YOU HAD A LIST OF, UH, SOME AS HIGH AS 35,000.
THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR THOSE NAMES.
UM, AARON WATSON, UM, TELL THEM THE AMOUNTS THAT I DO NOT HAVE THE EXACT AMOUNT, BUT THAT ONE, HE WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THAT, BUT THERE ARE AMOUNTS FROM 25, 30 AND 35.
AND UP IT IS THE REASON THE CAMP I WAS OUT IN THE VALLEY.
PARDON ME? I ALWAYS SEE HIM IN THE PLANE AND IN FAR AND ALL THE OTHER EVENTS, IS THAT THE REASON COMMISSIONER, YOU, YOU MADE AN INQUIRY ABOUT THE CITY OF BELTSVILLE.
WE, WE, WE LOOKED INTO IT CITY OF BELTS AS ALL BEING PAID FOR OUT OF, UH, THE ELSA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, CDC, DDC, HOW THEY MAKE THAT DETERMINATION OR SOMETHING.
WE HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING AND WE DON'T GET INVOLVED IN OR THE CITY'S BUSINESS, BUT A LOT OF THESE ARE NOT FUNDED BY THE CITY THEY'RE FUNDED TO BDCS OR OTHER ORGANIZATIONS.
SO, UH, KEVIN FOWLER, THE WAY WE CAME TO THIS, WE ACTUALLY SUBMIT AN OFFER.
UH, IF YOU MIGHT RECALL, DOES THE SAME AMOUNT WE DID FOR, UH, CANNOT THINK OF THE GENTLEMAN OUT OF BEAUMONT, MARK CHESTNUT, MARK CHESTNUT.
UH, AND THIS ONE, BECAUSE HE'S VERY POPULAR.
HE WAS THIS YEAR, LAST WEEKEND, SOMEWHERE ELSE HERE IN THE VALLEY, BUT, UH, WE MAKE AN OFFER IT'S IN THAT BALLPARK, HE ACCEPTED THAT OFFER.
SO, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE PRESENTED AS AN OFFER THAT IT FALLS KIND OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING FOR OUR, OUR HEALTH.
UH, YES, BECAUSE THIS IS A COUNTRY MUSIC, NOT THE QUINTILES, BUT THIS IS MORE COUNTRY MUSIC.
SO WE HAVE OTHERS THAT ARE MUCH MORE OR LESS, BUT THIS ONE WE'RE, WE'RE ALREADY COMPETING WITH DATES.
UH, WE WERE LOOKING AT THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND AND THAT WAS ALREADY TAKEN UP.
SOME OF THESE WERE 35,000 THEY'RE NON-NEGOTIABLE SO THIS ONE, HE SAID, AH, LET'S SEE WHAT YOU GOT.
I MEAN, WE WERE EVEN TRYING TO GET CHARLIE CROCKING APPARENTLY HE'S GOT SOME HISTORY HERE.
SO SOMETIMES IF THEY'VE GOT AN OPENING, THEY GO, YEAH, WE'LL DO, YOU KNOW, WE'LL, WE'LL PERFORM AT YOUR EVENT.
UM, BUT THIS IS WHAT WE'VE GOT NOW.
WE'VE GOT SOME OF THE OTHER NAMES AND YOU CAN RELEASE THOSE THINGS THAT WERE, UH, BUT WE DID W WE HAD TO LISTEN NOW, UM, COMMISSIONER GABON MADE AN INQUIRY AS TO HOW WE COME UP WITH THESE NAMES, EVERY EVENT, AS YOU WALK IN PAST THE GATES, THERE'S A TABLE.
THERE'S A SURVEY THAT'S GOING ON.
THEY'RE TAKING NAMES OF FUTURE ARTISTS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE PLAYING.
AND THAT'S, SO WE'RE NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, STAFF'S, ISN'T JUST CHOOSING THESE NAMES.
THEY'RE ACTUALLY WHAT, UH, THEY'RE COMPILED BY STAFF AND THEY WORKED THIS, AND THEN WE KIND OF LOOK TO SEE,
[00:10:01]
OKAY, WHO CAN WE AFFORD? AND WHAT'S THE GROUPING LOOK LIKE? SO, UM, THAT KIND OF GIVE YOU AN IDEA HOW WE, WE, I DO.MY, MY, WHEN I MENTIONED TO YOU ABOUT A CULTURE, SO I DIDN'T WANT US TO GO SEE HOW THEY RUN THEIR BUSINESS.
I SAID, LET'S GO SEE HOW THEY BRING IN THEIR BANDS AND THROUGH HOW THEY GET FUNDED.
BECAUSE TO ME, IT'S LIKE WHEN WE'RE A LARGER CITY AND THEY KEEP ON HAVING THESE CONCERTS, THAT THEY BRING BIG, BIG BANDS.
I WANT TO FIND OUT HOW THEY, HOW ARE THEY GETTING PAID FOR, AND THE EDC, MAYBE THE TIME MAYBE WE CAN GET TO HELP US OUT IN ONE OF THESE BANDS.
UM, AND THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT THAT YOU ASKED.
HERE'S WHAT I I'M FAMILIAR WITH THE TEXAS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACT.
AND I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY MADE THE DETERMINATION, SO, OH, OKAY.
WELL, MY QUESTION WAS MORE IN REFERENCE TO, UM, AND NOW I SEE IT HERE.
YOU PRESENTED, UH, FOR APPROVAL, UH, ONE BAND OR ONE ARTIST.
I, I THINK, UH, I WOULD WANT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ANY OTHER POSSIBLE ARTISTS THAT, UH, WE WOULD CONSIDER.
AND, UH, I KNOW YOUR TIME IS, UH, LIMITED, OR UNLESS YOU HAVE IT HERE, YOU CAN SHARE IT WITH US.
AND IF IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE, YEAH, WE DIDN'T PUT A NAME, BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY PROVIDE YOU THOSE NAMES.
AND I THOUGHT WE WOULD HAVE THAT HERE.
UM, AND THE REASON BEING IS THEY'RE HIGHER.
THEY, UH, IF NOT, WE WOULD HAVE TO START LOOKING AT ANOTHER DATE.
THESE DATES WERE CLOSING IN FAST, ALREADY, UH, SPRAYING.
EVERYBODY'S GOT, YOU KNOW, KEVIN FEVER, THEY WANT TO GET OUT AND OUT AND ABOUT.
SO, UH, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.
SO WE HAVE, WELL, WE WON'T GO THERE IF NOBODY ELSE IS AVAILABLE.
I MEAN, ON THE 14TH OF MAY AT, DO YOU KNOW THAT THE OTHER ARTISTS ARE NOT FOR THE 14TH? NO, BUT WE CAN SET THE DOLLAR AMOUNT AND WE CAN GIVE YOU THE NAMES AND YOU CAN GO AFTER AS WELL.
AND THAT WAS PART OF THE REASON WE DIDN'T PUT A NAME.
AND THE REASON BEING IS TO GIVE PUBLIC NOTICE.
SO IT WOULD GO AT THE NEXT MEETING.
WE WOULD HAVE TO JUST, WE CAN DISCUSS THOSE NAMES IN FALL BALL.
UH DIDN'T YOU SEND US, UH, SOMETHING ON THE OPTICS OF A GROUP OF PEOPLE.
WE GET LINEUP, THE LINEUP YOU GAVE US A THREE, THREE GROUPS.
YES, WE DO HAVE, UM, BUCK AND CRAZY AS AN OPENER WHISKEY D THE LAST BUNDLE LITTLES AND KEVIN FOWLER WAS ONE OPTION.
AND WE DO HAVE ANOTHER OPTION, MADELINE VICTORIA BOOK AND CRAZY WHISKEY D AND BOBBY BELIEVABLE.
WHO'S THE HEADLINER ON THAT, ON THE LINEUP.
DOES HE AVAILABLE ON THE 14TH, BUT ISN'T IT A COUNTRY-WESTERN THE HOG WADDLE IS COUNTRY AND A LITTLE BIT OF THE HANDLE.
I KNOW THAT THE OPENING NEXT, I KNOW THAT WE GET ANYBODY THAT CAN HELP US OUT OR ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO STAGE FOR A REASONABLE PRICE.
CAN, CAN WE TABLE THIS ITEM AND COME BACK TO ENTER THROUGH THE DAY SO WE CAN CONTINUE IF THEY'RE GETTING A COPY OR WHAT ARE WE DOING? I THINK SO IF WE CAN DO THAT, UH, I'D LIKE MORE DETAILS AS FAR AS WHO YOUR HEADLINERS ARE THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE 14TH.
I MEAN, I KNOW TIME'S LIMITED.
UM, AND, UH, THAT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST CONSTRAINTS RIGHT NOW IN MAKING DECISIONS.
UM, BUT WE WOULD LIKE, UH, I I'VE CERTAINLY BELIEVE THAT WE WOULD WANT, UM, MORE DETAILS ABOUT WHO'S AVAILABLE AT WHAT PRICE, AND IF WE CAN AFFORD IT ONCE THE LAST DATE OR THE YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE CHEM FOLLOWING WE, WE SAID WE WOULD HOLD IT THROUGH TODAY.
CAUSE THEY'VE ALREADY COMMITTED LAST WEEK TO HOLD IT THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING.
SO, UH, UM, CAN WE DO STUDIES ON HIM, LIKE ON OTHER EVENTS, ON HOW MUCH PEOPLE THAT YOU BRING IN, YOU'RE NOT IN YOUR HEAD.
CAN I HELP, CAN YOU HELP EXPLAIN THAT PLEASE? UH, PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR.
KEVIN PARKER IS ONE OF THE ONES WHO DRAWS THE MOST.
UH, GROUTS HERE IN THE VALLEY.
HE'S A VERY POPULAR DOWN HERE.
UH, MOST OF THE FESTIVALS, UH, WE DID SOME RESEARCH, UH, SO FOOTAGE OF THOSE CONCERTS AND IT WAS PACKED.
SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT HE IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST, BIGGEST BRAS HERE IN THE VALLEY CROWD DRAWERS HERE IN THE VALLEY.
I GET A NOD FROM ONE OF THE SPECTATORS OR ONE OF THE AUDIENCES.
WHAT, IS THERE GOING TO BE A CHARGE AT THE, AT THE GATE? YES, YES, SIR.
I THINK THIS WEEKEND'S EVENT WAS 20, $25 WE'RE CHARGING.
SO WE WOULD REALLY, I MEAN, WOULD THAT LOWER THE PRICE? UH, WE, WE CAN DRAW A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE AND THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING
[00:15:01]
FOR, WHO WE CAN GET TO DRAW THE CROWDS.AND I, AND AGAIN, UH, HE'S, UH, HE'S, HE'S DOWN HERE OFTEN BECAUSE HE DRAWS.
WELL, IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT, UH, YOU'VE ALREADY STUDIED AND YOU'RE BACKING THIS UP, UH, OKAY.
I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE, UH, THE LINEUP, UH, WITH KEVIN FOWLER.
I GOT A MOTION BY, UH, THAT WAS, I GOT A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER GARCIA A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER.
WE HAVE FRANCO WHO, UM, PROCEED WITH THIS, UH, ALL IN FAVOR.
[9. Consideration and possible action to approve the purchase and installation of a 7.5- ton Ruud Condenser Unit and Air Handler and a 5-ton Ruud Condenser Unit and Air Handler from Action Aire for the Azteca Building in the total amount of $14,868.00. ]
NINE CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE AND PURCHASE THE INSTALLATION OF US.7.5 TON ROUTER, A, UH, CONDENSER UNIT AND AIR HANDLER.
AND IF I TON THE RUDER CONDITIONER UNIT AND AIR HUNTER FROM ACTION AIR FOR THE STICK OF BUILDING IN THEIR MOUTH, A TOTAL AMOUNT OF $14,868.
AND MR. ROMANDO, THESE PERCENTAGES AGAIN FOR THE RECORD, THE MODEL THAT HE HAS PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY OF SAN BENITO, THESE ARE THE TWO UNITS THAT WE NEED TO REPLACE THE BROKEN ONES THAT SERVICE THE BOTTOM FLOOR AT THE STICK OF BUILDING, WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL.
SO THE OLD ONES A BROKEN, YEAH, THERE'S ONE THAT IT'S ON ITS LAST LEG, BUT IT WON'T LAST MORE THAN SIX MONTHS.
WE COULD PUTTING A FREON INTUIT.
AND NOW THE JUGGLE FOR IS HOVERING AROUND $700, $800.
IT USED TO BE $300, SIX MONTHS AGO.
AND THERE'S ONE FOR EACH FLOOR, CORRECT? THAT THERE'S TWO UNITS FOR THAT BOTTOM FLOOR IN ONE FOR THE SECOND FLOOR.
THERE'S THE THIRD FLOOR THERE.
YA, UH, THAT ONE, UH, THAT ONE THAT HAS NOTHING, IF THAT WAS HIS STORE STORAGE AREA ON TOP.
NOW RIGHT NOW IS WHAT HE'S SAYING.
THOSE FOUR ROOF MOUNT, UH, ROOF MOUNTED UNIT.
UM, THIS ONE, WHAT LEE'S, WHAT HE'S SAYING IS, IS TO GET THE FIRST ONE, BECAUSE THE FIRST FLOOR IS THE ONE THAT WAS ALWAYS BEEN UTILIZED BY THE HEAD START PROGRAM.
SO, UH, TO GET THAT GOING BEFORE WE LOSE IT, CAUSE AT LEAST IT'S STILL THE MOST USABLE SPACE THE OTHERS HAVE.
HAVEN'T BEEN USED IN A LONG TIME.
THEY WILL, BUT THESE UNITS WILL NO LONGER BE ROOF MOUNTED.
ONE THEY'RE COSTLY, THE CRANES MEDIUM SERVICE.
SO THERE'LL BE A MOUNTED FLOOR OR SOMETHING CLOSER TO THE GROUND.
AND THEN, UH, WE'LL RE RUN NEW, UH, HVC AIR VENTS TO THAT.
SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE COMPLICATED, BUT BEFORE WE LOSE IT, AND WHILE WE'RE GOING THROUGH AND GETTING BIDS TO, TO DO SOME OF THE PAINTING, SOME OF THE, UH, UH, REMOVAL OF THE TOWEL THAT'S IN THERE, PLEASE REMOVE THE CARPET AND WE'RE NOT TOUCHING THE IT'S THE FLOORING BECAUSE OF ASBESTOS.
WE'RE LOOKING AT CERAMIC, WE'RE LOOKING AT CARPETING HOW TO MAKE THAT TRANSITION BEST.
UH, SO ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE BEING PUT IN.
IT IT'S VERY, UH, CONTRACTORS, AREN'T BIDDING, BUT WE DON'T WANT TO THIS LAST UNIT, THE ONLY ONE THAT'S REALLY NEEDED FOR THAT FIRST FLOOR TO COMPLETELY GO OUT.
