WE, WE EXPECT TO SEE THAT IN THE JERSEY.
UH, CONSENT ITEMS. WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO REMOVE ANYTHING? COULD WE GET SOME DIRECTION ON? OH, YES, SIR.
UM, MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO, UH, PUBLICLY ANNOUNCE THAT WE'RE SEEKING APPLICANTS FOR LEAST TWO.
SO, SO I MEAN, PER THE CHARTER, BECAUSE THERE ARE THREE YEAR TERMS FOR THE MAYOR AND EACH COUNCIL MEMBER, UM, GENERALLY WE HAVE TO HOLD AN ELECTION WITHIN 120 DAYS.
THAT'S ALWAYS THE CASE FOR THE MAYOR.
BUT THERE IS A PROVISION IN THE CHARTER THAT PROVIDES THAT IF THERE'S LESS THAN 12 MONTHS, UH, OR 12 MONTHS OR LESS LEFT WITHIN THE TERM OF A COUNCIL MEMBER, THEN THE COUNCIL MAY APPOINT.
AND THAT APPOINTMENT WOULD BE THROUGH THE END OF THE THEN EXISTING
[00:20:01]
TERM.SO, UM, YOU CERTAINLY CAN APPOINT, UM, IF YOU HELD THE ELECTION, YOU WOULD BE HOLDING THAT ON AN OFF BUBBLE DAY.
IT WOULD NOT FALL ON A UNIFORM ELECTION DAY, AND ALL THE COSTS OF THAT ELECTION WOULD FALL TO THE CITY OF AUBREY.
SO, UM, ECONOMICALLY, THAT'S NOT, NOT THE MOST OPTIMUM, BUT, UH, YOU ARE ALLOWED TO APPOINT, AND THEN Y'ALL CAN DECIDE WHAT PROCESS YOU'RE GONNA USE TO ATTEMPT TO FIND A GOOD FIT.
IT CAN WE OPEN IT UP FOR APPLICATIONS AND DO AN INTERVIEW PROCESS OR, UH, WE'RE PREPARED TO ANNOUNCE THE VACANCY TOMORROW.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL APPLY, BUT, AND THEN SET UP INTERVIEWS FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE JUNE MEETING.
MAYBE COME OUT OF THE INTERVIEWS AND APPOINT SOMEONE IN JUNE.
WE'LL KEEP YOU APPRISED OF HOW MANY APPLICATIONS WE'VE RECEIVED, JUST IN CASE YOU WANNA SEE THEM ALL.

CONSIDER AN ACT ON RESOLUTION NUMBER 1 0 4 9 DASH 26, ACCEPTING THE PRELIMINARY SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN
[00:25:01]
FOR AUTHORIZED IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE P PALOMINO PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.MAYOR COUNCIL, UH, JIM SABONI IS HERE TO, UH, MAKE A, A SHORT PRESENTATION ON THE PALOMINO SUBDIVISION.
THERE'S NO TURS ASSOCIATED WITH IT, SO I'LL TURN IT OVER TO JIM.
UH, MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBER CITIZENS OF AUBREY PALOMINO PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.
TONIGHT, YOU HAVE A PRELIMINARY SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLANNING BE RECEIVING.
THIS IS A VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD PROJECT AND IT REALLY REPRESENTS IN, IN, IN MY THOUGHT.
UH, IT'S SMALL, BUT IT'S AN EXCELLENT, UH, BENEFIT TO THE CITY.
THIS PROJECT ITSELF IS JUST UNDER 40 ACRES.
IT'S GONNA HAVE 300, UM, 30 FOOT LOTS.
UH, IT WILL DEDICATE 0.8 ACRES TO THE CITY.
ULTIMATELY, IT'LL GENERATE 90 MILLION OF TAXABLE EXCESS VALUE TO THE CITY.
AND AS MIKE INDICATED, ONE GOOD THING ABOUT THIS PROJECT HAS NO TAX INCREMENT, REINVESTMENT ZONE, UH, PARTICIPATION.
SO ALL THE TAXES WILL COME TO THE CITY AND BENEFIT THE CITY.
UH, AT THE 90 MILLION IN OUR CURRENT TAX RATE, JUST OVER $400,000 ARE BECOMING, UM, IT'S GOT A MODERATE, UH, PIT ASSESSMENT RATE OF 55 CENTS.
UM, AND, AND AGAIN, UM, THE REASON WE'RE HERE TODAY IS BECAUSE WITH THE PRELIMINARY SERVICE ASSESSMENT PLAN APPROVED TODAY, UM, MOVING FORWARD, THERE'LL BE SOME ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS THIS SUMMER AND IN OCTOBER, UH, THEY EXPECT ISSUE BONDS TO CLOSE IN NOVEMBER AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT.
UM, THE, UH, SERVICE ASSESSMENT PLAN INDICATES THAT THE TAX RATES, UH, HERE, UM, YOU'RE GONNA SEE THAT THE ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LEVY WILL BE ABOUT $1,650 TOTAL OVER 30 YEARS WILL BE ABOUT $19,433.
UM, UH, BASED ON THE BOND SIZE THEY PROPOSED, UH, IT, IT'LL BE, UH, REALLY NOT AS HEAVILY LEVERAGED AS SOME PROJECTS BASED ON A COMPLETED LOT VALUE OF $60,000.
UM, THE VALUE OF THE LOT VERSUS A LIEN ABOUT THREE TO FOUR AT FINANCING, UM, WHICH IS PRETTY HIGH COMPARED TO OTHER PROJECTS WE'VE DONE.
ON THE NEXT PAGE, YOU'RE GONNA SEE WHAT'S ACTUALLY TAKING PLACE WITH THIS, UM, THAT THE ASSESSMENTS, UM, WILL BE, UH, MONETIZED.
THE PRESENT VALUE OF THE ASSESSMENTS WILL GENERATE $5.6 MILLION OF BONDS.
