[5B. Presentation of Proclamation recognizing May 22 – 28, 2021 as Safe Boating Week.]

>> MAYOR: THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER SHERRILL FOR DOING THAT. WE ARE GOING TO MOVE TO 5B.

PRESENTATION OF PROCLAMATION RECOGNIZING MAY 22 Ã28, 2021 AS SAFE BOATING WEEK. AND WE HAVE COUNCIL MEMBER BROWN REPRESENTING THE PROCLAMATION.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER: THANK YOU MAYOR.

THE CITY IS PRIORITIZED IN INCLUDING A SAFE COMMUNITY BY CREATING A PROACTIVE CITY CENTERED SERVICE THAT ALLOWS RESIDENTS, BUSINESSES AND GUESTS TO FEEL SAFE AND BE SAFE. STRENGTHENING PUBLIC SAFETY, PUBLIC OUTREACH, EDUCATION AND MUNICATION BY HIGHLIGHTING VARIOUS PUBLIC SAFETY ITEMS OF INTEREST HELPS PROMOTE PRIORITY. THE PURPOSE OF THIS ITEM IS TO PROCLAIM MAY 22 THROUGH 28, 2021 AS SAFE BOATING WEEK IN THE CITY OF ROWLETT. FROM THE SIMPLE BEGINNINGS IN 1949 TO THE MOVEMENT IT IS TODAY, SAFE BOATING WEEK HAS PROMOTED THE SAFE BOATING SAFETY.

THE WHERE IT CAMPAIGN BECAME THE OFFICIAL MOTTO OF NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK AND IS PROMOTED BY OVER 300 ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA.

MAY IS NATIONAL WATER SAFETY MONTH AND THIS PROCLAMATION RECOGNIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER SAFETY AND AWARENESS.

THIS YEAR THE U.S. COAST GUARD AUXILIARY WILL CONTINUE TO EDUCATE THE BOATING COMMUNITY ABOUT LIFE JACKET WEAR AND THE OPTIONS AVAILABLE WHEN IT COMES TO COMFORTABLE AND LIGHTWEIGHT LIFEJACKETS. THIS DESIGNATION HAS BEEN MADE IN RECOGNITION OF THE POPULARITY OF WATER RECREATION IN THE UNITED STATES AND THE ONGOING NEED FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION ON SAFER BOATING PRACTICES.

USCG STATISTICS SHOW THAT DROWNING WAS THE REPORTED CAUSE OF DEATH IN 80 PERCENT OF RECREATIONAL BOATING FATALITIES KID THAT 83 PERCENT OF THOSE WHO DROWNED WERE NOT WEARING LIFEJACKETS. NEW LIFEJACKETS ARE MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE, LIGHTWEIGHT AND STYLISH THAN THE BULKY ORANGE STYLE THAT MOST VOTERS KNOW. THEIR INNOVATIVE OPTIONS SUCH AS INFLATABLE LIFEJACKETS, ALLOWING MOBILITY AND FLEXIBILITY FOR ACTIVITIES LIKE BOATING, FISHING, PADDLING AND HUNTING ARE MUCH COOLER IN WARMER WEATHER.

CONTRIBUTING ACCIDENTS, INJURIES AND DEATHS INCLUDE OPERATOR AND ATTENTION OPERATOR INEXPERIENCE AND PROPER LOOKOUT, EXCESSIVE SPEED AND MACHINERY FAILURE TO NAME THE TOP FIVE. MOST IF NOT ALL OF THESE CAN BE AVOIDED BY EDUCATION AND PARTICIPATION IN VOTER SAFETY COURSES. ROWLETT IS THE CITY ON THE LAKE AND MANY ROWLETT RESIDENTS PARTICIPATE IN WATER RELATED RECREATION ACTIVITIES. WE HAVE PADDLE POINT PARK WHICH HAS BECOME A DESTINATION SPOT FOR KAYAKING AND ATERS WORDS AS S LONG LATE WELL AS CURRENT DEVELOPMENT THAT ARE PROVIDING CURRENT AXIS NEAR AND TO THE LAKE.

IT IS APPROPRIATE FOR ROWLETT TO RECOGNIZE SAFE BOATING WEEK.

I WILL READ THE PROCLAMATION. WHEREAS, RECREATIONAL BOATING CONTINUES TO GROW IN POPULARITY WITH MANY AMERICANS CHOOSING THIS ACTIVITY AS AN IDEAL WAY TO RELAX WITH THEIR FAMILIES AND WHEREAS INCREASING PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN THIS HEALTHY OUTDOOR SPORT HAS EMPHASIZED THE NEED FOR GREATER ATTENTION TO COURTESY AND SAFETY TO ITEMIZED INCIDENTS WHICH OFTEN LEADS TO BOATING MISHAPS AND WHERE IS SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF VOTERS WHO HAVE DROWNED AND HAVE HAD A BETTER CHANCE OF SURVIVING HAD THEY WARNED A LIFE JACKET AND WHEREAS THE U.S. COAST GUARD AUXILIARY FLOTILLA FIVE DASHED IN

[00:15:02]

NOW THEREFORE, I, MARTHA BROWN ON BEHALF OF THE MAYOR AND BEHALF OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO PROCLAIM THE WEEK OF MAY 22-28, 2021 AS SAFE BOATING WEEK. IN THE CITY OF ROWLETT WE URGE ALL RESIDENTS TO PRACTICE SAFE BOATING PROCEDURES AND WHERE IT THIS WEE AND THROUGHOUT THE BOATING SEASON.

>> MAYOR: THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER BROWN.

IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE DO THAT PROCLAMATION EVERY YEAR AND IT

[5C. Presentation of Comprehensive Monthly Financial Report (CMFR) for the period ending March 31, 2021.]

PRESENTATION OF COMPREHENSIVE MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORT (CMFR) FOR THE PERIOD ENDING MARCH 31, 2021. I BELIEVE WE HAVE OUR BUDGET MANAGER ROBERT COHEN WITH US.

>> SPEAKER: THANK YOU.OOD EVENING COUNSEL.

I AM ROBERT COHEN THE CITY OF ROWLETT BUDGET OFFICER TO DELIVER TONIGHT'S FINANCIAL REPORT.

THIS IS FOR THE TIME ENDING MARCH 31 2021 WHICH IS THE SECOND QUARTER OF THE FISCAL YEAR.

WHERE TO TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION THIS REPORT WAS REVIEWED IN A MUCH MORE EXTENSIVE DETAIL WITH THE CITY FINANCE COMMITTEE ON MAY 4. ON A BUDGETARY BASIS THE CITY IS REPORTING REVENUE OF APPROXIMATELY $76 MILLION AS OF THE END OF Q2 EXCEEDING THE FORECAST OF 1.7 MILLION OR TWO.4 PERCENT. THE CITY IS REPORTING EXPENSES OF 58.4 MILLION WHICH IS 2.4 MILLION OR 4 PERCENT BELOW THE FORECAST. PROPERTY TAXES REPRESENT 50 PERCENT OF THE GENERAL FUND REVENUE BUDGET AND ARE COLLECTED MERRILY IN DECEMBER AND JANUARY FOR THE CITY COLLECTED 28.5 MILLION IN GENERAL TAX REVENUE IN THE ECOND ORDER. SALES TAXES ARE COLLECTED BY THE STATE COMPTROLLER AND REPRESENT 20 PERCENT OF GENERAL FUND REVENUES TO THE CITY COLLECTED 3.9 MILLION GROUP Q2 WITH REVENUE EXCEEDING FORECAST BY 519,000 OR MORE THAN 15 PERCENT DRIVEN BY EXTREMELY STRONG MARGINAL RECEIPT.

WE WILL HAVE MORE INFORMATION FROM THE STATE LATER THIS WEEK AND I WILL PROVIDE INFORMATION FROM COUNSEL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BECOMES AVAILABLE. WATER REVENUES REPRESENT ALMOST 55 PERCENT OF THE UTILITY FUND REVENUE BUDGET THROUGH THE SECOND QUARTER THE CITY EARNED $7.8 MILLION IN WATER REVENUE WITH REVENUE EXCEEDING THE FORECAST BY 635 THOUSAND OR 8.8 PERCENT. THIS WAS PRIMARILY DUE TO LOW PRECIPITATION DURING OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER AND INCREASED PUBLIC WATER USAGE DURING THOSE MONTHS.

SEWER REVENUES HAVE HAD OVER 40 PERCENT OF UTILITY FUND REVENUE BUDGET AND ARE TYPICALLY IN LINE WITH WATER REVENUES FOR THE CITY EARNED 6.7 MILLION THROUGH THE SECOND QUARTER IN THE SEWER FEES WITH REVENUE EXCEEDING FORECAST MORE THAN 5.4 PERCENT. OVERALL BUDGET FORECAST GENERAL FUND AND WATER AND SEWER FUND FOR THE GENERAL FUND REVENUE MORE THAN $600,000 MORE THAN THE FORECAST DRIVEN BY STRONG SALES TAX AND STRONG PERMIT REVENUE EXPENSES 1.5 MILLION BELOW FORECAST LARGELY DUE TO A NUMBER OF TIMING ISSUES AND SERVICE EXPENDITURE ACCOUNTS AS WELL AS PERSONAL VACANCIES THAT WERE PUSHING OFF PROJECTS WHICH LEAD TO THE SAVINGS AND THE SUPPLY COUNT AS WELL. WATER AND SEWER FUND REVENUES AND ARE 90,000 MORE THAN FORECASTED PRIMARILY DUE TO STILL DRIVING THOSE AMOUNTS. EXPENSES 594,000 BELOW FORECAST WATER TREATMENT AS WELL AS PERSONAL VACANCIES AND CORRESPONDING REPAIRS TO PERSONNEL THAT ARE VACANT.

WRAPPING IT UP ON THE OTHER FUND THAT WE HAVE ON OUR BUDGETARY BASIS THE DEBT SERVICE DRAINAGE REFUSE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EMPLOYEE HEALTH AND IF IT'S AN GOLF

[00:20:03]

QUESTIONS. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU ROBERT.

