AND THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT OUTLINED ANNEXATION AND ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY.
AND THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS ARE FOR, UM, COMMERCIAL DISTRICT AS A BASE DISTRICT.
UH, WE DO HAVE A, A NUMBER OF USES THAT ARE PERMITTED.
IT'S IN THE C DISTRICT, BUT ADDITIONALLY THERE ARE OTHER USES THAT WERE SPECIFIED.
UM, JUST TO BE CLEAR, SOME USES AREN'T THAT BLACK AND WHITE IN THE ORDINANCE.
SO THE ADDITIONAL USES ARE OFFICE, A GARDEN CENTER WITH OUTDOOR STORAGE AND DISPLAY, UM, ONLY TO BE PERMITTED ON THE MCNAT ROAD FRONTAGE, UH, RESTAURANTS MEETING THE TABC REQUIREMENTS FOR FOOD AND ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SALES.
UM, THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, UH, WAS ADOPTED PRIOR TO OUR RECENT MODIFICATIONS TO THE ALCOHOL USES, SO THAT'S WHY YOU'RE SEEING THAT CALLED OUT THERE.

MR. MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ZONING ORDINANCE.
SECOND MOTION BY RANDY SECOND, MY JEFF.
ALL IN FAVOR? ALL AGAINST PASSES FORWARD.

MAYOR COUNCIL, UH, JIM SABONI FROM HILLTOP SECURITIES, THE CITY'S FINANCIAL ADVISOR, IS HERE TO GIVE US A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE SALE OF THESE BONDS TODAY.
UM, FOLLOWING HIS REMARKS, UH, IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, HE'S AVAILABLE, UH, FOR QUESTION AND ANSWER, AS IS JULIE PARTAIN, WHO'S THE CITY'S BOND COUNCIL.
UH, SO WITH THAT, I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER TO JIM.
COUNCIL MEMBERS CI CITIZENS OF AUBREY.
MY NAME'S JIM S I'M MANAGING DIRECTOR OF HILLTOP SECURITIES.
I'VE BEEN FORTUNATE TO LEAD A TEAM OF PROFESSIONALS, PROVIDE FINANCIAL ADVICE TO THE CITY ON THE CITY'S, UH, UH, ACTING IN OUR CAPACITY TODAY.
WE ACTUALLY PRICE THE CITY'S, UH, DEBT ISSUANCE TO FUND THE 25 26 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
UM, TO KIND OF REVIEW WHAT THE GOALS WERE, UM, WE ACTUALLY, TONIGHT YOU HAVE ORDINANCE THAT WOULD, UM, AUTHORIZE THE ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION SERIES 2025.
CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION IS A, A DEBT INSTRUMENT AUTHORIZED BY
[00:20:01]
THE TEXAS LEGISLATION THAT ALLOWS THE CITY TO PLEDGE ITS ADDOR TAXES AND THE NET REVENUES OF ITS UTILITY SYSTEM AND ALLOWS IT TO FUND A VARIETY OF ASSETS IN A SINGLE ISSUE.AND THIS ISSUE, THERE'S GENERAL, UM, INFRASTRUCTURE OF 50 MILLION THAT WILL BE REPAID BACK BY A LEVY OF THE, UH, INS ADOR TAX AND 20 MILLION OF UTILITY FUND INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'LL BE PAID BACK BY THE NET REVENUES OF THE UTILITY SYSTEM.
THIS IS TAX EXEMPT AS A PUBLIC PURPOSE.
OUR AMORTIZATIONS 25 YEARS, AND WE HAVE A STANDARD 10 YEAR PAR CALL.
UM, UH, EARLIER, UM, THIS MONTH WE ACTUALLY HAD A CONFIRMATION OF S AND PS AA MINUS, UH, ABOR DEBT RATING, AND, UM, B OKAY.
UM, UH, A FINANCIAL WAS THE UNDERWRITER TODAY.
UM, AND, AND, UH, IF YOUR COUNSEL CONSIDERS AND APPROVES THIS JULIE PARTAIN, YOUR BOND COUNSEL WILL SUBMIT EXECUTED DOCUMENTS TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
AND WE EXPECT, UM, AFTER HIS REVIEW, WE WILL CLOSE THIS ON AUGUST 21ST.
UH, THE KEY ASPECTS OF THIS WAS PREPARING AN OFFERING DOCUMENT AND, UH, A VARIETY, UH, OF COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION, FINANCIAL STRATEGIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE CITY, UH, THE CITY'S SENIOR MANAGEMENT, CHARLES, MIKE, AND LEANNE, UM, PREPARED THAT PACKAGE FORWARDED TO THE BOND RATING C'S.
AND I'M PLEASED TO SAY THAT S AND P UH, CONFIRMED OUR DOUBLE A MINUS RATING MORE THAN JUST TO CONFIRM ME.
IT WAS A VERY POSITIVE REPORT.
I, I, I PICKED SOME EXCERPTS OF IT, BUT THEY RECOGNIZ AS A RAPIDLY GROWING AREA.
AND UNIQUELY NOT ONLY IS A RAPIDLY GROWING AREA, BUT IT REALLY POSITIVE FOR OUR COMMUNITY IS THAT WHILE WE'RE GROWING, UM, OUR HOUSEHOLD INCOME, OUR PERK, UH, CAPITAL DEMOGRAPHICS ARE INCREASING SIGNIFICANTLY AND UNIQUELY WORKING WITH SOME OF THE PEER CITIES IN THE GROSS CITIES HERE NORTH.
UM, WE'RE STARTING TO LIP THEM AND OUTPERFORM THEM, AND OUR DEMOGRAPHICS ARE COMING HIGHER THAN THEM.
BUT WHAT REALLY IS IMPORTANT IS THE THINGS THAT YOU DO COUNSEL AND YOUR SENIOR STAFF DO FROM A STRATEGY AND FROM A MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE, THEY INDICATED CONSISTENT POSITIVE OPERATING PERFORMANCE.
UM, THEY TALK ABOUT, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE BEEN VERY EFFECTIVE USING A, A VARIETY OF, OF REVENUE SOURCES TO AUGMENT THE GENERAL FUND, WHICH HELPS KEEP YOUR TAX RATE LOW.
AND, UM, THEY PROVIDED DATA SHOW THAT THEY EXPECT THAT TO CONTINUE.
YOU HAVE HEALTHY RESERVES, YOU CONSISTENTLY BUDGET CONSERVATIVELY GENERATING, UM, EXCESS CASH, SOME THAT YOU KEEP ACCORDING TO YOUR POLICY, AND SOME YOU USE TO PAY FOR ONE TIME CAPITAL EXPENDITURES, UM, OUTSTANDING.
AND, AND ONE THING THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT AND, AND THEY REVIEW, REVISED THEIR CRITERIA AND PUT MORE FOCUS ON POLICIES AND PROCEDURES.
AND YOU CAN SEE THAT YOUR STAFF PRESENTED, UH, EXTENSIVE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW THEY MANAGE THE CITY, HOW YOU MANAGE THE CITY.
UM, THEY TALKED ABOUT THE BUDGETING PRACTICES, THE, UH, TRANSPARENCY THEY GIVE TO YOU AS A COUNCIL ON A MONTHLY BASIS OF WHAT'S TAKING PLACE, YOUR ACTIVE MANAGEMENT OF YOUR BUDGET.
UM, WE HAVE FORMALIZED INVESTMENT POLICIES.
WE HAVE A MULTI-YEAR, FIVE YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, A FIVE YEAR TRENDING, UH, FORECASTING, UM, ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE LOOKED FOR ON A VERY WELL RUN CITY.
UM, AS A RESULT, WE WERE CONFIRMED IT WAS VERY POSITIVE.
UH, AND, UH, OUTLOOK IS, IS STABLE AGAIN, WE'RE GROWING, BUT THEY EXPECT THAT, UH, THE GROWTH WILL BE SUPPORTED, UM, BY THE YEAR.
STRATEGIES, UM, FOR MANAGING THE CITY CONTINUED, UH, TAX BASED GROWTH AND FUTURE POSITIVE, UH, OPERATING PERFORMANCE TO GO, UH, UP IN A RATING WE SPENT A LOT OF TIMES, UH, WE ARE, WE ARE CHALLENGED BY YOUR SENIOR STAFF TO TALK TO THE AGENCIES AND WE, WE HAVE TALKED TO THEM.
