OKAY, SO NOW I CALL THIS, UH, WELL, I WAIT FOR THE THUMBS UP BACK THERE, BUT, UH, WE HAVE A, WE CALL THIS MEETING IN THE BAYTOWN CITY COUNTY WORKS SESSION ORDER.

IT IS FIVE 17.

WE DO HAVE A QUORUM.

WE'RE IN BAYTOWN HALL, UH, BAYTOWN, UH, CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS, WE

[a. Receive a presentation regarding the City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP).]

HAVE ITEM ONE A, RECEIVE A, UH, PRESENTATION REGARDING THE CITY'S CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

MS. BRINKLEY, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

ANDREA BRINKLEY WITH THE PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT.

SO JUST WANNA PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF OUR, UH, PRESENTATION THIS EVENING.

AND, UH, GONNA COVER INFORMATION THAT'S AVAILABLE ABOUT THE CIP TO THE PUBLIC, OUR INVESTMENT BREAKDOWN, AND WHAT WE'RE IN INVESTING IN WITH OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

UH, THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS FROM LAST FISCAL YEAR, THE CIP PROJECTS THAT ARE GONNA BE ACTIVE AND THE STAFF THAT'S MANAGING THEM.

AND THEN WE'LL PROVIDE SOME KEY PROJECT UPDATES.

SO, LET'S DIG IN.

UM, THIS IS A SLIDE THAT'S AVAILABLE ON OUR CITY WEBSITE.

JUST WANTED TO PROVIDE IT BECAUSE IT DOES PROVIDE A HIGHLIGHT OF SOME OF OUR MAJOR PROJECTS, THE BROOK PROJECT, ANIMAL SHELTER, BOW EAST, UH, DRAINAGE PROJECTS, AND OUR FIRE TRAINING FACILITY.

SO THIS IS JUST A COMMON SLIDE JUST FOR, UM, RECOGNIZING OUR BETTER BAYTOWN PROGRAM.

WE ALSO HAVE A, A STORY MAP THAT HAS A LOT OF OUR, UH, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, UH, PROJECTS LISTED.

EACH LITTLE TAB INCLUDES A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THE PROJECT IS, THE REASON FOR THE PROJECT, AND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, UM, COST AND THE STATUS.

SO THIS'LL BE UPDATED, YOU KNOW, AND COMING IN AS, UH, PROJECTS ARE UPDATED BETWEEN DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION.

SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CITIZENS CAN ACCESS, UM, ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

WE ALSO HAVE SOME MEMO INFORMATION ON THERE, PROJECT SPECIFIC.

SO JUST WANNA PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF A OVERVIEW OF THAT.

THIS IS OUR INTERNAL, UM, DASHBOARD, AND SO WE TRY TO TAKE A LOT OF OUR INFORMATION FROM A LOT OF DISPARATE SOURCES AND PUT THEM IN ONE PLACE.

AND PMS UPDATE THIS.

UM, WE HAVE ABOUT, UH, 94 PROJECTS.

AND SO LAST YEAR ABOUT THIS TIME WE HAD ABOUT 50.

SO THIS IS ROLLING IN THE FISCAL YEAR, 22 PROJECTS INTO THE STACK.

AND SO WE'VE GOT A LOT OF ACTIVE PROJECTS.

WE DO TRACK WHEN THESE PROJECTS WILL COMPLETE.

THEY'RE EXPECTED BID DATE, AND WE HAVE A LITTLE LINK IN THERE TO THE STORY MAP JUST IN CASE THEY NEED TO CHECK.

BUT THIS IS OUR DOLLAR DONUT HERE, UH, WHAT I CALL THE DOLLAR DONUT IN THE CENTER.

A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAKDOWN OF HOW THE PROGRAM IS SET UP FOR WHAT OUR ACTIVE PROJECTS ARE.

SO THIS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT WHEEL, UH, IN THE MIDDLE, BUT I'M GONNA GO INTO THAT JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE.

SO HERE'S ANOTHER, UH, VIEW OF THAT.

THAT'S OUR, UH, PIE CHART OF OUR INVESTMENT.

THIS SPANS TWO YEARS, SO THIS IS TWO YEARS OF ACTIVE PROJECTS, AND SO THERE'S ACTUALLY QUITE A BIT THAT'S GOING ON IN THE FACILITIES.

SO YOU MIGHT LOOK AT THAT YELLOW COM, YOU KNOW, PORTION OF THE CHART AND SAY, WHAT'S WITH THAT $153 MILLION? WELL, TWO MAJOR PROJECTS MAKE UP THE MOST OF THAT, AND THAT'S OUR PUBLIC SAFETY, UH, CAMPUS AND ALSO OUR HOTEL AND CONVENTION CENTER.

SO THE HOTEL AND CONVENTION CENTERS KICKED OFF, AND WE ARE TRACKING THAT ALONG WITH, UH, SEVERAL MAJOR TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS.

SO OUR GARTH ROAD PROJECT IS IN THAT LIGHT BLUE TRANSPORTATION SECTION, AND SOME OF OUR MAJOR, UH, WASTEWATER PROJECTS ARE IN, UH, THE DARK BLUE.

SO WE HAVE A, A LARGE EAST DISTRICT PROJECT, AND THEN WE'VE GOT SEVERAL UTILITY PROJECTS.

OUR ANNEXATION UTILITIES PROJECT, FOR EXAMPLE, IS IN THE GREEN.

AND THAT, UH, MEDIUM COLOR BLUE THAT IS RIGHT BY THE BWA, UM, TITLE, THAT'S $65 MILLION RIGHT THERE.

ABOUT 49 OF THAT IS OUR BWA EAST PLANT.

SO AS THAT PROJECT CLOSES, THAT'LL ROLL OFF AND THAT KIND OF PIE CHART WILL ADJUST.

SO THIS CHANGES A LOT, BUT I JUST WANTED TO SHOW KIND OF HOW WE'RE INVESTING OUR MONEY, AND I THINK IT'S A VERY FAIR DISTRIBUTION BETWEEN OUR FACILITIES, WHICH ARE VERTICAL PROJECTS, OUR UTILITIES FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER, AND THEN ALSO OUR TRANSPORTATION.

SO AS FAR AS A BALANCE, I THINK IT'S, UH, VERY WELL BALANCED, AND YOU'RE STARTING TO SEE THAT LITTLE CHUNK OF ORANGE AS WE EXPAND THAT INVESTMENT IN DRAINAGE.

SO AS THOSE PROJECTS ARE FUNDED AND WE'RE DOING A LOT OF WORK TO SEEK GRANT FUNDING, THAT LITTLE PUSH THAT'LL PUSH OUT AND BE A LITTLE BIT WIDER.

SO I WANTED TO PROVIDE JUST A LITTLE BIT OF AN UPDATE, UM, AS FAR AS, UM, OUR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS OF WHAT'S GONE ON, AND YOU MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE SEEN, UM, OR BE ABLE TO STOP ON THE, UH, FEEDER ROAD FOR THE ANIMAL SHELTER, BUT YOU CAN SEE A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT'S INSIDE.

SO THAT'S KIND OF THE INTERIOR.

OUR HVAC BUILD OUT, THAT'S OUR ROOF THAT'S COMING ON, THAT SNOW AND ICE SHIELD IS BEING COVERED BY THE COMPOSITE ROOF.

SO NOW WE HAVE ROLLING BROOK, AND THAT PROJECT'S ABOUT 50% COMPLETE.

SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF THE CONSTRUCTION, JUST SOME PHOTOS.

THERE WAS A FAIR AMOUNT OF WORK THAT WAS COMPLETED,

[00:05:01]

AND THAT PROJECT'S ROUGHLY HALFWAY THROUGH.

SO JUST A LITTLE BIT OF CLOSEUP SHOTS, UH, FROM OUR FIELD STAFF.

AND THIS WAS A SHATTERED PANEL THAT WE FOUND AT THE INTERSECTION OF DECKERS FOR THREE 30.

SO THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF AN ADD THERE THAT WE HADN'T ANTICIPATED, BUT THAT'S, UH, NOW COMPLETE.

AND SO THAT BRIGHT WHITE CONCRETE IS THE TESTAMENT TO, UH, THE ROADWAY BEING DONE.

AND WE'RE RIGHT AT THE OTHER SIDE, PHASE THREE AND FOUR, RIGHT AT THE APARTMENTS.

WE'VE GOT AN A TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE FROM THEM OR FOR THEM TO ACCESS THAT.

SO WE'RE CONTINUING VERY, UH, QUICKLY.

SO LET'S TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

UM, THIS IS ABOUT $54 MILLION, $55 MILLION IN COMPLETED PROJECTS.

AND SO THE LION'S SHARE OF THAT IS THE BOW EAST PROJECT, BUT I WANTED TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT AND SHOW YOU ALL, UH, SOME PHOTOS.

SO THIS IS OUR CHEMICAL FEED IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT.

SO IF YOU ALL RECALL THE ICE STORM AND EVERYTHING THAT WE HAD BUILT BURST, PRETTY MUCH, THERE WAS, THERE WAS A PHOTO I THOUGHT OF PUTTING IN HERE OF OUR GIANT ICEBERG.

