WAY TO HELP A DOG YOU NEED. >> THANK YOU, SIR.

ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE ANYTHING THAT THEY WOULD LIKE T BRING UP OR ANNOUNCE I DON'T KNOW IF YOUR MOTHER LAST TIME W MET, I INTRODUCE YOU TO SANDY AND BRODY MCALLISTER APPEAR THERE A COUPLE THAT LIVED IN TH LOTS AND THEY ARE COMPETING IN AMERICA'S FAVOR COUPLE AND THEY ARE STILL IN THE RUNNING AND THEY ARE PROGRESSING PRETTY GOO UP THE CHAIN.

[3. Citizens’ Input]

VOTES BUT I KNOW THEY WOULD APPRECIATE THAT.

ALRIGHT. THE NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA IS CITIZENS INPUT. AT THIS TIME COMMENTS WILL BE TAKEN FROM THE AUDIENCE ON ANY TOPIC BIG NO ACTION CAN BE TAKE BY THE COUNCIL DURING CITIZENS INPUT.

I DO HAVE A NUMBER OF CARDS. THE FIRST ONE ON THE LIST IS DAVE HALL. YOU WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES AND HE WILL BE FOLLOWED BY SINATH MUTHA.

I HOPE I PRONOUNCED YOUR NAME CORRECTLY.

>> DAVE HALL, ROWLETT BURLESQUE THAT WE DISCUSSED PRODUCING THE 5050 IN-HOUSE SIDEWALK REPAIR BUDGET BY ABOUT $45,000.

SINCE THIS IS AN IN-HOUSE USE O RESOURCES, COUNTY SHALL APPLY.

SIMPLY PRODUCING AN INTERCOMPAN EXPENSE BUDGET DOES NOTHING.

TO HAVE A POSITIVE EFFECT FOR THE RESIDENCE YOU WOULD NEED TO TAKE THOSE INTERCOMPANY RESOURCES AND INSTEAD OF REPAIRING SIDEWALKS, USE THOSE RESOURCES TO FILL POTHOLES OR SOMETHING ELSE TO BENEFIT THE RESIDENTS.

OR YOU COULD REDUCE BUDGET BY $45,000.

FOR EXAMPLE, YOU CAN LEASE A BACKHOE OR TAKE A FULL-TIME EMPLOYEE AND MAKE THEM A PART-TIME PUBLIC WORKS EMPLOYEE.

.5 FTE. IT'S BEEN OVER 50 YEARS SINCE I SAT IN AN INTERMEDIATE ACCOUNTING CLASS BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THE THEORY OF REPORTING FOR INTERCOMPANY TRANSACTIONS AND CONSTRUCTION HAS CHANGED IN THE LAST HALF-CENTURY BUT I DON'T THINK THIS IS ADEQUATE EXPLAINED SO THAT THE RESIDENTS UNDERSTOOD. NEXUS STREAMING VIDEO FROM LAST NIGHT HAD A TYPICAL ISSUE WHERE CITIZEN INPUT WAS DELETED AND COULD NOT BE RECOVERED. DO NOT ALLOW US TO REPEAT THAT CITIZEN INPUT WITH THREE MINUTE ALLOCATED FOR THIS TONIGHT AS ANOTHER EXAMPLE. AND THE LACK OF TRANSPARENCY HERE IN THE GOVERNMENT. TO HELP YOU HAVE GOOD VOTES TO PREPARE THE MINUTES FOR LAST NIGHT.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, SIR.

[00:15:09]

I HOPE I PRONOUNCED THAT CORRECTLY, SINATH MUTHA.

>> NEXT WE WILL HAVE ALLEN HOGAN .

STATE YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE.

>> SINATH MUTHA. GOOD EVENING AND SOME MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS SINATH MUTHA ON I'M HOMEOWNER.

I PURCHASED MY PROPERTY FOR APPROXIMATELY $770,000 NAME HER TONIGHT BECAUSE I THINK THE CIT NEEDS TO HEAR -- BASED ON DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS PUBLICLY PRESENTED TO US.

SANFORD BAY WAS MARKETED AS A MILLION-DOLLAR PROJECT, INCLUDING A LARGE LAGOON, RESOR RESTRAINT COVER, RETAIL AND OTHER DEVELOPMENT. THESE ARE NOT MINOR FEATURES.

THEY ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE PATIENT AND FROM MY PERSPECTIVE AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE VALUE OF THE PURCHASE.

I UNDERSTAND -- I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL IMPACT.

WHEN THE PROPERTY WAS RENTED, I'VE APPROXIMATELY PERCEIVE 3000 -$3,600. INSURANCE AND MAINTENANCE AND OTHER EXPENSES. IN DECEMBER 2025 FROM OTHERS OF THE PROPERTY FOR SALE AND A PROXIMALLY $674,000.

I DIFFICULTY FINDING A BUYER. I CONTINUE TO CARRY SUBSTANTIAL EXPENSES ON THE PROPERTY. I CONTINUE TO HOLD THE PROPERTY BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS DEVELOPMENT -- AND THE PROMISE WOULD PROVIDE ECONOMIC ACTIVITY.

IN OCTOBER 22 TO 5, THE CITY ISSUED A NOTICE OF DEFAULT SOCIETY FAILURE TO [INDISCERNIBLE] ON THAT HERE TONIGHT TO ACCUSE ANYONE OF FRAUD.

I HAVE REQUESTED LEGAL COUNSEL. AT THE TIMES HOMES WERE BEING SOLD. I'M ASKING THE FOR TRANSPARENCY.

WHAT IS THE CURRENT ASSESSMENT OF THE AMENITIES, THE LAGOON, VILLAGE. BUT AS THE CITY'S PLAN IF THOSE ARE NOT COMPLETED. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY WHAT CAN THE CITY DO TO COMMUNICATE TO HOMEOWNERS WHO HAVE INVESTED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLAR BASED ON THE DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS PRESENTED TO US. I'M ASKING YOU TO RECOGNIZE THA THERE HOMEOWNERS BEHIND THIS DEVELOPMENT WHO WILL SUFFER FINANCIAL LOSSES IF THE PROJECT IS NOT REALIZED.