A DEVELOPER THEMSELVES WILL BE PUTTING IN ABOUT 4.8 MILLION OF THEIR FUNDS TO ACTUALLY FUND, UH, FOUR 10 POINT 0.5 MILLION OF, OF ACTUAL ELIGIBLE IN INVESTMENTS, I MEAN, ELIGIBLE PROJECTS.
UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS STRUCTURED, UH, EXACTLY AS WE'VE STRUCTURED OTHER PAID PROJECTS.
UM, UNDER THE BEST PRACTICES THAT WE HAVE FOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT, SPECIAL REVENUE BONDS, THERE'LL BE A DEBT SERVICE RESERVE, UM, FULLY FUNDED IN PLACE.
THEY'LL PRE DEPOSIT THE FIRST YEAR OF ADMINISTRATIVE FUND.
AND, UM, THE BONDS, UH, WE EXPECT TO BE AT A LITTLE HIGHER RATE BECAUSE IT'S A SMALLER SIZE DISTRICT, IT'S, IT'S 6%.
UM, AND OVER 30 YEARS, IT'LL BE ABOUT $12.8 MILLION.
AGAIN, THE WHOLE GOAL IS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS OVER THE SUMMERTIME TO END UP WITH ISSUING BONDS IN OCTOBER.
CLOSING IN NUMBER IN, IN SUMMARY, IT'S A SMALLER PROJECT, BUT AGAIN, THE SMALLER PROJECT HAS ASKED FOR NO TOURS INCENTIVE, AND A MODERATE, UM, PIT ASSESSMENT RATE, UH, COMPARED TO SOME OF OUR LARGER PROJECTS.
YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR, WE'VE WORKED WITH YOUR STAFF, UM, ON THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.
UM, AND, UH, WE REVIEWED THE PRELIMINARY SERVICE ASSESSMENT PLAN.
WE'D RECOMMEND APPROVAL AND MOVING FORWARD AS INDICATED.
AND IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS? PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION YOU HAVE? WHERE'S THIS ONE LOCATED? WELL, NOW THAT ONE I CAN'T ANSWER.
WE'LL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PLANNING AND SOME OF YOUR STAFF PEOPLE HERE.
I CAN TELL YOU THE NUMBERS, BUT THAT I DON'T KNOW.
SO THIS ONE'S ON FM 29 31, UH, JUST NORTH OF SILVERADO.
NEED A MOTION UNLESS YOU HAVE A QUESTION.
MOTION TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION FOR THE PALAMINO PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT AND SET PUBLIC HEARING FOR 6:00 PM ON JUNE 25TH, 2026.
ALL IN FAVOR PASSES FOUR TO ZERO.
CONSIDERATION ACT ON A PRELIMINARY PRO, UH, PRELIMINARY PLAQUE FOR SOLID ROCK.
[00:30:01]
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.THIS ITEM IS A CONSIDERATION OF A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR SOLID ROCK, UH, CONSISTING OF THREE LOTS.
UM, AND APPROXIMATELY 10.407 ACRES IN THE CITY OF AUDREY, UTJ.
THIS PRELIMINARY PLAT WAS, UH, CONDITIONALLY APPROVED BY COUNCIL, UM, ON APRIL 23RD, 2026, WITH CONDITIONS.
IT IS GENERALLY LOCATED, UH, WEST OF SILVERADO PARKWAY AND SOUTH OF FRONTIER PARKWAY, AND NORTH OF FM 29 31 AND LIBERTY ROAD IN THE CITY OF A ETJ.
THE PRELIMINARY PLAT, UH, IS TO CREATE THREE, THREE LOTS FROM FIVE TRACKS, UH, CONSISTING OF TWO ONE STORY METAL BUILDINGS COUNCIL PREVIOUSLY APPROVED.
UH, CONDITIONALLY APPROVED THE PRELIMINARY PLAT WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS THAT THE CIVIL PLAN SUBMITTED PRIOR TO FINAL PLAT APPLICATION.
MUST INCLUDE AN OFFSITE ROADWAY ACCESS THAT COMPLIES WITH THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE.
ARTICLE ONE, GENERAL PROVISIONS SECTION 4.03, ADEQUACY OF FACILITIES GENERALLY SUBSECTION C STREETS REQUIRING THAT NEW DEVELOPMENT PROVIDE A SAFE, CONVENIENT, AND FUNCTIONAL SYSTEM FOR VEHICULAR BICYCLE PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION, AND SHALL BE PROPERLY RELATED TO THE APPLICABLE MASTER ICAL PLAN.
NEW DEVELOPMENT SHALL BE SUPPORTED BY A THOROUGHFARE NETWORK, HAVING ADEQUATE CAPACITY AND SAFE AND EFFICIENT TRAFFIC CIRCULATION, AND HAVE ADEQUATE ACCESS TO THE THOROUGHFARE NETWORK.
THE OFFSITE IMPROVEMENTS MUST BE APPROVED BY THE CITY ENGINEER AS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS.
AND THE SECOND CONDITION WAS THAT, UH, THE OFFSITE ROADWAY COMPLIES WITH THE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS, SUBDIVISION DESIGN STANDARDS, ARTICLE THREE, SECTION 1.03, ADEQUACY OF STREETS AND THOROUGH AFFAIRS BY PROVIDING A STREET NETWORK THAT PROVIDES ADEQUATE CAPACITY, INGRESS, EGRESS, AND SAFE AND EFFICIENT TRAFFIC CIRCULATION, AND PROVIDE AND APPROVED BY THE CITY ENGINEER IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE DESIGN STANDARDS.
SO SINCE, UH, COUNCIL'S CONDITIONAL APPROVAL, UH, IN APRIL, APPLICANT SUBMITTED A RESPONSE LETTER, UH, THAT'S ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA.
UH, THE IN STAFF'S REVIEW, THE APPLICANT'S RESPONSE, UH, DOES NOT ADEQUATELY ADDRESS THE CONDITIONS AS NO IMPROVEMENTS ARE BEING PROPOSED FOR OUR MAVERICK LANE TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE ACCESS NECESSARY TO MEET THE, UH, DEN COUNTY STANDARDS, WHICH HAS JURISDICTION IN THIS AREA.
STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE CONDITIONS REMAIN TO ALLOW MORE TIME FOR THE APPLICANT TO ADDRESS THE CONDITIONS.
A FINAL PLAN APPLICATION WAS ALSO SUBMITTED, UH, FOR THE SITE, WHICH WAS DEEMED INCOMPLETE.
AND, UH, THE APPLICANT SUBMITTED A, UH, WITHDRAWAL REQUEST TO WITHDRAW THE APPLICATION.
SINCE ACTION ON THE PRELIMINARY PLAT, UM, TWO PUBLIC COMMENTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED, UH, WHICH ARE INCLUDED IN THE AGENDA.
STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE PRELIMINARY PLAT AND RECOMMENDED THE CONDITIONS REMAIN.
UH, ACTION OPTIONS FOR COUNSEL ARE, UH, MAKE A MOTION TO THAT THE CONDITIONS REMAIN, OR NEITHER THE PRELIMINARY PLAT, AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS.
SO BASICALLY WHAT I'M UNDERSTANDING IS THEY JUST RESUBMITTED WHAT THEY HAD BEFORE AND THEY DIDN'T MAKE ANY IMPROVEMENTS TO IT.
THEY, THEY HAVE, UH, ONE ADDITIONAL ACCESS POINT, UM, ONTO MAVERICK LANE FROM, UH, THAT'S WHAT THEY PROPOSED.
UH, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, UH, WE DIDN'T SEE ANY CHANGES.
UM, SO THEY DID ADD AN ADDITIONAL DRIVE OFF OF MAVERICK ROAD TO MAKE THE, THE TWO FORMS OF EGRESS AND INGRESS.
UM, BUT THERE WAS STILL NO ADDRESS TO THE MAVERICK LANE.
UM, THERE'S BEEN COMMUNICATION WITH DENTON COUNTY, WITH THE CLIENT, AND WITH THE CITY, AND THEY HAD RECEIVED CONFLICTING INFORMATION.
UM, SOME STAFF THAT THEY SPOKE TO AT THE COUNTY SAID THAT THEY DID NOT NEED TO IMPROVE THE ROAD, AND THEN SOME STAFF AT COUNTY SAID THAT THEY DID.
UH, WE'VE RECEIVED BOTH COMMENTS IN WRITING SAYING YOU DON'T, AND THEN SAYING YOU DID.
UM, SO WE HAVE RECENTLY, UH, RECEIVED CONFIRMATION FROM THE COUNTY THAT THEY ARE REQUIRING MAVERICK LANE TO BE IMPROVED.
UM, IT IS CONSIDERED A FIRE LANE, IT'S PRIVATE, AND SO IT IS CONSIDERED A FIRE, FIRE LANE, AND THEY ARE REQUIRING IT TO BE IMPROVED 24 FOOT WIDE WITH, UM, IMPROVEMENTS, YES, ALL WEATHER SURFACE.
UM, SO THE WAY THE, THE PLAT IS, UM, WE, WE HAVE TWO OPTIONS.
UH, AND REALLY IT'S A DENIAL OF THE PLAT, WHETHER IT'S A CONTINUED, UH, CONDITIONAL APPROVAL OR WHETHER IT'S DENIED.
UH, THE SAME ACTIONS ARE REQUIRED OF THE CLIENT.
[00:35:01]
AND MAKE THE, UH, CONDITIONS OR THE REASON FOR DENIAL, THEY WOULD FIX THOSE CONDITIONS AND THEN IT WOULD BE RE REPRESENTED.AND IF YOU NEED ANY LEGAL ADVICE, WE CAN, WE CAN DO THAT AS WELL.
MAYOR, I MOVE THAT THE PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR SOLID ROCK PROPERTY ON APPROXIMATELY 10.407 ACRES, GENERALLY LOCATED WEST OF SILVERADO PARKWAY, SOUTH OF FRONTIER PARKWAY, AND NORTH OF FM 29 31 AND LIBERTY ROAD IN THE CITY'S ETJ BE DISAPPROVED BECAUSE THE RESPONSE BY THE APPLICANT PROVIDED PURSUANT TO TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION TWO 12 DASH OR 0 0 9 3 DID NOT SATISFY THE FOLLOWING CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL CONDITIONS FOR THE PRE PRELIMINARY PLAT AS STATED IN THE APRIL 23RD, 2026 CONDITIONAL APPROVAL.
THE CIVIL PLAN SUBMITTED PRIOR TO THE FINAL PLAT APPLICATION MUST INCLUDE AN OFFSITE ACCESS ROADWAY, ONE THAT COMPLIES WITH SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE ARTICLE ONE, GENERAL PROVISION SECTION 4.03, ADEQUACY OF FACILITIES GENERALLY SUBSECTION C STREETS REQUIRING THAT NEW DEVELOPMENT PRO PROVIDE A SAFE AND CONVENIENT AND FUNCTIONAL SYSTEM FOR VEHICULAR BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION AND BE PROPERLY RE RE RELATED TO THE APPLICABLE MASTER.
UH, NEW DEVELOPMENTS SHALL BE SUPPORTED BY THOROUGHFARE NETWORK, HAVING ADEQUATE CAPACITY AND SAFE AND EFFICIENT TRAFFIC CIRCULATION, AND HAVE ADEQUATE ACCESS TO THE THOROUGHFARE NETWORK.
THE OFFSITE IMPROVEMENT MUST BE APPROVED BY THE CITY ENGINEER AS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SUBJECT SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS.
AND TWO, THAT COMPLIES WITH SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS, SUBDIVISION DESIGN STANDARDS, ARTICLE THREE, SECTION 1.03, ADEQUACY OF STREETS AND THOROUGHFARES BY PROVIDING A STREET NETWORK THAT PROVIDES ADEQUATE CAPACITY, INGRESS, INGRESS, EGRESS, AND SAFE AND EFFICIENT TRAFFIC CIRCULATION AND APPROVED BY THE CITY ENGINEER IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE DESIGN STANDARDS.
