AFFAIRS COMMITTEE UPDATE. COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MAYOR, THIS EVENING, THE NEWLY NAMED INTERGOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE, RECEIVED OUR FIRST INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW, FROM OUR NEW, MANAGING DIRECTOR. OF LEGISLATIVE AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS, MR. ARYA TAUB. AND, OUR COMMITTEE WANTED TO HER TO SHAR, THE BRIEFING THAT SHE PROVIDED TO OUR COMMITTEE WITH FULL COUNCIL. SO WITHOUT ANY FURTHER DELAY, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MISS ARIEL. THANK YOU. VERY GOOD. HI. MY NAME IS ARIEL. I'M THE MANAGING DIRECTOR OF LEGISLATIVE AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS, WE MET WITH THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE IN, IN JUNE. AND THIS IS THE PRESENTATION THAT WE PROVIDED. WE HAVE SPENT THE LAST FOUR MONTHS, WE'VE BEEN REALLY BUSY. WE CREATED OUR MISSION AND GOALS AS YOU CAN SEE, BEFORE YOU, AND OUR THREE TOP GOALS WILL BE LEGISLATIVE TRACKING. SO WE'VE INSTITUTED A NEW LEGISLATIVE TRACKING SOFTWARE CALLED QUORUM, WHICH WE WILL UTILIZE ACROSS THE CITY TO TRACK EVERY BILL THAT'S FILED DURING THE 89TH LEGISLATIVE SESSION. ADDITIONALLY, OUR GOAL IS TO TRACK ALL INPUT WE PROVIDE ON BILLS. SO THAT WOULD INCLUDE MEETINGS WE HAVE WITH LEGISLATIVE OFFICIALS, COMMENTS WE SUBMIT ON BILLS, BE THAT VERBAL OR WRITTEN, AS WELL AS MEETINGS OR TESTIMONY WE PROVIDE. ADDITIONALLY, WE WILL BE TRACKING ALL STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS. SO MEETINGS WITH EXTERNAL GROUPS SUCH AS DART, THE COG, ETC, AS WELL AS HTML. 
          WE'VE ALSO SPENT A LARGE PORTION OF OUR TIME DEVELOPING THE STATE LEGISLATIVE AGENDA, WHICH IS STILL IN DRAFT FORM, BEING ROUTED INTERNALLY FOR ADDITIONAL INPUT. THE PURPOSE OF THE AGENDA IS TO KIND OF OUTLINE OUR POSITION ON VARIOUS TOPICS OF IMPORTANCE TO OUR COMMUNITY, BUT ALSO TOPICS THAT WE KNOW WILL BE COME UP DURING THE NEXT LEGISLATIVE SESSION. THE GOAL IS TO PROVIDE THIS TO ELECTED OFFICIALS AS WELL AS, OUR EXTERNAL PARTNERS, SUCH AS THE CHAMBER AND THE ISD. IT ALSO SERVES AS MY GUIDE THROUGHOUT THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION, AND KIND OF ADDS AN ADDITIONAL LAYER OF TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY. WE'VE I'VE MET WITH EACH OF OUR REPRESENTATIVES, SO THOSE INCLUDE REPRESENTATIVE ANGIE CHEN, BUTTON, RENA BOWERS, RHETTA ANDREWS BOWERS AND MARIA RAMOS, AND SENATOR BOB HALL. WE WILL HAVE A NEW REPRESENTATIVE, LINDA GARCIA, STARTING IN NOVEMBER AS WELL. FINALLY, I'VE CREATED A LIST OF ALL OF THE ITEMS THAT WE'VE WORKED ON FROM START TO FINISH THROUGHOUT THESE LAST FOUR MONTHS, INCLUDING THE LEGISLATIVE TRACKING SOFTWARE THAT I PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED. 
          I'VE CREATED A COMMUNICATION PLAN. SO THIS OUTLINES HOW I WILL COMMUNICATE INTERNALLY WITH STAFF LEADERSHIP AND YOU, CITY COUNCIL, THROUGHOUT SESSION SO I CAN INFORM YOYOU OF COMMITTEE MEETINGS, BILLS OF IMPORTANCE, AND ANY TESTIMONY THAT WOULD BE NEEDED DURING THAT TIME. 
          ADDITIONALLY, I'VE CREATED TEMPLATES FOR WRITTEN COMMENTS, TEMPLATES, FOR IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES AFTER BILLS HAVE BEEN PASSED, AS WELL AS BILL ANALYSIS TEMPLATES, I'VE CREATED ELECTED OFFICIAL ONE PAGERS. SO ANY INFORMATION YOU WOULD NEED, SHOULD YOU ANY OF YOU TESTIFY THROUGHOUT SESSION, YOU'LL HAVE INFORMATION ON EACH OF THE ELECTED OFFICIALS ON THAT COMMITTEE. AND I'VE HAD MEETINGS ONE ON ONE WITH EACH OF OUR MANAGING DIRECTORS TO GET INPUT ON WHAT THEIR LEGISLATIVE NEEDS ARE AND MAYBE SOME PAIN POINTS THEY'VE HAD DURING PAST SESSIONS CREATED OUR MISSION, GOALS AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES. WE RECENTLY HIRED A REGULATORY 
          [00:05:04]
AFFAIRS DIRECTOR. HER NAME IS TAYLOR BORER. SHE STARTED LAST WEEK AND SHE WORKED FOR SENATOR SCHWERTNER AS WELL AS SENATOR HANCOCK IN THE PAST. SHE HAS 11 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND SHE'S HEADED THE GROUND RUNNING ON UTILITY ISSUES. FINALLY, WE'VE CREATED VERBAL TESTIMONY TRAINING OR CAPITAL VISIT TRAINING FOR YOU ALL SO THAT WHEN YOU GO DOWN TO TESTIFY, IF YOU GO DOWN TO TESTIFY, YOU FEEL ADEQUATELY TRAINED AND READY TO DO SO. FINALLY, I HAVE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS THAT I SHARED WITH THE COMMITTEE FOR ENGAGEMENT. THOSE INCLUDE ONGOING COMMUNICATION AND PARTICIPATION IN HTML, PARTICULARLY THEIR MUNICIPAL ADVOCACY COALITION, WHICH MEETS REGULARLY EACH WEEK DURING SESSION. INCREASED MONITORING AND PARTICIPATION WITH OUR REGIONAL ENTITIES SUCH AS DART, THE COG, THE MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT, ETC. I FEEL LIKE IT'S NOT ONLY BENEFICIAL, BUT CRITICAL IN OUR MISSION TO PROMOTE AND ADVANCE OUR STRATEGIC INITIATIVES AND GOALS OF THE CITY. THIRD, I, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE BE PART OF THE NORTH TEXAS COMMISSION, WHERE ONE OF THE ONLY CITIES NOT PART OF THE NORTH TEXAS COMMISSION, AND THEY PROVIDE REALLY VALUABLE, LOBBYING THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE LEGISLATIVE SESSION, AS WELL AS, YOU KNOW, GREAT ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND COLLABORATION FOR VISIBILITY AS WELL, IT'S CRITICAL TO ESTABLISH GOOD RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS. AND I BELIEVE I'VE DONE SO THROUGHOUT THE YEARS THAT I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE LEGISLATURE. SO I HAD SOME PREVIOUS RELATIONSHIPS, BUT ESTABLISHING THOSE WITH THENES I DID NOT HAVE HAS BEEN WELL UNDERWAY. AND WE'VE BEEN MEETING REGULARLY, AND THEN I WOULD JUST LIKE INCREASE VISIBILITY. SO, THAT WOULD BE TRANSPARENCY, FOR BOTH THE PUBLIC AND EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS, TO MAKE SURE THAT I'M, I'M HELD ACCOUNTABLE. AND WHAT WE DO, AND OUR MISSION, OUR GOALS ARE ALSO MORE PUBLIC FACING. ANY QUESTIONS? GO AHEAD. YOU'RE ALREADY ON. THANK YOU. 
