JAIME IS MARRIED TO HIS WIFE, NANCY, AND TOGETHER THEY HAVE TWO DAUGHTERS, GRACIELA AND NATALIA.

IN 2012, AT THE AGE OF 21, I GRADUATED FROM THE EL PASO COMMUNITY COLLEGE LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING ACADEMY.

HIS CAREER WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT, WITH HIS CAREER WITH THE HORIZON CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT BEGAN IN APRIL OF 2013.

HE SERVED WELL AS SERVING AS A NON-PAID RESERVE OFFICER.

LATER, HE SECURED A FULL TIME POSITION WITH THE WITH HCCPD IN MARCH OF 2014.

AS A PATROL OFFICER, JAIME QUICKLY BECAME BEGAN TO DISTINGUISH HIMSELF AND EARNED THE ROLE OF FIELD TRAINING OFFICER.

HE WAS LATER APPOINTED AS OFFICER IN CHARGE, WHERE HE ASSUMED SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES.

HE ALSO EARNED A PRESIDENT'S LETTER OF RECOGNITION FOR HIS ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE.

IN OCTOBER OF 2023, JAIME WAS AWARDED A MASTER PEACE OFFICER CERTIFICATE, MARKING A SIGNIFICANT MILESTONE IN HIS CAREER.

HE NOW BOASTS A COMMENDABLE SERVICE RECORD OF OVER 11 YEARS.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

OUR CHIEF PLANNER.

THAT'S A LITTLE TOUGH TO FOLLOW THAT ONE, RIGHT? SO THIS IS A REZONING REQUEST FOR A PROPERTY LOCATED NORTH OF HORIZON BOULEVARD AND WEST OF CANAL BOULEVARD.

THE REQUEST IS TO GO FROM A-1 APARTMENTS TO C-1 COMMERCIAL FOR PROPOSED COMMERCIAL USES.

MAIN ACCESS IS OFF OF CANAL DRIVE, AND AS FAR AS PUBLIC INPUT, WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY COMMUNICATION AND SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION TO THE REQUEST.

TO THE LEFT IS A ZONING MAP.

TO THE NORTH, IT'S ALL R4 AND R9 TO THE SOUTH, R9 AND A-1, SOME C-1 AS WELL.

AND THEN TO THE EAST R2, C-1, AND P PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT.

ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS THE AERIAL MAP.

AND AGAIN, SUBJECT PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY A-1.

THESE ARE SOME PICTURES OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

TO THE NORTH PRIMARILY IS SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.

THE EAST LAKE MESA ESTATE ESTATES SUBDIVISION TO THE SOUTH.

IT'S VACANT AND UNDEVELOPED LAND.

AND THEN FURTHER SOUTH IS PAST RAINBOW.

TEXAS RAINBOW IS AN APARTMENT COMPLEX.

AND THEN TO THE EAST IS DESERT HILLS ELEMENTARY, AND TO THE WEST IS EAST LAKE UNIT TWO.

SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION.

THE HORIZON CITIES VISION 2020 FUTURE LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION IS FOR PARKS AND OPEN SPACE FOR BOTH OF THE LOTS.

ITS TWO TWO LOTS.

THIS IS THE CONCEPTUAL SONY MAP IN RED ARE BUILDINGS PROPOSED TO BE 7200FT².

THESE ARE THE SURVEYS.

ON THE LEFT IS THE LARGER PARCEL.

IT'S APPROXIMATELY 2.98 ACRES, 2.96 ACRES.

AND THEN ON THE ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS THE SMALLER ONE.

IT'S A ONE ACRE LOT.

AS FAR AS AGENTS TO REVIEW, THERE WERE NO ADVERSE COMMENTS OR PENDING COMMENTS FROM STAFF AND STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE ZONE CHANGE FROM A1 TO C1.

THERE ARE COMPATIBLE USES IN THE AREA.

AND THEN ALSO IT IS NOT A VIOLATION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS IT CALLED FOR OPEN SPACE.

AND IT ACTUALLY GOT ZONED TO TO A1 APARTMENTS.

[00:15:04]

ALSO, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED ADJACENT TO A MAJOR, MAJOR ARTERIAL CANAL, AND THE PROPOSED USES ARE ALIGNED TO SUPPORT SURROUNDING LAND USES IN THE AREA. THESE ARE THE OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

AND WITH THAT, THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

UNLESS THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE FROM THE COUNCIL.