COUNSEL, QUESTIONS? THANK YOU FOR THAT COMPREHENSIVE REPORT. ALL RIGHT, WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM

[5D. Update from the City Council and Management: Financial Position, Major Projects, Operational Issues, Upcoming Dates of Interest and Items of Community Interest. ]

ALL RIGHT! YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO REPORT WHAT WE DID. SO, WE DON'T HAVE THE ABSOLUTE FINAL NUMBERS THAT WE COLLECTED 20,000 POUNDS PAPER WHICH IS 10 TONS BY THE WAY AND PROBABLY SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 85 AND 40,000 TONS OF ELECTRONICS. I WANT TO THANK THE PUBLIC FOR SUCH STRONG WORD IN COMING OUT. THAT ALL OF THAT OUT OF OUR LANDFILL AND ENABLES US TO RECYCLE IT.

IT WAS PROBABLY THE BEST TURNOUT THAT WE HAVE EVER HAD.

I THINK THAT THERE WAS SOME PENT-UP DEMAND FOR THAT.

BE TOO THINK SO. WE ALSO COUNTED THE NUMBER OF CARS THAT CAME THROUGH WHICH WE HAVE NOT DONE THAT BEFORE AND

WE HAD 550 CARS COME THROUGH. >> MAYOR: ALL OF THAT STUFF COULD HAVE BEEN AT CURBSIDE OR FCC PICKUP AND WERE GLAD IT WASN'T. ABSOLUTELY BRIAN? WE ARE GLAD. THAT'S VERY HELPFUL.

ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE?

>> COUNCIL MEMBER: THE CITY ACADEMY IS COMING, I THINK IT STARTS JUNE 3RD AND IT IS A 13 WEEK COURSE AND THE DEADLINE TO APPLY IS MAY 26 AND YOU CAN FILL OUT AN APPLICATION ON

ROWLETT.COM. >> MAYOR: WE ARE EXCITED THAT IT WE WILL BE BACK IN PERSON. ANYTHING ELSE?

BROWNIE? >> COUNCIL MEMBER: THE CITIZEN POLICE ACADEMY WILL START IN AUGUST SO GET PREPARED FOR THAT

ONE, TO. >> MAYOR: OKAY.

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT WE WILL HAVE 450 PEOPLE FROM TEXAS AND SURROUNDING STATES VISITING OUR FINE CITY THIS WEEKEND FOR A FOUR DAY PICKLE BALL TOURNAMENT 450 PEOPLE PLAYERS WILL BE COMING IN ALONG WITH THEIR GUESTS AND WILL BE PLAYING OUT THERE AT THE PARK WEATHER PERMITTING OTHERWISE IT WILL HAVE TO BE MOVED INDOORS. IF YOU CAN COME OUT AND SEE IT IT'S A GOOD THING TO COME AND SEE.

ALL RIGHT. WE WILL MOVE ON NOW TO OUR CITIZENS INPUT. THIS IS THE PART OF THE MEETING WHERE CITIZENS CAN PROVIDE COMMENTS ON 80 ITEM BY SENDING AN EMAIL TO CITIZENINPUT@ROWLETT.COM BY 3:30 P.M. THE DAY OF THE MEETING. PLEASE SPECIFICALLY STATE WHETHER YOUR COMMENT IS REGARDING A SPECIFIC CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA ITEM OR A GENERAL COMMENT TO THE CITY OUNCIL. YOUR COMMENT WILL BE READ INTO THE RECORD DURING THE

[7. CONSENT AGENDA]

CONSIDER APPROVING THE MINUTES. CONSIDER?ACTION TO?APPROVE?MINUTES FROM THE?FOLLOWING CITY COUNCIL MEETING(S):? MAY 4, 2021 REGULAR MEETING, MAY 6, 2021 SPECIAL MEETING AND MAY 11, 2021 SPECIAL MEETING. AND 7B. CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ANNUAL MAINTENANCE PAYMENTS TO A SOFTWARE VENDOR.

I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. COUNCIL MEMBER GRUBISICH?

>> COUNCIL MEMBER: I MOVED TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA.> MAYOR: DO I HAVE A SECOND? I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER GRUBISICH AND A SECOND BY COUNCIL WOMAN BELL.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR RAISE YOUR HAND.

YOU CAN VOTE AGAINST. THAT PASSES 7-0.

[7C. Consider a resolution agreeing to terms of an agreement with Dallas County.]

I DON'T SEE ANYONE NEEDING A PRESENTATION.

[00:25:01]

WE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT IN THE LAST MEETING AND THIS AGREEMENT IT FEELS LIKE IT IS A LITTLE MORE, IT MAKES US COMMIT MORE THAN I THOUGHT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT IN THE LAST MEETING IN THAT WE ARE NOT JUST SUBMITTING A PLAN WE MUST COMMIT TO THE PLAN AND IF WE DON'T TAKE OVER THE ADMINISTRATION OF A SMALL WATERSHED DAM THEY CAN REFUSE FUNDS FOR US FOR FUTURE PROJECTS.

SO, I THINK THAT IS STRONGER LANGUAGE THAN WE REALLY DISCUSSED IN THE LAST MEETING. I FEEL LIKE WE ARE IN A NO-WIN SITUATION BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS AWARE THAT THAT LANGUAGE IS IN THERE AND THERE IS ANY ROOM FOR A DISCUSSION OR IF WE HAVE EXHAUSTED ALL THE NEGOTIATION I AM LOOKING AT OUR CITY ATTORNEY.

>> SPEAKER: I'M LOOKING AT THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR.

THE LANGUAGE THAT IS IN THERE I AGREE WITH YOU IT IS RATHER TOUGH. AS I UNDERSTAND IT, DALLAS COUNTY IS OFFERING THIS TO US ON A TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT BASIS.

WE ACCEPT THE OBLIGATION TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY OVER THIS CONSERVATION OF DAMS AND LAKES OR FOR THE PARTICIPATORY COUNTY

PARTICIPATION PROJECTS. >> COUNCIL MEMBER: COUNSEL WHAT I WANTED TO REMIND YOU IS THAT OUR STRATEGY WOULD BE TOO WORK WITH, IF YOU REMEMBER THAT BOTH OF THESE ARE OUTSIDE THE FIFTH YEAR WINDOW AND WE WOULD WORK WITH EITHER THE PROPERTY OWNERS YOU'RE IN THE CASE OF THE EXTREME NORTH END OF THE CITY WITH MULTIPLE OTHER CITIES LIKE GARLAND ON IT AND TO TRY TO REMOVE OUR RESPONSIBILITY IN THAT ULTIMATELY TO DO THAT.

THAT MAY TAKE A LITTLE TIME. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT GARY HAS DONE IN A PREVIOUS JOB. THEY DID NOT CONSISTENTLY OFF THE BOARD ONCE THE ORIGINAL 50 YEAR AGREEMENT EXPIRED.

ALTHOUGH I UNDERSTAND AND I GET EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IT IS A TOUGH PILL TO SWALLOW. AT STAKE IS SIX TO $7 MILLION.

>> MAYOR: I GUESS WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY EVEN MORE FIRMLY THAN OUR LAST DISCUSSION IS WE HAVE GOT TO SPEND THE MONEY TO GET A THIRD PARTY TO ANALYZE THE CONDITION OF THOSE DAMS. AND, MAKE SURE THAT WE UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING THAT COULD BE A FINANCIAL COMMITMENT SO WE CAN INCORPORATE THAT INTO THE PLAN FOR DALLAS COUNTY TO GET THAT UP TO WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE. I THINK THAT IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT WITH THIS DIFFICULT LANGUAGE IN THE CONTRACT.

>> SPEAKER: MAYOR, I BELIEVE THAT IS THE PLAN.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER: SO BEFORE WE TAKE THE KEYS TO IT WE WILL HAVE A LAN THAT SAYS THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO DO TO TAKE IT OVER OR DALLAS COUNTY NEEDS TO DO AND WE WILL HAVE AN ENGINEERING STUDY SHOW IF THERE ARE DEFICIENCIES IN THE DAM THE COUNTY WILL GET THAT BEFORE WE TAKE IT OVER?

>> MAYOR: WE HAVE TO DEVELOP A PLAN AND ISSUE THE PLAN AND WE ARE ABSOLUTELY TELLING CITY STAFF THAT PLAN NEEDS TO INCLUDE EATING THE DAMS UP TO THE CONDITION THAT THEY NEED TO

BE IN BEFORE WE TAKE IT OVER. >> COUNCIL MEMBER: YES, THANK

YOU. >> MAYOR: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? MOTION?

COUNCIL MEMBER GRUBISICH? >> COUNCIL MEMBER: I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE HAVE PROVE A RESOLUTION AGREEING TO THE TERMS OF AGREEMENT WITH DALLAS COUNTY.

>> MAYOR: DOVE A SECOND? A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER SHERRILL ANY DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND HERE THAT ITEM PASSES 7-0.

THANK YOU. WE WILL NEXT MOVE TO THE

[8E. Discuss and take action based on recommendation by Court Governance Committee for the appointment of Rajish K. Jose as an Associate Judge.]

[00:30:02]

IS THIS COUNCIL WOMAN BROWN OR JUDGE, WHO IT IS GOING TO TAKE

IT? >> COUNCIL MEMBER: I WILL TAKE IT TO START. AS PART OF AN OVERALL STRATEGIC PRIORITY TO MAINTAIN A SAFE COMMUNITY THE CITY COUNCIL HAS ADOPTED A GOAL TO ADMINISTER THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO DISCUSS THE APPOINTMENT OF A MUNICIPAL JUDGE TO THE COURT. AND THE CITY COUNCIL APPOINTS ASSOCIATE TO ADMINISTER AND ASSOCIATE JUDGES.

THE ASSOCIATE JUDGE WILL BE OUT ON AND LEAVE OF ABSENCE WHICH INCLUDES AN ASSOCIATE JUDGE TO BE APPOINTED IN THE MEANTIME.

THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE ALONG WITH THE JUDGE RECOMMENDS THE APPOINTMENT OF RAJISH K. JOSE AS A SUBSTITUTE JUDGE AND SERVE AS ABSENCE, FAMILY DEATH, CONTINUING LEGAL OR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR ANY OTHER REASON PURSUANT TO TEXAS GOVERNOR CODE SECTION 3.0 08B. RAJISH K. JOSE HAS BEEN A JUDGE SINCE 2004 AND HAS EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE OF THIS MATTER THAT MEETS THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR JUDGE.

