[00:00:10]

WAITING FOR MR. HAGER TO COME ON BOARD. MEANTIME, WE HAVE LEGAL REPRESENTATION, AND WE HAVE A QUORUM. MR. PENNEBAKER AND MR. BURKE WILL NOT BE ATTENDING THE MEETING TONIGHT.

[WORK SESSION / BRIEFING ]

YEAH, WE CAN WE CAN WE CAN MAKE THAT CORRECTION. SO. FOR THAT. ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. WE'RE GOOD.

OKAY. ITEM SEVEN B CONSIDER RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF UNIFORMS AND UNIFORM ACCESSORIES FOR THE IMPACT PROMOTIONAL SERVICES, LLC. DBA GOT YOU COVERED THROUGH THE VYBORG COOPERATIVE CONTRACT NUMBER 773-5 FOR THE FOR THE DISCOUNTED UNIT PRICING, WHICH WILL RESULT IN ESTIMATED ANNUAL EXPENDITURES OF 65,000 ON A YEAR TO YEAR BASIS FOR FIVE YEARS, WITH AN ESTIMATED EXPENDITURES OF 948,000. WE DID BRIEF CITY COUNCIL ON THIS ABOUT A MONTH OR SO AGO. WE'RE BASICALLY GOING BACK TO YOU GOT YOU COVERED. AND I BELIEVE CHIEF KENNEALY AND CHIEF'S DAUGHTER WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS SPECIFICALLY ON THIS? I JUST WANT TO ASK ABOUT THE AVAILABLE BUDGET. SO 165,000 IS THE COST.

BUT AVAILABLE BUDGET SAYS ONLY 143. AND THEN PURCHASE AMOUNT IN A AFTER COMMENT. SO FOR THIS YEAR BUDGET, I THINK WE ARE COVERED. BUT GOING FORWARD, WE WOULD HAVE RICHARD JACKSON PROBABLY ANSWER THAT QUESTION ON THE SPECIFICS. YEAH. SO ALSO GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBER. GOOD. AND PART OF IT IS CLOSING OUT THE PO FROM THE PREVIOUS VENDOR AS WELL WHICH WOULD OPEN UP BUDGET. SO WHEN THEY WHEN THEY WHEN THEY PUT THAT IN, IT WAS JUST THE AVAILABLE BUDGET LINE AS IT READ AT THAT PARTICULAR POINT IN TIME. BUT THAT YEAH, THE PO WITH THE VENDOR THAT THEY'RE MOVING AWAY FROM, WE GET CLOSED OUT, WHICH WOULD FREE UP BUDGET. PERFECT. THANK YOU. YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. OKAY. WE HAVE MR. HAGER ON. YES.

BOB, CAN YOU. ALL RIGHT. GOOD DEAL. THANK YOU. ITEM SEVEN C IS CONSIDER RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE TO EXECUTE THE RENEWAL AND INTERLOCAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT FOR THE REGIONAL FIRE PROTECTION. THIS IS AUTOMATIC AID BETWEEN THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE, THE CITY OF CEDAR HILL, AND THE CITY OF DESOTO. WE'VE HAD THIS AGREEMENT IN PLACE FOR SEVERAL DECADES, AND REALLY WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS JUST UPDATING AND RENEWING IT. WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH ALL THE OTHER CITIES ON THIS. THEY'LL BE DOING THE SAME.

IT'S BEEN REVIEWED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY. AND SO WE'RE AVAILABLE. ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU CAN HERE. IF THERE'S ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT THE AGREEMENT JUST FOR THE PUBLIC'S BENEFIT. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE AUTOMATIC AID? YES. AUTOMATIC AID IS WHERE WHEN WE'RE DISPATCHED TO A STRUCTURE FIRE ANYWHERE IN THE TRI CITIES, NOT THE QUAD CITIES, IN THIS CASE, THE TRI CITIES THAT WE'RE ALL DISPATCHED AT THE SAME TIME. SO WE HAVE ASSISTANCE FROM BEYOND DUNCANVILLE, CEDAR HILL AND SOTO. AND IT'S A VERY COMMON TYPE OF AGREEMENT. THE CHALLENGE IS, IS IT HADN'T BEEN UPDATED SINCE 2001. WHAT'S HERE? DO YOU SEE THIS BEST PRACTICE DOCUMENT I'VE SHOWED Y'ALL ONCE BEFORE? DO COUNCIL MEMBER DAVIS. HE HASN'T SEEN IT, BUT IT'S JUST ONE OF MANY THINGS THAT FORCES US TO STAY ON TOP OF WHAT WE'RE DOING. THE ONLY CHANGES TO THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FROM 2001, QUITE FRANKLY, WAS CEDAR HILLS WAS PLURAL VERSUS CEDAR HILLS SINGULAR. AND THE LAW FIRM HAD MOVED FROM THEIR OFFICE FROM BACK THEN. SAME LAW FIRM, THOUGH, AND THEY HAD THE WRONG NAME FOR THE REGIONAL MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR. AND SO THEY MADE THOSE MINOR CORRECTIONS. AND IT'S FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION TONIGHT. QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. ITEM SEVEN D IS CONSIDER RESOLUTION APPROVING THIS. THE MIDDLE OF THE FY 2020 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK ACTIVITY

[00:05:05]

CAN WE PULL THIS ITEM IN THE INTEREST OF TIME? I HAVE A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS. SO IF WE COULD PULL IT IN, BETTER DISCUSS IT OUT ON THE DAIS. OKAY. EVERYBODY OKAY WITH THAT? SO IT COULD BE MOVED TO THE END OF INDIVIDUAL. SO IT'S GOING TO BE E THAT CORRECT? YES. OKAY.

THANK YOU. SO ITEM SEVEN E IS CONSIDER RESOLUTION AWARDING AN RFQ 2026-0006 AND AUTHORIZING INDEFINITE DELIVERY INDEFINITE QUANTITY OR DIQ AS WE SAY, MASTER SERVICES WITH THE FIRMS OUTLINED IN EXHIBIT A AND PROVIDE GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING MATERIALS TESTING AND SURVEYING SERVICES TO THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE FROM JUNE OF THIS YEAR TO JUNE 2ND OF 2031, NOT EXCEEDING A TOTAL CONTRACT AMOUNT OF $300,000 PER FIRM OVER THE FIVE YEARS. THIS IS JUST FOR ALL OUR GENERAL SERVICES. FOR THAT, WE WOULD USE FOR GEOTECHNICAL MATERIALS TESTING AND SURVEY SERVICES IN THE COURSE OF OUR PROJECTS. PUBLIC WORKS IS HERE IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS. YEAH. OKAY. ITEM SEVEN F CONSIDER RESOLUTION AWARDING A BID AND AUTHORIZING A COOPERATIVE PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH RUSH TRUCK CENTERS OF TEXAS LP, DBA RUSH BUS CENTERS TO PURCHASE A G5 COMMERCIAL BUS THROUGH THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT PURCHASING COOPERATIVE BY BOARD CONTRACT 722-23 AND THE EXPENDITURE AMOUNT OF $122,053. THIS WAS A BUDGETED ITEM TO REPLACE THE BUS AT THE SENIOR CENTER. AND SO THIS THIS PURCHASE WOULD DO THAT. SO WE ARE DEFINITELY READY TO MOVE FORWARD AND GETTING THAT VEHICLE REPLACED.

SO HAVE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE YET? NO. THIS WOULD AUTHORIZE US TO GO DO THAT. AND THE QUOTE EXPIRED MAY 2326 IS STILL GOOD. YES, IT SHOULD STILL BE GOOD ACCORDING TO OUR PURCHASING DEPARTMENT. SO SO MATT, WE GOT A FEW MILES ON THAT SENIOR BUS 100. YEAH, I'VE SEEN IT. IT NEEDS TO BE RETIRED. AND THE LAST ITEM IS SEVEN G CONSIDERED AN ORDINANCE FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE PARKING SIGNS ALONG FAIRWOOD PLACE. WE DID RECEIVE CITY COUNCIL ON THIS RECENTLY WORKING WITH THE NEIGHBORS. THIS WOULD REMOVE THOSE THOSE NO PARKING SIGNS VERY CLOSE TO THE HOUSE, SO ALLOWABLE PARKING FOR THE NEIGHBORS. IF APPROVED TONIGHT, WE WOULD GO OUT THERE. WE'VE ALREADY DONE THE MEASUREMENTS. IT'S REFLECTED IN THE ORDINANCE AND WE'LL GO OUT AND. SIGN. OKAY. SO THE LOCATION ON THE DIAGRAM, I DIDN'T PRINT THAT, BUT ON THE DIAGRAM IS FROM THAT POINT WEST WILL BE OPEN FOR PARKING. YES. OKAY. AND THE NEIGHBORS ARE AWARE OF THAT EXACT LOCATION AND THEY'RE. YES. AND YEAH. IN ORDER IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THE SPECIFIC SIGNS ON THE WEST SIDE, THEY ASKED TO REMOVE, WE HAD TO GO OUT AND PHYSICALLY MEASURE IT BASED ON THAT MEASUREMENT. IF WE REMOVE THOSE SIGNS JUST FOR MY INFORMATION, HOW MANY APPROXIMATELY HOW MANY MORE VEHICLES AVERAGE SIZED VEHICLES CAN. 14 TO 15 ADDITIONAL SPACES FOR THE INVESTMENT? THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE? THANK YOU. THAT CONCLUDES THE CONSENT AGENDA. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. CITY COUNCIL. CALENDAR. CITY SECRETARY. THANK YOU, MAYOR, FOR JUNE 2026 CALENDAR. JUNE 4TH IS A LIBRARY ADVISORY BOARD MEETING AND LIBRARY. JUNE 6TH IS THE LIBRARY SUMMER READING CLUB KICKOFF, AND THAT'S AT THE DUNCANVILLE LIBRARY FROM 11 TO 1 P.M. 11 A.M. TO 1 P.M. JUNE 8TH IS A PARK BOARD MEETING AND A PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING. JUNE 11TH IS A COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ADVISORY BOARD MEETING, AND THE ODIN YEAR ARTS AND BUSINESS MIXER, WHICH IS FROM 6 TO 8 P.M. AND ON THE 13TH WE HAVE THE JUNIOR GRAND PRIX THAT'S AT THE LIBRARY AND THE JUNETEENTH, THE BEST SOUTHWEST JUNETEENTH FESTIVAL, WHICH IS 11 TO 10 P.M. AT VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK IN

[00:10:06]

28TH IS A BUDGET WORKSHOP AND ALSO ARTS COMMISSION MEETING. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU. YES. SO. YESTERDAY AFTER I LEFT EARLY. BUT IS THERE ANY FOLLOW UPS, ANYTHING WE NEED TO SCHEDULE IN REGARDS TO FOREST COMMISSION? YES THERE IS, BUT GIVEN THAT TWO MEMBERS ARE GONE RIGHT NOW. I THINK IT MIGHT BE BETTER IF WE GOT MAYBE DID THIS BY EMAIL AND TRIED TO SEE IF WE COULD COORDINATE A MEETING TIME FOR THAT. WE HAVE ONE MEMBER THAT CAME IN AFTERWARDS. I DON'T KNOW THAT THE NO SHOWS. ARE WE GOING TO REACH OUT TO THEM AGAIN OR WE WILL REACH OUT TO THEM? SO THERE WERE THREE OF THOSE. WE HAVE HAD TWO, TWO, NO SHOWS. AND THEN THE GENTLEMAN AND ONE THAT WE DID CHAT WITH HIM. BUT OFF THE RECORD, NOTHING ABOUT THE QUESTIONS.

BUT HE DID SAY HE'S EXCITED ABOUT COMING BACK AND GET AN INTERVIEW. SO WE DO NEED TO SCHEDULE THE NEXT INTERVIEW. FOLLOW UP INTERVIEW. OKAY. AND THEN TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THE SELECTIONS, RIGHT, BECAUSE THERE WERE PLANNING AND ZONING POSITION OPEN, IT WAS A DC, DC POSITION OPEN. SO WE'LL HAVE TO MOVE THE EXECUTIVE SESSION, PUT ALL THAT TOGETHER. I DON'T THINK THAT'S ALLOWED. I WOULD IF I COULD. I'M SORRY. THERE IS A DMZ. SO. OH ABSOLUTELY.

ABSOLUTELY. OKAY. SO WE WILL MOVE ON TO. BRIEFING. THERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT. SO I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE INTO WORK SESSION ITEM THREE BRIEFINGS AND PRESENTATIONS.

FIRST ONE IS BRIEF BRIDGE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM BRIEF. GOOD EVENING MAYOR COUNCIL, CITY STAFF. SO THIS IS SHAHEED MUHAMMAD. THIS IS THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS. TODAY I'M GOING TO WALK YOU THROUGH THE BRIDGE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM THAT WE JUST INITIATED. AND THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS UNDER THE STREETS DIVISION. WITH ME HERE IS JOHNNY MURRAY, OUR STREET SUPERINTENDENT. AND THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TO SUPPORT IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS. SO THE THE REASON WE INITIATED THIS BRIDGE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM RECENTLY IS THE FACT THAT THE CITY RECEIVES TEX DOT BRIDGE INSPECTION REPORTS, USUALLY EVERY 2 TO 3

[00:15:05]

THANKFULLY, THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE DID NOT HAVE ANY SERIOUS OR ANY CRITICAL ISSUES OTHER THAN THE RECOMMENDED REPAIRS THAT CAME IN THIS SHAPE SHAPE. USUALLY IT'S A IT'S A VERY BIG REPORT, AND THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF HOW THEY WOULD REALLY LOOK AT EVERY ASPECT AND GIVE US A SCORE AND A RATING FOR IT. SO THERE APPEARS TO BE MADE USUALLY RANGE FROM VERY MINOR REPAIRS THAT CAN BE LIKE RELATED TO JUST GUARDRAILS OR, YOU KNOW, SOME REPLACEMENTS AND PAVEMENT PATCHES OR FIXING SOME OF THE BRIDGE WALLS INTO REALLY MORE OF A MAJOR REPAIRS. IT DEPENDS ON THE REPORT FOR OUR CITY STAFF. WITH THE LEADERSHIP OF JOHN, HE WAS ABLE TO DO ANOTHER ROUND OF INSPECTION INTERNALLY FOR ALL OF THE BRIDGES WHERE THEY COULD REALLY REFER BACK TO THE RECOMMENDED REPAIRS AND SEE WHAT CAN BE ACHIEVED IN-HOUSE VERSUS WHAT HAS TO BE REALLY CONTRACTED. AND I IDENTIFY THOSE. SO THAT WAS OUR FIRST ROUND, AND THEN WE STARTED THE REPAIRS THAT WE COULD DO IN-HOUSE BY THE CREWS, AND WHICH WAS ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THE REPAIRS ON TWO BRIDGES, THE ESTUARY BRIDGE AND THE THE BRIDGE AT CROCKER HILL, DANIEL DALE. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE IDENTIFIED LIST OF CONTRACTOR BRIDGES TO BE DONE. AND THESE ARE THE SIX BRIDGES THAT WAS IDENTIFIED TO BE CONTRACTED FOR REPAIRS THAT ARE RELATED TO JOINT SEALING AND CRACK SEALING. THAT IS STILL OUT OF THE CAPABILITIES OF THE TEAM TO ADDRESS, AT THIS POINT, ESTIMATED COST FOR THOSE REPAIRS ARE $50,000, AND BY OUR ONE OF OUR EXISTING CONTRACTORS, THE BIGGEST REPAIRS WE COULD FOUND WERE. THE BIGGEST ISSUE WE COULD FOUND ON THE REPORT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BRIDGE ON MAIN STREET. AND AS YOU SEE IN THE PICTURES, UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THERE WAS A REGULAR MAINTENANCE OR ANY PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM IN PLACE.

