SO HIS WIFE, STEPHANIE AND HUDSON ARE GONNA PIN HIS BADGE, HIS SON.
SO COME ON UP IF IT GETS STUCK, JUST KEEP PUSHING
AND THEN FINALLY, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE TONIGHT CAMILLA CABELLO, AND SHE'S OUR NEW CRIME VICTIM ADVOCATE.
SHE'S VERY EXCITED TO BE HERE AND, AND HAS BEEN WELCOMED BY EVERYONE.
SHE WAS BORN AND RAISED IN PUERTO RICO AND CAME TO THE US IN 2006 TO COMPLETE HER BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE WITH A MINOR IN SOCIOLOGY.
IN 2008, SHE MOVED TO TEXAS AND BEGAN HER CAREER WITH CPS AS A SEXUAL ABUSE INVESTIGATOR.
IT WAS DURING THAT TIME THAT SHE DEVELOPED A STRONG PASSION TO ADVOCATE AND PROTECT THE VOICELESS AND MOST VULNERABLE MEMBERS OF OUR SOCIETY.
CAMILLA HAS BEEN MARRIED FOR 23 YEARS TO HER HIGH SCHOOL BEST FRIEND EDUARDO, AND THEY HAVE THREE MAGNIFICENT CHILDREN, ERICA, LAURA, AND MIGUEL, AND A STEPDAUGHTER VERONICA.
IN ADDITION, THEY HAVE MISCHIEVOUS GREAT PYRENEES, PIT BULL NAMED GHOST AND, UH, WHITE LAB MESSY, WHO IS OBSESSED, OBSESSED WITH ANY PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ONE CAN PROVIDE.
SHE'S A GRANDMOTHER TO 2-YEAR-OLD TATE, WHO IS THE LIGHT OF HER LIFE AND KEEPS HER ON HER TOES EVERY WEEKEND.
AND THEN FINALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE TWO CITIZENS.
ON JANUARY 22ND, 2025, AT APPROXIMATELY 11 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING, ONE OF OUR POLICE OFFICERS WAS INVOLVED IN A PHYSICAL ALTERCATION WITH A SUSPECT IN THE 4,100 BLOCK OF FARM TO MARKET ROAD 4 28.
THE SUSPECT HAD BEEN OBSERVED DRIVING RECKLESSLY ON WEST SHERMAN DRIVE IN MAIN STREET AND AUBREY, WHICH IS AN AREA HEAVILY TRAFFICKED BY RESIDENTS AND COMMERCIAL VEHICLES.
THE SUSPECT WAS OBSERVED TRAVELING AT DANGEROUS SPEEDS, PLACING MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE IN DANGER.
THE SUSPECT FAILED TO PULL OVER FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, THEN DECIDED TO STOP AND EXIT HIS VEHICLE.
AFTER THE INITIAL CONTACT WITH HIS SUBJECT, THE SUSPECT DECIDED TO GET BACK INTO HIS VEHICLE.
AND THAT'S WHEN THE OFFICER REALIZED THAT HE HAD TO DO SOMETHING TO KEEP HIM FROM GETTING BACK IN HIS CAR.
HIS MAIN TWO CONCERNS WERE IF HE HAD A WEAPON IN THE VEHICLE, OR IF HE WOULD GET BACK ON THE ROAD AND CONTINUE TO PUT INNOCENT PEOPLE IN DANGER.
[00:20:01]
SO HE ENGAGED WITH THE SUSPECT ALONE ON 4 28 FAR WEST INTO TOWN, TWO CITIZENS DRIVING PAST MR. KURT STROM AND MR. RICKY GRAY STOPPED TO INQUIRE IF HE NEEDED ASSISTANCE.AND WITH THEIR ASSISTANCE, THEY WERE ABLE TO REMOVE THE SUSPECT FROM THE VEHICLE AND PLACE ONE HAND IN A HANDCUFF.
BUT THE SUSPECT CONTINUED TO RESIST.
IT WAS NOT UNTIL SEVERAL POLICE OFFICERS ARRIVED THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO SAFELY SECURE THE SUSPECT.
OFFICER MUSA, WHO WAS THE OFFICER BY HIMSELF, AND THESE TWO GENTLEMEN CAME TO HIS AID, SAID, DUE TO THE COURAGE, FEARLESSNESS, AND BRAVERY OF MR. STROM AND MR. GRAY, HE WAS ABLE TO GO HOME THAT NIGHT WITH NO INJURIES AND THE SUSPECT WAS UNABLE TO ESCAPE AND POSSIBLY INJURE PEOPLE.
SO I'M VERY PROUD TO ASK MR. HARA AND MR. GRAY TO COME FORWARD.
AND THAT CONCLUDES PART ONE OF MY PRESENTATION.
I GUESS I COULD WAIT TILL NEXT MONTH, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY CHIEFS GONNA HAVE NEXT MONTH.
SO,
HE HAS OVER 40 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN MUNICIPAL UTILITIES AND MANAGEMENT.
HE HAS MANAGED SURFACE WATER TREATMENT PLANTS, WATER WELL PRODUCTION OPERATIONS, WASTEWATER TREATMENT METER SERVICES, A MUNICIPAL LABORATORY, AND ANY OTHER DEPARTMENT THAT NEEDED HELP.
AND HE OWNS A TCQ CLASS, A WATER OPERATOR LICENSE.
HE IS A BOARD MEMBER OF THE OMA LAND WATER UTILITIES ASSOCIATION AND HAS BEEN TRAINING WATER AND WASTEWATER OPERATORS FOR THE, UH, LARGEST PART OF HIS CAREER.
HE ENJOYS WORKING, TEACHING, SPENDING TIME WITH HIS GRANDKIDS, AND MAYBE A LITTLE HIGH TECH BINGO MACHINING
UH, WANNA WELCOME HIM TO OUR TEAM.
CHARLES WANTED ME TO LET YOU KNOW HOW MANY PROJECTS I HANDED HIM, UH, MONDAY AND I THINK IT WAS 65.
[Citizen Input]
ALL RIGHT, CITIZEN INPUT.UH, CITIZEN MAY SPEAK ON ANY ITEMS THAT'S LISTED, UH, ON THE AGENDA, UM, EITHER NOW OR WAIT TILL THAT AGENDA ITEM.
UH, WE WILL START WITH THIS LIST.
UH, HAVE A LOT OF READING TONIGHT.
I HAVE A BUNCH OF EMAILS THAT WERE SENT IN TO BE READ TONIGHT, BUT WE'LL START WITH THE THREE WHO ARE HERE.
CHRIS WELSH, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK NOW OR WAIT UNTIL I'LL WAIT.
UH, BUD AND BRENDA, WE'LL WAIT.
FIRST WE HAVE, UH, FROM DARLA WOOD.
UH, I WAS UNABLE TO ATTEND THE MEETING LAST MONTH.
I WANNA MAKE SURE, EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT THERE, YOU'RE AWARE I DO NOT SUPPORT THIS IDEA, NOR DO MY SEVEN HAIRSTYLIST THAT RENT BOOTHS AT MY SALON.
THIS IS VERY TIME CONSUMING, COSTLY FOR ALL OF US, AS WELL AS ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD HAVE AN ADDRESS CHANGE.
KEEP IN MIND ALL ITEMS SUCH AS DEED SALON, LICENSE, TDLR, LICENSE, ELECTRIC, A DT, SALON, SOFTWARE, SALES TAX PERMITS, WEBSITES, SOCIAL MEDIA, BANK ACCOUNTS, BUSINESS CARDS, GIFT CARDS, INSURANCE, CREDIT CARDS, FINANCIAL ADVISOR, MERCHANT ACCOUNTS ACCOUNTANT,
[00:25:01]
ET CETERA.THIS AFFECTS MY RENTAL PROPERTY AT 4 0 7 SPRING HILL AS WELL.
IT WILL COST, IT WILL BE COSTLY AND TIME CONSUMING FOR ME AND MY TENANTS AT THIS LOCATION TOO.
I DON'T FEEL A NAME CHANGE FOR, FOR OUR STREET IS GOING TO BENEFIT ANYONE.
I AGREE WITH BUD AND BRENDA BAKER THAT THE MONUMENT SIGN WOULD BE MORE BE BENEFICIAL AS TO BRING PEOPLE INTO DOWNTOWN.
IF THAT IS WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.
IS THERE NOT A LIMIT TO HOW MANY TIMES YOU CAN BRING THE SAME SUBJECT OF REVIEW? THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT I'M AWARE OF EACH TIME IT IS COSTING EVERYONE TIME AND MONEY.
I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS CONVERSATIONS WITH CLIENTS WHILE AT THE SALON.
NOT ONCE HAVE I HEARD ANY THAT SUPPORTS THE NAME CHANGE OR UNDERSTANDS WHY IT'S EVEN UP FOR REVIEW.
AGAIN, PLEASE TAKE OUR THOUGHTS AND OUR THOUGHTS AND THE THOUGHTS OF EVERYONE THAT IS ACTUALLY AFFECTED BY THE ADDRESS CHANGE INTO CONSIDERATION BEFORE MAKING YOUR DECISION.
UH, YOU SHOULD HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED SEVERAL EMAILS FROM OTHER HAIRSTYLISTS, DARLA WOOD.
ALRIGHT, SECOND, WE HAVE, UH, FROM JACK.
ONE IRVING SAYS, UH, TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, PLEASE DON'T CHANGE THE NAME IN SUCH A SMALL PORTION OF THE ROAD BECAUSE THE COST OF THE EXPENSE TO OWNERS OF THE SALON.
UNLESS THE CITY OF AUBREY WANTS TO PAY THE COST THEMSELVES, WE HAVE ONE FROM LESLIE OWEN SAYS, TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I THINK THIS IS A BAD IDEA TO CHANGE THE STREET NAME FROM THE SPRING HILL TO MAIN STREET.
THIS HAS BEEN TOSSED AROUND SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST FEW YEARS.
I WORK AT THE SALON, IT WILL AND IT WILL TIME CONSUMING PLUS COSTLY TO GO FORWARD WITH THIS IDEA.
UM, AS AN INDEPENDENT HAIRSTYLIST WORKING AT HAIR ALLUSIONS, I WOULD LIKE TO VOTE AGAINST RENAMING SPRING HILL ROAD.
THERE IS NO BENEFIT IN NAME CHANGE THAT JUSTIFIES THE COST OF TIME AND MONEY TO BUSINESS OWNERS, RESIDENTS IN THE CITY.
THOSE COSTS CONSISTING WITH LEGAL FEES, FEES TO CHANGE NEEDS OR TO CHANGE DEEDS, WEBSITES, SOCIAL MEDIA, BUSINESS CARDS, BANK ACCOUNTS, UH, PROPERTY TAXES, SALON LICENSE, COSMETOLOGY LICENSE TAX PERMITS, ELECTRIC COMPANY, AND ALL OUR BUSINESS SOFTWARE, INTERNET, PHONE, ET CETERA.
INEVITABLY THIS WILL AFFECT MY INCOME, RENT AND PRICING.
I HAVE LIVED IN MORE THAN ONE AREA AND STATE AND HAVE SEEN MANY INSTANCES WHERE THE SAME ROAD HAD MORE THAN ONE NAME.
UM, FROM TAMARA GRAY, I'M ROUTING TO EXPRESS MY OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED NAME CHANGE OF SPRING HILL ROAD TO MAIN STREET.
I'M HAIRSTYLIST AT HAIR ILLUSION SALON.
I BELIEVE THIS CHANGE IS UNNECESSARY AND COULD CAUSE CONFUSION, INCONVENIENCE, AND POTENTIAL COST FOR RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES IN THE AREA, INCLUDING OUR SALON.
AS A HAIRSTYLIST WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR KEEPING MY OWN LICENSES, THAT IS A LOT FOR ME TO HAVE TO CHANGE.
TAX TAXES, BUSINESS CARDS, ET CETERA.
I HAVE BEEN A HAIRSTYLIST FOR THERE FOR 12 YEARS.
I HAVE CLIENTS WHO HAVE BEEN COMING TO ME AND REFERRING NEW CLIENTS TO ME, AND HAVING TO CHANGE AN ADDRESS THAT HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE I WAS LITTLE.
IT IS RIDICULOUS AND WILL BE CONFUSING FOR MY CLIENTELE OR RESPECTFULLY URGE THE CITY TO RECONSIDER THIS PROPOSAL AND SEEK BROADER COMMUNITY INPUT BEFORE MAKING A FINAL DECISION.
I ALSO DON'T THINK THAT THIS TOPIC SHOULD BE BROUGHT UP AGAIN AND THAT RESIDENTS AND BUSINESS BUSINESS' CONCERNS WITH WILL BE TAKEN INTO SERIOUS CONSIDERATION.
UM, FROM MI PATEL, UH, MY NAME IS MIT PATEL AND I'M THE OWNER OF DO MESS CLASS, A RESTAURANT LOCATED ON MAIN STREET IN DOWNTOWN ARBERY.
I'M RIDING REGARDING THE CURRENT DISCUSSION ABOUT RENAMING A PORTION OF SPRING HILL TO MAIN STREET.
AS A LOCAL BUSINESS OWNER, I DEEPLY CARE ABOUT THE GROWTH AND SUCCESS OF OUR DOWNTOWN COMMUNITY AND APPRECIATE THE CITY'S EFFORTS TO SUPPORT THAT VISION.
FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN IN RECENT CONVERSATIONS AMONG RESIDENTS AND BUSINESS OWNERS, IT'S CLEAR THAT THERE, THERE ARE STRONG OPINIONS ON BOTH SIDES.
WHILE MANY MAIN STREET BUSINESSES SUPPORT THE NAME CHANGE FOR CONSISTENCY AND BRANDING, I ALSO UNDERSTAND THE VALID CONCERNS OF THE BUSINESSES AND RESIDENCE ON SPRING HILL, WHO WOULD BE AFFECTED BY THE COST AND COMPLICATIONS OF CHANGING THEIR OFFICIAL ADDRESSES.
UH, I'M NOT WRITING TO TAKE A SIDE, BUT RATHER TO KINDLY ASK THE CITY TO CONSIDER A SOLUTION THAT BENEFITS THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE.
WHETHER THAT INVOLVES EXPLORING ALTERNATIVES, LIKE IMPROVED SIGNAGE, DUAL NAMING, OR A PHASED APPROACH, I BELIEVE A THOUGHTFUL COMPROMISE CAN BE REACHED THAT RESPECTS EVERYONE'S NEEDS AND CONCERNS.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP AND COMMITMENT TO OBVIOUS FUTURE.
I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HOW THE CITY CONTINUES TO SUPPORT BOTH GROWTH AND UNITY IN THE COMMUNITY.
UM, I HAVE ONE FROM, UH, SARAH LOMAS SAYS, I'M IN FAVOR FOR MAIN STREET TO GO ALL THE WAY TO HIGHWAY 3 77 MAIN STREET LEADS TO, INTO AUBREY DOWNTOWN AREA.
IT WOULD BE A POSITIVE THING FOR THE CITY TO CHANGE THE ENTIRE STREET NAME TO MAIN STREET.
I HAVE ONE FROM ZACH BAROLO SAYS, I'M REACHING OUT TO YOU TODAY, AND MY SUPPORT FOR CHANGING THE SMALL SECTION ON SPRING HILL TO MAIN STREET IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP OUR HISTORIC DOWNTOWN AND SUPPORT OUR SMALLEST OF SMALL BUSINESSES IN OUR TOWN.