I ASKED CITY TO PROVIDE AS MUCH TRANSPARENCY AS POSSIBLE.

>> THANK YOU, SIR. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS ALLEN HOGAN

FOLLOWED BY LAUREN CAHALL. >> MY NAME IS ALLEN HOGAN.

I DON'T HAVE A SPEECH WRITTEN. IS COMING OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD . I HAVE LIVED IN BIG BEND ESTATE SINCE1991. WHAT ATTRACTED US TO ROWLETT WA THAT THERE WERE BEAUTIFUL HOUSE BEING BUILT.

RUCK ROAD WAS STILL A TWO LANE ROAD.

EVERYTHING WAS STARTING TO LOOK BEAUTIFUL.

I'D DRIVE OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF ICY WALLS FALLING DOWN. ICY WALLS FALL DOWN AS YOU GO T THE BAYSIDE AREA AND THERE IS ANOTHER WALL.

YOU JUST GO DOWN BELL RUCK. YOU KNOW, I'VE HEARD STORIES OF THINGS THAT THE GOVERNMENT DOES THAT JUST DRAGS ON AND DRAGS ON.

THIS IS REALLY DRAGGING ON. AND WE TRY TO BE PATIENT THINK OF WHY. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER EXCUSE.

[00:20:01]

THE NEIGHBORS ON THE CORNER, BIDS HAVING BEEN WIPED OUT AND STAFFING TO START ALL OVER AGAIN .

UTILITIES IN THE WAY WHERE DOES IT START.

LAST SPRING THAT WAS A FIRE IN THE GRASSLAND PRAISE OF THE TEXAS PANHANDLE PIN YOU PROBABL HEARD ABOUT THIS.

IT ACTUALLY BURNED A RAILROAD BRIDGE TRESTLE, ALONG TRESTLE GOT BURNED FOR THE TRAINS COULDN'T COULDN'T PASS OVER IT.

YOU KNOW THEY'VE REBUILT THAT I ONE WEEK.

REBUILT IN ONE WEEK. THAT'S A PRIVATE ENTERPRISE.

THAT'S A BURLINGTON NORTHERN TRAIN THAT REBUILT THAT.

ONE WEEK THEY WERE ABLE TO GET OUT THERE AND REBUILD THAT.

WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A SIMPLE BALL TO BE REBUILT JUST TO GET IT STARTED. THE CITY RECOGNIZES IT IS THEIR WALL AND NOT OUR WALL. WHERE DOES THIS GO.

I ONLY GOT SEVEN SECONDS. THE MEDIAN OF 66.

PICK I WOULD BE WILLING TO BET THAT THEY WILL KEEP THAT MEATY AND NICE AND PRETTY FOUR HOURS IS DYING.

THE IRRIGATION HOUSES ARE EXPOSED AND THERE'S NO WATER GOING TO IT. THERE IS WIL THREES COMING UP AND THAT IS ANOTHER SUBJECT. OUT AT 12 SECONDS.

HOW EMBARRASSING. OUTSIDE OF IT IS FALLING APART.

>> THANK YOU, SIR. LAUREN CAHALL FOLLOWED BY DIANE HUFF. STATE YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE. IF YOU NEED TO PUT A MICROPHONE ON, YOU CAN DO THAT. [INDISCERNIBLE]

CAN YOU HEAR ME? >> NO.

THE MICROPHONE IS ON. CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? [INDISCERNIBLE] [INDISCERNIBLE] [INDISCERNIBLE]

[00:25:47]

[INDISCERNIBLE] THANK YOU, MA'AM.

FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU ARE DOING IS WHAT I SAID. I AM DIANE HAP AND I LIVE IN LAKESHORE I BEEN HERE FOR 15 YEARS AND I'VE ASKED FOR MY STREETS TO BE REPAIRED. MY CONCERN NOW IS THAT I PAID T HAVE MIKE CURB EFFECTS AND I'M HOPING THAT GETS DONE.

I HAVEN'T HAD ANY RESPONSE BRITTA GAVE THEM THE MONEY I SE UP THE 50-50 PROGRAM IN THE SAM WITH THE CITY.

I'M JUST BAKING. IT'S BAD.

I LOOKED AT THE MONEY AND WHERE IT'S ALL GOING BUT THERE'S NOTHING IN THERE FOR BUDGETS FO STREET.

IS THAT SOMEWHERE ELSE, I DON'T KNOW.

SO YOU'VE GOT MY E-MAIL. I KEEP COMING TO THESE MEETINGS BUT FANCIER NEIGHBORHOODS GET FIXED FIRST.

I'VE GOT THE BIGGEST HOUSE IN THE DEVELOPMENT THAT IT IS JUST THAT BECAUSE IT IS A GHETTO. IT IS POTHOLES PRINT I'VE SENT PICTURES AND AND IT IS EXHAUSTING.

THANK YOU AND POLICE AGAIN LOOK AT MY STREET, LOOK AT MY CURBS.

IT'S REALLY A SIDEWALK. FORGET ABOUT THE CURB.

IT IS GOOD TO GO ON THE MONEY I THERE SUPPOSEDLY NOBODY HAS SEN ANYTHING OUT THERE NOBODY HAS CALLED ME AND SET I GOT YOUR MONEY. ONLY GOT A RECEIPT SO PLEASE LOOK AT THE STREETS AND MAKE SURE THAT MY SIDEWALK GETS DONE.

THANK YOU. >> THE INTERIM CITY MANAGER IS GOING TO FOLLOW UP WITH YOU, MA'AM.