FIRST, I WANNA SAY THAT OUR AA MINUS RATING IS A VERY HIGH RATING FOR A CITY OUR SIZE AND A CITY OF OUR STATE OF EVOLUTION WHERE WE ARE GROWING, UH, TREMENDOUSLY OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS.
WE'VE FUNDED A LOT OF, OF, UH, CAPITAL TO ACTUALLY SUPPORT THIS FUTURE GROWTH.
UM, AND PART OF THE REASON WHY WE HAVE THIS RATING IS 'CAUSE OF TREMENDOUS PLANNING AND SUPPORT WE HAVE WITH THOSE PLANS.
BUT THE TWO THINGS I THINK THAT'LL TAKE PLACE IS IT'S JUST REALLY A MATTER OF TIME.
IN FACT, UM, THIS AFTERNOON PREPARING FOR THIS PRESENT STATION, I CALLED THE RATING AGENCY ONE MORE TIME, WENT THROUGH EVERYTHING AND THEY THINK WE'RE KIND OF YOUNG IN OUR AA MINUS RATING.
I'VE INDICATED TO MAYOR, TO YOU AND YOUR COUNCIL PREVIOUSLY THAT IF YOU TALKED TO RANDY C. DAVID SAY THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO BE HIGHER RATED AT THIS TIME BECAUSE EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO IS CONSIDERED STRONG OR A TRIPLE A QUALITY.
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME AND A LITTLE BIT MORE SIZE.
AND, UM, IT'S ONE OF MY THINGS THAT I'VE MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY THAT IS A PERSONAL IRR INTENT IS THAT SOMETIMES THEY TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION SIZE.
UM, AND, AND, BUT EVERY OTHER ASPECT THAT YOU CAN CONTROL, UH, PUTS YOU AT THE VERY HIGHEST RATING.
UH, WITH THAT, WE MARKETED THE BONDS THIS MORNINGS, AND I PUT THIS TOGETHER TO COMPARE OUR PLAN FINANCE.
THE ORIGINAL PLAN FINANCE THAT I PRESENTED WHEN YOU DIRECTED, UH, YOUR STAFF TO WORK WITH US IMPLEMENTED THIS, UM, BASED ON IN MAY AT THAT TIME, THE BOND BUYER
[00:25:01]
GEO INDEX, UM, WHICH WAS A WEEKLY INDEX, I PICKED THE FRIDAY BEFORE THE PRESENTATION WAS AT A FIVE 16.UM, THE ONLY THING THAT HASN'T GONE WELL FOR US, THIS PROCESS IS RATES HAVE SLIPPED UP SLIGHTLY DUE TO, UM, SOME, UM, INFLATIONARY PRESSURE STARTING TO SHOW BACK UP, UM, ON CONSUMER PRICING AND TO THE, AGAIN, POTENTIAL IN IMPLEMENTATION OF SOME TARIFFS.
SO WE'VE SEEN 14 BASIS POINTS GO UP.
THE ALL IN INTEREST COSTS I PRESENTED AT THAT TIME WAS A 5 27.
NOW I HAVE TO BE FAIR AND DISCLOSE THAT WE BUFFERED OUR INTEREST RATES AT, UM, AT, AT AT 25 BASIS POINTS TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR PLAN COULD WORK IN CASE IT INTEREST RATES WORKED AGAINST US.
BUT WHEN YOU TAKE OUT THE BUFFER, UM, WE WOULD'VE BEEN AT 5 0 2, UM, ON MAY, AND WE WERE AT 5% TODAY IN THE FINAL PRICING.
AND AS I TOLD, UM, MICHAEL, WHEN WE DISCUSSED THE SALE TODAY, THE MARKETS MOVED AGAINST US 14 BASIS POINTS.
WE PRICED TWO BASIS POINTS, LOWER THAT A TOTAL OF 16 BASIS POINTS.
AND, AND AGAIN, 16 BASIS POINTS WERE, IF YOU LOOK AT OUR, OUR YIELD CURVE ON THE MARKET ON BONDS OF OUR CREDIT QUALITY SELLING, AND IT'S REFLECTIVE OF OUR POSITIVE DOUBLE A MINUS CREDIT HERE IN AUBREY, HERE IN, UH, YOU KNOW, DENTON COUNTY HERE IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.
YOU KNOW, INVESTORS ARE LOOKING FOR COMMUNITIES NOT ONLY THAT HAVE HIGH RATINGS, BUT ARE EXPECTED TO BE STABLE OR GO FORWARD.
SO, UM, WE HAD A VERY, UH, SUCCESSFUL SALE.
UH, THE TRANSACTION THAT WE SOLD TODAY WAS THREE TIMES OVER SUBSCRIBED.
UM, AND WE WERE ABLE TO REDUCE THE PRICING DURING THE TIMEFRAME.
NOW WHAT'S THAT MEAN TO, UM, PEOPLE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A FEW BASIS POINTS, BUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 5 27 AND THE 5% THAT WE ACTUALLY TALKED 27 BASIS POINTS MEANS THAT THE ACTUAL DEBT SERVICE IS 4.6 MILLION LESS THAN WHAT WE'VE, I SHOWED IN THE PLAN FINANCE ON THE DATE OF THE SALE, $184,000 FOR EACH YEAR.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE WORK HARD ON, ON YOUR BEHALF, YOUR STAFF WORKS HARD TO HAVE THE HIGHEST RATING, BE POSITIVE 'CAUSE INTEREST RATES MATTER.
AND, AND AGAIN, THIS SMALL AMOUNT, 27 BASE POINTS MEANS, UH, 4.6 MILLION IN SAVINGS OVER LIFE OF THIS TRANSACTION.
UM, AS I INDICATED THAT PORTION OF THIS WAS FOR THE IS FUND PORTION OF UTILITY FUND, THE BOND SOURCE AND USES, AND THE DEBT SERVICES ALLOCATED BASED ON A PRO RATTA AMOUNT, 50 MILLION OF THE PROJECT FUND GOING TO THE I FUND 20 GOING TO THE UTILITY FUND.
AND IMPORTANT THING I WANT TO INDICATE IS THAT, AND THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT, UH, I WANTED TO SAY TO YOU COUNSEL AND, UH, AND TO YOUR CITIZENS AND TO THE PRESS, THAT, UM, BASED ON OUR, OUR, OUR PROJECTION GOING FORWARD AND GROWTH IN THE CITY AND WHAT'S TAKING PLACE FINANCIALLY, THIS DEBT ISSUE HAVE NO IMPACT ON YOUR INS TAX RATE.
UH, SO IN SUMMARY, UM, WE'VE TAKEN ALL THE LEGAL STEPS.
YOUR BOND COUNSEL HAS GUIDED US THROUGH, UH, THE, UH, NOTICE OF INTENT RESOLUTION THAT YOU PASSED IN, IN MAY.
UH, AND, UH, TONIGHT YOU HAVE THE ORDINANCE.
THE ORDINANCE YOU RECEIVED IN YOUR PACKET WAS BLANK, PENDING THE FINAL NUMBERS.
UM, JULIE HAS ACTUALLY ENTERED THOSE NUMBERS INTO THE, WITH THE ORDINANCE FOR AUTHORIZING CERTIFICATES OBLIGATION FOR YOUR REVIEW APPROVAL.
IF YOU, UH, PASS THAT TONIGHT, AGAIN, IT'LL BE SUBMITTED TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND IT'LL VALIDATE THAT ALL ACTIONS TAKE PLACE, UM, HAVE BEEN DONE ACCORDING TO STATE STATUTE, UH, REQUIREMENTS.
IN SUMMARY, UH, I CONGRATULATE YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
THE CITY IS ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING COMMUNITIES IN TEXAS AND THE UNITED STATES.
UH, I WORK WITH A LOT OF THEM AND THERE'S NO BETTER CITY, UM, SENIOR MANAGEMENT THAT ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDS THEIR GROWTH PLANS FOR IT TO BOTH ALLOW YOU TO HAVE THE CAPITAL TO FUND THESE GROWING THINGS.
BUT ACTUALLY THAT CAPITAL'S ACTUALLY ALLOWED YOU TO REDUCE YOUR TAX RATE, BECOME EFFICIENT, AND, AND THE FUTURE IS VERY BRIGHT AND IT'S RECOGNIZED IN THE RATING.
UM, AND I THINK THE FUTURE IS VERY BRIGHT, UH, AS YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR, UH, AS I'VE INDICATED THIS IS, UH, OUTPERFORMED WHAT WE INDICATED IN THE PLAN OF FINANCE.
