WE'LL GO BACK

[2.(a) Discuss the Fiscal Year 2022 Capital Improvement Program/Public Works budget. (Proposed presenter: Director of Public Works Shashi Kumar)]

PUBLIC WORKS BUDGET.

WE HAVE A PRESENTATION BY DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS.

IT'S ACTUALLY KUMAR BEING MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

UH, TONIGHT WE'RE PRESENTING TO YOU THE PROPOSED FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS CIP.

THE FIRST YEAR OF THE FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM IS TYPICALLY ADOPTED AS PART OF THE ANNUAL BUDGET.

WHAT IS A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM OR WHAT IS A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, A PROJECT THAT COSTS MORE THAN $50,000 AND WHICH HAS A USEFUL LIFE SPAN OF 20 YEARS OR LONGER IS GENERALLY CLASSIFIED AS A CIP PROJECT.

IT COULD BE A DESIGN PROJECT, FOR EXAMPLE, A DESIGN OF A PARKS MAINTENANCE FACILITY COULD BE IN ONE YEAR, BUT THAT CAN LEAD TO CONSTRUCTION AND BUILDING THE PARTS MAINTENANCE FACILITY.

SO GENERALLY THESE ARE NON-OPERATIONAL ITEMS AND THESE ARE REFERRED TO AS CAPITAL PROJECTS.

SO WHAT IS A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM? UH, THE GENERAL FAM FOR PLANNING PURPOSES IS FIVE-YEAR, UH, WE IDENTIFIED THE PROJECT, WHAT YOU HAD, IT'S GOING TO BE BUILT, UH, THE FUNDING AND WHAT'S THE SOURCE OF FUNDING.

BUT AGAIN BY CITY CHOCKER WE ADOPT THE FIRST YEAR IN THIS CASE, WHICH IS THE FISCAL YEAR 22 AS PART OF OUR BUDGET PROCESS.

THE OTHER OUT HERE, WHICH IS FROM, UH, UH, 23 TO 26 ARE JUST FOR PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY.

SO HOW DO WE IDENTIFY THE CAPITAL PROJECTS? USUALLY THESE COME FROM PREVIOUS STUDIES, THIS COULD BE A PARKS MASTER PLAN, A FACILITIES NEED ASSESSMENT THAT WAS COMPLETED IN THE PREVIOUSLY OR, UH, MOST OF OUR TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS TYPICALLY TYPICALLY COME OUT OF WHAT WE CALL THE PAYMENT AND SIDEWALK EVALUATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN COMPLETED

[00:05:02]

UM, THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM IS MANAGED BY THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT AND THAT ENCOMPASSES ALL NEEDS AT CROSS-DEPARTMENT CITYWIDE, UH, JEREMY DAVIS, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER, OR C STAFF AND TODD, WHAT IS ALSO HEAVILY INVOLVED.

UH, THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR IS ALSO HEAVILY INVOLVED IN PLANNING FOR UTILITY PROJECTS.

NOW, EVERY YEAR WE SEND OUT A REQUEST FOR RADIUS DEPARTMENTS TO IDENTIFY THE PROJECTS, FOR EXAMPLE, THE PARK PROJECTS, WHAT PROJECTS ARE THE NEEDS, UH, FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY, IN TERMS OF WHAT PROJECTS HAVE THE NEEDS.

THEN WE EVALUATE THOSE BASED ON THE FUNDING OPTIONS.

MORE THAN OFTEN WE HAVE MORE NEEDS THAN WHAT WE CAN AFFORD.

SO THEN IT COMES BACK TO HOW DO WE SELECT THESE PROJECTS? UH, OBVIOUSLY WE LOOK AT MANDATES, UH, FOR EXAMPLE, THE SURFACE WATER PLANT THAT WAS RECENTLY, UH, WAS ONE OF THE MANDATES BECAUSE WE HAVE A MANDATE FROM FORT BEND SUBSIDENCE DISTRICT TO REDUCE OVER-RELIANCE ON GROUND WATER.

AND THE NEXT OPTION IS THE FUNDING MATCH OR USUALLY FORT BEND COUNTY GLO, OR THERE ARE SOME FUNDING MAX.

SO WE TRY TO LEVERAGE THOSE DOLLARS AND TRY TO BUILD A PROJECT.

THIS IS HOW WE PRIORITIZE IN RANK PROJECTS.

SO WHERE ARE WE TODAY? UH, WE CLI, UH, IN THE NEXT FEW SLIDES, YOU'LL SEE THE LIST OF PROJECTS FOR THE POINT 22 AND THE FIVE YEAR PLANNING PERIOD.

SO WE ARE AT THAT STEP WHERE WE ARE PRESENTING THIS PRELIMINARY LIST TO CITY COUNCIL.

OBVIOUSLY WE ARE HERE TO GET YOU FEEDBACK, BUT THEN THE NEXT YEAR IS THEIR FISCAL YEAR 2022 WILL BE INCORPORATED AS PART OF OUR ANNUAL BUDGET AND FORMALLY ADOPTED AS PART OF OUR ANNUAL BUDGET PROCESS.

I MEAN, THAT'S GOING TO BE IN AUGUST OF THIS YEAR NOW, WHAT ARE OUR SOURCES OF FUNDING OR THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AS YOU GO FUNDING? THAT'S THE TYPICAL GENERAL FUNDS, UH, THAT PAYS FOR THE PROGRAMS, DEBT, FINANCING, DIESEL, THE GEO BONDS, UM, MORE THAN LIKELY.

MOST OF OUR BIG CABS CIP PROJECTS ARE FUNDED THROUGH GEO BONDS.

NOW, AS YOU'RE AWARE, UH, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, WE HAVE A BOND EXPLORATORY COMMITTEE CURRENTLY VALIDATING THESE PROJECTS.

UH, WE ARE COMING AT THE END OF THE LAST BOND CYCLE WHERE WE HAVE LIMITED FUNDING IN TERMS OF IMPLEMENTING GEO PROJECTS, WHICH ARE DISCUSSED IN THE NEXT FEW SLIDES CERTIFICATE UPON OBLIGATIONS.

THESE ARE TYPICALLY THE UTILITY PROJECTS, THE WATER AND THE WASTEWATER PROJECTS.

OTHER FUNDING SOURCES ARE LEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENTS.

GRANTS WOULD BE FEW MONTHS, HELLO, INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUES, IMPACT FEES.

AGAIN, THIS IS MORE ON THE UTILITY SIDE, WATER AND WASTEWATER IMPACT FEES, THE BIG COLLECTION, THE DEVELOPERS, AND SOMETIMES DEVELOPER CONTRIBUTIONS.

SO IF ARE TRYING TO BUILD A PROJECT AND THE DEVELOPER HAS SOME MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS, WE'LL GO BUILD THOSE PROJECTS AS WELL.

SO THESE ARE OUR TYPICAL FUNDING SOURCES.