I FEEL LIKE HAVING THE WORD MAIN STREET CONNECTED TO THE DOWNTOWN AREA WILL ENHANCE THE APPEAL FOR PEOPLE PASSING THROUGH TO SEE WHAT OUR SMALL TOWN HAS TO OFFER.
IT IS OUR GOAL TO KEEP OUR BUSINESSES OPEN AND BRING OUTSIDE REVENUE
[00:30:01]
TO OUR SMALL BUT GROWING TOWN.THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION.
I HAVE ONE FROM TAMMY TAPPEN SAYS, PLEASE FIND THIS EMAIL AS MY SUPPORT FOR THE PROPOSED NAME CHANGE OF MAIN STREET IN DOWNTOWN ARBERY.
AS A NEW BUSINESS OWNER OF EQUINE INSTINCTS GALLERY, LOCATED AT 2 1 6 SOUTH MAIN STREET, I RECOGNIZE THE VALUE OF HAVING MAIN STREET INTERSECTED WITH A MULTI-LANE US HIGHWAY.
THE EASE OF DIRECTING MY POTENTIAL CLIENTS FROM THE MAJOR INTERSECTION IN AUBREY, UH, SOUTH MAIN STREET AT HIGHWAY 3 77 TO DOWNTOWN IS MUCH CLEARER WITH THIS NEW NAME.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER, AND I WISH YOU THE BEST.
FROM, UH, MARISSA STOVER SAYS, I AM REACHING OUT TO YOU AND THE COUNSELOR TO RENAME THE SMALL SECTION OF SPRING HILL FROM 3 77 TO THE TRAIN TRACKS TO MAIN STREET.
I REALIZE THAT THIS WILL BE CHALLENGING FOR A FEW THAT WILL HAVE TO CHANGE THEIR ADDRESS.
THE BENEFIT TO THE BUSINESSES DOWNTOWN WILL HELP DRIVE MORE TRAFFIC FROM THE HIGHWAY.
I MEET NEW RESIDENTS EVERY WEEK, AND THEY, THEY MENTION HOW THEY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WE HAD A DOWNTOWN MAIN STREET.
SINCE I OPENED IN 2014, I'VE SEEN THREE BUSINESSES CLOSE ON MAIN STREET, RUBY STORE ON THE CORNER, MOM'S ON MAIN, AND NANCY KATE'S.
AS AUBREY CONTINUES TO GROW, WE NEED TO HOLD ONTO OUR ROU.
I ASK YOU TO PLEASE FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS.
ALSO, LOOK, I'VE ALSO LOOKED INTO THE COST FOR ADDRESS CHANGES FOR DEEDS.
UH, CAN'T READ ALL THE LINKS SHE SENT.
UH, ONE FROM CHRIS MURRAY SAYS, UH, STEVE AND I HAVE, UH, LONG BEEN PROPONENTS OF THE NAME CHANGE FROM THE MAIN THOROUGHFARE TO THE DOWNTOWN OF THE CITY OF HARBOR FROM SPRING HILL ROAD TO MAIN STREET.
UNFORTUNATELY, NEITHER STEVE NOR MYSELF CAN ATTEND THE COUNCIL MEETING, BUT WE WANTED TO SEND, UH, THIS EMAIL TO VOICE OUR OPINION.
WE OPERATED A BUSINESS ON MAIN STREET FOR MANY YEARS, AND DURING THAT TIME, THE CONFUSION OVER WHERES MAIN STREET CAUSES MANY HEADACHES.
IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR OUR CUSTOMERS TO EVEN FIND DOWNTOWN, LET ALONE OUR RESTAURANT SERVICE PEOPLE AND DELIVERY CARRIERS WERE ALSO CONFUSED.
AND MANY TIMES THAT CONFUSION LED TO MISPLACED DELIVERIES OR NO DELIVERIES AT ALL.
EVEN WITH THE GROWTH OF LOCATION SERVICES AND SOCIAL MEDIA, WE STILL EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTY WITH BEING FOUND.
THE LOCALS KNEW WHERE TO FIND US, BUT ANY SMALL BUSINESS WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU ALSO NEED TO ATTRACT PEOPLE FROM OUT OF THE AREA TO MAKE YOUR BUSINESS SUCCEED.
MANY TIMES WHEN WE WERE EXPERIENCING SLOW SALES, WE WISH THAT OUT OF TOWN PEOPLE DRIVING THROUGH COULD HAVE TURNED DOWN MAIN STREET.
WHEN YOU HAVE A MAIN STREET, YOU AUTOMATICALLY EXPECT TO FIND BUSINESSES.
RESTAURANTS IN THE HEART OF THE CITY KNOW WHERE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 3 77 OR IFM 4 28, DO YOU SEE MAIN STREET? WE STILL WONDER AT, AT WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN FOR OUR BUSINESS IF ALL THOSE DRIVING THROUGH COULD HAVE SEEN MAIN STREET.
WE HAVE A CHARMING DOWNTOWN AREA, AND WITH THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT PLANS, A BRIGHT FUTURE, LOOK FORWARD TO OUR DOWNTOWN.
WE WANT TO GROW AND KEEP A SENSE OF SMALL TOWN AND COMMUNITY PRIDE AT WHAT WE AS A CITY HAVE WORKED SO HARD TO PRESERVE BEAU BEAUTIFY AND PROMOTE.
WE CAN'T HELP FULFILL, HOWEVER, THAT NOT CHANGING THE NAME FROM SPRING HILL TO MAIN STREET.
WE'LL JUST CONTINUE TO KEEP OUR DOWNTOWN HIDDEN FROM THE VERY PEOPLE WE HOPE TO ATTRACT TO THE DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES, PARKS CITY OFFICES.
PLEASE SUPPORT THIS NAME CHANGE FOR THE GOOD OF THE CITY OF LIBRARY AND US DOWNTOWN.
I HAVE ONE FROM, UH, KIMBERLY LEWIS.
SO I'M WRITING TO EXPRESS MY SUPPORT IN FAVOR OF CHANGING THE SPRING HILL, SPRING HILL STREET NAME TO MAIN STREET.
OUR LITTLE TOWN, OUR LITTLE DOWNTOWN AREA COULD USE A BOOST TO DRIVE BUSINESS THERE.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE AREA THRIVE, ESPECIALLY AS THE CITY IS EXPANDING GREATLY.
WE SHOULD MAKE OUR DOWNTOWN AREA A PLACE TO GO AND SHOP, EAT, AND HAVE FUN.
THIS SMALL STEP IN CHANGING THE STREET NAME COULD HELP THAT HAPPEN.
WE HAVE ONE FROM COURTNEY HOPPER SAYS, I'M REACHING OUT TO YOU TODAY, AND MY SUPPORT FOR CHANGING THE SMALL SECTION ON SPRING HILL TO MAIN STREET IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP OUR HISTORIC DOWNTOWN AND SUPPORT OUR SMALLEST OF SMALL BUSINESSES IN OUR TOWN.
I FEEL LIKE HAVING THE WORD MAIN STREET CONNECTED TO THE DOWNTOWN AREA WILL ENHANCE THE APPEAL FOR PEOPLE PASSING THROUGH.
TO SEE WHAT OUR SMALL TOWN HAS TO OFFER IS OUR GOAL TO KEEP OUR BUSINESSES OPEN AND, AND BRING OUTSIDE REVENUE TO OUR SMALL TOWN, OUR SMALL BUT GROWING TOWN.
ONE FROM BRITTANY MURRAY SAYS, I'M REACHING OUT TO YOU TODAY IN SUPPORT, IN MY SUPPORT OF CHANGING THE SMALL SECTION OF SPRINGHILL AND TO MAIN STREET.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEP OUR HISTORIC DOWNTOWN SUPPORT, UM, OUR BUSINESS BUSINESSES IN OUR TOWN.
I FEEL LIKE HAVING THE WORD MAIN STREET CONNECTED TO THE DOWNTOWN AREA WILL ENHANCE THE APPEAL FOR PEOPLE PASSING THROUGH.
TO SEE OUR SMALL TOWN HAS TO OFFER IS OUR GOAL TO KEEP OUR BUSINESS OPEN AND OUTSIDE REVENUE TO OUR TOWN.
HAVING A FAMILY BUSINESS FOR 20 YEARS IN DOWNTOWN, THERE WERE NUMEROUS TIMES WE HAD THAT WE HEARD THAT PEOPLE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW DOWNTOWN EXISTED.
I UNDERSTAND THE CHANGES THAT WILL NEED TO TAKE PLACE, BUT FEEL THIS IS A GOOD THING FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
ONE FROM BOBBY DOW SAYS, PLEASE ACCEPT THIS LETTER AND IS MY OPPORTUNITY TO VOICE SUPPORT FOR RENAMING SPRING HILL ROAD TO MAIN STREET FROM US 3 77 INTO DOWNTOWN AUBREY, BOTH OWN PROPERTY AND HAVE A BUSINESS LOCATED AT 1 0 4 SOUTH MAIN STREET.
SO THIS PROPOSED RENAMING DOESN'T DIRECTLY IMPACT
[00:35:01]
MY PROPERTY OR BUSINESS, BUT INDIRECTLY I BELIEVE IT WILL ADD VALUE TO THE ENTIRE DOWNTOWN AREA.I HAVE CONCERNS THAT WITH THE PLANNED WIDENING OF 3 77 AND THE LOOP COMING OUR WAY, THAT THE OLD TOWN COULD BE LOST FOREVER FOR BOTH PERSONAL REASONS AND, AND CONCERN FOR THE, THE NOSTALGIA AND HISTORY OF DOWNTOWN ARBERY COULD BE LOST IN THE FUTURE.
CREATING A MAIN STREET THAT REACHES THESE MAJOR ROADS SEEMS IMPORTANT TO ME.
I HOPE WE NEVER LOSE THE OLD DOWNTOWN.
UM, ON ANOTHER NOTE, I, I OFTEN HAVE PEOPLE STOPPING IN THE OFFICE TRYING TO FIND THE SPRING HILL ADDRESS BECAUSE THEY ALREADY ASSUMED THAT TO BE MAIN STREET.
IT DOES, IT DOESN'T, BOTH MEET, DOESN'T BOTHER ME TO HELP PEOPLE OUT.
IT WOULD SEEM TO ELIMINATE SOME CONFUSION.
TI SAYS, I'M IN COMPLETE SUPPORT OF NAME CHANGE OF SPRING HILL ROAD, WEST OF FM THREE, OR FROM 3 77 TO RAILWAY TRACKS.
AND I'M GOING TO PUT ON MY CITIZEN HAT, AND I'M GONNA SAY, UM, I'VE ALWAYS INSISTED ON PRESERVING THE HYSTER, THE HERITAGE OF THE CITY OF ARBERY.
IF YOU WENT TO ANY OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MEETINGS, YOU WOULD'VE HEARD ME PUSH THAT ONE MAIN ITEM, THAT ONE MAIN ITEM INTO EVERYTHING THAT WAS DISCUSSED.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOT LET 3 77 BECOME SIX LANES AND THE OUTER LOOP TO KILL DOWNTOWN.
IF YOU'VE BEEN TO THE MUSEUM DOWNTOWN, THEN YOU'VE SEEN THE PHOTOS OF DOWNTOWN ARBERY.
IT WAS A CENTER OF ALL THINGS.
OVER THE YEARS WE'VE DISCUSSED DOWNTOWN AND WAYS WE CAN BRING IT BACK TO LIFE.
WE, WE'VE CREATED A DOWNTOWN PLAN.
WE'VE BOUGHT THE PEANUT DRYER, WE'VE COMPLETELY REDONE MATTHEWS PARK.
WE'VE UPGRADED VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK AND WE HAVE MORE PHASES COMING.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH TEXDOT TO GET TRAFFIC TRUCK TRAFFIC OUT OF DOWNTOWN AND INSTALL A LOT AND INSTALL A LOT AT MAIN.
AND SHERMAN, THE CITY AND THE MDD ARE WORKING TO PURCHASE OTHER PROPERTIES TO HELP DRIVE COMMERCIAL GROWTH.
UH, WE'VE INVESTED IN BEEFING UP OUR DOWNTOWN EVENT AND ADDED THE FRUIT JAR JUNCTION MARKET AND MAIN STREET MOTOR FEST.
WHILE WE TALK ABOUT DOING STUFF TO DRIVE THE REBIRTH OF DOWNTOWN, I ENCOURAGE THE COUNCIL TO ACT ON IT, STEP BACK AND LOOK AT IT FROM THE 30,000 FOOT VIEW.
JUST ONE CHANGE, WHILE IT MAY SEEM MINOR, WILL DRIVE THE FUTURE OF DOWNTOWN.
I ENCOURAGE THE COUNCIL TO THINK ABOUT ALL THE FUTURE BUSINESS OWNERS THAT WILL BENEFIT FROM IT.
I'M NOT DONE FIGHTING FOR MAIN STREET WHEN VENABLE RANCHES, WHEN VENABLE RANCH ANNEXES INTO THE CITY, I'LL BUS, I'LL BE PUSHING FOR HARMON ROAD TO BE RENAMED, RENAMED MAIN FROM BLACKJACK, AT LEAST TO THE OUTER LOOP MAIN STREET.
CONNECTING TO THE MAIN THOROUGHFARES ON BOTH ENDS IS VITAL FOR DOWNTOWN TO NOT ONLY SURVIVE THE GROWTH, BUT TO THRIVE IN SPITE OF IT.
AND I BELIEVE THAT WRAPS UP S OPPORTUNITY SPEAK.

AND YOUR AGENDA PACKET HAS, UM, AS WELL AS THE ORDINANCE HAS DETAILS FOR ALL OF THE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS.
UM, SOME OF THOSE ARE IN ADDITION TO THE DISTRICT, WE'RE ALLOWING, UH, OTHER USES SUCH AS RESTAURANTS MEETING THE TABC SEPARATION DISTANCE REQUIREMENTS.
THOSE WILL BE PERMITTED, UM, AS A JUST A, A REGULAR PERMITTED USE.
THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.
UM, WE DID IDENTIFY, UM, SEVERAL PROHIBITED USES SUCH AS MOTELS, SMOKE AND TOBACCO SHOPS, VARIETY STORES OUT OUTSIDE STORAGE AND SALES.
THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT ALSO INCLUDES DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS.
THIS MEANS, UH, BUILDING HEIGHTS, SETBACKS, UM, UM, LOT WIDTH, LOT DEPTH REQUIREMENTS.
THE, UM, PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT REQUIRES A CONCEPT PLAN AT THIS STAGE.
UM, WE'RE NOT READY TO PRESENT ONE OF THOSE.
WE WANTED TO BRING THE PROPERTY INTO THE CITY.
SO ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS IN THE PD REGULATIONS IS THAT BEFORE, UM, A SITE PLAN OR ANYTHING GETS TURNED IN, THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT WILL BE AMENDED AND A CONCEPT PLAN WILL BE ADOPTED.
UM, THE NOTIFICATIONS, UM, WERE PROCESSED AS REQUIRED BY STATE LAW IN YOUR, UM, ORDINANCE.
