          MANY DELAROSA PRESENT IS HONOR MARIN COMMISSIONERS. 
          GOOD EVENING. 
          YOU HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING THIS EVENING ON A VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION. 
          THAT INCLUDES THE, UM, THE 5.895 ACRES MARIN COMMISSIONER. 
          SO, UM, I WAS LOOKING AT AGENDA ITEM EIGHT, IF WE WANT TO OPEN THAT UP. 
          I WAS SEEING 
          [00:05:01]
IF THERE WAS ANYTHING IN THERE, UH, ON EXHIBITS. 
          UH, BUT I THINK, UH, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME PUBLIC SPEAKERS THAT ARE GOING TO ADDRESS THIS IS, UM, ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE NORTH SHORES OF THE RED SOCCER SHORTS SUBDIVISION, UH, WERE EARLY ROAD, WHICH SIT ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF, OF THIS DEVELOPMENT. 
          SO, AND RECYCLED SHORES WHERE IT DEAD ENDS, UH, CURRENTLY AS YOU COME OFF OF SAM HOUSTON BOULEVARD. 
          SO MARY, IF YOU'D LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, SO WE'RE GOING TO OPEN, UH, OPEN PUBLIC HEARING. 
          THE TIME IS 5 35 AND IT'S NOW OPEN UM, MY NAME IS BILL MCNUTT, 1 61 WE'RE SOCCER SHORTS BOULEVARD, SAN BENITO, TEXAS, IF YOU THINK I'M SLOW, WAIT TILL I START SPEAKING. 
          UH, I'M ALMOST 90 YEARS OLD AND WORDS COME OUT AND THEN MY BRAIN CATCHES UP A LITTLE BIT LATER. 
          SO IF I STUMBLE A LITTLE BIT, PLEASE, PLEASE FORGIVE ME. 
          UH, I'M PROBABLY THE, OH, I KNOW I'M PROBABLY THE OLDEST RESIDENT OUT THERE. 
          I'M ALSO ALSO THE LONGEST OUT THERE BECAUSE BEFORE RESTOCK SHORT STARTED, THERE WERE ONLY TWO HOMES OUT THERE, MYSELF AND MY BROTHER-IN-LAW AT THAT TIME, I BELIEVE IT WAS CARMEN SAVINGS ALONE. 
          IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN IS THE ONE WHO DEVELOPED THIS CELL DIVISION. 
          AND, UH, THEY TRIED TO GET THE LAND TO THE NORTH OF THERE WHO BELONGED TO GERALD RILEY, KILGORE. 
          BRIAN KYLA DID NOT WANT TO SELL. 
          SO A BROKER WENT OUT TO SPEAK TO HIM AND TRIED TO CONVINCE HIM, UH, GERALD RALEIGH KILGORE WAS A VERY CLOSE FRIEND OF MINE. 
          AND THIS BROKER TRIED TO TALK HIM INTO GOING ALONG WITH CARMEN AND DEVELOPING HIS SO THEY COULD GO A LITTLE WEIGHT TOO EARLY ROAD. 
          WELL, IT BROKE UP WAS, WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL. 
          AND I NOTICED FOR A FACT, BECAUSE I WAS THE BROKER AND I TRIED MY BEST, BUT HE WOULD NOT LISTEN. 
          HE DID NOT WANT THAT. 
          SO DIVISION TO GO THROUGH HIS CAUSE HE WANTED TO CLOSED OFF. 
          AND UNFORTUNATELY GERALD PASSED AWAY A COUPLE YEARS AGO AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY. 
          THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT WE HAVE NO SIDEWALKS OUT THERE. 
          AND IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN OUT THERE, WHICH I'M SURE ALL OF YOU HAVE, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE WALK THOSE SIDE, WALK THE STREETS EVERY DAY. 
          AND IF YOU OPEN UP YOUR SOCCER SHORTS BOULEVARD FROM SAM HOUSTON, ALL THE WAY TO LOVE IT, ROAD TO 77, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A SPEEDWAY AND THERE'S NO WAY YOU COULD STOP IT BECAUSE NOT EVERYBODY FOLLOWS THE SPEED LIMITS AND YOU HAVE PEOPLE WALKING THOSE STREETS. 
          I CAN, I'M NOT GOING TO GUARANTEE. 
          I'VE GOT TO SAY, I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO BE SOME ACCIDENTS OUT THERE. 
          SO YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER THE SAFETY FACTOR WHEN YOU MAKE THIS DECISION. 
          NOW, GENTLEMEN, WHEN WE VOTED FOR YOU, WE DIDN'T DO YOU ANY FAVOR, WILL YOU VOTE ON IT OR MAKE A DECISION? 50% OF THE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DISAGREE WITH YOU AT 50% OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO AGREE WITH YOU AND YOU JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH THAT. 
          BUT I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT EVEN THE PEOPLE BEHIND ME FROM THE SOCCER SHORTS DO APPRECIATE YOU. 
          DON'T, DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT. 
          W WHATEVER DECISION YOU MAKE, IT'S BECAUSE YOU HA YOU THINK IT'S THE RIGHT DECISION, BUT PLEASE LISTEN TO EVERYONE TODAY. 
          AND WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. 
          PLEASE CAN I NEED TO LEAVE PEOPLE? I'M SORRY, BUT I HAVE A WHITE, THAT'S NOT VERY QUICK SHAPE. 
          I NEED TO GET HOME. 
          THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SURE. 
          GOOD EVENING. 
          MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS AND STAFF. 
          UH, IF I COULD APPROACH, I'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU A COPY OF THE PETITION THAT OUR CITIZENS SIGNED. 
          I HAVE 65 SIGN PETITIONS THAT I WILL TURN INTO YOUR CITY SECRETARY, AND I'LL GIVE YOU A BLANK ONE, SO YOU CAN FIND IT LATER. 
          MY NAME IS VICTOR GARSA AND, UM, I LIVE AT 109 LAKE VIEW NORTH, AND MY WIFE AND FAMILY RESIDE THERE. 
          WE'VE BEEN THERE FOR IN CLOSE TO 20 YEARS. 
          MOST OF THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE THERE, LIKE MR. MCNAUGHT HAVE BEEN THERE A LONG TIME, MUCH LONGER THAN I HAVE. 
          AND, UH, THE REASON WE MOVED THERE WAS BECAUSE IT WAS QUIET. 
          IT WAS A PLACE THAT YOU COULD RAISE YOUR FAMILY AND TRAFFIC WAS, IS VERY MINIMAL AS MR. MCNAUGHT ALSO 
          [00:10:01]
STATED, YOU KNOW, IT IS A PLACE WHERE THE FAMILIES DO WALK QUITE A BIT FAMILIES, NOT JUST ADULTS. 
          AND SO IT IS IMPORTANT. 
          THE SAFETY FISH, UH, SITUATION IS IMPORTANT FOR US. 
          THE PETITION THAT I GAVE YOU BASICALLY, UH, THE RESIDENTS FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT TWO A, WHICH WAS READS. 
          WE OPPOSED THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION. 
          AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS IF YOU GO TO THE ANNEXATION WILL SIGNIFICANTLY AT THE TAIL END, WHERE IT'S IN PARENTHESIS, ANNEXATION WILL SIGNIFICANTLY SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE VEHICULAR TRAFFIC, MAKING IT UNSAFE FOR RESIDENTS TAKING WALKS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, DETERIORATE OUR STREETS FASTER AND OVERLOAD EXISTING DRAINAGE. 
          THOSE ARE SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE. 
          THE OTHER ONE IS ON LETTER B TO B. 
          WE ARE REQUESTING THAT THE END OF RASAKA SHORES BOULEVARD FROM OUR END BE LABELED A DEAD END STREET. 
          AND THAT WOULD ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEMS THAT MAY OCCUR IF YOU OPEN IT UP. 
          AND THE THIRD THING THAT WE HAVE ON THERE, WHICH IS C TWO C, WHICH STATES THE CITY OF SALMONELLA SHOULD REQUIRE ANY DEVELOPER TO BUILD A NEW LIFT STATION WITHIN THEIR PROPOSED NEW SUBDIVISION. 
          INSTEAD OF TAPPING INTO THE EXISTING LIFT STATION, LOCATED AT THE END OF HER SOCCER SHORT BOULEVARD, THE SITUATION THAT WE ARE IN, IF THE ANNEXATION AND THE ROAD IS OPENED, CREATES A LOT OF ANTI-PROGRESS. 
          WE WANT PROGRESS AS WELL. 
          WE WANT SUBDIVISIONS TO GO UP, BUT WE DON'T WANT A CREATE A CONFLICT. 
          WE DON'T WANT TO SEE A CONFLICT WITHIN OUR SUBDIVISION AND A NEW SUBDIVISION COMING IN AND BECOMING A DANGER TO OUR RESIDENTS. 
          NOT ONLY A DANGER, BUT EVERY BRICK, EVERY PIECE OF LUMBER, EVERY DROP OF CEMENT IS GOING TO DRIVE THROUGH SOCCER SHORTS BOULEVARD. 
          IF IT IS OPENED UP, THAT'S A LOT OF, AND THAT'S ABOUT WHAT? 41, 41, LOTS IN MY RIGHT. 
          YES. 
          THAT'S ABOUT 41. 
          LOTS THAT EVERY BRICK, EVERY PIECE OF CEMENT, EVERY PIECE OF WOOD WE'LL DRIVE IN FRONT OF SOMEBODY'S HOME THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS. 
          THIS NEIGHBORHOOD HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE FOR ABOUT 50 YEARS. 
          IF NOT MORE, THAT SHOULD BE SOME CONSIDERATION. 
          IF YOU WANT. 
          WHAT, WHAT I LEARNED TODAY IS TWO THINGS THAT I LEARNED TODAY. 
          AND, UH, IF YOU GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO LISTEN, MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY AT THE WHITE HOUSE, HE MENTIONED TWO VERY IMPORTANT THINGS, TRUE PROGRESS, TEARING UP THIS, THIS RESIDENT, THIS CURRENT NEIGHBORHOOD IS NOT PART OF TRUE PROGRESS. 
          CREATING WHAT YOU WANT TO CREATE IS FINE, BUT WE HAVE OUR OWN ENTRANCE. 
          WE HAVE OUR OWN EXIT. 
          THE OTHER SIDE HAS GOT THE SAME THING. 
          THEY'VE GOT THEIR OWN ENTRANCE AND EXIT. 
          THE SUBDIVISION SHOULD HAVE THE SAME THING FOR SAFETY REASONS, FOR GROWTH REASONS. 
          SO I REQUEST AS PART OF THE RESIDENCE THAT YOU CONSIDER TRUE PROGRESS. 
          AND THE OTHER THING THAT, THAT I LEARNED TODAY THAT I MAY MENTION TO YOU IS COMMON SENSE. 
          THE COMMON SENSE FACTOR DEALS WITH DRAINAGE DEALS WITH THE LIFT STATION. 
          THEY CAN ALWAYS GIVE UP ONE OF THEIR LOTS, WHICH IS MONEY TO THEM AND CREATE THEIR OWN LIST STATION AS IT IS. 
          THEY'RE PLANNING ON SENDING THE WAIST OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND THEN PASS IT BACK TO THE OTHER DIRECTION. 
          THAT'S NOT COMMON SENSE WOULD TELL YOU THAT'S NOT THE WAY TO GO, BUT ANYWAY, I KNOW, I KNOW I'M IN A TIME FACTOR HERE TOO. 
          SO TRUE CROP PROGRESS IS NOT TO DESTROY OUR, OUR SUBDIVISION IT'S TO CREATE SOMETHING NEW AND WATCH IT GROW. 
          WE DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT AREA GROW AND TEAR UP OUR STREETS, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANYBODY ELSE? GOOD AFTERNOON. 
          UH, MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS. 
          MY NAME IS  CALL ME ZEKE. 
          AND I'VE BEEN IN THE RECYCLE SHORE SUBDIVISION FOR THE LAST 33 YEARS OR SO. 
          AND, UM, I RESIDED, UH, AT A 1 77 LAKE VIEW NORTH. 
          UM, I, UM, I'M A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED ON, ON, ON, UH, ON, UH, FROM THE ANGLE, FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF, UH, UH, ADEQUATE DRAINAGE FOR THE, OUR EXISTING SUBDIVISION. 
          UM, YOU ALL ARE, UH, HAVE BEEN IN SOMEBODY'S INTO FOR AWHILE. 
          UH, I HAVE, UH, IN, UH, I'M NOT GONNA GO AS FAR BACK AS 1992. 
          YOU ALL KNEW WHAT HAPPENED BACK THEN. 
          UH, 2005. 
          I, UH, I BELIEVE THERE WAS ANOTHER FLOOD ISSUE IN SOME, IN SOME OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS IN SAN BENITO. 
          [00:15:01]
UH, MOST RECENTLY, UH, OCTOBER THE FIRST, UH, 2000 OR 2021. 
          UM, I DECIDED TO TAKE A NAP OF ALL THINGS WHEN I SHOULDN'T HAVE, AND I'M NOT KIDDING YOU. 
          I, I MUST HAVE TAKEN A NAP FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES WHEN I WOKE UP MY HOUSE WAS STARTING TO GET FLOODED. 
          AND SO I SKIRTED QUICKLY AND I WENT OUTSIDE AND I LOOKED AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          AND IN LO AND BEHOLD, THERE WAS A LOT OF RAIN COMING DOWN FOR 30 MINUTES, 45 MINUTES. 
          UNBELIEVABLE. 
          AND, AND I HAVE A PICTURE FOR YOU TO KIND OF LOOK AT DON'T DON'T MISTAKE THE PICTURE FOR THEIR SOCCER. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, AND, UM, SO THIS IS A PICTURE OF LAKE VIEW NORTH, AND, UH, IT'S PRETTY FLOODED. 
          UH, THE, THE, THE WATER CAME UP TO ABOUT SIX INCHES ABOVE THE CURVE. 
          AND, UH, I'M, I'M JUST SAYING 30 MINUTES, MAYBE, MAYBE 40 MINUTES. 
          AND, AND SO MY CONCERN FOR YOU ALL IS TO, AND FOR US IS TO DECIDE WHO IS GOING TO, UH, COORDINATE WITH THE DEVELOPER, WHETHER IT BE THE, THE CITY COMMISSION, WHETHER IT BE THE ZONING, PLANNING AND ZONING, WHETHER IT BE THE ENFORCEMENT CODE DEPARTMENT, UH, WHETHER IT BE THE, THE, THE, UH, UM, DRAINAGE DISTRICT, NUMBER THREE, UH, I BELIEVE, UH, WE NEED TO FINE TUNE THE DEVELOPER'S PLANS IF I'M SURE THEY, THEY HAVE, UH, UH, SOME ACCOMMODATION FOR THAT. 
          AND I'M SURE THAT THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO DO THAT, BUT THERE HAS TO BE SOME COORDINATION BETWEEN THE COMMISSION AND THE CITY DEPARTMENTS, AS WELL AS DRAINAGE DISTRICT. 
          NUMBER THREE, I SPOKE WITH MS. SONIA LAMB LAMBERG, UH, WHO IS ONE OF THE, UH, SUPERVISORY OR MANAGEMENT PEOPLE AT A IRRIGATION DISTRICT, OR I'M SORRY, THE DRAIN IS DISTRICT NUMBER THREE. 
          SHE WAS VERY COOPERATIVE. 
          SHE WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING FOR ME TO CALL HER AND, AND, AND HEAR ME OUT. 
          AND MY CONCERN AGAIN IS, UH, ENSURING THAT THERE'S ADEQUATE DRAINAGE CAPACITY BUILT INTO THE SYSTEM THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE IF NECESSARY, THE DEVELOPER MAY HAVE TO EXPAND OR IMPROVE, EXPAND THE EXISTING DRAINAGE THAT WE HAVE TO ACCOMMODATE 41 UNITS OF THE PROPOSED NEW SUBDIVISION. 
          NOW, SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT WHEN, WHEN RAIN HITS OR WHEN WE GO THROUGH RAIN IN A SUBDIVIDED AREA, IT IS NOT THE SAME AS WATER RUNOFFS RUNNING OFF FROM, UH, OPEN LAND, AS OPPOSED TO ASPHALT AND SIDEWALKS AND STREETS AND HOMES, NEWLY BUILT HOMES. 
          SO I ASKED THE COMMISSION NUMBER ONE TO TWO FACTOR IN A NECESSARY INVESTMENT. 
          I'M NOT GOING TO SAY THE WORD SPENDING, I'M GOING TO USE THE WORD INVESTMENT, INVESTING INTO THE NEW SUBDIVISION, INTO THE NEW STREETS SYSTEM THAT THAT WOULD ADEQUATELY PROVIDE THE HEALER TRAFFIC TO AND FRO INTO THE NEW SUBDIVISION FOR THE DEVELOPER TO INVEST SUFFICIENT MONIES WITHOUT THE CITY, HAVING TO PERSON OR SPEND SOME OF THEIR MONEY TO BUILD HIS NEW SUBDIVISION. 
          I WOULD URGE THE COMMISSION TO REQUIRE THE DEVELOPER, UH, ADEQUATE PLANS TO ASSURE THAT WE HAVE NEW STREETS AND NEW DRAINAGE SYSTEMS IN PLACE BEFORE YOU ALL DECIDE TO, TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS PROJECT. 
          I AM ALSO FOR A GROWTH, BUT LET'S DO, LET'S BE PROACTIVE, AND LET'S BE A LITTLE BIT MORE METICULOUS IN ANALYZING AND, AND, AND ZEROING IN ON SOME OF THE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS WE COULD HAVE. 
          THE PICTURE I SHOWED YOU IS ONE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE ADDING 41 MORE, UH, HOME UNITS WILL DEFINITELY PUT A LOAD ON THE EXISTING DRAINAGE SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE NOT TO MENTION THE STREET. 
          UH, WE'RE INTERIOR GENTLEMEN. 
          I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. 
           ANYBODY ELSE, MR. MAYOR AND COMMISSIONER  ONE 60 LEGO NORTH. 
          I'M HERE TO SAY, UM, UH, THE SPEAKER LAST TIME MR. RAMIREZ REPRESENTING THE DEVELOPMENT WAS SAYING THAT THE WATER DISTRICT DIDN'T ALLOW THEM TO PAY THE EXISTING COLLEGIAL ROAD. 
          I, OH, WELL, I'M SAYING MAYBE THE DEVELOPER CAN PURCHASE LAND NEXT TO THAT STREET, PAVE IT. 
          AND IT'S A PLUS FOR THE CITIZENS THERE, 
          [00:20:01]
AND THAT'S THEIR OWN ENTRANCE. 
          DON'T SACRIFICE. 
          OUR NEIGHBORHOOD GROWTH IS BEAUTIFUL. 
          WE NEED IT. 
          AND THIS LITTLE SMALL TOWN OF SAN BENITO, AND I JUST TALKED TO ONE OF THE PERSONS THAT LIVES THERE AND HE, AND HE LOVES MONEY. 
          HE'S UP TO IT. 
          SO LET THEM PAY FOR THIS SUBDIVISION. 
          DON'T SACRIFICE OUR PEACEFUL NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          THANK YOU. 
          GOOD EVENING. 
          MY NAME IS . 
          UH, I LIVE ON EARLY ROAD, LITTLE DIFFERENT SIDE TO THEM. 
          I'M ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THIS PROPERTY THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. 
          UH, I'VE GOT ABOUT THREE ACRES THERE. 
          MY HOME'S BUILT ON THAT AND I I'M BORDER THAT, THAT NORTHERN SIDE OF THE, OF THE PROPERTY. 
          UM, I HAD A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT THOUGHTS ON THIS. 
          UH, AS FAR AS MYSELF, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE ISSUES LIKE MR RON SAYS IS DRAINAGE. 
          YOU KNOW, I HAVE THE DRAINAGE DITCH THAT RUNS ALONG MY PROPERTY THAT COMES AND DRAINS ALL OF THAT RECYCLE SHORES AREA. 
          SO I SEE THE LEVELS WHEN IT RAINS AND WHAT HAPPENS THERE. 
          SO THAT IS A CONCERN THAT MAKES SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING IS THERE BECAUSE IT TAKES A LONG TIME FOR THAT TO DRAIN THROUGH SOME OF THE DIFFERENT CULVERTS AND STUFF. 
          SO IT COULD BE A PROBLEMATIC ALL THESE 25 ACRES TAKING IT OUT OF AGRICULTURE, PUTTING ROADS, GUTTERS, AND EVERYTHING. 
          SO DEFINITELY AN ISSUE OR CONCERN ON MY PART BECAUSE I SEE THAT THAT'S RIGHT NEXT TO MY HOME. 
          YOU KNOW, I SEE THAT RISE IN THAT FALL COULD BE SOME ISSUES THERE. 
          SO AS LONG AS EVERYBODY'S THERE, I'M NOT OPPOSED. 
          AND, AND, YOU KNOW, TO THE SUBDIVISION PER SE, I ALWAYS ASSUMED IT WOULD BE ONE. 
          UH, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ACCESS, YOU KNOW, I REALIZE NOBODY WANTS THE TRAFFIC TO INCREASE. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, WHEN, WHEN I LOOK AT SAYING THAT, WELL, WE'RE NOT GOING TO ALLOW IT GO OUT TO THE, EITHER ONE OR THE OTHER SOCCER SHORE STREET. 
          IT NEEDS TO COME THROUGH EARLY ROAD. 
          AND THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS THERE THAT I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT. 
          CAUSE THAT'S WHERE MY GATE IS. 
          I'M THE FIRST PROPERTY THERE. 
          UH, THERE'S ABOUT 10 OF US, EIGHT, ABOUT EIGHT OR NINE OF US THAT LIVE ON THAT ROAD RIGHT THERE. 
          UH, ONE OF MY CONCERNS IS IF YOU CLOSE OFF THOSE OTHER TWO RASAKA SHORES, DELAYED TIME FOR EMERGENCY RESPONSE FOR US, SAY FIRE DEPARTMENT, COME THROUGH EVERYBODY, PLUS YOUR SUBDIVISION. 
          NOW YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ROUTE ALL THE EMERGENCY VEHICLES AROUND FROM SAN JOSE RANCH ROAD. 
          SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT SAFETY, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE PLUS THEM TO JUST TO GO TO HEB OR GO TO, TO COME TO CITY HALL. 
          THEY'VE GOT TO GO ALL THE WAY OUT INTO THE COUNTY TO COME AROUND. 
          SO FOR ME, THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. 
          SO I'VE ALWAYS ASSUMED THERE'D BE ALL THREE ACCESSES, YOU KNOW, Y'ALL ARE GONNA DO WHATEVER Y'ALL DECIDE TO DO, BUT, UH, I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S FAIR TO THESE NEW SAN BENITO RESIDENTS TO BE GOING TO BE PAY CITY TAXES AND NOT TO BE ABLE TO USE CITY ACCESS. 
          YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO OUT IN THE COUNTY. 
          THE OTHER THING IS I'VE DEALT WITH THE COUNTY A LOT, CAUSE I'M ON THAT COUNTY ROAD. 
          I DEAL WITH MS. MS. MS. LAMBERT, THAT THEY WERE COMING AT THE IRRIGATION BRINGS DISTRICTS A LOT. 
          UM, AND THEY'RE REAL GOOD. 
          YOU KNOW, WE HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THAT ROAD ALL THE TIME. 
          IT'S A COLLEGIAL ROAD. 
          NO, IT'S IT. 
          PEOPLE GOING UP AND DOWN IT. 
          AND, AND SO IT'S LITTLE, IT TAKES A LOT OF MAINTENANCE AND THE COUNTY, YOU KNOW, IS, IS, IS DELAYED. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT SURE IF ANYBODY'S GOING TO TALK TO THE COUNTY, BUT I GOT A FEELING THAT THEY WOULD BE OPPOSED TO. 
          Y'ALL PUTTING A NEW SUBDIVISION IN AND SENDING ALL THAT TRAFFIC OUT THROUGH THE COUNTY ROAD. 
          YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? SO IT'S JUST SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. 
          UH, THEY'VE TALKED ABOUT PAVING AND THAT WAS THE FIRST, YOU KNOW, I, UH, YOU KNOW, THEY ASKED ME HOW FAR OUR HOUSE IS. 
          A FEW OF THE HOUSES ARE PROBABLY 75 FOOT OFF OF EXISTING EARLY ROAD, WHICH IS A COLLEGIAL ROAD. 
          SO IF YOU WERE TO PARALLEL THAT YOU'RE PUTTING IT, YOU KNOW, 25 FOOT FROM THEIR DOOR, YOU'RE TAKING THE FRONT DOOR AWAY FOR A LOT OF THEM. 
          UH, IF YOU COULD PAVE THIS, THE EXISTING WORDY ROAD, YOU KNOW, THAT, THAT, BUT I, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW, THE IRRIGATION DISTRICT ALREADY SAID TO THE, TO THE SUBDIVISION THAT THEY COULD COULDN'T USE THAT AS THEIR ROAD, BECAUSE THEY DO HAVE TO GET IN THERE WITH THEIR TRACK HOSE AND CLEAN THE DEAL. 
          SO THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT ISSUES THERE. 
          AGAIN, I'M NOT OPPOSED TO THE SUBDIVISION. 
          I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU ALL UNDERSTAND ON THAT SITE. 
          UH, ONE IS, IS, IS THE EMERGENCY VEHICLE ACCESS, YOU KNOW, IT'S GONNA, IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY, REALLY A BIG, BIG, UH, INCREASE OF TIME RESPONDING AND STUFF LIKE THAT. 
          SO ANYWAY, THAT'S, THAT'S ALL IT WAS. 
          THANK YOU ALL FOR LISTENING. 
          APPRECIATE IT. 
          I THINK I MISSED ANYBODY ELSE. 
          NOPE,  HELLO. 
          I'M MOLLY. 
          AS SOON AS I LIVE ON JUST SHORTS BOULEVARD AND, UM, I'M SURE THEY'VE ADDRESS SOME OF THE ISSUES. 
          YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE, SIR, I'M SORRY. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          THAT IS, SIR. 
          CAN YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS? I WOULD ASSUME SUA 7 49 FOR A SECOND SHORES BOULEVARD. 
          I APOLOGIZE FOR BEING LATE, BUT I DIDN'T GET EVERYTHING, ALL THE CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP, BUT ONE CONCERN 
          [00:25:01]
THAT REALLY, UM, I HIT ME TODAY WAS, UH, WHAT THEY'RE DOING TO THE IRRIGATION DITCH. 
          THAT'S ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THAT DEVELOPMENT. 
          IT SEEMS LIKE, AND I'VE GOT A PICTURE HERE. 
          I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO PRINT OUT COPIES, BUT I'D BE GLAD TO SHARE IT. 
          IT SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE SCRAPING DIRT FROM THE IRRIGATION DITCH AND PILE IT INTO THEIR SUBDIVISION. 
          THERE NEEDS SUBDIVISION. 
          AND THAT TO ME IS A CONCERN BECAUSE THE, UM, THE INTEGRITY OF THAT IRRIGATION DITCH OR CANAL, IF YOU WISH, UM, IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE WEAKENED, THAT DIRT IS BEING USED TO FILL IN THE NORTH PART OF THAT SUBDIVISION, WHICH IS IN THE FLOOD ZONE. 
          I THINK ON THE FEMA MAPS ONLINE, YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S ON THE A ZERO OR EIGHT OH FLOOD ZONE. 
          AND THIS LAST RECENT RAINS THAT WE GOT FLOODED THAT WHOLE NORTH AREA ALONG, THAT RUNS RIGHT ALONG THAT IRRIGATION DITCH FOR TWO OR THREE DAYS, THEY'D HAVE STARTED TO REMEDY THAT. 
          APPARENTLY THEY, THEY SAW A PROBLEM WITH THAT. 
          AND, UH, I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE RIGHT SOLUTION. 
          THEY'RE TAKING DIRT FROM THE IRRIGATION CANAL AND PUTTING IT ON TO THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION OVER THE MARKET SUBDIVISION. 
          UM, AND AGAIN, THE, UH, THE BIGGEST CONCERN IS AGAIN, THE POSSIBLE FLOODING AND, YOU KNOW, DAMAGE TO THE, UH, TO THE DRAINAGE DITCH. 
          UM, I'D BE GLAD TO SHARE THE PICTURE OF Y'ALL. 
          HAVEN'T SEEN WHAT'S GOING ON OUT THERE KIND OF IT TO YOU. 
          YEAH. 
          THAT WAS IT. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANYBODY ELSE? NOPE, JUST SIR. 
          MR. . 
          GO AHEAD. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I DID WANT TO MAKE A FEW COMMENTS. 
          MY NAME IS VICTOR GUTIERREZ. 
          I LIVE AT, UH, 2 0 1 KISLING AVENUE AND ROB STONE. 
          UH, I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF MR. . 
          THEY ARE THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY AND THE DEVELOPERS, AND THEY ARE FROM BROWNSVILLE. 
          THEY'VE BEEN WAITING A LITTLE OVER 15 YEARS TO DEVELOP THIS PROPERTY. 
          UH, THE ONLY REASON THEY DIDN'T IS THEY DIDN'T OWN ALL OF IT. 
          AND IT WASN'T UNTIL, UH, THE GENTLEMEN THAT WAS MENTIONED EARLIER PASSED AWAY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, THEY WERE ABLE TO ACQUIRE THE ADDITIONAL PROPERTY TO MAKE UP THE FULL 26 ACRES. 
          SO THE CURRENT AGENDA, SIR, NOW THE CURRENT, THE CURRENT AGENDA ITEM IS FOR ANNEXATION. 
          SO THE ANNEXATION OF THE, UM, THE CURRENT ANNEXATION, UH, ITEM IS TO ANNEX THE, THE ADDITIONAL FIVE ACRES OR SO INTO THE REST OF IT. 
          WE DO HAVE, WE DO HAVE A PORTION THAT'S INSIDE THE CITY LIMITS ALREADY. 
          THE ONE WITH THE RAMON. 
          BENNY, CAN YOU SIT THE DOORS PLEASE? 
          [00:30:01]
YEAH. 
          CHIEF PLUS THE DOORS. 
          YES. 
          CLOSE THOSE DOORS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SORRY. 
          IN THIS EXHIBIT THAT I'VE JUST PASSED OUT. 
          THERE'S A RED CROSS HAT STEREO, AND THERE'S A GREEN SHADED AREA THAT I POINTED OUT AND THAT'S A SUBSEQUENT AGENDA ITEM FOR REZONING. 
          SO THE GREEN PART IS ALREADY INSIDE THE CITY LIMITS. 
          THE RED CROSS HATCHED AREA IS NOT INSIDE THE CITY LIMITS AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ANNEX. 
          THE ENTIRE AREA WILL BE A LITTLE OVER 26 ACRES THAT WE WOULD PROPOSE TO DEVELOP. 
          UM, IN ADDITION TO, UH, ONE KEY COMMENT THAT I WANTED TO MAKE IS DURING THE ANNEXATION PROCESS, WHICH IS IN PROGRESS NOW WITH PUBLIC HEARINGS AND READINGS OF THE ORDINANCE, UH, I WANTED TO ADD IF AT ALL POSSIBLE THAT WE SHOULD IT BE FAVORABLE THAT UPON THE SECOND READING OF THE ORDINANCE AND APPROVAL BY THE CITY COUNCIL, UH, SHOULD WE GET THERE ON THE 21ST? WE WOULD LIKE THAT TRACK OF LAND TO ALSO BE PRESUMED AS A SF ONE, SINGLE FAMILY ONE. 
          OKAY. 
          AS YOU CAN SEE THAT THE, THE SUBDIVISION TO THE NORTHWEST AND THE SOCCER SHORE IS SUBDIVISION. 
          THEY'RE BOTH SINGLE FAMILY WHEN WE GET DONE. 
          AND IF IT'S ALL FAVORABLE, IT WOULD ALL BE YELLOW AND SINGLE FAMILY ONE ZONED. 
          SO IN ADDITION TO THE ANNEXATION, WE'D LIKE YOU TO CONSIDER THAT IT'D BE PRESENTED. 
          I'VE WORKED ON THREE ANNEXATIONS IN THE PAST, PROBABLY ONE OF THE LARGEST CORPUS CHRISTI EVER DID. 
          AND TWO FOR THE CITY OF ROB STOUT. 
          AND IN ALL THREE CASES, WE PRESUMED, UH, PROPERTIES BASED ON THEIR CURRENT OR PROPOSED USE AFTER INTERVIEWS WITH THE LANDOWNERS. 
          SO IT'S, WE WERE ABLE TO DO THAT. 
          AND I'M JUST ASKING, IN ADDITION TO THE ANNEXATION THAT IT COME IN, NOT AS AGRICULTURAL PROPERTY, BUT HAVE IT PRE-SOLD SO IT'S ALL  AND READY TO BE DEVELOPED. 
          SO THAT'S THE ADDITIONAL COMMENT I WANTED TO MAKE REGARDING I DO. 
          I DO HAVE SOME OTHER MINOR COMMENTS WITH RESPECT TO DEVELOPMENT AND THE ORDINANCES THAT THE CITY HAS, THE CITY JUST PASSED A NEW ORDINANCE, OUR DEVELOPMENT, AND MAYBE THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE COMING TO THE CITY OF SAN BENITO. 
          WE'LL BE HAVING TO MEET THE STRICTEST REQUIREMENTS THAT THE CITY HAS EVER HAD. 
          AND SOME OF THOSE HAVE TO DO WITH DRAINAGE. 
          SO WHEN THE PUBLIC, I HEARD IT NUMEROUS TIMES, THAT DRAINAGE WAS AN ISSUE. 
          OKAY. 
          SOME OF THE, SOME OF THE PROPERTY IN RASAKA SHORES DRAINS THROUGH THIS PROPERTY, BUT IT'S, IT, IT DRAINS THROUGH THAT DRAINAGE DITCH THAT THAT'S ALONG THE PERIMETER, ALL OF THAT WILL BE UNDER, UNDER CONSIDERATION. 
          THE CITY HAS A, AN ENGINEER ON A CONSULTING BASIS AND PROBABLY SEVERAL FIRMS THAT SERVE THE CITY OF SAN BENITO. 
          WE HAVE NOT STARTED CONSTRUCTION. 
          I KNOW THAT SOMEBODY MENTIONED THAT DIRT WAS BEING MOVED AND IT, THAT'S NOT US, WHOEVER THAT IS, THAT'S NOT US. 
          SO I WANTED TO CLEAR THAT UP. 
          SO DRAINAGE IS AN ISSUE. 
          WE'LL MEET THE STRICTEST REQUIREMENTS IN MOVING FORWARD. 
          UH, THEY MENTIONED, THEY'RE CONCERNED THAT THERE ARE NO SIDEWALKS. 
          THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL HAVE SIDEWALKS. 
          THEY WILL HAVE SIDEWALKS, CURB, AND GUTTER STREET LIGHTING SO THAT IT IS SAFE AND DURING THE DAY AND AT NIGHT AS WELL. 
          SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR FAVORABLE CONSIDERATION ON THE ANNEXATION, AND I'LL BE BACK UP IN A FEW MINUTES, UH, WHEN YOU GET TO THE OTHER ITEM RELATED TO, IS IT ALL MAYOR COMMISSIONERS BEFORE MR. GUTIERREZ STEPS AWAY, UH, THAT ORDINANCE THAT YOU ADOPTED HERE ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO ALSO INCLUDED A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS THAT WAS VERY SPECIFIC TO THE RUSSELL RANCH PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT OFFER LOVE IT. 
          AND RUSSELL. 
          SO WE PROVIDED THAT NOT ONLY TO THIS ENGINEER AND HIS CLIENTS, BUT ALSO TO EVERY DEVELOPER THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH. 
          SO, UM, SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO ADDRESS IF YOU WANT TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS ON THAT. 
          TIA. 
          YEAH. 
          THE SO THERE'S TRAFFIC, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE TOUGHEST THINGS YOU CAN DO TO A DEVELOPMENT IS TO LANDLOCK IT, OKAY, TO CUT IT OFF FROM THE REST OF THE CITY. 
          IF YOU LOOK AT THE SOUTHERN COMFORT SUBDIVISION, BUT SOCCER SHORES WAS STUBBED TOWARDS THE SOCCER SHORES AS IF THEY WERE GOING TO BE AN EXTENSION. 
          IF YOU LOOK AT THE E FROM AN AERIAL VIEW, A REAL PHOTO, IF YOU LOOK AT A SOCCER SHORE SUBDIVISION TO SOCCER SHORES BOULEVARD WAS STUBBED TO THE NORTHWEST AS IF IT CONTINUATION, WE'RE GOING TO HAPPEN THIS DEVELOPMENT 
          [00:35:01]
AFTER THIS DEVELOPMENT PROPOSES TO FINALLY CONNECT, MAKE THAT CONNECTION. 
          SO THAT FOR EMS, FOR THE CITIZENS, FOR CHILDREN THAT ARE EITHER GO ON A BICYCLE, VISITING FRIENDS AND NOT HAVING TO GO ALL THE WAY AROUND, IT BRINGS CONNECTIVITY TO THE REST OF SAN BENITO AND THIS AREA. 
          AND SO THAT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS, WE WILL HAVE TO TURN IN. 
          IT'S GOING TO TAKE, UH, TRAFFIC INTO ACCOUNT IN ALL DIRECTIONS ON THE SOCCER SHORES AND EARLY ROAD. 
          LASTLY, THE, WE DID, UH, ADDRESS EARLY ROAD, THE CULICHI ROAD WITH THE DRAINAGE AND IRRIGATION DISTRICT. 
          THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED. 
          WE OFFERED TO PAVE IT, CARBON GUTTER, IT PUT DRAINAGE, ET CETERA. 
          THEY DECLINED OUR OFFER. 
          SO WE HAVE A SITE PLAN THAT HAS A PARALLEL STREET. 
          I MEAN, IT IS PARALLEL TO THE KHALEEJI DRIVE ON THIS PROPERTY, AND IT WILL HAVE CURB AND GUTTER, SIDEWALKS, LIGHTING, ET CETERA, THAT PROVIDES A, UH, A CONNECTION TO EARLY ROAD, AS WELL AS A T INTERSECTION AT A SOCCER SHORES. 
          SO I'LL HOPE THAT ADDRESSES A LOT OF THE CONCERNS THAT THE CITIZENS HAD. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU, SIR. 
          YEAH, THE QUESTIONS. 
          NOPE. 
          THEN, UH, THE TIME IS, UH, 6 0 6 AND WE'RE CLOSING PUBLIC HEARING. 
          OKAY. 
          AND 
          [8. First Reading of Ordinance Number 2602-06-2022(Z) regarding the Voluntary Annexation of 5.895 Acres, being part of and out of Lots 5, 6, 9, and 10, Block 85 of the San Benito Land and Water Company Subdivision, according to the map thereof recorded under Volume 1 Page 25 of the map records Cameron County, Texas. Applicant: Silicon Technologies, LLC.]
IN NUMBER EIGHT FIRST WEEK, ORDINANCE NUMBER 26 0 2 DASH ZERO SIX DASH 2 0 2 2 Z. 
          REGARDING THE, UH, VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION, A 5.895 ACRES OF BEING PART OF AN OUTER BLOCK, 5, 6, 9, AND 10 BLOCK, 85 SEMINOLE LAND AND WATER COMPANY SUBDIVISION. 
          ACCORDING TO THE MAP, THEY'RE UP RECORDED UNDER VOLUME ONE PAGE 25 OF THE MAP RECORDS, CAMERON COUNTY, TEXAS APPLICANT, SILICONE, UH, TECHNOLOGISTS, LLC, AND MR. DELAROSA PRESENTED MARIN COMMISSIONERS. 
          THIS IS AGENDA ITEM NUMBER EIGHT T A. 
          THIS IS THE FIRST READING, NO ACTION TO BE TAKEN. 
          IT'S ALSO THE, UH, THE COMMENTS YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT THIS, THIS ACREAGE TO BE ANNEXED INTO THE CITY LIMITS, UH, TO JOIN THE OTHER ACRES IT'S ALREADY IN THE CITY. 
          SO, UM, I THINK I LIKE THAT, THAT I THINK THAT, UH, UH, MR. GUTIERREZ DID MAKE A VALID POINT AND I DID HAVE THIS CONVERSATION WITH THE PLANNING MANAGER THAT, UH, AS WE MOVE FORWARD, UH, AND WE DO THAT SECOND READING AND WHATEVER OCCURS AT THAT POINT, THAT WILL PROBABLY BECAUSE EVEN THIS WILL REQUIRE THE NEW TRACK. 
          THAT'S GOING TO BE, UM, RIZA REZONING IN X, AND THE SECOND READING NEEDS A PUBLIC HEARING FOR A REZONING. 
          SO WE'LL PROBABLY TRY TO MIRROR THEM AT THE SAME TIME HERE, ALL THE COMMENTS AT ONE TIME BEFORE YOU TAKE FINAL ACTION ON IT. 
          SO IT MAY MAKE IT THE NEXT MEETING, OR I MAY HAVE TO PUBLISH IT. 
          SO I JUST, WE NEED TO LOOK AT THOSE STATUTES AND WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE COMPLIANT WITH THAT. 
          AND IF NOT, THEN IT GOES THROUGH A ANNEXATION, IT GETS ZONED SOMETHING PROBABLY AOL. 
          THEN IT GOES THROUGH THE REZONING, WHICH IS TYPICALLY TYPICALLY HOW THESE THINGS COME IN. 
          SO AN AOB IN THE AGRICULTURE. 
          SO ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? OKAY. 
          NO ACTION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          NUMBER EIGHT, NO ACTIONS. 
          [9. Public Hearing: To solicit input regarding a request to Rezone a property located at the intersection of Resaca Shores and Early Road, bearing a legal description of, 20.33 acres being part of Lots 8, 9, and 10 of Block 85 of the San Benito Land and Water Company Subdivision, according to the Map thereof recorded under Volume 1, Page 25 of the Map Records of Cameron County, Texas, from AO Agriculture and Open Space to SF-1 "Single Family One". Applicant: Silicon Technologies, LLC.]
I DIDN'T REMEMBER NINE PUBLIC HEARING TO SOLICITOR REGARDING THE REQUEST OR TO REZONE THE PROPERTY LOCATED IN THE INTERSECTION OF  AND ERNIE WROTE BURNER LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF 20.3, THREE ACRES OF BEING PART OF LOT EIGHT, NINE, AND 10, A BLOCK, UH, 85, UH, SEMINAR LAND AND WATER COMPANIES OF DIVISION. 
          ACCORDING TO THE MAP, THE RUBBER RECORDING VOLUME ONE PAGE 25, THE MAP RECORDS OF CAMERON COUNTY, TEXAS FROM EIGHT OH AGRICULTURE TO OPEN SPACE AS ONE SINGLE FAMILY APPLICATION AND APPLICANT SILICON TECHNOLOGIES, LLC. 
          AND MR. DELAROSA PERCENTAGE AMERICA MENTIONED, UH, BEFORE YOU OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, THIS IS THE, UM, THE REZONING OF LAND THAT'S ALREADY WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS. 
          IT'S THIS, UH, 20.33 ACRES. 
          SO IF YOU LOOK AT IT, IT'S THAT THE GREEN COLOR, MR. GUTIERREZ GAVE YOU A COPY OF THE MAP TO WHAT CURRENTLY ZONE. 
          SO YOU'LL SEE THE YELLOW, WHICH IS SINGLE-FAMILY AND OTHER SIGNS. 
          SO IN EVERYTHING, UH, OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS, IT'S, UH, IT'S PART OF OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT WE ADOPTED IN LATE 2016 THAT SHOWS THAT IT'S LIKELY AGRICULTURE. 
          AND WHEN IT COMES IN THE FUTURE LAND USE FOR THAT AREA WOULD BE SINGLE FAMILY. 
          AND THE REASON BEING IS, UH, YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO PUT COMMERCIAL RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE. 
          SO IT FOLLOWS THE LAND USE IS NOT SPOT ZONING. 
          SO THE, THE, THE REQUEST IT'S IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, UH, MAYOR, UH, 
          [00:40:01]
I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER STATEMENTS IF YOU'D LIKE TO OPEN PUBLIC HERE. 
          OKAY. 
