♪ ♪

>> DAVE, ROWLETT. LIFEGUARDS AT THE WET ZONE.

WHY ARE THERE NO LIFEGUARDS AT PADDLE POINT PARK?

[00:10:03]

THE OPTICS ARE BAD. MOST OF THOSE ON THE WATER HAVE BROWN AND BLACK SKIN AND CANNOT AFFORD THE WET ZONE.

I BELIEVE IT IS AUTHORIZED BY THE CITY AS AN ENTERPRISE FUNDED ASSET. PAID FOR JUST LIKE THE WATER DEPARTMENT. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH RESOURCES FROM THE USERS TO PAY FOR ITS MAINTENANCE AND THERE FOR IT NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN BUILT. THE PRIVATES -- THE FORMER CITY MANAGER DECIDED THE WET ZONE WAS NOT UP CITY ASSET.

THERE ARE STILL NO LIFEGUARDS AT PADDLE POINT PARK.

APPROVED BY COUNCIL AND THE RESIDENTS TO USE THE GENERAL FUND. MAYBE WE SHOULD BE PASSED OCCULT FREE PASSES TO THE WET ZONE AND GET KIDS IN A SAFER ENVIRONMENT

THANK YOU. >> NEXT UP WE HAVE DAN FOLLOWED

BY DENISE. >> ROWLETT.

GOOD EVENING, COUNCILOR. I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE MONUMENT WITH GEORGE BUSH HAS HAD THE STONE REPLACED ON THE BASE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH THE CONSIDERATION THAT THE COUNCIL SHOWED US WITH THE WORK SESSION IS VERY INTERESTING. LET'S CELEBRATE THE ANIMAL SHELTER FROM THE POLICE AND FIRE BUILDING PLEASE DO NOT COMPLICATE THIS. THE EMPLOYEES NEED MORE SPACE AND WATER AND ELECTRICITY. THIS IS AN EASY WIN.

LET'S TAKE THE W. DON'T WORRY ABOUT THIS WEEKEND GOOGLE THE ADDRESS. AS FAR AS ELECTRIC VEHICLE PARKING, AT 66 HAS PROVED THEIR CHARGES.

AND THE PRODUCERS THAT BUILT THE DISCONTINUED MODELS, BUSINESSES RUNNING THE CHARGERS, THEY ARE AFRAID OF PURCHASING.

THANK YOU FOR THE CONSIDERATION ON NOT MANDATING THIS PARKING CODE. LET BUSINESS HANDLE BUSINESS PLEASE STAY OUT OF THE WAY THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS DENISE

FOLLOWED BY HASSAN. >> DENISE, ROWLETT.

GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY. THIS WE HAVE OVER 62,000 RESIDENTS. AND THE JANUARY 28TH 202020 -- 2025 PLANNING AND ZONING THE MEETING CITY STAFF CLAIMED THAT 1025 WAS A CITYWIDE ISSUE. IF THIS IS TRULY A COMMUNITY MARK I WANT TO ASK HOW MANY APPLICANTS THAT THEY HAVE FOR THIS SPECIFIC EXCEPTION ACROSS OUR ENTIRE CITY.

HOW MANY RESIDENTS ACTUALLY ASKED FOR THIS CHANGE? COMMISSIONER STANLEY WAS QUESTIONED ABOUT THE INCREASINGLY LOUD SIZE BY 60 SQUARE FEET.

WHY WAS THE DATE OF DECEMBER 17TH 2019 TAKE IT OUT OF THE NOVEMBER 2022 BOARD ADJUSTMENT PACKAGE? SINCE THIS WAS USED IN 1025 SEVERAL YEARS LATER.

UNDER THIS ORDINANCE SECTION WHAT EXACTLY IS REQUIRED ONCE AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE IS ATTACHED TO THE HOUSE.

UNDER SECTION 77805 THE RULES SAY CHANGING SHOULD IMPROVE THE OUTCOME OF THE CITY. DOES THIS ORDINANCE DO THAT? THE CITY COUNCILOR ON MARCH 24TH 2025, THEY LAID OUTRULES.

HAD THOSE STANDARDS HAVE BEEN APPLIED TO THIS ORDINANCE? SECTION 77 AS SHOWING THE PROPOSAL SLIDE.

WITH 33 SECONDS THE PROPOSALS DEMAND COMPLIANCE WITH THE CO CODES. AND THE FIRE CODES.

FROM MY UNDERSTANDING IT WAS STARTED RIGHT HERE THAT THIS INCLUDED A FIRE WALL REQUIREMENTS MATCHING MATERIALS OF THE MAIN HOUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE THAT BYLAW.

AND WHAT IF IT IS NOT MADE OUT OF THE SAME STRUCTURE? IF THERE IS NOT A FOLLOW-UP IS IT A LEGAL? THIS IS A CLEAR SOLUTION FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.

IT WAS STATED IN THE RECORD THAT THIS IS REQUIRED IT REQUIRES A STRICT FIREWALL IF IT'S IT'S TOO CLOSE TO THE PROPERTY LINE WHY HAS THIS STANDARD NOT BEEN APPLIED? WHY IS THERE AT -- DATED DECEMBER 31ST 2026? WHAT COMPLAINTS PAPERWORK MUST BE SUBMITTED BEFORE THE DECEMBER 31ST 2026 SUNSET DATE TO SATISFY -- SATISFY SECTION 76. WHAT IS REQUIRED IN THAT FILE? ZONING LAWS EXIST TO PROTECT ALL OF OUR CITIZENS EQUALLY.

DOES THIS ORDINANCE DO THAT? THANK YOU.

>> OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS HASSAN. ♪ ♪

[00:15:08]

>> HASSAN. GOING TO ASK ABOUT THE STRUCTURE FOR FIVE YEARS. TELLING YOU ABOUT THE WATER ISSUE. YOU KNOW THERE IS NO ACCESS FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IF THERE IS ANY FIRE.

NOT EVEN 3 FEET. WITH THE BACK OF THE HOUSE.

AND WHAT I WAS WONDERING ABOUT THIS SECTION IS ZERO -- 2577 -- 908. ASKING EVERYBODY ABOUT THE APPOINTMENTS ABOUT THAT INSPECTION.

IN THE BUILDING. THE ELECTRICITY INSPECTIONS THE WATER AND EXPECTS -- INSPECTION. IT IS REALLY DANGEROUS.

PROBABLY GET UP ONE NIGHT AND THEN WAS SAYING THAT THE BRICK WALL MY BRICK WALL IS NOT OF FIREWALL.

WHAT ABOUT THE ONE AT THE BOTTOM? LIKE 2 FEET OR 3 FEET? SO IT IS JUST MY HOUSE IS REALLY GETTING A LOT OF DAMAGE ALL EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID IT.

WITH THE RECORD. FOR THE PERMITS FOR THE INSPECTION. NOT A SINGLE INSPECTION WE HAVE SEEN. YOU KNOW.

THE LAST TIME YOU KNOW IT IS NOT RIGHT.

WE HAVE TO BE TREATED BY THE SAME RULES.

TODAY IT IS ME TOMORROW IT WILL HAPPEN TO SOMEBODY ELSE IN ROWLETT. TO MAKE IT LEGAL AND IT DOES NOT CONCERN US. THE DAMAGE WILL HAPPEN TO US.

EVERY TIME IT IS A BAD. YOU KNOW.

THAT IS MADE OUT OF PLASTIC. THERE IS NO FIRE WALL.