          MAYOR, BEFORE WE GET INTO QUESTIONS, I'M GOING TO ASK, COUNCILMAN BASS OR COUNCILMAN ART, DO YOU ALL HAVE ANY ANY COMMENTS OR REMARKS? I'D LIKE TO GO. COUNCILMAN ART. OKAY, MAYOR, I JUST I'M EXCITED. AND THE COMMITTEE IS EXCITED, THANKS TO THE CITY MANAGER, MISS ARIEL, BEING HERE, OUR FIRST MEETING WAS VERY EXCITING. MEETING WE LIKE TO FOCUS, THE STRUCTURE, AND WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE, ONCE WE GO THROUGH ONE LEGISLATIVE CYCLE, WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE. BUT WE'RE VERY EXCITED, AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT OUR COMMITTEE TALKED ABOUT WAS GETTING HAVING THE ENTIRE COUNCIL INVOLVED IN SETTING LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES AND ANY INFORMATION THAT COMES THROUGH OUR COMMITTEE WILL BE SHARED WITH FULL COUNCIL. SO, SO THAT, ONCE THE GAVEL DROPS AND MISS ARIEL GIVES US DIRECTION, THEN THE FULL COUNCIL KNOWSWS EVERYTHING. THAT'S GOING ON. SO, WE APPRECIATE WHAT SHE'S DONE ALREADY. AND LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR LEADERSHIP AND, LEADING US, IN SETTING OUR PRIORITIES AND EXECUTING OUR PRIORITIES. SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE, MAYOR. THANK YOU. VERY GOOD. MAYOR PRO TEM MOORE, WERE YOU IN THE QUEUE? YES. OKAY. GO AHEAD. SIR GO AHEAD. ARIEL. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION, LOOKING FOR SOME VERY EXCITING TIMES. AND IF THERE EVER WERE THE TIME THAT WE NEEDED TO BE INVOLVED IN OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM, THAT TIME IS NOW. I'D LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO COME AND BE PART OF OUR DALLAS MOBILITY REGIONAL MOBILITY COUNCIL, OF WHICH I'M A MEMBER OF. AS A MATTER OF FACT, MAYOR, I'M THINKING THAT THIS MAY BE SOMETHING THAT I MAY NEED TO BE ON THAT COMMITTEE WITH THEM AS A RESULT OF THE POLITICAL ARM OF THE RTC BEING THE DMC. BUT THAT'S SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, YOU AND THE CITY MANAGER CAN SPEAK ABOUT. BUT I THINK IT'D BE SOMETHING THAT REALLY BE BENEFICIAL TO YOU AS WELL AS TO ME, BECAUSE OF COURSE, THEY ARE THE KIND OF LEGISLATIVE ARM OF RTC AND THEY'RE DO A FANTASTIC JOB IN THE WAY OF INTERACTING WITH OUR COUNTERPARTS DOWN IN AUSTIN. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. I WOULD LOVE TO BE A PART OF THAT. 
          OKAY. SO THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. SORRY. WILL IF YOU WILL, BJ MAYBE MR. REX AND I'S MICROPHONES ARE SOMEWHAT MIXED UP THIS EVENING. SO WHEN HIS COMES ON, MINE GOES OFF. AND SO NOW WE'RE JUST GOING TO LEAVE THEM BOTH ON AND WE'LL JUST GO WITH THAT FOR NOW, AND I COMPLETELY LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT, BUT WE WILL CERTAINLY WILL TAKE THAT UNDER ADVISEMENT. 
          [00:10:01]
ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? I SEE NONE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO ITEM THREE, 
          [3.  Stormwater Program Presentation The Engineering Department along with Health and Wastewater Treatment Departments are providing the City Council with an overview of the Stormwater, pre-treatment, and other programs related to water quality. This item was requested by Councilmember Lucht and seconded by Councilmember Bass on April 1st.]
STORMWATER PROGRAM PRESENTATION. ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING. HONORABLE MAYOR MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, FOR THE RECORD, I'M MICHAEL POLOCZEK. AND WITH ME TONIGHT IS MANDY PIPPEN. OUR HEALTH DIRECTOR, AS WELL AS JAMES SACHER. OUR WASTEWATER DIRECTOR. AND PER COUNCIL'S REQUEST, BACK IN EARLY APRIL, WE ARE HERE THIS EVENING TO PRESENT TO YOU THE STORMWATER PROGRAM AND ALL IT ENTAILS AND OUR PROACTIVE APPROACH. TO WATER QUALITY IN OUR CREEKS AND STREAMS THROUGHOUT GARLAND. AS MOST OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH ME, I LIKE TO START OFF WITH A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY OF HOW WE GOT HERE. THIS IS A FEDERALLY MANDATED PROGRAM, AND IT WAS IMPOSED ON THE CITIES, WAY BACK WHEN, BY THE CLEAN WATER ACT OF 1987, WHICH ESTABLISHED A PHASED APPROACH FOR REGULATING URBAN STORMWATER RUNOFF THROUGH NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEMS. IT'S COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS NPDES, PERMITTING, IN 1990, IT CAME ABOUT THAT CERTAIN MUNICIPAL SEPARATE STORM SEWER SYSTEMS, WHICH IS MS4, WHICH IS JUST A REALLY FANCY WAY OF SAYING CERTAIN CITIES WITH A CERTAIN SIZE POPULATION OF 100,000 OR MORE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY WERE REQUIRED TO APPLY FOR NPDES PERMITS, AND ALSO COMPLY WITH THE EPA'S ESTABLISHED REGULATIONS FOR WATER QUALITY. THIS AT THE TIME INCLUDED THE METROPLEX CITIES OF GARLAND, DALLAS, FORT WORTH, PLANO, ARLINGTON, IRVING, AND MESQUITE. 
          AND THEN IN 1997, BASICALLY TEN YEARS AFTER IT KIND OF CULMINATED, GARLAND RECEIVED ITS FIRST NPDES PERMIT, AND GARLAND WAS THE FIRST CITY IN THE METROPLEX TO RECEIVE THEIRS. AND ALL THE OTHER CITIES FOLLOWED LATER THAT YEAR. FOR THE PERMITS, THOSE THAT WE LISTED ABOVE, WHAT IS AN NPDES PERMIT? IT ESTABLISHES THE REGULATIONS THAT CITY MUST FOLLOW TO, PER THE, CLEAN WATER ACT, ALONG WITH OUR BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES. BASICALLY, THE CITY'S, IDENTIFIED THEIR BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR WATER QUALITY TO COMPLY WITH THE EPA'S REGULATIONS, CITIES ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR A NEW PERMIT EVERY FIVE YEARS. SO EVERY FIVE YEARS, WE'RE REVISING EVERYTHING, MAKING SURE THAT ALL OF OUR BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ARE WHAT WE WANT TO STICK WITH. AND WE REAPPLY FOR PERMIT THROUGH THE STATE. AND WE JUST SUBMITTED OUR APPLICATION BACK IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR, AND WE HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM THE STATE THAT IT'S BEEN APPROVED. BUT WE ARE LOOKING FOR SOME KIND OF RESPONSE FROM THEM PRETTY SOON. 
          AND THEN EACH YEAR, THE CITY SUBMITS A REPORT OF COMPLIANCE WITH OUR PERMIT, ANNUALLY TO THE STATE. SO A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THAT STORMWATER IS A DEPARTMENT. IT IS NOT A DEPARTMENT. WE DO HAVE VEHICLES THAT RUN AROUND THE CITY AND THEY'LL SAY STORMWATER MANAGEMENT, IT'S NOT ACTUALLY A DEPARTMENT. IT'S MADE UP. IT CULMINATES FROM A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS. THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND WASTEWATER DEPARTMENT WITH US THIS EVENING TO GO OVER WHAT WHAT THEY PERFORM AS PART OF THIS PERMITTING PROCESS. AND BUT IT ALSO INCLUDES STREETS BUILDING INSPECTIONS, ENVIRONMENTAL WASTE SERVICES, AS WELL AS PARKS DEPARTMENT. SO IT INCLUDES A NUMBER OF DEPARTMENTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY TO PUT THIS ALL TOGETHER, TO COMPLY WITH OUR REGULATIONS, OUR EPA'S REGULATIONS. SO WHAT OUR BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES, THOSE THAT ARE HANDLED BY OUR ARE WHAT YOU TYPICALLY SEE WITH OUR PARKS DEPARTMENT LITTER PICKUP CONTRACTS, CONTRACTED LITTER PICKUP, AS WELL AS VOLUNTEER EFFORTS. AND I HAVE A FEW STATISTICS WITH THE LITTER PICKUP IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, LITTER WAS COLLECTED ON APPROXIMATELY 2800 ACRES. THAT INCLUDES MEDIANS, RIGHTS OF WAY, AND PARKS. THEY HAVE COLLECTED PER YEAR ON THE LAST FIVE YEARS, 355 TONS OF TRASH ON OUR STREETS. RIGHTS OF WAY AND PARK. AND THEN ON THE ON THE PHOTO TO THE RIGHT YOU'LL SEE THE PET WASTE BAGS THAT YOU SEE IN A LOT OF PARKS. THERE ARE 71 OF THESE PET WASTE DISPOSAL SITES THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND OUR PARKS, AND ALONG TRAILS. AND, IT'S A CONVENIENT WAY TO PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOG AND OTHER ANIMALS THAT YOU HAVE OUT THERE THAT MAY BE LEAVING SOMETHING BEHIND. 
          THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY WHAT WE WANT. THAT IS A BACTERIAL, THAT'S A BACTERIAL, BASICALLY POLLUTANT THAT GETS WASHED BACK INTO THE CREEKS AND STREAMS, AND THAT'S USUALLY THE HIGHEST THAT'S IN THE CREEKS AND STREAMS WHEN IT'S TESTED. SO WE WANT THE PEOPLE TO PICK UP AFTER THEIR 
          [00:15:04]
PETS, STREET DEPARTMENT GETS INVOLVED WITH TRASH AND DEBRIS REMOVAL FROM, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY AFTER STORM EVENTS. THIS IS PHOTO ON THE LEFT IS ACTUALLY FROM THE RECENT STORM ON MEMORIAL DAY. THEY'RE CLEANING UP THE BRUSH OUT OF THERE, TRYING TO RELIEVE THE FLOW THROUGH THE BOX CULVERTS UNDER THE ROAD, THERE'S SOME MORE INFORMATION HERE. FLOATABLE PROGRAMS. THIS IS JUST THE TRASH THAT THEY PICK UP FOR THE IN THE STORMWATER PROGRAM FROM THE STREETS DEPARTMENT. THEY THEY, NAVIGATE ABOUT 77 MILES OF CREEK A YEAR IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, 77 MILES PER YEAR. AND THEY PICK UP TRASH AND THEY COLLECT 20 TONS WORTH OF TRASH, DURING THE YEAR FROM OUR CREEKS AND STREAM. SO THEY'RE THEY'RE PULLING US OFF THE CREEK BANKS. THEY'RE PULLING IT WHERE IT POOLS AND SETTLES AND COLLECTS, AND THEY'RE CLEANING THAT UP EVERY YEAR, ON THE RIGHT STREET, SWEEPING, EVERYBODY'S FAMILIAR WITH THIS STREET SWEEPING. WE SWEEP ON THE AVERAGE IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, 2895 MILES OF STREETS. SO I'M JUST SHY OF 3000 MILES A YEAR, AND THEY COLLECT 660 TONS OF TRASH AND DEBRIS OFF THE STREETS WITH THE STREET SWEEPING ALONE, BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICE ALSO INCLUDE DETENTION POND INSPECTIONS. THERE ARE 87 DETENTION PONDS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. 82 OF THEM ARE PRIVATELY OWNED AND MAINTAINED BY BUSINESSES AND OTHER ENTITIES. AND FIVE OF THEM ARE MAINTAINED AND OPERATED BY THE CITY. AND AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE IN THE BOTTOM PICTURE THERE''S A THERE'S A TRASH, GREAT, GREAT, IF YOU WILL, OR TRASH SCREED THAT CATCHES TRASH ON THE OUTFALL THAT GOES BACK INTO THE CREEKS AND STREAMS. IT COLLECTS THIS TRASH. AND THIS IS WHAT WE GO INSPECT, ARE THESE PONDS TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE BEING MAINTAINED PROPERLY. THAT THE GRATES ARE STILL OPERATIONAL, THAT THEY'RE NOT MISSING THINGS LIKE THAT, AND THAT THE TRASH IS BEING CONTINUALLY PICKED UP. THERE ARE A FEW PROBLEM PONDS AROUND THE CITY THAT ARE OLDER, THAT HAVE HAD SOME MAINTENANCE ISSUES WITH PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT AREAS, AND THOSE WE ACTUALLY INSPECT MORE THANNCE A YEAR. IT'S BEEN 2 OR 3 TIMES A YEAR OR BACK AFTER BIG STORM EVENTS. ON THE RIGHT ARE SOME BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE COMMONLY SEE. YOU'LL SESEE THESE ON ON PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT SITES. THE BLACK, SILT SCREEN THAT YOU SEE ON THE ON THE TOP PICTURE. THE IS THE MOST COMMON THAT YOU SEE ON EVERY PROJECT. IT'LL EITHER BE ON A ON A CITY PROJECT ALONG A ROADWAYS, OR YOU'LL SEE THEM ON A PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT SITE. BUT THIS KEEPS THE DIRT AND OTHER POLLUTANTS FROM WASHING OFF THE CONSTRUCTION SITES INTO OUR STREAMS AND CREEKS. AND THEN YOU'LL SEE A FEW LIKE YOU SEE ON THE BOTTOM PICTURE. THAT'S THOSE ARE ACTUALLY CALLED WHAT THEY CALL WATTLES. WATTLES AND THOSE ARE USED TO KEEP AGAIN, ANYTHING FROM ERODING BACK INTO THE STORM DRAIN, ESPECIALLY A GREAT SYSTEM LIKE YOU SEE INN THE FOREGROUND. THERE THE GENTLEMAN STANDING NEXT TO ALSO IN OUR BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES, OUR STREAM BANK REPAIR. AND FOR EROSION, AS THESE ARE COMMONLY KNOWN TO AS OUR AS OUR, EROSION PROTECTION PROGRAM, WHERE P PROPERTY OWNERS PARTICIPATE IN THE COST OF PROTECTING THEIR BANKS. THEY MAY BE LIKE IN THIS PICTURE YOU CAN SEE THE BUILDING OFF TO THE LEFT. IT'S THREATENING THE BUILDING. AND THEY WANTED TO HAVE THIS EROSION STOPPED BEFORE IT THREATENED THEIR PROPERTY TOO MUCH FURTHER. AND SO WE HARD ARMORED THAT SIDE. BUT THERE'S ALSO THIS WAS A GREAT PICTURE BECAUSE ON THE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THAT SAME PICTURE, WE WERE ABLE TO SLOPE THE EMBANKMENT BACK AND PUT INTO VEGETATED MAT THAT WAS THAT WILL ACTUALLY REVEGETATE AND REGROW, WHICH IS WHICH IS A MUCH BETTER SITUATION THAN REALLY THE HARD ARMORING. 
          IF WE CAN GET AREAS THAT WE CAN DO THAT, THE PICTURE ON THE RIGHT IS JUST A LARGER SCALE PROJECT OF EROSION THAT WE HAD A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO THAT THEY PARTICIPATED IN. AND, AND, BUT THERE WAS A LOT OF EROSION ALONG THAT CREEK BANK AS WELL, WITH THE WINE AND TWIST AND TURNS OF THE CREEK AND THE STREAM AND OUR BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES. WE ALSO HAVE EDUCATION BILLBOARDS. 
          MOST OF YOU HAVE SEEN THE BILLBOARDS AROUND THE CITY WHERE WE'VE ADVERTISED, TO PICK UP AFTER YOUR PETS. THERE'S ALL SORTS OF THINGS THAT WE'VE HAD. SOME OF Y'ALL MAY HAVE REMEMBERED THIS. THIS WAS JUST FROM A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. AND I BELIEVE THIS BILLBOARD, BOTH OF THESE BILLBOARDS WERE UP ALONG 78, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, BUT THEY'RE BOTH IN ENGLISH AND IN SPANISH. AND THEN, OF COURSE, WE HAVE VEHICLE AND TRASH BIN WRAPS, THE TRASH CANS IN OUR PARKS, IN PUBLIC USE TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THEM, YOU KNOW, TRASHY PARKS MAKE TRASHY CREEKS. 