THIS IS THE ONLY ICEBERG THAT I THINK WE'VE EVER HAD IN BAYTOWN, BUT IT'S, UM, OF COURSE IT MELTED PRETTY QUICKLY.

BUT THIS PROJECT WAS MAJOR, UH, CHEMICAL FEED, JUST REPLACING OLD TANKS, PUTTING IN NEW PUMPS, AND PUTTING IN A METERING STATION.

SO THERE'S SOME WORK AND PROGRESS THERE, AND WE'VE SINCE, UM, ADDED SOME THERMAL BLANKETS TO SOME OF THOSE TANKS.

SO THOSE ARE IN PLACE TODAY.

SO THIS IS ANOTHER, UH, PROJECT THAT WE COMPLETED WITH DRAINAGE.

THIS WAS A GRANT FUNDED PROJECT WITH CDBG DISASTER RELIEF FUNDS.

THIS IS FROM THE 2016 FLOODS.

SO THAT WORK FOR PHASE ONE SHOWN IN THAT YELLOW OUTLINE IS COMPLETE TODAY.

SO THIS IS THE, KIND OF THE INSET HERE IS SHOWING ROOSTERS KIND OF OUR LANDMARK THAT WAS KIND OF THE EPICENTER OF THE FLOODING.

AND SO WE HAVEN'T HAD, UM, THE, ANY FLOODING THAT'S BEEN TO THAT KIND OF, I GUESS AN EVENT THAT'S CREATED SUCH A, A FLOOD PROBABLY SINCE THEN.

BUT WHAT WE DO KNOW TODAY IS THAT THE IMPROVEMENTS ARE WORKING.

WE'RE NOT SEEING ANY OF THAT PONDING THAT WE WERE, YOU KNOW, RISING UP 12, 16, 18 FEET BEYOND THE CURB.

AND THEN OUR BA SURFACE WATER PLANT, THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT VIEW THAN SOMETIMES THE VIEWS THAT YOU CAN GET JUST, UM, FROM THE GROUND.

SO THIS IS A DRONE SHOT.

SO OFTEN THE VERY, VERY FAR DISTANCE IS OUR FOUR BAY.

SO WE TAKE IN WATER FROM THE CANAL THAT GOES TO OUR KIND OF OUR FOUR BAY RESERVOIR STRUCTURE.

THEN IT COMES TOWARDS THE OPERATIONS BUILDING ON THE LEFT.

THEN IT GOES INTO THAT TREATMENT TRAIN, COMES TO THE SET OF, UH, EXPOSED KIND OF PUMPS AND PIPING THERE, THAT GOES TO OUR, UH, GROUND STORAGE TANK.

AND THEN THE CLOSEST SET OF PUMPS THAT YOU SEE NEXT TO THE GROUND STORAGE TANK AND THE LOWER RIGHT HAND, THAT'S OUR HIGH SERVICE PUMP STATION.

AND THAT'S WHAT SENDS WATER OUT INTO THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM.

SO THERE WAS A FAIR AMOUNT OF STRUCTURES THAT WERE BUILT.

AND THAT'S JUST A QUICK SYNOPSIS.

Y'ALL MAY HAVE ATTENDED THE RIBBON CUTTING AND GOT AN UP CLOSE VIEW.

THIS IS OUR FIRE TRAINING FACILITY.

IT'S OUR PHASE THREE BUILD OUT.

AND WANTED TO JUST, UM, OUTLINE, THERE'S TWO PROJECTS GOING ON.

ONE HAS TO DO A LOT WITH THE PROPANE COMPONENT OF THE, UM, FIRE TRAINING.

AND THIS IS MORE OF THE BUILDING COMPONENT.

SO WE HAVE AN INDOOR CLASSROOM BUILDING ON THE LOWER, UH, PORTION OF THE PICTURES.

AND THAT'S VERY A, A VERY WELCOMING SPACE.

I THINK WE'VE HAD SOME CITY MEETINGS OUT THERE THAT IS OCCUPIED AND IS, IS WORKING.

THAT MIDDLE, LOWER LEFT PICTURE IS THE INDUSTRIAL PROP.

THAT IS THE STRUCTURE THAT WILL PROVIDE THE, UH, TRAINING IN A VERY KIND OF SIMULATED SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR FIRE, UH, STAFF, BUT ALSO SOME OF OUR INDUSTRY PARTNERS.

AND SO ALREADY WE'VE SEEN, UH, SOME OF OUR INDUSTRY PARTNERS OUT THERE, AND I WAS LIKE, WHO'S IN THE BLUE? OKAY, THAT'S THEM AND THEIR COVERALLS.

AND SO THEY'VE BEEN ON THAT HIGH RISE STRUCTURE, AT LEAST, UM, TRAINING IN THAT FACILITY.

THIS IS OUR PARKS AND RECREATION SERVICE CENTER.

THIS IS A BUILDING THAT IS ABOUT, IS GONNA QUADRUPLE THE SIZE FOR OUR PARKS AND RECREATION.

THERE'S A, AN OLDER BUILDING THAT'S ON PARK STREET.

IT'S VERY OVERCROWDED.

IT'S COMBINED USE OF TOOL AND EQUIPMENT STORAGE, AND THERE'S REALLY, IT'S JUST, UM, BURSTING AT THE SEAMS. AND SO THIS IS A FACILITY THAT WAS BUILT, UH, TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL STORAGE AND, YOU KNOW, JUST TO DEAL WITH THE GROWTH OF THE NUMBER OF STAFF.

SO THE HIGH PORTION OF THE BUILDING IS WAREHOUSING, AND ALSO IT'S BASICALLY THE PLACE WHERE YOU CAN PARK EQUIPMENT, A LOT OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT WE DON'T WANT EXPOSED TO THE SUN.

AND THEN WE HAVE, UM, AND ALSO FOR SECURITY REASONS, BUT ALSO THE STAFF OFFICES AND THE BREAK ROOM AND TRAINING ROOM, UM, AND TOOL ROOM FOR THE STAFF.

SO JUST TO THE BACK OF THIS BUILDING, NEXT TO THE POWER POLE, WE'VE ACTUALLY GOT THE OTHER HALF OF THE PAVING GOING ON RIGHT NOW.

AND SO THAT'LL COMPLETE THE PROJECT.

AND THAT PORTION OF FUNDING WAS ONLY AVAILABLE IN THIS FISCAL YEAR, BUT THAT'S ACTUALLY ALREADY UNDERWAY.

ALL RIGHT, SO THIS IS, UH, PROJECTS MANAGED BY ADRIAN AND I'VE GOT SOME

[00:10:01]

OF THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT STAFF SITTING HERE, UM, IN, IN THE AUDIENCE.

AND SO I'M NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT EVERY SINGLE PROJECT, BUT I AM GONNA HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE PROJECTS ARE THAT I KNOW ARE NEAR AND DEAR TO YOUR HEARTS.

AND SO, UM, JUST FOR INFORMATION'S SAKE, ITEMS IN GREEN, I'M GONNA HAVE SLIDES ON AND THEN ITEMS IN THAT BRIGHT BLUE, I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE AND THEN WE'LL KIND OF TAKE Q AND A.

PLEASE DON'T, UH, FEEL, UH, BAD TO STOP ME.

SO WE HAVE A RAW WATER PUMP REHAB WITH OUR BOW PLANT, AND THAT IS A PROJECT THAT IS GOING INTO DESIGN.

THAT'LL BE A CONTRACT THAT YOU'LL BE SEEING.

AND THEN ALSO TODAY, UM, WE'RE, WE TOOK BIDS FOR OUR FILTER SCOUR IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.

AND THAT PROJECT IS TO IMPROVE THE THROUGHPUT OF THE FILTERS SO THAT THE PLANT CAN FUNCTION MORE EFFICIENTLY AND HAVE A BETTER OUTPUT FOR, UH, DRINKING WATER.

THERE'S ALSO ANOTHER PROJECT LISTED THERE, WHICH IS OUR LINCOLN CEDARS AND JULIAN VILLA, UM, DRAINAGE PROJECT.

THIS WAS ALSO A-C-D-B-G FUNDED PROJECT.

THOSE BIDS WILL BE COMING IN HERE SOON.

SO CONSTRUCTION IS EMINENT.

SO I'M GONNA JUMP INTO SOME OF OUR, UM, PROJECTS.

SO THIS IS A PROJECT UNDER CONSTRUCTION, OUR GOOSE CREEK LIFT STATION.

I THOUGHT I WOULD INCLUDE THESE SLIDES BECAUSE IT'S VERY RARE THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY SEE THAT WET WELL BEING BUILT.

AND PRETTY SOON IT'LL ALL BE BACKFILLED.

AND SO THIS IS A VIEW FROM THE OUTSIDE AND A VIEW FROM THE INSIDE.

SO THAT'S THE FORM WORK THAT'S GONNA SET UP THAT STRUCTURE.

AND, UH, SANITARY SEWER WILL COME INTO THAT, BE KIND OF COLLECTED AND THEN PUMPED OUT.

AND SO THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF THAT WORK.

ANOTHER PROJECT THAT'S, UH, NEAR AND DEAR TO Y'ALL, Y'ALL'S HEARTS IS THE ROSELAND PARK PAVILION.