AS I ALLUDED TO EARLIER, THE LAST YEAR ISSUANCE WAS FOR DRAINAGE AND FACILITY SITES.

WE ARE PRETTY MUCH OUT OF, UH, ISSUE MINE.

THE ONLY REMAINING CAPACITY WE HAVE AVAILABLE IS FOR DRAINAGE AND FACILITIES.

THESE TWO ADD UP TO APPROXIMATELY 16.3.

OKAY.

THE MAJORITY OF THOSE 13.4 IS ON THE DRAINAGE SIDE, ROUGHLY 2.9 MILLION IS ON THE FACILITIES SIDE.

SO TYPICALLY WHEN YOU ISSUE BONDS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND YOU CAN'T CO-MINGLE.

SO WE HAD OUT OF CLASS PROBATION, BONDS ON OFFER PARKS.

SO THE ONLY THING, UH, AUTHORIZATION THAT WE HAVE REMAINING AGAIN, I WANT TO EMPHASIZE IS ON DRAINAGE AND A LITTLE, UH, LIMITED AMOUNT ON FACILITIES.

AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THE BOND EXPLORATORY COMMITTEE LOOKING AT ISSUING, UH, POTENTIAL ISSUING, UH, FUTURE BONDS TO FUND SUCH PROJECTS.

SO NOW WE'LL GET TO THE PROPOSED PROJECTS.

AND AGAIN, WE'RE LOOKING AT FISCAL YEAR 22 PROPOSED PROJECTS, AND THIS IS A LISTING OF THE PROJECTS AND I WILL, UH, ON THE NEXT SLIDE, I'LL EXPAND ON THOSE PROJECTS.

THE FIRST ONE IS A DRAINAGE PROJECT, WHICH IS THE KIDNEY HOLLOWED DANBURY THE PATIENT.

UM, THE NEXT ONE IS THE PUBLIC SAFETY DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS BEYOND THIS IS MORE A ENGINEERING ASSESSMENT OR A HUNDRED THOUSAND ONE IS ANY OSI STANDS FOR NORTHEAST ARCH TO PRE-CAL REGIONAL DETENTION SYSTEM UPDATE.

AND AGAIN, THIS IS MORE AN ENGINEERING AT FORT.

UH, THE FOURTH ONE ON THE DRAINAGE SIDE IS APPLAUD ALERT SYSTEM.

UH, WE RECENTLY COMPLETED, UH, NINE, UH, INSTALLATIONS, AND THIS IS TO FIND ADDITIONAL LIGHT PROJECTS.

AND AGAIN, I'LL EXPAND ON THOSE ON THE NEXT SLIDE.

SO THE DRAINAGE PROJECTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 20, APPROXIMATELY FOUR AND A HALF MILLION

[00:10:01]

AND AGAIN, UH, PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE BONDING LEFT IS 2.89 MILLION, AND WE'RE TAILORING THESE PROJECTS TO THE FUNDING AVAILABILITY THAT WE HAVE.

UH, WE DO HAVE A PARKS MAINTENANCE FACILITY PROJECT CURRENTLY UNDERWAY.

IT'S FUNDED TO AN EXTENT OF THREE AND A HALF MILLION WE'RE MEETING AT EASTERN FUNDING.

AND THIS IS FAR ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO THE TUNE OF $1.4 MILLION FOR THAT.

THE NEXT ONE IS TO EVALUATE THE NEED FOR ANIMAL SHELTER, UH, EXPANSION.

UH, THE THIRD PROJECT IS, UH, VALLEY.

YOU NEED FOUR GENERATOR AND MAKE THE UPGRADES AT THE CITY HALL COMPLEX, WHICH INCLUDES THIS BUILDING HERE.

AND THE NEXT TWO ARE RENOVATION OF OUR STATIONS.

NUMBER THREE, AND NUMBER FOUR.

AND I WILL EXPAND A LITTLE BIT ON THESE PROPOSED PROJECTS FOR 2200 DRAINAGE SITE, KATIE HOLLOW DAM REHAB.

THIS IS A COUNTY OWNED PARK, BUT IT HAS A DUAL PURPOSE.

IT PROVIDES DRAINAGE DETENTION FOR A LARGE PART OF THE CITY.

THIS IS FOR THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH WHERE IT IS, IT'S RIGHT AROUND THE HIGHWAY SIX IN VICKSBURG.

UH, THE STATE DOES A DAM SAFETY INSPECTION AND, UH, THE REPORT DID NOT COME OUT VERY GOOD.

UH, THERE ARE SOME RETROFITS THAT WE NEED TO DO AGAIN.

THIS IS, UH, WE ARE EXPECTING COUNTY TO MATCH 50% OF THE FUNDING AND THE REMAINING FUNDING IS FOR CITIES.

THE NEXT ONE, PUBLIC SAFETY VANTAGE IMPROVEMENT STUDY DURING HARVEY IN DURING MAJOR STORMS. WE HAVE MITNESS THE PARKING LOT OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY AT AS EXPERIENCED FLOODING.

WE SAW THAT DURING HARVEY, UH, WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY, UH, CARTWRIGHT ROAD IS PLANNED FOR RECONSTRUCTION.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A GIANT MOBILITY PROJECT.

SO WE SEE SOME OPPORTUNITIES WHERE WE CAN IMPROVE DRAINAGE, WHICH IS LIMITED TO THE CITY SIDE OF THE SITE.

SO THIS IS AN ENGINEERING STUDY TO ASSESS WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

THE THIRD PROJECT KNOCK.

THESE STARTS TO CREEK REGIONAL DETENTION.

THE GENERAL AREA IS EAST OF 92 AND SOUTH OF, UH, UH, INDEPENDENCE, UH, THAT OUR REGIONAL DETENTION FACILITIES HERE, WHICH IS VERY BENEFICIAL TO THE CITY.

WE CAN SALVAGE MORE LAND FOR DEVELOPMENT.

UH, THERE MAY BE OPPORTUNITIES TO FURTHER EXPAND THIS DETENTION POND SO WE CAN, UH, HAVE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT AND ALSO MITIGATE, UH, DRAINAGE ISSUES THAT WE MAY HAVE.

SO THIS IS AGAIN, AN ENGINEERING STUDY.

THE FOURTH ONE IS A VERY IMPORTANT PROJECT.

WE RECENTLY INSTALLED NINE.

WHAT WE REFER TO AS FLOOD GAUGES.

UH, THIS IS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH HARRIS COUNTY AND, UH, GLO FUNDS THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED, UH, WHICH MEASURES RAINFALL AND, UM, MEASURES AND GIVES US AN EARLY WARNING IF THE CREEKS ARE POTENTIALLY OR FLOWING OR THERE'S A FLOODING THREAT.

