THAT BRINGS US TO SECTION SEVEN GENERAL SEVEN A IS TO CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE FIVE YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT

[7.A. Consider and take possible action on a resolution amending the five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for Fiscal Year 2025-2029 (CSO#5673-11-2024). (Staff Contact: Eric Oscarson, Deputy City Manager)]

PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025 THROUGH 2029. THAT CSO 5673-11-2024, THE STAFF PRESENTER THIS EVENING IS ERIC OSCARSSON, DEPUTY CITY MANAGER, MR. OSCARSSON. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THE ITEM BEFORE YOU IS TO AMEND THE CURRENT CIP FOR FY 25 THROUGH 29.

SOME KEY UPDATES TO THIS. WE'RE UPDATING THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HEADQUARTERS ALLOCATION BASED ON SOME COUNCIL ACTION ON FEBRUARY 17TH, TO INCREASE THE FUNDING FOR THAT PROJECT. WE'VE ADDED THE EQUIPMENT TO THE CIP BASED ON COUNCIL'S DIRECTION ON FEBRUARY 3RD.

SO THIS IS EQUIPMENT THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY IN THE ERF, AND THAT IS NOW GOING TO BE ADDED TO OUR CAPITAL PROGRAM.

WE'VE ADJUSTED THE PROJECT ALLOCATIONS TO BALANCE TO BALANCE THE DEBT ISSUANCE ACROSS THE PERIOD OF TIME.

WE'VE ADDED THE NATATORIUM AND INDOOR PLAY STRUCTURE AT RUSSELL FARMS AND RUSSELL FARM, CHESAPEAKE BUILDING TO THE FOUR B AND WATER, SEWER AND PARKS PROJECTS ALL HAVE BEEN UPDATED BASED ON OUR LATEST ESTIMATES.

SO THIS IS THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT CIP THAT WE'RE SHOWING THE AMENDMENTS FOR ON THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT SIDE, YOU'LL SEE IN 28 AND 29, WE'VE ADDED ADDITIONAL COSTS FOR NEIGHBORHOOD STREET REBUILD TO COMPLETE ALL THE NEIGHBORHOOD STREET PROGRAMS THAT WERE PROPOSED IN THE GO BOND.

[00:35:02]

THAT'S BASED ON COST INCREASES. YOU CAN SEE THAT WE'VE ADJUSTED THE POLICE EXPANSION.

WE'VE REMOVED $13 MILLION IN THE POLICE EXPANSION PROJECT FROM THE GO BOND SIDE.

BUT WE HAVE ALSO AT THE BOTTOM, YOU'LL SEE WE'VE INCREASED THE CO EXPANSION FROM THE 6.3 TO THE SEVEN.

THAT'S JUST BASED ON TIMING OF THE PROJECT. WE ARE PLANNING ON COMING FORWARD WITH THE FIRST GMP PACKAGE FOR THE PD EXPANSION IN AUGUST OF THIS YEAR. WE'VE ADDED, WE'VE ADJUSTED THE TIMING OF THE ADDITIONAL WIDENING OF STATE HIGHWAY 174.

THAT IS THE SCHEMATIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL AS WELL AS THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS.

THAT'S FROM WICKER HILL TO THE CITY LIMITS. THAT'S THE NEXT PHASE OF THE PROJECT.

AND THEN SO THAT'S ALL THE MAJOR CHANGES ON THE GENERAL FUND SIDE.

ON THE WATER WASTEWATER SIDE. I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THESE. WE'VE MADE CHANGES TO INCREASE WATER LINE REHABS OVER THE WATER LINE AND SEWER LINE REHABS.

BACK TO THE 2,000,003 MILLION. TO HAVE $5 MILLION IN REHABILITATION OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.

WE'VE UPDATED COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PROJECTS.

THIS IS JUST BASED ON KNOWN COST INCREASES. OVER THE ON RECENT PROJECTS WE'VE ADDED THE PLC UPGRADE IN 25.

AND WE REMOVED THE AMI AMR IMPLEMENTATION UNTIL A LATER DATE.

THOSE ARE THE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES FOR 25 ON THE WATER SIDE.

ON THE WASTEWATER SIDE, AGAIN, WE'VE REMOVED THE ARMY PIECE OF THE WASTEWATER SIDE OF FUNDING AND MADE SOME CHANGES AND ADDED SOME PROJECTS ON THE BOTTOM.

THOSE ARE MORE IN THE OUT YEARS. AND THOSE WILL BE INCLUDED IN PRESENTATION LATER TODAY ABOUT THE 26 THROUGH 30 CAPITAL PROGRAM ON THE FOREST SIDE. WE'VE REMOVED THE HIGH POINT EXPANSION PURCHASE.

THAT PROJECT WAS ORIGINALLY GOING TO BE FUNDED WITH CAPITAL BUT BASED ON SOME STAFF DISCUSSIONS, I WAS RECOMMENDED TO FUND THAT WITH CASH. THAT WAS A PROJECT THAT WE PURCHASED TEN ACRES OF PROPERTY, AND THEN WE SUBSEQUENTLY SOLD SEVEN ACRES BACK TO A DEVELOPER.

SO IT MADE SENSE TO CASH FUND RATHER THAN ISSUE THE DEBT.

AND WE'VE ALSO SPREAD OUT SOME OF THE PROJECTS.

ALSBURY IS GOING TO BE HOPEFULLY A. FEDERALLY FUNDED PROJECT.

AND SO TIMING WISE, WE DON'T THINK THAT REALLY KICKING OFF UNTIL 2728.

LAKEWOOD DRIVE EXTENSION, THE SAME THING. AND THEN WE STILL HAVE FUNDING FOR A FUTURE PROJECT ON THE FOUR B SIDE, YOU'LL SEE CHANGES WE'VE ADDED IN 25. WE ADDED THE NATATORIUM INDOOR PLAY STRUCTURE TO BE INCLUDED SO THAT THAT AREA CAN BE REHABBED AND RECONSTRUCTED AS PART OF THE CLOSURE OF THE NATATORIUM. WE'VE ADDED THE RUSSELL FARM BUILDING, HVAC AND FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS IN THIS YEAR 29 TIMEFRAME.

WE'VE MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS, ADDED SOME PROJECTS AND ADJUSTED THE COST BASED ON KNOWN INCREASES.

ON THE TIP YOU'LL SEE NO ADJUSTMENTS. WE PUT IT ON HERE JUST SO YOU CAN SEE THAT THE TIP DIDN'T HAVE ANY ADJUSTMENTS. WE HAVE THE TWO PROJECTS IN 25 WHICH ARE CURRENTLY BEING DESIGNED, BUT NO CHANGES ON THE TIP ITSELF. THIS IS THE TOTAL TOTAL PROPOSED TIP FUND ADJUSTMENT.

SO WE HAVE THE AMENDED 2025 FOR A TOTAL AMOUNT OF APPROXIMATELY $67 MILLION IN TOTAL PROJECTS.

WE ARE SHOWING THE ADOPTED 2024 WATER AND SEWER PROJECTS, AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT HERE IN A LITTLE BIT WITH THE NOTICE OF INTENT.

AS YOU RECALL, WE ARE ISSUING THE DEBT FOR THE 2024 CIP AS PART OF THIS NOTICE TO INTENT.

SO WE'VE ADDED THAT INTO THE COLUMNS AS WELL FOR DISCUSSION LATER TONIGHT.

SO IN TOTAL, HERE'S WHAT OUR FY 25 BOND ISSUANCE PROJECT LIST LOOKS LIKE FOR THE GO BONDS THE CO BONDS YOU'LL SEE WE'VE ADDED THE CO BONDS EQUIPMENT.

THAT'S THE TWO FIRE ENGINES AND INCLUDED EQUIPMENT AS WELL AS THE EIGHT STORM SIRENS.

YOU'LL SEE AGAIN. HERE'S THE WATER AND SEWER BONDS. THAT'S FROM 24 CIP.

THOSE ARE GOING TO BE ISSUED AS PART OF THIS YEAR'S BOND ISSUANCE.

AND THEN OUR FOUR A BONDS FOR 25, THE TWO TIF PROJECTS AND THEN THE FOUR B BONDS.

AND WITH THAT I WILL RECOMMEND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE FIVE YEAR CAPITAL PLAN.

AND I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. AND I ALSO HAVE OTHER STAFF MEMBERS HERE IF YOU HAVE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. ERIC ON THE GOLF POND RENOVATION, WHICH POND IS IT? THE MAIN ONE BEHIND EIGHT. WOULD THEY HAVE TO PUMP THE WATER? ARE THEY GOING TO DREDGE IT? WAIT BETWEEN 4 AND 5.

OKAY. IT'S HOLDING WATER RIGHT NOW. KIND OF. OKAY.

I WAS JUST IF WE HAD TO PUMP THE WATER OUT, MAYBE IF WE END UP.

HOPE NOT. BUT IF WE END UP HAVING A DROUGHT BEFORE THEN, WE BRING IT BACK AND GET IT DONE.

BUT IF IT'S, THAT'S THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE.

WE'LL BE GOING. I KNOW JEN'S GOT A GREAT PRESENTATION WITH JAMES LATER TODAY TO TALK ABOUT THE GOLF COURSE.

AND I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT A LOT OF DIFFERENT IMPROVEMENTS AND LONG TERM PLANS FOR THE GOLF COURSE. ANYBODY ELSE?

[00:40:07]

IS THERE A MOTION ON THIS? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

I HAVE A MOTION BY LARRY AND A SECOND BY ALEXA.

PLEASE VOTE. PASSES UNANIMOUS. THANK YOU. COUNCIL.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THAT BRINGS US TO 7B, CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

[7.B. Consider and take possible action on a resolution of the City Council of the City of Burleson, Texas, directing publication of notice of intentions to issue combination tax and revenue certificates of obligation; and resolving other matters relating to the subject. (Staff Contact: Harlan Jefferson, Deputy City Manager)]

BURLESON, TEXAS. DIRECTING PUBLICATION OF NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE COMBINATION TAX AND REVENUE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION, AND RESOLVING OTHER MATTERS RELATED TO THE SUBJECT.

THE STAFF PRESENTER THIS EVENING IS HARLAN JEFFERSON, DEPUTY CITY MANAGER.

MR. JEFFERSON. THANK YOU, MISS CAMPOS, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

THIS ITEM ACTUALLY IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE CIP AMENDMENT THAT WAS PRESENTED TO YOU BY MR. OSCARSSON. IT REALLY IS THE NEXT STEP IN THE DEBT ISSUANCE PROCESS.

THE PROCESS STARTS WITH APPROVAL/AMENDMENT TO THE CIP.

THE NEXT THING WE DO IS WE PRESENT A REIMBURSEMENT RESOLUTION TO THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL THAT WAS APPROVED THIS FALL, AND IT ALLOWS US TO INITIATE CAPITAL PROJECTS PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE DEBT.

THIS IS THE THIRD MAJOR PROJECT AUTHORIZING THE NOTICE OF INTENT, WHERE YOU SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFY AND ALLOW US TO PROVIDE NOTICES TO THE PUBLIC OF A PLAN OR CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION. THEY WOULD POST THOSE NOTICES AND WAS SCHEDULED TO COME BACK AND ASK YOU TO APPROVE AN ORDINANCE ON AUGUST THE 4TH. AND THEN FINALLY WE'LL RECEIVE THE MONEY ABOUT 30 DAYS.

THE FUNDING PROCEEDS ABOUT 30 DAYS AFTER THAT.

BEFORE I GET INTO THE PRESENTATION, I WANT TO INTRODUCE MARTY HSU, WHO'S IN THE AUDIENCE.

SHE'S WITH OUR SHE'S OUR FINANCIAL ADVISORS WITH HILLTOP SECURITIES.

SO SHE GENERALLY ATTENDS THESE MEETINGS AND SHE'LL BE BACK WHEN WE ACTUALLY ISSUE THE BONDS ON AUGUST THE 4TH.

THIS REPRESENTS A SUMMARY OF THE NOTICE OF INTENT RESOLUTION THAT WE'RE ASKING YOU TO APPROVE.

IT HAS A NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT OF $45,260,000.

MR. OSCARSSON LISTED ALL THE FUNDS THAT WE'RE ASKING TO AUTHORIZE CERTIFICATE OF OBLIGATIONS FOR.

YOU HAVE THE LIST THERE BEFORE YOU. IT ADDS UP TO 45,255,000.

AS THE LAST BULLET POINTS OUT, WE ISSUED A DOLLAR AMOUNT OR ASK FOR THE APPROVAL FOR AMOUNT IN THE NEAREST 5000 THRESHOLD, AND THEN IT HAS TO EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF DEBT ISSUE.

SO WE'RE SCHEDULED TO ACTUALLY APPROVE THE ORDINANCE OR PRESENT IT TO YOU TO ISSUE THE DEBT ON AUGUST THE 4TH.

IT WOULD ALSO INCLUDE AN ORDINANCE TO APPROVE THE GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $8.3 MILLION.

THOSE WERE OBLIGATIONS THAT WERE AUTHORIZED BY THE VOTERS ON MAY 7TH OF 2022.

THIS IS A SLIDE OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

IT WAS REVIEWED WITH YOU A MOMENT AGO. AND YOU SEE, WE'RE ASKING FOR AUTHORIZATION FOR THE PROJECTS IN THE COLUMN FOR 2025.

AND YOU SEE THE 8.3 MILLION REPRESENTING THE GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS, AS WELL AS THE 21.5 REPRESENTING THE BONDS FOR THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT, FOR A TOTAL OF $29.9 MILLION. THIS IS THE FUND BALANCE OF THE DEBT SERVICE FUND. EARLIER IN YOUR CONSENT AGENDA, YOU ACTUALLY APPROVED THE FINANCIAL POLICIES AMENDMENT TO THE FINANCIAL FINANCIAL POLICIES THAT WAS RECOMMENDED BY THE FINANCE COMMITTEE AND PRESENTED TO THE COUNCIL EARLIER IN A PRESENTATION IN A PREVIOUS COUNCIL MEETING.

AND IN THAT POLICY, YOU SET A LIMIT FOR THE FUND BALANCE TO BE AT $1 MILLION.

AND WE'VE BEEN REDUCING THAT NUMBER FROM THE 6.8 MILLION OVER A TWO YEAR PERIOD.

SO BY THE END OF NEXT FISCAL YEAR, WE SHOULD BE CLOSE TO THE MILLION DOLLARS AT 1.1.

AND THEN WE'RE TRYING TO STAY AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THAT NUMBER GOING FORWARD.

THIS REPRESENTS THE CIP FOR THE WATER AND SEWER FUND THAT WAS PRESENTED TO YOU AS WELL.

AND AS THAT WAS ALLUDED TO YOU IN THE PREVIOUS PRESENTATION, IT'S OUR STRATEGY TO USE A REIMBURSEMENT RESOLUTION ONE FISCAL YEAR IN THE FOLLOWING FISCAL YEAR WE'LL COME BACK AND ISSUE THE DEBT.

THIS IS THE ONLY FUND WE DO THAT FOR, AND IT'S PART OF OUR RATE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY TO KEEP THE RATES AS LOW AS POSSIBLE.

SO THOSE PROJECTS TOTAL UP TO THE $9.9 MILLION.

AND THIS IS THE FUND BALANCE CALCULATIONS FOR THE WATER AND SEWER FUND.

AND IT'S NOT A TRUE FUND BALANCE LIKE THE OTHER FUNDS, SINCE IT'S A PROPRIETARY FUND.

[00:45:04]

WE GO THROUGH A CALCULATION AND YOU CAN SEE THE BALANCE REMAIN LEVEL FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

THIS IS THE FOR A CIP PROGRAM. AGAIN, IT TIES BACK TO WHAT WAS PRESENTED TO YOU EARLIER WITH ONE EXCEPTION.

AS YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT THE OFFICE BUILDING, THE $1.1 MILLION NOT ISSUING DEBT FOR THAT.

SO IF YOU REDUCE THAT NUMBER, YOU'LL BE BACK DOWN TO THE $5.4 MILLION THAT WAS LISTED IN THE SUMMARY SLIDE EARLIER.

WE STILL ARE COUNTING ON REVENUE FOR FLOWING INTO THE GENERAL FUND THIS YEAR, SO WE SUSPECT WE'LL COME BACK NEXT MONTH AND ADD IT TO THE LIST OF ITEMS FOR YOUR BUDGET AMENDMENT, SO THEY CAN USE THEIR FUND BALANCE TO ACTUALLY PAY FOR THE OFFICE BUILDING.

AND THIS IS THEIR FUND BALANCE PROJECTION GOING FORWARD AS WELL.

I WANT TO POINT OUT BUDGET WISE WE'RE SHOWING A DECREASE OF 4.4 MILLION.

AND THEN IT GOES TO 5.3 MILLION. AND THAT'S REALLY CONTINGENT UPON US ACTUALLY PAYING OUT CERTAIN INCENTIVES.

SO IF THEY DON'T HIT THEIR THEIR THRESHOLD IN TERMS OF TIMING AND PERFORMANCE, THEN THOSE NUMBERS WILL FLOW OVER TO SUBSEQUENT YEARS AND WE WON'T MAKE THOSE THOSE EXPENDITURES. DOES THAT INCLUDE THE 1.1. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE 1.1 MILLION.

YEAH. AND THIS REPRESENTS THE FOUR B CORPORATION.

AGAIN THE CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY REVIEWED WITH YOU.

THIS IS THEIR FUND BALANCE AS WELL. AS YOU CAN SEE IT MOVING FORWARD.

I WILL POINT OUT FISCAL YEAR 25 WAS AN ESTIMATE.

THAT'S WHAT OUR BUDGET COMES OUT TO BE. AS WE HAD PRESENTED TO YOU WHEN WE DID THE FIVE YEAR FORECAST FOR THE LARGER FUNDS, THERE WAS SOME FUND BALANCE THAT FLOWED INTO THE GULF FUND AS WELL AS THE PARK'S PERFORMANCE FUND, SO THAT A ROLLOVER AND THIS FUND BALANCE FOR 25 IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE ALMOST $1 MILLION HIGHER BECAUSE OF THAT.

SO THOSE NUMBERS WILL POP UP IN OUR FORECAST.

AND THIS IS THE TIP TO FUND THAT WAS PRESENTED.

AND THEN THEIR FUND BALANCE AS WELL. THEY CONTINUE TO HAVE A HEALTHY FUND BALANCE AND SLOWLY INCREASE OVER THE FIVE YEAR HORIZON.

I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT A PARAMETER ORDINANCE.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'VE WE'VE KNOW THAT'S EXISTED FOR A WHILE.

I DON'T THINK THE CITY OF BURLESON EVER USED IT BEFORE.

AND WE'RE BRINGING IT UP BECAUSE OF THE CURRENT ECONOMIC SITUATION AND CLIMATE THAT WE'RE EXPERIENCING AND THE FLUCTUATION IN THE MARKETS THAT WE'VE SEEN.

NORMALLY, WHEN WE ISSUE A DEBT, WE HAVE A STAGNANT DATE, SUCH AS AUGUST 4TH, THAT WE'RE FORECASTING, AND THE MARKET IS PRETTY STABLE. WE KNOW AND AND CAN FORECAST A CERTAIN TYPE OF RATE THAT WE SHOULD RECEIVE AROUND THAT DATE.

AND AS WE GET CLOSER, WE CAN SEE OTHER GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES, OUR SIZE AND BOND RATING, SEE HOW THEY'RE PERFORMING AS WELL.

BUT WHEN YOU HAVE A MARKET THAT'S VOLATILE AND NOT STABLE, THEN IT'S HARD TO FORECAST EXACTLY WHAT THAT RATE IS GOING TO BE.

AND IF WE'RE COUNTING ON A CERTAIN INTEREST RATE AND WHEN WE GET TO THAT DATE, IF IT'S NOT BENEFICIAL TO US, TO US, THEN YOU'RE EITHER GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION TO ACCEPT THE INTEREST RATE THAT'S NOT BENEFICIAL, OR YOU HAVE TO CANCEL THAT AND DEFER IT TO ANOTHER DATE, WHICH SPENDS MORE TIME AND ENERGY AND, AND AND CREATES A LITTLE BIT OF UNCERTAINTY AROUND OUR DEBT INSTRUMENTS.

SO WHEN YOU'RE IN UNCERTAIN ECONOMIC TIMES, ONE OF THE THINGS YOU CAN DO IS USE A PARAMETERS ORDINANCE THAT SET CERTAIN PARAMETERS IN WHICH YOU ISSUE DEBT OR YOU WON'T WON'T PROCEED IF THE CONDITIONS AREN'T MET. AND YOU'VE SEEN THESE ORDINANCES USED DURING TIMES LIKE THE GREAT.

ACTUALLY, THE PANDEMIC RECENTLY, THE GREAT RECESSION WAS ANOTHER TIME AROUND 911.

SO IN THOSE KIND OF TIMES, THEN, YOU KNOW, THE TYPE OF UNCERTAINTY WE HAVE IN THE MARKET NOW IS WHEN THESE ARE BE CONSIDERED.

SO I'LL WALK THROUGH REALLY KIND OF CONDITIONS AGAIN, EXAMPLES AND ALL THAT IN THE NEXT FEW SLIDES, BEGINNING WITH, YOU KNOW, THE, THE ACTUAL EXPLANATION OF WHAT THE ORDINANCE IS.

SO BASICALLY IT GIVES A LEGAL AUTHORIZATION FROM THE COUNCIL OR GOVERNING BODY FOR CERTAIN CONDITIONS IN WHICH BONDS WILL BE SOLD.

SO YOU AUTHORIZE BASICALLY THE ISSUANCE OF THE BONDS, AND YOU GIVE DELEGATION AUTHORITY TO CERTAIN STAFF MEMBERS OF WHEN TO PROCEED WITHIN THOSE PARAMETERS OR RANGES THAT YOU SET FOR THEM. SOMETIMES IT'S CALLED A DELEGATION ORDINANCE BECAUSE OF THAT.

KEY ELEMENTS INCLUDE IN TERMS OF PARAMETERS IS BASICALLY YOU START WITH THE PURPOSE AND AND GENERAL TERMS OF THE BONDS.

[00:50:02]

YOU SET THE MAXIMUM PRINCIPLE IN WHICH YOU WOULD SELL BONDS, FOR WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER.

IN TERMS OF THE $45.2 MILLION, YOU SET THE INTEREST RATE PARAMETERS THAT YOU WANT, NO MORE THAN A CERTAIN AMOUNT.

