[2. CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DECATUR, TEXAS DESIGNATING THE DECATUR CONFERENCE CENTER GREAT HALL TO THE “MAYOR ROBERT “BOBBY” WILSON GREAT HALL”; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. RESOLUTION R2024-10-19 ]

CONSIDER TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION REGARDING A RESOLUTION FOR THE CITY COUNCIL REGARDING DESIGNATION OF THE DECATUR CONFERENCE CENTER NAMING.

SO, NATE, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

GOOD EVENING.

WE HAVE RECORDS FOR MAYOR SERVICE BACK TO 1923 AND IN THOSE RECORDS WE FOUND THAT THE MAYOR SERVING FROM 1984 TO 2002 WAS ROBERT M WILSON, MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS MAYOR BOBBY.

SO FOR MAYOR BOBBY'S 18 YEARS OF SERVICE AS THE MAYOR, 24 YEARS OF SERVICE.

IF WE INCLUDE HIS COUNCIL TIME, WE BROUGHT THE IDEA TO THE CONFERENCE CENTER ADVISORY BOARD TO CONSIDER NAMING THE GREAT HALL AT THE CONFERENCE CENTER, THE ROBERT M WILSON GREAT HALL AND MAYOR WILSON WAS A KEY ADVOCATE FOR THE BACK THEN THE CIVIC CENTER'S CREATION AND HE WAS THE MAYOR AT THE TIME.

SO THE BOARD FELT IT ONLY FITTING AND CARLA HAS ORGANIZED THE PLAQUES TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

IF YOU GUYS WOULD SO HUMBLY PASS THE RESOLUTION BEFORE YOU.

EXCELLENT. I JUST SAW THAT SIGN AND IT HAS BOBBY WILSON'S NAME ON IT.

I KNOW BOBBY WAS VERY INSTRUMENTAL IN GETTING THAT CONFERENCE CENTER HERE, AND WE APPRECIATE HIM AND HIS COUNCIL THE WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE AND THE LEGACY THAT THEY SET FORWARD.

WE JUST TALKED EARLIER ABOUT THE GREATNESS OF THE CONFERENCE CENTER AND HOW FORWARD THINKING THAT IS FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO HAVE.

AND IT'S SOMETHING WE'RE VERY PROUD OF AND WE APPRECIATE ALL YOUR WORK.

SO COUNCIL FURTHER COMMENT OR QUESTIONS? YEAH, I'LL SAY SOMETHING. BOBBY IS REALLY INFLUENTIAL IN MY LIFE.

HIM AND MY GRANDFATHER ARE BEST FRIENDS, AND I THINK HE PROBABLY CONVINCED MY GRANDFATHER TO RUN FOR CITY COUNCIL OR BE A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER WAY BACK IN THE DAY, WHICH PLANTED THE SEED FOR ME.

AND THE FIRST PERSON I TALKED TO WHEN I DECIDED TO RUN WAS BOBBY.

SO, YOU KNOW, BOBBY'S BEEN A GREAT DEAL TO THIS CITY AND TO ALL OF US, SO.

AWESOME. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR BEFORE WE HAVE A MOTION? I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION.

OH, LET'S HAVE A MOTION THEN.

I'D LIKE TO MOVE THAT.

WE APPROVE RESOLUTION R 2024-1019.

SECOND. SO WE HAVE A MOTION BEFORE US AND A SECOND, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

OPPOSED? SAME SIGN.

WELL, THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

CONGRATULATIONS AND THEN WE'LL HAVE YOUR FAMILY COME UP AS WELL.

SO, FAMILY, IF Y'ALL WANT TO START MAKING YOUR WAY UP, [INAUDIBLE].

ABSOLUTELY. MAYOR, PLEASE DON'T DROP THAT.

I KNOW IT IS HEAVY.

WE WOULD NEED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO COME BACK HERE.

YES. SIR.

CONGRATULATIONS. WE'RE HONORED TO HAVE YOUR NAME ON THE GREAT HALL.

THANK YOU.

AWESOME. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

THANK YOU. OUR PLEASURE.

I WANT ONE. YOU DIDN'T, HERE I AM.

WHERE'S MELINDA? MELINDA. DON'T FALL DOWN THE STAIRS.

YEAH. ALRIGHTY. OH.

THAT'S ONE FOR THE PAPER. ALL RIGHT.

OKAY. AWESOME.

ALRIGHT. NOBODY DESERVES IT MORE.

THANK YOU AS WELL.

PLEASE. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE ALREADY MADE THIS COMMENT EARLIER, BUT THIS REALLY IS HEAVY.

I'M SO SURPRISED.

IT'S LIKE THIS IS ALL RIGHT AND [INAUDIBLE].

EXCELLENT. WE WILL BE PUTTING THIS UP VERY QUICKLY WITH SOME VERY POWERFUL GLUE OR SOME SUBSTANCE.

[00:35:09]

REALLY LONG BOLTS. THANK YOU AGAIN.

YES, SIR.

THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU SIR.

BOBBY, YOU'RE LIKE EVERY ONE HAS ALREADY SAID.

I MEAN, YOU'RE AN INSPIRATION TO US, I TELL YOU.

THERE'S SO MANY COMMUNITY EVENTS THAT YOU'VE BEEN SO ACTIVELY INVOLVED WITH.

I MEAN, YOU CAN'T GO AROUND WITHOUT SEEING BOBBY WILSON.

I FEEL LIKE IF WE HAVE HALF THE ENERGY THAT BOBBY HAS, WE'RE ALL GOING TO BE IN A GREAT PLACE.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR.

OH IT'S BOLTS. IT GETS BOLTED ON.

THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW.

YEAH THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING.

ALL RIGHT.

ITEM THREE HERE.

[3. HEAR PRESENTATION FROM KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES REGARDING UPDATE TO WATER AND WASTEWATER INFRASTRUCTURE INCLUDING NEEDS FOR NEW PROCESSES, EXPANSION, AND ADDITIONS. ]

PRESENTATION FROM KIMLEY-HORN.

MAYOR WILSON OFFERED TO STAY, BUT HE SAID IT LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE LENGTHY AND HE'S HAD HIS FAIR SHARE OF THOSE.

HE. I THINK BOBBY'S PUT IN SOME TIME.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL ITEM THREE FROM KIMLEY-HORN IS PRETTY MUCH A STATE OF WHERE THE CITY'S WATER SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE STANDS AS OF TODAY. IF YOU'LL REMEMBER, FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, WE'VE BEEN WORKING OFF OF A SERIES OF MASTER PLANS AND DOCUMENTS THAT WERE PUT TOGETHER HISTORICALLY BEFORE MY TIME THAT WERE POINTING US IN THE DIRECTION OF EXPANDING OUR WATER PLANT, OUR WASTEWATER PLANT AND UPSIZING AND MAINTAINING IN A GOOD STATE OUR RAW WATER LINE.

SO I'VE ASKED ANDREW AND HIS TEAM FROM KIMLEY-HORN TO COME IN AND GIVE US A KIND OF A CURRENT STATUS UPDATE.

NEXT STEPS THAT WE'LL BE TAKING ON OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, AND THEN JUST KIND OF LEAD US INTO WHAT WE'LL BE LOOKING AT IN TERMS OF DOLLARS FOR PLANT EXPANSIONS AND I WOULD SAY ON ANDREW'S BEHALF, WE'RE NOT LOOKING FOR ANY ACTION OR MOTIONS TONIGHT.

WE'RE JUST SIMPLY GIVING YOU A STATUS UPDATE, BECAUSE OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, WE'LL HAVE SOME PRETTY HEAVY LIFTING TO DO.

SO ANDREW, THANK YOU.

APPRECIATE THE INVITATION TO BE BACK IN FRONT OF YOU.

AS I MENTIONED, I'M ANDREW SIMONSON WITH KIMLEY-HORN.

I'VE ALSO GOT JEFF JAMES AND CONNOR MANLEY WITH ME, JUST IN CASE I CAN'T ANSWER ANY OF THE HARD QUESTIONS, BUT AS REALLY NATE SAID, THIS IS REALLY JUST PROBABLY THE JUMPING OFF POINT FOR LARGER CONVERSATION.

SO WE'VE GOT ABOUT 27 SLIDES SHOULD GO RELATIVELY QUICKLY, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY KEEP IT SHORT FOR YOU.

SO WE'RE GOING TO START WITH WATER, WALK THROUGH WASTEWATER AND THEN FINALLY KIND OF ROLL EVERYTHING UP INTO KIND OF A SUMMARY AS IT MIGHT LOOK FOR THE CITY AS A WHOLE.

WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WATER, AS NATE MENTIONED, JUST DO WANT TO REWIND A LITTLE BIT AND LOOK AT WHAT HAVE WE BEEN PLANNING UP TO THIS POINT WITH OUR PREVIOUS STUDIES? TALK ABOUT SOME RECENT GROWTH PROJECTIONS.

VISIT A LITTLE BIT ON THE RAW WATER THAT THE DISTRICT MIGHT BE DOING.

TALK ABOUT THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT AND THEN FINALLY THE SCHEDULE OF WHAT SOME OF THESE IMPROVEMENTS MIGHT LOOK LIKE AS WE START THINKING LONG TERM.

SO BEFORE WE DO THAT, JUST A QUICK REMINDER THAT YOU ARE PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH ON HOW YOUR WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM REALLY WORKS.

YOU KNOW, THE CITY'S GOT ONE SOURCE LAKE BRIDGEPORT.

THERE'S A PUMP STATION DOWN THERE BY THE DAM, AND YOU'VE GOT A LONG, APPROXIMATELY 12 MILE RAW WATER LINE THAT RUNS ALL THE WAY TO THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT BEFORE BEING PUMPED OUT INTO THE SYSTEM AND I REALLY BRING THIS UP.

SO YOU TO REALLY ILLUSTRATE THAT EVERYTHING IS JUST IN ONE SINGLE LINE.

SO IF YOU HAVE TO UPGRADE EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF IT IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE CAPACITY, IF YOU UPGRADE JUST ONE PIECE OF IT, IT DOESN'T DO YOU ANY GOOD.