WELL, BEING THAT THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, I'D LIKE TO OPEN THIS UP TO PUBLIC COMMENT.

WOULD ANYBODY FROM THE COMMUNITY WISH TO COMMENT ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? NO. GO AHEAD AND CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT.

MOVE ON TO. NUMBER TEN.

THIS IS THE DISCUSSION AND ACTION PORTION OF THIS SAME ITEM AS PREVIOUSLY READ INTO RECORD.

DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL PERTAINING TO THIS AGENDA ITEM? MOTION TO APPROVE. WE HAVE A MOTION AND WE HAVE A SECOND.

COULD YOU PLEASE FOLD THE COUNCIL? ALL RIGHT. YES.

HI. HI.

HI. HI.

HI, MENDOZA. HI.

MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU ALL.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, SIR. ITEM NUMBER 11.

[Items 11 & 12]

THIS IS ON THE SECOND READING OF AN ORDINANCE.

ORDINANCE NUMBER 0296, AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE.

AND ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NUMBER 0296 OF THE TOWN OF MASON CITY.

ADOPTING THE BUDGET OF THE 2023 2024 FISCAL YEAR TO ALLOW FOR THE TRANSFER OF FUNDS IN THE 2023 STREET MAINTENANCE SURPLUS FUNDS TO THE 2024 STREET MAINTENANCE PROGRAM, AND FROM THE MASS TRANSIT PUBLIC SERVICE BUDGET TO THE PLANNING OPERATING BUDGET AND.

PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY CLAUSES.

GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL TERRY CASADA, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM MANAGER.

THIS ORDINANCE PROPOSES TWO CHANGES TO THE BUDGET.

THE FIRST IS AN AMENDMENT THAT TRANSFERS $13,000 FROM THE PUBLIC SERVICE OPERATING BUDGET TO THE PLANNING OPERATING BUDGET, AND THE SECOND IS TRANSFER OF $509,700 WITHIN THE STREET MAINTENANCE FUND SO THAT WE CAN FUND THE AWARD AND FULL PROJECT FOR STREET MAINTENANCE FOR 2023 2024.

WE INTRODUCED THIS TO YOU BACK IN MAY, AND SO NOW WE'RE BRINGING IT TO YOU FOR YOUR FINAL CONSIDERATION.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

THE AWARD OF BOTH THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT CONTRACT ARE ON THE AGENDA FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION LATER ON IN THE AGENDA.

BEING THAT THIS IS A.

THIS AGENDA ITEM IS A PUBLIC HEARING WILL GO AHEAD AND OPEN IT UP TO PUBLIC COMMENT.

WOULD ANYBODY FROM THE COMMUNITY WISH TO COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? YEAH. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT.

NUMBER 12, THIS IS THE DISCUSSION AND ACTION PORTION OF THE SAME ITEM AS PREVIOUSLY READ INTO THE RECORD.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL FOR THIS AGENDA ITEM? I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.

HOW MUCH IS THE.

PAUL. ROWE.

CONSTRUCTION, CONTRIBUTING TO THE FACT THAT YOU NEED THIS ADDITIONAL.

IT IS NOT. THIS IS STRICTLY FOR THE 2023 2024 STREET MAINTENANCE PROGRAM.

OKAY. THEN I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE INCREASE IN THE BUDGET.

I'M SORRY. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND IF IF IF THAT'S NOT PART OF IT, THEN WHY WAS THERE NEEDED TO BE AN INCREASE? THERE WASN'T ENOUGH FUNDS FOR THE SCOPE OF WORK THAT WAS ADVERTISED, AND THAT WAS PRESENTED TO COUNCIL FOR THE STREET MAINTENANCE.

THE ORIGINAL BUDGET WAS ABOUT 1,000,002.

THE ORIGINAL BUDGET IS APPROVED BY COUNCIL FOR 20 2423 FOR THE STREET MAINTENANCE FUND.

LET ME LOOK QUICKLY HERE.

YES, MA'AM. IT WAS.

AND WE'RE ADDING ANOTHER A LITTLE OVER HALF $1 MILLION.

AND YOU'RE ADDING A HALF A MILLION FOR 1.7.

SO THE.

THE. I'M JUMPING AHEAD TO THE ITEM 16, BUT THE TWO ITEMS ARE ABOUT A MILLION.

