Capital Improvement Plan - 5-26-23 City Council Strategic Planning Workshop

[0:00:00] you're first on the list for the airport so we will start with that and if you will educate us on all of these items on your CIP [Music] all right thank you mayor it's kind of nice having the same last similar last name to Daniel usually we're last in the order so we're starting with an a is good good that's good um airport Storage Barn so as you know we signed all a lease with border patrol and with Skyline that's where we were storing all of our equipment so we now have nowhere to store equipment so we're just looking for a storage barn to store all of our tractors and Equipment just to get it out of the hail and somewhere to put it construct the South taxi Lane so this this project we presented to you we're going to build all those hangers the 10 by 10s or excuse me the hundred by hundreds the 90 by 90s and the 60 by 60s on the south taxi Lane we've been looking to do this for a long time um we have got the grant money to do it we had bids open last two weeks ago and we had no bidders for the project so we've gone back to the drawing board the FAA is suggesting that we go to concrete um actually FAA grade concrete is not that more expensive than FAA grade Asphalt in San Angelo because it's hard to get that product um being this far away from the Metroplex area so we are rebidding that project out next week we'll open bids I think June 30th for that project that project also is running in conjunction with the convert Runway 927 to taxiway Hotel project we're bidding those two projects out together on the hangers right now based off of the availability of those hangers when completed what's the interest level very high with the 24 Hangar pads that we have available I'm up to 16 tenants

[0:02:03] that have already sent a letter of interest in to lease those facilities so and we'd really particular size more important than the others the 90 by 90s Are full I got three of the 400 by hundreds committed to and then several 60 by 60s and we haven't really marketed it other than here so I think once we really Market it they're going to fill up pretty fast so what you're trying to do is get someone to build these hangers for us and then we lease them out no we would just provide the taxi Lane and we would provide the land in a raw land lease and then the individual tenant can get their own hanger built on the land and then they get a somewhat long-term lease on it correct yeah standard lease is about 12 cents per square foot per year and a typical at least is a 20-year lease with four or five year extension so you're looking at a 40-year lease the taxiway project as I said that's running in conjunction we should hear from Congress they want to make announcements the middle of June if we're going to get that discretionary funding or not I meet with the FAA quite frequently and he's very very optimistic we're going to get the discretionary funding to do that we apply for Grant tax not grants separately from federal government for our projects we do not because Texas is a block grant State the FAA all the commercial service airports the FAA doesn't direct grants with us the general aviation airports the FAA gives them just a lump sum and then the TxDOT can determine where that money goes that money does not come back to commercial service airports but there is opportunity we have reached out to TxDOT about keeping Runway 927 just based off ASU with the Flight Training we talked about the need for that crosswind Runway TxDOT will not support it because the FAA will not support it okay um in the process of of extending that Runway is talk about the time frame on that again please

[0:04:05] um on the 927 conversion yes please that's going to be a very quick project because we're going to have both runways closed well we'll close Runway three two one while working in there then we'll open it back up and close 1836 that's only a 60-day time frame to get both these projects done okay it moves quick good uh Hangar Road reconstruction is complete um no excuse me excuse me that Entrance Road reconstruction is complete Hangar Road that's just the road when you're coming into the terminal it's a non-eligible portion of the road as you head down to all the the tenant own hangers there's just a lot of potholes in it it's an old road and it needs to be redone fa will not touch it they consider it more public use because it's on the public side of the fence we need chance [Laughter] amplify uh Jet Bridge reconstruction you've heard about this there's some grant money out there under the bipartisan infrastructure law so I'm applying for those grants it's a very competitive program it'll run for the next three and a half years but we are trying to get secure about three million dollars in grant funding to get the jet Bridges rebuilt the problem with our bridges now is they are teller radio Bridges there's only three airports in the entire United States from what I told the have tele radio Bridges and they won't link up to the new 175 aircraft that American Airlines is bringing in so that's it again the bridges we have will not link up to the 175 aircraft just by Design because they're so old so the ramp Drive bridges are the new design Bridges all airports are moving to those that's what you see at all the other airports where the actual tires will rotate and you can link up to any aircraft so we would like to get those replaced under that bipartisan infrastructure law Bill and there's grant money for that there is grant money for that it's it is discretionary so we have to compete we're going to compete right yes we're going to compete and the FAA has money for that or not or

[0:06:08] is that all the grant money comes from them yes yep it's FAA it's a 90 10 split so we would need a get 10 match it is PFC eligible for reimbursement and the time frame is immediate on that that we apply for the grant or yeah and I've been applying for the last two years I apply every year there the FAA is prioritizing the large hubs as they always do usually in years three four and five they start to trickle down to the non-hubs and some of the ga airport so I'm pretty optimistic and I work with the fa and he recognizes the importance of this project but I'm pretty optimistic in years three four and five which we're in now we'll start to see some of that grant money come to us well conceptually will that grant money become available at the same time that we need it to convert because of the Airlines plane we're already too late the 175 comes in Daily two of the three aircraft that come in are the 175. so the bridge can only get so close to the Jet and then they have to put the mobile boarding Bridge down so we can't put the canopy overneath so we make it work but it's it doesn't link up to the airplane okay um taxiway Delta this is just on our Capital Improvement plan that we submit to the FAA every year um we're requesting to use a million dollars of our entitlements plus the remaining 5.5 of discretionary to reconstruct taxiway Delta now strictly just because the age the FAA gives the useful life of asphalt 20 years so it's beyond its 20-year Lifetime and it's due for replacement um and these are on the out years rehab Hangar roofs we just we do get rain in West Texas um and so we've got several recently we've got several hangers out there and the roofs are old the skylights are leaking so we're just trying to be strategic and put some money every year

[0:08:10] towards replacing Hangar roofs to protect the assets inside we require in our contracts for spaces that we have at the airport and their lease that they have to invest back into the facilities at all because I know many cities as a part of a long-term lease for operation or leasing of buildings as a requirement to invest x amount of dollars back into the facility that's correct we do not do that here what we do require is that they maintain the facility other than footings foundations the structural components of the hangers that we own and least back to them we maintain they maintain everything else we don't put a dollar amount in there I have seen that in other airport leases where if you put ten thousand dollars we will extend the lifetime of your lease another year so that is language we could consider but we don't currently have that in any of our leases um rehabilitate Runway one eight three six tax away alpha bravo again this is driven by our FAA Capital Improvement plan I believe that's two or three years out from now same with Runway rehabilitate Runway three two one it's on the capital Improvement plan for the FAA that we're just looking at a seal coat and paint Runway 321 is the it's the instrument Runway it's actually in really good shape compared to 1836 terminal drainage improvements again that's on our Capital Improvement program as you know we flooded the terminal uh time to time when we get significant rains so we're asking for some federal help to improve the drainage around the terminal building you have any drainage issues over the past uh nope nope it got close to the to the bottom of the door but it never breached the door it does rain inside the terminal though we're trying to get that fixed rain is good right is good uh let's see terminal improvements so

[0:10:13] again this is that bipartisan infrastructure law there's money available for terminal improvements um as you notice the bathrooms at the terminal are getting pretty old and and worn down so we'd like to just replace the bathrooms give them a bit of an upgrade HVAC units are highly competitive with this program so we've thrown them in there because my HVAC units are over 20 years old and the roofs leak roofs are also very competitive in this program as well so we're hoping with the HVAC and roof project we can also get the bathrooms remodeled in the terminal using grant money that's a 95.5 split so five percent of that can be covered with pfcs terminal I.T improvements again this is from Federal grant money that was available through covid-19 but we're looking at upgrading our conference room to allow for some virtual meetings just to maximize the availability of that Grant are we with the um and I forget the terminology but I know Brian Groves presented some improvements um to be paid for by the fee that Optimum gives us the peg fee yeah can those funds be used to do this at the airport I think it can only be used for a programming that goes on Channel 17 or the television so create a program sure you can go on Channel 17. so we can use that to improve your I.T I like some local Pilots there you go I think we're looking at you Tom okay terminal landscaping and fencing let me ask you a question yes because with the program at ASU and the pilot training program going on would there not be a reason to believe

[0:12:17] that there could be something created to go on Channel 17 about that program or anything [Music] it's not just a matter into so he'll help us it's not just a matter of creating a program that can be displayed on Channel 17 but it has to be something related to enabling us to have programming on channel 17. so just the fact that we have a video would not be enough to use that funding but how creative can you get well we already do have a video uh we did a video story on it last year they won several Awards we run it all the time on the channel but it would have to be like for instance this room we'd have to have meetings in there that we record and air on the channel so it always has to have a direct impact on the TV channel so we wouldn't be able to spend it for a conference room upgrade type thing unless we were recording meetings in there on a regular basis that would always be on Channel 17. so an airport Advisory board meeting and we could look at it you know one of the things we also need to think about is um that that fund has we used to get more money I think we are starting to see an impact of cord cutting and so while we do have some money in there now I think you know we definitely need to be careful about spending it because at some point it could go away and so um because fewer usage of no pure use food right yes so you know we used to get about 250 000 a year and that I think I didn't bring that paperwork today but I think 2021 it was 150 or 170 the next year was around 200 and I think right now we're at 131 this year so we're definitely seeing a decrease in those funds and so while we do have projects that we're doing in here you know if we were I'd ever move our office that would be very pricey and that would that would be what that fund would be used for as well and so all that'll

[0:14:20] start to add up and then before you know it we won't have any money in there to to spend on things I think outside the box oh I know I know um and so yes if we were to have an airport advisor meeting out there Jeremy how often do y'all meet do you meet four times a year a couple times a year yeah quarterly and I have a good source of funding for that um outside of our funding federal grants could pay for that good terminal landscape and fencing if you've been out to the Chinese restaurant lately you've noticed that the trees have been cut down the FAA mandated we get rid of those because of the wildlife issues the the grackles were perching up in there they were building nests up in the jet Bridges and they've found some of the birds out on the runway so FAS they get rid of the trees so it's kind of an eyesore if you're sitting in the cafe looking out the windows you see those old stumps and just the land underneath those old trees so we were looking at doing some type of landscaping improvements there and then on the other side where the air traffic control tower sits we've got an old fence with some slats in it TSA wrote us up for it because it doesn't meet today's standards for security so I need to put a fence up there um this we're looking I think we're looking at using some of the TxDOT ramp grant funding to get this project done uh terminal parking lot reconstruction so this is in my opinion our biggest black guy out there this parking lot is old it's very challenging everybody sees it as they come to the airport but it's it's just it's falling apart rapidly with my crew most of the time they're out on the runway is keeping that side of the fence safe and looking good and so the parking lot gets neglected from time to time so I would like to get those parking lots done the master plan suggested charged parking um I know I've brought that up to you we're looking at five dollars per vehicle per day which would bring an additional 230 000 of unrestricted Revenue to to my budget but we would

[0:16:24] like to get the parking lots reconstructed before we can do charge for parking the problem with this project is there's no source of funding the Federal Aviation Administration nor TxDOT will touch it if we're going to charge for parking then we would need but if you charge for parking you're limited to what you can apply for in terms of Grants correct yeah if you're if you're going to generate Revenue you can't use grant money to to build that facility you have enough short-term parking because it always seems like to me short-term parking is solid yes yeah short-term parking fills up fast with the project we're doing with Skyline right now to get the rental cars moved over to the other parking lot that will open all those stalls up there's over 60 I think there's 66 stalls there that would be available in short-term parking when does that project going to begin um there's supposed to kick off here in the next two or three months we just recently got there some of their design concept plans and I think they're close to pulling a permit on them how's the rental car situation out there because I hear lots of complaints about that so do I um it's it's bad still but it's getting better we're in negotiations with another company to come out hopefully bring that to city council here shortly to use those other counters that Hertz was using um Davis just has a hard time staying on top of the vehicles because they're such a high demand with the base lots of the families will fly in for graduation but they don't fly out so they pick up the vehicles they take them out of San Angelo so there's no vehicles left here in San Angelo so they got a truck Vehicles back in and it has been a challenge for sure last item on my list Tower reconstruction can I ask one other question so I know in a lot of cities like you know where we have Hotel row out there in a lot of cities there is a bus that stops by each of those hotels picks up

