THE COUNCIL IS UNABLE TO RESPOND TO OR DISCUSS ANY ISSUES THAT ARE BROUGHT UP DURING THIS SECTION THAT ARE NOT ON THE AGENDA, OTHER THAN TO MAKE STATEMENTS OF SPECIFIC FACTUAL INFORMATION IN RESPONSE TO A SPEAKER'S INQUIRY, OR TO RECITE EXISTING POLICY IN RESPONSE TO THE INQUIRY.

TONIGHT I HAVE MR. KEVIN DYER.

ARE YOU HERE FOR A SPECIFIC AGENDA ITEM? OKAY, THEN WE'RE JUST WAIT FOR THE AGENDA ITEM.

THANK YOU.

ZACH MOBLEY, I ASSUME YOU'RE THE SAME.

OKAY. CLINTON LAWRENCE.

OKAY. CLINT LAWRENCE, 1304 EAST COLLEGE.

I SPEAK TONIGHT TO ASK THIS COUNCIL TO STRONGLY CONSIDER, OR AT THE VERY LEAST, START THE DISCUSSION OF IMPLEMENTING A MODEST ANIMAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT.

THIS CAN BE SOMETHING VERY SIMPLE, SUCH AS HAVING ONE DEDICATED EMPLOYEE PATROLLING IN A SPECIALIZED VEHICLE, AS WELL AS A SMALL TEMPORARY HOLDING FACILITY THAT CAN BE USED UNTIL THE ANIMALS CAN BE SAFELY TRANSFERRED TO THE COUNTY.

THIS PROGRAM CAN BE IN ADDITION TO THE COUNTY SERVICES THE CITY USES CURRENTLY.

I CAN ASSURE EVERYONE ON THIS COUNCIL THE STRAY ANIMAL SITUATION IN PRINCETON IS UNSUSTAINABLE.

AN EXPANDED ANIMAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT WOULD HELP GET THESE STRAY ANIMALS OFF OF THE STREET AND GET THEM IN A MORE SAFE AND HUMANE SITUATION.

THANK YOU. MAXINE ELLIS.

GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL.

MAXINE ELLIS FROM ARCADIA FARMS, 914 BLUEWOOD.

I COME TO YOU TONIGHT AND I HAVE PICTURES TO SHOW YOU, SO I'LL LET YOU ALL SEE MY PHONE.

SPECTRUM INSTALLED A MASTER CABLE BOX OVER A YEAR AGO ON ROSEWOOD STREET BETWEEN

[00:05:10]

THEY HAVE BEEN CONTACTED MULTIPLE TIMES TO BURY THIS BOX, AND THEY HAVE NOT YET.

SO I'M COMING TO THE COUNCIL TO ASK FOR THE ASSISTANCE TO GET THEM TO BURY IT, BECAUSE AND AGAIN, I APPROACH AND THERE'S A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT PICTURES THEY CAN LOOK AT.

WHILE SHE'S DOING THAT.

IF YOU DON'T MIND PUTTING YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS ON HERE, I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE SOMEBODY GETS BACK WITH YOU.

THEY'VE BEEN CALLED, SPECTRUM'S BEEN CALLED BY THE HOMEOWNERS, BY MYSELF, BY THE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, AND THEY JUST AREN'T DOING ANYTHING.

SO I THOUGHT MAYBE I CAN GET SOME ASSISTANCE.

[00:15:01]

GOOD EVENING. MAYOR COUNCIL.

TOMMY MAP, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS.

AT THE REQUEST OF MAYOR CHACON, WE HAVE ASKED TXDOT AND COLLIN COUNTY TO COME GIVE PRESENTATIONS TO KIND OF UPDATE YOU ON THE TRAFFIC MOBILITY PROJECTS THAT THEY HAVE GOING ON IN AND AROUND THE CITY OF PRINCETON.

WITH TRAFFIC SAFETY BEING AT THE, YOU KNOW, UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO TO OUR RESIDENTS AS THEY MOVE AROUND OUR CITY AND THROUGH OUR CITY.

WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO HEAR IT STRAIGHT FROM THEM SO THAT THEY CAN ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE JENNIFER FOERSTER.

SHE'S WITH TXDOT.

SHE'LL BE GIVING A BRIEFING ON ALL OF THE PROJECTS THAT TXDOT HAS GOING ON.

GOOD EVENING AND THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

IF YOU DON'T MIND TURNING THE MIC ON.

THANK YOU. NO PROBLEM.

THANK YOU. MAYOR, COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

AND I'LL HAVE A PRESENTATION UP.

THERE WE GO. I GOT IT HERE.

SO I'M GOING TO HERE TO TALK ABOUT SOME UPCOMING ROADWAY PROJECTS AND THINGS WE HAVE GOING ON HERE AT TXDOT.

NEXT SLIDE. CAN I ADVANCE THE SLIDES OVER HERE BUTTON.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

SO FIRST WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT OUR IN THE STREET CAMPAIGN.

SO EVERY SINGLE DAY SINCE NOVEMBER 7TH 2000 WE HAVE HAD AT LEAST ONE DEATH ON A TXDOT ROADWAY.

AND SO OUR IN THE STREET CAMPAIGN THAT YOU WILL SOMETIMES SEE STAMPED ON THE SIDES OF MATERIALS THAT YOU SEE COMING DOWN THE ROAD, YOU'LL SEE IT ON BILLBOARDS.

THAT'S JUST A CAMPAIGN TO HELP US GET OUT THERE, DRIVE SAFELY, HELP US IN THE STREET OF DAILY DEATHS ON TXDOT ROADWAYS.

THERE'S A QR CODE.

SO LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT WE CAN DO WHILE WE'RE DRIVING, WHAT WE CAN TEACH OUR NEW DRIVERS.

WELL, WE CAN ALL LEARN BUCKLE UP, SEAT BELTS ARE YOUR FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE IN FATAL CRASHES.

PRETTY CLOSE TO HALF OF THEM HAPPEN WHEN YOU DON'T WEAR YOUR SEAT BELTS.

DRIVE THE SPEED LIMIT OR SLOWER IF IT'S RAINING CONDITIONS.

LOOK AT THAT.

NEVER DRIVE WHEN YOU'RE UNDER THE INFLUENCE.

PUT YOUR PHONE AWAY.

DON'T DRIVE DISTRACTED.

SO WHAT'S A LITTLE BIT OF THE THINGS THAT TXDOT IS DOING? WE'RE ENGINEERING OUR ROADWAYS TO BE MORE FORGIVING OF DRIVER BEHAVIORS THAT WE'RE SEEING OUT THERE.

WE'RE INSTALLING ROADSIDE RUMBLE STRIPS TO ALERT DRIVERS WHEN YOU'RE GOING OVER THAT CENTER LINE OR YOUR EDGE LINE, USING A LOT MORE MEDIUM BARRIER AND RAISED MEDIANS TO PREVENT HEAD ON COLLISIONS THAT TEND TO RESULT IN SLIGHTLY MORE SERIOUS INCIDENTS.

ALL RIGHT. SO WE'LL GO ON AND TALK ABOUT A COUPLE OF UPCOMING PROJECTS.

ONE PROJECT THAT WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO KICK OFF IS THE FIFTH AND SIXTH LANE ADDITION ON 380.

SO WE'RE HOPING TO GET CONSTRUCTION STARTED THIS SUMMER.

THAT JOB IS NEARING THE POINT WHERE WE CAN BID IT.

THAT LIMITS ALL THE WAY FROM AIRPORT ROAD OVER IN MCKINNEY TO COUNTY ROAD 458.

IT'S ABOUT A $70 MILLION PROJECT.

AND THEN WE'LL GO THROUGH AND BUILD THE FIFTH AND SIXTH LANE.

IN SOME PORTIONS OF 380, THE FIFTH AND SIXTH LANE WILL LITERALLY JUST BE AN ADDITION ON THE OUTSIDE.

AND IN SOME PLACES, LIKE, ESPECIALLY THROUGH TOWN WHERE WE HAVE A LOT OF BUSINESSES, YOU'LL ACTUALLY SEE ALL THE PAVEMENT GETTING REBUILT.

WE'LL HAVE TO FLIP THE DRAINAGE INTO THE MIDDLE.

AND SO THERE'LL BE SOME AREAS WHERE WE HAVE COMPLETE PAVEMENT REBUILD THROUGH THERE.

BUT AGAIN, LOOKING AT A SUMMER START.

STILL FINALIZING THE CONTRACT.

TIME ON THAT ONE.

ESTIMATING PROBABLY TWO AND A HALF TO THREE YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION ON THAT.

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT A MILL AND OVERLAY ON 982.

THAT LIMITS FROM MARSH LANE DOWN TO 546.

SO THAT'S KIND OF THE END OF THE CONCRETE DOWN ALL THE WAY DOWN.

546 DOWN IN THE BRANCH AREA.

WE ARE PLANNING SPRING 2025 CONSTRUCTION FOR THAT.

SO THAT'S LITERALLY KIND OF TAKEN OFF THE TOP SURFACE OF THE HOT MIX THAT'S THERE.

PUTTING IN NEW HOT MIX SURFACE ON IT.

WE'RE GOING TO ADD TURN LANES AT 546 AND ADD TURN LANES AT COUNTY ROAD 400.

BOTH OF THOSE ARE IN ANTICIPATION OF FUTURE SIGNALS.

THINKING YOU'LL PROBABLY SEE THAT SIGNAL AT 546 FIRST, FOLLOWED BY THAT SIGNAL THERE AT MYRICK LANE.

AND THAT'S ABOUT A $5 MILLION PROJECT.

THAT PROJECT ALSO INCLUDES 3286, WHICH IS OUTSIDE OF PRINCETON, OBVIOUSLY, BUT IT WILL BE PART OF THE SAME PROJECT TO DO A LITTLE BIT OF RESURFACING BETWEEN THE LAKE BRIDGES DOWN THERE.

ALL RIGHT, FM 75.

THIS IS A SAFETY WIDENING JOB.

THIS JOB WILL LOOK EXTREMELY SIMILAR TO 1377 WHEN WE GET DONE.