          SO, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT PEOPLE SEE THEM AND THEY NOTICE THEM AND THAT THEY'RE USING THEM. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE THE ON OUR STORMWATER VEHICLES, A LOT OF RAPS ON THE BACK ENDS AS BASICALLY MOBILE BILLBOARDS AROUND THE CITY TRYING TO EDUCATE PEOPLE. IN ADDITION, EDUCATION ALSO GOES INTO THE SCHOOLS WE HAVE A PUBLIC OUTREACH WITH ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS, TO EDUCATE THE STUDENTS ON WHAT, NOT TO PUT DOWN THE STORM DRAIN, YOU BE SURPRISED 
          [00:20:06]
WHAT PEOPLE THINK IS OKAY TO PUT DOWN OUR STORM DRAINS. AND THEN ON OCCASIONS, HOAS WILL CALL US AND OUR OUR PUBLIC OUTREACH WILL ALSO REACH OUT. AND THEY'LL GO TO AN HOA AND PRESENT TO HOAS AT TIMES UPON REQUEST, WE USED TO DO ESSAY CONTESTS, BUT IN MORE RECENT YEARS WE'VE DONE VIDEO CONTESTS BOTH IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH. AND THE WINNERS OF THAT CONTEST ACTUALLY GET THEIR VIDEO ADVERTISED ON VARIOUS SPECTRUM CHANNELS. AT THE END, SO THE PARENTS CAN BE PROUD TO SEE THEIR KIDS. VIDEO ON ON ON A COMMERCIAL UTILITY BILL STUFFERS. YOU GET THESE IN YOUR UTILITY BILLS AT CERTAIN TIMES OF YEAR, ADVERTISING AND PROMOTING, WATER QUALITY AS WELL AS THE CITY PRESS. AND THEN WE ALSO SET UP BOOTHS, AT DIFFERENT SPECIAL EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. ONE OTHER BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICE IS WATER QUALITY MONITORING. AND THIS IS THIS IS, SOMETHING THAT WE ARE IT'S REQUIRED AND WE CONTRACT WITH A REGIONAL MONITORING COMPANY THROUGH THE NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS AND ALL THE CITIES THAT ARE THAT HAVE TO THAT HAVE TO DO THIS AND MANAGE AND MONITOR THEIR, THEIR CREEKS, ACTUALLY PAY INTO THIS AND IT GETS US A BETTER PRICE BECAUSE IT'S, IT'S, IT'S, I GUESS, MORE PEOPLE WILL GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT BETTER PRICE ON ON JUST US TRYING TO GO MONITOR OUR OWN ON OUR OWN ACCORD. BUT THERE'S THREE LOCATIONS ALONG DUCK CREEK IN ROWLETT CREEK THAT WE THAT WE SELECT AND WE'LL DO TWO YEARS OF MONITORING ALONG DUCK CREEK. AND THEN THE NEXT TWO YEARS OF OUR PERMIT WILL BE ALONG ROWLETT CREEK. AND THEN THERE'S A YEAR OFF, WHICH IS WHEN WE START REAPPLYING FOR OUR PERMIT. SO THERE'S A REST PERIOD, AND THEN WE'LL GO BACK TWO YEARS ON DUCK CREEK, TWO YEARS ON ROWLETT CREEK. BUT THERE ARE THREE STATIONS ALONG EACH CREEK. AND WHAT YOU SEE HERE ON THE RIGHT IS THE BOX THAT CONTAINS THE UNIT ON THE INSIDE, WHICH YOU CAN SEE ON THE LEFT AND AT A POINT OR A POINT ONE INCH RN OR A ONE TENTH OF AN INCH RAIN TRIGGERS THIS MECHANISM. THERE'S A THERE'S A SMALL TUBE THAT COMES OUT OF THIS BOX AND GOES, THIS IS USUALLY SECURED UP AT THE TOP OF THE BANK AGAINST A TREE ANCHORED TO A TREE OR SOME IMMOVABLE OBJECT, AND THEN THIS TUBE COMES DOWN AND IS AT THE WATER. AND THEN ONCE IT TRIGGERS, IT STARTS SIPHONING WATER UP INTO AND TAKING THE SAMPLE INTO THE INTO THE UNIT. ONCE IT'S FULL, IT IT TURNS OFF. 
          IT NOTIFIES THE COMPANY TO COME PICK UP THE SAMPLE AND TAKE IT FOR TESTING. AND THEN IT'S TESTED FOR ALL DIFFERENT POLLUTANTS IN THE IN THE WATER. ALL THIS INFORMATION IS SENT BACK TO THE CITY AS WELL AS THE STATE. AND THEN WE ALSO INCLUDED IN OUR ANNUAL PERMIT OR OUR ANNUAL REPORT EVERY YEAR FOR THE STATE. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, THE BOX IS SOMETIMES FOUND AT THE TOP OF THE BANK AND PEOPLE LIKE TO PUT THEIR OWN ARTISTIC IMPRSIONS ON THESE BOXES, WE DID REPAINT THEM FOR A WHILE, BUT THEY JUST KIND OF GOT TO THE POINT THAT IF THEY WEREN'T, IF THEY WERE ALREADY TAGGED, THEN PEOPLE DIDN'T SEEM TO BOTHER HIM AFTER THAT. SO, BUT WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MANDY, AND SHE WILL INFORM YOU ALL ABOUT THE INDUSTRIAL INSPECTIONS. ALL RIGHT. AND, MANDY, I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO PULL THAT MIC A LITTLE CLOSER TO YOU THERE. BETTER. THANK YOU. PERFECT. ALL RIGHT. WELL, GOOD EVENING, INDUSTRIAL INSPECTIONS ARE JUST ONE THING WE DO, BUT WE DO THE INSPECTION OF INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES AND HANDLE ANY COMPLAINTS THAT WE MIGHT GET ABOUT THE INDUSTRIAL FACILITY. WE ALSO DO THE SAME FOR COMMERCIAL FACILITIES. AND THEN WE DO RESIDENTIAL COMPLAINTS PERTAINING TO STORMWATER, IN ADDITION TO THE ENFORCEMENT ARM, WE HAVE A SAMPLING ACTIVITIES, DRY WEATHER SCREENING, WET WEATHER SCREENINGS, CREEK WALKING, OVERFLIGHT AND THEN SPILL RESPONSE. AND THEN WE ALSO HANDLE THE CONTRACT WITH THE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION CENTER WITH DALLAS COUNTY. SO THESE ARE JUST SOME PHOTOS OF A NOT TYPICAL A BAD INDUSTRIAL INSPECTION, THE INSPECTOR WILL GO OUT. THESE ARE ALL SURPRISE INSPECTIONS. AND THEY'LL LOOK AROUND THE PROPERTY, SEE, YOU KNOW HOW THEY'RE HANDLINSTORAGE OF CHEMICAL, IF THEY HAVE SECONDARY CONTAINMENT? THEY'LL LOOK AT THEIR STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN, THERE'S A WHOLE CHECK SHEET. THEY LOOK AT, AND THAT IS FOR INDUSTRIALS, MUNICIPAL FACILITIES LIKE THE GOLF COURSE OR, TRANSFER STATIO, LANDFILL, FLEET PARKS, AND THEN PRIORITIES, WHICH ARE DESIGNATED BY THE STATE, THEY SEND US A LIST EVERY YEAR OF, MORE HIGH RISK BUSINESSES, COMMERCIAL INSPECTIONS, THAT WOULD BE LIKE YOUR AUTO MECHANIC SHOP OR YOUR TIRE SHOPS OR ANYTHING WHERE THEY MIGHT BE DOING SOME ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE, BUT THEY'RE NOT MAKING A PRODUCT OR ADDING A VALUE TO A PRODUCT. THEY'RE DOING A SERVICE. WE ALSO DO RESIDENTIAL COMPLAINTS. THE ONE 
          [00:25:03]