HOWEVER, IT'S IT'S IT WAS NOT. SO WE HAVE A MAJOR REPAIR ISSUE AT THIS POINT THAT WE HAVE TO ADDRESS BEFORE IT BECOMES MORE CRITICAL. SAFETY CONCERNS. SO THIS IS ESTIMATED TO BE $138,000 BY ACTUALLY ALSO ONE OF OUR EXISTING CONCRETE REPAIR CONTRACTORS. YES. SO HOW EXACTLY HOW IS THAT REPAIRED? IT'S NOT REPAIRED YET. THESE ARE HOW WOULD IT BE REPAIRED? WHAT'S THE GABION WALLS OR WHAT'S PUT IN PLACE? IT'S A CONCRETE. IT'S GOING TO BE A CONCRETE SIMILARLY SAME AS WHAT WAS THERE BEFORE. YES. SAME AS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REMOVE WHAT WE NEED TO REMOVE AND REAPPLY CONCRETE ON THAT. LET ME GO BACK. YEAH, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO CLEAN THIS. AND WE DO. SORRY. YEAH. REDO THE CONCRETE. OKAY. YEAH. IS THERE ARE THERE ANY BETTER METHODS TO. WE CAN EXPLORE, WE CAN EXPLORE WHAT CAN BE DONE MORE SPECIFIC TO THAT LOCATION? IF WE WERE TO DO THAT, WE DEFINITELY WOULD DO WOULD NEED AN ENGINEER TO LOOK AT IT INSTEAD OF JUST DOING REPAIRS BY A CONTRACTOR DIRECTLY. IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE LIKE TWO STEPS WHERE WE INVOLVE A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER TO REVIEW OPTIONS FOR THAT SPECIFIC LOCATION BASED ON CONDITION, AND THEN WE WOULD MOVE INTO A CONTRACTOR TO DO THE WORK THAT'S RECOMMENDED, WHETHER IT'S GOING TO BE THE SAME OR NOT, THAT'S GOING TO BE IDENTIFIED BASED ON THAT. I MAY JUST NOT I'M NO ENGINEER. I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING, BUT I'M JUST THINKING LONG TERM, IF THERE'S A BETTER WAY TO DO IT. MAKE IT MORE SECURE IN THE LONG

[00:20:03]

THANK THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. JUST REALLY QUICK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR FOR YOUR PRESENTATION ON SLIDE 13. YOU, YOU LIST SOME OF THOSE MINOR THINGS THAT CAME OUT OF THE TWO YEAR REPORT. IS THERE ANY PROJECTION AS TO WHEN THOSE WILL START? IS THIS DONE? WELL, I MEAN, SO THAT WAS THE TWO YEAR REPORT. BUT WHAT COMES OUT OF THAT, WHAT IF I FOLLOWED YOUR PRESENTATION WAS THERE WERE SOME THINGS THAT YOU ALL WERE ABLE TO DO IN-HOUSE. GREAT. YES. AND THEN OF THE REMAINING TWO ITEMS ARE THE TWO BRIDGES THAT WE WERE ADDRESSED IN. WE WERE ABLE TO ADDRESS ALREADY IN HOUSE. SO COME ON, COME ON WITH ME. ALL RIGHT. SORRY. ALL RIGHT. SO OF THESE, THAT OF THESE THAT ARE THE SEAL, IS THERE ANY PROJECTION TO WHEN THESE PROJECTS WILL START AND BE COMPLETED IN TERMS OF THIS, THIS SET OF REPAIRS, IF I CATEGORIZE THOSE. SO BASICALLY WE'RE BRINGING THIS UP HERE BECAUSE WE WANTED TO SHOW YOU WHAT WE ARE DOING AND WHAT WE PLAN TO DO AND THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH IT TO BASICALLY GET ALSO SOME AUTHORIZATION ON HOW THE FUNDS WILL BE, BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO BE THAT, AS IT STANDS TODAY, IS NOT BUDGETED IN ANY OF OUR BUDGETS. SO WE DO NOT HAVE A BRIDGE REPAIR BUDGET OR ANY ASSOCIATED BUDGETS WITH BRIDGE MAINTENANCE, WHETHER IT PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE OR, OR LIKE MAJOR MAINTENANCE. SO WHAT WE ARE, WHAT WE ARE PRESENTING HERE IS THE NEED AND WHAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE THE SOURCES TO FUND THAT. IF WE IDENTIFY THAT, THAT'S GOING TO REALLY DETERMINE THE TIME FRAME, WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO DO THIS. BUT WE DO HAVE EXISTING CONTRACTS IN PLACE, SO IT'S GOING TO BE FAIRLY QUICKLY TO ACT ON. ONCE WE HAVE THE FUNDING DEFINED METHOD. YEAH, THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND I JUST WANTED TO FOLLOW UP WITH THAT AND MAKE SOMEWHAT OF A OF A COMMENT. I THINK THAT EVEN AS TO MY COLLEAGUE, COUNCIL MEMBER KOONTZ'S QUESTION ABOUT WHAT, YOU KNOW, WHAT COULD BE DONE DIFFERENTLY IN THAT SCENARIO AT THE MAIN STREET BRIDGE, I THINK MISS MUHAMMAD MENTIONED EARLIER THAT IT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE FLAGGED IN OUR, YOU KNOW, IN PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE AS A AS A GO FORWARD. AND SO I THINK, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE A PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROGRAM AND HAVE THE NECESSARY FUNDS, I THINK, ALLOCATED FOR THAT TO ENSURE THAT AS WE EVERY BIENNIALLY GET THOSE REPORTS THAT WE'RE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE CAN DO IN-HOUSE AND ALSO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE'RE ABLE TO, TO DO FROM A BUDGETARY PERSPECTIVE. SO I GUESS I WOULD, I WOULD HOPE, MISTER MANAGER, THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY A SOURCE OF FUND, AS YOU ALL DO YOUR BUSINESS BEHIND, YOU KNOW, YOUR OPERATIONAL WALLS TO SO THAT WHEN WE SEE THIS AGAIN OR IN ANOTHER FORM, WE HAVE A LONG TERM LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, OUR EARNEST BEST EFFORT AT CREATING AND FUNDING AND SUSTAINING A BRIDGE REPAIR AND PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. JUST REAL QUICK, I'LL GO BACK TO THAT SLIDE YOU WERE JUST TALKING. PLEASE. OH, SORRY. THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

ACTUALLY. ONE BEFORE ME. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THIS ONE. OKAY, SO 1500 SOUTH MAIN STREET, THE NORTH AND SOUTH BANKS, IS THAT CORRECT? AND IS THAT ON THE UPSTREAM SIDE WHERE MOST OF THE DAMAGE OCCURS? JOHNNY. NO. SO THESE. HELLO. HOW Y'ALL DOING? SO THESE CRACKS AND CEILINGS ARE GOING TO BE ON THE ROADWAY. THESE WON'T BE NOTHING. THAT'S GOING TO BE AN ACTUAL CULVERT ON TOP OF THE ROADWAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY, SO THEY COMPLETED TESTS SO FAR. WE WANTED TO SHOW SOME EXAMPLES OF WHAT THE TWO REPAIRS THAT THE TEAM HAVE ALREADY COMPLETED IN HOUSE AND THE NATURE OF THE REPAIRS. AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THIS IS A DRAINAGE ISSUE THAT WAS RECOMMENDED TO BE CLEANED UP FROM THESE, ALL THESE THE DIRT AND THE TREES THAT COULD REALLY HAVE AN ISSUE. A FUTURE ISSUE, IF IT WERE NOT, WOULD NOT BE ADDRESSED. HERE IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE WHERE THE TEAM ALSO WAS ABLE TO OPEN THIS AND REMOVE THE TREE THAT WAS BLOCKING WATER, DRAINING MOVEMENT. AND THIS LOCATION. THIS IS ANOTHER

[00:25:03]

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THE DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN? WE HAVE COMPLETED THE DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN. WE HAVE WE ARE. WE ACTUALLY REVIEWED AND PROVIDED THE FINAL COMMENTS FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE FINAL REPORT. WE SHALL BE ABLE TO SEND THAT BY EMAIL TO COUNCIL TO TO LOOK AT IT ALONG THE STREAM CONDITION ASSESSMENT REPORT, WHICH WE ALREADY FINALIZED. SO IT'S WE'RE JUST IN THE FINAL STEPS OF CLOSING THAT PROJECT. WE DO RECOGNIZE THAT WHEN WE BROUGHT IT UP THE LAST TIME, WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO COVER ALL THE QUESTIONS, AND WE DO INTEND TO BRING IT BACK TO COUNCIL AGAIN IN THE NEXT MONTH. I'M JUST ASKING BECAUSE EROSION AND DRAINAGE IS A BIG PART OF THIS CONVERSATION. I JUST WONDER HOW MUCH OF, YOU KNOW, PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM FOR BRIDGES CAN BE INCORPORATED INTO THAT DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN. A LOT OF THE DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN PROJECTS WERE ASSOCIATED MORE WITH THE LOOKING AT THE SIMILAR, SIMILAR THINGS, WE INSPECTED ALL OF THAT, BUT THEY FOCUSED MORE ON REALLY SYSTEM IMPACT RELATED, YOU KNOW, CAPACITY IMPACT RELATED. AND ALSO THEY LOOKED AT MAJOR PROJECTS THAT WOULD REQUIRE ENGINEERING AND REDESIGN RECONSTRUCTION INSTEAD OF LIKE THE SMALLER MINOR REPAIRS OR CLEANING OR PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE ASPECT OF IT, WHICH IS COVERED IN THIS OTHER WAY. SO THEY COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER, BUT IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE SAME THING. WE. THE PROJECT THAT THE COUNTY CAME. COMMISSIONER PRICE CAME DOWN AND TALKED TO US ABOUT ABOUT ASSESSING OUR BRIDGES DOWN HERE. WAS THERE ANY REFRESH? MY MEMORY WAS THERE WERE THERE FUNDS AVAILABLE COMING FROM THE COUNTY TO DO SOME BRIDGE REPAIRS IN DUNCANVILLE AS A PART OF THAT INTERMODAL SYSTEM OR SOMETHING, WHICH WE DID SOMETHING FOR THE INLAND INLAND PORT, THE INLAND PORT. BUT ALSO I THINK THERE'S SOME DELINEATION BETWEEN WHAT'S A COUNTY BRIDGE, WHAT'S AND WHAT'S A WHAT'S A STATE BRIDGE.

AND SO I THINK THAT'S ALSO IMPORTANT IN GERMANE TO THE CONVERSATION IS, YEAH, THERE IS A VIEW TOWARDS DRAINAGE AND CAPACITY AND STORMWATER AND ALL OF THAT. BUT THIS IS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE EVERY TWO YEAR REPORT, IF I'M CORRECT, THAT TXDOT DOES PRIMARILY LOOKING AT THE SURFACE AND THE DEGRADATION OF THOSE STATE TXDOT BRIDGES OVER TIME AND

[00:30:06]

SO JUST JUST IN ADVANCE OF THAT, MR. MANAGER WILL. IN THAT IN THAT, DO YOU CONTEMPLATE ALLOWING US. I KNOW THAT THERE MAY BE VARYING PROJECTS OF DIFFERENT PRIORITIES, AND I DON'T WANT TO DICTATE THE PRIORITIES, BUT WOULD IT BE SOME AGILITY IN WHAT YOU PRESENT TO BE ABLE TO SAY, HEY, WE DEFINITELY WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GO AND TACKLE THESE. VERSUS ANOTHER SET. SO I HOPE WE HAVE SOME AGILITY BECAUSE I'M SURE WE I'M SURE WE HAVE MORE NEEDS THAN WE HAVE RESOURCES, BUT I DO THINK THAT THERE SHOULD PROBABLY BE SOME RANKING AND PRIORITIZATION OF WHAT WE'RE ABLE TO MAKE THE MOST IMPACT OR THE MOST IMMEDIATE THINGS. I THINK THAT WOULD DEFINITELY BE PART OF THAT EXERCISE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE? THANK YOU, THANK YOU. OKAY. NEXT ITEM THREE B PARKS AND RECREATION STRATEGIC PROJECTS.

EVENING COUNCIL. CITY MANAGER. SO THIS IS PARKS AND RECREATION STRATEGIC PROJECT BRIEFING.

WE'RE JUST GOING TO GET SOME IDEAS OUT THERE FOR YOU ALL TO KIND OF CONSIDER IF THESE ARE SOME POTENTIAL OBJECTIVES THAT YOU WANT TO SEE THE CITY GO AFTER TONIGHT. SO TODAY I'LL BE COVERING SOME CONTEXT AND PROBLEM STATEMENTS. THE TWO PROJECTS SPECIFICALLY ARE GOING TO BE ENERGY AS A SERVICE. SO THE LIGHTING CONVERSION AND THEN A LAND LEASE AGREEMENT FOR A SMALL SIDED SOCCER COMPLEX OR ANOTHER SPORTS FACILITY THAT COULD POTENTIALLY MAKE SOME REVENUE. AND THEN WHY THIS? WHY THESE PROJECTS, DUNCANVILLE GOALS AND LONG TERM SUSTAINABILITY IS VERY GOOD. SO THE CONTEXT AND PROBLEM STATEMENTS, RIGHT? AGING INFRASTRUCTURE AND RISING UTILITY COSTS. SO DUNCANVILLE PARKS AND BUILDINGS STILL OPERATE HIGH PRESSURE SODIUM AND METAL HALIDE LIGHTS. THESE LIGHTS CONSUME FAR MORE ELECTRICITY THAN MODERN LEDS AND HAVE HIGHER MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS. RIGHT. SO WE'RE SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY TRYING TO MAINTAIN THESE LIGHTS EVERY YEAR. THEY'RE CONSTANTLY GOING OUT. WE DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO SCALE LIGHT POLES AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, THE COST OF REPLACING ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE CONSTANTLY GOING UP.

SO IN ORDER TO CONVERT OR RETROFIT ALL OF OUR LIGHTS, TRAIL LIGHTS, IT'S GOING TO BE MORE EXPENSIVE NEXT YEAR THAN IT IS THIS YEAR. AND IDEALLY, WE DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC REVENUE STREAM TO TACKLE THOSE ISSUES AND ACTIVATED LAND AND THEN PROGRAMING GAPS. SO CERTAIN PARK PARCELS AND PARK PARK AREAS SIT VACANT OR UNDERUSED. THE 2017 PARK MASTER PLAN NOTED AGING PARK INFRASTRUCTURE, REDEVELOPMENT NEEDS AND DESIRE TO ATTRACT SPORTS TOURISM INTO THE CITY, SO NEW PROGRAMING OPTIONS WOULD BE ASSESSED WITHIN THESE TWO IDEAS AND THEN STRATEGIC GOALS. SO THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CALLS FOR HIGH QUALITY NEIGHBORHOODS AND PARKS, BECOMING A YOUTH SPORTS TOURISM DESTINATION, AND BUILDING A TECH FORWARD COMMUNITY THAT SUPPORTS MULTI-MODAL ACCESS. HOW DO WE PLAN TO DO THAT? SO

[00:35:02]

THE PROVIDER GUARANTEES SAVINGS AND BEARS THE PERFORMANCE RISK. IF THE SAVINGS ARE LOWER THAN THE CITY, PAYS LESS OWNERSHIP AT THE END OF THE TERM AFTER THE CONTRACT TYPICALLY BE 10 TO 15 YEARS, THE CITY CAN PURCHASE THE EQUIPMENT FOR THE COST OF IT OR EXTEND THE SERVICE TO CONTINUE THAT SERVICE OF MOVING FORWARD. SOME OF THE PROS AND CONS OF ENERGY AS A SERVICE, RIGHT? SO ENERGY COST SAVING LEDS ARE FAR LESS ENERGY USE, FAR LESS ENERGY THAN HIGH PRESSURE SODIUM OR METAL HALIDE LAMPS. THERE WAS A STUDY DONE IN SWEET HOME, OREGON, CONVERTING 881 STREETLIGHTS THROUGH AN ENERGY AS A SERVICE CONTRACT THAT SAVED THE CITY ABOUT $558,000, OR 50 58,000KW, AND AROUND $40,000 IN THE FIRST YEAR. THAT'S JUST OFF OF THE STREET LIGHTS. LONGEVITY AND MAINTENANCE LEDS LAST UP TO ABOUT LAST UP TO 100,000 HOURS, REDUCING THE REPLACEMENTS AND MAINTENANCE COSTS. SO WE'RE REPLACING LIGHTS YEARLY. LEDS LAST 510 YEARS, IMPROVED SAFETY AND VISIBILITY, SO BRIGHTER UNIFORM LEDS LIGHT ENHANCES VISIBILITY AND REDUCES ACCIDENTS AND CRIMES, REDUCE LIGHTING, POLLUTION, AND ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS. SO LEDS CAN BE DIRECTED ANYWHERE AS NEEDED. SO REDUCING SKY POLLUTION SKYGLOW AND CUTTING DOWN GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS OFF CREDIT FINANCES AND PREDICTABLE PAYMENTS. ENERGY AS A SERVICE CONTRACTS KEEPS DEBT OFF THE CITY'S BALANCE SHEETS AND PROVIDE PREDICTABLE MONTHLY COSTS. IN THE SWEET HOME EXAMPLE, THE NET BENEFIT OVER 20 YEARS IS ESTIMATED AT $546,000. RIGHT? SCALABILITY AND INTEGRATION. SO THIS MODEL CAN BE INTEGRATED AND EXPANDED THROUGH A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT SYSTEMS. SO HVAC, SOLAR BATTERIES, SOLAR LIGHTS, EV CHARGING STATIONS, STREET LAMPS, PARKING LIGHTS, DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT. RIGHT NOW, WE JUST WERE KIND OF HONED IN ON THE STADIUM LIGHTS. SO OUR ATHLETIC FACILITIES CONVERTING ALL OF THOSE LARGE STADIUM LIGHTS AND ATHLETIC FIELD LIGHTS INTO A LEDS. RIGHT. SOME OF THE CONS OF AN AGREEMENT LIKE THIS WOULD BE LONG TERM COMMITMENT, RIGHT? SO CONTRACTS TYPICALLY SPAN 10 TO 15 YEARS AND THE EXIT CLAUSE MUST BE REVIEWED VERY CAREFULLY. SO WE'LL BE WORKING WITH OUR LEGAL PROCUREMENT TEAM TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE AN OUT. IF THIS WASN'T SOMETHING THAT WAS MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL FOR US AND DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS. SO ALTHOUGH CASH FLOW IS POSITIVE, THE CITY PAYS A SERVICE FEE FOR THE LIFE OF THE CONTRACT, RIGHT? SO IDEALLY WE'RE GOING TO BE USING LESS POWER. SO OUR MONTHLY ENERGY BILL IS GOING TO GO DOWN. BUT WE'RE GOING TO PAY A SERVICE FEE FOR THEM OWNING AND MAINTAINING ALL OF THE LIGHTS. SO WE DON'T HAVE THE THE CIP COST IN THE LONG TERM.

