AND THIS IS A PARKS ITEM. I WAS TALKING WITH THE DIRECTOR YESTERDAY ABOUT THIS. THEY REALLY FEEL LIKE THIS IS GOING TO SAVE A LOT OF STAFF. TIME WOULD ALLOW THEM TO WORK ON OTHER ITEMS BECAUSE THIS WILL ROBOTICALLY GO IN AND TAKE ALL THE FIELD LINES. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO HAVE A PHOTO OF IT.

IT'S ABOUT THIS BIG. IT'S GOT WHEELS, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE A CREEPY CRAWLER THAT'S IN YOUR SWIMMING POOL. YEAH, I DON'T HAVE A POOL AND IT'S GOT A LITTLE ANTENNA ON IT. IT ONLY NEEDS. ANY QUESTIONS NOW TO. EXCEPT FOR RESPONDING TO THE EMAIL, BECAUSE I DID ASK WHAT WAS THE TRIGGER FOR BEING ON THE LIST SINCE IT WAS LESS THAN 50,000. THANK YOU. AND THAT JUST REMINDED ME. CITY COUNCIL MEMBER, THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT. THE CORRECT AMOUNT RIGHT IS $46,700, NOT $47,600. IT IS A TRANSPOSING, AND I THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP BECAUSE I DIDN'T SEE THE RESPONSE AND WAS THE REASON. THERE'S A SERIES OF THINGS, ONE OF WHICH IS IT'S A WE ARE DECLARING A CURRENT. IT'S ACTUALLY NOT THIS ONE. RIGHT. IT'S THE. 1000, $3,000. YES, THERE WAS A THERE WAS AN ONGOING MAINTENANCE FEE. I'M SORRY. THERE'S AN ONGOING MAINTENANCE FEE OF $3,900.

AND IT WAS CAN YOU, CAN YOU DEFINE WHAT INOPERABLE WOULD BE. THEY ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO RUN. THERE'S ISSUES WITH THE ENGINES. FUEL LINES. WE CAN'T OPERATE THE VEHICLES ANYMORE. WHAT'S THE WHAT'S THE DATE ON THE VEHICLES? THAT'S THE OTHER THING I DIDN'T SEE ON THERE. THE I BELIEVE ONE OF THEM IS A 2006. THE REST OF THEM ARE ALL POST 2010 AND THE STANDARD LIFE OR IS WHAT DO WE I BELIEVE I BELIEVE THE REPLACEMENT SCHEDULE IS TEN YEARS. YEAH TEN YEARS. THAT JUST GIVES ME SOME REFERENCE TO NO ONE BECAUSE IT'S LIKE WE'VE HAD THESE TRUCKS THAT HAVE BEEN INOPERABLE FOR HOW LONG AND SORRY, THEY'RE GETTING HEATED SEATS TOO. SO YEAH. COUNCIL MEMBER IF I COULD TOO, BECAUSE THE THERE'S ALSO A SERIES OF VEHICLES THAT PUBLIC WORKS HAS BEEN TRYING TO CLEAN UP THAT ARE IN THE YARD. AND I THINK THESE ARE SOME OF THOSE TOO. SO IT'S NOT.

[00:05:03]

OKAY. GOT OFF THE HOOK ON THAT ONE, BUT SHE'S RIGHT BACK. SHE'S RIGHT BACK ON THE BURNER WITH THE NEXT CITY COUNCIL CALENDAR. THANK YOU, MAYOR, AND I'M GOING TO REVIEW THE FEBRUARY CITY COUNCIL CALENDAR. THE FEBRUARY CALENDAR. WE HAVE THE CITY WORKSHOP, WHICH IS THE NEXT TUESDAY. AND THAT IS NO LONGER TENTATIVE. THAT IS A MEETING SCHEDULED FOR NEXT TUESDAY. THE SENIOR VALENTINE LUNCH ON THE THIRD ON THE 13TH, AND THE DADDY DAUGHTER DANCE AT THE RECREATION CENTER ON THE 15TH. WE ALSO HAVE COUNCIL HAS EOC TRAINING ON FEBRUARY THE 17TH THAT WILL BE AT THE FIRE AT THE FIRE STATION, AND THAT ONE IS AT 3:00. AND THEN WE HAVE THE BLACK HISTORY MONTH FIRESIDE CHAT, WHICH WILL BE AT THE SENIOR CENTER AT 11:00 ON FEBRUARY THE 20TH, AND COFFEE WITH THE MAYOR ON THE 27TH AT THE SENIOR CENTER, AND JUST ADDED THE NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING FOR DISTRICT TWO ON THE 27TH AT 630. WHAT TIME IS THE CIP PLAN FOLLOW UP WORKSHOP? WE HAVEN'T WE HAVEN'T ESTABLISHED THE TIME YET. WE HAVE A TIME FOR. THAT I DO NOT. WE HAVE ACTUALLY IDENTIFIED A TIME AS SIX WORK FOR EVERYBODY, WHICH IS ALMOST 6:00 AT 6:00. OKAY. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. SO. AND ON THE 27TH, I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT THE BUDGET. TOWN HALL IS NOT HAPPENING. YES. WE HAVE MOVED THAT TO I JUST SAW WHAT SHE MOVED IT TO MARCH THE 6TH. YES.

THAT THAT HAS BEEN MOVED. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE, MAYOR. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

WE'LL MOVE ON NOW TO ITEM THREE. BRIEFINGS AND PRESENTATIONS. CITY MANAGER. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MAYOR. SO THE FIRST BRIEFING COUNCIL RECEIVED TONIGHT IS ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN WORKING ON. CHIEF STOGNER. AND I'LL LET HIM INTRODUCE SOMEBODY WHO CERTAINLY IS NO STRANGER TO THIS ROOM. GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL MAYOR. SORRY, I'M GOING TO BE DRINKING SOME WATER. I GOT A LITTLE BIT OF A CONGESTION, SO TRYING TO MAKE THIS SOMEWHAT QUICK TO. YEAH. MY APOLOGIES. OBVIOUSLY, YOU GUYS KNOW WHO I AM AT MIKE WILSON AS WELL. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, BEING A NEW CHIEF IS, IS FINDING EFFICIENT OR MORE EFFICIENT WAYS TO, TO DO BUSINESS. AND MIKE CERTAINLY BROUGHT THIS TO OUR ATTENTION.

AND I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WILL CERTAINLY BENEFIT US AS AN AGENCY AS WELL AS THE CITIZENS AS A WHOLE, BECAUSE SOME OF THE MODULES THAT ARE PRESENTED IN THIS. SO IT'S ESSENTIALLY TICKETS ON THE GO. WHAT THAT IS, IS AN APP BASED SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS OUR OFFICERS TO ISSUE CITATIONS FROM THEIR CELL PHONES. AND EVERY OFFICER ON THE STREET HAS ISSUED A CITY CELL PHONE. THEY MAKE PHONE CALLS TO CITIZENS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE WHENEVER THEY'RE MAKING REPORTS. EXCUSE ME. IN ADDITION TO THAT, AND I'M GOING TO BE VERY QUICK ON THIS, SO BEAR WITH ME. IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE WOULD NO LONGER ISSUE SOMEONE A CITATION WE WOULD USE.

WHAT THEY HAVE IS CALLED A CRICKET. IT'S A QR CODE. WE HAVE A CERTAIN NUMBER WITH THE QR CODE. WE WOULD SCAN IT, SCAN THE QR CODE, WE WOULD HAND THEM A BUSINESS CARD WITH THAT QR CODE.

THE MODULE WITH THAT WILL ALLOW THE CITIZEN OR VIOLATOR TO MANAGE THEIR CITATION

[00:10:09]

OBVIOUSLY I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE PERCENTAGE IS ON THE RESPONSE, BUT IT'S FAIRLY GOOD. GOOD ENOUGH FOR US TO REALLY BUY INTO THIS SYSTEM. SO I'LL ALLOW HIM TO KIND OF GET INTO THAT MORE.

AND SO MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I TOOK ON THIS INITIATIVE A LITTLE BIT BEFORE I STARTED TO RETIRE, BECAUSE I WAS IN THE SHOES OF TRYING TO RIGHT SIZE TECHNOLOGY NEEDS FOR POLICE DEPARTMENT, HAVING TO MAKE THOSE TOUGH CHOICES. SO WE WANTED TO CREATE A PLATFORM THAT COULD BE RIGHT SIZED FOR ANY CITY BASED ON WHAT THEIR FINANCIAL RESOURCES ARE. SO WE CREATED THIS. A COUPLE HIGHLIGHTS ABOUT HOW THE TICKET ON THE GO PLATFORM OPERATES, ITS OPERATING SYSTEM AND IT'S HARDWARE AGNOSTIC, MEANING IT OPERATES ON ANY OPERATING SYSTEM AND ANY DEVICE TO INCLUDE TABLETS, LAPTOPS, ETC. MOBILE DEVICES. OR IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE TO SPEND ON THE EXPENSIVE INFRARED HANDHELD DEVICES, YOU CAN DO THAT TOO. SECOND IS HOW NOT ONLY THE CITATION CAN BE DELIVERED, YOU CAN PRINT IT AS YOU TRADITIONALLY DO. WE'VE GOT THE SMART QR CODE THAT MEETS ALL OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE AG'S OFFICE. THE DIFFERENCE WITH THIS IS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO PURCHASE PRINTERS. YOU DON'T HAVE TO MAINTAIN THERMAL PAPER WITH THAT. BUT WE GO A STEP FURTHER, AND IT'S NOT THE PRIME WAY TO DELIVER. BUT IF THE VIOLATOR PROVIDES A CELL PHONE NUMBER OR AN EMAIL, THEY'LL RECEIVE ALSO A TEXT COPY. SO THAT WASN'T ENOUGH WITH ME BEING BEST PRACTICES IN CALI. AS A CHIEF, I GOT TIRED OF HAVING TO CONSISTENTLY SPEND A LOT OF MAN HOURS EVERY TWO YEARS COMPLETING OUR COMMUNITY SURVEY FOR PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT STANDARDS. SO WE CREATED A REVIEW, THE BLUE. NOW, THIS IS A PRETTY COOL TOOL BECAUSE WE BUILT IN SOME NEUROSCIENCE PRINCIPLES. THE SURVEY DOESN'T IMMEDIATELY GO OUT. THERE'S A REASON WHY WE ALLOW A COUPLE SLEEP CYCLES. IT'S SO THAT THE VIOLATOR IS LESS FOCUSED ON THE OUTCOME, AND THEY CAN FOCUS MORE ON WHAT THE INTERACTION WAS. SO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAD OR THE CLIENT HAS FULL ACCESS OF CREATING THE QUESTIONS THAT YOU WANT TO POST TO YOUR COMMUNITY. WE DO HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS BUILT IN THAT ARE BUILT AROUND CLEAR STANDARDS AND TEXAS. BEST PRACTICE. YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO USE THOSE AND YOU JUST FLIP ON AND OFF WHICH QUESTIONS YOU WANT TO USE. WE'RE GETTING ABOUT A 26% RESPONSE RATE, WHICH IS PHENOMENAL FOR A DIGITAL ONLINE. THE LINK CAN ONLY BE USED ONCE, SO A PERSON CAN'T RECEIVE THE LINK AND SHARE IT WITH 20 OF THEIR BEST FRIENDS. IT'S SMART IN THAT WAY, AND ONCE THE SURVEY IS COMPLETED, THAT LINK IS COMING. IT'S DESIGNED TO BE ANONYMOUS IN NATURE BECAUSE WE WANT TO DRIVE THAT PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY COMPONENT. BUT WHAT WE'RE FINDING IS BETTER THAN 60% OF PEOPLE ARE IDENTIFYING THEMSELVES, AND THEY'RE ALSO LEAVING COMMENTS. A FEW WEEKS AGO, WE HAD THE HONOR OF PRESENTING OFFICER RAMIREZ AND WEATHERFORD ON THE PUBLIC APPRECIATION AWARD, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT WE SPONSOR FOR ALL OF OUR AGENCIES THAT ENGAGE IT, BECAUSE WHAT WE'VE SEEN IS THAT HER WEIGHTED RESPONSE WAS PHENOMENAL. AND YOU START READING THE COMMENTS, AND THEN THE OFFICERS START HEARING THOSE COMMENTS, COMING BACK TO THEM, WHERE A LOT OF AGENCIES WERE TERRIFIED AT FIRST. WE'RE SEEING MORE COMMENDATIONS BECAUSE CITIZENS, IT ONLY TAKES ABOUT 30S TO DO THIS. AND THEY MIGHT BE THINKING, HEY, I WANT TO CALL AND COMMEND THAT OFFICER, OR I WANT TO SEND AN EMAIL, BUT LIFE GETS IN THE WAY WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR CELL PHONE. THEY'RE ABLE TO DO IT. SO THE OFFICERS REALLY APPRECIATED IT. AND WHAT'S COOL IS THAT THAT ROOM WAS FULL OF ALL OF HER COUNTERPARTS APPLAUDING, AND AS WELL AS PEOPLE FROM NEIGHBORING AGENCIES. SO REVIEW THE BLUE BREAKS IT DOWN BY RACE, GENDER,

[00:15:02]