>> MISS JOHNSON SPACE RONDO JOHNSON, ROWLETT BUT I WANT TO SAY SOME POSITIVES HERE. WE TALK ABOUT HER FOR PARKING LOT. THANK YOU FOR WHAT I HEARD LAST NIGHT, MR. BAUER, WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.

YOU HAVE ALL REARRANGE THINGS ABOUT ALL THE BUILDINGS THAT WERE THINKING ABOUT PUTTING THERE LOOKING AT THE PARK IN TH AMENITIES THERE. AND THEN BREE AND THAT WALKER AND THE LANDSCAPE'S ARE VERY EXCITED TO HEAR THIS AND THE FACT IS GOING TO BE DONE WITHIN A YEAR, GIVE AND TAKE, THAT IS REALLY EXCITING. I THINK IT'S GOING TO GO ALONG WAY TO HELP THE CITIZENS KNOW YOU ARE LISTENING WHEN YOU HEAR FROM A LOT OF US AND THERE'S AL KINDS OF THINGS AND YOU HAVE A LOT ON YOUR PLAY AND I APPRECIATE YOU LISTENING AND TAKING ACTION. I WAS HERE ABOUT THE ANIMAL SHELTER BUT I'M NOT INVOLVED IN THAT BUT I THINK YOUR IDEA OF SHADY ROAD IS GREAT. BUT WITH THE FIRE CHIEF SAYING LAST NIGHT THAT GOES TO DELL FRONT, I THINK THAT IS GREAT.

GOOD TO HAVE SOME BUILT IN VOLUNTEERS BECAUSE THERE ARE SENIORS LOOKING FOR THINGS TO D WITH THAT BEING SO HANDY AND I THINK THAT IS ANOTHER PLUS. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING AND FOR ACTING. I APPRECIATED.

[00:30:10]

STATE YOUR NAME AND CITY HAVE ROWS RHIZOMES.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FO YOUR TIME.

I LISTEN TO THE FOURTH SESSION LAST NIGHT THAT I CAME AWAY FEELING POSITIVE AND GRATEFUL Ú. SOME OF THE PARTIES I HEARD WHICH I REALLY APPRECIATED WHIC WERE HONORING HISTORY OF THE FAMILY AT THE PARK, KEEPING THE HOPPE FRINK, WHICH IS GREAT.

INCLUDING PUBLIC COMMENTS AND ADDRESSING COMMUNITY PRIORITIES AS PART OF THE PROCESS WAS OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR GETTING THE PROJECT DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER AND GETTING IT DONE RIGHT SO, THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE THAT.

A POSSIBLE RENDERING OF SOMETHING MY FRIEND PUT TOGETHER . OBVIOUSLY IT WAS WAY BETTER THA THAT. IN THE FINAL DESIGN, I WANTED T POINT OUT,. IT ALSO COULD PROBABLY BE USED BY MIDDLE SCHOOL JURORS AFTER SCHOOL.

AND I'M ALSO THINKING ABOUT THE AMENITIES THAT ARE MORE ATTRACTIVE, KIND OF BY MAINSTREET, SO PLAYGROUND AND THINGS LIKE THAT. THE CURRENT WALKING PATH, I WOULD LOVE TO BE REENACTED AS THE HISTORY TAIL BUT JUST TO REITERATE THAT MAY BE A HERITAG PAVILION RIGHT THERE BY THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. SO I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THOSE IDEAS WITH YOU TONIGHT ERIC I TOLD MY EIGHT-YEAR-OLD TODAY HERBERT PARK IS GOING TO BE FINISHED BEFORE YOUR TENTH BIRTHDAY AND HE SAID GOOD. IT NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE I'M TED AND I SAID WHY AND HE SAID MIGHT GET TOO OLD TO PLAY THERE.

I MIGHT NOT BE INTERESTED IN PLAYING THERE ANYMORE SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU AND THAT IMPACTS MY FAMILY AND OTHERS.

SO I'M JUST EXCITED. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, MA'AM. THE NEXT IS PATRICK MANDEL FOLLOWED BY SHANNON BANDO. IF YOU WOULD STATE YOUR NAME AN

CITY OF RESIDENCE. >> PATRICK MANDEL, ROWLETT.

ANOTHER UPDATE ON THE EVER SO SLOW WALL RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT . WE HAVE ANOTHER UNEXPECTED DELAY . UNFORTUNATELY DURING FIELD CHECKS UP THE DRAWINGS CREATED BY THE CONTRACT AND DESIGN, THE LOW BETTER SIGNIFICANT THAT -- FOUND A SIGNIFICANT ERROR AND VERIFIED THAT THE STAKE WHICH UNFORTUNATELY INVALIDATES THE CURRENT BULL AND ALLOWS COUNCIL TO REJECT ALL BIDS.

HERE WE GO AGAIN, STARTING ALL OVER.

HOW IS IT THAT THE LOWEST BID CONTRACT OR NOTICE THIS.

THE PLAN HAS BEEN ON FOR 45 DAYS , WHICH HAS NOW TAKEN PLACE AND THE BUYERS APPEAR TO BE TRANSFERRED OVER AS OF MONDAY BUT WITH 45 DAYS, THEY WOULD'VE PLENTY OF TIME TO THINK THIS AN ENSURE A SMOOTH TRANSITION. ANOTHER UNFORTUNATE SMEAR PATRIOT APPRECIATE THE TIGHT TURNAROUND ON THINGS.

SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS AN ELEVATION ERROR.

I'M HOPEFUL WE WILL GET AT LEAS THREE BIDS.

