          [6. Discussion and Action]
AGENDA. ITEM NUMBER SIX. THIS I& ON AN UPDATE ON THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. COUNCIL..& GOOD EVENING. TERRY. THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM MANAGER. WE'LL START OFF WITH MUNICIPAL FACILITIES. PHASE ONE. THE SITE WORK CONTINUES WITH CONCRETE CURBS AND ROAD PREPARATION. AS THOSE AREAS BECOME AVAILABLE TO& OUR CONTRACTOR. THE SEWER LINE WORK ALSO CONTINUES, AND CANOPY& AND SIDEWALKS AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE ARE SCHEDULED FOR INSTALLATION IN MID-JULY. MA'AM& COULD YOU MOVE THE MICROPHONE TOWARD YOU A LITTLE BIT THERE? THANK YOU. YES, MA'AM. YES. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WORK CONTINUES ON BOTH OF THE OF THE BUILDINGS, AND THE PROJECT IS CURRENTLY ON SCHEDULE. 
          HERE ARE SOME OF THE MOST RECENT IMAGES. BETTER? YES. SOME OF THE MOST RECENT IMAGES FROM THE CONSTRUCTION SITE. THESE WERE TAKEN JUST LAST WEEK. AND THIS IS THE DRONE ASPECT OF IT WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE PONDS AND THE BUILDING AS A WHOLE. AND THE ENTRANCE. WE'RE EVALUATING THE APPRAISAL OF THE PROPERTY FOR A NEW REGIONAL PARK, AND THAT'SS& WHERE WE ARE ON THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT. THEN AS WE MOVE TOO& FEDERALLY AND STATE FUNDED PROJECTS, I'M PROVIDING A LONGER DEFINITION OR DESCRIPTION OF NORTH DARRINGTON RECONSTRUCTION AT THE MAYOR'S REQUEST. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BACKGROUND. SO YOU'LL SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE BACKGROUND TODAY THAN THAN I USUALLY PROVIDE ON THE MONTHLY REPORTS. AND THIS IS JUST TOO& REMIND EVERYBODY WHO IS HERE OF& WHAT WAS DONE, AND ALSO TOO& PROVIDE AN UPDATE TO THOSE OF YOU WHO JOINED THE COUNCIL JUST RECENTLY, THE RATIONALE FOR THE PROJECT IS THAT DARRINGTON ROAD IS A MAJOR ARTERIAL AND WAS IDENTIFIED AS A KEY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORRIDOR FOR HORIZON CITY. AS SUCH, THE IMPROVEMENTS WERE THE TOP TRANSPORTATION PRIORITY FOR THE CITY FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS WHEN THE CITY WOULD GO TO THE METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION AND REQUEST FUNDING FOR A PROJECT..& THIS WAS JUST A CRITICAL CORRIDOR AND THE CONDITION THAT& THE ROADWAY WAS IN WARRANTED RECONSTRUCTION. THE CITY INVESTED ABOUT $2 MILLION OF ITS STREET MAINTENANCE FUNDS INTOO& THE PROJECT. AS WE WERE WAITING FOR THE DESIGN TO COMPLETE TO BE COMPLETED SIMPLY BECAUSE THE ROADWAY REQUIRED THAT KIND OF UPGRADE UNTIL WE COULD DO THE FULL RECONSTRUCTION. WE ALSOO& KNEW THE DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTSS& WERE NECESSARY. WE HAD DONE A PREVIOUS DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT ALONG DARRINGTON, BUT IT DID NOT TAKE ALL OF THE WATERS FROM THE EASTERN PART OF THE ROADWAY. SO WHAT YOU SEE AS FAR AS THE STORM DRAINAGE INSTALLATION AND THE POND THAT HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE IMPROVED, ALSO ADDRESS THE 
          [00:05:01]
DRAINAGE ISSUES THAT HAD NOT BEEN ADDRESSED WHEN THE ROADWAY WAS INITIALLY CONSTRUCTED. 
          DARRINGTON, WE RECOGNIZE, PROVIDED ACCESS TO THE TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT AREA, AND THAT WAS PART OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. SO AGAIN, THAT WAS A MAJOR ACCESS POINT T& OPEN UP THIS ENTIRE AREA THAT THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT DEVELOPING IN A DIFFERENT WAY. THE HORIZON AND DARRINGTON INTERSECTION WERE EVALUATED AS PART OF TXDOT'S FEASIBILITY STUDY AND CORRIDOR ANALYSIS FOR HORIZON BOULEVARD AS A WHOLE. SO WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY CAME UP FOR DARRINGTON TO BE ONE OF THE PROJECTS THAT WAS FUNDED WITH FEDERAL FUNDS, WHAT TEX-DOT PROPOSED IS TO CARVE OUT THE INTERSECTION ITSELF AND MAKE THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT THEY HAD IDENTIFIED IN THAT CORRIDOR STUDY. NOW, JUST AS SOME BACKGROUND, SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT THEY WERE CONSIDERING WERE OVERPASSES. SO THAT HORIZON WOULD BE OVERPASS OVER DARRINGTON. THEY LOOKED AT DIFFERENT INTERSECTION CONFIGURATIONS, BUT THE TOWN PUSHED BACK ON THAT, LETTING THEM KNOW THAT ANYTHING THEY DID WOULD SEVERELY AFFECT THE FOURR& QUADRANTS OF THE INTERSECTION. SO WHAT YOU SEE IN IN THE CROSS-SECTIONS IS WHAT WE ULTIMATELY WERE ABLE TO, TOO& AGREE UPON THAT WOULD IMPROVE THE FLOW AND THE FUNCTION OF THE INTERSECTION, BECAUSE TEX-DOT RECOGNIZED THAT IT WAS NOT FUNCTIONING EFFECTIVELY, WHILE ALSO MAINTAINING ACCESS TO THOSE PROPERTIES IN THE FOURR& QUADRANTS, NOT LEAST OF WHICH IS CITY HALL ITSELF. SO HERE'S SOM& OF THE PROJECT SCOPE. IT'S A FULL RECONSTRUCTION OF THE ROADWAY. THERE IS NO WIDENING O& THE ROADWAY. ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE WERE ABLE TO SECURE FEDERAL FUNDING IS BECAUSE WE WERE NOT ADDING CAPACITY. WE WERE NOT ADDING ANY MORE LANES. 
          THE STORM AND STORM SEWER INSTALLATION AND THE POND ARE ALSO PART OF THE SCOPE, AS ARE LANDSCAPING AND CONTINUOUS LIGHTING ON THE PARKWAY. A WALKING PATH IS ALSO PROPOSED O& THE NORTHBOUND SIDE, AND THAT CONNECTS THE SHARED USE PATHH& THAT WE HAVE ON HORIZON TO THE SHARED USE PATH ON EAST LAKE. SO AGAIN, IT PROVIDES THAT CONNECTIVITY FOR A DIFFERENT KIND OF USER OF OUR ROADWAYS, RIGHT? PEDESTRIANS AND CYCLISTS. THERE'S MINIMAL LANDSCAPING ONN& THE MEDIAN BECAUSE TEXAS GAS SERVICE HAS ONE OF THEIR MAJOR FACILITIES THAT RUNS ALONG THE MEDIAN. THEY ARE VERY, VERY PROTECTIVE OF IT, AS THEY SHOUL& BE. IT'S A HIGH PRESSURE LINE. 
          AND SO THEY DON'T WANT ANY ANY LANDSCAPING ALONG THE MEDIAN. S& YOU WON'T SEE A WHOLE LOT OF IMPROVEMENTS THERE. BUT IT'S BECAUSE OF THE INSTALLATION OF THAT OF THAT LINE. THIS IS THE CROSS SECTION. WE DON'T HAVE SPECIFIC RENDERINGS FOR DARRINGTON ITSELF. YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE ARE TWO LANES IN EACH DIRECTION. AND ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN YOU SEE THE SHARED USE PATH FROM AGAIN FROM EASTLAKE TO HORIZON BOULEVARD AND THE LIGHTING. YOU WILL ALSO NOTICE THAT THE LIGHTING THAT'S BEING PROPOSED IS NOT THE STANDARD TEXTILE LIGHTING. WE WANTED SOMETHING THAT AGAIN, FIT IN WITH THE MORE RESIDENTIAL PART OF DARRINGTON THAT IS NORTH OF HORIZON BOULEVARD. THE CONSTRUCTION COSTS ARE NOT YET FINALIZED BECAUSE WE'RE STILL IN CONSTRUCTION AND WE CONTINUE TO& HAVE CHANGE ORDERS FOR A NUMBER& OF REASONS. THE FEDERAL FUNDS THAT WERE PROGRAMED THROUGH THE METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION WERE $17.5 MILLION. 
