS ARE, WE HAVE THAT AND THE CUSTOMER CITIES BENEFIT FROM THAT BECAUSE WE CAN BORROW MONEY, YOU KNOW, AND BUILD STUFF FOR THEM AND THEY PAY US BACK, YOU KNOW, SO THEY DO BENEFIT, FROM THAT. BUT WHAT IS THAT BENEFIT? HOW MUCH IS THAT BENEFIT? HOW MUCH IS THEY PAY DEBT SERVICE. THEY PAY EVERYTHING THAT WE PAY. THE ONLY THING THEY DON'T HAVE IS THE DEBT. THEY DON'T HAVE THAT THEY'RE NOT LOCKED IN TO PAYING THAT DEBT OFF UNTIL IT'S GONE. AND THE CITIES, THE MEMBER CITIES DO. SO THAT'S THAT'S THE BENEFIT. THAT'S THE MAIN BENEFIT. MR. MAYOR, WE REALLY NEED TO TIGHTEN UP THE WE'RE WELL OUTSIDE. I'M SORRY, OF THE BOUNDS HERE. THAT'S ALL. THANK

[00:20:03]

AND NEXT UP WILL BE RYAN TIMMONS . MR. TIMMONS, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US THIS EVENING. AND AGAIN, WE'LL GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE US WHAT YOUR INTERESTS ARE. WHAT'S YOUR EXPERIENCE? ANYTHING YOU WANT TO TELL US? A BIT OF A TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW. IT'S ALL RIGHT. I PROBABLY DON'T HAVE QUITE AS MUCH EXPERIENCE. I'M A WATER RESOURCES ENGINEER. I WORK IN PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT. I WORK FOR A COMPANY CALLED HNTB. WE DESIGNED INFRASTRUCTURE ROADWAYS LARGELY FOR TECH STOCKS. SO A LOT OF DRAINAGE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT I'M DESIGNING AROUND THE STATE, AROUND THE COUNTRY, REALLY. I GOT MY DEGREE FROM TEXAS TECH IN ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING, WHICH WAS FOCUSED ON WASTEWATER TREATMENT. SO I'VE ALWAYS BEEN PASSIONATE ABOUT WATER. MY FAMILY LIVED MOVED HERE NOT LONG AFTER GRADUATION. WE JUST HAD TWO CHILDREN PLANTING OUR ROOTS HERE, AND I WANT TO COMBINE THE CITY I LIVE IN WITH THE PASSION OF MY CAREER, AND I WOULD BE HONORED IF I COULD SERVE ON THE CITY, SERVE ON BEHALF OF THE CITY FOR THE MUNICIPAL BOARD. OKAY, VERY GOOD. ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. TIMMONS? OH, THERE WE GO. IT'S LIKE I HEAR I HEAR BEEPING, COUNCILMEMBER HEDRICK THANK YOU MAYOR. IT SAID ON IT MUST HAVE BEEN STILL ON FROM THE PREVIOUS ONE. BUT, BASICALLY SAME QUESTION. HOW DO YOU HOW WOULD YOU BE AN ADVOCATE FOR GARLAND, IF YOU'RE WHEN YOU'RE SERVING AS A BOARD MEMBER, I WOULD HAVE TO APPROACH IT JUST AS A CITIZEN OF THE CITY, SAY WHATEVER I WOULD BELIEVE TO BE BEST ON THE BEHALF OF THE CITY, FOR ALL THE CITIZENS IN TERMS OF DISTRIBUTION AND ALL ELSE AT THE, AT THE BOARD, OR THAT THE NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT DOES, IT WOULD HAVE TO COME DOWN TO A CASE BY CASE BASIS IF IT'S EITHER DISTRIBUTION, IF IT'S WATER, IF IT'S SEWAGE, ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE ENCAPSULATED IN THAT. YEAH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MAYOR.

VERY GOOD, NEXT UP, DEPUTY MAYOR, PRO TEM MOORE. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR, YES. YOU'RE RIGHT.

THAT'S A LITTLE DIFFICULT ACT TO FOLLOW. AT THE SAME TIME, THOUGH , I'M JUST SITTING HERE LOOKING AT YOU AND JUST KIND OF LISTENING TO THE MAN ABOUT WHAT? YOU TALK AND REPRESENT YOURSELF.

I THINK YOU DO THAT QUITE WELL. A QUESTION FOR YOU IS, AT THIS POINT, I KNOW THAT YOU'VE HAD OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE, CIRCUMSTANCES AND SITUATIONS FACING THE CITY. WERE YOU TO BE ABLE TO BE ON THE BOARD? WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU THINK THAT YOU MAY LIFT UP, THAT WE MAY BE NOT DOING NOW, THAT WOULD BE BETTER FOR US IN THE LONG RUN IN TERMS OF WHAT I'VE WITNESSED, OBVIOUSLY, OUTSIDE OF WHAT WE JUST HAD THIS PAST WEEK, IS LARGELY JUST BEEN DRAINAGE ISSUES. I SEE A LOT OF POOLING. I SEE A LOT OF SPREAD ON ROADSIDES. I SEE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY FOR PROJECTS THAT COULD BE EXPANDING ROADWAYS, WAYS THAT COULD ALSO INCLUDE DRAINAGE INFRASTRUCTURE, IMPROVEMENTS THAT GOES SPECIFICALLY IN MY OWN NEIGHBORHOOD, EVEN WHERE EVEN TODAY, WALKING OUT TO MY CAR, IT'S THE STREETS ALMOST COMPLETELY UNDERWATER. SO I SEE A LOT OF FLOODING ISSUES. I SEE A LOT OF DRAINAGE ISSUES. NOW, I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S SPECIFICALLY TAILORED TO THE MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT, BUT THOSE ARE THE MAIN ISSUES I'VE SEEN IN MY TIME HERE. MY TIME HERE HAS BEEN SHORT, TO BE HONEST. WE MOVED HERE THREE YEARS AGO, BUT THOSE ARE THE MAIN THINGS I'VE NOTICED AND THINGS THAT I WOULD WANT TO BE A PROPONENT FOR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. THANK YOU, SIR, AND MAYOR PRO TEM BASS, THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU, COMING AND STEPPING FORWARD AND SHOWING, YOU KNOW, THE ABILITY, THE DESIRE TO, TO SERVE REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE THAT, QUESTION I HAVE FOR YOU IS, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF POPULATION GROWTH. WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO HAVE A LOT OF POPULATION GROWTH IN OUR REGION, HAVE YOU GIVEN ANY THOUGHT TO, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S YOUR PERSPECTIVE ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO KEEP UP WITH THE DEMAND FOR WATER, WITH OUR POPULATION GROWTH? PERHAPS NOT IN REGARDS TO WHAT THE MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT WOULD SEE, AS I KNOW THAT'S MORE OF A DISTRIBUTION OF DRINKING WATER, NOT DRINKING WATER, BUT STORAGE WATER. THINGS SEWAGE OR NOT SEWAGE, BUT TREATMENT OF SEWAGE AND THINGS OF THAT SORT. SO WHEN THAT COMES IN THE POPULATION GROWTH, YOU HAVE MORE SEWAGE, YOU HAVE MORE DEMAND FOR WATER. SO I SUPPOSE I HAVEN'T CONSIDERED THAT IN TERMS OF HOW I WOULD HANDLE THAT. BUT I DO KNOW TYPES OF DESIGNS THAT GO

[00:25:07]

AWESOME. YEAH, AND I DO APPRECIATE THAT, YOU BRING A DIDIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. AND ITS ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES ON THINGS. THANK YOU. MAYOR VERY GOOD. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? I SEE NONE, MR. TIMMONS. THANK YOU. AND COUNCIL, WE WILL, TAKE THIS UP ON TOMORROW NIGHT'S AGENDA FOR FORMAL CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU. SIR APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

[3. Staff Update on Storm Recovery and Power Restoration Efforts]

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. WE'LL START OFF WITH AN OVERVIEW OF THE NOT OF THE ORIGINAL STORM.

WE'VE HAD SEVERAL SINCE, AND THEN WE'LL JUST KIND OF TAKE YOU THROUGH THAT TIMELINE. SO FIRST OF ALL, OBVIOUSLY IT WAS, EARLY MORNING ON MAY 28TH, THE FIRST TIME WE ACTIVATED SIRENS WAS RIGHT AT 552. THAT WAS RELATED TO HIGH WINDS AND HAIL THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO BE IMMINENT FOR THE CITY, THEN FAST FORWARDING THAT YOUR EMERGENCY. I'M SORRY SYSTEM. CALL ME TUESDAY AT 604 AND TOLD ME THERE WAS A TORNADO OVER MY HOUSE TO GET IN THE HALL. NOW THEY SAVED MY LIFE. MY HOUSE WAS DESTROYED AND A TREE FELL THROUGH IT WHERE I WAS SITTING AND EVERYTHING. AND I'M ELDERLY D IT SAVED MY LIFE. SO PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THAT THIS SAVES LIVES. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[00:30:02]

SO LOOKING AT THE 2015 TORNADO AND I REALIZE AND ONE THING THAT MADE THE 15 TORNADO OBVIOUSLY SEEM MORE SEVERE WAS THE FATALITIES, WE WERE EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT WE DID NOT HAVE ANY FATALITIES. AT LEAST NOT ANY THAT WERE REPORTED RELATED TO THIS TORNADO, BUT TO PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE, THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ASSESSED STRUCTURES WAS 215. AND THEN YOU CAN SEE AND I'LL JUST

[00:35:08]

YES. GARLAND HAS 1064 OF THOSE. THERE HAVE BEEN THREE CITIES THAT HAVE ISSUED A DECLARATION.

AS FAR AS THE LAST COUNT WE HAD, IT WAS US, RICHARDSON AND ROWLETT. AND FROM CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM, THEY'RE NOWHERE CLOSE. THEY'RE NOT THEY'RE PROBABLY NOT EVEN GOING TO FINISH ENTERING NUMBERS, BECAUSE THEY JUST DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING THAT THEY NEED TO DEAL WITH, OTHER THAN WHAT THEY'RE DEALING WITH CURRENTLY. SO I DON'T KNOW, ROWLETT MAY, BUT RICHARDSON WAS, SAYING THEY WEREN'T REALLY SURE IT WAS WORTH ALL THE TROUBLE TO ENTER EVERYTHING BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THEY WERE GOING TO BE ABLE TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE. THAT MAY CHANGE, OBVIOUSLY, AS THEIR DAMAGE ASSESSMENTS COME IN, AND WE'LL SEE HOW THOSE NUMBERS PLAY OUT AS FAR AS PUBLIC ASSISTANCE. SO I DO HAVE A SLIDE TO KIND OF SHOW YOU THE DIFFERENCE. BUT, ANY KIND OF PUBLIC ASSISTANCE AND WHAT WE ENTER ON THAT PUBLIC FACILITY SIDE ARE THINGS THAT ARE ACTUALLY CITY OWNED OR CITY DAMAGED OR SOMETHING THAT WE ARE HAVING TO CLEAN UP. SO CURRENTLY THE TOTAL FOR THAT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT NUMBER HELPS IF I KEEP UP WITH MY SLIDES, TOTAL FOR THAT RIGHT NOW IS 1.69 MILLION, FOR THE DAMAGE COST. AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN ENTERED. WE HAVEN'T EVEN REALLY GOT INTO WHAT ALL THE DEBRIS IS GOING TO COST YET. IN ADDITION TO THAT, WHAT THIS NUMBER DOES NOT INCLUDE YET IS THE RESPONSE FOR PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT. AND THAT TOTAL RIGHT NOW IS 1.9 MILLION. SO WE'RE AT 3.5 MILLION AND WE'RE SEVEN DAYS IN. SO WE KNOW THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE FAR MORE SIGNIFICANT THAN WHAT WE'VE SEEN IN SOME OF THE PRIOR STORMS. WE DON'T HAVE A SLOT FOR THIS, BUT TO EXPLAIN WHAT'S HAPPENING. SO WITH THE WIDESPREAD NATURE OF THE DAMAGE, WHAT OUR FOCUS FOR A LOT OF OUR, EFFORTS RIGHT NOW ARE GOING TO IS COMMUNICATION TO THE PUBLIC AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY KNOW WHAT ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE AND WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN. SO WE HAVE A PACKET OF INFORMATION, UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE TO DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND EVERY DAY AND SAY, THIS IS IT. WHATEVER'S HE IS WHAT WE'RE DOING TODAY, WE ARE WORKING TO TRANSLATE THOSE PACKETS INTO SPANISH AND VIETNAMESE. SOME OF THAT WORK WAS DONE TODAY, IN A COMBINED EFFORT BETWEEN REALLY ALL THE OPERATIONAL DEPARTMENTS, BUT CODE AND THEEALTH INSPECTORS ARE GOING DOOR TO DOOR FOR ALL THE ADDRESSES THAT GPL AND ENCORE HAVE IDENTIFIED AS HAVING MOST LIKELY. AND I KNOW THAT THEY WILL EXPLAIN THIS MUCH BETTER THAN ME, BUT METER DAMAGE OR PROPERTY, SOME TYPE OF DAMAGE ON THEIR PROPERTY THAT'S KEEPING THEIR POWER FROM BEING ON. SO WE ARE HITTING THOSE DOOR TO DOOR WITH CODE AND HEALTH INSPECTORS, IF WE DON'T GET SOMEBODY, WE'RE LEAVING THE PACKET. IF WE DO GET SOMEBODY, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE HAVING A CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT THEY NEED, THAT BEING SAID, TODAY WE HAD A OUR THE STARTING LIST WE HAD WAS 120. AND THE NUMBERS I GOT BEFORE I GOT IN HERE, THEY HAD ONLY NOT GOTTEN TO SIX. SO THAT'S WHERE TODAY'S STANDS. TOMORROW WILL BE A BRAND NEW LIST AND A BRAND NEW DAY.

