          [VI.A. Discussion regarding the 2026 Water and Wastewater Rate Study. (Stovall) ]
THANK YOU. OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE INTO WORK SESSION COMMITTEE REPORTS AND STAFF REPORTS. ITEM A'S DISCUSSION REGARDING THE 2026 WATER AND WASTEWATER RATE STUDY. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL. THIS EVENING WE HAVE JASON GRAY WITH WILLDAN FINANCIAL, WHO COMPLETED OUR 2026 RATE STUDY. I'LL GO AHEAD AND TURN IT OVER TO HIM. THIS IS JUST A WORK SESSION ITEM THIS EVENING. THIS IS NOT FOR APPROVAL, BUT FOR YOUR FIRST REVIEW. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. AGAIN, MY NAME IS JASON GRAHAM, VICE PRESIDENT WITH WILLDAN FINANCIAL SERVICES, BASED IN PLANO, TEXAS. WE HAVE BEEN PROVIDING YOUR WATER AND WASTEWATER RATE STUDIES FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. TONIGHT'S AN UPDATE. AS CARLA MENTIONED, WORK SESSION TOPIC ONLY. NO ACTION NEEDED TONIGHT, BUT HAVE SOME BACKGROUND ON STATUS OF YOUR RATE PLAN, HOW IT'S PERFORMING AND WHAT THE OUTLOOK IS FOR THE COMING YEARS. SO IN WORKING THROUGH THE BACKGROUND ON WATER AND WASTEWATER RATES, WE USED ESSENTIALLY THE SAME METHODOLOGY THAT WE HAVE USED IN THE PAST. A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT ARE WORTH NOTING IS THAT AVERAGE UTILITY COSTS FOR CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN INCREASING AT A PACE OF 5 TO 6% PER YEAR. 
          GENERALLY SPEAKING, THAT'S NOT A SALINAS SPECIFIC NUMBER. THAT'S NOT A TEXAS SPECIFIC NUMBER. THAT IS A NATIONAL NUMBER, AND THAT'S TRACKED BY THE AMERICAN WATER WORKS ASSOCIATION. THAT GROUP, WHICH MONITORS THESE THINGS ON A NATIONAL BASIS, IS PROJECTING THAT THE COST OF WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICES WILL TRIPLE OVER THE NEXT 15 YEARS. SO A VARIETY OF REASONS WHY THAT IS. BUT SUFFICE IT TO SAY THAT WATER, WATER AND WASTEWATER INFRASTRUCTURE IS NOT GETTING ANY LESS EXPENSIVE. IN FACT, IT'S OUTPACING INFLATION AND THE VAST MAJORITY OF CASES. AND AGAIN, THAT'S ACROSS THE COUNTRY, NOT JUST HERE LOCALLY. 
          RATE ADJUSTMENTS TEND TO BE, GENERALLY SPEAKING, DUE TO REASONS THAT ARE BEYOND YOUR DIRECT CONTROL. YOUR OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE ACTUALLY MAKES UP A FAIRLY SMALL PORTION OF YOUR OVERALL BUDGET PURCHASE. WATER, WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANS, AND THEN THE INFRASTRUCTURE ITSELF IS WHAT ARE THE THREE PRIMARY COST DRIVERS FOR ANY WATER AND WASTEWATER PLAN? 30 TO 40% OF UTILITIES OUT THERE ARE CURRENTLY CHARGING RATES THAT DON'T FULLY RECOVER THEIR COSTS. SOME PEOPLE MIGHT ASK, WELL, HOW CAN THAT BE? THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS TO NOT RECOVER YOUR COSTS. SOME UTILITIES ACTUALLY OPERATE IN THE RED. OTHERS SUBSIDIZE THEIR UTILITY FUNDS WITH GENERAL FUNDS. OTHERS SIMPLY DEFER 
          [00:15:02]
MAINTENANCE. AND THAT'S PROBABLY THE MOST COMMON WAY OF NOT COVERING THE FULL COST IS JUST KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD AND DEFERRING MAINTENANCE TO THE POINT OF WHERE THERE HOPING THAT THEIR SYSTEM DOESN'T COME TO FAILURE. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE SOME CASES NATIONALLY THAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE LAST TEN YEARS WHERE SYSTEMS HAVE COME TO FAILURE AND THEY END UP, GENERALLY SPEAKING, BEING TAKEN OVER BY A STATE AND THEN TRY TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER AT THE COST OF, GENERALLY SPEAKING, ABOUT TEN X, WHAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TO JUST MAINTAIN AND OPERATE IT APPROPRIATELY OVER TIME. SO THAT'S SORT OF A NATIONAL BACKGROUND. MORE LOCALLY HERE. YOUR CURRENT RATES WENT INTO EFFECT IN JUNE OF 2023. YOUR UTILITY FUND REMAINS FINANCIALLY HEALTHY. GROWTH HAS TWO IMPACTS ON RATE PLANS AND AND UTILITY BUDGETS IN GENERAL. OBVIOUSLY, THE MORE CUSTOMERS THAT YOU NEED TO SERVE, THE MORE INFRASTRUCTURE YOU NEED TO SERVE THOSE CUSTOMERS. BUT IT ALSO PROVIDES A LARGER BASE TO SPREAD THE COSTS OVER. AND SO THE GROWTH IN THIS CASE AND YOUR PRUDENT USE OF IMPACT FEES AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS HAVE ALLOWED FOR A RATE PLAN TO BE IN PLACE OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS. THAT HASN'T REQUIRED ANY CHANGES. AND GROWTH IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO BE STRONG. WE'RE AWARE THAT THE MARKETPLACE IS PERHAPS NOT QUITE WHAT IT WAS, SAY, 12 MONTHS AGO OR MAYBE 18 MONTHS AGO. HOWEVER, WE DO STILL EXPECT STRONG GROWTH WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. THAT ADDED REVENUE FROM THE GROWTH HELPS TO OFFSET THE INFLATION PRESSURE, AS WELL AS THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT. PRESSURE FROM THAT WOULD OTHERWISE NEED TO BE TAKEN UP WITH RATE ADJUSTMENTS. INFLATION IS DRIVING UP OPERATING AND ESPECIALLY CAPITAL COSTS. WE'VE SEEN PROJECTS LITERALLY DOUBLE IN COST OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS FOR THE SAME AMOUNT OF GALLONS OF TREATMENT OR STORAGE, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. AND SO ANY OF THE CAPITAL COSTS THAT WE SEE, PARTICULARLY IN WHAT UTILITIES HAVE REALLY SKYROCKETED SINCE COVID, I WOULD SAY, BUT THEY'RE NOT COMING DOWN. I THINK EVERYBODY IN THE INDUSTRY SORT OF EXPECTED A COVID SPIKE, AND THEN THAT THEY WOULD EITHER COME DOWN OR AT LEAST FLATTEN, BUT WE HAVEN'T SEEN THAT ACROSS THE INDUSTRY. UPPER TRINITY COSTS CONTINUE TO INCREASE YOUR WHOLESALE PROVIDER AND AS THEIR COST INCREASES, THAT'S A COST THAT YOU NEED TO PASS THROUGH. GENERALLY SPEAKING, INTO YOUR CUSTOMERS, THERE'S $316 MILLION IN NEW DEBT PROJECTED FOR THE UTILITIES PORTION OF THE CIP PROJECTS. AND ALL OF THOSE FACTORS REALLY REQUIRE YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR RATES ON A VERY REGULAR BASIS. WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS ANNUALLY AND INTEND TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. I WON'T SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON YOUR CURRENT WATER RATE STRUCTURE, BUT JUST NOTE THAT YOU'VE GOT WHAT WE WOULD CONSIDER TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON RATE STRUCTURE FOR TEXAS. YOU HAVE A BASE CHARGE THAT ALL OF YOUR CUSTOMERS PAY DEPENDENT UPON THE SIZE OF THE METER THAT THEY HAVE. AND THEN WHETHER IT'S RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL CUSTOMER CLASS, YOU HAVE DIFFERING RATES FOR INSIDE AND OUTSIDE CUSTOMERS. AND THEN YOU ALSO HAVE A TIERED RATE STRUCTURE FOR VOLUME. AND SO THE MORE WATER THAT YOU USE, THE, THE MORE THAT YOU PAY FOR THAT WATER. GENERALLY SPEAKING, FIRST TIER IS ACTUALLY INCLUDED IN YOUR BASE CHARGE. 2000 GALLONS IS INCLUDED IN YOUR BASE CHARGE FOR WATER, AND THEN THE FIRST TIER GOES UP TO 10,000 GALLONS OF USAGE, WHICH TAKES CARE OF MOST RESIDENTIAL USE. AND THAT WOULD COME IN AT 537 PER THOUSAND GALLONS FOR INSIDE CITY CUSTOMERS, THE HIGHEST TIER 30,000 GALLONS AND ABOVE, WHICH IS SOME OF YOUR HIGHEST RESIDENTIAL USERS. THEY PAY 1381 FOR THOSE GALLONS ABOVE 30,000. SO IT DOES STEP UP A 30,000 GALLON USER THE FIRST, YOU KNOW, 2000 TO 10,000 GALLONS PAYS 537 FOR THOSE 1000 PER THOUSAND GALLONS. THE NEXT 10,000 GALLONS THEY PAY 813. 
          THE NEXT THOUSAND GALLONS THEY PAY 957 AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. FROM A WASTEWATER STANDPOINT, VERY SIMILAR RATE STRUCTURE, BASE CHARGE PLUS A TIERED VOLUME CHARGE. RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL HAVE A DIFFERENT TIER OR DIFFERENT VOLUME STRUCTURE, AS WE OFTEN SEE COMMERCIAL BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE SAME ABILITY NECESSARILY TO CONSERVE. 
          GENERALLY SPEAKING, WE DO SEE FLAT RATES ON VOLUME FOR COMMERCIAL WASTEWATER, WHICH IS WHAT YOU HAVE AT 6.94 PER THOUSAND GALLONS. YOU DO HAVE A TIERED RATE STRUCTURE FOR RESIDENTIAL, 6.37 FOR THE FIRST 5000 GALLONS AND 788. HOWEVER, YOU DO USE WINTER AVERAGING. SO THE WASTEWATER IS REALLY CAPPED ESSENTIALLY AT THE AT THE THREE MONTHS OF WINTER, AVERAGE WATER USE. THIS CHART COMPARES YOUR RATES, YOUR CURRENT RATES TO OTHERS IN YOUR IN THE SORT OF THE SURROUNDING AREA. AND WE DO HAVE BOTH OF YOUR COMMON RESIDENTIAL METER SIZES IDENTIFIED. ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THIS CHART, A THREE QUARTER INCH METER AND ALSO A ONE INCH METER. THE OLDER METERS IN TOWN TEND TO BE THE THREE QUARTER INCH METERS. THE NEWER METERS TEND TO BE THE ONE INCH METERS. AND SO THIS IS COMPARED TO THE MOST COMMON METER SIZE IN THE VARIOUS COMMUNITIES THAT YOU SEE HERE. GENERALLY SPEAKING, THOSE TEND 
          [00:20:04]
TO BE THREE QUARTERS INCH METERS. SAME KIND OF COMPARISON. BUT ON A COMMERCIAL TWO INCH METER. THIS IS FOR 50,000 GALLONS OF WATER AND WASTEWATER COMBINED. COMMERCIAL CUSTOMER WOULD PAY $1,178.06 FOR THAT USAGE LEVEL HERE IN SALINA. AND YOU CAN SEE HOW THAT STACKS UP WITH THE SAMPLE AVERAGE THAT WE HAVE. SO THE NEXT STEP, AFTER WE UNDERSTAND THE RATE STRUCTURE, IS TO TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR CURRENT CUSTOMERS AND VOLUMES. RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE A LITTLE OVER 19,000 WATER CUSTOMERS, WATER CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS, I SHOULD SAY. AND THAT INCLUDES ALL YOUR DIFFERENT CUSTOMER CLASSES, RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL, MUNICIPAL, FIRE HYDRANT, BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE CITY USES. YOUR WASTEWATER SIDE HAS ABOUT 18,000 THERE. YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THERE ARE 126 FIRE HYDRANT. YOU DO HAVE SOME IRRIGATION METERS OUT THERE, AND YOU'VE GOT SOME FOLKS THAT HAVE WATER SERVICE BUT DON'T HAVE SEWER SERVICE BECAUSE THEY'RE ON SEPTIC. AND SO COMMON TO SEE A DIFFERENT NUMBER OF WASTEWATER ACCOUNTS RATHER THAN WATER ACCOUNTS. NOTICE THAT RESIDENTIAL INSIDE MAKES UP ALMOST 94% OF YOUR TOTAL ACCOUNTS. WHEN IT COMES TO USAGE IN OUR WHAT WE CONSIDER TO BE OUR TEST YEAR OF 2026, WE EXPECT THAT YOU'LL USE ABOUT THAT. YOU'LL BILL ABOUT 2.26 BILLION GALLONS OF WATER, 67.2% OF THAT IS RESIDENTIAL INSIDE THE CITY, AND 23.1% IS COMMERCIAL INSIDE THE CITY. COMMERCIAL RIGHT NOW APPEARS TO BE IS YOUR FASTEST GROWING BECAUSE OF THE SUBSTANTIAL COMMERCIAL THAT YOU'VE SEEN COMING ON BOARD IN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. HOWEVER, IT STILL MAKES UP LESS THAN A QUARTER OF THE TOTAL USE. 