          THE BID AMOUNT WAS APPROXIMATELY $21.4 MILLION, AND AT THAT TIME, THE WE BROUGHT THE BID AMOUNT T& CITY COUNCIL, AND WE AGREED THAT THE PRICES WERE NOT GOING TO GET ANY BETTER. SO NOT DOING THE PROJECT DID NOT SEEM LIKE THE MOST PRUDENT WAY TO PROCEED, SIMPLY BECAUSE THIS WASN'T GOING TO GET ANY CHEAPER. THERE WASN'T A WHOLE LOT THAT WE COULD DO TO& REDUCE THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT. 
          USUALLY THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE LOOK AT FIRST. IF OUR BID EXCEEDS WHAT WE HAVE IN PLACE, THERE WASN'T A WHOLE LOT TO DO BECAUSE WE WEREN'T WIDENING THE ROADWAY. WE KNEW THAT WE NEEDED THE DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS. SO THERE WEREN'T A LOT OF BIG TICKET ITEMS THAT COULD BE ELIMINATED EASILY AND STILL GIV& YOU A FUNCTIONAL PROJECT. SO THE CITY MOVED FORWARD. THE AGREEMENT THAT IS IN PLACE BETWEEN THE CITY AND TXDOT INDICATES THAT THE CITY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR 100% OF ANY COST OVERRUNS OVER WHAT IS PROGRAMED AT THE MPO. THAT IS STANDARD 
          [00:10:03]
LANGUAGE ON ALL ADVANCED FUNDING AGREEMENTS BETWEEN LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND THE STATE. SO THAT'S NOT ANYTHING THAT IS DIFFERENT IN THIS INSTANCE. IT'& JUST THAT IN THIS CASE, CERTAINLY THE GAP IS MUCH BIGGER BECAUSE THE PROJECT IS MUCH BIGGER THAN, THAN ANY OF THEE& OTHER PROJECTS WE'VE HAD. SOO& WHAT WE'RE STILL PENDING ARE THE CHANGE ORDERS. AND AGAIN, THOSE WILL CONTINUE TO COME IN AS AS THE PROJECT DEVELOPS. THERE IS NO PERFECT SET OF PLANS. SO WE'RE GOING TO KEEP ENCOUNTERING CONDITIONS THAT WERE UNFORESEEABLE. AND SO WE'LL WE'LL KEEP PLUGGING ALONG AND MANAGE THOSE COSTS AS BEST AS WE CAN WITH WITH TXDOT. ALSO DUE T& THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT THAT'SS& IN PLACE WITH TEXAS GAS SERVICE, THE CITY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR RELOCATION COSTS, AND THOSE ARE CONTINUING TO TRICKLE IN BECAUSE ALTHOUGH WE THOUGHT THAT EVERYTHING HAD BEEN RELOCATED, THE CONTRACTOR IS CONTINUING TO FIND LINES THAT WERE NOT IDENTIFIED ON THE PLANS. SO THERE ARE ADDITIONAL FACILITIES THAT TEXAS GAS SERVICE WILL HAVE TO RELOCATE. SO THOSE ARE PENDING COSTS THAT& WILL HAVE TO BE ADDED TO THAT GAP. BUT WE'VE I'VE CALLED THE FUNDING GAP THAT WE HAVE, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TOO& FUND WITH THE STATE INFRASTRUCTURE BANK. QUESTION. YES, SIR. THE TEXAS GAS NOW THEIR THEIR LINES ARE SOME OF THEM ARE AREN'T IN USE. THAT'S RIGHT. SOME OF THEM ARE ABANDONED. BUT SOME OF THE ONES THAT THEY HAVE FOUND, SIR, ARE STILL IN USE AND THEY'RE HAVING TO RELOCATE THEM. WOW. I'M THINKING IF THEY'RE NOT IN USE,& WE COULD DO THEM A FAVOR AND GET THEM OUT OF THE WAY, YOU KNOW? OKAY. WOW. SO EXPLANATION ON THAT HOMESTEAD AND DARRINGTON. 
          THERE WAS RECENTLY A GAS LEAK. THEY THEY HIT A LINE THERE THAT& THEY DIDN'T KNOW WAS THERE. 
          ACTUALLY, THEY THOUGHT IT WAS AN ABANDONED LINE. AND SURE ENOUGH, SO THEY HAD TO ACTUALLY CLOSE THAT DOWN FOR, I THINK, ALMOST 24 HOURS. WOW. SO THAT WAY THEY COULD DIG IT UP. IT WAS RIGHT O& THE INTERSECTION OF HOMESTEAD AND DARRINGTON, RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF. COLONEL MISTER GARCIA'S. YEAH, JERRY. I MEAN, WOW, JUST ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO, TWO WEEKS AGO. SO THEY THEY CONTINUE TO FIND ACTIVE LIFE. THEY DIDN'T MAPPING. YEAH. OH, MAN. NICE. WELL, WE THOUGHT THE& WERE MAPPED, SO THEY WERE MAPPED ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION THAT WAS AVAILABLE. BUT AGAIN, AS A CONTRACTOR IS GOING INN& THERE FINDING THEM AND THEY'RE DOING SOME POTHOLING AS PART OF THEIR DUE DILIGENCE, BUT IT'S STILL IT'S STILL AN ACTIVE PROJECT. BUT NOW WE KNOW IT'S THERE. YEAH. SO NOW WE ARE DOING TEXAS GAS SERVICE A FAVOR AND IDENTIFYING WHERE THOSE LINES ARE. SO THAT GAP THAT WE HAVE BETWEEN WHAT WAS PROGRAMED ATT& THE MPO AND THE ULTIMATE COST OF THE PROJECT IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO FUND WITH THE STATE INFRASTRUCTURE, BANK LOAN. STATE INFRASTRUCTURE BANKS ARE MANAGED BY THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. THEY ARE DESCRIBED AS A PATIENT LENDER BECAUSE THEY ARE THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE LENDING TOO& MUNICIPALITIES MANY TIMES THE FUNDING THAT THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS PLEDGE TO THE LOAN ARE TRANSPORTATION REINVESTMENT ZONE REVENUES, TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE REVENUES, DIFFERENT KINDS OF REVENUES. AND JUST ABOUT EVERY INSTANCE THEY'RE BACKSTOPPED BY GENERAL TAXES. THE TAXING AUTHORITY OF A LOCAL GOVERNMENT. BUT IT HELPS LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ACCESS CAPITAL IN WAYS THAT ARE A LITTLE BIT FASTER. AND AGAIN, FROM A PATIENT LENDER, RATHER THAN ISSUING CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION OR BONDS. SO AGAIN, WE'RE WE'RE LOOKING AT AN APPLICATION TO THE CIB. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THEY HAVE 2 TO& $300 MILLION WORTH OF CAPITAL T& LEND. SO WHAT THE CITY WOULD BE REQUESTING WOULD NOT BE SOMETHING THAT THEY COULD NOT FUND. THEY'RE USED TO DOING THIS. AND THAT'S THAT'S HOW WE'RE PLANNING TO PROCEED. WE'RE LOOKING AT HAVING THE CAMINO REAL REGIONAL MOBILITY AUTHORITY, WHO HAS A VERY STRONG, ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CIB, MANAGE THE APPLICATION PROCESS. WE WILL BRING THAT INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT TO YOU ONCE IT'S READY. WE EXPECT THAT WILL BE READY HEREE& IN THE NEXT 1 OR 2 MONTHS SO THAT THE COUNCIL CAN TAKE A LOO& AT IT AND THEY CAN PREPARE ALL OF THE APPLICATION DOCUMENTS THAT ARE REQUIRED TO GET THAT LOAN PROCESSED THROUGH THE CIB. 
          THESE ARE SOME OF THE RENDERINGS THAT WE HAVE, BUT THEY FOCUS PRIMARILY ON THE INTERSECTION. 
          [00:15:02]
AND YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THERE ARE THERE IS A WIDENING AT THE INTERSECTION TO ALLOW FOR MORE LEFT TURN LANES, WHICH ARE SOME& OF THE HEAVIEST MOVEMENTS AT THE INTERSECTION HERE. YOU SEE. LET ME SEE IT. THIS IS HORIZON BOULEVARD LOOKING WEST. AND YOU SEE THE INCREASE IN THE NUMBERR& OF LANES AT THE INTERSECTION, TWO LEFT TURN LANES ONTO SOUTH DARRINGTON AND A RIGHT TURN LANE ONTO NORTH DARRINGTON. AND AGAIN HERE YOU SEE A GREATER FOCUS ON& THOSE TWO LEFT TURN LANES FROM THE SAME PERSPECTIVE. THIS IS ON DARRINGTON TO SOUTH OF THE INTERSECTION AGAIN, TWO LEFT TURN LANES HEADED WEST ON HORIZON BOULEVARD, AND THEN A STRAIGHT AND RIGHT TURN LANE ONTO HORIZON EAST. AND AGAIN, THERE'S A CLOSE UP OF THE TWO LEFT TURN LANES. THE CITY HAD T& GET AN ADDITIONAL EASEMENT, AND AUTHORITY FROM TEXAS GAS SERVICE, BECAUSE THE ADDITIONAL& LEFT TURN LANE IS ON THEIR INSTALLATION. SO WE NEEDED TOO& MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD APPROVALL& TO BE ON THEIR ON THEIRR& EASEMENT. THIS IS IN FRONT OFF& THE SPEEDWAY. AND THIS IS A GREATER FOCUS ON THE SHARED USE PATH AND THE PONDS THAT WILL BE COLLECTING SOME OF THE WATER FROM FROM HORIZON BOULEVARD. AND AS FAR AS THE PROJECT STATUS ON NORTH DARRINGTON, THE CONTRACTO& IS WORKING ON THE SHARED USE PATH ALONG NORTH DARRINGTON AND SPEEDWAY DRIVEWAY IMPROVEMENTS. 
