[(a) Consideration and Possible Action - Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Brooks Concrete, Inc. for sidewalk and street repair services in an amount not to exceed $5,493,706.50]

UH, JOY JOHNSON, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS.

YES, MA'AM.

UH, WE HAVE A MAP HERE THAT SHOWS THAT, EXCUSE ME, THAT IDENTIFIES OUR STREET REPAIR LOCATIONS AND IT ALSO GIVES THE ESTIMATES PER COUNCIL DISTRICT OF THE STREET REPAIRS THAT WE WILL BE PERFORMING.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

GOOD EVENING.

I AM JOY JOHNSON, ASSISTANT PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR OVER STREETS DRAINAGE AND TRAFFIC OPERATIONS MAINTENANCE.

TODAY I AM HERE FOR YOUR AUTHORIZATION TO CONSIDER THE AWARD FOR SIDEWALK STREET REPAIR CONTRACT FOR BROOKS CONCRETE INC.

THIS WAS A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH INVOLVING PURCHASING PARKS AND PUBLIC WORKS TO ENSURE TO OUR RESIDENTS THAT WE'RE HOLDING OUR CONTRACTORS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR WORK.

WE REQUIRED A BID BOND, A PERFORMANCE BOND, AND A PAYMENT BOND TO COVER ANY DAMAGES AND OTHER PAYMENTS THAT MAY BE, UH, OBTAINED DURING THIS CONTRACT.

UH, WE WILL MANAGE THIS CONTRACT BY SCHEDULING STREET REPAIR LOCATIONS BASED OFF OF OUR PAVEMENT, UH, CONDITION INDICATOR SCORES AND SIDEWALKS PER COUNCIL DISTRICT.

OUR FUNDING SOURCES FOR THIS CONTRACT WILL COME FROM METRO GENERAL FUND AND CIP FOR PARK SIDEWALK REPAIRS, WHICH GIVES US AN ESTIMATED FUNDING COST OF $5.5 MILLION.

[00:05:02]

UNDER THIS CONTRACT, WE HAVE AN ES A TOTAL ESTIMATED COST OF $5.3 MILLION FOR STREET RE REHABILITATION, WHICH INCLUDES PANEL REPLACEMENT, ASPHALT, UH, OVERLAY AND STREET LIFTING, OR EXCUSE ME, PAVEMENT LIFTING.

I WON'T CALL IT STREET LIFTING.

THIS CONTRACT, I MEAN THIS MAP HERE, SHOWS, UH, LOCATIONS FOR OUR SIDEWALK REPAIRS.

UH, IT IS SHOWING OUR PRIORITIZED LOCATIONS AS WE HAVE UNDER THIS CONTRACT IDENTIFIED BY OUR COUNCIL DISTRICTS WITH A APPROXIMATE TOTAL ESTIMATE OF $950,000.

UH, WE IDENTIFY OUR SIDEWALK LOCATIONS BY TRIP HAZARDS SAFETY PONDING, A DA REQUIREMENTS, AND THE VICINITY THAT THEY ARE TO, UH, SCHOOLS.

AND HERE WE SHOW THE FIVE LOCATIONS FOR OUR PARKS PROJECT, UH, WITH AN ESTIMATE OF $700,000.

THERE ARE FIVE LOCATIONS WHERE THEY WOULD BE DOING SOME SIDEWALK REPAIR REHABILITATION IN BICENTENNIAL PARK, AMERICAN LEGION PARK, RIDGEVIEW COMMUNITY IN EAST HAMPTON PARKS.

SO OUR SIDEWALK AND STREET REPAIR WORK WILL BEGIN JANUARY, 2024.

AND SINCE THIS IS A ONE VENDOR CONTRACT AS UH, PREVIOUS YEARS, WE HAD MULTIPLE VENDORS.

BUT SINCE THIS IS A ONE VENDOR YEAR CONTRACT, BROOKS HAS, UH, COMMITTED THAT WE'D HAVE UP TO SIX CREWS THAT'LL BE PERFORMING STREET REPAIRS AND SIDEWALK REPAIRS FOR BOTH PUBLIC WORKS AND PARKS SO THAT WE CAN SHOW A CITYWIDE EFFORT OF, UH, DOING REPAIRS IN THIS CONTRACT.

THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

AND DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

UH, WE DO HAVE SOME, UH, SOME COUNCIL MEMBERS SIGNED UP.

SO LET ME START WITH, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER KLAUSER.

HI, JOY.

IS THIS YOUR FIRST TIME PRESENTING BEFORE COUNCIL? YES.

YOU DID A WONDERFUL JOB.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

UM, YOU GOT SOME FRIENDS .

SO, UM, I, I SEE THAT THIS IS A ONE YEAR CONTRACT YES.

WITH BROOKS.

UH, DO THEY EXPECT THAT THE WORK WILL BE DONE IN ONE YEAR? YES.

WE'VE, UH, ESTIMATED OUR LOCATIONS FOR ONE YEAR.

FOR ONE YEAR.

SO THAT'S HOW MUCH WE'VE ESTIMATED TO GET DONE.

AND THEN SECOND, MY QUESTION IS AROUND, UH, THE 2021 BOND.

ARE THESE REPAIRS, UM, WILL THESE FULFILL THE ENTIRE SCOPE OF WORK DEFINED IN THE BOND, UM, AS IT RELATES TO THE SIDEWALKS AND STREETS? SO THE BOND IS FOR THE CAPITAL PROJECTS AND ONLY BOND MONEY FOR THIS CONTRACT WILL BE UNDER PARTS FOR THEIR SIDEWALK.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY QUESTIONS.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.

UM, SO JOY, I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS AS WELL.

SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE FIVE POINT, ALMOST 5.5, UM, CAN YOU, I KNOW THAT WE HAVE, THE COUNCIL HAD DEDICATED SOME MONEY LAST YEAR TO GETTING SIDEWALKS FIXED AND, AND I KNOW THAT WE HIT ON SOME CERTAIN STREETS AND THEN WE STOPPED AT CERTAIN SECTIONS.

SO CAN YOU WALK ME THROUGH WHERE DO WE, YOU START WITH THIS, IF THIS IS APPROVED? SO WE WILL START EXACTLY WHERE WE FINISHED.

UM, THAT IS, THAT IS OUR PRIORITY, UM, TO COMPLETE OUT THAT THE LOCATION, UH, IT WAS, I BELIEVE IT WAS HUNTER SCREEN SUBDIVISION, BUT, SO YEAH, WE, THE, WHERE WE STOPPED IS EXACTLY WHERE WE'RE GONNA START.

'CAUSE WE KNOW WE HAVE SOME, UM, ONGOING CON UH, SIDEWALK AND REPAIRS THAT WE NEED TO DO IN THAT AREA.

SO I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION.

THE MAP, CAN WE GO TO THAT MAP? OH, SURE.

FOR THE STREETS OR SIDEWALKS? STREET? UH, RIGHT HERE.

THE SIDEWALKS.

