Aug 01, 2022 City Council Special Session

[00:00:02]

I'M GOING TO OPEN THIS SESSION UP AT 4:00.

[1. CALL TO ORDER]

THAT BRINGS US TO SECTION TWO.

[2.A. Receive a report, hold a discussion and provide staff direction regarding Christmas Tree lighting events. (Staff Presenter: Jen Basham, Director of Parks and Recreation)]

MS. BASHAM ALL RIGHT.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

ALL RIGHT. THIS AFTERNOON, I'M GOING TO SAY EVENING BY DEFAULT.

WE'RE GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING CHRISTMAS THIS WINTER.

ALL RIGHT. SO A LITTLE BACKGROUND.

TRADITIONALLY, OUR EVENT, CHRISTMAS IN BTX IS OUR PARADE, OUR TREE LIGHTING AND THEN A CHRISTMAS DISPLAY.

THE CHRISTMAS PARADE IS PRIMARILY RAN BY OUR ROTARY CLUB THIS YEAR.

IT'S SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER 3RD.

IT WILL BEGIN AT 6:00 PM AND WE CO-SPONSOR THE EVENT BY PROVIDING PUBLIC SAFETY AND SOME SETUP FOR THAT EVENT.

BUT THE ROTARY CLUB HANDLES THE REST OF IT.

THEY DO ALL OF THE STAGING, THEY DO ALL THE REGISTRATION, THEY MANAGE THE ENTIRE EVENT.

WE ARE JUST THERE KIND OF IN THE BACKGROUND.

WORKING LOGISTICS, THE TREE LIGHTING AND CHRISTMAS DISPLAY ARE ALSO SCHEDULED FOR THAT SAME EVENING AT 7:00 PM, BEGINNING IN THE PLAZA.

SOME KEY INFORMATION ON THIS.

WE DO REQUIRE A SPECIAL EVENT APPROVAL PROCESS THAT'S REQUIRED FOR THE CHRISTMAS PARADE.

AND WE'VE ALSO STARTED DOING ALL OF OUR LARGER CITY EVENTS THAT REQUIRE ADDITIONAL OUTSIDE DEPARTMENT RESOURCES TO GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS AS WELL.

AND THEY ARE SUBMITTED TO THAT REVIEW COMMITTEE.

THAT COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF DIFFERENT MEMBERS FROM EACH DEPARTMENT PUBLIC SAFETY, PUBLIC WORKS, FINANCE, EVERYBODY'S PART OF THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT IS WHETHER IT'S AN INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL EVENT.

WE'RE LOOKING AT IT FROM ALL ANGLES.

SO THAT'S SUBMITTED FOR REVIEW BY THE BY THE CITY.

ONCE IT'S REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE COMMITTEE, THE CITY DOES ISSUE A SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT.

AND LIKE I SAID, THAT IS COMPRISED OF EVERYBODY FOR THIS EVENT, SPECIFICALLY THE ROTARY CLUB DOES THE CHRISTMAS PARADE AND THE VENDORS, AND WE DO THE REST OF THE EVENT. SO THIS IS THE ROUTE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

IT'S THE SAME ROUTE AS IN YEARS PREVIOUS.

AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT A FEW OPTIONS TO ALTER THE EVENT THIS YEAR.

SO THE CITY PART OF THIS EVENT WE HELD IN OLD TOWN.

IT IS OUR TREE LIGHTING AND A FIREWORK SHOW.

WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING THIS AFTERNOON IS TO LOOK AT THE OPTIONS FOR A DRONE LIGHT SHOW, A LASER LIGHT SHOW, OR EVEN POTENTIALLY MOVING THE FIREWORKS TO CHISINAU ON NEW YEAR'S IN LIEU OF HOSTING IT IN DOWNTOWN.

THE MAIN REASONS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING THAT IS BECAUSE WE HAVE MULTIPLE LOGISTICAL AND SAFETY CONCERNS WITH PUTTING THOSE FIREWORKS IN SUCH A DENSE FOOTPRINT.

WE HAVE SOME BETTER OPTIONS FOR THIS.

THE REASONS THAT WE'RE DOING THAT IS IT CREATES BETTER EVENT FLOW.

WE'RE LOOKING AT MANAGING OUR FOOTPRINT A LOT BETTER.

AND THEN THERE'S A LOT OF DEBRIS HAZARD WITH OUR FIREWORKS, ESPECIALLY IN THE OLD TOWN AREA AND THE CLEANUP AFTERWARDS.

FIRE IS HERE, IF YOU'D LIKE TO TALK TO THEM SPECIFICALLY FROM THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMPONENT.

I'M HERE TO TALK FROM THE PARKS AND REC SIDE.

SO THE FIRST SHOW DIFFERENCE WOULD BE THE DRONE SHOW COST IS 26,100 TO DO LASERS WOULD BE ALMOST 9000.

AND THEN TO HOST IT AS A SEPARATE EVENT WOULD ACTUALLY COST US AN ADDITIONAL 22,000.

SO THIS IS THE DRONE SHOW SOME BACKGROUND ON THE DRONE SHOW.

THE SKYELEMENTS IS THE COMPANY THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

THEY HAVE ALL THE PROPER DOCUMENTATION AND THEY ARE AUTHORIZED TO WORK IN OUR AIRSPACE.

THEY WOULD GET THE NOTAM FROM THE FAA.

THEY WOULD HANDLE ALL OF THAT.

THE CITIZENS WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE DISPLAY FROM EITHER SIDE OF THE LOCATION, BUT IT IS A 180 VIEW, SO YOU WOULD NOT SEE 360, AND IF YOU WEREN'T IN THIS SPECIFIC VICINITY, YOU WOULD NOT SEE THE SHOW.

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS REVIEWED AND IS COMFORTABLE WITH THIS FROM A SAFETY AND LOGISTICAL COMPONENT.

AND I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU JUST A SHORT CLIP OF AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THIS WOULD LOOK LIKE.

SO THIS IS THE AMOUNT OF DRONES WE ARE PROPOSING IN.

WE'LL HAVE MUSIC THAT'S CHOREOGRAPHED TO THIS.

[00:05:30]

SO THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THE DRONE SHOW WOULD LOOK LIKE.

LIKE I SAID, IT WOULD BE CHOREOGRAPHED TO MUSIC KIND OF SIMILARLY TO HOW WE DO FIREWORKS.

YOU CAN TURN YOUR RADIO STATION ON IF YOU'RE SOMEWHERE ELSE, BUT IF YOU ARE NOT IN THAT OLD TOWN FOOTPRINT, YOU'RE NOT GOING BE ABLE TO SEE THIS.

BUT IT DOES STILL PROVIDE KIND OF THE SAME EFFECT, THE SAME NOSTALGIA AND THE SAME OPPORTUNITY WITHOUT THE CONCERNS OF DEBRIS OR SAFETY FOR OUR COMMUNITY WHEN THEY'RE IN THIS FOOTPRINT. WHAT COULD CANCEL THE SHOW? WHAT KIND OF WEATHER? I'LL LET THEM ANSWER THAT.

BUT IT'S HIGH WIND.

IF WE ARE IN ANY TYPE OF BURN BAN, IF THERE'S JUST CERTAIN DIFFERENT HUMIDITY TYPES, THAT'S WHEN THAT AFFECTS OUR.

I'M TALKING ABOUT FOR THE DRONES.

DRONES THERE'S NOT THAT IT WOULD BE A LOT OF RAIN WIND.

HIGH WIND ISN'T AS BAD.

IT'S MORE RAIN BECAUSE YOU WOULDN'T SEE IT.

THE VISIBILITY WOULD BE GONE, BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE CANCELED.

OR WE COULD.

YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING? YEAH. BASED ON WEATHER EVENTS, THIS WOULD BE LESS LIKELY TO BE CANCELED THAN A FIREWORK SHOW.

OKAY. OPTION TWO IS A LASER SHOW.

THIS ONE, THE BURLESON.

OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS LOOKED AT THOSE AS WELL.

THE CHALLENGE WITH LOOKING AT THE LASER SHOW IS THAT YOU WOULD ONLY SEE THIS IF YOU WERE IN THE PLAZA.

SO IF YOU WERE ANYWHERE OUTSIDE OF THAT FOOTPRINT OF THE PLAZA ITSELF, YOU WOULDN'T SEE THIS.

SO WHEN WE'RE COMPARING GETTING RID OF FIREWORKS TO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, WE ARE KEEPING THAT IN MIND.

IT'S NOT GOING TO HAVE THE IMPACT FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

THAT BEING SAID, WE COULD BROADCAST IT FOR PEOPLE AT HOME AND IT WILL STILL BE ABLE TO BE CHOREOGRAPHED TO MUSIC.