THERE HAS TO BE SOME RULES. IF ANYTHING HAPPENS THAT BUILDING DOESN'T GO AHEAD WITH ANY RULES BECAUSE IT DOES NOT PASS ANY CODES. NO TICKET FOR NOTICE CAN YOU GO OUT THERE AND GIVE HIM A LEGAL ELECTRIC? NO. JUST A BUILDING THERE WITH NO FOLLOWING. AND THEN LIKE THEY SAY WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH. IT DOES NOT APPLY TO THEM IT HAS TO APPLY TO EVERYBODY. THAT STRUCTURE.

>> OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS BETH CROCKETT FOLLOWED BY VERONICA.

I HOPE I GOT THAT RIGHT. >> BETH, ROWLETT.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.

CO BONDS HAVE UNFORTUNATELY BECOME THE COUNCIL'S VERSION OF A BLANK CHECK. MORE CO BONDS IN THE FORM OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE TAXPAYERS THIS IS GIVING COUNCIL THE ABILITY TO BYPASS THE CITIZENS RIGHT TO VOTE ON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT OPTIONS JUST BECAUSE IT IS LEGAL DOES NOT MAKE IT RIGHT.

WHEN YOU RAISE OUR TAXES WE HAVE TWO CHOICES PAY THE TAXES OR SELL OUR HOUSE AND MOVE OUT OF ROWLETT.

ROWLETT HAS THE HIGHEST TAX RATE AND THE LOWEST EXEMPTION IN DALLAS COUNTY. TO ME A 5000-DOLLAR HOME STATE EXEMPTION IS A JOKE. WE ARE A BIGGER COMMUNITY.

SO FAR IN THREE YEARS THE COUNCIL HAS SOLD $57,650,000 IN CO BONDS. THIS NOW EXCEEDS THE AMOUNT PLANNED TO BE SPENT ON THE FACILITY ANIMAL SHELTER BY THE CITIZENS THREE YEARS AGO. AND LIVE WITHIN OUR MEANS.

[00:20:08]

THE BUDGET PROCESS BEGUN AND WE THE CITIZENS NEED TO PAY ATTENTION. I CAUGHT A REFERENCE TO SELLING MORE CO BONDS IN FISCAL YEAR 2027 WHICH INDICATES TO ME THE COUNCIL'S INTENT TO CONTINUE THIS PRACTICE.

THESE ARE NOT PREMONEY NOR SHOULD THEY BE A BLANKET CHECK.

ON A TOTALLY SEPARATE SUBJECT I WANT TO LET THE COUNCIL KNOW I ATTEMPTED TO WATCH THE SESSIONS ON JULY 15TH AND 17TH TODAY.

UNFORTUNATELY BOTH WERE AVAILABLE BY AUDIO ONLY.

EVEN MORE UNFORTUNATE THE JULY 15TH IS NOT AVAILABLE.

THIS IS A RATHER IMPORTANT SESSION SINCE IT AND COVERS USE AND STRUCTURE PARTICULARLY FOR POLICE AND FIRE.

CITY EMPLOYEES HAVE THE MAJORITY OF THE BUDGET.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THIS BE AVAILABLE TO CITIZENS.

I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A SEVEN HOUR SESSION AND IT IS NOT AVAILABLE. COULD WE GET THIS BUDGET SYSTEM ON THE WEBSITE -- MEETING ON THE WEBSITE?

>> THE NEXT SPEAKER IS A VERONICA FOLLOWED BY MICHELLE.

>> GOOD EVENING I AM VERONICA AND I HAVE LIVED IN ROWLETT MY WHOLE LIFE. RECENTLY I HAVE DISCOVERED THERE ARE 20 PLUS FLOCK CAMERAS ACROSS ROWLETT WITH PLANS TO INSTALL 32 MORE THIS YEAR. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO MAKE CITIZENS FEEL SAFE AND SET ALL I FEEL IS AN INVASION OF MY PRIVACY. THESE ARE AUTOMATIC LICENSE PLATE SCANNERS. IT SOUNDS GOOD IN THEORY BUT FLOCK LACKS THE TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY AND IS EXTREMELY WORRISOME TO ME. THE INSTITUTE FOR JUSTICE HAS FOUND 24 CASES SINCE 2024 OF THE CAMERA'S MISUSE ACROSS THE COUNTRY INCLUDING AN OFFICER SEARCHING HIS EX-GIRLFRIEND AND HER PARTNER IN OVER 200 TIMES IN JUST TWO MONTHS.

IN MILWAUKEE. SORRY.

NERVOUS. OTHER FAMOUS USES INCLUDE GOING AFTER IMMIGRANTS WITHOUT A WAR RENT AND TRACKING PURSUING REPRODUCTIVE ASSESSMENT -- PEOPLE WANTING REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE SUCH AS ABORTIONS. MONITORING ACTIVITY SINCE 2025 WHEN THEY REMOVE DATA SUCH AS OFFICER NAME'S LICENCE PLATES AND FILTERS FROM THEIR NETWORK AUDIT LOGS.

I AM VERY CONCERNED BY THEIR ACTIONS AND HOW MUCH CONTROL ROWLETT IS ALLOWING THEM. WHO HAS ACCESS TO THIS DATA? ARE WE MONITORING THE USE OF THIS DATA IN THIS DEPARTMENT? PLANNING TO INSTALL CAMERAS THAT HAVE TOOLS SUCH AS PEOPLE DETECTION ALERTS. THAT ALLOW RETURNS SUCH AS MAIL IT WITH TATTOOS OR MAIL IT WITH A WHITE SHIRT AND BLACK PANTS.

DESPITE THEM SAYING THEY DO NOT TRACK ANYTHING TIED TO INDIVIDUALS. FLOCK ALSO ADVERTISES THEIR FREE-FORM TOOL THAT HAS THE ABILITY TO ATTRACT THINGS SUCH AS BUMPER STICKERS, DENSE, ROOF RACK, EVEN IF YOU HAVE A DOG BED IN YOUR CAR. WE ARE ROWLETT CITIZENS, PROPERLY EDUCATED ON INSTALLING FLOCK CAMERAS, IF THAT IS THE CASE, WERE THEY AWARE OF THIS PRIVACY INVASION BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL DECIDED TO IMPLEMENT THEM? WILL BE NOTIFIED ON ANY CHANGE IN THIS PARTNERSHIP? I SUSPECT THE WE WERE INFORMED WE WOULD SEE ANTI-FLOCK GROUPS SIMILAR TO THE D FLOCK GROUPS THAT EXIST IN TEMPLE, AUSTIN AND MORE. THERE IS A REASON THAT A REASON THAT 30 MUNICIPALITIES HAVE ENDED THEIR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE FLOCK SINCE 2025. MY HOPE IS THAT ROWLETT WILL RECONSIDER THIS PARTNERSHIP AND EVERYBODY CAN NOW TRULY UNDERSTAND THE IMPLICATIONS OF INSTALLING FLOCK CAMERAS IN OUR

TOWN THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS MICHELLE AND THAT IS THE LAST SPEAKER.

IF ANYBODY WISHES TO SPEAK YOU CAN GO TO THE BACK LEFT CORNER

OF THE ROOM. >> I AM MICHELLE FROM ROWLETT AND I AM HERE TO TALK PICKLEBALL.

I'M HERE TO RECOMMEND WHAT WE SHOULD DO AT THE DARK PAVILION, I AM RECOMMENDING AGAINST IT BEING A PICKLEBALL PAVILION.

NO DOUBT PICKLEBALL IS A VERY POPULAR RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY BUT DOES IT REPRESENT THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF VALUABLE DOWNTOWN PROPERTY? APPROXIMATELY 7% OF AMERICANS PLAYED PICKLEBALL DURING 2025. THAT GIVES US A ROUGH ESTIMATE OF 4800 POSSIBLE PICKLEBALL PLAYERS.

