Sep 16, 2021 City Council Regular Meeting

TODAY IS THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16TH, 2021.

AND THE TIME IS 6:00 PM.

AND THIS IS THE BRIEFING WORKSHOP AT OLEANDER CITY.

COUNCIL QUORUM IS PRESENT IN THE CITY.

COUNCIL IS ELIGIBLE TO DO BUSINESS

[2. Roll Call.]

CITY.

SECRETARY CRABTREE, WILL YOU PLEASE CALL ROLL COUNCIL MEMBER CATHERINE BATTALION PARKER HERE.

COUNCIL MEMBER ASKED ME, MATTHEW LYNN, GLORIA HERE.

COUNCIL MEMBER, JASON SHAW COUNCIL MEMBER, NICOLE THOMPSON, PRESIDENT COUNCILMAN DISCERNING HERE, MAYOR PROTEAN, BECKY ROSS HERE, MAYOR CHRISTINE SAID OF COURSE, HERE I AM.

THREE HAS BEEN PULLED FROM THE AGENDA ITEM FOUR

[4. Receive presentation from K. Friese & Associates, Inc. of the draft Leander Floodplain Model and Map Updates - Upper Brushy Creek Watershed Study.]

RECEIVED PRESENTATION FROM K FREES AND ASSOCIATES INC OF THE DRAFT OF LEANDER FLOODPLAIN MODEL AND MAP UPDATES, UPPER BRUSHY CREEK WATERSHED STUDY.

LAST YEAR, WE DID AN RFQ TO SOLICIT A FARM, TO LOOK AT THE FLOODPLAIN MODELS WE HAD EXISTING FOR THE UPPER BRUSHY CREEK DRAINAGE AREA SELECTED K FRIESE AND OCTOBER AND RUTH HABERMAN.

HERE'S THE PROJECT MANAGERS.

SHE'S HERE TO PRESENT THE RESULTS.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNCIL.

UH, MY NAME IS RUTH HABERMAN.

I AM THE PROJECT MANAGER FOR K FREES AND ASSOCIATES.

I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO ALEXIS WOLFENDEN.

SHE WAS THE TECHNICAL OVERSIGHT FOR THIS PROJECT AND I BROUGHT HER HERE IN CASE Y'ALL DECIDED TO THROW A REALLY HARD TECHNICAL QUESTION FOR ME.

SO SHE'S MY BACKUP.

UM, UM, WE'RE REALLY PLEASED TO BE HERE, TO PRESENT AN OVERVIEW OF THIS PROJECT AND THE RESULTS, UM, OF THIS, UH, FLOODPLAIN MODEL AND MAPPING UPDATES FOR THE CITY OF LEANDER FOR UPPER BRUSHY CREEK WATERSHED.

SO, UH, JUST A PREVIEW OF WHAT I'M GOING TO BE PRESENTING TO YOU TODAY.

UM, I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A BRIEF TIMELINE THAT GIVES YOU SOME MILESTONES OF, UH, THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN THE LANDER AREA RELATED TO FLOODPLAIN.

UM, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT ATLAS 14.

YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH THAT TOPIC, UM, BUT I'M GOING TO PROVIDE A BRIEF REFRESHER FOR YOU.

UM, I'LL GO OVER THE, UM, THE ADJUSTMENTS, THE MODIFICATIONS THAT WE'VE MADE TO THE EFFECTIVE MODELS, THE FLOOD PLAIN MODELS, UH, WE'LL GO OVER THE RESULTS OF THOSE CHANGES.

AND THEN FINALLY, WE'LL TALK ABOUT NEXT STEPS FOR THE CITY.

SO WE'LL TALK MORE IN DETAIL ABOUT THESE MILESTONES AS WE GET DEEPER INTO THIS DISCUSSION, BUT JUST TO GIVE YOU A, UH, AN IDEA OF THE, UM, THE TIMING OF SOME OF THESE EVENTS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE, UH, I WANT TO SHOW YOU THIS TIMELINE.

SO IN JUNE OR JULY OF 2016, THE UPPER BRUSHY CREEK WATER CONTROL AND IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT COMPLETED THEIR UPPER BRUSHY CREEK WATERSHED STUDY.

UM, IN 2018, NOAH PUBLISHED THE ATLAS 14 REPORT.

AGAIN, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THESE MORE IN DETAIL IN DECEMBER OF 2019 FEMA, THE FEMA MAPS THAT WERE DEVELOPED BASED ON THE UPPER BRUSHY CREEK WATERSHED STUDY FINALLY BECAME EFFECTIVE IN JUNE OF 2020.

THE CITY OF LEANDER ADOPTED THE ALICE 14 RAINFALL DATA FOR REGULATORY PURPOSES.

AND IN OCTOBER OF 2020, AS ROSS MENTIONED, THE CITY HIRED K FREES AND ASSOCIATES TO UPDATE THESE FLOOD PLAIN MODELS AND MAPS BASED ON THE ATLAS 14 DATA AND A RECENT DEVELOPMENT THAT'S OCCURRED IN THE AREA AND JANUARY OF 2021 WILLIAMSON COUNTY RECEIVED GRANT FUNDING TO PERFORM A COUNTYWIDE FLOOD PLAIN MODEL UPDATE TO INCORPORATE ATLAS 14 DATA.

SO WHAT IS ATLAS 14? IT WAS A NATIONWIDE STUDY PERFORMED BY THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION OR NOAA.

IT WAS RELEASED IN 2018.

IT'S A STUDY OF RAINFALL, INTENSITIES AND DEPTHS, UM, FOR THE ENTIRE NATION, THE RAINFALL DATA OR THE DATA THAT WAS, UM, THAT RESULTED FROM THIS STUDY SHOWED THAT, UH, RAINFALL INCREASED IN TEXAS, UH, ESPECIALLY WITHIN THE CENTRAL TEXAS AREA IN EAST TEXAS.

UM, LOCAL GOVERNMENTS HAVE BEEN UPDATING THEIR REGULATIONS, UH, AROUND THE EFFECTED AREAS TO INCORPORATE THIS NEW DATA AND THE RISKS THAT IT REPRESENTS.

SO IN LEANDER, TO GIVE YOU A CONCEPT OF HOW MUCH THIS CHANGES, UM, THE RAINFALL DEPTHS THAT WE UNDERSTAND TODAY, THE 100 YEAR 24 HOUR RAINFALL DEPTHS THAT ARE ESTIMATED BEFORE ATLAS 14 WAS 10.2 INCHES AFTER ATLAS 14, THAT VALUE INCREASES

[00:05:01]

TO 11.5 INCHES PER THE NOAH STUDY AND AS ADOPTED BY THE CITY IN 2020.

SO LANDER'S NOT ALONE IN THIS EFFORT, ALL THE COMMUNITIES, UM, THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THIS HAVE BEEN MOVING TOWARDS ADOPTING THIS ALICE 14 DATA AND ALL THE ENTITIES, THE AGENCIES AND COMMUNITIES THAT YOU SEE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS SLIDE HAVE ALREADY ADOPTED THE, UH, THE ATLAS 14 DATA AND, UM, ADDITIONAL COMMUNITIES HAVE ALSO ADOPTED THEM FOR REGULATORY PURPOSES.

SO THE QUESTION IS WHY WOULD LEANDRA MOVE FORWARD WITH UPDATING THESE MODELS AND MAPS, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE COUNTY IS PERFORMING A COUNTY-WIDE UPDATE.

SO FIRST OF ALL, THE FEMA EFFECTIVE MODELS ARE CRITICALLY OUTDATED TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF HOW CRITICALLY OUTDATED THE STUDY THAT IT WAS BASED ON WAS COMPLETED IN 2016, BUT IT WAS INITIATED IN 2011 AND IT WAS BASED ON LAND COVER DATA FROM 2012.

AND SO THE MODELS DON'T REFLECT DEVELOPMENT THAT'S HAPPENED BETWEEN 2012 AND TODAY THAT'S A WHILE, AND THERE'S A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT THAT'S HAPPENING IN THE CITY OF LANDER.

THE OTHER ISSUE ABOUT THE EFFECTIVE STUDY WAS THAT THE RAINFALL DATA THAT THEY USED FOR THAT STUDY WAS FROM A PUBLISHED REPORT FROM 2004.

SO THE RAINFALL DEPTHS THAT WERE USED FOR THAT STUDY WERE EVEN LESS THAN THE PRE ALICE 14 RAINFALL DATA.

SO ADDITIONALLY, THE COUNTY-WIDE STUDY IS JUST STARTING.

THE COUNTIES HIRED A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT ENGINEERING FIRMS THAT ARE WORKING TOGETHER RIGHT NOW TO DEVELOP THE STANDARDS FOR HOW TO DEVELOP THESE MODELS.

SO THEY'RE YEARS AWAY FROM BEING COMPLETE AND IT'S FIVE YEARS, AT LEAST PROBABLY A GOOD DEAL LONGER BEFORE THERE ARE NEW FEMA FLOODPLAIN MAPS FOR WILLIAMSON COUNTY.

SO TO DO AN UPDATE FOR THE CITY OF LEANDER, IT GIVES YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO FOCUS ON LANDERS NEEDS.

IT'S A LUXURY THAT YOU DON'T GET WHEN YOU DO A, A WIDESPREAD OR A LARGE AREA STUDY THAT HAS A LOT OF DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDERS.

EACH STAKEHOLDER HAS TO MAKE CONCESSIONS WHEN YOU'RE DOING A BROAD STUDY LIKE THAT, LIKE THE UPPER BRUSHY CREEK STUDY, OR EVEN MORE, UH, A COUNTY WIDE STUDY.

SO THIS GIVES YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO FOCUS IN, ON THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, LANDER HAS GOING ON.

YOU'VE GOT SO MUCH DEVELOPMENT, THERE'S NO SIGN OF THAT SLOWING DOWN.

SO YOU WANT TO FOCUS ON THE IMPERVIOUS COVER.

WE WERE ABLE TO USE CURRENT IMPERVIOUS COVER TO SEE, UM, HOW THAT IMPACTS DEVELOP, UH, THE RAINFALL AND TO LOOK AT THOSE AREAS THAT ARE DEVELOPING SO RAPIDLY.

SO BY PERFORMING YOUR OWN MODEL UPDATES, IT ALSO ALLOWS CONSISTENCY FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT PLANNING.

SO BY HAVING YOUR OWN MODEL RIGHT NOW, CITY STAFF HAS TO TAKE MODELS THAT ARE DEVELOPED BY THE DEVELOPERS AND THEY HAVE TO REVIEW EACH MODEL AS IT COMES IN.

THERE'S NO CONSISTENCY BY CREATING YOUR OWN UPDATED MODEL THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE TO THE DEVELOPERS.

IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR THE DEVELOPERS AND IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR CITY STAFF TO REVIEW THOSE MODELS, THOSE UPDATES.

IT ALSO PROVIDES A CLEARER DEPICTION OF FLOOD RISK IN THE COMMUNITY.

SO IT'S A TOOL THAT EMERGENCY RESPONDERS CAN USE TO SEE WHERE THAT FLOOD RISK IS.

AND, UH, THEY'RE ABLE THEN TO PROVIDE MORE EFFECTIVE PUBLIC SAFETY.

SO IN SUMMARY, IT ALLOWS YOU TO BE AWARE TO BE PREPARED AND TO PLAN ACCORDINGLY.

SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THE PROJECT SPECIFICS.

WE ADDED SIX NEW CROSSINGS BRIDGES OR CULVERTS THAT HAD BEEN ADDED SINCE THE EFFECT OF MODELS WERE RELEASED.

FREEZE STARTED WITH THE EFFECTIVE MODELS.

WE DIDN'T START FROM SCRATCH.

UM, THE MODEL INCORPORATES BRUSHY CREEK AND BLOCK HOUSE CREEK TO THE POINT WHERE THOSE TWO CREEKS CONVERGE, IT'S JUST SOUTH OF LEANDER IN CEDAR PARK.

WE INCORPORATED ALL OF THE CONTRIBUTING AREAS.

WE DIDN'T CUT IT OFF AT THE JURISDICTIONAL BOUNDARY BECAUSE DRAINAGE DOESN'T ACKNOWLEDGED JURISDICTIONAL BOUNDARIES.

SO SOME OF THE STUDY DOES BLEED INTO CEDAR PARK, ONLY ITS SPECIFIC ADJUSTMENTS WERE MADE AS REQUESTED BY THE CITY.

SO WE INCLUDED AS 14 RAINFALL DATA.

WE INCLUDED A 2020 IMPERVIOUS COVER FOR EXISTING CONDITIONS MODELING.

WE INCLUDED FUTURE LAND USE MAPS THAT WERE DEVELOPED FOR THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK.

I MEAN, SORRY FOR LEANDER AND CEDAR PARK.

UM,

[00:10:01]

WE INCORPORATED FOUR LETTERS OF MAP REVISION THAT WERE SUBMITTED TO FEMA, BUT HAVE NOT YET BEEN INCORPORATED IN TO THE EFFECTIVE MODELS.

AND FINALLY WE USE 2017 LIDAR TERRAIN, WHICH, UH, ALLOWED FOR THE FLOODPLAIN MAPPING THE BOUNDARY DELINEATION.

SO THERE WILL STILL BE ADDITIONAL MODIFICATIONS THAT ARE NEEDED TO THE MODELS BEFORE THEY'RE READY TO SUBMIT TO FEMA.

IF THE CITY DECIDES TO DO THAT, UM, FOR ONE THING, THE 2017 LIDAR TERRAIN ACTUALLY DOESN'T CAPTURE SOME OF THE MOST RECENT DEVELOPMENT.

THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL SURVEY DATA THAT NEEDS THAT'S NEEDED FOR UPDATING CROSS SECTIONS.

UM, THERE ARE SOME ADJUSTMENTS THAT MAY NEED TO HAPPEN TO MAKE THIS MODEL MERGE IN THE FUTURE WITH WILLIAMSON COUNTY'S MODELS.

AND, UH, THERE WILL BE SOME ADDITIONAL, UH, PROFILES AND DATA PRODUCTS THAT FEMA REQUIRES FOR, FOR A FORMAL SUBMITTAL THAT WOULD NEED TO BE PREPARED.

SO LET'S TALK ABOUT MODEL RESULTS WHEN YOU ARE PERFORMING MODELING.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO DO BEFORE YOU EVEN START IS TO TAKE A STEP BACK AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOUR EXPECTATIONS ARE FOR THE RESULTS.

SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, THE MOST OBVIOUS EXPECTATION FOR INCREASED RAINFALL, IT'S INCREASED RUNOFF ACROSS THE WATERSHED AND INTO THE STREAMS. A LESS OBVIOUS EXPECTATION IS INCREASES IN FLOW FROM DISCHARGES, FROM FLOOD CONTROL.

SO YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH THE UPPER BRUSHY CREEK.

WCID, THEY'RE AN ENTITY THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR 22 DAMS WITHIN THE UPPER BRUSHY CREEK WATERSHED FROM LEANDER ALL THE WAY TO HADOW.

AND FOUR OF THOSE DAMS ARE WITHIN LANDERS JURISDICTIONAL AREA.

AND THOSE DAMS WERE DESIGNED IN THE 1950S AND THEY WERE DESIGNED TO CONTAIN THE 100 YEAR EVENT AS THEY UNDERSTOOD IT AT THAT TIME.

BUT NOW AT THE INCREASES IN RAINFALL, THOSE DAMS ARE NOT ABLE TO CONTAIN THAT A HUNDRED YEAR FLOW.

AND THAT FLOW GOES THROUGH.

LET ME SEE.

SO THE AUXILIARY SPILLWAY IS RIGHT HERE AND THESE DAMS ARE DESIGNED.

THEY DON'T HAVE GATES TO OPEN AND ALLOW FLOWS TO GO, BUT ONCE IT GETS TO A CERTAIN LEVEL, THAT FLOW GOES THROUGH THE SPILLWAY AND DOWNSTREAM.

AND SO THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FLOW THAT COMES THROUGH.

THAT'S NOT CURRENT THAT WE DON'T SEE UNLESS THESE LARGER EVENTS ARE TAKING PLACE.

SO ANOTHER REASON WE EXPECT CHANGES IN RUNOFF IN A WATERSHED IS INCREASED DEVELOPMENT.

SO YOU CAN DRIVE THROUGH THE CITY OF LEANDER AND SEE NEW DEVELOPMENT EVERYWHERE YOU GO.

BUT THOSE TAKE A LOOK AT THIS ONE SPOT.

THIS IS 1 8, 180 3, A HERO WAY.

IS THAT A CURRENT AERIAL IMAGERY? SO YOU CAN SEE WHERE LAND HAS BEEN DISTURBED FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT.

AS DEVELOPMENT OCCURS, MORE PAVEMENT IS ADDED LESS NATURAL EARTH AND VEGETATION IS AVAILABLE TO ABSORB THAT RUNOFF.

THIS LEAVES MORE RUNOFF TO REACH THE STREAMS CAUSES RISES IN WATER SURFACE ELEVATIONS.

SO THE CUMULATIVE IMPACTS RESULTS FROM THE INCREMENTAL EFFECTS OF PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE CHANGES IN LAND USE.

SO AFTER COMPLETING THE MODEL UPDATES, WE FOUND THAT THE AVERAGE FLOW INCREASES THROUGHOUT THE WATERSHED IS ABOUT 60%.

SO THE INCREASE, THE RUNOFF AMOUNT IS 60% MORE THAN WE HAD MODELED IN THE EFFECTIVE MODELS.

APPROXIMATELY 80% OF THAT, ABOUT 80% OF THE INCREASE IS DUE TO THE ATLAS.

14 RAINFALL CHANGES.

THE REMAINING INCREASE IS BECAUSE OF THE ADDED DEVELOPMENT AND THOSE MINOR TWEAKS THAT WERE MADE TO THE MODEL.

SO THE GREATEST MAJORITY IS DUE TO THE ATLAS 14 RENT RUNOFF RAINFALL.

SO THERE'S SPECIFIC LOCATIONS WHERE THE INCREASES ARE GREATER.

AS I MENTIONED, DOWNSTREAM OF THESE FLOOD CONTROL DAMS, UH, THERE IS MORE THAN

[00:15:01]

THE 60% RUNOFF INCREASES, BUT THAT'S BECAUSE OF THAT ADDITIONAL FLOW THAT'S COMING THROUGH THE AUXILIARY SPILLWAYS.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE EXTENT OF CHANGE IN FLOW IS NOT A DIRECT INDICATOR OF THE CHANGE IN FLOODPLAIN WIDTH.

WE, WE TAKE THE, THE UPDATES TO THE MODELS AND WE APPLY THAT TO UPDATED, TO REIGN.

SO YOU CAN'T JUST SAY THE INCREASE IS GOING TO BE 60% TO THE FLOODPLAIN BOUNDARY BECAUSE IT'S GOING ON TO TERRAIN AND THAT TERRAIN DICTATES WHERE THE WATER GOES.

SO THE INCREASES AREN'T AS HUGE AS YOU WOULD THINK.

WE'LL LOOK AT THOSE.

UH, I'LL GIVE YOU SPECIFICS, BUT TO KIND OF GIVE YOU AN INDICATION, THE CITY OF AUSTIN USES THE 500 YEAR FLOOD, PLAIN AS A PROXY FOR THE 100 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN.

SO BASICALLY WHAT THEY'RE SAYING IS INSTEAD OF REGULATING TO THE 100 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN, THEY REGULATE TO THE 500 YEAR, AND THAT SHOULD ACCOMMODATE FOR THE INCREASES DUE TO ATLAS 14.