AND I'LL SHOW YOU GUYS A CLIP OF THE ONE THAT THEY DO UP IN KELLER.

SPONSORS.

SO THAT IS A LASER SHOW.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THE LASERS? OKAY. SO THIS IS THE CURRENT COST THAT YOU SEE.

PUBLIC WORKS, PUBLIC SAFETY, OUR PARKS AND REC STAFF, TOTAL CITY STAFFING OR CURRENT EVENT COSTS US A LITTLE OVER 17,000.

THE COST TO REPLACE THOSE FIREWORKS WITH A DRONE SHOW, THE TOTAL EVENT COST WOULD BE $32,000, WHICH WOULD BE A NET INCREASE OF ABOUT 15,000.

TO REPLACE OUR FIREWORKS WITH A LASER SHOW WOULD ACTUALLY NOT NET AN INCREASE TO OUR ORIGINAL BUDGET.

AND THEN I'LL GIVE YOU GUYS OPTION THREE, WHICH WOULD BE TO HOST OUR TREE LIGHTING AND A PARADE WITHOUT DRONE LASER OR FIREWORKS.

WE JUST DO THE TREE IN OLD TOWN AND THEN HOST A SEPARATE EVENT ON NEW YEAR'S TO CONTINUE TO OFFER THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE FIREWORKS IN BURLESON.

THE ADDITIONAL STAFF TIME THAT YOU SEE ON HERE IS ALMOST 15,000 FOR PUBLIC WORKS, PARKS, FIRE AND PD.

THE COST OF FIREWORKS ON NEW YEAR'S IS MORE EXPENSIVE.

SO 22,000 SO WOULD BE A NET INCREASE OF 25,9268.

SO STAFF'S LOOKING AT SOME OPTIONS RIGHT NOW.

WE ARE LOOKING. WHICH WAY TO GO TO SEE MOVING FORWARD AND GET THE SCHEDULE AND LOGISTICS DONE FOR THIS FALL.

SO STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THE DRONE SHOW.

WE FEEL LIKE IT HAS THE SAME IMPACT TO THE COMMUNITY AS FIREWORKS.

IT'S A LOT SAFER.

IT DOES HAVE A NET INCREASE TO THE COST, BUT IT'S PROVIDING THE SAME EXPERIENCE TO OUR COMMUNITY.

THE SECOND OPTION WOULD BE THE LASER SHOW.

THE THIRD WOULD BE TO DO FIREWORKS ON NEW YEAR'S, AND THEN THE FOURTH WOULD BE TO CONTINUE WITH THE EVENT AS IT HAS BEEN DONE TRADITIONALLY.

YOU KNOW, FOR ME, I REALLY LIKE THE DRONE SHOW, I THINK.

I LOOKED AT YOUR NUMBERS THAT YOU WERE PUTTING UP THERE, AND I THINK I THINK SOME OF THOSE NUMBERS ARE GOING TO BE OFF A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE I THINK THE FIREWORK SHOW IS GOING TO COST US MORE MONEY AND CLEAN UP.

AND THESE POOR GUYS OUT HERE, THEY'VE BEEN FIGHTING FIRES ALL YEAR LONG AND THEY SURE DON'T WANT US TO GO SET OFF A BUNCH OF FIREWORKS IN THE CITY.

AM I RIGHT OR WRONG ON THAT?

[00:10:01]

SO I THINK THE DRONE SHOW AND THE COOL THING ABOUT THE DRONE SHOW IS IT BRINGS PEOPLE TO OUR CITY.

I MEAN, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT A LOT OF PLACES DON'T HAVE.

YES. IT'S DEFINITELY GOING TO MAKE US FORWARD THINKING ON THE TREND OF HOW WE MOVE FORWARD AND AWAY FROM FIREWORKS.

SO. I THINK IT'S CREATIVE AND INNOVATIVE THE WAY THINGS, JUST HOW UNIQUE THE EXPERIENCE CAN BE. FAMILIES LOVE TO GATHER IN OLD TOWN AND SEE THE TREE LIGHTING, AND THE DOWNSIDE ABOUT LOOKING AT THE LASERS WOULD BE THERE'S AN ENORMOUS TREE IN THE CENTER, AND SO THAT WOULD TAKE OUT QUITE A BIT OF VISIBILITY.

SO IT WAS REALLY ABOUT HALF OF THE PLAZA WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE A LASER SHOW.

I THINK IT'S FUN AND AND SEEMED VERY SPIRITED.

SO AND I ALSO AGREE, I THINK FIREWORKS IN OLD TOWN, THERE'S A LOT OF RISK INVOLVED BETWEEN THE FIRES.

AND AS COUNCILMEMBER STANFORD MENTIONED, THEY DON'T WANT ANY ADDITIONAL WORK.

AND THIS MAY BE A WAY TO MOVE AND STILL DO SOMETHING FUN FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

FIRE DEPARTMENT AGREEING THAT WE DON'T NEED TO DO THE FIREWORKS.

YES, IT WAS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT'S PUBLIC SAFETY'S RECOMMENDATION THAT WE FIND AN ALTERNATIVE.

AND I AGREE WITH THE DRONE SHOW.

WHAT'S THE FOOTPRINT OF THE DRONE SHOW? YOU KNOW, WE HAVE PEOPLE TO GO ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE GOLF COURSE AND WATCH A FIREWORK SHOW.

IS THAT STILL GOING TO BE? YOU WILL NOT SEE IT FROM THAT FAR AWAY.

NO, IT WILL BE PROBABLY IN THE FOUR SQUARE BLOCKS OF OLD TOWN.

DO YOU REALIZE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE WATCHING FROM CHISHOLM PARK AND EVERY PLACE ELSE? SO WE'RE GOING TO LOSE THAT AUDIENCE, RIGHT? WE'RE GOING TO BROADCAST IT SO WE CAN DO IT VIRTUALLY.

BUT YES, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO BE ACROSS TOWN AND STILL SEE IT.

WE'RE BRINGING THE BRAINS UP.

HANG ON A SECOND. MAYOR, I DON'T THINK THE CHRISTMAS SHOW, THEY CAN TRADITIONALLY SEE IT FROM THAT FAR AWAY.

IT'S A LOW AERIAL SHOW.

SO YOU DO PRETTY MUCH HAVE TO BE IN THAT FOOTPRINT OF OLD TOWN TO SEE THE LOW AERIAL FIREWORKS SHOW.

I MEAN, I THINK YOU CAN SEE IT A LITTLE BIT FURTHER THAN OLD TOWN, BUT YOU PRETTY MUCH HAVE TO BE IN OLD TOWN.

AND FIRE MARSHAL SINGLETON'S BEEN A PART OF THAT, SETTING THAT UP FOR YEARS.

SO I THINK HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO.

SO MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THE REASON WE ARE RECOMMENDING ARE WE'RE GOING WE WANT TO GO WITH THE DRONES IS BECAUSE OUR SAFETY ZONE IS RIGHT UP AGAINST WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY CUSHION.

WE'VE HAD A FEW INCIDENTS WHERE THE FIREWORKS HAVE FALLEN OVER.

THEY'VE ONE OF THEM SHOT IN A BABY CARRIAGE.

THERE WASN'T A BABY IN THERE.

WE'VE HAD SOME PEOPLE HIT.

I THINK CHIEF DAVIS IS DAUGHTER GOT HIT WITH SOME DEBRIS.

SO IT'S OUR RECOMMENDATION AND WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT THE FIREWORKS, IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THEM, THEY MOVE TO THE BALL FIELDS AND WE DON'T HAVE THEM IN OLD TOWN.

I RESPECT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING TO BE, WE'RE NOT I DON'T WANT TO LOSE ANY OF OUR POPULATION NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THIS UNLESS THEY'RE DOWNTOWN AND WE'VE GOT A PARKING PROBLEM IN DOWNTOWN.

I WANT TO SUPPORT YOUR DECISION, BUT HOW DO WE MOVE FORWARD WITH SOMETHING JUST AS EXCITING? SO WE MET WITH THE FIREWORKS, JESSICA MARTINEZ AND MYSELF AND A FEW OTHERS AND THE FOOTPRINT FOR THE FIREWORKS SHOW, BECAUSE WE DISCUSSED IT LAST YEAR, EVEN MAYBE SHOOTING IT OFF OF THE ROOF OF CITY HALL AND MOVING IT AROUND A LITTLE BIT.

AND THE AREA IS STILL GOING TO BE CONTAINED TO DOWNTOWN.

YOU CAN'T LIKE IF YOU GO VERY FAR OUT BECAUSE THEY'RE LOW AERIALS, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE ON VERY FAR FROM DOWNTOWN.