SO EVERY TEN YEARS WE'RE NOT REPLACING LIGHTS. THEY'RE GOING TO HANDLE THAT. WE'RE JUST GOING TO PAY THEM A MONTHLY FEE THAT IS TIED TO THE ENERGY SAVINGS AFTER THE CONVERSION CONTROL AND FLEXIBILITY. SO EQUIPMENT AND OWNERSHIP REMAINS WITH THE PROVIDER UNTIL THE END OF THE CONTRACT. AND ANY CHANGE IN THAT TECHNOLOGY OR STANDARDS MAY REQUIRE RENEGOTIATION. SO IF NEW TECHNOLOGY COMES OUT AND WE WANT TO UPGRADE OR CHANGE SOMETHING OUT, WE MIGHT NEED TO RENEGOTIATE THE CONTRACT SO THAT THE COST TO THE CITY IS NOT IMPACTED AND IS STILL A LUCRATIVE AGREEMENT FOR BOTH OF US, IF NOT PURSUED. SO DUNCANVILLE CONTINUES TO PAY FOR INEFFICIENT LIGHTING, CONSUMING MORE ELECTRICITY AND INCURRING HIGHER MAINTENANCE COSTS YEAR OVER YEAR. THE CITY MISSES OUT ON THAT OPPORTUNITY TO MODERNIZE INFRASTRUCTURE WITHOUT CAPITAL OUTLAY, AND THEN DELAYS PROGRESS TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE GOALS. THE OTHER CONCEPT THAT I WANTED TO ADDRESS THIS EVENING WAS A POSSIBLE LAND LEASE AGREEMENT.

MR. MR. YES, SIR. I WANT TO ASK YOU A QUICK QUESTION. ABSOLUTELY. SO. SO RIGHT NOW, IF THE LIGHT GOES OUT, WHO REPAIRS IT? IT WOULD BE WE DO LIGHT CHECKS MONTHLY, SO IN-HOUSE. SO WE WOULD CHECK OUR STADIUM LIGHT TO SEE WHO COULD REPLACE IT. BUT THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO CONTRACT THAT OUT TO A THIRD PARTY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE MEANS TO DRIVE ON THE FIELD AND LIABILITY TO SCALE UP THE POLE AND REPLACE IT, AND THEN REPAIR ANY ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ON THE LIGHT AS WELL. OKAY. THANK YOU. YES, SIR. THE OTHER PROJECT WAS A LAND LEASE AGREEMENT. SO THIS CONCEPT, THE CITY LEASES UNDERUTILIZED LAND TO A PRIVATE PARTNER WHO INVESTS IN DEVELOPING AND OPERATING LIKE A MINI FACILITY. I'M AN EXAMPLE OF THIS WOULD BE THROUGH N R, P A AND THE UNITED SOCCER CENTER MODELS. THEY DO A ZERO ZERO CAPITAL COST TO THE CITY. AND IN OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE UNITED CENTERS, UNITED SOCCER CENTERS OUTLINES A LONG

[00:40:03]

COMMERCIALIZATION CONCERNS SO SOME RESIDENTS MAY SEE THE PRIVATE BRANDING OR REVENUE GENERATING USE IN PUBLIC PARKS AS ENCROACHMENT, TRAFFIC AND NOISE, SO ADDITIONAL VISITORS COULD INCREASE TRAFFIC AND PARKING DEMANDS NEAR THE SITE. THE LONG TERM RISK, LONG TERM AND RISK. THE CITY MUST ENSURE THAT THE CONTRACT PROJECT PROTECTS PUBLIC INTEREST AND DEFINES MAINTENANCE AND END OF TERM CONDITIONS, AND ADDRESSES ANY UNFORESEEN EVENTS IF NOT PURSUED. SO UNDERUTILIZED LANDS REMAINS INACTIVATED, CONTINUING TO COST THE CITY AND MOWING AND MAINTENANCE, AND WITHOUT GENERATING ANY REVENUE FOR PROGRAMS NEARBY MUNICIPALITIES COULD ATTRACT THE SAME PARTNER INSTEAD, ALONG WITH THE ASSOCIATED ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL BENEFITS. AND THEN DUNCANVILLE MISSES OUT ON A CHANCE TO CLOSE GAPS IN YOUTH PROGRAMING SPORTS TOURISM, WHILE COST OF DEVELOPING NEW FACILITIES CONTINUES TO INCREASE. SO IS THIS SOMETHING LIKE THIS OR ANY ONE OF THESE THINGS? BEST FOR DUNCANVILLE. SO BASED ON WHAT WE'VE SEEN SO FAR, IT ALIGNS WITH THE CITY PLAN. SO DUNCANVILLE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CALLS FOR HIGH QUALITY PARKS, TAKE FORWARD COMMUNITY AND YOUTH SPORT TOURISM DESTINATION.

BOTH PROJECTS DIRECTLY ADVANCE THESE GOALS BY MODERNIZING INFRASTRUCTURE AND CREATING A NEW SPORTS HUB. BUDGET RELIEF AND REVENUE. SO ENERGY AS A SERVICE PROVIDES IMMEDIATE SAVINGS AND LONG TERM COST AVOIDANCE. WHILE THE LAND USE OFFERS A SIGNIFICANT REVENUE STREAM WITHOUT PUBLIC CAPITAL. TOGETHER, THEY IMPROVE THE DEPARTMENT'S COST RECOVERY RATIO, ADDRESSING LONG TERM FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY, COMMUNITY IMPACT, UPGRADED LIGHTING, IMPROVED SAFETY, REDUCES CRIMES AND ENHANCES NIGHTTIME USABILITY FOR ALL

[00:45:05]

SO OKAY, QUICKLY. SO IF WE WERE TO DECIDE ON LAND LEASE, ARE THERE PARTICULAR PARKS WE WERE CONSIDERING? I THINK WE DO HAVE SOME SOME POSSIBLE IDEAS. THE ONE THAT WAS APPROACHED TO US WAS SPECIFICALLY LAKESIDE PARK. THEY WANTED TO UTILIZE A SOFTBALL FIELD AND CONVERT IT INTO A SOCCER FACILITY. SO IT WOULD BE FIVE TURF FIELDS, AND THAT'S ARTIFICIAL TURF FIELDS WITH LIGHTS AND LIGHTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. THEY WOULD HAVE RESTROOMS, TEMPORARY RESTROOMS AND CONCESSIONS OUT THERE TO RUN THEIR OPERATIONS. IDEALLY THE KIND OF THE NUMBERS PROJECTED IF WE RENTED OUT A SOFTBALL FIELD EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR, WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO MAKE AS MUCH REVENUE OFF OF THAT PIECE OF LAND THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO DO JUST BASED OFF OF THE LEASE ALONE, NOT NECESSARILY THEIR OPERATIONS INCLUDED IN THAT REVENUE STREAM. OKAY. SO WE HAVE HAD LONG STANDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH SOCCER ASSOCIATIONS IN THE AREA, BUT THIS IMPACT THEM. IF WE WERE TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT LIKE THAT, IMPACT THEIR OPERATIONS, IMPACT THEIR ACCESS TO THE PARK. AND YOU SAID WE WOULD HAVE TO PUT THAT IN A CONTRACT AND NEGOTIATE THAT. OKAY. SO MAINTENANCE AND BREAKDOWN OF CURRENT MAINTENANCE, WHAT WOULD THIS SAVE US? SO RENOVATING LIKE A SOFTBALL FIELD, WE MOW IT TWICE A WEEK. THERE'S LIGHTS, THERE'S FENCING REPAIRS, THERE'S ANNUAL SAFETY REPAIRS THAT WE MAKE ON THE FIELDS. IF WE RENOVATED ALL OF THAT INTO TURF, ALL OF THOSE THINGS WOULD GO AWAY. IF I HAD TO THROW SOME PROJECTIONS OUT THERE, EACH FIELD PROBABLY COST US AROUND $20,000. MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL? YEAH, EASILY. YES, MA'AM. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. I REALLY JUST HAVE MORE OF A REACTION. I KNOW THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE THAT WE TALK ABOUT, AND PARTICULARLY AS WE ENTER INTO, INTO BUDGET SEASON, I WOULD ASSUME THAT IT TIES BACK INTO YOUR STRATEGY OF TRYING TO EXPLORE DIFFERENT REVENUE STREAMS, ETC. I RECOGNIZE, SO THESE ARE MORE OF THE ACTIONS, I GUESS I SHOULD SAY. I RECOGNIZE THAT FROM A PARK MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE, WE WE ALWAYS ARE LOOKING FOR SOME RELIEF AND SUPPORT AND HELP AS IT RELATES TO LIGHTS. I WOULDN'T WANT TO SIT HERE AND PRESCRIBE FOR YOU A VERY OPERATIONALLY HOW TO RUN YOUR, YOUR PARK LIGHTING PROGRAM AND SYSTEM. BUT IF IF WE'RE LOOKING TO OFFLOAD SOME OF THE COST OR BE ABLE TO RECONFIGURE COSTS, I THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO UNDERSTAND WHAT DO WE LOOK AT IN TERMS OF ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, IN TERMS OF OUR LIGHTING AND HOW MUCH EXPENSE DO WE INCUR, AND EVEN THROUGH CONTRACTORS AND HOW ALL OF THAT BEARS OUT SO WE CAN BE ABLE TO FULLY ANALYZE WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS POTENTIALLY A GOOD COST SAVINGS OR A STRATEGY TO, TO HELP DETER SOME OF THE COSTS RELATED TO LIGHT MANAGEMENT IN A PARK ENVIRONMENT. SO THAT'S KIND OF MY REACTION, I THINK, TO THE, TO, TO THE, TO THE FIRST PIECE, TO THE SECOND PIECE ABOUT THE LAND LEASE AGREEMENT. I STARTED TO HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT FACILITIES AND WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE PERMANENT OR TEMPORARY PARKING. HOW WOULD THAT WORK IF WE WERE LOOKING AT PARTICULARLY VACANT, BECAUSE I THINK THAT THE UNIVERSE WAS OPEN TO EVEN SOME UNDEVELOPED PARCELS OF LAND THAT COULD BE REDEFINED AND USED. AND SO I STARTED TO WONDER. I KNOW THE EXAMPLE YOU JUST RAISED, MR. G WAS RELATED TO LAKESIDE PARK, BUT I THINK IN YOUR PRESENTATION IT WAS ANY MAYBE PARCEL OF LAND. AND SO DID WE HAVE, I THINK, TO A COLLEAGUE, GOODMAN'S QUESTION, DO WE HAVE PARTICULAR PARCELS OR PARKS IN MIND? AND AND WHAT WOULD BE THE POTENTIALITY ON US GENERATING REVENUE THROUGH THOSE ORGANIZATIONS? AND WOULD THEY HELP WOULD THEY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR RECRUITING THEIR OWN TEAMS AND SUCH? AND YOU KNOW, WHAT'S BEEN THEIR SUCCESS RATE TO REALLY BE ABLE TO BE ABLE TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE. MR. DAVIS, WE'RE GETTING TO THE WITCHING HOUR.

GOOD EVENING, CITY OF CHAMPIONS. IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU OUT TONIGHT. I'LL START WITH THE MEMORIAL DAY CELEBRATION. THAT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY. I WAS HAPPY THAT IT RETURNED OUTSIDE IN THE MEMORIAL DAY CELEBRATION. WE HAD A GUEST SPEAKER, AND IN HIS SPEECH HE TALKED ABOUT DECORATION DAY. AND THERE WAS AN ADDITIONAL LAYER I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO DECORATION DAY SINCE IT WAS BROUGHT UP. AS OF MAY 1ST OF 1865, THE ENSLAVED PEOPLE AFTER THE CIVIL WAR WOULD GO AND DECORATE THE GRAVESITES OF THEIR LOVED ONES WITH THE FLOWERS THAT WERE THAT THEY HAD WITHIN THEIR POSSESSION DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS AND THE RESOURCES TO DO OTHER THINGS. THAT WAS HOW DECORATION DAY WAS STARTED. AND AFTER THAT, IT WAS WIDESPREAD AS OF 1868, AND IT STARTED TO SPREAD AND EVERYWHERE ELSE. AND NOW WE KNOW IT AS MEMORIAL DAY. SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY BENEFICIAL. AND IT WAS INSIGHTFUL FOR ME TO LEARN FROM MY VETERAN DAUGHTER, WHO SERVED IN THE ARMY AND IS NOW PRACTICING MENTAL HEALTH. SO THANK YOU TO MY DAUGHTER FOR EDUCATING ME ON THAT PIECE OF INFORMATION THAT I WAS UNAWARE OF. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE FIRE TRUCK PULL. THE MAYOR MENTIONED IT, AND I THINK COUNCIL MEMBER MCBURNETT MENTIONED IT AS WELL. IT WAS A NICE EVENT AND I WAS HAPPY. WHAT I LIKE MOST ABOUT THE FIRE TRUCK PULL IS IT'S A RELAXED ENVIRONMENT. YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES THERE'S THIS WALL WHERE COUNCIL SHOULDN'T

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT WITH OUR YOUTH RECREATION IN DUNCANVILLE. THANK YOU. ANGIE BENSON. HELLO. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MEETING WITH CITY MANAGER NEXT WEEK, BUT RIGHT NOW I'M NOT VERY HAPPY ABOUT THE RECREATION CENTER. I'M SORRY. YOUR ADDRESS? OH, I'M SORRY, 813 LINK DRIVE, DUNCANVILLE, 75116. THANK YOU. I HAVE A COMPLAINT AND CONCERN AGAINST THE RECREATION CENTER MANAGER. I HAD AN ENCOUNTER WITH HIM YESTERDAY AS WELL AS TODAY. YESTERDAY I HAD TO CALL HIM OUT ON A LIE THAT HE WAS SAYING A ON ME BEFORE ONE OF HIS STAFF MEMBERS. AND TODAY I WAS TALKING TO THE STAFF MEMBER AND HE CAME THERE AND WAS TALKING AS LOUD AS HE COULD, TRYING TO DROWN ME OFF, TO NOT BE HEARD BY THE STAFF MEMBER. OUR CONVERSATION. OKAY, MISS BENSON, JUST COULD YOU HOLD ON ONE SECOND? I GET CLARIFICATION FROM CITY ATTORNEY DIRECTING COMMENTS DIRECTLY IDENTIFYING A STAFF MEMBER. DO WE NEED TO REFRAIN FROM THAT? OKAY, SO YOU CAN CONTINUE WITH WITH YOUR YOUR BASIC DISSATISFACTION, BUT JUST NOT NOT DESCRIBING INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEES, ALSO ASKING THAT YOU ALL, YOU ALL DID PUT THE PLEXIGLASS ON BOTH SIDES, BUT THE MIDDLE PART OF THEIR DESK, THAT'S WHERE THE PLEXIGLASS IS NEEDED MORE BECAUSE TODAY I WAS SITTING ON THE PLEXIGLASS ON THE THE DESK. THERE IS NO RULE SAYING YOU CAN'T, YOU DON'T. IT'S NOT POSTED THAT YOU CAN'T SIT ON THE DESK. I WAS TALKING TO THEM.

NOW, IF THAT PLEXIGLASS WAS STILL UP THERE, THAT WOULD HAVE PREVENTED ME FROM SITTING UP THERE. AND IT'S NOT SAFE FOR YOUR STAFF MEMBERS. ANYBODY CAN REACH OVER THERE AND GRAB THEM.