SO AFTER WE COMPLETED THIS MODEL UPDATES, WE FOUND THAT THE CITY OF LANDER HAS ABOUT THAT TYPE OF CHANGE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF JUST DOWNSTREAM OF THESE DAMS, WHERE THE, THE INCREASES IS SLIGHTLY MORE.

AND THERE ARE SOME AREAS THAT HAVE A GREATER CHANGE THAN 500, AND THERE'S SOME, SOME AREAS THAT ARE LESS OF A CHANGE.

SO LET'S LOOK AT SOME EXAMPLES.

THIS IS A COMPARISON MAP THAT SHOWS THE INCREASES AND DECREASES OF FLOODPLAIN BOUNDARY FROM THE EFFECTIVE FLOODPLAIN.

SO WHAT YOU SEE IN PURPLE IS THE CURRENT EFFECTIVE FLOODPLAIN BOUNDARY.

THAT'S WHAT WE SEE.

IF WE LOOK AT THE FEMA MAPS, THE PINK OR ORANGE IS THE INCREASE IN FLOOD PLAIN.

AND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS THE 100 YEAR EXISTING CONDITIONS.

WHAT YOU SEE IN GREEN, THERE'S A FEW AREAS IS DECREASE.

AND THAT'S BASICALLY USUALLY BECAUSE OF IMPROVED TOPOGRAPHY THAT WE HAVE OR TERRAIN.

SO THESE ARE DECREASED A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE WE KNOW WHAT THE TRAIN LOOKS LIKE, BUT FOR THE MOST PART YOU SEE INCREASES.

SO THIS IS A GOOD INDICATOR OF WHAT I WAS EXPLAINING WITH THE SPILLWAY.

SO THIS IS THE DAM AT ITS DIVINE LAKE, RIGHT AT BAGHDAD, JUST SOUTH OF SAN GABRIEL PARKWAY.

SO YOU CAN SEE THE FLOW, THE FLOODPLAIN INCREASING UPSTREAM OF THE DAM AS RAINFALL INCREASES, THAT LAKE FILLS UP MORE AND IT COVERS MORE AREA UPSTREAM OF THE DAM DOWNSTREAM OF THE DAM.

YOU CAN SEE THIS IS THE AUXILIARY SPILLWAY.

SO YOU DON'T SEE THE PURPLE AREA HERE BECAUSE THAT SPILLWAY DOESN'T ENGAGE IN WHAT IS UNDERSTOOD TO BE THE A HUNDRED YEAR FLOWS AND THE EFFECTIVE MODELS WITH THE UPDATED MODELS.

YOU DO SEE FLOW GOING THROUGH THAT SPILLWAY, AND YOU CAN SEE THE EFFECTS DOWNSTREAM OF THAT INCREASE.

SO WE MODELED THE EXISTING CONDITIONS.

WE ALSO MODELED THE ULTIMATE CONDITIONS OR THE FULLY DEVELOPED CONDITIONS.

SO YOU CAN SEE THIS AREA HERE, JUST DOWNSTREAM.

IF I MOVE, SORRY, IF I GO BACK, THIS IS THE EXISTING CONDITION.

SO THIS IS THE INCREASES DUE TO THE RAINFALL, THE ULTIMATE CONDITIONS.

THIS HAS INCREASED DUE TO DEVELOPMENT UPSTREAM OF THE DAM.

SO LET'S TAKE A DEEPER DIVE.

SO IF WE LOOK AT THE LEFT, THIS IS THE FEMA EFFECTIVE FLOODPLAIN.

SO WHAT YOU SEE IN BLUE IS THE EXISTING 100 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN.

AGAIN, WHAT YOU WOULD LOOK AT, IF YOU, IF YOU LOOKED AT THE FEMA FLOODPLAIN MAPS, THE ORANGE IS THE EXISTING 500 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN.

SO LOOKING AT THE RIGHT, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE UPDATED FLOODPLAIN EXISTING CONDITIONS 100 YEAR, AND YOU CAN SEE THIS 100 YEAR FLOOD.

PLAIN IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE 500 YEAR FLOOD, PLAIN IN THE FEMA MAPS, YOU CAN EVEN LOOK DOWNSTREAM AND IT'S A LITTLE MORE WIDESPREAD COVERAGE THAN THE 500 YEAR IN THE FEMA MAPS.

SO TAKING A LOOK AT THE ULTIMATE 100 YEAR, YOU CAN SEE HOW THAT INCREASES THE BEIGE COLOR.

THIS IS THE 500 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN, AND THIS IS THE 500 YEAR FULLY DEVELOPED FLOODPLAIN.

[00:20:01]

SO THIS GIVES YOU AN INDICATION OF THE CHANGE BETWEEN THE FEMA MAPS AND THESE UPDATED MAPS.

SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER, THIS IS NOT REGULATORY AT THIS POINT.

IT'S NOT REGULATORY ON THE LOCAL LEVEL UNTIL THE CITY CHOOSES TO ADOPT THIS AS YOUR BEST AVAILABLE DATA.

IT'S NOT REGULATORY ON THE FEDERAL LEVEL UNTIL THE CITY CHOOSES TO SUBMIT THIS TO FEMA.

AND IT'S ADOPTED BY FEMA.

THIS POINT, IT'S JUST AN UPDATED MODEL.

SO YOU CAN, YOU CAN GUESS THAT WITH INCREASES IN FLOODPLAIN, THERE'S GOING TO BE INCREASES IN STRUCTURES THAT ARE AFFECTED BY FLOOD PLAIN.

SO WHAT WE DID K FREEZE DID A QUICK ESTIMATE OF WHAT WE WOULD EX WHAT WE WOULD SEE.

UM, WE USED, UH, OF A LAYER THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE CITY OF AUSTIN.

IT'S 2019 BUILDING FOOTPRINTS IN THIS AREA.

SO WE WERE ABLE TO OVERLAY THE BUILDING FOOTPRINTS OVER EXISTING FLOOD, PLAIN, AND THE UPDATED FLOOD PLAIN.

AND WE LOOKED ONLY AT THE FOOTPRINT.

WE WEREN'T LOOKING AT ELEVATION.

SO THIS IS JUST A VERY RUDIMENTARY LOOK AT WHAT THE, WHAT THE IMPACT IS OF THIS CHANGE.

SO BASED ON THAT, WE FOUND BUILDINGS THAT ARE FULLY WITHIN THE FLOOD, PLAIN, OR JUST TOUCHING THE FLOOD PLAIN CURRENTLY IN THE EFFECTIVE 100 YEAR FLOOD, PLAIN, THERE'S APPROXIMATELY 50 BUILDINGS THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN THE FLOOD PLAIN OR TOUCHING THE FLOOD PLAIN.

AGAIN, IT'S NOT BASED ON ELEVATION, SO THEY MAY BE ELEVATED.

IT'S JUST A HORIZONTAL LOOK AND EVERYTHING WITH THE UPDATED MAPS IN THE A HUNDRED YEAR UPDATED FLOOD PLAIN, THERE'S APPROXIMATELY 160 BUILDINGS STRUCTURES OF SOME TYPE THAT TOUCH OR ARE WITHIN THE UPDATED FLOOD PLAIN.

SO JUST A NOTE BEFORE THE CITY, IF YOU CHOOSE TO SUBMIT THIS TO FEMA, THERE MAY BE BUILDINGS THAT YOU CAN IDENTIFY RIGHT OFF THE BAT THAT ARE ELEVATED AND NOT AFFECTED BY FLOODPLAIN.

SO IT'S BY, BY SUBMITTING IT, YOU'RE NOT AUTOMATICALLY PUTTING A BUILDING IN THE FLOOD PLAIN, RIGHT? SO THERE'S WAYS TO INVESTIGATE AND TO MAKE SURE WHAT IS ACTUALLY WITHIN, BUT I WANT TO GIVE YOU SOME EXAMPLES.

SO BACK TO THE COMPARISON, MATT, WHAT YOU SEE IN PURPLE AGAIN, IS THE FEMA AFFECTIVE FLOOD, PLAIN.

WHAT YOU SEE IN ORANGE OR PINK IS THE UPDATED FLOOD.

PLAIN, THE BLACK STRUCTURES SHAPES HERE ARE BUILDINGS THAT ARE WITHIN OR TOUCHING EXISTING FLOOD PLAIN.

SO THESE ARE RIGHT NOW, CURRENTLY IN FLOODPLAIN OR TOUCHING THE FLOOD, PLAIN, THE BUILDINGS IN YELLOW ARE TOUCHING OR WITHIN THE UPDATED FLOOD PLAIN.

SO YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE AREAS HERE THAT HOMES ARE NOT IN THE FLOODPLAIN, BUT WITH THIS UPDATED MODEL, IT SHOWS THAT THEY ARE IN A FLOOD RISK AREA.

AND BASICALLY AT THIS POINT, THEY'RE NOT AWARE.

SO THESE MAPS ALLOW PEOPLE TO BE AWARE THAT THERE MAY BE A NEED TO, UM, YOU KNOW, GET FLOOD INSURANCE OR, OR TAKE PRECAUTIONS.

AND A FEMA MODEL BY SUBMITTING IT.

SO OUR RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY IS THAT YOU CONSIDER ADOPTING THESE MODELS AND MAPS AS YOUR BEST AVAILABLE DATA, UM, FOR REGULATORY PURPOSES TO USE IT FOR DEVELOPMENT PLANNING, AND FOR PERMITTING.

THIS ALLOWS POLICY TO BE APPLIED MORE EFFICIENTLY, MORE CONSISTENTLY.

IT WOULD ALLOW THE CITY TO SHARE THESE MODELS WITH DEVELOPERS AND IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR THE DEVELOPERS.

IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR STAFF REVIEWERS.

UM, WE RECOMMEND THAT THE CITY UPDATE THESE MODELS SYSTEMATICALLY ALREADY, SINCE THIS PROJECT WAS INITIATED, THERE'S A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT THAT'S HAPPENED EVEN THEN.

AND SO TO KEEP THESE MODELS UPDATED, WE'LL KEEP THE DATA CURRENT AND KEEP YOU WELL-INFORMED.

UH, WE RECOMMEND THAT THE CITY CONSIDER UPDATING THESE MODELS AND PREPARE THEM FOR FAMOUS SUBMISSION.

AND THEN THE NEXT STEP COULD BE TO SUBMIT THEM TO FEMA.

THERE ARE SOME ADVANTAGES IN DOING THAT.

UH, IT ALLOWS FOR CHANGES TO THE FEMA MAPS.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT SUBMITTED, THEN A DEVELOPER HAS TO USE MORE THAN ONE MODEL, YOUR BEST AVAILABLE,

[00:25:01]

THEN IT BECOMES ONE MODEL AND IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR THE PROCESS.

IT ALSO PUTS THE BURDEN OF REGULATION ON FEMA RATHER THAN ON THE SIDNEY.

SO BASICALLY THAT'S THE INFORMATION THAT I HAVE, AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TAKE QUESTIONS AND ANSWER ANYTHING THAT YOU MAY WANT TO ASK OR SEND IT TO ALEXIS COUNSEL.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I DO? AND THIS IS PROBABLY MORE OF A CLARIFICATION, CAUSE I'M SURE YOU COVERED IT.

UH, SO THIS IS EVERYTHING IN THE ETJ, NOT JUST THE CITY LIMITS.

YES.

SO IN THE EVENT AND THIS WHERE'S ROBIN ROBINS, NOT THERE, ROBIN'S ALWAYS THERE.

UM, SO IN THE EVENT WE HAVE A PROPERTY THAT IS, UM, IN THE ETJ WHERE THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT IS ANNEXED, THIS WOULD SUPERSEDE ANY OF THE FLOOD PLAIN THAT WAS SHOWN BY THE COUNTY.

THIS WOULD OVERRIDE THE COUNTY, CORRECT.

OR YOU DON'T KNOW THAT THAT WAY IT WOULD BE A DECISION THAT THE CITY HAS TO MAKE.

AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU DEVELOP YOUR POLICY, YOU NEED TO BE REALLY CLEAR ABOUT HOW YOU'RE GOING TO USE THESE MODELS AND MAPS, AND YOU CAN BE VERY SPECIFIC IN YOUR POLICY, HOW YOU WENT UP.

SO WE'RE NOT TIED TO ANYTHING JUST BY ADOPTING THIS.

SO THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD WAS, UM, THE, THE HOMES THAT YOU INDICATED THERE THAT WERE NOT PREVIOUSLY IN THE FLOODPLAIN OR TOUCHING THAT ARE NOW, UM, IS THERE SOME SORT OF A REQUIREMENT TIED TO THIS THAT YOU'RE AWARE OF OR THAT YOU'RE, THAT, UM, THAT WE NEED TO NOTIFY THE HOMEOWNERS OR IS THAT, UM, IS THAT UP TO THE HOMEOWNERS? AYE.

I, TO ME IT'S, IF YOU ADOPT THIS, I FEEL LIKE IT IS, UM, IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO SHARE THE INFORMATION WITH THE RESIDENTS SO THAT THEY CAN BE AWARE AND BE PREPARED BECAUSE, UM, BEFORE THEY BECOME EFFECTIVE, THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE FLOOD INSURANCE RIGHT BEFORE IT'S ACTUALLY IN THE FLOODPLAINS MUCH CHEAPER.

AND SO THEY, THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO STEP IN AT A LOWER LEVEL BEFORE IT THEN BECOMES AN EFFECTIVE FLOODPLAIN.

BECAUSE WHAT WILL HAPPEN, WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS IF, IF THEY DON'T KNOW, AND THEN IT GETS PUT INTO A FLOOD FLOODPLAIN AND THEN THE, THE LENDER FINDS OUT ABOUT IT, THEN IT'S GOING TO BE MANDATORY THAT THEY PUT IT IN.

IT'S GOING TO BE WHATEVER MARKET RATE IS.

AND IT'S USUALLY PRETTY EXPENSIVE.

SO THE TIME IN BETWEEN THE TIME IT'S YOUR BEST AVAILABLE DATA AND THE TIME IT BECOMES FEMA AFFECTIVE, THAT'S YOUR TIME TO, TO SHARE WITH THE PUBLIC AND, AND PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION.

I THINK IT'S, IT'S USEFUL.

AND FLOOD INSURANCE IS FIXED AND INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY.

AND IT'S NOT REALLY EXPENSIVE.

IT'S NOT CAUSE IT'S, IT'S HIGHLY GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZED, BUT THOSE SUBSIDIES ARE GOING AWAY.

AND IN THE NEXT 30 DAYS, THERE'S LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SEE THEIR FLOOD INSURANCE, DOUBLE AND TRIPLE COUNSEL, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION.

TH THERE WAS ONE OTHER CLARIFICATION I HAD.

AND I, AND I THINK YOU COVERED THIS TO YOU.

I BELIEVE YOU SAID THAT REALLY THE, THE, THE BIGGEST CHANGES WHERE THERE WERE MORE AREAS OF FLOODPLAIN, NOT NECESSARILY WIDER IN A FEW INSTANCES, IT WAS NOT A DRAMATIC CHANGE.

IT WAS JUST MORE AREAS THAT WERE IN THE FLOOD, PLAIN, THAT PREVIOUSLY WERE NOT, WELL, THEY IT'S STILL BASICALLY GOES FROM THE A HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD PLAIN TO THE 500.

SO IT DOES GET WIDER PRETTY MUCH EVERYWHERE.

UM, IT WAS NOT DRAMATIC.

THAT'S WHAT I, AND THEN I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE PACKAGING.

THEN WE WOULD EXPECT, BECAUSE AS THE CITY SAW, THEY WERE ABLE TO USE THE 500 YEAR IN LIEU OF THE 100 YEAR, THIS RESULT, WHICH IS ATLAS 14, PLUS THE ADDED DEVELOPMENT DIDN'T INCREASE MUCH MORE THAN THAT.

SO IT INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY, BUT IT DIDN'T INCREASE.

IT DIDN'T INCREASE MORE THAN WOULD BE EXPECTED WITH THESE ADDED FLOWS.

OUR CITY MANAGER HAD SOMETHING TO ADD, UM, IN TERMS OF THE RATING SYSTEM, IS, IS THERE AN ADDED BENEFIT WITH THE JUMP TO MORE ACCURATE MODERN DATA? SO OUR RATING COULD SLIDE EVEN MORE TO THE POSITIVE YES.

FOR THE COMMUNITY IN GENERAL.

INFORMATION, NOT JUST THE ONES WHO CONTACT US DIRECTLY AS IT IS.

GOOD COUNSEL.

IS THERE ANYTHING FURTHER, I GUESS JUST STAFF-WISE OR, I MEAN, HOW, HOW WE GONNA, HOW ARE WE GOING TO RECEIVE INFORMATION ON BEST IS CAN COME FROM ENGINEERING IN GENERAL, RIGHT? WE'RE GOING TO RECOMMEND THAT WE MOVE AHEAD AND SUBMIT THIS TO FEMA TO UPDATE THEIR MAPS.

AND THAT WAY IT'LL BE GENERALLY PUBLIC SO THAT EVERYBODY HAS ACCESS TO THE

[00:30:01]

WE ARE GOING TO PROVIDE THE BEST AVAILABLE DATA.

WE HAVE TO THE DEVELOPERS AS THEY COME IN SO THAT THEY CAN MODEL THEIR AREAS APPROPRIATELY.

BUT WE DO COUNTER A LOT OF OPPOSITION TO THAT.

THEY FEEL THAT THE ONLY THING THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH IS THE FEMA MAPS.

AND THAT IS NOT CORRECT IN THIS CASE.

SO WE WERE GOING TO DO OUR BEST TO GET THE INFORMATION OUT SO THAT EVERYBODY CAN BUILD IN A SAFER AREA.

I MEAN THE 500 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN IS THEORETICALLY SAFER.

BUT AS WE SAW WITH HURRICANE HARVEY, WHEN THEY HAD AN 800 YEAR FLOOD, THERE WAS ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO SAID, YOU KNOW, THE CITY'S FAILED THEM BECAUSE THEY WERE IN A FLOOD ZONE AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW IT, BUT THEY'D NEVER GOTTEN FLOODED BEFORE.

IT'S BECAUSE IT WAS AN UNUSUAL RAIN EVENT.

AND THOSE THINGS HAPPEN A LOT MORE OFTEN THAN WHEN YOU'RE LIKE.

AND PLUS THERE'S THE DEVELOPERS COME IN, THEY CHANGE THE CHANNELS, THEY DO VARIOUS FLOOD PLAIN DEVELOPMENTS.

THEY'LL ENCROACH ON THOSE CHANNELS AND BRING THEM MORE VERTICAL AND, UH, RAISE THE FLOODPLAIN, ELEVATIONS ALL BY DOING THAT.

AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE TRY TO MINIMIZE, BUT THAT DEFINITELY IMPACTS THEIR MODELING.

SO IF WE'RE TAKING A TWO-PRONGED APPROACH, ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID WHEN WE ADOPTED ATLAS 14 IS WE ADOPTED A TWO YEAR FREE BOARD FOR HOUSES BECAUSE OF THE UNCERTAINTY OF WHAT WE WERE DEALING WITH AT THAT POINT.

THIS IS GOING TO INCREASE OUR CERTAINTY WHEN WE MAY BE ABLE TO REDUCE THAT AGAIN, IN THE FUTURE, JUST TO, IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE ABILITY OF THE DEVELOPERS TO PUT IN THE HOMES WITHOUT THE ADDITIONAL EXPENSE, WE DON'T KNOW YET EXACTLY HOW IT'S GOING TO WORK, BUT WE WILL BE RECOMMENDING THAT.