YOU SET THE TERM THAT YOU WANT, WHICH GENERALLY USE A 20 YEAR BONDS, OR YOU CAN USE ANOTHER NUMBER.

AND THEN HOW LONG OF A TIME YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY SELL THE BONDS IS LISTED IN THE ORDINANCE AS WELL.

AND YOU DELEGATE THAT THAT THAT AUTHORITY TO THE CITY MANAGER, FINANCE DIRECTOR.

AND TYPICALLY WE USE THE CITY MANAGER AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.

NOW, THE LEGAL AUTHORITY COMES FROM THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE, SECTION 1207.007.

IT APPLIES TO BOTH NEW MONEY DEALS AS WELL AS REFUNDING OPPORTUNITIES.

AND YOU BASICALLY CAN DELEGATE THE AUTHORITY UP TO A ONE YEAR PERIOD, WHICH ISN'T SOMETHING WE WOULD RECOMMEND THAT'S LONGER THAN WE WOULD NEED OR INTERESTED IN. SO WHY DO YOU USE THE PARAMETERS ORDINANCE AGAIN, WHEN THERE'S INSTABILITY IN THE MARKET.

SO IT ALLOWS YOU TO SELL WHEN IT'S MOST FAVORABLE TO YOU.

AND IT LEADS TO EFFICIENCY. SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE MULTIPLE MEETINGS TO SELL BONDS OR SHOW SOME TYPE OF UNCERTAINTY BY CANCELING A BOND SALE.

THE GOVERNMENT BODY STILL HAS CONTROL OVER THE THE BOND SALE BY SETTING THE ACTUAL PARAMETERS AND BOUNDARIES IN WHICH THEY WOULD BE SOLD.

AND THEN YOU BASICALLY DELEGATING AUTHORITY TO TO THE CITY MANAGER AND BOND COUNSEL, AS WELL AS FINANCIAL ADVISORS THAT WOULD COUNSEL THE MANAGER AT THAT TIME. SO EXAMPLES I HAVE HERE IS BASICALLY YOU PASS A PARAMETERS ORDINANCE, YOU CAN SAY UP TO $10 MILLION NOT TO EXCEED 5% INTEREST, 20 YEAR TERMS. AND YOU CAN THE SALE HAS TO OCCUR WITHIN 180 DAYS.

AND THEN THE WHAT WOULD OCCUR IS THE CITY MANAGER, ONCE THEY CAN MEET THOSE PARAMETERS AND THINK THAT'S THE BEST DEAL THE CITY CAN GET, WOULD ACTUALLY AUTHORIZE THE SALE OF THE BONDS.

AND THEN WE WOULD REPORT BACK TO THE COUNCIL REPORT OUT IN TERMS OF THE RESULTS.

SO BASICALLY WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO USE THEM? BASICALLY, A PARAMETER ORDINANCE PROVIDES FLEXIBILITY WITHOUT SACRIFICING OVERSIGHT IN TERMS OF THE SUMMARY, IT'S USEFUL FOR BOTH NEW MONEY AS WELL AS REFUNDING, AND EMPOWERS THE CITY TO STRATEGICALLY RESPOND TO A DYNAMIC BOND.

MARKETS. AND THIS IS THE BOND OR DEBT ISSUANCE CALENDAR THAT WE PRESENTED TO THE COUNCIL PREVIOUSLY.

WE'RE ON THE JUNE 16TH DATE IN WHICH YOU WOULD ACTUALLY CONSIDER APPROVING THE RESOLUTION OF NOTICE OF INTENT.

FROM HERE, WE'RE SCHEDULED TO REVIEW THE SECOND DRAFT OF THE OFFICIAL THE ACTUAL OFFICIAL STATEMENT THAT WOULD BE RELEASED.

THEN WE WILL HAVE THE NOTICE PUBLISHED ON JUNE 19TH AS WELL AS 26.

AND WE'RE ALSO POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE. HILLTOP SECURITIES WILL THEN AFTER RECEIVING ALL THE COMMENTS FROM THE SECOND NOTICE OF EXCUSE ME OFFICIAL STATEMENT, THEN THEY'RE ACTUALLY CONSOLIDATE ALL THOSE COMMENTS AND THEN DISTRIBUTE THE DOCUMENT TO THE RATING AGENCIES ON JUNE 30TH. WE HAVE A RATING AGENCY CALL THAT WILL BE SCHEDULED SOMEWHERE BETWEEN JULY 7TH AND 11TH, AND BY JULY 25TH, WE'LL ACTUALLY HAVE THE BOND RATING IN HAND.

TO BE PREPARED TO MOVE FORWARD. THE OFFICIAL STATEMENT WILL BE RELEASED TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS ON OUR BONDS BY THE 28TH OF JULY, AND THEN THE BOND SALE IS SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST 4TH, AND BOND PROCEEDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE RECEIVED BY AUGUST 28TH.

I'LL MENTION IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN PURSUING THE PARAMETERS ORDINANCE, AND WHAT WE WOULD DO IS ACTUALLY HAVE YOU WE'RE SCHEDULED TWO ITEMS, ONE TO SELL BONDS ON AUGUST 4TH. AND WE CAN ALSO HAVE THE PARAMETERS ORDINANCE SCHEDULED, TOO.

SO IF THE MARKET DOESN'T MOVE FAVORABLY, WE COULD TAKE ACTION ON THAT.

SO WITH THOSE COMMENTS, I'LL BE HAPPY TO RESPOND TO ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. YEAH.

HARLAN, WHAT'S THE NORMAL TERM FOR A SUMMARY PERIMETER ORDINANCE? IS IT ANNUALLY RENEW IT ANNUALLY, OR IS IT A ONE YEAR ONLY? IT'S A IT'S A ONE TIME ACTION. AND YOU WOULD COME BACK EVERY YEAR WHEN IT'S TIME IF YOU WANT TO CONSIDER IT AGAIN.

AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, YOU PRIMARILY CONSIDER IT WHEN THE MARKET ISN'T STABLE.

SO IT'S NOT ANTICIPATED THAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER A PERIMETER ORDINANCE EVERY YEAR.

QUESTIONS MORE FOR TOMMY. THERE'S NO REASON TO ISSUE ANY BONDS BY THE SEPTEMBER 1ST DEADLINE THAT DIED.

[00:55:03]

NO, SIR. OKAY, GOOD. ANYBODY ELSE? IS THERE A MOTION ON THIS? I HAVE A MOTION BY DAN, A SECOND BY ALEXA.

PLEASE VOTE. PASSES. UNANIMOUS. THE ONLY OTHER QUESTION IS IF THERE'S ANY INTEREST IN CONSIDERING THE PARAMETERS ORDINANCE.

I THINK SO, YES. OKAY. YES. OR IS THAT AN ACTION ITEM? CAN WE VOTE FOR THAT OR DO I JUST. WE'LL COME BACK WITH A SEPARATE ACTION ITEM.

FOR THAT. WE JUST NEED THE DIRECTION. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THAT BRINGS US TO SEVEN C CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH FREESE AND NICHOLS FOR SCHEMATIC DESIGN

[7.C. Consider and take possible action on a Professional Services Agreement with Freese & Nichols, Inc. (FNI) for schematic design phase services in conjunction with Alsbury Boulevard - Phase 3 (from Prairie Grove Lane to CR914) in the amount of $1,645,000 (Project ST2301). (Staff Contact: Travis N. Attanasio, PE, Senior Capital Engineer)]

PHASE SERVICES IN CONJUNCTION WITH ALSBURY BOULEVARD.

PHASE THREE FROM PRAIRIE GROVE LANE TO CROSS TO I WANT TO SAY CROSS TIMBER SO BAD CR 914 IN THE AMOUNT OF AND $45,000. PROJECT STREET 2301. THE STAFF PRESENTER THIS EVENING IS TRAVIS ATTANASIO.

HE'S OUR SENIOR CAPITAL ENGINEER AND OUR FIRST TIME PRESENTING.

I THINK THAT I'VE ANNOUNCED YOU. IT IS. THANK YOU.

MY FOUR YEAR ANNIVERSARY WAS LAST SATURDAY, SO FIRST TIME IN FOUR YEARS.

BUT GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN PHASE SERVICES FOR ALSBURY BOULEVARD PHASE THREE.

THIS MAP SHOWS HOW ALSBURY IS KIND OF GOING ACROSS THE NORTHWEST TOWARDS THE SOUTHWEST OF THE CITY.

PHASE ONE COMPLETED IN 2018. RIGHT NOW UNDER CONSTRUCTION FOR PHASE ONE.

B THERE'S AN ITEM LATER TONIGHT FOR PHASE TWO.

AND THEN THIS IS FOR SALISBURY PHASE THREE. THIS IS AS COUNCIL WAS BRIEFED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO THAT THIS, THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO BE BIG ENOUGH THAT WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO PURSUE FEDERAL FUNDING ON IT. SO THIS IS HOW YOU WOULD PURSUE FEDERAL FUNDING. THERE'S A PROCESS THROUGH TXDOT AND COG. THEY'RE THE ONES THAT CONTROL THE PURSE STRINGS ON THE FEDERAL DOLLARS. SO THERE'S A THERE'S A SPECIFIC PROCESS THAT YOU HAVE TO TO FOLLOW.

THIS IS ABOUT 1.75 MILES OF A FOUR LANE ROADWAY.

IT GOES FROM COUNTY ROAD 914 TO PRAIRIE GROVE LANE WITH A DESIGN SPEED OF 40 MILES AN HOUR.

AND THEN THERE WILL BE A PROPOSED ROUNDABOUT AT COUNTY ROAD 914.

SO BOTH ENDS OF ALSBURY PHASE TWO AND PHASE THREE WOULD HAVE THAT ROUNDABOUT.

THIS WOULD SET UP FOR FUTURE DETENTION OR I'M SORRY, FUTURE DRAINAGE AREAS.

SET IT UP FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS REALLY WHY YOU WANT TO PUT THE ROAD THERE.

YOU WANT TO KIND OF GET THE ROAD BEFORE THE DEVELOPMENT. HOPEFULLY THAT'S HOW INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS.

YOU HAVE THREE SEPARATE, DISTINCT DRAINAGE AREAS.

WE'D HAVE THE ALIGNMENT TRYING TO AVOID EXISTING PONDS OR USE EXISTING PONDS, DEPENDING ON HOW IT WORKS OUT IN THE END THERE.

FREESE AND NICHOLS WAS SELECTED AS THE CONSULTANT.

IT'S THE SAME CONSULTANT AS ALSBURY PHASES ONE AND TWO.

AND THEY PREPARED THE CONCEPTUAL ALIGNMENT FOR PHASE THREE, WHICH WE HAD A PUBLIC MEETING ON LAST YEAR.

JUST KIND OF SHOW THAT CONCEPTUAL ALIGNMENT THAT THAT GIVES THEM SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE OF ALSBURY AND THEY'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE CITY PROCEDURES, AND THEY'RE ALSO VERY FAMILIAR WITH HOW TO, HOW TO WORK WITH FEDERAL FUNDING.

THE THE TASK OF THIS CONTRACT IS TO GET TO SCHEMATIC DESIGN.

THIS ISN'T A FINAL DESIGN. THIS GETS YOU THROUGH SCHEMATIC DESIGN.

YOU GET THROUGH YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE PHASE AND THROUGH TXDOT COORDINATION, WHICH HAS PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT.

THERE'S THERE'S SEVERAL DIFFERENT CATEGORIES IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL PHASE THAT WE GO THROUGH THIS.

SO THIS GETS US TO A POINT WHERE THE PROJECT WOULD BE READY TO GO AHEAD AND GO FORWARD WITH OBTAINING RIGHT OF WAY.

SO ON THAT PREVIOUS SLIDE I SHOWED THIS PSA IS FOR THIS SECTION HERE.

LIKE I SAID IT GOES THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES AND CLEARANCE PLANNING AND PROGRAMING AND PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING SCHEMATIC DESIGN.

YOU CAN'T IF YOU'RE USING FEDERAL DOLLARS, YOU CANNOT GO FORWARD AND PURCHASE RIGHT AWAY UNTIL THIS PART IS CLEARED.

SO ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE IS A BIG PART IS A BIG PORTION OF THIS PROJECT.

LOOKING AT THE TIMELINE, WE'D BE LOOKING AT GOING THROUGH THE NEXT TWO YEARS OR SO DOING THE ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE.

[01:00:06]

IT'S NOT AS AGGRESSIVE AS TIMELINE AS WE'VE SEEN FOR TEXTILE ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE.

I'VE BEEN ON MORE AGGRESSIVE SCHEDULES, BUT THIS ACTUALLY GIVES THEM TIME TO TO LOOK AT THE PROJECT.

ONCE WE GET TO BASICALLY WHERE WE'RE AT, THE CATEGORICAL CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION, WHICH IS WHAT WE HOPE FOR, THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO DO A FULL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT.

WE CAN THEN GET RIGHT AWAY AND GET EASEMENT FOR THAT.

SO ONCE YOU HAVE THAT RIGHT OF WAY, AN EASEMENT IN PLACE, YOU'VE GOT YOUR YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE.

IT'S CONSIDERED SHOVEL READY AT THAT POINT. AND THAT'S WHEN THE FEDERAL DOLLARS CAN KICK IN. SO THE ACTION REQUESTED TONIGHT IS A CONSIDERATION OF THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT FOR SCHEMATIC DESIGN FOR ASBURY BOULEVARD PHASE THREE.

ANY QUESTIONS? IS THERE A MOTION? I'LL MOVE.

HERE. I GOT A MOTION BY DAN. A SECOND BY LARRY.

PLEASE VOTE. PASSES UNANIMOUS. THANK YOU. MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THAT BRINGS US TO SEVEN. D IS TO CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON A CONTRACT WITH KLOOTS CONSTRUCTION,

Consider and take possible action on a contract with Klutz Construction LLC for construction services on the SW Alsbury Boulevard from CR 1020 to CR 920 (ITB 2025-013), with Bid Alternative 1, in the amount of $7,100,389.90, with a project contingency of $710,038.99, for a total amount of $7,810,428.89 (Project ST2202). (Staff Contact: Travis N. Attanasio, PE, Senior Capital Engineer)]

THE STAFF PRESENTER ONCE AGAIN IS TRAVIS ATTANASIO. YOU SAID IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. YES, YOU.

ARE. GOOD EVENING AGAIN. THIS IS THIS ITEM BEFORE YOU IS FOR SOUTHWEST BOULEVARD.

WE CALL THIS AS PHASE TWO OF ALSBERRY THAT GOES FROM THE ROUNDABOUT DOWN TO EXISTING COUNTY ROAD 1020.

SO FROM HULEN STREET, WHICH IS COUNTY ROAD 920 TO COUNTY ROAD 1020.

THE DESIGN FUNDING WAS APPROVED IN IN 2022 AND RIGHT OF WAY.

AN EASEMENT ACQUISITION STARTED ONCE WE HAD THE THE ALIGNMENT SET.

THAT JUST COMPLETED LAST MONTH. WE HAVE ALL THE RIGHT OF WAY AN EASEMENT FOR THAT PROJECT.

NOW, THIS IS CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW FOUR LANE DIVIDED ROADWAY WITH TURN LANES, SIDEWALKS, AND DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS.

AT THE REQUEST OF THE JOHNSON COUNTY SPECIAL UTILITY DISTRICT, A 12 INCH WATER LINE WAS INCLUDED, BUT THEIR STANDARD IS AN EIGHT INCH WATER LINE.

SO WE BID THE PROJECT WITH A BID ALTERNATIVE ONE AS AN EIGHT INCH WATER LINE.

AND IF JASON, IF JC SAID, HAS THE FUNDING, THEY WILL PROVIDE THAT TO THE CITY TO UPSIZE THAT TO A 12 INCH WATER LINE.

THE INVITATIONS TO BID WERE ISSUED IN APRIL 11TH AND THE BIDS WERE OPENED MAY 28TH.

WE HAD A LONG BID PERIOD, WHICH I BELIEVE LED TO MORE SUCCESSFUL BID.

WE HAD EIGHT SUBMISSIONS AND THE BID NUMBERS YOU SEE HERE ARE FOR BID.

ALTERNATE. ONE BID. ALTERNATE. THE BID ALTERNATE WITH THAT 12 INCH LINE IS IN THERE SO WE DON'T HAVE TO COME BACK WITH.

IF JC SAID DECIDES THAT THEY HAVE THAT MONEY, WE'RE ASKING FOR A 10% CONSTRUCTION CONTINGENCY AND THE PROJECT WITH THE CONTINGENCY AND THE RECOMMENDED AWARD DOES COME IN UNDER BUDGETED RESOURCES.

IF THE CONTRACT IS AWARDED, WE'LL ISSUE THE NOTICE TO PROCEED IN 2 TO 3 WEEKS.

THERE'S A CONTRACT TIME OF 382 CALENDAR DAYS.

THAT'S ALWAYS SUBJECT TO WEATHER AND ANY OTHER DELAYS THAT MIGHT HAPPEN.

BUT THE ESTIMATED COMPLETION IS NEXT SUMMER. WE DID SPLIT THIS INTO TWO PHASES TO TRY TO MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT EASIER ON ON THE AREA. PHASE TWO A IS MOSTLY GREENFIELD CONSTRUCTION.

IT'S GOING TO BE FROM THE ROUNDABOUT DOWN TO COUNTY ROAD 1020.

THAT WILL BE COUNTY ROAD 1020 WILL REMAIN OPEN DURING THAT TIME, TIME PHASE, TIME PERIOD.

AND THEN PHASE TWO B IS WHEN COUNTY ROAD 1020 WOULD BE CLOSED AND THERE'S A CONTRACT MAXIMUM OF 90 CALENDAR DAYS BUILT INTO THAT.

THE DETOUR WOULD BE SET UP TO GO TO COUNTY ROAD 1016 AND COME BACK DOWN HULEN TO GET BACK TO ALSBURY.

WE SPLIT IT THAT WAY BECAUSE AS PHASE ONE B IS WRAPPING UP, WE DON'T WANT TO CAUSE TOO MUCH OF A TRAFFIC NIGHTMARE IN THAT AREA.

SO THAT'S WHY WE WENT WITH THE GREENFIELD CONSTRUCTION PHASE FIRST.

[01:05:02]

SO BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS TO TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON CONSIDER.

TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON A CONTRACT WITH CONSTRUCTION FOR CONSTRUCTION PHASE SERVICES ON SOUTHWEST ALSBURY WITH BID ALTERNATE NUMBER ONE AND TOTAL AMOUNT OF $7,810,428.89 AND OPEN FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

QUESTIONS. I'M ON A FIRST NAME BASIS WITH NOT ONLY THIS GENERAL CONTRACTOR, BUT ALL OF HIS MAJOR SUBCONTRACTORS AS WELL, THAT THERE'S NO BETTER GROUP OF PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY TO DO THIS JOB.

SO I WAS TRYING TO GET A RECOMMENDATION FROM YOU.

I FIXED IT. I GOT IT ON MY NOTES BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY BEEN THAT STRONG A RECOMMENDATION.

YEAH, ACTUALLY, I WORKED WITH THESE GUYS ALL THE TIME. I'VE GOT SEVERAL CONTRACTS WITH THEM MYSELF. WE HAVE A HISTORY WHERE WE GOT TIED IN WITH A CONTRACTOR THAT DIDN'T DO THE GREATEST OF JOBS, AND SO I'M GLAD YOU RECOMMEND THESE GUYS.

YEAH. YEAH, THESE THESE GUYS ARE TOP SHELF. BEST YOU GOT.

SO I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONTRACT. I GOT A MOTION BY DAN AND A SECOND BY ADAM.

PLEASE VOTE. PASSES UNANIMOUS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

TRAVIS. THAT BRINGS US TO 7E, CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH PHELPS REAL

[7.E. Consider and take possible action on a development agreement with Phelps Real Estate III, LLC, RPO Properties, L.P., and an associated ETJ development project (Staff Contact: Tony D. McIlwain, Development Services Director)]

ESTATE, RPO PROPERTIES, AND AN ASSOCIATE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT.

THE STAFF PRESENTER THIS EVENING IS TONY MCELWAIN, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR.

TONY.

THANK YOU. BUILD TO RENT OPTIONS, MULTIFAMILY AND AMENITY CENTER.

AND ALSO CALLS OUT A WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.

SO ALL IN ALL, WE'RE LOOKING AT A MAXIMUM DENSITY FOR RESIDENTIAL UNITS IN THE RANGE OF FIVE UNITS PER ACRE FOR THE SITE.

THIS, AGAIN, IS JUST MORE PROJECT SUMMARY DATA BY THE NUMBER OF LOTS THAT ARE BEING CONTEMPLATED AT THIS TIME 40, 50 AND 60 FOOT WIDE LOTS. IN TERMS OF THE LOT FRONTAGE, THE PERCENTAGES THAT ARE PLANNED IN EACH CATEGORY AND THE RANGE IN TERMS OF THE ALLOWABLE RANGE, EXCUSE ME, THAT WE HAVE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT.

AND THEN WE'VE GOT A SIMILAR CHART FOR THE MULTIFAMILY AND BUILD TO RENT.

SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT MULTIFAMILY UP TO A MAXIMUM OF THREE STORIES, 25 UNITS PER ACRE, AND THEN A YIELD OF 384 UNITS AND THEN 264 UNITS ON A BUILD TO RENT SIDE. SO THIS CONCEPT PLAN SHOWS THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN SECTIONS THAT'S PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT, AND IT'S A GENERAL PLAN THAT GIVES YOU SOME ALIGNMENT OF THE ROADWAYS.

AND THE COLOR DESIGNATION GIVES YOU SOME IDEA OF WHERE THE HOUSING TYPES ARE PROPOSED TO BE DEVELOPED, ALONG WITH SOME DETENTION AREAS AND AREAS THAT WILL REMAIN UNDISTURBED.

JUST MORE INFORMATION REGARDING THE AMENITIES SUMMARY.

SO YOU'VE GOT PARK AND TRAIL NODES, PEDESTRIAN TRAILS AND AN AMENITY CENTER TO BE ON A PIECE OF PROPERTY GREATER THAN FIVE ACRES IN SIZE.