AND AT THE TIME OF AGENDA REPORT PREPARATION, WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY LETTERS IN SUPPORT OR IN OPPOSITION.
THE STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AS PRESENTED.
THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REVIEWED THIS ITEM AT THEIR MARCH 13TH MEETING AND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED THAT CITY COUNCIL APPROVE THIS ITEM.
YOUR PACKET INCLUDES A RECOMMENDED MOTION, UM, AND IT'S ALSO UP ON THE DISPLAY.
I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR HELEN? ANY INPUT FROM ANYONE HERE THAT WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6 43? MAYOR, I MOVE TO APPROVE THE PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT FOR THE LAKES FRESHWATER SUPPLY DISTRICT, HIGH COUNTRY GENERAL RETAIL IS PRESENTED.
I'LL SECOND MOTION MY JEFF, SECOND MY CHUCK.
CONSIDER AND TAKE ACTION ON A SITE PLAN APPLICATION FOR 4 0 3 SOUTH MAIN STREET FOR RESTAURANT USE.
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNSEL.
UH, THIS ITEM IS A SITE PLAN APPLICATION FOR 4 0 3 SOUTH MAIN.
UH, AND IF YOU NOTICE, IT IS AN ODD-SHAPED, UH, PARCEL.
IT IS ZONED FOR GENERAL RETAIL.
THE DEVELOPER PLANS TO CONVERT A SINGLE FAMILY HOME, UH, 2,175 SQUARE FEET INTO A RESTAURANT.
AND ALTHOUGH WE HAVE WORKED WITH THE DEVELOPER FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO MEET THE SUBDIVISION REQUIREMENTS.
UM, FOR A RESTAURANT OR FOR THAT USE.
THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ITEM, UM, IS DRAINAGE.
THE DRAINAGE PLAN CONTAINS SEVERAL OUTSTANDING ISSUES THAT MUST BE RESOLVED BEFORE WE CAN RECOMMEND APPROVAL.
SOME OF THE OUTSTANDING ITEMS INCLUDE CROSS LOT DRAINAGE, UM, AND DRAINAGE CHANNELS THAT NEED, UM, TO HAVE SOME UPDATES TO THE DESIGN.
HYDRAULIC DATA IS MISSING AND THE PLANS DO NOT INCLUDE TWO FEET OF FREEBOARD.
THE PLANS ALSO CONTAIN DISCREPANCIES IN PRE AND POST RUNOFF BETWEEN THE SUBMITTALS.
UH, CULVERTS NEED TO BE DESIGNED WITH ADDITIONAL CAPACITY.
UM, THE FOOTPRINT OF THIS DEVELOPMENT IS REALLY JUST TOO LARGE FOR THE LOT.
UM, THEY NEED TO HAVE ADEQUATE DETENTION AND ALL OF THESE THINGS, UH, IMPACT
[00:45:01]
THAT THE CLIENT, UM, HAS, UM, CONSIDERED RESUBMITTING, UM, AS A DIFFERENT USE, MAYBE AN OFFICE BUILDING, SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT.UM, BUT WE NEEDED TO BRING THIS IN FRONT OF THE BOARD DUE TO OUR ORDINANCE AND TIME RESTRAINTS.
IT WAS PRESENTED TO PLANNING AND ZONING AND THEY RECOMMENDED DENIAL OF THE SITE PLAN AT THEIR MARCH 13TH MEETING.
AND STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL OF THE SITE PLAN DUE TO NON-CONFORMANCE WITH CHAPTER 10, SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE ARTICLE ONE, SECTION FOUR, AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.
I MOVE TO DENY THE SITE PLAN BASED ON CIVIL PLANS NOT APPROVED BY THE CITY ENGINEER.
CHAPTER 10, SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE ARTICLE ONE, SECTION FOUR, SECOND MOTION BY AARON SECOND, MY JEFF.
ALL IN FAVOR PASSES FIVE ZERO.
HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE, COMMENT AND CONSIDER AND TAKE ACTION REGARDING ORDINANCE NUMBER 8 9 7 DASH 25, ADOPTING AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY OF HARVARD, LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN, AND ROADWAY IMPACT FEES.
WE WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6 46.
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
I'LL PRESENT THE ROADWAY IMPACT FEE UPDATE THIS EVENING.
THIS NIGHT IS JUST A PURPOSE OF HOLDING A PUBLIC HEARING, IS TO RECEIVE, COMMENT, AND CONSIDER TAKING ACTION REGARDING ORDINANCE NUMBER 8 97 DASH 25.
THIS SLIDE IDENTIFIES WHAT A ROADWAY ROADWAY IMPACT FEES ARE.
IT'S ESSENTIALLY A TOOL THAT MUNICIPALITIES CAN USE TO HELP FUND ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS OR INFRASTRUCTURE BASED ON TRAFFIC GENERATED BY FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AND TYPICALLY ASSIST ONLY ON NEW, UH, NEW DEVELOPMENT.
THE ROADWAY IMPACT FEES ARE IN THE STATE STATUTES.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE CHAPTER 3 9 5.
AND THIS IS JUST A SNAPSHOT OF THAT, UH, CHAPTER.
I'LL GO INTO THE, THE BRIEF METHODOLOGY ON HOW WE UPDATED THE ROADWAY IMPACT PHASE.
WE START WITH THE SERVICE AREA, GO INTO THE 10 YEAR LAND, USE ASSUMPTIONS THAT GET APPROVED, 10 YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN, IDENTIFY THE SERVICE UNIT AND HOW THE PORTION OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, UH, SERVES THE 10 YEAR GROWTH.
AND THEN THE CALCULATION OF THE IMPACT FEES.
ESSENTIALLY, THERE ARE TWO SERVICE AREA.
ONE, AS YOU CAN SEE IS IN THE YELLOW.
AND THE SERVICE AREA TWO IS ON THE SOUTHEAST SIDE THAT'S IDENTIFIED IN THE BLUE.
SO THE ROADWAY IMPACT FEE HAS TWO SERVICE AREA IN AUBERY.
THE NEXT WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE 10 YEAR LAND USE EXEMPTION.
THIS IS, THIS IS THE LAND USES THAT WERE APPROVED.
IT ESSENTIALLY TALKS ABOUT, LET ME GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, HAS A LITTLE BIT BIGGER TABLE.
IT TALKS ABOUT WHAT OTHER LAND USES IN 2024, UH, RESIDENTIAL, INDUSTRIAL, AND RETAIL.
AND THEN WHAT GETS, UH, TO US TO THE ULTIMATE 2034 AND HOW, UH, 2034 IS ALSO THE ULTIMATE FOR THE CITY OF AUBREY.
AS FAR AS THE, UH, RESIDENTIAL, INDUSTRIAL, RETAIL AND OFFICE FOR BOTH, UH, SERVICE AREAS.
LOOK AT THE 10 YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN.
I THINK THERE ARE EIGHT PROJECTS IN SERVICE AREA ONE AND TWO ADDITIONAL PROJECTS IN SERVICE AREA.
UH, TWO, IT GOES INTO THE DETAILS OF THE CAPITAL COST, THE DEBT SERVICES, AND THE TOTAL PROJECT COST.
AS YOU CAN SEE IN SERVICE AREA ONE, THE TOTAL COST IS ABOUT $57 MILLION, 56,800,000 PLUS.
AND IN SERVICE AREA TWO, IT'S ABOUT $20 MILLION.
AGAIN, THIS IS JUST, UH, THESE ARE THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM PROJECTS IDENTIFIED IN THE THOROUGHFARE.
THE ROADWAY IMPACT FEE SERVICE UNIT IS ESSENTIALLY, UH, PMP POWER WAKER VEHICLE MILES, WHICH ARE CALCULATED BY THE TRIPS GENERATED BY THE LAND USE AND MULTIPLIED BY THE TRIP LENGTH.
AND HERE IS A, UH, A TABLE SHOWING FOR THE RESIDENTIAL OFFICE, COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL, WHAT THE VARIABLES ARE AS FAR AS THE, THE
[00:50:01]
SERVICE UNIT, THE PMP POWER TRIPS IN VEHICLES.AND THEN THE TRIP LENGTH IS ON, ON AN AVERAGE THREE MILES.
THE TRIPLE LENGTH, WHICH IS, UH, DERIVED FROM THE WORKPLACE TRAVEL SERVICE DONE BY THE NC COG.
AND THAT ESSENTIALLY THE LAST COLUMN SHOWS THE SERVICE UNIT, WHICH IS THE PMP TOWER VEHICLE MILES FOR EACH OF THESE FOUR LAND USE THIS.
THEN WE LOOK AT THE PORTION OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM THAT IS TO SERVE THE NEXT 10 YEARS OF GROWTH.
OF COURSE, THERE ARE LOTS OF NUMBERS HERE, BUT ESSENTIALLY WHAT'S IN GREEN IS THE VEHICLE MILES ADDED IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS BETWEEN 2024 AND 2034 FOR EACH SERVICE AREA.
AND THEN THE OTHER THING IS THE PORTION OF THE ULTIMATE VEHICLE MILES THAT ARE IN THAT.
EACH OF THESE, UH, SERVICE AREA FOR SERVICE AREA ONE AND 10 IS THE BOTTOM.
YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS.
IN SERVICE AREA ONE, WE ARE ADDING ABOUT 28% OF ULTIMATE.
AND IN SERVICE AREA TWO, IT'S ABOUT 33%.
AND OF COURSE, BASED ON THOSE PROPORTIONS, THE COST OF THOROUGHFARE ATTRIBUTED TO THE GROWTH OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS IS IDENTIFIED FOR EACH OF THESE TWO SERVICE AREAS, TOTALING INTO ABOUT $22.8 MILLION.
AND THEN NEXT IS KIND OF A CALCULATION OF THIS IMPACT FEE.
SO AS WE SAID, THE TWO SERVICE AREA, THE MAXIMUM ROADWAY IMPACT FEE IS THE ELIGIBLE THIRD COST ATTRIBUTE TO GROWTH FOR THAT SERVICE AREA THAT WE JUST SAW IN THE PREVIOUS SLIDE, DIVIDED BY THE TOTAL GROWTH IN THE EQUIVALENT SERVICE UNITS IN THAT PARTICULAR SERVICE AREA.
SO FOR SERVICE AREA ONE, WE HAVE ABOUT TWO $2,000 AND 82 CENTS PER EQUIVALENT SERVICE UNIT.
AND SIMILARLY, FOR SERVICE AREA TWO, IT'S 2,963 $3 PER EQUIVALENT SERVICE UNIT.
SO THE CURRENT IMPACT FEE LEGISLATION REQUIRES THE CITY TO PRODUCE A FINANCIAL ANALYSIS TO SUPPORT ANY FEE THAT IS GREATER THAN 50% OF THE ELIGIBLE COSTS.
SO THIS SLIDE SHOWS FOR EACH SERVICE HERE, WHAT IS WE CALCULATED THE MAXIMUM IMPACT FEE.
AND NOW WE ARE SAYING THAT THE 50% IS WHAT'S ALLOWABLE IMPACT FEE FOR EACH OF THE SERVICE AREAS.
SO FOR SERVICE AREA ONE, IT CALCULATES TO BE ABOUT $1,000 AND FOUR 1040 $1.
IN SERVICE AREA TWO, IT'S $1,481 AND 50 CENTS.
SO HERE IS A COMPARISON OF WHAT WAS DONE PREVIOUSLY IN THE PREVIOUS STUDY.
AND WHAT IS IN THE CURRENT STUDY.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE PREVIOUSLY SERVICE AREA ONE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE WAS ABOUT $817, GOES UP TO ABOUT 1040 $1.
AND FOR SERVICE AREA TWO, THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE WAS, UM, 3,970, REDUCES DOWN TO 1480 1.5.
UM, SO THE RECOMMENDED FEE IS WHAT'S, THAT'S TO BE DECLARED BY THE COUNCIL AND ADAPTED BY THE, UH, THE COUNCIL.
HERE IS A, UH, EXAMPLE CALCULATION WAKER MILES PER DEVELOPMENT UNIT FOR A SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING UNIT.
THAT'S BASICALLY ONE DWELLING UNIT MULTIPLIED BY 2.82 VEHICLES, VEHICLE MILES, UH, PER DWELLING UNIT.
SO OUR, IT'S 2.82 VEHICLE MILES.
AND IF YOU ASSUME 50% OF MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE, WHICH IS, UM, 1041 PER SERVICE SERVICE UNIT.
SO 2.82 MULTIPLIED BY 1041 EQUATES TO ABOUT 2935.62 IN SERVICE AREA ONE.
AND SIMILARLY IN SERVICE AREA TWO FOR, UH, THE DWELLING UNIT, IT'S ABOUT 4177.83.
SIMILAR CALCULATION FOR A RETAIL OR A 50,000 SQUARE FEET SHOPPING CENTER.
UM, THE TOTAL COST IN SERVICE AREA ONE WOULD BE $376,842.
AND IF IT WAS SERVICE AREA TWO, THE TOTAL COST WOULD BE $536,303.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL TRY TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS.
[00:55:02]
THE ONLY QUESTION IS, WHAT HAPPENED, UH, WHY DID THE ALLOWABLE FEE GO DOWN SO DRASTICALLY FOR SERVICE AREA TWO? I THINK THE SERVICE AREA TWO, AND I MAY HAVE TO GO BACK.YEAH, I'LL BE, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THAT.
UH, SO IN THESE, THE ROADWAY IMPACT FEES ARE ONLY, UM, APPLICABLE TO CITY LIMITS.
UM, SO IN THIS EVALUATION THAT WE'VE DONE, WE'VE INCLUDED THOSE ROADWAYS IN SECTION TWO, THEY'RE IN THE CITY LIMITS
AND SERVICE AREA TWO IS ABOUT A DECREASE OF $1,200.
I DIDN'T LOOK AT THE NUMBERS, BUT YES, THE DECREASE
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WE DID, UM, PRESENT THIS TO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE, UM, FEBRUARY 12TH, AND THEY RECOMMENDED, UM, 50% ADOPTION OF THE FEE.
UH, ANY INPUT FROM ANYONE HERE FROM THE AUDIENCE? BASED ON THAT, WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6 57.
I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE THE LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN AND IMPACT FEES CALCULATED AT THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE RATE.
ITEM 15, UH, PRESENTATION, DISCUSSION, AND ACTION.
TO ACCEPT THE FINAL OR THE FISCAL YEAR 2024 AUDIT FROM WHITLEY PENN MAYOR COUNCIL, UH, LAUREN EATON FROM WHITLEY PENN IS HERE.
LAUREN WAS THE AUDIT MANAGER ON OUR AUDIT THIS YEAR.
SHE'LL HAVE SOME, UH, OVERVIEW SLIDES OF THE AUDIT AND SOME OTHER REQUIRED COMMUNICATIONS.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME THIS EVENING.
UM, AS MIKE SAID, WE ARE GONNA COVER THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT.
AND THEN WE ALSO HAD A FEDERAL SINGLE AUDIT THIS YEAR BECAUSE THE CITY EXPENDED OVER 750,000 OF FEDERAL AWARDS.
SO THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE SINGLE AUDIT MANAGEMENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INTERNAL CONTROLS AND THE OVERALL PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
WHILE THE CITY COUNCIL IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING MANAGEMENT MEETS ITS RESPONSIBILITIES.
