ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NOTHING.

I'D LIKE TO SAY, MAYOR, UM, WE HAD AN EVENT THIS PAST SATURDAY WITH THE JUNTO MUSEUM.

UM, EVERYBODY THAT ATTENDED IT WAS, IT WAS A GREAT EVENT.

IF YOU DIDN'T GO, YOU MISSED SOMETHING.

UM, I'D JUST LIKE TO CONGRATULATE THE ONES THAT PUT IT TOGETHER, THE AVILA FAMILY.

UM, JUST THEIR DAD WOULD BE SO PROUD OF THEM.

UH, ITEM NUMBER FIVE, PUBLIC COMMENTS.

RUTH, DO WE HAVE ANYBODY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT? YES, MA'AM.

WE HAVE, UH, MS. EDITH DAMES.

OKAY, MR. MISS, GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS MAYOR.

MAYOR .

MY NAME IS EDITH TAMEZ BBA.

I LIVE AT 7 68 COMFORT LANE HERE IN SAN BONITO.

AND THE REASON I'M HERE TODAY IS TO TALK ABOUT THE, THE LITTLE ANIMALS AT THE SHELTER.

AS YOU KNOW, I'M ONE OF THE ADVOCATES FOR THE, THE ANIMALS, AND WE ARE HAVE A LITTLE GROUP CALLED FURRY FRIENDS.

AND OF COURSE, UH, I WENT OUT THERE TO CHECK ON THEM AND I TAKE PICTURES TO TRY TO MARKET THEM FOR ADOPTION AND RESCUING.

AND IF, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN OUT THERE, BUT IF YOU HAVEN'T, YOU SHOULD GO OUT THERE.

IT'S A, UM, CARPORT TYPE OF FACILITY.

UH, THERE'S NO

[00:05:01]

AC SO THE REASON I'M HERE TODAY IS TO ASK, UH, IF WE COULD POSSIBLY GET SOME FANS OUT THERE, OR MAYBE ONE LARGE FAN.

IT'S BEEN A RECORD NUMBER OF DAYS THAT ARE OVER A HUNDRED DEGREES IN TEMPERATURE AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GONNA CONTINUE THAT WAY.

UM, MAYBE SOME KIND OF AWNING TO BLOCK THE SUN AND ON ONE SIDE OF THE MORNING AND THE OTHER SIDE IN THE EVENING, OR MAYBE A MISTER.

UM, JUST SOMETHING TO MAKE IT A BIT MORE COMFORTABLE FOR THESE DOGGIES.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE FOUR THAT ARE ABOUT FIVE TO SIX WEEKS OLD.

THEY'RE LITTLE, SO THEY PROBABLY SHOULD BE IN AC.

AND WE HAVE, UM, MAMA, UNEXPECTED MAMA THAT'S OUT THERE AS WELL.

SHE SHOULD PROBABLY BE IN AC AS WELL, BUT THAT'S NOT THE SITUATION.

AND SO I'M JUST HERE TO, TO ASK FOR THAT IF, IF POSSIBLE THAT WE HAVE, THIS WOULD BE CONSIDERED AN EMERGENCY.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT WOULD BE, BUT IF WE HAVE THE FUNDS AND SOMETHING LIKE THAT COULD BE DONE.

AND OF COURSE, BECAUSE OF THE HEAT, IT'S VERY DRY OUT THERE.

SO THEN WE HAVE MORE TICKS AND FLEAS.

SO IF THERE'S ANY WAY TO GIVE THEM PROTECTION FROM THE TICKS AND FLEAS, THAT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU MA'AM.

ANYBODY ELSE? UH, RUTH? NO, SIR.

UH, CURRENTLY THERE IS A BOARD MEMBER THAT'S TAKING THAT PLACE, AND THAT EXP THAT TERM DOESN'T EXPIRE UNTIL, UM, NEXT YEAR, 2024.

THAT'S WHY WE GOT YOU RIGHT THERE.

I'VE BEEN OUT THIS MORNING.

[9. Consideration and possible action to approve a Master Schedule Agreement with Civic Plus for the City Commission Agenda Package, an initial investment of $8,204.20.]

UH, OKAY.

ITEM NINE.

UM, WE HAVE, UH, MR. A AUGUSTIN CARRERA ON THIS ONE.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR.

MAYOR PROTE, UH, COMMISSIONERS WAS INCA LIBRARY DIRECTOR FOR THE RECORD.

