>> TROOP 11, WOULD YOU PLEASE COME TO THE FRONT?
[00:00:07]
I'VE ASKED MAYOR DAN MCCLENDON TO LEAD US IN OUR PRAYER THIS AFTERNOON.IF EVERYBODY WOULD PLEASE RISE FOR OUR PRAYER AND TROOP 11 IS GOING TO LEAD US IN OUR PLEDGES.
TROOP 11, COME UP HERE PLEASE.
COME OVER HERE. STAND IN FRONT OF THE FLAG. DAN, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE.
>> LET'S PRAY. DEAR LORD, WE ASK YOUR BLESSING ON THIS GATHERING OF YOUR PEOPLE.
AS OUR LEADERS, WE ASK FOR YOUR STRENGTH TO SUPPORT THE COVENANT THAT WE HAVE WITH THOSE WHO'VE CHOSEN US TO ALWAYS ACT ON BEHALF OF OUR CITIZENS SO AS TO PROVIDE THE HIGHEST RESULTS AND THE GREATEST OUTCOMES FOR THE MATTERS THAT ARE BROUGHT BEFORE US.
WE ASK TONIGHT THAT YOU PROVIDE THE ARMOR OF PROTECTION UPON THOSE WHO PATROL OUR STREETS EVER IN DANGER FROM THOSE WHO WISH ILL WILL, WHO STAFF OUR FIRE STATIONS VIGILANT AND EVER READY TO LEAP INTO ACTION AT THE SOUND OF THE ALARM, WHO DRIVE OUR AMBULANCES RUSHING TO AID THOSE IN PERIL.

MAY THEY FIND STRENGTH IN YOU LORD FOR YOU AS MARTIN LUTHER WROTE, ARE INDEED A MIGHTY FORTRESS, A BULWARK, NEVER FAILING.
WE ASK FOR SUPPORT AND REASONING FOR THE LEADERS OF OUR COUNTRY IN THESE TIMES.
MAY THEY HAVE THE WISDOM AND COURAGE TO PUT ASIDE FACTIONAL DIFFERENCES AND FIND REAL SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS THAT BESET US.
WE ASK THESE THINGS IN THE NAME OF YOUR SON JESUS WHO GAVE US OUR FREEDOM AT THE COST OF HIS OWN SACRIFICE IN HIS HOLY NAME. AMEN.
>> MAYOR, DID YOU WANT TO DO A PICTURE?
>> YES, I WANT TO GET A PICTURE TO HONORATE THIS.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS IS TROOP 11.
THESE GENTLEMEN ARE WORKING ON THEIR COMMUNITY SERVICE BADGE TO TAKE THEM TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
I WANT TO INTRODUCE LEON GILBERT, MATTHEW ROBIA, BRENNER RUSSELL, AND BRANDON SEABORN. PROUD OF YOU GUYS.
GOOD LUCK. COUNSEL, WOULD Y'ALL PLEASE COME DOWN IN FRONT? LET'S GET A PICTURE WITH THEM.
>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
[2.C. Community Interest Items (Part 1 of 2)]
THAT BRINGS US TO SECTION 2, PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS.WE HAVE NO PROCLAMATIONS OR PRESENTATIONS FOR THIS EVENING SO THAT BRINGS US TO ITEM 2C, COMMUNITY INTEREST ITEMS.
>> THURSDAY NIGHT OF THIS WEEK,
[00:05:02]
WE WILL HAVE A PUBLIC MEETING HERE IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS TO INTRODUCE THE BEGINNING OF JOHNSON COUNTY'S MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN THAT'S UNDER FORMATION AT THIS TIME.IT'S AN INPUT MEETING. PEOPLE ARE ASKED TO COME AND GIVE YOUR SUGGESTIONS AND YOUR OPINIONS TO TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT WITHIN THE COUNTY.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HASN'T EXISTED BEFORE, BUT THE COUNTY HAS UNDERTAKEN AN EFFORT TO CREATE THIS.
I THINK IT'LL BE MUCH BETTER IF WE ALL PITCH IN AND GIVE OUR WORD.
A COUPLE OF US ARE SERVING ON A BOARD THAT WILL OVERSEE THIS PROCESS AND WE WANT ALL THE INPUT FROM THE CITIZENS THAT WE POSSIBLY CAN.
THAT'S JANUARY 24TH, FIVE O'CLOCK TO EIGHT O'CLOCK PM HERE.
IF YOU CAN'T MAKE THAT ONE, THERE'S ANOTHER MEETING IN ALVARADO THE NEXT NIGHT.
>> WE HAVE ANOTHER SLIDE IF YOU ALL DON'T MIND PULLING THAT UP.
IF YOU CANNOT MAKE THE PUBLIC MEETING EVEN IF YOU CAN, THERE'S CURRENTLY AN ONLINE SURVEY AVAILABLE AND SO I'M HOPING WE'RE ABLE TO PULL THAT UP BECAUSE THERE'S A QR CODE AND YOU JUST SCAN THE QR CODE OR YOU CAN GO TO THE LINK ON THIS FLYER AND PARTICIPATE IN THE ONLINE SURVEY AND THE INTERACTIVE MAP AS MAYOR PRO TEM MENTIONED.
IT'S GREAT THAT WE'RE ALL GETTING ON THE SAME PAGE, WE'RE ALL COMMUNICATING AND IT'S REALLY CRUCIAL TO HAVE CITIZEN INPUT ON WHAT ARE SOME OF THE ROADS THAT YOU ALL BELIEVE ARE HEAVILY CONGESTED OR MAYBE IF THIS PARTICULAR ROAD WAS EXPANDED, IT WOULD HELP ALLEVIATE OR BALANCE SOME OF THE TRAFFIC.
>> WE'RE GOING TO POP THAT SLIDE UP FOR YOU MOMENTARILY.
>> AGAIN, JUST ECHOING WHAT MAYOR PRO TEM SAID, WE ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO PARTICIPATE AND SHARE YOUR CONCERNS AND VALUABLE INPUT.
>> I WANT TO THANK DAN AND VICTORIA AND ALSO ALEX PHILIPS FOR BEING ON THIS BOARD FORCE.
WE'RE BEING REPRESENTED VERY WELL.
THIS IS A GREAT SITUATION AND I'M SO THANKFUL FOR JUDGE [INAUDIBLE] FOR IMPLEMENTING THIS ON THE MASTER PLAN FOR THE COUNTY.
>> WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO MOVE ON TO SECTION 3? THAT BRINGS US ON TO SECTION 3, CHANGES TO THE POSTED AGENDA.