ALL RIRIGHT, THEAYOR ASKED ME TO GO REALLY QUICKLY THROUGH, DISASTER DECLARATION PROCESS. SO THIS IS GOVERNED BY STATE LAW. WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE IN HOW THIS WORKS. BUT WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT THE MAYOR ISSUES THE INITIAL DECLARATION. HE HAS SEVEN DAYS FROM THE TIME OF THAT

[00:40:02]

LUCKILY, THE STATE HAS COMBINED AND EFFORTS AND THEY'VE COMBINED STORMS. SO THEY'RE TRYING TO GET A CUMULATIVE AMOUNT FOR SORT OF THIS STORM. BUT I'M GOING TO CALL A STORM COMPLEX. THAT'S NOT REALLY ACCURATE WORDING, BUT IT'S JUST, THEY TRY TO KIND OF GROUP STORMS TOGETHER, LOCK STORMS, AND CLOSE AREAS. BUT NO MATTER WHAT, THE STATE MAY GET THEIR 57 MILLION. IF DALLAS COUNTY DOESN'T GET THEIR 12, WE'RE NOWHERE CLOSE. AND IF YOU WERE ABLE TO SEE LIKE THE STAT NUMBERS THAT WE ENTERED OR THAT I SHOWED YOU EARLIER, THAT'S WE'RE NOT ANYWHERE CLOSE RIGHT NOW. SO WE'RE NOT ANTICIPATING THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR ANY PUBLIC ASSISTANCE. SO, RIGHT NOW WHAT WE'RE REALLY FIGHTING FOR IS THE LEFT SIDE OF THIS, WHICH IS FOR INDIVIDUAL ASSISTANCE. IT'S WHAT OUR CITIZENS CAN APPLY FOR AND, GET ASSISTANCE FOR THEIR PERSONAL PROPERTY, AGAIN, IT'S UNDERINSURED OR UNINSURED AND IT CAN BE RENTING PROPERTY OR RENTAL PROPERTY ASSISTANCE. BUT, FOR TEMPORARY HOUSING THAT TYPE OF ASSISTANCE AND IT CAN BE, YOU KNOW, TO REPAIR THEIR HOME. BUT SO THAT'S KIND OF THAT THE RIGHT SIDE WAS WHAT I EXPLAINED BEFORE, WHICH IS DAMAGE TO OUR FACILITY AND THINGS THAT WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING, WITH THAT, BEFORE I HAND IT OVER TO, TO GAL, I JUST WANT TO BRING UP AND HIGHLIGHT ONE MORE THING THAT'S REALLY BEEN A STRUGGLE. SO WE LEFT IT PRETTY GENERIC, AND I'M NOT INTENDING THAT. I'M CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO READ THROUGH ALL THIS, BUT JUST TO GIVE YOU A FRAME OF REFERENCE, TYPICALLY YOU HAVE A BIG STORM AND THEN IT GOES AWAY AND THEN YOU GET TO HAVE SOME DRY WEATHER TO ACTUALLY CLEAN UP, WE HAVE NOT HAD THAT AT ALL. YOU ALL KNOW THAT. BUT OUT OF, FOR THE LAST SEVEN DAYS, THE RAIN GAUGES THAT WE HAVE HAVE ESTIMATED 9 TO 10IN. I WOULD SAY THAT'S SHORT.

HONESTLY, FOR SOME AREAS, WE'VE HAD TO CLOSE THE FLOOD GATES ALMOST EVERY SINGLE DAY, AND IT SHOWS RAIN MULTIPLE DAYS. THERE WAS ONLY ONE DAY SINCE WE STARTED THIS THAT WE HAVEN'T HAD A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RAIN DURING OPERATIONAL HOURS, AND THAT WAS ON THE 31ST. BESIDES THAT, WE'VE HAD TO STOP OPERATIONS FOR LIGHTNING, HIGH WINDS AND THUNDERSTORMS, BOTH ISOLATED AND WIDESPREAD. SO WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID, I THINK IT'S JUST WORTH PART OF THAT CONVERSATION, ESPECIALLY AS GPN GETS UP AND EXPLAINS WHERE THEY ARE, IS THAT THIS IS NOT LIKE

[00:45:08]

I DON'T WANT TO BE. DARYL. IF YOU COULD, HOP BACK HERE. YEAH, I KNOW, JOIN THE FUN. THANK YOU.

DARYL AND ALSO, IF YOU COULD, INTRODUCE EVERYONE, PLEASE. SURE, MAYOR, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, I'VE GOT WITH ME TONIGHT, MR. MATT CARTER, HE IS OUR OPERATIONS MANAGER. SO IF YOU THINK OF OUR DISPATCH, AS WELL AS THE SWITCHING OF THE POWER, THIS IS THE MAN THAT'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT GROUP. AND THEN I'VE GOT JONAS WHITEHEAD HERE, WHO IS OUR DISTRIBUTION DIRECTOR, AND SO, FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO APOLOGIZE. I DON'T HAVE A BUNCH OF NUMBERS, A BUNCH OF FACTS AND FIGURES. I'VE GOT A BUNCH OF PICTURES, ALSO APOLOGIZE JUST UP FRONT, I THINK BETWEEN THREE OF US, THERE'S A LITTLE LACK OF SLEEP, AND I THINK WE'RE ALL A LITTLE PUNCHY, AND SO, I'M AFRAID, DARYL. MORE OF DARYL MAY COME OUT, AND I'M HOPING MY FATHER DOESN'T COME OUT WHILE I'M UP HERE, SO WE'LL WE'LL SEE HOW THIS GOES. AND IF I GET A LITTLE EMOTIONAL, I'LL JUST GET A LITTLE EMOTIONAL. SO, THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE GONE THROUGH THE NEW COUNCIL MEMBER ORIENTATION, YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THIS SLIDE SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY IN THE PRESENTATION, THERE'S TWO MAIN, METRICS THAT ARE USED TO LOOK AT DISTRIBUTION, RELIABILITY IN THE INDUSTRY. AND IT'S BASED UPON INTERRUPTIONS PER CUSTOMER AND THE OUTAGE OF DURATION. BASICALLY. HOW LONG ARE YOU OUT AND HOW FREQUENTLY DOES IT HAPPEN? IT'S CALLED SAFETY AND SAFETY. IF YOU WANT TO GET INTO THE INDUSTRY TERM TERMINOLOGY, WE GARLAND POWER AND LIGHT ROUTINELY, NOT JUST BEATS THE INDUSTRY AVERAGE. WE CRUSH IT. WE'RE A THIRD OF THE AVERAGE FOR BOTH OF THOSE ITEMS. AND THAT'S ON A CONSISTENT BASIS. AND WE EMBRACE THAT. WE EXPECT THAT OUT OF OURSELVES THAT WE HAVE THAT HIGH LEVEL OF RELIABILITY AND RESPONSIVENESS, AND IT'S BEEN COME TO EXPECT IT OUT OF OUR CUSTOMERS AS WELL. THAT'S JUST HOW THEY KNOW GAL WHEN THERE'S AN OUTAGE, THEY'RE CARE OF. AND WE LIKE A LITTLEEN COMPETITION WITH OUR NEIGHBOR. IT'S A LITTLE BIT LARGER NEIGHBOR. AND YOU KNOW, WE HEAR THE STORIES OF, YEAH, MY POWER WAS ON BUT THERE WAS WAS OUT OR MINE GOT RESTORED FASTER. WE TAKE PRIDE IN THAT. WE'RE GLAD TO HAVE THAT EXPECTATION ASSOCIATED WITH US. THIS SITUATION IS GOING TO BE BECAUSE I DON'T THINK WE, UNDERSTAND JUST THE MAGNITUDE OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH REGARDS TO THE IMPACT TO OUR SYSTEM. AND THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH, AND JUST KIND OF DISCUSS WITH YOU THE ISSUES WE FACED, THE ISSUES THAT CAME ABOUT WITH THIS. SO WE CAN APPRECIATE BECAUSE OF THAT EXPECTATION, THE CUSTOMERS HAVE, THE FRUSTRATION THEY'RE HAVING. I MEAN, THIS IS A MAJOR, HUGE DISRUPTION TO THEIR LIVES, THERE'S A COST TO IT, SO WE TOTALLY UNDERSTAND AND WE APPRECIATE THAT FRUSTRATION. AND I WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW AND I WANT THE PUBLIC TO KNOW WE'RE FRUSTRATED. THIS IS THIS IS NOT WHAT WE WANT. WE WANT YOUR POWER ON. AND I CAN TELL YOU, I WAS TALKING TO ONE OF OUR LINEMEN. AND IF YOU KNOW ANY OF OUR LINEMEN, YOU KNOW THE BIG BURLY, YOU KNOW, TOUGH KIND OF GUYS, ONE OF THEM THAT'S BEEN WITH US FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. HE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID, DARYL, IT'S HEARTBREAKING. WHAT I'M SEEING BECAUSE I HAVE THESE PEOPLE COMING UP TO ME WHILE I'M OUT HERE AND I CAN'T GET THEIR POWER ON, AND WE'RE SURROUNDED BY ALL THIS DEBRIS. WHILE HE'S TALKING TO ME, AND YOU CAN TELL IT HURTS HIM. IT'S HURTING OUR FOLKS. WE WANT TO HAVE THAT POWER BACK ON, AND WE'RE STRUGGLING TO GET IT BACK ON. FOR US, THIS IS THE REASON WHY WE'VE GOT THIS. THIS ISSUE IS WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS MAP, YOU CAN SEE THE DAMAGE AREA FOR GARLAND POWER AND LIGHT FACILITIES. BASICALLY, YOU LOOK UP AROUND THE NORTHWEST CORNER, START AROUND THE YALE AREA. YOU COME DOWN ALL THE WAY TO CENTERVILLE A LITTLE BIT

[00:50:07]

THIS IS SOME OF THE WORST STUFF WE'VE SEEN. I'LL ASK JONAS IF HE'LL IF HE'LL, TELL US ABOUT THE PERSON WHO YOU TALKED WITH TODAY. THAT'S WITH SAN ANTONIO CPS ENERGY WHO CAME IN TO HELP US. IF YOU CAN TELL US WHO THAT PERSON IS AND WHAT HE SAID WITH REGARDS TO WHAT HE'S SEEN WHILE HE'S BEEN HERE. SO SAN ANTONIO, IF Y'ALL DON'T KNOW, IS THE LARGEST MUNICIPAL POWER IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. SO THEY SERVE ALMOST A MILLION CUSTOMERS. AND SO THEY GO TO STORM RESTORATIONS ACROSS THE US, SPECIFICALLY AROUND CENTER POINT GULF COAST REGION DOWN THERE HELPING OUT.