AND THEN AS US INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, UH, WE ASSU, WE, UM, OPINE ON THE OPINION OF OR OPINE ON THE PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
AND THAT IS REASONABLY, UM, FREE OF MATERIAL MISSTATEMENTS.
SO THE PURPOSE OF THE FINANCIAL AUDIT IS TO PROVIDE USERS OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WITH REASONABLE ASSURANCE THAT THEY CAN RELY ON THE INFORMATION.
UM, THIS IS NOT ABSOLUTE ASSURANCE, THIS IS REASONABLE SO THAT ALL USERS, UM, CAN KNOW THAT IT IS WITHIN MATERIAL AND AMOUNT.
UH, REASONABLY STATED, UH, THIS IS NOT AN ASSESSMENT OF THE FINANCIAL WELLBEING OF THE CITY.
UM, THIS WAS FOR THE ACTIVITY AS OF SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2024.
AND, UM, THE, THE GOAL OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT, AS I SAID, IS FOR REASONABLE ASSURANCE.
UM, IT'S NOT A HUNDRED PERCENT, UM, BUT IT IS WITHIN ALL MATERIAL AMOUNTS THAT IT IS CORRECTLY STATED.
THE AUDIT PROCESS CAN KIND OF BE BROKEN UP INTO FIVE STAGES.
WE GENERALLY WILL DO OUR RISK ASSESSMENT PLANNING AND THEN, UM, THE AUDIT IS DRIVEN BY OUR RISK ASSESSMENT.
AND SO WE UNDER, WE OBTAIN AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE KEY CONTROLS BY TALKING TO THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS, AND THEN WE WILL TEST THE CONTROLS AND OVERALL COMPLIANCE OF THOSE INTERNAL CONTROLS.
AND THEN THE, WE COMPLETE OUR SUBSTANTIVE TO SUBSTANTIVE TESTING, WHICH IS, UH, VOUCHING THE BALANCE SHEET AND INCOME STATEMENT AMOUNTS AND ENSURING THAT THEY'RE MATERIALLY CORRECT.
AND THEN, UM, WHERE WE ARE TODAY IS ISSUING AN OPINION AND THE REPORT ITSELF.
SO THE, THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF OPINIONS THAT YOU CAN GET ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
A DISCLAIMER, A QUALIFICATION OF AN OPINION, OR A UNMODIFIED OPINION.
AND THAT'S WHAT, UM, YOU SHOOT FOR IS A CLEAN OPINION.
AND THAT IS WHAT THE CITY HAS RECEIVED ON THEIR FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT.
AND THIS WAS CONDUCTED WITH, UM, GENERALLY ACCEPTED AUDITING STANDARDS AND GOVERNMENTING AUDITING STANDARD AS
[01:00:01]
WELL.UH, WE DID ALSO IN ACCORDANCE WITH, UH, GOVERNMENTING AUDITING STANDARDS ISSUE A REPORT OVER THE INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.
AND THERE WAS NO, THIS IS A CLEAN OPINION AS WELL.
AND THERE WAS NO SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCIES, MATERIAL WEAKNESSES, NON-COMPLIANCE OR INSTANCES OF FRAUD.
UH, FOR THE FEDERAL SINGLE AUDIT REPORT, THE MAJOR PROGRAM THAT WAS, UH, SELECTED TO BE TESTED WAS THE CORONA STATE AND LOCAL FISCAL RECOVERY FUNDS OR AS, UM, ISSUED BY ARPA.
AND THIS ALSO RECEIVED A CLEAN OPINION OR UNMODIFIED ON BOTH ITS COMPLIANCE.
AND THERE WAS NO INTERNAL CONTROL FINDINGS RELATED TO THE MAJOR PROGRAM.
INSTANCES OF NON-COMPLIANCE OR QUESTION COSTS.
THIS IS A OVERVIEW OF THE GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE CITY.
SO IT INCLUDES BOTH YOUR LONG-TERM DEBT AND YOUR CAPITAL ASSETS OR, UM, YOUR, UH, LONG-TERM ASSETS.
UH, AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE WAS AN INCREASE IN ASSETS AND CAPITAL ASSETS DUE TO THE, UM, DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE CITY.
UH, YOUR DEFERRED OUTFLOWS OR RESOURCES DID INCREASE, BUT THIS WAS DUE, UM, MAINLY TO THE REFUNDING OF THE PAID BONDS.
UH, THE LIABILITIES INCREASED AS WELL, CORRESPONDING TO THE INCREASE IN CASH, UM, WITH THE $47 MILLION IN DEBT ISSUANCE.
BUT 29 MILLION OF THAT WAS, UM, TO REFUND, UH, JACKSON RIDGE BONDS.
UM, AND THEN YOUR DIVERTED INFLOW RESOURCES DID NOT CHANGE, AND THIS IS RELATED TO YOUR PENSION AND OPE AND THAT RESULTED IN A 13 MILLION, $13.3 MILLION INCREASE IN YOUR OVERALL, UM, NET POSITION OR ABOUT 70%.
UH, THE INCOME STATEMENT SIDE OF THAT.
UM, ALL OF YOUR, THE, UH, REVENUES INCREASED IN, IN RELATION TO EXPENDITURES ALSO INCREASING.
UM, HOWEVER, THE TOTAL REVENUES INCREASED MORE THAN, UM, THE EXPENDITURES DUE TO, UH, THE CAPITAL PROJECTS BEING, UH, CREATED AND THE ASSETS BEING CREATED.
AND SO THOSE GET, UH, EXPENSED OVER TIME.
AND SO THAT RESULTED IN OVERALL INCREASE, AGAIN, AS I SAID, OF 13.3%.
THIS IS A CHANGE OF ABOUT 5 MILLION FROM LAST YEAR.
UH, THIS IS JUST THE GENERAL FUND BALANCE SHEET.
SO THIS IS THE OPERATING FUND OF THE CITY.
THIS IS JUST CURRENT YEAR RESOURCES.
UM, THE RECEIVABLE STAYED ROUGHLY THE SAME AND SAME WITH THE OTHER ASSETS 'CAUSE THEY'RE STILL WAITING ON THE, UM, ON THE FIRE TRUCK TO COME IN.
AND THEN LIABILITIES, UM, INCREASE DUE TO THE INCREASE IN CONSTRUCTION AND, UH, TIMING OF ACCOUNTS PAYABLE, UM, DEFERRED INFLOWS, UM, RELATED TO, UH, PENSION AND OP E.
UM, AND THE, OR RELATED TO, UM, THE, UM, AMBULANCE FEE SERVICES THAT WAS ENTERED INTO THE NEW YEAR WAS THE REASON FOR THE INCREASE IN DEFERRED RESOURCES.
AND THAT RESULTED IN OVERALL INCREASE IN THE FUND BALANCE OF, UH, ALMOST $4 MILLION.
THE INCOME STATEMENT SIDE, THIS IS THE, UM, AGAIN, JUST THE GENERAL FUND, UM, FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS.
UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S STEADILY INCREASED IN REVENUES AND AS WELL AS THE EXPENSES.
UM, THIS YEAR THOUGH, WE HAVE AGAIN, AN OVERALL INCREASE IN THE GENERAL FUND OPERATING EQUITY OF 3.8.
UH, THIS IS A PIE GRAPH OF THE GENERAL REVENUE BY, UM, FUNCTION.
AND, UM, MAINLY IT, THE INCOME IS FROM PROPERTY TAXES AND SALES TAXES AND CHARGES FOR SERVICE, UH, AND LICENSE FOR PERMIT.
AND THEN INTEREST IN EARNINGS AND OTHER REVENUE MAKE UP A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THAT.
UH, GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURE IS FOR 2024.
UM, THIS IS IN ALIGN WITH PREVIOUS YEARS AS WELL.
UM, PUBLIC SAFETY TAKES A, A LARGE PORTION OF IT AND THEN DEVELOP, FOLLOWED BY DEVELOPMENT, PLANNING AND ADMINISTRATIVE.
UM, AND THEN THE OTHER PORTIONS ARE LESS THAN 5% YOUR UNASSIGNED BALANCE.
THIS IS THE, UM, PORTION THAT THE COUNCIL, UM, CAN ASSIGN EITHER FOR FUTURE PROJECTS.
UM, TYPICALLY, UH, 30%, UM, IS A HEALTHY FUND BALANCE.
AND AS YOU CAN SEE OVER THE PAST COUPLE YEARS, IT IS, UM, INCREASED.
AND THIS, UM, LEAVES YOU AT A 72% UNASSIGNED BALANCE.
AND THIS IS ABOUT 286 DAYS OF OPERATIONS THAT THE CITY CAN, UM, UNDERGO
[01:05:01]
WITHOUT ANY NEW REVENUE, UH, REQUIRED COMMUNICATIONS.THE SIGNIFICANT POLICIES THERE WERE NEW, NO NEW AUDITING STANDARDS, UM, BUT WE DID DISCUSS WITH MANAGEMENT AND MADE SURE EVERYTHING WAS IMPLEMENTED THAT WAS NECESSARY FOR ACCOUNTING ES ESTIMATES.
UM, THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES DEEMED BY THAT WE HAVE DEEMED THAT MANAGEMENT HAS, UH, WE ENCOUNTERED NO DIFFICULTY WITH MANAGEMENT DURING THE AUDIT.
UM, WE DO HAVE TWO ASSUMED RISK.
AS I SAID, IT IS A RISK BASED AUDIT.
UM, AND SO WE ALWAYS ASSUME THESE TWO RISKS.
AND THIS IS NOT SPECIFIC TO THE CITY OF AUBREY AT ALL.
THIS IS JUST, UM, ACROSS OUR, OUR AUDIT PRACTICE.
AND THAT IS MANAGEMENT OVERRIDE OF CONTROLS.
BECAUSE EVEN IF THERE ARE CONTROLS IN PLACE, MANAGEMENT CAN OVERRIDE THEM.
AND THEN REVENUE RECOGNITION JUST BECAUSE OF THE, UM, ERROR OR FRAUD.
UH, UNCORRECTED MISSTATEMENTS, THERE WERE NONE AND WE HAD NO DISAGREEMENTS WITH MANAGEMENT.
UH, WE OBTAINED REPRESENTATION FOR MANAGEMENT, UM, STATING THAT ALL REQUIRED DISCLOSURES WERE INCLUDED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
UH, WE WERE NOT AWARE OF MANAGEMENT CONSULTING WITH ANY OTHER OUTSIDE ACCOUNTING ACCOUNTANTS OR FIRMS, UM, REGARDING ANY FINANCIAL STATEMENT MATTERS.
UM, AND ANY DISCUSSIONS THAT WE HAD, UH, WITH MANAGEMENT REGARDING ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES OR AUDITING STANDARDS, THIS WAS NOT CONTINGENT UPON OUR RETENTION.
ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.
I MOVE TO APPROVE FISCAL YEAR 2024 AUDIT.
ALL IN FAVOR PASSES FIVE TO ZERO.
UH, ITEM 16, RECEIVE A PRESENTATION SUMMARIZING THE RATINGS RANKINGS OF THE SUBMISSIONS FROM CONSULTANTS FOR CITY FINANCIAL ADVISORY SERVICES IN RESPONSE TO THE CITY'S REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS.
CONSIDER AND TAKE ACTION TO APPROVE THIS, THE SELECTION OF HILLTOP SECURITIES AS THE CITY'S FINANCIAL ADVISORY FIRM, MAYOR COUNCIL, UM, THE CITY RECEIVED PROPOSALS FROM THREE FINANCIAL ADVISORY FIRMS IN RESPONSE TO OUR REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS RFQ.
EACH PROPOSAL WAS EVALUATED BASED ON THE ESTABLISHED SELECTION CRITERIA.
AFTER INITIAL REVIEW, ALL THREE FIRMS, HILLTOP SECURITY, SAMCO CAPITAL MARKETS, AND PFM FINANCIAL ADVISORS, LLC RECEIVED HIGH MARKS FOR THEIR QUALIFICATIONS.
UH, WE DID FURTHER ANALYSIS AND CONDUCTED TO, UH, WAS CONDUCTED TO DIFFERENTIATE, UH, BASED ON EXPERIENCE TEXAS SPECIFIC EXPERTISE, MARKET DOMINANCE AND SUITABILITY FOR AUBREY'S NEEDS.
UM, THE SCORING RESULTED IN HIGH, UH, HILLTOP SECURITIES RECEIVING THE HIGHEST MARKS FOLLOWED BY SAMCO CAPITAL MARKETS.
AND THEN THIRD, UH, PFM FINANCIAL.
UH, HILLTOP, UH, IS THE NUMBER ONE RANKED FINANCIAL ADVISORY FIRM IN TEXAS, AND THEY ARE OUR CURRENT ADVISOR.
SO THEY HAD THE ADVANTAGE OF, UH, SPECIFIC FIT TO AUBREY.
UH, THEY'RE THE NUMBER TWO RANKED, UH, TEXAS FARM FOR, UH, PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT, UH, SERVICES.
UM, AND THEY, THEY DO SPECIALIZE IN GROWTH FOCUSED FINANCING SOLUTIONS.
SO THEY, THEY WERE ALSO VERY GOOD PFM FINANCIAL, LARGER NATIONAL FIRM, WELL RECOGNIZED AND RESPECTED.
UH, THEY DON'T HAVE THE LEVEL OF TEXAS EXPERIENCE THAT THE OTHER TWO FIRMS HAD, BUT AS IT TURNED OUT WITH, UH, UH, I'LL JUST READ BASED ON THE EVALUATION, HILLTOP SECURITIES IS THE TOP RANK PROPOSAL AND IS RECOMMENDED AS THE CITY OF AUBREY'S FINANCIAL ADVISOR, THEIR EXTENSIVE TEXAS MARKET PRESENCE, DIRECT EXPERIENCE ADVISING, UH, CITY OF AUBREY AND THEIR PROVEN TRACK RECORD, UM, UH, MAKES THEM THE BEST CHOICE.
UM, WE WERE VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESPONSES.
THESE WERE VERY GOOD FIRMS AND, UH, THEY DID A GREAT JOB SUBMITTING THEIR PROPOSALS.
UM, BUT WE, WE DO RECOMMEND THAT WE MOVE FORWARD WITH HILLTOP SECURITIES.
I MOVE TO APPROVE HILLTOP SECURITIES AS THE CITY'S FINANCIAL ADVISOR AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE AND EXECUTE THE ADVISORY CONTRACT.
MOTION CARRIES FIVE TO ZERO MOTION
[01:10:03]
ITEM 17, CONSIDER INTAKE ACTION ON ORDINANCE NUMBER 8 9 9 DASH 25 AMENDING CHAPTER SIX, HEALTH AND SANITATION OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES BY ADOPTING ARTICLE 6.06 MOBILE FOOD VENDORS.UH, GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.
I DO HAVE THE WRONG ARTICLE NUMBER UP HERE.
UH, HOWEVER, I WILL BE DISCUSSING THE MOBILE FOOD VENDOR ORDINANCE.
UH, SO THE CITY OF REY DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE ANY REGULATIONS IN PLACE OUTSIDE OF HEALTH PERMITTING, UH, FOR OUR MOBILE FOOD VENDORS.
RECENTLY, WE HAVE SEEN AN INCREASE IN MOBILE FOOD VENDORS, UH, IN THE CITY OF AUBREY.