THREE A LITTLE OVER 1,000,003.

[00:20:03]

THE AMOUNT THAT WAS BUDGETED FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS WAS 824,000.

SO WE'RE ADDING 439,000 TO THAT FOR THE 1.2 MILLION.

THAT ALLOWS FOR A CONTINGENCY AMOUNT WITHIN CONSTRUCTION, SO THAT IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER CHANGE ORDERS THAT HAVE TO BE EXECUTED DURING THE PROJECT, WE CAN WE CAN DO THOSE WITHOUT HAVING TO COME BACK FOR ANOTHER AMENDMENT.

THE DEVELOPMENT IS ALSO BEING INCREASED BY ANOTHER 149,000, AND THAT'S TO COVER THE FULL EXPENSE OF CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT COSTS.

SO IT'S IT'S NOT JUST THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT AWARD, BUT A CONTINGENCY AMOUNT, THE FULL CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AS WELL AS PROJECT MANAGEMENT COSTS. ALL RIGHT.

AND THE 1.2 MILLION ALSO INCLUDED 140,000 FOR OPERATING EXPENSES.

SO THAT DOES NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THE STREET MAINTENANCE PROGRAM.

OKAY. HOW MUCH OF THAT HOW MUCH OF A BURROW WAS IN THERE? I'M SORRY. HOW MUCH THE EXPENSES FOR BRO WERE SUPPOSED TO COME OUT OF THE STREET MAINTENANCE FUND AS WELL.

YES, THEY THEY ARE.

OKAY. HOW MUCH WAS THAT? I DON'T HAVE THAT FIGURE, BUT I CAN PROVIDE THAT TO COUNCIL.

YES, MA'AM. DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL TO APPROVE? SECOND. MOTION TO APPROVE AND A SECOND.

PLEASE PULL THE COUNCIL.

MILLARD PETERS.

HI. HI HI, HI.

HI, MENDOZA. RIGHT MOTION CARRIES.

ITEM NUMBER 13.

THIS IS ON A CAPITAL.

[13. Discussion and Action]

GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL TERRI CASADA, CITY MANAGER.

THANK YOU. OXBOW, PAULINE AND STREET.

OXBOW, PAULINE AND BARROW STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

WE ARE EXPECTING TO MODIFY THE COMPLETION DATE TO JUNE 21ST OF 2024.

I BELIEVE I'VE REPORTED TO COUNCIL THAT THERE WERE DELAYS IN THE PROJECT, BASED ON SOME EL PASO ELECTRIC WORK THAT HAD TO BE COMPLETED.

A WALK THROUGH OCCURRED ON OR WILL OCCUR JUNE 12TH TOMORROW.

WE EXPECT THAT TO BE THE FINAL WALK THROUGH AND SO THAT WE CAN START THE CLOSE OUT PROJECT.

AND WE EXPECT TO BRING A CHANGE ORDER FOR THE FINAL QUANTITY ADJUSTMENTS AND THE TIME ADJUSTMENTS TO COUNCIL AT THE JULY MEETING.

THESE ARE SOME IMAGES.

AND YOU CAN SEE THAT SOME OF THOSE ARE ABOUT A MONTH OLD.

OF THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE.

MUNICIPAL FACILITIES.

PHASE ONE.

COUNCIL WILL BE CONSIDERING THE AWARD OF THE SOLICITATION LATER ON THE AGENDA TODAY.

THE STREET MAINTENANCE FUND AGAIN.

COUNCIL WILL BE CONSIDERING THE AWARD OF THIS PROJECT LATER ON.

THE AGENDA THAT INCLUDES MILL AND OVERLAY FOR SOUTH AND NORTH CANALS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF MCMAHON AVENUE.

FOR NORTH DARRINGTON RECONSTRUCTION.

WE BELIEVE THAT WE CAN USE TRW'S FUNDS TO SECURE A CIB LOAN FOR THE FUNDING GAP, AND WE'RE WORKING TO MEET WITH OUR PARTNERS ON THAT SO THAT WE CAN ADJUST THE AGREEMENTS THAT ARE NECESSARY TO CAPTURE THAT THAT INCREMENT, SO THAT WE CAN THEN APPLY IT TO CIB LOAN.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A LENGTHIER PROCESS BECAUSE WE DO NEED TO AMEND THOSE AGREEMENTS.