SO AS WE'RE NOW MOVING FORWARD, WE HAVE THE NEW CONTRACT.

YOU'RE GOING, YOU'RE, YOU'RE STARTING FROM THE PLACE WHERE YOU STOP THAT MM-HMM.

AS NEW SIDEWALKS OR, OR RESIDENTS ARE POINTING OUT NEW AREAS.

SO HOW DOES THAT EQUATES INTO THIS MAP? LIKE HOW DOES IT, HOW, HOW DO YOU GET THAT IN THERE TO, SO THIS, THE LOCATIONS THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED IS UNDER THE CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE.

WE HAVE AN ONGOING LIST THAT WE DO TAKE.

AND DEPENDING ON THE SEVERITY OF THE LOCATION, IT MAY

[00:10:01]

BE BUMPED UP.

BUT WE'LL JUST KEEP ADDING OUR ONGOING LIST SO THAT NEXT YEAR WE CAN ADDRESS THOSE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.

ALRIGHT.

I, I WILL E BACK AND RECOGNIZING MAYOR PROTON MEMORY.

TWO QUESTIONS.

ONE, UH, WHEN WE LOOK AT THE STREET REPAIR OR THE SIDEWALK REPAIRS, WELL BOTH REALLY MM-HMM.

, UH, WITH OUR ANNEXATION OF, UH, SANTA MUD TWO, HAVE WE INCLUDED DOLLARS IN THERE AND LOCATIONS THAT WE'RE AWARE OF THAT REQUIRE, UH, FUNDS TO BE APPLIED AND WORK TO BE, UH, COMPLETED? OKAY.

WE ARE DOING AN ASSESSMENT NOW.

WE HAVE A CONTRACTOR THAT'S ASSESSING THE STREETS AS WELL AS THE SIDEWALKS IN THAT AREA.

AND ONCE WE GET THAT DATA BACK, THEN THOSE WILL BE PLUGGED IN BASED ON THE SEVERITY OR THE, THE DETERIORATION OF THOSE STREETS AND SIDEWALKS.

WILL, WILL THAT INCREASE THE AMOUNT THAT WE'RE ALLOCATING FOR THESE TWO SIDEWALKS AND, UH, AND STREET REPAIRS? IT COULD POSSIBLY.

AND THAT'S, IF YOU RECALL, WE SET UP THE, UM, FUNDS TO BE ABLE TO DRAW FROM IF WE NEEDED ADDITIONAL SIDEWALKS OR, UM, SIDEWALKS OR STREET REPAIRS, UM, DUE TO, UH, DETERIORATION OR EMERGENCY SITUATION.

THAT'S PRIMARILY WHY WE SET THAT SPECIFIC FUND UP, JUST TO ADDRESS THAT.

SECOND QUESTION IS, I SEE NOW THAT, UH, BROOKS IS GOING TO COMMIT SIX CREWS, ARE WE, ARE THEY CONFIDENT THAT THEY CAN MEET OUR SCHEDULE WITH THE NUMBER OF CREWS THAT THEY'RE BRINGING IN? WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A REALLY WIDE SWATH OF AREAS THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE, UH, UH, INVOLVED IN THE, UH, THE ACTIVITY.

SO, YOU KNOW, ARE WE CONFIDENT THAT, UH, THEY CAN MEET, UH, OUR, UH, TIMING REQUIREMENTS AND PRIORITIES? YES.

WE, WE'VE, WE'VE MET WITH THEM AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY HERE AS WELL, IF YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK WITH THEM AS WELL.

BUT, UM, THEY HAVE COMMITTED TO US 'CAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A ONE YEAR AND THAT WE REALLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE A VERY BIG DIFFERENCE IN THE REPAIRS THAT WE MAKE.

UM, AND THEY'VE DONE WORK FOR THE CITY BEFORE.

THEY'VE BEEN AROUND ABOUT 10 YEARS DOING WORK THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND OTHER CITIES, SO.

THEY UNDERSTAND WELL, UH, AT THIS POINT, YEAH.

I'M GONNA TAKE YOUR WORD AND THEIR WORD TO YOU THAT, UH, THEY CAN MEET THE, UH, PRIORITIES, UH, FOR THE, UH, THE PROJECTS THAT WE'VE GOT COMMITTED.

THANK, THANK YOU.

RECOGNIZING COUNCIL MEMBER RIDER.

AND GREAT JOB.

UM, UM, I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

THE AREAS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED, UM, IN THE MAP, HOW, HOW WERE THEY, THESE PARTICULAR ONES DESIGNATED? IS IT BASED ON AGE OR IS IT BASED ON REPORTS OF DAMAGE OR WHAT? UM, FOR THE STREETS, IT'S BASED ON AGE AND OUR, OUR PAVEMENT INDICATOR, WHICH TAKES A, A CONSIDERATION OF THE AGE OF THE STREETS AND ALSO THE CONDITIONS.

SO WE, UH, USE THAT TO PRIORITIZE THE STREETS FOR THE SIDEWALKS.

IT'S BASED OFF OF SEVERITY AND, UH, AS THEY COME IN.

AND THEN WE'LL TAKE ALL CUMULATIVE.

WE KNOW THAT CERTAIN AREAS DID HAVE, WELL, WE'LL HAVE MORE, UH, SIDEWALKS THAN OTHERS BECAUSE OF THE AGE, AND WE'LL WORK ON THOSE FIRST AND PRIORITIZE PER DISTRICT.

SO WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT EVERY DISTRICT GETS SOME OF THIS CONTRACT WORK ACCOMPLISHED.

AND SO THAT MAP WILL LOOK A LITTLE BETTER NEXT YEAR.

ACTUALLY, NO, IT'LL BE ABOUT THE SAME .

AND THEN MY NEXT QUESTION IS, UM, THE SIX CREWS, ARE THEY WORKING ALL IN ONE DISTRICT AT ONE TIME OR ARE THEY GONNA BE SPREAD OUT THROUGHOUT THE CITY? NO, SIMULTANEOUSLY THEY WILL BE SPREAD OUT AND THEY'LL BE DOING BOTH STREET AND SIDEWALK.

AND SO THAT'S WHY WE REALLY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS ONE, UH, CONTRACTOR WILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE THIS CITY SO THAT WE CAN SEE WORK DONE IN DIFFERENT DISTRICTS.

SO YOU SAID THEY'RE WORKING ON THE STREETS AND THE SIDEWALKS IN THAT ONE AREA AT THE SAME TIME? NO, NOT, NO, NOT NECESSARILY IN ONE AREA.

OH, OKAY.

'CAUSE THAT WAS KIND OF CONCERNING TO ME, .

'CAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT DO WALK AND SO IF THAT'S A STREET BEING REPAIRED RIGHT.

WE, ALONG WITH THE SIDEWALK, WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT THAT TYPE OF SCHEDULING, UM, WON'T HAPPEN.