WELL, ANYWAY, THEY'RE UP HERE HELPING US AND THEIR DIRECTOR OF THE NORTH DIVISION OPERATIONS.

HIS NAME IS LARRY. HE'S WHO I'VE BEEN TALKING TO. AND I ASKED HIM TODAY, I'M LIKE, SO HOW DOES THIS RELATE TO SOME OF THE STORMS THAT YOU'VE BEEN ON IN THE PAST? BECAUSE HE'S BEEN IN THE INDUSTRY 30 PLUS YEARS, HE'S SEEN STORMS. THEY'VE BEEN, YOU KNOW, MUTUAL AID ASSISTANT WITH OTHER UTILITIES AND STUFF. HE SAID HE'S BEEN TO CENTER POINT. JIA JIA IS, JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA DOWN THERE, AND HE ALSO WENT TO PUERTO RICO. HE SAID THIS WORST STORMS, HE'S BEEN ON AT ALL OF THOS AND SO IF Y'ALL REMEMBER PUERTO RICO, PUERTO RICO GOT WIPED OUT COMPLETELY.

AND HE SAYS, AS FAR AS THE AMOUNT OF DAGE AND VEGETATION AND STUFF, THIS IS WORSE THAN THAT. AND SO THAT WAS JUST KIND OF EYE OPENING TO US ON SOME OF THE STUFF, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE SEE GARLAND, WE SEE STORMS, WE HAVE TORNADOES, WE'VE HAD FLOODS, WE'VE HAD ICE STORMS. I'VE BEEN IN THE INDUSTRY FOR 28 YEARS, AND THIS IS THE WORST ONE I'VE EVER WORKED. AND SO THIS IS , THIS WAS THIS WAS BAD. IT WAS REALLY BAD. CAN YOU TELL THEM ABOUT APA? YEAH, ALSO, LARRY IS THE, TEXAS COORDINATOR FOR APA, WHICH IS AMERICAN PUBLIC POWER ASSOCIATION. AS FAR AS MUTUAL AID RESPONSE. AND SO WHENEVER YOU CONTACT APA AND TELL THEM YOU NEED MUTUAL AID, IT COMES FROM NATIONWIDE. YOU MAY GET CREWS FROM NEW YORK, CREWS FROM WASHINGTON, CALIFORNIA TO EITHER COAST. IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYWAY. HE'S THE COORDINATOR FOR TEXAS. AND HE SAID, ACTUALLY, APA REACHED OUT TO HIM TODAY AND SAID, WE KNOW THERE'S DESTRUCTION THERE IN GARLAND.

ARE Y'ALL OKAY? DO Y'ALL NEED MORE HELP? NEVER HAS APA EVER REACHED OUT TO AN ORGANIZATION LIKE THAT. USUALLY IT'S THE ORGANIZATION REACHING OUT. THAT'S HOW BAD THIS IS.

TYPICALLY, WHEN YOU SEE APA INVOLVED, IT'S A HURRICANE BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A LEVEL OF DESTRUCTION. SO I AGAIN, IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT PERSPECTIVE BECAUSE SOME OF THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE INDUSTRY, US THAT HAVE SEEN THINGS OVER THE YEARS, WE RECOGNIZE THE LEVEL OF THIS FROM FROM AN ELECTRIC UTILITY STANDPOINT, WHAT TYPE OF DEVASTATION IN GARLAND JUST FACED AND IT'S WIDESPREAD WHEN YOU GO OUT THERE. I MEAN, IF YOU HAVEN'T, I DON'T WANT YOU TO GO OUT THERE AND DRIVE IT. AND PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, OUT THERE DRIVING, JUST GO SEE IT. BUT IT'S UNBELIEVABLE WHAT WHAT THE DEVASTATION LOOKS LIKE. SO LET ME TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT KIND OF HOW THINGS UNFOLDED FOR US WITH THE STORM AND GIVE YOU SOME PERSPECTIVE OF THE MAGNITUDE OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. STORM STARTS COMING IN AROUND 6 A.M. AND WE START GETTING

[00:55:08]

WHAT IS WHAT IS, SEAN? WHAT? SEAN. SEAN'S, OPERATIONS SUPERVISOR. OPERATIONS SUPERVISOR. SEAN'S BEEN WITH US. FOR WHAT, 30 PLUS YEARS? A LONG TIME. SOME OF Y'ALL PROBABLY MET HIM. WHEN YOU'VE DONE YOUR TOURS OF THE SYSTEM OPERATIONS PLACE. SEAN'S A STRAIGHT SHOOTER. IF HE TELLS YOU SOMETHING, IT IS WHAT IT IS. HE TAKES IT OUT AND SAID, I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING THIS BAD. FEEDERS KEEP GOING OFF. WE GET UP TO 31, 33, 33, 33 FEEDERS LOCK OUT ARE AT OUR PEAK. WE HAVE OVER 35,000 CUSTOMERS WITHOUT POWER. WE HAVE 75,000 CUSTOMERS OVER 45. ALMOST 50% OF OUR CUSTOMERS AT ONE TIME WERE WITHOUT POWER. WE DROPPED LOAD IN HALF IN THE CITY. PUT THIS IN PERSPECTIVE. IF YOU LOOK AT A TEN YEAR ROLLING AVERAGE, WHAT WE DO ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, AS FAR AS TOTAL OUTAGES FOR CUSTOMERS IS 25,000. IN ONE HOUR, WE HAD MORE CUSTOMERS OUT THAN WE WOULD HAVE IN A YEAR. FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE, 45% OF ONCOR'S CUSTOMERS, IF THEY HAD HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE, THEY HAD HAD 1.8 MILLION CUSTOMERS OUT. THAT'S HOW BIG THIS ISSUE IS FOR US. AND WITHIN 12 HOURS, WE'RE DOWN TO 8000 CUSTOMERS WITHOUT POWER, ALMOST 10. THAT'S HUGE. I DON'T UNLESS YOU'RE IN THE INDUSTRY, YOU DON'T GET WHAT JUST HAPPENED. THAT IS HUGE.

EXCUSE ME. I'LL GET THROUGH IT. THANKS TO THESE GUYS HERE. AND THERE'S GUYS. I MEAN, THE RESPONSE THAT WAS HAD WITHIN THOSE 12 HOURS, EVERY HAND WAS ON DECK OUT THERE. YOUR GUYS OUT THERE SWITCHING POWER, MAKING SURE PEOPLE WEREN'T GETTING ELECTROCUTED. YEAH. JUST LET Y'ALL KNOW THERE WERE TWO FATALITIES BY TWO DIFFERENT UTILITIES OF THIS RESPONSE. BECAUSE A HOT WIRE. THIS IS DANGEROUS STUFF. YOUR GUYS OUT THERE MAKING SURE EVERYTHING'S GETTING TURNED ON, GETTING. IT'S AMAZING. WHAT WHAT WHAT YOU GUYS DID PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE OF WHAT THEY DID ON CORE. IF THEY HAD 1.8 MILLION CUSTOMERS OUT, THEY WOULD HAVE GONE DOWN TO 400,000 CUSTOMERS OUT IN 12 HOURS. THEY HAD 650,000 CUSTOMERS OUT AT THEIR PEAK. THEY WOULD HAVE GONE DOWN TO 150,000 CUSTOMERS IN 12 HOURS.

THAT'S THE MAGNITUDE 27,000 CUSTOMERS ASSUME TWO AND A HALF, TWO AND A HALF CUSTOMERS OR PEOPLE PER CUSTOMER. THAT'S ROUGHLY WHAT YOU CAN ASSUME. THAT'S OVER 67,000 PEOPLE THAT THEY GOT BACK ON IN POWER 12 HOURS. THEN WE HIT THE WALL. THAT'S THE REALITY. WHENEVER YOU DO ANYTHING WITH REGARDS TO A HURRICANE CLEANUP, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT INITIAL RESPONSE.

YOU GET OUT THERE. YOU YOU HIT THE LOW HANGING FRUIT, TRY TO GET YOUR FEEDERS BACK ON, AND THEN REALITY STARTS HITTING IN BECAUSE NOW YOU'RE DOWN, STARTING TO GET TO THE LATERALS AND YOUR BROKEN FEEDERS, AND THAT'S WHEN THINGS START SLOWING DOWN. AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE STARTED FOCUSING ON. SO I KNOW PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE QUESTIONS. I'M GONNA TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE RESTORATION PROCESS. BUT BASICALLY WE START LOOKING AT HOW CAN WE GET THE MOST NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS ON IN THE SHORTEST AMOUNT OF TIME. I DON'T READ THE SOCIAL MEDIA, I STAY AWAY FROM IT. BUT I DO HAVE PEOPLE THAT LET ME KNOW. I'VE HEARD COMMENTS LIKE, WELL, YOU SHOULD HAVE STARTED WITH THE HARDEST HIT AREAS FIRST. NO, THAT IS NOT INDUSTRY PRACTICE BECAUSE YOU WOULD BE HAVING MANY PEOPLE WITHOUT POWER FOCUSING ON THOSE FEW THAT YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO GET BACK ON THE WAY WE APPROACH THIS IS THE WAY IT'S APPROACHED IN THE INDUSTRY. YOU GET YOUR MOST CUSTOMERS ON THE QUICKEST AND THEN YOU WORK YOUR WAY TOWARDS THOSE HARDEST AREAS. LAST OUT. AND THAT'S WHAT WE DID AND THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SEEING LITTLE BY LITTLE AS WE GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS, THE NUMBERS SLOW DOWN AND THAT'S

[01:00:04]

SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS AN UNIMPROVED ALLEY. LOOK HOW WET IT IS. AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IN THE WORLD COULD BE BEHIND THOSE TREES. YOU GOT TO GET VEGETATION MANAGEMENT CREWS IN THERE. WE HAD HOW MANY TIMES WHERE WE HAVE IN TRUCKS GET STUCK AND PULL OUT QUITE A FEW.

AND SO IF YOU CAN'T GET YOUR TRUCKS IN THERE AND WE'LL SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES, GUESS WHAT YOU GET TO DO? YOU GET TO CLIMB THE POLE, OR YOU GET TO MANUALLY GO OUT THERE BY HAND AND TAKE THE VEGETATION DOWN. YOU MAY HAVE TO MANUALLY CARRY TRANSFORMERS, POLES. THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON THROUGH THESE AREAS. GIVE YOU AN INDICATION OF SOME OF THE VEGETATION HAVING TO BE CLEARED O. HUGE TREES. HOW LONG WOULD THIS PROJECT TAKE? BECAUSE GIVEN THE NATURE OF THIS POLE. 6 TO 8 HOURS, 6 TO 8 HOURS. CHANGE THAT POLE OUT. YOU THINK? WELL, IT'S JUST A POLE.

JUST CHANGE IT OUT. IT'S ONE OF SEVERAL 6 TO 8 HOURS. WHAT? TWO CREWS. THREE. WE AT LEAST HAVE TWO OUT THERE BECAUSE IT'S GOT THE CAPACITOR BANK ON IT AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THAT POLE. THERE'S MORE VEGETATION, MORE YOU SEE, THE BROKE POLE IN THE BACKGROUND? AGAIN, UNIMPROVED ALLEYS HAVING TO GO IN. AND LOOK AT THE CONDITIONS THEY'RE WORKING IN. TRYING TO GET BACK VALLEYS. YOU GOT THESE BIG VEHICLES TRYING TO GET IN, IN AND OUT WITH THESE POLES DOWN . THAT'S WHAT MAKES THIS SO DIFFICULT. YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE IF YOU'RE IN A COUNTRY AREA WHERE YOU'VE GOT HURRICANE TYPE OF DAMAGE, YOU JUST CLEAR CUT IT AND YOU JUST GO IN AND REPLACE THIS. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH A NEIGHBORHOOD AND CLEAR CUT. SO WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PUT THESE ALL THESE VEHICLES BACK HERE. AND IT'S A SLOW, SLOW PROCESS. AND WHAT YOU HAVE TO REALIZE BECAUSE YOU'RE IN A CONFINED AREA IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. YOU BETTER BE SLOW. WE TELL OUR FOLKS AT THE END, WE WANT YOU TO GET POWER ON TO OUR CUSTOMERS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, BUT NEVER AT THE EXPENSE OF YOUR SAFETY. EVER. SO IF YOU NEED TO GO SLOW, YOU GO SLOW. JUST SOME MORE PICTURES.