WE GO FORWARD WITH PUTTING THIS INTO THE FEMA MAPS, WHICH IS GOING TO BE A SIGNIFICANT EXPENSE BECAUSE YOU'RE ESTIMATING APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS, GET THIS THROUGH THE FEMA PROCESS.

AS SHE ILLUSTRATED.

IF YOU LEAVE HIM IN TO DO ONE ON THEIR OWN, IT'S GOING TO TAKE THEM EIGHT OR NINE OR 10 YEARS.

AND IF WE GET IT DONE AT TWO, THAT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD, BUT IT'S GOING TO COST A COUPLE HUNDRED, WELL, 350 TO $400,000 FOR THAT EFFORT.

IT'S BUT IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL FOR OUR CITIZENS.

AND SO WE THINK IT'S WORTHWHILE AND WILL WE BE NOTIFYING THE PEOPLE WHOSE HOUSES ARE NOW IN THE FLOODPLAIN BEFORE WE DO THAT, UH, WE WILL BE HAVING PUBLIC HEARINGS OF SOME SORTS.

SO THEY THERE'S, I DON'T KNOW HOW WE WOULD ADDRESS IT TO THEM INDIVIDUALLY.

THAT WOULD BE POSSIBLE IF THERE'S ONLY 160 HOMES, IT'S DEFINITELY POSSIBLE 100.

IT SAID 110 WAS THE DIFFERENCE.

HOW MANY WERE IN THE CITY? UH, I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T GET THAT NUMBER RUTGER.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT THAT I DON'T EVERYBODY TJ, BUT I MEAN, RIGHT.

I DID EXCLUDE THE, THERE WAS A LOT OF THEM IN CEDAR PARK.

AND SO THE INITIAL COUNT WAS INCLUDED THAT AREA JUST SOUTH OF GREENLAND AND CEDAR PARK.

AND SO I TOOK THOSE NUMBERS OUT, BUT I DID NOT GET A NUMBER FOR, FOR JUST THE CITY LIMITS.

I COULD GET IT FOR YOU.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16TH, 2021.

WE CAN DO A DIRECT MAIL TO THOSE INDIVIDUAL HOMEOWNERS.

WE'VE DONE THAT.

WHEN WE WERE DOING A FLOODPLAIN NOTICE FOR THE EAST STREET PROJECT, THERE WAS LIKE 105, I BELIEVE, DIFFERENT RESIDENCES WE SENT LETTERS TO.

AND SO IT GETS THEIR ATTENTION.

PERFECT.

THANK YOU, COUNSEL.

ANYTHING ELSE? ALL RIGHT.

UH, THE BRIEFING WORKSHOP IS ADJOURNED AT 6 34.

WE WILL HAVE OUR MEETING AT SEVEN O'CLOCK.

PLEASE BE IN YOUR SEATS.

[5. Open Meeting, Invocation and Pledges of Allegiance.]

AND THE TIME IS 7:01 PM.

AND THIS IS THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE LEANDER CITY COUNCIL, PASTOR ANDREA MOORE WITH SUMMIT WORSHIP CENTER, WE'LL BE PROVIDING THE INVOCATION, FOLLOWING THE INVOCATION.

PLEASE REMAIN STANDING FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE FATHER.

WE JUST THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS INCREDIBLE GROUP OF SACRIFICIAL MEN AND WOMEN.

WE THANK YOU GOD, FOR ALL THEIR EFFORTS, THEIR HEARTS, THEIR GIFTS, THEIR TALENTS, EVEN FOR ALL, YOU'VE WALKED THEM THROUGH TO BRING US TO THIS MOMENT.

LORD, I PRAY THAT EVEN TONIGHT, YOU'LL GIVE THEM GREATER STRATEGIES AND GREATER WISDOM THROUGH THEIR GIFTINGS AND THAT THIS ROOM WILL BE FILLED WITH PEACE AND LORD, I JUST PRAY GOD, EVEN AS TODAY, AS I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS GREAT GROUP, BUT ALSO THE STRUGGLES AND THE CHALLENGES.

AND AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE MAYOR, GOD, LORD, THIS WATER SHORTAGE, LORD, WE HOLD IT UP BEFORE YOU WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON.

WE HOLD THESE THINGS UP BEFORE YOU, BUT GOD,

[00:35:01]

I JUST TAKE COMFORT.

AND KNOWING THAT IT'S YOUR DESIRE TO BRING US THROUGH ALL THESE CHALLENGES AND TO BLESS OUR CITY.

AND SO GOD, I JUST THANK YOU.

EVEN FOR THIS SCRIPTURE THAT I PRAY OVER THIS MEETING OVER THESE INCREDIBLE PEOPLE THAT HAVE SACRIFICED SO MUCH, THESE WONDERFUL CITY OFFICIALS, GOD, I PRAY OVER OUR CITY AND ALL CONNECTED TO IT.

THAT IT'S YOUR HEART TO BLESS US, THAT YOU SAY IN PSALM 65, VERSES NINE AND 10, THAT IT'S YOU, GOD WHO VISITS THE EARTH AND YOU WATER IT, THAT YOU GREATLY ENRICH IT.

THAT'S THE RIP THAT THE RIVERS OF GOD ARE FULL OF WATER AND THAT YOU PROVIDE AND YOU PROVIDE FOR OUR GRAIN FOR, SO YOU HAVE PREPARED IT.

AND THAT YOU GO ON TO SAND VERSE 10, THAT YOU WATER ITS FURROWS ABUNDANTLY, SETTLING ITS RIDGES SOFTENING.

IT WAS SHOWERS AND BLESSING IT'S GROWTH.

GOD, I THANK YOU THAT THAT'S YOUR HEART'S DESIRE WITHIN ALL THE COMPLEXITIES.

GOD, IT'S YOUR DESIRE TO BLESS US.

SO HAVE YOUR WAY THAT THIS MEETING GO FASTER THAN THEY IMAGINED.

AND JUST EVEN BE MORE ENJOYABLE WHEN OUR GOD, UM, AS THEY GO ON OUR BEHALF, DRAWING IN WHAT YOUR HEARTS DESIRE HAVE YOUR WAY.

AND I'M JUST SO GRATEFUL, GRATEFUL FOR THESE PEOPLE AND FOR WHAT YOU'RE YOU'RE WANTING TO DO IN OUR CITY AND JESUS NAME.

AMEN.

THANK YOU TO THE FLAG.

IT STANDS ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE UNDER GOD.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[9. Exploring Leander History]

ITEM NUMBER NINE, EXPLORING LEANDER HISTORY, HISTORICAL PRESERVATION COMMISSION CHAIR CA HOW GOOD EVENING FOLLOWING HIM IS ALMOST AS BAD AS FOLLOWING MY MOTHER.

UM, OKAY.

SO WE HA AS, AS, UM, COMMANDER FULLER MENTIONED, UM, THIS IS A VERY, VERY ACTIVE WEEK IN THE UNITED STATES HISTORY AND MILITARY HISTORY.

AND BEFORE I GO ON TO POW MIA, HOW DID THAT HAPPEN THERE? UM, THAT IS AN A BY THE, I, UM, I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT 9 11, 9 11, AND OUR GENERATION IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT EVENT THAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE WORLD FOR OUR GENERATION.

IT IS, UM, AND IT WILL BE IN, IN FUTURE.

IT WILL SHOW THAT IT HAS BEEN AS SIGNIFICANT AS WORLD WAR II.

WE DO NOT COMMEMORATE IT VERY MUCH, AND I'M VERY GLAD TO SEE THAT OUR CITY IS STARTING TO DO THAT.

BUT THE, THE REASON WHY I MENTIONED IT IS BECAUSE IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE START COMMEMORATING IT AND START TALKING ABOUT IT AND PRESERVE THE HISTORY OF IT.

49% OF OUR CITIZENS EITHER HAVE VERY LITTLE MEMORY OR NO MEMORY OF THE EVENT BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO YOUNG.

IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO EDUCATE OUR YOUNG PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED THAT DAY, BECAUSE IT HAS SHAPED THEIR LIFE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THEIR LIVES.

IT HAS CHANGED OURS DEEPLY.

SO I JUST WANT TO, THAT'S MY PSA FOR, FOR KEEPING TRACK OF THE HISTORY OF NINE 11, MOVING ON POW MIA THAT DAY IS TOMORROW.

UH, IT BEGAN IN 1979 AND 2,500 VIETNAM, POW MIA FAMILIES DEMANDED ACCOUNTABILITY.

THIS IS A PICTURE OF OUR, UM, POW MIA FLAG OUT AT OUR VETERANS PARK HERE IN LEANDER, UM, BEHIND THE LIBRARY.

AND IT IS, UM, IT'S A VERY NICE MEMORIAL.

UH, IF YOU, IF YOU GET A CHANCE TO GO THERE, UM, IT IS, UM, IT'S NICE TO SIT THERE AND MEDITATE THERE.

UH, IT WAS THE FIRST, AS IT SAYS THERE, THE FIRST COMMEMORATION WAS HELD AT NATIONAL CATHEDRAL.

AND SINCE THEN IT'S BEEN HELD AT THE PENTAGON AND AT LOCAL PLACES ALL AROUND THE COUNTRY AND SOME OUT OF COUNTRY.

THE, AND THESE THREE BROTHERS THAT ARE PICTURED THERE, THEY'RE FROM OAK, UH, EXCUSE ME.

RPO, UH, MITCH GAVE SOME INFORMATION ABOUT OUR PERSON HERE IN LEANDER, OUR ONE MIA.

UM, FORTUNATELY AS TIME HAS GONE ON, WE HAVE FEWER AND FEWER MIAS AND FEWER POW'S.

UM, WE, FORTUNATELY WE HAVE NO POW'S RIGHT NOW, UM, WHICH IS EXCELLENT.

AND, UM, WE ARE CONTINUING TO TRY AND IDENTIFY RPO.

OUR MIAS.

THE MOST RECENT DISCOVERY WAS JUNE 10TH OF THIS YEAR.

AND

[00:50:01]

UH, I BELIEVE IOWA, UH, THEY'RE UM, REMAINS WERE IDENTIFIED THIS YEAR.

THERE'S MULTIPLE SERVICES.

UM, CONTINUING TO DO THAT, UH, ONE THING ABOUT POW'S AND MIAS, IT DOES NOT INCLUDE SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN THAT WERE KILLED IN TRAINING HERE IN THE UNITED STATES OR ABROAD.

THIS IS ONLY ACTIVE, UH, ACTIVE DUTY IN A WAR ZONE.

UM, THERE ARE GROUPS OF PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO FIND THE MIAS THAT WERE KILLED IN TRAINING.

SO THAT IS, UM, THERE IS SOME ACCOUNTABILITY THERE.

UM, MOVING ON, LIKE PLEASE.

SO ON, ON A GREAT SIDE, WE HAVE THE CONSTITUTION AND THAT IS ALSO CONSTITUTION DAY IS ALSO TOMORROW.

UM, THE CONSTITUTION BESIDES THE MAGNA CARTA IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DOCUMENT WRITTEN IN HUMAN HISTORY.

IT HAS, UM, SINCE ITS WRITING, IT HAS AFFECTED ALMOST EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD SINCE THEN.

UM, AND IT, IT DESERVES TO BE COMMEMORATED.

UM, YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE THINGS THERE.

ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING ITEMS ABOUT THAT IS, UM, THE ONE AMENDMENT TOOK 202 YEARS AND 223 DAYS TO RATIFY AND IT HAD TO DO WITH CONGRESSIONAL PAY.

IT WAS INTRODUCED IN 1787 AND WASN'T RATIFIED FOR 202 YEARS.

WE STILL HAVE ONE MORE AMENDMENT THAT WAS INTRODUCED THAT SAME DAY, UH, HAS NOT BEEN RATIFIED.

AND IT IS, UH, ABOUT, UH, BASICALLY, UH, CURRENT, UH, CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS, OUTLAWS, GERRYMANDERING, MAYBE IT'LL PASS SOMEDAY.

UH, AND THEN MOVING ON, UM, YOU CAN SEE THE THINGS THERE.

IT TOOK US A WHILE TO GET TO WHERE WE COMMEMORATE IT.

AND IT WAS PRO PRESIDENT TRUMP THAT ACTUALLY IN A, UM, PRESIDENTIAL ORDER ACTUALLY OFFICIALLY DECLARED THE SEPTEMBER 17TH AS CONSTITUTION DAY AND CITIZENSHIP DAY IN 2017.

THAT'S HOW LONG IT TOOK US TO COMMEMORATE IT, BUT WE'VE DONE IT.

AND THAT'S A REALLY GOOD THING BECAUSE THE CONSTITUTION IS A VERY GOOD THING.

AND, UH, THAT'S ALL I HAVE TODAY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU, COUNCIL MAYOR.

10 RECOGNITIONS PLUS PROCLAMATIONS AND VISITORS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ITEM

[10. Recognitions/Proclamations/Visitors. Constitution Week (September 17-23)]

UM, WE DO HAVE A PROCLAMATION FOR CONSTITUTION WEEK COUNCIL MEMBER PANTALEON PARKER.

BEFORE I READ THIS, I JUST HAVE TO SAY THANKS TO THE FORMER SPEAKER.

WE CAN NO LONGER SAY NOT MY CIRCUS, NOT MY MONKEYS.

THANKS A LOT, MITCH.

SO NOW IN SERIOUSNESS, UM, WHEREAS SEPTEMBER 17TH, 2021 MARKS THE 234TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE DRAFTING OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BY THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

AND WHEREAS IT IS FITTING IN PROPER TO ACCORD OFFICIAL RECOGNITION TO THIS RECOGNITION, TO THIS MAGNIFICENT DOCUMENT AND ITS MEMORABLE ANNIVERSARY AND THE PATRIOTIC CELEBRATIONS, WHICH WILL COMMEMORATE THE OCCASION.

AND WHEREAS PUBLIC LAW NINE 15 GUARANTEES THE ISSUING OF A PROCLAMATION EACH YEAR BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, DESIGNATING SEPTEMBER 17TH THROUGH THE 23RD AS CONSTITUTION WEEK.

NOW, THEREFORE I, CHRISTINE SENT REQUESTS BY VIRTUE OF THE AUTHORITY VESTED IN ME AS MAYOR OF THE CITY OF LEANDER, TEXAS DO HEREBY PROCLAIM THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 17TH THROUGH 23RD AS CONSTITUTION WEEK AND ASK OUR CITIZENS TO REAFFIRM THE IDEALS OF THE FRAMERS OF THE CONSTITUTION HAD.

AND THE FRAMERS OF THE CONSTITUTION HAD IN 1787 BY VIGILANTLY PROTECTING THE FREEDOMS GUARANTEED TO US THROUGH THIS GUARDIAN OF OUR LIBERTIES.

REMEMBERING THAT LAST RIGHTS MAY NEVER BE REGAINED IN WITNESS WHEREOF I HAVE HERE AND TO SET MY, UM, AND CAUSE THE SEAL OF THE CITY OF LEANDER TO BE A FIXED THIS DAY 16TH DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 2021 WOULD Y'ALL LIKE TO COME UP FROM DAR

[11. Staff Reports Monthly Water Update]

[00:55:32]

SIDE THAT PUMPS INTO OUR HIGH PLANE.

ITEM 11 STAFF REPORTS.

WE HAVE THE MONTHLY WATER UPDATE WITH PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR ELLISON.

GOOD EVENING.

THIS IS THE MONTHLY, UH, WATER REPORT FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST, UH, STARTING WITH THE LAKE LEVELS, UH, AS OF SEPTEMBER 1ST, THE TWO LAKES BUCKHANNON AND TRAVIS WERE AT ABOUT 82% FULL.

THIS IS DOWN A LITTLE BIT FROM LAST MONTH WHERE THEY WERE 84% FULL, UM, ALWAYS MENTIONED THEY, THEY PROJECT OR, OR THEY TRACK IT BACK ONE YEAR.

UM, THEY WERE ABOUT, I THINK 79% FULL YEAR AGO, SEPTEMBER ONE.

AND THEN THEY PROJECT FORWARD, UM, DEPENDING ON THE WEATHER PATTERNS, UM, ABOUT 72 TO 88% FULL IN THE ABOUT SIX MONTHS FROM NOW.

UM, THIS CHART SHOWS THAT YOU PRODUCTIONS FROM OUR, THE PRODUCTIONS FROM OUR TWO PLANTS.

UM, THE LIGHT BLUE LINE IS THE BCR WAS ABOUT, UM, 165 MILLION GALLONS LAST MONTH.

AND SANDY CREEK PLANT WAS ABOUT 209 MILLION FOR A TOTAL OF TWO OF 374 MILLION GALLONS.

UM, I ALWAYS POINT OUT THAT THESE ARE KIND OF OUR SUMMER PEAKS AND WE'RE TRENDING UP AND I STILL THINK WE'RE GOING TO GO UP A LITTLE BIT.

I THINK SEPTEMBER MIGHT BE HIGHER THAN AUGUST.

IT JUST KIND OF SEEMS TO BE TRENDING THAT WAY.

WE'RE A LITTLE BIT, A LITTLE BIT DRIER, A LITTLE BIT HOTTER.

UM, AND THIS GRAPH SHOWS THE USAGE KIND OF DAY TO DAY USAGE.

UM, THE RED LINE IS OUR 2020 NUMBERS, UH, CONSIDERABLY HIGHER THAN THE BLUE LINE, WHICH IS 2021 CURRENTLY.

UM, OUR PEAK LAST YEAR WAS ALMOST 17 MILLION, UM, AND WE'VE SEEN, AND THIS IS STILL THE PEAK TO DATE OF A 14.74.

AND THEN THIS IS LAST MONTH.

SO THIS IS JULY, UM, QUITE A BIT LESS.

SO, UM, AUGUST OF 2021 WAS ABOUT 74 MILLION GALLONS MORE, I'M SORRY, LESS THAN, UH, AUGUST OF 2020.

AND I ALWAYS SHOW THIS GRAPH TO AGAIN, KIND OF SHOWING WHAT, UM, THE DIFFERENCES OF YEAR OVER YEAR, OR AT LEAST FROM LAST YEAR TO THIS YEAR.

SO THE BLUE IS THE SANDY CREEK PRODUCTION AND THEN THIS TOTALS OUT WITH THE VCR AND THEN THE BACK RED, UM, WAS THE USAGE FOR LAST YEAR.

SO ALMOST ENTIRELY UP UNTIL RECENTLY, UM, 2020 HAS BEEN CONSIDERABLY HIGHER AND WE'VE SEEN IN THESE FIRST COUPLE OF WEEKS OF SEPTEMBER WHERE WE'VE ACTUALLY TRENDED, UM, A LOT HIGHER USAGE, NOT A LOT, BUT, UM, I THINK WE'RE AT ABOUT 20 MILLION GALLONS MORE CURRENTLY THAN SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR.

SO WE'RE STARTING TO FLIP THAT WHERE WE'VE ALWAYS CONSISTENTLY BEEN LESS THAN LAST YEAR.

I THINK SEPTEMBER IS GOING TO BE MORE THAN SEPTEMBER OF 2020.

AND THEN THIS IS THE MONTH TO MONTH WATER USAGE.

UM, AGAIN KIND OF REITERATING THE SAME POINT.

UM, THAT 2021 HAS BEEN CONSIDERABLY LESS THAN 2020, AND EVEN LESS THAN THE THREE-YEAR AVERAGE.

UM, AGAIN, I THINK WE'LL PROBABLY SEE SIMILAR NUMBERS IN SEPTEMBER AS AUGUST.

SO, UM, WE MAY NOT QUITE BE ON THE DOWN, DOWN SLOPE OF THIS GRAPH WHEN IT'S A HIGHLIGHT A FEW OF THE CIPS, UM, AT LEAST GIVE AN UPDATE ON THE TWO THAT ARE REALLY ACTIVE AND, AND CRITICAL TO LOOPING OUR WATER SYSTEM.