A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, ONE OF THE LADIES, A MEMBER, REACHED OVER AND GRABBED ONE OF YOUR THE STAFF MEMBERS AND RUBBED ON HER FACE. THAT'S NOT SAFE. ANYBODY CAN JUMP OVER THERE AND DO ANYTHING. YOU CAN REACH OVER THERE AND GET ANYTHING YOU. I'VE REACHED OVER THERE AND GOT PENS, BUT THAT PLEXIGLASS NEEDS TO BE UP THERE AND YOUR. YOUR MANAGER HAS SOMETHING TO SAY TO ME ABOUT SITTING ON THAT THAT DESK. THERE IS NO POLICY SAYING YOU CAN'T SIT ON THERE. AND I'M

[01:10:06]

GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SPEAK, PLEASE. MY NAME IS CONNIE BROWN AND I LIVE AT 1510 SUNSET VILLAGE DRIVE. I'VE BEEN ALMOST 30 YEARS. AND THE PROBLEM I'VE SEEN, I FINALLY MADE IT BECAUSE I LOST MY JOB, SO I HADN'T BEEN ABLE TO MAKE IT HERE. IN THE PAST FOUR YEARS. WE'VE HAD A LOT OF ISSUES WITH TRASH. WHEN I SAY ISSUES, IT'S RIDICULOUS.

ON SUNSET VILLAGE, WHEN I FIRST GOT HERE, WE GOT A PAMPHLET TELLING US HOW EVERYTHING WORKED, THE STRUCTURE OF TRASH, HOW THE MAP OF TRASH, WHEN TRASH WENT OUT, WHEN YOU PUT OUR BULK. I DON'T THINK THE NEW RENTERS ARE GETTING ANY OF THAT INFORMATION. AND I'M NOT THE KIND TO CONFRONT ANYBODY ANYMORE BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THAT FIGHT BACK RIGHT NOW. BUT IF I HAD IT, I WOULD TELL PEOPLE, HEY, YOU CAN'T DO THIS. WE NEED TO DO THAT. ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS PUT THEIR TRASH OUT ON WEDNESDAY. TRASH PICKS UP ON FRIDAY. SO FORTUNATELY FOR ME, THE DOG THAT USED TO SHOP EVERY TRASH DAY HE MOVED, HE'S NOT THERE ANYMORE TEARING UP THINGS.

BUT IT'S STILL AN ISSUE BECAUSE I HAVE A BAD BACK AND ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS, THEY LIVE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE MAILBOX. I LITERALLY HAD TO STICK MY KEY DURING THE WEEK IN THE MAILBOX, LEANING ALL THE WAY OVER, JUST NOT TO STAND IN THE TRASH. THAT'S NOT THEY'RE DOING A NON TRASH DAY AND IT'S OUT THERE EARLY. SO A LOT OF THEM ARE PUTTING THE TRASH OUT THREE, FOUR DAYS EARLY. I DON'T EAT FAST FOOD. I DON'T SMOKE CIGARS. I DON'T EAT JUNK FOOD. I SHOULDN'T HAVE ALL OF THAT TRASH IN MY HOUSE BECAUSE WHEN I OPENED UP MY GARAGE, ALL OF THE TRASH BLEW AND I HAD TO GO GET MY LITTLE STICK BECAUSE I CAN'T BEND OVER AND PICK UP ALL OF THEIR TRASH BECAUSE IT'S BLOWING ALL UP AND DOWN THE STREET ON WINDY DAYS. AND IT'S, IT'S JUST RIDICULOUS. I MEAN, REALLY A LOT OF TRASH TOO SOON, TOO LATE OR WHATEVER. THANK YOU.

BEYOND THE ANDREA SANCHEZ. HI, HOW ARE YOU? MY NAME IS D SANCHEZ. I LIVE IN 1335 CIRCLE DRIVE. AND THE PROBLEM THIS NOW IS THAT THE HOUSE IN 1314 CIRCLE DRIVE. OKAY, I KNOW THAT THE VISION ON DUNCANVILLE IS A A CITY OF THE CHAMPIONS, RIGHT OF SAFETY. AND BRIAN AND DIVERSE COMMUNITY. BUT I'M NOT FEEL ANY LIKE SAFE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE THIS AND THIS AND THIS KIND OF HOUSE. THEY HAVE SO MANY TRASH. SO YOU CAN IT'S IN THE CORNER TO THE HOUSE AND YOU CAN SEE THE TRASH OUTSIDE. AND I LIVE IN THE HOUSE FOR MORE THAN 15 YEARS. I PAY TAXES, I FIXED MY HOUSE BECAUSE I WANT TO LOOK, YOU KNOW, THE NEIGHBORHOOD VERY NICE AND EVERYTHING. BUT I SEE I'M NOT I'M NOT HAVE ANYTHING LIKE THE CITY DO BECAUSE I HAVE KIDS. YOU KNOW, THE SMELL, THE RATS. AND WE JUST WANT TO KNOW IF YOU CAN DO SOMETHING FOR MY NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE I'M TIRED. I'M TIRED LIKE THESE PEOPLE. BECAUSE IN THIS HOUSE, IT'S NOT WATER. IT'S NOT UTILITY WATER. I COME AND I SPEAK WITH SOMEONE AND THEY SAY, I ALREADY GIVE YOU LIKE TICKETS AND THEY CAN PAY AND THEY NOT DO ANYTHING. SO NOW THE I THINK THE, THE TRUST IS NOT PICKING UP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT I NEED YOUR HELP BECAUSE IT'S NOT SAFETY FOR, FOR US. LIKE, AND I SEE THE VISION AND DUNCANVILLE AND, AND IT'S AN EDUCATION BUSINESS AND A GOOD GOVERNMENT. SO I JUST WANT TO SEE THAT BECAUSE I SEE EVERYTHING, LIKE YOU SAY, FOR FOR CHAMPIONS AND COME TO VOTE, COME TO THIS, COME TO THAT. SO WE WANTED TO HEAR ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE HAVE SOMETHING BECAUSE IT'S NOT SAFETY FOR, FOR ANYONE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND EVEN FOR US, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL. ALL

[8.D. Duncanville Arts Commission Grant Recommendations ]

[01:20:01]

THE PROJECT BUDGET IS $3,000. THE REQUESTED AMOUNT WAS $3,000. THE ARTS COMMISSION IN A 543 AGAINST VOTE RECOMMENDED $1,500. THE NEXT ONE IS THE MIDSUMMER MUSICAL FESTIVAL, WHICH IS PROPOSED FOR SATURDAY, JUNE 20TH, 2026. THE PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT HAS CONFIRMED THAT THIS SPACE HAS BEEN RESERVED. THIS WOULD BE A FREE FESTIVAL THAT WILL BE A LINEUP OF CLASSICAL, JAZZ, LATIN AND FOLK MUSIC. THIS IS BEING ORGANIZED BY CHRISTOPHER ATKINS. HE IS WITH THE DALLAS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA. I BELIEVE THE PROJECT BUDGET IS 26,500. THEY REQUESTED 3000 ON A SINGLE PROJECT SUPPORT GRANT, WHICH IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE FIRST TIME.

THIS WAS RECOMMENDED 840 AGAINST. AND AGAIN, SHOULD THIS PASS, THAT EVENT WOULD BE SATURDAY, JUNE 20TH. THE NEXT IS A MAIN STREET MURAL. THIS WAS APPLIED FOR BY DL COMMERCIAL. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A WALL OF FAME ON MAIN STREET. THE PROJECT BUDGET WAS 2000. THE REQUESTED AMOUNT WAS 20,000. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A FIRST TIME APPLICATION. THE ARTS COMMISSION RECOMMENDED SIX FOUR TO AGAINST TO FUND THIS FOR 3500. THE APPLICANT DID DECLINE THE AWARD, BUT PER POLICY THE APPLICANT IS IS PERFECTLY ELIGIBLE TO APPLY AGAIN THIS FISCAL YEAR OR CAN APPLY NEXT FISCAL YEAR. REBLOOM CREATIVE REUSE. I WILL LET HER INTRODUCE THIS. HI, MY NAME IS BRENDA AND I'M THE FOUNDER OF REBLOOM CREATIVE REUSE, AND WE ARE A NONPROFIT HERE IN DUNCANVILLE, TEXAS THAT COLLECTS UNUSED ART AND CRAFT SUPPLIES, AND WE REDISTRIBUTE THEM AT A LOW COST TO ARTISTS, TEACHERS, AND FAMILY MEMBERS IN THE COMMUNITY. SO OUR GOAL IS TO REDUCE WASTE WHILE ALSO MAKING CREATIVITY MORE ACCESSIBLE AND INCLUSIVE FOR EVERYONE. THIS PROJECT WILL ALLOW US TO HOST POP UP MARKETS AND HANDS ON WORKSHOPS WITH THE COMMUNITY, AND IT MAKES THE COMMUNITY COME TOGETHER THROUGH ART AND SUSTAINABILITY. THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT AND SUPPORTING THE ARTS. THE PROJECT BUDGET ON THIS ONE WAS $5,000. THE REQUESTED AMOUNT WAS 3500. THE ARTS COMMISSION RECOMMENDS NOT FUNDING THIS IN A ONE FOR SEVEN AGAINST VOTE. I WILL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS I CAN POSSIBLY ANSWER ABOUT THE APPLICATIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY. THANK YOU. MAYOR. THANK YOU, MR. ALEX, FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. MY QUESTION WAS THERE ANY DISCUSSION AROUND THE ARTS GRANT APPLICATION FOR DAY DRINKING WINE? BECAUSE THE PROJECTED START DATE IS MAY 9TH OF 2026. I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT CLARIFYING THAT THE CONDITION IS SHE NEEDS TO SELECT A DIFFERENT DATE. SHE WAS INFORMED LOLICIA DAY WAS INFORMED THAT THAT IS ONE OF THE. THE THINGS THAT THE ARTS COMMISSION ASKED FOR. AND SHE DID AGREE TO THAT. OKAY. AND THEN THE APPLICATION FOR REBLOOM WITH THE ONE FOR SEVEN AGAINST. THEY FELT THAT THIS IN THIS WAS NOT ABLE TO BE SUPPORTED BY HOT FUNDS. THERE WAS NOT A TOURIST OR VISITOR ELEMENT TO THIS THAT THEY COULD CLEARLY SEE. OKAY, SO AS TONIGHT, WHAT ARE YOU ASKING US TO CONSIDER TO APPROVE IT THAT THAT YOU ARE BASICALLY CONSIDERING THE RECOMMENDATIONS BY THE ARTS COMMISSION? SO IT WAS JUST THAT IS THEIR RECOMMENDATION IS TO FUND IT

[01:25:04]

THANK YOU, MR. KOONTZ. THANK YOU MAYOR. SO JUST TO BE CLEAR, SO WE WOULD BE JUST APPROVING THE RECOMMENDATIONS. YOU WOULD BE. SO THE ARTS COMMISSION IS RECOMMENDING FUNDING THESE, AND YOU ARE APPROVING THE FUNDING OF THEM. YOU ARE BASICALLY ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND THEN PASSING THE RESOLUTION WOULD ALLOW ME TO PAY THE GRANTS PER THE AMOUNTS THAT THEY'VE RECOMMENDED. OF COURSE, IF YOU WANT TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE RECOMMENDATIONS, YOU GET THE FINAL SAY ON WHAT THAT AMOUNT IS FOR EACH ONE OF THEM. OKAY, SO THE ONES THAT THEY DIDN'T RECOMMEND, WE WOULD NOT BE APPROVING YOU WOULD BE. YEAH.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. IS IT SAFE TO SAY THAT WE'RE APPROVING WHAT'S ON EXHIBIT A? YES, SIR. OKAY. WHICH DOES HAVE A ZERO FOR THE ONE. WHILE IT DOES HAVE THE MONEY IN THERE FOR THE MURAL, HE'S NOT GOING TO ACCEPT THE PAYMENT. SO. SO AT THIS POINT, WE'D BE READY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A MOTION. MR. MAYOR, I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ARTS COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION FOR THIS ROUND OF GRANT APPLICATIONS. ALL RIGHT. DO WE NEED TO MAKE A REFERENCE TO EXHIBIT A, SINCE THAT IDENTIFIES ALL FOUR? OKAY. AS CLARIFIED BY THE MAYOR, WE WOULD BE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE ARTS COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION FOR GRANT APPROVALS AS AS SPECIFIED IN EXHIBIT A OF OUR MEETING AGENDA IN ASSOCIATION WITH THIS ITEM.

MR. SECOND, YEAH, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN DAVIS. SECOND BY COUNCILMAN KOONTZ, PLEASE VOTE. THANK YOU. AND JUST TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW, THE LAST GRANT CYCLE OF THIS FISCAL YEAR IS CURRENTLY OPEN. YOU CAN FIND THAT BY LOOKING FOR ARTS AND CULTURE OR THE GRANT APPLICATION ON THE WEBSITE. OR IF YOU CAN GRAB THAT QR CODE REALLY QUICK, IT'LL TAKE YOU RIGHT THERE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, NOW MOVE ON TO ITEM EIGHT E, WHICH WAS MOVED

[7.D. Consider a Resolution approving the submittal of FY2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Project/Activity Applications for CDBG funds to Dallas County. ]

THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING. SO I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS. I JUST WANT TO HAVE A DISCUSSION BECAUSE I WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE PRIORITIZATION OF THE 98,000 FOR THE ADA SIDEWALKS. WE HAD A HEALTHY DISCUSSION IN BRIEFING REGARDING DRAINAGE. AND MY QUESTION IS HOW DID WE DETERMINE THE ADA SIDEWALKS AS THE PRIORITY? I'LL START WITH THAT. OKAY. SO GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. THIS IS SHAHEED MUHAMMAD, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS. WE HAVE RUN WE HAVE RUN A AN ANALYSIS OR A QUICK I WOULD SAY A QUICK REVIEW OF, OF POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY, GIVEN THAT WE REALLY HAVE SEEN THE MOST BENEFIT OF USING THIS FUNDS TO FUND OUR CODE OFFICERS CODE OFFICER FOR TWO YEARS TO COVER THE CDBG REGION. WE ARE, AS YOU MENTIONED, LEFT WITH A AMOUNT OF ALMOST $98,000. SO GIVEN THAT SPECIFIC AMOUNT AVAILABILITY, IT DOES LIMIT THE OPTIONS OF WHAT WE CAN DO WITH THAT SPECIFIC FUNDS. YES, THAT FUND HAS THE ABILITY TO BE LEVERAGED AS PART OR A PARTIAL PAYMENT OF A MORE MEANINGFUL, LARGER PROJECT THAT COULD ADDRESS DRAINAGE ISSUES OR, YOU KNOW, MORE OF A THE CIP NATURE NEEDS THAT WE DO HAVE AS A HIGHER PRIORITY. HOWEVER, GIVEN THE SITUATION OF US NOT HAVING A SPECIFIC ACTUAL ADOPTED FIVE

[01:30:04]

HOWEVER, WE ALSO COULDN'T CHANGE THE SCOPE OF WORK. LATER, WE HAD TO BE ABLE TO SELECT WHAT WE SUBMIT FOR IN A IN A SPECIFIC TIME FRAME WHERE WE DIDN'T HAVE, ON SOME OF THE OTHER PRIORITIES, ENOUGH INFORMATION ABOUT CERTAIN SCHEDULE TO MAKE SURE WE MEET THE REQUIREMENT. OTHERWISE, WE HAVE A RISK OF NOT SPENDING THOSE FUNDS. AND IF WE DON'T SPEND THEM ON TIME WITH THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS, WE LOSE A CHANCE TO GET THEM THE NEXT TIME, OR WE'RE WE POTENTIALLY LOSE THE CHANCE TO GET THEM THE NEXT TIME. SO WHAT WE HAD TO DO IS REALLY LOOK AT SMALLER PROJECTS THAT ARE IN OUR CONTROL TO MANAGE THE SCHEDULE FOR THAT ARE STILL A PRIORITY. SO WHEN WE LOOKED AT THOSE OPTIONS, WE REALLY HAVE LOOKED AT ANOTHER PRIORITY THAT IS ALSO THAT HAS NO FUNDING AS IT STANDS TODAY AS WELL. SO WE DO NOT HAVE ANY FUNDS ASSOCIATED WITH ADA RAMPS AND SIDEWALK REPAIRS IN OUR OPERATIONAL FUNDS AS IT STANDS TODAY. SO THAT IS A PROBLEM THAT WE GET A LOT OF REPORTS ON. SO WE HAD TO DO THE PRACTICE OF LOOKING AT OUR CITY MAP AND LAYER USING OUR GIS ANALYST HELP THE CDBG AREA. AND THEN WE LOOKED AT CONCERN AREAS WHERE WE COULD FIT SMALLER PROJECTS IN. AND WE LOOKED AT OUR REPORTS AND REPORTS OF CITIZENS, YOU KNOW, INPUT AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THE NEED FOR THOSE PROJECTS. SO WE KNEW THAT SPECIFIC TO THOSE TWO SPECIFIC SUBDIVISIONS, WHICH I BELIEVE TO BE SILVER CREEK. AND, AND I THINK WHISPERING HILL. YEAH. SO THESE TWO AREAS ARE FOUND TO BE, YOU KNOW, WITH THE RESIDENTS OF DISABILITY THAT HAVE REPORTED A NEED FOR ADA RAMPS AND ADA COMPLIANCE WHERE THEY CAN MOVE WITHIN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS, WHICH THEY CAN'T DO RIGHT NOW. SO THAT'S WHY WE SELECTED THIS PROJECT. AND TO SUBMIT FOR, AND WE PRIORITIZED IT FOR THE SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF FUNDS. OKAY. SO I HEARD THE AMOUNT OF REPORTS. IT'S WITHIN OUR CONTROL, THE TIMELINE AND BEING ABLE TO THE SCHEDULE TO GET IT DONE AND COMPLETED BASED ON THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE APPLICATION. I'LL TELL YOU WHY I ASKED BECAUSE WHICH I, I THOSE ARE JUSTIFIABLE REASONS. I ASKED BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING AT THE MAP THAT WAS PROVIDED.

