[00:00:01]

THINK. ALL RIGHT AT THIS POINT, MISTER. WE'RE WAITING ON MISTER HAGER. BUT WE WILL GET STARTED

[WORK SESSION / BRIEFING]

WE'VE ALSO BEEN HAVING QUITE A CONVERSATION ABOUT BUTTONS THAT YOU SEE ON THE STREETS IN THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE VERSUS STRIPES. IN A LOT OF OTHER COMMUNITIES, STRIPES ARE LESS EXPENSIVE THAN THE BUTTONS, BUT BUTTONS LAST LONGER. THERE'S SOME PROS AND CONS TO BOTH, TO BE QUITE HONEST. ONE OF THE BIG ASPECTS FOR STRIPING, IN MY EXPERIENCE, IS THAT YOU CAN REALLY LOOK AT TRAFFIC CALMING, REDUCING TRAVEL LANES A LITTLE BIT WHEN IT COMES TO THAT, SLOWING VEHICLES DOWN, THAT SORT OF THING. PUBLIC WORKS IS TELLING ME, IS THAT THEY REALLY NEED THE AUTHORIZATION FOR THIS, FOR THIS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH PROJECTS THAT ARE COMING UP IN THE PIPELINE RIGHT NOW. BUT I DO THINK, ESPECIALLY AS WE FINISH UP THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WE LOOK AT ZONING CHANGES, THAT THIS COMES BACK TO COUNCIL, FOR COUNCIL TO GIVE SOME DIRECTION ON WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE ON THE CITY STREETS. ARE YOU INTERESTED IN DOING MORE TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES, LIKE WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT WITH THE COMPLETE STREETS? AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS ARE, YOU KNOW, SOME AREAS THAT MAY BE APPROPRIATE FOR BUTTONS VERSUS STRIPES. AND WE'VE ALSO TALKED ABOUT REALLY THE NEED FOR DESIGN STANDARDS OF SOME OF OUR STREETS.

[00:05:03]

SO THIS SEPTEMBER. SO YOU KNOW I KNOW THAT'S GOING TO PROBABLY BE A TEMPORARY HEADQUARTERS AND THAT THAT LINE. SO I MEAN WHAT'S THE WHAT'S THE IT VIEW OR THERE. I MEAN ARE THEY THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE SOME IT WORKING THERE. SO WHAT WAS WHY IS THE MAIN REASON FOR THE TIE IN. THE TIE IN.

THEY, THEY HAVE AN INTERNET CONNECTION OF THEIR OWN INTERNET CIRCUIT PROVIDED BY AT&T. THEY DON'T GET SOME OF THE CITY SERVICES INTO SOME OF OUR CITY SERVERS DIRECTLY. WE DON'T HAVE OUR CAMERA SYSTEM AND ACCESS CONTROL TIED IN DIRECTLY. THIS WILL ALLOW US TO THEY'RE ESSENTIALLY IN THE CITY TO ALL THE RESOURCES. ADDITIONALLY, WE WILL STILL MAINTAIN THAT AT&T CONNECTION, BUT IT WILL BE A FAILOVER IN CASE WE LOSE INTERNET CONNECTION. HERE AT THE DATA CENTER, WE WILL AUTOMATICALLY FAILOVER TO THEIR INTERNET LINE. AND THE REASON WE'RE DOING THAT IS BECAUSE IT'S ALSO OUR EOC. SO IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN CITYWIDE AND WE'RE IN THE EOC FOR AN EMERGENCY, WE HAVE DEDICATED SEPARATE FROM THE CITY IF NECESSARY. AND YOU MAKE A GOOD POINT BETWEEN THE PARKS BUILDING, MAYBE A TEMPORARY SOLUTION. SO WE HAVE RUN THIS CABLE TO WHERE IF WE DO SELL THAT BUILDING OR DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT WITH THAT BUILDING, THE CITY DOES NOT OCCUPY IT. WE WILL STILL MAINTAIN THIS CONNECTION OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING, AWAY FROM THE PARKS BUILDING. WE CAN WE CAN ESSENTIALLY SELL IT AND STILL MAINTAIN THAT CONNECTION BACK HERE. SO WE'VE ENGINEERED IT IN THAT WAY. CLAYTON, YOU SAID TODAY, BUT REALLY, JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, FOR EVERYBODY, THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS REALLY TO GET THE INTERNET AND THE NETWORK TO THE NEW FIRE STATION. THAT'S WHAT IS ACTUALLY THAT IS THE KEY. YEAH. NEW FIRE STATION GETTING IT CONNECTIVITY WITH THE REST OF THE CITY FACILITIES. IT WAS ABOUT 100 FOOT SLACK ON BOTH ENDS FOR THE FIBER CONNECTION.

SO IT WAS 100 FOOT SLACK JUST IN CASE IT NEEDED TO EXTEND A LITTLE FURTHER. YEAH. AND IN THE BOX THERE'S LIKE A HANDHOLD IN THE BOX. AND SO IN CASE THERE, YOU KNOW, SQUIRRELS OR SOMEONE HITS A POLE OR SOMETHING, WE HAVE THE SLACK ALREADY THERE. WE DON'T HAVE TO PULL THEM BACK OUT. EXACTLY. WHICH IS OKAY. OKAY. THE NEXT ITEM 40 CONSIDER RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE RULES OF PROCEDURE. THIS IS YOUR ANNUAL THIS IS YOUR ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING. BY THE WAY. EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT I KNOW. BUT SO THIS IS THE ANNUAL ADOPTION OF THE RULES OF PROCEDURE. ON THAT JUST A NOTE AND REQUEST. THERE'S A LITTLE BIT IN THERE ABOUT THE COMMISSIONS AND I'D LIKE FOR US TO LOOK AT THE CODE OF CONDUCT AND. RULES PROCEDURES FOR THAT. I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'VE DONE THAT. THAT'S SOMETHING I'D LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT. FUTURE. YES, SIR. MR. PENNYBAKER, JUST

[00:10:06]

BUT AGAIN, IT'S JUST THESE ARE ALL THE POLICIES THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PAST YEAR.

TECHNICALLY, THIS IS A NEW COUNCIL. SO IT'S A REAFFIRMATION OF THOSE POLICIES. AND I KNOW THAT MR. JACKSON IS STILL WORKING ON A COUPLE OF MORE TO BRING TO YOU. SO WE WANT TO GET THOSE ONCE WE'RE DONE WITH ALL THOSE KIND OF ALL IN A GROUP TOGETHER SO THAT WE HAVE ALL THOSE. YES, SIR. CAN I GET AN EXPLANATION FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY ABOUT THIS? AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE DOING, BUT JUST AS FAR AS RE ADOPTING RESOLUTION TO RE ADOPT POLICIES THAT WE'VE ALREADY ADOPTED. SO IT'S JUST AN AFFIRMATION. IT'S NOT. SO EVEN IF WE DIDN'T DO THIS, THOSE POLICIES DON'T AFFECT THE REPEAL. SO IT'S NOT NECESSARY THAT WE DO THIS I DON'T BELIEVE LEGALLY BUT BUT I DO UNDERSTAND WHY WE'RE DOING THIS. IT SERVES AS A REFRESHER TO REMIND. OKAY CONCLUDES THE. OKAY. MOVE ON TO ITEM TWO. CITY COUNCIL CALENDAR. CITY SECRETARY OKAY. THANK YOU MADAM. JUNE CALENDAR. ON JUNE 5TH, WE HAVE A ZBA MEETING AT 7 P.M. JUNE 9TH, WE HAVE THE PNC MEETING AT SEVEN IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS. WE I HAVE A QUESTION MARK ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS FOR INTERVIEWS FOR DC, EDC AND TIF BOARD ON JUNE THE 10TH, AFTER POLLING COUNCIL, JUNE 10TH DOES WORK FOR EVERYONE. ONLY THING IS, THE MEETING WOULD HAVE TO START AT SIX AT 6 OR 630 AT THE EARLIEST. COUNCILMEMBER CAN'T BE HERE TILL 630. AND CURRENTLY WE HAVE ABOUT TEN INTERVIEWS FOR BOTH BOARDS. BEEN HERE ABOUT TWO HOURS. YES, IT'LL BE THREE. OKAY, OKAY. SO WE'LL DO 6:00 ON THE ON THE 10TH FOR DC, DC. AND THAT'S THE FIELD OF VACANCIES OKAY. AND ALSO ON JUNE THE 13TH. THE 13TH IS THE JUNETEENTH WELCOME RECEPTION JUNE 14TH. AND THAT'S IN DESOTO JUNE 14TH IS THE BEST SOUTHWEST JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION AT SIXTH AND DESOTO AT GRIMES PARK ON JUNE 19TH IS THE JUNETEENTH HOLIDAY. SO CITY CITY OFFICES WILL BE CLOSED THAT DAY ON 20, ON THE 20, AND ALSO ON JUNE 17TH, THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. IF COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO HAVE NEW COUNCIL PHOTOS, LET ME KNOW. WOULD YOU GROUP PHOTOS? I LIKE TAKING PHOTOS. I'M NOT OPPOSED TO IT AND I'M ASKING BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME COUNCIL AS LAST YEAR. CAN WE JUST PHOTOSHOP? SO HOW MANY WANT TO DO NEW PHOTOS? OKAY, I WILL DO THE PHOTO SO I CAN COME UP AND DO OUR. WE DO HAVE A PHOTOGRAPHER COMING ON THE 17TH. IF YOU WOULD LIKE NEW PHOTOS, JUST YOUR OWN PERSONAL PHOTO. IF YOU LIKE A NEW ONE, SHE CAN TAKE ONE. THAT DAY BEFORE THE COUNCIL MEETING, THEY WILL START AT 4:00 SO JUST LET ME KNOW SO I KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE SHE'LL BE PHOTOGRAPHING.

OKAY, SO RIGHT NOW FOR THE RECORD, WE HAVE TO TWO. OKAY, OKAY. WE'LL CONTINUE TO USE THE CURRENT THE CURRENT GROUP PHOTO OKAY. ALL RIGHT. NICE. YEAH. IT KEEPS ME YOUNGER. THANK YOU. ON JUNE 26TH WE HAVE THE PRELIMINARY BUDGET WORKSHOP. AND MISS ODIE ASKED ME TO CO COUNCIL TO SEE IF 3:00 IF WE COULD DO THAT AT 3:00 OR OR 4:00. 4:00 WILL PROBABLY WORK BEST FOR ME BECAUSE WE ALSO HAVE THE COUNCIL RETREAT ON THE 27TH. CORRECT. AND THAT'S WHAT, 9 TO 1? 9 TO 1.

[00:15:08]

THAT'S RIGHT. IT. YEAH. IS IT ON THE WEBSITE? YES, SIR. YES. THANK YOU. OKAY, SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEM THREE BRIEFING PRESENTATION. CITY MANAGER, DO YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD? LET US KNOW THE PRESENTATION. SURE. SO THE FIRST ONE PRESENTATION ON THE CURRENT CITY OF DUNCANVILLE ALARM SYSTEM ORDINANCE. AND ACTUALLY WE HAVE CHIEF KENNEALY AND CHIEF STOGNER THE CHIEF. THIS CAME AS A RESULT OF SOME QUESTIONS I KNOW THAT SOME OF YOU HAD RECEIVED ABOUT RESIDENTS GETTING AN ANNUAL BILL FOR A PERMIT FOR THE ALARM CITY, SO. HI. GOOD EVENING, GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY. YEAH, I REALIZED I DON'T HAVE A MICROPHONE SO I HAVE TO SPEAK SO LOUD. SO AS MR. FINCH SAID, THIS IS ESSENTIALLY JUST A HIGH LEVEL VIEW OF OUR ORDINANCE.

ULTIMATELY, HOW WE STARTED THIS BACK IN 2003, WE ADOPTED THIS. THE REASON WHY WE ADOPTED IT IS THE LEGISLATION CHANGED. THE WHAT HAPPENED IS, I BELIEVE IT WAS GOVERNOR PERRY AT THE TIME ENACTING LEGISLATION THAT ALLOWS MUNICIPALITIES TO ENFORCE FALSE ALARMS. A BECAUSE A LOT OF THESE ALARMS NEEDED TO BE MODERNIZED. BUT TWO, JUST BECAUSE OF THE STRESS AND THE BURDEN THAT IT GIVES US, RESPONDING TO CONTINUOUS FALSE ALARMS. AND I'LL TELL YOU, WHEN THIS FIRST WAS ADOPTED, THE HIGH SCHOOL WAS OUR BIGGEST VIOLATOR. AND WE WOULD RESPOND EVERY TIME, ESPECIALLY IF YOU. SO IF YOU HAVE AN OPEN DOOR AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, WELL, THEN YOU HAVE TO SEARCH THAT ENTIRE BUILDING TO ENSURE NO ONE'S IN IT. SO THAT TAKES HOURS AT THAT POINT. AND A LOT OF TIMES IT WAS, I SAY 99% OF THE TIME IT WAS A FALSE ALARM. SO WHAT THIS ORDINANCE REQUIRED IS ANYONE WITH A MONITORED ALARM HAS TO, WHETHER IT'S RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL, HAS TO APPLY FOR ALARM PERMIT. NOW, WE DON'T HAVE THE STAFF, THE APPROPRIATE STAFF TO HAVE SOMEBODY SPECIFICALLY ASSIGNED TO DEAL WITH ALARM PERMITS, FALSE ALARMS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. SO WE CONTRACT WITH CENTRAL SQUARE AND IT'S A SUBSIDIARY OF CENTRAL SQUARE.

IT'S CALLED CRY WOLF. CRY WOLF DOES ALL OF THIS. SO AND NOW THERE HAS TO BE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN US AND THEM OBVIOUSLY. SO OUR ANNUAL ALARM PERMIT FEE IS $35 FOR BOTH RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL. WE'LL GET INTO A LITTLE BIT OF THAT HERE IN A MINUTE, BUT THEY MUST REGISTER THE ALARM WITHIN 60 DAYS OF INSTALLATION. OR IF IT'S A RENTAL HOUSE OR A NEW HOMEOWNER, THEY HAVE TO REGISTER IT WITHIN THAT TIME FRAME. THEY ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE, AND YOU'RE ALLOWED THREE WITHIN A 12 MONTH PERIOD SO IT DOESN'T GO BY CALENDAR YEAR. IT'S THE DAY THAT YOU SIGN UP FOR YOUR PERMIT. THAT'S THAT CALENDAR YEAR, ESSENTIALLY. THAT'S THE YEAR THAT IT STARTS.

SO THE TYPES OF ALARMS THAT WE REQUIRE REGISTRATION FROM IS BURGLAR ALARM, FIRE ALARM, ROBBERY ALARM, PANIC ALARM, LOCAL ALARM, EMERGENCY MEDICAL ALARM. NOW THERE'S A DIFFERENCE.