          AND, UH, THE TIME IS SIX 10, AND I'M OPENING IT UP FOR PUBLIC HEARING. 
          ANYBODY WANTS TO SPEAK ERIC COMMISSIONERS? I'M BACK AGAIN. 
          VICTOR GARCIA SAYS, UH, 1, 1 9 LAKE NORTH ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM, UH, MR. VICTOR WAS JUST GAVE YOU A DIAGRAM AS TO THE CHECK-IN ROLE THAT THEY'RE BUILDING PARALLEL TO THE EARLY WORLD COLLEGIAL ROAD. 
          THE REASON FOR THAT IS THAT EARLY ROAD. 
          UH, THE DISTRICT USES THAT AS THEIR SERVICE ROAD, ANYTHING THEY TAKE OUT OF THE CANAL GOES ON THAT COLLEGIAL ROAD. 
          THEN THEY PICK IT UP AND THEY PUT IT ON THE DUMPSTER TRUCKS AND TAKE IT OUT. 
          THAT'S THE REASON FOR THAT. 
          NOW THEY'VE ALREADY STARTED DEVELOPING A PARALLEL ROAD. 
          WHY NOT CONTINUE THE ROAD ALL THE WAY TO SAN JOSE RANCH ROAD? THAT'S AN INVESTMENT THAT IS NOT GOING TO GO AWAY. 
          THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IT'S A POSITIVE INVESTMENT AS WELL, BECAUSE WE'RE ALREADY PAYING TAXES ON OUR ROADS. 
          BEEN PAYING TAXES ON OUR, ON OUR PROPERTIES, BEEN PAYING TAX ON ALL THIS. 
          WELL, YOU KNOW, THIS MONEY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE IN THE SUBDIVISION, WHICH IS GOING TO BE A LOT OF MONEY BECAUSE THE PROPERTY VALUES ARE GOING TO GO UP BECAUSE THERE ARE 41 LOTS. 
          THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY COMING IN. 
          WHY NOT HAVE THE DEVELOPER INVEST THAT MONEY ALSO IN THAT ROLE SO THAT THEY COULD GET IN AND OUT OF THAT, THAT SITUATION OF THAT SUBDIVISION. 
          AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE ASKING FOR THE DEBT. 
          AND AT THAT END OF THAT ROAD, NOT JUST THE DEAD END SIDE, BUT MAYBE EVEN BUILD A WALL WHERE  THAT A DIAGRAM THAT HE GAVE YOU SHOWS THE ROAD GOING FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER. 
          YOU CAN BUILD A CUL-DE-SAC RIGHT THERE AND HAVE MORE LOTS. 
          THAT'LL GIVE THEM A LITTLE BIT MORE ROOM. 
          IN MY OPINION, AGAIN, I'M ASKING IT BECAUSE OF MY CONCERN IS THE WELFARE AND THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE CURRENT RASAKA SHORE SUBDIVISION. 
          WE'VE GOT SEVERAL, SEVERAL FAMILIES THAT ARE ALREADY EXISTING. 
          WE'VE BEEN THERE IN 50, OVER 50 YEARS, PAYING TAXES OVER 50 YEARS. 
          OUR TAXES ALL WENT UP THIS YEAR, YOU KNOW, WITH NO IMPROVEMENTS, BUT YET WE'RE STILL PAYING WHAT WE NEED TO PAY. 
          THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY INVESTMENT, SO TO SPEAK INTO THOSE PROPERTIES. 
          AND YET THEY WANT TO PIGGYBACK ON OUR ROADS THAT WE PAID FOR THE, YOU KNOW, WE QUIETLY LIVE IN TO GET IN AND OUT OF THAT SUBDIVISION, THAT NEW SUBDIVISION. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR THAT DEAD END. 
          AND SINCE HE'S ALREADY PARALLELING WITH THAT ROAD, COMMON SENSE WILL TELL YOU, CONTINUE IT TO SOUND SET, RUN TROPE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, MR. GARZA. 
          ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY. 
          GENTLEMEN, UH, COMMISSIONERS MAYOR, UH, I'M BACK AGAIN, AS VICTOR SAID, I, UH, ZIG NEURON 1 77 LAKEVIEW NORTH. 
          UM, I I'M, I'M BRINGING UP, UH, AN ITEM HERE THAT, UH, UH, ONE OF OUR NEIGHBORS, UH, ASKED ME A FEW MINUTES AGO, THE PICTURE THAT I HAD SHOWN TO YOU, DO I NEED TO SUBMIT TO YOU ALL AS AN EXHIBIT OF SOME SORT, OR YOU DON'T NEED THAT. 
          UM, DO WE NEED TO, UH, YOU CAN SHOW IT TO THEM. 
          YOU CAN ALSO ASK THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          I WOULD ASK IT, I WOULD ASK THAT IT WOULD BE PART OF THE RECORD IF, UM, I GUESS GIVE IT TO, UH, THE CITY SECRETARY AND SOME SURE, UH, COPIES TO THE CITY SECRETARY SO SHE COULD INCLUDE THEM IN THE RECORD. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          UM, OKAY. 
          THEN THE OTHER ITEM THAT I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT HERE IS THE, UM, UM, I HAVE IN, IN SPEAKING WITH SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS I HAVE, UH, IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT, UH, SOME OF THE, UH, UH, LIFT STATIONS FOR THE CITY OF SAN BENITO OR NOT UNDER COMPLIANCE UNDER OR THROUGH A TCEQ, THE WHAT'S THE NAME OF THAT AGENCY. 
          UM, AND I WONDER IF THAT ISSUE WOULD BE COMPLICATED GIVEN THAT, UH, THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT IS GOING TO BE TAPPING INTO THE EXISTING LIFT STATION AT THE END OF RECYCLED SHORE BOULEVARD. 
          UH, ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS ALSO EXPRESSED CONCERN TO ME THAT, UH, NOT SO FAR BACK, THERE WERE, UH, UH, 18 WHEELERS GOING IN AND OUT THROUGH OUR SUBDIVISION, UH, DRAINING SOME OF THE SEWAGE THAT WAS ACCUMULATING AND IT WAS NOT PROPERLY, UH, GRID DIRECTED BY THE LIFT STATION. 
          AND, UH, SO IF THAT HAS BEEN DONE BEFORE, BY THE CITY TO, TO HAUL OUT A WASTE BECAUSE THE LIFT STATION WAS NOT PROPERLY FUNCTIONING. 
          AND NOW THAT, UH, IF THERE'S RUMOR IS, HAS ANY MERITS THAT, UH, THE CITY IS NOT UNDER COMPLIANCE OR Y'ALL HAVE BEEN GIVEN A TIMELINE TO BE UNDER COMPLIANCE 
          [00:45:01]
WITH ALL YOUR LIFT STATIONS IN THE CITY, IF THAT IS THE CASE, THEN THIS ISSUE ABOUT, UH, TAPPING INTO THE EXISTING LIFT STATION AT THE END OF THE RECYCLE SHORE BOULEVARD WOULD MAYBE PERHAPS COMPLICATED, EVEN WORSE. 
          WE DON'T WANT TO GET THERE. 
          WE DON'T WANT TO BE IN THIS SITUATION AS A CITY. 
          AND YOU ALL ARE TO BE THE JUDGE OF THAT IF, UH, BASED ON YOUR ANALYSIS OR YOUR, YOUR DEPARTMENTS THAT CAN STUDY THAT. 
          SO THAT, THAT WAS JUST A COMMENT ON, ON MY PART TO, TO HIGHLIGHT THAT AS A POSSIBLE ISSUE, THAT CAN BECOME, BECOME MORE OF A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS BY TCEQ. 
          AND THEN THE, THE OTHER, UM, FINAL ITEM THAT I HAVE THAT I WANT TO PRESENT TO YOU IS, UM, GENTLEMEN, AS I WAS, UH, UH, KNOCKING ON DOORS, UH, SEEKING SIGNATURES FOR SOME OF THE PETITIONS THAT YOU HAVE, UH, A GENTLEMAN ASKED ME OR TOLD ME THAT A RESIDENT FROM SOCCER SHORES THAT, UM, UH, THAT, UH, AEP HAS ALREADY CONSULTED WITH THE CITY AND APPROACHED THE CITY TO BUILD A SUBSTATION, A P SUBSTATION, SOMEWHERE IN THE VICINITY OF THE NEW PROPOSED SUBDIVISION. 
          DO YOU ALL KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT? MAYBE THAT WAS A HEARSAY OR RUMOR OR SOME SORT. 
          AND THEN AGAIN, UM, AP, UH, MAY HAVE, UH, UH, UH, WAYS OF GETTING THERE, EVEN IF THE NEW SUBDIVISION IS BUILT, UH, AT LEAST I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE LIVING NEXT DOOR TO A SUBSTATION, BUT THEN AGAIN, THERE MAY BE SOME, UM, SOME, UH, IMPROVE THE GREEN SPACE THAT IS, UH, TO BE ALLOTTED BY THE NEW DEVELOPER OR BY THE DEVELOPER TO MAKE THAT POSSIBLE. 
          I DON'T KNOW. 
          I JUST WANTED TO THROW THAT IN THE MIDDLE OF, OF YOUR THINKING, BECAUSE IF ADP HAS ALREADY APPROACHED YOU IN BUILDING THAT SUBSTATION TO CARRY IT, SUPPOSEDLY TO CARRY POWER FROM THE EXISTING SUBSTATION, THAT'S IN, UH, UH, BUSINESS 77, WHERE THE OLD APE, UH, CPL A POWER PLANT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FROM THAT ANGLE OVER TO WHERE THE NEW PROPOSAL DIVISION IS TO BE SITUATED. 
          SO THAT'S A CONCERN FOR ME, UH, THAT WOULD BE MORE OF A CONCERN FOR A NEW POTENTIAL BUYER OF THE LOTS THAT ARE GOING TO, THAT COULD BE DEVELOPED THERE. 
          SO KEEP THAT IN MIND. 
          I DON'T KNOW HOW TRUE THAT IS. 
          I JUST THOUGHT I'D BRING THAT UP AND FOR YOU ALL TO EXPLORE, UM, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          APPRECIATE IT. 
          ANYBODY ELSE? UH, I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS THE, THAT TRANSMISSION LINE. 
          IT'S A, IT'S KIND OF, IT'S A SHERRILYN PROJECT FROM LA ULTIMA. 
          IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE GOING THROUGH, UH, THE NORTH END OF THE PROJECT. 
          AND THERE ARE SEVERAL MORE THAN 10 PROPOSED SITES WHERE IT'S GOING TO GO THROUGH AND A TRANSMISSION LINE. 
          UH, IF YOU THINK ABOUT, IT'S JUST A LARGE UTILITY LINE ELECTRICAL LINE, RUNNING ELECTRICITY TO A TRANSFER STATION, UM, BUT AAP IS STILL THE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION HAS TO APPROVE THE ROUTE. 
          AND IF THIS PROPERTY WERE TO GET DEVELOPED, THAT WOULD NOT BE A POTENTIAL ROUTE FOR THE TRANSMISSION LINE, BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE A CERTAIN DISTANCE AWAY FROM RESIDENTS. 
          SO IF THIS LAND DOES NOT GET DEVELOPED AND THEY CHOOSE TO RUN A LINE THROUGH THERE, THEN YOU WOULD HAVE A TRANSMISSION LINE GOING THROUGH THE NORTH END OF THE PROPERTY CLOSER TO, I BELIEVE MR. COSBY'S PROPERTY, JUST FOR INFORMATION. 
          THAT'S COOL. 
          I MEAN, WE, WE KIND OF ASK QUESTIONS, RIGHT? YES WE CAN. 
          YES. 
          IT'S A PUBLIC HEARING. 
          YOU CAN HAVE SOME DIALOGUE. 
          YES, NOPE, NOPE. 
          UM, I APOLOGIZE. 
          I ACTUALLY HAD A HEARING WITH JUDGE GARCIA THIS MORNING. 
          SO WE HAD A QUICK LITTLE TALK ABOUT THIS. 
          UM, AND I DIDN'T GET TO FINISH ASKING ALL THE QUESTIONS AND I DON'T SEE HIM. 
          UM, I KNOW ONE OF THE MAIN CONCERNS WAS ACTUALLY THE LIFT STATION ITSELF. 
          THE T UM, TCEQ VIOLATIONS WERE BROUGHT UP. 
          THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE CITY HAS ALREADY ADDRESSED AND TAKEN CARE OF. 
          AND IT'S NOT ONE OF YOUR LIFT STATIONS. 
          UM, BUT I GUESS MY QUESTION IS YOUR CONCERNS WITH THE LIFT STATIONS. 
          IS IT ALREADY EXISTING CONCERNS OR DO YOU BELIEVE THE ADDITION OF THE NEW HOMES WILL NOW CREATE A CONCERN? I GUESS THAT'S THE CLARIFICATION I'M LOOKING FOR. 
          COME OVER HERE, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS PLEASE. 
          HELLO. 
          MY NAME IS BLANCA GARZA AND I RESIDED 1, 1 9 LAKE VIEW NORTH. 
          MY CONCERN 
          [00:50:01]
FEAR IS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE EXISTING PROBLEMS WITH A DRAINAGE. 
          OUR HOME IS ONE OF THE OLDEST HOMES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          SO EVERY TIME IT RAINS, UH, LIKE ONE OF OUR NEIGHBORS MENTIONED THE WATER COMES ALMOST INSIDE THE HOUSE, BUT THE OTHER ISSUE THAT WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN IT FLOODS, WE CAN'T EVEN FLUSH THE TOILETS. 
          SO THAT'S MY FEAR, MY CONCERN, YOU KNOW, IF THEY DON'T REPLACE A LIFT STATION FOR THE NEW SUBJECT PROPOSED SUBDIVISION, IT'S GOING TO CREATE MORE ISSUES FOR US, FOR SAN BENITO RESIDENTS, WHICH IS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          THANK YOU, MANDY, HAS THAT BEEN ADDRESSED? ALSO, MARY, WE ADDRESS ALL OF OUR 42 OR 45 LIST STATIONS. 
          THAT IS NOT ONE OF THE ONES THAT WE HAVE. 
          PRIMARY CONCERNS. 
          WE HAVE OUR, WE'VE HAD THE CONSULTING ENGINEER ON THE PROJECT AND WE'VE HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR STAFF. 
          SO WHATEVER HAPPENS, THEY'RE JUST LIKE VERY SIMILAR TO RECYCLE VILLAGE. 
          WE'LL MAKE IMPROVEMENTS AS NEEDED. 
          AND MANY TIMES IT'S, AS YOU MIGHT RECALL, RECYCLE VILLAGE DONATE SOMETHING LIKE 50 SOMETHING THOUSAND TO MAKE CERTAIN IMPROVEMENTS, TO ADD ADDITIONAL CAPACITY. 
          SO THEY DON'T FIX EVERYTHING BECAUSE IT'S BEEN THERE A LONG TIME, BUT YOU NEED TO ANY ADDITIONAL CAPACITY THAT THEY HAVE TO CREATE FORD, WHETHER THEY NEED MORE PUMPS OR SOMETHING, WE GENERATE IT. 
          SOMETIMES YOU DON'T NEED MORE CAPACITY. 
          SOMETIMES YOU NEED, INSTEAD OF TWO PUMPS, YOU GOT THREE AND YOU ALTERNATE THEM WITH LEADS AND LAGS. 
          SO THEREFORE YOU'RE JUST GETTING IT OUT FASTER. 
          IF WE'RE RUNNING TWO PUMPS, SOMETIMES WE NEED THREE AND JUDGE GARDEN THIS MORNING, WHETHER WE NEED TO JUST UPGRADE IT. 
          I MEAN, WE ADD IN THE DIGITAL FONT VERSUS A  STATION FOR YEAH. 
          AND I HAD THE SAME CONVERSATION WITH JUDGE GARCIA LATE THIS AFTERNOON. 
          IT IS DEVELOPMENT THAT NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE ENLARGED. 
          SOMETIMES THEY JUST NEEDS TO BE BETTER OPERATED AND BETTER MANAGED. 
          BUT UNTIL WE SEE THE DESIGN PLANS FROM THE VISIT FROM THE, THE ENGINEER ON THIS PROJECT, AND IT'S REVIEWED, REVIEWED NOT ONLY BY OUR CONSULTING ENGINEERS, BUT AS OF YESTERDAY, WE HAVE AN ALL-STAFF CITY ENGINEER. 
          SO, UH, IT'S GOING TO GET PLENTY OF ICE AND, YOU KNOW, MY PHILOSOPHY, I DON'T BURDEN THE TAXPAYERS. 
          WE PASS IT ON TO DEVELOPERS. 
          OKAY. 
          MY BOOZ CONCERN. 
          AND LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE HERE IS DRAINAGE, PROPER DRAINAGE. 
          UM, WE CAN'T, UH, WE CAN'T LOOK THE OTHER WAY WHEN IT COMES TO DRAINAGE. 
          UH, I KNOW THAT, UH, CERTAIN THINGS SAY, SAID ABOUT THE PROPERTY ITSELF, THAT THE RUNOFF GOES ONE WAY. 
          AND THEN I THINK I HEARD THAT THERE WAS GOING TO COME BACK THIS OTHER WAVE. 
          SO THOSE ARE THE MAJOR THINGS IN THIS COMMUNITY. 
          AND I THINK MR. JORDAN EVEN MENTIONED BACK IN 1992 COULD HAVE BEEN 91, I THINK APRIL, WE'LL NEVER, WE'LL NEVER FORGET THAT YEAR, APRIL, 1991. 
          SO I'M SURE EVERYBODY RECALLS THAT. 
          YEAH. 
          WE DON'T WANT TO JEOPARDIZE ANY DRAINAGE ISSUES. 
          WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE DRAINAGE ISSUES, OR I KNOW SOMETIMES IT RAINS SO MUCH, BUT WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, UH, TOILETS THAT AREN'T WORKING, BECAUSE THE WATER'S BACKING UP AND THE STREETS ARE GETTING FLOODED. 
          WELL, WE UNDERSTAND STREETS, OF COURSE. 
          AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT WHERE THE STREETS SERVE AS A, AS A, AS A POINT OF WATER TO DRAIN OUT. 
          SO IT WON'T, IT WON'T FLOOD YOUR HOUSE, BUT WHEN IT'S MORE, WE'RE ALREADY TALKING ABOUT, UH, TOILETS THAT AREN'T WORKING ANYMORE, BECAUSE SO MUCH WATER, SO MUCH RAIN THEN. 
          YEAH. 
          WE DEFINITELY WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE PROACTIVE IN THIS PARTICULAR MATTER BECAUSE, UH, I KNOW, UM, OUR, AND LIKE YOU MENTIONED, OUR NEW SUBDIVISIONS, OUR ORDINANCES, EVERYTHING IS IN PLACE THERE TO, TO HELP US PREVENT THAT. 
          BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS OLD SUBDIVISION, UH, AND THEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE OTHER SIDE OF RASAKA SHORES. 
          BUT, UM, BACK THEN, AND I HEAR, OKAY, THE NEW SUBMISSION IS GOING TO HAVE SIDEWALKS. 
          IT'S GOING TO HAVE ALL THESE THINGS IN IT THAT THE OLD ONE DIDN'T. 
          SO AT THE SAME TIME, MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS, WE HAVE TO ENSURE THAT WE DON'T JEOPARDIZE THE DRAINAGE OF OUR CURRENT, UH, RASAKA SHORE SUBDIVISION. 
          AND WE PROPERLY ADDRESS THE DRAINAGE FOR THE ENTIRE AREA BEFORE WE CAN ACTUALLY MOVE FORWARD WITH THE NEW DEVELOPMENT. 
          YOU HAVE THE MAPS IN FRONT OF YOU NOW, OTHER SUBDIVISION THAT THEY WANT TO DEVELOP OUR LIST STATION IS AT THE END OF THE SOCCER SHORES, HEADING INTO THAT 5.895 ACRES ON THE LEFT SIDE, BY THE RASAKA THE LIFT STATION IS THERE, THE PLAN IS TO RUN THOSE 40 WATT, LOTS, THEIR WAIST BACK 
          [00:55:01]
IN THIS DIRECTION, AND THEN PIPE IT BACK EAST TOWARDS THE, UH, THE, UH, MAIN, THE OTHER SUBDIVISION ALREADY HAS A LIFT STATION OVER THERE, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, WHY DOESN'T THIS SUBDIVISION LOSE ONE LOT OR LOSE A LITTLE BIT OF PROPERTY, A LITTLE BIT OF THEIR PROFIT AND INVEST IN THEIR OWN LIFT STATION AND RUN IT IN THE DIRECTION THAT IT NEEDS TO GO. 
          CAUSE THEY'RE RUNNING IT BASICALLY AGAINST THE GRAIN BACK THIS WAY AND DOUBLING UP OUR WASTE AREA AND THEN RUN IT BACK IN THE DIRECTION THAT CAME FROM. 
          YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME LOTS ALONG THE RASAKA. 
          THOSE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PIPE IT BACK THIS WAY AND THEN RUN IT RIGHT ALONGSIDE ANOTHER PIPE. 
          TO ME THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. 
          AGAIN, INVEST A LITTLE MONEY, HEATHER DEVELOPER INVESTOR MONEY THEY'RE ON LIFT STATION AND THEY'LL TYPE IN RIGHT THERE AND EVERYTHING WILL GO IN THAT DIRECTION. 
          LEAST. 
          THAT'S THE WAY I SAW IT WHEN WE SAW THE PLANS AND WHAT LITTLE WE SAW THE PLANS, WHICH WAS UP ON THE, ON THE SCREEN. 
          SO, UH, MR. GUTIERREZ, CAN YOU ADDRESS THAT PLEASE? YES, SIR. 
          UM, THE LIFT STATION, THIS IS WHERE WAY TOO EARLY INTO THE DESIGN PHASE. 
          THE SUBDIVISION HAS JUST BEEN PRELIMINARILY DESIGNED THE ACTUAL ENGINEERING DOESN'T COME UNTIL WE GET ALL THESE APPROVALS SUCH AS REZONING, ANNEXATION, ET CETERA. 
          HOWEVER, UH, WE HAVE LOOKED AT IT. 
          WE, WHAT WE HAVE LOOKED AT IS THE EXISTING LIFT STATION. 
