SORRY. ALL IN FAVOR? THAT MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. AT THIS TIME, WE'LL NOW MOVE ON TO

[CITIZEN COMMENTS]

[16. Receive and discuss the Bond Committee recommendation for a November 4, 2025, Bond Election. (RBS)]

[00:15:01]

AND WE RELY ON ASSESSED VALUATION GROWTH EITHER THROUGH NEW CITIZENS, NEW CONSTRUCTION OR INCREASES IN ASSESSED VALUATION AND PAYING OFF THE OLD DEBT. WE ISSUE 20 YEAR DEBT, SO WE ALWAYS HAVE ABOUT 5% MATURING IN ANY GIVEN YEAR. AND THEN THROUGH REFUNDINGS THAT PRODUCE DEBT SERVICE SAVINGS. AND BASED ON THAT, WE CAME UP WITH AN INITIAL ESTIMATE OF 165 MILLION.

WE'RE NOW UP TO CAPACITY OF ABOUT 184 MILLION. THAT WOULD BE OVER EIGHT YEARS. AND THE INITIAL LIST OF PROJECTS WAS INFRASTRUCTURE, PARKS, LIBRARY AND POLICE EXPANSION. WE MADE IT CLEAR AND WE WENT OVER WITH THE COMMITTEE. THE COUNCIL'S FIVE STRATEGIC VISION ELEMENTS. AND THEN JUST TO GIVE THE COMMITTEE A LITTLE BIT OF STRUCTURE, WE STARTED OFF INITIALLY WITH A 55% INFRASTRUCTURE, 45% FACILITIES AND AMENITIES DIVISION OF THE AVAILABLE CAPACITY, AS IT TURNS OUT. AND AS YOU WILL SEE, WE ACTUALLY FLIPPED IT. IT'S NOW 55% FACILITIES AND AMENITIES AND 45% INFRASTRUCTURE. AND THAT'S WHAT THE PROCESS IS ALL ABOUT. AND JUST TO GIVE YOU CONTEXT, PART OF THE REASON THE COMMITTEE WAS ABLE TO DO THAT WAS THE LAST BOND ELECTION IN 2020 WAS 75% INFRASTRUCTURE. SO THE FEELING WAS SOME OF THOSE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF.

SO THE COMMITTEE MET SEVEN TIMES. THEY HEARD PRESENTATIONS FROM TOWN STAFF AND CONSULTANTS.

THEY TOURED OUR TOWN FACILITIES, AND THEN THEY TOURED FACILITIES THAT WERE IN NEARBY COMMUNITIES THAT HAD ELEMENTS THAT WE THOUGHT WOULD BE GOOD TO INCORPORATE INTO OUR PROJECTS.

AND THEN THEY PRIORITIZED AND REPRIORITIZED PROJECTS TO STAY WITHIN THE BUDGET AND BEST BALANCE THE NEEDS AND COMMUNITY VALUES. HERE ARE THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE. AFTER I FINISHED SPEAKING, OUR CHAIR, KEVIN GREEN, IS GOING TO COME UP AND SAY A FEW WORDS. INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF GRATITUDE TO THE COMMITTEE. SEVERAL ARE HERE TONIGHT AND IF THEY'D LIKE, THEY CAN STAND UP AND WE'RE JUST WAY WAVING IS FINE. SO AND THEN OF COURSE, OUR COUNCIL LIAISONS, MAYOR PRO TEM BARTLEY, DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM KERN AND COUNCIL MEMBER REEVES. HERE WAS THE BASIS FOR WHAT WE PRIORITIZED THE PROJECTS TO BE. AND THEN HERE IS OUR RECOMMENDATION.

84,300,000 FOR STREETS, 29 MILLION FOR THE POLICE BUILDING EXPANSION, 34.2 MILLION FOR LIBRARY, 24 MILLION FOR PARKS AND RECREATION, 10 MILLION FOR A PERMANENT PUBLIC WORKS PARK SERVICE CENTER, WHICH WOULD ALLOW US TO NOT ONLY REPLACE THE TEMPORARY BUILDINGS THAT ARE QUICKLY WEARING OUT, BUT ALSO CONSOLIDATE BOTH PUBLIC WORKS AND PARKS FROM SEVERAL LOCATIONS INTO ONE. AND THEN THE HISTORIC SILO RENOVATION, FOR A TOTAL OF JUST UNDER 184 MILLION. AND WITH THAT, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE EACH OF THE DIRECTORS COME UP AND BRIEFLY SUMMARIZE WHAT THEIR PARTICULAR ITEMS CONSIST OF. BUT BEFORE THAT, I'D LIKE TO INVITE KEVIN UP. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR.

BRISTOL TOWN COUNCIL LEADERSHIP TOWN MANAGER KEN AZERIS AS A FELLOW RESIDENT, A DAD AND A MEMBER OF OUR LOCAL BUSINESS COMMUNITY, IT HAS BEEN A TRULY BEEN AN HONOR TO BE THE CHAIR OF THE TOWN'S BOND COMMITTEE. I KNOW I SPEAK FOR ALL NINE OF MY INCREDIBLE COMMITTEE MEMBERS WHEN I SAY, WE COULDN'T BE PROUDER TO CALL THE TOWN OF PROSPER OUR HOME. OVER THE LAST

[00:20:03]