I THINK A LOT OF US IN THIS ROOM PROBABLY HAVE THESE RING CAMERAS OR SOME OTHER FORM OF. AND YOU PROBABLY DON'T HAVE AN ALARM COMPANY MONITORING YOUR RESIDENCE. THAT'S THE

[00:20:02]

WE JUST SIGNED A FIVE YEAR CONTRACT WITH THEM BACK IN JANUARY. TO HELP US MONITOR THIS. SO AS OF APRIL 14TH, THERE'S 3200 REGISTERED ALARM PERMITS IN THE CITY. YOU MIGHT PASSING THAT AROUND AND WE'LL GET INTO THAT IN A SECOND. SO THE TABLE BELOW IT ACTIVE ALARM SOON TO EXPIRE. WE HAVE 285 COMMERCIAL AND 15 RESIDENTIAL. AND THEN GOING THROUGH I'M NOT GOING TO READ ALL OF THIS TO YOU GUYS. IT'S THERE. SO OBVIOUSLY WHEN THEY RENEW THEY DON'T RENEW TO US. THEY RENEW. THEY USE A LINK AND THEY RENEW WITH CRY WOLF IN CENTRAL SQUARE. NOW IN THAT CONTRACT, OF COURSE, THEY HAVE TO GET THEIR POUND OF FLESH AND THEY GET 19%. AND WE ARE NOW GETTING THE 81%. SO THAT'S WHERE THEY GET THEIR THEIR MONEY. WE DON'T PAY THEM A MONTHLY SERVICE. NONE OF THAT. AND IT COMES FROM THESE FEES. SO OUR CALL HISTORY YEAR TO DATE WE, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS RESPONDED TO 573. AND AGAIN, I'M NOT GOING TO READ ALL OF THIS.

BUT THE MAIN THING IS 1600 ALARMS. THAT'S 1600 TIMES THAT WE COULD BE DOING SOMETHING ELSE. AND I'M NOT SAYING ALL OF THESE ALARMS WERE FALSE, BUT IT'S A LOT OF ALARMS. IN ADDITION TO THAT, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, THEY RESPONDING TO 554. AND IF IT'S A FIRE ALARM I'M ASSUMING BOTH STATIONS RESPOND TO IT POTENTIALLY. BUT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ENGINES, BIG EQUIPMENT. AND NOW YOU'RE PUTTING THOSE ENGINES BECAUSE THEY'RE RUNNING LIGHTS AND SIRENS. MAYBE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. SO THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT COULD HAPPEN ON FALSE ALARMS. SO WE'RE TRYING TO MITIGATE IT AS MUCH AS WE CAN DO THIS ORDINANCE. SO HERE'S THE PERMIT FEES. SO DUNCANVILLE US OURS IS A FLAT $35. WHEREAS DESOTO AND CEDAR HILL THEY HAVE A DIFFERENCE IF IT'S A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OR IF IT'S A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. NOW YOU'LL SEE THE FALSE ALARM FEES. THEY'RE ACTUALLY ON THE NEXT SLIDE TOO. SO I'M GOING TO JUMP A SLIDE. SO OUR FALSE ALARM FEES, THEY'RE ALL IN LINE WITH EACH OTHER WITH ALL OF OUR PARTNERS. NOW HERE'S THE DIFFERENCE DESOTO. THEY FIND A BUSINESS $100 ON A ROBBERY ALARM, WHICH I THINK IS GREAT BECAUSE WHEN WE RESPOND TO A ROBBERY ALARM, WE CAN'T ASSUME THAT IT'S A FAKE ALARM. SO WE ARE RUNNING LIGHTS AND SIRENS TO THAT LOCATION, AND IT'S PRETTY MUCH EVERYBODY WHO'S IN A SQUAD CAR AND CID IS ON DAYS WE'LL GO THINGS OF THAT NATURE. SO YOU ARE PULLING A LOT OF RESOURCES AND A LOT OF TIMES THEY'RE FALSE. CURRENTLY THAT'S WHAT THEY WOULD PAY. SO CEDAR HILL HAS A $250 NON-PERMITTED LICENSE FEE. AGAIN, IF THEY RESPOND AND THE ALARM ISN'T PERMITTED, THAT'S WHAT THEY CHARGE. AND CEDAR HILL ALSO HAS AN EXCLUSION OF AN ALARM, WHICH MEANS THAT THE RESIDENT CAN SAY, HEY, LISTEN, I DON'T WANT YOU GUYS TO RESPOND. I'M NOT PAYING. THIS IS SIMPLY TO HOPEFULLY DETER THEM ONCE THE SIREN GOES OFF. SO THAT'S WHAT CEDAR HILL HAS AS WELL. SO MY RECOMMENDATIONS IS INCREASE THE PERMIT FEES FOR COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES TO $100 PER CALENDAR YEAR, AND SEPARATE AND INCREASE THE FALSE ALARM FOR ANY ROBBERY ALARM TO $150 PER OCCURRENCE, WITH AN INCREASING $50 FOR EACH FALSE ALARM IN A CALENDAR YEAR. THAT'S. COULD YOU PUT IT BACK ON THIS ONE? YES, ABSOLUTELY. SO. AGAIN, ROBBERY

[00:25:07]

AND THIS RESIDENT DIDN'T HAVE ANY FALSE ALARMS OF RECORD AND DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WERE BEING CHARGED A FALSE ALARM FEE. SO YEAH, I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THAT. THAT'S IS THAT DESIRABLE? SO IT COULD BE. SO IT COULD BE THE ANNUAL FEE OR TITLE. WRONG. SO IF THE ALARM FEE IS FOR HAVING THE ALARM WHICH I GET RIGHT. AND WHY WE DO IT BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO PAY THE THIRD PARTY THEN. IS THERE A WAY THAT THEY CAN GO IN AND MAKE SURE IT IS TITLED CORRECTLY? SO IT'S NOT SAYING FALSE ALARM FEE, BECAUSE IF I GET SOMETHING THAT SAYS FALSE ALARM FEE AND I DON'T HAVE A FALSE ALARM EVER, THEN RATHER $35 A NIGHT, I WOULD QUESTION IT ABSOLUTELY WAS OF COURSE, WAS THAT CONFIRMED THAT THAT WAS POSTED INCORRECTLY IF QUERY REGARDING THE CITY ORDINANCE, THE ANNUAL REQUIRED FEE OF $35. DUNCANVILLE RESIDENT TO DUNCANVILLE FALSE ALARM REDUCTION PROGRAM IS WHAT IT'S CALLED. SO I THINK THAT WHAT THAT IS, IS ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS REDUCE OUR FALSE ALARMS. SO MAYBE OUR PROGRAM MAY BE CALLED SOMETHING THAT INSTEAD OF SAYING, HEY, IT'S JUST A PERMIT, THAT'S CRY WOLF, RIGHT? YEAH. THAT'S THE ENTITLEMENT. SO IS THERE A WAY WE CAN COMMUNICATE TO THEM? BECAUSE ABSOLUTELY. I'VE SEEN I'VE SEEN THESE BEFORE SEVERAL TIMES. IT'S LIKE, WAIT A MINUTE. AND YOU CALL THEM, THEY'LL STRAIGHTEN IT OUT. THAT'S, THAT'S THAT'S THE THIRD PARTY. TITLE. NOT NOT THE CITY. RIGHT.

SO CAN WE CONTACT THIRD PARTY AND HAVE THEM TO REPORT IT ACCURATELY? SO IT'S UNDERSTOOD WITH CITIZENS, OF COURSE, WE'LL HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH THEM. AND IF THEY HAVE THE ALARM THEN IT IS JUST $35 FOR THE FEE OF HAVING THE ALARM. YES. AND WHAT I'LL DO IS I'LL HAVE THEM SEND ME THE INFORMATION THAT THEY SEND OUT SO I CAN CONFIRM EVERYTHING'S DONE. ABSOLUTELY.

WOULD YOU LET ME. WOULD YOU FOLLOW UP WITH ME? YES, MA'AM. ABSOLUTELY. I'LL SEND IT TO YOU.

OKAY. PERFECT. CAN I BORROW ONE OF THESE CARDS REAL QUICK? HERE. ARE YOU GUYS. SO WHEN WE RESPOND

[00:30:06]

HOW DOES CRY WOLF NOW THROUGH THE PERMITTING. SO WHEN THEY OBTAIN A PERMIT, THEY HAVE IT FOR THAT CALENDAR YEAR. AND ANY FALSE ALARMS. SO ULTIMATELY OUR CAD AND THEIR BACK END TO THEIR COMPUTER SYSTEM SUPPOSED TO INTEGRATE. BUT IT DOESN'T. IT WILL ONCE WE GET TYLER. SO THEN THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE A LOT OF COMMUNICATION BECAUSE CRY WOLF BE ABLE TO PULL THAT INFORMATION FROM OUR CAD IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT US HAVING TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEM. THANK YOU. OF COURSE.

ANYTHING ELSE? ALL RIGHT. LET'S MOVE ON TO ITEM B TWO. DONE. SO THE NEXT ONE, CITY COUNCIL RECEIVE A BRIEFING ON THE PAVEMENT CONDITION COLLECTION INVENTORY, DISCUSS INFORMATION, PROVIDE DIRECTION IF NECESSARY, AND ASSISTANT PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR SHEHAB MUHAMMAD, WE DO HAVE A PRESENTATION. THANK YOU. EXECUTIVE SESSION. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR, COUNCIL AND STAFF. THIS IS CHAD MUHAMMAD, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS. AND TODAY I'LL BE COVERING UP THE NEW DATA ANALYSIS WE RECEIVED FROM THE PAVEMENT CONDITION ANALYSIS THAT HAD HAPPENED AT THE END OF 2024. AND THE REPORT WAS SUBMITTED TO US EARLY THIS RECENTLY, THIS YEAR, AFTER WE HAVE WORKED ON THE RESULTS, TO PUT TOGETHER A FORECAST AND ANALYSIS FOR THE PAVEMENT CONDITION FOR DUNCANVILLE. NOW WE HAVE DONE INVENTORY COLLECTION AS WELL. SO WE'VE WORKED WITHIN THIS ON INVENTORY COLLECTION FOR ADAMS, FOR SIDEWALKS AND FOR. TRAFFIC SIGNS AND SIGNALS. TODAY WE'RE GOING TO GIVE AN INTRODUCTION AND TALK ABOUT THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS PROGRAM AND DOING THIS. THE METHODOLOGY THAT WE CARRIED IN COLLECTING THE DATA. WE'RE GOING TO GIVE SOME SPECIFIC DATA ABOUT THE INVENTORY AND THE CONDITION AS IT STANDS TODAY FOR DIFFERENT PAYMENT TYPES AND FOR STREETS, ALLEYS MORE FOCUSED ON STREETS AND ALLEYS. AND ALSO A COMPARISON WITH THE PREVIOUS DATA THAT WAS CARRIED AND COLLECTED TEN YEARS AGO. SO SOME BACKGROUND DATA WE HAVE. WE HAVE SELECT WE BASICALLY DO, AS YOU ALL KNOW, A LIST OF STREETS FOR MAINTENANCE EVERY SINGLE YEAR. AND THE SELECTION OF THOSE STREETS BASICALLY SHOULD WHETHER IT HAS BEEN DONE THAT WAY BEFORE OR NOT. BUT IT SHOULD COME OUT OF, YOU KNOW, THE ANALYSIS THAT IS CARRIED THROUGH THE PROCESS AND IT SHOULD BE BASED ON THE DATA THAT WAS COLLECTED FOR THOSE STREETS. NOW, IN NOVEMBER OF 2023, THE CITY COUNCIL HAS AUTHORIZED THE SERVICES THROUGH A CONSULTANT CALLED ICC IMS, TO COLLECT THE DATA. AND THE CONDITION ASSESSMENT HAPPENED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR OF 2024, AND THE DATA ANALYSIS REPORT AND THE RESULTS WERE WE WORKED ON IT TOGETHER TO BE SUBMITTED, AND WE GOT IT IN THE YEAR OF 2025. NOW, HERE'S SOME OF THE INTRODUCTION THAT THAT I WANTED TO SHOW. CURRENTLY, THE PCI CATEGORIES THAT WE HAVE OR THE RANGES OF THE PCI RANGES FROM WHAT IT WOULD WHAT IS WHICH IS THE PAVEMENT CONDITION INDEX RANGES FROM EXCELLENT TO VERY POOR BASED ON A NUMBER OR A SCORE THAT THIS STREET GETS BY THE WHEN THE DATA IS COLLECTED. AND IT'S OUT OF 100 IN TOTAL. NOW IN THE DETAILED REPORT THAT YOU

[00:35:04]

SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT PAVEMENT, IT REALLY IN THEIR LIFE, THEY TEND AT SOME POINT PHYSICALLY TO REALLY START HAVING WORSE DROPS OR MORE RAPID DROPS IN THEIR CONDITION INDEX ABOUT MIDLIFE.

SO WE REALLY THE FOCUS IS REALLY TO TRY TO SPEND MONEY ON EXTENDING THE LIFE OF THOSE PAVEMENTS EARLY IN THIS OR EXTENDED THIS AREA OF THE LIFE OF THE PAVEMENT RATHER THAN GETTING HERE BECAUSE, YOU SEE, THERE IS A QUICK DROP COMPARED TO HERE WHEN IT HITS MIDLIFE USUALLY, AND THAT'S WHEN YOU REACH, YOU KNOW, RECONSTRUCTION. AND THAT'S REALLY IS A DIFFERENT DOLLAR, COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DOLLAR ESTIMATE COMPARED TO MAINTENANCE TREATMENTS. NOW FOR STREETS, INVENTORY AND CONDITION. THE DATA BASED ON THE RECENT DATA COLLECTED, YOU CAN SEE THAT HOW THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE PAVEMENTS AS FAR AS STREET IS SPLIT BETWEEN.

EXCELLENT, VERY GOOD, FAIR AND GOOD, MARGINAL, POOR AND VERY POOR. NOW THE CITY OVERALL NETWORK PCI IS STANDS AT 73, WHICH IS GOOD CONDITION, BASICALLY VERY GOOD CONDITION OVERALL. OF COURSE THIS IS AN OVERALL CONDITION. INDEX IS NOT IS AN AVERAGE OF EVERY CITY STREET. THE BREAKDOWN OF THE INVENTORY? WE HAVE A TOTAL OF 165 LANE MILES. AND THE MAJORITY OF OUR STREETS ARE ASPHALT STREETS COMPARED TO CONCRETE STREETS. AND WE DO HAVE WE BROKE IT DOWN FOR ARTERIAL LOCAL. AND YOU SEE THAT MAJORITY OF OUR STREETS ARE ALSO ASPHALT.

STREETS ARE LOCAL STREETS. SO MAJORITY OF THE ARTERIALS HERE ARE CONCRETE PAVEMENT. YES, SIR.

COULD YOU DEFINE LANE MILES? LANE MILES IS A ONE MILE LANE OR ONE MILE OF ONE LANE OF A STREET BASICALLY. AND THAT'S REALLY THE GENERAL MEASUREMENT THAT IS BEING USED AS REALLY A UNIT FOR MEASURING STREETS, RATHER THAN IT COULD BE FEET. IT COULD BE WE DO HAVE THE DATA IN DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF IT, BUT THE STANDARD INDUSTRY USE IS LANE MILE, WHICH IS BASICALLY ONE MILE PER ONE LANE OF THE STREET. SO WE HAVE STRETCH ONE MILE, THAT'S THREE LANES WIDE. THAT'S THREE LANE MILES JUST WITHIN THAT ONE MILE. OKAY. THANK YOU. SO WE HAVE FOUND THAT THERE IS A BACKLOG OF 7% AS IT STANDS TODAY, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF THESE. AND THAT 7% BACKLOG IS REALLY A PCI OF 40 AND UNDER, WHICH IS REALLY A FAILED STREET. AND THOSE FAILED STREETS ARE NOT REALLY STREETS THAT CAN BE IMPROVED USING ANY OF THE MAINTENANCES THAT WE USE USING GENERAL FUNDS IN GENERAL.