          HOWEVER, NOTE THAT THE NUMBER OF ACCOUNTS AGAIN, YOUR RESIDENTIAL MADE UP ALMOST 94% OF YOUR NUMBER OF ACCOUNTS, BUT MAKE UP JUST A LITTLE OVER TWO THIRDS OF THE ACTUAL USE ITSELF. 
          AND THE FIRE HYDRANT USE IS, AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW, GENERALLY SPEAKING, CONSTRUCTION RELATED TEMPORARY METERS THAT THEY ATTACH TO A FIRE HYDRANT AND ARE CHARGED A SPECIFIC RATE FOR THAT. WHEN WE LOOK AT YOUR ACCOUNT FORECAST, AND WE ARE AGAIN, STILL EXPECTING RELATIVELY FAST GROWTH, VERY FAST GROWTH, ONE OF OUR FASTEST GROWING CLIENTS FOR BOTH THE WATER AND THE WASTEWATER, WE EXPECT THE 19,301 TO GROW TO 29,000 ACCOUNTS BY 2030 ON THE WATER SIDE, AND 18,000 ACCOUNTS NOW TO GROW TO 20, ALMOST 28,000 BY 2030 ON THE WASTEWATER SIDE. BUILD VOLUME, WE EXPECT TO INCREASE AT ESSENTIALLY THE SAME PACE AS YOUR AS YOUR ACCOUNT GROWTH INCREASES AGAIN, AS YOUR COMMUNITY BECOMES MORE HIGHLY COMMERCIAL AND AS THE COMMERCIAL BUILDS OUT, AS IT IS DOING RIGHT NOW, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE WATCHING ON A VERY REGULAR BASIS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO FORECAST OUT ON A CUSTOMER CLASS BASIS, AND NOT JUST ON A BROAD BASIS. WE DO THAT. I'M SORRY, WE DO THAT NOW, BUT IT BECOMES THAT MUCH MORE IMPORTANT AS YOUR CUSTOMER CLASS BEGINS TO CHANGE A LITTLE BIT IN DYNAMIC. AS WE GO THROUGH THE YEARS, ALL THAT TO BE ALL THAT TO SAY RIGHT NOW, AGAIN, WE EXPECT YOU TO HAVE ABOUT 2.26 BILLION GALLONS AND IN BUILD USAGE IN 2026, AND FOR THAT TO GO UP TO ALMOST 3.5 BILLION BY 2030. WATER SUPPLY IS A BIG ISSUE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT WITH YOUR STAFF AND MADE SURE THAT WE UNDERSTOOD WHERE THOSE GALLONS WERE COMING FROM. THIS IS ON A MILLION GALLON PER DAY BASIS, 2026. YOU'VE GOT ACCESS TO ABOUT 10 MILLION GALLONS A DAY. 2027 WE KNOW THAT UPPER TRINITY HAS INCREASED THE ALLOWABLE AMOUNT TO 12 MILLION GALLONS A DAY. WE KNOW OF YOUR WELL PROJECT. THAT SHOULD BRING ON AN ADDITIONAL ONE AND A HALF MGD BY 2028. AND THEN WE'VE GOT ADDITIONAL SOURCES PLUGGED IN FOR 29 AND 2030, AS WE KNOW THAT YOU'RE CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING ADDITIONAL SOURCES FOR WATER BEYOND 2029. WITH THAT, I'LL MOVE INTO THE COST OF SERVICE. 
          THIS IS SORT OF THE THIRD STEP THAT WE TAKE IN THESE UTILITY RATE PROJECTS. WE TAKE YOUR BUDGET AND WE GO THROUGH IT ON A LINE BY LINE BASIS, AND WE APPLY AND WHAT WE CALL AN ACCELERATOR OR AN INFLATOR TO EACH LINE ITEM DIFFERENTLY. WE ALLOCATE THOSE LINE ITEMS BETWEEN THE WATER AND WASTEWATER AND AMONGST THE DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS OF WHETHER IT'S A CUSTOMER BILLING FUNCTION OR A DISTRIBUTION FUNCTION, A TREATMENT FUNCTION, THOSE SORTS OF THINGS, AND GO THROUGH AND IDENTIFY WHAT THE FINANCIAL PLAN LOOKS LIKE OVER THE NEXT TEN YEARS. CERTAIN EXPENSES INCREASE AT A PACE FASTER THAN INFLATION. 
          GENERALLY SPEAKING, CHEMICALS, ELECTRICITY, HEALTH INSURANCE FOR YOUR EMPLOYEES, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS GENERALLY OUTPACE INFLATION. SOME OF THOSE LINE ITEMS ARE ALSO TIED TO THE 
          [00:25:05]
GROWTH THAT YOU'VE GOT. AND SO WE INFLATE THOSE THAT INFLATION PLUS GROWTH, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. AND I WON'T GO INTO TOO MUCH DETAIL ON THAT. HOWEVER, ONE OF THE PRIMARY DRIVING FACTORS IS THE CIP TOTAL IDENTIFIED CIP AS PART OF THIS RATE PLAN IS $384.2 MILLION. 
          OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, ALMOST 240 OF THAT IS IN WATER, AND JUST ABOUT 145 IS IN WASTEWATER. AND AGAIN, WE'VE PROVIDED THE STAFF A TEN YEAR MODEL, AND WE'RE FOCUSING ON THE FIRST FIVE YEARS HERE. ANYTHING PAST THREE YEARS REALLY BEGINS TO GET PRETTY FUZZY. FIVE YEARS IS OKAY. BEYOND THAT IS A BEST GUESS. BUT WE DO PROVIDE A TEN YEAR FINANCIAL PLAN. AND SO WE'VE ASSUMED THAT IN YEARS SIX THROUGH TEN OF THE PLAN, THAT YOU'D CONTINUE TO HAVE CIP FUNDING AT THE PACE OF ABOUT 65 MILLION A YEAR. OF THAT, 384.2 MILLION IN CIP. WE'RE ASSUMING, ALONGSIDE YOUR STAFF THAT 316.1 MILLION WOULD BE FUNDED BY NEW DEBT IN THE FORM OF TO TO, TO FUND THE SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS. ALMOST 60 MILLION BE FUNDED THROUGH IMPACT FEES AND CAPITAL RECOVERY FEES, AND 10.2 MILLION THROUGH REIMBURSEMENT FROM TEXDOT FOR RELOCATIONS. I WON'T GO THROUGH THIS IN DETAIL, OBVIOUSLY, BUT THIS IS THE WATER AND WASTEWATER CIP THAT WE ARE WORKING FROM. WE RECOGNIZE THAT THESE CHANGE ALMOST DAILY. HOWEVER, IN ORDER TO COME UP WITH THE RIGHT PLAN, WE AT SOME POINT HAVE TO STICK A FLAG IN THE GROUND AND SAY, THIS IS THE ONE WE'RE WORKING FROM. AND THIS IS, IN FACT THE CIP THAT THIS RATE PLAN IS BUILT OFF OF. IT DOESN'T MATTER SO MUCH FROM A RATE PERSPECTIVE, WHETHER THESE ARE THE PARTICULAR PROJECTS THAT HAPPEN. WHAT MATTERS FROM A RATEMAKING PERSPECTIVE IS HOW MUCH YOU NEED TO SPEND IN ANY GIVEN YEAR, AND WHETHER THAT'S ON WATER OR WASTEWATER SIDE. AND SO THESE PROJECTS COULD BE SHIFTED AROUND. THE BIG QUESTION IS, DOES IT IMPACT THE TIMING OR THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THAT TIMING AND HOW IT'S FUNDED FOR THE PROJECTS? AND IN ORDER TO RECOGNIZE WHETHER OR NOT IT AFFECTS YOUR RATE PLAN. AGAIN, FROM AN ASSUMPTION STANDPOINT, THESE ARE THE FUTURE BOND ISSUES THAT WE WOULD EXPECT THAT YOU'LL NEED TO DO IN ORDER TO FUND THE PROJECTS THAT WE'VE GOT ON THAT LIST. 65.5 MILLION IN 2026, PEAKING AT 71.15 MILLION IN 2027, GOING DOWN TO 68.85 AND 2028, 53, 75 AND 2029, AND 56.8 MILLION IN 2030. THE DEBT SERVICE, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING THAT YOU NEED TO PAY THE PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST ON THOSE DEBT ISSUANCES RIGHT NOW, ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, YOU ON THE UTILITY FUND, YOU SPEND ABOUT $16.6 MILLION FUNDING DEBT SERVICE THAT WOULD GO UP IN BY 2030 OF YOUR EXISTING DEBT ISSUANCES TO 17.93. AND THEN YOU'D ADD 16.93 MILLION IN DEBT SERVICE ON TOP OF THAT BY 2030. ALL OF THESE ARE BIG NUMBERS, OBVIOUSLY, AS YOU KNOW, AS YOU KNOW VERY WELL, YOUR COMMUNITY IS GROWING QUICKLY. AND SO IN MANY COMMUNITIES, THIS KIND OF ADDITIONAL DEBT LOAD WOULD HAVE SIGNIFICANT RATE IMPACTS BECAUSE OF THE GROWTH THAT YOU'VE GOT, BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT YOU'RE FUNDING THE GROWTH THROUGH A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF IMPACT FEES, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. YOU'LL SEE HERE THAT THE RATE IMPACTS ARE THERE, THEY'RE PRESENT, BUT THEY'RE NOT OVERWHELMING. UPPER TRINITY, WHICH OBVIOUSLY PROVIDES YOUR WATER AND WASTEWATER WHOLESALE SERVICES. WE'RE AGAIN, HAVING TO MAKE ASSUMPTIONS WITHIN THIS RATE MODEL, AND WE'RE ASSUMING THAT THE EFFECTIVE WATER RATE OF YOUR UPPER TRINITY BILLS ACTUALLY COME IN BASED ON A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT COMPONENTS. 
          BUT WHAT WE LOOK AT IS WHAT WHAT YOU'RE PAYING EFFECTIVELY PER THOUSAND GALLONS TODAY. 
          THAT'S 356 ON THE WATER SIDE. WE EXPECT THAT TO GO UP SLIGHTLY NEXT YEAR TO 359 AND THEN CONTINUE TO GROW UP TO 416 BY 2030. ON THE WASTEWATER SIDE, IT GROWS MUCH MORE QUICKLY, ESPECIALLY ON THE FRONT END. 474 NOW UP TO 596 NEXT YEAR AND 621 BY 2030, WITH A PEAK OF 672 BY 2028. SO WITH THAT, THE AMOUNT THAT YOU PAY UP FOR TRINITY OBVIOUSLY IS COMBINATION OF THAT EFFECTIVE RATE AND THE AMOUNT OF GALLONS THAT YOU EITHER BUY OR HAVE THEM TREAT. TODAY, THE WATER COST IS ABOUT $11.4 MILLION. BY 2030, WE EXPECT THAT TO GO TO $20.6 MILLION. YOUR WASTEWATER COST IS INCREASING AGAIN MORE RAPIDLY FROM $8.48 MILLION TODAY, UP TO 17.75 MILLION BY 2030 OVER DOUBLING. AND THAT IS JUST THE COST OF TREATING WASTEWATER. SO WHEN WE ARE FIGURING OUT RATES, THE SORT OF THE BOTTOM LINE THAT WE NEED TO GET TO IS WHAT'S YOUR OVERALL COST OF SERVICE? AND THE OVERALL COST OF SERVICE IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE FROM TODAY'S COST OF SERVICE BETWEEN BOTH WATER AND WASTEWATER OF 
          [00:30:05]
ABOUT $60 MILLION. THAT INCLUDES YOUR OPERATING EXPENSES. AGAIN, THAT'S JUST UNDER 12 MILLION. SO RELATIVELY SMALL PORTION THAT'S YOUR SALARIES, BENEFITS, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR WITH YOUR OPERATING DEPARTMENT. UPPER TRINITY, YOUR WHOLESALE PROVIDER, COSTS ABOUT 19.9 MILLION TODAY. YOU'VE GOT A SMALL PORTION OF CAPITAL OUTLAYS. AND BY CAPITAL OUTLAYS WE MEAN TRUCKS AND EQUIPMENT. GENERALLY SPEAKING, NOT THE BIG CAPITAL PROJECTS WHICH ARE GENERALLY FUNDED BY DEBT SERVICE. THAT MAKES UP 16.6 MILLION AND TRANSFERS AND CONTINGENCIES. YOU'LL YOU'LL NOTE THAT ON THIS CHART, THERE'S A LARGE COMPONENT OF TRANSFERS AND CONTINGENCIES SHOWN IN 2026, AND THAT IS A SCHEDULED PAYMENT FROM SOME EXISTING RESERVES THAT YOU HAVE TO FUND SOME OF THE EXISTING CAPITAL PROJECTS. AND THAT GOES DOWN CONSIDERABLY IN THE FOLLOWING YEARS. BUT OVERALL, THE TOTAL COST OF SERVICE TO PROVIDE WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICES ACROSS THE COMMUNITY GOES FROM ABOUT 60 MILLION TODAY, UP TO 93.6 MILLION BY 2030. THAT IS A COMBINATION OF INCREASED COST FOR THE SAME TYPE OF SERVICES. AND OBVIOUSLY, YOU'RE VERY QUICKLY EXPANDING SERVICE TO DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE COMMUNITY THAT ARE CURRENTLY NOT SERVED. SO ALL THAT COMES DOWN TO RATE PLAN. THE RATE PLANS THAT WE'VE GOT HERE ARE ASSUMING ADJUSTMENTS STARTING IN 2027. WE ARE NOT PROPOSING ANY ADJUSTMENTS FOR 2026. WE'RE NOT PROPOSING AT THE AT THE MOMENT, AT LEAST, ANY FUNDAMENTAL CHANGES IN YOUR WATER AND YOUR WASTEWATER RATE STRUCTURES. A NUMBER OF TIERS, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS ARE STAYING INTACT AS PART OF THIS RATE PLAN. NO RATE ADJUSTMENTS ARE NECESSARY UNTIL APRIL 2027, AND WE HAVE, AFTER THAT DATE, STARTED TO INCLUDE UNIFORM PERCENTAGE ADJUSTMENTS FOR BASE AND VOLUME CHARGES. SO IF THE BASE CHARGE GOES UP 4%, THE VOLUME CHARGES WOULD ALSO GO UP 4%. THIS PROPOSAL DOES ASSUME ANNUAL TRANSFERS FROM THE FUTURE FUTURE INFRASTRUCTURE FEE FUND FOR DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS, WHICH WILL HELP MINIMIZE RATE ADJUSTMENTS. AND SO THAT'S ANOTHER FUNDING TOOL THAT YOU HAVE AVAILABLE TO YOU, THAT YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE SOME RESERVE FOR. AND THIS IS ASSUMING THAT SOME OF THAT GETS USED FOR DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS OVER TIME. SO STARTING AGAIN IN 2027, APRIL OF 2027, NOT SUGGESTING ANY RATE INCREASES ARE NECESSARY FOR THIS YEAR. 