MY JEFF, CHECKING MY CHECK ON FAVOR PASSAGE FOUR TO ZERO.
ALRIGHT, ITEM, UH, 18, UH, HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING.
CONSIDER AND TAKE ACTION ON ORDINANCE NUMBER 9 55 DASH 26 REPEALING SECTION 27 SIGN REGULATIONS AND ADOPTING A NEW CHAPTER 17 SIGN REGULATIONS.
UH, WE WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6 38, UM, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
THIS ITEM IS, UH, TWO REPEAL SECTION 27, UH, WHICH IS SIGN REGULATIONS IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE, AND CREATE A NEW CHAPTER, CHAPTER 17 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY, UH, UH, CALLED SIGN REGULATIONS, UH, TO RE CODIFY THE SIGN REGULATIONS.
SO, UM, WE ARE, IT'S PRIMARILY JUST OUR LOCATION OF THE SIGN REGULATIONS FROM ZONING ORDINANCE TO A NEW CHAPTER IN THE CODE.
THE SIGN REGULATIONS FOR THE CITY OF AUBREY WERE ORIGINALLY ADOPTED AS A NEW SECTION OF THIS ZONING ORDINANCE IN FEBRUARY, 2010.
A COMPREHENSIVE REVISION WAS MADE IN JUNE, 2025 TO IMPLEMENT AN APPROVED SET OF STANDARDS.
UM, SINCE THEN, THE CITY HAS, UH, DETERMINED THAT, UH, SIGN REGULATIONS ARE MORE APPROPRIATELY ADMINISTERED AS A STANDALONE CHAPTER WITHIN THE CODE AS OPPOSED TO WITHIN THE ZONING ORDINANCE.
UH, AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS SIGN REGULATIONS ARE APPLICABLE CITYWIDE AS WELL AS IN THE ETJ, WHILE ZONING ORDINANCE IS ONLY APPLICABLE, UH, IN THE, UH, STATE LIMITS.
UH, STANDALONE CHAPTER IS EASILY LOCATED AND REFERENCED AND APPLIED TO THE CITY, UH, APPLIED BY THE CITY STAFF, APPLICANTS, AND THE PUBLIC WITHOUT NAVI, UH, WITHOUT NAVIGATING THE ZONING ORDINANCE.
FRAMEWORK ENFORCEMENT OF SCIENCE STANDARDS IS NOT CONSTRAINED BY PROCEDURAL OR JURISDICTIONAL LIMITS OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE.
AND A STANDALONE CHAPTER IS MORE VISIBLE, UH, AND ACCESSIBLE TO RESIDENTS, BUSINESSES, AND DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY.
UH, THIS AMENDMENT IS PRIMARILY A RELOCATION OF THE SIGNED REGULATIONS VERBATIM FROM SECTION 27 OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO A NEW CHAPTER, CHAPTER 17 OF THE AUBREY CODE OF ORDINANCES.
IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THIS, THE SECTION 27 OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE IS BEING REPEALED, UH, IN ITS ENTIRETY.
AND A NEW CHAPTER, CHAPTER 17, IS BEING ADOPTED.
THIS AMENDMENT IS PURELY ADMINISTRATIVE AND WILL NOT IMPACT THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION ENFORCEMENT OF THE SIGNED REGULATIONS.
NO AMENDMENTS TO CONTENT STANDARDS OR REQUIREMENTS, UH, ARE BEING PROPOSED.
THE ONLY MODIFICATIONS ARE TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS.
UM, TO UPDATE THE ARTICLE SECTION NUMBERS AND INTERNAL CROSS REFERENCES, NOTIFICATIONS WERE
[00:40:01]
PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE AND THE ZONING ORDINANCE, AND, UH, WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSES IN SUPPORT OR IN OPPOSITION.STAFF RECOMMEND THAT THE APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE FOR SIGN REGULATIONS AS PRESENTED PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AT THEIR MAY 14TH, 2026 MEETING.
THE CITY COUNCIL MAY APPROVE THE ORDINANCE, APPROVE THE ORDINANCE FOR REVISIONS, OR DENY THE ORDINANCE.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE SIGN, ORDINANCE, ANY PUBLIC INPUT SINCE THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING AIR MOVE TO, WHAT WAS THAT? LEMME CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6 41 AIR MOVE TO APPROVE THE ZONING ORDINANCE, AMENDMENT FOR SIGN REGULATIONS.

ALRIGHT, CONSIDERATION ON ACTION ON, ON A REGIONAL TREATED WATER SUPPLY CONTRACT WITH UPPER TRINITY REGIONAL WATER DISTRICT.
GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.
THIS REGIONAL TREATED WATER SUPPLY CONTRACT REPLACES OUR PRIOR 1999, UH, PARTICIPATING MEMBER CONTRACT AND ESTABLISHES AUBREY'S WHOLESALE ACCESS TO UPPER TRINITY, UH, TREATED WATER PROGRAM.
THE CONTRACT HELPS TO PROVIDE AUBREY WITH RELIABLE TREATED WATER TO SUPPORT GROWTH, REDUCE, UH, DEPENDENCY ON GROUNDWATER, UM, AUBREY'S WATER INFRASTRUCTURE WITH THE REGIONAL, UH, SUPPLY PLANNING.
UM, AUBREY CURRENTLY RELIES SOLELY ON GROUNDWATER, UM, BUT WITH CONTINUED GROWTH AND WITH THE AVAILABILITY OF GROUNDWATER SUPPLY, IT NECESSITATES, UH, THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL SOURCES.
THIS NEED WAS RECOGNIZED BY CITY OFFICIALS OVER 25 YEARS AGO WHEN PLANNING FOR, UH, THE FUTURE STARTED WITH THE UPPER TRINITY REGIONAL WATER DISTRICT.