ON THE LEFT IS A SWIMMING POOL DRAINING DOWN THE ALLEY. WE GET THOSE A LOT AND THEN THE TYPICAL CAR DRIPPING OIL IN THE STREET. DRY AND WET WEATHER SCREENINGS, DRY WEATHER SCREENINGS OR WHEN WE VISIT THESE OUTFALLS, THERE ARE AT LEAST 650. WE HAVE TO VISIT THEM ALL WITHIN FIVE YEAR PERMIT PERIOD, AND BASICALLY THEY'RE JUST LOOKING TO SEE WHAT IS DRY, IF THERE'S ANY WATER FLOWING, IF THERE IS OR SHOULDN'T BE BECAUSE IT'S BEEN DRY FOR THE AMOUNT OF PERIOD, I THINK IT'S 72 HOURS, AND SO THEN THEY CAN INVESTIGATE WHERE IS THIS COMING FROM? THEY BACKTRAC, THE OTHER PICTURE IS ACTUALLY IT'S NOT RAINING, BUT IT'S JUST A LITTLE LOOK AT WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR WHEN IT DOES RAIN, WHICH IS THE SURGE OF WATER COMING DOWN. SO THIS IS KIND OF WHAT, WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE. BUT THEY TAKE SAMPLES OF THAT, SEND IT TO OUR OWN LAB AND WE SHARE THE RESULTS FOR THE REPOR, WE ALSO PARTICIPATE IN CREEK WALKING, WE HAVE BEEN DOING 14 MILES A YEAR. AND THIS IS WHERE YOU BASICALLY YOU ACTUALLY WALK THE CREEK LOOKING FOR OUTFALLS ON THE BANKS THAT ARE CONTRIBUTING SOME KIND OF ILLICIT SUBSTANCE. ALSO, YOU SEE WILDLIFE WHILE WE'RE OUT THERE, THE OVERFLIGHT IS ONCE A YEAR. WE GO OUT IN A LITTLE HELICOPTER AND TAKE PHOTOS OF USUALLY THE DUSTRIAL AREAS, AND YOU CAN SEE FROM THE AIR WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE, YOU KNOW, ON THE GROUND. THEN WE CAN INVESTIGATE AFTER AND THEN WE HAVE A RAINBOW OF SPILL RESPONSE IN THE CREEK, I MEAN, THIS IS ANYTHING FROM THE BIG EVENTS THAT WE'VE HAD OF LATE, AS OF LATE TO, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT GOES IT'S NOT AS WIDELY KNOWN, FROM JUST ANY PARTICULAR INDUSTRIAL, A LOT, A LOT OF TIMES IT'S ACCIDENTAL, SOMETIMES WE HAVE PEOPLE DISCHARGING ON PURPOSE, SO WE WOULD TRACE BACK, YOU KNOW, WHERE THIS COME FROM. SOMETIMES WE HELP TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE WITH THE FISH KILL COUNT. THAT'S WHAT THE FISH ARE THERE, AND ALSO IN THE STREETS. ANY SPILLS? THAT WAS A POOL COMPANY THAT DISCHARGED ACCIDENTALLY, AND THEN THE HAZARDOUS HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE, COLLECTION CENTER ON ON PLANO ROAD, ANY, CITIZEN OF GARLAND CAN BRING PROOF OF RESIDENCY AND DROP OFF, YOU KNOW, OLD PAINT OR BATTERIES, ANYTHING LIKE THAT. THAT'S IT FOR HEALTH. MICROPHON. SO WHAT IS WASTEWATER PRETREATMENT? WASTEWATER PRETREATMENT REFERS TO THE PROCESS OF TREATING WASTEWATER BY COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES TO REMOVE HARMFUL POLLUTANTS, REMOVING POLLUTANTS HELPS TO PROTECT THE WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM. AND OUR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS. THE CITY OF GARLAND OWNED, OWNS, OPERATES AND MAINTAINS TWO WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS THE ROWLETT CREEK WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT, LOCATED IN GARLAND, AND THE DUCK CREEK WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT, LOCATED IN SUNNYVALE. AND OUR SLIDE HERE SHOWS THE LOCATIONS OF THOSE PLANTS. THE TWO TREATMENT PLANTS ARE SIMILAR IN CONSTRUCTION, WITH THE PRIMARY DIFFERENCE BEING THEIR SIZE AND HOW SOLIDS ARE PROCESSED, PROCESSED. ON THE LEFT WE HAVE OUR DUCK CREEK WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT THAT IS DESIGNED TO TREAT 40 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY OF WASTEWATER. AND ON THE RIGHT WE HAVE OUR ROWLETT, ROWLETT CREEK PLANT, WHICH IS ALMOST HALF THE SIZE. AND IT'S DESIGNED TO TREAT 24 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY OF WASTEWATER. 
          THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF PRETREATMENT ARE TO REDUCE AND ELIMINATE HARMFUL POLLUTANTS, PROTECT MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PROCESSES, AND PREVENT ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE. THE PRETREATMENT PROGRAM IS A FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL PARTNERSHIP THAT AIMS TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF POLLUTANTS THAT INDUSTRIES AND OTHER SOURCES RELEASE INTO MUNICIPAL SEWER SYSTEMS. INDIVIDUAL ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES WITHIN THE PROGRAM INCLUDE. THE US EPA SETS NATIONAL PRETREATMENT STANDARDS, TCE, EC HERE IN TEXAS OVERSEES THE STATE ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS AND FINALLY THE CITY OF GARLAND ISSUES PERMITS, MONITORS INDUSTRIES, AND 
          [00:30:04]
ENFORCES STANDARDS. THE EPA REQUIRES THE CITY OF GARLAND TO ISSUE PERMITS TO ANY INDUSTRY WHO FALLS UNDER SPECIFIC EPA CATEGORIES. SO IN TWO, BUSINESSES THAT WOULD BE WITHIN THAT WOULD BE METAL FINISHING AND PAINT MANUFACTURING. WE ALSO ISSUE A PERMIT TO ANY, ANY INDUSTRY THAT DISCHARGES MORE THAN 25,000 GALLONS PER DAY OF PROCESSED WASTEWATER OR WHO DISCHARGES MORE THAN 5% OF THE RECEIVING TREATMENT PLANTS CAPACITY. SO IF THEY IF THEY'RE PRODUCING A LOT OF WASTEWATER, THEY COULD FALL UNDER THIS AS WELL. OR FINALLY HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO ADVERSELY AFFECT SEWER SYSTEMS OR WASTEWATER PLANTS. SO AGAIN, YOU U CAN SEES AS WE'RE GOING THROUGH THIS, THIS, PROGRAM, THE MAIN GOAL AND OBJECTIVE IS TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR PLANTS CONTINUE TO OPERATE AS THEY'RE DESIGNED WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO JUST TAKE ANY CHEMICAL OR PAINT OR A ANY OTHER GARBAGE COME IN. IT UPSETS THE PROCESS. AND ULTIMATELY WHAT COMES IN GOES OUT. SO OUR PRETREATMENT PROGRAM HERE IS PRETTY MUCH AN OVERSIGHT TO WORK WITH OUR OUR INDUSTRY TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE PRE-TREATING THEIR WASTE TO THE STANDARDS WHERE WE CAN ACCEPT THE WASTE. MOVING ON. HERE'S OUR PRETREATMENT TEAM, THEY DON'T NORMALLY DRESS LIKE THIS AT WORK. THIS THIS, PICTURE WAS, TAKEN DURING OUR MAY APPRECIATION EVENT. EMPLOYEE APPRECIATION EVENT, WE HAVE SEVEN EMPLOYEES WITHIN OUR PRETREATMENT GROUP, SOME OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE, AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, PERMITTING, SAMPLING, INSPECTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS, AS WELL AS PUBLIC EDUCATION. THE CITY OF GARLAND PROVIDES PRETREATMENT SERVICES FOR NOT JUST THE CITY OF GARLAND. WE ALSO LOOK AFTER ROWLETT, SAATCH, SUNNYVALE, AND THE DALLAS COUNTY MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT. NUMBER FOUR, AS WELL AS PARTS OF DALLAS AND RICHARDSON. ANY QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD. ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? OKAY CAN EVERYBODY QUEUE IN AGAIN, PLEASE? THERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT. FIRST UP YOU'RE YOU'RE IN THERE. COUNCIL MEMBER DUTTON. HI FIRST, THANKS FOR THE GREAT PRESENTATIONS, THOUGH. SOME GOOD INFO THAT I THINK, PROBABLY A LOT OF US DIDN'T KNOW EXISTED. SO REALLY APPRECIATE THAT, SO I HAVE A WHOLE SLEW OF QUESTIONS I'M GOING TO GO TRY TO GO FAST ISH, SO ONE OF MY QUESTIONS WOULD BE, THE FLYOVERS THAT WE'RE DOING, I KNOW LAST YEAR WE APPROVED A DRONE, MAYBE FOR THE WATER DEPARTMENT. IS THAT DOES ANYONE ELSE REMEMBER THAT WATER DEPARTMENT? SO TO BE MORE COST EFFECTIVE? BOTH. I THINK WALKING THE CREEK AND AS WELL AS THE FLYOVER, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE COULD POTENTIALLY UTILIZE A DRONE FOR, I FEEL LIKE THAT WOULD BE. COME ON, CRYSTAL. I'M SORRY. SO WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING THAT PROGRAM OFF THE GROUND, YOU ARE CORRECT. IT WAS APPROVED IN LAST YEAR, BUT WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF WORKING THROUGH WHAT ALL OF THAT LOOKS LIKE, WHAT WE CAN AND CAN'T DO WITH THE DRONES. SO IT'S COMING. OKAY. PERFECT. OKAY ALSO, THOUGH, THE FLYOVER IS A THOUSAND ACRES, SO I DON'T KNOW THAT A DRONE I DON'T KNOW WHAT ITS SPAN IS, BUT, FOR THE CREEK WALKING ELEMENT. YES, WE DID TALK ABOUT THAT JUST BECAUSE OF SAFETY AS WELL, BUT RIGHT NOW, THE WAY IT'S WRITTEN, IT SAYS WALKING. SO WE WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE THE WORDING. BUT YEAH, WE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT. OKAY, GOOD DEAL, THEN LET'S SEE, THE DEBRIS REMOVAL FROM STREAMS, ON THE SITE, IT'S, IT SAYS AFTER, STORMS, DO WE REMOVE DEBRIS FROM STREAMS OTHER THAN AFTER STORMS? YES, WE HAVE A PROACTIVE APPROACH FOR THE FOR THE ACTUAL FLOATABLES, THE ACTUAL TRASH AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES ALONG THE STREAMS TO COVER 77 MILES IN A YEAR. THEY HAVE TO ACTUALLY DO THAT ON A ON NON STORM EVENTS. OBVIOUSLY BUT THE CLEANUP AT THE AT THE BRIDGES AND ALL THE 
          [00:35:07]
DEBRIS WITH THE BRUSH AND THE AND THE PILE THAT'S PILED UP AGAINST BRIDGES A THINGS LIKE THAT, LIKE YOU SAW IN THE PHOTO THAT IS OF COURSE AFTER CERTAIN, RAIN EVENTS, THERE ARE CERTAIN BRIDGES AROUND THAT ARE THAT ARE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO CATCHING DEBRIS AS WELL. AND, AND WE KNOW WHERE THOSE AREAS ARE TO GO ACTUALLY OUT AND CLEAN THEM UP. BUT AGAIN, THAT DOESN'T ACTUALLY THE BRUSH AND EVERYTHING DOES NOT GET MONITORED AS FAR AS WEIGHT. IT'S JUST THE TRASH THAT WE PICK UP THAT GETS MONITORED. BUT ALL THE DEBRIS THAT WE PICKED UP AFTER THESE LAST STORMS, OH, THIS WHOLE SPRING, LET ME JUST PUT IT THAT WAY. A LOT OF RAIN, THAT WAS ALL HAULED OFF, BUT THAT'S NOT ACTUALLY DOCUMENTED AS FAR AS WEIGHT. OKAY, PERFECT, SO IF THERE'S A BUSINESS, THAT BACKS ALONG THE CREEK, THAT HAS A SPECIFIC, NEED FOR TO BE CLEARED OUT, IS THAT SOMETHING THEY COULD JUST REACH OUT TO YOU GUYS AND MAYBE HAVE SOMEONE GO LOOK AT IT, OR HOW HOW WOULD THAT HAPPEN? THAT WOULD ACTUALLY GO THROUGH OUR STREET DEPARTMENT. THEY HAVE THE STORMWATER CREWS WITH OUR STREET DEPARTMENT, AND YOU CAN CONTACT THEM AND THEY'LL THEY'LL PUT THAT ON THEIR WORK ORDER LIST. PERFECT I'VE HAD A FEW RESIDENTS, COMMENT ABOUT OLD CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS IN THE CREEK BEDS, THAT ILLEGAL DUMPING. I MEAN, IT'S OUR IT'S OUR DEBRIS. 
          IS THERE I DON'T KNOW IF THERE', LIKE, IF WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT IF THERE'S A REASON WHY IT'S THERE. JUST SOMETHING FOR THE RADAR. YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE ME AN ANSWER RIGHT NOW. JUST. IT'S BEEN MENTIONED SEVERAL TIMES BY THERE ARE CERTAIN LOCATIONS YOU CAN SEND US THOSE LOCATIONS. 
          WE'LL GO CHECK THAT. PERFECT. AND LET'S SEE, DO WE HAVE, MAYBE A ROUGH ESMAMATE OF HOW MANY FINES THAT WE GIVE OUT PER MONTH OR YEAR, LIKE IN THE INDUSTRIAL ZONE FOR PEOPLE THAT AREN'T ABIDING BY THE RULES AND REGULATIONS, I DON'T KNOW, OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT I COULD FIND OUT. OKAY PERFECT. YOU JUST WANT TO KNOW INDUSTRIAL OR JUST. YEAH. YEAH. JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY. ALL RIGHT. I KNOW IT'S A IT'S A HOT TOPIC, SO I'M JUST CURIOUS, LIKE, IS IT MORE THAN WHAT WE THINK OR IS IT LESS THAN, YOU KNOW, IS THERE IS IT BIGGER IN OUR HEAD THAN WHAT IT REALLY IS, JUST KIND OF GIVE US SOME KIND OF A BASELINE. I GUESS, TO GO OFF OF. OKAY. 
          AWESOME. I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. OKAY. VERY GOOD. COUNCIL MEMBER HRICK. THANK YOU. 
          MAYOR, THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE PRESENTATIONS HERE. A QUESTION ABOUT YOU SAID THE DETENTION PONDS INSPECTIONS. WE DO THOSE. I WOULD GUESS THERE HAVE BEEN MORE IN THE CITY THAN 87. BUT AS PART OF THAT, IS IT TIED TO THEIR CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY OR HOW ARE THOSE INSPECTIONS? HOW DO THEY KEEP CURRENT WITH THEM? THERE ARE MORE THAN 87 IN THE CITY, BUT THE ONES THAT ARE ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED SINCE WE'VE BEEN IN THE PROGRAM THAT INCLUDE WATER QUALITY FEATURES. SOME OF THE OLD DETENTION PONDS AROUND THE CITY DO NOT HAVE THOSE FEATURES. THEY WERE BUILT PRIOR TO THIS PROGRAM. SO THERE ARE YOU ARE CORRECT. THERE ARE OTHER DETENTION PONDS AROUND THE CITY, BUT THEY'RE NOT PART OF THIS PROGRAM. THE 87 THAT WE DO INSPECT DO HAVE WATER QUALITY FEATURES. IS STORMWATER QUALITY FEATURES. A REQUIREMENT OF NEW CONSTRUCTION? YES. IF THEY REQUIRE DETENTION POND IT IS. YES. BUT ONLY DETENTION PONDS. 
          YES OKAY. THAT'S CORRECT OKAY. THANK YOU MAYOR. THANK YOU VERY GOOD. MAYOR PRO TEM MOORE. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. AGAIN ECHOING WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN STATED. READY TO APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION. LOTS OF GOOD INFORMATION THERE. ON ONE OF YOUR SLIDES, YOU SHOWED A SWIMMING POOL BEING DRAINED INTO THE ALLEYWAY. ARE THERE PROCESSES FOR EXAMPLE, IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WE DO HAVE PEOPLE WHO DRAIN THEIR POOLS, BUT IS THERE A PROCESS? SHOULD THEY DRAIN THE POOL INTO THE ALLEYWAY? OR THERE ARE SOME PROCESS BY WHICH YOU DON'T WANT THAT PARTICULAR CONTAMINANT GOING INTO THE SYSTEM? BASICALLY, WHAT'S ALLOWED IN THE STORM DRAIN IS STORMWATER ONLY. SO ANY CHEMICALS THAT ARE STILL IN THAT POOL ARE GOING TO BE GOING STRAIGHT TO THE CREEK. SO THE IDEAL CORRECT WAY TO DO IT IS TO RUN YOUR PUMP TO YOUR CLEAN OUT, AND IT GOES TO THE SANITARY SEWER. PUMP TO THE CLEAN OUT SO YOU DON'T HAVE A CLEAN OUT, TO YOUR TO YOUR WASTEWATER SERVICE LINE OF YOUR HOME. OKAY. AND THAT THAT WOULD BE THE THEN A LOT OF TIMES YOU HAVE A CLEAN OUT IN EITHER THE FRONT OR THE BACK, WHEREVER YOUR SERVICE IS, THAT ACTUALLY GOES AND CONNECTS TO, TO THE MAIN AND THAT THAT MAIN COULD BE IN AN ALLEY, IT COULD BE IN THE STREET, BUT THERE'S TYPICALLY A CLEAN OUT THAT YOU CAN FIND IT. 