          RATE INCREASES. BASED ON THE ASSUMPTIONS THAT I'VE JUST WALKED THROUGH FOR 20 TO 27 WOULD NEED TO BE ABOUT 4% ON THE WATER SIDE AND 4% ON THE WASTEWATER SIDE FOR BOTH 27 AND 28. WATER TAKES UP A LITTLE BIT PAST PAST 2028. AND FOR 2029 AND 20, 35% ADJUSTMENTS AND 4% ADJUSTMENTS ON WASTEWATER AS WELL. AGAIN, BECAUSE THIS COMMUNITY IS SO DYNAMIC, THE COST OF PROJECTS SO DYNAMIC, THE COST OF WHOLESALE WATER IS DYNAMIC, ALL THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. YOUR GROWTH RATE. WE SUGGEST YOU CONTINUE TO LOOK AT THIS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. WE TRY WITH YOUR STAFF TO BE CONSERVATIVE AND GIVE YOU A REALISTIC LOOK AS TO WHAT THESE COSTS WILL BE. AND IF WE IF I CAN COME BACK HERE NEXT YEAR AND TELL YOU, YOU KNOW WHAT, WE CAN PUT OFF RATE INCREASES FOR ANOTHER YEAR OR IT ONLY NEEDS TO BE 2%. WE'LL CERTAINLY DO THAT. THIS IS NOT A PLAN THAT ANYBODY HAS STUCK TO. IT'S JUST THE BEST CASE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT BASED ON THE ASSUMPTIONS THAT WE HAVE TODAY. SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THE WATER RATE PLAN ITSELF, THIS IS ON WATER ONLY. YOU SEE HERE THAT YOUR CURRENT THREE QUARTER INCH BASE CHARGE WOULD GO FROM 2456, STAY THAT STAY AT THAT RATE UNTIL APRIL OF 2027, AND IT WOULD GO UP BY JUST UNDER A DOLLAR TO 2554 AND THEN GO UP ROUGHLY A DOLLAR EACH YEAR AFTER THAT. THE VOLUME RATE ALSO WOULD BE INCREASING. THEN AT THAT SAME PERCENTAGE, 537 TO 558 FOR THE FIRST TIER, FIVE, 81, 610 AND YEARS THREE AND FOUR AND 640 FOR YEAR FIVE. I WON'T GO THROUGH ALL OF THESE NUMBERS, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE THE ENTIRE RATE PLAN HERE FOR YOUR TO TAKE A LOOK AT. ON THE WASTEWATER SIDE, THE BASE RATE WOULD GO UP FROM 2554 FOR A THREE QUARTER INCH METER TO 2656, AND THEN AGAIN CONTINUE TO INCREASE AT THE PACE OF ABOUT A DOLLAR A DOLLAR PER MONTH PER ACCOUNT, AND THE VOLUME RATE FROM 637 UP TO 662 IN THE FIRST YEAR. AND BY THE FIFTH YEAR, GO TO 745 ON THE VOLUME SIDE. WATER RATES ARE INTERESTING TO PEOPLE LIKE ME. HOWEVER, WATER BILLS ARE WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO YOUR CUSTOMERS. 
          AND SO WE TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE GOT AN IDEA HERE ABOUT WHAT THIS IMPACT WOULD REALLY LOOK LIKE FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS. WHEN WE LOOK AT A ONE INCH METER, WHICH AGAIN, ARE YOUR, THE, THE, THE, THE METERS THAT HAVE BEEN PLACED WITHIN THE COMMUNITY OVER THE PAST, I DON'T KNOW, 10 OR 12 YEARS OR SO RIGHT NOW FOR A TEN 000 GALLON USER FOR BOTH WATER AND 
          [00:35:01]
WASTEWATER, WHICH IS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT USER, PARTICULARLY ON THE WASTEWATER SIDE. THEY PAY 201 41 FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICES COMBINED FOR THE FIRST RATE INCREASE AGAIN APRIL OF 2027. THAT WOULD GO UP BY $8.06 TO 209 47. AND YOU CAN SEE THERE BY 20 2030, IT WOULD GO UP TO 23753 AS A TOTAL. WE ALSO LOOKED AT ON THIS SLIDE IS MISSING SOME INFORMATION FOR SOME REASON, BUT WE ALSO LOOKED AT THE FORECAST MONTHLY CHARGES, ASSUMING A 5% INCREASE FOR THOSE CITIES THAT WERE SHOWN ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE. I'M NOT SURE WHY I DIDN'T TRANSLATE INTO THIS ONE. AND AGAIN, ASSUMING THAT THE OTHER COMMUNITIES CONTINUE TO INCREASE THEIR RATES AT ABOUT 5%, YOU CAN SEE THIS IS WHERE YOU WOULD ACTUALLY END UP BY THE END OF THIS RATE PLAN 2030. SO EVEN WITH RATE INCREASES IN 2027, EIGHT, NINE AND 2030, YOU CAN SEE THAT YOUR THREE QUARTER INCH METERS ARE STILL ESSENTIALLY MIDDLE OF THE PACK. YOUR ONE INCH METERS ARE IN THE TOP THIRD. GENERALLY SPEAKING OF THE COMPARED TO OTHER CITIES, THREE QUARTER INCH METERS. AND I'M SURE THAT WE'LL GET YOU A SLIDE ON THAT IF IT'S NOT ALREADY INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET WITH THE DETAIL ON IT. WHEN WE LOOK AT YOUR PROJECTED CASH FLOW, AGAIN, WE'VE GOT WHAT WE FEEL LIKE IS A SOLID FINANCIAL PLAN FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, 2026 THROUGH 2030. AND THEN WE'RE SHOWING HIS ESTIMATES. 
          ALL OF THESE ARE ESTIMATES, OBVIOUSLY, BUT THEY'RE LOOSER ESTIMATES 2031 AND BEYOND. AND YOU CAN SEE HERE REALLY HOW THE HOW THE CASH FLOWS BETWEEN THE TOTAL REVENUES, YOUR TOTAL EXPENDITURES, THE OTHER FINANCING SOURCES. AND AGAIN, YOU'LL NOTE THERE $11.1 MILLION OF OTHER FINANCING SOURCES AS A USE IN 2026, GOING DOWN TO ABOUT 1.7 MILLION A YEAR IN THE IN THE OUT YEARS. TOTAL COST OF SERVICE $60 MILLION IN OUR 2026 TEST YEAR, WITH AN END OF YEAR WORKING CAPITAL OR FUND BALANCE OF $19.7 MILLION, WE DO EXPECT THAT YOU'LL BE GROWING YOUR FUND BALANCE AS PART OF THIS. AS YOUR SYSTEM GROWS, YOUR FUND BALANCE NEEDS TO GROW TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU MAINTAIN BOTH YOUR DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE RATIO, AS WELL AS THE NUMBER OF OPERATING DAYS THAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR FUND BALANCE FOR FOR RATING AGENCY PURPOSES AND FOR DISASTER RECOVERY PURPOSES. WITH THAT, BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU'VE GOT. YOU REDO THE RATE STUDY WHENEVER WE ADOPT NEW IMPACT FEES. SO WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, YOU REDO THE STUDY EVERY SINGLE YEAR THAT COMES INTO ACCOUNT. SO THIS IS YES, TELLING US FIVE YEARS FROM NOW. BUT IF WE UPDATE OUR IMPACT FEES 36 MONTHS FROM NOW, THEN IN TURN, THIS RATE STUDY WILL HAVE TO COINCIDE ALONG WITH THAT. YEAH. IF IT'S IF IT'S ONLY IMPACT FEES THAT ARE UPDATED, THAT'S, THAT'S ONE ENTRY WITHIN THIS RATE STUDY. AND SO THAT'S A RELATIVELY EASY TO SIMPLY REFORECAST BASED ON HOW MUCH MONEY WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR IMPACT FROM IMPACT FEES TO PAY FOR CAPITAL. IT CHANGES, YOU KNOW, VERY FEW PORTIONS, ESSENTIALLY, OF THIS MODEL. WE'VE BEEN DOING ANNUAL RATE STUDIES SIMPLY BECAUSE OF HOW DYNAMIC THE COMMUNITY IS NOT ONLY ON IMPACT FEES, BUT GROWTH RATE, TOTAL VOLUME SOLD, ALL OF THAT SORT OF THING. AND SO BECAUSE THE SPEED AT WHICH THIS COMMUNITY MOVES, WE CERTAINLY WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU CONTINUE ON WITH ANNUAL RATE STUDIES, AT LEAST UNTIL THE POINT SOMETIME FAR OUT IN THE FUTURE, WHERE THE COMMUNITY IS STABILIZED FROM A GROWTH PERSPECTIVE. OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OTHER QUESTIONS? NOPE. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR 
          [VI.B. Discussion regarding the development of Ousley Park. (Walsh) ]
YOUR TIME. APPRECIATE IT. OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO ITEM B DISCUSSION REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF ALLESLEY PARK. STEVE. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. TONIGHT WE'LL GO OVER THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS OF ALLESLEY PARK. FROM A LOCATION STANDPOINT, ALLESLEY PARK IS LOCATED IN THE HEART OF SALINA. IT'S ADJACENT TO OKLAHOMA, PRESTON AND JUST SOUTH OF 455. 
