UH, MR. CHAIRMAN, UH, FOR THE RECORD ARE BRIAN MORAN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
UM, SO THIS AFTERNOON I WANTED TO GO OVER SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE FISCAL YEAR, UH, 2026 BUDGET FOR T NUMBER ONE.
UM, AS YOU'LL SEE, IT'S A DETAILED, UM, OUTLINE, UM, THAT IT'LL INDICATE HOW WE PLAN ON UTILIZING THE, UM, FUNDS THAT HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED, UM, FOR THIS UPCOMING YEAR.
UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, UM, ON THE SCREEN AS WELL AS IN YOUR PACKET, THE PROPOSED BUDGET, UM, THE TOTAL FUNDING SOURCES IS A LITTLE OVER 3.2 MILLION, AND THE TOTAL USES IS A LITTLE OVER 3.1 MILLION, RESULTING IN AN EXCESS OF 177, UH, THOUSAND DOLLARS.
UH, THIS INCREASE, UM, WILL INCREASE OUR WORKING CAPITAL TO AN ESTIMATED, UH, 6.7 MILLION BY THE END OF THIS, UH, COMING FISCAL YEAR.
UH, THE PRIMARY FUNDING SOURCES COME FROM THE CITY'S, UM, INCREMENT, UH, WHICH IS 2.3 MILLION AS WELL AS THE HARRIS COUNTY'S INCREMENT, UM, WHICH IS ESTIMATED TO BE AROUND $794,000.
AND THEN SPECIFICALLY, HOW ARE THE FUNDS GOING TO BE USED? UM, WE'VE ALLOCATED, UM, APPROXIMATELY $580,000, WHICH BE USED FOR LAND MAINTENANCE.
UH, THIS IS PRIMARILY, UM, FOR THE BEAUTIFICATION AND LANDSCAPING ALONG, UH, SAN JATO BOULEVARD HUNT ROAD, UH, SAN TAVI, AS WELL AS BAKER ROAD.
UM, THIS EFFORT HELPS KEEP, UM, THE AREA ATTRACTIVE FOR BOTH RESIDENTS, VISITORS, AND, UH, FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT.
UM, IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET, WE'VE ALSO, UM, ALLOCATED, UM, $160,000 FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES.
UM, THIS COVERS ESSENTIAL SERVICES INCLUDING, UH, LEGAL COUNSEL, UM, THE TAX CONSULTING FIRM, UM, AS WELL AS THE MARKET AND FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS THAT THE BOARD APPROVED.
UM, AT ITS MOST RECENT MEETING, WE'VE ALSO, UH, BUDGETED $260,000.
UM, THIS IS, UH, THIS IS FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES FOR FIRE POLICE EMS THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH, UH, RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, UH, THAT DO NOT RECEIVE, UM, ANY OF THE INCREMENT FOR THOSE INCREASING COSTS, UH, YEAR OVER YEAR.
UH, WE DO HAVE ALSO A SMALL ALLOCATION OF A THOUSAND DOLLARS AND FOR A FISCAL AGENT FEES, UM, IN THE LINE ITEM ON YOUR PACKET, AS WELL AS ON THE SCREEN THAT'S ASSOCIATED FOR ANY, UM, ANY FUTURE, UH, BOND OR DEBT ISSUANCE.
UH, WE ALSO HAVE, UH, SET ASIDE, UH, $118,000, UH, FOR CITY SERVICES.
AND THIS REPRESENTS, UM, IT'S A 5%, UM, ADMINISTRATION FEE.
AND THIS COVERS, UM, TIME AND EFFORT AND THAT, UH, CITY STAFF, UH, PROVIDE, UH, TO DO ANYTHING TO ADMINISTER, UH, THET.
THEN THE LARGEST PORTION, UM, OF OUR BUDGET, AS YOU'LL SEE, IS DEDICATED TO DEBT SERVICE, UM, WITH THE COMBINED CITY AND COUNTY DEBT PAYMENTS TOTALING, UM, APPROXIMATELY 1.9 MILLION FOR FISCAL YEAR, UH, 2026.
UH, THIS FIGURE INCLUDES 1.35 MILLION FOR PRINCIPAL AND 619,000, UH, FOR INTEREST PAYMENTS.