EVERY PERSON ON OUR COMMITTEE WAS CAREFULLY CHOSEN TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD ALL VOICES FROM ALL CORNERS OF OUR TOWN REPRESENTED. TONIGHT, I CAN SAY WITH ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE THAT OUR RECOMMENDATIONS ENSURE THIS BOND PACKAGE TRULY REFLECTS THE DIVERSE VOICES AND INTERESTS OF OUR COMMUNITY. THAT MEANS EVERYONE FROM OUR YOUNGEST RESIDENTS TO OUR MOST EXPERIENCED, FROM THOSE WHO'VE ALWAYS CALLED TEXAS HOME, TO OUR NEWEST NEIGHBORS AND THOSE THAT LOVE QUIET AFTERNOONS AT OUR LIBRARY. TO THOSE WHO FIND JOY IN OUR AMAZING PARKS. AT THE SAME TIME, IT MAKES SURE THAT OUR FANTASTIC POLICE DEPARTMENT AND TOWN FACILITY TEAMS HAVE EVERYTHING THEY NEED TO TAKE CARE OF OUR TOWN FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. I WANT TO PERSONALLY THANK THE COMMITTEE WHO'S HERE TONIGHT, OR THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS THAT ARE HERE TONIGHT, AND THE TOWN COUNCIL FOR DEDICATING THEIR PRECIOUS TIME TO ENSURE THAT WE APPROACH THIS PROCESS CORRECTLY AND THAT ALL VOICES FROM OUR TOWN WERE HEARD AND REPRESENTED. I NOW WOULD LIKE TO HAND IT OVER TO THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENT LEADERS, WHO WILL WALK YOU THROUGH THE DETAILS OF THEIR SPECIFIC AREAS. BUT ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE TRUST. THANK YOU FOR THE TIME. I'M EXCITED FOR WHAT THIS WILL DO TO OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR TOWN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU KEVIN. GOOD EVENING MAYOR COUNCIL. BOB I'LL TRY TO BE BRIEF. SO WHEN WE MET WITH THE COMMITTEE, WHAT WE HAD TO REALLY DO TO GET A GOOD, SOLID RECOMMENDATION ON WHAT WE NEEDED FOR STREETS AND INFRASTRUCTURE WAS REALLY TO DISSECT WHERE WHERE ARE WE ON STREETS AND INFRASTRUCTURE? THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION ON THIS SLIDE REAL QUICK THAT REALLY SET THE BASIS OF GETTING THAT COMING UP WITH THAT UNDERSTANDING. AS YOU LOOK AT THIS EXHIBIT, I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT WHEN YOU SEE OUR ROADWAY INFRASTRUCTURE, YOU'LL SEE SEVERAL DIFFERENT COLORS. THE BLACK REPRESENTS ROADS THAT ARE COMPLETED. OR AS WE CONTINUE TO DEVELOP, THERE MAY BE SOME OTHER ROADS THAT AREN'T COMPLETED TODAY, BUT THAT WILL BE COMPLETED BY DEVELOPERS. SO WE SHOW THAT KIND OF OFF THE MAP AS AS ROADS THAT DON'T NEED TO BE CONSIDERED BECAUSE THEY'LL BE CONSTRUCTED BY OTHERS OR ARE DONE IN THE FUTURE. WE SHOW IN GREEN THE 2020 BOND PROJECTS THAT WE'VE COMPLETED, AND YOU CAN SEE THOSE HIGHLIGHTED FIRST STREET FROM COURT TO CUSTER, AS WELL AS FIRST AND TEAL ON THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN. AND THEN WE ALSO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE 2020 BOND PROJECTS THAT ARE ACTUALLY IN THE WORKS. AND THOSE ARE IN RED, SO THAT YOU CAN SEE THE ONES THAT WE'RE FINISHING UP WITH THE BOND DOLLARS THAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY. SO WHAT THAT LEAVES YOU IS FOR CONSIDERATION AS THE ROADS THAT ARE SHOWN IN BLUE. ARE NOW ASKING FOR EVERYTHING IN BLUE WAS A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN WHAT WE HAD TO ALLOCATE. SO THE COMMITTEE WENT THROUGH AND PRIORITIZED. AS YOU CAN SEE OUR TOP NINE ARE SHOWN IN BLUE HERE. THERE'S STILL SOME GRAY PROJECTS OR GRAY STREETS THAT WILL BE SOMETHING HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED IN THE FUTURE. BUT WHAT WE CAME UP WITH IS THESE NINE HERE IN BLUE, AS WELL AS YOU'LL SEE TWO RED CIRCLES THAT ARE REPRESENTING ROUNDABOUTS. AND WITH THOSE, THIS IS OUR DETAILED LIST AND REALLY THE PRIORITY THAT WE SEE. I WON'T GO THROUGH EACH ONE OF THOSE, BUT I DO WANT TO POINT OUT SOMETHING THAT WAS VERY INTERESTING WHEN WE PUT THIS TOGETHER. IT'S NOT TILL YOU GET TO PROJECT SEVEN THAT YOU ACTUALLY SEE A PROJECT THAT HAS DESIGN ON IT, AND I THINK THAT GOES TO A LOT OF THE COMMITMENT THAT YOU ALL HAVE TO ACCELERATE INFRASTRUCTURE. A LOT OF THESE PROJECTS ARE UNDER DESIGN. SOME OF THEM ARE EVEN IN THE RIGHT OF WAY PROCESS. SO IT'S NICE TO SEE THAT THE MAJORITY OF THEM ON THE LIST ARE MORE SHOVEL READY, JUST NEEDING CONSTRUCTION DOLLARS TO MOVE FORWARD. SO WITH THAT, WE HAD I THINK WE STARTED OUT WITH ABOUT 15 ROAD PROJECTS. WE RECOMMEND THESE NINE AS WELL AS TWO ROUNDABOUTS. AND WITH THAT, BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE RELATED TO THE RECOMMENDATIONS. DO YOU REMEMBER OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD THE NUMBER FOR THE ORIGINAL NUMBER? I JUST WANTED THE REST OF THE COUNCIL TO KIND OF SEE THE WORK THAT THE BOND WAS HOPING. SOMEBODY WOULD ASK ME, SORRY, IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE PERCENTAGES OF THE, YOU KNOW, 195.5 MILLION IS WHERE I STARTED. YEAH. SO THAT JUST GIVES YOU A SENSE OF THE DISCUSSION THAT WAS HAD WITH THIS COMMITTEE. THEY REALLY DID DIG DEEP AND FIGURE OUT, YOU KNOW, PRIORITIZE PRIORITIZING THOSE PROJECTS. SO I'M STILL FINE WITH 195.5 MILLION. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKAY. I'LL TURN OFF CHIEF KOWALSKI. MAYOR, COUNCIL, MISTER MANAGER, STAFF, CITIZENS PRESENT. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE THIS EVENING. I WOULD LIKE TO CALL UP JASON CAVE, WHO DID

[00:25:05]

WE'RE AT 92 EMPLOYEES, AND I KNOW SOME PEOPLE MAY BE THINKING, WELL, DIDN'T WE JUST BUILD THAT BUILDING? WELL, NO, IT WAS BACK IN 2018 AND THIS WAS THE RIBBON CUTTING TO KIND OF PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE, THOSE AREN'T BANDITS. THEY'RE NOT THERE TO ROB US, AS YOU PROBABLY ALL REMEMBER, WHEN WE WERE ASKED TO WEAR A MASK AT THE TIME, WHEN WE MOVED INTO THE BUILDING, IT WAS ANTICIPATED THAT IT WOULD BE 5 TO 7 YEARS TO HOLD WHAT WE HAD. WELL, WE MOVED IN IN 2020, SO WE'RE COMING RIGHT UP ON THAT FIVE YEAR MARK, AND WE KNOW IT'LL TAKE A COUPLE OF YEARS TO DESIGN AND BUILD THE BUILDING. SO WE'LL BE RIGHT AT THE AT THE TION OF SEVEN YEARS WHEN THIS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I'LL TALK ABOUT THIS QUICKLY. POPULATION ESTIMATES. WE TOOK ESTIMATES THAT WE RECEIVED FROM CHUCK EWING STAFF GOING OUT FOR ABOUT TEN YEARS. NOT NOT QUITE TO BUILD THAT, BUT TO BUILD OUT. AND THAT'S WHY WE WERE ANTICIPATING THIS, THIS, THIS BUILDING. WE'RE LOOKING AT A NUMBER OF BETWEEN 1.5 OFFICERS SWORN, WHICH IS PRETTY STANDARD FOR COMPARISON. CITIES YOU SEE NUMBER GOES A LITTLE BIT HIGHER BETWEEN 1.5 AND 1.75 IS ABOUT STANDARD FOR THIS AREA. WE'RE ALSO TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE DRONES. AND WE'RE SEEING THE DRONES ACCOUNT FOR WE ONLY HAVE ONE. IT WILL BE FOUR OFFICERS BECAUSE THEY WORK AROUND THE CLOCK ON EACH SHIFT. WHEN WE HAVE THAT SECOND ONE UP AND OPERATIONAL, WHICH WE SHOULD WITHIN A FEW MONTHS. WE GOT APPROVED FOR THAT GRANT. ANYWAY. THAT'LL BE EIGHT. THAT'LL BE THE EQUIVALENT OF EIGHT OFFICERS. THAT'LL BE TWO ON EACH SHIFT ANYWAY. GETS US OUT TO THE HOW MANY OFFICERS WE THINK WE'LL HAVE, HOW MANY EMPLOYEES TOWARDS BUILD OUT THE BUILD OUT. RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT AT 77,026 PEOPLE. AND THEN SO WITH THAT WE BROUGHT IN THE SPACE NEEDS ASSESSMENT. AND I'LL ASK JASON TO COME ON UP. AND HE CAN DESCRIBE THE SQUARE FOOTAGE.

ABSOLUTELY. YEP. THANK YOU CHIEF. GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MY NAME IS JASON CAVE.

I WORK FOR GFX DESIGN AND LIKE CHIEF SAID WORKED FOR A PREVIOUS FIRM AND WAS THE PROJECT ARCHITECT DESIGNING THE POLICE STATION WHEN IT WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT. SO IT WAS A PRIVILEGE TO WORK WITH THE CHIEF AND THE BOND COMMITTEE ON THIS STUDY. LIKE CHIEF SAID, WE STARTED FROM THE GROUND UP, WORKING WITH STAFFING PROJECTIONS FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO BE IN THE FUTURE. AND THEN WE CAN START TO THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH SPACE IS THAT GOING TO TAKE TO SUPPORT. SO THE PROGRAM YOU'RE SEEING HERE REALLY LOOKS AT WHAT WE SEE AS A FUTURE GLIMPSE, A FUTURE TOTAL ALL IN NEED FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. YOU CAN SEE SOME THINGS THAT AREN'T GOING TO BE PART OF WHAT'S FUNDED IN THIS BOND PACKAGE, BUT IT'S THINGS THAT WE THOUGHT WOULD BE NEEDED EVENTUALLY ON THE POLICE CAMPUS. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT ROUGHLY 85,400FT■!S TOTAL. YOU CAN SEE E CURRENT FACILITY 22, EIGHT, 95 IN THERE. AND SO THE DELTA THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE EVENTUALLY. SO THE EXISTING FACILITY, WE'VE GOT AN AERIAL VIEW HERE. AND IF I CLICK AGAIN ESSENTIALLY WHAT'S HIGHLIGHTED HERE AND I'LL WALK THROUGH THIS VERY QUICKLY IS WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED FOR THE 29 MILLION. SO WE PROVIDED MULTIPLE OPTIONS TO THE BOND COMMITTEE. AND THEY SORT OF PICKED A HYBRID, WHICH I THINK WORKS REALLY WELL. AND I'LL WALK YOU THROUGH ALL THE DIFFERENT AMENITIES. THE LARGE ADDITION TO THE BUILDING ON THE EAST SIDE IS SLATED TO SUPPORT ALL PERSONNEL NEEDS FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. AGAIN, THAT'S BASED ON THE STAFFING PROJECTIONS THAT WE HAVE. THE

[00:30:03]

THAT'S WHERE ALL THE STAFF SPACES ARE AND THE WEST SIDE BEING THINGS, PROPERTY AND EVIDENCE, THE GYM, LOCKER ROOM, THINGS LIKE THAT. THIS CONCEPT MAINTAINS THAT. AND WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO KEEP ALL THE PERSONNEL IN A TWO STORY EXPANSION HERE ON THE EAST.