SO WHAT IS THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ENTAIL? IT INVOLVES THE SEVERAL THINGS THE DEVELOPER TO REQUEST AT CROSS TIMBER RELEASES A PORTION OF THE PROPERTY OVER 18 ACRES FROM THEIR ETJ. IT CONTEMPLATES THE CITY ACCEPTING THE DEVELOPER'S PETITION TO INCORPORATE THIS PROPERTY WITHIN THE CITY'S ETJ.

[01:10:03]

THE CITY TO CONSENT TO THE CITY CONSENTING TO THE CREATION OF THE MUD.

THE CITY RELEASING THE PROPERTY FROM ITS SEWER CCN AND ASSISTING WITH DECERTIFICATION WITH THE PUC.

AND THEN THE CITY HAVING THE ABILITY TO ENTER INTO A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR FUTURE ANNEXATIONS.

THE CITY HAS THE ABILITY TO REVIEW AND APPROVE WASTEWATER DRAINAGE, DETENTION AND ROAD FACILITY CONSTRUCTION PLANS.

AND THAT WOULD BE VIEWED WITH OUR ENGINEERING TEAM.

PUBLIC ROADS DESIGN TO CITY STANDARDS AND OWNED BY THE MUD.

AND THE CITY HAS NO OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE POLICE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES OR ANY OTHER SERVICES AT THIS TIME.

THE PROPERTY REMAINS OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS.

BASED ON INFORMATION WE'VE BEEN PROVIDED IN CONVERSATIONS WITH THE APPLICANT, THE DEVELOPER STAFF IS IN SUPPORT OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

RECOMMENDS THAT THE COUNCIL APPROVES AND ENTER INTO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

AND I HAVE MR. BRITTON CHURCH, I BELIEVE IS IN ATTENDANCE OVER MY LEFT SHOULDER TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE AND I'LL ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

ANYBODY? IS THERE A MOTION? YES. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ENTER INTO THE AGREEMENT.

SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION, A SECOND BY FIELD. PLEASE VOTE.

PASSES UNANIMOUS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, TONY.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THAT BRINGS US TO SECTION EIGHT, REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS.

[8.A. Receive a report, hold a discussion and provide staff direction regarding the vision for Hidden Creek Golf Course. (Staff Contact: Jen Basham, Director of Parks and Recreation) ]

EIGHT A IS TO RECEIVE A REPORT, HOLD A DISCUSSION AND PROVIDE STAFF DIRECTION REGARDING THE VISION FOR HIDDEN CREEK GOLF COURSE.

THE STAFF PRESENTER THIS EVENING IS JEN BASHAM, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I'M NOT SOLO THIS EVENING, SO WHEN YOU GUYS START ASKING ALL THE VERY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS.

JAMES ROBERT, OUR GOLF TEAM IS HERE THIS EVENING AND HE WILL ANSWER TO YOUR HEARTS CONTENT.

ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT THE COURSE.

BUT THIS IS A LONG TIME COMING FOR US TO PROVIDE A VISION FOR THE FUTURE OF THE COURSE.

KIND OF DISCUSSING THE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS AS WE'VE TRADITIONALLY DONE THEM AND THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO SET AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

SO I'VE GOT A FEW ROADMAPS HERE, BUT THE COURSE WAS BUILT BACK IN 1997.

IN 2004, THE CITY DID ASSUME MANAGEMENT OF THE COURSE FROM A PRIVATE COMPANY.

IN 2012, WE DID A MAJOR RENOVATION. IT WAS COMPLETED BY JOHN CALLAGHAN TO ADD NEW HOLES, REROUTE THE COURSE FOR BETTER FLOW, AND EXPANDED WATER STORAGE. TOWARDS THE LATE 20 TENS AND THROUGH ABOUT 2021.

MAINTENANCE AT THE COURSE WAS REALLY A DEFERRED STANDPOINT.

IF IT NEEDED TO BE DONE AND HAD TO BE DONE, IT WAS DONE.

BEYOND THAT, IT WAS REALLY LIMITED IN HOW IT WAS DONE.

BUT BEGINNING IN 2021, WE SET A NEW DIRECTION TO ADDRESS A LOT OF THOSE DEFERRED MAINTENANCE AND BEGIN RENOVATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS TO GET THE COURSE TO WHERE IT IS TODAY.

SOME OF THOSE IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDE THIS LIST THAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU.

OUR BUNKER CONVERSION TO THE BETTER BUNKER SYSTEM.

A PUMP HOUSE RENOVATION REPLACING OVER $100,000 OF CART PATH, AND DOING OVER 100 OR $45,000 IN DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS, TURF RESTORATION ON MULTIPLE HOLES, TREE REMOVAL AND LIMB UP NEW CARTS WITH GPS, WHICH WE ADDED LAST YEAR.

OUR CHEMIGATION SYSTEM, WHICH JUST WAS FINALIZED LATE SPRING THIS YEAR.

AND THEN THE AERATION MACHINE YOU SEE THAT IS LISTED THERE.

AS FOR OUR FAIRWAYS OBVIOUSLY WE HAD AN UNFORTUNATE HAPPY ACCIDENT WITH THE THE COURSE, THE PRO SHOP AND RESTAURANT FLOODING THAT ALLOWED US TO DO SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO THE INSIDE OF THE CLUBHOUSE AS WELL AS IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SERVICE COUNTER AND FIXTURES.

WE HAD NEW BEVERAGE CARTS, AND THEN WE WERE ALSO ABLE TO ADD DRAFT BEER AND FOUNTAIN DRINKS, WHICH REALLY HELPED. SO A LITTLE OVER $1.3 MILLION IN INVESTMENT STARTING BACK IN 2021.

BUT LET'S TALK REALLY ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE'RE WINNING AT IS THE NUMBERS.

SO AS YOU CAN ALSO SEE IN CORRELATION, STARTING IN 2021, WE REALLY STARTED TO SEE AN UPTICK IN OUR ROUNDS.

SO A LITTLE UNDER 32,000 ROUNDS AND THEN ALMOST 40,000 IN 2022 44,000 IN 2023.

AND LAST YEAR WE ENDED THE FISCAL YEAR AT OVER 45,000 ROUNDS.

PRIOR TO THAT, IN 2009 WAS OUR RECORD BREAKING YEAR AT 42,000 ROUNDS AND $1.497 MILLION IN REVENUE.

OUR YEAR TO DATE THIS YEAR ALREADY IS AS OF JUNE 8TH, WHICH WE HAD A GREAT WEEKEND THIS WEEKEND, BUT WE WERE AT A LITTLE OVER 31,000 ROUNDS. AND THE OTHER BIG AREA WE'RE BREAKING RECORDS IN IS IN OUR REVENUE.

SO YOU SEE THAT SAYS JANUARY SHOULD SAY 2021, 2022.

[01:15:01]

BUT STARTING IN 2021, YOU HAD THAT 1.5 MILLION.

2022 1.9. 2023 AND 2.1. AND THEN LAST YEAR, WE ENDED IT AT ALMOST $2.25 MILLION.

THAT 2020 TEN THROUGH 20 2020 AVERAGE ANNUAL REVENUE WAS SITTING AT 1.3 MILLION AND THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE WAS 257, AND THE PRO SHOP AT 132 DATE AS OF JUNE 8TH, WE HAVE ALREADY $1.6 MILLION IN REVENUE FOR THIS YEAR.

SO WHAT'S OUR GOAL? OUR GOAL. WE'RE DREAMING BIG.

AND SO OUR SIMPLE WAY OF SAYING IT IS, WE WOULD LIKE TO TRANSITION FROM BEING A BARGAIN GOLF COURSE TO A PREMIER PUBLIC GOLF DESTINATION.

AND SO WHAT WE THINK WE'RE WORKING WITH, WE ARE ALREADY BY DESIGN A CHAMPIONSHIP COURSE.

WE HAVE ARCHITECTURAL PEDIGREE, WE HAVE A STRATEGIC LAYOUT.

WE HAVE A VARIETY AND BALANCE OF HOLES. THE ROUTING IS REALLY GREAT ON THE COURSE.

WE HAVE SOME BEAUTIFUL DISTINCTIVE FEATURES. WE ARE RIGHT OVER THAT 7000 YARD LENGTH MULTIPLE TEE BOXES.

AND THEN WE DO HAVE TOUGH BUT FAIR CONDITIONS.

THE THINGS WE'RE WORKING ON WOULD BE OUR PRISTINE PLAYING SURFACE.

SO FIRM AND FAST FAIRWAYS, CONSISTENT GREENS, WELL MAINTAINED BUNKERS.

WHILE WE DO HAVE GREAT NEW BUNKERS, OUR MAINTENANCE LEVEL ON HOW OFTEN WE CAN GET THOSE TRIMMED UP IS A LITTLE LOWER THAN WE WOULD LIKE.

TOP TIER TURF MANAGEMENT, WHICH INCLUDES THE WAY THAT WE AERATE OVERSEED PEST CONTROL AND THEN THE DRAINAGE ON THOSE, OUR ATTENTION TO DETAIL. SO WITH OUR CURRENT MAINTENANCE STAFF, THEY DO AN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL JOB OUT THERE.

BUT WE DO KNOW THAT WE HAVE LIMITATIONS IN HOW FREQUENTLY WE ARE ABLE TO GET TO ALL OF THE FINE DETAILS AT THE COURSE, CLUBHOUSE AND PRACTICE FACILITIES. SO SOME EXPANSION IN THOSE AREAS THAT WOULD INCLUDE THINGS LIKE LOCKER ROOMS, UPGRADING THE TERRACE RESTAURANT TO FULL SCALE, EXPANDING OUR PRO SHOP.

AND THEN OF COURSE, THE EVENT SPACE IS ONE OF OUR BIGGEST LIMITATIONS ON THE SITE.

TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION. ONE OF THE THINGS WE ALREADY HAVE IS OUR GPS ON OUR CARTS THAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO, AND ONE OF THE ITEMS WILL BE DISCUSSING THIS EVENING ARE AUTONOMOUS MOWERS.

THE OTHER AND LAST ITEM, WHICH GOES WITH THOSE CLUBHOUSE AND PRACTICE FACILITIES, WOULD BE OUR ABILITY TO HOST LARGER SCALE TOURNAMENTS, ACCOMMODATIONS, SCORING TENTS, OUR RESTROOMS, AND THEN OUR PARKING AND HOSPITALITY CAPABILITIES.

SO HOW DO PEOPLE PICK WHERE THEY PLAY GOLF? THERE ARE SEVEN FACTORS, BUT I PUT IT IN SIX BULLET POINTS ON HERE.

SO LOCATION OBVIOUSLY WE'RE NOT CHANGING WHERE THE COURSE IS LOCATED, BUT IT IS PRIMARILY LOCATED RIGHT OFF OF I-35.

PEOPLE LIKE TO PLAY WITH THEIR FRIENDS PLAY. THEY LIKE TO PLAY ON A COURSE BASED ON HOW IT'S DESIGNED.

THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MANAGING PACE OF PLAY, THAT YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT TAKEN FIVE HOURS WHEN IT SHOULD TAKE THREE AND A HALF.

THE COST OF WHAT THEY'RE GETTING AND THE PERCEIVED VALUE THAT THEY RECEIVE FOR THAT. AND THEN THE BIG THING THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE TALKING A LOT ABOUT THIS EVENING IS OUR TURF QUALITY. SO WE'VE COMPARED OURSELVES TO SOME OTHER MUNICIPAL COURSES.

AND ONE OF THE BIG THINGS YOU'LL SEE ON HERE IS THAT RANGE IN THEIR PEAT GREEN FEE WITH CART.

SO YOU'RE SEEING BETWEEN 70 AND $87 FOR THAT PEAT GREEN FEE.

AND THAT'S TODAY. WE'RE HOPING WITH THE IMPROVEMENTS WE'RE INTRODUCING THIS EVENING TO HIT $75 BY 2030.

AND THESE ARE TWO OF THE COURSES THAT WE SHOWED ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE.

SO TIERRA VERDE WHAT MAKES IT SO GREAT. AS YOU CAN SEE IT'S REALLY THEIR TURF CONDITIONS IS THE BIGGEST THING.

RATED IN EXCELLENT CONDITION CHALLENGING GREENS 18 HOLE COURSE.

THEY HAVE A STATE OF THE ART LEARNING CENTER A THREE HOLE PRACTICE COURSE AND THEY HAVE A SHORT GAME AREA, WATERS CREEK. THE COURSE YOU SEE ON THE RIGHT IS PRAISED FOR ITS EXCELLENT GREENS.

IT HAS CHALLENGING LAYOUTS. IT HAS MULTIPLE DIFFERENT HOLE OPTIONS.

EXPANSIVE PRACTICE FACILITIES, SHORT GAME AND CLUB FITTING AREAS.

AND THEN THIS ONE SPECIFICALLY HAS A REALLY NOTABLE RESTAURANT AND PRO SHOP AMENITIES.

SO LET'S COMPARE. WHEN YOU LOOK AT US AGAINST WATERS CREEK OR TIERRA VERDE, TOTAL HOLES, WE'RE RIGHT THERE WITH TIERRA VERDE WITH 18 HOLES A LITTLE LOWER THAN WATERS CREEK. WE'RE ALL CHAMPIONED BY DESIGN. BUT WATERS CREEK IS MANAGED AT A MUCH HIGHER LEVEL.

THEY HAVE THOSE SHORT GAME OPTIONS AS WELL AS BEGINNER FRIENDLY TIERRA VERDE.

THE BIG THING AS YOU'LL SEE ON THAT UNIQUE ASPECTS, THEY HAVE AN AUDUBON SIGNATURE SANCTUARY.

AND THEN IF YOU IF YOU PUT US INTO A CHATGPT OR ANYTHING, THEY'LL SAY, WELL, YOU KNOW, PRIOR PRACTICE FACILITIES WERE ADEQUATE.

OUR AMENITIES, WE HAVE A RESTAURANT, ALTHOUGH LIMITED IN CAPABILITY IN OUR PRO SHOP IS MUCH SMALLER.

AND THEN OUR BIG FOCUS, WHICH HAS BEEN THE FOCUS OF THE COURSE FOR YEARS, IS TO BE AFFORDABLE AND TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE SERVING OUR COMMUNITY REALLY WELL.

SO WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS TO TAKE? NEXT STEPS TO GET US FROM THAT BARGAIN COURSE TO A PREMIER COURSE? THE FIRST TWO THINGS, AND THESE ARE IT'S A ROADMAP BUT IT'S NOT LINEAR.

SO A LOT OF THESE THINGS WE'RE LOOKING AT PARALLEL.

WE'RE LOOKING AT ALL OF THEM SIMULTANEOUSLY. SO THE FIRST TWO ITEMS WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT IS ADJUSTING THAT STAFF STAFFING MODEL TO INCREASE THE COURSE QUALITY,

[01:20:01]

AS WELL AS ADDRESSING CRITICAL NEEDS FOR COURSE IMPROVEMENTS.

SO THIS IS OUR CURRENT FLEET MODEL. YOU'LL SEE WE HAVE THREE GREENS MOWERS TWO FAIRWAY MOWERS TWO TRACTORS.

THEY HAVE VARIOUS USES. OUR ZERO TURNS FOR STANDARD DUTY MOWERS A GATOR AND A SAND PRO.

AND THIS IS OUR CURRENT MAINTENANCE STAFFING MODEL. SO THIS ISN'T ALL THE STAFF OUT AT HIDDEN CREEK, BUT THIS IS CURRENTLY HOW THEY ROLL UP UNDER THE GM.

SO WE HAVE A PRO SHOP MANAGER WHO MANAGES THE PART TIME GOLF SHOP ATTENDANT, A FLOATING ASSISTANT, AND THEN OUR CART BARN SUPERVISOR WHO HAS BETWEEN 2 AND 5 ATTENDANTS DEPENDING ON THE TIME OF YEAR.

WE ALSO HAVE OUR GROUND SUPERINTENDENT, WHO HAS A CREW LEADER, FIVE GROUNDSKEEPERS AND A SEASONAL GROUNDSKEEPER IN THE SUMMER.

THIS STRUCTURE LEAVES US AT THAT MID-LEVEL PERFORMANCE, BUT IT ALLOWS US BASIC UPKEEP, AND THIS IS HOW WE'RE PROPOSING THAT SHIFT.

SO THE BIG THING YOU'LL SEE IS OUR CART BARN SUPERVISOR WOULD SHIFT TO A FULL TIME MECHANIC.

SLASH CART BARN SUPERVISOR. THE COURSE BACK IN 2020 AND PRIOR TO 2020, HAD A CENTRALIZED MECHANIC THAT FOCUSED STRICTLY ON THE FLEET OUT AT THE GOLF COURSE. WE CURRENTLY PAY A HIGHER PERCENTAGE INTO THE ESF FOR 75% OF ONE OF THE FLEET MECHANICS OUT AT CENTRALIZED FLEET FOR THE REST OF THE CITY AND THE ORGANIZATION.

WE'RE PROPOSING COMBINING THOSE TWO AND STILL ALLOWING FOR THAT HEADCOUNT TO REMAIN THE SAME OVER IN FLEET, BUT ALLOW US SPECIALIZED TECHNOLOGY OUT ON OURS.

AND SO OUR CURRENT CART BARN SUPERVISOR IS SUPERVISORS DOING A PHENOMENAL JOB, AND WE ANTICIPATE HIM BEING ABLE TO DO THAT.

WE WOULD ALSO PROPOSE THAT OUR NEW FLEET THAT WE DID FOR CARTS REQUIRE SUBSTANTIALLY LESS MAINTENANCE.

SO WE KNOW THAT HE WOULD BE ABLE TO MANAGE BOTH OF THOSE THINGS.

THAT IS PROPOSED IN OUR 2026 BASE BUDGET. THE OTHER REQUEST WOULD BE TO INCREASE OUR SEASONAL NUMBER OF GROUND KEEPERS DURING PEAK SEASON.

SO AS YOU SAW IN THE PREVIOUS SLIDE, WE HAVE ONE.

WE'RE WE'RE PROPOSING A SHIFT TO FOUR. AND THEN WE'RE PROPOSING SHIFTING OR ADDING AN IRRIGATION SPECIALIST.

AND SO THAT ENHANCED MAINTENANCE WOULD LOOK LIKE 133 ADDITIONAL HOURS BEING PROPOSED, MAINTENANCE ON THE COURSE.

AND YOU CAN SEE HOW THOSE ARE BROKEN UP ACROSS DIFFERENT AREAS.

NOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT THIS YEAR AND WE DIDN'T THINK WE WERE QUITE READY YET, BUT AFTER A FEW DEMOS AND SOME TALKING TO SOME OTHER COURSES THAT HAVE INTEGRATED THESE SYSTEMS. ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE LOOKING AT IS THE UTILIZATION OF AUTONOMOUS MOWERS TO REPLACE SOME OF OUR EXISTING FLEET.

SO THE PROPOSAL THIS EVENING IS TO DO 13 ADDITIONAL MOWERS.

THOSE MOWERS WOULD HAVE A FIVE YEAR EXPECTED LIFESPAN, AND THE TOTAL PROJECTED COST OF THAT INTEGRATION IS A LITTLE UNDER 400,000.

NOW WE'VE GOT SOME DIFFERENTIAL THAT WE WOULD BE REPLACING OUR MOWER WHICH IS SCHEDULED FOR REPLACEMENT IN 27.

OUR MOWER THAT'S SCHEDULED IN 2028. AND THEN OUR FAIRWAY MOWER, WHICH IS SCHEDULED FOR REPLACEMENT IN 29 WITH THAT TOTAL REDUCTION OF ABOUT $280,000, WOULD BE ABSORBED FROM THAT. AND THEN WE ALSO CURRENTLY HAVE A VACANCY IN OUR GROUNDSKEEPING POSITION.

WE BELIEVE WE'D BE ABLE TO HOLD THAT WITH AN ADDITIONAL SAVINGS OF $79,000.

AND WE BELIEVE THAT WE COULD REALIZE THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT WITHIN ONE YEAR.

SO IF WE WERE TO USE THE INTEGRATION OF THESE AUTONOMOUS MOWERS, YOU SEE THAT WE WOULD STILL NEED THAT ADDITIONAL 105 HOURS OF OUR PROPOSED MODEL WITH THOSE SEASONAL MAINTENANCE WORKER AND THE IRRIGATION SPECIALIST, BUT WE WOULD SAVE AN ADDITIONAL 56 HOURS THROUGH THE INTEGRATION OF THESE MOWERS AND WOULD KEEP OUR HEAD COUNT AT 8.09 FTE PLUS THAT SUPERINTENDENT.

ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE I MOVE ON TO OTHER ITEMS? OKAY. SO THE NEXT ITEM WE WOULD LOVE TO CONSIDER IS ADDITIONAL AMENITIES TO ENHANCE THE GUEST EXPERIENCE.

SO IN OUR PROPOSAL THAT YOU'LL SEE, I BELIEVE NEXT WEEK FOR SUPPLEMENTALS WE HAVE OUR FY 26 PROPOSALS.

COMPLETE TURF RESTORATION IS ONE THAT WE'RE NOT QUITE SURE WE CAN GET TO.

GREEN SURROUND IRRIGATION, DRAINAGE BASIN REPAIRS, A GREENS AREA, FIRE AND AMENITIES PACKAGE WHICH INCLUDES THINGS LIKE IN-GROUND TRASH CANS AND NEW SIGNAGE THROUGHOUT THE COURSE, AND NEW BALL WASHERS, A SOD CUTTER.

AND THEN IN 27 WE HAVE ADDITION OF CHEMICALS AND FERTILIZERS, MOSTLY BULK FERTILIZER AND THE ADDITIONAL PRE-EMERGENT APPLICATIONS.

WE ALSO HAVE AN OVERSEEDING PROGRAM EXPANSION, AND WE WOULD PAINT OUR FAIRWAYS IN THE WINTER.

AND THEN OUR BIG THING IN 28 WOULD BE ACTUALLY A CAPITAL ITEM.

IT WOULDN'T BE A SUPPLEMENTAL, WHICH WOULD BE THE COMPLETE CART PATH REPLACEMENT.

THAT'S A PLACEHOLDER NUMBER. WE DON'T HAVE THE TOTAL, BUT WE'RE ANTICIPATING ABOUT $2 MILLION THERE.

[01:25:03]

AND THEN IN 29 YOU'RE LOOKING AT TREE REMOVAL ON THREE AND 12, AS WELL AS THE GREENS ON 13 AND THE 14 AND 16 GREEN AND THEN DRAINAGE WORK AND FAIRWAY BASINS IN 29.