I LOOK BACK ON THIS TRANSACTION, I THINK THERE'S NOTHING I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT, YOU KNOW, WE ANALYZE THAT REPORT, BUT THERE'S NOTHING COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER.
AS I'VE TOLD CHARLES AND MIKE AND LEANNE, WHEN WE GO TO THE RATING REPORTS, I THINK I KNOW YOUR CITY PRETTY WELL, AND EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO THEM TELL THE STORY, I GET MORE IMPRESSED ABOUT WHAT'S TAKING PLACE AND WHAT WHAT'S GOOD GONNA HAPPEN AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING RIGHT NOW.
SO, UM, I HARDLY RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS TRANSACTION.
UM, IF THAT CONCLUDES MY COMMENTS, I'LL ANSWER ANY, UH, QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE AT THIS TIME.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR JOHN? WELL, THANKS FOR THE WORK YOU PUT IN ON THIS, JOHN.
[00:30:01]
WE HAVE A MOTION MOVE TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE PROVIDING THE ISSUANCE OF CITY OF AUBREY TAX REVENUE, CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION.SECOND MOTION BY CHUCK SECOND BY MATT.
ALL IN FAVOR PASSES FIVE TO ZERO.
UM, JULIE, WE'LL WORK WITH YOU BIND COUNSEL TO GET THIS AUTHORIZED BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
AND AGAIN, I'M GONNA THANK YOU, UH, AND, AND SAY THAT WE APPRECIATE BEING ABLE TO SERVE THE CITY.
WE'RE VERY, VERY PROUD TO DO IT.
I LEARN EVERY, EVERY, SOMETHING NEW, EVERY TIME I WORK WITH YOUR COMMUNITY AND, AND, UH, WE'RE GLAD TO BE A PART OF YOUR TEAM.
ALRIGHT, UH, ADAM 15, CONSIDER AN ACT ON ORDINANCE NUMBER 9 1 9 DASH 25, APPROVING THE 20 25 20 26 ANNUAL SERVICE ON ASSESSMENT PLAN, UPDATE AND ASSESSMENT ROLE FOR THE JACKSON RIDGE PUBLIC PRO PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT MAYOR COUNSEL.
THIS IS A SERIES OF, UH, SAP UPDATES.
UH, JOSH ARNT FROM UNICAP IS HERE TO WALK US THROUGH THE, THE UPDATES.
UM, EACH ONE WILL HAVE ITS OWN ORDINANCE, SO WE'LL MARCH THROUGH THOSE ONE AT A TIME.
BUT, UH, WE'RE GONNA START WITH JACKSON RIDGE.
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNCIL JOSH HART WITH UNICAP.
UH, AS MIKE MENTIONED, UH, EACH OF THESE, UH, PRESENTATIONS IS, UH, PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 3 72 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE REQUIRED ANNUAL UPDATE OF THE SERVICE ASSESSMENT, EXCUSE ME, SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN.
UH, SO THE PRESENTATION I'LL TRY TO KEEP AS, UH, SUCCINCT AS POSSIBLE, A FEW DIFFERENT COMPONENTS TO HIGHLIGHT.
AND FOR EACH, UH, PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT, WE'LL REVIEW THE AUTHORIZED IMPROVEMENT OF BUDGET, REVIEW THE ANNUAL BUDGET, DISCUSS UH, ANNUAL INSTALLMENTS, UH, TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS, REVIEW ANY CHANGES TO ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY, AND ULTIMATELY REVIEW, UH, WHICH PARCELS WHO'S BEING BILLED SUBDIVISIONS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
SO, FOR, UH, JACKSON RIDGE, UH, THIS PIT STARTED ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO.
UH, ALL PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE, UH, CONTEMPLATED FOR CONSTRUCTION HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.
SO THIS, UH, PORTION OF THE REPORT IS STATIC.
WE'RE JUST REPORTING THE FINAL COSTS.
UM, EVERYTHING HAS BEEN, UH, PREVIOUSLY ACCEPTED BY THE CITY.
SO WE'LL MOVE THROUGH EACH OF OUR, UH, DIFFERENT, UH, PHASE BUDGETS.
UH, COUPLE ITEMS I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF HIGHLIGHT ARE THE SUBTOTAL EXPENSE ITEMS. YOU CAN SEE, UH, THOSE ARE SOMEWHAT FLAT, VERY SIMILAR TO LAST YEAR'S BUDGET THAT WAS APPROVED.
THE MAIN, UH, DIFFERENCE IN SOME OF THAT CHANGE IS A SLIGHT REDUCTION IN THE PROPOSED ADMINISTRATIVE BUDGET FOR THIS YEAR.
UH, YOU DO HAVE SOME DIFFERENCES, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE BOTTOM PORTION OF THE TABLE AND THE TURS CREDIT, ALTHOUGH IT IS RELATIVELY FLAT AS ALL OF THE HOMES ARE BUILT OUT.
AND I DID WANNA TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY, UH, FOR THIS PARTICULAR UHT JUST TO, UH, MENTION, CURRENTLY FOR THE TURS, UH, THAT PARTICIPATION RATE WITH THE, FOR THE CITY IS 45.2% OF THE, UH, INCREMENT THAT'S GENERATED FROM PROPERTIES WITHIN JACKSON RIDGE IS AVAILABLE AS A T UH, OFFSET OR A TOTAL TS CREDIT, HOWEVER, FOR THE ANNUAL INSTALLMENT PORTION.
AND WHAT MAKES UP THAT $293,000 NUMBER THAT YOU SEE, ONLY 38.75% IS BEING USED FOR THAT CALCULATION.
THAT DIFFERENCE OF ABOUT SIX POINT A HALF PERCENT OR SO, THOSE THAT WAS IDENTIFIED AS PART OF THE REFUNDING PROCESS LAST YEAR, THAT WAS TO BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR ADDITIONAL CITY PROJECTS.
I ALSO UNDERSTAND, UH, SEPARATE FROM THESE REPORTS, BUT RELATED TO THE TURS, UM, THAT, UH, MAY LOOK TO IN THE FUTURE, REVISED AND MEMORIALIZE THAT, UH, PARTICIP, UH, PARTICIPATION RATE DOWN TO THE 38.75%.
AND THAT WOULD GIVE THE CITY ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY, UH, WITH THOSE ADDITIONAL INCREMENTS THAT ARE GENERATED, THAT THOSE COULD BE USED FOR ANY CITY PROJECTS AND NOT JUST PROJECTS THAT WOULD BE, UH, LOCATED WITHIN THE TERRAS.
UM, SO I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT.
HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS THAT MAY ACCOMPANY THAT.
WELL, THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE DISCUSSING AT THE TERRAS UPDATE IN AUGUST, CORRECT? THE, THE CHANGE TO THE 38.75.
UH, WHAT DOES, SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS? UH, YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A SLIGHT REDUCTION FROM WHAT WAS BILLED, UH, LAST YEAR.
AND THESE NUMBERS, UH, DO NOT, UH, INCLUDE ANY TUR CREDIT.
THE REASON FOR THAT IS THE TURS CREDIT IS EVALUATED ON A PARCEL BY PARCEL BASIS.
ON AVERAGE, UH, A 60 FOOT PROPERTY UNIT IS RECEIVING ABOUT $700 INTRS CREDIT.
SO THEY WOULD BE BILLED AROUND $1,400 ON THEIR ACTUAL, ON THEIR DENTON COUNTY PROPERTY TAX STATEMENT.
[00:35:01]
FOOT, UH, LOT OWNERS ON AVERAGE WOULD BE AROUND $1,200.SO, UM, WE JUST DON'T INCLUDE THAT.
AGAIN, THERE'S GONNA BE SOME FLUCTUATION.
SOME PROPERTY OWNERS WOULD RECEIVE MORE CREDIT BECAUSE THEIR PROPERTY VALUE'S A LITTLE BIT HIGHER.
SOME WOULD RECEIVE A LITTLE BIT LESS.
UH, FOR THE PHASE THREE MAJOR IMPROVEMENT BUDGET, THE REQUESTED BUDGET IS, UH, QUITE A BIT DIFFERENT FROM LAST YEAR.
AND THAT'S MAINLY AND ALMOST SOLELY DRIVEN BY THAT LARGE JUMP YOU CAN SEE IN THE T CREDIT.
