Feb 17, 2026 City Council

ON TO REGULAR AGENDA ITEM ONE, DISCUSS THE DRAFT OF AN ORDINANCE THAT WILL PROHIBIT AMPLIFIED SOUNDS.

I MOTION BY COUNCILMAN BAKER.

SECOND.

I SECOND BY COUNCILMAN BUELL.

CALL FOR VOTE.

ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? OKAY.

CIN, THE AGENDA IS APPROVED AS PRESENTED.

MOVE

[1. Discuss the draft of an ordinance that will prohibit amplified sounds beginning at 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and that will limit amplified sounds to certain decibel levels at all other times. – Sherri Russell ]

BE BEGINNING AT 10:00 PM SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY, AND 11:00 PM FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

AND THAT WILL LIMIT AMPLIFIED MUSIC.

SOUNDS TO CERTAIN DECIBEL, UH, LEVELS AT ALL, OTHER TIMES, MS. RUSSELL.

THIS, THIS IS ALSO, UH, FROM THE STATE LAW YOU MEASURE AT THE PERIMETER, BUT IF IT'S, IF IT'S REASONABLE, TRY TO EXCLUDE ANY OTHER NOISE TRAFFIC OR BACKGROUND NOISE.

THIS IS JUST A DRAFT.

AS YOU CAN SEE, I'VE COME UP WITH, DRAFTED SOME DEFINITIONS.

RIGHT NOW, THE, I'VE GOT RESPONSIBLE PARTY, MEANING A MANAGER OR OWNER, AND THEN, UM, NOW THAT'S THE OPERATING THEN RESPONSIBLE PARTY BROADENS IT TO SOUND ENGINEER, AUDIO PROFESSIONAL.

UH, SO DOWN IN THE ORDINANCE, IF YOU WANNA SKIP THE APPLICABILITY, THEN, UH, THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY OR THE OPERATOR, I'VE DONE THAT JUST TO HOVER MY CASES, SORT OF DOUBLE THINGS UP.

UM, YOU CAN'T, THIS IS THE TEXAS LAW USED AN AMPLIFIED SOUND BETWEEN 10 AND SEVEN IN A WAY THAT CAUSES IT TO EMANATE FROM THE ESTABLISHMENT.

SO THAT WOULD BE, IF YOU'RE ON THE PROPERTY LINE, NO ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO HEAR YOUR MUSIC.

UM, 10 AND SEVEN SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY AND 11 AND SEVEN FRIDAY INSIDE.

AND NOW THE STATE LAW JUST HAS THE CUTOFF AT NIGHT.

IT DIDN'T GIVE UP A SPAN.

SO I BASED THE 7:00 AM BASED ON OUR CONSTRUCTION NOISE ORDINANCE.

SO THEY'RE THE SAME.

AND THEN ANY OTHER TIME FROM 7:00 AM I GUESS TILL 9:00 PM TILL 9:59 PM IS WHEN THE DECIBELS GET MEASURED.

AND, UM, THAT WOULD BE PROPERTY LINE 70 OR 75, DEPENDING ON WHICH TYPE OF NOISE IS BEING, UM, MEASURED.

AND THEN THE LAST ONE, D

[00:05:01]

OUR TRAFFIC DOWNTOWN ISN'T REAL FAST, SO YOU'RE NOT GONNA PICK UP ZOOMING.

BUT, SO THAT IS NOT THAT JUST A VERY BASIC RIGHT.

WORK.

AND AGAIN, THIS GOES ALONG WITH WHAT WE'VE DISCUSSED, UH, MANY TIMES.

AND IT'S BASED OFF OF FOLLOWING THE STATE, UH, DIRECTIVE, DIRECTIVE.

UH, DID THE, UH, POLICE DEPARTMENT SPEAK WITH THE, UH, TWO OWNERS BEFORE WE DRAFTED THIS? LIKE WE DISCUSSED ON BEFORE? WE DID LAST TIME, UH, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT DID WE MAILED THEM A COPY OF THIS ORDINANCE? SO WE DIDN'T DISCUSS, WE DIDN'T CALL THEM IN AND TALK TO THEM.

NO, WE, NO.

WE MAILED THEM A COPY.

DID WE GET ANY KIND OF RESPOND, ANYTHING? UH, NOT YET.

UH, BUT TONIGHT YOU'RE NOT HAVING A, A READING.

IT'S A DRAFT.

SO YOU HAVE TWO OTHER MEETINGS FOR, TO DISCUSS.

BUT I WILL PUT THIS OUT THERE.

THEY WERE, THEY WERE IN ATTENDANCE THE FIRST TIME THAT WE TALKED ABOUT THIS, AND WE HAD THIS ENTIRE CONVERSATION.

SO THEY WERE FULLY AWARE THAT IF THEY WERE UNABLE TO SELF-REGULATE, THEN WE WOULD BE NO, I'M, I'M NOT SAYING THAT I'M GOING AGAINST THEM OR ANYTHING.

NO.

WHAT I'M SAYING IS, IS THAT THE WAY YOU'RE SAYING THAT THEY WAS AT FIRST? I WAS JUST SAYING HAVE, DID WE HAVE, DID WE FOLLOW UP ON, WE DISCUSSED THAT.

WE SAID WE WAS GOING SPEAK WITH THEM BEFORE WE TALKED ABOUT, BUT THIS ISN'T A FINAL DRAFT.

WHAT I WAS JUST, I JUST ASKED A QUESTION FIRST READING WILL BE IN MARCH.

MARCH.

SO I HAVE A QUESTION.

I'M NOT A SOUND EXPERT BY ANY MEANS, BUT DOES IMPLI AMPLIFIED SOUND INCLUDE BASE? YES.

BECAUSE OUR BIGGEST ISSUE IS THE BASS, YOU KNOW? YES, YES.

THE VIBRATION.

NOT REALLY SOUND, BUT THE VIBRATION OF IT.

IF YOU LOOK UP IN THE DEFINITIONS, UM, AMPLIFIED SOUND IS NOT, IT ISN'T THE PARTICULAR TYPE OF MUSIC.