[0:18:28] people at the airport and then delivers them to the circle of hotels do we have that available in San Angelo because that's the other thing I hear about just getting from the airport to a hotel because sometimes the Uber fees and the Lyft fees are so high people are like you know whatever so does that service exist um the service exists other than Uber through Red Bull shuttle red Ball's been able to keep up they got a bunch more Vans and they've been running passengers to the terminal or excuse me to the hotels they do it at charge we have talked to the hotels about running shuttles out to the airport and they just don't have enough demand to to justify doing it but there there is red ball shuttle that's a more affordable option to get from the airport to the uh San Angelo um Tower reconstruction so this one the air traffic control tower as you know is old there's some big push in Congress right now to replace the old contract Towers there's funding out there available now to the tune of 20 million per year Nationwide so as you can see we're requesting 12.5 million of that 20 Nationwide we're number 23 on the list good so it's going to be it's going to be a while before we get it but we still we we push the need every year this is a hundred percent funded by the FAA there is no match money required we just have to compete higher than some of the other busier airports to get it there's some language in Congress right now to increase that up to I want to say I think it's 50 million per year or higher for the contract towers and so they do recognize there's an issue with the old towers and and trying to get them replaced so you will see this you will continue to see this until we we get the announcement from Congress that we get a new air traffic control tower with that do I have any questions or to prioritize what would be your number one on this list

[0:20:33] um I mean number one for me is obviously the parking lots um because like I said that is our biggest black guy um the other stuff is we've already got a really good program with the Federal grant program and the passenger facility charges I think that's just going to run its course but what I need help with as far as priority goes and funding would be the parking lots I think it was 3.7 or 3.5 hey 3.4 yes sir please Tom so Jeremy as you look at these things what things make you money uh parking lots make us money uh Runway reconstruction that stuff makes us money through fuel Flowage I mean that's our Lifeline if we don't have a Runway we don't have an airport um but I mean parking lots is going to be the biggest in in any airport you go to that is the most Revenue generating asset they have for their parking lots it's unrestricted the FAA can't tell me where I spend those those funds that I receive so we can use those for terminal improvements hanger development you know future Big Time infrastructure needs well as we sit there and we go through this whole list of CIP you know you wish you had a set of scissors to cut off what's realistic and what's not but as we look at the future in the next 20 years the things that are going to make it for us are going to be Revenue driven all right and that's one of the things I you know as you look at what you have what can we charge for what will people I know I would pay as a business traveler I would pay a fee per year just to have a pass to park in short-term parking and not because there's times where I'm only gone three days and I'm parked and I think a lot of the time there's ample parking out there but you know you could sell parking pad I don't

[0:22:36] know if you could generate 10 grand 20 grand whatever it is every nickel is going to help but as you move forward I think the hangers down there on the south end I see no reason we can't at least go ahead and start trying to Ink those things in there to start the construction and work around the development of the taxiways yeah so I'm I'm with you just full charge ahead but yeah I would love for you to prioritize those things that generate Revenue well the business traveler can write it off as an expense so it goes right on expense report yeah so that gets covered it was just you know and I'd say maybe if that's 40 of the people that use it it would just be a simple fee and it's not going to affect that it would not affect me any I would expense it have that kind of parking and if you had you know 4 000 people a year that might look at something like that it's it's Revenue comment Jeremy uh no no I agree and what we're looking at doing is not if we did the project we wouldn't have short-term long term it would all be one lot and then you pay based off the amount of time that you're at the airport you have I don't remember it do you have a cost of what these what was the total was the parking lot number on here inclusive of short-term and long-term yes so it's inclusive of both that's the full project this a number I got from my airport Engineers with Aviation that does include the arms the paid parking everything but not putting in for example parking meters yeah that would include everything yeah okay other questions for Jeremy or comments while he's here and available how's our flight capacity what percentage are we staying relatively full what's that number what are we looking in terms of in plane and deplaning I mean we're slightly higher we're just over 60 000 the load factors are down around the 60 to 70 percent so the airlines are still

[0:24:40] profitable but I'll remind you they're bringing in the 175 aircraft with more seats more seating capacity so total number of passengers up total number of passengers is up slightly two percent increase over total Employments but the pilot shortage is a real issue still in today's market you probably read the news and you see that a lot of airports are losing air service and losing frequency so we're down to three flights I think with the 60 to 70 percent we'll keep the three flights unless they pull that RJ that comes in late at night and bring in the larger aircraft good news bad news sure no other questions or comments for Jeremy all right so are we the contract signed for with ASU with our partners um from Principal LED Jared white so that contract is a contract now a contract is a contract yep and they're paying the lease revenue and and we're seeing some progress over there okay yep thank you thank you all right next one is the animal shelter good morning good morning welcome Morgan what's before you today is the animal shelter improvements as they've been discussed at a number of recent Council meetings so the Capital Improvements uh just last meeting you all approved the engineering contract so we're getting the purchase order for that item and we'll be able to move forward uh this 1.6 million dollars is fully funded largely in part largely by the short-term debt issue

[0:26:43] all right so um let's just talk about uh we're excited about this it should make a big difference out there how are we in terms of seeing our bility to manage the intake is it continually 100 percent 110 percent are you yes so um we when we set the finite capacity for animals in our shelter canines and felines we subsequently adopted a policy where we shifted to a community supported Sheltering model in which case the animal shelter is a resource center for San angeloans but not necessarily an intake 70 percent of dogs are found within a mile of their home so we want to match folks that are finders Good Samaritans with some resources we send them home with a it's an optional program we send them home with a crate a bag of dog food puppy pads and a yard sign that says hey are you missing a dog I found a and we fill in the blank black chihuahua whatever it is and so we follow up with those Good Samaritans days later and the vast majority of the time better than 80 percent of the time they are reuniting with the owner in the field then we you know of course offered the owner opportunities like microchip all the things to to result in a faster return to owner next time so those kind of programs and more that we're rolling out help us stay within our finite capacity so at times that we do close the shelter for intake because we're approaching capacity we still have a number of resources we can offer finders we of course still dispatch an animal services officer anytime there's a call for a dog at large we want to scan that dog from microchip look at lost and found sites get that pet back home like I said even if it's not a shelter intake to be housed at my

[0:28:48] facility so so those programs and those outreaches absolutely manage our intake so that we can stay within those finite capacities on times we're getting very close to the 180 maximum capacity of canines we do subsequently share a list with the public and say you know any dogs with Advanced Medical temperament and behavior have been euthanized we've exhausted all resources for those animals and we're still approaching capacity with nothing but nice dogs will you help and each time three times now we've had to share such a list and each time we've shared 100 of those dogs uh where they've either been pulled into foster adoption or rescue transfer 23 dogs to date have been listed and subsequently saved as part of that program we're being very hardcore on the spayed and neuter program right because I think we got received a lot of criticism that we were not being hardcore enough or following the process yes so hundreds of additional filings through the Municipal Court this year on failure to spay neuter I don't think it contributes to the conversation earlier about additional filings because that is just a one-off a true up for this year as we work through that backlog and then moving forward we do have the Opera a new tool that came out of these discussions was our rescue partner offers a very low-cost voucher that we can offer at the front counter to somebody redeeming their pet so right there in that moment you're picking up your pet and we say contro Valley pause would like to offer you a voucher at this very low rate uh would you like that and they say no thank you I would like to keep an unaltered pet and we say okay well then you are subject to citations and unless they can prove an exemption they do receive a citation then and there so to prevent a first how often does that happen was offered to each and every interaction I would say half I would say half people participate half of the people uh don't buy a voucher and either prove an exemption or receive a citation um Morgan when you're talking about

[0:30:55] Foster how long do they Foster a dog for or cat so our our finder our Good Sam program is is a very short-term program it's a matter of days that you're holding on to this animal until we have shelter capacity to go ahead and approve for that dog to come in when we are um open for intake you're good my good sams are the first ones we call um hey how's it going are you ready for an intake some good sams say you know it's actually going well thanks for all these resources we hold on to the dog for a little bit of time in which case we transition them from like finder to Foster and get them connected with our Concho Valley Paws so they can get even more resources to continue to care for that animal and we're talking a lot about dogs today because that's where I'm always hitting on capacity but we're using it a lot for neonatal kittens as well people find a litter of kittens and we're like the best thing for this kitten is to not be here let me get you some resources and take them home so for those that are going to be there for more than I don't know 10 days they would transition to a proper Foster application with contra Valley Paws through our contract I wanted to make a statement I had uh I read on on next door and it was a lady that was very upset with the animal shelter yet she says because I just had my my cat just had a litter of kittens and I'm just gonna have to leave him here because I can't take him with me and I'm just thinking to myself why didn't you do something to alter that a female cat to keep from having you know neater Spades whatever we call it but I just don't understand why they're complaining about the animal shelter when it's their responsibility to keep that cat from having so many kittens and then them just saying I can't take care of them I'm just going to leave them here and it can pretty quickly become an insurmountable issue you know you have you have a good heart you take in a random cat um you care for it um you uh don't connect with space Services quickly enough she becomes pregnant so we do want to make sure people are aware of

[0:32:58] low-cost options to get their Cuts paid um we um right now all our community cats are being pulled by Contra Valley Paws to be spay neutered so that they're all going back altered and vaccinated so there's lots of resources out there for folks if they have Community cats if they're aware of a colony we've worked with a number of y'all that are aware of colonies that are unmanaged meaning they're not compliant with the spay neuter component of a colony caregiving and so we connect with those folks we build a relationship we get all their adults spay neutered and their kittens in for adoption and rehab and it's it's a really good program but we are asking folks to you know step up and be responsible before it's a problem any other questions or comments for Morgan yes ma'am yes go ahead Larry with the improvements uh you've probably been through this once before I just you need to recall what's your improvement in terms of intake of animals to the shelter based on this facility Improvement that's on your CIP for this agenda item is touching almost every system we have it's touching our HVAC our roof our plumbing our it's not touching electrical or Foundation but really every other system that we have including our big room General kennels will be completely reworked in this Capital planning the the intake and the community supported Sheltering will be in different Outreach programs quite frankly the way we've grown our Good Sam program and done so much more for people who find a pet has come from US housing less pets right so ordinarily by end of May I have approaching 200 cats on the premises I have I think 65 today so instead of paying for that medical for neonatal kittens it's quite expensive to run that program we're able to buy milk to send home with people or be able to buy kitten food to send home with people that is cheaper than what our budget was spending money on so we're going to not to create a larger

[0:35:03] facility because we're not in the animal shelter business we're making a rescue business you make us a resource center I want people walking in the door and I want to send you home with resources and and they're they're helpers and their people in this community that want to do that work and um you know nobody spends 30 minutes chasing a dog getting it in their vehicle driving six miles across town to walk in the door and say you clearly don't care what happens to this animal they they want to help they want to do the right thing and by explaining look we've got so many virtual resources for reuniting with pets through social media Facebook groups and online resources and 70 of dogs are found within their own home or in the home neighborhood please take this pet back um the vast majority of folks say oh of course yeah that's the right thing to do thanks for that feedback and are happy to participate um so the there's there's the facility component to make our building what it needs to be just to be operational but then there's a programming component which we've rolled out a lot of since November and we'll continue to do so through the summer for community supported Sheltering because we've already reached capacity many times is what we're talking about but there's never been a day where over 180. um so we're being transparent with our rescue partner our um Community to say I cannot ever be at 180. if I'm at 180 and I have to euthanize a healthy friendly dog I I need I need y'all's feedback that that's what what you want right um that that everyone knows that that's what I'm doing because that is that is not the intention behind life-saving programming um and these we've assessed these animals through a very thorough process and um if so the capacity is is real and it's what we live by and we approach it regularly but never once have it have have exceeded 180 dogs on the premises I know that most of the complaints of people who've gone out there are the things you're addressing and that is the