AND I CERTAINLY HOPE WE ARE NOT JUST CHOOSING THE LOWEST BID TO SAVE A BUCK. THAT'S OPEN OUR EYES AND SEE WHAT EACH CONTRACTOR IS BRINGIN TO THE TABLE LIKE MR. GIBBS HAS SET IN THE PAST, LET'S NOT GET LED INTO VOTING FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS PRESENTED AS THE BEST OPTION WITHOUT DOING OUR DUE DILIGENCE. I KNOW EFFORTS ARE IN PLACE TO INQUIRE OF THE EASEMENT SPARED ONE OF THE OWNERS IS VERY DIFFICULT TO COMMUNICATE WITH AND DOESN'T TRUST THE CITY OR HIS LEGAL PAPERWORK PLEASE PRES THE ISSUE AND GET IT RESOLVED A SOON AS POSSIBLE. ON ANOTHER NOTE EVERYONE NOTICE LAST MONDAY'S MEETING YOU APPROVED MAJOR UTILITY RATE INCREASES AS STATED EARLIER IN THE MONTH, FEES ARE DOWN 4% AND YOU'RE RAISING THEM 5% SEEMS A LITTLE OFF.

ALSO WITH THE FEES WERE UP 1% OVER ANTICIPATION BUT SOMEHOW YOU FEEL THE NEED TO RAISE OUR RATES BY 21%.

THERE ARE CERTAINLY THINGS I'M NOT AWARE OF BUT SOME OF THIS MATH IS NOT MATH THING. WITH THE CITY HAVING 23 MILLION A FORECASTED REVENUE, I HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT SOME OF THAT

[00:35:02]

SURPLUS IS FOR THE -- SO WE CAN GET A BETTER HANDLE O THE SITUATION AND THE RATES ARE ALREADY ON AN OVERTAXED COMMUNITY. WITH PROPERTY TAX AT 3-POINT 2 MILLION HIGHER THAN FORECAST, HOW ABOUT RETURNING SOME OF THA MONEY BACK TO THE HOMEOWNERS. KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO PUT IT TO A VOTE TO LOWER THEIR TAX RATE AS A RESULT OF YESTERDAY'S MEETING. WE SHOULD LOOK TO THEIR EXAMPLE.

IS UP THE SURPLUS PROPERTY ON PROPERTY TAX, MAYBE WE NEED TO THESE PROPERTY TAXES ALTOGETHER PICKED WE CAN JUST KEEP IT.

>> THANK YOU, SIR. STATE YOUR NAME AND THE CITY OF RESIDENCE. GO AHEAD.

WILL YOU START MY TIME? BACK YOUR MICROPHONE IS ON.

>> SHANNON RANDALL COMER ROWLET CURRENT ORBIT AS MANY OF YOU KNOW AND FOR THOSE UNAWARE WE HAVE YET ANOTHER SETBACK IN THE SCREEN WHILE. ANY SMALL PROGRESS MADE IS COMPLETELY UNDONE BY MASSIVE SETBACKS, LEAVING THE CITY MUCH FURTHER BEHIND FROM WHERE WE HA LEFT OFF AT THE PRIOR CITY COUNCIL MEETING. YOU KNOW THE SAYING ONE STEP FORWARD AND TWO STEPS BACK. DC CM WASTED 128K IN DESIGN AND SCOPE WASTED THREE CONTRACTORS TIME IN DELAYS AND WE SIT WITH DANGEROUS BALL FOR EVEN LONGER. CITY STAFF REBIDDING REMITTING BECAUSE SOME FURTHER DELAYS ARE FINANCIAL IMPACTS.

DC CM NEEDS TO FIX THIS. COVER THE REBIDDING COST AND START HOLDING CONTRACTORS TO TH SAME STANDARDS THEY HOLD US TAXPAYERS TO. AS A PRESIDENT OF ROWLETT THAT' BEEN COMING TO ALL THE CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS AND WHO CONSISTENTLY CONTINUES TO SEEK TRANSPARENCY FROM EACH AND EVER ONE OF YOU, I WILL BE THE ONE TODAY THAT IS TRANSPARENT WITH EVERYONE. I'D LIKE TO SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND E-MAIL SENT TO HANDFUL OF US RESIDENCE FROM CHRIS KIZZIAR. AT THE END OF YOUR E-MAIL YOU STATED ON A POSITIVE NOTE OUR EFFORTS TO ACQUIRE THE NECESSAR EASEMENTS ARE PROGRESSING WELL AND ARE NOT EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE SCHEDULE OR SCOPE OF THE PROJECT.

THIS INFORMATION IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE.

WE REACHED OUT TO MICHAEL, WHAT BLACK MAN CONSULTING SERVICES, THE COMPANY HE WAS HIRED BY THE CITY OF ROWLETT TO ATTAIN THESE EASEMENTS AND DO TITLE RESEARCH AND CONFIRMED VIA E-MAIL HE IS STILL UNSUCCESSFUL WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER.

ADDRESSING NEIGHBORS AND PROVIDING THIS INFORMATION IS SIMPLY NOT ACCEPTABLE. SO I ASK YOU IF IT REALLY THAT HARD TO BE TRANSPARENT AND HELP THE TRUTH?

>> THANK YOU, MA'AM. [APPLAUSE] THAT IS ALL THE CITIZENS INPUT CARDS I HAVE TONIGHT PETE IF YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK, WHICH IS ASK YOU TO FILL OUT A CARD AT THE BACK TABLE TO MY RIGHT. SEEING NUNCA WE WILL GO AHEAD

ABSENT. THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA, CONSIDER ACTION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION REJECTING THE BIDS RECEIVED IN RESPONSE TO BID NUMBER 2026-74-B, LAKE BENDA STATE SCREENING WHILE PROJECT AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

AND BRIAN WILL BE PRESENTING FO US.

>> THE PURPOSE OF THIS ITEM IS TO PROJECT THE BIDS IN RESPONSE TO THE LAKE BEND ESTATE SCREENING WALL AND EFFORT TO REBID THIS PROJECT PAGES TO GIV BACKGROUND, THE CITY MANAGER APPROVED PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR THE THE ASSESSMEN PROJECT, WHICH COVERED ALL OF THE WALLS ALONG BELL ROCK AND MILLER ROAD, ET CETERA. AND FROM THAT, THEY PULLED OUT AND WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE SIGN FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THA SCREENING WALL IN FEBRUARY OF 2026.