          UH, WE'LL PROBABLY NOT HAVE CAPACITY TO TAKE CARE OF THIS, THIS SUBDIVISION WITHOUT SOME IMPROVEMENTS. 
          NOW, THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING AT THE DEVELOPERS COST, I THINK YOU HEARD A COMMENT THIS EVENING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL SHOULD NOT BE SPENDING CITY FUNDS ON THIS DEVELOPMENT. 
          WELL, THAT'S NEVER REALLY THE CASE. 
          THE DEVELOPER PRETTY MUCH PAYS FOR EVERYTHING IN THIS CASE. 
          WE'RE PROPOSING. 
          IF WE USE THAT LIFT STATION TO UPGRADE, THE PUMPS INCLUDE SOME TECHNOLOGY SUCH AS VARIABLE SPEED PUMPS HAVE THAT TECHNOLOGY, BECAUSE WHEN YOU DO HAVE A DRIVING RANGE, YOU HAVE GRAVITY SEWERS THAT EXPERIENCE INFILTRATION AND THAT INFILTRATION IS ADDITIONAL FLOWS. 
          SO WHEN YOU HAVE THESE ADDITIONAL PEAK FLOWS THAT COME ABOUT, THESE PUMPS WILL BE, UH, ABLE TO ACCELERATE A LITTLE BIT, OKAY. 
          TO HANDLE THE ADDITIONAL LOAD OR A SECOND PUMP KICKS IN TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THAT NOW, UH, TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, THE EXISTING LIFT STATION THAT HAS DUPLEX PUMPS. 
          IF IT NEEDS A THIRD PUMP, WE WILL ADD A THIRD PUMP, BUT ALL THREE WILL BE VARIABLE SPEED DRIVES. 
          SO THESE ARE THE TECHNOLOGY IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING. 
          NOW, IF OUR CONSTRUCTION PLANS DO NOT MEET CITY, UH, DO NOT MEET THE, UH, UH, APPROVAL OF THE CITY'S ENGINEER. 
          WHOEVER'S GOING TO BE REVIEWING OUR CONSTRUCTION PLANS AND WE'RE GONNA WORK CLOSELY WITH THEM TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS ANY COMMENTS THAT THEY HAVE IF THEY RED LINE OUR PLANS. 
          AND SO WE'D PREFER THAT YOU DO THIS, THIS, AND THIS FOR THESE REASONS, THEN WE UNDERSTAND AND WE'LL MOVE FORWARD. 
          HOWEVER, THE CITY HAD ON THE LIST, APPROXIMATELY 42 LIFT STATIONS, DO YOU REALLY WANT TO ADD 43 44, 45, 46? EVERY LIFT STATION IS IT CONSUMES POWER? EVERY LIFT STATION REQUIRES MANPOWER TO MAINTAIN IT. 
          EVERY LIFT STATION NEEDS TO BE CLEANED OUT. 
          SO YOU'RE JUST GOING TO ADD INVENTORY THAT NEEDS PROPER MAINTENANCE, NOT JUST FOR A MONTH OR TWO IT'S FOREVER. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WHEN I DID WORK HERE WITH THE CITY FOR OVER A NINE-YEAR PERIOD, WE HAD A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF LIFT STATIONS. 
          WE BUILT A LITTLE BIT BIGGER LIFT STATION TO GET RID OF ANOTHER ONE. 
          THERE WAS A BAD ONE AND ONE THAT WAS FAILING. 
          SO WE BUILT ONE GOOD ONE AND GOT RID OF TWO. 
          SO REDUCTION AND LIFT STATIONS IS AN IDEA TO THINK ABOUT HARLAND GIN ADDED A DEEP INTERCEPTOR SOWER TO GET RID OF SEVERAL LIFT STATIONS BECAUSE LIFT STATIONS COST MONEY. 
          SO IF WE CAN OPTIMIZE THIS LIFT STATION, IMPROVE IT TO SERVE BOTH SAFELY, ADEQUATELY, EFFICIENTLY, AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO, WE'RE NOT GOING TO OVERBURDEN THESE LIFT STATIONS THEN THAT'S THAT WE'LL GET SOME SERIOUS CONSIDERATION ON OUR PART. 
          AND LOOKING AFTER THE CITY'S INTEREST, I DID WANT TO SAY A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT DRAINAGE. 
          YOU SAW THAT PHOTOGRAPH, THAT YOU COULD SEE THE, THE ENTIRE STREET IS COVERED WITH WATER. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S FAIRLY TYPICAL DURING A RAINFALL EVENT, A DRIVING RYAN RAINFALL EVENT, AND TYPICALLY THE, WE HAVE FEMA ON THE FEDERAL SIDE THAT TAKES CARE OF FEMA FLOOD MAPS AND KEEPS 
          [01:00:01]
THE, THE, UH, MUNICIPALITIES UP TO DATE WITH, UH, THE LATEST INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO FLOODING. 
          NOW, THERE ISN'T ENOUGH MONEY IN THE WORLD REALLY TO GET EVERYTHING TO DRAIN 100% OF A HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD FLOOD PLAIN. 
          SO THERE'S SOME PRACTICAL THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE. 
          LET'S SAY A FIVE-YEAR STORM SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE HANDLED BY THE STORM SEWERS. 
          OKAY. 
          A 10 YEAR STORM. 
          YOU MIGHT SEE WATER IN THE STREETS, BUT YOU'RE NOT FLOODING HOMES. 
          AND THE, AND THEN THE, IF YOU HAVE OPEN CHANNELS AND DRAINAGE DITCHES, UH, THOSE LARGER, UH, CAPACITY CHANNELS TAKE CARE OF THE HUNDRED YEAR FLOODING EVENT SO THAT THE FINISHED FLOOD, THE OBJECTIVE THERE IS THAT THE FINISHED FLOORS REMAIN ABOVE THE A HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD PLAIN. 
          NOW THE STREETS, I WOULD RATHER THE STREET BE FLOODED AND WATER GET IN MY YARD, BUT DON'T LET IT COME IN MY HOUSE BECAUSE WE PAY INSURANCE. 
          AND YOUR INSURANCE CARRIERS WILL ALWAYS WANT YOU TO HAVE YOUR HOME ABOVE THE A HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD PLAIN, OR YOU MAY NOT GET INSURANCE. 
          SO THAT'S A LITTLE BIT ABOUT DRAINAGE AEP. 
          WE'RE AWARE OF THE AEP MULTIPLE ROUTES THAT THEY'RE CONSIDERING. 
          WE'RE JUST MONO AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PUC IS GOING TO DO. 
          SO WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE AGAIN, UH, MY CLIENT WAITED 15 YEARS AND NOW THAT HE'S GOT THE REST OF THE PROPERTY, HE WANTS TO BUILD SOME BEAUTIFUL WATERFRONT LOTS. 
          AND IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITIZENS OR PEOPLE FROM THE SURROUNDING AREA TO ENJOY THAT. 
          THE SAME THING THAT THE SOCCER SHORES AND SOUTHERN COMFORT SUBDIVISION IS ENJOYING. 
          WE WANT TO ADD, UH, BASICALLY, UH, TRAFFIC, GOOD FLOW. 
          WE DON'T WANT TO BE LANDLOCKED. 
          OKAY. 
          AND GOOD FLOW OF TRAFFIC. 
          OPENNESS IS I THINK, FRIENDLY TO THE COMMUNITY. 
          AND YOU CAN, YOU CAN, UH, SEE, YOU KNOW, THE REST OF THE STORY THERE. 
          EVERYBODY CAN GET FROM ONE PLACE TO THE OTHER EFFICIENTLY AND ESPECIALLY IN A CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. 
          THAT'S ALL I HAVE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, SIR. 
          I HAVE A COMMENT, UH, TO THE RESIDENTS. 
          UM, YOUR CONCERNS ARE, ARE OUR, OUR CONCERN TO US AS WELL. 
          AND, UH, UH, WE WILL SEE TOO, THAT THEY'RE MET AND, UH, AND THEY WERE FOLLOWING OUR ORDINANCES. 
          WE THREE MONTHS AGO, IS IT MANNY TOLD YOU, AND MR.  TOLD YOU, WE PASSED ONE OF THE STRICTEST HORSES FOR FOUR NEW SUBDIVISIONS COMING INTO SEVEN-YEAR-OLD. 
          SO, UM, ALL THOSE CONCERNS WE'LL, WE'LL SEE THAT THEY'RE THEY'RE ADDRESSED AT, AT THAT TIME. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE, MY NAME IS WALDO CHOPPER. 
          I LIVE AT 1 98 DEBUT NORTH. 
          I LIVE RIGHT ACROSS FROM THAT LIFT STATION THAT THEY'RE NOW ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS. 
          THERE'S SEWAGE COMING OUT OF THE MANHOLE. 
          IT HASN'T HAPPENED IN A WHILE AND THEY'VE HAD TO COME AND PUMP THAT STATION OUT SEVERAL TIMES. 
          YOU KNOW, THEY HAD THAT ROUND TRUCK TRUCK THAT WE'VE GOT THE HOSES SECTION AND THEY WERE COMING EVERY TWO HOURS. 
          AND IF WE ADD THE 41 HOUSES, HE'S LIKELY TO SAY THAT HE SAYS THEY'RE GOING TO BE UPDATES. 
          AND, UH, BUT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY UPDATE THAT PLAN BECAUSE IT CAN, UH, IT'S AN OLD, UH, LIFT STATION AND IT STICKS INTO ANY, THEY COULD GO OUT. 
          AND ANOTHER THING HE SAYS ABOUT THE SIDEWALKS AND STREETS, BUT WE'RE NOT GETTING ANY OF THAT AT, UH, ON THE SOCCER SHORTS WHERE I LIVE AND, AND, AND THE SOUTHERN COMFORT, WE GOT THE STREETS AND THE GRAVEL, LIKE I MENTIONED TO YOU, EVERY THE STREETS, NOTHING WITH GRAVEL NOW, AND THAT'S GOING INTO THE SEWER DRAINAGE AND THE DRAINS, AND IT'S PLUGGING UP THE LINES AND THAT CAUSES FOR FLOODING TOO. 
          AND THAT'S ALL THE COMMENT I HAVE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MY NAME IS REAGAN SOLACE. 
          I LIVE WITH ONE 90 WITH A SHORES, AND I LIVE RIGHT ACROSS FROM, UH, THE STATION TALKING ABOUT AND WHAT, UM, THE GENTLEMAN IS SAYING RIGHT NOW, YOU HE'S GOING TO FIX IT UP. 
          THAT'S ONLY A BAND-AID OKAY. 
          BECAUSE IT'S OLD, IT'S LIKE AN OLD CAR. 
          YOU FIX THE GENERATOR, THEN SOMETHING ELSE WORKS. 
          DOESN'T WORK. 
          YOU FIX UP THAT. 
          SOMETHING ELSE DOESN'T WORK. 
          THERE'S THE SAME THING WITH ITS STATION BUILT A NEW ONE. 
          THEY HAVE THE MONEY AND THEY HAVE THE PROPERTY BUILD A NEW ONE, AND THEY'LL, THEY'LL KEEP THE PEOPLE HAPPY RIGHT THERE IN THEIR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          AND WE'LL BE HAPPY WITH OUR OLD NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YEAH. 
          THE QUESTIONS MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS TO ADD, UM, WHAT COMMISSIONER, UH, MAYOR PRO TEMP GOT FRANCO JUST STATED, 
          [01:05:02]
UH, WHEN IT COMES TO OUR ORDINANCES AND WHAT WE'RE DOING. 
          UH, I DO BELIEVE THAT WE'RE GOING TO TRY AND PROTECT THE, UH, THE RESIDENT'S BEST INTERESTS, ESPECIALLY THE ONES THAT ARE ALREADY HERE. 
          AND OUR JOB IS TO PROTECT THEM BEFORE THOSE THAT ARE COMING IN. 
          UM, THEY WERE HERE FIRST, BUT, UH, WHEN IT COMES TO THAT LIFT STATION, UM, AS WE'RE, AS YOU KNOW, THIS EVENING, WE HAVE ANOTHER LIFT STATION THAT WE'RE GOING TO PUT THEM ON A WATER CONTRACT, SELECT SOMEONE. 
          UH, WE WILL LOOK AT THIS LIST STATION. 
          IT'S NOT VERY, TO ME, IT'S NOT VERY DIFFERENT THAN THE ALAMO LIST STATION AT ALAMO STREET BECAUSE OF THE PERFORMANCE ARTS CENTER. 
          WHEN THAT WENT THERE, WE ADDRESSED THAT LIFT STATION. 
          WE'RE ADDRESSING IT CURRENTLY SO THAT WHEN THE PERFORMANCE ARTS CENTER FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT GETS GOING, WE HAVE A MUCH BETTER LIFT STATION. 
          SO, UH, I WILL TELL YOU THAT WE WILL LOOK AT THIS LIFT STATION. 
          UH, THE, UH, THE DEVELOPER WILL PAY HIS FAIR SHARE. 
          HE'LL ARGUE WITH YOU THAT HE CAN'T PAY MORE. 
          AND HE'S PROBABLY RIGHT, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THE CITY DOESN'T HAVE AN OBLIGATION AND WE'LL LOOK AT IT. 
          YOU HAVE FUNDING. 
          WE HAVE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN FUNDS. 
          WE HAVE SOME OF THE 2020 BONDS SERIES. 
          WE'VE AGREED THAT WE WERE GOING TO ADDRESS THOSE SIX LIFT STATIONS THAT WE ARE REQUIRED TO, TO MEET OUR AGREEMENT WITH TCEQ CURRENTLY COMPLIANT. 
          WE DON'T HAVE, UH, UH, WATER QUALITY VIOLATIONS. 
          WE'VE GOT TECHNICAL VIOLATIONS. 
          WE NEED TO ADDRESS OUR INFRASTRUCTURE, OUR EQUIPMENT AT, AT THESE LIFT STATIONS. 
          SO LET ME JUST GET OUT OF THIS OPEN HEARING PUBLIC HEARING. 
          WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THAT LOCATION. 
          AND IF IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, WE'LL ADDRESS IT WHILE THE CONTRACTOR'S IN THERE. 
          SO WHEN WE MAY PRESENT SOMETHING TO THAT, UH, JUST LIKE THE GENTLEMAN JUST STATED IF IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, IF IT'S, UH, IF IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S A BANDAID AND WE DON'T WANT THAT, WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT. 
          WE'LL ADDRESS IT WHILE WE'RE IN THERE AT ONE TIME. 
          BECAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME, IN A LONG TIME, WE HAVE SOME BONDS AND SOME FUNDING AVAILABLE, WHETHER IT'S THE BONDS THAT YOU'VE ISSUED AS A CITY COMMISSION OR THOSE THAT WE'VE GOT THROUGH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. 
          SO WE'RE MOVING FORWARD. 
          THANK YOU. 
          GOOD. 
          THANK YOU. 
          MA'AM YOU HAVE ONE MORE? OKAY. 
          ONE MORE. 
          AND THAT'S IT. 
          WELL, IF SOMEBODY ELSE WANTS TO SPEAK MORE IMPORTANT THINGS SAY, NO, GO AHEAD. 
          I'M ON HILLY MENDOZA, WATERHOUSE. 
          AND I LIVE AT 1 69. 
          THIS IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. 
          AND, UM, IT WAS REALLY EXCITING TO SEE THIS. 
          I'M SURE Y'ALL THOUGHT IT WAS FAKE, BUT IT'S NOT. 
          UH, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE LIVED THROUGH A FLOOD, BUT I HAVE LIVED THROUGH A FLOOD WHERE THE WATER COMES IN THREE AND A HALF FEET INSIDE YOUR HOUSE. 
          SO YOU HAVE TO CUT OUT FOUR FEET OR MORE OF THE SHEET, ROCK ALL OVER YOUR HOUSE. 
          AFTER YOU TAKE OUT THE RUGS AND EVERYTHING ON THE FLOOR, ALL THE BEDS, YOUR CLOTHES, EVERY FURNITURE, EVERYTHING IS OUT IN THE FRONT YARD BECAUSE IT'S WET. 
          OH YES. 
          FEMA. 
          OH, WE PAY FEMA. 
          OH YEAH. 
          DO THEY PAY US? WHY YOU GOT TO WAIT AT LEAST SIX MONTHS OR MORE? I'VE EXPERIENCED THAT IN ANOTHER FACILITY, ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT. 
          THAT WAS PERFECTLY WONDERFUL. 
          WE HAD A, UH, WE HAVE A GOLF COURSE AND UH, YOU KNOW, IT WAS LIKE UPHILLS AND, YOU KNOW, TRACK. 
          I MEAN JUST FIRST CLASS, BUT WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOUR TOILETS DON'T WORK AND YOU DON'T HAVE WATER, YOU DON'T HAVE ELECTRICITY. 
          AND THE RED CROSS IS COMING TO THE CORNER TO GIVE YOU FOOD WHILE YOU'RE CLEANING YOUR HOUSE. 
          AND YOU'RE WAITING FOR FEMA TO PAY YOU. 
          YOU GOT TO HIT YOUR SAVINGS AND YOU GOT TO SURVIVE. 
          I WAS SIX HOURS AWAY TODAY. 
          SORRY, I GOT HERE LATE. 
          MY HUSBAND IS IN A WHEELCHAIR WAITING IN MY VAN, IN THE VAN FOR ME BECAUSE WE'RE FEEL SO STRONGLY ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          THIS HAPPENS. 
          YES. 
          THE DEVELOPERS HAVE RESPONSIBILITY TO DO THE BEST POSSIBLE. 
          WELL, BUT THEY'RE GONNA MAKE MONEY. 
          GREAT. 
          THE CITY HAS RESPONSIBILITY TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO MAKE SURE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN. 
          OH, BY THE WAY, WHEN WE BOUGHT THE, THIS IS PROPERTY NOT LONG AGO, BUT WHEN WE BOUGHT IT, IT WAS SOCCER SHORTS. 
          OH, WONDERFUL. 
          HOW BEAUTIFUL. 
          THIS WAS A VERY, VERY BIG DRAW. 
          EXCUSE ME. 
          IT'S A VERY BIG DRAW FOR US TO PURCHASE. 
          INVEST IN THIS WONDERFUL HOUSE THAT ELON MUSK WANTS TO BUY. 
          BY THE WAY, NO WAY. 
          THIS IS OUR FOREVER HOME. 
          IF WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM, HEY, WE'RE GOING TO REASSESS THE SOCCER SHORTS. 
          YOU WANT PEOPLE TO BE PROUD OF THE CITY, BE PROUD OF THE COMMUNITY, THE NEW DEVELOPMENT, GREAT DO IT RIGHT? BECAUSE IN 50 YEARS OR A HUNDRED YEARS, 
          [01:10:01]
WHEN THE HONORABLE ELECTED SERVANTS, CIVIL SERVANTS ARE NOT HERE, WE GOT TO HAVE THESE KINDS OF ISSUES ADDRESSED. 
          SO LET'S DO IT AHEAD OF TIME. 
          PLAN AHEAD, MAKE IT A FAVORABLE RESULT. 
          I APPLAUD MY NEIGHBORS FOR WANTING TO GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THESE CONCERNS EARLY ON. 
          IT'S NOT LATE, EARLY ON. 
          AND THESE DEVELOPERS TO BE SO SUCCESSFUL THAT EVERYONE WANTS TO LIVE INTO THE SOCCER SHORTS BECAUSE OF THAT PARTICULAR ASPECT THAT THE OTHER PLACES AROUND HERE DON'T HAVE, HAVE NOT DEVELOPED. 
          LET US CONTINUE TO MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL.

          THIS IS THE FIRST READING OF THE ORDINANCE AND NIXING. 
          IT'S A VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION OF THE 5.16 ACRES. 
          UH, WE JUST HAD A PUBLIC HEARING ON THAT. 
          SO ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME ON, ON THE PROPERTY? THANK YOU. 
          NO ACTION. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THAT'S GOING TO BE 51 ACRES. 
          I MEAN, 51 LOTS. 
          IF YOU WANT SINGLE FAMILY, LOTS WITH BEING PROPOSED, IT'S STILL FAIRLY EARLY. 
          WE HAVEN'T SEEN THE COMPLETE LAYOUT. 
          AND SO ONCE WE SEE THE, ALL THE ROAD DIMENSIONS, IT COULD BE 48 OR 51. 
          DID YOU SAY EARLIER THAT IT WAS THE, UH, INITIAL STAGE OR IS IT GOING TO BE A LARGER IT'S PART OF A LARGER, THE 5.16 ACRES IS AS YOU GO DOWN, SAM HOUSTON, WE TAKE AN ACREAGE ON BOTH SIDES OF SAM HOUSTON. 
          SO PART OF IT'S ALREADY WITHIN THE CITY, THIS GOES FURTHER BACK. 
          SO THEY'RE ANNEXING AN AREA OUTSIDE OF THAT PERIMETER ALREADY. 
          SO I JUST CAN'T RECALL WHAT THE TOTAL LAKERIDGE IS, BUT YOU'LL SEE IT. 
          WHEN WE SEE THE REPLAY, ONCE IT'S ANNEX ZONE, THEN YOU'LL START SEEING CLASSES SO FORTH.

I AM 13 FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NUMBER 24 0 9 DASH J AND COURSE, UH, ORDINANCE, UH, MEANING ORDINANCE NUMBER 24 0 9 DASH F SECTION THREE, WATER RATES, UH, SECTION, UH, FOR, UH, SANITARY SEWER WATER BREAK. 
          SO RATES IN SECTION FIVE OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS RATES AND ALL OTHER OWNERS IN CONFLICT THERE WITH AN AS PROVIDED IN THE CITY OF SAN BENITO PROVIDE AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. 
          UM, KNOW THERE WAS A PERCENTAGE ON, OKAY, MARIN COMMISSIONERS. 
          UH, THIS IS THE MUCH ANTICIPATED WATER RATES AND THE RESULTS, UH, BEFORE YOU IS THE, THE, UH, THE FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE THAT WILL, UH, AMANDA, UH, PRIOR ORDINANCE ORDINANCE NUMBER 2,409 F AS IN FRANK SECTIONS, THREE, FOUR AND FIVE THAT PERTAIN TO WATER RATES, SEWER RATES AND OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS RATES. 