SO WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD AND REPLACE THAT.
OKAY, I'M ON, WHAT IS THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE PROPERTY OF THE BUILDING? WINDSOR? WHAT IS THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE BUILDING? I DON'T HAVE A VESSEL THAT KIND OF GIVES US AN IDEA OF IS THE TONNAGE APPROPRIATELY.
UM, THE, THE CONTRACTORS WENT IN THERE, TOOK A MEASUREMENT OF THE BUILDING.
SO EVERYTHING IS, YEAH, EVERYTHING IS DONE ACCORDING TO A SQUARE FOOT, THE BUILDING, BECAUSE IF NOT, YOU HAVE A MOISTURE PROBLEMS, OTHER ISSUES YOU HAVE TROUBLE WITH, UNDER POWER.
YOU WON'T CALL IT IN HIS TOO MUCH.
HOW, HOW LONG, UH, HOW LONG DID THE OLD UNITS LAST? I, THE ONE THAT DIED, DIED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, THE ONE THAT'S STILL RUNNING, LIKE I SAID, IT'S, IT'S CATHOLICS EVERYWHERE.
UH, WE WOULD HAVE TO PRETTY MUCH REPLACE THE ENTIRE CONDENSER.
DO WE KNOW THEY TYPICALLY HAVE THE MANUFACTURER DATE ON THERE? IT KIND OF TELLS US HOW LONG IT'S LASTED THERE.
DO WE KNOW THAT'S AT LEAST A GOOD 10 YEARS OLD, BUT THE MANUFACTURER DATE SHOULD BE STAMPED ON THE MACHINE, RIGHT? YEAH.
I DON'T HAVE ANY, WE DON'T KNOW.
THIS IS, THIS IS A FACILITY THAT WE'RE, SO IT HASN'T BEEN INSTALLED.
WHAT? CAROL JUST SAID, THAT ONE HASN'T BEEN EXACTLY.
IT COULD HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED, UH, THREE YEARS AGO, BUT HE WAS SITTING ON THE WAREHOUSE, BUT THIS IS A FACILITY THAT WE'RE TRYING TO UPDATE.
SO WE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT WITH THE LOCAL NON-PROFITS.
[00:20:01]
IS IT THAT WE NEED TO GET IT UP TO GRADE OR TO PAR SO THEY CAN, PEOPLE CAN MOVE INTO SOMETHING.I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.
YOU STILL HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS.
I APPRECIATE THE DIFFERENT QUOTES, BUT IF THE OLD ONES DIDN'T LAST AND WE'RE LOOKING TO SPEND 15,000 HERE ON SOME NEW ONES WHERE THE NEW ONE'S GOING TO GO, ARE THEY GOING TO BE, UM, ARE WE GOING TO BUILD A SHELTER FOR THEM TO PROTECT THEM? DID THE OTHER ONES BREAK? BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T IN USE BECAUSE IT'S JUST WEAR AND TEAR.
IT'S JUST DISCERNED MECHANICAL UNITS.
IT'S JUST, I'M NOT SAYING THAT WE'RE GOING TO STORE, I'M JUST SAYING, DO WE NEED TO HAVE A PROTECTIVE COVER OVER THE NEW ONES? DID THE OLD ONES BREAK BECAUSE OF AGE OR WEATHER NON IN AN AC UNIT, SIR, OR CONDENSER? WHAT HAPPENS? PUTTING OUT HOT AIR AND THE EXCHANGE OF HEAT? IF YOU DON'T CLOSE IT, YOU, YOU, YOU CANNOT DO THE CONDENSATION.
SO IT IT'S A DETRIMENTAL, NOT, NOT SAYING IN CLOSE.
IT JUST, THEY PUT A LITTLE ROOF OVER THEM SOMETIMES TO PROTECT THEM.
I'M JUST, I'M JUST LOOKING TO THAT.
AND, UM, THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO COME IN ARE GOING TO BE RESEALING, THE METAL DUCT WORK.
IS THERE ALREADY EXISTING DUCT WORK? YES.
AND IS IT, ARE WE ABLE TO USE IT? YES.
THEY, THEY WOULD HAVE LOOKED AT THAT TOO.
THE WAY THEY'RE JUST GOING TO REPAIR WHATEVER IT'S GOT HOLES IN IT.
IS THERE A VARIANCE THAT THEY CAN CHANGE THE PRICING BASED ON HOW MUCH DUCT WORK NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED OR THEY, THEY HAVE A CLEAR VISUAL OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO PICK.
YOUR UNITS ARE EXPENSIVE AND THEY'RE GETTING MORE EXPENSIVE BY THE DAY.
I JUST DON'T WANT TO INSTALL THEM, GET THEM INSTALLED AND THEN BUILDING STAY CITY.
SO I, AS LONG AS WE HAVE A PROJECT READY FOR IT TO GO, THESE ARE THE BUILDINGS THAT OCCUPIED, BUT EXACTLY.
I MEAN, WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN THESE ASSETS.
I HAD A MOTION BY A MIRACLE, TIM.
SECOND BY COMMISSIONER RIO BRONCO ALL IN FAVOR.
[10. Discussion and status update on Road Maintenance and Road Rehabilitation Tasks]
NUMBER 10, DISCUSSION AND STATUS UPDATE ON ROAD MAINTENANCE AND BOTH THE REHAB REHABILITATION TASKS AND MR. DAVID VASQUEZ PERCENTAGE.MAYOR MAYOR PRO TEM COMMISSIONERS FOR THE RECORD, DAVID VASQUEZ PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR HERE, UH, FOR THE ITEM OF 10, WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS, UH, AND STATUS UPDATE ON THE ROAD.
I'VE GIVEN YOU A WORD DOCUMENT.
AND ON THE FIRST PAGE IS, IS, UM, OF THE FIRST PAGE OF THE DOCUMENT TALKS ABOUT THE MARCH 16TH, 2021.
WHEN THE COMMISSIONERS APPROVED A LIST OF 12TH STREETS TO BE A REHAB AS PART OF THE OVERLAY.
AND THE FIRST PAGE IS BASICALLY ALL THE STREETS THAT HAVE BEEN COMPLETED TO DATE.
AND IF YOU TURN TO THE SECOND PAGE, UH, THAT'S CURRENTLY THE STATUS WE TALKED ABOUT, UH, FROM THE LAST MEETING THAT WE WOULD MAKE, YOU ASKED ME TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DID NOT FORGET ABOUT WINCE SOUTH MCCULLOUGH AND MAY.
AND SO I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW, THIS IS THAT UPDATE THAT WE'RE WE'RE AT STARTING WITH WENTZ.
UH, ONE OF THE THINGS IS, UH, IT WAS A SEVEN BLOCKS AS I'VE GOTTEN HERE AND WORKING WITH STAFF WANTING TO UPDATE YOU, THERE WAS A LOT OF CURB, AS YOU REMEMBER, HOPEFULLY IF NOT, I'LL REMIND YOU ABOUT TWO MONTHS APPROXIMATELY TO REHAB THOSE 1500 FEET OF LINEAR, UH, FOR THE CARBON GUTTER TYPE.
AND WE'RE APPROXIMATELY COMPLETED ABOUT 1300 AS OF TODAY.
UH, WE'RE LOOKING TO HOPEFULLY FINISH THE LAST 200 BY THIS FRIDAY WHERE THERE'S BEEN GREAT LATELY.
UH, THE OTHER THING WE'RE AT IS, UH, ANTICIPATING, UH, OVERLAID TO START THAT PROJECT IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER THE CARIBBEAN.
SO THAT'D BE TWO AND A HALF WEEKS FROM NOW, APPROXIMATELY OF COURSE, WEATHER PERMITTING.
SO FATHER, WHETHER IT LOOKS GOOD THIS WEEK AND NEXT WEEK, UNLESS IT CHANGES.
THE OTHER THING IS, UH, WANTING TO CLARIFY IN THERE ON THE PROJECT IS I CAME HERE, UM, HERE RECENTLY, UH, THE, MY UNDERSTANDING IT WAS SUPPOSED TO AFTER LOOKING AT IT, UH, IT WAS BROUGHT UP TO THE CITY MANAGER THAT WE PROBABLY SHOULD INCLUDE TWO BLOCKS.
UH, SO THAT WOULD ACTUALLY CHANGE THE SCOPE TO NINE.
UH, IF YOU WANT TO DISCUSS THAT HERE, IF NOT, I WOULD BE COMING BACK TO YOU ALL AT THE NEXT COMMISSIONER'S MEETING TO SEE IF WE CAN, UH, ADD THOSE TWO BLOCKS OFFICIALLY WITH AN APPROXIMATE COST OF $23,000.
UH, SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT CLARIFICATION ON WINCE.
SO THAT WOULD BE ONE DISCUSSION IF YOU WANT TO HAVE, BASED ON WHAT I JUST TALKED ABOUT, UH, IS THAT YOUR OWN ASSESSMENT OF A, THAT, UH, YES, WE WENT AND LOOKED AT IT BASED ON THE FACT
[00:25:01]
THAT IT WAS GIVEN INPUT, THAT THERE WAS THE EXTRA TWO BLOCKS WERE NEEDED AND IT IS NEEDED, BUT IT WASN'T PART OF THE INITIAL FIRST, UH, UH, BACK IN 20, UH, 21, MARCH 16TH, 2021.SO IT WAS KIND OF LIKE WHAT WE HAD WITH BOWIE THAT WE, IT WAS LIKE, YOU'RE ALREADY THERE ONE EXTRA BLOCK THAT STREET REALLY NEEDS IT.
LET'S DO IT, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.
SO THAT'S KIND OF THE DISCUSSION HERE.
WE'RE BACK AT AGAIN, WE'RE THERE, WE'RE GOING TO BE THERE.
SO WE WANT TO OPEN THAT UP FOR DISCUSSION TO, UH, IF NOT, I'LL, I'LL BRING IT UP AGAIN TO, FOR CONSIDERATION ON THE DAY AND WE GIVE THE CITY MANAGER OR, OR YOU THE AUTHORITY TO, TO DO THAT CHANGE IF YOU GUYS WERE ALREADY THERE.
WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT WAS THE DISCUSSION ON, ON THAT STREET IN PARTICULAR? WAS IT JUST FOR THAT STREET OR THAT WAS THE ONLY, IT WAS ALWAYS STRAIGHT LIKE A ONE BLOCK AREA.
BASED ON THE OBSERVATION IS GOING TO NEED EXTENSIVE WORK.
THAT'S NOT SOMETHING WE'RE JUST GOING TO DO.
AN OVERLAY WILL PROBABLY BE IN THERE SEVERAL WEEKS.
SO WHEN ONE OF YOU MAKES A RECOMMENDATION TO ME, WE LOOK AT IT, WE, AND WE START HAVING THOSE DISCUSSIONS AND SEVERAL CASES, WE BRING IT BY IF IT WAS JUST A TYPICAL POINT, REPAIR, SOMETHING THAT JUST OVERLAY.
BUT WHEN WE START TAKING OUT, UH, CURBS AND GUTTERS, AGAIN, WE TRY TO STAY VERY FOCUSED ON THAT LIST.
AND IF IT'S SOMETHING WITH SOME LATITUDE, AN OVERLAY THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE CURVES OR STUFF LIKE THAT.
BUT, UH, AS WE KNOW THAT, THAT ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, WHETHER THERE'S WINSTON, ALL THE OTHER ROADWAYS, THEY'RE ALL IN NEED, BUT IT'S TWO MORE BLOCKS.
WE'RE NOT GONNA, I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE THAT DECISION EITHER TO MY STAFF, BUT WHAT ARE THE TWO ADDITIONAL BLOCKS? UH, WHAT, WHAT ADDITIONAL BLOCKS ARE YOU ADDING? IS IT IN BETWEEN THE LINEAR FOOT OR IS IT AT ONE END OF THE WINCE? UH, WHICH END IS IT? THE END WAS LEFT OUT BECAUSE I WROTE THE STREET NAMES AND I IT'S, IT'S UP TO SOMEBODY AND I'M KIND OF STILL NEW WITH THE STREET NAMES.
SO HELP ME BE PATIENT WITH ME ON THAT.
AND THEN, AND THEN WENT ALL THE WAY TO SAN PATRICIO.
I THINK THOSE, THOSE ARE TWO STREETS IT'S BEYOND TO SOMEBODY.
AND THERE'S ONE MORE AND I DON'T KNOW THE NAME SO , SO YOU'RE NOT, YOU'RE NOT GOING CAUSE THERE IS NEW CONSTRUCTION THERE.
WE'RE NOT OVERLAYING THE NEW, THE NEW CONSTRUCTION AREA.
IT'S GOING TO STOP AT ONE DAY.
THERE'S A NEWER HOMES, I GUESS, UH, RIGHT IN THE INTERSECTION OF WHERE THE CHURCHES ARE YOU GOING TO STOP THERE, THERE TO SAM HOUSTON WENT THE STREET.
I THINK THAT'S WHAT, THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT.
CAUSE THE NEW SUBDIVISIONS, THE ROADS HAVEN'T BEEN THERE THAT LONG, THAT LONG, THEY HAVE NOT.
I THINK THAT SINCE WE'RE ALREADY, THERE MIGHT AS WELL MANAGED TO FINISH THEM OFF BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO GO SEVEN BLOCKS WITH BRAND NEW STREET AND THEN GO INTO THE COLLEGIATE PIT AGAIN.
AND I THINK LET'S JUST GO AHEAD AND FINISH THEM OFF.
AND I'M GLAD THAT YOU GUYS BROUGHT BACK TO US.
SO THAT WAS A DISCUSSION TO BRING THAT BACK TO Y'ALL FOR LIKE THE CITY MANAGER MENTIONED ON BOWIE, WE MENTIONED THAT LAST TIME AND YOU ALL VOTED ON THAT SPECIFICALLY.
SO THIS WAS B FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AGAIN, BUT THAT ALSO COMES WITH A DOLLAR AMOUNT OF $23,000.
IF I NEED TO COME BACK AGAIN, THAT'S UP TO Y'ALL DECIDED.
AND THAT'S WHY I ASKED YOU WHAT WAS YOUR ASSESSMENT ON THAT? BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO DEVIATE TOO MUCH FROM THE LIST WE HAVEN'T LIST.
SO WE WANT TO STAY ON TARGET WITH THAT LIST.
BUT IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE SEEN OUT THERE THAT NEEDS OUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION WHILE I APPRECIATE THAT, BECAUSE DEFINITELY WE CAN TAKE CARE OF THE SITUATION NOW INSTEAD OF BRINGING IT BACK NEXT YEAR OR THE YEAR AFTER, YOU KNOW, UH, WE'RE ALREADY IN THE ADDRESSED SITUATION NOW I AGREE.
IT MAKES NO SENSE TO START OFF THERE.
TAKE ALL THE EQUIPMENT THERE THAT MOVE TO THE SIDE OR THE OTHER LOCATION, THEN COME BACK FOR TWO MORE.
