[00:00:03]
YOUR DATE SALES TAX COLLECTIONS WERE $303,677 HIGHER THAN YEAR TO DATE LAST YEAR.
[4B Street Improvement/Economic Development Corporation Meeting *This meeting was joined in progress*]
TO DATE OUR SALES TAX COLLECTIONS FOR THE FOURTH BEAT FOR FOUR B WAS UP ABOUT 19.03%.WE HAVE ACTUALLY BUDGETED 3.3 MILLION IN SALES TAX REVENUE FOR THE YEAR WE ARE PROJECTING TO END THE YEAR, ACTUALLY AT ABOUT 3.7 MILLION THAT'S THREE MINUTES.
IT WAS FOR THE FOUR BEEF OVERALL, THE FUN ANTICIPATES ENDING TOTAL REVENUES.
AND WHEN I SAY TELEWORK REVENUES, I'M REFERRING TO SALES TAX, INTEREST EARNINGS, AND ANY OTHER REVENUE THAT THE FUND TAKES IN FOR THE YEAR, WE ARE ANTICIPATING COLLECTING ABOUT 3.9 MILLION OR 624,000 HIGHER THAN WHAT WE BUDGETED IN THE FUND.
AND THEN WHEN I SAY THE FUND, KEEP IN MIND, ALL THE REVENUES FOR THE FUND WAS 3 MILLION, 310,000 IS WHAT WHAT'S BUDGETED IN OUR FOUR BEEF FUND.
SO WE'RE ANTICIPATING ENDING THE YEAR AT ABOUT 18% OVER THAT BUDGET, 18.8, 7% OVER THE BUDGET, MOVING ON TO OUR EXPENDITURES WE HAVE AFTER WE AMENDED OUR BUDGET, OR EARLIER THIS YEAR, WE HAVE TOTAL EXPENDITURES IN THE BUDGET OF ABOUT 4 MILLION, $470,088 IN BUDGETED EXPENDITURES.
ACTUALLY, AS OF THE END OF MAY, WE'VE SPENT ABOUT 1.4 MILLION.
SO WE'VE ONLY SPENT ABOUT 33% OF OUR BUDGET.
HOWEVER, WE'VE GOT A LOT OF PROJECTS THAT ARE ACTUALLY UNDERWAY.
AND SHORTLY AFTER MY PRESENTATION, THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR AND OUR CFO WILL GO INTO THE DETAIL RELATED TO SOME OF THOSE PROJECTS.
A LOT OF EXPENDITURES ARE GOING TO BE HITTING IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS.
SO YOU'RE GOING TO SEE QUITE A FEW EXPENDITURES HIT BEFORE YEAR END.
WE ARE ACTUALLY PROJECTING TO END THE YEAR AT 4.4 MILLION OR $4,455,570 IN TOTAL EXPENDITURES.
SO WE'RE GOING TO BE SLIGHTLY UNDER BUDGET.
I KNOW THAT'S A LOT OF EXPENDITURES FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR, BUT BASED ON ALL THE PROJECTS THAT ARE IN THE WORKS, WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO PROBABLY HIT THAT THIS YEAR.
WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO MAKE SURE WE STAY, LIKE I SAID, SLIGHTLY UNDER BUDGET.
WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE REPORT, OVERALL, OUR REVENUES EXCEED, EXCUSE ME, OUR EXPENDITURES EXCEED OUR REVENUES BY ABOUT $500,000.
AND THAT WAS PLANNED AS PART OF PULLING DOWN OUR FUND BALANCE TO IMPLEMENT A LOT OF THOSE RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS.
WE'RE TRYING TO GET A LOT OF PROJECTS COMPLETED THIS YEAR AND OFF TO A GOOD START NEXT YEAR.
OVERALL THOUGH, WE'RE STILL EXPECTING TO HAVE A REALLY HEALTHY RESERVE.
WE WERE ANTICIPATING A RESERVE IN THE FRONT OF ABOUT 3 MILLION, 400 AND, AND 16,000.
THAT'S GOING TO BE SLIGHTLY ABOUT 2 MILLION HIGHER THAN OUR REQUIRED RESERVE DESERVED OF 1,327,000.
THAT 1,327,000 IS REQUIRED IN RELATION TO OUR DEBT SERVICE THAT WE TO THE DEBT WE JUST ISSUED LAST AUGUST.
THE CFO IS GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT AS THEY TALK ABOUT THE 2023 BUDGET, BUT THAT RESERVE REQUIREMENT IS BASED ON ALL THAT DEBT.
WELL, THE $6 MILLION DEBT THAT WE ISSUED IN AUGUST OF 2021.
SO THAT KIND OF GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF HOW WE'RE PROJECTING TO END THE YEAR.
AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE AT THIS TIME.
UM, SO ANY QUESTIONS BY THE BOARD HERE? UM, I DO HAVE A FEW, SO, UM, I WAS JUST A LOT OF, UM, NEW FACES UP HERE, UM, FOR THIS FOUR B BOARD.
UM, WOULD I BE ABLE TO GET, UH, JIMMY MAYBE WOULD HAVE BEEN HELPED ME OUT WITH THIS? CAN YOU TALK ABOUT, A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE HISTORY OF WHERE WE CAME FROM AND HOW WE GOT TO THIS POINT? UM, RIGHT NOW? YES, SIR.
WELL, HISTORICALLY THE, UH, THE CITY, ESPECIALLY WITH STREET PROJECTS HAS HAD MORE OF A PAY AS YOU GO.
UM, AND BASICALLY EACH YEAR WE WOULD HAVE A CONTRACT WITH TARRANT COUNTY AND WE WOULD, WE WOULD DO OTHER PROJECTS AS WELL, BUT THE BULK OF IT WAS JUST PAY AS YOU GO.
SO WHAT HAPPENED WAS, UH, THIS LAST YEAR, THE COUNCIL LOOKED AT DOING BASICALLY, UM, USING OUR ANNUAL SALES TAX COLLECTIONS AS COLLATERAL TO ISSUE DEBT BECAUSE THE INTEREST RATES AT THE TIME WERE VERY, VERY LOW.
SO WE WERE ABLE, BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY STREETS THAT NEED TO BE DONE.
AND SO WE HAD A LIST OF ALL THE STREETS BASED ON AN ANALYSIS.
AND BASICALLY IF WE DID PAY AS YOU GO, IT WOULD TAKE 50 YEARS GIVE OR TAKE.
AND BY THE TIME WE GOT HALFWAY THROUGH THE LIST WOULD BE TIME TO START OVER ALMOST.
AND SO BY DOING THAT, WE WERE ABLE TO DO, UM, MAJOR THOROUGHFARES AND OVER 40 RESIDENTIAL STREETS.
SO WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE A HUGE, HUGE DENT.
AND THAT'S THE FIRST TIME IT'S BEEN APPROACHED LIKE THAT QUITE SOME TIME.
AND IT'S WORKED OUT VERY WELL.
IN FACT, WITH THE EXTRA SALES TAX COLLECTIONS, UM,
[00:05:01]
WE'VE LOOKED AT BEING ABLE TO DO EVEN MORE ROADS.AND, UM, AND THEN ALSO ONE OF THE THINGS WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE HAD A VERY HEALTHY FUND BALANCE.
AND, UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S A, IT'S A, IT'S A POLICY ISSUE, BUT FUND BALANCE IS GOOD BECAUSE YOU WANT THAT SECURITY, BUT IT CAN ALMOST BE PERCEIVED AS IRRESPONSIBLE WHEN YOU HAVE A FUND BALANCE IT'S EQUAL TO ALMOST A YEAR OF, UH, COLLECTIONS BECAUSE THAT MONEY IS JUST SITTING THERE WHEN WE HAVE NEEDS THAT ARE INCREASING, YOU KNOW, IN, IN TERMS OF COSTS.
UM, SO BASICALLY WHAT, YOU KNOW, WHAT OUR CITY MANAGER WAS JUST SAYING IS THAT IT WASN'T FEASIBLE, UH, BEFORE JUST PAYING MY CASH.
THERE WAS NO WAY WE WERE GOING TO GET ALL THE ROADS HAVE DONE, UM, AND BE PROUD OF OUR CITY BASICALLY.
SO WE TOOK THIS NEW APPROACH, UM, CREATING THE CIP FIVE-YEAR PLAN.
AND SO WE'RE IN YEAR TWO OF IT.
UM, AND SO THIS IS WHERE IT KIND OF WHERE WE'RE HEADED, UM, GOING, UM, I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU THOUGH, SINCE I'M NEW AS WELL, EVEN THOUGH I'M PART OF THE COUNCIL I NEW HERE, UM, FOR, WE HAVE A RESERVE LIMIT OF THE 1.3.
AND IN THIS ONE THIS TIME WE HAVE WE'RE PROJECTING AROUND A ACCESS OF AROUND 2 MILLION.
UM, WAS THAT, WAS THAT OUR GOAL? LET ME PUT IT THAT WAY.
LAST YEAR'S BUDGET WAS OUR GOAL TO BE AROUND, UH, 2 MILLION ACCESS.
WE ANTICIPATE HAVING THAT MUCH ACCESS AS WE, WHEN WE LOOKED AT, UH, WHEN WE AMENDED THE BUDGET FOR THE RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS GOING FOR THE WEEK, YOU COULD STILL SEE IN OUR, AND I KNOW YOU DIDN'T SEE THIS BEFORE, BUT YOU, EVERYONE COULD SEE IN OUR FORECAST WHERE WE WERE STILL GOING TO HAVE REALLY HEALTHY RESERVES.
AND AT THAT TIME WE WERE SHOWING LIKE THE PERCENTAGE OF FUND BALANCE, WHEREAS WE'RE FOCUSING, UH, NOW IT'S MORE DRIVEN BY THE DEBT WE JUST ISSUED.
SO THAT 1.3 MEAN THAT'S DRIVEN, THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEBT.
WE WANT TO HAVE ENOUGH, UH, RESERVES TO COVER THOSE DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS.
BUT YES, WHEN WE SHOWED THAT FORECAST BEFORE, AND I CAN'T SAY IT WAS EXACTLY TO ME AND OVER, BUT WE DID SHOW LIKE 155% RESERVE BALANCES AT THE TIME.
SO WAS, IT'S KIND OF WHERE WE WANT TO BE, UM, AT THE END OF EACH BUDGET CYCLE, UM, KIND OF HAVING THAT, HAVING THAT CUSHION, IF YOU WILL, OF, YOU KNOW, AROUND 2 MILLION OR, OR WE WANT TO HAVE THE CUSHION, THE RESERVE, THE 1.3 MILLION TO COVER OUR DEBT SERVICE.
I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT ANYTHING EXTRA, ANYTHING EXTRA? I THINK MY PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR IS TRYING TO GET STREETS AND TOWNS ABANDONED AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN TO, TO GET THOSE STREETS.
AND THAT'S, THAT'S WHERE I'M COMING FROM.
CAUSE I LOOK AT THE 2 MILLION, UM, OVER OUR RESERVES, I'M GOING WELL, LIKE WHY DIDN'T WE USE IT? I PROMISE YOU IN HER NEXT REPORT, SHE'S GOING TO SHOW YOU OUT AND I KNOW WHERE THIS IS GOING.
SO I JUST WANTED TO SET, I WANTED TO SET THE STAGE FOR THAT.
UH, NEXT WE HAVE RECEIVED STAFF SUPPORT OF SCHOOL YEAR 20 21, 22, UH, APPROVED PROJECTS.
AND WE HAVE MS. CHERYL TAYLOR.
PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE STREET IMPROVEMENT, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, OR FOR B BOARD, WE HAVE SEVERAL NEW FACES.
I'M THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS.
I'D ALSO LIKE TO INTRODUCE OUR STAFF, UH, THE PUBLIC WORK STAFF THAT'S HERE THIS EVENING.
HE'S OUR PUBLIC WORKS OPERATIONS MANAGER.
STACY SAVINI IS OUR PUBLIC WORKS OFFICE MANAGER.
AND WE ALSO HAVE, UH, JOHN POOLE, WHO IS OUR CATALYST, CHRIS TECO, WHO IS OUR, UH, STREET AND DRAINAGE.
SUPERINTENDENT IS OUT ON HARWOOD ROAD THIS EVENING.
THIS IS THE OUTLINE FOR THIS EVENING'S MEETING.
THE FIRST BULLET IS A REVIEW OF THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR PROJECTS AND AN AMENDMENT TO THE APPROVED FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN.