UH, THESE, UH, THESE DEBT PAYMENT SERVICES ARE FOR PROJECTS, UM, THAT HAVE INCLUDED THE SANDINO BOULEVARD HUNT ROAD IMPROVEMENTS, AND THEN THE MOST RECENT, UH, DEBT ISSUANCE THAT SERIES 2024 IS FOR THE
[00:05:01]
UPCOMING REGIONAL DETENTION, UH, FOR ZONE ONE.SO A RECOMMENDATION, UM, FROM THE BOARD ON THE BUDGET IS NEEDED TO BE PRESENTED, UH, TO THE CITY COUNCIL.
UM, ONCE THE CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZES AND ADOPTS THE BUDGET, UM, THE REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY INTS BOARD IS THEN PERMITTED TO MAKE ANY CHANGES, UM, WITHIN THE APPROVED DOLLAR AMOUNT, UM, AS LONG AS THE TOTAL BUDGET, UM, ISN'T ALTERED.
AND WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, UH, RELATED TO THE, UH, PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2026 BUDGET.
UM, SO MR. MORAN, ON THE, UM, LAND MAINTENANCE, IS THERE A SINGLE COMPANY THAT HAS THE BID TO DO THE LANDSCAPING FOR ALL THOSE LOCATIONS? YES, THAT IS CORRECT.
THEY ONE VENDOR, ONE VENDOR WHO DOES THAT.
AND THIS TOTAL AMOUNT IS FOR THAT SERVICE? YES, THAT IS CORRECT.
UM, AND SO EVEN THOUGH WE SAVED ABOUT 120,000 FROM PRIOR YEAR, WE STILL BELIEVE BECAUSE IT'S, THE CONTRACT SHOULD ALREADY BE LET, WE DON'T KNOW THE EXACT NUMBER OR IS THAT THE EXACT NUMBER THAT, THAT, THAT'S APPROXIMATELY WHAT WE'RE ESTIMATING WHAT THE CONTRACT IS GONNA BE FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR.
AND THEN ON THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, JUST AGAIN ASKING A QUESTION BECAUSE WE ONLY USED LIKE 70,000 OF IT MM-HMM
BEFORE AND, BUT WE'RE STILL ASKING FOR ONE 60.
DO WE ANTICIPATE THAT THERE MAY BE SOME MORE LEGAL PROFESSIONAL THINGS WE NEED? PROBABLY NOT ANTICIPATING USING THE ENTIRE, UM, AMOUNT.
UM, THAT'S BEEN SET ASIDE FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES.
WE DO HAVE ABOUT 80,000 THAT IS GONNA BE USED FOR THE FEASIBILITY MARKET ANALYSIS.
WE DO HAVE, UM, I'M TRYING TO THINK OF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, UH, THE CONTRACT FOR EQUIFAX AND THEN, UH, WE DID SET ASIDE 20,000 FOR, UH, LEGAL SERVICES AS WELL.
KIND OF GIVE US A, A LITTLE BIT OF A CUSHION.
UH, BRIAN, WHAT, WHY, WHAT IS THE REASON FOR THE DECLINE IN, UH, CITY INCREMENT? THE REASON FOR THE DECLINE, UM, IN, IN THE CITY INCREMENT, UM, ONE OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS THERE HAS BEEN, UM, ANNEXATION AND THERE'S BEEN REMOVAL AND THEN ANNEXATION OF PROPERTY IN AND OUT OF THE ZONE.
AND SO THAT'S GONNA BE THE PRIMARY FACTOR THAT, THAT WE'RE SEEING.
RELATED TO, UM, AND SO WE SHOULD, I WOULD, I WOULD SAY IN THE NEXT PROBABLY TWO FISCAL YEAR, SEE A SIGNIFICANT JUMP, UM, IN WHAT THE INCREMENT IS GONNA BE.
AND SO THE COUNTY INCREMENT WENT UP, CITY INCREMENT WENT DOWN, REPRESENTS MORE OF THE EXCHANGE OF PROPERTIES.
IF I MAY GO BACK TO GINA'S POINT, UM, REGARDING THE COST FOR LAND MAINTENANCE AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, I KNOW THAT AS THE YEARS, UH, PROGRESS, UM, SERVICES, UH, COST MORE.