[0:37:05] HVAC the plumbing the smell the drainage the ventilation and it's a 25 year old building and our community has grown so much since then our animal population has grown so much through since then and everything about how the animal services does businesses has has changed since then so talk to us about the time frame we're on now so you've got the money we've appropriated the money the contract's done it's out there and when does it start and when do we anticipate completion the engineers need 60 days um with the contract then we'll be able to let bids for the construction crew to come in and that should be a four to six month process so we're estimating to be complete January 2024. 24. right and there's a number of unknowns that can happen between them and there but that is that is our best estimate we just got to know what the anticipation is and of course any any delays or any changes or or through this whole process we'll have a robust Communications practice right yeah we're not holding you to it we just need to know anticipated there's many of those things totally out of your control and we get that we're just excited that there's a plan and that we are going to get we're going to execute that plan and I think I'll have a dramatic change in people's perception of the animal shelter so yes Lucy Morgan are we having problems with the feral cats um well um you you may we have pockets of town we've invested heavily in the spay neuter of community cats I mean thousands of cats a year um since uh 2018. thousands of cats of year that we are spay neutering and putting back that is

[0:39:08] the best practice to overall reduce the cat population in this community and we are seeing that you know Decades of catch and kill did not work when when we when we started spay neutering cats we were taking in probably 4 000 cats a year and we're down to about 1400 cats taken in last year and that's a a cross reference of the community right they give my cat intake is down that should mean there's less cats in the community um it's a rare day that someone catches a cat that's already spay neutered once you catch a cat and spay neuter it it clocks that Trappist something it's not going back into so those cats are going back to their home neighborhoods they're preventing new cats from coming in they're creating scarcity so that smaller litters are being born and we overall are seeing a decrease in our cat population now we know that there are colonies that are still unmanaged meaning that they are not spay neutered uh they are not vaccinated um so we're making contact with those Colony caretakers um to uh to bring them in compliance um they see us in a white truck with a city seal on it and they're like no we don't remember the Decades of catch and kill we don't want you picking up our cats to which we say great it is your responsibility to spay neuter these pets we want you to to do that but if not uh if if you're willing to participate we'll catch your cats we'll spay neuter them a contra belly possible spay neuter them and we'll put them back will you let us do that work and we've done that again and again and again over over two dozen colonies that we've brought completely into compliance every cat spay neutered all the kittens are taken in and tamed and put up for adoption so do we have a problem with Community cats no much it's much less of a problem than it used to be um but we're happy to to know those specific addresses and areas to make contact to match them with resources and I would say much better than any other West Texas City ordering Michael what was your comment we're asking the question so we

[0:41:10] appreciate the information so thank you thank you and it's good because the public watches this and I think it's important that they hear your response to it so thank you anybody else okay thank you thank you all right we're now on Civic events okay his first one's Coliseum so the Coliseum improvements have has two parts one if we keep the Coliseum what we need to do to do some Renovations renovate the concessions improve the restrooms improve the parking lot improve the sound system just Bare Bones things as you know we've heard yes what do you mean if if we keep the Coliseum is it not ours that's the second part yeah you're correct we'll always keep the call soon it's ours the second part is if um we work with the stock show radio Association to fully renovate that facility and we met with them earlier this week to talk about that project and we'll likely bring an item to council into June early July to talk about that possibility as you know they took an item to the county to see if the county could partner to help fund that those improvements and uh I don't think they we were able to make traction that way so they may be coming let's be clear it wasn't the county financing it was the county applying for the dsep grant and the d-sip grant is a federal defense Community Grant and that request is a combination of goodfell Air Force Base working with multiple counties around San Angelo and turning the Coliseum into a Emergency Management Regional facility the d-cip grant is for a maximum of 20 million dollars

[0:43:15] and with that you have to find matching funds of 10 percent of the total cost of the renovation so let's say the Coliseum is a 38 million dollar project the city between the funds the Stock Show and Rodeo thinks they can raise plus if we get the 20 million dollars and that means Counties have to sign up to support that which we believe they're going to then the city would have to find over a period of time an extra 10 million dollars to complete that 38 million dollar renovation it still keeps the Coliseum as a city property the county is only applying for it the city has applied for the dcip grants the past two years so the county is using their ability because it is a Emergency Management facility when we've had things like the flds we housed people there there could be a national disaster of some sort a multi-county tornado for example that we would need to use the facility for housing people Etc that's what that is so I anticipate they we will come to city council at the end of June early July to talk about that possibility and that Grant is due the end of June maybe June 23rd or somewhere so that's the middle of that is the end of June I'm not sure when the announcement of those funds will be made but I think it's September October right so that would be the time frame on that so that's the process those are the statistics that go with it Tom you want to add here you want to add to that there's several different options we started with with one and we gave feedback back to the association it's it's hard to do this the time frame to get it on the ballots for a bond issue but I think the most important thing is we look at all avenues

[0:45:18] gather money to decrease the burden on everyone so I think the direction is we turn everybody loose to pursue what other avenues there are to make money you know what I do like about this is we had this discussion yesterday um it's one thing that helps like I'm asking Jeremy a while ago things that increase the revenue that come into San Angelo okay and it's it's heads and beds it's plain Trains and Automobiles and somewhere for them to go but let's not I see what you're saying here but I think my direction everybody is let's just not put ourselves in a box of ways we can go make money let's do that that's one of those seasonal patterns the mayor referred to earlier when we were talking about Revenue there's clearly a bump in that season [Music] mayor yes I just wanted to clarify something real quick um the decip grant requires a match of 30 percent for cities over a hundred thousand in population we're good because we're 99 887 or something right so we're under that hundred thousand so what is the requirement for cities under a hundred thousand there is no match for cities under a hundred thousand we're a hundred thousand good point anyway that I think the number was they thought we would have to come up with 10 million dollars based off of what they thought they could raise for other funds Etc so whether that number is larger than 10 million but is filled in why these other resources like private commitments Etc but we know that that overall project is a 38 million dollar project we think it's an important project we think the city would benefit in a major way with those Coliseum improvements and we know that that those the Coliseum needs those improvements I mean if there's no question that the Coliseum is dated it has um a need for those improvements and we

[0:47:20] would hope that our grant would be the Catalyst for getting this done go ahead Harry the number I heard for economic impact once this improvements are done is 78 million dollars a year 78 million dollars a year that's short-term payback on any monies that we have to invest I agree with Tom let's not put ourselves in a box let's figure out where this this funding can be done and how we can get it done and pursue it what's the current value if it's 78 million is the potential where are we right now I would say they were expanding about twice so we're probably about 38 to 40 38 to 40 million dollars right right at the moment bottom line is is you still got an economic impact of uh 35 to 40 million dollars increase per year and maybe not per year but over short periods Harold and you helped me here Harry I think back when Harold Dominguez ran a projection back then the economic impact for San Angelo was around 30 million at that time right but it's stock show rodeo in the grounds so we're looking at something that takes period over year and I do think the chamber with their new computer program ran a projection for the association and it approached currently 70 million so it was great it's great and let's ways to increase Revenue yeah great okay keep going for Carl is the river stage [Music] whatever stage you've recent the council has recently seen presentations on that we're talking about doing improvements in two phases the first phase addressing accessibility improvements uh first phase being about a million dollars in the second phase following the next year is about three million dollars which include new restrooms shade covering perhaps different

[0:49:23] entrance and other improvements like that and we have some funding sources the hotel accuracy tax [Music] um so on the million dollars that we approved have we started the work on it what's the time frame on that what where are we yes we're looking at this next fall winter for the first phase of the improvements so they won't be done because I someone said that you thought it was going to be available the end of July but there's no way that the irrigation the grass or any of that stuff will be done by this summer no we're looking at next fall next winner for the first phase mayor I just want to clarify something that Carl said hotel tax cannot be used for overstage improvements but we are using Civic events fund balance trying to use the hotel tax where we can okay do you want to do the rest of Carl's while he's up here or do you yeah that'd be fine that's a good question yo please Larry go ahead uh I didn't hear it in there but I just want to make sure Ada improvements were going to be included in this yes sir that's in the first phase it's called yes anytime you touch a building you're required to it's not an option parks next Parks just right quick on Brown neighborhood park improvements a lot of that work has already been done the last thing we have to do is installation of the playground we have the playground on hand and we should be getting that project here in the next few weeks it was to follow um construction of the Pavilion at the dog park which is complete except for the connecting walkways next one Buffalo Soldiers and moral as you know that one's ongoing

[0:51:27] we intend to complete that project and we're working with the area foundation on this one in June have do have some rain delays which is nice to have Mrs Spears has set an event for the end of July for the grand opening so I'm sure it will definitely be done by then well weeks before that Kids Kingdom Playground replacement I'm gonna go on the brown neighborhood park you talked about a dog park we approved that dog park I thought I heard you say that when I mentioned Brown Park we were waiting to install the playground after we finished construction of the Pavilion at the dog park oh so the pavilion's been constructed I was gonna say that didn't sound right to me yeah thought that was it's Kingdom Playground replacement it's a few years out we do need to replace it within a few years we're working with the area foundation on some strategies there they're willing to help as they've done with other projects but they want some of these smaller projects to get off their plate before they help with that project restrooms the Buffalo Soldier have they raised the total amount for that is it totally funded yes but they do want to raise some additional funds to finish out the Landscaping on the additional property that fronts Avenue Oaks uh Oak Street they have enough money to do landscaping but they want some additional funding to put benches and other amenities so the Project's fully funded but they want to embrace some additional funds for some enhancements the restrooms for Martin Luther King Jr Memorial Park that's fully funded as you've heard at this point they're waiting on the final permits to proceed with the project which should begin in the next few weeks and um the restroom's been ordered

[0:53:30] so yes it should be here in June to begin that project we'll have to work around the the the event in June restrooms at Meadow Creek Park wait a minute I had a question over here any question on MLK um it's fully funded and the permits went through or there was problems with the permits correct and now they're being looked at again what's the problem with the permits I'm just curious [Music] the responses for you one of the issues with the layout of the the restroom itself from the manufacturer and I believe that's been corrected the other was with the the lift station and the sewer line where it had to tap into a manhole which I think has been corrected as well Aaron can you answer that question the question good morning Aaron Benoit uh assistant director Planning Development Services yes as Carl mentioned the restroom structure is a prefab structure and so in the state of Texas it has to have a specific stamp on it showing that it was constructed correctly or the contractor has to take pieces off and we don't want that so the contractor is working on getting that documentation for that as well as we just got the plat back for plotting the property and that's going to be filed probably on Tuesday at the county and so probably as Carl said within the next week or two they should have their permit and start moving forward well at the county since it's on city property the the filing for Platts goes to the county we do we do it at Planning Commission but then they actually file it there for the county records that property had never been planted so we had to go through that process um Carl so when did you say it would be completed it's going to be about three months after it begins so it'll be later this summer early fall thank you okay go ahead to Meadow Creek