AND FOR THE AREA THAT WE'RE DOING THE WORK, IT IS 51%, 51.6% OF LOW INCOME BECAUSE LOW INCOME IS ONE OF THE QUALIFICATIONS. YES. BUT WHERE WE HAVE THE DRAINAGE AREA, THE DRAINAGE ISSUE RIGHT HERE IN THIS AREA, OUTSIDE, OUTSIDE THE CITY HALL BUILDING, RIGHT HERE WHERE WE NORMALLY HAVE HISTORICALLY HAD POOLING OF WATER THAT RATED AT 81.10%. AND WITH US HAVING TO CONSIDER ANCILLARY COSTS IN PREVIOUS CONVERSATIONS, I WAS JUST BASICALLY WONDERING, WAS THIS CONSIDERED AS A POSSIBLE PROJECT THAT THESE FUNDS COULD HAVE GONE TO OR BEEN APPLIED TO? LET ME TOUCH ON SOMETHING, JUST I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT ONE, WE HAVE ABOUT A 30 DAY WINDOW TO PACKAGE THESE THESE PROPERTIES, RIGHT? SORRY. SORRY, GUYS. SO WE HAVE ABOUT A 30 DAY WINDOW TO PACKAGE THESE PROJECTS. YES, I SEE THAT AS A NEED WITH A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, BOND CONVERSATIONS AND STUFF HAPPENING. YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT IN MY OPINION WOULD BE BEST USE OF FUNDING RIGHT NOW. OKAY. AND ALSO THIS IS ABOUT MAXIMIZING THE AMOUNT OF WORK WE CAN DO WITH THE MONEY THAT'S AVAILABLE. SO THE 98,000 IS ESSENTIALLY EXHAUSTING THE REST OF THE OPPORTUNITY THERE. SO THAT'S ANOTHER REASON WHY THAT KIND OF GUIDES US INTO WHERE WE GO AND WHAT WE DO. OKAY. I ALSO KNOW THAT WE ARE APPLYING FOR THE SAFER STREETS FOR ALL GRANTS. AND ADA IS A, AN ALLOWABLE USE FOR IT AS WELL. NOW, SO A CLARIFICATION ON THAT GRANT. THAT'S A PLANNING GRANT. SO THAT'S ONLY GOING TO COVER CREATE THE CREATION OF A TRANSPORTATION AND SAFETY ACTION PLAN, WHICH CAN INCLUDE AN ADA TRANSITION PLAN. SO IT'S GOING TO BE MORE OF AN ENGINEERING BACKED DECISION OR PRIORITIZATION. YOU CAN SAY, YES, THAT'S GOING TO GIVE US MORE INFORMED DECISIONS ON WHERE TO PRIORITIZE ADA RAMPS BASICALLY. SO IT IS A PLAN

[01:35:08]

HOWEVER, THERE IS A POTENTIAL, YOU KNOW, INCREASE. IT DEPENDS ON, YOU KNOW, WHEN THIS PROJECT TAKES PLACE AND THE BIDS THAT WE DON'T KNOW. SO WE USUALLY HAVE TO COME UP WITH A DEFICIT, WHICH WE DID FOR THE LAST ROUND IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THE EXISTING ADA RAMPS PROJECTS.

AND UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S THE CONCERN WITH THE AMOUNT OF FUNDS THAT WE HAVE AND THE COST ESTIMATE THAT WE'RE RECEIVING FOR ANY TYPE OF IMPROVEMENTS OR CONSTRUCTION ARE PRETTY HIGH.

SO IN ORDER TO GAIN A MORE MEANINGFUL PROJECT WITH THAT AMOUNT, THE BEST IS TO LEVERAGE THAT AMOUNT INTO A LARGER PROJECT THAT CAN HELP SOME SAVINGS, WHICH WE CAN LOOK INTO IN THE FUTURE, WHICH WE DO PREFER, BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE REALLY ENOUGH TIME. AND THE SPECIFIC CIP FIVE YEAR PLAN AHEAD TO WORK BY, WE'RE LIKE, YEAH, WE'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO BE MEETING THAT SPECIFIC DEADLINE AND REQUIREMENT ON THAT SPECIFIC PROJECT SO WE CAN SUBMIT IT AHEAD OF TIME. AT THIS POINT, WE ARE WORKING TOWARDS THAT DIRECTION. SO HOPEFULLY IN THE NEXT SUBMISSION, WE'RE DEFINITELY ARE PLANNING TO LOOK AT THOSE OPTIONS. OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. MAYOR WANTS EVERYONE TO ASK THEIR QUESTIONS. I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU MAYOR. I'LL SECOND IT. OKAY. WE GOT A MOTION. AND SECOND.

BUT LET'S GET OKAY, GET THE NAME CHANGED HERE. COUNCILMAN DAVIS HAS A COMMENT OR QUESTION.

YES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. MY QUESTION IS, IS MORE SO DIRECTED TO TO OUR CITY MANAGER. I KNOW THAT WE'VE WE'VE HAD SOME CONVERSATION ABOUT, YOU KNOW, SOME DIFFERENT PLANS. AND I KNOW THAT WE HAVE ADA RAMP IMPROVEMENTS OR ADA PUBLIC ACCESS NEEDS AND IMPROVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES ACROSS THE CITY. AND I KNOW THAT WE PURSUE REMEDYING THOSE OR ADDRESSING THOSE BY MANY DIFFERENT MEANS. IT COULD BE A REGULAR STREET IMPROVEMENT THAT WOULD THEN INCLUDE NEW SIDEWALKS, ETC. MAYBE PERHAPS, YOU KNOW, CEDAR HILL, CEDAR RIDGE ROAD, FOR EXAMPLE. HERE'S A SHORT QUESTION. CAN WE EXPECT TO SEE IN THE NEAR FUTURE A FIVE YEAR CIP PLAN THAT WOULD HELP US STRATEGICALLY LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, WHAT OUR NEEDS AND HOW DO WE PURSUE THAT ON A LONG TERM BASIS? THAT THAT IS OUR PLAN, YOU KNOW, AND PRIOR TO JOINING THE COUNCIL, WE DID A RETREAT BACK IN DECEMBER OF 2025, AND WE REALLY KIND OF WALKED THROUGH ALL OUR NEEDS AT THAT TIME. WE DIDN'T REALLY PRIORITIZE OR RANK, BUT JUST REALLY TRYING TO GIVE COUNCIL THAT PICTURE OF WHAT THOSE LONG TERM NEEDS. I THINK THE NEXT STEP IS REALLY COME BACK RANK AND THEN GET THAT FUNDING STRATEGY. OBVIOUSLY, WE KNOW THERE'S CHALLENGES OBVIOUSLY TO TO GEO BONDS, FOR EXAMPLE, BUT THERE MAY BE OTHER REVENUE SOURCES, DRAINAGE FUND, UTILITY FUND, EVEN THE DUNCANVILLE COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND COULD COULD HELP AS A FOUR B CORPORATION TO FUND PARKS, FOR EXAMPLE. I THINK THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE WANT TO GO, BUT WE DO WANT TO GET THESE RANKED AND, AND HAVE A HAVE A STRATEGIC PLAN TO MOVE FORWARD WITH FUNDING THOSE. YEAH, I THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE PRODUCTIVE AND BENEFICIAL TO US BOTH SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM THINKING ABOUT WHAT OUR NEEDS, WHAT OUR INVESTMENT AND UNDERSTANDING, YOU KNOW, WHAT PROGRESS WE'RE MAKING TOWARDS FILLING THAT THOSE HOLES TO THE EXTENT THEY EXIST. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. GOOD. THANK YOU.

MAYOR, ONE LAST QUESTION. I SEE THAT THE APPLICATION WAS DUE ON MAY 29TH. HAVE WE ALREADY SUBMITTED THE APPLICATION? AND THIS IS MORE OF A RATIFICATION OR WE HAVE SUBMITTED THE APPLICATION DEADLINE. AND SO WE HAD NO OPTION BUT TO SUBMIT IT OR FORFEIT THE OPPORTUNITY. MR. CITY MANAGER MOVING FORWARD, IF WE COULD GET THESE ITEMS ADDED TO AN AGENDA BEFORE THE

AND SO IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK HOME AND IN THE IN, IN THE AREA. SO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE YOU. WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY AND FEEL LIKE A LOT OF WHAT MATT SAID IS TRUE, GETTING THE CHANCE TO GO TO THE MARKET. IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE DUNCANVILLE HAS BEEN OUT TO THE MARKET TO SEE WHAT WHAT MAY BE, AND SO WE THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A GOOD PROCESS. AND OUR GOAL, JUST OVERALL GOAL TO SAY TO YOU IS WE WANT TO PUT OUT A RFP THAT GETS A LOT OF ATTENTION AND GETS A LOT OF BIDDERS IN HERE SO THAT WE CAN PROVIDE THE BEST, NOT ONLY THE BEST SERVICE, BUT THE BEST AT THE BEST PRICE FOR THE COMMUNITY. SO OUR OPTIONS, AS YOU SEE ON THE SLIDE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE PROPOSING, AND AGAIN, THE GOAL IN DOING MANY OPTIONS IS TO GET LOTS OF RESPONSES. AND SOMETIMES YOU'LL FIND A RESPONSE AND EVEN TO WE'VE BEEN IN THIS BUSINESS QUITE A WHILE, AND MY PARTNERS HAVE BEEN IN IT LONGER THAN I HAVE, WHICH IS HARD TO BELIEVE BECAUSE I'M GETTING PRETTY OLD. BUT BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF THINGS, BUT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, SOMEBODY COMES ALONG WITH SOMETHING WE HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT. AND A LOT OF TIMES THE CITIES WILL LIKE THAT AND THEY'LL SAY, THAT'S THAT.

WE LIKE THAT NEW, NEW IDEA. SO AGAIN, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME BROAD CARE OPTIONS FOR PEOPLE TO LOOK AT. SO THE FIRST ONE IS BASICALLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING NOW. IT'S A REPEAT OF WHAT EXACTLY THE SERVICE THAT YOU HAVE. SO WHEN YOU SEE THESE OTHER SUGGESTIONS OR OTHER SERVICES, YOU CAN COMPARE PRICE AND SERVICE TO WHAT YOU'RE DOING NOW. AND IT SAYS HERE WITH THE 18 GALLON CARTS FOR THE RECYCLING. NOW THEY'RE NOT CARTS. THEY'RE ACTUALLY AN 18 GALLON TUB AS WE KNOW. BUT, YOU KNOW, NOBODY REALLY IS USING THAT SERVICE MUCH ANYMORE, EVEN IF THEY'RE STILL USING BAGS AND REAR LOADERS, MOST OF THEM, MOST COMPANIES, I DON'T KNOW OF A COMPANY RIGHT NOW THAT'S PICKING UP AN 18 GALLON TUB ANYMORE. NOW, I'M NOT SAYING THAT THEY WON'T, BUT I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE THAT WE GO TO THE 96 GALLON CARTS WE'RE THINKING ABOUT ON THAT. AND I THINK YOU'LL SEE MOST OF THE MOST OF THE BIDDERS BID THAT.

BUT THAT'S JUST A NOTE GOING BY. EXCUSE ME. NOW, OPTION TWO IS FOR TWICE A WEEK COLLECTION WITH A NEW 96 GALLON CART AND ONCE A WEEK WITH A 96 GALLON CART FOR RECYCLING. THE SECOND OPTION THREE, WOULD BE ONCE A WEEK WITH THE SAME THING, SAME TYPE SERVICE, AND ALL THESE, AS MATT OUTLINED A MINUTE AGO, WILL HAVE BRUSH AND BULKY. WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A MINUTE. BUT. AND THEN OPTION FOUR WOULD BE BE ONCE A WEEK WITH A 96 GALLON CART. AND WITH ALL CORRECTIONS BEING MADE CURBSIDE AND NOT NOT IN ALLEY COLLECTION. AND THEN ONCE A WEEK RECYCLING THE 96 GALLON CART, I GUESS I GOTTA TURN IT, DON'T I? YEAH. LET'S SEE IF I PUSH THE RIGHT BUTTON HERE. HEY. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. SO BRUSH AND BULK, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THREE OPTIONS ON BRUSH AND BULK, WHICH IS THE TEN. LIKE YOU'RE DOING IT NOW, THE TEN CUBIC YARDS, FIVE CUBIC YARDS OF BRUSH AND BULK COLLECTED EVERY WEEK. AND THEN TEN CUBIC YARDS COLLECTED ONCE A MONTH. SO AGAIN, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THOSE AND YOU CAN MIX AND MATCH. YOU CAN SAY, WE LIKE THAT THING OUT OF THIS ONE, THAT ONE. GENERALLY SPEAKING, WE CAN NEGOTIATE WITH THE WITH THE HAULERS. WHEN WE GET TO THAT POINT TO SAY, YOU KNOW, THE COUNT, WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF WE CHANGE THIS OR CHANGE THAT OR THAT SORT OF THING? SO OPTIONAL HOUSEHOLD, THESE ARE SOME OPTIONS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ALSO ASKING THE PROVIDERS TO BID FOR US. ONE IS A HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE PROGRAM. YOU KNOW, BACK IN THE DAY, I REMEMBER WE WE DID COUNTY HERE IN DALLAS COUNTY, THE COUNTY WOULD PUT OUT A BIG HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM. AND, AND WE WOULD ALL PARTICIPATE AND HAVE TO PAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR THAT. WELL, NOW IT'S ODDLY ENOUGH, IT'S BECOME VERY REASONABLY PRICED TO HAVE IT DONE AT YOUR HOUSE. AND YOU CAN CALL IN AND THEY'LL COME AND PICK UP AT AT YOUR DOOR SERVICE. ALL CART OPTIONS WILL BE, EXCUSE ME IF YOU IF YOU TAKE THE ALL CART OPTION, WE WILL, WE WILL BE USING A PINK TAG. SO IF YOU DECIDE THAT YOU WANT TO HAVE A. USE THE BAG.

IN OTHER WORDS, YOU DON'T. YOU HAVE TOO MUCH TO PUT IN THE CART. YOU CAN GET A PINK TAG FROM THE CITY. PUT THAT ON THERE. THE CART. THE DRIVER WILL GET OUT. HE'LL DUMP THE

[01:50:02]

YOU'RE VERY KIND. THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE THAT. AND THEN THERE WILL BE AN UNUSUAL ACCUMULATION WHERE YOU CAN CALL THE HAULING COMPANY AND SAY, YOU KNOW, WE GOT A BIG OLD PILE OF BRUSH THAT WE HAD TO CUT DOWN A BIG TREE OR SOMETHING. AND IT'S NOT ENOUGH FOR US TO PUT ON, YOU KNOW, ON A REGULAR ACCUMULATION. SO YOU CAN NEGOTIATE AND THAT FEE WILL BE IN THE BID. SO IT'LL BE A PRICE, A SET PRICE, YOU KNOW, SO MUCH A YARD OR A HOUSE OR I MEAN AN HOUR OR WHATEVER. SO YOU CAN CALL THE COMPANY. THEY'LL COME OUT, LOOK AT YOUR PILE AND SAY, YOU KNOW, $75, $100 OR WHATEVER, BUT THERE'LL BE A PRICE SET FOR THAT AS WELL. ALL RIGHT.