AND THIS MAY NOT BE A QUESTION YOU PROBABLY FACTORED, BUT WHAT TYPE OF SIGNAGE ARE WE PUTTING OUT THERE TO LET THOSE, UH, NEIGHBORHOODS KNOW WHAT TYPE OF WORK IS GONNA BE DONE? CONSTRUCTION, IF THEY NEED TO DETOUR, UM, THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO WHEN IT COMES TO STREET REPAIRS AND TRAFFIC CONTROL, THERE WILL BE, UM, PROPER TRAFFIC CONTROL SIGNAGE.

UM, BUT AS FAR AS, IF THEY NEED PRIOR NOTICE, THEN WE'LL GIVE PRIOR NOTICE WHETHER IT'S, UM, OUT, YOU KNOW, INSTRUCTIVE TO BE ON OUR WEBSITE OR WE'LL GIVE TO RESIDENTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S A SIDEWALK REPAIR.

ALWAYS GO AND CONTACT DIRECTLY THE RESIDENT.

[00:15:01]

THAT COULD BE IMPACTED BY THAT.

BECAUSE I KNOW SOME OF THE, IN SOME OF THESE AREAS YOU HAVE SOME, YOU KNOW, SENIOR CITIZENS.

AND YOU KNOW, IF THEY'RE, WE DON'T WANT THEM TO HAVE ANY, UH, TRIP HAZARDS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

THEN MY LAST QUESTION IS WITH THE BOND MONEY, UM, ARE ANY, I KNOW YOU SAID THAT THESE ARE, UH, ASSOCIATED, THE BOND IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT, BUT YOU MENTIONED THAT THERE, THAT WAS A PART OF THE PARKS.

SO, UM, IS THAT, IS, IS THAT YEAH.

THE PARK SIDEWALKS.

RECOGNIZING COUNCILMAN RAMON.

THAT WAS, THAT WAS WHAT MY QUESTION WAS.

OH, SO THE MONEY THAT WAS IN THE BOND THAT'S RE RELATED TO STREET REPAIR, THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

UM, I JUST, UH, WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

IT WAS EXCELLENT.

UM, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ASK, UH, THAT YOU ALL PROVIDE US, UH, WITH TWO PIECES OF INFORMATION MOVING FORWARD.

UM, 'CAUSE I KNOW I OFTENTIMES ASK FOR IT, AND I DON'T HAVE, I'M NOT, IT'S NOT READILY AVAILABLE TO ME, BUT ONE BEING THE, UM, THE FIRM THAT HAS GRADED OUR STREETS AND OUR SIDEWALKS.

UM, I'M SORRY.

N NO, I, I WAS SAYING, UH, YOU KNOW, IF YOU COULD PROVIDE US WITH THE MOST RECENT REPORT.

I KNOW YOU MENTIONED THAT THERE'S ONE BEING DONE NOW, BUT UNTIL THAT ONE IS COMPLETED, OR JUST EVERY TIME, I THINK IT'S ALWAYS GOOD THAT WE HAVE AN IDEA OF HOW THESE STREETS AND THESE SIDEWALKS HAVE BEEN GRADED.

BECAUSE I THINK SOMETIMES WHEN WE SEE NUMBERS LIKE THIS OR DECISIONS MADE BY PUBLIC WORKS, WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY, YOU KNOW, WHY MAYBE CERTAIN DISTRICTS MAY GET MORE THAN OTHERS, WHICH IS THE SECOND PIECE OF INFORMATION.

I THINK THAT IS IMPORTANT.

REPORT WISE, IF WE CAN GET LIKE, MAYBE THE LAST THREE TO FIVE YEARS HISTORICAL DATA OF, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE'VE SPENT, UH, YEAR TO YEAR ON THE DIFFERENT DISTRICTS FOR STREETS AND SIDEWALKS, I THINK THOSE TWO PIECES OF INFORMATION WOULD BE HELPFUL.

I CAN GET YOU, WE CAN GET THAT TO YOU RECOGNIZING COUNCIL MEMBER.

YEAH, I, I'D LIKE TO THANK BROOKS FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT.

IT'S A LONG TIME.

I'LL SAY THANK YOU.

YOU GUYS HAVE DONE GREAT WORK OVER THE FEW YEARS, BUT I'VE BEEN ON COUNCIL AND YOU GUYS DO QUALITY WORK.

CONTINUE TO COMMUNICATE WITH RESIDENTS LIKE, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER RILEY MENTIONED, UH, SPRINKLER REPAIRS OFTEN COME UP AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHO TO CALL.

SO MAYBE IN OUR COMMUNICATION, IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, THIS IS WHO YOU CALL.

'CAUSE YOU KNOW, THEY'LL START CALLING EVERYBODY.

UM, THE HEAT MAP FOR DISTRICT C DOESN'T FEEL LIKE $140,000.

IT LOOKS LIKE MORE, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS JUST KIND OF A, A DIFFERENT MAP OR WHATNOT, BUT I FEEL LIKE WE COULD PROBABLY GET $140,000 WORTH OF SIDEWALKS DONE IN JUST THE NORTHERN PART OF DISTRICT C.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S AN ACCURATE HEAT MAP, BUT IT DOESN'T FEEL EQUAL TO ME.

SO THAT IS THE OLDER PART OF DISTRICT C AND THAT'S WHY THAT HEAT MAP, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S MORE, UH, YOU HAVE MORE LOCATIONS THAN THAT PART OF THE DISTRICT.

SO WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS THOSE ARE AREAS THAT HAVE REPORTS AND WE'RE JUST GOING TO TRY TO OVERLAP 140 ON TOP OF SOMEWHERE IN SEA OF THE LOCATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN GIVEN.

WE'VE ESTIMATED IT TO BE ABOUT 140.

SO ALL THAT, THAT WILL BE 140 FOR SIDEWALKS.

I LIKE BROOKS BETTER.

MAYOR RECOGNIZED AND COUNCIL MEMBER BROWN MARSHALL.

UH, ANGEL WAS GONNA ASK, OH, I'M SORRY.

YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO NOTE THAT, UM, STAFF WILL BE PROVIDING A LIST OF ALL THE, THE STREETS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN HERE IN A SEPARATE DOCUMENT.

COUNCIL MEMBER BOB MARSHALL.

THANK, THANK YOU SO MUCH, MAYOR.

I TOO HAD KIND OF THE SAME CONCERN AS, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER MARLES.

IT JUST SEEMED LIKE IT WAS SO MUCH MM-HMM.

EVEN OVER IN DISTRICT B.

, UM, NEAR THE INDEPENDENCE BOULEVARD AREA.

SO THE DOLLAR VALUE THAT'S KIND OF TIED OVER IN DISTRICT B.

676,000 SEEMS TO KIND OF MATCH THE, UH, HEAT MAP.

BUT I GUESS I'LL JUST HAVE TO ASSUME THAT THE ONES OVER IN DISTRICT C MAY BE A LITTLE SMALLER THOUGH.

THEY'RE MORE SPREAD OUT.