SO IT'S THE ONES AT CHISHOLM HALL THAT JULY THE FOURTH THAT WE CAN SEE FROM, LIKE THE GOLF COURSE AND OTHER PLACES IN THAT AREA.

WELL, I'M FOR THE DRONE SHOW.

WHERE WILL THEY STAGE FOR THE DRONE SHOW? I THINK THEY'RE STILL DEFINING THAT.

I'LL BRING THAT FORWARD IN THE FUTURE.

BUT THEY WERE EXPLORING A FEW DIFFERENT OPTIONS TO MAKE SURE THEY HAD THE FOOTPRINT THEY NEEDED FOR THEM CERTAIN OUTSIDE OF NOT HAVING THE FIREWORKS, BECAUSE THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO DO THAT.

EITHER ONE'S FINE WITH ME.

I JUST MAKE ME A BIT OF DIFFERENCE.

MAYBE YOU MENTIONED THIS.

MAYBE I MISSED IT.

CAN WE NOT USE THE CAMERAS ON THIS THING AND GO AHEAD AND LET THEM WATCH IT ON THEIR COMPUTERS? YEAH, WE WILL. ELECTRONICALLY.

WE'LL PUT IT OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

THAT'S A BIG DEAL. WE'LL CATCH A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WAY.

SO FOR ME, EITHER ONE, I DON'T CARE.

[00:15:01]

YOU NEED DIRECTION OR A VOTE? JUST DIRECTION. DRONE.

DRONE IT IS. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THAT BRINGS US TO ITEM 2B RECEIVE A REPORT, HOLD A DISCUSSION AND GIVE STAFF DIRECTION REGARDING THE MOBILITY MASTERPLAN THE STAFF PRESENTED THIS AFTERNOON IS ERIC OSCARSON

[2.B. Receive a report, hold a discussion, and give staff direction regarding the Mobility Masterplan. (Staff Presenter: Eric Oscarson, Public Works Director)]

GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

GIVE ME ONE SECOND AS I PULL THIS UP.

THERE WE GO. GOOD AFTERNOON.

I'M GOING TO KICK THIS OFF AND THEN I'M GOING TO TURN THIS OVER TO MICHELLE MCCULLOUGH, THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT ENGINEERING, AND LET HER TAKE IT FROM THERE.

SO TODAY WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE THOROUGHFARE MASTER PLAN UPDATE.

TODAY, WE ARE HERE TO GET SOME FEEDBACK FROM YOU.

SEE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS BEFORE WE START PUTTING THIS IN THE FINAL PHASES.

SO MASTER PLANNING, THIS IS SOMETHING I'VE TALKED ABOUT IN THE PAST.

WHY DO WE DO MASTER PLANS AND HOW DO THE MASTER PLANS COME TO BE? SO BACK IN 2010, THE COUNCIL PASSED THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH IS THE IMAGINE BURLESON 2030 AND BACK IN 2020. A MIDPOINT UPDATE WAS DONE TO THE PLAN AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS USED FOR US TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE CITY.

THAT PLAN HELPS US ESTABLISH GOALS, OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND THE STRATEGIES WE HAVE MOVING FORWARD THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

AND WE USE THIS TO DETERMINE ZONING AND WE USE THIS TO PROVIDE DIRECTION FOR BUDGET GUIDANCE AND PRIORITIES AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

AND SO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS KIND OF THE UMBRELLA, RIGHT? IT'S THE HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW.

AND THEN UNDERNEATH THAT UMBRELLA IS A LIST OF DIFFERENT MASTER PLANS.

IN THE PAST, WE BROUGHT TOGETHER, BROUGHT YOU FOR THE WATER AND WASTEWATER MASTER PLANS.

TODAY, WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE THOROUGHFARE MASTER PLAN, WHICH TALKS ABOUT STREETS.

IT TALKS ABOUT TRAILS.

IT TALKS ABOUT SIDEWALKS.

AND SO TONIGHT, WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT THOSE PLANS SPECIFICALLY.

AND WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MICHELLE AND LET HER TAKE IT FROM THERE.

EXCUSE ME. GOOD AFTERNOON.

MICHELLE MCCULLOUGH, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS OVER DEVELOPMENT.

AND BEAR WITH ME WITH MY ALLERGIES.

I'M SORRY. WITH THIS WEATHER, IT'S NOT WORKING OUT FOR ME.

SO THE ELEMENTS OF THE MOBILITY MASTER PLAN, WE DID NOT ON THE ORIGINAL 2015 VERSION, WE DIDN'T HAVE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE INCLUDED THIS TIME.

SO WE DID TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND AT THE VERY BEGINNING TO SEE WHAT WE WANTED TO ADD.

AND ONE OF THOSE WAS PUBLIC OUTREACH.

IN THE PAST, I DON'T BELIEVE WE PUT A SURVEY OUT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT OR ANYTHING OUT.

UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN WE KICKED THIS OFF, IT WAS COVID AND SO WE DID HAVE A SERIES OF MEETINGS PLANNED, BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT.

SO WHAT WE ENDED UP DOING WAS SETTING UP AN INTERACTIVE MAP.

OUR CONSULTANT DID PUSH THAT OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA, PROVIDED A Q-CODE ON SOME SIGNS THAT WE PLACED IN THE PARKS IN OLD TOWN, JUST AT THE LIBRARY, JUST PLACES WHERE PEOPLE WERE GOING.

SO THEN THAT WAY THEY CAN JUST GO AHEAD AND USE THEIR PHONE AND TAKE THE SURVEY.

THE EXISTING SYSTEM ANALYSIS, OF COURSE, WAS INCLUDED.

THE GROWTH ANALYSIS.

WHAT WE DID ADD WAS THE SIDEWALK PLAN.

WE DO NOT REALLY HAVE A PROGRAM FOR THE SIDEWALK PLAN.

IT WAS IT'S REALLY BASED ON WHO CALLS IN WITH CONCERNS AND WHAT FUNDING IS OUT THERE.

SO WE JUST DON'T HAVE A PLAN.

WE DO HAVE A BIKE AND TRAIL PLAN.

IT WAS REALLY ONLY CONFINED TO THE CITY LIMITS.

SO SINCE WE HAVE ALL THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS OUT THERE, WHAT WE DID IS WE SAID WE NEED TO EXPAND THAT AND SEE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE IMPACT, THE ANALYSIS THAT GOES ALONG WITH IT.

AND SO WITH THE MOBILITY PLAN, LIKE I SAID, THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN, THE MTP, THIS HELPS ESTABLISH THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN.

IT DOES USE THE LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS TO AID IN THAT.

AND THEN IT DOES IT IS REQUIRED TO BE UPDATED BASED ON THE LAND USE PLAN AND ANY CHANGES EVERY FIVE YEARS, THE SIDEWALK BICYCLE TRAIL PLAN. THERE IS NO REGULATORY TIME TO REVIEW OR UPDATE IT, BUT SINCE IT IS A PART OF THE MOBILITY PLAN, WE WILL GO AHEAD AND LOOK AT IT EVERY FIVE YEARS. AND THEN OF COURSE, THE ROADWAY IMPACT FEE STUDY ALSO IS REQUIRED TO BE REVIEWED AND UPDATED EVERY FIVE YEARS.

SO THE OVERALL METHODOLOGY, WE CHANGED IT UP A LITTLE BIT AND AS I GO THROUGH IT, I'LL TRY TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW OF THOSE.

BUT 2015 IS THE LAST UPDATE THAT WE HAD TO THE MASTER PLAN.

IF YOU REMEMBER FROM THE WATER WASTEWATER UPDATE THAT WE GAVE, WE LOOKED AT THE POPULATION DATA A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY.

[00:20:05]

SO I THINK WE DID PRETTY GOOD THERE.

THE GROWTH DATA, AGAIN, WE LOOKED AT THE EXISTING PLAN DEVELOPMENTS THAT WERE CONSIDERED AGAIN THE FUTURE LAND USE.

AND OF COURSE, WE DID CONSIDER COX POPULATION PROJECTIONS AS WELL.

SO I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT PUBLIC OUTREACH.

YOU KNOW, AS I SAID, WE HAD THE SURVEY OUT THERE, INTERACTIVE MAP FROM JANUARY TO MARCH.

IT WAS PROMOTED ON THE CITY'S FACEBOOK PAGE, THE Q-CODES, AND THAT NETTED US 280 RESPONSES FROM THE 17 QUESTIONS AND A TOTAL OF 116 COMMENTS. AND THIS IS JUST A SNAPSHOT OF WHAT'S GOING TO BE INCLUDED IN THE PLAN.

70% OF THE PEOPLE WORKS FULL TIME.

