[COUNCIL RECOGNITION]

SO WELCOME TO THE PODIUM. OUR POLICE CHIEF, BOBBY LAPENNA AND DISPATCH SUPERVISOR ORLANDO PRIETO.

EVENING. EVENING. SO, I DON'T HAVE ANY WORDS BEFORE I GO AHEAD AND READ THE PROCLAMATION.

WELL, JUST LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THIS RECOGNITION.

ANYBODY IN THE POLICE OR FIRE SERVICES KNOWS HOW IMPORTANT DISPATCH IS.

IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RADIO KNOWING THAT THEY'RE THERE, THEY'RE WATCHING OVER YOU AND WATCHING OUT FOR YOU AND DOING EVERYTHING THAT COVERS YOU AND KEEPS YOU SAFE. IT'S A BLESSING FOR ALL OF US.

WE CHERISH EVERY MOMENT THAT THEY'RE PAYING ATTENTION AND JUST KEEPING US SAFE.

AND I THINK I SAID THIS THE OTHER THE OTHER NIGHT.

LOOKING AT SOME NUMBERS LAST YEAR FOR OUR DISPATCH CENTER, THE CALLS THAT THEY RECEIVED BETWEEN EMERGENCY 911 CALLS AND NON-EMERGENCY CALLS, THE PHONES RINGING EVERY SEVEN MINUTES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

AND THOSE PHONE CALLS LAST LONGER THAN JUST ONE MINUTE. SO, IT'S A VERY STEADY, IMPORTANT, BUSY JOB. I CAN'T DO IT. I WATCH THEM WORK. IT'S AMAZING TO WATCH THEM WORK.

IT'S A SCIENCE BECAUSE THEY'RE TALKING, LISTENING AND SENDING INFORMATION SO FAST OVER THE PHONE TO GET PEOPLE SAFELY THERE AND GET PEOPLE TAKEN CARE OF. IT'S AMAZING. ORLANDO IS DOING A FANTASTIC JOB SUPERVISING THIS GROUP OF FINE INDIVIDUALS THAT WORK HARD, AND THEY'RE LOOKING OUT FOR US. SO BEING ABLE TO APPRECIATE THEM THIS WEEK IS TRULY A BLESSING FOR US TO BE ABLE TO DO.

ABSOLUTELY. THEY'RE ABSOLUTELY THE BACKBONE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES. AND WE COULDN'T DO ANYTHING, ANYTHING WITHOUT THEM. SO, WITH THAT WHEREAS PUBLIC SAFETY TELECOMMUNICATORS ARE THE FIRST AND MOST CRITICAL CONTACT OUR CITIZENS HAVE WITH EMERGENCY SERVICES.

AND WHEREAS THE PUBLIC SAFETY TELECOMMUNICATORS ARE THE TRUE BACKBONE OF THE 911 SYSTEM, AND WHEREAS THE PROTECTION OF LIFE OF OUR CITIZENS AND FIRST RESPONDERS AND THE PRESERVATION OF PROPERTY IS DEPENDENT UPON THE QUALITY AND ACCURACY OF INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM CITIZENS BY THE CITY OF BEDFORD EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS CENTER.

AND WHEREAS, PUBLIC SAFETY TELECOMMUNICATORS ARE THE SINGLE VITAL LINK BETWEEN CITIZENS CALLING FOR HELP IN AN EMERGENCY AND THE EMERGENCY RESPONDERS WHO ARRIVE ON THE SCENE.

WHEREAS THE CITY OF BEDFORD RECOGNIZES THE PROFESSIONAL AND UNENDING SERVICES OF THE TELECOMMUNICATORS, WHO ANSWER 911 CALLS ON A DAILY BASIS. AND WHEREAS THE CITY OF BEDFORD IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING A HIGH QUALITY EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR OUR CITIZENS.

[00:05:05]

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

LIKE CHIEF SAID, I'M TRULY AMAZED AT WHAT THEY WHAT THEY DO FOR OUR CITY.

I KNOW IT'S ONE OF THE JOBS I DON'T THINK I WOULD BE ABLE TO DO. I REALLY DON'T.

OKAY. MOVING ON. WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS. DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ANYBODY SIGNED UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT, SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE RIGHT ALONG WITH OUR AGENDA AND MOVING ON TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA.

[CONSENT]

GOOD EVENING. I WILL MOVE THROUGH OUR CONSENT ITEMS. NUMBER ONE, CONSIDER APPROVAL OF FOLLOWING CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FROM MARCH 11TH, 2025, OUR REGULAR MEETING AND MARCH 25TH, 2025 REGULAR MEETING. ITEM NUMBER TWO. CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER, OR HER DESIGNEE TO ENTER INTO A ONE YEAR AGREEMENT WITH THE OPTION TO RENEW FOR THREE ADDITIONAL ONE YEAR PERIODS WITH ANDELL CONSTRUCTION, INC. FOR THE PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF HA FIVE HIGH DENSITY MINERAL BOND ADVANCED PERFORMANCE PAVEMENT PRESERVATION TREATMENTS THROUGH A MASTER INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF HURST IN AN AMOUNT UP TO 400,000 ANNUALLY, TOTALING 1.6 MILLION IF ALL EXTENSIONS ARE EXERCISED, AND THIS IS THE BOND MATERIAL THAT IS APPLIED TO PAVEMENT AT CERTAIN CONDITIONS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, WHERE IT IS OLDER PAVEMENT BUT STILL IN GOOD CONDITION.