AND WE ACTUALLY, UM, OPENED PROPOSALS ON THAT TODAY, THREE PROPOSALS.

AND SO WE'LL BE EVALUATING THOSE AND COMING BACK TO YOU ALL, BUT WANTED TO JUST PROVIDE SOME OF THE RENDERINGS.

THERE'S SOME INDOOR AND OUTSOURCE SPACES JUST TO, THE LOWER PART OF THE SLIDE IS THE INDOOR SPACE AND THEN THE OUTDOOR PATIO SPACE.

AND THERE'S ALSO BARRIER FREE ACCESS.

SO IF YOU ARE GOING TO RENT THIS FACILITY AND YOU HAVE CATERING, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GO UP THAT RAMP.

IF YOU HAVE A LARGE FAMILY REUNION AND YOU HAVE SOME ELDERLY FOLKS THAT WOULD APPRECIATE A RAMP OR THAT'S THEIR, YOU KNOW, EASIEST METHOD OF TRANSPORT, THAT RAMP WILL BE THERE.

UM, AND IT'S NOW IN THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THE PARK, SO IT'S IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION THAN WHERE THE ORIGINAL PAVILION USED TO BE.

AND SO YOU CAN ALSO SEE THAT THERE'S A RETAINING WALL.

SO WE ARE BRINGING THAT ABOVE THE FLOOD ELEVATION.

AND SO IT'S, IT'LL HAVE A GREAT PERCHED VIEW, I THINK, FOR EVERYTHING ELSE THAT'S HAPPENING, WHETHER THAT'S SAND VOLLEYBALL OR THE WATER PARK JUST TO THE LEFT OF IT.

SO THAT'S GONNA BE EXCITING HERE.

UM, AND THAT PROJECT WILL, UH, TAKE ABOUT A YEAR TO, TO BUILD.

SO IF WE START IN, UM, JANUARY, WHAT'S EXPECTED FOR EVERYBODY TO REALLY GET GOING, IT'LL BE AVAILABLE, UH, THE FOLLOWING JANUARY, 2023.

UH, SO IF WE CAN ROLL THAT UP, WE WILL, UH, CERTAINLY DO THAT QUICKER IF WE CAN.

THIS IS ANOTHER PARK PROJECT THAT IS IN THE PLANNING STAGE.

SO THERE'S THREE PARKS PROJECTS THAT WE'RE GONNA TAKE INTO PRELIMINARY PLANNING STAGE, AND THAT'S BECAUSE WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE GET OUR PHASING AND OUR COST ESTIMATES CORRECT.

AND THIS IS A VERY TOUGH BIDDING ENVIRONMENT, THE ELECTRICAL AND SOME OF OUR CONCRETE IS JUST IN A VERY, YOU KNOW, STIFF CURVE.

AND EVEN IF WE WERE NOT TO HAVE A, UH, BUILDING OUT HERE, WE STILL HAVE SOME THINGS THAT WE WANNA MAKE SURE ALL OF THIS NEEDS IRRIGATION, IRRIGATION NEEDS, POWER, UM, ANY OF THESE AREAS IS GONNA NEED LIGHTING.

LIGHTING MEANS ELECTRICITY, LIGHTNING, UH, AND ALL THAT ELECTRICAL WORK.

SO ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE GONNA, YOU KNOW, COST SOME MONEY AND WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE, UH, THAT DIALED INTO THE RIGHT AMOUNTS.

AND THEN ALSO IF WE NEED TO PHASE THE PROJECT, WHAT GETS BUILT WHEN IS GONNA BE VERY IMPORTANT.

SO THIS IS THE MASTER PLAN FOR THIS PARK, AND WE'RE GONNA BE EMBARKING ON THAT WORK, UH, SHORTLY.

SO WE HAVE THE, AN AMERICAN, UH, LITTLE LEAGUE PARK AS WELL.

SO THIS IS THE SECOND OF THE, THE THREE PARKS.

WE WANT TO UPGRADE THE RESTROOMS, WE WANT TO BRING THOSE UP TO CODE AND ALSO REPLACE THE CONCESSION STAND AND PRESS BOX.

BUT WHAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT HERE IS THAT WE HAVE BERRY FREE ACCESS INTO RESTROOMS AND THEN INTO THE AREAS THAT WE WANNA HAVE EQUAL ACCESS FOR ALL.

SO THAT'S GONNA BE A, A HUGE PART OF THIS PROJECT.

THE WAYNE GRAY SPORTS COMPLEX IS GONNA HAVE SEVERAL IMPROVEMENTS.

AND SO PROBABLY THE MOST, UM, EXCITING IS TO TRANSFER THOSE, UM, NATURAL TURF FIELDS TO ARTIFICIAL TURF.

AND ALONG WITH THAT, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO ENCOUNTER, UM, SOME SOLUTIONS FOR DRAINAGE AND WE'RE GONNA ADD PARKING.

SO AGAIN, DRAINAGE BECOMES IMPORTANT AS WE SHIFT THAT FROM GRASS TO CONCRETE.

SO IN THE AREA TO THE NORTH, ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE SLIDE OF THE EXISTING PARKING, IT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE A QUARTER OF AN ARC IF WE WERE TO MIRROR THAT ALONG THE BALL FIELDS.

THAT'S KIND OF THE AREA OF, OF, UH, PARKING.

AND THAT'LL ALSO HOPEFULLY PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF A, A BUFFER AND, UM, OVERFLOW PARKING IN CASE

[00:15:01]

THE WATER PARK HAS A MAJOR EVENT.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT WAS COULD YOU WALK FROM ONE TO THE OTHER? SO THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE'RE TAKING, TRYING TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION, RIGHT? AND THEN I, WELL HOLD ON, LET ME PAUSE ANY QUESTIONS IN WHAT I JUST COVERED, UM, THAT I CAN ANSWER, OTHERWISE WE'LL KEEP GOING.

ALRIGHT.

ALRIGHT.

THIS IS, UH, PROJECTS MANAGED BY HI.

AND HE HAS SEVERAL THAT ARE IN DESIGN THAT ARE ABOUT READY TO GO OVER INTO CONSTRUCTION.

SO THERE'S FOUR STREETS THAT ARE IN THE BAY OAKS HARBOR NEIGHBORHOOD.

THOSE STREETS WILL BE CONCRETE STREETS.

SO WE'RE GONNA CONVERT THAT FROM ASPHALT TO CONCRETE AND THEN FAIRWAY DRIVE AND SEVILLE.

SO THE TIMELINE OF THE BAY OAKS HARBOR STREET IS STREETS WILL BE BID IN NOVEMBER, STARTING IN JANUARY, FOLLOWED BY FAIRWAY AND VE STARTING IN ABOUT FEBRUARY.

SO YOU'LL BE SEEING THOSE, UM, EARLY NEXT YEAR COMING TO YOU FOR A CONSTRUCTION AWARD.

JUAN MACIAS IS ANOTHER PROJECT MANAGER AND HE'S, UH, MANAGING SEVERAL OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE'LL HAVE SOME SLIDES ABOUT IN A SECOND.

SO WE'RE EXPANDING THE, UM, I 10 LIFT STATION.

THAT'S A VERY KIND OF SMALL FOOTPRINT RIGHT NOW ALONG I 10.

AND THEN THERE'S UH, SOME OTHER WORK THAT WE'RE DOING WITH WASTEWATER WITH OUR EAST DISTRICT PLANT.

SO EAST DISTRICT PLANT WAS HEAVILY DAMAGED DURING HARVEY AND WE ARE REPLACING THAT INFRASTRUCTURE.

WE WERE ABLE TO RECEIVE TWO GRANTS, ONE 6.5 MILLION, WHICH WAS FOR PHASE ONE AND 32 MILLION, WHICH WAS A STATEWIDE COMPETITIVE PROGRAM FOR CDBG MITIGATION DOLLARS.

SO I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT THOSE IN A MINUTE, UH, WITH SOME KIND OF PHOTOS.

BUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE COMMUNICATED TO YOU WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH SOME OF OUR ARPA MONEY.

AND I THINK THE BIGGEST PROJECT THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE EMBARKING ON WITH OUR ARPA FUNDS IS HIGHLIGHTED IN, UH, THE BOTTOM, THE DESIGN LIST THERE.

IT'S THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT SCADA INSTALLATION.

SO THIS IS GONNA BE VERY IMPORTANT FOR REMOTE OPERATIONS.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE ABILITY TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON AT EACH PLANT, WHAT THE SYSTEM IS DOING.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE IN OUR DRINKING WATER SIDE, BUT WE DON'T HAVE REALLY ON OUR WASTEWATER SIDE.

SO LET'S JUMP INTO SOME OF THE PROJECTS.

AND THIS IS, UH, AN OVERALL AERIAL OF EAST DISTRICT.

THERE'S A LOT OF LINES AND CIRCLES BECAUSE THERE'S REALLY NO PART OF THIS PLANT THAT'S GONNA BE LEFT UNDONE.

THE GREEN SECTION TO THE LOWER LEFT, THAT'S THE NEW OPERATION BUILDING IN A RECTANGLE AND THE LIFT STATION IN A CIRCLE.

