[00:00:02]
          GOING TO MOVE DIRECTLY INTO THE REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING. 
          I'M GOING TO CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER. WE DO HAVE A QUORUM PRESENT WITH THAT. 
          WE'RE GOING TO MOVE INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION AS AUTHORIZED BY SECTION 551.071 OF THE TEXAS
GOVERNMENT CODE. 
          THE REGULAR MEETING MAY BE CONVENED INTO CLOSED EXECUTIVE SESSION FOR THE PURPOSE OF
SEEKING CONFIDENTIAL LEGAL ADVICE FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY ON ANY AGENDA ITEM LISTED HEREIN. OKAY. WE ARE COMING OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION. 
          WE WILL RECONVENE INTO OPEN SESSION TO CONSIDER AND TAKE ACTION,
IF ANY, ON MATTERS DISCUSSED DURING EXECUTIVE SESSION, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE ANTICIPATED ACTION ITEMS LISTED BELOW. 
          ITEM J IS. CONSIDER AN ACT TO APPROVE AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT
WITH KNACK DEVELOPMENT, LLC. WE HAVE A PRESENTATION ON THIS? YES. THANK YOU,
MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THE ITEM BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH NAC. NAC DEVELOPMENT FOR A PROJECT CALLED TRACKSIDE JUNCTION. 
          THIS PROJECT REPRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TRANSFORM A CITY OWNED SURFACE PARKING LOT INTO
A MINIMUM $15 MILLION MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT THAT ADVANCES THE CITY'S VISION FOR DOWNTOWN. FIRST, A LITTLE BIT ABOUT NAC DEVELOPMENT. 
          NAC DEVELOPMENT IS LED BY DONNIE CHURCHMAN. DONNIE BRINGS A FAMILY HISTORY ROOTED IN
PUBLIC SERVICE, ENGINEERING, EDUCATION, CITY PLANNING, AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. 
          THAT BACKGROUND HAS SHAPED AN APPROACH TO DEVELOPMENT THAT IS FOCUSED ON BUILDING
COMPLETE, ACTIVE AND FORWARD LOOKING PROJECTS. THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS, STAFF STAFF HAS WORKED CLOSELY WITH DONNIE AND HIS TEAM TO DEVELOP A PROJECT THAT RESPONDS SPECIFICALLY TO
SALINA'S VISION FOR THIS PROPERTY, AND THE FUTURE OF DOWNTOWN. NAC DEVELOPMENT IS WELL SERVED,
IS WELL VERSED IN THOUGHTFUL DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, INVESTING IN SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS. AS YOU CAN SEE HERE IN DOWNTOWN SUCH AS FRISCO,
LEWISVILLE AND MANSFIELD. 
          THIS PROJECT IS LOCATED AT 111 WEST PECAN STREET AND AT THE INTERSECTION OF PECAN STREET
AND LOUISIANA DRIVE. 
          APPROXIMATELY ONE ACRE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY OWNED BY THE CITY AND OPERATES AS A SURFACE
PARKING LOT. 
          TRACKSIDE JUNCTION IS ENVISIONED AS A TWO BUILDING,
MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT THAT INTRODUCES NEW RESTAURANTS, RETAIL, RESIDENTIAL SPACE, EVENT SPACE, PUBLIC PARKING AND PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS. 
          THE BUILDINGS HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO COMPLEMENT THE CHARACTER AND SCALE OF DOWNTOWN WHILE
CREATING SOMETHING NEW AND DISTINCTIVE. 
          THE GROUND FLOORS WOULD ACTIVATE THE STREET WITH COMMERCIAL AND RESTAURANT USES. 
          THE UPPER FLOORS WOULD ADD OFFICE EVENT, RESIDENTIAL ACTIVITY AND RESIDENTIAL ACTIVITY,
AND HELP CREATE A PROJECT THAT REMAINS ACTIVE BEYOND TRADITIONAL BUSINESS HOURS. 
          THE OVERALL OBJECTIVE IS TO CREATE A PLACE WHERE RESIDENTS AND VISITORS CAN DINE,
SHOP, WORK, GATHER AND SPEND OVERALL MORE TIME IN DOWNTOWN. 
          THESE RENDERINGS ALSO DEMONSTRATE HOW THE PROJECT WOULD IMPROVE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
THE BUILDING SIDEWALKS, PARKING AREAS AND SURROUNDING STREETS. AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, ALSO INCLUDED IN THE PROJECT ON THE RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT ARE ROOFTOP PATIOS AND GARDENS
FOR EACH OF THE PROPOSED RESIDENCES. 
          AND ANOTHER IMAGE HERE JUST TO SHOW THE RELATIONSHIP AGAIN TO THE STREET. 
          THIS IS LOOKING AT THE BACKSIDE OF THE PROJECT. 
          THE DEVELOPER IS MAINTAINING 31 PUBLIC PARKING SPACES ON SITE,
AND FOR EACH OF THOSE RESIDENTIAL UNITS, A TWO CAR ENCLOSED PARKING GARAGE IS REQUIRED. 
          ALSO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE DESIGN ESTHETIC,
CREATING THESE AREAS WHERE PEOPLE DO WANT TO GATHER AND COME TOGETHER AS PART OF THE OVERALL PROJECT. INCLUDED WITH THIS PROJECT IS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC PARKING. 
          THE CITY AS PART OF THIS WILL GROUND LEASE THE HIGHLIGHTED PROPERTY AT 212 NORTH LOUISIANA
DRIVE. 
          THE DEVELOPER WILL THEN IN TURN CONSTRUCT A MINIMUM OF 18 PARKING PUBLIC PARKING SPACES ON
THIS PROPERTY. 
          ANOTHER OPTION THAT WE WANTED TO TO LOOK AT FOR PARKING IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR WAYFINDING. 
          THIS WILL LIKELY BE A CITY PROJECT THAT COULD COME IN ADVANCE OF THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS, AS WE LOOK TO IDENTIFY WHERE SOME OF THESE PUBLIC PARKING LOTS ARE IN DOWNTOWN. 
          THIS PROJECT IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN AND THE CITY'S BROADER VISION
FOR THIS AREA. 
          THE MASTER PLAN IDENTIFIES THIS PORTION OF DOWNTOWN AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ADDITIONAL MIXED
USE DEVELOPMENT, STRONGER PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS, AND AN EXTENSION OF THE ACTIVITY BEYOND THE SQUARE. 
          THE CURRENT PARKING LOT SERVES AN IMPORTANT PURPOSE TODAY,
BUT THE CITY'S LONG TERM VISION GOES BEYOND THE USE OF JUST PARKING FOR THIS SPACE. 
          THE PROJECT ALLOWS US TO PRESERVE PUBLIC PARKING AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT,
WHILE PLACING THE PROPERTY IN A SIGNIFICANTLY MORE PRODUCTIVE USE. 
          SO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROJECT. TRACKSIDE JUNCTION WOULD INTRODUCE APPROXIMATELY 1500
ZERO SQUARE FEET OF NEW COMMERCIAL, RETAIL AND RESTAURANT SPACE INTO DOWNTOWN. THIS REPRESENTS AN ESTIMATED 20% INCREASE IN
THE AMOUNT OF COMMERCIAL SPACE CURRENTLY LOCATED WITHIN OUR DOWNTOWN AREA. 
          [00:05:05]
THE IMPORTANCE OF THAT INCREASE EXTENDS BEYOND THE INDIVIDUAL BUSINESSES THAT WILL OCCUPY
THIS PROJECT. 
          IT PROVIDES EVEN MORE REASONS FOR PEOPLE TO VISIT. 
          DOWNTOWN EXPANDS THE DOWNTOWN CUSTOMER BASE,
SUPPORTS ACTIVITY DURING EVENINGS AND WEEKENDS, AND EXTENDS COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY FURTHER ALONG LOUISIANA DRIVE. 
          IT ALSO SERVES AS A CATALYTIC CONNECTION BETWEEN THE HISTORIC SQUARE AND THE FUTURE
ENTERTAINMENT ORIENTED ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT AREA. 
          THIS TYPE OF PROJECT THAT CAN STRENGTHEN SURROUNDING PROPERTIES AND ENCOURAGE ADDITIONAL
PRIVATE INVESTMENT THROUGHOUT DOWNTOWN. 
          SO LOOKING AT THE DEVELOPER OBLIGATIONS, THE AGREEMENT REQUIRES A DEVELOPER TO MAKE A
MINIMUM $15 MILLION CAPITAL INVESTMENT. 
          MIXED USE BUILDING ONE WILL INCLUDE APPROXIMATELY 40,000FT² OF SPACE,
WITH APPROXIMATELY 10,000FT² OF COMMERCIAL, RETAIL AND RESTAURANT SPACE ON THE FIRST FLOOR. 
          THE UPPER FLOORS WILL ACCOMMODATE OFFICE, CO-WORKING,
EVENT AND OTHER COMPLEMENTARY USES. 
          MIXED USE BUILDING TWO WILL INCLUDE APPROXIMATELY 15,000FT² WITH APPROXIMATELY 5000FT² OF
COMMERCIAL SPACE. 
          A COMMERCIAL, RETAIL AND RESTAURANT SPACE ON THE FIRST FLOOR AND LUXURY RESIDENTIAL UNITS
ON THE UPPER FLOORS. 
          THE DEVELOPER ALSO PROVIDE THE CDC WITH THE OPTION TO LEASE LEASE AT LEAST 3000FT² OF
OFFICE SPACE WITHIN THE PROJECT AND EVENT SPACE WITH A MINIMUM CAPACITY OF 100 OCCUPANTS IS ALSO REQUIRED AS PART OF THIS AGREEMENT. 
          EXCUSE ME. AND LOOKING AT THE CITY, EDC AND TRS 11 OBLIGATIONS,
THESE TOTAL TO $3.05 MILLION. 
          THE CITY WOULD TRANSFER THE ONE ACRE PROPERTY PARKING LOT TO THE DEVELOPER FOR $1. 
          THE PROPERTY HAS AN ESTIMATED VALUE OF $1 MILLION. 
          IMPORTANTLY, THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDES A REVERTER PROVISION IF THE DEVELOPER FAILS TO COMPLY
WITH THE OBLIGATIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROPERTY REVERTS BACK TO THE CITY AT NO COST. 
          TURNS 11 WOULD THEN PROVIDE A GRANT OF APPROXIMATELY $1.7 MILLION,
TIED TO KEY PERFORMANCE DEADLINES FOUND WITHIN THE AGREEMENT. 
          THE CDC WOULD PROVIDE A $350,000 GRANT FOR QUALIFIED EXPENDITURES,
175,000 AT THE CEO OF THE FACILITY, AND 175,000 AT THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE FACILITY. 
          MOVING TO THE DEVELOPER OBLIGATIONS. THE AGREEMENT ALSO ESTABLISHES SEVERAL IMPORTANT
INFRASTRUCTURE AND PARKING OBLIGATIONS. ON THE DEVELOPER SIDE, THE DEVELOPER MUST INSTALL A UNIVERSAL GREASE TRAP TO SUPPORT THE RESTAURANT SPACES WITHIN THE PROJECT. 
          THE DEVELOPER IS REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN 31 PUBLIC PARKING SPACES ON THE PROJECT IN
PERPETUITY AND SIGNED. 
          AS SUCH, EACH RESIDENTIAL UNIT MUST ALSO BE SERVED BY TWO ENCLOSED GARAGE PARKING SPACES. 
          ADDITIONALLY, THE DEVELOPER MUST ESCROW FUND FUNDING FOR STREET AND SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS, INCLUDING PARALLEL PARKING AND PEDESTRIAN AMENITIES ALONG LOUISIANA DRIVE. 
          THESE REQUIREMENTS HELP ENSURE THAT THE CITY THAT THE PROJECT CONTRIBUTES TO SURROUNDING
PUBLIC ENVIRONMENT AND THAT THE INFRASTRUCTURE RESPONSIBILITIES ARE NOT SHIFTED TO THE CITY. THE DEVELOPER IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR IMPROVING THE INTERSECTION OF PECAN STREET AND
LOUISIANA DRIVE, WITH THE INSTALLATION OF A FLASHING PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK ACROSS LOUISIANA DRIVE,
SUBJECT TO TEXDOT APPROVAL. 
          THIS IMPROVEMENT WILL HELP STRENGTHEN THE PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION BETWEEN THE PROJECT,
THE SQUARE, AND THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT AREA. THE AGREEMENT ESTABLISHES FIRM DELIVERY DEADLINES. CONSTRUCTION MUST COMMENCE BY THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2027,
AND CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY FOR SHELL BUILDINGS MUST BE OBTAINED BY THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2028. THESE DEADLINES, TOGETHER WITH THE PERFORMANCE BASED GRANTS AND REVERTER
PROVISION, AGAIN ENSURE THE CITY'S PARTICIPATION IS TIED TO THE DELIVERY OF THE PROJECT. 
          HERE'S A BRIEF ROI OF FOR YOU COUNCIL THIS EVENING. 
          LOOKING FROM THE 11 CAPACITY EDC CITY. AND AND KNOW THAT,
YOU KNOW, THIS IS PRETTY TYPICAL OF AN ROI FOR OUR DOWNTOWN PROJECTS. AND THE DEVELOPER, DANNY CHURCHMAN,
IS HERE TONIGHT IF THERE'S ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. 
          BUT WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. 
          THIS AGREEMENT IS UP FOR YOUR ACTION THIS EVENING. 
          HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? FOR TAKING ACTION ON THIS ITEM. 
          RIGHT. CORRECT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NOPE. OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THIS ITEM IS UP FOR ACTION. 
          I WILL OPEN PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM. IT IS 705. 
          IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK FOR ITEM J. 
          IF THERE'S NO ONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM J,
I'LL CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT AT 706 AND THEN I WILL LOOK FOR A MOTION. 
          MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM J. I HAVE A MOTION AND I HAVE A SECOND TO APPROVE. 
          EVERYBODY, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. 
          OKAY. THE MOTION CARRIES 5 TO 2. APPROVED. DONNIE,
I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING SOME SHOVELS OUT THERE. 
          [00:10:06]
ALL RIGHT, WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM K. CONSIDER AN ACT TO APPROVE AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND
PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT WITH WALMART REAL ESTATE BUSINESS TRUST, ITEM K. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THE AGREEMENT IS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT FOR ACTION. 
          THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT OF THE CITY. 
          AS PART OF THIS PROJECT, IN THE AGREEMENT, THE DEVELOPER OBLIGATIONS WALMART WILL PURCHASE
AN APPROXIMATELY 40 ACRE SITE IN THE CITY'S NORTHWEST QUADRANT BY DECEMBER 31ST OF 2026. 
          WALMART WILL CONSTRUCT AT LEAST 150,000 SQUARE FOOT GROCERY,
GENERAL MERCHANDISE, RETAIL AND RETAIL OUTLET ON THE PROPERTY. 
          WALMART WILL INVEST AT LEAST $25 MILLION IN REAL PROPERTY IMPROVEMENTS AND BUSINESS
PERSONAL PROPERTY ON THE PROPERTY, NOT INCLUDING LAND COSTS. WALMART WILL MAINTAIN CONTINUOUS OCCUPANCY OF THE FACILITY AND
AT LEAST 120 FULL TIME JOBS ON THE PROPERTY THROUGHOUT THE TERM OF THE AGREEMENT, ONCE THE FACILITY RECEIVES A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY. 
          MOVING TO THE CITY EDC OBLIGATIONS THE CITY THE CITY WILL PROVIDE AN ANNUAL 50% SALES TAX
REIMBURSEMENT GRANT FOR A PERIOD OF TEN YEARS, NOT TO EXCEED $3.4 MILLION. AS WITH ALL PROJECTS THAT RECEIVE SALES SALES TAX GRANTS,
WE DO A BREAK EVEN ANALYSIS. 
          THE BREAK EVEN POINT FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT IS YEAR SEVEN. 
          THE CDC WILL PROVIDE AN ANNUAL 50% SALES TAX REIMBURSEMENT GRANT,
ALSO FOR A PERIOD OF TEN YEARS. 
          THE CDC'S PORTION DOES NOT EXCEED $1.7 MILLION. 
          THE BREAK EVEN POINT AGAIN IS YEAR SEVEN. THE MAXIMUM TOTAL GRANT PAID BY BOTH THE CITY
AND THE CDC SHALL BE CAPPED AT AND NOT TO EXCEED, $5.1 MILLION. AND AGAIN, THIS AGREEMENT IS UP FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION THIS EVENING. 
          I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. 
          I THINK I'LL JUST I'LL ADD MY OWN COMMENT. AND WE LOOK AT A NEIGHBORING CITY,
JUST RECENTLY APPROVED A WALMART AND OFFERED AN $8 MILLION INCENTIVE. THESE ARE ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. 
          I MEAN, I THINK WE TRY AND DO THE BEST WE CAN WITH OUR RESIDENTS TAX DOLLARS,
BUT WE LOOK AT THE TIME VALUE OF MONEY TO BE ABLE TO GET AN AGREEMENT LIKE THIS, WHERE THEY'RE ASKING FOR THE SAME INCENTIVE THAT WE APPROVED TWO YEARS AGO. 
          AND THIS MAY NOT COME UP TO THE CITY. IT MAY BE FIVE YEARS. 
          IT MAY BE THREE YEARS BEFORE THEY DECIDE TO BREAK GROUND AND MAYBE TEN YEARS. 
          BUT BY THAT POINT IN TIME, THESE INCENTIVES MAY BE DOUBLE THE ASK OF WHAT IT TAKES. 
          AND THEN WE LOOK AT WE'RE GOING TO BUILD THE BEST WALMART WE CAN. 
          SO EVERY RESIDENT OF PILOT POINT COMES AND VISITS SALINA AND SHOPS AT WALMART. 
          SO THAT IS, I THINK DEFINITELY WHAT WE LOOK FOR IN SECURING THESE TYPE OF RETAILERS INSIDE
OF OUR BOUNDARIES SO THAT WE CAUSE SALES TAX LEAKAGE TO OUR LOVELY NEIGHBORS. 
