RIGHT.WE ARE GOING TO RECEIVE AN UPDATE FROM THE CITY MANAGER OF AUBREY ON AUBREY GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT.
THANK YOU, CHARLES, FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT TO GIVE US YOU'RE QUITE WELCOME.
WELL, MDD BOARD, FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR VOLUNTEERING FOR THESE, THIS JOB.
UM, SO WHAT WE WANNA DO TONIGHT IS KIND OF GO OVER A PRESENTATION THAT I DO.
I I CREATE A PRESENTATION ANNUALLY IN THE SPRING.
AND THEN WHEN I'M ASKED TO GIVE INFORMATION TO THE CHAMBER OR TO THE POINT BANK BREAKFAST OR THE ROTARY CLUB, THIS IS THE PRESENTATION THAT I GIVE.
SO WE'LL SKIP AROUND A LITTLE BIT FOR THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, MIGHT NOT INTEREST YOU, AND THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT MIGHT INTEREST YOU.
SO, UH, WE'LL KIND OF JUST FIRE OFF AND GET GOING UNLESS ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS FOR, I HAVE NOT MET TWO OF YOU TONIGHT.
SO, UH, IT WAS VERY NICE TO MEET YOU.
I KNOW THE COUNCIL VOTED ON YOU AT THE LAST REGULAR MEETING OR WELCOME ABOARD.
UH, AGAIN, MY NAME IS CHARLES K CROWLER.
I DON'T COME TO A LOT OF YOUR MEETINGS.
YOU HAVE AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR THAT HANDLES YOUR MEETINGS.
BUT I'M HERE TONIGHT FOR THIS.
AND AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW, I MAY COME ALONG FOR SOME OTHER MEETINGS TO KIND OF UPDATE YOU, UH, BECAUSE THERE'S, THERE'S THINGS IN THIS PRESENTATION THAT ARE ABSOLUTELY PUBLIC AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT.
BUT THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT I CAN'T CON THAT ARE CONFIDENTIAL.
AND UNTIL CONTRACTS ARE SIGNED AND DEALS ARE MADE, WE REALLY CAN'T REVEAL SOME THINGS.
UH, THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE THE EXECUTIVE SESSION, AND I CAN TALK TO YOU THERE OCCASIONALLY WHEN THAT'S NECESSARY.
SO, I THINK WE HAD ONE OF THOSE, A COUPLE OF MEETINGS AGO THAT, THAT Y'ALL MISSED OUT ON.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S ON OUR AGENDA TONIGHT.
[00:05:02]
SO I CAN'T, THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS I CAN'T TALK ABOUT, BUT THERE IS SOME THINGS I CAN TALK ABOUT, SO THAT'S VERY GOOD.ALRIGHT, SO, UH, THIS IS AN AT A GLANCE THAT I PUT TOGETHER A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.
UH, I WANNA GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.
I WENT TO A POINT BANK BREAKFAST, UH, PRESENTATION, AND DR. SHANNON SAYLOR HAD JUST BECOME THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND SHE HAD SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS, I THINK HERS IS CALLED BY THE NUMBERS.
AND I IMMEDIATELY LEFT AND SAID, COULD YOU PLEASE SEND THAT TO ME? AND WE COPIED IT.
IT JUST KIND OF GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHERE WE'RE AT.
UH, OUR POPULATION RIGHT NOW IS AT 10,193.
THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE THE ETJ AS WE KNOW THE MDD COVERS THE ETJ AS WELL.
SO SOME OF THE THINGS ON HERE I WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THAT ARE PART OF THAT EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION.
UH, IN 2020, OUR POPULATION WAS 5,006.
SO YOU CAN SEE THAT WE'VE DOUBLED THE POPULATION NUMBER FOR 10,193 WAS ON JANUARY 1ST, 2025 AS ESTIMATED BY THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS.
UH, I BELIEVE WE'RE THE 10,000 1 93 IS A, IS AN ESTIMATE BY THE COG THAT, UH, I CAN RELY ON BECAUSE THEY USE INFORMATION THAT THEY GATHER FROM US.
UH, SO THAT'S THE NUMBER THAT WE USED TO PUT ON THE NEW POPULATION SIGNS THAT YOU SEE IN AND AROUND AUBREY.
I NEEDED SOMETHING DEFINITIVE, NOT JUST A GUESS, BUT IF I'M GUESSING, I WOULD SAY RIGHT NOW WE'RE OVER 11.
WE'RE AT 11 FIVE ISH RIGHT NOW.
UH, WE HAVE 250 PERMITS PULLED FOR THE HIGH POINT SUBDIVISION.
WE HAVE, I THINK I SAW THAT WE HAD A HUNDRED, I WISH I'D HAVE BROUGHT MY NOTEBOOK HUN.
OVER A HUNDRED HOMES ARE OCCUPIED IN KELAND, SO THINGS ARE MOVING VERY QUICKLY.
EMPLOYEES, WE HAD AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, 1 34.
UH, WE HIRED A FEW PEOPLE DURING OUR BUDGET PROCESS IN, UH, THE SPRING, AND WE MOVED UP TO 1 38.
WE ADDED A COUPLE OF PEOPLE AFTER THAT.
AND IN OUR OCTOBER ONE BUDGET, WE ADDED 17 NEW POSITIONS.
AND THOSE ARE, THOSE ARE NOT JUST POLICE AND FIRE, WHICH USUALLY GET, I THINK A SEVEN OF THOSE WERE POLICE AND FIRE, BUT 10 WERE OTHER GOVERNMENT, PUBLIC WORKS, GENERAL GOVERNMENT, UH, POSITIONS, PARKS.
UH, WE DID ANOTHER EVENT, EVENT COORDINATOR.
WE HAD NO EVENT COORDINATORS TWO YEARS AGO, AND NOW WE HAVE TWO AND THEY HAVE A BOSS.
SO WE EXPECT SOMETIME IN 2026 WE'LL BE AROUND ONE 60 ISH ON THE EMPLOYEES, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE AS WE ENTER INTO OUR, UH, BUDGET, OUR MID-YEAR BUDGET CYCLE IN MARCH, APRIL, WE'LL PROBABLY GO BACK TO THE COUNCIL AND SEE WHERE WE'RE AT.
THERE ARE ALREADY A COUPLE OF POSITIONS THAT THEY'VE TOLD ME THAT THEY WANT MID-YEAR.
SO WE'LL GO BACK AND LOOK AT THAT AS WELL.
UH, JUST GIVE, I'M JUST GIVING YOU SOME HIGHLIGHTS HERE.
POLICE CALLS FOR SERVICE FOR 2024 8,610.
NOW, THAT IS PURE CALLS FOR SERVICE.
THAT IS NOT TRAFFIC STOPS, THAT IS NOT OFFICER INITIATED.
UH, WALKTHROUGHS, UM, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH.