THE SAN GABRIEL 24 INCH WATER LINE IS TRENDING TO WRAP UP ABOUT MID NOVEMBER.

UM, THE BAGHDAD WE SEE ARE YOU A, UH, 2,424 INCH INTERCONNECT, UH, SHOULD BE ABOUT MID OCTOBER.

AND THEN WE ALSO KICKED OFF THE SANDY CREEK SLUDGE PROCESSING PROJECT.

SO WE HAD THE KICKOFF MEETING ON NOVEMBER 1ST.

I'M SORRY, SEPTEMBER, EXCUSE ME, SEPTEMBER 1ST.

UM, THEY STARTED SURVEYING, WE'RE EXPECTING TO, UM, ADVERTISE FOR BID AND ABOUT A YEAR FROM NOW.

SO WITH DESIGN AND EVERYTHING TAKING PLACE OVER THE NEXT YEAR, AND THEN WITH THE RECENT THIS WEEK, UM, WATERLINE BREAK THERE IN FRONT OF LEANDER HIGH SCHOOL, I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THESE OTHER TWO PROJECTS, UM, THE DUAL FEED AND THE TERMINUS PUMP STATION.

UH, SO WHERE THIS PURPLE LINE IS, THAT'S CURRENTLY THE REALLY KIND OF OLDER LINE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

SO WITH A CIP PROJECT NUMBER W 74, THAT LINE WILL BE REPLACED.

UM, AND THEN THAT PROJECT ALSO INCLUDES A SECONDARY LINE OF THE

[01:00:01]

AND THEN WE'RE ALSO LOOKING TO PUT IN A DUAL FEED, UM, OR A SECONDARY LINE INTO THE HIGH SCHOOL.

CURRENTLY, IT ONLY COMES IN OFF THIS FRONT OFF OF BAGHDAD.

SO BEHIND KIND OF TO THE NORTH OF THE HIGH SCHOOL, WE'RE LOOKING TO LOOP THAT IN SO THAT, YOU KNOW, IN THE EVENT THAT SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN OVER HERE, THERE'S ALWAYS TWO SOURCES OF WATER TO GET IN INTO THE SCHOOL BECAUSE WE'VE HAD IT BREAK SOMETIMES WHEN IT'S DURING SCHOOL AND THEN KIDS HAVE TO BE LET GO.

SO, UM, AND THEN LOOKING AT OUR PEAK DAY, UM, AGAIN, WE'RE TRENDING KIND OF RIGHT ON THAT, THAT THREE YEAR AVERAGE.

UM, I KNOW I TALK A LOT ABOUT LAST YEAR AND HOW HIGH THE PEAK WAS THERE, BUT, BUT IF, EVEN IF YOU LOOK BACK 2019, OUR PEAK THIS YEAR IS LESS THAN THAT.

SO, UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST BEEN CONSIDERABLY COOLER, UM, ALMOST 10 DEGREES COOLER ON AVERAGE IN AUGUST THEN AUGUST OF LAST YEAR AND THROUGHOUT THE YEAR IN GENERAL.

UM, LET'S SEE.

AND THEN, UM, GOING BACK TO THE CIP, UH, GENERALLY I THINK YOU'VE SEEN THIS GRAPH BEFORE, BUT, UM, OUR WATER FLOWS IN HERE FROM SANDY CREEK AND THEN VCR FLOWS OUT TO TRIVIA.

SO, AND THEN IT FLOWS ALONG NEW HOPE AS WELL.

SO THIS NEW CONNECTION WILL TAKE THAT BCRA WATER, UM, UP INTO THE LOW PLANE, THE SCREEN, AND THEN THE SAN GABRIEL WATER LINE.

WE'LL ALSO PULL THE CEREAL AWAY WATER.

SO WE'RE JUST, AGAIN, LOOPING, LOOPING THE SYSTEM.

UM, AND I WANTED TO FINISH WITH JUST ALL THE OTHER WATER PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE, THAT'LL BE UNDER DESIGN OR CONSTRUCTION, UM, IN THE NEXT ONE TO TWO YEARS, WHICH IS A LOT, THAT'S A LOT OF THEM.

SO, UM, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON COUNSEL? ALRIGHT, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THAT WAS FANTASTIC.

GRIFFIN HAS AN OVERVIEW GOOD EVENING.

UM, SO THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPOSITE

[01:05:01]

ZONING ORDINANCE.

WE'RE PROPOSING CHANGES TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD OUTREACH SECTION OF THE ORDINANCE.

UM, THIS CHANGE DID COME FROM OUR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

WE HAVE A LOT OF CASES WHERE THE APPLICANT DID NOT, UM, REACH OUT TO THE PUBLIC IN A TIMELY MANNER.

AND THERE WERE NO RAMIFICATIONS IN THE ORDINANCE.

THE PRIMARY CHANGE IS THAT THEY HAVE TO TURN IN THEIR PUBLIC OUTREACH BEFORE WE DO OUR PUBLIC NOTICE.

SO THEY'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT IT WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND ARE KIND OF IN SYNC.

SO WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT CHANGES AFTER A NOTICE HAS OCCURRED.

UM, THE COMMISSION DID HAVE SOME OTHER, UM, ITEMS THEY ADDED, THEY WANTED A REQUIREMENT FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE SIGNS.

SO HE HAD ADDED A TIMEFRAME FOR WHEN THE SIGNS HAVE TO BE REMOVED AFTER A PUBLIC HEARING.

I THINK THAT'S ANOTHER BIG ISSUE WHERE WE HAVE LINGERING SIGNS AND WE HAVE PEOPLE THINKING HEARINGS ARE STILL HAPPENING AND WE GET CALLS.

SO HOPEFULLY THAT'LL HELP REMEDY THAT SITUATION.

UM, THE COMMISSION DID REVIEW THE REQUEST, UM, AT THE MEETING LAST WEEK AND THEY UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED TO APPROVE IT AND I'LL BE AVAILABLE AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

THE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.

NOBODY HAS SUBMITTED ANY CARDS TO SPEAK.

IS THERE ANYBODY WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? OKAY.

PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.

WE WILL NOW MOVE INTO THE ACTION REGARDING ORDINANCE CASE 21 OH R 0 0 2 AS DESCRIBED PREVIOUSLY COUNSEL, MOVING TO APPROVE SECOND MOTION.

I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR MS. GRIFFIN, SORRY.

ON THE REMOVAL OF THE SIGNS.

DOES THAT NOW CARRY WITH IT, UH, ENFORCEMENT BY, UH, ENFORCEMENT? THAT THAT WOULD BE THE NEXT STEP.

SO THEY DO AN AFFIDAVIT THAT THEY PUT UP THE SIGN.

WE'RE GOING TO ADD TO THE AFFIDAVIT THAT THEY AGREE TO TAKE DOWN THE SIGN.

SOUNDS GOOD.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

IS THERE ANYTHING FURTHER FROM COUNSEL? OKAY.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

ITEM 24, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING GRANTING TEXAS COMMUNITY PROPANE INCORPORATED THE RIGHT PRIVILEGE AND FRANCHISE TO USE STREETS, ALLEYS, AND THOROUGHFARES TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE AND MAINTAIN A PROPANE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AND THE CITY OF LEANDER, TRAVIS AND WILLIAMSON COUNTIES, TEXAS PROVIDING REGULATIONS FOR THE CONDUCT OF THE SYSTEM BY THE COMPANY, MAKING FINDINGS OF FACT PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND PROVIDING FOR OPEN MEETINGS AND OTHER RELATED MATTERS.

MAYOR MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL, UH, TEXAS COMMUNITY PROPANE RECEIVED A FRANCHISE IN OCTOBER OF 2001.

UH, IT WAS A 20 YEAR FRANCHISE TO OPERATE WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF LEANDER.

THE CITY'S HOME RULE CHARTER, AS YOU KNOW, REQUIRES A PUBLIC HEARING AND TWO READINGS OF AN ORDINANCE GRANTING OF A PUBLIC UTILITY FRANCHISE.

SO, UM, THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE POSTED FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC HEARING IN THE FIRST READING OF THE ORDINANCE, WHICH IS, UM, GRANTING THE FRANCHISE, WHICH IS IN YOUR PACKETS, JUST IN GENERAL.

IT'S, UH, WE STARTED WITH THE EXISTING FRANCHISE AND ADDED A, OUR, OUR CITY ATTORNEY, UM, WORKING, UH, THROUGH THE DOCUMENT, ADDED A COUPLE OF, UM, SECTIONS, UH, SECTION TWO DEALS WITH, UM, INCREASED COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE COMPANY AND CITY STAFF, PUBLIC WORKS ENGINEERING FIRE DEPARTMENT, UH, SECTION FIVE, UH, DEALS WITH, UM, EMERGENCY PLANNING COORDINATION WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

UH, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF, UH, LEGAL RE UM, PROVISIONS, AN INDEMNITY CLAUSE THAT WASN'T IN THE ORIGINAL, UH, FRANCHISE.

AND THEN, UH, SECTION 17 HAS SOME MANDATORY LANGUAGE ABOUT, UH, UM, CERTAIN, UM, BOYCOTTING PROVISION PROVISIONS THAT STATE LAW REQUIRES TO BE IN CONTRACTS.

SO THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY, UH, QUESTIONS, UM, AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I DO NOT HAVE ANYBODY SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON THIS.

IS THERE ANYBODY WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? ALRIGHT, PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.

WE WILL NOW MOVE INTO THE ACTION ON THE FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE GRANTING TEXAS COMMUNITY PROPANE INCORPORATED THE RIGHT PRIVILEGE AND FRANCHISE AS DESCRIBED PREVIOUSLY COUNCIL MOTION TO APPROVE.

SO WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER, PENN TILIAN PARKER, AND A SECOND BY PROTIME ROSS.

IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? OKAY.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

THAT WAS ACTUALLY COUNCILMAN THUMPS.

OH, I'M SO SORRY.

COUNCIL MEMBER THOMPSON ON THE MOTION.

I'M TALKING ABOUT THE SECOND, OH, ITEM 25

[25. Receive presentation from Naeem Mahesania, Primehaven Homes, regarding a petition for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment for a proposed single-family townhouse development located at 14751 Ronald W. Reagan Boulevard, Leander, Williamson County.

RECEIVED PRESENTATION FROM I'M.

SO SORRY.

NAME MES SONIA.

MAYBE NOT EVEN CLOSE WAS I THANK YOU.

[01:10:01]

UM, PRIME HAVEN HOMES REGARDING A PETITION FOR A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT FOR A PROPOSED SINGLE FAMILY TOWNHOUSE DEVELOPMENT LOCATED AT 1 47 5 1 RONALD W. REAGAN BOULEVARD, LANDER WILLIAMSON COUNTY PLANNING DIRECTOR.

GRIFFIN HAS THE OVERVIEWED, UM, GOOD EVENING.

SO I JUST WANTED TO, UM, BRIEF COUNCIL ON, UM, WHAT, WHAT WE'RE DOING TODAY.

WE HAVEN'T HAD A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL REVIEWS LATELY.

UM, THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE, UM, APPLICANTS, UH, TO COME BEFORE THE COUNCIL AND TALK ABOUT A PROPOSAL FOR A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY HIRE CONSULTANTS AND SPEND A LOT OF MONEY TO KIND OF GET A FEEL FOR WHAT THE COUNCIL THINKS.

UM, THE APPLICANT WILL BE GIVING A 10 MINUTE PRESENTATION AND AT THE END YOU'LL MAKE A MOTION ON A PETITION.

UM, IF YOU CHOOSE TO SUPPORT IT, THEN THEY WOULD MOVE FORWARD WITH THE NEXT STEP IN THE PROCESS.

UM, AND THAT APPROVAL OR DENIAL IS GOOD FOR SIX MONTHS.

UM, SO, AND I GUESS YOU'RE READY.

COME ON UP.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

I'M SORRY.

I'M STUFFY.

THAT JUST STARTED HAPPENING TODAY.

I THINK IT'S ALLERGIES.

UH, MY NAME IS DIANE AND I'M ACTUALLY SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF NAMING HISPANIA FOR PIPE HAVEN HOMES AND, UH, THE OWNER MR. DEJAN REGARDING THIS 10 ACRE TRACK THAT WE HAVE, UM, SITUATED AT ONE STEP BY 1 4 7 5 1, UH, RONALD REAGAN BOULEVARD.

UM, WE, UM, WHY DON'T YOU DESCRIBE THE LOCATION OF THE SITE IN, IN GREATER DETAIL TO, TO BE ABLE TO, UM, PRESENT TO YOU GUYS, UH, WHY WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOME OF THE RESTRICTIONS OR SOME OF THE REQUIREMENTS REMOVED FROM IT? UM, IF, IF YOU CAN CLICK TO THE, IS IT THIS ONE RIGHT HERE, WHICH IS THE CLICKER FOR THE THANK YOU.

PERFECT.

UM, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THIS SCREEN RIGHT HERE, THIS IS A 10 ACRE TRACT AND IT'S KIND OF, UM, PARTICULARLY, UM, SIZED WHERE THE SIDES OF THE, THE LENGTH OF THE LOT IS ABOUT 2000 FEET.

AND THE WIDTH OF THE LOT IS 200, APPROXIMATELY 210 FEET WIDE.

SO ALREADY RIGHT THERE WHERE, UM, EXPERIENCING SOME CHALLENGES AS FAR AS DESIGN GOES, UM, ON PLACING THE ITEMS. UM, THE REASON WHY WE'RE HERE IS BECAUSE THIS IS PART SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE MULTI-USE CORRIDOR WITH PART THE PRIORITY CORRIDOR, UM, UM, FEATURE, LAND, USE DESIGNATION, UM, AND THAT REQUIRES A COMPONENT FOR, UM, COMMERCIAL AND A COMPONENT FOR A LIMITATION ON THE RESIDENTIAL DESIGN.

UM, I WANTED TO GO AHEAD AND SHOW YOU APPROXIMATELY WHERE THE LOCATION OF A SITE WAS.

SO WE'RE WEST OF OUR EAST, I'M SORRY, EAST OF WHAT? ANY THREE 80 AND 180 3.

AND WE'RE WEST OF, I GUESS THAT'S, UM, BAGHDAD ROAD AND THE NORTH OF 1431 A LITTLE BIT CLOSER THERE.

I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO SHOW YOU THAT WE'RE JUST SOUTH OF, UH, HIGHER DENSITY PROPERTY, THE LANDER JUNCTION.

UM, I'M SURE YOU GUYS ARE FAMILIAR WITH THAT.

AND JUST BELOW THAT IS THE BLOCKHOUSE PUD THAT I BELIEVE IS EXPIRED NOW, IS THAT CORRECT? PROBABLY NOT EXPIRED.

I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY IMPORTANT THAT OUR CITY COUNCIL STICKS TO OUR GUNS ON WHAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SAYS.

EXCUSE ME.

UM, THE BLOCKHOUSE PUD IS PROBABLY WHAT WOULD BE, WE WOULD MODEL OUR DESIGN AFTER IT ALLOWS FOR TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT, UM, ON, ON THEIR LOCATION.

AND WE'D WANT TO BE EITHER THE SAME OR A BUFFER BETWEEN THE MORE DENSE, UH, PROPOSAL OR MORE DENSE EXISTING LEANDER JUNCTION.

UM, AND THAT WOULD BE THE REASON WHY WE WOULD BE IN FRONT OF YOU GUYS BECAUSE THIS CORRIDOR REQUIRES THEM TO HAVE, UM, A 40% LIMITATION ON RESIDENTIAL.

AND IT REQUIRES A COMMERCIAL COMPONENTS.

WE WOULD ASK THAT THE COMMERCIAL COMPONENT WOULD BE REMOVED, EXCUSE ME, AND, UM, CONSIDERATION FOR THE RESIDENTIAL RESTRICTION TO BE LIFTED AND, OR IN SOME MANNER SPOKEN ABOUT COUNCIL.

I DON'T THINK ANY OF US ARE IN FAVOR OF HAVING THAT COMMERCIAL REMOVED ON THAT CORRIDOR.

YEAH, THE W BASICALLY THE NEW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS I THINK A IS, IS GOING TO REALLY SET THE TONE FOR WHAT WE WANTED TO PROVE IN THE CITY.

AND, UH, THERE'S DEFINITELY SOME CONSTRAINTS TO THE, TO THE PROPERTY.

UM, ISSUE IS I THINK SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT YOU'VE MENTIONED WERE, WERE APPROVED IN THEIR LAST COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO, AS A REASON WHY THIS WAS MADE A PRIORITY CORRIDOR.

SO I THINK THAT, UM, AS A WHOLE,

[01:15:01]

UM, EVEN IF THAT MEANS THIS IS A REALLY TOUGH PROPERTY TO DEVELOP RIGHT NOW.

RIGHT? SO, UM, THAT'S, I'M, I'M, I'M HEARING WHAT YOU SAID ALSO TO MAYOR AGREEING.

I DID WANT TO MAKE MENTION ALSO THAT, UM, NOT ONLY ARE WE CONSTRAINED BY THE, THE SIZE, THE ORIENTATION OF A LOT, THAT THERE'S A FLOOD PLAIN THAT IS LOCATED WITHIN THE MIDDLE OF THE LOT, THAT'S GONNA, UM, IMPACT ANY, ANY TYPE OF DESIGN THAT WE DO, EVEN IF, SO THE FIRST ISSUE OF THE, OF THE LOT IS THE, THE WIDTH OF THE FRONT EDGE.

SO THAT'S GONNA BE A MAJOR IMPACT TO ANY COMMERCIAL DESIGN THAT IS PROPOSAL THE SITE.

IT WOULD BE A HARD SELL FOR THE DEVELOPERS TO PUSH ANY, ANY COMMERCIAL STOREFRONT.

UM, IT'S SUCH A SMALL AREA.

UM, EVEN IF WE CHOOSE TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF COMMERCIAL THERE, IT'S, IT'S, WE WOULD WANT TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF BUFFER BETWEEN THE, BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL THAT WE WANT TO HAVE ON THE SIDE AND THE COMMERCIAL THAT WOULD BE THERE.

SO WE'RE JUST HARD PRESSED FOR SPACE IN THAT TYPE OF, UM, ORIENTATION OF THE LOT.

AND WE JUST WANT TO APPEAR BEFORE YOU, BEFORE CITY COUNCIL AND EXPRESS THOSE CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE, WE'D REALLY LIKE TO BE CONTENT WE'D LIKE TO BE, EXCUSE ME, THE SAME AS, OR EQUAL TO WHAT'S ALREADY.

THERE WAS ALREADY PROPOSED TO BE THERE, WHICH IS THE LAND OR JUNCTION IN THE BLOCKHOUSE PIPE.

I THINK THAT THE ISSUE IS GOING FORWARD WITH OUR CITY.

THERE'S A WHOLE REASON WHY WE ACTUALLY MOVED THE CONFERENCE.

IT WENT UP A YEAR BECAUSE OF DEVELOPMENTS WE WERE STARTING TO SEE, AND IT WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM THAT PRIORITY CORRIDOR.

SO TO DO THAT RIGHT HERE IN THIS PROP PROPERTY PROBABLY SETS A PRECEDENCE GOING FORWARD TO THAT.

WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE DOING THOSE THINGS WHEN THAT'S THE REASON WE JUST HAVE A NEW COMFORTS THAT PLAN, UM, DEVELOPED.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE, THAT'S THE ISSUE THAT WE'RE HAVING, I THINK RIGHT NOW.