THAT INCLUDES CASUAL PARTICIPANTS WHO MAY HAVE PLAYED

[00:25:01]

ONLY A FEW TIMES DURING THE ENTIRE YEAR.

IT DOES NOT ESTABLISH THE THOUSANDS OF ROWLETT RESIDENCE NEED REGULARLY USED ADDITIONAL COURTS.

AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER AND THE MULTI-PURPOSE COURT.

BEFORE COMMITTING TO THIS, THEY ARE CONSTANTLY OPERATING AT CAPACITY. EVEN IF ADDITIONAL COURTS ARE JUSTIFIED, DEMAND IS LIMITED AND STRATEGICALLY IMPORTANT.

IT CAN SUPPORT BUSINESSES, RESTAURANTS, ENTERTAINMENT, PUBLIC GATHERING SPACES, AND ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT THAT GENERATE SALES AND PROPERTY TAX. INCLUDE LAND AND PARKED IT AND SECURITY MAINTENANCE. THEY ALSO CREATE NOISE CONCERNS FOR NEARBY RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES.

A LARGE PROFESSIONALLY OPERATED PICKLEBALL DESTINATION WITH NUMEROUS COURTS, TOURNAMENTS, FOOD SERVICE, PROGRAMMING, AND VISITORS FROM OUTSIDE ROWLETT MIGHT GENERATE A MEASURABLE ECONOMIC RETURN. A FEW DOWNTOWN MUNICIPAL COURTS WOULD NOT GENERATE THIS. COUNCILORS SHOULD CONSIDER HOW HAVE A LEAGUE ROWLETT'S EXISTING SPACES ARE BEING USED.

HOW MANY RESIDENTS HAVE REQUESTED ADDITIONAL COURTS.

IS THIS A YEAR-ROUND ACTIVITY AT? YEAR-ROUND ACTIVITIES AND FUTURE TAX REVENUE, THIS IS GOING TO FUND CONSTRUCTION RELATED EXPENSES WITH ROWLETT TAXPAYERS ULTIMATELY THERE. DOES THIS PROJECT ADVANCE THE LONG TERM DIVERSION FOR DOWNTOWN ROWLETT AND ALSO REFLECTS THAT THIS PROPOSAL WAS PUT BEFORE THE DOWNTOWN ADVISORY COMMITTEE BEFORE THEY WERE SELECTED. THEY NEVER GET EVERYTHING GREAT.

[4. Consent Agenda ]

>> THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANYBODY ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO SPEAK THIS EVENING? SEEING NONE WE WILL MOVE ON WITH OUR AGENDA TO CONSENT AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 4. THE FOLLOWING ITEMS MAY BE ACTED UPON IN ONE MOTION A STEADY COUNCILOR OR CITIZEN MAY REQUEST ITEMS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE AGENDA FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION. WE DID HAVE A REQUEST TO PULL THREE ITEMS. WE WILL PULL 4C, 4D, 4E, AND THAT JUST LEAVES THREE ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.

WOULD ANYBODY LIKE TO REMOVE THOSE? SEEING NONE OF THOSE WOULD THEY BE READ INTO THE RECORD.

>> CONSIDER ACTION OF APPROVING THE MINUTES.

CONSIDER ACTION TO DESIGNATE THE CITY'S OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER, 4B.

AND NUMBER 4F, CONSIDER ACTION TO AUTHORIZE THE USE OF EMINENT DOMAIN ON TWO PROPERTIES FOR THE ACQUISITION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY AND EASEMENTS FOR THE CHIESA ROAD WIDENING (DALROCK ROAD TO MILLER

ROAD). >> I HAVE A MOTION THAT THEY ARE

APPROVED AS READ. >> SECOND.

>> ANY DISCUSSION? AND THOSE ITEMS CARRIED

[4.C. Consider action to authorize the purchase of nine (9) Chevrolet 1500 pickup trucks and one (1) Chevrolet Equinox from Lake Country Chevrolet. ]

UNANIMOUSLY. NEXT WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM 4C.

CONSIDER ACTION TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE 1500 PICKUP TRUCKS AND ONE (1) CHEVROLET EQUINOX TO REPLACE ENTERPRISE VEHICLES, FROM LAKE COUNTRY CHEVROLET, THROUGH A TIPS COOPERATIVE PURCHASING CONTRACT, FOR A TOTAL PRICE NOT TO EXCEED $445,155.77; AUTHORIZING THE INTERIM CITY MANAGER OR HIS DESIGNEE TO EXECUTE ALL NECESSARY DOCUMENTS TO EFFECTUATE SAID PURCHASE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. HERE TO MAKE A PRESENTATION ON

THIS ITEM IS OUR FLEET MANAGER. >> THIS ITEM IS REQUESTING THE PURCHASE OF NINE CHEVROLET 1500 PICKUPS.

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE DOCUMENTS.

THIS IS A STRATEGIC PURCHASE TO REPLACE ENTERPRISE VEHICLES IN FEBRUARY OF 2021. THE CITY APPROVED AN AGREEMENT WITH FLEET MANAGEMENT. A DECISION HAS BEEN MADE AFTER

[00:30:07]

REEVALUATION TO RETURN TO CITY VEHICLES.

REPLACING TEN OF THE ENTERPRISE VEHICLES.

>> RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION. THIS IS ALIGNED WITH THE STRATEGIC DIRECTION AND THE FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY TO DO IT IN THE MOST COST-EFFECTIVE WAY POSSIBLE.

THE EQUINOX WILL SUPPORT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT OPERATIONS.

SPLIT FOR UTILITY OPERATIONS AND NUMBER 3 WILL BE STRATA MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS. THIS IS THE BREAKDOWN OF WHERE THE PROPOSED SPENDING ACCOUNTS BE CHARGED TO.

AND THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO MOVE TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF THESE VEHICLES.

>> COUNSEL, QUESTIONS? I AM NOT SURE WHO ASKED FOR THIS

ITEM TO BE PULLED. >> I PULLED THAT I DO HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING UP AND PRESENTING. BEING THE NEW COUNCILMEMBER I HAVE JUST A FEW QUESTIONS MAY BE YOU CAN CLEAR.

YOU MENTIONED FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY AND I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THAT LENS BECAUSE WE SHARE THAT LENS AS WELL THAT WE HAVE A FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY. I KNOW IT NINE VEHICLES FOR A CITY OF 70,000 MAY NOT SEEM THAT BIG OF A DEAL BUT PURCHASING, A MILLION DOLLARS FUNDED BY THAT IS SOMETHING WE WANT TO LOOK AT.

THE FIRST QUESTION, DO WE HAVE A PURCHASING POLICY HERE AND ROWLETT THAT WE FALL ON WHEN WE BUY A VEHICLE?

>> YES. >> DO WE HAVE A POLICY OF HOW LONG WE KEEP THAT? I KNOW WE ARE SWITCHING FROM A

LEASE MODEL TO PURCHASE MODEL. >> IS THIS IN THE CITY

REPLACEMENT PLAN? >> MOST OF THE VEHICLES WITHIN THE CITY ARE ON A 10-YEAR PLAN. SO ENTERPRISE VEHICLES ARE APPROACHING THAT RIGHT NOW. ACTUALLY, THEY ARE SIX YEARS OLD SOME OF THEM. BUT THE DECISION TO CHANGE FROM ENTERPRISE TO CITY-OWNED IS A BETTER FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENT FOR THE CITY. ENTERPRISE USES IS -- USES GOVERNMENT PURCHASING ABILITY TO PURCHASE THE VEHICLES AND THEN WHEN THEY SELL THEM WE GET A PORTION OF THOSE PROCEEDS.