WE HAVE, WE HAVE A NEIGHBORHOOD PATROL WHERE OFFICERS LOG WHEN THEY GO THROUGH A NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE WE'RE AT LIKE A HUNDRED THOUSAND OF THOSE AT THIS POINT, UH, IN THE YEAR.
'CAUSE WE'RE, WE'RE PUSHING NOVEMBER.
UH, AND THEY DO ABOUT 10 OR 12 A MONTH.
10, 10 OR 12,000 A MONTH, THEY DO, OF THESE NEIGHBORHOOD PATROLS.
THEY LOOK AROUND, SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING, AND THEY DROP A PEN SAYING THAT THEY WERE THERE ON THE GPS AND THEN IT LOGS IN THEIR SYSTEM.
SO THIS NUMBER THAT YOU'RE SEEING RIGHT HERE, 8,610, THAT'S ACTUAL CALLS FOR SERVICE THAT CAME IN THROUGH 9 1 1 OR A CITIZEN APPROACHED AN OFFICER AND THEY SELF-INITIATED A CALL FOR SERVICE, NOT A TRAFFIC STOP, NOT AN ARREST, NOT THAT KIND OF THING.
THE BULK OF THOSE WERE EMS CALLS.
UH, UH, KEEP IN MIND THAT OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT IS POLICING A POPULATION OF ABOUT 37,000.
AND OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT, UH, THEY PROTECT A POPULATION OF AROUND 67,000.
UH, 'CAUSE WE, WE HAVE CONTRACTS WITH, UH, SEVERAL SUBDIVISIONS, UH, UH, MUD DISTRICTS, UH, UH, W CIDS, UH, CITY.
WE, WE, WE ALSO PROVIDE FIRE AND POLICE SERVICE FOR THE TOWN OF PROVIDENCE VILLAGE.
THEIR POPULATION IS HOVERING A LITTLE OVER 11,000, ALMOST 12 NOW, BECAUSE FOUR E RANCH IS REALLY ROLLING.
THAT, THAT'S IMPORTANT TO THIS GROUP AS WELL.
UH, UH, CHRISTINE SHOULD BE KEEPING UP WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING IN FOUR E RANCH, BECAUSE THAT'S PART OF YOUR TRADE AREA THAT YOU HAVE.
YOU'LL BE PULLING THOSE PEOPLE OUT OF FOURIE RANCH TO THE NORTH FOR, UH, THEIR COMMERCIAL NEEDS IN THE FUTURE.
[00:10:01]
WE WOULD NET RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO US.THEY HAVE A COLLECTION OF 58,000 2 0 2 LAST YEAR.
UH, THEY HAD A SUMMER READING PROGRAM THIS YEAR, AND 789 CHILDREN PARTICIPATED.
AND I DON'T REMEMBER THE NUMBER RIGHT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT THOSE WEREN'T JUST, UH, UH, COME AND GO PARTICIPATIONS.
I, IF I RECALL CORRECTLY, DON'T HOLD ME TO IT, BUT I BELIEVE BRITTANY SAID THEY HAD BETWEEN 12 AND 15,000 PIECES OF THE COLLECTION THAT WERE CHECKED OUT DURING THAT PROCESS OR DURING THEIR PROGRAM.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S PRETTY SI THAT'S PRETTY SIGNIFICANT.
I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT, BECAUSE THEY HAD TO COME IN, THEY HAD TO DO A BOOK A MONTH OR SOMETHING.
IT IT WAS, IT WAS A BIG NUMBER.
UH, I, I'LL GET THAT FOR YOU JUST SO WE KNOW FOR SURE.
BECAUSE I, I, WE'RE RECORDED TONIGHT AND I WANNA MAKE SURE WE GIVE YOU GOOD, SOLID INFORMATION.
YEAH, BUT I DON'T REMEMBER RIGHT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD WHAT IT WAS.
UH, THEY SERVED 7,987 PATRONS.
THAT'S 8,000 PEOPLE, UH, CAME AND WENT FROM THE LIBRARY.
NOW KEY THERE IS, THE LIBRARY HAS FIVE FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES AND TWO PART-TIME EMPLOYEES.
ALL OF THESE PROGRAMS. UH, I, I DON'T HAVE THEIR PROGRAM NUMBERS BECAUSE NORMALLY BRITTANY DOES A PRESENTATION FOR THAT.
BUT THEY DO A, A VAST AMOUNT OF PROGRAMMING, UH, WITH JUST THOSE FIVE PEOPLE.
AND TWO, UH, UH, TWO PART-TIME FOLKS.
UH, YOU KNOW ABOUT OUR ETJ FOUR, YOU KNOW ABOUT OUR ULTIMATE GROWTH BOUNDARY, 45.39 SQUARE MILES.
THE FOR, FOR YOU FOLKS THAT ARE NEW, THE ULTIMATE GROWTH BOUNDARY IS THIS PURPLE LINE THAT GOES AROUND THE MAP.
AND THE, THE GRAY OUT AREA IS NOT ETJ THAT WILL BE CHANGING IN THE FUTURE.
UH, THE, THE SOLID COLOR AREA, THAT IS OUR CURRENT ETJ, WHERE YOU COLLECT A HALF CENT SALES TAX.
UH, A LITTLE BIT OF ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW.
THIS IS THE FIRE FIRE STATION THAT WE'RE BUILDING IN WINDRIDGE SUBDIVISION.
THIS IS FIRE STATION NUMBER TWO.
THIS IS A 9,000 SQUARE FOOT FIRE STATION.
UH, WE ARE CURRENTLY FIRE STATION NUMBER TWO IS CALLED THE NAVO FIRE STATION.
THAT'S BEHIND A CONVENIENCE STORE ON NAVO ROAD.
WE'RE MOVING OUT OF THERE HOPEFULLY IN NOVEMBER INTO THIS NEW STATION.
UH, THIS NEW STATION CAME ABOUT BECAUSE WE NEEDED TO MOVE A LITTLE BIT FURTHER NORTH.
WE NEEDED TO GET OFF OF THREE 80.
WE WERE WITHIN, WE COULD THROW A ROCK AND HIT LITTLE ELM STATION THREE.
SO WE NEEDED TO MOVE FURTHER NORTH WHERE WE HAVE MORE PROTECTION OF OUR CITIZENS THAT, THAT ARE ANTICIPATING THAT AND PAYING TAXES.
SO THIS, THIS STATION WAS BORN OUT OF NECESSITY.
UH, WE COULD NOT FIND A LOCATION FOR IT.
WE FOUND A COMMERCIAL LOT ON FRONTIER PARKWAY AT FM 1385.
THE, THE OWNER WANTED, UH, A MILLION DOLLARS FOR A ONE ACRE AND ONLY 0.65 OF IT WAS USABLE.
UH, THEY DID COME DOWN DOWN TO 800,000, BUT WE WERE LOOKING AT ONLY 0.65.