          AND WITH THAT, I WILL I WILL OPEN PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM K THAT IS 709. 
          IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM K? OKAY. IF NO ONE WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM K I WILL CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          IT'S STILL 709 AND I WILL LOOK FOR A MOTION. MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM K SECOND. 
          I HAVE A MOTION FROM BRANDON AND A SECOND FROM ANDY. 
          IF EVERYBODY WILL PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. 
          OKAY. THAT MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT,
WE ARE GOING TO GO INTO THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE AND INVOCATION. IF EVERYBODY WILL, PLEASE STAND FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE AND THEN REMAIN
STANDING FOR THE INVOCATION. 
          TONIGHT, WE DO HAVE PASTOR KYLE ECHOLS THAT WILL GIVE THE INVOCATION ONCE WE ARE DONE WITH
THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. 
          I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. 
          HONOR THE TEXAS FLAG. I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THEE. 
          TEXAS. ONE STATE UNDER GOD, ONE AND INDIVISIBLE. 
          MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS. CITY STAFF AND CITIZENS. 
          MY NAME IS KYLE AND I AM THE LEAD PASTOR OF PASTOR,
CHURCH 1132, IS COMING TO SALINA IN THE FALL, AND I HAVE THE WONDERFUL PRIVILEGE JUST TO SAY TWO THINGS. 
          BEEN A RESIDENT HERE FOR TEN YEARS, AND I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS TO SACRIFICE YOUR HONOR TO
THE CITY OF RAISING GREAT FAMILIES. 
          FAMILY OF FOUR. SO I TRULY APPRECIATE YOUR SACRIFICE AND YOUR INTELLIGENCE ON HOW TO
STEWARD FAMILIES WELL IN SALINA. 
          AND THEN I WOULD LOVE TO SAY A WORD OF BLESSING OVER. 
          SO LET'S BOW OUR HEADS. LORD, WE LOVE YOU. WE THANK YOU FOR THIS CITY AND LORD. 
          [00:15:07]
AND WE JUST DECLARE GOD OVER EVERY PERSON HERE,
OVER THE MAYOR, OVER THE CITIZENS, OVER THE STAFF, PEOPLE THAT SERVE UNDER GOD IN OUR BEAUTIFUL NATION. 
          GOD, WE JUST DECLARE THE FAVOR OF THE LORD OVER THIS CITY. 
          WE THANK YOU, GOD, FOR PUTTING PEOPLE IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME. 
          GOD, WE THANK YOU THAT YOUR HAND IS OVER THIS CITY,
LORD, THAT THIS CITY BELONGS TO YOU. 
          WE THANK YOU THAT YOUR PERFECT BLOOD OF JESUS GOD WAS SPILLED FOR EVERY PERSON HERE. 
          AND LORD, WE JUST THANK YOU FOR WISDOM BEYOND OUR YEARS. 
          GOD, THANK YOU, LORD, THAT YOU CARE FOR FAMILIES,
LORD, AND THAT YOU ARE BRINGING FAMILIES HERE. 
          LORD JESUS, BECAUSE YOU FOUND THIS PLACE A BEAUTIFUL PLACE,
LORD JESUS. 
          SO THANK YOU GOD FOR YOUR YOUR WORD, YOUR TRUTH. 
          THANK YOU FOR WISDOM, GOD AND EVERY PERSON HERE. 
          AND WE LOVE YOU. WE HONOR YOU, AND WE BLESS THIS TIME TOGETHER. 
          IN THE NAME OF JESUS. AMEN. AMEN. THANK YOU,
THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE RIGHT INTO WORK SESSION COMMITTEE REPORTS AND STAFF REPORTS. 
          ITEM A IS DISCUSSION REGARDING XERISCAPE DESIGN STANDARDS. 
          GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THIS EVENING WE ARE CONTINUING THE CITY'S CONVERSATION ON
WATER. 
          IN THE PAST, WE HAVE RECEIVED MANY UPDATES ON VARIOUS THINGS DEALING WITH THE WATER TOPIC. 
          RECENTLY, WE ADOPTED THE MEDIAN LANDSCAPE PATTERN BOOK. 
          WE LOOKED AT VARIOUS PRESENTATIONS ON HOW TO INCREASE WATER SUPPLIES AND RESOURCES,
LOOKED AT EDUCATION AND OUTREACH, AND OTHER ITEMS. IN FEBRUARY OF 26, THE CITY APPROVED A CONTRACT WITH FREESE AND NICHOLS
TO COMPARE CITY WATER ORDINANCES AND PRACTICES AGAINST THOSE OF BENCHMARK CITIES AND PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS ON DEVELOPMENT RELATED UPDATES. 
          THE CONSULTANTS ARE HERE THIS EVENING TO PROVIDE THEIR SHARE,
THEIR FINDINGS WITH THE COUNCIL, AND AFTER THEY SHARE THEIR FINDINGS WITH THE COUNCIL,
STAFF, WILL BE BACK TO SUMMARIZE FEEDBACK ON THE VERY SAME TOPIC AND PRESENTATION FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. 
          ALSO ON A DEVELOPER SURVEY THAT WENT OUT PREVIOUSLY THIS MONTH IN JUNE AS WELL. 
          AND THEN WHEN THE STAFF WILL BE ASKING COUNCIL TO PROVIDE DIRECT FEEDBACK ON VARIOUS
DEVELOPMENT RELATED WATER REGULATIONS FOR COUNCIL TO PROVIDE THAT FEEDBACK ON DURING THE CONSULTANTS PRESENTATION, IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE
DIFFERENCES IN ORDINANCE LANGUAGE IN TERMS OF ALLOWING, AND THEN THINGS THAT ARE MORE COMPULSORY IN NATURE. 
          AND THAT DOES MATTER IN TERMS OF PERFORMANCE AND OUTCOME WITH NEW DEVELOPMENT,
IN TERMS OF POLICY AND WITH THE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, SALON HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO HELP ESTABLISH REGIONAL STANDARD. 
          A LOT OF CITIES ARE FRANKLY NOT DOING WHAT IS BEING DISCUSSED THIS EVENING. 
          OTHER POLICY CONSIDERATIONS ARE THAT ORDINANCE UPDATES ARE NOT OVERNIGHT. 
          CONSTRUCTION PERMITTING DESIGN OPTIONS THERE. 
          THEY TAKE TIME. XERISCAPE DESIGN, IT CAN BE COSTLY. 
          IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE CHEAPEST OPTION. AND THEN OF COURSE SURVEY RESULTS FROM THE
BUILDER AND DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITIES WERE LIMITED FROM SUPPORT WITH THAT, WE DO HAVE FREEZE AND NICHOLS TO GIVE THEIR PRESENTATION AND THEY'LL BE HERE
THIS EVENING TO PROVIDE RIGHT. 
          UP NEXT. WELL, THANK YOU THIS EVENING FOR LETTING ME COME PRESENT. 
          I'VE BEEN ASKED TO KEEP THIS BRIEF, SO I WILL TRY TO GO THROUGH THESE RELATIVELY QUICKLY. 
          BUT IF THERE ARE ANY POINTS YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO STOP AND HAVE A CONVERSATION OR ANSWER A
QUESTION, JUST LET ME KNOW. SO AS DUSTY MENTIONED, WE WERE HIRED BY THE CITY TO DO AN OVERVIEW OF
KIND OF THE CURRENT LEVEL OF ORDINANCES THAT THE CITY HAS. LOOK AT BENCHMARK COMMUNITY. 
          SO WE LOOKED AT BENCHMARK COMMUNITIES WITHIN THE DFW METROPLEX. 
          WE LOOKED AT BENCHMARK COMMUNITIES WITHOUT WITHIN THE BROADER TEXAS AREA. 
          AND THEN WE LOOKED OUTSIDE OF TEXAS AS WELL. AND THEN I'LL PRESENT SOME OF THOSE DRAFT
RECOMMENDATIONS, AND THEN WE'LL BE UP TO THE COUNCIL ON THOSE NEXT STEPS. 
          SO AGAIN, WE LOOKED AT COMPARING SELENA AGAINST SIX BENCHMARK ENTITIES ACTUALLY ENDED UP
BEING NINE. 
          AND WE DID PREPARE A TECHNICAL MEMO, WHICH IS IN YOUR PACKET WITH THE FINDINGS. 
          AND THEN ULTIMATELY, THE LAST ITEM IN OUR SCOPE WAS TO PREVENT THE. 
          THE FINDINGS TO COUNCIL. SO JUST A VERY QUICK REVIEW OF WHAT THE CITY HAS. 
          I'M NOT GOING TO GO INTO DETAIL BECAUSE YOUR STAFF AND YOU ARE MUCH MORE FAMILIAR WITH
THIS THAN I AM, BUT JUST LOOKING AT WHAT THE CITY ALREADY HAS IN PLACE. 
          YOU HAVE YOUR WATER CONSERVATION, YOUR DROUGHT CONTINGENCY PLAN. 
          AS I WAS DRAWING DRIVING IN, I NOTICED ALL THE SIGNAGE ABOUT YOUR VARIOUS WATERING
RESTRICTIONS BEING VERY PROACTIVE THERE. 
          YOU DO HAVE RESTRICTIONS ON WATERWAYS AND DIFFERENT ABILITIES FOR THE CITY TO ENFORCE
THAT. 
          [00:20:03]
AGAIN, I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS IN DETAIL AS MOST OF YOU ARE VERY FAMILIAR,
BUT FOLLOWING KIND OF THE REGIONAL OUTLINE OF THREE STAGES WITH DIFFERENT LEVELS OF WATERING RESTRICTIONS IN EACH OF THOSE STAGES. 
          ALSO, WE LOOKED AT YOUR SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE AND ZONING ORDINANCES. 
          AND WITHIN THOSE OPPORTUNITIES FOR WATER CONSERVATION,
WHETHER THAT BE REQUIREMENTS ON TURF AND COMMON AREAS, OR OPEN SPACE AND LANDSCAPE BUFFERS. AND THE CITY DOES HAVE AN APPROVED PLANT LIST THAT WE
LOOKED AT AND ALSO COMPARE IT AGAINST THE BENCHMARK CITIES. 
          WE ALSO LOOKED AT THE MEDIAN LANDSCAPE AND IRRIGATION REQUIREMENTS,
UNDERSTANDING THAT THE MEDIAN GUIDELINES WERE BEING UPDATED. 
          SO WE DID REVIEW THOSE. AND THEN ALSO TO NOTE SOMETHING. 
          THE CITY HAS A SECTION IN YOUR ORDINANCES FOR REUSE,
BUT IT'S CURRENTLY MARKED AS RESERVED. 
          SO YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY OUTLINED REQUIREMENTS FOR REUSE IN THE CITY. 
          SO THAT IS ONE AREA OF OPPORTUNITY THAT WE DID IDENTIFY IN SOME OF THE BENCHMARK CITIES,
THAT THEY DO HAVE A REUSE PROGRAM AND VERY SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS, DESIGN REQUIREMENTS FOR REUSE. SO SOME OF THOSE DEMAND DRIVERS,
AND I'M SURE YOU ARE WELL AWARE THAT ONE OF THE BIGGEST DEMAND DRIVERS IS OUTDOOR IRRIGATION, ESPECIALLY OF LANDSCAPING,
BUT CERTAIN OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS. 
          WE LOOKED AT LANDSCAPE AND BUFFERS AROUND AROUND TREES AND DENSITY OF TREES,
THE TURF AND MEDIANS, AND THEN SOME OF THOSE AROUND AMENITY SPACE AND TURF PERCENTAGE. 
          SO NOT HAVING A CAP ON THE AMOUNT OF TURF ALLOWED. 
          SO THE BENCHMARK CITIES WE LOOKED AT, WE LOOKED AT THREE IN THE METROPLEX,
DENTON, FRISCO, MCKINNEY, WE LOOKED AT THREE OTHERS IN TEXAS,
AUSTIN, CEDAR PARK, SAN ANTONIO. 
          AND THEN WE LOOKED EVEN FARTHER ABROAD. DENVER,
EAST BAY MUD, WHICH IS IN THE BAY AREA IN CALIFORNIA AND LAS VEGAS. 
          AND SO THIS IS JUST A SIMPLE GRAPHIC WE DEVELOPED TO KIND OF SHOW COMPARING EACH OF THEM
TOGETHER IN A TABLE, HOW PROGRESSIVE OR RESTRICTIVE THEIR PROGRAMS ARE. 
          THE CITY OF SALINA IS GENERALLY ON PAR WITH OTHER COMMUNITIES WITHIN THE DFW METROPLEX. 
          BUT AS YOU GO BROADER TO SAN ANTONIO AND AUSTIN,
THEY GET MORE PROGRESSIVE ON THEIR RESTRICTIONS. 
          AND THEN AS YOU GO OUT TO DENVER, EAST BAY, MUD AND LAS VEGAS,
THEY EVEN GET MORE RESTRICTIVE. 
          AND WE GENERALLY CLASSIFY THESE IN FOUR CATEGORIES DEVELOPMENT,
LANDSCAPE, IRRIGATION AND REUSE. 
          SO THESE ARE IN YOUR PACKET. I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THESE IN DETAIL,
BUT THEY JUST KIND OF HIT ON SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS FOR EACH OF THOSE OF WHAT THEY'RE DOING FOR EXAMPLES IN EACH OF THOSE CATEGORIES. 
          THESE ARE THE ONES FOR DFW. AGAIN, SALINA IS RELATIVELY ON PAR WITH THE OTHER COMMUNITIES
IN THE DFW METROPLEX. 
          AS YOU GET WIDER AND BROADER, YOU GO TO SAN ANTONIO,
AUSTIN. 
          THEY DO GET MORE RESTRICTIVE ON THE AMOUNT OF LANDSCAPE,
THE AMOUNT OF TURF REUSE, AND EVEN SOME OF THE DEVELOPMENT THAT IS ALLOWED WITHIN THOSE COMMUNITIES. AND THEN, AS YOU WOULD EXPECT, AS YOU GO BROADER TO DENVER,
CALIFORNIA, AND LAS VEGAS, THEY GET EVEN MORE RESTRICTIVE. LAS VEGAS AND THE CALIFORNIA AREA BEING VERY RESTRICTIVE,
SOME OF THEM LIMITING THE AMOUNT OF TURF, SOME OF THEM PROHIBITING TURF ENTIRELY WHAT THEY CALL FUNCTIONAL OR NONFUNCTIONAL TURF AND
EVEN LIMITING SPRAY IRRIGATION. 
          SO THAT'S JUST KIND OF THE WHOLE RANGE THAT COUNCIL HAS BEFORE IT. 
          AND I'LL WALK THROUGH SOME OF OUR RECOMMENDATIONS. 
          SO WE BROKE THESE UP ALONG THE LINES OF SINGLE FAMILY HOA AND COMMERCIAL AND KIND OF
AGAIN, ALONG THAT RANGE BECAUSE UP TO COUNCIL, THE LEVEL THAT YOU WANT TO GO TO FROM LEAST
STRINGENT TO, TO MOST STRINGENT THE MOST STRINGENT WOULD BE A BAN ON NONFUNCTIONAL TURF,
WHICH WOULD BE NOT ALLOWING TURF EXCEPT IN PARKS COMMON AREAS OR SPORTS FIELDS. AND THAT IS A DEFINITION THAT I PUT HERE FROM,
LAS VEGAS. 
          THEY ALSO IN THAT CASE DO NOT ALLOW IRRIGATION OF SAID NONFUNCTIONAL TURF. 
          YOU, YOU YOU CAN STILL HAVE TURF IN SOME SITUATIONS,
BUT IT CANNOT BE IRRIGATED. 
          THEN THERE ARE IN THE MIDDLE THERE LOOKING AT THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAYBE LIMIT OR PUT A CAP
ON THAT AMOUNT FOR RESIDENTIAL, BANNING IT IN SMALL AREAS WHERE YOU HAVE POTENTIAL LOSS OR WASTE. 
          AND THEN KIND OF THE, THE LESS STRINGENT CATEGORY AS WELL. 
          SIMILARLY, LOOKING AT COMMERCIAL MULTIFAMILY,
AGAIN, GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT THERE, THE MOST STRINGENT WATER BUDGETS. SO SETTING HOW MUCH A FACILITY SHOULD USE BASED ON ITS
TYPE WHAT, 
          [00:25:03]
WHAT OCCUPANCY IT HAS AGAIN, LIMITING THE TURF AND THE SPRAY IRRIGATION AND EVEN PROVIDING
INCENTIVE INCENTIVES FOR ON SITE REUSE. 
          AND THEN GOING ALL THE WAY AGAIN ACROSS THAT SPECTRUM TO THE LESS STRINGENT OPTIONS THAT
COUNCIL COULD APPROVE. 
          AND THEN AGAIN FOR HOAS. AGAIN, A MAJOR USE OF WATER,
ESPECIALLY IN SOME OF THOSE COMMON AREAS, THE MEDIANS WITHIN THOSE HOAS, AGAIN, LOOKING AT WATER BUDGETS. 
          BANNING NONFUNCTIONAL TURF, BANNING SPRAY IRRIGATION AND ON SITE REUSE WOULD BE THE FAR
END OF THE SPECTRUM. 
          AND THEN YOU CAN SEE WHAT'S ON THE OTHER END OF THE SPECTRUM FOR THE LESS STRINGENT. 
          ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY THAT I WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT TO COUNCIL IS ALSO CONSIDERING LOOKING AT
YOUR DROUGHT STAGES. 
          WHILE GENERALLY IN, IN COMPARABLE STAGES TO THE REST OF THE COMMUNITIES,
WE DID SEE SOME OF THE COMMUNITIES IN OUR BENCHMARKING CITIES THAT WERE MORE STRINGENT. ONE OPPORTUNITY WOULD BE SHIFT EVERYTHING BASICALLY UP A STAGE. 
          SO STAGE ONE WOULD BE ONCE PER WEEK. WATERING STAGE TWO WOULD EITHER BE ONCE EVERY OTHER
WEEK OR ONCE PER WEEK, BUT WITH A REDUCED HOURS WATERING AND THEN STAGE THREE,
NO IRRIGATION. 