BUT THAT IS WHERE THEY GET A LOT OF THE MONEY OUT OF THAT.

WE DO PAY THE LEASING FEES, MANAGEMENT FEES, AND MAINTENANCE FEES TO AUTHORIZE IT IS MORE COST-EFFECTIVE TO DO THAT IN

HOUSE. >> IF I HAD A SIX YEAR OLD CAR I

WOULD THINK IT WAS A BABY. >> SOME ARE SOME ARE NOT.

>> HOW DO YOU JUSTIFY THE PURCHASES? IF I AM AN EMPLOYEE YOU DO I HAVE TO FILL OUT SOME FORM? HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT JUSTIFYING THE NEED FOR A NEW FLEET

VEHICLE? >> THESE VEHICLES ARE BEING REPLACED SO WE CAN GET AWAY FROM THE ENTERPRISE PROGRAM.

WE HAVE 72 VEHICLES THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN THAT PROGRAM.

WE HAVE ALREADY REPLACED 14 OF THEM WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF% REPLACING 14 THIS WOULD BRING OUR TOTAL TO 24.

FOR 2026 THE PLAN IS TO REPLACE 26 OF THOSE SO WE DO HAVE A COUPLE LEFT BUT I THINK WE ARE TRYING TO GET A LITTLE BIT AHEAD OF THAT CURVE BECAUSE THE AVAILABILITY OF THE VEHICLES IS WE ARE ABLE TO GET THE RIGHT NOW.

AND THE PRICE WILL ONLY INCREASE.

IF WE CAN DO IT SOONER RATHER THAN LATER THE PLAN IS TO REPLACE THEM OVER THE NEXT FOUR YEARS BUT I THINK WE WILL TRY TO

COMPRESS THAT A LITTLE BIT. >> ARE THEY END OF LEASE IS THAT

HOW THEY ARE GOING ABOUT IT? >> REPLACING THEM AS THEY COME UP SO THE ONCE IN 2026 SOME OF THE -- SOME OF THEM IF THE LEASE ON THE VEHICLE MANY OF THESE WERE WRITTEN WITH 24 AND 48 MONTH LEASES SO IF WE DO NOT TURN THE VEHICLE BACK IN THE LEASE RENEWS FOR ANOTHER YEAR SO WE CAN KEEP THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUED TO USE IT AND CONTINUED TO MAKE THE LEASE PAYMENTS ON. SO WE ARE TAKING ONES THAT ARE EXPIRED OR ABOUT TO EXPIRE AND DOING THOSE FIRST.

WE HAVE CATEGORIZED THAT INTO THE NEXT FOUR YEARS AND PLAN TO

REPLACE THEM AS THEY EXPIRE. >> IS THERE NOT AN OPTION AT THE

END OF THE LEASE? >> IS IT FM THE -- FAIR MARKET

VALUE AT THE END OF THE LEASE? >> OBVIOUSLY THE CITIZENS WOULD

[00:35:04]

LIKE TO KNOW IS NINE THE RIGHT NUMBER.

>> NINE IS THE RIGHT NUMBER RIGHT NOW NINE FOR THE TRUCKS AND ONE FOR THE EQUINOX AS WE ARE REPLACING ALL 72.

SO AT CAPACITY WE CANNOT DO ALL 72 AT ONCE.

FROM EITHER A PURCHASING STANDPOINT OR FROM A FLEET PERSPECTIVE. THAT IS A LOT OF VEHICLES TO TAKE IT. AND THAT ALSO RETURN TO ENTERPRISE. SO TRYING TO TAKE SMALLER BITES APPROXIMATELY 10-15 AT A TIME. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF MARKING THE FIRST 14. THOSE WILL BE IN THE ROAD VERY SHORTLY. RETURNING THE 14 ENTERPRISE VEHICLES TO ENTERPRISE WITHIN THE NEXT 30 DAYS.

>> ARE THESE TAKE-HOME VEHICLES? OR DO THEY STAY IN LOTS.

>> I CANNOT SPEAK TO THAT THEY ARE ASSIGNED TO DEPARTMENTS AND I DO NOT KNOW HOW MOST OF THEM I USE.

>> MR. MANAGER DO YOU HAVE A. >> WE VERY RARELY HAVE TAKE-HOME VEHICLES. THERE ARE A FEW IN OUR FLEET AND THE VAST MAJORITY ARE NOT TAKE-HOME.

>> WHAT NECESSITATED A TAKE-HOME VEHICLE?

>> USUALLY ONLY WHEN SOMEBODY IS ON-CALL WHEN THERE IS A BENEFIT TO THE CITY SO THEY CAN RESPOND MORE EFFECTIVELY THAN WE

CONSIDER A TAKE-HOME VEHICLE. >> THANK YOU THAT MAKES SENSE.

ONE FINAL QUESTION WHEN YOU LOOK AT THESE VEHICLES DO YOU CONSIDER IT LIKE A FIRM LIKE OR DO YOU CONSIDER MAYBE WE CAN USE A SMALLER VEHICLE IF THIS IS A PROCESS OF DOING THAT RIGHT NOW?

>> THERE ARE SEVERAL USING MORE ECONOMICAL VEHICLES GOING WITH 1500 OR STEPPING DOWN FROM LARGE SUVS TO A SMALLER SUV OR FROM A PICKUP TO AN SUV AND SOME CASES.

SO TRYING TO STRATEGIZE AND BECOME STANDARD ISSUE VEHICLES FOR CERTAIN TASKS AND ECONOMIZE WHERE WE CAN.

>> THOSE OF THE QUESTIONS WE WILL GET PAST SO THANK YOU FOR STANDING UP AND ANSWERING THOSE QUESTIONS APPRECIATE IT.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. >> WHEN THE CITY DOES A FLEET DO THEY TRY TO GET VEHICLES BASICALLY THEY CAN GET THE SAME TIRES, GET BETTER PRICES ON ARMS AND STUFF?

OR DO WE JUST BUY A CHEVY? >> IN MOST CASES WE TRY TO GET SOMETHING FOR JUST THAT REASON. WE CAN ECONOMIZE ON A PARTS SINGLE SOURCE THE PARTS BUT IN SOME CASES THAT IS NOT ALWAYS GOOD. PARTS TO BECOME DIFFICULT TO GET. LIKE BRAKE PADS ON THE CHEVY TAHOE SO FOR EXAMPLE. SO THE FIRST FIVE DOES HAVE SOME BENEFITS BUT WE DO TRY TO STICK TO SINGLE MODELS IF WE CAN.

>> I KNOW IT WAS IN THE PACKET BUT I CANNOT RECALL, HOW MANY MORE DO WE HAVE WITH THE ENTERPRISE?

>> A TOTAL OF 72. >> THAT WOULD BRING US TO 24.

>> WHAT ABOUT THE NUMBER WHEN HE STARTED?

>> THANK YOU. >> COUNSEL, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

SEEING NONE I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

>> IF I COULD ASK HIM TO SWITCH BACK TO THE LAST SLIDE.

NOT THE ONE BEFORE IT. SO THAT COUNCIL CAN SEE THE MOTION WILL NEED TO HAVE THE CORRECT FIGURE JUST FOR 481-5577. THERE WAS AN ERROR ON THE AGENDA

ITEMS THIS SAID FOR 45. >> MY MISTAKE I HIT THE FIVE INSTEAD OF THE EIGHT I APOL APOLOGIZE.

>> THE PACKET HAS BEEN CORRECTED WITH THE AGENDA ITSELF HAS NOT SO WE NEED A MOTION TO CORRECT IT.