AND THEN IN 2030, YOU'RE SEEING THAT WE WOULD DO ADDITIONAL ANNUAL MAINTENANCE ON OUR TREES, AS WELL AS OUR BIG PROJECT THAT WE KNOW NEEDS TO BE DONE.

AND THAT'S DRAINAGE WORK ON HOLE 16. SO THE BIG THING THAT WE BELIEVE WOULD BE THE WIN FROM THIS BY MAKING THESE ADJUSTMENTS WOULD BE OUR COURSE QUALITY.

WE BELIEVE THAT THAT INTEGRATION WILL ALLOW FOR OUR ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE.

WE'LL BE ABLE TO TAKE ON ALL LAKES, TREES AND CART PATHS WEEKLY, AS WELL AS AN ADDITIONAL MOW OF ALL NON GREEN SURFACES COMPLETED AN ADDITIONAL TIME PER WEEK. AND ANOTHER THING THAT WE WILL ALSO BE LOOKING AT, WHICH DOESN'T HAVE ANY IMPACT FROM OUR STAFFING LEVELS, WE JUST SHOWED WOULD JUST BE TO EXTEND THE HOURS IN OUR PRO SHOP AND RESTAURANT.

ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES BEYOND THE ITEMS JUST CONSIDERED WOULD BE THE EXPANSION OF THE RESTAURANT TO FULL SERVICE, A HALFWAY HOUSE OR MID-COURSE CONCESSIONS, WHETHER THAT BE SOME TYPE OF PERMANENT FOOD TRUCK OR A ACTUAL PERMANENT STRUCTURE, A PLAYER DEVELOPMENT OR LEARNING CENTER, THE ADDITION AND THE ADDITION OF A SHORT PAR THREE COURSE.

AND SO WHILE WE'RE LOOKING AT ALL OF THAT AND ONBOARDING IT OVER UPCOMING YEARS.

WE ALSO KNOW THAT WE WILL BE ADJUSTING OUR FEES AT THE SAME TIME.

ONE OF THE BIG WAYS WE'D LIKE TO IMPLEMENT IS DYNAMIC PRICING.

SO THINK OF DYNAMIC PRICING IS BASICALLY TAKING THOSE HISTORICAL TRENDS TO IMPLEMENT OUR PRICING CHANGES BASED ON DEMAND.

SO ESSENTIALLY THE THE GRAPHIC THAT YOU SEE THERE SHOWS THE EARLIER YOU BOOK, THE BETTER PRICING YOU GET.

THE LATER YOU BOOK, THE HIGHER PRICING YOU GET.

IT'S BIGGER THAN JUST TIME SENSITIVE. BUT THERE ARE ALSO JUST OTHER FACTORS WHERE WE KNOW MAYBE WEATHER COULD IMPACT IT.

WE WOULD BE ABLE TO ADJUST OUR PRICING SO THAT WE ARE DYNAMIC AND HOW WE'RE PROPOSING THOSE FEES AND OUR FUTURE REVENUE PROJECTIONS.

SO FISCAL YEAR 24, THAT'S WHERE WE ENDED UP. IT SHOWED ON AN EARLIER SLIDE RIGHT OVER 45,000 ROUNDS WITH A RIGHT UNDER $50 AS OUR TOTAL REVENUE PER ROUND ON AVERAGE, AND ENDING THAT YEAR AT 2.25 MILLION ISH.

AND WE'RE ANTICIPATING THAT FUTURE REVENUE AT THAT SAME AMOUNT OF ROUNDS, AT DIFFERENT REVENUE.

IF WE WERE TO BUMP THAT UP TO $55 PER ROUND. YEAR ONE, WE WOULD HIT 2.475 AT 60 PER ROUND.

WE'D HIT 2.7 AT 65, WE'D HIT 2.9, AND AT 70 WE'D HIT 3.1 MILLION.

ANY QUESTIONS? JIM, LET ME ASK YOU A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

A STARTER AND A MARSHAL'S TO KEEP THE COURSE BEING PLAYED LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO.

I DON'T SEE ANYTHING FOR A STARTER. AND I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I SEE ON GOOD COURSES THAT ARE ARE IMPORTANT.

MAYBE NOT HERE. MAYBE YOU JUST DO IT BY THE MICROPHONE, WHICH I, WHICH I SEE.

BUT I DON'T SEE THAT ANYWHERE. MAYBE MAYBE IT'S NECESSARY.

MAYBE IT'S NOT. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT.

HANDS DOWN, I'D LIKE TO KEEP IT AS LOW AS POSSIBLE JUST BECAUSE I PLAYED A COURSE, AND THE OTHER PART OF TOWN NOT TOO LONG AGO.

HAD TO FOR A TOURNAMENT, AND THIS IS ALREADY HANDS DOWN COMPARED TO THE OTHER ONE.

NOT EVEN CLOSE. AND I MEAN, GOOD. THE OTHER ONE WAS I ASKED FOR MONEY BACK.

THAT'S HOW BAD IT WAS. SO I REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE DOING, BUT I THINK THE MORE PEOPLE YOU HAVE IN CHARGE RUNNING THE SITUATION, MAYBE SAYING HIDDEN CREEK WITH A SHIRT OR SOMETHING LIKE A STARTER, SOMEBODY ENFORCE THE RULES BECAUSE YOU DO HAVE SOME REALLY ARROGANT GOLFERS THAT DON'T ABIDE BY THE RULES ON THE COURSE, AND THERE'S NOBODY THERE TO MONITOR THEM OR GET THEM OFF OR, YOU KNOW, MAKE THEM OBEY THE RULES. SO I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT IMPLEMENTED A LITTLE BIT ON YOUR BUDGET.

OKAY. THANKS. DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO ANYBODY ELSE? RIGHT NOW WE DO HAVE VOLUNTEER STARTERS AND MARSHALS.

HOWEVER, I'M A HUGE PROPONENT OF PAID STARS AND I THINK YOU GET A LOT MORE OUT OF IT, SO I'M HAPPY TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

ALL RIGHT. OKAY. JAN. THANK YOU. GO AHEAD. YOU GOT SOMETHING? NO. GO AHEAD. NO, I WAS JUST GOING TO COMPLIMENT.

YEAH. GO AHEAD. I JUST WANTED TO COMPLIMENT JAMES AND JEN ON TURNING THIS THING AROUND.

YOU KNOW, WHEN WE WANTED TO PUT, LIKE, I THINK IT WAS $600,000 IN IT TO GET IT ALL CLEANED UP.

WE HAD TO DO SOMETHING, BUT WE DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS GOING TO TAKE IT TO THIS LEVEL. SO I'M REALLY PROUD OF YOU GUYS.

[01:30:01]

YEAH, I'M GOING TO AGREE WITH THE MAYOR. I MEAN, IT'S A GREAT COURSE.

AND SO JUST JUST GOING THROUGH THIS ON THE SUPPLEMENTALS, THE THE TURF RESTORATION, THAT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT THE ENTIRE COURSE.

IS THAT JUST LIKE A COUPLE OF HOLES TO REDO A COUPLE HOLES AND THEN JUST KIND OF PATCH THINGS TOGETHER.

THERE ARE A FEW HOLES THAT DON'T NEED MUCH BUT ARE A PART OF THAT.

AND THEN NUMBER TEN WOULD TAKE THE BULK OF THAT.

YEAH. OKAY. AND THEN WHAT ABOUT THE I KNOW THAT'S A HIGH DOLLAR ITEM, BUT BUT THE THE IRRIGATION AROUND THE GREENS AND THE DRAINAGE BASIN.

SO THE IRRIGATION AROUND THE GREENS, THERE'S TWO GREEN COMPLEXES THAT DON'T HAVE GREAT IRRIGATION.

NUMBER THREE AND NUMBER 12. OKAY. AND IT'S PRIMARILY IN ONE DIRECTION AND NOT COMING BACK.

SO JUST BETTER COVERAGE. DRAINAGE BASINS ARE THROUGH THE COURSE.

THEY JUST NEED SOME TLC. RIGHT. OKAY. I MEAN, THOSE AREN'T TWO HIGH DOLLAR ITEMS, SO, I MEAN, I WOULD BE IN SUPPORT OF THAT, BUT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE CART PATH REPLACEMENT BECAUSE THEY SEEM TO BE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE.

I WOULD BE MORE FOR TEE BOX REPLACEMENT BECAUSE THEY SEEM TO BE UNEVEN AND SOME OF THEM ARE LIKE CONCRETE.

BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE THINKS ABOUT THAT. ABOUT THE TEE BOXES.

BUT THEN I DON'T KNOW IF I'M SOLD ON THE ROBOTS YET.

ON THE MOWERS. BUT IF YOU HAD ONE THAT DID THAT, PICK THE BALLS UP ON THE RANGE.

I'VE SEEN THOSE AS WELL. I DON'T KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS ON.

SO IT'S A LITTLE TOUGH ON OUR RANGE. WE LOOKED AT IT.

I WASN'T SOLD ON THE MOWERS UNTIL I SAW THEM ON THE NEW GPS TECHNOLOGY AND THE ABILITY TO DO STRAIGHT LINES.

MOW WHEN WE CAN'T GET A MOWER OUT THERE. THIS LAST WEEK IS.

MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. YEAH, MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

MIDDLE OF THE DAY. WHEN IT'S WET, THEY'RE ONLY 130 POUNDS.

SO, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU GET A WEEK OF RAIN, LIKE WE DID LAST WEEK, I MEAN, WE DIDN'T MOW VERY MUCH AND WE WOULD BE COMPLETELY MOWED OUT EVERY SINGLE DAY.

DO YOU KNOW ANY COURSES AROUND HERE THAT ARE USING THEM IMMEDIATELY AROUND HERE? NO, THERE ARE A FEW THROUGH THE UNITED STATES THAT ARE USING THEM.

OKAY. THE GPS TECHNOLOGY FOR THE STRAIGHT LINES IS ONLY IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE USING IT JUST AROUND THE CLUBHOUSE AND DRIVING RANGE AS KIND OF A TEST. OKAY. WHICH IS KIND OF ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'D BE INTERESTED IN LOOKING AT.

JUST TEST, TEST RUN. I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE ASK ME ABOUT A SECOND BATHROOM OUT THERE.

THEY THINK THE LITTLE HOUSE NEXT TO THE NUMBER THREE TEE BOX IS ONE, BUT IT'S NOT.

BUT THOUGHTS ON ADDING ANY MORE RESTROOM FACILITIES? SO I THINK THAT THERE IS A POTENTIAL BEHIND NUMBER THREE.

GREEN AND MAYBE DOING A HALFWAY HOUSE AT THE SAME TIME WITH IT.

I THINK THERE'S A POTENTIAL IT'S NOT SUPER FAR FROM WHERE THE CURRENT ONE IS, BUT IT MIGHT BE A REALLY GOOD SPOT.

OKAY. AND I KNOW THAT THE CARTS HAVE THE ABILITY TO ORDER FOOD AND THINGS.

IT'S JUST NOT SOMETHING WE'VE TURNED ON. WE ARE STILL WORKING THROUGH LOOKING TO DO IT IN THE KITCHEN TO MAKE THAT THAT WORK.

OKAY. AND AT ONE POINT, I DON'T KNOW, DAN, YOU MAY REMEMBER THAT IT IT WASN'T A FULL SERVICE RESTAURANT, BUT I MEAN, IT WAS A MORE ELABORATE. WELL, IT WAS IT WAS AMONG MY COMMENTS TO SAY THAT THAT RESTAURANT HAS BEEN UNDERUTILIZED FOR FOR QUITE A WHILE.

I BELIEVE I'M CORRECT WHEN I SAY THAT ANDREA ANDERSON BEGAN TO WORK FOR THE CITY AS THE CHEF AT THE TERRACE RESTAURANT, AND SHE MADE A TURKEY BACON PANINI SANDWICH THAT WAS TO DIE FOR.

I ALWAYS LOVED TO GO OUT TO THE RESTAURANT AND HAVE A QUALITY MEAL, NOT JUST A BURGER OR A HOT DOG LIKE YOU CAN GET NOW, I, I THINK WE COULD DO A WHOLE LOT BETTER WITH THE WITH THE RESTAURANT.

I THINK IT'S A IT'S A GREAT LOCATION. IT'S GOT A STUNNING VIEW EVEN AS IT IS.

AND WE HAVE HAD EVENTS OUT THERE BEFORE. WE HAVEN'T I DON'T I HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT ANY EVENTS HAVING TAKEN PLACE AT THE TERRACE RESTAURANT LATELY, BUT SMALL EVENTS, IT'S A GREAT GATHERING PLACE.

THERE COULD BE SOME REVENUE GAIN THERE, BUT MY MAIN REASON FOR SUPPORTING THE THE BUILDING UP OF THE RESTAURANT IS JUST THAT.

IT JUST COMPLETES THE GOLF EXPERIENCE AND JUST RATCHETS YOU UP TO AN EVEN HIGHER LEVEL.

TO HAVE THAT EXTRA AMENITY. AND ANYWAY, GO AHEAD, ADAM, I'VE GOT A COUPLE MORE THINGS TO SAY.

DO WE HAVE ENOUGH WATER OUT THERE IF WE END UP GETTING THE WELL TO DO, YOU KNOW, KEEP THE GRASS REAL GREEN AND EVERYTHING WITH THE NEW.

WELL, YES, I BELIEVE SO. WE'VE GOT ROUGHLY 10 TO 11 MILLION GALLONS OF STORAGE.

WITH THREE WELLS. WE RUN ABOUT A 300,000 GALLON DEFICIT DURING PEAK SEASON.

THIS WOULD CLOSE THAT GAP QUITE A BIT. YEAH. I THINK 22 AND 23 WERE BIG TESTERS BECAUSE THERE WERE NO, NO SUPPLEMENTS. AND THERE WERE LONG STRETCHES WHERE WE WERE ONLY LIMITED WHAT WE COULD DRAW FROM THE WELLS.

RIGHT. AN ADDITIONAL WELL WOULD CLOSE THAT GAP GREATLY.

I TOTALLY SUPPORT THAT. ABSOLUTELY. BUT AND ONE THING I DIDN'T SEE ON HERE WAS THAT ARE WE STILL PLANNING ON REPLACING THE CARTS EVERY THREE YEARS OR FIVE YEARS?

[01:35:07]

I GUESS FIVE YEARS IS EVERY FIVE. OKAY. AND I GUESS THE LAST THING I HAVE IS THE DYNAMIC PRICING IS INTERESTING.

I WAS LOOKING AT IT THE OPPOSITE WAY. CORRECT.

IT WOULD DEPEND ON THE BOOKING WINDOWS, BUT A LOT OF TIMES THOSE EARLY TEE TIMES WOULD BE MORE.

I MEAN, IF YOU'RE BOOKING TWO, THREE, FOUR WEEKS OUT, RIGHT, YOU GET THE CONVENIENCE OF DOING IT VERSUS I JUST WALK ON THE COURSE AND I GOT A SPOT OPEN, BUT NOW I HAVE TO PAY MORE THAN THE PEOPLE THAT BOOKED TO.

I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD PLAY, BUT JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

BUT YEAH, I MEAN IT WOULD. THERE ARE COURSES THAT ARE THAT WAY, BUT THEY'RE ALSO YOU PAY MORE TO GO THE OPPOSITE WAY.

AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY I MEAN I LIKE I LOVE THIS VISION AND EVERYTHING. I'M THINKING JUST TRYING TO LOOK AT IT FROM A4B STANDPOINT.

AND I KNOW WE'RE SO CLOSE TO GETTING TO 100% SELF FUNDED.

I WOULD LIKE TO GET THERE BEFORE WE START GOING CRAZY, BUT I MEAN, IF THIS CAN HELP US GET THERE, THEN I'D BE SUPPORTIVE OF IT. THAT'S ALL I HAD.

DAN, THIS IS SUCH A GREAT CONVERSATION. I'VE BEEN WAITING 18 YEARS TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION.

THIS I HAVE SAID SINCE 2007 THAT THIS GOLF COURSE IS UNDERAPPRECIATED, THAT IT'S A IT'S A TREASURE THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE REALIZE THAT WE HAVE, AND WE CAN DO SO MUCH MORE WITH IT THAN JUST TRYING TO SCRABBLE AROUND AND DO MINIMAL MAINTENANCE JUST TO KEEP IT PLAYABLE.

THIS COURSE IS A IS A BEAUTY. IT'S A TREASURE.

AND AND I'VE ALWAYS SAID THAT ADJUSTING THE GREEN FEES TO A LEVEL MORE APPROPRIATE WITH A COURSE OF THIS QUALITY HAS BEEN SOMETHING WE'VE BEEN NEEDING FOR A LONG TIME. IT'S A IT'S A BETTER COURSE THAN WHAT WE'RE CHARGING FOR.

PEOPLE CALL IT A BARGAIN COURSE, AND I DON'T I DON'T THINK IT'S IN OUR BEST INTEREST TO MAINTAIN A BARGAIN COURSE.

I THINK IT'D BE IN OUR BEST INTEREST TO MAINTAIN A PREMIUM COURSE.

FOR ONE THING, IT'LL PAY FOR ITSELF. AND IN MY OPINION, I THINK IT WILL.

AND I AGREE, I'M WILLING TO GO ALONG WITH THAT.

I'M LIKE, ADAM, I'M ADAM, I'M NOT THAT SURE ABOUT THE DYNAMIC PRICING. I WANT TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT. I THE PRICE GOING UP.

LIKE HE SAYS THE DAY BEFORE WHEN THEY'RE STILL EMPTY SPOTS THAT YOU COULD FILL.

I DON'T KNOW. I THINK PAYING MORE OUT IN FRONT IN ORDER TO SECURE YOUR 8 A.M.

TEE TIME OR WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU WANT, INSTEAD OF WAITING AND HAVING TO PLAY AT 11 BECAUSE IT FILLS UP.

YOU WAITED TOO LONG. YEAH. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I LOVE THE IDEA OF THE ROBOTIC MOWERS.

I THINK THAT'S AN EXCELLENT IDEA. AND I'VE GOT ROBOTIC VACUUM CLEANERS ALL OVER MY HOUSE, AND THEY'RE GREAT.

AND THEY KEEP ME FROM HAVING TO DO IT SO GOOD.

I GUESS THAT'S ABOUT IT. GREAT. PLAYED YESTERDAY.

A BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE, AS I EXPECTED. AND YOU GOT.

Y'ALL GOT A GREAT DEAL GOING. KEEP IT UP. LET'S BUILD IT.

LET'S GO FROM HERE. YESTERDAY, THE THE MOWERS.

WHAT KIND OF WARRANTY DO THEY HAVE? WHAT ARE YOU DEALING WITH ON MAINTENANCE? SO THE MAINTENANCE IS VERY LIMITED. THERE IS WARRANTY.

I'D HAVE TO GET MORE, MORE INFO ON IT. WE LITERALLY JUST JUST DEMOED THEM.

AND SO AS A RUSH TO GET THEM HERE FOR, FOR THIS MEETING.

BUT I WOULD HAVE TO GET BACK TO YOU ON THE WARRANTY, BUT MAINTENANCE IS VERY LIMITED.

CHANGE IN BLADES BASICALLY EVERY THREE, FOUR WEEKS, AND THAT'S IT.

I REMEMBER DRIVING BY THERE AND SEEING NOBODY ON THE GOLF COURSE.

NOW I DRIVE BY AND EVERYBODY'S LINED UP ON THE THE PRACTICE TEES AND THE GREENS AND THERE'S PEOPLE OUT THERE.

IT'S NOT TO THE POINT WHERE THE PACE OF PLAY IS REALLY AFFECTED.

YOU KNOW IT. YOU CAN STILL EXPECT TO PLAY A REASONABLE GAME TIME WISE.

YOU KNOW, IF YOU OVERPOPULATE THE COURSE, WHICH THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN VERY, VERY CAREFUL NOT TO DO, THEN IT CONTRIBUTES TO THAT GOOD GOLF EXPERIENCE.

ABSOLUTELY. I LIKE WALKING NINE HOLES. I'M NOT I'M A HORRIBLE EXAMPLE OF A GOLFER, BUT JUST WALKING THROUGH THAT PLACE IS REALLY PRETTY BACK DOWN THROUGH THERE. SO I'M HAPPY ABOUT THIS.

I WILL SAY OUR STAFF HAS WORKED HARD ON THE THE PACE OF PLAY MANAGEMENT STANDPOINT.

IT IT GETS CHALLENGING WHEN IT'S BUSY AND THERE ARE TIMES THAT IT'S NOT, BUT WE'VE WORKED PRETTY HARD AT IT TO TO MANAGE IT THE BEST WE CAN.

YEAH. YOU'RE YOUR CARTS HAVE THE FEATURE THAT THEY MAINTAIN THE PACE OF PLAY AND ADVISE THE PLAYERS, YOU KNOW, HEY YOU'RE 20 MINUTES BEHIND, YOU KNOW, PICK IT UP A LITTLE BIT AND THAT IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF COURTESY.

AND, YOU KNOW, MOST GOLFERS WILL HONOR IT AND AND TRY TO PICK UP THE PACE A LITTLE BIT.

MAYBE NOT TAKE THREE MULLIGANS ON EVERY TEE BOX, YOU KNOW.

ANYWAY, I THINK THIS IS A GREAT. WHOA. NOW I'M REALLY LOUD.

OKAY. SORRY. I, I REALLY LIKE THIS PRESENTATION.

I LOVE THE THOUGHT OF ELEVATING OUR COURSE AND GIVING OUR PLAYERS MORE.

THEY'LL KNOW WHAT THEY'RE PAYING FOR. AND BACK TO ADAM'S COMMENT ABOUT.

YOU'D LIKE TO SEE SOME OTHER GOLF COURSES THAT ARE USING THAT.

[01:40:04]

I CAN GIVE YOU A LIST OF ABOUT FIVE OF THEM IN DALLAS.

SO BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE DOING. AND I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO GET PEOPLE TO BURLESON IS LET'S GIVE THEM SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING OF VALUE THAT THEY'RE WILLING TO COME HERE AND PLAY AND EAT OUR FOODS AND SHOP OUR SHOPS.

SO I THINK IT'S A GREAT MOVE AND GREAT JOB. SO I THOUGHT WE'D DISCUSS THE THE REPLACEMENT ON THE GOLF COURSE IS A STAGGERED THREE YEAR SETUP, WASN'T IT? DIDN'T WE DO THAT? I THOUGHT WE WAS TRYING TO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS INITIALLY TALKED ABOUT, BUT WE DIDN'T GO THAT DIRECTION JUST BECAUSE OF THE SHAPE OF THE.