          AND THEN SOME COMMUNITIES ALSO ALLOW FOR RATE INCREASES OR SURCHARGES THAT ARE ADDED ON
AND THOSE MORE STRINGENT DROUGHT STAGES. 
          AND I ALSO PUT UP THERE FROM SOME OF OUR ANALYSIS,
THE RELATIVE SAVINGS THAT THOSE COULD PROVIDE DURING DURING A DROUGHT PERIOD. 
          AND I WILL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS NOW OR LET DUSTY COME UP AND OKAY,
I WILL TAKE QUESTIONS NOW IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS YOUR ONE POINT ON THE REUSE OF WATER YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT LIKE,
LIKE RAIN BARRELS, CATCH AND WATER AND THAT TYPE OF STUFF. 
          IT COULD BE, IT COULD BE RAIN BARRELS. ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY IS LIKE CONDENSATE BLOW DOWN
FROM COOLING TOWERS OR AC UNITS, COLLECTING THAT AND USING THAT ON SITE, YOU COULD GO AS FAR AS GRAY WATER WHERE YOU CAN
EVEN COLLECT CERTAIN WATER FROM CERTAIN CERTAIN I GUESS CERTAIN FIXTURES IN THE HOUSE AND USE THAT AS WELL. 
          BUT THAT USUALLY REQUIRES DUAL PLUMBING AND A LOT OF OTHER THINGS. 
          SO I WOULD SAY, YEAH, PROBABLY MOSTLY THE RAIN BARRELS,
THE CONDENSATE REUSE WOULD BE THE ONSITE FRISCO ALSO AS A VERY PROACTIVE PURPLE PIPE PROGRAM, WHICH IS ONE OF THE COMMUNITIES WE DID BENCHMARKING AGAINST. 
          THEY DO THAT TO OFFSET SOME OF THEIR SPORTS FIELDS,
GOLF COURSES AND USING THAT NON POTABLE WATER INSTEAD OF USING DRINKING WATER. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU TO THE FREESE AND NICHOLS FOR THEIR PRESENTATION. STAFF AT THIS TIME IS GOING TO
GO THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE PRESENTATION AND ASK FOR SPECIFIC FEEDBACK FROM THE COUNCIL, INDIVIDUALLY OR COLLECTIVELY. EVEN IF THE RESULTS ARE MIXED,
THE FEEDBACK WILL BE WILL BE PROPER BECAUSE AFTER THE PRESENT, AFTER THE PRESENTATION CONCLUDES, STAFF WILL BE PREPARING DRAFT REDLINE ORDINANCES TO
REVISE ORDINANCES. 
          BASED UPON THE FEEDBACK FROM THE CITY COUNCIL THIS EVENING. 
          WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR SPECIFICALLY IS DIRECTION ON DEVELOPMENT RELATED ITEMS. SOME OF THE THINGS DISCUSSED WITHIN THE CONSULTANT'S FINDINGS,
SUCH AS THE DROUGHT STAGES AND WATER BUDGETS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. 
          THOSE ITEMS CAN BE DISCUSSED AT A LATER TIME. 
          BUT TONIGHT, SPECIFICALLY, WE'RE ASKING TO FOCUS ON THE DEVELOPMENT RELATED ASPECTS OF OF
THE WATER TOPIC THAT'S ONGOING FOR SALINA. 
          SO TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION AND WANT TO START WITH KIND OF A BASELINE UNDERSTANDING,
WE USE THE TERM XERISCAPE. 
          THIS IS A RUDIMENTARY OVERSIMPLIFICATION OF A DESCRIPTION OF XERISCAPE. 
          BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING, IT REPLACES IRRIGATED TURF GRASS WITH DECORATIVE AGGREGATE
OPTIONS, WHICH IS, AS THE CONSULTANTS MENTIONED EARLIER,
A BAN ON NONFUNCTIONAL TURF GRASS. 
          THAT IS THE VERY THING THAT WAS ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL WITH THE CITY'S ROADWAY
MEDIANS JUST LAST MONTH. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES, IT'S NOT NECESSARILY ANY LESS LANDSCAPING. 
          YOU STILL HAVE QUALITY TREES. YOU STILL HAVE QUALITY SHRUBBERY BECAUSE TREES IN THE
SHRUBBERY ARE ALREADY IRRIGATED BY TODAY AT LEAST ARE IRRIGATED BY BASICALLY IRRIGATION FIXTURES THAT ARE CONSIDERED DROUGHT TOLERANT BUBBLERS
ON TREES AND DRIP LINE IRRIGATION, DRIP LINE IRRIGATION, SUCH AS THE AROUND YOUR FOUNDATIONS. 
          THOSE ARE NATURAL OR EXPRESS EXEMPTIONS TO MOST IRRIGATION RESTRICTIONS. 
          [00:30:02]
SO AGAIN, IT'S NOT NECESSARILY ANY FEWER TREES OR SHRUBS,
BUT WHAT REALLY USES MOST OF THE WATER AS THE GRASS. 
          SO WHAT? WHAT OPTIONS BESIDES IRRIGATED GRASS DOES THE CITY HAVE? AND THAT'S WHAT THE. THAT'S WHAT THE XERISCAPE REGULATIONS WOULD DO. 
          SO AS WE GO THROUGH THIS PRESENTATION ASKING FOR FEEDBACK,
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SPEAKING ABOUT THE REPLACEMENT OF IRRIGATED GRASS WITH ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS. SO WE HAD THIS CONVERSATION WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION LAST MONTH IN
JUNE. 
          THEIR GENERAL OVERVIEW FEEDBACK IS THAT THEY DID NOT BELIEVE SOLANA SHOULD VARY TOO FAR
FROM REGIONAL STANDARD ON THIS TOPIC. 
          THEY SHARED CONCERNS ABOUT THE COST OF IMPLEMENTING XERISCAPE DESIGN STANDARDS. 
          THEY ALSO WANTED TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE TREE AND SHRUB LIST SHOULD BE REVISED TO
POTENTIALLY ELIMINATE WATER THIRSTY OR DEPENDENT PLANTS SUCH AS MAGNOLIAS OR HOLLIES. IF BUBBLERS AND DRIP IRRIGATION ARE ALREADY BEING USED THEY WANTED
THEY DID NOT BELIEVE WE SHOULD REDUCE THE NUMBER OF TREES OR SHRUBS REQUIRED ON NEW DEVELOPMENT,
BECAUSE AGAIN, THEY ARE BEING BEING WATERED BY WATER CONSCIOUS IRRIGATION SYSTEMS. ONE NOTED THAT THE MODERN IRRIGATION REGULATIONS REQUIRED BY THE TEXAS COMMISSION ON
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY THEY ALREADY DO A GOOD JOB. 
          THE STATE REGULATIONS THEY HAVE REGULATIONS,
FOR EXAMPLE, ON SMART CONTROLLERS, ON IRRIGATION TO ME TO REQUIRE MULTIPLE ZONES FOR IRRIGATION, YOU KNOW, FREEZE AND RAIN SENSORS,
THINGS OF THAT NATURE. 
          AND ALSO NOTED THAT OTHER REGIONS OF THE UNITED STATES WAITED UNTIL THEY HAD TO MAKE
CHANGES BEFORE THEY MADE SWEEPING CHANGES. 
          WHAT DOES THAT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, BY THE WAY? THAT WAS OTHER REGIONS WAIT UNTIL THEY HAD TO MAKE CHANGES BEFORE MAKING CHANGES. 
          IS THAT A SUGGESTION OR WHAT IS? I THINK THEY NOTED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WORSE BEFORE THEY
TRY TO ATTEMPT CHANGES. INSTEAD OF I WAS JUST CURIOUS, IS THAT A SUGGESTION THAT WE SHOULD WAIT LONGER OR
ARE THERE SAYING LIKE, NOW'S THE TIME BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY REACHED STAGE TWO RESTRICTIONS? IT WAS MORE IT WAS MORE OF A NOTATION. IT WASN'T THAT THE CITY NEEDS TO WAIT UNTIL THE
SITUATION IS URGENCY, BUT IT WAS NOTED. SO HOW MUCH OF A SUGGESTION IS KIND OF I MEAN,
IS MORE DISCUSSION RELATED. 
          BUT IT WAS A NOTATION. IN TERMS OF NEIGHBORHOODS,
BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE GETTING INTO SPECIFIC AREAS WHERE XERISCAPE REGULATIONS SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT APPLY. THE COMMISSION BELIEVED THAT ALL AREAS,
INCLUDING ROAD PARKWAYS, SHOULD BE EXEMPT FROM XERISCAPE REGULATION AND REMAIN AS IS. THEY THOUGHT THAT NEIGHBORHOODS WITH EXISTING ESTABLISHED BRANDING SHOULD BE
EXEMPT. 
          THEY WEREN'T IN FAVOR OF REGULATORY CHANGES TO SINGLE FAMILY HOMES OR NEIGHBORHOODS,
AND THEY DID NOT WANT TO REDUCE LANDSCAPE BUFFERS OR SIDEWALK WIDTHS ALONG THE ROADWAYS. 
          THEY DID, HOWEVER, VOICE SUPPORT AND AGREEABLE TO CITY PROJECTS ABIDING BY XERISCAPE
REGULATIONS. 
          ALSO COMMERCIAL PROJECTS. THEY WERE FINE WITH FUTURE COMMERCIAL PROJECTS FOLLOWING
XERISCAPE DESIGN. 
          THEY ENCOURAGE MORE ADDITIONAL EDUCATION AND OUTREACH AND WATER CONSERVATION. 
          THEY BELIEVE THAT FUTURE MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITIES SHOULD BE COMPELLED TO IRRIGATE FROM
ALTERNATIVE WATER SOURCES, SUCH AS WELLS AND PONDS. THE CHALLENGE, OF COURSE,
IS, IS THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU GO TO THE BOARD TO ASK FOR, YOU KNOW, WELL, CAPACITY AS WE KNOW THAT WOULD IS SOMEWHAT LIMITED THESE DAYS. 
          THOSE REQUESTS TO TAP THE AQUIFER ARE BECOMING MORE,
MORE RESTRICTIVE IN NATURE. 
          SO THAT'S NOT ALWAYS NECESSARILY A GUARANTEED OPTION. 
          THERE ARE, YOU KNOW, SOMEWHAT AGREEABLE TO THE OPTION OF NON-IRRIGATED GRASS. 
          LET'S PUT GRASS OUT THERE AND JUST NOT WATER IT THAT WAY. 
          WE'RE NOT WASTING WATER. IT MAY LOOK BAD, BUT IT'S AN OPTION. 
          BUT THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE TEMPORARY IRRIGATION WAS PERMITTED FOR ESTABLISHMENT. 
          THEY WERE NOT SUPPORTIVE OF CHANGING THE EXISTING ARTIFICIAL TURF REGULATIONS OF THE CITY. 
          TODAY YOU CAN DO ARTIFICIAL TURF IN THE BACKYARDS. 
          ANYTHING THAT'S NOT IN THE FRONT YARD, ESSENTIALLY. 
          AND THEY, THEY INDICATED THEY SUPPORTED THE EXISTING REGULATIONS ON THAT. 
          WE ALSO PULLED THE DEVELOPER AND BUILDER COMMUNITIES. 
          EACH QUARTER, WE HOST A FORUM WITH THE BUILDER COMMUNITIES AND THE DEVELOPER COMMUNITIES. 
          THOSE ARE SEPARATE COMMUNITIES. THE BUILDERS ARE THE HOMEBUILDERS. 
          AND WE USUALLY HAVE A VERY LARGE TURNOUT OF HOME BUILDERS. 
          DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. 
          SO WE HAVE QUARTERLY FORUMS WITH EACH. WE HAVE BEEN PLUGGING THE WATER CONSERVATION
DISCUSSION TOPIC FOR OVER A YEAR NOW WITH THOSE AT THOSE FORUMS. 
          [00:35:05]
WE ALSO MENTIONED THIS, AT LEAST THE PAST 2 OR 3 MEETINGS,
THAT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A SURVEY THAT GOES OUT AND WE WANTED THERE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THEIR VOICE HEARD. AND THEY, YOU KNOW, SO THE SURVEY WENT OUT IN JUNE OVER 300
RECEIVED YOU KNOW, RECIPIENTS AND 17 PARTICIPATED AND EIGHT UNSUBSCRIBED FROM THE EMAIL LIST. 
          SO HOWEVER RESPONDENTS DID, WE, WE WANTED TO DISCUSS THE SURVEY RESULTS. 
          RESPONDENTS DID MENTION THAT THEY WANTED TO KIND OF KEEP THE STATUS QUO. 
          THE STATUS QUO, OF COURSE, IS GRASS IRRIGATION. 
          THAT'S THE, THAT'S JUST THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THIS REGION. 
          THEY WANTED NO CHANGES, SO TO SPEAK. THEY WERE GENERALLY OPEN TO POTENTIALLY REVISING THE
CITY'S PLANT LIST. 
          IT'S KIND OF HARD TO GET A CONSENSUS BECAUSE OUT OF THE RESPONDENTS,
IT WAS 12%, YOU KNOW, 18%. THERE WASN'T REALLY STRONG CONSENSUS ON MANY OF THESE TOPICS. 
          HOWEVER, THEY DID FEEL IT WAS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN EXEMPTIONS FOR DRIP
IRRIGATION AND BUBBLERS. 
          THEY BELIEVE THOSE ARE VERY WATER CONSCIOUS IRRIGATION SYSTEMS,
IMPORTANT TO FOUNDATIONS AND TO ENSURE THE ABILITY FOR TREES TO MATURE. 
          AND TREES, OF COURSE, ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO PROPERTY VALUES. 
          THEIR PRIMARY CONCERN WITH XERISCAPE DESIGN WOULD BE THE ABILITY TO SELL HOMES. 
          THEY THOUGHT THE MARKET RECEPTION OF IS UNKNOWN. 
          THEY ALSO HAD ADDITIONAL CONCERNS ON THE COST TO INSTALL ONGOING MAINTENANCE AND GENERAL
IMPLEMENTATION CHALLENGES FOR BOTH CITY STAFF AND DEVELOPERS. 
          THE RESPONDENTS BELIEVED THAT SOLANA'S EXISTING LANDSCAPE BUFFER AND SIDEWALK WIDTHS
SHOULD REMAIN IS THAT ONE WAS SOMEWHAT SURPRISING TO STAFF. 
          WE THOUGHT THAT MAY BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE IF. 
          SHOULD WE. SHOULD THESE LANDSCAPE BUFFERS BE REDUCED IN SIZE? THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY OR THOSE RESPONDING DID NOT INDICATE THAT WAS THE CASE. 
          THE PERIMETER ROADWAY LANDSCAPE BUFFERS. SO ON THE PERIMETERS OF YOUR ROADWAY COLLECTORS
AND ARTERIALS BETWEEN THE MASONRY WALL AND THE PAVEMENT THERE WAS BASICALLY SPLIT FEEDBACK ON SUPPORT FOR XERISCAPE. 
          THERE WAS SOME SUPPORT FOR XERISCAPE REQUIRING THOSE TO MATCH THE MEDIANS,
THE FUTURE MEDIANS TO BE XERISCAPE. 
          THERE'S ALSO SUPPORT FOR THERE TO BE THE STATUS QUO OF GRASS AND IRRIGATION. 
          THERE ARE NEAR UNANIMOUS FEEDBACK ON EXISTING MASTER PLAN. 
          COMMUNITIES SHOULD BE BASICALLY ABLE TO CONTINUE THEIR EXISTING PATTERN OF DEVELOPMENT. 
          TO BE FAIR, A LOT OF THESE COMMUNITIES ARE 15 YEAR BUILD OUTS. 
          SO SOME SUCH AS LIKE MUSTANG LAKES WOULD HAVE A BIG CHALLENGE,
YOU KNOW, CHANGING COURSE. 
          SO THE FEEDBACK ESSENTIALLY SAID THAT ONLY NEW COMMUNITIES NOT YET STARTED AND WITHOUT AN
ALTERNATIVE WATER SOURCE, SHOULD BE COMPELLED TO DESIGN WITH XERISCAPE OPTIONS ALONG PERIMETER ROADWAYS. 
          THAT'S THE DEVELOPER FEEDBACK. THEY DEFINITELY DID NOT WANT TO TOUCH SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. 
          THEY WERE NOT IN. WE ASKED, YOU KNOW, WHAT ABOUT NON-IRRIGATED GRASS GROUND COVER? HOW ABOUT WE JUST, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF PARKS IN THE REGION THAT JUST AREN'T
IRRIGATED AND THEY HAVE GRASS MAY NOT LOOK GOOD, BUT THEY HAVE IT. THEY WERE NOT IN FAVOR OF THAT. 
          THEY WERE OKAY FOR SOME DECORATIVE AGGREGATE OPTIONS REPLACING GRASS,
BUT NOT OKAY WITH REQUIRING IT. 
          SO AGAIN, ALLOWING FOR IT, WHICH WE DO TODAY BY ORDINANCE IS ALLOWED,
BUT IT'S NOT REQUIRED. 
          THEY ALSO THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE OKAY WITH ARTIFICIAL TURF IN THE BACKYARD,
WHICH IS AGAIN, OUR CURRENT STANDARD. THEY'RE NOT SUPPORTIVE OF IT AND BEING IN THE FRONT YARDS. 
          SO WITH THAT, THAT'S THE FEEDBACK FROM P AND Z AND THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY. 
          HOWEVER, THIS EVENING WE'RE HOPING TO RECEIVE FEEDBACK FROM THE CITY COUNCIL. SO SOME OF
THESE QUESTIONS WE'RE GOING TO ASK, AND I'LL PAUSE ON EACH SLIDE TO SEE WHAT THE FEEDBACK IS. 
          SO THE FIRST QUESTION IS SHOULD DRIP IRRIGATION AND TREE BUBBLERS CONTINUE TO BE
SITUATIONAL EXCEPTIONS TO OUTDOOR WATERING RESTRICTIONS? THE SECOND ONE WOULD BE IS SHOULD THE CITY'S APPROVED PLANT LIST BE REVISED TO REMOVE
WATER DEPENDENT OPTIONS SUCH AS MAGNOLIAS AND HOLLIES. 