I AGREE MR. HASKELL, UH, MAYOR QUESTION ON THE THIRD PAGE, YOU'LL SEE THAT WE'RE MAKING SOME POINT REPAIRS.
UH, MR. VASQUEZ WAS GOING TO GO OVER THERE AND NOT ONLY THAT, UH, MAYOR PUT TIMOTHY AT THE LAST MEETING, YOU MENTIONED STOOKEY PARK.
WE'RE LOOKING AT TRYING TO GET MAILINGS.
WE PUT FELICIA AT THE, SOME OF THE OLD CEMETERY ON THE BACKSIDE, UH, AND BECAUSE IT WAS JUST GETTING BREADED UP WITH ALL THE RAIN.
UM, TODAY I GOT A CALL FROM, UH, MS. ROSEANNE, MIRALIS AGAIN ON 11TH STREET NEAR THE ONE HE REPORTED TO YOU.
IT'S MY THIRD TIME TO GET THE SAME CALL.
UH, I WANT TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR WHEN WE GET A COUGH FROM ANY CITIZEN, HE GOES INTO THE QUEUE.
HE INTO THAT QUEUE, THE WEIGHT COMES IN AND WE, BECAUSE WE'VE GOT PUDDLES EVERYWHERE, RIGHT? IT'S GOTTA BE REALLY, REALLY DANGEROUS FOR US TO GO.
YEAH, WE GOT TO STOP WHAT WE'RE DOING BECAUSE IT IS, IT'S A POTHOLE.
THAT'S JUST GETTING, WE'VE GOT JOINS ROAD OVER OFF AT 7 30, 2 BEHIND THE LIAO ELEMENTARY THAT THE FARMERS STILL USE THAT ROADWAY.
IT'S A THOUSAND LINEAR FEET AND NEEDS MILLINGS.
[00:30:01]
RIGHT? SO WE ARE IN MR. VASQUEZ.UM, ISN'T COMMUNICATION WITH CAMERON COUNTY'S TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERS.
HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET THE MILLINGS.
THEY'RE CLAIMING THAT TEXTILE PROVIDES IT TO THE COUNTY TO WORK WITH THE CITIES.
I DON'T KNOW WHY OUR CAMERA COUNTY OFFICIALS AREN'T HELPING US.
HOPEFULLY WE CAN DO THAT SO WE CAN ADDRESS TO KEEP PARKING OTHER AREAS.
SO, UH, BUT IT DOES SLOW US DOWN.
WHEN WE, WHEN WE'VE GOT, UH, THE POINT REPAIR, I RECALL FRONT OF THE HOME DRIVEWAY, IT'S LOW.
I MEAN, POOR LADY CAN'T COME OUT AND GET YOUR TRASHCAN.
UH, IF I RECALL FOUR OF Y'ALL, YOU STOPPED AND IT MADE FACEBOOK IT'S APPOINTMENT REPAIR.
AND WITHOUT TOUCHING THE CURB AND GUTTER IT'S REPAIRABLE BECAUSE OF THE REST OF THE STREET, IT'S ACTUALLY IN GOOD SHAPE.
BUT THAT IS NOW AGAIN, THAT'S NOT A POTHOLE.
THAT'S A POINT REPAIR WHEN WE'RE IN THAT AREA.
OR AS SOON AS YOU CAN GET INTO IT, THAT TAKES PRECEDENCE OVER SOME OTHERS BECAUSE WE KNOW WHAT WE'VE GOT AND WE GOT TO CUT OUT.
WE DON'T STOP, UH, ONE PLACES TO GO TO ANOTHER PLACE.
SO, UH, I JUST WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN I GET THESE CALLS, THIS IS HOW WE LOOK AT THEM.
AND SOME OF YOU WILL REACH OUT TO ME SAID, HEY, I GOT TWO MORE STREETS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT OKAY WE DO, BUT WE DON'T DEVIATE.
YOU MAY HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH MR. VASQUEZ AND HE FRUSTRATES YOU BECAUSE HE'S GONNA SAY, I'M GONNA TALK TO THE CITY MANAGER.
WE ARE NOT DEVIATING FROM THE LIST UNLESS I MAKE A DETERMINATION YET WE'RE GOING TO DO IT OR TWO, WE'RE GONNA PRESENT IT BACK TO THE CITY COMMISSION.
IT IS NOT WITHIN THE PARAMETERS.
THE CITY COMMISSION WILL ALLOW ME TO OPERATE IT, BUT I, AND I GET THAT.
I EXPLAINED THAT TO HIM SMARTER.
AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS BECAUSE NOT ONLY YOU GET THE PHONE CALLS, I'M SURE WE ALL GET THE PHONE CALLS CONSTANTLY.
AND THAT'S WHY I, I BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD STAY ON TARGET.
BUT IF SOMETHING DOES ARISE, YES, I THINK THE COMMISSION SHOULD KNOW SO THAT WE CAN ALLOW TO DEVIATE OR NOT FROM THAT LIST.
SO YOU'LL SEE CREWS WORKING THIS WEEKEND.
WE KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT HAVING ANY RATE RE UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
WE CAN'T FORECAST TWO WEEKS OUT.
IF, BECAUSE NOT EVEN THE WEATHERMAN CAN DO A GOOD JOB, BUT WE DO.
IF WE CAN WORK OUR EMPLOYEES, WE WILL.
AND WE TRY TO GET HIM IN THIS LAST WEEKEND WAS, WAS A LOSS FOR US, RIGHT? SO, UH, YOU KNOW, WHEN I GET A RE UH, AN INQUIRY, WHERE ARE WE? WELL, THE WEATHER IS NOT COOPERATING.
AND THE LITTLE RAIN IS TEARING UP OUR ROADS AND PUTTING IN A POTHOLE.
WE'RE SPINNING OUR WHEELS AND WASTING TIME.
ONE OF THOSE IS A YOAST FRUIT.
THE DITCH IS STILL THIS STREET CREWS WE'RE GOING TO, WE'RE GOING TO SCRAPE IT.
THERE'S NOT VERY MANY HOMES ON OTIOSE BETWEEN SAM HOUSTON AND 7 32 A SHARE ROAD, OR THAT PORTION IN OUR CITY LIMITS, BUT WE CAN SCRAPE IT.
WE CAN GET THE WATER OFF THE ROADWAY WE CAN PUT IN BILLINGS TIME, GIVE IT THE BASIS AND HORRIBLE.
BUT THEN WE'RE GETTING COMPLAINTS FROM THE RESIDENTS ON, ON, UM, WHAT DOES THAT MCCULLOUGH RIGHT OUTSIDE FROM THE CITY? YOU GO, HEY, THE COUNTY THAT THERE'S OURS ISN'T AND IT'S GETTING BAD AND WE GET IT.
SO AS PART OF THOSE THINGS, NO CURB, NO GUTTER.
SO WHEN YOU SEE US DOING SOME OF THAT, IT'S BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET IN.
LET ME ASK YOU, NOW THAT YOU MENTIONED THE COUNTY, UH, BECAUSE I'VE SEEN NOT ONLY THAT AREA, BUT OVER HERE, PAST THE LA QUINTA ELEMENTARY, UH, I BELIEVE IT'S KILGORE ROAD OR RAMSEY ROAD.
UH, I'M NOT SURE WHICH ONE, BUT IF YOU DRIVE UP THERE, YOU'LL SEE, UH, MOST OF THE ROAD IS PAVED, BUT RIGHT WHEN IT GETS TO SAM HOUSTON, THERE'S, I WANT TO SAY MAYBE 25, 50 FEET THAT IS STILL FULL OF POTHOLES.
SO IS THERE A LAW OUT THERE THAT RESTRICTS THE COUNTY FROM PAVING THE WHOLE ROAD? OR WHY DON'T THEY DO IT? I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY PAID, UM, TWO MILES OR MAYBE A MILE OR MORE.
IS THERE A LAW THAT PREVENTS THE COUNTY FROM DOING THAT? I ASSURE YOU THERE'S NO LAW, IT'S FOLLOWING POLICY, BUT HERE'S THE THING.
THE COUNTY DOESN'T HESITATE TAKING OUR CITIZENS COUNTY, TEXAS.
WELL, I KNOW THAT, I THINK WE ALL KNOW THAT, BUT I'M WONDERING, IS THERE A LAW IN PLACE THAT PREVENTS THE COUNTY OR LIMITS THE COUNTY FROM ADDRESSING ISSUES RIGHT NEXT TO WHERE THEY'VE PAID COMMISSIONER? THERE'S LIKE 5 50, 50 FEET.
TYPICALLY THE COUNTY HAS MANY INNER LOCAL AGREEMENTS WITH SMALL CITIES.
I PAY THIS PORTION, YOU PAY THIS PORTION OR WE'LL TAKE OVER THE MANAGEMENT AND YOU PAY FOR THE SUPPLIES.
AND THAT WAS PROPOSED TO US A WHILE BACK FOR ONE OF THE ROWS, WHICH WAS TURNED.
I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT THAT MEANT TAKING MONEY FROM OUR MONEY.
A LOT OF SMALL CITIES TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT, THOSE PROPOSALS, THOSE INNER LOCAL AGREEMENTS.
IF YOU GO ON THE COUNTY WEBSITE, THERE'S WELL OVER 10, 15, 20, THAT THESE CITIES ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF.
[00:35:01]
TRUST ME, THEY CAME TO ME ONCE AND WE TURNED IT DOWN.I TURNED IT DOWN BECAUSE I'VE PICKED THE PROPOSAL, UH, WAS SUBJECTED TO TAKING MONEY FROM OUR MONEY THAT WAS ALREADY COMMITTED TO OUR ROADWAYS HERE IN TOWN.
AND I COULDN'T DO THAT AT THAT MOMENT, BUT WE CAN STUDY THAT AGAIN AND WE CAN GET IT TO DISCUSSIONS WITH THE COUNTY.
I'D LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HOW THEY CAN HELP US PAVE THOSE AREAS.
SO WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST IS THAT MAYBE THE, UH, THE MEDIA CAN REACH OUT AND PUT ON THE FACEBOOK, THE CITY, FACEBOOK, THE REPORTER CONCERN LINK THAT'S ON THE CITY WEBSITE THAT SAYS REPORT A POTHOLE.
AND THAT WAY CITIZENS KNOW WHERE TO CUE THEIR REQUESTS.
AND THAT WAY THEY'RE LISTED IN SOME TYPE OF QUEUE, NOT JUST, I TOLD SOMEBODY AT THE FRONT DESK AND THEY TRANSFERRED ME TO THIS DEPARTMENT AND THAT DEPARTMENT'S VOICEMAILS WERE FULL.
I THINK YOU HAVE THAT, THAT HAPPENS BECAUSE SOMETIMES I CALL THE DIRECT LINE AND I GET FORWARDED TO A DEPARTMENT AND A VOICEMAIL BOX IS FULL.
SO IF THE REPORT A POTHOLE CONCERN LINK WAS AT ACTIVE AND IT'S QUEUED, AND THAT WAY WE CAN PRIORITIZE LATER AND THEN HAND IT OVER TO THE MINISTER OF JUSTICE.
UH, YEAH, THERE'S A, YOU KNOW, A REPORT, A CONCERN BUTTON, WATER LEADS, ANIMAL CALLS, POTHOLES.
BUT I REMEMBER WHEN I CAME ON BOARD, IT WAS ACTUALLY INACTIVE FOR TWO YEARS.
WELL, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR LEGAL OR A COMMENT.
MARK, CAN YOU FIND OUT IF, IF PRECINCT THREE IS ALLOWED TO WORK, UH, WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS? YEAH.
I CAN TALK TO THEM AND SEE IF THERE'S A POSSIBILITY OF INVOLVING IF IT IS REQUIRED OR IF HE ABLE TO USE THE MONEY BECAUSE THE MONEY'S GONNA COME IN AT A PRECINCT THREE AS WELL.
SO HOW DOES PRECINCT ONE PRECINCT TWO? THERE ARE, THERE ARE IN THE BRONZEVILLE AREA WORK WITHIN THE CITY BECAUSE IT THERE'S NO OUTS.
THERE'S NO OUTSKIRTS OUT THERE.
TH WE NEED TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THAT LEGAL, UM, MR. SAUCY, IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE, I MEAN, APPRECIATE ONE, PUSHING THE NAIL ON THE HEAD WHEN YOU SAID, WELL, MAYBE YOU LOOK AT YOUR TAX BILLS, CAMERON COUNTY'S INCLUDE ON UP EVERYBODY'S TAX THE BEST GREEN CITY.
SO THAT'S WHY I'M WONDERING, IS THERE A PARTICULAR LAW OR RESTRICTION IN PLACE THAT PREVENTS THE COUNTY FROM, LET'S SAY LET'S BRING THEM IN ROADS TO DO A PRESENTATION ON WHAT THEY'VE DONE.
WHEN YOUR CITY STRAPPED FOR MONEY TO PAVE ROADS, I'M HERE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? LET ME, ONE GENTLEMEN, TALK TO HIM.
SO MARK'S, UH, BACK TO, UH, SO LIKE IF THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE IS PRECINCT ONE, PRECINCT TWO, THERE WENT WITHIN THE CITY OF BROWNSVILLE.
MY QUESTION IS HOW DO THEY WORK? THEY WORK TOGETHER.
DO THEY OVERLAY? DO THEY? YEAH, I'M NOT SURE.
AND I THINK IT WOULD DEPEND ON WHAT ROAD WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS, BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE THAT, I CAN LOOK INTO IT AND SEE WHAT THEY'RE DOING THERE AND SEE IF THERE'S A WAY THAT WE CAN ACCOMMODATE.
SO NOW LET'S GO BACK TO THE ITEM.
SO, UH, I'D LIKE TO CONTINUE IF POSSIBLE, UH, COMMISSIONERS, MAYOR PRO TEM WITH GO ONTO SOUTH MCCULLOUGH.
CAUSE THERE'S ALSO ANOTHER POSSIBLE ACTION IF YOU WANT, IS THAT WAY YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THAT TOO.
SO OFF, OFF OF THE SOUTH MCCULLOUGH STREET, WE HAD LOOKED AT INITIALLY BASED ON THE MARCH, UH, 2021 LIST, UH, AGAIN WITH SOME FROM THE SOUTH FRONTAGE ROAD, ALL THE WAY TO YOAST ROAD.
AND, UM, AND LOOKING AT THIS, UH, PROJECT, WE NOTICED THAT WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY WE SEE THE POSSIBLE ACTION TO, TO PROJECT IN THE YELLOW TALKS ABOUT GOING ALL THE WAY FROM YOAST TO THE CITY LIMITS, WHICH IS AT THE COUNTY LINE.
AND THAT'S LIKE FOUR BIG BLOCKS.
IT'S NOT THE LITTLE SMALLER BLOCKS, APPROXIMATELY ABOUT 1,240 SQUARE FEET.