          TONIGHT'S AGENDA. WE'LL HAVE A FEW BRIEF UPDATES. WE DO HAVE THREE ITEMS IN WHICH WE ARE SEEKING COUNCIL DIRECTION AND FEEDBACK IN REGARDS SPECIFICALLY TO THE ATHLETIC TRAINING FACILITY, THE PRESS BOX, NAMING OF THE PARKS ADMINISTRATION BUILDING. AND WE'LL CLOSE WITH THE NEXT STEPS OF OZONE PARK. FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW OR WATCHING ON TV, THE SENIOR CENTER IS APPROXIMATELY 4000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING THAT OPENED IN 2023, PROVIDING RECREATION ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS FOR OUR SENIOR POPULATION AGE 65 PLUS, THE PARK ADMINISTRATION BUILDING IS A 14,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING, IN WHICH APPROXIMATELY ONE THIRD OF THAT WILL BE FOR STAFF OFFICES. TWO THIRDS OF THAT WILL BE COMMUNITY PROGRAMING, ARTS AND DANCE CLASSES, FITNESS CLASSES. CONSTRUCTION BEGAN LAST YEAR AND WE'RE PROGRESSING NICELY WITH THAT. THE THIRD MAJOR ELEMENT IS THE DOE BRANCH TRAIL AND STREAM RESTORATION 
          [00:40:01]
PROJECT THAT OUTLINES THE EAST PORTION OF THE PARK. CONSTRUCTION WILL BEGIN THIS MONTH AND WILL BE A 18 MONTH PROJECTED SCHEDULE FOR THE STREAM RESTORATION PROJECT AND THE LAST PROJECT. TWO MONTHS AGO, COUNCIL APPROVED PARK DESIGN PROJECT WITH PARK HILL THAT WILL BE A 12 MONTH DESIGN FOR THE REMAINING 30 ACRES OF THE PARK. AND THEN AFTER THAT, WE ANTICIPATE A 12 TO 15 MONTH CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE. AND THAT WILL WRAP UP IN COMPLETE ALLESLEY PARK. BUT ONE OF THE FIRST ITEMS WE'RE SEEKING FEEDBACK AND DIRECTION FROM IS THE ATHLETIC TRAINING FACILITY TO, TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE ALL SPEAKING ABOUT THE SAME FACILITY. ON THE LEFT IS A FACILITY CIRCLED IN GREEN AND ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, THE IMAGE IS. AS YOU'RE DRIVING EASTBOUND INTO THE PARK ON MAIN STREET. A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ABOUT THE ATHLETIC TRAINING FACILITY. IN JULY OF LAST YEAR, COUNCIL WAS INFORMED THAT PORTIONS OF THIS FACILITY WILL NEED TO BE REMOVED TO SUPPORT THE STREAM RESTORATION PROJECT AND THE CREATION OF A FIRE LANE FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES FOR THE PARKS ADMINISTRATION BUILDING. LATE LAST YEAR, WE COMMISSIONED THROUGH PARK HILL, A STRUCTURAL DESIGN FIRM, TO ANALYZE THE STRUCTURAL AND PROVIDE A STRUCTURAL ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR THIS FACILITY. STAFF RECEIVED THAT REPORT LAST MONTH. TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE ALL AWARE OF THE FIRE LANE. I'LL PROVIDE A COUPLE SLIDES THAT YOU ALL SAW LAST YEAR. THE IMAGE ON THE LEFT IS THE FIRE LANE THAT WILL PROVIDE SERVICES TO THE PARK ADMINISTRATION BUILDING AND CIRCLE AROUND THE ATHLETIC TRAINING FACILITY. IMAGE ON THE RIGHT SHOWS THE OVERLAP WITH THE LIMITS OF CONSTRUCTION OF THE STREAM PROJECT WITH THE ATHLETIC FACILITY, AND THIS IS PERHAPS THE BEST IMAGE. THE PORTIONS OF THE FACILITY SHADED IN RED WILL NEED TO BE REMOVED, LEAVING APPROXIMATELY 7200FT■S FOR THE MAIN STRUCTURE. THAT IS THE THE WHITE STRUCTURE. VISION THAT HAS BEEN SHARED WITH YOU ALL IN THE PAST IS A OPEN PAVILION THAT WILL BE ADJACENT TO THE PARK'S ADMINISTRATION BUILDING. IMAGE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE KIND OF SHOWS THE RENDERINGS. THESE ARE RENDERINGS, NOT ACTUAL DESIGNS OF HOW THESE TWO FACILITIES AND THESE TWO SPACES WOULD INTERACT. AND NOW MOVING ON TO THE STRUCTURAL ASSESSMENT REPORT, I DO WANT TO MENTION THAT WE HAVE MEMBERS FROM OUR CONSULTING TEAM FROM PARK HILL AS WELL AS CROSSLAND. IF YOU ALL HAVE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ON ENGINEERING THAT I'M UNABLE TO ANSWER, WE DO HAVE A TEAM HERE THAT CAN PROVIDE SUPPORT. THE ORIGINAL PURPOSE OF THE ATHLETIC TRAINING FACILITY WAS TO BE AN ENCLOSED DESIGN. IF WE WERE TO OPEN THE FACILITY UP, THAT IS GOING TO REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT STRUCTURAL MODIFICATIONS TO CONVERT THIS INTO AN OPEN PAVILION. POSSIBLE MODIFICATIONS THERE ARE NUMEROUS THAT NEED STILL NEED TO BE ANALYZED, BUT POSSIBLE MODIFICATIONS WOULD INCLUDE X BRACING CABLES. THESE ARE THE IMAGES ON THE RIGHT OF THE RED X'S THAT WOULD PROVIDE ADDITIONAL STRUCTURAL SUPPORT. 
          ANOTHER OPTION THAT COULD BE IMPLEMENTED WOULD BE STEEL PORTAL PORTAL FRAMES, AND THE IMAGE ON THE BLUE REPRESENTS THAT. PLEASE NOTE THAT TEMPORARY BRACING WILL BE REQUIRED TO STABILIZE THE STRUCTURE PRIOR TO REMOVAL OF ANY OF THE WALL PANELS, IN ORDER THAT IN ORDER FOR US TO STABILIZE THE FACILITY, IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE IN ORDER TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION ON THE FIRE LANE, WE'LL NEED TO PEEL BACK DIFFERENT PANELS. AND SO WE WILL NEED TO STABILIZE THAT WITH TEMPORARY BRACING. PRIOR TO THAT POINT, WE ARE PROVIDING TWO OPTIONS FOR COUNCIL TO REVIEW AND PROVIDE DIRECTION. OPTION ONE IS A REMODEL OF THE EXISTING STRUCTURE, AND THE IMAGE ON THE RIGHT IS THE VISION THAT WE'VE ALL SEEN FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. THESE ARE EXAMPLES OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF REINFORCEMENT THAT MIGHT NEED TO BE CONSIDERED AND INSTALLED ON OUR EXISTING FACILITY. YOU CAN SEE THE EX CABLING ON THE RIGHT AND THEN PORTAL FRAMES ON THE WINDOW BAY ON THE FAR RIGHT. PLEASE NOTE THESE ARE EXAMPLES THAT WILL NEED TO BE EVALUATED FURTHER. STAFF WANTED TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF WHAT THESE MIGHT LOOK LIKE FROM A DATA STANDPOINT. OPTION ONE WITH THE REMODELING, THE DESIGN AND ENGINEERING COSTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE $320,000. PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE ARE ROUGH ORDER OF MAGNITUDE COSTS. THEY COULD CHANGE UP OR DOWN, BUT DESIGN AND ENGINEERING WILL BE 320. CONSTRUCTION COSTS WILL BE APPROACHING $870,000 FOR A TOTAL COST FOR REMODEL STRUCTURE APPROACHING $1.2 MILLION. CONSULTANTS HAVE INFORMED US THAT THEY ANTICIPATE THAT ONLY THE MAIN STEEL MEMBERS WOULD BE RETAINED. 
          EVERYTHING ELSE WOULD BE REPLACED WITH NEW STEEL STRUCTURES. THIS OPTION WOULD IMPACT THE START OF THE FIRE LANE AND THUS WOULD IMPACT THE OCCUPANCY OF THE PARKS ADMINISTRATION BUILDING TO APPROXIMATELY JANUARY OF 2027 AT THE EARLIEST. AND ONCE AGAIN, 
          [00:45:06]
WE WOULD NEED TO STABILIZE THE STRUCTURE BEFORE WE COULD BEGIN THE FIRE LANE PROJECT AND END PRODUCT MAY NOT BE A FULLY OPEN SIDED PAVILION. YOU SAW SOME OF THE IMAGES OF EXAMPLES OF THE BRACING THAT MIGHT BE NEEDED FROM A PROCESS AND TIMELINE STANDPOINT. ADDITIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES WILL BE REQUIRED TO DESIGN THE TEMPORARY BRACING. THOSE NUMBERS ARE INCLUDED AND THE NUMBERS THAT YOU SEE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE SLIDE. 
          TEMPORARY BRACING IS ESTIMATED TO BE $10,000 PER MONTH. THAT NUMBER IS INCLUDED IN THE OVERALL COST, AND THEN WE'LL NEED TO HAVE A DESIGN OF THE OVERALL FINAL REMODEL PAVILION THAT WILL NEED TO GO THROUGH THE CITY'S REVIEW AND SUBMITTAL PROCESS. STEEL FABRICATION AND INSTALLATION WILL NEED TO TAKE PLACE, AND THEN AT THAT POINT IN TIME, THE TEMPORARY BRACING CAN BE REMOVED AND THE REMODEL PAVILION CAN BE COMPLETED. OPTION TWO IS TO BUILD A NEW STRUCTURE. DESIGN AND ENGINEERING COSTS ARE APPROACHING $125,000. 
          CONSTRUCTION COSTS ARE SIMILAR TO THE SLIDE BEFORE. AT 865,000, THE TOTAL ESTIMATED COST JUST UNDER $1 MILLION. IF THIS OPTION WERE TO BE SELECTED, THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE FIRE LANE COULD BEGIN IMMEDIATELY WITH A DEMO OF THE EXISTING FACILITY, AND THEREFORE, THE OCCUPANCY OF THE PARKS ADMINISTRATION BUILDING IS PROJECTED TO BE OCTOBER OF 2026. A PAVILION WILL BE RECOMMENDED TO GO IN THE SAME LOCATION AS. THAT IS A GREAT ELEMENT FOR THE PARK. THE NEW STRUCTURE WOULD BE INCORPORATED WITHIN THE DESIGN OF ALLESLEY PARK THAT WE ARE UNDERTAKING AS WE SPEAK. SO OPTIONS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED TOGETHER. OPTION ONE IS APPROACHING 1.2 MILLION. IT DOES DELAY THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE FIRE LANE TO SEPTEMBER, WITH OCCUPANCY OCCUPANCY OF THE PARKS ADMINISTRATION BUILDING TO EARLY NEXT YEAR. OPTION TWO, WHICH IS A NEW PAVILION, IS JUST UNDER $1 MILLION. THE PAVILION NEW PAVILION WILL BE INCORPORATED INTO THE DESIGN OF ALLESLEY PARK DEMO, AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE FIRE LANE COULD BEGIN IMMEDIATELY, AND OCCUPANCY FOR THE PARKS ADMINISTRATION WOULD BE TOWARDS THE END OF THIS YEAR. I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL MIGHT HAVE. FROM A HISTORICAL STANDPOINT, WHAT WITH EITHER OPTION, IT'S GOING TO LOOK BASICALLY THE SAME. 
          IT'S GOING TO BE A STEEL PAVILION WITHOUT ANY WALLS. IS THAT WHAT I'M. NO. THAT IS AN IMPORTANT. THE LOOK AND KYLE, DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT POTENTIAL DESIGN, ADDITIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES WILL BE REQUIRED IF WE REINFORCE. AND KYLE WHO IS WITH PARK HILL, HE'S OUR PRINCIPAL. HE CAN DISCUSS HOW THAT DESIGN MIGHT LOOK. SO, MAYOR. COUNCIL, OUR GOAL WOULD BE TO MAKE IT AN OPEN AIR PAVILION. THE IDEA WOULD BE TO HAVE A PAVILION. 
          YOU SEE MANY OF THE CHURCHES AND PLACES AROUND THE METROPLEX WHERE YOU CAN HAVE ACTIVITIES IN SHADED AREAS. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, ONE OF THE CONDITIONS OF KEEPING THAT BUILDING IS THE STRUCTURAL FRAMING. SO OUR CONSULTANT WHO PROVIDED THE FORENSIC STUDY WILL THEN RECOMMEND EXACTLY WHAT THIS FRAMING WOULD LOOK LIKE. AND THOSE ARE DIFFERENT ITERATIONS OF IT. WE WILL HAVE TO WORK WITH THEM TO UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT WOULD BE REQUIRED PENDING COUNCIL DIRECTION, BEFORE WE COULD ACTUALLY SHOW YOU WHAT THE DESIGN WOULD LOOK LIKE. I GUESS MAYBE I DIDN'T ASK THE QUESTION THE WAY I WANTED TO. AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT'S GOING TO BE OPEN, AND VERY LITTLE OF WHAT WE SEE NOW IS GOING TO BE REMAINING. IF I MIGHT JUST INTERJECT, THE DESIGN OF ALLESLEY PARK IS NOT COMPLETE. THIS IS WHAT HAS BEEN ENVISIONED TO DATE. WE'LL GO THROUGH A FINAL DESIGN PROCESS. THIS COULD BE AN ENCLOSED BUILDING IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WANTED TO DO AS PART OF THE FINAL DESIGN. SO IN THAT INSTANCE IT WOULD LOOK DIFFERENT. BUT IN ANY EVENT, IF IT'S THE CURRENT BUILDING, IT'LL NEED SOME KIND OF STRUCTURAL BRACING IN ORDER TO BE RECEIVE A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY AND BE ABLE TO BE USABLE. SO THE ANSWER IS YES, REGARDLESS ON OPTION 1 OR 2, IF IT'S A IT WOULD END UP BEING AN OPEN AIR PAVILION, INCLUDING OR NOT INCLUDING STRUCTURAL FRAMING, DEPENDING ON HOW YOU GO. I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANYTHING WE COULD DO TO TRY TO KEEP THAT EXISTING STRUCTURE. THERE IS THE PICTURES ON THE RIGHT WHERE YOU'VE GOT THAT RED X AND THEN THE RED HORIZONTAL LINES. IS THAT AN EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING THAT IF WE KEPT THE EXISTING STRUCTURE, THOSE THINGS WOULD BE THERE PERMANENTLY. SO IT WOULDN'T NECESSARILY YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO WALK THROUGH THOSE SPOTS THERE. THAT IS CORRECT. 