AND THEY WERE GOING TO PUT SOME RESTRICTIONS IN IT THAT WE COULDN'T HAVE A DRIVE WE WOULD HAVE TO SHARE WITH AN APARTMENT COMPLEX, WHICH DOESN'T WORK FOR A FIRE STATION.
SO, UH, THE FIRE CHIEF AND I SPENT A COUPLE OF WEEKS SCOURING THE AREA OUT THERE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE AVAILABLE.
WE LOOKED AT SOME CRAZY IDEAS TOO.
SOME, UH, SOME HOA LOTS INSIDE THE SUBDIVISION.
WE LOOKED AT, WOULD THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND SANDROCK GIVE US A SPOT AT THE SANDROCK ELEMENTARY SO WE COULD PLANT A FIRE STATION.
WE TALKED ABOUT A TEMPORARY FIRE STATION.
AND ONE DAY WE WERE SITTING IN MY OFFICE AND WE SAW THIS LOT INSIDE, JUST INSIDE WIND RIDGE.
WHEN YOU FIRST COME IN, IT'S A VERY, VERY NARROW LOT.
WE HAD TO MAKE SOME CHANGES TO THE RIGHT OF WAY IN ORDER FOR THE SETBACKS TO ACTUALLY WORK.
BUT THE COOL THING ABOUT THIS, THE NOTICE AT THE BOTTOM PHOTOGRAPH, THIS WAS A NARROW LOT.
SO WE BUILT A TWO STORY FIRE STATION, WHICH, YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, RIGHT? FIRE TWO STORY, FIRE POLE.
UH, THIS ONE WILL HAVE A FIRE POLE IN IT.
IT'S A GREAT, IT'S A GREAT SETUP.
UH, THE GREAT THING ABOUT THIS IS WE LOOKED AT HOW MUCH LAND WE HAD LEFT OVER WHEN WE SAID, HEY, LET'S HAVE THIS FIRE STATION.
LET'S TAKE THE MONEY WE EARMARKED FOR THE LAND AND BUILD A PARK.
THIS IS, IT WON'T LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THIS.
I THINK THE FIREPLACE IS THERE.
UH, THE, THE EQUIPMENT THAT YOU SEE HERE IS JUST FOR, UH, A CONCEPT.
IT WILL BE A PUBLIC SAFETY THEMED PARK.
UH, IT'LL HAVE FIRE AND POLICE, THAT KIND OF THING IN IT.
AND, AND I KNOW WHEN WE POSTED THESE ON FACEBOOK AND OUR SOCIAL MEDIA, PEOPLE WERE SAYING, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE BUILDING A PARK FOR CHILDREN RIGHT NEXT TO A MAIN THOROUGHFARE.
I PROMISE YOU THERE'S GOING TO BE A FENCE.
THE KIDS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT ONTO THE ROAD.
SO WE'LL HAVE THAT TAKEN CARE OF.
SO THIS STATION'S ALMOST DONE.
[00:15:01]
THIS IS FIRE STATION NUMBER THREE THAT JUST WENT, UH, JUST WENT LIVE IN THE SILVERADO SUBDIVISION.UH, THIS WAS A TWO AND A HALF YEAR PROCESS FOR US.
THIS IS ACTUALLY A PUBLIC SAFETY CENTER.
IT CONTAINS ABOUT 10,000, ABOUT 12,000 SQUARE FEET OF FIRE WITH BAYS AND THEIR LIVING QUARTERS AND THEIR WORK AREAS.
AND IT'S ABOUT 2,500 OR 3000 FOR THE POLICE.
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ARE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION.
DIVISION IS GROWING EVERY YEAR.
UH, THEY WERE IN WHAT THEY CALL WHAT WAS HUMOROUSLY CALLED TRAILER HALL IN PROVIDENCE VILLAGE.
UH, FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT MAY BE NEW HERE.
UH, WHEN PROVIDENCE VILLAGE STARTED OUT, THEY WERE A-W-C-I-D.
AND, UH, THEY, UH, CONVERTED SOMEHOW.
THEY DID THEIR MAGIC AND THEY CONVERTED INTO A TOWN.
THEY BROUGHT IN THREE PORTABLE BUILDINGS, AND THAT WAS THEIR TOWN HALL.
AND THEY CALLED IT TRAILER HALL.
'CAUSE IT LOOKED LIKE A TRAILER.
WELL, OUR CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DIVISION WAS HOUSED OUT OF THERE AFTER PROVIDENCE VILLAGE BUILT THEIR NEW TOWN HALL.
SO THEY'VE MOVED FROM TRAILER HALL AND NOW THEY'RE IN THIS FACILITY AND THEY'RE LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT.
THEY THINK IT'S THE GREATEST THING.
IF Y'ALL GET A CHANCE TO GO BY, THEY'LL GIVE YOU A TOUR ANYTIME.
UH, WE HAD OUR GRAND OPENING A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.
DID YOU GET TO GO? NO, I DID NOT.
THERE WERE PEOPLE THERE THAT SAID THEY SAW ME AND I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO TALK TO THEM.
IT, OH, THERE WAS AT LEAST 150 PEOPLE THERE.
3, 3, 5 POLICE CHIEFS, THREE FIRE CHIEFS, THREE MAYORS.
WE HAD A ELM RIDGE REPRESENTATIVE THERE.
TWO REPRESENTATIVES FROM ELM RIDGE.
UH, JARED PATTERSON WAS THERE.
IF YOU GET TO GO BY THERE, UH, UH, THEY'LL GIVE YOU A TOUR.
WE ANTICIPATE PEOPLE HAVING BIRTHDAY PARTIES HERE AND GOING NEXT DOOR TO TOUR THE FIRE STATION.
THEY, THEY, THEY DO NOT MIND THAT IF YOU COME BY.
UH, WE HAVE OUR TWO FIRE STATIONS UNDER CONSTRUCTION, AS I SAID, PERMITS, HOUSING PERMITS.
THIS INCLUDES THE AREAS IN THE ETJ THAT WE PERMIT IN 2023.
WE DID 1,144, UH, 20 24, 7 67 WHEN THIS WAS CREATED.
WHEN BAILEY UPDATED THIS FOR ME A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, WE WERE AT 9 54.
I WOULD ASSUME WE'RE CLOSER TO 1200 NOW AT THIS POINT.
UH, OUR HOUSE COUNT, CITY LIMITS, HOUSE COUNT THIRTY TWO FIFTY FIVE.
WE'RE UPDATING LIVE LIVING DOCUMENTS.
RIGHT NOW WE HAVE ABOUT 10 DIFFERING DIFFERING SIZES, DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE IN PROGRESS, 7,500 LOTS OR IS WHAT'S INCLUDED, UH, IN THOSE THAT ARE IN PROGRESS.
AND IN REVIEW, WE HAVE ABOUT 12.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'ALL PAY ATTENTION TO THE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA, BUT LAST MONTH THEY APPROVED A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR AN 880 LOT, UH, SUBDIVISION ON BLACKJACK ROAD, WHICH WILL BE IN THE CITY LIMITS.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S COMING OUR WAY AS WELL, WHICH IS GOOD BECAUSE WE WANT, WE WANT THE, UH, COMMERCIAL ON 3 77 TO GROW.
