[00:00:11]
GENTLEMEN. WELCOME TO THE WORK SESSION FOR THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION IN THE CITY OF ROWLETT. TODAY IS APRIL
[2A. Presentation of voter education information for the May 4, 2024 Bond Election]
9TH, 2024. CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER. OUR WORK SESSION CONSISTS OF PRESENTATION FOR THE BOND ELECTION.>> I AM EXCITED TO BE HERE WITH YOU ALL. HAVE A VERY EXCITING BOND PROPOSITION THAT ARE COMING OUT THIS MAY. AS YOU CAN SEE, WE WENT WITH THE THEME. IT IS ONLY APPROPRIATE. I CANNOT SAY THE TAGLINE OTHERWISE WE CAN BE SUED. IT IS COPYRIGHT. I AM JUST GOING TO SAY THE BOND ELECTION IS ON MAY 4TH. YOU CAN GET THE HINT OF WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO. ALL RIGHT.
>> A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT TASK FORCE APPOINTED BY THE COUNCIL MADE A CITIZENS HELPED IN SELECTING PROJECTS FROM A LONG LIST OF OVER $200 MILLION WORTH OF CAPITAL NEEDS THAT THE CITY HAS. YOU KNOW ONE OF THEM VERY WELL. HE WAS ON THE TASK FORCE AND WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE VOLUNTEERISM, SERVICE, AND HELPING COME UP WITH THE BEST PROJECTS. ALSO, HELPING US IN MAKING DECISIONS ON HOW TO CHANGE OUR STRATEGY WITH HOW WE HAVE NORMALLY DONE. DOING THINGS AND ALIGNING IT WITH THE
BEST BUSINESS PRACTICES. >> WE HAVE FOUR PROPOSITIONS THIS MAY AND WILL POSITION A IS $35 MILLION WHICH CONSISTS OF TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS. IMMIGRATION PROJECTS.
PROPAGATION SEE FOR PARKWAY. >> I AM GOING TO SPEND A LITTLE BIT OF TIME HERE. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT I DON'T HAVE THE BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND HOW WE ARE ABLE TO ACHIEVE AN
$80 MILLION CAPACITY. >> IT CRUCIAL THESE COME WITH NO TAX INCREASE. THROUGH CAREFUL DEBT RESTRUCTURING AND MANAGEMENT LEVERAGING THE GROWTH IN PROPERTY VALUES, WE'VE INCREASED OUR BOND CAPACITY IN SEEKING.
>> LAST MAY, THE VOTERS APPROVED $70 MILLION IN GEO-BONDS WITH A TAX INCREASE OF $.10 IN THE FUND. DUE TO SEVERAL FACTORS, THERE ARE AT LEAST $89 MILLION IN DEBT CAPACITY TO THE ISSUE. THIS MAY, THE VOTERS WILL BE DECIDING WHETHER IN GENERAL OBLIGATION OF CITY COUNCIL BE ISSUING CERTIFICATE OF OBLIGATION BONDS. $28.6 MILLION. $80 MILLION IN CAPACITY IS ACHIEVED BY SEVERAL FACTORS. ONE, APPRAISAL VALUES CONTINUE TO GROW AT AN AVERAGE 8-10% ANNUALLY IN ROWLETT. IN ORDER TO DEBT CAPACITY, WE ARE EJECTING FOR APPRAISAL VALUES TO INCREASE BY 8% IN 2025. A VERY CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE OF 2% IN 2026 AND 2027. FOR REFERENCE, VERY CONSERVATIVE. THAT WOULD BE IF WE ARE LOOKING AT A REGRESSION OF OUR HOUSING MARKET. THERE ARE NO CURRENT INDICATIONS THAT POINT TO THIS VERY MOMENT. WE EXPECT TO HAVE MORE CAPACITY GOING INTO 2026 AND 2027. NUMBER TWO IS IS EXISTING FUNCTIONALITY. TRADITIONALLY IN THE. SOME BONDS HAVE COME OFF. IT SHOULD HAVE REALLY BEEN DONE IN MY OPINION. LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN TEXAS HAVE BOTH A MAINTENANCE