THE CONTRACT IS IN, UH, THIS IS OUR FIRST PHASE OF SURFACE WATER DELIVERY AND IS ANTICIPATED TO SERVE EAST OF HIGHWAY 3 77 AND NORTH OF SPRING HILL ROAD.
THE INITIAL DAILY DEMAND CONTRACT IS FOR 2 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY AND IT WILL BE SUPPLEMENTED WITH GROUNDWATER SOURCES FOR A BLENDED SUPPLY IN THAT AREA.
UH, THE REMAINING SERVICE AREA WITHIN AUBREY'S, UH, CITY LIMITS AND UH, SERVICE AREA WILL REMAIN ON GROUNDWATER, UH, FOR THE NEAR FUTURE.
OUR CURRENT MASTER PLAN, UH, IS IN REVISION.
UH, SO WE'LL BE LOOKING AT THE NEXT 40 TO 50 YEARS AND PROJECT WIND.
UH, WE THINK THAT THERE'LL BE SOME ADDITIONAL AREAS THAT NEED TO HAVE THE BLENDED SOURCE.
UPPER TRINITY IS DESIGNED AND WILL CONSTRUCT THE DELIVERY PIPELINE TO DELIVER, UH, TO OUR DELIVERY POINT AT BLACKJACK AND HIGHWAY 3 77.
UH, CONSTRUCTION IS TAR TARGETED FOR COMPLETION JANUARY OF 2028.
UH, WE ARE CURRENTLY IN DESIGN FOR THE GROUND STORAGE TANK, AN ELEVATED TOWER AND THE PUMP STATION.
THIS CONTRACT DETAILS THAT UPPER TRINITY OPERATES, UH, A SEPARATE AGREEMENT WITH THE DALLAS FOR UNTREATED SURFACE WATER AND THEY ARE DEVELOPING LAKE RALPH HALL, UH, RIGHT NOW AS ADDITIONAL VOLUME IS NEEDED BY AUBREY.
AND WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE TO UPPER TRINITY, THIS DELIVERY POINT WILL HAVE A MAXIMUM OF 6 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY.
THE NOTABLE, UM, ELEMENTS IN THE CONTRACT INCLUDE, UH, AN AGREEMENT THAT THE CITY OF AUBREY WILL MAINTAIN A WATER MASTER PLAN, UH, WHICH WE DO, UH, UPDATE THAT AT LEAST EVERY FIVE YEARS.
UH, LATELY WE'VE BEEN UPDATING IT EVERY COUPLE YEARS.
UH, IT, WE AGREE TO ADHERE TO A DROUGHT CONTINGENCY AND WATER CONSERVATION PROGRAM, WHICH WE ALREADY HAVE AN ORDINANCE THAT'S IN PLACE, UH, WE'LL JUST MAKE SURE WE'RE ALIGNED WITH WITH UPPER TRINITY.
UM, WE AGREE TO PROMOTE WATERSHED PROTECTION.
WE AGREE TO IMPLEMENT A REGULATORY PROGRAM FOR ONSITE SEWER TREATMENT FACILITIES, UM, THAT IS FOR YOUR SEPTIC, UM, YOUR AEROBIC SYSTEMS TO TRY TO MINIMIZE POLLUTION TO SURFACE WATERS.
WE AGREE NOT TO SELL WATER TO AN ENTITY OUTSIDE OF OUR SERVICE AREA, SO WE AGREED NOT TO BUY WATER AND SELL IT TO ANOTHER COMMUNITY, UH, 'CAUSE WE'RE NOT A REGIONAL PROVIDER.
UH, THE CONTRACT ALSO, UM, HAS US AGREE TO CONVEY EASEMENTS AT NO COST TO UPPER TRINITY FOR WATER DELIVERY FACILITIES TO DELIVER WATER TO OPRY AND TO DELIVER WATER TO OTHER, UH, MEMBERS OF THE DISTRICT.
THE CONTRACT ALSO INCLUDES AN AGREEMENT, UH, THAT WE'LL USE OUR BEST EFFORTS TO RESERVE EASEMENTS FOR FUTURE UPPER TRINITY PIPELINES, UM, TO NORTHERN CITIES, UM, THAT UPPER TRINITY PLANS TO SERVE IN THE FUTURE.
UH, THE OTHER, UH, ELEMENT THAT I WANTED TO POINT OUT IS, UM, THE AGREEMENT THAT WE INCLUDE OPPORTUNITY IN OUR DEVELOPMENT REVIEWS, UM, FOR REVIEWING PLATS WITH PROPOSED CROSSINGS OF THEIR DISTRICT PIPELINES.
AND THAT WE GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW AND APPROVE THAT BEFORE WE APPROVE, UH, THE PLAT.
AND I'M HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE THAT WAS KIND OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE THINGS THAT WE AGREED TO WITHIN THAT CONTRACT.
INITIALLY IT'S 2 MILLION GALLONS A DAY.
HOW MANY GALLONS A DAY DO WE CURRENTLY USE? WE ARE CURRENTLY, UM, PUMPING ABOUT 500,000 GALLONS A DAY.
THAT'S SUBSTANTIALLY MORE WATER THAN IT IS WHAT WE, YEAH.
[01:00:01]
OUR NEAR FUTURE WE WILL BE IN, IN GOOD SHAPE.THAT DOES TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION DEVELOPMENTS THAT WE HAVE PLANNED THAT SHOULD BE IN CONSTRUCTION IN TWO YEARS.
SO WE'LL BE READY FOR IT WHEN IT GETS THERE.
I NOTICED IN THE, SOME OF THE STATEMENTS TALKING ABOUT DRILLING NEW WELLS WAS THAT SATISFIED IN APPENDIX C WHERE THERE'S NO RESTRICTION ON DRILLING WELLS THAT IT FOR UH, GROUNDWATER.
WE DID HAVE LEGAL, UH, WE HAD A WATER ATTORNEY AND ALSO OUR, OUR LEGAL COUNSEL REVIEW THE AGREEMENT.