ADMIN WILL KIND OF STAY WHERE THEY ARE. AND WE THINK OVER TIME THIS WILL SUPPORT THAT. THERE'S FOUR OTHER ELEMENTS ON THE SITE. WE'RE LOOKING AT EXPANDING SECURE SURFACE PARKING. WE'RE ALSO GOING TO EXPAND THE PUBLIC PARKING WITH SOME PARALLEL SPOTS ALONG SAFETY WAY. WE ALSO HEARD A NEED FOR A NEW PUBLIC PLAZA. THERE'S A SMALL PLAZA, BUT AS EVENTS AND THINGS WITHIN THE TOWN GET BIGGER, WE WANTED TO ACCOMMODATE A LARGER PUBLIC PLAZA FOR MEMORIAL DAY EVENTS OR OTHER THINGS. AND THEN ALONG MIKE HOWARD LANE, WE NEED TO RELOCATE THE DRIVE THAT'S CURRENTLY THERE TO THE SOUTH. SO MAYBE A BETTER IMAGE, KIND OF A STRAIGHT TOP DOWN SITE PLAN LOOKING AT THOSE ONCE THE NEW EXPANSION IS COMPLETED, PART OF THE PROJECT WILL THEN GO BACK AND RENOVATE SEVERAL OF THE EXISTING INTERIOR SPACES. SO PATROL, CID AND ADMIN ARE ARE IN THAT LONG DIAGONAL HATCHED REGION. SEVERAL OF THOSE GROUPS ARE MOVING INTO THE NEW ADDITION. SO THEN WE WOULD RENOVATE THOSE SPACES TO MEET THE REST OF THE BUILDING'S NEEDS. HERE'S A BREAKOUT OF WHAT WOULD BE ENTAILED. YOU CAN SEE IN THE NEW ADDITION WE'RE ACCOMMODATING PATROL AND CID. WE'VE ALSO GOT A NEW TRAINING ROOM IN THE ADDITION, BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE COMMUNITY ROOM IS USED QUITE FREQUENTLY. AND SO WE WANT TO WE KNOW THAT AS TRAINING CONTINUES TO BE A DEMAND, WE'RE GOING TO GIVE THE POLICE THEIR OWN DEDICATED ROOM AND LET THAT UPFRONT ROOM JUST KIND OF BE MORE FLEX FOR THE COMMUNITY AND MORE PUBLIC EVENTS. THE SECOND LEVEL, AS YOU CAN SEE, IS IN THIS PROJECT SHELL SPACE. WE THINK WE CAN ACCOMMODATE A GOOD AMOUNT OF GROWTH WITH JUST THE FIRST FLOOR AND THEN OVER TIME AS NEEDED, SAVING MONEY. IN THIS BOND PACKAGE, WE CAN SHELL OUT THE SECOND FLOOR AND THEN IN A FUTURE TIME, BUILD THAT OUT AS MORE POLICE STAFF COME ON BOARD. THE ANY QUESTIONS? THE ONE PART I'LL ADD INTO THAT IS THE INITIAL PROPOSAL WHEN WE WENT TO THE BOND COMMITTEE WAS $32.5 MILLION, AND THAT WOULD BE INCLUDING THE BUILD OUT OF THE SECOND FLOOR. DURING THE COURSE OF THE MEETINGS AND THE CONVERSATIONS, WE REDUCED IT FROM BY $3.5 MILLION TO SHELL OUT THE SECOND FLOOR AND FREE UP MONEY FOR THE OTHER PROJECTS THAT THE COUNCIL AND THE CITIZENS WILL BE LOOKING AT, AND WOULD SLOWLY BUILD INTO THAT AS THE NEED AROSE. QUESTIONS FOR CHIEF. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. GARY. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. MAYOR, COUNCIL, THANKS FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY. I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU WE'RE THE LIBRARY BOARD AND I ARE REALLY EXCITED THAT THE BOND COMMITTEE IS MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO INCLUDE THE LIBRARY AND PART OF ITS THE BOND PACKAGE. AND SO I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF SLIDES HERE TO GIVE YOU AN INFORMATION JUST SO YOU CAN AS YOU'RE CLOSING ON, ON YOUR FINAL DECISION. SO THE FIRST THING IS THE KIND OF THE BASIC FRAMEWORK IS, IS THAT THE LIBRARY IS POPULAR AND PEOPLE LIKE IT. SO WE HAVE WE HAVE SOLID GROWTH EACH YEAR IN TERMS OF OUR MEMBERSHIP AND THE ITEMS THAT WE LOAN OUT EACH YEAR, BUT WITH PROGRAMS AND ATTENDANCE ESPECIALLY, WE'VE HAD A HUGE INCREASE THERE. SO JUST LAST YEAR, WE HAD A 40% INCREASE OVER THE PREVIOUS YEAR, AND WE WERE EXPECTING ANOTHER INCREASE THIS YEAR. SO THAT'S THE AREA THAT WE'RE REALLY LOOKING AT. SO IT'S RARE THAT IT HAPPENS. BUT OUR YOU KNOW, OCCASIONALLY WE HAVE TO TURN RESIDENTS AWAY TO OUR PROGRAMS AND BUT WE GO OUT OF OUR WAY TO AVOID THAT. SO WE DO MULTIPLE SESSIONS FOR OUR THESE ARE FOR OUR FAMILY PROGRAMS, KIDS PROGRAMS ESPECIALLY. AND WE JUST OPTIMIZE EVERY SQUARE FOOT OF THE EXISTING SPACE. SO AND THEN OUR, OUR RESIDENTS, THEY COMPARE US TO OUR NEIGHBOR CITIES. SO THEY'RE ALL BUILDING NEW LIBRARIES. AND SO THEY COMMENT ON THAT. AND SO THE COMMITTEE TOOK THAT INTO CONSIDERATION AS WELL. AND THEN FINALLY TOWN HALL NEEDS THE SPACE. SO IT'S OWN STAFF IS GROWING. AND THE LIBRARY WAS NEVER INTENDED TO STAY IN THE SPACE THAT IT WAS IN. AND SO THAT'S THAT'S THE OTHER CONSIDERATION TO. SO WE'RE TRYING TO GET READY FOR THE FUTURE. AS YOU'LL RECALL, WE HIRED A FIRM LAST YEAR TO DO A MASTER PLAN FOR THE LIBRARY. IT WAS OVER 600 RESIDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THAT, WHICH WAS

[00:35:06]

[00:40:06]

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKAY. THANK YOU.