[00:05:02]
OPERATIONS IN AN INTEREST IN SEEKING . IT IS HOW SALARIES ARE PAID, HOW OFFICE SUPPLIES ARE FUNDED, HOW WE PAY THE CITY'S ELECTRIC BILL. ALL OF THOSE THINGS. THE FUND IS HOW WE ARE ABLE TO ISSUE AND MANAGE DEBT AND FUND TEXTS CAPITAL PROJECTS. WITH THAT SAID, THE CITY OF ROWLETT HAS NOT FULLY LEVERAGED EITHER FUND. NOT FOR THE SAKE OF FINANCIAL EFFICIENCY. FOR YEARS, EXPENSIVE CAPITAL PROJECTS IN THE MILLIONS THROUGH WHICH HAS ONLY MANAGED TO TIE UP FINANCIAL RESOURCES THAT COULD OTHERWISE GO TO STAFFING OR EVEN THE ABILITY TO REDUCE THE RATE. WITH THE CITY COUNCIL HAS NOW CHOSEN TO DO IS MOVE A MAJORITY OF CAPITAL FUNDING OUT OF THE M&O FUND AND PLACE IT WHERE IT BELONGS WHICH IS THE INTEREST IN. IT'S NOT GENIUS. IT SIMPLY DOING WHAT OTHER CITIES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN DOING BECAUSE IT'S THE BEST BUSINESS STRATEGY AND FINANCIALLY COMMON SENSE AND SOMETHING THIS CITY HAS NOT DONE IN THE PAST. WE NEED TO START DOING WHAT IS REALLY THE BEST BUSINESS PRACTICE.>> ONLY ISSUED 20 YEAR BOND NOTES. ANOTHER THING I MENTIONED EARLIER. EVEN IF THE LIFE OF THE CAPITAL ITEM FAR EXCEEDS 20 YEARS OR EVEN IF THE ITEM IS WAY LESS THAN 20 YEARS, WE JUST ADOPTED A PRETTY EVEN 20 YEARS. EVERY CAPITAL ITEM IS. THIS IS ANOTHER PRACTICE THAT IS NOT MOST WISE OR SMART.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CAPITAL ASSET. WOW, GO FIGURE, RIGHT? THAT SOUNDS SMART. FOR EXAMPLE, APPROVED IN 2023 ARE TO BE ISSUING A 30 YEAR BOND NOTE. SOME STREET RECONSTRUCTION, MORE LARGER STREETS IS BOND ISSUE . YOU ARE LUCKY IF YOU CAN GET SEVEN YEARS OUT OF THEM. FULLY LEVERAGE OUR DEBT CAPACITY AND ALL THIS TOGETHER FOR DIFFERENT REASONS I PROVIDE. ALL THESE TOGETHER HAVE CREATED THE DEBT CAPACITY OF $80 MILLION. CAN TELL YOU THAT WHEN WE WERE FIRST GOING INTO THIS PROCESS, WE THOUGHT OUR CAPACITY WAS TO BE SOMEWHERE AROUND 60 MILLION. AGAIN, BY DOING THESE CREATIVE THINGS. THEY ARE NOT REALLY GENIUS, JUST DOING. WE ARE ABLE TO GET. WE HAVE $200 MILLION IN THE CITY. THIS WILL GO A LONG WAY INTO ADDRESSING. AND OBVIOUSLY, PLEASE ASK
QUESTIONS. OKAY? >> LET'S GET INTO THE PROPOSITION. I DON'T HAVE TO READ THIS. THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL SEE ON THE BALLOT. OH, HERE IS A VIDEO. .
>> LET'S GO AHEAD AND POSIT AND SEE IF WE CAN GET THE
VOLUME ADDRESSED. >> WHILE WE ARE PLAYING WITH THAT REMOTE, I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT I AM. REALLY EXPLAINED THIS. PREVIOUSLY FUNDING THE LARGER . REDUCED
[00:10:03]
THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WAS AVAILABLE IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO DO MAINTENANCE OF THE FACILITIES THAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY OR HAVING. THAT ALLOWS THE CITY TO BE AND MORE RESOURCES ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS.>> WE ARE GOING TO TRY THIS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
>> ALL RIGHT. >> LET'S DO THIS AGAIN.