AND THIS HAS BEEN, THIS HAS BEEN A TWO-YEAR EFFORT THAT THE CITY WAS ABLE TO PARTNER WITH GLOO AS WELL AS HARRIS COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT TO MAKE THIS INFORMATION AVAILABLE, LIVE ON THE WEBSITE.

WE TESTED IT FIRST TIME DURING THE JULY 40 EVENT, AND JUST CAME ONLINE ABOUT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.

NOW WE HAD A FUNDING FOR THIS PROJECT FROM THE GMO.

OBVIOUSLY IT CAME SOME WITH SOME RESTRICTIONS THAT THESE STATIONS HAD TO BE INSTALLED ONLY WITHIN CDBG AREAS.

NOW THAT WE HAVE COMPLETED AND DONE A PROJECT, WE WANTED THIS TO BE, UH, INSTALLED ACROSS THE CITY AT OTHER NINE LOCATIONS.

SO THIS IS ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO EXPAND THAT NETWORK FOR AREAS OUTSIDE THE CITY.

ON THE FACILITY SIDE.

UH, AGAIN, I TALKED ABOUT PARKS, MAINTENANCE FACILITY NEEDING ADDITIONAL FUNDING.

UH, THAT'S ATTRIBUTE IT TO, UH, PRIMARILY TO TWO FACTORS, ONE TO DO BUILDING A AESTHETIC ANNOUNCEMENTS BECAUSE IT'S AT A CPN DOUBLE TAX INVESTMENT RESOURCE FUNDING.

THE PREVIOUS FUNDING THREE AND A HALF MILLION CAME FROM THAT.

ALSO THERE HAVE BEEN SOME COST ESCALATION IN ON THE FACILITIES SIDE.

SO THIS IS THE ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO SUPPLEMENT THE THREE AND A HALF MILLION ALREADY COMMITTED FOR THIS PROJECT.

THE NEXT ONE ON THE FACILITY SIDE IS EXPANSION EVALUATION.

THE CITY'S GROWING, SO IS THE NEED FOR OUR ANIMAL SHELTER.

SO, UH, THIS WILL, UH, UH, EVALUATE THE SPACE PLANNING PURPOSES FOR ANY POTENTIAL FUTURE EXPANSION OF THE ANIMAL SHELTER.

NOW, IF I COULD, ON THAT PARTICULAR ITEM, WE ARE HAVING DISCUSSIONS WITH CITY OF STAFFORD WHO SHARES WITH US, THERE'S BEEN DISCUSSION OR THERE BEEN A THEM TALKING ABOUT POTENTIAL OF THEM BUILDING THEIR OWN.

SO WE WANT TO LOOK AND SEE WHAT TIMEFRAME THAT MAY BE, BECAUSE THAT COULD PLAY INTO THIS AS WELL.

THANK YOU, BILL.

AND IF I MAY EXPAND A LITTLE BIT ON THAT, WE HAVE A PARTNERSHIP WITH STAFFORD, AGAIN, AS

[00:15:01]

SO WE WILL EVALUATE, UH, WHAT EXPANSION NEEDS, UH, MINNESOTA CITY WILL HAVE SHOULD STAFFORD DECIDE TO PURSUE THAT PATH.

UH, THE THIRD PROJECT AND THE MOST IMPORTANT PROJECTS IS THE FACILITY GENERATOR, ASSESSMENT AND UPGRADES.

AND I'M GOING TO SPEND A LITTLE TIME ON THIS.

UH, WE HAVE, UH, THIS PROJECT HAS COME TO LIMELIGHT, A NUMBER OF INSTANCES IN THE PAST DURING THIS WINTER STORM, DURING HARVEY, PART OF CITY HALL AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES HAS GENERATORS.

IT CAN'T POWER ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES OF THESE BUILDINGS, BUT THE LIMITED AMOUNT OF ONLY THIS FACILITY HERE, THE COMMUNITY CENTER DOES NOT HAVE A BACKUP GENERATORS.

UH, WHEN WE HAVE LOOKED AT, IN PREVIOUS INSTANCES WHERE WE HAVE TO SHELTER, UM, THE LACK OF GENDER RACHEL HAS MADE THAT DECISION, UH, KIND OF, UH, HARD.

SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS TO HAVE A FULL FLEDGED GENERATOR THAT CAN POP IT UP COMMUNITY CENTER, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, AND CITY HALL, AND THEN TRY TO REPURPOSE THOSE REMAINING TWO SMALL GENERATORS TO SERVE OTHER FACILITIES, WHICH COULD INCLUDE THE PARKS AND REC FACILITY.

SO IT INCLUDES A COMPONENT TO DO THE ASSESSMENT FIRST AND THEN TO DO THE UPGRADE.

THE OTHER TWO FIRE STATION, NUMBER THREE AND FIVE STATION NUMBER FOUR, SEVERAL UPGRADES TO THE BAY AREAS OF THESE FIRE STATION, AS WELL AS TO ADDRESS SOME STRUCTURAL ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED THAT PRETTY MUCH AT SUB THE FUNDING, UH, REMAINING FOR THE FACILITIES PROJECTS, THE FYE 22 FACILITIES PROJECT, SO TO SPEAK, MOVING ON TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

UM, MOST OF THE CITY COUNTY, UH, MOST OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS AND MAYOR IS AWARE THAT ONE SENSE OF OUR SALES TAX GOES TO THEM.

METRO METRO REBATES BACK TO US HALF CENTS MINUS SOME ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES OR CURRENT YEAR, WHICH IS, UH, FISCAL YEAR 21.

WE ARE PROJECTED TO RECEIVE A BARK $4.9 MILLION IN METRO FUNDS OR THE UPCOMING HERE.

THE PROJECTION IS ESTIMATED AT 4.8 BILLION.

AND AGAIN, THESE ARE JUST PROJECTIONS.

WE WON'T KNOW UNTIL THE YEAR HANDS AS TO HOW MUCH MONEY WE GET.

A METRO HAS LIMITATIONS ON WHAT THESE FUNDS CAN BE USED FOR GENERALLY, UH, THESE FUNDS CAN BE USED FOR MOBILITY INITIATIVES OR PURPOSES.

WHAT WE HAVE PROPOSED FOR FYI 22 IS THE FIRST ONE IS TRAFFIC STUDIES.

THIS INCLUDES A STOP WARRANT ANALYSIS OR ANY, UH, SIGNALIZATION THAT WE HAVE TO DO.

THESE ARE ENGINEERING STUDIES.

THE SECOND ONE IS GIS MAPPING.

UH, THIS RELATES TO, UH, DEVELOPING AERIAL IMAGERY IN WHAT WE CALL PLANNING METRICS TO SUPPORT, UH, THE ENGINEERING DECISIONS.

OBVIOUSLY, YEAH, 400,000 DOES COMMITTED TOWARDS SITE.

THAT'S, THAT'S THE FUNDING TOWARDS SIDEWALK.