THESE ARE ITEMS FOUR ON FOUR AND FIVE ON YOUR AGENDA.
THE SECOND BULLET IS ITEM NUMBER SIX ON YOUR AGENDA.
SO WE'LL START WITH ITEMS FOUR AND FIVE TO GIVE YOU SOME PERSPECTIVE ON WHAT'S GOING ON THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
THIS IS A MAP OF ALL OF THE ACTIVE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE WORK ON, THAT WE HAVE GOING ON RIGHT NOW.
THE MAGENTA LINES ARE PROJECTS ON THE CITY'S THOROUGHFARES, THE LIGHT BLUE PROJECTS OR NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE EITHER UNDER CON UNDER DESIGN OR UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
AND WE'LL BE MOVING TO CONSTRUCTION SOON.
THE DOTS THROUGHOUT THE MAP SHOWS WORK ORDERS FOR CONCRETE REPAIRS THAT THE CITY'S CONCRETE CONTRACTOR CONTINUES TO ADDRESS ANY SIDEWALK REPAIR LOCATIONS ON THIS LE IN THE MAP THAT ARE NOT COMPLETED EACH FISCAL YEAR CONTINUE TO ROLL OVER TO THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR.
FISCAL YEAR 2021 HAS BEEN A VERY BUSY YEAR FOR STREETS AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
[00:10:02]
SINCE WE HAVE SEVERAL NEW BOARD MEMBERS, I'D LIKE TO PROVIDE SOME BACKGROUND TO GET EVERYONE UP TO SPEED ON HOW WE ARRIVED, WHERE WE ARE TODAY.SO IN JUNE OF 2021 STAFF PRESENTED THE STREET IMPROVEMENT, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, STRATEGIC PLAN.
THIS WAS THE STRATEGIC PLAN THAT WE, THAT WE BROUGHT BEFORE THE BOARD, THE LEFT COLUMN LISTS THE SHORT TERM GOALS, THE FOUR B BOARD APPROVAL OF THAT FIVE-YEAR CIP AND THE BOND ISSUANCE FOR THOROUGHFARE PROJECTS WERE BOTH ACCOMPLISHED IN FISCAL YEAR 2021.
THE LONG-TERM GOALS ARE ON THE RIGHT AND THEY ARE TO CONSIDER A NEW STREET ASSESSMENT TO RECALIBRATE NEEDS FOR FUTURE PROJECTS, CONSIDER EXPANDING THE MENU OF MAINTENANCE OPTIONS FOR STREET MAINTENANCE PROGRAM AND ANNUALLY RECONFIRM AND REPRIORITIZE FIVE-YEAR STREET LIST.
IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR, THE FOUR B BOARD APPROVED A BUDGET AMENDMENT TO ALLOW STAFF TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE STREET ASSESSMENT A YEAR EARLY, THE DATA COLLECTION WAS COMPLETED LAST MONTH AND IMS WHO IS THE FIRM THAT'S PROVIDING THE ASSESSMENT IS CURRENTLY REVIEWING THE DATA AND WILL PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS ON STREET PRIORITIZATION.
LATER THIS YEAR, THOSE RESULTS IN A DRAFT REPORT WILL BE PRESENTED TO THIS BOARD AT YOUR JANUARY BOARD MEETING, ALSO APPROVED BY THE BOARD IN THE JANUARY MEETING WAS A TRIAL APPLICATION OF A NEW MAINTENANCE OPTION FOR THE, FOR CITY STREETS.
THE APPLICATION OF A HIGH DENSITY MINERAL BOND IS A SEALANT APPLIED TO STREETS THAT ARE IN GOOD CONDITION, AND IT PRESERVES THE EXISTING ASPHALT.
WE HAVE PHOTOS OF THAT APPLICATION LATER IN THIS PRESENTATION, THE FINAL ITEM ON THE LONG-TERM PLAN IS TO ANNUALLY RECONFIRM AND REPRIORITIZE STREETS AND THE FIVE-YEAR CIP LIST.
ITEM FIVE ON THIS EVENING'S AGENDA IS AN AMENDMENT TO THE FIVE-YEAR CIP THAT WILL NEED YOUR APPROVAL FOR THE REPRIORITIZATION OF STREETS REPRIORITIZE, WHERE WE PRIORITIZING OF STREETS WILL BE PERFORMED EACH FISCAL YEAR BASED ON FACTORS SUCH AS UTILITY NEEDS AND FUNDING CAPACITY.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE STRATEGIC PLAN BEFORE I MOVE FORWARD? OKAY.
SO LET'S START WITH STREET PRESERVATION.
THE CITY'S CRACK SEAL PROGRAM CONSISTS OF BLOWING OUT THE DEBRIS FROM EXISTING CRACKS AND APPLYING A MELTED MIXTURE OF ASPHALT AND RUBBER THAT IS APPLIED TO CRACKS TO SEAL THEM OFF FROM, FROM TAKING ON WATER THAT SEEPS INTO THE SUBGRADE AND ACCELERATES DETERIORATION OF THE PAVEMENT.
FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, THE CITY HAS UTILIZED AND INTER LOCAL AGREEMENT WITH GRAND PRAIRIE TO PERFORM THIS WORK.
THIS YEAR, A TOTAL OF 53 STREETS WERE CRACK SEALED IN JANUARY, INCLUDING SEVERAL NEIGHBORHOODS IN PREPARATION OF THE APPLICATION OF THE HIGH DENSITY, MINERAL BOND PRESERVATION TREATMENT.
THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE LOCATION WHERE THE APPROVED TRIAL APPLICATION OF THE HA FIVE PRESSER B PRESERVATION TREATMENT WAS PERFORMED.
THE APPLICATION OF THE SEAL IS SPECIFICALLY FORMULATED FOR THE PRESERVATION OF ASPHALT STREETS THAT ARE IN GOOD STRUCTURAL CONDITION IS A MAINTENANCE TECHNIQUE THAT BRIDGES THE GAP BETWEEN THE CITIES, EXCUSE ME, UM, BRIDGES THE GAP BETWEEN CRACK SEALING AND MILLEN OVERLAY.
PREVIOUSLY, THE STREETS MAINTENANCE PLAN WAS TO REPEATEDLY CRACK SEAL AND THEN WAIT FOR STREETS TO DETERIORATE OVER MANY YEARS AND THEN PERFORM A MILL AND OVERLAY ON THOSE STREETS.
THE HJ FIVE APPLICATION IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PRESERVE THE STREETS THAT ARE IN GOOD CONDITION AND KEEP THEM GOOD LONGER.
SO AS TO DELAY THE NEED FOR MORE COSTLY IMPROVEMENTS, MANY OF THE STREETS CHOSEN WERE MILLAN OVERLAID IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS.
THEY WERE GOOD STRAITS FOR THIS TYPE OF APPLICATION.
AND DELL CONSTRUCTION IS AN APPROVED APPLICATOR OF THE HFI PRODUCT.
THEY PROVIDED A WEBSITE WITH A PAGE DEDICATED SPECIFICALLY TO THE CITY OF BEDFORD PROJECT.
THE WEBSITE IS THERE ON THE BOTTOM.
THE CONTRACTOR HAD AN EXTENSIVE COMMUNICATION PLAN, INCLUDING TEXT BOARDS AND ENTRANCES OF SUBDIVISIONS THAT RESIDENTS COULD SIGN UP FOR TEXT ALERTS FOR PROJECT UPDATES AND A LIVE CHAT ON THEIR WEBSITE AS WELL FOR RESIDENTS WITH SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT PROJECT SCHEDULE AND TIMELINE, THEY PUT OUT DOOR HANGERS ON AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PROJECT WITH THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION AND THEIR WEBSITE ADDRESSES, UM, FOR FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS DURING THE PROJECT, THE COMMUNICATION WITH STAFF AND THE PUBLIC WAS PROFESSIONAL AND TIMELY.
THEY REACHED OUT TO EMERGENCY SERVICES, REPUBLIC SERVICES, AND THE POSTMASTER TO LET THEM KNOW THE SCHEDULE OF THE PROJECT.
THE PHOTO ON THE TOP, RIGHT, IS THEN PICKING UP TRASH ONE MORNING.
SO THAT THE STREET THAT WAS PLANNED FOR AN APPLICATION THAT DAY WOULDN'T BE MISSED.
THIS WAS A TURNKEY PROJECT THAT REQUIRED A LITTLE INTERACTION OR EFFORT FROM CITY STAFF.
HERE ARE THE PHOTOS OF THE RESULTS OF THE HIGH DENSITY MINERAL BOND APPLICATION.
THIS IS THE LOMA VERDE ADDITION RIGHT OFF OF BEDFORD ROAD.
RUSTIC WOODS IS EAST OF 1 21 NORTH OF HARWOOD, AND DID SEVERAL STREETS IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
WELL, QUAIL CREEK IS ESTATES IS NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE CITY.
AGAIN, SEVERAL STREETS WERE DONE IN NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND THEN THIS FINAL SLIDE IS CAROLYN CAROLYN DRIVE.
UM, IT'S RIGHT AT THE CITY LIMIT LINE.
AND I, I REALLY LIKED THESE PICTURES BECAUSE YOU
[00:15:01]
CAN'T REALLY TELL WHERE, UM, HURST'S APPLICATION THAT WAS DONE THREE YEARS AGO.YOU CAN'T TELL WHERE THEIR STARTS AND WHERE OURS ENDS.
SO THE ONE ON THE LEFT IS IN HERS, LOOKING INTO BEDFORD.
AND THE ONE ON THE, ON THE RIGHT IS, UM, LOOKING INTO THE, HER CITY LIMITS.
SO THEY STOPPED RIGHT AT THE LINE AND OUR APPLICATION AND THEIR APPLICATION LOOKED PRETTY GOOD.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD THAT'S.
THIS IS WHAT WE ANTICIPATE OUR STREETS LOOKING LIKE IN THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS FROM THAT APPLICATION.
SO HOW LONG DOES THIS, UM, HELP LENGTHEN THE LIFE OF THESE, THESE STREETS BY APPLYING THIS HIGH DENSITY, MINERAL GENERALLY AT LEAST FIVE YEARS, DEPENDING ON HOW, YOU KNOW, DEPENDING ON THE TRAFFIC, ON THOSE STREETS, THE HEAVY USAGE OF THE STREETS, UM, THE APPLICATION COMES WITH A FIVE-YEAR WARRANTY.
SO AT LEAST FIVE YEARS, IF NOT MORE, SOME OF THE STREETS THAT ARE LESS TRAVELED WILL LIKELY LAST A LITTLE BIT LONGER.
I MEAN, TH THE STREETS WON'T, YOU MEAN THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE PERFECT FOREVER.
THEY'LL EVENTUALLY DETERIORATE, BUT IT'S A NICE SEAL OVER, OVER THE, THE PAVEMENT THAT KEEPS THE WATER FROM GOING IN THERE.
SO IT'S ALSO A REALLY GOOD STOP GAP BETWEEN BETWEEN THE CRACK SEAL AND THE MILL AND OVERLAY.
I THINK THIS IS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR, FOR, UM, THE PREVIOUS, UH, YOU KNOW, MEMBERS TO KIND OF PAT THEMSELVES ON THE BACK BECAUSE THEY THEY'RE THE ONES WHO, UM, APPROVED THIS AND SAID, THIS IS THE DIRECTION WE WANT TO GO GOING FORWARD WITH OUR STREETS.
CAUSE BEFORE, LIKE YOU MENTIONED, UM, IT WAS JUST, WE WAITED FOR IT TO DETERIORATE.
SO, AND THEN, AND THEN GO AHEAD AND MILL AND OVERLAY, AND THAT COSTS, YOU KNOW, A LOT MORE.
AND BY DOING THIS, UM, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, THIS IS MORE COST-EFFECTIVE IN THE LONG RUN AND IS IT ALLOWS US TO DELAY THOSE, THOSE, UM, HIGHER COSTLY IMPROVEMENTS THAT THAT WILL BE REQUIRED EVENTUALLY.
SHALL I ASK THE QUESTION? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE HAVE UTILITY WORKERS DOING WORK? DO THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE, THE OVERLAY OR BECAUSE ONCE THEY DO THAT, THEY, THEY BREAK THAT SEAL.
AND YOU'RE STARTING TO SEE SUBPAR WORK FROM OUR UTILITY COMPANIES THAT ARE COMING IN OR ANYBODY DOING STREET WORK, OTHER THAN US.