IT'S THE FACT THAT YOU'VE GOT THE AMPLIFICATION EQUIPMENT MAKING THE SOUND LOUDER.

SO ANY SORT OF SOUND, INCLUDING BASS IS INCLUDED.

AND KIND OF WHAT I WAS SAYING, UH, COUNCILMAN BAKER IS JUST THAT, UM, WE HAVE, THEY HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THIS DISCUSSION, AND I FELT LIKE IT WAS A PRETTY OPEN DISCUSSION, UM, IN THAT FIRST MEETING.

AND, AND, AND I AGREE 100%.

I I LIVE IN THAT AREA, RIGHT.

I, IT, IT AFFECT ME MORE.

IT AFFECT ME MORE THAN IT AFFECT YOU.

MM-HMM .

SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT I WAS ASKING.

SO, I MEAN, BELIEVE ME, I HEAR IT ALL THE TIME.

SO I WAS JUST, I WAS JUST ASKING DID WE FOLLOW UP ON, DID, DID JUST FOLLOW UP ON OUR PART THAT WE DISCUSSED? THAT'S ALL I WAS ASKING.

AND I'LL JUST BE REAL HONEST WITH YOU.

THREE DAYS, THREE DAYS, THREE DAYS AFTER THAT MEETING WHERE THEY, THEY WERE ASKED IF WE SELF-REGULATE.

WE WERE GETTING PAGES OF COMPLAINTS, AND I WAS STANDING IN ONE OF YOUR NEIGHBOR'S YARDS LISTENING TO THE LYRICS OF THE MUSIC.

SO, AND I WAS PROBABLY STANDING IN MY BACKYARD PROBABLY HEARING THE SAME THING.

SO I'M JUST SAYING, LET'S FOLLOW STATE LAW.

LET'S GIVE PD THE TOOLS THAT THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO PROTECT THE RESIDENTS AND TO HAVE PEACE IN THEIR HOME.

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

I, I, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH PD WITH LEAVING.

MR. WE CAN, WE CAN SEND YOU A COPY.

UM, MS. RELL SENT A LETTER, UH, TO EACH OWNER WITH, WITH THE, UM, WITH THE ORDINANCE, AND WE CAN PROVIDE COUNSEL.

I, I, I JUST WANT TO DOT THE DOT OUR I'S AND CROSS OUR T'S AND JUST, I MEAN, SOMETIME WE HAVE TO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND.

MM-HMM .

BE THE BIGGER PERSON THAN DIDN'T THEN WAITING FOR THEM TO COME IN LATER OR WHATEVER.

COMMENT ON IT, SHOULD WE SEND THIS TO MULTIPLE RESTAURANT, NOT JUST THOSE TWO? BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME OTHER FOLKS WHO MIGHT NEED TO, LIKE A WORST HOUSE.

SO I THINK THE, THE ISSUE OF AMPLIFIED MUSIC, IF IT'S INSIDE BUILDINGS, THEN MOST OF THE TIME IT DOES NOT BOTHER.

RESIDENTS CAN BE VERY LOUD INSIDE, BUT IT'S NOT BOTHERING PEOPLE OUTSIDE.

IT'S THE ISSUE OF MUSIC BEING PLAYED IN AN OPEN FORUM AND BEING LOUD.

THAT'S PART OF THE PROBLEM.

FOR SURE.

SO WHAT, WHAT I'M HEARING IS, IS THAT, UH, IF WE GO FORWARD WITH THIS, UH, WE'LL GIVE DIRECTION, UH, TO COUNT, UH, THIS, UH, CITY ATTORNEY, UH, TO BRING BACK A, A, UH, A FORMAL ORDINANCE BACK FOR THE FIRST READING IS WE'LL SEND, WE'LL, WE'LL SEND THE DRAFT TO, UH, THE TWO BUSINESSES AND LET THEM KNOW THAT, UH, IT'LL BE COMING UP TO A FORMAL ORDINANCE.

FIRST READING WILL BE COMING UP TO ON THE FIRST MEETING IN MARCH.

SO THAT, UH, IF THEY WANT TO, UH, HAVE FURTHER

[00:10:01]

THEY PLAY MUSIC, UH, OUTSIDE AS WELL.

SO I DON'T WANNA SINGLE OUT THOSE TWO BUSINESSES.

I WANNA MAKE SURE IT'S, IF THEY'RE NOT, IF THEY'RE NOT MAKING LOUD NOISE, I MEAN YEAH, WE HAVEN'T SINGLED OUT THOSE TWO BUSINESSES.

NO, I, TWO BUSINESSES HAVE SINGLED OUT THEMSELVES, BUT EVERYBODY'S INPUT.

IF THEY'RE NOT VIOLATED, THEN, BUT THAT'S, I MEAN, THAT'S NOT A BAD, I I THINK ANYBODY HAS, YOU SAID, I, I, I THINK WE SHOULD GO ACROSS THE BOARD.

IF WE'RE GONNA DO IT FOR ONE, WE SHOULD GO ACROSS THE BOARD AND JUST SEND IT OUT TO EVERYBODY.

SO WE'LL SEND IT TO ALL, UH, DOWNTOWN, UH, BUSINESSES THAT DO OUTDOOR MUSIC.

THAT'S REALLY FOUR, FOUR BUSINESSES.

BASICALLY IT'S SO WORST HOUSE WINE PLACE AND THE TEQUILA CAA SO FAR.

CASA TEQUILA AND, AND BO WHAT'S THE, BO WHAT'S THE OTHER ONE? IT'D BE BODEGA BACKYARD, CAA TEQUILA, THE WINE PLACE, WHICH I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE NEW NAME IS.

AND THEN HORSE HOUSE.

THOSE ARE THE FOUR VENUES OR FIVE VENUES THAT HAVE OUT ROOMS. OKAY.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS? THIS DRAFT? THANK YOU CHAIR.

IS THAT GONNA FOR, IS THAT GONNA AFFECT US IN ANY WAY WHEN WE HAVE OUR OUTDOOR NO CONCERNS OR ANYTHING? NO, IT SAYS THAT, IT SAYS THAT IN, YEAH, I'VE, I'VE EXCLUDED THAT.