THOSE ARE GOING TO BE CONSIDERED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS TO BE ADDRESSED. HERE ARE SOME OF THE SCENARIOS WE COULD RUN TO LOOK AT THE FORECAST AND HOW THE CITY COULD PERFORM BASED ON DIFFERENT BUDGET ANALYSIS. WE HAVE ASSUMED AND PUT IN HERE. IF WE TARGET A PCI OF 80, LET'S SAY, AND WE HAVE A ZERO BACKLOG, OUR GOAL IS LIKE TO REDUCE OUR BACKLOG AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. SO IF WE SAY A ZERO BACKLOG, WE ARE EXPECTING A $5.3 MILLION PER YEAR TO BE SPENT ON THE CITY STREETS FOR THE UPCOMING FIVE YEARS TO BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THAT. NOW, IF WE WANT TO SAY THAT'S REALLY OUTSIDE OF THE CITY'S ABILITY TO ADDRESS, HOW ABOUT WE DO A MAINTAIN OUR CURRENT PCI OVERALL NETWORK OF 73 AND KEEP IT AS IS FOR THE UPCOMING FIVE YEARS? WHILE THE STREETS ARE DETERIORATING, YOU KNOW THAT YOU STILL HAVE TO INVEST MORE MONEY. SO THAT'S GOING TO BE A $2.9 MILLION PER YEAR. WHEN WE LOOK AT THE PCI AND WE JUST HAVE, YOU KNOW, A

[00:40:10]

COULD YOU GO BACK TO SLIDE 29? YES. OKAY. SO YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT UNDER 40 WAS 40 AND UNDER.

YES. WAS SOME POINT OF FAILURE AND FAIR. IS THAT 50 TO 60 RANGE? SO WHEN I LOOK OVER THERE, YOU GOT WHAT 3%, 4%, 4% POOR, POOR AND MARGINAL. RIGHT. SO WOULD THOSE NOT BE THE PRIORITIES THAT YOU'D BE LOOKING AT? I REALIZE ON THE, ON THE SLIDE THAT ON SLIDE 30 YOU MAY HAVE ANSWERED THAT, BUT I GOT LOST THERE. WOULD THOSE BE RECOMMENDED TO BE THE FIRST STREETS WE LOOK AT. BECAUSE THOSE THOSE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED, RIGHT. YEAH, SURE.

THOSE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED, BUT THOSE HAVE TO BE REPLACED AS A RECONSTRUCTION. SO THESE ARE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT MAINTENANCE PROJECTS THAT WE'RE WE'RE SPENDING THE BUDGET ON, MAINLY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TREATMENTS LIKE BETWEEN LIGHT AND MODERATE, LIKE PREVENTATIVE OR, YOU KNOW, MAINTENANCE, BETWEEN TALKING ABOUT RESURFACING, TALKING ABOUT MILAN OVERLAYS. AND WE TALK ABOUT MICROSERVICES AS WELL. IS THAT CRACK SEALING? CRACK SEALING, OF COURSE, IS CRACKED. SEALING IS REALLY A PREPARATION TO MICRO MICRO SURFACING. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO DO CRACK SEALING ON ITS OWN BECAUSE IT MAKES THE STREETS LOOK UGLY ACTUALLY. BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THEM. BUT IT DOES HELP THE STREET, BUT IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE IT LOOK GOOD. SO WITH THAT, WE DO CRACK SEAL AND COME ON TOP OF IT WITH A MICRO SURFACE IS THE IDEAL CASE. BUT THAT'S BUT THAT'S A PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE. THAT'S A MAINTENANCE. WE APPLY IT 4 TO 5 YEARS AGE OF THE STREET TO JUST EXTEND ITS LIFE AND KEEP IT IN GOOD SHAPE AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. NOW MILAN OVERLAY CAN BE APPLIED TO MORE OF THE STREETS THAT ARE IN THE 50 TO THE 60 RANGE OF PCI, FOR EXAMPLE, BECAUSE THAT'S LIKE WE'RE MILLING, WE MIGHT HAVE SOME SUB BASE REPAIRS AND IT'S STILL OVERLAYING AND IT COULD WORK. BUT BUT WHEN YOU HIT THAT LEVEL OF LIKE 40 AND UNDER, WHEN YOU'RE IN THAT RANGE, YOU'RE REALLY AT THE SANDWICH THAT WE TALKED ABOUT THAT THE CRACKS ARE DEEP IN THE PAVEMENT, THAT YOU'RE AT A POINT TO WHERE YOU HAVE TO REDO EVERYTHING AND TO THE DOLLAR. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT JUMPING FROM, LET'S SAY, THE HIGHEST MAINTENANCE COST COULD BE LIKE ABOUT 400,000 PER LANE MILE TO A RECONSTRUCTION COST OF A 1.2 TO $2.3 MILLION PER LANE MILE. SO BUT TO YOU SPECIFICALLY TO YOUR QUESTION ABOUT SAYING, WHY DON'T WE DO THIS? FIRST, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT LIKE WORST FIRST, IT COULD BE AN APPROACH THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT HAS BEEN THAT PROBABLY BEEN DONE LONG AGO IN THE PAST, WHERE, OKAY, THESE ARE THE WORST STREETS. LET'S DO THEM FIRST. BUT WE'RE DOING THEM FOR WE'RE WE TALKED ABOUT PUTTING THE LIPSTICK ON THE, ON THE PIG KIND OF SITUATION THAT WE HAVE DEALT WITH FOR A LONG TIME, WHERE WE'RE DOING TREATMENTS THAT ARE NOT SUITABLE, NOT IN THE RIGHT TIME, NOT IN THE RIGHT PLACE, BECAUSE WE JUST WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE IT WAS, YOU KNOW, DEVELOPED. BUT BUT TO AVOID THAT, WE HAVE IN THIS ANALYSIS, WE HAVE LOOKED AT MULTIPLE FACTORS TO PRIORITIZE THE STREETS TO DO FIRST, LIKE IN FIRST YEAR, FOR EXAMPLE. SO IT WAS A COMBINATION OF LOOKING AT THE STRENGTH OF THE PAVEMENT LOOKING. SO WE CREATED A PRIORITY SCORE BASED ON LOOKING AT THE STRENGTHS OF THE PAVEMENT AND THE PAVEMENT TYPE. SO WE DO HAVE MORE ASPHALT THAN CONCRETE. SO WE ASSIGNED A LITTLE MORE SCORE TO ASPHALT THAN CONCRETE TO SELECT MORE ASPHALT THAN CONCRETE. CONCRETE IS STRONGER THAN ASPHALT. SO WE HAVE GIVEN CONCRETE LIST SCORE THAN ASPHALT BECAUSE WE CAN PICK WE WANT TO PRIORITIZE MORE ASPHALT BECAUSE OF THAT. FOR EXAMPLE, THE USE THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE STREET. IS IT LOCAL OR ARTERIAL

[00:45:08]

OUR ARTERIALS ARE CONCRETE STREETS, SO THEY PERFORM BETTER IN GENERAL ON THE ANALYSIS. YES, THEY DID PERFORM BETTER ON THE ANALYSIS. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. SURE. SO FOR ALLEYS INVENTORY AND THIS IS REALLY MOVING TO ALLEYS. WE HAVE DONE THE SAME ANALYSIS ON ALLEYS. AND AS YOU SEE THE WAY OUR ALLEYS LOOK LIKE AND OUR OVERALL NETWORK PCI FOR ALLEYS IS 65.

AND SO OUR ALLEYS ARE IN WORSE SHAPE THAN, THAN STREETS. AND THAT'S NORMAL. AND THAT'S THAT'S REALLY SOMETHING THAT IS IN GENERAL HAPPENING. AND MAJORITY OF THE CITY'S INVESTMENTS FOR ALLEYS ARE LESS THAN INVESTMENTS FOR STREETS. AND HOWEVER, THE WORST ALLEYS OR THE PERCENTAGE JUST HAPPENED TO BE ALSO A 7% FOR RECONSTRUCTION OR THE DEFERRED MAINTENANCE TO MAJOR MAINTENANCE OR BASICALLY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT IS 7%. HERE ARE SOME OF THE AREAS. ARE THE UNIMPROVED EASEMENTS ALLEYS CONSIDERED WITH THIS WHERE YOU JUST HAVE A DIRT EASEMENT? BASICALLY, NO, BECAUSE THOSE DIRT YOU CANNOT CREATE A SCORE FOR A DIRT PAVEMENT. AND BECAUSE REALLY THE ANALYSIS THAT WAS DONE IS THERE HAS TO BE A PAVEMENT TO BE ABLE TO, TO USE THAT THOSE LASER POINTS TO COLLECT THE DATA AND BE ACCURATE OR AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE. IS THERE A WAY THAT WE WOULD CONSIDER THAT OR LOOK AT THOSE AS POTENTIAL PROJECTS? I MEAN, THEY'RE PROBABLY A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AT THAT LEVEL, BUT WE CAN DO IS WE CAN LOOK AT THOSE PROJECTS TO FIND THE INVENTORY SEPARATELY. WE LOOK AT HOW MANY ALLEYS DO WE HAVE THAT ARE UNIMPROVED DIRT.

AND THEN WE HAVE TO ESTIMATE AND WHICH IS A SEPARATE PROGRAM THAT WE CAN CARRY, ESTIMATE HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO COST TO TURN THOSE UNIMPROVED ALLEYS INTO IMPROVED ALLEYS. AND WE CAN CARRY THAT AS A SEPARATE PROGRAM, NOT ONLY GOING TO CONFUSE EVERYBODY ON THIS ISSUE, BECAUSE THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ALLEY AND AN EASEMENT, CORRECT? YES. AND WE HAVE UNIMPROVED EASEMENTS THAT ARE DRIVABLE. YOU HAVE TO OBTAIN RIGHT OF WAY. SO RIGHT NOW THOSE ARE EASEMENTS. A LOT OF THOSE THAT'S PRIVATE PROPERTY TO THE CENTER OF THOSE UNDEVELOPED. AND SO WE HAVE UTILITY EASEMENTS THERE. BUT WE'D HAVE TO OBTAIN RIGHT OF WAY ALL THE WAY THROUGH THAT. IS THAT GOING TO BE THE CASE WITH MOST OF THOSE WERE THERE? IF THERE WAS PROBABLY AN EASEMENT.

YEAH. BUT THAT WOULD BE FAIR. YEAH. THOSE ARE EASEMENT. YES, SIR. OKAY. AND I BROUGHT THIS UP BEFORE THE THERE'S SO MANY PARKING CONCERNS IN THE FAIR MEADOWS NEIGHBORHOOD. TO HAVE ALLEYS BACK THERE WOULD HELP ALLEVIATE SOME OF THAT, BUT THAT'S A BIGGER ANIMAL TO WORRY ABOUT. AND TO BE HONEST, A LOT OF A LOT OF CITIES ARE MOVING TOWARDS HAVING LIKE, LIKE SOME OF THE CITIES REALLY FUND ALLEYS THAT ARE THAT HAVE GARBAGE PICKUP BECAUSE THEY ARE FUNDING FUNDED MAINLY BY SANITATION FEES. AND SOME OF THE CITIES ARE REALLY TRYING TO MOVE AWAY COMPLETELY FROM THAT AND HAVE A FRONT PICKUP ONLY AND BASICALLY NOT FUND ALLEYS AT ALL, AND HAVE IT BACK AS A RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RESIDENTS, WHICH IS ANOTHER THING THAT. SO THAT'S REALLY.

BECAUSE THOSE PAVEMENTS ARE EXPENSIVE. YES, SIR. SO SINCE WE ALREADY WE'VE ALREADY GONE THERE. SO WITH IS MY UNDERSTANDING WITH THE UNIMPROVED EASEMENTS THAT IF IT IS UNIMPROVED, IT'S DIRT OR GRASS, THAT I MEAN ALL OF THOSE ARE EASEMENTS OR MOST OF THEM

[00:50:01]

THERE'S NO RIGHT OF WAY IN PLACE CURRENTLY. OKAY, OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. SO WE'RE ON THE SAME ANALYSIS ON ALLEYS TO CREATE SOME FORECAST. AND LOOK AT HOW BUDGET CAN REPRESENT INTO, YOU KNOW, INVESTMENT CAN REPRESENT INTO THE UPCOMING FIVE YEARS. AND AS IT STANDS TODAY, WE ARE WE HAVE A BUDGET OF HALF $1 MILLION PER YEAR THAT ROUGHLY BEING USED FOR ALLEYS. AND WITH THAT SPENDING OR CONTINUING THAT FLAT, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A CLOSE PCI WHERE WE'RE AT, WHICH IS THE 66 AND 0% BACKLOG. NOW, WHEN WE IF WE TARGET A HIGHER PCI ON ALLEYS TO IMPROVE ITS CONDITION OVERALL, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PROBABLY RECOMMEND TO INCREASE OUR MAINTENANCE FUND FUNDING MAINTENANCE TO A 700,000 PER YEAR. SO THIS IS REALLY A COMPARISON THAT I WANTED TO THROW IN THERE TO BRING YOUR ATTENTION TO. LOOKING AT THE DATA THAT WE HAD RECEIVED TEN YEARS AGO, COMPARED TO THE DATA WE RECEIVED TODAY AND THE INVESTMENT THAT HAD HAPPENED IN THE CITY AND ITS IMPACT, I HAVE TO SAY, THIS WAS NOT AN APPLE TO APPLE COMPARISON BECAUSE THERE WERE DIFFERENCES IN THE METHODOLOGIES THAT WE'VE CARRIED, THE PREVIOUS ANALYSIS AND THE ONES THAT WE'VE CARRIED TODAY. SO NETWORK PCI WAS MEASURED TO BE IN 2015 AS 62.9 MEASURED PCI, THAT CURRENTLY IN 2025 IS 73. THE BACKLOG IS, WHICH IS THE 40 AND UNDER PCI IN 2020, 2015 WAS 9%, AND IN 2025 IS 7% OR IT'S REDUCED. THE NETWORK SIZE ANALYZED AT THE TIME WAS MORE THAN THE NETWORK SIZE ANALYZED THIS TIME, AND ALSO THE METHOD METHODOLOGY WAS DIFFERENT. AS I MENTIONED, STREETS AND ALLEYS WERE ADDRESSED TOGETHER IN THE PREVIOUS ANALYSIS AS ONE PAVEMENT CONDITION INDEX, AND WE SEPARATED IT THIS TIME BECAUSE STREETS AND ALLEYS ARE NOT THE SAME THING, THEY'RE NOT FUNDED THE SAME WAY, AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE COMBINED IN ONE PROJECTION OR PREDICTION ANALYSIS. NOW FOR FUNDING FORECAST, AS YOU SEE HERE, THERE WAS ALSO 2015. THERE WAS A 500 PER YEAR AND IT PROJECTED TO INCREASE THE PCI, WHICH IT DID BASICALLY. AND ALSO FOR 2025 FUNDING, WE HAVE CARRIED THEM 1.7 MILLION PER YEAR. AND IN CONCLUSION, AS I MENTIONED, THIS REALLY SHOWS THAT THE ANALYSIS HAS PROVED SPENDING ON THE PAVEMENT WAS ABLE TO HELP THE PAVEMENT AND. REALLY, THE RECOMMENDATION THAT I WOULD TAKE AWAY FROM THIS ONE IS REALLY TO REDUCE THAT MARGIN OF THE CYCLES OF COLLECTING THE DATA TO BE ABLE TO CREATE MORE ACCURATE, BECAUSE THE MORE DATA WE GET, THE MORE ACCURATE THE DATA IS THAT WE HAVE, AND ALSO THE MORE WE CAN SEE THE FORECAST AND THE TREND CLEARLY. AND WE CREATE A PROPER PREDICTION ANALYSIS TO FOLLOW. SO RECOMMENDED CYCLE IS 2 TO 3 YEARS TO RECOLLECT THE DATA AND DO THIS ANALYSIS AGAIN.