AND SO THE MINERAL BOND EXTENDS THE LIFE OF THE PAVEMENT ON THOSE ROADWAYS.

SO THOSE PARTICULAR ROADS HAVE TO MEET THE CRITERIA IN ORDER TO BE SELECTED FOR THAT.

SO THE ROADS WERE ACTUALLY IDENTIFIED LAST SUMMER.

THAT WILL BE DONE. AND THOSE ARE GOING TO COVER THE NEIGHBORHOODS OF MAYFAIR HILLS, WHISPER WOOD, CAMELOT ESTATES, AND OAK VIEW HILLS. SO ALL OF THOSE WILL BE SORRY ABOUT THAT.

ALL OF THOSE WILL BE ADDRESSED UNDER THIS CONTRACT.

SO I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. GOOD. WHEN DO WE HAVE ANTICIPATION START DATE ON THOSE? NOW, I KNOW WE TRY TO KNOCK THOSE OUT PRETTY QUICKLY OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

DO WE KNOW WHEN THAT IS? AND I KNOW IT'S OVER THE SUMMER. IT IS OVER THE SUMMER.

I COULDN'T TELL YOU A START DATE AT THIS POINT. I KNOW THAT THE GROUP THAT WE WORK WITH IS VERY GOOD ON THE COMMUNICATION SIDE OF THINGS, BUT I DON'T HAVE A DATE. I'M SORRY, BUT I KNOW, AND WE ALWAYS POST THIS ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

AND I KNOW EVERYBODY KIND OF FREAKS OUT BECAUSE THEY'RE LIKE, WHY ARE THEY DOING SO MANY STREETS AT ONCE? IT'S BECAUSE IT'S DONE IN A 24 HOUR PERIOD.

IT'S ONE OF THOSE. IT'S QUITE AN AMAZING PROCESS TO WATCH, AND IT'S NOT PAINTING ON THE ROAD.

OBVIOUSLY, IT IS A MINERAL BOND. BUT YEAH, SO I'D SAY STAY TUNED FOR NOTICES AND LOOK FOR JOE IS HERE IF HE WANTS TO ADD.

DO YOU HAVE ANY DATES FOR US? DATES? YEAH. JUNE.

OKAY. JUNE. JUNE. ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD. JUNE.

ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS AS JOE WALKS AWAY? REAL QUICK, COUNCIL, IF YOU DON'T MIND, I'D LIKE TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT TO ONE OF THE MEETING MINUTES ON MARCH 11TH, 2025, AT THE REGULAR MEETING.

I WAS NOT HERE FOR THAT MEETING. IT JUST SAYS THAT I WAS ABSENT. I'D LIKE TO ADD THE VERBIAGE BECAUSE OF A FAMILY EMERGENCY, IF THAT WAS OKAY. I DON'T SEE ANY OBJECTIONS.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD. SO I DON'T MIND MAKING THAT MOTION WITH THOSE CORRECTIONS IN ADDITION TO MOTION OR MOVING TO APPROVE THE FOLLOWING CONSENT ITEMS WITH THAT AMENDMENT.

DO I HAVE A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER STEVES. LET'S GO AHEAD AND VOTE.

ALL RIGHT. THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU, COUNCIL.

THANK YOU. STAFF. ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON. WE GOT NEW BUSINESS ITEM NUMBER THREE.

[3. Consider a resolution authorizing the City Manager or her designee to enter into a contract with Motorola Solutions for the purchase of radio system infrastructure components in an estimated amount of $824,183.]

VERY GOOD. I GIVE YOU FIRE CHIEF BILL WALKER.

THANK YOU. AND GOOD EVENING, MAYOR. MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

SO AS COUNCIL AGENDAS GO, SOME ARE EASIER TO WRITE THAN OTHERS.

THIS IS NOT ONE OF THE EASIER ONES, BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY TECHNICAL PROJECT.

AND AS YOU SEE, THIS IS THIS IS THE START OF SOME MAJOR UPGRADES THAT ARE REQUIRED FOR OUR LAND MOBILE RADIO SYSTEM.

THE GOOD NEWS WITH THE WITH OUR LAND MOBILE RADIO SYSTEM IS THAT WE'RE PART OF A SIX CITY CONSORTIUM OR GROUP THAT THAT SHARES IN THIS.

[00:10:05]

THIS, THIS SYSTEM ORIGINALLY CAME INTO BEING IN 1995.

THE LAST REAL MAJOR UPGRADE WAS IN 2010. WE HAVE WHAT IS THE STATE OF THE ART LAND MOBILE RADIO TYPE SYSTEM? WHICH IS THE PREFERRED SYSTEM FOR ANY PUBLIC SAFETY GROUP? DIGITAL TRUNK SYSTEM. AND MOTOROLA IS REALLY THE THAT'S KIND OF THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN, BUT THEY DO A GREAT JOB.

AND OUR RADIOS ARE ALWAYS UP AND WORKING. SOMETHING'S GOING.

SORRY. YOU CAN PUT IT ON SILENT, BUT THAT ONE DOESN'T.

SILENCE. SO SORRY ABOUT THAT. THAT IS THAT'S THE BRICKS GOING OFF.

SO, ANYWAY ANYHOW, WITH THIS, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT TONIGHT.

YOU KNOW THIS IS THE RECOMMENDATION THAT CAME FROM THE GROUP THAT OVERSEES OUR RADIO SYSTEM.

AND THERE'S PROBABLY 4 TO $4.5 MILLION WORTH OF RADIO UPGRADES WHEN YOU COMPLETE THE WHOLE THING.

