[1. CALL TO ORDER ]
IS MONDAY, JUNE 5TH.WE'LL NOW CALL THE CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING TO ORDER AT 5:32 PM ITEM NUMBER TWO IS ROLL CALL.
WE DO HAVE A QUORUM OF COUNCIL.
[3. PUBLIC COMMENTS]
ARE PUBLIC COMMENTS.MADAM CITY SECRETARY, DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? NO.
[(a) Consideration and Possible Action - First Reading - An ordinance adopt...]
COUNCIL MEMBER.YES, MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO, UH, UH, SUPE, UH, MAKE A MOTION TO SUSPEND THE RULES SO THAT WE COULD TAKE UP AND CONSIDER, UH, AN ORDINANCE DURING THIS SPECIAL COUNSEL MEETING RELATIVE TO, UH, ITEM FOUR A ON THE AGENDA.
AND WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS HAVE, UH, OUR CITY ATTORNEY EXPLAIN, UM, THAT ITEM AND THE NEED FOR THIS.
SO, UH, YOUR RULES, UH, SECTION TWO 80 REQUIRES THAT, UH, THE PASSAGE OF ALL ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS SHALL BE BY READING OF SUCH ORDINANCE OR RESOLUTION AT REGULAR MEETINGS.
SO THIS ITEM THAT'S BEFORE YOU IS TO SUSPEND THAT SPECIFIC RULE SO THAT YOU CAN TAKE UP THIS ORDINANCE AT A SPECIAL MEETING OR THE FIRST READING OF THE ORDINANCE AT A MEETING.
SO WAS THAT A MOTION RIGHT BY COUNCIL? YES, SIR.
THAT WE HAVE A MOTION BY, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER BONY AND A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER.
MEMBER, UM, MONICA RILEY? YES.
THE MOTION CARRIES SEVEN TO ZERO.
ITEM FOUR A, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MISSOURI CITY, TEXAS.
AMENDING ORDINANCE NUMBER OH 2316, PROVIDING THE ADOPTED PAY PLAN FOR FULL-TIME NON-EXEMPT PERSONNEL AND EXEMPT PERSONNEL, EXCLUDING CIVIL SERVICE, FIRE PERSONNEL, AND POLICE PERSONNEL, AND EMPLOY APPOINTED EMPLOYEES PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE, PROVIDING FOR REPEAL AND PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY.
WE HAVE A PRESENTATION BY ELENA PORTERS, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER.
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.
UH, AS YOU KNOW, YOU APPROVED A REVISED PAY PLAN FOR NON-CIVIL SERVICE ON MAY 5TH, AND THAT WAS EFFECTIVE MAY 7TH.
DURING IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SALARY STUDY, UH, AND PAY FOR EMPLOYEES, THERE WERE SOME, UM, ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE FOUND WERE NEEDED TO THE PAY PLAN.
THE FIRST ONE BEING THE POLICE CADET.
THE POLICE CADET WAS NOT ON THE NON-CIVIL SERVICE PAY PLAN, AND BECAUSE IT'S A NON-CIVIL SERVICE POSITION, WE NEEDED TO ADD THAT TO IT.
ALSO, THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS OFFICER, THE BEGINNING SALARY WAS NOT CORRECT.
THERE WAS SOME ACTION THAT WAS TAKEN, UM, IN A PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR TO INCREASE SALARIES, BUT THAT WAS NOT A PART OF THE, UM, PAY PLAN, BUT WHAT WAS GIVEN TO THE INDIVIDUAL, UM, EMPLOYEES.
AND SO WE HAD TO MAKE SURE THAT THE MINIMUM SALARY ON THE DBM WAS CORRECT.
WE ALSO HAD A POSITION THAT WAS MOVED INTO A PREMIUM POSITION BASED ON THE CERTIFICATIONS, UM, THAT WERE NEEDED.
AND, UM, THE DIFFICULTY IN HIRING FOR THAT POSITION.
AND ALTHOUGH THE POSITION WAS IN THE CORRECT PAY BAN, UM, THE, THE SALARY THAT WAS PRESENTED WAS NOT THE CORRECT SALARY.
AND THEN THERE WERE SOME DUPLICATIONS OF SOME OF, UH, THE POSITIONS.
I WILL STATE THAT AGAIN, WE ARE HAPPY TO HAVE OUR NEW HR DIRECTOR ON BOARD AND THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS, WE DID HAVE ADDITIONAL EYES THAT WERE ABLE TO TAKE AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT IT, AND THAT'S WHEN WE FOUND THESE, UM, ISSUES.