THE PROJECT IS APPROXIMATELY 1560 AND ASSOCIATED AS WELL AS THOSE-TO MAKE THIS IMPROVEMENT. AND FOR THE PROJECT UPDATE, WE START THE BIDDING PROCESS BACK IN EARLY JULY.

AND IT WAS DURING THIS TIME THA OUR CONSULTANT DISCOVERED A GRADING ISSUE BUT IMPACTED ALL THE PROFILE SHOOTS.

I HAVE A GRAPHIC HERE TO BRIEFL EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED.

WHEN THEY CREATED THE EXISTING GROUND SURFACE IN THE SOFTWARE THAT THEY -- DATA POINTS FROM THE TOP OF THE SCREEN WERE INADVERTENTLY INCLUDED IN THAT SURFACE, WHICH CAUSE THAT SURFACE OF THE WALL IS GOING IN THE SAME SPOT AS TH EXISTING WALL AND IT CAUSED IT TO -- THE SOFTWARE TO HAVE THE EXISTING SPEED UP UP UP AT THE ACTUAL GROUND SURFACE WAS. AND THAT RESULTED IN THE WHOLE PROFILE OF THE WALL TO BE SHIFTED UP HIGHER.

AND STUFF REVIEWED AND DECIDED TO JUST REVIEW THE BIDDING PROCESS WITH UPDATE PLANS BUT THOSE PLANS HAVE BEEN ALREADY CRAFTED. THOSE DESIGNATIONS ARE ALL PREPARED. AND WE ARE GOING TO BE USING A 15 DAY MINIMUM PROCUREMENT TYPE SO WE WILL BE ABLE TO HELP A PUBLIC OPENING ON SEPTEMBER 3 AND THEN WE WILL REVIEW AND MOV ON SEPTEMBER 15 AND FROM THERE WE WILL BE AT THE CONSTRUCTION SOMETIME EARLY OCTOBER AND THE PROJECT HAS 120 DAYS COMPLETION TIME AND ON THE FINAL CLOSEOUT WILL BE SOMETIME IN MARCH.

JUST AS WELL THE OTHER UPDATES, ENCORE HAS BEEN MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT RELOCATION AND THAT I EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED HERE QUICKLY. I KNOW THE HOT WEATHER HAS SLOWED THINGS DOWN A LITTLE BIT BUT IT IS EXPECTED TO BE DONE FAIRLY QUICK. AND PUT THE LAST BITS OF EASEMENT, THREE OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS HALF AGREED FOR SIGNED DOCUMENTS ON THE OTHER TWO.

WERE WORKING TO COMMUNICATE WIT THEM AND HELP FACILITATE MOVING THAT FORWARD. IT IS EXPECTED WE SHOULD BE ABL TO HAVE EVERYTHING ALTOGETHER'S BY THE TIME WE ACTUALLY MOVE

[01:00:01]

FORWARD WITH CONSTRUCTION, EVERYTHING SHOULD BE COMPLETE.

AND SO THERE FOR, WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT WE MOVE TO REJECT THE BIDS IN THAT WAY WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THE REBUILDING PROCESS. MAY ALSO HAVE RICHARD.

>> THANK YOU. I WAS GOING TO ASK THAT BEFORE WE MAKE COMMENTS OR ASK QUESTIONS, I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE THE GENTLEMAN TO COME. I KNOW BRIAN PRESENT THAT THIS BUT IF YOU WOULD IN YOUR OWN WORDS, JUST SAY WHAT HAPPENED AND WHY IT HAPPENED IN PART DOING.

>> MOST DEFINITELY. MY NAME IS RICHARD AND I'M A CORPORATE VICE PRESIDENT WITH DCC M CM.

I'M THE -- AWARDED THIS BUT TO A CONTRACTO COME APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME BEFORE YOU AND NOT MAKE EXCUSES FOR ANYTHING. SO THANK YOU, INTERIM CITY MANAGER AND RESIDENTS BUT I FEE YOUR PAIN I'M HERE TO SPEAK TO IT AND I FEEL THE PAIN OF THE MAYOR AND I WILL BE DROPPING OF MY DAUGHTER AT TEXAS TECH SO I'LL BE CRYING THIS WEEKEND AS WELL. BUT LET ME GET TO YOUR QUESTION.

I'M ONLY AS GOOD AS THE INFORMATION THAT YOU PUT INTO IT . OUR SURVEYOR DID A REALLY GOOD JOB OF SURVEYING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE WALLS AND UNEXPECTEDLY COME I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS DONE. WE ACTUALLY SURVEYED THE TOPS O THE COLUMNS OF THE EXISTING WAL AND IN THE SOFTWARE AND THE PROGRAM THAT WE USE, THOSE POINTS WERE TURNED OFF SO WE DIDN'T SEE THEM SO WE DEVELOPED A MODEL TO DEVELOP THE EXISTING PROFILE OF THE NATURAL GROUND SURFACE AND AUTOCAD MODEL FACTORED IN THE TOP ELEVATION O THE WALL, WHICH SHOULD'VE BEEN EXCLUDED. WE HAVE MEASURES THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN IN PLACE TO HAVE CAUGHT THIS AND WE DIDN'T.

THE CONTRACTOR DID CATCH IT AND WE REDID OUR DESIGN FOR THE PROFILE IN LESS THAN A WEEK PRETTY GOT EVERYTHING READY TO GO. THIS DID NOT AFFECT THE STRUCTURAL DETAILS OR COMPONENT OF THE WALL THAT DESIGNED ITSEL IT STILL IS THE SAME AND BROTHE BUT THIS DID IS SHIFTED AND KIN OF WEIRD ON THE WALL AND PROFIL OF EXISTING GROUND ARE SHOWN IN JUST CHANGING ELEVATION LABELS, HOWEVER SINCE THE MODEL TOOK INTO ACCOUNT THE ELEVATIONS OF THE TOP OF THE COLUMNS, THERE WAS SOME UNDULATION IN THAT SURFACE OF THE NATURAL GROUND THAT WE DESIGNED AROUND. SO WE CAUGHT THAT REDID THE MODEL AND CROSSCHECK IT AND IT IS A MUCH SMOOTHER PROFILE WHIC MAKES SENSE AS PART OF THE TEAM. SO WHAT THE RESULT IS IS PROFIL THAT MATCHES THE GROUND THAT WA OUT THERE.