IS THAT A POSSIBILITY? INSTEAD OF GETTING HIT ONE TIME EVERY THREE YEARS, YOU MIGHT BE DOING A LITTLE BIT EARLIER.

I MEAN, IF IF YOU WANTED TO GO A LITTLE BIT EARLY ON GOLF, IT'S YOUR CALL.

BUT I'M NOT GOING TO TELL SOMEBODY THAT'S DONE THIS GREAT OF A JOB HOW TO DO THEIR JOB.

SO, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S SOME WAY YOU COULD MAYBE TAKE A LOOK AT NOT GETTING ONE HIT EVERY THREE YEARS AND TRYING TO LEVEL IT OUT MIGHT HELP.

I THINK THERE WERE. OH, SORRY, JAMES. I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THE ONLY THING THAT YOU RUN INTO IS PEOPLE FIGHTING OVER THE NEW GOLF CARTS.

I REMEMBER ONE COMPLAINT WITH SOMEBODY ON THIS COUNCIL THAT DIDN'T LIKE THE FACT THAT THE YOU COULDN'T DRIVE IT OFF THE GOLF CART OFF THE PATH AND STOP YOU FROM DOING THAT.

WELL, HE'S NOT GOING TO GIVE US THE MARSHALL CODE. WASN'T THAT POSSIBLE, PHIL? NO, I KNOW THE PLAN WAS.

THE REASON WHY THEY WERE LOOKING AT EVERY FIVE IS BECAUSE THEY DO HAVE A RESALE VALUE BACK.

THEY WEREN'T ALMOST SCRAPPED LIKE THE OLD GOLF CART.

SO WE WOULD GET MOST OF THAT MONEY. WELL, A BIG CHUNK OF THE MONEY BACK, I THINK.

AND SO OUR COST TO REPLACE THEM WOULDN'T BE THAT MUCH.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN A GOOD DEAL. BUT THEY'RE NICE.

AND I KNOW ANOTHER THING. I FORGOT TO BRING UP THE THE BRIDGE.

THE BRIDGES. THE ONE ON BETWEEN 12 AND 13 IS A LITTLE RICKETY.

I THINK BECAUSE THEY USE TWO BY TWELVES AND MAYBE NEEDED TO DO TWO BY SIXES OR SOMETHING TO BECAUSE THEY'RE CURVING UP.

THE INITIAL DIMENSIONAL LUMBER WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

OKAY. SO IT WAS A WORKAROUND, RIGHT, TO GET IT.

SO PROBABLY SWAP OUT THE BOARDS ONE MORE TIME.

I DON'T KNOW SHORT RUN OTHER THAN THAT. YEAH.

LONG RUN. WE CAN COME UP WITH A COST TO REPLACE IT.

I JUST KNOW WHAT I'M THINKING. I LOVE IT. I LIKE PLAYING IN THE SUNDAY SCRAMBLES.

OTHER THAN BECAUSE OF ALL THE CHEATERS. YOU HAVE TO PLAY AS AN EIGHT SOME NOW, SO IT TAKES SIX HOURS.

BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS. BUT I LOVE, I LOVE PLAYING, THERE'S NOT ANY CHEATERS ANYMORE.

THAT'S RIGHT. NO MORE CHEATERS. SCORE. THE SCORES IRONICALLY HAVE COME DOWN SOME OR, YOU KNOW, GONE UP. I GUESS THEY THEY'RE A LITTLE MORE REASONABLE NOW, BUT OKAY, SO YOU GOT ONE COMMENT.

COUNCIL MEMBER RUSSELL, TO YOUR POINT, AND YOU TALKED ABOUT SELF-SUSTAINING AND WANTING TO CONTINUE TO BUILD TOWARD THIS. ONE OF THE CONVERSATIONS THAT ERIC, JEN AND I HAVE HAD IS THAT WITHOUT THESE INCREMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS, YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO BE LEVELING OFF AROUND 70 TO 75%.

SO I THINK COUNCIL HAS GIVEN US GOOD DIRECTION.

BUT WITHOUT THESE IMPROVEMENTS, YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE PROBABLY ABOUT WHERE WE CAN BE FROM IMPROVING FROM A SELF-SUSTAINING IF WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO GROW, THAT IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO MAKE THESE IMPROVEMENTS.

AND JEN, IF YOU WANT TO ELABORATE ON THAT, NAILED IT.

WE'LL SEE ON THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. WE'LL SEE THE SUPPLEMENTALS ON WEDNESDAY.

RIGHT. YOU WILL. OKAY THEN NO FURTHER COMMENT.

THANK YOU ALL. YOU DID A GREAT JOB. GOOD JOB.

LET'S TAKE A FIVE MINUTE BREAK, PLEASE.

WE'RE READY. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THAT BRINGS US TO 8B, RECEIVE A REPORT, HOLD A DISCUSSION AND PROVIDE STAFF DIRECTION REGARDING THE

[8.B. Receive a report, hold a discussion, and provide staff direction regarding the five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for Fiscal Year 2026-2030. (Staff Contact: Eric Oscarson, Deputy City Manager)]

FIVE YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026 TO 20 TO 2030.

STAFF PRESENTED THIS EVENING IS ERIC OSCARSSON, DEPUTY CITY MANAGER.

AS IS THE THEME FOR MY PRESENTATION THIS EVENING, I WILL TALK ABOUT THE CAPITAL PLAN.

IT'S THE LAST TIME I'M LETTING RANDY GO ON VACATION.

SO I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT CAPITAL PLAN. AND AGAIN, SO TONIGHT, EARLIER TONIGHT, WE ADOPTED THE 25 THROUGH 29 CAPITAL PLAN.

TODAY THIS DISCUSSION IS ABOUT 26 THROUGH 30.

SO WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THE CAPITAL PLAN THAT IS FOR BUDGETED FOR 26 AND THE PLANNING YEARS OF 27 THROUGH 30.

SO THIS IS THE 25 THROUGH 29 CAPITAL PLAN AS ADOPTED THIS EVENING WHEN YOU SHIFTED OVER AND ADD 26 THROUGH 30 ON THERE AND SHIFTED TO 26 THROUGH 30, YOU'LL SEE IN THE OUT YEARS, IN FY 30, WE HAVE SHIFTED OUT CONSTRUCTION OF FIRE STATION FOUR.

SO THE DESIGN OF THAT IS 28 CONSTRUCTION AND 30 WE ADDED CONTINUED ON THAT ADDITIONAL PAVEMENT REHAB.

[01:45:05]

AND WE DO HAVE ONE ADDITION FOR 26 THAT WASN'T ADOPTED EARLIER TODAY. AND THAT'S A $259,000 FOR THE VILLAGE CREEK EXPANSION.

THAT'S AN ADDITION TO THE 1.6 WE HAD IN 25. AND THAT'S JUST DUE TO THE CONSTRUCTION COST.

ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION COSTS FOR THAT PROJECT.

SO SOME ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT CIP.

SO ON MAY 27TH, COUNCIL RECEIVED AN UPDATE BASED ON THE CURRENT ASSUMPTIONS THAT THE INS RATE WOULD NEED TO BE INCREASED TO ABOUT FIVE.

5.4 $0.07 TO FUND THE CURRENT CIP BASED ON SHIFTING CAPITAL PROJECTS, ADJUSTING SOME OF THE PROJECTS, AND THE DRAWDOWN OF THE DEBT SERVICE FUND BALANCE THAT HARLAN TALKED ABOUT EARLIER THIS EVENING.

THE ACTUAL INCREASE TO THE INS RATE TO TO TO FUND THE PROPOSED CIP THAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU IS ACTUALLY ONLY 4.2 $0.02.

SO REDUCTION DOWN AGAIN, THAT'S BASED ON THE CURRENT APPRAISAL PLAN AND CURRENT GROWTH ASSUMPTIONS.

SO IF ANY OF THOSE THINGS CHANGE, THAT NUMBER COULD CHANGE. BUT JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT AS WE WALK THROUGH THIS.

THE SECOND THING TO CONSIDER IS THE IS REALLY THE BIG ONE IS THE JOSHUA ISD UPDATE AND THE CONSIDERATIONS WITH REGARDS TO THAT PROJECT.

SO INCLUDED IN THE PROJECT WAS AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SITE.

AS YOU MAY RECALL, THEY TRIED TO FUND THE SCHOOL THROUGH DIFFERENT ELECTIONS.

IT FAILED TWICE, BUT THEN EVENTUALLY PASSED ON MAY 24TH, MAY 4TH OF 24.

AND THEY HAVE SINCE BEGUN PREPARATION FOR THAT NEW SCHOOL.

CITY STAFF HAS BEEN MEETING WITH THE ISD AND THE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT TEAM MONTHLY TO COORDINATE THIS POTENTIAL PROJECT.

THE LATEST GISD SCHOOL SCHEDULE HAS THIS SCHOOL OPENING IN THE FALL SEMESTER OF 2027.

SO THINK AUGUST 2027, THEY HAVE OFFICIALLY BROKE GROUND.

THEY HAVE STUCK SOME SHOVELS IN THE GROUND AND HAD THE CEREMONY TO BREAK GROUND ON THAT SITE ON THE 15TH. ACTUALLY WAS MEETING WITH SOME OF OUR STAFF TODAY WITH BRECK AND HE ACTUALLY HAS IS DOING A COMPLETE REVIEW OF THE BUILDING DOCUMENTS ALREADY.

SO THE WICKER HILL DRIVE, THAT'S OUR CURRENT CONDITION OVER THERE IS TOO NARROW AND IS ACTUALLY IN PRETTY POOR CONDITION.

WE KNOW THAT THE INCREASED VEHICLE TRAFFIC AND BUS TRAFFIC WILL BE PROBLEMATIC IF WE DON'T DO ANYTHING TO THAT ROAD.

PREVIOUSLY, THE CIP DID INCLUDE THE WICKER BRIDGE PROJECT.

BACK IN 2024, WE ACTUALLY REMOVED THAT PROJECT AND REALLOCATED THE FUNDING TO DO FOR THAT ROAD PROJECT TO ADD TO THE POLICE HEADQUARTER EXPANSION PROJECT AS CURRENTLY SHOWN ON THE CIP IN THE 25 THROUGH 29 AND THE 26 THROUGH 30 THAT I JUST SHOWED YOU.

THE PROJECT IS NOT FUNDED TO DO THE RECONSTRUCTION OF GREEN RIDGE AND WICKER HILL.

AND ALSO THAT, YOU KNOW, JUST A REMINDER THAT THE SCHOOL PROJECT IS UNDERWAY, EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T HAVE THE NEW ROAD BEING CONSTRUCTED.

SO THIS IS JUST AN OVERALL CIRCULATION PLAN. JUST TO SHOW THIS IS THE SECTION OF WICKER HILL THAT RUNS I CALL IT NORTH AND SOUTH ABOVE THE SCHOOL.

THIS IS WHERE THE GREEN RIDGE DRIVE WOULD BE. THIS IS THE ORIENTATION OF THE SCHOOL. THIS RED PATH IS THE PATH FOR PARENTS TO PICK UP AND DROP OFF.

THE CIRCULATION FOR THE BUSSES IS BACK HERE OFF OF WICKER HILL.

THEY'LL BE COMING IN HERE TO DO PICKUP AND DROP OFF.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE PATH FOR PARENTS OUT WILL BE PUSHING THEM TOWARDS GREEN RIDGE, TOWARDS LAKEWOOD, WHEREAS THE BUS TRAFFIC WILL BE USING THE WICKER HILL AND GREEN RIDGE ROUTE.

A TIA HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND IS UNDER REVIEW BY CITY STAFF.

I DO NOTE THAT EVEN THOUGH WE'RE GOING TO REVIEW THE TIA, THERE ARE GOING TO BE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE TXDOT INTERSECTIONS, WHICH WILL REQUIRE TEX DOT REVIEW AS WELL. SOME OF THE BIG THINGS THAT CAME OUT OF THIS ON OUR INITIAL REVIEW IS AT THE CORNER OF GREEN RIDGE AND LAKEWOOD. A TRAFFIC SIGNAL WILL BE WARRANTED.

SO THIS WILL BE A SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION, AND THAT'S BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC FROM THE PARENTS COMING OUT THIS WAY.

INTERSECTION FIVE. THIS IS IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL.

THEY'LL HAVE TO BE A RIGHT TURN AND LEFT TURN LANES ONTO SOUTHBOUND GREEN RIDGE BECAUSE OF THE MAIN ENTRANCE.

AND THEN FOR INTERSECTION THREE, THAT'S THE WICKER HILL 174 INTERSECTION.

INTERSECTIONS IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE REQUIRED. I CAN'T SPEAK TO EXACTLY WHAT THOSE IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE BECAUSE TXDOT IS GOING TO BE REVIEWING THOSE.

AND SO THAT COULD INCLUDE WIDENING THIS TO HAVE MULTIPLE LANES.

DECEL LANE ON 174 TO TURN RIGHT. BUT IMPROVEMENTS OF THIS INTERSECTION WILL BE REQUIRED.

SO OVERALL WITH THIS PROJECT WICKER GREEN RIDGE RECONSTRUCTION, WE WOULD HAVE A TWO LANE CROSS SECTION FOR WICKER HILL.

IT WOULD BE TWO 15 FOOT TRAVEL LANES WITH SOME BUFFER AND POSSIBLE SIDEWALK THAT WOULD REQUIRE RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION.

THE GREENWOOD CROSS SECTION WOULD BE A TWO LANE DIVIDED BECAUSE IT'S A MAJOR COLLECTOR, THIS IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH WHAT OUR FARMS WILL BE BUILDING THROUGH THAT AREA.

[01:50:02]

ESTIMATED PROJECT COSTS, IF WE WERE TO DO A FULL RECONSTRUCTION, IS ESTIMATED AT $560,000 FOR DESIGN.

WE ANTICIPATE ABOUT $640,000 WORTH OF RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION, AND AN ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION COST OF 5.6 MILLION.

ALL OF THESE ROADS, I KNOW THEY LOOK BLACK ON HERE. THEY WOULD BE CONCRETE ROAD SECTIONS AND WE WOULD HAVE DRAINAGE INSTALLATION AS WELL.

SO IN THE INTERIM, PUBLIC WORKS OPERATIONS HAS COME BACK AND SAID IT WOULD COST ABOUT $150,000 TO ADD ADDITIONAL TWO TWO FEET OF PAVEMENT WITH ALONG THE ROADWAYS.

IF YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH THERE, THE ROAD IS VERY, VERY NARROW. YOU PUT A BUS ON THAT ROADWAY AND A CAR TRYING TO PASS IT.

IT GETS VERY, VERY HARD FOR THEM TO MANEUVER.

WE ALSO INTEND TO HAVE REGULAR POTHOLE REPAIR.

WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO A CONTRACTOR. WE'RE WAITING ON ESTIMATED COSTS.

FOR WHAT? A MILL AND OVERLAY AND MINOR WIDENING WOULD BE IF WE HAD A CONTRACTOR COME IN AND TRY TO DO SOME INTERIM INTERIM IMPROVEMENTS.

AGAIN, THESE WOULD JUST BE INTERIM IMPROVEMENTS UNTIL WE COULD DO THE FULL RECONSTRUCTION OF THE ROADWAY, WHICH WOULD DEFINITELY BE NEEDED IN THE FUTURE.

SO TONIGHT, AS PART OF THIS PRESENTATION, AS WELL AS LOOKING AT THE CIP AND PLANNING FOR THE CIP, STAFF IS ASKING FOR SOME DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL.

WE CAN PROCEED WITH THE CURRENT CIP AS SHOWN, AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO INCLUDE THE PROJECT AGAIN.

WE COULD ADD THE WICKER HILL AND GREEN RIDGE PROJECT BACK INTO THE CIP.

BASED ON THE $6.6 MILLION CONSTRUCTION PRICE, WE ESTIMATE IT WOULD COST ABOUT A PENNY ON THE TAX RATE.

SO THAT PENNY WE SAVED THAT I SHOWED YOU, WE'D ADD IT BACK IN, OR WE COULD ADD THE WICKER HILL PROJECT BACK IN AND MOVE A PORTION APPROXIMATELY THE 6.8 MILLION TO THE WIDENING TO FOUR A. THAT'S SOMETHING WE HAD TALKED ABOUT PREVIOUSLY WITH THAT, I KNOW THERE'S SOME DIRECTION TO NOT USE FOR A FOR THAT, BUT WE DID WANT TO OFFER THAT AGAIN AS AN OPTION BECAUSE HELEN IS ELIGIBLE FOR FOR A FUNDING. SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO PAUSE AND GET SOME GENERAL FEEDBACK FROM COUNCIL ON HOW YOU WANT TO MOVE FORWARD OR NOT MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT.

I KNOW WE GET A LITTLE CROSSED UP ON WHAT WE CALL MILL AND OVERLAY VERSUS WHAT WE CALL PELVIC STABILIZATION AND OVERLAY.

WHICH WHICH PROCESS ARE YOU PROPOSING? THIS ESTIMATE, I BELIEVE, AND ERIC CAN TALK ABOUT THE PUBLIC WORK SIDE OF IT, BUT IT WOULD JUST BE IT WOULDN'T BE A FULL PULVERIZE. IT WOULD JUST BE A MILL AND OVERLAY WOULD BE JUST PULLING OFF THE TOP LAYER AND PUTTING IT BACK. BUT WE'RE GOING FOR ADDITIONAL WIDTH AS WELL, RIGHT? YEAH. SO THERE'D HAVE TO BE SOME STABILIZATION ON THE EDGES TO ADD THE ADDITIONAL.

WELL, I GUESS WHAT I WAS GETTING AT IS HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THE IDEA OF MIXING FULL WIDTH AND ADDING THE TWO FEET CONCURRENTLY WITH THAT TO AVOID THE THE HIGH COST OF GOING ALONG AND ADDING ADDITIONAL STRIPS THAT HAVE A HAVE DIFFERENT BASE BASS AND WON'T WE? DEFINITELY. WE HAVEN'T TAKEN A LOOK AT ALL THE DIFFERENT OPTIONS BECAUSE THOSE ARE JUST THE LIKE THE INTERMEDIATE MEASURES.

WE KNOW THAT FULL RECONSTRUCTION. SO IF THE DIRECTION IS TO DEPENDING ON TIMING OF CONSTRUCTION ERIC THOMPSON AND THE PUBLIC WORKS TEAM WILL LOOK AT ALL AVAILABLE OPTIONS FOR COST SAVING MEASURES. ANYTHING WE DO TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF IT BETWEEN NOW AND DOING THE FULL RECONSTRUCTION.

ERIC, WILL YOU SPEAK A LITTLE BIT TO THE EXISTING RIGHT OF WAY AND THE FACT THAT WE HAVE INSUFFICIENT RIGHT OF WAY? YEAH. SO MOST OF THIS AREA IS THE WIDTH OF THE ROADWAY IN SOME PLACES GOES DOWN TO 20FT, AND PEOPLE THEIR RIGHT OF WAY IS DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THAT. SO WE'RE BEING VERY LIMITED ON OUR ABILITY TO EXPAND THE ROADWAY WITHOUT DOING FULL RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION.

AND SO THAT'S WHY YOU'RE GETTING THE TWO FEET. I TOTALLY GET THAT.

BUT YOU'RE DEALING WITH ABOUT AN 18 FOOT WIDE CLEAN ROADWAY.

IF YOU TRIED TO TURN THAT INTO 22FT, PERHAPS BY ADDING A COUPLE OF FEET ON EACH SIDE.

YOU COULD PROBABLY DO THAT WITHIN THE THAT'S THE THE INTENT WOULD BE WE COULD PROBABLY DO TWO FEET ON EACH SIDE.

THAT'S WHY I WAS SUGGESTING THE IDEA OF JUST DOING THE ADDITIONAL WIDTH AND THE STABILIZATION OF THE BASE ALL AT ONE TIME.

I DON'T LOOKING AT THE CONDITION OF THE ASPHALT.

AFTER I DROVE THAT THING OUT THE OTHER DAY, I DON'T THINK IT COULD BE MILLED AND OVERLAID SUCCESSFULLY, BUT THAT'S JUST AN OPINION. AND YOU ALL HAVE OPINIONS TOO, AND THEY'RE BOTH VALID.

SO. BUT I WOULD SUGGEST LET'S LOOK HARD AT THE IDEA OF OF GRINDING THE WHOLE THING UP AND ADDING THE TWO FEET WHILE YOU'RE DOING THE GRINDING AND STABILIZE ALL OF IT, BECAUSE WHAT I'M WHAT I'M REALLY PRETTY CERTAIN ABOUT IS THAT THIS ROAD IS NOT GOING TO GET BUILT BY SCHOOL OPENING IN 2027.

NO WAY, NO HOW. BUT WE WE COULD DO THIS AND GET A LOT LONGER LIFE OUT OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO CALL A TEMPORARY SECTION WHILE WE FIGURE OUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO PAY FOR A WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS 5 MILLION, I'M SAYING IS $8 MILLION, ROADWAY PAVING PROJECT THAT INCLUDES ALL OF THIS CONCRETE BUILT TO CURRENT REQUIREMENTS AND SIDEWALKS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF ALONG WITH IT.

I THINK YOU'D BE BETTER OFF LOOKING AT THIS BEING LIKE A FIVE YEAR TO SEVEN YEAR LIFE THAT YOU'RE SHOOTING FOR.

YES, SIR. AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE GOING TO GET THAT OUT OF THE METHOD YOU ALL ARE TALKING ABOUT, SIR. UNDERSTOOD. ERIC, WHAT'S THE ZONING ISSUE WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO USE VALLEY DRIVE FOR ACCESS?

[01:55:08]

SO THAT WAS AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH BISHOP FARMS. THAT WAS AS PART OF THIS DEAL TO PUT THE SITE WHERE IS IT AT? I WANT TO FIND THE RIGHT SLIDE. SO THE PD ZONING THAT WAS APPROVED BY COUNCIL, IT SAYS THAT IT PROHIBITS THE VEHICLES FROM BUS ACCESS FROM USING FUTURE VALLEY DRIVE.

SO ON THIS SIDE OF THE SCHOOL THERE'S A FUTURE ROADWAY LOCATED HERE.

AND SO THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING PROHIBITS THE USE OF THIS.