WHAT'S THE, WHAT'S THE PROCESS WITH, WITH THAT WITH UTILITY COMPANIES, THE REQUIREMENT IS FOR THEM TO REPAIR THE SURFACE OF THE ROAD TO SAME OR BETTER CONDITION THAN THEY FOUND IT, THE LIKELIHOOD OF THEM COMING BACK AND REDOING AN
SO THEY'RE NOT GOING TO PUT IT IN THE, IN THE CONDITION THAT WE'VE GOT.
CAUSE WE'VE GOT SEVERAL PLACES WHERE UTILITY COMPANIES HAVE COME IN TO REPLACE ASPHALT AND IT'S ALREADY SINKING.
WELL, IF THERE'S LOCATIONS WHERE THE ASPHALT IS SINKING, THEN, I MEAN, WE CAN CERTAINLY STAFF CAN GO BACK TO THOSE CONTRACTORS AND HAVE THEM COME BACK AND MAKE THOSE REPAIRS.
UM, SO IS, IS THIS APPLICATION GOOD FOR EVEN MAJOR INTERSECTIONS AND LIKE HARWOOD AND, AND CENTRAL AND BEDFORD ROAD AT SOME POINT? OR IS IT, IS IT REALLY FOR JUST RESIDENTIAL STREETS? IT'S BETTER FOR RESIDENTIAL STREETS BECAUSE THE STREETS SUCH AS HARDWOOD AND CENTRAL AVENUE HAVE SO MUCH MORE TRAFFIC.
THE FEEDBACK FROM CITIZENS INCLUDED MANY POSITIVE COMMENTS AND THANK YOU'S ON THE CITY, SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS, WHICH IS VERY EXCITING WITH THAT.
WE'RE PROPOSING GENERALLY THE SAME NUMBER OF NEIGHBORHOODS IN THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR'S BUDGET, UNLESS THE BOARD HAS ANY OBJECTIONS.
SO BEFORE MOVING ON AT THE LAST MEETING, THE QUESTION ASKS WHY STAFF CHOSE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH ANDILE CONSTRUCTION'S TURNKEY, TURNKEY APPLICATION OF THE HJ FIVE HIGH DENSITY, MINERAL BOND PRODUCT, INSTEAD OF A POTENTIAL ALTERNATIVE OF A POLY COAT PRODUCT.
A POLY COAT DOES NOT SUPPLY A PRODUCT FOR AN ASPHALT STREET APPLICATION.
THEY DO MENTION A CONCRETE PRODUCT, BUT YOU'LL SEE ON THE BOTTOM, RIGHT.
IT'S FOR STRUCTURAL CONCRETE REPAIR.
AND IT'S NOT FOR A PROTECTIVE SEALANT FOR PUBLIC STREETS.
I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT REAL QUICK QUESTION.
HOW DO YOU CHOOSE WHICH NEIGHBORHOOD YOU'RE GOING TO GO BACK INTO OR GO INTO WHICH NEIGHBORHOODS ARE GOING TO BE CHOSEN? YEAH.
FOR THE NEW APPLICATION FOR THE HF FIVE.
UM, CAN I TELL YOU THAT IN A LATER SLIDE, IS THAT OKAY? OF COURSE, AS I SAID, THE, I MEAN THE, THE STREETS ARE THE ONES THAT ARE IN GOOD CONDITION.
SO WE'RE LOOKING FOR STREETS THAT HAVE A HIGHER, UM, RATING SCORE ON THE STREET ASSESSMENT.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR STREETS THAT, UM, HAVE BEEN MILLING OVERLAID IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS.
SO IF IT'S BEEN MILLEN OVERLAID IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS, IT'S A REALLY GOOD STREET AND PUTTING AN APPLICATION OVER IT, UM, YOU KNOW, MAKES IT LAST A LITTLE BIT LONGER.
IT EXTENDS THAT PAVEMENT LIFE.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S HOW WE, HOW WE CHOOSE.
SO NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT RESIDENTIAL STREETS FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR.
HERE ARE THE NEIGHBORHOODS STREETS THAT ARE PLANNED FOR IMPROVEMENTS.
[00:20:01]
ALL OF THESE STREETS ARE INCLUDED IN THE EXISTING FIVE-YEAR PLAN WITH THE EXCEPTION OF NORTH RIDGE DRIVE.NORTH RIDGE WAS A LITTLE BIT TORN UP DURING A WATERLINE LEAK REPAIR.
SO WE TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO AHEAD AND MILL AND OVERLAY IT WITH TARRYN COUNTY DUE TO THE PROXIMITY TO THE HARWOOD ROAD PAVEMENT PROJECT.
AND SINCE HARDWOOD ROAD WAS RECENTLY COMPLETED AND THE WATERLINE CONSTRUCTION DID IMPACT THE TWO SLIP ROADS.
THOSE HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THIS YEAR'S LIST TO BE MELANOMA RELATED AS WELL.
SEVERAL OTHER STREETS IN THE HOPE VALLEY AND FOREST RIDGE ADDITIONS WERE PLANNED FOR FUTURE YEARS IN THE FIVE-YEAR CIP, BUT WE'RE MOVING THOSE UP A LITTLE BIT SOONER TO BE ABLE TO COMPLETE AS MANY OF THOSE FIVE-YEAR PLAN STREETS AS WE CAN, BEFORE WE RECEIVE A NEW STREET ASSESSMENT LATER THIS YEAR, WALTER STREET, WHICH IS IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR SCREEN AND THE PINK IS SLATED FOR RECONSTRUCTION THIS SUMMER BY TARON COUNTY, THROUGH THE CON THROUGH THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM, IT WAS AWARDED BY THE COUNCIL LAST MONTH AND WE ANTICIPATE THEM BEGINNING CONSTRUCTION, UH, PROBABLY IN THE NEXT 60 DAYS OR SO.
MOVING ON TO THOROUGHFARES HARWOOD ROAD FROM HER CITY LIMITS TO OAK VALLEY JUST PAST FOREST RIDGE WAS COMPLETED LAST MONTH IN COOPERATION WITH TARRANT COUNTY PRECINCT THREE IN THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN FOR THOROUGHFARES HARWOOD ROAD WAS PLANNED FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR.
WE MOVED HARWOOD UP BY ONE FULL YEAR.
GREAT JOB THAT WAS QUITE A FEAT FOR PUBLIC WORK SINCE OUR STREET AND DRAINAGE DIVISIONS CURRENTLY ONLY HAVE SIX EMPLOYEES COMPARED WITH A FULL STAFF OF 13 EMPLOYEES.
BOTH DIVISIONS WERE ON HARWOOD ROAD EVERY DAY FOR AN ENTIRE MONTH PROVIDING TRAFFIC CONTROL AS TARRANT COUNTY PAVED THE ROAD.
ADDITIONALLY, WE EXPERIENCED ASPHALT SHORTAGES FROM THE SUPPLIER.
THANKFULLY OUR STREET SUPERINTENDENT THOUGHT TO CONTACT ANOTHER SUPPLIER TO PROVIDE ASPHALT IN ORDER TO KEEP THAT PROJECT GOING.
THIS WAS A GREAT EFFORT TO BRING HARWOOD ROAD IN ONE YEAR AHEAD OF SCHEDULE.
AND NOW ALL OF HARWOOD FROM HER CITY LIMITS TO THE ULA CITY LIMITS HAS BEEN REHABILITATED WITHIN THE PAST FIVE YEARS.
SO THE OTHER STREET ON THE THOROUGHFARE LIST IS FOREST RIDGE DRIVE FROM HARWOOD ROAD TO BEDFORD ROAD.
IT IS IN THE FIVE-YEAR CIP AND IT WAS PLANNED FOR THIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR OR RIDGE WILL BE COMPLETED LATER THIS SUMMER AT THE COMPLETION OF THE FOREST RIDGE WATER LINE PROJECT, FOREST RIDGE, NORTH OF HARWOOD, DID SHE EXPIRED HER FROM BEDFORD ROAD OF 180 3 WERE COMPLETED BY PUBLIC WORKS IN TARRANT COUNTY LAST FISCAL YEAR.
AND THIS LAST SEGMENT FROM HARWOOD TO BEDFORD ROAD WILL COMPLETE ALL OF FOREST RIDGE FROM CHEEK.
SPARGER ALL THE WAY DOWN TO PIPELINE ROAD.
AND ALL OF THAT WILL HAVE BEEN DONE IN THE LAST THREE YEARS.
SO WE HAVE SOME BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES OF HARWOOD ROAD, IT WAS REALLY BAD THERE BEFORE REALLY BIG DIFFERENCES WERE REALLY BIG DIFFERENCE.
IT WAS LIKE I SAID, IT WAS A GREAT EFFORT BY CITY STAFF IN TARRANT COUNTY.
I LOVE THIS PICTURE BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT AT THE CITY LIMIT LINE SHOWING OFF A LITTLE BIT, A LITTLE BIT COMMUNICATION STAFF, POSTED UPDATES THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT ON FACEBOOK, AS WELL AS REELS ON INSTAGRAM.
AND WE DID RECEIVE SOME COMPLIMENTS FROM CITIZENS.
SO AT THE END OF THE PROJECT, WE TOOK A MOMENT FOR A GROUP PHOTO OF THE HEROES THAT HELPED MAKE THIS PROJECT A SUCCESS KUDOS TO THE GROUP.
AND THANK YOU TO TARRAN COUNTY PRECINCT THREE FOR ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL PROJECT WHO DOES TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM.
I KNOW I, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WERE REALLY ANGRY WITH US FOR A LONG TIME AND I ALWAYS GOT EMAILS AND PEOPLE ASKING ME, WHEN IS HARVARD ROGAN TO BE DONE? WHEN IS HARVARD GOING TO BE DONE? I'M LIKE, JUST PLEASE BE PATIENT, PLEASE BE PATIENT.
AND SO HAVING IT DONE AND DONE AS EARLY AS WE COULD IN THE SUMMER, UM, HABITAT WAS JUST PHENOMENAL.
SO TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM ARE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, EVERYBODY, UH, TO GET THAT DONE.
AND, AND THIS IS REALLY GOOD NEWS, KNOWING THAT, UM, WE MOVED IT UP TO SCHEDULE FOR HARVARD ROAD TO COMPLETE IT ALL THE WAY, UH, THROUGH OUR ENTIRE CITY.
I MEAN, HARDWOOD BASICALLY IS, I MEAN, IT'S THE LIFELINE OF OUR CITY, RIGHT? IT'S ONE OF THOSE MAIN THOROUGHFARES WE CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT.
SO I'M GLAD THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DRIVING ON SOME NEW ROAD.
WE ANTICIPATE PAVING ON FOREST RIDGE LATER THIS SUMMER.
UM, HERE'S SOME BEFORE PHOTOS OF FOREST RIDGE, WE'LL BRING BACK THE AFTER PHOTOS AT THE NEXT FOUR B MEETING IN JANUARY HARWOOD ROAD AND FOREST RIDGE DRIVE ARE TWO BIG PROJECTS FOR THIS YEAR OF THE STREETS.
WHAT A GREAT YEAR FOR BEDFORD'S THOROUGHFARES.
WE DO HAVE ONE ADDITIONAL THIRD OF OUR PROJECT THAT WILL BE ADDED TO THE FIVE-YEAR CIP.
IT IS THE CHEEK SPARGER ROAD AT STATE HIGHWAY 1 21 IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT CITY COUNCIL APPROVED AN INTER-LOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF EULAS AT THE JUNE 28TH MEETING TO SHARE IN THE COST OF DESIGN OF THE PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF $205,000.
THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDE THE ADDITION OF SIDEWALKS ACROSS THE FRONT END ROADS OF ONE STATE HIGHWAY 1 21, ADA RAMPS, PAVEMENT MARKINGS FOR CROSSWALKS SIGNAL MODIFICATIONS TO ACCOMMODATE PEDESTRIAN PEDESTRIANS
[00:25:01]
AND ADDITIONAL EASTBOUND OR WESTBOUND LEFT TURN LANE CAPACITY.WHAT THE CITY SHARING IN THE COST OF THE DESIGN TEXTILES HAS AGREED TO FUND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THOSE IMPROVEMENTS.
TIMEFRAME FOR CONSTRUCTION FOR THESE IMPROVEMENTS IS THE SPRING OF 2023 WITH AN ANTICIPATED CONSTRUCTION TIME OF SIX MONTHS.