SO CONSTRUCTION PLANNED IN SPRING OF 2027, WE'RE GOING TO ADD THREE FOOT SHOULDERS TO THAT ROADWAY.

[00:20:05]

ALL NEW DRIVEWAYS AND CULVERTS, ADD RUMBLE STRIPS AND EXTEND SOME EXISTING DRAINAGE STRUCTURES.

THAT'S ABOUT A $5 MILLION PROJECT GOING FROM MONTE CARLO BOULEVARD UP TO 1827.

ALL RIGHT. THIS PROJECT JUST KICKED OFF, SO I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF DETAILS FOR THIS PROJECT.

WE JUST HAD THE KICKOFF MEETING THE OTHER DAY, BUT WE ARE WORKING WITH A CONSULTANT TO LOOK AT TAKING FM 982 FROM A TWO LANE TO A 4 OR 6 LANE DIVIDED. SO LOOKING SOMETHING LIKE 380 DOES RIGHT NOW, BUT DOWN THROUGH 982 THERE'S A DATE THERE.

IT SAYS READY TO LET DATE 2027.

LET ME TALK ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS.

THAT MEANS THAT'S OUR GOAL DATE TO HAVE OUR RIGHT OF WAY PURCHASED AND OUR UTILITIES MOVED.

AND WHEN FUNDING ALLOWS, WE COULD THEN BID THAT PROJECT.

I DON'T HAVE A GOOD BID DATE FOR YOU ON THAT JOB YET.

THE DESIGN REALLY JUST STARTED.

THERE WOULD BE LOTS OF PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES ON THIS, PROBABLY PUBLIC MEETING AND PUBLIC HEARING.

IT HASN'T QUITE BEEN DETERMINED YET WHAT KIND OF ENVIRONMENTAL IS NEEDED.

REALLY, REALLY EARLY.

BUT THIS IS SOMETHING WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO KICK OFF AS WE SEE A LOT OF THE TRAFFIC GROWTH OVER IN THIS AREA.

ALL RIGHT. AND THEN AGAIN I'M GOING TO TOUCH JUST A LITTLE BIT ON THE US 380.

PRINCETON BYPASS I KNOW THIS IS A HEAVILY WATCHED PROJECT AND IT'S STILL A LITTLE BIT IN FLUX, ESPECIALLY AS WE WORK WITH THE CORPS AND WE FINALIZE ALL THE INS AND OUTS AND THE DETAILS. THE SEGMENT SPECIFICALLY HERE IN PRINCETON 1827 OVER TO COUNTY ROAD 560.

AGAIN, YOU'LL SEE THAT READY TO LET DATE.

SO THAT'S OUR GOAL DATE TO HAVE OUR RIGHT OF WAY PURCHASED, HAVE OUR UTILITIES MOVED AND HAVE THAT CORRIDOR AVAILABLE FOR WHEN THE FUNDING COMES THROUGH.

YOU GUYS KNOW THAT THIS IS A HUGE PIECE OF THE 380 BYPASS, AND THAT FUNDING IS NOT ALL ENTIRELY ALLOCATED YET TO EXACTLY WHAT SEGMENTS ARE GOING TO GO FIRST. AND SO THE SCOPE THERE ON THAT PROJECT IS TO EITHER RECONSTRUCT OR NEW LOCATION, 6 TO 10 LANE FREEWAY WITH 4 TO 6 LANE FRONTAGE ROADS. THE WAY THAT LOOKS IN PRACTICE WILL KIND OF DEPEND ON WHAT FUNDING ALLOWS.

IF FRONTAGE ROADS COME FIRST, IF WHAT PARTS OF THE BRIDGES COME FIRST, THAT'S ALL.

WE'RE ALL STILL KIND OF WORKING THROUGH THAT.

AND LET'S SEE, I THINK THAT THAT MIGHT BE ONE OF THE LAST ONES.

SO I HAVE A QUESTION, SLIDE HERE.

I WAS REALLY JUST HIGHLIGHTING THESE MOBILITY PROJECTS HERE THROUGH PRINCETON AND WAS GOING TO BE LOOKING FOR YOUR QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

IF YOU'LL BACK UP A SLIDE.

SLIDE EIGHT. ABSOLUTELY.

SO FOR THIS, DO YOU HAVE ANY TYPE OF ESTIMATE AT ALL AND WHEN THERE MIGHT BE AN ACTUAL CONFIRMED ALIGNMENT FOR THIS.

BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S KIND OF GONE BACK AND FORTH ON WHAT THAT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO LOOK LIKE AS IT DROPS OFF ONTO 380.

DO WE KNOW ANYTHING ON THAT? THE TIME. I WISH I COULD GIVE YOU A SOLID TIME FRAME.

I KNOW THERE'S LOTS OF DECISIONS, LIKE I SAID, STILL BEING TALKED THROUGH WITH THE CORPS AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

AND THEN I BELIEVE THERE'S STILL QUITE A FEW CONVERSATIONS AROUND HOW THE TIE IN THERE AT 1827 AND FUTURE SPUR 399 LOOKS LIKE I DON'T HAVE A SOLID TIME TO GIVE YOU, BUT MAYBE I COULD GET BACK WITH YOU.

WITH WHAT? OUR GOALS ARE THERE.

YEAH. IF YOU DON'T MIND, I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, I'LL OPEN THAT UP.

IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS, I HOPE YOU DO.

I APPRECIATE YOUR PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING THAT ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS ARE VERY EAGER FOR.

WE DEFINITELY NEED MORE ACCESSIBILITY IN AND OUT OF OUR CITY.

SO ALL THESE PROJECTS ARE FANTASTIC.

YEAH. I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION.

YES, SIR. ADAM, MAYBE I MISSED IT, BUT ON FM 1827 ITSELF, YES.

DID YOU HAVE A SLIDE ON IT OR, I DID NOT.

SO WE DO HAVE ONE, THE PORTION OF 1827 IS ACTUALLY IN OUR CITY VERY FAR NORTH FROM FM 75 OVER TO COUNTY ROAD 409.

I JUST CURIOUS HOW THAT'S GOING TO BE.

SO A PROJECT SIMILAR TO I'M SURE YOU WILL REMEMBER BACK IN 2019, 2020, WE DID A THREE FOOT WIDENING JOB DOWN THROUGH NEW HOPE. THERE IS ANOTHER SAFETY PROJECT THAT EXISTS THAT WE ARE HOPING TO KICK OFF IN 26, THAT WILL TAKE THE REST OF 1827 DO THE SAME THING. THE THREE FOOT SHOULDERS, REPLACE THE DRIVEWAYS.

PUT THE RUMBLE STRIPS.

WHAT I DO NOT HAVE THERE RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT IS ANY SORT OF WHAT WE WOULD CALL MOBILITY JOB.

SO MAKING THAT A 406 LANE DIVIDED FACILITY.

BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT A THREE FOOT SHOULDER PROJECT THERE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

I HAVE A QUESTION.

WHEN WE ON THE 380 WIDENING, WILL THERE BE OR CAN WE HAVE LIGHTS IN THE MEDIAN? THIS PROJECT WILL NOT INCLUDE SAFETY LIGHTING.

IT'S A DISCUSSION THAT WE'VE CONTINUED TO HAVE TO DISCUSS WHEN SAFETY LIGHTING AND HOW THAT MIGHT GET INTEGRATED.

[00:25:06]

AND WHY IS IT NOT? SINCE IT IS A SAFETY, IT IS FOR SAFETY.

AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.

SO THE SAFETY LIGHTING IS KIND OF A DIFFERENT BUCKET OF MONEY, I GUESS.

AND THEY'VE GOT TO GO THROUGH AND KIND OF IN COORDINATE THAT IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES ON, BUT IT WAS NOT ADDED TO THIS.

THERE HAS BEEN A REQUEST FOR THAT.

AND I THINK WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT PROJECT, HOPING TO SEE IF WE CAN GET IT TO QUALIFY AND GET ALL THE PIECES TO FALL IN PLACE, THAT IT WOULD COME VERY SHORTLY AFTER THE FIFTH AND SIXTH LANE PROJECT.

BUT THERE ARE SOME CRITERIA IN CERTAIN NUMBERS OF THINGS THAT YOU HAVE TO MEET.

AND I'M SORRY, I'M NOT REALLY QUALIFIED TO SPEAK ON WHAT THAT IS HERE, BUT I COULD CERTAINLY GET YOU AN ANSWER BACK ABOUT SAFETY LIGHTING.

OKAY. THANK YOU. YEP.

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO ON OUR SIDE TO MAKE FOR SURE THAT OBJECTIVE IS PUSHED HARDER? THAT WAY YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND AND KNOW THAT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE WANT, THAT WE NEED TO MAKE FOR SURE THAT THAT SAFETY LIGHTING IS THERE FOR OUR CITIZENS.

SO IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO TO HELP FACILITATE THAT, TO MAKE SURE THAT DESIRE IS UNDERSTOOD? YOU COULD CERTAINLY SEND ME OR ANY ONE OF THE STAFF MEMBERS A LETTER STATING THE IMPORTANCE OF THAT, AND WE WOULD COME BACK TO YOU AND LET YOU KNOW THE REQUIREMENTS OF THAT. IF IT MEETS THE SAFETY LIGHTING STANDARDS, THEN THERE'S SOME WAYS THAT TXDOT PAYS FOR LIGHTING, AND THEN THERE'S SOME OTHER WAYS THAT PRINCETON WOULD END UP HAVING TO PAY FOR SOME OF THE LIGHTING. AND THEN THE MAINTENANCE ALWAYS BECOMES THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CITY.

AND SO WE JUST NEED TO TALK THROUGH THOSE DETAILS PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT SEPARATELY.

BUT I CAN CERTAINLY SET UP A MEETING AND WE COULD TALK ABOUT SAFETY LIGHTING.

YEAH, I THINK I THINK THAT WOULD BE AND HOW LIGHTING LOOKS ON THAT CORRIDOR.