SO WE ARE GOING TO BE EMBARKING ON THAT FIRST WITH PHASE ONE.

AND THEN WE'RE DOING A LOT OF IMPROVEMENTS AND I THINK IT'S SUFFICE TO SAY IT'S JUST GOING TO BE A LOT OF IMPROVEMENTS FOR THAT $32 MILLION.

SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT BECAUSE THAT PLAN HAS, UM, BEEN HEAVILY DAMAGED AND WE REALLY WANNA MAKE SURE WE RENEW THAT INFRASTRUCTURE.

OKAY, THE ANIMAL SERVICES, UH, BUILDING, YOU SAW A LITTLE BIT OF THE VIDEO.

UM, THE KEY COMPONENTS OF THIS PROJECT IS THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO HOUSE IS INCREASING.

ONE OF THE REALLY GOOD COMPONENTS I THINK THAT WE'VE INCLUDED IS SPECIALIZED AIR CONDITIONING AND, UH, VENTILATION.

SO WE'RE INCLUDING OUTSIDE AIR, WHICH IS A LOT HEALTHIER FOR THE ANIMALS AND ALSO INCREASING THEIR VOLUNTEER, UH, TRAINING ROOMS. AND THEN THE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR GET TO KNOW YOUR ROOMS. SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE, UH, LOOKING TO HOPEFULLY FINISH IN IN MARCH OF NEXT YEAR.

I SAY THAT AND THEN IT'S GONNA RAIN OR SOMETHING ELSE WILL HAPPEN, BUT I'M GONNA FIND SOME WOOD TO KNOCK ON HERE.

OKAY, SO WE HAVE THE ROLLING BRICK PROJECT, UM, HERE AND WE ARE ALMOST DONE WITH THAT.

THAT'LL ALSO HAVE A MARCH APRIL TIMELINE.

AND IF WE CAN GET IT DONE BEFORE THAT, OF COURSE WE WILL BE TRYING VERY HARD.

BUT THE KEY COMPONENTS HERE, REPLACING A WATER LINE IN AT END OF SERVICE LIFE WITH A MATERIAL THAT IS REALLY NOT PREFERRED.

SO WE HAVE ALSO IMPROVEMENTS TO PEDESTRIAN MOBILITY.

SO THERE'LL BE A SIDEWALK HERE IN THAT PICTURE ON THE LEFT, THERE'LL BE A SIDEWALK THAT'S SHOWN THERE AND THAT'LL HAVE SIDEWALKS NOW REACHING THE BUS STOP AND IMPROVED ACCESS ACROSS THE CORRIDOR.

SO THE PUBLIC SAFETY CAMPUS.

SO THIS IS, UH, ONE OF THE RENDERINGS.

I THINK YOU SAW A LITTLE BIT OF THAT IN THE MAYOR'S PRESENTATION, WHICH WAS A BY THE WAY.

AND SO WE HAVE HERE SOME OF THE RENDERINGS, THERE'S SEVERAL DIFFERENT VIEWS OF, OF HOW WE HAVE THE LOGOS.

UM, WE HAVE A NEW ACCESS HERE.

SO IF YOU IMAGINE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TODAY, YOU DRIVE TO IT FROM MAIN STREET.

AND ON THE NORTH SIDE IS A LITTLE GRAVEL ROAD THAT WE'RE GONNA IMPROVE AND IT'S CALLED PROCTOR DRIVE.

AND ON THE SOUTH SIDE WE KNOW BOB SMITH.

WELL, WE'RE GOING TO BE CONNECTING TO THAT.

SO LET'S LOOK AT WHAT ALL WE'RE DOING THERE.

SO THIS IS A RENDERING OF THE SITE AND I'M JUST GOING TO USE MY, OH, WE'RE GONNA TRY AND USE THIS.

SO THIS IS THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING AND THIS WILL HOUSE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CLOSEST TO MAIN STREET.

SO JUST FOR REFERENCE, THIS IS MAIN STREET AND THEN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S GONNA CONSOLIDATE ALL OF THEIR STAFF UNDER ONE ROOF.

AND THAT'S GOING TO, UH, OCCUPY THE REMAINDER OF THE BUILDING.

SO THAT'S THE, THE FRONT PART OF THE SITE.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME NEW PARKING AND A PLAZA AREA.

JUST FOR REFERENCE, THIS IS THE CURRENT JAIL, THE CURRENT COURTS, THE CURRENT FIRE ADMINISTRATION, THOSE THREE

[00:20:01]

BUILDINGS WILL BE REMAINING AS IS WITH A SMALL EXCEPTION AT THE COURTS TO ADD A RESTROOM.

AND THAT RESTROOM IS KIND OF SHOWN RIGHT HERE.

SO WHAT ALL IS HAPPENING ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE PROP PROPERTY? SO THERE'LL BE A LARGE DETENTION POND.

THIS WILL BE THE, UH, POLICE AND FIRE FLEET MAINTENANCE BUILDINGS.

SO THIS IS WHERE FIRE TRUCKS AND POLICE VEHICLES WILL BE REPAIRED.

AND THEN THIS AREA HERE IS GOING TO HOUSE SPECIAL OPERATIONS EQUIPMENT.

AND THEN IN THE VERY BACK IS OUR IMPOUND LOT.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF WORK GOING ON.

THIS HAS BEEN CALLED A PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING PROJECT, BUT IT'S REALLY A CAMPUS.

ALRIGHT, SO THIS IS KIND OF THE PROGRESSION THAT WE ARE SHOWING AND IT'S KIND OF DEMONSTRATING WHAT ARE ALL THE PHASES ON THE SITE.

FIRST UPPER LEFT, THIS IS THE AERIAL.

WHAT ARE WE DOING TO KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE, THE PAGE, WE'RE SHOWING HOW WE'RE NARROWING DOWN ON THAT SITE.

PHASE ONE IS ON THE RIGHT.

SO THAT'S THE FIRST PHASE OF WORK.

IT'S GONNA BE ALL THE HEAVY CIVIL, IT'S GONNA BE THE FLEET MAINTENANCE FACILITY.

WE'VE GOT A TRANSFER THOSE GARAGE OPERATIONS TO THAT BUILDING.

PHASE TWO IS THE BIG ADMINISTRATION BUILDING.

PHASE THREE IS THE PUBLIC SIDE AND THE PLAZA.

AND THEN THAT'S ALL THE PHASES THERE.

SO THIS IS JUST A LITTLE SNAPSHOT FROM THE PLANS OF THAT CLOSEUP OF PHASE ONE BECAUSE THIS IS COMING TO YOU ALL VERY SOON FOR GMP OCTOBER 28.

SO THIS PORTION OF THE PROJECT IS GONNA BE WHERE ALL THE DIRT'S GONNA FLY, SO TO SPEAK.

SO WHEN WE CLEAR THAT FORESTED AREA, WE'RE GOING TO BE BUILDING THIS PORTION OF THE PROJECT.

THIS IS JUST A SYNOPSIS.

AGAIN, MORE INFORMATION'S GONNA COME TO YOU, BUT AT THIS TIME, THIS IS THE NEXT BIG PROJECT THAT WE'RE DOING.

SO I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY FAIR TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF AN OVERVIEW.

WE'RE GOING TO ENGAGE IN A PHASE ONE, A GMP, WHICH IS JUST THE BUILDING SHELL.

IF YOU ALL RECALL, I'VE BEEN PROBABLY SAYING THIS A LOT.

METAL IS IN A PARABOLIC CURVE.

EVERY TIME I LOOK IT'S 30% INCREASE.

SO WE WANNA LOCK IN ON THESE METAL BUILDINGS AND THEN BUILD THOSE OUT.

THERE'S THE INNER GUTS OF THOSE THAT ARE GONNA BE BID TOGETHER WITH THE LARGE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING.

SO THAT'S THE NEXT PHASE THAT YOU'LL SEE PROBABLY IN DECEMBER.

AND THEN PHASE ONE WILL ALREADY BE STARTING IN NOVEMBER.

AND AS WE GO THROUGH THAT LARGE, LARGER GMP, WHAT WE CALL THE BALANCE OF THE PROJECT WILL BE COMING TOO WELL FOR THAT.

SO THIS IS KIND OF A RESULT OF ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF OF HARD WORK AND OUR, UH, CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK COMPANY AS DUR TECH.

AND THEY'VE BEEN GIVING US A LOT OF, UM, INFORMATION ABOUT PRICING, HELPING TO INFORM WHAT WE CAN DO TO TRIM THE PROJECT TO WHAT IT CAN BE AS MUCH AS WE CAN GET INTO THAT $66 MILLION.

ALL RIGHT, THIS IS, UH, SWITCHING GEARS BACK TO PMS AND, AND THE PROJECTS THAT THEY MANAGE.

THIS IS ROHAN.

HE'S MANAGING SOME DESIGN PROJECTS, KEY DESIGN PROJECTS THAT WE ARE WORKING ON, BOTH WITH HARRIS COUNTY AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

THE ROBERT E. LEE, UH, HIGH SCHOOL DRAINAGE REROUTE IN SOUTH MAINE DRAINAGE.