SO WHAT I'VE GOT LISTED THERE IS YOUR THREE MAIN COMPONENTS YOUR PUMP STATION, YOUR RAW WATER LINE AND YOUR WATER TREATMENT PLANT ARE ALL AT THREE MGD.

3 MILLION GALLONS A DAY OF CAPACITY, AND I'LL SPEAK MORE TO THE 2.81 MGD NUMBER HERE IN A SECOND.

SO JUST LOOKING BACK AT YOUR PLAN, YOUR PREVIOUS PLANS IN 2016, WE DID A WATER MASTER PLAN THAT ILLUSTRATED SOME OF THESE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'RE STARTING TO CONSIDER TODAY, NAMELY EXPANDING THE WATER PLANT FROM 3 MGD TO 5 MGD AND THEN INCREASING OR UPSIZING THE SIZE OF YOUR RAW WATER LINE IN 2022. WE TOOK THAT A STEP FURTHER AND REALLY DUG INTO THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT ITSELF, AND LOOKED AT STARTING TO PROVIDE COSTS AND WHAT SOME MORE REALISTIC UPGRADES MIGHT BE. SO SOME OF THOSE UPGRADES WERE ADDING AN ADDITIONAL THREE MGD OF CAPACITY TO GET YOU TO SIX MGD, OR 6 MILLION GALLONS A DAY.

UPGRADING YOUR HIGH SERVICE PUMP STATION THAT PUMPS OUT INTO THE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE.

REPLACING YOUR RAW WATER LINE AND THEN ALSO BUILDING A NEW RAW WATER PUMP STATION.

SO LOOKING AT DEMAND PROJECTIONS.

SO REALLY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THIS PAST SUMMER.

SO THIS AUGUST 5TH OF THIS PAST SUMMER, YOU HIT 2.81 MGD.

[00:40:01]

THAT'S WHAT WE CALL YOUR MAX DAY OR MAXIMUM DAY AND THAT'S THE WORST DAY THAT YOU HAD, YOU KNOW, THROUGHOUT THE REST DURING THE YEAR.

YOU KNOW, THE REST OF THE YEAR. I MEAN, IT GOES DOWN QUITE A BIT, BUT IT'S REALLY DURING THE SUMMER WHEN EVERYONE'S WATERING, FILLING POOLS THAT WE REALLY SEE THOSE REALLY HIGH DEMANDS AND THAT'S THE DEMAND THAT WE CARE ABOUT IN COMPARISON TO YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE.

BECAUSE NOW, IF YOU'RE PUMPING CLOSE UP TO 3 MGD, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'VE GOT THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPLY IT.

SO YOU'LL SEE TWO LINES ON THIS GRAPH.

YOU'VE GOT A RED ONE AND A BLUE ONE.

SO RED REPRESENTS THAT MAXIMUM DAY.

IF WE TAKE THAT 2.81 MGD AND YOU KIND OF LOOK AT THAT 2024 LINE, YOU'LL SEE IT'S RIGHT AT 2.81 AND PROJECT OUT WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE WITH THESE ONCOMING DEVELOPMENTS.

YOU CAN SEE THAT INCREASING ABOVE THE THREE MGD AND THEN YOU'LL SEE THE BLUE LINE IS YOUR AVERAGE DAY AND THAT'S JUST ON AVERAGE THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE YEAR AND YOU CAN SEE WE'RE WELL BELOW THE THREE MGD.

SO WHAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT ON THAT RED LINE IS YOU KNOW, THESE ARE OUR I'LL CALL THEM OUR WORST CASE PROJECTIONS.

YOU KNOW, WE TAKE ALL OF THE KNOWN DEVELOPMENTS AND SAY IF THEY'RE GOING TO COME IN OVER THE NEXT FIVE, TEN YEARS, WHAT MIGHT THAT LOOK LIKE? SO IT IS A PROBABLY AGGRESSIVE PROJECTION.

BUT I THINK THE MESSAGE IS THAT, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO THAT THREE MGD AND THERE ARE STILL MORE DEVELOPMENTS ON THE HORIZON AND AS I GO, FEEL FREE TO JUMP IN OR ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS AS WE GO SINCE IT'S A LONG PRESENTATION.

SO JUST A VISIT BRIEFLY ON WHAT THE DISTRICT'S GOING TO BE DOING, AND WE'LL BE IN FRONT OF THEM ON WEDNESDAY.

SO DISTRICT'S GOING TO BE HANDLING THE RAW WATER PUMP STATION AND THE RAW WATER LINE UP TO THE TREATMENT PLANT AND THEY REALLY HAVE TWO OPTIONS THAT WE'VE PROPOSED AND THAT'S GOING FROM THREE MGD TO 4.8 MGD OR GOING FROM 3 TO 6.6 MGD.

AND YOU'LL NOTICE YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THE WATER PLANT BE AT SIX MGD AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE RAW WATER.

THE DISTRICT GOING TO 6.6.

SO TYPICALLY WE HAVE TO SUPPLY JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THE RAW WATER SIDE DUE TO SOME OF THE PLANT OPERATIONS WHERE THEY WASTE SOME OF THE WATER.

SO YOU'LL ALWAYS SEE THAT JUST A LITTLE BIT HIGHER ON THE RAW WATER SIDE.

SO FOR OPTION ONE THEY'LL BE LOOKING AT 15.3 15.4 MILLION AND THEN OPTION TWO WOULD BE 33.9 MILLION AND SO WE'LL BE VISITING WITH THAT WITH THEM ON WEDNESDAY ABOUT THAT AND GREG I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD ON THAT OR.

NO. OKAY.

SO GOING BACK TO THE SCHEMATIC, YOU KNOW, KIND OF THAT LINE OF CAPACITY WE TALKED ABOUT.

SO IF WE UPGRADE THE RAW WATER PUMP STATION AND LINE TO 6.6.

NEXT IN LINE WOULD BE THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT TO INCREASE THE TOTAL SYSTEM CAPACITY.

SO YOU REALLY HAVE TWO OPTIONS ON THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT.

IT'S MIRRORING WHAT WE'RE DOING ON THE RAW WATER SIDE OF GOING FROM 3 TO 4.5 OR FROM 3 TO 6 AND THERE'S REALLY TWO TWO BUCKETS.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT BUCKET ONE IS THAT FIRST OPTION IS AND THERE'S A RANGE.

SO A LOT OF THIS COMES DOWN TO MATERIALS OR PREFERENCES DIFFERENT TYPES OF EQUIPMENT THAT COULD BE CHOSEN.

SO YOU'LL SEE ALL THESE COSTS PRESENTED IN KIND OF BALLPARK RANGES.

OPTION ONE IS A HIGHER RANGE OF 30.5 AND THEN OPTION TWO HAS A HIGHER RANGE OF 32.7 AND THE REASON YOU MIGHT BE KIND OF WONDERING WHY IS THERE ONLY A SMALL INCREASE FOR GOING UP TO SIX IS BECAUSE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING ON OR WHAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING ON THIS IS UPGRADING OR PUTTING IN A MEMBRANE TYPE TECHNOLOGY TO HELP WITH HIGHER WATER QUALITY AND SO WHEN WE BUILD THAT, WE'RE GOING TO GO PUT IN A NEW SET OF BUILDINGS, A NEW SET OF UNDERGROUND PIPING, SO THAT ONCE WE BUILD IT IN THIS KIND OF TAKE, THAT FIRST BIG BITE AT THE APPLE.

THE SECONDARY UPGRADES ARE SMALLER IN NATURE BECAUSE WE'RE JUST NOW PUTTING IN SOME OTHER PIECES OF EQUIPMENT.

BUT THE BUILDINGS THERE, THE ROADS THERE, THE FENCES THERE, ALL THIS STUFF, YOU KNOW, WE'VE TAKEN THAT BIG BITE AT THE APPLE AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THE IMPORTANT POINT THERE IS WITH THIS, THE EXISTING THREE MGD PLANT THAT'S THERE TODAY WILL REMAIN IN OPERATION.

OKAY. SO KIND OF ROUNDING THAT OUT.

SO NOW WE'VE GOT EVERYTHING UP TO 6 OR 6.6 MGD AND THEN LOOKING AT SOME OF THE PROJECTIONS WATER DEMAND PROJECTIONS ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, YOU'LL SEE IN 2028 WE'RE PROJECTED TO BE UP AT 4.75 MGD, AND IN 2030 COULD BE UP TO 5.25 MGD AND THEN IN THE BOTTOM LEFT.

REALLY? IN SUMMARY, THE CITY'S PORTION OF THESE UPGRADES ARE ESTIMATED AT POINT SEVEN.

TALKING ABOUT SCHEDULE AND THE END DATE OR EXCUSE ME, THE BEGIN DATE IS REALLY FLEXIBLE, BUT REALLY THE MESSAGE WE WANT TO HAMMER HOME HERE IS THIS TAKES TIME, AS YOU MIGHT EXPECT TO PERMIT IT, DESIGN IT, CONSTRUCT IT.

IT'S REALLY A THREE AND A HALF YEAR PROCESS.

OR, YOU KNOW, IF EVERYTHING GOES WELL, IT COULD BE LONGER IN SOME CASES.

BUT REALLY, IF WE WERE TO SAY, YOU KNOW, I PUT IN JUNE 2025, IF WE WERE TO START DESIGN AND PERMITTING, YOU COULD PROBABLY EXPECT TO BE DONE WITH CONSTRUCTION

[00:45:09]

DECEMBER 2028.

YOU KNOW, WINTER OF 2028.

SO I'LL PAUSE THERE BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO WASTEWATER AND IF YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR THOUGHTS, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THOSE.

SO WITH THE NEW CONSTRUCTION, WILL THEY WORK INDEPENDENTLY OR WILL IT JUST BE A ONE COMPLETE SYSTEM? THE NEW CONSTRUCTION BEING THE ADDITIONAL CLARIFIERS CAN THEY WORK INDEPENDENTLY OR IF SOMETHING SHOULD HAPPEN, COULD ONE WORK INDEPENDENTLY? YES, THAT WOULD BE. THE THOUGHT IS THAT WHEN THEY COME INTO THE PLANT, THEY KIND OF SPLIT AND THEN ON THE BACK END OF THE PLANT THEY'D RECOMBINE.