UM, AND THE EXHIBIT THAT THEY PROVIDED THAT INCLUDED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE WATER SHORTAGE FOR SURFACE WATER AND THAT THEY DID ENCOURAGE US TO CONTINUE DRILLING WELL AND THERE WAS NO COMPENSATION FOR THE EASEMENTS THAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR.
THAT IS WHAT THEY'RE, UM, ASKING US TO AGREE TO BEFORE WE WE VOTE ON IT.
I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS WITH LEGAL IN EXECUTIVE SESSION ON FOR SOME LEGAL ADVICE ON THIS.
OKAY, WE'LL DO THAT THEN WE'LL TAKE IT TO EXECUTIVE SESSION.
UM, ITEM 26, UH, CONSIDERATION ON ACTS ON RESOLUTION NUMBER 1 0 3 9 DASH 26.
NOMINATING A CANDIDATE FOR THE DENKO AREA 9 1 1 DISTRICT BOARD OF MANAGERS MAYOR.
THIS IS A CARRYOVER FROM LAST MONTH WHERE THE COUNCIL HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO NOMINATE SOMEONE FOR DENKO 9 1 1 STAFF DOES NOT HAVE ANY RECOMMENDATION ON ANYBODY AT THIS TIME.
UH, BUT WE WANTED ON THE AGENDA IN CASE UH, ONE OF YOU HAD HEARD OF SOMETHING OR KNOW OF SOMEONE YOU WANT TO BE ON THE BOARD, YOU WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE FOR WHOEVER IS NOMINATED AT A FUTURE MEETING.
ALRIGHT, WE'LL TAKE NO ACTION.
ALRIGHT, ITEM 27, CONSIDERATION AND ACTION ON RESOLUTION NUMBER 1 0 5 0 DASH 26 APPROVING THE AUBREY MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT BYLAWS.
SO I'M GOING TO JUST HIGHLIGHT THE CHANGES AND THEN I'LL JUST FOCUS ON ONE CHANGE 'CAUSE YOU'VE GOT IT ALL IN FRONT OF YOU.
UM, ON MAY 12TH, 2026, THE AUBREY MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT BOARD MET AND REVIEWED, UM, AND APPROVED SEVERAL UPDATES TO THE BYLAWS FOR THE MTD.
AND WE PROPOSED THE FOLLOWING REVISIONS AND THEY DID APPROVE THEM.
UM, THIS UPDATES THE DOCUMENT.
IT ALIGNS THE OPERATING PROCEDURES WITH THE MOST RECENTLY ADOPTED CITY OF OPRY PURCHASING POLICIES.
AND IT CLARIFIES THE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF OFFICERS OF THE BOARD AND, UM, CITY STAFF.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE, MANY OF THESE SECTIONS JUST UPDATE AND REVISE THE DOCUMENT TO OUR CURRENT AGREEMENTS THAT WE HAVE WITH CITY AND, UM, WITH THE POLICIES THAT THE CITY FOLLOWS AS WELL AS OUR OFFICERS.
AND THEN SECTION 5.02 IS THE BIGGER CHANGE THAT, UH, WOULD ALLOW THE BOARD TO APPROVE PROJECTS AND BUDGET ITEMS UP TO $25,000 OR WHEN REQUIRED BY LAW, UH, IT WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK TO THE CITY, BUT IF IT WAS ALREADY IN THE BUDGET THAT YOU ALL APPROVE EACH YEAR, UM, IT WOULD TAKE THE BOARD'S APPROVAL LEVEL TO THE SAME LEVEL AS OUR FINANCE DIRECTOR.
SO THOSE ARE THE BIGGEST CHANGES.
SO, UM, WE FELT THESE OP THESE UPDATES STRENGTHEN THE OPERATIONAL CLARITY, STREAMLINE PROJECT APPROVAL PROCESSES, AND ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE CITY'S FINANCIAL POLICIES.
SO IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER.
I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION.

ANY ACTION UNTIL THE JUNE 25TH, 2026 MEETING.
MOTION BY MIKE, SECOND BY RANDY.
MOTION ON THE TABLE PASSES FOUR TO ZERO.
[Discussion on Department Reports and Updates]
REPORTS AND UPDATES.I GONNA DO AN UPDATE ON THE FLY AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS NOT HERE,
AND I, I THINK CONTRIBUTED TO THE, TO THE VICTIM'S CARE.
SO I JUST WANT TO SAY PROPS TO OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT.
I THINK THAT'S A PRETTY BIG DEAL.
AND HE PROBABLY WOULDN'T TELL YOU IF HE WAS HERE, BUT CHIEF SLAUGHTER WAS ON SCENE AND HE ACTUALLY ASSISTED IN THE DELIVERY OF THE BLOOD.
THEY'RE, THEY'RE REALLY THRILLED ABOUT IT.
DO WE WANNA SEE TWO OR THREE PICTURES? UH, I DON'T, I I BROUGHT 'EM.
I I JUST WANTED TO SHOW, SHOW YOU 'CAUSE I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT HOW THINGS ARE COMING OUTTA THE GROUND NOW AND IT'S TURNING INTO SOMETHING.
SO THAT'S THE CONTROL BUILDING OFFICES.
AND THEN THE BACK WHERE THE BIG DOOR IS THE MAINTENANCE BUILDING.
UM, THIS IS LIKE THE HEART OF THE TREATMENT PROCESS.
THIS IS WHERE THE ACTIVATED SLUDGE ACTUALLY TAKES PLACE.
UM, YOU CAN SEE THE CAPACITY, HOW BIG IT IS.
UM, THAT'S TWO SEPARATE CHANGE BIRDS.
YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE IN THE NEXT PICTURE HOW EACH ONE HAS ITS OWN DIFFUSERS.
THERE'S THE BLOWER THAT, UM, IS GOING TO CREATE THE AIR PRESSURE FOR THE DIFFUSERS THAT WE'RE GONNA SEE IN THE NEXT PICTURE.
YOU CAN SEE THAT'S JUST HALF OF THE AERATION BASIN.