ON JUNE 7TH OF THIS YEAR, I RECEIVED NOTICE THAT ATTENDEES WOULD BE DISCONTINUING THE, UH, APPLICATION AND SERVICE EFFECTIVE ON SEPTEMBER 30TH.

ON JUNE 12TH.

THEN CITY ADMINISTRATOR NOTIFIED COMMISSION THAT WE WOULD BE LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT THAT COULD PROVIDE SIMILAR SERVICES.

UM, WE MET WITH TWO VENDORS AND TOOK PART IN THEM, UH, PROVIDING DEMOS.

AS A RESULT OF THESE, UH, TWO DEMO MEETINGS, UH, STAFF IS, UH, REQUESTING CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE THE MASTER SCHEDULE AGREEMENT WITH CIVIC PLUS FOR THE CITY COMMISSION AGENDA PACKAGE PREPARATION.

UH, CIVIC PLUS PROVIDES VERY SIMILAR SERVICE TO AGENDAS IN WHICH IT MAKES THE SUBMISSION OF AGENDA ITEMS, INCLUDING EXHIBITS AND ATTACHMENTS VERY EFFICIENT.

CIVIC PLUS WILL WORK DILIGENTLY TO TRY TO SET UP OUR TEMPLATES BEFORE THE SEPTEMBER 30TH END OF SERVICE, UH, FROM AGENDAS.

THE TIMELINE THAT THEY, UM, HAVE GIVEN US.

IF WE TURN IN A SIGNED AGREEMENT, WE SHOULD HAVE PHASE ONE LAUNCHED BY SEPTEMBER 22ND.

SO IT'S BEFORE THE, UM, UM, END OF, UH, SERVICE FROM AGENDAS.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO EXCUSE MY IGNORANCE ON THIS.

I'M, I'M, I'M NOT SURE THAT I'M CLEAR.

I READ THROUGH THE AGREEMENT, BUT I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT SERVICES THAT THEY'RE PROVIDING FOR US.

UH, WHAT AGENDAS CURRENTLY PROVIDES IS THE, UH, FLEXIBILITY FOR DIRECTORS TO TURN IN THEIR AGENDA ITEMS AND ADD ANY EXHIBITS OR, UH, ATTACHMENTS SO THAT OUR CITY SECRETARY CAN GET THE PACKET READY FOR COMMISSION.

SO THAT WILL BE FOR THE, UH, THIS, THIS, UH, THIS, UH, AGENDA.

I MEAN THIS, UH, FOR THIS MEETING, I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT, UM, I'M JUST, IS IS THIS SOME SORT OF GOVERNMENT REGULATION WHERE WE HAVE TO HAVE, I MEAN, I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY IT HAS TO BE SECURE AND OPEN AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF, SO MM-HMM.

, I'M JUST, I'M, I'M JUST, IT'S JUST SOMETHING NEW TO ME IN TERMS OF UNDERSTANDING WHAT IT IS THAT THIS SERVICE DOES.

UH, THE CURRENT AGENDAS GOES THROUGH SWAGGART, WHICH IS THE, UM, THE COMPANY.

WE, WE, UH, GO FOR THE, UH, VIDEOTAPING.

UM, BUT THAT COMPANY IS NO LONGER GOING TO BE PROVIDING THAT SERVICE.

SO WE HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER COMPANY THAT WILL PROVIDE, UM, THE FLEXIBILITY FOR CITY STAFF TO GET ALL THE DOCUMENTATION THAT WE PRESENT IN FRONT OF THE COMMISSION.

WE CURRENTLY USE, I'M SORRY.

WE CURRENTLY USE CIVIC PLUS ALSO FOR OUR CITY WEBSITE.

SO WE'VE ALREADY, WE ALREADY DEAL WITH THEM.

UH, WE JUST, WE'RE NOT USING THEM FOR THIS SERVICE.

DOES, UM, DO THEY OFFER US LIKE A, LIKE MAYBE A TWO MONTH TIMEFRAME OF A SAMPLE TO TRY IT OUT TO SEE IF THE STAFF LIKES IT? HAS THE STAFF USED IT? UH, MS. RUTH AND I, WE SAT, SAT THROUGH THE DEMO AND THEY WENT THROUGH ALL THE, UH, HIGHLIGHTS OF WHAT THE, THE PRODUCT WILL LOOK LIKE.

UM, AND IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE.