SO IN CONCLUSION REALLY THE CITY AS WE SAID CITY STANDS TODAY AS A VERY GOOD, YOU KNOW, POSITION AS FAR AS THE OVERALL METRIC, PCI CITIES, ARTERIAL AND CONCRETE STREETS ARE IN BETTER SHAPE THAN OUR LOCAL AND ASPHALT STREETS IN GENERAL. FORECASTS SHOW POTENTIAL THREE POINT REDUCTION IN PCI AS WE STAND TODAY. IF WE CONTINUE AT FLAT FUNDING, ANY FUNDING DECREASE WILL ACCELERATE THE PCI DECLINE AND ALSO CREATE FURTHER BACKLOG OF FAILED STREETS. APPROXIMATELY 7% OF THE NETWORK TODAY IS FAIL STREETS, AND WE TALKED ABOUT THAT. IT'S REALLY SCOPED AS OUTSIDE OF THE MAINTENANCE BUDGET ANYMORE, AND IT HAS TO BE ADDRESSED THROUGH CIP OR ANY OTHER FUNDING PROGRAMS IN THE FUTURE FOR MAJOR MAINTENANCE. THE LONG TERM GOAL IS REALLY TO MAINTAIN OR IMPROVE OUR PCI AND ALSO TO FOCUS ON REDUCING OUR BACKLOG. AND ALSO, WE TALKED ABOUT THE COMPARISON TO THE 2015. WE'RE TRENDING UPWARDS. THAT'S A GREAT THING. SO THE STRATEGY IS WORKING A LIST OF FIVE AND THEN A LIST OF FY 25 MAINTENANCE. I'M PLANNING TO

[00:55:04]

WELL, THE PAST FIVE YEARS TO 5 TO 10 YEARS WAS UNIQUE COMPARED TO THE GENERAL TREND OF TALKING ABOUT IN GENERAL, THE SUPPLY CHAIN AND INFLATION RATES HAS JUST HIT 12% IN ONE YEAR, AS WE KNOW, AFTER COVID, WHICH IS UNEXPECTED NOW. AFTER THAT, UNFORTUNATELY IT STAYED UP A LITTLE BIT, BUT IT CONTINUED TO BE MORE THAN WHAT THE INFLATION RATE WAS EVERY YEAR. SO AT SOME POINT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CURRENTLY AN ESTIMATE OF 5% INCREASE PER YEAR THAT CITIES ARE COUNTING WHEN THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT COST ESTIMATES. SO IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 5% PER YEAR INCREASE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DEPENDS ON THE TREATMENT TYPE. OF COURSE YOU'RE DOING LESS STREETS WITH THE SAME BUDGET. THAT'S WHAT IT IS. YOU'RE DOING LESS WORK WITH THE SAME BUDGET WHICH IS IMPACTING THE NETWORK OVERALL. AND BY HAVING WORST. AND THESE ANALYSIS REALLY INCLUDED INFLATION AS PART OF THE FACTORS TO REALLY CONSIDER FOR THE UPCOMING FIVE YEARS. OKAY. DOES THE COMPLETE STREETS FACTOR INTO THE DETERMINATION OF THE ROADS THAT ARE GOING TO BE ADDRESSED? NOT TO THIS ANALYSIS, BUT WHAT WHAT THIS ANALYSIS CAN BE USED FOR IS WHEN WE CARRY, LET'S SAY WE CREATE THIS MASTER PLAN THAT WE'RE TRYING TO WORK ON. AND WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THE CITY'S POTENTIAL FOR COMPLETE STREETS. YOU KNOW, WHERE THOSE APPLY IN THE CITY. THAT'S OUR THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THOSE. IF WE DO. AND WE KNOW THAT THERE IS A STREET THAT IS A GOOD CONDITION BUT HAS A POTENTIAL TO BECOME A COMPLETE STREET. WHAT WE CAN DO IS WE CAN BASICALLY FUND OR BUDGET JUST THE MODIFICATIONS TO TURN IT INTO COMPLETE STREET BY ADDING, LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE BICYCLE LANES OR THIS AND THAT ALONGSIDE THE JUST NORMAL MAINTENANCE. AND THAT MAKES IT LOOK LIKE A BRAND NEW STREET IF WE COORDINATE THOSE TOGETHER. SO THAT'S THAT CAN BE DONE TO SOMETHING I WANTED TO ADD. AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT WE TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THOSE STREETS THAT REALLY NEED TO FOCUS ON RECONSTRUCTION.

BECAUSE THE SUBGRADE, YOU'RE AT SUCH A FAILURE POINT THAT I THINK THE PRACTICE IN TIMES PAST WAS WE'LL JUST DO A MILL AND OVERLAY LIKE CHAD WAS LEADING TO OVERLAY, SOMETHING YOU NEED TO BE LOOKING AT AT A AT A 40 OR SO RANKING, NOT WHEN IT'S A FOUR. AND SO YOUR THE DEGRADATION RATE OF THAT INVESTMENT IS SO MUCH FASTER BECAUSE YOU DID IT AT A POINT OF FAILURE AND NOT WHEN YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING IT. SO THOSE ARE THE THINGS WE'RE TRYING TO BE COGNIZANT OF NOW MOVING FORWARD IS WHAT'S THE WHAT'S THE BEST INVESTMENT FOR THIS PROJECT. HE SAID THAT HE THOUGHT HE COULD DO IT. JUST. DECIDE WHEN. OKAY. YEP. YES, MA'AM. OH GO AHEAD. SO 2015 2025. ONE OF THEM SAYS SURVEY. THE OTHER ONE SAID ANALYZE. ONE INCLUDED STREETS AND ALLEYS. THE OTHER ONE HAD A BREAKDOWN AND SEPARATE. SO WHEN WE SAY WE'RE NOT COMPARING APPLES TO APPLES, I AGREE THAT WE SHOULD BE COLLECTING THE DATA MORE FREQUENTLY THAN WHAT, THE TEN YEAR PERIOD. SO WHAT WAS ANALYZED? BECAUSE I NOTICED THE NUMBER WAS ABOUT SEVEN MILE DIFFERENCE, ONE WAS A203 AND ONE WAS 209. DID WE ADD EXTRA MILES? DID WE ANALYZE MORE MILES? IT REALLY DEPENDS ON THAT. LIKE BECAUSE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR EXAMPLE, THIS IS A LANE MILE BASIS. SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DRIVING ONE LANE. WE'RE NOT DRIVING EVERY LANE IN THE CITY.

[01:00:04]

THAT'S WHY WE DO IT MORE FREQUENTLY. WE'RE COLLECTING MORE DATA BECAUSE THIS TIME YOU DRIVE DROVE THAT LANE. NEXT TIME YOU DROVE THE OTHER LANE AND YOU'RE HAVING BOTH OF THE DATA IS MORE ACCURATE DATA FOR THE CITY IN GENERAL. BUT THAT THING IS LIKE THIS STREET IS CLOSED IN THE TIME OF THE ANALYSIS. THIS STREET WAS THIS THIS STREET HAD WORK, THIS STREET HAD THAT. IT REALLY IS A SMALL, YOU KNOW, NUMBER OF STREETS THAT IS NOT NECESSARILY REALLY IMPACTFUL ON THE OVERALL ANALYSIS. REALLY. YES. YEAH. SO AND SOME OF THEM WERE NOT PAID. THEY'RE PAID.

WE'RE NOT PAID. FOR EXAMPLE, THEY ARE PAVED UNPAVED ALLEYS THAT BECAME PAVED ALLEYS. THINGS LIKE THAT REALLY IS NORMAL. YOU CAN'T HAVE EXACTLY SAME DATA. THERE HAVE TO BE NORMAL DIFFERENCES EVERY TIME WE COLLECT THE DATA. OKAY, OKAY, I KNOW WE'RE WE'RE OUT OF TIME. SO YEAH KIND OF CONNECTED WITH THAT. SO AS FAR AS THE METHODS THAT YOU MENTIONED DRIVING THE STREET, BUT AS FAR AS THE ACTUAL ANALYSIS, I MEAN, NO ONE'S ON THE STREET LOOKING, YOU KNOW.

RIGHT. SO I MEAN, HOW ARE THEY WHAT'S THE METHOD FOR COLLECTING THE DATA. SO THERE ARE YEAH, THERE ARE LASER. IT IS A 4000 LASER POINTS ON THOSE ON THAT REALLY TECHNOLOGY THAT DRIVES THE STREET. AND IT COLLECTS VERY DETAILED DATA THAT IS TURNED INTO THERE. IT'S EVEN USED IN AI TO TURN THOSE INTO LIKE VISUAL ANALYSIS OF THERE'S IMAGERY, A WHOLE IMAGERY OF HOW IT'S LOOKING LIKE. NOW ON THOSE THERE'S A WINDSHIELD INSPECTION AS WELL. SO THERE IS A WINDSHIELD INSPECTION BY A PERSON THAT IS A SPECIALIZED IS SITTING THERE ALONGSIDE WHAT THEY CAN. BECAUSE YOU SEE SOME OF THOSE STREETS YOU'LL GET IN AND THERE'S, FOR EXAMPLE, LEAVES ON TOP OF THEM. THAT'S CUZ THE LASER DATA OR THERE IS, LET'S SAY CARS BLOCKING PARKING ON THE STREETS, THEY CAN'T GET THERE. SO THERE IS A VISUAL PART TO IT THAT IS ADDING. THERE'S ALSO A SET OF QUALITY CONTROL HAPPENS ON WITH ENGINEERS ON THEIR DESKS LOOKING AT THE DATA AND THE IMAGERY TO VERIFY THIS TYPE OF DISTRESS VERSUS THAT. SO THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THAT COMES WITH IT. THAT'S WHY IT TAKES LIKE SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR TO COMPLETE THE ANALYSIS. I WOULD AGAIN AGREE THAT, YOU KNOW, THE MORE OFTEN WE DO THIS, THE BETTER. BUT WHATEVER THE METHOD IS, I GUESS.

SO MAKE SURE YOU USE THE SAME LASERS THAT WE USE TWO YEARS AGO. WE USE NEXT YEAR, RIGHT? YEAH. WELL, BECAUSE WELL TECHNOLOGY, TECHNOLOGY, TECHNOLOGY IS IMPROVING AND IT'S CHANGING. SO IT IS CHANGING FOR MORE ACCURACY AND FOR BETTER RESULTS. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND I'M GOING TO TAKE YOU UP ON YOUR OFFER THAT WE'RE GOING TO MOVE 3 TO 6 A AT YOUR QUARTERLY REPORT.

THANK YOU. AND WITH THAT WE'RE GOING TO. RECESS OUT OF OUR BRIEFING SESSION AT 7:03 P.M.

[1.A. Mayor's Report.]

[01:05:16]

WHEN I INQUIRED WHY IT'S A ROTARY CLUB ISSUE, AND THEY WERE GOING TO LEAVE THEM UP TO A 4TH OF JULY ANYWAY. SO THE ANSWER WAS EASY. IT WASN'T MY CALL, AND IT WAS EXPLAINED THAT. THIS GENTLEMAN WAS NOT A DUNCANVILLE RESIDENT, BUT HE HAS FAMILY THAT'S IN DUNCANVILLE. YOU SEE HIS PICTURE UP THERE, CORPORAL BILLY CHARLES DRIVER. HE WAS RAISED JUST OUTSIDE OF THE DALLAS AREA, BUT HE HAD FAMILY MEMBERS HERE. HE GREW UP IN DALLAS, AND IN JULY OF 1950, HE WAS DEPLOYED IN KOREA TO THE PUSAN PERIMETER IN THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA. INITIALLY, HE WAS REPORTED AS MISSING IN ACTION, AND LATER HE WAS DECLARED KILLED IN ACTION ON SEPTEMBER 5TH OF 1950. IN SEPTEMBER. ON SEPTEMBER 9TH OF 2024, HIS REMAINS WERE PROVEN THROUGH NEW TECHNOLOGY TO BE HIS, SO HIS FAMILY WAS EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO PUT THAT TO PEACE. AFTER 75 YEARS, AND HIS FAMILY CAME FROM. EAST TEXAS, FROM WEST TEXAS, MIDLAND, AS FAR AS WAY AS TENNESSEE, AND ALL AROUND THE METROPLEX AREA 100 MILES OUT. THERE WERE QUITE A FEW FOLKS THAT SHOWED UP AND ON THE MEMORIAL MEMORIAL DAY SERVICE. I WANT TO THANK THE CITY MANAGER FOR INCLUDING A SMALL PORTION OF THE FAMILY TO COME TO OUR MEMORIAL DAY SERVICE AGAIN, EVEN THOUGH THIS WASN'T A YOUNG MAN THAT GREW UP IN THIS AREA, HIS REMAINS WERE HERE. AND THEY WERE THERE BEING HELD AT AT THE FUNERAL HOME ON COCKRELL HILL. AND SO WITH THAT, THE CITY MANAGER, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, POLICE DEPARTMENT AND OTHER CITY STAFF PUT TOGETHER A ROUTE DOWN DANIEL DALE WHERE AFTER THE REMAINS WERE. THE FAMILY GOT TOGETHER AT AT THE FUNERAL HOME AND GOT TO JUST HAVE A PRIVATE SERVICE THERE. MY WIFE AND I WERE ASKED TO BE THERE. WE WEREN'T INVOLVED IN THE IN THE FAMILY GET TOGETHER THERE, BUT WE DID. WE WERE THERE JUST TO HONOR THE HONOR THIS THIS GENTLEMAN AND THE FACT THAT HE WAS BEING HIS REMAINS WERE LEAVING DUNCANVILLE AND MOVING TO THE DFW CEMETERY OUT OFF OF MOUNTAIN PARK CREEK MOUNTAIN PARK, CREEKWAY MOUNTAIN CREEK PARKWAY. I APOLOGIZE, FROM THAT POINT, IT WAS I WILL TELL YOU. WELL, AT AT THE MEMORIAL SERVICE, THE FAMILY WAS RECOGNIZED THERE. IT FIT IN VERY WELL. AND AGAIN, I WANT TO I WANT TO THANK THE CITY MANAGER AND NOEL GARCIA FOR FITTING THAT PORTION IN, BECAUSE IT WAS A REAL MOMENT IN DUNCANVILLE TO BE ABLE TO SHOW OUR SUPPORT OF VETERANS. AND EVEN IN THIS SPECIAL CASE WHERE REMAINS FROM 50 YEARS AGO, 75 YEARS AGO WERE BROUGHT FORWARD AND FINALLY GOING TO BE PUT TO REST. WE GOT TO BE A PART OF THAT. AND SO THE FAMILY WAS WAS RECOGNIZED DURING THE MEMORIAL DAY EVENT AT THE REC CENTER TO A STANDING OVATION. AND THE FOLLOWING DAY THEY WELL MORE THAN THE FOLLOWING DAY, IT WAS A FEW DAYS LATER, THERE WAS AN ENTOURAGE LED BY A GROUP, AND I WISH I KNEW THE NAME OF THE MOTORCYCLE GROUP THAT VETERANS THAT DROVE DOWN. AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE DROVE UNDER ON THE WAY OUT TO THE CEMETERY. THIS GREAT DISPLAY

[01:10:04]

[3. CITIZENS' INPUT]