>> I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION MR. GIBBS.

>> I MAKE MOTION TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF NINE CHEVROLET 1500 PICKUP TRUCKS AND ONE CHEVROLET EQUINOX EV REPLACE ENTERPRISE VEHICLES FROM CHEVROLET.

TOTAL PRICE NOT TO EXCEED $448,155.77 IS THAT CORRECT? AND AUTHORIZED INTERIM CITY MANAGER OR HIS DESIGNEE TO

[00:40:01]

EXECUTE ALL NECESSARY DOCUMENTS TO EFFECTUATE SAID PURCHASE AND

PROVIDE AN EFFECTIVE DATE. >> WE HAVE A MOTION BY MR. GIBBS

AND SECOND? >> SECOND.

>> MOTION TO APPROVE AN AMENDED RESOLUTION.

AND EIGHT DISCUSSION. LET'S CALL THE VOTE, PLEASE.

[4.D. Consider action to authorize the award of a contract for Country Aire Estates Phase 2 Reconstruction. ]

AND THAT CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. THE NEXT WE ARE MOVING ONTO ITEM NUMBER 4D. CONSIDER ACTION TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE AWARD OF A CONTRACT FOR BID NO.

PRESENTING THIS ITEM IS BRIAN WITH ENGINEERING.

>> SO THIS IS BASICALLY. >> SORRY.

THIS ITEM IS JUST FOR QUESTIONS IS THAT CORRECT.

WHO ASKED FOR THIS ITEM? >> I DID WE DON'T NEED A PRESENTATION OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

BUT YOU KNOW 2 MILLION PLUS AN INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT AND I KNOW OUR CITIZENS YOU KNOW ARE ALWAYS INTERESTED IN WHAT WE ARE DOING TO ADDRESS OUR INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS IN OUR CITY AND I KNOW ESPECIALLY THEY WANT TO HEAR THAT.

SO I DID NOT WANT IT TO BE EMBEDDED IN A CONSENT AGENDA WHERE WE JUST PASS IT AND REALLY NOBODY UNDERSTANDS WHAT WE ARE DOING THAT IS JUST THE BASIS FOR ME PULLING IT OFF SO WE CAN HIGHLIGHT WHAT WE ARE DOING. AND A SWISS WAY I BELIEVE FOR

SOME OF THE STREETS. >> MOTION.

>> IF YOU CAN GIVE A HIGH-LEVEL OVERVIEW OF WHAT THE PROJECT

DOES. >> THIS WAS A PROJECT PRESENTED FROM THE COMMUNITY INVESTMENT ADVISORY BOARD WAY BACK IN 2021 THIS WAS A PHASED PROJECT WHERE WE HIRED MULTIPLE PEOPLE TO DO THE DESIGN WORK FOR IT FOR PHASE ONE AND PHASE NUMBER 2.

ONCE FACED NUMBER 1 WAS COMPLETE WE MADE SOME CHANGES TO THE PHASE NUMBER 2 DESIGN. JUST THINGS DURING CONSTRUCTION AND THIS IS WHERE WE ARE KIND OF AT NOW.

BASICALLY THE PROJECT ITSELF -- ITSELF IS ABOUT IT IS 7800 SQUARE YARDS OF CONCRETE PAVEMENT ALONG THE STREETS THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER. 500 FEET OF DRAINAGE PIPE.

2500 FEET OF WATER PIPE. 2300 FEET OF WASTE WATER PIPE AND THEN 2300 FEET OF ELIMINATED CONDUIT TO HELP PROVIDE ALONG

THOSE AREAS. >> THANK YOU BRIAN.

COUNSEL, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> SO I HAVE A FEW DO YOU THINK THAT THIS CONSTRUCTION OR NEW CONSTRUCTION WILL HELP ALLEVIATE

ALL OF THAT? >> THIS SHOULD BASICALLY I BELIEVE MAKE SURE THAT RATES ON THE STREET WILL LOWER DOWN SO MORE OF THE WATER WILL BE CONTAINED WITHIN THE STREETS ITSELF NOT NECESSARILY GOING ONTO PROPERTIES AS MUCH AND THAT SHOULD HELP ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE DRAINAGE ISSUES.

>> THANK YOU THAT IS GOOD NEWS. >> IF YOU WERE DRIVING UP YOU WILL SEE THE FIRST PHASE OF THAT WAS JUST A DRIVE TO THE WEST.

PROJECT KIND OF PHASE ONE. MY KIDS GO TO SCHOOL THERE NEARBY. IT WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE.

COUNCIL ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. >> SEEING NONE.

>> JUST I WOULD ASK WHAT IS THE TERM HOW LONG DO YOU ANTICIPATE THIS PROJECT TAKING FROM START TO FINISH?

IF APPROVED IN AUGUST WE WILL LOOK TO PURCHASE AND SALE OF THOSE BONDS AND HAVE DELIVERY BEFORE THE BUDGET IS ADOPTED ON DECEMBER -- SEPTEMBER 16TH.

SO THE FIRST TRENCH OF BONDS ARE THE GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS.

ORDINANCES UP TO 14.6 MILLION WHICH INCLUDES THE PROJECT APART -- DEPARTMENT. THESE ARE APPROVED PROJECTS FOR STREET AND ROAD CONSTRUCTION. THE SECOND TRANCHE OF DEBT IS FOR CERTIFICATE OBLIGATION. 2 MILLION WHICH WE STIPULATED IN THE NOTICE OF INTENT. THE NEWSPAPER NOTICE WAS PUBLISHED ON MAY 23RD AND MAY 30TH.

COUNCIL APPROVED THE ABILITY FOR US TO NOTICE THE INTENT.

THIS WILL BE SPENT ON ROAD CONSTRUCTION AS WELL AS VARIOUS PROJECTS. ARE THIRD TRANCHE OF DEBT IS FOR TAX NOTES LIKE WITH THE GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS THIS COVERS THE FUND DEPOSIT AS WELL AS THE COST ASSURANCES.

ITEMS THAT WILL BE FUNDED WITH TAX NOTES INCLUDE TWO AMBULANCES, A NUMBER OF POLICE CARS AND POLICE EQUIPMENT AND I.T. EQUIPMENT. THE ENTERPRISE'S VEHICLE REPLACEMENTS THAT WERE DISCUSSED BY MR. LAST BE.

AND SOME CIP SOFTWARE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED BY COUNCIL AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST WE HAVE WATER SUPER BONDS SO THESE ARE DECEPTIVE -- DEFINED BY THE WATER AND SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE HAVE TO SMOOTH OUT THE COST OF THE SYSTEM.

LIKE WITH TAX NOTES THE ISSUE AMOUNT IS FOR UP TO 7.4 MILLION.

THIS INCLUDES THE PROJECT DEPARTMENT THAT WE HAVE.

GIVEN THE REVENUE BONDS AND THE COST ASSURANCE.

[00:50:01]

OKAY SO WE GET TO THE PARAMETER PORTION.

WE HAVE THE FRAMEWORK BY WHICH IF IT FALLS WITHIN THIS STIPULATION THE CITY MANAGER AND FINANCE DIRECTOR WILL BE ABLE TO SIGN THE AGREEMENT TO APPROVE THE SALE ONCE COMPLETED.

SO THE INTEREST RATE IS 5.5% FOR EACH ASSURANCE AND THE MAX PRINCIPLE AMOUNT TIES TO THE PROCEEDS REQUIRED AS WELL AS COST OF INSURANCE. THE FINAL IS 20 YEARS FOR ALL WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TAX NOTES WHICH IS SEVEN YEARS, THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT ALLOWED UNDER STATE LAW AND THEN THE EXPIRATION DATE ALSO TIES TO STIPULATIONS UNDER STATE LAW.