AGAIN, WE GOT. HOW ELSE CAN YOU GET TO THIS AREA? YOU GOT A CREEK ON ONE SIDE, YOU GOT THE FENCES ON THE OTHER. YOU CAN'T GET EQUIPMENT BACK THERE. SO GUESS WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE DOING? YOU'RE GOING TO BE CLIMBING POLES AND CARRYING MATERIAL. THIS IS IN SOMEBODY'S

[01:05:01]

WE GOT A PROBLEM. HE SAID, DON'T WORRY, MAN, I GOT YOU. I GOT YOU TAKEN CARE OF. I GOT YOUR BACK.

HE DIDN'T JUST SEND US ANYTHING. I MEAN, THE GUY HE SENT US. HE'S THEY SENT US THE THOROUGHBREDS.

[01:10:03]

AND SO WHEN WE SAY MUTUAL AID, WHENEVER YOU'RE DOWN. JUST SEE THEM COME IN. BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE FACING. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE FACING. PECK PEDERNALES. THEY RELEASED THEM, THE CREWS AND SENT THEM UP TO US . I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH FOR. FOR WHAT? THOSE UTILITIES CAME THROUGH TO DO FOR US. AND THEN. SORRY. THEN YOU GOT OUR GUYS, MAN. IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU GOT HERE . YEAH THESE GUYS ARE AWESOME. WHAT? THEY JUST DID FOR THOSE OF US IN THE INDUSTRY, WE KNOW WHAT THEY JUST DID. THEY'RE WORKING CRAZY HOURS. THEY'RE WITHOUT POWER. THEY'VE GOT DAMAGE AT THEIR HOMES. THEY'RE UP HERE, AND THEY JUST DIDN'T RESPOND. IF YOU SEE THE DAMAGE OUT THERE AND IF YOU KNOW WHAT WHAT HURRICANE POWER RESTORATION ENTAILS, AND YOU SEE WHAT THIS LITTLE CREW FROM GARLAND PLUS THESE OTHER FOLKS COMING IN FROM THESE OTHER LITTLE MUNIZ JUST DID. I'M SORRY, MAN, I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THE LINEMEN, THE PEOPLE SUPPORTING THEM. WE'VE GOT, I THINK, A JEFF GARCIA. THE HOURS THAT GUYS PUT IN, HE'S GOT BABIES AT THE HOUSE, HE'S GOT BABIES AT THE HOUSE. AND YOUR FOLKS HOURS THEY'VE BEEN PUTTING IN. I MEAN, I'VE BEEN BUGGING YOU ATAT TWO IN THE MORNI AT AMAZING WHAT THESE GUYS JUST DID. IF YOU'RE IN THE INDUSTRY AND YOU SEE WHAT JUST HAPPENED, I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH. AND THEN I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALL OF Y'ALL, BECAUSE SOME OF Y'ALL HAVE BEEN TAKING THE BRUNT OF THIS. AND I KNOW SOME OF THE CONVERSATION IS THAT SOME OF Y'ALL BEEN HAVING I KNOW SOME CONVERSATIONS HAVE BEEN HAD WITH MY EMPLOYEES. MY DAD'S ABOUT TO COME OUT IN ME, SO I BETTER WATCH IT. BUT IT'S A SHAME. WHAT SOME THINGS HAVE BEEN SAID AND WHY SOME PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TREATED. WE HAVE SOME REALLY GOOD CUSTOMERS AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT CAME IN HERE COMMENT ON HOW GOOD SOME OF OUR CUSTOMERS AND HOW NICE THEY WERE TREATED. BUT WE HAVE SOME OTHER FOLKS THAT AREN'T AS PATIENT AND ARE AS NICE, AND WHETHER THEY REALIZE IT OR NOT, SOMETHING GREAT JUST HAPPENED HERE. AND YOU SAY, YEAH, DARRYL, BECAUSE YOU'RE THE GM OR WHATEVER. NO, YOU CAN REMOVE ME OUT OF THIS POSITION. THAT'S FINE. I'M STILL GOING TO TELL YOU THAT IS SOMETHING WONDERFUL JUST HAPPENED WITH WHAT THOSE GUYS JUST DID, GETTING THAT POWER BACK ON, GIVEN THE CONDITIONS, SHOULD HAVE MADE IT IN RECORD TIME. AND ONE OF THOSE STUPID RAIN WOULD STOP BECAUSE WE WANT TO BE. I'M SORRY. WE WANT TO BE AN ENCORE. WE TAKE A LOT OF PRIDE IN WHAT WE DO. WE WANT TO BEAT THEM. AND SO AGAIN, I THANK YOU BECAUSE I KNOW SOME OF Y'ALL WERE BUFFERS FOR ME SO THAT I COULD FOCUS ON TRYING TO HELP US GET WHERE WE NEED TO BE. AND SO I THANK YOU. I KNOW SOME OF YOU, I REALLY THINK BECAUSE I KNOW SOME OF THE STUFF THAT YOU'VE

[01:15:02]

I APOLOGIZE FOR GETTING A LITTLE EMOTIONAL, BUT I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT A ABOUT OUR FOLKS.

UNBELIEVABLE PEOPLE. JUST UNBELIEVABLE. SO LET ME PAUSE FOR A SECOND, BECAUSE I DO WANT TO COVER A FEW THINGS NOW THAT I'VE GOT OVER MY EMOTION. SO IF I'M A CUSTOMER, I'M GOING TO BE ASKING SOME THINGS. WHY DO YOU GET MORE CREWS? WELL, FIRST OF ALL, GO FIND THEM FOR ME. SECOND OF ALL, YOU REACH A CERTAIN LIMITATION. YOU REACH A SATURATION, SATURATION BASICALLY OF PEOPLE THAT YOU HAVE OUT THERE WORKING, AND YOU CAN ONLY MANAGE SO MANY BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU GET TOO MANY OUT THERE. IT'S LIKE THE OLD SAYING, YOU GOT WHAT, TOO MANY COOKS IN THE KITCHEN. IT'S THE SAME SITUATION. YOU GOT TO WATCH FOR THE SAFETY. AND WE'RE BASICALLY WE'RE GETTING TO THAT POINT WHERE WE WERE AT SATURATION. GIVE YOU AN IDEA IF YOU WANT TO DO A COMPARISON, ONCOR SAID, HEY, WE HAVE 12,000 PEOPLE WORKING ON THIS. I JUST TOOK OUR CUSTOMER COUNT, DIVIDE IT BY THEIR CUSTOMER COUNT, MULTIPLY THAT TIMES 12,000. THAT SAYS WE SHOULD HAVE HAD 255 PEOPLE WORKING ON THIS EVENT. WE HAD 276. I'D SAY WE I SAY WE WERE PRETTY GOOD, SO FROM THAT STANDPOINT, I THINK WE WERE WELL STAFFED, TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THIS AND JUST BASED UPON OTHER EXPERIENCES WITH, WITH HURRICANES. YES. AND IF WE WOULDN'T HAVE THE WEATHER, WE'D ALREADY BE FINISHED WITH THIS. OTHER THINGS, YOU KNOW, THEY MAY TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, RESTORATION PROCESS, YOU KNOW, WHY DIDN'T YOU GET TO MY HOME FIRST OR EXPLAIN TO THAT WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THE LOW HANGING FRUIT. WE'RE GOING TO GET AS MANY PEOPLE ON AS POSSIBLE. AND THE HARDEST HIT AREAS ARE GOING TO BE LAST. WHY COULDN'T YOU GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE AT TIME OF RESTORATION? LET'S GO BACK AND LOOK AT THOSE PICTURES. I'VE GOT AN ALLEY THERE. IT'S GOT A BUNCH OF TREES DOWN. TELL ME IF IT'S JUST TREES DOWN. TELL ME IF IT'S POLES DOWN. DID THE POLE HAVE A TRANSFORMER ON IT? CAN I GET MY EQUIPMENT BACK THERE? AM I GOING TO HAVE TO MANUALLY DO EVERYTHING? OH GUESS WHAT? HOW MANY ALLEYS DO WE HAVE IN THIS CITY THAT LOOK LIKE THAT? I CAN'T GIVE YOU AN ESTIMATE OF RESTORATION. WELL WHY DO YOU DO VEGETATION MANAGEMENT? YOU ALL SHOULD DO A BETTER JOB THERE. WE HAVE A CREW OF 7 OR 7. SEVEN CREWS. EXCUSE ME. SEVEN CREWS THAT THAT GO AROUND OUR SYSTEM ON A 2 TO 3 YEAR BASIS. IT'S A VERY AGGRESSIVE PROGRAM. WHY DON'T YOU LOOK AT THE LOOK AT SOME OF THOSE PICTURES AND TELL ME IF I'VE GOT A 60, 70 FOOT TREE AND I'VE GOT A 35 TO 40 FOOT POLE, AND THAT TREE IS IN SOMEBODY'S YARD, AM I ING TO GO CUT THAT TREE DOWN? DON'T THINK SO. WE FOLLOWED BY THE INDUSTRY STANDARD. YOU HAVE THIS TYPE OF EVENT. IF VEGETATION MANAGEMENT IS THE IS THE KEY IN THE ISSUE, CENTREPOINTE WOULD HAVE DONE IT A LONG TIME AGO. BECAUSE THEY HAVE A BUNCH OF HURRICANES, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE AS MANY OUTAGES AS IT'S JUST THE REALITY. WITH THIS KIND OF WIND.

WE DO VEGETATION MANAGEMENT. WE HAVE A VERY STRONG SYSTEM. WE HAVE A POLE INSPECTION PROCESS, WE INSPECT EVERY POLE ON OUR SYSTEM. WE'VE BEEN INSTALLING STEEL AND CONCRETE POLES AND OUR FEEDERS OVER THE YEARS. WE HAVE A VERY ROBUST SYSTEM, AND THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE POWER ON SO QUICKLY THAT FIRST 12 HOURS. SO I KNOW THOSE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT MAY BE OUT THERE OF QUESTIONS. LESSONS LEARNED. ANY EVENT LIKE THIS, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE LOTS OF LESSONS LEARNED. ONE OF THE LESSONS LEARNED IS WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE THE WAY WE LOOK AT OUR CONTRACTORS, WE TRIED A FEW YEARS AGO TO LOOK AT WHAT'S A MANAGEMENT SERVICE WHERE WE DON'T. JONAS IS NOT OUT THERE TRYING TO HAVE TO FIND, YOU KNOW, EMERGENCY CREWS, APPARENTLY WITH SOME PURCHASING ISSUE ASSOCIATED WITH IT. SO WE WENT THIS OTHER ROUTE. WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THAT AND LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN DO. WE'LL BE REACHING OUT TO LEGAL AND SEEING IF THERE'S SOME THINGS WE CAN DO, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT MOST PEOPLE IN THE INDUSTRY

[01:20:04]

SO I'M SURE THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE LESSONS LEARNED AS WE AS WE GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS. WE'LL HAVE A RECAP OF THIS AS WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE, INTERNALLY TO TALK ABOUT LESSONS LEARNED. BUT I'M SURE THERE'S SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS THAT ARE OUT THERE BY BY CUSTOMERS. BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT SOME OF THESE ITEMS JUST TO, YOU KNOW, JUST TO LET YOU KNOW. SORRY FOR IT BEING SO LONG. NO. THAT'S FINE. AND, WE'RE GOING TO DO QUESTIONS ALL AT THE END. SO GO GRAB A SNACK BECAUSE YOU MAY BE HERE A LITTLE BIT LONGER. MURIEL.