THIS IS TAKING ON THE PROJECT THAT WE COMPLETED IN PHASE ONE AND, AND CONTINUING THAT, BUT ALSO TWO VERY EXCITING PROJECTS.

UH, THE EDGEBROOK ALLEN BRICK, NORTH SEAL AND KOLBY PROJECT.

SO OCTOBER 18 IS MONDAY AND EDGEBROOK AND ALLEN BROOK, UH, IS WHERE THE EPICENTER OF THAT WORK IS GONNA START.

THAT CONTRACTOR IS GONNA MOBILIZE.

MARVAN IS ALSO SITTING WITH US TODAY.

HE'S MANAGING SEVERAL OF THE LARGE PROJECTS.

HE'S WORKING ON THE GARTH ROAD PROJECT.

WE'RE GONNA HEAR A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT IN A FEW MINUTES FROM CONNIE.

BUT WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I MENTIONED THAT SOME OF THE OTHER ARPA MONEY THAT WE'RE GONNA BE UTILIZING IS IN THE BRIGHT BLUE HERE THAT'S AT OUR BA PLANT TO MAKE SURE WE CAN, UH, PROVIDE RESILIENCY AND WINTERIZATION FOR THAT PLANT TO PROTECT ANY OF THE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO PROTECT, SUCH AS PIPING PUMPS.

AND THAT'S GOING TO BE, UM, PROJECT THAT'S JUST GONNA BE STARTING OFF HERE.

LET'S TALK ABOUT CITIZENS BANK.

SO IT'S CALLED CITIZENS BANK TODAY.

IT'LL BE RENAMED AS OUR UTILITY SURFACES BUILDING.

AND THAT'S THE SIGNAGE THAT'S SHOWN IN THAT DAYTIME PHOTO RENDERING.

THIS IS A PROJECT THAT IS ACTUALLY PERMITTED.

IT IS, UH, GOING TO BE COMING TO YOU ON THE 28TH FOR APPROVAL FOR COMPETITIVE SEAL PROPOSALS.

THAT PROJECT WILL START BIDDING NOVEMBER TWO, THE NIGHTTIME SHOT.

I THINK WE HEARD SOME FEEDBACK EARLIER ON FOR HAVING SOME LIGHTING ON THAT FACADE TO KIND OF BRIGHTEN UP THAT STREET.

SO THAT'S BEEN ADDED AND I WANTED TO SHOW YOU WHAT THAT IS, UH, LOOKING LIKE AT NIGHT.

SO THERE WILL BE A PARKING LOT THAT SALVAGED FACADE CAREFULLY TAKEN OFF AND THEN PUT BACK.

SO SOME OF THAT IS A BIT CRACKED.

AND SO WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE ADDING WINDOWS TO MAKE UP FOR SOME OF THE BRICK THAT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BE A STONE THAT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BE SALVAGED, BUT ALSO OPEN UP THAT BUILDING FOR EYES ON THE STREET.

SO IT'LL BE SOMETHING THAT'LL BE A WELCOMING PLACE IF YOU'RE WALKING IN OR OUT, OR YOU WON'T JUST SEE KIND OF A, YOU KNOW, A SOLID FACADE.

SO I THINK THAT'LL OPEN UP THE BUILDING AND MAKE THAT JUST A BETTER PLACE EVEN TO WORK.

SO THERE'LL BE

[00:25:01]

STAFF OFFICES, METER TESTING AREA, AND A REALLY TOP-NOTCH CUSTOMER SERVICE LOBBY.

SO THERE'LL BE ALSO A SEMI-PRIVATE MEETING ROOM.

SO IF, UM, ANY OF OUR RESIDENTS WOULD LIKE SOME PRIVACY IN SPEAKING WITH STAFF, THEY DON'T HAVE TO STAND AT A COUNTER WHERE EVERYBODY CAN HEAR THEM.

SO WE HAVE THAT, UM, SEMI-PRIVATE ROOM OFF TO THE SIDE.

SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING A LOT WITH OUR UTILITY BILLING STAFF TO REALLY IMPROVE THAT CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE THROUGH THIS PROJECT.

SO GREG JOSEPH IS OUR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AND JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT, UM, HIS, HIS, YOU KNOW, HIS PROBABLY SHOULDERS ARE KIND OF GONNA BE STRAINING UNDER THE LOAD HERE, BUT HE MANAGES BOTH THE CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION ON OUR PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT SIDE ANYTIME THERE'S WORK IN THE RIGHT OF WAY, WATER, SEWER, DRIVEWAY, TIE-INS, OUR SUBDIVISION CONSTRUCTION, BUT ALSO CIP CONSTRUCTION AND, UH, MANAGEMENT AND INSPECTION.

SO EVEN WHEN WE HAVE STAFF EXTENSION, HE'S INVOLVED IN THOSE.

SO IF YOU LOOK HERE ON THE FAR RIGHT OF THE BID CALENDAR, THERE'S ABOUT 11 PROJECTS THAT ARE GONNA BE BIDDING IN THE NEXT THREE MONTHS.

THESE ARE ALL TEED UP.

THEY'RE AT 90 AND A HUNDRED PERCENT.

SO THIS IS A RATHER FULL BID CALENDAR.

AND SO IT'S, IT'S EXCITING, BUT IT'S ALSO NERVE WRACKING.

AND SO HE'S THERE, HE'S GONNA BE HELPING US GET THROUGH THAT.

ALL RIGHT, I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER TO CONNIE FOR A MINUTE TO TALK ABOUT GARTH ROAD.

ALL RIGHT, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME.

UM, I'M CONNIE CURTIS WITH KIMLEY HOR AND ASSOCIATES.

I'M THE PROJECT MANAGER ON GARTH ROAD.

Y'ALL HAVE SEEN ME HERE A HANDFUL OF TIMES FOR VARIOUS SUNDRY THINGS, BUT I'M GONNA GIVE YOU AN UPDATE HERE ON GARTH ROAD.

SO Y'ALL FEEL FREE TO STOP ME.

I KNOW THAT THIS IS A VERY HIGH PROFILE AND HIGH INTEREST PROJECTS.

SO IF YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS AS I MOVE THROUGH, LET'S TALK ABOUT 'EM.

SO SOME OF YOU ALL HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF GARTH ROAD WHEN WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT IT, AND SOME OF YOU ARE FAIRLY NEW TO IT.

SO I WANTED TO START WITH A HIGHLIGHT, UM, OF JUST THE OVERVIEW.

WE CALL THIS THE RAINBOW CATERPILLAR EXHIBIT, IF YOU EVER HEAR IT CALLED THAT.

UM, STARTS WITH I 10 OVER HERE ON THE LEFT AND STOPPING AT 1 46 ON THE RIGHT.

UM, SO YOU'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT PHASES, A THROUGH F.

WE'RE STARTING UP HERE WITH A AND B.

SO THAT'S ACTUALLY GOT FEDERAL FUNDING.

THE MAYOR DID HIGHLIGHT THAT ON ON TUESDAY.

UM, AND HE DID VERY WELL WITH HIS HIGHLIGHT ON GAR ROAD.

SO I WANNA COMPLIMENT YOU AS WELL, UM, FOR THAT.

BUT WE'RE STARTING WITH A AND B.

IT'S FEDERALLY FUNDED 80 20 MATCH THERE.

UM, AND AS WE MOVE THROUGH, WE WILL DO CD AND E.

WE DO INTEND TO TO CONTINUE WITH THE, UM, FEDERAL APPLICATION WITH THE TIP THAT'S COMING.

SO, UM, F IS IS GONNA BE A LITTLE FURTHER OUT, BUT FOR WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW AND WE MOVE FORWARD, YOU'LL SEE THAT THAT'S THERE.

I'M GONNA DO A LITTLE BIT HERE 'CAUSE I WANNA USE THE SAME VIDEO TO TALK FROM IT, UM, THAT YOU SAW THIS WEEK AT THE STATE OF THE CITY.

UM, YOU SEE HERE THAT ONCE AGAIN 10 FOOT SHARED USE PATH ON THE EAST, FIVE FOOT ON THE, UM, SIDEWALK ON THE, ON THE WEST, THE MALL DEVELOPMENT.

WE STARTED AT I 10, WE'RE GOING TO THE SOUTH.

YOU DO HAVE, UH, THE MEDIAN THERE.

SO I WANT TO JUST REMIND EVERYBODY THE MEDIAN IS GOING IN.

ONE OF THE PARTS OF THE, THE APPLICATION TO THE TRANSPORTATION IMPACT COMMITTEE WAS TO TO MAKE SURE THAT UM, WE WERE IMPROVING THE TRAFFIC FLOW BUT ALSO THE SAFETY AND HAVING THAT DUAL TURN LANE REALLY INCREASES AND CREATES AN INFINITE NUMBER OF CONFLICT POINTS.

SO THIS WILL MINIMIZE THAT, BUT IT WILL CHANGE TRAFFIC PATTERNS.

SO YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT AND PROBABLY A LOT OF CONCERN FROM BUSINESS OWNERS AND TRAVELING PUBLIC ALIKE.

UM, BUT WE'LL, WE'LL GET ON THAT HERE IN A SECOND.

I PAUSED IT HERE 'CAUSE I WANNA HIGHLIGHT, UM, IN THE ORIGINAL VIDEO, THIS IS WHAT WE PRESENTED.