YEAH. BECAUSE I THINK THE FOLLOW UP ON MY QUESTION IS IF MCKINNEY GETS IT, WHY CAN'T WE HAVE IT? BECAUSE IT'S VERY DARK OUT THERE.

YEAH, I KNOW MISTER DEFFENBACH MYSELF, WE'RE GETTING KIND OF OLD AND WE CAN'T SEE AS WELL.

WE USED TO, AND I THINK WE NEED IT, AND I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT DETAILS.

I'M HESITANT TO GIVE YOU EXACTLY HOW THEY DID IT.

I DO BELIEVE THAT WAS A SAFETY LIGHTING PROJECT.

THEY ARE MAINTAINING THAT LIGHTING AND DOING ALL OF THE MAINTENANCE OF THAT LIGHTING THEMSELVES.

AND I THINK THAT SOME OF THE FUNDING, BUT I'M NOT 100% SURE ON ALL THE DETAILS ON THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ON 546 OR WHAT ROADWAY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SPECIFICALLY? SO I CAN GET BACK ON 380? OKAY. I'LL GET BACK WITH YOU ON THAT.

THAT THAT LIGHTING PROJECT CAME IN AND I BELIEVE THAT WAS SAFETY LIGHTING.

I'LL LOOK IT UP. I'LL HAVE TO SEND YOU MORE INFORMATION.

I'M SORRY. I WASN'T PREPARED TO SPEAK ON THAT SPECIFIC ELEMENT.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS.

OKAY. WE APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.

EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

NOW WE HAVE CLARENCE DAUGHTRY, THE DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR COLLIN COUNTY.

HE'S HERE TO SPEAK ON THE MOBILITY AND SAFETY PROJECTS THAT COLLIN COUNTY HAS GOING ON IN AND AROUND THE CITY AS WELL.

GOOD EVENING.

GOOD EVENING. IF YOU'LL TURN YOUR MICROPHONE ON BUTTON ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE.

THERE YOU GO. THANK YOU.

IT'S GOOD TO BE HERE. WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WITH YOU.

WE WHEN WE GET INTO SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT YOU'VE ALREADY STARTED TALKING ABOUT, LIGHTING AND SAFETY AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU'LL FIND THAT BOTH THE COUNTY AND TXDOT HAVE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT SET OF POLICIES, I GUESS, THAN THE CITIES DO.

SO WHAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE TRY TO LOOK AT THE VARIOUS PROJECTS WHEN WE GET EITHER IN CITIES OR CLOSE TO CITIES IS PARTNERSHIPS SO THAT WE CAN SHARE EACH OTHER'S VIEWPOINTS AND FIGURE OUT WHO CAN DO WHAT AS OPPOSED TO JUST BEING COMPLETELY SEPARATE.

SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE TYPICALLY COME THROUGH, COME FROM THE. WE'RE IN AN INTERESTING POSITION RIGHT NOW IN THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF GROWTH IN THE PAST IN THIS COUNTY HAS BEEN IN CITIES.

AND YET, WITH WHAT'S HAPPENED IN THE LAST THREE SESSIONS OF THE LEGISLATURE, THE CITIES HAVE LOST SO MUCH AUTHORITY THAT WE ARE FINDING NOW ALREADY THAT A WHOLE LOT MORE OF THE GROWTH IS OUTSIDE CITIES.

SO. WHAT ENDS UP HAPPENING IS THAT WE'VE GOT MORE STRESS ON THE COUNTY ROADS AS A RESULT OF VERY LARGE DEVELOPMENTS AND SCHOOLS THAN WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST.

MOST OF THE DEVELOPMENTS OUTSIDE OF CITY LIMITS IN THE PAST WERE ONE TWO ACRE, HALF ACRE, WELL, 1 OR 2 ACRE LOT DEVELOPMENTS,

[00:30:07]

NOW WE'RE FINDING DEVELOPMENT THAT IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT IT USED TO BE IN THE CITIES WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 2000 LOT SUBDIVISIONS AND THEY'RE NEXT DOOR TO EACH OTHER.

SO IT'S TAKING ON A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE THAT WE'VE HAD.

WE'RE HAVING TO ADJUST TO IN OUR.

IN OUR BOND PROGRAM WE'VE ATTEMPTED ARE ATTEMPTING TO ADDRESS THAT.

THE. SO I'M GOING TO.

DOES IT POINT SOMEWHERE? OKAY. NOW IT WILL PROBABLY FLIP TOO FAR.

SO. SO IN OUR 2023 BOND PROGRAM, WE HAVE SOME OF THE SIMILAR THINGS THAT WE'VE HAD IN PREVIOUS BOND PROGRAMS, BUT WE'VE GOT MORE EMPHASIS THIS TIME ON SOME OF THOSE ROADS THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, WHERE THEY'RE COUNTY ROADS THAT HAVE GOT THIS ADDITIONAL STRESS ON THEM.

SO THE ROADS THAT WE SEE THAT ARE IN SOMEWHERE IN THE VICINITY OF PRINCETON ARE THESE ROADWAYS? COUNTY ROAD 398 557.

MYRICK. THAT'S A VERY LONG ROAD.

I'LL TALK ABOUT IN A SECOND.

COUNTY ROAD 407 AND 437.

AND SO, THIS IS A MAP.

FRANKLY, IT DIDN'T COME OUT THE WAY I REALLY WOULD LIKE FOR IT TO, BUT HOPEFULLY YOU CAN SEE THESE THE OUTLINE OF THE PROJECTS. AND SO I'LL START WITH COUNTY ROAD 398, AND IT'S THE LITTLE BITTY SHORT PIECE ON THE KIND OF THE NORTHWEST PART OF THIS THIS MAP.

IT'S FROM FM 546 OVER TO I THINK IT'LL BE CALLAWAY, BUT IT'LL BE TO WHERE Y'ALL, YOUR DEVELOPMENT STOPS.

AND SO WE'LL BE MATCHING THE THE, THE SECTION OF ROADWAY THAT IS BEING BUILT, WHICH IS FOR IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING, IT'S FOUR LANE UNDIVIDED AND IT WILL BE CONCRETE. SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT QUITE A BIT.

AND IT IS SOMEWHAT IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE, THE LARGER PROJECT THAT'S NORTH OF THERE.

BUT THAT IS ONE THAT WE'VE GOT FUNDED AND HOPEFULLY WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL MOBILITY WHEN YOU TAKE WHAT IS BEEN BUILT OUT THERE NOW AND CONNECT IT ALL THE WAY TO THE WEST TO FM 546.

AND THEN I'LL COME BACK TO MYRICK IN A MINUTE.

BUT ON THE FAR RIGHT OF THE PAGE IS A LONG ROAD, NORTH SOUTH ROAD.

THAT'S COUNTY ROAD 557.

NOW THAT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LAKE FROM YOU ALL, BUT I SUSPECT THAT THERE'S A LOT OF PRINCETON TRAFFIC THAT WILL GO THAT WAY.

AND YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THAT'S A SHORTCUT.

WHICH, YOU KNOW, ATTRACTS A LOT OF TRAFFIC.

RIGHT NOW IT HAS A DOUBLE 90 SHORT CURVE.

THEY'RE NOT EVEN CURVES, SHARP TURNS THAT WE'RE GOING TO TAKE OUT.

AND THE ROAD WILL BE STRAIGHTENED OUT AND GO TO THE EAST SIDE OF THE CEMETERY.

SO WE'LL HAVE A LONG ROADWAY THAT'S SAFER INSTEAD OF THOSE SHARP TURNS.

IN THAT CASE, WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT A CONTINUING IT TO BE A TWO LANE ROAD, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE WIDER.

GEOMETRICALLY, IT WILL BE SAFER.

AND THE PAVEMENT WILL BE COMPLETELY REBUILT SO THAT IT'S STRONG ENOUGH TO TAKE CARE OF THE ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC.

AND THEN WHERE WE NEED TO, WE'LL HAVE TURN LANES.

SO AND A LOT OF THE CASES, WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT A LOT OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS ABOUT HOW TO BUILD SOME OF THESE ROADS.

AND WHAT WE FIND IS THAT ROADWAYS CAN TAKE A LOT OF TRAFFIC AS A STRAIGHT AWAY.

THE PROBLEM YOU HAVE IS THAT INTERSECTIONS, AND ESPECIALLY IF YOU'VE GOT A TWO LANE ROADWAY AND SOMEBODY WANTING TO TURN LEFT, IT JUST CLOGS EVERYTHING UP SO WE CAN BUILD THE ROADS AS TWO LANE, AS LONG AS WE'VE GOT TURN LANES AT STRATEGIC PLACES.

[00:35:01]

SO THAT'S ANOTHER PROJECT.

BOTH OF THESE WE WILL BE STARTING DESIGN ON THAT OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS.

AND THEN AS SOON AS WE CAN GET A RIGHT OF WAY, THEN WE'LL GO TO CONSTRUCTION ON THAT.

IT'LL TAKE AT LEAST A COUPLE OF YEARS TO GET THESE KIND OF THINGS DONE THE RIGHT OF WAY.

PART OF IT IS SUBSTANTIAL EFFORT, TO SAY THE LEAST.

AND THEN GOING TO THE BIGGER ROAD THAT YOU SEE THERE.

BACK IN 2014, WE DID AN UPDATE OF THE COUNTY MOBILITY PLAN AND IDENTIFIED THAT WE NEEDED A RELIEVER FOR, YOU KNOW, US 380. SO THERE'S A LOT OF LOT OF THINGS GOING ON TO TRY AND RELIEVE 380.

JENNIFER'S TALKED ABOUT THE GOING FROM 5 TO 6 LANES.

THAT'S BASIC AND REALLY IMPORTANT.

THIS IS ANOTHER ONE WHERE IT WOULD BE A RELIEVER.

AND SO THIS WAS IDENTIFIED BACK A GOOD WHILE BACK.

AND NOW WE IN THE 2018 BOND PROGRAM, WE HAD SOME FUNDING TO DO THE ALIGNMENT WORK ON THIS BECAUSE IN ESSENCE, WE'RE CONNECTING 546 ON THE WEST END ON SOUTH SIDE OF THE AIRPORT.