SO NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT CONCRETE IMPROVEMENTS, SIDEWALK, REPAIRS, NEW SIDEWALKS, AND CONCRETE STREET PANEL REPLACEMENT, UM, HAPPENED THROUGHOUT THE CITY THROUGH THE CONCRETE LINE ITEM IN THE FOUR B OPERATING BUDGET THROUGH AN INTER LOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF GRAPEVINE MANNING CONCRETE PERFORMS THIS WORK FOR THE CITY OF BEDFORD LAST YEAR, THE A LADY'S WEBSITE FOR RESIDENTS TO REQUEST SIDEWALK, REPAIRS AND ADDITIONS, AND AN ADDITIONAL 154 REQUESTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED THROUGH THESE COMMUNICATION EFFORTS.
THE CURRENT FISCAL, THIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR MANNING CONCRETE HAS COMPLETED APPROXIMATELY 40% OF THAT IDENTIFIED CONCRETE WORK ORDERS SO FAR.
SO THESE ARE PICTURES OF THE TYPES OF PROJECTS THAT WE COMPLETE WITH THE, WITH THE MISCELLANEOUS CONCRETE, UM, CONTRACTOR ON THE LEFT IS RELIANCE PARKWAY.
THERE'S A PANEL REPLACEMENT AT THE TOP FOREST DRIVE.
THIS IS THE ADDITION OF A, UM, ADA RAMP THAT CONNECT THAT CONNECTS TO A NEW CROSSWALK THAT WAS REQUESTED BY, UM, AN ADJACENT HOA HARWOOD TERRACE.
THIS IS A NEW CONCRETE VALLEY GUTTER.
SO IT'S WHERE THERE'S AN INTERSECTION BETWEEN BETWEEN TWO STREETS.
IT GIVES THE WATER A PLACE TO GO BECAUSE IF THERE'S NOT THAT CONCRETE VALLEY GUTTER AND THE WATER CONTINUES TO RUN ACROSS THE ASPHALT THAT DETERIORATES THAT, THAT SURFACE OF THE, OF THE PAVEMENT AND THEN MARTIN DRIVE, THIS IS A NEW SIDEWALK THAT CAN HAVE THAT CONNECTS TO EXISTING SIDEWALKS ON MORTON.
UM, YOU JUST PAVED A SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF THE BOYS RANCHER GENERATION PARK, AND IT KIND OF DEAD ENDS RIGHT BEFORE YOU GET TO THE CORNER.
IS THAT GOING TO STAY THAT WAY? THAT, UH, SIDEWALK THAT'S BEING CONSTRUCTED ALONG FOREST RIDGE WITH THE PARK AS PART OF THE PARK PROJECT, IT DOES END AT THE CROSSWALK AT THIS TIME.
I MEAN IT, BUT IT DOESN'T GO TO THE IT'S LIKE SIX FEET.
MAYBE I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT ON THE CORNER OF FOREST RIDGE AND, AND HARWOOD ROAD.
SO THAT SECTION OF SIDEWALK WAS LIKELY REMOVED WITH THE WATER LINE PROJECT, UM, EITHER A VALVE OR A HYDRANT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT WAS PROBABLY TAKEN ACROSS THE CURB TO THE, TO THE SIDEWALK AREA.
AND THAT WILL BE REPLACED WITH THE WATER LINE PROJECT.
AND THESE ARE PHOTOS OF CONCRETE PANEL REPLACEMENT ON TAMWORTH COURT RUN ONE.
THESE ARE ADDITIONAL VALLEY GUTTERS, UM, ON CUMMINGS COURT.
UH, THERE'S ALSO PHOTOS OF, UH, REPAIRS OF CONCRETE CURB AND GUTTER AND ADDITIONAL, UM, SIDEWALK RAMPS.
THIS ONE, THESE ARE THE PHOTOS UPON CONCRETE PANEL REPLACEMENT ON TAMWORTH COURT.
SO THE TOP PHOTOS OF THE BEFORE PHOTO, IF YOU LOOK AT THE TOP TOWARD THE RIGHT THERE'S PONDING IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE RESIDENT IN THE TOP PHOTO SHARED THEIR FRUSTRATION WITH STAFF ABOUT THE CONSTANT PONDING AT THE DRIVEWAY.
EVEN AFTER THE SMALLEST RAIN EVENT, STAFF WORKED WITH AN ENGINEERING FIRM TO HAVE THE STREET SURVEY AND STAKED PROPOSED ELEVATIONS IN ORDER TO ADJUST THE GRADE OF THE STREET TO ALLOW WATER, TO DRAIN TO THE INLAND THAT'S ALL THE WAY DOWN AT THE OTHER END OF THE STREET.
THE PLAN OF REPLACING A COUPLE OF CONCRETE PANELS TURNED INTO SEVERAL PANELS AND THE BOTTOM SHOW, THE FINAL STREET IMPROVEMENTS THAT WERE COMPLETED LAST MONTH.
THE EXTENSIVE WORK, UM, ON TAMWORTH COURT COURT, UM, IS FUNDED THROUGH THE CONCRETE BUDGET IN THE, UM, IN THE, OR B OPERATING BUDGET.
SO IT DOES REDUCE THE NUMBER OF SIDEWALK REPAIR WORK ORDERS THAT CAN BE COMPLETED THIS YEAR.
BUT THIS WAS, UH, A GOOD PROJECT THAT, UM, WAS IN RESPONSE TO A RESIDENT THIS YEAR.
THE CITY COUNCIL, UM, GAVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE TRAFFIC SIGNALS.
WE USED ARPA FUNDS TO UPDATE THE CONTROL EQUIPMENT IN ALL 27 CABINETS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
THE NEW COLDWELL CONTROLLERS REPLACED THE OUTDATED CONTROLLERS AND THE NEW CONTROLLERS ASSIST TRAFFIC TECHNICIANS TO IDENTIFY ISSUES FASTER AND RETURN A SIGNAL BACK TO NORMAL OPERATION.
ADDITIONALLY, THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WAS UPGRADED TO A NEW SYSTEM CALLED CENTREX MOBILITY.
THIS CLOUD-BASED SYSTEM ALLOWS US TO MONITOR ALL TRAFFIC SIGNALS IN WITHIN THE CITY.
IN REAL TIME, THE SYSTEM CAN ALSO TAKE INFORMATION FROM OTHER CONTROLLERS AND GIVE US TIMING PLANS TO IMPROVE THE TRAFFIC FLOW.
[00:30:02]
SO ITEM FIVE ON YOUR AGENDA IS THE AMENDMENT OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2122 CIP TO INCLUDE THE STREETS I MENTIONED IN THE PREVIOUS SLIDES, A COPY OF THIS SPREADSHEET IS INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKETS.SO TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF PERSPECTIVE, I HIGHLIGHTED, UM, THE HIGHLIGHTED BOXES ON YOUR SCREEN, SHOW YOU WHAT THE CHANGES ARE ON THE FIVE-YEAR CIP.
SO STARTING AT THE TOP OF THE THOROUGHFARES, AS I MENTIONED, HARWOOD ROAD FROM HER CITY LIMITS TO OAK VALLEY WAS PLANNED FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR.
STAFF WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE PROJECT UP TO THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR.
THAT TOP TABLE SHOWS THE THOROUGHFARES, WHICH ARE FUNDED WITH THE 2021 THOROUGHFARE BOND.
THE HARWOOD ROAD TRAFFIC SIGNALS FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF 500,000 WERE SET ASIDE FOR REPLACEMENT OF SIGNAL AT THE INTERSECTION OF HARWOOD AND CENTRAL DRIVE.
WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THE LOGISTICS OF WHETHER OR NOT IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED.
SO THAT PROJECT MAY MOVE AGAIN IN THE FOLLOWING FISCAL YEAR.
BUT FOR NOW WE HAVE IT IN THIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR AS A PLACE HOLDER, AND THEN THE ILA WITH THE INTER LOCAL AGREEMENT WITH ULAS FOR THE CHEEK SPARGER AT STATE HIGHWAY 1 21 IMPROVEMENT PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF $205,000 HAS ALSO BEEN INCLUDED IN THE FIVE-YEAR CIP FOR THOROUGHFARES AND WILL BE FUNDED WITH THE 2021 THOROUGHFARE BONDS.
SO THOSE ARE THE CHANGES TO THE TOP PORTION.
AGAIN, THOSE ARE THE THOROUGHFARES.
SO THE REMAINDER OF THE TABLE SHOWS THE RESIDENTIAL STREETS AND THE FIVE-YEAR CIP.
THOSE IMPROVEMENTS ARE SCHEDULED TO BEGIN IN THE NEXT 30 TO 45 DAYS.
SO THE GREEN HIGHLIGHTED LINES ARE THE STREETS THAT WERE PLANNED FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR.
THEY INCLUDE WOODVILLE LEE AND MORROW, GREEN STAFF DETERMINED THAT THE CARBON GUTTERS ON LEE STREET NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE REPAIR THAN WE ORIGINALLY THOUGHT.
SO IN ORDER TO DO IT RIGHT, WE WENT AHEAD AND MOVED THAT OUT TO THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR.
THAT WAY WE CAN GET THE CURB AND GUTTER DONE, UM, THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, BEFORE WE COME BACK AND WE, WE PAVED THE SURFACE, ADDITIONAL STREETS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THIS TABLE FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR AS WELL.
THERE'LL BE COMPLETED AS FUNDING ALLOWS ANY STREETS SHOWN IN THIS FISCAL YEAR THAT ARE NOT COMPLETED, WERE ROLLED TO NEXT YEAR'S LIST.
SO THE PINK HIGHLIGHTED STREETS WERE MOVED UP IN THE CIP.
SO THEY WERE IN FUTURE YEARS, WE WENT AHEAD AND TRIED TO MOVE THEM UP, TRY TO GET AS MANY AS THESE FIVE-YEAR STREETS DONE BEFORE THE NEW ASSESSMENT COMES.
THE HIGHLIGHTED IN THE BOXES AND PINK.
UM, EXCUSE ME, IN PEACH WERE ADDED FOR VARIOUS REASONS.
FOR INSTANCE, I, I MENTIONED THE SLIPPERS ON HARDWOOD ROAD.
UM, HARWOOD'S BEEN PAVED THE WATER LINE EFFECTED THE SLIP ROAD.
SO THIS IS AS GOOD A TIME AS ANY TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE CARE OF ALL OF HARWOOD ROADS.
SO, UM, THAT'S AN EXAMPLE WHY SOME OF THOSE OTHER ROADS WERE, WERE INCLUDED IN THIS FISCAL YEAR.
SO THE TOTAL OF $1,789,140 IN THE SPREADSHEET IS A COST OF THE RESIDENTIAL STREET PAVING, INCLUDING THE ADDITIONAL HIGHLIGHTED STREETS ENGINEERING DESIGN OF DEUCE DRIVE AND THE GREGORY ADDITION, NEIGHBORHOODS AND CONSTRUCTION OF WALTER STREET THROUGH THE TARRANT COUNTY CDBG PROGRAM.
AND IS WITHIN THE APPROVED FISCAL YEAR 21, 22 OPERATING BUDGET.
EXPLAIN THAT TO THE NEW PEOPLE ON THE STREETS ABOUT WHAT, WHAT THAT ENTAILS, HOW DID WE GET THAT AND HOW DOES IT WORK? OKAY.
SO EVERY OTHER YEAR IN JUNE, IN JANUARY OF 2021, UM, THE CITY APPLIED WITH TARRANT COUNTY FOR A GRANT, UM, FOR A, ANY, FOR ANY TYPE OF PROJECT THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE, UM, THROUGH THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK PROGRAM.
SO THAT PROGRAM IS FOR AREAS THAT MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA.
AND WE, AS A CITY WERE AWARDED, I THINK IT WAS LIKE 162 ISH THOUSAND DOLLARS, UM, TO GO TOWARD OUR PROJECT.
THE PROJECT THAT WE HAD CHOSEN WAS THE RECONSTRUCTION OF WALTER STREET.
SO THIS, UM, THIS FISCAL YEAR WE'VE REPLACED SOME OF THE WATERLINE WE'VE REPLACED THE SANITARY SEWER LINE, UM, IN PREPARATION FOR THAT PROJECT COMING FORWARD.
SO, UM, CITY PAYS FOR THE DESIGN, THEN TARRANT COUNTY, UH, TAKES IT OVER ONCE IT'S AWARDED AND THEY WORKED THROUGH THE CONTRACTOR AND DO THE CONSTRUCTION AND THE CITY REIMBURSES THE REMAINDER OF, OF THOSE FUNDS FOR CONSTRUCTION.