SO WHEN YOU HAVE OLDER AREAS, THEY TEND TO HAVE TREES.

TREES TEND TO ESCALATE YOUR COST.

SO THAT COULD BE, THAT COULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE FACTORS AS WE ESTIMATE.

BUT EVERY, EVERY AREA HAS ITS OWN SPECIAL CONDITIONS.

BUT THE OLDER AREAS, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE MORE LOCATIONS.

LOCATION.

YEAH, THAT'S YOUR HONOR.

YOU'RE IN THE MIDST OF IT, HONESTLY, SOME DETOUR SIGNS WOULD REALLY, REALLY HELP.

UM, I KIND OF WANTED TO GO BACK TO WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER RILEY WAS TALKING ABOUT A LITTLE BIT EARLIER.

I KNOW THAT SHASHI AND I HAD TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, DETOUR SIGNAGE WOULD HELP TREMENDOUSLY.

I KNOW WE WANNA PLACE THEM ON OUR WEBSITES AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT OFTENTIMES WHEN YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO GET SOMEWHERE AND

[00:20:01]

SO IF WE COULD HAVE THOSE, ESPECIALLY WITH WHEN STREETS ARE TOTALLY DOWN.

, PEOPLE ALWAYS DON'T KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO.

AND THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT.

SO I ENCOURAGE YOU, PLEASE, TO HAVE DETOUR SIGNAGE AND TO EXPLAIN TO ME WHY WE CAN'T COMPLETE ALL THE WORK IN ONE AREA FIRST BEFORE WE GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

SO THAT IS, UH, PART OF OUR PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN IS TO DO THAT.

JUST THAT, UM, TO MAKE SURE THAT IT CAN BE A COMPLETE PROJECT, WHETHER IT'S ON A FULL STREET OR NOT.

UM, BUT WE WILL NOT BE DOING STREET AND SIDEWALK AT THE SAME TIME JUST BECAUSE OF THE, UM, INCONVENIENCES THAT IT CAN CAUSE, BUT OKAY.

YEAH.

SO, SO THE SIX WORK CREWS, THEY COULD BE IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE CITY.

BUT THE IDEA IS CREW A WILL COMPLETE, SAY, SAY IF THEY'RE OVER UP IN, OFF OF INDEPENDENCE.

WITH SUCH A HIGH CONCENTRATION AREA, IS THE GOAL TO COMPLETE ALL $675,000 WORTH OF WORK HERE BEFORE THEY MOVE TO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

FOR SIDEWALKS.

FOR SIDEWALKS AND YES.

EVEN WITH, YEAH, EVEN WITH STREETS.

THAT, THAT'S, THAT'S MORE THAN FAIR.

MY LAST QUESTION, AND PARDON ME, 'CAUSE MAYBE THIS IS JUST IGNORANCE ON MY, ON MY PART.

THIS IS ALL COMING FROM GENERAL FUND MONEY.

IS THIS ALSO BOND MONEY OR IS THIS IS JUST PURE GENERAL FUND MONEY AND FUNDS THAT WE'VE RECEIVED FROM METRO? BOTH, YES.

I JUST HAVE, UH, NOT REALLY A QUESTION, JUST A COMMENT.

UH, PIGGYBACKING OFF OF SOME OF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU HEARD, UM, WE GOT TO DO A BETTER JOB OF LETTING OUR CITIZENS KNOW.

UM, WHEN I SAY THAT IS, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE COMMUNICATION DEPARTMENT THAT PUTS IT ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS THAT WE HAVE NOW, STRATEGICALLY PUT THESE DIGITAL SIGNS ELSEWHERE AND TO DETOUR SIGNS, YOU KNOW, SO WE, WE, WE HAVE TO LET THEM KNOW.

AND THEN, YOU KNOW, IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE THAT IF, IF ON A SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM FROM CITY THAT WE CAN SAY THAT STARTING MARCH 18TH, YOU KNOW, WE'RE STARTING AT HUNTER'S GLEN, YOU KNOW, NEIGHBORHOODS, UM, NOT GOING INTO THE STREETS PER SE, BUT AT LEAST PEOPLE HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT'S HAPPENING.

THE LAST THING THAT YOU WANT IS YOU JUST SEE SOME, YOU KNOW, YOU GO TO WORK AND YOU COME BACK, YOU HAVE SIDEWALKS RIPPED OFF, AND YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY, SPRINKLER IS BROKEN, THERE'S WATER EVERYWHERE.

UH, THAT'S JUST NOT, TO ME IS, IS NOT, IT'S NOT MANAGING OUR WORK PROPERLY.

AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT THIS TAKES PLACE ALL THE TIME, BUT THIS IS WHAT SOMETHING THAT OUR RESIDENTS HAVE TOLD US, OUR HOAS REPRESENTATIVES IN THE, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE DO A ALL HOA, SO THESE ARE MUTUALLY THINGS THAT THEY TALKED ABOUT.

UH, IT'S NOT THAT GETTING THE WORK DONE IS, IS A ISSUE, BUT WE GOT TO FIND A WAY TO MANAGE THIS MM-HMM.

, UM, WITH PROPER COMMUNICATION WITH WHETHER IT'S EDUCA EDUCATION, OR AT LEAST EVEN FOR FUTURE, SO THEY KNOW WHAT'S COMING SO THEY CAN PLAN THINGS BETTER.

SO THAT'S JUST MY COMMENT AND, UH, ILL BACK.

I SEE MAYOR PROAM EMERY.

YEAH.

WELL, I, I THINK, UH, ONE OF THE, UH, ITEMS THAT WAS BROUGHT UP WAS THE COMMUNICATIONS.

MAKING SURE THAT OUR, UH, OUR RESIDENTS KNOW, UH, WHEN WORK IS GOING TO BE DONE.

AND SECONDLY, THAT WE DON'T FALL INTO THE SAME TRAP THAT WE FALL, WE HAVE FALLEN INTO WITH THE, UH, WORK THAT'S BEING DONE BY SOME OF OUR, UH, UH, CAR, UH, CABLE, UH, CARRIERS AND, AND, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE'RE CUTTING, WHERE THEY'RE CUTTING, YOU KNOW, UH, WATER LINES, GAS LINES, AND WHATEVER YOU, NOW, WE CAN ALWAYS SAY, WELL, THAT'S SOMEBODY ELSE, BUT THIS IS MISSOURI CITY.

SO IF WE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH CUTTING LINES OR, UH, THINGS OF THAT NATURE, IT FALLS BACK ON US BECAUSE THIS IS OUR PROJECT.

THIS ISN'T, UH, SOMETHING THAT'S BEING DONE BY ONE OF THE, UH, ONE OF THE OTHER CARRIERS.

SO I'D ONLY, UH, TRY TO, UH, REINFORCE THE IDEA THAT WE REALLY HAVE TO DO A GOOD JOB OF COMMUNICATING, AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER MARKINGS ARE NECESSARY TO IDENTIFY WHERE WATER LINES ARE AND PIPE, YOU KNOW, AND GAS LINES ARE, THAT THAT'S, UH, TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT YES.