COUNTY ROAD 400 IN THE MIDDLE, WHICH ALSO BECOMES MYRICK.

AND THEN IT'S A DIFFERENT ROADWAY ON THE EAST SIDE OF 982.

SO IT'S A REAL LONG CORRIDOR, BUT IT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT CORRIDOR, AND WE'LL COME OUT TO BOORMAN ON THE EAST EDGE OF PRINCETON.

SO WE DIVIDED THIS INTO TWO PARTS EAST AND WEST, BECAUSE THE EASTERN PART OF IT IS NOT ON THE COUNTY, IT'S NOT ON THE STATE SYSTEM.

SO THE COUNTY WAS ABLE TO DO IT INDEPENDENT OF THE PROCESSES REQUIRED BY TXDOT.

AND SO WE HAVE AN ALIGNMENT THAT HAS BEEN SET NOW FROM 546 EAST.

MUCH OF IT IS A ROADWAY THAT DOESN'T EXIST NOW, AND IT WILL MAKE THE CURVE TO THE NORTH AND THEN THE CURVE TO THE EAST AND TIE INTO MYRICK THAT YOU'VE ALREADY GOT BUILT.

SO AND THEN ON THE EAST SIDE OF 982 WILL BE BUILDING THAT ROAD AND IT CURVES UP AND YOU'VE GOT A PIECE OF IT BUILT IN A SUBDIVISION.

AND THEN BOORMAN WILL BE THE LAST PIECE THAT CONNECTS.

SO WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF BUYING RIGHT OF WAY NOW.

UTILITY RELOCATIONS.

AS SOON AS WE GET THOSE DONE, THEN WE'LL BE LOOKING AT CONSTRUCTION FOR THAT, THE WEST PART OF IT, WHICH IS JUST ABOUT AS IMPORTANT TO YOU AS AS THE EAST PART, BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE SOMETHING CONNECTING.

IS A DIFFERENT BALL GAME BECAUSE IT IS USING PART OF FM 546.

SO WE'RE MANAGING AND FUNDING THE ALIGNMENT PROJECT, BUT WE'RE DOING IT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH TXDOT.

AND WE'RE GOING THROUGH A TYPICAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESS.

AND, AND TO DETERMINE WHAT THE EXACT ALIGNMENT WILL BE.

AND THIS LINE ROUGHLY APPROXIMATES WHAT WE EXPECT TO COME OUT OF IT.

WE'RE ABOUT AT 60% OF SCHEMATIC NOW TO THE POINT WHERE WE FEEL COMFORTABLE.

WE KNOW WHAT THE ALIGNMENT IS GOING TO BE, BUT WE'VE STILL GOT TO FINISH UP SOME MORE PUBLIC MEETINGS AND A NUMBER OF TECHNICAL THINGS THAT WE'VE GOT TO GO THROUGH.

THE OTHER PIECE OF THIS IS THAT IT? NOW, WHEN WHEN THIS WAS CONCEIVED IN 2014, IT WAS GOING TO CONNECT TO THE NEW PIECE OF 546, WHICH HAS BECOME HARRY MCKILLOP.

THAT WAS A NEW PROJECT THAT CAME ON BACK THEN.

WELL, NOW WE'VE GOT SPUR 399, WHICH IS A FREEWAY THAT'S GOING TO SPIN OFF OF STATE HIGHWAY FIVE OR MCDONNELL AND FOLLOW JUST ABOUT ON TOP OF THAT PORTION OF HARRY MCKILLOP IN MCKINNEY.

AND THEN GO AROUND THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE AIRPORT AND UP THE EAST SIDE OF THE AIRPORT TO TIE INTO US 380 AND THE 380 FREEWAY.

AND SO THE THE WEST END OF THIS PROJECT THAT YOU SEE POINTING UP TO THE NORTH IS WHERE IT TIES IN.

WE'LL BE TYING IN TO SPUR 399 FREEWAY.

SO THE WHOLE THING HAS GOTTEN EXTREMELY COMPLICATED, AND WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME WITH TXDOT, AND THEY'RE DESIGNING SPUR 399 RIGHT NOW WHILE WE'RE TRYING TO GET THE SCHEMATIC FINISHED AND THEN GET INTO AND THE SCHEMATIC FINISHED ON ON 546, TXDOT THEN IS GOING TO PICK THAT UP AND DO THE DESIGN AND THE RIGHT OF WAY AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT. AND WE'LL PROBABLY BE PARTNERS ON THE CONSTRUCTION.

THIS IS LIKE A $200 MILLION PROJECT.

SO IT'S GOING TO BE A REAL CHALLENGE TO GET FUNDS BOTH FROM OUR SIDE AND TXDOT SIDE OF IT.

[00:40:04]

AND TO BE HONEST, FROM OUR PROJECTIONS, THAT'S BARELY GOING TO TAKE CARE OF IT AS FAR AS THE TRAFFIC GOES.

WE WE DO A LOT OF TRAFFIC MODELING IN OUR VARIOUS STUDIES.

THIS AND THIS ONE, WE LOOKED AT THE YEAR 2045 AND THEN BUILD OUT AT 2045.

WHEN WE GET THIS BUILT, IT HOPEFULLY WILL WILL LAST AS FAR AS TAKING CARE OF TRAFFIC TO 2045, BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT.

IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO GET THE, THE SIX LANES AND IT'S GOING TO REALLY BE STRUGGLING TO CARRY ALL THE TRAFFIC THAT'S GOING TO BE ON THAT.

SO THAT'S A REAL CHALLENGE.

AND THAT COMES WITH THE IDEA THAT YOU'VE GOT THIS ROADWAY AND SPUR 399.

AND A WIDENED 380 AND A FREEWAY FOR 380.

AND ALL OF THAT'S BARELY ENOUGH.

SO THE WHAT'S GOING ON IN COLLIN COUNTY IS, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST WE'RE BARELY ABLE TO EVERYBODY IS BARELY ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH IT.

AND WE HAVE AN INTERESTING TIME IN OUR PUBLIC MEETINGS GETTING PEOPLE TO BELIEVE SOME OF THE POPULATION PROJECTIONS THAT WE PUT ON THE TABLE.

BUT I'VE BEEN IN THIS AREA OVER 40 YEARS.

I'VE SEEN IT. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE.

FOR IN TERMS OF WHAT, THE KIND OF GROWTH THAT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO HAVE.

SO WE'RE AS AGGRESSIVE, AS AGGRESSIVE AS WE CAN BE ON OUR PROJECTIONS AND, AND THE PROJECTS THAT GO ALONG WITH THAT.

SO THAT'S ONE OF THE, THE MAJOR PROJECTS THEN UP IN THE FAR NORTH EDGE.

THAT'S COUNTY ROAD 407 AND THEN THE NORTH SOUTH, THE NORTH SOUTH PART OF IT IS 404.

AND THAT'LL BE TAKING PICKING IT UP AT 380 AND GOING OVER.

WE'LL HAVE TO WORK WITH YOU ALL.

THAT'S THIS IS A PARTNERSHIP TYPE THING AND THAT YOU'VE GOT A ROADWAY THERE THAT OF COURSE IT ENDS UP AT MONTE CARLO.

BUT THEN YOU'VE GOT A PIECE OF I THINK IT'S FLORENCE, I THINK AND THEN SO I'M THINKING IT'LL GO TO DEWBERRY BUT OR DEBERRY.

BUT WE'LL WORK OUT THE DETAILS ON THAT.

BUT THAT'S WHERE WE'RE PUTTING SOME FUNDING.

AND THE, THIS LIST OF ROADS THAT ARE COUNTY ROADS IS COMING AS MUCH AS ANYTHING FROM OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, WHO MAINTAINS ALL OF OUR ROADWAYS AND WHO KEEPS THE TRAFFIC COUNTS AND LOOKS AT THE CONDITION OF THESE ROADWAYS.

AND THIS IS THE REASON FOR THIS ONE IS BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC THAT WE'RE SEEING ON THAT.

SO THAT'S WHAT'S BEHIND THAT PROJECT.

IN THAT CASE, WE MAY BE A TAKE A YEAR LONGER TO GET STARTED ON, ON THAT ONE.

AND THEN THE LAST ONE THAT I'D MENTIONED OF THESE TYPE OF ROADWAYS IS COUNTY ROAD 437.

NOW, THAT'S WAY DOWN AT THE BOTTOM.

AND IT DEPENDS ON YOUR PERSPECTIVE, I GUESS, AS TO HOW MUCH THAT HAS TO DO WITH PRINCETON.

BUT THE, THE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING ON ON THE PENINSULA OF THE LAKE IS PHENOMENAL.

AND 437 AND 982 ARE THE RECIPIENTS OF THAT TRAFFIC, WHICH IS YET TO BE SEEN COMPLETELY.

SO RIGHT NOW WE ARE WORKING WITH DEVELOPERS IN PARTNERSHIP TO WHERE THEY BUILD PART OF THE ROADWAYS ON THE EDGE OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT, AND WE'RE PUTTING MONEY UP FOR THE OTHER HALF OF IT SO WE CAN MAKE THAT WORK, AND THEN WE'LL END UP WITH THE PIECES OF THIS ROADWAY THAT'S LEFT THAT'S NOT BEING TAKEN CARE OF BY DEVELOPMENT.

THAT WILL PAY FOR TO, TO GET IT UP TO, WHICH IS FM 3286 OR 546.

AND SO THAT'S A ROADWAY THAT IS GOING TO BE CARRYING A LOT OF TRAFFIC FROM THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT WE'VE GOT.

SO THAT THOSE ARE THE WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IN OUR BOND PROGRAM THAT ARE IN THE VICINITY OF PRINCETON AND WE'LL BE WORKING WITH YOU ALL AS WE NEED TO, AS WE'RE TYING INTO THE ROADS, AS I'VE DESCRIBED AND AND WE AND YOU WILL BE IDENTIFYING NEEDS AS WE PUT THESE ROADS TOGETHER AND DETERMINE WHAT ALL NEEDS TO BE DONE.