JUST SAYING THAT I DON'T HAVE COVID, SO THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT. I GOT TESTED TODAY.

LETICIA. I MIGHT NEED YOUR HELP. I CAN'T FIND MY PRESENTATION. IT'S NOT SORRY. OH NO. YOU WERE THERE. SOMEONE ELSE. IT'S NOT DOING IT. WHAT THE HECK? OH, SORRY. , F5 AND JUST THE. THESE TWO PRESENTATIONS WERE MERGED EARLIER IN THE EVENING, SO.

ALMOST THERE. THERE YOU GO. ALL RIGHT, MR. MAYOR. COUNCIL. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY, LET ME START BY ECHOING WHAT DARYL JUST SAID. YOU KNOW, WE ARE VERY LUCKY WE HAVE THE BEST EMPLOYEES IN THE CITY. I'VE LIVED OVERSEAS. I'VE LIVED IN OTHER STATES. AND RIGHT NOW I DON'T LIVE IN GARLAND. AND I CAN TELL YOU THE SERVICES DON'T EVEN COME CLOSE, WE TAKE PRIDE IN WHAT WE DO. SIMPLE AS THAT. WE DON'T SETTLE FOR SECOND PLACE. THAT'S WHAT YOU DID, DARYL. ALL RIGHT, SO JUST A QUICK OVERVIEW OF WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING, BASICALLY SINCE

[01:25:06]

BASICALLY, THESE ARE THE AREAS THAT WE IDENTIFY WITH THE MOST SEVERE DAMAGE, AND WE IDENTIFY THREE TWO OF THEM ARE IN DISTRICT FIVE AND ONE OF THEM IS IN DISTRICT SIX. AND THEY ARE ALL IN THURSDAY'S COLLECTIONS. AND THE ROOTS, FOR THURSDAY. SO THE FOCUS FOR THE CLEANUP GOING FORWARD IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO SEND THE CONTRACTORS TO TWO OF THIS HOT SPOTS AREAS ONE AND TWO, AND YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A MAP IN THE NEXT SLIDE, THE WAY YOU HANDLE DEBRIS IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN POWER RESTORATION AND DEBRIS CLEANUP. YOU ACTUALLY SEND YOUR CREWS TO THE HEAVIEST TO THE MOST SEVERE AFFECTED AREAS. AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE DOING. WE'RE ANTICIPATING THAT THE CONTRACTOR IS GOING TO GET THROUGH IN ANYWHERE FROM 5 TO 7 DAYS. BUT ONCE AGAIN, WE NEED THE WEATHER TO COOPERATE WITH US. IT'S DIFFICULT. WE BASICALLY HAVE TO STOP A LOT OF TIMES WHILE WE HAVE THE CONTRACTORS WORKING AND FOCUSING ON THE ON THESE HOT SPOTS, THE REST OF THE SANITATION TEAM IS GOING TO BE FOCUSING ON THE REST OF THE CITY. WE FEEL VERY CONFIDENT THAT WITH THE ASSISTANCE WITH THE CONTRACTORS, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE FIRST PASS BY FRIDAY OR SATURDAY OF THIS WEEK, AND THEN WE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT STEP. WHAT'S WHAT'S COMING FOR THE NEXT 2 TO 3 WEEKS? ALL THAT SECONDARY DEBRIS THAT I JUST TALKED ABOUT, EVERYTHING THAT'S IN PEOPLE'S BACKYARDS, THE PEOPLE THAT ARE STILL WAITING ON THE INSURANCE COMPANIES TO PROCESS THEIR CLAIMS, EVERYTHING THAT'S STILL HANGING FROM THE TREES. SO WE ANTICIPATE THAT THIS DEBRIS IS GOING TO CONTINUE COMING OUT FOR THE NEXT 2 TO 3 MONTHS. POSSIBLY. BUT THE BULK OF THE MATERIAL, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET IT THIS WEEK AS IT PERTAINS TO THE REGULAR SERVICES RESIDENTIAL TRASH, RECYCLING AND THE SMALL BRUSH PILE COLLECTION. THOSE ARE ALL ON SCHEDULE, WE KNOW THAT MANY OF THE ALLEYS WERE BLOCKED AND WE DIDN'T HAVE ACCESS TO THOSE. SO THIS SATURDAY, WE BROUGHT IN 15 EMPLOYEES TO SPECIFICALLY TO TAKE CARE OF THOSE. AND WE WERE ABLE TO SERVICE ALMOST 180 SERVICE ORDERS FOR MISSED COLLECTIONS. THAT'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE THE PLAN GOING FORWARD UNTIL WE MAKE SURE THAT UNTIL WE'RE BACK TO NORMAL AND WE'RE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF EVERYONE, SO YOU'RE PROBABLY THINKING WHEN, WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GO BACK TO NORMAL? SO, WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THE CONTRACTORS, WE'RE ANTICIPATING THAT IN ABOUT THREE WEEKS WE SHOULD BE BACK ON SCHEDULE, THAT'S VERY AGGRESSIVE. BUT ONCE AGAIN, WE DON'T WE DON'T SETTLE FOR SECOND BEST. WE KNOW THAT THIS IS A NECESSITY FOR RESIDENTS, AND WE'RE DOING OUR BEST. AND HOPEFULLY IN THREE WEEKS, WE WILL BE BACK ON THE NORMAL SCHEDULE. SO THESE ARE THE THREE AREAS THAT I TALKED ABOUT. AREAS ONE, TWO, ONE AND TWO ARE GOING TO BE, SERVICED BY THE CONTRACTOR AT THE SAME TIME, HOPEFULLY STARTING ON WEDNESDAY. AND AS SOON AS THEY FINISH THAT ONE, THEN THEY'RE GOING TO GO AND DO, AREA THREE, AREA ONE, THE, THE MAIN STREETS ARE

[01:30:04]

[01:35:01]

IF INDIVIDUAL ASSISTANCEETS APPROVED, I THINK YOU WILL ALSO SEE, SBA LOANS COME IN, WE WILL NEED YOUR HELP WITH PROVIDING INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC. IT'S VERY CONFUSING. AN SBA LOAN, A SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION LOAN. MOST PEOPLE JUST BLOW THAT OFF AND SAY, OH, THAT'S FOR BUSINESSES. IT IS NOT, INDIVIDUALS CAN HAVE IT AND WE'LL HAVE FLIERS CREATED FOR THAT. BUT IF THAT GETS APPROVED, WHAT THAT IS, IS LOW, LOW INTEREST, LONG TERM LOANS TO HELP WITH, RECOVERY EFFORTS FOR THE CITIZENS THAT HAVE IMPACTS. THE REASON IT'S SO CRITICAL THAT WE GET THAT IS THAT EVEN WITH INDIVIDUAL ASSISTANCE AND I'M SORRY, BUT WITHOUT SLEEP, I AM NOT GOOD WITH REGURGITATING NUMBERS. BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT, THE AVERAGE CHECK IS LESS THAN 5000. IF YOU'VE LOST A LOT OF YOUR, CONTENTS OF YOUR HOME OR YOUR HOME IS HAS MAJOR DAMAGE, THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE VERY HELPFUL FOR YOU. THE MAXIMUM YOU CAN GET IS RIGHT AT 43,000. AND I'LL HAVE TO VERIFY THAT NUMBER, AND WE WILL IF IT GETS APPROVED, AND WE'LL GIVE YOU THE REAL NUMBER. BUT, THAT'S IT'S UP SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THE 19 TORNADO. IT WAS IN THE 30S AT THAT TIME. SO BUT 43,000 IS NOT GOING TO REBUILD YOUR HOUSE. SO WE REMIND PEOPLE ALL THE TIME, HEY, DON'T USE THIS AS INSURANCE. IT'S NOT IT REALLY IS TO SUPPLEMENT WHAT IS UNDER INSURED OR NOT INSURED AT ALL. AND, THAT IS A WE NEED TO LIMIT EXPECTATIONS EVEN IF INDIVIDUAL ASSISTANCE GETS APPROVED, IT IS MINIMAL. SO THE VERY NEXT STEP IS SBA LOANS, WE DON'T DO REVERSE BECAUSE INDIVIDUAL ASSISTANCE WILL GET TURNED DOWN IF YOU GET SBA APPROVED FIRST.

SO THERE'S AN ORDER WE HAVE TO WORK THROUGH IN THE STATE HELPS US DO THAT, ON THE PUBLIC ASSISTANCE SIDE, I DID NOT LOOK AT THE NUMBER BEFORE WE CAME, BUT THE LAST TIME I LOOKED, WE WEREN'T EVEN TO HALFWAY, WE'RE LOW, AND WE HAVE MOST OF WHAT'S IN THERE. SO RIGHT NOW, LOOKING AT THE COUNTY AND I DON'T KNOW, MARIAH, IF YOU CAN SEE THE PORTAL FROM HERE, BUT IF YOU CAN PULL IT UP, IF YOU'RE ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT THE COUNTY NUMBER IS FOR PEACH STATE, RIGHT NOW, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL, BUT WHEN WE LOOK THIS MORNING, IT WAS IT WAS TO ME, A CLEAR INDICATION THAT WE WERE NOWHERE CLOSE TO GETTING PUBLIC ASSISTANCE, THE STATE MAY GET PUBLIC ASSISTANCE FOR THE COMBINED DISASTERS, AND MEET THE STATE THRESHOLD. BUT UNLESS DALLAS COUNTY MEETS THE 12 PLUS MILLION THRESHOLD, WE WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR THAT. SO IT'S A PRETTY CUT AND DRY

[01:40:01]