THIS IS WHAT'S ON BAYTOWN ENGAGE.

THERE HAS BEEN A DESIGN CHANGE HERE, UM, AT THIS INTERSECTION WHERE THE TACO BELL IS ON THIS SIDE OVER HERE IN THE MALL IS ON THE WEST.

THIS IS NO LONGER GOING TO HAVE A SIGNAL.

SO WE'VE REMOVED THE SIGNAL FROM THERE AND THE MEDIAN NOSES WILL EXTEND OUT AND IT WILL JUST BE A LEFT TURN INTO THAT DRIVEWAY.

SO THAT HAS BEEN A REVISION, UM, THAT WE HAVE MADE TO THE PLANS.

SO JUST SO THAT Y'ALL ARE AWARE, I'M GONNA KEEP MOVING AS WE KEEP GOING HERE TO HUNT, UM, IN INDEPENDENCE, UM, YOU'LL SEE THAT ONCE AGAIN, DRAINAGE IS A BIG DEAL.

I WANNA HIGHLIGHT THERE'S A HARRIS COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL CHANNEL.

THERE WE'RE GONNA DISCHARGE THERE, LARGE BOXES, THERE WERE DITCHES UP IN THIS AREA AND THERE'S DITCHES ALONG, UH, GARTH ROAD.

ALL OF THOSE ARE GOING AWAY.

UM, ALSO THERE WILL BE NO MORE COMMUNICATION LINES HANGING DOWN, RIGHT? SO THE ELECTRICAL WILL STILL BE ELEVATED, UM, BUT THEY WILL BE HIGHER THAN IT WAS BEFORE.

SO WE'RE COORDINATING WITH CENTERPOINT ON THAT.

UM, YOU WILL SEE HERE THERE'S GREEN SPACE.

WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PUBLIC ART AND SOME OF THE, THE THINGS WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON WITH THAT AS WE GO.

BUT MOVING PAST SAN TAVI, THERE'S AN OCCIDENTAL CORRIDOR WITH SOME BIG PIPELINES.

WE'RE DOING ALL THE COORDINATION THERE, WHICH IS A LOT OF FUN, I WILL SAY.

UM, AND SO JUST CONTINUING ON AND YOU'LL GET TO THE SOUTH OF ARCHER, YOU'LL SEE MORE GREEN SPACE BECAUSE THERE'S LESS NEED FOR THE TURNING LEFT AND THE LESS MEDIAN NOSES

[00:30:01]

YOU NEED, THEN THE MORE GREEN SPACE YOU CAN HAVE IN THOSE MEDIAN.

SO AS YOU APPROACH ARCHER, UM, WE'RE STOPPING JUST SOUTH OF ARCHER.

THE VIDEO'S GONNA PAUSE HERE AT THE END.

AND WHAT YOU'RE GONNA SEE IS WE'RE GONNA GET JUST TO THE NORTH OF NORTH ROAD AND THERE WILL BE A TRANSITION, UM, OF SOME TEMPORARY PAVEMENT BEFORE CD AND E COMES IN.

WE'RE NOT JUST GONNA STOP IT THE WAY THE VIDEO DOES, BUT UM, AT THE END OF THE DAY THERE, THERE WILL BE SOME ADJUSTMENT THERE, BUT THAT'S IN THE PLANS.

IT'S NOT IN THE VIDEO.

BUT ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE I MOVE BACK TO THE POWERPOINT? OKAY, SO WANTING TO MOVE BACK OVER HERE PRETTY QUICKLY.

UM, WE WANTED TO BRING YOU A SCHEDULE.

SO HIGHLIGHTING THAT THERE'S TWO SEPARATE PARTS TO THIS PROJECT.

UM, THERE'S AN UPFRONT WATER WASTEWATER AND UTILITY RELOCATION, AND THEN THERE'S THE ROADWAY ITSELF.

SO WHAT YOU'RE GONNA SEE IS A LOT MORE ACTIVITY COMING TO COUNCIL HERE IN THE NEAR FUTURE ON THE WATER AND WASTEWATER AND UTILITY RELOCATION.

SO, UM, DESIGNING AND BIDDING WILL BE WRAPPING UP OF THOSE UTILITIES, UM, HERE IN THE FOURTH QUARTER.

INTENDING TO BID, AS YOU SAW ON ANDREA'S SCHEDULE EARLIER, UM, HERE IN THE LAST OF THE YEAR TO START CONSTRUCTION AT THE BEGINNING OF NEXT YEAR.

WE ARE ACTIVELY DOING EASEMENT ACQUISITION FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER.

SO IF YOU ALL ARE GETTING ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC, WE ARE ENGAGING ALREADY WITH THEM.

SO JUST BE AWARE OF THAT.

UM, AND WE ANTICIPATE CONSTRUCTION TO START AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR AND THEN MOVE THROUGH AND BE COMPLETED BY THE FOURTH QUARTER.

UM, THEIR UTILITIES ARE ALSO THE COMMUNICATION LINES.

ANY GAS LINES THAT NEED TO BE RELOCATED, THE THINGS THAT ARE NOT AS MUCH IN THE CITY'S CONTROL ARE PART OF THIS PHASE, BUT THEY DO NEED TO BE RELOCATED BEFORE WE CAN START THE BIDDING ON THE ROAD.

SO BASED ON TXDOT AND THE FEDERAL GUIDELINES, AS WE MOVE DOWN TO THE DESIGN AND THE, THE SCHEDULE FOR PHASE A AND B, ROADWAY, THE DESIGN AND THE BID AND YOU SEE AN EXTRA BOX ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE.

SO WE'VE GOTTA WORK THROUGH NEPA, WHICH IS A NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY.

UM, JUST PERMIT THAT WE'VE GOT TO RECEIVE.

WE'VE ACTIVELY FINISHED THE COMPLETED OUR PERMIT TO TO TEXT DOT.

THEY'RE REVIEWING IT NOW.

SO WE'RE HOPEFUL TO HAVE THAT CLEARANCE SOON, WHICH MEANS WE CAN START THE PROPERTY ACQUISITION FOR THE ROAD.

SO BASED ON FEDERAL GUIDELINES, YOU CAN'T REACH OUT TO ANYBODY UNTIL YOU HAVE ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE.

SO WORKING THROUGH THAT CONSTRUCTION'S ANTICIPATED TO START.

ONCE THE UTILITIES ARE RELOCATED, WE MAY HAVE A MANAGEMENT PLAN, THAT STUFF IS STILL MOVING, BUT CONSTRUCTION SHOULD START IN EARLY 2023 ON THE ROAD.

WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE IS THE PUBLIC'S NOT GONNA KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE UTILITIES BEING MOVED AND THE ROADWAY.

SO THEY'RE GONNA THINK CONSTRUCTION IS JUST CONSTANTLY GOING.

SO WE WANNA HIGHLIGHT THAT THE GREEN ON HERE, THAT'S WHAT THE PUBLIC'S GONNA PERCEIVE.

SO SOME OF THE CONSTRUCTION IN GREEN, THE CITY IS CONTROLLING AND SOME OF IT PRIVATE UTILITIES ARE CONTROLLING.

SO JUST MAKING SURE IF Y'ALL HAVE QUESTIONS ON THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD, IT IS AN IMPORTANT THING TO NOTE.

SO AS WE MOVE FORWARD, I WANNA TALK A LITTLE ABOUT WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN FIRST.

THAT FIRST GREEN BOX OF WATER WASTEWATER AND UTILITIES.

WE ARE STARTING AT PHASE B, WHICH MAY SEEM A LITTLE STRANGE BECAUSE IT'S ON THE SOUTHERN END, BUT ALL OF THE WASTEWATER FLOWS SOUTH TO THE GARTH ROAD LIFT STATION.

THAT'S AT CEDAR BAYOU LYNCHBURG.

SO WE'RE STARTING THE IMPROVEMENTS ON THE SOUTHERN END BECAUSE THAT'S HOW CONSTRUCTION WORKS.

SO STARTING DOWN ON THE SOUTH END, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE THE WATERLINE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE ROAD, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE THE WASTEWATER LINE ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE ROAD.

UM, AND WITH THAT IT'S KIND OF THE WAY IT WORKS UNTIL YOU GET NORTH OF HUNT AND THEN YOU'VE GOT A BIG EASEMENT IN THE FRONT OF THOSE BUSINESSES WHERE THE UTILITIES EXIST.

TODAY WE WANNA TALK ABOUT JUST TRAFFIC CONTROL FOR THIS PHASE SO THAT Y'ALL ARE AWARE OF WHAT'S GONNA COME OVER THE NEXT YEAR.

STARTING DOWN AT ARCHER.

UM, THERE WILL BE SOME IMPACTS DOWN HERE WHERE WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO PUT IN SOME TEMPORARY SIGNALS IN THIS AREA AND THERE'S GONNA BE BASICALLY A LANE SWITCH SO THE SIGNALS WILL BE IMPACTED, BUT RIGHT NOW AT ARCHER IT'S ALREADY SPAN WIRE.

SO WE'RE REALLY NOT CHANGING MUCH, WE'RE JUST MOVING IT AROUND A BIT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION.