          AND SHOULD THE CITY REDUCE THE CURRENT WIDTHS REQUIRED FOR ROADWAY LANDSCAPE BUFFERS AND
SIDEWALKS? IF THERE'S ANY FEEDBACK ON THOSE THREE QUESTIONS,
STAFF WOULD. 
          NOW IS THE TIME TO DISCUSS THAT. QUESTIONS? DUSTY,
CAN YOU JUST CLARIFY THE FIRST QUESTION? I'M NOT SURE WHAT WHAT YOU'RE ASKING EXACTLY. 
          TODAY. TREES REQUIRE BUBBLERS. THE BUBBLERS ARE AN EXEMPTION THROUGHOUT THE WATER. 
          OUR WATER CONSERVATION PLANS, BECAUSE THEY KEEP,
THEY GENERATE ENOUGH WATER TO KEEP A TREE ALIVE. 
          [00:40:04]
BUT IT'S NOT WASTEFUL AMOUNTS OF WATER. IT'S A VERY TARGETED WATER TO THE ROOT ZONE. 
          SO THE QUESTION IS THE CONSULTANTS RAISED IT. 
          SHOULD WE YOU KNOW, SHOULD BUBBLERS BE RESTRICTED IN ADDITION TO SPRAY HEADS ON GRASS? AND SO THE FEEDBACK FROM PNC AND DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY WAS TO KEEP BUBBLERS AS AN OPTION
FOR TREES, BECAUSE THAT'S HOW YOU KEEP THEM ALIVE IN TEXAS. 
          SO THAT'S THE QUESTION WE'RE ASKING COUNCIL TONIGHT. 
          IS THERE STILL SUPPORT TO HAVE BUBBLERS AND DRIP IRRIGATION? YEAH, I THINK THAT MAKES SENSE. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU KEEP THE PLANTS ALIVE OTHERWISE. 
          I MEAN, THE SPRAY HEADS FOR GRASS IS WHAT USES ALL THE WATER. 
          SO THE BUBBLERS AND DRIP LINES MAKE TOTAL SENSE TO ME. 
          I AGREE, I AGREE WITH WITH REGARD TO THE BUBBLERS. 
          JUST TO CONTINUE TO BE, AS IT STATED, THE SITUATIONAL EXCEPTIONS TO THE OUTDOOR WATERING
RESTRICTIONS. 
          I DON'T SEE A PROBLEM EITHER WITH MODIFYING THE APPROVED TREE LIST,
IF THAT'S WHAT WE'RE CALLING IT. 
          TWO ONES THAT ARE LESS DEPENDENT OR THAT DON'T SOAK UP AS MUCH WATER. 
          BUT MY QUESTION ON THE LAST ONE IS IF WE NARROW THE SIDEWALKS,
AREN'T WE THEN ASKING FOR MORE? YES, BUT LANDSCAPING TO FILL IT? YES. SO NO. OKAY. 
          THE SLIDE ONE. WHAT IS THAT? TO THAT POINT ON THE LAST ONE,
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT BUFFERS. 
          WE'RE ABOUT 40 FOOT BUFFER, RIGHT? AND THEN YOU HAVE A FIVE FOOT EIGHT FOOT SIDEWALK,
SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          LIKE WHAT IS THE SPECIFIC REQUEST ON THE LAST QUESTION? LIKE REAL WORLD APPLICATION? YEAH. SO FOR EXAMPLE,
ON, ON YOUR SIX LANE DIVIDED ARTERIALS, THAT WOULD BE THE ULTIMATE OF WIDTH OF PRESTON. 
          SO THREE LANES IN EACH DIRECTION. OWENS B PARKWAY. 
          ULTIMATE WIDTH. SOMEDAY WE DO REQUIRE A 40 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER ON EITHER SIDE OF THE
ROADWAY WITH AN ACCOMPANYING TEN FOOT SIDEWALK. 
          SO THE QUESTION WAS POSED TO PNC AND THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY. 
          AND NOW THIS EVENING, THE COUNCIL. IS THERE ANY SUPPORT IN REDUCING THE REQUIRED WIDTHS OF
THOSE? BECAUSE IT WOULD POTENTIALLY REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF LANDSCAPING REQUIRED AND JUST BE A
SMALLER AREA TO, TO DEAL WITH. AND IN THAT EXAMPLE, TAKING THAT 30 OR 40,
WOULD YOU SAY A 40 FOOT BUFFER ON SIX LANES IS 40 ON SMALLER? THAT'S ABOUT AS BIG AS THE BUFFER THAT WOULD BE BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF REDUCING
THE SIDEWALKS, BUT IS, IS REDUCING IT FROM 40 TO 30 5 OR 30. 
          IS IT MAKE AN APPRECIABLE DIFFERENCE FROM A WATER PERSPECTIVE? THAT DEPENDS UPON THE ULTIMATE FEEDBACK WE RECEIVE FROM COUNCIL ON THE DESIGN GUIDELINES. 
          IF IRRIGATED GRASS IS STILL THE PREFERRED OPTION FOR ROADWAY BUFFERS. 
          THEN THAT THAT WILL BE MORE ACREAGE OVERALL TO IRRIGATE OVER LONG TERM. 
          YEAH. BUT ENGINEERING ALSO DOES RELY UPON THE LANDSCAPE BUFFERS FOR WATER LINES AND SEWER
LINES AND THE ABILITY TO LOCATE CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          THE ROAD. YEAH, YEAH. SO THE BUILDINGS RIGHT ON,
ON TOP OF THE ROAD. 
          BUT THAT WOULD BE A TIME FOR WHEN WE SAY YOU NEED MORE ROCKS THERE THAN GRASS. 
          YES. AND KEEP THE BUILDINGS AWAY FROM THE ROAD. 
          RIGHT. AND LEAVE THE SIDEWALKS ALONE. SIMILARLY SIZED BUFFER,
BUT MAYBE WITH LESS IRRITATING IRRIGATED GRASS. 
          RIGHT. THOSE OPTIONS ARE UPCOMING IN THE PRESENTATION. 
          OKAY. YEAH. YEAH, I THINK, I THINK I LOOK AT IT LIKE HOW,
HOW DO WE REDUCE THAT DEPENDENCY BY 25, 50%, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. HOWEVER THAT'S ACCOMPLISHED. 
          OKAY. WE'RE STARTING WITH SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. 
          WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO COMMERCIAL AREAS. WE'RE GOING TO END WITH HOA AREAS,
THE LANDSCAPE BUFFERS IN PARTICULAR, BECAUSE THAT'S KIND OF PROBABLY WHERE WE ANTICIPATE MORE SPLIT FEEDBACK. 
          SO WE'LL START WITH SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. SO SHOULD THE CITY ALLOW FOR AND HERE ARE JUST
THE OPTIONS THAT WE HAVE. 
          ONCE WE KIND OF BOIL DOWN THE XERISCAPE REGULATIONS,
THESE ARE THE OPTIONS ON THE TABLE. 
          SO SHOULD THE CITY ALLOW FOR UNLIMITED XERISCAPE DESIGN AND FRONT AND BACK YARDS OF SINGLE
FAMILY HOMES? TODAY THERE IS A MAXIMUM SET ESTABLISHED BY ORDINANCE 30%. 
          YOU CAN'T DO MORE THAN 30%. SO I MEAN, THERE'S A PROBLEM CLEARLY WITH TODAY'S ORDINANCE. 
          BUT SHOULD WE ALLOW FOR THAT? THE NEXT QUESTION WOULD BE SHOULD THE CITY ALLOW FOR
NON-IRRIGATED GRASS IN THE FRONT AND BACKYARDS OF SINGLE FAMILY HOMES TODAY? IRRIGATION SYSTEMS ARE REQUIRED. AND THEN SHOULD,
YOU KNOW, SHOULD THE CITY REQUIRE XERISCAPE DESIGN IN THE FRONT AND BACKYARDS OF SINGLE FAMILY HOMES? TODAY IT'S AGAIN LIMITED TO 30%. 
          AND SHOULD THE CITY ALLOW FOR ARTIFICIAL TURF IN THE FRONT YARDS OF SINGLE FAMILY HOMES
TODAY, IT'S ONLY ALLOWED IN THE BACKYARDS OR BEHIND FENCES. 
          SO THESE ARE KIND OF THE QUESTIONS DEALING WITH SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. 
          I THINK FOR THE FEEDBACK FROM THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY AND PNC WAS THAT SINGLE FAMILY
HOMES ARE PROBABLY MORE SACRED IN TERMS OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS. 
          BUT THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS WE HAVE IS WHAT,
WHAT LEVEL OF XERISCAPE DO WE WANT TO MAKE COMPULSORY OR JUST ALLOW BY ORDINANCE? 
          [00:45:08]
I LIKE THE IDEA ON THE FIRST BULLET POINT TO AT LEAST ALLOW IT. 
          I MEAN, WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT MOVE HERE FROM THE WEST COAST AND IT'S,
IT'S NORMAL TO HAVE XERISCAPE. 
          SO TO ME AT LEAST, HAVING IT AS AN OPTION IF THEY WANT TO DO THEIR WHOLE YARD THAT WAY,
SO BE IT. 
          WHY IS IT NOT AN OPTION? THAT JUST SEEMS LIKE A JUMP FROM 30% TO UNLIMITED. 
          AS IT WAS, IT LOOKED AT MAYBE A GRADUAL, MAYBE 60. 
          I MEAN, I'M JUST, IT JUST, IT'S, IT'S ALL THE WAY TO UNLIMITED FROM THAT STANDPOINT IS
QUICKER AND EASIER. 
          JUST NOT REGULATE IT JUST I MEAN, ME. FROM WHAT STANDPOINT? ANY ANY PERCENTAGE BASED STANDARD WOULD BE RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE TO ALLOCATE TO CALCULATE
IT AND THEN ENFORCE IT. 
          AND THEN IF SOMEONE GOES OVER IT BY 10%, I MEAN IT,
IT, YOU KNOW, IF WE, IF WE WANT TO ALLOW FOR THE OPTION, I THINK WE SHOULD ALLOW FOR IT. IF, IF WE WANT TO KEEP IT AT 30% JUST TO LIMIT IT. 
          THAT'S, THAT'S THE CURRENT ORDINANCE. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S REALLY TAILORED TO TODAY'S
ENVIRONMENT VERY WELL. 
          THE MARKET JUST OUT ON THE NEXT ONE WHERE IT SAYS,
SHOULD THE CITY ALLOW FOR NON IRRIGATED GRASS, I THINK THE BETTER QUESTION IS SHOULD THE CITY REQUIRE PEOPLE TO PUT IN IRRIGATION
SYSTEMS, BECAUSE YOU COULD HAVE AN IRRIGATION SYSTEM AND STILL NOT USE IT. 
          AND SO I DON'T NECESSARILY LIKE THE IDEA OF REQUIRING SOMEONE WHEN THEY BUY A HOME,
THAT IT MUST COME WITH IRRIGATION IF THEY WANT IT, BUT MAYBE IT WOULD REDUCE THE COST AND YOU CAN STILL WATER YOUR GRASS,
BUT I DON'T I'M PERFECTLY FINE WITH NOT REQUIRING NEW HOMES TO, TO TO HAVE INSTALLED IRRIGATION SYSTEM AS A REQUIREMENT. 
          OKAY. I THINK GOING BACK TO ONE, THE CITY ALLOW FOR UNLIMITED XERISCAPE. 
          I THINK I'M GENERALLY OKAY WITH THAT. I THINK ABOUT THE APPLICABLE IMPLEMENTATION OF IT. 
          IF YOU LOOK AT SOMETHING DOWNTOWN VERSUS SOMEWHERE ELSE THAT DOES ESTATE LOTS,
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A 120 TO 200 FOOT WIDE LOT THAT'S GOING TO XERISCAPE THE ENTIRE THING. 
          BUT THE OPTION, I GUESS, IS THIS SOMETHING THAT IN TURN,
IF WE ALLOW FOR IT UNLIMITED, THEN IT COULD BE A PART OF THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, OR IT COULD BE A PART OF THE CORNERS, WHICH THEN IN TURN,
WE JUST WERE BASICALLY UNLOCKING IT. 
          BUT THEN WE ALLOW THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY ON THE SINGLE FAMILY SIDE TO THEN DICTATE,
YES, THIS MAY BE A A HIGHER END COMMUNITY, AND THEY WANT TO ABSORB THAT COST INTO THEIR PRODUCT
BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE HOME IS GOING TO BE SEVEN FIGURES. 
          THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. SO OBVIOUSLY SOLANA IS THE THE LARGEST THE LARGEST MAJORITY OF
SOLANA IS DEVELOPED UNDER WITH WITHIN MASTER PLAN COMMUNITIES THAT ALL HAVE THEIR OWN DEED RESTRICTIONS AND CCRS THAT REGULATE THE FINER
ASPECTS OF EACH HOME. 
          THE AREAS THAT ARE USUALLY NOT WITHIN A HOA ARE LIKE DOWNTOWN. 
          SOME OF THE OLDER ESTATE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS MAY NOT HAVE AN HOA EITHER. 
          SO THOSE TEND TO FALL BACK TO CITY REGULATIONS OR JUST STATE LAW. 
          BUT WITHIN HOA, THE HOA WILL HAVE THEIR OWN REGULATIONS THAT ARE POTENTIALLY DIFFERENT
FROM THE CITY'S. 
          SO THAT THAT THAT IS SOME SOMEWHAT MORE MARKET DRIVEN IN TERMS OF THAT. 
          I, I'M GENERALLY IN FAVOR OF THAT. AND THEN IT'S ALLOWED FOR NON IRRIGATED GRASS IN THE
FRONT AND BACKYARDS. 
          I THINK I PROBABLY DIFFER A LITTLE BIT FROM EDDIE. 
          I THINK THE BUYER IN THIS MARKET LIKELY IF, IF IT'S NOT PUT IN,
YOU LOOK AT THE COHESIVENESS OF IT. 
          WE GOT INTO THE DISCUSSION BEFORE OF OUR HIGH DESIGN STANDARDS THAT WE CARRY TODAY FROM
MASONRY AND EVERYTHING ELSE, AND I THINK A LOT OF THAT GOES INTO HOW OUR COMMUNITIES ARE DESIGNED FROM THE PLANT
PACKAGE THAT COMES IN FROM THAT TURF. 
          AND I THINK THOSE ESTHETICS MATTER A WHOLE LOT,
NOT NECESSARILY JUST FROM OF BEING VAIN PERSPECTIVE, BUT JUST FROM A COHESIVENESS ACROSS THE COMMUNITY OF,
OF WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE'RE GOING, JUST HOW MUCH IS ALREADY ON THE GROUND TODAY. 
          I THINK IT MAKES MORE SENSE TO HAVE AN IRRIGATION SYSTEM IN THERE,
WHETHER THEY USE IT OR NOT, BECAUSE THE BOTTOM LINE IS IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE AND YOU DO DECIDE TO WATER YOUR GRASS,
YOU'RE GOING TO USE SUBSTANTIALLY MORE WATER OUT THERE WITH THE HOSE OR THAT SPRAYER THING THAT GOES BACK AND FORTH VERSUS JUST HAVING YOUR SYSTEM HANDLE IT MORE EFFICIENTLY. SO I
THINK IT MAKES SENSE TO, YOU KNOW, REQUIRE IT RATHER PEOPLE USE IT OR NOT IS A SEPARATE ISSUE. 
          YEAH. IF I LOOK AT THIS LIST, I THINK THAT YOUR FIRST QUESTION HERE,
I THINK WE SHOULD ALLOW THEM TO HAVE UNLIMITED ZEROS IN THERE. 
          I THINK THERE'S NOT A PROBLEM AT ALL WITH THAT. 
          THE, THE REQUIREMENT FOR XERISCAPE IN THE FRONT AND BACKYARDS. 
          I ACTUALLY KIND OF LIKE THAT IDEA. MAYBE NOT ON EXISTING DEVELOPMENTS,
BUT ON ANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT WE HAVE COMING IN. 
          I THINK THAT'D BE A GREAT THING TO START PUTTING IN ON THAT. 
          AND THEN FOR THE ARTIFICIAL TURF IN THE FRONT BACKYARDS,
I'M TOTALLY FOR IT IN THE BACKYARDS. 
          [00:50:04]
I THINK I'M TOTALLY AGAINST IT IN THE FRONT YARDS. 
          RIGHT. YEAH. FOR BULLET POINT NUMBER THREE, I'M GOING TO FALL BACK ON MY EXPERIENCE FROM
FROM LIVING IN VEGAS FOR 20 YEARS. 
          SO WHEN THEY GOT SERIOUS ABOUT WATER CONSERVATION THERE,
THE FRONT YARDS WENT TO LIKE A 5050. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, TYPICALLY YOU'D HAVE ONE TREE IN YOUR FRONT YARD AND LIKE A LITTLE AREA OF
GRASS AROUND IT. 
          AND THE REST OF YOUR YARD WAS XERISCAPE. IT WAS 5050,
BUT PROBABLY MORE LIKE 8020. 
          BUT BACKYARD, YOU COULD DO WHATEVER YOU WANT. 
          SO IT MADE SENSE FROM THE STANDPOINT THAT YOU HAVE FAMILIES BUYING HOUSES AND STUFF. 
          YOU KNOW, THE KIDS AND WHATEVER ARE GOING TO DO STUFF IN THE BACKYARD. 
          SO IT KIND OF MADE SENSE TO HAVE GRASS BECAUSE PEOPLE USE IT. 
          I DON'T KNOW TOO MANY PEOPLE THAT USE THEIR FRONT YARD GRASS. 
          I MEAN, I DON'T I MOW IT AND THAT'S ABOUT IT. 
          SO TO ME, IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL. SO I, I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF REQUIRING XERISCAPE IN A
BACKYARD. 
          IT'S NICE FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE THE OPTION OF WHAT THEY WANT TO DO. THE FRONT YARD MAYBE
MAKES MAKES MORE SENSE. 
          I DON'T KNOW, 100% XERISCAPE TO START US OFF. 