DOES ANYBODY, I THINK WE ALL DO UNDERSTAND THAT THE RESTRAINTS OF THIS LONG NARROW PROPERTY, UM, BUT HAVING THE COMMERCIAL ALONG RONALD REAGAN IS JUST, IT'S AN ABSOLUTE.

DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY, THANK YOU.

SO, UM, I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE GET.

I DON'T BELIEVE WE NEED A AND I, HE DENIED THE PROPOSAL.

YEAH, I NEED IT.

I'D MADE A MOTION THAT WE DID NOT, SORRY, THE PETITION MY FAULT SECOND.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF DENIAL PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

ITEM 26, RECEIVE PRESENTATION AND CONSIDER ACTION ON A REQUEST FROM LAWSON BROTHERS INCORPORATED, LIBERTY, LIBERTY, DUMPSTER RENTAL, AND RECON WASTE SERVICES FOR A TEMPORARY SOLID WASTE SERVICES FRANCHISE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE POWERS BE HERE.

[26. Receive presentation and consider action on a request from Lossen Brothers Inc., Liberty Dumpster Rental, and Recon Waste Services for a temporary solid waste services franchise.]

THANK YOU, MAYOR MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

UH, WE HAVE THREE COMPANIES THAT ARE REQUESTING, UM, PERMISSION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE FRANCHISE PROCESS.

UH, AS WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST, THEY'LL COME SPEAK UP TO THREE MINUTES TO INTRODUCE THEMSELVES AND, AND THEIR, UH, THEIR COMPANY.

AND THEN IF COUNCIL DOESN'T HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS, WE WILL, UM, PROCEED WITH THE NOTICE IN THE PAPER TO SET THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SO, UM, I BELIEVE THERE'S A REPRESENTATIVE FROM LAWSON BROTHERS AND RECON WASTE SERVICES.

UM, THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM, UM, LIBERTY, UH, NOTIFIED ME LATER TODAY THAT HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE THE LATER START.

I ADVISED HIM THAT THE MEETING MIGHT RUN LATE.

UM, ON TOP OF THAT, WE ALSO HAVE A COMPANY THAT'S, UH, THREE B AUTOMATED RECYCLING WE DO, AND D RECYCLING.

THEY ARE REQUESTING A MINOR PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WITH THE BASE DISTRICT OF SINGLE FAMILY, COMPACT AND SINGLE FAMILY, URBAN THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR A MIXTURE OF, UM, FIFTIES AND 60 FOOT WIDE LOTS.

UM, THE APPLICANT IS HERE TO MAKE A PRESENTATION I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS, IF YOU HAVE ANY THANK YOU AND IF NAMED COUNCIL MEMBERS AND MAYOR, MY NAME IS STEVEN.

BUFFUM A ENGINEER AT COSTELLO 90 50 NORTH CAPITOL OF TEXAS HIGHWAY HERE IN AUSTIN, TEXAS.

I'M SORRY THAT, UH, YOU GOT A NEW FACE IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY.

MR. MIKE BOSWELL CAME DOWN WITH A BUG AND, UH, OUT OF AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION DECIDED TO, UH, STEER CLEAR.

UM, IT'S NOT CORONAVIRUS FORTUNATELY, SO HE'LL BE DOING ALL RIGHT SOON.

UM, A LOT OF WHAT I'M WAS PLANNING ON TALKING ABOUT TODAY, I BELIEVE YOU GUYS JUST COVERED, UH, AT LENGTH AND YOUR EXECUTIVE SESSION.

SO I'LL JUST BREEZE RIGHT THROUGH, UH, THIS RIGHT HERE.

UH, Y'ALL KNOW THAT WE REACHED OUT, UH, TO THE, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, PRIOR TO OUR ZONING CASE AS REQUIRED.

UH, THEY BROUGHT UP TRANSPORTATION CONCERNS.

UM, WE BROUGHT THOSE CONCERNS TO YOU.

UM, AND SO REALLY WHAT DID WE LEARN, UH, BETWEEN OUR SEPTEMBER 2ND MEETING, UH, WITH YOU ALL AND NOW, UM, IT'S REALLY ONE OF FIRST TIMES THAT WE DISCOVERED THAT Y'ALL HAD A SIGNIFICANT CONCERN OVER WATER, AND APPARENTLY THAT'S BEEN A, AN, UH, UH, OUTSTANDING ISSUE, UH, UH, HOT ITEM OF DISCUSSION FOR SOME TIME.

UM, SO, UM, I THINK THAT I'LL ACTUALLY STEP BACK AND, AND, AND HEAR FROM YOU ALL, UH, ABOUT YOUR THOUGHTS ON, ON WATER.

UM, AS FAR AS ROAD IMPROVEMENTS, UM, WE HAVE SUBMITTED OUR TIA FORMALLY, UM, YOU KNOW, WE WILL HAVE A ROADWAY IMPACT FEES ASSESSED OR ROADWAY, ADEQUACY FEES ASSESSED FOR US AS WELL AS, UH, IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE ALREADY PLANNED TO MAKE.

UM, ONE OF THE CONCERNS FOR, UH, THE ROADS IN OUR AREA WAS ALONG 1 75.

UH, I BELIEVE THAT, UH, ONE OF YOU COUNCIL MEMBERS LIVES NEARBY THERE AND, UH, UH, EXPRESSED SOME CONCERN ABOUT THE NARROWNESS OF THE ROADWAY.

UH, WE'RE ALREADY PLANNING ON EXPANDING THE ROADWAY, AT LEAST ON OUR ROADWAY SECTION, UH, TO INCLUDE TURN LANES.

UH, BUT

[01:30:01]

ONE OF THE INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT OUR TIA, UH, THAT WE DISCOVERED IS THAT, UM, 1 75, EVEN WITHOUT US NEEDS THREE TRAFFIC LIGHTS.

UM, SO, UH, THAT THAT'S, YOU KNOW, REGARDLESS IF WE PUT OUR, UH, DEVELOPMENT IN PLACE, UM, SO, UH, DOING THE TIA EARLY, UM, AND NOT UTILIZING THE FAN PROGRAM ACTUALLY WAS A BENEFIT, UH, TO THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT WE WERE ABLE TO BRING SOME MUCH NEEDED, UH, IDEAS, UH, FOR, UH, TRAFFIC CONTROL IN THE AREA, UH, TO YOU GUYS.

UM, SO HOPEFULLY, UH, AFTER, UH, OUR IMPROVEMENTS ARE MADE, UH, ADJACENT TO OUR SITE TO IMPROVE AT LEAST 1 75, UM, AND ANY IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE MAY MAKE TO 1 77 AS WELL, UH, THAT WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF, UH, SOME EXTRA FUNDS LEFT OVER FROM THOSE, UH, ROADWAY ASSESSMENT FEES THAT WE MAY BE ABLE TO MAKE SOME IMPROVEMENTS, UH, IN ADDITION TO THOSE THAT WERE ALREADY PLANNING TO DO, UM, THAT'S ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK THROUGH WITH STAFF, UH, THROUGH THE CONCEPTUAL PLAN AND PRELIMINARY PLAN STAGES.

UM, ONE OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS, I FORGIVE ME, I DON'T REMEMBER WHO, UH, BROUGHT UP A POTENTIAL CONCERN FOR WASTEWATER, UM, HAVE TALKED TO YOUR, UH, ENGINEERS THAT MODEL YOUR WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS. UM, AND, UH, I HAVE DETERMINED THROUGH TALKING TO THEM THAT THERE'S NOT A CONCERN FOR WATER WASTEWATER SERVICE AT, UH, AT OUR LOT.

WE'VE GOT A 36 INCH INTERCEPTOR IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE SITE, UM, AND WE'RE NOT EXPECTED TO, UH, CAUSE ANY NEGATIVE IMPACTS TO THE DOWNSTREAM TREATMENT.

AND SO, UM, AGAIN, LIKE I SAID, UH, I HAD SOME IDEAS ABOUT WATER, UM, BUT, UH, YOU ALL, UH, HAVE, HAVE JUST BEEN IN EXECUTIVE SESSION ABOUT THAT.

I, WE STILL LIKE TO HEAR YOUR IDEAS.

SO, UM, UH, AGAIN, TALKING TO, UH, YOUR ENGINEERS, THAT MODEL THE SYSTEMS, UM, THE DELIVERY SYSTEMS, THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S ADJACENT TO OUR SITE AND THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE BRINGING DOWN TO OUR SITE TO SERVE WATER IS GOING TO BE ADEQUATE.

UH, SO IT'S NOT THE SIZE OF PIPES OR PRESSURES THAT WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT IN OUR SITE.

UM, I THINK THAT WE'RE JUST THE LUCKY ONES TO BE COMING ONLINE AT THE SAME TIME THAT YOU ALL HAVE REAL ISSUES TO FACE ON A CITY-WIDE LEVEL.

UM, SO, UH, I, I BELIEVE THAT, UH, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'LL JUST HAVE TO ALL WORK THROUGH TOGETHER.

YOU KNOW, WE'LL HAVE, UH, OUR LITTLE PIECE OF THE PUZZLE OR PIE THAT WE PAY INTO FOR A WATER IMPACT FEES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

UM, BUT, UH, I THINK YOU'LL HAVE MUCH LARGER DECISIONS TO MAKE, UH, ON, ON THE CITY SCALE.

UM, UH, Y'ALL SAW THIS SLIDE BEFORE.

THIS IS, UH, ESSENTIALLY WHAT OUR PLAN IS SHAPING UP TO BE, UM, AND, UH, UNITS.

UM, I THINK ONE OF THE, ONE OF THE KEY THINGS TO POINT OUT HERE, UM, IS THIS DOESN'T ALL COME ONLINE, UH, AT ALL, ALL AT ONE TIME.

UH, WE RECOGNIZE THAT, UH, THE NEAR TERM WATER STRESSES THAT THE CITY IS FACING, UH, SOMEWHERE AROUND THE SEVEN ISH YEAR MARK.

UM, AND SO WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE, WE'RE PLANNING ON THAT, THAT FIRST HOME SALE, UH, BEING IN 2024 AND THE LAST HOME SALE BEING IN 2029.

UH, SO THESE THINGS SLOWLY PHASE IN, UM, BUT IT DOESN'T ALL KIND OF HAPPEN AT, AT ONE TIME.

UM, AND WOULD THAT, UH, THAT'S, THAT'S REALLY ALL I GOT, I, I TRULY WOULD LIKE TO HEAR, UH, SOME, SOME THOUGHTS FROM THE REST OF THE, UH, THE DIOCESE HERE.

COUNSEL, CAN YOU SPEAK A LITTLE BIT TO WHAT WATER CONSERVATION SYSTEMS OR PROCESSES OR THOUGHTS Y'ALL HAVE IN PLACE FOR THIS, THIS DEVELOPMENT I CAN, UH, SO TOLL BROTHERS IS A VERY FORWARD-THINKING, UH, THERE, WE'RE ALREADY WORKING ON, UH, THE, THE, THE PLANS, UH, FOR THE AMENITIES THAT WILL BE IN THE ACTUAL PROJECT.

UM, AND THE PLAN IS TO XERISCAPE ALL OF THE, UH, THE, THE PUBLIC AMENITIES THAT WILL WE'LL HAVE IN THERE.

UH, SO, UH, AS FAR AS WATER USE, UH, WITHIN, UH, WITHIN THOSE AMENITIES AND PARKS AND THINGS, UH, THOSE SHOULD BE A LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENTS.

SO THAT WAS PUBLIC AREA, BUT AS FAR AS THE, ARE YOU DONE, IF YOU STILL GOT, IF YOU STILL GOT MORE, I JUST WANTED CLARIFICATION ON THAT ONE.

I WAS TRYING TO WAIT FOR A WHILE AND SEE IF ANYBODY WAS DONE.

UM, BUT THE, THE INDIVIDUAL LOTS WILL STILL BE PROBABLY MOSTLY SOD IN IRRIGATION.

UH, AS FAR AS I UNDERSTAND IT, UH, THE TOLL BROTHERS TEAM IS ALL BEHIND ME AND CAN SPEAK TO THAT AS WELL.

BUT, UH, MORE OF THE SAME IN WHAT TYPICALLY GETS IN RESIDENTIAL THAT'S RIGHT.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS AN ASS.

[01:35:01]

SO YOU GOT, I HAVE A QUESTION AS FAR AS, UH, IS, ARE YOU, ARE YOU PLANNING ON, I GUESS IT'S PRETTY HARD TO DETERMINE NOT TO, ARE YOU PLANNING ON DEVELOPING IT AND BUILDING IT ALL YOURSELF, OR ARE YOU PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE IT IN A BIT LIKE A PARTNERING UP AND HAVING ANOTHER BUILDER IN THERE WITH YOU PLEASE COME TO THE MICROPHONE? HE'S GOT A GOOD VOICE FROM THERE THOUGH.

BRENDAN COOPER, A TOLL BROTHERS DIVISION PRESIDENT, UM, 38, 21 VALENCIA VIEW LEANDER, TEXAS.

UH, OUR GAME PLAN IS TO, UH, DEVELOP IT ON OUR OWN AND DO SELL IT JUST AS TOLL BROTHERS.

UM, OBVIOUSLY, UM, AS WE GET DEEPER INTO THE, TO THE PROJECT, THERE'S A CHANCE THAT WE COULD SELL OFF LOTS TO, UH, TO A THIRD PARTY HOME BUILDER.

BUT OUR GAME PLAN, AS OF RIGHT NOW IS FOR IT TO BE WHOLLY TOLL BROTHERS.

UM, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL FAMILY LOTS, UM, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY AS WE LOOK AT THE CONCERNS FROM THE CITY AND JUST THE OVERALL CONCERNS OF THE CENTER OF CENTRAL TEXAS WITH WATER BEING AN ISSUE, UM, I THINK AS WE, AS WE GROW, UM, UM, HERE IN CENTRAL TEXAS, UM, ZEROSCAPING ON RESIDENTIAL, LOTS WILL BECOME MORE ACCEPTED.

AND IT'S OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WHEN WE GET TO THAT POINT THAT WE'LL LOOK AT AND CONSIDER TO INCORPORATE TRADITIONAL SIDE LANDSCAPING WITH SOME FORM OF ZEROSCAPING.

UM, CAN'T TELL YOU THAT WE'VE MADE A DECISION RIGHT NOW THAT WE'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO DO THAT THOUGH.

HAVEN'T GOT TO THAT POINT YET.

SO REGARDING THE ROADS, AND I'M NOT SURE WHO CAN ANSWER THIS QUESTION.

HAVE, HAS THERE BEEN ANY DISCUSSION WITH LSD REGARDING I'M SORRY.

SO YOU HAD A DISCUSSION WITH YOU.

YOU WANT TO GO OVER AT JASON? I'M NOT IN DEBT, BUT I AM GOING TO MEET WITH COMMISSIONER.

SO HAVE THERE BEEN ANY DISCUSSIONS WITH LSD AND I KNOW IT'S A COUNTY ROAD, BUT WHAT CAN BE DONE AND LIKE SOME SORT OF PARTNERSHIP WHERE WE'RE NOT MAKING ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS? I'M NOT SURE.

SHOULD WE, WE PERSONALLY REACHED OUT TO ADAM BOAT RIGHT AT, UH, AT THE COUNTY AND, UH, HE WAS GOING TO LOOK INTO, UM, HAS PLANS FOR THE AREA.

UH, SO NOTHING HAS BEEN SOLIDIFIED.

UM, WE'RE HAPPY TO SHARE OUR TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS WITH HIM AND, UH, LET, LET THEM KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE'VE ALREADY FOUND.

UM, LIKE I, I DO WANT TO REITERATE THAT POINT, UM, UH, BECAUSE IT'S, IT'S SOMETHING THAT, UH, DEVELOPERS WILL OFTEN USE.

YOU ALL HAVE A VERY GENEROUS FEE IN LIEU OPTION FOR TIA IS, UH, WE ARE, UH, THIS IS A VERY FORWARD AND TRANSPARENT GROUP.

AND, UH, JUST ABOUT THE SECOND DAY I WAS STARTED, UH, THEY SAID, STEVEN, GO GET A TIA.

UM, AND SURE ENOUGH, YOU KNOW, WE, WE DISCOVERED YOU NEED THREE TRAFFIC LIGHTS ALREADY.

UM, SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN, UH, BE A PART OF THAT SOLUTION.

UM, THE SCHOOL, UH, WE HAVE NOT SPOKE TO THE SCHOOL, UH, YOU KNOW, UH, WITH OUR TEAM.

UM, SO, UH, BUT CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO WHILE WE'RE IN THE CONCEPTUAL PLAN STAGE.

UM, AND, UH, SO IT'S, IT'S GOING TO BLITZ THROUGH, UH, YOU KNOW, EXISTING PROPERTIES AND, UH, BECOME A MUCH BETTER ARTERIAL, UM, YOU KNOW, SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE.

THANK YOU, CHRIS.

NO, IT DOES.

IT'S PROBABLY FOR STEP TWO, BUT IF, IF ALSO I KNOW WE MADE A MOTION TO ANNEX TWO, IF WE, IF WE ANNEX THIS PROPERTY AND RIGHT NOW, TOO, AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TALKING TO DIFFERENT ENTITIES LIKE THE COUNTY, UM, ARE WE IN ALL FOUR 50 IN OUR RIGHT TO WORK WITH THEM ON THIS? OR ARE THEY JUST SAYING THIS TOUGH STUFF? THIS IS YOURS NOW SO WHEN WE, WHEN WE ANNEX, WE'RE ANNEXING THE ADJACENT RIGHTS OF WAY.

UM, BUT, UH, DAN JUST CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS A LOW PRIORITY ROAD FOR THE COUNTY TODAY, BUT WE'LL STILL WORK WITH THEM AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO, I GUESS.

AND WHAT'S OUR BIGGEST CONCERN RIGHT NOW, ROAD WISE, I KNOW 1 75 GETS, UH, GETS IMPROVED BY Y'ALL, UH, TO A CERTAIN EXTENT AROUND YOUR PROPERTY.

CORRECT.

BUT THEN THERE'S THE BIG, THE BIG ISSUE IS ALSO THE ONES AT ANYBODY FROM THE DEVELOPMENT WAS TO GO 1 77.

AND ESPECIALLY THAT SINGLE CROSSING.

I THINK THAT'S WHY I MADE A BIG STINK EARLIER.

LIKE WE, I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT AS A CITY RIGHT NOW.

SO 1 77 IS A LITTLE BIT TRICKY, UH, BECAUSE YOU CAN LOOK AT THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND THE ROADWAY IS COMPLETELY REALIGNED BASICALLY AT OUR FAR SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE TRACT.

UH, IT DIVERGES AND GOES STRAIGHT OVER, UM, OUR, IS IT CRYSTAL RIVER, UM, THAT IT CONNECTS TO AND SORRY, CRYSTAL FALLS.

[01:40:01]

UH, SO, UH, A VERY POSSIBLE REALITY FOR THAT LOW WATER CROSSING IS THAT IT'S ACTUALLY REMOVED AND BECAUSE THERE WILL BE A WHOLE NEW ROAD, UH, WHERE IT USED TO BE.

AND, UH, SO WE WON'T NEED THAT FOR ACCESS ANYMORE.

UM, SO IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO OUR SITE, UH, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, THE STANDARD STUFF WILL BE DEDICATING SOME RIGHT OF WAY.