SO THIS IS GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTED BY THE DEVELOPER.

BUT THE DEVELOPER DID NOT WANT TRAFFIC ON HERE BECAUSE THE HOUSES ARE GOING TO FRONT HERE.

SO HE DIDN'T WANT SCHOOL TRAFFIC ALONG THIS ROADWAY.

AND SO THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE PD TO PROHIBIT THE SCHOOL AS IT DEVELOPED TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THIS ROADWAY.

COULD THAT BE REVISITED FOR BUS TRAFFIC UNTIL WE GET WICKER HILL WITH THE DEVELOPER.

SO IT'S SOMETHING WE COULD APPROACH THE DEVELOPER ON. AND WE'VE SPOKEN WITH THE DEVELOPER. IT'S SOMETHING WE'VE DISCUSSED.

WE HAVE NOT HAD MUCH MOVEMENT ON IT JUST BECAUSE OF WHAT HE'S TRYING TO DO WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT HERE.

THE SCHOOL IS PRETTY MUCH WE'VE TALKED WITH THE SCHOOL ABOUT OPTIONS, ABOUT TAKING BUS TRAFFIC AND REROUTING THEM AND DOING DIFFERENT THINGS.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT MULTIPLE DIFFERENT OPTIONS, BUT WE JUST KNOW LONG TERM, WICKER HILL AND GREEN RIDGE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE RECONSTRUCTED. AND SO THAT'S JUST TRYING TO GET SOME IDEAS FROM COUNCIL IF THAT'S SOMETHING YOU STILL WANT TO PURSUE.

OKAY. WELL, I KNOW WITH TRYING TO GET SOME PROPERTY AND THERE'S A 90 DEGREE, 90 DEGREE CURVE IN THAT ROAD.

ALSO THAT IT'S GOING TO BE LONG TERM GETTING THAT FIXED UP CORRECTLY.

LIKE DAN SAID, THERE'S OPTIONS TO GET IT GOING NOW.

BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO ABOUT THE CURVE. ACTUALLY THERE'S TWO OF THEM THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIX.

SO IT SURE WOULD BE NICE IF IT WAS NEGOTIATED WHERE HE'D LET US USE IT FOR A WHILE UNTIL WE COULD FUND WICKER HILL CORRECTLY AND GET THE PROPERTY.

THIS THIS CURVE WILL BE ELIMINATED. THIS IS GOING TO BE A T INTERSECTION BECAUSE GREEN RIDGE BEING BUILT THROUGH. SO THIS WILL BE A T INTERSECTION.

THEY'LL MAKE A LEFT ON HERE. AND THEN IT'S THIS CURVE RIGHT HERE THAT WILL BE HAVING TO WIDEN AS WELL.

SO ERIC, THIS THIS GREEN RIDGE PROJECT, YOU CAN LEAVE THIS SLIDE UP THAT 5 MILLION OR WHATEVER IT WAS.

IS THAT JUST THE GREEN RIDGE TO WICKER HILL, OR IS THAT ALL THE WAY TO JOHN JONES? NO, IT'S IT'S WICKER HILL, NOT 174. SORRY. THIS IS 174.

SO THIS IS THIS WILL BE GREEN RIDGE. THE DEVELOPER IS RECONSTRUCTING AND BUILDING OR BUILDING, I SHOULD SAY GREEN RIDGE FROM HERE TO THE EXISTING GREEN RIDGE.

THE PROJECT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WOULD BE THIS SECTION OF GREEN RIDGE AND THIS SECTION OF WICKER HILL. OKAY. AND THE THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT YOU'VE GOT FOR THE INTERSECTION AT NUMBER THREE AND EVEN LIKE WHAT DAN WAS MENTIONING, OR LARRY LATER ON ABOUT THE SIDEWALKS, THE PIECE OF PROPERTY RIGHT THERE THAT HAS NOT BEEN REZONED AND THE DEVELOPMENT'S COMING IN. WOULD WE GET REIMBURSED IF WE HAD TO MAKE THE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS FROM THE DEVELOPERS, OR EVEN HAD TO DO THE SIDEWALKS, WHOEVER WOULD GO FIRST? WHOEVER GOES FIRST, RIGHT. OKAY. SO WHOEVER WILL GO FIRST.

SO THE SCHOOL, BASED ON THE INFORMATION WE HAVE, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE IMPROVEMENTS WOULD BE.

SO BASED ON THE SCHOOLS, THEY WOULD PROBABLY BE REQUIRED TO MAKE SOME IMPROVEMENTS AT THAT INTERSECTION.

MAKING IT AT LEAST THREE LANE WIDE HAVING A DEDICATED LEFT AND A RIGHT THROUGH AND THEN THE ENTRY LANE.

SO THEY WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO DO SOME OF THOSE IMPROVEMENTS. SO THAT WOULD BE DROPPED OFF OF OUR COST, AND THEN IT WOULD TAPER FROM THREE BACK DOWN TO TWO LANES.

BUT THERE'D. BE RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION. BUT WHOEVER WOULD GO FIRST. SO BASED ON THEIR TIMING, IT COULD BE THEM THAT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING THOSE IMPROVEMENTS. OKAY. YOU SAID THE SCHOOL WOULD, BASED ON TIMING, WOULD PROBABLY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WICKER HILL TO 174.

JUST THE CONNECTION BETWEEN 174 AND WICKER HILL.

JUST THE INTERSECTION. OKAY, SO BASED ON TIMING, IF THEY WANT TO BE OPEN IN AUGUST OF 27, THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW BASED ON THE TIA AND BASED ON FEEDBACK WE GET FROM TXDOT, WHICH WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT INFORMATION IS YET.

WE WOULD BASED ON OUR TIMING, IF WE WERE GOING TO DESIGN THIS, WE WOULD START DESIGNING IN 26.

WE WOULDN'T BE READY FOR CONSTRUCTION IN MID SOMETIME IN FY 27.

THEY'RE PLANNING ON BEING OPEN THAT YEAR. SO THEY WOULD BEAT US TO THE PUNCH TO HAVE TO DO THE IMPROVEMENTS.

OKAY. WELL THE UTILITIES THOSE CONCRETE POWER POLES THERE WOULD BE MY CONCERN.

THEY'RE PRETTY CLOSE TO THE ROAD. SO ANY THOUGHTS ON ADDING WICKER TO THE CAPITAL PLAN IN THE FUTURE? OUT YEARS? IF AND THEN, YOU KNOW, MAYOR PRO TEM, HEARING YOUR FEEDBACK WILL LOOK AT WHAT THE COSTS ARE TO DO SOME MORE LONG TERM SOLUTIONS.

OBVIOUSLY WORK WITH ERIC TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE IN HIS CURRENT FUNDING SCENARIO.

AND SO WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THAT INCREASE COSTS LOOK LIKE. I MEAN, I STILL DON'T WANT TO TOUCH FOR A REALLY.

AND THEN THE FACT THAT WE'VE ALREADY SET UP HERE PUBLICLY THAT WE WERE WILLING TO GO TO FIVE AND A HALF CENTS AND THEN WE GOT A PENNY SAVINGS,

[02:00:06]

WE CAN STILL GO TO FIVE AND A HALF CENTS. AND NOW ADD WICKER HILL AND GREEN RIDGE BACK TO THE CIP.

SO I JUST WANT TO I KNOW I PROBABLY SOUND LIKE A BROKEN RECORD.

EVERYTHING ABOUT THE TAX RATE AND THE TOTAL AMOUNT IS ALL DEPENDENT UPON.

AND SO I DON'T WANT TO OVERSELL THAT. YEAH, I MEAN, IT'S EITHER 1 OR 2 FOR ME.

I DON'T WANT TO TOUCH FOR A.

ANOTHER OPTION THAT YOU HAVE IS THAT WE COULD CERTAINLY BRING THESE UPDATED COSTS BACK.

YOU CAN RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MODIFY THE CAPITAL PLAN AT A LATER DATE.

YOU CAN SEE AT THE INTERIM SOLUTIONS ARE SUFFICIENT TO GET US TO THE FIVE YEAR PERIOD.

OR ONCE YOU HAVE UPDATED NUMBERS, MAKE A DECISION THEN.

BUT I THINK WE HAVE CLEAR DIRECTION IN THE SENSE OF BRINGING YOU BACK UPDATED NUMBERS.

I KNOW THAT I TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS BEING A LITTLE BIT BACKWARDS IN THE SENSE THAT WE'RE BRINGING THIS TO YOU AFTER, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE TAKEN ACTION ON THE CIP. WE NEEDED TO GET THE SCHOOLS TIA.

WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY WERE COMFORTABLE BEING PUBLIC ABOUT THEIR PROPOSED SCHEDULE, WHICH IS WHY THIS IS COMING AS QUICKLY AS WE POSSIBLY COULD.

IDEALLY, WE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THIS TO YOU BEFORE TODAY, BUT THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE'VE DONE IT IN THAT WAY.

OKAY, THANKS. SO ERIC JUST GAVE ME SOME INFORMATION, AND WE'LL COME BACK WITH NUMBERS.

I DON'T WANT TO EXTEND THE CONVERSATION ANY LONGER, BUT ERIC'S THEIR ESTIMATES FOR THE LONG TERM 5 TO 7 YEAR SOLUTION IS IS PROBABLY JUST OVER $1 MILLION. SO THAT WOULD EAT UP A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF HIS THE O&M COSTS FOR WHATEVER YEAR WE USE IT IN.

SO JUST SOMETHING TO BE AWARE OF, BUT WE'LL DEFINITELY COME BACK WITH WITH NUMBERS.

AS TIME YOU SAID WHEN WE HAVE BETTER INFORMATION ON THE VALUATIONS AND TAX RATES AND ALL THOSE THINGS, WILL DEFINITELY HAVE THIS AS AN OPTION WHEN WE GO THROUGH THE BUDGET PROCESS.

I'M GOING TO SHIFT WATER WASTEWATER. SO THIS IS THE 25 THROUGH 29 WASTEWATER WATER AND WASTEWATER CAPITAL PLAN THAT YOU ADOPTED EARLIER THIS EVENING.

WHEN YOU ADD ON 2030, YOU'LL SEE ONLY THREE THINGS BEING ADDED.

WE CONTINUE THE WATER AND SEWER REHABILITATION INTO 2030 AT 2,000,003 MILLION ANNUALLY.

AND THEN WE HAVE ADDITIONAL SEWER PROJECTS FOR RANCHO MASTER PLAN, AS IF WE SEE THAT PLAN CONTINUE AND THE EXPANSION OF HYDRO RANCH THROUGH THAT AREA ON THE FAR SIDE. THIS IS THE CURRENT 25 THROUGH 29 CAPITAL PLAN.

AS YOU CAN SEE, WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING BEING CURRENTLY ADDED TO 2030.

AS OBVIOUSLY THE OUT YEARS ARE THE PLANNING YEARS.

AS SOMETHING COMES UP, WE'D BE ADDING SOMETHING TO THOSE YEARS AS THINGS CHANGE.

ON THE FOUR B SIDE, THIS IS THE 25 THROUGH 29 CAPITAL PLAN AS ADOPTED EARLIER THIS EVENING.

IN 2030, WE ONLY HAVE ONE PROJECT GETS ADDED ON.

IT'S THE BATHROOM ADDITION AT THE AT CLAUDIA'S PLAYGROUND.

FOR THE TIF. NO MAJOR ADS. SO YOU'LL SEE THE TIF CIP FOR 26 THROUGH 30 HAS NO CAPITAL PROJECTS.

AND SO WE DON'T PLAN ON ANYTHING AT THIS TIME.

WE'LL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE TIF. AND IF WE SEE THAT THE ABILITY TO AFFORD SOME PROJECTS, WE DO HAVE FUTURE PROJECTS IDENTIFIED FOR THAT FUNDING SOURCE.

AND WITH THAT, I'D LOVE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR ANY COMMENTS YOU HAVE WITH REGARDS TO THE CAPITAL PLANS.

ANYBODY? YEAH, I AGREE THAT GREENWICH AND WICKER HILL SHOULD HAVE CAME BEFORE THE CIP BECAUSE IN ORDER TO DO IT AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO IT, IT LOOKS LIKE I MEAN, WE CAN DO THE TEMPORARY FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS, BUT IT'S GOING TO IT'S GOING TO FALL APART.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MOVE SOMETHING ON THE CIP.

SO IT PROBABLY WON'T BE THIS YEAR, BUT IT WILL DEFINITELY BE NEXT YEAR.

UNDERSTOOD. WHEN WE AGAIN WHEN WE BRING THE WE'LL GIVE YOU OPTIONS WHEN WE BRING THE PRICING FORWARD.

AND HAD WE BEEN ABLE TO BRING YOU ADDITIONAL DETAIL BEFORE TODAY, WE WOULD HAVE.

IT'S JUST WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE HAD THE TIA TO KNOW WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, VERSUS THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT THE CITY WOULD NEED TO MAKE, SINCE THAT WAS THE DECISION BEHIND THE TIMING.

AT THIS POINT, WE STILL DON'T KNOW IF THE TIA IS GOING TO DO THE INTERSECTION, DO WE? WE DON'T KNOW. FOR THE WICKER HILL GREEN RIDGE, WE DON'T KNOW FOR SURE. WE KNOW WE KNOW THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A REQUIREMENT FOR THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL. WE KNOW THAT THE THERE'S GOING TO BE A REQUIREMENT FOR THEM TO GO TO THREE LANES AT WICKER HILL.

THAT'S A GUARANTEE. THE TXDOT, IT'S A TXDOT ROADWAY SECTION.

SO WICKER HILL WE CONTROL. SO WE KNOW BASED ON OUR ANALYSIS THAT'S GOING TO GO TO AT LEAST THREE LANES.

[02:05:01]

SO IT'LL BE A LEFT TURN LANE A RIGHT THROUGH AND RIGHT.

AND THEN IN LANE. SO IT'LL GO THREE LANES WIDE THERE.

THE QUESTION THAT WE HAVE WITH TXDOT IS MOST LIKELY TXDOT THAT'S GOING TO REQUIRE A DECEL LANE A RIGHT TURN DECEL LANE ON THE WICKER HILL.

SO THAT'S PROBABLY SOMETHING THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BUILD ON. 174 SO WE KNOW FOR SURE IT'S GOING TO BE THREE LANES WIDE.

THERE'S GOING TO BE IMPROVEMENT THERE. WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT THE TECH SIDE IMPROVEMENTS ARE ON 174 THEMSELVES. EVERYTHING WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE SOUNDS FAMILIAR. IT SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE SOMETHING WE TALKED ABOUT WHEN WE APPROVED THE DEVELOPMENT EARLIER THIS YEAR. WHAT WHERE IS THAT? IT IS. SO WE'VE RECEIVED THE WE HAVE THE THEY HAVE THE PD BASED ON THE COMMENTS AND CHANGES THAT YOU MADE.

BUT THEY STILL HAVEN'T CLOSED ON THE PROPERTY AND THEY HAVE NO MOVEMENT ON CONSTRUCTION.

SO AGAIN IT'S A LOT OF THIS WITH DEVELOPMENT.

IT GOES WHO COMES FIRST. RIGHT. SO IF THE SCHOOL IS GOING TO COME FIRST, THE SCHOOL IS GOING TO DO SOME IMPROVEMENTS AND THEN THE DEVELOPER WON'T HAVE TO DO THOSE IMPROVEMENTS. IT'S ALSO TIMING OF A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT THAT INTERSECTION EVENTUALLY WILL ONCE ENOUGH STUFF GOES ON THERE.

TRAFFIC SIGNAL HAS BEEN REQUIRED THERE. SO JUST TIMING OF WHEN EVERYBODY COMES IN WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE NEXT STEP.

SO I CAN'T PUSH THE DEVELOPER TO GO ANY FASTER.

THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THAT BRINGS US TO EIGHT C TO RECEIVE A REPORT, HOLD THE DISCUSSION AND PROVIDE STAFF DIRECTION REGARDING FISCAL YEAR 2025 2026.

[8.C. Receive a report, hold a discussion, and provide staff direction regarding Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2026 Compensation and Benefits. (Staff Contact: Cheryl Marthiljohni, Director of Human Resources)]

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS. THE STAFF PRESENTER THIS EVENING IS CHERYL MARSHALL, DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES.

THANK YOU, MISS CAMPOS. APPRECIATE THAT. GOOD EVENING.

MAYOR, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, I KNOW I'M CLOSING IN ON 10:00, SO I'LL TALK FAST.

SO I'M HERE TONIGHT TO TALK ABOUT OUR COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS.

I'VE GOT QUITE A FEW TOPICS TO REVIEW WITH YOU THIS EVENING.

ONE IS TO DO AN OVERVIEW OF OUR COMPENSATION.

THE OTHER IS TO TALK ABOUT WHERE WE'RE AT WITH OUR HEALTH FUND AND OUR HEALTH PLAN.

AND THEN TO WRAP UP TONIGHT, I'M GOING TO CLOSE WITH THE EMPLOYER OF CHOICE FOCUS, AS WELL AS OFFER UP ANY TIME FOR QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS.

SO ON OVERVIEW. FOR COMPENSATION, I WANT TO TOUCH BASE ON OUR COMPENSATION STRATEGY.

JUST AS A REMINDER, ALSO GO THROUGH SOME HISTORY OF WHAT WE'VE PROVIDED.

THEN I WANT TO TALK ABOUT GENERAL POPULATION AND THEN TRANSITION TO PUBLIC SAFETY.

AND THEN AT THE END OF THIS PORTION OF THE PRESENTATION, WE'LL HAVE A WRAP UP OF WHAT THAT FINANCIAL IMPACT LOOKS LIKE FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

SO COMPENSATION STRATEGY BREAK IT INTO FIVE DIFFERENT AREAS.

IT DOESN'T GO IN ORDER. THEY REALLY ALL WORK TOGETHER.

BUT THE FIRST ONE IS WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PAYING ATTENTION TO MARKET DATA, AND WE'RE UTILIZING THAT.

WE ALSO LOOK AT OUR INTERNAL BENCHMARKING TO SUPPORT ANY SALARY DECISIONS AND ANY RANGES THAT WE ARE DEVELOPING.

WE WANT TO MAINTAIN STARTING PAY HIGHER IN THE RANGE TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN TALENT FOR HARD TO FILL OR HIGH TURNOVER POSITIONS.

WE WANT TO CONTINUE REGRADING AND APPLYING MARKET ADJUSTMENTS FOR KEY POSITIONS BASED ON MARKET SURVEYS THAT WE DO THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

AND WE ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PLACING POSITIONS IN CURRENT SALARY GRADES.

WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO USE CORE MARKET CITIES, WHICH THOSE ARE LISTED BELOW, ALONG WITH OTHER MARKET INDICATORS SUCH AS DATA COLLECTED IN EXIT INTERVIEWS AS WELL AS ON APPLICATIONS THAT COME TO US.

THE LAST ONE IS FOCUS ON BUILDING CAREER PATHWAYS WITH SKILL BASED PAY, AND THEN ALSO LOOK AT OUR PART TIME PAY STRUCTURES.

AND YOU'LL SEE HERE IN A MINUTE WHY THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON AS WE LOOK TO THE FUTURE WITH OUR COMPENSATION STRATEGY.

WITH REGARDS TO COMPENSATION HISTORY BACK FROM FISCAL YEAR 20.

YOU CAN SEE THAT THE CITY HAS PROVIDED A COMPENSATION PLAN MERIT FOR NON STOP AND THEN POLICE AND FIRE PAY STEP PAYS.

SOME YEARS THERE WAS ALSO TARGETED MARKET ADJUSTMENTS TO CERTAIN POPULATION GOES ALL THE WAY TO FISCAL YEAR 25.

THIS LAST YEAR, WE HAD AN AVERAGE MERIT OF 3% AND AN AVERAGE STEP OF 3%.

SORT OF GIVE YOU SOME DEMOGRAPHICS OF OUR EMPLOYEE NUMBERS.

WE HAVE AUTHORIZED FULL TIME, 439 PART TIME, AROUND 258.

CURRENTLY WE HAVE 414. THIS IS DATA AS OF THE END OF MAY.

VACANCIES. WE HAVE 17. AND THEN WE DO HAVE SOME POSITIONS ON HOLD FROM LAST FISCAL YEAR OR THIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR.

AND THOSE ARE LISTED BELOW. PART TIME NUMBERS ARE ALSO THERE AS WELL.

NO POSITIONS ON HOLD FOR PART TIME. BUT WE ARE WORKING WITH FULL TIME VACANCIES OF AROUND 17,

[02:10:01]

AND SOME OF THOSE HAVE ALREADY SHAVED OFF. ACTUALLY, WE HAD THREE OFFICERS JOIN US THIS MORNING, SO THAT'S A GOOD NUMBER. SO ONE OF THE FOCUSES THAT WE HAVE IN HR AND THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT ACROSS THE CITY IS REGRETTABLE ATTRITION, WHICH IS DIFFERENT THAN JUST YOUR NORMAL TURNOVER OR ATTRITION RATE.

REGRETTABLE ATTRITION REFERS TO VOLUNTARY RESIGNATIONS THAT ARE HAPPENING OR NON PLANNED RETIREMENT OF EMPLOYEES.

SO THEY LEAVE EARLIER THAN MAYBE WHAT WAS PLANNED.

SO FOR US IT'S IMPORTANT TO DRILL DOWN AND UNDERSTAND WHAT ARE THE REASONS BEHIND THESE REGRETTABLE ATTRITION NUMBERS SO THAT WE CAN BETTER PREPARE OUR CULTURE, OUR WORKFORCE, OUR LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, OUR CAREER GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES, OR ANYTHING ALONG THOSE LINES THAT CAN STOP THAT REGRETTABLE ATTRITION OR AT LEAST SLOW IT DOWN. SO CURRENT TURNOVER FOR OUR ORGANIZATION IS RIGHT NOW WE HAVE FULL TIME EMPLOYEE TURNOVER ANNUALIZED TO BE 9.1% FOR OUR FISCAL YEAR CURRENT. THAT'S BELOW OUR TARGET OF 12% AS WE LOOK AT OUR STRATEGIC GOALS.

OUR ENTRY LEVEL POSITIONS CONTINUE TO BE MOST VULNERABLE JUST DUE TO MARKET INFLUENCE, WAGES, BENEFITS, INCENTIVES, WORK LIFE BALANCE. SO YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE NUMBERS THERE WITH REGARDS TO OUR FULL TIME AND PART TIME TURNOVER YEAR TO DATE.