3A IS ITEMS TO BE CONSIDERED OR WITHDRAWN, AND 3B IS ITEMS TO BE WITHDRAWN FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR SEPARATE DISCUSSION BY THE CITY COUNCIL STAFF OR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC IN ATTENDANCE.
ITEMS TO BE ADDED TO THE CONSENT AGENDA REQUIRE AN OFFICIAL VOTE OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO DO THAT.
[4. CITIZENS APPEARANCES]
>> THAT BRINGS US ON TO SECTION 4, CITIZENS APPEARANCE.
EACH PERSON IN ATTENDANCE WHO DESIRES TO SPEAK TO THE CITY COUNCIL ON AN ITEM NOT POSTED ON THE AGENDA THIS EVENING WILL SPEAK DURING THIS SESSION.
A SPEAKER CARD MUST BE FILLED OUT AND TURNED INTO THE CITY SECRETARY'S OFFICE PRIOR TO ADDRESSING THE CITY COUNCIL AND EACH SPEAKER WILL BE ALLOWED THREE MINUTES.
EACH SPEAKER IN ATTENDANCE WHO DESIRES TO SPEAK TO THE CITY COUNCIL ON AN ITEM POSTED ON THE AGENDA, WILL SPEAK WHEN THAT ITEM IS CALLED FORWARD.
AT THIS TIME, I DO HAVE ONE SPEAKER CARD, BLAIR.
>> HELLO. I'M HERE TONIGHT REPRESENTING THE LIONS CLUB AND SOME OF MY FELLOW LIONS ARE HERE.
WE'VE BEEN FORTUNATE TO HAVE SOME OF YOU-ALL IN THIS ROOM COME AND SPEAK TO US.
AND I THINK MAYOR FLETCHER, LAST TIME HE WAS WITH US SAID, YOU OUGHT TO COME TELL US WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
YOU'RE PROBABLY A LITTLE FAMILIAR WITH THE LIONS CLUB.
IT'S THE LARGEST SERVICE ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD.
THE BURLESON CHAPTER HAS BEEN IN PLACE SINCE 1945.
THAT ACTUALLY PREDATES MY FORMER FELLOW TEACHERS, PHIL AND RONNIE AND ME, NOT BY MUCH, BUT IT PREDATES US.
I'D LIKE TO BEGIN WITH A LITTLE GOOD NEWS.
WE WERE JUST INFORMED IN THE LAST COUPLE DAYS THAT FOR NORTH TEXAS, OUR LIONS CLUB RECEIVED A VERY SPECIAL AWARD, AND I'LL JUST QUOTE TO YOU.
IT'S THE LIONS INTERNATIONAL CLUB EXCELLENCE AWARD.
IN THEIR INFORMATION, THEY SAY, "THIS IS FOR EXCELLING IN THE AREAS OF MEMBERSHIP, SERVICE, LEADERSHIP, ORGANIZATIONAL EXCELLENCE, AND MARKETING." OUR MOTTO IS WE SERVE AND WE TAKE THAT VERY SERIOUSLY.
WE ARE HIGHLY INVOLVED IN COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES.
OUR MAJOR PROJECT WE DO IN THE COMMUNITY IS CALLED SITE FIRST.
WE GO INTO THE SCHOOLS, ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN BURLESON, SOME OF THE PRIVATE SCHOOLS, NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS LIKE KEENE.
[00:10:02]
WE TEST ALL OF THE KIDS FOR HEARING DEFICIENCIES AND SIGHT DEFICIENCIES.WE USUALLY GET ABOUT 15% THAT WE FIND THESE YOUNG KIDDOS WHO ARE GOING TO SCHOOL AND THEY'RE NOT DOING VERY WELL, AND THEY THINK JUST NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE OR HEAR CLEARLY, THAT'S NORMAL.
WE GET THEM REFERRED TO SOMEBODY WHO CAN HELP THEM IF THEY'RE LOW INCOME.
WE MAKE SURE THAT THEY END UP WITH GLASSES ON THEIR FACE WITH NO CHARGE COST TO THEM.
EACH KID GOT TWO TESTS, SO IT'S ABOUT 9,000 TESTS.
I'LL LET YOU IMAGINE HOW MANY HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE THAT IS.
YOU'VE SEEN OUR BOXES AROUND TOWN.
WE RECYCLE ABOUT 3,600 PAIR A YEAR.
THESE ALL GO TO A WAREHOUSE WHERE THEY'RE RED AND RECYCLED, REFURBISHED, AND MOSTLY ARE SENT TO THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES.
A LOT OF MINISTRY GROUPS THAT GO CARRY THESE GLASSES AND VOLUNTEER OPTOMETRISTS GO, AND GET KIDS WHO CAN'T SEE IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES WITH SOME GLASSES TOO.
WE GAVE THREE $1,000 SCHOLARSHIPS.
WE SUPPORT A WIDE VARIETY OF COMMUNITY EVENTS.
THE CITY HAS BEEN SO GRACIOUS.
I'VE TALKED TO SOME OF YOUR CITY OFFICIALS ABOUT US JUST SHOWING UP AT CITY EVENTS AND THEY SAID, COME ON.
WE WERE AT FOUNDERS DAY, HAD OUR TABLE, MET SOME PEOPLE AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE LIONS.
WE'RE GOING TO BE AT THE GREAT GIVE BACK FROM THE LIBRARY HERE NEXT MONTH.
WE'VE BEEN THE LAST TWO YEARS AND IT'S A GREAT EVENT.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE'VE GOT SOME GUYS HERE WHO CAN HELP ANSWER THEM.
ACTUALLY, IF ANYBODY WANTS YOUR EYES TESTED, WE HAVE ONE OF OUR $7,500 MACHINES WITH US AND WE CAN TAKE CARE OF YOU.
>> WELL, I WANT TO MAKE A STATEMENT.
I KNOW DR. LEE HELPS A LOT ON THIS TOO.
>> IS THERE OTHER BUSINESSES THAT HELPS OUT WITH YOU GUYS? I KNOW HE'S PROBABLY THE MAIN ONE, BUT THERE'S OTHER PEOPLE THAT HELPED DONATE AND HELP IN THERE?
>> HE'S THE ONLY OPTOMETRIST OR OPHTHALMOLOGIST THAT REALLY DOES THAT FOR US.
>> HE DOES A LOT AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.
>> I REMEMBER THE STORY THAT Y'ALL TOLD ME.