WE'LL BRING THOSE, OF COURSE, BACK TO COUNCIL.

WE'RE PLANNING TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CAMINO REAL REGIONAL MOBILITY AUTHORITY SO THAT THEY CAN MANAGE THE CIB LOAN APPLICATION.

AND SO AGAIN, ALL OF THAT WILL BE BROUGHT BACK TO COUNCIL.

THIS IS RELATIVELY NEW.

COUNCIL DID NOT HAVE THAT ON ITS BACKUP.

BUT THIS IS THE MOST RECENT UPDATE, THE ACCESS TO BRIER TOWNHOMES, AND YOU WILL NOTICE THAT ONLY LOCAL TRAFFIC WILL BE PERMITTED TO ENTER FROM HORIZON BOULEVARD, AND ALL TRAFFIC FROM THE TOWNHOMES OR BUSINESSES WILL NEED TO UTILIZE DRIVEWAY THREE, WHICH IS THE ADJACENT BUSINESS DRIVEWAY.

WE WANTED TO PUT THIS INTO OUR CIP REPORT SO THAT WE HAD THAT WE HAD ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING.

EXCUSE ME. YES, SIR.

THAT'S THE PERMANENT ACCESS.

[00:25:01]

NO, THAT'S DURING CONSTRUCTION.

THAT'S. THAT'S A DETOUR.

IT'S JUST DURING CONSTRUCTION.

YES, SIR. WE'RE GETTING REALLY CLOSE.

WE BELIEVE THAT WE CAN EXECUTE THE TEXAS GAS SERVICE ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT THAT WILL ALLOW FOR THE CONTRACTOR TO START WORK ON NORTH DARRINGTON.

WE STILL EXPECT THERE TO BE 4 TO 5 WEEKS BEFORE THEY CAN MOBILIZE TO START THAT.

AND THEN THE THE DETOURS WILL BEGIN.

THE REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT IS STILL PENDING.

WE'RE WORKING OUT SOME FINAL LANGUAGE SO THAT IT'S A NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT FOR THE RELOCATIONS THAT THEY WILL BE CONDUCTING.

AND WE HAVE ACQUIRED ALL OF THE RIGHT OF WAY FOR THE POND.

WE'RE CLOSING ON THE TWO FINAL EASEMENTS AT MURPHY AND WALMART, SO THAT WE CAN HAVE ACCESS TO TO THOSE PROPERTIES FOR THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL THAT WILL BE THERE.

ON SAFETY PROJECTS.

SOUTH DARRINGTON SAFETY LIGHTING.

THE THE PROJECT IS SCHEDULED TO BE COMPLETED THIS SUMMER, SO WE'RE CLOSE ON THAT ONE.

AND ARPA PROJECTS.

WE ALSO HAVE AN ITEM ON COUNCIL AGENDA FOR THE COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION.

THAT WILL GIVE YOU A HIGHLIGHT HERE.

TRANSITS PLAZA SIDING PROJECT.

WE ARE EXPECTING TO BRING A SITE RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL BY LATE SUMMER OR EARLY FALL.

STAFF HAS RECEIVED PRELIMINARY REPORTS ON THREE SITING OPTIONS FOR THE TRANSIT PLAZA, SO STAFF WILL BE REVIEWING.

THOSE WILL BE COORDINATING WITH THE COUNTY'S TRANSIT PROGRAM TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SITE THAT'S SELECTED WORKS WITH PROPOSED ROUTES.

CITY HALL BUILDOUT.

WE'RE COORDINATING THE SCOPE OF WORK WITH A CONSULTANT.

SO AGAIN, WE EXPECT TO TO BRING AN AGREEMENT TO COUNCIL PRETTY QUICKLY FOR THE DESIGN AND STREET AND DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS.

WE'RE GOING TO ADVERTISE FOR REQUIREMENTS CONTRACTS SO THAT WE CAN ISSUE TASK ORDERS FOR THOSE DESIGNS.

AND FOR DILLY DILLY IN TRANSIT PLAZA, WE'RE STILL WORKING WITH HUD.

THAT HAS BEEN A LENGTHIER PROCESS THAN WE HAD ANTICIPATED, BUT WE'RE WE'RE WORKING THROUGH IT.

AND SUBJECT TO YOUR QUESTIONS.