          BUT THAT'S WHERE THE PUMP FROM THE POOL SHOULD BE TIED INTO IS THE WASTEWATER SYSTEM FROM THE HOME. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. VERY GOOD. DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM LUCK. LU, 
          [00:40:06]
SO ONE OF THE PUBLIC INFORMATION BILLBOARDS I'VE SEEN IS DON'T BLOW YOUR CLIPPINGS INTO THE INTO THE STREET. RIGHT. I SEE COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES DOING THAT ALL THE TIME IN FACT, I, I SEE IT EVEN IN, IN CITY OWNED PROPERTIES SOMETIMES, SO HOW DO WE REPORT STUFF LIKE THAT? BECAUSE IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO CATCH PEOPLE DOING IT. YOU HAVE TO DO IT. YOU HAVE TO SEE THEM, YOU KNOW, DOING IT. WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR PEOPLE TO DO WHEN THEY SEE THAT HAPPENING? YOU CAN CALL A COMPLAINT INTO OUR OFFICE, IF IT'S LIKE A BUSINESS, WE COULD JUST TALK TO THE BUSINESS. HEY, YOUR COMPANY IS DOING THIS. IT'S EASIER TO TRACK. OR IF SOMEBODY COULD GET THE NUMBER OFF, YOU KNOW, THE TRUCK OR WHATEVER SERVICE, IF THEY HAVE IT POSTED. BUT WE CAN STILL JUST TALK TO THE HOMEOWNER AND SAY, HEY, YOUR COMPANY IS DOING THIS AND EDUCATE REALLY IS OUR FIRST STOP, OKAY? AND THERE'S BEEN MORE THAN ONE OCCASION WHERE WE'VE HAD TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH OUR CONTRACTOR. OH FOR SURE. SO WE PROBABLY NEED TO PUT THAT ON SOMEBODY'S LIST TO DO THAT AGAI, WELL, THE WATER MONITORING BOXES, SO THOSE ONLY WORK WHEN THERE'S A RAIN EVENT. WHAT DO YOU DO, OUTSIDE OF RAIN EVENTS, IS THERE LIKE, IS THERE AN OPTION TO DO VIDEO MONITORING OR, ANY I KNOW THAT THEY'RE DIFFICULT BOXES TO KEEP FREE OF DEBRIS AND ALL OF THAT, SO WHAT WHAT DO YOU WHAT DO YOU USE OUTSIDE OF A RAIN EVENT TO MONITOR THE CREEKS? WELL, THAT IS THE WET WEATHER MONITORING. AGAIN, MANDY MENTIONED THE DRY WEATHER MONITORING THAT THEY PERFORM WHERE THEY THEY ACTUALLY LOOK AT OUTFALLS. AND IF THERE'S I THINK SHE SAID 72 HOURS, IF THERE'S STILL WATER COMING OUT, WHY IS THERE WATER COMING OUT. 
          AND THEN IS THERE SOMETHING. AND THEY ACTUALLY SAMPLE THAT. SO THERE ARE DRY WEATHER SCREENINGS THAT THEY THAT THEY PERFORM. BUT AGAIN I'LL LET HER EXPAND ON THAT. IF, IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE. YEAH WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT THE OUTFALLS AS FAR AS THE FLOWING CREEK DURING A DRY EVENT. I MEAN, WE JUST WOULD WALK THE CREEK RANDOMLY, BUT, N, THERE'S NO SAMPLING TAKEN JUST RANDOMLY, LIKE THAT. OKAY, I DID MENTION IT BEFORE, BUT IT MAY BE, YOU KNOW, KIND OF NEAT TO HAVE LIKE A 24 HOUR WEBCAM JUST POINTED AT THE CREEK. I, YOU KNOW, JUST TO SEE STUFF. I'M SURE YOU'D SEE ALL KINDS OF STUFF, BUT ESPECIALLY, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, THINGS HAPPEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. AND, I THINK THAT THAT'S WHEN A LOT OF BAD THINGS HAPPEN. SO BEING ABLE TO SEE THAT, IN REAL TIME WOULD BE INTERESTING. HOW OFTEN ARE YOU DOING SURPRISE INSPECTIONS ON THOSE SINCE THE SIGNIFICANT INDUSTRIAL USERS, THE PRIORITIES IS ANNUALLY. HAVE YOU SEEN INCIDENTS WHERE YOU THINK THAT THAT MIGHT BE NEEDED MORE OFTEN? I DON'T THINK THE PRIORITIES, BECAUSE THEY KNOW WE ARE COMING FREQUENTLY. THEY AREN'T USUALLY OUR OFFENDERS. IT'S THE ONES YOU SEE EVERY FIVE YEARS. AND HOW MANY LIKE STRIKES DOES A COMPANY GET BEFORE THEY'RE SHUT DOWN FO, JUST CHARGING SUBSTANCES INTO THE. WELL, WE REALLY DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO SHUT DOWN A BUSINESS AS A HEALTH DEPARTMENT BECAUSE WE DON'T ISSUE PERMITS THAT WE CAN REVOKE. OKAY, BUT WE BASICALLY JUST WRITE CITATIONS UNTIL THEY GET THE HINT. OKAY. WELL, I MEAN, WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY DON'T, AND I DON'T I DON'T KNOW HOW OFTEN YOU COME ACROSS THIS. SO WE'RE IN IT RIGHT NOW ARE YOU. YES SO I MEAN, IF, IF THEY'RE DUMPING TOXINS INTO OUR, IN OUR STORMWATER SYSTEM, THERE'S GOGOT TO BE A WAY TO STP THEM. YEAH SORRY TO BELABOR IT. I'M GONNA MAKE ME STAND UP. I'M SORRY. WE DON'T APOLOGIZE FOR THAT, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, WE DO HAVE SOME MECHANISMS IN THE CODE THAT ALLOW US TO. FOR REPEAT OFFENDERS, WHETHER IT'S ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH ISSUE OR WHETHER IT'S SOME OTHER CODE VIOLATION WHERE WE CAN ACTUALLY DESIGNATE A COMPANY OR A PROPERTY OWNER A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE AND THAT'S WHEN THEY GET THREE OR MORE CONVICTIONS WITHIN A 12 YEAR, 12 MONTH PERIOD. AND WE CAN ACTUALLY PULL THEIR CEO AND PULL THEIR ELECTRICITY. SO THEYEY CAN'T, BECAUSE THE THEORY IS WE'RE NOT GOING TO SUPPLY UTILITIES TO A COMPANY THAT'S OPERATING AS A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE. OKAY. THANK YOU, AND THEN DO WE HAVE AN INCENTIVE PROGRAM FOR BUSINESSES WHO ADOPT, LIKE CLEAN WATER INITIATIVES FOR PRETREATMENT DISCHARGE OR STORAGE OF CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES? WE DON'T I'M NOT AWARE OF ONE. OKAY, THAT MIGHT 
          [00:45:02]
BE SOMETHING TO LOOK INTO, I'D LOVE TO SEE MORE. YOU KNOW, PEOPLE DO BETTER WITHOUT HAVING TO BE ASKED. THAT'S ALWAYS NICE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. VERY GOOD. 
          COUNCILOR WILLIAMS. THANK YOU. MAYOR. GOOD EVENING. I ECHO THE KUDOS. QUICK QUESTION, THIS IS MICHAEL. YOU MENTIONED YOU SHOWED A PICTURE OF STREET SWEEPER UP THERE. YES, SIR. I'VE HAD SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT IT. PEOPLE WANTING IF SOMEBODY WANTS ONE REQUEST, WHO DO THEY CALL MIAEL. WHAT DEPARTMENT? I WASN'T SURE. IT IS THE STREET DEPARTMENT. IT'S STREET. I THOUGHT IT WAS STREET, BUT. BUT I WASN'T, WASN'T SURE. PARTICULARLY AFTER THE STORMS. AFTER THE STORM, PICKUPS AND THE LEAVES WERE LEFT ON THE STREET. SO THAT BECAME A VERY POPULAR VEHICLE, ACROSS THE CITY WANTS PEOPLE WANTING, WANTING THAT CLEANED UP. OKAY, GOING BACK TO CREEKS, ANOTHER ANOTHER CONCERN THAT'S BEEN RAISED TO ME IS. AND I THINK THIS PROBABLY OCCURS MOST EVENINGS AND NIGHT, TIRES DUMPING, WE'VE SEENIRES IN THE CREEK, CAN YOU GUYS SPEAK TO. 