AND WHEN THOSE BLOWERS TURN ON AND IT'S FULL OF WATER, EACH ONE OF THOSE IN THERE AND THERE'S HUNDREDS OF THEM IN THERE.
THEY PRODUCE FINE LITTLE TINY AIR BUBBLES THAT JUST BOIL IT LIKE A BOWL OF SOUP.
I MEAN, IT, IT, AND IT AERATES.
IT KEEPS THE RIGHT BACTERIA THAT WE WANT ALIVE.
AND THEN BEYOND THAT ARE THE CLARIFIERS WHERE THAT WATER GOES.
THE CLEAR WATER GOES OVER THE, WE, UM, THE, UM, SLUDGE SETTLES TO THE BOTTOM AND SOME OF THE SLUDGE COMES BACK TO FEED THE NEW BUGS.
AND SOME OF IT GOES TO A SLUDGE.
[01:10:01]
LOOK AT MORE OF THAT LATER.UM, LET'S SEE, WHAT ELSE WERE I GONNA TALK ABOUT? WASTEWATER PLANT WAS, WE, UM, THEY'RE SETTING PUMPS BLOWERS, OBVIOUSLY THEY GOT THOSE MOUNTED IN THE BUILDING OF THE GRIT CHAMBER.
IT'S, IT IS KIND OF CONFUSING.
I DIDN'T TAKE A PICTURE OF IT 'CAUSE IT COULD TAKE A WHILE TO EXPLAIN IT ALL BY ITSELF.
BUT IT REMOVES THE INITIAL GRIT, THE GRAVELS SNAILS AND THINGS THAT COME IN THE INFLUENCE.
AND IT'S A SYMBOL STANDING UP THERE BY THE HEAD.
SO THAT'S A, A CREATION, YOU KNOW, IT, IT'S, IT IS PRETTY INTERESTING.
UM, WE LET'S THE EQUIPMENT THAT THE HEAD WORKS, RIGHT? ALRIGHT.
UM, THEY'RE BEGINNING TO BUILD GROUND STORAGE TANK.
THE FOUNDATION'S BEEN FINISHED FOR A WHILE AND THERE WAS A TRUCK AND CRANE OVER THERE EARLIER THIS WEEK AND THEY WERE OFFLOADING ALL THEIR STEEL PLATE FOR THE FLOOR AND THE WALLS AND STUFF.
SO THAT'S FIXING TO START COMING OUTTA THE GROUND OVER THERE.
UH, THEY GOT IN THEIR BLOCKS FOR THE PUMP STATION.
AGAIN, THE FOUNDATION HAD BEEN POURED FOR A WHILE, BUT THEY COULDN'T GET IN WITH THE BIG TRUCK AND THE BLOCKS UNTIL IT DRIED OUT A LITTLE.
BUT THEY'RE ACTUALLY BUILDING THE WALLS.
THEY'RE PROBABLY ABOUT HALF BUILT NOW FOR THE PUMP STATION ITSELF.
AND SO HOPEFULLY ROCK HILL PUMP STATION WILL BE GONE.
WE NOW OWN A, A COUPLE OF TRANSFORMERS.
UM, WE HAD TO BUY A TRANSFORMER, A TEMPORARY TRANSFORMER TO RUN THE WELL PUMP UNTIL THE PUMP STATION'S FINISHED AND ALL THE T EQUIPMENT IS INSTALLED.
SO, UM, I THINK IT WON'T BE LONG.
IN FACT, I THINK THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING ON A PLAN NOW.
SO MAYBE NEXT WEEK WE CAN START, UM, PUTTING SOME THINGS TOGETHER, RUNNING SOME CONDUIT.
AND WE GOT A SURPRISE, UM, TO, UH, THE TEXAS NEW MEXICO POWER.
THEY SET THE TRANSFORMER KIND OF, I GUESS THE ONLY WAY, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SAY IT, WHERE IT WAS CONVENIENT FOR THEM AND THAT'S WHY THEY WANTED, AND THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, BUT INSTEAD OF THEM RUNNING PRIMARY VOLTAGE, THE HIGH VOLTAGE ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE PUMP STATION, IT JUST GOES TO A TRANSFORMER.
AND SO WE'RE HAVING TO HAVE A CHANGE ORDER AND DO SOME THINGS DIFFERENT.
'CAUSE NOW WE HAVE TO RUN 480 VOLTS ALL THE WAY TO THE PUMP STATION AND IT'LL ALL WORK.
IT JUST WASN'T A PART OF THE PLAN, THE ORIGINAL PLAN, SO THAT BE GOOD.
UM, THEY BEGAN THE CONSTRUCTION ON 4 28 LIFT STATION OVER THERE BEHIND THE MIDDLE SCHOOL.
THEY SHOWED UP AND SCHOOL WAS OUT, YOU KNOW, AND SO I THINK THEY'VE ALREADY GOT A METER VAULT SET AND THEY'RE, THEY'RE DOING SOME WORK OVER THERE LIKE, LIKE, UM, LE LE, YOU KNOW, LENNAR AND THEIR STUFF.
THEY SHOWED UP AND THE FIRST TIME TRACTOR HIT THE GROUND, THEY DUG UP THE POWER LINE TO THE PUMP STATION.
UM, LET'S SEE, THE 4 28, WELL OVER THERE, IT BROKE DOWN, JUST WORKING ONE DAY.
AND SO WE HAD IT PULLED AND WE NEEDED A MOTOR.
WE JUST PUT A NEW MOTOR IN THERE AND IT WAS, THERE WAS A 70 HORSE MOTOR IN IT AND WE COULDN'T GET A 70 HORSE, I GUESS THEY QUIT MAKING, SO WE GOT A 75 HORSE AND PUT IT IN ITS PLACE AND IT'S DOING REALLY GOOD NOW.
I THINK WHEN IT WENT DOWN, IT WAS PUMPING ABOUT 170, 180 GALLONS A MINUTE, AND NOW IT'S PUMPING 2 10, 2 20, I THINK IT WAS TWO 17 THE OTHER DAY.