THEN AT HUNT YOU HAVE THE SAME THING.

WE'RE NOT CLOSING DOWN THE INTERSECTION COMPLETELY, BUT WE HAVE TO OPEN CUT ACROSS THE ROAD, WHICH IS NOT PREFERRED, BUT BASED ON THE WAY THAT IT NEEDED TO WORK AT THE INTERSECTION TO CLEAR IT FOR FUTURE MAINTENANCE AND JUST OPERABILITY, UM, WE ARE GONNA HAVE TO DO OPEN CUT ACROSS, WHICH WILL DO A LANE SWITCH.

SO WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN IS UP HERE, THE TRAFFIC WILL MOVE TO THIS SIDE AND YOU'LL HAVE ONE LANE IN EACH DIRECTION.

SO FOR A TEMPORARY PERIOD OF TIME, IT'LL FLIP TO THE OTHER SIDE AND DO THE SAME.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? I DOUBT PEOPLE WILL REALLY LOVE THAT, BUT IT'S NECESSARY TO MAKE SURE THAT THE UTILITIES ARE REPLACED.

AND THEN THE DREADED WORD DETOUR DOES COME INTO PLAY HERE AT INDEPENDENCE AND SHARON.

AND SO AT INDEPENDENCE THE SAME THING HAS TO HAPPEN.

YOU HAVE TO BUILD ACROSS.

UM, YOU SEE THAT THE WASTEWATER IN GREEN ACTUALLY COMES ACROSS NORTH

[00:35:01]

OF HUNT ROAD AND THEN IS IN FRONT OF THE BUSINESSES ON THE EAST SIDE.

THAT'S WHERE IT IS TODAY.

YOU'VE GOT A REALLY LARGE EASEMENT THERE.

WE'RE JUST GOING TO BE PIPE BURSTING WHERE WE CAN IN PLACE TO MINIMIZE THE DISTURBANCES TO THE BUSINESSES.

BUT THERE'S SOME PLACES WHERE THE SEWER ACTUALLY IS BACKWARDS, SO WE HAVE TO FIX IT.

SO WE DO HAVE TO OPEN CUT AND UNFORTUNATELY THAT HAPPENS BOTH AT INDEPENDENCE AND AT SHARON.

SO WE HAVE TO FIX THEM AND OPEN CUT THEM AT BOTH OF THOSE LOCATIONS.

SO WE'RE GONNA DETOUR IF SOMEBODY NEEDED TO COME OUT OF THIS BUSINESS HERE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO AROUND INDEPENDENCE UP AND DOWN, UM, WHILE WE'RE WORKING AT THE INTERSECTION OF INDEPENDENCE.

AND THEN SAME THING WHEN YOU GET TO SHARON, IF SOMEBODY NEEDED TO COME OUT OF SOMEWHERE IN HERE, THEY'D HAVE TO GO UP AND AROUND JUST FOR THE TIME THAT IT'S THERE IN THAT LOCATION.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? OKAY.

WITH ALL OF THE TRAFFIC CONTROL PLANS AND WITH ALL OF THE IMPACTS, WE ARE DOING PUBLIC OUTREACH.

SO HOPEFULLY Y'ALL HAVE BEEN TO THE BAYTOWN ENGAGED WEBSITE AND SEEN THE GARTH ROAD, UM, PAGE THERE.

WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO PUT INFORMATION OUT THERE FOR THE PUBLIC TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

SO THEY WILL HAVE MORE INFORMATION, UM, AVAILABLE HERE AS THE PROJECT PROCEEDS THE SCHEDULE.

UM, AS THINGS GO THROUGH, WE'LL HAVE SOME DIFFERENT EXHIBITS THAT WE PUT OUT THERE FOR THEM, BUT THE PROPERTY OWNERS THAT ARE BEING IMPACTED WITH THE WATER AND WASTEWATER HAVE ALREADY BEEN NOTIFIED.

THERE'S 12 OF THEM, UM, THAT ARE ACTUALLY NEEDING EASEMENT.

SO IT'S NOT AS MANY AS YOU WOULD THINK.

UM, AND THAT'S A POSITIVE THING.

UM, BUT WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS PROJECT AND GONNA BE CONTINUING TO REACH OUT TO THE PUBLIC AS WE GO.

LASTLY, I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS WITH THE PUBLIC OUTREACH THAT HAS BEEN REALLY, REALLY SUCCESSFUL AND SABRINA HERE WORKED VERY HARD ON THIS, UM, PUBLIC ART.

WE KNOW THAT YOU'VE HAD SOME VERY SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC ART OVER AT SAN JACINTO BOULEVARD AND WE WANT TO BRING, UM, SOME MORE THEMATIC THINGS HERE TO GARTH.

SO WE WANTED THE PUBLIC TO VOICE THEIR OPINION OF WHAT THEY WANTED.

SO WE DEVELOPED SOME OPTIONS.

THERE WERE EIGHT DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR WHAT WE'RE CALLING ART STACKS THAT WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE OF GARTH ROAD AND THEY CHOSE WAVES, RED FISH, FLOCK OF SEAGULLS, CATTAILS, AND A WHITE EGRET.

AND SO WE'LL TAKE THESE AND OUR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS, WHICH IS NOT ME, WILL COME UP WITH THE BEST WAY TO PUT THEM TOGETHER.

UM, THEY'RE GONNA BE CUT OUT OF METAL WITH BACKLIT SO AT NIGHT THEY'RE GONNA GLOW AND AT DURING THE DAY YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THE SHAPES.

IT CAN BE DRIVING PRETTY FAST DOWN, GARTH, YOU DON'T NEED SOMETHING SUPER COMPLICATED.

AND THIS WAS THE SOLUTION THAT WE CAME UP WITH.

THAT'LL BE SOMETHING THAT'S KIND OF FUN.

AND YOU KNOW, WITH A WHITE EGRET, YOU GOTTA LOVE BIG TOWN.

MM-HMM .

SO WITH THAT, THAT'S WHAT I HAVE ON GARTH.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

I, YES MA'AM, I DO HAVE .

YES MA'AM.

AND, UM, DURING THE, UM, A E COMMITTEE, UM, AS WE WERE WORKING THROUGH THE BIDS, WE DID ASK ABOUT, UM, MAYBE AN IMPACT SCHEDULE FOR ALL OF THE BUSINESSES.

UM, SO ALONG THE WAY THROUGHOUT CONSTRUCTION, THEY KNOW WHEN THEY'RE PART OF THE, THE BUSINESS WILL BE IMPACTED BECAUSE THAT'LL MEAN, YOU KNOW, LESS TRAFFIC, LESS BUSINESS FOR THEM, ET CETERA.

AND FOR OTHER CITIES, UM, THEY HAD LIKE A, UM, A DASHBOARD THAT SHOWED THEM, YOU KNOW, HOW CONSTRUCTION IS GOING.

YOU KNOW, WHEN IS IT GONNA COME TO THEIR AREA BECAUSE THAT THEY TAILORED THEIR, THEIR BUSINESS EITHER BUSINESS HOURS OR MAYBE THEY HAD A BIG SALE BECAUSE THEY KNEW IT WAS GONNA BE, YOU KNOW, LOW, LOW IMPACT.

SO HOW ARE WE HANDLING THAT? SO I THINK WE CAN, WE CAN CONTINUE TO UTILIZE BAYTOWN ENGAGE AND WE HAVE A OVERALL SCHEDULE, BUT WE CAN UPDATE THAT SO THAT PEOPLE CONTINUE TO GET SOME UPDATES.

THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT COME TO MIND THAT I THINK WE'RE, WE'RE PLANNING FOR ALREADY.

SO PHYSICALLY ON THE STREET, IF THERE IS A KIND OF A CHANGE IN ACCESS TO BUSINESS OR SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO BE LETTING PEOPLE KNOW, THIS IS HOW YOU ACCESS WHILE WE'RE IN CONSTRUCTION IN THAT TRAFFIC CONTROL PLAN.

SO THERE'S SOME SIGNAGE THAT WE'VE THOUGHT ABOUT ADDITIONALLY SAYING OPEN TO THIS BUSINESS OR OPEN TO THAT BUSINESS SO THAT PEOPLE CAN KIND OF PICK HOW TO GET TO THAT BUSINESS THE EASIEST.

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE REALLY GOING TO EMPHASIZE TOO IS THAT THERE'S GONNA BE SOME MEDIANS, BUT WE CAN HAVE SOME PHYSICAL CUES AND THEN TO PROVIDE SOME UPDATES.

THERE'S NO REASON WHY WE CAN'T DO THAT SAME UPDATE THAT WE WOULD DO DIGITALLY WITH THE BAYTOWN ENGAGE ALSO IN THE FORM OF DOOR HANGERS, LEAFLETS, SOMETHING THAT WE CAN PROVIDE SO THAT THEY CAN TELL THEIR PATRONS EITHER DID, YOU KNOW, THROUGH EMAIL NEWSLETTERS RIGHT? OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO GIVE THEM THAT INFORMATION.

ABSOLUTELY.

THANK YOU.