          SO EVEN THOUGH IT'S OPEN AIR THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BRACE IT. THOSE ARE TWO DIFFERENT OPTIONS THAT WERE PROVIDED IN THE FORENSIC REPORT. AND WE WOULD NEED TO WORK THROUGH, FROM A DESIGN STANDPOINT, WHAT LOOKS BEST AND WHAT YOU ALL WOULD BE HAPPY WITH AT THE END. YEAH, THAT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT WOULD BE REASONABLE TO HAVE THAT IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER SIMPLY FOR THE SAKE OF STRUCTURE. ARE WE MORE COMFORTABLE WITH KIDS BREAKING THEIR LEGS ON? YEAH, THAT THAT THAT CAN'T BE AN OPTION, AT LEAST IN MY OPINION. HAVING A 
          [00:50:01]
THAT'S NOT OPEN AIR. YOU CAN'T REALLY EVEN WALK THROUGH THERE. IT'S OPEN AIR FOR THE SAKE OF SAYING OPEN AIR. BUT NO, I WOULD FOR THAT REASON ALONE, I WOULD HAVE TO GO WITH OPTION NUMBER TWO. YEAH. AND I'M NOT SEEING AM I MISSING SOMETHING? IS THERE SOME ADVANTAGE ON KEEPING THE OLD ONE? IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S MORE EXPENSIVE AND IT SLOWS THINGS DOWN ON OTHER THINGS. AND THE END OF THE DAY, IT'S JUST IT'S JUST STEEL. AM I MISSING SOMETHING THERE? NO. WE TRY TO PROVIDE COUNCIL WITH OPTIONS OF RESTORING THE EXISTING BUILDING, UNDERSTANDING THE HISTORICAL IMPORTANCE OF IT, AND PROVIDING AN OPTION OF WHAT A NEW FACILITY WOULD BE. THAT'S THE KEY IS THE HISTORICAL THE HISTORICAL RELEVANCE OF THAT BUILDING THERE. BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE MUCH OF IT LEFT. LOOK AT ALL WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE THESE. THAT LOOKS LIKE A SAFETY HAZARD TO ME. SO THAT WOULD BE MY ONLY CONCERN. THAT'S WHY I WANT TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE IF WE WERE ABLE TO KEEP THAT HISTORICAL BUILDING THERE IN THAT PARK. IF IF IT IF IT WAS NEW, WOULD YOU STILL NEED THIS KIND OF BRACING THAT WE'RE SEEING HERE OR YOU WOULDN'T NEED IT BECAUSE IT'S ENGINEERED CORRECTLY? NO, A NEW STRUCTURE WOULD BE COULD BE SIMILAR TO WHAT IS ON THE RIGHT WITHOUT THE RED LINES AND THE REINFORCED BRACING. IT WOULD BE BUILT FROM THE BEGINNING TO BE AN OPEN AIR, OPEN SIDED. OKAY, SO JUST TO MAKE SURE I GET IT STRAIGHT. SO IF WE USE THE EXISTING THAT'S THERE, THEN AND IT'S AND IT'S OPEN AIR, THEN WE'D ALSO HAVE THE BRACING THAT WE'RE SEEING ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE TO HELP HOLD IT UP. RIGHT. THAT WOULD AND ON THE RIGHT WOULD BE AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THE EXISTING BUILDING WOULD LOOK LIKE. OKAY. AND THEN OPTION TWO, IF IT'S ALL BRAND NEW, THEN THIS BRACING WOULD NOT BE THERE. OPTION TWO WOULD BE SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU SEE HERE. OKAY. THAT'S EXPENSIVE. YEAH. LIKE OPTION TWO BETTER. A ROUGH ORDER OF MAGNITUDE COST IS LESS THAN WHAT IS. I'M TRYING TO THINK I WANT TO I MEAN, I THINK COUNCILMAN GRUMBLES PROBABLY KNOWS MORE ABOUT THE HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE THAN THE REST OF US COMBINED. I WOULD SAY PROBABLY YOU PROBABLY USED THAT FACILITY, RIGHT? SO IT PROBABLY MEANS A WHOLE LOT TO YOU. WHAT WHAT IS THE SAFETY ASPECT I'M THINKING ABOUT? WHEN WE BUILD THESE PROJECTS, WE'RE BUILDING THEM TO 50 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD. SO IN TURN, IS THIS SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO REQUIRE CONTINUAL MAINTENANCE BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE BAND AIDING THE EXISTING STRUCTURE? LIKE WHAT IS THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY? IF WE IN TURN SAY, OKAY, THIS BUILDING IS WORTH IT TO SPEND THE EXTRA DOLLARS AND IN TURN, WE WANT TO DO THAT. IS THERE A WAY TO GO IN WITH SOME TYPE OF LIKE SISTER JOIST AND NEXT TO IT AND NOT GO WITH THESE CABLE? AND THEN WE'RE JUST BUILDING A DUPLICATE STRUCTURE NEXT TO THE EXISTING STRUCTURE. BUT THEN I GUESS I WOULD HAVE TO LEAN ON BRANDON FOR THAT. DOES THAT IN TURN, THEN RUIN WHAT IS THERE TODAY SO THAT WE DON'T END UP WITH THE EXISTING LOOK? I GUESS, CAN YOU JUST ADDRESS THE SAFETY ASPECT OF IT? OF WHAT? HOW LONG DO YOU THINK THIS COULD LAST IN ITS EXISTING FORM? IF WE TRY AND SAVE IT? LET ME I'M GOING TO THINK THROUGH. SO. YES, SIR. 
          FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT THE BUILDING IS FINE TODAY, HOWEVER, BECAUSE IT IS A PRE-ENGINEERED METAL BUILDING. THE MOMENT YOU CHANGE, THE USE WHICH WE ARE DOING TODAY CHANGES THE ENTIRE DESIGN INTENT AND THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY THAT ESSENTIALLY IS THE CONCERN. SO THE MOMENT WE TAKE THE WALLS OFF, THAT IS WHY THE WIND UPLIFT AND LOAD CHANGES EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT BUILDING. SO THAT'S WHY THE ADDITIONAL STRUCTURE, THE ADDITIONAL BRACING AND STRUCTURAL MEMBERS ARE NEEDED. THE MOMENT WE ALSO OPEN IT UP, YOU'RE 100% CORRECT. 
          THERE'S RUST AND CORROSION AND OTHER ITEMS THAT MIGHT BE IN. WE MIGHT HAVE TO FACTOR IN. WE KNOW THAT THE SLAB IS AT A CONDITION THAT WE NEED TO GO IN AND POTENTIALLY REFURBISH THAT AS WELL, BECAUSE IT'S NOT USED TO BEING OUTSIDE. SO THERE ARE ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION AS WE MOVE INTO DESIGN TO MAINTAIN THAT STRUCTURE IT IS TODAY. SO THAT'S WHERE SOME OF THE UNFORESEEN ARE COMING INTO PLAY WITH OUR DESIGN COST. SO IF YOU DID A WHOLE NEW DESIGN ON IT THOUGH, WOULD IT WOULD IT LOOK WOULD IT KIND OF PAY LIKE AN HOMAGE TO THE EXISTING DESIGN? IT WILL LOOK KIND OF THE SAME. 
          OR IS THERE NOT A WAY TO GO IN HERE AND LOOK AT SOME OF THESE I-BEAMS THAT COULD HAVE THIS POSSIBLE RUST OR CORROSION, MAYBE JUST REPLACING SOME OF THESE SPECIFIC I-BEAMS? SO YES, SIR, THAT WOULD BE OUR GOAL IS WITH BRAND NEW. WE HOPE THAT WE CAN DESIGN IT TO WHAT YOU WERE EXPECTING. AND WITH IT BEING BRAND NEW, WE CAN DO A BRAND NEW SLAB. WE CAN PUT OTHER THINGS IN TO COMMEMORATE WHAT IT ONCE WAS, AS IT IS TODAY WITH THAT SLAB. WE CAN'T DO THINGS LIKE THAT. SO THAT IS ONE OF OUR CONCERNS. AND WE'RE TALKING WITH STEVE AND HIS TEAM AND KIM AND CARLA, THAT WE FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO BRING TO YOU ALL FOR CONSIDERATION, THAT WE DON'T FEEL LIKE OPTION ONE MEETS WHAT YOU WERE EXPECTING, WHICH WAS OUR GREATEST CONCERN. 
          BUT OPTION TWO, WE'RE ABLE TO TAKE YOUR FEEDBACK, PROVIDE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS THAT ALIGN WITH YOUR EXPECTATIONS. BRANDON. WHAT IF, LIKE IN THE IF IT'S A, IF YOU GO TO OPTION TWO AND IT'S A NEW SLAB, LIKE IN A CONCRETE, YOU CAN KIND OF DO YOU KNOW THE I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S CALLED. YOU KNOW, YOU GOT A PICTURE MADE OUT OF THE CONCRETE THAT'S KIND OF STAMPED 
          [00:55:04]
IN THERE, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. JUST TO COMMEMORATE THE SITE. YEAH, I DON'T KNOW, I GUESS MY I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT. IT WOULD LOOK NICE, BUT I GUESS MY CONCERN IS THAT WHENEVER ALLESLEY PARK WAS PITCHED TO THE PUBLIC, IT WAS PITCHED IN A WAY THAT THE WHAT THE LEGACY THAT'S IN THAT AREA WAS WOULD STAY THERE. IT WOULD ALL KIND OF STAY THE SAME. IT WOULD DO WHATEVER WE COULD TO MAKE IT, MAKE IT JUST LOOK LIKE IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN. AND SO FAR, IT'S I MEAN, EVERYTHING'S GETTING CHANGED. SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE MY CONCERN IS ON, ON THE PARK. THAT PARTICULAR PART OF ASHLEY PARK, I DON'T KNOW, I LOOKING AT THE LOOKING AT THE DESIGNS, I GET IT, I GET THAT OPTION TWO IS IT LOOKS BETTER. IT MIGHT EVEN BE SAFER. BUT IF THERE WAS ANY WAY THAT WE COULD JUST REPLACE SOME OF THESE BEAMS, DO SOMETHING. I MEAN, EVEN REPLACING SOME OF THE CONCRETE UNDER THERE, I'M SURE IT'S GOING TO BE DONE ANYWAYS, BUT JUST TRYING TO KEEP IT, TRYING TO KEEP THE LEGACY THERE AS MUCH AS WE CAN. I'D LIKE THE IDEA OF, AS I'VE STATED, OPTION TWO, IF IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, PAYING HOMAGE TO THE HISTORY, IT IS THERE BECAUSE IN MY OPINION, OVERALL, THIS PARK WILL BE ONE OF THE CROWN JEWELS OF THE CITY. AND YOU KNOW THAT WHEN YOU'RE DEVELOPING IT AND IT DOES FEEL LIKE IT WILL NOT BE AS BEAUTIFUL AS IT COULD BE. IF WE'RE TRYING TO CONTINUE TO PUT BAND-AIDS ON AN OLD BUILDING THAT LOOKS I MEAN, WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT LOOKS PRETTY RIDICULOUS AS IS. AND SO BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND WHERE MR. GRUMBLES IS COMING FROM. AND SO MY OPINION IS IF WE CAN ATTEMPT TO PAY HOMAGE TO THE HISTORY THERE WHILE STILL LOOKING FORWARD TO A BRAND NEW, BEAUTIFUL PROJECT, THAT WOULD BE IDEAL. AND I REALIZE I'M ASKING A LOT, BUT THAT WOULD BE MY OPINION FOR CLARITY. OPTION ONE AND OPTION TWO BEING PRESENTED TODAY. NEITHER ONE LOOK LIKE WHAT'S THERE RIGHT NOW, RIGHT? CORRECT. SO BRANDON WOULD BE AN OPTION THREE TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S RESTORED. AND NO, THESE TWO OPTIONS, NEITHER ONE OF THEM IS GOING TO PAY OFF. NO. WE'VE ALWAYS LIKED THE OPEN AIR CONCEPT. THAT WAS KIND OF THE WHOLE THE WHOLE POINT OF THAT, THAT PARTICULAR BUILDING. BUT JUST COMPLETELY TEARING IT DOWN. I MEAN, THAT'S I'M JUST AGAINST THAT. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE AGAINST THAT, BUT I'M AGAINST THAT JUST BECAUSE THERE'S THERE'S A LOT OF HISTORY THERE. THERE'S A LOT OF LEGACY THERE. AND SO I JUST, I DON'T WANT TO START TEARING DOWN EVERYTHING THAT KIND OF BUILT SALINA. STAFF IS LOOKING FOR DIRECTION. I'VE HEARD A FEW ON OPTION TWO WITH A WAY TO PAY HOMAGE. AND I KNOW THAT THAT BRANDON WOULD PREFER THAT WE KEEP THE EXISTING STRUCTURE. THE. THE OPTION TWO WITH KEEPING AS MUCH OF THE LEGACY ALIVE, HOWEVER, THAT MAY LOOK SEEMS LIKE THE MOST RECENT. 