          AND THEY'RE ALSO WORKING ON THE ILLUMINATION POLE FOUNDATIONS. FOR THE HORIZON PORTION OF THE PROJECT. THEY'RE STILL WORKING ON PHASE THREE, AND THEY'RE WORKING ON RIPRAP ON SOME OF THE PONDS. RODMAN SHARED USE PATH. LAST WEEK WE HAD A MEETING WITH TXDOT FOR COORDINATION. AS FAR AS, AS AS WE GET INTO THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE, AND WE'RE SCHEDULING THE NOTICE TO PROCEED TO THE CONTRACTOR WHO IS HOT CONSTRUCTION, WE EXPECT THATT& WILL BE ISSUED IN THE NEXT 15 TO 30 DAYS. THIS PROJECT IS BEING MANAGED FOR THE CITY BY THE CAMINO REAL REGIONAL MOBILITY AUTHORITY. AND JUST AS AS A NOTE, ONE OF THE REASONS THAT THE CITY HAS GONE TO THE CAMINO REAL REGIONAL MOBILITY AUTHORITY, THE HMA, IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALL OF THEIR PROCUREMENT METHODOLOGIES APPROVED FOR FEDERAL FUNDING. WHEN THE CITY ENTERS INTO AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THEM, WHICH WE ARE AUTHORIZED TO DO, IT SHAVES OFF ADMINISTRATIVE TIME AS FAR AS PUTTING OUT PROCUREMENT FOR DESIGN PROFESSIONALS AND PROCUREMENT ALSO FOR CONSTRUCTION, WHICH WE WOULD HAVE TO DO OURSELVES AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE COMPLYING WITH FEDERAL GUIDELINES. USING THE RMA PLACES THAT BURDEN ON THEM. THEY ARE ABLE TO COMPLY WITH ALL THE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. AND AGAIN, IT ALSO REDUCES SOME OF THE TIME. AND THUS FAR WE'VE HAD A REALLY PRODUCTIVE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE& HMA. ON TEARS. AND TODD DESIGN HAS BEGUN FOR DILLEY TO LAKE AND TRANSIT PLAZA. THE DESIGN BUDGET FOR THOSE THREE PHASES OR THOSE THREE ASPECTS OF THE PROJECT IS A HUD GRANT THAT'S ABOUT $1.77& MILLION. WE'RE COORDINATING WITH STAKEHOLDERS, AND WE HAVE TWO PRIMARY STAKEHOLDERS FROM FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, AND THAT'S THE HORIZON REGIONAL MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT, BECAUSE THE PROJECT INCLUDES THE DESIGN OF WATER AND WASTEWATER LINES ALONG DILLEY AND LAKE AND THE EL PASO TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY, WHO A& A TRANSIT OPERATOR, WOULD BE THE MAIN USER FOR THE TRANSIT PLAZA RIGHT THERE. IT WOULD BE THEIR DRIVERS WHO WOULD BE USING THE FACILITIES FOR THE DRIVERS, AND CERTAINLY THE TRANSIT USERS WHO WOULD BE USING THE TRANSIT FACILITY TO USE THE TRANSIT AND USE THE BUSSES TO GO TO THEIR DESTINATION AND COUNCIL, SUBJECT TO YOUR QUESTIONS. THAT'S MY REPORT FOR TODAY. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? YES, THE. DARRINGTON. PROJECT YOU MENTIONED THAT WE WOULD BE APPLYING FOR A LOAN FROM THE STATE. IS THAT CORRECT? YES,,& SIR. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS& IS NORMAL PROCEDURE FOR US OR FOR OUR MUNICIPALITY TO GET THE FIRST TIME. IT'LL BE THE FIRST TIME HORIZON DOES THAT KIND OF APPLICATION. BUT THE LOAN IS DESIGNED TO FUND PROJECTS FOR LOCAL ENTITIES. OKAY. WHAT ARE THE TERMS FOR THESE LOANS? THE 
          [00:20:07]
TERMS ARE NEGOTIATED AS THE LOANS ARE AS THE LOAN APPLICATIONS ARE DEVELOPED, USUALLY THEIR INTEREST RATE IS AT OR BELOW MARKET. WHAT YOU WOULD FIND FOR BONDS. AND AGAIN THE THEIR MISSION IS TO PROVIDE FUNDING FOR TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS. RIGHT. SO THEY'RE THEY'RE TRYING TO BE MORE ACCESSIBLE SOURCE OF CAPITAL RATHER THAN GOING OUT INTO THE BOND MARKET. SO WE WOULD EXPECT FAVORABLE INTEREST RATES A 30 YEAR TERM UNLESS THE CITY WANTED TO, TO NEGOTIATE SOMETHING SHORTER THAN THAT, UP TO 30, UP TO 30 YEARS. YES. I UNDERSTANDD& THAT THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES, FOR EXAMPLE, TO PAY INTEREST FOR THE FIRST FEW YEARS AS OPPOSED TO PAYING BOTH PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST AS AS AN AREA IS DEVELOPED. SO I THINK WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO NEGOTIATE FAVORABLE TERMS FOR THE TERM I SEE. OKAY. THANK YOU. YES, SIR. 
          QUESTIONS? DOCTOR QUESADA, ASS& FAR AS HAVE WE EVER ASKED TXDOT? I KNOW WITH THE CONSTRUCTIONN& HERE ON DARRINGTON AND HORIZON,& I WAS LOOKING AT THE TURN LANES WE HAVE. WE'RE NOW IN GET TWO TURN LANES FOR LEFT HAND TURNS. DO THEY ACTUALLY SINK TRAFFIC LIGHTS WITH LIKE, LET'S SAY, WITH PAULING? THE REASON I'M STATING IS BECAUSE ANYTIME YOU HAVE, LET'S SAY THAT ONE DRIVER THAT CATCHES A YELLOW LIGHT, THEY'RE CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF& THE INTERSECTION, AND ONLY BECAUSE MAYBE THE TURN GOING INTO GOING EASTBOUND ON DARRINGTON, THE LIGHT OVER AT PAULING IS RED. AND NOW YOU GET THE BACKUP. HAVE WE ASKED TEX-DOT OR DO WE KNOW IF THEY SINK THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS? WE DO NOT HAVE A SYNCHRONIZATION PROJECT IN PLACE WITH WITH THOSE TRAFFIC SIGNALS. USUALLY IT'S A CORRIDOR THAT IS SYNCHRONIZED AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE SO THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE THAT SYNCHRONIZATION. AND AT THIS POINT, IT WAS IT WAS NOT PART OF THE PROJECT. I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE CITYY& WOULD HAVE TO EVALUATE AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND AS WE SEE HOW THAT THAT INTERSECTION IS OPERATING, TO SEE IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE CITY WOULD WANT TO DO ALONG DARRINGTON. YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. DOCTOR. 