SO THAT'S THOSE ARE PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING TO GET REBUILT.

NOW, THE OTHER PIECE OF THE GAME

[00:45:06]

AND SO THIS CAME FROM OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, AND WE PUT THEM IN THREE CATEGORIES, OR THEY PUT THEM IN THREE CATEGORIES.

ONE IS FULL DEPTH RECLAMATION, WHICH IS A SOMETHING IN BETWEEN A COMPLETE REBUILD AND AND SOME OVERLAYS.

AND THEN SEAL COATING, WHICH IS ON A COUNTY ROAD, IS TO SEAL OFF THE WATER FROM GETTING THROUGH THE CRACKS IN THE ASPHALT AND AND CAUSING THE BASE TO FAIL.

AND THEN FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT, GETTING STRIPING DONE ON A NUMBER OF ROADWAYS.

SO I DIDN'T LIST THEM ALL OUT.

I'VE GOT A LONG LIST OF THESE ROADS, BUT THOSE FLASHING WHAT LOOK LIKE TO ME FLASHING DOTS ARE BOTH ALL THE WAY FROM THE SOUTH INTO THE PENINSULA, UP TO THE NORTH SIDE OF WHERE YOU'RE GETTING UP CLOSE TO MELISSA.

SO MY REACTION WHEN I GOT THIS LIST FROM PUBLIC WORKS IS THAT SURE, SURE IS A LOT OF PROJECTS OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS.

BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE ATTEMPTING TO DO.

SO A LOT OF WORK IS GOING TO BE GOING ON FROM A MAINTENANCE STANDPOINT.

SO THOSE ARE THE PROJECTS THAT ARE TANGIBLE EITHER REBUILDING OR MAINTENANCE TYPE PROJECTS.

BUT I DID WANT TO JUST MENTION SOME OF THE PLANNING THAT'S GOING ON AS WELL.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE JUST SPENT THE LAST TWO YEARS WITH A MOBILITY STUDY FOR THE SOUTHEAST PART OF THE COUNTY OR REALLY IS THE EAST PART OF THE COUNTY. AND ONE OF THE MAJOR THINGS THAT'S COME OUT OF THAT IS AN IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR THOROUGHFARE PLAN.

THE I THINK I'VE GOT.

YEAH. IF YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBER OF LINES ON THE MAP IN 2014 VERSUS 2020.

THAT'S THE NATURE OF THE DIFFERENCE IN WHAT WE'RE WE'VE IDENTIFIED THAT IT'S NEEDED IN THE WAY OF THOROUGHFARES TO ADDRESS THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT'S COMING FROM THE POPULATION INCREASES.

SO WE SPENT A FAIR AMOUNT OF TIME FINE TUNING THIS BECAUSE WE'VE GOT LAKES AND WE'VE GOT DEVELOPMENTS AND ALL KINDS OF THINGS IN THE WAY THAT, THAT WE'VE HAD TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT.

BUT THE MAIN THING IS THAT FOR THE FOR MANY YEARS UNTIL ABOUT 2019, 2020, WE WERE LOOKING AT A VERY SKETCHY THOROUGHFARE PLAN ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE COUNTY. PEOPLE WERE NOT BELIEVING THAT IT WAS GOING TO DEVELOP THAT MUCH, AND IT'S GOING TO DEVELOP THAT MUCH.

AND IT'S PROVING OUT NOW.

AND SO WE HAVE INCREASED THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN WITH THE NUMBER OF ROADWAYS THAT'S ON IT.

SO THAT'S PART OF WHAT'S COME OUT OF PROJECT.

THING BACK UP.

OKAY. NOW, IF WILL STAY STILL.

THE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IN THE PLANNING SIDE OF IT.

AND THEN, EXCUSE ME, THE THE ROADWAY.

MORE OF WHAT I'VE TALKED ABOUT A WHILE AGO AS FAR AS MACKILLOP AND 546.

THE COMPLETION OF THAT ROADWAY, THE ALIGNMENT THAT WE'VE GOT TO FINISH.

FINISH UP ON AND DO THE WORK THAT'S NECESSARY THROUGH THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESS IN ORDER TO GET MYRICK THAT IS BUILT IN YOUR AREA, CONNECTED UP TO SPUR 399.

SO THERE'S A FAIR AMOUNT OF WORK THAT'S STILL GOT TO GET DONE IN ORDER TO MAKE THOSE CONNECTIONS IN ORDER FOR YOU TO REALIZE THE MOBILITY THAT WILL COME FROM THE ADDITIONAL LANES THAT ARE CONNECTED UP.

NOW, THE OTHER THING THAT HAS COME OUT OF OUR EASTERN STUDY IS SOMETHING THAT SOME PEOPLE LIKE THE IDEA OF AND SOME PEOPLE DON'T.

AND WE'RE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE FOUND IN OUR TRAVEL DEMAND MODELING IS THE TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF CONGESTION THAT IS PROJECTED BETWEEN PRINCETON AND MELISSA.

WE YOU'RE PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH THE FACT THAT WE'VE GOT THE OUTER LOOP, BUT THAT'S ON THE OUT A LITTLE WAYS.

[00:50:02]

AND EVERYTHING POINTED BACK TO THE FACT THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET BY WITH ANYTHING LESS THAN A FREEWAY CONNECTING US 380 ON THE NORTH SIDE OF YOUR CITY UP TO MELISSA, BASICALLY.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT STARTING THE PLANNING FOR THAT, WHICH BASICALLY WOULD BE FINDING A ROUTE.

AND THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE ANY SMALL PROJECT EITHER IN THE EFFORT OR IN THE SERIOUSNESS OF IT.

THERE. SO WE'VE IN THE STUDY WE'RE, WE'RE I'M REVIEWING THE FINAL REPORT NOW.

AND THE REPORT IS NOT GOING TO HAVE FINAL ANSWERS TO EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE DOING.

WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT ANOTHER FREEWAY IN THE SOUTH PART OF THE COUNTY.

BUT WE'VE TAKEN WE'RE BRINGING IT TO THE POINT OF HAVING IDENTIFIED THE NEED FOR THE FREEWAY AND IDENTIFYING AT LEAST SEVERAL ALTERNATIVES.

AND THE REPORT IS GOING TO BASICALLY SAY THAT ADDITIONAL STUDY NEEDS TO BE DONE, AND IT NEEDS TO BE DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

SO THESE ARE OUR THREE OPTIONS THAT WE'VE LOOKED AT.

YOU CAN SEE WHERE THEY'RE SPINNING OFF ON THE NORTH EAST SIDE OF, OF THE CITY AT 380.

AND THEN THERE'S SEVERAL DIFFERENT THINGS.

AND YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT WE'D HAVE TO GO THROUGH, WHAT WE WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH TO IDENTIFY THE ROUTES THE IMPACT, THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND THAT KIND OF THING TO TIE IN. AND THEN YOU'VE GOT NO SMALL QUESTION OF WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE OUTER LOOP AND THIS FREEWAY COMING TOGETHER AT ONE PLACE? WE'VE GOT TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS AS WELL.

BUT THIS IS WHERE WHERE WE ARE IN TRYING TO OVERCOME THAT PARTICULAR ISSUE IN THE NORTHEAST PART OF THE COUNTY. SO I KEPT FLIPPING OVER ANOTHER ROAD, WHICH IS JUST MORE EMPHASIS ON THE CONNECTION OF MYRICK OVER TO MCKILLOP AND SPUR 399.

BUT THOSE ARE THE PLANNING EFFORTS THAT WE'RE, THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING AND HAVE TO CONTINUE TO DO.

SO THAT'S THAT'S PROBABLY NOT A NUTSHELL, BUT THAT'S THE THE PROJECTS THAT WE'VE GOT ON THE TABLE THAT ARE WHAT WE THINK ARE AFFECTING. PRINCETON.

AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU'VE GOT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I APPRECIATE ALL OF THAT.

THAT WAS A LOT OF INFORMATION, BUT VERY NEEDED INFORMATION.

I KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, OUR RESIDENTS HERE, THEY'RE FRUSTRATED AND IT'S IT'S HARD TO GET IN AND OUT OF OUR CITY.

THERE'S NOT A LOT OF CONTINGENCY PLANS IF SOMETHING HAPPENS ON 380, IF THERE'S AN ACCIDENT YOU'RE KIND OF STUCK IN THE CITY.

SO THE.

IT'S A WEIRD CAT AND MOUSE SITUATION, RIGHT? SO WE'VE GOT TXDOT ON 380 AND THEN YOU GUYS OUT IN THE COUNTY, AND WHEN ONE'S BLOCKED, THE OTHER ONE'S GETTING USED, AND IT'S JUST, IT'S ROUGH.

SO I THINK OUR MAIN MY MAIN HURT IN THIS IS THAT WE'RE SEEING SO MANY ACCIDENTS.

WE HAVE SO MANY EITHER FATALITIES OR PEOPLE IN JUST VERY CRITICAL SITUATIONS, AND SO I THINK THIS IS HELPFUL TO OUR RESIDENTS TO SEE THAT THERE ARE ANSWERS AND THAT THERE IS A GAME PLAN BECAUSE A LOT OF RESIDENTS THINK THAT JUST NOTHING'S HAPPENING.

AND IT'S HARD TO JUSTIFY THAT WHEN YOU CAN'T SEE IT, WHEN IT'S THEIR FAMILIES WHO ARE THE ONES WHO ARE IN THE ACCIDENT.

SO I APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION.

WHATEVER WE NEED TO DO TO HELP YOU IN THAT PARTNERSHIP.

YOU KNOW, MR. MAPP IS AMAZING.

AND I'VE GOT FULL FAITH IN HIM THAT HE'S WORKING HAND IN HAND WITH YOU.

BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE HERE TO BE A PARTNER WITH YOU ON THAT.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR IT.

IF I COULD ADD ONE POINT TO THAT, WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT SOME SAFETY DATA THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. US 75 HAS GOT, BY AND LARGE THE US 75, NOT FM 75, THE GREATEST NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS.