SO IT, IT'S ACTUALLY BETTER THAN IT WAS BEFORE IT WENT DOWN DOING GOOD MAGNOLIA.
WELL, UM, WE PULLED IT BECAUSE IT'S BEEN GRADUALLY DROPPING OFF.
I THINK IT GOT DOWN TO ABOUT 60 GALLONS A MINUTE.
IT WASN'T HARDLY PUMPING ANYTHING AND IT HASN'T BEEN EVIDENTLY WHAT IT'S BEEN IN THE PAST ANYWAY FOR A WHILE.
SO WE PULLED IT AND THEY RAN A CAMERA IN THERE AND THEY COULDN'T GET A CAMERA IN FOR ALL THE TAPE AND STUFF THAT WAS FLOATING AROUND.
SO WE HAD TO STOP, BLOW EVERYTHING OUT OF IT, THE WATER AND ALL THE TRASH.
AND WHEN THEY GOT A CAMERA IN THERE, WELL THE, IT'S GOT SCREENS AND I TOLD BAILEY WILL NEXT MONTH I'LL BRING SOME STEEL SHOTS OF WHAT THOSE SCREENS LOOK LIKE.
BUT THEY, UM, WERE ABOUT 80% PLUGGED UP WITH CALCIUM, JUST A LIMESTONE KIND OF, AND IT'S JUST FROM, IT JUST MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF GALLONS COME
[01:15:01]
THROUGH THAT THING FOR DECADES.AND THE MINERALS BUILD UP AND IT KIND SEALS OFF THE OPENINGS IN THE SPRING.
AND SO THEY HAVE ACIDIZED IT AND NOW THEY NEUTRALIZE THE ACID AND THEY'RE PUMPING IT OUT.
AND THE NEXT STEP IS TO TV IT AGAIN AND MAKE SURE, YOU KNOW, RUN THE CAMERA AND MAKE SURE IT'S CLEAN.
AND THEN WHEN THEY FEEL GOOD ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE WELL, THEN THIS TIME WE'RE GOING TO PUT A TEST PUMP IN IT AND ACTUALLY RUN IT.
WE CAN SPEED IT UP AND SLOW IT DOWN AND DETERMINE HOW MUCH WATER THAT WELL WILL PUMP.
AND THEN WE CAN PUT THE RIGHT PUMP AND MOTOR IN THERE WHEN WE GO BACK IN, HOPEFULLY IT'LL PUMP A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN 60 GALLONS A MINUTE.
UM, IT'S, I, I GUESS THERE'S A A, A LOT OF CALCULATIONS, A LOT A LOT OF MATH TO FIGURE, UM, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO STOP AT, WE GOTTA START AT THE BOTTOM AND MEAN THE LOW POINT.
WE GOTTA BUILD THE DETENTION POND FIRST AND DESIGN WHAT'S GONNA CATCH IT.
I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS TOO, IT'S BEEN A CONSIDERATION IS EVEN AFTER WE CATCH IT, EVENTUALLY IT'S GONNA OVERFLOW AND, UM, IT'S KIND OF A BOTTLENECK GOING UNDERNEATH THE RAILROAD TRACKS.
SO THEY'VE BEEN FLIP FLOP AND WE CAN'T MAKE THE OPENING TALLER, BUT MAYBE WE CAN ADD OPENINGS.
I, I DON'T KNOW, THEY'RE STILL WORKING ON THAT PART.
I THINK THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT 30% COMPLETE ON THAT, BUT NOT THE WHOLE PROJECT.
JUST 30% COMPLETE ON THE CATCH BASIN, THE LOWER PART OF IT.
AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO THAT, CONSTRUCT IT FIRST.
SO WHEN WE START BRINGING THE WATER DOWN OFF THE TOP OF THE HILL, THERE'LL BE SOMEWHERE FOR IT TO GO AND IT'LL BE ABLE TO HANDLE A HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD.
THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE DESIGNING FOR AS A HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD.
IT'S JUST A LOT OF HEAD SCRATCHING, FIGURING OUT, OKAY, WHAT'S THE RAILROAD GONNA ALLOW AND HOW BIG DOES POND NEED TO BE? SO, ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.
MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO ADD THAT WE HAD OUR GRADUATION LAST WEEK FOR OUR, UH, AUBREY CITIZENS UNIVERSITY AND I HAD A, AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF COMMENTS ABOUT OUR RESIDENT STORYTELLER.
THEY WERE REALLY EXCITED FOR HIM TO SPEAK AT HIS ON HIS NIGHT.
THEY HAD A LOT OF COMPLIMENT, THEY REALLY ENJOYED IT.
UM, JUST A QUICK UPDATE ON THE SPORTS COMPLEX.
UM, SO WE HAD A RFQ, UM, FOR A CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK.
UM, THAT WAS ACTUALLY DUE YESTERDAY, SO WE RECEIVED 21 CMR QUALIFICATION PACKAGES, SO A PRETTY GREAT RESPONSE TO THAT.
UM, SO THE NEXT FEW WEEKS WE WILL BE FURIOUSLY, UM, SCORING ALL THOSE PACKAGES AND, AND TRYING TO COME UP WITH A RECOMMENDATION TO PRESENT TO COUNCIL.
SO, UM, THE PLAN IS TO GET ALL THAT SCORED READY TO GO AND UM, HOPEFULLY GET THAT ON THE JUNE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA.
SO PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THAT AND GET THAT ROLLING.
UM, WE ARE STILL WORKING ON, UM, PRACTICE FIELDS.
UM, WE'VE KIND OF GOTTA DESIGN WHAT WE THINK COULD WORK.
UM, RIGHT NOW WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF QUOTES OUT TRYING TO GET SOME PRICING TO SEE EXACTLY HOW MUCH THAT IS GONNA COST US.
UM, SO WE ARE STILL WORKING ON THAT ASPECT, SO THANK YOU.
THAT EVERYBODY ALRIGHT, WELL THAT, UH, ANY FUTURE