TO HELP BROOKS, UH, DO THEIR JOB, UH, AND DO IT EXPEDITIOUSLY.

RILEY, LET'S GO AHEAD AND VOTE.

I THANK YOU.

I DON'T SEE ANYONE ELSE ON THE QUEUE.

WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER MULU SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER

[00:25:01]

NUMBER EIGHT, OUR APPOINTMENTS EIGHT A, UH, CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPOINT A MEMBER OF MEMBER TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE FORT BEND, UH, SUBSIDENCE DISTRICT BOARD FOR A TWO YEAR TERM, BEGINNING ON FEBRUARY 1ST, 2024, AND ENDING ON JANUARY 31ST, 2026.

[(a) Consideration and Possible Action - Appoint a member to the board of directors of the Fort Bend Subsidence District Board for a two-year term beginning on February 1, 2024 and ending on January 31, 2026.]

BRISTOL.

WRONG.

UM, WILLIAM P. WALLACE HAS SERVED ON THIS BOARD REPRESENTING THE CITY, UM, SINCE 1995, AND HE IS THE CURRENT SECRETARY, UH, FOR THIS BOARD.

UM, I BELIEVE MR. WALLACE IS IN THE AUDIENCE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR HIM.

UM, I, I PLACED MYSELF ON THE QUEUE.

JUST, JUST WANTED TO SAY IT'S FINALLY GOOD TO MEET YOU.

THANK YOU FOR, FOR YOUR YEARS OF SERVICES, AND THANK YOU FOR COMING TONIGHT.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME AS I VOTE FOR THESE THINGS, AND AT LEAST I GET TO SEE WHO I'M VOTING FOR.

UM, SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING.

ALRIGHT.

UM, RECOGNIZING COUNCIL MEMBER LAUS.

MR. WALLACE, WHY DON'T YOU COME, COME UP TO YOU.

YOU CAME ALL THE WAY HERE.

YOU'VE BEEN SERVING SINCE 95.

YOU'VE BEEN SERVING US SINCE 95.

YES, MA'AM.

TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS BOARD, WHAT YOU DO AND, AND WHY YOU HAVE A DESIRE TO CONTINUE TO SERVE.

YEAH, THAT WAS EASY.

, YOU KNOW, WHEN I WAS APPOINTED TO THIS BOARD, UH, IT WAS, WAS SUBSIDENCE WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT I WAS TOTALLY FAMILIAR WITH.

I AM NOT A GEOLOGIST, A ENGINEER OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE, BUT, UH, IT HAS BEEN A GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCE.

ONE, TWO, UH, UNDERSTANDING THE COST RAMIFICATIONS NOT ONLY TO THE CITY, BUT TO THE COUNTY AS WELL AS OUR RESIDENTS, OF WHICH I AM ONE.

AND PAYING THAT COST.

UH, IT WAS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO BE ENGAGED, AND I'VE ENJOYED BEING ENGAGED IN THAT PROCESS.

THE OTHER THING THAT HAS BEEN IMPORTANT TO ME IS THAT THE CITY HAS STOOD UP AND SUPPORTED THIS DISTRICT IN MAKING SURE THAT IT WAS IN COMPLIANCE WITH AND SUPPORTING THE INITIATIVES THAT WAS SET BY THE DISTRICT WITH THE WHOLE GOAL OF MINIMIZING SUBSIDENCE, WHICH HAS MAJOR IMPACTS, NOT ONLY ON THE ROADS AND STREETS AND THE THINGS THAT YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS EVENING, BUT ALSO IN TERMS OF RESIDENTS IN TERMS OF HOW THAT IMPACTS THE COMPASSION SOIL ON THERE'S, ON THE VARIOUS STRUCTURES IN THE CITY.

UH, HAPPILY THIS DISTRICT IS REPRESENTED BY ALL THE MAJOR CITIES, THE FORT BEND COUNTY COMMISSIONER'S COURT, AS WELL AS THE, UH, COUNCIL OF MAYORS AND CITIES.

SO IT'S WELL REPRESENTED.

THE IMPACT IS SIGNIFICANT ACROSS NOT ONLY MISSOURI CITY, BUT FORT BEND COUNTY.

AND, UH, PERSONALLY I'D LIKE TO THANK Y'ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND THE, AND THE HISTORICAL PORT OF THE PAST, UH, MAYORS AND COUNCIL MEMBERS, UH, TO FOCUS ON THIS INITIATIVE AND SUPPORT AS WELL AS STAFF.

AND THANKS ACTUALLY HIS GROUP FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE AND ENGAGEMENT AS WELL.

SO, UH, IT'S JUST, IT'S AN IMPORTANT MATTER, UH, FROM A FLOODING STANDPOINT, UH, AND SOMETHING THAT I TAKE VERY SERIOUSLY, UH, IN TERMS OF MY INITIATIVE AND HOW I REPRESENT THE CITY, CITY FIRST, AND THEN FORT BEND COUNTY SECOND.

BUT, UH, IT'S, IT'S JUST AN IMPORTANT MATTER TO ME.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

YOU GOT MY VOTE, AND THANK YOU.

RECOGNIZING, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER.

BING.

THANK YOU, UH, SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE, MR. WALLACE.

YES, SIR.

UH, YOU KNOW, I'VE HAD A, THE PLEASURE OF MEETING YOU.

UM, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS SURROUNDING, YOU KNOW, FORT BEND AS A WHOLE, THE WHOLE SUBSIDENCE ISSUE.

I KNOW, UH, IN OUR MEETINGS WITH THE FORT BEND COUNTY MAYOR AND COUNCIL ASSOCIATION, UH, THERE WAS A PUSH, UH, TO TRY TO EVEN DETERMINE, UH, WHETHER THIS WAS STILL APPLICABLE TO EVERYONE, UH, IN FORT BEND COUNTY.

SO I GUESS, UH, I'M SURE YOU'VE HEARD THESE DISCUSSIONS BEING ON THE BOARD.

IF YOU COULD JUST GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF A, AN IDEA OF WHERE THE SUBSIDENCE DISTRICT BOARD IS, UH, ON THIS ISSUE.

WELL, RIGHT NOW IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF DOING A, UH, JOINT REGULATORY REVIEW SURVEY.

UH, THE STUDY IS CURRENTLY, UH, FOR THE MOST PART NEAR COMPLETION.

UH, AND THAT STUDY WILL BASICALLY DO SEVERAL THINGS.

UH, IT WILL TELL US SORT OF WHAT THE SUBSIDENCE RATES HAVE BEEN AROUND THE COUNTY AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

IT WILL ALSO, AND IT'S DRIVEN BY NOT ONLY THE GROWTH IN, UH, OUR CITIZENRY ACROSS FORT BEND COUNTY AND CITIES SPECIFICALLY, UH, AND THAT INFORMATION ULTIMATELY, AND WE'RE MODELING THOSE, THAT DATA AND STATISTICS NOW TO GIVE US VARIOUS SCENARIOS.