IT'S NOT UNDULATING AS MUCH WIT THE LONGITUDINAL GRADES OF THE GREAT BEING SO IT'S GOING TO BE IN MY ESTIMATION EASIER TO CONSTRUCT FOR A CONTRACTOR, THE CONTRACTORS ARE ANOTHER THING SEEN THIS PROJECT, THEY ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL THE QUANTITIE THAT ARE THE SAME OF THE STRUCTURE DETAILS OF THE SAME.

IT'S REALLY THE ELEVATION OF TH PROFILE.

THROUGH SOME VALUED ENGINEERING CENTER WERE NOT AS MANY UNDULATIONS, WE WERE ABLE TO LESSEN THE DEPTH OF THE GREAT BEING. WE HAD INCREASED IT SLIGHTLY BECAUSE THE UNDULATION TO KIND TO MATCH THE GROUND SO WE DIDN' HAVE SO MANY STAIRSTEP SO WE AR ABLE TO REDUCE THE DEPTH OF THE GREEN BEAM, SO THE QUANTITIES WERE A LITTLE LESS SO IF EVERYTHING WAS BID TO THE UNIT PRICING THAT WE RECEIVED, IT WOULD BE -- WE ARE NOT WORRY ABOUT COSTS NECESSARY. AGAIN I WANT TO APOLOGIZE TO TH RESIDENCE, THE INTERIM CITY MANAGER AND THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT THAT IS PRESSED UPON US AND OUR FIRM AND THE PRIORIT AT THIS PROJECT AND IT WAS AN OVERSIGHT WE'VE TAKEN BUT WE COULD AS QUICKLY TO GET IT RECTIFIED AND PLAN TO HELP OUT

IN ANY WAY AS WE MOVE FORWARD. >> I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE YOUR HONESTY. WE APPRECIATE YOU COMING IN AND VISITING WITH US TONIGHT. I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT ONE

THAT YOU DAMAGED OUR REPUTATION. >> I DAMAGED MY OWN REPUTATION AND YOURS. AND THEN THE QUESTION, THE FOLLOW-UP QUESTION IS HOW CAN W EVER HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOU AGAIN. I'VE NEVER HAD A MISTAKE LIKE THIS IN MY 30 PLUS YEARS OF ENGINEERING AND IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT IT TOOK PLACE IN SUCH A PRIORITY PROJECT FOR THE CITY OF ROWLETT AND I'VE COMPLETED THREE OF THE PROJECTS WHERE I WAS THE ENGINEER OF RECORD FOR THE CITY OF ROWLETT

[01:05:05]

WITH NO ISSUES, SUCCESSFUL PROJECTS.

AREATA WHO NOW WORKS FOR THE CITY KNOWS MY EXPERIENCE OF EVERYTHING THAT I'VE DESIGNED FOR COLLIN COUNTY.

I'VE HELPED HIM THROUGHOUT ALL THE PROJECTS AND YOU CAN CALL ANY PREFERENCE THAT I HAVE HAD AND THEY WILL HAVE GREAT THINGS TO SAY ABOUT ME. MY ENGINEERING FIRM IS ETHICAL AND I AM TRANSPARENT. I OVERCLOCK SOMETHING THAT I THOUGHT MY DESIGN TEAM HAD LOOKED AT AND IT IS ON ME.

I SIGNED IT. >> I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THAT FIT MANY OF US HAVE HAD TO SAY THE VERY SAY THOUGH SAME THING BUT MISTAKES AND ERRORS AND ERRORS AND OMISSIONS THAT OCCUR.

I AM JUST NOT SURE OF THE FINANCIAL DAMAGE THAT MIGHT BE HERE BUT IT DOES CONCERN ME THA WE ARE STARTING ALL OVER.

IT IS NOT A FRESH START. IT THERE IS NEVER A FRESH START.

WE ARE DOING THE BEST WE CAN. SO AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR COMING.

WE ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THI PROJECT.

>> CAN I MAKE ANOTHER COMMENT? >> BUT I ALWAYS DO PUT PROJECTS LIKE THIS AS I LOOK OUT TO TRUSTED CONTRACTORS THAT AN OAT CAN DO THE WORK AT AND I KNOW THREE CONTRACTORS THAT I BID THIS PROJECT BUT I'M GOING TO REACH OUT TO EAT THEM PERSONALL AND TALK ABOUT THIS AND BASICALLY EXCHANGE -- TELL THEM THE CHANGES ON IT'S NOT MATERIAL CHANGES.

IT'S IN, IN MY OPINION, A BETTE PRODUCT, LESS CHANGES IN ELEVATION THAN THEY WERE PLANNING ON.

SO I WILL DO IT WITH YOU MY POWER TO ITS APPELLATE STATE TH PROCESS AND HELP YOU GET EVEN BETTER BIDS.

>> WE WILL GET BACK ON TRACK AN STAY ON TRACK BUT I KNOW BRIAN GAVE YOU A TIMELINE BUT WE DO NOT CONTROL THE WEATHER AND SO WE ARE ENJOYING, I DON'T KNOW I IT'S THE RIGHT WORD ENJOYING RIGHT NOW. BY THE TIME WE GET INTO THE FAL AND GET INTO OUR GENERAL FOR AN TYPE OF THE SEASON, THAT WILL PROBABLY IMPACT THE PROGRESS OF WE JUST NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR

THAT. >> ANY OTHER COMMENTS?