I BELIEVE, JUDGE LISTON WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE SOME COMMENTS?

>> SPEAKER: I AM THRILLED TO BRING JUDGE RAJISH K. JOSE IF YOU APPROVE HIM TO THE BOARD TO OUR TEAM.

HE DOES HAVE A DEPTH OF EXPERIENCE.

I TALKED TO HIM ABOUT WHAT WE REALLY NEED AND WE DO HAVE A SITUATION WITH JUDGE BADEN AND ALSO, SINCE I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THE TEXAS MUNICIPAL COURT I HAVE BEEN CALLED A LOT TO HAVE MEETINGS ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT TO HAVE SENATORS WITH REPRESENTATIVES AND CHIEFS OF STAFF BEING CALLED TO AUSTIN WITH JUST A FEW DAYS NOTICE. SO, WE DO HAVE A NEED FOR THE SUBSTITUTE TO COME IN AND HELP. WHAT I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU WHEN I TALK TO RAJISH K. JOSE EARLIER I TALKED TO HIM ABOUT HEAVY LIFTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT? YOU MIGHT BE CALLED ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK YOU MIGHT BE CALLED TWICE A NIGHT AND HE TOLD ME THAT HE IS USED TO THAT BECAUSE HIS WIFE IS A DOCTOR FOR. HE HAS SERVED MANY YEARS BY HER SIDE WITH YOUR CALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT LIKE THIS.

I LOVED HEARING THAT FROM HIM. IT WILL BE A FAMILY EFFORT ON

THIS JUDICIAL FRONT AS WELL. >> MAYOR: JUDGE LISTON I FIND IT VERY INTERESTING AS YOU TALK ABOUT BEING INTERRUPTED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT YOU ARE STILL SMILING THROUGH IT ALL AND YOU HAVE HAD MANY YEARS WHERE YOU GET CALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT ALONG WITH YOUR ASSOCIATE JUDGES.

>> SPEAKER: THAT IS SO TRUE. >> MAYOR: COUNCIL ANY

QUESTIONS? >> SPEAKER: I KNOW THAT MR. RAJISH K. JOSE WOULD LIKE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR HIM? RAJISH K. JOSE TELL US ABOUT

YOURSELF. >> SPEAKER: SURE.

I WAS GOING TO WAIT FOR QUESTIONS.

CAN EVERYONE HEAR ME OKAY >>> I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY

MICROPHONE IS IN GREAT. >> MAYOR: IS SOUNDS HOLLOW BUT

WE CAN HEAR YOU. >> SPEAKER: I'M SORRY.

IT'S BEEN A DREAM OF MINE TO EXPAND MY LEGAL CAREER AND TO GIVE BACK. I HAVE BEEN IN PRIVATE PRACTICE FOR 17 YEARS AND I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO FIND SOMETHING TO DO WHERE I CAN SERVE THE COMMUNITY, SERVE MY FELLOW TEXANS AND EXPAND MY KNOWLEDGE OF THE LAW AND USE IT TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY. I AM EXCITED THAT JUDGE LISTON WAS GIVEN ME THE OPPORTUNITY. HOW MAY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY AND I THANK HER FOR THINKING OF ME AND RECOMMENDING ME.

I HOPE THAT THE CITY WILL APPROVE ME AND I AM READY TO START ANXIOUSLY READY TO START AND I HOPE ALL MY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WITH CRIMINAL LAW, TRIALS MOTIONS, WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE THAT I MIGHT BE DOING I HOPE THAT IS USEFUL TO THE CITY SO I CAN DO MY JOB TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY.

>> SPEAKER: THOSE ARE NICE COMMENTS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND I CAN TELL YOU MY EXPERIENCE OF RAJISH K. JOSE AND HIS PRACTICE IS THAT HE IS FIRST RATE AND HE COMES HIGHLY

[00:35:03]

RECOMMENDATION. >> COUNCIL MEMBER: THANK YOU JUDGE LISTON AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

>> MAYOR: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE HAVE QUESTIONS? DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION OR ARE YOU GIVING A MOTION?

GO AHEAD. >> COUNCIL MEMBER: I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT THE COURT GOVERNANCE RECOMMENDATION.

>> MAYOR: DO WE HAVE A SECOND? COUNCIL MEMBER GRUBISICH? FURTHER DISCUSSION I SEE NONE CALL A VOTE ALL THOSE IN FAVOR RAISE YOUR HAND AND THAT ITEM PASSES 7-0.

WELCOME TO OUR FINE CITY. WE LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING TO

KNOW YOU BETTER. >> SPEAKER: THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY.

[8A. Consider action to approve a resolution approving a development agreement with Warner Land Advisors, L.P. (Warner Land), regarding the construction of an EMS/Fire Facility and the dedication of a 1.5-acre tract of land within the Trails at Cottonwood Creek Development generally located at the northeast corner of Stonewall and Vinson Road.]

>> MAYOR: THANK YOU. THANK YOU JUDGE LISTON GEARED WE ARE GOING TO MOVE TO ITEM 8A.

WHO IS DOING THE PRESENTATION. IS IT YOU MUNAL?

>> SPEAKER: YES IT IS.8A WE WILL DO SEPARATELY PAY THE OTHER THREE I WOULD LIKE TO DO ONE PRESENTATION AND WOULD ACT

ON THEM INDIVIDUALLY. >> MAYOR: I'M GOING TO READ 8A AND WE WILL READ THE OTHER ONES TOGETHER.

WHAT YOU JUST SAID. >> SPEAKER: YES PLEASE.

>> MAYOR: ITEM 8 A CONSIDER ACTION TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION APPROVING A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH WARNER LAND ADVISORS, L.P. (WARNER LAND), REGARDING THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN EMS/FIRE FACILITY AND THE DEDICATION OF A 1.5-ACRE TRACT OF LAND WITHIN THE TRAILS AT COTTONWOOD CREEK DEVELOPMENT GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF STONEWALL AND VINSON ROAD. MISS MULLAH DAD?

>> SPEAKER: GOOD EVENING CITY COUNCIL. WOULD YOU PLEASE ASSIST ME WITH THE PRESENTATION? COUNCIL AND OF COURSE OUR VIEWING AUDIENCE WE HAVE A SUB AGREEMENT OR A DEVELOPED AGREEMENT FOR EMS AT THE TRAILS OF COTTONWOOD CREEK. FROM A HISTORICAL STANDPOINT OVER A INCEPTION OF THE TRAIL THE BONDING REEMENT AND ASSOCIATED WITH THE PID LANGUAGE THAT WE HAD CAPTURED AND MEMORIALIZED ON THE AGREEMENT IT WAS REALIZED RATHER QUICKLY THAT AFTER THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FIRST PHASE OF THE TRAIL AT COTTONWOOD CREEK WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 194 LOCKS THERE WOULD BE THE NEED TO HAVE A FIRST RESPONDENT COVERAGE COMPONENT WITHIN THE AREA.

THEREFORE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY HAS BEEN PAIRED FOR ACTION IN THE AGREEMENT MEMORIALIZES THE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CITY. IN YOUR PACKET THERE IS ALSO, FAR MORE SIMPLIFIED IN TERMS OF THE MATRIX.

IT IS A RESPONSIBILITY MATRIX THAT IDENTIFIES THE ELEMENT OF THE PROJECT THAT WOULD COME FROM THE DEVELOPER AND THEN FROM THE CITY. I WANTED TO CAPTURE SOME OF THE ELEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE AGREEMENT AND DISCUSS THOSE AS IT RELATES TO THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DEVELOPER. ONE IS THAT THEY WOULD CONSTRUCT THE FACILITY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DESIGN STANDARDS THAT WE HAD ADOPTED AS PART OF THE DESIGN AGREEMENT AND THAT THE CITY CONSTRUCTION PLAN WOULD OBVIOUSLY HAVE TO BE APPROVED THROUGH THE REGULAR DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION. THE AGREEMENT WAS VERY CLEAR IN THAT THE DEVELOPER WOULD PROVIDE FUNDS OF TWO $850,000 AS THE DEVELOPMENT CONTRIBUTION FOR THE COMPLETION OF THE SCOPE OF WORK AND THAT THEY WOULD CONVEY ONEANDAHALF ACRE TRACT OF LAND ON OR BEFORE THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE CONSTRUCTION. THE REASON THAT WE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION WE BEING THE CITY COLLECTIVELY OF COURSE NEIL AND HIS TEAM THE NEED FOR AN EMS FACILITY WAS NECESSARY WAS BECAUSE OF CURRENT DATA AND OF COURSE THIS DEVELOPMENT AND SELF. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CURRENTLY RESPONSE TO LESS THAN 25 EMERGENCY CALLS WITHIN THIS AREA. THAT WOULD EVENTUALLY BE POPULATED AT BUILDOUT WITH 765 UNIT.

THIS ADDITIONAL AGREEMENT WOULD RESULT IN ADDITIONAL RESPONSES.

70 PERCENT OF ALL FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLS ARE AMBULANCE CALLS WHICH DOES RESULT TO BE A BASIS OF EXTRAPOLATION OF CALLS WITHIN THE AREA SUCH AS WATERVIEW.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONSE TO OVER 125 CALLS ANNUALLY WITHIN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. MORE SPECIFICALLY THE PROPOSED

[00:40:02]

I KNOW THIS IS HARD TO READ. THIS IS IN YOUR PACKET AS WELL.

THIS IS THE RESPONSIBILITY MATRIX THAT I WAS REFERRING TO AND AS YOU CAN SEE IT CLEARLY ARTICULATES THE CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DEVELOPER AND THE CITY.