          SORRY. ARE YOU ASKING FOR WHEN THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED OR FOR CURRENT CONDITIONS RIGHT NOW? I KNOW CURRENT CONDITIONS RIGHT NOW. MAYOR, ARE. IT'S NOT AS BAD, BUT ONCE THE ACTUAL TRAFFIC LIGHTS ACTUALLY DO GO UP, IF WE CAN GET WITH TXDOT TO SEE IF SOMETHING LIKE THAT CAN BE ARRANGED. YES. THIS WAY WE DON'T HAVE A ANYONE'S IN THE IN THE I& THE INTERSECTION. YES, SIR. SO I KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW THE CURRENT CONDITIONS THAT'S BEEN A CONCERN OF FOR A LOT OF FOLKS BECAUSE THAT THAT LEFT TURN COMING EAST& ON HORIZON BOULEVARD EAST AND THERE THERE IS TRAFFIC THAT GETS STOPPED FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN THAT LIGHT TURNS ON. RIGHT. SO AND WE'VE ASKED MULTIPLE TIMES TO SEE IF TECH STOCK COULD, COULD LOOK AT THE TIMING FOR PULLING. BUT AGAIN THAT'S CURRENT CONDITIONS ONLY YOU KNOW. SO I'M HOPING ONCE THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED THEN WE CAN KIND OF GET WITH THEM AND FIGURE OUT AT THAT POINT WHAT TO DO,,& WHAT'S BEST USE FOR US. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. THANK YOU. MISS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? YES, SIR. I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION. SO WE'RE MOVINGG& ALL THE CURRENT RELOCATION. WHAT'S THAT CURRENT NUMBER FOR RELOCATION COST THAT THE CITYY& HAS BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR. THE LAST ESTIMATE THAT WE RECEIVED FROM TEXAS GAS SERVICE WAS $300,000. AND INITIALLY THEY ESTIMATED ONLY $60,000. SO WE'VE ASKED FOR JUSTIFICATION ON THE INCREASE. BUT AS I SAID, THERE'S MORE LOCATIONS THAT ARE BEING IDENTIFIED AS THE PROJECT IS ONGOING. SO I WOULD EXPECT THAT 300,000 IS THE FLOOR AT THISS& POINT AS OPPOSED TO THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT. AND DID THEY PROVIDE ANY REASONING WHY THE DISCREPANCY IS SO LARGE? IT'S JUST WE HAVE ADDITIONAL LINES THAT REQUIRE RELOCATION. THEY HAVE NOT YET..& THEY HAVE NOT YET. BUT AS WE'RE FINDING OUT, THEY HAVE MORE FACILITIES THAN THEY HAD IDENTIFIED INITIALLY WHEN THE UTILITY INVESTIGATIONS WERE ONGOING. THANK YOU. YES, SIR. 
          I'D LIKE TO PIGGYBACK ON THAT QUESTION FOR THE LINES. THE GAS LINES. DOES THE FRANCHISE IDENTIFY THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR. THOSE LINES? MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO GAPS SOMEWHERE. OKAY. I'D HAVE TO CHECK THE ORDINANCE, SIR. I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFIED. I WAS WONDERING IF THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT. RIGHT. THE ONLY REASON I'M ASKING THAT IS BECAUSE IF IT'S THE GAS LINE, THE GAS COMPANY, THAT. DIDN'T MARK IT DOWN LIKE THEY SHOULDD& 
          [00:25:07]
HAVE, I DON'T SEE WHY HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO TELL US. OKAY, SO. SO GOING BACK WITH MY EXPERIENCE IN THIS, IT IT KIND OF DEPENDS. THERE'S A LOT OF FACTORS AT PLAY. DID THE CONTRACTOR DO THEIR DUE DILIGENCE AND TOO& POTHOLE. YOU KNOW AND I'M NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT THAT ONE INSTANCE ON HOMESTEAD. DID YOU KNOW ANY ANY UTILITY THAT'S THAT'S PRESENT. DID THE CONTRACTOR GO OUT THERE AND POTHOLE AND LOCATE THAT LINE. DID THEY VERIFY WITH TEXAS GAS THAT DID THE SUBCONTRACTOR THAT INSTALLED THAT LINE FOR, LET'S SAY, TEXAS GAS IN THIS CASE? DID THEY DO THEIR PART CORRECTLY? S& THERE'S A LOT THAT HAS TO GO INTO THIS TO FIND OUT WHO'S RESPONSIBLE AND WHO'S AT FAULT FOR THAT. SO IN THIS CASE, THE $300,000 WE NEED TO DOCTOR CASADA IS GOING TO FIND OUT WHETHER OR NOT. WELL, SHE HAS SHE HAS TO GO BACK AND GET THAT JUSTIFICATION FROM THEM TO FIND OUT WHERE THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT IS& COMING FROM. IS THAT COMING FROM THE SUBCONTRACTOR? IS THAT COMING FROM TEXAS GAS OR WHO'S THAT COMING FROM? SO THAT'S KIN& OF WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW. THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT IS PRETTY CLEAR THAT THE CITY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR RELOCATION COSTS, FOR RELOCATION, RELOCATION, BUT NOT HITS IN THAT CASE. RIGHT, BECAUSE THE HITS ARE TO TURN OUT TO BE A VERY SERIOUS. THEY CAN BE. YES. OF COURSE. YEAH. OKAY. THANK YOU..& ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROMM& COUNCIL? NO. DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CIP UPDATE? MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND. I'LL SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. COULD YOU PLEASE PULL THE COUNCIL? ORTEGA. ORTEGA. AYE. AVILA. AIMS. MENDOZA. AYE. 
          MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU. ITEM ITEM NUMBER SEVEN. DISCUSSION AND ACTION. THIS IS REGARDING A 
          [7. Discussion and Action]
RESOLUTION MAKING FINDINGS REQUIRED BY ORDINANCE NUMBER 00251. EPIC FRANCHISE TO REQUIRE EPIC TO RELOCATE THE AN UNDERGROUND ELECTRIC LINE AND OTHER AND OTHER UTILITY FACILITIES AT THE EXPENSE ATT& THEIR EXPENSE TO ACCOMMODATE THE NORTH ARRINGTON ROAD RELOCATION PROJECT. THAT ONE AGAIN. OKAY. COUNCIL. GOOD EVENING, TERRY CASADA, CITY MANAGER. THIS ISS& OUR EFFORT TO MANAGE SOME OF THE UTILITY RELOCATION COSTS ON NORTH DARRINGTON RECONSTRUCTION. 
          THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT WITH EL PASO ELECTRIC CALLS FOR DIFFERENT KINDS OF REQUIREMENTS. 
          AND ONE OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS IS THAT THE COUNCIL FIND THAT THE RELOCATION OF THE UTILITIES FACILITIES IS REQUIRED DUE TO A PUBLIC PROJECT, SUCH AS NORTH DARRINGTON RECONSTRUCTION, AND IN THAT CASE, THEN THE EL PASO ELECTRIC COMPANY IS REQUIRED TO& RELOCATE AT THEIR COST. WE HAVE IDENTIFIED FACILITIES IN NORTH DARRINGTON CLOSER TO EASTLAKE THAT ARE IN CONFLICT. THE DESIG& HAS BEEN COMPLETED BY EL PASO ELECTRIC. BUT THEY SAID, WELL, WE NEED WE NEED YOUR COUNCIL TO& TAKE THIS ACTION. SO WE'RE BRINGING THIS RESOLUTION TO YOU. IT'S IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR APPROVED FRANCHISE AGREEMENT. THIS SAVES THE PROJECT ABOUT $110,000, BECAUSE THAT'S THE ESTIMATED COST THAT EL PASO ELECTRIC HAS IDENTIFIED TOO& RELOCATE THEIR FACILITIES. AND IT WILL BE DONE AT THEIR COST. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL. AND IF I IF I MIGHT, THE WHAT YOU'RE FINDING IS THAT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET REIMBURSED FROM ANYBODY ELSE BECAUSE THAT'S THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT WITH EL PASO ELECTRIC SAYS THEY'LL BEAR THE COST IF IT'S A CITY PROJECT NUMBER ONE. AND NUMBER TWO, IF THERE'S NO WE HAVE TRIED AND THERE'S NO WAY TO GET REIMBURSEMENT. SO IN THE RESOLUTION, YOU'LL SEE WE TALK ABOUT THE ADVANCE FUNDING AGREEMENT THAT SAYS TEXDOT HAS MADE US RESPONSIBLE FOR RELOCATION COSTS. THERE'S NO GRANTS. THERE'S NOTHING THAT WE CAN GET. SO THAT'S IT'S A FORMALITY THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY MAKING US GO THROUGH. IT'S FOR THEIR PROTECTION AS WELL. BUTT& IT'S THE WE'RE IN GOOD SHAPE. 
          OKAY. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL. SO I GUESS WHY WOULD THE FRANCHISE BE DIFFERENT FOR THE GAS AND ELECTRIC. WHY DO WE NOT HAVE AT THE AT THE TIME THEY WERE WHENEVER THEY WERE NEGOTIATED. AND WHO WAS HERE AT THE TIME. YEAH, I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME PROJECT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. THE SAME PROJECT. YEAH. NO, THE FRANCHISE BUT TWO FRANCHISE, TWO FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS. SO ONE UTILITY THAT'S MAKING US PAY FOR IT. AND THEN THE OTHER ONE IS SAYING WE'RE HAVING THEM. RIGHT. SO THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT IS THE AGREEMENT THAT BY WHICH THE 
          [00:30:02]
UTILITY OPERATES WITHIN YOUR CITY LIMITS. RIGHT. SO THOSE ARE NEGOTIATED. AND I DON'T KNOW HOW I DON'T REMEMBER HOW OLD THESE ARE, BUT THEY WERE NEGOTIATED AT DIFFERENT TIMES, DIFFERENT UTILITY THINGS, DIFFERENT CLIMATES. AND SO IT'S NOT UNCOMMON TO SEE THEM. OBVIOUSLY WE WOULD PREFER THE ONE LIKE WE HAVE WITH EL PASO ELECTRIC. THE MORE WE HAVE THE GAS SERVICE. 