I HAVE A QUESTION. WHAT ABOUT CITATIONS? NORMALLY THE CITATION IS EITHER SIGNED AT THE TIME OF STOP, AND IF THEY DON'T SHOW UP IN COURT, THEN I ISSUE A WARRANT FOR THEIR ARREST. HOW IS THAT GOING TO WORK WITH THIS? SO THEY SIGN ON THE DEVICE AND THAT'S IN THAT'S CAPTURED. AND IF YOU PRINT OR THROUGH THE PDF, YOU HAVE THE SIGNATURE CAPTURED. SO THEY'RE THE COPY THAT GETS PUSHED TO THE COURTS IS ASSIGNED AS A SIGNED COPY. AND DEPENDING ON WHAT THE CONFIGURATION IS AND WHAT THE PROCEDURES ARE, THERE IS AN OPTION. IF YOU'RE LIKE, OKAY, WELL, WE'RE JUST GOING TO HANDLE EVERYTHING HERE AND SAY THE CAR CAR WINDOW OR WE HAVE AN AGENCY THAT IS STILL PRINTING, BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO WALK BACK TO THE CAR. SO THEY'LL ISSUE AND THEY'LL HAVE THE CITATION PRESENTED. BUT THERE'S A SIGNED COPY THAT PUSHES TO THE COURT. ONE OF THE THINGS WE NEED TO TALK TO JUDGE RIZZO, BECAUSE HE'S THE ONE THAT'S GOING TO ISSUE THE WARRANT, AND HE HAS GOT TO BE HAPPY WITH IT. YEAH, SO IT COMPLIES, JUST LIKE YOU WOULD HANDWRITE A CITATION RIGHT NOW. SO YOU STILL HAVE THE SIGNATURE EVEN WITH THE QR CODE. THE AG RECENTLY RULED ON? NO, I DON'T SIGN AS WELL WITH MY. FINGER. IT'S LIKE, WELL, EVEN WITH THE QR CODE, THE AG RULED IN CERTAIN COMPONENTS THAT HAVE TO BE ON THE QR CODE. OUR AG. YEAH. SO IT MEETS ALL OF THOSE STANDARDS. AWESOME. JUST SO COUNCIL KNOWS, WE BROUGHT THE JUDGES IN AS WELL AS THE COURT STAFF AS WELL AS THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS CODE ENFORCEMENT. WE'VE ALL ALREADY REVIEWED THIS. SO WHAT I'LL COVER JUST REAL QUICK BECAUSE WE'RE PARTNER KIND OF A PARTNER RESELLER FOR THIS PIECE, WHICH IS SPECIFICALLY FOR COURTS. WE DID HAVE A QUESTION AS WELL. SO WHAT IF SOMEBODY DOESN'T HAVE A PHONE OR THEY DON'T HAVE A COMPUTER? OR HOW HOW IS THAT YOU DEFAULT TO THE OLD SCHOOL. SO WHAT WE RECOMMEND IS THAT YOU DON'T GET RID OF ALL YOUR THERMAL PRINTERS. AND WE HAVE ONE AGENCY, WESLACO, AS AN EXAMPLE. THEIR SUPERVISORS CARRY A THERMAL BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE PAPERLESS. SO WHEN THEY RUN INTO THOSE INSTANCES THEY'LL ACTUALLY PRESENT A PRINTED CITATION. JUST AS YOU DO NOW WITH BRAZOS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE APPLICATION OR THE SURVEY YOU MENTIONED? CODE ENFORCEMENT? YES. THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO COVER. AND I JUMPED FORWARD A LITTLE BIT. SO THIS IS ESSENTIALLY WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ONCE YOU PULL IT UP ON YOUR PHONE. SO WHAT WE DON'T HAVE NOW IS THE ABILITY. WELL, I'LL, I'LL GO BACK FURTHER. WE CAN ONLY DO THIS WITH OUR CURRENT SYSTEM. WE CAN ONLY ISSUE A CITATION, WHEREAS THIS ALLOWS US SO MUCH MORE TO DO. AND THEN THE MORE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE IN THIS SYSTEM, THE BETTER OUR INVESTIGATIONS BECOME. OUR FOLLOW UPS BECOME OUR ENFORCEMENT, WHATEVER IT YOU KNOW, WHATEVER WE CAN HAVE. I'M A VERY DATA DRIVEN PERSON, AND THIS WILL PROVIDE US THAT DATA TO USE FOR ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS. RIGHT. SO WE'VE SPOKEN WITH CODE CODE ENFORCEMENT AND WHAT SEPARATES US FROM THE OTHER TECH COMPANIES THAT ARE OPERATING IN THE SPACE IS THAT WE HAVE CUSTOM CONFIGURATION. SO WE BUILD IN THE WORKFLOW OF THE RESPECTIVE UNIT OR EVEN THE PD AND HOW THEY DO THEIR JOB INTO THEIR APPLICATION. SO HERE THE PREFERENCE IS TO SEND LIKE A NOTICE ONE, A NOTICE TWO, AND THEN A CITATION. AND THERE'S REALLY NO WAY TO ALERT WHAT YOU'RE HITTING THAT PRESCRIBED TIME PERIOD. SO WITHIN THIS SYSTEM IT'S GOING TO PROVIDE THAT THAT ALERT SO THAT THEY'RE NOT MISSING THOSE TIME POINTS ON THE BACK END AS WELL AS WITH AN ANIMAL SERVICE. IT ALLOWS THEM TO MOVE AWAY FROM HANDWRITING AND MOVE TO A DIGITAL PLATFORM AS WELL. THE BACK END, WHICH IS THE DASHBOARD, IS EXTREMELY ROBUST BECAUSE IT INCLUDES ALL OF THE DATA THAT WE COLLECT THROUGH THE APPLICATION IS SEARCHABLE. IT'S SEARCHABLE IN A VERY EASY WAY. IT PROVIDES A HEAT MAP, SO IF YOU WANT TO BREAK IT DOWN INTO ZONES OR DISTRICTS OR THINGS LIKE THAT, IT GIVES YOU THAT VISUAL OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE CITY. IT'S ALSO IT ALSO PROVIDES AN INVESTIGATIVE COMPONENT BECAUSE IT LETS THE OFFICERS, YOU KNOW, SEARCH BY A VEHICLE TYPE. AND IF THEY JUST HAVE A FIRST NAME, WELL, IT'S GOING TO BRING UP ALL THOSE INTERACTIONS. AND DEPENDING ON THE AGENCIES THAT ARE ON THE PLATFORM, THERE'S ALSO A SHARING OF INFORMATION COMPONENT WITH THAT AS WELL. SO QUICK QUESTION BECAUSE I'M LOOKING AT IT SAYS SCAN DRIVER'S LICENSE AND REGISTRATION STICKERS. AND FOR SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT DON'T HAVE DRIVER'S LICENSE THAT ARE OUT THERE DRIVING. SO WHAT DOES THAT WELL, THEN THAT BECOMES A MANUAL, RIGHT? A MANUAL ENTRY AS YOU WOULD HAVE

[00:20:05]

THERE'S JUST SOMETHING ABOUT GETTING A TEXT WEEKLY TO REMIND YOU. AND THEN THAT MESSAGE CHANGES WHEN IT GOES TO WARRANT, SAY, HEY, YOU COULD BE ARRESTED FOR IT. WE'RE THERE. THEY'RE JUMPING ON. SO THIS SYSTEM, LIKE I SAID, IS CURRENTLY IN SAN ANTONIO. AND THEN THE OTHER TICKET APPLICATION IS IN FINAL REVIEW IN SAN ANTONIO AND A FEW OTHER PLACES. WOULD. YES, SIR.

DID YOU HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR PHONE NUMBER? WELL, THEN IT JUST GOES OLD SCHOOL. I MEAN, BECAUSE IF YOU'RE NOT GETTING THOSE RESPONSES, A WARRANT IS STILL ACTIVE. YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN PROVE THAT YOU RECEIVED THE CITATION. SO IT JUST FOLLOW THE STANDARD PROTOCOL THAT YOU USE.

NOW YOU ONLY HAVE THE SAME CALL. WELL, NO THE COURT THE COURT DATE IS AUTOMATICALLY CALCULATED AROUND THE COURT RULES, AND IT'S PROVIDED TO THEM AT THE TIME OF THE CITATION. SO THE OFFICER DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO THINK ABOUT WHEN THE COURT. TICKET ANYMORE. WELL, THEY WOULD HAVE EITHER THE CRICKET IS WHAT WE CALL IT, OR THEY WOULD HAVE THE HARD COPY CITATION THAT WAS PRINTED. YES, SIR. IT'S REAL INTERESTING ON THE REVIEW. THAT'S THAT SOUNDS KIND OF GOOD. A LOT OF INFORMATION FROM THAT. AND IF WE DO THIS, AM I GOING TO START HEARING FROM PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, I GOT THIS TICKET AND THE OFFICER SAID PLEASE GIVE ME A GOOD REVIEW. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT THEY WOULD SOLICIT AT ALL? ARE THEY GOING TO KNOW BECAUSE IT'S COMING FROM THEM? NO, BECAUSE IT'S DESIGNED TO BE ANONYMOUS. SO FOR THEM TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES, THEY ACTUALLY HAVE TO CLICK A BOX AND OPT TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES. THEY'RE NOT TOLD THAT THAT'S COMING. THE REVIEW AT ANY POINT THAT'LL JUST SHOW UP. YES, SIR. AND ALONG THE SAME LINES, DO YOU HAVE A PHONE? AND WHAT MAKES THIS IDENTIFIER, WHAT KEEPS IT FROM BEING HACKED OR WHAT KEEPS IT SAFE FOR, YOU KNOW, IF HE RECEIVES A TICKET, IF YOU RECEIVED, ARE YOU TALKING THE CITIZEN SIDE OR OUR SIDE? WELL, SO THE CRICKET TECH, YOU KNOW, THAT'S HANDLED JUST LIKE ANY OTHER CITATION WOULD BE HANDLED IF THEY THROW IT OUT THE WINDOW, JUST LIKE A STANDARD CITATION, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE ACCESS TO WHATEVER THE INFORMATION IS. AS FAR AS THE TEXT MESSAGE THAT COMES THROUGH, THERE'S REALLY NO IDENTIFIERS BECAUSE EVEN TO ACCESS THIS, THEY HAVE TO ENTER CERTAIN

[00:25:02]

THAT'S GREAT. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OH, HERE. HE'S WAITING FOR ME TO LEAVE, I THINK. I GET IT. THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU. PLEASE, Y'ALL, Y'ALL KNOW WHERE TO FIND ME. IF YOU DO HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS BETWEEN NOW AND THE NEXT MEETING. MAYOR, IF I, IF I JUST KICK WHILE WE'RE ON. THE POLICE CHIEF WENT AROUND THE OTHER WAY. THEY WERE GOING TO PUT IT OUT FRONT, BUT WITH THE START OF THE MEETING, START TIME AND THERE WAS CARS PARKED OUT FRONT, OUR BRAND NEW CHARGER THAT'S JUST BEEN OUTFITTED. IT'S ACTUALLY SITTING IN ONE OF THE VERY FIRST PARKING PLACES OUT THERE. SO WHEN YOU LEAVE, YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THAT REALLY SHARP CAR.

THANK YOU SIR. ALL RIGHT. SECOND PRESENTATION. YES, MAYOR. SO THE SECOND PRESENTATION IS WITH OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, AND I'LL LET THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, MATT BRYANT. HELLO, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR HAVING US TONIGHT. I HAVE ANDY FUENTES WITH ASTAIRE USA. SO HE'S GOING TO GIVE YOU A PRESENTATION ON SOME OF THE SERVICES HE CAN PROVIDE AS FAR AS SATELLITE IMAGERY LEAK DETECTION, WHICH IS GOING TO GO A LONG WAY IN US SOLVING OUR LEAKS AND LOSING REVENUE. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCIL MAYOR. THANK YOU GUYS FOR HAVING ME. IT'S MY FIRST TIME EVER DOING THIS IN PERSON. TYPICALLY I'M DOING THIS THROUGH THE TELEVISION, SO IT'S NICE TO ACTUALLY BE IN PERSON AND MEET YOU ALL. MY NAME IS ANDY FUENTES. I'M A SALES REPRESENTATIVE AT ASTERA. WHEN I FIRST CAME ON, I WAS ACTUALLY FOCUSED ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS DATA. I'VE SINCE GONE FROM THE TECHNICAL SIDE TO THE COMMERCIAL SIDE, WHICH IS WHY I'M HERE TODAY, SPEAKING IN FRONT OF YOU ALL. SO WE'RE GOING TO DO A LITTLE BIT OF A DEEP DIVE TODAY ON OUR SATELLITE BASED WATER LOSS MANAGEMENT SOLUTION, WHICH IS DATA THAT WE'RE PROVIDING YOU ALL BASED ON THE USE OF SATELLITES. SO A LITTLE DEEP DIVE INTO A STARE BEFORE WE GET STARTED. WE'RE AN EARTH OBSERVATION COMPANY THAT WAS FOUNDED IN 2013. WE LAUNCHED OUR FIRST COMMERCIAL PRODUCT IN 2016. AND A LITTLE FUN FACT ABOUT US IS THAT OUR TECHNOLOGY WAS FIRST USED TO LOCATE SUBSURFACE WATER ON MARS. OUR CHIEF TECHNICAL OFFICER AND CO-FOUNDER, LAUREN GUY, WAS PART OF THE PROJECT WITH NASA TO LOCATE WATER ON MARS. HE WAS SO SUCCESSFUL IN DOING SO, THEY ACTUALLY LOCATED WATER 5000FT, 5000FT BENEATH THE MARTIAN SURFACE. AND SO WE'RE USING THAT SAME TECHNOLOGY HERE ON EARTH.

HE THOUGHT TO HIMSELF. YOU KNOW, VALUABLE INSIGHTS. WE CAN HELP WATER UTILITIES SUCH AS YOURSELVES, THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE ADDRESS WATER LOSS. ADDITIONALLY, WITH THE INAUGURAL WWE INNOVATION AWARD WINNER, WHICH WAS GIVEN OUT IN 2021, WE DO PRIDE OURSELVES HIGHLY ON THAT BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST TIME IT WAS EVER GIVEN OUT AND HAD BEEN GIVEN THAT OUT EVER SINCE THEN. SO THIS SLIDE IS VERY NEAT BECAUSE IT SHOWS YOU THE IMPACT BY OUR NUMBERS. AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN HERE, WE'VE WORKED IN OVER 64 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. WE HAVE OVER 900 PROJECTS AND HAVE HELPED VERIFY OVER 130,000 LEAKS. AMONGST THOSE 130,000 LEAKS, WE SAVE THE WORLD OVER 434 BILLION GALLONS OF WATER. TO PUT THAT INTO PERSPECTIVE, THAT'S ROUGHLY ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF WATER THAT FLOWS OVER NIAGARA FALLS IN A WEEK. SO THESE ARE OUR WHAT THE NUMBERS LOOK LIKE HERE IN TEXAS. SO COMPARED TO THE TRADITIONAL ACOUSTIC LEAK DETECTION METHOD CREWS ARE FINDING EXCUSE ME, THE TRADITIONAL ACOUSTIC LEAK DETECTION METHOD IS YIELDING ABOUT 0.3 LEAKS FOUND PER MILE. AGAIN, ONCE OUR DATA IS IMPLEMENTED WE ARE PUSHING EFFICIENCY HERE. ONCE OUR OUR OUR DATA IS IMPLEMENTED UTILIZING THE ASTEROID GUIDED APPROACH IN TEXAS ALONE, THOSE SAME CREWS, THOSE SAME TEAMS WITH THE SAME TECHNOLOGY ARE NOW FINDING UP TO 1.72 LEAKS PER MILE, WHICH IS A 473% INCREASE.