THE PROPOSED SITE IN TERMS OF A SITE PLAN YOU CAN SEE THE CONFIGURATION THERE TO THE LEFT OF THE IMAGE TO THE LEFT IS A SITE PLAN AND THE IMAGE TO THE RIGHT IS THE FULL PLAN AND IT IDENTIFIES THE BAYS AND CIRCULATION PATTERN AND IDENTIFIES THE PARKING ALLOCATION WITH THE INGRESS AND EGRESS TO THE SITE. AND ELEVATION OF THIS FACILITY WOULD BE IN CONCERT WITH A BUNGALOW STYLE DESIGN AND THAT IS IN KEEPING WITH TRYING TO KEEP THE RESIDENTIAL LOOK AND FEEL TO THE AREA. IN TERMS OF LOCATION THE TRAILS AT COTTONWOOD CREEK CONCEPT PLAN IS LOCATED ON THE SCREEN.

AS YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE A NUMBER OF LOTS.

THE AREA FOR THE FIRE EMS FACILITY IS AT THE CORNER OF STONE WELL AND VINCENT ROAD TO THE CITY AND THE DEVELOPER HAVE TALKED AT LENGTH AND DETERMINED THIS WOULD BE THE IDEAL LOCATION FOR THAT FACILITY. IT IS OUR RECOMMENDATION THAT THE PROPOSED AGREEMENT BE APPROVED.

I DO WANT TO ADD THAT THE EXPERTS ARE AT THE TABLE AND OF COURSE HAS THE CONSULTANT PRESENT THAT WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OR PROPOSAL ITSELF AND I CAN ANSWER ANY ELEMENT AGREEMENT QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. THANK YOU.

>> MAYOR: THANK YOU VERY MUCH MUNAL.

QUESTIONS COUNSEL? I DON'T KNOW WHY I HAVE

FEEDBACK, SORRY. >> COUNCIL MEMBER: WHEN DID YOU PROPOSE THAT THIS WOULD BE BUILT AND WHEN DOES IT FIT INTO THE OVERALL PROJECT IN TERMS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TRAILS AT COTTONWOOD? DID I MISS THAT?

>> SPEAKER: COUNCILMAN THE INTENT IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS INSTALLED POST THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE FIRST PHASE IS WHEN IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT THE EMS FACILITY WILL GO VERTICAL. INFRASTRUCTURE INSTALLATION WILL OCCUR LIKELY DURING THE SINGLE PHASE AND POST PHASE ONE

DEVELOPMENT. >> COUNCIL MEMBER: WE ARE

LOOKING AT 2022. >>> 2023?

>> SPEAKER: I WAS GOING TO SAY IT WAS IN THE PRESENTATION

EARLIER BUT ISN'T IT 2024? >> SPEAKER: THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING. ERNIE OR TIM IS THAT CORRECT?

>> SPEAKER: THAT IS CORRECT. >> COUNCIL MEMBER: I WAS CURIOUS IN TERMS OF STAFFING WHICH WE WILL TALK ABOUT IN THE FUTURE BUT HOW POSITIVE ARE WE KNOWING THAT HOPEFULLY THINGS WILL STABILIZE BY 2024 THAT THE 850 WILL COVER THE PART THAT IS RESPONSIBLE BY THE DEVELOPER? IN TERMS OF INFLATION AND POSSIBLE GROWTH AND EVERYTHING THAT IT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW?

>> SPEAKER: AGAIN AT THIS TIME IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING PER THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT THAT IS THE ON THE DEVELOPMENT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FLOAT IS IF ANY THAT HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE ASSESSMENT. TIM, WOULD YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW

THAT? >> SPEAKER: CURRENTLY WE HAVE THAT INFORMATION AND WE WILL LOOK AT IT AND SEE.

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? >> MAYOR: WHO ARE YOU ASKING

THE QUESTION OF? >> COUNCIL MEMBER: I THINK HE

[00:45:04]

WAS ASKING GARY IF GARY WAS ON. >> SPEAKER: GARY FITZPATRICK,

THERE HE IS. >> MAYOR: YOU ARE ON MUTE.

YOU ARE ON MUTE. TRY AGAIN.

DID YOU CONNECT TO YOUR AUDIO? WHEN YOU GOT ON THE ZOOM?

>> MAYOR: WHAT IS THE QUESTION? >> COUNCIL MEMBER: ANYWAY, THE REASON I ASK IS WE HAVE WORKED REALLY HARD TO GET THIS DEVELOPMENT THROUGH AND GET THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT DONE. IT IS VERY GENEROUS OF THE DEVELOPER TO BE PUTTING IN THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY AND WHAT I DON'T WANT TO SEE IS WHEN WE ARE FOUR YEARS, TWO YEARS OUT FROM CONSTRUCTION AND IF THERE IS NOT ENOUGH CONTINGENCY BUILT IN THERE'S NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO COMPLETE IT.

I WAS JUST CURIOUS WHAT THE BUILD IN WAS FOR THAT COST TO SEE HOW MUCH. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE AN ESTIMATED COST OF WHAT IT WOULD BE AS AN IMPACT TO US AND WE KNOW WHAT THE STAFFING LEVEL WILL BE IN THE EQUIPMENT LEVEL WILL BE.

I DON'T WANT TO GET TO THE END OF THE ROAD AND THEN WE FIND OUT WE ARE SHORT $100,000 OR MORE IN COMPLETING THE BUILDING BECAUSE THIS COST HAS SKYROCKETED.

WE ALL HOPE THAT THINGS WILL ADJUST BY THEN BUT RIGHT NOW IN TODAY'S DOLLARS WE DON'T KNOW BECAUSE PRICES ARE CHANGING EVERY 30 DAYS OR 15 DAYS. I WAS CURIOUS IF THE EXPERTS BELIEVE THAT FOR $850,000 WE CAN GET THIS BUILDING BUILT BASED ON WHAT IS IN THIS MATRIX.

THAT IS THE QUESTION. >> SPEAKER: IF I MAY INTERJECT COUNCIL MEMBER GRUBISICH, WHEN WE MET WITH THE DEVELOPER WHEN THE SUBCOMMITTEE MET WITH THE DEVELOPER TO IDENTIFY WHAT THE COST WOULD BE A WERE BASED ON FIRE STATION TO THAT IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION HERE THOSE COSTS WERE TAKEN FROM THOSE ESTIMATES TO DETERMINE WHAT THAT WOULD BE.

THERE IS AN INCREASE IN COST AND ABSOLUTELY THAT COULD BE AN OBSTACLE BUT FROM WHAT WE UNDERSTAND THIS FAR IS THAT THIS SHOULD BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH WHAT WE AIMED AND SHOT FOUR. GIVEN THE PID DEVELOPMENT THERE ARE SOME TIMING PARAMETERS THAT THEY WILL BE TIED TO SO I ANTICIPATE THAT THIS SHOULDN'T BE A SLIPPAGE.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER: I WOULD ADD TO THE COMMENT, I HAVE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS WITH NEIL ON THIS AND I CREAM AGREE WITH MUNAL ON THE CURRENT DATA. WE KNOW THAT WE ARE IN A PARTICULARLY HOT MARKET IN THE THING IS THERE IS A THRESHOLD HERE IN THE TERMS OF BUILDING. IF THEY GET IT DONE FASTER THAT COULD LOWER THE RISK BUT UNTIL THEY HIT THE THRESHOLD THE STATION WILL BE BUILT. IT IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR THEM TO THIS AND THEIR COMMITMENT TO IT NOW BUT NONE OF US KNOW WHEN IT WOULD BE BUILT, ULTIMATELY. ALL WE CAN DO IS PROJECT OR PREDICT. THE EXPOSURE IT IS GOING TO BE THERE REGARDLESS. IT COULD BE THREE OR FOUR YEARS DOWN THE ROAD AND NOT TWO OR THREE.

>> MAYOR: THE PRICES COULD COME BACK DOWN.

>> SPEAKER: THAT'S ALL I WAS LOOKING FOR WAS THE ANALYSIS WHEN WE HAD THE COMPREHENSION YOU WERE AWARE OF THEM MOVING

FORWARD SO THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: ON THE SAME VEIN I GET CONFUSED ON CONSTRUCTION COST VERSES STATION WE JUST BUILT IN THE STATION WE WERE TALKING ABOUT ABOUT AT SAPPHIRE BAY AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS IN THE ECONOMY I'D DON'T UNDERSTAND THE PRICE DIFFERENTIAL I KNOW IT'S NOT JUST THE SIZE. PER SQUARE FOOT COST OF THIS VERSES PER SQUARE FOOT COST OF STATION TO VERSES PER SQUARE FOOT COST OF WHAT WE WERE PROPOSING AT SAPPHIRE BAY IS

SIMILAR? >> SPEAKER: IT'S A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT WANT THE FAR BAY WILL BE MORE LIKE STATION NUMBER 2. WITH THIS UNIT IN PARTICULAR S THEY DO HAVE THE DEVELOP GROUP BUILD IT AND IT IS SMALLER AND THAT OBVIOUSLY HAS AN IMPACT. THE OTHER THING WITH FIRE STATION NUMBER 2 WE BUILT IN THAT SOLID WALL FOR AN EEOC.

SO, THERE WERE SOME THINGS THAT WERE PUT INTO FIRE STATION

[00:50:03]

AND I THINK TIM CAN CORRECT ME BUT I BELIEVE IT IS TWO DAYS, THIS NEWS STATION? BERNIE OR TIM?

>> SPEAKER: THAT'S CORRECT JUST TWO BAYS.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER: SO IN FIRE STATION NUMBER 2 HELPED ME OUT WITH THAT WAS THAT THREE OR FOUR?

>> SPEAKER: FOR BAYS. >> COUNCIL MEMBER: THE OTHER THING IS YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE YOUR STAFF AND WE HEARD OUR CONSULTANTS SAY EARLIER TONIGHT THAT THEY WOULD WANT TO START WITH TWO PER SHIFT AND THEN ONLY GROW TO 3.

>> MAYOR: I'M JUST TALKING ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION COST.

THIS IS 6500 SQUARE FEET, WHAT IS FIRE STATION NUMBER 2 AND WHAT IS THE SAPPHIRE BAY PROPOSED SQUARE FOOTAGE DOES ANYONE KNOW YOU MET ONE OF YOU ASSISTANT CHIEFS PROBABLY HAVE

THAT THERE. >> SPEAKER: I DON'T HAVE ALL THREE STATIONS SQUARE FOOTAGE IN FRONT OF ME, I AM SORRY.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER: I THINK THAT WHEN THAT DID IS NOT ON TONIGHT AND I DON'T KNOW IF JERRY WAS ABLE TO FIX HIS MICROPHONE.