          BUT THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS. SO YOU'LL SEE THAT FROM TIME TO& TIME ON THE SAME PROJECT, WHEN UTILITY IS GETTING TREATED DIFFERENTLY THAN THE OTHER, AND IS THE GAS MORE NEGOTIABLE? WELL, IN A WHILE NOT IT HASN'T BEEN FOR I DON'T KNOW WHEN THEE& LAST TIME THAT WAS AN ISSUE. 
          WE'LL HAVE TO PULL IT UP. I DON'T REMEMBER, BUT I THINK THAT THERE'S STILL SEVERAL YEARS LEF& ON THAT AGREEMENT. I JUST DON'T REMEMBER HOW LONG, BUT WE CAN MAKE THAT INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO THE COUNCIL. I DON'T WANT TO BEAT A DEAD HORSE, BUT IF THERE'S A WAY THAT WE CAN GET THEM TO PAY US FOR THEIR LINES, THAT'D BE MY IDEA. OF COURSE. YES, YES. YEAH. FAT CHANCE OF THAT. YES, SIR. WE SHOULD BEATT& THAT DEAD HORSE TOGETHER. SO, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? MOTION TO APPROVE? WEE& HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. ISS& THERE A SECOND? SECOND? THERE IS A SECOND. COULD YOU PLEASE PULL THE COUNCIL? ORTEGA. ORTEGA. HI. AVILA AIMS. HI, GARDEL. HI, MENDOZA. AYE. MOTION CARRIES. OKAY. ITEM NUMBER EIGHT. DISCUSSION AND ACTION. THIS IS 
          [8. Discussion and Action]
REGARDING A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THAT THE MAYOR BE AUTHORIZED TO APPROVE, IN CONSULTATION WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY AND THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, MINOR AMENDMENTS TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT. I DOCUMENT B1012007 BETWEEN THE TOWN OF HORIZON CITY AND XSIGO ARCHITECTURE, LLC, DATED FEBRUARY 18TH, 2020, PROVIDED EACH SUCH AMENDMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF $10,000 AND THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF SUCH AMENDMENTS SHALL NOT EXCEED $50,000. COUNSEL, LET ME PROVIDE SOME BACKGROUND. SORRY. TERRY QUEZADA, CITY MANAGER. AGAIN,,& LET ME PROVIDE SOME BACKGROUND ON ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM. YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THIS IS AN AA FORM. THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT IS& AN AA FORM THAT WAS REQUIRED BY FEDERAL GUIDELINES WHEN WE WERE DEVELOPING THE DESIGN FOR MUNICIPAL FACILITIES, BECAUSE A& THE TIME, WE THOUGHT THAT WE WERE GOING TO SECURE A FEDERAL LOAN. THAT IDEA WAS WAS NOT PURSUED. AND THE CITY FUNDED THIS WITH ITS CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION. HOWEVER, THE AGREEMENT WAS ALREADY IN PLACE.& SO THIS IS A DIFFERENT FORMAT THAN THE AGREEMENTS THAT THE CITY USUALLY DEVELOPS AND THATT& OUR CONSULTANTS USUALLY APPROVE AND ENTER INTO FOR DESIGN SERVICES. BECAUSE THIS IS A DIFFERENT FORMAT, THERE IS NO PROVISION THAT THE MAYOR BE AUTHORIZED TO EXECUTE ANY MINOR AMENDMENTS THAT ARE NECESSARY T& CARRY OUT THE INTENT OF THE PROJECT. WHILE WE ARE GETTING CLOSE TO FINISHING THE PROJECT, THERE IS AT LEAST ONE AMENDMENT THAT WE KNOW WILL BE NECESSARY, AND THAT'S FOR THE ROOF MOUNTED ANTENNA ON ON THE FACILITY. AND SO RATHER THAN BRINGING ANY OF THESE AMENDMENTS EACH TIME AND POTENTIALLY DELAYING THE PROJECT, WE'RE ASKING THAT YOU AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO LOOK AT THAT IN CONSULTATION WITH OUR CITY ATTORNEY AND WITH THE FINANCE DIRECTOR. AND IF THEY'RE LESS THAN $10,000, THEN THE MAYOR CAN EXECUTE THEM AND THE PROJECT CONTINUES ITS PROGRESS. BUT THERE'S STILL A CAP ON TOP OF THAT. THE AMENDMENTS CANNOTT& BE MORE THAN THAN $50,000. SO WE BELIEVE THAT WE'VE WE'VE SET SOME PARAMETERS SO THAT THE COUNCIL CAN FEEL COMFORTABLE, THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THATT& THE PROJECT IS MOVING ALONG AND THAT THE MAYOR HAS THE NECESSARY AUTHORITY TO DO THAT. BUT BY THE SAME TOKEN, IT'S NOT HUGE AMENDMENTS THAT ARE COMING FORWARD. AND AGAIN, WE'RE NOT ANTICIPATING ANY SIGNIFICANT AMENDMENTS. WE KNOW OF ONE THAT& IS COMING FORWARD. AND AGAIN, THAT'S WHY WE'RE BRINGING THIS THIS RESOLUTION AND AMENDMENT T& THE COUNCIL FOR YOUR APPROVAL. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL. THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL DOCTOR. SO THIS IS MORE OF A PROACTIVE MEASURE, RIGHT. JUST TO GET AHEAD AND ALLOW THE PROJECT TO KEEP MOVING FORWARD. YES, SIR. YES, SIR. 
          USUALLY IN IN THE CONTRACTS, THE AGREEMENTS THAT THE CITY ATTORNEY DRAFTS, THERE'S ALREADY A PROVISION IN THERE THAT THE MAYOR CAN EXECUTE THESE TYPES OF AMENDMENTS. AGAIN, BECAUSE THIS& WAS A DIFFERENT FORMAT TO BEGIN WITH. THAT LANGUAGE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT. HOWEVER, THERE IS ONE FOR THE ANTENNA. YES. THAT WILL THAT WILL HAVE TO BE EXECUTED. YES. PLAYING DEVIL'S ADVOCATE, WHAT HAPPENS IF WE GET TO THE $50,000 LIMIT? WE HAVE TO COME BACK, COME BACK, COME BACK TO COUNCIL. YES, SIR. SOMEE& UNDETECTED GAS LINES. YES, SIR. SORRY.

REGARDING A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN A NEW INTERLOCAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT WITH TEXAS TRANSPORTATION INSTITUTE TOO& REPLACE THE ONE SIGNED ON SEPTEMBER 10TH, 2024, FOR THE PURPOSE OF ALLOWING THE USE OF TASK FORCE OR ORDERS. TASK ORDERS, I'M SORRY. AND TO EXTEND THE TERM TO JUNE 14TH, 2029. COUNCIL. GOOD EVENING. TERRY QUEZADA, CITY MANAGER, ONE MORE TIME. THIS AUTHORIZATION ALLOWS US TO REVISE THE AGREEMENT THAT WAS APPROVED BY COUNCIL BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF 2024 WITH THE TEXAS TRANSPORTATION INSTITUTE, THE TEXAS TRANSPORTATION INSTITUTE HANDLES RATHER SPECIFIC TYPES OF STUDIES THAT ARE TRANSPORTATION RELATED. FOR EXAMPLE, THEY WERE THE ONES WHO DID THE TRANSPORTATION REINVESTMENT ZONE ANALYSIS. SO THEY DO VALUE CAPTURE ANALYSIS FOR MUNICIPALITIES. THEY DO AIR QUALITY ANALYSIS FOR MUNICIPALITIES, AND THAT THOSE ARE THE TASKS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, AIR QUALITY ANALYSIS FOR PROJECTS THAT WILL TAP INTO A DIFFERENT KIND OF FUNDING SOURC& THAT THE CITY HAS NOT USED BEFORE. USUALLY THAT'S CONGESTION MITIGATION AND AIR QUALITY FUNDS THAT ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION. THERE IS ALSO OUR CARBON REDUCTION PROGRAM FUNDING SOURCE THAT ISS& ALSO AVAILABLE THROUGH THE MPO. 