WE DO HAVE PAYMENT MAINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT PROGRAM AT ONE AND A HALF MILLION.

AND THIS IS THE PROGRAM THAT FUNDS POTHOLE REPAIRS PANEL REPLACEMENTS ACROSS THE CITY.

AND WE'RE SEEING A GROWING NEED FOR THIS ACTUALLY FOR THE CURRENT YEAR, FY 21.

YOU'VE PRETTY MUCH EXHAUSTED ALL THE MONEY ON THE PROJECTS.

SO THAT IS A GROWING NEED FOR PAYMENT REHABILITATION.

THE NEXT ONE IS SIGNAL LAB.

EVERY YEAR WE LOOK AT, UH, ACTUALLY UPGRADING THE SIGNALS, WHAT WE CALL THE SPAN, WATCH SIGNALS.

THE DANGLING SIGNALS THAT YOU SEE INTO MAX, TOM SIGNALS, AND WE BOUGHT IT FOR A RECONSTRUCTION OF ONE OF THE SIGNALS, THE NEXT ONE, CLASSIC OPERATION SIGNAL MAINTENANCES.

THAT'S THE COST, THAT'S THE FUNDING THAT'S ALLOCATED TO CONTRACTUAL SERVICES TO MAINTAIN THE SIGNAL.

IT INCLUDES SIGNAL BOX UPGRADES TO OUR IDEAS, WHICH IS THE, UH, INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM.

ONE OF THE THINGS THIS YEAR, WE'RE ALSO PLANNING ON DOING HIS OR IDENTIFIED THE NEED IS CITYWIDE RE STRIPING OF LANES.

AS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM AS YOU, HAVEN'T DRIVEN ACROSS THE CITY, THE WHITE STRIPING ON THE CITY STREETS IS FADING AT MANY LOCATIONS AND WE'RE HAVING TO PLAY CATCH UP.

UH, SO WE'RE ALLOCATING HUNDRED 50,000 FOR THAT, THE NEXT BIG ONE PARK EIGHT 90 REIMBURSEMENT.

UH, THIS IS UPPER REIMBURSEMENT.

THIS IS IN THE PARK 90 LAKEVIEW BUSINESS PARK AREA WHERE THE, UM, THE AGREEMENT THAT THE CITY HAS, THE DEVELOPER, UH, HAS CAN'T SEEK REIMBURSEMENT UP TO SEVEN YEARS OR THE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE THAT THE DEVELOPER BUILT IN COMING TO THE TAIL END OF IT.

BUT THIS YEAR THERE'S A BIG CHUNK OF 2.3, FOUR 7 MILLION THAT WE'RE EXPECTING

[00:20:01]

SO WE'RE BUDGETING FOR THEM, THE NEXT BIKE AND PLANS FOR THE GENERAL FUND THAT PAYS FOR SALARIES TO OUR STREETS AND TRAFFIC OPERATIONS, UH, UM, THAT IS BUDGETED AT $1 MILLION AND ANOTHER ONE RIGHT.

MADE TO SIENNA PLANTATION MANAGEMENT DISTRICT.

AGAIN, THIS IS AN AGREEMENT THAT THE CITY HAS SOME OF THE TAX REINVESTMENT ZONE MONEY THAT THE CITY GETS ASKED TO BE REBATED TO SEE AN, A MANAGEMENT DISTRICT FOR ONE OF THE AGREEMENTS WE HAVE.

AND THAT'S THE MONEY THAT'S BUDGETED.

THE LAST ONE MIGHT CLAIM RE STRIPING, UH, I BELIEVE, UH, IN 2013 CITY, UH, MARCH 14 MILE LANES OF BIKE LANES ACROSS CITY, UH, YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED IT IT'S FADING OUT AND DATA'S GONE TO AN EXTENT THAT WE'RE SEEING A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS.

AND THAT WOULD, UH, I ESTIMATE IS THAT IT WOULD COST 5,000 TO RESTRIPE THE ENTIRE 14 MILE LANES OF THE BIKE LANES.

SO IF YOU ADD THE TOTAL, UH, THE, THESE PROJECTS WOULD COST US ROUGHLY AROUND 7.1 MILLION.

AND AS I, UH, UM, SAID EARLIER, THE ANTICIPATED REVENUES FOR FISCAL YEAR 22 IS ABOUT 4.8.

UH, BUT WE DO HAVE FUN BALANCE THAT CAN PAY FOR THE PARK EIGHT 90 REIMBURSEMENT.

THAT'S A VERY BIG ITEM THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE, UH, BUT MINUS THAT, UH, THE REVENUES AND THE EXPENSES SHOULD OFFSET, UH, WHAT WE PROJECT FOR METRO WENT ON TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

THESE ARE THE UTILITIES PROJECT.

UH, AGAIN, A LOT OF THESE PROJECTS ARE DRIVEN BY GROWTH AND SOMETIMES THE AGE OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

UH, THESE ARE OUR GROUNDWATER PLANT IMPROVEMENTS, UH, WHICH IS THE, UH, GROUND STORAGE TANKS AT MUSTANG PLANT NUMBER ONE, AND PLANT NUMBER TWO, UH, WE CURRENTLY ARE FINISHING THE PHASE ONE EXPANSION OF THE MUSTANG PLAN, BUT WE HAVE SO MUCH GROWTH THAT WE'RE ALREADY LOOKING AT DESIGNING PHASE TWO.

AND WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT PHASE THREE IN TERMS OF LAND PURCHASE.

SO THESE, WE, WE ARE BUDGETING FOR THOSE SIMILARLY ON THE SANITARY SEWER COLLECTION AND WATER DISTRIBUTION SIDE, WE'RE HAVING TO DO DESIGN TO KEEP UP WITH THE GROWTH.

UH, THE NEXT 1, 1, 1 0.5 MGD, UH, GALLON STORAGE TANK CONSTRUCTION.

THIS IS ABOUT SURFACE WATER PLAN.

WE EXPANDED THE PLAN, BUT WE NEED MORE STORAGE CAPACITY.

UH, AND AGAIN, THAT IS A REHAB PROJECT ABOUT STEEPBANK PLANT BLANKLY WASTEWATER PLANT, AND THIS ALL ACCOUNT AMOUNTS TO 14.2 MILLION FOR FISCAL YEAR 22.

AGAIN, THIS IS JUST A RENDERING OR ILLUSTRATION OF OUR, UH, PLANTS.

THIS IS THE MUSTANG BY YOUR WATER PLAN, WHAT YOU SEE ON YOUR RIGHT SIDE.

AND WE'RE LOOKING AT POTENTIAL LAND ACQUISITION FOR FUTURE EXPANSION ON THIS PARTICULAR SLIDE AGAIN, UH, ON THIS SLIDE, YOU LOOK AT THE WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, OR SORRY, THE WASTEWATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, UH, THAT HAS A NUMBER OF PRODUCTS IN THE PIPELINE, RIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION OF FORT BEND TOLL ROAD AND HYBRIDS.