UH, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE SUB.
YOU, YOU KNOW ALL ABOUT THE SUBDIVISIONS.
LET'S TALK ABOUT OUR CURRENT PROJECTS.
WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT REBUILD.
WE'RE NOT EXPANDING, WE'RE, WE ARE REBUILDING THE, THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.
CURRENTLY, WE ARE AT A 0.45 MILLION GALLONS A DAY, AND WE'RE GOING TO 2.25 MILLION GALLONS A DAY.
IF YOU GET A CHANCE TO GO DOWN BY BLUE BONNET, YOU CAN SEE IT'S COMING OUTTA THE GROUND REALLY WELL.
UH, WE ARE CURRENTLY, UH, REWORK.
WE HAVE FIVE ACTIVE WATER WELLS.
WE'RE REWORKING ONE OF THOSE RIGHT NOW.
UH, WE HAD AN INCIDENT, THE WELL'S 40 YEARS OLD, AND DURING MAINTENANCE IT WAS DAMAGED.
SO RATHER THAN TRY TO REPAIR A 40-YEAR-OLD, WELL, UH, WE ABANDONED THAT.
MOVED OVER 50 FEET, AND WE HAVE DRILLED A NEW WELL NEXT TO IT.
GOOD THING IS THAT WELL WAS PRODUCING LESS THAN A HUNDRED GALLONS A A MINUTE.
UH, IT WAS SLATED TO DO LESS THAN 200 GALLONS A MINUTE.
ONCE IT WAS, UH, REWORKED THE NEW, WELL, THEY'RE RIGHT NOW GETTING OVER 600 GALLONS A MINUTE.
UH, A TEST THEY'RE TESTING RIGHT NOW, AND THEY'RE OVER 600 GALLONS A MINUTE.
SO IT'LL TRIPLE THE OUTPUT OF THAT WELL, WHICH WILL HELP US, UH, TREMENDOUSLY.
OUR CURRENT MAX PRODUCTION FOR WATER.
EVERYBODY HAS THESE QUESTIONS.
WHAT ARE WE DOING ABOUT WATER? HOW ARE WE GOING TO DEAL, DEAL WITH THIS INFRASTRUCTURE? SO OUR CURRENT MAX PRODUCTION IS 1.2 MILLION GALLONS A DAY.
[00:20:01]
OUR CURRENT PEAK USAGE IS SOMEWHERE JUST SHY OF A MILLION GALLONS A DAY.UH, OUR FIVE CURRENT, WE HAVE FIVE CURRENT WELLS.
UH, OUR, UH, TWO LARGEST WELLS WILL ONCE, ONCE THE ROCK HILL WELL IS REWORKED AND IN PLACE, OUR TWO LARGEST WELLS WILL PRODUCE ABOUT 1.2 MILLION GALLONS A DAY.
UH, SO THEY, THEY, THEY ARE REALLY, UH, SIGNIFICANT WELLS.
ONCE WE GET THOSE BACK ONLINE, WE'LL START.
ALL OUR OTHER THREE WELLS HAVE BEEN REWORKED.
AND WE'LL START GOING THROUGH THIS, UH, THE PROCESS AGAIN OF, UH, PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE ON THOSE THREE WELLS AS WELL.
UH, WE DO HAVE OUR SIXTH WELL IS IN DESIGN THAT WELL WILL BE AT TI PARK.
I KNOW Y'ALL KNOW ABOUT TI PARK OUT ON MAGNA ROAD ABOUT WHERE MAGNA ROAD IS ON SPRING HILL, UH, THAT IS IN DESIGN.
THEY SHOULD GET THAT OUT TO BID, HOPEFULLY AT THE FIRST OF THE YEAR SO THAT WE CAN START DRILLING THAT WELL.
AND WE ARE LOOKING FOR A LOCATION FOR A SEVENTH.
WELL, RIGHT NOW, WE THINK WE HAVE A GOOD IDEA OF WHERE WE WANT THAT, BUT WE'RE, WE'RE WAITING JUST A MINUTE.
UH, WE DON'T WANNA GET TOO FAR AHEAD OF OURSELVES.
UH, I'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT, UH, BEFORE, UH, WITH SOME OF YOU, YOU'VE HEARD ME SAY THAT WE DON'T WANNA GET TOO FAR OF A HEAD AHEAD.
WE WANT TO HAVE BREAKERS IN PLACE THAT IF DEVELOPMENT WERE TO SLOW OR THE ECONOMY WERE TO SLOW, WE CAN TRIP SOME BREAKERS AND WE CAN SLOW DOWN.
AND WE DON'T HAVE, WE'RE NOT IN DEBT THAT WE CAN'T HANDLE.
SO THAT'S ONE REASON WE WE'RE LOOK, THE, THE WELL IS IN PRODUCTION.
LET'S SAY WE HAD A SLOWDOWN, OR THE WELL IS IN, UH, DESIGN.
LET'S SAY WE HAD A PROBLEM AND WE HAD A SLOWDOWN, THEN WE CAN, WE HAVE A DESIGNED WELL ON THE SHELF.
WE DON'T HAVE TO PUT IT OUT TO BID.
WELL, IT'S GOING TO BE IN PLACE, BUT SEVEN, WE DON'T HAVE TO BE IN SUCH A HURRY BECAUSE IN 2028, WE SHOULD HAVE A CONNECTION TO UPPER TRINITY, UPPER TRINITY, WHICH WILL GIVE US A MILLION GALLONS A DAY COMING FROM SURFACE WATER.
SO RIGHT NOW, ALL OF OUR WATER IS GROUNDWATER FROM WELLS IN 2028.
ONCE WE HAVE OUR, UH, ONCE WE HAVE OUR, UH, CONNECTION TO UPPER TRINITY, THAT WILL GIVE US ANOTHER MILLION, UH, FOR OUR DAILY PRODUCTION.
UH, WE, WE HAVE SOME PICTURES ON HERE OF OUR PARKS.
WE HAVE NEW BASKETBALL COURTS, PICKLEBALL, NEW LANDSCAPING.
WE HAVE A NEW PARK OVER HERE CALLED HIGH MEADOW POCKET PARK.
I'LL SHOW YOU, UH, SOME DIAGRAMS OF THAT TI DEVELOPMENT.
THIS WEEKEND WE'LL HAVE HAUNTED AUBREY HAUNTED HARVEST.
AUBREY HAUNTED HAR HARVEST THIS WEEKEND WILL BE AT TTI FARMS. UH, I, THEY'RE TELLING ME PARKING'S, OKAY, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A TRUNK OR TREAT.
WE ARE CON CONCERNED ABOUT IT.
IT'LL BE A FIRST FORCE AUBREY HAUNTED HARVEST.
SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.