AND SO WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO CORRECT, BASICALLY JUST CORRECT THESE THINGS IN THE PAY PLAN.
DOES THIS CHANGE ANYTHING THAT WE'VE VOTED ON IN THE PAST BEFORE? OR IS THIS SOMETHING THAT YOU JUST RETROFITTING INTO WHAT WAS FOUND CORRECT.
UM, WHAT COUNCIL APPROVED BEFORE STILL REMAINS THE SAME.
THE ONLY THING THAT'S CHANGING IS BECAUSE YOU TOOK THOSE STEPS.
IT DID NOT CHANGE THE MARKET DATA.
SO THE MARKET DATA IS WHAT THE, IT'S STILL WITHIN THE PAY RANGE, BUT WHAT WE NEED TO REFLECT IS THE ACTUAL MARKET DATA BASED ON THE STUDY.
DO WE HAVE, UH, SEE, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER BONY AND SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER BROWN MARSHALL.
AND I DON'T SEE ANYBODY ELSE IN THE QUEUE, SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND YOU'RE GONNA DO A ROLL CALL, PLEASE? YES, SIR.
OKAY, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND VOTE.
THE MOTION CARRIES SEVEN TO ZERO.
[(b) Presentation and Discussion - Lake Olympia Traffic Signals\Roundabouts...]
B IS PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION.UH, LAKE COLUMBIA TRAFFIC SIGNALS AND ROUNDABOUTS, PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING REPORT.
UH, WE HAVE A PRESENTATION BY MARCUS SNOW, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER.
[00:05:01]
EVENING, MARY COUNCIL EVENING.UM, IT'S MY PLEASURE TO PRESENT TO YOU JUST A VERY BRIEF UPDATE ON, UH, THE LAKE OLYMPIA TRAFFIC, UH, SIGNALS AND ROUNDABOUTS, AND THE RESULTS OF OUR PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING REPORT AND PRESENTATION TO THE HOA.
SO JUST A BIT OF BRIEF PROJECT HISTORY.
SO A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, UH, WARRANT STUDY WAS CONDUCTED BACK IN, UH, FY 21, AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT TRAFFIC CONTROL WAS WARRANTED FOR THESE THREE INTERSECTIONS HERE ON LAKE OLYMPIA.
UH, CAN WE, HOLD ON, CAN WE GET THE MICROPHONE PLEASE? IS THIS HARD TO HEAR YOU? IS THIS BETTER? YES, SIR.
UM, TRAFFIC SIGNAL WARRANT STUDY WAS CONDUCTED BACK IN FY 21, AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT TRAFFIC CONTROL FOR THESE THREE INTERSECTIONS WAS WARRANTED, UH, DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS.
SO, UH, 2 MILLION WAS FUNDED THROUGH OUR BOND PROGRAM TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.
AFTER THE INITIAL ENGINEERING STUDY AND THEN DISCUSSIONS WITH THE HOA, WE REVIEWED OPTIONS FOR BOTH A ROUNDABOUT AND TRAFFIC SIGNALS.
UH, THOSE OPTIONS WERE EVALUATED, UH, THROUGH A SERIES OF FEASIBILITY CRITERIA.
ALL RIGHT, BRIEFLY GOING OVER THE PROJECT LIMITS.
WE'RE LOOKING AT CROW VALLEY OUT ON THE WEST SIDE, UH, SWAN ISLAND BOULEVARD, UH, CENTRALLY AND MISTY HOLLOW ON THE EAST.
SO THERE ARE TWO GENERAL OPTIONS THAT WERE EVALUATED.
ONE B JUST LOOKS TO ADD IN A COUPLE OF TURN LANES AT MISTY HOLLOW.
UH, RIGHT TURN ON SOUTHBOUND AND THEN RIGHT TURN ON WESTBOUND FOR LAKE OLYMPIA.
AND THEN ALTERNATIVE TWO, WE EVALUATED ROUNDABOUTS.
WE EVALUATED BOTH ONE LANE AND TWO LANE ROUNDABOUTS.
SO GOING THROUGH THE ANALYSIS BRIEFLY, UH, OUR CONSULTANT MODELED BOTH FIVE AND 10 YEAR GROWTH TRAFFIC DEMAND.
UH, SOME OF THE SAFETY EVALUATIONS WE CONSIDERED WERE MOST IMPORTANTLY POTENTIAL CRASH POINTS.