UM, AND HOPEFULLY BEING ABLE TO MAKE SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO THE, TO THE WIDTH OF THE ROAD AT OUR SECTION, UH, BUT IT REALLY NEEDS TO STOP THERE, UH, BECAUSE, UH, FUTURE CIP PROJECTS, UM, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THAT'S MAYBE NOT ON THE RADAR RIGHT NOW, BUT AT LEAST IT'S IN THE FUTURE PLAN, UH, THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A VERY BIG PROJECT THAT EXTENDS FURTHER WEST AND GIVES YOU A MUCH BETTER GRID SYSTEM.

SO WHAT HAPPENS IN THE INTERIM UNTIL THAT THING GETS TAKEN CARE OF? WELL, UH, UH, IN THE INTERIM, UH, SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS ACTUALLY BROUGHT UP SOME DECENT POINTS, UH, THAT EVEN ADDING A BETTER TURNAROUND, UH, AT, AT EITHER SIDE OF THAT BRIDGE WOULD BE A BIG IMPROVEMENT.

SO THEY STOPPED DURING OR UP ONE GUY'S DRIVEWAY.

UM, SO WE'VE ALREADY BUILT IN ONE OF THOSE CONCEPTS INTO OUR SIDE, AND WE HAVE, UH, A WATER QUALITY POND DOWN THERE, UH, NEAR THE CREEK.

AND SO WE CAN ACTUALLY SET UP IN AND ACCESS ONLY GATE FOR, FOR MAINTENANCE.

UH, BUT THAT ALSO WILL ACT AS A TURNAROUND FOR VEHICLES WHEN, WHEN THE WATER IS HIGH.

UM, SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WERE ABLE TO BUILD IN BASED ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD FEEDBACK.

UM, AND THAT'S IN AN AREA THAT WE CAN CONTROL.

UH, SO IT'S RIGHT AWAY THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON ANYWAY.

UM, BUT, UH, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BRIDGE, UM, I, I DON'T REALLY HAVE THE BEST ANSWER FOR YOU THERE.

UM, THE, ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS REQUESTED THAT THE WARNING SIGNS FOR LOW WATER, UH, GET MOVED UP SIGNIFICANTLY UP TO THE NEXT ROAD SO THAT, UH, PEOPLE STOPPED TEARING UP HIS DRIVEWAY.

THAT WAS NOT RIGHT AWAY, THAT WE CONTROL.

HOW MANY HOMES WAS IT? 3 30, 3 30.

ARE YOU OPEN TO PUSH OUT THAT LAST, THE GUN? AND Y'ALL YOU MENTIONED THE BEIJING.

ARE YOU WILLING TO PUSH THAT OUT A YEAR AND A HALF TO 20 31, 20, 30 AND A HALF? UH, THAT'S REALLY NOT A QUESTION FOR A CIVIL ENGINEER HERE.

I'D HAVE TO PUSH THAT OVER TO THE, UH, TO THE DEVELOPER SIDE.

YEAH, I CAN SPEAK TO IT A LITTLE BIT.

THE, UM, SO WHAT WE'RE DOING IS, OR THE, THE, WHAT, WHAT YOU SAW ON THE SCREEN WAS MORE TO DO WITH THE MARKET, RIGHT? WELL, WE FEEL LIKE THE NORMAL ABSORPTION IS NOT, NOT POST COVID ABSORPTION.

WE THINK IT'LL, YOU KNOW, CALM BACK DOWN TO A HISTORIC LEVEL, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S WHERE IT GETS US THOSE 330 PLUS LOTS OVER TIME.

SURE.

SO IT COULD SPREAD INTO 2000.

WELL, SO HERE'S THE THING.

SO IT'S WATER, WATER, WATER, RIGHT? SO YOU DO 20, 29, THAT'S $66 A YEAR.

IF YOU DO 23 AND A HALF, THAT'S 47 ALL TIMES A YEAR, WHICH I THINK WE CAN HANDLE WITH THAT TYPE OF AGENT.

BECAUSE THAT'S MANAGED GROWTH BECAUSE BEFORE GROWTH IN THE CITY HAS BEEN A BETTER YOU COME IN AND YEAH, HERE YOU GO.

BUT WE CAN'T DO THAT ANYMORE.

SO WE HAVE TO BE LASER FOCUSED RIGHT NOW ON MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE RESPONSIBLE WITH THE WATER.

AND ONE OF THE WAYS THAT I THINK WE CAN DO IS THROUGH PHASING.

SO, I MEAN, AND Y'ALL SOMETHING, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WERE THINKING, YOU KNOW, COMING IN 20, 24 AND DUDE 200 HOMES AND THEY COME IN 29 AND DO ANOTHER 130, BUT WE'RE SAYING, WELL, I'M SAYING THEN WE PHASE THAT IN AND EVERY YEAR YOU'RE, YOU CAN GET CEO'S OLD 47 HOMES.

AND THEN WE'VE GOT TO, THAT'S THE ONLY WAY THAT I AM COMFORTABLE WITH ANY LARGE PRESIDENTIAL AT THIS POINT, BECAUSE I'M NOT THE WATER'S SERIOUS RIGHT NOW.

SO THAT'S WHERE I'M AT.

I AGREE.

IF WE CAN KIND OF COME UP WITH SOME KIND OF PHASING, I THINK THAT WILL HELP US TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS.

UH, JUST SOME OTHER THOUGHTS TO THROW OUT THERE.

UM, MOTHER CITIES HAVE, UM, UH, HELPS DEVELOPERS TO, UH, DEVELOP PAMPHLETS THAT IS A WATER, WATER SAVING PLAN, UM, TO BOTH ENCOURAGE, UH, BUYERS, UH, YOU KNOW, OWNERS, UH, TO, UM, TO DO THEIR OWN XERISCAPING, TO CONSERVE WATER, UH, THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

UM, THESE ARE THINGS THAT CAN BE ENCOURAGED UNDER THE HOA PROGRAM.

UM, AND ON THE FLIP SIDE, BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE MENTIONED IT DOES ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, ZEROSCAPING

[01:45:01]

LOTS TO CONTROL PHASING.

NOW AT THIS POINT, UM, I RESPECT THE STATEMENT THAT, UH, YOU HAVE A MUCH GREATER, UH, ISSUE AT HAND IT'S, IT'S A CITY-WIDE ISSUE.

UM, BUT TO, TO CONTROL WHAT THE MARKET TELLS THESE GUYS, UM, HOW TO DO THINGS, UM, AND IF YOU BUILD A HOUSE AND WATER TO COME OUT OF THE TAP, NOBODY'S GOING TO MOVE INTO IT.

AND THEY DO EXACTLY ON DAY ONE.

WHAT, AND THE WHOLE REASON I'M, I'M STATING THE OTHER THINGS IS THAT THERE ARE ADDITIONAL MEASURES TO ASSIST IN CONTROLLING, BUT THERE'S CONTROLS ARE JUST THAT CONTROLS, RIGHT.

WE'RE DEALING WITH CONTROLS RIGHT NOW.

AND SO WE'RE NOT SEEING THE RESULTS THAT, THE CONTROLS THAT WE PASSED EARLIER THIS YEAR.

SO, I MEAN, MAYBE SO, I MEAN, MAYBE 20, 25, IT SOUNDED LIKE THE S THE STAGE THREE RESTRICTIONS WHERE WE'RE MAKING A DOUBT THAT OUR CITY HAS TOOLS THERE.

UM, AND, AND TRUST ME, I'M, UH, I'M ONLY OFFERING THOSE, THOSE, THOSE FEW THINGS AS, AS ALTERNATIVE IDEAS TO CONSIDER, UM, UH, I'M, I'M NOT GOING TO BE THE GUY TO TELL YOU TO DO THIS, UM, OFFERING ALTERNATIVES.

I'M JUST GOING TO SAY THAT YES.

I WOULD SAY IT MADE A DEBT.

IT WAS AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, SO NOBODY'S HAPPY ABOUT IT.

SO WE'D LIKE TO KEEP THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE HAPPY.

SO THERE'S, THERE'S DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THAT.

YES, IT CAN BE DONE, BUT AT WHAT COST, YEAH.

12% GROWTH RATE AT A CITY IS NOT EASILY MANAGED.

UH, AND WE, WE ON THE TEAM HAVE ALL HEARD THAT.

UM, SO, SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, WE'RE TRYING, WE WOULD LIKE TO DO AS WELL.

SO WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

W WE, WE NEED YOU TO WORK WITH US TO, AND I'M, I'M HEARING THAT YOU'RE WILLING TO DO THAT TO A CERTAIN, I GOT, LIKE I SAID, THAT'S JUST NOT THE CALL FOR THE CIVIL ENGINEERING.

UM, BUT, UH, ARE WE ON OUR, THIS IS A QUESTION HERE.

COULD WE POSSIBLY BE DOING SECOND AND THIRD READINGS TODAY? ARE WE COMING BACK? WELL, THIS IS SECOND.

THIS IS THE SECOND.

SO THIS IS THE SECOND READING.

UM, AND WE DO HAVE THE OPTION.

IF, IF Y'ALL WANTED TO POSTPONE IT, WE COULD DISCUSS OPTIONS WITH THE APPLICANT AND COME BACK WITH SOMETHING AT THE NEXT MEETING, BUT THIS WOULD BE YOUR LAST SHOT.

AND THEN WE COULD, WE INCLUDE THE, THE ZEROSCAPING IN THE, IN THE VERBIAGE.

I MEAN, ALL THE THINGS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WITH THE APPLICANT ON SOME, SOME GARBAGE FOR THAT, IF Y'ALL ARE AGREEABLE FOR YEAH.

WE, UH, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS THE, UH, THE ZERO ESCAPING QUESTION FROM EARLIER BETS, UH, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'VE THOUGHT OF, OBVIOUSLY, AS WE KNEW THAT WATER WAS AN ISSUE IN CITY OF LEANDER.

UM, BUT AGAIN, NOT, NOT KNOWING THE EXACT PARKING WHEN WE OPENED FOR CELL, IT'S JUST NOT A BRIDGE WE'VE CROSSED YET.

UM, THE, UH, THE, THE ABSORPTION PACE, RIGHT? 66, I'D SAY EXACT NUMBER.

I THINK I CAN'T EVER ENDED UP TO 67.

UM, UH, THAT'S, THAT'S REALLY BASED ON THOSE TWO PRODUCT LINES AND, YOU KNOW, ASSUMING WE'LL SELL 36 FIFTIES IN A YEAR AND 30, UH, SIXTIES, UM, THAT'S JUST NORMAL PACE FOR US OF WHAT WE'RE USED TO IN THIS MARKETPLACE.

UM, HAVEN'T, HADN'T LOOKED AT, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS PHASING OF THE DEVELOPMENT, WE LOOK AT THE PHASING OF THE DEVELOPMENT TO DEVELOP THE LODGE BASED ON WHEN WE'RE GOING TO GET THOSE ABSORPTION OF HOMES.

UM, WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE TO GO DOWN TO 47.

UM, IF THAT'S A NUMBER THAT'S A HARD NUMBER OR A WORKABLE NUMBER, UM, YOU KNOW, COULD WE, COULD WE SIT DOWN WITH STAFF AND, UH, AND YOU GUYS, AND, AND LOOK AT IT.

SURE.

WE COULD, YOU KNOW, WE, WE REALLY LIKED THIS DEAL.

WE THINK IT'D BE A BENEFIT AT THE CITY OF LEANDER.

AND, UH, AND OBVIOUSLY WE'RE UP HERE TO, UH, TO TRY TO FIND A SOLUTION TO, TO GET IT, TO MOVE FORWARD.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, TOO, THERE'S NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 47 AND 66 IN THE BIG SCHEME OF THINGS HERE.

UM, AND ALSO THE REASON I ASKED ABOUT THE, IF YOU GUYS WERE GOING TO KEEP THE LOTS, HAD EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE CAPACITY, YOU GO BRING A PARTNER IN THERE.

LIKE YOU GUYS, DIDN'T TAYLOR GO IN TOGETHER AND YOU EACH HAVE YOU YEAH.

YOU CAN, YEAH.

EASILY.

SO IT CAN GIVE YOU ABOUT TWICE AS FAST.

AND THAT WAS THE REASON FOR ASKING THAT QUESTION.

AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, NOT KNOWING WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS.

I CAN'T, I'M NOT GOING TO SIT UP HERE AND TELL YOU, YOU WON'T SURE.

AND I'M NOT IN, IN, IN BEING SOMEBODY WHO ALSO WANTS TO LET THE MARKET DICTATE THE MARKET.

UM, I, I TEND, I TEND TO AGREE WITH ALL THOSE THINGS.

WE'RE JUST IN A VERY HARD PLACE RIGHT NOW, AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW, ONCE, ONCE WE, ONCE WE, ONCE WE SAY, OKAY, THEN IT JUST, IT WORKS OUT THE WAY IT'S GOING TO WORK OUT.

AND, UM, AND SO, UH, I THINK THAT'S WHAT, THAT'S WHY WE'RE EXTRA CAUTIOUS.

I CAN, WE CAN'T SAY I KNEW THOSE THINGS, BUT THAT'S OUR, THAT'S OUR CONCERN BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IF YOU BUILD IT BY YOURSELF, YOU'RE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO GO PUT A HUNDRED TO 120 HOMES ON THE GROUND A YEAR.

SO IS THE, IS THE 47 NUMBER? IS THAT THE NUMBER OF UNITS? UM, I'M MORE INTO LIKE YOU GUYS BUILDING, I KNOW YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

I'M MORE INTO YOU GUYS BUILDING YOURSELF THEN TO THE 47 VERSUS 66, BUT I KNOW YOU CAN'T GET INTO THOSE THINGS AND PAGES ALREADY LOOKING AT ME.

[01:50:01]

ESPECIALLY RIGHT NOW WITH THE MATERIALS, BUT WHEN DOES THAT CHANGE IN A FEW YEARS? I DON'T KNOW.

UM, SO THE, THE 47 NUMBER IS THAT JUST THE NUMBER OF UNITS? THE CITY.

SO WHAT I DO IS I LOOK AT I'M LOOKING AT THE METRICS, RIGHT.

AND SO IN HONESTLY, SO WE HAD STARTED IT NOW, BUT SO WE'RE LOOKING AT 28, 29 FOR OUR WATER TO ACTUALLY LIKE, WE'RE GOING, RIGHT.

SO, I MEAN, THERE MAY BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK IN 28 OR 29 AND BE LIKE, HEY, Y'ALL GOT ALL THIS WATER NOW, CAN WE, CAN WE HAVE MORE THAN 47? I JUST THE 47 CAMP.

CAUSE I WAS TRYING TO GET ANOTHER 50 AND I DIDN'T WANT TO DO A WHOLE BUNCH OF MATH UP IN HERE.

UM, AND SO THAT'S WHERE I GOT 20, 30 AND A HALF, WHICH IS TONGUE TO US.

BUT MAYBE 2030, MAYBE 50.

I'M JUST SAYING AS A, AS A CITY, JUST HAVING SOME RESPONSIBILITY RIGHT NOW, WHEN A CITIZEN COMES TO ME AND GO, I DON'T HAVE WATER COMING OUT OF MY TAP OR I GOT REAL LOW WATER PRESSURE AND YOU'RE APPROVING 330 HOMES.

I CAN SAY, WE'VE MANAGED THAT GROWTH AND IT'S NOT GOING TO START TILL 20, 24.

AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO PHASE THOSE HOUSES IN 50 AT A YEAR.

AND IF THINGS CHANGED, YOU COULD COME BACK TO THE CITY, BUT RIGHT NOW PLED DUTIES TO THE CITIZENS.

AND I WANT TO BE ABLE TO GO BACK AND TELL THEM WE WERE RESPONSIBLE WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE WE WANT THE DEVELOPMENTS.

BUT LIKE CHRIS IS SAYING, WE'RE GETTING, WE'RE HAVING TO BE LASER-FOCUSED RIGHT NOW.

SO I, I, I GUESS, I GUESS THE THING THAT IT HELPED ME IS, IS THE 50 RIGHT.

UNDER 50.

IS THAT THE NUMBER OF WATER METERS? SO 47 IS, IS 47.

THE NUMBER OF WATER METERS DON'T GIVE ME 66, BUT I, I, I MEAN, I'M, I'M GOOD WITH THE NUMBER AT 50 AND IT'S NOT IT'S TWO-FOLD TWO.

AND BECAUSE IT GIVES TIME FOR THE ROAD TO BE COMPLETED.

SO AS YOU'RE BUILDING THE ROAD, YOU'RE NOT GOT ALL THE TRAFFIC ALL AT ONE TIME, SO THE ROAD IS GETTING COMPLETED.

AND THEN, SO THE FUTURE FUTURE, FUTURE COUNCILS ARE NOT GETTING, WHY DID YOU LET THIS? SO IT'S KIND OF, IT'S ALL LIKE CONCENTRIC CIRCLES AT THIS POINT.

SO I GUESS MY THOUGHT HERE, UM, IS, UM, AND SORT OF TO THE POINTS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN MADE, BUT IT'S ABOUT THE SLOW AND STEADY.

WE THINK YOU'RE A GOOD DEVELOPER.

WE THINK THE PROJECT'S GOOD.

UM, BUT WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO, JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MAKE IT, UM, RESPONSIBLE GROWTH, YOU KNOW, IN THE FACT THAT IT'S FIRST HOUSE DOESN'T GO OUT UNTIL 20, 24 POTENTIALLY IS ACTUALLY A GOOD THING, BUT, UM, TO BE ABLE TO ROLL IT IN, SO THAT IT'S BENEFICIAL FOR BOTH.

UM, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE SOME BIGGER CONCERNS THAT AREN'T YOUR CONCERNS, BUT THERE ARE BIGGER THINGS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO, UM, PULL, YOU KNOW, TO PUT INTO PLAY HERE AND TO GIVE US TIME, TO BE ABLE TO CATCH UP WITH SOME OF THOSE WATER ISSUES THAT WE ARE VERY ACTIVELY DEALING WITH.

AND SO IT'S FIGURING OUT A WAY, AND IF THERE'S A WAY, AND IF YOU ARE OPEN TO COMING BACK AND WORKING WITH STAFF TO FIGURE OUT SOME OF THOSE THINGS THAT WILL HELP US, UM, CONSERVE WATER IN THE LONGTERM, BUT ALSO HELP BRING YOUR PROJECT ONLINE IN A TIMELY FASHION THAT WORKS FOR YOU, BUT ALSO WORKS FOR US TOO.

I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THAT.

AND MAYBE GO BACK TO MAYBE 66 IS A GOOD NUMBER FOR THE CITY, RIGHT.

I JUST LIKE UNDER 50, RIGHT? BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON, MAYBE 66 IS, IS FOR YOUR IS DOABLE, BUT I'LL KIND OF WANT TO GET THAT SET WHERE YOU GO.

BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO SHOOT FOR NOW, FOR ME, I NEED TO, I NEED TO SAY THIS IS, THIS IS HOW THIS IS GOING TO BE PHASED IN.

I NEED THAT TO BE IN RIGHT IN THAT WAY.

YOU'RE NOT THAT YOU'RE NOT TRUSTWORTHY.

I'M JUST THAT JUST FOR ME TO BE, OH, AND EXPLAIN TO CITIZEN, UH, JUST GENERAL MORE GENERAL QUESTION.

IS THIS THE POSITION THAT THE COUNCIL WILL TAKE FOR EVERY ZONING CASE, UH, HERE ON OUT FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS, I WANT TO WANT TO GET THIS, THIS GRILLING ON EVERY, EVERY NEXT APPLICANT.

THAT COMES IN FRONT OF THIS COUNCIL FOR A WHILE IS GOING TO, UM, MAYBE NOT BE REQUIRED, BUT WE'RE GOING TO BE ASKING FOR PHASING BECAUSE THERE IS A CONCERN THAT WITH THE MARKET GOING WILD, ALL OF THESE HOUSES ARE GOING TO HIT AT ONCE AND WE OWE IT TO THE PEOPLE ALREADY HERE TO ENSURE THAT WE CAN DELIVER THAT WATER.