THE OUTCOME OF THAT WILL OF COURSE BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE VARIOUS CONSTITUENTS, INCLUDING THE VARIOUS CITIES AND

[00:30:01]

WHATNOT, SO THAT THEY WILL HAVE THEIR OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE INPUT IN TERMS OF THOSE FINDINGS.

THE ULTIMATE RESULT OF THIS WILL BE, AS SOME OF YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW, THERE IS A CONVERSION TO 40% OF GROUNDWATER USAGE, UH, CURRENTLY IN, IN PLACE, WHICH IS WE MOVE FROM 2025 TO 2027 TO GIVE THE VERY, TO COMPLETE THE REVIEW AND TO GIVE THE CONSTITUENTS TIME TO IN FACT UNDERSTAND AND REVIEW FOR THEIR IN, FOR YOUR INPUT, UH, INTO THAT DATA.

UH, AND THEN ULTIMATELY THE QUESTION THEN BECOMES, WHAT WILL WE MODIFY IN TERMS OF FURTHER REDUCING GROUNDWATER USAGE AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE IMPACT IS ON SUBSIDENCE? WILL WE BACK OFF OR WILL WE JUST SU SUSTAIN OUR CURRENT FOCUS AND PLAN? UH, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT ANSWERED TOTALLY YOUR QUESTION, BUT, UH, THAT'S WHERE WE ALL SOMEWHAT DEFINITELY, I, I LOOK FORWARD TO THE FINDINGS AND THEN, UH, HOPEFULLY WE CAN REVISIT AND GOTTA GET AN IDEA.

OF COURSE.

AND IF YOU COULD JUST LET, WHEN ARE YOU ALL, WHEN ARE YOU, WHEN ARE YOU ALL'S MEETINGS? WE MEET THE FOURTH WEDNESDAY OF EVERY MONTH.

UH, OBVIOUSLY WE DID NOT MEET IN NOVEMBER.

WE'RE GONNA MEET IN DECEMBER.

SOME BECAUSE OF THE AGENDA WAS NOT SIGNIFICANT, BUT UP UNTIL NOVEMBER TYPICALLY WE, WE WILL ALWAYS MEET THE FOURTH WEDNESDAY OF EVERY MONTH.

AND THAT IS IN FACT, UH, ON OUR WEBSITE.

AND INFORMATION IS, UH, ALWAYS PUT OUT THERE AS WELL.

THANK YOU, SIR.

BUT IF THE COUNCIL NEEDS ANY INFORMATION OR IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOMEONE, A GROUP OF US TO COME AND MAKE A PRESENTATION TO YOU ABOUT THE DISTRICT AND SOME OF WHERE WE ARE AT THIS POINT, UH, OBVIOUSLY THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IS DOABLE AS WELL.

AND WE'LL GET STAFF AND WORK WITH YOU ON THAT.

YOU'RE QUITE WELCOME.

CRYSTAL ROLL.

UM, WE DID RECEIVE FOUR OTHER APPLICATIONS, BUT THOSE APPLICANTS DID NOT, UH, MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS, UH, FOR THIS BOARD.

WE WAITED, UM, TO BRING THIS APPOINTMENT TO CITY COUNCIL BECAUSE, UM, OF THE BYLAW AMENDMENTS THAT WERE RECENTLY PASSED BY THE COUNCIL.

UM, RECOGNIZING COUNCIL MEMBER BONNEY, UM, MAYOR, I JUST WANNA SAY, AS A LONG-TERM MEMBER OF THE CD, UH, AC COMMITTEE AND THE CURRENT CHAIR, UH, IT IS TRULY MY HONOR TO, UH, RECOMMEND, UH, OUR UNANIMOUS APPROVAL OF PURLEY BIRD WHO SERVES CURRENTLY AS OUR VICE CHAIR AND THAT GLAZE, UH, BOTH OF THEM SERVE, UH, FAITHFULLY AND, UH, AND ARE ENGAGED AND WITH DISTINCTION.

A MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

NINE ARE ORDINANCES NINE A, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MISSOURI CITY, TEXAS AMENDING THE GENERAL BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR, BEGINNING OCTOBER 1ST, 2022, AND ENDING SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2023.

ITEM NUMBER

[(a) Consideration and Possible Action - First and Final Reading - An ordinance amending the Fiscal Year 2023 Adopted Budget.]

TRANSFERRING VARIOUS APPROPRIATIONS AMONG ACCOUNTS, APPROPRIATING SUPPLEMENTAL REVENUE TO VARIOUS FUND ACCOUNTS, AUTHORIZING THE APPROPRIATE CITY OFFICIALS TO TAKE STEPS NECESSARY TO ACCOMPLISH SUCH TRANSFERS, MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS AND CONTAINING CERTAIN PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE SUBJECT.

UM, WE HAVE, UH, BERTHA HERE.

BERTHA, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS? UM, I DO HAVE A GO AHEAD PRESENTATION, BUT WE CAN NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

WE WILL WANT YOU TO HAVE THE PRESENTATION.

FROM NON-DEPARTMENTAL TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IN ORDER TO COVER OVERTIME RESULTING FROM A SHORTAGE IN STAFFING.

UM, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

SO THIS IS OUR CLEANUP BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR FY 2023.

FOR THE GENERAL FUND, WE ARE INCREASING THE REVENUE BUDGET BY 3.1 MILLION TO EQUAL ACTUAL COLLECTIONS FOR PROPERTY TAXES, SALES TAXES, LICENSES AND PERMITS INTER GOV REVENUE, WHICH IS REALLY THE REIMBURSEMENT FOR SIENNA FIRE STATION.

AND OF COURSE INTEREST INCOME ON THE EXPENSE SIDE.

WE ARE TRANSFERRING 685,000 IN SALARIES AND BENEFITS

[00:35:01]

SO THE NET IMPACT IS ZERO, WE'RE SIMPLY GOING FROM ONE DEPARTMENT TO ANOTHER DEPARTMENT.

NET IMPACT IS 3.1 MILLION IN REVENUE, ESTIMATED ENDING FUND BALANCE FOR THE GENERAL FUND, 34.4 MILLION SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS.

I'M GONNA GROUP THIS, UM, GRANT FUND TWO 30.

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT RECEIVED THE GRANT FOR $64,750 TO PROVIDE FIRST AID CPR TRAINING FOR STUDENTS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT.

OUR OPIOID FUND 2 45, WE ARE INCREASING REVENUE TO ACCOUNT FOR THE RECEIPT OF THE FIRST OF THREE PAYMENTS FROM THE OPIOID SETTLEMENT.

THIS BUDGET AMENDMENT IS IN THE AMOUNT OF 66,700.