IT'S A SYSTEM UPGRADE TO THE NEWER TECHNOLOGY.

AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT 2010, NOT A LOT OF THINGS FROM 2010 ARE GOING TO BE WORKING IN 2030.

AND AS WE GET TO ABOUT 2930 IS WHEN WE REALLY HAVE A PROBLEM THAT THESE THINGS REALLY DO STOP FUNCTIONING WELL.

SO THE FIRST TWO THINGS ON THE LIST, AND THIS WAS PUT TOGETHER BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM MOTOROLA CHRONOLOGICALLY, WHICH WAY TO GO ARE WHAT'S BEFORE YOU TONIGHT? AND THAT'S THESE THINGS MIGHT NOT MEAN MUCH TO YOU, BUT PRIME SITE MIGRATION AND THE SITE CONTROLLERS THE TOTAL COST OF THAT IS $824,183, SPLIT BETWEEN THE SIX PARTNERS. AND SO EACH ONE OWES $137,000 363.

SO THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE IN LOOKING AT IT, THERE WAS CONVERSATIONS.

IF YOU DO IT ALL IN ONE FELL SWOOP, YOU'RE GOING TO BE DOING $4 MILLION.

AND THAT'S A BIG NUMBER. SO THE THOUGHT WAS, HEY, WE CAN DO THIS.

THIS IS PROBABLY A PROJECT THAT'S GOING TO BE MAYBE 6 TO 8 MONTHS.

AND THEN WE CAN GET READY FOR THE NEXT ONE. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S KIND OF OUT THERE, PROBABLY THE MOST ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE ITEMS IN THIS LIST, IF YOU LOOK AT IT IN TOTAL, IS THE SITE CONSOLES. THE DISPATCH CONSOLES. AND, YOU KNOW, THERE IS TALK OF POTENTIAL, SOME MERGERS OF SOME OF THE DISPATCH CENTERS. AND THAT'S A WHOLE NOTHER ISSUE.

BUT IN THAT SCENARIO, YOU HAVE LESS CONSOLES POTENTIALLY.

AND SO THERE WAS THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT. THERE'S BEEN DISCUSSION BETWEEN THE POLICE CHIEFS AND THE FIRE CHIEFS, PROBABLY FOR 20 OR 30 YEARS, ABOUT, HEY, CAN WE KIND OF BRING THIS THING TOGETHER? I HAVE NO NEWS FOR YOU ON THAT, BUT.

BUT IT GIVES US SOME TIME TO KIND OF LOOK AT THOSE THINGS. SO IF YOU HAVE GOOD TECHNICAL QUESTIONS AND TRUST ME, IT GOES OVER MY HEAD PRETTY QUICKLY. WE DO HAVE THE REP FROM CASEY MOORE HERE FROM MOTOROLA WHO CAN TO TRY AND EXPLAIN IT IN WAYS YOU MIGHT UNDERSTAND.

IT IS A VERY CHALLENGING THING, BUT IT'S THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS IS OUR LAND MOBILE RADIO SYSTEM.

EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY IS IN THE SAME SPOT. THIS IS NOT UNIQUE TO US.

THIS IS THE PRODUCT THAT ALMOST EVERYONE USES.

CERTAINLY, THE PRODUCT I USE WHEN I WAS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, AND EVERYONE'S ON THE SAME TIMELINE OF WHEN THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THESE THINGS.

AND IT'S JUST A IT'S A COMPUTER UPGRADE TO THE MODERN TECHNOLOGY.

SO WE'RE GOING TO GO FROM A BIG SEVERAL BIG BOXES TO 1 OR 2 SMALLER BOXES DOING THE SAME THING.

FUNCTIONALLY, IT'S NOT A CHANGE. WE'RE GOING TO CLICK THE RADIO.

IT'S GOING TO GO, BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO CLICK THE RADIO AND IT'S NOT GOING TO GO.

AND IT WILL DO IT THROUGH THE NEW SYSTEM. OKAY.

VERY GOOD. WELL, I MEAN THERE'S NO QUESTION THIS IS VITAL FOR OUR EMERGENCY RESPONDERS.

REAL QUICK ABOUT THE CONSORTIUM. WHAT SIX CITIES DO WE HAVE IN THERE? OBVIOUSLY, I'M ASSUMING. OBVIOUSLY, US. EULESS.

HURST. YES. YES. YES. GRAPEVINE. SOUTHLAKE. YEAH.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ADD ON THAT. SO, HAVE WE HAD ANY ISSUES IN THE PAST OF THEM NOT PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE? I WOULD IMAGINE NOT, BUT NO, THIS IS. YEAH. I MEAN, HONESTLY, THIS IS A, IT'S A PRETTY GOOD DEAL.

I KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE A ROUGH COST NUMBER, BUT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS THIS IS THIS IS THE WAY YOU DO THIS.

THIS IS ALL ANY, ANY AREA THAT THAT WANTS TO HAVE THIS SHARES IN THE COST.

IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO GO. AND THIS IS THERE'S NO BETTER SYSTEM OUT THERE.

THERE'S THE ONLY PLACE THAT'S NOT DOING THIS IS BECAUSE THEY PHYSICALLY CAN'T DO IT, EITHER THROUGH FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS OR THEY CAN'T.

THEY DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO SOME OF THE TOWERS AND COMPONENTS THAT WE HAVE HERE.

GOTCHA, GOTCHA. WITH THIS ONE. SO WE'RE TAKING A LEAD ON THIS, AND WE'RE GOING TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE COST.