SO TO RECAP THE TOWN FINANCE TIMELINE IF APPROVED TODAY WILL HAVE INTERAGENCY CALLS THIS WEEK TO DISCUSS THE SALE AND WE WILL MOVE FORWARD TO GET THE PRELIMINARY OFFICIAL STATEMENT AND RECEIVE THE FUNDING AND ADVANCE THE FISCAL YEAR.

AND THEN WE HAVE RECOMMENDED LANGUAGE BY COUNCIL ON THE FOLLOWING FOUR SLIDES. WITHOUT ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY

HAVE ABOUT THE UPCOMING SALE. >> COUNSEL, ANY QUESTIONS.

NO QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT, THEN, I WILL, SORRY?

>> I APPRECIATE THAT. SO THE QUESTION I REALLY HAVE IS THAT GOOD YOU GO BACK TWO OR THREE SLIDES SO KEEP GOING KEEP GOING KEEP GOING. THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY DONE RIGHT WHEN THEY CAME ON BOARD RIGHT AFTER WE HIT I'M SURE THERE IS SOME LEVELS OF UNKNOWN THERE. THIS FULL LIST OF ALL OF THESE THINGS WHERE DID WE FIND EXACTLY WHAT IS INCLUSIVE.

HOW DO WE KNOW THAT THAT INCLUDES?

>> THIS IS AN ATTACHMENT THERE IS A MORE COMPLETE ATTACHMENT THE PROJECT FUNDED OVERVIEW ATTACHED TO THE STAFF REPORT.

IT DOES OUTLINE SPECIFIC VEHICLES LIKE AMBULANCES, PATROL CARS, VARIOUS POLICE EQUIPMENT. AND I CALLED THOSE OUT BY NAME.

THE TWO VEHICLES THAT WERE ALLUDED TO IN PRIOR ITEMS SO THAT IS NOT BROKE IT OUT. AND THEN THE FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS THAT IS TO FUND THINGS LIKE HVAC.

IT WOULD BE SPENT AS NEEDED AS THE NEEDS ARISE.

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION. >> I SAID YES, AND NO AT THE SAME TIME THEY BOTH PROBABLY WOULD BE CORRECT.

JUST TO NOTE AGAIN THE SHORT TERM I HAVE BEEN ON COUNCIL HAS NOT PROVIDED US A LOT OF DEPTH HERE.

I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND ALMOST LIKE HERE IS THIS CHECK YOU KNOW AND AS YOU MEET STUFF JUST GO BUY IT SO SAYING I DON'T KNOW OR

IT. >> THIS IS PART OF A PLANNING EFFORT THAT WAS DONE SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

BY THE PRIOR COUNCIL AND PRIOR CITY MANAGER.

BACK IN 24 I BELIEVE WE LOOKED AT IN THE BUDGET THINGS THAT WE WERE PAYING FOR WITH CAPITAL LEASES.

ANOTHER FORM OF DEBT WITH THE CITY'S MAINTENANCE OPERATION RATE. AND USING OUR ONUS RATE TO PAY THEM UNDER A MORE COST-EFFECTIVE DEBT INSTRUMENT.

BUT THOSE LEASES ARE DEBT AS WELL.

AND SO THERE WAS A PLANNING EFFORT WITH COUNCIL AT THAT POINT IN TIME WHERE WE IDENTIFIED A NUMBER OF ITEMS TO MOVE OVER TO FUND THE TAX NOTES THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY FUNDED WITHIN THE CITY MAINTENANCE OPERATING BUDGET.

>> ALL RIGHT. I GUESS MY RESEARCH ON THAT.

BUT I APPRECIATE THIS. SO THANK YOU.

>> SPECIFICALLY ON THE TAX NOTES PAGE 321 OF YOUR PACKET, COUNSEL, IS WEAR THOSE ITEMS ARE LISTED.

AND BACK IN FISCAL YEAR 25 WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN ISSUED AUGUST OT 6.2 MILLION IN TAX NOTES THAT WERE ISSUED IN AUGUST OF 25 FOR THE FISCAL YEAR '26. ABOUT 3 MILLION AND THIS YEAR COUNCIL HAD ABOUT 5.5 AND THIS YEAR IT INCLUDES TWO ORDINANCES, FIVE NEW PATROL CARS, WIN THE POLICE MOTORCYCLE, ONE LINE ITEM

[00:55:07]

FOR TASERS. $500,000.

THE I.T. EQUIPMENT FOR JUST OVER $600,000.

ABOUT 2.4 MILLION FOR THE ENTERPRISE REPLACEMENT VEHICLE.

$322,000 THE OPEN SOFTWARE ENHANCEMENTS.

AND $200,000 THAT MIGHT MENTION FOR FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS.

>> THE ITEMS THAT THE MAYOR JUST RIDE OUT WAS ALSO SCREENSHOT IT ON THE CIP MEETING I BELIEVE IT WAS JULY NINTH.

AND THOSE SLIDES INDIVIDUAL ITEMS WERE ALSO LISTED IN THAT

POWERPOINT PRESENTATION. >> MR. GIBBS YOU HAVE A

QUESTION. >> I REMEMBER ASKING THEY KINDLY SAID PROJECTS THAT I APPRECIATE YOU AND THE FINANCE TEAM PUTTING THIS PRESENTATION TOGETHER AND ALSO NOTES ABOUT WHAT SPECIFICALLY WE ARE LOOKING AT FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC SO

THANK YOU. >> ROUGHLY WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN INTERFERENCE BETWEEN A CO BOND AND THE LEASE

RATE THAT WE ARE PAYING? >> WE DID NOT HAVE A LEASE RATE SINCE WE HAVE BEEN OVER THIS SO THAT WILL FLUCTUATE WITH THE CONDITIONS I CANNOT ANSWER THAT AT THIS TIME.

WHAT I WILL SAY IS WE ARE CONSOLIDATING THIS WITH OTHER ITEMS INSTEAD OF BETTING ON THINGS INDIVIDUALLY.

$400,000. WE ARE FONDLING IT TOGETHER WITH RG OH TAX AND CO'S. HELP ANCHOR THE PURCHASE.

KIND OF BENEFITING FROM ALSO SELLING THE NGO -- THAT GO BONDS

AND THE CO BONDS. >> DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO. WE ARE NOT FINANCING THESE

VEHICLES FOR 40 YEARS ARE WE? >> UNDER STATE LAW IT IS SEVEN YEARS. SO THE AG HAS TO SIGN OFF ON THIS. ADDITIONALLY SO A SEVEN YEAR DEBTS CAN HAVE AN AVERAGE LIFE OF CALL AT THREE AND A HALF YEARS. THESE TAX NOTES ARE ACTUALLY SLIGHTLY FRONTLOADED BASED ON OUR CAPACITY SO WE WILL BE PAYING IT DOWN MORE QUICKLY THAN THAT.

>> CLEARLY PREVIOUS MANAGEMENT WOULD HAVE SEEN AN ADVANTAGE TO

FINANCING. >> CAN I JUMP IN?

>> I WAS SAYING REGARDING THE INTEREST RATE FOR A LEASE VERSUS FINANCING THIS WAY OBVIOUSLY THE PREVIOUS.

>> OR YOU LEANING ON YOUR MOUSE OVER THERE?

THERE YOU GO. >> JUST TO BE CLEAR.

THE PREVIOUS MAYOR MUST HAVE MADE A DECISION THAT FINANCING THIS WEIGHT THERE IS AN ADVANTAGE TO THAT VERSUS A LEASE RATE WHICH IN MY OPINION IT MIGHT BE ABOUT 13, 15%.