AND THAT, AND THAT'S APPROXIMATE COST OF 30,000.
UM, THE RATIONALE IS TO, SINCE WE'RE ALREADY THERE PAVING ALL THE WAY FROM THE FRONTAGE ROAD, ALL THE WAY TO YOAST ON MCCULLOUGH, IT'S ALL GOING TO BE SMOOTH.
AND, AND NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN WE HAVE 1,240 FEET OF ROUGH ROAD.
AND LATELY THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF POTHOLE REPAIRS JUST IN THAT SECTION.
AND THEN AFTER THAT AT THE COUNTY LINE, OR AT THE END OF THE CITY LIMITS, YOU HAVE A SMOOTH ROAD.
SO THAT'S ANOTHER, WE'RE GOING TO BE THERE.
DO WE WANT TO CONSIDER DOING THAT? AND SO WE WANTED TO BRING THAT UP TO YOU ALL.
AND THEN OF COURSE THE LAST ONE IS MAY STREET.
WE LOOKED AT THAT, WE'RE STILL EVALUATING THAT ALL WE'VE DONE RIGHT THERE IS LOOKED AT THE FACT THAT WE NEED ABOUT 250 LINEAR FEET.
AND WE STILL NEED TO GO AHEAD AND OVERLAY, CONSTRUCT THAT.
AND THAT'S FOR THE PROJECTS ON THE OVERLAY.
[00:40:01]
I THINK, LIKE WE JUST MENTIONED ON YOURS, THE GEAR THAT'S IN BLOCKS OF BENNY STREET, AND THEN YOU GOT TWO MORE, DOES IT MAKE SENSE? SO THE SAME GOES WITH THE, IF YOU HAVE A GOOD STRETCH OF, OF WHERE THE COUNTY DID THEIR JOB AND WE HAVEN'T FINISHED OURS, OR WE HAVEN'T MET OUR NEXT POINT, THERE'S NO CARPET GUTTER THERE.SO THE DRAIN DITCHES IS GOING TO BE DONE FIRST BEFORE THE WE'RE BLADING DITCHES FIRST.
WE'VE GOT TO GET THE RUNOFF, CORRECT? YES.
WE NEED TO GET AWAY FROM THE STREETS HERE.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT MCCULLOUGH.
WE'LL CALL IT A HOT COLOR FROM THE EXPRESSWAY PRIORITY BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A LONG RUN AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THE WATER FLOWS EASTWARD TOWARD THE FIVE, 10 OR 7 32.
SO IF YOU LOOK COMMISSIONERS AND MAYOR, MAYOR PRO TEM, AS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT WE'RE UNDER ON THE SHOULDER SIDES, WE'RE LOOKING TO FILL THOSE UP TO WHEN WE DO THE OVERLAY, THE WATER WILL BE FLOWING OFF AT LEAST OFF THE STREET, AND IT IS STILL AT A GOOD ELEVATION.
SO LIKE THE CM JUST MENTIONED CITY MANAGER, A YOAST IS MORE IMPORTANT THAT WE GET THAT FLOW GOING FIRST.
SO WE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO DO THE BLADING BECAUSE WE WANT TO GO IN AND CONTINUE THAT, BUT WE COULD COME BACK TO THAT BASED ON WEATHER AND ALL THOSE THINGS.
I'M STILL KIND OF NEW TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND HOW WATER FLOWS AROUND HERE AND WORKING WITH THAT AS CLOSE AS WE CAN.
SO THAT THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE CONSIDERATION.
ALSO, SINCE WE MENTIONED ABOUT BEING OUT THERE.
SO THAT'S ON THE STREET PROJECTS, AS FAR AS THE OVERLAY THAT WOULD SUPPORT THAT.
AND SO THE NEXT THING IS JUST OVERALL OVERALL ROAD MAINTENANCE.
WE HAVE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF, UH, POINTING REPAIRED.
THE POINT OF REPAIRS WAS SUDDENLY MANAGER MENTIONED.
WE DID, UH, TWO AREAS RIGHT NOW, CURRENTLY CORNER OF LESBIAN SUKI THAT'S BEEN DONE.
AND ALSO THE CORNER OF TRAVIS AND SWANSON.
THAT'S BEEN AN IMPORTANT REPAIR.
AS FAR AS THE BLADING AND EXTRA OR A CURB IS JUST A CERTAIN SECTION THAT HAD A GOOD PORTION THAT, THAT THE AREA WAS REALLY LIKE ABOUT THIS SIZE OF JUST A LOT OF POTHOLES IN THIS.
LIKE THERE'S NO REASON TO CONTINUE JUST DOING POTHOLES.
IT WAS BETTER AS A POINT REPAIR FIX.
THE OTHER THING WAS DONE IS A, THE CEMETERY ON THE EAST SIDE, LIKE THE CITY MANAGER JUST MENTIONED BACK TOWARD THE BACKSIDE.
UH, THAT AREA WAS, UM, DILAPIDATED, AS YOU MAY SAY, WE HAD A LITTLE BIT MORE COLLEGIAL BASE ROLLED THAT AND PUT SOME MAILINGS AND ADDED SOME OIL MIXTURE WITH WATER TO GET IT ROLLED UP.
SO IT'S NOT A HIGH VOLUME ROAD.
IT'S NOT A HIGH SPEED ROAD, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE A MORE DURABLE.
MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IT HASN'T BEEN DONE IN OVER 15, 20 YEARS, PLUS I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT NUMBER ON THAT, BUT, UH, IT LOOKS REALLY NICE NOW.
SO I INVITE YOU ALL TO GO SEE THAT AS FAR AS POTHOLE REPAIRS, WE'RE LOOKING BETWEEN NOVEMBER, 2021 AND JUST THIS MONTH, FEBRUARY, 2022, HOW MUCH APPROXIMATELY COAL MIX WE'VE USED ABOUT 160 TONS, WHICH IS, THIS IS A GOOD AMOUNT.
AND WHEN WE'RE ON TARGET ON THAT, AND HOPEFULLY TO CONTINUE MORE AS LIKE THE CITY MANAGER MENTIONED, WE'RE GOING TO START LOOKING AT DOING SOME WEEKEND WORK.
SO YOU GET TO SEE SOME STAFF OUT THERE DOING SOME HOT HOLES ON THAT.
SO YOU MAY BE GETTING YOURSELVES COST TOO.
SO JUST ONE MAY MAKE YOU AWARE OF THAT.
UM, AS PART OF THE COLLEGIATE, ONE OF THE CONCERNS WE HAD SOME CALLS IS LIKE IT'S COLD, OR WHY ARE YOU PUTTING COLLEGIA IN IT'S AND NO COAL MIX ON TOP? WELL, SOMETIMES IF YOU KNOW, COLMEX IS PETROLEUM, IT'S GOING TO GET A LITTLE, WHAT YOU CALL A LITTLE BLOCK.
WHEN WE'VE HAD THE TEMPERATURES DOWN TO 37, 45, 50 IT'S BECOMES A LITTLE CHUNK, SO YOU CAN'T SPREAD IT OUT EVENLY.
SO, BUT WHEN THE, TO STILL COVER THE FACT THAT WE STILL NEED TO BUILD THE FOUNDATION OF THE POTHOLE, THERE'S COLLEGIATE BEING PUT.
AND ALSO IF IT'S A CONCERN THAT IT'S A BIGGER A POTHOLDER OR SOMETHING THAT IT'S THE, TO BUILD THE FOUNDATION, WE STILL ADD COLLEGIATE TO US, BUT WE WILL COME BACK TO THOSE.
IT'S NOT LIKE THE COLLEGIATE TO FIX THEM.
IT'S BASED ON WEATHER AND WE'RE IN THE WINTER, A WINTER WEATHER SEASON.
SO I JUST WANT TO COMMUNICATE THAT TO YOU ALSO, WHEN YOU GET THOSE CALLS, WHY THEY ONLY PUT IN COLLEGIAL IN THAT BASE, THAT WE'VE GETTING A LOT OF THOSE LATELY, SO WANT TO HELP YOU ALL HELP US THAT WE'RE OUT THERE AND WE'RE LOOKING AT IT.
THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE JUST DOING.
DAVID, CAN WE GO BACK TO ANYTHING BUT YOAST ROAD? YES, SIR.
YOU WERE DESCRIBING HOW, WHAT, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM THERE, BECAUSE YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE, UH, THE STREET ITSELF, THE SURFACE, OR, OR DO YOU BETWEEN ON MCCULLOUGH OR YOST ROAD, YOAST ROAD ITSELF.
MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE DRAINAGE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT THERE MORE THAN ANYTHING.
SO, UH, THAT THERE'S SOME AREAS THAT NEED, UH, FOR THE WATER TO FLOW.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE ONE THING.
THAT'S NOT, NO, THAT'S NO REPAIRS OR ANYTHING BESIDES, UH, UH, POTHOLE REPAIRS RIGHT NOW.
THAT'S NO ANYTHING, NO, THIS IS THE REASON I MENTIONED THAT BECAUSE I HAD GONE OUT THERE SOMETIME BACK.
UH, I DON'T WANT TO SAY DURING THE SUMMER, LAST SUMMER, AND I NOTICED THAT
[00:45:01]
ON THE EDGES OF THE ROAD, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO CURB AND GUTTER, UH, IT'S GETTING, UH, I GUESS I WANT TO SAY, UM, KIND OF LIKE DETERIORATED WATERSTONE WATER STANDARDS THERE.SO IT'S NOT, UH, I LOOK AT THAT FROM THE BLEEDING SIDE AND SOMETHING THAT, UH, WE, WE CAN LOOK AT, UH, WE'LL CREATE A WORK ORDER AND START PUT YOUR EYE ON THAT.
AND THEN ANOTHER ONE THAT I WANTED TO ASK YOU ABOUT BECAUSE YOU ON THE MILLING, UH, I DON'T KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT THAT, BUT WOULD THAT BE SOMETHING THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED? BECAUSE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT HEAVILY USED, UH, STREETS THAT ARE REALLY BAD SHAPE, UH, AND WE GET CONSTANT CALLS, UH, LATELY IT'S BEEN THE UTEX DRY, WHICH IS IN FRONT OF THE, UH, WITH THE SCHOOL, THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT BEHIND THE CAMERON COUNTY, CAMERON APPRAISAL DISTRICT IS, IS MILLING SOMETHING THAT COULD ADDRESS THAT, UH, IN THE MEANTIME, HOW DO Y'ALL, I MEAN, WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THAT MAYBE RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE MILLIONS IS SOMETHING FOR LOW.
IT COULD POSSIBLY, BUT IT WOULDN'T EXTEND IT VERY LONG.
AND SO WE JUST NEED TO DECIDE WHETHER IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO RIGHT NOW.
SO RIGHT NOW, WHAT WE'VE DONE IS GONE BACK.
LIKE WE JUST MENTIONED AS THE POTHOLE REPAIR, WE DID DO A, I'M A START AND YOU TEXT A LOT OF, UH, COLLEGIATE AND, UH, AND, UH, UH, COLMEX OVERLAY THERE'S IN THAT AREA.
UH, WE DID, WE WERE DOING IT SOME DURING THE COLD WEATHER, SO THERE'S A LOT OF COLLEGIATE TYPE, UH, POTHOLE REPAIRS THERE.
SO IT'S THE PERCEPTION IS, OH, THAT'S ALL YOU'RE GOING TO DO.
NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.
WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK AND DO THAT.
SO HOPEFULLY THAT WILL HELP IN THOSE THINGS AS WE CAN.
TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE MILLING.
WHAT DOES IT DO? WHAT, WHAT EXACTLY, UH, WHAT KIND OF FIX WOULD IT, DO THEY FIXED IT? IT'S MORE FOR WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT.
UH, LIKE I MENTIONED, LIKE THE CEMETERY, SOMETHING OF LOW VOLUME, UH, TYPE THING, AND NOT IN THE MOST SPEEDS, YOU DON'T WANT SOMETHING GOING THROUGH THEIR HIGH SPEEDS, THOSE KIND OF THINGS.
AND THEN ALSO IT ALL DEPENDS LIKE WE'VE DISCUSSED A LITTLE BIT, IS THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THE BASE IS STRONG AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS, AS FAR AS TO RECONSTRUCT A WHOLE NEW ROAD, UH, AND THAT'S GONNA TAKE TIME.
SO I'M THINKING, IS THERE A IMMEDIATE TEMPORARY FIX? UH, NOT AT THIS TIME AGAIN, WE'RE EVALUATING THOSE THINGS AND THERE'S A, THERE'S A LOT GOING ON.
AND SO I'M TRYING TO FOCUS ON THE OVERLAYS A LITTLE BIT, AND THEN THE POTHOLE REPAIRS, THOSE THINGS, UH, I UNDERSTAND THAT'S A CONCERN AND WE CAN BRING THAT UP AS, AS, AS THE NEW LIST FOR THE FUTURE OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IN 2022, I'M OPEN TO THAT AND DISCUSSIONS.
CAN YOU BE BETTER TO PUT A CONCRETE STREETS IN THAT AREA BECAUSE OF THE BUSES AND ALL THAT HEAVY TRAFFIC, ALL THAT, UH, 18 FOOTERS, A PASS THROUGH THERE, IT IS AN INDUSTRIAL PARK.
DID YOU SAY CONCRETE COMMISSIONER? YES.
UH, YES, BUT THAT'D BE MORE COSTLY.
WE CAN LOOK AT THAT AND GIVE YOU A NUMBER AND YEAH, THAT'D BE A LONG-TERM SOLUTION.
BUT WHAT I WAS ASKING WAS, IS THERE SOMETHING WE CAN DO IN THE IMMEDIATE, UH, ON, UH, RIGHT NOW, UH, RIGHT NOW THE IMMEDIATE IS JUST FIXING THE POTHOLES AND WE'LL LOOK AT, AS WE'RE EVALUATING, GOING FORWARD.
AMERICA COMMISSIONERS, UH, SOME OF THE CONVERSATIONS THAT I HAVE, I DON'T ALWAYS HAVE THEM WITH THE DIRECTOR.
THE MAILINGS IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE UTILIZED FOR, BECAUSE, UH, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU TEXTED I'M A STOCK.
PART OF THAT RECOMMENDATION WILL BE TO PUT A THICKER, A THICKER COATING OF MIX OF THIS, UH, MIDDLINGS, WHICH IS NOTHING MORE THAN USE ASPHALT FROM THE PROJECTS.
AND THEN YOU PUT OIL DOWN, OKAY.
IF COLLEGIA DOESN'T WORK AND WE'VE ALREADY TAKEN A GEO-TECHNICAL, UH, ASSESSMENT, A GEOTECHNICAL SURVEY OF THAT AREA, WE HAD GARVER DO IT FIVE YEARS AGO.
IF YOU SAW THE PHOTO THAT HAS SENT YOU FOR A BANO AND THIRD STREET, WE WENT THROUGH THAT CONCRETE IN THAT ROADWAY, THERE WAS NO STEEL, NO REBAR, THE MESSAGE YOU SEE, IT'S A PLASTIC MESH.