THE REASON FOR THAT IS THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR THAT PHASE THREE B, WHICH IS PART OF THE PHASE, THIS BUDGET, UH, THAT THOSE PROPERTIES, UH, LAST YEAR STARTED PAYING PROPERTY TAXES ON THE FULLY BUILT OUT VALUE.
SO I WOULD ANTICIPATE IN FUTURE YEARS THE NUMBER, THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY ADDITIONAL LARGER JUMPS.
UM, BUT THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE BUDGET REQUEST OF ONLY ABOUT $48,000 THIS YEAR, MAINLY DUE TO THAT, UH, TURFS CREDIT.
AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE, UH, WITHOUT ANY OF THE, UH, TUR CREDIT APPLICATION, THE ANNUAL INSTALLMENTS FOR THIS BUDGET ARE RELATIVELY FLAT.
I WILL NOTE, BECAUSE OF THAT INCREASE, MANY PROPERTY OWNERS FOR THIS PARTICULAR PART OF THEIR ASSESSMENT, THEY'RE NOT RECEIVING, UH, A BILL FOR, FOR THIS PORTION BECAUSE THEIR T CREDIT GENERATED ENOUGH TO HAVE, UH, NET ZERO BILLING.
UH, THE THIRD, UH, BUDGET TO JUST QUICKLY GO THROUGH IS OUR PHASE TWO PROPERTY OWNERS.
UM, AGAIN, VERY SIMILAR IN EXPENSES, UH, ABOUT $15,000 DIFFERENCE, WHICH IS, UH, DUE TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE REDUCTION, UH, REQUEST FOR THIS YEAR'S, UH, PROPOSED BUDGET VERSUS LAST YEAR.
UH, OTHER THAN THAT, UH, ADDITIONALLY YOU CAN SEE SOME ADDITIONAL RE RESERVE FUND CREDITS AND ADMINISTRATIVE CREDITS.
AGAIN, UH, FOR RESERVE FUND IN PARTICULAR, THAT'S JUST INTEREST INCOME THAT'S EARNED ON THE RESERVE FUND THAT'S HELD BY THE TRUSTEE.
WE REVIEW THOSE BALANCES AND IF THERE'S ADDITIONAL FUNDS AVAILABLE, THOSE CAN HELP PAY DEBT SERVICE.
SO YOU CAN SEE HOW, UH, THE ANNUAL INSTALLMENTS FOR EACH OF THE LOT TYPES, UH, HAD A, A NICE DECREASE AROUND 60 OR $70 FOR PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN PHASE TWO.
UH, THE AVERAGE BILL, ONCE YOU FACTOR AN AVERAGE TUR CREDIT FOR THE 60 FOOT LOTS IN PHASE TWO IS AROUND $1,500 FOR, UH, 50 FOOT LOTS IS AROUND, AGAIN, AROUND 1200, WHICH IS VERY SIMILAR TO PHASE ONE, WHICH IS THE INTENT.
THE, UH, NEXT, UH, BUDGET IS OUR PHASE THREE A BUDGET.
THERE'S A SLIGHT ADMINISTRATIVE PRODUCTION FOR THE BUDGET REQUEST FOR THIS YEAR.
SOME ADDITIONAL RESERVE FUND CREDITS THAT HAVE BEEN EARNED WITHIN THE TRUST.
UH, WE ONLY HAVE 50 FOOT LOTS, UH, FOR, UH, OUR PHASE THREE, UH, A PROPERTIES.
AND YOU CAN SEE THAT GENERATED ABOUT $40 DIFFERENCE IN WHAT THEY WOULD BE BILLED COMPARED TO LAST YEAR'S BILLING.
AND OUR LAST BUDGET AS, UH, PHASE THREE B, UH, HAS, AGAIN, PROBABLY ONE OF THE LARGER ADMIN, UH, REDUCTIONS, UH, COMPARED TO LAST YEAR.
NOW, AGAIN, THAT'S NOT ATYPICAL.
NOW THAT THE PROJECT IS FULLY BUILT OUT, EXPENSES ARE PRETTY PREDICTABLE.
UH, SOME ACTIVITIES FALL AWAY, AND SO WE FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH, UH, THESE BUDGET, UH, UH, PROPOSALS.
AND SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR OUR, UH, PHASE THREE PROPERTY OWNERS? UH, ABOUT A, A $50 REDUCTION FOR OUR 60 FOOT LOTS, AND ABOUT $45 FOR OUR 50 FOOT LOTS.
UH, ANOTHER COMPONENT IN, AS PART OF EACH REPORT IS TO REVIEW THE ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY.
THERE'S NO CHANGES TO HOW THE ASSESSMENTS ARE BEING ALLOCATED ACROSS PROPERTY TYPES WITHIN THE, UH, PI.
THERE'S ALSO ADDITIONAL, UH, NO SUBDIVISIONS OR CONSOLIDATIONS.
WERE FULLY SUBDIVIDED THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT, SO NO UPDATES FOR THIS SECTION.
UH, PREPAYMENTS, UH, WE HAVE FOUR, UH, PARCELS WITHIN PHASE ONE AT A FULLY PREPAID, UH, FOUR WITHIN PHASE TWO.
UH, THE ONE I WOULD JUST KIND OF HIGHLIGHT IS THE ONE PARTIALLY PREPAID, JUST FROM THE STANDPOINT OF SO THAT, UH, PROPERTY OWNER, THEY, UH, PARTIALLY PREPAID SOME OF THE PRINCIPAL BALANCE, SO THEY'RE STILL ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A TURS CREDIT.
AND WE'VE WORKED WITH THAT PROPERTY OWNER TO CALCULATE WHERE ESSENTIALLY THEIR TURS WILL PAY OFF THEIR ANNUAL BILLING AND THEY'LL BE BILLED $0.
SO EVERY PROPERTY OWNER HAS THAT FLEXIBILITY IF THEY SO CHOOSE TO, UH, PURSUE THAT AND PENDING ANY QUESTIONS, I WOULD RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS, UH, REPORT.
UH, PENDING APPROVAL WILL WORK WITH STAFF TO HAVE THE REPORT AND ORDINANCE FILED WITH THE COUNTY CLERK, UH, WITHIN SEVEN DAYS AND HAVE THE APPROVED AMOUNTS, UH, SENT OVER TO THE TAX OFFICE FOR INCLUSION IN THE 2025 PROPERTY TAX BILLING.
HAPPY TO, TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
[00:40:04]
DONE NO QUESTIONS TONIGHT.YEAH, I'LL MOVE TO PROVE THE ORDINANCE OF PROVING THAT 20 25, 20 26 ANNUAL SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN, UPDATE AND ASSESSMENT ROLE FOR THE JACKSON RIDGE.
DID SECOND MOTION BY MATT, SECOND BY MIKE.
ALL IN FAVOR PASSES FIVE TO ZERO.
ALL RIGHT, 16, CONSIDER AN ACT ON ORDINANCE NUMBER NINE 20 DASH 25, APPROVING THE 20 25 20 26 ANNUAL SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN, UPDATE AND ASSESSMENT ROLE FOR THE WINDRIDGE SOUTH PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.
GOOD EVENING AGAIN, MAYOR AND COUNSEL.
UH, VERY SIMILAR PRESENTATION.
UH, THE UPCOMING PRESENTATIONS AREN'T QUITE AS MEATY, JUST ONE PHASE ONE BUDGET, SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN MOVE THROUGH THESE, UH, FOR YOU.
UH, AGAIN, THE FIRST COMPONENT IS TO REVIEW THE AUTHORIZED IMPROVEMENT, UH, BUDGET.
THESE IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED FOR SOME TIME, SO THERE IS NO CHANGE TO THIS TABLE, UH, WITHIN THE REPORT, JUST RECOGNIZING THE FINAL COSTS AS FAR AS, UH, THE ANNUAL BUDGET, UH, REQUEST FOR THIS YEAR, YOU CAN SEE ABOUT A $21,000 DIFFERENCE IN THE, UH, REQUESTED BUDGET, MAINLY DUE TO ON THE BOTTOM PORTION OF THE TABLE.
YOU, UH, YOU CAN SEE A, A PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN RESERVE FUND, UH, INCOME.
SO WE WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE PASSING, UH, THOSE FUNDS ON AND PASSING THEIR SAVINGS ONTO THE PROPERTY OWNERS.
AS FAR AS COMPARISON, WHAT PROPERTY OWNERS RECEIVED ON THEIR PROPERTY TAX STATEMENT, UH, UNLIKE JACKSON RIDGE WHERE THERE'S A TURS, UH, WINDRIDGE SOUTH DOES NOT HAVE A TURS COMPONENT.