SO EVERY OTHER YEAR WE CAN APPLY FOR A NEW PROJECT AND WE PAY FOR THE DESIGN AND THEN EVERY OTHER YEAR, LIKE THE SUBSEQUENT YEARS, UM, OUR CONSTRUCTION.
SO IF THIS YEAR IS CONSTRUCTION, THE NEXT YEAR, WE CAN APPLY FOR DESIGN AGAIN, IS THERE ANY LIMIT TO HOW MUCH YOU CAN APPLY FOR, BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE THEM ALREADY ENGINEERED.
I MEAN, YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE DRAWINGS AND EVERYTHING READY TO GO TO SUBMIT FOR APPLICATION.
SO IN JANUARY WHEN WE APPLIED, UM, AND ONCE WE WERE GIVEN THE, UH, THE AWARD, THEN WE STARTED THE DESIGN OF THE PROJECT.
[00:35:08]
SO THIS IS A MAP SHOWING ALL OF THOSE PROJECTS IN THIS FISCAL YEAR CIP.SO THESE ARE EITHER, THESE ARE EITHER HAVE BEEN COMPLETED OR IN PROGRESS OR A PLAN FOR THE SUMMER AS OF THIS MEETING.
SO JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME FUN NUMBERS, 53 STREETS WERE CRACK SEALED THIS YEAR 24TH STREETS RECEIVE THE HA FIVE SURFACE TREATMENT.
EIGHT ARE CURRENTLY UNDER DESIGN 11 HAPPEN, OR WE'LL BE MILLING OVERLAID, AND THREE REAL RECEIVE A FULL DEPTH RECLAMATION.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS FISCAL YEAR'S PROJECTS OR THE CIP AMENDMENT AND ANY QUESTIONS? YES.
LOOKING AT THIS ON THE SPREADSHEET, IT SHOWS WALTER STREET $520,000 AS PART OF THE BUDGET.
IS THAT CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT.
SO DID I MISUNDERSTAND THAT TARRANT COUNTY WAS PAYING FOR SOME OF THAT OR WAS THAT PARDON? A PORTION THAT IS THE REMAINING, UM, THAT'S OUR PORTION.
SO WE HAD TO BUDGET OUR PORTION THAT ISN'T GOING TO BE COVERED BY TARON COUNTY.
W DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE TOTAL WAS? JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, PLUS 160 TWO-ISH THOUSAND DOLLARS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE? OKAY.
SO, UH, WE HAVE TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS ITEM.
SO THIS IS THE AMENDED FISCAL YEAR 20 20, 20 21, 20 22, UM, STREET IMPROVING ECONOMIC DOME CORPORATION, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN.
UH, DO I HEAR A MOTION OR WOULD YOU GUYS LIKE TO DO A MOTION TO APPROVE MR. BARCO MAKES A MOTION TO APPROVE? I HEARD JUST QUICKLY FOR THE SECOND.
AND THAT IS YES FOR EVERYBODY.
SO NOW WE MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER SIX, WHICH IS CONSIDERED APPROVAL OF FISCAL YEAR 20 22, 20 23 STREET IMPROVEMENT, ECONOMIC DEVELOP CORPORATION, BUDGETING CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN.
AND MS. TAYLOR, IT'S YOU AGAIN? OKAY.
SO THE SECOND BULLET IS THE FISCAL YEAR 2223 BUDGET.
I'M GOING TO TURN THIS OVER TO KAREN, RICK.
SHE IS OUR CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER TO GO OVER THE BUDGET WITH YOU.
SO I THINK IN YOUR PACKET, YOU HAVE A SPREADSHEET THAT MAPS OUT KIND OF WHAT OUR REVENUES ARE PROJECTING.
AND SO KIND OF LIKE MARIA SAID, SALES TAXES COMING IN RELATIVELY HIGH, UM, YEAR TO DATE, WE'RE SITTING AT 17.6% OVER THE PRIOR YEAR, WHICH IS GREAT.
HOWEVER, ONE OF THE THINGS WE NEED TO CONSIDER WHEN PROJECTING FOR NEXT YEAR IS THAT I PROBABLY ABOUT HALF OF THAT IS RELATED TO INFLATION.
AND SO WHEN WE'RE PROJECTING SALES TAX REVENUES FOR 23, UM, I PUT IN A 5% INCREASE OVER THE PRIOR YEAR, JUST TO KIND OF GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF CUSHION IN CASE THAT INFLATION SETTLES DOWN, WHICH THEY ARE SAYING, HOPEFULLY IT WILL.
CAUSE I KNOW MY POCKET BOOK WOULD LIKE FOR THAT TO SETTLE DOWN TO, UM, SO 4 23 WE'RE PROJECTING SALES TAX TO COME IN AT 3.65 MILLION, WHICH IS 5% OVER THE PRIOR YEAR BUDGET.
UM, WE'RE ALSO, WE'RE KEEPING INTEREST INCOME RELATIVELY FLAT BECAUSE WE'RE JUST NOT REALLY SURE WHAT THE MARKET'S TO DO.
SO WE'RE BUDGETING ABOUT $10,000 IN REVENUE IN THE INTEREST INCOME.
UM, SO FOR TOTAL REVENUES FOR 23, WE'VE BUDGETED 3.475, WHICH IS REVENUE FOR BOTH SALES TAX AND INTEREST INCOME.
AND THEN ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE.
SO IN THAT SUPPLY LINE, YOU NOTICE THAT IT DECREASED BY 4,000, WHAT THAT'S EQUATED TO A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT THINGS IN THAT LINE IS, UM, YOUR FUEL AND OIL, WHICH WE ARE PROJECTING A LITTLE BIT OF AN INCREASE JUST BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE ALL FEELING IT AT THE PUMP AS WELL.
UM, HOWEVER, BASED ON HISTORICAL TRENDS, WE WERE ABLE TO DECREASE A LINE ITEM TO KIND OF HELP ABSORB THAT INCREASED COST.
SO YOU'LL SEE YOUR SUPPLY LINE WENT DOWN $4,000 AND THEN ON THE MAINTENANCE THAT ALSO DECREASED BY ABOUT 20,000.
AND THAT AGAIN IS RELATED TO JUST HISTORICAL TREND ON WHAT YOU GUYS OR WHAT HAS BEEN SPENT IN THOSE VARIOUS LINE ITEMS. UM, AND SO WE'RE EXPECTING IT TO GO DOWN, BUT I KNOW I'M LIKE, WAIT A SECOND.
I'M NOT SURE, OH, I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
IT'S MISSING A ONE THAT SHOULD BE 180 7, 4 40, SORRY.
SO YES, SO THAT DECREASE IS ACCURATE.
THE 1 67, 1 24 MAINTENANCE, UM, CONTRACTUAL SERVICES.
WE'RE ALSO EXPECTING US TO BE A LITTLE BIT OF A DECREASE BECAUSE OF JUST VARIOUS PROJECTS AND THINGS THAT WERE INCLUDED IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET THAT WE'RE JUST NOT NEEDING FOR THIS CURRENT YEAR'S BUDGET.
[00:40:02]
UM, DEBT SERVICE IS INCREASING AND THAT'S JUST BASED ON THE DEBT SERVICE THAT WAS SOLD.AND SO THAT IS, UH, BALANCES BACK TO THE BOND DOCUMENTS AND THEN TRANSFERS.
THAT IS FOR TWO SEPARATE TRANSFERS.
THAT IS FOR YOUR ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT FOR THE VEHICLES THAT ARE IN THE STREET, UH, DEPARTMENT.
AND THEN IT'S ALSO FOR 250,000 FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
UM, I LISTENED TO, UH, I THINK IT WAS LAST SUMMER'S MEETING AND THE IDEA WAS TO CONTINUE THAT 250 TRANSFER TO BUILD THAT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR FUTURE PROJECTS.
SO THAT, THAT IS INCLUDED IN THE 23 BUDGET.
AND THEN, UM, BEFORE I TURN IT OVER TO CHERYL TO TALK ABOUT HER CAPITAL, DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE ACTUAL OPERATING COSTS, MR. COGAN? UH, KAREN, SO THE 250,000 WAS PUT INTO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND.
AND WHAT HAVE WE USED THAT FOR SO FAR, MOM? I BELIEVE WE'VE USED IT FOR CHICK-FIL-A AND THEN THERE WAS A MEDIUM PROJECT AS WELL.
UM, THAT WAS APPROVED BACK IN JUNE OR MAY THIS YEAR.
SO FROM WHAT I BELIEVE, THAT'S THE TWO PROJECTS THAT HAS BEEN SPENT ON, AND IT'S MOSTLY TO INCENTIVIZE BUSINESS TO COME HERE AND TO WE'LL HELP THEM OUT A LITTLE BIT WITH PROJECTS LIKE CHICK-FIL-A WAS A HUGE PROJECT.
SO THAT WAS WHAT IT WAS USED FOR.
IT HAS TO MEET THOSE CRITERIA.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I DO HAVE A BASIC ONE.
UM, SO OBVIOUSLY REVENUE, WE'VE GOT 3.4 AND OUR EXPENDITURES ARE 4.7.
SO KIND OF WHAT YOU WERE ASKING MARIA ABOUT EARLIER IN THE FUND BALANCE.
SO WE'RE PROJECTING THAT WE'RE GOING TO START THE YEAR WITH 3.4, WHICH SO WE'RE GOING TO USE SOME OF THAT.
WE'RE GOING TO DIP INTO FUND BALANCE A LITTLE BIT FOR THESE PROJECTS THAT ARE COMING UP.
UM, AND SO WE'RE DIPPING INTO IT.
SO WE'RE STILL GONNA HAVE TO BE ABOUT 800,000 OVER YOUR FUND BALANCE REQUIREMENT.
AND SO WHEN YOU'RE TAKING A LOOK AT YOUR, UM, PROJECTIONS FOR SALES TAX AND OUR REVENUE, UM, OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT EVERYTHING AND WE DON'T HAVE A CRYSTAL BALL.
UH, BUT, UH, I'M ASSUMING YOU DO BEING AS CONSERVATIVE AS POSSIBLE.
AND SO ANYTHING EXTRA THAT WE GAIN IN SALES TAXES, UH, JUST A GIFT, RIGHT? ABSOLUTELY.
AND WE'VE KIND OF FORECASTED OUT AS WELL.
AND WE PUT A 3% IN FOR FUTURE YEARS JUST TO KIND OF SEE WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE, BECAUSE YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WITH THE WAY THE ECONOMY WILL GO.
BUT THAT WAY WE KIND OF PLAN A WELL WITH THE FIVE-YEAR CIP KIND OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.
SO EVEN THOUGH WE ARE DIPPING IN A LITTLE BIT TO OUR FUND, YOU'RE NOT WORRIED AT ALL BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE THAT CUSHION OF 800,000.
BECAUSE, AND THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE THE FUND BALANCE POLICY IN PARTICULAR, BECAUSE YOU WANT TO SET ASIDE A REQUIREMENT AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE DOING.
WE HAVE SET ASIDE A REQUIREMENT THAT WE'LL COVER THAT FUTURE DEBT SERVICE PAYMENT.
HERE ARE THE YEAR THREE PROPOSED STREETS.
SO THE SPREADSHEET WAS INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKETS, UM, AND IN THE HARD COPIES, SIMILAR TO THE YEAR TWO TABLE, THE TOP PORTION LISTS THEIR AFFAIRS THAT ARE FUNDED WITH THE 2021 THOROUGHFARE BOND.
AND THE PAR THE BOTTOM PORTION LISTS THE RESIDENTIAL STREETS THAT ARE FUNDED WITH THE FOUR B OPERATING BUDGET.
THESE ARE THE HA FIVE NEIGHBORHOODS BEING CONSIDERED PREVENT FOR PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE.
NEXT FISCAL YEAR STREETS THAT ARE SUITABLE FOR THE, FOR THIS TREATMENT WILL ALSO BE CRAXY OR PRACTICE SEALED PRIOR TO APPLICATION.
SO THESE STREETS ARE THE ONES ON THE NORTH SIDE ARE IN REALLY GOOD CONDITION OR HAVE BEEN MILLEN OVERLAID RECENTLY ON THE, AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN, YOU'LL SEE SEVERAL STREETS, SEVERAL CUL-DE-SACS, UM, RIGHT OFF OF HOSPITAL PARKWAY.