          AND WE'VE GOT YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR INSPECTIONS OF YOUR YOUR BIG MANUFACTURING. AND GARLAND IS GARLAND HAS A NUMBER OF TIRE NOT THAT I HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST THEM, BUT IS THERE CAN YOU SPEAK TO IS THERE ANY, OVERSIGHT? DO YOU. DO WE HAVE ANY WAY OF TRACKING THE DISPOSAL OF TIRES, SIOUX CITY, OR IS IT PRETTY MUCH ON A COMPLAINT DRIVEN BASIS? MICHAEL. IT'S A COMPLAINT DRIVEN BASIS BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHEN PEOPLE ARE DUMPING TIRES IN THE CREEK AND WHEN WE GET THE PHONE CALL THROUGH THE, AGAIN, THE STREET DEPARARTMENT IS WHAT WERE THE ONES WITH THE CREWS THAT GO IN AND PICK UP THE TRASH. BUT I DON'T THINK THEY'RE DIFFERENTIATING TRASH FROM TIRES. THE ONLY THING, AGAIN, THAT THEY DIFFERENTIATE IS THE BRUSH PICKUP, BECAUSE THE BRUSH IS NOT WEIGHED, BUT THE TRASH IS PICKED UP AND DISPOSED OF. AND THAT'S PART OF THE TONNAGE THAT THEY WEIGH. BUT THE BUT THE BRUSH IS NOT. SO IF THEY'RE OUT THERE AFTER A STORM AND THERE'S TIRES, THEY'LL BE PICKING THAT UP TOO. BUT IT GOES INTO A DIFFERENT TRUCK THAN THE BRUSH. 
          OKAY OKAY. AND TELL M ME YOUR NE AGAIN, PLEASE. JAMES. MR. JAMES, YOU MENTIONED THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS WITH OTHER CITIES. IS THAT DO WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH THOSE CITIES? IS THAT A RECIPROCAL AGREEMENT? CAN YOU EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOU SAID WE DO SAMPLING SERVICES FOR YOU. YOU LISTED RICHARDSON AND SEVERAL OTHER CITIES. CAN YOU EXPLAIN JUST BRIEFLY HOW DOES THAT HOW DOES THAT WORK? IS IT A RECIPROCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN US AND THOSE CITIES OR CONTRACT AGREEMENT? CAN YOU JUST BRIEFLY EXPLAIN HOW THAT HOW THAT WORKS? I CAN, GIVE YOU KIND OF AN OVERVIEW OF WHY THAT'S HAPPENIN, AND THEN I CAN GET SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SENT TO YOU. SO THE REASON THAT, RIGHT NOW WE'VE GOT CUSTOMER CITIES AND WE HAVE. WHAT ENDS UP HAPPENING IS THEIR WASTEWATER ENDS UP COMING TO OUR TWO WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS FOR TREATMENT. SO ANYBODY THAT'S DISCHARGING WASTE THAT HAS A PERMIT. SO THESE INDUSTRIES, THESE BUSINESSES, THEY HAVE TO UNDER THE PRETREATMENT RULES, THEY HAVE TO BASICALLY HAVE THE PERMIT. AND BECAUSE OUR PLANTS, THE CITY OF GARLAND'S WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS ARE THE ONES THAT WOULD BE IMPACTED. OUR STAFF ARE INVOLVED WITH OVERSEEING AND INSPECTING THE PERMITTING OF THOSE OF THOSE FACILITIES. I CAN TAKE A LOOK, SIR, AND SEE IF THERE'S SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON WHETHER THERE'S AGREEMENTS OR WHETHER IT'S ALL JUST FALLS UNDER THE WHOLE PRETREATMENT PROGRAM AS A WHOLE. I'M SORRY, I DON'T HAVE THAT ANSWER FOR YOU. 
          NO. THAT'S OKAY. SO AND COULD YOU RESEARCH IF IN FACT, THERE'S A FINDING I THINK CRYSTAL MAY HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL. OKAY COUNCILWOMAN WILLIAMS SO YES, WE HAVE CONTRACTS WITH OUR CUSTOMER CITIES. AND BECAUSE WE HAVE CONTRACTS TO TREAT THEIR WATER IN OUR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS, AS JAMES WAS SAYING, WE'RE REQUIRED. THEY ARE REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR PRETREATMENT PROGRAM AS WELL. OKAY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU CRYSTAL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU JAMES, FOR THAT FOR THAT RESPONSE. THANK YOU MAYOR. VERY GOOD. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? NOPE MR. REX, COUNCIL, I HOPE THIS HAS BEEN INFORMATIVE FOR YOU. AND WHAT I WANT TO TRY TO DO IS TIE THE FUNDING ASPECT TO THIS. YOU ALL ARE AWARE BECAUSE WE'VE HAD RECENT DISCUSSIONS OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF BUDGET YEARS ABOUT OUR STORMWATER UTILITY FUND. SO, PROPERTIES WITHIN THE CITY OF GARLAND OPERATE UNDER THIS UTILITY AND PAY INTO OUR 
          [00:50:05]
STORMWATER FUND AS PART OF A IT'S A UTILITY FEE THAT WE CHARGE. SO, COUNCIL'S DIRECTION HAS BEEN TO TRY TO BRING THAT FEE UP TO A METROPLEX AVERAGE. AND WE HAVE THAT A PHASE IN PLAN FOR THAT, THAT THOSE FUNDS ARE USED TO FUND THE STORMWATER, THE STORMWATER PROGRAM THAT WE HAVE MANY OF THE THINGS THAT WERE TALKED ABOUT TONIGHT GET FUNDED THROUGH THAT MECHANISM. AND SO JUST WANTED TO TRY TO LINK WHAT, WHAT YOU'RE WHAT YOU HEARD TONIGHT IN TERMS OF PROGRAMS THAT, TO THAT FUNDING SOURCE AND ALSO WE'RE OBVIOUSLY IN THE MIDDLE OF BUDGET SEASON AS WELL. 
          AND SO KEEP THAT IN MIND AS WE MOVE FORWARD, THAT IF THERE ARE IF COUNCIL DESIRES TO, YOU KNOW, LOOK AT THE LEVEL OF SERVICE THAT WE PROVIDE WITHIN THE STORMWATER PROGRAM OR TO FUND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AS PART OF THE STORMWATER PROGRAM, THAT'S THE THAT'S GOING TO BE YOUR FUNDING SOURCE FOR HOW TO DO THIS. AND SO OBVIOUSLY IT'S ALWAYS A BALANCING ACT TRYING TO GET THAT LEVEL OF SERVICE RIGHT WITHOUT THE FEE BEING TOO HIGH. AND THAT SORT OF THING. BUT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT CONNECTION BETWEEN THE STORMWATER FEE THAT'S CHARGED TO RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES AND THE PROGRAMS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH IT, ESPECIALLY AS YOU APPROACH BUDGET, SEASON HERE AND HAVE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE DO WITH THOSE FUNDS THAT WE'RE RAISING. I THINK THERE'S BEEN SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT REALLY FOCUSING IT ON, YOU KNOW, DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS, CAPITAL, CAPITAL EXPENSES, INFRASTRUCTURE EXPENSES RELATED TO THE STORATER. FACILITIES, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THAT'S OF COURSE, ONE WAY TO DO IT. THERE'S ALSO, CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE LEVEL OF SERVICE THAT WE'RE PROVIDING YOU KNOW, HOW OFTEN WE CLEAR CREEKS, HOW OFTEN WE WALK CREEKS, ALL OF THOSE THINGS RELATED TO STORMWATER. SO AGAIN, JUST TRYING TO MAKE A CONNECTION THERE TO PLAN TO SEED AS WE APPROACH BUDGET DISCUSSIONS HERE VERY GOOD. I THINK WE'VE CLEARED THE QUEUE. THANK YOU. THAT'S GREAT INFORMATION. I THINK COUNCIL MEMBER OTT AND I ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO CAUGHT THAT. 
          CRYSTAL SAID THEY WERE TRYING TO GET THE DRONE PROGRAM OFF THE GROUND. YES YES, OFF THE GROUND. 
          AFTER GRANT. YEAH, YEAH. SLIPPING DAD JOKES IN THERE ON US. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THAT