MY APOLOGIES. I THOUGHT PARKS WAS BEFORE ME. SO GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. SO I WILL GO BRIEFLY OVER THE SERVICE CENTER. THESE WERE PROJECTS THAT WERE ADDED A LITTLE BIT LATER IN THE PROCESS, AS WE SAW SOME OF THE COST INCREASES THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT FOR THE PROPOSED SERVICE CENTER. SO TWO YEARS AGO, MASTER PLAN WAS APPROVED FOR THE PUBLIC WORKS AND PARK SERVICE CENTER. AND THIS IS IT. WE STARTED THE DESIGN PROCESS LAST SUMMER FOR A NEW SERVICE CENTER. AND SO WHAT WAS PROPOSED AND WHAT IS YOU KNOW, AS WE GOT THROUGH THE DESIGN PROCESS, REALIZED THAT WE PROBABLY NEEDED SOME ADDITIONAL SPACE. THIS MADE SOME ASSUMPTIONS AS FAR AS PERSONNEL THAT WE DON'T BELIEVE ARE REALLY ACCURATE. YOU KNOW, THERE WERE LIKE 192 POSITIONS PROJECTED, WHICH IS PRETTY CLOSE TO WHAT WE BELIEVE WILL BE THERE ULTIMATELY. BUT IT IT ASSIGNED ZERO SQUARE FEET TO 72 OF THOSE POSITIONS. WE UNDERSTAND THAT FIELD STAFF IS OUT IN THE COMMUNITY AND DON'T NEED A LOT OF SPACE, BUT IT DOES. THERE ARE SPACE NEEDS FOR THOSE POSITIONS AT TIMES, SO THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME SPACE FOR THAT. ALSO, THE SHOP WAS PROBABLY A LOT SMALLER THAN WHAT WE BELIEVE WE'LL NEED AS WE ADD ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT. ALSO, WE HAVE ADDED FACILITIES, PERSONNEL AND ALSO A FLEET MANAGER EVENTUALLY AND LIKELY FLEET TECHNICIANS TO MAINTAIN OUR OUR VEHICLES. SO THE COST ESTIMATES THAT CAME FROM THAT FOR CONSTRUCTION WAS 19 MILLION. THAT INCLUDED NOT ONLY THE SHOP, THE ADMIN BUILDING COVERED STORAGE, BUT ALSO A FUEL CENTER AND A WASH IN AN AREA TO DO VEHICLE WASHING. SO WE CUT MOST OF THAT OUT JUST TO TRY TO REDUCE THAT COST. AND IT ALSO ASSUMED A 40% CONTINGENCY AND A AND A LARGE ESCALATION. SO THAT WAS THE VALUE. WE WENT BACK AND SAID, WELL, IF WE JUST DO AT LEAST TWO OF THESE, WE UTILIZE THOSE ESTIMATES. AND WE'RE WORKING TO A NUMBER. THE 15 MILLION IS WHAT WE FELT WE COULD PUT TOGETHER TO BE ABLE TO CASH FUND AT LEAST A PHASE ONE, WHICH, YOU KNOW, WOULD LIKELY BE JUST THE ADMIN BUILDING. AS WE GOT FURTHER INTO DESIGN, YOU KNOW, THE ADMIN BUILDING WAS LARGER. THE SHOP THAT WE NEED IS LARGER, BUT REALLY THEY'RE LARGER JUST TO MEET LONG TERM NEEDS OF THE OF THE DEPARTMENTS, THIS WOULD HAVE PROBABLY JUST BEEN A SMALLER BUILDING THAT WOULD HAVE, YOU KNOW, ACCOMMODATED WHAT WE HAVE NOW AND IN THE NEAR FUTURE, BUT LONG TERM WOULD NOT SERVE THE NEEDS OF THESE DEPARTMENTS. SO THIS IS THE NEW SITE PLAN BASED ON THE CURRENT DESIGN. THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF PUTTING TOGETHER CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS.

NOW, WE DID HAVE TO MOVE THE BUILDING BACK AS COMPARED TO THE FIRST SITE PLAN. THAT 80 FOOT EASEMENT THERE FOR A GAS PIPELINE. WE AREN'T ABLE TO PAVE OVER THAT. AND SO THAT REALLY CHANGED THE LAYOUT SIGNIFICANTLY. SO I MOVED THE ADMIN BUILDING BACK AND ADDS A SHOP AND COVERED STORAGE. SO THIS IS THE LONG TERM PLAN. WHAT WE'VE ACTUALLY GOT TO THE DESIGN IS SIMPLY THE PARKING THE ADMIN BUILDING, THE SHOP AND THE ALL THE PAVED AREAS AS WELL. SO.

[00:45:05]

METRO FIRE AGAIN, THE SHOP IS CLOSER TO 20,000FT■!S AND IT DID DOES ACCOMMODATE ALL OF OUR FUNCTIONS. IF WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE ADDITIONAL 25,000, IT WOULD, OR 10 MILLION TO 25 MILLION, THEN WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO BUILD ALL OF THIS, BUT AT LEAST MOST OF IT. THE MAJOR CHANGES ARE, IF YOU LOOK ON THE RIGHT SIDE, IS ADDITIONAL AREA TO STORE VEHICLES AND TO KEEP VEHICLES WARM WINTER. SO WE'LL TYPICALLY PUT OUR SANDING TRUCKS AND IN OUR, IN OUR, IN OUR OTHER VEHICLES THAT ARE GOING TO GO OUT AND TREAT ROADS. AND ALSO IT'LL ACCOMMODATE FLEET MAINTENANCE AS WELL. SO WE DON'T HAVE A LOCATION CURRENTLY TO MAINTAIN OUR FLEET. AND EVENTUALLY WE WILL NEED TO HAVE A LOCATION TO, TO MAINTAIN FLEET, BECAUSE WE WILL BRING THAT IN-HOUSE AS WE ACQUIRE MORE VEHICLES. SO AGAIN, THE BIG CHANGES, YOU KNOW, THE ORIGINAL PLAN DIDN'T ACCOMMODATE FOR ALL THE POSITIONS. AND SO THIS DOES THAT. IT ALSO DIDN'T HAVE A PLAN FOR ALL THE VEHICLES THAT WE WOULD NEED TO HOUSE WITHIN THE PROPOSED SHOP. AND HONESTLY, WHAT THIS PLAN WILL DO IS BE THE ULTIMATE DESIGN THAT WILL CARRY THESE DEPARTMENTS FROM TO BUILD OUT AND BEYOND. WE BELIEVE ONCE THIS IS IF THIS IS WHAT'S CONSTRUCTED, THEN IT WILL SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE DEPARTMENT, YOU KNOW, UNTIL IT NEEDS TO BE DEMOLISHED. BOTTOM LINE, BECAUSE IT'S AS WE HIT BUILD OUT, IT'LL IT'LL BE ADEQUATE FOR OUR NEEDS GOING FORWARD. SO AND WE'LL NOT NEED ANY ADDITIONAL PHASES OUTSIDE OF SOME, SOME STORAGE.

SO. SO THIS IS THE CURRENT ESTIMATE. THE ADMIN BUILDING IS CLOSER TO THE 15 MILLION THAT WE TALKED ABOUT THE AND THEN THE ADMIN THE PARKS ADMIN FINISHING OUT WAS 943 SHOP BUILDING JUST OVER EIGHT. AND THIS COVERED STORAGE IN THE PARK. STORAGE COMES IN AT CLOSE TO 3 MILLION AND THEN SITE WORK. OVERALL SITE IS UTILITIES AND PAVING. IT'S JUST OVER SIX AND A HALF. AND THEN 11% CONTINGENCY GETS TO 33. NOW THAT'S NOT 25 MILLION WE UNDERSTAND. SO CERTAINLY YOU KNOW THINGS SUCH AS THE COVERED STORAGE COULD BE AT A LATER PHASE. AND WE WOULD BE ABLE AND WE COULD WE WOULD DEFINITELY REWORK THE DESIGN TO WORK WITHIN THAT NUMBER. THERE'S POSSIBILITY OF SOME SAVINGS AND SOME UTILITY PROJECTS THAT WE COULD PUT TOWARDS THIS AS WELL IF THERE WAS ANY, ANY OVERAGES GOING FORWARD. BUT AGAIN, IF THIS IS APPROVED AND CONSIDERED BY THE VOTERS, THEN WE BELIEVE IT WOULD BE CARRY US FORWARD FOR THROUGHOUT GOING FORWARD AND WOULD NOT NEED ADDITIONAL PHASES, AT LEAST ON THE SHOP AND THE ADMIN BUILDING. SO. I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. SO CHUCK, YES, REAL QUICK. OBVIOUSLY $8 MILLION DEBT DELTA BETWEEN THE BOND APPROVAL AND WHAT YOU'RE PROJECTING. YOU TALKED ABOUT PARKS COVER STORAGE THAT COULD TAKE PLACE AT A LATER DATE. YES. WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER SIX AND A HALF? 7 MILLION. IS THAT. YEAH, WE WOULD PROBABLY THE BIGGEST IN AREAS IS ON THE SHOP BUILDING. WE WOULD LOOK AT PHASING THAT AND AT LEAST GET THE CORE FUNCTIONS TAKEN CARE OF. AND MAYBE THE FLEET FUNCTIONS COULD BE DONE LATER. AND SO WE WOULD LIKELY REDUCE THE SCOPE OF THAT BUILDING AND THEN SOME OF THE SITE WORK. SO WE HAVE SOME FLEXIBILITY TO BE ABLE TO, TO, TO REDUCE THAT COST. THAT WAS THE PIECE THAT WE WERE LIKE, OKAY, IF FOR INDOOR STORAGE FOR THE WINTER, THAT PIECE ONLY THAT WAS THAT A BIG CHUNK OF THAT. IT WOULD IT WOULD BE I THINK JUST BY SQUARE FOOTAGE WE WOULD JUST HAVE TO REDUCE THERE'S SOME MEZZANINES, THERE'S SOME THINGS, EXTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS WE COULD POSTPONE. SO I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS WE COULD VALUE ENGINEER DOWN TO GET TO THAT NUMBER. SO AND THEN THE MAIN AND THEN THE MAIN BUILDING WOULD STAY PRETTY

[00:50:02]

YES. BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAVE THE CASH. OKAY. TO START. ANY OTHER. LET ME KEEP KEEP YOU NEXT TIME.