SO OUR STAFF WOULDN'T TAKE LONG TO PICK UP, UM, ON HOW TO USE IT.

IT'S VERY USER-FRIENDLY.

OH, I KNOW.

UH, BEFORE I CAME ON BOARD, WE WERE USING A LOT OF PAPER AND WE WOULD GET A BINDER THIS BIG EVERY MEETING, AND THEN WE IMPLEMENTED THE LAP, UH, THESE, UH, TABLETS AND EVERYTHING IN PDF FORM IS, IS UM, PUT ONLINE AND THEN WE EACH HAVE THE LINK.

THAT'S THE WAY IT'S DOWNLOADABLE SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO COME PICK UP A BIG BINDER OR RUTH DOESN'T HAVE TO, OR THE STAFF DOESN'T HAVE TO KEEP PROVIDING A USB DRIVE TO KEEP UPLOADING.

SO IT JUST MAKES IT A LITTLE MORE, UM, EFFICIENT.

EFFICIENT.

UM, I, I LIKE IT IF YOU, THE STAFF LIKES IT.

UM, BUT WHAT ABOUT SERVICES LIKE DROPBOX, UM, OR GOOGLE DRIVE? ARE, ARE WE NOT ALLOWED TO USE THOSE? CUZ THEY'RE NOT, MAYBE THE SAFETY IS NOT THERE.

THE SECURITY OF IT? YES.

UM, RIGHT NOW WITH THIS PRODUCT, UM, IT'S EASIER FOR OUR CITY SECRETARY TO GET THE PACKET

[00:15:01]

TOGETHER.

OTHERWISE EVERY DIRECTOR WOULD HAVE TO BRING TONS OF PAPERS SO THAT SHE CAN SCAN THEM SO THAT SHE CAN CREATE THE PDF FOR THE COMMISSIONERS.

UM, THIS PROGRAM ALLOWS THE DIRECTORS FROM THEIR OFFICES TO BE ABLE TO UPLOAD EVERYTHING AND OUR CITY SECRETARY WOULD GET IT INSTANTANEOUSLY.

HOW DOES THE COST COMPARE TO WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY USING? UH, BACK IN 2021? I THINK, UH, IT, THERE'S A CONSIDERABLE, UH, LARGER AMOUNT.

UM, BUT THE COMPANY WAS A SUBCONTRACTOR OF, UH, SWAGGERT.

SO I GUESS FOR THEM IT'S NOT COST EFFECTIVE AND THEY'RE JUST NOT, NOT PROVIDING THAT SERVICE ANY LONGER.

WE GOTTA HAVE IT, I GUESS.

MOTION TO APPROVE, MAYOR.

UH, OKAY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO.

SO I GOT A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER GOODMAN.

SECOND.

ITEM NUMBER 10 AND IT'S GONNA BE, UH, MR. A**L GARCIA MAYOR, MAYOR PROAM COMMISSIONERS AN GARCIA PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR.

THANK YOUR

[10. Consideration and possible action to approve Change Order Approval Request Form Number 1 from Hanson Professional Services, Inc., for the Landrum Lift Station Improvements Project RFP #2022-005-0916.]

FOR THE RECORD, THE ITEM OF FOR DISCUSSION IS TO APPROVE, UH, CHANGE ORDER REQUEST FROM HANDSOME PROFESSIONALS FOR THE LANDRUM LIFT STATION AS REQUESTED BY THE CONTRACTOR.

UH, THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT DATE WAS SET FOR 180 DAYS, UH, BASED ON, UH, RECOMMEND.

UH, THEY GOT A LETTER FROM, UH, THE MANUFACTURER ON CERTAIN MATERIALS, UH, THAT THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO RECEIVE IN TIME.

UH, IT DOES STATE THERE, IT'S IN YOUR EXHIBITS A LETTER, UH, PROVIDED BY AQUA WORKS, UH, THAT THEY RECEIVED ONE OF THE MAIN ON JUNE 27TH, BARELY FROM WHEN THEY FIRST PUT THE, THE REQUEST BACK.

I BELIEVE IT WAS IN FEBRUARY.

SO THE CONTRACTOR IS REQUESTING AN EXTENSION OF 180 DAYS, WHICH WAS THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT TO, UH, I BELIEVE NOW HE HAS, UH, THE BULK OF THE MATERIALS, UH, THEY'VE ALREADY BROKEN CROWN ON LANDRUM, SO, UH, CONSTRUCTION IS ALREADY ONGOING.