AND IT'S ALSO, THIS IS FOR COMMERCIAL ESTABLISHMENT.

AND OUR, OUR CONCERTS ARE OVER BY 10 11 OVER BY 10.

AND THE MAYOR IS THE OPERATOR.

IT'S ALRIGHT.

SO YOU'RE OKAY WITH A DIRECTION YOU DON'T NEED TO? YES, IT'S FINE.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO NEXT

[2. Approve the selection of three separate CMAR firms, Broaddus Construction, Construction Masters, and Noble Construction, for Step I of the CMAR selection for the Recreation Center Locker Room Renovations and authorize the City Manager to move to Step II and request proposals from the short-listed firms (City Project No. 25-13-1764).]

ITEM IS ITEM TWO.

UH, APPROVE THE SELECTION OF, UH, THREE SEPARATE C-C-M-A-R FIRMS, UH, BROAD US CONSTRUCTION, UH, CONSTRUCTION MASTERS, AND, UH, NOBLE CONSTRUCTION FOR STEP ONE OF THE CMR SELECTION FOR THE RECREATION CENTER LOCKER ROOM RENOVATIONS.

AND AUTHORIZE THE MANAGER TO MOVE TO STEP TWO AND REQUEST PROPOSAL FROM THE SHORTLISTED FIRMS. MM-HMM.

GOOD EVENING.

UM, SO WE HAVE ALREADY GONE THROUGH THE FIRST STEP OF THIS PROCESS.

WE, UM, RECEIVED, UM, FIVE STATEMENTS OF QUALIFICATIONS.

UM, AND THROUGH THE, AFTER REVIEWING THE SELECTION COMMITTEE COMMITTEE REVIEWED EVERYTHING, UM, AND SCORED THEM.

THE TOP THREE WERE BROADUS CONSTRUCTION, CONSTRUCTION MASTERS, AND NOBLE CONSTRUCTION.

UM, SO WE ARE ASKING, RECOMMENDING TO MOVE ON WITH THE SECOND STEP OF THIS PROCESS, UM, WITH THE, THE THREE TOP RANKED FIRMS TO HELP US IN THE SELECTION OF PICKING THE CMAR FOR THIS PROJECT.

ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OTHER THAN, HAVE WE USED ANY OF THE THREE OF THESE BEFORE? UH, YE UH, I DON'T KNOW.

BRODIS, I, I DON'T, I'M NOT AWARE THE CITY HAS USED THEM.

ANOTHER, THE CITY HAS USED CONSTRUCTION MASTERS.

CONSTRUCTION MASTERS IN NOBLE FOR SURE.

WE'VE DEFINITELY USED BOTH OF THOSE BEFORE.

AND WHAT'S THE TIME PERIOD ON THESE PROJECTS? UM, WE WANT TO GET THIS SELECTED, SO WE'RE HOPING BY HAVE THE CONTRACT SIGNED UP.

UM, THE TIMELINE WAS IN APRIL TO KIND OF, I THINK BRING IT BACK TO COUNCIL, THE 20TH OF APRIL.

I BELIEVE THAT'S THE COUNCIL DAY ANYWAY, SO WE CAN GET THIS MOVING.

ONCE WE GET THAT DONE, WE'RE GONNA START ON STARTING.

AND THAT COMPLETION IS ROUGHLY, WE ARE, HOPEFULLY WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO START THE RENOVATIONS, UM, AUGUST AND BE DONE BY DECEMBER.

UM, I, THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WHEN WE ARE GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS IS OF WHO CAN STICK TO THAT TIMELINE.

SO IT'S GONNA GO THROUGH THE SUMMER TIME IN OUR BIG YEAH, I DON'T, WE COULDN'T, THERE'S NO WAY WE COULD CLOSE THE LOCKER ROOMS IN THE SUMMER.

WE JUST WOULDN'T HAVE ENOUGH RESTROOMS TO, TO ACCOMMODATE THAT WOULD.

SO, UM, BUT UM, SO THROUGH THE WINTER MONTHS WE START SLOWING DOWN ONCE SCHOOL STARTS.

SOME OF IT DOES SLOW DOWN A LITTLE BIT, BUT YOU GET IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER AND WITH ALL THE HOLIDAYS, PEOPLE ARE REALLY BUSY.

SO WE, WE ALWAYS SEE THAT DROP IN NUMBER.

SO THAT'S REALLY A GOOD TIME TO, YOU KNOW, WE CAN ACCOMMODATE.

I'M NOT COMPLAINING I GOT A COLD OR SOMETHING.

I, I I WANTED TO SOUND KIND OF ROUGH OVER.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT, Y'ALL DOING A GREAT JOB OVER THERE.

YOURS, YOU SOUNDED HARSH.

I'M JUST JOKING WITH YOU.

NO, YOU'RE FINE.

YEAH, NO, YEAH, I'M REALLY THE, THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS TO START THIS SO EARLY.

SO IF THERE'S MATERIAL THAT NEEDS TO BE ORDERED AND THINGS THAT WE NEED TO DO, YOU KNOW, WE ALWAYS FIND THERE'S A BACKLOG AND, OR BACK ORDER OR SOMETHING WE WANNA MAKE SURE WE CAN GET THIS IN, UM, AND STICK TO THAT TIMELINE.

[00:15:01]

WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING Y'ALL DOING.

THANK YOU.

SECOND, COUNCILMAN SCHOOLER.

IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL TAKE A MOTION ON THE REQUEST.

ITEM THREE AWARD,

[3. Award the construction contract (City Project No: 25-05-0977) to the lowest and most qualified contractor, R&B Group, Inc., and authorize the City Manager to execute a contract for the Lift Station 1 & Force Main Replacement Project for $12,503,354.05, which includes the base bid, alternates 1, 2, and 3, extra work items, and a 10% City Contingency Allowance. ]

THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT CITY PROJECT NUMBER 25 0 5 0 9 7 7 TO THE LOWEST AND MOST QUALIFIED CONTRACTOR, R AND B GROUP INCORPORATED AND AUTHORIZED THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A CONTRACT FOR THE LIFT STATION.