UM, THERE'S DIFFERENT POTENTIAL CRASH POINTS BETWEEN ROUNDABOUTS AND, UH, SIGNALIZE INTERSECTIONS.
WE WEIGHED THAT AGAINST SOME OF THE CONSTRAINTS IN THE AREA, SUCH AS RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION, UTILITY CONFLICTS, UH, COSTS BETWEEN THE VARIOUS OPTIONS, AND THEN POTENTIAL PEDESTRIAN AND BIKE TRAFFIC MOVING FORWARD, LOOKING AT THE COSTS AND THEN ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION TIME.
SO ALTERNATIVE ZERO, THE NO BUILD OPTION.
THIS ISN'T REALLY AN OPTION, IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE WERE CONSIDERING.
WE JUST USE THAT AS A BASELINE.
SO WITH THAT, AS WE LOOK AT OUR OTHER OPTIONS, WE CAN SEE TO WHAT BENEFIT DO WE BRING TO THE CITY BY PURSUING THESE.
SO OPTIONS ONE, THESE ARE SIGNALIZED OPTIONS.
IN GENERAL, WE SEE SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT.
UH, IF WE LOOK AT THE AVERAGE 10 YEAR DELAY AT ALTERNATIVE ZERO OR NO BUILD OPTION, WE'RE GONNA BE LOOKING AT ABOUT THREE MINUTES.
ON AVERAGE DELAY PER INTERSECTION, THAT'S A FAIRLY LONG TIME TO WAITING TO GET ACROSS THIS AREA.
SIGNALS WILL BRING THAT DOWN TO 41 SECONDS ON AVERAGE, UH, FOR JUST SIGNALS AT ALL THE LOCATIONS.
WE DID NOTICE THOUGH THAT MISTY HOLLOW HAD, UH, NOTABLY STILL SOME PRETTY LONG WAIT TIMES.
SO WE EVALUATED ADDING IN THOSE RIGHT TURN LANES TO MISTY HOLLOW, AND THAT BROUGHT DOWN THE AVERAGE WAIT TIME FROM 41 SECONDS TO 23 SECONDS PER INTERSECTION.
LOOKING AT OUR OTHER OPTIONS, OUR ONE IN TWO LANE ROUNDABOUTS, WE CAN SEE THAT THE ONE LANE ROUNDABOUT OPTION, UH, GOING OUT 10 YEARS, WE'RE GONNA BE WAITING 110 SECONDS ON AVERAGE PER INTERSECTION, IT'S ALMOST TWO MINUTES PER INTERSECTION.
UH, OPTION TWO B ARE TWO-LANE ROUNDABOUTS.
WE'RE GONNA NOTE SOME VAST IMPROVEMENT OVER THAT THREE MINUTE, UH, WAIT TIME.
WE'RE GONNA BE LOOKING AT 13 SECONDS, AVERAGE WAIT TIME PER INTERSECTION.
HOWEVER, WHERE A LOT OF IT COMES DOWN TO IS COST.
SO THOSE TWO-LANE ROUNDABOUTS, THAT'S GONNA COST US AROUND 1.5 MILLION PER ROUNDABOUT FOR A TOTAL COST OF 4.5 MILLION.
UH, THIS IS IN COMPARISON TO THE $1.7 MILLION FOR THE SIGNALIZE INTERSECTIONS.
AND THEN ADDING IN THOSE TWO RIGHT TURN LANES AT MISTY HOLLOW.
ADDITIONALLY, THAT TWO-LANE ROUNDABOUT ROUNDABOUTS JUST TAKE UP A LOT MORE SPACE, HAS A LARGER FOOTPRINT.
WE'RE GONNA BE LOOKING, IF WE WERE TO GO WITH THAT OPTION, WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT, UH, PROPERTY ACQUISITION.
UM, DEFINITELY SOME UTILITY CONFLICTS AND NOT JUST, I MEAN, UN IT'S NOT JUST EXPANSION OF RIGHT OF WAY.
THIS WOULD START MOVING INTO PEOPLE'S YARDS WITH THOSE TWO-LANE ROUNDABOUTS,
[00:10:01]
THAT BECOMES A, BECOMES A SIGNIFICANT OBSTACLE FOR CONSTRUCTION.SO IN EVALUATION, WE LOOKED AT ALL OF THESE AND THEN WE TOOK, UH, OUR OPTIONS OUT TO THE LAKE OLYMPIA HOA.
IN GENERAL, THE HOA WAS VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THE INFORMATION WE PROVIDED THEM.
UH, THEY PROVIDED US SOME VERY GOOD FEEDBACK.