AND THEN THEN I'M ASKED A NON-EMOTIONAL DARYL A QUESTION. BUT IN LINE WITH THAT, IF THE RIGHT SIDE DOESN'T COME INTO PLAY OF THAT SLIDE FROM A BUDGETARY STANDPOINT, WHAT'S OUR ONGOING PROCESS OF LOOKING AT THE IMPACT OF THESE STORMS GIVEN CONTINGENT ON WHAT MITZI HAS EXPLAINED? CAN YOU BRIEFLY TALK ABOUT THAT? YEAH, WE WOULD. AS FAR AS FUNDING SOURCES, WE WOULD START OUT WITH ANY BUDGETED FUNDS THAT WOULD GO TOWARD, IMPROVING OR REBUILDING FACILITIES. YOU KNOW, REPLACING ROOF, THERE'S ALREADY A LOT OF KIND OF FACILITY RESTORATION THAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK. YOU GUYS WILL RECALL THAT, YOU KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, THE SOUTH GARLAND LIBRARY HADN'T HVAC UNIT BLOW OVER ON THE ROOF, AND SOMEONE TOOK THAT OFF IN THE BACK OF THE PICKUP TRUCK RIGHT AWAY. SO WE'VE ALREADY SORT OF TAKEN CARE OF THE THINGS TO GET OUR FACILITIES UP AND RUNNING, YOU KNOW, WHETHER THAT'S WITH EXISTING BUDGETED FUNDS OR, YOU KNOW, AT SOME POINT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DIP INTO FUND BALANCE, WHICH I MEAN, FOR THERE'S A REASON WE KEEP A, YOU KNOW, A 30 DAY, 45 DAY FUND BALANCE IN THE GENERAL FUND, AND IT'S FOR STUFF LIKE THIS SO THAT WE HAVE THE RESOURCES WE NEED TO RECOVER, AFTER THAT, WE'D PROBABLY GO INTO ANY, ONE TIME SURPLUS GENERAL FUND DOLLARS THAT WE HAVE, SO AGAIN, STARTING WITH BUDGETED FUNDS AND THEN DIP INTO ANY FUND BALANCE THAT WE HAVE THERE. AND, THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE'LL LOOK TO DO. I THINK, ON THE ON THE DIRECT BUDGET IMPACT, IT, IN SPENDING DOLLARS THAT WE DIDN'T ANTICIPATE, IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE A LOT OF DEBRIS CLEANUP. THESE CONTRACTORS THAT WE'RE BRINGING IN, URIEL MENTIONED HIS. WE'VE ALSO GOT A COUPLE CONTRACTORS COMING I IN FOR PARKS AND OUT AT THE GOLF COURSE, YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE THAT'S GOING TO BE ONE TIME DOLLARS THAT WE ALLOCATE, OUT OF FUND BALANCE. AND YOU KNOW, THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE SPENDING QUITE A BIT OF MONEY JUST ON THE CLEANUP PART OF THAT. SO YOU KNOW, TO MISTY'S POINT, ALWAYS LOVE ANY PUBLIC ASSISTANCE WE CAN GET FOUR YEARS DOWN THE ROAD , BUT, IF NOT, WE'RE OUR COMMITMENT TO CLEAN UP DOESN'T GO AWAY AND ISN'T DEPENDENT ON MONEY FROM THE OUTSIDE. OKAY, JUST TO REITERATE WHAT JUDD SAID, I'M IN THE FIRST APPEAL FOR YURI, WHICH WAS IN 21. SO WE CANNOT USE THAT FOR RIGHT NOW. THAT'S WE DO WE FIGHT FOR WHAT WE CAN FIGHT FOR AND TO, YOU KNOW, RESTORE WHATEVER BUDGET MONEY WE CAN. BUT THE REALITY IS, IT'S IRRITATING. IT'S IT IS, THANK THANK YOU SO MUCH. MITZI. I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR YOU. MARIAH WAS ABLE TO LOOK UP THAT NUMBER. GO AHEAD. WE LITERALLY HAVE 98% OF THE OF THE ENTRY IN, SO WE'RE NOT EVEN AT 2 MILLION FOR THE COUNTY YET SO OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK YOU AND YOUR TEAM ARE DOING. MITZI, MR. MR. KLEIN, CAN YOU COME BACK UP JUST A SECOND? I'LL GET MY KLEENEX. YES, I GOT A BOX HERE. BUT IT MIGHT BE BEST, MAYOR, IF YOU'RE OKAY WITH IT. MISTY AND URIEL, IF YOU DON'T MIND JOINING DARRYL UP HERE. OKAY. YEAH. LET ME MAKE THIS QUICK. YOU JUST PUSH HIM OVER. SO YOU CAN JUST PUSH HIM OVER. THAT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY. WE ALL FEEL THAT WAY. OKAY MR. KLEIN, EXCELLENT PRESENTATION. YOU ALMOST PULLED THE FATHER PIECE OUT. BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, I MET HIM BEFORE A LITTLE BIT, BUT, I'VE. I ONLY HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR. FOR YOU, DARRYL. GOING FORWARD FROM NOW WITH WITH WITH YOUR PRESENTATION, WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. WHAT KIND OF DO YOU HAVE AN ASK OF US, OF WHAT WE ARE AS WE MOVE CLOSER TO COMPLETION? THIS PROCESS. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION, THE Q AND A, A SHEET THAT'S BEEN VERY HELPFUL TO FOLKS, YOU KNOW, AND I KNOW IN, IN MY DISTRICT AND IN EVERY DISTRICT, I THINK I REALLY APPRECIATE THE COMMUNICATIONS THERE. BUT MOVING FORWARD, IS THERE ANYTHING FROM YOUR, YOUR AND YOUR TEAM AND ASK FOR, FOR, FOR, FOR US, THIS BODY TO FURTHER, YOU KNOW, SUPPORT YOU AND YOUR TEAM IN YOUR EFFORTS? IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN THINK OF? AND WE, WE PLAN ON, WE WILL SEND OUT, YOU KNOW, INFORMATION AGAIN THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA AND SO FORTH TO

[01:45:01]

NORMAL OPERARATIONS. I'M NOT SUE WHAT NORMAL IS ANYMORE, AND, WHAT IS IN YOUR PRESENTATION? YOU SAID WHAT WILL USE THE TERM FIRST PASS. WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? WHAT WHAT ARE WE SAYING? THERE AND ALREADY MENTIONED RETURN TO NORMAL. BUT YOU ALSO MENTIONED FIRST PASS. WHAT IS THAT? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? DOES I KNOW WHAT I THINK IT MEANS? BUT I WANT TO BE SURE THAT FROM YOU WHAT IT MEANS SO I CAN TELL MY CONSTITUENTS, WHICH I CAN QUOTE YOU ON, THAT. WHAT IS FIRST PASS? I'LL START WITH THE HOTSPOTS. PLEASE DO, I IDENTIFY THOSE. I SPENT BASICALLY THE LAST SIX DAYS OR SO, DRIVING UP AND DOWN THE CITY, GOING IN ALLEYS, EVERYTHING THAT I WAS ABLE TO ACCESS AND BASED ON WHAT I SAW THROUGHOUT THE CITY, THOSE WERE THE AREAS THAT WERE IMPACTED THE MOST. SO THAT'S HOW WE CAME UP WITH THOSE, WHEN I GATHER MY DATA, I SENT IT TO MY FIELD SERVICES MANAGER TO HAVE A SECOND OPINION, AND HE AGREED WITH ME. OKAY, MOVING ON TO RETURNING TO NORMAL, BASICALLY GOING BACK TO US, PICKING UP YOUR BRUSH ON A WEEKLY BASIS WITHOUT ANY DISRUPTIONS RIGHT NOW, REGULAR TRASH, RECYCLING AND SMALL HAND PILES ARE BEING PICKED UP, ONCE A WEEK AS PART OF THE REGULAR SCHEDULE. BUT NORMAL SCHEDULE FOR BIG PILE FOR BRUSH, THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I MEANT, TO THE ONES WE'RE AT THE POINT THAT WE'RE PICKING IT UP ONCE A WEEK WITHOUT ANY, WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. OKAY. WHAT IS WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? NORMAL. LET'S SAY LET'S SAY YOU'RE ON A FRIDAY , FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NORMAL PICKUPS SCHEDULE, BUT GIVEN THE STORM, GIVEN THE STORM, YOU GOT ALL THIS BRUSH, FRONT YARD AND BACKYARD, BUT YOU'VE GOT ALL THIS BRUSH. SO CAN YOU TELL WHAT THE WHAT CAN BE THE EXPECTATION THROUGH YOU, OR ARE YOU GOING TO WAIT UNTIL NORMAL, LET'S SAY IN AN AREA IN MY DISTRICT, FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS ARE THE DATE. WILL IT BE HELD UNTIL FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, OR WILL SOMETHING BE DONE IN IN THE INTERIM TO CLEAR OUT THE STORM DAMAGE TO STORM BRUSH? BECAUSE THAT'S THE QUESTION THAT I'M GETTING WHEN SOMEBODY'S GOING TO GO AND SHOW UP TO START REMOVING THE STORM STUFF. SO CAN YOU CLARIFY THAT FOR ME OR OR THEY'RE ASKING, ARE WE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL NEXT SATURDAY TO SEE THAT DONE? SO CAN YOU ANSWER THAT FOR ME? MOST LIKELY NOT, SIR, ESPECIALLY WITH THE ASSISTANCE WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THE CONTRACTORS. THEY'RE GOING TO FOCUS ON THE ON THE HOTSPOTS. AND MY TEAM IS GOING TO FOCUS ON THE REST OF THE CITY. WE HAVE VERY ROBUST BRUSH AND BULKY DIVISION, ONE OF THE BIGGEST ONES IN THE METROPLEX. AND I ANTICIPATE BY FRIDAY WE SHOULD BE DONE WITH THE FIRST PASS FOR THE ENTIRE CITY, MEANING THAT WE DROVE THROUGH EVERY STREET IN THE CITY AND PICKED UP EVERYTHING THAT WAS IN THE FRONT. THAT IS THE FIRST PASS. OKAY, WELL, IS IT? WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO. AND I KNOW, I KNOW THIS YOU CAN'T BE SPECIFIC BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO RUN INTO. BUT I'M WONDERING, IS IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO, BE PUT OUT FOR SHARE WITH US AT LEAST A TENTATIVE SCHEDULE SCHEDULE BASED ON YOUR PLAN AS TO YOU KNOW, YOU SAID BY BY THIS WEEKEND, YOU YOU'RE GOING TO TRY TO TOUCH ALL, ALL OF THE CITY.

SO CAN YOU SHARE MAYBE SOME YOUR PROJECTIONS WITH US SO THAT WE IN BETTER POSITION TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS? WHEN PEOPLE SAY, AT LEAST I MEAN, I KNOW I DO MY BEST, SIR. THERE'S A DOWNSIDE TO THAT AND THERE'S THAT. IF IT'S SOMETHING WHEN WE CAN TALK OFFLINE, IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH. BUT THOSE QUESTIONS, THOSE ARE QUESTIONS THAT THAT ARE OUT THERE. THOSE ARE QUESTIONS THAT WE'RE GETTING WHEN IT'S SOMEBODY'S GOING TO

[01:50:04]

THANK YOU. MAYOR, IF I IF I CAN JUST ADD REAL QUICK TO URIEL, JUST TO CLARIFY, YOU'RE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT JUST BRUSHING BULKY. A SCHEDULE CHANGES AS FAR AS NORMAL RESIDENTIAL RECYCLING AND TRASH COLLECTION GOES. PUT YOUR TRASH OUT ON THE SAME DAY. GOOD POINT SIR. YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. OKAY MY QUESTION PERTAINED TO BRUSH AND BULKY, NOT. YES, SIR. AND THAT'S WHAT I ADDRESSED. OKAY. THANKS, SIR. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP, DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM MOORE.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. EURO MITZI. DARRYL NO QUESTIONS. NOT AT ALL. BUT I DO JUST WANT TO EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION OFTEN. AS I'VE SIT HERE AND LISTENED TO THE THREE OF YOU EXPLAINED AND WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO US DURING THESE PAST FEW DAYS, THERE ARE. YOU ALMOST HAD ME CRYING. I'M ALMOST WENT TO TEARS WITH YOU. I THOUGHT DADDY WAS GOING TO COME OUT OF ME FOR A MOMENT. THERE, I SAY THAT BECAUSE I FELT YOUR PASSION, AND I THINK THAT THAT'S THE IMPORTANT THING FOR ME AT THIS POINT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE I THINK WE LEARNED DURING OUR LAST BIG STORM WAS WE DID NOT DO A VERY GOOD JOB OF COMMUNICATING. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I CAN SAY AT THIS TIME, YOU HAVE PUT SO MUCH COMMUNICATIONS OUT THERE THAT ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO KNOW, WHO NEEDS TO KNOW WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING BY WAY OF TAKING CARE OF OUR CITY AND TAKING CARE OF OUR PROPERTIES, IT'S BEEN THERE. AND I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE SOME DYNAMICS. THERE ARE SOME DYNAMICS THAT I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DO OR WHAT YOU SAY. WHEN WE HAVE SITUATIONS LIKE THIS, THERE ARE GOING TO BE SOME PEOPLE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO LOVE EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING. AND THERE THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE GOOD ENOUGH. BUT I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT WE CAN DO AS A LEADERSHIP AND AS A CITY IS MAKE SURE THAT OUR PEOPLE ARE COMMUNICATED WITH. I WANT TO COMMEND OUR MAYOR. I WANT TO COMMEND OUR CITY MANAGER AND THE MANNNNER BY WHICH YOU WENT ONLI. AND YOU PUT THAT VIDEO OUT THERE AND YOU PERSONALIZED. YOU MADE SURE THAT OUR PEOPLE WERE AWARE THAT THIS WASN'T JUST A JOB, BUT THIS WAS A PERSONAL COMMITMENT.