I MEAN, I DON'T THINK THAT THIS, I DON'T THINK THAT THIS, THESE QUESTIONS ARE GOING TO STOP COMING FROM US ANYTIME SOON, IF THAT HELPS YOU.

UM, I THINK THAT, UH, THAT IT, THAT WE WERE IN A POSITION WHERE WE JUST HAVE TO, WE HAVE TO ASK THESE HARD QUESTIONS.

WE HAVE TO FIND WAYS TO PARTNER AND, AND, UH, AND DOING THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE.

AND IN DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE EVEN BIGGER THAN WHAT YOUR, YOU KNOW, OTHER ONES THAT YOU'RE PART OF THOSE ARE THE OTHER BE REALLY TOUGH AS FAR AS HOW THAT STUFF GETS DOWN AS, AS HOW, HOW WE GO FORWARD WITH THOSE DEVELOPERS.

SO, UM, I THINK THAT IT'S, THEY'RE VERY INTENTIONAL CONVERSATIONS THAT HAVE TO BE HAPPENING BETWEEN THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY AND US AS A COUNCIL AND THE CITY STAFF, UM, LIKE SOON.

SO GIVEN THE, THE RATE OF GROWTH IN THE CITY, AS WELL AS THE CRAZINESS OF THE MARKET RIGHT NOW, YES.

I BELIEVE THAT EVERY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT

[01:55:01]

SO, UM, WHATEVER YOU ALL ARE WILLING TO OFFER IN PHASING THAT WORKS FOR YOU.

UM, WE'RE ALL LISTENING.

WE'RE READY FOR THAT.

AND I'D LOVE TO HEAR MORE ABOUT YOUR ZEROSCAPING TOO, IF YOU HAVE A PLAN FOR THAT.

UM, YEAH, I THINK THERE'S SOME OPTIONS, UH, THAT CAN, UH, HAVE A MEANINGFUL IMPACT IN OUR LITTLE CORNER.

UM, AND, UH, YOU KNOW, POSSIBLY, UH, YOU KNOW, THE DISCUSSION WITH STAFF THAT WE'RE ABOUT HAVE ON EXACTLY HOW WE CAN, UH, PUT A METRIC TO THAT SOMEHOW TO GET, TO GET YOU COMFORTABLE.

UM, I WOULD ALWAYS BE UNCOMFORTABLE HEARING A CONTROL ON PACE.

UM, YOU KNOW, UH, BECAUSE THESE, THESE GUYS ARE RESILIENT AND RESPOND TO MARKET FORCES.

UM, SO IT'S REALLY, WHAT DOES THE INDIVIDUAL UNIT DO WHEN IT'S ON THE GROUND, UH, THAT, OR, OR THE WHOLE THING AS A WHOLE TO, UH, TO IMPROVE THE WATER SITUATION.

UM, SO IS THAT, UH, THE, THE MEETING OR WE'RE GETTING BACK WITH ROSS AND POSSIBLY GINA, I SAW DOING SOME PRESENTATIONS ON WATER.

UM, IT'S YOUR TEAM, YOU'RE IN EVERYONE.

A MOTION TO ADD, DELETE A SECOND READING.

WELL, I THINK IF WE COME BACK FOR A THIRD, YOU CAN STILL, YOU CAN STILL Y'ALL, DON'T HAVE A THIRD UM, WE, WELL, THAT'S MORE FOR ROBIN.

YES, I CAN ABSOLUTELY, UH, OFFER PHASING LINES DURING THE CONCEPT PLAN.

I THINK WHAT, WHAT MR. MARK TICKNOR IS ASKING HERE IS, UM, D CAN WE SORT THIS OUT IN OUR NEXT APPLICATION? UM, LET'S CAN WE GET THE ENTITLEMENT? OH NO.

CAUSE ONCE WE GIVE YOU A TITLE, WHEN YOU GOT IT, ONCE YOU GOT THE ENTITLEMENT IT'S YOURS AND THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO.

SO YEAH.

I WANT TO BACK UP TO WHAT THE QUESTION, UNLESS YOU DO, UNLESS YOU, I'M SORRY.

I REALLY APOLOGIZE FOR INTERRUPTING.

UH, YOU WERE PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSING AN ORDINANCE OR LANGUAGE TO WRITE INTO THE ORDINANCE, UH, THAT, THAT STATED THAT WE'RE GOING TO CONTROL PACE, UM, INSTEAD OF RIGHT INTO THE ORDINANCE THAT, UM, PACE, UH, WATER-SAVING MEASURES WILL BE ASSESSED DURING THE CONCEPT PLAN, WHICH COMES BACK TO YOU.

UM, YOU'LL GET A CHANCE TO REVIEW THAT.

UM, UH, I'M TRYING TO BUILD OFF OF YOUR REQUEST.

WE'LL SEE WHAT ROBIN SAYS AT THAT POINT.

IT WOULD JUST BE A REQUEST.

WE HAVE NO REQUIREMENT FOR IT.

SO IT WOULD BE A SUGGESTION.

SO HERE'S WHERE MY RED FLAGS GOING UP.

UM, CAUSE THAT WAS A HARD NOTE TWO WEEKS AGO, RIGHT? CAUSE OF WATER.

I WANT YOU TO GET YOUR PROJECT IN, BUT I'M NOT.

ONCE I START FEELING THE PRESSURE, LIKE, WE'LL GIVE US THIS, GIVE US THIS.

THEN I START GETTING A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS.

SO WHY DON'T WE PUT YOUR FLAG DOWN? I WAS JUST, BEEN DOING THIS LONG ENOUGH NOW TO KNOW WHEN I'M LIKE, I KNOW YOU WANT IT.

I KNOW YOU WANT THOSE VITAMINS, BUT SLOW AND STEADY IS, IS BETTER HERE.

RIGHT? SO I WOULD BE COMFORTABLE POSTPONING, UH, EVEN UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING WHERE Y'ALL CAN GET ALL THAT WORKED OUT.

AND THEN IF IT WORKS PROBABLY EVEN SUPPORT AS TO WHERE I WAS LIKE, WE'RE NOT PICKING ON, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT PICKING THEM MY INITIAL NERVOUS.

BUT NO, YOU ASKED THE QUESTION.

I MEAN, BECKY, UM, COUNCIL MEMBER, ROSS SAID IT PERFECTLY, AND THIS IS, I DON'T THINK ANY OF US AND AGAIN, NOT SPEAKING FOR ANYBODY ELSE.

I DON'T THINK ANY OF US HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOUR ISSUE.

WE HAVE OUR OWN ISSUES.

AND IN ORDER TO BE FAIR, WE HAVE TO DO THIS.

WE HAVE TO SCRUTINIZE THIS.

SO WE'RE NOT PICKING ON YOU.

WE'RE GOING TO PICK ON EVERYBODY.

I, I RESPECT THAT.

AND, UM, UH, I BELIEVE I'M SPEAKING FOR THE TEAM AND SAYING THAT THAT'S ABUNDANTLY CLEAR Y'ALL Y'ALL ARE BEING TRANSPARENT AND UH, DON'T FEEL LIKE IT'S HEAVY HANDED OR ANYTHING.

UM, SO THE ASK THE TEAM IS A POSTPONEMENT.

ZEROSCAPE REQUIREMENTS, THAT'S YOU, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY LEVERAGE TO FORCE US TO DO THAT ONCE THE DESIGN.

SO, AND JUST LET ME MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND.

SO IF WE GET APPROVAL TODAY, DON'T WANT TO PUT YOU IN THE CORNER.

WE'RE JUST ASKING, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT I'M CLEAR, BUT I GET IT.

IF WE GET APPROVAL TODAY, THEN REALLY THE, THE, THE, IF WE GET THE ZONING THEN SITTING DOWN AND DOING PHASING AND AGREEING TO

[02:00:01]

AND THEN, BUT SITTING DOWN WITH CITY STAFF, FROM CREATING A PROPOSAL OF HOW WE WOULD PHASE AND, OR, YOU KNOW, CREATE ZEROSCAPE REQUIREMENTS AND WHAT THAT WOULD DO FOR THE WATER USAGE PER WATT, THAT COULD GET LOCKED IN DURING THE NEXT, NOT THE NEXT RATING, BUT IF THIS WAS JUST PUT OUT POSTPONE TO THE 12TH.

UM, LET ME LOOK.

WE'RE COMMITTED TO THE JOB.

UM, IF IT WOULD GO UP TO VOTE AND GET APPROVED TODAY, WE'D LOVE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT.

UM, IF OUR BEST CHANCES TO IS TO MOVE IT TO THE 12TH, THEN WE'RE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SIT DOWN WITH STAFF AND WORK ON, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT'S GOOD FOR YOU GUYS AND GOOD FOR US.

SO WE DO HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR AND THEN THERE'S A PERSON ASSISTANT SECOND, MS. CRABTREE, DOES THAT MOTION NEED TO BE RESTATED TO A DATE? CERTAIN I THOUGHT IT WAS, IT'S FINE.

MOTION TO POSTPONE TO THE OCTOBER 12TH, TUESDAY MEETING PRESIDIO.

CAN I HAVE ONE THING BEFORE WE TAKE A BOAT? SO THERE'S A MAJOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIKE THIS, WHAT WE JUST LOOKED AT.

AND EVEN THE PRIOR, WHAT WE JUST LOOKED AT THAT THIS FITS WITHIN THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN.

WE'RE JUST, THAT'S WHAT WE REALLY ARE TRYING HERE.

UM, WE ARE REALLY ARE TRYING, BUT THIS ONE FITS WITHIN THE CONFERENCE AND PLAN OF WHAT WE'VE SET FORWARD IN THIS AREA.

UM, SO I JUST THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE STATED HERE TOO, LIKE GOING FORWARD IF DEVELOPERS AND BUILDERS ARE LOOKING AT THINGS, THERE ARE THINGS THAT WORK IN THERE, THINGS THAT DON'T, AND THERE'S EXCEPTIONS THAT WANT TO BE MADE AND THERE'S EXCEPTIONS.

WE JUST CAN'T, WE JUST CAN'T BE MAKING THOSE ANYMORE.

SO THAT'S A BENEFIT OF THIS PROJECT IS THAT IT DOES FIT WITHIN WHAT OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SAYS SHOULD BE IN THAT AREA.

ITEM NUMBER 29, DISCUSSING CONSIDER ACTION ON THE SECOND READING OF AN ORDINANCE REGARDING ZONING CASE 20 Z 0 3 3, TO AMEND THE CURRENT ZONING OF INTERIM SINGLE FAMILY, RURAL ONE B AND INTERIM SINGLE FAMILY, SUBURBAN TO CREATE THE URBANA PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WITH BASED ZONING OF NEIGHBORHOOD, RESIDENTIAL AND LC TO A LOCAL COMMERCIAL SUBDIVISION CASE 20 CPA, 0 1 2 TO ADOPT THE URBANIK CONCEPT PLAN AND TO APPROVE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, 21 D A 0 1 0 ON SIX PARCELS OF LAND, APPROXIMATELY 18.1 ACRES PLUS OR MINUS IN SIZE, AS STATED ON THE POSTED AGENDA PLANNING DIRECTOR GRIFFIN.

THERE'S A MOTION FOR POSTPONEMENT AND A SECOND.

IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT

[29. Discuss and consider action on the Second Reading of an Ordinance regarding Zoning Case 20-Z-033 to amend the current zoning of Interim SFR-1-B (Single-Family Rural) and Interim SFS-2-B (Single-Family Suburban) to create the Urbana Planned Unit Development (PUD) with base zoning of NR-2-A (Neighborhood Residential) and LC-2-A (Local Commercial); Subdivision Case 20-CP-012 to adopt the Urbana Concept Plan; and to approve Development Agreement 21-DA-010 on six parcels of land approximately 18.1 acres ± in size, more particularly described by Williamson Central Appraisal District Parcel R032167, R366161, R432891, R432892, R336502, and R575954; and more commonly known as 13301 Hero Way West, Leander, Williamson County, Texas. Applicant/Agent: SEC Planning, LLC (Mark Baker) on behalf of Amenity Solutions, LLC (Jarrod Gaither).]

SO THIS IS THE SECOND READING OF THE ZONING REQUEST FOR THE URBANA PUD.

UM, THIS REQUEST DOES INCLUDE A CONCEPT PLAN, UM, AS WELL AS A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IS, UH, IT WAS ON THE LAST AGENDA, BUT IT'S ON THIS ONE.

UM, IT DOES INCLUDE, UH, PHASING, UH, THE RECREATION IMPROVEMENTS BEING ALLOWED IN A DETENTION POND.

IT CLARIFIES THE CALCULATION OF IMPACT FEES, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH OUR CURRENT CALCULATION.

UM, IT CONFIRMS THAT THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPER MAY CONNECT TO WATER.

THERE IS A EXISTING, UM, STRUCTURE ON THE COMMERCIAL PIECE, UM, UP IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER.

AND BASICALLY THEY'RE, THEY'RE SEEKING TO, UM, TO CONFIRM THAT HE WOULDN'T HAVE TO UPGRADE A SITE OR BE FORCED TO CONNECT.

SO IT'S REALLY JUST CLARIFYING OUR CURRENT PROCESS AND LOCKING IT IN FOR HIM.

UM, AND IT DOES PROVIDE FOR THE DEDICATION OF COTTON TRAIL.

UM, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD ON THAT ONE.

AND I'M AVAIL FOR QUESTIONS IN THE APPLICANTS.

ALSO HERE, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

IS THERE AN APPLICANT PRESENTATION ON THIS? NO.

ON THE COMMERCIAL AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO BUDGE ON THE COMMERCIAL SO THIS ONE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT WAS IN PLACE WHEN THEY STARTED THE PROCESS FOR THIS APPLICATION.

THANK YOU, COUNSEL.

NO, I MEAN, I JUST HAVE THE SAME COMMENTS THAT I'VE BEEN MAKING ON THIS ONE, WHICH ARE, YOU KNOW, THIS, IT FITS WITH THE COMMON SENSE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, BECAUSE THERE'S A MIXTURE OF BETWEEN COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL ALLOWED HERE, BUT THE PERCENTAGE OF WHICH SO ON THIS PROPERTY, UM, DOESN'T FIT THOSE THINGS.

SO I'M, I'M, I KNOW WE'RE PROBABLY GOING IN DIFFERENT DIRECTION, BUT I'M JUST GOING TO STAND MY GROUND WITH WHERE I'VE BEEN HERE ON, UH, FOCUS ON COMMERCIAL GROWTH RATHER THAN RESIDENTIAL GROWTH, EVEN IN AN AREA LIKE THIS.

I THINK THOUGH, IF IT WERE TO GO TO RESIDENTIAL IN THAT BACK PART, UM, IT WOULD DO A HIGHER WATER USAGE THAN WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING.

SO I FEEL LIKE THAT NEGATES IT.

I FEEL LIKE IT'S A TRADE OFF W W WE'RE TELLING EVERYBODY WE'RE NOT BUDGING

[02:05:01]

SO HE KIND OF WAS OPERATING UNDER THOSE STANDARDS, JUST, JUST SO YOU'RE AWARE.

AND I DO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT TONIGHT.

WE'VE SPOKEN ABOUT THAT TOO.

AND SO I WON'T SAY ANY MORE THAN JUST THE, JUST THAT.

AND I DO KNOW THAT IF WE JUST PUBLICLY THAT IF YOU BUILD THIS PROJECT, I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO DO A GREAT JOB.

THANK YOU FOR BEING FLEXIBLE.

THANK YOU FOR BEING FLEXIBLE AND EVERYTHING.

SO ROBIN, WE DO HAVE THE PARKING CHANGES THAT WE DISCUSSED LAST TIME.

MOTION TO APPROVE ALL SECOND MOTION AND A SECOND, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, ALL THOSE OPPOSED PASSES FOUR TO THREE.

[30. Discuss and consider award of solicitation S21-022 to The Goodman Corporation for professional consulting services, related to the constructing and funding of a shared parking structure to be located within the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) district, in an amount not to exceed $52,525.00; and authorize City Manager to negotiate and execute any and all necessary documents.]

ITEM 30, DISCUSSING.

CONSIDER A WORD OF SOLICITATION, S TWO ONE DASH 0 2 2 TO THE GOODMAN CORPORATION FOR PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING SERVICES RELATED TO THE CONSTRUCTING AND FUNDING OF A SHARED PARKING STRUCTURE TO BE LOCATED WITHIN THE TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $52,525, NOT THE REST CITY MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE AND EXECUTE ANY AND ALL NECESSARY DOCUMENTS, COMPLETELY UNRELATED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR.

GOOD, PLEASE COME FORWARD.

DEFINITELY UNRELATED.

THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT.

UH, SO TONIGHT WE'RE JUST GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE PROPOSAL TO GO AFTER FEDERAL FUNDING FOR OUR SHARED USE PARKING GARAGE.

UH, THE GIVEN CORPORATION IS HERE TO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS, BUT I'M JUST GOING TO GIVE YOU A QUICK OVERVIEW OF WHAT THAT PROPOSAL WOULD ENTAIL.

UH, AS YOU KNOW, WE HADN'T BEEN WORKING COLLABORATIVE WITH THE NORTHLAND DEVELOPMENT TO PROMOTE DENSITY INSIDE THE NORTHLAND DEVELOPMENT AND INSIDE THE CITY AND THE TOD AREA, A SHARED PARKING PARKING FACILITY WOULD HELP ACHIEVE THIS BY REDUCING THE SURFACE, PARKING IN THE AREA AND HELPING TO PROMOTE AN OFFICE BUILDING TO LOCATE IN EUROPE AND USE THAT SHARED USE FACILITY.

UH, IT WOULD ALSO BENEFIT USERS OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION BY LOCATING A PARKING FACILITY IN AN AREA WITH SHOPS, RESTAURANTS, ATTRACTIVE AND SAFE, WALKWAYS, ENHANCED SECURITY AND LIGHTING.

SO IT'S BETTER THAN JUST PUTTING IT IN AN EMPTY LOCATION WITH NOTHING THAT'S SURROUNDED.

IT INCORPORATES A LOT OF OTHER USES AROUND THAT SHARED PARKING FACILITY.

THIS PROPOSAL WOULD ALLOW LEANDRA TO PURSUE A PORTION OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN FEDERAL FUNDING, THAT IT COMES ANNUALLY, UH, WITH THE NEW INFRASTRUCTURE BILL.

THAT'S ONE THING THAT'S GOING TO HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON THAT, BUT THERE'S ALWAYS, UM, LARGE AMOUNTS OF FEDERAL FUNDING OUT THERE AND JUST TYPICAL BASIS.

UH, THIS PROPOSAL WOULD INCLUDE SEVERAL KEY TASKS, WHICH INCLUDE SITE SELECTION OF A SHARED PARKING FACILITY, DEMAND ANALYSIS, A LETTER OF NO PREJUDICE THAT QUALIFIES US TO GO AFTER THE FEDERAL FUNDING, THE ACTUAL PURSUIT OF THE FUNDING.

SO IT WOULDN'T BE STAFF.

IT WOULD BE THE CONSULTANTS DOING THAT, UH, CREATING FUNDING AND FINANCING STRATEGIES, AND THEN HAVING INTER-LOCAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE CITY AND ANY, UH, LOCAL PARTNERS.

UH, AS I MENTIONED, THE GOODMAN CORPORATION IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IN THIS STUDY ITSELF WOULD BE A SHARED COST BETWEEN THE NORTHLAND DEVELOPMENT AND THE CITY OF LEANDER ON A 50 50 SPLIT.