THANK YOU. SO REGARDING THE SILO IMPROVEMENTS, WE WERE ASKED TO PROVIDE AN ESTIMATE OF WHAT WOULD BE. THESE ARE WERE ACQUIRED BY THE TOWN TO MAINTAIN AS A LANDMARK. WE'VE SEEN THEIR, AS THEY AGE BEGIN TO FALL INTO DISREPAIR. AND SO THERE ARE SOME SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS THAT NEED TO, TO, TO TAKE PLACE TO MAINTAIN THESE. SO WE DO HAVE ROOF PANELS, YOU KNOW, AS IT RUST STARTING TO BE BLOWN OFF. SO YOU KNOW TO PROTECT IT FROM THE WEATHER CERTAINLY NEED TO REPLACE THE ROOFS. ALSO WE PROPOSE TO WE PROPOSED TO REMOVE THE ELEVATORS AND THE CONVEYORS ON TOP OF THE EXISTING SILOS. AS WE GOT INTO THE CONVERSATION WITH THE BOND COMMITTEE, THE REMOVING THE ELEVATORS IS NOT POPULAR, BUT WE BELIEVE THERE'S SOME OPPORTUNITY THERE WITHIN THESE, WITHIN THIS PROPOSAL TO BE ABLE TO REPAIR THOSE AS WELL AND MAINTAIN THAT. THE DOWNTOWN ADVISORY COMMITTEE DID A REQUEST, A COST ESTIMATE TO BE ABLE TO LIGHT THE SILOS. THIS WAS TO PROVIDE PROVIDE WASH LIGHTING AROUND THREE THE THREE SILOS AND ON THE IN THE ROOF. SO THAT WAS NOT INEXPENSIVE DUE TO THE NUMBER OF LIGHTS. SO WHEN WE ASKED A VENDOR TO PROVIDE A COST ESTIMATE THAT CAME IN JUST UNDER 900,000. SO THAT IS INCLUDED WITHIN THIS TOTAL. SO THE TOTAL ESTIMATES, IF THE ELEVATOR WAS DEMOLISHED, THEN THAT WOULD BE 187. OF COURSE, IF IT'S MAINTAINED, THOSE FUNDS COULD GO TOWARDS, YOU KNOW, ADDING SUPPORT TO THAT AND SEALING IT TO PREVENT RAIN FROM ENTERING THE BUILDING, WHICH CAUSED CAN INCREASE THE POTENTIAL DAMAGE.

THIS TO REMOVE THE CONVEYORS AND REPLACE THE ROOFS. ESTIMATES FOR 68 AND THEN TO COME BACK AND ACTUALLY COAT THE SILOS TO EXTEND THE LIFE AS 255,000. THEN THE WASH LIGHTING, AS MENTIONED IN YOUR LAST SLIDE, 900,000, AND THEN A WROUGHT IRON FENCE TO A IMPROVE WHAT'S THERE, WHICH IS JUST CHAINLINK AND TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SECURITY WAS 30,000. SO THE TOTAL WAS 1.8. AND THEN WE ADDED A CONTINGENCY WHICH COULD GO TOWARDS THE ELEVATOR. IMPROVEMENTS TO COVER THAT EXPENSE FOR A TOTAL OF 2.3 MILLION. SO THANK YOU SIR. ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THIS BRIEF PRESENTATION. OH, SORRY.

WRONG DIRECTION. THERE WE GO. THE PARKS DEPARTMENT'S BOND PROGRAM RECOMMENDATIONS ARE BASED ON INFORMATION WE RECEIVED WHEN WE CONDUCTED A SURVEY AS PART OF THE UPDATE TO OUR PARKS,

[00:55:03]

SO WE'RE RECOMMENDING $15 MILLION FOR AN ACTIVATION PHASE FOR A FUTURE COMMUNITY PARK AT EITHER THE WINDSONG COMMUNITY PARK PROPERTY OR THE DOE BRANCH PARK PROPERTY. THIS WOULD IT WOULD BE ESSENTIALLY A PHASE ONE, AND THE MONEY WOULD COVER SOFT COSTS LIKE DESIGN, AND WOULD INCLUDE ATHLETIC FIELDS WITH SYNTHETIC TURF, PARKING, A PLAYGROUND, AND RESTROOMS. IT WOULD CERTAINLY NOT BE A FULL BUILD OUT OF THE COMMUNITY PARK, BECAUSE THAT WOULD PROBABLY TAKE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 30 AND $40 MILLION, BUT IT WOULD BE A SOLID PHASE ONE. BECAUSE TRAIL PROJECTS WERE SO IMPORTANT TO OUR RESIDENTS. WE'RE RECOMMENDING $2.7 MILLION FOR SEVERAL DIFFERENT TRAIL AND BRIDGE CONNECTION PROJECTS. WE'RE RECOMMENDING $1.5 MILLION TO REPLACE THE WOODEN BRIDGES THAT ARE PART OF THE MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAIL SYSTEM THAT EXISTS OUT IN OLD RANCH PROPERTY. IF YOU LOOK AT THE PHOTO ON THE TOP THERE, THAT'S THE EXISTING BRIDGE THAT GOES OVER THE MAIN PART OF THE CREEK. WE PUT IN NEW ABUTMENTS THIS PAST YEAR, AND YOU CAN SEE THOSE IN THE PHOTO, BUT THE BRIDGES THEMSELVES ARE STILL OUTDATED AND NOT NECESSARY. THEY'RE REALLY NOT SAFE. THE PHOTO ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE TYPE OF FIBERGLASS BRIDGE THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO GO AND REPLACE THESE WITH, I CONSTRUCT I ACTUALLY INSTALLED SOME OF THOSE IN ARLINGTON YEARS AGO WHEN I WORKED THERE. WE DID THREE OF THEM, AND THEY'RE A GOOD PRODUCT BECAUSE THEY'LL LAST FOR DECADES. THEY DON'T RUST OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IN ADDITION TO THE BRIDGE PROJECT, WE'RE RECOMMENDING ANOTHER $1.2 MILLION FOR SOME OTHER KEY TRAIL CONNECTION PROJECTS IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS IN THE TRAIL SYSTEM AROUND TOWN. WE'RE RECOMMENDING $2.5 MILLION FOR SEVERAL DIFFERENT PLAYGROUND DEVELOPMENT AND PLAYGROUND REPLACEMENT PROJECTS THE FRONTIER PARK SOCCER PLAYGROUND, AND WE CALL IT THAT BECAUSE IT'S ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PARK CLOSEST TO THE SOCCER FIELDS. IT'S ONE OF THE OLDER PLAYGROUNDS IN OUR SYSTEM, AND IT'S ALSO VERY HEAVILY USED. THE INFRASTRUCTURE AROUND IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, SO ALL WE REALLY NEED TO DO IS REPLACE THE EQUIPMENT, AND WE WOULD GO IN AND REPLACE THE EQUIPMENT AND PROVIDE SHADE AND PUT IN PLACE SERVICING THE WINDMILL PARK PLAYGROUND AS IT'S CALLED, WHICH IS THE BIG PLAYGROUND IN FRONTIER PARK, CLOSEST TO THE BASEBALL FIELDS. IT IS ONE OF THE OLDER PLAYGROUNDS IN OUR SYSTEM, AND IT IS ALSO THE MOST HEAVILY USED. AND IT'S STARTING TO SHOW ITS AGE AND IT'S IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS AS WELL. SO WE'RE RECOMMENDING $1.3 MILLION THAT WOULD REPLACE ALL THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT AND SOME OF THE NEEDED INFRASTRUCTURE, AND ALSO TO GO IN WITH THE SHADE AND PORT AND PLACE SURFACING. IN ADDITION TO THOSE TWO PLAYGROUNDS, WE'RE RECOMMENDING $600,000 TO INSTALL A SMALL, ACCESSIBLE PLAYGROUND AT THE RIDGE PARK. ETHERIDGE PARK IS IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF TOWN. IT'S UP IN THE WINDSONG COMMUNITY, AND IT WAS DEVELOPED JUST ABOUT A YEAR OR SO AGO, AND WHEN IT WAS DEVELOPED, WE DID NOT HAVE FUNDING FOR PLAYGROUND, SO WE'D LIKE TO GO BACK IN AND PUT A SMALL PLAYGROUND THERE. AND AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, WE PLAN TO PUT IN SHADE STRUCTURES WITH THE EQUIPMENT SO WE DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK AND DO IT AT A LATER TIME. THE RENDERING THERE SHOWS YOU A GOOD EXAMPLE OF HOW WE WOULD LIKE TO USE WHAT'S CALLED INTEGRAL SHADE. IT'S PART OF THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT AND OUR FINAL ITEM, WE'RE RECOMMENDING $3.8 MILLION FOR A PACKAGE THAT WOULD INCLUDE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF PICKLEBALL AND TENNIS COURTS IN PECAN GROVE PARK, PRAIRIE PARK, AND TANNER'S MILL PARK. THE MONEY WOULD COVER SOFT COSTS LIKE DESIGN AND REQUIRED ACCESSIBILITY UPGRADES TO THE SITES. AND WE'RE SELECTING THESE THREE PARKS BECAUSE WE WANT TO KIND OF SPREAD IT ACROSS TOWN AND MAKE IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO GET TO ACCESS TO THE COURTS. THIS IS OUR LIST. IT TOTALS TO $24 MILLION, AND WE WANTED TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THE FACT THAT THESE THESE NUMBERS ARE ADJUSTABLE. IF IT'S FELT BY MAYOR AND COUNCIL THAT WE NEED TO SPEND A LITTLE MORE MONEY IN ONE AREA, NOT AS MUCH IN ANOTHER, WE CAN MAKE ADJUSTMENTS BASED ON THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE GIVING. MAY I ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS? QUESTIONS FOR PARKS. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. AS YOU CAN TELL, A LOT OF WORK AND THOUGHT HAS GONE INTO THE PROCESS. THIS IS NOT AN ACTION ITEM. TONIGHT WE WANT TO PRESENT THE PROPOSALS AND THE TIMING UNDER STATE LAW FOR CALLING THE NOVEMBER ELECTION WILL BE THE AUGUST 12TH, THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. SO IF COUNCIL WISHES TO DISCUSS THIS FURTHER, WE CAN EITHER HAVE IT ON THE AUGUST 12TH WORK SESSION OR CALL A SPECIAL MEETING. OKAY. THANK YOU. I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE TOWN ATTORNEY, JUST FOR YOURSELF, BOB, ON WHAT'S THE NEXT ROLL FOR THE BOND COMMITTEE AND HOW HOW DO THINGS, ASSUMING THE COUNCIL PLACES IT ON THE AGENDA FOR APPROVAL, WHAT ARE THE ROLES OF EVERYONE INVOLVED? THE ROLES, YOU KNOW, THE BOND COMMITTEE OR THE COUNCIL, OR IF YOU JUST SHARE THAT IN TERMS OF