REASONS FOR SEPARATION. WE HAD 12 RESIGNATIONS.

AND SO AGAIN THOSE COULD BE WRAPPED UP IN SOME OF THOSE REGRETTABLE ATTRITION NUMBERS.

RESIGNATION IN LIEU OF WAS A JOINT DECISION BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE EMPLOYEE TO PART WAYS.

RETIRED AND THEN DISMISSED. WE HAVE LESS THAN FIVE YEARS OF SERVICE.

WE HAD 18. THAT LEFT US GREATER THAN FIVE YEARS OF SERVICES.

NUMBER NINE. SO AS I GO BACK AND LOOK AT OUR CURRENT TURNOVER, I'M LOOKING FOR THOSE DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE HIGH IN THAT HAVE THAT HIGHER THAN ABOVE THAT 12% TARGET. SO THESE ARE THOSE DEPARTMENTS.

AND SOME OF IT MIGHT BE JUST THE POPULATION WHERE THE DEPARTMENTS HAVE SMALL NUMBERS TO BEGIN WITH.

SO LOSING ONE MAKES A BIG FACTOR. BUT NONETHELESS, IT'S IMPORTANT TO DRILL DOWN INTO THESE DEPARTMENTS AS WELL AND UNDERSTAND WHAT ARE THE REASONS FOR SEPARATION HAPPENING IN THESE DEPARTMENTS, AND WHAT DO WE NEED TO FOCUS ON WITH REGARDS TO EITHER OUR COMPENSATION OR OUR CULTURE OR OTHER FACTORS TO HELP OUT? AND YOU CAN SEE WE HAD SEVEN RESIGNATIONS IN THESE DEPARTMENTS.

WE HAD ONE NON PLANNED RETIREMENT. SO THAT GOES BACK TO THAT DEFINITION OF REGRETTABLE ATTRITION.

WE HAD TWO RESIGNATIONS IN LIEU OF AND THEN TWO DISMISSED.

SO AS I LOOK ACROSS GENERAL POPULATION AND THE COMPENSATION DETAILS AND THIS IS FOR NON PUBLIC SAFETY STEP PERSONNEL, YOU CAN SEE THAT WE HAVE ABOUT 49% OF OUR FULL TIME EMPLOYEES THAT ARE AT OR ABOVE OUR MIDPOINT IN OUR SALARY SCALE, WHICH I THINK IS A PRETTY GOOD NUMBER. BELOW MIDPOINT IS RIGHT AT 51.

SO WE'RE PRETTY MUCH SPLIT HALF AND HALF WITH REGARDS TO HOW WE'RE LOOKING AT OUR FULL TIME AND HOW WE HAVE THEM IN THE SCALE.

BUT IF YOU NOTICE THAT RANGE PLACEMENT SCALE BELOW THAT, WE HAVE A GREAT NUMBER BETWEEN THAT 26% TO 75%.

AND SO THAT WOULD BE TELLING ME THAT I THINK OUR STRATEGIES ARE WORKING WITH OUR COMPENSATION.

WE NEED TO STAY ON TOP OF IT, OF COURSE. BUT I THINK FROM OUR FULL TIME NONPUBLIC SAFETY STEP WE'RE PLACING VERY COMPETITIVE WITH REGARDS TO OUR STRUCTURES. PART TIME IS A DIFFERENT STORY, HOWEVER.

SO THIS IS A FUTURE FOCUS AREAS FOR US TO LOOK AT.

WE HAVE ONLY 7% AT OR ABOVE MIDPOINT. BELOW MIDPOINT IS 93%.

YOU COULD MAYBE ARGUE THAT THAT JUST HAPPENS WITH PART TIMERS.

HOWEVER, WHEN WE'RE COMPETING AGAINST FOR LIFEGUARDS, THAT BECOMES AN IMPORTANT NUMBER FOR US, RIGHT. AND SO WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO LOOK AT THAT.

WE HAVE 184 PART TIME EMPLOYEES THAT ARE ANYWHERE FROM THE BEGINNING, MINIMUM SCALE UPWARDS TO THAT 25%.

SO WE HAVE SOME WORK TO DO WITH OUR PART TIME AS A FUTURE FOCUS.

IF THERE'S NO QUESTIONS ON GENERAL POPULATION, I'LL SHIFT TO PUBLIC SAFETY COMPENSATION.

I HAVE THREE OPTIONS FOR YOU TONIGHT THAT I'M GOING TO REVIEW.

OPTION A IS JUST US STAYING WITH OUR CURRENT STEP PLAN, MAKING NO CHANGES AT ALL, JUST REALLY HONORING THE STEP AS DESIGNED WHICH GIVES AN AVERAGE PAY INCREASE OF 3% BUT NO CHANGES TO THE STEP PLAN ITSELF.

PROPOSAL B IS ACTUALLY PROVIDING THAT 3% STEP.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, ALSO PROVIDING MARKET ADJUSTMENTS TO THE STEP PLANS AND INCLUDE ADJUSTING STEP RANGES FOR CERTAIN POSITIONS WHICH ARE LISTED DOWN THERE.

FOR POLICE, IT WOULD BE POLICE SERGEANT AND FOR FIRE IT WOULD BE FIRE LIEUTENANT AND FIRE CAPTAIN.

OPTION C IS OUR HIGHER VERSION. IT ALSO OFFERS THE STEP AS IS TODAY FOR THE AVERAGE PAY INCREASE OF 3%,

[02:15:02]

BUT IT INCLUDES A MORE COMPETITIVE MARKET ADJUSTMENT TO STEP PLANS AND INCLUDE ADJUSTING STEP RANGES FOR CERTAIN POSITIONS.

YOU'LL SEE IN A MINUTE WHEN I HAVE SOME CHARTS TO FOCUS ON THIS THAT, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF FIREFIGHTER RECRUIT AND FIREFIGHTER OPTION B, IS ACTUALLY MORE COMPETITIVE THAN OPTION C, SO I WANTED TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THAT, BUT WE'LL SEE THAT AGAIN HERE IN A MINUTE.

SO THESE ARE GOING TO BE THE THREE PROPOSALS I TALK ABOUT TONIGHT.

I'M GOING TO START WITH POLICE. POLICE DEPARTMENT.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE AUTHORIZED 84 FOR OUR STEP PLAN PERSONNEL.

WE HAVE 22 FOR NON STEP AND CIVILIAN POSITIONS, GIVING US A TOTAL OF 106 IN THE POLICE DIVISION.

WE HAVE 21 IN OUR PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS DIVISION.

SO A TOTAL DEPARTMENT AUTHORIZED OF 127. WE'RE SITTING AT 118 RIGHT NOW.

WE HAVE FIVE OFFICERS THAT HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED, THAT WE HAVE EXTENDED, AND WE HAVE FOUR THAT ARE CURRENTLY VACANT.

YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE A COUPLE MORE OFFICERS TO FILL, AND THEN WE HAVE A PROPERTY AND EVIDENCE CRIME SCENE TECHNICIAN THAT IS VACANT.

CURRENTLY OUR POLICE STEP PLAN LOOKS LIKE THIS.

I HAVE ADDED IN THE PERSONNEL NUMBERS AT THE TOP OF EACH STEP SO YOU CAN GET AN IDEA OF HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE SITTING IN THOSE STEPS.

SO AGAIN, IF WE WERE GOING TO GO WITH PROPOSAL A, IT WOULD BE THOSE FOUR SITTING IN POLICE OFFICER.

STEP ONE WOULD MOVE TO STEP TWO. SO MAKING 75,000 ANNUALLY TODAY AS A BASE WOULD MOVE TO 77,250.

IF WE JUST STICK WITH OPTION TWO, GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT THAT STEP PLAN LOOKS LIKE FOR THOSE LEVELS.

WE ALSO WANTED TO TAKE A LOOK WITH OUR COMPARABLE CITIES AND SEE HOW ARE WE LOOKING AT WITH REGARDS TO OUR POPULATION SIZE COMPARED TO OUR SWORN OFFICER POPULATION.

AND YOU CAN SEE BURLESON IS RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE.

WE HAVE ABOUT, YOU KNOW, 89. THAT INCLUDES ALL SWORN.

SO EVEN INCLUDES THOSE THAT ARE NOT IN THE STEP PLAN, BUT THAT ARE CONSIDERED SWORN OFFICERS.

AND SO WE HAVE ABOUT ONE FOR EVERY 632 IN OUR POPULATION.

AND YOU CAN SEE HOW THAT COMPARES WITH REGARDS TO SOME OF THE OTHER COMPARABLE CITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

I WILL MAKE A NOTE THAT THE ESTIMATED SWORN OFFICERS WE DID OUR RESEARCH WITH THEIR DEPARTMENT WEBSITE, SO SOME OF THOSE MIGHT BE A LITTLE OFF, BUT WE DID OUR BEST TO FIND WHERE THEIR SWORN OFFICER POPULATION WAS.

AND SO THOSE ARE ESTIMATES FOR THOSE CITIES. AS WE LOOK ACROSS THOSE COMPARABLE CITIES WITH OUR BENCHMARKING FOR POLICE, YOU CAN SEE WHAT OUR RANKING IS FOR THOSE THREE PROPOSALS.

IF WE STAY WITH PROPOSAL A, AND THIS IS ASSUMING THAT THE MARKET IS GOING TO MOVE 3% FOR NEXT YEAR WE ASSUME THAT MARKET MOVEMENT WE KNOW THAT FORT WORTH HAS THAT BUILT IN TO THEIR STEP PLAN THAT IT'S AN AUTOMATIC 3%.

WE KNOW SOME OTHER CITIES ARE MOVING AS WELL.

SOME ARE MOVING 2.5%, SOME ARE MOVING RIGHT THERE AT THAT 3%.

SO WE WANTED TO ASSUME A MARKET MOVEMENT OF 3% WHEN WE LOOKED AT THESE PROPOSALS.

IF WE DO THAT WITH THIS RANKING FOR PROPOSAL A, YOU CAN SEE THAT WE ARE AT THE BOTTOM.

OUR PUBLIC SAFETY RECRUITS ARE 15 TO 15 CITIES.

OFFICERS ARE 11 TO 15 ON THE MINIMUM OF OUR SCALE, 13 TO 15 ON THE MAX.

OUR SERGEANTS ARE AT THE BOTTOM 15 TO 15 AND 15 TO 15.

AND THEN LIEUTENANT IS 11 OF 13 AND 13 OF 13.

YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING WHY PD LIEUTENANT DOESN'T HAVE THE 15, AND IT'S BECAUSE SOME OF THESE CITIES DON'T HAVE THAT LEVEL OR THAT ROLE IN THEIR RANKS.

BUT 13 CITIES DID. SO THAT'S WHAT WE COMPARED AGAINST.

BUT THEN WHEN WE START LOOKING INTO PROPOSAL B PROPOSAL, SEE, YOU CAN SEE THAT THAT RANKING CHANGES SOME.

AND SO WE'RE GETTING A LITTLE BIT MORE COMPETITIVE IN THAT POSITION IN MARKET WITH REGARDS TO WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THOSE PROPOSALS.

SO I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE BEST TO ALSO SHOW YOU JUST GRAPHICALLY WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE FROM PROPOSAL A, B, AND C. SO OUR POLICE SAFETY RECRUIT, YOU CAN SEE PROPOSAL B IS PUTTING US IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MARKET IF YOU WILL.

THAT AGAIN IS AN AVERAGE PAY INCREASE OF 3% PLUS MARKET ADJUSTMENT PLUS ADJUSTING SOME STEP RANGES FOR CERTAIN POSITIONS.

PLAN C IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE AGGRESSIVE.

BUT PROPOSAL A KEEPS US ON THE BOTTOM END OF THE MARKET DATA.

THIS IS THAT VIEW FOR POLICE OFFICER WITH OUR PROPOSAL A PROPOSAL B PROPOSAL C.

POLICE SERGEANT. AND POLICE LIEUTENANT.

SO AS WE LOOK ACROSS THOSE THREE PROPOSALS, THIS IS WHAT THE NEW STEP PLAN VERSIONS MIGHT LOOK LIKE.

[02:20:01]

WE'VE GOT THE DIFFERENT PLANS FOR THE DIFFERENT LEVELS IN OUR STEP.

SO YOU CAN SEE SORT OF WHAT THOSE DOLLAR FIGURES LOOK LIKE FROM THE MINIMUM OF THE STEP TO THE MAX IN SERGEANT.

THIS IS ONE AREA WHERE WE ACTUALLY SHORTEN THE STEPS TO HAVE PARITY WITH OUR OTHER FIRE DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS WHAT THE MARKET INDICATORS WERE.

SO FOR PLAN B AND PLAN C, THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT WE DO AWAY WITH STEP FIVE.

CURRENTLY WE HAVE A STEP FIVE. SO THAT THAT PARTICULAR POSITION WOULD GO TO ONLY HAVING FOUR STEPS IF WE CHOSE PLAN B OR PLAN C.

SO NO QUESTIONS ON PD. I'LL SWITCH TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

FOLLOW SOME OF THE SAME FORMAT. FOR FIRESTEP, WE HAVE AUTHORIZED 54 FOR FIRE, NON-STEP AND CIVILIAN WE HAVE SEVEN, SO A TOTAL FIRE DIVISION OF 61. WE ALSO HAVE 18 FIRE MEDICAL TRANSPORT IN STEP.

SO FIRE DEPARTMENT TOTAL IS 79. WE HAVE 77 FIELD POSITIONS.

WE HAVE TWO VACANT. VACANT POSITIONS ARE ASSISTANT FIRE CHIEF AND WE HAVE ONE FIRE INVESTIGATOR THAT IS ALSO VACANT.

AGAIN, LOOKING AT THE POPULATION AND HOW WE MATCH UP WITH REGARDS TO ESTIMATED PERSONNEL.

BURLESON IS IN THE MIDDLE. WE HAVE 77 ESTIMATED PERSONNEL IN OUR DEPARTMENT.

SO WE HAVE ONE FOR EVERY 730 IN OUR POPULATION COMPARED TO THOSE OTHER CITIES.

HERE IS OUR CURRENT FIRE STEP PLAN. AGAIN, YOU SEE THE PERSONNEL NUMBERS AT THE VERY TOP OF THE STEP.

AND SO IF I TAKE FIREFIGHTER, FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE STAY WITH OUR OPTION A, WHICH IS JUST HONORING THIS STEP, WE WOULD HAVE OUR BASE ANNUAL SALARY FOR STEP ONE AT 71,000.

THEY WOULD THEN MOVE TO 73 130 IN STEP TWO. SO SIX OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS WOULD MOVE TO STEP TWO, WHILE THE 11 MOVE ON TO STEP THREE. AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.

HERE IS OUR BENCHMARKING AND OUR RANKING FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

AND AGAIN THIS ASSUMES THAT THAT MARKET MOVEMENT OF 3% IS HAPPENING.

SO YOU CAN SEE CURRENT PROPOSAL A WE AGAIN ARE ON THE LOWER END.

AGAIN SOME OF THOSE NUMBERS ARE NOT MATCHING UP BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE A SIMILAR POSITION IN THOSE CITIES.

SO WHERE THEY HAD IT IS WHERE WE COMPARED TO PROPOSAL B IN SOME POSITIONS ARE THE SAME AS OUR PROPOSAL A AND OTHERS.

IT GETS US A LITTLE BIT MORE COMPETITIVE. AND THE SAME GRAPH AS A AS A REMINDER FIREFIGHTER RECRUIT AND FIREFIGHTER.

WE ACTUALLY HAD PROPOSAL B LOOK MORE ATTRACTIVE WHEN WE STEP BACK AND LOOKED AT IT.

AND SO I'VE MADE THOSE NOTES HERE. BUT BUT PROPOSAL B AND PROPOSAL C ARE RIGHT ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER.

BUT THEN YOU CAN ALSO SEE WHERE WE'RE POSITIONED WITH OUR A PLAN.

AND THAT IS IT FOR FIREFIGHTER. I DO WANT TO MAKE A NOTE HERE THAT THE MARKET DATA THAT WE'RE COMPARING AGAINST WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR FIREFIGHTER IS PARAMEDIC DATA. WE'RE FINDING THAT SOME OF OUR CITIES IN OUR COMPARATIVE ONLY HIRE PARAMEDICS.

AND SO AS WE CONTINUE TO STAFF OUT OUR AMBULANCES, I THINK THAT'S THE MARKET DATA THAT WE NEED TO BE PAYING CLOSER ATTENTION TO.

AND HOW THAT LOOKS WITH REGARDS TO WHERE WE STAND TODAY.

SO I'VE DENOTED THOSE CITIES THAT ONLY HIRE PARAMEDICS.

SO THERE'S A FEW OF THEM THERE. I THINK MORE CITIES ARE GOING TO BE MOVING IN THAT DIRECTION.

AND SO IT BEHOOVES US, I THINK, TO PAY ATTENTION TO THAT MARKET DATA, WHICH IS WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE.

APPARATUS. OPERATOR. YOU CAN SEE THE PROPOSAL A, B, AND C.

FIRE. LIEUTENANT. IF WE DO, NOTHING WILL BE ON THE BOTTOM END OF THE MARKET DATA.

PROPOSAL B, PROPOSAL C MOVES US CLOSER IN FIRE, CAPTAIN.

AND THEN OUR BATTALION CHIEFS. THIS IS VERY. THIS IS GOING TO TEST YOUR EYES TONIGHT.

THIS IS VERY SMALL, BUT IT ALSO ADDS IN AGAIN ALL THREE PROPOSALS WITH REGARDS TO WHAT THOSE STEPS WOULD LOOK LIKE.

WE ALSO HAVE IN FIRE, LIEUTENANT DOING AWAY WITH STEP FIVE.

IF WE GO WITH PLAN B OR PLAN C, AND SO THAT ADDS PARITY TO WHAT WE'RE SEEING ON THE PD SIDE WITH ONLY FOUR STEPS.

AND SO. THAT IS THAT ONE. SO AS I TRANSITION TO THE FINANCIAL IMPACT FOR PUBLIC SAFETY, ONLY FOR THE STEP PLAN OPTIONS PROPOSAL A IS, I BELIEVE, ALREADY INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET.

[02:25:01]

AND SO OR THE PROPOSED BUDGET AND IT'S A 12 MONTH ESTIMATED AMOUNT WITH SALARY AND BENEFITS.

SO THAT'S ABOUT 580,000. THAT GIVES US AN AVERAGE PAY INCREASE OF 3% FOR EACH STEP.

PROPOSAL B IS THAT AVERAGE PAY INCREASE OF THREE STEP.

BUT WHEN WE INCLUDE THE MARKET ADJUSTMENT TO STEP PLANS, AND WE INCLUDE ADJUSTING SOME OF THE STEP RANGES, THAT GIVES US AN AVERAGE OF ABOUT 4%. THAT OPTION, COUPLED WITH OPTION A, IS ABOUT 758,000.

OPTION C IS GOING TO BE OUR HIGHER END COST. THAT PROVIDES AN AVERAGE PAY INCREASE OF 6.59, BUT IT COUPLES THE 3% INCREASE PLUS THE GREATER MARKET ADJUSTMENT.

SO THAT'S 1.28 MILLION. CHERYL, SO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A AND B IS REALLY JUST IT'S 180,000.

IT'S NOT AN ADDITIONAL 700 ON TOP OF THE 500? NO SIR. IT'S AN ADDITIONAL 757. ON TOP OF THE 500,000? YES. OKAY. FOR MILLION TWO. OKAY. I'M LOOKING AT TOMMY TO MAKE SURE I HAVE THAT CORRECT, BUT I BELIEVE.

NO. YOU DO. AND SO CHERYL'S RIGHT WITH REGARDS TO STEPHIN MERRITT HAS BEEN PROPOSED IN THE INITIAL BUDGET THAT WE PREPARED THAT I'LL DISCUSS LATER AT THE FINANCE COMMITTEE, AS IS RIGHT NOW, OPTION B WITHOUT ANY PROPOSED TAX RATE INCREASE.

SO THAT ADDITIONAL 757,000 ON TOP OF THE STEP.

OKAY. WELL, I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE A AND B PLANS THOUGH.

LIKE IF WE IF WE IF WE WERE TO PICK A, IT'S GOING TO COST US AN EXTRA 580.

BUT IF WE PICK B IT'S GOING TO COST US AN EXTRA 758, OR IT'S GOING TO COST US AN EXTRA 580 PLUS 758 PLUS 758.

SO THOSE TWO COMBINED, BECAUSE IF YOU TAKE THE 579 AND YOU DIVIDE IT BY THREE TO DO 1%, AND IF THE AVERAGE PAY INCREASE.

IS AN ADDITIONAL 1%, IT'S 193,000 EXTRA. SO I'M JUST TRYING TO IT VARIES ACROSS THE BOARD BASED ON GOES UP OKAY.

YEAH YEAH THAT'S JUST AN AVERAGE PAY INCREASE OKAY.

PERCENTAGE WISE. BUT IT DOES VARY. STILL TO STICK WITH ADAM'S QUESTION.

SEE IS THAT AN ADDITIONAL OVER B OR AN ADDITIONAL OVER A.

IT'S AN ADDITIONAL IT INCLUDES A. AND SO IT'S AN ADDITIONAL 1.28 MILLION FOR OPTION C.

BUT THAT WOULD BE IN ADDITION TO THE 579,000.

SO YOU WOULD ADD THOSE TWO TOGETHER AND THAT WOULD BE YOUR TOTAL COST FOR OPTIONS.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ON THIS SLIDE. SO I'LL TRANSITION TO OUR NON-STEP AND GO BACK TO OUR GENERAL POPULATION FUNDS. SO THIS IS ESTIMATED AMOUNTS SALARY PLUS BENEFITS.

THE TOTAL FOR THESE FUNDS COMES UP TO BE ABOUT 979,000.

AND SOME CHANGE. THIS IS ALSO A 12 MONTH ESTIMATED AMOUNT FOR THE NON-STEP POPULATION.

SO IF I COMBINE THOSE TWO FOR FISCAL YEAR 26 CITYWIDE TOTALS, YOU CAN SEE PROPOSAL A HAS THE GENERAL POPULATION, THE POLICE STEP AND THE FIRE STEP AMOUNTS IN THERE TOTALING 1.56 MILLION.

THE GENERAL FUND IMPACT OF THAT IS 1.21 MILLION.