SO WHEN YOU HAVE A CUL-DE-SAC AND THERE'S LIKE FOUR OR FIVE HOUSES, THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT OF TRAFFIC ON THEM.
THESE STREETS ARE A LITTLE BIT OLDER, BUT WE, UM, STAFF HAS MET WITH THE, WHAT THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FIVE PRODUCT.
AND WE'VE ASKED, YOU KNOW, IS THERE ANY BENEFIT TO, UM, APPLYING IT TO SOME OF THESE OLDER STREETS? AND WHAT THEY'VE SAID IS, WELL, IT'S IN REALLY GOOD CONDITION.
YOU WHAT'S YOUR PLAN FOR THE STREET TO SIT, HONESTLY, LOOKING AT THE CONDITION.
WE'RE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING WITH IT IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.
IS THERE A BENEFIT TO ADDING THIS TREATMENT? AND THEY SAID, YEAH, THAT IT'LL, IT'LL BUY YOU ANOTHER FIVE YEARS.
IT'LL HELP TO PRESERVE IT IN THE CONDITION THAT IT SAID.
SO YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PICK STREETS NECESSARILY WITH ALLIGATOR CRACKING AND POTHOLES AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
BUT THESE ARE, THESE ARE PRETTY GOOD STREETS AND ALL THE STREETS THAT ARE, UM, THAT ARE NOTED HERE, UM, THEY WILL BE CRACKS SEALED PRIOR TO THE APPLICATION.
AND THESE ARE JUST THE ONES THAT ARE, THAT
[00:45:01]
ARE BEING CONSIDERED, UM, BASED ON THE BUDGET AND, UM, AND SCHEDULING, YOU KNOW, W WE MAY LIMIT SOME OF THE, SOME OF THE STREETS, BUT WE WANTED TO SHOW YOU THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE BEING CONSIDERED FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR.SO THE BOTTOM ONE SHOWS YOU, UH, THE CALL TO SEX AND THE STREETS RIGHT OFF HOSPITAL PARKWAY.
SO IT'S NICE TO BE ABLE TO PRESERVE SOME OF THOSE OLDER STREETS AS WELL.
THE RESIDENTIAL STREETS PROPOSED FOR YEAR THREE ARE SHOWN HERE.
SHERYL AVENUE IS ON THE FIVE-YEAR CIP LIST.
AND LEE DRIVE IS THE ONE THAT I TOLD YOU WAS DELAYED IN ORDER TO REPLACE SOME CURB AND GUTTER PRIOR TO REPAIRING THE PAVEMENT, DO STRIVE IS CURRENTLY UNDER DESIGN AND WE'LL, UM, GO TO CONSTRUCTION LIKELY NEXT, UM, AFTER THE FIRST OF THE YEAR.
SO DO STRIVE IS ADJACENT TO THE, UM, WHAT DO YOU CALL IT? CAR LOTS.
SO THERE'S A LOT OF VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THAT ROAD.
IT'S CURRENTLY AN ASPHALT ROAD AND WE'RE LOOKING AT, UM, RECONSTRUCTING IT IN CONCRETE.
IT ALSO RECLUSE, WE INCLUDE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE WATER LINE IN THE SANITARY SEWER LINE AS WELL.
SO BRIAR DRIVE AT THE TOP, RIGHT? AND THEN THE STREET RIGHT ABOVE IT, SHIRLEY WAY, BOTH OF THOSE ARE IN PRETTY, PRETTY POOR CONDITION, BUT, UM, DRIVING THE STREETS, UH, BOTH OF THOSE STREETS ARE IN NEED OF NEW CURB AND GUTTER.
SO THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT OFF AND WE, WE REALLY NEED TO HA YOU KNOW, WE REALLY NEED TO SET THE ELEVATIONS ON THAT.
SO WHEN YOU HAVE THAT EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF WORK ON THE STREET, UM, WE CONSIDER THAT FULL RECONSTRUCTION.
SO ANY STREETS THAT ARE SLATED FOR FULL RECONSTRUCTION REQUIRE ENGINEERING DESIGN, UM, THEY'RE BOTH VERY LONG STREETS.
SO NEXT YEAR, THE PLAN IS TO START THE DESIGN OF BRIAR DRIVE, TO BE FULLY RECONSTRUCTED, UM, ANY UTILITY, UM, REPLACEMENTS THAT NEED TO HAPPEN AT THAT TIME.
AND THERE'S A CREEK THAT RUNS ACROSS THERE.
SO IT, IT'S GOING TO NEED A, UM, A CULVERT REPLACED WITH, UH, WITH THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THAT ROAD AS WELL.
AND THEN SURELY WAY WE'LL FOLLOW, YOU KNOW, IN SUBSEQUENT YEARS, AS I MENTIONED EARLY IN THE PRESENTATION, UM, INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT SERVICES, WHO IS THE VENDOR FOR, UM, EXCUSE ME, WHO IS THE CONSULTANT THAT IS DOING OUR STREET ASSESSMENT, THEY'VE COLLECTED THE DATA ON BEDFORD CITY STREETS, THE RESULTS AND THE DRAFT RULE REPORT WILL BE PRESENTED TO THE BOARD IN JANUARY.
ANY ADDITIONAL RESIDENTIAL STREETS FOR YEAR THREE WILL BE PRIORITIZED BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THAT STREET ASSESSMENT.
SO, UM, ONCE WE GET THAT RESTRICT ASSESSMENT, YOU KNOW, THE MONEY WILL ALREADY BE IN THE BUDGET AND WE WILL BE ABLE TO CHOOSE STREETS AT THAT TIME.
WELL, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF EFFORT WAS APPLIED TO THOROUGHFARES IN YEAR TWO.
THERE ARE STILL THOROUGHFARES THAT NEED SOME ATTENTION.
SO FOR, UH, FOR YEAR THREE, WE'RE PROPOSING TO BRING BEDFORD ROAD FORWARD.
UM, ONE PLAN YEAR AHEAD OF SCHEDULE.
SO IT WAS PLANNED IN THE FIVE-YEAR CIP FROM FISCAL YEAR 23, 24, AND WE'RE MOVING IT UP TO THIS NEXT FISCAL YEAR 23 FUNDING FOR BEDFORD ROAD WILL BE FROM THE 2021 THOROUGHFARE BOND TO OTHER IDENTIFIED THEIR AFFAIRS MCCLAIN ROAD AND SHOE MACK LANE ARE ALSO PROPOSED FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR.
AS THE CITY HAS DONE IN THE PAST, STAFF WILL PARTNER WITH TARRANT COUNTY PRECINCT THREE FOR THESE TWO THOROUGHFARES.
WHEN WORKING WITH TARRANT COUNTY, THE CITY PROVIDES TRAFFIC CONTROL, COORDINATES THE MILLING OPERATION AND SUPPLIES.
THE MATERIALS SUCH AS ASPHALT FOR THE PROJECT TARRANT COUNTY WILL PROVIDE THE EQUIPMENT AND THE LABOR FOR THE PROJECT.
THIS IS THE SAME OPERATION THAT WAS PERFORMED ON HARWOOD ROAD LAST MONTH.
AND FUNDING FOR THESE TWO STREETS WILL ALSO BE FROM THE 2021 THOROUGHFARE BOND.
FINALLY, UM, HERE'S A RECAP ON SOME FUTURE PROJECTS, TARRANT COUNTY VOTERS APPROVED THE $40 MILLION TARRANT COUNTY TRANSPORTATION BOND PACKAGE, AND THE NOVEMBER, 2021 ELECTION BEDFORD SUBMITTED AND WAS APPROVED FOR UP TO $8 MILLION IN MATCHING FUNDS FOR BROWN TRAIL IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF HEARST, UH, THE CIP, THE FIVE-YEAR CIP DOES NOT CURRENTLY CURRENTLY INCLUDE THE BROWN TRAIL PROJECT CONSTRUCTION FOR THIS APPROVED PROJECT MUST BEGIN BY FISCAL YEAR 26.
AND ONCE FUNDING IS DETERMINED FOR THIS PROJECT DESIGN CAN BEGIN THE CITY OF COLLEYVILLE.
WHO'S ADJACENT TO US SUBMITTED CREEK CHEEK SPARGER ROAD IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF BEDFORD AND WAS APPROVED FOR MATCHING FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF 13 MILLION PRELIMINARY DISCUSSIONS WITH COLLEYVILLE INDICATE THAT THEY'D LIKE TO BEGIN DESIGN SERVICES THIS NEXT FISCAL YEAR.
IF THEY DO COME FORWARD WITH A DESIGN COST FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR, A BUDGET AMENDMENT CAN BE ADDED TO THIS BOARD'S JANUARY MEETING FOR, FOR CONSIDERATION.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE PROPOSED BUDGET OR THE STREET CIP BEFORE WE TAKE AN ACTION? UM, A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, ONE OF THEM WITH COLLEYVILLE WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT WIDENING, UM, CHEEKS PARK.
[00:50:01]
TAKES PARKER.IS THAT TO ADD A THIRD LINE FRATERNITY OR FULL FOUR LANES? IT'S NOT, NO, IT'S NOT A FULL FOUR LANES.
UM, IN THE PRELIMINARY DISCUSSIONS, WHAT THEY TALKED ABOUT IS THIS GOING TO BE SIMILAR TO GLADE ROAD WHERE IT'S, IT'LL HAVE A, I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S A CONTINUOUS CENTER TURN LANE, OR IF THEY'RE GOING TO ADD THAT CENTER TURN LANE IN, YOU KNOW, AS YOU GET TO EACH OF THE INTERSECTIONS.
SO IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A FULL FOUR LANES, TWO IN EACH DIRECTION.
IT'S NOT A FULL PLAN ON GLIDE.
SO YES, THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT.
UM, AND SORRY, ONE OTHER QUICK QUESTION.
THIS IS GOING TO BE COMING IN.
HAVE WE CONSIDERED, I REALIZED IT'S NOT BUILT YET, BUT ON HARWOOD WHERE THE TWO CHURCHES HAVE RESOLD NEXT TO ST.
MICHAEL, 164 HOUSES, I THINK COMPLETELY NEW STREETS.
SO WE CONSIDERED USING THAT SEALANT ON THOSE ONCE THEY'RE IN PLACE, IT'S SOMETHING WE CAN CERTAINLY CONSIDER, CERTAINLY BE IN GOOD SHAPE AND THEY'RE OFF OF OUR WOOD.
THEY'RE NOT HEAVILY TRAFFICKED.
IT'S SOMETHING WE CAN CONSIDER IN FUTURE YEARS.
JUST CURIOSITY IF IT'S 53 LOT 53 LOTS OF DIVISION.
WE'RE GOING TO GET THIS QUESTION BECAUSE WE ALWAYS GET IT WHEN YOU'RE YOUR ELECTED OFFICIAL IS ON THE WIDENING OF CHEESEBURGER ROAD WHERE THEY'RE NOT ENCROACHING INTO OUR GREEN BELT.
THEY'RE GOING TO GO INTO THEIRS TO WIDEN IT, OR IS IT, ARE WE GOING TO SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE? I DON'T KNOW THAT I HAVE THAT MUCH DETAIL.
CAN I JUMP IN, UH, WHAT I WAS TOLD BY THE COUNTY AND BY COLLEYVILLE IS THAT IT'S ALL GOING TO COME ON THEIR SIDE.
THE ONLY WORD THAT'S GOING TO BE DONE ON OUR SIDE IS GOING TO BE SOME DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS AND THEN THE NEW TRAIL.
BUT ANY, ANY FINAL DESIGNS AND EVERYTHING, WE'LL COME BACK TO THE COUNCIL FOR FINAL APPROVAL AND EVERYTHING, BUT THAT'S, THOSE ARE, THAT'S THE LAST THING I HEARD FROM BOTH PARTIES.
SO TO SUMMARIZE COLLEYVILLE IS TAKEN.
WE'RE GOING TO EXPAND ON THEIR SIDE BASICALLY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT.
SO NOW WE HAVE TO TAKE ACTION, UM, ON THIS, UM, SO ON THIS BUDGET, UM, WHAT IS THIS BOARD'S DESIRE? ALL RIGHT.
I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE AND I HAVE A SECOND.
UM, SO NEXT WE HAVE A DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON SHERYL AVENUE, SIDEWALK EDITION.
ALL RIGHT, TAYLOR, YOU'RE UP AGAIN? I THOUGHT I WAS DONE.