HE WAS TESTING ONE LITTLE GIRL AND SHE HAD PROBLEMS. SHE HAD HER BROTHER AND IT WAS HIS TURN TO HAVE THE GLASSES FOR THAT WEEK.
SOME OF THE STAFF HAVE NEVER HAD THEIR EYES CHECKED AND NOW THEY GET A PAIR OF GLASSES AND IT'S LIKE TOTAL AMAZEMENT.
WHAT YOU GUYS DO, THIS IS THE REASON I WANTED YOU UP HERE, TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW WE HAVE SO MANY GREAT NONPROFITS THAT SERVICE AND WE DON'T SEE THEM ENOUGH.
I KNOW I WAS AT THE CHAMBER SITTING THE OTHER DAY AND I TOLD PEOPLE UP THERE ON THE STAGE, I'M SO PROUD OF BURLESON AND HOW WE STEP UP FOR A NEED.
THANK YOU GUYS. I APPRECIATE YOU COMING.
>> THANK YOU-ALL FOR THE GREAT JOB YOU DO.
>> IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL ON AN ITEM NOT POSTED ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA? I HAVE NO OTHER SPEAKER CARDS, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
[9. RECESS INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION (Part 1 of 2)]

[2.C. Community Interest Items (Part 2 of 2)]
THAT COUNCIL MEMBER VICTORIA JOHNSON WAS MENTIONING PREVIOUSLY.>> I MENTIONED DURING COMMUNITY INTEREST ITEMS, JOHNSON COUNTY IS UNDERGOING A MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN, AND SEVERAL OF US ARE SITTING ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE OF THAT.
BUT THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO WEIGH IN AND WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO SO.
[00:15:04]
EVERYONE THAT'S LIVING IN JOHNSON COUNTY SHOULD PARTICIPATE AND LET THE COUNTY KNOW WHAT ARE THE ROADS THAT YOU SEE, OUR PROBLEM AREAS, IF SUCH AND SUCH ROAD COULD BE EXTENDED AND POTENTIALLY ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE TRAFFIC.THOSE KIND OF THINGS. THEY WANT TO HEAR FROM EVERYONE.
YOU CAN USE THIS QR CODE OR THE LINK IS ALSO LISTED AND WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO PARTICIPATE. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. THAT BRINGS US TO SECTION 5, CONSENT AGENDA.
[5. CONSENT AGENDA]
ALL ITEMS LISTED ON THE CONSENT AGENDA ARE CONSIDERED TO BE ROUTINE BY THE CITY COUNCIL AND WILL BE ENACTED WITH ONE MOTION.THERE WILL BE NO SEPARATE DISCUSSION OF THE ITEMS. APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA AUTHORIZES THE CITY MANAGER TO IMPLEMENT EACH ITEM IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS.
CURRENTLY TONIGHT BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL, THE CONSENT AGENDA CONSISTS OF ITEMS 5A-5Q.
MAYOR, IF YOU COULD ASK FOR A MOTION ON THE CONSENT AGENDA?
>> IS THERE A MOTION ON THE CONSENT? I GOT A MOTION BY PHIL IN A SECOND BY DAN.

Renfro Street (Case 23-351): Hold a public hearing and consider approval of an ordinance for a SUP, Specific Use Permit, allowing “Amusement, commercial (indoor)” in the CC, Central Commercial Zoning District. (First and Final Reading) (Staff Presenter: Tony McIlwain, Development Services Director) (The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval by unanimous vote)]
6A IS 1611 GOLF CLUB AT 224 EAST RENFRO STREET.TONIGHT THE COUNCIL IS ASKED TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE FOR AN SUP, A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT, NATIONAL COMMERCIAL INDOOR, IN THE CC CENTRAL COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT.
THIS IS BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL ON FIRST AND FINAL READING.
THE STAFF PRESENTED THIS EVENING IS TONY MCILWAIN, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR. MR. MCILWAIN.
>> THANK YOU, MISS [INAUDIBLE].
MAYOR, COUNCIL, THIS ITEM TONIGHT INVOLVES YOUR CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT, SUP, FOR THE 1611 GOLF CLUB.
THE LOCATION OF THE PROPERTY IS AT 224 EAST RENFRO STREET, AND MR. B. J. WARREN IS THE APPLICANT.
JUST BY WAY OF BACKGROUND, WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED TO BE DEVELOPED AT THIS SITE, WHICH IS THE FORMER DOLLAR GENERAL SITE, IS A TRAINING AND ENTERTAINMENT VENUE THAT FEATURES MULTIPLE GOLF BAYS WITH TRACK MAN TECHNOLOGY, PUTTING GREEN AND FULL SERVICE BAR AND KITCHEN.
THE EXISTING ZONING FOR THIS PROPERTY IS CC CENTRAL COMMERCIAL, AND THE SUP IS TO ALLOW FOR AMUSEMENT COMMERCIAL AT THIS LOCATION.
IT'S IN THE OLD TOWN LOCATION WITHIN THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, THE GRAPHIC ON THE RIGHT SHOWS YOU THE CENTRAL COMMERCIAL ZONING IN RELATION TO THE REST OF THE SURROUNDING ZONING OF THE AREA.
WE NOTIFIED INDIVIDUALS WITHIN THE PROPERTY, WAS WITHIN 300 FEET OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
DURING OUR DISCUSSION WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, FOLLOWING THEIR OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE PUBLIC HEARING, THERE WAS A RECOMMENDATION FOR A UNANIMOUS SUPPORT AND APPROVAL FOR THE SUP BY THE APPLICANT.
THERE WERE NO FEATURED SPEAKERS AT THAT MEETING.
STAFF IS IN SUPPORT OF THE SUP APPLICATION.
WHAT WE HAVE ON THE SCREEN SHOWS YOU THE LOCATION OF THE DOLLAR GENERAL SITE WITH THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS THAT THE BUSINESS OWNERS OF 1611 ARE LOOKING TO DO WITH THE SITE.
WITH THAT, COUNCIL, I'LL ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU-ALL MAY HAVE RELATIVE TO THE SUP.
>> ANYBODY? I'M GOING TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 07:02.
IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE WHO'D LIKE TO SPEAK?
>> I HAVE NO SPEAKER CARDS, MAYOR.
>> I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 07:03.
IF THERE'S NOT ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
>> HAVE A MOTION BY RONNIE, HE'S SECONDED BY ADAM.
PLEASE VOTE. PASS IS UNANIMOUS.
>> THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
[7.A. Receive a report, hold a discussion, and provide staff feedback on the Hooper Business Park Drainage. (Staff Presenter: Michelle McCullough, Assistant Director/City Engineer)]
THAT BRINGS US TO SECTION 7, REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS.SEVEN A IS TO RECEIVE A REPORT, HOLD A DISCUSSION, AND PROVIDE STAFF FEEDBACK ON THE HOOPER BUSINESS PARK DRAINAGE.
THE STAFF PRESENTER THIS EVENING IS MICHELLE MCCULLOUGH,
[00:20:03]
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR CITY ENGINEER. MISS MCCULLOUGH.>> THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL AND MAYOR.
I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE HOOPER BUSINESS PARK DRAINAGE AND TOWARDS THE END, I'LL GO OVER SOME POTENTIAL ATMOS LOCATIONS THAT WE PRESENTED TO THE I&D COMMITTEE.
I'M SURE YOU'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT, BUT JUST A LITTLE RECAP ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE.
LAKEWOOD DRIVE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION CURRENTLY.
THE EXTENSION OF LAKEWOOD DRIVE OUT TO THE TOLLWAY IS CURRENTLY UNDER DESIGN, AND WE'RE WORKING WITH TXDOT, NTTA, AND COG FOR THE EXACT REQUIREMENTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED FOR ENVIRONMENTAL AND IN ORDER TO GET THAT DESIGN.
CONSTRUCTION FUNDING STILL NEEDS TO BE IDENTIFIED.
THEN THE SEWER LIFT STATION IN FORCE MAIN TO SERVE THE BUSINESS PARK, CRAFTMASTERS, THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT, THAT IS COMPLETE AND WE EXPECT TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION EARLY 2024.
THE STORMWATER RETENTION DETENTION, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS TONIGHT.
CONSTRUCTION IS ANTICIPATED TO BEGIN SUMMER OF 2024.
THE PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT THAT THE EDC HAS WITH CRAFTMASTERS DOES OBLIGATE THE CITY TO START CONSTRUCTION NO LATER THAN THE END OF JUNE OF 2024 AND TO BE COMPLETED WITH THE POND SEPTEMBER 30, 2026.
THE INITIAL DESIGN OBJECTIVES INCLUDED SURVEY, DRAINAGE ANALYSIS, SCHEMATIC DESIGN, AND CONSTRUCTION PLANS.
THAT INITIAL CONTRACT WAS APPROVED IN OCTOBER 2022.
WHEN WE RECEIVED THE PRELIMINARY RESULTS, WHAT WE FOUND WAS THAT THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT VOLUME COMING FROM THE OFFSITE PROPERTY, AND YOU CAN SEE PRELIMINARY SCHEMATICS HAD A RATHER LARGE CHANNEL WITH TWO DETENTION PONDS.
THEN WE ALSO FOUND THAT COUNTY ROAD 1019 EXPERIENCES FLOODING, AND IT MAKES THE ROAD IMPASSABLE DURING MODERATE RAIN EVENTS.
AFTER REVIEWING THE DRAINAGE ANALYSIS, STAFF DID RECOMMEND AMENDING THE INITIAL SCOPE TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL ALTERNATIVES AND ROADWAY DESIGN.
THE REVISED DESIGN OBJECTIVES, THIS WAS BROUGHT TO EDC AND COUNCIL IN 2023, AND IT INCLUDED ADDITIONAL DRAINAGE ANALYSIS FOR TWO RETENTION PONDS, ADDITIONAL SURVEY FOR ROADWAY DESIGN, REALIGNMENT OF COUNTY ROAD 1019 TO HELP WITH THE FLOODING ISSUES.
WE WANTED TO EVALUATE AND MAKE SURE THAT WE COULD GET A SIDEWALK AND A TRAIL AROUND SO THAT WE COULD TIE INTO CRAFTMASTERS.
EVALUATION OF THREE ALTERNATIVES WHICH I'LL DISCUSS STARTING ON THE NEXT SLIDE.
THEN THE ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION BUDGET WAS IDENTIFIED AT 6.5 MILLION.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS THAT WE WANTED TO LOOK AT IS TO SERVE AS MUCH DEVELOPABLE LAND AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF STORMWATER GOING THROUGH THERE, SO WE KNEW THE POND WAS GOING TO BE QUITE LARGE.
ACCOMMODATE THE SANITARY SEWER LIFT STATION TO SERVE THE BUSINESS PARK AND SURROUNDING AREA.
ALSO TO LOOK AT ALLOWING FOR A POTENTIAL 0.65 ACRE ATMOS SITE.
POTENTIALLY PRESERVE APPROXIMATELY THREE ACRES FOR A FIRE STATION AND THEN ACCOMMODATE A 20-FOOT WIDE JSCUD WATER LINE EASEMENT THAT WILL SERVE THE BUSINESS PARK AND SURROUNDING AREA.
THESE ARE THE THREE ALTERNATIVES THAT WE LOOKED AT.
I KNOW THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME, BUT THEY ALL ARE DIFFERENT.
THE SINGLE DETENTION POND IS A DRY POND WITH A CHANNEL.
THE TWO DETENTION PONDS, THEY'RE BOTH DRY PONDS, AND THEN YOUR TWO RETENTION PONDS THEY'RE BOTH WET PONDS.
THE FIRST ONE IS YOUR SINGLE DETENTION DRY POND.
AS I SAID, THIS IS A COMBINATION OF A DRY POND AND A CHANNEL.
YOU WOULD HAVE A CONCRETE FLUME IN THE BOTTOM AND THIS HELPS PREVENT THAT SOGGY BOTTOM FOR RESIDUAL FLOW LOW RAIN EVENTS.
WE DID IDENTIFY TWO PAD SITES THERE AT THE HARD CORNER WHEN 1902 IS REALIGNED, AND THEN IT DOES ACCOMMODATE FOR AN EIGHT-FOOT TRAIL.
THEN THIS DESIGN ALLOWED FOR 15 ACRES REMAINING TO DEVELOP.
THAT DOES ACCOMMODATE A POTENTIAL EIGHT-ACRE CRAFTMASTERS HEADQUARTERS.
BECAUSE OF THIS CHANNEL, THIS DOESN'T HAVE ANY DETENTION COMPONENT SO FOR YOUR SINGLE DETENTION POND, IT HAS TO BE LARGER.
YOUR TWO DRY PONDS, AGAIN, HAS A CONCRETE CHANNEL IN IT TO PREVENT THAT SOGGY BOTTOM, SAME TWO PAD SITES.