SOMEONE, IN MY UNDERSTANDING, BACK IN 95, BEDFORD WAS THE LEAD TO START THIS.

AND SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE IF, YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE TAKE A GRANT THAT SERVICES MULTIPLE CITIES.

[00:15:02]

THAT'S ALL. THAT'S ALL GUARANTEED AND STATED AND WOULD HAVE ABSOLUTELY ZERO CONCERN OF ANY OF THE CITIES NOT SUPPORTING THAT.

AND THEY'RE ALL AWARE OF THIS. THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME UNDERSTANDING OF THIS AND OUR REPRESENTATIVE AND ALL THE SAME MEETINGS WE GO TO.

OKAY. VERY GOOD. I DO HAVE KIND OF A TECHNICAL FINANCE QUESTION FOR, FOR THIS ONE.

AS I CAN SEE, OUR ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, KAREN RIGGS, COMING UP TO THE PODIUM HERE.

SO WE'RE GOING TO BE PAYING FOR THIS OUT OF ARPA.

AND SO BUT FROM WHAT I'M SEEING IS WE'RE JUST PAYING OUR PORTION OUT OF ARPA.

BUT IF WE ARE FLIPPING THE BILL FOR MOST OF IT AND THEN GETTING REIMBURSED, WHERE'S THE OTHER WHERE'S THAT OTHER DOLLAR AMOUNT COMING FROM.

SO IT'S JUST CASH AND THEN IT WILL JUST BE REIMBURSED. IT'S JUST GOING TO BE A ONE FOR ONE, ONE FOR ONE. OKAY. SO, WE'RE JUST TAKING OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND AND THEN IT'LL BE REIMBURSED BACK TO US. ABSOLUTELY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. ALL RIGHT. THAT WAS EASY. YES, THAT WAS AN EASY ONE. THAT WAS AN EASY ONE. NEXT.

I DO HAVE SOME TECHNICAL QUESTIONS, BECAUSE I'D LIKE TO KNOW KIND OF A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT WE'RE WHAT WE'RE PURCHASING HERE.

AND TRULY, YOU KNOW, LET'S TRY NOT TO GET INTO THE WEEDS BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE ALL OF US.

SO PROBABLY 30,000 FOOT VIEW OF WHAT THIS IS.

SO A PRIME SITE MIGHT MIGRATION TO HYBRID PRIME SITE AND SITE CONTROLLERS.

WHAT IS THAT? THIS IS CASEY MOORE FROM MOTOROLA.

VERY GOOD. THANK YOU, CHIEF CASEY. THANKS, MAYOR. COUNCIL.

EXCUSE ME. SO, YEAH, CASEY MOORE, MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS.

BEEN HERE FOR QUITE A WHILE, ABOUT 26 YEARS. AND I LIVE UP IN KELLER.

SO THIS SAME SYSTEM IS WHAT, YOU KNOW, WE USE UP THERE.

SO THE TECHNOLOGY YOU HAVE IN PLACE BEEN IN MARKET SINCE ABOUT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW, 2010.

ABOUT TIME YOU GUYS PURCHASED. WE DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO KEEP A PRODUCT IN MARKET AS LONG AS WE CAN.

WE UNDERSTAND OUR CUSTOMERS. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THESE ARE BIG INVESTMENTS, BUT TECHNOLOGY MOVES. IT CHANGES.

THE TECHNOLOGY WE HAVE IN THERE WAS CUTTING EDGE AT THE TIME. WITHOUT GETTING INTO THE WEEDS, THERE'S LOTS OF BOXES TO DO THE CALL PROCESSING.

SO EVERY TIME FIREMEN, POLICEMEN KEYS UP, THAT AUDIO HAS HIT THE TOWER.

IT HAS TO GO A LOT OF PLACES. IT HAS TO GET PROCESSED AND SENT BACK OUT.

WHERE WE'RE AT NOW IS WITH THE POWER OF COMPUTERS, VIRTUALIZATION IN A COMPUTER, WE CAN TAKE THE SAME THINGS THAT WERE HARDWARE SPECIFIC BEFORE AND WRITE IT IN SOFTWARE AND VIRTUALIZE IT.

SO WE CAN TAKE ALL THESE INDIVIDUAL BOXES AND PUT THEM ON TWO SERVERS SO WE GET THE SAME LEVEL OF REDUNDANCY.

AND THEN THAT LETS US GO PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE.

SO IF THERE'S EVER A DESIRE TO MOVE ONE OF THESE COMPONENTS UP INTO THE CLOUD, WE VIRTUALIZED IT.

SO IT'S REALLY JUST TRYING TO STAY AHEAD OF THE MARKET. WE KNOW OUR CUSTOMERS EXPECT US TO HAVE PRODUCTS THAT ARE FORWARD LOOKING AND NOT STAGNANT.

IT IS PAINFUL, I GET IT. I MEAN, THIS IS, YOU KNOW, LIKE CHIEF SAYS ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND IT'S KIND OF TOUGH BECAUSE WE HAVE FIVE BIG PLATFORMS KIND OF COMING WITHIN THE NEXT ABOUT 6 OR 7 YEARS.

BUT IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE DO OFTEN.

I GET THE QUESTION A LOT. HOW LONG WILL THIS LAST? I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT. I DON'T KNOW THE FUTURE, BUT I WOULD EXPECT OUR PREDECESSOR PRODUCTS ARE IN MARKET TO GET 15-20 PLUS YEARS.

TECHNOLOGY IS MOVING FAST. WILL WE GET ANOTHER 20 OUT OF THIS? I COULDN'T TELL YOU, BUT IT'S.