UM, THEY'RE JUST REQUESTING THAT, UH, TIME CHANGE CUZ UH, THE CONTRACT EXPIRED ON THE 15TH TO EXPIRE, UH, THIS MONTH.

JULY.

CORRECT? CORRECT.

SO NOW HE'S REQUESTING 180 DAYS, DAYS FROM TODAY? FROM TODAY, YES.

MOVING FORWARD.

AND THAT SHOULD BE PLAINTIFF FOR HIM TO FINISH UP.

THAT IS WHAT THEY REQUESTED AND THAT'S WHAT THEY, UH, ARE ASKING FOR.

SO THEY STARTED ALREADY? YES, THAT IS CORRECT.

ANYTIME YOU START A PROJECT, I'M SORRY, PETE, DID YOU HAVE, UH, YOU CAN CONTINUE.

ANY, ANY TIME YOU START A PROJECT LIKE THAT, I MEAN, YOU START TURNING DIRT AND SO ON.

WHEN WE HAVE THAT KIND OF AN EXTENSION, SIX MONTH HOURS, WORRY ABOUT, PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU'RE DIGGING HOLES FOR LIFT STATIONS AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS, WHAT ARE THE KIND OF EXTRA COSTS GONNA BE ASSOCIATED WITH JUST MAINTAINING WHAT IT IS YOU'VE ALREADY TAKEN APART? SO I, I, THAT'S, THAT'S A CONCERN BASICALLY DOUBLING THE TIME ON, ON THIS.

AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING THAT WE CAN'T GET THE SUPPLIES AND THAT KIND OF STUFF, BUT BOY, IT JUST ALSO MAKES ME WONDER HOW MANY OTHER PROJECTS WE'VE GOT OUT THERE THAT WE AREN'T, WE AREN'T DOING BECAUSE WE CAN'T GET SUPPLIES OR WHATEVER ELSE.

THE REASON IS THAT'S, I GUESS A DISCUSSION FOR THE FUTURE, BUT IT'S JUST DISHEARTENING.

IT'S CONCERNING.

WELL, LEMME PUT THIS WAY, I KNOW IT'S, UH, UM, IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA, BUT WE DO HAVE AN ITEM, UH, HEAVY EQUIPMENT, UH, ITEM EQUIPMENT THAT, UH, HAS BEEN EIGHT MONTHS COMING UP ON EIGHT MONTHS.

COMING UP ON EIGHT MONTHS.

AND THAT'S, UH, UH, VERY VALUABLE EQUIPMENT THAT'S NEEDED, UH, FOR THE STREETS AND EIGHT MONTHS WE'RE STILL WAITING FOR IT.

SO IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT THE, YOU KNOW, HOW CAN WE CROSS OUR, OUR HANDS ON THIS? BUT THE, UH, APPARENTLY THERE'S ANOTHER LOCAL, SOMEBODY ELSE THAT MIGHT HAVE IT HERE.

SO, BUT AGAIN, WHAT, WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS IT'S EVERYWHERE.

IT'S IN DIFFERENT, UH, YOU KNOW, UH, COMPANIES OR ITEMS THAT, UH, THEY DON'T HAVE IT, THAT HAVE IT IN STOCK AND THEY'RE TRYING TO BUILD IT MM-HMM.

OR THEY'RE TRYING TO SEE WHERE THEY CAN LOCATE IT.

SO, AND I BELIEVE IT ONE OF THOSE, THOSE MAIN, UH, UH, MATERIALS THAT WE'RE WAITING ON IS IT'S A SEARCH TANK THAT'S GOING IN BEFORE THE LIFT STATION.

UM, SO IT'S JUST TO ADD CAPACITY FOR THAT AREA CUZ THAT LANDRUM LIFT STATION DOES RECEIVE, UH, SEVERAL OTHER LIFT STATIONS.

SO THEY, UH, FEED INTO THAT ONE.

THEN THAT ONE FEEDS INTO OUR STINGER, OUR MAIN, UH, SO IN ORDER TO, UH, LIKE I SAID, INCREASE CAPACITY, UH, THEY DID SUGGEST THAT, UH,

[00:20:01]

SEARCH TANK.

THAT SEARCH TANK.