BUT A LOT OF THAT'S THE STRATEGY OF NOW IF YOU HAVE AT LEAST THREE MGD OF NEW CAPACITY, YOU HAVE SOME FLEXIBILITY TO DO SOME TYPE OF REHABILITATION ON THE EXISTING ONE AS NEEDED.

WELL, I WOULD SAY LET'S CONTINUE THROUGH THE SLIDES.

AWESOME. SO WASTEWATER VERY SIMILAR AGENDA.

SO BEFORE WE JUMP INTO THAT, I'VE TRIED TO BOIL DOWN YOUR WASTEWATER SYSTEM AS SIMPLISTICALLY AS I CAN.

I BELIEVE YOU HAVE 22 LOCATIONS, SO IT'S PRETTY.

YOU HAVE A LOT OF LIFT STATIONS PUMPING UP OVER THE HILL DOWN TO THE LEGACY PLANT ON THE SOUTH SIDE.

BUT WHAT I'VE DONE IS ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE HAVE TRIED TO SUMMARIZE WHAT IS KIND OF THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CITY AND WHAT I CALL THE WAGNER AND CATHOLIC CREEK BASINS.

SO THAT'S BASICALLY EVERYTHING.

CALL IT NORTH OF 380 THAT PUMPS BACK OVER THE HILL, AND THEN GRAVITY FLOWS DOWN TO THE PLANT AND THEN, YOU KNOW, DEMARCATED THAT WITH THE LIFT STATION SYMBOL.

SO THAT'S PUMPING BACK OVER THE HILL AND THEN THE REMAINDER OF THE CITY GRAVITY FLOWS AND THERE'S A SERIES OF LIFT STATIONS BEFORE COMBINING AND HEADING TO THE LEGACY PLANT.

SO TODAY YOU'RE REALLY ABOUT 0.790.8 MGD, AND YOU HAVE A CAPACITY OF 1.2 MGD AT YOUR LEGACY PLANT TALKING ABOUT YOUR PREVIOUS STUDY.

SO IN THE 2016 MASTER PLAN, WHAT WE LOOKED AT IS A NORTHERN PLANT.

SO DOWN ON THE OFF OF 380 OFF OF THE WAGNER BRANCH AND THAT'S JUST A SCREEN SNIP YOU CAN SEE THERE.

BUT THAT'S OFF OF WEST 380, JUST A LITTLE FURTHER WEST OF THE CIVIC CENTER AND THEN LONGER TERM EVENTUALLY TALKED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL OF ABANDONING ABANDONING THE LEGACY STATION AND MOVING IT FURTHER DOWNSTREAM DOWN MARTIN BRANCH.

IN THE 2022 MASTER PLAN, WE REALLY DUG INTO WHAT WOULD IT LOOK LIKE TO REHABILITATE YOUR EXISTING PLANT AND DO A 1.2 TO 2.4 MGD UPGRADE OF THE EXISTING FACILITY? SO TALKING ABOUT GROWTH PROJECTIONS, AS I MENTIONED, YOUR CURRENT CAPACITY IS 1.2 MGD.

I MENTIONED THAT YOUR AVERAGE DAILY FLOW HISTORICALLY HAS BEEN 0.790.8 MGD.

ON THE WASTEWATER SIDE TCQ THE STATE TREATS IT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY, THEY SAY, AT A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY THAN WATER.

AT 75% OF YOUR DESIGN CAPACITY, YOU HAVE TO START DESIGNING IT AND FINANCING IT AND AT 90%, YOU HAVE TO START CONSTRUCTION. SO YOU CAN SEE THE 0.790.8 9.8.

NUMBER IN RELATION TO THAT 0.9 WHERE YOU SHOULD BE STARTING DESIGN, AND THEN THE 1.08 IS WHEN CONSTRUCTION NEEDS TO BE UNDERWAY AND VERY SIMILAR THAT LINE WILL MIRROR WHAT YOU SAW IN THE WATER.

SAME METHODOLOGY TAKING THOSE DEVELOPMENTS AND THEN PROJECTING OUT WHAT THEY MIGHT LOOK LIKE OVER THE NEXT 5 TO 10 YEARS.

I'M SURE YOU KNOW THIS, THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD.

SO I'M GOING TO ASK YOU, SO WHAT'S THE PERCENTAGE OF THE I JUST DIDN'T GRAB MY PHONE OR MY CALCULATOR? WHAT PERCENTAGE ARE WE AT THE 0.795 VERSUS 1.66? YEAH I THINK IT'S THANK YOU LOOKS ABOUT TWO THIRDS.

BUT YEAH. SO GOING BACK TO OUR SCHEMATIC AND REALLY STARTING TO ENVISION WHAT THAT NORTHERN PLANT MIGHT LOOK LIKE AND REALLY THE NORTHERN PLANT HAS BECOME A TOPIC AGAIN AS WE START TO SEE MORE GROWTH ON THE NORTH SIDE.

AND THE DISCUSSION HAS BEEN ARE WE GOING TO CONTINUE PUMPING IT? YOU KNOW, BUILDING BIGGER AND BIGGER LIFT STATIONS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF TOWN, BUILDING BIGGER GRAVITY LINES THROUGH THE, YOU KNOW, THROUGH DOWNTOWN TO BASICALLY GET IT TO THE LEGACY PLANT. OR ACTUALLY, LET'S HAVE THE DISCUSSION ON THE NORTH PLANT.

SO WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE IS ABANDONING THE LIFT STATIONS THAT ARE CURRENTLY PUMPING THROUGH DOWNTOWN AND GRAVITATING IT DOWN TO YOUR WHAT WOULD BE A NEW PLANT AND SO WHAT WE'RE SHOWING WOULD BE A ONE MGD NEW PLANT OFF OF 380.

YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY IT'S A TO BE DETERMINED WHERE THAT WOULD GO AND THEN THAT FLOW THAT WAS PUMPING OVER THE HILL TO YOUR LEGACY PLANT COULD NOW BE PULLED OFF.

[00:50:05]

RIGHT NOW WE'RE RELIEVING SOME OF THE CAPACITY ON YOUR LEGACY PLANT AND THEN OBVIOUSLY THERE WOULD BE SOME ADDITIONAL FLOW FROM DEVELOPMENT GOING UP THERE, WHERE IN 2028 YOU MIGHT HIT 0.49, YOU KNOW, HALF AN MGD.

GO IN THERE AND THEN ON CALL IT THE SOUTH SIDE, YOU KNOW, THE LEGACY SIDE OF THE SYSTEM.

ONCE WE PULL THAT 0.27 OFF, YOU CAN SEE 0.525.

THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT WE WOULD STILL BE GOING THERE AND THEN WITH SOME ADDITIONAL GROWTH ON THE SOUTH SIDE, YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD CONTINUE TO GROW WHERE YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY BE LOOKING AT AN UPGRADE AT FURTHER DOWN THE LINE.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT APPROXIMATELY.

WELL, IT SAYS ON THEIR 2028, IF THE GROWTH WAS STEADY, WOULD IT LAST TILL 2028 OR WOULD WE BE LOOKING AT A SOONER DATE? THE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ON THE LEGACY.

SO IF WE DID NOTHING, IF WE BUILT THE NEW STATION AND WE REDUCED THE FLOW, BUT WE STILL HAD THE GROWTH ON THE SOUTH SIDE, WOULD WE LAST TILL 2028 BEFORE IT HITS THE 0.945? WELL, AND WHEN I GET TO THE SCHEDULE, YOU'LL SEE WE PROBABLY CAN'T GETTING THE NEW PLANT ONLINE WOULD BE 2028 OR 2029 ANYWAY, BUT OKAY.

YEAH. ON THE DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WE SPEND A YEAR ON THE CURRENT LIFT STATIONS THAT WE HAVE? DO YOU KNOW GREG? I THINK WE BUDGETED LIKE 100,000, 100,000 A YEAR AND THEN SO WOULD WE ELIMINATE THOSE LIFT STATIONS OR WOULD WE KEEP THEM IN CASE WE NEEDED TO DIVERT? THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

SO AND IF WE KEEP THEM, DO WE HAVE TO KEEP THEM MAINTAINED.

I MEAN OBVIOUSLY WE WOULD.

YEAH THERE'S WITH THIS PLAN, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO ABANDON UP TO NINE LIFT STATIONS ON THAT NORTH SIDE THAT COULD NOW GRAVITY FLOW DOWN TO OUR NEW PLANT.

THERE'S 1 OR 2 THAT WE WOULD PROBABLY WANT TO EXPLORE THAT THEY'RE OF SUFFICIENT CAPACITY.

YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ALREADY THERE, THAT WE COULD USE THEM AS A TRANSFER STATION TO RELIEVE FLOW IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS FROM THE NORTH PLANT.

SO THERE MIGHT BE 1 OR 2, WE'D SAY, YEAH, LET'S ACTUALLY CONSIDER KEEPING THOSE 1 OR 2, 1 OR 2 OF THE 9.

OKAY. BUT THOSE.

IF ONE OF THOSE STATIONS GOES DOWN, THOSE LIFT STATIONS ARE EXPENSIVE.

RIGHT. TO.

YES, SIR. I MEAN, TO BUILD A NEW ONE.

YEAH. IT COULD BE QUITE EXPENSIVE AND THEN EMERGENCY REPAIRS, YOU KNOW, THAT ADDS UP PRETTY QUICK.

BUT AND SORRY, THE 100,000.

THAT'S JUST FOR MAINTENANCE, RIGHT? THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE PUMPING COSTS.

THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE IF ELECTRICITY FOR PUMPING AND THAT KIND OF STUFF.

THAT'S JUST MAINTENANCE. HOW OFTEN DO THEY USUALLY GO DOWN? IT JUST DEPENDS.