THERE IS NO OTHER PRODUCTS PLANNED. THIS. THIS IS OUR NEXT GEN PLATFORM THAT WE'RE MOVING EVERYBODY TO.

SO OR AT LEAST PRESENTING TO EVERYBODY. SO YEAH.

SO THIS WILL BE 2020 YEARS 20 YEAR INVESTMENT BASICALLY FOR THE CITY.

AND AGAIN IT BENEFITS THE WHOLE REGION. THIS ISN'T JUST BEDFORD DOING THIS.

WE'RE SPLITTING THE COSTS WITH YOU KNOW, OUR 6 OR 5 OTHER CITIES AND, AND WE'RE DOING IT THAT WAY, WHICH IS, WHICH IS BENEFICIAL. RIGHT. VERY GOOD.

AS FAR AS THE OTHER ONES GO, THIS THREE, FOUR AND FIVE DISPATCH CONSOLES, G SERIES BASE STATION RADIOS, D SERIES, SDM CONTROLLERS THIS IS MORE OF THE SAME.

SOME OF THE SAME KIND OF TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATING IT IS SO LIKE FOR THE CONSOLES FOR EXAMPLE, THAT PRODUCT, I THINK, WAS INTRODUCED IN 2006 AND HAS GONE THROUGH A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT ITERATIONS WITHIN THE SAME PLATFORM.

WE'VE, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, IT'S WE TRY TO KEEP THINGS TEN, 15, 20 YEARS, BUT THAT REQUIRES US TO HAVE CONTRACTS WITH OUR SUPPLIERS, TECHNOLOGY CHANGES. THEY HAVE CHIPS THAT THEY HAVE TO COMMIT TO.

SO WE'VE KIND OF TAKEN THAT TO ITS LIMIT IN THE CONSOLE, FOR EXAMPLE, IS A VERY PURPOSE BUILT PRODUCT THAT DOES CONSOLES.

WELL. WE KNOW IN DISPATCH WE HAVE SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS. WE HAVE COMPUTER AIDED DISPATCH NOW VIDEOS COMING INTO THE DISPATCH CENTERS.

WE HAVE NEXT GEN 911 THAT LETS YOU SEND TEXT AND VIDEO TO 911.

ALL THESE THINGS ARE CONVERGING. WE'RE TRYING TO DO THE SAME THING WITH OUR PRODUCTS. SO OUR NEXT GEN CONSOLE IS GOING TO, YOU KNOW, NOT JUST BE THE PLATFORM THAT CAN BE A CONSOLE, BUT IT CAN ALSO DO THESE OTHER THINGS TO DO.

TO DO THAT, THOUGH, WE HAVE TO RETOOL THE WHOLE THING.

SO THAT PRODUCT IS GOING TO BE END OF LIFE AND PROBABLY THE NEXT.

I THINK IT GOES OUT TO ABOUT 2030. DECEMBER 2030 IS THE CURRENT FORECAST.

DATES AREN'T PULLING IN. IF ANYTHING, THEY MIGHT PUSH OUT, BUT RIGHT NOW THAT'S THE CURRENT END OF LIFE FOR THAT PLATFORM IN WHICH IF YOU WANT TO STAY OPERATIONAL ON THE NETWORK, YOU'D HAVE TO UPDATE THE CONSOLES TO THAT VERSION IS CALLED OUR ACCESS CONSOLES.

SO AND THEN THE OTHER ITEMS, THE BASE STATION, THAT'S KIND OF THE HEART OF IT.

[00:20:02]

THAT PRODUCT'S BEEN OUT THERE FOR QUITE A WHILE, SINCE EARLY 2000, SINCE OUR G SERIES.

AGAIN, PURPOSE BUILT HARDWARE. WE'RE MOVING TO A SMALLER FOOTPRINT.

WE CAN TAKE WHAT, SIX CHANNELS IN A RACK. NOW WE CAN GET 12 CHANNELS.

SO IT REDUCES YOUR FOOTPRINT IN THE SHELTER, REDUCES YOUR POWER REQUIREMENTS, AND THEN AGAIN, IT'S FORWARD LOOKING AS WELL. SO WE'RE ABLE TO BRING FUTURE THINGS LIKE SATELLITE BACKHAUL INTO IT.

I MEAN IT'S ALL IN AN ATTEMPT TO STAY RELEVANT ON OUR HARDWARE, AS WELL AS BE PREPARED TO INTRODUCE NEW FEATURES DOWN THE ROAD THAT THE CURRENT PRODUCTS JUST WON'T SUPPORT. OKAY, OKAY. VERY GOOD. WELL, YOU KNOW, TO YOUR POINT, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY IT'S A HUGE PRICE TAG.

BUT WE'RE FORTUNATE HERE IN THE CITY THAT WE'RE USING COUNTY FUNDS ARPA FUNDS FOR THIS.

SO IT'S NOT COMING OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND. SO THIS IS A GOOD, GOOD USE FOR THOSE FUNDS. AND NOT ONLY THAT, ITS INTEREST FROM THOSE FUNDS THAT WE'RE USING. SO THIS IS A VERY GOOD USE FOR THIS OBVIOUSLY MUCH NEEDED FOR THE REGION.

COUNCIL DO YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. I HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER PARKER TO APPROVE.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? I HAVE A SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER GAGLIARDI.

JOEY, I'LL GET YOU ON THE NEXT ONE. LET'S GO AHEAD AND VOTE.

ALL RIGHT. THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU, COUNCIL. THANK YOU, STAFF. THANK YOU SO MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT.