THERE IS NO STEEL IN REBAR, IN THE INDUSTRIAL PARK AREA WE'VE ALREADY DONE.
SO THEREFORE IT WILL BE A FULL CONSTRUCTION AND THERE'LL BE ABOUT EIGHT INCHES OF CONCRETE TO HANDLE THAT WEIGHT.
WHAT I HAVEN'T GIVEN MR. VASQUEZ INSTRUCTIONS, THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE TO GET ME THE MAILINGS PERIOD, HOW WE ADDRESS THESE AREAS WILL BE DECIDED WHEN WE GO IN THERE.
AND THE REASON BEING IS, AND MAYOR YOU AND NOT HAVE THIS CONVERSATION.
I'M NOT PUTTING COLLISION POTHOLES.
IT DOESN'T DO FROM ONE RAIN TO ANOTHER DURING THE WINTER MONTHS.
AND WE'RE ABOUT TO HIT THE SPRING MONTHS.
YOU'RE WASTING PUBLIC FUNDS ON COLLEGIA IN A POTHOLE, THIS COLD MIX.
THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGY OUT THERE I DO BELIEVE IS THAT I'VE USED SOME OF THE MILLINGS.
AND YET YOU MAKE IT JUST LIKE A BED.
YOU'RE PUTTING A BED OF MAILINGS NOW, AND YOU PUT OIL TO MAKE
[00:50:01]
IT NICE AND STICKY, AND IT STAYS THERE, RIGHT? THAT THAT LEAVES WILL RUN OFF.YOU DON'T HAVE ANY CARS OR AT LEAST, YOU KNOW, HITTING POTHOLES.
SO THAT'S THE, THAT'S THE IDEA.
AND THOSE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT MR. BASKETS ACIDS TO GET THOSE BILLINGS.
SO I'VE HEARD THE CONVERSATIONS AND WE'RE GOING THROUGH IT AND WE ARE WHY WE DON'T GET IT.
AND HERE'S THE THING IS I'M NOT DEPENDING ON THE COUNTY TO GET THE MAILINGS, WE WILL BUY IT ON THE MARKET OF NECESSARY TO ADDRESS THESE POTHOLES OF THESE ROADWAYS.
SO MY INSTRUCTIONS ARE VERY CLEAR.
IT WORKS BETTER THAN COLLEGIA.
WE CAN TAKE CARE OF HER STICKY PARK.
IT'S HORRIBLE, BUT WE'VE GOT OTHER ROADS.
WE'VE GOT OTHER AREAS THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS THIS.
AND HOW DO WE DO THIS? THESE ARE EASY REPAIRS, SHORT TIME, A MAY BE A YEAR, MAYBE TWO YEARS, BUT AT LEAST IT WON'T BE EVERY YEAR, THE SAME POTHOLES, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE GETTING.
WE'RE CONTINUALLY GOING BACK TO THE VERY SAME PUDDLES, BUT YOU DO NOT HAVE CONCRETE REBAR STEEL IN YOUR ROADWAYS, WHICH IS WHY WE WERE ABLE TO GET THROUGH THAT WATER LEAK.
AND WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE THIS EVENING, CORRECT? YES.
SO YOUR ROADS WERE NOT CONSTRUCTED PROPERLY FOR DECADES AGO.
INDUSTRIAL FOUNDATION WENT IN IN THE SEVENTIES 50 YEARS AGO, UH, WROTE LAST 20 YEARS, THAT ROAD SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN BUILT OFF TO ONCE OVER.
AND YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING TO REPLACE AGAIN.
SO WHEN IT WAS BUILT, IT WAS IN THE COUNTY, IT WAS CONVEYED TO THE CITY 10 YEARS LATER.
SO , THAT IS WHAT WE'VE GOT TODAY.
SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT IN NOT TO CATCH THEM OFF GUARD, BUT, UH, WE, WE ARE PUTTING A PLAN TOGETHER.
UH, AND SEVERAL OF YOU WILL CONTACT ME AND WE HAVE THESE DISCUSSIONS, BUT, UH, THERE'S A REASON THAT WE'RE MOVING AS QUICKLY AS WE ARE ON SOME OF THESE.
CAUSE WE DO NEED TO ADDRESS THEM.
WE NEED TO PROVIDE OPTIONS THAT WILL THESE BIAS SOME ADDITIONAL TIME UNTIL YOU HAVE THE FUNDING TO BUILD THE PROPER ROAD.
MAYOR, IF YOU, WE CAN, AFTER THE SIGNUP, IF WE CAN GO
[8. Consideration and possible action to approve a Live Performance Agreement with Fowl Ball Touring, Inc., for the San Benito Hog Waddle Concert. (Part 2 of 2)]
BACK TO NUMBER EIGHT REAL QUICK, I'LL GIVE YOU THE PRICING OF GUFF.SO, UM, THERE'S STILL ACTION ON THIS ITEM.
15, UH, CORRECTION, ITEM 10, JUST A DISCUSSION.
SO YOU WANT TO GO BACK, UH, I'D LIKE TO GO BACK TO NUMBER EIGHT, JUST SO I WANT IT TO GIVE YOU THE, SO WHEN WE LOOKED AT SOME OF THE HEADLINERS, BOBBY POLITO WAS 15,000 LITTLE DRAMA FOR ME TO 20.
SO WE STARTED GETTING THESE AND, AND FOR EXAMPLE, A SICK NOTE, 35,000, LAMACCHIA 35,000, YOU KNOW, BASED ON OUR, ON OUR BUDGET, WE KIND OF SAID, OKAY, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN ALWAYS GO BACK AND SAY, HEY GUYS, SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND GET ONE OF THESE.
THESE WERE THE LE WE WEREN'T, WE WERE LOOKING NOT AT THE 14TH, NIKKI.
WE WERE LOOKING AT ONE WEEK LATER, IT JUST CAME OUT THAT OUT OF THESE MORE AFFORDABLE, THE ONE THAT CAN PULL, THEY COULD PULL THE CROWDS.
AND AGAIN, I LISTENED TO COUNTRY MUSIC.
I DON'T REALLY PAY FOR THE ARTISTS.
IT'S NOT MEAN MY STAFF HAD TO TELL ME WHO THIS PERSON IS.
I KNOW WHO KEVIN FOWLER IS BY REPUTATION BY HIS NUMBERS.
IT WAS A BUSINESS DECISION, BUT THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT.
SO AGAIN, I APOLOGIZE, BUT THIS IS, IF YOU'RE WANTING ONE OF THESE, WE CAN CERTAINLY TRY.
BUT I, UH, THE CONVERSATION LAST WEEK WAS, UH, WE SUBMITTED AN OFFER.
WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO STAY AT ABOUT THAT 20 K UH, CERTAINLY CAN GO UP A LITTLE BIT.
WE WE'D PROBABLY, DEPENDING ON WHAT IT IS, WE MAY HAVE TO OFFSET THAT COST WITH A LITTLE BIT MORE, UH, PAYMENT AT, AT THE, YOU KNOW, ENTRY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, E-COMMERCE BUYING THEM ONLINE.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MAKING IT EASIER FOR THOSE, BECAUSE WHEN I'M BEING TOLD US, WE WILL GET FOLKS FROM CORPUS CHRISTI, MCALLEN, EVERETT, AND OUR HOTELS.
THE, THE HEADS ON BEDS, KEVIN FOLLOWED WOULD DO IT.
AND SO WITH SOME OF THESE OTHERS, SO THEREFORE, UH, IT'S ALL LATE NIGHT, HE PLAYS FROM NINE 30, TILL 11, AND HE'S NOT GOING TO GO ANYWHERE.
IT'S GOING TO SAY ONE OF OUR HOTELS.
SO, UH, WE'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THIS.
WHO'S GOING TO BE THE, UM, THE ADULT BEVERAGE PROVIDER.
IT'S A LOCAL, UH, BAR HERE IN TOWN.
NOT ONLY WILL IT BE THE, UH, THE, THE, THE BEER, BUT ALSO THE, THE HARDER ADULT BEVERAGES.
SO, BUT, UH, I WANT YOU TO SEE WHAT WE'VE GOT AND WE'VE BEEN LOOKING TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT WHAT'S AFFORDABLE AND WE WE'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO BUILD THIS UP.
AND I THINK WE CAN DO BETTER IF WE GET THE INFORMATION A LITTLE BIT MORE IN ADVANCE SO THAT WE CAN MAKE A BETTER DECISION.
[00:55:01]
NOT EXACTLY.UH, WE VOTED ON THIS ALREADY TO VOTE.
NO, NO, I DON'T WANT, WELL, HERE'S THE THING THOUGH.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, W W WE VOTE ON THAT AND, AND TABLE IT FOR NEXT MEETING.
AND SO ON, HERE WE GO, AND WE'RE GOING TO BE IN APRIL THEN IN MAY.
NOW WE ARE LOOKING FOR THE, FOR THE NEXT, AND I CANNOT THINK OF THE NAME.
WHAT'S THE NEXT ONE? 4TH OF JULY, TEXAS MUSIC FESTIVAL.
ACTUALLY THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION, BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT SOME GOOD, UH, LINEUPS HERE.
YOU, WE DO HAVE OPTIONS, AND IT'S JUST ABOUT PUTTING TOGETHER WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST OPTION OUT THERE AND SEE WHERE WE CAN FIND MONIES.
THERE'S ALWAYS, LIKE YOU SAY, UH, ADC, UH, OR SOMEBODY MENTIONED, I THINK IT WAS YOU, UM, MENTIONED EDC AND ELSA OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO WE CAN LOOK TO SEE HOW THEY PUT THINGS TOGETHER.
OTHER PLACES, NOT THAT I WANT TO COPY THEM, BUT WE, WE DEFINITELY WANT TO GIVE THE, THE BEST OPTION OUT THERE TO OUR RESIDENTS AND VISITORS.
YOU GUYS HAVE, HAVE THESE NUMBERS.
1, 2, 3, 4, ACROSS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
WE WERE LOOKING AT COMBINATIONS WITH THE BEST LINEUP WOULD BE FOR US.
WE MAY FILL IT IN WITH SOME SMALLER BANDS.
I MEAN, BUT WE WERE KIND OF LOOKING AT THIS.
SO JUST FOR THE, I WANT TO SEE NUMBER SIX AT THE SOUTH, SOUTH, TEXAS, FIRST OF ALL, WHICH IS NUMBER SIX, LAST ONE, THE VERY LAST ONE, BUT MAFIA, I WANT YOU THERE.
WELL, I WENT TO SOME VERIFIES ON SATURDAY.
THERE WAS ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE.
IT WAS PACKED, IT WAS RAINING AND IT WAS COLD MR. COVID AND PEOPLE DIDN'T STAY BEHIND WITH THAT AND TO THAT GROUP.
AND WE'LL WORK HARDER AT GETTING THESE THINGS FASTER.
AND THE CONVERSATIONS I HAD WITH MS WAS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO BE PLANNING THESE THINGS ONE YEAR OUT.
AND THE REASON BEING IS SO WE CAN GET THEM ON OUR CALENDAR.
WE CERT, YOU KNOW, WE START DRIVING THAT.
WE'RE HAVING TO LOOK AT EVERYBODY.
ELSE'S CALENDARS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE NOT SOMEWHERE ELSE AND WE'RE NOT COMPETING AGAINST SOMEBODY MORE FAVORABLE IN THE AREA, AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET THE PARTICIPATION, THE WEEKEND WORK.
FOWLER'S A NAME, BUT THAT THE, IN TENNESSEE B BE WORKING A YEAR OUT SO WE CAN CHOOSE THE, WELL, WE LOOK AT IT, WE'LL MAKE AN OFFER TO LA MAFIA.
IF WE CAN GET A BETTER, WE'LL PRESENT IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
AND WE'RE WORKING ON THIS LINE AND THE NEXT ONE WILL BE MUCH MORE PUNTO TO HEINEKEN AND NOT COUNTRY.
AND THEN OF COURSE IT WOULD BE YOUR, UH, YOUR HEADLINER AND THEN WHATEVER ELSE WAS IN PLACE.
UM, SO WITH THE NUMBER 10, WE ONLY HAD A DISCUSSION BECAUSE CONSTRUCTION.
THE ONLY DISCUSSION I HAD MENTIONED WAS A V ALL WANTED TO CONSIDER.
I KNOW YOU HAVEN'T, I JUST LET'S MOVE ON.
[11. Consideration and possible action to approve payment to H anson ProfessionalServices, Inc., pertaining to Engineering and Design Task Order Number 2 forservices pertaining to the El Camino Number 2 Lift Station located at 1 CaminoBoulevard and 777 West Business 77 for the total amount of$46,140.00. ]
REMEMBER LIVING CONSIDERATION POSSIBLE.I CAN TO APPROVE A PAYMENT ON HANSON, THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICE, INC, PERTAINING TO ENGINEERING AND DESIGN TASK ORDER.
NUMBER TWO CORE SERVICES PERTAINING TO EL CAMINO.
NUMBER TWO, LIFT STATION LOCATED AT ONE CAMINO BOULEVARD AND A 7 77 WEST THE BUSINESS AND ONE SEVEN AND THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF 46,140 AND A MR. DAVID ROSCOE PERCENTAGE, UH, MAYOR COMMISSIONERS, UH, AGAIN, UH, FOR THE RECORD, UH, DAVID VASQUEZ, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, UH, PRESENTING TO YOU ON THE EL CAMINO PROJECT.
UH, WE'RE GETTING TO THE VERY END OF THIS PROJECT AS FAR AS DESIGNING THINGS AND OTHER TASKS, UH, AS YOU'LL SEE ON ITEM 13 THAT, UH, THE BID WENT OUT, WE ACTUALLY ADVERTISE IT AND THAT'S GOING TO BE TALKED ABOUT.
AND SO THIS JUST KIND OF BRINGS THE WHOLE PROJECT TOGETHER WHERE WE'RE AT AS FAR AS PAYMENT AND WHERE WE'RE GOING, UH, ON THIS, ON THIS PROJECT FOR THE LIFT STATION OF EL CAMINO ONE.
AND SO STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
THAT'S THE ONE THAT'S GOING TO BE, UH, THIS IS THE ONE THAT'S RIGHT HERE BY THE SONIC AND THE, THE BANK.
THIS IS A L COMING IN AND IT ALSO ADDRESSES THE ONE TOWARD THE BACK.
THE BACK IS WHAT THEY CALL EL CAMINO TO CHANGING THAT ONE FROM A LIFT STATION TO DECOMMISSION IT, TO MAKING A SURGE TANK, WHICH IS BASICALLY A BIG, UH, MANDATORY.
THAT, THAT, THAT WAS MY QUESTION.
THE SURGE TANK IT'S GOING TO BE FLUSH WITH THE FLOOR IS THAT I COULDN'T FIGURE, I COULDN'T.