[0:55:35] Middle Creek restrooms they're they're as you recall we brought that out into Council for a resolution to support the fundraising efforts they're doing fundraising but um haven't made significant process uh progress at this time Riverbank stabilization as you know we do have some funds for that and we do have a grant tied to the first portion of that work starting from Johnson Street to Concho Avenue we will be bringing an item to city council um if not the next meeting the second meeting in June we're working on a grant a large grant for about an eight and a half nine million dollars um which is a 50 match to do basically from Johnson Dam Oak Street Bank stabilization and Trailway work all the way down to where Concho Avenue crosses the river by the the nursing home as well as some reforestation of the parks farther down to Bell Street this is uh U.S forest Service Grant like I said 50 percent and it's the Project's about eight and a half million dollars we'll bring an item to council to talk about this and uh hopefully ratify that Grant application question mark is that been a side issue where are we on Bank stabilization because I don't want us to get to the point where they're collapsing and the sidewalks are going down or whatever we need to make sure that the bank stabilization program is addressing as we need and not after it's a disaster so do we have areas on the Concho River right now that need to be stabilized that we're not addressing well the Public Works has addressed all the hot spots that we had that needed immediate attention and we're keeping an eye on chain in the other areas that may need immediate attention um but we're trying to line up the

[0:57:36] reason yes I didn't see a head knot or any kind yes we monitor the the banks regularly to make sure that we're not seeing any any new large things that are gonna especially as it gets close to our infrastructure roads sidewalks things like that we are monitoring that regularly yes ma'am so we're trying to line up the resources to do the rest of it comprehensively um and we're working with an engineer now we've met with them twice this month already last time last week to talk about that process and keep moving it forward Santa Rita neighborhood Park renovation that's the last funded project with half cent sales tax for Park improvements and so that one will fall um Brown Park and some of the smaller projects Parks is working on now where are we on the 29th Street project that one is designed the design is finished and we're working with the Cooperative purchasing by board to find a contractor to price that out and bring a bid to council probably the second meeting in June 1st in July to move that project forward stop speaking to the microphone yes go ahead Al contacted me on some of that so there's been discussion the past just in the past week on the best way to move that thing forward as fast as we can okay so you're on it and know what's going on working on that okay great thank you South Concho Park Trail renovation that one's towards the end of this cycle and it's gonna follow the twin Buttes uh Reservoir recreational Trails improvements project that's listed there as well but that is a trail that connects from the river trail Bell Street going all the way up South Concho to connect to Glenmore Park we have high potential to get a grant for that tpwd trail Grant which is a 80

[0:59:38] 20 match 80 on their part which is good but again we have to make product great significant progress on the twin Buttes Trails project which we're working on now what does that mean significant progress um basically get into construction where we're doing all the behind the scenes of work now we're ordering the signs the signs are we already have one batch of the signs in the second batch is being ordered and then we'll do the trail improvements either the summer next winter and complete that project in a little over a year so once that one's all pretty well it's on on its way we'll line up the next one which is the South Concho Trail and renovation improvements splash pads as you know we have a resolution on that one as well for All Techs to do fundraising they've made some progress probably not as much as they'd like to with their commitment and fundraising I think they're about at three hundred thousand dollars so that combinations over 800 so we're still looking to fund at least one yes funds aren't there yet for the first one oh there's your 29th Street sorry Tom you jump the gun and they show it like Nazareth that's adjacent to Pecan Creek Pavilion it's farther down the cycle um currently we don't have funding for this but we're looking for grant opportunities what is it compare to the other trails Concho I guess let me group this into okay let me group this into different parts so as you know Barracks three and four was getting they're getting constructed they should be finished this fall and then and they do

[1:01:42] need to complete some fundraising to do the Furnishings for both those buildings but the construction is has made significant progress when's it completed the building's construction should be done this fall but the Furnishing will fall after that we don't anticipate opening those buildings until next year you can't open them until you receive Furniture so they're not going to be usable until then until we furnish them if we could go back to the parks go ahead Larry white on the parks is there anything in your budget on what we've described as the infill parks for the areas that uh haven't in the past created a park I wonder if any of your budgeting includes the cost and everything involved with that well I think that though the answer to that is we're struggling right now if you see that list of even coming up with the funds to take care of the existing parks and if you look at the master Park plan that was done what three years ago yes so we have a long laundry list including those things where the funding falls short of even taking care of these issues as listed so the creating of new parks new park areas [Music] is probably way down on the list based off of funding is that correct that's correct we could look at strategies about how we could secure land out where the city is developing for future Park development and look at strategies of how we could start funding infill Park development but currently on the CIP there's not any projects like that because as we've

[1:03:46] discussed there are areas of the town as it's spread Southwest that don't have a whole lot of parks for one the Bluffs has no Park this flat doesn't have a park and if we don't think about those things we don't start funding it'll never get done we'll have an item as well in the future as far as Parkland dedication we started looking at Green Space and and those type of items that's something that will be coming before the city council as well it doesn't necessarily you're not necessarily talking about this the playgrounds and everything else you're also talking about an inclusion of Green Space where people could go and gotcha because uh definitely will be that'll be an item that we'll be addressing here in the future city council well I'm going to reread this just because I think it's worth saying and I'm not saying it's today the city's current level of Parkland is so significant that some parks are considered under utilized this is due in part to the fact that some are misplaced and inaccessible yet others are mismatched to the populace it is serving in an effort to promote and preserve this community commodity Park landing key locations may need to be repurposed I think that's what you're referring to it is and just as the community park should link to neighborhood parks parks and trails should tie into other Regional facilities including Riverfront Trails Regional Parks Recreation facilities and larger Trail systems experience has proven that it is critical to link existing and proposed Park systems with an extensive and accessible trail system that accentuates the natural characteristics in order to have it be of the most value for the community to Larry's Point I've been working with

[1:05:50] Carl um just looking at district one district one now that Glenmore Park has moved to Harry's District district one does not have a neighborhood park now to be fair meta Creek Park is just on the other side of the dividing line between District Six and District district one so for my house meta Creek Park is a neighborhood park but there are Bentwood um has no Park we have parks at the lake but those activities are primarily Lake activity focused Parks so I say all that to say maybe we need to have the study updated or re-evaluated from 2009. well we did Carl when was the last Park study done three years ago yes 2020. yeah so we have a new park plan an art Park master plan that was done and the Bentwood thing I think in one way it's correct on the other hand a lot of people choose to be at the Bentwood area because they have the swimming pools the golf course the tennis courts the full facilities that the city could never put into a park and so they have facilities for kids for adults for a broad base of community of which many Community people who don't even live around bent would use the Bentwood facilities for a fee and so there is there is and there isn't and I say that because to the membership yeah yeah to the membership yeah it it is usable you know we're that we had city has some land at which we are looking uh Carl has and others have have looked at a neighborhood park in a given area who knows it's it you know who knows if it'll ever happen but anyway it's it's something we're looking at but you know I would tend to disagree with the fact that we have this multiplicity of parks um just reading uh yeah I'm just reading

[1:07:54] for a study we paid yeah yeah yeah I would say we need to update the study keep going and you know I also just want to remind everybody of all the things that have just been presented of which funding is needed what's your total number on Parks so far and these things that we just have gone over um well I have but 5.1 million that we need to take care of the items that you've listed here Ford it's actually and hopefully we'll get grants to to fund some of that so it's not a clean number of course but I also know on some of the other existing parks that we have we build them and then we struggle to keep them up to par constantly looking for money so we we need to look at the park we need to bring back and discuss the master plan that we just did on our parks because we pay for those things we put them on a shelf and then we forget to go back and review them so when we're doing this let's make sure we have a park plan in front of us and maybe a special meeting on Parks because we we have this document we have one we did in 2020. let's put this stuff together I mean we pay for these we're supposedly paying experts to pull this stuff together and we have used the master plan recently for Grant applications showing what the public has said that they prefer the most walking trails splash pads we do use that information because unless you have a current master plan for your Parks you can't apply for Grants is that correct correct so on the fort projects a lot of the officers quarters those will be towards the end of the this cycle of the CIP we're focusing efforts on Barracks three

[1:09:58] and four and also the visitor center which is Barracks one and two uh as you know almost all the fort buildings got re-roofed the last few years thanks to council we've had funding to do a lot of the the woodwork window frames fascia board column work made a lot of progress there um but the interior some of the officers quarter buildings do new renovation but as I said those will uh wait after some of these bigger projects for The Visitor Center which is um Barracks one and two we do have plans for those improvements and the fundraising for those we do have some money left from House of sales tax for that but we need more we're going to start fundraising for that after barracks and three and four are completed what else is on there I think that's that's it for the fort so going back to your original list that you were looking at I think engineering would be up next okay yeah I'm using the one you sent us so whatever however it goes yeah this is a big one this mayor is mostly the streets related projects that we have I'll lift around town of course the community accessibility and connectivity project is a grant we have out right now through the a program text Dot uh we're looking for this grant which would basically extend a walkable Pathways from on chadburn all the way from Avenue L all the way up to 29th Street again helping connect uh the rest of downtown and working through that project as well tell downtown on chadburn as well uh 29th uh going down 29th to Edmond uh back around Glenna to Arden Road Arden

[1:12:03] Road down to Avenue n Avenue N back to Johnson Street Johnson Street connecting from Sherwood Way all the way down to Knickerbocker so a very a large project that would create a lot of connectivity around town as well too also some smaller offshoots Beauregard bringing chadburn basically would be looking bringing it from the hospital District all the way back to coingham down Beauregard as well and a couple other smaller offshoots from that as well too I do in this large project when do we this grant I think is what'd you say 20 million dollar Grant or something like that 20 almost 21. do we have a time frame on when they I know we've applied so is there a month that there's October so we shouldn't we should know in October whether we received the grant or not now that with this grant we are competing against the large metropolitan areas we are competing against the dallases and the Austin's and the Houstons for for this grant but uh we believe is extensive this is a very well-rounded project we're connecting a lot of communities together we're connecting our existing Trail systems together uh we're connecting Hospital districts and and and shopping districts and and so I mean we were in again bringing communities back together so uh we believe that this will compete very well even even with these larger metropolitan areas we believe this will be a very competitive Grant uh let's see next uh construction Rick's Drive sidewalk again we do um have uh this is also a grant as well uh in the set of stock grant program that we've applied for as well again tying from the park in the school uh all the way down from going from there all the way back up um to Gordon Drive and then we'd connect back over to the church uh area there and and the Dollar General over there as well too so I believe that's and that's on in that and that's in a different

[1:14:04] category Grant so and but we believe that's very competitive Grant as well too and when are we supposed to hear from that that'll be October October as well too so uh we've got that as well um okay uh uh drainage on River Valley Lane this again to uh this has been on there for a while but addressing addressing drainage issues uh in in that um in that neighborhood area right there we have worked a little bit on that uh with the Foster Road project uh trying to redirect and help some of the water that was coming off of the Bentwood area into into this area to help redirect some of that we've done some work on that but again there is some more work on River Valley Lane itself that needs to be done to to address and clean that up um we have Lakeview Heroes drive and 208 water line extension uh this is basically to increase capacity and then also bring the water across across the road across 208 to bring a water main service over there so we can tie in for a loop system there um Milling overlay Crystal Road Paint Rock Road to chadburn uh we we have designed we have a design on this project which is a little more inclusive of just Mill and overlay uh this also the reason this number is so large is because we have gone back in there with the design of this looking hopefully to apply for a D ship Grant to cover a portion of this as well too but it also includes some drainage improvements in that area need especially as we start looking from that Old Midway from there back to chadburn um on that on that side some cleaning up some significant drainage issues in that area which is one of the projects we applied for for the decip ground we have yes we have and also sidewalks and and connectivity as well too are a part of that as well a part of this project so that's why that that's why that price tag is up there because we are addressing a lot in the design but this project is designed again not funded again we're waiting hopefully to be able