WELCOME. I COME FORTH TODAY. OVER THE PAST YEAR OR SO, I'VE NOTICED A DECLINE IN THE. OKAY, CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? OKAY. YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE. I'M SORRY. TAMMY GREEBA G R E B B A AND MY ADDRESS IS 226 MOORE STREET. AND THAT'S IN DUNCANVILLE. THANK YOU. OKAY, SO OVER THE PAST YEAR AND A YEAR OR SO, I'VE NOTICED A DECLINE IN THE ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES ON THE LIGHT POLES. EITHER THEY'RE DISABLED OR THEY'RE NOT WORKING PROPERLY OR THE VOLUMES TURN TOO DOWN, TOO FAR DOWN, ESPECIALLY ON STREETS THAT HAVE HIGH TRAFFIC, WHICH WE REALLY NEED TO RELY ON TO CROSS. OR SOMETIMES THEY DON'T SAY THE NAME OF THE STREET, WHICH IS IMPORTANT AS WELL TO CROSS. I'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO WALK FREELY THROUGH MY CITY, AND I'D HATE TO WALK A MILE TO GET TO THAT ONE LIGHT THAT DOESN'T WORK. AND I'M LIKE, I'M SO CLOSE, BUT I'M NOT. I'M JUST YET SO FAR TO GET TO WHERE I NEED TO GO. SO I WAS WONDERING, MOVING FORWARD, HOW CAN THE CITY MAKE SURE THAT THOSE LIGHTS ARE ACCESSIBLE AND WORKING? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

SOMEONE WILL BE IN TOUCH WITH YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. MISS BAILEY. WHEN? GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS BAILEY NGUYEN. MY ADDRESS IS 1102 BIG STONE GAP ROAD. HERE IN DUNCANVILLE. I STAND BEFORE THIS BODY, THIS TODAY ASKING THAT YOU CREATE A CODE OF ETHICS THAT ADDRESSES THE ACCOUNTABILITY THAT SOME OF YOU HAVE CONSTANTLY TALKED ABOUT. WHEN I RAN FOR A SEAT ON THE CITY COUNCIL, I EXPECTED THAT I WOULD WIN OR LOSE BASED ON THE WORK THAT I PUT IN MY EFFORTS. INSTEAD, WHAT I WHAT I ENCOUNTERED WAS ONE MEMBER SEEKING TO SABOTAGE MY CAMPAIGN BY CALLING CITIZENS WHO ALLOWED MY SIGNS UP TO GET SAID SIGNS REMOVED. ONE MEMBER IN THEIR SPOUSE WENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND ATTEMPTED TO BULLY AND HARASS ME, EVEN SLANDER MY CHARACTER WITH ACCUSATIONS AND UNTRUTHS. HOWEVER, WHAT WAS EVEN MORE DEVASTATING WAS THE FACT THAT THE WIFE OF THE LEADER OF THIS CITY CHOSE TO SIT UNDER THE TENT OF MY OPPONENT DURING MULTIPLE DAYS OF THE ELECTION. I RESPECT THE RIGHT OF EVERY CITIZEN TO SUPPORT WHOMEVER THEY CHOOSE. PERHAPS SHE DID NOT REALIZE THAT HER PRESENCE BESPOKE NOT ONLY HER STAMP OF APPROVAL, BUT HER SPOUSE'S. UNFORTUNATELY, I DID NOT PREVAIL IN MY EFFORTS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS CITY BY SERVING ON THE CITY COUNCIL. BUT I DID HAVE FUN. I DID ENJOY

[01:35:04]

[4. CONSENT AGENDA]

DID WE GET THAT? ALL RIGHT. PLEASE VOTE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. MOVE ON TO ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION. WE HAVE NOT HAD OUR EXECUTIVE SESSION YET. THAT'S ITEM FIVE A, BUT WE WILL, AFTER THIS SESSION, GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION AND REPORT ON ANY ACTIONS AS A RESULT OF

[5.B. Election of Mayor Pro Tem for 2025-2026]

AND MR. VERA CRUZ. I WAS GOING TO NOMINATE. WELL. OKAY, SO WE HAVE TWO NOMINEES. MR. ATTORNEY,

[01:40:14]

DO WE NEED TO ACCEPT THE NOMINATION OR. WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT. DON'T NEED TO. BUT IF ONE IF SOMEONE WANTS TO WITHDRAW, CERTAINLY WON'T KEEP THEM FROM DOING THAT. NO WITHDRAWALS. OKAY. SO WITH THAT, JUST A REMINDER VOTE TO GREEN, WHICH WOULD BE A YES WOULD BE FOR COUNCILWOMAN MONICA GOODIN. AND A VOTE IN THE RED WOULD BE A VOTE FOR COUNCILWOMAN KAREN CHERRY BROWN. RIGHT. EVERYBODY GOT THAT OKAY WITH THAT? PLEASE VOTE. IT LOOKS LIKE A VOTE IN THE AFFIRMATIVE FOR MISS BROWN. DID YOU VOTE? LOOKS LIKE MAJORITY VOTE FOR IN THE GREEN FOR COUNCILWOMAN MISS MONICA GOODIN. FOR THE RECORD, IT'S FOR MISS GOODIN THREE FOR MISS CHERRY BROWN. MAYOR. THE MAJORITY VOTE WAS RECEIVED BY MISS GOODIN. MISS TAYLOR DO YOU HAVE THAT OKAY. ALL RIGHT WITH THAT. CONGRATULATIONS MISS GOODIN THANK YOU MAYOR. THANK YOU COUNCIL. WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM. ITEM FIVE C. CONSIDER RESOLUTION APPROVING A

[5.C. Consider Resolution 2025-486 approving a Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund Grant for the FY25 budget in an amount not to exceed $9,916.21 to the Duncanville Chamber of Commerce to enhance the chamber building, which serves as the City of Duncanville's Visitor Center, with a "Welcome to Duncanville" mural, in celebration of the Chamber's 70th Anniversary.]

SURE, MAYOR. THANK YOU. SO ITEM FIVE C CONSIDER RESOLUTION 2546 APPROVING A HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX FUND GRANT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 25 BUDGET IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $9,916.21 TO THE DUNCANVILLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO ENHANCE THE CHAMBER BUILDING, WHICH SERVES AS THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE VISITOR CENTER WITH A WELCOME TO DUNCANVILLE MURAL IN CELEBRATION OF THE CHAMBER'S 70TH ANNIVERSARY, I BELIEVE. OH, THERE'S MARCELLA, OKAY. I'M SORRY I DIDN'T SEE YOU FOR THE PODIUM. MISS PEREZ IS HERE TO HELP WITH THIS. I WE MENTIONED EARLIER THE APPLICANT IN THIS CASE IS THE CHAMBER PRESIDENT, AND HE WAS UNABLE TO BE HERE THIS EVENING. I KNOW I HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH HIM THIS AFTERNOON. HE DID SHARE WITH ME. AND MISS PEREZ WILL SHOW YOU A RENDERING. HE DID SHARE WITH ME THAT THAT THAT IS NOT NECESSARILY FINAL. HE AS OF THIS AFTERNOON, HE WAS STILL PLANNING TO WORK WITH THE ARTIST TO MAKE SOME IMPROVEMENTS AND EVERYTHING, BUT HE WAS HOPING TO GET THE AUTHORIZATION FOR THE FUNDING FOR MOVING FORWARD WITH THE MURAL. SO, MISS PEREZ, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MARCELLA PEREZ, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR. SO WE'RE BRINGING FOR YOU THE REQUEST THAT WAS BROUGHT TO US BY MR. STEVE MARTIN OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOR THE MURAL TO UPGRADE THEIR BUILDING AND PRIMARILY FOR THE CELEBRATION OF THE CHAMBER'S 70TH ANNIVERSARY, SO THAT IT WILL SPECIFY WELCOME TO DUNCANVILLE. AND THE MURAL WILL BE VISIBLE ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE CHAMBER BUILDING, WHICH ALSO SERVES AS THE VISITOR CENTER FOR THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE, AND IT WILL BE VISIBLE TO PATRONS AND PASSERS BY ON WHEATLAND ROAD. THE SPECIFIC AMOUNT REQUEST IS $9,916, WITH $0.21, AND AGAIN LOCATED AT THE CHAMBER BUILDING, 300 EAST WHEATLAND ROAD, AND IN ORDER TO APPROVE THIS REQUEST, WE ARE ASKING FOR CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZATION FOR STAFF TO

[01:45:01]

THAT WOULD HELP BEAUTIFY. MY QUESTION IS RELATES TOWARDS ARTS COMMISSION. DO THEY HAVE ANY SAY IN THIS AS WELL? MR. FINCH? YEAH. THANK YOU MAYOR. SO IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS WAS NOT REFERRED TO THE ARTS COMMISSION. IT COULD BE REFERRED TO THE ARTS COMMISSION, BUT THIS WOULD NOT BE USING ARTS COMMISSION OR THE ARTS FUND. IT WOULD NOT BE USING THEIR MONEY.

THIS IS RELATIVE MORE TOWARDS TOURISM PROMOTION. AND NOW THAT THE IMAGE IS UP HERE, IF I JUST TAKE A SECOND, WHAT HE SHARED WITH ME THIS AFTERNOON IS THAT HE STILL LIKE FOR INSTANCE, IT SAYS ON HERE, GREETINGS FROM. THIS WAS AN EARLY RENDERING THAT HE WAS WORKING ON. I KNOW HE WE TALKED TODAY ABOUT THE WORD WELCOME. HE JUST WASN'T ABLE TO BE HERE OBVIOUSLY THIS EVENING UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, WITH THE PASSING OF HIS MOM TO TALK ABOUT THIS MORE, HE ALSO SHARED WITH ME THAT HE WAS LOOKING TO INCORPORATE OTHER ELEMENTS, NOT NECESSARILY JUST DISD SPORTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS, BUT INCORPORATE OTHER ELEMENTS AND REALLY HAVE A BETTER REPRESENTATION OF THE CULTURE, REALLY, OF THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE. AND HE SHARED WITH ME THAT THEY STILL WERE WORKING ON THOSE GRAPHICS AND WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE, AND THAT HE COULD CERTAINLY SHARE THOSE WITH US AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME. AT ANY POINT DURING THAT DISCUSSION. WE DO HAVE A COUPLE MORE QUESTIONS. WAS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ABOUT GETTING MAYBE SOME FEEDBACK OR IDEAS TO COMPLEMENT THIS SIGN FROM OUR ARTS COMMISSION? I THINK FROM MY CONVERSATION WITH HIM THIS AFTERNOON, HE CERTAINLY WAS OPEN TO THE IDEA. AND I THINK THAT THAT IS CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT WE COULD DO. I KNOW THAT HIS DESIRE AND INTEREST IS ADVANCING THIS SO THAT IT COULD COINCIDE WITH THE 70TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CHAMBER, AND HE WAS LOOKING TO DO AN EVENT, MAYBE LATER THIS FALL. I THINK HIS PRIMARY CONCERN WAS GETTING THE FUNDING APPROPRIATION FOR THIS SO THAT THEY COULD MOVE FORWARD, AND THEN CERTAINLY WAS VERY OPEN TO FEEDBACK FROM THE ARTS COMMISSION. AND WE COULD CERTAINLY REFER TO THE ARTS COMMISSION. THANK YOU, MR. KOONTZ. THANK YOU, MAYOR. SO AGAIN, SO IT'S NOT COMING OUT OF THE ARTS FUND. THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. AND I WILL IF I MAY. WE DID HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH MR. MARTIN THIS AFTERNOON AS WELL, AND HAD BROUGHT UP THAT VERY TOPIC. HE DID EXPRESS THAT TIME WAS OF THE ESSENCE AND WANTED TO PROCEED. THERE WAS CONVERSATION I KNOW WITH MR. HAMBY ABOUT POSSIBLY PRESENTING THIS TO THE ARTS COUNCIL, BUT AT THE TIME THAT HE WAS WANTING TO GET THE APPLICATION SUBMITTED, THE ARTS COMMISSION DID NOT YET HAVE A POLICY OR APPLICATION.

THEREFORE, IT PROCEEDED AS A REGULAR HOT FUNDS REQUEST. SO I GUESS THEY'RE BEING THE

[01:50:01]

SO WITH MISS PEREZ, I KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY. SO I HAVE NO CONCERNS SEEING HER NAME ON IT. I HAVE NO CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE. I GUESS THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD, AS FAR AS IT WERE, IT FACED BECAUSE WITH IT FACING WEST, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S FACING THAT PARKING LOT, WHICH IS WHAT YOU WOULD SEE HEADED OUT OF DUNCANVILLE. BUT THERE'S ALSO THE FACE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE BUILDING, WHICH YOU SEE COMING INTO DUNCANVILLE. AND SO WAS THERE ANY CONSIDERATION GIVEN TO BEING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BUILDING? NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF. IS THIS ANGLE NOT FACING EAST, WHICH WOULD BE THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING? IT. YEAH. FROM THE. SO IF YOU'RE COMING IN FROM COCKRELL HILL TOWARDS MAIN STREET, ISN'T THIS THE VANTAGE POINT. NO, IT WOULD BE FROM, IT'S ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING. SO IT WOULD BE EXACTLY LIKE COUNCIL MEMBER KOONTZ SAID. FOR WHEATLAND, GOING EASTBOUND.

OKAY. OKAY. WELL THANK YOU FOR THAT CORRECTION. WELL, I WOULD I WOULD ASK AND I'M IN FAVOR OF THIS, EVEN WITH THE COMPLICATIONS. BUT YEAH, I WOULD ASK IF THEY WOULD CONSIDER LOOKING AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BUILDING, IF THAT MIGHT BE A BETTER OPTION, BECAUSE AGAIN, AS YOU'RE COMING IN, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE GOING INTO ARMSTRONG PARK, YOU SEE THAT TO YOUR LEFT, RIGHT BEFORE YOU TURN. SO. WELL, IN THE EVENT THAT THAT MR. MARTIN'S LISTENING TONIGHT, I TOO WANT TO GO FORWARD WITH THIS. SO MY QUESTIONS AREN'T MEANT TO DERAIL, NO PUN INTENDED. WITH THE TRAIN ON THEIR THIS EFFORT. BUT ONE OTHER QUESTION I HAVE FOR THE CITY MANAGER IS WE DO HAVE A MURAL ORDINANCE. AND HAVE WE? DOES THAT DOES THAT ORDINANCE AS IT STANDS TODAY APPLY TO THIS MURAL? THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION, MAYOR, AND I AM NOT PREPARED TO ANSWER IT AT THIS MOMENT. SO BUT WE WILL DEFINITELY WORK WITH THEM TO MAKE SURE AND NOT TO HOLD THINGS UP, BECAUSE THERE IS A TIME CRUNCH AND I DON'T WANT TO I DON'T WANT TO MENTION THIS FOR THAT REASON, BUT MAYBE IT CAN GO THROUGH THE PROCESS. BUT I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT OUR MURAL ORDINANCE, WHICH IS PROBABLY NOW SOMEWHERE IN EXCESS OF 20 YEARS OLD, IT COULD TAKE A GOOD LOOKING OVER AND IT COULD BE MADE WELL BROUGHT UP TO SPEED A LITTLE BIT BETTER THAN, AS I RECALL WHEN IT WAS FIRST WRITTEN, THE PROCESS THAT YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH TO GET A MURAL APPROVED. SO THAT'S SOMETHING FOR A LATER TIME, MR. PENNEBAKER. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

AND THAT MURAL ORDINANCE, I'M NOT SURE, BUT I THINK IT USED TO FALL UNDER THE PURVIEW OF KDB.