NUMBER ONE, FORCE MAIN REPLACEMENT PROJECT, NU FOR $12,503,354 AND 5 CENTS, UH, WHICH INCLUDES THE BASE BID, UH, ALTERNATES ONE, AND THERE'S A CORRECTION HERE, UM, AND EXTRA WORK ITEMS AND A 10% CITY CONTINGENCY ALLOWANCE AND R WILL YES, MR. CORRECT.

ALL THAT.

SO, UM, THIS IS THE FIRST OF THE, ONE OF THE BIGGEST INVESTMENT WE ARE INVESTING IN OUR SEWER SYSTEM AND THIS IS THE BONDS SOLD LAST YEAR, THAT $20 MILLION BOND FROM UTILITIES.

UM, WE, WE WERE SO GRATEFUL THAT WE HAVE EIGHT BIDS, SO THERE WERE A LOT OF BIDS.

SO WE GOT A VERY GOOD BID.

IT CAME BELOW OUR ESTIMATE AND WE HAVE OUR ENGINEERING CONSULTANT OL HERE.

THEY, THEY VEED OUT THE CONTRACTORS AND THE CONTRACTORS REPRESENTATIVE IS ALSO HERE.

SO WE ASK COUNCIL TO AWARD THE CONTRACT.

IT WOULD BE A 450 DAYS, UH, CONSTRUCTION TIME.

SO I HAD READING THROUGH THAT.

I JUST HAD A QUESTION.

SO LIFT STATION ONE IS 70% OF THE WASTEWATER THAT MOVES THROUGH LAKE JACKSON.

WHEN YOU'RE IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THAT, WHAT HAPPENS? LIKE WHAT'S THE PROCESS THERE? THEY WILL BILL, I WILL HAVE THE, THE CONSULTANT ANSWERED THAT.

JUST WHAT'S THE BACKUP PLANT DURING CONSTRUCTION? YES.

SO THEY FIRST HAVE TO BUILD THE LIFT STATION.

UH, ONCE THE LIFT STATION ON THE FOREST LANE'S BUILT, UH, THERE'S A BYPASS SET UP AT THE, UH, TREATMENT PLANT ALREADY.

SO WE'LL CONNECT TO THE HEADWORKS, UH, WE'LL TEST IT OUT AND ONCE IT'S TESTED OUT AND, AND DEEMED TO BE ACCEPTABLE TO BE INTO COMMISSION, THEN WE WILL DEMOLISH THE EXISTING LIFT STATION.

SO IS A MOBILE ONE OR JUST ACTUALLY A, A PHYSICAL UH, REPLACEMENT? IT'S A, IT'S A NEW ONE.

IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO IT.

SO THE ORIGINAL, ORIGINAL THOUGHT WAS IS THAT WE WERE GOING TO REBUILD THE CURRENT ASSET AND THE DECISION WAS IS TO JUST BUILD, IT WAS GONNA BE MORE EFFECT COST EFFECTIVE OR BETTER LONG TERM TO BUILD A NEW ONE JUST BESIDE IT LIKE WE'RE DOING AND THEN SWITCH OVER TO IT.

I UNDERSTAND.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING THAT WITH THE DELAY IS NOT A PROBLEM, RIGHT? MM-HMM.

SO IT'S ROUGHLY MORE BETTER COURSE THE COST OF THE, THE EQUIPMENT VERSUS THE LABOR.

UM, SO IN, IN THEORY, YOU KNOW, EQUIPMENT'S TYPICALLY SOMEWHERE 30 TO 35%, ESPECIALLY FOR A PROJECT OF THIS SIZE.

BUT, UH, WE DID, YOU KNOW, REACH OUT TO MANUFACTURERS BEFOREHAND AND WE DO CALCULATE, YOU KNOW, BASED ON THE LABOR OVERHEAD AND PROFIT AND RISK PERCENTAGE.

AND THAT'S HOW WE COME UP WITH AN ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE.

UM, BUT OBVIOUSLY THE CONTRACTOR WOULD HAVE THE, THE MOST UPTODATE PRICING.

UH, BUT IT'S TYPICALLY AROUND THAT, THAT PERCENTAGE.

BUT PROJECT, YES, AND AGAIN, TONIGHT ON THE AGENDA IT HAS ALTERNATES ONE, TWO, AND THREE.

WE'RE ONLY ASKING TO APPROVE ALTERNATES, ONE WITH THE X-RAY AND THE CONTINGENCY.

SO WE'RE MOVING, WE'RE NOT CHANGING THE AMOUNT OF DOLLARS, WE'RE MOVING THOSE TO THE CONTINGENCY ALTERNATE TWO AND THREE.

SO ALTERNATE TWO AND THREE COME OFF THE TABLE.

AND, AND, AND WHAT KIND OF LIFESPAN CAN WE LOOK AT GETTING OUT OF THAT? UH, I MEAN, IT'S A LITTLE, JUST ROUGHLY, JUST ROUGHLY.

I MEAN, YOU CAN'T GUARANTEE ANYTHING.

YEAH, I MEAN, I MEAN YOUR, YOUR PUMPS, YOUR ELECTRICAL AND, AND YOU KNOW, THE WET WILL ITSELF STILL LAST YOU, YOU KNOW, 25 TO 50 YEARS AT, AT A BARE MINIMUM.

BUT AS LONG AS YOU MAINTAIN IT, UM, YOU KNOW, SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE, IT MIGHT GO LONGER THAN THAT.

YOU KNOW, IT CAN LAST LONGER.

WHEN YOU, WAS THE CURRENT ONE BUILT? WHEN WAS IT BUILT? I THINK IT WAS IN THE FIFTIES.

IT'S GONNA OUT LESS OUT.

[00:20:01]

OH MAN.

WE WAS TALKING ABOUT BEFORE BILL, WE GOT OUR MONEY'S WORTH.

WE, WE REBUILT THE BASE A FEW TIMES THAT WE RELINE.

OH, WE REALLY GOT OUR MONEY OUTTA THAT ONE.

AND THAT REALLY IS CREDIT TO OUR, OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.

'CAUSE MAN, THEY TAKE CARE OF OUR STUFF.