[1:16:08] to apply for a dsip grant to cover the majority of those costs million overlay East Harris from Avenue and Abe that is that is on our year 10 of our rehab list I I will say right now that some of these projects that are pushing out to year 10 were going to have a struggle to fund those at this point just due to the inflationary costs that we've seen in our in our construction costs so there's some of these year 10 projects that well we have them scheduled for year 10 as part of the bond projects right now it's looking like there's going to be quite a few of those that are going to have to be pushed and we're going to have to look at other other means whether that's extending the bond program or whatever that looks like as we move in where are we on that Bond program okay so it was an 80 million dollar Bond program we've spent how much of it so far we are I can't as far as what we've encumbered I'm not sure but we've done four of the debt issues we've got one more in 2024 early and it's probably in the spring of next year if they're ready to use it by then then we would look at issuing the final yeah we and we do have three of the major projects the next one on there you can see the 18.3 million for the the Glenna Edmond 29th Street project as you look at that that is one of the ones that's going to be hitting at the end of this Bond cycle and moving into the next Bond cycle uh of course the 18 million would be include included in that 80 million yes yes yes now now in some in some of these that portions of these also include the utilities underneath this this is not all coming out of the 80 million dollar Bond there's there's a about out of this about 9.1 is coming out of the bond issue the rest of that is utility whether that's sewer or water utility so as we move through that again the same thing with Howard Street this project is actually getting ready to be started we've actually bit it out we've had pre-con meetings and we're starting to

[1:18:11] starting work on those and we'll go through some of this as we get into our presentation here in a little bit so [Music] um Johnson and Sherwood Wade and Knickerbocker again that's the year 10 project Mill in overlay Chadron throw six to 43rd that's the north Tavern project we have this design ready to go out we are working with one of the things that's been holding this project up is working with TX dot rail to try to acquire right-of-way at the at the heart S turn right there again we have everything to text Dot they're working through their process they'll have to take it all the way to the commission at some point to we're still we're still negotiating I thought we'd finished all of that though we're I think everybody's on board we're just working through the red tape at this point I think Texas I think the tech stock Rail and everybody's on board I think we're just working through the red tape to to because they have to assess the value of it and then it would I have to accept that yes we're willing to pay that for this or they're going to give it to us so they're still working out some of the details on their end but nobody sees an issue with it it's just I I hate to let a bid and before it's before everything's finalized but everything's ready to go we're ready we're ready to go on that project so again just finalizing that we may try to pull out the 7th Street to 43rd Street to go ahead and get that I wondered if you could go ahead yes we we may go ahead and start that portion of the project and get that bit out and just pull out the s-curve portion and bid that at another at another time or as we're looking at Phase B of the downtown Chadbourne project we may be able to put that so we're not having a very small Standalone project so we're looking at different options there so we can move this project along we have looked at uh we are looking at pricing working um trying to get some opinions probably

[1:20:14] cost to do the uh full depth accumulation process which we did right here in front of the Menace Convention Center on Rio Concho much faster process so hopefully we're looking at that process on this stretch of roadway so hopefully instead of instead of a year and a half to two year project we're looking at a six-month project so which would be a much faster you're totally pleased with the perform we're very pleased with performance we saw out here on on rail Concho so uh Millen overlay chairman Street River to Avenue L um that's that was a year 10 project and that one may get bumped um right now it's it's just hard to tell but that may get bumped Millen overlay Smith Boulevard from Pulliam Gordon a year 10 project that could get bumped um Millen overlay Southwest Boulevard uh phase and B that's pretty much mostly complete at this point we there the majority of the remainder of it is one we are going to have to go back and redo right there it Green Meadow at Green Meadow uh where we went in there and we we put the concrete work in when we did that you know we'd had all the problems with the between Green Meadow and the arroya we'd had all those problems well we got in there and we did such a good job putting that cement down and capping the capping the underground water that we're pushing the underground water back up the hill and so we're starting to see starting to see failures up north of that so we are look we are going to have to go back in there do a little bit of work in that area uh probably put in some type of French type drain to to get that water out of that to keep it from compromising the street but again almost complete there the arroya portion to clean up the area stop right there this is off track a minute but because we've had recent rains and they've been good how has the Avenue P drainage

[1:22:17] the retaining pond how has that worked it's it's working yes it's exactly what we wanted um again we we would love we'd love to have a little more capacity but it has it's these last rains it's it's worked very well we have we have taken tons and tons of water off of Avenue P that that because as intense as some of these storms have been these last three storms that we've had we would have been having some serious complaints without the storm drain there or the detention Pond there thing sorry to get you off track but we've only had rain we've not had a lot of rain since we put in that so we haven't had a really good test yes challenge it yeah so but again almost through it's just the Aurora portion uh right there from where we crossed the arroya down to the TxDOT right-of-way uh that that's the really the main part there we do have us we are putting in a a Crossing signal uh at uh down on uh Hilltop or um Walnut we are putting a a Crossing signal there for the kids at the school down down on the end so uh but that and that should be here um again material material material delays or what's causing that and everything now is anywhere from 20 to 26 weeks out so but yeah but we still hope to have them up before school starts so but we're working through that um let's see Mill and overlay Sunset Drive we are working that is actually in design at this point for a year 10 project oh Randolph water line replacement that's in design we're at about 90 percent go back up sorry okay on this Foster Road situation can we talk about that because it became a big conversation with Cox Lane and the drainage and all that was going on there does that incorporate some of the issues that were brought up to us at that point

[1:24:21] the sunset Cox lane Foster and then sunsets right there as well too and so all of this ties together uh from a drainage perspective a lot of the work that we did do on the um on the downstream side of foster down towards the bottom uh we did we did find that we did have a drainage easement in that area and we went in there and cleaned that drainage easement out uh reshaped it reformed it and we are moving water off tremendously faster I know councilman Hebert along with Patrick and uh they were sitting out in the rain yesterday watching it Patrick and I one of his guys were watching it it moves the water it moves the water we found we found out there was another problem spot problem spot that I don't think even our guys knew um coming down Foster and it may actually be in the text Dot right away I think they're going to have to check that out but right there coming off of uh the loop and if you depending on if you're headed um Direction North on Foster right there in front of the DPS office is a mess a mess um I didn't know if I was going to make it through there even in my truck um and there was car stalled out in there but when you get on got on down Foster by them opening that drainage easement up it was moving lots of water through there yesterday so that was uh much needed but it's very much appreciated um there were people out there filming it with me too I don't know if they lived around there or they just anyway it it it it did what it was good condition yeah sorry to back you up again but no problem now that is another issue when we're talking about Foster Road from Sunset back to the loop that we will have to

[1:26:22] look at and probably work with TxDOT uh you know because it's probably their drainage structures on TxDOT because that water does flow the other direction may have to try to work with them to find some alternative solutions to try to uh to try to speed that water up is it to move it on out of there a little faster um that's got to be news to some of the big concerns on Cox Road and Foster Road so that's a real positive that's great the Randolph water line replacement again we're at 90 percent uh completion on design there we hope to have that started by late summer early fall that project which will take it uh replace that old Cast Iron Man uh all the way from basically Washington all the way to U.S 67 277 basically what everybody calls or thinks of is the loop so replacing that main that entire way which is is needed we're this is one of our problem spots that um we we lose sleep on at night what's the time frame on that again we hope to have we hope it have it under construction uh early fall of this year so and get it moving so um reconstruction Avenue into Sherwood Way again another year 10 project we haven't started this one in design yet but we are looking at some alternative methods um for re rehabilitating Avenue in so um it's in really bad shape it is and but again is it is it one of those streets that you could use that process that you've done out here we're looking at that for portions of it we do have areas that we have completely lost um uh and that we probably will be looking at some Recons having to use full depth reconstruction on instead of full depth of reclamation on but again we we believe that we can hopefully cheapen up that that price tag there so um we're we're sure we're sure our

[1:28:24] numbers are astounding I must tell you yes they are um and and again our bids just came back off on on Howard Street and just anecdotally um uh we had priced based those prices off of the college Hills which you know we've only been in you know been in construction for a year and uh those prices the college Hills prices were already outdated so uh we're yeah it's it's a we're it's a problem it's a problem and it's a battle every day so but we're trying to work I know the rain is obviously we needed the rain we're thankful for the rain but I know it slowed the project up but so tell me where we're at currently on that project and what we should anticipate uh College Hill actually College Hills so far has moved along very well um uh we're we're on scheduler a little ahead of schedule actually on the utility portion of it so that's moved along well even with all of the rock that we have uh encountered on the project but again moving along well there they are up to the last phase getting to Sunset right now currently should be across be working our way across Sunset mid by hopefully by mid mid this next month mid-june and then finalizing the utility portion of this project of the college Hills project finalizing it mid to late July uh finalizing the utility so the utilities would be completely done at that point uh at that point we will be following right behind the utilities with the Box Culverts for the drainage we already have box cover it's already to Oak Forest and Oak Forest Court they're already to that point again following the utility construction hopefully that we will be finishing that up early fall and then that way the rest of it is just road work at that point so we sh we're still on schedule

[1:30:29] to try to have everything from basically Vista De La Roya all the way back to Avenue N um we're on track to have that done hopefully by August we were hoping Late July August we're about three weeks now behind because of the because of the weather and kind of looking into next week so it may be late August September before that's completed but again we are moving um moving along very well on that project so but hopefully but like I said by hopefully into August September everything from Vista Del Royal back to Avenue N will be fully complete and then we'll just be working on finishing up from Vista Dela Roya to the loop and you've met about a year out for total completion so we know that there's been constant conversation about the sunset Lake and the Park View Lake uh is there conversation today on the drainage of the sunset Lake slash yes it's it's further on down it's further on down okay in the list Foster Road uh again we we have this actually stretch and this is Foster Road South um heading into Butler Farm additions uh basically we'll go uh to River Valley Lane back to the loop this is in design right now there we don't have funding identified for this at this point but again it is in our Hazard mitigation plan so this would be a prime project if and that's why we have it in design so we can have have it Shelf ready we have it on the shelf and the plans are ready to go in case we can get some Hazard mitigation dollars from the federal government this is a prime project for that so we're hoping that we we will see some of those dollars roll around in the near future the reason we want it uh Chef ready is because we have uh most of

[1:32:33] the time on those Hazard mitigation grants there is like a 90-day turnaround on those when they announce them so very quickly annually it's it's based on when the when the federal governments have issued disaster declaration somewhere and then they this These funds are unused and so since they've already been issued out for disaster declaration they will go out to communities and let communities apply for Grants to use up those remaining dollars and so most of the time that's when we see those grants come out and that's why the turnaround time is so tight on those is because of that so but again that's why we want this one it is a prime prime target for one of those grants so reconstruction of South Jackson from Knickerbocker to the railroad tracks this is actually should be I think it's in bid right now it just came out in the paper so for chapter in one or the South no this is this is South Jack this is South Jackson from the railroad tracks back to Knickerbocker that sort short section there uh to actually go in there and widen that right you know between the Taco Bell and the Chick-fil-A right there to actually widen that a little bit there um redo the signalized intersection at that area we do have some funding that Chick-fil-A put up when they constructed right there they basically deferred the money to the city until we do the improvements we're we're doing the improvements so that project should be starting hopefully uh mid-summer uh so there were some Grand opportunities for rail railroad crossings Etc was there anything there that we could apply for not not in the there were some there's some smaller grants that we can look at to go back and work with TxDOT on for um actually to do The Crossing improvements for rail arms and things like that for the crossing to improve Crossings we can work with TxDOT to see if we can do those that is not a part of this project currently so