AS FOR LEAKS FOUND PER CREW DAY, THE TRADITIONAL UNGUIDED APPROACH ESSENTIALLY KNOWING YOU HAVE LEAKS IN YOUR SYSTEM, NOT KNOWING WHERE THEY'RE AT, NOT KNOWING WHERE TO FOCUS YOUR EFFORTS. CREWS ARE FINDING ABOUT 1.3 LEAKS PER CREW DAY. AGAIN, THAT UNGUIDED APPROACH WITH OUR TECHNOLOGY IN PLACE, THOSE SAME CREWS, SAME TEAMS, SAME TECHNOLOGY ARE FINDING 4.27

[00:30:02]

SO THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE'D BE DELIVERING TO MATT AND HIS TEAM, ESSENTIALLY FROM 400 MILES UP IN SPACE, 17,500 MILES AN HOUR, WE CAN GET IT DOWN TO ABOUT A TWO AND A HALF BLOCK RADIUS FOR INVESTIGATION. NOW, EVERYTHING YOU SEE HERE IN YELLOW IS WHERE WE'VE SEEN SOIL SATURATING YOUR PIPES. SO THIS IS WHERE MATT AND HIS TEAM WILL SEND OUT A LEAK DETECTORS FOR THAT INVESTIGATION TO MARK THEIR POINTS OUT IN THE FIELD FOR REPAIRS. NOW, WATER DISTRIBUTION. IT'S A LIVING SYSTEM. THIS IS A NEAT SLIDE BECAUSE IT SHOWS THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S A LIVING SYSTEM. THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE WATER BEING PRODUCED. AND THROUGHOUT THE THROUGHOUT TIME, THE NEW FORMATION OF LEAKS ARE ALWAYS GOING TO ARISE WHEN YOU IMPLEMENT SOME SORT OF LEAK DETECTION PROGRAM, WHETHER THAT'S THE REACTIVE APPROACH.

SOMEBODY CALLED IN AND SAID, HEY, WE FOUND A LEAK HERE ON ON MAIN STREET. YOU GO OUT THERE AND MAKE THOSE REPAIRS, YOU'RE GOING TO BRING THAT THAT NUMBER AND THAT GRAPH A LITTLE BIT DOWN. WHEN YOU IMPLEMENT OUR SATELLITE GUIDED APPROACH FOR INCREASED EFFICIENCY, WE START TO SEE THAT GRAPH START TO TREND IN THE OTHER DIRECTION. ESSENTIALLY WHAT I'M SAYING IS THE REACTIVE APPROACH IS NOT ENOUGH TO HELP COMBAT YOUR WATER LOSS. NOW AGAIN THE NAME OF THE GAME HERE IS EFFICIENCY. SO WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS MAKING YOUR FIELD INVESTIGATION THAT MUCH SMALLER. LET'S SUPPOSE THE CITY OF DENVER HAS 250 MILES OF PIPE. IN ORDER TO DO A FULL INVESTIGATION ON THE ENTIRETY OF YOUR WATER SYSTEM, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SEND TEAMS OUT THERE TO INVESTIGATE ALL 250 MILES OF PIPE. THEY'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING ON THE HYDRANTS, THE VALVES, THE EVERY ACCESS POINT POSSIBLE. NOW, WITH THE ASTEROID GUIDED APPROACH, WHAT WE DO IS WE IN ANY INDIVIDUAL SCAN, WE HIGHLIGHT 5 TO 15% OF YOUR ENTIRE WATER UTILITY WITH POINTS OF INTEREST. SO NOW INSTEAD OF HAVING TO INVESTIGATE 250 MILES OF PIPE, WE'RE NOW LOOKING AT ABOUT 2525 MILES OF PIPE. AND WE'RE GIVING THOSE TEAMS IN THE FIELD THAT MUCH MORE CONFIDENCE THAT WHEN THEY'RE OUT IN THE FIELD, THAT THEY WILL FIND SOMETHING. ONCE OUR DATA IS PUT INTO PRACTICE. NOW, YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING, HOW IS ALL OF THIS DELIVERED? WE'RE NOT JUST GOING TO SEND YOU ALL A FILE AND SAY, GOOD LUCK. AS PART OF ALL OF OUR PROJECTS, YOU GET ACCESS TO OUR EO DISCOVER 2.0 WORKSPACE, WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO TRACK THE INFORMATION AND THE DATA THAT WE ARE PROVIDING YOU AS THE TEAM IS OUT THERE IN THE FIELD DOING THEIR INVESTIGATIONS, THEY MARK

[00:35:01]

ADDITIONALLY, IT'S GOING TO IT'S GOING TO TRACK ALL YOUR INFORMATION. WE GET YOUR WE FIND OUT YOUR COST OF WATER PRODUCTION. SO WE TURN THIS ESSENTIALLY WE LIKE TO TURN THIS INTO A GAME SO THAT YOU GUYS HAVE AN IDEA OF HOW MANY LEAKS YOU GUYS NEED TO INVESTIGATE IN ORDER TO GET YOUR RETURN ON INVESTMENT. AND THE PLATFORM DOES ALL THIS INFORMATION, DOES ALL THIS TRACKING FOR YOU. YOU'RE GOING TO GET ACCESS TO A MEMBER OF OUR TEAM IS GOING TO HELP TRACK ALL THIS INFORMATION FOR YOU ALL TO GET YOUR QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT. TYPICALLY, WE SEE THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT WITHIN THE FIRST 2 TO 8 MONTHS. THERE'S JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THE ON THE ON THE PLATFORM. AGAIN, WE INPUT YOUR SYSTEM SPECIFIC METRICS TO BE AS SPECIFIC TO THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE AS POSSIBLE. SO NOW BENEFITS BEYOND BOUNDARIES. WHY AM I HERE SPEAKING IN FRONT OF YOU ALL TODAY? WE'RE HERE BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO ENHANCE YOUR NETWORK VISIBILITY. INSTEAD OF HAVING TO GO INVESTIGATE YOUR ENTIRE WATER SYSTEM, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THAT FIELD THAT MUCH MORE SPECIFIC FOR THOSE LEAK DETECTORS TO FOCUS THEIR EFFORTS. WE'RE GOING TO IMPROVE YOUR YOUR YOUR TEAM'S OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY. AGAIN IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. WE'VE UPPED THIS BY UP TO 400% INCREASED EFFICIENCIES. AND WE'RE GOING TO PROVIDE YOU WITH INFORMED DECISION MAKING. THE DATA THAT WE PROVIDE YOU, THE MORE WE SCAN, THE MORE WE LEARN, THE MORE DATA YOU HAVE TO ACTION ON. AND AGAIN, THE PLATFORM IS THERE FOR ALL OF YOU GUYS TO TRACK THAT INFORMATION. NOW, THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE IS GOING FORWARD WITH THE PREVENT PACKAGE, WHICH IS OUR MOST SOUGHT AFTER PACKAGE AND INCLUDES TWO SCANS AND ANALYSIS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. AND AGAIN, THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHY ONGOING MONITORING MATTERS IN ONE SATELLITE SCAN. THIS IS ROUGHLY WHERE WE'RE GOING TO SEE. THE MORE WE SCAN, THE MORE WE LEARN, THE MORE POINTS OF INTEREST ARE GOING TO APPEAR, THE MORE DATA YOU HAVE TO ACTION ON. AND THAT JUST ABOUT SUMS IT UP, FOLKS. OKAY, YES, I KNOW YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT. SO IT'S NOT IT'S NOT PINPOINT ACCURACY, BUT IT GETS YOU WITHIN AN AREA AS YOU SHOWED IN THAT ONE SLIDE. CORRECT. WHERE THEN MATT'S TEAM CAN GO OUT AND START TO INVESTIGATE THAT AREA. EXACTLY. RIGHT. SO ONCE YOU'VE IDENTIFIED AN AREA LIKE THAT, YOU'RE EXTREMELY CONFIDENT THAT YOU'VE IDENTIFIED WATER. THAT IS PART OF OUR WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM BECAUSE OF YOUR ABILITY TO SEE THE CHEMICALS IN THAT WATER. CORRECT. THEN GOING FROM THERE, WHAT IS YOUR MEASURABLE SUCCESS RATE. AND I KNOW PART OF THIS IS GOING TO BE MATT'S TEAM ABILITY TO LOCATE IT. BUT WHAT'S THE SUCCESS RATE? WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT THAT WHEN THEY GO OUT THERE? HOW MANY TIMES OUT OF 100 ARE THEY GOING TO FIND A WATER LEAK? IF THEY'RE USING THE MOST UP TO DATE EQUIPMENT THAT THEY HAVE? GREAT QUESTION. ONE OF MY FAVORITE QUESTIONS, ACTUALLY, WHEN WE HIGHLIGHT A POINT OF INTEREST, WE HAVE A 90% CONFIDENCE LEVEL THAT THERE IS A LEAK THERE. AGAIN, IT IS UP TO MATT AND HIS TEAM AND THE TECHNOLOGY THAT THEY HAVE TO ACTUALLY GO PINPOINT THAT THERE'S MULTIPLE DIFFERENT VARIABLES THAT ARE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. FOR EXAMPLE, A LOT OF THE WORK THAT IS DONE ON THE INVESTIGATIONS IS BASED OFF OF ACOUSTIC LEAK DETECTION. SO IF WE'RE INVESTIGATING ON A DUCTILE IRON PIPE, AS OPPOSED TO A PVC PIPE, WHICH DOESN'T RESONATE AS WELL AS SOUND, LET'S JUST SAY IT'S ON ON MAIN STREET AT THE HEAVIEST TIME OF THE YEAR. IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT TO PHYSICALLY AND LISTEN TO THAT SOUND. SO IT VERY IS DEPENDENT ON THE TEAM AND THE TIME OF DAY AND THE TYPE OF MATERIAL. BUT AGAIN, FOR US AND THE ANALYSIS THAT WE'RE PROVIDING, WE HAVE A 90% CONFIDENCE LEVEL THAT THERE IS A LEAK THERE. I'D ALSO LIKE TO ADD THAT PART OF THE SERVICES THEY OFFER IS THE BOOTS ON THE GROUND ACOUSTIC INVESTIGATION, WHICH I CAN SAFELY ASSUME THAT OUR TEAM IS GOING TO BE INUNDATED WITH FIXING THESE LEAKS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH SO THEY CAN PROVIDE A SERVICE WHERE THEY COME TO US AND SAY, DIG UP THIS, YOU KNOW, SMALL AREA. IT'S RIGHT HERE, AND THEY CAN PROVIDE US WITH THAT INFORMATION. WELL, I'D LIKE TO HEAR THAT YOU HAVE A SUCCESS RATE WITH THE DUCTILE IRON AND OTHER PRODUCTS. SO SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM WITH ASBESTOS WATER LINES. THEY'RE, THEY'RE THEY'RE LOOKING FOR WATER NOT NOT MATERIALS. SO BUT BUT THEY CAN SEE THROUGH IT EASIER. ALL RIGHT. JUST A POINT I HAVE TO MAKE. GREAT QUESTION BY THE WAY. SO HOW WOULD YOU QUANTIFY THE THIS HOW MUCH MORE EFFICIENT THIS WOULD MAKE WHEN YOUR TEAM AND WHAT YOU ALL ARE DOING. SO KIND OF LIKE HE ALLUDED TO INSTEAD OF GOING BACK AND TRYING TO NAVIGATE WHERE OUR LEAKS ARE SYSTEM WIDE, THIS IS GOING TO PROVIDE US WITH WITH MUCH SMALLER AREAS THAT WE CAN FOCUS ON. AND AGAIN, DETERMINING THE LEVEL OF SERVICE WE CHOOSE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH. IF YOU ALL APPROVE THIS, WHICH WE'RE NOT APPROVING ANYTHING TONIGHT, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO DISPATCH CREWS IMMEDIATELY TO SPECIFIC AREAS AND GET THE LEAKS TAKEN CARE OF, WHICH KNOWING DUNCANVILLE AND KNOWING HOW MUCH ROCK IS IN DUNCANVILLE, I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED TO FIND LEAKS THAT WE HAD NO IDEA EVER EXISTED. JUST ONE OTHER QUICK QUESTION IN THAT REGARD. RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE ALMOST DEPENDENT ON HAVING WATER SHOW

[00:40:08]

YEAH. I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND SOMETHING FROM THE LAST SLIDE. YOU I THINK YOU SAID THERE WOULD BE TWO SCANS A YEAR. THAT'S THAT'S CORRECT. THAT'S THE PREVENT PACKAGE INCLUDES TWO SCANS AND ANALYSIS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. OKAY. AND EARLIER ON, I THINK THAT YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT IF THEY'RE PROVIDED WITH 15% OF AN AREA AT A TIME. SO BASED ON THOSE TWO SCANS, ONE IN JANUARY, ONE IN JUNE, THEY WOULD GET PERIODICALLY DIFFERENT PARTS TO LOOK AT OR 15%. AND HOW DOES THAT WORK OUT. YEAH. SO THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE NEW FORMATION OF LEAKS. SO IN ANY INDIVIDUAL SCAN, YOU KNOW WE'RE SEEING ABOUT 5 TO 15% OF THE ACTIVE LEAKS OCCURRING IN YOUR SYSTEM.