          THAT IS THAT GENERALLY KIND OF LOOKING AT HEADS NODDING IS THAT I'M KIND OF JUST THINKING THROUGH IT, I. I DON'T KNOW, I KIND OF ALWAYS LOOK TO BRANDON ON THIS ONE AND JUST, AND I DON'T MEAN TO THE WHOLE POINT OF WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ON THE LEGACY SIDE FOR, FOR THAT AREA, I JUST TRY TO THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT PAYING HOMAGE, I THINK IN TURN, IS THERE GOING TO BE A WALL WITH WITH BATHROOMS BEHIND IT? IN TURN, COULD WE PUT LIKE WHAT THE EXISTING STRUCTURE WAS AND DO A MURAL TO, TO WHAT WAS THERE EXISTING? I THINK TO ANDY'S POINT, IT'S NOT EVEN ANY IT'S NOT GOING TO LOOK ANYTHING LIKE WHAT IT DOES TODAY. SO EITHER WAY, WE'RE DRAMATICALLY CHANGING IT. SO I GUESS IF YOU NEED ME TO PICK ONE, I GUESS I'D GO WITH OPTION TWO. JUST BECAUSE WE'RE ALREADY CHANGING THE BUILDING'S USE. AND JUST FOR THE SAFETY ASPECT OF IT, THE ONLY THING I WOULD RECOMMEND IS IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO WITH OPTION TWO, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REALLY COMMUNICATE THAT WELL WITH THE CITIZENS. I MEAN, WE WE ALREADY SAW THE BACKLASH FROM WHEN THE BLEACHERS WENT DOWN AND WE SAW THE BACKLASH FROM WHEN THE CONCESSION STAND AND THE ORIGINAL WHITE ROOM WENT DOWN. 
          SO NOW YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AN EVEN BIGGER BUILDING WITH A BIGGER IMPACT. SO BECAUSE I MEAN, THOSE BLEACHERS WEREN'T EVEN THE ORIGINAL BLEACHERS. THOSE WERE ADDED ON IN THE 90S OR SOMETHING. TANYA KING'S HERE. SHE'S NODDING HER HEAD. SO I WOULD JUST IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO WITH OPTION TWO, WHICH I'M AGAINST, BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO WITH OPTION TWO, YOU'VE REALLY GOT TO COMMUNICATE THAT EXTREMELY WELL WITH THE PUBLIC AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON AND WHY IT'S HAPPENING AND THAT I WAS AGAINST IT. THANKS. THANK YOU. YOU HAVE WHAT YOU NEED, I BELIEVE I DO. OKAY. THANK YOU. SECOND ITEM FOR DISCUSSION IS SEEKING COUNCIL DIRECTION AND FEEDBACK. IS THE PRESS BOX A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND. IN FEBRUARY OF 2025, THE BLEACHERS WERE REMOVED DUE TO SUBSTANDARD CONDITION AND THEREFORE THE PRESS BOX WAS GROUNDED DUE TO STRUCTURAL INSTABILITY IN 2025. EXCUSE ME, IN THE SUMMER OF 2025, COUNCIL 
          [01:00:04]
DIRECTED STAFF TO RESEARCH REFURBISHMENT OPTIONS FOR THE ORIGINAL PRESS BOX. FOR HISTORICAL RECOGNITION PURPOSES. WE HAVE COMMUNICATED AND WORKED WITH TWO DIFFERENT STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS AND ANALYZED THE PRESS BOX. NEITHER OF THE STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS WOULD ASSUME THE RISK OF PROVIDING ENGINEERING SERVICES TO RERAISE THE EXISTING PRESS BOX. BOTH CITED CONCERNS WITH STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY AND DETERIORATION OF EXISTING MATERIALS. WE HAVE TWO OPTIONS THAT WE'D LIKE TO PRESENT TO COUNCIL AND GET FEEDBACK ON. ONE IS TO REMODEL AND RELOCATE THE EXISTING STRUCTURE SOMEWHERE ELSE WITHIN THE PARK. THIS WOULD BE A REMODEL FOR MONUMENTAL PURPOSES ONLY. THIS WOULD BE GROUNDED SOMEWHERE WITHIN THE PARK. THE COST FOR REFURBISHMENT IS ABOUT $100,000 AND DEPENDING WHERE WE RELOCATE THIS IN THE PARK, RELOCATION FEES COULD BE 20 TO $50,000 ON THE HIGH END. IF WE WERE TO MOVE THAT HYPOTHETICALLY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CREEK, OR IF WE NEED TO PUT THIS ON ROADWAYS, THERE COULD BE SOME CHALLENGES WITH POWER LINES AND TRAFFIC SIGNALS. THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE IN THE COSTS. OPTION TWO IS TO PURCHASE A NEW PRESS BOX. THE VENDOR CAN REPLICATE A NEAR PERFECT MATCH OF THE EXISTING STRUCTURE. THIS WOULD HAVE THE CURRENT AND ENGINEERING, CURRENT DESIGN AND ENGINEERING STANDARDS, BUT PRESS BOX COULD BE POSITIONED BACK IN ITS PREVIOUS LOCATION, WHICH IS RAISED IN THE CENTER OF THE BLEACHERS, AND ESTIMATED COST FOR A NEW PRESS BOX WOULD BE $215,000. SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON OF OPTION ONE REMODEL AND RELOCATE WITHIN THE PARK. THE STRUCTURE WOULD NEED TO BE PUT ON THE GROUND, ON FOUNDATION AND THE FINAL LOCATION. WE TAKE FEEDBACK FROM COUNCIL CHALLENGE PARK HILL FROM A DESIGN STANDPOINT, AND ONCE AGAIN, DEPENDING ON WHERE IT WOULD GO WITHIN THE PARK, WOULD BE 120,000 TO APPROXIMATELY $150,000. AND IT WOULD BE A IT WOULD NOT BE A WORKING PRESS BOX. OPTION TWO IS A NEW PRESS BOX WOULD BE A NEAR PERFECT MATCH PLACED IN THE PREVIOUS LOCATION IN THE CENTER OF THE BLEACHERS, AT A COST OF $215,000, AND SEEKING COUNCIL DIRECTION AND FEEDBACK, I'M GOING TO LOOK AT BRANDON AGAIN AND REMODEL AND RELOCATE WITHIN THE PARK. MAKE IT A MONUMENT, NOT EVEN TRY TO MAKE IT A MONUMENT SOMEHOW WITH ASSOCIATED WITH PAT AND PAT HUNT AND DONALD HAMM SOMEHOW GET GET THEM INVOLVED IN NOT GET THEM ON THERE SOMEHOW. OKAY, I CHOOSE OPTION ONE AND BRANDON GETS TO CHOOSE WHERE IT'S RELOCATED WITHIN THE PARK. OPTION ONE. THANK YOU. THIRD ITEM IS NAMING OF THE PARKS ADMINISTRATION. BUILDING STAFF HAS WORKED TO COME UP WITH A COUPLE DIFFERENT NAMES, AND SO WE'D LIKE TO GET COUNCIL'S FEEDBACK ON OFFICIALLY NAMING THE PARKS ADMINISTRATION BUILDING TO THE CLUBHOUSE AT ALLESLEY PARK. WHILE THIS IS NOT A GOLF COURSE, A CLUBHOUSE IS A SYMBOL OF A GOLF COURSE. THIS WILL BE A SYMBOL OF THE MAIN ENTRY WITH AN ALLESLEY PARK AND IT'S 30 ACRES. DO YOU WANT TO UPDATE YOU THAT WE DO NOT HAVE PLANS TO CREATE A SEPARATE LOGO? WE WILL CONTINUE TO USE THE CITY LOGO, BUT THIS NAME WILL BE USED FOR WAYFINDING, DIRECTIONAL WEBSITE AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. AGAIN, STAFF OFFICES ARE LOCATED IN THIS FACILITY, BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE SPACE IS DEDICATED FOR COMMUNITY PROGRAMING. PEOPLE ARE MORE LIKELY TO ATTEND PROGRAMS IF A FACILITY HAS AN INVITING NAME. 
          ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES IS NOT SUCH AN EXCITING, INVITING NAME. THIS ITEM WAS PRESENTED TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD AND THEY WERE SUPPORTIVE OF THIS. THIS IDEA IN THIS NAME. I MEAN, IF GRUMBLES OFFICE BUILDING ALLESLEY PARK IS OUT OF THE QUESTION. I GUESS CLUBHOUSE IS THEN. YOU GET BRANDON. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. AND LASTLY, NEXT STEPS. WE WILL INCORPORATE TONIGHT'S DIRECTION. WE DO HAVE UPCOMING UPCOMING PUBLIC MEETINGS, SEVERAL OF THEM. WE HAD ONE LAST NIGHT FOR THE TRAIL AND STREAM RESTORATION PROJECT. AND WE ARE TAKING THE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD ON A TOUR TO REGIONAL PARKS THIS SATURDAY SO THEY CAN SEE DIFFERENT DESIGN ELEMENTS THAT THEY LIKE. AND EQUALLY IMPORTANT, MAYBE SOME DESIGN ELEMENTS THAT THEY DO NOT LIKE. IN THE FUTURE WE'LL HAVE OZONE PARK SCHEMATIC DESIGN SCHEDULE ANTICIPATES THAT WILL TAKE THAT TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD IN JUNE AND COME TO COUNCIL IN JULY. PART OF THIS PROJECT IS ALSO THE REDEVELOPMENT OF ARKANSAS STREET. WE WILL FINALIZE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PARK ADMINISTRATION BUILDING FIRE LANE CONSTRUCTION AFTER TONIGHT'S MEETING CAN COMMENCE, THE TRAIL AND STREAM RESTORATION PROJECT WILL BEGIN NEXT MONDAY. INSTALLATION OF THE BLEACHERS WILL BE THIS WINTER AND WE ARE IN THE BEGINNING STAGES OF THE DESIGN PROCESS WITH PARK HILL FOR ALLESLEY PARK. AGAIN, THIS IS THE REMAINING 30 ACRES AND THAT'LL TAKE A 12 MONTH PROCESS AND WE ANTICIPATE BRINGING THE NEXT STEP TO YOU ALL LATE SUMMER, WHICH WOULD BE SCHEMATIC DESIGN OPTIONS. BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. THAT'S THAT'S THE END OF THE PRESENTATION. ANY IDEA YET ON THE SIGNS THAT ARE OUT THERE 
          [01:05:05]
RIGHT NOW FROM THE QUARTERBACK CLUB ON MAYBE GETTING THOSE RENOVATED AND PUTTING UP SOMEWHERE. ANY IDEA ON WHERE THOSE MIGHT GO? WE TALKED ABOUT, I BELIEVE LAST YEAR ON THE SOUTH END ZONE, NEXT TO THE TRAIL AND FLANKING THE SCOREBOARD. THANKS, STEVE. OKAY, 
          [VII. OPEN FORUM]
WE ARE GOING TO MOVE INTO OPEN FORUM. OPEN FORUM IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY. IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK, PLEASE SIGN ONE OF THESE SPEAKER CARDS. THEY'RE LOCATED IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM AND PRESENT TO THE CITY SECRETARY. PRIOR TO THE BEGINNING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING, SPEAKERS ARE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES. THE COUNCIL CAN TAKE NO ACTION, NO CHARGES AND OR COMPLAINTS WILL BE HEARD AGAINST ANY ELECTED OFFICIAL OR EMPLOYEE OF THE CITY THAT ARE PROHIBITED BY LAW. PLEASE NOTE ANYONE WISHING TO FURNISH THE CITY COUNCIL WITH COPIES OR HANDOUTS REGARDING THEIR ITEM OF INTEREST MUST PROVIDE NINE COPIES AND PRESENT THEM TO THE CITY SECRETARY FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE CITY COUNCIL. I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN OPEN FORUM AND NICK OGILVIE. IF YOU CAN JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND THEN YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. 