UH, SO THE AMOUNTS YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN ARE WHAT THEY, UH, PROPERTY OWNER WOULD SEE ON THEIR PROPERTY TAX STATEMENT.
SO, UH, EACH PROPERTY OWNER IS ALSO BILLED THE SAME.
IT'S ALL ONE LOT CLASSIFICATION.
SO ABOUT A $55, $56, UH, REDUCTION FROM LAST YEAR'S, UH, AMOUNT FOR THE PI ANNUAL INSTALLMENT.
THERE HAVE BEEN NO CHANGES TO THE ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY FOR THIS.
UH, THIS PAR UH, EXCUSE ME, THIS PIT HAS BEEN FULLY SUBDIVIDED FOR SOME TIME, SO NO, UH, CONSOLIDATIONS OR SUBDIVISIONS TO REPORT.
WE HAVE HAD, UH, ONE PROPERTY IN OUR PREPAY, AND SO THEY DO NOT RECEIVE A ANNUAL AMOUNT TO BE BILLED AND PENDING ANY QUESTIONS, UH, WOULD RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REPORT, AND WE'LL WORK WITH STAFF ON, UH, HAVING THE REPORT FILED WITH THE, UH, COUNTY CLERK ALL MOVE.
WE APPROVE THE ORDINANCE APPROVED IN THE 20 25, 26 ANNUAL SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN, UPDATE AND ASSESSMENT ROLL FOR THE WINDRIDGE SOUTH BID.
SECOND, SECOND, MOTION BY MATT, SECOND BY CHUCK.
ALL FAVOR PASSES FIVE TO ZERO 17.
CONSIDER AN ACT ON ORDINANCE 9 21 DASH 25, APPROVING THE 20 25 20 26 ANNUAL SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN, UPDATE AND ASSESSMENT ROLE FOR THE DUCK POINT PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
UH, SO FOR, UH, DUCK POINT, UH, SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT.
IT'S OUR, THE, THE CITY'S, UH, NEWEST PIT.
SO THE FIRST COMPONENT, REVIEWING THE AUTHORIZED IMPROVEMENT BUDGET TABLE LOOKS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
A COUPLE ITEMS I WOULD JUST WANNA HIGHLIGHT.
YOU CAN SEE IN THE, UH, SECOND COLUMN FROM THE RIGHT SPENT TO DATE.
UM, NOT MUCH AT, UH, AS FAR AS, UH, COST SPENT TO DATE.
THIS IS BASED ON REQUISITIONS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED AND REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE CITY, AND FUNDS DISPERSED BY THE TRUSTEE.
UH, THE, UH, COMPLETION DATE FOR THESE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS IS FOURTH QUARTER OF 2026.
MOST OF THE COST SPENT ARE JUST THOSE BOND ISSUANCE COSTS YOU SEE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TABLE.
UM, SO NO CONCERNS AT THIS POINT, AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH STAFF ON HAVING, UH, FUTURE REQUISITIONS APPROVED AS THEY'RE SUBMITTED.
UH, THE ANNUAL BUDGET, UH, IS PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.
UH, WE HAVE, UH, JUST INTEREST IN ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES, HOWEVER, AT BOND ISSUANCE, THERE WAS CAPITALIZED INTEREST, UH, SET ASIDE, UH, WITH THE TRUSTEE.
SO THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF PAYING INTEREST IN FULL AS WELL AS THE ADMINISTRATIVE FUND WAS, UH, FUNDED AT THAT TIME.
SO THERE'S NO ANNUAL IN SETTLES TO BE BILLED, UM, FOR THIS YEAR.
UM, HOWEVER, SINCE THERE'S NO OBLIGATION AND THERE'S ALREADY FUNDS AVAILABLE, THERE'S NO, IF THERE WAS ANY INCREMENT TO BE GENERATED, WHICH WOULD BE VERY MINIMAL SINCE IT'S SO NEW, BUT THERE'S NOTHING, UH, THERE'S NO ANNUAL INSTALLMENT TO BE BILLED, SO THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL OBLIGATION FOR THAT.
ANY PARTICIPATION FROM THE CITY FOR THIS YEAR.
UH, NO CHANGES TO THE ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY FOR THIS.
UH, UH, P ALSO, CURRENTLY NO SUBDIVISIONS, UH, WOULD ANTICIPATE THAT TILL AFTER, UH, PUBLIC
[00:45:01]
IMPROVEMENTS ARE COMPLETED AND ACCEPTED, UH, NO PREPAYMENTS RECEIVED, UH, AS OF END OF MAY AND PENDING ANY QUESTIONS, WHICH WE'LL JUST REQUEST APPROVAL OF THE REPORT, AND WE'LL WORK WITH STAFF TO HAVE THE REPORT AND ORDINANCE FILED WITH THE COUNTY CLERK.I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE APPROVING THE 20 25, 26 ANNUAL SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN, UPDATE AND ASSESSMENT ROLE FOR DUCK POINT PIT.
MOTION ON THAT SECOND BY MIKE.
ALL IN FAVOR PASSES FIVE TO ZERO.
ALL RIGHT, ITEM 18, CONSIDER AND ACT ON ORDINANCE NUMBER 9 22 DASH 25, APPROVING THE 20 25 20 26 ANNUAL SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN, UPDATE AND ASSESSMENT ROLE FOR AUBREY PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NUMBER ONE, KEYLAND.
SO, AGAIN, SOME VERY SIMILAR PRESENTATION FOR KEENELAND.
UH, THE IMPROVEMENTS ARE COMPLETED AND ACCEPTED.
SO SIMILAR TO WINDRIDGE SOUTH AND JACKSON RIDGE.
THIS TABLE, UH, WOULD BE ANTICIPATED TO REMAIN STATIC, UH, FROM THIS POINT MOVING FORWARD.
I BELIEVE THOSE IMPROVEMENTS WERE COMPLETED IN SEPTEMBER OF 23, ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO.
IN, UH, REVIEW OF THE ANNUAL BUDGET, UH, THERE'S AGAIN, UH, QUITE A BIG DIFFERENCE ABOUT, UH, $65,000 OR SO IN THE REQUESTED BUDGET AS FAR AS ANNUAL IN INSTALLMENTS COMPARED TO LAST YEAR.
UH, A GOOD PORTION OF THAT, THERE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL CREDITS AND RESERVE FUND INCOME, AND YOU'LL NOTICE THAT OUR TOURS CREDIT HAS STARTED TO, UH, JUMP UP ABOUT $24,000 FROM, UH, LAST YEAR.
I WOULD JUST AS KIND OF AN ASIDE OVER THE NEXT TWO OR THREE YEARS, I WOULD ANTICIPATE, UM, THIS AMOUNT TO JUMP PRETTY, UH, RAPIDLY, UH, JUST AS HOMES ARE BEING BUILT OUT AND PROPERTY VALUES INCREASE IN, UH, THE TAX REVENUE, UH, INCREASES AS WELL.
YOU CAN SEE THE, UH, ANNUAL INSTALLMENT DIFFERENCE COMPARED TO A PRIOR YEAR IS A LITTLE OVER A HUNDRED DOLLARS DIFFERENCE.
AGAIN, MAINLY DUE TO, UH, THE FIRST CREDIT, UH, THAT'S BEING PROVIDED TO ASSIST IN THE ANNUAL INSTALLMENT PAYMENT.
UM, ONE OTHER ITEM I DID WANNA NOTE.
UH, SO FOR, UH, KEELAND, THERE'S A 30 PER 38% PARTICIPATION.
AND IT'S, THERE'S A SIMILAR CONCEPT FOR A DUCK POINT WHERE THEY'RE 48%.
HOWEVER, IN BOTH OF THESE, UH, PROJECTS, THERE IS A TARGET NET ANNUAL INSTALLMENT WHERE, UH, WE WILL REVIEW, THERE'S A SPECIFIC DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT ONCE THAT PROPERTY HITS THEIR TURS CREDIT WOULD BE CAPPED AT THAT AMOUNT.
SO IN JACKSON RIDGE, UH, ESSENTIALLY WHATEVER TUR CREDIT IS GENERATED FROM PROPERTY, FOR THE MOST PART, THEY COULD APPLY THAT IN FULL, UH, FOR, UH, PROPERTIES WITHIN, UH, KEENELAND AND DUCK POINT, THERE'S A, A TARGET, UH, ANNUAL NET ANNUAL INSTALLMENT.