IT ACCOMMODATES THE EIGHT-FOOT SIDEWALK TRAIL.
BUT WE GAINED ABOUT FIVE ACRES BECAUSE THE POND WAS ABLE TO BE SMALLER WITH THE SECOND DRY POND.
THE TWO WET PONDS, THE DIFFERENCE HERE IS YOU'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE
[00:25:01]
WATER IN IT ALL THE TIME AND THEN THERE'S GOING TO BE, IT'S CALLED A NORMAL POOL, AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE THAT DETENTION COMPONENT ON TOP OF IT.IT WILL NEED TO HAVE AERATION FOUNTAINS.
THE DIFFERENCE HERE, THERE'S A LITTLE AREA WITH THE TRAIL THE WAY THAT IT'S DESIGNED.
IN SMALLER STORMS, YOU COULD HAVE A SMALL, LITTLE POCKET PARK, MAYBE SOME BENCHES, A LITTLE LANDSCAPED AREA THAT COULD TIE INTO CRAFTMASTERS AND THEIR HEADQUARTERS IF THAT WAS DESIRED, AND YOU STILL HAVE THE 20 ACRES FOR DEVELOPMENT.
THIS IS JUST A SUMMARY OF THE OPC, THE ESTIMATED COST FOR EACH ONE.
YOU CAN SEE FOR THE TWO RETENTION PONDS THE COST IS HIGHER AND THAT IS MAINLY DUE TO THE EXPORT THE VOLUME BECAUSE YOUR DETENTION POND HAS TO BE MUCH DEEPER IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE AND HAVE THAT WATER IN THERE.
BUT THERE'S OPPORTUNITY TO OFFSET COSTS BY SELLING THAT EXPORT OR OFFSETTING FUTURE DEVELOPMENT COSTS BY SPREADING IT OUT ON THE ADJACENT LAND.
THIS IS JUST A SUMMARY OF THE CHISHOLM SUMMIT INFRASTRUCTURE.
YOU SEE LAKEWOOD DRIVE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION THAT WAS BID OUT.
THE LANDSCAPE OPTION C WAS THE MOST DENSE OPTION THAT I BELIEVE THAT COUNCIL WAS MORE FAVORABLE FOR STORM DRAINAGE, WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT TONIGHT.
THEN THE BEARING ELECTRIC OVERHEAD CAME TO YOU GUYS IN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS.
THE STREET LIGHTING WE DID BRING FORWARD, SORRY, AND THEN THE EXTENSION IS UNDER DESIGN NOW.
THESE NEXT SLIDES ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE POTENTIAL LOCATIONS FOR THE ATMOS REGULATOR STATION.
YOU CAN SEE THERE'S FOUR LOCATIONS.
THE NEAREST SOURCE FOR THE EXISTING GAS IS ABOUT 2 AND 1/2 MILES AWAY.
GAS NEEDS TO BE PROVIDED FOR HOOPER BUSINESS PARK, CHISHOLM SUMMIT, AND THE SURROUNDING AREA.
THERE IS AN EXISTING HIGH-PRESSURE GAS LINE THAT ATMOS PLANS TO CONSTRUCT AND BRING IT UP FROM 1902.
THEN A REGULATOR STATION WILL BE CONSTRUCTED THAT WILL CONVERT THE HIGH PRESSURE OVER TO LOW PRESSURE THAT CAN BE DISTRIBUTED OUT TO THE SITES.
THAT LOW-PRESSURE GAS CURRENTLY WILL BE EXTENDED DOWN LAKEWOOD.
AT THIS TIME, THEIR DESIGN HAS IT COMING DOWN 1902 NEAR OPTION 1.
THEY CAN GO AHEAD AND REDESIGN, AND I'LL GO THROUGH SOME OF THAT IN THE NEXT SLIDES.
WE DID WANT TO BRING THIS FORWARD.
OPTION 2 IS CRAFTMASTERS AND 3 AND 4 IS PRIVATELY OWNED BY R.A. DEVELOPMENT.
AS I MENTIONED, OPTION 1 IS CITY-OWNED.
THE ADVANTAGES HERE, THERE'S NO CASH PARTICIPATION FROM THE CITY.
ATMOS IS BRINGING THAT HIGH-PRESSURE LINE UP THIS DIRECTION.
THE LOW-PRESSURE GAS LINE RIGHT NOW IS SET TO BE CONSTRUCTED DOWN LAKEWOOD, WHICH CAN SERVE THE BUSINESS PARK AND SERVE CRAFTMASTERS.
R.A. DEVELOPMENT IS BEARING THE COST FOR THAT.
THE DISADVANTAGES IS IT DOES OCCUPY ABOUT TWO-THIRDS OF AN ACRE THAT COULD BE DEVELOPED.
OPTION 2 IS THE CRAFTMASTERS SITE.
AGAIN, NO CASH PARTICIPATION FROM THE CITY.
A LOW-PRESSURE GAS LINE MAY BE LOCATED WITHIN LAKEWOOD RIGHT OF WAY.
ADDITIONAL TWO-THIRDS ACRE AVAILABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT FROM THE CITY SITE.
THE DISADVANTAGES ARE THE HIGH-PRESSURE GAS LINE MAY NEED RELOCATION IN THE FUTURE WHEN LAKEWOOD IS EXTENDED.
WE JUST DON'T HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION WITH DESIGN TO SET ANY KIND OF DEPTH FOR THAT.
THIS IS SET TO BE THE GATEWAY INTO THE BUSINESS PARK.
FOR NUMBER 2, THE REGULATOR STATION COULD BE SEEN FROM THE ROADWAY.
COORDINATION WITH CRAFTMASTERS WOULD BE REQUIRED.
ADDITIONAL EASEMENTS AND RIGHT OF WAY ARE POSSIBLY NEEDED FROM THE ADJACENT PROPERTY KNOWN AS ANIMAL PANCAKES, SO THERE COULD BE A DELAY IN CONSTRUCTION.
THIS IS NOT LOCATED ON CITY PROPERTY.
LOW-PRESSURE GAS LINE MAY BE LOCATED WITHIN THE LAKEWOOD RIGHT OF WAY IF ATMOS STILL BRINGS THE GAS LINE UP 1902.
IT DOES INCREASE THE ACREAGE FOR DEVELOPMENT ON CITY PROPERTY.
DISADVANTAGES ARE THE HIGH-PRESSURE GAS LINE REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF 30 IF THEY WERE TO RELOCATE IT AND BRING IT DOWN 1016 IN LAKEWOOD.