[1:34:36] please visit that one on the Chick-fil-A they gave us money to redo the construction well there instead of um instead of them doing the construction themselves at the time which would have been counter intuitive to the plans that the city had for that entire intersection right there they um they basically set aside that portion of the money and gave it to the city for us to hold on to until we did the con the rest remaining construction that we wanted to do for that intersection the widening of it the widening of it so basically on Knickerbocker or on South Jackson on South Jackson yeah on South Jackson so we have that money sitting in an account waiting for us to utilize that with our project okay so go back to the one before that which is the railroad tracks to South chadburne um for North chadburn yeah it says reconstruction North Chadbourne from railroad to tracks to the river I don't think we covered that one maybe oh oh oh Faith face B oh this is Facebook downtown project okay okay all right yeah there we go okay sorry uh yes uh this has been it's 100 designed again we're waiting uh on for funding on this one we don't have identified funding for this one specifically we do all the utility work has been completed on this uh but we do have the grant out the set of set aside Grant right now that would cover all of The Pedestrian elements along this route so if we get the grant that would cover the cost of pedestrian elements and then we would just be looking to secure the funding for the street portion of it but again the utility work has been complete all utility work has been completed and the design sits at 100 percent uh so it's ready to go at show for 80 where again we're just funding on that

[1:36:40] one uh yes yes ma'am a shady Point bridge replacement this is out at uh Lake nasworthy uh one of the bridges going into the subdivision Shady Point subdivision there um is is in very poor shape and is it needing to be replaced um there is another way in right now but again we do have it load limit this that bridge is now load limited uh to a very low amount basically uh cars only um not even delivery trucks things like that are supposed to be going over it at this point again that need need some work there you have the 160 000 uh well I think 160 that I mean we probably need to update that number currently that that number may be a little old but and also there is some utility work that will have to be done at that at that area as well too because we do have we do have sewer going across right there as well too so we will need to probably put some uh utility money into that as well too which I'm not as worried about that currently as trying to find 160 000 out of operating dollars to to cover that so give us uh obviously you can do it right now but please bring back to us what that total cost is I think we would all be concerned that it's in that poor shape and vehicular traffic is questionable so let's not ignore this issue we'll bring we'll bring back an updated number on that and and get that in the work so uh three yes 378 utility relocations this is part of the TxDOT project on oakristobal road uh from The Tavern out to the from North or South Tavern out to the loop um this is relocating all of our water lines underneath that uh underneath that roadway to get them out from underneath the new Road Road section which will all

[1:38:43] be a concrete road section going forward this is uh it's it's been let through the state and they are expecting to start construction uh late fall mpo money there assigned to it right yes there's MPL money assigned to this and so mpo the state did have to the bids again like most bids nowadays came in well over uh what the OPC was on it so the state did have to use quite a bit of discretionary dollars on it as well um the utility work our utility work did come in uh over expected OPC and so we will be I will be bringing an item back to city council to um to again to help the advanced prior to uh basically give it a more advanced funding to take stock to close over just so it has not let that uh project out has it been a project they let out because I was at the Texas Commissioners meeting yesterday and the amount of projects that they let was astounding and the amount of over and above projected costs into the multi-million dollars were approved there were some project I mean it was amazing to see the amount of projects that were LED how over forecasted the dollars were and how those projects were immediately approved and this this was one of those projects that that fell under that um we were there to speak towards obviously transportation issues for our Porsche Plains area but also specifically we had an opportunity to talk about San Angelo and so I know I mean it was I just can't say it enough it was amazing it was this this project for them did come in substantially over what what their estimate was so I

[1:40:48] believe 40 percent over what their estimate was on this project so it was it that was a staggering number when they got that number back uh but they did again they did decide to move forward with the project so the project is moving forward again we should start this fall and it's a two-year project so uh stormwater quality improvements this is just our this is just general projects uh that we list on there in case we find grant funding or other other opportunities um that we can again apply for and and we have several issue or we have several of them identified through our Master drainage plan so if again if we do have uh grant opportunities come along we have it listed in the CIP Sunset Lake and Parkview Lake improvements this is the dredging we have we we've done all the work we have opcs we are at this point we have some some funding for portions of it but we are lacking we are lacking some funding so we have the homeowners association have to come up with part of the Park View number not the sunset number right but the homeowners associations there yeah we would we would we would like for them to uh again we as we look at as we looked at the numbers and we are working I am trying to work with the with the design firm uh to to look at some alternative solutions for the Parkview Lakes um their their number their number was quite staggering and the OPC just simply because of the pumping issue how far we would actually have to pump that material to dewater it um and and so that number was very large on on the Parkview Lake one so we are looking at some alternative funding sources for that um and again to to I believe we have about 1.5 1.7 million that we have right now that we could put towards this but again as you can see where the OPC is at about 3.34 does it make sense to start with the sunset Lake

[1:42:53] piece of it because obviously Sunset Lake flows into the Parkview Lake and so the biggest issue is the park the what the sunset Lake flowing into the Park View like so if we cleaned up the sunset Lake as the first priority and delayed the Park View Lake does that make any sense at all or is that just waste of time effort money no it's it's not uh and actually there are two different stream flows so the majority of the Park View especially the North well they are two different basins catch basins so um the reason we're trying to put these together is is trying to have the scale of the project you know be large enough that we're going to attract um bidders to to come in and do multiple bidders to come and do this and hopefully drive down the price so uh economy of scale type of uh situation there so uh but again we are looking at some alternatives for the pumping um on the on the Parkview Lake aspect of it to see if we can find an alternative to bring that cost down because again the pumping costs are what were what were the driving Factor behind that uh Inc higher price on those on that Lake uh General Street construction uh this again for any Grant you know you've seen my somewhat long list already of what we've got out there for pricing so this is uh and needs on streets but again if we can find a grant Grand opportunities things like that we have a general street reconstruction or construction uh items set in there so again we're not having to come back and amend the plan as we move forward if those Grant dollars become available and then Twin Mountain Drive Extension this would be a proposed extension of Twin Mountain Drive from where it stops today um close to Southwest Boulevard which would extend it there all the way to U.S 67 or Sherwood Way for I guess Sherwood Way stops at the edge

[1:45:00] of town this we would come out right there or close to the city limits where the city limit sign is it proposed at 14.1 million all right so we're looking at 217 million dollars of the 217 million dollars what percentage of that would be something that would be covered by existing monies and or grants in the next 12 to 18 months the utility projects that I listed there in there anything in the utility portion of it is funded again there's probably probably 50 million of the other that is funded that would cover the next 12 to 24 months and so of that is that part of the 80 million dollar Bond so you've got 20 million left in it approximately we have one more bond issue we do have the we still have monies remaining because some of these projects are still that we have listed here are active projects and have all of those funds have not been expended yet so that 50 million includes the active projects while the monies may have been encumbered we have not expended those dollars yet so if we were to again prioritize these issues the one I mean I get they're all important and I don't I mean I think we all know each of these projects have huge needs behind them Shady Point seems to be a real critical issue smaller dollars but critical and we know that we have the two Grant applications for the community accessibility and connectivity project of 20 million as well as the construction of Rick's Drive sidewalks so those to 22 million dollars are Grant applications as we speak correct

[1:47:06] and um and we didn't we didn't include those since we since we don't know we didn't include that in that 50 million so that yeah they're competitive so we that that's not part of that 50 million dollar number that we we're talking about so um questions comments other concerns other issues not listed here from anybody and you'll see as you'll see as we go on there's there's a lot more my point is uh this document in 2009 listed just for infrastructure Street Maintenance 300 million yes ma'am that that number is probably closer to 800 million today now we have again we we've we started taking some big chunks out of it you know the Bell streets the Southwest College Hills we are taking some really big chunks out of that uh but again those um and but we're also expanding and we're we're growing and we're adding more streets so it's one it's one of those that that number does continue to grow uh from and to bring again when we did the fugro study back in 2015 then that number was 500 million uh then to bring our road condition scores back up you know to an 80 or 76 70 to 80 you know PCI score range so that's just non-existing that's not anything new and that was just on existing roadways at that time so and again so even though we are making headways uh making Headway uh we're we're I mean that number just keeps growing especially with the inflation factors that we've seen lately that they're that number's growing exponentially great presentation um overwhelming concerning strategically we're going to have to figure out how to deal with it as particularly because of the 80 million dollar Bond not going as far as we thought it would

[1:49:07] certainly back in 2017 so um I appreciate the work and the effort and the detail of what you guys have put into this laundry list it certainly gives us a great overview of the big picture of things that need to be dealt with sooner than later if you will so um okay and if we we do also have a list for operations in water utilities if yeah do it now because it ties into this yes yes they all still tie in so I don't know if we can and what we'll do is following the presentation on facilities we will take a lunch break so if you'll do this and then we'll take a lunch break I think it'll be about time because we're at 11 55 now so go ahead and do this and then we'll take a lunch okay run through these real quick uh the Ada self-assessment transition plan this is a again a set aside grant that we've applied for this as well too we are working we are working on a trans the transition plan a self-assessment transition plan as we speak but again this is uh a grand opportunity to help us complete uh the more detailed portion of it when we start talking about the the streets the sidewalks um uh Crossings those type things so pedestrian Crossings those type of things so we have that Grant application out right now again we're already working on the process but again trying to trying to help find some funding out outside funding to help pay for these these things that we're already working on so I would think some of the sidewalks that txdot's putting in have helped a lot in terms of these Ada issues they didn't complete it but I mean yeah they they are they are working in and so that does out of the 121

[1:51:10] signals that we you know signalized intersections we that we actually have responsible for maintenance on the major a lot of the I'm gonna say 60 of them 68 of them 65. in the 60s uh of those uh signalized intersections they're on textile right away so uh that is that is helping in that aspect as well um we are also working with TxDOT on some highway safety Improvement projects uh where we are going to be looking at replacing signalized intersections um along uh mostly along um uh North and South Bryant but uh well safety is a number one was one of the number one issues the Transportation Commission talked about and Alvin new heads up the safety aspect of TxDOT and he's really looking at safety issues as a key and and so and so we are we we took the we took the intersections within the city that actually had the highest number of traffic accidents at them and we applied for those grants and received those grants uh working working with TxDOT and so um again we we're getting uh five inner well two two on one program um and then four on another program are being replaced uh the signalized intersection was being replaced and all the safety pedestrian elements are being upgraded so again working working with TxDOT and working through those programs so it's that's the other thing they're focusing on is mobility walkability bicycle ability yep I don't know if that's a word but we just made a word yeah the next item there is emergency trailer storage just for the new um emergency command trailer that we have for the city uh but trying to get a storage facility for not only that trailer but also the police department's trailer emergency trailer response trailer as well uh to keep those assets covered in where are they now conditions they're

[1:53:12] currently stored over at our uh vehicle maintenance yard and so that's where they're stored at currently um again just want to get a cover on those so we can protect those assets and then Lake Nas were the improvements uh this was the referendum that we went out to the citizens uh to use the lake nasworthy funds to a portion of it was for the lake nazarethy uh drunk main improvements and then also uh for uh improvements around the lake boat docks those type of things where are we on the the number one fishing pier yep uh it is it is the pier is actually 100 complete we are waiting on um parking and accessible sidewalks to the pier before we open it but again we should be within the next hopefully 30 to 45 days we should have that complete it's summer week we need to get it up yep we're we're working on it trying to get all that completed and so we should we should have that open in 30 to 45 days we're pushing pretty hard on that one so working hard on that there's a question or comment Larry Karen it was me okay I would like to ask if it would be appropriate before we get too far down your list to ask for comments from our Ada coordinator about the impact of tech stock activity on some of the things that were mentioned in the prior item I'd like to hear what she has to say about the actual impact I think he had compliance the TxDOT improvements are certainly helping Tech Stop with their compliance under the Ada but we have still this Ada self-assessment and transition plan process we need to go through a lot of the projects that are listed on the CIP do require Ada accessibility upgrades as those projects are completed that's something historically that a lot of cities not just us haven't done particularly Mill and overlay people generally thought Ada was only required when it was construction or