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? BUT IT GIVES GETTING DIFFERENT IMAGES.
SO IT'S GOING TO BE FLUSH ALMOST BECAUSE IT'S A SUBMERSIBLE, UH, UM, UH, PUMPS ON THOSE THINGS.
IT'S GOING TO BE A SLIGHT GRADE TO WHERE THE PUMPS ARE.
IT'S NOT A VERY SHARP GRAY AND, AND THIS CHANGE HERE THAT WE'RE DOING, IS IT ONLY JUST A DECOMMISSION ONE? UM, TWO, IS IT GOING TO UPGRADE THE ONE BY SONIC ANY MORE? IS IT GONNA BE ABLE TO HOLD MORE CAPACITY? AND THAT IS CAPACITY WISE, UH, UH, UH, RELIABILITY.
WE'RE GOING ACTUALLY AROUND IN
[01:00:01]
AN L SHAPE AROUND THAT PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT THAT SOMEBODY JUST PURCHASED THAT PROPERTY THAT'S RIGHT BEHIND THE CARWASH AND THE SONIC.SO THERE THERE'S A RIGHT NOW A SEWER LINE THAT GOES THROUGH THERE.
WE'RE LOOKING AT, AS PART OF THIS SCOPE IS DUE TO, UH, A DECOMMISSION THAT ONE AND GO AROUND UPSIZE THE LINE THERE'S FUTURE DEVELOPMENT GOING TOWARD THE RASAKA.
SO THIS IS ALL, UH, AS PART OF THE ENGINEERING DESIGN WAS TO INCORPORATE THAT EXPANSION AND ALSO THE MAIN LIFT STATION THAT'S BETWEEN THE SONIC AND THE BANK.
THERE'S AN INCREASE, UH, VOLUME THAT WAS ENGINEERED DESIGN.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE PLANNING AHEAD BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT HAPPENING THERE NOW.
AND, UH, FROM WHAT I HAD SAW, I SAW THAT SOAR LINE CUTTING ACROSS.
I WASN'T SURE WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH IT, BUT IT, THE PLAN IS TO DO AN L-SHAPE AROUND THE PROPERTY TO NOT DISTURB ANY FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.
THAT'S AN EASEMENT FOR A UTILITY EASEMENT FOR THE CITY OF SAN BENITO, WHICH IS GOING TO BE, UH, MY UNDERSTANDING.
WE'RE GOING TO LOOK FOR A SANITARY SEWER DEDICATION SPECIFICALLY.
AND SO WE'RE LOOKING FOR PAYMENT ON THAT.
THERE'S GOING TO BE GRAVITY FROM THE NEXT WHAT'S GOING TO BE FROM THE BACKSIDE WHERE THE, UH, THE MOBILE HOME TYPE THING.
THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE CHANGING IT FROM A LIFT STATION TO A SEARCH TANK, WHICH WILL BE GRABBING THE FLOW TO THE FRONT WHERE THE SONIC AND THE BANKER APP ALONG BUSINESS 77.
AS FAR AS THE BIDDING PROCESS, COULD YOU JUST BRING ME TO SPEED OF HOW IT WORKS? THIS DOES HANSON GO OUT AND SET UP A BIDDING, UH, WHAT WE NEED DONE, AND THEN THEY COLLECT THE BIDS OR DOES THE CITY HAVE TO GO THROUGH AN RFQ PROCESS, UH, OR IS HANSON THE ONE THAT'S HANDLING ALL THAT ENGINE ENGINEERING? MS. VEGA IS GONNA ANSWER THE QUESTION.
UH, PAULINA VEGA, PROJECT MANAGER FOR HANSON PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, UH, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, UH, THE CITY ADVERTISES OR MAKES THE ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE BIDS, UH, THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE RECEIVING.
WHAT WE USED FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROJECT WAS A NON-LINE, UH, BIDDING SYSTEM, UH, WHERE WE PLACE ALL OF THE PLANTS.
UH, IT'S FREE OF CHARGE FOR ANYBODY THAT WISHES TO REGISTER AND DOWNLOAD THE PLANTS.
AND THEN, UH, BIDS WERE RECEIVED HERE, UH, UH, CITY HALL.
I JUST FOUND IT INTERESTING HOW SOME OF THE BIDS WERE PRETTY DRASTIC.
SO MY CONCERN IS, DOES, DOES THE, THE LOWEST BIDDER NOT SEE SOMETHING THAT SOME OF THE OTHERS DO OR IS IT BECAUSE OF EXPERIENCES, WHY ONE COSTS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE THAN THE OTHER? SURE.
UH, IN MY OPINION, THERE'S A COUPLE OF ITEMS THAT, UH, THAT PLAY THE PART IN THE DIFFERENCE IN PRICES.
UH, ONE BEING THE TIME OF COMPLETION, COMPLETION BEING PROPOSED.
UH, IF YOU NOTICE ON THE BID TAB, AND THIS WILL BE ON THE LATER ITEM, UM, THE, THERE WAS AN ALTERNATE PROPOSAL FOR THE TIME OF COMPLETION OF 250 DAYS, AS OPPOSED TO WHAT WE HAD RECOMMENDED OF 150 DAYS.
SO, UH, TIME, UH, IS A FACTOR IN THE PRICES IN ADDITION EQUIPMENT, UH, WHATEVER EQUIPMENT THAT THEY HOLD THAT A COMPANY HOLDS, WHETHER THEY HAVE TO, UH, UH, RENT IT OUT OR THEY HAVE IN HOUSE AFFECTS THE PRICES OF WHAT THEY'RE BIDDING AND ALSO THE LABOR AND THE SUBS THAT THEY'RE HAVE.
SO, UM, AND IN, IN THE SWELL, THE PERCEIVED COMPLEXITY OF THE PROJECT, UH, ONE CONTRACTOR MIGHT THINK THAT IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE COMPLEX THAN THE OTHER, AND THEREFORE, UH, ADJUST THEIR PRICES.
AND IN YOUR PROFESSIONAL OPINION, WHICH WOULD BE THE BETTER OPTION HERE.
UH, OUR RECOMMENDATION IS FOR FERGUSON, THE APPARENT LOW BIDDER, UH, TO BE AWARDED THE CONTRACT.
UH, WE DID, UH, CHECK REFERENCES.
WE'VE ALSO JUST FINISHED WORKING WITH THEM, A PROJECT FOR THE CITY OF LOS FRESNOS.
SO WE HAVE RECENT WORKING EXPERIENCE WITH THEM.
THEY DID, UH, THEIR HEAD WORKS FOR THEIR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT, UH, QUITE A FEW, SEVERAL YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.
UM, THE INTENT HERE IS THAT YOU GUYS DESIGN THE SCHEMATICS, THE SURVEYS, YOU PRESENT IT TO THEM, AND THEY WILL COMPLETE THE CONSTRUCTION SIDE OF IT.
AND YOU WILL BE PROJECT MANAGING THEM RIGHT BEFORE WE'LL BE DOING SOME CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION AND CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, THAT THE CONSTRUCTION IS BEING DONE, UH, AS PER PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS.
DO I HAVE MOTION, MOTION, MOTION, BIOCHEMISTRY VIA FRANCO.
SECOND, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER IS HERE ALL IN FAVOR.
[12. Consideration and possible action to approve payment to Hanson Professional Services, Inc., for invoice numbers 1091173 and 1092287 for services performed in regards to Task Order 3 - Alameda Lift Station in the total amount of$43,600.00]

AND A 1 0 9 2 2 8 7 OR SERVICES PERFORMING REGARDED TO TASK ORDER.NUMBER THREE, I MIGHT HAVE LIFT, UH, A MATER LIFT STATION IN THE TOTAL MONTH OF 43,600.
AND MR. DEBBIE ROSCOE'S PERCENT DISHONOR MAYOR COMMISSIONERS AGAIN FOR THE RECORD, UH, DAVID HOSKINS PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR.
UH, THE SUBJECT HERE IS THE ELEVATOR LIFT STATION WHERE AS WE'RE GOING THROUGH, UH, ENGINEERING DESIGN.
AND SO WE'RE AT A POINT WHERE, UH, WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING SOME FURTHER, UH, THINGS WITH THIS, UH, LIFT STATION.
AND THAT'S GOING TO BE BROUGHT UP LATER ON THIS EVENING.
SO JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW, WE SEEM TO BE GOING GOOD ON THE, ON THE PROJECT, AND WE'RE GOING TO THE NEXT STEP HERE.
AND SO FOR RIGHT NOW, WE'D LIKE FOR YOU TO CONSIDER STAFF RECOMMENDS PAYMENT FOR THE WORK THAT IS ACCOMPLISHED RIGHT NOW ON THE ENGINEERING DESIGN AT 80% MANY, UH, HOW ARE WE GOING ON THE, UH, THE SIX LIFT STATIONS FROM, UH, UH, TCEQ? I MEAN, WE'RE GETTING THERE, WE'RE GETTING TO THE POINT THAT WE'RE USING.
SO WHEN YOU GET TO NUMBER 13, YOU'LL DISCUSS THE, UH, YELLOW COMING CAMINO NUMBER TWO.
UH, THAT'S 250 DAYS, WHICH IS BEING PROPOSED FOR THE ADDITIONAL, UH, I CAN'T RECALL 10, UH, IT WAS SIGNIFICANT FROM 150 TO 250 DAYS.
I'D PUT YOU IN RIGHT ABOUT 8.3, THREE MONTHS TURNED 50 DAYS.
SO IT PUTS IT RIGHT AT THE END OF THE YEAR, DECEMBER.
REMEMBER YOU HAVE A MARCH 20, 23.
SO WE'RE ON TARGET DURING THAT, YOU KNOW, NOTHING DRASTIC HAPPENS.
HEY, HERE'S THE THING THERE, YOU MAY NOT BE COMPLETELY COMPLETED 100%, BUT IF YOU'RE SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE AND YOU START, YOU'VE ALREADY SEEN SAN JOSE, YOU'RE SEEING WHAT WORKING AT ROADS YOU'RE SEEING.
SO THAT'S NOT PART OF THIS, AND I'M JUST HAVING TO CHANGE GEARS HERE, BUT WE ARE WORKING TOWARD MEETING THAT A LOT AND WILL BE COMPLETED A LOT OF HAVE ALREADY BEEN, FOR EXAMPLE, THE SAN JOSE IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE, UH, THAT TCEQ TO SHARE MR. COMMISSIONER, GAVASKAR CONCERN.
IT SHOULD HAVE A COVER OVER THAT ELECTRICAL PANEL, TC KIT, AND REQUIRED.
WE'RE GOING TO IMPROVE THAT SITE.
WE'RE GOING TO DO SOME MORE WORK TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN PROTECT OUR EXPOSED ELECTRONICS, JUST HAVING A BOX OPEN.
IT'S GOT SOME TYPE OF A COVER FROM THE SUN, THE ELEMENTS, STUFF LIKE THAT.
SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, SO WE'RE HITTING THAT TIMELINE AND IF WE MOVE ON AND WE'LL DISCUSS THE ELEMENT OF LIVE STATION, UH, LATER ON, UH, AND, AND THE ACQUISITION ISSUES THAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS, OKAY.
I JUST WANT TO KNOW THAT WE WE'RE ON TARGET FOR THAT.
UH, ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS? A NUMBER I DON'T REMEMBER, 12, UH, ALAMEDA IS LOCATED IN FRONT OF A SCHAFFER.
CABASA THAT AREA BY THE, UH, CANAL OR THE RAILROAD TRACKS IS IN THE BACK.
AND WASN'T THERE LIKE A PROPERTY.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE DISCUSSED LATER ON THAT.
I'M MONKEY TO APPROVE AND GET A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER FRANCO.
SECOND, SECOND BY AND MICHELLE GARCIA ALL IN FAVOR.
ANY NAYS MOTION PASSES, MAYOR COMMISSIONERS.
[13. Consideration and possible action to award the sanitary sewer system improvements to the El Camino Number 1 Lift Station, located at 777 West Business 77, to Ferguson Service Systems, Inc., for the base bid amount of $584,190.00, and not award Alternate Bid A and Alternate Bid B, and authorize the Mayor to execute the contract documents.]
I DON'T 13 CONSIDERATION POSSIBLE ACTION TO, UH, ACTION TO AWARD.THE SENATOR IS THE WORD A SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT TO THE OUTCOME IN A NUMBER ONE LIFT STATION LOCATED AT 7, 7, 7 WEST.
THE BUSINESS UNITS ARE IN TO FERGUSON SERVICE SYSTEM, INC, OR THE BASE BID AMOUNT, THE $584,186 90, EXCUSE ME, $584,190.
AND, UH, NOT BID IT, NOT BID ALTERNATE BID AND A AND ALTERNATIVE BID B.
IN OTHER WORDS, THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND MR. DAVID VASQUEZ LANE.
UM, IF YOU GO DOWN TO THE BASE BIT SECOND PAGE, SO YOU'LL SEE THE LETTER, UH, MS. VEGA, UH, MAKES A RECOMMENDATION, UH, IT'S THERE I'VE READ IT.
I HAD A DISCUSSION WITH HER BEFORE I'D EVER MADE THE AGENDA.
WE MADE SURE THAT WE WERE WE'RE IN AGREEMENT, THEIR RECOMMENDATION, AND THAT I'M SEEING WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO.
SECOND PAGE OF THAT BID TABULATION FAR, RIGHT? YOU'LL SEE FERGUSON TOTAL BASE BID FOR 584,000.
NOW LOOK OVER ONE COLUMN TO THE LEFT CORNER CONSTRUCTION.
1.283 MILLION IS, IS A HUNDRED DAYS WORTH ANOTHER 600,000.
MY RECOMMENDATION WAS, I DON'T THINK SO, WHICH IS WHY WE WENT.
WE CAN STILL MEET OUR DEADLINE MAYOR, WHICH IS WHY I'M LOOKING AT THAT DEADLINE.
I SAID, IT'S AT THE END OF THE YEAR, SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETED.
WE CAN ARGUE THAT ALL DAY LONG WITH TCQ YET WE'RE SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETED.
WE'RE GOING TO DO THE LITTLE BIT OF HOUSEKEEPING AROUND THE FENCING, THE GRASS, RIGHT? THOSE KINDS OF
[01:10:01]
THINGS, BUT FOR 600,000.AND, UH, PARTLY WHEN WE LOOK AT THESE THINGS AND I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH MR. VASQUEZ, HE SAID, WHY IT'S SO LOW? I SAID, HERE'S THE THING.
IT IS THE CONSULTANT ENGINEER'S JOB TO TELL US WHY WE DISQUALIFY THEM, BECAUSE UNLESS WE HAVE A GOOD BASIS FOR DISQUALIFYING, THE LOW BIDDER, THE LOW BIDDER GETS IT.
SHE DIDN'T HAVE ONE, BUT WE DIDN'T AGREE ON, UH, UM, I DIDN'T AGREE THAT WE SHOULD GO FOR THE 150 DAYS FOR AN ADDITIONAL 600,000.