UM, SO THIS NEW ORDINANCE IS GOING TO DEFINE MOBILE FOOD VENDORS, UH, AND OUTLINE RULES AND REGULATIONS, UH, FOR THESE VENDORS.
UH, SO WITHOUT THESE RULES AND REGULATIONS, UH, WE COULD SEE POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES, UH, ILLEGAL DUMPING OF GREASE AND WASH WATER, TRASH, UH, SUBPAR MOBILE EQUIPMENT, SIGNING IN ZONING VIOLATIONS.
UH, SO THE CITIES THAT WERE REFERENCED WERE SALINA BASTROP, DENISON DENTON, LET ALONE AND FLOWER MOUND.
UH, SO WE TRIED TO LOCATE CITIES THAT WERE KIND OF NEAR US AND, UH, THAT WE THINK HAVE A SUCCESSFUL FOOD TRUCK POPULATION.
UH, SO WE'RE OUTLINING THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MOBILE FOOD VENDORS.
UH, UNRESTRICTED, RESTRICTED, AND LIMITED SERVICE.
SO YOUR UNRESTRICTED MOBILE FOOD VENDORS ARE GONNA BE, UH, YOUR TYPICAL FOOD TRUCKS THAT YOU SEE.
THEY'RE GONNA BE PREPARING FOOD ON SITE.
UH, YOUR RESTRICTED MOBILE FOOD VENDORS ARE GOING TO BE PREPACKAGED FOOD.
UM, SO THEY'LL KIND OF FALL UNDER COTTAGE LAW.
AND THEN LASTLY, YOU HAVE YOUR LIMITED SERVICE MO MOBILE FOOD VENDOR.
THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY A VEHICLE, UM, BUT SOMETIMES THOSE PUSH CARTS THAT YOU SEE, UH, OUT ON THE STREETS.
UH, SO THE APPLICATION PROCESS, UH, SO THE APPLICANT'S GONNA APPLY FOR A MOBILE FOOD FENDER, UH, PERMIT WITH A, UH, CITY OF AUBREY PERMITTING OFFICE.
UH, FROM THERE WE'RE GOING TO OBTAIN APPROVALS FROM PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, UH, POLICE AND FIRE MARSHAL, UH, AND THE CITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
UPON THESE APPROVALS, A PAYMENT FOR THE PERMANENT APPLICATION WILL BE MADE AND THE PERMIT WILL BE ISSUED AT THAT TIME.
THE APPLICANT WILL THEN SET UP A HEALTH INSPECTION, UH, FROM OUR THIRD PARTY HEALTH INSPECTOR.
ALRIGHT, SO THE COST OF THE MOBILE FOOD VENDOR PERMIT, UH, DOESN'T CHANGE MUCH, UM, BUT WE HAVE BROKE IT OUT INTO THREE SEPARATE ITEMS. SO YOUR UNRESTRICTED IS GONNA BE 300 PER YEAR.
UH, YOUR RESTRICTED IS GONNA BE 200 AND LIMITED IS 150.
UM, SO THOSE MOBILE FOOD VENDORS THAT ARE, UH, PERMITTED THROUGH THE CITY OF AUBREY WILL RECEIVE A DISCOUNT, UM, FOR ANY OFFENSE THAT WE HAVE A MAP.
UM, SO THEY'LL ONLY BE PAYING THE BOOTH FEE, NOT THE HEALTH INSPECTION FEE.
SO ANY OF OUR FOOD VENDORS THAT ARE COMING THAT DO NOT HAVE A, UM, PERMIT THROUGH THE CITY OF AUBREY, THEY WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT HEALTH INSPECTION ON TOP OF THEIR VENDOR FEE.
ALRIGHT, UH, SO MOBILE TRUCK FOOD VENDORS WILL BE REQUIRED TO FOLLOW ALL THESE RULES AND REGULATIONS SET FORTH, UH, IN THIS NEW ORDINANCE.
THEY MUST PASS ALL HEALTH INSPECTIONS SET FORTH BY THE CITY AND THIRD PARTY INSPECTORS, UM, AND WILL BE REQUIRED TO HAVE UP TO DATE REGISTRATIONS AND LICENSES ON VEHICLES.
UM, WE SHOULDN'T SEE A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN OUR CURRENT PROCESS.
HOWEVER, NOW WE'LL HAVE AN ORDINANCE IN PLACE WHERE WE CAN, UH, ENFORCE THESE REQUIREMENTS.
ANY QUESTIONS? IS THERE GONNA BE SOME SORT OF PERMIT THAT'S VISIBLE FOR THE CITIZENS TO KNOW THAT IT WAS PERMITTED? YES.
THEY WILL BE ISSUED A PERMIT, AND THAT SHOULD BE IN THEIR, UH, MOBILE TRUCK OR MOBILE FOOD VENDOR UNIT, UH, VISIBLE TO THE CITIZENS.
I KNOW SOME CITIES DO STICKERS ON THE BACK OF THEIR VEHICLES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO YEAH, BELIEVE, YEAH, WE, WE WILL HAVE PERMITS, UH, FOR THEM.
CHIEF BROOKS, DO WE HAVE A PLAN FOR ENFORCEMENT? UM, I WOULD IMAGINE I'VE BEEN TOLD ABOUT THIS, BUT IF THEY'RE NOT DISPLAY THE PERMIT THAT WE COULD ISSUE A TICKET ENFORCEMENT.
THE IDEA WAS TO HAVE CODE ENFORCEMENT, UM, ENFORCE SOME OF THESE REGULATIONS, BUT IT WOULD DEPEND ON THE TYPE OF VIOLATION THAT WE SEE.
UH, IF IT'S SOMETHING WHERE WE SEE ILLEGAL DUMPING, UH, PUBLIC WORKS COULD GET INVOLVED.
UM, IF IT'S SOMETHING WHERE WE SEE LICENSES AND REGISTRATIONS AREN'T UP TO DATE, THEN WE CAN GET POLICE INVOLVED AS WELL.
I MOVE TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE ADOPTING MOBILE FOOD AND VENDOR REGULATIONS.
[01:15:01]
I SECOND MOTION BY RANDY, SECOND BY CHUCK.ALL THE FAVOR PASSES FIVE ZERO.
RECEIVE A PRESENTATION FROM RALPH TILLIS REGARDING THE WATER AND WASTEWATER RATE STUDY CONDUCTED FOR THE CITY.
CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION REGARDING A POTENTIAL WATER AND SEWER RATE INCREASED.
I'VE WORKED IN THE UTILITY INDUSTRY FOR ABOUT 10 PLUS YEARS, AND TWO OF 'EM, I'M ACTUALLY, UH, GOT TO WORK AT A UTILITY.
SO I'VE BEEN ON YOUR SIDE OF THE TABLE AND KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO RAISE RATES AND UNDERSTAND SOME OF THESE RECOMMENDATIONS.
SO I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT OUR STUDY PROCESS, WHAT WE WENT THROUGH, UM, WHAT ARE THE FINANCIAL PLAN ASSUMPTIONS THAT ARE IN THERE, AND THEN GO OVER OUR THREE YEAR UTILITY PLAN.
UH, THERE IS A RECOMMENDATION THAT WE HAVE IN THERE.
AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE SOME RATE DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS.
SO CHANGING THE WAY YOU CHARGE CUSTOMERS.
AND WE'RE GONNA SHOW AT THE END OF BILL COMPARISONS.
SO THE CITY OF AUBREY'S RATES MUST DO, UH, A BUNCH OF THINGS.
IT'S REALLY FUND OPERATIONS, MAINTAIN YOUR COVERAGE, UM, THAT'S REQUIRED BY BOND COUNCIL, MAINTAIN CASH ON HAND, ALSO FUND GROWTH, BUT ALSO ENSURE CUSTOMER EQUITY.
AND WE DO THAT, UH, THROUGH A FEW COMPONENTS.
THAT'S RATE REVENUE, WHAT WE CHARGE YOU FOR THE USE OF WATER.
UH, WE ALSO USE IMPACT FEES AS PART OF THIS PLAN.
SO, UM, JUST LIKE THE, THE TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEES, THE WATER AND WASTEWATER UTILITY HAS IMPACT FEES THAT HELP OFFSET SOME GROWTH.
UH, AND THEN WE, WE LOOK AT THE FINANCIAL PLAN TO TRY TO BE ABLE TO, UM, SEE WHAT WE NEED IN THE FUTURE AND PLAN AHEAD.
WE BALANCE ALL THESE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS GOING FORWARD.
SOME OF THE GUIDES WE USE ARE FROM THE AMERICAN WATERWORKS ASSOCIATION AND THE WATER ENVIRONMENTAL FEDERATION, AND WE ALSO WROTE A BOOK AS WELL.
UM, SO WHAT GOES INTO THE PROCESS? UH, REAL QUICKLY, IT'S JUST A, A LOT OF INPUTS, BUT REALLY IT'S THE ACCOUNT GROWTH.
HOW, HOW THE CITY'S GROWING, HOW THE CUSTOMERS USE WATER.
WE USE THAT IN THE MODEL TO PROJECT HOW MUCH REVENUE WE THINK WE'RE GONNA NEED AND WHAT INCREASES WE MIGHT NEED.
WE ALSO LOOK AT CAPITAL EXPENSES.
WHAT PROJECTS DO WE NEED TO COMPLETE? I THINK THERE'S 65, UM, THAT ARE ON HIS DESK NOW.
AND, UM, WE LOOK AT THE BEGINNING OF CASH BALANCES AND WE SEE HOW MUCH WE CAN MAINTAIN, UH, OVER THAT PERIOD.
AND WE ALSO, A BIG COMPONENT IS CAPITAL PROJECTS.
HOW ARE WE GONNA FUND IT? IT'S CASH DEBT.
AND WE, WE LOOK AT DIFFERENT SCENARIOS TO TRY TO SMOOTH OUT THE RATES.
AND AS I MENTIONED, WE HAVE TO MEET OUR FISCAL POLICIES.
THOSE ARE 120 DAYS CASH RESERVES AND 1.2, UH, DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE.
AND THAT PRODUCES OUR CASH FLOW AND OUR REVENUE REQUIREMENT.
THE REVENUE REQUIREMENT, SIMPLY, WHAT DO WE NEED FROM RATES TO COVER OUR COSTS? AND SO SOME OF THE INPUTS IN THE FINANCIAL PLAN WERE, WE HAD SOME INFLATIONARY PRESSURES.
I THINK WE HIT A 40 YEAR HIGH, UH, 2022 AROUND, UH, ON THE CPI.
WE ALSO HAVE WAGE INFLATION, UM, AS WELL.
AND ALSO, UM, A LOT OF COMPONENTS.
PRICES WENT UP, SO PUMPS, UH, CHEMICALS, UM, SO THAT IS STILL COMING TO FRUITION.
UH, THOSE PRICES HAVE STAYED PRETTY HIGH.
AND THE SAME WITH WAGE INFLATION.
UH, A MAJOR DRIVER OF SOME OF THE EXPENSES, UH, WHICH I WILL GET INTO, UH, WITH IN DETAIL, IS THE, UH, $50 MILLION IN DEBT WE ISSUED FOR THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT, PLANT EXPANSION AND REHAB.
THIS IS NOT REALLY DRIVING THE INCREASES, AS YOU'LL SEE.
UM, WE HAVE IMPACT FEES TO HELP OFFSET THAT COST.
UM, BUT WHAT IS DRIVING THAT IS THAT WAGE INFLATION BEING ABLE TO HAVE, UH, RELIABLE SERVICE AND BEING ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF OUR LINES AND HAVE AN ASSET MANAGEMENT PROGRAM.
SO AN ASSET MANAGEMENT PROGRAM WILL HELP KEEP SERVICE, UM, ONLINE.
AND IT ALSO WILL HELP, UM, WITH RENEWAL AND REPLACEMENT.
UM, AND ALSO HELP WITH, UH, MAYBE CCTV, BLESS YOU, UH, TO, TO BASICALLY TAKES A CAMERA IN THERE AND LOOKS AT THE PIPES, MAKE SURE YOUR SYSTEM'S, UM, THERE'S NO LEAKS OR ANYTHING.
SO, UM, ALSO VALVE AND HYDRANTS AND MAINTENANCE RENEWAL.
SO A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT THIS COVERS AS WELL AS VEHICLE UH, REPLACEMENTS.
SO HERE IS A FIVE YEAR CASH FLOW.
AND WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS THE DIFFERENT COLORED BARS ARE YOUR COSTS BROKEN OUT.
[01:20:01]
SEE A MAJOR PORTION OF THAT IS IN GRAY, AND THAT'S YOUR DEBT SERVICE.UM, WHERE WERE OUR REVENUE HIT IS THAT BLUE LINE.
AND AS WE GO INTO 26, 27, UM, WE ARE NOT MEETING OUR COSTS.
NOW THIS PROJECTION IS SHOWN WITHOUT SOME OF THE IMPACT FEES.
UM, WE'RE VERY CONSERVATIVE ON THAT, BUT WE WANT GROWTH TO PAY FOR GROWTH.
SO WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS A DEBT BREAKDOWN.
UM, I KNOW ONE OF THE BIGGEST CONCERNS ABOUT THIS WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLAN IS HOW ARE WE GONNA AFFORD IT? WELL, HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IS WE'RE TAKING THAT ADDITIONAL DEBT SERVICE THAT'S COMING ON IN 2025 OF 1.8, AND IT, IT EVENTUALLY GOES TO, UH, 2.7 AT THE END THERE.
AND WE'RE USING THOSE IMPACT FEES IN THE SECOND LINE.
AND REALLY THAT LAST LINE IS THE TOTAL DEBT SERVICE AFTER TRANSFERS.
SO WE'RE OFFSETTING A LOT OF THAT DEBT SERVICE WITH IMPACT FEES, BUT WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL.
WE CAN'T RELY ON THOSE TOO HEAVILY.
SO WE'RE REALLY CONSERVATIVE BECAUSE IF GROWTH SLOWS DOWN AND WE'RE RELYING ON THOSE TO MEET OUR COVERAGE, UH, WE'RE NOT GONNA MEET OUR COVERAGE.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE REALLY WORKED WITH STAFF TO, TO TRY TO SMOOTH THAT OUT AND MAKE SURE WE WERE REALLY, UM, CONSERVATIVE WITH THAT.
SO THIS PLAN REALLY DEPENDS ON IMPACT FEE GROWTH AND, AND I HIGHLY SUGGEST THAT YOU MONITOR THAT EVERY YEAR THAT GROWTH IS, IS COMING AS EXPECTED.
SO, UH, WE RECOMMEND, UH, AN INCREASE OF 3% FOR FISCAL YEAR 25.
AND THAT WOULD BE STARTING IN MAY 1ST.
UM, SO, UH, THAT WOULD TAKE PLACE AND IT'S ACROSS THE BOARD FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER.
AND FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025 AND 26, WE RECOMMEND A 5% INCREASE.
WE ALSO RECOMMEND A SENIOR RATE.
SO REDUCTION IN YOUR FIXED CHARGE, THAT'S YOUR MONTHLY BILL, NO MATTER IF YOU USE WATER OR NOT.
IT'S, UM, THIS HELPS OFFSET MAYBE A LOW USER OF A SENIOR THAT DOESN'T USE AS MUCH WATER.