          MAYBE WE DO 5050 AS A STARTER. YOU KNOW, WE REVISIT THIS IN A COUPLE OF YEARS OR WHATEVER, BUT I'M THAT'S NOT A HILL I'M GOING TO DIE ON. 
          ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. SO SOME MORE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. 
          SHOULD THE CITY REQUIRE XERISCAPE DESIGN FOR NEW COMMERCIAL AND MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT? YOU'VE BEEN SEEING THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY EMBRACE THESE OPTIONS MORE AND
MORE OVER THE PAST DECADE. 
          FOR EXAMPLE, THE NEW WALMART YOU SEE THERE, THEY'RE PARKING THE ISLANDS IN THEIR PARKING
LOT, THEY DECIDED TO ROCK. SO IN THE PICTURE BEFORE US,
THIS JUST OPENED IN APRIL. 
          YOU SEE THE TREE? THERE'S A BUBBLER ON THAT TREE. 
          THAT TREE WILL BE KEPT ALIVE BY THAT BUBBLER. 
          BUT WHAT IS NOT IN THAT PARKING ISLAND THAT IS,
IN THE VAST MAJORITY OF PARKING ISLANDS IN THE REGION, ARE SPRAY HEADS AT EVERY CORNER TO KEEP THE GRASS WITHIN THE ISLAND ALIVE,
BECAUSE THERE'S NOT GRASS IN THE ISLAND, SO THAT WATER IS NO LONGER BEING USED TO MAINTAIN GRASS THAT ULTIMATELY WON'T BE MOWED OR, YOU KNOW, WON'T BE IN A HEALTHY CONDITION IN THE FIRST PLACE. 
          SO THE QUESTION BEFORE COUNCIL WAS, SHOULD WE EXTEND XERISCAPE TO COMMERCIAL PLANNING AND
ZONING COMMISSION'S FEEDBACK WAS THAT THEY SAW NO, NO, THEY THEY HAD SOME CONCERNS, BUT THEY DIDN'T SEE BIG PROBLEMS WITH DOING THAT IN
GENERAL. 
          I THINK WE SHOULD. YEAH. YEAH. I THINK THIS IS A NO BRAINER. 
          DUSTY, JUST TO GIVE A REAL LIFE EXAMPLE. I MEAN,
IF YOU GO TO, TO, TO BERKSHIRES AND I LOVE BERKSHIRES, BUT I MEAN, IF YOU LOOK AT THE MEDIANS, YOU KNOW,
THE GRASS, THE GROUND IS FLATTENED, THE GRASS LOOKS HORRIBLE. 
          I MEAN, NO ONE'S REALLY TAKING CARE OF IT, RIGHT? WHEN YOU'VE GOT ROCKS,
I MEAN, THESE ROCKS ARE GONNA BE GOOD FOR A FEW MILLION YEARS. SO YOU KNOW, IT SHOULD BE OKAY, RIGHT? HOW DO YOU WHAT'S THE APPLICABLE ADOPTION TO THIS? I THINK ABOUT, OKAY, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ISLANDS WHERE PEOPLE PARK,
BUT WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE IN THAT LANDSCAPE BUFFER OFF OF MAJOR ROADWAYS, WHEN IN TURN, THIS IS I'M TRYING TO THE KNOX STREET APARTMENTS OFF OF OUTER LOOP. 
          WHAT IS THAT, 20FT, 40FT LOOK LIKE ADJACENT TO THE ROADWAY. 
          THAT'S THE UPCOMING SLIDES, THE PERIMETER ROADWAY LANDSCAPE BUFFERS. 
          OKAY, THAT'S THAT'S RIGHT ON TARGET. BUT SOME OF THE EXCEPTIONS,
OBVIOUSLY, I MEAN, THERE'S SOMETIMES THERE'S INFRASTRUCTURE, THINGS LIKE IN THIS PICTURE, FOR EXAMPLE, THERE'S A DETENTION POND IN THE BACK OF THE
PICTURE. 
          I MEAN, SOME THINGS THERE'S OTHER REGULATORY,
YOU KNOW, THERE'S HIGHER REGULATIONS FROM THE STATE OR FEDERAL LEVEL THAT ALREADY REGULATE THAT. SO SOMETIMES THERE MAY BE JUST AREAS THAT CAN'T HAVE FULL ROCK,
BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING, THERE'S PLENTY OF SMALLER AREAS ON COMMERCIAL PROJECTS THAT CAN ACCOMMODATE THAT. 
          BUT OF COURSE, THAT DOES LEAVE THE QUESTION WHAT TO DO WITH THE LANDSCAPE BUFFERS. 
          BEFORE WE GET TO THE LANDSCAPE BUFFERS WE'RE STARTING WITH THE FIRST QUESTION,
WHICH IS SHOULD THE CITY REQUIRE XERISCAPE DESIGN FOR NEIGHBORHOOD POCKET PARKS? SO IT'S NOT JUST THE PERIMETER ROADWAY AREAS INTERNALLY TO THESE NEWER NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          YOU HAVE POCKET PARKS, YOU HAVE AMENITY CENTERS,
AND YOU HAVE INTERIOR HOA OPEN SPACE. 
          AND THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD VISION BOOK, THESE AREAS TODAY ARE MORE PROGRAMED MORE THAN
EVER IN TERMS OF BEING ABLE TO ATTRACT PEOPLE, GATHERING SPACES, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. SO SHOULD THESE AREAS GENERALLY RECEIVE THAT
FUNCTIONAL TURF EXCEPTION OR NOT? AND THAT WAS KIND OF THE THE QUESTION THAT WE'RE POSING TO COUNCIL THIS EVENING. 
          DO WE KNOW WHAT PERCENTAGE OF HOAS THAT HAVE WATER METERS SET? HOW MUCH OF OUR WATER THEY USE? WE DO KNOW THAT HOAS ARE SOME OF OUR LARGEST WATER USERS
IN THE CITY. 
          HOWEVER, WE DO KNOW ALSO THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE ACREAGE FOR HOA OPEN SPACE IS ON
THE PERIMETER. 
          LANDSCAPE BUFFERS AND AMENITY CENTER DOES HAVE AN IRRIGATION SYSTEM. 
          ABSOLUTELY. ANY POCKET PARK WILL HAVE SOME IRRIGATION WITH THE TREES. 
          HOWEVER AS FAR AS A PERCENTAGE, WE DO NOT HAVE THE DIRECT PERCENTAGE IN FRONT OF US,
BUT WE DO KNOW THAT THE LARGEST SQUARE FOOTAGE OF OF OPEN SPACE WILL BE IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE LANDSCAPE BUFFERS ON THE PERIMETER NEXT TO THE ROADWAY. 
          WELL, I LIKE THE IDEA OF HAVING GRASS IN THESE AREAS WHERE IT CAN BE USABLE. 
          [00:55:02]
YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE THESE LITTLE POCKET PARKS THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. NEIGHBORHOOD I
LIVED IN IN VEGAS. WE HAD ONE OF THOSE. SO IT'S NICE TO HAVE A LITTLE THING OF GRASS THERE. IT WAS 5050 XERISCAPE TOO. SO, YOU KNOW,
YOU HAD THE GRASS AND YOU HAD THE OTHER STUFF AROUND IT. 
          IF YOU HAVE LIKE AN OPEN FIELD THAT PEOPLE USE FOR,
YOU KNOW, FESTIVALS AND THAT KIND OF STUFF AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THAT MAKES SENSE. YOU KNOW, THE FOOTBALL FIELDS AND SOCCER FIELDS WHERE STUFF PEOPLE ARE
GOING TO USE AT THE PARK, LIKE THE AREA AROUND THEIR AMENITY CENTER. I MEAN,
THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S NOT USABLE SPACE, YOU KNOW? SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S IF, IF, IF IT COMES DOWN TO IT'S,
IT'S GOING TO BE A CERTAIN SIZE TO QUALIFY FOR, FOR GRASS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS ON THAT,
BUT IF YOU HAVE OPEN SPACE, PEOPLE WANT TO USE IT AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S HARD TO HARD FOR KIDS TO PLAY ON ROCKS. 
          SO YOU NEED GRASS IN THOSE SPACES. I THINK THAT'S GOOD FEEDBACK. 
          YEAH, I THINK I'LL PROBABLY JUST ECHO WHAT PHILIP SAID. 
          I THINK IF IT'S USABLE OPEN SPACE, I UNDERSTAND IT. 
          BUT IF IT'S JUST FILLER, IF YOU'RE ALONG A, I DON'T,
I MEAN, GRASS IS A NATURAL BARRIER TO EROSION, BUT I'M JUST THINKING IF YOU'RE ALONG A WALKING PATH,
A LOT OF TIMES WE TALK ABOUT HERE'S THIS 40 FOOT BUFFER. 
          WE HAVE A TEN FOOT TRAIL. WELL, I HAVE 30FT TO THE SIDE OF ME OF JUST GRASS. 
          IF THERE'S A WAY THAT THE HOA ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT,
IF WE CAN ELIMINATE THAT OR REDUCE IT SOMEHOW AND GET HIM OFF OF THE CITY'S WATER SYSTEM. 
          BUT I THINK THEY'LL ALSO I BELIEVE THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY WILL STEP UP. 
          AND IN TURN, IF WE DON'T ALLOW IT, THEN THEY WILL FIND AN ALTERNATE OPTION BECAUSE THEY
WANT THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD TO BE ATTRACTIVE TO BUYERS. 
          DOESN'T BLUE WOULD HAVE AN ANSWER TO THAT. I THINK IT'S KINSHIP THAT GOES FROM IN FRONT OF
THE COLLEGE OVER TO PUNK CARTER. 
          THERE'S SEVERAL AREAS THERE THAT THERE'S GREEN DESERT GRASS LOOKING STUFF THAT GO RIGHT UP
TO THE YARD. 
          RIGHT? AND IT SEEMS LIKE A DECENT USE FOR THE BUFFER AREA,
RIGHT? YEAH. THERE, THERE ARE PLENTY OF I GUESS ONE,
ONE POINT I DO WANT TO MAKE CLEAR IF, IF THE ULTIMATE DIRECTION IS TO REMOVE IRRIGATED GRASS FROM BEING A PRIMARY DESIGN ESTHETIC OF THE ROADWAY LANDSCAPE BUFFERS,
IT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S GOING TO RECEIVE ALL ROCK TO BE REPLACED WITH IT. 
          BLUE IS A GREAT EXAMPLE. THERE'S SOME. THERE'S SOME AREAS AROUND SALINA WHERE YOU SEE
THEY. 
          THEY MAY CHOOSE TO FILL THAT WITH MORE DECORATIVE SHRUBBERY AND DRIP IRRIGATION THAT WOULD
BE ALLOWED TO JUST HAVE A LOWER MAINTENANCE, MORE ESTHETIC OPTION. SO IT DOESN'T MEAN IT WILL ABSOLUTELY BE REPLACED WITH AGGREGATE
OPTIONS. 
          THAT'S REALLY KIND OF UP TO THEIR DESIGN ESTHETIC. 
          SO THE LAST, THE THE FINAL QUESTION ON THIS SLIDE IS SO REGARDING THE PERIMETER ROADWAY
HOA LANDSCAPE BUFFERS. 
          THIS SO THESE ARE THE AREAS ON THE OUTSIDES OF YOUR ARTERIALS AND COLLECTORS. 
          THE CITY ALREADY YOU KNOW, CHANGED THEIR REGULATIONS LAST MONTH ON THE ROADWAY MEDIANS,
BUT ON THE FLANKS OF THESE LARGER ROADWAYS. 
          WHAT, YOU KNOW, WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING SHOULD BE THE REQUIREMENT? UNDERSTANDING THAT
MINIMUM TREE AND SHRUB PLANTINGS WILL, WILL CONTINUE. SO FAR AS PER THE FEEDBACK. SO ONE OPTION IS THE STATUS QUO,
WHICH IS GRASS WITH IRRIGATION ALONG WITH TREES AND SHRUBS. 
          ANOTHER OPTION IS NON-IRRIGATED GRASS. YOU CAN HAVE YOU CAN PLAN IT,
BUT YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER RAINFALL YOU RECEIVE WILL DETERMINE HOW ATTRACTIVE IT IS. 
          AND THEN OF COURSE, XERISCAPE DESIGN OPTIONS,
WHICH IS MOSTLY REPLACING THE IRRIGATED GRASS WITH DECORATIVE DECORATIVE AGGREGATE OR MORE SURE, YOU KNOW, SHRUBBERY. AND THAT'S, THAT'S,
THIS IS ONE THAT WE ANTICIPATE MORE SPLIT FEEDBACK OR MORE OPINIONS ON. 
          THAT'S OKAY. BUT THAT, THAT THIS IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF ACREAGE WITHIN THE CITY. 
          YOU LOOK AT THESE LANDSCAPE BUFFERS AND HOAS ARE OUR LARGEST WATER USERS,
GENERALLY SPEAKING. 
          SO THESE AREAS RECEIVE A LOT OF IRRIGATION. YEAH. 
          TO, TO ME THE THE MAIN POINT TO ALL THIS IS TO LIMIT TO ELIMINATE IRRIGATING NON USABLE
GRASS AND DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HAVE SOME LITTLE PATCH OF GRASS. YOU KNOW,
IT MAY, I MEAN, MIGHT LOOK NICE TO LOOK AT, BUT IT'S IT'S IT'S A WATER WASTER. AND WE'RE JUST IN A POSITION NOW IN SALINA AND JUST
TEXAS IN GENERAL OR, YOU KNOW, WATER IS BECOMING A PROBLEM. SO IF WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW GRASS TO BE WATERED,
YES. 
          IN COMMON AREAS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO PLAY AND USE IT IN YOUR
BACKYARD, YES, THAT MAKES SENSE. BUT IN AREAS LIKE THIS,
WELL, JUST TO HAVE A NICE DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AND FOR, FOR FOLKS THAT DON'T KNOW, I MEAN, YOU, IF YOU HAVE A,
IT'S A XERISCAPE, NOT ZERO SCAPE, AS YOU SEE ON THERE, YOU CAN MAKE THESE LOOK VERY FULL, VERY COLORFUL,
VERY, YOU KNOW, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE IN HAWAII IF YOU DO IT RIGHT, RIGHT. I, I TEND TO AGREE. I FEEL THAT THE IDEA OF XERISCAPE DESIGN OPTIONS,
I MEAN, THE KEY TERM THERE, 
          [01:00:03]
I SUPPOSE, IS DECORATIVE, BUT YOU COULD MAKE IT VISUALLY ATTRACTIVE,
EVEN MORE SO THAN JUST SOME BEIGE GRASS THAT YOU MIGHT BE DRIVING BY AND ALSO, CONSERVING THE WATER. AT THE SAME TIME,
I THINK IF YOU CAN DO IT WITH AN EYE TOWARD MAKING IT VISUALLY PLEASING, RIGHT? NOT NOT ONLY IS IT THAT, BUT IT'S UNIQUE COMPARED TO COMMUNITIES AROUND HERE. 
          YEAH, I THINK THAT'S A REALLY GOOD IDEA. YEAH. 
          I THINK ON YOUR FIRST SLIDE, YOU SAID ONE OF THE FEEDBACKS FROM P AND Z WAS NO,
DON'T DON'T DRIFT TOO FAR FROM WHAT THE REGIONAL STANDARD IS. 
          AND I COMPLETELY DISAGREE WITH THAT. I SAY WE SHOULD SET THE REGIONAL STANDARD. I MEAN,
WE'RE IN A WATER SITUATION HERE. 
          SO WHY WHY FOLLOW THE CROWD? WHY NOT JUST SET THE STANDARD. 
          WE'RE GOING TO BE THE BIGGEST CITY IN COLLIN COUNTY. YOU KNOW. MIGHT AS WELL PUT OUR BIG
BOY PANTS ON AND START DOING IT RIGHT NOW. YEAH, I THINK I FALL SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 2 AND 3. AS FAR AS THE SECOND QUESTION I JUST WE CAN'T
KEEP WITH THE STATUS QUO. 
          SO TWO AND THREE. SURE. THANK YOU FOR THE FEEDBACK. 
          WE DO HAVE A FEW MORE QUESTIONS. SO SO SOME,
SOME OF THE SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS, OBVIOUSLY, FROM THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY AND EVEN EVEN OFFICIALS,
EVEN STAFF IS LIKE, WELL, WHAT'S GOING TO BE GRANDFATHERED? WHAT'S NOT GOING TO BE GRANDFATHERED? HOW SOON CAN WE IMPLEMENT THESE REGULATIONS IF THEY
CHANGE? AND OBVIOUSLY, I'M GOING TO LOOK TO JULIE FOR SOME OF THE DETAILS ON SOME OF THOSE ANSWERS
TO SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONS. 
          STATE LAW DOES HAVE A VESTING STATUTE THAT ALLOWS PROJECTS TO VEST INTO SOME REGULATIONS,
BUT NOT ALL REGULATIONS. 
          WHAT THAT MEANS IS IF THAT REGULATION IS ON THE VEST,
YOU CAN VEST INTO IT. 
          THEN AT TIME OF PLAT APPLICATION, YOU'RE VESTED INTO THOSE REGULATIONS. 
          THERE ARE SOME REGULATIONS YOU DON'T VEST INTO. 
          FOR EXAMPLE, IF A CITY, FOR EXAMPLE, DOES NOT HAVE A JUNKED VEHICLE ORDINANCE AND THEN
THEY ADOPT ONE, YOU DON'T GET TO CLAIM VESTED RIGHTS TO YOUR JUNKED VEHICLE OR YOUR VESTED RIGHT TO A
NUISANCE SUCH AS HIGH GRASS AND WEEDS. 
          BUT SOME THINGS ARE VESTED, AND LANDSCAPING REGULATIONS ARE ONE OF THE THINGS ON THE ON
THAT VESTED LIST. 
          SO PROJECTS DO HAVE THE ABILITY. THEY DO LEGALLY VEST INTO THE LANDSCAPING REGULATIONS AT
TIME OF PRELIMINARY PLAT. 