ITEM NUMBER FOUR CONSIDER RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER AND HER DESIGNEE TO ENTER INTO INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF EULESS RELATED TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF

[4. Consider a resolution authorizing the City Manager or her designee to enter into an interlocal agreement with the City of Euless related to the construction of Pipeline Road.]

WELCOME BACK. YES. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. ARE YOU TIRED OF TALKING ABOUT PIPELINE ROAD? I THINK MANY PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF HEARING IT. YEAH.

SO THIS IS THE FORMAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF BEDFORD AND THE CITY OF EULESS FOR SOME PEDESTRIAN AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS IMPROVEMENTS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ROAD. I RECALL, AS WE'VE DISCUSSED, THE ROADWAY ITSELF IS THE ENTIRE PORTION OF THE ROADWAY IS WITHIN THE CITY OF EULESS.

THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE THE SIDEWALK AND TYING THAT INTO PEDESTRIAN AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS ON OUR CITY SIDE.

SO OUT OF A $6.7 MILLION TOTAL BUDGET, THIS FOR THE PROJECT, THIS WAS 98,000.

YEAH. 98 870. IT IS JUST THE SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS, MANY OF WHICH HAVE BEEN UNDER CONSTRUCTION AS THEY WERE DOING THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ROAD.

SO THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL THIS ISN'T ADDITIONAL WORK THAT WE'RE THINKING OF RIGHT NOW.

THEY'VE BEEN DOING THIS WORK. AS THEY GO ALONG THE PROJECT ON THE NORTH SIDE.

SO AS THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN UNDERWAY, WE RECOGNIZED THAT, HEY, THERE'S SOME IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE HAPPENING ON OUR SIDE THAT NEEDED, YOU KNOW, THAT NEED TAKEN CARE OF. AND SO AS THEY'VE BEEN GOING, THEY'VE BEEN DOING THESE IMPROVEMENTS.

SO THIS IS ALMOST LIKE A CLEANUP. CORRECT. YES.

RIGHT HERE. THIS IS A CLEANUP ITEM OF STUFF THAT'S RIGHTFULLY SHOULD BE WITHIN OUR CITY AND OUR COSTS.

THAT, THAT THEY WOULD NOT HAVE DONE WITHOUT SOME AGREEMENT.

THE AGREEMENT ITSELF AND BRINGING IT TO YOU HAS BEEN UNDER DISCUSSION FOR SOME TIME.

WELL, BEFORE ME AND BEFORE THE PROJECT ACTUALLY STARTED.

VERY GOOD. VERY GOOD. SO WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO GO INTO DETAIL ABOUT WHAT IS BEING DONE AND WHAT SCHOOL IS DOING? SO IN GENERAL, WHAT ULAS IS DOING. WELL, I'M NOT I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT FOR OUR SIDE. FOR OUR SIDE.

WE'RE SAYING WHAT'S THE 97,000 GOING FOR? YEAH.

SO THE 97,000. YEAH. 98. EIGHT. 70. IS FOR SIDEWALK IS BASICALLY FOR SIDEWALK SECTION.

THERE'S A FEW OTHER MISCELLANEOUS. THERE'S A GUARDRAIL, PART OF WHICH THE CABLE.

WAS IT CABLE? CABLE WALL? I HAVE A TEXT CABLE BARRIER SYSTEM.

CABLE BARRIER? WHAT IS THAT? SO THAT IS THE TOP PART.

IT'S BASICALLY THE PEDESTRIAN. DO NOT FALL OFF THIS PORTION OF A RETAINING WALL.

OKAY. THAT THAT THE PROJECT WILL BE BUILDING.

JUST EAST OF THE PARK THERE. AS THE ROAD KIND OF DROPS DOWN AND IS THE SIDEWALK THAT WE'RE, THAT WE'RE DOING, IS IT OBVIOUSLY THAT'S NOT A BIG AMOUNT.

SO WE'RE JUST PATCHING THINGS UP. CORRECT. THERE'S A COUPLE OF JUST CONNECTING PORTIONS.

IT'S NOT THAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH AND MASS GRADING A BUNCH OF NEW SIDEWALK, AND THESE ARE PORTIONS EITHER THAT EXISTED AND NEEDED TO BE LIFTED BECAUSE THE ROAD IN PORTIONS HAS BEEN REGRADED. EITHER HIGHER OR LOWER JUST TO, TO COVER DRAINAGE AND WHATNOT.

SO YOU CAN'T HAVE AN EXISTING LEAVE AN EXISTING SIDEWALK EIGHT INCHES LOWER THAN THE STREET RIGHT NEXT TO IT.

SO, SOME MISCELLANEOUS IMPROVEMENTS LIKE THAT.

GOTCHA. SO YEAH. SO WE GOT THE SIDEWALKS, WE GOT THE BARRIER SIDEWALK RAMPS, WE GOT THE TECH STOCK CABLE BARRIER SYSTEM AND THEN THE CONCRETE MOW STRIP AND FLUME.

SO, THAT'S ALL. AND THEN ALSO WHO WAS ABLE TO GET US TO PAY FOR THE FOR THE RETAINING WALL ON OUR SIDE.

[00:25:06]

THAT WAS DISCUSSIONS BEFORE ME OF WAS IT NECESSARY? WHOSE CITIZENSHIP DID IT BENEFIT MOST? AND WHO SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT? OKAY. SO YOU AGREED TO PAY $130,000 FOR THE BLOCK RETAINING WALL.