WE'RE HAVING TO BUILD A WAISTLINE INFRASTRUCTURE TO ACCOMMODATE THIS GROWTH.

AND THESE PROJECTS ARE INTENDED TO SERVE THAT PURPOSE AGAIN.

UH, THIS IS MORE ON THE WATER SIDE.

UM, YOU KNOWN THAT A SURFACE WATER PLANT MEETS THE GROUND WATER REDUCTION MANDATES.

UH, SO PART OF THAT WAS HAVING TO EXPAND THE SERVICE AREA.

SO WE'RE HAVING TO EXPAND THE WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, UH, TO MEET THESE MANDATES AS WELL AS TO ACCOMMODATE THE GROWTH.

UH, AGAIN, THIS IS A ILLUSTRATION OF ALL THE PROJECTS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT COMING TO THE SUMMARY SLIDE HERE, UH, FISCAL YEAR 22, UM, BETWEEN DRAINAGE FACILITIES AND TRANSPORTATION, WE HAVE $12.5 MILLION WORTH OF PROJECTS.

UH, BUT AGAIN, THE OUT HERE ARE JUST FOR PLANNING PURPOSES AND, UH, WE JUST KEEP AN EYE ON THOSE PROJECTS.

BUT AGAIN, AS WE COME TO THE NEXT YEAR, WE'LL FINALIZE ON THOSE PROJECTS COMING TO THE UTILITIES, UH, AGAIN ON, UH, FISCAL YEAR 22, WE HAVE 14.2 MILLION WATER PROJECTS.

AND IN THE FIVE-YEAR PLANNING CYCLE, WE HAVE ROUGHLY A $48 MILLION WORTH OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.

THAT IS ALL I HAVE FOR YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE'LL BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS THEM.

THANKS TO JESSE.

I DO HAVE SOME, UH, 16.2 REMAINING AUTHORIZATION FROM THE UNISSUED BONDS.

SO DO WE HAVE THAT, IS THAT, UH, IN ORDER FOR US TO USE THAT WE HAVE TO GO BACK AND SELL THE

[00:25:01]

THE CITY HAS NOT SOLD THE BONDS YET BECAUSE WE WILL INCUR COSTS AND INTEREST EXPENSES.

UH, BUT ONCE THE COUNCIL APPROVES THESE PROJECTS COME FISCAL YEAR 22, WE'LL GO SELL THESE BONDS, BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO GO TO THE ORDERS.

AND THE OTHER THING, TOO, DEPENDING ON WHAT OCCURS WITH THE BONDS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING NOW, IN ORDER TO SAVE ON ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS, THEN WE MAY WAIT AND GET THOSE ALL AT ONE TIME.

AND IN CALENDAR YEAR 2022.

SO THERE'S KITTY HOLLOW.

I KNOW THAT THAT'S NOT OURS THAT'S COUNTY, THAT IS A COUNTY PARK FACILITY, BUT IT ALSO SERVES A DRAINAGE PURPOSE.

THERE'S A HUGE, UH, DETENTION OR DRAINAGE THAT HOLDS WITHIN THAT, UH, PROPERTY.

SO ARE THEY CONTRIBUTING TO US? YES, SIR.

50%.

SO OUR 50% COST, IS IT 2 MILLION OR IS IT 2 MILLION TOTAL? UH, THE TOTAL PRODUCT IS GIVE OR TAKE, UH, 4 MILLION.

OUR CONTRIBUTION IS ESTIMATED AT 2 MILLION.

OKAY.

NO, ACTUALLY I HAVE A QUESTION.

UM, AND

[2.(b) Presentation on Drainage and the Watershed Master Plan Update Project. (Proposed presenters: Director of Public Works Shashi Kumar and Assistant City Engineer Jeremy Davis)]

AND I NOTICED IT'S NOT INCLUDED IN YOUR FIVE-YEAR PROPOSED PLAN.

HAS ANY OF THESE ABILITY STUDIES BEEN DONE TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE GOING TO ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES IN THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN, OR WE'RE GOING TO ADDRESS THEM THE 10 YEAR PLAN ON WHAT, BECAUSE I'M NOTICING IT'S NOT HERE AND NOTHING IS THE QUESTION MA'AM WHEN WE WERE SUPPOSED TO DO IT, RAYMOND'S PRESENTATION, BUT WE'LL BE COMING BACK TO YOU IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT DRAINAGE.

WE HAVE JUST WRAPPING UP OUR MASTER DRAINAGE PLAN.

THIS IS A HIGH LEVEL ASSESSMENT.

AND AFTER THAT, WE BUILD THE ZOOMING ON THE PROBLEM MEDIA.

SO AS OF NOW, WE'VE NOT IDENTIFIED A PROJECT.

THAT'S WHY IT'S NOT IN THE PLAN AND A LOT OF OUR BRAIN INTO THE SPONSOR DRAINAGE ISSUES OR THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE MONTHS AS WELL.

SO WHEN WE GET AN OPPORTUNITY, WE'LL PARTNER WITH THEM, THEN, I MEAN, OPPORTUNITY CREEKS AND DRAINAGE ACT TOGETHER AS DRAINAGE SYSTEM.

WHEN WE ARE TRYING TO REBUILD THE STREET, WE'LL WORK WITH THE MOST TO SEE IF WE CAN IMPROVE THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM.

DO YOU FORESEE THAT HAPPENING ANY TIME? UM, YOU KNOW, UM, I'M TRYING TO, I'M LOOKING AT YOUR FIVE-YEAR PLAN AND I KNOW THIS IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT, BUT I'M JUST TRYING TO SAY, WILL THERE BE AN ISSUE WHERE YOU WOULD ADDRESS THAT WITHIN A FIVE-YEAR PLAN OR IN ANY SO POTENTIALLY? AND ALSO WE HAVE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT DRAINAGE IS ONE THING, A REGIONAL DRAINAGE AREA DRAINAGE IS WHAT THESE FOCUS ON SAYING YES, WHEN WE PUT DRAINAGE IN HERE, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE REFERRING TO.

WHEN WE LOOK AT STREET DESIGN AND THINGS LIKE THAT, IF THERE IS A DRAINAGE ISSUE, AND AGAIN, WE'LL, WE'LL COME BACK AND PROVIDE YOU MORE CLARITY ON INFORMATION REGARDING WHAT DRAINAGE AND WHAT FLOODING IS BECAUSE IT'S NOT FLOODING.

SO THAT WON'T ADDRESS NECESSARILY ALL THOSE, BUT WE'LL BE LOOKING, AS HE MENTIONED WITH MUDS AND OTHERS WHO HAVE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT, UH, COORDINATING AND POSSIBILITY OF THEM INCREASING THEIR PIPE SIZE AND THINGS SUCH AS THAT BE LOOKING AT IT.