[01:00:05]

AND THEN THE OFFICIAL BOND COMMITTEE STOPS. STAFF WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION TO ANY CITIZEN GROUP REGARDING WHAT THE PROPOSALS ARE, WHAT THEY CAN CONSIST OF, AND WHAT THEY WOULD COST, AND AN INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL MEMBERS MAY ADVOCATE ON THEIR IN THEIR PERSONAL ROLE OR ADVOCATE AGAINST EITHER WAY. SO YEAH. OKAY. THANK YOU. AS A FORMER BOND CHAIRMAN, I RECALL THAT BEING THE WAY WE DID THIS. ALSO, WE DISBANDED THE BOND COMMITTEE AND STARTED A NEW COMMITTEE. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR BOB OR FOR KEVIN AT THIS POINT? THEN I WOULD LIKE TO ADD MY APPRECIATION TO YOU, BOB, AND YOUR ENTIRE STAFF, AS WELL AS ALL OF THE DIRECTORS FOR ALL THE WORK THAT WENT INTO THIS, BUT ESPECIALLY TO OUR CITIZENS, AS KEVIN MENTIONED, THAT THE WORK THAT THEY PUT IN TO GET TO THIS LEVEL, THIS COMMITTEE HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE FOR TEN, TEN MONTHS. SO IT'S NOT A WILLY NILLY. IT WAS A VERY DELIBERATE THOUGHT OUT. KEVIN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR LEADING THIS PARTICULAR COMMITTEE AND FOR ALL OF THOSE WHO ARE WHO HAVE BEEN ON THE COMMITTEE, INCLUDING MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE EFFORT. SO WITH THAT, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

[17. Consider and act upon authorizing the Town Manager to execute a Construction Agreement awarding Competitive Sealed Bid No. 2025-13-B to DDM Construction Corporation, related to construction services for the Coit Road (First-Prosper Trail) Paving and Drainage Improvements project in the amount of $10,377,272 and authorize $500,000 for construction phase contingencies. The total purchase order amount is $10,877,272. (LH)]

[01:05:05]

GREAT. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YES, SIR. THE WHEN I WAS READING THROUGH THE AGENDA ITEM, IT MENTIONS. AS FAR AS BUDGET IMPACTS, THAT THERE'S A $24 MILLION IN, YOU KNOW, INTO THE CAPITAL ACCOUNT. AND THIS IS ONE OF THE PHASES. IS THE MONEY'S ALREADY SET ASIDE. AND MAYBE THIS IS A QUESTION FOR FINANCE, BUT IS THE MONEY'S ALREADY SITTING IN THE ACCOUNT.

THAT'S I WAS CONFUSED BY THE WORDING. IT'S. AND IF THIS IS ONE OF THE PHASES WHAT YOU MENTIONED, IT CAME WITH WRITING WHERE WE WERE TARGETING. BUT THEN DOES THAT MEAN THAT THERE'S THE SECOND PHASE? THERE'S ENOUGH MONEY FOR THAT ALREADY. THERE IS. YES. SO BETWEEN THE BOND PROGRAM AND SOME FUNDS THAT WE GOT FROM COLLIN COUNTY, WE DO HAVE THAT WHOLE $24 MILLION POT, THIS FIRST PHASE BEING THE 10 MILLION, LEAVES 14 MILLION FOR THE NEXT PHASE FROM PROSPER TRAIL TO FRONTIER. THIS FIRST PHASE, ACTUALLY, FROM AN ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION STANDPOINT WITH SOME OF THE DRAINAGE STRUCTURES IN THE CREEK THAT KEEPS WASHING OUT, WE HAVE SOME LARGER IMPACTS THERE. WE'VE GOT A LOT MORE SIDEWALK ON THIS PHASE, BECAUSE WE ARE PUTTING IN SIDEWALK THROUGH THE PARK, THE TRAIL, RATHER NOT SIDEWALK, BUT THE TRAIL ADJACENT TO RAYMOND PARK TO GET EVERYBODY BACK DOWN ALL THE WAY TO FIRST STREET. SO THERE'S A THERE'S FUNDING WISE, THIS THIS IS ACTUALLY A LITTLE BIGGER PIECE THAN THAT NORTHERN PIECE. SO YEAH, OF THAT 24, WE'LL STILL HAVE 14 MILLION TO DO. THE NORTH SECTION OF ROADWAY, WHICH WILL ALSO INCLUDE SOME SIGNAL WORK. SO THERE IT SHOULD BALANCE OUT TO ABOUT ABOUT THE SAME. OKAY. AND WHAT'S THE TIMELINE ON THE NEXT PHASE. THE NEXT PHASE. WE'RE FINISHING UP THE PLANS. WE'VE GOT TO GET TEX DOT'S APPROVAL AND BLESSING ON THE LOCATIONS FOR THE TEMPORARY SIGNAL. NOT TEMPORARY, BUT THE RELOCATED SIGNAL POLES FOR THE SPAN WIRE OF THE INTERSECTION THAT WILL COME IN AHEAD OF THEIR FRONTIER ROADWAY PROJECT. OKAY. AND WE'RE GETTING IT OUT TO BID THIS FALL. WE ANTICIPATE IT BRINGING IT TO COUNCIL. EITHER THAT FIRST ONE IN NOVEMBER OR THE FIRST ONE IN DECEMBER, DEPENDING ON WHEN THE ACTUAL BID DATES HIT AND HOW NEGOTIATIONS PLAY OUT. SO IT'LL BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, ABOUT A SIX MONTH DELAY. IT WOULD BE IT WOULD THEY WOULD BE OVERLAPPING. YES. IT'LL YEAH. JUST YOU KNOW, BY JANUARY, FEBRUARY THE WHOLE THING WILL BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. YOU MENTIONED THAT THERE WERE YOU HAD ALL THE RIGHT OF WAY DONE FOR THIS PHASE. DO YOU NOT HAVE. OH, NO, WE HAVE RIGHT OF WAY FOR THE WHOLE PROJECT. OH YOU DO. YES YES, YES, YEAH WE DO. OKAY. YEAH.