SO IT'S JUST, THAT'S HOW WE CAME.
AND I RECALL IT WAS LATE LAST WEEK, LATE IN THE HOURS AFTER HOURS AND FRED BELL.
AND I CALLED MS. VEGA TO DISCUSS THE OPTIONS.
I SAW WHAT IT WAS THAT BIG DIFFERENCE.
DO I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO QUESTIONS.
DO I HAVE A MOTION ON THEM? 13 MAKE I GOT A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER GARCIA.
SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER.
ANY NAYS? MOTION PASSES YOU ADAM
[14. First Reading of Ordinance Number 2103-5, amending Ordinance Numbers 2103, 2103-1, 2103-2, 2103-3, 2103-4 and any other amending ordinances codified in the Code of Ordinances in Chapter 10, Section 10.02.009, pertaining to "Processing of Final Plat" and repealing any other ordinances in conflict therewith, as provided by the City of San Benito and providing for an effective date. ]
OR 14 FIRST WEEKEND ORDINANCE NUMBER 21 0 3 DASH FIVE FROM AN ORDINANCE NUMBER 21 0 3 2103 DASH 1 21 0 3 DASH 2 21 0 3 DASH 3 21 3 DASH FOUR.AND ANY OTHER AMENDING ORDINANCE QUARTER PIPE IN THE COURT OF ORANGE IN CHAPTER 10, SECTION 10 POINT JOE, TWO POINT GEORGE OVER NINE PERTAIN TO PROCESSING THE FINAL PLOT.
AND WE'RE PUTTING ANY OTHER ORDINANCE IN CONFLICT.
THEY'RE THERE WITH US PROVIDING THE CD SUMMARY ANTHEM AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
AND WHICH DELIVERS A PERCENTAGE DISHONOR AMERICAN MENTIONED BEFORE YOU HAVE THE, IS A DRAFT ORDINANCE.
IT'S ACTUALLY THE FIRST READING.
AND WHAT WE TRY TO ADDRESS EARLY ON IS OUR DRAINAGE REQUIREMENTS.
AND IF YOU'LL NOTICE IN THIS FIRST PAGE, SECTION ONE, THAT WE'RE REPEALING A CERTAIN SECTION REPEATING, UH, THE FOLLOWING VERBIAGE, WHICH IS OUT OF THE SECTION OUT OF A CHAPTER 10 OF THE PROCESSING OF THE FINAL PLAT.
YOU'LL SEE THE ROMAN NUMERAL LOWER CASE.
THEN YOU SEE STORM DRAINAGE AND YOU SEE ONE, IT'S GOT FAT, A, B, AND C, AND THEN YOU LOOK AT THE STORE MANAGEMENT PLAN, WHICH IS IN EXHIBITS.
IF YOU GO TO CAMERON COUNTY'S DRAINAGE PLANT, YOU'LL SEE VERY SIMILAR TO THAT EXHIBIT.
YOU GO TO HILDAGO COUNTIES SAYS, YOU'LL SEE, VERY SIMILAR.
SO, UH, AND WE, WE HAD DISCUSSIONS.
SO, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A DISCUSSION TODAY WITH MY PLANNING MANAGER.
I THINK MAYOR, YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT WHERE THESE THINGS CAME FROM THE 25 YEAR STORM IS WHAT THE DETENTION THAT THE COUNTY HAS.
YOU GOT A 10 YEAR STORM WITH THE 10 YEAR TERM VANCE, RIGHT? OKAY.
NOW YOU'VE GOT FLOODING, TENURE STORMS AS MUCH RAIN AS IT IS.
WE'RE ALL SEEING GLOBAL WARMING.
WE'RE SEEING REALLY FUNKY WEATHER.
YOU'RE NOT EVEN MEETING THE COUNTY STANDARDS.
AND THEY'RE USUALLY THE ONES THAT HAVE LESS AND THEY HAVE USUALLY RURAL, YOU GOT DENSITY.
SO PART OF THE DISCUSSION I HAVE WITH ENGINEERS AND I GET, WE'VE GOT VARIOUS ENGINEERS ON STAFF, AND THIS IS A TOPIC THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIME NOW, BUT HCE IS THE ONE WE TASKED WITH AND SAY, HEY, COMPARE THIS BECAUSE THEY DO WORK.
THEY WERE PART OF ANOTHER FIRM.
THEY DID WORK A LOT IN HILDAGO COUNTY.
THEY'RE FAMILIAR WITH THESE STANDARDS.
I SAID, AND READ THE ARTICLES THAT CAME OUT WITH OUR NEIGHBORING CITY, JUST NEXT DOOR TO THE NORTH OF US GO, HEY, WHAT STANDARDS DO THEY HAVE? AND WHAT IS IT THAT THEY'RE NOT MEETING? HE SAID, YEAH.
HE SAID, LOOK, SOME COUNTIES HAVE A TWENTY-FIVE, BUT THEY GOT A 10 YEAR.
YOU GOT A 10 YEARS STONE WITH A 10 YEAR.
SO LET ME PUT IT IN VERY LAYMAN'S TERMS, A 25 YEARS STORM DETENTION POND.
AND IT RAINS OFTEN ENOUGH THAT IT GETS FULL, BUT YOU'VE GOT A STRAW FEEDING THE POND AND IT CAN'T DRAIN OFF THE STREETS FAST ENOUGH.
IT'S NOT PROPERLY SIZED, VERY BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF ENGINEERING.
I'M NOT SITTING ENGINEER, NOT A CONSULTING ENGINEER.
I DON'T MAKE THIS DECISIONS WITHOUT DISCUSSING WITH MY ENGINEERS.
AND I WAS A PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR BACK IN 1990S, BETTER PART OF 10 YEARS ON HARRIS COUNTY, RIGHT DOWN FROM THE MEDICAL CENTER.
YEAH, BY USE THEY'RE MUCH BIGGER THAN THE CHANNELS ARE HERE.
SO I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH DRAINAGE FOR 30 YEARS.
AND THE POINT IS THAT DRAINAGE THINGS THAT WE, THE GUIDELINES THAT WE PROVIDED IN HERE IS IT'S A COMBINATION OR COMPILATION OF CAMERON COUNTY.
SHE HAS OVER COUNTIES, HARLAND, GINS, AND THEN THE ENGINEERS AND WHAT THEY GOT.
THIS IS, THIS IS GOING TO BE WHAT IT IS.
AND I SAID, WHAT CAN I DO MORE? IT'S NOW
[01:15:01]
PROBABLY THE INDUSTRY'S NOT GOING TO LIKE IT TOO MUCH MORE.AND THIS IS THE STANDARDS THAT THEY'RE LOOKING IN THIS AREA.
AND EVERY CITY, EVERY COUNTY HAS ITS OWN.
YOU GO TO COASTAL COMMUNITIES, YOU GO TO HARRIS COUNTY, GALVESTON RYAN, WHERE I'M FROM, YOU'RE GOING TO WAVE IT'S WAY DIFFERENT, BUT THIS AT LEAST KIND OF GOES, YEAH, WE'RE ADDRESSING DRAINAGE BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO GET IS A CALL THAT WE'RE FLOODING THE ROADWAYS.
YOU RECALL, WHEN I TOLD YOU THAT STREETS ARE DESIGNED AS STRANGE CHANNELS, WOULD YOU RATHER FLOOD YOUR HOME OR WOULD YOU RATHER FLOOD THE STREET? EXACTLY.
THAT IS A VERY, IT'S VERY STANDARD IN INDUSTRY.
YOU DO THAT IN HOUSTON, YOU'RE FLOODING MERCEDES AND EXPENSIVE CARS.
THEY HAVE SISTER AND SYSTEMS, THERE'S CONVEYOR SYSTEMS AND THE RIGHT OF WAYS WHERE THERE'S PIPING, THAT GOES MUCH DEEPER.
AND HOW MUCH ARE YOU WANTING DEVELOPERS TO TAKE IT? SO THE RECOMMENDATION BEING MADE, I THINK IT'S VERY FAIR.
BASED ON, WE LOOKED AT WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY.
I DIDN'T LOOK AT ANYWHERE ELSE DID IN CONSULTATION WITH THE ENGINEERS.
AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE RECOMMENDING THAT.
UM, WE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT SESSION.
THE OTHER THING THAT WE ADDRESS IS TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS.
WE HAVE UPWARDS OF SOMEWHERE BETWEEN FIVE AND 700, UH, LOTS IN THE FUTURE, SOMEWHERE UPWARDS BETWEEN SEVEN AND NINE PLANTS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.
WE'RE NOT, IF YOU GO TO AT THE CORNER OF RUSSELL AND LOVE IT, THAT DEVELOPMENT 105 HOMES, SOME OF THE SITES LIKE THE END OF THE POLICE STATION, OR ACROSS 5,860, IT'S MUCH LARGER THAN THAT 20 ACRE SITE.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TWO AND 300 HOMES THAT ARE GOING TO BE HITTING THOSE AREAS.
SO TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS, HOW WE ADDRESS OUR FUTURE ROADWAYS FOR US, DO WE HAVE DECELERATION LANES? DO WE HAVE ENOUGH, UH, UH, FOR EXAMPLE, IDEA SCHOOL RUSSELL LANE, THAT'S BASED ON THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS ENGINEER SEAL THAT IT DOESN'T WORK.
WE GET TOO MANY COMPLAINTS FROM CITIZENS TO OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, RIGHT? SO JUST BECAUSE AN ENGINEER SEALED IT DOES, IT NECESSARILY MEANS IT WORKS.
LIBERTY ESTATES, DRAINAGE, AND ENGINEER SEALED.
SO PART OF WHAT I TELL US, NONE OF US WANT TO FACE OUR MORTALITY.
WE GO SEE DOCTORS AND PEOPLE STILL DIE.
AND JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE A PROFESSIONAL DOESN'T MEAN IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE RIGHT.
WE NEED TO DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE, MAKE SURE THAT WE DO THE ENGINEERING RIGHT.
THAT WE SET SOME MINIMUM STANDARDS THAT WE HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.
SO MY RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THIS IS WHAT IT IS.
IT'S IN CONSULTATION WITH MY STAFF, MY PLANNER, ENERGY, MY ENGINEERS, AND AGAIN, A LOT OF EXCEL.
AND SOME MATTER OF FACT, MY STAFF HATES IT WHEN I GO SEARCHING THE INTERNET, LOOKING FOR STANDARDS FROM OTHER PLACES, BUT THIS IS WHERE IT'S COMING FROM.
BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND, WE, WE, WE STILL NEED TO ADDRESS PLATTING ISSUE, MINOR PLANTS.
HOW DO WE MOVE THAT PROCESS ALONG FASTER? AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT, UH, UH, THE PLANNING MANAGERS WORKING ON.
AGAIN, THEY COMPILE IT TOGETHER.
I SEND IT TO MR. SAUCY TO MAKE SURE THAT I MISSED SOMETHING.
HE'S NOT LOOKING AT THE TECHNICAL, HE'S LOOKING AT THE LEGAL, OKAY.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS? THERE'S NO AUCTIONS.
THE QUESTION IS WHEN YOU SAY MINIMUM STANDARDS, UM, AND WHEN YOU SAY THAT TO ME, I FEEL SOMETIMES, UH, WHEN IT COMES TO DRAINAGE, ESPECIALLY MINIMUM STANDARDS CAN GET US IN TROUBLE, ESPECIALLY WHERE THERE'S NO MAINTENANCE.
SO IF WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW MINIMUM STANDARDS, WE MUST ENSURE THAT MAINTENANCE IS FOLLOWED THROUGH YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT CAUSES FLOODING IS THE LACK OF MAINTENANCE, WHETHER IT'S INTERNAL, EXTERNAL AROUND THE CITY, THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO FOCUS ON ANY, ANY TIME.
AND I'M JUST SAYING, BECAUSE, UH, WE DON'T WANT TO MAKE THINGS IMPOSSIBLE FOR DEVELOPERS.
WE WELCOME ALL DEVELOPMENT, BUT WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WHEN IT COMES TO DRAINAGE.
BECAUSE LIKE YOU SAY, UH, WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE YOUR STREET FLOODED OR YOUR HOUSE FLOODED WERE OF COURSE NOT MY HOUSE.
UM, AND WE I'VE HAD THAT BEFORE.
UM, I LOST MY CAR AND THE FLOOR OF MY HOUSE.
[01:20:01]
SO, UH, YEAH, WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE THAT, BUT DEFINITELY, UH, WHEN IT COMES TO DRAINAGE, UH, I FEEL WE SHOULD GO THE EXTRA MILE WHEN IT COMES TO, AND THERE IS A PROVISION IN HERE FOR STORMWATER DETENTION MAINTENANCE, WHICH REQUIRES THAT THE PROPERTY OWNERS HAS BEEN WHY FOR PROPERTY OWNERS SINGLE LAWN.NOW THERE'S AN EXEMPTION FOR HALF AN ACRE OR LESS, NO DETENTION, HALF AN ACRE.
SO MAKE SURE I SAID, WHAT IS INDUSTRY STANDARD? CAN WE GET AWAY FROM IT AND SAYS, YES, HAPPY ANYTHING GREATER THAT RECORDED ONSITE DETENTION.
BUT IT ALSO SAYS, HERE'S MY, WHAT WE'RE SEEING.
YOU'VE GOT DEVELOPMENTS NOW COMING IN, THEY START UP AN LLC FOR ONE DEVELOPMENT, ONE PHASE, AND THEN THEY GO TO THE NEXT ONE STARTING NEXT, BUT THEY'RE NOT WANTING TO MAINTAIN THOSE DETENTION PONDS.
WE'VE ALREADY GOT SOME AREAS RIGHT NOW AND WE'RE TACKLING THOSE THINGS.
AND THIS ADDRESSES THAT IF YOU DON'T CREATE A PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION OR EQUIVALENT TO MANAGE THAT.
SO BECAUSE HERE'S THE OTHER OPTION AND I'VE WORKED AT A CITY THAT DOES IT.
W W WE DON'T WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE THAT, THAT PLATTED SUBDIVISION, AND THIS WAS A, UH, IT'S CALLED MOLLICA FORCE.
AND IN, IN, UH, IN SHENANDOAH OFF A WOMAN ROAD HAS AN OFF-SITE DETENTION.
THEY BOUGHT, IT SAID, LOOK, WE'LL BUY CAPACITY BY METES AND BOUNDS OF THAT.
PLAT CREATED A MUNICIPAL DRAINAGE DISTRICT.
AND, AND OUR ENGINEERS CALCULATED WHAT THE RUNOFF WOULD BE, WHAT THE MAINTENANCE WOULD BE IN THE CITY, SOLD THEM A DETENTION CAPACITY DOWN THE ROAD, OFFSIDE.
BUT THOSE CITIZENS BASED ON A USER FEE HAD TO PAY FOR IT.