BUT, UM, IS THE CITY MAKING ANY EFFORT, UH, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET COMPETITIVE BIDS? BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT THE PERCENTAGE OF INCREASE THAT IS, UM, IN MY VIEW MM-HMM
THAT IS EXORBITANT AS FAR AS FROM YEAR, TWO YEAR INCREMENT PER THIS NEW BUDGET, UH, COMPARED TO THE YEAR PRIOR.
AND, UM, AS I WANT TO SAY, AS FIDUCIARY, WE CAN JUST AGREE AND AGREE AND AGREE.
UM, I THINK THAT BEFORE THESE NUMBERS ARE PRESENTED, IT SHOULD BE BASED ON, UM, ON, ON PRECISE PROJECTION, SHOULD BE BASED ON HARD FACTS.
FOR EXAMPLE, HAVING SAID, OH, WE RETAIN COMPANY A THROUGH THE LAST FOUR YEARS, AND NOW, UM, BECAUSE WE HAVE OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, UM, AND EXPECTED PROJECTED COST, LET'S OPEN IT UP TO OTHER COMPANIES MM-HMM
BECAUSE, UM, WE DON'T HAVE LIMITED PER PERS MM-HMM
AND WE, WE DO GO THROUGH, UH, PROFESSIONAL, UH, BIDDING SERVICES, UM, REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR, UM, THE LANDSCAPE AND MAINTENANCE, UH, CONTRACT.
AND THAT'S THE BEST NUMBER THAT WE GOT.
$800,000 MORE THAN THE PRIOR YEAR.
WELL, WE WE'RE FOR 2024 OR 24 25.
OUR BUDGET IS THE SAME AS FOR THIS YEAR.
IT JUST, THEY, AT THIS POINT THEY'VE ONLY SPENT 406,000.
[00:10:01]
IS THAT, THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S, IS THAT WHAT THEY EXPECT? THAT'S WHAT WE ANTICIPATE, ANTICIPATE SPENDING UP TO THIS POINT.AND I WOULD JUST SAY, JUST TO CONFIRM WHAT, WHAT BRIAN IS SAYING IS CITY ABSOLUTELY DOES GO THROUGH THE COMPETITIVE BIDDING PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THAT SOMETIMES YOU DON'T GO WITH THE LOW BID ALL THE TIME, RIGHT.
BECAUSE YOU WANT TO DO IT BASED OFF OF THE QUALITY OF THE SERVICE THAT YOU'RE GONNA GET.
AND SO SOMETIME THE PERSON WHO BIDS THE LOWEST IS NOT GONNA GET YOU THE BEST VALUE FOR THE SERVICE.
AND SO YOU MAY NOT ALWAYS, YOU MAY NOT ALWAYS GO WITH, UM, THE LOW BID WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, SOMETIMES AT THE POINT THAT THE CONTRACT EXPIRES, IT'S IN BETWEEN CYCLES TO WHERE YOU'RE TRYING TO GET A BUDGET OUT.
THE CONTRACT DON'T ALIGN DAY FOR DAY FOR THE BUDGET PERIOD.
SO YOU WILL SEE, YOU KNOW, UP AND DOWN.
BRENT AND BRENT, THIS MAY BE, UH, SOMETHING, I KNOW YELLOWSTONE HAS THE CONTRACT FOR YES.
SAN SNA AND BLUE HERRING, AND THEY ALSO HAVE IT FOR EMMETT HUTTO.
NOW I DON'T THINK HUTTO IS NOT IN THAT.
HOW, HOW DID THEY BRING THAT OUT? DO YOU KNOW BRIAN? RIGHT.
I'LL, I'LL AB IT'S SO IT IS, IT IS, IT'S BROKEN OUT BASED ON LOCATION AND SO WE'LL BE, SO WHEN YOUR STUDY DOES HOURS, I DIDN'T KNOW IF THEY HAD SO MANY HOURS THAT THEY KEPT UP WITH, YOU KNOW, LIKE ON BLUE HERRING OR OVER ON YEAH, IT'S, IT'S IT'S TOE.
IT'S JUST BECAUSE I THAT'S RIGHT IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, SO I COME OUT AND I SEE 'EM.
WELL RICK, WE, WE SEE 'EM OUT THERE.
AND SO I, I WONDER, I DO A PRETTY GOOD JOB OUT THERE.
