FIRST ITEM ON OUR AGENDA IS CITIZENS APPEARANCES.

IF WE HAVE ANY CITIZENS IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE BOARD, THIS WOULD BE YOUR TIME.

I SEE NO SUCH REQUESTS, AND I'M MADE AWARE THERE ARE NONE.

SO WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM 3.

[3.A. Consider approval of the minutes from the January 22, 2024, Economic Development Corporation (Type A) meeting. (Staff Contact: Amanda Campos, City Secretary)]

YOU GENTLEMEN ALL HAVE THESE ON YOUR DAIS THERE.

IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THEM AND READY TO MAKE A MOTION, I'M READY.

MOVE TO APPROVE THE MINUTES.

SECOND. A MOTION BY RUSSELL, SECOND BY JOHNSON TO APPROVE ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.

AND THAT MOTION PASSES WITH A UNANIMOUS VOTE.

NEXT UP IS ITEM 3B.

[3.B. Consider approval of a request for a permanent pipeline and aboveground facilities easement with Atmos Energy Corporation within the Hooper Business Park property. (Staff Contact: Michelle McCullough, Assistant Director/City Engineer)]

GOOD EVENING. HOPE YOU GUYS ARE DOING WELL.

MY NAME IS MICHELLE MCCULLOUGH, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING AND CITY ENGINEER.

SO TODAY, BEFORE YOU IS CONSIDERATION OF AN ATMOS ENERGY PIPELINE AND ABOVE GROUND FACILITIES EASEMENT.

NOW YOU'VE SEEN THIS SLIDE BEFORE.

THIS IS JUST A LITTLE BACKGROUND.

SO LAKEWOOD DRIVE IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

THERE WILL BE A TEMPORARY CONNECTION TO FM 1902.

WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH TXDOT ON THAT.

THE LONGER TERM IS A PERMANENT EXTENSION OF LAKEWOOD OUT TO THE TOLLWAY, AND THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDER DESIGN.

AND WE'RE ALSO WORKING WITH TXDOT AND NTTA AND COG, AND THEN THE SEWER LIFT STATION AND FORCE MAIN THAT'S GOING TO SERVE THE BUSINESS PARK IN THE SURROUNDING AREA.

THE CONSTRUCTION PROCUREMENT IS UNDERWAY RIGHT NOW, AND WE SHOULD BE RECEIVING THOSE PROPOSALS NEXT WEEK.

STORM WATER RETENTION DETENTION.

IT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO BE A RETENTION POND.

THAT DESIGN IS UNDERWAY.

IT IS ABOUT 90% COMPLETE.

AND WE DO ANTICIPATE THAT IT WILL BID MAYBE MAY TIME FRAME JUNE AND BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION THIS SUMMER.

AND AGAIN, LIKE I SAID, YOU HAVE SEEN THIS IN THE PAST.

THIS THE ATMOS FACILITIES.

THE NEAREST SOURCE IS ABOUT TWO AND A HALF MILES AWAY.

IT IS AN EXISTING HIGH PRESSURE TRANSMISSION LINE THAT WILL BE EXTENDED FROM FM 917 AND 1902.

ATMOS DOES REQUIRE A MINIMUM EXCLUSIVE 30 FOOT EASEMENT RIGHT OF WAY FOR THAT LINE, BUT LIKE I SAID, IT IS AN EXISTING AND IT'S GOING TO COME UP 1902.

THE LOW PRESSURE GAS LINE WILL BE EXTENDED THROUGH THE BUSINESS PARK ALONG LAKEWOOD DRIVE IN THE RIGHT OF WAY, AND THE REGULATOR STATION THAT IS PROPOSED TO BE CONSTRUCTED WILL CONVERT THE HIGH PRESSURE TO LOW PRESSURE FOR THE DISTRIBUTION LINES.

WE DID LOOK AT FOUR POTENTIAL LOCATIONS.

AND THE ONE THAT WAS PREFERRED WAS LOCATION NUMBER ONE IN THE BUSINESS PARK.

SO THE GAS WOULD BE PROVIDED TO THE HOOPER BUSINESS PARK, CHISHOLM SUMMIT, CRAFT MASTERS AND ANY FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.

AND THE OPTIONS WERE PRESENTED TO BOTH THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE AND CITY COUNCIL.

AS I MENTIONED I&D COMMITTEE, DID SUPPORT OPTION NUMBER ONE, WHICH IS THE CITY OWNED PROPERTY.

CITY COUNCIL DID DIRECT STAFF TO PROCEED WITH THIS LOCATION.

AND RA DEVELOPMENT IS PREPARED TO FUND THE LOW PRESSURE LINE DOWN LAKEWOOD DRIVE TO SERVE CHISHOLM SUMMIT AND GAS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO THE BUSINESS PARK.

AND OUR CONTRIBUTION THE CITY'S CONTRIBUTION IS ONLY THE EASEMENT FOR THE REGULATOR STATION.

ATMOS HAS COMMITTED TO USE THE SAME SCREENING FENCE AND LANDSCAPING PROPOSED FOR LAKEWOOD.

CONSISTENCY. AT LEAST SIX FOOT TALL ORNAMENTAL FENCES WITH THREE INCH DIAMETER STEEL POST TO EIGHT FOOT TALL.

TWO CABLES WOULD BE PLACED ON THE TOP OF THE FENCE.

LANDSCAPE TO BE CONSISTENT WITH LAKEWOOD DRIVE AND THE SANITARY SEWER LIFT STATION, THAT'S ONE THING WE ARE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW.