USUALLY IT'S WEATHER IS WHAT MAKES THEM GO DOWN.

HONESTLY, LIKE ONCE A YEAR, SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR.

2 OR 3 TIMES A YEAR.

OKAY. MAYBE FOUR.

WE GOT GENERATORS THOUGH.

SO IT'S THE LOSS OF POWER THAT USUALLY IS WHAT MAKES THEM GO DOWN.

THE GUYS DO A GOOD JOB KEEPING THE MAINTENANCE UP.

IT'S USUALLY THE POWER FAILURE AS WELL THAT MAKES IT GO DOWN AND I'M SURE THEY ENJOY MAINTAINING THEM TOO, RIGHT? YES, SIR.

WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU OUT FOR A ON SITE DEMO.

I'M GOOD. I GET IT.

SO WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT NEW NORTH PLANT, THERE'S FOUR DIFFERENT OPTIONS, EACH WITH THEIR OWN RANGES AND THIS IS REALLY WHERE WHEN I SAY THIS IS THIS PRESENTATION IS REALLY A JUMPING OFF POINT FOR FURTHER DISCUSSIONS.

I THINK THIS IS PROBABLY THE SLIDE THAT ILLUSTRATES IT IS THERE'S DIFFERENT SIZES AND DIFFERENT TYPES.

I'LL SAY OF MATERIALS THAT YOU COULD USE IN YOUR NORTH PLANT TO ONE SAVE MONEY, BUT THAT MIGHT NOT BE AS ECONOMICAL FOR THE LONG TERM.

SO LOOKING THROUGH YOUR FOUR DIFFERENT OPTIONS, A ONE MGD CONCRETE PLANT COULD COST YOU UPWARDS OF $78.9 MILLION, AND THEN ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE LOWER TIER IS YOU CAN SEE A HALF MGD.

STEEL COULD BE MORE IN THE 23 TO $27 MILLION RANGE, SO SUBSTANTIALLY LOWER.

THOSE INTERCEPTOR LINES THAT I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THAT ARE NECESSARY TO ABANDON OR EXCUSE ME.

THE SECOND ITEM IS THE WAGNER BRANCH INTERCEPTOR.

SO THAT WOULD BE THE MAIN LINE TO BASICALLY GET THE FLOW TO THE PLANT AND SO THAT'S 8.7 AND THEN THERE'S OTHER GRAVITY LINES THAT WOULD COME, YOU KNOW, UP TO STATE STREET, YOU KNOW, TO HIT SOME OF THESE EXISTING LIFT STATIONS.

THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER 7.63 TO ALLOW YOU TO ABANDON A LOT OF THESE LIFT STATIONS.

DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE IN LIFESPAN BETWEEN STEEL AND CONCRETE 20 YEARS AND LIFETIME?

[00:55:03]

YEAH, TYPICALLY STEEL IS LIKE 20 YEARS CONCRETE'S LIFETIME.

OKAY. YEAH.

I MEAN, I THINK THAT'S I MEAN, STEEL IS PROBABLY MORE TEMPORARY IN NATURE.

I MEAN, IT COULD BE BUILT FASTER, IT COULD BE ON THE GROUND FASTER, BUT IT'S JUST INHERENTLY GOING TO NOT LAST AS LONG VERSUS CONCRETE IS AS LONG AS YOU MAINTAIN IT COULD BE, YOU KNOW, 100 YEARS OR LONGER.

BECAUSE THE LEGACY ARE CURRENTLY CONCRETE.

CONCRETE.

OKAY. SO WHAT I'VE DONE ON THIS SIDE IS NOW STARTED ADDING COST TO THIS SCHEMATIC.

SO ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE I HAVE ADDED COST TO EACH OF THOSE ELEMENTS AND YOU CAN SEE THE TOTAL ON THE BOTTOM THERE IS 95.3.

[INAUDIBLE]. YES SIR.

YEAH THAT'S A GOOD POINT.

SO THIS ALL ASSUMES USING THE HIGHEST NUMBER THAT YOU SAW IN THOSE PREVIOUS SLIDES.

YES, SIR. WHAT WOULD BE THE LIFESPAN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 1.0 AND THE 0.5.

SO, YOU KNOW, ASSUMING YOU USE SIMILAR MATERIALS, THE LIFESPAN WOULDN'T BE ANY DIFFERENT.

BUT IT'S REALLY GOING BACK TO THOSE 75%, 75%, 90% RULES THAT WE TALKED ABOUT IS IF IN, LET'S SAY, 2028, YOU GET TO 0.49 MGD.

YOU KNOW, BASICALLY THE MESSAGE WOULD BE AS SOON AS WE GET THE PLAN ONLINE, THEN WE'RE TURNING AROUND AND BUILDING A SECOND PHASE.

SO THAT WOULD BE THE CONSIDERATIONS OF 0.5 MGD WOULD BE OBVIOUSLY CHEAPER.

BUT THEN AS SOON AS THAT'S DONE YOU MIGHT BE TURNING AROUND.

SO IT MIGHT BE MORE ECONOMICAL TO JUST GO AHEAD AND BUILD THE ONE.

CURRENTLY, WHAT'S THE COST INCREASE ON AVERAGE YEAR OVER YEAR FOR THE CONSTRUCTION? TYPICALLY WE'VE SEEN IN I MEAN I'M SURE YOU ALL ARE AWARE OF NOT ONLY COVID BUT RECENTLY WITH INFLATION.

I MEAN IT'S BEEN AT LEAST 10 TO 12% YEAR TO YEAR.

SO IT'S PROBABLY GOOD TO POINT OUT, I MEAN, ALL THESE COSTS ARE IN $2,024, I'LL SAY SO.

EVERY YEAR THAT GOES BY, WE SHOULD BE INFLATING THIS ANOTHER 10 TO 12% TO BE SAFE.

SO IF WE DID 0.5, THAT WOULD TAKE US TO 1.7 MGD CAP.

YEAH, FOR A TOTAL. YES, SIR.

OKAY AND SO THEN OUR 75% WOULD BE.

YEAH. YOU NEED ME TO DO THE CALCULATIONS? WELL, NO, UNFORTUNATELY, THEY LOOK AT IT ON A PLANT BY PLANT BASIS.

OH, YEAH.

CUMULATIVE. LOOK AT THE CITY.

SO AND THIS IS REALLY GOING TO THE YOU KNOW, WE SAY THERE'S 0.27 MGD THAT WE COULD PULL OFF TODAY.

OKAY. YOU KNOW, THEN JUST EVEN WITH THAT, YOU'RE ALREADY HALF THE CAPACITY OF YOUR PLANT, JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE DEVELOPMENT AND NOW WE'RE BACK TO BUILDING ANOTHER.

GOTCHA. WHAT DO YOU KNOW? WHAT'S THE ESTIMATE PER HOUSEHOLD, OR HOW MANY GALLONS PER DAY OR DEVELOPMENT LIKE PER TEN HOUSEHOLDS OR I MEAN, JUST OFFHAND, IT'S PROBABLY FAIR TO SAY 100 GALLONS.

WELL, PROBABLY I'D SAY 208.

THANK YOU. CONNOR.

208. TWO. EIGHT.

PER DAY. PER HOUSEHOLD.

YEP THAT IS. YEAH.

THE NUMBER WE'VE BEEN USING. THAT'S WHY YOU BROUGHT HIM.

THAT'S WHY. CONNOR. THANK YOU.

AND HOW LONG DID YOU SAY THE PERMITTING PROCESS TAKES? SO. YEAH, THANKS FOR BRINGING THAT UP.

SO, I MEAN, THERE'S A, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE BUILDING A NEW PLANT, THERE'S A PRETTY EXTENSIVE PERMITTING PROCESS WITH THE STATE TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THE STREAM DOWN, YOU KNOW, THE STREAM CAN ACCEPT THAT FLOW, THE QUALITY OF WATER THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE PUTTING THROUGH THERE.

SO IT COULD BE UP TO AN 18 MONTH PROCESS TO TO START THAT.

SO THAT WOULD BE ONE OF THE LONGER LEAD TIMES ON THE WASTEWATER SIDE IS PROPERTY AND THEN STARTING THE PERMIT WITH THE STATE AND WITH THIS, ARE WE STILL TALKING ABOUT REUSE OF A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF THE WATER, LIKE BEING ABLE TO CAPTURE AND HOLD ON TO IT A LITTLE BIT LONGER? YEAH. SO THAT'S ANOTHER GREAT POINT.

SO BOTH THE TECHNOLOGIES WE'RE GOING TO PROPOSE AT THE WATER PLANT AND THE WASTEWATER PLANT, BECAUSE IT WOULD TAKE BOTH, WOULD SET YOU UP TO BE ABLE TO DO SOME VERSION OF REUSE. SO THAT TAKES SOME TYPE OF MEMBRANE TECHNOLOGY ON THE WASTEWATER SIDE.

SO YOU'RE DISCHARGING A VERY CLEAN WATER AND THEN IF YOU WERE TO BLEND THAT WITH YOUR RAW WATER COMING FROM THE LAKE, THEN YOU COULD USE YOU WOULD HAVE MEMBRANES THAT ALSO TREAT TO A VERY HIGH QUALITY.

SO THE STATE WOULD ALLOW YOU TO USE SOME TYPE OF REUSE.

NOW THERE ARE OTHER TYPES OF REUSE, SUCH AS COMING DIRECTLY OFF THE WASTEWATER PLANT YOU COULD USE FOR IRRIGATION.

[01:00:04]

SO THERE'S DIFFERENT TIERS OF REUSE BUT USING THIS TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY WOULD GIVE YOU THAT FLEXIBILITY TO PICK WHICH ONES YOU WANT.

BUT IF WE WERE DOING REUSE AND RECAPTURE, WE WOULD HAVE TO DO BOTH WASTEWATER AND WATER TREATMENT FACILITY AT THE SAME TIME OR DO WE EVEN HAVE AN OPTION TO DO THEM AT DIFFERENT TIMES? YOU CAN DO THEM AT DIFFERENT TIMES.