GENERAL PROVISIONS, IF ALL CARTS AND ALL DUMPSTERS AND CONTAINERS AND EVERYTHING WILL BE NEW, EVEN IF THE EXISTING CONTRACTOR BIDS AND WINS THIS CONTRACT, THEY WILL BRING IN ALL NEW EQUIPMENT BECAUSE WE WANT TO WE WANT AN APPLES TO APPLES COMPARISON, RIGHT? WE DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO HAVE AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE OVER SOMEBODY ELSE. AND SO ALL THAT, ALL THAT WILL BE NEW, THE NEW THE TRUCKS AND MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT WILL HAVE TO BE NO MORE THAN FOUR YEARS OLD. WE DON'T WANT A BUNCH OF STUFF BREAKING DOWN OUT THERE AND SERVICE FALLING DOWN BECAUSE BECAUSE WE GOT A BUNCH OF EQUIPMENT THAT'S TOO OLD TO, TO TAKE CARE OF THAT.

AND I'VE, I'VE HAD THAT SITUATION BEFORE AND IT'S REALLY NOT A FUN SITUATION. SO WE, WE MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE GOOD NEW EQUIPMENT. AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS, YOU KNOW, MATT TALKED ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE GOT WE GIVEN THE NEW CONTRACTOR PLENTY OF TIME. WELL, A LOT OF TIMES THEY'LL BE BUYING NEW EQUIPMENT. IT TAKES A LITTLE WHILE TO GET THAT EQUIPMENT IN. AND SO THAT'S APPRECIATE THE CITY STARTING OUT EARLY AND GIVING OUR CONTRACTORS PLENTY OF TIME TO BE PREPARED AND BE READY TO GO. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. ONE THING THAT WE STARTED DOING WHEN WE GOT IN THIS BUSINESS, WE HAD BEEN ON, ON THE ON THE GARBAGE, THE PRIVATE SECTOR SIDE. BUT I'D BEEN AS A FORMER MAYOR AND, YOU KNOW, WE UNDERSTOOD THAT KIND OF THE BALANCE BETWEEN WHAT THE CONTRACTORS LOOKING FOR, WHAT THE CITY IS LOOKING FOR AND THE GOVERNMENT. SO WE FELT LIKE IT WAS RIGHT TO HAVE SOME REAL LIQUIDATION DAMAGES THAT PROTECTED THE CITY. SO THEY DIDN'T HAVE THEY HAD SOMETHING THEY COULD GO TO THE HAULER AND SAY, WAIT A MINUTE, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT DOING WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING, AND WE'RE GOING TO HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE HERE. AND HOPEFULLY THAT WILL BRING USUALLY, GENERALLY SPEAKING, IT BRINGS PEACE OUT OF CONFUSION. BUT IF NOT, THEN YOU'VE GOT A LEGAL WAY TO BE ABLE TO, TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR CONTRACTOR IS PROVIDING WHAT THEY AGREED TO PROVIDE GPS TRACKING. ALL THE HAULERS NOW HAVE GPS TRACKING CAMERAS ON THEIR TRUCKS, AND THEY'LL BE PROVIDING TO YOU. PART OF THE CONTRACT IS THEY'LL BE PROVIDING TO THE STAFF ON A DAILY BASIS, A REPORT OF WHAT THEY DID. IF SOMEBODY CALLS IN AND SAID, YOU KNOW, THE TRUCK DIDN'T COME BY AND GET MY GET MY TRASH OR WHATEVER. WELL, THERE'S A CAMERA ON THE TRUCK THAT WE CAN SEE WHERE THE TRUCK WENT BY THERE, WHERE THEY STOP, WHERE SOMETIMES PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, PUT THE TRASH OUT AFTER THE TRUCKS GONE BY. I KNOW IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE, BUT BUT IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES. AND SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GET THOSE REPORTS AND TRACK THAT WHEN THEY'RE RINGING YOUR PHONE AND SAYING, I WASN'T TREATED FAIRLY. SO. AND THOSE REPORTS WILL BE BE USED EVERY DAY. SO THERE'LL BE A 5% ANNUAL RATE CAP INCREASE. YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TIMES THEY THERE'S BEEN DIFFERENT CONTRACTS CALL FOR DIFFERENT THINGS. BUT WE PUT IN OUR CONTRACT A 5% CAP OVERALL. SO YOU KNOW THAT YOUR CONTRACT WILL NEVER INCREASE NO MATTER WHAT THE CPI INCREASES ARE. YOU CAN BUDGET IN YOUR BUDGET TO KNOW THAT IT WON'T BE MORE THAN 5%. GENERALLY SPEAKING, IT'S QUITE A BIT LESS THAN THAT. AND THE INDEX THAT WE USE IS THE TRASH INDEX. AND IT STAYS PRETTY, PRETTY REASONABLE UNLESS WE GET INTO A SITUATION LIKE WE'RE KIND OF IN RIGHT NOW WHERE YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF YOUR FUEL COSTS ARE ARE ELEVATED. WE HOPE THAT'S A SHORT TERM SITUATION, BUT SOMETIMES IT'S LONGER TERM THAN WE WANT. SO YOUR COMMERCIAL ROLL OFF RATES, AGAIN, AS MATT INDICATED, IT'S GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, ALL DIFFERENT SIZE CANS FOR YOUR COMMERCIAL COLLECTIONS. AND SO MANY TIMES A WEEK OR SO MANY TIMES, TIMES THE MONEY. SO COMMERCIAL CAN IS GOING TO HAVE A RATE OF, YOU KNOW, SO MUCH EVERY TIME THEY, THEY HAUL IT AND THAT'LL BE PART OF THE CONTRACT AS WELL. AND THEN ALSO WE INCLUDE FREE SERVICES FOR THE CITY FOR YOUR CLEANUP DAYS. AND, AND HERE AT THE, YOU KNOW, WHEREVER YOU PUT YOUR MAYBE AT THE SERVICE CENTER OR DIFFERENT PLACES, BE A ROLL OFF THERE FOR THE CITY'S USE. AND THAT'LL BE PROVIDED AT NO COST. AND THEN AGAIN, NEW NEW CONTAINERS WILL BE REQUIRED EVERYWHERE. I GUESS THAT'S IT. OR I PUSH AROUND. OH, THERE IT IS. I PUSHED THE WRONG BUTTON. ALRIGHT, SO ON THE RFP ON THE JUDGING SIDE, YOU CAN SEE THIS IS THE MATRIX THAT WE

[01:55:01]

BUT 15% IS. ONE THING I LIKE TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO IS THE DETAILED NARRATIVE. IN OTHER WORDS, WE REALLY WANT THEM TO TELL US HOW THEY'RE GOING TO SERVE THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE AND HOW WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO ABOUT THE SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY. AND SO THIS PROCESS, WE BELIEVE WILL, WILL FERRET OUT AND BRINGS OUT THE BEST PROPOSAL AND THE BEST PRICE FOR THE COMMUNITY. SO WITH THAT, CAN I ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU? OR. I HAVE JUST A COUPLE.

WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS AS A COUNCIL LAST YEAR AND POSSIBLY THE FIRST PART OF THIS YEAR. I SEE THE 96 GALLON. BUT WE WERE SEEING OPTIONS WITH SOME COMPANIES TO DO A SMALLER SIZE. YES, SIR. FOR MAYBE OLDER FOLKS, THAT OF WHICH I'M ONE, THAT THAT DON'T GENERATE AS MUCH TRASH. SO IS THAT GOING TO BE FACTORED INTO THIS? BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THAT ANYWHERE IN HERE. YEAH. THEY HAVE A 64 GALLON CART THAT'S A LITTLE SMALLER. MATTER OF FACT, IF YOU GO TO THE TO THE GROCERY STORE, TO THE HARDWARE STORE, YOU'LL SEE THOSE BINS THAT THEY SELL AT THE HARDWARE STORE. MOST OF THOSE ARE 64 GALLONS. THE 96 ARE A LITTLE BIT, YOU KNOW, QUITE A BIT. SO YOU'D THINK THOSE WOULD BE SOME OF THESE PEOPLE THAT WERE. WE'LL WELCOME YOUR FEEDBACK. SO THANK YOU. YEAH. SO SO PART OF THIS PRESENTATION TONIGHT IS IF YOU HAVE STRONG FEEDBACK THAT YOU WANT TO SEE IN THIS BASED MAYBE ON YOUR EXPERIENCES, YOUR CONSTITUENTS, ANYTHING LIKE THAT, NOW IS THE TIME TO START WORKING THAT INTO THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. SO STRONG FEEDBACK. CAN I USE MY GAVEL? OKAY. THE OTHER QUESTION IS.

THERE'S ANOTHER PART OF THIS THAT WE STILL HAVE TO DISCUSS, AND I'M NOT SURE THAT IT FITS IN THIS DISCUSSION RIGHT HERE. THIS MAY BE MORE INTERNAL. AND THAT'S JUST ABOUT COMPANIES ABILITY TO MANAGE OUR PROPERTIES. AND YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH DUNCANVILLE. WE'VE GOT A LOT OF HILLS AND WE'VE HAD A LONG CONVERSATIONS ABOUT PEOPLE, ELDERLY PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, BEING ABLE TO GET THESE CARTS UP AND DOWN THEIR DRIVEWAYS. I KNOW CEDAR HILL HAD TO HAVE EXPERIENCED THAT. SO THE QUESTION IS, IS WITHIN THIS PROCESS, ARE WE ASKING THE QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE ON THOSE CHALLENGES? YES. SO WE WILL BE WE WE WILL WE STILL EXPECT WE I DON'T KNOW WHY I CAN'T TALK RIGHT NOW. WE WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE THE DISABLED AND THE ELDERLY, JUST AS WE'RE DOING TODAY AT NO ADDITIONAL COST.

THERE WILL BE AN OPTION. SO IF THERE'S PEOPLE WHO ARE ABLE AND THEY. AND THEY JUST CHOOSE NOT TO ROLL CARTS, BUT WE KNOW THEY'RE UNABLE AND THEY'RE NOT IDENTIFIED AS DISABLED, THEN WE WILL PROVIDE A SERVICE TO THEM AT POTENTIALLY A DIFFERENT COST. THANK YOU, MR. KOONTZ. SO FIRST OF ALL, KIND OF GOING ALONG WITH WHAT THE MAYOR JUST ASKED. SO AS FAR AS THE FREQUENCY AND BECAUSE I KNOW WE HAVE THE DIFFERENT OPTIONS THAT ARE THERE, AND I GUESS WHEN THE RFP GOES OUT AND ANY PROVIDER LOOKS AT THOSE OPTIONS AND THEY CAN RESPOND ACCORDING TO THAT. BUT, YOU KNOW, WE HAD WE HAD THE SURVEYS THAT WERE DONE AND ALL THE TOWN HALLS AND YOU WERE HERE, DID DID ANY OF THAT PRODUCE ANY DATA THAT DEMONSTRATES A PARTICULAR NEED FOR THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE WHEN IT COMES TO FREQUENCY AND THE SIZE OF CARTS THAT MIGHT BE NEEDED? SO WE DID A, WE DID DO A PILOT PROGRAM UP IN THE RED BIRD AREA. I BELIEVE THOSE ARE ALL 96 GALLON CARTS. AND I DON'T WANT TO MISSPEAK, BUT I WANT TO SAY IT WAS ROUGHLY 7030

[02:00:02]

THAT'S PRETTY REASONABLE. BUT SOMEBODY ELSE MIGHT THINK THAT THE STRENGTH OF PERSONNEL MIGHT DESERVE A HIGHER PERCENTAGE. SO. RIGHT. YEAH. IF THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN GO A LITTLE BIT DEEPER ON, THAT MIGHT BE BENEFICIAL. AND THEN JUST ONE MORE QUESTION. TYPICALLY IN THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS, WE DON'T WE JUST SEE THE FINAL SELECTION. SO WILL WE BE ABLE TO SEE ALL OF THE THOSE WHO SUBMIT RFPS OR WILL WE JUST SEE THE, THE ONE STAFF RECOMMENDATION? WE'LL DEFINITELY BRING YOU A RECOMMENDATION, BUT WE CAN DEFINITELY SHOW YOU ALL THE OTHER PROPOSALS AND HOW THEY HOW THEY PANNED OUT AND SCORING AND WHAT THEY SUBMITTED. SO WE CAN DO THAT. SIMILARLY, WE DO LIKE WITH CONSTRUCTION BIDS, WE ALWAYS SHOW THE OTHER THE OTHER ONES THAT CAME IN TOO. SO WE WE CAN DEFINITELY DO THAT. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND AGAIN, THAT'S ANOTHER QUESTION THAT THAT HAS AND WILL COME UP IS, WELL, WHO ELSE DID Y'ALL LOOK AT? RIGHT.

SO THANK YOU. YEAH. AND ALSO IN THAT, SINCE WE'RE AT THAT PLACE, IS THAT WHERE THE DISCUSSION WOULD OCCUR TO ESTABLISH THE RECOMMENDATION, THE RECOMMENDED PROVIDER WHERE WE WOULD DISCUSS THINGS LIKE CHALLENGING SITUATIONS FOR SENIORS, PEOPLE WITH WALKING DISABILITIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT? IS THAT WHEN THAT WOULD OCCUR? YES, SIR. YES, SIR. OKAY. MR. DAVIS, I'M SORRY.

THANK YOU. I I'M GLAD THAT WE'RE ON THIS SLIDE BECAUSE I WANT TO LEAN INTO THIS MATRIX FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. WHEN WE LOOK AT THE 35% OF THE COMPETITIVE COST. AND AGAIN, I DON'T AT ALL WANT TO BE IN THE SCORING ON THE SCORING TEAM. OR DO YOU KNOW, DO ANY OF THOSE THINGS TO GO THROUGH THOSE SUBMISSIONS? BUT GIVEN THAT 35% OF THE COMPETITIVE COST OF THE WEIGHT IS FOR COMPETITIVE COST OF THE PROPOSAL, COULD YOU EXPLAIN OR ILLUMINATE FOR ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW YOU STRATIFIED FOR THE LACK OF A DIFFERENT WORD, HOW DO YOU STRATIFY YOUR DIFFERENT OPTIONS IN EVALUATING ITS COMPETITIVENESS OF COST? BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT JUST SEEMS AS AN ALL UP NUMBER. BUT TO ME, IT SEEMS THAT IF WE'RE

[02:05:06]

CORRECT. I JUST AGAIN, FROM EXPERIENTIALLY SPEAKING, IT CAN KIND OF GET HARD THAT WHEN I'M EVALUATING A PROPOSAL AND IT COMES IN FOR $25 AND IT CONTAINS EVERYTHING FROM OPTION ONE TO OPTION FOUR, BUT THE $24 IS REALLY BASED ON OPTION FOUR AND NOT OPTION ONE. THAT'S ONE THING VERSUS ANOTHER COMPANY THAT COMES IN AND SAYS THAT THEY CAN DO IT FOR $45, AND THAT'S PRIMARILY BASED ON OPTION ONE. SO I THINK IT CAN SKEW. SO I THINK THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS FOR THAT. LET ME MOVE ON TO SAY I THINK WE NEED TO ADDRESS FOR THAT IN, IN, IN HOW WE EVALUATE AND RANK THAT BECAUSE IT WILL LEAD INTO THE FINAL EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION THAT WE WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE TO CONSIDER HERE. IS THERE ANY CONTEMPLATION? NEXT QUESTION. IS THERE ANY CONTEMPLATION ABOUT IF WE GO IN THE DIRECTION OTHER THAN OPTION ONE, WHICH WOULD BE TWO, 3 OR 4, WHICH WOULD BE DIFFERENT AND CONTAIN A CART OF 96 OR SOME OTHER SIZE? IS THERE ANY CONTEMPLATION OF WHERE WE WOULD NEED TO GO FROM CURB TO ALLEY, OR FROM ALLEY TO CURB IN, IN, IN ONE OF THOSE SCENARIOS? SO LET ME SAY IT DIFFERENTLY. SOME PEOPLE TRASH IS COLLECTED FROM THE FROM THE CURB. DO WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF THAT GOING TO THE REAR YARD OR EVEN IN THE REVERSE? THE REAR YARD COMING TO THE FRONT? YEAH, IT DEPENDS ON THE THE I MEAN, WHEN YOU PICK THEM UP IN THE ALLEY, GENERALLY SPEAKING, WITH AN AUTOMATED, WE CALL AUTOMATED SERVICE DEPENDING ON THE ALLEY. RIGHT. BUT SOME OF THEM, SOME OLDER ALLEYS ARE REALLY, REALLY TIGHT. AND YOU KNOW, THAT THAT'S A DIFFICULT SITUATION. BUT A LOT OF TIMES, YOU KNOW, AND WE'LL WORK WITH THE PROVIDER ON THAT. BUT THE, THE IF, IF THERE'S CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS THAT YOU WANT TO USE ALLEY, IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER THE PROVIDER, AS LONG AS THEY CAN GET THE TRUCK UP AND DOWN, DOWN THE ALLEY. SO I, IN MOST PLACES, IT'S GOING TO BE AT THE CURB. IN MOST PLACES, IT'S GOING TO BE AT THE CURB.