SO THE ADVANTAGE TO DOING THIS IS THE SAVINGS TO THE TAXPAYERS ON A BOND A VERSUS LEASE IS THAT CORRECT?

>> IF YOU HAD TO QUALIFY THAT IT WILL BE MORE EFFICIENT I THINK ONE THING ABOUT THIS IS THE CREDIT STRUCTURE.

SO A LEASE IS NOT BACKED BY THE CITY'S TAX RATE SO IF I AM GOING TO LEND MONEY HAVING THAT APPLICATION IS A COST VERSUS A LEASE WHERE WE CAN CHOOSE TO NOT APPROPRIATE MONIES FOR.

SO GENERALLY THAT IS WELL BASIS POINTS FOR APPROPRIATION?

>> ABOUT TEN OR 14 BASIS POINTS. SO PUBLIC MARKET IS RELATED TO THE DIFFERENTIAL. AT LEAST THIS IS AND THE BENCHMARK IT I AM GETTING WAY TOO IN THE WEEDS.

>> YES, YOU ARE JUST A LITTLE BIT.

YES, SIR, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE LEASE INTEREST RATE. THIS IS A LOWER COST OPTION IT ALSO MOVES THE FUNDING FREEDOM RESOURCES FOR US TO HIRE THE

LEASING. >> AND TANGIBLY THIS TIME.

>> I WOULD SAY AS WELL THERE IS SOME OPERATIONAL THE FINCHES -- EFFICIENCIES. COLLAPSING EVERYTHING INTO OUR SEMIANNUAL DEBT PAYMENTS. LIKE A MULTITUDE OF PAYMENTS HAVING TO TRACK WITH VARIOUS FINANCING INSTITUTES SO THIS IS

[01:00:02]

AN EASIER STRUCTURE TO MANAGE FOR THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT.

>> COUNSEL, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THEN I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION AGAIN THERE ARE FOUR SEPARATE MOTIONS THAT WILL NEED TO BE MADE FOR THIS ITEM. PAGE 183 AND YOUR PACKET IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IT. THAT IS THE FIRST MOTION UP ON THE SCREEN. WILL SHOULD BY MR. BURTON.

>> I MOVED TO ADOPT THE ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF CITY OF ROWLETT GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND SERIES 2026 APPROVING ALL OTHER MATTERS RELATED THERETO.

>> MOTION TO APPROVE AND A SECOND.

[5.B. Consider action to adopt a resolution approving a Development Agreement between the City of Rowlett and Trail Creek Partners, Ltd. regarding approximately 14.87 acres of land located at 13805 Troy Road, situated in the Madison Price Survey, Abstract No. 257, Rockwall County, Texas. ]

OKAY PERFECT. NEXT WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM NUMBE.

CONSIDER ACTION TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF ROWLETT AND TRAIL CREEK PARTNERS, LTD. REGARDING APPROXIMATELY 14.87 ACRES OF LAND LOCATED AT 13805 TROY ROAD SITUATED IN THE MADISON PRICE SURVEY, ABSTRACT NO. 257, ROCKWALL COUNTY, TEXAS. MAKING THIS PRESENTATION IS.

>> GOOD EVENING, COUNSEL. AS YOU MENTIONED THE ITEM IS TO CONSIDER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS APPROXIMATELY 15 ACRES IF YOU

[01:05:02]

WILL INDULGE ME THERE ARE MULTIPLE SLIDES BUT THEY ALSO REPURPOSED. THE SLIDE IN FRONT OF YOU DEPICTS THE PROPERTY YOU CAN SEE.

15 ACRES 14.87 AND THE RED THAT YOU SEE ALONG HERE ARE THE CITY LIMITS. ADJACENT TO THIS DEVELOPMENT IS AN EXISTING SINGLE-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT.

EXISTING DEVELOPMENT AND I AM GIVING YOU SOME HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS IS THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AND IT IS ENCOMPASSED IN A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.

THEY PROPOSE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT WE ARE DISCUSSING TONIGHT IS NOT CONTAINED IT IS JUST ADJACENT TO AND WILL MIMIC THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS OF ADJACENT DEVELOPMENT. THAT BEING SAID COUNSELED THE AGREEMENT FOLLOWS THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE IT IS PROVIDING RIGHTS AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS PRIOR TO ANNEXATION.

AND THE PROPERTY RIGHT HERE THEY SUBJECT PROPERTY IS CONTAINED WITHIN THE CITY WHICH IS THE EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION AND THE PROPERTY OWNER AND THE DEVELOPER ARE LOOKING TO VOLUNTARILY ANNEX THIS PROPERTY. I WILL DIVE INTO THAT AND A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL AS WE PROGRESS FORWARD.

I MENTIONED TO YOU THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT WITH.

JASON C AND THE PERSPECTIVE OF THIS.

BASICALLY IT WILL MIRROR THE SAME GUIDELINES AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. IF I WERE TO DEPICT THAT IN ADMINISTRATION FORM THE GREEN HERE AT THE PROPOSED JURISDICTION THIS HERE IS A FIVE PHASE DEVELOPMENT.

PHASE E IS ADJACENT DEVELOPMENT. IT WOULD SHARE ACCESS AND EGRESS TO THIS PROPERTY ALONG HERE AS WELL.

AS I MENTIONED EARLIER THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 70 SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS. THE REASON I BRING THAT TO YOUR ATTENTION IS BECAUSE IT IS ADJACENT TO TRAIL E THAT HAVE THE SAME DEVELOPMENT PERMIT PROJECT.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS HE IS HERE TO ANSWER THOSE.

THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WILL DEVELOP RIGHTS UNDER CURRENT REGULATIONS. CREATES A FRAMEWORK LAND FOR US AS WE CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD. BETWEEN THE STEPS THAT WE WILL BE SEEING DOWN THE ROAD. ONE OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IS FOR THE REQUEST OF THE WASTE WATER IMPACT CREDITS. THE APPLICANT HAS INSTALLED CURRENTLY HAS A FACILITIES AGREEMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR TRAILS AT COTTONWOOD CREEK DEVELOPMENT WHERE THEY ARE SEEKING AND HAVE BEEN APPROVED FOR WASTE WATER IMPACT.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT ALSO CONTAIN THE SAME PRIVILEGE AS THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

THE CURRENT IMPACT FEE IS $1189 PER LOT AND THOSE WILL BE CREDITED SHOULD THE COUNCIL CHOOSE TO ACCEPT AND ACT UPON THIS AND ACT FAVORABLY. HOMEBUILDERS WILL RECEIVE CREDITS AGAINST THESE. SHOULD IMPACT FEES GO UP OF COURSE THAT NUMBER WILL CHANGE AND SHOULD THEY GO DOWN THAT NUMBER WILL CHANGE THROUGH IMPACT FEE UPDATES.

THE INFRASTRUCTURE HAS ALREADY BEEN CONSTRUCTED AS IT RELATES TO STREETS WATER AND WASTEWATER. THEREFORE THE PROPERTY CAN BE SERVED. THEY CONCEPT PLAN ASSOCIATED WITH THIS AND HE WILL BE SEEING THAT IN THE FUTURE.

SHOWS ACCESS TO THE SITE OFF OF TROY ROAD.

THIS IS PHASE E OFF COTTONWOOD CREEK AND YOU CAN SEE THEY SHARE COMMON ACCESS BETWEEN SUBDIVISIONS.

I'M TRYING TO MAKE MY POINT WORKOUT APOLOGIZED.

THIS RIGHT HERE IS A DETENTION FACILITY.