THE MAINTENANCE IS GOOD.

MM-HMM.

AND THEY GET EVERY DOLLAR'S WORTH OF OUR EQUIPMENT OF COURSE.

SO, GREAT JOB.

I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT.

IT'S A BIG DEAL.

ANYWAY.

ALRIGHT, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANYBODY? NO, SIR.

NO SIR.

REAL? YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD? UH, NO SIR.

WE JUST ASK COUNSEL'S BLESSING.

IF THERE'S ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, I'LL UH, CALL FOR MOTION MAYOR.

I'LL MAKE, UH, THE MOTION TO AWARD THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT, UH, TO THE LOWEST AND MOST QUALIFIED CONTRACTOR R AND B GROUP AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE CONTRACT FOR THE LIFT STATION.

ONE ENFORCE MAIN REPLACEMENT PROJECT FOR $12,503,354 AND 5 CENTS, WHICH INCLUDES THE BASE BID ALTERNATES, ONE EXTRA WORK ITEMS AND A 10% CITY CONTINGENCY ALLOWANCE.

SECOND.

AND THE SECOND WAS HAN.

ALRIGHT, I SAY THAT RIGHT, AUGUSTA? YES.

UH, STAFF UPDATES, CITY MANAGER, OYSTER CREEK CLEARING.

ALL RIGHT.

UH, WE GOT A, UH, MOTION BY COUNCILWOMAN SETH, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN HANYA.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WITHOUT HEARING ANY, I'LL CALL FOR A VOTE.

ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

A AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT.

UH, MOTIONS APPROVED.

NEXT ITEMS, ITEM FOUR,

[4. Staff updates]

UM, THE ITEM ABOVE IS WHAT I RECEIVED FROM THE COUNTY, THE ASSISTANT COUNTY ENGINEER WHO'S HEADING THIS, UH, PROJECT.

UM, THE, UH, THE COMMISSIONER COURT, UH, COURT APPROVED, UH, THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT ON THEIR SIDE ON JANUARY 27TH.

THERE'S BEEN SOME, UH, CHANGES SINCE THEN.

UH, BUT OUR AMOUNT OF CONTRIBUTION HAS NOT CHANGED.

UH, THEY EXPECT, THEY EXPECT THE DESIGN TO BE COMPLETED, UH, AT THE END OF THIS MONTH.

AND THEY'RE SCHEDULED FOR, UM, MARCH OR MARCH APRIL FOR, UH, BIDDING.

AND SO IF THEY DO, I WOULD SAY PROBABLY SOMETIME IN THAT LATE APRIL OR EARLY MAY, THEY'LL HAVE A CON HAVE A CONTRACT SIGNED.

AGAIN, REMINDER THE PROJECT, THE TOTAL PROJECT IS 4.2 MILLION, UH, DOLLARS.

AND THAT'S TO CLEAN, YOU KNOW, THE CREEK, YOU KNOW, THE NORTHERN END OF THE CREEK, ALL THE WAY DOWN THROUGH US.

PA THE, YOU KNOW, THROUGH, UH, YOU KNOW, THROUGH KLU.

AND SO OUR LAKE JACKSON SHARE IS, UH, 201 AND WE BUDGETED, UH, 205, UH, FOR THIS.

BUT THIS SHOULD BE, THIS SHOULD BE CLOSE TO OUR, OUR FINAL SHARE OF CONTRIBUTION AND THE COUNTY WILL HANDLE THE COMPLETE.

AND WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME WE'D DONE THAT? UH, SINCE THE LAST STORM.

UH, WHEN WE HAD, WHEN WE HAD A PERMIT AND THAT WAS THE, AGAIN, THAT WAS LED BY THE COUNTY, YOU KNOW, ON THAT ONE.

THE PREVIOUS ONE BEFORE THAT WAS LED BY US, BUT IT WAS JUST OUR PORTION.

BUT THE MOST RECENT ONE WAS A PROJECT OF THIS SCOPE AS AS WELL.

SO THIS HAS, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, EVERY CITY THAT'S ALONG THE CREEK AS DRAINAGE DISTRICT, UM, POSSIBILITY.

UM, SO THERE'S .

SO ARE THEY GONNA DO A SIMILAR WAY, BRING A BARGE TO EXPEDITED REMOVAL OF A DEBRIS? YES.

THAT'S MY, THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING.

IT'S GONNA ALL BE DONE FOR THE WATER.

AND THEN TIMEFRAME? UH, THEY THINK IF, IF IT STARTS DURING THE SUMMER, UH, THEIR GOAL IS TO FINISH, UH, BY DECEMBER WE'LL HAVE TO REMOVE A LOT OF VEGETATION FROM THE CREEK BEFORE THEY AND THEY'LL START UP NORTH AND COME.

I THINK THAT, I THINK THAT'S THE SCOPE IS TO NORTH AND WORK THEIR WAY DOWN.

AND I TOLD HIM, YOU KNOW, WHERE THIS PROJECT, YOU KNOW, IS, UH, YOU KNOW, WITH THE COUNTY, BUT UNTIL IT FIRM UP, UH, THEN ONCE IT DOES, THEN WE'LL SEND OUT A NOTIFICATION.

SO WE'RE KIND OF AT THE TAIL END.

THEY DO THE SAME THING LIKE THEY DID THE LAST TIME AS THE, THEY'VE IDENTIFIED.

PART OF THE, THE PLANNING WAS, IS IDENTIFYING, UH, PLACES WHERE THEY'LL, UH, BE ABLE TO BRING THE EQUIPMENT IN OFF THE BANK OR LOWER IT IN OFF OF BRIDGES, THE BARGE IN, AND THEN WHERE THEY CAN, UH, LIFT A, UH, DEBRIS OFF, UH, ONTO THE BANK AND HAUL IT OFF AND STUFF.

SO THEY'VE GOT, IT'LL PROBABLY IF, UH, THEY'LL BE USING FOR SURE THE SAME SITES THAT THEY USED BEFORE AND MORE, UH, TO TAKE STUFF OUT.