AT THE JANUARY MEETING, THE BOARD APPROVED A NEW SIDEWALK INSTALLATION PLAN PRIOR TO THE JANUARY MEETING CITY STAFF RECEIVED, UM, AN APPLICATION AND REQUEST FOR SIDEWALKS ALONG SHERYL AVENUE FROM THE HER CITY LIMITS TO BROWN TRAIL IN JANUARY, THE BOARD REVIEWED A NEW SIDEWALK INSTALLATION POLICY.
SO THE GENERAL GUIDELINES ON THE UPON, UM, FOR THE POLICY WERE TO IMPROVE SAFETY OF PEDESTRIANS, CREATE A SIDEWALK NETWORK THAT CONNECTS TO OTHER PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES, AND ALL REQUESTS WILL BE EVALUATED FOR CONSIDERATION IN THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR OR AS FUNDING BECOMES AVAILABLE.
SO THIS APPLICATION WAS INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKETS.
CITIZENS CAN RE UM, CAN REQUEST SIDEWALK, NEW SIDEWALK INSTALLATIONS, AS LONG AS THEY'RE RECEIVED BY APRIL 1ST OF EACH YEAR, THEN WE CAN BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD IN JULY TO BE, UM, INCLUDED WITH THE BUDGET.
SO IT WILL BE, IT CAN BE CONSIDERED FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR, AS LONG AS WE RECEIVE IT BY THAT DATE, CITIZENS WILL BE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A COMPLETED FORMS. AND THOSE FORMS ARE THE NEW SIDEWALK INSTALLATION REQUESTS CHECKLIST, AND THEN THE NEW SIDEWALK INSTALLATION PETITION AND PROPERTY OWNER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FORM.
SO WHAT THE CHECKLIST AND THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FORM BASICALLY SAYS IS THAT THE ITEMS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN CONSTRUCTION OF NEW SIDEWALKS, UM, THAT ARE GOING TO BE AT THE CITY'S EXPENSE, INCLUDE MAILBOX BOX, RELOCATIONS, MAILBOX, RELOCATIONS REMOVAL
[00:55:01]
OF EXISTING TREES AND LANDSCAPING WITHIN THE PROPOSED SIDEWALK PATH.SO WE WILL PAY TO HAVE THOSE THINGS REMOVED IN ORDER TO BUILD THE SIDEWALK.
THEIR DRIVEWAY ADJUSTMENTS WILL BE MADE IN ORDER TO MEET, UM, MINIMUM SLOPES AND THE INSTALLATION OF ANY RETAINING WALL, SUCH AS THE ONE AT THE BOTTOM, RIGHT.
UM, WILL BE CONSTRUCTED AS PART OF THE, AS PART OF THE SIDEWALK PROJECT AS NEEDED, AND THEN ADJUSTMENTS TO THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM.
SO I WANTED TO POINT OUT THE, UM, THE THIRD PHOTO TO THE RIGHT ON THE BOTTOM.
THAT IS A SIDEWALK THAT WAS, UM, CONSTRUCTED LAST YEAR.
SO IT WAS A LONG SHADY BROOK DRIVE AND IT WAS APPROVED TO BE CONSTRUCTED.
AND DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS, UM, THE RESIDENTS HAD COME OUT AND THEY DID NOT EXPECT THE WALLS TO BE THERE.
THEY DIDN'T, THEY DIDN'T REALIZE THE IMPACT OF A NEW SIDEWALK ON THEIR PROPERTIES.
AND THAT'S WHY THE, THE SIDEWALK INSTALLATION PRO UH, POLICY HAS PHOTOS, HERE'S PHOTOS.
AND HERE'S AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, JUST SO YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE A PLANTER BOX OUT THERE, IT'S GOING TO GO, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE IT OUT.
AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO BE, THAT'S GOING TO BE REPLACED.
IF THERE ARE TREES OUT THERE THAT NEED TO BE REMOVED, UM, IN ORDER TO BUILD THE SIDEWALK, THEY'RE GOING TO BE REMOVED.
AND NO, THEY WILL NOT BE REPLACED BY THE CITY.
SO AS SIGN THE PETITION, WE WANT IT, YOU KNOW, WE WANT THEM TO BE AWARE OF THOSE THINGS.
SO HERE ARE THE ITEMS THAT WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SIDEWALKS.
AGAIN, RE REPLACEMENT OF EXISTING TREES OR LANDSCAPING, ANY REPLACEMENT OF DECORATIVE DRIVEWAYS WILL BE REPLACED WITH STANDARD CONCRETE.
SO IF YOU HAVE SOME KIND OF PRETTY, UM, YOU KNOW, AGGREGATE DRIVEWAY, WHEN WE COME BACK AND REDO YOUR DRIVEWAY, IT'S GOING TO BE IN THE STANDARD CONCRETE.
AND THEN WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT PLANNING TO ADD ANY ADDITIONAL IRRIGATION.
SO IF YOU'LL LOOK AT THE PHOTOS, THE TOP LEFT IS A PLANTER BOX.
IF A SIDEWALK IS GOING TO BE COMING THROUGH THERE, IT WILL BE REMOVED.
IT WILL NOT BE REPLACED BY THE CITY.
SO PEOPLE WILL COME, YOU KNOW, PROPERTY OWNERS WILL COME BACK LATER AND THEY'RE LIKE, WELL, I HAD SOMETHING THERE ARE YOU, ARE YOU, ARE YOU GOING TO REPLACE IT? NO, THAT'S NOT THE INTENT.
THAT'S NOT PART OF THE BUDGET.
IT'S, IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT INCLUDED.
SO, UM, YOU KNOW, METER BOXES WILL MOVE THE BRIGHT, THE TOP, RIGHT.
SHOWS, YOU KNOW, WE, WE KIND OF MEANDERED AROUND THE TREES AS MUCH AS WE CAN, BUT THE ONE ON THE BOTTOM, RIGHT? THERE'S PRETTY DECORATIVE, UM, STONES AND OTHER PLANTER BOXES.
AND THAT KIND OF THING, THOSE THINGS WILL NOT, WILL NOT BE REPLACED.
UM, IF A SIDEWALK IS INSTALLED IN FRONT OF YOUR PROPERTY.
SO THE CITIZEN REQUEST PROCEDURE, UM, IS, IS AS FOLLOWS.
STAFF WILL EVALUATE THE NEED FOR ENGINEERED PLANS TO CONSTRUCT NEW SIDEWALKS BASED ON EXISTING TOPOGRAPHY UTILITIES OR PROPERTY OR PROPERTY LINES.
STAFF WILL PROVIDE THIS BOARD A PRELIMINARY COST OF DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION FOR CONSIDERATION AND AFTER APPROVAL BY THE BOARD, THE, AN ENGINEERING CONTRACT AND CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT WILL MOVE FORWARD FOR CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION AS NEEDED.
SO EVEN IF THE BOARD APPROVED IT TODAY, WE'RE NOT STARTING ON IT LIKELY TOMORROW, IF IT NEEDS, UM, ENGINEERED DESIGN.
SO IN A PREVIOUS SLIDE, I SHOWED YOU MARTIN DRIVE FLAT, NO DRIVEWAYS, SUPER EASY, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
UM, AS LONG AS THERE'S RIGHT OF WAY AVAILABLE, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, THAT CAN BE BUILT WITH OUR, WITH OUR, UM, MISCELLANEOUS CONCRETE CONTRACT FAIRLY QUICKLY WITHIN THE FISCAL YEAR.
AS LONG AS, AS FUNDING ISABELLE IS AVAILABLE FOR IT, THE REASON I'M TELLING YOU THIS IS, LET ME, LET ME SHOW YOU SHERYL AVENUE.
SO, UM, THEN AS I SAID THAT PRIOR TO THE JANUARY MEETING STAFF RECEIVED A REQUEST FOR SIDEWALKS ON SHERYL AVENUE, THE INTENT OF THE REQUEST WAS TO PROVIDE A SAFE WALKING PATH BETWEEN HARRISON LANE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND NEAR AND NEARBY RESIDENCES.
THE LENGTH OF THE REQUESTED SIDEWALK IS APPROXIMATELY 700 FEET, AND THERE'S ABOUT A 40 FOOT ELEVATION CHANGE FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER.
THE BOARD REQUESTED THAT STAFF PER THE APPROVED POLICY BRING ESTIMATED COSTS FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW SIDEWALK.
SO HERE'S A PHOTO RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.
THIS IS AT THE INTERSECTION OF SHERRILYN ACORN.
AS YOU CAN SEE IT DOWN IN THE DISTANCE, THE SIDEWALK IN, IN HEARST ACTUALLY ENDS ALSO THIS, THE, HER CITY LIMITS ARE RIGHT AT THE EDGE OF THE, OF THE BOX CULVERT.
SO THE CITY OF BEDFORD CAN'T GO INTO THE CITY OF HEARST TO BUILD, UM, SIDEWALKS, TO MAKE THAT CONNECTION, THE GAP BETWEEN THE REQUESTED SIDEWALK AND THE EXISTING SIDEWALK THAT THEY WANT US TO CONNECT TO IS APPROXIMATELY 135 FEET, AND IS WITHIN THE CITY OF HEARST.
SO CONSTRUCTION OF THE REQUESTS THAT SIDEWALK WILL NOT COMPLETE THE PATH BETWEEN HARRISON ELEMENTARY AND LOCAL RESIDENCES.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTOS, LOOK AT THE DRIVEWAYS, UM,
[01:00:01]
WHEN DRIVEWAYS ARE THAT STEEP, UM, IN ORDER TO BUILD A SIDEWALK AND MAKE IT ADA COMPLIANT, SIDEWALKS HAVE TO BE PRETTY FLAT.SO WHEN YOU HAVE A DRIVEWAY, THAT'S THAT STEEP, YOU HAVE TO BUILD IN THAT FLAT SPOT.
I MEAN, IT, IT AFFECTS THE DRIVEWAY IN SOME OF THOSE LOCATIONS, UM, MAYBE SIMILAR TO SHADY BROOK WHERE YOU'RE, YOU'RE BASICALLY CUTTING DOWN INTO THEIR YARDS, PUTTING IN A RETAINING WALL.
THESE COULD BE BASED ON THE GRADES HERE.
THEY COULD BE UP TO THREE FOOT TALL RETAINING WALLS, STANDARD, STANDARD CONCRETE.
UM, SO THERE'S, UM, THERE'S A LOT THAT THAT WOULD GO INTO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THESE SIDEWALKS.
UM, SO I'VE QUESTION BY, UM, THE TABLE.
SO CHERYL, HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO SIGN THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT TO GET THAT DONE? LIKE FOR SURE.
OR THE POLICY WE SET THE, WE SAID THAT IT WAS AT 100% OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS.
EVERYBODY HAS TO AGREE BECAUSE IF WE SET IT FOR ANYTHING LESS THAN THAT, THEN, THEN PEOPLE WILL BE UNHAPPY.
PEOPLE, SOMEONE WILL BE UNHAPPY, SOMEBODY WILL.
SO, UM, YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO REBUILD THE EVERYBODY'S DRIVEWAYS.
IN THIS CASE YOU WOULD ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO REBUILD EVERYBODY'S DRIVEWAYS.
SO THERE COMES A POINT WHERE YOU JUST SAY, OOH, CAN'T DO IT.
I MEAN, YEAH, WELL YOU, YOU WOULD COME BACK WITH A COST I ASSUME.
AND SO THEN WE WOULD SAY, WELL, THAT'S ONLY 12 HOUSES.
THAT'S ONLY SO MANY AND IT DOESN'T REALLY CONNECT TO HEARST.
SO THEN YOU WOULD SAY, IT'S PROBABLY NOT COST-EFFECTIVE FOR US TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT ON THAT STREET.
AND THEY DO, THEY HAVE TO DECIDE WHICH SIDE OF THE STREET THEY WANT TO PUT THE SIDEWALK OR, OKAY.
SO WE TALKED ABOUT THIS EARLIER TODAY, THE REQUEST OR LIVES ON THE SOUTH SIDE.
AND WHEN WE BROUGHT BACK TO, UH, TO A PETITION THAT THEY ACTUALLY HAD SIGNED BY THE PROPERTY OWNERS, ALL OF THEM LIVE ON THE SOUTH SIDE, BUT THAT WAS BEFORE THE POLICY.