AND THAT'S THAT'S LOGICAL.

IT'S GOT THE MOST TRAFFIC OF ANYTHING IN THE COUNTY.

BUT WHAT'S INTERESTING IS, IS THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE ACCIDENT REPORTS, YOU HAVE TO GO ABOUT FOUR DEEP TO GET TO STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS, ALMOST ALL OF THE ACCIDENTS ARE HUMAN ERROR.

SO I WOULD CHALLENGE YOU, AND WE'RE TRYING TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO LOOK AT SOMETHING ELSE, IN ADDITION TO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THE PHYSICAL SIDE OF IT. EDUCATION CAMPAIGNS.

YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED DECADES AGO WITH THE LITTER CAMPAIGN THAT FINALLY TOOK AND HELPED YOU KNOW, THAT THAT FROM AN ENVIRONMENTAL STANDPOINT, THINGS STARTED TO HAPPEN WHEN.

[00:55:03]

SO I THINK WE REALLY GOT TO THINK OUT OF THE BOX TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT WE CAN DO TO HELP OUR CITIZENS THINK SAFER, ALONG WITH THE PHYSICAL THINGS THAT WE CAN DO ON THE ROADWAYS.

SO FOR SURE, AND AGAIN, WE'RE HAPPY TO BE A PARTNER IN THAT, TO SEE HOW WE CAN THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX AND JUST DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVES THAT WE CAN HAVE.

DID YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? HAS ANY CONSIDERATION BEEN GIVEN TO BUILDING UP LIKE HIGHWAY 35 IN IN DALLAS? AND WHAT'S THE PROHIBITION THERE, IF ANY? YEAH. THE THAT COMES UP A NUMBER OF TIMES.

IT CAME UP A LOT ON US 380.

BUT THERE HAS IN THE PAST AND I MEAN, DECADES PAST, THERE HAS BEEN SO MUCH NEGATIVE REACTION TO BUILDING UP THAT AND WE DON'T GET INTO IT TOO MUCH.

JENNIFER CAN ADDRESS IT, AND PERHAPS.

BUT TXDOT DOESN'T GO THAT ROUTE EITHER.

THEY ARE DOING IT IN, IN AUSTIN BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY THERE.

BUT FOR AN EXAMPLE IN THE CITY OF PLANO, THE SPRING CREEK PARKWAY WAS DESTINED FOR GREAT SEPARATIONS AT ALL OF THE THE NORTH SOUTH.

INTERSECTIONS IN ORDER TO HAVE MORE THROUGHPUT.

AND THE COUNCIL TOOK THAT AWAY BECAUSE ALL OF THE CITIZENS AND THE AND THE COMMERCIAL OWNERS DID NOT WANT TRAFFIC BYPASSING, AND THEY DIDN'T WANT IT TO BE SEEN UP IN THE AIR AND THAT KIND OF THING.

SO THERE'S JUST SO MUCH NEGATIVE REACTION FROM THE INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE, CITIZENS THAT IT'S IT'S USUALLY JUST NOT CONSIDERED.

NOW, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU CAN'T PROPOSE IT AND, AND ASK FOR IT TO BE CONSIDERED.

BUT YES, I LOOK AT LIKE THE 380 AND THEN JUST THE OTHER ROADS LEADING IN AND OUT OF PRINCETON THINKING ABOUT SAFETY, THINKING THAT WE DO NOT HAVE LIKE A MEDICAL FACILITY.

AND WE WOULD WE'RE HEAVILY DEPENDENT UPON MCKINNEY AND THE OTHER CITIES, AND ALSO BECAUSE OF THE WATERWAYS AND THE LIMITATION OF BROADENING WHAT'S ALREADY THERE.

I'M THINKING SINCE AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE DEVELOPMENTS THAT HAVE OCCURRED THAT MAY IMPEDE YOU KNOW, PUTTING THE ROADWAYS IN. SO IT'S QUITE A CHALLENGE.

AND I'M THINKING IT PROBABLY WOULD BE WORTH CONSIDERING HAVING SUSPENDED OR ELEVATED HIGHWAYS AND YEAH, PLANO IS ALREADY BUILT UP.

AND THEN TO PUT LIKE THAT, A STRUCTURE LIKE THAT IN SPRING CREEK WOULD PROBABLY NOT BE A GOOD THING.

BUT NOW THAT WE HAVE LIKE VIRGIN AREAS OUT IN THE COUNTRY, IT PROBABLY IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE WORTHWHILE CONSIDERING.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

ANYBODY ELSE.

OKAY. IF NOT, I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU BET.

ALL RIGHT. THAT'S GOING TO TAKE US TO AGENDA ITEM K THREE 2024 111, PRESENTATION TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON EXPLORING POSSIBLE INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES AS REQUESTED BY COUNCIL MEMBER OBERA. GOOD AFTERNOON, HONORABLE MAYOR AND ESTEEMED COUNCIL.

I'M EXCITED.

WELL, FIRST OF ALL, MY NAME IS FALLON CARRILLO.

I'M THE DIRECTOR OF EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE, AND I'M EXCITED TO EXPLORE POSSIBLE INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES WITH THE CITY OF PRINCETON.

SO CURRENTLY, EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE WOULD LIKE TO SHARE PLANS FOR EXPLORING POSSIBLE INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES.

THE CITY OF PRINCETON WOULD LIKE TO COLLABORATE WITH PRINCETON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT TO CREATE A SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.

THE PROPOSED SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM WILL AIM TO PROVIDE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WITH VALUABLE HANDS ON EXPERIENCE IN VARIOUS CITY DEPARTMENTS, FOSTERING A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS AND ENCOURAGING CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AMONG OUR YOUTH.

THIS INITIATIVE ALIGNS WITH THE COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, PURPOSEFUL PARTNERSHIPS AND INVESTMENTS IN OUR FUTURE LEADERS.

SO, DUE TO OUR CURRENT SETUP WITH LIABILITY AND BACKGROUND CHECKS, WE ARE ACCEPTING POLICE DEPARTMENT VOLUNTEERS, BUT THEY MUST BE 18 YEARS OR OLDER.

EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE HAS TASKED OUR PERSONNEL ETERNITY TO CREATE A CONSENT FORM THAT WILL ALLOW INDIVIDUALS UNDER 18 YEARS OLD TO VOLUNTEER.

THIS IS A TEMPORARY SOLUTION UNTIL THE INTERIM PROGRAM CAN BE ESTABLISHED.

SO HERE IS A GUIDELINE AND AN ESTIMATE FOR HOW WE WOULD MOVE FORWARD UNDER YOUR DIRECTIVE TO MEET WITH THE CITY OF PRINCETON DEPARTMENT HEADS TO

[01:00:03]

CURRENTLY IN MY CAREER BEING AN INTERN YEARS AGO, INTERNS TEND TO HAVE MEANINGLESS TASKS SUCH AS MAKING COPIES AND STAPLES.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE STUDENTS WHO DO COME AND HAVE AN INTERNSHIP WITH US HAVE MEANINGFUL TASKS, NOT JUST COPIES AND PUSHING PAPER, BUT ALSO UNDERSTAND HOW OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT GOES.

WE ALSO WANT TO CONTACT THE PRINCETON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT REGARDING THE COLLABORATION, I KNOW CURRENTLY THE HIGH SCHOOL HAS SOME PARTNERSHIPS WITH COLLIN COUNTY COLLEGE AND STUDENTS CAN WORK ON ASSOCIATE DEGREES WHILE THEY'RE IN HIGH SCHOOL.

JUST EXPLORE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO HAVE A MEANINGFUL PARTNERSHIP FOR OUR YOUTH.

ALSO, CONSULT WITH LEGAL COUNSEL ON DOCUMENTATION, POLICIES AND LIABILITIES.

SINCE WE WILL HAVE YOUTH ON ON THE PREMISES, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE SAFE AND THAT WE HAVE EVERYTHING WE NEED TO PROVIDE THEM WITH.

WE ALSO WANT TO ASSESS THE BUDGET OBLIGATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH AN INTERNSHIP, SUCH AS SALARIES, EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT COMES ALONG WITH THAT.

ONCE THOSE NEEDS ARE IDENTIFIED, WE WANT TO REQUEST FUNDING FROM THE PRINCETON COMMUNITY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND OTHER SPONSORS THAT WE HAVE.

AS STATED IN THE MEMO, THE CITY OF PLANO HAS A WONDERFUL TEEN VOLUNTEER PROGRAM AND AN INTERNSHIP PROGRAM.

THEY ALSO SECURE A LOT OF FUNDING FROM LOCAL BUSINESSES, BANKS AND OTHER ESTABLISHMENTS TO FUND THESE PROJECTS.

AND THAT'S WHO I WILL BE CONSULTING WITH TO GET SOME DIRECTIVE.

AFTER THAT, WE PLAN TO LAUNCH THE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE CITY OF PRINCETON SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM, PARTNERING WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO DO SO, AND WITH THE HELP OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, I WOULD LIKE TO IDENTIFY INTERNS IN APRIL.

ONCE WE HAVE THIS PROGRAM ROLLING, WE'LL CONTINUE TO EVALUATE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE IMPROVE AREAS THAT ARE NEEDED AND JUST BEING OUR FIRST TIME, UNDERSTAND HOW THIS PROGRAM NEEDS TO MOVE FORWARD TO IMPROVE BECAUSE WE PROGRESS WITH PURPOSE.

AFTER THAT, WE WILL CONTINUE TO REFINE THE NECESSARY AREAS AND WILL FOLLOW UP ONGOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE NEEDS ARE MET AND THAT WE'RE FULFILLING THE VISION THAT YOU GUYS HAVE FOR THE INTERNSHIP, AS WELL AS PARTNERING WITH PRINCETON ISD.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR DIRECTIVES? THANK YOU.

WONDERFUL PRESENTATION.

I'M EXTREMELY EXCITED ABOUT THIS AND I CAN TELL YOU PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO THIS.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

YEAH I'M EXCITED.

MR. OBERA. YES, I DO APPRECIATE THIS PRESENTATION AS WELL.