RE YOU STILL BACK ON? OKAY.

I DON'T THINK WE CAN ANSWER YOU THAT MAYOR.

>> MAYOR: I THINK IT'S AN IMPORTANT QUESTION TO GET ANSWERED IF YOU CAN HEAR THAT OUT.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE COST DIFFERENTIAL.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS IS THE DEVELOPER'S CONTRIBUTION AND

THAT IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT'S RIGHT. I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION IN REGARDS TO THE GENERATOR. IF YOU LOOK AT THE PACKET, I HAVE TO OPEN IT BACK UP. IT TALKS ABOUT THE CITY TALKING ABOUT THE CHART IN THE RECOMMENDED ACTION IS MY PAGE 356/911 PACKET PAGES. IT SAYS THE CITY WILL NEED TO BUDGET FOR THE NEED FOR THE FIRE FACILITY LARGE PURCHASE ITEMS SUCH AS GENERATOR AND COMPRESSOR ARE OFTEN INCLUDED IN CONSTRUCTION COST. BUT THEN WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE CHART RIGHT BELOW IT, THE GENERATOR IS IN OUR COST NOT IN THE CONSTRUCTION COST AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE MATRIX OF WHO IS SHARING WHAT COST THE GENERATOR IS IN OUR COST NOT THE CONSTRUCTION COST AND I AM CONFUSED BY THAT STATEMENT.

PAGE 356 RIGHT ABOVE RECOMMENDED ACTION RIGHT ABOVE THE CHART THAT SHOWS $385 WORTH OF COST.

>> SPEAKER: CORRECT. >> MAYOR: WHO IS SPEAKING? BRIAN YOUR MIC IS NOT ON.> COUNCIL MEMBER: I WAS TRYING TO

FIND PAGE 356. >> MAYOR: IS RIGHT ABOVE THE CHART OF $480,000. RIGHT ABOVE THAT CHART.

>> SPEAKER: PAGE 3 365. >> MAYOR: THE PARAGRAPH RIGHT ABOVE IT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING

ON WITH THE GENERATOR. >> COUNCIL MEMBER: CAN WE GO UP TO RECEIVE THE COMET IN WHICH THE MAYOR WAS MENTIONING?

THE PARAGRAPH? >> MAYOR: RIGHT THERE PER THE CITY WILL NEED TO BUDGET LARGER ITEMS SUCH AS THE GENERATOR ARE INCLUDED IN CONSTRUCTION COST YET THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE CONSTRUCTION COST IN THIS CHART NOR THE RESPONSIBLE,

SHARED RESPONSIBILITY CHART. >> SPEAKER: I'M SORRY I GOT KICKED OFF FOR A SECOND, WAS THE QUESTION TO ME?

>> COUNCIL MEMBER: I THINK THE QUESTION IS TO WHOEVER CAN ANSWER THAT. TYPICALLY IT CAN BE AND IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF A BRAND-NEW STATION AND NORMALLY WOULD BE.

I CANNOT TELL YOU WHY IT WAS KEPT ON THE FFE AND NOT PART OF THE CONSTRUCTION PRICE BUT GENERALLY IT IS.

>> MAYOR: IF YOU GO TO THE MATRIX WHATEVER EXHIBIT THAT IS IT SHOWS CITY RESPONSIBILITY AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER: WHETHER WE BUY IT AT THE TIME WE CONSTRUCTED OR WHATEVER WE DO IT SHOULD BE PUT IN AT THE SAME TIME AND BECAUSE OF THE WAY IT IS LISTED THAT WILL BE OUR COST, BOTTOM LINE. THE ONE WHY?

>> MAYOR: WE JUST GOT THROUGH SAYING IT WAS CONSTRUCTION COST

[00:55:07]

>> COUNCIL MEMBER: I THINK GENERALLY WHEN YOU PUT IT IN IT IS CONSTRUCTION RESPONSIBILITY BUT THEY HAVE DELINEATED THAT

AS OUR RESPONSIBILITY.>> MAYOR: SO THE STATEMENT THAT THE GENERATOR R IS INCLUDED IN CONSTRUCTION COST IS AN INACCURATE STATEMENT OR WHAT HAVE WE NOT NEGOTIATED THE COST

THAT WE ARE BEARING CORRECTLY? >> COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE. THEY HAVE CAPPED OUT THEIR COMMITMENT TO THIS AT $850,000 AND EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON THIS OTHER LIST IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY.

>> MAYOR: I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY HAVE CAPPED OUT AT $850,000 AND IT COMES OUT UNDER THAT END GENERATORS ARE USUALLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION COST TO THE MAXIMUM OF THEIR CONTRIBUTION.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER: MUNAL CAN YOU HELP WITH THE QUESTION, IS THE $850,000 THERE FIXED RESPONSIBILITY?

>> SPEAKER: CORRECT BRIAN. THE INTENT OF THAT SENTENCE PERHAPS WE SHOULD HAVE, NEIL AND I SHOULD HAVE FINE-TUNED THAT TO SAY REGARDLESS, IF WE HAVE BUILT FACILITY THIS WOULD BE THE COST BEARING AS IT RELATES TO THE ITEMS ASSOCIATED WITH IT.N TERMS OF THE DEVELOPMENT HEALTH, IT IS BASED ON THE DISCUSSIONS THAT THE TEAM HAD HAD WITH THE DEVELOPER BASED ON THE ECONOMIES TO SCALE AND THE MATERIALS THAT WOULD WORK IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS DEVELOPMENT.

IT WAS DETERMINED THAT AT A FUTURE DATE THOSE OTHER ELEMENTS SUCH AS A GENERATOR WOULD BE THE THESE RESPONSIBILITY. I THINK THAT WAS THE INTENT OF THE STATEMENT SAYING THESE ARE THE ELEMENTS THAT ARE NECESSARY AND PART OF A FACILITY AT THIS SCALE.

>> MAYOR: OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS COUNSEL?

>> COUNCIL MEMBER: I WOULD LIKE CLARIFICATION ON THAT.

SO, 850,000 IS A NEXT CONTRIBUTION BY THE DEVELOPER AND IF IT COSTS LESS THAN THE 850,000 TO BUILD THE STATION THEN WHATEVER IS LEFT OF THAT 850,000 CAN BE APPLIED TO THE FFE? I GUESS I AM JUST TRYING TO DETERMINE, CAN WE COUNT ON THAT FULL 850,000 TO APPLY TO THE OUTFITTING OF THAT STATION WERE THE BUILDING OF IT?

I AM SEEING A HEAD NOD. >> SPEAKER: YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER IF I COULD JUMP IN, THAT IS THE INTENT.

IT IS A FIXED AMOUNT IF THERE ARE ADDITIONAL EFFICIENCIES IN THE ECONOMY AND IN THE SCALE OF DELIVERING THE BUILDING IT WOULD BE APPLIED ELSEWHERE. IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CHIEF WE ARE FULLY COMMITTED TO DELIVERING THIS FACILITY AND THAT'S THE PRIMARY FOCUS IS THAT THE BUILDING WILL BE THERE WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THEM IF IT HAPPENS.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION.

THAT'S ALL I HAD. >> MAYOR: IS THAT WHAT IT SAYS IN THE AGREEMENT? CORRECT.

THAT'S NOT WHAT IT SAYS IN THE AGREEMENT WHICH IS THE WHOLE POINT OF BRINGING IT UP. [CHUCKLE] GO AHEAD.

>> SPEAKER: THE AGREEMENT BASICALLY PROVIDES THAT THE DEVELOPER'S RESPONSIBILITY IS UP TO $850,000 WITHIN THE SCOPE OF WORK AND THE SCOPE OF WORK IS DESCRIBED NOT JUST IN THAT FIRE SUBSTATION AGREEMENT BUT ALSO IN ONE OF THE EXHIBITS IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. THE EXPECTATION IS THAT THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE BUILDING WILL COST CLOSE TO 850.

HOPEFULLY 850 BUT IF THERE IS, ACCORDING TO THE DOCUMENTS, IF THERE IS AN UNDERAGE IN OTHER WORDS IF THE DEVELOPER CAN BUILD IT TO 800,000 THERE'S NOTHING THAT SAYS WE GET THE

EXTRA 50. >> COUNCIL MEMBER: DOESN'T NEED TO BE AMENDED?> MAYOR: THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT UP THE WHOLE GENERATOR ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS PART OF CONSTRUCTION COSTS. WHAT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IS WE ARE SIGNING OFF ON AN AGREEMENT.

THE DEVELOPERS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN SIGNED OFF.

SIGNED AND SEALED. WE ARE SIGNING OFF ON A RESPONSIBILITY MATRIX THAT SHOULD ONLY HAVE ALL OF THE

[01:00:04]

THAT'S WHAT I AM TRYING TO UNDERSTAND.

I STILL FEEL LIKE WE ARE NOT GETTING AN ANSWER.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER: I THINK UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE TWO CRITICAL PEOPLE NOT AT THE TABLE TONIGHT AND SO EITHER WE TABLE THIS OR WE MOVE FORWARD WITH IT.

I THINK THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THIS IS HOW THE NEGOTIATIONS FELL OUT. AND THEY ARE COMMITTED TO

$850,000 TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. >> COUNCIL MEMBER: IT'S A CONSTRUCTION BUDGET OF 850+1/2 ACRES OF LAND.

IT'S NOT JUST THE CASH IT'S THE REAL ESTATE THAT WOULD BE LARGER FOR THE NEED OF A SMALLER SUBSTATION.

IT IS NOT AS SMALL AS IT MIGHT SEEM.

>> MAYOR: WAS THE LAST THING YOU SAID DAVID?