          BUT WE NEED TO HAVE THESE AIR QUALITY ANALYZES DONE SO THAT WE CAN TAP INTO THOSE FUNDS. THAT'S DOCUMENTATION THAT THE MPO REQUIRES. SO AS WE WERE WORKING THROUGH THE FINAL VERSION OF THE AGREEMENT, WHAT I REQUESTED IS THAT INSTEAD OF USING HOURLY FEES, THAT WE WOULD DO TASK ORDERS. SO THEY WOULD PROPOSE AN AMOUNT FOR SPECIFIC TASKS, AND THEN THE CITY WOULD REVIEW IT AND EXECUTE THOSE IF THEY FOUND THEM ACCEPTABLE. BUT ALSO SINCE WE WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR SOME TIME, THEY'VE ASKED TO& EXTEND THE TERM TO JUNE 14TH, 2029 TO GIVE US MORE TIME SINCE WE REALLY HAVEN'T TAPPED INTO THIS AGREEMENT AT ALL. SO THEY WANT A LITTLE BIT LONGER TIME FOR THIS TO BE BASICALLY A REQUIREMENTS CONTRACT. SO THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TOO& THE AGREEMENT. WE BELIEVE THATT& WE NEED THE EXPERTISE FROM DTI TO CARRY OUT THESE TASKS. SO STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT AGAIN WITH WIT& THE CHANGES THE TASK ORDERS AND EXTENDING THE TERM. THANK YOU. THANK YOU DOCTOR. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? YES, SIR. DOCTOR QUESADA, JUST SO I BETTER UNDERSTAND THE SCOPE, WHAT IS A TYPICAL PRICE TAG FOR A TASK ORDER? YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAD ANY OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD. SORRY. 
          NO, NO. THIS IS THE FIRST TIMEE& THAT WE ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH DTI TO DO ANY OF THIS WORK. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE NORMAL AMOUNT IS. WHAT WE'VE BEEN TOLD& IS THAT BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE EXPERTISE TO DO THE AIR QUALITY ANALYSIS, THAT IT WOULD NOT TAK& THEM VERY LONG, BUT WHAT MAY BE& A MODEST COST TO THEM MAY NOT B& AS MODEST TO US. BUT ABSENTT& THIS, WE DON'T HAVE A WAY OF GETTING THOSE THOSE PROPOSALS. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THOSE ARE, BUT CERTAINLY WE CAN KEEP THE MAYOR INFORMED AS TO WHAT THOSE AMOUNTS ARE, AND WE CAN REPORTT& THAT TO COUNCIL IF HE SO DIRECTS. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL MOTION T& APPROVE. WE HAVE A MOTION TOO& APPROVE. IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND AND A SECOND? I THINK SHE BEAT YOU JUST. ANGEL ORTEGA, COULD YOU PLEASE PULL THE COUNCIL? ORTEGA. ORTEGA I AVILA. AMES. CARDIO. MENDOZA. AYE.

THERE'S ALSO A TRANSFER FOR 116,212 FROM THE BUDGET LINE. ITEMS ON THE STREETS DEPARTMENT, 66,212 FROM& THEIR OPERATING AND 50,000 FROM& THEIR CAPITAL.

THIS IS THE LINE ITEMS THAT WE WILL TRANSFER FROM THE STORMWATER TO THE PARKS DEPARTMENT. THERE'S VARIOUS LINE ITEMS THAT THEY DECIDED TOO& TRANSFER FROM.

THIS IS THEIR DECISION ON WHICH DEPARTMENT LINE ITEMS THEY WOULD DECREASE IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THE PARK IMPROVEMENTS. WELL, IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE OVER BUDGETED SOMEWHERE, BUT OKAY, WELL, IT I& THE YEAR END AND THEY PROBABLY DON'T SEE THE NEED FOR THE FUNDS.

SIR. ITEM NUMBER 17. THIS IS A DISCUSSION AND ACTION ITEM. THIS IS THAT THE MAYOR OF HORIZON CITY BE AUTHORIZED TO SIGN A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AND APPROVING THE CHAPTER 380 ECONOMIC INCENTIVE AGREEMENT WITH NAZO PARTNERS, LLC REGARDING THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW OFFICE FACILITIES WITHINN& HORIZON CITY, TEXAS. JUST SO WE'RE GOING TO HEAR BOTH ITEMS AT ONCE. OKAY. GOT IT. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE BOTH AT THE SAMEE& TIME. YES, MA'AM. OKAY. SO WE'RE GOING TO TAKE ITEM 17 AND 18 AT& THE SAME TIME TOGETHER. I'M SORRY. AND ITEM NUMBER 18 IS DISCUSSION AND ACTION. THIS IS THE THAT THE MAYOR OF HORIZON CITY BE AUTHORIZED TO SIGN A RESOLUTION OF THE HORIZON CITY CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING AND APPROVING THE PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT WITH NAZO PARTNERS, LLC REGARDING THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW OFFICE FACILITIES WITHIN HORIZON CITY, TEXAS. GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL, EDDIE GARCIA WITH HORIZON CITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. THIS IS AN ITEM THAT YOU PREVIOUSLY SAW IN EXECUTIVE SESSION. AND SOO& HERE IT IS. BEFORE YOU READY TO& EXECUTE. THIS IS BOTH THE CHAPTER 380 AGREEMENT. AND IT'S THE PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT THAT THE EDC HAS TO THE EDC HAS ALREADY APPROVED, BUT WE NEED FOR YOU ALL TO SIGN OFF ON IT AS WELL. AND SO AGAIN, THE REQUEST IS THAT THE MAYOR, VERIZON CITY, BE ALLOWED TO SIGN A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AND APPROVING THE CHAPTER 380 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE AGREEMENT AND THE RELATED PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT WITH CANAL PARTNERS, LLC. AS YOU AS YOU ALL RECALL, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I DID DISCUSS WITH YOU IS THAT WE WANT HORIZON CITY TO HAVE A DIFFERENT LOOK AND FEEL. YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT WITH YOUR TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT, YOU'RE GOING TO BE MOVING BUSINESS BUILDINGS TO THE FRONT. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE. WE WANTED THE PRODUCT THAT COMES INTO HORIZON CITY ESPECIALLY. WE INCENTIVIZE IT TO HAVE A DIFFERENT LOOK. WE DON'T WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE WHAT YOU SEE ON ABC. NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. 
          YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A SEA OFF& PARKING IN THE FRONT. WE WANT T& SEE BUILDINGS MOVE TO THE FRONT& BUT IN THIS CASE, WHAT WE DID I& WE TOOK ADVANTAGE THAT THERE'S A DOCTOR THAT'S DEVELOPING THISS& PIECE OF PROPERTY. HE'S GOING T& BRING IN SOME MEDICAL USES. AND SO IT'D BE A GREAT IDEA, WE THOUGHT, TO GO IN THERE AND PUT SOME REQUIREMENTS THAT THEY HAVE A JOB FAIR HERE IN HORIZON CITY, WHICH IS WHAT WE DON'T SEE A LOT. AND TO ALSO ENCOURAGE THE DOCTOR TO GO OUT THERE AND HIS TENANTS TO GO OUT THERE AND PROMOTE THESE BUSINESSES, THESE THESE JOBS WITH WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS. BORDERPLEX, WHICH IS ONE OF OUR ALIGNED PARTNERS WITH THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. SO AGAIN, WHAT THE CANONAZO PARTNERS LLC IS PROPOSING TO DO IS THEY'RE PROPOSING TO DEVELOP A 36,0000& SQUARE FOOT DEVELOPMENT, 36,000FT■!S ON SEVEN ACRES, AGAN TO ATTRACT AND ACCOMMODATE MEDICAL RELATED USES. WHAT YOU'LL SEE IF YOU LOOK AT THE AGREEMENT, THE CHAPTER 380 AGREEMENT, IT'S IN THE EXHIBIT.& SO TO MEMORIALIZE THAT THEY DO PROMOTE MEDICAL USES, WE'RE REQUIRING THEM TO HAVE 51% OF THE 36,000FT■!S DEDICATED, DEDICATED EXCLUSIVELY FOR MEDICAL OFFICE USE. AGAIN, THE DEVELOPER IN THIS CASE IS PROPOSING TO INVEST $6.77& MILLION. LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, WE WANT THE DEVELOPER TO HAVE A JOB FAIR HERE IN HORIZON CITY WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS, WHICH IS OUR LINE PARTNER. AGAIN, THEY THEY CAN FIGURE OUT A WAY TOO& TARGET PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE IN HORIZON CITY SO THAT THEY CAN APPLY FOR THESE JOBS HERE. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT JOB FAIR. THAT'S A HARD REQUIREMENT IN THE CHAPTER 380 AGREEMENT AND THE PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT. THE OTHER THING THAT WE WANT THEM T& DO IS TO HAVE HIS TENANTS GO OUT THERE AND PLACE THESE JOBS. ON WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS MOTORPLEX O& THE WEBSITE THAT THEY HAVE THEIR. AND LIKE I MENTIONED, THE OTHER THING, WE WANT THOSE BUILDINGS MOVED TO THE FRONT. AND YOU'LL SEE THAT IN YOUR EXHIBIT A IN THE CHAPTER THREE AGREEMENT AND THE PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT, HOW WE WANT THEM TOO& CONFORM TO THE PLACEMENT OF THOSE BUILDINGS, NOT NECESSARILY THE DESIGN OR THE ARCHITECTURAL FEEL FOR IT, BUT THE PLACEMENT OF BUILDINGS, THE ORIENTATION OF BUILDINGS SO THAT THEY, THEY'RE CLOSER TO THE TO THE RIGHT OF WAY. IN THIS CASE IT'S CANONAZO. SO AGAIN, JUST TO GIVE YOU A QUICK OVERVIEW OF HOW INCENTIVES WORK FOR THE PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT. WELL, FOR THE CHAPTER THREE AGREEMENT IN THIS CASE, BECAUSE YOU ALL ARE REBATING THE PROPERTY TAXES. SO RIGHT NOW THOSE SEVEN ACRES HAVE A VALUE OF 343,000. THAT'S WHAT'S ON THE BOOKS RIGHT NOW WITH THE CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT. THAT MEANS 