IS IT, IS IT SOME KIND OF WAY WE CAN CONTACT THE, UH, HOMEOWNERS AND LET 'EM KNOW THAT WE ARE GONNA BE IN THE AREA? UM, DOING THAT KIND OF WORK DO WAS GOING TO, UH, TO DO THAT? UM, WE HAVEN'T REALLY CONTACTED ANYBODY YET UNTIL WE NO, ONCE SURE.

WE FINALIZE EVERYTHING.

WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THIS WAS MAKING PROGRESS.

IT WAS MOVING ALONG BEFORE, I DIDN'T WANT TO COUNT ANY EGGS YET.

UM, BUT AS, YEAH, AS SOON AS WE GET A SCHEDULE, THEN WE'LL START, UH, LETTING HOW LAWYERS KNOW THAT IT'S A PROJECT THAT'S COMING IN.

I'VE HAD A COUPLE OF CALLS OR EMAILS JUST ASKING WHEN WE'RE GONNA CLEAR THE CREEK

[00:25:01]

AGAIN, THE COUNTY IS TAKING A LEAD ON IT.

WE'RE JUST, UH, WHEN DO WE MAKE OUR PAYMENT TO THEM? IS IT THE PRIOR OR THE END OF THE PROJECT? UM, I THINK WE MADE A PREPAYMENT ON OUR PORTION.

THEY BROKE IT OUT INTO TWO ENGINEERING AND I THINK OUR PORTION WAS, UH, IN THE FORTI ISH RANGE.

AND THEN WE'LL GET A SECOND INVOICE FOR, UH, CONSTRUCTION ONCE THEY AWARD THE BID.

AND I THINK WE'VE MADE OUR PAYMENT ALREADY IN ADVANCE FOR THE, THE ENGINEERING, THE DESIRED PORTION.

ANY, UH, ACTIONS, UH, FROM TONIGHT? UH, YES.

WE'LL SEND OUT LETTERS TO THE FIVE DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES, UH, FOR THE SOUND ORDINANCES.

AND ADVISE TO THE MARCH 2ND MEETING.

AND THEN SHERRY WILL BRING DRAFT ON THE ORDINANCE FOR US FOR THE FIRST MEETING IN MARCH.

[5. Construction Updates]

CONSTRUCTION UPDATES.

I HAVE, UH, THE LIST BEFORE YOU AND, UH, ALL THOSE PROJECTS I HAVE REPRESENTATIVE THAT CAN GIVE YOU AN UPDATE IF YOU WANT DETAILS ON THAT.

BUT, UH, IF YOU HAVE ONE IN PARTICULAR THAT YOU'RE INTERESTED OR YOU WANT TO SHOOT AT US, JUST GO AHEAD AND START DOING THAT.

HAVE WE PICKED BACK UP ON THE ANIMAL CONTROL FACILITY? YES.

UH, THEY, UH, FINALLY, UH, HAD RESOLVED THE, UH, THE WINDSTORM, UH, SITUATION.

UH, THEY'RE STILL WORKING ON DETAILS ON SOME OF THE MISSING PIECES OF THE, UH, STRUCTURE.

AND UH, UH, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER WOULD PROBABLY GIVE YOU MORE INFORMATION IF YOU, IF YOU DESIGN THAT ONE.

UH, YES SIR.

MAYOR.

UM, THEY FINALLY RESOLVED, UM, THE WINDSTORM AS AL SAYS, BUT THEY STILL HAVE, UH, SOME DETAIL AND ALSO SOME OF THE PANEL ON SITE WAS DAMAGED, SO THEY NEED TO BUY SOME EXTRA PANEL, UH, ABOUT ANOTHER 11,000 BUCKS WITH THE PANEL.

SO THEY REACH OUT TO US AND WE TOLD THEM WE ONLY PAY ONCE.

WE CAN'T PAY TWICE.

SO IT'S UP TO THE CONTRACTOR AND THE SUPPLIERS, WHICH IS WHY WE DID AT RISK, CORRECT? YES.

THAT'S AT RISK, CORRECT.

IT'S BEEN OUT ON THE WEATHER FOR A LONG TIME.

AUSTIN CREEK AND, UH, DIXIE, THEY COMING ALONG PRETTY GOOD THERE ABOUT THE WRAP UP IS GONNA BE A BIT, A LITTLE BIT LONGER.

UH, THE, UH, PAVEMENTS HAVE BEEN, UH, REPORTED AND WE'RE WAITING ON THE SECOND WEEK.

THIS IS WILL BE THURSDAY WILL BE THE, UH, SECOND LANE.

SO THEY'LL BE OPEN UP ENTIRELY.

THERE WON'T BE ANYTHING THERE LEFT.

AND THEY ARE PROGRESSING LATE.

THEY'RE PROGRESSING, UH, QUICKLY ON THE, UH, MAIN STORM DRAIN, UH, BUNK THAT GOES ALONG THE PARKWAY AT OYSTER CREEK AND GOES ALL THE WAY FROM WHERE THEY ARE AT MOSS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO, UH, SYCAMORE.

SO THAT'S THE MAIN THRUST OF, OR THE, THAT'S THE MAIN IMPORTANT, THAT'S THE MAIN SPINE OF THE, UH, DRAINAGE, UH, SYSTEM THERE FOR THE WHOLE SUBDIVISION FOR THE WHOLE PROJECT THERE.

AND THAT'S GONNA IMPROVE WATER FLOW.

UH, GOING TOWARDS THE FREDERICKS CITY.

YEAH, THAT WAS MY NEXT QUESTION.

ALONG, UH, ALONG THAT ONE, THEY ALSO START WORKING AGAIN ON THE DITCH SECTION GOING FROM OYSTER CREEK ALL THE WAY, I MEAN FROM THE OYSTER CREEK DRIVE ALL THE WAY TO OYSTER CREEK.

SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT THE, THAT STILL WOULD'VE BEEN VERY HAPPY.

CORRECT.

? CORRECT.

SEE, IS THAT GONNA HELP THE DRAINAGE IN FRONT OF THE GAS STATION, ANNIE? BECAUSE THAT'S BEEN A BIG PROBLEM.