THAT'S JUST IN ONE SCAN. WE TAKE ANOTHER SCAN. WE MIGHT BE SEEING MORE THAT WE MISSED THE FIRST HALF OR A NEW FORMATION OF LEAKS, BUT IT TENDS TO BE AROUND 5 TO 15% OF THE TOTAL LINEAR MILEAGE OF PIPE. OKAY, OKAY. AND THEN YOU SAID THE RETURN ON THE INVESTMENT USUALLY IS 8 TO 10 MONTHS. TYPICALLY WE'VE SEEN WE'VE SEEN SOME AS LOW AS TWO. BUT WE LIKE TO SAY AROUND THE 8 TO 10 MONTHS. CORRECT. WE HAVE A COST ESTIMATE FOR THIS FOR THE YEAR. WE DO AND IT'S WITHIN BUDGET. I DON'T KNOW IF WE WANT TO TALK PRICING OUT LOUD, BUT YES, WE DO. WE HAVE. THAT'S WHAT I TELL MY HUSBAND. YES, SIR. WOULD YOU TELL ME WHAT OTHER CITIES YOU'RE DOING THIS FOR AS WELL? ABSOLUTELY. WE ACTUALLY THIS IS PART OF A DFW INITIATIVE THAT WE JUST KICKED OFF. WE JUST FINISHED CLOSING DEALS WITH THE CITY OF ARLINGTON, THE CITY OF MANSFIELD, CITY OF BURLESON, JOHNSON COUNTY SPECIAL UTILITY DISTRICT. I THINK THAT'S OR AT LEAST ALL WITHIN THE LAST MONTH OR SO. BUT WE'VE GOT GREAT PROJECTS WITH THE NEW BRAUNFELS IN TEXAS, MCKINNEY, BENBROOK, WATER AUTHORITY, CITY OF GARLAND, TEXAS IS BY FAR OUR MOST SUCCESSFUL STATE. AND. WHAT WAS. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY THERE FOR LEAK DETECTION, BUT. I MEAN, HOW MUCH HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK YOU SAVED? YOU HAD THE BIG NUMBER UP THERE, BUT HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK YOU SAVED CITIES IN TERMS OF, OF WATER OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WE'VE GOT A LEAKAGE ISSUE. SO GREAT QUESTION. OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER TO THAT. IT REALLY IS DEPENDENT ON THE, YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH IT COSTS TO HEAT, TREAT AND PUMP THE WATER UNTIL IT GETS THROUGH THE CUSTOMER METER. ESSENTIALLY WHAT OUR GOAL IS TO HELP YOU GUYS RECOUP THAT RETURN ON INVESTMENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. SO EVERYTHING THEY'RE ON AFTER IS EXTRA MONEY IN YOUR POCKETS. ALL RIGHT. MR. BRYANT, DOES DOES THIS REPLACE ANY OTHER SERVICE WE HAVE, OR IS THIS SOMETHING JUST AN ADDITIONAL THIS THIS IS THIS IS SOMETHING NEW THAT WE'VE WE'RE LOOKING INTO. AND I ALSO WANT TO STATE THAT, YOU KNOW, I KNOW WE'RE MAKING EFFORTS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH AM I THERE IS THERE'S LEAK DETECTION TECHNOLOGY BUILT INTO ARMY WATER METERS THAT'S LARGELY FOCUSED ON THE CUSTOMER SIDE OF THAT SERVICE LINE, WHEREAS THIS IS LOOKING AT OUR INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE MAINTAIN. AND THAT'S WHERE MOST OF THE WATER IS LEAKING FROM. SAFE ASSUMPTION SIR. MR. VERACRUZ, HOW DO YOU TELL THE SIZE LEAK? HOW CAN YOU TELL THE DIFFERENCE IF A SMALL LEAK AS OPPOSED TO. SO IT'S VERY IT'S VERY DEPENDENT ON THE TEAM THAT GOES OUT THERE. YOU KNOW, IF THEY'RE OUT THERE INVESTIGATING ON AN 18 INCH DIAMETER PIPE, THEY CAN MAKE THEIR ESTIMATION ON HOW MANY GALLONS PER MINUTE THEY'RE LOSING NOW, AT LEAST ACROSS ALL WATER UTILITIES. THAT DIAMETER OF PIPE DOES, DOES FLUCTUATE. YOU KNOW, WE'RE SEEING AS LITTLE AS COUPLE INCHES AS IT'S GOING THROUGH THE CUSTOMER METER. TRANSMISSION LINES CAN BE UP TO 20IN OR MORE, YOU KNOW. SO IT REALLY IS DEPENDENT. SO IT'S REALLY UP TO THE TEAM WHO'S DOING THEIR INVESTIGATION TO GIVE THAT ESTIMATE BASED OFF OF WHERE THEY'RE AT. SO A SPECIFICALLY MORE ON THE SCAN ITSELF. DOES IT SHOW A DIFFERENT COLOR. DOES IT. YEAH. WE CANNOT TELL THE MAGNITUDE. WE ARE SOLELY LOOKING FOR SOIL SATURATION. CORRECT? OKAY. BUT WHENEVER WE REPAIR A LEAK, MY CREWS WHEN THEY FILL OUT THE WORK ORDERS, WE HAVE A FORMULA WE FOLLOW TO BUILD IN THAT ESTIMATED LEAK LOSS. AND SO WE CAN WE ALWAYS PLUG THAT INTO OUR WORKFORCE. THAT'S GOOD. THANK YOU. MAYOR. I CAME IN A LITTLE LATE ON THIS CONVERSATION AND IT'S PROBABLY ALREADY ADDRESSED. DO WE HAVE AN ESTIMATE OF CURRENTLY WHAT WE'RE LOSING NOW AS FAR AS THE VALUE OF WATER THAT WE'RE LOSING VALUE? I'M NOT SURE. OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, AN ESTIMATE. JUST GALLONS I THINK WAS WHAT PERCENTAGE? NO DOLLARS. I MEANT WITH OUR LAST WITH OUR LAST WATER QUALITY REPORT, I WANT TO SAY IT WAS IN THE BALLPARK OF A MILLION I HAVE TURNED IN, AND I DON'T THINK IT WAS THE MOST RECENT WATER LOSS REPORT. I HAVE TURNED IN. WATER

[00:45:01]

WE'RE LOOKING TO HELP YOU FIND THOSE SUBSURFACE LEAKS, THOSE ONES THAT HAVE YET TO SURFACE.

THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT YET TO PUSH. HOW MUCH. SO BECAUSE I REMEMBER SEEING ONE OF OUR REPORTS, 2,526% WATER. AND I ALMOST COULDN'T BELIEVE BECAUSE SO THE WATER THAT WE'RE PURCHASING IN DALLAS, WE'RE LOSING. YES. AT TIMES, PERHAPS 15, 20, 25% OF THAT WATER, THAT'S WATER THAT WE'VE PAID TO TREAT THAT WE'RE NOT EARNING MONEY ON. SO. SO HOW MUCH? FORGIVE ME. I KNOW BECAUSE YOU DID A PRESENTATION REALLY GOOD PRESENTATION ON THIS AT SOME POINT. BUT HOW MUCH IS EXPECTED LIKE HOW MUCH WATER LOSS? OUR GOAL IS LESS THAN 10%. YEAH I MEAN OUR GOAL IS ZERO, BUT THE STANDARD IS LESS THAN 10%. AND I'VE SAID THIS IN THE PRESENTATION OR MAYBE THERE WAS A DISCUSSION ABOUT IT, BUT YOUR SUCCESS RATE IN TERMS OF THOSE SAME PERCENTAGES, WHEN YOU GO INTO A CITY, LET'S SAY THE CITY HAD 25% WATER LOSS. TYPICALLY.

WHAT WHAT DO YOU GET DOWN TO. SO OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD AGAIN THEY DO FLUCTUATE. THE CITY OF GARLAND I CAN SAY WE HELP REDUCE THEIR NON-REVENUE WATER PERCENTAGE BY OVER 10%. OKAY. IF WE DON'T FIX THE LEAKS IT'S NOT GOING TO GO DOWN ANY. YEAH. SO YOU GOT A BIG PART IN THIS.

THAT'S RIGHT. YEAH. IT'S HEAVILY RELIANT ON US. MAYOR, IF I COULD I THINK ONE OF THE CHALLENGES THAT WE RUN INTO, RIGHT IS IN SOME. BUT YOU COULD HAVE A WATER LEAK THAT MAY ACTUALLY MAKE ITS WAY TO THE STORM DRAIN SYSTEM. AND THEN, FOR INSTANCE, TEN MILE CREEK. AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA, BUT THE WATER COULD BE FLOWING. THAT EXACT THING ACTUALLY HAPPENED LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. SO WE WERE OUT ON SOFT WOOD FOR OTHER REASONS, UNAFFILIATED WITH WATER. AND JOEL, OUR UTILITY SUPERINTENDENT, WALKED BY AND HEARD WATER RUNNING IN THE STORM INLET. AND IT WAS 100 DEGREES OUTSIDE. AND HE RIGHT AWAY, HE KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON. BUT THERE'S NO TELLING HOW LONG THAT'S BEEN GOING ON. WE JUMPED IN AND CORRECTED IT. BUT YEAH, THAT HAPPENS OFTEN. SO THAT WAS ONE OF OUR DOMESTIC WATER LINES. YES, SIR. YES. YEAH. OFF THE OFF THE ACTUAL WATER MAINS. YEAH. SO WE HAVE. OKAY. WHAT ELSE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. GREAT PRESENTATION. THANK YOU SO MUCH I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU COUNCIL. THANK YOU MAYOR. KIND OF SLOW DOWN. THANK YOU BOTH A LITTLE SLOWER. THAT'S MY FAULT. THANK YOU FOLKS. YOU GUYS HAVE A GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU THANK YOU, THANK YOU. SO WHAT DO YOU WANT TO. OKAY. YEAH, I CAN DO MY PART IN TEN MINUTES. OKAY, THEN LET'S GO AHEAD AND RECESS THIS MEETING AT 6:50 P.M. AND WE'RE

[00:55:01]

I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THAT WE ALL KEEP IN MIND OUR CITY MANAGER. HE IS A FAN OF THE BILLS.

SO WE WANT TO WISH THEM WELL WISHES AS THEY'RE SITTING AT HOME WATCHING US PLAY IN THE SUPER BOWL AGAIN. THIRD TIME. GO CHIEFS. THANK YOU. I OFTEN OCCASIONALLY LET

[3. CITIZENS' INPUT]

MY NAME IS THOMAS LACKEY, 1818 SEABROOK. FIRST OFF, I'D LIKE TO THANK THIS COUNCIL FOR YOUR SERVICE. I THINK THERE'S AN ENERGY ON THIS COUNCIL THAT I HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE. AND I, FOR ONE, AM TRULY GRATEFUL FOR THAT. I'M NOT A LIFELONG RESIDENT OF THIS TOWN. I'VE BEEN HERE FOR EIGHT YEARS. I DON'T HAVE ANY FINANCIAL INTEREST IN THIS TOWN OTHER THAN THOSE OF A HOMEOWNER

[01:10:01]

I'VE LIVED THROUGH FOUR CITY MANAGERS, THREE MAYORS, MANY DEPARTMENT HEADS. I'VE VISION, BOARDED TOWN HALL, KNOCKED ON DOORS, SUPPORTED COUNCIL CANDIDATES TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY, AND SAT THROUGH MANY COUNCIL MEETINGS, SOME OF WHICH WEREN'T PLEASANT. I'VE BEEN ANGRY AT TIMES AND HAPPY AT TIMES. I SAY ALL THIS TO SAY THAT I'VE COME TO UNDERSTAND HOW THIS CITY WORKS, AND I HAVE NO AXES TO GRIND OR HIDDEN AGENDAS. I'VE BEEN STARTLED LATELY BECAUSE MY DEFAULT ATTITUDE OF SKEPTICISM AND CYNICISM HAS BEEN CHANGING. REGARDING DUNCANVILLE, I'M OPTIMISTIC ABOUT WHAT I'M SEEING. I'M HERE TONIGHT TO URGE YOU TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION OUTLINED IN ITEM FIVE B OF TONIGHT'S AGENDA. THINK ABOUT THE LAST TIME, LAST TIME THAT YOU VISITED THAT MADE A LASTING IMPRESSION ON YOU. THINK OF DUNCANVILLE HAS POTENTIAL TO BE SUCH A CITY. I BELIEVE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A CULTURAL DISTRICT MIGHT BE A TURNING POINT FOR US, MIGHT BE A CATALYST FOR SOMETHING TRULY SPECIAL. PLEASE CONSIDER ADOPTING THIS RESOLUTION AND ESTABLISH A DEFINED CULTURAL DISTRICT. FOR US, IT COULD BE TRANSFORMATIVE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AND THAT CONCLUDES OUR PUBLIC COMMENT SESSION FOR

[4. CONSENT AGENDA]

[5.B. Consider a Resolution approving the establishment of a Duncanville Cultural District Steering Committee, name of the Cultural District, and boundaries of the Cultural District.]

YES, SIR. THANK YOU FOR THAT REMINDER. CLARIFICATION. THANK YOU FOR THAT REMINDER. OKAY.

COUNCIL, WE HAD WE HAD HAD THAT DISCUSSION. I APOLOGIZE FOR MISSING THAT, THAT WE HAVE TO GO BACK AND DECIDE BEFORE WE FINALIZE THE VOTE ON THIS AS TO WHAT THOSE FILLING IN THOSE

[01:15:07]

WHEATLAND IS WEST OF SOUTH. I'M SORRY. WHEATLAND MAIN STREETS WEST, RIGHT. AND THEN MAIN STREET WEST. WHAT'S THE EASTERN BOUNDARY? WHAT WOULD BE THE EASTERN BORDER? ORIOL. WELL, FOR. HOPKINS. SO IF YOU'RE ASKING ME EAST WEST AND I'M NO GOOD AT THAT, BUT I CAN THE ONE THAT RUNS BACK FREEMAN'S THE ONE THAT RUNS BACK. FREEMAN, NANCE. MAIN AND WHEATLAND. OKAY. ARE WE ALL IN AGREEMENT WITH THAT. THOSE BOUNDARIES. FREEMAN. TO WHAT EXTENT? IS FREEMAN BEND'S UP AROUND. RIGHT. YEAH. TO BUT TO MR. KOONS'S POINT FREEMAN STARTS, IT'S A TYPICAL PARADE ROUTE. BUT IT IT IT ENCOMPASSES. SO IT'S NANCE THAT CUTS THROUGH THERE. THEN IT WOULD RIGHT WOULD CUT THROUGH AND IT'S FREEMAN ON THE SOUTH. SO FREEMAN WOULD OR ON THE EAST WOULD INCORPORATE AREAS THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF ARMSTRONG PARK. IF WE INCLUDED FREEMAN CITY ATTORNEY. YOU KNOW, THE SITUATION THAT WE GOT INTO WHEN WE ENTERED THIS QUESTION, CAN YOU ASSIST US WITH THE BEST WAY TO ACCOMMODATE THE ANSWER TO THIS THIRD BLANK, SO THAT WE CAN VOTE? I'LL HAVE TO GET UP AND GET THE AUDIENCE SO EAST NANCE DEAD ENDS TO. YEAH. MERRILL. WE'RE NOT INCLUDING CENTRAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THAT IS DUNCANVILLE ISD.