SOME OF THE THINGS THEY WERE INTERESTED IN, UH, BEYOND THE DISCUSSION OF WHETHER TO GO WITH A SIGNALIZE INTERSECTION OR A ROUNDABOUT.
THEY'RE VERY INTERESTED IN TRUCK TRAFFIC AND SOME OF THE VEHICULAR SPEEDS MOVING THROUGH THE AREA.
AND AS THIS PROJECT MOVES FORWARD AFTER THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVE, WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR THOSE, UH, ACTIVITIES HAPPENING ALONG THIS CORRIDOR.
AND WE LOOK TO TAKE ACTION GOING FORWARD ON THAT.
BUT WE PRESENTED THESE OPTIONS TO THE HOA AND REVIEWED THEM INTERNALLY.
AND ROUNDABOUTS WERE JUST NOT FEASIBLE.
WE DETERMINED THROUGH SOME OF THIS ANALYSIS, MAINLY BECAUSE OF RIGHT AWAY ACQUISITION, BUT ALSO DELAYING IMPLEMENTATION.
I DIDN'T POINT THAT OUT ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE.
IF WE GO BACK, UM, OUR ROUNDABOUT OPTIONS, THOSE GONNA BE AROUND TWO YEARS IN CONSTRUCTION TIME.
AGAIN, I NOTE THAT'S CONSTRUCTION TIME.
THAT'S NOT DESIGN, THAT'S NOT BIDDING, THAT'S CONSTRUCTION.
SO WE STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH DESIGN AND BIDDING.
THAT'S GONNA BE STANDARD FOR ALL THESE OPTIONS, TWO YEARS FOR CONSTRUCTION, THAT THAT'S AS OPPOSED TO SIX MONTHS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF TRAFFIC SIGNALS.
TRAFFIC SIGNALS GET ON THE GROUND AND START HELPING OUR CITIZENS FAR FASTER THAN ROUNDABOUTS WOULD IN THIS INSTANCE.
SO DUE TO THE RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION NEEDS DUE TO THIS DELAY IN IMPLEMENTATION, AND MOST CERTAINLY DUE TO THE CONSTRUCTION COST, AGAIN, 1.7 MILLION AS OPPOSED TO 4.5 MILLION, UH, STAFF WILL PROCEED WITH ALTERNATIVE B SIGNALS AND RIGHT TURN LANES AS THE PREFERRED OPTION.
SO IN GENERAL, OUR RESIDENTS DID CONCUR WITH THE APPRO, THE PROPOSED APPROACH, UH, WITH SOME OF THOSE OTHER, UH, LARGE VEHICLE AND SPEEDING TRAFFIC, UH, COMMENTS, WHICH WE'VE NOTED AND WILL LOOK TO ADDRESS IN THE FUTURE.
WE FEEL THAT OPTION B REALLY PROVIDES THE BEST, UH, BALANCE OF CAPACITY, BRINGING DOWN THOSE WAIT TIMES WITH SAFETY AND COST.
SO, LIKE I SAID, LOOKING FOR A BRIEF, UH, PRESENTATION.
I AM OPEN, UH, AND JOSH IS OPEN ALSO TO, UH, QUESTIONS AND FEEDBACK.
WE'LL GO TO COUNCIL MEMBER OF BONY.
THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.
UM, QUESTION I HAD IS, UH, YOU MENTIONED THAT RESIDENTS, UH, IN GENERAL CONCUR WITH THIS APPROACH.
WHAT RESIDENTS WERE REACHED OUT TO? EXACTLY.
WHERE'D YOU GET THAT FEEDBACK? UH, WE GOT THAT FROM OUR HOA MEETING.
FROM WHICH HOA? UH, THE LAKE MPA.
SO WE WENT THERE, WE MET WITH THEM.
WE HAD A, A MUCH LONGER VERSION OF THIS, UH, PRESENTATION, LOT MORE TECHNICAL DEALING WITH SOME OF THE SPECIFIC CONCERNS AND DECISION POINTS WE MADE ALONG THE WAY.
AND, UH, WE RECEIVED A LOT OF POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM THEM BOTH IN THE CONSIDERATION OF, UH, WHETHER, WHICH OF THE TWO GENERAL OPTIONS TO GO WITH, UH, THE MAJORITY OF THE DISCUSSION DID REVOLVE AROUND, UM, TRUCK TRAFFIC AND SPEEDING, WHICH WE ARE GONNA LOOK TO ADDRESS IN THE FUTURE.
AFTER WE GET SOME MORE DATA FROM THIS.