CITY OR CRAFTMASTERS TO FUND THE LOW-PRESSURE GAS LINE THROUGH THE BUSINESS PARK.
CRAFTMASTERS WHO CURRENTLY IS DISCUSSING POTENTIAL PURCHASING OF THIS PORTION FROM R.A. DEVELOPMENT.
[00:30:04]
OPTION 4 IS ALSO OWNED BY R.A.THE SITE WOULD NOT BE LOCATED ON CITY PROPERTY.
AGAIN, LOW-PRESSURE GAS LINE MAY BE LOCATED WITHIN LAKEWOOD DRIVE'S RIGHT OF AWAY HOWEVER, THE HIGH-PRESSURE GAS LINE AT THIS POINT WOULD DEFINITELY MOST LIKELY BE REROUTED DOWN COUNTY ROAD 1016.
AN EXCLUSIVE 30-FOOT EASEMENT THEY'LL REQUIRE FOR THAT.
THERE WOULD BE PROPERTY ACQUISITION FROM PROPERTY OWNERS LIKELY DELAYING IT.
CRAFTMASTERS' SCHEDULE PER THE PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT MAY BE AFFECTED.
THE CITY OR CRAFTMASTERS WOULD HAVE TO FUND THE LOW-PRESSURE GAS LINE TO SERVE THE BUSINESS PARK AREA AND THEN REDUCED ACREAGE FOR THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AT THE ROUNDABOUT.
WHEN PRESENTED TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE, THE FEEDBACK WE RECEIVED WAS THAT THE COMMITTEE UNANIMOUSLY SUPPORTED OPTION 1.
WITH COUNCIL APPROVAL, ATMOS WILL EXTEND HIGH-PRESSURE LINE DOWN FM 1902 TO THE SITE AND WILL CONSTRUCT THE REGULATOR STATION.
R.A. DEVELOPMENT WOULD FUND THE LOW-PRESSURE LINE DOWN LAKEWOOD DRIVE TO SERVE CHISHOLM SUMMIT.
GAS WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO THE BUSINESS PARK.
CITY'S CONTRIBUTION IS ONLY THE EASEMENT FOR THE REGULATOR STATION SITE.
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT A REGULATOR STATION LOOKS LIKE.
THEY HAVE AGREED TO UTILIZE THE SAME FENCING IN CHISHOLM SUMMIT AND WHAT WE'RE GOING TO USE FOR THE LIFT STATION.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M AVAILABLE.
>> ON OPTION 3 AND 4, AESTHETICALLY IN THE BAD TIMES, WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? DOES IT LOOK GOOD? IS IT MAINTAINABLE? I SEE A LOT OF THE DETENTION PONDS FILL UP, THEN THEY DRY OUT AND EVERYTHING'S BAD.
>> ON THE DETENTION POND, SO THERE WAS ONLY THREE ALTERNATIVES LOOKED AT THERE.
THE THIRD ONE WAS THE ONE WITH THE WET PONDS, AND SO THERE WOULD HAVE TO BE A WATER WELL THAT WOULD KEEP IT FILLED UP.
>> THE DRY PONDS, YOU WOULD HAVE TO MOW THEM.
THEY'RE JUST GOING TO BE RATHER LARGE.
BUT YOU SEE THE RETENTION PONDS WITH THE TYPICAL DEVELOPMENT YOU SEE AROUND HERE, THESE ARE ABOUT FOUR ACRES.
>> WOW. ANYBODY BEARING QUESTIONS?
>> ON THE TWO WET PONDS, IS THERE ANY FUTURE USE? I NOTICED YOU SAID THERE WAS SOME LAND AVAILABLE FOR A PARK IN THE AREA FOR IRRIGATION OUT OF EITHER ONE OF THOSE PONDS.
OR IS THAT TOO FAR IN THE PLANS?
>> IT'S A LITTLE TOO FAR IN THE PLANS.
>> WELL I LIKE THE TWO RETENTION PONDS, THE WET FOR ONE REASON, THEY FILTER THROUGH THE WATER COMING FROM UPSTREAM TO DOWNSTREAM.
IF WE KEEP THEM CLEANED OUT, THEN THAT'LL HELP THE ENVIRONMENT.
>> I DO TOO. YOU GOT THAT ONE.
>> I THINK AT ONE POINT WE HAD ALSO SAID SOMETHING LIKE IT COULD END UP BEING A FEATURE AS YOU ENTER THE PARK, DEPENDING ON HOW IT'S DESIGNED.
>> SINCE WE'RE ALREADY GOING TO MAYBE SPEND SOME MORE MONEY ON THE ROAD THERE, MAKING IT WITH THE TREES AND EVERYTHING.
>> I LIKE OPTION 1 ON THE ATMOS PLAN.
THE GAS REGULATOR I LIKE OPTION 1 ALSO.
>> THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
[7.B. Receive a report, hold a discussion, and provide staff feedback regarding an update on the Police Headquarters Expansion Project. (Staff Presenter: Errick Thompson, Director of Public Works & Engineering)]
THAT BRINGS US TO 7B.IT'S TO RECEIVE A REPORT, HOLD A DISCUSSION, AND PROVIDE STAFF FEEDBACK REGARDING AN UPDATE ON THE POLICE HEADQUARTERS EXPANSION PROJECT.
THE STAFF PRESENTER THIS EVENING IS ERIC THOMPSON, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING. MR. THOMPSON.
>> THANK YOU, MS. CAMPOS. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
THERE IT IS. TONIGHT I HAVE A VERY HOPEFULLY BRIEF UPDATE FOR YOU ON THE POLICE HEADQUARTERS PROJECT.
YOU'VE SEEN AND HEARD ABOUT THIS A NUMBER OF TIMES OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS.
WE'VE GOT SOME POTENTIALLY EXCITING PROGRESS TO REPORT.
JUST BY THE WAY OF A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND, WE BROUGHT THIS TO YOU IN AUGUST, BACK AGAIN IN OCTOBER, WITH SOME ADDITIONAL OPTIONS THAT YOU REQUESTED.
YOU GAVE US DIRECTION, OCTOBER 16.
THAT ALSO EXPANDED THE PROJECT BUDGET TO 42 MILLION, FROM 36.4 MILLION.
[00:35:04]
SINCE OCTOBER, CITY STAFF, ALONG WITH THE DESIGN TEAM HAVE WORKED PRETTY HARD TO TRY AND REFINE THE PROJECT A LITTLE BIT MORE.THIS GRAPHIC SHOWS YOU THE SITE PLAN BASED ON YOUR DIRECTION, OCTOBER 16TH.