>> COUNCIL MEMBER: IS NOT A SMALL THING IN TERMS OF

DEVELOPER CONTRIBUTION. >> MAYOR: I DON'T THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE EXCESS FUNDS BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE ON THE RESPONSIBILITY MATRIX THAT WE ARE SIGNING OFF TONIGHT THAT WE HAVE A COST IN THE RIGHT BUCKET FROM A CONSTRUCTION STANDPOINT VERSES IN ANCILLARY FFE REQUIREMENT.

THAT'S ALL I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND.

>> SPEAKER: I DON'T KNOW MAYOR IF WE CAN GIVE YOU THE ANSWER WE ARE LOOKING FOR TONIGHT BASED ON THE NEGOTIATIONS OTHER THAN WHAT THEY ARE COMMITTED TO END THE TOTAL MAXIMUM THAT THEY

ARE COMMITTED TO. >> COUNCIL MEMBER: IF THE COUNCIL DOESN'T APPROVE IT WE CAN GO BACK TO THE BARGAINING TABLE AND TRY TO RENEGOTIATE. THERE IS NO OTHER - THERE'S NOTHING ELSE WE CAN DO. I WOULD NOT BE COMFORTABLE APPROVING A MOTION ON WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN AFTER THE FACT.

I AM NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE COUNCIL VOTING ON THIS

AGREEMENT THIS EVENING. >> MAYOR: I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO TELL ME WE HAVE ALL THE CONSTRUCTION COSTS IN THE RIGHT BUCKET. IF YOU CAN'T TELL ME THAT TONIGHT THEN I WOULD SUGGEST WE TABLE IT BUT I WOULD LIKE TO

HEAR FROM OTHER COUNCILMEMBERS. >> COUNCIL MEMBER: THE OTHER THING IS THE OTHER THREE ITEMS THAT ARE TECHNICALLY COMPANION ITEMS THEY HAVE ALREADY GONE OUT TO BID.

>> MAYOR: I DON'T THINK B, C, AND E ARE ALL TIED TO THIS.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER: IF THERE'S ANY ISSUES OR CONCERNS NOW IS THE TIME TO EXPRESS THAT AND GET THE COMMITMENT FROM THE DEVELOPER BECAUSE ONCE WE APPROVE THOSE OTHER ITEMS ESSENTIALLY ALL WE ARE GOING TO DO IS GET CLARIFICATION ON THE ITEM WILL BE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE ANYTHING ELSE IF THAT IS THE

GOAL FOR TONIGHT. >> MAYOR: I AM NOT TRYING TO NEGOTIATE. I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE DEVELOPER HAS COMMITTED UP TO AND $50,000 IN DEVELOPMENT COST. IS THE MATRIX CORRECT IN REGARDS TO DEVELOPMENT COSTS TO ANCILLARY FFE.

IF IT IS NOT THE MATRIX NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

IT'S NOT A NEGOTIATION IT IS A CORRECTION OF THE DETAILS.

IF THE MATRIX DOES HAVE THE COST CORRECTLY ALLOCATED THEN THE WHOLE THING IS A MOOT POINT.

I DON'T THINK IT'S A NEGOTIATION I THINK IT'S A CLARIFICATION. I THINK WE CAN PROCEED WITH HB, 8C AND AE AND GET CLARIFICATION WITH 8A.

I AM SEEING A NOD FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY.

>> SPEAKER: IT'S SIMPLE. ALL YOU'RE SUGGESTING IS IN THE RESPONSIBILITY AND THE MATRIX IS THAT THE GENERATOR IS MOVED OVER TO A DIFFERENT COLUMN AND THAT WOULD BE SIMPLE.

IF THE MOTION HYPOTHETICALLY WERE TO APPROVE THE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE INCENTIVE THAN THE MOTION WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THAT IN IT BUT THAT IS EASY TO DO.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER: LET ME SAY THIS AND THIS IS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. EXHIBIT A SHOWS A CLEAR DELINEATION OF EACH PARTY'S RESPONSIBILITY.

IF YOU WERE TO LOOK IN THE PACKAGE IT SHOWS UP FOR ME AS PAGE 365. IT SHOWS ROUGH IN DEVELOPER FURNISHED, DEVELOPER INSTALLED, CITY FURNISHED CITY AND TOLD WITH REGARDS TO THE GENERATOR THE DEVELOPER'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ENCLOSURE FOR THE GENERATOR IS BASED ON THE BUILDING I ASSUME IS A CONCRETE PAD AND WHATEVER COVERING AROUND IT AND THEY WILL DO THAT AS PART OF THEIR PROJECT.

[01:05:04]

IT IS NOT A PART OF THE $850,000 THAT IS COMMITTED TO WHICH IS WHY WE BROKE DOWN BACK ON PAGE 356 TO SHOW YOU THAT THAT GENERATOR WOULD BE OUR RESPONSIBILITY AT THE TIME.

>> MAYOR: I UNDERSTAND ALL OF THAT.

MY QUESTION IS THAT THE STATEMENT IN THE PARAGRAPH ABOVE IT SAYS THAT THE GENERATOR IS PART OF CONSTRUCTION COST AND WE HAVE IT AS PART OF OUR COST.

I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE RESPONSIBILITY MATRIX SAYS.

I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE FF CHART SAYS.

I ALSO UNDERSTAND THE PARAGRAPH SAYS.

MY VERY SIMPLE QUESTION IS HAVE WE IDENTIFIED ALL THE CONSTRUCTION COSTS CORRECT THE IN THE RESPONSIBILITY MATRIX BECAUSE THERE IS SOME WORDING IN YOUR PACKET THAT INDICATES

OTHERWISE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER: I THINK WHAT THAT SENTENCE SHOULD SAY IS LARGER PURCHASED ITEMS SUCH AS THE GENERATOR OFTEN INCLUDED IN CONSTRUCTION COSTS HOWEVER IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CITY.

THAT WAS LEFT OFF. >> COUNCIL MEMBER: TO ME, ACCORDING TO THIS A GENERATOR IS EQUIPMENT AND THAT IS HOW I AM PERCEIVING IT. SO, I THINK IT WAS MORE SO THE STATEMENT WAS PROBABLY NOT FINE-TUNED.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER: IT WAS A MORE GENERIC STATEMENT THEN ABOUT WHAT IS TYPICALLY OCCURRING AND NOT WHAT IS OCCURRING IN THIS SECULAR AGREEMENT.

>> MAYOR: CAN I ASK WHAT THE DEVELOPER ROUGH IN IS AND WHAT THE CITY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AS FAR AS THE MATRIX SHOWS? THERE'S THE DEVELOPER RESPONSIBILITIES AND THE CITY RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDING THE DEVELOPER ROUGH IN AND I DON'T

UNDERSTAND THAT. >> SPEAKER: MAYOR, THE DEVELOPER IS ROUGHING IN A SERIES OF ITEMS THAT ARE TO BE INSTALLED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE FACILITY AND THERE IS INABILITY FOR THAT TO BE DONE PRIOR TO THE CITY PUTTING IN ANY PROPRIETOR TORI THINGS THAT WOULD COME FROM ANOTHER FACILITY. OUR TEAM AND JERRY DISCUSSED THIS AT GREAT LENGTH AND THEY WE'RE ABLE TO DISCUSS WHAT COULD BE REUSED FROM A DIFFERENT AREA THAT IS IMPERATIVE IN THE INITIAL CONSTRUCTION PLAN SO THAT THE BUILDING COULD UPPORT THAT PIECE OF EQUIPMENT.

THE IDEA OF THE ROUGH AND IS A CALL OUT TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE 100 PERCENT INCLUDED IN THE CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS.

>> MAYOR: I APPRECIATE THAT. Y'ALL, I DON'T CARE WHAT WE WANT TO DO WITH THE GENERATOR I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE COST. ANY COMMENTS OR THOUGHTS?

>> COUNCIL MEMBER: TO ME IT SEEMS LIKE I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT BECAUSE CURRENTLY HOW THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT READS FOR THIS PIECE OF IT IS THAT THEIR CONTRIBUTION IS A AND A $50,000 FOR WHAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR AND IN EXHIBIT B. WHICH THAT COMES IN UNDER $850,000 THEN WE LOST OUT ON SOMETHING. TO ME, WE SHOULD JUST LEFT OUT AND SAID THE DEVELOPER WILL CONTRIBUTE AND 50,000 TOWARDS THE CONSTRUCTION OF A FIRE STATION AND YOU GUYS COULD HAVE FIGURED OUT WHAT THE BEST WAY WAS TO SPEND THAT MONEY AND THEN WE HAVE TWO DETAILED AND WE ARE INTO THIS WEIRD MIDDLE GROUND WHERE THERE IS A LOOPHOLE.

I COMPLETELY TRUST PRESTON BUT IF PRESTON GETS HIT BY A BUS TOMORROW AND SOMEONE ELSE WISHES IT OUT AND SAYS WE CAME IN AT $800,000 YOU DON'T HAVE TO CONTRIBUTE THE INNER $50,000. THERE IS A LOOPHOLE AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT NEEDS TO BE MADE EMPLOYER IN MY OPINION IT IS

JUST A CORRECTION. >> COUNCIL MEMBER: I HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING BUT THE CITY ALSO HAS TO KNOW WHAT WE CAN BUDGET FOR SO THAT THE CITY COMES ONLINE AT THE SAME TIME THAT CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETELY FINISHED.

I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. >> COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT YOU KNOW THAT CAN COME IN AFTERWARDS. RIGHT NOW THEY DON'T KNOW ENOUGH OF THE COST TO KNOW WHAT OUR COST WOULD BE BASED ON HOW

THE CONTRACT IS WRITTEN. >> COUNCIL MEMBER: A WHAT YOU

ARE SAYING. >> MAYOR: DAVID, CAN YOU MAKE A

SIMPLE FIX TO THIS? >> SPEAKER: [INDISCERNABLE] EXPLAINED TO ME WHAT FIX WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.

>> MAYOR: THAT THE CONTRIBUTION IS 850,000.

CONTRIBUTION IS NOT LIMITED TO A RESPONSIBILITY MATRIX THAT WE

[01:10:01]

ARE ARGUING ABOUT RIGHT NOW. >> SPEAKER: IN THE EVENT THERE IS A COST UNDER RON THE EXCESS WOULD BE USED FOR CITY ITEMS IN

THE RESPONSIBILITY MATRIX >>> THE MOTION WILL HAVE TO BE TOO

APPROVE IT WITH THAT CONDITION. >> MAYOR: IS THAT SOMETHING

THAT YOU COULD DO? >> SPEAKER: OF COURSE.