SO I THINK AND THAT'S PROBABLY THE LONG TERM STRATEGY IS, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT A SET AMOUNT OF WATER YOU GET FROM THE LAKE FROM TARRANT REGIONAL.

SO IT MIGHT NOT BE ADVANTAGEOUS TO GO DOWN THAT ROAD OF DOING REUSE UNTIL, YOU KNOW, WE START GETTING CLOSE ON THAT.

SO AS LONG AS WE WOULD, WE WOULD BUILD IT WITH THE OPTION TO LATER BE ABLE TO DO IT.

YEAH AND ONE OF THE BIG BENEFITS OF HAVING THAT NORTH PLANT IS IT'S IN RELATIVELY CLOSE PROXIMITY TO YOUR WATER PLANT, SO IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE DONE DAY ONE, JUST AS LONG AS THE SITE'S BEING SET UP AND IT HAS A LITTLE BIT OF FORWARD THINKING TO SET IT UP THE RIGHT WAY.

YEAH. OKAY.

SO ONE OTHER ITEM I DO HAVE TO POINT OUT.

SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE IDENTIFIED IN THE 2022 STUDY WAS YOUR EXISTING LEGACY PLANT.

THAT EXISTING 1.2 MGD OF CAPACITY DOES NEED SOME WORK TO KIND OF MAINTAIN ITS OPERATIONAL INTEGRITY.

SO IT WOULD NEED A REHABILITATION OF 17.5 TO $20.2 MILLION AGAIN IN 20 2020, $24 JUST TO MAINTAIN ITS EXISTING CAPACITY.

IS THERE A WAITING PERIOD ON THAT? IF, SAY, THE BOND WAS APPROVED TOMORROW, COULD THAT START IMMEDIATELY? YEAH, SO I DON'T.

AND MAYBE JEFF, YOU CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT THAT WOULD NOT REQUIRE A MAJOR AMENDMENT OR A PERMIT AMENDMENT.

SINCE YOU'RE NOT CHANGING THE FLOW OR THE NATURE OF WHAT YOU'RE DISCHARGING.

SO THAT WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT MORE IMMEDIATE THAN A BRAND NEW PLANT OR IF WE WERE TO ADD ADDITIONAL FLOW TO THIS SITE, YOU KNOW, GO UP IN CAPACITY THAT WOULD ALSO TRIGGER A PERMIT AS WELL.

VERY GOOD. OKAY.

SO WHENEVER YOU PUT THAT TOGETHER, THE PREVIOUS AMOUNT FOR THE NEW UPGRADES PLUS THE REHAB BRINGS YOU TO 115.

OKAY AND THEN, YOU KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT THE IMMEDIATE NEED THE REHAB AND THEN THAT FUTURE UPGRADE OF WHAT WOULD EVENTUALLY BE EXPANDING THE CAPACITY AT YOUR LEGACY PLANT TO NOW KEEP HANDLING THE NEW GROWTH ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF TOWN.

THAT WOULD BE IN THE 38 TO $39 MILLION RANGE AND AGAIN, YOU MIGHT CONTRAST THAT WITH, HEY, I JUST SAW ALMOST $80 MILLION FOR A ONE MGD PLANT.

WHY IS IT HALF TO ALMOST, YOU KNOW, ADD 1.2 DOWN HERE AND IT GOES BACK TO WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT IS THIS SITE HAS ALL THE ON-SITE INFRASTRUCTURE.

IT'S GOT THE ELECTRICAL, A LOT OF THE PIPES, THE SITE, THE BUILDINGS WHERE WE'RE NOT HAVING TO DO AS MUCH LIKE WE WOULD ON A BRAND NEW, FRESH PIECE OF PROPERTY.

YEAH. BLESS YOU. OKAY.

AND THEN IF WE WERE TO ADD THAT AND REALLY THAT EXPANSION, THAT LEGACY PART WOULD BE A SLIGHTLY FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD THAT WOULD BE TAKE YOU TO 154, 155. OKAY.

SO TALKING ABOUT WASTEWATER VERY SIMILAR AND WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WASTEWATER REALLY KIND OF ENVISIONING THAT NORTHERN PLANT AND IT REALLY IS KIND OF VERY SIMILAR TO WATER IS IF YOU START IT IN THE SUMMER OF 2025, IT WOULD BASICALLY GET YOU INTO THE WINTER OF 2028, 2029.

SO JANUARY, FEBRUARY OF 29, BASICALLY A THREE AND A HALF YEAR PROCESS TO GET A BRAND NEW PLANT UP AND RUNNING.

[INAUDIBLE]. SAY IT AGAIN.

WE COULD HAVE IT DONE BEFORE THE HEAVY MONTHS OF SUMMER.

YEAH AND THAT'S A GOOD POINT, IS I WHEN ESPECIALLY WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WATER, I LOOK AT IT MORE OR LESS AS HOW MANY MONTHS AND HOW MANY MORE SUMMERS DO YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH? SO IT MIGHT BE FOUR MORE SUMMERS THAT YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH BEFORE THIS PLANT IS UP AND UP AND RUNNING.

OKAY, SO JUST TO SUMMARIZE EVERYTHING WE'VE TALKED ABOUT TO DATE.

SO PUTTING IT IN THE IMMEDIATE BUCKET.

SO ON THE WATER WE TALKED ABOUT 32.7 AND THEN ON WASTEWATER WE TALKED ABOUT FOUR DIFFERENT THINGS.

THAT BRINGS YOU TO 148 TO 7 OF IMMEDIATE NEEDS BETWEEN WATER AND WASTEWATER AND THEN THAT FUTURE UPGRADE IS WE TALKED ABOUT AT THE LEGACY PLANT WOULD BE SEVERAL MORE YEARS DOWN THE ROAD.

BUT COULD IF WE DID, WHAT IF WE DID THE FUTURE UPGRADE NOW AND THE OTHER LATER? WHAT THE NORTHERN PLANT, THE NORTHERN PLANT LATER AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE COULD EXPLORE.

BUT REALLY IT GOES BACK TO THOSE LIFT STATIONS THAT WE DON'T WE HAVEN'T DEVELOPED DOLLARS FOR IS IF WE'RE DOING IF WE'RE EXPANDING THE LEGACY PLANT, ALL THE FLOW THAT AT LEAST 0.5 MGD, THAT WOULD BE ON THE NORTH.

[01:05:01]

WE NOW HAVE TO GET THAT TO THE SOUTH AND THAT WOULD BE MORE LIFT STATIONS, YOU KNOW, MORE GRAVITY LINES.

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HOW MANY LIFT STATIONS YOU WOULD TAKE TO.

IT JUST DEPENDS ON THE DEVELOPMENT, RIGHT? YEAH AND THAT'S KIND OF THE KIND OF THE NATURE OF, YOU KNOW, WHERE THE CITY IS LOCATED.

IT'S ON A HILL, WHICH IS GREAT, BUT, YOU KNOW, EVENTUALLY, UNFORTUNATELY, EVERYTHING FLOWS AWAY.

SO IT TAKES A LOT OF LIFT STATIONS TO RECENTRALIZE EVERYTHING.

SO AS THOSE DEVELOPMENTS COME IN, WE'RE JUST IT WOULD BE MORE LIFT STATIONS AND MORE KIND OF I CALL THEM REGIONAL LIFT STATIONS TO CENTRALIZE THEM AND THEN PUMP THEM OVER THE HILL.

YEAH, I AGREE THAT DOING THE NORTH LIFT STATION IS GREAT IN THEORY, BUT DO UPGRADING THE SOUTH IS A THIRD OF THE COST. PLUS IT GETS US TO THE POINT WHERE ALL THESE HOUSES ARE ONLINE NOW PAYING TAXES.

LIKE RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE THE TAX INFRASTRUCTURE TO DO THE NORTH SIDE.

SO IF WE DID JUST THE SOUTH SIDE UPGRADE, GOT THAT READY FOR 39 MILLION AND THEN IN THE FUTURE DID THE NORTH, WE WOULD AT LEAST HAVE THAT TAX ROLL AT THAT POINT.

I MEAN, THIS IS GOING TO PUT A LOT OF PRESSURE ON OUR CITIZENS FOR TAX-WISE.

THAT IS DEFINITELY A STRATEGY TO CONSIDER AND ONE THING I'LL ADD IS WHERE THIS IS GOING IS UPCOMING SCHEDULE.

SO WE'LL BE IN FRONT OF YOU A LOT THIS FALL IS WILL BE COMING BACK WITH IMPACT FEES AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT YOU JUST MENTIONED OF HOW DOES PART OF HOW DOES THIS GET PAID IS BY WE'RE GOING TO BE UPDATING YOUR IMPACT FEE STUDY.

SO ROLLING ALL OF THESE COSTS INTO A STUDY BOTH WATER WASTEWATER AND ROADWAY TO SAY WE NEED THIS MANY DOLLARS OVER THE NEXT TEN YEARS, OVER THIS NEXT TEN YEARS, THIS IS HOW MANY RESIDENTS OR DEVELOPMENTS WE SEE COMING IN, WHAT'S THEIR FAIR SHARE THAT THEY SHOULD BE CONTRIBUTING TOWARDS PAYING FOR THIS INFRASTRUCTURE? SO IN 20 ON NOVEMBER 25TH, WE'LL BE BACK TO TALK ABOUT THE CIP, WHICH YOU'VE ALREADY SEEN A VERSION OF THAT TODAY, AT LEAST ON THE TREATMENT.

ON THE TREATMENT SIDE AND THEN DECEMBER 9TH WOULD BE A FULL BLOWN STUDY AND ADOPTION, WHERE WE'LL TALK ABOUT RATES AND KIND OF ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT DOLLARS AND THEN CLOSELY CORRELATED WITH IMPACT FEES ARE THE WATER WASTEWATER RATES AND SO THAT WOULD BE POTENTIALLY ON JANUARY 13TH, WHERE WE'D BE BACK IN FRONT OF YOU TO TALK ABOUT THAT POTENTIALLY.

COULD YOU ACTUALLY DO THE UPGRADE ON THE SOUTH SIDE WITHOUT DOING THE REHAB.

SAY THAT ONE.