WE WANTED TO KNOW WHERE DO THEY TRAVEL? DO THEY BIKE? WHAT DO THEY DO? THE SUMMARY OF THE COMMENTS.

SO YOU CAN SEE THE MAPS THERE.

THAT'S FROM THE INTERACTIVE MAP AND WHAT THE COMMENT WAS RELATED TO.

AND THE HEAT MAP JUST SHOWS THE VICINITY OF WHERE MOST OF THE COMMENTS CAME FROM.

AND SO TO JUST SUMMARIZE THEM, OF COURSE, WE HAD COMMENTS ON THE CONGESTION.

THEY CENTERED THE MAJORITY OF THEM AROUND 174 ON THE INTERSECTIONS, WHICH IS NOT SURPRISING.

WE KNOW WE HAVE ISSUES THERE.

THERE WAS A REQUEST FOR WILTSHIRE TO BE EXPANDED AND IF YOU REMEMBER, WE DO HAVE A PROJECT TODAY FROM ELK DOWN TO HELEN TO WIDEN THAT TO THREE LANES, AND THEN INCLUDED IN THE BOND IS THE DESIGN TO THE REST OF THE CITY LIMITS.

NEW BICYCLE ROUTES ARE REQUESTED.

AGAIN, NO SURPRISE THERE.

NEW SIDEWALKS, OF COURSE.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE ADDITIONAL COMMENTS, JUST ADDITIONAL PARKING FOR TRAIL ACCESS.

THERE WERE SOME FLOODING CONCERNS, PARK PRESERVATION AND LIGHTING.

SO I'LL GET A LITTLE BIT INTO THE MTP.

SO AS I SAID, WE EVALUATED THE EXISTING 2015.

THE ANNEXATION LAWS MADE US TAKE WE KIND OF TOOK A STEP BACK TO SEE HOW WE WERE GOING TO LOOK AT IT THIS TIME.

WE HAD A LOT OF ROADS ON THE 2015.

A LOT OF THEM WERE OUT ON THE ETJ.

AND SO WHAT WE DID WITH THIS ONE IS WE TOOK ALL OF THE ROADS IN THE ETJ OUT AND LET THE MAP FAIL, LET THE ROADS FAIL.

AND THEN WE STARTED ADDING KEY ROADS BACK IN UNTIL OUR NETWORK AND OUR MOBILITY WAS AT AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL.

SO OUR NEW PLAN IS THE BEAR, WHAT WE NEED TO MAKE THE MOBILITY WORK AT ULTIMATE BUILDOUT.

AND SO WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF ROADWAYS OUT ON THE ETJ THAT THE CITY IS PROBABLY NEVER GOING TO BUILD.

WE ALSO EVALUATED THE CURRENT CLASSIFICATIONS VERSUS THE PROJECTED VOLUMES.

WHAT I FOUND WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT IT IS THE VOLUMES IN THE MODEL.

THERE WAS A DISCONNECT WITH THE CLASSIFICATIONS.

SO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS LOOK AT IT AND GET YOUR CLASSIFICATION.

THAT MAKES SENSE BECAUSE WHAT YOU DON'T WANT TO DO IS OVERBUILD THE ROADWAY AND THEN WE HAVE A LOT MORE MAINTENANCE ISSUES IN THE FUTURE.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE TOOK A LOOK AT AND WE CHANGED OUR APPROACH.

SO I'M JUST GOING TO HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OF THE CHANGES IN THERE.

ONE OF THOSE IS WICKER HILL, IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR.

174 WE TOOK THIS ROADWAY, THIS SECTION OFF.

THIS DOES GO OVER THE RAILROAD.

WE HAVE AN AT GRADE CROSSING FOR LAKEWOOD.

AND THEN WE'RE EITHER GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER AT GRADE OR MAYBE A FLYOVER AT CULLEN.

BUT WITH THE RAILROADS, IF YOU HAVE AN AT GRADE CROSSING, YOU HAVE TO CLOSE TO A JUST DEPENDS ON THE RAILROAD, BUT YOU MIGHT HAVE TO CLOSE ONE IN ORDER TO GET ANOTHER ONE.

AND WHEN WE TOOK THAT ROAD OFF OF THE MTP, THE NET, OUR MOBILITY AND OUR CIRCULATION THROUGH THE AREA WAS AT AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL IN THE AREA OF CHISHOLM SUMMIT.

WHAT WE LOOKED AT BECAUSE WE HAVE LAKEWOOD THAT IS GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTED AS A FOUR LANE DIVIDED FUTURE, AYLESBURY, A FOUR LANE DIVIDED, AND THEN COUNTY ROAD 1016 OF FOUR LANE DIVIDED. WE HAD TO HAVE THIS OTHER ROADWAY THROUGH THE CHISHOLM SUMMIT AREA AND IN ORDER TO AVOID CONSTRUCTING LAKEWOOD AND ALSBURY IS A SIX LANE DIVIDED.

SO WE JUST LOOKED AT DIFFERENT OPTIONS TO TRY AND KEEP THAT LOOK AND THAT FEEL AND THE CIRCULATION THROUGH THE AREA.

ANOTHER ONE THAT I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THIS IS EXCUSE ME, WICKER HILL HERE.

THE ORIGINAL OR THE 2015 HAD THE ROADWAY COMING DOWN TO COUNTY ROAD 802 THAT WOULD TAKE IT ACROSS A PRETTY WIDE FLOODPLAIN.

[00:25:03]

YOU'D HAVE A FLOOD STUDY INVOLVED.

SO WE ASKED THE CONSULTANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT SWINGING IT OVER TO 731 AND WOULD THAT WORK? AND IT DOES. AND THEN YOU'RE CONNECTING TO MAJOR ARTERIALS INSTEAD OF A COLLECTOR IN AN ARTERIAL.

AND THEN ANOTHER ONE WE'VE GOT HULEN THAT WILL BE COUNTY ROAD 714 WILL BE FUTURE HULEN.

THAT WILL CONNECT 731 OVER TO I35 AND BEYOND.

AND WE DID ORIGINALLY HAVE THIS ROAD AGAIN GOING OVER A PRETTY WIDE EXPANSIVE FLOODPLAIN.

SO WE LOOKED AT CAN WE SWING IT UP? ARE THE VOLUMES ACCEPTABLE AS THE LEVEL OF SERVICE GOING TO BE ACCEPTABLE? AND THIS DOES WORK.

AND SO WE'LL AVOID A ANOTHER PRETTY COSTLY BRIDGE THERE.

ONE THING THAT WE ADDED THAT WAS NOT IN THE 2015 IS INTERSECTION ANALYSIS.

CURRENTLY WITH THE IMPACT FEE STUDY, THERE ARE NO INTERSECTIONS INCLUDED, SO WE CANNOT USE OUR ROADWAY IMPACT FEES FOR ANY INTERSECTION SIGNAL IMPROVEMENTS. AND SO THAT'S ALL THROUGH BONDS THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.

SO ADDING IN THESE KEY INTERSECTIONS WHERE WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THEM, THOSE WILL BE INCLUDED IN OUR IMPACT FEE STUDY.

AND SO WE WILL BE ABLE TO USE IMPACT FEES FOR FUTURE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS.

WE ALSO INCLUDED JUST SOME GUIDELINES FOR LANDSCAPING.

WE DO NOT HAVE ANY RIGHT NOW.

SO IF I HAVE A DEVELOPER THAT COMES IN AND THEY BUILD A ROADWAY, I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY GUIDANCE FOR THEM ON LANDSCAPING OR WHAT IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE.

OF COURSE, WE WOULD BRING FORWARD TO COUNCIL ANYTHING THAT WOULD BE PROPOSED FOR REVIEW AND COMMENTS, BUT THIS AT LEAST GIVES US SOME GUIDELINES THAT WE CAN PUT SOME INFORMATION IN OUR DESIGN MANUAL.

AND SO, AGAIN, THE SIDEWALK, YOU CAN SEE ON THE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, EVERYTHING IN BLACK IS MISSING SIDEWALKS.

AND SO TODAY, WE HAVE OVER 200 MILES OF OF SIDEWALKS.

YOUR OLDER SUBDIVISIONS, COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS, YOU DON'T SEE SIDEWALKS THERE.

THE EARLY ORDINANCES ONLY HAD SIDEWALKS REQUIRED IF A SUBDIVISION WAS WITHIN SO MANY FEET OR MILES OF A SCHOOL, ONLY IF THE ROADWAY WAS OVER 30 FEET WIDE WOULD YOU CONSTRUCT A SIDEWALK, AND IT WOULD ONLY BE ON ONE SIDE.

SO NOT UNTIL 1999 DID THE REQUIREMENT FOR SIDEWALKS TO BE CONSTRUCTED WITH SUBDIVISIONS AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS.