UH, YOU KNOW ABOUT THE PUBLIC SAFETY THEME PARK AT FIRE, AT FIRE STATION NUMBER TWO.
I'LL SHOW YOU A, UH, CONCEPT PLAN FOR THE BASEBALL, SOCCER, FOOTBALL COMPLEX WE'RE DOING.
OUR CITY WEBSITE IS UNDER CONSTANT REDESIGN.
BAILEY IS IN CHARGE OF THAT, AND SHE'S ADDING THINGS EVERY DAY.
UH, OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS STRATEGIC PLAN, WHICH YOU ARE A PART OF.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS COMPLETE.
IT'S GOING TO P AND Z NEXT MONTH, AND IT SHOULD GO TO COUNCIL SHORTLY THEREAFTER.
UH, WE ARE WORKING ON FUTURE LAND PURCHASES.
WE ARE PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE, UH, PROPERTY.
UH, THIS GROUP KNOWS FOR SURE PROPERTY'S NOT GETTING ANY CHEAPER.
UH, WE DO HAVE PROPERTY UNDER CONTRACT RIGHT NOW FOR OUR FIRE STATION.
UH, WE, WE ARE GOING TO BUY AND HOLD.
WE DO NEED TO BUILD A TRAINING FACILITY FOR OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT.
UH, WE ARE PART OF THE CTE PROGRAM NOW AT, UH, ARBERY HIGH SCHOOL.
AND THEY HAVE A FIRE COMPONENT.
AND WE NOT ONLY NEED A FIRE TRAINING FACILITY FOR OUR FIREFIGHTERS BECAUSE WE ARE GETTING LARGER, BUT WE NEED IT FOR THAT CTE PROGRAM AS WELL.
SO OUR PLAN IS TO PURCHASE THIS PROPERTY FOR FIRE STATION NUMBER FOUR.
WE HAVE A DONATION THAT'S BEEN GIVEN TO US BY A GROUP TO BUILD, TO, TO HELP PARTIALLY FUND THE, UH, FIRE TRAINING FACILITY.
AND WE'LL GET THAT OFF THE GROUND.
AND THAT'S THE FIRST THING THAT'LL BE AT THAT LOCATION.
AND THEN WE WILL HOLD THE REMAINDER OF THE PROPERTY FOR A FUTURE FIRE STATION.
I THINK Y'ALL HAVE SEEN, SURELY YOU'VE BEEN DOWNTOWN.
UH, WE HAVE NEW PARKING AT VETERANS PARK.
VETERANS PARK HAS BEEN REWORKED.
IF YOU WERE AT PEANUT FESTIVAL, YOU GOT TO SEE SOME OF THAT.
THEY WERE OPERATIONAL FOR THE PEANUT FESTIVAL FOR A PORTION THEREOF, I THINK
UH, BUT WE PUT SOME NEW PARKING BEHIND CITY HALL.
AND THEN NEXT SPRING, WE'LL START ON A FA A TWO-PHASE PROJECT ACROSS EAST OF THE FIRE STATION.
UH, BETWEEN THE FIRE STATION AND THE TRACKS.
THAT'S GOING TO ADD, I THINK THEY TOLD ME 180 PARKING SPACES DOWNTOWN.
UH, WELL, WE RELEASED THE PROPERTY THAT THE, THAT THE, UH, RAILROAD OWNS.
[00:25:02]
WE HAVE, WE PURCHASED THE STORAGE BUILDINGS THAT YOU SEE DOWNTOWN.WE PURCHASED THE HOUSE ON THE CORNER OF SYCAMORE AND ELMAN.
IT'S BEEN TORN DOWN AND WE'RE UNDER CONTRACT FOR THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR TO THAT.
SO THIS TIME, AT THE FIRST, BY THE FIRST OF THE YEAR, THIS CITY WILL OWN FROM PLUM STREET ALL THE WAY OVER TO SHERMAN DRIVE, WHERE THE TRACKS ARE AT, WHICH WILL ALLOW US TO DO A TRAIL AND CONNECT IT TO VETERANS PARK.
AND OUR EVENTS WILL GET EVEN BIGGER DOWNTOWN.
SO IT SHOULD BE, IT IT, IT'S BENEFICIAL TO THIS GROUP BECAUSE YOU CAN ADVERTISE THIS PARKING IS COMING FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AND FUTURE COMMERCIAL DOWNTOWN.
SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
WE, I THINK WE NETTED 18, 19, 20, 22, 24, 22, NEW FI, NEW PARKING SPACES BEHIND CITY HALL AND PARALLEL PARKING PLUS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
WE, WE ADDED ABOUT 32 IF YOU INCLUDE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
ARE YOU TALKING THE ONES BEHIND THE PAVILION? VETERANS STAGE? NO, I'M TALKING ABOUT BEHIND CITY HALL.
UH, THIS MAP, YOU KNOW, IS AVAILABLE.
THIS IS OUR ULTIMATE GROWTH BOUNDARY MAP.
I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW IT'S AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE UNDER MAPPING.
UH, THIS IS THE TWO, THIS IS THE PHASE ONE AND TWO PARKING I WAS JUST TELLING YOU ABOUT.
I WAS OFF JUST A LITTLE BIT, NOT 180.
SOMETIMES NUMBERS GET TURNED AROUND FOR ME.
THIS IS PHASE ONE AND TWO TOGETHER.
UH, DO I HAVE PHASE ONE? NO, I DON'T.
PHASE ONE WILL NOT SEE THE, UH, TEAR DOWN OF THE STORAGE FACILITY.
THE STORAGE FACILITY WILL REMAIN RIGHT NOW WE NEED THAT AT THIS PARTICULAR MOMENT.
SO PHASE ONE WILL BE SOUTH OF THE, WHAT YOU SEE, THE, THE HASHED OUT MARKS THERE.
THAT'S THE STORAGE FACILITY RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE NEW PARKING LOT.
SO SOUTH OF THAT WILL BE THE NEW PARKING LOT THAT'S BEING DESIGNED RIGHT NOW.
AND THEN IN A YEAR OR TWO, WE'LL, WE WILL, THE WHOLE THING'S BEING DESIGNED, BUT WE'RE ONLY GOING TO DO PHASE ONE IN A YEAR OR SO.
WE'LL PROBABLY BID OUT PHASE TWO AND START ON THAT AS WELL.
SO WHAT YOU SEE ABOVE THIS IS A FARMER'S MARKET, BUT THE, THE COUNCIL'S NOT READY TO ACT ON THE FARMER'S MARKET YET.
UH, WE THINK WE CAN USE THIS PARKING LOT TO OUR ADVANTAGE AND WE CAN HAVE A FARMER'S MARKET AND GROW IT INTO THE NORTH AS WE GET LARGER.
THIS IS THE NEW VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK THAT YOU SEE DOWNTOWN.
UH, THE CENTER SQUARE WILL BE FOR THE CHRISTMAS TREE.
THERE'LL BE SUN SALES FOR OUR STAGE, FOR THE USE FOR YOU THAT HAVE BEEN TO OUR CONCERTS DURING THE SUMMER.