AND IT'LL ALSO ALLOW BE CONTINGENT ON WHAT WE DO WITH THE UPCOMING PROPOSED BOND, UH, PROGRAM ACTION.

THANK YOU, BILLER SASHI ON THE ANIMAL SHELTER EXPANSION.

UM, ONE IDEA THAT I'D LIKE TO THINK ABOUT IS PERHAPS COMBINING THE PARKS MAINTENANCE FACILITY AND THE SHELTER TOGETHER, BECAUSE IN THE BACK WE HAVE THE LARGE LOT, BUT THEN WE ALSO HAVE A LARGE STRIP OF LAND BACK THERE.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT MAKES SENSE, BUT IT'D BE KIND OF COOL TO LOOK INTO THAT A GREAT CONCEPT COUNCIL MEMBER.

WE WERE FAIRLY FAR ALONG ON THE PARKS MAINTENANCE FACILITY.

THAT LAND IS PRETTY TIGHT, KIND OF A TRIANGULAR PIECE.

THERE'S A LOT OF STORIES, SPACE THAT THE PARKS NEEDS.

I CAN PRETTY CONFIDENTLY SAY THAT THEY MAY NOT FIT THE NEEDS FOR THE ANIMAL SHELTER, BUT THAT'S CERTAINLY THAT WE LOOKED INTO TO SEE IF WE CAN COMBINE CO-MINGLED ANY OTHER FACILITIES.

SO ONE THING TOO, FOR ACCESSIBILITY, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S EASILY ACCESSIBLE BY THE PUBLIC FOR THE BACK OF THAT.

IT MAY NOT BE.

YEAH, I WAS THINKING OF THE TRAIL.

THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD IS REGARDING THE PUBLIC SAFETY DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT STUDY, NO, A HUNDRED THOUSAND, A HUNDRED THOUSAND, BUT DOES THE COUNTY, OR DO OTHER CITIES AROUND US HAVE THE CAPABILITIES OF DOING A STUDY, SUCH AS THIS? I DON'T WANT A CITY STUDY DONE BY THE COUNTY, BUT BECAUSE WE NEED PROFESSIONAL PROFESSIONALS, BUT, AND THIS, LET ME KIND OF FIND EXPANDED ON THAT.

COUNCIL MEMBER HAS SHOWED A VAN THAT IS A MOBILITY BOND PROJECT TO RECONSTRUCT CARTWRIGHT TO THAT PIECE.

SO THERE'S A BIG CHUNK OF, UH, DRAINAGE INCLUDED AS PART OF THE PROJECT, JUST LIKE, AS I REFERRED TO THE COUNCIL MEMBER, WHEN WE GO REBUILD THE STREET, THE DRAIN SYSTEM IS PART OF THE STREET.

SO, UH, THE COUNTY MOBILITY PROJECT WILL LOOK AT THE DRAINAGE OF CARTWRIGHT AS WELL AS THE STREET RECONSTRUCTION, BUT THEN WE HAVE INTERNAL FLOODING ISSUES IN THE PARKING LOT

[00:30:01]

SO WE ARE ZOOMING IN ON ONLY INTERNAL PARKING LOT IN WHAT KIND OF ADVANCEMENTS WE HAVE TO DO, SO WE CAN PROPERLY TIGHT INTO THE THREE DRAINAGE SYSTEM.

AND SO THESE TWO EFFORTS HAVE TO GO AND IN HAND BECAUSE THAT PRODUCT IS STARTING.

SO WE'VE GOT TO STOP THIS PROJECT.

SO THIS MAY BE SOLELY CITY'S EFFORT, BUT THEN, UH, THIS PRODUCT WILL ELEVATE SOME OF THE PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE HERE.

I HOPE I'M CLEAR, UH, WHEN YOU DO THE, UH, THE DRAINAGE AND THEN I GUESS LOOK AT THE, UM, UH, THE PROJECTS.

CAN YOU TELL ME WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S BEEN ANY DIALOGUE WITH FORD BEEN, UH, DRAINING IN REGARDS TO THE LONG POINT CREEK FLOODING ISSUE THAT WE HAVE ON THE NEW POINT COUNCIL MEMBER, AS I'M AWARE OFF, UH, THE COUNTY IS LOOKING AT SOME KIND OF IMPROVEMENTS THERE ON LONG POINT.

UH, I KNOW WE, UH, WE ARE LOOKING AT IT AS PART OF OUR MASTER DRAINAGE PLAN UPDATE.

THE CITY SIDE OF THE COUNTY IS LOOKING AT IT THE LAST TIME I HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT.

I BELIEVE YOU WERE PART OF THE CONVERSATION.

UH, THE COUNTY IS LOOKING AT SOME KIND OF A DRAINAGE PROJECT TO PROVIDE SOME RELIEF ON LONG POINT.

WE HAVE ANY, UH, PARTICIPATION IN THAT PROJECT.

I THINK THAT EXPECTING CITY'S FUNDS ON IT, BUT I CAN CHECK WITH THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT AND PROVIDING AN UPDATE.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

I GUESS MY QUESTION, I NOTICED THE 400,000 THAT'S BUDGETED FOR SIDEWALK REPAIR SEEMS A LITTLE LOW TO ME.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE RATIONALE FOR THAT? YES, MA'AM.

UH, I THINK, UH, WE DID CALL IT A LITTLE BIT DURING OUR BULB BUDGET PRESENTATION, UH, THE COUNTS, UH, LAST YEAR FISCAL YEAR 21, THERE WAS $1.8 MILLION ONE TIME FUNDING PUT INTO THE SIDEWALK PROGRAM.

AND THAT WAS THE MONEY FROM THE GENERAL FUND THAT CAME IN NOW, TYPICAL EVERY YEAR WE HAVE 400,000, SO BM JUST EXHAUSTED, MAYBE ABOUT A MILLION PLUS WORTH OF WORK ON THE SIDEWALKS.

SO THERE WILL BE A ROUGHLY MILLION OR LESS THAN A MILLION OF MONEY CARRIED OR FROM THE LAST YEAR TO THIS YEAR.

SO WE DO HAVE ADEQUATE ADEQUATE FUNDING.

AND, UH, AS OUR LAST ASSESSMENT WAS DONE, THERE WAS ROUGHLY TWO PLUS MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF SIDEWALK REPAIRS TO BE DONE.

SO WE'VE COMPLETED A MILLION AND WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER MILLION PLUS 400,000.

SO I THINK WE'RE GOOD AT LEAST UNTIL THE END OF THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR, WHICH HAS FYI 22 TO ADDRESS ALL THE SIDEWALKS THAT'S ON OUR INVENTORY.

IT'S ACTUALLY GOT A COUPLE OF QUICK QUESTIONS.

ONE ON THE PARK, EIGHT 90 REIMBURSEMENT.