FOR OUR HOT FUND, WHICH IS THE HOTEL 2 55, WE'RE INCREASING REVENUE BY 135,000 TO EQUAL ACTUAL COLLECTIONS FOR OUR TARS ONE, TWO, AND THREE COMBINED, WE'RE INCREASING REVENUE BY 1.9 MILLION TO EQUAL ESTIMATED COLLECTIONS FOR PROPERTY TAXES FROM FORT BEND COUNTY AND FOR SNA LEAD TAXES FOR TSS THREE PARKLAND ZONES, PARTICULARLY NUMBER FIVE AND NUMBER 12, WE ARE INCREASING REVENUE BY 310,000 TO EQUAL ACTUAL COLLECTIONS FOR INTEREST INCOME.

ON THE EXPENSE SIDE, WE HAVE ONE ITEM, GRANT FUND, 202 30.

WE'RE INCREASING THE FEDERAL GRANT EXPENSE BY $2,235.

THAT'S TO COVER EXPENDITURES ASSOCIATED WITH FIRST AID AND CPR TRAINING.

YOU WILL SEE ON THE 2024 BUDGET AMENDMENT THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY BUDGETING THE REMAINING BALANCE FROM THE GRANT.

SO OUR IMPACT IS AN INCREASE IN REVENUE OF 2.5 MILLION AND AN INCREASE IN EXPENSE OF 200, I'M SORRY, $2,235.

OUR NET IMPACT IS 2.5 MILLION.

THE ESTIMATED ENDING FUND BALANCE FOR THE FUNDS THAT ARE IMPACTED BY THIS BUDGET AMENDMENT TOTALS 25.9 MILLION.

FOR THE DEBT SERVICE FUND, WE'RE INCREASING PROPERTY TAX REVENUE OF 252,000 TO EQUAL ACTUAL COLLECTIONS.

WE'RE INCREASING INTEREST INCOME IN THE AMOUNT OF 258,000 TO EQUAL ACTUAL COLLECTIONS.

THE IMPACT IS AN INCREASE IN REVENUE OF 510,000.

OUR ESTIMATED ENDING FUND BALANCE IS 6.1 MILLION FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS AT SALES TAX INCREASE.

SO DOES THE METRO FUND REVENUE.

SO THIS IS AN INCREASE OF 644,000 TO EQUAL ESTIMATED ACTUAL COLLECTIONS.

WE'RE ALSO INCREASING INTEREST INCOME REVENUE OF 40,000 ONCE AGAIN TO EQUAL ACTUAL COLLECTIONS.

AND IN OTHER MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE, WE ARE INCREASING REVENUE BY 290,000 TO ACCOUNT FOR THE REIMBURSEMENT FROM TURS.

ONE FOR THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH SIDEWALKS AND OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE REPAIRS.

THE GENERAL PROJECT FUND 4 0 2, WE'RE INCREASING THE TRANSFER IN FROM, IN THIS CASE THE FLEET REPLACEMENT FUND OF $286,641.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE A DEEPER EXPLANATION ON THIS PARTICULAR TRANSACTION.

UM, WE HAD UNSPENT BOND PROCEEDS FROM 2021 WHEN WE ACTUALLY PURCHASED A FIRE PUMPER FOR FIRE STATION SIX.

NOW, FOR THOSE BONDS, WE COULD ONLY USE THE BALANCE FOR A SIMILAR TYPE PROJECT.

SO AS YOU MAY RECALL, IN JANUARY, YOU ALL APPROVED THE PURCHASE OF A WATER TANKER TRUCK.

SO THAT'S A SIMILAR ITEM.

SO WE IN ESSENCE, TOOK A PORTION OF THE PURCHASE COST FOR THE TANKER, MOVED IT ONTO

[00:40:01]

THE BOND PROCEEDS, AND THEN WE U WE'RE REQUESTING TO USE THE FREED UP BALANCE IN THE GENERAL FUND TO COMPLETE THE PAVERS PROJECT.

OF COURSE, WE DID GET BOND COUNCIL APPROVAL TO MAKE THE, UM, SHIFT OF EXPENDITURES FOR THE SIMILAR TYPE ITEM, UH, TRANSPORTATION DRAINAGE FUND FOR THREE, WE ARE REQUESTING AN INCREASE IN INTEREST INCOME, 298,000 TO EQUAL ACTUAL COLLECTIONS.

AND THEN THE BOND PROCEEDS, WHICH ARE IN FUNDS FOUR 10 THROUGH FOUR 15, WE'RE INCREASING INTEREST INCOME OF APPROXIMATELY 1.2 MILLION DUE TO THE GROWTH IN INVESTMENT EARNINGS.

ON THE EXPENSE SIDE, THERE'S AN INCREASE IN SIDEWALK REPAIRS OF 286,641, WHICH IS THE EXPLANATION I JUST GAVE.

AND THAT'S FOR THE COMPLETION OF THE PAVERS PROJECT, UM, IN THE FRONT OF CITY HALL, IMPACT 2.8 MILLION IN REVENUE 286,641 IN EXPENSE FOR A NET IN IMPACT OF 2.5 MILLION.

OUR ESTIMATED ENDING FUND BALANCE FOR THOSE FUNDS SUBJECT TO THIS AMENDMENT IS $8 MILLION LGC.

WE'RE INCREASING INTEREST INCOME, $15,000 AND CHARGES FOR SERVICES OF 123,000 IN EXPENDITURES.

WE ARE INCREASING EXPENDITURES FOR THE GRILL FOR 138,000.

THE IMPACT IS 138,000 IN REVENUE.

138,000 IN EXPENSE NET IMPACT OF ZERO ESTIMATED ENDING FUND BALANCE 253,289.

OH, SORRY.

THAT CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION OF THE FY 2023 BUDGET AMENDMENT.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

UH, RECOGNIZING, MAY I APPROACH YOUR MEMORY? YES.

UH, GOING BACK TO ONE OF THE, UH, ENTRIES THAT, UH, WAS FOR, UH, OVERTIME FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

SO I JUST WANTED TO BRING IT OUT THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT, UH, A LOT OF THE HARD WORK THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING WITH OUR COMPENSATION HAS WORKED AND WE'RE NOW TO A POINT WHERE, UH, WE'RE, UH, FULLY STAFFED.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR COUNCIL.

THAT'S CORRECT.

WE'RE FULLY STAFFED NOW.

SO AS OF UH, WELL I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT UP AND ALSO SHOW THAT THAT ENTRY, UH, WILL NOT BE DUPLICATED IN OUR BUDGET YEAR 2024, CORRECT? CORRECT.

FOR CONVERSATION WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT FULLY STAFFED, THEY EXPECT THE FIREMEN TO TAKE ON THEIR FULL RESPONSIBILITIES AROUND CHRISTMAS TIME.

CORRECT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK EVERYONE.

RECOGNIZING COUNCIL MEMBER RILEY.

GREAT PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU, BERTHA.

UH, MY QUESTION IS PROBABLY MORE SO TO SHASHI ABOUT THE PAVERS, UM, THE COMPLETION OF THE PAVERS.