SO THEY ARE SEE THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS AND THEY'RE WILLING TO SHARE IN THE COST IF IT'S APPROVED MOTION TO APPROVE SECOND.

WELL, BEFORE WE DO THAT TOO, YEAH, GO AHEAD.

YOU FIRST.

SO THE M IS THAT 52,000, THE 50% THAT WE'RE PAYING THAT'S OUR 50% SHARE.

THAT'S CORRECT.

UM, ANY DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE, UH, UM, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT WHETHER THIS IS, HOW ARE THINGS GOING WITH THE CONVERSATION WITH THE, WHO WOULD WE PARTNER UP ON WITH THIS AND THE POTENTIAL AGREEMENT ON THE PIECE OF LAND THAT COULD BE DEDICATED TO US? SO IS THERE ANY KIND OF CONTINGENCY IN HERE WITH THAT, OR IS THERE NOT TIME FOR THOSE THINGS? JUST IF YOU CAN GIVE US AN UPDATE THERE.

UM, SO IF THIS WAS TO GO NORTH LINE, THEY WOULD MOST LIKELY HAVE TO CONTRIBUTE THE LAND TOWARDS THAT.

UH, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULD MAKE A CONTINGENCY, I BELIEVE TO BE.

THAT'S BEEN DISCUSSED FOR CITY HALL, YOU'RE LOOKING AT A HOTEL CONVENTION CENTER, YOU'RE LOOKING AT A PARKING INTERCEPT AND MAYBE A SKYWALK OR SOMETHING WITH THAT CONNECTIVITY.

EVEN WITH OUR AGREEMENT, THERE ARE POTENTIAL FUTURE AGREEMENT.

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, YEAH, I MEAN, WE'RE GOING TO PARTNER UP AND DO, WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING SOME STUFF TOGETHER.

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

ALL OF THE ABOVE, BECAUSE YOU'D HAVE THE PUBLIC PARKING COMPONENT, PARKING INTERCEPT, YOU HAVE THE HOTEL MOTEL LEGISLATION.

WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN.

YOU HAVE THE OVERLAY OF THE MUNICIPAL MANAGEMENT DISTRICT, WHICH WE WERE ALSO SUCCESSFUL IN THIS LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

AN MMD CAN SERVE AS AN FTA GRANTEE AS WELL.

SO THAT'S ONE OTHER TOOL THAT'S THAT'S AND THEN YOU'VE GOT THE TERSE THAT'S IN PLACE.

SO THAT'S TWO DIFFERENT THINGS, BUT THE NMD CAN BE AN FTA GRANTEE FOR A PROJECT, LIKE, LIKE THE GARAGE.

AND SO IF YOU WERE GOING TO DO, AND THIS IS PUTTING ON THE OTHER HAT FROM THE OTHER LIFE, AND I KNOW I SENT YOU ALL A MEMO ON THAT AS WELL AS HAVING WORKED AT THE NPO.

BUT IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE LAND DONATION POTENTIALLY FROM NORTH LINE,

[02:10:01]

UM, AND THEN YOU'RE, YOU'RE LOOKING AT ALSO THE PARADIGM AND I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK BEFORE ROBERT MIKAELIAN AND IT ROBERT SOME YEARS AGO TO HADN'T SEEN HIM IN A LONG TIME NOW, BUT, BUT I, I WILL SAY THIS.

SO ONE OF THE MOST OBVIOUS WAYS TO MATCH THAT PRO MATCH THAT PROJECT FOR FEDERAL FUNDS WOULD BE A LONG-TERM GROUND LEASE PROBABLY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 40 YEARS, UNLESS FTA HAS CHANGED THAT SINCE I GOT OUT OF THAT WORLD.

AND SO THAT COULD BE LAND VALUE MATCH THAT NORTH LINE HAS, THAT COULD BE BROUGHT TO BEAR, TO MATCH FEDERAL FUNDS FOR CONSTRUCTION.

SO I'M GOING TO STEAL ANY THUNDER, IF Y'ALL WANT TO SAY ANYTHING.

IF YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING, ROBERT, I WILL SAY FOR THE CITY HALL, WE DID HAVE A MEETING WITH NORTHLAND ABOUT A RANGE OF SUBJECTS TODAY, BUT THEY DID VERBALLY COMMIT TO THE LOI FOR CITY HALL.

IF THAT'S SOMETHING THE CITY IS INTERESTED IN, THEY GAVE US A LIST OF SOME THINGS THAT WE'RE INTERESTED IN SEEING LIKE THE LINK TO THE CODES REQUIRED IN NORTH LINE.

UH, BUT WE ARE GOING TO FOLLOW UP WITH A MEETING WITH THEM NEXT WEEK TO WORK ON THAT.

SO, RICK, IS IT YOUR, IS IT YOUR OPINION THAT WE SHOULD DO THESE THINGS SHOULD BE HAPPENING TOGETHER OR NO? I THINK WITH THE INVESTMENT CITIES ALREADY HAS AND IN NORTH LINE, AND IF YOU ALSO ADD THE POTENTIAL FOR, UH, THE PEDESTRIAN COMPONENTS ALSO BEING FEDERALIZED, IT CAN BE LOOKED AT, I BELIEVE THAT ALEX'S ARE ALREADY EXPRESSING AN INTEREST IN AND DOING THAT.

THAT WAS SOMETHING WE WERE LOOKING AT DOING WITH CAP METRO AND PARTNERING WITH THEM TO DO IT.

UH, BUT THIS CAN BE DONE INDEPENDENT OF CAT METRO, AS LONG AS THERE WOULD BE TRANSIT SERVICE THERE EITHER WAY IN OUR OUT ALL OF THOSE, UH, FACILITIES COULD BE MAINTAINED AS WELL.

SO I THINK IT, EVERYTHING IS COMING TOGETHER AT THE RIGHT TIME BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT LOOKING AT A RETROFIT, YOU'VE GOT RAW LAND AND YOU HAVE INFRASTRUCTURE COMING IN, I GUESS, TO BE VERY SPECIFIC WHEN WE'RE ENTERTAINING A MOTION ON THIS AT SOME POINT, SHOULD WE BE INCLUDING ANY TYPE OF VERGE VERBIAGE ABOUT THAT? OURS? ARE YOU JUST WORKING THAT OUT ON THE CITY STAFF? YEAH, I DO THINK THE, THIS WE'LL LOOK AT SITE SELECTION.

SO THE OPTIMIZED SITE TO PUT THE GARAGE WITH FOR THAT, I WOULD BE TWO SEPARATE THINGS SIMULTANEOUSLY, KNOWING THAT THERE MAY BE A HOTEL CONVENTION CENTER AND ALSO A CITY HALL.

I THINK SOME OF THIS WILL WORK OUT.

UH, THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR IT TO WORK OUT TOGETHER THAT, YEAH.

AND I'LL JUST SAY ONE QUICK THING, ALEX HAS BEEN A GOOD PARTNER AND NOT THAT WE NEED LEVERAGE, BUT THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE HOTEL CONVENTION CENTER, THE NMD, ALL THOSE THINGS WOULD REQUIRE CITY AGREEMENT.

SO THERE'S SO A LOT OF THINGS IN THE WORKS THAT I THINK ALEX WANTS TO REMAIN A GOOD PARTNER WITH US.

SO WE HAVE ABOUT 40 PLUS YEARS EXPERIENCE PUT NEEDS TOGETHER IN TEXAS AND THROUGHOUT CITIES JUST LIKE THIS.

UM, AND SO FIRST THINGS FIRST IS TO GET US UNDER CONTRACT.

LET US LOOK AT IT EXACTLY WHAT RICK WAS JUST SAYING.

PUT IT ALL TOGETHER.

TALK TO THE, TALK TO THE DEVELOPER, ET CETERA, COME BACK TO YOU ALL WITH MORE OF A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS OF HOW TO BEST UTILIZE THE LAND, THE DEVELOPER, ET CETERA, NOT UTILIZE DEVELOPER WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER, UTILIZE THE LAND, EXCUSE ME.

UM, TO REALLY MINIMIZE WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS MINIMIZE THE CITY'S LOCAL SHARE AND MAXIMIZE THE FEDERAL SHARE.

BUT THERE'S, THERE'S A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT WAYS WE CAN CUT IT.

PART OF IT IS, IS WORKING WITH DEVELOPER, THE CITY WHO OWNS THE LAND, ET CETERA.

AND SO W WE'LL COME BACK WITH SOME OPTIONS AND THAT'S ALL PART OF THIS STUDY TO COME BACK WITH THAT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THE STUDY IS REALLY LOOKING AT THE PARKING STRUCTURE, NOT NECESSARILY ALL THE OTHER ONES, THINGS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT TONIGHT.

YES.

MA'AM, IT'LL BE THE PARK.

IT'LL BE WHATEVER'S FEDERALLY ELIGIBLE FOR TRANSIT.

SO WE CAN LOOK AT THE PARKING STRUCTURE.

AND THEN ALSO ANY OF THE APPARATUSES THAT WOULD SUPPORT THE PARKING STRUCTURE, LIKE SOME WALKWAYS OR WHATEVER WOULD BE AROUND THERE THAT WOULD BE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WOULD INVEST IN.

SO THE FEDS SAY THAT, YES, YOU KNOW, WE'LL PAY FOR SIDEWALKS UP TO THE PARKING GARAGE, ESPECIALLY IF THERE'S A, THERE'S SOME SYNERGY INVOLVED WITH IT WITH THIS NEW CITY HALL, ET CETERA.

I KNOW THIS IS NOT TIED TO CAP METRO RICK BRIGHT, BUT YOU, FOR THE FEDERAL FUNDING, YOU DO NEED SOME KIND OF TRANSIT, CORRECT? YES.

MA'AM, YOU'LL NEED A COUPLE OF THINGS.

YOU'LL NEED PRESENCE OF TRANSIT AND THEN AN FTA GRANTEE.

AND AS RICK HAD ALLUDED THAT THE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT CAN BECOME AN FTA GRANTEE AS COULD THE CITY BECOME AN MTA GRANTEE AS WELL.

THE CAT METRO DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT AUTHORITY.

NO, SIR.

IT WOULD BE ADVISABLE THAT THE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT WOULD DO THE FTA GRANTEE.

STANDPOINT, IF THE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT IS ASSESSING THE PROPERTY OWNERS, SO THAT'S, THAT'S NOT HITTING CITY TAXPAYERS, THAT'S, THAT'S ITS OWN OVERLAY OVER THE 115 ACRES IN NORTH LINE.

THAT'S T W WE SEE THAT A LOT WHERE A MANAGEMENT DISTRICT WILL COME IN AND I MEAN, IT'S A POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF THE STATE AND CONVENIENT MTA GRANTEE.

THE CITY CERTAINLY CAN AS WELL.

THERE'S JUST, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST A MATTER OF, WE CAN COME TO YOU LATER AND GIVE YOU THOSE PROS AND CONS OF THE CITY OR THE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT EITHER WAY.

IT SERVES THE SAME, BUT FROM AN, FROM AN ADMINISTRATIVE

[02:15:01]

UM, THAT'S, THAT'S AN ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTION THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO TRACK.

AND IT'S VERY HYPER-FOCUSED IF YOU LOOK AT SEVERAL OF THE, THE HIGH VALUE DISTRICTS ACTIVITY CENTERS WITHIN SOME OF THE OTHER, UM, COMMUNITIES, LET'S JUST TAKE SOMEWHERE LIKE UPPER KIRBY OR UPTOWN HOUSTON, UH, THOSE ARE SOME OF THE HIGH VALUE DISTRICTS THERE.

THEY HAVE BOTH, USUALLY A TERS A MANAGEMENT DISTRICT THAT ACTUALLY IS ACTING AS AN FTA GRANTEE AND A SERIES OF, UM, OF FEDERALLY FUNDED PROJECTS.

UH, ROBERT, AT THIS POINT, WHAT IS UPTOWN UP TO 60, 80 MILLION OF CAPITAL, A HUNDRED MILLION AT THIS POINT, PROBABLY.

SO THAT GIVES YOU A FLAVOR.

THE HIGHER THE DENSITY GOES, THE MORE POTENTIAL THERE IS, UH, WITH THAT PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE TO ACTUALLY CAPTURE FEDERAL FUNDS.

CORRECT.

AND THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS DISCUSSION IS TO SORRY ABOUT THAT IS TO, UM, VOTE, TO APPROVE THIS STUDY TO HAPPEN SO THAT WE CAN SEE WHAT PLANS ARE AVAILABLE AND, AND FEDERAL FUNDING, FEDERAL FUNDS COULD BE AVAILABLE.

YES MA'AM.

AND I WOULD THINK OF IT AS A STUDY SLASH DISCUSSION, YOU KNOW, EDUCATION, ET CETERA, YOU KNOW, BRINGING, BRINGING THE, I WOULDN'T SAY BRINGING THE DEAL, BUT AT LEAST AT LEAST FORMING SOMETHING FOR THE CITY TO, TO, TO REALIZE IT.

AT SOME POINT, I THINK THIS $50,000 INVESTMENT IS A VERY SMALL DROP IN THE BUCKET FOR THE MONEY THAT COULD BE AVAILABLE TO US.

THAT'S, THAT'S THE, THAT'S THE IDEA.

SO THERE'S A MOTION AND A SECOND, ANYTHING FURTHER, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

[31. Discuss and consider action on nomination for representative member of the Board of Directors of the Williamson Central Appraisal District.]

I AM 31.

DISCUSS AND CONSIDER ACTION ON NOMINATION FOR REPRESENTATIVE MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE WILLIAMSON AND CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE POWERS HAS AN OVERVIEW THANK YOU, MAYOR.

UH, THIS IS THE CALL FOR NOMINATION.

SO NO ACTION IS REQUIRED.

YOU'RE NOT REQUIRED OR, OR REQUIRED TO MAKE ANY NOMINATIONS TO MY TIME'S UP, BUT NOMINATIONS ARE DUE OCTOBER 15TH.

SO WE DON'T NEED TO TAKE ANY ACTION ON THIS.

YOU CAN JUST SHAKE YOUR HEAD OR NOD.

WE'LL TRY THIS.

YOU, YOU'RE NOT REQUIRED TO TAKE ACTION, BUT IF A TAXING ENTITY WANTS TO MAKE A NOMINATION FOR SOMEONE TO SERVE ON THE BOARD, THEY HAVE TO BE IN TO THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT BY OCTOBER 15TH.

UM, AT THAT TIME, THEN THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT WILL SEND OUT THE BALLOT, UH, FOR ALL THE TAXING ENTITIES TO VOTE ON.

UH, AT A LATER LATER MEETING, THERE WERE FIVE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

NOW THAT I HAVE MY VOICE BACK A LITTLE BIT.

AND, UM, THIS HAPPENS EVERY, EVERY TWO YEARS.

YOUR VOTES, EACH TAXING ENTITIES VOTES ARE DISTRIBUTED BASED ON YOUR, UM, PERCENTAGE OF ASSESSED VALUE IN THE, UH, AND TAXING, UH, LEVY IN THE, IN THE COUNTY.

SO, UM, WE'RE A SMALL PLAYER WHEN IT COMES TO, UM, BEING COMPARED TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS, BUT, UM, EVERY ENTITY GETS THE CHANCE TO VOTE.

OKAY, PERFECT.

UM, WE'VE AT LEAST I'VE ONLY SEEN ONE EMAIL COME THROUGH OF ANYBODY WHO WAS INTERESTED AS ANYBODY ELSE HEARD ANYONE INTERESTED.

I WAS ACTUALLY JUST LOOKING FOR THAT EMAIL TOO.

IT WAS JUST THE GUY.

I'M SURE WE ALL GOT THE SAME LINE.

UM, IS IT OKAY FOR US TO JUST NOMINATE THAT PERSON NOW? WELL, YOU, YOU WOULD HAVE TO DO IT.

UM, THEN YOU COULD DO IT ON OCTOBER 12TH AS WELL.

UH, THAT WOULD BE IN TIME BEFORE THE OCTOBER 15TH DEADLINE.

IS IT OKAY TO JUST GET IT OUT OF THE WAY NOW AND NOT HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT EVER AGAIN? YEAH, IT IS COMPLETELY UP TO YOU.

AND, AND MANY TIMES WE DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH THIS AGAIN.

WE WANT IT OVER WITH, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO VOTE.

YOU CAN JUST TAKE NO ACTION AND BE DONE.

IS THAT YOUR RECOMMENDATION? WE DO NOT GET INVOLVED IN THE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD SO MANY TIMES IT'LL COME EVERY TWO YEARS AND YOU HAVE THE SAME PROCESS WITH THE NEXT YEAR.

YOU'LL HAVE TRAVIS COUNTY, THE SAME PROCESS.

THEY JUST SOLVED TO ME.

THEN I WILL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE NOMINATE HOPE

[02:20:01]

SO JASON IS SHAKING HIS HEAD ALREADY.

SO A COUPLE OF THINGS.

AND ON OUR CONSTITUTION WEEK, I WOULD LIKE TO CALL ATTENTION TO THIS LITTLE POCKET DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.

UH, I'VE HAD THIS SINCE I THINK 20, 20 10, AND IT COMES IN HANDY, BUT I ALSO, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GETTING ONE AND, UH, KEEPING IT ON YOUR PHONE.

THERE'S AN APP THAT'S VERY HANDY.

SO IF YOU'RE EVER WONDERING ABOUT SOMETHING ON THE CONSTITUTE IN THE CONSTITUTION, JUST LOOK IT UP, KEEP IT WITH YOU.

UM, ANOTHER THING IS, UH, LAST MONDAY, MR. POWERS WAS ALWAYS ALREADY GONE.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO CHRIS SIRNA AND, UH, MR. POWERS, WHO IS NOT HERE.

UM, THIS EVENING HE'S ALREADY GONE HOME, BUT THE THREE OF US ALONG WITH, UH, ONE OF OUR COMMITTEE MEMBERS, ANDY ICE, UH, HAD A FABULOUS TIME AT THE LANDER CHAMBER CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT.

AND WE DID NOT COME IN LAST.

WE DID NOT LOSE.

AND IN FACT, WE CAME IN, I HAD OF MEETING A LOWER SCORE THAN THE OTHER CITY SPONSORED TEAM.

SO IN THAT RESPECT WE WON.

SO I'M HAPPY ABOUT THAT.

THAT'S ALL HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.

CONGRATULATIONS.

THANK YOU PLEASE.

I ALSO HAVE TWO ITEMS. I JUST WANTED TO REITERATE WHAT COMMANDER FULLER WAS TALKING ABOUT TODAY.

SO PUT, PUT IT ON YOUR CALENDARS.

NOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A YEARLY CELEBRATION.

HE DID SAY THAT I'M JUST REITERATING IT.

AND I WANTED TO ALSO SAY THAT, UM, SEPTEMBER MID SEPTEMBER IS NATIONAL HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH.

AND I KNOW IN LEANDER, WE DON'T DO ANYTHING FOR HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH, BUT JUST WANTED TO CALL IT OUT THAT IT'S NATIONAL HERE, HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH.

WELL, MY TURN, I WAS HOPING HE WOULD WAIT 25 MORE SECONDS BECAUSE IN 25 MORE SECONDS, IT'S MY MOM'S BIRTHDAY.

SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM.

LUCKY.

UM, JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALL OUR MILITARY PERSONNEL AND ALSO OUR VETERANS THAT ARE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

THEY'VE WORKED REALLY HARD IN THE PAST OR ARE WORKING HARD NOW TO KEEP US SAFE AND WE APPRECIATE ALL THEY DO.

SO THANK YOU.