AND THAT WAS SIMILAR TO SHADY BROOK WHERE EVERYBODY SIGNED IT, BUT THEY WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES OF SIGNING IT WOULD BE.
SO WHO DOES, WHO DOES THE INSTRUCTION ON THAT? I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY THE PERSON THAT TAKES THE, UH, THE PETITION AROUND, BUT THEN DOES THE CITY GET INVOLVED IN THE EXPLANATION TO EVERY NEIGHBOR OR IS IT JUST ASSUMED THAT THEY UNDERSTAND HOW IT'S GOING TO WORK? THERE'S A LOT OF DETAIL IN THE POLICY, SPECIFICALLY SPELLING THAT OUT.
AND THAT'S THE REASON WE WERE SO DETAILED IN THAT POLICY AND THE REASON WE ADDED THE PHOTOS.
SO THAT, I MEAN, HOPEFULLY THE REQUEST OR BRINGS, YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE THING TO EACH OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS AND SHOWS THEM ALL OF THE INFORMATION, BUT ACTUALLY AT THE, AT THE TOP OF THE, UM, OH, I CAN'T READ IT FROM HERE.
SO WE CALLED IT A PROPERTY OWNER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FORM BECAUSE IT BASICALLY SAYS JUST SO YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT GOING TO REPLANT YOUR TREES.
WE ARE GOING TO TAKE OUT WHATEVER WE NEED.
WE'RE GOING TO DO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO USE STANDARD CONCRETE AND BE AWARE THE BOTTOM ONE, CAN YOU, YEAH.
PROPERTY OWNER'S SIGNATURE BELOW IS AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT ANY NEW SIDEWALK INSTALLATION WITHIN THE RIGHT OF WAY MAY INCLUDE ANY OR ALL OF THE FOLLOWING IMPROVEMENTS, RELOCATION OF IRRIGATION, MAILBOXES, METER BOXES, REMOVAL OF EXISTING LANDSCAPING, INCLUDING PLANTINGS, HARDSCAPE, OR EXISTING TREES, REMOVAL OF DECORATIVE DRIVEWAYS, RECONSTRUCTION OF EXISTING DRIVEWAYS.
AND THE ADDITION OF RETAINING WALLS, 18 TO 36 INCHES IN HEIGHT OR MORE AS NEEDED WE'VE WE TRIED TO BE AS DETAILED AS WE COULD, BECAUSE IF THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT THEY BRING TO EACH OF THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS, IF YOU READ IT, I, WE WANT THERE TO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A PROBLEM.
WE WANT TO KIND OF GIVE YOU A RED FLAG HERE.
I MEAN, IF IT WAS FLAT, IF IT WAS SUPER FLAT AND IT'S SUPER EASY, THEN YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT LIKELY TO HAPPEN.
BUT AS I SAID, IN THAT SHADY BROOK PROJECT, UM, STAFF HAS MENTIONED THAT PROPERTY OWNERS CAME OUT AND THEY WERE A LITTLE SURPRISED WITH, WITH WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE.
AND THOSE, THOSE WEREN'T VERY TALL.
THEY WERE MAYBE 18 INCHES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO WE, WE JUST WANTED IT TO BE CLEAR TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS WHEN THEY'RE SIGNING IT JUST YEAH.
AND I I'M UNDER THE SUSPICION THAT THERE'S PROBABLY
[01:05:01]
LIKE, HEY, YOU KNOW, WOULD YOU LIKE A SIDEWALK OUT HERE? AND THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.AND SO, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE, I'M NOT SAYING THAT THEY DIDN'T READ WHAT I'M SAYING, THAT THERE MAY BE A FEW THAT DIDN'T, AND DON'T KNOW THE, UM, THE, THE CONSEQUENCES OF WHAT THEY JUST, WELL, AND THE AVERAGE PROPERTY OWNER, PROBABLY WOULDN'T, IT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU WOULD CONSIDER WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT A SIDEWALK IT'S FLAT AND IT'S EASY AND IT SHOULDN'T AFFECT, I MEAN, IT'S WAY DOWN THERE.
RIGHT? IT'S EXACTLY THAT AGAIN.
MOST PEOPLE DON'T SEE THE OBVIOUS, BUT WHAT WE NEED TO SEE IS THAT THE FACT THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR CHILDREN AND THAT'S AT NO COST, THEY DON'T CARE WHAT EXPENSE IT IS.
THEY WANT THE SAFETY OF THEIR CHILDREN.
SO IS THERE AN OTHER OPTION THAT WE HAVE THAT WE CAN FIX THIS TO HELP THEM OUT? HAVE YOU TOOK A LOOK AT, BECAUSE THIS DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM? UNFORTUNATELY, BECAUSE THEY WANT IT CONNECTED WITH HURST AND WE TALKED TO HER ABOUT IT SO WE COULD MAKE IT CONNECTED.
I BELIEVE THAT WE TOOK OUR POLICY FROM HEARST.
ARE YOU SAYING THAT THE PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE CHANGED THEIR MINDS? OKAY.
WHAT I'M SAYING IS THEY DID NOT SIGN THIS PETITION.
THIS POLICY WAS NOT IN PLACE AT THE TIME THAT THEY SIGNED A PETITION.
WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO THE PROPERTY OWNER.
WELL, CAN WE GO BACK TO THE SIDE WHERE YOU HAD? I THOUGHT I SAW A RECOMMENDATION FROM SARAH.
SO THE DESIGN COSTS, INCLUDING EXTENSIVE SURVEY OF THE PRIVATE PROPERTY, ALL THE WAY UP EACH OF THE POTENTIALLY EFFECTIVE DRIVEWAYS IS $80,000.
UH, FOR BUDGETING PURPOSES, A CONCEPTUAL DESIGN COST APPROACHES $300,000 FOR THIS, UM, FOR THIS LENGTH OF SIDEWALK, IT'LL MOSTLY AFFECT FOR ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS WITH AN INCREASE IN DRIVEWAY, SLOPES AND POSSIBLE RETAINING WALLS.
SO NOT ONLY COULD THERE BE RETAINING WALLS ACROSS THE FRONT OF THEIR PROPERTIES, IT COULD POTENTIALLY NEED RETAINING WALLS UP.
WELL, MOST LIKELY REQUIRE THE RELOCATION OF MAYBE POWER POLES, FIRE HYDRANTS, WATER METERS, AND THE ADDITION OF SIDEWALK WILL NOT CONNECT TO THE EXISTING SIDEWALK, FRONTING HARRISON LANE ELEMENTARY.
THERE'S A 330 UNDER 35 FOOT GAP.
THAT'LL BE IN THE CITY OF HURST.
UM, STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS THAT GIVEN THE SIGNIFICANT SCOPE OF THE REQUEST, STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE BOARD REQUIRE A NEW PETITION OR DENY THE PRODUCT, UH, DENY THE REQUEST.
CAN I ASK ABOUT THE 130 FEET? ARE THOSE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES FROM HEARST? BECAUSE I THOUGHT I SAW A BIG PARKING LOT ON ONE HAND, THE PARKING THERE'S A PARKING LOT DOWN TOWARD THE BROWN TRAIL END OF IT.
BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE PHOTO, UM, SEE WHERE THE EXISTING IN AND OUT IN THE DISTANCE SEE WHERE THE EXISTING ONE ENDS WHEN WE LOOKED AT IT EARLIER, UM, ON AN ARIEL IT'S THE, THAT GAP IS ON A, ON A, UM, RESIDENTIAL LOT.
I EXPECT THAT THEY WERE LIKELY DOING, YOU KNOW, CONSTRUCTING THE SIDEWALK.
AND I MEAN, I I'VE SEEN THAT IN OTHER CITIES AS WELL.
SO FROM A CITY PERSPECTIVE, DO YOU, DO YOU DO IT AGAINST THEIR WILL OR DO YOU STOP YOUR PROJECT? SO THE FACT THAT IT STOPPED, I, I, I THINK MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE A PROPERTY OWNER DIDN'T WANT IT.
SO EVEN IF WE, UM, IF WE COORDINATE WITH THE CITY OF HERS, IF YOU LOOK AT IT ON AN AERIAL VIEW, THE SIDEWALK WHERE IT ENDS THERE'S IS, UM, SHINY WHITE, IT'S PRETTY NEW.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAD BEEN CONSTRUCTED RECENTLY.
SO I DON'T, I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW THAT A PROPERTY OWNER STOPPED IT, BUT THAT'S WHAT I CAN ASSUME BASED ON THE CONDITION AND WHERE THEY STOPPED THE PROJECT C SAY IN SOME RESPECTS, THE HOUSES WERE NEVER BUILT FOR A SIDEWALK.
IS THAT CORRECT? THAT, I MEAN, THEY JUST DIDN'T THINK OF THEM AT THE TIME.
CAUSE THAT'S, IS IT ON THE SOUTH SIDE? SOUTH SIDE IS, IS ON THE SOUTH SIDE.
AND SO IT'S UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE, UM, YOU KNOW, I LOOK AT THE SOUTH SIDE AND I'M LIKE, THERE NEEDS TO BE SIDEWALKS AND THEN, BUT YOU BRING UP SOME GOOD, GOOD POINTS AND IT JUST WASN'T BUILT FOR IT.
UM, AND IT DOESN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
I THINK FOR ME, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THESE HOMEOWNERS NEED TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE SIGNING UP FOR IT SINCE IT WAS BEFORE THE POLICY.
SO MAYBE SENDING IT BACK FOR A NEW PETITION PERHAPS.
UM, SO THEY KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING IN KNOWING THE FACT THAT IT MAY NOT CONNECT.
ARE THEY STILL OKAY WITH THAT? UM,
[01:10:02]
EXACTLY.THAT'S LIKE, THAT'S A QUESTION UP FOR THE HOMEOWNERS, RIGHT? UM, SO THAT'S WHERE I'M LEANING.
UM, I'M OPEN TO HEARING FROM OTHER MEMBERS AS WELL.
I THINK WE NEED TO GO BACK TO THE HOMEOWNERS SHELL.
IS IT, YOU SAID TWO 70 OR THREE 70 AND THAT'S NOT EVEN BEING THE ENGINEERING ISN'T EVEN IN THAT FIGURE.
SO WHAT'S A NICE LITTLE, LIKE IF WE WERE DOING MARTIN, IF WE WERE DOING ALL OF MARTIN AND IT WAS A NICE LITTLE FLAT PIECE OF PROPERTY, HOW MUCH WOULD THAT, THAT COST, UM, GONE WITHOUT THAT MANY FEET TO, AS A REFERENCE, AS A REFERENCE SHADY BROOK WAS $195, THREE D THREE.
I BOUGHT THE SAME LINE, DOUBLE 200 FEET, 2000 FEET.
IS THAT WHAT YOU SAID? 2000 FEET.
SO, AND SO, SO THIS IS ABOUT HOW MUCH MORE DO YOU ASSUME THIS IS, THIS IS 300, SO IT'S ALMOST THREE.
THIS IS ABOUT 700 FEET, RIGHT? YEAH.
I THINK IT, WELL, I'M, I'M AFRAID THEY'LL COME BACK AND SAY, GO AHEAD AND DO IT.
AND IT'S STILL SOMETHING THAT WE MIGHT, WE REALLY NEED TO CONSIDER THE MONEY'S WELL, I MEAN, HOW MUCH IT COSTS AND HOW MUCH WE HAVE LEFT OVER IT'S IT IS UNFORTUNATE CAUSE THAT, THAT DRIVES UP THE COST.
SO, UM, EVEN IF WE DO DENY IT, THEY ARE STILL WELCOME TO APPLY AGAIN, CORRECT.
OR NO, I'D SAY THAT'S IT, WE'RE DONE.
THEY, IF THEY APPLY AGAIN, THEY WOULD NEED A NEW, A NEW PETITION, WHICH KNOW WHICH IS THE OTHER OPTION ANYWAYS.
WHAT IS THIS BOARD'S DESIRE? UM, YEAH, I MOVED TO DENY.
SO I HAVE A MOTION TO DENY, UH, BUT MS. STABLE, I HAVE A SECOND MR. HELPER, GO AHEAD AND VOTE.
SO WE'RE VOTING TO DENY, HANG ON A SEC.
SO, SO IT SHOULD BE UNANIMOUS FOR YES.
UM, WITH THAT, WE HAVE NO MORE ITEMS TO DISCUSS ON OUR AGENDA.
UM, SO, UM, DO I HEAR SOMEBODY TO MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN? I HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN.