          NICK OGILVIE 6202 PRIVATE ROAD 902, SALINA, TEXAS. AND I WENT AHEAD AND TYPED THIS UP BECAUSE I KNOW I CAN'T KEEP IT UNDER THREE MINUTES. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNCIL. MY NAME IS NICK OGILVIE AND I'M HERE TONIGHT REGARDING THE PROPERTY AT 308 WEST MAIN STREET. I WANT TO START BY SAYING THAT I RESPECT THE CITY OF SALINA. I RESPECT THE PROCESS AND I'M NOT HERE TO ATTACK ANYONE. I AM HERE BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE HOMEOWNER, A HOMEOWNER AND CONTRACTOR, SHOULD BE ABLE TO RELY ON THE CITY'S PERMITTING SYSTEM WHEN IT SHOWS THAT A PERMIT HAS BEEN ACCEPTED AND FEES HAVE BEEN PAID FOR. THIS PROJECT WE SUBMITTED THROUGH THE CITY'S PERMIT SYSTEM. THE APPLICATION CLEARLY STATED THAT THE EXISTING SOD WAS BEING REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH ARTIFICIAL TURF SYSTEM. THIS WAS NOT HIDDEN. IT WAS NOT MISREPRESENTED. IT WAS DISCLOSED IN THE APPLICATION. THE SYSTEM SHOWED THE PERMIT AS ACCEPTED. IT SHOWED GREEN INDICATORS. IT. IT PROMPTED PAYMENT. THE REQUIRED FEE WERE TO PAY THE CITY FROM OUR SIDE AND I BELIEVE FROM ANY REASONABLE PERSON SIDE, THAT MEANS THE CITY HAD ACCEPTED THE APPLICATION AND ALLOWED THE PROJECT TO MOVE FORWARD AFTER THE INSTALLATION WAS COMPLETED. WE WERE THEN TOLD THAT THE TURF HAD TO BE REMOVED. I LATER MET WITH THE PERMIT DEPARTMENT AND DURING THAT MEETING, THE CITY STAFF ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE WAS CONFUSION AND AN ERROR WAS IN THE SYSTEM. THEY ADMITTED THAT THE WAY THE SYSTEM SHOWED THE PERMIT COULD REASONABLY LEAD SOMEONE TO BELIEVE THAT THEY WERE APPROVED TO PROCEED, BUT INSTEAD RECOGNIZING THAT THIS WAS A CITY SISTER CITY SYSTEM FAILURE. I WAS TREATED LIKE I WAS BEING DISHONEST. I WAS ESSENTIALLY TOLD TO BRING MY LAPTOP IN SO THEY COULD SEE WHETHER I WAS TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT THE SYSTEM SHOWED ME. THAT IS A VERY FRUSTRATING POSITION TO BE PUT IN. WHEN I FOLLOWED THE PROCESS, DISCLOSED THE SCOPE OF WORK, PAID THE CITY'S FEES, RELIED ON THE CITY'S OWN PERMIT PORTAL. I AM NOT ASKING THE COUNCIL TO IGNORE CITY ORDINANCES. I AM ASKING THIS COUNCIL TO LOOK AT THE FACTS AND ASK WHETHER IT IS FAIR TO FORCE A HOMEOWNER TO RIP OUT A COMPLETED PROJECT WITHIN THE CITY'S OWN SYSTEM THAT SHOWED THE PERMIT AS ACCEPTED, AND CITY STAFF LATER ACKNOWLEDGED THERE WAS AN ISSUE. 
          THIS PROPERTY ALSO HAS UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES, LIKE MANY DOWNTOWN YARDS DO. THE YARD HAD DRAINAGE ISSUES. THE TURF SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED AND EXCAVATED WITH A ROCK BASED DRAINAGE IN MIND. STERILIZE THE YARD. THIS WAS NOT JUST LAID OVER DIRT, IT WAS DESIGNED TO IMPROVE THE PROPERTY, REDUCE WATER USE, WHICH IS A BIG PROBLEM HERE IN THE CITY, AND CREATE A CLEANER, MORE MANAGEABLE YARD. SALINA PROMOTES ITSELF AS A CITY THAT VALUES INNOVATION, WATER CONSERVATION, RESPONSIBLE GROWTH, AND COMMON SENSE SOLUTIONS. ARTIFICIAL TURF IS ALREADY BEING USED IN CITY SPACES, PARKS, ATHLETIC FIELDS, COMMERCIAL AREAS AND OTHER PROPERTIES THAT IT. THREE MINUTES. YES, SIR. MAN, THAT WAS OKAY. WELL, THE YARD DID SAVE OVER 300,000 GALLONS OF WATER PER YEAR. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS JEB HONEYMAN. YOU CAN STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. SIR JEB HONEYMAN, 308 WEST MAIN STREET, CELINA, TEXAS. MY WIFE AND I ARE THE HOMEOWNERS OF THE HOUSE THAT NICK WAS SPEAKING OF, AND WE WANT TO MAKE CLEAR THAT WE DID NOT TRY TO HIDE ANYTHING FROM THE CITY. WE MOVED HERE, MOVED BACK HERE NOT TOO LONG AGO, AND WE WERE. WE'VE UNDERTAKEN MANY PROJECTS ON THE HOUSE AND WE HAVE ONE RULE. THAT IS, IF A PERMIT IS 
          [01:10:01]
REQUIRED, A PERMIT. WE EXPECT A PERMIT TO BE TAKEN OUT. NICK WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS, TOLD US THAT THAT HE HAD A PERMIT. WE BELIEVE THAT AND WE WENT FORWARD. WE'VE DONE THIS WITH A COUPLE OTHER PROJECTS. AND THE PROBLEM IS, IS WE'VE HAD SIMILAR LEVELS OF CONFUSION WITH THOSE PROJECTS. SO THAT I THINK IT IT'S IMPORTANT FOR ME TO STATE THE NEXT PROJECT WE DID, WHICH WAS A GENERATOR PROJECT WE RECEIVED RANDOMLY A EMAIL FROM, FROM THE, FROM THE CITY SYSTEM STATING THAT OUR PLAN HAD BEEN APPROVED. THAT'S THE ONLY EMAIL WE RECEIVED THROUGHOUT ANY OF THE PERMITTING PROCESSES WE'VE GONE THROUGH. AND THEN I GOT A CALL FROM THE CONTRACTOR WHO SAID, HEY, WE HAVE A PERMIT, WE'RE READY TO GO. AND I SAID, I'VE PLAYED THIS GAME BEFORE. I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS AGAIN. SO I CALLED THE CITY AND THEY SAID, NO, YOU DO NOT HAVE A PERMIT. I CALLED BACK THE CONTRACTOR. THEY SAID, YES, I DO HAVE A PERMIT AND I'LL SEND IT TO YOU RIGHT NOW, WHICH THEY DID. I CALLED THE CITY BACK AGAIN. 
          THIS PERSON I SPOKE TO SAID, YOU ABSOLUTELY DO NOT HAVE A PERMIT. AND THEN HE WENT AND LOOKED. OH, I'M SORRY. YOU DO IN FACT, HAVE A PERMIT, WHICH UNDERSCORES SOME OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE PERMITTING SYSTEM, WHICH UNDERSCORES HOW CONFUSING IT CAN BE FOR CONTRACTORS AND HOMEOWNERS TO DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO WITH THE CITY WE WANT. I THINK FOR THE MOST PART, EVERYONE WANTS TO WORK WITH THE CITY TO DO THINGS THE RIGHT WAY. WE CERTAINLY DO. 
          WE HAD A THIRD PROJECT WHERE A AN INSPECTOR CAME OUT UNANNOUNCED TO EITHER ME OR THE. 
          OR THE CONTRACTOR WAS LOOKING FOR THE FENCE HE WAS TO INSPECT WHEN ACROSS THE STREET TO. THE NEIGHBOR ASKED HER WHERE THE FENCE WAS THAT HE WAS TO INSPECT AND COULD NOT LOCATE IT. 
          SO WE HAD TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF RE DOING THAT INSPECTION. SO THERE ARE THERE ARE FRUSTRATIONS WITH THIS. IT'S A VERY, VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION FOR US. WE DON'T WANT WE NEVER ASKED FOR THIS TO BE A PROBLEM. WE. WE DO WANT TO ASK THE COUNCIL TO COME UP WITH REASONABLE SOLUTIONS FOR US. THERE'S TEN YEARS, A TEN YEAR STERILIZING AGENT ON THE ON THE GRASS. THE GRASS WILL NOT GROW FOR TEN YEARS. WE PULL THAT TURF OUT. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MUD FOR TEN YEARS. SO WE WE DO WANT TO WORK WITH THE CITY. PULLING OUT THE TURF IS NOT AN OPTION. THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES WITH PERMITTING. AND WE JUST HOPE THAT THE CITY CAN WORK WITH US. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.

          I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER A RESOLUTION OR AN ATTEMPT TO HELP THE CITY WITH THE COMMUNICATION ABOUT THE ROAD CLOSURES. IF WE COULD PUT OUT MAYBE SIGNAGE THAT THE ROAD'S GOING TO BE CLOSED SO THAT IT'S NOT A SURPRISE FOR THEM, AS THEY'RE TRYING TO GET OUT OF TOWN TO GET TO WORK ON TIME OR GET TO SCHOOL. IF WE COULD PUT MAP OUT, YOU KNOW, HEY, WE CAN'T START THIS PROJECT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THAT TRAPS TOO MANY OF OUR COMMUTERS IN TOWN AND FINDING DIFFERENT WAYS WITHOUT PLENTY OF HEAD WAY KNOWLEDGE OF IT HAPPENING. AND I KNOW YOU COMMUNICATE SO WELL THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA, BUT THAT'S USUALLY ONLY A WEEK BEFORE, AND IT DOESN'T GIVE THE TRUE IMPACT OF WHAT THAT MAY CAUSE. WE'VE REALIZED THAT AT SCHOOL, JUST WITH BUSSES TRYING TO GET OFF THEIR ROUTES AND GET UP TO PICK UP OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLERS THAT WERE REALLY ANXIOUS TO GET HOME. ALSO, JUST TO GIVE AN EXAMPLE, LAST SUMMER I GOT TRAPPED IN TOWN. I JUST WORKED THREE MILES NORTH. THAT'S WHEN BUSINESS 29 NORTH LOUISIANA, WAS SHUT DOWN TO FIX SOMETHING THAT HAD WASHED OUT. THEN I GO STRAIGHT DOWN ASH STREET TO GET ON TO PRESTON ROAD 289. I LEARNED THAT YOU HAVE TO USE BOTH NAMES FOR THESE PLACES THIS WEEK, AND I CAN'T BECAUSE SOUTHBOUND PRESS BUSINESS 289 IS GOT ONE LANE DOWN, SO PEOPLE ARE BAILING THERE AND COMING BACK NORTH. EASTBOUND HAS BEEN SHUT OFF WITHOUT VERY MUCH NOTICE. 
          SO IT TOOK ME TEN MINUTES FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS JUST TO GET OUT FROM MY HOUSE TO MOORE

GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD. I DON'T KNOW WHO'S IN CHARGE OF LETTING T ENCORE KNOW, BUT BECAUSE OF TRANSFORMER BLOWS DOWN HERE SHOULDN'T BE IMPACTING ME. AT 212 WEST ASH AND ON DOWN ASH. SO IT DID COME BACK ON RATHER QUICKLY, BUT AT THE SAME TIME. OKAY, OKAY. THANK YOU. AND JUST AS A SIDE NOTE, WE NEED A NEW PRESS BOX AT THAT FIELD AND THE OLD ONE RESTORED BECAUSE THAT FIELD IS GOING TO BE USED AND IS ALREADY BEING USED FOR SEVEN ON SEVEN. AND YOU NEED ANNOUNCEMENTS THERE. JUST LITTLE INPUT. THANK YOU. OKAY. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK? THAT'S ALL THE SPEAKER CARDS THAT I HAVE.

TO MOVE TO PUBLIC HEARING OR ACTION ITEMS. ACTION ITEM A IS CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR AN ASSEMBLY. OTHER USE ON AN APPROXIMATELY 0.24 ACRE PORTION OF AN OVERALL FOUR ACRE TRACT, GENERALLY LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 890FT NORTH OF FRONTIER PARKWAY AND 850FT EAST OF PRESTON ROAD WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS FOR PRESTON CORNER.

THE STAR REPRESENTS THE PROPERTY GENERALLY IN THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF OUR ULTIMATE BOUNDARY. AND THEN MORE SPECIFICALLY SHOWN HERE GENERALLY AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF PRESTON AND FRONTIER. SO AS A QUICK BACKGROUND, THIS PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY 0.24 ACRES. THAT'S JUST THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF BUILDING THREE. AND IT IS PART OF AN OVERALL FOUR ACRE TRACT THAT IS WITHIN OUR CITY LIMITS. THIS ENTIRE PROPERTY IS ZONED COMMERCIAL, AND THE APPLICANT WANTS TO OPEN AN EVENT CENTER. THE SURROUNDING BUILDINGS THAT ARE PART OF THE OVERALL TRACT ARE ALL LIKE RETAIL, RESTAURANT AND A MIX. IN TERMS OF THE 
          [01:20:05]
ENTITLEMENT OVERVIEW, THE ZONING ORDINANCE REQUIRES AN ASSEMBLY USE OTHER, WHICH IS WHAT THIS IS CATEGORIZED AS TO FIRST, OBTAIN A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FROM THE CITY COUNCIL TO LEGALLY OPERATE IN BOTH THE BASE COMMERCIAL AND PRESTON ROAD OVERLAY ZONING DISTRICTS. 
          AND I WON'T READ THE ENTIRE DEFINITION, BUT BASICALLY ASSEMBLY USES OTHERS DEFINED AS A BUILDING OR STRUCTURE FOR THE GATHERING OF PERSONS FOR THE PURPOSES OF CIVIC, SOCIAL OR EDUCATIONAL FUNCTIONS. IN TERMS OF THE OVERVIEW AND SUP IS REQUIRED OF LAND USES THAT THE ZONING ORDINANCE MAY ALLOW, BUT ALSO THAT ARE SCREENED AND SPECIALLY APPROVED BASED ON THEIR SITUATIONAL SUITABILITY. AND SO THE MAIN PURPOSE IS TO DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATENESS OF THE PROPOSAL. AND THE CITY DOES HAVE BROAD DISCRETIONARY APPROVAL OF THE REQUESTED SUP. 