SO I THINK, YEAH, GO AHEAD. WELL, I THINK SO. SO YES, I THINK AND AND MATT AND RICHARD JUMP IN. SO YEAH, THE REALITY IS YES, THERE'S SOME ALLEYS WHERE EVEN IF YOU DO CARTS, YOU'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE A REAR LOADER GO DOWN THERE WITH PEOPLE ON THE BACK, YOU KNOW, AND OBVIOUSLY THE SAVINGS REALLY, TRULY IS IN THE THE ARM BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT PEOPLE IN THE BACK OF A TRUCK. SO YES, THAT FOURTH OPTION AND LIKE I SAID, WOULD BE WHERE IF YOU REALLY WANT TO GET THE, THE BEST PRICE FOR A CAR, YOU KNOW, YOU WOULD, YOU WOULD ESSENTIALLY HAVE EVERYBODY MOVE THEIR CARTS TO THE FRONT AND NOT BE IN THE ALLEY. IT'S A BIG CHALLENGE, BUT IT'S STILL SOMETHING I THINK WE SHOULD EXPLORE JUST TO SEE WHAT THAT COST LOOK LIKE. DOESN'T MEAN YOU GOT TO GO WITH IT, BUT I, I HOPE MAYBE THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION THAT THERE WOULD BE, IF YOU TRULY GET THAT MAXIMIZED SAVINGS, YOU WOULD HAVE TO. I JUST THINK THAT IT WOULD. YEAH. AND I THINK WE KNOW THE SAVINGS IS AT THE CURB, BUT I THINK THAT WE NEED TO HAVE THAT ON OUR RADAR BOARD BECAUSE IT'S A PART OF THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE AND SOMETHING THAT WE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CONTEND WITH, WITH, WITH EVERY DIRECTION IT GOES. BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE MAY HAVE TO RELOCATE FROM WHAT THEY'RE TRADITIONALLY USED TO IN THE ALLEY TO THE FRONT. AND, AND, AND I'LL JUST SAY FOR FREE, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S DIFFERENT TAKING A BAG OUT TO THE FRONT THAN A CART OUT TO THE FRONT, TO THE CURB, TO THE CURB OF YOUR HOME. SO I'M JUST GOING TO PUT THAT OUT THERE BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE VERY, VERY IMPORTANT WHEN WE, WHEN WE, WHEN WE, WHEN WE HAVE TO KICK THAT CAN DOWN THE ROAD, NO PUN INTENDED. YOU MENTIONED MR. CITY MANAGER. LAST QUESTION, MAYOR, YOU MENTIONED, MR. CITY MANAGER ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE COLLECTION AND THE

[02:10:01]

AND WELL, AND THAT THAT JUST TO GIVE YOU THE HISTORY, YOU KNOW, WE BRIEFED COUNCIL LAST SEPTEMBER AND REALLY RECOMMENDED GOING OUT TO BID. WE STARTED LOOKING, YOU KNOW, AT CONSULTANTS RIGHT AFTER THAT. AND ALL THE CONSULTANTS ALL SAID THE SAME THING. WELL, IF YOU'RE GOING TO TRY TO CONSOLIDATE SERVICES, YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER EXTENDING YOUR CONTRACT WITH YOUR EXISTING PROVIDER. SO BOTH COME DUE AT THE SAME TIME. OKAY, SO WE WENT BACK IN NOVEMBER AND RECOMMENDED THAT. YEAH, THAT MAKES SENSE. THAT'S JUST AS CONFIRMING. THANK YOU. THOSE ARE MY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM. THANK YOU. OKAY. AND TO, TO A QUESTION THAT YOU RAISED, THERE WERE SEVERAL PEOPLE, I BELIEVE IT WAS AT A TOWN HALL MEETING THAT WHEN THE THOUGHT OCCURRED TO THEM THAT THEY MAY HAVE TO WERE THEY NOW PUT THEIR TRASH IN THE ALLEY, BUT THEY MAY HAVE TO DRAG IT AROUND ACROSS THE YARD, OVER THE CURB AND ON THE STREET. THEY WERE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE OF THE GRASS COULD BE WET. IT'S HARD TO TRAVERSE THOSE CARTS. IF THEY'RE FULL, THEY MAY SINK INTO THE GROUND. SO THERE WERE A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT THAT DIDN'T REALLY GET ANSWERED THAT NIGHT. BUT I WILL TELL YOU, THAT QUESTION WAS BROUGHT UP BY A FEW CITIZENS THAT SAW THEMSELVES BEING IN MAYBE IN THAT SITUATION, AND THEY DIDN'T LIKE THE IDEA THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO TRAVERSE ACROSS THEIR YARD TO GET OUT THERE. SO I'M JUST PUTTING IT OUT THERE THAT THAT THAT WAS FEEDBACK WE GOT.

ABSOLUTELY. AND I, AND I DON'T WANT TO MAKE THE COUNCIL THINK THAT WE ARE HEADSTRONG ON THAT.

WE ARE SIMPLY LOOKING AT THE NUMBER OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. BUT I PERSONALLY UNDERSTAND THE SENSITIVITY OF THAT. I'M NOT REALLY READY TO STAND THERE AND SAY IT WAS, WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS, BUT I THINK IT'S DEFINITELY WORTH LOOKING AT THAT NUMBER FOR SURE. AND, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THE RESIDENTS WILL SEE THE COST SAVINGS AND MAYBE MOVING THE CART WON'T BE SUCH AN ISSUE WHEN THEY SEE THE SAVINGS. WE'LL SEE. COUNCILMAN BURNETTE, THANK YOU MAYOR.

THANK YOU GUYS FOR THE PRESENTATION AND STUFF. AND AND I MEAN, THIS IS SIMPLY ABOUT GETTING THE OPTIONS AND AND SEEING WHAT'S GOING TO BE BEST FOR CITIZENS. I THINK, MR. DAVIS, YOU HAVEN'T BEEN HERE, BUT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT OF THIS, BUT BUT WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE A TOWN HALL, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO PROBABLY SIT DOWN AND FIGURE OUT WHICH OPTIONS YOU WANT. IS IT GOING TO BE ONCE, TWICE BAGS, CARTS. AND THERE'S THE THE MENU.

SO THAT'S THAT'S JUST MY COMMENT. THANK YOU, MR. KUNTZ. JUST IN RESPONSE TO SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT WERE MADE. SO I NOTICED. SO THE TOP CRITERIA THERE EXPERIENCE PROVIDING LIKE SERVICES TO LIKE CITIES. SO EVERYBODY WHO'S SUBMITTING A PROPOSAL ON THIS, YOU KNOW, THEY'VE GOT TO TELL US, YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH EXPERIENCE THEY HAVE IN WORKING WITH CITIES LIKE DUNCANVILLE WITH, WITH HILLS AND WITH ELDERLY PEOPLE AND EVERYTHING ELSE. SO THAT THAT IS PART OF THE SCORING CRITERIA. AND I JUST HAD ONE OTHER QUESTION. SO THE 5% RATE INCREASE CAP IS THAT FAIRLY STANDARD TO PUT THAT IN THERE? NOT THE CAP. IT ISN'T. IT'S BEEN IT'S MOST OF THE TIME IN THE PAST IT'S BEEN PRETTY UNLIMITED. IN OTHER WORDS, IT MOVES AROUND A LOT. SO WE FELT LIKE IN THAT, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANTED TO TRY TO DO WHEN WE GOT IN THE BUSINESS WAS TO SAY, THAT'S NOT FAIR TO THE CITY TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, AND THE INDEX YOU USE MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE. SO WE WANTED TO USE A CONSERVATIVE INDEX THAT'S TARGETED TOWARDS TRASH. AND WE WANTED TO SAY, YOU KNOW, THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A CAP ON IT FOR BUDGETING AND THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T NEED TO GET HIT WITH A 9% INCREASE IF THE IF THE ECONOMY GOES BAD, RIGHT? SO WITH THOSE WHO MIGHT BE SUBMITTING PROPOSALS THAT THAT WOULDN'T BE THE ANY KIND OF DISCOURAGEMENT TO. NO, SIR. WE'VE HAD SOME PEOPLE THAT, YOU KNOW, KIND OF PUSH BACK ON THAT, BUT WE'VE BEEN DOING IT LONG ENOUGH NOW THAT I THINK MOST OF THE HAULERS KNOW WHAT WE EXPECT. AND BY THE WAY, I DIDN'T SAY THIS, BUT WE WE PUT IN OUR RFP, THE FULL CONTRACT, AND WE, WE THIS IS A CONTRACT YOU'RE GOING TO SIGN IF YOU GET THIS JOB.

AND IF YOU GOT ANY PROBLEMS WITH THAT, YOU NEED TO TELL US NOW. AND AGAIN, THAT'S GOING TO BE SCORED IN THE SCORE. IT'S GOING TO SHOW UP IN THE SCORING PROCESS. SO IF THEY SAY WE DON'T LIKE THAT 5% DEAL, WELL THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO GET MARKED OFF IN THE SCORING FOR THAT. BUT AGAIN, ULTIMATELY, I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS TO YOU. OUR GOAL IS TO TAILOR THIS SERVICE TO YOUR COMMUNITY THE WAY YOU, THE REPRESENTATIVES, THIS COMMUNITY, WANT TO SEE IT

[02:15:02]

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR. OKAY. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. NO ACTION TO BE TAKEN. OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. HELLO, MAYOR AND COUNCIL HANNAH OLSEN, LIBRARY DIRECTOR. AND I'M HERE

[9.B. Library Semi Annual Report ]

A BRIEF SPACE REDESIGN UPDATE SOME SHELVING IN THE BACK OF THE LIBRARY HAS BEEN EMPTIED AND IS READY FOR REMOVAL. WORKING WITH SUE, THE VICE PRESIDENT OF LIBRARY OPERATIONS, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED AN OPPORTUNITY TO RELOCATE THE TEEN COLLECTION TO ANOTHER AREA IN ORDER TO CREATE A WELCOMING SPACE DESIGNED FOR THEM TO MEET THE GOAL OF DEEPER ENGAGEMENT WITH THIS DEMOGRAPHIC. A COUPLE OF RECENT WINS HIGHLIGHTS. ON APRIL 30TH, WE REACHED OUR MAXIMUM CAPACITY FOR PRESCHOOL STORYTIME, WHICH IS 45, SO THAT WAS VERY EXCITING. IN MAY, WE INTERACTED WITH OVER 599 PEOPLE AT OUTREACH EVENTS, INCLUDING BLOOM FEST, SO THAT WAS SOME VERY SUCCESSFUL OUTREACH. I THINK THERE WERE FIVE OUTREACHES THAT STAFF ATTENDED, AND SUMMER READING CLUB IS COMING UP. IT WILL BE JUNE 6TH TO JULY 31ST. IT INCLUDES DAILY PROGRAMS, READING CHALLENGES WITH PRIZES FOR ALL AGES, INCLUDING ADULTS. THE GRAND PRIZES ARE PROVIDED BY THE FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY. THE THEME OF THE SUMMER READING CLUB THIS YEAR IS UNEARTH A STORY A.K.A. DINOSAURS. SO IT'S GOING TO BE. IT'S GOING TO BE VERY, VERY FUN. I'M VERY EXCITED, AS WE ALL ARE. OUR KICKOFF IS THIS SATURDAY, JUNE 6TH FROM 11 A.M. TO 1 P.M. AND I HOPE EVERYBODY WILL CONSIDER ATTENDING. AND THAT'S WHAT I'VE GOT. THANK YOU MAYOR. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. SO I THINK WE ENTERED INTO THE AGREEMENT WITH L. S AND S FISCAL YEAR 25, WAS IT NOT? IT WAS MARCH 3RD, 2025 WAS THE FIRST DAY OF THE AGREEMENT, 2025 THAT WE ENTERED INTO THE AGREEMENT. AND I KNOW WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF REPORTS AND UPDATES LIKE WHAT WE'RE HAVING TONIGHT. AND THEN I SEE THAT THE CLOSING FOR THE SURVEY WAS MAY 8TH. CAN I ASK WHAT IS THE DELAY OR WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF THE SURVEY NOT BEING THE RESULTS NOT BEING AVAILABLE TONIGHT? BEING THAT WE'RE ALMOST A MONTH SINCE IT'S CLOSED. SO THE SURVEY RAN UNTIL MAY 8TH. AND THEN THEY HAVE A TEAM THAT IS WORKING ON ANALYZING ALL OF THE DATA. I DO NOT HAVE THAT TIMELINE IN MY HEAD RIGHT NOW, BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY GET THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU IF IF WE COULD BE PROVIDED, MR. CITY MANAGER, A DATE OF EXPECTATION FOR THAT REPORT. AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE I'VE BEEN EAGERLY WAITING TO SEE WHAT ARE THE PLANS? HOW ARE WE PLANNING ON CHANGING THE FOOTPRINT AND WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ON THE INSIDE OF THE LIBRARY? AND I DON'T GET ME WRONG, YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB.

THANK YOU. BUT I AM PATIENTLY WAITING TO SEE THE RESULTS. WHAT CHANGES ARE BEING MADE? ASSESSMENTS HAVE BEEN GOING ON, SEEM LIKE FOR A YEAR NOW, AND I WOULD THINK SOMETHING WOULD HAVE BEEN PROVIDED. YEAH, WE'LL WE'LL GET THAT TIMELINE FOR YOU ASAP AND GET THAT OUT HERE OUT THERE. OKAY. AND LET ME SEE, WAS THERE ANOTHER QUESTION SINCE WE'VE ENTERED INTO THE

[02:20:06]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. AND I'M HAPPY TO HEAR ABOUT THE HIGH NUMBERS THAT YOU'RE RECEIVING THERE AT THE LIBRARY. THANK YOU. EXCUSE ME. LAST, LAST ITEM FOR THIS EVENING.

[9.C. Annual Review of the City Council Rules and Procedures ]

MAYOR PRO TEM SERVES IN THE MAYOR'S ABSENCE. AND THEN IT DOES OUTLINE THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF CITY COUNCIL, THE CITY MANAGER, THE CITY ATTORNEY AND THE CITY SECRETARY. AND THEN IT ALSO HAS A SECTION ON HOW YOU DEAL WITH CITY COUNCIL AND STAFF RELATIONS, BRINGING, YOU KNOW, INQUIRIES. ACCORDING TO THE CITY MANAGER, PROFESSIONAL INTERACTION BETWEEN COUNCIL AND STAFF, YOU KNOW, EQUAL DISTRIBUTION OF INFORMATION TO ALL CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THEN JUST TIMELY COMMUNICATION OR JUST SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS.

AND THEN ALSO THERE IS IT DOES OUTLINE THE MEETINGS AND THE AGENDA PROCESS OF HOW, WHAT KIND OF MEETINGS THE COUNCIL HOLDS, WHETHER THAT'S THEIR REGULAR SCHEDULED MEETINGS, ANY KIND OF SPECIAL MEETINGS OR EMERGENCY MEETINGS. AND THEN IT EVEN HAS KIND OF AN OUTLINE OF OUR AGENDA, PROCESS WORKS AND MEETING MANAGEMENT. AND THEN ALSO JUST KIND OF A RULES OF CONTACT. I'LL, I'LL KIND OF QUICKLY WALK THROUGH THAT JUST, YOU KNOW, COUNCIL EXPECTATIONS AS WELL AS PUBLIC PARTICIPATION, CITIZEN COMMENT OPPORTUNITIES, PUBLIC HEARING PROCEDURES, ETC.

AND THEN ALSO THERE'S A MEDIA AND SOCIAL MEDIA COMMUNICATIONS PRINCIPLES. AND FINALLY, YOU ALSO GOT BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND HOW THOSE WORK HAVE RULES ON COUNT WHEN YOU CAN HAVE TOWN HALL MEETINGS AND JUST DISTRICT SUPPORTED ENGAGEMENT AS WELL, AS WELL AS COUNCIL LIAISONS TO DIFFERENT BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, QUARTERLY UPDATES ENCOURAGED AND THEN FOCUS ON COMMUNICATION AND ACCOUNTABILITY. ETHICS CENTERS AND GOVERNMENT IS ALSO IN THERE. AND THEN SO WHEN WHEN REVIEWING, YOU KNOW, FROM A STAFF STANDPOINT, REVIEWING THE RULES AND PROCEDURES, WE OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE A FEW CHANGES THAT DEFINITELY WE DO NEED TO DO. I MENTIONED EARLIER ABOUT THE, THE, THE PILLARS AND THE, AND THE MISSION STATEMENT. BUT ALSO WE DID HAVE THAT CHARTER ELECTION BACK IN NOVEMBER. AND THERE'S A COUPLE OF THERE'S JUST A COUPLE OF HANDFUL PLACES WHERE IT REFERENCED CHARTER LANGUAGE. THAT'S THAT'S NO LONGER THAT WAS REMOVED, FOR EXAMPLE, UNDER THE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE MAYOR. YOU KNOW, IT TALKS ABOUT HIS RESPONSIBILITIES, BUT IT ALSO KIND OF REVIEWS IT KIND OF REFERENCES SOME SOME LANGUAGE THAT THAT WAS REMOVED, I.E. THE, THE, THE, THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE DISTRICTS IN MAY OF 2003. SO REALLY MORE JUST KIND OF CLEANUP, NOTHING MAJOR, BUT ALSO JUST KIND OF, YOU KNOW, OVER THE LAST, YOU KNOW, MY, MY TIME HERE AND TALKING WITH STAFF, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME OTHER THINGS THAT I THINK COUNCIL COULD CONSIDER YOUR MEETING START TIMES. WE CURRENTLY START AT 6 P.M. BUT THERE'S BEEN SEVERAL TIMES WHERE WE'VE STARTED EARLY. IT IS SOMETHING TO CONSIDER, SOMETHING FOR, YOU KNOW, Y'ALL TO LET US KNOW IF THAT'S SOMETHING YOU'RE INTERESTED IN.