IT WAS A PASSION. IT WAS SOMETHING THAT. THIS HAS BEEN A DEVASTATING TIME FOR THIS ENTIRE CITY, FOR OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY. AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW IT OR NOT, BUT I CAN SAY THIS. I'VE BEEN TO EVERY DISTRICT AND TALKED TO PRETTY MUCH EVERY ONE OF THE COUNCIL PEOPLE HERE, AND I KNOW THAT WHEN THOSE COMMENTS COME IN WHERE THEY'RE DEROGATORY , WHEN THEY COME IN AND PEOPLE DON'T APPRECIATE AND UNDERSTAND, I CAN TELL, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK, WE'RE SPEAKING FOR YOU. WE KNOW WE GOT THE BEST MANAGERS, THE BEST SUPERVISORS, THE BEST STAFF. THIS SIDE OF THE RIO GRANDE. WE KNOW THAT. AND SO I JUST WANT TO SAY TO YOU THIS EVENING, CONTINUE TO DO WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING, DO THE BEST YOU CAN. THAT'S ALL YOU CAN JUST DO THE VERY BEST THAT YOU CAN.

DO IT WITH PASSION. NO, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE SECOND TO NONE. WE'RE GOING TO BE FIRST EACH TIME. AND SO YES, THERE ARE A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT I CAN ASK HERE TONIGHT, BUT THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE NOT ANSWERED OR WILL NOT ANSWER FOR ME. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE WOWORK THAT YOU'VE DONE. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. THANK YOU SIR. NEXT UP, COUNCILMAN LUCK. OKAY SO FROM THE OFFICE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, MR. GARDNER AND AARON BUTTITTA, AND I'M GOING TO

[01:55:08]

[02:00:04]

THANK YOU. OKAY I'M GOING TO SAY THIS NOW. I'VE GOT ONE MORE PERSON IN THE QUEUE IF YOU WANT, IN THE QUEUE. GET IN NOW. SO BECAUSE AFTER THAT PERSON, I'M GOING TO WRAP THIS UP. IF YOU PUNCH IN AFTER THIS PERSON, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HOLD TILL THE NEXT TIME AROUND. SO, COUNCIL MEMBER HEDRICK, THANK YOU. MAYOR, I TOO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION TO OUR CITIZENS. AND, YOU KNOW, THE SLINGS AND ARROWS THAT I TAKE. I'M PROUD TO BE THAT BUFFER FOR YOU GUYS. LIKE IT'S COMPARED TO WHAT I DO. JUST BEING. I CAN'T CLIMB A POLE. I CAN'T STRING A WIRE. I MIGHT, YOU KNOW, THIS WEEKEND BEEN OUT CUTTING LIMBS, BUT I'M NOT HAULING THEM OFF AND DOING THAT. BUT I APPRECIATE ALL THAT YOU GUYS DO. AND I'VE ALREADY HAD CITIZENS GROUPS REACH OUT TO ME AND WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR YOU GUYS, FOR YOUR CREWS, THEY DON'T WANT TO LET THOSE SAN ANTONIO CREWS GO AWAY WITHOUT THANKING THEM, GIVING THEM A MEAL, DOING SOMETHING FOR THEM. SO LET CITY MANAGER LET SOMEONE KNOW WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU GUYS TO SHOW SOME APPRECIATION, BECAUSE WE WANT TO HELP THEM AND GET THEM A TEAM. GARLAND SHIRT TO LET THEM AT LEAST GO HOME WITH ONE OF THOSE. SO YEAH. AND THANK YOU ALSO FOR YOUR COMMUNICATION. IT'S BEEN GREAT TO HAVE THOSE MULTIPLE UPDATES THROUGHOUT THE DAY, EVEN IF IT'S NOT AN UPDATE SAYING WE'RE STILL MAKING PROGRESS, STILL WORKING. IT'S NEEDED. OUR CITIZENS WANT THAT. THEY WANT TO HEAR, YOU KNOW, LIKE THEY'RE NOT BEING IGNORED. LIKE WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE PROGRESS. IT'S SLOW. BUT YES, WE'RE STILL COMMUNICATING. SO I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU. MAYOR VERY GOOD. ALL RIGHT.

WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO WRAP THIS UP, NORMALLY THIS IS SOMETHING WE DO MULTIPLE WEEKS AFTER AN EVENT, NOT WHEN WE'RE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT, AND WE'RE ALL TIRED AND WE'RE ALL, FRANKLY, WORN OUT OF JUST. WE'D LOVE TO TALK ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE, BUT THIS. BUT AS AS HAS BEEN SAID, THIS EVENT, YOU KNOW, IT WAS DIFFERENT. I MEAN, THEY ALL ARE, BUT THIS ONE WAS DIFFERENT FOR US. AND SO WE FELT THAT WE SHOULD GET SOME OF THIS STUFF OUT THERE NOW, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER RECAP OF THIS. YOU KNOW, ONCE WE GET A LITTLE BIT FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD AND, AND WHATEVER, BUT I THINK IT'S OBVIOUS, YOU KNOW, THROUGH THE PRESENTATIONS, I HOPE THE PUBLIC . ANY OF YOU, ALL OF YOU, PLEASE SHARE THIS MEETING ON YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS AND IF ANYBODY HAS A QUESTION AFTER THEY WATCH IT AND THEY HAVE TO WATCH THE FULL THING RIGHT UP TO THE POINT WHERE I'M TALKING NOW, I WANT THEM TO SEE THE ENTIRETY OF THIS PRESENTATION OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH, WHAT WE'VE DEALT WITH IN THE PAST, AND I THINK THAT WILL TAKE, THAT, THAT SHOULD TAKE SOME, SOME OF THE, SOME OF THE, WE'LL JUST. THERE YOU GO. THAT'S THAT'S NOT THE WORD I WAS LOOKING FOR OR I WAS GOING TO SAY ORIGINALLY, BUT, I HOPE IT GIVES EVERYBODY A PERSPECTIVE OF WHAT WE ARE UP AGAINST, AND I CERTAINLY HOPE THAT IT GIVES THEM A GLIMPSE OF WHO'S WORKING ON IT. AND TO THAT POINT, YOU KNOW, I WAS HERE IN 15. I WAS HERE IN 19, IN THE WINTER STORM, THIS ICE, AND, AND I HAVE SEEN OUR PROCESS IS GROW AND EVOLVE THROUGH THAT TIME FROM, YOU KNOW, WHEN THE FROM 15, TO NOW THE YOU TALK ABOUT THE LESSONS LEARNED AND THE POLICY DECISIONS THAT WE HAVE MADE IN THAT TIME, ARE HUGE, AND WE HAVE WE HAVE

[02:05:06]

WE'VE STILL GOT A COUPLE OF AGENDA ITEMS TO DEAL WITH, LET'S HAVE EVERYBODY BACK HERE FIVE. ALL RIGHT. WE ARE COMING BACK FROM RECESS. AND THIS IS THE JUNE THIRD, 2024 WORK

[5. Garland Senior Activity Center Project Update ]

[02:10:02]

SO WHEN YOU SEE THE RENDERINGS THAT WE HAVE, YOU'LL SEE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO MODEL THAT AND SO THAT IT DOESN'T LOOK OUT OF PLACE WITH THE EXISTING, DOWNTOWN, SQUARE. TO REFRESH. SO THIS IS THE FLOOR PLAN, IN A, I GUESS THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE AT COUNCIL, WE WENT THROUGH THE FLOOR PLAN. THERE'S BEEN ONE MODIFICATION AS FAR AS THERE WAS AN AMENITY THAT WE DID REMOVE, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE, WE HAVE KEPT FROM THE PUBLIC INPUT, ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WERE HIGH PRIORITIES FOR ALL OF THE SENIORS AND THE DIFFERENT USER GROUPS THAT WE MET WITH, MADE IT INTO THE FLOOR PLAN. THE AREA THAT WE DID CHANGE IS HERE, RIGHT HERE THERE WAS A SMALL WELLNESS ROOM MEANT TO BE FOR BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS OR FOR SOMEBODY MAYBE TO COME IN AND DO TAX PREPARATION AND TRYING TO THINK OF THE FUTURE. WE DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE MORE STORAGE, BECAUSE WHEN YOU WORK IN A RECREATION CENTER AND HAVE FACILITIES, YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH STORAGE. AND SO WE CAN ACCOMMODATE ANY PROGRAMS THAT WOULD HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN THAT SMALL CLASSROOM IN ONE OF OUR MANY OTHER, PROGRAMING SPACES THAT WE HAVE, BECAUSE WE HAVE MUCH MORE PROGRAMING SPACE THAN WHAT WE DID BEFORE. BUT THIS HAS AN INDOOR WALKING TRACK, THE GROUP FITNESS, THE FITNESS ROOM, A HUGE NUMBER 13 HERE IS THE HUGE EVENT HALL. SO THIS IS THE SPACE THAT'S YOU'D BE ABLE TO SEE OFF OF SIXTH STREET. AS YOU'RE WALKING FROM DOWNTOWN, THAT CAN ACCOMMODATE CLOSE TO 200 PEOPLE. WE STILL HAVE A SEPARATE DINING AND GATHERING ROOM, ARTS AND CRAFT ROOM, AND IMMERSIVE CLASSROOM, SO IT'S MAGNIFICENT.

WE HAVE GOT A LIBRARY SPACE, GAME ROOM, SO LOTS AND LOTS OF SPACE FOR THE SENIORS TO USE AND FOR OUR STAFF TO PROGRAM, ON THIS SITE A COUPLE OF THINGS JUST TO NOTE IS, SO IF YOU MAY RECALL, THE ENTRY NOW WILL BE OFF OF AVENUE B, SO THAT MAIN ENTRY YOU'RE COMING OFF OF AVENUE B AND THIS WILL BE THE DROP OFF ZONE. SO WE STILL WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE OUR BUSSES COME THROUGH WITH THE SENIORS THAT GET TRANSPORTED TO THE CENTER AND BE DROPPED OFF, WE HAVE A OVER HERE, THIS, LETTER C, I WAS ABOUT TO SAY NUMBER C, EVERYBODY'S TIRED. LETTER C, THIS IS WHERE THE BUSSES AND OUR VANS WILL BE PARKED. SO THEY'RE SEPARATED OUT, FROM THE PUBLIC PARKING THAT WE HAVE. WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF ADD ALTERNATES THAT WE'RE SHOWING ON THIS SITE PLAN.

THAT WOULD BE G AND THE TWO H'S. G IS A COUPLE OF PICKLEBALL COURTS. AND WE'LL GET TO THAT HERE IN A LITTLE BIT, H THOSE ARE SOME COVED, SHADED AREAS THAT ARE AGAIN CURRENTLY ALTERNATES FOR THE PROJECT. SO NOW ALL THE PRETTY PICTURES, THESE ARE THE EXTERIOR RENDERINGS THAT WE HAVE. SO THIS IS A VIEW. THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE SEEING WOULD BE THERE'S NONE OF THE AD ALTERNATES SHOWN ON HERE. THIS IS WHAT WE WOULD SAY IS IN THE BASE, BID OF THE PROJECT. SO THIS IS A VIEW FROM THE SOUTHEAST CORNER AS YOU WOULD BE TURNING INTO THE SITE FROM AVENUE B, AND YOU'VE GOT A COVERED DROP OFF, A COUPLE OF JUST IMAGES OF THAT DROP OFF WHERE. OOPS. LET ME GO BACK TO THAT. THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE DESIGN THAT TO ACCOMMODATE A COUPLE OF BUSSES CAN FIT UNDER THERE, BECAUSE WE HAVE BUSSES AGAIN THAT TRANSPORT THE SENIORS. PEOPLE COME AND DROP OFF SENIORS AND THEN GO PARK, SO THIS ALLOWS THEM TO GET OUT OF THE BUS, THE DRIVERS ALSO TO GET OFF THE BUS, AND NOT GET WET. I KNOW IT LOOKS LIKE IN THAT PICTURE THAT THOSE ARE ACTUAL OPENINGS, BUT THEY'RE NOT. THAT'S SOME SORT OF A GLASS OR A PLEXIGLASS OR SOMETHING THAT WOULD ALLOW LIGHT TO COME THROUGH JUST SO IT WOULDN'T BE

[02:15:05]

YOU'RE LOOKING INTO THE COURTYARD SPACE, WHICH WE DO HAVE GATED OFF SO THAT IT'S, FOR THE USERS OF THE FACILITY, THAT'S A REALLY NICE SPACE. THAT ROOM RIGHT THERE IS THE BIG EVENT HALL. SO IT'S GOT THE HIGH ELEVATED CEILINGS. LOOKS REALLY NICE. AGAIN, KEEPING IN WITH THE EXTERIOR MATERIALS THAT COMPLEMENT WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE DOWNTOWN SQUARE. THIS IS A VIEW FROM INSIDE THE COURTYARD. SO AGAIN THIS SPACE COULD BE UTILIZED FOR BIG EVENTS. IT COULD BE OVERFLOW FROM THAT EVENT ROOM. IT COULD JUST BE A SPACE WHERE PEOPLE WANT TO GO AND SIT AND TALK AND OR, YOU KNOW, HAVE THEIR COFFEE, JUST HANG OUT. THIS IS A VIEW FROM THE NORTHEAST SIDE. SO IF YOU WERE COMING DOWN AVENUE A AND APPROACHING THE COURTYARD AGAIN, IT'S JUST YOU SEE THOSE WINDOWS THERE. THE CORNER WINDOWS, A LOT OF LIGHT. THAT WAS ONE OF THE BIG THINGS THAT THE PUBLIC INPUT TALKED ABOUT IS NEEDING MORE LIGHT. THE OLD CENTER CENTER WAS PRETTY DARK, KIND OF A GLOOMY FEEL. AND SO WE WANTED TO MAKE IT REALLY BRIGHT AND VIBRANT.