>> JUST FOR CLARITY, MY SIDE OF STOP ALWAYS ENDS UP ON THE ECONOMIC SIDE, COST FACTOR JUST FOR CLARITY.

THERE'S NOT ANY ADDITIONAL COST OF THE CITY FOR THE REEVALUATIO AND CHANGE WHATEVER YOU'RE MAKING FOR THAT COST.

THERE'S NOTE CHARGE THE CITY OF ROWLETT, CORRECT.

>> WE BASICALLY WORKED ON THIS 24 HOURS A DAY AND GET OBVIOUSL DOES ARE MISTAKEN IT IS THAT OU COST.

WERE NOT GOING TO CHARGE ANYTHING ELSE OR REQUEST ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR REBIDDING. AND EXITED TO FIND SOME VALUE ENGINEERING TO SAVE SOME COST I THE REBID BUT I CANNOT CONTROL BUT THE CONTRACTORS DO AND HOPEFULLY THEY SEE IT AS MAY BE SIMPLER WALL TO CONSTRUCT BASED ON WHAT WAS DRAWN BEFORE AND BOUGHT A STRONG NOW AND AND WE RECEIVE EVEN BETTER BIDS.

ANOTHER UPSET THEIR REBIDDING THIS BUT THOSE OF THE STEPS THA I WILL TAKE TO REACH OUT TO THE AND EXPLAIN THE SITUATION TO TH BEST OF MY ABILITY. WE HAVE NOT REQUESTED ANY OR AR NOT GOING TO REQUEST ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDING.

>> ALRIGHT, THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHER COMMENTS?

>> I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION AS THE MOTION TO INCLUDE LANGUAGE -- SPECIFICALLY MOVING FOR RESOLUTION IN REJECTING THE BID AND A YES VOTE WILL BE TO REJECT . SO I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

I SEE A MOTION MADE BY COUNCILMAN HOLSTON.

>> I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE REJECT THE BIDS.

I'M SORRY. >> THE APPLICANT IS ALSO HERE

ANYBODY THAT WISHES TO SPEAK. GO AHEAD, MA'AM.

>> HELLO. >> PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND

CITY OF RESIDENCE. >> MY NAME IS PAMELA SPECTOR AN I'M A RESIDENT OF ROWLETT. I'VE BEEN HERE FOR 15 YEARS.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE PUT UP WITH. MY NAME IS PAMELA SPECTOR AND I'M ASKING FOR YOUR SUPPORT. I'VE BEEN A PROFESSIONAL BODY PURSUE FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS AND A ROWLETT PRESIDENT FOR 15 AND I DECIDED TO OPEN MY OWN STUDIO AND INVEST IN MY OWN COMMUNITY. IT IS AN UPSCALE PROFESSIONAL H

[01:15:01]

OPERATED PIERCING ENTITIES STUDIO WITH HIGH QUALITY BODY JEWELRY AND CURATED RETAIL. OUR CLIENTS ARE PROFESSIONALS AND PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS AN FAMILIES, BUT THAT THEY ARE COMING IN FOR THEIR CHILD'S FIRST EAR PIERCING, CUSTOM TATTOO ARE A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF FINE SHALL BECOME OBESE OR PEOPLE WHO VALUE SAFETY AND COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT.

PLANNING AND ZONING REVIEWED OU REQUEST AND RECOMMENDED APPROVA AND ARE TRANSFORMING AN EXISTIN SPACE GREEN JOBS AND BRINGING NEW CUSTOMERS IN. AND FOUR IS MY HOME AND I WANT TO CONTRIBUTE TO A VIBRANT COMMUNITY THAT ATTRACTS YOUNG FAMILIES, SUPPORTS LOCAL BUSINESSES, AND GIVES PEOPLE MORE PLACES TO CHOOSE ROWLETT AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT YOU VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE SPECIAL US PERMIT AND I DO HAVE A SMALL POWERPOINT, IF THAT IS OKAY. THIS ONE.

>> OUT THIS IS ME. I HAVE BEEN PIERCING FOR 30 YEARS AND I MY MOM AND MENTOR AND A 15 YEAR ROWLETT CITIZEN.

I AM A MENTOR AND A TEACHER OF SAFE PIERCING AND I HAVE INSTRUCTED CLASSES AS WELL AS INDIVIDUALS AND I ATTEND CONFERENCES INTERNATIONALLY TO KEEP ALL OF THE SAFETY STANDARD AS BEST IT CAN BE. WE ACTUALLY SURPASSED THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH WHEN IT COMES TO OUR HEALTH AND SAFETY.

MOST OF OUR DURATIONS AND PIERCINGS ARE IN FINE JEWELRY.

YELLOW GOLD, WHITE GOLD, 14-18 KARAT AS WELL AS DIAMONDS AND SAPPHIRES BID WE HAVE A LARGE VARIETY OF JEWELRY THAT NOBODY ELSE IN ROWLETT CARRIES. THIS IS THE STUDIO CURRENTLY AN WE ARE NOT LOOKING TO REDO YOU PAGE YOU CAN SEE THE EXAMPLES O THE WALL. THAT WILL LEAD INTO MY NEXT ITE AND WHAT I HAVE MOCKED INTO BUTTER STUDIO WILL LOOK LIKE.

WE ARE GOING TO BE VERY HIGH-END , VERY MEDIEVAL VICTORIAN AND WE ALREADY HAVE THIS DISPLAY CASE, THE GILDED FRAMES ALL OVER THE FALLS IT WILL DEFINITELY BE A DESTINATIO FOR PEOPLE TO COME TEETH TO GET ANY TYPE OF BODY ART BID THIS I THE AREA FOR THE TATTOO STATIONS .

WILL ALSO OFFER PRIVACY IF THEY WISH FOR PRIVACY SCREENS.