[1:55:13] reconstruction that's not the department of Justice's guidance now and it certainly wasn't the way they always looked at it there's also curb ramps that I know Shane and I have talked about that there are locations in town that either we have reconstructed a road or done one of those processes where we should have included curb ramps and they weren't done or the curb ramp that's there is not sufficient we're receiving some complaints and grievances so that's another area that we really need to start spending some attention looking into answer your question Karen we have a list of those well that is in part what the transition plan does the transition plan requires that we go on a very detailed basis through pretty much all the city streets sidewalks and locations including downtown as well as in our neighborhoods and identify places where those facilities are missing there's a number of cities in Texas who have recently gone through that process I think Dentons has 280 Pages worth of Corrections they have to make Colleen is under a settlement agreement with the Department of Justice and they haven't even started evaluating theirs yet but I anticipate they're going to have a similar length of number of Corrections so we do based on complaints know where some of those concerns are we all know just walking around or driving around where some of those concerning areas are but to have a total list that is what the transition Plan update will do for us and that transition plan will be available when Shane we're again because you have nothing else to work on I know so that's it no well we are working on the RFQ process right now so when one for this for either for this grant or we do already have um the safe roads for all grant that we did acquire that we did already received well we were awarded we have not received it yet um they they actually had a um a bigger uh a bigger group of folks apply for that Grant and receive that Grant than what they anticipated so it has slowed them down on their process as well but for that we do have to go out for an actual RFQ for this process and

[1:57:16] so but part of the Safe Streets for all program that that's going to be more of a high high uh 60 000 yeah um sixty thousand feet view of what we're doing for the transition plan but it's a phase one step and so it's going to go out basically identify all of the safety issues that we have at all of our intersections along our streets and everything like that other sidewalks pedestrian facilities all of those things so that's going to be the phase one of this and then phase two is where we actually are going to take and start looking at all of the details of this this this intersection needs curb ramps here here and here we need a landing here we need these pedestrian elements here and so that's when that's going to be phase two as we move forward and so and whether we receive this grant or not we're still moving forward with phase one and phase two uh we're just trying to again make our city dollars go further by applying for the grant and trying instead of pocketing it all out of our operating funds so again but again moving forward so we hope to actually start uh the phase one we actually hope that we're gonna be able to start um late summer early fall [Music] the modifications ensure that that high level view includes enough detail that we can considerate our transition plan we have been telling TxDOT under a complaint with the Department of Justice for over a year that we're working on that so I think it is important to make sure that whatever we're doing in that process does qualify as a transition plan for us so that we can keep everybody happy all right so go ahead to the finish the lake Nas Where the improvements Lake nesworthy improvements they are moving along quite well we have we have been able to secure two two uh boat grants basically and through Texas Parks and Wildlife which has actually helped

[1:59:18] these dollars go further uh and so we are actually they're finalizing design on the first three now should go to bid um this summer and then as we get in out of Lake season we'll be ready to go to work on those and get those uh get those those three docks there we've applied for another grant for design of the Red Bluff Road complete Red Bluff Road ramp complete re rework of that entire ramp since that ramp is uh effectively shut down and non-usable at this point and then also for a non-motorized launch in sleep in the Sleepy Hollow area as well a design for that as well so Grant dollars for that we will apply once we get those designs in that back again next year we'll be seeing more grant opportunities come along that we'll apply for through the for through the Boating grants program and not only for Construction Construction dollars also design dollars for the we're looking at another one on Fisherman's road that we will apply for in the next Grant round so again trying to maximize these dollars as far as we can through Grant dollars additional Grant dollars so we have also purchased a boat specially designed for aquatic vegetation control and so we will be seeing that get here real quick I believe you all approved that a couple of Council meetings ago so we're hoping to see that and start working on some vegetation management out there at the lake as well so moving along very well on that project mayor I know we still have two or three more sections to go I don't know if you want to bring that keep going okay this for the vehicle maintenance shop looking at expansion of the city's fuel infrastructure and upgrading the fuel our fuel fuel sites another one here in town but also out at the airport our location at the airport those are starting to get dated those sites are dated some of the

[2:01:22] infrastructure is dated and also we are seeing we we also covered was worse but we're all we have seen um when we start getting the fuel shortage issues to where storage capacity issues for us to where we have a hard time getting delivery trucks as soon as we need them and so expanded capacity is also an issue that we're looking at as well too so as a part of this project there is some some funding fund balance that we can use to support this but definitely not all of it so again still still trying to find the dollars for that Solid Waste this is for um basically looking forward permitting um basically a new landfill we still we are still working through with our consultant that we have on board right now still working through a lot of the preliminary work so we are again this is moving fairly slow it's a fairly slow moving project again but this would be for basically design and construction of a basically a new landfill and then going through going through the Final permating Phase so questions for Shane on the new landfill just wanting to make a statement and that was just to thank you and your staff for working so hard and going through this and we realized how hard you really work I I have wonderful staff that helps me through all this I just have to try to remember it all well I know it's a great laundry lesson it's not a complete list so that's the other issue that's staggering is uh looking at traffic operations facility uh of course I think we also have in here maybe some another another slide further on that talks more about uh maybe a public works looking at redoing a public works facility and

[2:03:27] taking more of a holistic approach but this is for uh some of our infrastructure building infrastructure in the public works areas is quite aged and getting quite outdated so facility improvements there traffic signal replacement uh looking if if we are able to find money we do have again about 50 um signalized intersections that do need to be updated or 61 it says there that need to be updated and rehabilitated and brought brought in to meet the current standards and then Twin Mountain Drive Knickerbocker Road signal it has been approved it's uh we have issued a nose proceed and we are waiting on they have ordered the polls we're waiting on poll delivery uh probably looking at another 18 to 21 weeks before we'll see those polls are up there's only there's only two manufacturers in the United States making uh polls currently maybe we should recruit a manufacturer to San Angelo they get the manufactures those again uh again more facility improvements again aged infrastructure uh where the where these guys work uh I believe this this building was built the ones that they're officing out of currently history and Bridge was uh constructed in the 1950s late 1950s and has not really been added on to or improved since so again just looking for improvement dollars there but again I think we do have another request looking at a greater bigger picture but again lots of dollars Public Works yes uh Public Works uh we have the uh City City Hall Annex the this is the standard Times building uh we have looked at uh remodeling this building and you can see the the price tag there again we'll be looking for Council for direction on how or what we would want to do to move forward with that and then a public works facility this would this is the one where we would look at kind of doing

[2:05:29] a revamp of the Public Works area as a whole looking at all the facilities out there on Saint Ann Street not only from the from the vehicle maintenance side traffic Street Bridge storm water water utilities utility maintenance looking at all those facilities out there that are again getting quite aged and needing some some definite work and trying to create a trying to create a new facility um for for all of those folks to work out of on the city hall Annex the 14 million two is that what we have designed to become a future police station how did we come up with the 14 minutes no that was that was looking at uh that was looking at moving Public Works and the Fire Marshal's Office out of the uh the current city hall Annex that we're in and and basically gutting and redesigning the existing standard Times building to to house Public Works and and the Fire Marshals all well we'd look at the fire marshal maybe being in the old Clinic building over there remodeling it as well too and along with the standard Times building and working working both of those properties into that for that 14.2 uh and again that's station or not that does not include any any dollars for the police station we just have a lot of vacant space currently again with the standard Times building would would work again it worked it would work well for public works but we we went we worked with Kenny Architects to kind of do a um overview of basically a layout plan of kind of a layout plan of what that would look like for public works and it did actually include bringing the Emergency Operations Center from from um or a facility for the Emergency Operations Center to be placed in the

[2:07:33] basement of this building as well to be able to free up the space out there at the airport for that building to be freed up for any future use that could be used out there for that again looking that possible Grant dollars could be tied to that for a new Emergency Operations Center there are lots of grant opportunities in that realm of things that could help with some of the construction costs there of course working with Brian and his Lorelei to bring the Communications Department into into this building as well and along with all of Public Works the engineering water utility and the operations moving everything out of the other Annex the old First Financial Bank building over to this location to this location which would free up that building for the police department to be able to rehabilitate into a new facility for them mayor there was discussion as far as the the looking at the possibility of the standard time is building for the police station but I know the guys the Chiefs did an evaluation looked at the space that was available even the parking for the police vehicles and all the equipment that they currently have and it just wasn't it just wasn't big enough even close to as big enough as what they need at this point so that's why it just reverted back to discussing it as a Public Works building so we will have a number later on about the police station well the the police station itself will be we're still looking at the the city hall Annex once the everyone moves from the city hall Annex into the standard Times building the uh the city hall Annex where it is right now will will be the uh the area that we're discussing for the police department and the costs associated with it will be discussed later on so yeah meaning not today but later on meaning not today or yesterday we'll see right now uh I know the Chiefs have maybe what they uh would be a kind of a really a guesstimate because we

[2:09:35] really haven't done anything the study is necessary to determine what exactly it's going to cost for the police department to move into that building so right now really all we would have would be more of a a forecasted guest really to kind of give us an indication what the cost may be so it's twofold as as you can tell of course we have the Public Works moving in and then uh police department looking at the the City Hall Atlantic so that's two totally different costs is this is only for public works and the individuals that will look at move into the standard Times building all right keep going operations public works okay if you want a break for lunch we can come back and do water and sewer or however you want to take a break for lunch yeah let's do it a presentation okay next up on the Water Utility side we have um City Hall Annex improvements hundred thousand this is for the elevator the elevator we've done a lot of work on the on all the systems over there most everything is up to uh new and working in good working condition now the elevator has reached its uh the end of its useful life and is in need of replacement we we do have quite a few issues with it and have the repairman out quite often so we have this in there as well uh next up elevated storage tank this is on for the Northeast part of town um is as we start seeing that part of town grow we we're starting to have some issues uh getting enough water and pumping enough water up into that part of town so uh if currently we're okay but we're we're expecting probably in the next three to five years that we will have to add additional storage up in that area uh for that area specifically is watching it kind of when you start looking at the pollen area up in that the Northeast part of town out 277 Industrial Park uh even kind of back over towards 208 kind

[2:11:39] of in that Corridor segment as you look there up towards the rail Park yes it kind of yes all that area up in there we are going to need to look at Future expansion of elevated storage in that area so the storage you're saying is 11 million and I think you had quoted somewhere in the range of 10 to 15 million on doing the Circle water sewer line around the rail Park areas well three and a half three and a half million I believe was the last number that we looked at on doing the the water main extension in that area which would create a new Loop that would go up through there probably another uh four to five million for the sewer side of it for a lift station to get the to get the sewer from the rail Park to the closest um collector main that we have in this in the city there so that's not included that's not included in this this is just elevated storage and this does not include design either this is just construction cost right here so probably looking at another million and a half two million on design for the elevated storage and that's number unfortunately um like a lot of the numbers that we we see and we hear they get outdated really quick so this number is probably a year old and so that it may be a little higher than that now but again we're we're still sticking with that number until we actually work through the process and start getting a consultant on board and start looking at the design processes so um Hickory groundwater expansion I'll go into that a little bit further in my other in my next presentation uh when we start going through projects but again the expansion of the Hickory groundwater system for um our water supply needs um nuclear wheel that also goes with is going on in piping there at the plant that kind of goes in hand in or it's in the same project as the Hickory and so we'll talk about that as we get into the next presentation water and chemical building and hypertenses we have

[2:13:45] um this is as we're looking into the future and we start looking at the uh Concho River project that is in the permitting phase right now again I'll talk about that a little bit then but this will be a project that will go along with that as we move forward along with the Water Production Control Center and lab those two projects together kind of go hand in hand with the Concho River Project um water treatment are we on getting the permits for the Concho River Water Project we have we actually have the discharge permit we have we already have that in place and we were working on the Ben Banks process now hopefully kind of timeline hopefully we'll see a draft permit we're hoping sometime this fall late summer early fall we'll see a draft permit and then from there things will start picking up it's picking up speed a little bit from that point I know it has been sitting on high Center for a couple of years now but things are starting to move on the bend bank so we'll see that be seeing that come along there next Water Treatment Plant improvements this these also go along with that project as well the North Country River project for the 62 million four hundred and two thousand that that will be a part of that next next phase of the project for the treatment of that water also looking and I'll discuss this a little bit later on um in my other presentation as well too but we'll kind of overlapping somewhere from the water um we just approved another piece of that last city council meeting so we have from the Texas water fund or something oh Texas water development that was that was the additional cost of the Hickory groundwater Expansion Project at 13 million that we just did that was part of the existing project that we have now that we got the 13 million for so that that was this part of the upgrades that we're doing now to for the clear well and some of the