AND THE NEXT FEW SLIDES ARE THROUGH THE ADD ALTERNATES. SO THESE ITEMS ARE CURRENTLY NOT IN THE BASE BUDGET, BUT WE'RE STILL CARRYING THEM RIGHT NOW THROUGH JUSTST TO SEE WHERE THEY COME O, IN OUR NEXT COST ESTIMATION AND HOW THE BUDGET IS LOOKING. BUT IT IS A PICKLEBALL COURT AND SURFACING. THERE ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENT ALTERNATES. THEY SEPARATED OUT EACH OF THE SHADED AREAS IN THE PATIO. OUTDOOR SEATING, THOSE ARE EACH DIFFERENT ALTERNATES. AND THEN I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES WITH ALTERNATE SIX AND SEVEN. THOSE ARE ADDING CAST STONE TO THE COURTYARD, FACADE. AND THAT FRONT ENTRY AND I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU SOME OF THOSE.

SO THIS IS, WHAT A SHADE STRUCTURE WOULD LOOK LIKE, OUT SIDE OF THE FRONT ENTRY. SO THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE. THIS IS A PARTY ROOM. SO PEOPLE COULD GO OUT AND HAVE THIS SHADED SEAT SEATED AREA AND JUST ANOTHER VIEW OF THAT, THIS IS THE CAST STONE. SO YOU'LL SEE THAT, THAT, THE NEXT COUPLE OF SLIDES REALLY SHOW WHAT THE CAST STONE DOES FOR THE APPEARANCE OF THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING. AND THIS IS THE DROP OFF, AND THEN IT MIRRORS IT ON THE BACK END, AT THE COURTYARD. AND I'LL SHOW YOU THAT AS WELL, AGAIN, JUST DIFFERENT VIEWS SHOWING YOU THE DIFFERENT WAYS THE BUILDING LOOKS WITH THE DIFFERENT MATERIALS. THIS IS THE CAST STONE ON THE BACK, OF THE COURTYARD. SO THIS IS THE VIEW THAT YOU WOULD SEE AS YOU WERE COMING DOWN SIXTH STREET FROM DOWNTOWN. AND JUST, AGAIN, CLOSER VIEWS OF Y'ALL SAW THESE.

THIS IS JUST ADDING THAT CAST STONE MATERIAL ONTO THE, BACK FACADE. AND THEN THIS WOULD BE IF YOU HAD THE CAST STONE AND THE PATIOS, WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE, AND SO IT JUST SHOWS YOU THE DIFFERENT DETAILS OF THOSE. SO AGAIN, THE FRONT ENTRY WITH THE CAST STONE. AND THEN ALSO OVER HERE YOU HAVE THE SHADED COVERED AREA. HERE'S JUST ANOTHER VIEW OF THE SHADE SHADED AREAS. AGAIN THE DIFFERENT ANGLES THAT PEOPLE WOULD SEE THAT. AND THEN PICKLEBALL PICKLEBALL. SO WE THAT WOULD BE HERE ON THE SITE WOULD BE TWO PICKLEBALL COURTS. IT'D BE FENCED IN AND, AND THE ONLY VIEW I HAVE OF THAT ON A RENDERING IS JUST TO KIND OF SHOW YOU HOW IT WOULD LOOK IN PROXIMITY WITH THE BUILDING, THIS SPACE RIGHT HERE WITH THIS WINDOW, THAT'S THE FITNESS ROOM, AND SO THERE WOULD BE A WAY TO GET OUT THROUGH THAT FITNESS WELLNESS AREA, INTO THOSE PICKLEBALL COURTS. BUT AGAIN, NONE OF THOSE ARE CURRENTLY IN THE BASE BUDGET.

WE'RE STILL CARRYING THEM THROUGH, AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT PROCESS WITH THE DESIGN PROCESS, INTERIOR RENDERINGS. I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THESE. I FEEL LIKE WE WORKED REALLY HARD TO TRY AND GIVE IT MORE OF AN ELEVATED FEEL FOR THE SENIS, AND SO, WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH THE COLOR PALETTE, BUT, SO WHAT YOU SEE MAY NOT, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH IT, WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE, MAY LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT. SOME OF THE FIXTURES MAY LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT. BUT THE FEEL, I THINK, IS WHAT WE'RE GOING FOR AND TRYING TO ACHIEVE.

AND SO THIS IS COMING THROUGH OSE FRONT DOORS, THE MAIN LOBBY AND THE WELCOME DESK. THIS IS A SPACE THAT'S RIGHT OUTSIDE OF THE EVENT HALL. SO PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, ANOTHER LOBBY OR MAYBE PEOPLE KIND OF WAIT AND GATHER BEFORE THEY GO INTO IF THAT'S A PRIVATE RENTAL, BEFORE THEY GO INTO THEIR, FUNCTION. THIS IS THE GAME ROOM THAT WOULD HAVE YOUR DOMINO TABLES. THE POOL

[02:20:03]

SO THOSE ARE ALL THE PRETTY IMAGES. THAT WAS A LOT. AND IT WAS REALLY FAST. BUT I'M HAPPY TO HELP ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND GO BACK TO ANY PICTURES. JUST A REMINDER BEFORE WE GET INTO THIS, THIS IS NOT A DESIGN MEETING. THIS IS AN UPDATE MEETING, OKAY? WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT HERE TO REDESIGN THIS FACILITY TONIGHT. SO LET'S NOT LET'S NOT GET VENTURED TOO FAR DOWN THAT ROAD, PLEASE. COUNSELOR LUCK, MAYBE CONSIDER GARLAND LOGO ON THE OUTSIDE.

JUST SAYING. CONSIDER THERE WAS ONE IN THE FRONT ENTRYWAY. OKAY, LET ME GET BACK THERE. NO, I MEAN, HE MISSED IT. STONE OH, IN THE STONE. HERE ANYWAYS, I'M NOT TRYING TO DESIGN IT. I WAS JUST SAYING THAT MIGHT BE COOL, THE BRICKS THAT WERE REMOVED FROM THE OLD SENIOR CENTER. IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT THOSE IN THE BRICKS IN HERE? WELL, THE BRICKS FROM THE VETERANS MEMORIAL GARDEN, I DON'T KNOW. SO THOSE WEREN'T IN THE GREATEST OF CONDITION. WE HAVE THOSE ALL ON PALLETS IN PART AT PARK OPERATIONS, AND WE'RE HOLDING ON TO THOSE BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD A FEW PHONE CALLS OF PEOPLE WANTING TO GO AHEAD AND GET THEIR BRICKS PICKED BACK UP. AND SO SINCE THOSE HAVE SOME SENTIMENTAL VALUE TO, AGAIN, WE JUST NEED TO AT SOME POINT WE'LL NEED TO DECIDE, DO WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND GIVE THOSE BACK? THEY COULD POTENTIALLY BE, PUT BACK IN IN REGARDS TO WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH SOME SORT OF AN ELEMENT THAT'S A NOD TO THE ARMED FORCES, BUT WE HAVEN'T REALLY FLESHED ALL OF THAT OUT. BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE JUST THEY'RE NOT IN GREAT CONDITION, AND I ALMOST FEEL LIKE IT WOULD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT IS AWESOME. AND THE INTERIOR ESPECIALLY IS REALLY COOL. I LOVE THE BLUE LIBRARY. THAT'S REALLY NEAT. DON'T GET HOOKED ON THE BLUE. IT COULD CHANGE THE FEEL, BUT THE FEEL? YES, I LOVE THE FEEL. I REALLY LIKE ALL OF THE MOLDING AND I CAN SEE THAT Y'ALL PAID REALLY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THAT. AND IT'S REALLY CHAIR RAIL AND ALL THAT. IT'S BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. OKAY. COUNCIL MEMBER HEDRICK. THANK YOU. MAYOR, I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL AS WELL. I'M JUST CURIOUS ABOUT TIMELINE ON BIDDING AND SO FORTH BECAUSE WE, YOU KNOW, ALL THOSE OUT OF TURNS ARE WONDERFUL. BUT JUST UNTIL THE COSTS COME IN, I WANT. YES. SO WE'VE DONE TWO COST ESTIMATES TO DATE, BOTH HAVE BEEN TRACKING ALONG WITH OUR, CONSTRUCTION BUDGET, WHICH IS GOOD NEWS. AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE. YOU KNOW, OUR GOAL IS TO DESIGN TO THE BUDGET, WE HAVE HAVE WE STILL HAVE TO WORK THROUGH ALL THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS AND DO ALL OF THAT. SO CONSTRUCTION WOULD THE PROJECT WOULD PROBABLY GO OUT TO BID TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR, CONSTRUCTION STARTING EARLY NEXT YEAR, AND THEN COMPLETION WOULD BE LATE 20 2026. OKAY. SO IT'S GETTING THERE. GOOD TO HEAR IT'S GETTING THERE. I WILL GIVE ONE ALTERNATE BID ALTERNATIVE. YOU

[02:25:01]

ALL RIGHT. NOW YOU MENTIONED JUST JUST JUST TO THROW IT OUT NECESSARILY A QUESTION I KNOW YOU'VE GOT B 88 PARKING ON THAT FRONT MAIN ENTRY. ARE THOSE IS THAT MAIN ENTRY ADA COMPATIBLE RIGHT HERE. THE MAIN ENTRY DOOR. OH YES. YES. SO WE ARE GOING DOWN. YES. THEY WOULD BE TWO SLIDING DOOR SO IT'S A IT'S A FIRST SET OF SLIDING DOORS. GO THROUGH THE VESTIBULE AND A SECOND SET OKAY. YEP. THANK YOU MA'AM. THANK YOU THANK YOU MAYOR. VERY GOOD. ALL RIGHT.

LAST CALL FOR ANYBODY. HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY VERY GOOD I DON'T KNOW I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON OVER THERE. I'M JUST. SO I THINK IT LOOKS GREAT. I HAVE TO AGREE ON THE CAST STONE. EVEN THOUGH I'M GOING AGAINST MY IDEA OF MY STATEMENT OF NOT REDESIGNING, I THINK THAT IS A NICE FEATURE. SO WHERE ARE WE? WHAT? WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP, WHERE ARE WE IN THE PROCESS? SO DESIGN DEVELOPMENT, IS DONE. AND NOW IT'S THE ARCHITECT WILL WORK THROUGH CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS.

WE'VE GOT A FEW THINGS THAT WE'RE STILL FINE TUNING ON SOME OF THE DETAILS, AND THEY'LL WORK QUICKLY AND AS FAST AS THEY CAN ON THOSE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS, SO THAT WE CAN GET THAT OUT TO BID BY THE END OF THE YEAR. ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. AND THAT WILL BRING US TO ITEM NINE,