DID IT COME IN PLAY? AND SO IT IS IN THERE TODAY, AND IT'S GOING TO STAY IN THERE.

AND, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, ANY NEW DEVELOPMENT WILL REQUIRE WILL HAVE SIDEWALKS.

OH ME, WOULD YOU MIND SOME WATER? I'M SORRY. SO SORRY.

AND THEN FOR THE UPDATE, WE INCLUDED LIKE I SAID, WE DON'T HAVE A PROGRAM, AN ACTUAL PROGRAM FOR SIDEWALKS.

SO WE DID LOOK AT A SIDEWALK ANALYSIS TO DEVELOP A PROGRAM AND CRITERIA.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. SO ONE THING THAT WE STRUGGLED WITH A LITTLE BIT IS HOW DO YOU PRIORITIZE AND WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THEM? BECAUSE CONSTRUCTION OF SIDEWALKS WITHIN EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS, THEY CAN BE COSTLY.

YOU HAVE DRIVEWAY RECONSTRUCTION, UTILITY COMPLEX.

YOU MAY NEED ADDITIONAL RIGHT AWAY TO MAKE IT WORK.

AND THEN WHAT NEIGHBORHOOD IS MORE IMPORTANT OVER ANOTHER ONE? AND SO WE JUST KIND OF STEPPED BACK AND WE TOOK A LOOK AT IT TO SEE WHAT WE COULD DO.

SO WE LOOKED AT IT.

HOW CAN WE LOOKED AT IT AS FAR AS IF WE CAN CREATE A SPINE THAT CAN GET AS MANY PEOPLE FUNNEL TO A CERTAIN PLACE AND AS MANY THINGS SCHOOLS, CHURCHES, COMMUNITY CENTERS, SHOPPING CENTERS, IF WE CAN GET THOSE CONNECTED, THEN OVER TIME WITH PHASING, WE CAN CONTINUE TO FILL IN THOSE SIDEWALKS.

I'M SORRY.

MY ALLERGIES ARE WAY WORSE THAN I THOUGHT.

SO WHAT WE WERE THINKING IS THE INITIAL PHASE WOULD BE I WOULD ACT AS THAT SPINE.

AND SO THAT WOULD BE EASIER TO TAKE A LOOK AT AN AREA AND LOOK AROUND THE BRICK.

AND I'LL GET INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE WITH THE NEXT COUPLE OF SLIDES.

BUT OF COURSE, OUR NEIGHBORHOODS WITHOUT SIDEWALKS WOULD BE TOP PRIORITY.

THEN WE WOULD LOOK AT WHAT THE SCHOOLS, THE DISTANCE OF THE SCHOOLS AROUND IT, OF COURSE, WORK WITH BISD BECAUSE THEY DO KNOW HOW MANY WALKERS THEY HAVE.

THEY HAVE THAT INFORMATION FOR BOTH MORNING AND AFTERNOON AND THOSE COULD BE DIFFERENT.

[00:30:04]

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY OF COURSE, WOULD COME INTO PLAY BECAUSE IF YOU DO HAVE A HIGH PEDESTRIAN USE AREA, YOU WANT TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION ALSO.

SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO OUT AND SEE WHERE PEOPLE MAY BE WALKING.

IT COULD BE A SATURDAY, SUNDAY.

WE JUST HAVE TO WE'LL JUST HAVE TO DO A LITTLE BIT OF INVESTIGATION.

I'LL JUST GIVE A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES OF WHAT WE LOOKED AT.

YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH OAK VALLEY.

YOU'VE GOT PARK RIDGE.

SO IF YOU BUILT A SIDEWALK ALONG PARK RIDGE, YOU COULD FUNNEL PEOPLE DOWN TO THE PARK, THE EXISTING TRAIL.

AND THEN OVER TIME, THAT'S FUNDING ALLOWS YOU CAN GO IN AND FILL IN THOSE GAPS.

SAME THING FOR THE NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND THE BRICK.

CAN YOU GO AHEAD AND FIND A ROADWAY THAT YOU CAN FUNNEL AS MUCH, GO AND COLLECT THEM AND FUNNEL AS MUCH OVER TO THE BRICK AND TO THE SCHOOLS. AND THEN AGAIN, OVER TIME, AS FUNDING ALLOWS, YOU CONTINUE TO EXPAND THAT PROGRAM.

HERE'S A COUPLE MORE OLD TOWN AREA.

YOU CAN GET SOME OF THESE NEIGHBORHOODS OVER TO OLD TOWN MORE SAFELY.

AND I'LL TAKE IRENE, THE IRENE SAME ROUTES TO SCHOOL SIDEWALK THAT ONE TAKES YOU ADJACENT TO A SCHOOL AND THEN OVER TO WHARTON PARK.

SO THAT ACTS AS A SPINE TODAY.

AND THEN AGAIN, YOU CAN FILL IN THESE GAPS AS IT GOES.

WE ARE ADDING POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE CAN INCLUDE IN THE DESIGN MANUAL UPDATE, AND SO EVALUATE ALL EXISTING NETWORK FOR COMPLIANCE.

YOU REVIEW AND UPDATE THE CURRENT ORDINANCES AND DETAILS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE.

THE UPDATE TO THE DESIGN MANUAL WAS APPROVED JULY 18TH, AND SO WE'RE GOING TO KICK THAT OFF IN SEPTEMBER, AND SO WE'RE GOING TO ADD SOME REQUIREMENTS IN THERE AND THEN REQUIRE PROPER SIGNAGE AND MARKINGS TO CLEARLY DELINEATE THE PEDESTRIAN PATHS.

WE LOOKED AT NEIGHBORHOOD CONNECTIVITY FOR POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS.

FUNDING, OF COURSE, SHOULD BE ALLOCATED EACH YEAR TO CONTINUE TO FILL IN OUR GAPS.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS REQUIRED TO CONSTRUCT SIDEWALKS AND TRAILS AS SHOWN ON THE UPDATED 2022 PLAN, AND THEN CONTINUE TO IDENTIFY COMPLETE SIDEWALK NETWORKS AND CONNECT ALL OF THE DESTINATIONS.

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY.

ONE OF THE POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS IS ALL FUTURE PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS MARKED WITH VISIBLE CROSSWALKS.

I THINK WE'VE DONE A PRETTY GOOD JOB IN OLD TOWN AND SOME OF THE NEWER DEVELOPMENTS, BUT WE DO NEED TO LOOK FOR THOSE AREAS WHERE WE CAN MAKE THOSE MORE VISIBLE AND THAT'S WHERE YOU WANT PEOPLE TO CROSS.

ALSO, HIGH VOLUME PEDESTRIAN AREAS SHOULD INCLUDE RAPID FLASHING BEACONS OR ADDITIONAL SIGNAGE TO ALERT VEHICULAR TRAFFIC WHEN YOU'RE CONSIDERING REDEVELOPMENT, ESPECIALLY IN OLD TOWN BY THE CITY OR PROPERTY OWNERS.

YOU SHOULD RETROFIT ALL THE NON WELL SHOULD BE CONFORMING OR NON ADA COMPLIANT CITY MAINTAINED SIDEWALKS AND THEN CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO ADD STREETSCAPE PATTERNS AND JUST INCORPORATE THOSE THROUGH AS REDEVELOPMENT OCCURS.

COORDINATION WITH THE BICYCLE AND TRAILS PLAN IS GOING TO BE ALSO IMPORTANT.

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE TWO PLANS ARE TALKING TO EACH OTHER.

AND OF COURSE, THAT BRINGS US INTO THE BICYCLE AND TRAIL PLAN.

AND WE HAVE OVER 11 MILES OF EXISTING ON STREET DEDICATED BIKE LINES, BICYCLE LANES.

WE HAVE OVER 17 MILES OF EXISTING SHARED USE PATHS.

THESE DO INCLUDE BOTH ON STREET AND OFF STREET NETWORKS.

SO WITH THE MOBILITY PLAN, WE LOOKED AT SIMPLIFYING THE NOMENCLATURE BECAUSE WE HAD ABOUT EIGHT DIFFERENT WAYS TO NAME A TRAIL OR TO NAME A PATH.

AND SO WHAT WE FOCUSED ON WAS ON STREET AND OFF STREET OR SHARED USE PATHS FOR OFF STREET.

WE ALSO WANTED TO INCLUDE THE TEN MILE LOOP WITHIN THE MOBILITY PLAN.

WE DO HAVE A PLAN, BUT IT'S NOT CODIFIED ANYWHERE.

IT'S NOT INCLUDED IN ANY PLAN THAT WE HAVE.