THAT'S GOING TO BE ON OUR SIDE, CORRECT? ALL RIGHT. WELL, THAT WAS SO NICE OF THEM. I'D LIKE TO THANK THE CITY OF EULESS FOR THAT GENEROUS DONATION.

BUT WE ARE GOING TO BE TAKING CARE OF THAT IF ANYTHING ELSE HAPPENS TO IT. RIGHT. ANY KIND OF REPAIRS. WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO TO EULESS AND GO, HEY, THAT RETAINING WALL THAT YOU THAT YOU GIFTED US. YEAH. OKAY. SO WE'LL BE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT GOING FORWARD.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, THAT'S GOOD. ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? NOPE. NOPE. COUNCIL MEMBER. WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION? YES. MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. ALL RIGHT. MOTION TO APPROVE BY COUNCILMAN DONOVAN BRANDON.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM GAGLIARDI.

LET'S GO AHEAD AND VOTE. ALL RIGHT. THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

THANK YOU. COUNCIL. THANK YOU, STAFF. GOOD JOB JOE.

NEXT UP MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS. ALL RIGHT.

[5. Mayor/Council Member Reports]

HAD THE L.D. BELL GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY ON MARCH 26TH.

THAT WAS A NICE, NICE, NICE CEREMONY. I WANT TO THANK THE DISTRICT FOR INVITING US AS WELL.

I KNOW COUNCIL MEMBER PARKER WAS THERE AS WELL FOR THAT.

IT WAS A VERY NICE CEREMONY. JUST SHOWING HOW MUCH WE'RE DOING IN OUR IN OUR AREA, IN OUR DISTRICT IS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE PROJECTS GOING ON IN OUR CITY, NUMEROUS, NUMEROUS PROJECTS, RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.

COUNCILMAN WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE BUILDING? IF YOU CAN GET YOUR MIC TO WORK THERE, IT'S PRETTY IMPRESSIVE.

AND IT'S NICE THAT THE CITY OF BEDFORD HAS SOME PLACE BIG ENOUGH TO HOLD THAT MANY PEOPLE.

EXACTLY. AND YOU KNOW, WHEN I WALKED INTO THAT FIRST TIME, THEY HAD THAT HUGE BAR IN THE BACK AND I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, WHAT A PLACE FOR EVENTS. AND I WAS TALKING TO SOME OF THE EMPLOYEES THERE, SAID THIS WAS THE FIRST EVENT THAT THEY HAD THAT WAS NOT AFFILIATED, OBVIOUSLY, WITH ROCK ISLAND. THAT THEY HAD HELD A BANQUET. AND HOPEFULLY THAT'S A SUCCESS. AND I HOPE THEY UTILIZE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE WITHIN OUR CITY BECAUSE IT'S A HUGE SPACE.

SO AND I THINK WE'RE LACKING IN SPACE TO HAVE EVENTS.

I AGREE. I AGREE. SO, IT'S REALLY COOL TO HAVE IT THERE.

VERY GOOD. AND THEN LASTLY, ANOTHER GOOD ONE IS A GRAND OPENING FOR THE ANDY'S FROZEN CUSTARD.

SO I'D LIKE TO THANK THEM FOR GIVING THE LIBRARY THIS OPPORTUNITY.

I WANT TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE LIBRARY WILL BE CLOSED ON APRIL 18TH, WHICH IS GOOD FRIDAY, AND APRIL 20TH, WHICH IS EASTER IN BETWEEN THE 19TH. THERE WILL BE THE LIBRARY WILL BE OPEN AND THERE WILL BE A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON.

AND THEN IN ADDITION, THE THREE OF US IN A ROW RIGHT HERE WENT TO THE NORTHEAST LEADERSHIP FORUM LUNCHEON.

SO THAT'S THREE MEALS I HAD LAST WEEK BECAUSE I'M ON CITY COUNCIL AND MY CLOTHES STILL FIT.

SO ANYWAY THE MAYOR OF. SO YOU'RE THE ONE WHO LIKES THE MEETINGS? YES. SHE DOES. YEAH. WELL, AND I ALSO I DO LIKE MEETING SOMETIMES, BUT I ALSO WENT TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE $2 SUNDAYS, AND IT WAS ALL FOR THE CITIZENS. THAT'S RIGHT.

WELL, THAT'S RIGHT. AND LAST WEEK, THE MAYOR OF HURST WON THE OUTSTANDING CITIZEN.

THAT'S CORRECT. THAT IS CORRECT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD. THANK YOU. MAYOR. THE PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD MET LAST WEEK.

THEY'RE CURRENTLY REVIEWING SHADE STRUCTURES FOR GENERATION PARK OVER THE PLAYGROUND, AND THAT'S MUCH NEEDED AND THE RESIDENTS HAVE REALLY REQUESTED THAT.

WE'LL HOPEFULLY, POSSIBLY BY THE END OF THE YEAR.

WE SHOULD HAVE IT INSTALLED OVER THOSE PLAYGROUNDS. AWESOME. THAT'S PHENOMENAL.

SO, YEAH, WE'LL BE READY FOR WHEN SUMMER COMES BACK AROUND, BECAUSE WE'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO NEED THOSE SHADE STRUCTURES. VERY GOOD. GOOD.

NEXT UP, SENIOR ADVISORY BOARD. NOTHING TO REPORT.

NOTHING TO REPORT. ALL RIGHT. SOUNDS GOOD. ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON.

WE HAVE CITY MANAGER STAFF REPORTS. ALL RIGHT, JUST A COUPLE THINGS.