HAVE WE, WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS TO BEGIN MOVING FORWARD IN THIS? I KNOW I REQUESTED A PRESENTATION JUST SO THE POSSIBILITIES, BUT HAVE WE STARTED, YOU KNOW, HAVE WE STARTED ENGAGING WITH THE ISD IN REGARDS TO THIS? NOT YET.

SO CURRENTLY WE HAVE HAD TALKS INTERNALLY ABOUT THE NEED FOR INTERNSHIPS.

AGAIN, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A PLAN MOVING FORWARD.

SO WHEN I DO GO TO PRINCETON ISD, I CAN SAY, HEY, WE CAN EXPOSE THEM TO PUBLIC WORKS POLICE DEPARTMENT, HERE, A TASK IN CITY SECRETARY'S OFFICE, SO ON AND SO FORTH. SO ONCE THAT'S IRONED OUT, THEN I WILL GO BEFORE PRINCETON ISD AND HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS.

THANK YOU. IN ADDITION TO GOING TO, LIKE, THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND LOCAL BUSINESSES, HAVE YOU EXPLORED ANY POSSIBLE COUNTY, STATE OR NATIONAL GRANT FUNDING THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE FOR THIS PROGRAM? CURRENTLY, I HAVEN'T, BUT THAT WOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE.

AND I WILL LOOK INTO THOSE THINGS AS WELL.

THAT WOULD BE GOOD.

ANYTHING ELSE.

OKAY. IF NOT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

VERY NICE PRESENTATION. WE APPRECIATE YOU.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THAT WILL TAKE US TO AGENDA ITEM K4, 2024 113, PRESENTATION REGARDING THE ACTUAL COST FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE RECENTLY COMPLETED COLLEGE STREET EXTENSION.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR CHACON COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS CRAIG FISHER, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS AGENDA ITEM IS TO INFORM CITY COUNCIL OF THE ACTUAL COST OF TO COMPLETE THE COLLEGE STREET EXTENSION.

THIS ROADWAY WAS COMPLETED BY MI HOMES.

THEY DEVELOPED THE FOREST PARK NEIGHBORHOOD JUST SOUTH OF THE COMMUNITY PARK, ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF COLLEGE STREET.

THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT OUTLINED A SET AMOUNT FOR THE DEVELOPER TO PAY, AND AN ESTIMATED AMOUNT FOR THE CITY TO PAY FOR THAT ROADWAY.

THE ACTUAL AMOUNT CAME UP $346,000 ABOVE WHAT WAS ESTIMATED.

THE DEVELOPER IS HERE TO EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE IN THE PRICING.

[01:05:04]

THANK YOU CRAIG. THANK YOU MAYOR.

COUNCIL APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME UP HERE AND SPEAK.

AND FIRST OFF, I'LL INTRODUCE MYSELF.

MY NAME IS KEVIN DIM, AND I'M THE VP OF LAND FOR MI HOMES OF DFW.

AND WE ARE THE DEVELOPER FOR THE FOREST PARK PROJECT.

I'VE ALSO GOT MY COLLEAGUE ZACH MOTLEY HERE AS WELL.

HE ALSO WORKS ON OUR LAND TEAM FOR THE LOCAL DIVISION.

SO AS CRAIG MENTIONED, WE WERE INVITED BY STAFF TO COME PRESENT AND SORT OF EXPLAIN UNDER THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, OUR PROJECT GOING BACK, THERE'S A TIMELINE HERE IN THIS PRESENTATION.

I'LL COME ON THAT SLIDE IN A MINUTE.

BUT BACK IN 2020, WE PUT THIS PROPERTY UNDER CONTRACT.

AT THE TIME, IT WAS IN AN ESTATE.

AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WERE AROUND BACK IN 2019, 2020, YOU KNOW, THAT COLLEGE STREET DID NOT CONNECT BACK TO BEAUCHAMP. BEAUCHAMP DIDN'T EXIST ON THE NORTH SIDE OF 380.

SO IT WAS PRETTY LANDLOCKED BACK THERE.

AND THERE WAS REALLY NO CONNECTIVITY FROM THE EAST TO THE WEST, COMING FROM THE OLDER PART OF TOWN OVER THERE.

AND THERE WAS REALLY JUST THE, THE BRIDGE, THE EXISTING BRIDGE THAT WAS BUILT A LONG TIME AGO TO GET TO THE CITY PARK.

SO THERE WAS REALLY POOR ACCESS BACK THERE.

AND SO WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT THE PROPERTY, WE REALIZED IT'S NOT BIG ENOUGH TO GET PUBLIC REIMBURSEMENTS FOR THE OFF SITE COSTS THAT WE WERE GOING TO BEAR FOR THIS INVESTMENT.

AND SO SPECIFICALLY, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF DEVELOPERS GET PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS OR MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICTS AND DIFFERENT FINANCING VEHICLES LIKE THAT, BUT THIS PROJECT WAS TOO SMALL FOR THAT.

SO WE KNEW THAT THE ACCESS NEEDED TO BE IMPROVED, THE CITY WANTED THE ACCESS TO BE IMPROVED.

AND AT THAT TIME THIS PROPERTY WAS IN THE EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION OF THE CITY.

SO IT WASN'T EVEN IN THE CITY.

SO WE CAME TO PRINCETON AND WE WORKED THROUGH AN AGREEMENT WHERE AT THE TIME WE HAD 160 LOTS DESIGNED.

WE ENDED UP WITH 158.

BUT OUR AGREEMENT WAS THAT WE WERE GOING TO INVEST UP TO THE ROAD IMPACT FEES THAT WERE AT THAT TIME OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TOWARDS BUILDING COLLEGE STREET BEYOND THE LIMITS OF OUR PROPERTY.

FORTUNATELY, THE CITY HAD ALL THAT PROPERTY IN THE PARK AREA, SO THERE WASN'T ANY OFF SITE EASEMENT ACQUISITION OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT THAT HAD TO OCCUR. SO IT MADE IT PRETTY CLEAN AND SIMPLE FROM A, YOU KNOW, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION STANDPOINT.

BUT AS YOU KNOW, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION THINGS COME UP AND COVID CAME UP.

THAT WAS ONE BIG THING.

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE ESTIMATE OF THE COST AT THE TIME WERE BASED ON IT WAS PRE DESIGN.

SO WE HADN'T EVEN DESIGNED THE ROADWAY BECAUSE WE WERE AT THE TIME NEGOTIATING THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

SO THOSE OPINIONS OF PROBABLE COST BY ENGINEERS ARE BASED ON AN ESTIMATE OF WHAT A THE UNIT COSTS ARE GOING TO BE AND B WHAT THE WHAT THE ACTUAL QUANTITIES ARE GOING TO BE.

SO ONCE WE GOT INTO DESIGN, I'M GOING TO ACTUALLY SKIP FORWARD A LITTLE BIT SINCE I'M DOING A HISTORY HERE.

THIS IS THE TIMELINE.

SO YOU CAN SEE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2020 IS WHEN WE HAD THE ENGINEER AT KIMLEY-HORN DO THE OPINION OF I'M SORRY, LJ DID THE OPINION OF PROBABLE CAUSE.

KIMLEY-HORN WAS REPRESENTING THE CITY AT THE TIME.

I THINK THEY MAY STILL BE THE CITY'S ENGINEER.

SO THEY WERE REVIEWING THE OPINION OF PROBABLE COST AS WELL AS CITY STAFF.

AND THEN AROUND THAT TIME, THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WAS APPROVED.

IT GOT RECORDED IN NOVEMBER OF 2020.

AND THEN, YOU KNOW, COVID HIT BEFORE THAT, OBVIOUSLY.

AND SO WE WERE LIMITED ON OUR ABILITY TO MEET IN PERSON.

EVERYTHING WAS, YOU KNOW, A LOT MORE DIFFICULT FOR A LITTLE WHILE THERE TO GET THINGS DONE.

BUT WE DID GET THROUGH THE DESIGN.

AND AS WE WENT THROUGH THE DESIGN AND THE BACK AND FORTH ON THE APPROVALS BY THE CITY YOU KNOW, THERE WAS DIFFERENT QUANTITY DIFFERENCES AND SPECIFICATIONS THAT CAME UP THAT MADE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE EXPENSIVE AT THAT TIME.

TO DEVELOP THE PROJECT.

LET ME GO.

WHERE DO I POINT TOWARDS?

[01:10:01]

SO. OKAY, SO THE ORIGINAL OPINION OF PROBABLE CAUSE, THAT'S WHAT THAT OK IS THERE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE. THAT'S ENGINEERING JARGON.

THERE'S SORT OF A BUCKETS OF COSTS THAT WERE ALLOCATED WITHIN THAT OPINION OF PROBABLE COST AND THE COST OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE ALL IN AT THE TIME WAS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 1.3 AND SOME CHANGE.

AND THEN BY THE TIME WE ACTUALLY WENT TO CONTRACT WITH THE CONTRACTORS THE COST CAME IN RIGHT AROUND THE SAME COST.

SO A MILLION. THREE. THREE, FIVE.

THERE WERE SOME CHANGES IN WHAT THE QUANTITIES WERE AND WHAT THE PRICES WERE AT THE TIME, BUT THAT'S WHERE WE ENDED UP.

AND THEN THE COLUMN ON THE RIGHT IS THE ACTUAL COSTS OF THE PROJECT, WHEN ALL WAS SAID AND DONE.

SO AS I GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION, YOU'LL SEE THE PAVING WAS A PRETTY LARGE COMPONENT OF THAT.

BUT YEAH, HERE'S A BREAKDOWN OF THE BASE DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT WAS 1,000,001 61.

AND THEN THERE'S ENGINEERING AND CITY FEES AND MAINTENANCE, WHICH I THINK EROSION CONTROL AND SOME OTHER THINGS COME AND FALL INTO THAT BUCKET.

AND THEN THE CHANGE IN SCOPE FROM FROM THE BASE DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT PLUS CHANGE ORDERS WAS 337, JUST UNDER 338,000.