'CAUSE YOU KNOW, I'M THINKING OF NOT JUST THE PUBLIC BUT THE BUSINESS OWNERS AND, AND THE IMPACT ON THEIR BOTTOM LINE, HOW THIS IS GOING TO AFFECT THEM.

AND THAT'S SOMETHING AS WELL THAT WE WILL WORK WITH THE CONTRACTOR ONCE WE KNOW WHAT CONTRACTOR WE HAVE.

MM-HMM .

THEY'LL HAVE MEANS AND METHODS AND THEY'LL HAVE THEIR SCHEDULE AS WELL THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO ROLL OUT UPDATES, THERE'LL BE IMPACTS FROM WEATHER, THERE'LL BE THINGS LIKE THAT THAT OCCUR.

BUT WE CAN CONTINUE TO DO THAT THROUGH BAYTOWN ENGAGE IN OTHER WAYS AS WELL.

THANK YOU AND I APPRECIATE THAT.

AND I KNOW I'VE

[00:40:01]

HAD A, A COUPLE OF COMMENTS LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHY ARE WE EVEN DOING THIS LEAVE BREATH ALONE? BUT I THINK ONE THING THAT WE HAVE TO REMEMBER IS THAT THE CITY IS GROWING AND EVEN THOUGH WE DID ADD SAN JACINTO BOULEVARD AND WE'LL MAKE IMPROVEMENTS IN UH, MAINE AND OTHER AREAS, WE ARE STILL GROWING AND SO WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO FACILITATE THE TRAFFIC ON ALL OF OUR CORRIDORS.

SO I APPRECIATE THE UPDATE AND WE'RE JUST GONNA HAVE TO SEE HOW IT GOES.

SO I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, EVEN WASN'T AS EVIDENT TO ME, YOU KNOW, JUST I KNOW WITH BAD TRAFFIC, I KNOW I GET STUCK IN IT.

I KNOW THAT THERE'S A, YOU KNOW, A CRASH ONCE IN A WHILE, BUT WHEN WE REALLY LOOKED AT THE STATISTICS FOR TRAFFIC CRASHES, WE WERE LIKE IN, WE WERE WELL ABOVE A CITY THAT OF OUR SIZE IN THE STATE OF TEXAS TO THE POINT THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU REALLY HAVE TO LOOK AT THE DATA AND SAY WE'VE GOTTA DO SOMETHING ABOUT FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT.

AND SO THAT'S, YOU KNOW, PROPERTY DAMAGE, THAT'S, YOU KNOW, LIFE.

SO WE HAVE TO REALLY THINK ABOUT THAT.

SO THIS IS ALSO A SOLUTION TO THAT WHERE WE CAN MANAGE A LOT OF THOSE ISSUES AND IMPROVE THAT.

ABSOLUTELY.

THANK YOU.

ONE THING ALSO IS WE, WE WILL BE COMING BACK, UM, THROUGHOUT 2022.

SO YOU SAW THE TRAFFIC IMPACTS RELATED TO WATER AND WASTEWATER MM-HMM .

UM, THE BIGGER IMPACTS ARE DURING THE ROAD CONSTRUCTION, WHICH WILL START IN 2023.

SO THAT WOULD, THAT WAS A LOT, WOULD'VE BEEN A LOT TO KIND OF SHOW TONIGHT.

AND WE'RE STILL, YOU KNOW, OVER A YEAR AWAY.

SO WE'LL BE COMING BACK PROBABLY MIDDLE OF NEXT YEAR TO KIND OF UPDATE YOU ON WHAT THE, UH, TRAFFIC PLAN IS GONNA LOOK LIKE FOR THE, THE ACTUAL ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION.

THANK YOU.

GUESS YOU HAD ANOTHER QUESTION OR? YEAH, UM, WELL I'M GONNA SAY HEARING YOU SAY DRIVING FAST DOWN GARTH ROAD MEANS THERE WON'T BE ANY MORE TRAFFIC.

SO I'M, I'M HAPPY TO HEAR THAT.

UM, I WAS JUST GONNA REITERATE WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER ALVARADO SAID, 'CAUSE I HAD SOME NOTES WRITTEN HERE, WHAT WE WERE GOING TO UPDATE BUSINESSES ON THE TIMELINE AND IF THERE WERE ANY CHANGES, IF WE WOULD BE SURE TO LET THEM KNOW IF THINGS WOULD, WOULD, UM, WOULD CHANGE.

MM-HMM .

UM, I DO LIKE WHAT I SEE.

I JUST HAD ONE QUESTION ABOUT BAYWAY DRIVE.

WHEN DO, WHEN CAN WE EXPECT TO HEAR MORE ABOUT WHEN THAT MAY START AND END? OKAY, SO THERE WAS A BAYWAY CORRIDOR STUDY THAT WAS CONDUCTED BY OUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND WE ALSO HAD A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE WATERLINE.

MM-HMM THAT'S A BIG 16 INCH WATERLINE OF COURSE SERVING INDUSTRY.

SO WE DECIDED THAT WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE CORRIDOR STUDY, WE KNEW WE HAD A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND THE CORRIDOR STUDY RECOMMENDED SOME PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS.

MM-HMM WHAT WE COMMONLY CAN CALL MAYBE A STREET DIET WHERE WE CAN SHRINK WHAT WE ARE TRAVELING ON WITH VEHICLES AND PROVIDE PEDESTRIAN MAYBE HIKE BIKE OR MAYBE JUST ADDITIONAL PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES.

SO THERE WILL BE SOME ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS AND CHANGES WITH THAT AS WE EXPERIMENT MAYBE, MAYBE NOT SO MUCH WITH A BAD EXPERIMENTS, IT'S GONNA BE A GOOD EXPERIMENT.

THEY'VE DONE A VERY, VERY DETAILED STUDY.

THE ENGINEERS HAVE DONE A DETAILED STUDY TO SAY, HEY, THIS IS WHAT OUR TRAFFIC IS, THIS IS WHAT COULD BE THERE.

SO THIS IS GOING TO BE THAT FIRST PHASE WHERE WE IMPLEMENT THAT, THAT PROGRAM TO HAVE THAT ADDITIONAL PEDESTRIAN STUDY.

SO THAT WORK IS GOING TO BE, UH, BROUGHT TO YOU SHORTLY IN TERMS OF AN AWARD.

WE'VE MADE A SELECTION AND THAT WORK WILL BE, UH, MANAGED BY MARVAN AND WE'LL BE PROBABLY COMING TO YOU IN THE NEXT THREE COUNCIL MEETINGS AT LEAST JUST TO MAKE SURE WE MAY HAVE A NEGOTIATION STILL TO COMPLETE ON THAT.

UM, ON THAT CONTRACT.

ONE OTHER THING THAT CAME TO MY MIND WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT SHRINKING IT ARE HAVE WE TAKEN A LOOK AT THE TRAFFIC FLOW DURING HOURS BEFORE SCHOOL AND AFTER SCHOOL BECAUSE IT GETS KIND OF BACKED UP AT THOSE TIMES OF DAY.

I'VE COME DOWN THERE AND THERE'S A LONG LINE BACKING ALL THE WAY UP TO SPUR THREE 30, THAT'LL BE A PART OF THE DESIGN.

SO IF THERE IS A, UM, ROADWAY CHANGE, TYPICALLY WE HAVE TO DO A STUDY WITH OUR TRAFFIC MM-HMM .

UM, ENGINEERS TO ANALYZE WHAT TIME IS, IS SCHOOL COMING OUT, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WE CAN LOOK AT WITH THE TRAFFIC SIGNALS, BUT TYPICALLY, UH, THE ROADWAY NARROWING SHOULD NOT IMPACT.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SOME AREAS FOR ADDITIONAL, UH, OF, OF RIDE OF WAY TO DO THAT, UM, SIDEWALK AND AND BIKE IMPROVEMENTS.

BUT I THINK AS WE MOVE FORWARD THROUGH THE PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING, WE'LL BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE SCHOOL.

I THINK I KNOW EXACTLY THE SCHOOL ISSUE THAT YOU HAVE.

UM, I'VE BEEN CAUGHT IN IT, UM, ACTUALLY TRYING TO MAKE MY WAY TO THE, UH, FIRE TRAINING FACILITY MM-HMM .

SO I CAN IDENTIFY WITH THAT.

SO WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR CONCERNS AND MAKE SURE THAT WE NOTE THAT AND BRING THAT FORWARD IF THERE'S GONNA BE ANY CHANGES.

ALRIGHT.

GOOD DEAL.

THANK YOU.

OKAY.

ANYTHING ELSE ON, ON THE PRESENTATION? NO.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.

SO I'M ASSUMING THIS IS ALL FOR THIS ITEM, IS THAT CORRECT? YES SIR.

THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE.

UM, CERTAINLY A LOT OF, A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON WHEN IT COMES TO, UH, THE CAPITAL

[00:45:01]

IMPROVEMENT PLAN.

SO MOVE ON TO ITEM ONE B.

DISCUSS ANY OR ALL AGENDA ITEMS POST, UH, FOR THIS, FOR TONIGHT'S AGENDA.

IS THERE ANY ITEMS THAT NEED TO BE DISCUSSED BY COUNSEL AT THIS POINT? IF NOT, THEN THIS MEETING'S NOW ADJOURNED.