HE WENT TO THE BACK. SO IF. SO IN IN IF WE WERE TO INCORPORATE ANY SECTION OF FREEMAN THAT THAT WOULD BRING INTO THE CULTURAL DISTRICT. SO SEVERAL BARE WALLS OR MURALS COULD BE PAINTED. I WOULD BRING INTO THE LIONS, LIONS CLUBHOUSE, WHICH IS ACTUALLY A HISTORIC BUILDING THAT WAS THE FIRST COMMUNITY CENTER IN DUNCANVILLE. IT WOULD INCORPORATE CENTRAL ELEMENTARY, WHICH WAS THE ORIGINAL HIGH SCHOOL, WHICH IS ALSO A HISTORICAL SITE. SO EXTENDING IT JUST TO FREEMAN WOULD INCORPORATE MULTIPLE HISTORICAL ASSETS. OKAY, I'M GOING TO SLIGHT EXTENSION. MR. KOONTZ. I'M GOING TO ASK MISS GOODIN TO READ HER HER MOTION AGAIN, BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT IN THE MOTION THERE'S A REFERENCE TO WHAT WAS OUR ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION OF THESE BOUNDARIES. MR. MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MOVE TO MAKE A MOTION TO CREATE A

[01:20:18]

[01:25:03]

[5.D. Consider a Resolution approving the contract for third-party operations with Library Systems & Services for the Duncanville Public Library.]

YES, MAYOR. COUNCIL. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. WE DON'T HAVE AN ELABORATE PRESENTATION FOR THIS, BUT THAT DOESN'T, YOU KNOW, TAKE AWAY FROM ANYTHING. I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE HAD MANY CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THIS. WE'VE HAD A SPECIAL WORKSHOP, A JOINT MEETING WITH THE LIBRARY BOARD, AS WELL AS THE FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY AND CITY COUNCIL. YOU DIRECTED ME DURING THAT MEETING TO MEET WITH THE FULL TIME STAFF OF WHICH I HAVE. I'VE MET WITH EVERY SINGLE MEMBER, FULL TIME MEMBER OF THE STAFF. I'VE ASKED THEM QUESTIONS ABOUT WHERE THEY THINK THE FUTURE OF THE LIBRARY IS, THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVING THE LIBRARY, THE OPPORTUNITIES TO RETHINK THE LIBRARY. THERE WERE THOSE STAFF MEMBERS THAT SHARED OPTIMISM. THERE WAS THERE WERE THOSE STAFF MEMBERS THAT SHARED CONCERN AND EXPRESSED SOME ANXIETY. I'LL SHARE. THERE WERE STAFF MEMBERS WHO SHARED WITH ME. THEY WERE EXCITED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF POTENTIALLY WORKING WITH A LARGE ENTITY LIKE LSNS TO BRING ABOUT CHANGE TO THE LIBRARY, AND THERE WERE THOSE WHO EXPRESSED THAT THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT THAT THEY REALLY PREFERRED. AT THE END OF THE DAY, THOUGH, I THINK WHAT WE HEARD FROM OUR COMMUNITY, AS WELL AS I BELIEVE THE DIRECTION THAT YOU GAVE ME IS THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND BETTER SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED TO THE DUNCANVILLE

[01:30:02]

THERE IS ALSO STILL A NUMBER OF TRANSITIONARY TYPE ITEMS I'LL HAVE TO WORK OUT WITH LSNS IN TERMS OF SOFTWARE, IN TERMS OF OWNERSHIP OF COMPUTERS AND OPERATIONAL TYPE STUFF, AND THEN I WOULD WORK THROUGH ALL OF THOSE TYPES OF THINGS WITH LSNS. IF YOU AUTHORIZE ME TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT WITH THAT. SO, MAYOR, WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. SO YES, SIR, I HAVE A COUPLE AND I'M SORRY I DIDN'T PRINT THE TOTAL CONTRACT, THE ENTIRE CONTRACT. BUT ITEM NUMBER TEN, THERE WERE A LIST OF PROHIBITIONS. AND ONE OF THEM THAT I DIDN'T SEE ON THERE, BECAUSE WE HAVE THE THINGS THAT WE TYPICALLY HAVE PROHIBITIONS IN OUR CONTRACTS ON. BUT ITEM TEN, UNDER ITEM TEN, I WONDERED IF WE INCLUDED OR IF THE LSNS GROUP HAS BEEN TOLD ABOUT OUR PROHIBITION AGAINST TIKTOK BEING USED IN ANY OF OUR SYSTEMS. SO, MAYOR, THAT'S A GREAT POINT, AND WE CERTAINLY WILL BE HAVING THOSE TYPES OF CONVERSATIONS WHEN IT COMES TO THE TRANSITION. ONE OF THE THINGS WE STILL HAVE TO FIGURE OUT IS WHETHER THAT WOULD BE A CITY OWNED NETWORK AND FACILITY IN TERMS OF ALL THE IT, OR IF LSNS WOULD OWN IT, AND WE HAVEN'T YET MADE THAT DECISION. THERE'S PROS AND CONS TO BOTH OF THOSE, AND WE'LL WORK THROUGH THOSE TYPES OF THINGS IN THE TRANSITION. BUT YES, WE'LL CERTAINLY CAN HAVE THAT CONVERSATION. THERE ARE REPRESENTATIVES OF L, S AND S IN THE AUDIENCE TO HEAR THIS CONVERSATION TONIGHT. I ALSO WELCOMED THE FACT THAT THEY AGREED TO A FIVE YEAR TERM, AS OPPOSED TO A TEN YEAR TERM. I APPRECIATE THAT OPPORTUNITY. I DON'T HAVE ANY REASON TO THINK WE WOULDN'T RENEW, BUT HAVING THAT IS IMPORTANT. ANOTHER THING I DIDN'T SEE IN THE CONTRACT THOUGH, THERE WERE SOME TERMINATION CLAUSES, BUT I DIDN'T SEE A AND I'M NOT SO SURE IT MATTERS SO MUCH SINCE NOW WE'VE GOT FIVE YEARS, BUT I DIDN'T SEE ANY AGREEMENT WHERE EITHER PARTY COULD TERMINATE WITHOUT CAUSE. AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS ANYTHING ANYBODY ELSE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT OR NOT. I WAS LOOKING FOR THAT BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT WAS A PART OF THIS CONTRACT, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO WAIVER ON HOW I'M GOING TO VOTE ON THIS EITHER WAY. I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT THAT I DIDN'T I DIDN'T SEE THAT. ANY DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT IN THERE AT ALL. SO HAVING SAID THAT, I'LL MOVE ON AND LET OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS ASK QUESTIONS, MISS GOODEN, YOU SAID MY NAME BEFORE I TURN MY LIGHT ON. THANK YOU FOR COMING. SO LSNS AND CITY MANAGER LOCAL INPUT ON MATERIAL AT BEING ABLE TO BE ADDED. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT IS IN THIS CONTRACT WHERE THE COMMUNITY WILL HAVE INPUT ON MATERIAL ADDED AND WITHDRAWING? YES, I HAVE EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE, BASED ON THE CONVERSATIONS I'VE HAD WITH LSNS, AS WELL AS CONVERSATIONS I'VE HAD WITH OTHER MUNICIPALITIES THAT ARE CURRENTLY USING LSNS, THAT THEY VERY MUCH VALUE THE INPUT OF THE COMMUNITY AND WILL TAKE THOSE TYPES OF SUGGESTIONS INTO CONSIDERATION. YOU ALSO HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND WHAT I WOULD SAY IS OUR STAFF HAS A COMBINED TOTAL OF 120 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE, AND I THINK LSNS WOULD BE WELL POSITIONED TO HAVE THAT LEVEL OF SERVICE AND THAT VALUE OF EMPLOYEES THAT WANT TO PROVIDE A SERVICE TO THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE, AND THEY'LL BE LISTENING TO THEM AS THEY MAKE SUGGESTIONS TO THEM. AND THEN WE'LL HAVE ONGOING CONVERSATIONS WITH LSNS. AND

[01:35:01]

I THINK ALSO NEW PROGRAMING, NEW WAYS OF DOING THINGS, MAYBE RELOOKING AT THE SPACE ITSELF AND WAYS TO INCORPORATE THAT. NOW THAT YOU HAVE VOTED, IT'S NOW IN A CULTURAL DISTRICT AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO LEAN INTO THE ARTS COMMISSION. I THINK THAT THERE'S ALL KINDS OF NEW WAYS AND NEW IDEAS THAT WE CAN REALLY EXPLORE. WORKING WITH OUR PARTNERS AT LSNS. AND MR. MCBURNETT, ON THAT SAME POINT OF YOUR QUESTION, WE'VE BEEN THROUGH A NUMBER OF MEETINGS, A NUMBER OF DISCUSSIONS WITH THE LIBRARY BOARD AND FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY AND SOME LIBRARY STAFF,

[01:40:04]

AND I ONLY COME TO THAT CONCLUSION BECAUSE I'VE HAD TO LEARN ON THE ON THE FLY WITH ALL THIS, BECAUSE I WASN'T THAT INVOLVED IN THE LIBRARY AND WHAT WAS GOING ON THERE. BUT AS ALL THE PIECES START TO COME TOGETHER, TALKING TO CITIZENS, TALKING TO LIBRARY PATRONS AND THE LIBRARY BOARD AND THE FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY, I'VE JUST COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY, AND I WANT TO THANK YOU, MR. MCBURNETT, BECAUSE YOU WALKED ME UP TO THEIR BOOTH AT HTML AND SAID, LISTEN, WHAT THESE GUYS GOT FOR YOU. AND BEFORE THAT, I DIDN'T KNOW THIRD PARTY LIBRARY ADMINISTRATION. WE'RE WE'RE EVEN OUT THERE. SO WITH THAT, MR. KOONTZ, YOUR LIES ON. THANK YOU. MAYOR. SO, YOU KNOW, SO, YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO SAY ABOUT, YOU KNOW, LSNS IS, YOU KNOW, WE TOURED A COUPLE OF THE LIBRARIES THAT THEY MANAGE, AND I'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH STAFF AT OTHER LIBRARIES THAT THEY MANAGE. AND JUST THROUGH ALL OF MY RESEARCH THAT THEY ARE A TOP NOTCH COMPANY. AND THEY DO REALLY WELL. THEY DO A GOOD JOB AT WHAT THEY DO DURING THIS PROCESS. THEY'VE BEEN EXTREMELY GRACIOUS AND VERY PATIENT, AND, YOU KNOW, I YOU KNOW, I FEEL OBLIGED TO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE HAVE BEEN SOME THINGS, I BELIEVE, MAYBE JUST SOME FALSE INFORMATION THAT'S BEEN CIRCULATED ABOUT THEIR PRACTICES THAT, YOU KNOW, JUST IN MY RESEARCH, I FOUND NOT TO BE TRUE. ALL THAT BEING SAID, AND I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN IN FAVOR OF THIS TRANSITION UP UNTIL MAYBE ABOUT A MONTH OR SO AGO WITH, YOU KNOW, THE MAYOR MENTIONED SOME OF THE DISCUSSIONS THAT WE'VE HAD WITH THE LIBRARY BOARD, WITH THE FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY, WITH LIBRARY STAFF. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THERE IS SOME TURNOVER THAT'S TAKING PLACE CURRENTLY WITH WITHIN THE LIBRARY. DURING ALL OF THAT, I, YOU KNOW, I'VE IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S BEEN SOME MISCOMMUNICATION JUST WITHIN THE CITY BETWEEN US AND THE BOARD. AND MAYBE WITH, YOU KNOW, OF COURSE, MAYBE WITH INTERNALLY WITH THE STAFF. YOU KNOW, WE JUST RECENTLY HAD A FACILITY NEEDS AND CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT DONE AND THAT THAT PRODUCED SOME RECOMMENDATIONS ON SOME THINGS WE CAN DO SPACE WISE. DID HAVE A THERE WAS A SURVEY THAT WAS DONE. AND WE HAVE THE RESULTS OF THAT SURVEY AND WE DISCUSSED THAT. AND YOU KNOW, I GUESS, YOU KNOW. THEY TALK ABOUT GOVERNMENT MOVE SLOW. AND IT'S BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE ME THAT AT THIS POINT I FEEL LIKE SENSE OF URGENCY MAY BE NOT NECESSARILY IS THERE, AND THAT THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT. WE DIDN'T HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE VISION FOR THE LIBRARY, THE DIRECTION WE WANTED TO GO IN. I FEEL LIKE THOSE KINDS OF DISCUSSIONS NEED TO TAKE PLACE BEFORE, BECAUSE LSNS AGAIN, THEY DO A GREAT JOB AT WHAT THEY DO. THEY COME IN AND THEY ASK CITIES, WHAT DO YOU WANT? AND THEN THAT'S WHAT THEY GIVE YOU. AND I'M NOT SURE RIGHT NOW. I THINK WE'VE REALIZED THAT WE HAVEN'T HAD THOSE DISCUSSIONS AND WE DON'T HAVE THAT THAT VISION IN PLACE. I DO AGREE WITH THE MAYOR THAT THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT THAT CAN BE EXPEDITED BY GOING WITH, WITH A THIRD PARTY, BUT AS WE'VE ALREADY SEEN THIS EVENING, I TEND TO LOOK AT KIND OF THE BIGGER PICTURE. SO I'D PROBABLY BE AGAINST THIS TONIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. MCBURNETT. THANK YOU AGAIN. ONE OF THE BENEFITS THAT I SEE OF A GROUP LIKE THIS IS THAT BASICALLY THEY TAKE SOME OF THE LOAD OFF OF OUR CITY MANAGEMENT. WHAT THEY DO IS THEY DO THE ADMINISTRATIVE PART OF IT. THEY HANDLE THINGS, THEY PROVIDE SPACING RECOMMENDATIONS. THEY DO OTHER THINGS THAT THAT I WOULD TELL YOU, TYPICALLY, MOST

[01:45:05]

[6.A. Receive the Parks and Recreation Department Quarterly Report]

THEY'VE THEY'VE CERTAINLY MADE THAT A HOME AND DO A GREAT JOB OF MAKING IT LOOK AS SUCH. OUR IRRIGATION DIVISION, AGAIN, WE HAVE A NUMBER OF FOLKS, THREE FOLKS ON OUR IRRIGATION TEAM WHO DO NOTHING BUT IRRIGATION PRIMARILY, AND THEY HAD OVER 9000 IRRIGATION ALARMS OVER THE COURSE OF THOSE THREE, THOSE THREE QUARTERS, THAT QUARTER OF THREE MONTHS. SORRY. AND SO THEY DO THEIR WORK FAST, AND THEY WORK HARD EVERY DAY TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NO LEAKS. AND THEN, OF COURSE, IN THE TIMES OF COLD WEATHER, THEY MAKE SURE ALL THE SYSTEMS ARE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN TOO. SO WE DON'T HAVE ANY ICE BUILDING UP ON OUR ROADS BY IRRIGATION, RUNNING ERRONEOUSLY.