          SO AS YOU GO THROUGH THE ORDINANCE, UM, FORGIVE THAT THE SPACES, BECAUSE I'M DEALING WITH SPREADSHEETS HERE, BUT WHEN YOU GET PAST THE FIRST PAGE WHERE IT SAYS ORDINANCE NUMBER, YOU GET TO THE SECOND ONE, YOU SEE THE WATER RATES, THIS IS MORE OF A COVER PAGE. 
          YOU'LL SEE A SNIPPET IT'S, YOU'LL SEE IT ON YOUR SCREEN. 
          UM, AND IT SHOWS THE PROPOSED WATER RATES. 
          AND YOU'LL SEE THAT IT'S GOT TEN ONE TWENTY TWO AS YOU GO FROM LEFT TO RIGHT CURRENT TEN, ONE TWENTY TWO, TEN ONE TWENTY TWENTY THREE, TEN ONE TWENTY TWENTY FOUR. 
          THIS IS THE RECOMMENDATION. 
          IS THAT FOR SINGLE, FOR A SINGLE FAMILIES, SINGLE TENANT, THAT THERE'D BE NO WATER RATE INCREASE UNTIL OCTOBER 1ST, 2024. 
          AND AS YOU CAN TELL, IT'S REFLECTIVE IN THIS FIVE-YEAR PLAN. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, UH, THE SNIPPET IS A, WAS PROVIDED BY OUR CONSULTANT, UH, HAD THE STAFF PUT IT ON A SPREADSHEET SO WE COULD WORK WITH IT, SEND IT TO WHEN WE GET THIS CODIFIED. 
          SO THE NEXT PAGE IS THE SAME, UH, AND, UH, BASICALLY WE JUST STARTED CLEANING IT UP SO WE COULD WORK WITH IT MUCH EASIER. 
          SO, UH, YOU'LL SEE THAT THAT'S PROBABLY THE, ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THAT YOU GO DOWN AND THEN YOU GET TO THE NEXT ONE, THE COMMERCIAL ICL IN CITY LIMITS, YOU'LL SEE THAT WATER RATES FOR THEM TAKES EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1ST, 2022. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THERE'S THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN. 
          OKAY. 
          THIS IS BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT, UH, BASED ON DISCUSSIONS THAT WE HAD WITH OUR CONSULTANT, THAT, THAT, THAT THIS STUDY BASED ON SEVERAL SCENARIOS, BASED ON WHAT WE THOUGHT WOULD BE, UH, ACCEPTABLE BY THE CITY COMMISSION ACCEPTABLE, BY MOST IMPORTANTLY, OUR WATER CUSTOMERS AND CITY AND OUTSIDE OF THE CITY. 
          BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID REALIZE THAT, UM, UH, WE HAVE A LARGER, UH, RESIDENTIAL POPULATION, THE COMMERCIAL, AND WE HAVE BEEN SUBSIDIZING OF RESIDENTIAL HAS BEEN SUBSIDIZING A GOOD PORTION OF THE COMMERCIAL FOR A VERY LONG TIME. 
          AND AS A, AS YOUR RECOMMENDATION, AND WE SAW THOSE GRAPHS THAT WERE PREPARED, WE SAW THREE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THIS POWERPOINT PRESENTATION BY OUR CONSULTANT. 
          WE TRY TO BALANCE IT. 
          WE BROUGHT EVERY, YOU KNOW, THE, THE RESIDENTIAL CAME UP SOME AND THE COMMERCIAL CAME DOWN. 
          SO EVERYTHING'S MUCH MORE BALANCED AND MORE UNIFORM, BUT AGAIN, UH, WE'RE RESIDENTIAL IS NOT CARRYING THE BURDEN FOR COMMERCIAL. 
          OKAY. 
          GO DOWN TO THE NEXT ONE. 
          UH, YOU'LL SEE, YOU'LL SEE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT MULTI-FAMILY IN CITY LIMITS AGAIN. 
          UH, MULTI-FAMILY LIKE COMMERCIAL RIGHT THERE. 
          DUPLEXES 
          [01:20:01]
OR APARTMENTS OR EIGHT PLEX, WHATEVER IT IS, THIS IS THE RATE FOR THOSE TYPES OF, UH, UH, MULTI TENANT. 
          SO AGAIN, UH, THEY WILL BE, UM, UH, WE'RE PROPOSING THAT THE NEW RATE TAKES EFFECT OCTOBER 1ST, 2022. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THOSE ARE THE WATER RATES AS YOU GET TO THE NEXT SECTION. 
          UH, YOU'LL SEE. 
          SECTION TWO SANITARY SEWER RATES. 
          OKAY. 
          I THINK THAT'S RIGHT THERE. 
          SO THERE IT IS. 
          UM, UH, SECTION TWO MEANS SECTION ONE WAS THE WATER RATES IN THE ORDINANCE. 
          OKAY. 
          WHEN I READ YOU THE CAPTION, I WAS AMENDING ANOTHER ORDINANCE. 
          SO I'M IN SECTION TWO, SANITARY SEWER DID THE SAME THING. 
          WHEN IT COMES TO THE RESIDENTIAL, YOU, YOU WON'T SEE A SEWER RATE INCREASE UNTIL OCTOBER 1ST, 2024. 
          OKAY. 
          SO A RESIDENTIAL INCIDENT LIMITS FOR SEWER THERE, KEEP GOING DOWN, YOU'LL SEE COMMERCIAL IN CITY LIMITS. 
          THERE'S TAKES EFFECT JUST LIKE WATER, OCTOBER ONE OF THIS YEAR, KEEP GOING DOWN AND YOU GET TO MULTIFAMILY AGAIN, JUST LIKE COMMERCIAL. 
          THIS IS SANITARY SEWER, JUST LIKE WATER, OCTOBER ONE OF THIS YEAR. 
          IT TAKES EFFECT. 
          SO AS, UM, THE WATER AND SEWER ARE IDENTICAL, WHEN IT AS TO WHEN THE NEW WATER RATES ARE BEING PROPOSED, THAT THEY TAKE EFFECT AS YOU GO DOWN, YOU'RE GOING TO GET TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS. 
          AND THIS ONE, I JUST KINDA PUT THEM ALL TOGETHER. 
          WE HAVE, UH, UH, I CAN'T RECALL THE NUMBER OF ACCOUNTS, BUT ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF THE OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS, AS YOU MIGHT RECALL, WE HAVE A CERTIFICATED WATER AND SANITARY SEWER, A CERTIFICATED AREA THAT IT DOESN'T SIT RIGHT OVER THE CITY LIMITS. 
          AND AGAIN, WE HAVE NEIGHBORS, WE HAVE, UH, THE, UH, RWANDA WATER SUPPLY CORPORATION AND WE HAVE MILITARY WATER SUPPLY AND THEN HARLINGTON. 
          SO WE DON'T ENCROACH WITHIN THE CITY OF HARLINGEN, BUT OTHER AREAS MAY HAVE WATER. 
          FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU'RE DOWN BY MATT'S, UM, UH, MATT SUPPLY DOWN ON THE, ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF TOWN, UH, YOU GO ABOUT A BLOCK DOWN, YOU'VE GOT MILITARY WATER SUPPLY PROVIDING SOME HYDRANTS. 
          SO THEY'RE WITHIN OUR CITY LIMITS. 
          IT JUST HAPPENS. 
          AND WE ALSO GO BEYOND OUR CITY LIMITS. 
          SO WE DON'T STAY GEOGRAPHICALLY BOUND. 
          UH, SO THESE BUSINESSES THAT ARE OUTSIDE RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY OR COMMERCIAL, OR ALL PROPOSED TO BE OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS, WHETHER IT'S WATER OR SEWER, ALL OF THOSE RATES WERE GOING TO BE 1.5 TIMES GREATER THAN WHAT WOULD BE IF YOU WERE IN THE CITY. 
          THAT WAS THE FORMULA THAT WAS PROPOSED. 
          IT'S AN INDUSTRY STANDARD. 
          AND THOSE WILL TAKE EFFECT OCTOBER 1ST, 2022, OCTOBER ONE OF THIS YEAR. 
          SO, UH, IT'S A FAIRLY STRAIGHTFORWARD ORDINANCE. 
          UH, ALL I DID, WE DIDN'T CHANGE, UH, FOR, FOR OUR DEVELOPER FRIENDS. 
          WE DIDN'T CHANGE IMPACT FEES. 
          WE DIDN'T CHANGE METER FEES OR ANY OF THAT WHEAT. 
          THIS WAS STRICTLY A STUDY THAT PERTAINED TO THE WATER AND SEWER RATES IN CITY AND OUTSIDE OF THE CITY. 
          SO, UM, AND THEN, UH, WE ADDED A DETERMINATION THAT YOU DETERMINED THAT THESE RATES ARE REASONABLE FEES FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED AND THEN FIT SHOULD BE IN CONFLICT. 
          BUT I RESEARCHED A LOT OF OUR ORDINANCES TO MAKE SURE THAT I WAS ADDRESSING THE RIGHT ORDINANCE, SEND IT TO MR. SAUCY. 
          AND WE ARE NOT PRESENTING THIS AS THE FIRST READING WITH NO ACTION THIS EVENING. 
          AND, UM, I'M HOPING TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. 
          WELL, I REALLY DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, BUT I MEAN, THROUGH THE PROCESS, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, WE, WEREN'T CERTAIN WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO, BUT, UM, ACTUALLY, UH, I LIKE WHAT I SEE AND I FEEL COMFORTABLE NOW. 
          UM, UH, I'VE ALWAYS HAD IN MIND OF CREATING A FAIR AND EQUITABLE, UH, WATER RATE SYSTEM. 
          AND I THINK THIS IS PRETTY MUCH GOING TO GET US BACK ON TRACK, UH, WHERE WE NEED TO BE AND COMMISSIONER, UH, TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE CONCERNS, UM, AS YOU LOOKED INTO IT. 
          AND I RECALL THAT I HAD WITH THE MAYOR PRO TEM WHEN WE DISCUSSED CONSUMPTION, UH, THERE ARE SOME VERY LOW VOLUMES NOW THAT, THAT WE TRACK NOW. 
          SO WHETHER IT'S 2000, 3000, IT'S GOT SOME RATES. 
          SO, UH, FOR THE SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS, IT'S ALL BASED ON CONSUMPTION. 
          IF YOU CONSUME MORE, YOU PAY MORE, YOU CONSUME LESS, OBVIOUSLY IT WORKS THE SAME, YOU PAY LESS. 
          SO I THINK THAT THIS IS ABOUT IT PRETTY MUCH COMMON SENSE AS ONE OF OUR, UH, PUBLIC COMMENTS EARLIER MENTIONED COMMON SENSE. 
          AND THAT'S, I THINK THAT'S THE WAY WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THINGS. 
          WHAT MAKES BETTER SENSE? WHAT'S SENSIBLE FOR ALL OF US, WHETHER IT'S RESIDENTIAL OR NON-RESIDENTIAL, BUT, UH, UH, OF COURSE, UH, THERE ARE A CONSULTANT CAPEX HAD A LOT TO DO WITH THIS. 
          UH, UH, I REALLY APPRECIATE THE, THE, THE GUIDANCE, UH, BECAUSE WE'RE ULTIMATELY THE ONES THAT MAKE THE DECISIONS. 
          BUT, UH, I THINK, UH, LIKE I SAID, I FEEL COMFORTABLE. 
          WE WE'VE WORKED HARD TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT IS FAIR AND EQUITABLE TO EVERYBODY AND REASONABLE. 
          I RECALL THAT ONE OF THE, UH, ELECTED OFFICIALS, UH, LOOKED UP THE CREDENTIAL SUGGESTS NODE AND WITH CAPEX, UH, 
          [01:25:01]
WELL, VERY WELL-RESPECTED IN, IN, IN THIS INDUSTRY. 
          UM, HE DOES RATES STUDIES, NOT ONLY FOR REGULATORY STATE REGULATORY AGENCIES, BUT ALSO FOR MANY CITIES IN THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND THEN ALL AROUND THE STATE. 
          AND HE NAMED A BUNCH OF THE CITIES THAT HE DOES. 
          AND YOU HEARD THOSE NAMES. 
          SO, UM, I, I DON'T THINK WE'RE DEALING WITH, WITH AN AMATEUR WE'RE DEALING WITH SOMEBODY KNOWS HIS BUSINESS. 
          WE LOOKED AT THESE NUMBERS. 
          I THINK HE MADE THE BEST RECOMMENDATION, GAVE YOU SEVERAL SCENARIOS BASED ON INPUT FROM YOU TO TRY TO MAKE IT AS, YOU KNOW, AS BEARABLE, NOT PLEASANT, BUT BEARABLE FOR OUR WATER CUSTOMERS THAT THANK YOU VERY COMMISSIONERS. 
          OKAY. 
          THERE'S NO ACTION ON THIS ONE. 
          SO, UM, OKAY. 
          GOING ON 
          [14. Consideration and possible action to award a contract to Southern Trenchless LLC for improvements to the Alameda Lift Station, located near 273 Colorado Street, in the total amount of $236,460.00.]
TO, I DON'T KNOW, 14 CONSIDERATION POSSIBLE ACTION TO AWARD THE CONTRACT OF SOUTHERN TRENCHLESS LLC, OR IMPROVEMENTS ON THE ALAMEDA LIFT STATION LOCATED AT 2 73 COLORADO STREET OR TOTAL AMOUNT OF 230, $6,460. 
          AND MR. MOSES MARTINEZ PERCENT IS OUR, YOU MEAN MAYOR COMMISSIONERS. 
          YEAH. 
          IN FAIRNESS TO A MR. MARTINEZ, I THINK I FORGOT TO TELL HIM THAT, UH, THAT I WAS PROBABLY GOING TO TAKE IT. 
          SO, UH, LET ME TAKE IT FROM HERE. 
          SO ALOMEDA, UM, LIFT STATION. 
          I MET WITH A HANSON ENGINEERING. 
          WE DID THE BID OPENINGS. 
          WE DID THEM IN THIS ROOM. 
          WE HAD TWO BIDDERS, UH, SOUTHERN TRANSLATORS CAME IN AT HALF THE COST. 
          UH, THE OTHER COMPANY, UH, VERY REPUTABLE, BUT CAME IN AT TWICE THE COST. 
          THEY WEREN'T SURE WHETHER THEY COULD GET THE SUPPLY. 
          SO THERE NOT ONLY WAS IT MORE, THEY WERE, THEY WERE CONCERNED ABOUT GETTING THE SUPPLIES. 
          AND, UH, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT MAYBE, UH, ONE VENDOR HAS MORE ACCESS TO GETTING THE STUFF A LITTLE BIT FASTER. 
          SO I THINK THAT THAT, AND THIS CAN BE DONE IN 60 DAYS. 
          YOU KNOW, WE'VE ALL BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT TRYING TO MEET OUR MARCH 20, 23 DEADLINE. 
          SO THE OTHER WAS WORST CASE SCENARIO SEVEN MONTHS, WHICH WOULD HAVE PUT IT LIKE IN THE JANUARY, WE WOULD HAVE STILL BEEN OKAY IN SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO. 
          SO, UH, IT IS STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION THAT THE WARBY, UH, THAT THE CONTRACT BE AWARDED TO SOUTHERN TRANSLATORS IN THE AMOUNT OF $236,460, UH, AUTHORIZED THE MAYOR SIGNED. 
          HE WILL, UM, IT'S PRETTY STRAIGHT FORWARD. 
          UH, AND YOU'VE GOT THE BID TABULATION IN, IN HERE AND THE RECOMMENDATION FROM, UM, UH, PAULINA VEGA, THE, THE PROJECT MANAGER WITH HANSEN. 
          AND I SEE, UH, UH, THE, ONE OF THE FIELD INSPECTORS WITH HANSON HERE. 
          SO I DON'T SEE ME AS VAGUE, BUT, UH, AGAIN, THEY'VE BEEN, THEY'VE BEEN WORKING WITH US ON OTHER LIFT STATIONS AND THEY CONTINUE TO DO A GOOD JOB FOR US. 
          AND SO HAS SENATOR TRENCHLESS. 
          SO WHAT IS GOING TO BE DONE ON THIS? UH, THE PETITION MANY, IT'S A, IT'S A, IT'S NOT ADDITIONAL CAPACITY MAYOR. 
          IF YOU'VE NOT BEEN OUT THERE, IT SITS, THIS IS THE PROPERTY THAT WE'RE ACQUIRING ALONG COLORADO. 
          IT SITS UP THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY AND THERE'S LIKE A RAILROAD TRACKS AND A DRY IT'S, IT'S ONLY REHABILITATION. 
          WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO, WE'RE GOING TO STAY, NOT TRUMP. 
          WE'RE GOING TO STAY WITHIN THE SAME FOOTPRINT, BUT PART OF THE ACQUISITION IS WE'RE GOING TO CARVE THE PROPERTY NEXT DOOR, JUST SO WE CAN GET A DRIVEWAY TO IT, PUT BETTER GATES, FIX IT. 
          UM, UH, IT WAS REALLY SAD TO, TO, TO GO THERE ONE DAY AFTER WORK, UH, MR. BELL. 
          AND I WENT THERE ONLY TO SEE THIS, UH, EIGHT TO 10 YEAR OLD BOY AT THE WINDOW LOOKING OUT THERE RENTERS. 
          SO WE MET THE PROPERTY OWNER AND, UM, AND SHE SAID, YEAH, MY, MY, MY TENANTS CAN'T EVEN USE THE BACKYARD. 
          AND THEN THE PROPERTY, AS I'M LOOKING AT THE HOMES, THE RIGHT HOME, THE RIGHT SIDE HOME, HAD THE CHILD YOUNG FAMILY, THE LEFT SIDE HIT TWO DOGS BACK THERE. 
          AND THE ODOR WAS TERRIBLE THAT, UM, I THINK THAT THE WHOLE IDEA OF REHABILITATING THIS CHANGING OUR PALMS, UH, REWORKING THE WELL, AND THEN DOING SOME ODOR CONTROL MEASURES AT THAT SITE WILL MAKE IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT SITTING IN A COMMERCIAL AREA. 
          IT'S NOT SITTING AREA WITH JUST GET A LOT OF WIND AND DISSIPATES. 
          I MEAN, IT IS, IT WAS VERY BAD. 
          OKAY. 
          I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE, UH, ON THE PROPOSAL, THERE'S A CANOPY. 
          WHAT IS THE, UH, THE PROPOSED CANOPY? UH, THE CANOPY IS TO PROTECT THE, UH, THE CONTROLS. 
          UH, GENERALLY, UH, A LOT OF OUR PANELS ARE JUST IN BOXES AND UNDERSTANDING STEEL OVER TIME, THE SEALS, WHETHER THEY GET CRACKED AND, UH, IT IS BETTER TO PUT, UM, COVERS A CANOPY COVER OVER THE CONTROLS, UH, THE ELECTRICAL CONTROL PANELS. 
          SO WHEN THEY'RE WORKING, IT'S RAINING STUFF, THEY CAN OPEN AND GET IN THERE AND DO WHAT THEY NEED TO DO AND TRY TO MINIMIZE HOW MUCH WATER IT. 
          PLUS JUST THIS, UH, THE SUN BEATING ARE ON OUR ELECTRONICS. 
          IS THERE ANOTHER LIFT STATION IN TOWN THAT HAS A CANOPY? WE ARE CURRENTLY, FOR EXAMPLE, WE DID THE SAN JOSE. 
          NO, SIR. 
          I DON'T BELIEVE THERE ARE, THERE ARE MAINLY THEY'RE EITHER FIBERGLASS, UH, HAD A CONVERSATION, MOISES, WHAT THEY ARE, THE BUILDING WE'RE GOING TO TAKE DOWN. 
          WAS IT OVERALL FOR YOAST 
          [01:30:01]
OR, UH, UH, REMEMBER, UH, THE BUILDINGS KV AND IN, ON THE EQUIPMENT, WE WANT TO REMOVE IT DELMA. 
          WHAT, BY THE AIR LIFT STATION, UH, LET ME TELL WHAT WE GOT TO BUILDING. 
          WE DON'T EVEN HAVE AN EASEMENT POPE, SO IT'S PRESCRIPTIVE IS THERE. 
          OKAY. 
          BECAUSE PICKUP WE'RE GOING, HEY, UH, THE HOUSES, UH, WELL, LET'S FORGET THAT IT'S ON PROPERTY. 
          WE DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH LAND WE OWN BECAUSE WE SHOW NO RECORD OF OWNING, BUT WE'VE HAD A LOOP STATION FOR DECADES, BUT THE BUILDING IS COLLAPSING AND IT'S SHIFTING AND IT'S GOING TO FALL IT. 
          SO WE'RE GOING TO REMOVE THE BUILDING AND PUT A COVER. 
          MOST OF OUR, UM, MOST OF OUR STRUCTURES, COMMISSIONER COLON HAD BEEN A CMU BLOCK BUILDINGS WITH SOME TYPE OF METAL ROOF. 
          OKAY. 
          THE, UM, THE SEWER GASES, CO-WROTE EVERYTHING INSIDE, CORRECT. 
          EVERYTHING INSIDE THE BUILDING. 
          AND THESE WERE NEVER BUILT ON VERY GOOD FOUNDATIONS. 
          OKAY. 
          SO IF YOU GO THERE, OUR SOULS ARE NOT VERY GOOD. 
          SO THINGS START, TILTING BUILDINGS START TILTING. 
          SO, UH, IT IS OUR POSITION. 
          AND CERTAINLY AS MINE, LET THEM AIR OUT, REMOVE THE BUILDING, REMOVE THE SCENE VIEW BLOCKED. 
          SO OUR STAFF IS GOING TO DO THAT. 
          AND THEN WE'RE JUST GOING TO CONTRACT TO PUT A COVER OVER IT. 
          THAT IS THE DIRECTION WE'RE GOING IN. 
          AND BEFORE, UM, MR. VASQUEZ LEFT, HE PROVIDED US SOME PHOTOS OF, OF VARIOUS TYPES OF COVERS THAT WE WERE INTERESTED IN PUTTING IN, UH, PUTTING OVER THESE FACILITIES. 