OUR COMMITMENT REMAINS UNCHANGED.

IF DAVID HAS A WORDSMITH CHANGE THAT MAKES EVERYBODY FEEL

BETTER WE ARE OKAY WITH THAT. >> COUNCIL MEMBER: WHAT IS THE

CONDITION? >> MAYOR: IF THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION COST COMES IN UNDER 850,000 AND THEY WILL CONTRIBUTE TO ITEMS IN THE RESPONSIBILITY MATRIX.

NOT JUST HOW I SAID IT BUT IN THE RIGHT WAY.

CONTRIBUTE TO THE STUFF! HOW'S THAT? OKAY. YOU ARE OKAY WITH THAT PRESTON?

>> SPEAKER: YES MA'AM. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU.

I AM DONE WITH THAT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

YES LAURA? >> SPEAKER: JUST FOR THE RECORD CAN YOU SAY YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS?

>> SPEAKER: YES I CAN. LISTING.

SORRY, I JUST JUMPED IN AND DIDN'T INTRODUCE MYSELF.

>> MAYOR: WE ARE JUST USED TO SEEING YOU ON THE SCREEN.

THE NEXT TIME WE SEE YOU IT SHOULD BE IN PERSON.

COUNSEL ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS? ALL RIGHT. DOES ANYONE WANT TO TRY THE MOTION? I CAN'T MAKE THE MOTION, SORRY. GO AHEAD AHEAD MATT?

>> COUNCIL MEMBER: I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE VE THE BILL UP OR AGREEMENT UNDER THE CONDITION THAT THERE IS A COST UNDER RON UNDER THE 19 $50,000 FROM THE DEVELOPER THAT THE COST WOULD BE PUT TOWARDS THE CITY'S RESPONSIBILITY COST

UNDER EXHIBIT B. >> COUNCIL MEMBER: I WILL

SECOND THAT. >> MAYOR: ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? DAVID GAVE YOU THE THUMBS UP SO. OKAY.

WHITNEY ARE YOU OKAY? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND.

THAT ITEM PASSES 7-0. THANK YOU PRESTON AND THANK YOU

EVERYONE FOR THAT. >> SPEAKER: THANK YOU.

[Items 8B - 8D]

>> MAYOR: DO YOU WANT ME TO READ ALL THREE?

IS THAT CORRECT MUNAL? >> MAYOR: YES PLEASE.

>> MAYOR: OKAY. ITEM 8B. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER THE ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE ACCEPTING AND APPROVING A SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN AND ASSESSMENT ROLLS FOR THE TRAILS AT COTTONWOOD CREEK PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT, LEVYING SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS AGAINST CERTAIN PROPERTY IN THE DISTRICT AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS AND DETERMINATIONS RELATING TO THE DISTRICT. THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF VINSON ROAD AND STONEWALL ROAD.

8C. CONSIDER THE ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF "CITY OF ROWLETT, TEXAS, SPECIAL ASSESSMENT REVENUE BONDS, SERIES 2021 (TRAILS AT COTTONWOOD CREEK PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT MAJOR IMPROVEMENT AREA PROJECT)" AND APPROVING VARIOUS DOCUMENTS RELATEDTO SUCH BONDS FOR THE PROPERTY KNOWN AS TRAILS AT COTTONWOOD CREEK. AND 8D.

CONSIDER THE ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE ITEM ISSUANCE AND SALE OF "CITY OF ROWLETT, TEXAS, SPECIAL ASSESSMENT REVENUE BONDS, SERIES 2021 (TRAILS AT COTTONWOOD CREEK PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT AREA #1 PROJECT)" AND APPROVING VARIOUS DOCUMENTS RELATED TO SUCH BONDS FOR THE PROPERTY KNOWN AS TRAILS AT COTTONWOOD CREEK. MISS MUNAL MAULADAD?

>> SPEAKER: THANK YOU SO MUCH. TAMMIE AND COUNSEL THIS WILL BE A THREE-PART PRESENTATION AND MY GOAL IS TO TRY TO CAPTURE ALL OF THE ELEMENTS WITH THE REQUIRED OR REQUISITE ACTIONS OF COUNSEL. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS ITEM FOR SOME TIME NOW WHERE WE ARE TO THE FINISH LINE AS IT RELATES TO MAJOR IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER ONE.

THE ISSUANCE SO TO SPEAK AND READY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT. JUST TO POINT OUT FOR A RECALL SORT OF SPEAK OF MEMORY. THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE DOES AUTHORIZE MS. POLITY TO ESTABLISH IT'S FUNDED BOND AS WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT AND THEY ARE ACCOMPANIED WITH THE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENTS. JUST TO TALK ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION WE ARE TALKING ABOUT 765 RESIDENTIAL LOT DEVELOPMENTS AT BUILDOUT AND 14 MONTHS OR SO FOR THE MAJOR

[01:15:06]

SECONDLY WOULD BE TOO APPROVE THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE CITY OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENT REVENUE BONDS IN 2021 AND THE SAME SERIES FOR ONE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT AREA AND MAJOR IMPROVEMENT AREA AND NOW I WILL DIVE INTO THOSE AND ASKED WAYNE EACH ONE OF THOSE CATEGORIES.

THIS IS FOR EDIFICATION FOR OUR VIEWING AUDIENCE THOUGH WE AUDIENCE THESE ARE THE THREE ITEMS THAT WE JUST READ IN.

JUST TO RECAP SO THAT WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PROJECT FROM 2019 FROM AMENDING THE DEVELOPMENT ON THE PLANS DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT TO THE FACILITIES AGREEMENT TO BASICALLY CREATING A TRAILS AT COTTONWOOD CREEK PID WITH ASSOCIATED DEVELOPMENT AND MOVING FORWARD WITH ESTABLISHING THE PID ELEMENT AS FAR AS THE MAXIMUM FUNDING AMOUNT WHICH WOULD BE GENERATED BY THE PID BOND, TAX ASSESSMENT RATE ALL OF THOSE ELEMENTS AND THEN FAST-FORWARD TO APRIL OF THIS YEAR WE ADOPTED A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE SAP AND ACCEPTANCE ROLE WHICH RINGS US TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY. AS IT RELATES TO THE PUBLIC HEARING ASSOCIATED WITH THE ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE EXCEPTING THE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN, THE INTENT OF SAP IS TO MEMORIALIZE THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT, THE FUNDING AND THE AMOUNT AND ALLOCATION WITH THE ASSESSMENT LEVY AND OF COURSE THE TIMING OF THE ASSESSMENT REVENUE. THIS SAP THE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN PROJECTS THE ANNUAL COST AND DOES AUTHORIZE IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE PID. I HAVE ALREADY MENTIONED TO YOU THE MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND AGREEMENT WHICH IS 14 MONTHS AND WHICH WE INTEND TO SEE IN TERMS OF THE BUILDOUT AND THE SEVEN YEAR PROGRAM. THIS SAP IS VERIFIED BY OUR FINANCIAL ADVISORS WHO ARE ALSO HEAR WHO WILL GIVE YOU A SYNOPSIS OF HOW WE GOT TO WHERE WE DID TONIGHT.

THEY ENSURE THE CONSTRUCTION COSTS SUBMITTED BY THE DEVELOPER ARE QUALIFIED. AGAIN THE PURPOSE OF THIS ITEM IS TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE AFFECTING THE SERVICE PLAN AND ASSESSMENT LEVELS. AS THE DEVELOPER FURTHER REFINES THEIR OBLIGATIONS AND THEIR CORE CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM ONE OF THE ELEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PID IS TO CONSIDER THE APPROVAL OF THE ASSESSMENT AND REVENUE BOND SERIES 21 MIA WHICH IS A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT AREA . PRIMARILY THE PURPOSE OF THIS AGENDA ITEM IS FOR THE COUNCIL TO ADOPT THIS ORDINANCE CREATING A PRELIMINARY OFFER MEMORANDUM FOR THE CITY OF ROWLETT AND THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT REVENUE BOND.

THIS IS ITEM 8C WHICH YOU JUST READ INTO THE RECORD.

THE MIA IS PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS THE BENEFIT THE ENTIRE DISTRICT AS WELL AS THE HEBER HOOD AREA WHICH IS THE LAST ITEM ON THIS TOPIC. BASICALLY IDENTIFIES THOSE OBLIGATIONS AND THE ANTICIPATED COMMENCEMENT DATE IS JUNE 2021 AND THE COMPLETION DATE OF AUGUST 2022 WITH THE INSTALLATION OF THE STRUCTURE. WE DID ADVERTISE WITHIN THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS THE REQUISITE PUBLIC HEARING NOTICES ON MAY 18 WITH THE FURTHER LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE REQUIREMENT. ITEM 8DINCLUDE THE NEIGHBORHOOD MEMORANDUM NUMBER ONE. THIS IS THE AREA WHERE THE FIRST RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WILL BE REALIZED CONTAINING 194 LAW AND IS EXPECTED TO COMMENCE IN JUNE 2021 WITH AN ANTICIPATED COMPLETION DATE AND AUGUST.

I WOULD ASK PRESTON TO CLARIFY AND HAVE THE APPLICANT PRESENT THAT FOREST. I APOLOGIZE.

I AM NOT AWARE OF THE COMPLETION DATE FOR THE RESIDENTIAL PROJECT AGAIN WE WERE ALSO REQUIRED TO POST A

[01:20:03]

THE IMPROVED CONCEPT PLAN THAT WAS USED TO DERIVE THESE COMPONENTS OF THE PID ARE FROM THE CONCEPT PLANS AND YOU CAN SEE THAT TO THE LEFT OF YOUR SCREEN IDENTIFYING THOSE LAW IN ASSOCIATION WITH WHAT IS PPROPOSED HERE.