THE POOR PERFORMERS, I FEEL SO BAD FOR THEM BECAUSE THE SUN JUST DRIVES THEM DOWN ON THEM.
SO THO THE, THE SUN, THE SUN SAIL ARE NOT IN YET, BUT THEY WILL BE.
AND IT SHOULD OFFER SOME, UH, PROTECTION FOR THEM.
WHAT, WHAT I'M ALSO INTERESTED IN, IF YOU'VE BEEN DOWN AND LOOKED AT THE, THE STA IN FRONT OF THE STAGE, THERE'S A NEW CONCRETE AREA AND WE'RE HOPING THAT THE SALES WILL BE THERE AS WELL.
SO PEOPLE WILL GO DOWN TO THE STAGE INSTEAD OF SITTING 30 OR 40 YARDS BACK IN THE SHAPE.
A LOT OF THE PERFORM, HUH? SIT UNDER THAT BIG OAK TREE.
I I THINK THE PERFORMERS HAVE MENTIONED IT BEFORE.
YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY STRANGE HAVING Y'ALL WAY BACK THERE.
WE'RE, UH, THIS ARE SOME PICTURES OF PHASE ONE.
BEFORE PHASE TWO WAS COMPLETE OF VETERANS PARK, THE NEW BENCHES ALONG MAIN STREET AND THE TREES.
I THINK A COUPLE OF THOSE HAVE DIED.
YOU, YOU SEE THE SIDEWALKS ARE IN NOW THE AREA WHERE THESE FOLKS ARE SITTING, THE AREA RIGHT HERE, WHERE THESE FOLKS ARE SITTING IS WHERE THE CHRISTMAS TREE WILL BE IN THE FUTURE.
THERE'S A HALF MOON SEEDING AREA THAT'S MADE OUTTA STONE.
I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL HAVE SEEN THE STAGE, BUT THE STAGE IS LOOKS FANTASTIC.
THAT WAS THE MAYOR'S RECOMMENDATION.
HE SAID, CAN WE DO SOMETHING TO THE STAGE? AND THEY WERE PLANNING TO DO FAUX STONE FROM, YOU KNOW, YOU GOT BUY THAT STUFF AT HOME DEPOT THAT STICKS ON.
AND I SAID, WHY DON'T WE JUST HAVE A MASON COME OUT HERE AND PUT REAL STONE UP? AND THAT'S WHAT THEY DID.
THEY USE THE SAME STONE FOR THE SEATING AREA AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE.
THIS IS LESLIE PARK THAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT.
THIS IS, UH, THE ROCK HILL PARK.
NO, THIS IS THE HIGH MEADOW PARK THAT I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT.
THIS IS MATTHEWS DOWNTOWN NEXT TO THE, ONE OF OUR WATER WELLS AND THE, UH, PEANUT DRYER.
OF COURSE, EVERYBODY KNOWS WE OWN THE PEANUT DRYER NOW.
AND THIS IS THE ONE EVERYBODY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT IS THE BASEBALL, SOCCER, FOOTBALL COMPLEX ON 3 77 AT TISDALE.
UH, WE ANTICIPATE BEING DONE WITH THE, IT'S IN DESIGN RIGHT
[00:30:01]
NOW.THERE ARE SOME CHANGES TO THIS CONCEPT.
SO LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THAT.
UH, AT THE TOP YOU SEE THE THREE LARGE CIRCLES IN THE RECTANGLE.
THAT WAS GOING TO BE A REGIONAL PUMP STATION FOR UPPER TRINITY.
BUT UPPER TRINITY HAS DECIDED TO STAY FURTHER SOUTH ON SOME PROPERTY THAT THEY PURCHASED OFF OF FM 4 28 SPRING HILL ROAD.
SO ON THE, UH, UNDERNEATH THE, THE, UH, FLOODWAY THAT YOU SEE THERE IN RED, YOU'LL SEE THERE'S TWO ROUND TANKS AND A PARKING LOT AND A BUILDING THAT IS OUR DELIVERY POINT FOR UPPER TRINITY, WHERE OUR WATER, YOU CAN SEE THE WATER LINES COMING IN.
THAT'S WHERE OUR WATER FROM UPPER TRINITY WILL BE DELIVERED.
SINCE UPPER TRINITY HAS DECIDED TO GO ANOTHER ROUTE, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE THAT TO THE NORTH SIDE OF THIS PROPERTY, WHICH IS GOING TO GIVE US MORE ROOM FOR PARK SPACE THAT WE MAY BE ABLE TO GET A COUPLE OF FOOTBALL FIELDS IN THERE, UH, AS WELL.
UH, THIS, AGAIN, THIS IS A CONCEPT.
UH, WE'RE HOPING THAT WE CAN GET EVERYTHING ON THIS PROPERTY.
WE ONLY HAVE 29 ACRES HERE, AS IF YOU CAN SEE THAT THE, THE FRONT SIDE, UH, OVER HERE IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR COMMERCIAL.
I THINK IT'S PRETTY EXPENSIVE.
I DON'T KNOW YET, UH, THE OWNERS, UH, THE OWNERS MAY BE INTERESTED IN, UH, SELLING IT AT SOME POINT.
IF THEY, IF THEY ARE, I WILL COME BACK TO THE MDD AND LET YOU KNOW THAT THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY.
I THINK THE NORTHERN, UH, AREA WOULD BE, UH, A GOOD SPOT FOR A STORE, RESTAURANT, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
UH, WE'LL JUST HAVE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
WHY AM I GOING BACKWARDS? SOME OF OUR NEW THINGS WE HAVE, WE HAVE OUR TANKER TRUCK, UH, AGAIN WITH WATER, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE WATER ISSUES, WE HAVE WATER PRESSURE ISSUES.
SO, UH, WHAT WE DECIDED TO DO MIDYEAR, WE TALKED TO THE COUNCIL AND SAID, LOOK, THIS TANKER'S AVAILABLE TO US RIGHT NOW.
'CAUSE WHEN WE SHOW UP AND THERE'S NO WATER PRESSURE, THE ONLY, THEY ONLY HAVE WHAT'S IN THE TRUCK.
SO IF WE CAN DISPATCH OUR TANKER WITH THE TRUCK, IF WE HAVE LOW WATER PRESSURE, WE CALL FOR ANOTHER TANKER.
AND THEN THE TANKERS START GOING BACK AND FORTH TO THE FIRE HYDRANT, BRINGING WATER.
THE, WHAT YOU SEE ON THE TANKER RIGHT HERE, THIS AREA RIGHT HERE, YOU SEE THE ROPES? MM-HMM
THAT'S NYLON, OR I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S MADE OUT OF.
IT'S ONLY ABOUT TWO AND A HALF FEET OFF THE GROUND, BUT IT HOLDS 3000 GALLONS OF WATER.