COULD WE DO IT WITHOUT IT? THEY COULD BE DONE INDEPENDENTLY WHERE YOU COULD BUILD THE NEW AND THEN, YOU KNOW, GIVE YOU A LITTLE FLEXIBILITY TO DO THE REHAB.

BUT BASED OFF OF WHAT WE SAW, I MEAN, THAT REHAB DOES NEED TO TAKE PLACE IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.

DOING THE UPGRADE, WOULD IT PUT MORE STRESS ON THE EXISTING SYSTEM IF THE REHAB WASN'T DONE? I THINK BY DOING THE NEW, THAT MIGHT GIVE YOU SOME POTENTIAL TO DIVERT FLOW TO THE NEW SO THAT YOU'D HAVE FLEXIBILITY TO TAKE CERTAIN UNITS OFFLINE AT THE EXISTING.

SO THAT'S THE END OF MY PRESENTATION.

I KNOW THERE WAS A LOT MADE OR GREG, IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD, COMMENT ON.

ANDREW I THINK THAT'S PLENTY TO DIGEST FOR TONIGHT.

YOU'RE ALWAYS BRINGING US GREAT NEWS.

I APOLOGIZE.

WELL, AGAIN, VERY INFORMATIVE.

IT'S A GOOD BASIS TO HAVE AND LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR UPCOMING COMMUNICATIONS ON IMPACT FEES.

SO LOOK FORWARD TO THAT.

THANK YOU.

APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT.

(STAFF INITIATED APPLICATION 2024 01—CITY OF DECATUR) (THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMEND APPROVAL, 5-0, CHAIRMAN LEMOND AND VICE-CHAIRMAN KLOSE ABSENT.) ORDINANCE 2024-10-29 ]

ITEM FOUR IS A PUBLIC HEARING ITEM AND WE WILL OPEN THIS ITEM 4 AT 6:43.

CONSIDER FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE AND A PUBLIC HEARING.

GIVING ALL INTERESTED PERSONS THE RIGHT TO APPEAR AND BE HEARD.

THIS IS ORDINANCE 2024 1029.

GOOD EVENING. MAYOR COUNCIL.

BRING TO YOU A STAFF INITIATED ZONING ORDINANCE CHANGE TONIGHT.

THERE ARE TWO PORTIONS TO THIS.

I'LL TACKLE THEM.

IT'S STILL ONE ITEM, BUT I'M GOING TO TACKLE THEM AS INDIVIDUAL ITEMS SO THAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT THEM INDIVIDUALLY.

THE FIRST ONE IS RELATED TO TATTOOS AND BODY PIERCING AND SO THIS IS WE HAD A PROPERTY OWNER FROM DOWN IN THE SQUARE THAT APPROACHED US ABOUT BRINGING A TATTOO SHOP TO THE SQUARE, AND THAT DID NOT WAS NOT ALLOWED UNDER THE CURRENT ZONING ORDINANCE THERE.

CURRENTLY, TATTOOS ARE ONLY ALLOWED IN A C-2 ZONING DISTRICT.

THE C-2 ZONING DOES BACK UP TO THE C-1 ZONING ON THAT SIDE OF THE SQUARE AND SO WE SAT DOWN AND TALKED TALK THROUGH OPTIONS WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER ABOUT WHAT MIGHT BE A POSSIBILITY FOR THIS AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE CAME UP WITH WAS CREATING AN SUP FOR THAT USE IN THE C-1A ZONING DISTRICT, THAT STILL ALLOWS THAT THAT USE TO BE PROPOSED IN THAT ZONING DISTRICT, WITH

[01:10:09]

APPROVAL THROUGH PLANNING AND ZONING AND CITY COUNCIL OVERSIGHT OF THOSE AND ANY REGULATIONS THAT MIGHT GO INTO PLACE WITH THAT.

SO THAT WAS THE THE FIRST ONE AND THAT WHAT THAT WOULD DO IS THAT WOULD ALLOW TATTOOS AND BODY PIERCING STUDIOS TO BE ALLOWED IN THE CO C1 AND C1- A ZONING DISTRICTS WITH A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT AND IT WOULD ALLOW IT BY RIGHT IN THE C-2 THAT IS ALREADY THERE.

WE DID EXPAND THAT TO LEHIGH AND PD DISTRICTS AS WELL.

WE DID TAKE THIS BEFORE THE MAIN STREET BOARD TO DISCUSS THIS, ESPECIALLY WITH THE DOWNTOWN AREA ON THIS.

IT WAS VERY FAVORABLY RECEIVED BY THAT BOARD TO BRING MORE WALKABLE TRAFFIC INTO THE DOWNTOWN AREA AND THEY DID MAKE A RECOMMENDATION AS A BOARD TO APPROVE THIS AND THEN WE TOOK IT TO PLANNING AND ZONING, AND THAT ALSO RECEIVED A RECOMMENDATION FROM THAT BOARD FOR APPROVAL.

ALL RIGHT. WE'LL ALSO TALK ABOUT THE SMOKE AND VAPE SHOP.

THIS PARTICULAR USE WAS CONTINUED UNDER GENERAL RETAIL SALES.

IT'S WHAT WE CONSIDERED THAT BEFORE.

WE DID RECEIVE SOME POSSIBILITIES OF BRINGING SOME SMOKE AND VAPE SHOPS DOWNTOWN.

WE HAD A DEVELOPER THAT WANTED TO BRING THAT USE AND POSSIBLY BRING IT DOWNTOWN.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE SET BACK AND TALKED ABOUT ON THAT WAS THAT WITH THE LARGE QUANTITIES, WHENEVER YOU BRING IN THESE VAPE PENS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THEY WEREN'T RUN OFF OF LITHIUM BATTERIES.

IT CAN CREATE A FIRE HAZARD.

WE WANTED TO PUT SOME OVERSIGHT IN PLACE FOR OUR DOWNTOWN AREAS AND THE CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THOSE BUILDINGS THAT ARE INCLUDED WITH THAT AND SO THIS WOULD ALLOW THE A VAPE SHOP OR SMOKE SHOP TO GO INTO ONE OF THESE BUILDINGS DOWNTOWN, BUT IT WOULD ALSO REQUIRE A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT, AND THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO REGULATE THE AMOUNT OF INVENTORY THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO HAVE ON HAND.

THEREFORE PROTECTING OUR DOWNTOWN AREA WITH THAT, BECAUSE OF THE THE CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE BUILDINGS THAT ARE THERE AND THAT ONE, WE DID CREATE A WHOLE NEW USE CATEGORY OF SMOKE AND VAPE SHOPS.

C-O ZONING DISTRICTS DO NOT ALLOW FOR READY INVENTORY OF SELLS OR SELLS MERCHANDISE.

SO WE DID NOT INCLUDE IT WITH THE C-O ZONING DISTRICT, BUT WE DID ADD A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO C-1 AND C-1A ZONING DISTRICTS, AND CONTINUED THE USE IN THE C-2, LEHIGH AND PD DISTRICTS.

AS FAR AS THE LEGALITY OF THIS, IT'S COVERED IN THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE 211 AND ALLOWS THE MUNICIPALITY TO SET REGULATIONS FOR LEGALLY AMENDING THE ZONING DISTRICT AND THAT'S INCLUDED IN THERE.

DID WANT TO PROVIDE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION ON THE ZONING DISTRICTS THERE.

WITH THE C-2 ZONING DISTRICT, IT DOES PROVIDE FOR A RELATIVELY HIGH INTENSITY OF GENERAL RETAIL SALES AND SERVICES USUALLY ORIENTED TO THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARES WHERE THE C-0, C-1, AND C-1 ZONING DISTRICTS ARE A LITTLE BIT MORE RESTRICTIVE IN WHAT THEY ALLOW CO BEING PRIMARILY PROFESSIONAL, ADMINISTRATIVE AND OFFICE BUILDINGS.

C-1 PRIMARILY LOW INTENSITY RETAIL AND SERVICE USES NEAR EXISTING RESIDENTIAL AREAS AND THEN THE C-1A ZONING DISTRICT WHICH HAS THE INTENDED USE OF PROVIDING FOR AND AND STRENGTHENING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MIXED USE, PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED NATURE OF THE EXISTING NINE BLOCK HISTORIC DOWNTOWN AREA THAT SURROUNDS THE COURTHOUSE.

WE DO HAVE SOMEONE THAT IS PROPOSING THE TATTOO SHOP THAT WILL BE FOLLOWING UP ON THIS.

IF THIS IS APPROVED, WE DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING THAT'S CURRENTLY PUSHING FOR A SMOKE OR VAPE SHOP IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA, BUT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE PREPARED FOR THAT.

[01:15:04]

WE DID TAKE BOTH OF THESE TO MAIN STREET FOR THEIR INPUT, RECEIVED THAT AND RECEIVED A RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL, AND TOOK BOTH OF THEM TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND RECEIVED THAT RECOMMENDATION FROM THEM ALSO.

SO JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, SPITBALLING, IF WE HAD A NONSMOKING ORDINANCE IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA OUTSIDE, HOW WOULD THAT AFFECT THIS? IT WOULD NOT IMPACT THIS SIGNIFICANTLY AND OTHER THAN NOT ALLOWING THE USE OF THOSE PRODUCTS IN THAT FACILITY, YOU COULD STILL SELL THEM.

THEY'RE STILL LEGAL TO SELL, BUT YOU COULD NOT USE THE PRODUCTS IN THOSE AREAS.

OTHER QUESTIONS DO HAVE WE DO HAVE THE PROPERTY OWNER HERE THAT IS MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS AND WILL BE BEFORE YOU LATER WITH THIS IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THAT ALSO.

ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE FROM THE CITY? NO, SIR. ALL RIGHT.

SUSIE, DO WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE THAT DID SIGN UP FOR THIS? NO, SIR. ALL RIGHT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? ALL RIGHT. THIS IS A FIRST READING, AND WE WILL CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:51.

CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON A SECOND PART.

PROJECT REQUEST FROM THE EDC.