          SO SAY WE BRING BACK ORDINANCE REVISIONS THIS FALL FOR COUNCIL TO CONSIDER AND ULTIMATELY
ADOPT, SAY COUNCIL FOR EXAMPLE ADOPTS THESE REGULATIONS IN NOVEMBER OR DECEMBER. 
          THAT WILL BE A LINE IN THE SAND FOR NEWER PROJECTS THAT COME IN AFTER THAT. 
          BUT SOME PROJECTS THAT ALREADY HAVE VESTED RIGHTS,
WHICH IS A LEGAL QUESTION OF FACT. 
          I JUST WANT TO SET EXPECTATIONS CONTRARY TO WHAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED ON OUR ON OUR SIDE,
WE HAVE I THINK WE HAVE ABOUT 2000 PLATTED LOTS. IS THAT RIGHT? DO YOU KNOW THE NUMBER AS FAR AS SINGLE FAMILY WE WE HAVE JUST
BECAUSE THEY'RE LISTED IN A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. 
          I WOULD NOT SAY THEY'RE PLATTED. SO. WELL THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO THINK. 
          MAYBE. YEAH. AND MAYBE THIS IS JULIE. IF WE GET TOO FAR AND HAVE TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE,
PLEASE LET US KNOW. 
          BUT I'M JUST TRYING TO THINK WHERE THAT LINE OF DELINEATION DELINEATION IS. 
          MAYBE WE SAY, IF YOU'RE ALREADY PLATTED, THEN OKAY,
BUT IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN PLATTED, THEN THIS IS WHERE WE'RE DRAWING THE LINE IN THE SAND BECAUSE WE CAN'T HAVE GRASS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANY WATER. SO YOU'RE GOING TO GET SAND.
I'M BEING SARCASTIC. THE GOOD NEWS IS STATE LAW ALREADY REGULATES THIS. 
          SO WE'RE NOT ASKING COUNSEL NECESSARILY TO REINVENT STATE LAW THAT GOVERNS THIS. 
          BUT WE ARE ASKING WHAT'S YOUR TEMPERATURE ON THESE ON IMPLEMENTING THESE NEW REGULATIONS? SHOULD THE GRACE PERIOD BE VERY GRACIOUS OR SHOULD YOU KNOW,
WHEN THESE NEW REGULATIONS IN ANTICIPATING IN THE FALL AND WINTER COME, COME ABOARD. SHOULD IT BE GENERALLY WE'RE GOING TO IMPLEMENT THEM FOR NEW PROJECTS MOVING
FORWARD IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE LAW. 
          I'M NOT SURE THAT WE CAN DO IT FOR ESCAPING. IT'S JUST LIKE,
YOU KNOW, HERE IT IS. 
          WE'RE IT'S THIS IS WHEN IT STARTS. AND IF YOU WERE ON IF YOU WERE ON THE BOARDS BEFORE,
THEN YOU'RE GOOD. 
          IF NOT, THIS IS THE NEW RULE. YEAH, THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I'M THINKING. 
          I DON'T THINK WE CAN DO THIS FOR EXISTING PLANNING COMMUNITIES THAT ALREADY HAVE PHASES
GOING ON. 
          I DO THINK WE SHOULD REQUIRE FOR NEW MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITIES. 
          AND I'D BE INTERESTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE IRRIGATING FROM ALTERNATE WATER SOURCES. 
          I THINK, CAN I TOUCH ON THAT? SO I JUST WANT TO PROVIDE A REAL EXAMPLE. 
          I'M TRYING TO THINK OF LEGACY HILLS RIGHT NOW HAS SOMETHING LIKE 2000 LOTS AND THEY'RE
DELIVERING ANOTHER 3000. 
          THAT PUTS THEM OR SORRY, ANOTHER THOUSAND THAT PUTS THEM AT 3000. 
          WELL THEY HAVE 7000 LOTS. SO IS THE PLAN THAT THE REMAINING 4000 HAVE TO ABIDE BY THESE
NEW STANDARDS IN THE MIDDLE OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT, OR IN TURN, DO THEY GET TO FINISH OUT BECAUSE THEY'VE ALREADY STARTED AS A MASTER PLAN
COMMUNITY? WHAT'S YOUR THOUGHTS BEHIND THAT? NO, NO, I'M SAYING LIKE WHAT WE'RE SAYING THIS,
IF WE GET TO SAY THIS IS WHAT WE WANT OUTSIDE OF THE LEGAL QUESTION, 
          [01:05:03]
ARE WE SAYING, DO YOU WANT TO START RIGHT NOW? OR IN TURN, ARE YOU SAYING, DO YOU WANT TO LET EXISTING COMMUNITIES THAT ARE ALREADY UNDER
CONSTRUCTION AND IN PROGRESS, WHOEVER THAT MAY BE, WHETHER THAT'S PARKS AT WILSON CREEK OR THAT'S RAMBLE JUST GOT
STARTED, BUT HERE THEY'RE IN PHASE ONE OF, I'M GOING TO SAY TEN PHASES. 
          SO ARE WE GOING TO ALLOW THEM TO CONTINUE ON THOSE OTHER NINE PHASES,
OR IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO TRY AND GO AFTER NOW? I MEAN, I DON'T I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT WORKS WITH ANY KIND OF DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT
THEY HAVE. 
          I DON'T THINK WE CAN'T GO BACK ON ANY AGREEMENTS WE'VE ALREADY MADE WITH THEM. 
          CORRECT. WHEN WHEN PROJECTS COME IN, STAFF WILL ENSURE THAT THEY WILL ABIDE BY THE
REGULATIONS AS ALLOWED FOR BY LAW. 
          A LOT OF TIMES IT'S NOT ABNORMAL FOR DEVELOPERS TO CHALLENGE A REGULATION AND SAY,
WE BELIEVE WE'VE SUBMITTED PRIOR TO THIS REGULATION. 
          STAFF WORKS THAT OUT. I MEAN, AS A ROUTINE FOR STAFF TO WORK THAT OUT. 
          WE LEAN ON JULIE'S OFFICE, OBVIOUSLY, TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE CORRECT,
BUT WE JUST WANTED TO UNDERSTAND COUNCIL TEMPERATURE ON THE REGULATIONS, AND WE BELIEVE WE HAVE ENOUGH FEEDBACK TO PROCEED. 
          WELL, I WOULD SAY TO IF YOU HAVE A DEVELOPMENT THAT'S ALREADY IN FLIGHT YOU JUST GENERALLY
SPEAKING, IT SEEMS TO MAKE MORE SENSE TO LET THEM CONTINUE ON THAT PATH,
YOU KNOW, JUST FOR THE CONTINUITY OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          BUT AT THE SAME TIME, MAYBE TRYING TO ENCOURAGE THEM,
HEY, THESE ARE THE NEW REGULATIONS GOING FORWARD. SO MAYBE YOU WANT TO CONSIDER, START TRANSITIONING SOME OF YOUR DESIGNS A LITTLE BIT. 
          BUT TO ANDY'S POINT, IF THEY HAVEN'T STARTED YET,
THEN IF IF THEY HAVEN'T STARTED, I THINK IT'S EASY. 
          I JUST THINK WE LOOK AT SPECIFIC EXAMPLES LIKE RAMBLE AND RAINWATER THAT JUST CAME ON. 
          THEY STILL HAVE 4000 HOMES TO SELL IN RAMBLE AND IN RAINWATER. 
          THEY STILL HAVE 2000 HOMES IN LEGACY HILLS. THEY STILL HAVE 4000 HOMES TO SELL OR 5000
HOMES TO SELL. 
          SO ARE WE JUST GOING TO LET I MEAN, AND MAYBE THAT'S THE DIRECTION,
OR ARE WE JUST GOING TO LET THEM CONTINUE? A LEGAL ASIDE, IS THE INTENT THAT WE LET THEM CONTINUE. 
          OR IN TURN, DO WE SAY WHEN YOU COME IN FOR YOUR NEXT PHASE,
THEN YOUR NEXT PHASE IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE OUR NEW ADOPTED STANDARDS, OR DO WE LET THEM GO AHEAD AND BUILD THOSE 3 TO 4000 HOMES UNDER EXISTING CONDITIONS? ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE IS THAT SOME DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS WEIGH IN ON THIS TOPIC ALREADY. 
          SO I THINK WHEN STAFF BRINGS BACK ORDINANCES,
READ LINES OF THE ORDINANCES BASED UPON THE FEEDBACK WE RECEIVED, WE'LL HAVE A BETTER, CLEARER PICTURE OF SOME OF THOSE MORE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. 
          SO OTHER THAN THAT, WE DO PLAN ON GOING TO WORK ON THE REVISED ORDINANCES AND COUNCIL AND
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FOR THE, THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION WILL WEIGH IN ON DEVELOPMENT RELATED ORDINANCES AND THE
ZONING ORDINANCE AND SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE. 
          THEY HAVE NO JURISDICTION, OBVIOUSLY, OVER DROUGHT STAGES AND THINGS IN PROGRAMING TYPE
EDUCATION AND OUTREACH. 
          BUT WHEN IT COMES TO SUBDIVISION AND ZONING ORDINANCE,
THOSE THINGS WILL GO THROUGH A PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS. SO THOSE WILL AGAIN HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR INPUT. AND ULTIMATELY, CITY COUNCIL WILL BE THE FINAL APPROVAL AUTHORITY
FOR THOSE AT A LATER DATE. 
          BUT WITH THAT, I BELIEVE STAFF HAS SUFFICIENT INFORMATION AND FEEDBACK. 
          IF THERE ARE ANY FINAL THOUGHTS AT CLOSING, WE'D BE GLAD TO HEAR IT. 
          THANKS, DUSTY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE INTO ITEM B DISCUSSION
REGARDING NEIGHBORHOOD INTEGRITY PROGRAM. 
          MAYOR AND COUNCIL. TONIGHT'S ITEM IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD INTEGRITY PROGRAM. 
          THIS ITEM WAS REQUESTED BY MAYOR TUBBS BY WAY OF BACKGROUND,
THE NEIGHBORHOOD INTEGRITY PROGRAM WAS IMPLEMENTED IN FISCAL YEAR 2022 2022. THE PURPOSE IS TO SUPPORT NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECTS THAT IMPROVE THE CITY'S PHYSICAL AND
ESTHETIC CONDITIONS, ENHANCE THE CITY'S UNIQUE IDENTITY, IMPROVE QUALITY OF LIFE,
AND CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMMUNITY CONNECTION. 
          IT'S FUNDED THROUGH OUR INTEGRITY FUND, WHICH RECEIVES THE MAJORITY OF ITS REVENUES
THROUGH TELECOMMUNICATION LEASES. 
          SO CELL TOWER LEASES ON WATER TOWERS AND OR GROUND LEASES FOR CELL TOWERS AT CITY
FACILITIES. 
          CITY COUNCIL DID DISCUSS THE PROGRAM IN BOTH FEBRUARY AND MARCH OF 2025. 
          A DECISION WAS MADE TO CONTINUE THE PROGRAM,
AND A POLICY WAS APPROVED TO GOVERN THE PROGRAM. 
          SO THE PROGRAM POLICY THAT WAS ADOPTED IN MARCH OF 2025 WALKS THROUGH ELIGIBLE
ORGANIZATIONS. 
          THOSE ARE HOAS EXCEPT FOR DEVELOPER CONTROLLED HOAS. 
          THERE'S A VARIETY OF REQUIREMENTS FOR ELIGIBLE PROJECTS. 
          THE POLICY ESTABLISHED A MATCHING COMPONENT FOR ALL OF THE PROJECTS,
ESSENTIALLY FOR SMALLER HOAS DOING SMALLER PROJECTS. THE CITY WOULD CONTRIBUTE MORE FUNDS,
BUT FOR LARGER HOAS DOING LARGER PROJECTS, THE CITY WOULD GO TO A 1 TO 1 CONTRIBUTION. THE MAXIMUM GRANT FOR ANY HOA IN ANY FISCAL
YEAR IS 
          [01:10:03]
2000, AND THERE ARE REQUIREMENTS THAT H O CANNOT RECEIVE GRANTS IN CONSECUTIVE YEARS. 
          THE PROJECTS ARE ALL SCORED BASED ON SCORING CRITERIA ESTABLISHED IN THE POLICY BY THE
KEEP SALINA BEAUTIFUL BOARD. 
          IN FISCAL YEAR 2025, THE CITY RECEIVED ONE APPLICATION. 
          AND THAT WAS FOR AN HOA JUST OUTSIDE OF DOWNTOWN. 
          IT WAS DETERMINED BY STAFF THAT THAT PROJECT WAS NOT VIABLE DUE TO POTENTIAL UPCOMING ROAD
CONSTRUCTION AND THE REQUIREMENT THAT SOME OF THOSE IMPROVEMENTS WOULD BE ON CITY RIGHT OF WAY THAT WOULD BE IMPACTED BY A
CONSTRUCTION PROJECT. 
          SO NO PROJECTS WERE AWARDED IN FISCAL YEAR 26. 
          THE GRANT APPLICATION CLOSED ON JUNE 30TH. THE CITY RECEIVED FOUR APPLICATIONS FROM THE
CREEKS AT LEGACY, ROLLING MEADOWS ESTATES, CARTER RANCH, AND THEN THE CITY DID RECEIVE ONE APPLICATION FROM
BUFFALO RIDGE. 
          THAT'S ACTUALLY A REQUEST TO AMEND A PRIOR AGREEMENT WHICH STAFF WAS GOING TO INCORPORATE
WITH THE OTHER APPLICATIONS AND BRING BACK TO CITY COUNCIL ALL TOGETHER GOING OVER THE INTEGRITY FUND BUDGET. 
          SO CELL TOWERS FOR FISCAL YEAR 26 WERE BUDGETED TO GENERATE $205,000 IN REVENUE,
$25,000 WAS BUDGETED FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD INTEGRITY PROGRAM, 87,500 WAS BUDGETED FOR THE FACADE GRANT PROGRAM,
AND THEN THERE WAS $90,000 BUDGETED FOR ABATEMENT DOWNTOWN LIGHTS, LIVE MUSIC GRANTS,
AND SOME COMPONENTS OF PUBLIC ART. 
          WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. 
          AND STAFF IS LOOKING FOR DIRECTION FROM CITY COUNCIL ON CONTINUING CONTINUING THE PROGRAM, MAKING ANY CHANGES OR EXPLORING ANY ALTERNATIVE USES TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD INTEGRITY
PROGRAM. 
          I THINK IT'S I THINK WE KEEP GOING. I LIKE IT. 
          DO WE THE THE REASON I, I ASKED FOR THIS TO BE ADDED WAS NUMBER ONE. 
          SHANE SHANE HADN'T SERVED BEFORE AND IT SEEMED LIKE WE PUT A PAUSE ON EVERYTHING. 
          SO I WASN'T CERTAIN IF WE WERE GOING TO CONTINUE THE PROGRAM OR NOT. 
          THERE SEEMED TO BE SOME PUSHBACK AGAINST IT AS FAR AS USING THOSE THOSE PUBLIC DOLLARS TO, IN TURN INCENTIVIZE HOAS IN WHATEVER THEIR PROJECTS ARE BE. 
          AND I THINK THAT'S PART OF THE PROGRAM IS IN TURN,
IT HAS TO BE SOME TYPE OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT THAT CAN BE SEEN. 
          I REMEMBER THERE GOSH, I CAN'T, THE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S THERE OFF OF FLORIDA WAS
GOING TO DO AN ENTRY, AND THEN BLUE WOOD HAD SUBMITTED AND ASKED BECAUSE THEY WERE GOING TO DO A TWO PHASE
PROJECT. 
          SO THEY HAD HELD OFF ON PHASE ONE TO TRY AND GET A GRANT FOR THE SECOND ONE,
BECAUSE IT WAS GOING TO BE A LOT EASIER FOR THEM. 
          WHAT WHAT IS WE NOW HAVE, HAVE WE AS PART OF THAT ADOPTION,
DID WE CAP IT AT 25,000? I JUST THOUGHT I REMEMBERED BEFORE, LIKE WHEN HERITAGE,
WE HAD AWARDED 2 OR 3 DIFFERENT ONES WHEN HERITAGE GOT AWARDED AND PARKSIDE GOT AWARDED. 
          WHAT WAS THAT? I KNOW WE HAVE A MATCHING CONTRIBUTION NOW,
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE BUDGET WISE WE'VE ONLY BUDGETED $25,000. 
          IT SEEMS LIKE IF THAT'S THE CASE AND THE MAXIMUM CITY GRANT,
IT'S DO WE WANT TO ONLY ACCEPT TWO PER YEAR OR SOMETHING? IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF ADMINISTRATIVE WORK TO IT. 
          CAN WE HELP IN ANY WAY TO NARROW IT DOWN? IF WE'RE GOING TO CARRY THIS FORWARD,
TO JUST SAY, HEY, WE'RE ONLY GOING TO TAKE TWO. SO IF SOMEBODY QUALIFIES FOR 2000,
THERE'S ONLY 5000 REMAINING, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. RATHER THAN TAKING IN SIX EIGHT DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS AND HAVING TO
WORK THROUGH ALL OF THOSE. 
          THE AMOUNT OF STAFF TIME SEEMS LIKE IT'S WORTH MORE THAN IT IS IN A $20,000 GRANT. 
          DEFINITELY. THE KEEP SALINA BEAUTIFUL BOARD WILL CONSIDER ALL APPLICATIONS. 
          THE BUDGET BY STAFF HAS BEEN BASED ON ACTUAL USAGE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. 
          AND BASED ON THE TIERED REQUIREMENTS, STAFF IS NOT ANTICIPATING RECEIVING SEVERAL REQUESTS
AT THE MAXIMUM GRANT OF 2000. 
          HOWEVER, THERE IS FUND BALANCE AVAILABLE WITHIN THE INTEGRITY FUND THAT IF THERE WERE
PROJECTS THAT WERE RECOMMENDED BY KEEP SALINA BEAUTIFUL THAT STAFF BROUGHT FORWARD TO CITY COUNCIL. A BUDGET AMENDMENT COULD ALSO BE REQUESTED TO
FUND SPECIFIC ONE TIME PROJECTS FROM FUND BALANCE. COULD YOU MOVE FORWARD? ONE SLIDE. MAYBE. 