AND THAT'S WHAT THE, THE LEAD TIME THAT ON THAT ITEM, AND WE CAN'T REALLY, UH, NOT THEY COULD MOVE ON IT, WHICH THEY DID, STARTED DOING BYPASSING AND STUFF LIKE THAT, STARTING PRE UH, SETTING UP.

UM, BUT THAT'S ONE OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS THAT NEEDS TO GET INSTALLED BEFORE THE REST OF THE LIFT STATION CAN GET GOING.

UM, I BELIEVE ONCE THEY GET THAT ONE IN, UH, I THINK IT'LL FLOW A LITTLE BIT FASTER.

UH, THEY'VE, THEY'VE SAID THAT THEY'VE GOTTEN THE MAJORITY OF THE, OF THE MATERIAL THAT THAT'S NEEDED, SO.

SO WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO CONTROL ALL THAT ORDER.

THE, THE, THE SMELL? YES.

UH, ONCE THE YEAH, ONCE IT GETS COMPLETED, YEAH.

EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE, UH, THOSE ARE GONNA BE SUBER PUMPS AS WELL.

EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE, SO, OKAY.

THAT'LL BE OUT OF THE WAY.

DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO, TO SPEED UP THESE PROCESSES? I, I TRY TO STAY ON TOP OF THE, THE CONTRACTORS AND, AND THE ENGINEERS.

WE, WE TOUCH BASE WITH THEM ON, ON A WEEKLY, DAILY BASIS JUST TO SEE, HEY, IF, IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT WE CAN HELP OUT, I KNOW ON SOME OF THOSE, ON THAT LIFT STATION IN PARTICULAR, IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO A SCHOOL.

SO KIND OF, UH, NAVIGATING AROUND THAT AND, AND FIGURING OUT WHEN WOULD BE THE BEST, UH, TIME TO START IT AND KIND OF ALLEVIATE TRAFFIC AND ALL THAT.

UM, THAT WAS, UM, NOT AN ISSUE, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE GOT WORKED AROUND.

BUT, UM, LIKE I SAID, WE DO TAKE, UH, STAY IN CONTACT WITH THEM AS MUCH AS WE CAN TO, UH, KIND OF HELP 'EM OUT.

UM, THESE TYPE OF THINGS, THEY'RE, THEY'RE COMPLETELY OUT OF OUR, OUT OF OUR CONTROL WITH, UH, MANUFACTURERS.

ARE, ARE YOU IN CONTACT WITH ANY OTHER CITIES OR COMMUNITIES AND ARE THEY EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS? UH, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, YES.

UH, I'VE ATTENDED CERTAIN, UH, M SIX REGION MEETINGS WITH WATER.

UH, WE'VE ATTENDED THE STORMWATER, UH, CONFERENCES AND A LOT OF THE CITIES ARE GOING THROUGH THE SAME, SAME ISSUES AS WELL.

DOESN'T MAKE ME FEEL A WHOLE LOT BETTER, BUT MAYBE A LITTLE BIT.

WE'RE, WE'RE NOT ALONE, SIR.

MR. GARCIA, JUST TO BE CLEAR, THERE'S NO PRICE INCREASE FOR THIS EXTENSION, CORRECT? NO, MA'AM.

DO I HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NONE.

DO I HAVE A MOTION TO EXTEND THIS? MOTION TO APPROVE? I GOT, UM, GOT A MOTION BY MAYOR GALVAN.

SECOND.

ITEM NUMBER 11, AND AGAIN, MR. GARCIA MAYOR, MAYOR PROTON COMMISSIONERS SAN GARCIA PUBLIC WORKS RECORD FOR THE RECORD.

[11. Consideration and possible action to approve payment to Hanson Professional Services Inc., for the Alameda Lift Station Rehabilitation Project in the amount of $21,250.00.]

THE ITEM ONE FOR CONSIDERATION IS, UH, FINAL PAYMENT TO, UH, THIS ONE IS TO SOUTHERN TRENCHES OR HANSEN PROFESSIONALS, UH, FOR THE ALAMEDA LIFT STATION, UH, AND THE AMOUNT OF $21,250, UM, THAT'LL BE THE CLOSING PAYMENT FOR, FOR THAT LIFT STATION IS COMPLETELY DONE.

WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF, UH, HAVING CONVEYED OVER BACK TO THE CITY.

UM, WE DID A WALKTHROUGH ON THAT, SO WE'RE JUST FINALIZING, UH, THE FINAL DOCUMENTS ON THAT.