SO FOR, UH, PROPERTY OWNERS IN KEENELAND, THAT TUR CREDIT WILL BE ABOUT $500 BALLPARK TO WHERE THEY WOULD HIT THAT, UH, NET ANNUAL INSTALLMENT AMOUNT.
AND ANY, ANY ADDITIONAL TOURIST INCREMENTS THAT WOULD BE GENERATED FROM THE PROPERTY OWNERS WOULD BE, UH, AVAILABLE FOR THE CITY TO USE.
UH, THERE ARE NO CHANGES TO THE ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY.
UH, THERE'S ALSO NO ADDITIONAL SUBDIVISIONS OR CONSOLIDATIONS TO REPORT, UH, AS THE PIT WAS HAS BEEN FULLY SUBDIVIDED.
ALSO, TO DATE, WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY ASSESSMENT PREPAYMENTS FROM PROPERTY OWNERS, UH, WITHIN, UH, KEELAND.
AND THEN PENDING ANY QUESTIONS, UH, WE JUST REQUEST APPROVAL OF THE REPORT AND WE'LL WORK WITH STAFF TO HAVE IT FILED WITH THE COUNTY CLERK'S OFFICE.
MR. MAYOR, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE APPROVING TO 20 25, 20 26 ANNUAL SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN AND UPDATE, UH, AN ASSESSMENT ROLE FOR THE AUBREY PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.
NUMBER ONE, SECOND MOTION BY RANDY.
ALL IN FAVOR PASSES FIVE TO ZERO.
ALRIGHT, ITEM 19, CONSIDERATION AND ACTION ON AWARDING A BID TO PAVILION CONSTRUCTION FOR VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK, PHASE TWO CONSTRUCTION FOR AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $1,291,148 AND 99 CENTS, AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.
GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
I DO HAVE A QUICK PRESENTATION HERE TO GO OVER, UH, FOR OUR NEXT PHASE OF VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK.
UM, SO JUST A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF WHAT WE'VE SEEN IN OUR FIRST PHASE.
UH, WE HAVE SIDEWALK PAVING AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE PARK, UH, ALONG MAIN STREET, PLUM AND MULBERRY.
UH, WE HAD THE INSTALLATION OF EL UH, ELECTRICAL BOLLARDS, UH, STREET LAMP LIGHTING, UH, IRRIGATION ALONG THE PERIMETER OF THE PARK, UH, LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS, PAVERS, BENCHES, UH, NEW TRASH CANS ALONG MAIN STREET.
[00:50:01]
SOME PARALLEL PARKING ALONG MULBERRY AND PLUM STREET.SO HERE I JUST HAVE A FEW PHOTOS SHOWING YOU, UH, SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WERE MADE.
UM, THE PICTURE ON THE FAR RIGHT IS THE BALLARD THAT I TAKE A LOT OF PRIDE IN FINDING AND FINALLY GET INSTALLING.
SO, UH, TOOK A WHILE, BUT WE FINALLY GOT IT DONE.
UH, SO HERE WE HAVE, UH, RENDERING OF WHAT THE PARK WAS INTENDED TO LOOK LIKE, UM, AND KIND OF OUR FINAL COMPLETION.
UM, SO I INCLUDED THE PICTURE ON THE RIGHT JUST BECAUSE IT DOES GIVE YOU A SLIGHT VIEW OF WHAT THE PARK USED TO LOOK LIKE.
IF YOU LOOK UNDER THE LAYERS, YOU CAN STILL SEE THE HOUSE THAT WAS THERE ON 3 0 1 MAIN.
UM, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THE PARK IS COMPLETELY, UH, DIFFERENT AT THIS POINT NOW THAT YOU SEE IT.
SO, MOVING INTO PHASE TWO, UM, THIS WILL INCLUDE BATHROOM AND STORAGE, UH, ROOM, UH, NEW PICNIC TABLES, UH, LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS, MARQUES SIGN, UH, SHADE AROUND THE STAGE, FULL PARK IRRIGATION.
UH, LITTLE BIT OF NEW SIDEWALKS AND PARKING BEHIND THE STAGE.
UH, SO I DO WANT TO TAKE TOUCH A LITTLE BIT ON SOME SPECIFIC ITEMS. UH, ONE IS THE PRE-ENGINEERED RESTROOM BUILDING.
UM, SO THIS BUILDING WAS MODELED TO LOOK AT, UH, SIMILAR TO THE AUBREY TRAIN DEPOT STATION THAT WAS HERE MANY YEARS BACK.
UH, THIS IS ALSO A CLIMATE CONTROLLED BATHROOM, UH, AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT IS DESPERATELY NEEDED IN OUR PARK, UH, IS RESTROOMS. UM, IN ADDITION TO THAT, IT DOES HAVE A PAVILION.
UH, IT DOES HAVE A WATER FOUNTAIN WITH A, UH, WATER BOTTLE FILL STATION AS WELL.
SO, UH, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK WILL LOOK GREAT AND SOMETHING WE PROBABLY NEEDED IN THAT AREA FOR A LITTLE BIT.
UH, THE OTHER ITEM I WANTED TO TOUCH BASE ON IS THE, UH, SAIL SHAPE STRUCTURE.
UM, SO THE IMAGE ON THE LEFT IS SHOWING YOU EXACTLY WHAT THOSE SAIL SHADES ARE GONNA LOOK LIKE AROUND THE STAGE.
AGAIN, SOMETHING THAT WE DESPERATELY NEED AROUND THAT STAGE IS SHADE.
UH, WHENEVER WE DO HAVE OUR SUMMER MUSIC SERIES, WE HAVE SOME SEVERE SUN THAT GOES RIGHT INTO OUR ENTERTAINERS.
UM, AND SO IT CAN BE A LITTLE TOUGH, UH, AS WE'VE SEEN SOME A HUNDRED DEGREE TEMPERATURE HERE LATELY.
SO I THINK THIS WILL REALLY HELP AND HOPEFULLY BE WAY BETTER FOR OUR ENTERTAINERS GOING FORWARD.
UH, AND SO LASTLY, THIS IS, UH, THE FINAL RENDERING OF WHAT PHASE TWO WILL ENTAIL AND, UH, WHAT WE EXPECT TO SEE WHEN EVERYTHING IS ALL SAID AND DONE WITH THE PARK.
UM, SO WE DID REQUEST BIDS FOR, UM, AND THEY WERE ADVERTISED FOR TWO CONSECUTIVE WEEKS.
WE RECEIVED BIDS ON JUNE 30TH.
THE LOWEST OF THE EIGHT BIDS WAS RECEIVED FROM PAVILION CONSTRUCTION, UM, BASED ON THE ESTIMATED QUANTITIES, UH, IN THE BID PROPOSAL AND THE UNIT PRICES.
UM, PAVILION CONSTRUCTION WAS OUR LOW BID AT THE AMOUNT OF $1,291,148 99 CENTS.
PAVILION CONSTRUCTION PROVIDED A LIST OF EXPERIENCE AND REFERENCES, UH, FOR THIS PROJECT WITH A SIMILAR SCOPE AND FEE.
WESTWOOD REACHED OUT TO TWO OF THESE REFERENCES AND CONFIRMED FAVORABLE EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH PAVILION.
UM, SO BASED ON THE INFORMATION THAT WE DO HAVE, UH, WE SEE NO REASON NOT TO AWARD THE CONTRACT FOR THE REFERENCED, UH, PROJECT PAVILION CONSTRUCTION, UH, IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,291,148 AND 99 CENTS.
MAY I MOVE TO APPROVE, UH, AWARDING THE BID TO PAVILION CONSTRUCTION, THE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $1,291,148 AND 99 CENTS, AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MAN MANAGER TO EXECUTE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.
SECOND COMM, MY JEFF, SECOND, MY CHECK FAVOR, FAVOR PASSES FIVE TO ZERO ENTHUSIASM.
YEAH, WE'LL SEE HOW FAST I CAN GET IT DONE.
ALL RIGHT, ITEM 20 RECEIPT PRESENTATION OF THE PROPOSED AUBREY MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT 20 25, 20 26 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET FROM, UH, MR. TIM HYMAN.
ALRIGHT, UH, MY NAME IS TIM HYMAN.
I'M THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE AUBREY MDD, THE PRESIDENT AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, OUR ON VACATION.
SO, UH, IT'S BEEN MY TASK TO DO THIS.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE MAYOR AND THE COUNCIL, ESPECIALLY MIKE BROWNING, FORMER MEMBER OF THE AUBREY MDD.