THAT WAS ONE ONE-STORY BUILDING THAT WAS ABOUT 24,000 SQUARE FEET.
A RELATIVELY LARGE ASSET BUILDING ANOTHER 15 PLUS THOUSAND SQUARE FEET.
THE OTHER ITEMS THAT YOU SEE HERE THAT REVISED SCOPE WITH THE EXPANDED BUDGET PROVIDES THE SPACE NEEDED FOR 20 YEARS FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS.
IT DOES LOCATE THE PROPERTY AND EVIDENCE FUNCTION IN THE ASSET BUILDING, WHICH IS NOT THE PREFERENCE FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
BUT WE'VE I THINK GOT GOOD NEWS ON THAT FRONT COMING UP IN A FEW SLIDES.
UNDER THIS CONCEPT THE INVESTIGATIONS SECTION WOULD REMAIN IN THE EXISTING BUILDING.
BUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I'M CLEAR THAT WHILE INVESTIGATIONS WOULD HAVE 20 YEARS WORTH OF SPACE, IT WOULDN'T BE OPTIMIZED, WE WOULD STILL NEED THE RENOVATION OF THAT SPACE TO GIVE THEM 20 YEARS OF FUNCTIONAL USE OF THE SPACE.
THE EXPANDED PROJECT AND BUDGET DID INCLUDE ADDING THE TEMPORARY HOLDING CELLS, BUT NOT THE SECURE SALLY PORT.
BACK TO THE NUMBERS. [LAUGHTER] THE REVISED BUDGET OF 42 MILLION INCLUDED THE PROGRAM THAT I JUST WENT OVER, INCLUDING THE HOLDING SALES.
YOU MAY RECALL THAT THE GO BOND PROGRAM INCLUDED 36.4 MILLION FOR THIS PROJECT.
THAT REVISED BUDGET OF 42 MILLION GIVES US A DELTA JUST UNDER 5.6 MILLION.
WE SPOKE TO YOU PREVIOUSLY ABOUT HOW WE WOULD FUND THAT.
BASICALLY FROM MAKING SOME SHIFTS WITH RICA HILL AND GREEN RIDGE, FOR ABOUT FOUR MILLION.
THEN THE [INAUDIBLE] STREET WIDENING, CONVERTING SOME OF THAT PROJECT'S FUNDING FROM DEBT CAPACITY TO IMPACT FEES FOR THE TOTAL OF 5.583 MILLION.
MENTIONED SINCE OCTOBER, THE TEAM HAS BEEN WORKING HARD TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO REFINE.
AND THIS WILL BE AN ONGOING PROCESS UNTIL WE ACTUALLY START CONSTRUCTION.
ACTUALLY EVEN DURING CONSTRUCTION THIS EFFORT WILL CONTINUE, TO CONTINUE TO REFINE, TO TRY TO SQUEEZE AS MUCH AS WE CAN INTO THE AVAILABLE BUDGET, TO MAKE SURE THAT POLICE AND PUBLIC SAFETY HAVE WHAT THEY NEED IN THIS PROJECT.
WE'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT ADJACENCIES AND CIRCULATION WITHIN THE BUILDING, AND THEN WHICH FUNCTIONS WITHIN THE BUILDING WOULD BE GOOD CANDIDATES FOR THE SHELTER SPACE THAT WE'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE BY BUILDING CODE.
WE'VE DETERMINED THAT IT'S REALLY PRUDENT TO LEAVE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS IS IN FULL SUPPORT OF THAT REVISION.
THAT ACTUALLY CREATES THE MASSING.
I THINK THE ARCHITECTS TALKED IN PROBABLY OCTOBER, MAYBE AUGUST, ABOUT HOW WE REALLY JUST DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH SQUARE FOOTAGE TO MAKE A SECOND-STORY BUILDING COST-EFFECTIVE, CONSTRUCTION-WISE.
WELL, BY MAKING THIS CHANGE OF ADDING PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS TO THE SECOND FLOOR, THE SECOND-FLOOR LAYOUT NOW BECOMES COST-EFFECTIVE, FROM A CONSTRUCTION STANDPOINT.
THIS ALSO WOULD ALLOW PROPERTY AND EVIDENCE TO BE MOVED INTO THE NEW BUILDING.
THAT WAS ONE OF THE KEY THINGS THAT I THINK THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS VERY INTERESTED IN.
THEN WE'VE TAKEN A PRELIMINARY LOOK AT SOME OF THE FUNCTIONS THAT MIGHT MOVE INTO THE SHELTER SPACE, THE HARDENED SPACE, IF YOU WILL.
WE'RE THINKING NOW THINGS LIKE THE SIMULATOR, THE VIRTUAL REALITY SPACES, AND MAYBE DEFENSIVE TACTICS TRAINING COULD BE GOOD CANDIDATES TO OCCUPY THAT SPACE.
THIS EXHIBIT SHOWS A REVISED SITE PLAN THAT MATCHES THESE CHANGES THAT I JUST MENTIONED.
NOW IT'S A TWO-STORY BUILDING THAT'S 28,000 SQUARE FEET, ROUGHLY, INSTEAD OF THE ONE-STORY, 24,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING THAT WE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE.
YOU CAN ALREADY SEE THAT BY GOING TWO STORY, THE PARKING IS A LITTLE BETTER.
WE'RE CLOSER TO THE TARGET THAT WE'RE TRYING TO REACH BECAUSE THERE'S LESS SPACE TAKEN UP BY THIS ONE STORY LARGE BUILDING.
AT THE SAME TIME THE ASSET BUILDING BECOMES SMALLER.
[00:40:02]
I MENTIONED THAT WE MOVED PROPERTY IN EVIDENCE INTO THE MAIN BUILDING.THAT MEANT A COUPLE THOUSAND SQUARE FEET COULD COME OUT OF THE ASSET BUILDING THAT ALSO HELPED WITH THE PARKING SITUATION.
THIS EXHIBIT SHOWS A LITTLE SQUARE THAT REPRESENTS THE SALLY PORT.
WHILE IT'S SHOWN ON THIS PICTURE, I WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M CLEAR THAT THIS IS NOT IN THE BUDGET AT THIS TIME.
HOPEFULLY IT WILL AT SOME POINT MAKE ITS WAY INTO THE $42,000,000 BUDGET.
BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT IN THE BUDGET, BUT IT'S SHOWN JUST TO SHOW WHERE WOULD IT BE IF WE ARE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GET TO THE POINT WHERE WE CAN ACTUALLY SQUEEZE IT IN.
AGAIN, THIS WILL BE A CONTINUOUS EFFORT TO TRY AND REFINE AND SHAPE THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT, BUT FOR NOW, THE HOLDING CELLS ARE IN, THE SALLY PORT IS NOT.
>> WHAT'S THE DOLLAR AMOUNT ON THE SALLY PORT?
>> THE INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE SAW A LOT OF THIS SAME INFORMATION ON JANUARY 10TH AT THEIR MEETING, AND THE COMMITTEE WAS SUPPORTIVE OF THE UPDATES AND EXPRESSED A DESIRE TO CONTINUE TO WORK TOWARDS INCLUDING THE SALLY PORT WHILE STAYING IN THE $42,000,000 BUDGET.
WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.
>> ERIC, HAS THE PRICE OF THAT SALLY PORT GONE UP? I WAS SHOWING 750,000 ON A PREVIOUS PRESENTATION.
>> YOU'RE RIGHT. IT WAS TWO MILLION FOR THE SALLY PORT AND THE HOLDING CELLS WERE 1.3, SALLY PORT, 700.
>> FIRST, I WANT TO SAY I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE STAFF WORKING WITH THE DESIGN TEAM.
I THINK BACK IN OCTOBER WE WERE FACED WITH A VERY HARD DECISION OF TRYING TO GET AS MUCH AS WE CAN WITH THE MONEY THAT WE WERE STRAPPED WITH BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE ABOUT $7.5 MILLION IN DEBT CAPACITY.
THAT'S FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS TOTAL.
REALLY AT THAT TIME, I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO REALLY WANT TO STRAP ALL THAT MONEY.
I WAS HOPING THAT WITH THE 42 MILLION THAT DURING THE DESIGN PHASE, WE CAN CONTINUE TO WORK AND TRY TO FIND EFFICIENCIES.
I THINK THAT WE'VE GOTTEN PRETTY MUCH AND HOPEFULLY THE PD WILL FEEL THE SAME WHAT THEY WERE WANTING AND GETTING EVERYTHING IN THESE BUILDINGS.
WHAT I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO PROPOSE IS SINCE IT'S ONLY 10% OF OUR ADDITIONAL CAPACITY AND WE MAY BE ABLE TO FIND OTHER EFFICIENCIES, I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THE SALLY PORT AND TAKE THAT OUT OF OUR DEBT CAPACITY.
IT'S 750,000, THAT'LL GIVE THEM THE SALLY PORT.
WE RAISE THE BUDGET TO 42,750.
THEN IF YOU COULD MAKE MORE EFFICIENCIES TO DO MORE, THEN SO BE IT.
BUT THAT WOULD AT LEAST ELIMINATE A LITTLE BIT.
WE STILL HAVE ABOUT SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT CAPACITY, BUT THAT WOULD BE MY PROPOSITION.
>> TO DO THIS RIGHT THE FIRST TIME IS IMPORTANT AND I AGREE WITH ADAM ON THIS.
SEE IF THERE'S ANY WAY WE CAN DO THIS, WE NEED TO GET IT DONE.
>> [OVERLAPPING] LOOK, ADAM, THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT WITHOUT TAKING IN THE MONEY YET.
>> WELL, LET'S JUST ELIMINATE ANY MORE SPECULATION THOUGH.
I HOPE WE CAN FIND A FEW MORE EFFICIENCIES AND SOME THINGS TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN WITHOUT THE PAIN OF HAVING TO DIP INTO FUTURE DEBT CAPACITY TO GET IT.
BUT EITHER WAY, I WANT TO SEE THAT BECOME A PART OF IT.
>> I AGREE WITH ADAM ALSO, AND I'D LIKE TO THANK THE CITY MANAGER, STAFF, AND THE POLICE CHIEF FOR WHAT THEY'VE DONE FOR THE POLICE CHIEFS TEAM. THANK YOU.
>> MAYOR, COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR THE DIRECTION.
I WOULD ADD WE'LL STILL CONTINUE TO TRY TO KEEP IT IN $42 MILLION TO MAYOR PRO TEM'S POINT, BUT IF NOT, WE'LL REFLECT THE CIP TO SHOW AN INCREASED AMOUNT.
>> I GENUINELY APPRECIATE ALL THAT STAFF'S PUT INTO THIS, AND ESPECIALLY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR HAVING CONTINUOUS MEETINGS AND ALL OF YOU COMING TO THE TABLE AND FIGURING OUT, PENCIL TO PAPER, WHAT CAN WE MAKE WORK? IT'S REALLY IMPRESSIVE TO SEE WHAT YOU'VE ALL BEEN ABLE TO PUSH TOGETHER. I DO SUPPORT.
I WAS EXACTLY GOING TO ASK THOSE TWO QUESTIONS.
THE MAYOR BEAT ME TO ASKING HOW MUCH IT WAS, AND 750, I THINK IT'S DOABLE, I BELIEVE.
BUT HOPEFULLY, MORE CONCESSIONS CAN BE MADE AND THINGS DON'T HAVE TO BE SO STRETCHED.
BUT CONSIDERING WE'RE THAT CLOSE TO CHECKING ALMOST EVERYTHING OFF OF OUR LIST,
[00:45:06]
I'D SAY IT'S PRETTY IMPRESSIVE. THANK YOU.>> LET ME ASK ONE THING, CHIEF.
THIS IS GOING TO ELIMINATE SOME OF THE TRIPS TO JOHNSON COUNTY AND MANSFIELD, IS THAT CORRECT?
>> WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO HIM? [LAUGHTER].
THIS IS TO CONTROL OUR TRIPS TO CLEVELAND, CORRECT?
>> WELL, IT LITERALLY IS A HOLDING FACILITY.
IF WE MAKE AN ARREST AND WE'RE HAVING TO PROCESS PAPERWORK OR DWI, BLOOD WARRANTS, THINGS LIKE THAT, IT IS A SECURE FACILITY.
WE CAN PUT THEM IN, THEN WE WILL TRANSPORT THEM TO JOHNSON COUNTY OR [OVERLAPPING].
>> BUT THIS IS MORE EFFICIENT FOR YOU, CORRECT?
>> THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO KNOW.
>> THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

CITY COUNCIL REQUESTS FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS AND/OR REPORTS.>> I KNOW THERE IS A LOT OF SCUTTLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND OUT IN THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THE LIBRARY PRESENTATION.