UH, AND THE IMPACT OF THAT REALLY ANNUALLY IS ONLY $50,000.
SO NOT A WHOLE LOT, UH, IS WHAT WE, UH, WERE ABLE TO RUN THE NUMBERS I TALKED ABOUT IMPACT FEE REVENUE.
THE NEXT RECOMMENDATION IS A THREE YEAR PHASE IN OF AMERICAN WATERWORKS ASSOCIATION.
UM, RECOMMENDED METER CAPACITY RATIOS.
SIMPLY SAID, THE LARGER METEOR METER YOU HAVE, THE, THE LARGER YOUR FIXED CHARGE SHOULD BE BECAUSE THE UTILITY HAS TO MEET THAT DEMAND RIGHT AWAY.
AND SO THESE RATIOS ARE BASED ON HOW MUCH GALLONS THAT METER CAN PUMP.
I WOULD SAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
'CAUSE UH, TELS WORKS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
WE DO ANALYTICS ON A LOT OF UTILITIES.
I WOULD SAY ABOUT 60 TO 75% OF UTILITIES CHARGE BASED ON METER SIZE.
BUT WE DON'T WANNA DO IT RIGHT AWAY.
WE WANNA WORK OUR WAY INTO IT.
SO THIS IS A RECOMMENDATION THAT COUNCIL CONSIDER IN 26 THROUGH 28 A PHASE IN OF THOSE, UH, FIXED CHARGES.
SO SAY I HAVE A 10 INCH METER, I'M NOW ONLY CHARGED $40 AND 37 CENTS.
UM, THAT'S PRETTY CHEAP COMPARED TO SOME OTHER ONES.
I'VE SEEN SOMEWHERE AROUND 8,000, 10,000 IN HERE.
BASICALLY THIS RATIO IS WHAT DO YOU CHARGE YOUR FIVE 8 CENTS CUS CUSTOMER? AND THEN MULTIPLY THAT BY THAT RATIO TO THE LEFT.
WHAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF SOMEBODY THAT USES A 10 INCH P METER? UH, IT'S PROBABLY LIKE A HOSPITAL.
OR SOME INDUSTRIAL AND REALLY USING IT FOR THEIR BUSINESS.
AND THE THE NEXT RECOMMENDATION IS TO REMOVE THE WASTEWATER CAP.
UM, WITH ALL THE, UH, INCREASES IN COSTS FOR WASTEWATER, WE'RE REALLY CAPPED ON WHAT WE CAN CHARGE OUR CUSTOMERS.
SO THE RECOMMENDATION IN 26, NOT IN 25, IS TO CHARGE FOR ALL USAGE, UM, INSTEAD OF CAPPING IT AT 8,000 GALLONS.
SO WITH THAT, HERE'S THE FINANCIAL PLAN FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS.
WHAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING TONIGHT IS AN INCREASE AGAIN IN MAY, UH, FIRST OF 3% FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER FOR THE FIXED CHARGE AND THE VOLUME.
AND THEN FOR 20, UH, SIX, WE'RE RECOMMENDING EFFECTIVE DATE OF JANUARY 1ST, 2026.
AND THEN OUR ESTIMATED, THIS IS DEPENDING ON IMPACT FEES AND GROWTH OF 5% IN 2027.
ANY QUESTIONS WITH THAT PLAN? JUST FOR CLARIFICATION? FISCAL 25, THE RECOMMENDED EFFECTIVE DATE IS GONNA BE MAY 1ST.
THAT IS A, UH, THANK YOU TYPO.
DID Y'ALL RUN THE NUMBERS ON THE, THE SENIOR RATE OR JUST THAT $10 THING? UH, WE
[01:25:01]
DID THE SENIOR RATE.SO THE SENIOR RATE WOULD BE A DISCOUNT OF $10, WHICH WOULD BE AN IMPACT OF $50,000.
SO, NO, I GOT, I GOT THAT, BUT DID YOU RUN ANY OTHER NUMBERS OR WAS THAT THE ONLY NUMBER THAT YOU RAN FOR THE SENIOR RATE DISCOUNT? UH, THAT WAS THE ONLY ONE WE RAN FOR.
THAT'S TYPICALLY WHAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE INDUSTRY IS A DISCOUNT ON THE FIXED CHARGE OF 10 $20.
NOT 20, BUT 10 TO I THINK THE MAX.
WELL, IT'S LIKE YOU CAN'T GET A 12 PACK OF DR.
PEPPER FOR THAT, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I MEAN, IT'S, IT'S NOT AN INSULT, BUT IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE ONE, 'CAUSE I'M AN OLD GUY TOO.
DO THEY HAVE A SENIOR DISCOUNT AS WELL? I BELIEVE THEY DO.
UM, I SHOULD KNOW THIS 'CAUSE I, 'CAUSE I DID THEIR LAST STUDY AND THEY HAD A 5% INCREASE IN 24.
UM, SO THEY'RE CONTINUING TO GROW AND HAVING TO KEEP UP WITH THAT AND DOING INCREASES AS WELL.
UM, I'LL HAVE TO CHECK ON THAT.
YEAH, I'M NOT FAMILIAR IF THEY DO, BUT OUR, UH, CITIZENS, UH, WILL HAVE THAT DISCOUNT.
UM, MUSTANG WILL PUSH THAT THROUGH.
I THINK WE CAN TALK WITH THEM.
THIS, UH, NEXT COUPLE SLIDES REALLY TELLS YOU WHERE YOU SIT IN TERMS OF, UM, USAGE OF CUSTOMERS.
SO YOU HAVE A, TYPICALLY A, A LOW USER, 2000 GALLONS.
THIS IS MORE THE SENIOR THAT'S NOT USING A WHOLE LOT OF WATER.
UM, THAT THREE QUARTER INCH METER, 2000 GALLONS OF WATER, 2000 GALLONS OF WASTEWATER IS AROUND 79 81.
AND YOU'RE RIGHT, UH, A LITTLE BIT BELOW THE MI MIDDLE OF THE PACK THERE.
SO YOUR AVERAGE CUSTOMER USES ABOUT 5,000 GALLONS OF WATER, 5,000 GALLONS OF WASTEWATER.
UM, AND SO THE PROPOSED THERE IS ON THE, A LITTLE BIT ON THE UPPER END, BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU ALL THESE OTHER CUSTOMERS ARE INCREASING THEIR RATES AS WELL AS WE'VE DONE SOME STUDIES FOR THE AS WELL.
ANY QUESTIONS? CAN YOU BACK UP TO THAT LAST SLIDE, SIR? SO YOU DIDN'T INCLUDE MUSTANG IN THIS PILOT POINTS MUSTANG, AREN'T THEY? I DON'T HOPE SO.
ARE THEY NOT? THEY HAVE THEIR OWN ALSO.
I THINK WE WERE JUST LOOKING AT CITIES AND, AND NOT OH, PVS MUSTANG.
RIGHT? THEY HAVE THEIR OWN TOO.
I I DID DON'T HAVE IT IN MY, ON MY COMPUTER.
THE GREATER T UTILITY, UH, AUTHORITY JUST RECENTLY PUBLISHED, UM, A SURVEY AND WE DO HAVE MUSTANGS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR JUSTIN? NO, I MOVE TO APPROVE THE RATES AS PRESENTED.
UM, ITEM 19, CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION REGARDING ORDINANCE 9 0 1 DASH 25, REPEALING THE EXISTING FEE SCHEDULE, CODIFIED AS APPENDIX A AND THE AUBREY CODE OF ORDINANCES AND ADOPTING A NEW APPENDIX, A FEE SCHEDULE, MAYOR AND COUNSEL.
UM, THIS IS A REPLACEMENT OF OUR COMPREHENSIVE FEE.
UH, TONIGHT, YOU'VE, UM, VOTED ON AND ADOPTED A ROADWAY IMPACT FEE, WHICH IS IN THIS COMPREHENSIVE SCHEDULE.
AND ALSO THE WATER RATES ARE IN THIS COMPREHENSIVE SCHEDULE.
IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE DID DO SOME CLEANUP, UM, MINOR CHANGES TO SOME OF THE STAFF LANGUAGE.
WE ADOPTED, UM, SOME HISTORIC COMMISSION FEES.
WE ADOPTED THAT ORDINANCE EARLIER THIS YEAR THAT CONTAINED APPLICATION FEES.
SO THAT'S IN THIS NEW ADOPTION.
UH, WE ADOPTED A PUBLIC SAFETY RECOVERY FEE AND PUT IT, PUT THE WHOLE, UH, STRUCTURE INTO A EASE, MORE EASILY READ AND UPDATED FORMAT.
[01:30:01]
SCHEDULE IS PRESENTED IN ORDINANCE 9 0 1 DASH 25.I'LL SECOND MOTION BY MATT SECOND, MY CHECK.
[Department Updates and Discussion]
DEPARTMENT UPDATES.GOOD EVENING AGAIN, MAYOR, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, UH, SOME QUICK UPDATES ON THE FIRE STATIONS.
UH, FIRE STATION THREE IS GETTING VERY NEAR TO COMPLETION.
EVERYTHING'S REALLY GETTING DOWN TO THE VERY END.
THE DATE, UH, FOR, UH, FINAL COMPLETION IS SET FOR APRIL 14TH.
UH, SO THAT'S WHEN WE WILL START LOOKING FOR PUNCH LIST ITEMS AND MAKING SURE EVERYTHING'S KIND OF TIDIED UP.
UM, IF YOU GO BY AND VISIT, THE WALLS ARE PAINTED, UH, NEARLY ALL OF THE MILLWORKS DONE.
PROBABLY THE, THE AREA MOST, MOST INCOMPLETE, THAT'S NOT RIGHT, BUT IS THE KITCHEN, THERE'S A LOT, THERE'S SOME WORK IN THERE FOR FIXTURES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
BUT, UH, I THINK THE PD IS VERY NEAR TO A HUNDRED PERCENT COMPLETE, UH, SHORT OF SOME CLEANING AND, AND MINOR ISSUES.
SO WE'RE GETTING VERY, VERY CLOSE ON THAT ONE.
WE WILL WORK ON AN EVENT TO, UH, OPEN THE BUILDING AND, AND TIMING FOR THAT.
SO I THINK WE'RE, UH, VERY SAFELY ON THE TRACK TO OPEN THE STATION IN MAY.
MOST LIKELY, I WOULD THINK, UH, AT THE VERY LATEST JUNE, UH, FIRE STATION TWO IS PICKING UP SPEED VERY QUICKLY.
UH, WE ARE WELL OUT OF THE GROUND.
UM, THEY'RE PUTTING TRUSSES ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
UH, THE LOW LEVEL, THE, THE SINGLE STORY SIDE WHERE THE OFFICE SPACE IS, IS A HUNDRED PERCENT FRAMED.
THEY'RE STARTING TO DO SOME, UH, SHEET ROCK AND THINGS OF THAT, UH, THE, UH, MECHANICAL PLUMBING AND ELECTRICALS ALL GOING IN VERY QUICKLY.
UH, THE, UH, THE WALL IN THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY THAT, SO OUR, OUR BUILDING IS LOWER THAN THE WALL THAT SEPARATES US FROM THE HOUSES ON, UH, ASLAN.
AND SO THERE'S A RETAINING WALL THAT HAD TO BE, UH, CONSTRUCTED AND THE WEATHER WAS NOT, UH, PLAYING VERY NICE WITH US AND MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT ON THE CRUISE.
UH, BUT THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS THEY'VE BEEN POURING FOOTINGS.
AND SO THAT RETAINING WALL'S GONNA GO IN, WHICH MAKES ALL OF THAT, UH, SAFE AND COMPLETE.
AND THEN THAT'S WHAT'S HOLDING UP THE PAVEMENT FOR THE PARKING LOTS, IS THAT RETAINING WALL THAT'S GOTTA BE IN BEFORE THEY CAN, UH, PUT THAT, UH, CONCRETE IN.
SO AGAIN, A LOT OF PROGRESS THERE.
THE OUTSIDE OF THE, UH, SINGLE STORY SIDE IS, IS, UH, SKINNED WITH THE INSULATION.
SO IT'S REALLY STARTING TO TAKE SHAPE AND I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
AND COMPLETION FOR STATION TWO IS STILL, UH, SET FOR, UH, MID-AUGUST.
UH, THE LADDER TRUCK
YOU CAN SEE THE, THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE, PORTIONS OF THE BODY.
UM, AND IT'S SET FOR COMPLETION ON MAY 6TH.
UH, SO WE'LL BE SENDING THREE, UH, MEMBERS UP TO, UH, WISCONSIN, UH, TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE TRUCK AND DO A FINAL INSPECTION TO BRING IT HOME.
SO LOOKS LIKE THAT'S GONNA TIME UP JUST PERFECTLY FOR THE OPENING OF THE STATION.
UH, SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
MAYOR, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, WELCOME BACK.
I JUST WANTED TO UPDATE YOU ON POWER ENGAGE.
I WAS VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS COMPONENT THAT WOULD REACH OUT TO CITIZENS AND GIVE US REAL TIME FEEDBACK ON HOW THEY ACCEPTED THAT.
WELL, WE RAN INTO ALL KINDS OF GLITCHES.
UH, THE DAYTON COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE IS NOT, UM, BEING COOPERATIVE IN SHARING THAT IMMEDIATE DATA.
AND AFTER MONTHS OF FRUSTRATION, WE HAVE SCRAPPED THAT PROGRAM.
POWER DMS THE PARENT COMPANY OF THIS MODULE HAS BEEN VERY NICE TO ME ABOUT WE'RE GONNA WORK OUT SOME LICENSE EXCHANGE AND ALL THAT SO WE DON'T LOSE ANY FUNDING FROM THAT.
IT WAS A HEROIC EFFORT ON THEIR PART, UH, BUT IT DIDN'T WORK OUT.
IN THAT SAME VEIN, THE THE PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES US STATISTICS THAT I PROVIDE YOU IS SUSPECT AT BEST.
AND IT'S, IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT TO GET GOOD NUMBERS THAT I TRUST.
UM, WE'VE COMMUNICATED THAT WITH THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.
THEY AGREE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THEY'RE GONNA HAVE ANOTHER STATISTICAL MODULE ADDED TO THIS THAT GIVES US MORE RELIABLE NUMBERS.
[01:35:01]
THAT YOU BE PATIENT BECAUSE YOU MAY SEE SOME ANOMALIES IN THERE AND IT'S THE BEST THAT WE CAN GIVE YOU KIND OF WHAT WE'RE DOING, BUT WE'RE NOT COMPARING APPLES TO APPLES AND THE NUMBERS REALLY DON'T MEAN ANYTHING.SO, UM, I'M VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THAT PROCESS.
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE DOWN THE ROAD WE MAY BE ABLE TO SETTLE IN.
ONCE WE DO THAT, IT'LL BE ABOUT A YEAR AND WE SHOULD BE GETTING SOME NUMBERS THAT I FEEL CONFIDENT ABOUT.
I JUST WANTED Y'ALL TO KNOW IF YOU SEE SOMETHING THAT'S STRANGE, UM, I'VE DONE MY BEST TO TRY TO MAKE IT NOT STRANGE.