COUNCIL. THAT CONCLUDES THE CIP REPORT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, DOCTOR. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? LET'S SEE. WHAT'S GOING POORLY.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE DONE BY THIS MONTH.

THAT'S WHAT. YES, WE'RE WE'RE DOING THE WALKTHROUGH TOMORROW.

SO THAT ONE'S BEEN ON THERE FOR TEN YEARS.

SINCE 20. SINCE 2014.

YES. IT WAS PART OF THE ORIGINAL SERIES.

SO. CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT ONE.

MOVE TO ACCEPT THE REPORT.

I SECOND THE MOTION. WE GOT A MOTION AND A SECOND.

COUNCIL. GOOD EVENING.

TERRI QUEZADA, CIP MANAGER.

THIS IS THE LONG AWAITED AWARD OF THE SOLICITATION FOR MUNICIPAL FACILITIES PHASE ONE.

COUNCIL MAY RECALL THAT THE CITY DID A BEST VALUE PROCUREMENT, A COMPETITIVE SEALED PROPOSAL, WHICH MEANS THAT THE COST WAS ONLY 40% OF THE OVERALL WEIGHT FOR THE EVALUATION OF THE THE PROPOSERS.

THE CITY RECEIVED SEVEN SOLICITATIONS, SEVEN PROPOSALS, WHICH IS EXCELLENT.

WE WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS OF EVALUATING THEM.

THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE INCLUDED THE USER DEPARTMENTS, THE POLICE CHIEF, CITY CLERK AS WELL, AND THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, AS WELL AS THE THE, THE A AND E SELECTION COMMITTEE, WHICH INCLUDES THE FINANCE DIRECTOR, THE CITY ENGINEER, THE CIP MANAGER OUR DESIGN CONSULTANT.

EXIGO WAS AN EX OFFICIO MEMBER.

THEY CERTAINLY SERVED AS A RESOURCE TO THE TOWN.

AS WE LOOKED AT THE EVALUATION, WE LOOKED AT A NUMBER OF CRITERIA THAT WE OUTLINED IN THE MEMO THAT WE PRESENTED TO TO

[00:30:07]

WE EXPECTED THAT THOSE WERE THE MOST CRITICAL CRITERIA IN EVALUATING THE PROJECT.

WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT THIS WAS A PROJECT THAT WAS GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTED BY A QUALIFIED CONTRACTOR WHO COULD DELIVER ON TIME AND ON BUDGET.

WE HAVE OUR DESIGN CONSULTANT HERE.

MR. MESTA IS HERE.

WE ALSO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM DANTEC'S.

SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS? STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THE AWARD OF THE BASE BID AND THE ALTERNATES.

THERE WERE FOUR ALTERNATES TO INCLUDE THE AN EXTERIOR CANOPY SALLYPORT AT THE HOLDING CELLS AND TWO ALTERNATES FOR LANDSCAPING.

GIVEN THE THE AMOUNTS THAT WE RECEIVED IN THE SOLICITATION PROPOSALS, WE WE WERE RECOMMENDING THAT WE AWARD THE BASE BID AND THOSE FOUR ALTERNATES.

SO SUBJECT TO YOUR QUESTIONS FOR ME OR FOR ANY OF THE TEAM MEMBERS THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

WELL THANK YOU DOCTOR I APPRECIATE IT.

AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THIS ONE AS WELL.

THIS ONE IS BEEN.

ALMOST ALMOST TEN YEARS.

AND FURNITURE FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT ARE ALSO SEPARATE FROM THIS.

ANY QUESTIONS? I WOULD MOVE TO APPROVE THIS ONE.

WHO WOULD LIKE TO SECOND THIS ONE? I'LL SECOND THAT. THERE YOU GO.

SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

COULD YOU PLEASE PULL THE COUNCIL? YEAH. ALL RIGHT.

HI. HI.

HI. HI.

HI. MOTION CARRIES.

I WOULD SAY YES, TOO.

HOW ABOUT AN ENTHUSIASTIC ENDORSEMENT, MAYOR? THERE YOU GO. I THINK IT MIGHT BE APPROPRIATE.

I THINK THE CONTRACTOR IS HERE TO SPEAK TO US A LITTLE BIT, PLEASE.

SO. I'M NOT SURE.

GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS TYLER DANIELS.

OF THE WORK ON MCMAHON.

OKAY. OKAY.