>> LET'S START FRESH. >> PROPOSITION A. $35 MILLION.
HERE IS THE LIST OF PROJECTS. TRAFFIC SIGNAL INSTALLATION AT THE INTERSECTION OF LIBERTY GROVE ROAD AND RESIDENT GEORGE BUSH TURNPIKE. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEMS MONITORING AND MANAGING OUR MAJOR INTERSECTIONS WHICH WILL SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCE TRAFFIC FLOW, REDUCE CONGESTION, AND
IMPROVE SAFETY. >> THE LIBERTY GROVE ROAD RECONSTRUCTION WILL ENCOMPASS WIDENING IMPROVEMENTS STARTING FROM LANE AND EXTENDING EASTWARD. ADDITIONAL ROAD CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS INCLUDE THE CONSTRUCTION OF MERIT WROTE IN HER CONNECTOR. BUSINESS PART PHASE 2. RECONSTRUCTION OF
COUNTRY AIR STATES PHASE 2. >> NEXT IS THE DESIGN OF ROAD FROM MILLER ROAD TO LAKEVIEW PARKWAY. THIS IS THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE EXISTING TWO LANE ASPHALT ROADWAY TO A FOUR LANE DIVIDED CONCRETE ROADWAY. THIS INCLUDES UTILITIES, SIDEWALKS, STREET LIGHTING, AND LANDSCAPING.
FINALLY, CONCRETE PAD REPLACEMENT, ASPHALT ROAD REPAIR, SELECTED BY STAFF AND APPROVED BY COUNSEL BASED ON THE CONDITION IN HIS RATING AS WELL AS VISUAL EVALUATIONS.
UTILITY NEEDS, GEOGRAPHIC GROUPING AND ESTIMATED COSTS.
NEXT SLIDE. THIS BASICALLY IS REITERATING WHAT IS ON THE VIDEO. THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL CONTROL. THAT IS A BIG ONE FOR THE CITY. ABOUT A YEAR AGO, MEETING WITH STAFF AND ASKED THEM BECAUSE THERE HAD BEEN SOME ISSUES ADDRESSED ABOUT OUR SIGNAL MANAGEMENT, WHAT IS THE ISSUE WITH A PARTICULAR TECHNOLOGY? ENDED UP FINDING OUT THAT HALF OF OUR ARE BROKEN AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. UPON THEM INSPECTING THAT, REALIZED THAT MOST OF OUR SIGNALS WERE OPERATING ON FLOPPY DISK.
SOMETHING THAT I HAVE NOT WITNESSED VERY MUCH IN MY LIFE.
THE RESULTS OF CONTINUED DEFERRED MAINTENANCE OF OUR IMPORTANT CAPITAL ASSETS. THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT THIS NEW CITY ADMINISTRATION IN THIS COUNSEL ON EVER DOING. WE INTEND ON ADDRESSING THESE ISSUES GOING FORWARD AS A MAINTENANCE ITEM. HOWEVER, BECAUSE THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT HAS BEEN DIFFERED FOR SO LONG UNKNOWING TO THE CITY, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE REPLACE ALL OF OUR CABINETS WITH THE LATEST AND GREATEST TECHNOLOGY THAT ALLOWS FOR BETTER MANAGEMENT, BETTER WIRELESS COMMUNICATION FROM OUR TRAFFIC CONTROL CENTER AND SOME CASES, THEIR TECHNOLOGY ALLOWS AI FOR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT FLOW DURING PEAK TIMES. THERE IS A LOT OF DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS OUT THERE FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL MANAGEMENT THAT I THINK WILL -- WE WILL SEE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUTE. THE TURNPIKE CONNECTOR, THAT IS AN INTERSECTION THAT HAS TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND IT IS ONE NOT I AM PERSONALLY GLAD TO SEE GET FUNDED BY THIS COUNSEL. AGAIN, IF VOTERS GO IMPROVE THIS, ADDITIONALLY, MERRITT ROAD AND TURNPIKE IS IDENTIFIED INTERSECTION FOR TRAFFIC SIGNAL. THAT IS NOT BEING FUNDED IN THE PACKAGE JUST YET.