SO HOLZBOG DANGEROUSLY LEFT ME IN CHARGE OF THIS ITEM ON HIS BEHALF.

YOU MAY RECALL.

WHAT'S THAT? OH, YEAH.

YOU MAY RECALL A SIMILAR PROJECT JUST A FEW MONTHS BACK, WHICH WAS INSIDE OF OUR LAST BUDGET CYCLE.

THE EDC HAS GENEROUSLY APPROVED US TO DO ANOTHER PROJECT.

THE EXACT SAME CALIBER.

THAT WAY, BOTH FIELDS AT HARMON GET REHABBED AND THEIR DRAINAGE GETS ADDRESSED AT THE SAME TIME.

THE GRANT FROM THE EDC LANDS IN TWO DIFFERENT BUDGET YEARS.

SO THAT WOULD BE OUR REQUEST TONIGHT AS YOU CONSIDER APPROVING US TO MOVE FORWARD ON THAT PROJECT.

EXCELLENT. WELL, WE APPRECIATE THE DECATUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND THEIR GENEROSITY.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? LOOK FOR A MOTION? APPROVE. [INAUDIBLE].

I'LL MOVE THAT.

WE APPROVE THE SECOND PART.

PROJECT REQUEST FROM THE DECATUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION FOR FUNDING IN THE AMOUNT OF 100,000 TO BE APPLIED IN THE PROJECT COST FOR THE RENOVATION OF THE BASEBALL FIELD AT HARMON PARK AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.

[01:25:06]

WE HAVE A SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE AND THOSE OPPOSED? SAME SIGN.

ALL RIGHT. THAT PASSES.

THANK YOU. ITEM TEN CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO APPROVE A REAL ESTATE SALES CONTRACT WITH DOUBLE CREEK CAPITAL.

[10. CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO APPROVE A REAL ESTATE SALES CONTRACT WITH DOUBLE CREEK CAPITAL, LTD TO ACQUIRE THE LAND TO BUILD THE FIRE STATION NO. 2 INCLUDING EARNEST MONEY IN THE AMOUNT OF $20,000.00 AND A TOTAL PURCHASE PRICE NOT TO EXCEED $1,089,000.00 AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS. ]

MAYOR AND COUNCIL. IF YOU WILL RECALL, IN 2022 WE SET OUT TO PURCHASE LAND FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

WE ALSO DISCUSSED AT THAT TIME PURCHASING LAND FOR FIRE STATION NUMBER TWO.

IN THE LAST CO ISSUANCE, 2024, WE APPROVED FUNDING FOR ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER WORK ON FIRE STATION NUMBER TWO SO THAT WE COULD MOVE FORWARD, SECURING A BOND FOR 2026 TO ACTUALLY BUILD FIRE STATION NUMBER TWO, WITH A CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK ON BOARD AND A DOLLAR VALUE IN SIGHT. SO KIND OF WORKING BACK FROM THAT POINT, OUR PARTNERS AT DOUBLE CREEK CAPITAL HAVE HELPED US WITH A SITE THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED.

CHIEF BENNETT AND HIS TEAM HAVE VETTED THE LAND, AND I'LL LET HIM TALK MORE SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THAT.

BUT I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE LAND AND THE LOCATION FIRST.

SO, FUTURE HOME OF FIRE STATION NUMBER TWO WILL BE LOCATED SOUTH 51 NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF 51 AND PRESCOTT ROAD.

IT'S IDENTIFIED IN A LITTLE BLUE BOX THERE IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE SENIOR LIVING FACILITY THAT'S OVER THERE.

SO YOU COULD SEE SAME LOCATION IDENTIFIED IN RED ON YOUR LEFT, AND THEN THE ASSUMED DISTRICT THAT FIRE STATION WOULD COVER WOULD BE OUTLINED IN THE GREEN, WHICH IS ON THE RIGHT.

SO YOU CAN SEE THE FIRE STATION CENTRALLY LOCATED THERE ON SOUTH FM 51 NEAR PRESCOTT ROAD.

IF WE LOOK AT THE CURRENT FIRE STATION WHERE IT'S SITUATED, YOU CAN SEE THAT IT SERVES A LARGE PIECE OF PROPERTY, WHICH IS GENERALLY, WE SAY EAST OF HIGHWAY 287.

THE NEW PROPOSED SITE WOULD BE WEST OF HIGHWAY 287.

AS YOU KNOW, IT'S A CHALLENGE TO GET FROM ONE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO THE OTHER.

SO THAT'S WHY WE'VE IDENTIFIED THIS SITE AND ITS LOCATION WILL SERVE, AS YOU CAN SEE, A LOT OF THE DIFFERENT HIGHLIGHTED AREAS.

THOSE ARE DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE INBOUND THAT THIS FIRE STATION WILL COMPLEMENT AND SERVE WELL.

PLUS IT WILL PUT US ON THE 51 IMMEDIATE 51 CORRIDOR.

SO IF WE PAIR THOSE TOGETHER, YOUR FIRE STATIONS MAY LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN THE FUTURE AND CHIEF BENNETT MAY HAVE DIFFERENT WORDS FOR THIS, BUT ESSENTIALLY, FUTURE STATION DISTRICTS COULD LOOK JUST LIKE THIS OR SOMETHING SIMILAR.

AS THE TOWN CONTINUES TO GROW AND THE WORKLOAD, THE WORKLOAD BECOMES BALANCED OUT OF TWO FIRE STATIONS.

SO I'LL LEAVE THAT UP THERE FOR JUST A MOMENT AS I TALK ABOUT OUR PARTNERS AT DOUBLE CREEK CAPITAL, WHICH THEY'RE HERE WITH US TONIGHT.

ONCE WE IDENTIFIED THE PIECE OF PROPERTY, WE ASKED THEM AND THEY OFFERED AND WE ASKED THEM TO DEVELOP AN EARNEST MONEY CONTRACT WITH US SO THAT WE COULD GO AHEAD AND PUT SOME DOLLARS DOWN TO SECURE THAT SITE TO ALLOW THE ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER WORK TO MOVE FORWARD.

WHILE WE KIND OF LET THE WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, THE DUST SETTLE ON THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SITE AND MAKE SURE THAT PROJECT FINISHES ON TIME AND ON BUDGET, AND WE KEEP MOVING FORWARD WITH OUR BOND FUNDED ARCHITECTURE WORK ON FIRE STATION NUMBER TWO.

SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR YOU TO APPROVE AN ITEM 11 IS AN EARNEST MONEY CONTRACT FOR US TO PUT DOWN $20,000 TOWARDS THE PURCHASE OF THIS LAND WITH A NOT TO EXCEED DOLLAR VALUE OF $1,089,000.

OKAY AND I'M HAPPY TO PAUSE RIGHT THERE BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO ITEM 11 AND WALK THROUGH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ON THAT.

OH, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? OKAY. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, THERE'S TWO PIECES OF PROPERTY RIGHT THERE.

ANY REASON WHY? WE WEREN'T ON THE BY THE FIRE STATIONS.

NOT ON THE FIRST QUARTER CORNER.

CHIEF, IF YOU WANT TO ANSWER THAT, I'M HAPPY TO LET YOU ANSWER THAT.

IT'S ACTUALLY A TWO PART ANSWER.

DOUBLE CREEK CAPITAL WAS HOPING TO RETAIN A PIECE FOR THEIRS TO LINE UP WITH THEIR MEDICAL BUILDINGS THAT COME ACROSS.

FOR US, THAT PUSHES US OUT ON OLDER UNION TO WHERE WE CAN TAKE A LEFT OR A RIGHT TO GET US IN EITHER DIRECTION, BACK ON TO 51 AND TO BE QUITE HONEST, THE ROADWAY ON THAT SIDE IS BETTER AND WE DON'T HAVE TO BUILD NEW ROAD COMING ON THAT SIDE.

SO IT KIND OF FIT US A LITTLE BIT BETTER AND BEING DEEPER WITH THE WAY WE WANTED TO LAY IT OUT.

[01:30:03]

THANK YOU CHIEF. MISS HILTON, DID THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? THANK YOU. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

ALL RIGHT NOW THIS IS ITEM TEN, SO WE'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CITY MANAGER TO PUT DOWN EARNEST MONEY IN THE AMOUNT OF $20,000 IN A TOTAL PURCHASE PRICE NOT TO EXCEED 1.089 MILLION, AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.

SECOND. SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THAT ITEM? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE, OPPOSED SAME SIGN AND WILL I DIDN'T I JUST GET AN AFFIRMATIVE FROM.

WELL THANK YOU. YES, SIR AND THANK YOU WILL.

ITEM 11 CONSIDER OR TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO APPROVE THE ARCHITECT CONTRACT FOR FIRE STATION NUMBER TWO.

[11. CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO APPROVE ARCHITECT’S CONTRACT FOR FIRE STATION NO. 2 FOR ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN SERVICES WITH HOEFER WELKER, LLC IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,167,055.00 AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS. ]

ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH THIS? CAN YOU GO AHEAD? I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY ONE THING.

111. OKAY.

VERY GOOD APOLOGIES.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL, ITEM 11.

NOW THAT WE HAVE SECURED OUR FUTURE WITH THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY, I WANT TO PRIMARILY LET CHIEF BENNETT TAKE YOU FROM HERE AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT WHERE WE'RE AT WITH OUR CONSULTANTS AND THE TEAM THAT WILL EVENTUALLY BE HIS ARCHITECTURAL FIRM.

SO, CHIEF, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO YOU TO DO SOME INTRODUCTIONS.

THANK YOU. THE FIRST THING I WANT TO DO IS KIND OF REMIND YOU FROM WHEN WE BROUGHT TO YOU THE FTCS CONTRACT, WHICH IS OUR OWNER AGENTS OPERATING ON THE CITY'S BEHALF.

I DO WANT TO REMARK.

CARRIE AND JERRY BOTH ARE HERE TONIGHT, AND THEY HAVE ALREADY SHOWN TO BE INVALUABLE TO MOVING THIS PROJECT AND MAKING SURE THERE'S ALL THE I'S ARE DOTTED AND T'S ARE CROSSED, WHICH I LIKE AND IT ALLOWS ME TO CONTINUE TO BE THE FIRE CHIEF.