UM, THIS IS GONNA BE A PRETTY QUICK PRESENTATION.
[00:55:01]
MET ON JULY 8TH.WE REVIEWED THE BUDGET, WE DEBATED THE BUDGET, AND, UM, WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS THE PROPOSED BUDGET THAT WE ALL AGREED ON, AND WE'LL GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE FOR THAT.
UH, I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH ALL THE LIME ITEMS. UH, I'M A BIG FAN OF, UH, MATERIALITY.
BUT WHAT I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT IS THAT EARLIER THIS YEAR, WE APPROVED A ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTAL, UH, DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN.
AND SO SINCE WE HAD THAT IN PLACE, IT MADE THE BUDGET PROCESS A LITTLE EASIER.
WE KIND OF HAD SOME GUIDEPOSTS THAT WE COULD, UH, WORK TOWARDS.
AND BASICALLY THE FOUR GOALS THAT THE PLAN CAME UP WITH THAT THAT KIND OF FRAMED THE BUDGET WAS, UH, WE WANNA START A, A BUSINESS ACCELERATOR PRO PROGRAM.
UH, MOST OF THE CITIES AROUND US, WHETHER IT BE DALLAS, FRISCO, MCKINNEY, DENTON, THEY ALL HAVE ONE OF THESE PROGRAMS. IT'S BASICALLY AN INCUBATOR PROGRAM WHERE YOU, UH, BRING IN ENTREPRENEURS OR, OR NEWLY STARTED BUSINESSES, AND IT'S A 10 WEEK PROGRAM WHERE THEY HAVE MENTORS AND SPEAKERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO IT'S USED TO KIND OF ACCELERATE, INCUBATE AND GROW BUSINESSES THAT WANNA STAY HERE.
THEY CAN BE A HOME-BASED BUSINESS, IT CAN BE A REGULAR BUSINESS, BUT, UH, WE THINK THAT'S A REALLY GOOD PROGRAM, ESPECIALLY SINCE EVERYONE ELSE DOES IT.
AND IT'S ONLY A $10,000 LINE ITEM, WHICH IS NOTHING.
AND THAT COVERS THE INSTRUCTORS AND MATERIAL, EVERYTHING.
SO THAT'S A, WE THINK THERE'S GONNA BE A MULTIPLIER EFFECT ON THAT LINE ITEM FOR SURE DOWN THE ROAD.
UM, PLUS IT DOES HELP COMPETITIVELY.
LET'S BE HONEST, IT'S ALL ABOUT MARKETING AROUND HERE.
UM, WE WERE PRETTY SUCCESSFUL THIS YEAR, WHETHER IT WAS MAGAZINE ADVERTISEMENTS OR FACEBOOK POSTS.
UH, YOU CAN SEE STATISTICALLY THE, THE NUMBER OF ENGAGEMENTS GOES UP EVERY, EVERY MONTH, UH, EVERY QUARTER.
SO, UH, THIS WOULD BE THINGS LIKE IF WE WOULD DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY, THIS WOULD BE MORE, UH, TRADE SHOW ATTENDANCE, MORE OUTREACH PROGRAMS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
A LITTLE BE A LITTLE MORE PROACTIVE, A LITTLE MORE VISIBLE.
UH, SO WE THINK THAT'S ALSO PRETTY GOOD USE OF, OF FUNDS, UM, PROPERTY AND DEVELOPMENT AS WE ACQUIRE BUSINESSES OR LAND AND, AND HELP THE CITY GROW AND AUGMENT THAT GROWTH, YOU KNOW, THAT'S GONNA, THAT FALLS UNDER OUR PURVIEW.
SO THAT'S PART OF THE, THE DEAL.
AND THEN THE LAST ONE'S PRETTY IMPORTANT.
UM, I'LL TALK ABOUT THE AMOUNT, WELL, IT'S 150,000 ITEM THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT, BUT WE WANTED TO DO FEASIBILITY STUDIES BECAUSE WE'RE STARTING TO ENCOUNTER AS BUSINESSES AND OWNERS AND PROPOSED PEOPLE COME IN AND START TO TALK TO CHRISTINE AND, AND PEOPLE LIKE THAT.
WE REALLY DO NEED FEASIBILITY STUDIES WHERE WE CAN SHOW FUTURE POTENTIAL EMPLOYERS, UH, CONTRACTORS, WHATEVER.
A AND, AND, AND THIS WOULD BE ANYTHING FROM A HOTEL VIABILITY, FEASIBILITY OF A HOTEL, YOU KNOW, AT, AT ANY SIZE.
IT COULD HELP WITH THE, UM, AS WE DEVELOP THE SPORTS COMPLEXES, THAT WOULD BE A HOTEL, WHICH YOU CAN DO ALL KINDS OF OTHER THINGS, NOT JUST, UM, NOT JUST HOTELS.
IT COULD BE HEALTHCARE FACILITIES OR THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND THAT HASN'T BEEN IN THE BUDGET, BUT I, WE THOUGHT THAT WE'RE NOW TO THE POINT WHERE WE'RE GONNA NEED THAT CITY COUNCIL CAN USE IT AS WELL.
SO IT, IT'S JUST GONNA BE SOMETHING THAT ARE QUIVER THAT I THINK WILL BE REALLY HELPFUL.
UM, SO THAT'S WHERE THE MATERIAL ITEMS, WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.
UM, SO THE BIGGEST PART OF THE BUDGET, IF YOU ADD IT ALL UP, ABOUT HALF THE BUDGET, $550,000 IS FOR MATCHING GRANTS, MUNICIPAL PROJECTS, AND OTHER ECONOMIC INCENTIVES, WHICH IS BASICALLY WHAT THE MVD DOES.
AND SO, UM, THIS YEAR IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE MONEY THAN IT WAS THE YEAR BEFORE, BUT AGAIN, WE'RE PROGRESSING AND, AND THE BOND PRESENTATION IS A GREAT PITCH FOR WHAT WE'RE DOING.
AND WHAT, WHAT WE CAN HELP DO IS AS THIS WAVE OF GROWTH COMES AND EVERYBODY GETS EXCITED, WE'RE HERE TO KIND OF HELP GUIDE IT A LITTLE BIT AND ALSO INCENTIVIZE IT IN CORRECT WAYS.
SO WE'VE INCREASED OUR BUDGET A LITTLE BIT IN THAT AREA AND WE DECREASED IT, UH, IN TERMS OF LIKE ABSOLUTE PROPERTY PURCHASES.
SO WE, WE TOOK MONEY OUT OF THAT AND PUT IT INTO THIS.
AGAIN, WE'RE, WE'RE LOOKING MORE AS A GROWTH ENGINE NOW AS JUST OPPOSED TO A CARETAKING UH, ENTITY.
UM, THE OTHER, THE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE, UM, IN THERE IS THE $180,000 FOR DEBT SERVICE FOR THE, UM, APPROVED DEVELOPMENTAL PROJECT.
UM, OTHER THAN THAT, EVERYTHING ELSE IS JUST KIND OF MARGINAL INFLATION ADJUSTED, MINIMAL, COUPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS HERE, PLUS AND MINUS GIVE AND TAKES.
SO, UM, IF WE GO TO THE LAST SLIDE, IF YOU LOOK AT THE PROJECTED INCOME OF TWO POINT OR 1.284, I'M SURE YOU ALL WENT TO PAGE 695 OF YOUR PRESENTATION PACKET WHERE IT SHOWED THE, UH, YEAR TO DATE BUDGET AND IT SHOWS THAT WE HAD A, UM, WE'RE ALREADY AT 1.3 MILLION FOR THE YEAR.
SO THE QUESTION IS WHY WOULD WE BE PROJECTING LESS INCOME NEXT YEAR THAN
[01:00:01]
THIS YEAR? UH, WE DID GET SEVERAL ONE TIME AUDIT BUMPS THAT WE GOT FOUR, UM, OF SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.SO THE PROPOSED BUDGET IS ACTUALLY $120,000 HIGHER THAN THE RUN RATE OF REVENUE, EVEN THOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S A DECREASE BASED ON THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT.
UM, WE HAVE $3.8 MILLION IN THE BANK EVEN WITH INCREASING ALL THESE, UH, GRANTS AND, AND THINGS OF THESE, WHICH AGAIN, ARE CONTINGENT.