          [01:05:03]
THAT YOU'RE GETTING ABOUT $1,91& IN PROPERTY TAXES. THAT'S WHATT& WE CALL THE BASE VALUE. SO THE BASE VALUE YOU'RE GOING TOO& CONTINUE TO GET THROUGHOUT THE TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE FIV& YEARS WHEN THE WHEN THE DEVELOPER FINISHES ALL OF HIS DEVELOPMENT, THEN HE INVESTS THE $6.7 MILLION. WE ESTIMATE THAT THE PROPERTY IS GOING TO BE WORTH ABOUT 3.35. SO THAT'S RUL& OF THUMB. IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, WE ESSENTIALLY TAK& THAT $6.7 MILLION AND WE CUT IT IN HALF. WE CUT IT IN HALF BECAUSE WE KNOW THERE ARE SOFT COSTS OUT THERE, LIKE ENGINEERING COSTS, THE COST OFF& THE PROPERTY, THE COST OF MOVE LINES, WHICH ARE NOT GOING TOO& SEE THE VALUE, THOSE COSTS WHEN& YOU PUT A BUILDING UP. SO WE ESTIMATE IT'S ABOUT $3.35 MILLION. AND THAT'S WHAT THE INCENTIVE IS BASED OFF OF, NOT THE $6.7 MILLION THAT HE'S INVESTING. SO TO BE FAIR, THATT& IS WHAT WE THINK IS GOING TO GO& OUT THERE WHEN HE'S DONE IN YEAR ONE. WE ESTIMATE THAT THE PROPERTY TAXES ARE GOING TO GO FROM 1919 ALL THE WAY TO 18,739, RIGHT, YEAR ONE WHEN YOU'REE& DOING THAT. SO THE TAXABLE VALUE, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE AN INCREASE WHEN YOU SUBTRACT 18,739 FROM 1919, YOU HAVE 16,820. RIGHT. AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO UTILIZE IN YEAR ONE TO START REBATING 75% OF THE PROPERTY TAXES BACK. AND I SAY 16,820 BECAUSE THESE THINGS TEND TO GROW OVER TIME. RIGHT? IT STARTS AT 16,828. OUR ESTIMATES ARE RIGHT. AND THEYY& GROW 3% EVERY YEAR. SO YOU'LL YOU'LL SEE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'VE PROVEN THAT WE'VE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON HOW THESE PROPERTIE& GO UP IN VALUE, UNLESS IT'S COVID, WHICH WAS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THING. BUT PROPERTY VALUES JUST TOOK OFF. BUT TYPICALLY YOU'LL SEE A 3% INCREASE IN PROPERTY TAXES ON A YEARLY BASIS. AND AGAIN, JUST T& ORIENT YOU AS TO WHERE THE DEVELOPMENT IS LOCATED, IS LOCATED ON CANAL. SO THESE ARE THE SEVEN ACRES THAT THE DEVELOPER IS GOING TO PUT HIS BUILDINGS ON. AND THIS IS THE ORIENTATION OF THE BUILDINGS THAT YOU'LL FIND IN EXHIBIT INN& THE EXHIBIT A IN THE IN THE CHAPTER 380 AGREEMENT. AGAIN, W& WANT THEM TO LOOK TO PLACE THE BUILDINGS IN THIS MANNER. WHENN& YOU HAVE THE PARKING TO THE REAR. AGAIN, THAT IS A HARD REQUIREMENT IN THE CHAPTER 380 AGREEMENT AND THE PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT, BUILDINGS MAY NOT LOOK THAT WAY BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, HE MAY CHANGE HOWW& THEY LOOK, BUT THE ORIENTATION IS WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON BECAUSE AGAIN, WE WANT TO HAVE A DIFFERENT LOOK IN HORIZON CITY. WE DON'T WANT TO SEE A PARKING IN THE FRONT. WE WANT TO BE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT IT IS THAT& WE'RE DOING IN THE TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT. AND SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE INCENTIVE PROPOSAL FOR THE TOWN OF HORIZON, HORIZON CITY, WHAT YOU'LL BE REBAITING IS YOU'LL BE REBATING 75% OF THAT INCREMENTAL VALUE, NOT YOUR BASE VALUE. REMEMBER WE TALKED ABOUT THAT. AND SO WE'VE CAPPED IT AT 14,92& PER YEAR. SO IT'S A HARD REQUIREMENT THAT EVEN IF HE EXCEEDS THE VALUE STARTS EXCEEDING, YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO& BE REQUIRED TO PAY 14,923 PER YEAR. AND WE DO THAT, YOU KNOW, TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR BUDGET. SO YOU'RE NOT TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT VALUE IS AND HOW IT CHANGES ON A YEARLY BASIS AND WHAT THAT YEAR ONE LOOKS LIKE. LOOK, IT'S CAPPED AT 14,000. IF IT'S BELOW THAT, THE VALUE COMES IN BELOW THAT, IT'S STILL 75%, BUT IT CANNOT EXCEED 14,923 PER YEAR FOR FIVE YEARS. THAT MAKES SENSE FOR YOU. AND IT'S ONLY FIVE YEARS THAT HE'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO QUALIFY FOR THIS PROPERTY TAX. THE EDC, ON THE OTHER HAND, IS GOING TO DO $10,000 PER YEAR FOR FOUR YEARS. WE DON'T DO PROPERTY TAXES BECAUSE WE DON'T GET ANY PROPERTY TAXES BACK. WE UTILIZE THE DOLLARS THAT WE HAVE FOR INCENTIVES AND OUR BUDGET TO DO THIS WITH HIM. SO WE'LL BUDGET THAT OUT IN THE NEXT FOUR YEARS TO OFFER HIM THAT GRANT, TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT TAKES PLACE. THE TOTAL IS ABOUT $114,000. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THOSE TWO COMBINED IN INCENTIVES FROM& BOTH THE CITY AND THE EDC, THIS IS THE ECONOMIC IMPACT, RIGHT? WHEN YOU WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT PROPERTY TAXES, THERE ARE OTHER ECONOMIC IMPACTS BECAUSE WE THINK THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO COME HERE, UTILIZE THOSE MEDICAL SERVICES AND LEAVE THEIR TODDLERS HERE. THEY MAY GO TO A RESTAURANT, YOU KNOW, THOSE SALES TAXES THAT WE'RE GOING TO& TRY TO BRING INTO HORIZON CITY. SO THERE'S SOME POSITIVE LINKAGES THERE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. BUT IN TERMS OF THE TAX IMPACT, WEE& SEE ABOUT $496,000 THAT ALL THE OTHER TAXING ENTITIES COMBINEDD& ARE GOING TO GET OVER THE FIVEE& YEAR PERIOD, BECAUSE WE GET THIS DEVELOPMENT IN HERE AND WE INCENTIVIZE IT. HORIZON CITY IS& GOING TO BE ABLE TO TAKE THAT 25% THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT. WE ESTIMATE THAT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT $24,000 FOR THOSE FIVEE& YEARS. AFTER THAT FIVE YEAR PERIOD, IT'S GOING TO JUMP UP T& WHATEVER THAT VALUE IS. LIKE II& SAID BEFORE, IT STARTS OFF AT 18,000 AND THEN IT'S GOING TOO& CONTINUE TO GROW 3% PER YEAR. S& THE TOTAL IS GOING TO BE 496 WITH ALL THE OTHER TAXINGG& ENTITIES THAT ARE HERE IN HORIZON CITY. AND AGAIN, THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION, AND I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT YO& ALL HAVE. THANK YOU SIR. CAN YOU GO BACK ONE. ABSOLUTELY. AND I 
          [01:10:01]
JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT HERE THAT THE HIGHEST TAX ENTITY THERE IS, CLINT ISD. AND IT'SS& NOT I'M JUST KIDDING. WE HAVE A& TRUSTEE FROM CLINT ISD IN THE BACK, SO I THOUGHT I'D I'D GIVE HIM SOME RIBBING THERE. SO THANKS FOR BEING HERE, SIR. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? SO JUST TO CLARIFY, THE $40,000 INCENTIVE THROUGH EDC, THAT'S THAT COMES DIRECTLY FROM YOUR QUARTER SYNTAX. CORRECT??& THAT'S CORRECT. SO EVERY YEAR WE A LOT ABOUT LAST YEAR I THINK I& WAS ABOUT $90,000 IN INCENTIVES. THIS YEAR WILL PROBABLY BE MORE WHEN I'M GETTING TOO AHEAD OF MYSELF. BUT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IN THE BUDGET BECAUSE NOW WE DON'T HAVE TO AT LEAST PAY A LEASE OF $40,000 PER YEAR. SOO& WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE INCENTIVES TO PROVIDE DIFFERENT BUSINESSES. RIGHT. BUT SO THAT COMES FROM OUR INCENTIVE SECTION AND OUR BUDGET TO, TO GRANT TOO& ALLOW FOR THESE GRANTS. BUT IT DOES COME FROM THAT QUARTER AND THEN WAS THERE AND JUST YEAH. I& THAT CORRECT THIS QUARTER. YEAH. OKAY. AND THEN WAS THERE ANY PARTICULAR REASON YOU LANDED ON THE $40,000 ACROSS FOUR YEARS? THAT'S THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEGOTIATED WITH HIM. THAT'S NUMBER ONE. WE EITHER HAVE WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER INCENTIVE THA& WE'RE WORKING. SO I HAVE TOO& SPREAD THESE OUT OVER TIME. I CAN'T OFFER THE FULL $40,000..& AND SO TYPICALLY WE WANT TO DO IS MAKE SURE THAT HE'S COMPLYING, THAT HE'S KEEPING THE MEDICAL THERE FOR FOUR YEARS. 