AT SOME POINT, I SPOKE WITH STEVE TODAY, MR. MARTIN, BECAUSE I WAS AWARE OF HIS SITUATION AND DIDN'T KNOW IF HE WOULD BE HERE OR NOT, AND HAD SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS. AND BUT SOME OF THEM WERE THE INCORPORATION OF OTHER ELEMENTS, LIKE THE BASEBALL TEAM, WHICH IS THE REASON WE HAVE THE DESIGNATION AS THE CITY OF CHAMPIONS, AND SOFTBALL, SOCCER, VOLLEYBALL. THERE'S A LOT OF WONDERFUL SPORTS THAT THAT WE'VE HAD HERE. THIS IS A ROUGH DRAFT, SO WE'LL HAVE SOME SOME DIFFERENT ELEMENTS HERE. AND HE EXPRESSED TO ME THAT THE SIDES OF THIS WILL BE FILLED IN AS WELL. YOU WON'T JUST HAVE A BIG BLANK CANVAS ON THE OUTSIDE OF IT. HE HE ALSO DID EXPRESS A WILLINGNESS TO WORK WITH ARTS COMMISSION WHEN I SPOKE WITH THEM. SO THAT'S IT. MR. MCBURNETT MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. MOTION TO APPROVE THE REQUEST. SECONDED BY. WHERE'D IT COME FROM? OH, IT WAS A DEEP VOICE FROM COUNCILMAN PENNEBAKER. PLEASE VOTE. YES.

THANK YOU. OKAY, NOW WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM FIVE. D, MISS PEREZ. YES, SIR. SO. A SECOND REQUEST

[5.D. Consider Resolution 2025-485 approving a Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund Grant for the FY25 budget in an amount not to exceed $39,266.75 to the Duncanville Chamber of Commerce to enhance the chamber building which serves as the City of Duncanville's Visitor Center, in celebration of the Chamber's 70th Anniversary.]

[01:55:14]

SOURCES. THANK YOU MAYOR. NOT OPPOSED TO IT, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE FUNDING AND HOW WE PLAN ON DOING THE FUNDING, BECAUSE THE AVAILABLE BUDGET DOES SAY 504 AND $0.17.

SO CITY MANAGER EXPLAINED IT ON ELEMENTARY LEVEL FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND PLEASE. SO THE FUNDS WE HAVE THE NINE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS. SO THE STAFF REPORT THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT ACTUALLY HAS A SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF THE MONEY THAT WAS BUDGETED FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR BUDGET. AND SO THE, THE PLANNED BUDGET WAS FOR THE TRADITIONAL, WHAT I WOULD SAY VISITOR CENTER EXPENSE. OKAY. AND SO THAT'S WHAT THAT AMOUNT ACCOUNTS FOR. AND THAT'S WHY IT'S ESSENTIALLY LOW BECAUSE THAT'S ALREADY BEEN PAID TO THE CHAMBER WITH THIS REQUEST. THERE'S STILL MONEY AVAILABLE IN OUR ANNUAL HOT FUND TO APPROPRIATE TO OTHER THINGS. AND THERE'S THE NINE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS OF THE HOT FUND. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT SPORTS. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT OBVIOUSLY, WE'VE GOT SOME NEW LEGISLATION WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT FOR THE FUTURE. THERE'S ANY NUMBER OF DIFFERENT CATEGORIES, BUT ONE OF THE CATEGORIES ACTUALLY IS A VISITOR CENTER. SO WE CAN USE SOME OF THAT NON ARTS FUND MONEY TO APPROPRIATE ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR THE FUNDING OF THE CITY'S VISITOR CENTER. SO IT'S STILL AVAILABLE. IT'S JUST MOVING IT FROM WHERE IT CURRENTLY RESIDES IN BASICALLY HOT FUNDS, UNASSIGNED FUND BALANCE TO THAT SPECIFIC BUDGET LINE. OKAY. SO IN OUR ADOPTED BUDGET, WE HAVE A VISITOR CENTER CHAMBER FUNDING LINE. CORRECT. THAT IS ALREADY PRETTY MUCH BEEN PAID OUT OTHER THAN $504. CORRECT. THE ADDITIONAL MONEY THEY'RE REQUESTING NOW IS COMING OUT OF HOT FUNDS BECAUSE THIS DOES QUALIFY FOR HOT FUNDING. SO YOU'RE PULLING IT FROM THAT FUNDING TO TAKE IT OVER TO COVER THIS. EXACTLY. OKAY. SO THAT THAT DOES MAKE SENSE. NOW, WHEN IS THE 70TH ANNIVERSARY? HE MENTIONED TO ME FALL WAS WHEN THEY WERE PLANNING ON DOING SOMETHING. I DON'T I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT DATE. MARCELLA, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE AN EXACT DATE. I'M LOOKING AT THE APPLICATION NOW AND I DON'T SEE AN EXACT DATE EITHER. BUT I KNOW AGAIN IN SPEAKING WITH MR. MARTIN. SO, YES, THE FALL. AND THAT'S WHERE THEY WERE TRYING TO GET THE FUNDING APPROVED NOW SO THAT THEY COULD GET EVERYTHING IN ORDER TO HAVE IT READY. BY THE TIME THAT THE DATE COMES ALONG. I WAS THAT'S THANK YOU FOR THAT BECAUSE I KNOW IN FALL WE APPROVE A NEW BUDGET. AND I WAS JUST WONDERING WHY WE COULDN'T TAKE IT FROM THAT BUDGET WHEN WE APPROVE IT. AND THEN BUT IT'S TIME. WE'RE AGAINST TIME AND HE NEEDS IT TO. OKAY. THANK YOU. MR. KOONTZ. THANK YOU. MAYOR. SO HOW MUCH YOU SAID THERE'S A THERE'S A LINE ITEM FOR VISITORS CENTER AND OUR BUDGET FOR THIS YEAR.

AND HOW MUCH IS THAT? I DON'T. I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THAT INFORMATION RIGHT NOW. I APOLOGIZE. COMING. WELL, NO, I WANT TO THE AWKWARD SILENCE. THAT'S THAT'S BETTER RIGHT NOW.

WELL, DO WE KNOW. AND PROBABLY OTHER QUESTIONS THAT. WOULD BE BETTER FOR THE CHAMBER. BUT DO WE KNOW HOW MANY VISITORS A YEAR ACTUALLY VISIT THE CHAMBER IN PERSON? I DON'T KNOW THAT WE

[02:00:10]

HOW MANY EMPLOYEES DOES THE CHAMBER HAVE? I'M SORRY. TWO. IT'S PROBABLY ON QUESTIONS FOR YOU. THERE'S TWO EMPLOYEES. OKAY. AND THE TWO FULL TIME EMPLOYEES. YES, SIR. THEY'RE SALARIED. THAT I DON'T KNOW. TRYING TO GIVE CITY MANAGER A CHANCE. DO WE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE WEBSITE? HOW MUCH TRAFFIC THEY GET ON THE CHAMBER'S WEBSITE? NO, BUT THAT THAT COULD BE. I WILL MAKE NOTE THAT THAT COULD BE A FUTURE CONSIDERATION FOR THE CHAMBER TO REPORT BACK ON METRICS LIKE THAT. OKAY. AND I'M JUST, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE JUST I KNOW WE HAVE A LINE ITEM IN OUR BUDGET IN SUPPORT OF THE VISITOR CENTE. AND THIS IS, YOU KNOW, MOST YEARS WE DO APPROVE SOME ADDITIONAL HOT FUND SUPPORT TO THE CHAMBER. AND SO BUT I'M NOT SURE IF I'VE EVER SEEN. ANY FINANCIALS IN REGARDS TO THE CHAMBER. AND JUST AS FAR AS DATA THAT SHOWS THE ROI AND, YOU KNOW, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. SO COUNCIL MEMBER KOONTZ, THE THERE'S I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER THE EXACT QUESTION BECAUSE THE BUDGET ACTUALLY HAS A CONTRACTUAL AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES LINE OF $644,459, AND THEN THE CHAMBER SPECIFIC EXPENSE WOULD BE INCLUDED IN THAT. BUT I DON'T HAVE THE BREAKDOWN OF WHAT THAT IS, SO I'D HAVE TO GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON ITEM D? MCBURNETT I DO WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT THAT THIS IS OUR ONLY VISITOR CENTER, SO IT'S THE ONLY ONE. BUT I'M GOING TO MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE. DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE REQUEST BY COUNCILMAN MCBURNETT? SECOND. SECOND BY COUNCILMAN PENEBAKER. PLEASE VOTE. OKAY. THANK YOU.

[5.E. Consider Resolution 2025-487 approving a Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund Grant for the FY25 budget, in an amount not to exceed $939.99 to the Duncanville Chamber of Commerce, which serves as the City of Duncanville's Visitor Center, for the costs associated with replacing the Chamber's computer server.]

MR. MCBURNETT WELL, I'M GOING TO MAKE THE SAME COMMENT. AND ALSO IT'S THE ONLY VISITOR CENTER HAVE TO OPERATE. YOU HAVE TO HAVE THIS TECHNOLOGY AND STUFF. SO I'M MAKING THE MOTION TO APPROVE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM FIVE E SECOND SECOND BY COUNCILMAN PENEBAKER. QUESTIONS.

SEEING NONE, PLEASE VOTE. CITY SECRETARY, DID YOU GET THAT ACCOUNT? OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY.

THANK YOU, MISS PEREZ. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, NOW MOVE ON TO ITEM SIX. STAFF AND BOARD

[6.A. City Council is to receive the Public Works Quarterly Report.]

[02:05:26]

[02:10:03]

THERE'S WE BROUGHT IN 328.5 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER FROM DALLAS WATER UTILITIES. WE PUMPED OUT 254.2 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER. THAT'S AN ASSUMED LOSS OF 12.4 MILLION GALLONS, WHICH IS A COMBINATION OF WATER LEAKS, FLUSHING, PROACTIVE FLUSHING AND STUFF LIKE THAT. WE REPAIRED 25 WATER MAIN BREAKS. THREE WASTEWATER LATERALS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. WE CLEANED 22,650FT OF WASTEWATER LINE, AND WE REPLACED TWO FIRE HYDRANTS. SO THESE NEXT FEW SLIDES I WANT TO WALK WALK YOU THROUGH. THIS IS MEANT TO BE TRANSPARENT AND EDUCATIONAL. THIS IS INFORMATION FROM OUR WATER LOSS AUDIT THAT WE JUST COMPLETED. THEY DO EVERY YEAR IN MAY. AND I WANT TO START BRINGING THESE BACK TO YOU SO THAT EVERY YEAR ABOUT THIS TIME WE CAN LOOK AT THESE AND LOOK AT WHAT OUR SYSTEM'S REALLY DOING. SO WALKING THROUGH THESE, THESE BULLETS. SO I'M ASSUMING THAT OUR AVERAGE CUSTOMER METER ACCURACY ACROSS THE CITY I'M JUST PLUGGING IN 95%. WE DON'T HAVE ANY MEASURES OR ANY WAY OF TESTING OUR METERS INTERNALLY. SO I'M JUST ASSUMING A 95% ACCURACY RATE. AT THAT ACCURACY, WE CAN WE CAN SHOW A TOTAL APPARENT LOSS AT THE METER OF 74,000, 74,000,000.8, 74.8 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER ACROSS THE CITY AT THAT ACCURACY, RIGHT? SO THAT COMES TO HALF $1 MILLION IN REVENUE. THAT'S WHAT WE KNOW AT THE METER. NOW LET'S GO DOWN TO TOTAL REAL LOSS OF COMBINATION OF LEAKS AND UNKNOWN LOSS IS 448 MILLION GALLONS. SO THAT COST US AS A UTILITY DIVISION OF $1.4 MILLION. SO THAT'S THAT'S NOT REVENUE.

THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SPENDING. AND THAT HAS A TOTAL FINANCIAL IMPACT OF $1.9 MILLION. SO THE ESTIMATED TOTAL REVENUE LOSS AT THAT RATE, LOOKING AT ALL OF THAT, HAS A POTENTIAL REVENUE OF $3.5 MILLION. OUR GALLONS PER CAPITA PER DAY LOSS IS 35 GALLONS.

THAT'S TOTAL LOSS IN GALLONS DIVIDED BY POPULATION DIVIDED BY 300 DAYS A YEAR. THAT'S BASICALLY MEANING EVERY ALL 40,000 RESIDENTS ARE POURING 35 GALLONS OF WATER OUT. MR. BRIAN, IF I MAY INTERJECT, IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT LONG AGO WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE PROCESS OF IDENTIFYING SOME LOCATIONS OF WATER LEAKS USING THE TECHNOLOGY COMING UP. OKAY, SO BUT LET ME ASK YOU, BECAUSE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT 10 MILLION GALLONS, GALLONS AT THAT TIME, ESTIMATED LOSS. SO WHAT AM I DISCONNECTING WITH HERE WITH APPARENT LOSSES. AND BACK ON PAGE 92 THAT NUMBER WAS QUITE A BIT LOWER THAN THIS. THIS, THIS. YOU TALKING ABOUT THE 12 MILLION? YES. THAT'S WITHIN THAT'S WITHIN ONE QUARTER OKAY I GOTCHA GOTCHA OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THIS IS THIS IS THIS IS ALL THIS IS THE CALENDAR YEAR OF 2024. GOTCHA. THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU. AND THIS IS THE EXACT SAME INFORMATION. JUST CALENDAR YEAR 2023. SO THE DIFFERENCE IS I DID AN ASSUMPTION IN 2023 OF A 98% METER ACCURACY. SO THE REVENUES LOOK A LITTLE BIT BETTER. THE LOSS IS A LITTLE BIT LESS. SO THE TOTAL FINANCIAL IMPACT IS A LITTLE BIT BETTER. BUT I JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU THIS FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2023. IT'S ALL THE SAME INFORMATION. IT'S JUST AGAIN FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES AND TO BE TRANSPARENT ABOUT WHAT FINANCIALLY, WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE AND WHAT YOU ALL PROBABLY HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE. SO, MAYOR, TO YOUR QUESTION, SO THIS IS A THIS IS A SNAPSHOT OF THE USA, THE COMPANY THAT YOU ALL APPROVED FOR US TO DO SATELLITE LEAK DETECTION. SO OVER ON THE LEFT YOU'LL SEE THEY'VE IDENTIFIED 62 AREAS OF INTEREST, WHICH IS LEAKS COMING FROM OUR INFRASTRUCTURE. THE TWO SCANS THAT WERE COMPLETED, ONE WAS ON MARCH 18TH, ONE WAS ON MAY 7TH. SO THE NEXT STEPS IS WE WILL SCHEDULE WHAT THEY REFER TO AS BOOTS ON THE GROUND. ACOUSTIC LEAK DETECTION METHODS BY FIELD PERSONNEL THAT ARE SUBCONTRACTED BY THAT COMPANY. I HAD A MEETING WITH THEM THIS MORNING THAT SUBCONTRACTED PERSONNEL WILL BE IN DUNCANVILLE JUNE 23RD, AND

[02:15:06]

EVERYTHING THAT'S ORANGE MEANS THEY DETECTED IT ON BOTH SCANS, WHICH MEANS IT IS ALMOST CERTAINLY A LEAK, CERTAINLY A LEAK. AND THERE WAS 42 OF THOSE, PER THE CONVERSATION I HAD WITH HIM THIS MORNING. SO IT'S A COMBINATION OF OUR INFRASTRUCTURE SUFFERING AND OUR WATER METERS. OUR, OUR LIKELY INACCURATE. SO WE'RE GETTING HIT FROM BOTH ENDS FOR SURE. THANK YOU. YES, SIR. THAT ACTUALLY ANY QUESTIONS BESIDES THAT BEFORE WE GO INTO THE NEXT ONE, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU GOT YOUR WORK CUT OUT FOR YOU. WELL, SO I'M GOING TO START OFF THE GRANT APPLICATION UPDATE WITH THE MONEY WE'RE ASKING FOR TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS. SO JUST SOME INTRODUCTIONS. WE'RE GOING TO JUST INTRODUCE YOU TO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT CHAD AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON. WE'RE GOING TO START WITH SOME WATER UTILITIES GRANTS THAT I'VE I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH ONGOING GRANT APPLICATIONS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADES AND COMPLIANCE PROJECTS. AND THEN I'LL TURN IT OVER TO JIHAD SHADWELL. SHE WILL GO OVER SOME STREETS AND TRANSPORTATION GRANTS THAT SHE'S WORKING ON. SO JUST WANTED TO PROVIDE YOU WITH AN OVERVIEW OF ACTIVE AND PLANNED GRANT APPLICATION EFFORTS BY THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, AND HIGHLIGHT HOW THESE EFFORTS TO SUPPORT THE CITY'S INFRASTRUCTURE PRIORITIES AND STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS IN WATER, TRANSPORTATION AND MOBILITY PROJECTS, AND SHARE SOME RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND FUNDING AWARDS. SO I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH MEMBERS OF MRB GROUP AND TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD ON THE DRINKING WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND FOR WATER MAIN IMPROVEMENTS, ELEVATED STORAGE TANK IMPROVEMENTS, WATER PUMP STATION IMPROVEMENTS, AND THE ARMY WATER METER REPLACEMENT, WHICH WOULD BE A CITY WIDE CONVERSION, AS WELL AS THE CLEAN WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND. SO THOSE ARE TWO DIFFERENT STATE REVOLVING FUND SOURCES. GRANT SOURCES. IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE FUNDING FOR A WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS.