WHEN IT RAINS, THE WATER COLLECTS IN FRONT OF THE GAS STATION AND PEOPLE PUMPING GAS AND THE CARS DRIVE BY SPLASHING THE WATER ALL OVER THE PLACE.

IT WASN'T INCLUDED IN THERE, BUT THE SYSTEM THERE COULD NOW MAKE SURE, YOU KNOW, MAKE USE OF THOSE BIGGER PIPES THERE.

UH, WE'LL LOOK AT 'EM AND SEE WHERE IT'S A BIG DRAINAGE BOX RIGHT NEXT TO THE GAS STATION.

PERHAPS SOMETHING COULD BE DONE WELL.

WELL, YEAH, THERE IS ONE THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PART OF THE ORIGINAL SYSTEM THERE.

NOW WE'RE COMING UP WITH LARGER PIPES THERE.

WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS, UH, THAT OPENING HAS NOT BEEN COMPROMISED OR WILL BE IMPROVED ON THAT.

THANK YOU, SIR.

SO IS THAT PART OF THAT WHAT A CLEANING OUT AT DIXON SENT AWAY TOO? YES.

THAT OPEN WHERE THEY CLEARING ALL OUT THERE TOO.

THEY'RE CLEARING ALL THE WAY DOWN TO, UH, THE MAIN CHANNEL, THE, WHAT WE CALL THE FREDERICK DITCH.

WHICH GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE CREEK OR TO THE, UH, TO THE BAPTIST, UH, CHURCH THERE ON WILLOW DRIVE BAPTIST.

UH, WE WILL BE IMPROVING THAT SEGMENT THERE.

WE WILL BE OPENING UP THE CHANNEL SECTION AND WE'D ALSO BE, UH, SLOPE PAVING, UH, FOR EROSION CONTROL AND FOR MAINTENANCE, UH,

[00:30:01]

COST, UH, REDUCTION.

YEAH, I, I THOUGHT THERE WAS GONNA BE A RETENTION POND RIGHT THERE, DIXIE AND, AND SENT AWAY OR WHATEVER, SO MM-HMM.

NO, NO.

AND IS HTI THAT'S DOING THAT PROJECT? CORRECT.

UM, THEY'VE DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB.

I DROVE THROUGH THERE TWICE WHEN IT WAS, YOU KNOW, THEY HAD THE HOLES DUG UP AND THEY HAD A LITTLE BYPASS.

THEY HAVE DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB MARKING EVERYTHING, CONTROLLING TRAFFIC AND GETTING ON.

SO THEY'VE DONE, THEY HAVE, UH, THAT COMPANY HAS REALLY, UH, MATURED UNDER US ACTUALLY BECAUSE WE WERE THE ONES THAT WERE FIRST GIVEN GIVING THEM, UH, SOME OF THE MAJOR JOBS OR LARGER JOBS AND THEY TOOK THEM AT HEART AND THEY'VE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB AND THEY'RE IMPROVING ON THAT.

AND THEY LIKE TO WORK, UH, WITH US.

AND, UH, JUST IN CASE, IF YOU GET ANY CALLS, THE UH, UH, UH, THE PROPERTY THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE CALL THE, TO THE TOMATO PATCH, TOMATO PATCH, UH, WHICH IS ALSO THE PROPERTY THAT, UH, ONE GENTLEMAN THAT WAS GONNA BUILD HIS BIG HOME AND STUFF OVER THERE.

HE'S GOT, UH, AGREEMENT, UH, OR THERE'S ARRANGEMENT WITH THE, UH, THE CONTRACTOR TO USE HIS PROPERTY TO STAGE ALL THE CONCRETE THEY'RE BUSTING OUT, UH, DURING THIS CONSTRUCTION.

SO YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF THAT BUSTED CONCRETE WILL COME AND GO OFF THAT PROPERTY AND ALL THAT BUILT UP, UH, EXCAVATION PILES ALONG OCEAN CREEK DRIVE ARE BEING TAKEN AS, YOU KNOW, AS FAST AS THEY CAN OUT OF THERE, FALLING IT OUT.

I SAW THE HUGE BOX THEY DELIVERED THERE FOR YOU YESTERDAY.

THAT WAS A HUGE BOX.

THOSE, THOSE ARE HUGE BOXES.

WELL, HUGE BOXES IN OUR, WELL, YEAH.

USED 10 FOOT BY 10 FOOT.

I THINK THEY'RE 10 FOOTERS.

YEAH, THEY'RE 10 FOOTERS OR SEVEN FOOT HIGH.

UH, SO YES, THEY'RE PUTTING SIGNIFICANT, UH, CONDUITS THERE.

UH, ONE OF THE PROJECTS THAT YOU, UH, HAVE IN THE PAST, UH, ASKED ABOUT, WHICH IS THE, UH, SYCAMORE, I BELIEVE, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, UH, PUBLIC RISK RECORD COLORS THAT THEY WERE GONNA START DOING SOME OF THE STRIPING, UH, IN THAT PARTICULAR, UH, DEAL THERE FOR AND FROM THERE ON, WE'LL JUST START PUTTING IN THOSE SIGNS.

THOSE, UH, THOSE, UH, STOP SIGNS AS AS THEY COME IN FROM THE, FROM THE VENDOR.

INTEREST, MR. BUELL? NO, SIR.

ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO.

[ITEMS OF COMMUNITY INTEREST]

IS ITHAN? YES.

A COUPLE OF 'EM.

UH, JUST A SUGGESTION THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF, UH, TRUCK, HEAVY TRUCK TRAFFIC GOING DOWN TO OCD AND WE DID A LOT OF REPAIRS ON OCD ALREADY ON THE PANEL REPLACEMENT.

AND I HAD A SUGGESTION 'CAUSE I SEE, UH, TRUCKS COMING OFF OF DIXIE FROM KROGER AND ONCE THEY STARTED MAKING A LEFT TURN ONTO OCD, THE SIGN SAYS NO TRUCK, NO THROUGH TRUCKS.

WELL, IT'S TOO LATE FOR THEM TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, EXCEPT GO ON, BECAUSE THEY CAN'T MAKE A U-TURN AND GO BACK.