YEAH. WE DO HAVE RIGHT OF WAY FOR BOTH SECTIONS. OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION. AND JUST A QUESTION READING THROUGH THE AGREEMENT. IT'S TEN DAYS AFTER RECEIVING NOTICE TO PROCEED. THEY'RE GOING TO THEY SHOULD BE GETTING WORK STARTED. IS THAT WHAT I SEE? YEAH. AFTER WE GIVE THEM NOTICE TO PROCEED. SO NOT NOT TEN DAYS FROM TODAY BUT TEN DAYS, WE HAVE A PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETING. THEY LOOK AT THEIR MATERIALS, YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY. ALL THAT CAN CAN GET GET IN FOR THE PIPE. THERE'S A LOT OF DRAINAGE WORK THAT HAPPENS ON THIS SECTION WITH THE CREEK. SO GETTING THOSE BIG CULVERTS AND ALL THAT. BUT THEY'LL START TO MOBILIZE. I WOULD SAY WHAT WE'RE ROUGHLY END OF JULY, SO WE WON'T BE STARTING THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. SO THAT'LL BE GOOD. WE'LL HAVE A COUPLE WEEKS OF SCHOOL UNDER OUR BELT FOR ALL OF THAT. SO I WOULD ANTICIPATE LATE AUGUST, EARLY SEPTEMBER TO REALLY START SEEING THEM GOING. AND I DON'T RECALL SEEING WHERE THE COMPLETION IF THERE'S ANY LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR NOT GETTING IT COMPLETED ON TIME. THIS PROJECT DOES HAVE $1,000 A DAY FOR LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. OKAY. OKAY. AND I THINK THAT'S THAT'S THE LEGAL NUMBERS. IS THAT RIGHT? THAT'S THE MOST WE COULD DO. SO YES, WE WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS PROJECT EVERY SINGLE DAY. YES I KNOW. SO YEAH WITHOUT A DOUBT I KNOW EVERYBODY IS DEFINITELY READY FOR THIS TO BE IN AND OVER AND DONE. YEAH. YES YES. YEAH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR LINDA. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. DO I HAVE A MOTION ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM. YES.

AGENDA ITEM 17 MOTION BY GREG, SECOND BY AMY BARTLEY. ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION PASSES

[18. Consider and act upon authorizing the Town Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement between Geotex Engineering, LLC, and the Town of Prosper, Texas, related to professional construction materials testing and observation services for the Coit Road (First - Prosper Trail) Paving and Drainage Improvements project for $239,028. (LH)]

[01:10:03]

[20. Consider and act upon authorizing the Town Manager to execute Change Order No. 3 to Dean Construction to include field lighting for the multipurpose fields and all required appurtenances, new electrical service, labor, and materials required to construct and install the multipurpose lighting at Raymond Community Park in the amount of $1,932,621. (DB)]

I'LL JUST WELL EVERYBODY ELSE IS WORKING ON IT. THIS CHANGE ORDER I BELIEVE I SAW TAKES THE TOTAL COST FOR THIS PARTICULAR PARK UP TO $26.7 MILLION. YES, SIR. I BELIEVE THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY.

DID THAT INCLUDE THE LAND? NO, SIR. THE LAND WAS DONATED TO THE WELL. NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE. I THINK WE PURCHASED IT FROM THE SEXTON FAMILY YEARS AGO. SORRY. AND WE HAVE ADVERTISED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME THAT THIS. THESE WOULD ALL BE LIGHTED. AND THIS IS. YES. LIGHTS OUT THERE AT RAYMOND PARK ON THE TENNIS AND PICKLEBALL COURTS, CORRECT? OH, NO, SIR, THOSE THOSE ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION CURRENTLY. BUT FOR MANY YEARS WE HAD A LARGE SIGN AT THE INTERSECTION OF FIRST STREET AND COURT ROAD LETTING FOLKS KNOW THAT THIS WOULD BE LIGHTED. AND WE HAVE.

AND RIGHT NOW WE HAVE SIGNS OUT OF OUR OTHER PROPERTIES THAT WILL BE COMMUNITY PARKS, LETTING FOLKS KNOW THAT THOSE ARE GOING TO BE LIGHTED SOMEDAY. I'M MISSPOKE. WE ARE THERE ARE LIGHTS GOING IN ON THOSE PARTICULAR AREAS. YES. NOT THAT'S CORRECT. JUST FOR THE MULTI-PURPOSE FIELDS. YES, SIR. OKAY. THANK YOU. SORRY. YEAH. LIGHTING. WE'VE ALREADY COVERED LIGHTING FOR THE BASEBALL FIELDS AND THE COURTS AND THE WALKWAYS OUT THERE FOR SAFETY. THIS WOULD BE ADDITIONAL LIGHTING FOR JUST THE MULTI-PURPOSE FIELDS. OKAY, SO MY QUESTION HAS TO DO WITH ATION COST. AND THIS IS JUST FOR, JUST FOR CLARITY, IT LOOKED LIKE IN THE PACKET THE QUOTE WAS 11. 3 MILLION ESCALATION FROM APRIL 2025 TO NOW WAS $200,000 15% ESCALATION.

DO WE KNOW IF THE FIRST OF ALL, DO WE KNOW IF THE LIGHTING QUOTE IS IN LINE WITH WHAT WHAT WE SPENT ON THE BALL FIELDS? BECAUSE THOSE LIGHTS, SAME COMPANY, THEY DID THE LIGHTS ON THE BALL FIELDS. AND THEN CAN YOU JUST KIND OF GO OVER THE ESCALATION? BASICALLY, COSTS HAVE GONE UP ESSENTIALLY BECAUSE OF THE TARIFFS THAT EVERYONE'S DEALING WITH. WE WERE TOLD THIS MORNING WE HAD A CONVERSATION WITH A CONTRACTOR, AND THEIR COSTS FOR FENCING ARE GOING TO GO UP 45% THIS NEXT MONTH. SO EVERYTHING JUST KEEPS GOING UP. WE'RE OKAY ON THAT. THAT DOESN'T AFFECT US. THE FENCING COST, WE'RE GOOD ON THAT. BUT COSTS JUST KEEP GOING UP. SO THE 15% IS JUST AN ESCALATION BECAUSE COSTS HAVE CONTINUED TO GO UP. SO THAT'S NOT AN ANTICIPATED ESCALATION COST LIKE FOR THE CONTRACTOR. THEY ALREADY HAVE THOSE COST INCREASES TODAY. YES MA'AM. THAT'S CORRECT OKAY. THAT'S THAT WAS MY QUESTION. I JUST WAS A LITTLE STICKER SHOCKED. BALL FIELD LIGHTING IS SHOCKINGLY EXPENSIVE. IT'S THE MOST EXPENSIVE COMPONENT OF THIS PROJECT. WELL, I WAS I WAS STICKER SHOCKED AT 15% AND BASICALLY TWO MONTHS. RIGHT. I MEAN THAT'S WELL THAT'S A LOT. I MEAN IT'S $200,000. SO I WAS JUST A LITTLE BIT I WAS A LITTLE BIT SURPRISED BY THAT. BUT I UNDERSTAND NOW. OKAY. OKAY. I'LL SIMPLY BRING FORWARD THE TOWN

[01:15:01]