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE PIERCING BROOME BUT IT IS VERY PRIVATE AND LARGE SO PEOPLE COM IN WITH THEIR FAMILIES MOST OFTEN OR IF SOMEONE IS HAVING A BIRTHDAY, THEY BRING THEIR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS TO WATCH S THIS GIVES THEM A LARGENESS FOR SAFETY AND WE HAVE A BIOHAZARD ROOM CONNECTED TO THIS SPACE SO ANY TIME A BIOHAZARD GOES CHAIR DIRECTLY INTO THAT ROOM.

SO IF THERE IS A VIDEO, IT MIGH NOT COME UP ON HERE AND I HAD A VIDEO OF A CHILD GETTING. WITH THE PIERCING AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE EVER SEEN THAT HAPPEN BUT IT IS VERY TRAUMATIC FOR CHILDREN SO WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT IS THAT MANY STUDIOS PACK AS MANY ARTISTS INTO THE SPACE AS POSSIBLE AND THEIR CLIENTS ARE TREATED AS NUMBERS AND NOT PEOPLE.

WE UNDERSTAND MANY FIRST TIMERS COME IN WITH NERVES AND FEAR OF JUDGMENT. WE ARE HERE FOR THEM.

CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS ARE OUR PRIORITY ALONG WITH SAFETY AND BEING A LONG-TERM MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATION OF PROFESSIONAL.

SERVERS, ALSO KNOWN AS APP, WE GO BEYOND WHAT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT REQUIRES. THIS WAS A VIDEO AND IT MIGHT STILL WORK, SHOWING A CHILD GETTING PIERCED WITH AIR GUNS AND CROSS-CONTAMINATION AND CREATE THE -- AND AFTERCARE. LET'S SEE IF IT WILL PARK.

THIS VIDEO IS NOT WORKING EITHER .

THIS IS A VIDEO OF US PIERCING MINOR AND WE ARE VERY GOOD WITH CHILDREN. WHEN WE PURCHASE CHILDREN'S EAR COUPLE WE HAVE TWO PROFESSIONAL AT THE SAME TIME AND NEVER DO I WITHOUT THE CHILD'S CONSENT. OUR CHILDREN'S EAR PIERCINGS RANGE FROM AGE 5--10 FOR TANDEM AND OUR TEENAGE PIERCINGS WITH CONSENT AND WE HAVE STRICT IDENTIFICATION 14-16 AND HIGHER.

AGAIN, VERY STRICT WITH WHAT THEY ARE ALLOWED TO GET US MINORS. MOST OF ALL OUR CLIENTS ARE ADULTS, PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS .

THEY ALL COME AT THE BEAUTIFUL STORY AND WE FORM SPECIAL BONDS WITH THEM. THESE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF THE TATTOOS A LOT OF TATTOOS THESE DAYS ARE TO MEMORIZE FAMILY BONDING AND CONNECTIONS BETWEEN PEOPLE AND IS NOT JUST SAILORS ANYMORE. SO EVERYONE COMES IN, COMES IN WITH AN IDEA AND FEAR AND EXCITEMENT AND ARE HAPPIER WHEN THEY CAME IN. THESE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF RETAIL, FINE SILVER AND STONES, CANDLES, AND TRILLIONS THAT WE WILL BE SELLING SO WE WILL HAVE A SMALL GIFT SHOP.

THIS IS THE MOCKUP OF THE FRONT. WE WILL HOPEFULLY HAVE A VERY NICE SIGN ONCE WE GET APPROVED AND AN AWNING AND IT WILL BE VERY EXCITING. WE PLAN TO OFFER, MY WORDS ARE STARTING TO FAIL ME NOW. FUND OFFER --

[01:20:04]

BACK TO SCHOOL AND TOYS FOR TOT DURING CHRISTMAS.

I HAVE A STUDIO IN FARMERS BRANCH WE DO THINGS FOR OUR CIT LIBRARIES WHERE WE RAISE MONEY FOR LIBRARIES AND RAISE MONEY FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION AND WE ALSO PLAN TO DO THAT HERE AT TH STUDIO IN ROWLETT. THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. YOU HAVE TO QUESTIONS FOR ME?

>> THANK YOU. OTHER COMMENTS? IT IS 8:21. IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT WOUL

LIKE TO MAKE A PUBLIC COMMENT? >> THIS IS SAMANTHA.

MY FIRST ARTIST AND FOUNDING MEMBER OF CROWN AND CURRY AU.

JUST BE ONE A CONTEST. >> YOU HAVE TO FORGIVE ME.

WE HAD 600 PEOPLE ADDITION AND 200 WERE INVITED TO SING IN VEGAS, 46 OF WHICH WERE FROM TH STATE OF TEXAS.

MY VOICE IS A LITTLE TIRED. TATTOOS ARE SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST TATTOOS. THEY TELL STORIES AND THEY HEAL BECAUSE OF TATTOO ARTIST, I'VE DONE MY FAIR SHARE OF SILLY TATTOOS. I DO MEAN THE MEMORIAL TATTOOS.

I MAKE PEOPLE FEEL MORE CONFIDENT IN THEIR BODIES AND I'VE EVEN HAD CLIENTS GO AS FAR AS TELLING ME THAT I HAVE CHANGED THEIR LIVES. MOST ARTISTS CARE ONLY FOR MONE AND GETTING AS MANY PEOPLE IN AND OUT OF THE CHAIR AS THEY CAN . MY PRETTIEST MAKE MY CLIENTS FEEL SAFE AND VALIDATED. SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT TO ME BOTH PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL APPEAR BEYOND THE ARTWORK I STRIVE TO BEING CONNECTION. IT MIGHT BE SILLY BUT I KEPT MY CLIENTS LOLLIPOPS AND GOALS NOR NO STARS.

I WANT TO BRING JOY AND COMPASSION INTO THEIR LIVES.

>> THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? ALRIGHT. IT IS 8:23 AND WE WILL NOW CLOS THE PUBLIC HEARING AND I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