DOWN FROM THE CENTER SECTION. >> FURTHER NORTH?
>> YEAH. ONE INTERSECTION IS ALMOST $1 MILLION FOR THE TECHNOLOGY. THE TRAFFIC CONTROL BOX. THE POLLS. ALL OF THOSE
[00:15:01]
TOTAL UP TO ONE INTERSECTION, ONE IN INTERSECTION.>> AND THEN WE HAVE THE CONSTRUCTION OF IN HER CONNECTOR. THAT WAS TO FUND DESIGN CASES. THE POINT WHERE THIS IS GOING TO FUND THE ENTIRE COST FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THIS INTERCONNECTION PROJECT. IN PREVIOUS AGAIN, THEY ARE ONLY FUNNING DESIGN. ABLE TO RECEIVE A $14 MILLION FEDERAL GRANT. IT IS CALLED THE STATE TRANSPORTATION BLOCK GRANT WHICH VERY MUCH WANTED THE MAJORITY OF THE PROJECT.
UNFORTUNATELY, AS A RESULT, THERE ARE FEDERAL REQUIRED STUDIES . WE ARE LOOKING AT ABOUT 2026 OR 2027 BEFORE GROUND IS . $14 MILLION THAT IS COMING FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BODY CAPACITY. TO FUND THE GAP THAT IS $3 MILLION. FULLY FUNDED, READY TO GO FORWARD.
>> YOU HAVE NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECTS. BUT IF THE COMMERCIAL AREA BEHIND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. IF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN BACK THERE, DON'T. JUST DON'T. THE ROAD IS -- IT IS AN INDUSTRIAL AREA. WHEN THE STREETS WERE CONSTRUCTED BACK THERE, A NEIGHBORHOOD STANDARD. THE STREETS WERE NOT ENGINEERED FOR HEAVY TRUCK TRAFFIC. THAT RESULTED IN A REALLY HEAVY DECORATION OF THE ROADWAY AND THEREFORE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO COMPLETE PHASE TWO. PHASE ONE WAS INCLUDED AT ENTERPRISE DRIVE. OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR PHASE 2. THIS IS LIBERTY GROVE EAST OF. $7.3 MILLION, WE WILL SEE HOW FAR THAT GETS OF EAST OF. THIS IS NECESSARILY FOR WIDENING AND INSTALLING A CONCRETE REALLY DEVELOPED ROAD WITH A STORM SYSTEM. SINCE WE ARE SEEING ADDITIONAL GROWTH, IT'S IMPORTANT WE START MAKING
PROGRESS IN THAT DIRECTION. >> AGAIN SAID THIS IS THE DESIGN. VARIOUS CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS. THIS, AS THE VIDEO STATED, BASED UPON AND IS APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL WITH SOME DIRECTION FROM STAFF. PROPOSITION B. THIS IS THE BALLOT LANGUAGE THAT YOU WILL SEE.
>> PROPOSITION B. PARKS AND RECREATION PROJECT. $8.5 MILLION. WHAT ZONE WATERPARK REPAIRS ENHANCEMENTS WHICH INCLUDE REPAIRS TO THE EMERGENCY STOP? NEW AND REPLACEMENT CHASE RUSHERS AND REPLACING THE SAND VOLLEYBALL COURT WITH. KINGDOM RENOVATIONS INCLUDE REPLACING THE SERVICE AS WELL AS UPDATES AND REPAIRS EXISTING FEATURES.
COMMUNITY PART AND MAINTENANCE FACILITY. THIS INCLUDES A NEW STRUCTURE TO HOUSE EQUIPMENT AND STAFF. THE CURRENT FACILITY IS A TEMPORARY STRUCTURE. SPACE AND COVER STORAGE IS LIMITED.
THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR STAFF OR MEETINGS. THE RENOVATIONS AND ENHANCEMENTS, THIS INCLUDES REPLACING THE FLOOR IN. AFTER YEARS OF STRIPPING, SANDING, PAINTING, AND CEILING, THE FLOOR HAS NO MORE MAINTENANCE OPTIONS. HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE NEW FLOOR VERSUS THE EXISTING FLOOR. THE PARKING LOT IMPROVEMENTS AT THREE LOCATIONS. TO MEET THE
[00:20:03]
DEMANDS OF OUR GROWING CITY, THIS PROJECT EXPANDS AND IMPROVES PARKING LOTS THAT SPRINGFIELD PARK AND KATIE RAILWAY PARK. FINALLY, PARK ENHANCEMENTS. THESE ENHANCEMENTS INCLUDE POSSIBLE CHILD DEVELOPMENT, PLAYGROUND INSTALLATIONS, AND KAYAK LUNCHES AT LAKESIDE PARK STYLE.IN COLUMBIA PARK. >> LET'S GET INTO THIS A LITTLE MORE. THE WET ZONE WATERPARK. CONSTRUCTED AND I BELIEVE IT OPENED IN 2004. MAYBE A LITTLE BIT EARLIER THAN THAT. THIS FACILITY HAS NOT RECEIVED MUCH FUNDING OR CAPITAL MAINTENANCE OVER THE YEARS. LAST YEAR WE SAW ABOUT 34,000 VISITORS. ONE DOLLAR PER VISITOR TO. HE WE BUDGETED ABOUT $35,000 A YEAR IN MAINTENANCE. THAT IS SIMPLY NOT ENOUGH. THAT MAY BE DOES SOME CRITICAL THINGS BUT IT IS CERTAINLY NOT KEEPING THE PART IN A BIBLE CONDITION. WHAT ZONE WATERPARK IS CURRENTLY AS IT SITS TODAY, NOT IN A CONDITION OPEN. WE ARE MAKING EMERGENCY REPAIRS BY COOLING SOME FUNDING. IT HAS REALLY BEEN NEGLECTED AND NOT BEEN GIVING THE FUNDING IT NEEDS TO BE SUSTAINABLE IN THIS MARKET.
BE REPLACED. WE HAVE FLOOR LINERS THAT NEED TO BE REDONE.
THERE ARE RUSTED PIZZAS IN MANY AREAS. NEED TO BE SANDBLASTED, REDONE, OR REPLACED. THE LIST IS PRETTY LONG ON THE NEED FOR WET ZONE REPAIRS AND ENHANCEMENTS. KIDS KINGDOM WAS REBUILT AND REOPENED IN 2015. THE SERVICE WHICH IS THAT SOFT SURFACE, BOUNCY FEELING. IT WAS NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY. WHEN YOU INSTALL THIS SURFACE, IT'S IMPORTANT TO GO AND AFTERWARDS AND APPLY A SEALANT EVERY 2-3 YEARS. THAT WAS NOT DONE. AFTER IT WAS INSTALLED. SEVERAL YEARS AFTER. AT THAT POINT, IN THE BASE AND HAS RESULTED IN SEVERAL PIECES THAT CHUNKS OF IT ARE REALLY COMING LOOSE. WE HAVE HOLES IN CERTAIN AREAS IN PART THAT REALLY ARE A TRIP HAZARD. THE SURFACES OF THE POINT WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACE WITH -- IT NEEDS TO EITHER BE CORRECTLY INSTALLED OR A DIFFERENT
SURFACE NEEDS TO BE APPLIED. >> THE COMMUNITY PARK OPERATIONS MAINTENANCE FACILITY, WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING OUT OF A STORAGE CONTAINER. NOT ACCEPTABLE. THAT NEEDS TO BE -- THAT REALLY DOES NEED TO CHANGE. ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE SOME AREAS IN OUR PARKS WHERE THERE IS NOT SUFFICIENT PARKING. WE ARE LOOKING TO ADD SOME PARKING SPOTS. THE SOONER CITIZENS THAT I HAVE HEARD FROM CONTINUE TO EXPRESS THEIR DESIRE TO HAVE MORE ACCESS IN THE LAKESIDE COMMUNITY. AS A RESULT, WE HAVE PARKS ALONG THE LAKE THAT WE WANT TO DO ENHANCEMENTS WITH. KAYAK LUNCHES, TRAILS IN THE PARKS INCLUDING. ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS?