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF OPTIONS. AGAIN, THE STAFF'S PREFERRED OPTION IS TO MOVE FORWARD BECAUSE IF WE RELY ON DEAN CONSTRUCTION, OUR GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE PROVIDER, THEN THEY WILL FULLY COORDINATE THE CONSTRUCTION AND THE INSTALLATION OF THE POLES AND THE LIGHTS, ALONG WITH THE SOD AND THE IRRIGATION. IF WE SPLIT THAT OUT, WE COULD, BUT I CAN ALMOST GUARANTEE YOU A DELAY. AND AGAIN, AT THIS POINT, WE HAVE NOT ACCEPTED THE CONSTRUCTION SITE. IT IS THEIR SITE TO WORK ON. AND SO AGAIN, THAT'S GOING TO REQUIRE COORDINATION. AND AGAIN I HAVE WE'VE NOT SPOKEN TO DEAN ABOUT SPLITTING THIS UP SEPARATELY. IN OTHER WORDS WE PROJECT MANAGE THIS OURSELVES. THERE WOULD JUST BE A LOT OF QUITE A BIT OF COORDINATION BETWEEN US AND THE CONTRACTOR. SO I THINK IT IS OUR STILL A PREFERRED METHOD TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS. I WILL TELL YOU, IN TALKING WITH WITH KURT EARLIER, THAT 1.9 MILLION THAT DOES INCLUDE 230,000, I BELIEVE IN 281,080 1000 AND OWNER'S CONTINGENCY, WHICH AGAIN IS OUR CONTINGENCY FOR UNFORESEEN ISSUES. HOWEVER, JUST BASED ON THE SITE'S BEEN DUG UP, IT'S BEEN I MEAN, THE LIKELIHOOD OF FINDING SOMETHING UNFORESEEN. NOT SAYING I CAN'T GUARANTEE, BUT THE LIKELIHOOD OF FINDING SOMETHING THAT'S JUST EXTRAORDINARY THAT WASN'T PLANNED FOR. IT'S HIGHLY UNLIKELY. SO AGAIN, THAT 1.9 DOES HAVE 287,000 AND OWNER'S CONTINGENCY. SO THE PROJECT REALLY IS COMING IN AT 1.6 MILLION. NOT MAKING IT ANY BETTER. IT'S STILL 15% HIGHER, BUT IT IS COMING IN LOWER THAN THE 1.9 MILLION. OKAY. THANK YOU. YOU KNOW, THE CIP COMMITTEE ALSO VETTED THIS AND WE AGREED THAT WE NEEDED THESE LOTS. AND I'LL LET MY COLLEAGUES TALK SPEAK TO IT AS WELL. I THINK FOR ME IT WAS JUST THE STICKER SHOCK OF SEEING THAT ESCALATION. OF COURSE, IN JUST A FEW MONTHS, I MEAN, YOU EXPECT ESCALATION OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS, BUT IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS, THAT'S JUST CRAZY. SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTOOD WHAT OUR OPTIONS WERE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I, I THINK WE HAVE TO DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE HERE. SO. BUT I APPRECIATE THE TIME. YES, MA'AM. YEAH. THANK THANK YOU FOR THAT.

FOR BOTH OF YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER REY IS OBVIOUSLY NOT ABLE TO BE HERE THIS EVENING, BUT I WANT TO SHARE SOME COMMENTS HE GAVE ME THAT HE WOULD PROBABLY NOT BE IN FAVOR OF THIS CHANGE ORDER WITH SOME OF THE FUNDS, AND HE WOULD RATHER SEE THOSE FUNDS BE USED TO SHORE UP OUR HEALTH PLAN, WHERE WE HAVE SOME ISSUES THAT WE NEED TO WORK ON. SO I JUST PASS THAT ON ON HIS BEHALF. I WOULD ASK THAT UNDER THE GEO, WHERE IT SAYS FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR THE GEO BOND INTEREST, OR IS THAT GEO BONDS THAT ARE ALLOCATED SPECIFICALLY TO PARKS, OR IS THAT FROM THE BONDS? OVERALL, I'M NOT CERTAIN ABOUT THAT BECAUSE, ROBIN, ARE YOU ARE YOU AWARE MY UNDERSTANDING THE FIRST YEAR. THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. THANK YOU. THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT CO-MINGLING THAT TYPE OF STUFF. THANK YOU. THANK THANK YOU FOR THAT. THIS IS A VERY RELUCTANT, UNWILLING IN MANY CASES IN FOR ME. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE POINT OUT THAT WITHOUT THE FUNDING THIS IS A VERY HARD PILL TO SWALLOW. SO TO OUR OUR FRIENDS AT PASO, THANK YOU FOR THE EFFORT TO BE GOOD PARTNERS AND FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN. I'M I'M NOT VERY I DON'T KNOW THE RIGHT WAY TO EXPRESS MY DISPLEASURE. IT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO PROBABLY NEED TO JUST MOVE ON FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY, BUT THIS ENTIRE PROJECT OVERALL HAS BEEN DIFFICULT IN MANY AREAS, AND I THINK WE'RE GOING TO EXPERIENCE SOME, SOME MORE DIFFICULTY WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WELLS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. SO I'M GOING TO BE IN FAVOR OF THIS PARTICULAR ITEM, BUT IT'S A RELUCTANTLY. SO I DON'T THINK THE CIP COMMITTEE.

I'LL LET YOU SPEAK. CAMERON WOULD DISAGREE WITH THAT. I THINK IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE PASO FUNDS, WE WOULDN'T HAVE EVEN ENTERTAINED IT. I THINK OUR ULTIMATE AGREEMENT TO DO IT WAS

[01:20:05]

[19. Consider and act upon authorizing the Town Manager to execute an agreement between the Town of Prosper and the Prosper Athletic Soccer Association (PASO) to accept a donation in the amount of $950,000 to be used to supplement the costs for the addition of field lighting for the multipurpose fields at Raymond Community Park. (DB)]

[01:25:03]

YESTERDAY AT NOON. SO STAND BY FOR SOME OF THOSE. SOME OF THOSE ITEMS DO AFFECT US AND SOME OF OUR ITEMS. DOWNTOWN ADVISORY COMMITTEE. YEAH WE MET I THINK TRYING TO REMEMBER WE DISCUSSED TEMPORARY SIGNAGE OR COVERING FOR THE VACANT BUILDING BETWEEN THE FORMER WHITE HOUSE AND THE BANK ON STREET DOWNTOWN, AND THERE WERE IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING THAT FORWARD. WE GOT SOME UPDATES ON SOME OF THE PARKING SOLUTIONS THAT WE ARE WORKING ON, AND I THINK THOSE ARE THE MAIN ITEMS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT. OKAY. THANK YOU. THE FINANCE COMMITTEE MET AND YEAH, I BELIEVE WE MET SEVERAL TIMES REFERENCING BUDGET AND BUDGET ITEMS WITH A REVIEW OF THE COMPENSATION STUDY, HEALTHCARE PLAN. AND. THE OVERALL BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR. YEAH, THE CIP COMMITTEE MET AND OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A LOT THAT WE JUST COVERED IN THIS PARTICULAR BOND PROPOSAL. YEAH WE WENT THROUGH THE RAYMOND PARK CHANGE ORDERS. THERE'S ALSO ANOTHER ONE COMING.

SO WE'VE GONE THROUGH THAT AS WELL. WENT THROUGH SORT OF A UPDATE ON WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH ALL OF OUR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS. STARTED TO TAKE A LOOK AT NEXT YEAR'S THIS NEXT BUDGET CYCLE. CIP PROJECTS TALKED ABOUT CAPITAL, DEDICATED FUNDS, TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THE ITEMS YOU GUYS HAD TALKED ABOUT IN FINANCE, REGARDING PERSONNEL COMING TO THE CIP SIDE AND DON'T HAVE A NEXT MEETING SCHEDULED, BUT SHOULD BE HERE IN THE NEXT. YEAH, A COUPLE OF WEEKS. GOING BACK TO FINANCE REAL QUICKLY, I DID THE TOWN AND TOWN STAFF AND MYSELF MET WITH THE RATING AGENCIES LAST WEEK, AND I FORWARDED TO THE EVERYONE ON THE COUNCIL AND THE EDC, THE BOND RATING REVIEW BOOK. SO THAT IS SOME OF THE BEST, MOST COMPREHENSIVE LOOK AT EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE TOWN OF PROSPER THAT YOU CAN GET A HOLD OF. SO IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO READ IT, IT'S VERY EXTENSIVE AND VERY WELL DONE. ALSO, ANY ANY OTHER COMMITTEES REPORTS? NOPE.