THE THE LANDSCAPING IS CURRENTLY UNDER DESIGN, SO WE WILL HOPEFULLY HAVE A SUBMITTAL FROM RA DEVELOPMENT SOON TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

SO THE ACTION REQUESTED TODAY IS TO PREVIEW IS TO APPROVE THE REQUEST FOR THE PERMANENT PIPELINE AND ABOVE GROUND FACILITIES, AND ALSO TO IN ORDER TO THE EASEMENT DOES NOT INCLUDE LANGUAGE FOR THE SCREENING.

AND SO WE WOULD ASK THAT YOU APPROVE THIS REQUEST CONTINGENT ON THE ATTORNEY APPROVING LANGUAGE FOR A SEPARATE AGREEMENT.

YEAH. OKAY.

[00:05:02]

THANK YOU. MICHELLE. QUESTIONS, ANYONE? ALL RIGHT. NO DISCUSSION.

THEN WE'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

MOVE TO APPROVE.

SECOND. HAVE A MOTION BY JOHNSON, A SECOND BY RUSSELL TO APPROVE ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.

ALL HANDS COME UP. THAT MOTION PASSED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE, AND THAT WILL INCLUDE SUBJECT.

YES. I'M SORRY, IN YOUR MOTION.

RONNIE, SHE ASKED THAT WE MAKE THIS APPROVAL CONTINGENT UPON RECEIVING AN AGREEMENT FOR LANDSCAPING TO MATCH WHAT'S BEEN PRESENTED TONIGHT.

SO IS THAT A PART OF YOUR MOTION? AND THAT'S A THAT'S A PART OF YOUR MOTION.

OKAY. AND THAT'S A PART OF HIS SECOND.

ALL RIGHT, FOR THE RECORD, THAT'S PART OF OUR REQUIREMENT.

WAS THERE LANGUAGE THAT NEEDED TO SAY CONTINGENT UPON ATTORNEY'S APPROVAL AS WELL? SO IT'S A SEPARATE AGREEMENT THAT ALSO NEEDS ATTORNEY'S TO APPROVE THAT AGREEMENT.

SO THERE IS THE ATTORNEY APPROVAL THAT YOU'LL NEED IN THERE.

CORRECT. ARE YOU OKAY TO AMEND YOUR ACTION? NO, IT'S WE'RE DOING IT IN ONE.

IT'S NOT QUITE AS ELEGANT AS WE WOULD LIKE TO DO IT IN ONE, BUT WE CAN DO IT IN ONE.

AS LONG AS YOU SAY THAT UPON CONTINGENT UPON ATTORNEY APPROVAL.

ALL RIGHT. AND THE SECOND.

THANK YOU. LET'S JUST MAKE SURE WE GOT.

YES. EVERYONE'S STILL IN FAVOR.

EVERYBODY HAPPY WITH THIS? OKAY. SORRY ABOUT THAT LITTLE, LITTLE VARIATION IN THE PROTOCOL THERE, BUT WE'LL MAKE IT WORK.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT IN AFTER WE'VE DISPOSED OF THAT ITEM IS ITEM 3C TO CONSIDER A REQUEST FOR A PERMANENT 20 FOOT WIDE WATER LINE EASEMENT WITH JOHNSON COUNTY SPECIAL

[3.C. Consider a request for a permanent 20-foot-wide water line easement with Johnson County Special Utility District located within the Hooper Business Park property. (Staff Contact: Michelle McCullough, Assistant Director/City Engineer)]

ALSO PRESENTED BY MICHELLE MCCULLOUGH.

THANK YOU.

OKAY AS YOU MENTIONED, THIS IS A 20 FOOT WATER LINE EASEMENT TO JOHNSON COUNTY SPECIAL UTILITY DISTRICT.

THIS IS THE SAME SLIDE, UNLESS YOU WANT ME TO TALK ABOUT IT AGAIN, I'M JUST GOING TO SKIP IT.

SO THE 20 FOOT WATER LINE EASEMENT RA DEVELOPMENT IS GOING TO IS CONSTRUCTING THIS WATER LINE ALONG THE NORTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE HOOPER BUSINESS PARK.

AND THIS WILL SERVE NOT ONLY CRAFT MASTERS, BUT THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT IN THE BUSINESS PARK, AS WELL AS CHISHOLM SUMMIT MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT AND ANY OF THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL COME FROM THIS.

AND AGAIN RA DEVELOPMENT IS PAYING FOR THIS AND THE CITY'S CONTRIBUTION FOR THIS IS JUST THE 20 FOOT WIDE WATER LINE EASEMENT.

SO THE ACTION REQUESTED IS TO APPROVE THE 20 FOOT WIDE WATER LINE EASEMENT TO JOHNSON COUNTY SPECIAL UTILITY DISTRICT.

ALL RIGHT. QUESTIONS ON THIS.

ALL RIGHT. NO SPECIAL CONDITIONS THIS TIME, ALL RIGHT? NO, SIR. OKAY.

DO I HAVE A MOTION? I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE PERMANENT, 20 FOOT WIDE WATER LINE EASEMENT WITH JOHNSON COUNTY SPECIAL UTILITY DISTRICT.

SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION BY SCOTT, SECONDED BY ANDERSON.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AND THAT MOTION PASSES BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.

THANKS, GUYS. ALL RIGHT, NEXT UP IS ANY REQUESTS? NONE INDICATED. NEXT UP, THEN, WILL BE ITEM 5.

HAVE WE A NEED FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION? I SEE HEADS SHAKING.

SO THERE'S NO NEED FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION THIS EVENING.

AND WE WILL ADJOURN THE MEETING AT 4:53.

THANK YOU.