IS THIS GOING TO COMPLETE THE ENTIRE PATHWAY OF CITY HALL INCLUDING THE, UM, THE WALKUPS AS WELL? GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL? YES, COUNCIL MEMBER.

IT'LL COMPLETE THE REMAINING SECTION IN FRONT OF CITY HALL, SO IT'S GONNA BE ALL FLAT.

RECOGNIZING COUNCIL MEMBER BONY.

RECOGNIZING COUNCIL MEMBER BROWN MARSHALL, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I JUST HAD ONE INQUIRY IN REGARDS TO THE LGC, THE INCREASE IN EXPENDITURES, UH, FOR THE GRILL, THE 138,000, IS IT JUST COINCIDENTAL THAT UM, THE EXPENDITURES HAPPEN TO MATCH THE SAME INCOME, INCREASE THE SAME, I'M SORRY, WHICH THE SAME REVENUE ENTRY, UHHUH THE SAME REVENUE? UH, WE TYPICALLY TRY TO KEEP THE BUDGET BALANCED.

UM, I JUST PLACED MYSELF IN NOT REALLY A QUESTION.

I WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK,

[00:45:01]

UH, COUNCIL MEMBER BONY.

MAY I APPROACH HIM, EMERY AND COUNCIL MEMBER MARLES FOR THIS WHOLE YEAR, UH, WORTH OF YOUR FINANCE.

UH, CITY MANAGER JONES, GREAT JOB IN, IN THE WHOLE PROCESS.

I MEAN, AS A RESIDENT NOT SITTING UP HERE AS A MAYOR, I THINK I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR THIS BUDGET AND WHAT YOU ALL PUT TOGETHER FOR THIS YEAR FOR OUR RESIDENTS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

IT WAS A TEAM, A TEAM PROJECT, LEADERSHIP TEAM.

OTHERS, I JUST WANNA ACKNOWLEDGE THEM AS WELL.

UH, WE HAVE A MOTION MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER BONY, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER BROWN MARSHALL.

ITEM NINE B, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MISSOURI CITY TEXAS AMENDING THE GENERAL BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR, BEGINNING OCTOBER 1ST, 2023 AND ENDING SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2024.

[(b) Consideration and Possible Action - First and Final Reading - An ordinance amending the Fiscal Year 2024 Adopted Budget.]

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION ON THE FY 2024 BUDGET AMENDMENT.

WE HAVE BERTHA, THIS ONE IS MUCH SHORTER.

SO THIS IS OUR FIRST AMENDMENT FOR 2024.

WE ARE TRANSFERRING 569,000 FROM NON-DEPARTMENTAL INTO INTERNAL SERVICES OR BUILDING MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS FOR VARIOUS BUILDINGS.

THIS WAS INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET.

UM, WE PARKED THE MONEY THERE UNTIL SUCH TIME AS WE CAN SET UP PROJECT CODES FOR EACH OF OUR 21 BUILDINGS.

THE INTENT IS TO TRACK COST BY BUILDING.

SO THE NET IMPACT ON THE BUDGET IS ZERO FOR THE GENERAL FUND.

WE'RE ESTIMATING AN ENDING FUND BALANCE OF 37 MILLION FOR THE SPECIAL REVENUE FUND.

OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT RECEIVED A GRANT IN THE AMOUNT OF $35,970.

AND THIS IS FOR, UM, A PURCHASE THE BOSCH RETRIEVAL SYSTEM.

SO WE'RE INCREASING REVENUE AND EXPENSE IN A GRANT FUND.

WE'RE ALSO INCREASING FEDERAL GRANT EXPENSE IN THE AMOUNT OF $62,515, WHICH IS THE BALANCE OF THE GRANT THAT WAS AWARDED IN 2023 FOR FIRST AID AND CPR TRAINING.

SO IMPACT $35,970 IN REVENUE AND $98,485 IN EXPENSE FOR A NET IMPACT OF 62,515.

FROM FUND BALANCE, OUR ESTIMATED ENDING FUND BALANCE 33,000 0 5 5.

THIS PARTICULAR, UM, ITEM, WE ARE ESTABLISHING A REVENUE AND EXPENSE BUDGET OF 1.9 MILLION FOR SNA MUD.

NUMBER TWO, THE REVENUE CONSISTS OF VARIOUS USER FEES SUCH AS SEWER FEES, WATER CELLS, GROUND POAGE FEES.

THOSE ARE THE HIGH TICKET ITEMS. EXPENSE CONSISTS OF PURCHASE OF WATER, GRP, POAGE, FEE, EXPENSE, LIFT STATION, MAINTENANCE, AND CONTRACTUAL SERVICES.

THIS IS A ESTIMATED BALANCED BUDGET, SO THE NET IMPACT IS ZERO.

AND FINALLY, UM, SOLID WASTE.

WE ARE TRACKING SOLID WASTE FOR SIENNA MUD TO, UH, SEPARATELY FROM THE OPERATIONAL BUDGET.

SO WE ARE ESTABLISHING A REVENUE BUDGET OF $22,449 FOR FRANCHISE FEES.

ALSO A REVENUE AND EXPENSE BUDGET OF 448,980 FOR SOLID WASTE SERVICES.

THE IMPACT IS REVENUE OF 471,429, EXPENSE 448,980 FOR NET IMPACT OF $22,449, WHICH IS ALSO THE ESTIMATED ENDING FUND BALANCE.

[00:50:01]

UM, WE'RE RECOGNIZING COUNCIL MEMBER RAM BONNEY.

ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I ASKED WAS ABOUT THE FUNDS THAT, UH, WE ALLOTTED FOR 2020 THREE'S BUDGET THAT HAVE CARRIED OVER INTO 2020 FOUR'S BUDGET RELATIVE TO TWO KEY PROGRAMS THAT WE'VE APPROVED.

UH, THE RESTAURANT INCENTIVE PROGRAM AND THE FACADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

UM, THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BUDGET OF 1.5 MILLION HAD APPROXIMATELY, UM, $1.2 MILLION REMAINING.

WE SET THAT MONEY UP IN A PROJECT ACCOUNT SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO KEEP REBUDGETING THE BALANCE EVERY YEAR AS A PROJECT, WHATEVER AVAILABLE BALANCE THAT WILL ROLL FORWARD YEAR AFTER YEAR UNTIL ALL THE FUNDS ARE EXHAUSTED.

YOU ARE WELCOME.

UM, I JUST PLACED MYSELF AGAIN ON THE QUEUE JUST TO SAY THANK YOU, BUT I HAVE NOTICED A PERSON THAT I THINK IS IMPORTANT.

YOU HAD TALKED ABOUT, UH, THE MAINTENANCE IN THE, IN THE BEGINNING OF THE, THIS, UH, PRESENTATION, RIGHT? YES.

SO, I, I, I JUST WANNA RECOGNIZE CAESAR WHO'S SITTING IN THE BACK OVER THERE FROM OUR MAINTENANCE CREW.