          SO YOU'LL BE SEEING THAT AT SAN JOSE, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE EL CAMINO EL CAMINO WHEN WE DID SOME WORK, BECAUSE WE NEEDED TO DO WORK BECAUSE OF THE RASAKA VILLAGE SHOPPING CENTER. 
          NOW WE'RE ELIMINATING ONE LIFT STATION AND WE'RE GOING TO INCREASE CAPACITY. 
          WE'RE GOING TO FIX FLOATS IT. 
          DOESN'T BACK UP. 
          IT WILL HAVE A COVER WHEN IT'S DONE. 
          IS THERE, THIS IS THE MINIMUM METAL IT'S GOING TO COST TO REHAB IT, BUT IS THERE A MAXIMUM, I I'VE BEEN SEEING A LOT, UH, UH, BIDS COMING BACK AT A HIGHER MARK THAN WHAT WE ANTICIPATED BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC AND INFLATION. 
          SO IS THERE A CUT OFF POINT HERE? NO CONTINGENCY WRITTEN IN THIS BID? YES, SIR. 
          WHEN I DID THE, UH, UH, WE DID THE SERIES OF THE 2020 SERIES, SO ABOUT 2018, UM, I THINK YOU WERE ON THE COMMISSION, UH, MAYOR. 
          WE PUT TOGETHER, I BASE ALL OF THE LIFT STATIONS BASED ON THE, UM, OSCAR WILLIAMS LIFT STATION. 
           HE'S, HE'S GONE. 
          VICTOR GET DEBTORS WAS THE ENGINEER ON THAT PROJECT. 
          I BASED THAT WORK, THAT, THAT FORCE MAIN DOWN THROUGH, BY THE MOBILE HOME, DOWN, DOWN TO HAVEN HAVEN DRIVE ALL ON THOSE COSTS. 
          SO WHEN I WORK WITH THE ENGINEERS, I HAD, HERE'S THE THING WHEN I'M WORKING, WHEN I'M WORKING WITH OUR FINANCIAL ADVISORS, JUST DON'T ENGINEER, GOING TO WHAT WE THINK THE COST OF OR COST ESTIMATES ARE GOING TO BE THIS. 
          SO I LOOK AT WORST CASE SCENARIO, AND THEN I DETERMINED, AND I, AND I REMEMBER TELLING HIM, I SAID, HEY, EVEN IF WE GET, COME OUT DOING BETTER, THEN WE'LL HAVE EXTRA FUNDS TO BE ABLE TO DO SOME OF THE OTHER LIFT STATIONS SOUND WHERE WHEAT, SOME WILL BE READ HABILITATED SAM, WE'LL JUST NEED SOME PUMPS AND SOME WILL NEED COMPLETE OVERHAULS. 
          I MEAN, LIKE IN U IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO, I THINK WHAT WE'RE DOING AT THE ROSE, UH, OR THE LANDRUM, UH, IT JUST THE SEWAGE, THE SMELLS THERE, THE ODOR, UH, WORKING IN A VERY TIGHT ENVIRONMENT, THE LIVES, THE, THE, THE FOREST MAY COME IN, REQUIRES MORE WORK. 
          WE WEREN'T GOING TO GO AS OUT AS FAR AS WE DID WITH THE LAST, UH, WITH THE OSCAR WILLIAMS. SO, UH, COMMISSIONER GOVERNMENT. 
          SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS, WE CAME UP WITH THE BEST NUMBERS THAT WE COULD FOR WHAT WE NEEDED. 
          AND, UH, AND JUST LIKE THIS, WHY THERE WAS ONE AT 236 AND THE OTHER WAS OVER 500,000. 
          AND I SAID, MAKE SURE THOSE NUMBERS WORK. 
          AND HE SAID, LOOK, I THINK HE'S GOT INVENTORY. 
          HE DOES THAT. 
          SO YOU GOT TO FIND THOSE CONTRACTORS THAT HAVE ACCESS OR THEY'RE ACTUALLY, THEY DO ENOUGH. 
          THEY DO SO MUCH WORK THAT THEY'RE JUST, THEY'RE CARRYING OWN INVENTORY. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT MAKES SENSE. 
          SO THE, UM, SO THERE'S A 60 DAY CALENDAR TURNAROUND TIME, A 236,460. 
          THERE, THERE IS, THERE IS ROOM FOR THEM THAT TO BE MORE COSTLY, RIGHT? YES, SIR. 
          YEAH, RIGHT? YEAH. 
          IS THERE A CAP THOUGH? ON WHAT, HOW MUCH MORE THOUGH? THAT'S MY QUESTION, YOU KNOW, UM, CAN WE PROVIDE, CAN WE PUT A CAP ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS? THE USUAL HERE'S THE THERE'S A CONTINGENCY CONTINGENCIES ARE USUALLY UP TO 30%. 
          OKAY. 
          YOU KNOW, IT USED TO BE 20. 
          A LOT OF THEM GOT, BECAUSE YOU'RE, YOU'RE WORKING SUBSURFACE. 
          YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU GOT DOWN THERE. 
          IF YOU'RE A BUILDING ABOVE SURFACE, YOU CAN KIND OF SEE A LOT OF THINGS. 
          YOUR CONTINGENCY IS, WELL, YEAH. 
          YOU DON'T KNOW, BUT WHEN YOU'RE WORKING ROADS OR YOU'RE WORKING LIFT STATIONS THAT ARE ON THE GROUND, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S AROUND IT. 
          UH, YOUR COSTS ARE GOING TO GO UP MUCH FASTER. 
          SO, SO, OKAY. 
          THE CONTINGENCY ON THIS BID, NOTHING RIGHT NOW, RIGHT 
          [01:35:01]
NOW. 
          YEAH. 
          MARK, CAN WE PUT ONE, WELL, ANYTHING THAT'S DEVIANT, WE WOULD HAVE TO BRING IT BACK TO THEM, BUT IF IT'S WITHIN A CERTAIN RANGE, WE WOULD JUST COME BACK OR TELL THEM, HEY, WE FOUND SOMETHING, YOU KNOW? YEAH. 
          I UNDERSTAND THEY'RE WORKING IN THE UNKNOWN AND IT MIGHT SEEM LIKE AN UNKNOWN TERRITORY FOR MYSELF, BUT THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING. 
          THEY KNOW WHAT'S UNDER THERE. 
          THIS IS THEIR, THIS IS THEIR OCCUPATION. 
          SO THIS IS THEIR SPECIALTY, RIGHT. 
          THEY'RE EXPERTS AT THIS. 
          BUT I THINK HAVING A CONTINGENCY PROTECTS US FROM HAVING THAT INCREASED COST. 
          WHAT ARE YOU SEEING? SOME CITIES GETTING HIT WITH AN ADDITIONAL A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS BECAUSE YEAH. 
          YOU'RE NOT ASKING FOR A CONTINGENCY. 
          YOU'RE ASKING FOR A MAXIMUM LIMITATIONS OF THE THING AND THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN IN THIS WORLD. 
          YOU CAN'T. 
          YEAH. 
          IT'S IT IS WHAT IT IS. 
          IT'S GOTTA BE REASONABLE. 
          NOW HANSON'S AN ENGINEER. 
          THAT'S GOING TO LOOK OVER THE WORK OF, UH, UH, SOUTHERN TRENCHLESS, UH, RICKY BACK HERE, RICKY RACER. 
          HE'S GONNA MAKE HE'S THE EYES AND EARS FOR PAULINA VEGA. 
          OKAY. 
          SO IN OTHER WORDS, IT CAN'T BE, UH, ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY COME IN AND SAYS, HEY, IT'S A 50, 50% MORE. 
          THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO JUSTIFY IT. 
          AND OUR ENGINEER WILL MAKE THAT RECOMMENDATION. 
          WE'RE NOT, WE'RE GOING, HEY, LOOK AT THIS. 
          IS IT REASONABLE? WHAT'S YOU KNOW, IS THIS, AND REMEMBER SOUTHERN TRENCHLESS, DIDN'T DESIGN THIS HANSON DESIGNED IT. 
          THEY LOOK AT IT, THEY DESIGNED IT. 
          SO THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO EITHER SAY, YES, I TIE THERE'S SOMETHING WE DIDN'T KNOW, OR HE IS. 
          AND THEY DO COST ESTIMATES. 
          SO, BUT COMMISSIONING, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE ASKING US, UH, WE'RE GOING TO PUT IT AT TWO, YOU KNOW, SAY THAT 20%. 
          THIS IS THE MAXIMUM. 
          AND IF YOU DON'T DO IT AT THIS, IF I WAS THAT, WHEN YOU START TALKING ABOUT GUARANTEED PRICES, YOU STARTED TALKING ABOUT GUARANTEED PRICES OR PRICES GO UP TREMENDOUSLY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          AND SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO ASK THEM TO ASSUME THE RISK, THEY'RE GOING TO CHARGE YOU FOR IT. 
          SO YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET THAT FOR TEACHERS. 
          EVEN IF WE PUT A CAP, THEY'RE STILL GOING TO COME BACK FOR MORE. 
          WELL, HOW CAN YOU PUT A CAP? BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO, WHAT THEY COULD HIT. 
          RIGHT? I MEAN, SO, SO THE THING IS, IS THAT IF THERE'S AN ISSUE BELOW THE GROUND OR SOMETHING THAT REQUIRES SOMETHING DIFFERENT, THEY'RE GOING TO COME BACK TO THE CITY AND SAY, HEY, LOOK, THIS IS THE SITUATION. 
          AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO AGREE, RIGHT? AND IT'S A PROCESS. 
          BUT IF YOU JUST WRITE IN THE CONTRACT, SAY, OH, THERE'S A MAXIMUM GUARANTEED PRICE, BUT WE YOU'RE GOING TO BEAR THE RISK OF THE UNKNOWN. 
          WELL, THE CONTRACTOR'S GOING TO CHARGE YOU FOR ASSUMING THAT RISK. 
          WE DIDN'T, WE DIDN'T BIT THIS OUT AS A CONTRACTOR AT RISK. 
          IF THAT'S THE DIRECTION YOU'RE GOING, THEN YOU'VE GOT TO, YOU BASICALLY REJECT HIS BID AND WE GO OUT AND BID IT AGAIN. 
          AND UNDER THOSE NEW TERMS, THE PRICING STILL STANCE. 
          I HAD MENTIONED EARLIER, I SAY ANY QUESTIONS? NOPE. 
          OKAY. 
          THEN I GOT IT. 
          I GOT A MOTION BY  SECOND BY COMMISSIONER GARCIA. 
          ALL IN FAVOR.

          AND MR. MOSES MARTINEZ PERCENTAGE CENTER, WHAT DO YOU MEAN MAYOR COMMISSIONERS PRO TAM MUFFET MARTINEZ POLWARTH COORDINATOR, UM, RATTLING CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO RATIFY PAYMENT TO AUSTIN TRAFFIC. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, COMPANY, UM, IN THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF $36,233, WHAT DID HE DO OVER THERE? WE RE-DID THE WHOLE TRAFFIC SIGNAL SECTION. 
          ALL THE LIGHTS ARE NEW. 
          ALL THE WIRING IS NEW. 
          THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSING SIGNS ARE NEW, THE BUTTONS ON YOU. 
          AND WE HAVE A GOOD WARRANTY ON THAT WITH A COMPANY. 
          ALSO A NEW CONTROLLER INSIDE A CONTROLLER IS, UH, ERIC IS NEW INSIGHT, ALTHOUGH BETTER MONTHS IT'S AN UPGRADE MAYOR. 
          THERE'S NOTHING TO ANTIQUATE IN THERE NOW.

          I'M GLAD, I'M GLAD THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, UH, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS DONE, YOU KNOW, TO HELP OUT AND GET THIS THING, YOU KNOW, FIXED ON THIS. 
          YEAH. 
          LIKE THE MAYOR SAID, WE DID GET A LOT OF CALLS ON THAT CONSTANTLY. 
          AND OF COURSE I WOULD, UH, I USE THAT QUITE A BIT MYSELF, SO I KNEW WHAT THEY WERE GOING THROUGH AND I SAW ACCIDENTS HAPPEN RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. 
          SO I APPRECIATE THE EFFORT THAT WAS MADE ON YOUR STAFF, HIS BEHALF. 
          HOWEVER, I THINK WE STILL NEED TO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE THAT INTERSECTION, THAT CROSSING THERE FOR THE, UH, UM, WALKERS ON THE RASAKA, WE NEED TO FIND A WAY TO BETTER IMPROVE THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          AND I'M TALKING ABOUT, UM, THOSE LINES ARE FADED AND AT THE CROSSWALKS, UM, I DUNNO, WE NEED TO MAKE A BETTER EFFORT TO PROTECT THE PEDESTRIANS. 
          CERTAINLY WE DON'T WANT TO WAIT UNTIL AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS WITH THE PEDESTRIAN, UH, SIMPLE TERMS PEOPLE. 
          I NOTICED THAT THEY'RE AFRAID TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP. 
          SO, AND, AND, UH, YEAH. 
          IT'S TRAFFIC RIGHT NOW. 
          I THINK I MADE AN, UH, UH, I WANT TO SAY, I WANT TO SAY ANYWAY, DID THAT YES. 
          I WANT THAT, UH, UH, TRAFFIC MONITORING A LITTLE BIT CLOSER OR, OR, OR MORE OFTEN, BECAUSE I SEE TRAFFIC OUT OF CONTROL SOMETIMES.

          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY.

          [18. Consideration and possible action to ratify purchase from Xylem Water Solutions USA, Inc. for two (2) Flygt model 6-inch submersible pumps in the total amount of $42,464.80.]

          THESE PUMPS ARE GOING IN THE LIFT STATION. 
          YES. 
          THEY'RE GOING TO GO IN THE  STATION. 
          WHY AREN'T WE USING THE PUMPS ON TOP? OKAY. 
          NOW THIS IS NOT A RETROFIT. 
          THESE ARE ALREADY EXISTING SUBMERSIBLES. 
          SO IF IT WAS YOU WHERE WE GO ABOVE GROUND, BECAUSE IT'S THE GOVERNMENT REPS OR SOMETHING, THE, THE ABOVE GROUND IS MUCH EASIER. 
          THEY HAVE TO BE SELF PRIMING AND YOU CAN, IF YOU LOSE, PROBABLY THEY DON'T WORK. 
          BUT THESE THAT ARE ACTUALLY SUBMERSIBLE, GET A LOT OF, UM, UNDESIRABLES CAUGHT INSIGHT AND IT'S A PROBLEM. 
          AND THEN THE MEN HAVE TO WORK ON IT. 
          SO THIS LAST BE LIVE STATION IN LIKE THE FIRST ONE WHERE WE'RE RATIFYING PAYMENT, BECAUSE THE WORK HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE. 
          IT'S A HAZARD. 
          THIS ONE WE'RE RATIFYING THE PURCHASE. 
          WE'VE ALREADY AUTHORIZED THE PURCHASE ORDER. 
          I NOTIFIED YOU THAT WE WERE GOING TO DO THAT. 
          IF THEY'VE NOT ARRIVED, THERE WAS, THERE WAS A FIVE WEEK DELAY OR A FIVE WEEK DELIVERY PERIOD. 
          SO WE ARE USING THE SIX INCH PUMP. 
          WE REFER TO IT AS A TRASH PUMP. 
          IT JUST PICKS IT. 
          AND, UH, THE FLOWS, OCCASIONALLY WE, WE, WE, WE, YOU KNOW, TAKE EVERYTHING OUT, PUMP IT. 
          BUT, UH, SO WHILE THAT IS, WHILE THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN ORDERED, THE PUMPS THAT WE TOOK OUT, WE WEREN'T SURE THAT WE COULD ACTUALLY GET THEM REHABILITATED. 
          AND WE FOUND OUT THAT FOR ABOUT 3,500, FOR ONE ABOUT 4,500 FOR THE OTHER LESS THAN 10,000 TOTAL, WE'RE GOING TO GET TWO NEW PUMPS, WHICH MEANS MAYER. 
          WE'RE GOING TO FIND THE LITTLE LIFT STATIONS. 
          IT'S GOT SUBMERSIBLES, IT'S GOT PROBLEMS. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THEM OUT. 
          BUT THESE IN JUST LIKE ANYTHING ELSE, THEY NEED MAINTENANCE. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          AND WOULD YOU DO APPROVE, THANK YOU. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO. 
          TRY TO GET HIM A MOTION BY  SECOND BY COMMISSIONER GALVAN. 
          ALL IN FAVOR.

          [19. Consideration and possible action ratify purchase from Precision Pump Systems one (1) Gormann Rupp 6-inch diesel driven pump with John Deere engine in the total amount of $67,452.01.]
I AM 19 CONSERVATION POSSIBLE ACTION TO VERIFY THE, UH, UH, FROM PURCHASE FROM A PRECISION PUMP SYSTEM. 
          ONE GORMAN RUPP, SIX INCH, UH, DIESEL, UH, DRIVEN PUMP WITH JOHN DEERE ENGINE. 
          I TOLD THEM MOTO $67,452 AND ZERO 1 CENTS. 
          AND MR. MARTINEZ PRESENTED ITSELF, MAYOR COMMISSIONERS. 
          GOOD EVENING. 
          MR. MARTINEZ PROBABLY WAS COORDINATOR CONSIDERATION, IMPOSSIBLE LEGEND TO VERIFY PURCHASE FROM PRECISION PUMP SYSTEMS. ONE GOVERNMENT RE-UPPED 16 DIESEL DRIVEN PUMP IN THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF $57,452 AND 1 CENTS. 
          ONE THING TO WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS ONE. 
          AND THIS IS GOING TO BE IN THE LESBIAN LESBIAN WROTE AGAIN. 
          I MEAN, LESBIAN, NO, WE HAVE THE SIX INCH CURRENTLY THERE. 
          WE HAVE ANOTHER FOUR INCH, BUT IT'S OLDER. 
          NOT VERY RELIABLE, BUT WE DO HAVE IT. 
          IS THAT THE ONLY ONE THAT'S A FOREIGN. 
          SO, BUT THE SIX INCH THAT WE PURCHASED, WHAT SIX MONTHS AGO, IT'S THE ONE THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY USING. 
          AND WE SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, WITH THE SUPPLY CHAIN TODAY, A LONG DELIVERY FOR CERTAIN, YOU KNOW, INVENTORY, I SAID, WE CAN'T BE DEPENDED ON OUR SIX INCH ONLY BEING AT ONE, WE NEED AT LEAST TWO PUMPS. 
          AND WE SAID, THAT'S WHY. 
          SO WE ARE ACTUALLY PROPOSING THAT MAYOR COMMISSIONERS AT THIS BE UTILIZED OUT OF THE CARES FUNDS. 
          SO FOR PUBLIC WORKS, WE'RE PROPOSING THAT IN. 
          AND I SHOULD HAVE SAID THAT IT'S SOMETHING YOUR SUMMARY, UM, UH, ON THE BUDGET IMPACT, UH, WE WOULD LIKE FOR THE $67,452 IN ONE PENNY TO COME OUT OF THE CARES FUND, BUT WE THINK IT'S AN IMPORTANT EARS THAT WHEN WE HAVE A STORM EVENTS, HURRICANES AND THE LIFT STATIONS GET BACK UP WHERE THEY STOP OPERATING, WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO PUMP THEM SOMETIMES AND RUN THEM TO THE NEXT GRAVITY LINE WHEN WE LOSE HEART. 
          SO THAT'S HOW WE USE THIS EQUIPMENT. 
          SO WE STILL HAVE KIDS. 
          YES, SIR. 
          YES, SIR. 
          YEAH. 
          IS THIS A PUMP, UH, PULLED BY TRUCK OR IT'S ON ITS OWN? HE HAS A TRAILER TO TRAILER YOUR MOUTH. 
          YES. 
          YEP. 
          YEP. 
          I'M JUST CURIOUS. 
          WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT LIKE BUYING A USED PUMP? IS IT, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE IN PRICE AND WHAT'S THE TIP, THE LIFESPAN FOR A PUMP? UH, ABOUT 10, 15 YEARS, ALL THE MAINTENANCE WE DO, YOU KNOW, IT'LL LAST, BUT IF I NEED TO USE POUNDS RIGHT NOW, PRICES YOU PUT UP. 
          I WAS JUST WONDERING, CAUSE I FOUND ONE ON EBAY FOR 8,500 BUCKS, A 10TH OF THE PRICE, BUT I DON'T, WE CAN GO THAT ROUTE. 
          I JUST LIKE TO LOOK AT THE NUMBERS. 
          YEAH. 
          SO THIS IS, THIS IS, IS THIS, WHAT IS THIS? THE I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THIS IS ACTUALLY USED FOR. 
          IS IT JUST TO KEEP 
          [01:50:01]
THE LIFT STATION RUNNING OR IS IT THAT ONE THAT GETS ON THE TRUCK WHERE YOU USED TO GO PUMP UP THE LIST, PUMP THE STUFF OUT. 
          YEAH. 
          COMMISSIONER, YOU SOLD THOSE YOU, THOSE PHOTOS THAT I SENT YOU, THAT 16 INCH TRANSMISSION LINE. 
          IF WE HAVE A BROKEN WATER MAIN SOMEWHERE AND WE NEED TO PUT PUMPS, CAUSE WE NEED TO GET THE WATER OUT OF THERE. 
          WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO WITH LITTLE TWO INCH PALMS THAT WE GOT, THAT WE CARRY IN OUR TRUCKS. 
          WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO IT WITH THE FOUR INCHES, A LITTLE BIT HEAVIER. 
          WE NEED SOMETHING SIZEABLE, YOU KNOW, SIX INCH, EIGHT INCHES KIND OF OPTIMAL. 
          THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT EASIER BECAUSE WE DEAL WITH 20 WHAT'S THE LARGEST, PROBABLY 20, 20 TO 24 INCHES, 24 INCHES DOWN LIKE THE, AT THE FREDDY FENDER. 
          AND, AND, AND THESE ARE JUST, YOU KNOW, UH, BIG BOY SIZES. 
          THERE'S MUCH LARGER WATER DISTRIBUTION MEANS OUT THERE. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT THAT'S WHY WE WERE COMFORTABLE WITH A SIX INCH BECAUSE WE DID LOOK AT THE EIGHT INCH AND WE KIND OF LOOK AT THE PRIZE. 