PROPOSAL B WOULD BE THE 1.73 MILLION, WITH THE GENERAL FUND IMPACT OF 1.38, AND PROPOSAL C WOULD BE 2.26 MILLION, WHICH WOULD GENERAL FUND IMPACT WOULD BE 1.9.

AGAIN, ALL THESE AMOUNTS ARE OFF OF A 12 MONTH ESTIMATED AMOUNT.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THE COMPENSATION BEFORE I TRANSITION TO HEALTH PLAN? OKAY. I'LL MOVE ON TO THE HEALTH PLAN. THEN I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT OUR FISCAL YEAR 25 REVIEW.

AS YOU KNOW, LAST YEAR WE MADE SOME CHANGES TO OUR HEALTH PLAN IN REGARDS TO WHERE THE FUND WAS.

SO I WANT TO TALK ABOUT SORT OF WHERE WE'RE AT CURRENT STATE, WHAT OUR FISCAL YEAR 26 PROJECTION PROJECTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS ARE.

AND THEN BEYOND FISCAL YEAR 26, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

SO AS A REMINDER, FISCAL YEAR 25 WITH OUR HEALTH FUND BENEFITS, THE BACKGROUND INFORMATION ASSOCIATED WITH WHAT WE WERE DOING, MAINTAINING OUR COMPETITIVE BENEFITS FOR EMPLOYEES WHILE ADDRESSING FUNDING GAPS IN THE CITY'S SELF-INSURED MEDICAL AND DENTAL FUND.

BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF 23 TO MAY 2024, WE IDENTIFIED A CONCERN IN THE HEALTH FUND WITH REGARDS TO THAT FUNDING GAP, AND WE KNEW WE NEEDED TO TAKE SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM STEPS TO MITIGATE AND ADDRESS THAT GAP.

[02:30:06]

JUNE OF 2024 TO AUGUST OF 2024. WE ENGAGED THAT SECONDARY BENEFITS CONSULTANT MCGRIFF TO STEP IN AND HELP US FOCUS ON OUR FINANCIAL ANALYSIS RECOMMENDATION, AND THEN ALSO TO HELP US FINISH OUT OUR RFP COMPLETION TO LOOK AT FULLY INSURED VERSUS SELF-INSURED MEDICAL PLAN.

AUGUST 2024 TO OCTOBER 2024. WE CAME BACK AND REVIEWED THE RFP FINDINGS.

STAFF FOR PRESENTATION OF DATA AT THAT TIME SUGGESTED THAT WE NEED TO STAY WITH OUR SELF-INSURED PLAN, BUT WE DID ALSO RECOMMEND SOME PLAN DESIGN CHANGES TO REDUCE THE FUNDING GAP, WHILE CONTINUING TO ENSURE WE HAD A COMPETITIVE BENEFITS PLAN TO RETAIN AND ATTRACT EMPLOYEES. OCTOBER 2024 TO DECEMBER 2024. WE REPAIRED AND COMPLETED OPEN ENROLLMENT FOR BENEFIT PLAN YEAR 25 AND THEN JANUARY 1ST, 2025, WE HAD OUR BENEFIT PLAN CHANGES IN EFFECT.

YOU MIGHT RECALL THIS THIS SLIDE WHERE WE TALKED LAST YEAR ABOUT COUNCIL'S DIRECTION.

WE WERE LOOKING AT A POTENTIAL SAVINGS OF ANYWHERE FROM 475,000 TO 557,000.

BUT WE WERE LOOKING AT AND PROJECTING A TOTAL DEFICIT OF 755, 755,505.

WE AGREED TO SOME POTENTIAL COST SAVING MEASURES THAT WOULD GIVE US AN ESTIMATED SAVINGS AROUND 204,000 4000 205,000.

WE IMPLEMENTED A NAVY GUARD, WHICH WAS A UNITEDHEALTHCARE, TO HELP US NEGOTIATE NEGOTIATE OUT OF NETWORK CHARGES.

WE ALSO REMOVED HEALTH REIMBURSEMENT ACCOUNTS FROM OUR COPAY PLAN.

WE REMOVED THE RUNOFF INSURANCE FOR STOP LOSS.

WE CHANGED OUR SHORT TERM DISABILITY TO A VOLUNTARY PLAN VERSUS A FUNDED BY THE CITY.

AND WE CONTINUE TO REVIEW OPTIONS TO OFFSET EXPENDITURES, WHICH BROUGHT US BACK TO COUNCIL AND WITH STAFF.

AND WE ALSO WENT FORWARD WITH PLAN DESIGN CHANGES.

WE CHANGED OUR COINSURANCE FROM 9020 TO 80, 20, 90, TEN, EXCUSE ME, TO 8020.

WE INCREASED OUR DEDUCTIBLE AND OUT-OF-POCKET LIMITS TO OUR PLAN DESIGN.

WE ALREADY HAD BUDGETED THE 5% INCREASE TO PREMIUMS, SO THERE WAS NO ADDITIONAL CHANGES OTHER THAN WHAT WAS BUDGETED.

WE LOOKED AT OUR HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT, EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS, AND WE REDUCED THAT BY 150 FOR INDIVIDUALS AND 300 FOR FAMILY.

AND THEN WE ADDED MORE PRESCRIPTIONS DRUG TO OUR PRIOR AUTHORIZATION LIST.

SO IT'S IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THERE WAS A A LARGE EFFORT THIS YEAR WITH FINANCE AND HR AND WITH CMOS HELP TO REALLY TAKE A DEEPER DIVE INTO THE HEALTH FUND AND LOOK AT THE ANALYSIS LINE, ITEM BY LINE ITEM OF WHAT WE WERE LOOKING AT WHEN WE DID THAT WORK.

WE ACTUALLY DISCOVERED THAT CONVERTING THE SHORT TERM DISABILITY AND REDUCING THE HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT CONTRIBUTION, WHERE WE PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED THOSE COST SAVING MEASURES TO BE REFLECTED IN THE HEALTH FUND, WE ACTUALLY FOUND THAT THOSE WERE COST SAVING MEASURES THAT WERE EMBEDDED AT THE DEPARTMENT LEVEL, MEANING THE DEPARTMENT SAW THAT REDUCTION, NOT NECESSARILY THE HEALTH FUND.

WE FELT LIKE BECAUSE THERE WAS A TRANSFER AN INDIRECT COST ALLOCATION OF ABOUT 571,000, WE DIDN'T FEEL LIKE IT WAS NECESSARY TO TAKE THAT AWAY FROM THE DEPARTMENT LEVEL AND PUT IT BACK INTO THE HEALTH FUND. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR THAT WITH REGARDS TO IT.

BUT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MADE THAT NOTE, BECAUSE THAT WAS A SHIFT FROM WHAT WE HAD THOUGHT LAST YEAR. SO LET ME GET YOU TO OUR HEALTH FUND, HISTORICAL AND CURRENT PROJECTIONS.

AND SO IN THE MIDDLE THERE YOU WILL SEE TWO COLUMNS THAT START WITH CITY COUNCIL.

AND THEN THERE'S A DATE, AND THERE'S SOME FISCAL YEAR 25 PROJECTIONS BEFORE PLANNED CHANGES AND AFTER PLAN CHANGES.

IF YOU RECALL, WE WERE RIGHT ON TOP OF THE BUDGET TIMETABLE WITH REGARDS TO OUR FIVE YEAR FORECAST AND SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT WE WERE MAKING.

SO WE WERE ADOPTING THE BUDGET AND REVISING THE BUDGET AT THE SAME TIME, LOOKING AT ALL THESE DIFFERENT PLAN CHANGES TO HELP THE HEALTH FUND.

SO YOU'LL SEE THAT 750,000 NUMBER IN THAT SEPTEMBER 9TH COLUMN WITH THE AFTER PLAN CHANGES, WE WERE LOOKING AT A NET REVENUE LOSS TARGETING AND PROJECTED TO BE ABOUT THAT 193 MARK.

WE REVISED OUR FISCAL YEAR 25 BUDGET. NOW I'M GOING BACK A FEW COLUMNS TO THAT 178,000 NET REVENUE LOSS.

SO PRETTY CLOSE. I'D LIKE TO TO SAY OUR PROJECTION FOR FISCAL YEAR 25 IS NOT AS BAD AS 750,000.

WE'RE CLOSING IN. WE'RE SITTING AT PROJECTED WISE, 224 225,000.

SO THAT TELLS ME THAT THE DECISIONS THAT WERE MADE LAST YEAR IN THE HEALTH FUND ARE PAYING OFF WITH REGARDS TO WHAT WE NEED TO SEE HAPPEN.

[02:35:05]

HOWEVER, IF YOU NOTICE, THE CLAIMS COSTS CONTINUE TO INCREASE.

AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'VE GOT TO PAY ATTENTION TO.

BUT EVEN IN OUR FISCAL YEAR 26 PROJECTION WE GO EVEN LOWER.

AND SO WE GO BELOW THE 100,000 MARK. AND WE'RE LOOKING AT A NET REVENUE LOSS OF 76,000.

SO WHAT DO WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT? I THINK LATER TONIGHT, WHENEVER YOU SEE THE FIVE YEAR FORECAST AND THE HEALTH FUND, IT'S GOING TO BE IMPERATIVE FOR US TO CONTINUE TO MANAGE THE FUND.

THAT AND IT REQUIRES ONGOING IMPLEMENTATION OF PROACTIVE STRATEGIES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MAINTAIN THAT MINIMUM GOAL IN THE FUND BALANCE OF 30%. AND SO THAT'S GOING TO BE OUR ONGOING FOCUS WITH REGARDS TO THAT.

SO FOR PLAN YEAR 2026, I'M GLAD TO REPORT WE DON'T HAVE MAJOR CHANGES THAT WE'RE BRINGING TO YOU FOR CONSIDERATION.

WE ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THE 5% INCREASE THAT'S BUDGETED FOR HEALTH AND DENTAL PREMIUMS. WE ARE LOOKING AT OUR CURRENT VENDOR RENEWAL NEGOTIATIONS TO SEE WHERE WE CAN CONTAIN AND REDUCE COSTS.

WITH OUR BENEFIT CONSULTANT. WE ARE GOING TO BE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE FULL RFP FOR ALL BENEFIT PLANS IN 26 FOR PLAN YEAR 2027, AND USUALLY WHEN THAT HAPPENS, WE GET SOME NEGOTIATED RATES THAT WILL HELP US WITH REGARDS TO COST.

WE ALSO ARE BEING AGGRESSIVE ABOUT AN ON SITE MEDICAL CLINIC MODEL, WHERE WE ARE PARTNERING WITH NEIGHBORING CITIES AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO SEE IF WE CAN COME UP WITH A SOLUTION THERE THAT MIGHT CONTAIN OUR MEDICAL COSTS AND PROVIDE A REALLY GOOD OPTION FOR OUR EMPLOYEES TO SEEK MEDICAL CARE.

AND AGAIN, LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, WE HAVE NO PLAN MODIFICATIONS DUE TO THE PROACTIVE APPROACH THAT WE DID FOR THIS PLAN.

YEAR 2025. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE HEALTH FUND? OKAY.

I'M GOING TO CLOSE OUT TONIGHT TO TALK ABOUT OUR FOCUS OF EMPLOYER OF CHOICE, WHICH IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT FOR THE CITY OF BURLESON.

I THINK A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THIS IS WHAT YOU SAW AT THE BEGINNING TONIGHT, WHENEVER WE WERE RECOGNIZING OUR PUBLIC SAFETY PERSONNEL FOR THE GREAT JOB THAT THEY DID.

AND SO RECENTLY WE HAVE GONE THROUGH AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON OUR CULTURE AND VALUES STATEMENTS AND SOME OF WHAT EMPLOYEES FELT WERE IMPORTANT AND WHAT WE SHOULD FOCUS ON IS STRONG LEADERSHIP AND VISION, COMPETITIVE PAY AND BENEFITS, HAVING A HEALTHY WORK CULTURE, CAREER DEVELOPMENT FOR OUR EMPLOYEES, THE WORK LIFE BALANCE AND EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION AND ENGAGEMENT.

AND SO UNDER EACH ONE OF THESE CATEGORIES, I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE ALREADY WORKING ON AND THEN SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'LL CONTINUE TO FOCUS.

SO UNDER STRONG LEADERSHIP AND VISION, WE HAVE A CULTURE PRIORITY.

CITY MANAGEMENT HAS COME OUT STRONG, SAYING THAT THAT WAS A TOP PRIORITY FOR THEM THIS YEAR.

AND SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING TOWARD GETTING EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT IN WHAT THIS CULTURE AND WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE THE CULTURE LOOKS LIKE.

WE'VE BEEN DOING LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT IN OUR TRAINING VALUES INPUT AND THEN OUR MENTORSHIP PROGRAM UNDER COMPETITIVE PAY AND BENEFITS.

WE ARE MARKET FOCUSED. WE STAY ATTUNED TO WHAT THE MARKET IS DOING.

WE WANT TO ATTRACT THAT TOP TALENT. WE ARE INCORPORATING STATE INTERVIEWS, WHICH ISN'T A DEPARTMENT WIDE, BUT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO. WHICH MEANS WE ARE ASKING, WHY ARE YOU STAYING? WHAT ARE WE DOING? WELL, WHAT DO WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON VERSUS THE FOCUS BEING EXIT INTERVIEWS AS THEY'RE LEAVING OUT THE DOOR? WE WANT TO FOCUS ON KEEPING OUR EMPLOYEES AND RETAINING THEM AND THEN CONTINUE TO HAVE COMPETITIVE BENEFITS.

OUR HEALTHY WORK CULTURE IS THAT CULTURE FOCUS, FINDING VALUES, OUR EMPLOYEE BRAND LEADING WITH PURPOSE, AND OUR RECRUITMENT EFFORTS. CAREER DEVELOPMENT IS CONTINUING TO FIND CAREER PATHWAYS AND REALLY ARTICULATING THOSE SO THAT EMPLOYEES WHO COME INTO THE ORGANIZATION AND WANT TO MOVE IN ANY DIRECTION WITH THEIR CAREER CAN HAVE A CLEAR PATHWAY AS TO WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

JOB SHADOWING, LEADERSHIP TRAINING, AND THEN SUCCESSION PLANNING.

WORK LIFE BALANCE. WE HAVE FLEXIBLE WORK SCHEDULES.

WE HAVE TELECOMMUTE FOR CERTAIN POSITIONS. WE WANT TO UNDERSTAND BETTER AROUND SETTING BOUNDARIES BECAUSE THAT'S BEEN SOMETHING EMPLOYEES HAVE ASKED ABOUT AS WELL.

AND THEN WE OFFER SOME VERY RICH PAID TIME OFF PROGRAMS AND THEN EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION ENGAGEMENT.

WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO CELEBRATE SERVICE ANNIVERSARIES, SPOTLIGHT, WHERE WE SPOTLIGHT CERTAIN EMPLOYEE CAREERS, EMPLOYEE COMMITTEES AND GET THEIR VOICE IN WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON CELEBRATIONS, EXPRESSING APPRECIATION.

AND THEN ALSO THE LAST ONE IS RECOGNIZING SERVICE.

SO WE HAVE EMPLOYEES THAT WORK WITH US A FEW YEARS AND THEN THEY MIGHT LEAVE, BUT THEN THEY MIGHT COME BACK.

RIGHT. AND SO WHAT HAPPENS IS THEIR YEARS OF SERVICE BREAKS, DEPENDING ON HOW LONG THEY'RE GONE.

AND WE FEEL LIKE IT'S IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE ALL THEIR YEARS.

WHENEVER WE RECOGNIZE THEIR SERVICE. SOME OF THE BENEFITS THAT COME WITH THAT WON'T BE ATTACHED.

[02:40:04]

FOR EXAMPLE, THEIR TMRS CREDIT. BUT FOR US INTERNALLY, I THINK WE CAN GIVE SOME SERVICE RECOGNITION TO THOSE FOLKS THAT HAVE COME BACK AND HAVE SERVED THEIR TIME HERE WITH BURLESON. SO AS I TRANSITIONED TO A COUPLE OF MY LAST SLIDES, OUR NEXT STEP PROPOSED IS FISCAL YEAR 26 BUDGET IN JULY WILL BE BRINGING BACK ANY FINAL REVIEW OF BENEFITS AND COMPENSATION TO YOU COUNCIL FOR US TO BE INCLUDED IN FISCAL YEAR 26 BUDGET.

WE WANT TO ALSO PRESENT RECOMMENDED CHANGES FOR THE EMPLOYEE HEALTH BOOK FOR PLAN YEAR 2026.

WE HAVE THE. WE'RE GOING TO PRESENT THE RFP SUMMARY OF BENEFIT CONSULTANTS WITH RECOMMENDATION FOR CONTRACT APPROVAL.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON AND WANT TO BRING BACK AND HAVE IN PLACE BEFORE WE GO INTO THE PLAN YEAR.

AND THEN WE'LL ALSO BE LOOKING AT OUR ANNUAL STOP LOSS CONTRACT FOR APPROVAL AND ANY OTHER CONTRACTS FOR OUR THIRD PARTY ADMINISTRATORS.

AND WITH THAT, I AM HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR ADDRESS ANY COMMENTS.

ANYBODY GOT ANYTHING? I'M JUST GOING TO MAKE A COMMENT.

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE REAL POPULAR, BUT I JUST MAKE A COMMENT.

I'M NOT A PENNY PINCHER ON THIS ONE, BUT I THINK THE FIRE AND THE POLICE DESERVE MORE.

I THINK THE 5% HEALTH AND DENTAL COULD BE JUST REVERSED.

3% GO 5% FOR POLICE AND FIRE. EVERYBODY'S LOOKING FOR AN INCREASE IN MONEY.

I TALKED TO A GENTLEMAN OUT HERE AT THE. THAT WAS A POLICEMAN THE OTHER NIGHT OUT HERE.

AND HE WAS FROM BURLESON. HE DRIVES TO GARLAND FOR $20,000 MORE.

I SAID, WHY DON'T YOU COME TO BURLESON? AND HE SAID, CAN'T AFFORD IT. CAN'T AFFORD WHAT I'M GETTING.

POLICE THE SAME WAY THESE GUYS ARE LOOKING FOR.

GET WHAT THEY'RE PAID FOR. WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE.

WE NEED TO BE UP A LITTLE BIT MORE. I KNOW IT'S A TAX INCREASE.

I KNOW PEOPLE BITE MY HEAD OFF FOR A TAX INCREASE, BUT I'LL FIGHT FOR A TAX INCREASE FOR THE FIRE AND POLICE.

THESE GUYS NEED MORE HELP. THEY NEED MORE PERSONNEL.

I'M NOT SAYING YOU CHANGE ANYTHING. IT MAY DISAGREE WITH ALL THE COUNCIL, BUT I DON'T CARE.

I'M TOO OLD IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO ME, SO I JUST THINK THEY NEED MORE.

I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT IT A LITTLE STRONGER. I THINK TOMMY NEEDS TO MAKE SOME CUTS IN SOME DIFFERENT AREAS TO GET THE POLICE AND FIRE A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

I'LL GO WITH THAT. THERE ARE SOME AREAS THAT WE COULD TIGHTEN UP A LITTLE BIT IN OUR BUDGET.

YOU KNOW, WE HAD A VERY NICE BUDGET, EVEN THOUGH WE WERE STILL HAVING TO REDUCE.

I'VE BEEN DOING A GREAT JOB. EVERYBODY DOING A GREAT JOB.

AMANDA, ALL THESE GUYS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB.

BUT SO IS THE FIRE AND POLICE. THEY'RE THE BACKBONE OF THIS CITY.

AND IF WE DON'T PAY THEM, COMPENSATE THEM WELL, WE'RE IN TROUBLE.

THERE'LL BE A LOT OF THEM LEAVE AND THEY LEAVE FOR MONEY.

THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE LEAVING FOR. JUST A COMMENT.

I APPRECIATE THAT, COUNCIL MEMBER. COUNCILMAN ANDERSON, I APPRECIATE IT, AND I AGREE.

POLICE AND FIRE ARE OBVIOUSLY CLEARLY THE TOP OF WHAT WE NEED TO TRY TO TAKE CARE OF, AS WELL AS ALL OF OUR OTHER EMPLOYEES AS WELL.

WITH THAT SAID, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS WITH THE THE MARRIAGE RATE OF BEING LIMITED TO 3.5% RATE INCREASE, THAT ONLY EQUATES, BASED ON OUR ESTIMATES, ABOUT $971,000.

SO THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH WE CAN RELY ON THAT. SO YOU'RE RIGHT IN TERMS OF WHAT THE BALANCE THAT EITHER THROUGH ADDITIONAL BUDGETARY CUTS.

AND AGAIN THIS IS FOR A CONVERSATION FOR THE FINANCE COMMITTEE THAT WILL COME BACK TO FULL COUNCIL AT A LATER DATE.

BUT I AM PROPOSING SOME ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL FOR POLICE AND FIRE BOTH.

SO I WAS TRYING TO BALANCE PAY WITH THE ADDITION OF THE STAFF THAT THEY NEED FOR THE FOR THE AMBULANCE AND ADDITIONAL PD PERSONNEL.

UNDERSTAND THAT. I UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR HANDS ARE TIED IN CERTAIN AREAS.

I WAS ALSO LOOKING AT THAT, AND I'M REALLY KIND OF SURPRISED.

I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M SURPRISED ABOUT IT, BUT I AM.

BECAUSE WE ARE BELOW SEVERAL OTHER. CITIES THAT ARE CLOSE BY.

AND I FEEL LIKE OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT AND OUR FIREMEN, THEY ARE SO MUCH MORE AND THEY DESERVE MORE.

BUT WHERE WE FIND THE THE FUNDS FOR THAT, I DON'T KNOW.

THAT'S YOUR JOB. THAT'S MY JOB. IT IS. BUT WE PUT OPTION C DOWN THERE.

CAN WE AFFORD OPTION C WITHOUT A TAX RATE? NO WE CAN'T.

YOU CAN'T. NO, I KNOW THAT. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

WHY DO WE EVEN PUT OPTION C DOWN THERE IF WE DON'T WANT TO DO IT? WELL, I'LL GO FOR IT. THAT'S FINE. I WAS GOING TO SAY I LIKE OPTION B, BUT TO BE CONTINUED ON WEDNESDAY AT THE FINANCE COMMITTEE, BECAUSE THERE'S OTHER OPTIONS FOR THE ADDITIONAL 3.5%.

CORRECT. OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE? THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT.