THAT'S WHAT A CHOICE IS GOING TO DO, OR APPEAL A PROPERTY OWNERS OR HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION.
IT IS UP TO THEM TO MAINTAIN THEM.
I DRIVE BY, I SEE THE ONE AT BROADWAY PLACE, RIGHT? AND IT'S, IT'S A DETERIORATING.
I SEE THE ONE THAT HEB THE FENCE, THE TREE IS DETERIORATING.
YOU CAN GO TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS AND ISSUE CITATIONS.
YOU CAN ALSO SAY, TAKE CARE OF YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE.
I DRIVE AROUND, I LOOK AT THESE THINGS.
YOU CAN, THERE'S SOMEBODY OWNS THEM IN USUALLY A CORPORATION THAT'S AROUND.
IT'S RUN AN LLC THAT SHUTTERS ITS DOORS, BECAUSE THEY GO TO THE NEXT DEVELOPMENT.
SO EVENTUALLY, IF WE DON'T ADDRESS LIKE BROADWAY PLAYS, PHASE THREE, PHASE ONE, AND PHASE THREE HAVE ALREADY BEEN CONSTRUCTED.
THEY'RE TRYING TO GET PHASE TWO.
THEY USE THE SAN DETENTION POND AND THAT DETENTION POND, WHEN THE MAYOR VISITED WITH STAFF, AND WE WENT OUT THERE AND LOOKED AT THAT, IT'S STILL NOT TAKING CARE OF TODAY.
AND I CONTINUED TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS.
SO THE COMMISSION ARE, THERE HAS AN OPTION OF NOT APPROVING PLATS FOR THAT DEVELOPMENT ANYMORE.
NOT ISSUING BUILDING PERMITS OR WILL RATCHET UP ENFORCEMENT, BUT THAT, AND EVEN ACCORDING TO MS. LAMBERT, LAST WEEK, SHE MENTIONED, UH, THAT THAT DETENTION GOES STRAIGHT INTO HER CHANNEL.
THAT IS NOT PROPERLY MAINTAINED.
SO WE HAVE A, YOU KNOW, WE COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER.
SO, AND WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS THIS LATER ON, BUT IT IS PART OF THOSE DISCUSSIONS THAT WE'RE, THAT WE ARE NOW HANDLING HANDILY, UH, STORM WATER, RUNOFF DETENTION IN DRAINAGE CONCERNS ON A REGIONAL LEVEL.
THERE ARE ABOUT A HALF A DOZEN DIFFERENT STUDIES WE'VE ALREADY MET WITH HARLAND.
WE MET WITH ANOTHER GROUP RECENTLY, SOME ANOTHER, UH, PROJECT THAT THEY'RE WORKING ON THAT, UH, MR. AND SOME OF THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, BUT THERE IS THAT ABOUT A HALF A DOZEN, AND WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS ANOTHER, AN EXECUTIVE SESSION THAT IS YOU SAW, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S GOING TO WHAT'S IN THERE.
SO, UH, I AGREE THAT WE NEED TO INCREASE THE STANDARDS AND INCREASING THEM FROM 10 TO 25 IS, IS APPROPRIATE AT LEAST TO THE COUNTY STANDARDS.
BUT, UM, I HAVE A QUESTION HERE.
IT SAYS, I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE STATEMENT.
STORMWATER RUNOFF INCREASES RESULTING FROM DEVELOPMENT SHALL BE MITIGATED ON SITE FOR THE 2, 10 25 YEAR METEOROLOGY LOGICAL EVENTS.
WE'RE STILL GOING WITH A STANDARD OF 25 YEARS.
BUT WHY, WHY IS THERE A 2, 10 25? YEAH.
AND I SAW THAT AND I, IT, CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT PAGES ON, BECAUSE IT'S IN SEVERAL SECTIONS, THIS IS PAGE EIGHT.
I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH, UH, THE CONSULTANTS WITH HCE ABOUT IT, AND HE GAVE ME A REASON AND I'LL HAVE HIM ADDRESS IT OR I'LL HAVE HIM, UH, PROVIDE SOMETHING IN WRITING.
I DID, UH, HE WANTED TO SEE HOW THOSE CALCULATIONS ARE BASED IN IF THEY'RE REALLY DOING THEIR CALCULATION.
AND AGAIN, UM, CONTROLLED WHEN I DOWNLOADED THE, THE COUNTY'S INFORMATION, I WAS LOOKING AT IT BECAUSE I REALLY AT, AT ONE POINT EARLY ON, I JUST SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT, WHY DON'T WE JUST ADOPT THE COUNTY STANDARDS? AND THEN I SAW THE CONVEYANCE SYSTEM AND HAD DISCUSSIONS, BUT, UH, YOU'LL SEE HOW COMPLICATED.
IT'S ABOUT AS COMPLEX AS THIS ONE.
AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR THAT, BUT YOU MADE A GOOD POINT.
HE TOLD ME, UH, YOU KNOW, UH, I DIDN'T CAPTURE THE ESSENCE
[01:25:01]
OF, OF THAT, BUT I CAN, I'LL HAVE HIM ADDRESS IT.ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY, THEN MOVING ON, UH, IT'S ONLY THE FIRST READING, THAT'S ADAMANT THE 14.
[15. Public Hearing: To solicit input regarding a Re-plat of Heywood Addition, bearinga Legal Description of, 0.34-Acres ofland consisting of all of Lots 8 & 9, Block 5,Heywood Addition, San Benito, Texas, according to the map or plat thereofrecorded in Volume 2, Page 27, Map Records, Cameron County, Texas. Applicant:Simon Fonseca and Delia Fonseca]
PUBLIC HEARING TO SOLICIT INPUT, UH, REGARDING A REPLAT OF, UH, HE WOULD ADDITION, BURNER LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF, UH, POINT, UH, 34 ACRES OF LAND CONSISTENT OF ALL LOTS, 89 BLOCK FIVE.HE WENT TO ADDITION SOMEBODY WITH TEXAS, ACCORDING TO THE MAP OR PIPE THE ROW, ACCORDING TO VOLUME, TWO PAGE 27 MET RECORDS, CAMERON COUNTY, TEXAS APPLICANT, SIMONE FONSECA, AND .
AND MR. ROSA PRESENTED THE CENTER.
AMERICAN MENTIONED THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.
IT IS A, UM, TWO, UH, IT IS THE MERGING OF TWO LAWNS, EIGHT AND NINE OUT OF BLOCK FIVE.
AND, UH, IF YOU'D LIKE TO OPEN THE MEETING, UH, THE PUBLIC HERE, MAYOR.
AND WE'RE AN OPEN PUBLIC HEARING.
NO, MR. MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS, ALL WE ASK IS THAT YOU W WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU, UH, UH, UH, APPROVE.
IT'S ONLY THE TWO LOTS, AND WE WANT TO BUILD OUR HOME AND WE DIDN'T WANT TO BUILD IT IN JUST ONE AREA.
WE WANTED TO CENTER IT SIMPLE AS THAT.
MA'AM ARE YOU A DELLA FRANCESCA? YOU'RE THE PROPERTY OWNERS AND, YEAH, MY PLEASURE MEETING.
DO WE HAVE ANY POSITION OR ANY OPPOSITION? UH, WE WOULD POST THE NEWSPAPER AND SEND OUT NOTICES WITHIN A 200 FOOT RADIUS.
AND WE HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE.
I THINK IT'S A GOOD EVENT FOR THEM.
GO AHEAD AND MAKE ONE, ONE LONG, LIKE THE IDEA.
THAT'S CERTAINLY WHAT THE RIGHT BEHIND IT IS THAT THE OLD RAILROAD EAST EASEMENT BERNARD BEHIND THE TWO PROPERTIES, IS THAT THE OLD RAILROAD EAST SMITH? YES, SIR.
IF YOU'LL LOOK UP ON THE SCREEN FOR THE, FOR THE PUBLIC, WE THERE'S THE SITE YOU'LL SEE RIGHT ON THE, ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE RAILROAD KIND OF CURVES THERE.
SO IT'S TWO BLOCKS IN NORTH OF THE EXPRESSWAY ON SOUTH BOWIE.
UM, I'M COMPLETELY FINE WITH IT, BUT YOU KNOW, WHERE I STAND, LIKE WITH, UM, THE NECESSITY OF HAVING TO DO, TO DO THIS PROCESS, WE HAD SOMEONE COME FORWARD, YOU KNOW, A FEW WEEKS BACK WHERE THEY GOT DELAYED, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE REPLY.
IF SOMEONE'S GOING TO BUILD IN THE MIDDLE OF TWO LOTS, I JUST, I STILL CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE'RE DOING IT.
IF I THINK IT'S A WASTE OF TIME, I'VE CALLED OTHER CITIES AND OTHER CITIES COMPLETELY ALLOW IT JUST AS LONG AS ONE DOESN'T BUILD ON ONE LOT AND THEN BUILD SOMETHING ELSE ON ANOTHER.
IF YOU BUILD WITHIN BOTH LOTS, YOU'RE FINE.
BUT I THINK WE NEED TO REEVALUATE WHY WE'RE DOING THIS, THAT BY ORDINANCE, UH, STATE LAW.
SO IF IT'S STATE LAW, HOWARD, DID THESE OTHER CITIES ALLOW IT? I CAN NEVER SPEAK FOR OTHER CITIES OR HOW THEY DO THINGS.
NO, NOT THAT IT'S A PUBLIC HEARING.
ONCE WE CLOSE IT, IT'LL BE HANDLED.
SO TWO ITEMS. NOW LET'S JUST TALK TO, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE STATE LAW, IF WE CAN JUST MAYBE TALK TO AN ATTORNEY GENERAL STANDPOINT AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY, BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S DIFFERENT PROCESSES TO, TO PREVENT THE HOLDUP ON THESE TYPES OF THINGS THAT IF SOMEONE'S GOING TO BUILD RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE, THERE'S NO EAST SMITHS IN BETWEEN IT.
I D I'M STILL CAUGHT UP ON IT AND I ALWAYS WILL BE.
SO I'M ALL FOR THEM DOING IT, BUT WE, WE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND, BUT HERE WE ARE, WE STARTED THIS PROCESS IN.
SO, SO, SO THEN SINCE WE'RE HERE, RIGHT? LET ME EXPRESS TO REPLAT WHAT DOES IT COST? WHAT ARE THEY CHARGING YOU TO? REPLAT WHAT ARE THEY CHARGING? HAVE YOU REPLIED IT $4,000, $4,000 TO REPLAT YOUR LAND? YOU THINK YOU COULD HAVE USED THAT MAYBE FOR A BETTER FACADE, BETTER LANDSCAPING, ABSOLUTELY.
PUTTING IN THE SIDEWALK BETTER ROOF.
WELL, WE'RE REQUIRED BY THE CITY, RIGHT? BUT IT COULD OFFSET SOME OF YOUR COSTS.
I JUST THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT IT AGAIN.
I KNOW IT'S AN ORDINANCE, BUT IF, IF IT'S AN ATTRACTING SOMEONE TO ANOTHER CITY, BECAUSE THEY DON'T MAKE ME REPLY, HEY, GO FOR IT.
YOU'RE GOING TO BUILD IN THE MIDDLE.
MOST CITIES HAVE, WHAT'S CALLED A MINOR PLAT, AND THAT'S PART OF THE DISCUSSION, BUT A MINOR PLAT MEANS THAT, UH, WE'LL HAVE A PUBLIC HEARINGS THAT DONE ADMINISTRATIVELY.
YOU'LL NEVER GET TO DECIDED BECAUSE IT'LL NEVER MAKE IT TO THE DICE HERE.
AND IT'S HANDLED THE CITY AND THEY STILL HAVE TO DO A REPLY BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT STATE LAW IS.
[01:30:01]
IT JUST SPEEDS UP THE PROCESS THAT THE HOLDUP ISN'T STAFFED, THE HOLDUP IS THE PUBLIC HEARING IS GETTING IT ON YOUR MEETINGS, GETTING IT ON THE P AND Z.SO IF WE TAKE IT OUT OF THE, THE, THE PLANNING, ZONING, AND OUT OF THE CITY COMMISSION, BECAUSE LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A MINOR PLAN DONE AT A STAFF LEVEL.
WE DO THE, WE HANDLE IT, ALL, ALL OF THAT, BUT WE STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PLANNING.
I THINK, I THINK THAT THOSE LAWS ARE IN PLACE.
THE LAWS ARE IN PLACE FOR NEW SUBDIVISIONS.
YOU KNOW, IF THEY'RE NOT IN THE LAW STATES, THERE'S A, THERE'S A RADIUS STREET IN THE FRONT.
THERE'S ALREADY AN ALLEY IN THE BACK.
THERE'S ALREADY INFRASTRUCTURE IN THERE.
THEY STAY WITHIN THE MEETS AND BOUNDS.
THEY BUILD ON BOTH PROPERTIES, THEN THEY'RE FINE.
BUT IF THEY START BUILDING ONE, ONE, AND THEN BUILD ON ANOTHER, THEN I UNDERSTAND.
OR IF THEY START CUTTING IT UP INTO SMALLER LOTS, I UNDERSTAND.
I THINK WE JUST NEED TO RE-LOOK AT IT.
UH, HERE'S WHERE YOU'RE DOING.
THE CITIZENS OF DISSERVICE IS WHEN YOU ALLOW A STRUCTURE TO BE BUILT ACROSS PROPERTY LINES, I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY GOT THEIR FINANCING, BUT TITLE COMPANIES WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO VIOLATE THE SETBACKS PROPERTY LINES, CREATE SETBACKS.
SO THEREFORE YOU NOW HAVE A NON-CONFORMING PROPERTY IN NO MOST BANKING INSTITUTIONS THAT COME TO MRS. UH, MRS. MCGINNIS OFFICE SAYS, HEY, UH, WE'VE GOT A NONCONFORMING AND WE'VE GOT ISSUES HERE.
SO YOU'RE, IT'S, IT'S THESE LAWS AREN'T TO JUST PROTECT THE DEVELOPMENT THEY'RE TO PROTECT LAW BECAUSE YOU'RE, YOU'RE NOW PROTECTING THE INVESTORS, THE BANKERS THAT ARE ISSUING CLEAR TITLE, AND THAT YOU HAVE NO ENCUMBRANCES THAT YOU'RE NOT EMBELLISHING A SETBACKS.
AND IT WOULD BE A DISSERVICE TO THEM TO ALLOW THEM TO DO THAT.
AND THEN THEY ATTEMPT TO SELL THE HOUSE AND THEY INSPIRE.

HALF OF MY PROPERTY HAS AN ALLEY AND THE OTHER HALF DOESN'T.
SO THAT THAT'S MY WHO'S GOING TO MAINTAIN, UH, AS IS THE POWER HYDRO.
SO WHO MADE IT IS, IS IT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PROPERTY OWNER TO MAINTAIN THE ALLEYWAY PORTION? YES.