THE STAFFS RECOMMENDATIONS TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE EXCEPTING A SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN AT THE TRAILS AT COTTONWOOD CREEK LEVYING CERTAIN PROPERTIES IN THE DISTRICT AND APPROVING ALL OTHER MATTERS RELATING THERETO WITH ITEM 8C AND THE STAFFS RECOMMENDATIONS MOVES TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE FOR THE CITY OF ROWLETT SPECIAL REVENUE BOND FOR 2021 TRAILS AT COTTONWOOD CREEK WITH A MAJOR AREA IMPROVEMENT PROJECT IN THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF $5,065,000 IN IMPROVING VARIOUS DOCUMENTS RELATING TO SUCH BONDS FOR THE PROPERTY KNOWN AS THE TRAILS AT COTTONWOOD CREEK. LASTLY, ITEM 8D THE STAFF MOVES TO RECOMMEND AN ORDINANCE WITH THE CITY OF ROWLETT SPECIAL BOND ISSUED IN 2021 TRAILS AT COTTONWOOD CREEK PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER ONE PROJECT IN THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF 2,000,543 THOUSAND DOLLARS AND IMPROVING VARIOUS DOCUMENTS RELATING TO SUCH BONDS AS THE TRAILS AT COTTONWOOD CREEK.

WITH THAT COUNSEL YOU NOTICED THE STAFFS RECOMMENDATIONS AND PRINCIPAL AMOUNTS WERE REFERENCED.

I WOULD LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO JIM WHO WOULD BE ABLE TO GIVE US A SNAPSHOT AND OF COURSE THE VIEWING AUDIENCE OF HOW WE GOT TO THIS POINT. IF I COULD JUST TURN IT OVER TO JIM I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU.

>> SPEAKER: THANK YOU MUNAL IF YOU WOULD ALLOW ME TO SHARE MY SCREEN OUT APPRECIATE THAT. I WOULD HAVE TO LEAN ON LAURA

TO DO THAT. >> SPEAKER: FIRST OF ALL, GOOD EVENING COUNCIL MEMBERS AND CITY OF ROWLETT, THE LAST TIME WE SPOKE ABOUT THE COTTONWOOD PID WE SPOKE ABOUT THE DUE DILIGENCE PROCESS AND WE HAVE GONE THROUGH THE PROCESS OF LEGAL DOCUMENTATION AT THE CURRENT INDUSTRY BEST STANDARDS. PREPARE THE BOND ORDINANCES OF MAJOR IMPROVEMENT AREAS. THE CITY'S UNDERWRITER OVER THE LAST 10 DAYS HAS BEEN MARKING THE BALKANS WITH INVESTORS, HIGH NET WORTH INVESTORS AND THIS MORNING THERE WAS A FINAL PRICING . WE ARE PLEASED TO SAY THIS WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL PRICING, FAR EXCEEDING WHAT WE ESTIMATED AND REALLY, BASED ON OUR KNOWLEDGE OF SIMILAR TRANSACTIONS DONE HERE IN TEXAS RECENTLY A GREAT EDGE OF EFFICIENCY.

THIS IS A SUMMARY OF THE FINAL APPROXIMATION.

AS MUNAL INDICATED, $5,065,000 WILL BE INCLUDED FOR ELIGIBLE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE HEART OF THE PROJECT WILL NOT BE LOTS, IT WILL GENERATE $3.7 MILLION OF PROJECT FUNDS ALONG WITH $2,543,000 WITH A PHASE ONE NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT BOND ALONG WITH THE DEVELOPERS $6 MILLION CONTRIBUTION WILL FUND APPROXIMATELY $8.8 MILLION OF PUBLIC ELIGIBLE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PHASE I AREA. THESE BONDS WERE 30 YEAR BONDS EACH PHASE ONE NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT BOND BEING NEAR TERM DEVELOPMENT WERE SOLD AT A BOND YIELD OF 3.79 PERCENT WHICH BASED ON THE TERM BOND STRUCTURE WAS A SPREAD OF 230

[01:25:01]

IT WAS SOLD AS A BOND YIELD OF 4.2 PERCENT AND AT 275 BASIS POINT SPREAD. WE SPENT A LONG TIME PRIOR TO THE PRICING AND TODAY HAS PRIOR TO IMPROVING THE PRICE SUBMITTED TO COUNSEL DISCUSSING AS A STAFF WE LOOKED AT ALL THE TRANSACTIONS HAVE BEEN DONE RECENTLY.

THESE ARE THE VERY EDGE IF NOT THE LOWEST PRICE OF TRANSACTIONS WHICH REFLECT THE QUALITY NATURE OF THE CITY, THE NATURE OF THE PROJECT AND WHO THE DEVELOPER IS IN THE LOW LEVERAGED OVERALL OF THE PROJECT.

ONE THING THAT I WANT TO POINT OUT IS THAT THESE BONDS HAVE AN EIGHT YEAR CALL FEATURE WHICH MEANS AS THEY ARE BUILT OUT WE WOULD EXPECT THAT WE WOULD HAVE BUILT TO REFUNDING WITH INVESTMENT GRADE RATINGS, THE REFUND OF THE LOW RATE THAT THE ANNUAL CITIZEN PAYS. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? PHASE I DEVELOPMENT OF 194 LAW WILL GENERATE $66 MILLION FOR THE CITY. IN THE FUTURE THE ADDITIONAL 571 LOT WILL GENERATE ANOTHER 213 MILLION AS THEY ARE BUILT OUT OVER TIME. FOR YOU AS A COUNSEL THE LAST FEW ITEMS ARE REALLY IMPORTANT. WHAT I THINK IS IMPORTANT IS THAT ANNUALLY AND AS THE SAP IS UP DATED, THE COUNCIL WILL ACTUALLY BUILD THE ASSESSMENTS AS PART OF THEIR ANNUAL BUDGET PROCESS FOR THE AVERAGE ANNUAL ASSESSMENT FOR A BUILDOUT HOME WILL BE $1055 PER YEAR. WE HAVE ONLY DONE A PARTIAL ASSESSMENT IN THE MAJOR IMPROVEMENT AREA BASED ON 654 DOLLARS PER LOT AS HE MOVED FORWARD AND DEVELOP IN THE FUTURE PHASES THEY WILL DO AND INCREMENTAL ASSESSMENT BRINGING THE PER LOT ASSESSMENT EQUAL TO THE $1055 PER LOT PER YEAR ESTIMATES TO BE 30.9 CENTS AS A TAX EQUIVALENT RATE.

EACH ONE OF THESE ASSESSMENTS ON AVERAGE PUTS A LIEN ON THE PROPERTY FOR 13,108 DOLLARS AT THE HOMEOWNER CAN PAY OFF ANY TIME AS THEY CHOOSE TO. THE DEVELOPER BENEFIT IS A CAPITALIZED INTEREST IN THE PER LOT CAPITALIZED INTEREST TO FUND THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS $10,593.

THE PRICING HAS EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS.

IT PRESENTS A WELL STRUCTURED TRANSACTION VERY DILIGENT COMPREHENSIVE DUE DILIGENCE TO THIS PROCESS AN OUTSTANDING JOB BY OUR UNDERWRITER, STEPHANIE NICHOLS.

AS A FINANCIAL ADVISOR WE RECOMMEND THE APPROVAL.

IT EXCEEDS EVERY SINGLE BENCHMARK THAT WE HAD WHEN WE STARTED THE PROCESS. THAT WOULD CONCLUDE MY FORMAL COMMENTS RELATED TO THIS AND I KNOW THAT THE DEVELOPER HAS REPRESENTATIVES INVOLVED IN OUR PID INDUSTRY AND IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR YOU MAYOR, TO ASK THEM ABOUT THE SALE.

IT'S BEEN A VERY SUCCESSFUL SALES AND I WANT TO THANK ALL THE SENIOR STAFF OF THE CITY. THEY WORKED VERY LONG AND CHALLENGING HOURS. THIS IS A VERY COMPREHENSIVE TIME-CONSUMING PROCESS AND THE TIME EFFORT WAS REWARDED BY A VERY SPECIAL PROCESS FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED.

I ESPECIALLY THINK MUNAL WHO WAS THE PROJECT MANAGER FOR LEADING A VERY ORGANIZED AND WELL STRUCTURED PROCESS.

AND I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.

>> MAYOR: THANK YOU VERY MUCH THAT IS CERTAINLY GOOD NEWS.

WOULD ANYONE ELSE WANT TO COMMENT ON THAT SINCE HE OPENED

THAT UP? >> SPEAKER: IF YOU LIKE, RICK ROSENBERG WITH THE PSD 8140 AUSTIN TEXAS 7859 WE ARE THE PID CONSULTANTS FOR THE DEVELOPERS AND WE ARE VERY PLEASED OF THE OUTCOME OF THIS PRICING TO CONCUR WITH JIM'S

[01:30:03]

THE MAJOR IMPROVEMENT BOND PRICING IS THE LOWEST WE'VE EVER SEEN IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.

WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT AND I THINK IT'S MOST IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT I WENT BACK AND LOOKED TODAY AT OUR INITIAL ANALYSIS AND WE WERE AT 5 1/2 PERCENT FOR THE MAJOR IMPROVEMENT BOND AND 5 PERCENT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT BOND. WE ARE MORE THAN 100 BASIS POINTS AND BETTER FOR THE ORIGINAL PRICE AND THAT SHOWS THE STRENGTH OF THE PROJECT AND THE STRENGTH OF THE CITY.

WE THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR HARD WORK AND WE LOOK FORWARD

TO THE PROJECT. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU VERY MUCH I WOULD ALSO ADD THAT TIMING IS EVERYTHING.

>> SPEAKER: I'M NOT COMPLAINING.

>> MAYOR: YES, THANK YOU. IS THAT THE CONCLUSION OF THE

PRESENTATION? >> SPEAKER: THAT CONCLUDES OUR SIDE I WOULD TAKE ANY QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSIONS.

>> MAYOR: MUNAL DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE?

>> SPEAKER: NO I DO NOT. >> MAYOR: COUNSEL AT THIS TIME YOU CAN ASK ANY QUESTIONS AND THEN I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND WE COULD MAKE VOTING CONSIDERATIONS.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE ITEMS? WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH THIS MANY TIMES.