I MEAN, IT MAY HAPPEN, IT MAY NOT, BUT EVEN IF WE'D SPENT ALL THAT MONEY, WE'D STILL HAVE ALMOST AN $80,000 SURPLUS ON TOP OF OUR ONE, OUR $3.8 MILLION.
SO I THINK, UH, I LIKE, LIKE TO SAY THAT THE STAFF AND EVERYBODY DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB OF RE-ENGINEERING OUR THOUGHT PROCESS.
AND I THINK THAT IT DOES SHOW THAT WE'RE AUGMENTING WHAT THE GOAL IS OF THE COUNCIL AND OF THE CITY AND THE CITIZENS.
SO, ANY QUESTIONS ON ANY OF THAT? NO, I THINK YOU GUYS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB ON THE AMD.
NEXT TIME I'LL WEAR A SUIT AND TIE
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK ON ALL THAT.

IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE'S AN IMMEDIATE NEED FOR STAFFING.

UM, STATION TWO IS ABOUT 75% COMPLETE.
UH, FIRST AND SECOND FLOOR HAVE BEEN SHEET ROCKED.
UH, THEY'RE STARTING TO BRICK, THEY START ON THE BACKSIDE AND THEN THEY'LL WORK AROUND, UH, KIND OF COUNTERCLOCKWISE AROUND THE BUILDING.
SO IT'S STARTING TO TAKE SHAPE, UM, AND LOOKING VERY NICE.
UH, IF YOU STOP BY THERE AND GO INSIDE, YOU CAN REALLY SEE THE FOOTPRINT NOW WITH THE SHEET ROCK UP.
SO ALL THE ROUGH IN PLUMBING ELECTRIC HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
UH, ALL OF THE CONCRETE IS POURED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE PAD FOR THE GENERATOR AND SOME SIDEWALKS, UH, COORDINATION IS ONGOING WITH, UH, THE ARCHITECTURE FIRM FOR THE PARK.
UH, SO THERE'S, THEY'RE COORDINATING THE IRRIGATION AND, UH, PIPES THAT NEED TO GO UNDER SIDEWALKS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO EVERYTHING'S MOVING ALONG SMOOTHLY THERE.
THEY'VE GIVEN US, UH, AN ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE IN, UH, EARLY OCTOBER.
SO MOVING, MOVING RIGHT ALONG.
I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
I JUST HAVE A FEW UPDATES FOR Y'ALL.
UH, WE RECEIVED CONFIRMATION FROM THE TEXAS STATE LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES COMMISSION THAT THE LIBRARY WILL BE ACCREDITED FOR STATE FISCAL YEAR 2026.
SO WE'LL RECEIVE OUR FORMAL LETTER.
UM, EARLY FALL, UH, SUMMER READING'S BEEN GOING WELL SO FAR.
WE'VE HAD 830 SIGNUPS AND, UH, WE HAVE MET 4,929 OF OUR DAILY READING GOALS.
SO THE COMMUNITY'S DOING A GREAT JOB THIS SUMMER.
AND THEN THE LAST THING I HAVE IS OUR SUMMER READING FINALE WILL BE FRIDAY, AUGUST 1ST, AND THAT'LL BE FROM SIX TO 8:00 PM IT'LL BE AN OUTDOOR FUN FAIR, SO WE'LL HAVE FOOD TRUCKS, BOUNCE HOUSES, A FOAM PIT AND CRAFT STATIONS.
SO WE HOPE TO SEE THE COMMUNITY OUT THERE.
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
UH, BLACKJACK IS MOVING ALONG.
THE DRIVEWAY'S IN, UH, WE GOT SOME CLARITY ON THE FENCE.
UH, WE THINK MAYBE THE FENCE IS GONNA BE TAKEN CARE OF.
THERE ARE A COUPLE MORE THINGS TO WORK OUT.
LOOKS LIKE A GOOD COOPERATIVE GROUP OF PEOPLE GONNA PUT UP A VERY NICE FENCE FOR US.
UM, THE INSIDE'S BEEN PAINTED AND THE CLEANING CREWS COMING.
THEY SAID IT'D TAKE ABOUT THREE DAYS TO GET IT CLEANED UP.
WE HAVE A GLITCH WITH THE INTERNET ACCESS.
WE HAVE A MEETING WITH THE INTERNET PROVIDER ON FRIDAY, SO WE HELP TO GET THAT WORKED OUT, BE ABLE TO GET THE INTERNET OUT THERE TO THE BUILDING THAT'S LOOKING REALLY GOOD.
IT SHOULDN'T BE TOO MUCH LONGER IF WE CAN GET THE, THE INTERNET SITUATION ADDRESSED.
WE SHOULD BE OPERATIONAL BY THE END OF THE MONTH.
SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO, THANKS, CHIEF.
WE, UM, WE'VE BEEN KEEPING UP PRETTY GOOD ON THE WATER.
I MEAN, THIS TIME OF THE YEAR, THAT'S THE BIG GOAL.
WASTEWATER TAKES CARE OF ITSELF THIS TIME OF THE YEAR.
I MEAN, IT DRIES UP
BUT, UM, THE WATER, THE GUYS HAVE BEEN REAL REACTIVE WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS.
WE HAD A STRUCTURE FIRE ONE NIGHT AND A MAIN BREAK IN THE SAME AREA, AND I'VE LOST A LOT OF WATER, BUT THE GUYS WERE QUICK TO GET THERE AND GET IT BACK TOGETHER.
AND THEN A FEW DAYS LATER, WE HAD CONTRACTOR START OVER AT THE FAULKNER TANK.
WE'RE LAYING THE LINE ON D STREET SO THAT THE PAVERS COULD BUILD A STREET ON TOP OF IT.
AND THEY SNAGGED THE PIPE THAT USED TO GO TO THE ORIGINAL ELEVATOR STORAGE TANK OVER THERE AND STARTED DRAINING THE WORLD.
BUT THE GUYS, AGAIN, THEY GOT THERE QUICK, CLOSED THE VALVE AND SAVED THE TANK.
AND SO THAT THEY'VE MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE, YOU KNOW, IN HOW QUICK THEY'VE REACTED.
AND, UM, WE'VE HAD A FEW SMALL LEAKS THAT MAYBE SOME OF 'EM HAVE BEEN LEAKING FOR A LITTLE WHILE, AND WE WENT AHEAD FIXED THOSE.
SO WE DON'T START OUT WHOLE, YOU KNOW.
BUT, UH, CONSTRUCTION WISE, WE'VE GOT, UM, AT THE WASTEWATER PLANT, WE GOT TWO SECONDARY CLARIFIER SLABS.
NOW, I THINK YESTERDAY MORNING THEY POURED
[01:15:01]
300 AND SOMETHING YARDS CONCRETE FOR THE SECOND ONE.AND IT'S ACTUALLY STARTING TO COME OUTTA THE GROUND, YOU KNOW, FOR SO LONG.
YOU SEE THE DITCHES AND THE PIPES AND SO FORTH, AND THEY COVER THAT.
AND NOW THERE'S ACTUALLY A WASTEWATER PLANT STARTING TO COME OUTTA THE GROUND.
UM, THE, WELL, THEY, UM, HAVE THE COLUMN PIPE IN 16 INCH PIPE.
IT'S, IT'S ACTUALLY A WELL AND GROUND NOW A HOLE.
AND THE PRESSURE CEMENTED BETWEEN THE CASING AND THE THE GROUND.
SO, UM, NOW THEY'RE WORKING IN THE WATER SAND, THEY'RE ACTUALLY REAMING IT, GETTING READY FOR THE GRAVEL ON THE SCREEN.
SO THAT GOING REALLY WELL TOO.
UM, WE'VE GOT SIDEWALK AND PARKING LOT GOING IN, YOU KNOW, BEHIND CITY HALL AND FIRE STATION.
AND THAT'S ALL GONE REALLY WELL TOO.
THE GOOD CONTRACTORS AND EVERYBODY COOPERATING AND HELPING HAD TWO DOORS FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND NOW YOU'VE GOT THOSE BACK.
AND TWO MORE WENT OUT OF BUSINESS TODAY,
SO I THINK THAT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL OF IT.
THEY STILL HAVE A LOT OF STORM DRAIN AND STUFF TO POUR BEFORE THEY CAN PUT IN THE PARALLEL PARKING SPOTS AND SO FORTH.
BUT ANYWAY, EVERYTHING GOING GOOD? UH, SUMMER'S HERE, SO WE'RE HAVING A DEAL EVERY TIME.
A MAIN BREAKER, OH, THIS IS THE ONE I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