          MAYBE IT'S NOT THAT SLIDE. THE SLIDE THAT SHOWED 2025 AND 2026. 
          ONLY ONE. OKAY. SO ON WHAT WAS 2025 THE FIRST YEAR? 
          [01:15:04]
NO. 2022 WAS THE FIRST YEAR. WE'VE DONE THIS FOR FIVE YEARS. 
          I'M JUST SHOWING THE APPLICANTS THE FIRST THREE YEARS. 
          YES. JUST TALK TO PHILIP. PHILIP DO YOU WANT TO TELL US ABOUT HERITAGE? I KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROGRAM. NO. SO I LIVE IN HERITAGE AND YEAH,
I THINK THE WELL, ANDY WAS HERE, SO HE MIGHT SPEAK TO THIS BETTER THAN ME,
BUT I THINK WHAT KIND OF STARTED THE WHOLE THING IS THE DESIGN STANDARDS THAT THE CITY HAS FOR NEIGHBORHOODS NOWADAYS ARE PRETTY HIGH. SOME OF THE OLDER,
MORE ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOODS, THEY JUST WEREN'T THERE YET. SO THIS WAS A WAY TO TRY TO BRIDGE THAT GAP A LITTLE BIT
WITHOUT PUTTING A MAJOR BURDEN ON THE FOLKS THAT LIVE IN THAT, YOU KNOW, THOSE PARTICULAR COMMUNITIES. SO IN HERITAGE CASE,
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE 337 HOMES. IT'S NOT A GIANT NEIGHBORHOOD. BUT YEAH, WE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE PROGRAM THE FIRST YEAR ON, ON LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD,
WHICH I WOULD SAY BEAUTIFY THE AREA. 
          AND THEN TOOK A YEAR BREAK. AND THEN THE FOLLOWING YEAR WE DID A,
A NEW OR NOT A NEW, WE ADDED A LIGHTING SYSTEM INTO OUR COMMON AREA, WHICH WASN'T THERE BEFORE. SO THAT HELPED ENHANCE THE AREA,
IMPROVE SAFETY MADE IT MORE USABLE. 
          SO IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM FOR THAT. AND IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S FREE MONEY. 
          I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THE, IT'S A DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR GRANT,
I THINK BACK IN THE DAY. 
          SO LIKE THE LIGHTING PROJECT I THINK WAS $45,000. 
          SO HE PAID 25,000 OF THAT AND THE GRANT WAS FOR 20,000. 
          SO IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S I MEAN, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO PUT SOME SKIN IN THE GAME. 
          I THINK IT'S GREAT. SO I PUT IN PICTURES OF SOME OF THE PRIOR PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN
FUNDED. 
          SO HERE'S ONE FROM HERITAGE DOING ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING IN COMMON AREAS. 
          DC RANCH RECEIVED ONE FOR ENTRYWAY SIGNAGE. AND CARTER RANCH HAS IMPROVED AND REPLACED
THEIR PLAY STRUCTURE AT THEIR COMMON PARK. WHAT'S THE MOST APPLICANTS YOU'VE GOTTEN IN A YEAR? I AM APPROXIMATELY I'M NOT SURE I BELIEVE IN SOME OF THE EARLY YEARS 3 OR 4 MAY HAVE BEEN
ISSUED IN A SINGLE YEAR. 
          HOWEVER, UNDER THE CURRENT REQUIREMENTS, MANY OF THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS ARE NO LONGER
ELIGIBLE BECAUSE DEVELOPER CONTROLLED HOAS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE. 
          AND THAT STARTED IN FISCAL YEAR 2025, WHICH ELIMINATED SEVERAL NEIGHBORHOODS THAT HAD
RECEIVED GRANTS IN THE PAST FROM BEING ABLE TO REAPPLY FOR GRANTS GOING FORWARD. GENERALLY DISCUSS THIS MORE,
YOU KNOW, AT SOME TIME WITH COUNCIL AND TALK ABOUT THE GUIDELINES, THE RESTRICTIONS, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S A GOOD PROGRAM. IT HAS SOME BENEFITS. AND I'D LIKE
TO LEARN MORE ABOUT IT, DISCUSS IT MORE AND MAYBE REESTABLISH THE GUIDELINES. 
          YEAH. GENERALLY SPEAKING, I MEAN, WE'RE NOT IT'S A LOT OF MONEY PER PROJECT TO,
TO IMPROVE A NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING, IT'S NOT A LOT OF MONEY. 
          IT'S COMING FROM CELL TOWER LEASES. AND MAYBE THERE ARE BETTER USES. 
          THERE PROBABLY ARE BETTER USES FOR THIS MONEY,
BUT THERE PROBABLY AREN'T MANY. 
          IT'S A VERY GOOD USE. SO THE EXAMPLES THAT YOU SHOW ARE ACTUALLY IMPROVING NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          AND I LIKE, AS MR. FERGUSON SAID, THEY'VE GOT TO PUT SOME SKIN IN THE GAME. 
          AND SO YEAH, I, I, I, REALLY, I, AND MY NEIGHBORHOOD HAS NOT UTILIZED THE PROGRAM,
BUT I CERTAINLY DON'T SEE ANY ANY REASON TO DISCONTINUE IT, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE ASKING. 
          YEAH. LIKE THE, THE INTEGRITY PROGRAM. I LIKE IT EVEN MORE. 
          IF YOU COULD FIND A WAY FOR DOWNTOWN TO GET SOME OF THAT MONEY,
I, I THINK WE ADOPTED A $90 MILLION ROADWAY PLAN FOR DOWNTOWN. 
          SO YEAH, I WATCH WHAT YOU ASKED FOR. I ALSO MENTIONED HOMEOWNER AND ASSOCIATION IN THE
SAME DAY ABOUT DOWNTOWN AND I GOT CRUCIFIED. I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. I DON'T WANT TO GO THAT FAR. 
          I THINK YOU HAVE DIRECTION. I THINK WE'RE GOOD. BEFORE YOU STEP AWAY,
COULD YOU REVERSE A SLIDE ONCE TO THE HERITAGE ONE WITH OUR PICTURE? DO YOU GUYS SEE THAT? THAT XERISCAPE LANDSCAPING RIGHT THERE. 
          THERE'S NOT A BLADE OF GRASS THERE. BUT DOESN'T THAT LOOK NICE? THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO SAY. ARE WE GOOD? YES. 
          OKAY. THANKS, BRAD. OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO ITEM C DISCUSSION REGARDING FISCAL YEAR
2027 TO 2029 STRATEGIC PLAN. 
          SO TONIGHT'S ITEM IS TO DISCUSS SOME OF THE OUTCOMES FROM THE ANNUAL STRATEGIC PLANNING
RETREAT WITH CITY COUNCIL. 
          THE STRATEGIC PLANNING RETREAT WAS HOSTED ON JUNE 20TH. 
          THE DISCUSSION INCLUDED THE CURRENT ENVIRONMENT,
MARKET TRENDS, AND GOVERNANCE PROGRESS ON THE CITY'S PRIORITY OBJECTIVES FROM THE FISCAL YEAR 26 TO FISCAL YEAR 28, STRATEGIC PLAN AND DISCUSSION OF ESTABLISHING NEW PRIORITY
OBJECTIVES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 27 TO 29. 
          STRATEGIC PLAN AND THE OUTCOMES FROM THE MEETING,
BASED ON CITY COUNCIL'S DISCUSSION, WAS TO UPDATE THE CITY'S MISSION STATEMENT AND THEN 
          [01:20:06]
UPDATE CITY COUNCIL'S PRIORITY OBJECTIVES. THE CITY ESTABLISHED ITS CURRENT MISSION
STATEMENT IN 2018. 
          IT IS VIEWED AS A 25 YEAR GOAL OR VISION FOR THE CITY,
AND IT'S CURRENTLY. 
          OUR MISSION IS TO PRESERVE OUR AGRICULTURAL HERITAGE AND FLOURISH AS A CLOSE KNIT,
EVER GROWING SALINA FAMILY. 
          DURING THE EXPLOSIVE AND PLANNED GROWTH OF OUR CITY,
WE WILL PROVIDE A UNIQUE AND EXTRAORDINARY QUALITY OF LIFE, COMPLEMENTED BY A SIGNIFICANT ARRAY OF HIGH TECH AND DESIRABLE BUSINESSES,
AGRITOURISM ASSETS, AND UNIQUE DESTINATIONS AND CONNECTIONS. CITY COUNCIL PROVIDED FEEDBACK ON SOME UPDATES
THAT HAVE OCCURRED SINCE 2018. AND STAFF HAS DRAFTED A NEW MISSION STATEMENT AND IS LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK FROM CITY
COUNCIL ON THE DRAFT, WHICH IS OUR MISSION IS TO BUILD A COMMUNITY WHERE LIFE CONNECTED INSPIRES EVERY DECISION, EVERY INVESTMENT, AND EVERY OPPORTUNITY. GROUNDED IN OUR HERITAGE AND GUIDED BY THOUGHTFUL
GROWTH, WE WILL CULTIVATE AN EXTRAORDINARY QUALITY OF LIFE THROUGH MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS,
DISTINCTIVE DESTINATIONS, AND ENDURING PLACES THAT BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER. 
          CITY COUNCIL HAVE ANY FEEDBACK ON ANYTHING THEY LIKE,
DON'T LIKE ANYTHING THAT'S MISSING FROM THE DRAFT MISSION STATEMENT? THAT'S GOOD. GREAT. STAFF ALSO DRAFTED THE EIGHT PRIORITY OBJECTIVES BASED ON CITY COUNCIL'S DIRECTION. 
          THESE ARE NUMBERED JUST SO WE KNOW HOW MANY THERE ARE. 
          THEY'RE NOT RANK, ORDER OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. 
          THE FIRST ONE IS TO PRIORITIZE THE RECONSTRUCTION OF DOWNTOWN ROADS. 
          IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FIVE YEAR CIP, COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION OF ALL PHASES OF ALLESLEY
PARK. 
          EXPAND ACCESS TO WATER RESOURCES THROUGH MULTIPLE INITIATIVES. 
          ADVANCED STRATEGIC ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES THAT EXPAND THE TAX BASE,
CREATE JOBS AND SUPPORT A SUSTAINABLE LOCAL ECONOMY. 
          PROTECT AND PRESERVE THE HISTORICAL CHARACTER OF THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS OF DOWNTOWN. 
          ENHANCE COMMUNITY IDENTITY AND CONNECTIONS. DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM FOR ARTS AND
CULTURE, INCLUDING FUNDING AND KEY PROJECTS, AND UPDATE THE PARKS AND TRAILS MASTER PLAN. 
          IS THERE ANY FEEDBACK FROM CITY COUNCIL ON THOSE EIGHT OBJECTIVES? IS THERE ANYTHING MISSING? LOOKS GOOD. GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. OH, AND NEXT STEPS. THIS WILL COME BACK AS A CITY COUNCIL ACTION ITEM FOR
ADOPTION AT THE AUGUST 11TH MEETING. 
          THANK YOU. GREAT. OKAY. WE'RE NOW GOING TO MOVE INTO OPEN FORUM. 
          OPEN FORUM IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY. IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK,
PLEASE SIGN ONE OF THE SPEAKER CARDS 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 ONLY HAVE ONE SO FAR TODAY. 
          KEITH SMITH, CAN I COME UP? IF YOU'LL JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS BEFORE YOU START. 
          AND THEN YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. ABSOLUTELY. MY NAME IS KEITH SMITH. 
          I LIVE AT 608 WEST ELM STREET, AND I WILL DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO GET THIS IN THREE
MINUTES. 
          SO, MAYOR TUBBS CITY COUNCIL APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS YOU ALL THIS EVENING. 
          MY COMMENTS CONCERN THE RECENTLY PAINTED MURAL COLORED MULTICOLORED MURAL LOCATED ON THE
ACCESSORY STRUCTURE OF THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE OF 517 WEST OAK STREET WITHIN SALINAS HISTORIC DOWNTOWN DISTRICT. THIS ACCESSORY STRUCTURE,
WHICH WAS REPORTEDLY COMPLETED APPROXIMATELY MARCH 2025, PROMINENTLY FACES KENTUCKY STREET AND FEATURES VIBRANT SHADES OF PURPLE,
GREEN, BLUE AND YELLOW. BECAUSE BECAUSE THIS IS A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE HISTORIC DOWNTOWN DISTRICT, THE PROJECT RAISES QUESTIONS REGARDING COMPLIANCE WITH THE
CITY'S ADOPTED DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS GOVERNING RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES AND ACCESSORY STRUCTURES. THE CITY OF SALINA HAS ESTABLISHED CLEAR DESIGN STANDARDS THROUGH DOWNTOWN
SALINA CODE TO PRESERVE THE ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER, VISUAL CONSISTENCY, AND HISTORIC IDENTITY OF OUR DOWNTOWN. 
          SPECIFICALLY CODE SECTION 14.04.106. EXTERIOR COLORS PROVIDE THAT THE DOMINANT EXTERIOR
COLORS OF BUILDINGS WITHIN THE DOWNTOWN DISTRICT SHALL CONSIST OF MUTED, SUBTLE, NEUTRAL, OR EARTH TONE COLORS AND EXPRESSLY PROHIBITS HIGH INTENSITY FLUORESCENT
OR NEON COLORS. 
          THESE STANDARDS EXIST TO PRESERVE THE HISTORIC STREETSCAPE AND MAINTAIN THE DISTRICT'S
CHARACTER THAT HAS BECOME ONE OF HISTORIC DOWNTOWN SALINA'S GREATEST ASSETS. 
          ADDITIONALLY, DOWNTOWN SALINA SECTION CODE 14.03.201 E ESTABLISHES ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS
FOR ACCESSORY STRUCTURES REQUIRING THAT DETECTS DETACHED ACCESSORY BUILDINGS, REMAIN COMPATIBLE WITH,
AND GENERALLY MATCH THE ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER AND EXTERIOR APPEARANCE OF THE PRINCIPAL 
          [01:25:02]
RESIDENCE STRUCTURE THEY SERVE. A BRIGHTLY COLORED MURAL COVERING A HIGHLY VISIBLE STREET
FACING ACCESSORY BUILDING BUILDING ASSOCIATED WITH A RESIDENT APPEARS INCONSISTENT WITH BOTH THE INTENT AND THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ADOPTED STANDARDS. 
          IT'S ALSO MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS PROJECT MAY HAVE NOT UNDERGONE REVIEW BY THE BOARDS,
COMMISSIONS AND OR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSES RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING COMPLIANCE WITH DOWNTOWN CODE PRIOR TO THE CONSTRUCTION OR THE APPLICATION OF MURAL. 
          IF THAT UNDERSTANDING IS CORRECT, I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THE CITY TO DETERMINE WHETHER ALL
APPLICABLE PERMITS, REVIEWS, APPROVALS AND COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REQUIRED UNDER THE CITY'S ORDINANCE WERE PROPERLY COMPLETED AT ITS CORE. 
          THIS CONCERNS THE CONSISTENT ADMINISTRATIVE AND ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE
ORDINANCE ADOPTED BY THE CITY OF SALINA. 
          EVERY RESIDENT'S PROPERTY, RESIDENT, PROPERTY OWNER,
BUSINESS OWNER AND DEVELOPER WHO HAS INVESTED IN HISTORIC DOWNTOWN HAS DONE SO WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT THESE STANDARDS WILL BE FAIRLY WILL BE APPLIED FAIRLY CONSISTENTLY AND
IMPARTIALLY. 
          PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANTLY, IF THE CITY DOES NOT CONSISTENTLY ENFORCE THE STANDARDS IT HAS
FORMALLY ADOPTED, IT RISKS UNDERMINING THE VERY INVESTMENT THOSE STANDARDS WERE INTENDED TO PROTECT THE CITY
ITSELF. 
          DOWNTOWN RESIDENTS, LOCAL BUSINESSES AND FUTURE DEVELOPERS WILL HAVE ALL INVESTED
SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES IN PRESERVING AND ENHANCING HISTORIC DOWNTOWN. 
          THOSE INVESTMENTS DEPEND UPON PREDICTABLE, TRANSPARENT AND CONSISTENT APPLICATION OF THE
CITY'S ORDINANCES. 
          ACCORDINGLY, I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT THE COUNCIL DIRECT STAFF TO CONDUCT A
COMPREHENSIVE COMPLIANCE REVIEW OF THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT 517 WEST OAK STREET, TO DETERMINE WHETHER ALL APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CITY OF SALINA. 
          CODE OF ORDINANCES IN DOWNTOWN SALINA CODE WERE SATISFIED AND IF VIOLATIONS ARE
IDENTIFIED, THAT THEY BE ADDRESSED THROUGH THE CITY'S ESTABLISHED PROCEDURES. 
          YOU ALL HAVE A COPY OF MY NOTES AS WELL AS SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION. 
          I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. 
          ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK DURING OPEN FORUM? ALL RIGHT. IF NO ONE WISHES TO SPEAK, I'LL CLOSE. 
          OPEN FORUM AT 823. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO CONSENT AGENDA. 
          ITEMS ARE CONSIDERED SELF-EXPLANATORY AND WILL BE ENACTED WITH ONE MOTION. 
          NO SEPARATE DISCUSSION OF THESE ITEMS WILL OCCUR UNLESS SO REQUESTED BY AT LEAST ONE
MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL. 
          ANY THAT. OKAY, I HAVE A MOTION FROM BRANDON TO APPROVE AND A SECOND FROM ANDY. 
          IF EVERYBODY WILL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. OKAY. 
          MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO PUBLIC HEARING AND ACTION ITEMS. A CONDUCT, A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE
COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR A CHILD CARE CENTER. 
          PRIMARY USE ON APPROXIMATELY TWO ACRES. GENERALLY LOCATED 580FT WEST OF LEGACY DRIVE AND
APPROXIMATELY 1100FT NORTH OF FRONTIER PARKWAY WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS FOR LIGHTBRIDGE ACADEMY DAYCARE. 