MOVING TO OUR ATHLETICS DIVISION. WE HAD A 97 BALL FIELD, RENOVATIONS, OVER 2000 PARTICIPANTS. WE INSTALLED THE MERRYWEATHER LIGHTNING PREDICTION SYSTEM AT THE PARK.

WE'VE UPGRADED THAT FROM OUR OLD SYSTEM, SO WE THINK THAT'S A GREAT ADDITION TO HELP NOTIFY ALL OF OUR PARTICIPANTS AT THE PARK OF IMPENDING WEATHER TO MAKE SURE THEY CLEAR THE FIELDS.

THE HORTICULTURE. AGAIN, THE BIGGEST THING IS WE PLANTED TULIPS. THAT'S SOMETHING EVERYONE LOOKS FORWARD TO IN THE SPRING. RIGHT? AND SO I WILL SHARE WITH YOU THAT THE COLOR IS I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE I DON'T TELL ME. SO IT'S A SURPRISE TO ALL OF US. BUT THEY ALL I CAN ASSURE YOU THIS THEY WILL LOOK GREAT. AND I INTENTIONALLY TELL THEM NOT TO TELL ME TOO, BECAUSE I WANT TO BE SURPRISED LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE. SO JUST SO THAT IT'S NOT BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIKE ME? I DON'T THINK SO. WE ALSO ASSIST, OF COURSE, WITH OUR HOLIDAY LIGHT EVENT LIGHTING EVENT. ALL THE DEPARTMENTS DO. IT'S NOT JUST A PARKS AND RECREATION ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, IT'S EVERYONE IN THE CITY, THE POLICE, FIRE, PUBLIC WORKS. SO THAT'S A HUGE EVENT THAT EVERYONE HELPS OUT WITH. SO STAY VERY BUSY. WE DID FINISH IT SAYS HERE WE STARTED THE HANGING BASKET PROJECT. WE ACTUALLY FINISHED IT IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS. THE BRACKETS ARE UP. SO IF YOU SEE THE DOWNTOWN DECORATIVE LIGHT POLES, YOU'LL SEE THE BRACKETS. WE INTENTIONALLY DID NOT HANG THE BASKETS BECAUSE THEY'RE EMPTY. THEY WILL BE FILLED PROBABLY AROUND END OF MARCH WITH FRESH FLOWERS FOR THE SPRING. SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT PROJECT. IN OUR KEEP A BEAUTIFUL BOARD. THEY ALWAYS STAY VERY BUSY. THEY OF COURSE, THEY RECOGNIZE GO IN A COFFEE STATION AS OUR WINTER BEAUTIFICATION AWARD WINNER. THEY HAVE A NUMBER OF EVENTS COMING UP. YOU CAN SEE THERE AT THE BOTTOM WITH THE COMMUNITY CLEANUP ON FEBRUARY 22ND AT RED

[01:50:01]

SOME OF THE EVENTS WE HELD OVER THE LAST QUARTER, OF COURSE, WAS THE FAMILY FIELD DAY, THE COOKIES WITH SANTA, FAMILY GAME NIGHT, OUR MEMBERSHIP DRIVE, AND THEN A HOLIDAY PICKLEBALL CAMP.

OUR UPCOMING PROGRAMS NEXT WEEKEND, OF COURSE, IS OUR DADDY DAUGHTER DANCE. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A DAUGHTER AND DON'T COME PARTICIPATE, I WOULD HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU COME BY JUST TO VISIT. WE DO IT IN THE GYM. HOWEVER, YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW IT WAS A GYM. THE WAY THEY DECORATE IT, THEY REALLY TRANSFORM IT INTO A BALLROOM. SO OUR STAFF DOES A GREAT JOB WITH THIS EVENT AND WE'RE EXCITED TO HOST IT EVERY YEAR. AS WAS MENTIONED EARLIER, OUR BLACK HISTORY MONTH FIRESIDE CHAT WILL BE THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20TH. YOU'LL NOTICE A TIME CHANGE ON THAT. THAT HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN A DAYTIME EVENT, BUT WE'VE RECEIVED FEEDBACK FROM LAST YEAR THAT WE WANTED TO MOVE IT TO AN EVENING EVENT TO ALLOW MORE RESIDENTS TO BE ABLE TO COME AND PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM, BECAUSE MOST, MOST OF OUR RESIDENTS ARE WORKING, WORKING DURING THE DAY. SO THAT IS AN EVENING EVENT ON FEBRUARY 20TH, OUR PRINCESS TEA PARTY EVENT ON MARCH 8TH, EASTER EXTRAVAGANZA ON APRIL 12TH, AND OUR CONCERT IN THE PARK WILL BE INHALING, WHICH IS A TRIBUTE BAND, OF COURSE, TO VAN HALEN. ON APRIL 26TH. SORRY, OOPS. MOVING TO OUR SENIOR CENTER, WE HAVE HAD 36 NEW AND RENEWED MEMBERSHIPS OVER THE QUARTER, OVER 2300 VISITS.

WE DO HAVE, OF COURSE, OUR MEAL SERVICE WITH TRIPLE A AND VNA, WITH OVER 2500 MEALS SERVED, AND AGAIN, THEY DO A FANTASTIC JOB AT THE SENIOR CENTER, MAKING SURE THAT OUR SENIORS ARE WELL FED AND TAKEN CARE OF. AND LASTLY, WE'LL TALK ABOUT OUR PROJECTS AND OUR PLANNING EFFORTS. OF COURSE, A MAJORITY OF OUR BOND PROJECTS ARE COMPLETE NOW WITH ARMSTRONG PARK, AND HARRINGTON PARK IS NOW UNDER WELL UNDERWAY. I'LL SHARE WITH YOU THAT WE ANTICIPATE THE BUILDING COMING DOWN LATER THIS WEEK. THEY'VE DONE ALL THE PREP WORK TO GET ALL THE POWER SHUT OFF. WE'VE HARVESTED A LOT OF THE THINGS WE WANTED TO TRY TO KEEP FROM THE OLD CONCESSION STAND THERE AT THE BASEBALL FIELDS, AND THE BUILDING SHOULD START COMING DOWN HOPEFULLY AS EARLY AS THIS THURSDAY. SO WE ARE MOVING QUICKLY ON THE HARRINGTON PROJECT. THE CHARLES LADD NATURE PRESERVE MASTER PLAN. JUST TO GIVE YOU A QUICK UPDATE. I THINK WE GAVE YOU GUYS A DEADLINE KIND OF LAST FRIDAY TO PROVIDE ANY KIND OF FEEDBACK YOU MIGHT HAVE TO THE DRAFT PLAN. I DIDN'T RECEIVE ANYTHING BACK FROM THE COUNCIL. HOWEVER, I DID RECEIVE COMMENTS BACK FROM TWO OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMBERS. I WILL BE SENDING THAT INFORMATION TO OUR CONSULTANT HALF TOMORROW. SO YOU DO HAVE ANOTHER 24 HOURS.

YOU CAN NOW YOU CAN LEARN ARCHERY AND DO BRAZILIAN INDOOR SOCCER AND STUFF TOO. SO BUT THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO. THANK YOU. HAVE A HAVE A GREAT STAFF. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. OKAY. OUR FINAL ITEM BEFORE WE GO TO OUR EXECUTIVE

[6.B. Monthly Financial Report as of December 31, 2024]

SO THE BENCHMARK AT THIS POINT IN THE YEAR IS ABOUT 25%. SO GIVING YOU AN ALL FUNDS SUMMARY HERE, WE HAVE COLLECTED 20.6 MILLION TO DATE. TO DATE OUR INTEREST INCOME IS 778,000. AND AGAIN THAT BENCHMARK IS AT 25%. BUT AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR, WE EXPECT TO START COLLECTING MORE AS PROPERTY TAXES ARE COMING IN. SO WE'VE ACTUALLY COLLECTED 48% FOR EXPENDITURES. WE'VE SPENT 14.7 MILLION, AGAIN, WITH THAT BENCHMARK BEING 25%. WE'VE ACTUALLY EXPENDED 14%. SO THIS IS THE FIRST MONTH THAT WE START SHOWING SALES TAX AS WE DO COLLECT TWO MONTHS BEHIND. SO HAVING ONE MONTH OUT OF THE YEAR WOULD BE ABOUT 8.3%. SO WE'VE ACTUALLY COLLECTED 8.02%. SO THAT BRINGS US ABOUT 0.67% HIGHER THAN THE SAME PERIOD LAST FISCAL YEAR. OUR SALES TAX ASSURANCE COMPANY THAT WE UTILIZE PROJECTS INTO THE NEXT QUARTER, SOME POSITIVE GROWTH IN THE NEXT TWO QUARTERS FOR CONSTRUCTION, MANUFACTURING AND GENERAL RETAIL. SO THOSE ARE MAKE UP THE BULK OF OUR SALES TAX BODY IN THE CITY HERE. SO THEY THEY EXPECT ABOUT 0.5 TO 1% GROWTH. SO GENERAL FUND AGAIN OUR ACTUAL REVENUE IS AT 31.7% 163,000. WE COLLECTED IN INTEREST AND INVESTMENT INCOME. ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE WE HAVE EXPENDED 17.3% TO DATE. SO HERE'S YOUR TABLE VIEW. IF I HAVE PRESENTED THESE I'VE NEVER ACTUALLY GONE OVER HOW TO READ THIS CHART. SO IF I MAY, FOR THOSE THAT ARE LISTENING WHO DON'T LOOK AT FINANCIALS VERY OFTEN, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT HERE, BECAUSE THIS IS INCLUDED IN THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR EVERY FUND. THIS IS JUST THE REVENUE OF THE GENERAL FUND. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, THE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES, ALL OF OUR ACCOUNTS ARE GROUPED INTO VARIOUS CATEGORIES LIKE PROPERTY TAX, SALES TAX, PERMITS, ETC. THE FIRST COLUMN THAT YOU SEE THERE TO THE LEFT, IS WHAT WE ACTUALLY COLLECTED IN THE MONTH OF DECEMBER SPECIFICALLY. AND THE SECOND COLUMN YOU SEE THERE IS THE YEAR TO DATE. SO IT'D BE OCTOBER THROUGH DECEMBER. IT SHOWS YOU THE TOTAL. IT SHOWS YOU THE CURRENT BUDGET. AND THEN THAT FOURTH COLUMN THERE IS THE PERCENT OF BUDGET. SO WHAT IT'S BEEN EXPENDED OR WHAT'S BEEN COLLECTED, WHAT IS THE PERCENT COMPARED TO THE BUDGET. AND THEN THE SECOND SECTION THERE IS COMPARING THE SAME INFORMATION TO THE PRIOR FISCAL YEAR TO DATE. SO YOU HAVE OCTOBER THROUGH DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR, AS WELL AS THE COLLECTION PERCENTAGE BASED ON THE BUDGET LAST YEAR. AND THEN THE FINAL SECTION YOU HAVE IS THE VARIANCE. SO IT JUST SHOWS YOU ARE YOU ABOVE YOU WERE AT THIS TIME LAST YEAR, WERE YOU BELOW THIS TIME LAST YEAR IN A DOLLAR AMOUNT AS WELL AS A PERCENTAGE.

SO HOPEFULLY THAT HELPS A LITTLE BIT. FOR THOSE ON HOW YOU CAN READ THESE TABLES. SO ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE, AGAIN 17.28% IS WHAT WE'VE EXPENDED. AND THIS JUST GIVES YOU A SNAPSHOT AGAIN OF BASED ON THE BUDGET WHERE WE'RE AT WITH THE ENDING FUND BALANCE AND HOW MUCH WE HAVE OVER THE POLICY OF 150 DAYS. OF COURSE, THE AUDIT IS STILL BEING CONCLUDED. SO THESE ARE NOT FINAL, BUT IT JUST SHOWS YOU AGAIN, ABOUT 5.3 MILLION. WE HAVE IN EXCESS OVER THE 150 DAYS. SO UTILITY FUND, THE SECOND LARGEST FUND, WE HAVE COLLECTED 3.9 MILLION TO DATE.

THAT'S 17% OF THE BUDGET WE COLLECT, ONE MONTH BEHIND ON THE EXPENDITURES. WE'VE SPENT 4.3

[02:00:01]

SO LET ME MAKE NOTE OF THAT. AND THEN UNDER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, THE WORKSHEET FOR THAT, THAT'S THE NEXT SHEET OVER. YOU SAY WE'RE TWO MONTHS DELAY RIGHT. FOR SALES TAX. YES MA'AM. FOR SALES TAX. AND I SEE LINE 51 SHOWS 263 015. BUT WE HAVE TOTAL REVENUE OF 279. SO LET ME START WITH THE 263. AND I SEE I'M ASKING BECAUSE WE HAVE A NEGATIVE DOWN HERE. THIS IS A REPRESENTATION OF ONE MONTH ONE MONTH OF REVENUE COMING IN. BUT THREE MONTHS OF EXPENDITURES GOING OUT. OF COURSE IT WILL CATCH UP AS THE YEAR PROGRESSES AS WE CONTINUE TO COLLECT IN SALES TAX. BUT SINCE WE'RE TWO MONTHS BEHIND, OF COURSE, INITIALLY YOU'RE GOING TO SHOW A NET LOSS. OKAY. SO WHAT MONTH. SO THIS IS THIS IS THE MONTH OF DECEMBER FOR COLLECTIONS FROM OCTOBER OKAY. SO DO WE GET FUNDING IN OR SALES TAX RECEIVED FOR OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER.