AND THEN REALLY KIND OF LOOKING. ONE THING THAT REALLY KIND OF STANDS OUT IS MEETING FORMAT AND STRUCTURE. YOU KNOW, I THINK ONE OF THE CHALLENGES, YOU KNOW, WE FACE SOMETIMES IS WE START AT 6 P.M. WE'VE GOT SOME BRIEFINGS, WE'VE GOT EXECUTIVE SESSION, AND WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO GET THAT ALL KNOCKED OUT IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. SO WE CAN BE OUT HERE BY SEVEN. EVEN TONIGHT WE WERE REALLY ON THE CLOCK. AND SO I HAVE A SLIDE ON THAT NEXT. SO THAT'S SOMETHING THE COUNCIL COULD CONSIDER ON HOW TO ADDRESS THAT. THE CITIZEN INPUT SESSION. YOU KNOW, THERE'S BEEN SOME QUESTIONS OVER THE LAST YEAR OF LIKE, HEY, DO WE DO WE

[02:25:02]

I DID WANT TO POINT OUT, TALKING WITH CEDAR HILL, THEY DO THEIR BRIEFING SESSION AS PART OF THEIR REGULAR SESSION IN THEIR COUNCIL CHAMBERS, BUT THEY WILL HAVE SPECIAL WORKSHOPS. AND WHEN THEY DO THOSE WORKSHOPS, THEY DO THAT IN A CONFERENCE ROOM. DESOTO AND UNIVERSITY PARK WERE INTERESTING. IF THEY HAVE AN EXECUTIVE SESSION, THEY START THOSE MEETINGS AT 4 P.M. THEY START AT 4 P.M. AND AND ONLY WHEN THEY HAVE EXECUTIVE SESSION. AND THEN SPEAKING WITH LANCASTER AND ROWLETT, THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A STANDALONE MEETING FOR THEIR WORK SESSION. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, LANCASTER HAS THEIR REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETINGS EVERY MONTH, AND THEY HAVE ONE MEETING WHERE IT'S JUST SOLELY DEDICATED TO WORK SESSION ITEMS, AND THAT'S ONCE A MONTH. AND THEY DO THAT IN THEIR TRAINING ROOM WITH THE JAMES WILLIAMS PUMP STATION. AND THEN ALSO ROWLETT DOES TWO STANDALONE MONTHLY BRIEFING MEETINGS. SO REALLY KIND OF LOOKING AT IT, MY, YOU KNOW, FROM A STAFF STANDPOINT, IT MAY WORTH IT MAY BE WORTH CONSIDERING TO MAKE SURE YOU, YOU HAVE TIME AND, YOU KNOW, YOU START, YOU KNOW, DON'T YOU KNOW, NOT START AS MAYBE YOU DO CONSIDER DOING EVERYTHING HERE IN THE REGULAR CITY COUNCIL CHAMBER. START AT 6:00, DO YOUR INVOCATION, CALL YOUR MEETING TO ORDER, AND THEN YOU CAN INCORPORATE THOSE BRIEFING PRESENTATIONS INTO THE ACTUAL AGENDA, WHETHER YOU DO THOSE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING OR THE END, YOU KNOW, REALLY IT IS UP TO COUNCIL ON HOW THEY WOULD WANT TO DO THAT. BUT IT IS IT IS A VIABLE OPTION IF WE REALLY DO WANT TO TRY TO, YOU KNOW, KEEP THINGS ON TIME, NOT FEEL RUSHED AND JUST WE'RE ALL IN THE SAME PLACE. IT, IT IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK WOULD BE WORTH CONSIDERING. BUT AGAIN, I'M NOT I'M, WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR ACTION TONIGHT. WE JUST WANT TO PUT THESE OUT HERE TO THINK ABOUT. AND THEN REALLY, I THINK NEXT STEPS. OBVIOUSLY WE NEED TO COME BACK AND, AND MAKE THOSE UPDATES THOSE CLEANUPS. SO THE CHARTER LANGUAGE AND THEN ALSO THE MISSION STATEMENT AND THE COUNCIL PILLARS. AND THEN AGAIN, IF THERE'S ANY OTHER FEEDBACK TONIGHT, WE CAN GO BACK AND LOOK AT THAT AS WELL AND BRING THAT FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AT A FUTURE MEETING. SO THAT CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU. MAYOR. COUNCIL, I UNDERSTAND THE REQUEST FOR A CHANGE OF TIME. I WILL SAY PUT IT OUT THERE. I'M NOT INTERESTED IN CONSIDERING A DIFFERENT TIME. I SOME OF US DO WORK DURING THE DAY AND TRYING TO LEAVE WORK AND GET HERE AND GET THROUGH TRAFFIC AND BE PRESENT FOR COUNCIL WOULD BE A. AND THEN PLUS FOR THE PUBLIC WHO IS ACCUSTOMED TO COMING AND WANTING TO ATTEND. THEY. TO WORK AND HAVE IT STARTING AT AN EARLIER TIME MAY MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR OUR CITIZENS TO BE ABLE TO ATTEND THE MEETINGS. SO I THINK 6:00 IS A REASONABLE TIME FOR OUR START TIME. I'LL START WITH THAT AND THEN OPEN IT UP FOR DISCUSSION. MR. DAVIS.

[02:30:04]

ONE OF THE THINGS I JUST PUBLICLY SAY THAT I THINK THAT WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT IS A BRIEFING FORECAST. EVEN IF WE DID IT AS ONE, IF WE LOOKED AT A BRIEFING FORECAST TO LOOK OUT INTO THE QUARTER, TO SAY THAT WE WANT TO BRIEF ON A, B, C, D, E, F, AND G AND FORECAST THAT OUT AND TRY TO IDENTIFY, IS THAT OUR FIRST MEETING OR OUR SECOND MEETING THAT IS REALLY KIND OF BRIEFING CENTRIC. AND THEN ANOTHER MEETING BEING MORE SO THE VOTING AGENDA MEETING WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT OUR ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION AND CONSENT, AND REALLY DISTINGUISHING AND DISCRIMINATING BETWEEN WHAT IS A BRIEFING MEMO, A STAFF REPORT AND AN ACTUAL BRIEFING PRESENTATION AND LOOKING OUT INTO THE FUTURE. SO I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO, YOU KNOW, DO SOME CITY MANAGER'S DEEP DIVE WITH YOU ON THAT. BUT THAT'S JUST SOME IDEAS I THOUGHT THAT MAY HELP US BE ABLE TO GET AFTER WHAT I THINK WE'RE TRYING TO GET AFTER NOW. THAT'S GOOD FEEDBACK, AND I'M DEFINITELY HAPPY TO MEET AND DISCUSS FURTHER. THANK YOU, MR. KOONTZ. YES. SO TO START, JUST TO ECHO WHAT MAYOR PRO TEM NOT SEE ALREADY AT LARGE, COUNCILWOMAN GOODEN STATED, I'VE NEVER HAD ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THE START TIME. I'VE NEVER HEARD ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THE START TIME FOR US. AND THIS IS A BUSINESS MEETING FOR US. SO WE'RE HERE TO CONDUCT BUSINESS AND TO TRY TO FACILITATE THINGS FOR THE PUBLIC. SO, YOU KNOW, I'VE I'VE NEVER HEARD ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THAT. SO I'LL PUT THAT OUT THERE. I, I BELIEVE THE CURRENT MAYOR DOES A GOOD JOB OF KEEPING US ON SCHEDULE AND MAKING SURE WE'RE MOVING FORWARD. SO AND THAT'S PART OF HIS ROLE. PRESIDING OVER THE MEETING IS TO MAKE SURE WE ARE ON SCHEDULE. I KNOW WITH THE EXECUTIVE SESSIONS, IT SAYS WE WE HAVE THEM AT THE BEGINNING, BUT I KNOW IN TIMES PAST, AT THE DISCRETION OF, YOU KNOW, THE MAYOR AND THE COUNCIL, WE WOULD MOVE ITEMS TO THE END IF IF NECESSARY. AND IF IT DIDN'T INVOLVE KEEPING SOMEBODY ELSE LATE. AND SO THAT THAT'S ALWAYS AN OPTION IF WE NEED TO JUST MOVE SOMETHING TO THE END. YOU KNOW, WHEN I, WHEN I SIGNED UP, I KNEW WHAT I WAS SIGNING UP FOR AND POTENTIALLY LONG MEETINGS. AND SO AGAIN, THAT'S NOT NOT A PARTICULAR CONCERN OF MINE. I DID HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS WHEN IT COMES TO THE CITIZEN COMMENTS. SO THERE WAS A QUESTION WE WERE ASKING EARLIER. YOU KNOW, WHEN IT TALKS ABOUT I KNOW FOR THE COUNCIL THAT PERSONAL ATTACKS ARE NOT ALLOWED AND BRING UP.

AND IS THAT ADDRESS SPECIFICALLY, EXPLICITLY IN OUR RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR CITY STAFF? NO. YEAH. I WAS GOING TO SAY IT'S NOT CLEAR. NO IT'S NOT. OKAY. SO RIGHT, RIGHT NOW, SOMEONE COULD SPEAK EXPLICITLY, EXPLICITLY ABOUT A STAFF MEMBER. BUT OKAY, SO THAT THAT MAY BE SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO LOOK AT REVISING BECAUSE I KNOW IN THE PAST WE HAD SITUATIONS WHERE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK ABOUT STAFF MEMBERS. BUT THAT'S NOT, NOT THE CASE. BUT MAYBE IT SHOULD BE. AND THEN I JUST HAD ONE OTHER QUESTION OR COMMENT, MAYBE SOMETHING WE NEED TO LOOK AT AS FAR AS OUR WHEN WE CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARINGS, BECAUSE I KNOW SOMETIMES WE HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ORDER AND I BELIEVE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. I NOTICED THAT THEY DO THEIR. THE ORDER FOR THE PUBLIC HEARINGS IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. AND SO JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S CLEAR, THE PROCEDURE THERE AS FAR AS, OKAY, WHEN WE GET THE PRESENTATION AND THEN WHEN WE ALLOW PEOPLE TO COME AND SPEAK, AND THEN WHEN WE ALLOW COUNCIL CONVERSATIONS. SO EXACTLY WHAT IS THAT THAT ORDER THAT WE DO THOSE THINGS IN, MAKE SURE THAT'S CLEAR. AND RIGHT NOW, THE WAY IT READS, I'VE GOT IT HERE. SO FOR THE PUBLIC HEARINGS, IT SAYS BOTH PROPONENTS AND OPPONENTS SHALL HAVE A MAXIMUM OF TEN MINUTES PER SIDE FOR THEIR PRESENTATION, AND THEN A MAXIMUM OF FIVE MINUTES PER SIDE WILL BE PROVIDED FOR REBUTTAL AND REBUTTAL. AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED, THE COUNCIL MAY ASK QUESTIONS OF THE SPEAKER, AND THEN THE FINAL SPEAKER MUST LIMIT THEIR RESPONSE TO THE QUESTION ASKED BY THE COUNCIL. AND THAT'S THAT'S ALL IT REALLY SAYS RIGHT NOW. OKAY. AND I THINK MAYBE THERE SHOULD BE SOME LANGUAGE IN THERE AS FAR AS THE APPLICANT. AND WHEN THEY MAKE THEIR COMMENTS, THEIR PRESENTATION. SO IT'S A DEVELOPER OR SOMEONE, SOME KIND OF REQUEST IS ZONING REQUESTS

[02:35:07]

SO THEREFORE, WE WE WE MEET THE DEMANDS AS WE SEE FIT. BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION AS WELL, MR. ABERNATHY. I'LL ADD THAT ONE OF THE THINGS, AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT DURING THE MEETINGS WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WHERE TO PUT OUR PRIORITIES, SOMETIMES IT IS THAT WE HAVE STAFF THAT'S STILL HERE, AND WE COULD MOVE THEM UP FRONT AND ALLOW THEM TO GO HOME, BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN HERE SINCE 8:00 IN THE MORNING, MAYBE EARLIER THAN THAT. AND SO WHEN I SEE THAT WE'RE PUSHING 10:00 AND I'VE GOT STAFF MEMBERS STILL HERE THAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE A REASON TO BE HERE. I SURE LIKE TO. NOW, PORTUGUESA, SHE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE HERE BECAUSE I GOT TO SIGN ALL THE DOCUMENTS. SHE'S GOT TO BE HERE WITH ME. SO WE'RE IN THAT TOGETHER. BUT THAT'S OKAY. BUT AS FAR AS THE REST GO, I, I TRY TO BE COGNIZANT OF THE FACT THAT IF WE CAN, YOU KNOW, TRY TO GET THAT BUSINESS TAKEN CARE OF SO WE CAN LET THE FOLKS GO HOME. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, YEAH, IT'S, IT'S A CHALLENGE TO TRY TO GET THE, THE, EVERYTHING WE NEED TO DO IN BRIEFING AND THEN GET OUT HERE IN TIME SO THAT WE, WE CAN START ON TIME BECAUSE THE PUBLIC, IT'S POSTED THAT WE'LL START AT 7:00 AND WE'VE GOTTEN A LOT BETTER. I APPRECIATE THE EFFORTS THAT YOU AND STAFF ARE MAKING TO WRAP UP THE PRESENTATIONS AND TIMELY MANNERS, SO THAT WE CAN MEET THAT 7:00 DEADLINE. SO I THANK EVERYBODY IN IN THOSE ON THE COUNCIL, TOO, THAT ARE AWARE THAT THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO LATELY. WELL, I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME ON THIS. AND JUST BASED ON THE FEEDBACK I'VE GOT, I'LL DEFINITELY I CAN OBVIOUSLY, WE CAN COME BACK WITH THOSE CHANGES. WE TALKED ABOUT THE CLEANUP STUFF. I CAN COME BACK MAYBE WITH A FOLLOW UP PRESENTATION ON WHAT A PUBLIC HEARING MAY LOOK LIKE. I MAY GO GET SOME EXAMPLES OF SOME OTHER CITIES, WORK WITH OUR CITY ATTORNEY, EVEN THE IF WE WANT TO PUT SOME MORE RULES ON WHAT CITIZENS YOU KNOW, THE CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT PORTION I CAN BRING BACK, I'LL GO LOOK AT SOME OTHER CITIES AND SEE WHAT THEY WHAT THEY DO, TOO. IF THERE IS ANY INTEREST AT LOOKING AT A MEETING FORMAT WHERE THE BRIEFING IS HERE IN THE REGULAR COUNCIL CHAMBERS, AND WE JUST KIND OF DO EVERYTHING HERE, I CAN DEFINITELY BRING THAT BACK TO IF THAT'S SOMETHING YOU'RE INTERESTED IN, BUT I DEFINITELY HAVE TAKEN THESE NOTES AND I, I APPRECIATE THE FEEDBACK. AND THEN, YES, I'LL BE AVAILABLE TO MEET WITH YOU ANYTIME TO, TO GO THROUGH SOME, SOME MORE DETAILS, BUT I CAN DEFINITELY COME BACK WITH, WITH, WITH SOME NOTES AND SOME, SOME EXAMPLES ON, ON THESE ITEMS. BUT AGAIN, IF YOU WANT ME TO BRING A DIFFERENT MEETING FORMAT, IF THAT'S SOMETHING OF INTEREST, I CAN, I CAN GO LOOK AT SOME EXAMPLES AND BRING THAT BACK FOR EVERYBODY TO LOOK AT. FAIR ENOUGH. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU ALL. THANK DO. AND WITH THAT, THAT ENDS OUR BUSINESS. AND I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT THAT CLOCK. WE'RE GOING TO GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE 9:00. 859. WE ARE