THE, ON THE BACK OF THE TANKER, IT HAS A, A, A SPOUT THAT DUMPS THE WATER.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUMP THE WATER IN.
IT JUST DUMPS THE WATER INTO THAT SPOUT, INTO THAT TANK.
AND THE TANKER CAN LEAVE AND GO GET MORE WATER AND COME BACK AND DUMP IT IN, DUMP IT IN, AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUTS A, A, A HOSE INSIDE THE TANK AND THEY CAN PULL OUT OF THAT TANK WHILE IF WE CAN'T GET ANOTHER TANKER.
SO IT'S, IT'S A REALLY, IT'S A REALLY GREAT THING FOR US.
UH, SO, UH, WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE COUNCIL AND THEIR, FOR THEIR FORETHOUGHT TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THIS IS THE NEW AERIAL TRUCK THAT'S AT, UH, STATION THREE.
IF YOU GET A CHANCE, GO BY AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
THIS WAS A HIT FOR OUR AUBREY CITIZENS UNIVERSITY.
IF YOU HAVEN'T, WE HAVE TWO ALUMNI.
IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN, I RECOMMEND IT.
WE'LL, WE'LL FIRE OFF AGAIN IN THE, IN THE SPRING.
UH, INTERESTING THING, WE HAD OUR GRADUATION LAST NIGHT.
THERE WERE TWO PEOPLE ON IN THE, UH, A CU, WE CALL IT THE A CU.
THERE WERE TWO PEOPLE IN THE A CU THAT HAVE AN EXTENSIVE BACKGROUND IN THE CITY.
UH, ONE WAS ON THIS BOARD AND ANOTHER WAS ON P AND Z.
AND BOTH WERE ON OUR CHARTER COMMISSION A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.
THE INTERESTING THING TO ME WAS THEIR COMMENTS ABOUT WHAT THEY LEARNED, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD SO MUCH EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH THE CITY AND DOING THINGS IN GOVERNMENT AS A VOLUNTEER JUST LIKE YOU, THEY WERE IMPRESSED WITH SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THEY LEARNED.
I WAS PROUD OF THAT BECAUSE YOU HAVE TWO PEOPLE INTIMATELY INVOLVED AND THEY SAID THEY LEARNED FROM THE A CU.
YEAH, IT, ONE OF THEM SAID THAT THEIR INTERACTIONS IN THE PAST HAD BEEN WITH DIRECTORS AND THEY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DE DEAL WITH NON DIRECTORS, AND THEY WERE IMPRESSED WITH HOW MUCH THE CITY EMPLOYEES ENJOYED THEIR JOBS AND WHAT THEY KNEW ABOUT THEIR JOBS.
WE'VE GOTTA, WE'VE GOTTA MAKE SURE THAT WE GET SOME OF OUR STAFF IN THERE TO TALK TO THEM IN THE FUTURE.
I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN THROUGH IT AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DID.
OH, SO YOU'RE HAVE THREE OF EM.
AND AMY, SHE WAS THERE AS WELL.
YOU GOT FOUR PEOPLE IN THE ROOM THAT KNOW.
[00:35:01]
OH, WE'RE NOT GOING BACKWARDS.
UH, I MADE A JOKE AT A MEETING THAT I DON'T KNOW, IT, IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH SEWER.
I, I, I SAID, I DON'T KNOW WHAT A VAC TRUCK DOES, AND SOMEBODY LEANED UP AND SAID IT VACUUMS THE SEWER
WELL THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED A VAC TRUCK.
UH, THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT THE VAC, THE VAC TRUCK IS THESE ARE, UH, MAINTENANCE, HEAVY MAINTENANCE HEAVY TRUCKS.
AND SO WE ENTERED INTO A FIVE YEAR LEASE WITH THIS COMPANY AND WE LEASE THIS TRUCK AND THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THE MAINTENANCE ON IT.
AND IF IT GOES IN FOR SERIOUS MAINTENANCE, THEY GIVE US ANOTHER TRUCK.
AND, AND EVEN BETTER BUYING IT WOULD'VE COST US MORE WHEN YOU FACTORED IN THE MAINTENANCE ON THE TRUCK.
SO, YEAH, UH, IT WORKED OUT REALLY GOOD FOR US.
SO IN, AND IN FIVE YEARS, WE JUST GET A NEW TRUCK AND ENTER INTO A NEW LEASE.
QUESTIONS? I THINK I DID PRETTY GOOD.
I TOLD CHRISTINE EARLIER DURING THE STAFF MEETING, SHORT AND SWEET.
THAT'S THE WAY WE NEED TO DO THIS.
HAVE A QUESTION WHILE I, LOOKING AT YOUR NUMBERS ON THE POPULATION AND THEN HOW THAT CORREL NUMBERS OF HOUSES, THAT SEEMS STRANGE TO, AND THE YEAH, THAT SLIDE RIGHT THERE GOT 2025, YOU GET 10,000 PEOPLE MM-HMM
BUT WE ONLY HAVE THOUSAND HOUSES.
3002 55 IT SEEMS, SEEMS LIKE THAT WE WOULD HAVE WAY MORE PEOPLE.
OR YOU JUST FACTOR IN LIKE 2.5.
THAT'S THE FEDERAL GUIDELINES FOR HOUSING FOR THIS AREA.
WELL, YES, THAT'S MY NUM MY NUMBER 3, 2, 5 5 10,000 1 93.
THE COG USES 2.7 AND THEY USE PERMIT INFORMATION AND CURRENT HOUSE CURRENT HOUSING AND PERMIT INFORMATION.
SO THAT'S HOW YOU GET TO THE 10,193.
AND THAT ONLY INCLUDES THE CITY LIMITS.
SO YOU'RE ONLY TALKING ABOUT AUBREY PROPER WINDRIDGE APARTMENT COMPLEX AND A COUPLE OF OTHER SMALL POCKETS.
AND I JUST WANNA POINT OUT, WHEN YOU SEE RNDD INFORMATION, OUR CITY POPULATION'S A LITTLE HIGHER BECAUSE WE'VE USED ESRI FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, UM, DATA BECAUSE THEY CONSIDER ESRI HAS OTHER WAYS OF, UH, PULLING INFORMATION ON, YOU KNOW, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE COMING THROUGH YOUR SHOPPING, DRIVING AND THE PATTERNS THROUGH TRAFFIC PATTERNS AND LOCATION APPS.
BUT, UM, SO OURS IS ALWAYS A LITTLE HIGHER THAN, BUT THERE'S A CENSUS AND COG.
OURS IS CENSUS AND COG AND YOURS.
YOU HAVE TO USE WHAT, WHAT BUSINESSES AND COMMERCIAL PEOPLE, WHAT THEY WILL RECOGNIZE, BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO COME IN AND LOOK AT THE, THE INFORMATION THAT WE'RE PROVIDING.
THEY'LL WANT THEIR OWN, THEY'LL DO THEIR OWN RESEARCH.
WHAT ELSE? I'M HERE, I'M HERE FOR YOU.