THE BENEFITS OF THAT IS BELOW MARKET FIXED INTEREST RATES, UP TO 30 YEAR REPAYMENT PERIOD, AND UP TO 70% PRINCIPAL FORGIVENESS. SO THE WATER MAIN IMPROVEMENTS THAT I'M WORKING WITH WORKING ON. SO THE BLUE SEGMENTS THAT YOU SEE THERE IS ESSENTIALLY OUR WHAT WE CALL THE TRANSFER TRANSMISSION LINES. SO THOSE TYPICALLY RUN PUMP STATION TO PUMP STATION, WATER TOWER TO WATER TOWER. AND THOSE ARE THE MAIN FEEDERS THROUGHOUT DUNCANVILLE, THE PRIMARY FEEDERS. SO CARRYING PLACE PIPE TECHNOLOGY IS NOT NOTHING NEW. IT'S BEEN USED IN THE WASTEWATER INDUSTRY FOR A LONG, LONG TIME. IT'S FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM, IT'S INSULATING AN EXISTING PIPE. YOU TAKE. YOU TAKE A LINER AND YOU PUT IT INSIDE THE PIPE, AND THEN YOU EXPAND IT WITH STEAM AND IT HARDENS AND IT BASICALLY BECOMES BRAND NEW PIPE, AND IT LASTS AS LONG AS PVC. SO IT'S VERY TRIED AND TRUE, VERY RELIABLE. AND THERE'S NO OPEN CUT. IT'S VERY MINIMAL FOOTPRINT. AND WHEN IT COMES TO EXCAVATIONS AND INTERRUPTION OF STREETS. SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'D LIKE TO LOOK INTO FOR OUR, OUR MAIN LINES THROUGHOUT DUNCANVILLE. JUST BECAUSE THE LAST THING WE WANT TO DO IS, IS OPEN CUT, 20 INCH AND 18 INCH WATER MAINS DOWN WHEATLAND ROAD AND DANIEL DALE. SO WE HAVE A PROJECTION OF $31 MILLION IN REPAIR OR IN IMPROVEMENTS FOR THAT THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR FROM TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD. ON THE ELEVATED STORAGE TANKS, JUST TO KIND OF GET CAUGHT UP BECAUSE WE HAVE SOME REHABILITATIONS THAT WE'RE A LITTLE BIT BEHIND THAT I'D LIKE TO GET AHEAD OF. SO ON ON THE LEFT PICTURE, THAT'S RIVER OAKS ELEVATED. AND YOU'LL SEE THE DOOR THERE. THE DOOR WAS FABRICATED WHEN THE TANK WAS BUILT BY SIMPLY CUTTING A SQUARE OUT OF THE STANDPIPE AND WELDING HINGES ON. SO EVERY YEAR DURING THE WINTERTIME, WE'RE FRANTICALLY TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO INSULATE IT AND PROTECT THE INSIDE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND TELEMETRY FROM FREEZING, BECAUSE

[02:20:01]

SO I'D LIKE TO FOR SURE REHABILITATE THAT AND SEE WHAT WE COULD ACCOMPLISH THERE WITH A PROJECTION OF $5 MILLION FOR BOTH OF THOSE. OUR PUMP STATIONS HAVE BEEN KIND OF PUT ON THE BACK BURNER FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. SO I'D LIKE TO GET CAUGHT UP ON THE REHABILITATION OF ALL OF OUR PUMP HOUSES. AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY NONE OF THEM HAVE REALLY BEEN UPGRADED SIGNIFICANTLY OR REHABILITATED SINCE THEY WERE BUILT. THIS THESE TWO PUMP STATIONS WE'RE LOOKING AT AS SUMMIT PUMP STATION, WHICH WAS BUILT AROUND 85, AND I THINK DANIEL DALE IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT, I BELIEVE THAT WAS CONSTRUCTED AROUND 80 CLOSE TO THE SAME TIME, 85, 87, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO WE'RE ASKING FOR APPROXIMATELY EIGHT, $8.4 MILLION TO REHABILITATE ALL OF OUR PUMP HOUSES THROUGHOUT THE CITY. AND ON THE LOWER RIGHT HAND PICTURE, IS THAT A WATER LEAK, OR WAS SOMEBODY WORKING ON THAT RECENTLY? THAT IS THE MECHANICAL SEALS OF THE PUMP WHEN IT OPERATES. SO BASICALLY THE PACKING AROUND THAT PUMP NEEDS TO BE FIXED WHENEVER IT WORKS, WHEN IT DOESN'T, WHEN IT'S NOT RUNNING, IT DOESN'T LEAK. AND THEN AS WE'VE TALKED BEFORE AMI WATER METER REPLACEMENT. SO WE'RE ASSUMING A 25% METER BOX REPLACEMENT. WE'RE ALSO ASSUMING A 100 METER BOX LID REPLACEMENT, BECAUSE WE KNOW THE CURRENT LIDS WE HAVE ON ALL OF OUR METER BOXES ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE AMI TECHNOLOGY. THAT TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION, PLUS THE COST OF METERS. WE'RE REQUESTING A $24.6 MILLION GRANT FOR THAT. LASTLY, THE WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM. SO SOME OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH CHERYL LIFT STATION. IT'S THE ONLY LIFT STATION WE HAVE IN DUNCANVILLE. IT WAS ENGINEERED TO SUPPORT FOUR HOUSES. IT CURRENTLY ONLY SERVES ONE. WE BELIEVE THAT IF WE WERE TO INSTALL NEW SEWER LINE, UPSIZE IT AND TAKE IT, REPLACE EVERYTHING THAT'S IN THAT ALLEYWAY NORTH OF CHERYL AND TAKE IT DOWN. I BELIEVE THAT'S ELEANORA. CROSS UNDERNEATH CAMP WISDOM AND TIE IT INTO THAT ALLEYWAY THAT'S JUST BEHIND THE LAWNWOOD NURSING HOME. I WAS ACTUALLY THE INSPECTOR WHEN THEY LAID THAT NEW SEWER MAIN. SO WE'VE DONE A LOT OF THE PRELIMINARY WORK TO KNOW FOR SURE THAT IF WE LAID NEW SEWER MAIN UPSIZE IT, THAT WE COULD ACTUALLY DO AWAY WITH CHERYL LIFT STATION AND BE A ZERO LIFT STATION CITY, WHICH REALLY EXCITES ME. SO TO YOUR POINT THAT IT ONLY SERVES AT THE UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER OF THE HOUSE WITH THE SWIMMING POOL ON THE CORNER OF CHERYL AND HILL CITY, IS THAT CORRECT? YEAH. IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT CHERYL BOULEVARD, THE HOUSE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF IT. YEAH. THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF HILL CITY.

AND CHERYL. RIGHT. AND THAT'S A DOUBLE PUMP THAT YOU HAVE TO CONTINUALLY DO MAINTENANCE ON.

YEAH. IT'S A LITTLE GRINDER PUMP. IT'S A ONE HORSEPOWER GRINDER PUMP. AND YEAH THAT'S CURRENTLY THE ONLY HOUSE THAT SERVES. BUT THE WELL ITSELF IS, WAS ENGINEERED TO SUPPORT ALL FOUR OF THOSE HOUSES. THE OTHER THREE JUST NEVER SIGNED ON THE CITY SEWER. SO WE'RE ASKING FOR $2 MILLION FOR THOSE IMPROVEMENTS. AND WITH THAT, I WILL LET MISS MUHAMMAD WALK YOU THROUGH STREETS AND TRANSPORTATION. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, COUNCIL AND CITY MANAGER. SO THIS IS SAAD MUHAMMAD, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS. AND TODAY I'LL BE WALKING US THROUGH THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE ARE SEEKING FOR GRANTS RELATED TO THE STREETS AND TRANSPORTATION. SOME OF THE AWARDS THAT WE CAN THAT WE HAVE RECENTLY. GOT

[02:25:02]

WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH COG ON SUBMITTING THE CEDAR RIDGE CORRIDOR RECONSTRUCTION. THE MAIN STREET IN CAMP WISDOM UP INTERSECTIONS, RECONSTRUCTION AND REGRADING, AS WELL AS THE DUNCANVILLE WORK ZONE UPDATES PROJECT UNDER THEIR WORK ZONE SAFETY PROGRAM. SO TO DIG A LITTLE BIT DEEPER INTO THOSE APPLICATIONS AND SOME INFORMATION ABOUT IT, WE HAVE PREVIOUSLY CAME TO COUNCIL AND TALKED MORE SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE TEXT TO PROGRAM. SO YOU'RE MORE FAMILIAR WITH THESE PROJECTS THAT WE JUST GOT A CONSENT TO DATE TO SUBMIT THE APPLICATION? THE DUE DATE ON THIS APPLICATION IS JUNE 20TH, AND I DO HAVE SOME TO STRENGTHEN OUR APPLICATION. WE REALLY HAVE BEEN SEEKING LETTERS OF SUPPORT FROM CITY OF DUNCANVILLE RESIDENTS AND CITY OF DUNCANVILLE COUNCIL. SO I DO HAVE SOME OF THOSE PHYSICAL LETTERS OF SUPPORT DRAFTS THAT WE CREATED. SO I'LL I'LL DEFINITELY KEEP THAT WITH THE CITY MANAGER HERE. AND IF ANYBODY IN ATTENDANCE THAT IS ONE AND A RESIDENT OF THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE THAT WANTS TO SUPPORT THE PROGRAM, THEY CAN JUST SIGN IT AND RETURN IT TO US AND WE WILL ATTACH THAT TO THE APPLICATION. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THESE APPLICATIONS WITH MULTIPLE ENTITIES, SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH BNSF AND WE'RE COORDINATING WITH THEM. WE'LL GET A LETTER OF SUPPORT FROM THEM. WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE DUNCANVILLE ISD, AND THERE WAS ONE UPDATE THAT I WANTED TO MAKE HERE THAT IN THE PREVIOUS PRESENTATION, YOU SAW THE NAME SMITH ELEMENTARY, AND HERE YOU SEE DANIEL ELEMENTARY. AND THAT'S THE SAME, REALLY SAME LOCATION, SAME PROJECT. THE THING IS, WE GOT AN UPDATE FROM THE ISD THAT THE SMITH ELEMENTARY IS TURNING INTO A AN EARLY EDUCATION CENTER. AND DANIEL, CURRENTLY DANIEL INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL IS TURNING INTO A DANIEL ELEMENTARY. AND THAT'S GOING TO BE THE MAIN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, WHICH IS REALLY NEXT TO IT, JUST ADJACENT ADJACENT TO THAT BUILDING. SO WOULD NOT REALLY IMPACT THE SCOPE OF WORK, BUT MAJORLY SO WE HAD CHANGED THE NAME OF THE PROJECT INTO DANIEL ELEMENTARY, AND WE HAVE COORDINATED THAT WITH TXDOT AS WELL. THIS IS A 0% MATCH OR 100% REIMBURSEMENT OPPORTUNITY. AS WE TALKED BEFORE, WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE AWARD BY THE FALL OF 2025. AND HERE IS SOME OF THE MAPS THAT WE HAVE SHARED PREVIOUSLY OF THE LOCATION AND THE SCOPE OF THESE PROPOSED PROJECTS. NOW, THE NEXT OPPORTUNITY THAT WE ARE SEEKING IS UNDER THE TXDOT FOR A OR THE SAFE STREETS FOR ALL PROGRAM. UNDER THAT ONE, WE ARE WORKING ON A TRANSPORTATION SAFE. WE ARE WORKING ON REALLY A MOBILITY AND TRANSPORTATION. YES. I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT. SENATOR HAS A QUESTION. YEAH, SORRY. MY APOLOGIES. I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO GET TOO FAR ALONG BEFORE, IF YOU DON'T MIND GOING BACK. I GUESS 2 OR 3 SLIDES RIGHT THERE. SO IT'S A 100% REIMBURSABLE. FUNDING NEEDED 2 TO 3 MONTHS WORTH OF AVAILABLE FUNDS FOR REIMBURSEMENT PROCESS. I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, HOW MUCH WOULD THE CITY HAVE ALREADY COMMITTED TO FUNDING THE PROJECT? AS WHEN WE'RE MAKING THE APPLICATION, WHILE DOING THE APPLICATION,

[02:30:05]

IT'S LIKE ABOUT 15% OF THE TOTAL ESTIMATE THAT YOU SEE HERE. FOR SOME OF THESE PROJECTS, IT'S LIKE ONE OF THE PROJECTS IS 8,000,008.6 AND THE OTHER IS 12 OR 15.9 MILLION. SO IT REALLY DEPENDS ON THE PROJECT WE GET AWARDED TO. AND ITS COST DESIGN IS 15%, 2 TO 3 MONTHS. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT $400,000 AS A ROUGH ESTIMATE, BASICALLY TO BE PRESENTED BY THE CITY AS A CAPABILITY TO AFFORD AND THEN GET REIMBURSED BACK IN 2 TO 3 MONTHS. OKAY. THANK YOU. YEAH.