WE DO HAVE SOME SPEED DATA, UH, FROM BEFORE ANY CHANGES WE MAKE.
UH, AFTER WE INSTALL THE, UH, SIGNALIZE INTERSECTIONS, WE'RE GONNA GATHER SOME MORE SPEED DATA, SEE HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
CUZ BY CHANGING THAT INTERSECTION, WE CHANGE THINGS.
SO CHANGE THOSE THREE INTERSECTIONS, GET SOME MORE DATA, LOOK AT THAT DELTA, AND THEN, UH, GENERATE ALTERNATIVES FROM THERE.
YEAH, I I, I DO AGREE THOUGH THAT, YOU KNOW, WITH THE TIMEFRAME OF SIX MONTHS TO TWO YEARS AND THE COST FACTOR, UH, IT'S PROBABLY THE BEST APPROACH.
RECOGNIZING COUNCIL MEMBER, UH, MAYOR PRO, TIM EMORY? UH, YES.
UH, I, I GUESS I WOULD, UH, KIND OF ECHO CAN HEAR YOU
NOW WHAT I WAS SAYING IS THAT, UH, I GOT THE SAME TYPE OF FEEDBACK THAT I THINK, UH, WE RECEIVED WHEN WE WENT TO THE HOA MEETINGS, UH, FROM INDIVIDUALS THAT, UH, UH, I HAVE, UH, SOME, UM, UH, SOME DEALINGS WITH IN THE, UH, IN, IN LAKE OLYMPIAN HOA.
THEY ALL WERE, UH, I THINK LEANING HEAVILY TOWARDS THE, UH, UH, THE, UH, ITEM WHAT ONE B, WHICH IS THE, UH, STOP LIGHT WITH A, UH, RIGHT TURN LANE OPTION.
SO I THINK, UH, YOU KNOW, AND IF YOU GO BACK AND I, I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT THE, UH, THE ANALYSIS THAT YOU DID,
[00:15:01]
I, CAN YOU GO BACK AS, YEAH, THAT ONE THERE, UH, THE, UH, AMOUNT OF, UH, OF DELAY THAT'S BEING SHOWN 23 SECONDS VERSUS 110 SECONDS VERSUS 13 SECONDS.I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT DROPPED DOWN SO, SO DRASTICALLY, BUT IT DID.
BUT, UH, THAT JUST TELLS ME THAT, UH, NOT ONLY FROM A COST STANDPOINT, BUT FROM A DELAY AT THE LIGHTS, UH, SO THAT WE CAN KEEP TRAFFIC MOVING, UH, I THINK, UH, APPROPRIATELY.
AND, UH, THE, UH, THIS WAS, UH, THE APPROACH TO TAKE, I LIKE THE IDEA OF, UH, 1,000,007 VERSUS, I THINK WE'VE GOT 2 MILLION ON THE, UH, ON THE BONDS.
SO I'M NOT SURE IF THERE WAS ANY, UH, CONSIDERATION GIVEN TO THE TYPE OF, UH, UH, STREETLIGHTS, EXCUSE ME, STOP SIGNS, UH, WHETHER OR NOT THEY WERE DECORATIVE.
UH, SO, YOU KNOW, I THINK IF WE'VE GOT SOME ADDITIONAL DOLLARS, UH, I THINK THAT WOULD GO, I THINK, A, A LONG WAY WITH, UH, WITH, UH, THE, UH, LAKE OLYMPIA H O A ALSO, BECAUSE IT, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY DRESSES UP THE, UH, THOSE INTERSECTIONS AND IF WE'VE GOT THE, THE MONEY, UH, YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE SHOULD PURSUE THAT.
SO GO AHEAD, YOU SAYING THANK YOU MAYOR PRO TEM.
UH, WE ARE THIS, UH, COST OPTION IS WITH THE DECORATIVE, UH, POLL AND MASS ARMS. OKAY, GREAT.
UH, SO WITH THAT, I'M NOT SURE IF WE'RE LOOKING FOR, UH, DIRECTION FROM THE, UH, FROM CONSOLE, UH, OR EXACTLY WHERE ARE WE IN, IN THE PROCESS.
THIS WAS REALLY TO PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF WHERE WE WERE AND THE DIRECTION WE'RE MOVING IN.
UN UNLESS THERE WAS A POLICY DECISION TO GO IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION, WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU WERE AWARE OF WHERE WE WERE HEADING.