HOW MUCH LONGER DO WE HAVE TO REIMBURSE THEM? DO WE HAVE A FIGURE ON THAT NOW? WHEN WILL WE BE DONE WITH THAT? YES, SIR.

IF YOU ARE, IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT MY CURRENT SLIDE, THEY'RE FISCALLY AT 22, WE ARE BUDGETING 2.347.

AND FOR FISCAL YEAR 23, WE'RE BUDGETING 1.1.

OUR FINANCE STATEMENT INFORMS ME THAT AFTER 23, WE'RE PRETTY MUCH DONE.

SO THOSE MONIES WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ANY OTHER.

UH, WE HAVE, WE HAVE PRESSING NEEDS ON A STREET REHAB, AS I SAID, BMP.

AND, UH, AND, UH, UH, THE RECOMMENDATION HAS BEEN THAT WE, UH, WE NEED $3 MILLION.

AGAIN, WE ARE TIED BECAUSE OF THIS REIMBURSEMENT, UH, BUT AFTER 2020, WE CAN DO ALL THAT TOWARDS THAT EFFORT.

AND TO CLARIFY ON THE, UH, THE PROJECT, THERE IS A CAP OF $7 MILLION AND WE, UH, WE ONLY PAY BACK WHAT THEY PULLED DOWN AND SO IT'S WHAT THEY KILL.

AND SO WE AREN'T LOSING ANYTHING AND THEY HAD TO PROVIDE US FOR REIMBURSEMENT.

GOTCHA.

UM, THE OTHER QUESTION THAT I HAVE IS RELATIVE TO, YOU KNOW, I CURRENTLY SERVE ON THE HPAC WATER RESOURCES, UH, BOARD COMMITTEE, AND, UH, WE HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT THE GLOC REGIONAL MITIGATION, UH, PROGRAM, AS FAR AS THE ALLOCATING FUNDS.

UH, HAVE WE BEEN AGGRESSIVELY LOOKING INTO THE, OR DO WE QUALIFY TO RECEIVE MONIES, UH, THROUGH THAT? BECAUSE I KNOW I BROUGHT IT UP, UH, BUT YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE TOO, THERE'S SOMEONE FROM THE CITY GOING OUT TO THESE DOLLARS, GREAT QUESTION, COUNCIL MEMBER, JEREMY'S WORKING ON IT.

UH, THESE, WE ARE, WE HAVE BEEN VERY AGGRESSIVE IN PURSUING ANY GRANT OPPORTUNITIES AND THE FLOOD GATES PRODUCT WAS A GRANT OPPORTUNITY.

UH, WE ARE ALSO SEEING, UH, POTENTIAL DRAINAGE ISSUES THAT MAY COME DOWN THE ROAD.

IF WE CAN GET ANY OTHER FEMA GRANT MONEY TO LOOK INTO IT MORE IN DETAIL.

THAT'S ONE OF THE OPPORTUNITIES WE'RE ACTIVELY PURSUING, BUT ALSO WE HAD ALSO MADE AVEDA FOR FUTURE FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES.

UH, THAT WILL BE THAT, THAT MAYBE AT LEAST IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT IT, LOOKING INTO THAT AS WELL.

WE ALSO WERE ABLE TO GET A MILLION IN FUNDING FOR GEO OR EXCUSE ME FOR THE PROJECT.

AND THAT'S IN PROCESS PROCESS.

CORRECT.

THANK YOU, BILL.

NOW, I'VE JUST A COUPLE MORE QUICK ONES.

UH, WE'VE GOT NINE FLOOD GAUGES THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ACQUIRING THE NINE THAT WE ALREADY

[00:35:01]

ARE THEY EFFECTIVE? THEY JUST WORKED PERFECTLY FINE COUNCIL MEMBER.

AND ONE OF THESE DAYS WE'LL SHARE WITH YOU, UH, HOW YOU CAN USE THEM.

WE TESTED DURING THE JULY 4TH EVENT IN AN EMAIL THAT, UH, BILL FORWARDED IN NEW IN THE STAFF REPORT.

UH, THIS, THOSE ARE PHENOMENAL GAUGES, ANYBODY, ANY PUBLIC AND GO ON SITE AND LOOK AT THE RAINFALL DATA AS WELL AS HAWAII.

THE CREEKS ARE, UH, WE JUST STARTED BETA TESTING THAT SO TO SPEAK, BUT SOMETIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE, WE'LL BE SHARING THAT WITH COUNCIL AS WELL AS THE CITIZENS.

OKAY.

THE NEXT ONE IS WE'VE GOT MONEY FOR GENERATOR.

I KNOW I'VE ASKED THIS QUESTION BEFORE, AS FAR AS GENERATORS, DO WE HAVE ANY OPPORTUNITIES OF USING ANY OF THE, UH, THE CARES MONEY FOR THESE GENERATORS? I THINK THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT, UH, WE LOOKED AT AND, UH, YOU KNOW, WE, WHAT DO WE HAVE MEN AND A HALF THAT WE'RE, UH, WE'RE LOOKING AT? YES, SIR.

I THINK GLEN HAS AN ITEM TODAY TO PRESENT YOU.

AND I THINK AT THAT POINT HE WILL HAVE THAT DISCUSSION WITH CITY COUNCIL.

I UNDERSTAND.

AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, UH, ARA THE AMERICAN RECOVERY ACT, WE ARE WATCHING THAT.

UH, ONE THING THAT WE'RE FINDING OUT IS IF YOU, IF WE'LL BE PATIENT, UH, ONE, THE MONEY'S NOT AVAILABLE IN FULL YET, AND WE HAVE 3 20, 26, BUT THEY'RE ALSO EXPANDING THE USE OF THOSE FUNDS AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO USE OF THE FUNDS.

THEY JUST ANNOUNCED SOME MORE OPPORTUNITIES WE'RE TAKING A LOOK AT, AND I FEEL LIKE THEY'LL PROBABLY CONTINUE TO WIDEN THE USE OF THEM AS WE MOVE FORWARD IN WHAT WE CAN APPLY THEM TO.

SO WE'LL CONTINUE TO WATCH THAT AND KEEP YOU ADVISED, OKAY.

THE LAST ONE IS ON STRIPING.

YOU HAD 150 MILLION, EXCUSE ME, 150,000 FOR A STRIPING.

IS THAT, UH, THE EXISTING, UH, I CLAIM STRIPING THAT, THAT WE, UH, CURRENTLY, UH, CE OR I THINK TO CLARIFY THAT AS TWO COMPONENTS TO IT, IF YOU WERE TO SEE THE 150,000, THIS FOR JUST THE, UH, STREET LANE RE STRIPING IN THE AREAS WHERE IT'S FADED, THE FIND THAT THOUSAND IS A ONE TIME FOR BIKE LANES.

PROBABLY PEOPLE WANT TO DO THAT.