UH, I THINK I, I TOLD THE LAST GROUP THAT I TALKED TO, I THINK THE NEXT TWO YEARS WILL BE CONSIDERABLE FOR GROWTH IN WHAT WE SEE.
I MEAN, WE HAVE, WE HAVE ANOTHER STRIP GOING UP AT PINE RIDGE AND, YOU KNOW, 3 77, WE HAVE THE COMMERCIAL THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER AT 3 77 IN SPRINGHILL.
THE COMMERCIAL'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
UH, THERE, THERE'S CONTRACTS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN SIGNED AND DELIVERABLES ARE FAST APPROACHING.
SO WE KE I I THINK SOMEBODY TOLD ME YESTERDAY THAT THEY SAW PEOPLE OUT ON THE PROPERTY AT 3 77 IN SPRING HILL.
SO THEY, MAYBE THEY'RE GETTING READY TO DO SO.
HE SAID, HE TOLD ME HE A LITTLE BIT BE SEEING SOME ACTIVITY.
SO WE'RE SEEING A LITTLE BIT OF ACTIVITY.
UH, SO THAT WILL BE A, THAT WILL BE AN INFLUENCE ON THE PROPERTY ACROSS THE STREET.
THERE ARE SOME FEMA ISSUES ON 3 77.
UH, SOME OF THE RETAIL NEEDS, UH, A LOANER, UH, EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT A LUMBER IS.
IT'S, IT'S A LETTER OF MAP REVISION WHERE YOU HAVE TO DO A STUDY AND YOU SHOW THE FED, YOU SHOW THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FEMA, YOU SHOW
[00:40:01]
FEMA THAT YOU CAN, YOU CAN GET THIS PROPERTY OUT OF THE FLOODPLAIN.YOU HAVE TO ADD, ADD DIRT, TAKE AWAY DIRT, DO DIFFERENT THINGS.
I'M NOT AN ENGINEER, SO ALL I KNOW IS DIRT.
I DON'T, ALL I KNOW IS THEY HAVE TO GET THE PROPERTY OUT OF THE FLOODPLAIN AND THEN THAT'S A LOANER.
AND IT TAKES A YEAR TO GET A LOANER.
SO SOME OF THE PROPERTIES, I THINK HIGH POINT LENNAR HAS ALREADY APPLIED FOR A LOANER FOR PART OF IT.
BUT IT TAKES ENGINEERS A WHILE TO GET EVERYTHING ENGINEERED AND DONE SO THAT YOU CAN GET THAT LOANER.
I DIDN'T GET ANY ROAD QUESTIONS.
Y'ALL KNOW, Y THIS IS A DIFFERENT, THIS IS A DIFFERENT GROUP.
YOU'RE THIS IS A DIFFERENT GROUP.
YOU KNOW, I'M USED TO PEOPLE WHO, WHO ARE NOT IN THE KNOW.
I MEAN, Y'ALL ARE KIND OF IN THE KNOW.
SO, BUT WE WANTED YOU TO JUST HAVE AN IDEA OF WHERE WE'RE AT, WHAT WE'RE DOING.
UH, BROOKS, YOU HAD A GOOD QUESTION.
I MEAN, THE, THE POPULATION, WHERE ARE WE AT ON THE POPULATION? UH, WE HAVE OBJECTIONS ON 2030, 16,000.
THAT'S OUR, OUR CURRENT PROJECTION.
AND THEN 2040, WHAT WAS THE NUMBER FOR 2040? 25,000.
BUT THAT 2040 NUMBER HINGES ON THE OUTER LOOP.
AND WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE OUTER LOOP? WE SHOULD KNOW THAT ALIGNMENT NEXT YEAR AT THIS TIME.
UH, AND I THINK THAT'LL BE A DRIVING FORCE, UH, IN SOME OTHER DEVELOPMENT.
'CAUSE THERE'S OTHER DEVELOPMENT THAT'S WATCHING THE OUTER LOOP, RIGHT.
WE HAVE A LOT OF CONTACT WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE WATCHING IT AND THEY KEEP, THEY, THEY CONTACT US ABOUT EVERY SIX MONTHS AND WANT TO KNOW IF WE KNOW ANYTHING.
NO, IT BAILEY, IF BAILEY DID FROM, SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL KNOW BY THIS TIME NEXT YEAR WHAT THAT ALIGNMENT WILL BE.
AND I THINK THAT WILL DRIVE SOME PEOPLE HERE TO START TALKING ABOUT DEVELOPMENT AS WELL.
BUT THE, THE OUTER LOOP IS A WAYS OUT.
WHEN THEY DID THEIR LAST PUBLIC MEETING, THEY SHOWED 2050 FOR THE MAIN LANES TO START.
I THINK THAT'S A REALLY LONG PROJECTION.
I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT, THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO WAIT THAT LONG.
YEAH, BUT THEY DID PROBE LONG 3 77, SO THEY'RE PUSHING THAT OUT TOO.
I SAID IT'S ALL RELATED TO BUDGET.
IF Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, YOU CAN EMAIL ME TOO IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.
I DON'T MIND, UH, JUST IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION YOU WANT TO EMAIL ME, JUST BE SURE TO COPY, UH, HOLLY AND CHRISTINE ON IT SO WE'RE ALL IN THE LOOP AND WE CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS AS LONG AS IT'S NOT CONFIDENTIAL,
YOU'RE A BOARD, SO I CAN GIVE YOU SOME OF THAT CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
I JUST CAN'T DO IT IN THIS SETTING.
SO INDIVIDUALLY, WE CAN HAVE CONVERSATIONS AND EXECUTIVE SESSION, WE CAN HAVE CONVERSATIONS, AND I CAN GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON.
HAVE MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE COMP PLAN MAKES IT THROUGH.
THE THE COMP PLAN IS A LITTLE BEHIND.
UH, WE WERE NOT HAPPY WITH SOME OF THE ASPECTS OF IT, AND SO WE MADE THEM GO BACK IN, UH, AND REWORK IT IN A COUPLE OF PLACES.
UH, I DON'T WANNA SAY THEY WEREN'T HAPPY ABOUT IT, BUT THEY CHARGED US MORE MONEY TO DO IT.
SO I WOULD THINK THAT THEY WERE, MAY HAVE WANTED TO, YOU KNOW, US TO GO WITH WHAT THEY PRESENTED, BUT WE DID NOT.
THERE WERE SOME THINGS THAT WE DIDN'T LIKE THAT WE MADE THEM GO BACK AND WORK ON.
SO YOU'LL SEE IT PRETTY QUICK.
I THINK P AND Z IS PRETTY EARLY IN NOVEMBER.
I, UH, UH, COUNCIL IS EARLY IN NOVEMBER BECAUSE OF THANKSGIVING.
I THINK WE'RE ON THE 20TH OR THE 23RD OR SOMETHING, SO.
I'M AVAILABLE IF Y'ALL HAVE ANY.