NO, I'M, I'M IN AGREEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH, UH, THE, UH, UM, THE, UH, APPROACH THAT WE'RE TAKING AND THE, UH, ALTERNATIVE THAT WOULD BE, UH, WOULD BE LOOKING AT USING.
SO, UH, AND I THINK I SAY THAT'LL GO WELL WITH, UH, A NUMBER OF THE, UM, UH, THE, UH, RESIDENTS IN, UH, LAKE OLYMPIA.
I'M NOT SEEING ANYONE ELSE, SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I, I NOTICED THAT OUT OF ALL THE OPTIONS, UH, MISTY HOLLOW DRIVE ON ONE B, UH, GOES UP TO 700,000, WHEREAS EVERYTHING ELSE KIND OF CHANGES.
WHY IS THERE, I MEAN, YOU MAY HAVE POINTED THAT OUT, BUT I, MAYBE I MISSED, I DIDN'T SPECIFICALLY POINT THAT OUT AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH, COUNCIL MEMBER FOR NOTING.
UH, SO IF WE LOOK AT THE, UH, TOTAL ESTIMATED COST, MISSY HOLLOW GOES FROM, UH, HALF A MILLION UP TO 700,000.
THAT ADDITIONAL, UH, $200,000 IS FOR THE RIGHT TURN LANES THAT WE WOULD BE ADDING.
UM, HERE WE ARE, UH, THE SOUTHBOUND RIGHT TURN LANE ON MISTY HOLLOW, AND THEN THE, UH, WHAT WESTBOUND RIGHT TURN LANE ON LAKE OLYMPIA.
SO ADDING THOSE TWO TURN LANES, UH, REDUCES THE WAIT TIME AT, UH, OUR AVERAGE DELAY TIME AT MISTY HOLLOW FROM 80 SECONDS DOWN TO 25 SECONDS SPECIFICALLY.
SO A NOTABLE INCREASE BY ADDING THOSE TWO RIGHT TURN LANES, UM, FOR, UH, FOR AN ADDITIONAL COST THAT'S WITHIN THE EXISTING BUDGET.
WE'RE GONNA GO ON TO, I HAD ONE MORE QUESTION I WANTED TO ASK.
IT DID, UH, ON THE MISSY HOLLOW, UH, THE WAY I RE REALIZE OR KIND OF RECO, UH, RECOGNIZE THE, UH, UH, THE, UH, APPROACH TO MISSY HOLLOW FROM LAKE OLYMPIA, UH, THERE'S A HILL THERE.
AND WHAT ARE WE DOING, UH, TO ENSURE THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, WE, UH, WE MAKE THAT A, A SAFE, UH, INTER INTERSECTION SO THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE, I GUESS ENOUGH, UH, DISTANCE TO BE ABLE TO, UH, HANDLE THE, UH, UH, THE PRESENCE OF, OF THAT HILL.
AND IF THERE, IF THERE'S ANY, YOU KNOW, CONSTRUCTION FROM A VISUAL STANDPOINT ING UH, MAYOR AND COUNCIL? GREAT QUESTION.
THE CONTOUR IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT AT MISTY HOLLOW LAKE OLYMPIA AS PART OF THE DESIGN IN THE BIT PACKAGE.
PROBABLY WHAT IT'S GONNA NECESS IS ADDITIONAL SIGNAGE, PUTTING ADDITIONAL SIGNAGE TO MOTORS TO ONE THAT THERE IS AN APPROACHING SIGNAL BECAUSE OF WHAT WE CALL THE SITE DISTANCE ISSUES.
BUT THOSE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE'LL BE ADDRESSING AS PART OF THE DESIGN PROCESS.
THIS IS JUST TO TELL YOU THAT BASED
[00:20:01]
ON OUR FEASIBILITY SIGNALS IS THE BEST OPTION MOVING FORWARD.AND THAT'S THE PATH WE'RE HEADING.
UH, THOSE KIND OF QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS AND CONCERNS WILL BE ADDRESSED AS PART OF THE DESIGN FACING.
WE'LL GO TO ITEM NUMBER FIVE IS A CLOSED EXECUTIVE SESSION.
CITY COUNCIL WILL NOW GO INTO CLOSE EXECUTIVE SESSION REGARDING ITEM POSTED ON THE AGENDA AS AUTHORIZED BY TITLE FIVE, CHAPTER 5 51 POINT, UH, OF THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE.
EXCUSE ME, MAYOR, THERE'S NOT A CLOSED EXECUTIVE SESSION ON THIS SPECIAL MEETING.
UH, WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD AND ADJOURN THIS MEETING AT 5:53 PM TODAY.