AND THE PURPOSE IS TO COLLECT WATER FROM THE SITE.

[01:10:04]

AND ENSURE THAT THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM IS NOT IMPACTED.

SO THAT THESE CAN ENJOY THEIR COMMON AREA ALONG HEAR WHICH WILL BE IN THE FORM OF IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN VEGETATION FOR THOSE WILL BE IDENTIFIED IN MORE DETAIL IN THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT. THERE ARE SOME COUNTER CONSIDERATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT IF YOU RECALL I JUST SHOWED ON THE MAP JOINT ROAD IS IN THE COUNTY CURRENTLY AND THAT SHOULD HAVE THE VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION SHOULDN'T THE VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION BE ACCEPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL TROY ROAD WILL HAVE TO BE ANNEXED WITH THAT ANNEXATION.

IT WILL BECOME THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CITY.

IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN 700 FEET AMONG TROY ROAD.

THIS IS A BETTER DEPICTION ON WHAT WE SEE.

THIS IS A DETENTION FACILITY. I TALKED ABOUT THIS IS THE ADJACENCY TO TROY ROAD ALONG HERE.

THEY WILL DESIGN THE SITE WITH A CONTAINED SYSTEM, SO TO SPEAK, SO IT DOES NOT IMPACT ADJACENCIES.

IT IS EASTER FOR ESPECIALLY UTILITY DISTRICT AND THEY ARE THE RETAIL WATER PROVIDER. AS MENTIONED THE OTHER UTILITIES SUCH AS WASTEWATER, CITY SEWER WORDS, AND A PORTION OF THE ROAD SHOULD THE ANNEXATION TO MOVE FORWARD.

I DO WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION PROCESS BECAUSE IT WILL GUIDE THE SCHEDULE FOR THE FUTURE COMPONENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS. ULTIMATELY THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WOULD BE ACTED UPON BY YOURSELVES AND THEN VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION. AND THIS WOULD BE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A ZONING APPLICATION WHICH IS WHY I DISCUSSED THE DEVELOPMENT. FROM A TENTATIVE SCHEDULE A WORK SESSION IS SUGGESTED ON AUGUST 17TH.

TENTATIVE SCHEDULE WITH A HEARING ON AUGUST 18TH FOR ANNEXATION. FOLLOWING THAT WOULD BE ZONING.

COUNCIL I JUST WANTED TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF AN ILLUSTRATION SHOWING HOW THIS SUBDIVISION INTEGRATES WITH THE ADJACENT DEVELOPMENT. I DISCUSSED THE KEY CONSIDERATIONS ALREADY. AND WITH THAT STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED AGREEMENT IT APPEARS TO BE AN EXTENSION OF THE EXISTING AGREEMENT PATTERN AND STAFF IS REQUESTING APPROVAL ASSOCIATED WITH THE REQUEST.

WITH THAT I WILL TRY TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS AND THE APPLICANT

IS ALSO PRESENT. >> THANK YOU.

I JUST WANT TO KIND OF BRING THIS DOWN AND SAY WHAT WE ARE DOING. THIS IS TO ANNEX A PIECE OF PROPERTY ADJACENT TO THE TRAILS OF COTTONWOOD CURRENTLY IN THE CITIES EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION.

WITH THAT AN ADDITIONAL 70 YARDS ADDED TO THE ADDITIONAL SCOPE OF THE DEVELOPMENT. AND THE CITY WOULD JUST HAVE TO UNDERGO A ZONING PROCESS THE ANNEXATION AND ZONING PROCESS THIS IS THAT FIRST STEP IN THE PROCESS, RIGHT?

>> CORRECT. THE ONLY THING.

>> THE SEWER IMPACT FEES THAT YOU MENTIONED ON THE SLIDE.

>> RIGHT. >> AND THE CAPITAL OF THE TOTAL

AMOUNT OVERALL. >> JUST WANT TO BE SURE WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST STEP IN THE PROCESS AT SOME POINT WE WILL ARRIVE AT THE ANNEXATION PRO PROCESS. SO THERE WILL BE A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED FOR AN ADDITIONAL 70 HOMES.

>> THE ONLY REASON I BRING UP THOSE TWO OTHER COMPONENTS I KNOW THEY WERE ORIGINALLY INCLUSIVE HOWEVER, WE ARE CURRENTLY DEALING WITH THE EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION THAT IS WHY ONCE THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT IS APPROVED SHOULD CITIZENS HAVE QUESTIONS RELATED TO THAT THAT IS WHERE

THE STEPS WOULD BE REQUIRED. >> COUNSEL, QUESTIONS?

ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE DEVELOPER. >> A COUPLE QUESTIONS FIRST OF ALL IS THE TOTAL PROJECT AND COTTONWOOD CREEK ALL THE WATER

PROVIDED? >> CORRECT THERE IS A 1200 LINE THAT DROPS THE PERIMETER OF THE PROPERTY AND COMES TO STONE WALL. AND IT COMES BACK DOWN.

A NEW GALLON OF A WATER TANK CONSTRUCTED IN 2018.

[01:15:09]

>> THIS WILL COMPLETE THE DEVELOPMENT, IS THAT CORRECT?

>> THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION WE HAVE ENJOYED WORKING AND ROWLETT AND IF THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTED ITSELF WE WOULD CONTINUE EXPANDING. THE HOME BUYERS THAT ARE MOVING AT THE ROWLETT REALLY ENJOYED THE CITY AND THE AMENITIES.

AND JUST FOR CONTEXT THIS IS ADJACENT TO FACE FIVE OF THE PROJECT WHICH OF COURSE IS GOING OUT OF ORDER.

IT IS THE NEXT PHASE BEING DELIVERED.

IT IS COMPLETE. AND I WAS OUT THERE IN THE SEASON. IT LOOKS FANTASTIC.

THIS 15 ACRES SPECIFICALLY AND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION SPECIFICALLY ADDED AN ADDITIONAL ACCESS POINT WHICH WAS A BIG PUBLIC SAFETY COMPONENT FOR US AND WORKING WITH THE CITY AND SAFETY IT PROVIDED ANOTHER POINT OF ACCESS WHICH WAS REALLY IMPORTANT. IT ALSO WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONTROL THE BACK DOOR. ADJACENT TO THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD. AND WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND THE NEIGHBORHOOD RATHER THAN HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE MANUFACTURING FACILITY BEING CONSTRUCTED WE WANTED TO TAKE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND THE DEVELOPMENT THERE.

THE PHASE E THAT IS COMPLETE AND READY IS ALL OF THE 40-FOOT LOTS. A PLANT OF A 30-FOOT ATTACHED STRATA OR 40-FOOT DETACHED REAR ENTRY.

AND THEN AT 16 AND 70-FOOT FRONT ENTRY.

THIS SPECIFIC PRODUCT THAT WE ARE ASKING TO ADD IN HERE BASED ON THE LAST BIT DISCLOSURE IS SELLING AT ABOUT $524,000.

TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, COUNCILMEMBER?

>> YES, IT DID AND WHEN DO YOU ANTICIPATE CONSTRUCTION ON THIS?

>> WE WILL START RIGHT AWAY. WE HAVE TO WALK TO THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. WE HAVE ALREADY MOSTLY INJURED.

SO WE WILL BE ABLE TO MOVE WITH THIS PRETTY QUICKLY.

>> THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING ROWLETT.

WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE YOU CONTINUE THE SUCCESS THAT IS ALL THAT I HAVE COUNSEL, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR EITHER STAFF OR THE DEVELOPER? SEEING NONE I WILL ENTERTAIN A

MOTION THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.