          OKAY, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THIS ITEM IS FOR THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR
LIGHTBRIDGE ACADEMY. 
          THIS PROPERTY IS ROUGHLY IDENTIFIED BY THE RED STAR,
GENERALLY IN THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF OUR BOUNDARY. 
          AND THEN MORE SPECIFICALLY SHOWN HERE IN RED. 
          IT'S GENERALLY WEST OF LEGACY DRIVE, NORTH OF FRONTIER PARKWAY AND ADJACENT TO THE CREEKS
OF LEGACY WEST NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          SO AS A BACKGROUND, THIS PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY TWO ACRES. 
          IT IS CURRENTLY WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS, AND IT HAS EXISTING ZONING FROM 2020 THAT ALLOWS
FOR MIXED USE, AND THE APPLICANT DESIRES TO OPERATE A DAYCARE. 
          THE ZONING ORDINANCE CLASSIFIES A DAYCARE AS A CHILD CARE CENTER PRIMARY USE,
AND THAT REQUIRES A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT WITHIN THE MIXED USE ZONING DISTRICT AND THE ZONING ORDINANCE, JUST SO YOU ALL KNOW, DOES NOT REQUIRE THAT IF IT WERE JUST ZONED
STRAIGHT COMMERCIAL AND SUP IS REQUIRED FOR USES THE ZONING ORDINANCE MAY ALLOW, BUT THAT ARE ALSO SCREENED AND SPECIALLY APPROVED FOR SITUATIONAL
SUITABILITY. 
          AND THE PURPOSE IS TO JUST DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATENESS OF THE PROPOSAL. 
          THE CITY DOES HAVE BROAD DISCRETIONARY APPROVAL OF THE REQUESTED SUP. 
          HERE'S THE CONCEPT PLAN FOR THE PROPERTY. THE DAYCARE IS MORE IN THE INTERIOR OR THE BACK
SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. 
          WE HAVE NOT SEEN ANY FORMAL PLANS FOR THE REST OF THE DEVELOPMENT YET. 
          AND THEN THESE ARE ALSO THE CONCEPTUAL RENDERINGS THAT WERE PROVIDED. 
          IT'S PRIMARILY SHOWING BRICK AND STONE, SO IT IS CONFORMING WITH OUR ARCHITECTURE
STANDARDS FOR POLICY CONSIDERATIONS. 
          AGAIN, THE BASE ZONING IS MIXED USE. THE REQUEST IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH OUR FUTURE LAND
USE PLAN. 
          THE OUR MODERN DESIGN ENSURE AN ATTRACTIVE PROJECT AND IT IS LOCATED IN AN INTERIOR PAD
SITE, NOT ON A FRONTAGE PAD SITE. THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED
APPROVAL SIX ZERO AT THEIR LAST MONTH'S MEETING. 
          STAFF RECEIVED ONE LETTER IN OPPOSITION AND ONE LETTER JUST INQUIRING MORE INFORMATION
ABOUT THE PROJECT, AND ONE RESIDENT ALSO CAME FORWARD DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING,
AND THEY ALSO ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LAND USE. 
          STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AS PRESENTED. I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE AND THE
APPLICANT IS ALSO HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THEM. 
          [01:30:08]
THE LETTER OF OPPOSITION. DID IT STATE ANYTHING SPECIFIC AS TO WHY? YEAH. IT EXPRESSED CONCERNS WITH LOSS OF OPEN VIEW,
PROPERTY VALUES, PRIVACY NOISE, SOME OF THE USUAL CONCERNS. 
          OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? OKAY. I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. 
          IT IS 827. IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM A? OKAY. IF NO ONE WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM EIGHT,
I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN LOOK FOR ANY DISCUSSION OR I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE FROM PHILIP AND A SECOND FROM ANDY. 
          EVERYBODY WILL PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. OKAY. MOTION PASSES 7 TO 0. MOVE TO ITEM B, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON AN ORDINANCE ON
THE VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION OF APPROXIMATELY FIVE ACRES, GENERALLY LOCATED EAST OF COIT ROAD AND SOUTH OF COUNTY ROAD 101 WITHIN THE ETJ FOR RAMBLE
INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THIS ITEM IS FOR THE RAMBLE INFRASTRUCTURE
ANNEXATION. 
          THIS PROPERTY IS ROUGHLY IDENTIFIED BY THE RED STAR IN THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT OF OUR
ULTIMATE BOUNDARY, AND THEN SHOWN HERE IN RED. IT'S GENERALLY LOCATED EAST OF COYOTE ROAD,
SOUTH OF COUNTY ROAD 101. 
          AS A QUICK BACKGROUND, THIS PROPERTY IS FIVE ACRES. 
          IT IS CURRENTLY WITHIN THE ETJ AND IT IS GOVERNED WITH A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT
OUTLINED THE FUTURE ANNEXATION AND ZONING OF THE PROPERTY THAT WAS APPROVED BACK IN MAY OF 2017. THE OUTLINE LOOKS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN NORMAL JUST BECAUSE IT IS ONLY THE
RIGHT OF WAY. 
          SO THE VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION OF THE RIGHT OF WAY IS TO SUPPORT THE FUTURE SCHOOL SITE FOR
THE SALINE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT. 
          AND IT IS THE NEXT STEP IN THE GOVERNING DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. SO HERE'S KIND OF THE,
THE OVERVIEW OF THE RIGHT OF WAY SHOWN HERE IN RED. 
          AND THEN FOR POLICY CONSIDERATIONS, THIS ASSOCIATED ANNEXATION BRINGS IN FIVE ACRES. 
          THE VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT,
AND THE ASSOCIATED ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS SCHEDULED FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING TOGETHER IN AUGUST. SO YOU'LL SEE THAT NEXT MONTH. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED
ANNEXATION. 
          I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. YOU MIGHT HAVE QUESTIONS. 
          OKAY. I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM B. 
          IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK? IT'S 829. 
          OKAY. I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND LOOK FOR A MOTION FOR ITEM B SECOND. 
          OKAY, I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. EVERYBODY,

          MORE SPECIFICALLY, IT'S IN BETWEEN CROSS CREEK MEADOWS AND THE PARKS AT WILSON CREEK. 
          WILSON CREEK IS HIGHLIGHTED IN BLUE CROSS CREEK MEADOWS AND RED. 
          COUNTY ROAD 92 IS SHOWN IN YELLOW. THAT'S THE PIECE WE'LL BE ABANDONING. 
          AND THEN SUNSET IS ALSO SHOWN NEARBY THERE IN GREEN COUNTY. 
          ROAD 92 IS THE PIECE THAT WE'RE ABANDONING IS ABOUT 2500FT. 
          IT'S BECOME FUNCTIONALLY OBSOLETE. IT'S NOT USED ANYMORE. 
          WE ISSUED PUBLIC HEARING NOTICES ON JUNE 26TH. 
          THIS IS A LITTLE BIT BETTER VIEW OF THE PIECE OF THE RIGHT OF WAY THAT WE'LL BE

          THANK YOU. I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ITEM C.

          WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO ITEM E, CONSIDER AN ACT TO AWARD BID 2026-038 FOR THE 2026 ANNUAL
STREET MAINTENANCE PROJECT TO APPLE PAVEMENT SERVICES AT THE UNIT PRICES LISTED IN THE AMOUNT OF 7,022,846 AND $0.50,
PLUS A 15% CONTINGENCY IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,053,426.96, FOR A TOTAL AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED 08,076,273 AND $0.48. PRETTY. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. 
          TONIGHT I'M GOING TO GO OVER THE 2026 ASM PROGRAM THAT'S LAID OUT HERE. 
          AS STATED, THE CONTRACT AMOUNT IS FOR $146.50,
WITH A NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT OF $8,076,273.48. THIS IS THE AWARD TO 2026 ASM TO APPLE PAYMENT SERVICES AT. 
          THE UNIT PRICE IS LISTED IN THE DOCUMENTS. FUNDING IS AVAILABLE IN OUR CURRENT BUDGETS AND
EXPENDITURES WILL NOT EXCEED THE FUNDS APPROPRIATED AT THE TIME THE PO IS ISSUED. 
          THE 2026 ASM, THE THE FIRST FOCUS WE DO IS FULL DEPTH RECLAMATION OF ROADWAYS. 
          AS YOU CAN TELL FROM THIS IMAGE ABOVE. MOST OF THIS RECONSTRUCTION IS LOCATED IN THE
DOWNTOWN AREA. 
          THESE ROADS WERE PICKED AS PART OF THE ASM BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE FLIPPED TO
CONCRETE RELATIVELY SOON. 
          SO WE WANT TO IMPROVE ALL DOWNTOWN STREETS AND MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE RESIDENTS IN THE
DOWNTOWN GET IMPROVED ROADWAYS AS WELL AS THERE'LL BE MINOR DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS CULVERT REPLACEMENTS AND SOME LIGHT GRADING WITH THIS PROJECT
AS WELL. 
          AS YOU CAN TELL, THERE'S ALSO SOME STREETS LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE DOWNTOWN AREA,
THE LYNN STAMBAUGH AREA. 
          AND AS WELL AS NORTH FLORIDA DRIVE PORTION OF IT WILL BE FULL DEPTH RECLAMATION. 
          AND THEN THERE WILL BE SOME SPOT REPAIRS ON THE OTHER,
ALONG WITH SOME SURFACE TREATMENTS, BECAUSE THE PCI LOCATED IN THAT BLUE AREA IS RELATIVELY GOOD. 
          HOWEVER, IT DOES NEED SOME SPOT REPAIR AND SOME SURFACE TREATMENTS TO PRESERVE THE
PAVEMENT. 
          ALONG WITH THE ANNUAL ASM PROJECTS, THERE'S ALSO MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS THAT HELP WITH
PAVEMENT PRESERVATIONS. 
          THESE INCLUDE VARIOUS SURFACE TREATMENTS, CRACKED CEILINGS OF PAVEMENT,
ROAD STRIPING THAT'S BEEN FADED ASPHALT SPOT REPAIRS AS LONG AS WELL AS CONCRETE PANEL REPLACEMENTS AND SIDEWALK REPLACEMENTS THAT,
NEED TO BE DONE TO GET TO IT IN A LITTLE BIT FURTHER DETAIL. 
          SOME OF THE SURFACE TREATMENT AREAS THAT WILL BE DONE THIS YEAR WILL BE IN HERITAGE TRAIL
FROM COUNTY ROAD 83 TO OWENSBORO PARKWAY. 
          WE'LL BE USING THE PRESSURE PAVE TECHNIQUE COUNTY ROAD 134 GA MORE PARKWAY,
NORTH FLORIDA DRIVE AND QUAIL HOLLOW. 
          [01:55:02]
THE PICTURE IN THE UPPER RIGHT IS THE PRESSURE PAVE APPLICATION THAT WE USED IN THE DC
RANCH AREA LAST YEAR, AS WELL AS SOME HIGH POINT ESTATES. THIS TECHNIQUE ALLOWS US TO GET IN AND OUT OF
NEIGHBORHOOD WITHIN A DAY. 
          AND IT PRESERVES AND THE TREATMENT FROM GETTING WATER INTRUSION,
WHICH CAUSES PAVEMENT FAILURE. 
          BASICALLY 30 MINUTES AFTER THAT'S APPLIED, IT GOES TO THAT DARK PAVEMENT ON THE LEFT HAND
SIDE OF THAT, WHERE YOU SEE THE WET APPLICATION AND YOU CAN DRIVE ON IT WITHIN 30 MINUTES AFTER
APPLICATION. 
          AND THEN IT'S FULLY CURED WITHIN 24 HOURS. AND THE PROJECTED LIFESPAN OF THE ROAD
IMPROVEMENT IS ABOUT 10 TO 15 ADDITIONAL YEARS ON ASPHALT TREATMENT AS WE DO THESE PROJECTS. 
          AND THEN ALSO CRACK SEALING TO PREVENT WATER INTRUSION,
THEN ROADWAY STRIPING THE TWO MAJOR AREAS THAT'S GOING TO HAVE SIGNIFICANT STRIPING REDONE AS WELL AS ROAD AND ROSELAND PARKWAY. THERE'S ALSO SOME OTHER VARIOUS LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT
THE CITY THAT WILL RECEIVE A REFRESH OF THE ROADWAY STRIPING. 
          THEN WE HAVE SOME ASPHALT SPOT REPAIRS. THIS WILL HAPPEN ON COUNTY ROAD ONE,
34 NORTH FLORIDA DRIVE, GA. MOORE PARKWAY, AND SOME OTHER VARIOUS LOCATIONS. 
          AS YOU CAN SEE, WE DID A SPOT REPAIR ON COUNTY ROAD 101 IN A PREVIOUS ASM. 
          THAT WAS THE ROADWAY PRIOR. AND THEN THIS IS HOW THEY LOOK AFTERWARDS. 
          ALSO CONCRETE PANEL REPLACEMENTS AND SIDEWALK REPLACEMENTS. 
          THIS IS ALSO PAVEMENT PRESSURE PRESERVATION TECHNIQUE. 
          THESE ARE SOME OF THE AREAS THAT WILL BE HAVE PANEL REPLACEMENTS GOING ON,
WHICH WILL BE WEST POINT, CARTER CRUTCHFIELD ROAD, BOWLING AVENUE, LAMPLIGHT DRIVE,
MEANDER, OUTER LOOP AND VARIOUS SIDEWALK LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY WILL BE ADDRESSED WITH CONCRETE PANELS WITH THAT THAT'S THE 2026 ASM. 
          IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM. 
          AND WE REQUEST APPROVAL. ALL RIGHT. IF THERE'S NO QUESTIONS,
I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION FOR ITEM E MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM E SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. 
          IF EVERYBODY WILL PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. 
          WHAT I HEARD IS YOU DON'T WANT DOWNTOWN ROADS TO BE IMPROVED. 
          ALL RIGHT, MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM F. 
          CONSIDER AN ACT AWARD. C SP 2026-037 FOR THE THREE MGD DOWNTOWN WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY
IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT TO DRAKE GENERAL CONTRACTORS, LLC AT THE UNIT PRICES LISTED IN THE AMOUNT OF
66,997,000 PLUS 5% CONTINGENCY IN THE AMOUNT OF 3,349,850, FOR A TOTAL NOT TO EXCEED 70,346,850. WELL, GOOD EVENING AGAIN. I'M EXCITED TO PRESENT TO YOU THE EXPANSION OF THE
WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY. THIS ONE IS LOCATED JUST NORTH OF DOWNTOWN OFF OF FLORIDA DRIVE. 
          IN 2021, COUNCIL APPROVED THE DESIGN CONTRACT FOR THIS EXPANSION. 
          OUR DESIGN ENGINEERS IN THE CROWD TO HELP TODAY IF NEEDED. 
          WE PUT THIS OUT TO BID AS A COMPETITIVE SEALED PROPOSAL. 
          WE RECEIVED FOUR BIDS AND STAFF RECOMMENDS DRAKE GENERAL CONTRACTORS LLC AS THE MOST
QUALIFIED BIDDER. 
          THIS IS A LOOK AT WHAT IT WILL BE WHEN IT'S COMPLETED. 
          THERE'S SOME EXISTING FACILITIES THERE THAT OPERATES AT ALMOST 1 MILLION GALLON PER DAY. 
          WE'LL BE ADDING A LOT OF TREATMENT UNITS TO IMPROVE THAT TO 3 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY. 
          SOME ESSENTIAL ITEMS HERE IS ODOR CONTROL. IT'S EXPENSIVE,
BUT IMPORTANT. 
          THIS IS ANOTHER LOOK AT THE SITE PLAN. THE ITEMS SHOWN IN BOLD ARE PROPOSED WHILE THE
ITEMS SHOWN GRANER SCREENED BACK ARE EXISTING. 
          WE EXPECT CONSTRUCTION TO START IN THE THIRD QUARTER OF THIS YEAR,
AND THE FINAL COMPLETION TO BE IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2029. 
          TAKE A WHILE TO GET DONE. THIS IS THE PRICING THAT WE RECEIVED ON THE FOUR DIFFERENT BIDS. 
          AS YOU CAN SEE, DRAKE IS THE LOWEST AT ABOUT 67 MILLION. 
          THE NEXT LOWEST BIDDER WAS 79 MILLION. SO WE'RE HAPPY WITH HAVING DRAKE COME TO DO THE BID
AND THEN CONTRACT IS ABOUT 920. WE ALSO ARE REQUESTING A 5% CONTINGENCY. 
          IT'S A LITTLE BIT LOWER THAN WE WOULD NORMALLY REQUEST AS A PERCENTAGE FOR CIP PROJECTS,
BUT AS A TOTAL DOLLAR AMOUNT, IT'S ENOUGH TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT AT 3.3 MILLION. 
          AND SO TONIGHT WE'RE ASKING FOR THE 70 MILLION. 
          PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS. 
          THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION FOR ITEM F MOTION.

          THIS RESOLUTION AMENDS THE DIRECTOR RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT FROM REQUIRING RESIDENCY IN
COLLIN COUNTY TO REQUIRING RESIDENCY WITHIN THE CITY. 
          IT ALSO AUTHORIZES THE CITY TO PROVIDE ADMINISTRATIVE AND MANAGEMENT SERVICES TO THE
CORPORATION. 
          ITEM H IS THE CDC BYLAWS. THESE ADMINISTRATIVE AMENDMENTS UPDATE THE STATUTORY REFERENCES
THROUGHOUT THE BYLAWS TO REFLECT THE CURRENT PROVISIONS OF TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE. THE PRIMARY AMENDMENT REVISES THE BOARD OF

          JUST. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY OF THE FOLKS ON THERE. 
          SO I THINK SINCE WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS PROCESS NOW,
IT SEEMS LIKE THE FOLKS WE PICKED ON HERE I DON'T KNOW. 
          I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SEE MORE OF A, JUST A PROCESS INSTEAD OF US JUST PICKING NAMES ON IT. 
          SO THAT'S, I'M VOTING NO, JUST BECAUSE I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE MORE RIGOR AROUND IT,