SO THAT REPRESENTED ABOUT 20% OF THE TOTAL COST OF THE PROJECT.

NEXT SLIDE OKAY.

SO HERE'S AN ANALYSIS.

THINK ABOUT IT IN KIND OF THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BUCKETS.

ONE BEING THE BIG 148% WAS A PAVING COST CHANGE ORDER WHERE THE CONTRACTOR SENT A FORCE MAJEURE NOTICE AND WOULDN'T PERFORM.

WE'LL SHOW A LITTLE MORE BACKGROUND ON THAT HERE IN ONE OF THE NEXT SLIDES.

BUT BEFORE WE GO THERE YOU'LL SEE 8% OF IT WAS ROUGHLY RELATED TO JUST MEETING CITY STANDARDS ONCE THE PLANS ACTUALLY GOT APPROVED. AND THEN ALSO AFTER DEVELOPMENT STARTS, SOMETIMES OUT IN THE FIELD, YOU KNOW, THE PUBLIC WORKS PEOPLE IDENTIFY THINGS THAT MAYBE THE ENGINEER DIDN'T IDENTIFY. AND SO YOU GET CHANGES IN SCOPE AFTER YOU GET OUT THERE AND START DOING THINGS.

AND THEN THE THIRD BUCKET, WHICH IS A PRETTY LARGE COMPONENT OF THE TOTAL COST OVERRUN, THE 147,000 WAS CHANGES THAT WERE DIRECTED BY THE CITY STAFF AT THE TIME.

ADDITIONAL SCOPE THAT JUST WASN'T IN THE CONSTRUCTION PLANS.

SO IT FELL OUTSIDE OF THAT SCOPE.

BUT THERE WERE THINGS THAT THE CITY WANTED US TO DO BEFORE WE CAN TURN THE PROJECT OVER TO THE CITY.

SO IN THAT ONE OF THE BIG BUCKETS WAS, WELL, I GUESS I DON'T HAVE THE BREAKDOWN HERE, BUT WE'VE GIVEN A DETAIL TO THE STAFF.

ONE OF THE BIG LINE ITEMS IS LIKE 70 PLUS THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR SOD ALONG THE ENTIRE RUNWAY OF COLLEGE STREET, SO THAT IT WAS NICE AND GREENED UP.

THE CITY COULD HAVE HAD, YOU KNOW, SEED DOWN THERE, BUT AT THE TIME THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT STAFF WANTED.

AND THEY SAID, YOU NEED TO PUT SOD DOWN.

SO WE SAID, OKAY, WE'LL PUT WE'LL PUT SOD DOWN.

SO TO FINISH THE PROJECT, SOMETIMES WE WORK WITH THE CITIES AND WE DO, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE'RE ASKED TO DO.

AND WE DID COMMUNICATE AT THAT TIME.

WE SAID, LOOK, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO PAY UP TO A CAPPED AMOUNT.

SO IF YOU WANT THESE THINGS, THEY DO COST MONEY.

AND THIS IS ON THE CITY.

ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS? AND SO THE SOD WAS ONE EXAMPLE.

THERE'S SOME EMAIL EXCHANGES THAT WE PROVIDED TO THE CITY WITH THE PRIOR STAFF.

SO WE CAN WE CAN TALK MORE ABOUT THAT.

I DON'T HAVE ALL THE INVOICES HERE WITH ME TODAY, SO I'M NOT PREPARED TO SPEAK TO SPECIFIC ONES.

BUT GOING BACK TO THE BIG CONCRETE CHANGE ORDER THAT I SPOKE ABOUT, ZACK OVER HERE PREPARED A SLIDE OF JUST WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THE WORLD DURING THAT TIME PERIOD AND BEING IN THE RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS.

AND, YOU KNOW, AND PROBABLY EVERYBODY IN HERE KNOWS HOUSING COSTS HAVE GONE CRAZY.

AND PART OF THAT IS THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IT TAKES TO BUILD THE NEIGHBORHOODS.

AND AT THE TIME, STEEL REBAR WENT CRAZY HIGH.

DIESEL FUEL WENT UP 73% IN 12 MONTHS, AND CONCRETE AND CEMENT HAD A HUGE INCREASE TOO, IN THE WAY THE TIMING WORKED.

IT WAS RIGHT BEFORE THE CONTRACTOR WAS SUPPOSED TO COMMENCE AND THEY SAID, HEY, WE'VE GOT ALL THESE OTHER JOBS.

WE CAN'T GET CONCRETE FOR ALL OF OUR JOBS.

WE'VE GOT HUGE UNIT COST OVERRUNS, FORCE MAJEURE.

[01:15:02]

JUST DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR, NO PROFIT ON TOP.

BUT HERE'S THE COST INCREASE.

IF YOU WANT US TO MOBILIZE, YOU KNOW, SIGN THE CHANGE ORDER.

SO WE WANTED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT.

YOU KNOW WE'RE IN THE BUSINESS OF BUILDING HOMES.

SO IF WE JUST SIT THERE AND WAIT FOR THEM TO COME A YEAR LATER, IT DOESN'T, YOU KNOW, REALLY DO US VERY GOOD.

AND I KNOW THE CITY ALSO WANTED TO SEE THAT PROJECT COMPLETED.

SO WE HAD URGENCY.

WE MOVED, WE GOT THE JOB DONE AND IT'S FINISHED.

AND I THINK NOW IT PROVIDES REALLY GOOD CONNECTIVITY, YOU KNOW, FROM THE EAST TO THE WEST AND TO THE CITY PARK.

AND IT'S A PRETTY NICE PROJECT.

I DROVE IT TODAY. THE LANDSCAPING IS HELD UP WELL, THANKFULLY WITH ALL THE RAIN WE'VE GOTTEN.

AND SO THAT'S BASICALLY THE BACKGROUND.

I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANY MORE SLIDES, DO I? YEAH. SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, HIGH LEVEL, THE CITY STAFF WANTED TO BRING ME AND OUR TEAM IN HERE TO JUST TALK THROUGH, BECAUSE I KNOW THERE WAS TURNOVER WITH THE STAFF. AND YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS HAVE A BUDGET AND YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE ACCOUNTING FOR EVERY DOLLAR YOU SPEND.

AND WE WE UNDERSTAND THAT.

SO WE WANT TO FILL IN THE GAPS WHERE WE CAN.

BUT AS PART OF THE AGREEMENT, THE CITY DOES OWE THAT AMOUNT.

WE'VE BEEN OUT OF POCKET WITH THE MONEY FOR, YOU KNOW, A LONG TIME.

SO ANYWAY, WE LIKE TO BRING THIS TO A HEAD.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. IS THAT THE END OF THAT? YEP. OKAY. THANK YOU.

IN FULL TRANSPARENCY.

SO MUCH ABOUT THIS IS INFURIATING TO ME.

I UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE, YOU KNOW, LEGALLY BOUND, AND WE'RE UNDER CONTRACT, AND WE'LL KEEP OUR WORD ON THAT.

SO OBVIOUSLY, IF WE OWE THE MONEY, WE'LL PAY THAT.

THIS IS A TRUE REPRESENTATION OF A SITUATION WE'LL NEVER BE IN AGAIN.

SO YES, WE DO HAVE A TURNOVER IN STAFF.

WE ARE UNDER DIFFERENT MANAGEMENT.

AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL NEVER SEE AN AGREEMENT LIKE THIS.

SO THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION.

I KNOW YOU OFFER TO GIVE, YOU KNOW, EMAIL EXCHANGES BACK AND FORTH.

WE DON'T NEED TO SEE THAT IT IS WHAT IT IS AT THIS POINT.

SO THANK YOU.

GENTLEMEN, DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU NEED TO ADD TO THAT? OKAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

ALL RIGHT. THAT'LL TAKE US TO AGENDA K FIVE 2024 110.

CONSIDER APPROVING A REQUEST FOR ITEMS TO BE PLACED ON A FUTURE AGENDA, AND NOT FOR DISCUSSION OF THESE REQUESTS.

COUNCIL, DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU NEEDED TO ADD TONIGHT FOR A FUTURE AGENDA? I DO.

GIVEN THE FACT TONIGHT WE APPOINTED MEMBERS TO THE ZONING BOARD OF ADMINISTRATION OF ADJUSTMENTS, SORRY, AND ALSO TO THE PNC.

AND WE HAD A LOT OF QUALIFIED APPLICANTS, AND I HOPE THE THOSE WHO DID NOT MAKE THE BOARD OR WERE NOT APPOINTED DON'T FEEL IT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT QUALIFIED. BUT WE HAD DIFFICULT CHOICES.

AND SO I'M WONDERING IF THE BOARD WOULD GIVE CONSIDERATION TO PERHAPS PULLING THOSE INDIVIDUALS TO FORM A CITIZEN OR ADVISORY OR RESIDENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE SO THAT WE CAN CALL UPON THEM TO STILL BE INVOLVED IN CITY PLANNING AND TO HELP MOVE OUR CITY FORWARD.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

ANYTHING ELSE ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO ADD THIS EVENING? I HAVE OH. I'M SORRY.

I'LL LET SOMEBODY ELSE GO, BUT I.

OKAY, I'LL FINISH UP.

I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE US CONSIDER MAXINE EARLIER TALKED ABOUT THAT SPECTRUM CABLE BOX THAT NEEDS TO BE BURIED. I THINK IT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO CONSIDER.

AND CLINT SPOKE ABOUT THE ANIMAL SITUATION.

I'M SURE WE'VE ALL BEEN PRIVY TO THE MANY FACEBOOK, FACEBOOK NEXT DOOR RING ANIMAL LOST ALERTS, AND I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE MAYBE NEED TO START ADDRESSING AS A CITY.

OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE, GUYS? SO. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. IF THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, I WILL GO AHEAD AND ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADJOURN.

OH, ACTUALLY, I FORGOT. REPORT AGENDA.

[L. REPORT AGENDA]

WITH THAT BEING SAID, IF ANYONE WANTS TO MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN.

I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION TO ADJOURN.

OKAY. DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND IT.

ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