AND DOLLAR AMOUNTS CASH AMOUNTS. DO WE GET THAT. DO WE HAVE OCTOBER, NOVEMBER DECEMBER AMOUNTS. CURRENTLY WE ONLY HAVE OCTOBER'S BECAUSE WE RECEIVED THE FUNDS. TWO MONTHS LATER WE RECEIVED. SO DECEMBER IS THE FIRST MONTH THAT WE ACTUALLY RECEIVE FROM THE STATE THE SALES TAX. SO THIS IS ONLY ONE MONTH'S WORTH OF SALES TAX THAT YOU SEE HERE. AND IT'S 0.5% OF THE 2%

[02:05:07]

OKAY. SO WE HAVE EXPENSES THAT ARE AHEAD OF THE REVENUE THEN. SO THE EXPENSES ARE BEING PAID OUT AND WE HAVEN'T YET RECEIVED THE REVENUE FOR THAT FULL FIRST QUARTER OF THE YEAR. YES THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. BUT IT WILL CATCH UP. IT WILL CATCH UP OKAY. SO IS THIS CITY MANAGER. IS THIS ALSO WHAT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION USES FOR THEIR FUNDING TO INFORM THEM UNTIL THEY'RE ABLE TO RECEIVE A REPORT AND WE'RE ABLE TO RECEIVE A REPORT, IS THIS SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN USE TO DETERMINE THEIR STATUS, BEING THAT IT'S MONTHS BEHIND? WELL, SO I THINK I GET WHAT YOU'RE ASKING IS RELATIVE TO THE FUNDS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, WHICH THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE BEST WAY TO LOOK AT THAT. RIGHT? THERE'S ADDITIONAL REPORTS AND STUFF THAT ARE PROVIDED IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR IS SHARING THAT WITH THE EDC. RIGHT? I KNOW ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY'RE WORKING WITH THE BUDGET ADMINISTRATOR ON RIGHT NOW IS A DIFFERENT REPORT, SO THAT THEY CAN SHOW THE AMOUNTS OF MONEY THAT ARE ENCUMBERED AND ALL THAT STUFF SO THAT THEY CAN SEE WHAT THEY HAVE AVAILABLE TO SPEND IN TERMS OF GRANTS. BUT THAT'S A SPECIFIC LINE ITEM. AND FEEL FREE TO JUMP IN HERE, JENNIFER, VERSUS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS THE TOTAL REVENUE AND EXPENSES FOR THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, FOR THE DEPARTMENT, BECAUSE THE EDC ISN'T INVOLVED IN THE OPERATION EXPENSES, JUST THE PARTICULAR LINE RELATIVE TO GRANTS. DO WE HAVE AN ESTIMATED TIMELINE ON WHEN WE WILL RECEIVE THE REPORT OF THE EXPERT FOR THE CORPORATION? BECAUSE I THOUGHT I COULD FOLLOW ALONG WITH THIS TO CORRELATE WITH WHAT THEY DO. BUT THIS IS JUST FOR THE DEPARTMENT, IS WHAT I'M UNDERSTANDING. THAT IS THE WHOLE FUND. BUT YES, WHAT THEY RECEIVE, THEY ALSO SEE HERE'S ALL THE AWARDED, YOU KNOW, GRANTS. AND THIS IS WHAT WE PAID OUT TO DATE. THIS IS WHAT WE'RE STILL WAITING ON. YOU KNOW, THAT INFORMATION IS ALSO PROVIDED TO THEM SO THEY CAN SEE. OKAY. IF THAT REALLY ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION WELL. AND SO THEY'RE ALSO KEEP IN MIND ALSO, AND I KNOW THAT I JUST HAD THIS CONVERSATION WITH DIRECTOR BARRERA. I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S IN HERE OR NOT, BUT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF GRANTS, FOR INSTANCE, THAT WERE AWARDED THAT HAVE NOW EXPIRED BECAUSE THE FUNDS NEVER WERE UTILIZED. AND SO HE'S IN THE PROCESS, I THINK EITHER AT THEIR NEXT MEETING OR MAYBE THE MEETING AFTER, THEY'RE GOING TO GO BACK AND REPEAL ALL OF THOSE BECAUSE THEY HAVE EXPIRED PAST THE DATE, AND SO THAT THEY CAN THEN DO THE PROPER FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING TO CREDIT THAT BACK AND MAKE SURE THE EDC BOARD UNDERSTANDS THAT. SO, OKAY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. SEE NO OTHER LIGHTS. THANK YOU, MISS OTAY. AND WITH THAT, WE'RE

[EXECUTIVE SESSION (Part 2 of 2)]

[5.C. Consider a Resolution approving the purchase and sale agreement by and between the City of Duncanville, Texas and KKMD Investments, LLC, for property located on the southeast corner of East IH-20 eastbound frontage road and N. Alexander Ave.]

OKAY, SO. WE ARE MOVING ON TO ITEM SIX C, WHICH WAS FORMERLY FIVE C, AND THAT IS TO CONSIDER A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF

[02:10:03]

PRESENTING THIS EVENING IS VICTOR BARRERA, THE DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. GOOD EVENING. SO I'M GOING TO PROCEED WITH THE PRESENTATION. I'M NOT. YES. I DON'T HAVE THE SLIDES WERE LOADED UP HERE. DO YOU HAVE A POINTER? ALEX IS HERE. DOES HE NEED ALEX? CAN YOU ADVANCE THEM FOR HIM? CAN YOU SEE? ALEX SHOULD HEAR US RIGHT NOW. THERE HE IS. HE SAID HE'S TOO OLD TO RUN, I HEARD HIM. OVER. HE'S CHASING YOU, ALEX. TAKE IT FROM AN OLD GUY, MR. MAYOR, THANK YOU SO MUCH. ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU. SO WE HAVE AN EXPERIENCED HOTEL DEVELOPER THAT HAS EXPRESSED INTEREST IN PURCHASING THE. EXCUSE ME, THE TOYOTA PROPERTY FOR $1 MILLION AND 20,000. 20,000, BASED ON AN APPRAISAL THAT THE CITY OBTAINED, THE DEVELOPER PLANS TO BUILD A RESIDENCE IN. THIS IS A MARRIOTT BRAND AS THE FIRST PHASE OF THE PROJECT, THIS DEVELOPER AIMS TO CREATE A BALANCED DEVELOPMENT FOR THE SITES UPON THE EXECUTION OF THE PURCHASE SALE AGREEMENT THAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR PACKET, THE DEVELOPER WILL PROVIDE $10,000 IN EARNEST MONEY. THERE WILL BE AN INSPECTION PERIOD THAT CONSISTS OF 180 DAYS FROM THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE AGREEMENT. THE CITY FOR MANY YEARS HAS BEEN FOCUSING ON RETURNING THIS PROPERTY BACK INTO PRODUCTIVE USE TO GENERATE SALES TAX AND PROPERTY TAX REVENUE, AS WELL AS CREATE JOBS ON THIS SITE. THE PROPOSED HOTEL CONSTRUCTION HAS AN INITIAL INVESTMENT OF $2 MILLION IN CONSTRUCTION. EXCUSE ME. SORRY, $20 MILLION. CONSTRUCTION IS EXPECTED TO TAKE 18 TO 24 MONTHS TO COMPLETE. THE INVESTMENT WILL SERVE AS A CATALYST FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT IN THE PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING PROPERTIES. THE PROPOSAL ALIGNS WITH THE CITY'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES. THIS IS JUST A AERIAL SHOT OF THE SITE AND STREET VIEW SHOT OF THE SITE, AND THIS IS A JUST A PRELIMINARY CONCEPTUAL PLAN OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ENTIRE SITE. THIS IS NOT A FINAL. AGAIN, THIS IS VERY CONCEPTUAL. THERE IS A THOUGHT, AN IDEA OF AN ADDITIONAL HOTEL POTENTIALLY BEING ON THE SITE. I HAD COMMUNICATION WITH THE DEVELOPER THIS EVENING, AND IT WAS SHARED WITH ME THAT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THEY COULD GET MAYBE LAND A HILTON OR ANOTHER MARRIOTT BRAND HOTEL TO THE SITE, AND THEY'RE WORKING THROUGH THE POSSIBILITY OF GETTING A RESTAURANT AT THE FRONT PORTION OF THE SITE. BUT AGAIN, THEY'LL HAVE TO WORK THROUGH THE THOSE DETAILS.

THERE'S RESIDENTS IN MARRIOTT AND THE ESTIMATED TOTAL TOTAL PROJECT COST 16 TO $25 MILLION.

THE ESTIMATED REVENUE PER YEAR 4 TO $6 MILLION. AND THESE ARE JUST SOME CONCEPTUAL DRAWINGS OF HOW THE SITE CAN BE DEVELOPED. THERE'S STILL A LOT MORE FINE TUNING, BUT THESE ARE JUST SOME QUICK LINES ON PAPER. ECONOMIC GROWTH THE MARRIOTT HOTEL CREATES JOBS AND BOTH LOCAL ECONOMY THROUGH INCREASED FOOT TRAFFIC, TOURISM AND BUSINESS TRAVEL. IT ATTRACTS MORE VISITORS FOR BOTH LEISURE AND BUSINESS IN SUPPORTING LOCAL HOSPITALITY, CITY PRESTIGE AND DEVELOPMENT. HOSTING A GLOBAL BRAND ENHANCES DUNCANVILLE APPEAL AND SPURS FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS. TAX REVENUE THE HOTEL HOTEL GENERATES SIGNIFICANT TAX REVENUE FOR CITY IMPROVEMENTS AND PUBLIC SERVICES. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. MARRIOTT'S CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY INITIATIVES CAN BENEFIT LOCAL CAUSES AND RESIDENTS. AND THAT IS ALL. THE SLIDES THAT YOU HAD UP THERE, WERE ANY OF THEM. THE MYSTERY EXHIBIT A THAT WASN'T IN THE DOCUMENTS THAT WERE SUBMITTED TO US. THE EXHIBIT A, AS I READ THE AGREEMENT, IS IN REFERENCE TO THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY. OKAY, BUT IT'S BLANK. YES, WE HAVE TO INCLUDE THAT IN THERE. BUT YES, I MEAN, FOR OUR BENEFIT, IS IT A LEGAL DESCRIPTION? IS A PLATTED MY UNDERSTANDING THAT, YES, IT IS. SO YOU SHOULD HAVE A LATIN BLOCK NUMBER WOULD GO IN THAT PARAGRAPH. YES. WE CAN INCLUDE THAT. IT IS MY OPINION. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED. I MEAN, IT'S A DOCUMENT THAT WE'RE BEING ASKED TO MAKE A DECISION ON AND IT

[02:15:03]

OKAY. SO MORE THAN LIKELY, I WOULD IMAGINE THAT THIS PROPERTY WILL BE WILL BE REPLATTED. AND HONESTLY, I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF IT'S TREATED AS A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. COULD YOU GO TO SLIDE 9797? YES, SIR. SORRY. SO ONE ONE, JUST FOR CLARITY, WE'RE SELLING THE ENTIRE PROPERTY. THE OPPORTUNITY IS BEING AFFORDED TO THE DEVELOPER TO PURCHASE THE ENTIRE PROPERTY, SUBJECT TO THE DEVELOPER PUTTING TOGETHER A MUTUALLY ACCEPTABLE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE SITES. THE CITY WILL NOT AS THE AS THE CONTRACT IS CURRENTLY WRITTEN, THE CITY WILL NOT SELL THE PROPERTY. IF IT'S NOT IN AGREEMENT WITH THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE SITE, AND THAT SORRY, GO AHEAD. AND ALSO THE RESIDENT IN IS SUPPOSED TO BE MERIT'S TOP, TOP LINE AND THAT HAS BEEN INCORPORATED IN THE AGREEMENT THAT WILL BE BUILT ON PHASE ONE. SO I JUST WANT TO PIGGYBACK ON THAT. THE WAY THE CONTRACT IS WRITTEN, SAY THEY COME TO US WITH THIS POTENTIAL RESTAURANT MAY BE MORE DESCRIPTION AND WHATEVER ELSE OVER HERE. AND THEY ONLY BUILD THE HOTEL. WE HAVE THE CONTRACTS WRITTEN. IF THEY WANTED TO DO ANYTHING ELSE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT THEY TOLD US IN THAT. WHATEVER THEY SUBMIT THAT WE APPROVE OF, THEY'D HAVE TO COME BACK TO US. THEY COULDN'T. JUST DECIDE THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS BECAUSE THEY'D HAVE TO HAVE A SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR THE OTHER TWO PAD SITES, AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE USES THAT ARE ALLOWED UNDER THE CURRENT ZONING OR UNDER THE CONTRACT. BUT IF WE APPROVED IT BASED ON THEIR PLAN, DO THEY HAVE TO STICK TO THAT UNDER THIS CONTRACT? I MEAN, THEY COULDN'T THEY IF THEY HAVE A DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE ENTIRE TRACK, THAN WHATEVER IS APPROVED AND IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE AGREEMENT AND THEY CANNOT DEVIATE WITHOUT OUR APPROVAL. RIGHT? OKAY. YOU WOULD ULTIMATELY HAVE REVIEW OF THAT DEVELOPMENT PLAN. OKAY. BUT THE PLAN WOULD INCLUDE THE HOTEL AS DEFINED IN THE AGREEMENT. IT'S THE OTHER USES ON THE SITE THAT ARE SUBJECT TO SOME. INTERPRETATION. OKAY. IS THE 16 ESTIMATED TOTAL COST. IS THAT 16 MILLION JUST FOR THE HOTEL AND THEN THE OTHER 2525 MILLION IS FOR EVERYTHING ELSE THAT MIGHT BE THERE. NO, 16 TO 25 MILLION IS JUST FOR THE FIRST PHASE FOR THE HOTEL. THIS IS FOR THE RESIDENTS. YES. AND THEN SO THAT 4 TO 6 MILLION. IS THAT ADDITIONAL REVENUE TO THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE? THAT'S ANNUALLY. THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE PROJECTING AS FAR AS SALES IS CONCERNED, THEIR SALES. OKAY. SO WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE FOR REVENUE TO THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE? HONESTLY, I HAVEN'T DONE THAT MATH. THE DEVELOPER SHARED WITH ME THIS EVENING THAT THEY'RE PROJECTING 85 TO 100 ROOMS FOR THIS FACILITY. AND I THINK TO MR. KIM'S POINT, I THINK HE'S SAYING WHAT'S COMING IN IN TERMS OF PROPERTY TAXES AS WELL AS LONG TERM MIGHT BE GOING INTO THAT TAXES, SALES TAX. AND AT ONE. THIS PROPERTY, FOR WHATEVER IT'S WORTH, IS ALSO LOCATED WITHIN THE WITHIN THE TIF. SO RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT GENERATING ANY TAXES. THEY WANTED TIF COMMITMENT. THEY HAVE NOT ASKED COULD THEY. YES. BUT AS OF TODAY THAT HAS NOT BEEN ASKED. THE TAX FINANCING I'M SORRY. HAS IT BEEN PRESENTED TO. THEM. THEY ARE SORRY. YES. THEY ARE AWARE THAT THE PROPERTY IS IN A TIF.