UM, THEN ALSO I PROVIDED YOU A COPY OF A NEW INTERNAL DOCUMENT THAT WE'RE SHARING CALLED THE WEEK THAT WAS JUST TRYING TO INCREASE EVERYBODY'S KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT'S GOING ON.
THERE'S A LOT GOING ON AND WE WANNA MAKE SURE BOTH SIDES OF THE SHIFT, WHEN THEY'RE NOT WORKING, SOMETHING HAPPENS THAT THEY GET THAT INFORMATION.
SO I JUST PROVIDED YOU A COPY, BUT IT'S ONLY AN INTERNAL DOCUMENT FOR THE ORGANIZATION.
ALRIGHT, WE SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST
I WANTED TO SHOW A FEW PICTURES TONIGHT.
I WON'T DO THIS EVERY MONTH, BUT, UM, IT'S STARTING TO TAKE SHAPE.
SO, SO THIS MONTH, UM, THEY WERE ABLE TO POUR 28 PIERS.
THAT'S ON THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING ON THE HEADWORKS.
THE WET WELL AND THE INLET CHANNEL SLABS HAVE BEEN POURED.
THE WALLS AND FRAMEWORK AND CONCRETE HAVE BEEN STARTED.
AND THAT'S THESE PICTURES HERE, ATION BASIN.
UH, THE SLAB AND POPPING HAS BEEN INSTALLED AND ON ONE OF THE CLARIFIERS, UM, THE UNDER SLAB POPPING HAS BEEN INSTALLED OR STILL ON SCHEDULE FOR TWO YEARS FROM START.
ADDITIONAL, UH, SEWER, WE'VE GOT THE PECAN CREEK SEWER LIFT STATION PHASE TWO, UM, UNDER DESIGN THAT'S 30% COMPLETE.
AND THE WEST FM 4 28 SEWER LIFT STATION IS UNDER DESIGN, UH, FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO IT.
AND IT'S 60% COMPLETE ON THE WATER SIDE, THE ROCK HILL.
WELL, UM, WE'VE, ALL OF OUR EASEMENTS ARE FINALLY COMPLETE.
THEY WERE IN YOUR CONSENT TONIGHT.
UH, WE'VE ISSUED A NOTICE TO PROCEED AND THEY'RE MOBILIZING, UH, WE'RE ANTICIPATING THAT THEY'LL HAVE, THEY'LL BRING THE RIG IN IN ABOUT FOUR WEEKS.
UM, HIGH POINT RANCH, PHASE TWO OFFSITES.
WE HAVE A, A WATER LINE THAT WE LABELED W FIVE.
UM, IT'S FINISHED AS FAR AS THE DESIGN AND IS OUT FOR BID.
UM, FAULKNER, GROUND STORAGE TANK AND PUMP STATION.
WE HELD A KICKOFF MEETING, UH, TO START THE DESIGN.
AND ALSO THE CHER BETTY WELL GROUND STORAGE AND PUMP STATION HAD A KICKOFF MEETING.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU'D LIKE AN UPDATE ON OR ANY QUESTIONS I CAN ANSWER? NO.
LOOK CRISP AND BEAUTIFUL DOWN AT THE PARK.
OH, UM, HELLO MAYOR COUNCIL, I JUST WANNA LET YOU KNOW THAT AT OUR MARCH 17TH MDD BOARD MEETING, WE DID APPROVE A NEW SIGN GRANT FOR BUSINESSES THAT WOULD BE ANY COMMERCIAL BUSINESS IN THE CITY OR ETJ THAT WOULD NEED A NEW SIGN FOR MAYBE, UM, A CHANGE OR AN IMPROVEMENT TO A SIGN, OR IF THEY'VE HAD TO MOVE A SIGN DUE TO SOME OF THE CONSTRUCTION THAT'S GONNA BE HAPPENING OR HAS ALREADY HAPPENED AND THEY NEED A NEW SIGN.
UM, SO THAT WILL MATCH THEIR COSTS OF 50% UP TO $10,000.
SO THAT IS, UM, GOING TO BE GOING OUT ON OUR WEBSITE AND I'VE ALREADY HAD A COUPLE OF CONVERSATIONS WITH BUSINESSES THAT ARE INTERESTED IN NEW SIGNS.
SO IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ON ANYTHING ELSE WE'VE BEEN DOING? NO, THANK YOU.
[EXECUTIVE SESSION]
WITH THAT WE'LL GO TO EXECUTIVE SESSION, UH, SECTION 5 5, 1 0.0711 AND TWO, CONSULTATION WITH ATTORNEY.SECTION 5 5 1 0 7 2, UH, REAL PROPERTY AND SECTION 5 5 1 0 7 4 PERSONNEL MATTERS.
FOR THE ITEM LISTED ON THE POSTED AGENDA MOTION, YOU GO TO EXECUTIVE SESSION SECOND.
SECOND BY CHUCK ON FAVOR PASSES FIVE TO ZERO.
TIME IS SEVEN 40 IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT
[Reconvene into Open Session]
CODE SECTION 5 5 1.THE COUNCIL WILL RECONVENE INTO REGULAR SESSION TO CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION, IF ANY REGARDING ANY ITEMS DISCUSSED IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
[01:40:01]
ITEM 30, CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION REGARDING DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND SANCOR ACQUISITION COMPANY, INC.UH, MR. MAYOR, I HAVE, UH, MOVED TO APPROVE A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND SANCO ACQUISITION COMPANY, INC.
AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.
ALL IN FAVOR PASSES FIVE TO ZERO ITEM 31.
CONSIDERATION OF ACCIDENT ORDINANCE 8 9 1 DASH 25 AUTHORIZING THE STREET NAME CHANGE OF SPRING HILL ROAD TO SOUTH MAIN STREET, WHERE SOUTH MAIN CONVERTS TO SPRING HILL ROAD AND ENDING AT US ROUTE 3 77.
YOU WERE GONNA, YEAH, GO AHEAD.
OH, UH, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, AS YOU REQUESTED AT YOUR LAST MEETING, STAFF WENT BACK AND REVIEWED THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAD, UH, AFTER THAT SECONDARY REVIEW OF THE POSSIBLE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH RENAMING SPRING HILL FOR THE INDIVIDUAL, UH, PROPERTY OWNERS, OUR REVISED RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE FOR A REIMBURSEMENT OF ACTUAL COST, UH, FOR THE OWNERS OF THE COMMERCIAL AT 1250 AND RESIDENTIAL AT $1,250 AND RESIDENTIAL AT $500 IF APPROVED.
STAFF WOULD REQUIRE EVIDENCE OF COSTS ASSOCIATED, UH, WITH RECEIPTS OR HOWEVER WE COULD PROVE THAT.
AND I'M HERE FOR QUESTIONS IF YOU HADN'T
WE HAVE, UH, THREE PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO WAIT UNTIL WE GOT TO THIS ITEM.
SO WE'LL START WITH CHRIS WELSH.
UH, JUST A REMINDER, UH, WE HAVE THREE MINUTES TO TO SPEAK.
UH, MAYOR COUNCIL, MY NAME'S CHRIS WELSH.
UH, THE OWNER, MY WIFE AND I HAVE A BUSINESS THAT OWNS THE APARTMENTS ON SPRING HILL AND HAVE FOR 20 YEARS.
SO WE'VE SEEN A LOT, UH, THROUGH THE YEARS.
UH, WE REMEMBER A TIME WHEN, YOU KNOW, DOWNTOWN HAD A FEW RESTAURANTS, UH, FEW SHOPS HAVE COME AND GONE.
UH, I JUST WANNA POINT OUT A FEW THINGS REAL QUICK.
THE COST TO OUR TENANTS, UH, YOU KNOW, $500 DOESN'T COVER THEIR TIME AT ALL.
UH, YOU KNOW, THERE, THERE MAY BE SOME, YOU KNOW, ACTUAL CHECK CHECKS, WRITTEN COST, UH, BUT THE TIME INVOLVED DEALING WITH ALL THE GOVERNMENT ENTITIES, CHANGING LEGAL NAMES, DEEDS, INSURANCE, UH, 500 BUCKS OR I THINK YOU SAID $1,250 DOESN'T COVER THAT AT ALL.
UH, I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT ALSO WHAT, WHAT, YOU KNOW, GENERALLY SPEAKING, WE, WE ALL APPRECIATE THE OLD DOWNTOWN, UM, BUT I DON'T THINK RENAMING THE STREETS REALLY GOING TO PUSH PEOPLE TO, TO GO DOWNTOWN.
UM, I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT, UH, WHAT, WHAT IS THE GOAL? UH, THE GOAL IS TO HAVE PEOPLE ACTUALLY GO DOWNTOWN.
UM, AND HOPEFULLY THERE'S BUSINESSES THERE THAT ARE VIABLE AND, AND, AND DOING WELL.
UM, I POINT OUT THE CITIES OF MCKINNEY PLANO, THEY HAVE VERY VIBRANT DOWNTOWNS.
UM, AND EVEN SALINA, THEY AREN'T ON MAIN STREET, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE A MAIN STREET.
SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE GOAL IS OF RENAMING IT TO MAIN STREET OTHER THAN UNIFORMITY MAYBE.
UM, OUTSIDE OF THAT, UM, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE BIG PLAN IS, AND THAT'S MY OWN FAULT.
I'M SURE YOU GUYS HAVE A MASTER PLAN FOR THAT AREA.
WHEN 3 77 COMES IN, UM, I WOULD ASSUME THAT THE SEWERS AND DRAINAGE AND STORM WATER COLLECTIONS WOULD BE BETTER, UH, BE UPGRADED.
UM, I THINK THERE'S A DRAINAGE ISSUE ALREADY ON SPRING HILL.
UM, AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF 3 77 AND SPRING HILL, UM, THAT USED TO BE A CAR WASH.
IT'S NOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS.
UM, TO ME, UH, RATHER THAN RENAME THE THE THE STREET TO MAIN STREET I'D, I'D FOCUS ON HAVING A, A BETTER CURBSIDE APPEAL.
UH, I THINK WHEN YOU DRIVE UP 3 77, YOU LOOK ACROSS THE STREET, YOU SEE THE FUNERAL HOME AND THE FLOWER STORE, IT LOOKS NICE, CROSS STREET, THE, UH, THE PHARMACY AND OPEN FIELD, THAT ALL LOOKS GOOD.
THEN YOU LOOK LEFT AND YOU SEE WHAT WAS A CAR WASH TURNED INTO A, YOU KNOW, I, I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT HAPPENED.
UH, IT'S NOT THE BEST USE OF THAT PROPERTY AS A CURB APPEAL FOR MAIN STREET OR SPRING HILL FOR THAT MATTER.
UH, OTHER THAN THAT, I, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT A DESTINATION PLACE.
AN APARTMENT BUILDING IS NOT REALLY SORRY, MY THREE MINUTES ARE UP.
UH, BUT APARTMENTS AREN'T REALLY
[01:45:01]
A DESTINATION PLACE.BUT I DO APPRECIATE HAVING A NICE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR, YOU KNOW, MY RESIDENCE AND CERTAINLY MAIN STREET IS IMPORTANT FOR AUBREY.
UH, THE IDEA OF MEAN MAIN STREET, WHETHER YOU NAME IT MAIN STREET OR NOT, I THINK IS IRRELEVANT.
SO THANK YOU MAYOR CITY COUNCIL.
WE OWN MANNER 4 0 2 TOGETHER AND, UM, BUT IS GONNA TALK ABOUT THE INEVITABLE COST TO OUR BUSINESS.
UM, THE MORE I SPENT TIME LOOKING INTO IT, THE MORE DISCOURAGED I CAME SO BECAME.
UM, I DO KNOW THAT THROUGH PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH MUNICIPALITIES, INSTITUTIONS LIKE BANKS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, DIGITAL COMPANIES, THEY'RE NEVER EASY OR TRANSPARENT.
AND THERE'S MORE, ONE MORE FORM, ONE MORE FEE, ONE MORE GLITCH.
IT TOOK ME TWO YEARS TO MOVE THE GOOGLE PIN OUT OF THE CATTLE YARD TO OUR ACTUAL BUSINESS.
UM, SO I KNOW THAT THOSE THINGS ARE NOT EASY TO DO, BUT WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS TONIGHT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING.
WE RUN REHEARSAL DINNERS, WEDDINGS, GRADUATION PARTIES, BIRTHDAY PARTIES.
WE AVERAGE 50 PEOPLE, UM, PER EVENT AT MANOR 4 0 2, AS WELL AS AIRBNB OVERNIGHTS.
AND ANY GIVEN WEEKEND, WE'RE DRIVING 50 TO A HUNDRED PEOPLE TO THE DOWNTOWN OF AUBREY.
PEOPLE WHO DRIVE THROUGH STAY OVERNIGHT, BUY COFFEE, EAT BREAKFAST AND LUNCH, BUY GAS, STOP AT THE GROCERY STORE, PURCHASE FLOWERS, ET CETERA.
THOSE NUMBERS FROM MANOR 4 0 2 DON'T INCLUDE THE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE WHO COME IN OUT OF TOWN.
FOR OUR LARGER VENUE, THAT'S JUST FOUR MILES DOWN THE ROAD, WE AVERAGE ABOUT 200 PEOPLE PER EVENT THERE IN ATTENDANCE.
ONE EXAMPLE FROM LAST SPRING FOR A CORPORATE EVENT, WE HAD A TWO WEEK TIME PERIOD WHERE THERE WERE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WORKING.
DAILY FOOD WAS CATERED IN FROM LOCAL RESTAURANTS.
LOCAL AIRBNBS WERE FILLED, GAS WAS PURCHASED FOR GENERATORS.
WE BOUGHT OUT ALL THE MULCH ON DN L'S, UH, PROPERTY.
AND THEN WE HELD THREE EVENTS TO LINK 1800 GUESTS IN THREE DAYS.
WE EMPLOY LOCAL PEOPLE, INCLUDING A LOT OF YOUNG MEN FROM THE AUBREY FOOTBALL TEAM.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE, WE ARE ALREADY LITERALLY DRIVING HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE INTO THE TOWN OF AUBREY.
WITH A LITTLE BIT OF PARTNERSHIP TYPE MARKETING WITH DOWNTOWN, WE COULD REALLY DIRECT, UH, GIVE DOWNTOWN A DIRECT BENEFIT.
THE CHANGE OF ADDRESS THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT WILL BE A HUGE TAX AND REAL DOLLARS IN TIME FOR US WHEN WE'RE ALREADY DOING OUR PART IN DRIVING PEOPLE TO DOWNTOWN AUBREY, UH, A VIBRANT DOWNTOWN WOULD BE GREAT FOR US TOO.
FINALLY, DESPITE WHATEVER YOUR DECISION IS, I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS A COUPLE THINGS ABOUT THE PROCESS OF THIS DECISION.
BRINGING THIS TO A PUBLIC FORUM AND NOT MEETING WITH THE PEOPLE MOST GREATLY IMPACTED BY THIS DECISION, AND AT LEAST HAVING TRANSPARENT DISCUSSIONS IS JUST WRONG.
THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT'S COME BEFORE THIS COUNCIL, AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD'VE BEEN AT LEAST NEIGHBORLY TO ADDRESS THOSE OF US MOST GREATLY AFFECTED.
IT'S ALSO WRONG TO CREATE A NARRATIVE THAT SAYS ONE STREET'S HISTORY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE OTHER.