SO WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND ADD IT AND THEN IDENTIFY POTENTIAL CONNECTIONS TO THE TEN MILE LOOP, WHICH EVENTUALLY OVER TIME WILL EXPAND THAT DISTANCE.

WE ALSO WANTED TO INCLUDE THE AREAS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS BECAUSE IF WE DON'T HAVE A PLAN FOR TRAILS OUT THERE AND WE START ANNEXING IN AND THAT STARTS TO DEVELOP, WE

[00:35:05]

AND OF COURSE, PROVIDE POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE BIKE AND TRAIL PLAN AS WELL.

SO THE PROPOSED NETWORK THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW, WE'RE ADDING ADDITIONAL ONE A LITTLE OVER A MILE OF ON STREET PATHS.

SO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS FOCUS ON SEPARATING VEHICLES AND BICYCLES.

IF YOU HAVE LOW VOLUME, LOW SPEED, HAVING A SHARED PATH ON A ROADWAY IS NOT BAD.

BUT WHEN YOU START GETTING HIGH VOLUME, HIGH SPEEDS, YOU REALLY WANT THAT SEPARATION.

SO EITHER A DEDICATED BIKE LANE ON THE STREET OR A SHARED USE PATH IN THE PARKWAY.

WE ARE PROPOSING OVER 120 ADDITIONAL MILES OF THE SHARED USE.

A LOT OF THAT WILL BE ALONG OUR ARTERIALS AND COLLECTORS WITHIN THE PARKWAY.

THE SECTIONS THAT WE HAVE WILL ALLOW FOR THAT.

ALSO, YOU WILL CONTINUE TO USE THE FLOODPLAIN AND THE EXISTING UTILITY EASEMENT.

SO WE HAVE IDENTIFIED SOME OF THOSE AND THEN ALSO CONNECTIONS TO EXISTING TRAILS WITHIN BAILEY LAKE AND VILLAGE CREEK THAT ARE CURRENTLY UNDER DESIGN AND TO SO FAR WE'VE GOT FOUR CONNECTIONS TO THE EXISTING TEN MILE LOOP IDENTIFIED.

WE HAVE SAT DOWN WITH THE PARKS DEPARTMENT.

WE HAVE GONE OVER THIS MAP WITH THEM AS WELL AS WHAT THEIR GOALS ARE.

AND SO CONTINUE COORDINATION WITH THE PARKS DEPARTMENT IS GOING TO BE CRITICAL.

MICHELLE. YES.

WHEN YOU SAY SHARED BIKE TRAILS WITH THE ROAD.

I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANOTHER ONE LIKE WE GOT ON IRENE WHERE WE GOT THE CURB OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO SHARE NO MORE LIKE THAT.

THAT'S NOT THE PLAN.

NO, THE PLAN IS MORE LIKE VILLAGE CREEK PARKWAY, WHERE YOU HAVE THE TEN FOOT SHARED PATH AND OFF ON THE SIDE.

SO IT'S LIKE A SIDEWALK, BUT IT'S JUST YOUR BIGGER TRAIL.

SO. NOT.

NO, NOT LIKE IRENE.

SO SOME OF THE POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE HAVE IS NEIGHBORHOOD WAYFINDING.

WE TALKED ABOUT PUTTING SIGNS OUT THERE TO DIRECT USERS TO YOUR SHARED PATHS, YOUR TRAILS.

THERE ARE SOME SIGNS, BUT I THINK WE CAN GO AHEAD AND EVALUATE IT AND MAKE THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE ROBUST.

OF COURSE, WE'LL HAVE TO COORDINATE WITH OUR CITY'S TRAFFIC ENGINEER TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE COMPLIANT FOR A LARGER PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

CONSIDER WAYFINDING AT THE PLANNING STAGE AND CHISHOLM SUMMIT COMES TO MY MIND RIGHT NOW LOOKING AT THAT AND HOW CAN WE GO INCORPORATE SOME OF THAT IN THERE? WE'RE IN THE VERY BEGINNING STAGES OF THAT AS FAR AS SOME MIDDLE.

SO I THINK THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO WORK WITH THEM ON AND THEN AGAIN, UPDATE THE DESIGN STANDARDS TO ADD MINIMUM DESIGN STANDARDS FOR OUR SHARED PATHS, OUR TRAILS.

AND AGAIN, WE'RE GOING TO KICK THAT OFF IN SEPTEMBER AND THEN OPTIONS TO SEPARATE VEHICLES FROM BICYCLISTS.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE OFF THE STREET, BUT AS LONG AS THEY'RE SEPARATED, IT'S SAFER.

BECAUSE, LIKE I SAID, YOU DON'T WANT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A FAMILY WITH SMALL KIDS GOING DOWN LAKEWOOD.

RIGHT. BY THE VEHICLES. YOU WANT THEM SEPARATED.

SO OUR LARGER PARKWAYS WILL ALLOW THE TEN FOOT SIDE PATHS AND STILL KEEP THEM SEPARATED FROM THE EDGE OF CURB.

MINIMUM OF 7 TO 8 TO TEN FEET.

SO OUR NEXT STEPS IMPACT FEE STUDY UPDATE.

AS I MENTIONED, IT'S REQUIRED TO BE UPDATED EVERY FIVE YEARS.

IT IS A CHARGE OR ASSESSMENT ON NEW DEVELOPMENT TO GENERATE REVENUE TO OFFSET THE CAPITAL COST.

IT'S THE SAYING THAT NEW DEVELOPMENTS SHOULD PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE.

THE IMPACT FEE COMMITTEE MEETING, WE'VE GOT TO GO AHEAD AND SET THAT UP.

HOWEVER, WE'VE HAVE TO REESTABLISH THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM ADVISORY COMMITTEE OR CPAC.

WE WILL BE BRINGING THE SEPARATE REPORT TO YOU NEXT COUNCIL MEETING TO GET DIRECTION ON WHAT YOU WANT, WHAT THAT COMMITTEE SHOULD LOOK LIKE.

THEN WE'RE GOING TO FINALIZE RECOMMENDATIONS.

AND THEN THE PLAN IS TO ADOPT THE MASTER PLAN AND THE IMPACT FEE STRUCTURE BY THE END OF THE YEAR.

AND SO I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

I HAVE JEFF WITH KIMLEY-HORN HERE, WHO HIS TEAM HAS BEEN THE INTEGRAL PART OF DEVELOPING THIS.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I HAVE ONE AND IT MAY BE TO THE WRONG PERSON.

I APOLOGIZE FOR IT IS COULD GO TO ANY ONE OF THE THREE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.

BUT AS WE ADD ALL THESE DIFFERENT BIKE TRAILS AND THINGS OF THIS NATURE, I'LL WORRY ABOUT MEDICAL EMERGENCIES, THAT KIND OF THING THAT MAY BE ON THE TRAIL.

ARE THESE GOING TO BE MARKED IN SUCH A WAY THAT THAT WILL HAVE AND I'M SEEING SOME NODDING OF HEADS, SO THAT'S GOOD.

[00:40:05]

HELLO. HI.

HI. ON THE CPAC COMMITTEE, DID WE HAVE ONE PRIOR? YES, WE DID. AND HOW WHAT HAPPENED TO IT? SO BASICALLY, IT TURNED OUT WHEN I DID THE RESEARCH, WHO THE MEMBERS WERE WHEN THEY WERE APPOINTED.

SO THEY HAVE BASICALLY TERMED OUT.

AND SO WE'VE JUST GOT TO REESTABLISH IT.

AND WHO DOES THAT USUALLY CONSIST OF? DEVELOPERS, BUILDERS, DEVELOPERS.

BUILDERS. THERE'S FIVE MEMBERS.

AND WHAT'S THE PROCESS? IS THAT SOMETHING THAT GOES THROUGH THE CITY SECRETARY'S OFFICE? NO, IT HAS NOT.

HISTORICALLY, IT'S GONE THROUGH THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT.

AND YOU'LL TELL US MORE ABOUT THAT COMING UP.

WONDERFUL. THANK YOU.

ANYBODY ELSE? THANK YOU, MA'AM. THANK YOU.

SORRY FOR MY ALLERGIES.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THAT BRINGS US TO ITEM 2C RECEIVE A REPORT, HOLD A DISCUSSION AND GIVE STAFF DIRECTION REGARDING THE REGARDING THE BURLESON WORKS PROGRAM.

[2.C. Receive a report, hold a discussion and give staff direction regarding the Burleson Works program. (Staff Presenter: Matt Ribitzki, Deputy City Attorney)]

HOMEWARES AGAIN.

ALL RIGHT. HELLO.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

DREW PENNYWELL, THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECT MANAGER, FIRST OF ALL, I APOLOGIZE FOR MATT NOT BEING ABLE TO BE AVAILABLE.