WE MAY NOT BE BACK AGAIN FOR ANOTHER 10 YEARS OR SO NOW, IS THAT JUST FOR THE EXISTING BIKE LANES? ARE WE LOOKING AT NEW BIKE LANES? I THINK IT'S PRETTY MUCH EXISTING BIKE LANES.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

SO THE 150,000 FOR THE RE STRIPING OF LANES, IS THAT THROUGH NEIGHBORHOODS OR IS THAT THROUGH MEASURE THROWAWAY? UH, IT'S PRIMARILY THROUGH NEIGHBORHOODS, UH, FOR EXAMPLE, UH, IN RECENT PAST WE HAD A REQUEST FROM NEW POINT.

WE DID THE NEW POINT OF STAGE, SO IT'S PRETTY MUCH THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND IT COULD, IT COULD SPILL OVER TO COLLECTORS AS WELL, BUT PRIMARILY NEIGHBORHOODS.

SO THERE'S 1.5 MILLION FOR THE GENERATOR.

SO IF WE WERE TO HAVE ONE ANOTHER WINDOW FREEZE, WHICH WE DON'T, WE SHOULD HOPE NOT IN FEBRUARY, WILL WE HAVE GENERATED CAPACITY, MAYBE NOT BY FEBRUARY MAYOR, UH, BUT, UH, HOPEFULLY ONCE IT'S FUNDED WITHIN THE NEXT, UH, SIX TO NINE MONTHS, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET THAT PROJECT GOING.

AND, UH, UH, THE ROUGH TIMEFRAME IS SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR TO GET THE ONCE FUNDING CORRECT ME IF I'M, IF I'M WRONG DURING THAT VENDOR FREEZE DIDN'T, WE HAVE FORTMAN COUNTY THAT WAS TELLING US THAT THERE THERE'S GENERATORS THAT WE CAN GET THROUGH THEM, OR THAT THEY HAD, THAT YOU CAN PLUG WHERE WE NEEDED TO SOMETHING WITH OUR BASE, NO WEEK TO MAKE SURE WE'D HAVE TO COME BACK.

AND THAT'S PART OF THE STUDY IT'D BE TAKING PLACE IS TO RETROFIT THE BUILDINGS, TO BE ABLE TO TAKE THAT, UH, AND REWIRING A LOT OF THE BUILDING TO BE ABLE TO CONNECT IT TO A GENERATOR, PORTABLE GENERATOR OR SOME OTHER TYPE OF GENERATION.

SO THERE'LL BE A STUDY UP FRONT, UH, IMPROVEMENTS TO THE BUILDING BASED ON THE STUDY, AND THEN THE GENERATORS CONNECTING.

SO IS THAT 1.5 FOR A STUDY? UH, WE HAVE 1,089,000 BUDGETED, ROUGHLY 89 MILLION THOUSAND IS FOR THE STUDY OR THE ASSESSMENT.

THE MILLION DOLLARS IS FOR THE ACTUAL GENERATOR PURCHASE, AS WELL AS THE ELECTRICAL UPGRADES.

AND ONE OTHER THING WE'RE FINDING AND WE'RE RESEARCHING IS THAT WITH ARA OR POTENTIALLY EVEN CARES AS, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THIS MIGHT BE A POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCE FOR THAT AS WELL.

SO CONTINUING TO LOOK AT THOSE OPTIONS, THAT WE MAY BE ABLE TO EXTEND OUR DOLLARS FURTHER BY USING THERE'S POTENTIALLY ANY OTHER QUESTIONS WE HAVE ANY GENERATORS THAT ACTUALLY SUPPORT OUR CITY HALL OR ANY OF OUR MAIN BUILDINGS.

YES MA'AM.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE TWO GENERATORS, UH, ONE FOR THE CITY HALL COMPLEX, ONE FOR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, BUT AGAIN, THEY DON'T FULLY SUPPORT ALL THE ELECTRICAL OUTLETS AND ALL THE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT IN THESE BUILDINGS.

IT'S PRIMARILY SOME BASIC LIGHTING AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.

[00:40:01]

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THE CLOUDIFY IS A FULL FLEDGED GENERATOR THAT CAN SUPPORT ALL THESE THREE BUILDINGS.

AND WE CAN TAKE THOSE TWO EXISTING, SMALL GENERATORS AND REPURPOSE IT FOR SOME OTHER BUILDINGS, KEY FACILITIES WITHIN THE CITY.

DON'T WE HAVE, WE HAVE A GENERATORS, UH, REQUIREMENTS FOR STATIONS THREE AND FOUR.

YES.

OUR STATIONS, ALL THE FIRE STATIONS DO HAVE GENERATORS.

SO WE COULD REPURPOSE IF THIS GOES, I THINK WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS IF WE TAKE THIS, WE CAN USE IT ON THE REC CENTER AND MAYBE HAVE AS A BACKUP TO SERVE ANY OTHER FACILITY THAT MAY BE NEAT.

PUT IT AS A, MAYBE AS A MOBILE UNIT.

AND AGAIN, WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE DETAILS WE WANT TO DO THE ASSESSMENT FIRST, IDENTIFY WHAT'S NEEDED.

WHAT WE KNOW, WHAT THE END GOAL IS, IS TO HAVE GENERATOR TO SUPPORT ALL THESE THREE FACILITIES.

THAT'S, THAT'S THE PURPOSE.

AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OPERATIONALLY, WE TIE INTO OUR EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN.

SO THE FACILITIES WE HAVE AS BACKUPS ARE, UH, HAVE THE AVAILABILITY TO GET THE ENERGY THEY NEED.

AND WHEN WILL THE COMPLETION OF OUR STATION THREE AND FOUR WILL BE DONE RENOVATION.

WE GENERALLY, UH, AS SOON AS THE FISCAL YEAR KICKS IN, WE GET THE PRODUCT STARTED.

UH, I PRESUME THESE ARE MINOR IMPROVEMENTS.

I WOULD ESTIMATE IN SIX TO NINE MONTHS, WE SHOULD WRAP IT UP.

I WOULD JUST ASK WHEN SOME OF THESE ARE COMPLETED, CAN YOU BRING THIS BACK TO COUNCIL SO THAT WE KNOW THAT IT STARTED AND IS COMPLETED? WE CAN START.

THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF IN HERE, ME APPRISED AND QUARTERLY COME BACK AND LET YOU KNOW WHERE WE STAND.

YEAH.

I THINK MR. HOOVER HAS THE RIGHT IDEA OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IN MISSOURI CITY AND TO GET THIS GOING FORWARD, IT'S A SHAME THAT OTHER PEOPLE ON COUNCIL DON'T, BUT MAYBE THAT'S ANOTHER MATTER, BUT WE'RE IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE CITY.

WE HAVE A LOT OF NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND HE HAS GONE OVERBOARD TO HELP ME ANALYZE INVOICES FROM OUR WATER DISTRICT, WHICH I THINK ARE INAPPROPRIATE.