>> PROPOSITION C IS. $4.7 MILLION.
>> PROPOSITION C. PUBLIC SAFETY PROJECTS. .4 $.7 MILLION. TO
[00:25:06]
MODERNIZE AND REPAIR FIRE STATI LOCATED AT 3900 WHICH SERVES THE SOUTHWEST PORTION OF OUR CITY OPEN IN 2006. FIRE STATION 3 LOCATED AT 8000 PRINCETON ROAD SERVES THE NORTHEAST PORTION OF OUR CITY AND OPENED IN 1998. FIRE STATION 4 OPENED IN 2004. A DEAL OF THE MODERNIZATION AND REPAIR PROJECTS AT THE FIRE STATIONS INCLUDE EACH DAC SYSTEM REPLACEMENT, FOUNDATION REPAIRS, LIVING AREAS REMODELED AND UPDATED. ENHANCING SECURITY STATIONS. CLOSING BUNKER GEAR AND UPDATING AN ELECTRICAL JUST TO NAME A FEW.>> ALL RIGHT. THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES IN OUR OLDER FIRE STATIONS. NONE OF THEM HAVE RECEIVED ANY RENOVATIONS SINCE THEY WERE BUILT. STATION THREE, WHICH IS THE OLDEST STATION IS AT THE WORST STATE. HOWEVER, EVERY STATION HAS ISSUES AND NEEDS. AS YOU CAN SEE AT THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER, THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT FOUNDATION ISSUES AT STATION 1. HIS LAB IS FULLY SEPARATED FROM WHERE IT USED TO BE. ALSO, PLUMBING ISSUES AND -- IS THERE ANOTHER SLIDE HERE?
>> OKAY, LET ME GO BACK. WHICH, AT THE TIME MET IN ITS STANDARDS AND THAT NO LONGER MEETS THE. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO DO FOR STATION 3 . ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT
OPPOSITION? >> NOT ANYTHING WHERE THEY WILL
HAVE TO BE DISPLACED. >> PROPOSITION D WHICH IS AT $3.15 MILLION. THIS IS THE LANGUAGE THAT WE WILL SEE.
>> ROBINSON D. STREETLIGHTING FOR LATE PARKWAY. $3.15 MILLION. INCLUDES INSTALLING STREETLIGHTING FOR LAKEVIEW PARKWAY. ANY PROCEEDS WITH COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT WILL BE USED FOR STREETLIGHTING ON THE CITY.
>> THAT PRETTY MUCH SAID IT RIGHT THERE. WE ARE ONE OF THE ONLY DEVELOPED CITIES THAT I HAVE DRIVEN THROUGH ON A MAJOR CITY HIGHWAY WHICH DOES NOT HAVE STREETLIGHTING. I DON'T KNOW THE REASON WHY IT HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE. THIS IS OUR OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE PROJECT DONE. IT IS EXPENSIVE.
$3.15 MILLION WAS -- THAT IS AFTER GOING AND RECEIVING QUOTES WITH THE BEST ESTIMATE ON THE PRICE. THAT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH THE CONDUIT INSTALLATION. IT IS AN EXTENSIVE PROJECT NOT JUST GOING IN AND PUTTING IN A LIGHTBULB. IT IS A LOT MORE THAN THAT. HOWEVER, IF THERE IS AN EXCESS FUNDING, THAT WILL GO TO OTHER STREETLIGHTING NEEDS.
THERE IS AREAS IN OUR CITY WHICH DON'T HAVE A HISTORY LIKE THIS. DOESN'T HAVE ANY STREETLIGHTING. I COULD BE THE
POTENTIAL AREA. >> YES. THE ENTIRE. THAT IS THE PLAN. THE ENTIRE STRETCH. THE ENTIRE STRETCH WILL HAVE
STREETLIGHTING. >> ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A COUPLE TOWNHOUSE COMING UP. THIS THURSDAY AT 6:30 P.M., IT WILL BE HERE AT CITY HALL AND TUESDAY, APRIL 23RD AT 6:30