SO PERHAPS MAYBE A SIGN ON DIXIE DRIVE, UH, BY THE CAR WASH AREA THERE THAT, UH, NO TRUCKS LEFT TURN, YOU KNOW, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

SOME UNI IN A UNIFORM CODE THAT PREVENTS THEM KNOWING BEFOREHAND THEY CAN'T TURN LEFT TRUCK TRAFFIC CANNOT GO LEFT ON OCD.

JUST A KIND OF SUGGESTION THAT MAYBE, UH, PD CAN LOOK AT THAT.

SO COME OUT THE BACK OF KROGER, CAN THEY, UH, ONTO DIXIE DRIVE? CAN THEY TURN, DO THEY HAVE TO TURN LEFT TO GO BACK OUT OR CAN THEY GO, CAN THEY TURN RIGHT AND GO? THEY, THEY USUALLY GO RIGHT, BUT THEY'RE COMING.

YEAH, I KNOW.

JUST SO THE PROBLEM IS THEY, THEY CAN STILL, SO THEY CAN TURN COMING OUTTA THE BACKSIDE OF, OF, UH, KROGER.

THEY CAN TURN RIGHT, GO TO THAT INTERSECTION AT OCD AND DIXIE DRIVE AND TURN RIGHT AND GO RIGHT TO ROAD AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

SO YEAH, I, I AGREE THERE.

PUT A SIGN OVER THERE AND SAY, YOU KNOW, BY THE TIME THEY MAKE A SIGN THEY SEE THERE'S NO TRUCKS AND IT'S TOO LATE.

THEY MIGHT AS WELL GO ON TURN.

THAT WOULD BE GOOD.

ALRIGHT, GOOD IDEA.

AND, UH, UH, I, I'LL GET WITH YOU A COUPLE OTHER ITEMS. OKAY.

SET? YES, SIR.

AND THEN THE LAST BIG THING THEY HAVE IS THEIR ANNUAL BUYING ANNUAL, UM, SHRED DAY.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU GOT A LIST? I RECEIVED A LIST FROM MS. TOSO WITH KEITH LAKE JACKSON.

BEAUTIFUL.

UH, THE FIRST UPCOMING THING IS GONNA BE THE ARBOR DAY TREE GIVEAWAY WHERE WE GIVE AWAY A HUNDRED FREE EITHER LIVE OAKS OR TRY CHINESE FRINGE TREES.

UM, THAT WILL ACTUALLY BE THIS SATURDAY CITY HALL PARKING LOT FROM NINE TO 11 OR TO WHENEVER THEY'RE GONE, WHICH IS PRETTY QUICK.

UM, THE SECOND THING THEY HAD WAS, UH, THEY WERE HAVING THEIR SPRING VEGETABLE SEMINAR WITH THE BOZO COUNTY MASTER GARDENER'S CLUB.

THAT WOULD BE ON MARCH 7TH AT 10:00 AM AT THE CIVIC CENTER.

[00:35:02]

THAT WILL BE ON 3 21.

SO CLEAN OUT YOUR CLOSETS AND YOUR DESK DRAWERS AND ALL THAT STUFF.

IT'S, IT'S A GOOD OPPORTUNITY.

AND THEN THE LAST THING IS EARLY VOTING HAS BEGAN IN CASE YOU MISSED ANY OF THE SIGNS OUT THERE, .

SO GO VOTE.

ALRIGHT, MR. SCOOTER? UH, THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF, UH, I'VE NOTICED A FEW PEOPLE PUTTING THEIR GARBAGE OUT THE DAY BEFORE OR NOT BEFORE, AND THEN SAME GARBAGE UP AND DOWN THE STREET AND, UH, UM, DO WE, UH, IF I'M CRUISING AROUND, WE SEE PEOPLE PUTTING THEIR GARBAGE OUT WAY AHEAD OF TIME.

DO WE LEAVE 'EM A LITTLE NOTE? THERE'S A REMINDER NOT TO DO THAT, OR WE'LL GO AROUND AND GIVE NOTES IF WE KNOW THAT THEY'RE PUTTING 'EM ON THE WRONG DAY.

UM, WE, AT ONE TIME WE DID GO THROUGH ONE NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE THERE WAS A COMPLAINT OF A COUPLE OF HOMES, UM, THAT WERE PUTTING IT OUT OVERNIGHT, BUT WE TRIED TO, UM, IT WAS REALLY TARGETED TOWARDS A COUPLE OF HOMES WE ADDRESSED.

UM, BUT WE STOPPED GOING OUT AT NIGHT, UH, WITH OUR , UH, LIGHT ON.

I UNDERSTAND WE, WE CAUGHT A LITTLE BIT OF A WR OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD GOING OVER OVERBOARD, BUT IF SOMEONE TELLS US THAT THEIR NEIGHBOR IS REGULARLY, UH, PUTTING TRASH OUT, UM, WE'LL, WE'LL ADDRESS IT.

BUT MOST OF THE TIME WE'LL GET TOLD THAT WHEN THE RACCOONS AND STUFF GET INTO IT AND THEY, AND THEY TELL US THAT, HEY, MY NEIGHBOR'S PUTTING THEIR TRASH OUT AND WE'LL TRY TO ADDRESS IT THEN.

THAT'S ALL.

SO WE, WE WORK OFF A NOTIFICATION BY NUMBERS.

THAT ALL, NO SIR.

BAKER, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING MR. BAKER? NO, SIR.

THE ONLY THING I HAVE IS, IS THAT, UH, I WASN'T AWARE OF THIS ACTUALLY, AND, UH, UNTIL, UH, MS. SETH ACTUALLY, UH, CALLED ME AND ASKED ME ABOUT IT.

AND IS THAT IS, UH, UH, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE FOR OUR NEXT AGENDA TO, UH, PUT, UH, FOR DISCUSSION OF ADDING, UH, VETERAN'S DAY TO, UH, CITY HOLIDAY.

I DID NOT REALIZE THAT WE DID NOT HAVE VETERAN'S DAY TO CITY HOLIDAY.

SO WE HAVE THAT DISCUSSION.

WHAT YOU SAYING HAVE A BETTER DAY OFF? YES.

CLOSE CITY HALL.