IT SAYS IT'S GOING TO YOUR MEMO SAYS IT'S FROM BRO TO CARNAZZO.

AND I WONDER WHY IT'S NOT GOING ALL THE WAY TO CROCKER, SINCE THAT'S WHERE THE SOUTH SIDE WAS DONE.

GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL. ROXANNE MEDINA, A TOWN ENGINEER.

ACTUALLY, IT DOES GO ALL THE WAY TO CROCKER, AND IT INCLUDES BIG LONG.

SO WE DID INCLUDE BIG LONG THE NORTHERN PART OF THE ONLY REASON IT'S DOING THE NORTHERN PART OF MCMAHON IS THAT WHEN THE AIR MUD CAME IN WITH THEIR FORCE MAIN, THEY DID THE SOUTHERN PART OF MCMAHON.

SO THE SOUTHERN PART HAS BEEN RECENTLY REPAVED AND WE WILL BE REPAVING THE NORTHERN PARTS.

OKAY. MY QUESTION WAS BECAUSE IN THE MEMO IT SAID IT WAS ONLY GOING TO.

YES. ORIGINALLY THAT WAS THE LIMITS, BUT WE DID EXTEND IT ALL THE WAY TO CROCKER.

AND THEN WE INCLUDED BIG LONG.

AND ON, NOT TO DUANESBURG.

OR KNOW THE LIMITS WE HAD BEEN GIVEN WERE TO NORTH NORTH PORT.

NORTH PORT? YEAH.

THE ADA TRANSITION PLAN IS A STUDY TO DETERMINE ANY GAPS IN ADA COMPLIANCE, NOT ONLY IN THE CITY'S INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT ALSO IN CITY PROGRAMS. WE HAD PREPARED A SCOPE OF WORK.

WE WERE GETTING READY TO ADVERTISE FOR A CONSULTANT FOR THAT.

SO NOW IT'S A MATTER OF INCLUDING THE FEDERAL GUIDELINES SO THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT SELECTION AND CONTRACT, ALL OF THE FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS ARE IN PLACE.

STREET MAINTENANCE DESIGN FOR 2025 ALLOWS US TO BE A LITTLE BIT AHEAD OF THE CURVE AND BEGIN DESIGN THIS CALENDAR YEAR FOR WHAT WE HOPE TO BRING TO COUNCIL FOR NEXT CALENDAR YEAR FOR THE STREET MAINTENANCE PROGRAM, AND IT LEVERAGES THE STREET MAINTENANCE FUND.

IF WE CAN AGAIN, DO THE THE STREET DESIGN THIS CALENDAR YEAR.

MUNICIPAL FACILITIES FACE ONE FURNITURE, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT.

WE HAVE PROPOSED FURNITURE, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT THAT EXIGO HAD PROVIDED.

STAFF IS OR THE USER DEPARTMENTS ARE TAKING A LOOK AT AT THOSE PROPOSALS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE COMPLETE.

THEY CONTINUE TO BE APPROPRIATE FOR THE FUNCTIONS THAT THEY ARE PLANNING TO HOUSE IN MUNICIPAL FACILITIES.

WE BELIEVE THAT THERE MAY BE SOME BY BOARDS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THE TOWN.

WE WILL HAVE TO VERIFY THAT.

BUT AGAIN, THE PLAN IS WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S IN PLACE.

WE CAN USE ARPA FUNDS FOR THIS AND EXTEND OR LEVERAGE THE THE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION THAT THE TOWN HAS ISSUED.

I'M NOT SURE IF IT MADE IT ONTO THE RESOLUTION.

IT WAS CARNAZZO EXTENSION FROM CAN.

SO IT'S ALSO FROM WEAVER TO THE SOUTH PONDING AREA.

IF NOT, WE'LL WE'LL NEED TO BRING THAT BACK.

THERE MAY BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH A DEVELOPER ON THIS.

SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS IN THE PROGRAM OF WORK SO THAT WE COULD NEGOTIATE WITH THE DEVELOPER.

IF NOT, WE'LL WE'LL BRING IT BACK.

BUT AGAIN, THE GOAL IS TO HAVE A ROBUST PROGRAM OF WORK, ALLOW STAFF TO WORK ON THESE PROJECTS AND THEN BRING THEM TO YOU AS WE AS WE PROCURE THE SERVICES OR THE THE GOODS.