YEAH, WELL THEY DO A GREAT JOB, BUT I WAS JUST WONDERING IF IT'S, YOU KNOW, TOURS IS HOW THEY DIFFERENTIATE.
IT'S, IT'S, IT'S BROKEN OUT BY LOCATION.
AND SO IF IT'S NOT LOCATED WITHIN THE ZONE, THEN IT'S CHARGED TO THE GENERAL FUND AND IF IT IS LOCATED WITHIN THE ZONE, THEN IT'S CHARGED APPROPRIATELY TO THE UH, TST.
AND FROM A BUDGETING STANDPOINT, WE ACTUALLY NOTICED THIS YEAR THAT, UM, I THINK WE WERE DOUBLE-DIPPING ON THE BUDGET SIDE BECAUSE WE BUDGETED FOR THE TURS LOCATIONS WITH THE TURS AND THEN WE BUDGETED FOR THE GENERAL FUND LOCATIONS AND THE TOURS LOCATIONS IN THE GENERAL FUND.
AND WE NOTICED THAT THIS YEAR, NOT, NOT EXPENDITURE BASE, BUT JUST, YOU KNOW, THE BUDGET.
THAT'S, IS THAT THE REASON GRANT, WHY WE SEE 4 0 6, 400, $6,000 THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE ESTIMATED FOR THIS YEAR? OR IS IT, WHAT IS THE MITIGATING FACTOR THERE AND, AND SOME OF THE, THE EXPENSES THAT ARE ALSO INCLUDED IN THE, THE LAND MAINTENANCE ITEM, UM, MANY TIMES PEOPLE, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES NOW HAVE UM, YOU KNOW, RAN INTO THE SAME OF MONUMENT.
THEY'VE DAMAGED AND, YOU KNOW, DAMAGE TO, YOU KNOW, THE, THE LANDSCAPING.
SO THEN WE'LL HAVE TO PAY, IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEET THE COST TO, UM, THAT, THAT FALLS UNDER THE CITY'S INSURANCE.
AND SO THEN WE ACTUALLY HAVE TO PAY SO OF POCKET FOR THOSE FEE AS ANTICIPATION OF SOME KIND OF RISK MITIGATION.
I KNOW FROM SITTING IN THE PAST, FROM BEING ON PARK AND RES BOARD ADVISORY BOARD, I KNOW WE GET UPDATES ON SNA AND THE DAMAGE THAT WAS JUST DONE TO SOME OF THE IRON MM-HMM
SO SOME, MAY IT BE 4 0 6 AGAIN NEXT YEAR.
AND I WOULD JUST SAY I'M, YOU KNOW, I, I QUESTION IT JUST BECAUSE THE NUMBERS VARY, BUT, BUT I WOULD ALSO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, IT DEPENDS ON THE SEASON.
YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE ALL THAT, IT'S BEAUTIFUL OUT THERE, YOU KNOW, IF THE SPRINKLER SYSTEM HAPPENS TO BREAK THE SPRINKLER HEAD BREAKS, YOU CAN'T WATER AND THEN THEY DIE AND THEN THEY END UP HAVING TO GO AND REPLACE THAT STUFF AND YOU CAN'T REALLY PLAN FOR THAT EVERY YEAR.
SO YOU JUST, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE AN ESTIMATED AMOUNT AND IF YOU NEED IT, YOU HAVE IT THERE AND IF YOU DON'T NEED IT, THEN IT STAYS THERE AND YOU DON'T USE IT, WHICH IS WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THIS CASE.
YOU CAN HAVE A HARD FREEZE TOO.
YOU LOSE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TO REPLANT.
SO I'D RATHER US TO HAVE MONEY SITTING THERE THAT WE, UM, WE'VE ALLOCATED, WE CAN DEFINITELY HAVE.
I I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, UM, I'M CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT, UM, I'M SUGGESTING TO GO WITH THE CHEAPEST BID OR INSINUATING THAT CHEAPEST IS ALWAYS BETTER.
BUT I JUST WANT TO KNOW, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE, I WANT TO CONVEY THAT WE HAVE TO, UH, LOOK OUT FOR THE PRINCIPLES MM-HMM
AND WHEN I AM IN BUSINESS AND MOST OF THESE GUYS ARE, UM, 40% INCREMENT WILL CATCH MY ATTENTION EVERY
[00:15:01]