[02:20:14]

YOU WOULD HAVE TO APPROVE THAT SUBMITTAL. AND THEN WHAT I WOULD DO IF I WERE ME, AS I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU PUT DEED RESTRICTIONS TO INDICATE WHAT YOU DON'T WANT, SO YOU TIE THEM DOWN AS MUCH AS YOU CAN TO THAT AS PART OF THE SALE, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DO THAT AND PROMISE THEM ZONING BECAUSE THAT'S CONTRACT ZONING AND THAT YOU CANNOT DO. AND THAT'S WHY I WOULD DO IT THAT WAY INSTEAD OF THE WAY IT WAS DONE BY SOMEBODY ELSE. MAYOR, IF I COULD THERE RIGHT AFTER THE SENTENCE THAT VICTOR READ, DIRECTOR BREWER, THERE'S ANOTHER SENTENCE THAT SAYS BUYER MUST HAVE WRITTEN APPROVAL OF ITS DEVELOPMENT PLAN FROM THE SELLER CITY COUNCIL BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH CLOSING. NOW, IS IT WORDED MAYBE THE WAY THAT WE WOULD HAVE TRADITIONALLY SEEN THAT? NO, BUT IT SAYS WRITTEN APPROVAL. SO THAT TO ME WOULD BE CITY COUNCIL WOULD HAVE TO PASS A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN PRIOR TO EVEN BEING ABLE TO GO TO CLOSING ON THE PROPERTY. MIGHT HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. YOU'D HAVE TO GIVE THEM SOMETHING IN WRITING, RIGHT? BUT YOU GOT TO BE CAREFUL THAT IT'S NOT ZONING. IT'S TROUBLE WITH THE COMMENT THAT YOU JUST MADE. IF YOU HAD WRITTEN SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES, YOU JUST SAID, IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE YOU REVIEW THIS? YEAH. I MEAN, ON OUR BEHALF AND GIVE US YOUR OPINION.

YES. MAKE A RECOMMENDATION AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION. WHAT IS IT YOU WANT ME TO DO, THOUGH? EVEN TO DOUG'S POINT, YOU GOT TO TELL ME WHAT THE RESTRICTIONS ARE. WHAT? WHAT PROTECTION DO YOU WANT? DO YOU WANT DEEP? PROTECTION? IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THE BEST OPTION. OR IS IT NOT? HOW CAN I SAY? SOMETIMES YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DON'T WANT.

YEAH, AND YOU KNOW WHAT THE ZONING IS NOW. SO WHAT IS IT YOU DON'T WANT? BECAUSE THE MARKET WILL REALLY DICTATE WHAT GOES ON THAT PROPERTY MORE THAN YOU AND I WILL. BECAUSE IF I WANT PERRY STEAKHOUSE AND IT GOES WITH THE RESIDENT, IF PERRY STEAKHOUSE THINKS IT'S A GOOD DEAL AND THEY'LL BUILD IT OUT. BUT EVEN IF WE WANT IT AND PERRY'S DON'T THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA, THEY AIN'T GOING TO BUILD IT. SO IT'S MORE IT'S ALMOST A NEGATIVE. SO WHAT DO YOU NOT WANT ON THAT SIDE? WE DON'T WANT TO CALL A WASH. WE DON'T WANT A BAIL BONDS. AND WHAT YOU WANT IS A RESTAURANT, BUT YOU DON'T WANT A RESTAURANT WITH A DRIVE THROUGH. YOU WANT TO SET UP. SO HELP ME OUT ON THIS TOO. IF THE IF THE SALE GOES THROUGH WITH THOSE RESTRICTIONS AND THEN THEY SELL ONE OF THESE OTHER TWO LOTS OFF TO SOMEBODY. DEED RESTRICTION GOES WITH IT. IT'S BINDING. THAT

[02:25:06]

DO YOU HAVE A LIST OF USES? I DON'T HAVE TO HOLD IT. I HAVE ACCESS TO IT. WE ALL DO. YEAH, YEAH. I NEED SOME CONSENSUS. WHAT, YOU DON'T WANT TO WRITE THE DEED RESTRICTION SO THAT WE'RE CLEAR? I THINK IT'S ONLY FAIR TO THE PURCHASER TO TELL THEM YOU CAN'T HAVE THESE THINGS. WE'RE GOING TO DO THESE OTHER THINGS, BUT YOU CAN'T HAVE THESE THINGS. SO GENERAL OFFICE RETAIL, WE CAN JUST GO THROUGH THAT LIST OF USES AND DECIDE WHAT WE DON'T WANT AND GET RID OF, AND THEN DECONSTRUCT IT AND SAY THE FOLLOWING USES WILL NOT BE CONSTRUCTED OR DEVELOPED ON THIS SITE. AND THEN YOU'LL LIST THEM ON HELP ME OUT. VICTOR, CITY MANAGER ON THE AND THEN LEAVE IN IF THEY PUNT AND DON'T GIVE YOU A PLAN WITHIN 180 DAYS, DEAL'S OFF. SO THE TWO OPTIONS THAT ARE ON THERE, ONE OF THEM BEING WHAT I THINK THIS HOTEL MIGHT BE, IS MELISSA ESTABLISHED THAT RIGHT NOW, EVEN THOUGH IT'S A EXTENDED STAY, IS IT. WE THINK THIS IS A FULL SERVICE OKAY.

YES. OKAY. SO BASED ON THAT RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE TO GET A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO DO THAT OKAY. SO WHERE DOES THAT PLAY INTO THIS. THAT'S DOWN THE ROAD. SALES GOT TO HAPPEN. AND THEN HE GETS A SPECIAL USE PERMIT. ALL RIGHT. BECAUSE YOU CAN'T CONTRACT ZONING AND YOUR CONTRACT ZONING. HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE YOU TO REVIEW IT. AFTER WE GIVE YOU THE LIST OF WHAT WE DON'T WANT OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU NEED, THAT'S NOT THE QUESTION OF HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO TAKE ME. I CAN GET IT DONE, BUT HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE THEM? BECAUSE IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO HERE. YOU OWE IT TO YOUR PURCHASER TO BE UPFRONT WITH THEM WHAT THE ISSUES ARE, BECAUSE THEY MAY BACK OUT. WE DON'T WANT THAT RESTRICTION. I DON'T THINK THAT THAT IN MY BASED ON WHAT I'M HEARING FROM YOU ALL, I DON'T THINK THAT THAT'S CRYSTAL CLEAR TO EVERYBODY THAT'S AT THE TABLE, THE PURCHASER AND THE SELLER. HERE'S WHAT WE WANT. YES, WE WANT THIS, YES, WE WANT THIS. BUT WE GOT A WHOLE LIST OF THINGS. UNLESS THIS PROPERTY IS DEED RESTRICTED, THEN WE MAY END UP WITH OR YOU MAY SELL THAT TRACK OFF THAT PAD, SITE OFF.

AND THAT CONTRACT AIN'T GOOD BECAUSE THERE'S NO DEED RESTRICTIONS. THE CITY WANTS A DEED RESTRICTION. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? SO FOREVER AND EVER UNTIL THE END OF TIME, YOU CAN'T PUT A WHATABURGER ON IT. ALTHOUGH I DO LIKE WHATABURGER. OF COURSE, AT ANY POINT IN THE FUTURE YOU CAN RELEASE IT. THEY COULD COME BACK AND ASK FOR THOSE DEED RESTRICTIONS TO BE LIFTED. THEY COULD. YOU COULD IF I THOUGHT IT WAS. IF THEY HAVE AN UPSCALE WHATABURGER, IT BECOMES STEAK WHATABURGER. MAYBE YOU MIGHT DO THAT. YES, THINGS CHANGE OVER TIME. YOU'VE GOT CONTROL OVER AT THAT POINT. YOU CAN ALWAYS RELEASE THAT RESTRICTION IF YOU SO CHOSE.

WELL, THE ONE THING WE HAVEN'T DISCUSSED, AND I THINK I THINK I KNOW THE ANSWER IS THIS NEW

[02:30:06]

AND THEN WE'LL I'LL TRY TO MAKE A CONSENSUS ON THAT. AND THEN YOU CAN FUSS AT ONE ANOTHER UNTIL YOU WANT TO, BECAUSE IT'S EASY TO CROSS THEM OUT AND ADVOCATE AT THAT POINT. NOW THAT'S JUST ME SAYING THAT AT THIS POINT. SO THERE'S NO NO CONSENSUS ESTABLISHED YET. I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA. AND I MOVE TO TABLE SECOND. I DON'T THINK DOING EMOTION IS SECOND TO LAST. OKAY. SORRY. I'M SORRY. I THOUGHT WE WERE WITH DIRECTION THAT YOU'LL GET US A LIST OF GR LIST USES THAT YOU DO NOT WANT AND THAT YOU WOULD ADD THOSE AS DEED RESTRICTIONS TO THE FUTURE CLOSING. I KNOW AFTER REVIEW THROUGH THE PROCESS THAT VICTOR HAS OUTLINED FOR YOU ABOUT 180 DAYS, THEY'VE GOT TO PROVIDE US WITH A DEVELOPMENT, BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE A DEVELOPMENT PLAN WITH A CAR WASH AND A MCDONALD'S. RIGHT? MR. COATES AND I CAN'T REMEMBER. IF WE'D EVER DISCUSSED. SO THEY THEY'RE WANTING TO BUY THE WHOLE PROPERTY, EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT SURE WHAT THEY'LL USE. THOSE OTHER. THAT WAS PART OF I, I RECALL THAT WAS PART OF YOUR REQUEST THAT THEY BUY THE WHOLE THING BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T WANT TO BE SITTING ON A TWO ACRE RETAIL SITE, A HOTEL ON IT. MAKE THEM BECAUSE THEY'LL MARKET IT. THEY'RE IN THAT BUSINESS ABOUT THAT, THAT THAT WAS AN OPTION. AT SOME POINT. IF WE WANTED TO DO THAT, WE COULD JUST SELL THEM THE HOTEL SITE AND THEN YOU CAN MARKET THE REST OF IT. BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO PAY 1,000,002 FOR OR 1,020,000 FOR. DO WE GO AHEAD? NO, THAT WAS MY QUESTION. IS, IS THE COUNCIL MORE COMFORTABLE IF WE JUST FOCUS ON THE HOTEL PARCEL? RIGHT. AND YOU ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT ON JUST THE SALE OF THAT PIECE WHERE THE PROPOSED RESIDENCE INN IS TO BE BUILT, AND THEN BRING YOU BACK A CONTRACT OPTION ON WHAT THAT INCLUDES, AS WELL AS THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THAT, LEAVING THE OTHER TWO PIECES SEPARATELY. WOULD THAT HELP? WOULD YOU, WOULD YOU WOULD YOU BE MORE COMFORTABLE? SAYING YOUR FEARS GO THROUGH THAT WHOLE ZONING PROCESS? I WOULD HAVE TO BE SURVEYED. YES. YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE SURVEYED AND PLATTED. SO WE CAN COULD WE CONSIDER BOTH WHAT WE'VE GOT TO WE'VE GOT A COST INVOLVED IN PLANNING OR SURVEYING IT AND SOME. YEAH. NO, I YEAH, I REALIZE THAT GOING THE WAY THAT YOU SUGGESTED, THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME ADDITIONAL COST AND I'M NOT UNFAVORABLE TO THAT. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO HANG ON TO WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW. SO WE HAVE AN OPTION A AND AN OPTION B TO SELL IT ALL OR TO NOT SELL AT ALL. IS THAT DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? HOW ABOUT WHAT IF VICTOR AND I TALKED WITH THE PURCHASER AND SEE IF WE CAN BRING YOU OPTIONS? MAYOR, I'M MORE IN FAVOR OF THE WHOLE PARCEL BECAUSE IT JUST LEAVES TWO LITTLE ENDS. AND YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, I THINK IT'S BETTER IF IT'S A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TYPE OPTION. OKAY, SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND MOTION A SECOND FOR TO TABLE IT AND COME BACK TO THE SECOND OPTION. NO, NO. NOW YOU'RE GOING TO CONFUSE US. NO. TO PROVIDE MR. HAGER WITH THE, THE DON'T WANT LIST I'LL REVIEW THE CURRENT CONTRACT. WE'LL ADD THE DEED RESTRICTION WITH THINGS YOU DON'T WANT AND ANY RECOMMENDATIONS THAT YOU HAVE IN ANY PART OF THE CONTRACT SO THAT. WELL, IT SHOULD SAY THE CITY. RIGHT. OKAY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AND I MEAN NO ILL WILL TOWARDS I DON'T KNOW THIS OTHER OTHER ATTORNEY, NO ILL WILL TOWARDS THEM. I JUST SINCE THE CITY OWNS IT, I'D LIKE TO SEE WHAT THE CITY ATTORNEY. I DON'T

[02:35:06]