HE WAS ORIGINALLY GOING TO GIVE THIS PRESENTATION.

SO YOU'LL ALL BEAR WITH ME FOR JUST A MOMENT AS WE GO THROUGH THIS.

BUT I WANTED TO BRING YOU SOME UPDATES AND PROPOSE SOME CHANGES TO OUR BURLESON WORKS PROGRAM, OUR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM THAT YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH.

ITS MISSION IS TO PROVIDE AN AVENUE FOR COMPANIES AND CITIZENS IN OUR REGION TO CONNECT WITH ONE ANOTHER, TO FILL THE SKILLS GAP IN OUR LABOR MARKET THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL AND REGIONAL SCHOOLS, TO OBTAIN SKILLS AND CERTIFICATIONS AND GAIN EMPLOYMENT IN THE COMMUNITY, SPECIFICALLY WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS.

ITS GOAL IS TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS AND CITIZENS IN THE REGION TO GAIN TECHNICAL SKILLS THAT WILL BE BENEFICIAL TO OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS.

SO AS THE PROGRAM STANDS TODAY AND HAS SINCE ITS INCEPTION EACH YEAR, OUR TEAM SURVEYS THE INDUSTRIAL PARTNERS TO DETERMINE WHAT JOBS ARE NEEDED WITHIN THE NEXT SIX, NINE, MAYBE 12 MONTHS.

AND THEN WE TAKE THOSE JOB POSITIONS AND WE OFFER SCHOLARSHIPS.

THE PARTNERS HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO INTERVIEW EACH OF THE APPLICANTS.

BUT PRIOR TO AWARDING SCHOLARSHIPS, THE APPLICANTS ARE AWARDED THE SCHOLARSHIPS.

THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO BE EMPLOYED AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THOSE COURSES.

THE EMPLOYER THAT HAS THE JOB OPPORTUNITY IN NEED SPECIFIES EXACTLY WHICH COURSE WILL NEED TO BE COMPLETED AND WHERE THAT WILL TAKE PLACE.

AND THEN THE EDC FUNDS A PORTION OF THAT CERTIFICATE TO GAIN EMPLOYMENT AT THE COMPANY.

SO EACH YEAR THE SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES ARE OPEN FROM JANUARY TO FEBRUARY.

THERE'S AN ORIENTATION CLASS IN MARCH THAT'S REQUIRED FOR EACH APPLICANT TO CHECK THE BOX, MAKE SURE THEY'RE NOT JUST TIRE KICKERS, THEY'RE WILLING TO GO TO AN ORIENTATION AND REALLY LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PROGRAM AND BE COMMITTED.

AND THEN IN THROUGH MARCH AND APRIL, EACH OF THE COMPANIES INTERVIEW THOSE APPLICANTS.

AND THEN IN MAY, THE APPLICANTS TELL THE EDC, WHICH APPLICANT SPECIFICALLY THEY'D LIKE TO AWARD THE SCHOLARSHIP FOR.

AND THOSE ARE AWARDED AND WE HAVE OUR OUR BIG SIGNING DAY AND MAKE A BIG CELEBRATION OUT OF AWARDING THOSE SCHOLARSHIPS TO THE FOLKS.

THE PROCESS TODAY IS TIME CONSUMING, AS YOU CAN TELL.

AND IT'S JUST ONE YEAR CYCLE WHEN WE ALL KNOW ALL THE COMPANIES IN TOWN ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF JOBS TODAY.

SO A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THE PROGRAM AT A GLANCE.

IT WAS LAUNCHED IN THE 2017 2018 CYCLE.

THE EDC HAS CONTRIBUTED 60,000 TO BOFF IN 2018 19.

THERE WAS NO CONTRIBUTION IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.

THERE'S BEEN A HEALTHY BALANCE IN THAT FUND TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE PROVIDE THOSE SCHOLARSHIPS.

TO DATE, BURLESON WORKS HAS AWARDED TEN SCHOLARSHIPS IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS, WITH FOUR OF THOSE EMPLOYEES STILL WORKING AT THOSE LOCAL COMPANIES.

THE LAST TWO YEARS OF THE PROGRAM HAVE BEEN PRETTY IMPACTED BY THE PANDEMIC, SO THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ANY AWARDS AS OF YET, BUT WE'RE JUST NOW SEEING KIND OF THIS, YOU KNOW, THIS DESPERATE NEED COMING OUT OF THE PANDEMIC FOR NEW SKILLED WORKERS IN THE WITH OUR INDUSTRY PARTNERS.

SO THE CURRENT BALANCE IS $104,172, AND WE HAVE EXPENDED $14,328 OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS.

[00:45:11]

THERE'S GOING TO BE KIND OF TWO TRACKS WITH THE NEW BURLESON WORKS PROPOSED CHANGES NEW EMPLOYEES IS KIND OF SIMILAR TODAY BUT ALSO AN EXISTING EMPLOYEE OPPORTUNITY.

SO FOR NEW EMPLOYEES, WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH ALL OF OUR PARTNERS AND PROMOTE THE PROGRAM AND CURRENT OFFERINGS WITH ALL OF THE COMPANIES, COMPANIES THAT FIND A CANDIDATE THROUGH THEIR OWN HIRING PROCESS THAT IT MAY BE IN NEED OF TRAINING, CAN UTILIZE THE BURLESON WORKS PROGRAM FOR ASSISTANCE TO HELP ONBOARD THAT EMPLOYEE.

THE ASSISTANCE IS PAID TO THE SCHOOL ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY AND THE SCHOLARSHIPS ARE CAPPED FOR THOSE NEW EMPLOYEE TRAININGS AT $3,500.

THIS GIVES THE COMPANIES MORE OF AN ON DEMAND OPTION FOR GETTING TRAINERS SOONER THAN WAITING FOR THIS PROCESS.

AS WE ALL KNOW, EVERYBODY'S TRYING TO GET EMPLOYEES JUST ABSOLUTELY AS SOON AS THEY CAN.

THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY EVEN GUARANTEED THESE EMPLOYEES SHOW UP AFTER BEING OFFERED A JOB THROUGH A HIRING PROCESS.

SO WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO HELP THOSE EMPLOYEES, THOSE BUSINESSES AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

AGAIN, FOR ANOTHER NEW KIND OF TRACK WOULD BE FOR EXISTING EMPLOYEES THAT WANT TO UPSKILL.

COMPANIES WOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO UPSKILL AN EMPLOYEE AND REQUEST TO BE REIMBURSED 1500 DOLLARS PRIOR TO THE TRAINING BEGINNING FOR A NEW EMPLOYEE.

THE ASSISTANCE IS PAID TO THE COMPANY AFTER RECEIVING AFTER OUR DEPARTMENT RECEIVES.

DOCUMENTATION OF THE CERTIFICATE BEING COMPLETED IN THE TRAINING AND CONFIRMATION CONFIRMED THAT THE COMPANY IS THE EMPLOYEE IS GAINING ADDITIONAL WAGES AS WELL.

THE ASSISTANCE WOULD BE BASED ON FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS EACH YEAR AND THE EDC WOULD UTILIZE HALF OF THE CURRENT BURLESON WORKS BUDGET TO ASSIST WITH PRO FUNDING OF THAT PART OF THE PROGRAM, $30,000.

THE EDC BELIEVES THAT THESE CHANGES WILL MAKE THE PROGRAM EASIER TO UTILIZE AND GIVE COMPANIES THE ABILITY TO GAIN NEW EMPLOYEES QUICKER, AS WELL AS GIVE THEM THE ABILITY TO STRENGTHEN THEIR CURRENT WORKFORCE.

TRUE. CAN I ASK A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ON THAT? IS THIS? WHAT TYPE OF WORK IS THIS TRAINING FOR? IS IT JUST SKILLED LABOR OR IS IT IN OFFICE TRAINING? WE IN FACT, WE'VE TALKED TO WE HAVE QUARTERLY MEETINGS WITH OUR MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIAL ALLIANCE.

AND THERE HAVE BEEN REQUESTS FOR, OF COURSE, SKILLED TRAINING.

MAYBE IT'S ROBOTIC WELDING OR CARPENTRY OR ELECTRICAL KIND OF MORE OF YOUR TECHNICAL SKILLS.

BUT THERE IS ALSO BEEN REQUESTS FOR MORE CLERICAL TRAINING.

IT'S LIKE, WELL, I NEED AN EMPLOYEE THAT TO BETTER UNDERSTAND QUICKBOOKS OR MICROSOFT ACCESS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

SO I THINK WE WOULD BE COMFORTABLE.

YOU KNOW, I WOULD LOVE TO RECEIVE ALL OF Y'ALL'S INPUT ON HOW TO ADVANCE THE PROGRAM FROM HERE.

BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT TO, AS WE WERE LOOKING AT IT, OFFER COMPANIES UP TO THESE AMOUNTS TO COVER TRAINING, ANY TRAINING THAT'S NEEDED THAT'S COMING FROM ACCREDITED HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION IN THE AREA.

SO WHETHER IT MAY BE SOMEONE IN HR NEEDS TRAINING TO DO THIS.

WELL, ALSO, I HAVE A WELDER THAT NEEDS THE NEXT LEVEL CERTIFICATION.

ANYTHING THAT WOULD HELP ADVANCE THOSE COMPANIES WOULD WOULD BE BENEFICIAL.

SO I DON'T THINK THERE'S A LINE IN THE SAND TO SAY, WELL, THAT'S NOT DEEMED TECHNICAL, BUT DO THE COMPANIES THEN DO THEY MATCH THAT 3500? IF THE TRAINING THAT THEY WOULD THAT THEY ARE REQUESTING IS ABOVE THAT, THEN YES, THE COMPANY WOULD HAVE TO FIND THAT DIFFERENCE.

BUT WE'RE PROPOSING THAT FOR THOSE NEW EMPLOYEES TO THEIR COMPANY, BE UP TO $3,500, WHICH IS KIND OF WHAT WE'VE SEEN THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF BURLESON WORKS TODAY. AND IN A LOT OF CASES WE'VE SEEN THAT GETS YOU UP TO A TWO YEAR CERTIFICATION AT A LOT OF THE INSTITUTIONS, AND THAT'S WHERE THAT LINE WAS DRAWN.

AND THEN AGAIN, 4500 FOR EXISTING EMPLOYEES.

BUT WE WOULD EXPECT THE EMPLOYER TO MAKE UP A DIFFERENCE IF IT WERE MORE THAN THAT.

SO AS FAR AS THE COMPANIES THAT CAN APPLY, I REALLY LIKE OPENING IT UP TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AND CLERICAL AND THE OTHER SIDE TO THIS FOR THE EXISTING EMPLOYEES.

IS THERE ANY LIMITATIONS ON THE COMPANIES THAT COULD APPLY FOR THIS? AS FAR AS THE FORAY STATUTE IS CONCERNED, IT WOULD JUST NEED TO BE A BUSINESS, WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS, AND THAT'S HOW WE'VE DRIVEN BURLESON WORKS THUS FAR AND HOW WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO UTILIZE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR A FUNDS FOR THIS BECAUSE THE BUSINESSES WITHIN THE CITY WILL BE GAINING PRIMARY JOBS.

NICE. OKAY. THAT'S NICE.

SO THEY COULD GO TO ANY ONE OF THE JUNIOR COLLEGES AND TAKE SOME OF THEIR CE COURSES TO GET BETTER AT THE FINANCIAL SIDE OF IT OR WHATEVER THAT MIGHT BE.

YEAH, WE'VE HAD A WIDE VARIETY OF BUSINESS TYPES BEING A PART OF BURLESON WORKS IN THE PAST.

[00:50:03]

THEY GOT IN AND DID IT. SO THERE'S NO, AGAIN, NO LINE IN THE SAND WHAT TYPE OF BUSINESS OR TYPE OF CERTIFICATIONS.

OKAY. THANK YOU. SO I MENTIONED OUR MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIAL ALLIANCE.

WE HAVE RECEIVED WE HAVE PRESENTED THESE CHANGES, PROPOSED CHANGES TO THEM AND RECEIVE THEIR FEEDBACK.

THEY MET IN JUNE.

THE PARTNERS ARE THERE COLLECTION OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE AREA TRADE, SCHOOLS, INDUSTRIAL AND MANUFACTURING BUSINESSES THROUGHOUT BURLESON.

THEY WERE ALL IN SUPPORT OF THESE CHANGES AND ARE EAGER TO UTILIZE THIS PROGRAM.

MORE ON THE FLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

WE'VE ALSO PRESENTED THESE CHANGES TO THE BURLESON OPPORTUNITY FUND BOARD AND THEY VOTED IN FAVOR UNANIMOUSLY TO MAKE THESE CHANGES, TO SUPPORT THESE CHANGES TO THE BURLESON WORKS PROGRAM AND AS WELL AS WILL BE RETURNING THE $104,172 THAT'S CURRENTLY IN THEIR BALANCE FOR THE BURLESON WORKS PROGRAM BACK TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION.

AND THEN FROM HERE ON OUT, IF WE FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THESE CHANGES, THE EDC WOULD MANAGE AND DISPERSE THESE FUNDS AS WELL AS WORK WITH BOTH ON MARKETING, BOTH TRACKS.

BURLESON OPPORTUNITY FUND AND BURLESON WORKS AS TWO SEPARATE AVENUES FOR HIGHER EDUCATION, BUT WE WOULD MANAGE THE FUNDS SEPARATELY AND MANAGE THE PROGRAM SEPARATELY AS WELL.

SO THAT MEANS THAT ALL THE DONATIONS THAT COME IN, YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO BE MANAGING THEM? THAT IS CORRECT. SO I AM SEEKING YOUR DIRECTION THIS AFTERNOON TO APPROVE, MODIFY OR KEEP BURLESON WORKS JUST THE SAME, BUT I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OF YOUR OTHER QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE ABOUT THE PROGRAM, AND THEN WE WILL.

AT THE NEXT MEETING, WE WILL HAVE A RESOLUTION FOR YOU TO CONSIDER TO FORMALIZE THOSE CHANGES.

ANY QUESTIONS? NO, I THINK THE CHANGES SOUND GREAT.

AND I TOO WANT TO ECHO THOSE SENTIMENTS ABOUT THE CLERICAL THAT JUST THIS LAST WEEK I RAN INTO SOMEONE IN TOWN WHO HAS A BOOKKEEPING BUSINESS AND HE SAID HE HAS DIFFICULTY FILLING THAT HIS PAYROLL POSITION.

HE SAID HE PROMOTED SOMEBODY WHO WAS IN PAYROLL, BUT GETTING SOMEBODY TO UNDERSTAND THAT SOFTWARE AND KEEPING THAT POSITION FILLED HAS BEEN KIND OF TOUGH FOR HIM.

SO THIS REALLY PIQUES MY INTEREST AND I'D LOVE TO SEE US MARKET THIS MORE AND ENCOURAGE BUSINESSES IN TOWN TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT.

AND LET'S SUPPORT OUR THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE AND WANT TO WORK HERE AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO ADVANCE THEMSELVES IN THEIR CAREER PATHS AS WELL.

THANK YOU. ONE OF THE THINGS I REALLY LIKE ABOUT IT, YOU KNOW, WE HELP OUR HIGH SCHOOL KIDS AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO ALWAYS DO THAT.

BUT A LOT OF THIS IS ALSO AVAILABLE TO OLDER PEOPLE THAT'S NEEDING SOME TRAINING, SOME HELP AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

AND THEY'VE MADE A SHOWING WITH THEIR BUSINESSES AND THE BUSINESS WANTS TO HELP THEM.

THIS IS JUST A WAY TO TO PUSH THAT FORWARD FOR THEM.

THE BUSINESSES ARE VERY ONE OF THE NEW BUSINESS IS COMING IN.

TALK ABOUT THIS TRAINING.

YOU KNOW, WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR US AND ALEX AND HAS BEEN REALLY, REALLY GOOD ABOUT PRESENTING THIS GREAT JOB.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I THINK WE'RE ALL ON BOARD.

YES. WE'LL BRING THOSE CHANGES BACK FOR YOU IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THAT BRINGS US TO SECTION THREE CITIZENS APPEARANCE.

EACH PERSON IN ATTENDANCE WHO DESIRES TO SPEAK TO THE CITY COUNCIL ON AN ITEM NOT POSTED ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA SHOULD SPEAK DURING THIS SECTION.

I HAVE NO SPEAKER CARDS AT THIS TIME.

IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON A NON AGENDA RELATED ITEM? SEEING NO ONE. WE DO HAVE A NEED FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION IN SECTION FOUR.

[4. RECESS INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION]

I'M RECOMMENDING THAT WE DON'T DO THAT NOW.

WE DO IT AFTER THE REGULAR MEETING, SO WE NEVER MIND.

THERE IS NO EXECUTIVE SESSION, APPARENTLY.

SO AT THIS TIME WE HAVE DISPOSED WITH ALL ITEMS. SO MAYOR, YOU CAN ADJOURN THE MEETING.

IS THERE A MOTION TO ADJOURN? SO. I HAD A MOTION BY JIMMY.

SECOND BY RONNIE.

WE'RE ADJOURNED AT 4:55.