          AND IT'S ALSO A BUDGETING BECAUSE I STILL HAVE AN INCENTIVE AGREEMENT THAT I'M WORKING WITH THE DEVELOPER RIGHT HERE THAT DEVELOPED THAT THOSE 20,000FT■!S, THE 25,000FT■!S RIT HERE BETWEEN OXBOW AND POLLY. CORRECT. SO I STILL HAVE THAT INCENTIVE IN THERE. SO I HAVE T& ACCOUNT FOR EVERYTHING IN THERE& SO I'M LIMITED IN WHAT I CAN DO IN TERMS OF THE REBATE THAT I'M PROVIDING OR THE INCENTIVE THAT& I'M PROVIDING TO SOME OF THESE DEVELOPERS SO THAT IT COMES OUT OF MY BUDGET ESSENTIALLY. SO IT'S LIMITED. AND THAT'S HOW I CAME UP WITH THE 40,000, WHERE I'M SPREADING THESE OUT, AND I CAN DO MORE THAN ONE INCENTIVE AS OTHER BUSINESSES COME INTO HORIZON CITY. SO I'M VERY LIMITED IN WHAT I CAN DO AT THIS POINT. OKAY. AND ALSO, HOW DID WE GET TO THE $74,614 TAX REBATE? SO THAT SO YEAH, SO THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. SO WHAT WE DO IS WE TAKE THAT $3.35 MILLION AND WE MULTIPLY IT TIMES THE CITY'S TAX RATE. AND THEN EVERY YEAR THERE'S A 3% ESCALATOR LIKE I MENTIONED. AND SO IT STARTS TO INCREASE. ANDD& THAT'S HOW YOU GET TO THE $75,000. AND AGAIN THAT'S AN ESTIMATE. WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT IS GOING TO DO. BUT WE'RE WE'RE PRETTY CLOSE. RIGHT. 
          THEN AFTER THAT WE'LL START ADJUSTING AS TO WHERE IT'S AT. BUT LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, THEY CAN ONLY THEY CAN ONLY MAX OUT AT 14,923. THE VALUES COME IN BELOW THAT. THEY'RE ONLYY& GOING TO GET 75%. SO THE REBATE MAY BE LESS. AND THEN AFTER THAT, AFTER THE FIRST YEAR HITS AND IT'S MORE CONSISTENT WITHH& WHAT'S HAPPENING OUT THERE,,& WE'LL BE ABLE TO GAUGE IT A LITTLE BETTER. OKAY. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? YES, SIR. THANK YOU. THE REBATES ARE TIED DIRECTLY T& THEIR PERFORMANCE, RIGHT? ABSOLUTELY. THEY, FOR WHATEVER REASON, ARE NOT STICKING TO WHAT THEY PROMISED. THEN THE REBATES STOP. SO WHAT HAPPENS IN THAT CASE IS IF THE IF THEY DON'T START, IF THEY DON'T COMPLY WITH WITH WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR CHAPTER THREE AGREEMENT, WE DOO& HAVE CLAWBACK PROVISIONS, AND W& WILL GO AFTER THOSE DOLLARS THA& WE PROVIDED TO THEM AND TO TRY TO GET THEM BACK. SO WE DO HAVE CLAWBACK PROVISIONS IN THE CHAPTER 380 AND THE PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT AND CLAWBACK JUST MEANS THAT WE'RE GOING TO GO OUT THERE AND TRY TO GET OUR DOLLARS BACK IF THEY DON'T COMPLY, THAT, THAT. OKAY. SO TRYING TO GET IT BACK, DOES THAT MEAN THAT THEY ALREADY HAVE THE MONEY AND THEN THEY MAY HAVE THE MONEY ALREADY. BUT LET'S SAY ON YEAR THREE THEY STOP FOR WHATEVER REASON. THEY DON'T FULFILL ONE OF THE PERFORMANCE AGREEMENTS. ON YEAR FOUR. THERE'S NO MORE REBATES FOR THEM. WE STOP THE REBATES, RIGHT. BUT WE'D ALSO GO BACK FOR OUR KNOWLEDGE. I THINK THAT'S IN THE PROVISION THAT WE PUT INN& THERE. THAT'S A CLAWBACK. THAT'S THAT'S STANDARD. OH I SEE OKAY. AND YOU KNOW AND I'LL CAVEAT IT LIKE THIS. YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE OUT OF THEIR CONTROL. AND SOMETIMES WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS WE MAY BRING THE PROJECT BACK AND AMEND THE AGREEMENT. RIGHT. BUT THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE SOME TYPE OF CONSIDERATION FOR WHEN WE BRING IT BACK TO YOU. IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S TOTALLY OUT OF THEIR CONTROL. I MEAN, AGAIN, WE WANT TO BE GOOD PARTNERS WITH THE PEOPLE THAT ARE DEVELOPING HERE& IN HORIZON CITY. AND SO, YOU KNOW, DEPENDING ON WHAT IT IS, WE MAY BRING IT BACK OR WE GOO& AND TRY TO GET THAT MONEY BACK THROUGH OUR CLAWBACK PROVISIONS. THAT MAKES SENSE. THANK YOU SIR. 
          COOL. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YES. I JUST HAD ONE MORE QUESTION ON ATTACHMENT TOO& BULLET POINT 11. THIS IS FOR THE CHAPTER THREE INCENTIVE AGREEMENT. IT SAYS SHALL ALLOW THE CITY OR ITS AGENTS REASONABLE ACCESS TO OPERATING RECORDS, ACCOUNTING BOOKS AND OTHER RECORDS RELATED TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS AND INCENTIVES DESCRIBED HERE ON IN. AND SO IS THERE A LIMIT TO THE FREQUENCY OR SCOPE OF AUDITS THE CITY MIGHT REQUEST? AND COULD THIS PROVISION ALLOW FOR AUDITSS& BEYOND VERIFYING QUALIFIED 
          [01:15:04]
EXPENDITURES? I THINK AT THIS POINT, YOU KNOW, IS THERE A LIMIT? I MEAN, AS LONG AS WE'RE SATISFIED, I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT. YOU KNOW, IF WE GET THE IF WE GET A THIRD PARTY AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S SOMEBODY THAT'S AUDITING, YOU KNOW, A ACCOUNTING FIRM, YOU KNOW, THEN I THINK WE HAVE TO GO DOWN THAT ROAD. BUT A LIMIT I DON'T SEE THAT THERE'S A LIMIT IF IT'S NOT LISTED THERE IN THE AGREEMENT. OKAY. I'VE NEVER HAD TO DO THAT. BUT IT'SS& POSSIBLE THAT WE MAY WRITE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. NO. IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE? SECOND, SO THAT MOTION IS TO APPROVE ITEM 17 AND 18. CORRECT. TOGETHER II& JUST WANT YEAH. JUST SO WE CAN MAKE SURE IT'S ITEM 17 OKAY. 
          SECOND THANK YOU. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. AND A SECOND, COULD YOU PLEASE PULL THE COUNCIL. ORTEGA. ORTEGA. HI, AVILA. HI, AMES. HI. HI, MENDOZA. HI. MOTION CARRIES..& THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SIR. 716. WHAT'S IT BEING? THAT THERE ARE NO FURTHER ITEMS ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA. I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADJOURN. MOTION TOO& ADJOURN. AND WE ARE ADJOURNED. 
          THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. AND