          WE LOOKED AT, UH, DSU SUZU AND EVEN THOUGH OUR GUYS GO, NO, MAN, I SHOULDN'T SAY THAT. 
          WE LOOKED AT OTHER MARKET OTHER BRANDS WHERE YOU CAN GO, I DON'T WANT THAT. 
          I WANT THIS, THIS WORKS FOR US. 
          SO THOSE ARE THE MEN THAT USE IT. 
          THEY'RE COMFORTABLE WITH IT. 
          AND BUYING YOU SOMETIMES YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE MAINTENANCE YOU DON'T WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. 
          AND YOU'RE JUST BUYING SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROBLEM. 
          SO WE JUST DON'T PROMOTE, WE'VE GOT OUR OWN STUFF THAT'S USED. 
          SO THIS IS WHAT THE WORKERS ARE ASKING. 
          YES, SIR. 
          GREAT TIMING AND BUDGET REPORT FROM CAROL SMITH. 
          WHAT'D YOU DO? I'M LOOKING AT THE, AT THE PUMP ON THE PICTURE. 
          IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT'S ON A TRAILER, BUT IT YOU'RE SAYING IT DOES COME WITH THE TRAILER. 
          COME WITH THE TRADER. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          IF YOU SEE WHERE EQUIPMENT, EQUIPMENT SCOPE AND SERVICES INCLUDED, IT'S IT'S RIGHT ABOUT WHERE HE SIGNED THAT. 
          YOU'LL SEE WHERE IT SAYS TRAILER AFTER IT SAYS ENGINE INCLUDES BATTERY, COMMA, TRAILER, COMMA, EXTRA JACKSON. 
          SO IT LOOKS GOOD. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          SO I'VE GOT A MOTION BY MR. PUTIN VIA WHO WAS SECOND. 
          SO YOU CAN BET COMMERCIAL GARCIA ALL IN FAVOR.

          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          MAKE US PROUD PLEASE. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, I REMEMBER 20, 
          [20. Discussion and possible action on adding Stephanie Lane to the 2022 Street Rehabilitation List.]
UH, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO, UH, FOR ADDING STEPHANIE LANE ON 2022 STREET, WE HAVE RELIGION, WE HAVE A LIMITATION LIST AND, UH, I RECOMMEND THAT THIS, UH, I KNOW WE, WE MAKE THIS AND I BROUGHT THIS UP TOO MANY, YOU KNOW, UH, I KNOW THERE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF SUB-DIVISION RIGHT NOW AND THE STIPPLING AGE IS ON THE FRONTAGE BY THE, UH, ONE OF THE, UH, UM, WHAT DO YOU CALL IT? THE, UH, UH, HARLOTS EXACTLY. 
          THE STREET IS BEING TORN UP BY THAT, THE TRACK, UH, THE RIG THAT, UH, YEAH, I LOAD THE RIG. 
          SO I BARELY, THE CITY HAS ALREADY ADDRESSED IT TO THEM OR TO THE, UH, THE COMPANY. 
          SO, BUT, UH, LIKE I SAID, I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT UP. 
          THERE'S OTHER ONES I WISH I COULD BRING UP THE WHOLE CITY. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF THEM, BUT YOU KNOW, WE'RE DOING AS WE'RE GOING, LIKE I SAID, I DON'T WANT TO BE MOVING FROM ONE SIDE OF THE CITY FOR ONE LITTLE STREET. 
          AND THEN COMING BACK AGAIN, IF THAT'S THE CASE MATTER SUNNYSIDE DIVISION, IT NEEDS TO BE RE WE DONE ALSO. 
          WELL, HERE'S THE THING, YOU KNOW, I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE NEED TO FIX ALL THE STREETS THAT NEED ARE IN DIRE NEED OF REPAIR, BUT 
          [01:55:02]
RIGHT NOW, UH, YOU KNOW, LET'S FINISH WHAT WE HAVE. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, I HOPE YOU ALL AGREE. 
          LET'S FINISH WITH THE LIST THAT WE HAVE AND, UH, YEAH, WE'LL CONSIDER STEPHANIE LANE, BUT WE WILL CONSIDER STEPHANIE LANG I BELIEVE AT THE RIGHT TIME. 
          IN OTHER WORDS, WHEN WE'RE READY TO CREATE THE NEXT LIST, LET'S NOT, UH, JUMP THE GUN WITH ANY STREETS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. 
          I THINK WE HAD A VERY GOOD DISCUSSION. 
          WE CAME TO AN AGREEMENT. 
          WE HAVE A LIST FOR 20, 22. 
          UM, WE'LL SOON START WORKING FOR 20, 23, BUT I THINK TO JUMP THE GUN ON THIS, UH, I THINK IT WILL, IT'S GOING TO TAKE US AWAY FROM WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY ESTABLISHED AND 2022. 
          SO I PERSONALLY, I JUST FEEL THAT LET'S CONTINUE WITH WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE. 
          LET'S FINISH IT UP. 
          LET'S START WORKING ON THE LIST FOR 2023. 
          UM, MATT MAY HAVE A QUESTION. 
          I'M GOING TO SHARE THAT. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          UM, THE AUTOMATED SUBDIVISION, ALL THE STREETS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE REDUNDANT THAT YES. 
          SO THERE'S FOUR CROSS STREETS AND THEN THE HORSESHOE, WHICH IS COLORADO. 
          AND THEN, YEAH. 
          AND, UH, WE MET MR. WITH MR. MARTINEZ, UH, UH, YESTERDAY TASTY. 
          SO IT WAS YESTERDAY. 
          UH, HE WAS WORKING ON THE SCHEDULE ALSO WHEN THE, UH, REPUBLIC SERVICES WOULD BE THERE BECAUSE WE CAN'T HAVE THEM INTERRUPTING OUR SCHEDULES. 
          SO WE DON'T WANT TO INTERRUPT THEM. 
          SO WE WERE WORKING AROUND THEIR SCHEDULE. 
          I THINK WE'RE IN THERE FRIDAY, IF YOU WANT TO BRIEF HIM REAL QUICK ON WHERE WE ARE WITH THAT. 
          SINCE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT STREET, THE RAPIDLY WAYS CHANGE THE SCHEDULE. 
          SO THEY HAVE DIFFERENT DAYS TO PICK UP THE GARBAGE SO WE CAN LET THEM GO IN PROBABLY DOING HOT ASPHALT TOMORROW. 
          WE'RE GOING TO START A COLORADO DRIVE. 
          WELL, WE'RE GOING TO START FROM THE EAST SIDE, WORK OUR WAY TO THE WEST. 
          WE'RE GOING TO STOP AT, UM, LAVACA, DRY LAVACA DRIVE. 
          THEN WHEN FRIDAY, WHEN A CONTINUE FROM THE WEST SIDE, COMING IN TO MEET AT LAVACA AND THEN COME OUT IN ALASKA AND WE'RE DONE. 
          OKAY, THANK YOU. 
          I'LL BE THERE. 
          THEN WE MOVE ON. 
          CAN I BE THEIR GIRLFRIEND? OKAY. 
          SO YOU'RE ALL IN. 
          I, UH, I'VE DRIVEN DOWN STEPHANIE LANE. 
          I'M NOT SURE HAVE YOU, UH, MR. COMMISSIONER GARCIA, HAVE YOU DRIVEN ON THAT ROAD? I'VE DRIVEN THROUGH MANY ROADS HERE IN SOMEBODY THROW. 
          AND LET ME TELL YOU THEY'RE MASKING AND ABOUT STEPHANIE, STEPHANIE . 
          HOWEVER, THE REASON I'M ASKING IS BECAUSE IN THE VERY BEGINNING PORTION OF THAT ROAD, THE WATER DOESN'T FLOW OUT PROPERLY. 
          IT'S A ONE INLET. 
          AND FOR DRAINAGE PURPOSES, YOU WERE JUST SPEAKING ABOUT DRAINAGE. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF, DO WE HAVE A FIXED, UM, COMMERCIAL? HOLD ON, SIR. 
          HOLD ON. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF COLLEGIATE AT THE ENTRANCE OF THAT INLET. 
          AND ALSO AT THE VERY END, BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN SO MUCH PATCHWORK, IT LOOKS, IT LOOKS LIKE WINCE THAT IT'S, I DON'T, IF THERE'S ROOM IN THE BUDGET AND IF THE TEAM IS UP FOR IT, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY HARM IN ADDING AN ADDITIONAL STREET. 
          I'M SURE ALL OF THOSE RESIDENTS WOULD APPRECIATE IT. 
          AND I'M SURE MANY WANT THEIR NAME, THEIR STREET ON THE LIST, BUT I'M OKAY WITH THIS BECAUSE I TRAVELED DOWN THAT ROAD. 
          I JUST, COINCIDENTALLY WENT DOWN IT AND I SAID, WHAT A HECK? IT LOOKS LIKE A RULE ROAD. 
          IT LOOKS LIKE A COLLEGIAL ROAD. 
          IT'S TERRIBLE. 
          AND THERE'S SOME ELDERLY FOLKS THAT LIVE AT THE VERY END OF THAT. 
          CUL-DE-SAC OKAY. 
          THAT'S WHY I THINK THAT IT'S IT'S OKAY. 
          YES. 
          I MEAN, IF THE BUDGET, IF IT'S WITHIN BUDGET AND THE TEAM CAN HANDLE IT, THEN WHY NOT JUST ASSUME IT'S SIMPLE FIXING THE STREET, BUT I DO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH DEVIATING AWAY FROM OUR 2022 LIST THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE AND WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON AND WE'RE NOT EVEN HALFWAY THERE. 
          SO LET'S CONTINUE THE MOTION. 
          22 STEPHANIE LANE. 
          OKAY. 
          I'VE GOT A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER GALVAN SECOND AND I'LL SECOND IT ALL IN FAVOR. 
          AYE. 
          I'M NOT GOING TO THE EMOTION ON MY ALMOST A TABLE IS, WELL, WE ALREADY HAVE A RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A MOTION. 
          SO ALL IN FAVOR, ANY NAYS, ANY G COMPANY BY, UH, COMMISSURE, UH, TENACIOUS AND, UH, COMMISSIONER GARCIA. 
          SO  YOU MEET THE OTHER ONE? YOU WANT TO TABLE IT? WELL, MY MOTION IS TO TABLE IT THAT WAY IT WON'T GET OFF THE ARABIC ARAB COME BACK A LATER TIME SO WE CAN FINISH UP AND EDIT THE END. 
          LIKE  OKAY. 
          WE HAVE A MOTION. 
          OKAY. 
          TO APPROVE IT. 
          THAT'S WHERE THE MOTION IS RIGHT NOW. 
          SO WE NEED TO GET RID OF THE MOTION FIRST. 
          OKAY. 
          DO SO 
          [02:00:01]
I'M ASKING IT'S A, IT'S A TIGHT YOU'RE THE TIEBREAKER? NO, MY NAME. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          OKAY. 
          IF I'M GIVING YOU A DIFFERENT MOTION, THE MOTION FAILS. 
          OKAY. 
          NOW YOU SAID MY EMOTIONS, YOUR TABLES. 
          WE CAN BRING IT BACK. 
          MAYOR PRO TEM OF YOUR FRANKLIN MOTIONS TO TABLE TIKKUN. 
          I SECOND. 
          AND I WANT A SECOND. 
          YES. 
          I WANT A SECOND BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY THE RIGHT THING TO DO BECAUSE I SEE YOUR BUDGET IMPACT UNDETERMINED. 
          I WANT, I WANT, I WANT, UH, I WANT NUMBERS. 
          I WANT THIS, UH, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A, THIS INTERPRETER CONSIDERATION FOR 2022. 
          I KNOW WE ALREADY HAVE MONIES ALLOCATED FOR THE STREET LIST THAT WE HAVE FOR 2022. 
          WE'RE GOING TO ADD ANOTHER STREET ON THERE. 
          I WANT TO KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE MONEY JUST LIKE COMMISSIONER GALVAN SAID, DO WE HAVE IT IN THE BUDGET? WELL, HERE IT SAYS UNDETERMINED. 
          I DON'T KNOW. 
          SO I WANT TO, I WANT TO FIND OUT IF WE HAVE THE RESOURCES TO DO THIS, DO WE HAVE THE CREWS WHO DO THIS? AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT JUMPING THE LIST. 
          NOW I'M TALKING ABOUT ADDING IT TO THE END OF OUR LIST AT 2022. 
          AND THAT'S WHERE I'M AT. 
          WE JUST MOTION TO ADD IT TO THE LIST. 
          IT WASN'T GOING TO JUMP ANYBODY STREET. 
          SO THERE WAS OKAY. 
          I NEED TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH IS THIS GOING TO COST US WHERE THE CREWS WERE AVAILABLE AND AT WHAT TIME? OKAY. 
          SO WHEN WE, YEAH, GO AHEAD. 
          SO WHEN WE STARTED A DISCUSSION, THE DISCUSSION OF STREETS, WE WERE GIVEN A, UH, AN X AMOUNT OF STREETS FOR THAT BUDGET. 
          WE'VE ALREADY MET THAT WE'VE ALREADY DECIDED. 
          AND WE SENT OUT ON THE STREETS FOR THIS YEAR. 
          WE'RE NOT SAYING NO TO THIS STREET. 
          AND I AGREE WITH YOU THAT, THAT SHE NEEDS TO BE FIXED. 
          AND, UH, ALONG WITH EVERYBODY ELSE OR ALONG THE OTHER STREETS, IT SAYS UNDETERMINED ON HERE. 
          IT'S COMMON SENSE. 
          WE DON'T HAVE, WE DON'T KNOW IF WE HAD A FUNDING. 
          WE WERE TOLD WE HAD FUNDING FOR 20 STREETS. 
          IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, WE GAVE YOU THE 20 STREETS ON WESTBOUND WORKING ON ONCE. 
          ONCE WE'RE DONE WITH THE 20 STREETS AND THERE'S MONIES AVAILABLE, WE CAN EDIT ON, TELL YOU THAT WILL BE, IT WILL BE MONEY AVAILABLE. 
          BECAUSE LAST YEAR WE HAD ALLOCATED TWO TO ALMOST $2 MILLION FOR 12 STREETS. 
          AND ALL OF THEM GOT DONE WITH STILL A BUDGET REMAINING OF A MILLION DOLLARS. 
          AND THIS TIME WERE THAT THOSE WERE, THOSE WERE, UM, WE PICKED UP THE ASPHALT AND WE RE THROUGHOUT LIONSTONE AND THEN RESURFACE. 
          THIS IS JUST A SIMPLE OVERLAY. 
          AND, AND MR. FABI, LA I'M SORRY. 
          UM, THE PREVIOUS PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, MR. VASQUEZ GAVE US A QUOTE OF WHAT IT WOULD COST PER LINEAR FOOT. 
          IT'S ON THE PAST AGENDA ITEM. 
          SO TACKING IT ON. 
          IT'S NOT THAT EXPENSIVE WHEN YOU'RE JUST DOING A SIMPLE OVERLAY. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO IF YOU COME NEXT MEETING AND HAVE ANOTHER STREET THAT YOU WANT TO ADD IN AND, UH, COMMISSIONER SANCHEZ AND THEN THE MAYOR AND THEN ME, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, BRING IT, WE CANNOT GET INTO THIS. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S IT. 
          OKAY. 
          THERE WAS A MOTION. 
          YOU I'LL GET TO TALK TO HER, JUST BE, CAUSE YOU KEEP TELLING US TO BE QUIET, BUT WE ALL WANT TO TALK TO, WELL, NO, I WAS STILL TALKING. 
          SO I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND WHERE I'M COMING FROM. 
          YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANT TO OPEN UP A CAN OF WORMS WHERE EVERY BIT IS GOING TO BE MAKING SUGGESTIONS OF STREETS BECAUSE WE KNOW WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH STREETS. 
          OKAY. 
          IT'S NOT JUST STEPHANIE LANE. 
          IT'S NOT JUST A WENT, IT'S NOT, NO, NO, NO. 
          THERE'S NUMEROUS STREETS. 
          BUT THE THING IS WE HAVE ALREADY ESTABLISHED THE 20, 22 LISTS. 
          WE HAVE A GOAL OF FINISHING UP THIS GLAZE AND YEAH, WE'LL TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION OF ADDING THEM AGAIN. 
          BUT LIKE I SAID, LET'S NOT GET INTO THE PRACTICE OF DOING THIS. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S FOR SURE. 
          I JUST WANT TO GIVE, YOU KNOW, FOLLOW UP ON MY THOUGH. 
          SO IT'S NOT THE MONEY. 
          I THINK IT'S JUST THE FAIRNESS. 
          WE ALREADY HAVE A LIST. 
          WE HAVE THESE PEOPLE EXPECTING THEIR STREETS TO GET FIXED. 
          AND I THINK THERE'S HUNDREDS OF STREETS THAT NEED TO GET FIXED IN THIS CITY. 
          SO YEAH, I MEAN, IT'S RIDICULOUS HOW MANY STREETS WE NEED TO GET FIXED. 
          SO GIVING THEM PRIORITY OVER THE REST WITHOUT GIVING EVERYBODY ELSE A CHANCE TO NOW COME IN HERE, LIKE WE'RE JUST OPENING A CAN OF WORMS AND WE NEED TO STICK TO THE LIST. 
          AND THE NEXT YEAR, WHEN WE HAVE THE NEW LIST COMING UP. 
          THAT'S WHEN WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY, LIKE WE ALREADY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS PLACE TO PUT IN THE STREETS THAT WE BELIEVE NEED TO GET FIXED NEXT. 
          AND THERE WAS EVERYTHING WAS GOING TO BE BOARDED ON ANYWAY. 
          SO IT WAS NOT GOING TO BE, NOBODY WAS GOING TO BE JUMPED OVER. 
          I THINK THERE'S A MOTION AT TABLE ONE. 
          WE GOT A MOTION RIGHT NOW. 
          I COULD SEE THAT IT'S A ROLLING LIST. 
          I MEAN, IT'S A ROLLING LIST, RIGHT? SO, I MEAN, THERE'S NO ISSUE. 
          I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT IT'S JUST ADDING IT TO, YOU KNOW, AS A PRIORITY FOR NEXT TIME. 
          AND THAT'S, WE TALKED ABOUT FAIRNESS AND I THINK THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT UP, UM, PULLING UP A RUBRIC SYSTEM TO DETERMINE IF THE STREET MEETS THE CERTAIN QUALIFICATIONS THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR, SUCH AS TRAFFIC, UH, PROXIMITY TO BUSINESSES 
          [02:05:01]
IN SCHOOLS AND, UH, THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          RIGHT. 
          UM, BUT WE VOTED THAT NO ONE WANTED THAT OPTION BECAUSE OF SOME SORT OF CIRCUMSTANCES. 
          UH, BUT OKAY. 
          WE'VE GOT A MOTION BY, UH, MR. PUTIN, FRANCO AND SECOND BY COMMERCIAL GARCIA TO TABLE AND ALL IN FAVOR GANG IN OKAY. 
          MOST OF THE TABLE AND ANY NAYS I NE OKAY. 
          SO MOTION PASSES TO TABLE MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS TABLE UNTIL WHEN NEXT MEETING OR UNTIL THE NEXT TIME WE BRING UP, UH, WE, WE, WE, WE ESTABLISHED WHAT WE'VE HAD AND WE'VE DONE. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          SO WE HAVE A NEW PUBLIC WORK STRUCTURE COMING OUT, COMING ON BOARD IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS. 
          UH, HIS BACKGROUND IS ROADS AND DRAINAGE. 
          UM, SO, UH, WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH HIM BECAUSE THAT WAS ONE OF THE SKILLSETS THAT WE THOUGHT WE NEEDED BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAVE AN ENGINEER. 
          WE'VE GOT SOMEBODY IN BETTER AND WE'VE GOT PEOPLE THAT CAN HANDLE WATER AND SEWER. 
          SO, UH, MAYOR, IF IT IS, UH, WE WILL RUN THOSE TABULATIONS, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO BRING IT BACK PROBABLY FOR ABOUT A MONTH. 
          AND THEN WE'LL TELL YOU WHERE WE'RE AT, BECAUSE PRICES DID CHANGE. 
          UM, AND IN FAIRNESS IS THAT WE JUST PUT, YOU KNOW, IF IN FAIRNESS TO THE MAYOR, IF HE SAYS, PUT IT ON, HE'S THE MAYOR, HE DIDN'T NEED ANYBODY'S APPROVAL. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW IT'S LAST MINUTE FOR ME, I GET YOUR PERMISSION. 
          SO I KNOW, BUT I'M JUST TRYING TO, THE PROCESS IS IF I GET TWO ELECTED OFFICIALS THAT PUT IT ON, I DON'T ARGUE I PUT ON BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE ORDINANCE SAYS. 
          OKAY. 
          AND IF I MAY, YOU KNOW, UM, I BELIEVE NOT TOO LONG AGO, I THINK WE, WE APPROVED AN EXTENSION OF A BLOCK IN A CERTAIN AREA OF TOWN. 
          I BELIEVE IT WAS BALANCED OR, OR WHAT STREET WAS, IT WAS A BOY BUOY STREET. 
          OKAY. 
          AND I UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE THERE, WE'RE WORKING ON THIS, WHAT'S A FEVER. 
          RIGHT. 
          BUT, UH, I UNDERSTAND THOSE, UH, THOSE SITUATIONS, BUT WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL, LIKE I SAID, NOT CREATING A PROBLEM FOR EVERY OTHER RESIDENT. 
          UM, BECAUSE IN ALL FAIRNESS, WE HAVE A LIST FOR 20, 22 ALREADY ESTABLISHED. 
          AND THE REASON I MOTION TO TABLE IS BECAUSE I KNOW IT'LL COME BACK. 
          IT WON'T JUST, IT'S JUST NOT A NO, IT'S JUST, WHEN YOU JUST NEED THE TIME TO FIX IT, FORGOT THE STREETS WHERE WE'RE AT THE MONEY THAT WE HAVE FOR THIS BUDGET, JUST TO INCREASE THIS. 
          AND WE'LL DO A BETTER JOB AT BRINGING YOU THE NUMBERS. 
          IT'S JUST, IT CAME UP LAST MINUTE, BUT WELL, WE WILL CERTAINLY BRING IT UP AGAIN. 