[2:15:48] piping and the work that we're having to do in the Hickory treatment facility there here in town some of this is in that 13 million or no no this is this is all separate this yeah this is over and above that a separate project so and and some of this looking at well we'll get into that later on so that doesn't sound good oh we'll get into that well in the other the other presentation we'll start talking about some of the longer term things that we need to look at is that it or we'll we'll go back oh okay there you are uh water meter reading Ami system equipment upgrades we have started this project uh we are doing it in multi-years uh we uh remember oh three or four months ago five months ago we came to council authorized us for 2.7 million this first year to initiate this project and again this will be an ongoing project over the next three years upgrading all of our meters and The Collector system that goes along with our meters or meter reading system Lake operations maintenance facility the the existing facility there just kind of a revamped old shed and houses and shacks and definitely way past its uh it's its useful life uh looking at uh currently one of the biggest things we're looking at is trying to find an appropriate place for this facility uh to to rework it right there as you come in off Fisherman's Road you the existing facilities there uh not necessarily maybe a good location but doesn't not necessarily bet the best representation for the cities you're coming from the airport or going to visit the lake so again we want to upgrade that facility and probably find a better location for a maintenance facility than right there on the main

[2:17:51] road coming into town and and entering into the lake I I don't believe a paint job will help that one no ma'am yeah uh a m water replacement this uh we're approximately 60 percent throughout this project maybe even a little further at this point um again we're doing pipe bursting process on this uh slow down a little bit we did have the change order the other day on the valves because we did find several valves that we're going to have to replace in this project and so working through that but again 60 70 percent complete on the on this project uh Lake Nazareth sanitary sewer collection system improvements luckily this number decreased substantially we're at 35.9 instead of 54 million thankfully uh so but we just got the POS and so fixing the issue notes we've had free pre-con meetings on this I'll go through this in my other presentation a little later but uh moving moving along on this project as well there are a lot of interest in terms of people wanting this project we are we we've already assigned it right yeah we've yeah we have yeah yeah we've already done it we're we're issuing POS currently issuing POS and noses to proceed we've already had a pre-con meeting so we're we're ready to get started so that would be like next month yeah yes we are working we are still working on two or three easements that in one of the easements specifically is uh where one of our boards is going to go under the river where we come up on the other side that's one of these ones we're waiting on that has kind of slowed us process down just a little bit because they they don't want to mobilize all of their boring cruising their boiling equipment in uh and get everything else bored and then be hung up waiting on an easement so before they can start that last pour so they don't want to have to demobilize and then remobilize again so

[2:19:53] um so that we've kind of that's has been a small hang up but we think we're about we think we're working through this and uh should have some resolution fairly quick on on that one um on that one easement so but again we're we're ready to move forward with this project uh Water Reclamation plan improvements this also will go along with the um North uh with the river Concho River Water Project future future project there uh lift station improvements uh General lift station improvements um just normal uh kind of a general line item there for for work progress won't some of those grinder stations disappear when we do this Lake nazworthy sewers uh yes uh we we will we will be taking uh when it's all said and done we will be of course adding one major lift station but removing one two three four I can think of off top of my head maybe five lift stations that will be taken offline with the lake nasworthy we have another project here that we'll talk about um the this North Concho River and sanitary sewer collection system improvements the CIP and then the one below it are kind of the same are going to be the same project basically we'll probably bid them out at the same time the first one is basically from down there as you Bogard and Harris where you cross the river right there going back north of 14th Street is doing the the basically relining the sewer line in that area a major collector line there lining that sewer segment there to get some more life out of the existing pipe and then the other one is going to basically be able to let us take the shallow lift station offline which is right there at Shiloh which causes us quite a bit of grief from time to time so and again it is it's one of the older ones and be able to take that

[2:21:57] off we'll be able to again we'll siphon take it siphon under the river and then a new line that'll go down through Santa Fe Park and tie into the one that we constructed and built oh four five six years ago now we'll tie into that one it may be longer than that my time time flies uh and then vacuum truck this is the one where we keep our vacuum truck in in the CIP those are large pieces of equipment and and quite costly so I like nasworthy sewer project talk to me okay the positive the work will start and what is the time frame remind us again of the time frame to complete the project um uh hopefully they're we're going to start we'll see mobilization start uh within the next 45 days and so we would hope construction would start where they're actually starting to bore within the hopefully the next 60 days and then and even sooner if they can get here sooner and we can get mobilized in here sooner uh we're we're ready we're ready to get this project started again waiting waiting on those last easements but we believe we're we're making Headway on those so uh but again I'm hoping within 60 days it will start construction and then it is a 24-month contract uh and it's actually two contracts there will be the pipeline contract and then there's also going to be the lift station contract those are two separate contracts the lift station contract will start once the once the siphon under the letter not this often once the um once the bore underneath the lake and we get all that work done once that's done then they will come in and start the lift station work right behind that and remind me if no I know because we have capacity issues and we have people who are willing to want to start doing some new development out there so but nothing can happen until this whole thing is done so in other words there's not going to be a piece of it done so

[2:24:00] then all of a sudden we can start something new it's got to be complete and it yes ma'am it has to be completed we have to tie we have to tie this new sewer into our existing sewer it has to all be in place uh before we can actually start pumping through the system so it will all have to be in place and I'll have to be there now there may be some of the other legs the secondary legs of the system we get the primary trunk Main in some of the secondary some of the secondary lines that we're going to use to take other lift stations off that aren't necessarily part of the main trunk we could be working on those secondarily to that but again that's that's a work schedule and work process and again we'll we'll work with the contractors we're moving through to see if we can speed that process up to where we can get the main trunk line serviceable and ready but for the most part we're going to have to go from point A to point B um there may be some again some secondary subsidiary work that can be going on after the fact and after it's in service but it's pretty much point a point B has to be complete questions for Shane at this point okay that's me all right are you done I'm done good job again as we've said wow the dollars are wow I mean I don't know if you know the answer to this but have they already started the testing of the water in residential areas you know for the left for the fire stuff yes on the lead and copper rural revision process that we're going through right now uh we we have we we're actually two-thirds of the way through uh that the process of actually testing the service lines we have I believe we've just started June 5th we're starting the third leg June 5th of the testing and so again we're basically two-thirds of the way through that process and of course we do the water sample we do the water sampling kind of separate from that but right now the main focus is the actually the service

[2:26:02] line testing the service lines for lead and of course the the actually testing of the water where we get where we get homeowners to volunteer to basically take the tap samples for us uh that's ongoing and and will continue to be ongoing volunteer your house to be one of the tests I should have I did and it's already rigged up in my house and it's they came and put it in and they were gone in an hour too and it's all I didn't think I was in the right zone or something eligible well my neighborhood I'm eligible [Music] free gift card to Outback and everything yeah oh my god well Shane again thank you truly the numbers are overwhelming and I know they're not numbers that quote have to be done in the year our next yearly budget but on the other hand the cost of doing these projects gets more expensive every year so the longer it takes us to address these issues the larger the dollar amount is going to be so we need to get as creative as we possibly can to do the thing that the citizens expect us to do first and foremost and that is infrastructure and that is from a Citizens perspective our number one priority is taking care of our streets and water so utilities so you've got a big you have broad shoulders and thank goodness you do because it's going to take it to carry this through and help us get done what the citizens want us to do as a priority thank you next up we will go through the police department's requests and the capital Improvement plan oh so Frank the first question is with

[2:28:12] these new um things that were passed in May does that mean you're on for police chief for one more year negative negative good afternoon mayor good afternoon Council you've touched on the police building or our wants for the police building but on our CIP we have two items um I'll be very brief and open it up for any discussion you may have after I'm done our police building as you know was built in 1963. over the past 60 years the department has grown in both personnel and the space for need need for space our department currently is divided into four buildings the main police building the annex and we have child crimes detectives that are in a separate building and we have two training locations what makes that very difficult if we go south as you're where we have our graduation there anything classroom related is south of the city limits four miles anything we do gun range type or on hands we go north of the city limits 10 miles I mean broad coverage of this very broad actually in the County maintenance continue to maintenance we spent over 200 and something thousand dollars over the last several years mainly in HVAC so we are requesting a new police department I know there's been discussion about the City Annex church for me I really believe it's this has been an ongoing conversation I think anyone who's walked through your police station knows that getting a new police station is pretty high on a priority list I think we need to get one done and appreciate that I believe it was August of 2016 when I walked in the office we had a discussion with the architect who had a proposal and plan for the City Annex and I believe at that time the figure was 42 million dollars to demolish the annex as it sits or 38 million dollars to remodel and that was in 2016. so we've had those

[2:30:15] discussions up until now um the other uh item on the CIP is the training academy which I briefly touched on um it's in need of major repairs and again if we do any type training in classroom we go south of the city limits anything North as far as Firearms we have to go or as far as firearm training we have to go north outside the city limits about 10 miles we've outgrown it you've been there during graduation and we're continually have to maintain and pour money in that facility as well I believe it was built in 1990 so we certainly looks like it was way before then that's correct that's correct anyway that's all I have I don't want to beat this to death so if anybody has any questions I'll entertain that well for me as I said I think we know the need for the police station I think we need to find a path forward for it I think that's got to be something we tackle and figure out the game plan for it I think there's been patients if you want to call it that maybe that's not the right adjective but we need a new facility and I think we've secured the buildings to make one happen now we've got to figure out the cost of making it happen and getting something moving forward but I believe strongly in the need for that questions we've heard you we got it and I like it simple and straightforward thank you next is fire department good morning Council mayor Patrick Brody fire chief I'll be actually pretty brief myself because a lot of these cips are covered in my presentation later uh ambulance we purchased two ambulances a

[2:32:17] year and uh the prices have actually skyrocketed in the last year Shane can actually attest to the price of vehicles over 30 increase in a lot of areas and that's no exception for a for an ambulance or fire truck replacement so the next one is fire engine replacement and um we currently are coming up on engine 8 needing to be replaced it is 17 years old right now and I have an item coming back to Council on the six next week to replace that unit have the funding for it already secured ready for Council approval moving into the future we have two trucks that are approaching the 15-year Mark and they are fairly significant priced one of them is a rescue truck um currently sitting right now at 13 years and another one is Ladder one that's our 100 foot platform at Central and uh it's recommended at a 20-year replacement so rescue truck is coming up on a two-year needing to be replaced and the ladder truck about seven years the combined price for both of those units is about three million dollars and not to take away from the presentation but the current allocation that we've received for vehicle replacement is about 250 000 a year math it's going to take a long time to get three million dollars at 250 a year so we need to adjust that again that's in my presentation next item is in addition to the training center classroom we are busting at the seams at that facility again something else in my presentation later we've got a lot of really excited things going on in the training academy we are expanding and we have a pretty high need for an additional classroom so we can have our Paramedic program and a paramedic lab facility because we already own the property it would be it wouldn't be near as big of an expense if we were having to search for property or search for actual architectural plans and the the last one is for the future land for fire stations uh immediate need Fire Station Number Nine also discuss later in my presentation on the south

[2:34:22] sector of San Angelo long term probably about 10-year plan there's a need for a fire station on the east side of town as the city expands South and expands East we will need to provide coverage for that so that's it if y'all have any other questions for me any questions or comments from anybody thank you very much I think that wraps up the capital Improvement plan