OUR PROPERTY WAS BUILT IN 1914 AND IT CARRIES ITS OWN HISTORY ON SPRING HILL ROAD, THE NARRATIVE THAT GROWING DOWNTOWN, SOMEHOW IT'S DEPENDENT ON THE BACKS OF SOME NEIGHBORS THINKING SACRIFICES IS ALSO WRONG AND PITTING DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES AGAINST THOSE THAT ARE NOT DOWNTOWN, INSTEAD OF BUILDING A COMMUNITY OF SMALL BUSINESSES, PULLING TOGETHER IS WRONG.
OKAY, MAYOR AND COUNCIL ONCE AGAIN, WE COME BEFORE YOU, UM, TO STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT PURSUE THE RENAMING OF SPRING HILL ROAD.
ALLOW ME TO EXPAND ON THIS REQUEST.
WE ARE VERY MUCH, AND LET ME MAKE IT CLEAR, WE ARE VERY MUCH IN SUPPORT OF DOWNTOWN.
IN FACT, THAT'S PART OF THE REASON WHY WE BUILT MAN 4 0 2 AND CONVERTED THAT INTO AND SPENT SO MUCH TIME AND EFFORT AND MONEY TO MAKE THAT A BEAUTIFUL FRONT DOOR TO THE DOWNTOWN AREA.
BUT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AND SPENDING ALL THE TIME ABOUT DEBATING OVER IS THIS LITTLE SIGN RIGHT HERE THAT YOU HAVE THIS LITTLE SIGN HERE THAT SAYS SPRING HILL, THAT YOU WANT TO RE RENAME MAIN STREET.
OBVIOUSLY WE CAN ALL DEBATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CHANGING THIS LITTLE SIGN, BUT LET ME ASK YOU THIS.
IF YOU'RE A BUSINESS, AND I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU ARE BUSINESS OWNERS OR NOT
[01:50:01]
OR HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS, IF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A LITTLE SIGN LIKE THIS IN FRONT OF YOUR BUSINESS OR A BIG SIGN LIKE THIS SECOND PICTURE IN FRONT OF YOUR BUSINESS, I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE ONE IS GONNA BE GREATLY MORE EFFECTIVE THAN THE OTHER ONE.AND YET THE CITY IS ASKING FOUR BUSINESSES, EIGHT INDIVIDUAL SALON OPERATORS AND ABOUT 50 RESIDENTS, SEVERAL OF THEM WHO ARE VERY ELDERLY, TO SPEND A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF TIME, ENERGY, AND RESOURCES TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF CHANGING OUR ADDRESS.
AND FOR WHAT? A LITTLE SIGN ON THE HIGHWAY IS THAT REALLY GONNA DO IT? I KNOW THE PLIGHT TO THESE PEOPLE.
I HAVE GONE OUT AND TALKED TO MANY OF THEM.
THE MAJORITY OF THEM WERE EVEN UNAWARE BECAUSE THEY NEVER RECEIVED THE CITY'S LETTER.
MY GUESS IS THAT LETTER WENT OUT TO THE ADDRESS OF THE OWNER OF RECORD, NOT TO THE ACTUAL OCCUPANTS OF THOSE PROPERTIES.
SO IN MANY CASES, YOU NOT ONLY HAVE THE OWNER THAT IS IMPACTED, BUT THE OCCUPANTS AS WELL.
CAN YOU IMAGINE FOR HOW MANY YEARS THESE PEOPLE ARE GONNA TRY TO EXPLAIN ON JOB APPLICATIONS, CREDIT APPLICATIONS, ET CETERA, THAT THEY ACTUALLY DID NOT MOVE THIS IN ADDITION TO ALL THE HOOPS THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO TRY TO GO TO, TO GO AND TO TRY TO GET GOOGLE AND DELIVER TO EVEN FIND US.
SPEAKING OF GOOGLE, IF YOU'RE GOING DOWNTOWN AND TRAVELING NORTH ON 3 77, YOU'RE GONNA BE DIRECTED UP CHESTNUT DRIVE OR CHESTNUT TO SPRING HILL.
AND IF YOU'RE COMING THE OTHER DIRECTION SOUTH, YOU'RE GONNA BE DIRECTED DOWN SHERMAN.
SO YOU'RE NOT EVEN GOING TO, TO SPRING HILL.
AND ARE THESE GONNA BECOME A VERSION OF MAIN STREET AS WELL? AT THE LAST MEETING, YOU TABLED THE VOTE TO ALLOW TIME TO UNDERSTAND THE FINANCIAL IMPACT BETTER.
I'VE UPDATED OUR NUMBERS AND ACTUALLY TRIED TO PUT A NUMBER ON THE COST TO OUR BUSINESS, BOTH HARD AND SOFT COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR BUSINESS, WHICH WE, UH, WHICH WE KNOW IS GONNA HAPPEN.
AND I HAVE ATTACHED A MORE DETAILED BREAKDOWN.
SOME OF THE NUMBERS I HAVE ACTUAL QUOTES, SOME WE'RE STILL WORKING ON.
AND AS YOU CAN SEE, OUR DIRECT, UM, ESTIMATE OF COST CAME DOWN ABOUT UNDER $10,000.
LET ME JUMP AHEAD HERE SINCE MY TIME IS UP AND AGAIN, I ASKED FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE IN AUBREY AND SPENT A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY TO MAKE MANNER 4 0 2 IN THE BEAUTIFUL ENTRANCE TO THE DOWNTOWN AREA.
WHY SHOULD WE BE SETTLED WITH ALL THIS TIME AND EXPENSE TO PURPORT DRIVE TRAFFIC DOWNTOWN? ONE OF THE PREVIOUS EMAILS SUGGESTED MAY BE THERE WAS A MIDDLE GROUND THAT WE COULD BENEFIT THE INTERESTS OF ALL PARTIES.
I BELIEVE WHAT I HAVE PROPOSED DOES JUST THAT.
WE ALSO HAVE ONE MORE PERSON THAT DIDN'T GET SIGNED UP ON THE LIST.
WOULD HE BE ABLE TO SPEAK WITH THE COUNCIL'S PERMISSION? SO MY NAME IS SUNNY CARSON.
OH, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
I AM A, A RENTER, A TENANT ON 200 SPRING HILL ROAD.
UM, I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF MY SPOUSE AS WELL.
SHE HAD TO LEAVE JUST A FEW MOMENTS AGO.
SHE HAS A CLASS TO TEACH IN THE MORNING.
SO THE ANECDOTALLY AND PERSONALLY, THE IMPACTS THAT THIS WILL HAVE, UM, AREN'T AS SIMPLE AS FILING A FEW FORMS, SENDING 'EM OUT AND HAVING AN AD UPDATE ON MY STATE ID OR MY DRIVER'S LICENSE, IT COULD CARRY ON DOWN THE LINE AND EFFECT MY ATTEMPTS TO GAIN LINES OF CREDIT IN THE FUTURE.
UH, IT COULD SHOW AS AN ADDRESS CHANGE EVEN WHENEVER I'VE DEVOTED MY TIME TO THIS TOWN AS WELL.
BEEN HERE ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF.
DON'T PLAN ON GOING ANYWHERE ANYTIME SOON.
UM, WITH THAT BEING SAID, I DON'T THINK THAT UPDATING THIS ADDRESS IS GOING TO HAVE THE EFFECT THAT WE ARE ACTUALLY WANTING FOR THE TOWN.
UH, AS SOMEONE WHO
NOBODY LOOKS FOR THE STREET SIGNS EVEN WHEN THEY TURN.
THEY SIMPLY WAIT FOR THE LITTLE VOICE ON THE BOX TO TELL YOU WHEN, UH, THE GREEN SIGNS WILL NOT HAVE A MAJOR EFFECT AS BUD'S PROPOSED A LARGER SIGN AT THE END OF THE ROAD.
THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE WILL LOOK FOR WHENEVER THEY'RE VISITING TOWN AS WELL.
UM, AND MY, MY SPOUSE'S SITUATION, SHE IS A PERMANENT RESIDENT, UH, ON OUR SPOUSE VISA WITH, UM, RESTRICTIONS WITH, UM, A HOLD ON IT AT THIS MOMENT WHILE IT'S GETTING PROCESSED.
IF WE GO THROUGH THIS ADDRESS, CHANGE WHAT'S
[01:55:01]
ALREADY ESTIMATED TO BE A 36 MONTH PROCESS, JUST TO REMOVE THE RESTRICTIONS AND HAVE HER BECOME A, A COMPLETE PERMANENT RESIDENT THAT IT, IT WOULD WOULD'VE ONLY TAKEN THREE MONTHS IN THE PAST, HAS GONE TO 12 MONTHS, HAS GONE TO 36 MONTHS, AND NOW WHO KNOWS HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE AFTER UPDATING OUR ADDRESS ONCE MORE.UM, THIS IS IT, IT COULD CHANGE THE WHOLE OUTLOOK OF OUR LIVES.
UM, SHE IS A STUDENT TEACHER AT THIS TIME.
UH, SHE'S IN HER FINAL SEMESTER TO BECOME A TEACHER FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS.
UM, AND SHE WOULD HAVE TO RESCHEDULE, POSTPONE, AND EVEN POTENTIALLY WAIT AN ENTIRE SEMESTER BEFORE BEGINNING HER PROFESSIONAL CAREER BASED OFF OF THE STATE EXAM THAT SHE HAS TO TAKE.
UH, ANYTIME THAT YOU HAVE TO DO A TEACHING EXAM FOR THE STATE, YOU HAVE TO PROVIDE THEM WITH PROOF OF ADDRESS IN THIS FORM OF A STATE ID OR DRIVER'S LICENSE.
AND WE'VE, WE'RE ON THE LAST TEST, BUT IT'S, IT'S SCHEDULED TO THE POINT NOW THAT IF THIS ADDRESS GETS CHANGED, THEN SHE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CATCH THIS ROUND OF TESTS.
UM, SO THAT'S, THAT'S ALSO ANOTHER THING ANECDOTALLY HERE, BUT I DO WANT TO SHOUT OUT AGAIN.
UH, PEOPLE LIKE BUD AND, UH, THE, THE COMPANY OWNERS ON THE STREET AS WELL, UH, I JUST DO NOT SEE THIS BEING AN EFFECTIVE OR PRACTICAL WAY OF DRAWING PEOPLE IN.
IT'S SIMPLY A SMALL GREEN SIGN AND NOBODY EVEN LOOKS AT THOSE ANYMORE.
I THINK I MENTIONED THIS LAST TIME.
CAN I JUST ASK A BIG QUESTION? HARD CORNER, SOUTHWEST CORNER, THE HARD CORNER.
IT LOOKS LIKE A, UM, RETENTION POND AREA.
IS THAT ACTUALLY OWNED BY ANYBODY? THE HAR YOU KNOW, ALL THE BIG CORNERS ARE OWNED BY TEXDOT.
SO THAT WOULD BE PART OF A, A REDEVELOPMENT OF 3 77 AND AROUND THE CORNER THERE ONE.
IT'LL MOSTLY GO AWAY WHEN 3 77 GETS WIDE.
THAT 'CAUSE THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF SPACE THERE.
IT'LL BE SIX LANES WIDE WITH A MEDIAN ON.
'CAUSE I WAS THINKING, WOW, THAT'D BE A REALLY COOL PLACE TO PUT LIKE A LITTLE MONUMENT PARK THAT SAYS DOWNTOWN THIS WAY.
ANYWAY, THAT'S PART OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE MONUMENT SIGN IS IT'S, UH, YOU'D HAVE TO PURCHASE THE LAND TO PUT IT ON BECAUSE YOU CAN'T PUT IT ON THERE.
SO JUST CLARIFYING WHAT THE SITUATION WAS ON THAT CORNER.
YEAH, I THINK I MENTIONED LAST TIME WE WERE HERE, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT BEING NORTH MAIN STREET, IT'S A STREET THAT RUNS EAST AND WEST.
IT'S SPRING HILL ON ONE SIDE, IT'S 4 28.
THE FURTHER YOU GO DOWN IT GOES NORTH, IT TURNS INTO MAINE AND THEN IT'S SOMETHING ELSE AFTER THAT.
I MEAN, I DO LOVE THE IDEA OF HAVING IT BE MAIN STREET, BUT I THINK THE BENEFIT TO THE CITY OF WHAT WE GET OUT OF CHANGING THAT VERSUS, YOU KNOW, THE IMPACT IT'S GONNA HAVE ON OUR CITIZENS.
TO ME, THE, THE BENEFITS DON'T OUTWEIGH THE, THE COST OF THAT.
AND I DON'T KNOW THAT IT MAKES SENSE.
I DO THINK IF THERE'S DEVELOPMENT IN THE FUTURE AND WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, THE ABILITY TO TAKE MAIN STREET, YOU KNOW, ALL THE WAY UP TO, YOU KNOW, POTENTIALLY THE OUTER LOOP AT THAT POINT, I THINK WE LOOK TO MAKE, YOU KNOW, NAME CHANGES ON A MAIN STREET THAT RUNS NORTH AND SOUTH.
BUT WHY WE STILL HAVE A STREET THAT RUNS EAST AND WEST.
I DON'T SEE THE BENEFIT TO IT.
SO WHEN I MOVED HERE 20 SOMETHING YEARS AGO, 20 ISH YEARS AGO, I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS MAIN STREET ALL THE WAY TO 3 77.
UM, IT WASN'T UNTIL YEARS LATER THAT I REALIZED THAT IT WAS SPRING HILL AS YOU WENT ACROSS.
I THINK MOVING THAT INTERSECTION TO 3 77 MAKES A LOT OF SENSE FROM A DOWNTOWN STANDPOINT.
AND ESPECIALLY WITH THE OUTER LOOK COMING, COMING IN AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
AND I MEAN, WE HAVE VISITED THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND I DON'T, I THINK IF IT DOESN'T PASS NOW, IT DOESN'T PASS BASICALLY.
WELL, I I THINK WE ALSO START WORKING ON CHANGING HARMON WITH THE COUNTY TO MAIN STREET TOO.
AND THAT WAY WHEN THE AUTO LOOP DOES COME THROUGH IT, IT'S ALREADY MAIN STREET.
THAT BEING SAID, I MAYOR, I'D MOVE TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 8 91 DASH 25 AND UH, TO REIMBURSE PROPERTY OWNERS FOR DOCUMENTED, UH, REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES UP TO $2,000 PER PROPERTY.
I'LL SECOND THAT MY JEFF SECOND BY CHUCK ON FAVOR.
[02:00:01]
ALL AGAINST PASSES.CONSIDER AND TAKE ACTION TO APPROVE, UH, THE RESTATED FIRE PROTECTION SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF AUBREY AND ELM RIDGE WATER CONTROL AND IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT OF DENTON COUNTY.
MR. MAYOR, I MOVE TO APPROVE THE RESTATED FIRE PROTECTION SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF AY AND ELM RIDGE WATER CONTROL AND APPROVE DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT OF DENTON COUNTY AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR DESIGNEE TO EXECUTE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.
MR. MAYOR, I HAVE ONE MORE MOTION.
UM, I'D LIKE TO MOVE TO DIRECT STAFF TO PROCEED WITH NEGOTIATIONS ON PROPERTY ACQUISITION AS DISCUSSED IN CLOSED SESSION.