          SO, UM, I FOUND THE LAST MEETING'S MINUTES, JUST SO THAT YOU GUYS CAN HAVE SOME CLARITY ON BUDGETS THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. 
          SO APPROXIMATELY 350 LINEAR FEET IS ONE CITY BLOCK AND IT'S $8,213 AT $80 A TON. 
          SO IF THE PRICES DO CHANGE, WHICH I THINK THEY MIGHT $8,000 TO 8,000, WE'RE NOT SPENDING THAT MUCH. 
          CAUSE NOW WE'RE JUST DOING A SIMPLE ASPHALT OVERLAY. 
          THAT'S JUST FOR NUMBERS FOR YOUR REFERENCE. 
          OKAY. 
          I REMEMBER 
          [21. Discussion and possible action on future park improvements to Stookey Park and the San Benito Plaza.]
21 DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTIONS OR A FEATURE PARK IMPROVEMENT, A STUPID PARK. 
          AND UH, SOMEBODY WHO PLAZA  OKAY. 
          AMERICAN VENTURES. 
          I WANT TO DO THIS REAL QUICKLY CAUSE IT'S GETTING LATE. 
          AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I NEED YOU TO THINK ON THE MR. RAMON RODRIGUEZ IS PROVIDING YOU. 
          HE'S GOING TO BE MEETING WITH THE PARKS BOARD HERE FAIRLY SOON. 
          UM, BUT IF INDICATED TO HIM IS IF WE CAN'T GET A QUORUM, WE'RE JUST GOING TO GO AHEAD AND MEET WITH IT IS BECAUSE IT'S AN ADVISORY BODY. 
          AND THEN WE'LL TELL YOU, BUT THE IDEA IS WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING FUTURE PARK IMPROVEMENTS. 
          WE HAVE TAKEN OUT THE SWIM POOL. 
          WE THOUGHT WHEN, WHEN WE WENT TO THE TEXAS MUNICIPAL LEAGUE, UH, LAST YEAR WE SAID, HEY, A SKATE PARK WOULD WORK. 
          UH, AND THAT'S KIND OF WHY WE HAVEN'T FILLED IT IN BECAUSE WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THE GRANTS. 
          WE'RE WORKING WITH SOMEBODY THAT ACTUALLY DOES THIS KIND OF WORK. 
          BUT THEN LATELY WITH THE DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB AT THE CORNER OF LESBIANS, STOOKEY PARK THAT DEVELOPMENT'S ABOUT TO MOVE FORWARD. 
          IT'S GOING TO GO IN PHASES. 
          THE HUNDRED PLUS HOMES ARE GOING TO GO IN THERE, WHICH MEANS THAT THE BASEBALL LEAGUE IS GOING TO LOSE THEIR PARKING AREA. 
          SO I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH SOCCER STEELE. 
          HE SAID, IT LOOKED MANNY. 
          HE SAYS, BESIDES THE STRIPING, AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT, THE STRIPING, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO. 
          BUT HE SAID, UH, I SAID, WHAT DO YOU THINK IF, IF WE, UH, UTILIZE FOR THE POOL, WAS THAT AS ADDITIONAL PARKING, HE GOES, YOU KNOW WHAT? WE'VE ACTUALLY TALKED ABOUT IT. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, WE WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME INPUT FROM THE OTHERS, BUT, UH, SOME OF THE CONVERSATIONS I'VE HAD WITH SOME OF Y'ALL DIDN'T, WELL, MAYBE WE MOVED THE SKATE PARK. 
          WE GET A SMALLER FOOTPRINT CLOSER TO THOSE FRESNO'S, BUT MOVE IT FROM WHERE THE POOLSIDE, RIGHT. 
          IT'S ALREADY GOT THE DIPS AND SO FORTH, OR THE, YOU KNOW, THE HOLE IN THE GROUND. 
          WHAT HAVE WE RELOCATED TO THE PAVILION SIDE AND PUT IT OVER THERE AND MADE THAT AREA ADDITIONAL PARKING BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE ALL THE BASEBALL FIELDS ARE ADD. 
          AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT IS WHAT WOULD IT TAKE NOW THAT BASEBALL SEASON'S OVER WITH AND BECAUSE OF WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND THE WORLD WITH THE, OF ALL THE TEXTS AND STUFF, YOU'LL SEE A POLICE PRESENCE, BUT WE WANT TO WORK ON THE BAIT THAT PARKING LOT 
          [02:10:01]
STRIPE IT, UH, WE HAD PEOPLE THAT PARKED WHERE THEY SHOULDN'T PARK. 
          WE'VE HAD PEOPLE THREATEN OTHER PEOPLES WITH VIOLENCE BECAUSE THEY'RE AGITATED. 
          THESE THREATS ARE NOW SERIOUS TO US TODAY. 
          SO WE NEED TO ADDRESS THIS. 
          THE PARK IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS ANY STREET TO ME. 
          SO THAT'S MY SALES PITCH. 
          THE REASON BEING IS WE GET 800 PEOPLE AT THAT PARK FOR MANY MONTHS AND A LOT OF ACTIVITIES, THE BOYS CLUB USING THE PARKING LOT TOO. 
          YEAH. 
          AND, AND, AND RIGHT NOW SINCE THE, THE, THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB PAVILION HAS BEEN DAMAGED, THEY'RE, THEY'RE USING OUR BASEBALL FIELD OR THE SOCCER FIELD, AND THEY'RE USING THE PAVILION, WHICH IS ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF STICKY PARK. 
          UH, BUT PART OF IT ALSO IS, IS WE WERE CONSIDERING GIVING, UH, DOING SOMETHING WITH THE CABOOSE CONVERSATIONS HAD BEEN, MAYBE WE RELOCATED BECAUSE IT'S PART OF OUR HERITAGE, OUR WAR MEMORIAL, UH, WHERE OUR MEN AND WOMEN WENT OFF TO MOURN DIDN'T COME BACK THAT WE SHOULD GIVE THAT CABOOSE A MUCH MORE PRESENCE. 
          WELL, THE PROBLEM IS, IS THE COST. 
          UH, I GAVE YOU ONE CAUSE THAT'S ALREADY IN THERE AND WE HANDED YOU ONE A 40,000, UH, 40, 41,000, UH, FOR MATERIALS, UH, YOU KNOW, THE PAD SITE. 
          SO WE DID A COMPARISON. 
          WE GOT TWO COMPANIES THAT ARE BOTH BY BOARD. 
          UM, THE OTHER ONE CAME IN AT 20,000, BUT HE DOESN'T HAVE MATERIAL CALLS. 
          SO YOU CAN ADD ANOTHER, I WOULD SAY I PROBABLY PUT ABOUT 15,000 FOR THE GEO-TECHNICAL. 
          IN OTHER WORDS, YOU WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHEN YOU BRING THIS HEAVY CABOOSE, IF YOU RELOCATE IT AND PUT IT AT THE SAN BENITO PLAZA, UH, ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE MUSEUM. 
          SO YOU'D SEE IT FROM, FROM A STINGER, YOU WOULD SEE THE, UH, FORMER OLD LIBRARY ON THE WESTERN SIDE, THE CABOOSE ON THE, ON THE EASTERN, AND THEN THE MUSEUM ON THE NORTH SIDE, KINDA LIKE BECAUSE THE, THE ENTIRE WESTERN SIDE IS WHERE WE WOULD HAVE EVENTUALLY WE WANT TO PUT UP FENCING. 
          WE HAVE FUNDS TO PUT UP A NICE FENCE. 
          PART OF THE OLD BONDS THAT WERE ISSUED FOR THE, SOMEBODY TO PLAZA. 
          IT IS A PARK IT'S GOT RENTAL RATES. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, BUT IF WE DON'T RELOCATE IT BECAUSE THE COST, THEN DO WE PROTECT THIS ASSET? DO WE'VE FIXED THE VANDALISM? DO WE PROVIDE BETTER LIGHTING? DO WE PROVIDE CAMERAS? DO WE PUT A COVER ON IT TO TRY TO PROTECT IT FROM THE ELEMENTS IT'S STABLE? IT'S JUST IN AN AREA THAT GETS VANDALIZED BECAUSE PEOPLE DO BAD THINGS WHEN YOU CAN'T SEE THEM FROM THE ROAD. 
          SO, UH, SO WE, WE WANT TO GET SOME INPUT FROM YOU, TALK TO YOUR FOLKS AT THE PARKS BOARD, TALK TO US, BUT WE WANT A CONSENSUS. 
          WHAT DO WE WANT TO DO? WE DON'T WANT TO, YOU KNOW, AND IF NOT, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH PUTTING UP FENCING, PAVING, DOING SOME OTHER AREAS, BECAUSE WE WOULD LIKE, AND IT'S LIKE WE DO SATURDAY WHEN WE MEET WITH OUR GUESTS FROM ACROSS THE BORDER, UM, THAT SAN BENITO PLAZA IS UNDERUTILIZED. 
          AND ONCE WE PUT UP A FENCE AROUND THE PERIMETER, IT WILL BE WHERE FAMILIES CAN BE. 
          AND WE WON'T WORRY ABOUT KIDS GOING ON TO STEAM OR, OR THE AREAS WHERE THERE'S TRAFFIC. 
          SO YES, SIR. 
          BUT IF YOU MOVE TO A SEMINAL POSITIVE, WHAT DO YOU UH, WANT TO DO WITH THAT? PEOPLE WALK IN AND WALK OUT, OR I WOULDN'T LIKE TO MAKE THAT WORK WHEN IT'S CLOSED, WHEN WE'RE CLOSED, WE LOCK IT. 
          AND WE HAVE, THE PAD WOULD BE BUILT AND IT WOULD HAVE A SMALL CHAIN AROUND IT JUST CLOSED, BUT RESTORE IT, DO SOMETHING WITH THE INTERIOR, FIX IT BACK UP, MAKE IT WHERE PEOPLE CAN GET UP IN THERE. 
          UH, AND LOOK, IT'S NOT A PLAYGROUND. 
          IT'S NOT SOMETHING KIDS CAN GET HURT. 
          SO, SO THE, THE, THE LAND ACROSS THE OLD FIRE STATION AND ACROSS THE MEMORIAL, BUT PLAZA OR PARK, WOULD THAT BE CONSIDERED MOVING IT THERE JUST AS A, WELL, I DON'T THINK SCOTT YOU'VE GOT EASEMENTS BECAUSE UNION PACIFIC YOU'RE ENCROACHING WITH UNDER THERE. 
          DID I KNOW THAT I KNOW THAT THERE'S, THERE'S AREAS THERE, THAT THE PD USED TO STORE ALL THE BIKES STOLEN BIKES AND STUFF LIKE THAT THERE. 
          YEAH. 
          I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH EXACTLY. 
          I KNOW WHERE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ROBERT CROSS AND IT'S BY THE ROAD TRUCKS. 
          AND SO IT WOULD BE THAT NORTHEAST CORNER, BUT THE PROBLEM IS, I DON'T BELIEVE YOU'VE GOT RIGHTS RIGHTS THERE. 
          UH, YOU, YOU MIGHT'VE BEEN THERE AT ONE TIME AND UNION PACIFIC SET AND YOU JUST IGNORED IT. 
          YOU'RE NOT THERE. 
          NOW YOU TRY TO GO BACK ON THERE. 
          UH, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WORK ON A LEASE AGREEMENT, SOME TYPE OF INSURANCE, BECAUSE I MEAN, I SAY IT JUST BECAUSE IT'S NEXT TO THE, UH, MEMORIAL PLAZA. 
          YEAH. 
          BUT HERE'S THE THING, IT'S NOT AT THE WAR MEMORIAL. 
          YOU GOT TO WALK ACROSS THE STREET. 
          RIGHT. 
          I MEAN, THOSE ARE THE HAZARDS IS WHEN PEOPLE, AND THAT'S MY, IT'S ALWAYS BEEN MY CONCERN WHEN YOU HAVE THE GENERAL PUBLIC ON A ROADWAY AND YOU HAVE SOMEBODY THAT'S NOT PAYING ATTENTION AND DRIVING A VEHICLE THROUGH. 
          OH, SO, I MEAN, I KNOW IT'S LOCATED OVER, OVER AT THE STOKEY PARK OR OUR MUNICIPAL PARK, BUT, UH, WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE? WHY IS IT THERE? 
          [02:15:01]
WHAT, WHAT IS THE, AND YOU WOULD HAVE TO TELL ME, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW THE HISTORY OF WHY THE CABOOSE ENDED UP THERE AND THEN NO. 
          CAUSE I LIKE THE IDEA THAT YOU'RE PRESENTING BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT. 
          YES. 
          WE HAVE NUMEROUS PICTURES OF OUR SOLDIERS, UH, LEAVING FOR WAR, UH, FROM THE TRAIN STATION HERE AT THE, UH, UM, DOWNTOWN WAR MEMORIAL. 
          BUT IF YOU BRING IT OVER TO, UH, WAS IT THE PLAZA PLAZA, UH, WOULD YOU, WOULD, WHAT IS IT GOING TO BE LIKE, UH, YOU'RE GOING TO SET IT UP LIKE, UH, UH, JUST, UH, A PICTURE PLACE OR, I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW. 
          UH, AND BURLINGTON SAID ALSO THE BRAVO TRUCKS BEHIND JANELLA'S THAT AREN'T BEING UTILIZED. 
          I GUESS PART OF THE ORIGINAL RAILWAY ARE AVAILABLE. 
          I GUESS SHE'S LOOKED INTO IT PRIOR TO THIS, UM, THAT THEY'RE AVAILABLE TO BE REMOVED OUTSIDE. 
          SHE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GOOD IF WE DO PLACE IT BY THE MUSEUM. 
          WE COULD ALSO PUT IT ON TRACKS JUST FOR LIKE VISUALIZATION FOR NO, BECAUSE I I'VE SEEN, UH, A RAIL, A RAIL CAR LIKE THAT OVER AT A PELICAN STATION RIGHT. 
          IN THE PARKING LOT SET UP LIKE THAT. 
          SO IS THAT WHAT YOU, YES, SIR. 
          OKAY. 
          SO YOU JUST WANT TO SALVAGE SOMETHING THAT'S JUST SITTING OVER THERE AND MAYBE MAKE IT IT'S KIND OF CONNECT WITH OUR COMMUNITY AND IN A SENSE THAT, UH, OKAY. 
          SHERRY WAS HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH, UH, CONSTABLE GONZALEZ ABOUT THE PAVILION. 
          HE SAYS, YOU KNOW WHAT, I FORGOT IT'S OVER THERE. 
          I SAID, IT'S NEXT TO THE CABOOSE. 
          HERE'S THE THING. 
          MOST FOLKS DON'T GO ALL THE WAY AROUND TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S A TRAIN CABOOSE THERE, OR THAT WE HAVE A PAVILION BACK THERE. 
          SO, UH, IT'S JUST NOT A UTILIZED AREA, BUT IF WE UTILIZE THE SKATE PARK AND WE MAKE IT MORE ADDITIONAL PARKING, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ADDRESS THE PARKING EVENTUALLY. 
          YEAH. 
          I THINK THERE ARE MANY THAT I THINK WE, WE TALKED IN, UH, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THAT THE PARKING IS, THERE IS A VERY, VERY LIMITED AND WITH ALL THE HOMELESS COMING IN DOWN THERE, UH, YOU KNOW, ACROSS THE ROAD. 
          SO, AND YOU GAVE ME ANOTHER OPTION THAT, UH, ON THE, UH, UH, FIRST RESPONDERS PARK, ALSO PUTTING THE SKATEBOARD OVER THERE. 
          OKAY. 
          IT TOOK A SMALLER FOOTPRINT, SMALLER PORT FRIEND OVER THERE BECAUSE WE NEED TO, UH, UTILIZE EVERY SINGLE SPACE THAT WE HAVE HERE. 
          IT'S STILL PARKED. 
          OKAY. 
          SO BY PUTTING SOMETHING IN ANOTHER ADDITION TO SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, UH, ANOTHER ITEM IN THERE, YOU'RE JUST GOING TO TAKE MORE PARKING SPACE AWAY FROM HERE AND WE NEED EVERY SINGLE INCH OF IT. 
          SO, UH, THAT WAS ANOTHER THING THAT THOUGH WE, WE HAD BROUGHT UP, YOU KNOW, THAT THE, FOR CONSIDERATION, YEAH. 
          FOR EXAMPLE, THE SKATEBOARDERS, UH, AND MARY, YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY PERSON. 
          CAUSE I HAD ANOTHER CONVERSATION WITH ANOTHER ELECTRIC WAS THE SKATEBOARDERS IS A SMALLER NUMBER THAN THE, THAN THE PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING FOR THE SOFTBALL LEAGUE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THAT FOOTPRINT, WE WORKED THERE BECAUSE FIRST RESPONDERS, COMMUNITY PARK WAS NEVER DESIGNED FOR THESE EARLY INCEPTION TO BE ONE WHERE WE WERE GOING TO HAVE LARGE CROWDS. 
          THAT'S WHY WE NEVER DESIGNED IT WITH A LARGE PARKING LOT TO HANDLE LEADS. 
          IT WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE THE CITY'S RECREATION FOR THE SOCCER LEAGUES THAT WE DO OR, OR WHATEVER. 
          AND IT WAS ALWAYS INTENDED FOR SOCCER. 
          PATTY WAS GOING TO BE MORE, PARDON ME? YEAH, IT IS. 
          SO, AND WE'VE GOT THE ADDITIONAL END THAT GOES OUT TO YOAST, BUT THE FIELDS WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK AND WE HAD SOME, SO WE'VE KIND OF MATCHED YOUR PLAN, BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO USE IT FOR OTHER THAN LEAGUES, YOU'RE GOING TO USE UP VALUABLE LAND FOR PARKING STOOKEY PARK HAS ALREADY DEVELOPED THAT RULE, THAT, YOU KNOW, USAGE THAT IT'S ESTABLISHED FOR THAT, LEAVE THAT THERE, BUT LEAVE THE OTHER PART, DISPLEASURE PAD, THE SMALLER VENUES ARE RECREATION, WHICH IS KIND OF WHY WE PROTECTED FOR OUR CITIZENS BECAUSE THESE OTHER BRINGS A LOT OF PEOPLE IN, IN IT'S GREAT. 
          AND IT'S GOOD FOR WHEN WE'RE HAVING THOSE TYPE OF LARGE EVENTS THERE, BUT WHERE DO OUR, YOU KNOW, SPLASH PADS, SKATE PARK, WE'RE NOT LOOKING TO ATTRACT OUTSIDERS TO USE UP THOSE FACILITIES. 
          THOSE ARE FOR OUR CITY. 
          YEAH. 
          THERE'S TWO, THERE'S TWO PARKING LOTS ON, ON THE SIDE OF STINGER STREET. 
          OH, THAT COULD UTILIZE WELL. 
          AND THAT'S THE ONE BY THAT PAVILION AND IT'S. 
          YEAH. 
          AND, AND AGAIN, WE, AT ONE TIME WE WERE USING THAT PAVILION FOR RENTALS, BUT WE DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THE RENTALS WERE BY , UH, BEER PARTIES CAN SING IT. 
          THOSE THINGS SHOULDN'T BE OCCURRING AT OUR PARKS. 
          AND PLUS WE HAVE FOUR DIFFERENT EVENT CENTERS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THIS PLACE THAT PEOPLE CAN HAVE THOSE KINDS OF EVENTS THERE. 
          WE WANT TO MAKE THESE THINGS AVAILABLE, WHERE WE HAVE THOSE FAMILY RELATED FAMILY TYPE ACTIVITIES. 
          AND AGAIN, THAT TRAIN CABOOSE, NOBODY GOES THERE AND LET'S, LET'S GO SEE IT THERE. 
          IT'S JUST THERE. 
          BUT SO TALK TO YOUR BOARD MEMBERS. 
          AND I'VE SEEN A LOCOMOTIVE LIKE THAT. 
          AND, UH, I WAS IN ALASKA, A FISHING TRIP. 
          THEY HAD, THEY HAD TO JUST SET UP IN A, IN A PARK AND IT WAS JUST A RANDOM LOCOMOTIVE THERE ALONG 
          [02:20:01]
THE WALKING TRAIL. 
          I STOPPED TO READ IT. 
          AND THAT'S THE ONLY REASON I WOULD HAVE VISITED BECAUSE IT WAS ON THE TRAIL. 
          SO JUST SOMEONE PUTTING IT SOMEWHERE WHERE IT'S A BETTER USE OR AT LEAST APPRECIATE IT AS AN ARTIFACT. 
          UM, I THINK THE DEPOSIT IS A GOOD, GOOD STARTING POINT. 
          MAYBE PUT IT AS A BACKDROP FOR A STAGE OR SOMETHING. 
          I DON'T KNOW. 
          IT, IT BRINGS UP JUST, JUST KIND OF MAKE IT MORE, A CULTURAL VIBE THERE. 
          AND WE'LL LOOK AT THE, AT THE, UH, THE ARM FOR SETTING IT ON TRUCKS, BUT IT NEEDS TO HAVE A GOOD FOUNDATION. 
          WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S SECURE THAT IT'S, YOU KNOW, THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO, THE FOUNDATION IS NOT GOING TO CRACK IT. 
          IT'S GOT ALL THE SUBSURFACE WORK THAT IT NEEDS. 
          IT, IT IS PROPERLY ENGINEERED, BUT YOU KNOW, AGAIN, WHERE THERE'S 20,000 OR CLOSE TO 40,000, THAT'S THE PRICE POINT THAT WE'RE AT, BUT YOU ONLY GET ONE CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT. 
          IF NOT, YOU'RE GOING TO BE DOING IT AGAIN. 
          CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S ALL I HAD TO SAY. 
          AND I, AND WE CAN BRING IT UP AGAIN LATER ON. 
          OKAY. 
          WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO NO ACTION ON THE ITEM. 
          NUMBER 21. 
          OKAY. 
          NUMBER 22, A GERMAN THROUGH, I HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN MOTION BY COMMISSIONER AS A SCIENTIST. 
          SECOND BY COMMISSIONER GARCIA. 
          ONLY FAVOR ANY NAYS MOTION PASSES TO ADJOURN. 
          THE TIME IS 7 51 AND WE'RE ADJOURN.