          HERE'S THE SITE PLAN SHOWING THE PROPERTY. SO WE'RE AT THE VERY BACK OF THIS PROPERTY ON THE KIND OF THE CORNER IDENTIFIED BY THE YELLOW STAR HERE. AND YOU CAN SEE AN OVERALL SITE PLAN THAT SHOWS THE ENTIRE FOUR ACRES. AGAIN, WE'RE ON THE BOTTOM, THE SOUTHEASTERN SIDE. AND THEN AS A REMINDER, WE SAW A SIMILAR LAYOUT FOR THE PROPERTY SOUTH OF THAT, WHICH WAS THAT SPROUTS CORNER. WE LOOKED AT A GAS STATION LAST TIME. SO THERE'S ADDITIONAL RETAIL RESTAURANTS WITHIN THAT AREA AS WELL. JUST FOR CONTEXT. SO FOR POLICY CONSIDERATIONS, THIS PROPERTY IS BASE. ZONING IS COMMERCIAL. THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS LOCATED AT THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY. SO IT DOESN'T REPLACE ANY PRIME RETAIL SPOTS UP FRONT CLOSER TO PRESTON. AND THEN EVENT CENTERS OF THIS NATURE ARE COMMON IN COMMERCIAL AREAS. THEY DON'T ALWAYS REQUIRE AN SUP THE GOVERNING CITIES. AND IN TERMS OF THE RECOMMENDATION, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AT THEIR LAST MEETING LAST MONTH. THERE WAS NO PUBLIC FEEDBACK AT THE PUBLIC HEARING. THE COMMISSION NOTED THAT SUFFICIENT PARKING WOULD BE AVAILABLE, AND IT WOULD BE BASED ON THIS LARGER COMMERCIAL CORNER, AS WELL AS THE COMMERCIAL CORNER SOUTH OF THIS. IN ADDITION, PARKING IS SHARED, SO STAFF ALSO DOESN'T HAVE A CONCERN WITH PARKING, AND SO STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL AS PRESENTED. AND I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. ANY QUESTIONS? I'M NOT SURE THAT IT MATTERS. BUT DO WE KNOW WHAT KIND OF EVENT CENTER WE'RE HAVING IN THERE FROM. I MEAN, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A VFW OR A. MR.

THE ARTS BOARD HAS PUT TOGETHER AN ANNUAL PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 26 THAT INCLUDES THE DOWNTOWN CENTER, PARKING GARAGE, THE PARKS ADMINISTRATION BUILDING AND FIRE STATION NUMBER FOUR. 
          SO FOR THE DOWNTOWN PARKING GARAGE, JUST FOR CONTEXT, THERE IS A LOCATION ALONG ARIZONA WHERE THE GENERATORS ARE GOING THAT THE ARTS BOARD WOULD PROPOSE TO CONCEAL SOME OF THAT AREA BY USING SOME CREATIVE MURALS FOR THE PARKS ADMINISTRATION BUILDING. IT IS PLANNED TO HAVE A MURAL. THIS IS JUST A CONCEPTUAL RENDERING FROM THE ARCHITECTS AND FIRE STATION. NUMBER FOUR. THE DESIGN ALSO INCLUDES A LOCATION FOR A MURAL. FUNDING FOR THESE PROJECTS IS THROUGH OUR BOND FUNDS. CONNECTED TO EACH BUILDING PROJECT IS. THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN AUTHORIZED BY CITY COUNCIL THROUGH THE BUDGET AND THE FIVE YEAR CIP. THE CITY DEDICATES UP TO 1.5% OF ELIGIBLE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS FOR PUBLIC ART. IT HAS BEEN A PRACTICE OF CITY COUNCIL TO APPOINT A LIAISON FOR EACH PUBLIC ART PROJECT, BECAUSE WE

          STARTING WITH THE INTERSECTION OF LEGACY AND FM. 428 FM 428 IS CURRENTLY REGULATED BY THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. PORTION OF THE ROAD WILL BE INCORPORATED INTO THE FUTURE OUTER LOOP, WITH LEGACY DRIVE BEING THE COUNTY BOUNDARY. WITH DENTON TO THE WEST AND CALLING TO THE EAST. EVEN THOUGH THE INTERSECTION MEETS TEST DOT DESIGN REQUIREMENTS, IT DOES NOT ALIGN WITH THE FUTURE CITY THOROUGHFARE PLAN. HENCE THE NEED FOR THE REDESIGN. ADDITIONALLY, 14 CRASHES HAVE BEEN RECORDED AT THIS INTERSECTION IN THE PAST THREE YEARS, SO THE REDESIGN WILL HELP IMPROVE THE SAFETY OF THE INTERSECTION. THE PRESENCE OF THE FLOODPLAIN, AND THE RESTRICTED WATER OF THE US WILL ALSO REQUIRE A DRAINAGE DESIGN TO HELP MOVE STORMWATER THROUGH THE PROJECT AREA TO HELP MITIGATE FLOODING IN THE CORRIDOR, THE FUTURE SALINA ISD HIGH SCHOOL WILL ALSO BE LOCATED IN THIS AREA, A LITTLE NORTH OF THE OUTER LOOP, WEST OF LEGACY DRIVE, SO THE REDESIGN OF THIS INTERSECTION WILL HELP ACCOMMODATE THE FUTURE HIGH SCHOOL TRAFFIC. FOR CARRIE. FOR LEGACY DRIVE FROM CARRIE ROAD TO POINT CARTER, 100% OF THIS ROAD SECTION LIES IN THE REGULATED FLOODPLAIN, WHICH MAKES THE PROJECT A LITTLE COMPLICATED. SO WE STARTED THIS PROJECT OFF WITH SCHEMATIC DESIGN AND THE DESIGN. SCHEMATIC DESIGN WAS TO HELP US TO ENSURE THAT THE ALIGNMENT ON THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN STILL MAKES SENSE, AND TWO, TO IDENTIFY THE CHALLENGES THAT MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROJECT. THE CONTRACT FOR THIS SCHEMATIC DESIGN WAS COMPLETED, WAS AWARDED IN JULY OF 2024, AND THE PROJECT HAS BEEN COMPLETED SINCE.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL. GOOD EVENING AGAIN. 
          SO AS YOU CAN SEE THERE, WE ACTUALLY WENT OUT AND WE SOLD THE CEOS VIA A NEGOTIATED SALE. 
          SO WE HIRED THE CITY, HIRED FOUR UNDERWRITERS AND TOLD THEM AT THIS POINT, GO OUT AND SELL THESE BONDS, ASSUMING THAT THE MARKET IS GOOD. THE MARKET WAS FAVORABLE TODAY. AND AS YOU CAN SEE THERE, WE ACTUALLY ARE PROVIDING 140.5 MILLION IN PROJECT PROCEEDS, 75 MILLION OF THAT IS FOR GENERAL PROJECTS. THE REMAINING BALANCE IS FOR UTILITY PROJECTS. WE ACTUALLY HAD, AS YOU CAN SEE THERE ON THE BOTTOM 213 MILLION OF INVESTOR ORDERS. SO WE HAD MORE ORDERS THAN WE HAD BONDS, WHICH IS A GOOD PROBLEM TO HAVE, BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS THEN IS THAT ALLOWS THE UNDERWRITERS TO RATCHET DOWN THAT INTEREST RATE OR THE YIELD ACTUALLY. SO IT'S A LOWER COST OF CAPITAL. SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE 400 OR BEG YOUR PARDON, 4.30% WAS THE FINAL TRUE INTEREST COST. THAT WAS SIGNIFICANTLY BELOW WHAT WE HAD ESTIMATED OF 4.75%. AND SO WHAT THAT RESULTS IN IS $11.8 MILLION LESS IN DEBT SERVICE FROM WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY PROJECTED. SO VERY HAPPY WITH THAT. THE OTHER THING THAT I WOULD POINT OUT IS CARLA SAID, WE DID TALK WITH THE RATING AGENCIES. SO YOU HAVE VERY HIGH CREDIT RATINGS. MOODY'S IS A DOUBLE A ONE, AND THEY HAD ACTUALLY UPGRADED THAT BACK IN MAY OF 2024. S&P IS ACTUALLY ONE NOTCH LOWER. HOWEVER, AS YOU CAN SEE THERE, THEY DID ASSIGN A POSITIVE OUTLOOK, ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL OR BETTER. WHAT YOU TYPICALLY SEE WHENEVER A POSITIVE OUTLOOK IS ASSIGNED IS WITHIN A 1 TO 2 YEAR PERIOD THAT THAT CREDIT RATING IS UPGRADED. SO AGAIN, ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL OR BETTER, WE WOULD EXPECT TO SEE A DOUBLE A PLUS POTENTIALLY AS EARLY AS NEXT YEAR. SO VERY HAPPY WITH THAT AS WELL. AND THAT'S WHAT LED TO THE LOW INTEREST RATE. SO AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THIS JUST GOES THROUGH THE THREE YEAR HISTORY OF THE DEBT ISSUANCE THERE GOING BACK TO 2020, SPECIFICALLY WITH THE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION. AND THEN AGAIN, THOSE CREDIT RATINGS AS WELL. SO WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. ANY QUESTIONS. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THERE'S NO QUESTIONS. 
          I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION FOR ITEM G A MOTION TO APPROVE. DO I HAVE A SECOND. I HAVE A SECOND FROM PHILLIP. IF EVERYBODY PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. LOOKS LIKE WE'RE HAVING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES. COULD WE DO A HAND VOTE, PLEASE? ALL RIGHT. IF EVERYBODY WILL, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND FOR VOTE TO APPROVE. ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0, AND WE'LL MOVE 
          [X.H. Consider and act to elect a Mayor Pro Tem and Deputy Mayor Pro Tem. (Owens) ]
TO ITEM H. CONSIDER AN ACT TO ELECT A MAYOR PRO TEM AND DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM. I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS ONE. ARE YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY? OKAY. I THINK WAS IT EDDIE LOVES MAYOR PRO TEM SO MUCH. AND BRANDON WAS DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM. SO WE ELECT NEW ONES EVERY YEAR. I PERSONALLY THINK IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE FOR COUNCILMAN GRUMBLES TO BE MAYOR PRO TEM. 
          AS FAR AS DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM, I DON'T KNOW. WHAT DO Y'ALL THINK? I'LL JUST REITERATE MY ANNUAL POSITION ON THIS, THAT IT'S A RATHER CEREMONIAL POSITION. AND I CAN SAY THAT AFTER HAVING BEEN MAYOR PRO TEM FOR THE LAST YEAR, YOU REALLY DON'T DO A WHOLE LOT. AND SO MY 
          [01:50:02]
POSITION HAS ALWAYS BEEN THAT IT SHOULD BE ON SENIORITY JUST SO NOBODY GETS THEIR FEELINGS HURT. AND SO WHEN IT DOES COME TIME FOR A MOTION, I WILL MOVE THAT COUNCILMAN HOPKINS BE MAYOR PRO TEM AND COUNCILMAN FERGUSON BE DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM. ANY OTHER FEEDBACK? OKAY. 
          THERE'S NO OTHER FEEDBACK. I'LL SECOND HAVE A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN HOPKINS. IT'S STILL BLANK. JUST NOW. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION FOR COUNCILMAN HOPKINS FOR MAYOR PRO TEM AND COUNCILMAN FERGUSON FOR DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM. ALL IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. THAT'S THREE. ALL OPPOSED? OKAY. MOTION FAILS. 4 TO 3. I VOTED AGAINST MYSELF LAST YEAR. YOU DID. I WILL GIVE YOU THAT CREDIT. OKAY. WITH THE MOTION FAILING, THEN I'LL ENTERTAIN A SEPARATE MOTION OR ANY OTHER DISCUSSION. YOU VOTED NO. PICK SOMEBODY. THIS IS WHY I SAY IT SHOULD JUST BE DONE ON SENIORITY. REALLY SORT OF TAKES CARE OF ITSELF. DECIDED BEFORE WE GOT IN HERE ANYWAY, WHOEVER IS WHATEVER THE NEXT MOTION IS, I WILL VOTE YES. SAME ANYBODY. 
          MADE A MOTION, I CAN MAKE MONEY. I WILL MAKE A MOTION FOR, BRANDON GRUMBLES, SINCE NO ONE ELSE IS DOING IT. OKAY, I HAVE A DO YOU HAVE A MAYOR PRO TEM IN MIND? YOU CAN NOMINATE YOURSELF. SURE. MAYOR PRO TEM, DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM. I'M SORRY. YEAH, ANDY. OKAY. I HAVE A MOTION FOR COUNCILMAN GRUMBLES FOR MAYOR PRO TEM AND ANDY FOR DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM. DO I HAVE A SECOND? OKAY, I HAVE A SECOND. IF EVERYBODY WILL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. OH, WELL, THIS ISN'T WORKING, RIGHT? YEAH. OKAY. IF EVERYBODY PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. YES. OKAY. MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0.