[7. City Manager/Staff Reports]

COMING SOON ITEMS. SO OUR STAFF HAS MADE PROGRESS ON MAKING AMENDMENTS TO OUR SHORT TERM RENTAL ORDINANCE.

SOME MODIFICATIONS TO THAT WILL BE COMING BACK TO YOU ALL, LIKELY YOUR NEXT MEETING.

AND THEN ALSO, WE HAVE MADE PROGRESS IN OUR WORKING THROUGH OUR MULTIFAMILY ORDINANCE AS FAR AS THE INSPECTION PROGRAM, INCORPORATING COMPONENTS FROM OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT AS WELL ON THAT, AND THEN THE TENANT RIGHTS COMPONENT ALSO.

SO THAT WILL BE COMING FORWARD AS WELL. AND THEN AFTER THAT, WE WILL ALSO BE BRINGING FORWARD UPDATED BUILDING CODES AND FIRE CODES FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. SO A LOT OF TECHNICAL THINGS. BUT AGAIN, THOSE ARE KIND OF THE ROADMAP ITEMS THAT WE WORK UNDER EVERY DAY.

AND THAT'S BASICALLY THE RULES THAT WE ENFORCE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.

SO THOSE ARE IMPORTANT. AND WE'RE EXCITED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THOSE AND GET THOSE UPDATED.

ALSO ALONG THOSE LINES JUST KIND OF AN UPDATE ON OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT YOU ALL APPROVED LAST FALL.

SO WE HAVE PUT TOGETHER AN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AT THE STAFF LEVEL WITH OUR RECOMMENDED KIND OF PRIORITIZATION OF THOSE ITEMS. IT IS QUITE AN EXTENSIVE DOCUMENT. SO WE WILL BE BRINGING THINGS FORWARD TO YOU IN THE NEAR FUTURE ADDRESSING ALL OF THOSE ITEMS. BUT AGAIN, WE DID HAVE TO PRIORITIZE. IT IS A MULTI-PAGE DOCUMENT, BUT WE WILL CERTAINLY SHARE THAT AS WE MOVE ALONG.

AND THEN ALSO GET SOME INFORMATION OUT TO THE PUBLIC.

THAT IS CERTAINLY ONE OF THOSE DOCUMENTS. THE LAST THING WE WANT IS TO INVEST IN ALL THAT TIME AND EFFORT AND MONEY TO CREATE THAT.

AND IT IS IT IS NOT ONE OF THOSE DOCUMENTS THAT WILL BE SITTING ON A SHELF. SO WE HAVE SOME AGGRESSIVE PLANS TO WORK THROUGH THAT.

THAT INVOLVES JUST ABOUT EVERY ACTIVE DEPARTMENT IN THE CITY TO PULL THOSE THINGS TOGETHER.

SO, SO MANY THINGS AS WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THAT, PEOPLE SAY, WHY IS THIS THIS WAY? WHY IS IT THAT WAY? THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ADDRESSES SO MANY OF THOSE HISTORICAL ITEMS THAT, AGAIN, WE HOPE TO MOVE FORWARD AND MAKE SOME PROGRESS ON GOING FORWARD.

AND THEN ALSO ALONG THOSE LINES, ROLLING UP INTO COUNCIL'S PRIORITIES IS THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

WE HAD HILLARY COME A FEW MEETINGS AGO, AND SO I HAVE HAD TO LOOK THROUGH HER RECOMMENDATIONS AND HER NOTES ALONG THOSE LINES.

SO I'LL BE BRINGING THAT FORWARD BACK TO YOU ALL IN A LITTLE BIT MORE REFINED DOCUMENTS.

AND THEN AT THAT POINT, WE WILL MAKE LAST MINUTE TWEAKS AND I WILL LET YOU ALL APPROVE THAT, AND THEN WE WILL ADOPT THOSE. AND THEN AGAIN ESSENTIALLY THE QUESTION WILL BE ASKED GOING FORWARD OF ANY ITEM BEING BROUGHT FORWARD TO YOU ALL,

[00:35:02]

AND SO THAT'S REALLY HOW WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THINGS GOING FORWARD. SO, THAT'LL BE BACK IN FRONT OF YOU FOR ADOPTION IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MEETINGS AS WELL.

SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE. ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

OKAY. MOVING ON. WE HAVE AN ITEM ACTUALLY FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION.

[EXECUTIVE SESSION]

SO WE WILL BE BACK SHORTLY. OKAY. THAT'S FINE.

ALL RIGHT. SO WE'RE BACK NOW. AND I BELIEVE WE NEED TO MAKE A MOTION SO COUNCIL MEMBER.

[8. Take any action necessary as a result of the Executive Session. ]

AND MAYOR. MAYOR PRO TEM, GO AHEAD AND SECOND THAT UNLESS YOU WANT A SECOND.

YOU GOT IT. GO AHEAD AND SECOND THAT. ALL RIGHT, COUNCIL, LET'S GO AHEAD AND VOTE.

ALL RIGHT. THAT PASSES. THANK YOU, COUNCIL. ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON.

I DON'T SEE ANYTHING ELSE ON MY AGENDA. MAYOR COGAN.

YES? I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE TO ADJOURN. ALL RIGHT.

WE HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN. MOVE TO ADJOURN BY MAYOR PRO TEM GAGLIARDI.

I HAVE A SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER DAWKINS. ALL IN FAVOR? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE ADJOURNED AT 6:52.

THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. IT'S ONLY TAKEN FIVE YEARS.

MICHELLE. AMY. APRIL. APRIL 26TH.