SO WITH THE NEXT, I'D LIKE TO COMMENT ABOUT THE PROCESS.

ONCE WE RAN THE RFQ TO SELECT, A ARCHITECTURAL FIRM.

WE RECEIVED 17 SUBMITTALS.

WE WERE QUITE BLOWN AWAY, AND IT'S INCREDIBLY HARD TO MAKE DECISIONS.

AGAIN, WITH FTC'S ASSISTANCE GUIDING ME AND THE COMMITTEE THAT I'VE PUT TOGETHER WITH VOLUNTEERS ALL THE WAY FROM FIREFIGHTERS ALL THE WAY UP TO ME AND THERE ARE SEVEN OF US AND THE BULK OF THAT IS THE PEOPLE THAT WORK IN THE FIREHOUSES.

SO WE WENT THROUGH A GRADING PROCESS.

WE THEN WENT THROUGH A INTERVIEW PROCESS WITH THE TOP THREE.

WE ALSO SPENT A COUPLE OF DAYS GOING AND LOOKING AT PROPERTIES THAT THESE ARCHITECTS OF THE TOP THREE HAD BUILT.

SO WE'VE PUT A LOT OF TIME INTO THIS.

AFTER THE END OF THE INTERVIEWS.

HALVOR WELKER CAME TO THE TOP.

THEY ROSE.

WE FELT LIKE THE PRINCIPAL WHO'S HERE TONIGHT, JAMES PEARCE, IS A FIT FOR DECATUR.

HE HAS REALLY GOOD VISION ON THE GROWTH HIMSELF AND SO WE ALLOWED TO FDCS TO ENTER IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH THEM AND BRING THIS CONTRACT FORTH TONIGHT.

THAT LEGAL HAS APPROVED.

EXCELLENT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL? MAYOR. THE ONLY THING THAT I WOULD ADD IS EXHIBIT TWO IS A CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE THAT WE DON'T HAVE YET.

SO I WOULD LIKE IF YOU SO ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS CONTRACT, THAT IT BE PENDING RECEIPT OF THE CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE.

VERY GOOD. THANK YOU COUNSEL.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL AND MAYOR? COUNCIL. I DO KNOW THAT JAMES BEERS WOULD LOVE TO SAY A FEW WORDS AND INTRODUCE HIMSELF TO THE TO YOU ALL AND I THINK OVER JUST A MINUTE YOU'LL FIND OUT WHY WE CHOSE JAMES AND HIS FIRM.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THANKS FOR HAVING US.

AND THANKS FOR THE FOR THE PROCESS AND THE KIND WORDS AND TO ALL THE EFFORT THAT GOES IN, WE KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO BRING THIS TYPE OF PROJECT TO LIFE AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS.

SO WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT PROCESS.

THE PROCESS WAS ENLIVENING FOR US.

WE BRING A LOT OF EXPERIENCE TO THE TABLE.

I'M PRINCIPAL JAMES BEERS WITH HAYFORD WALKER AND WE HAVE A GREAT TEAM.

I THINK THE THING THAT WE DO THINGS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY IS, IS WE'RE VERY INTEGRATED TO THE WAY WE LOOK AT THINGS IN A VERY HOLISTIC FASHION.

SO TO THE POINT OF YOU GUYS LOOKING AT ALL THOSE PIECES OF THE PUZZLE AS YOU GUYS APPROVED GOING FORWARD, WE DO THE SAME THING WITH OUR EFFORT.

SO WORKING WITH CHIEF AND STAFF AND KIND OF SEEING HOW THEY WORK AND OPERATE, THAT'S GOING TO BE AN IMPORTANT STEP FORWARD.

WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. WE HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH JERRY AND CARRIE AND FCDS AS WELL TOO.

SO WE COULDN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH, COULDN'T BE MORE HAPPY TO BE OUT HERE WITH YOU ALL.

AND I THINK HTML LAST WEEK IS SAID TO BE A VERY EXCITING TIME TOGETHER.

[01:35:04]

I TRUST THAT WILL BE THE CASE.

SO WE'RE VERY HAPPY TO BE HERE.

SO I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

THE THIS CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE HAS BEEN REQUESTED.

IT'LL TAKE ABOUT PROBABLY DAYS, THEN TOMORROW OR BY WEDNESDAY AT THE LATEST.

OKAY. SO WE JUST GOT THAT NOTICE.

SO AS SOON AS WE GOT THINGS WORKED OUT WITH OUR FOLKS AND PAM, I THINK WE GOT ALL THAT WORKED OUT TODAY.

VERY GOOD. SO YOU'LL HAVE THAT.

SO I THINK ANOTHER VALID PIECE HERE IN YOUR CONSIDERATIONS IS AS I'VE TAKEN MY APPROACH IN THIS PROCESS, I'VE CREATED WHAT I CALL THREE PHASES.

JAMES AND EVEN FOLKS HAVE THOUGHT I'D LOST MY MIND WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO HIM.

BUT JUST KEEP IN MIND, IN THIS THREE PHASES, WE'RE GOING ALL THE WAY UP IN DESIGN ENGINEERING TO DOCUMENTS WITH THE CMR, WHICH WILL BRING YOU NEXT MONTH.

THOSE RFQS COME IN THIS WEDNESDAY AND ONCE WE GET TO GUARANTEED MAX PRICE, THEN WE STOP THE PROCESS.

PHASE TWO WILL START AND WE WILL COME TO YOU WITH GUARANTEED MAX PRICES INSTEAD OF ESTIMATES.

THAT'S BEEN KIND OF UNIQUE.

AGAIN, THEY HAD THOUGHT, WELL, I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT, BUT I LIKE REAL NUMBERS.

SO THEN ONCE WE IN PHASE TWO SECURE FUNDING, THEN WE CAN MOVE TO PHASE THREE OF THE CONSTRUCTION PIECES.

VERY GOOD.

I'D LIKE TO ADD ONE THING, TOO, ABOUT THE WHOLE.

WE DO A LOT OF GREAT WORK, AND HAVING THEM INVOLVED EARLY AND YOUR PROCESS IS COMMENDABLE.

I THINK HAVING AN IDEA OF WHAT THINGS ARE WE'RE DESIGNING TO.

I'M SORRY. I'M LIKE WE'RE DESIGNING TO A BUDGET.

SO IT'S SO IMPORTANT YOU'RE NOT GUESSING WHAT THAT FUTURE MONEY IS.

I THINK THE IDEA THERE IS THAT WE'RE DESIGNING TO WHAT TOMORROW'S DOLLAR WILL BE.

AND WORKING WITH THE CMR AS YOU HAVE, WE KNOW MANY OF THEM.

SO HAVING THEM EARLY AND JUST I THINK IT'S THE 12TH CHIEF.

IS THAT RIGHT. I THINK THEY'RE COMING FORWARD.

WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE THAT, TOO.

SO WE'RE GOING TO DO OUR FRONT END WORK, HAVE THAT INFORMATION, BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD PRETTY QUICKLY WITH THAT.

SO IT HELPS INFORM US HELPS INFORM YOU ALL AS WELL TOO.

SO GREAT JOB AND GREAT IDEA.

I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

ON BEHALF OF ALL OF US. SO EXCELLENT.

WELL I WANT TO ECHO THAT SAME WANT TO COMMEND CHIEF BENNETT ON THAT PROCESS AS WELL.

I THINK THAT'S VERY THOROUGH.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ITEM 12. CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO APPROVE THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE VISTA PARK DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF DECATUR AND TEXAS DECATUR VTP, LLC.

[12. **CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO APPROVE THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE VISTA PARK DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF DECATUR, TEXAS, AND DECATUR VP, LLC TO ALLOW FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE THOMPSON STREET IMPROVEMENTS AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.]

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THIS ITEM IS, AS YOU SAID, THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF DECATUR AND VISTA MR. PARK. YOU ALL ARE PROBABLY VERY AWARE OF THE ONGOING CONSTRUCTION IN THE AREA ON THE VISTA PARK PROJECT AND ONE THING THAT WE, THE DEVELOPERS AND THE CITY TEAM IDENTIFIED THAT NEEDED TO BE MEMORIALIZED WAS AN ADJUSTMENT TO THEIR PHASING AND THEN THEM UPDATING THE DRAINAGE SITUATION HERE ON THE VISTA PARK SITE, SPECIFICALLY ON THE THOMPSON STREET SIDE.

SO WE'RE LOOKING WEST DOWN THOMPSON STREET IN THE BOTTOM PHOTO.

YOU'RE ALL PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH THE LOW WATER CROSSING.

THE WHAT WE'RE MEMORIALIZING HERE TONIGHT IS JUST A BASIC TIMELINE AND THEN THESE TWO KEY PIECES OF DEVELOPMENT ON THOMPSON STREET, A RIGHT TURN LANE INTO THE VISTA PARK PROJECT.

AND THEN THOSE ORANGE MARKINGS ON THE TOP DRAWING IS FOR A LACK OF A TECHNICAL TERM, BOX UNDER CULVERTS, CULVERTS THAT WILL GO IN UNDER THE STREET AND THEN THE STREET WILL EVENTUALLY BE RAISED SO THAT THE GRADE IS STEADY AND STRAIGHT ACROSS AND LEVEL SO THAT YOU DON'T HAVE THAT DIP THERE.

WATER DOESN'T FLOW OVER THE ROAD AND THEN, OF COURSE, THEY'RE COMPLIMENTING DRAINAGE EFFORTS ON THE SITES ON THE COMMERCIAL SITES WILL HELP MOVE THAT WATER UNDERNEATH THE

[01:40:02]

ROAD THROUGH THE NEW CULVERT SYSTEM AND I MAY HAVE UNINTENTIONALLY MISSED SOMETHING HERE.

OUR PARTNERS IN VISTA PARK ARE HERE.

SO IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS FOR THEM, I'M SURE THEY'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.

BUT THIS IS A SIMPLE AMENDMENT AND NO OTHER POINTS IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT CHANGE.