NO, NO, SHE ANSWERED IT. YES, SIR. YEAH. THANK YOU. SO THE NEXT OPPORTUNITY HERE IS REALLY MORE OF A PLANNING OPPORTUNITY THAT WE ARE SEEKING. THIS IS REALLY THE LAST THE SECOND BEFORE LAST ROUND OF TEXAS FOR A. SO WITH THAT SAID, WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR PLANNING FUNDS BECAUSE A LOT OF THESE CITIES HAVE ALREADY APPLIED FOR PLANNING AND NOW THEY ARE SEEKING MORE EXECUTION FUNDS. SO IT IS A SEPARATE TWO SEPARATE PARTS OF FUNDS THAT WE ARE AMBITIOUS ABOUT GETTING AWARDED FOR. WITH THE WE ARE LOOKING TO HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATION AND MOBILITY PLAN UNDER THAT FUNDS, LEVERAGING MULTIPLE OF THOSE DIFFERENT MASTER PLANS THAT WE ARE LOOKING TO ACHIEVE AND MULTIPLE OF THE CITY GOALS IN ONE BIG PLAN WHERE IT REALLY OVERLAYS EVERYTHING TOGETHER TO CREATE PRIORITIZATION FOR PROJECTS. SO THIS THIS PLAN THAT WE'RE SUBMITTING FOR SHOULD INCLUDE A TRANSPORTATION SAFETY ACTION PLAN, A CITY, A CITYWIDE ADA TRANSITION PLAN, AND AS WELL AS A GENERAL MOBILITY AND PEDESTRIAN BIKE MASTER PLAN. AND THIS BY COORDINATING WITH OUR PARKS TEAM, WE KNOW THAT THE CITY'S OPPORTUNITIES REALLY FOR BIKE, PEDESTRIAN, REALLY TRAILS IS REALLY MOSTLY ON OUR ON THE ROADWAY NETWORK. SO WITH THAT, THIS IS REALLY A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO LEVERAGE IT IN THE SAME PLANNING EFFORTS THAT WE ARE DOING, LOOKING AT THE STREETS IN GENERAL, LOOKING AT POTENTIAL COMPLETE STREETS. WE TALKED ABOUT IT, LOOKING AT THE TRANSPORTATION, STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR THE CITY OVERALL AT ONCE, AND CREATING PRIORITY LIST OF PROJECTS FOR THAT WOULD BE THE MOST MEANINGFUL TO THE CITY. TO ADDRESS MULTIPLE GOALS. THIS PROJECT, CURRENTLY ESTIMATED TO BE A ONE POINT, A $1.23 MILLION IN TOTAL. IF WE GET AWARDED AND THE MATCH, THE CITY HAS TO PRESENT A 20% MATCH, WHICH IS ESTIMATED TO BE 244 SOMETHING WHICH IS ABOUT $245,000 THAT SITS HERE. WE WILL BE. IT'S DUE FOR SUBMISSION ON THE 26TH. WE DO HAVE LETTERS OF SUPPORT FOR THAT AS WELL, SO THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE TWO LETTERS OF SUPPORT FOR TWO DIFFERENT GRANTS AND PROGRAMS WITH TXDOT. AND ON THAT ONE, WE ARE ANTICIPATING TO KNOW ABOUT THE AWARD ABOUT THE SAME TIME, WHICH IS THE FALL OF 2025, AND FUNDING WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR 27 THROUGH 28. SO NEXT UP AND NEXT ONE IS THE COG. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT WORKING ON GRANT APPLICATIONS WITH COG. SO ONE OF THE GRANT APPLICATIONS WITH COG. ORIGINALLY THE THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND IT WAS FOCUSING ON DOING THE CEDAR RIDGE SECTION. AND I'LL GO TO THIS ONE WHILE WE'RE TALKING BECAUSE I WANT TO SHOW YOU ON THE MAP, WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT CEDAR RIDGE BEING WE'VE DONE A CORRIDOR STUDY ON CEDAR RIDGE TO LOOK AT THE NEEDS AND, AND WHERE TO

[02:35:05]

NOW, THIS SECTION OF THE WORK IS 100% AT 100% DESIGN. AND WE ARE READY TO BID OUT FOR WORK. NOW, THE REASON WHY WE STALLED A LITTLE BIT ON ISSUING THE WORK OUT FOR BID WAS OUR COORDINATION WITH COG, BECAUSE THE GOAL ORIGINALLY WAS TO SEE IF WE WERE ABLE TO SUBMIT THE WHOLE CORRIDOR AND ACCOUNT FOR THIS PIECE OF WORK AND THE AVAILABLE BUDGET TO DO IT, TO BASICALLY DO OUR 20% MATCH. HOWEVER, THE RESPONSES WE GOT FROM COG IS THAT THAT CAN'T BE DONE. SO WE WILL HAVE TO REALLY PROCEED WITH CEDAR RIDGE, WHICH IS SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT IN THE FUTURE AND COME IN WITH YOU REGARDING THE BID OF THAT ITEM OR OF THAT PROJECT. BUT. IN ASIDE FROM THAT, WE REALLY STILL PURSUED ADDRESSING CEDAR RIDGE IN GENERAL WITH COG, AND WE ARE STILL SEEKING A GRANT APPLICATION TO DO THE REST OF THE CEDAR RIDGE AS IT STILL NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. AND IT WAS RECOMMENDED BY COG TO SUBMIT FOR THE REST OF THE PROJECT.

NOW, THE OTHER PROJECT HERE THAT WE SUBMITTED WITH COG IS THE MAIN STREET IN CAMP WISDOM ROAD, AND THAT IS AN INTERSECTION THAT WE KNOW HAVE A GREAT ISSUE FOR THE FOR THE RAILROAD. ANOTHER QUESTION FOR MR. I'M SORRY. NO, NO IT'S OKAY. YES, SIR. SORRY. THANK YOU. MAYOR. SO WITH THE CEDAR RIDGE ROAD PROJECT AND THIS IS PROBABLY, I GUESS I CAN ASK THE CITY ATTORNEY IS NOT HERE, SO I CAN ASK ANYTHING. SO. BUT ARE THERE ANY DISCUSSIONS WITH THE BOND COMMITTEE ON ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO COMPLETE THE PROJECTS THAT WERE PLANNED IN 2017? SO WE ACTUALLY HAD A MEETING LAST NIGHT WHERE WE'RE REALLY STARTING TO THAT GET TO THAT POINT WHERE WE'RE ROLLING UP OUR SLEEVES AND DIGGING INTO IT. SO WE HAD CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC INTERSECTION. BUT THE CEDAR RIDGE, I THINK THAT THAT WAS WE DIDN'T DISCUSS THAT, BUT THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY BUDGETED. CORRECT. RIGHT. WE DID NOT DISCUSS THAT BECAUSE THE BUDGET IS AVAILABLE TO DO THAT SECTION OF THE PROJECT, NOT THE WHOLE CORRIDOR, BUT THAT SECTION THAT WAS IDENTIFIED IN THE BOND PROGRAM OR AFTER THE BOND PROGRAM IS TO BE ADDRESSED. SO YEAH, THAT'S AVAILABLE IN THE BUDGET. WE DON'T NEED TO PROVIDE IT, YOU KNOW, ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO ADDRESS IT. BUT ON THIS INTERSECTION, WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT YESTERDAY AS, AS MR. FINCH JUST MENTIONED, BECAUSE THIS ONE IS STILL SHORT. SO WE DO HAVE $1.5 MILLION UNDER THE PREVIOUS BOND FUNDS FOR THIS PROJECT. WHILE CURRENT ESTIMATES, AS THE SCOPE LOOKS LIKE NOW WITH IN THE PICTURE IS AN ALMOST OVER $7 MILLION IN TOTAL. SO THAT IS A BIG ADJUSTMENT TO MAKE. AND WE AND AS A RESULT, WE HAVE SUBMITTED THIS TO COG AS A GRANT APPLICATION, HOPING THAT THE 1.5 MILLION AVAILABLE CAN BE LEVERAGED AS THE CITY'S 20% MATCH. IF THIS PROJECT GETS ELECTED AND GET AWARDED. BUT WE WERE INFORMED THAT THIS TAKES LIKE 2 TO 3 YEARS AT LEAST, BECAUSE WE'RE ON A QUEUE, BASICALLY WAITING ON FUNDS AND COMPETING WITH OTHER CITIES. SO JUST TO SUMMARIZE. SO WE'RE GOOD TO ESSENTIALLY GO ON CEDAR RIDGE THAT'S MOVING FORWARD. BUT WE'RE 5 TO $6 MILLION SHORT FOR COMPLETING THIS PROJECT, AS IT WAS DESCRIBED IN THE 2018 BOND. FOR THIS MAIN AT CAMP WISDOM. SO THE GOOD NEWS WE HAVE ALREADY AWARDED SOME OF THESE GRANT OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE HAVE BEEN SEEKING. SO THE FIRST ONE IS A TXDOT SS FOR IP. SO WE TALKED ABOUT THE HIGHWAY SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM WITH TXDOT.

WE HAVE SUBMITTED A PROJECT AND THEY'RE SMALL SCALE PROJECTS, WHICH IS THE IMPROVEMENTS TO WHEATLAND ROAD INTERSECTIONS. AND ON THAT ONE WE THE PROJECT ESTIMATE WAS $568,000. WE HAVE.

[02:40:06]

AND THAT'S REALLY A PLATFORM THAT'S GOING TO BE USED BY MULTIPLE PUBLIC WORKS DIVISIONS LIKE TRAFFIC OPERATIONS, STREETS, UTILITIES AND OTHER GROUPS THAN ANY GROUP THAT IS DOING WORK ON THIS DUNCANVILLE ROADWAY NETWORKS. WE TO INCLUDE OTHER ENTITIES. THE PLATFORM WILL PROVIDE A CLEAR AND DIGITALIZED WORK ZONE PROCESS CAPTURE CLOSURES THROUGHOUT THE CITY. IT'S GOING TO SHOW SOME INFORMATION ABOUT ONGOING PROJECTS THAT IS INTERACTIVE WITH PUBLIC. IT CAN SUGGEST ALTERNATIVE ROUTES, ROUTES TO TAKE ON THE ON ON YOUR. RIDE. IF YOU'RE DRIVING ON THOSE STREETS THAT HAS WORK AND IT'S GOING TO BE BASICALLY AN INTERACTIVE MAP TO COMMUNICATE AND HAVE TRANSPARENCY WITH RESIDENTS ABOUT PROJECTS AND WORK THAT IS ONGOING IN THE CITY AND WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE ALSO INPUT ON FINDING A POTHOLE AS YOU'RE DRIVING, AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE THAT BACK TO US THROUGH A TWO. THE STATUS OF THIS PROJECT IS ALSO WORKING ON INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH COG THAT WE'RE WE'RE DRAFTING RIGHT NOW FOR AWARD. AND THIS IS IN SOME PICTURES OF HOW IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE WHEN WE HAVE THIS INTERACTIVE MAPS FOR ROADWAY CLOSURES. IT'S GOING TO BE ADDED TO THE MAPS THAT WE HAVE, AND IT'S GOING TO SHOW WHERE THE CLOSURES OCCURRING IN THE CITY. AND IT CAN ALSO COORDINATE LIKE TEXT DOT ANY OTHER ENTITIES THAT ARE WORKING ON THE DUNCANVILLE AREA AS WELL AND HAVE INFORMATION, LIFETIME INFORMATION ON CLOSURES, END OF CLOSURES, ONGOING PROJECTS, POTHOLES, THINGS LIKE THAT. AND AT THE END, REALLY, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AHEAD IS REALLY ACHIEVING SOME OF THESE MORE OF THESE GRANTS. AND WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE COMMITTED TO CONTINUING TO SEEK OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF FUNDS TO HELP THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE GROWTH OF THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE. AND WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT. AND I'LL LEAVE THE LETTERS OF SUPPORT FOR THOSE APPLICATIONS WITH MR. FINCH FOR SIGNATURE. THANK YOU. SO THE TOTAL OF THE TWO, I THINK WHAT YOU PHRASED AS GOOD NEWS AWARDS ON PAGE 117, SCREEN 117 AND 118.

YES. WHAT WAS THAT TOTAL AMOUNT. SO YOU GOT 68, 568 AND 219. SO A TOTAL OF ALMOST $800,000. VERY GOOD. THAT IS GOOD NEWS. YEAH. GOOD START. YES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU MAYOR, TO OUR PUBLIC WORKS TEAM. I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE THIS. THIS IS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING. AND WE HADN'T SEEN IT IN A FEW YEARS. AND TO SEE THIS AND TO SEE THAT YOU ARE GOING OUT AND ACTIVELY DOING

[02:45:03]

WATER IS SUCH A BIG ASSET FOR THE CITY AND TO GET THAT SITUATION TAKEN CARE OF AND TO SEE ALL THIS AND ALL THE WORK THAT'S GOING IN AND PAYING OFF, IT'S JUST EXCITING. THANK YOU.

I'VE GOT ANOTHER QUESTION UP, BUT I WANT TO I WANT TO, ESPECIALLY IN THE ABSENCE OF OUR CITY ATTORNEY. I DON'T WANT TO CROSS THE LINE ON A CITIZEN INPUT QUESTION. SO I'M NOT GOING THERE. BUT I WILL SAY THAT WHEN WE'RE DESCRIBING. STREET MAINTENANCE UTILITIES. A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT YOU'RE DESCRIBING HERE, DOES ANY OF THIS ADDRESS ANY ISSUES WE MIGHT HAVE IN THESE AREAS THAT COULD PERTAIN TO. ADA ISSUES, ESPECIALLY THE TECHNOLOGY SIDE? THAT IS WHAT GIVES PEOPLE AUDIBLE ALERTS WHEN THEY'RE CROSSING. ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO UPDATE ANY OF THAT AND GET IT? WELL, THE WHEATLAND ROAD UPGRADES THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, THE HIGHWAY SAFETY IMPROVEMENT, THAT ONE WILL DO THAT ON ALL OF THE WHEATLAND ROAD INTERSECTIONS. SO ON THIS ONE, THAT'S A SAFETY THAT'S A SPECIFIC SAFETY IMPROVEMENT. SO IT'S GOING TO BE DOING ALL OF THESE UPGRADES. NOW SOME OF THESE CONCERNS THAT HAVE WAS SHARED IS REALLY COMING FROM AN AGING INFRASTRUCTURE. A CASE OF LIKE THESE PUSH BUTTONS ARE JUST GOING OUT OF LIFE OR BEING. AND THEN WE HAVE WE'RE SHORT ON REALLY THE FUNDS OF RENEWING THOSE ALL AT ONCE. SO WE'RE WORKING A LITTLE BY LITTLE BASICALLY. SO THAT'S REALLY THE CASE OF WHERE IT STANDS TODAY.

BUT WE ARE HAVING THAT IN MIND BECAUSE BASED ON THAT SPECIFIC RESIDENT THAT JUST COMPLAINED, WE KNOW THAT SHE ALWAYS CROSSES BY WHEATLAND ROAD. SO IN FACT, ONE OF THE PRIORITIZATION FACTORS WE HAD WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT BEST ROAD TO SUBMIT THE APPLICATION FOR TALKING TO OUR SUPERINTENDENT IN TRAFFIC, THAT HER SITUATION AND SPECIFIC WAS MENTIONED. AND WE CONSIDERED IN LOOKING AT IN SELECTION OF THIS STREET AND I'M GOING WAY OUT IN LEFT FIELD. DOES ANY OF THIS ADDRESS THE ISSUES THAT ARE FIRST RESPONDERS HAVE WITH LACK OF ABILITY TO CONTROL THE SIGNAL LIGHTS WHEN THEY'RE GOING THROUGH? I UNDERSTAND THAT MAYBE THERE'S SOME NOT ANY OF THIS ONE. WE ARE NOT ANY OF THESE SPECIFIC, YOU KNOW, GRANT APPLICATIONS WE MENTIONED, BUT THERE POTENTIALLY COULD BE GRANT APPLICATIONS TO SEEK. WE'RE GOING TO BE IN THE LOOKOUT FOR ANY POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITIES, BECAUSE THOSE ARE ON THE TOP OF THE PRIORITY PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE MENTIONED.
