ALL RIGHT, ITEM

[8. Staff Reports Public Works Update]

I'M GUESSING WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT WATER.

YES, .

GOOD EVENING, MR. GRIMS BOW.

UH, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNSEL, DAN GRIMS, BOW, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF INFRASTRUCTURE.

AND, UH, THAT'S THE SOUND OF MONEY YOU'RE HEARING RIGHT THERE, SO, ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE IF I CAN.

SO, UM, I'M HERE TO GIVE A UPDATE ON THE, UH, WHERE WE ARE WITH THE, UH, RAW WATER LINE FOR THE B C R U A.

SO THIS WAS A, I ADDED A FEW, UH, PHOTOS, BUT THIS WAS BASICALLY THE PRESENTATION THAT WAS PROVIDED TO THE B C R A BOARD, UM, AT, AT THAT TIME ACTUALLY.

SO A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY, UM, WHEN THE RAW WATER LINE WAS INSTALLED.

AND YOU CAN SEE THAT NOVEMBER 11TH, UH, THE FIRST, UH, FAILURE OCCURRED, UH, DECEMBER OF 2020, ALMOST AT CHRISTMAS.

IT TOOK, UM, A PERIOD OF TIME TO FIX LIKE FIVE MONTHS, UM, TO FIX IN IT, CUZ IT'S, WE'VE DISCUSSED IT BEFORE.

IT WAS, IT'S A COMPLICATED, NOT ONLY PIPE, BUT LOCATION AND, UH, LOGISTICS AND JUST GETTING THE PARTS.

UH, SO, UM, WE STARTED IMMEDIATELY, UM, AFTER THAT THE DESIGN FOR THE REPLACEMENT, UM, THROUGH TO MAKE THE REPAIR OF THE, THE LINE THAT'S, UH, UM, COM BEEN COMPROMISED, IF YOU WANNA SAY POTENTIALLY.

SO, UM, IN AUGUST WE HAD A SIGNIFICANT LEAK AND, UM, SO BECAUSE THE, UH, REPAIR THAT WAS DONE THE FIRST TIME, UM, WAS DONE THE BEST THAT THEY COULD AT THE TIME, UM, OF GETTING THE PARTS AND THE, AND THE EQUIPMENT THAT THEY WERE USING, THE BARGES AND SO FORTH, UM, WE DECIDED WE'D GO AHEAD AND DO A FULL REPAIR.

AND SO A AGAIN, IT WAS, UM, FULLY REPAIRED.

AND THEN THIS PAST FEBRUARY, UM, THE PIPE, UH, DID FAIL AGAIN AT THAT LOCATION.

OKAY, SO, SO I'LL SPEND A MOMENT ON THIS.

THIS IS, THIS IS THE REPAIR SECTION BETWEEN THE TWO GREEN LINES AND YOU CAN SEE THE ORIGINAL PIPE.

SO IT'S COMING FROM THE BARGE, UH, TO THE, UH, UH, B C R A PLANT.

AND YOU'VE SEEN THAT PICTURE WHERE I'VE SHOWN YOU INTO THE LAKE GOING UP THE HILL.

SO WHAT HAPPENED WAS, THIS IS WHERE IT FAILED AND, AND YOU'RE SEEING TWO VIEWS FROM THE TOP AND THEN FROM THE SIDE, UM, SA SAME, SAME LOCATION.

AND WHAT HAPPENED WAS, UM, AND YOU'LL SEE SOME PICTURE OF THIS, BUT THIS IS AT THE MEGA LUG JOINT RIGHT HERE, AND THE PIPE LITERALLY PULLED AWAY FROM THAT.

AND SO IT SEPARATED COMPLETELY RIGHT THERE.

WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE IS ALL THE REPAIR CONSISTED OF WAS RE REPLACING THAT AND THE FLANGE THAT GOES WITH THAT, ALL THIS IS STILL IN PLACE.

SO ALL THIS WAS REPLACED WHEN WE HAD THAT MAJOR LEAK AND IT CAME IN AND PUT IN A DOUBLE BALL JOINTS AND THEN A DOUBLE BALL JOINT RIGHT HERE WITH THE, WITH THE BARREL SO WE COULD HAVE EXTENSION.

AND THEN THEY PUT IN ALSO THESE EXTRA SUPPORTS LOCATED HERE AND HERE.

AND THEN THESE EXTRA SANDBAGS OR GROUT BAGS LOCATED HERE, UM, THEY KEEP IT ALL STABLE.

UM, SO, SO THAT'S WHAT WHAT WE HAD INITIALLY.

SO WHY DID IT FELL? WELL, RIGHT NOW THERE'S NO, UM, REAL SMOKING GUN.

IT IS A REPAIR, UM, PER SE.

IT'S KIND OF THE, THE, THE WEAK LINK THERE.

ALTHOUGH IT, IT WAS, IT WAS HARD AND PRETTY WELL.

SO THESE ARE THE FACTORS THAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT.

WAS IT A MECHANICAL JOINT? UM, WAS IT THE ACTUAL MEGA LUGS DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH, UM, HOLDING POWER?

[00:15:01]

UM, RIGHT NOW IT'S ALMOST 30 DEGREES, WHICH IS PRETTY SIGNIFICANT.

SO WHEN WATER CHANGES DIRECTION, UM, YOU CAN GET EXTRA FORCES.

UM, AND THAT'S WHY FIRE HYDRANTS AND STUFF HAVE THRUST BLOCKS UNDERNEATH THERE BECAUSE WHEN, WHEN THEY ALL OF A SUDDEN HOOK THE HOSE UP AND LET THE WATER GO, IT THRUSTS THRUSTS THE BACK.

AND THAT'S WHY YOU PUT THOSE DEVICES IN TO KEEP THE WATER HAMMER FROM DAMAGING THE, THE PIPES.

SO HYDRAULIC FORCES OR WHAT WE CALL WATER HAMMER AND THEN SYSTEM OPERATIONS.

DID WE OPERATE THE PLANT IN A MANNER THAT WAS MAYBE CONDUCIVE TO CAUSING, UM, SUCH WATER HAMMER, UM, LEADING TO A POTENTIAL FAILURE? UNFORTUNATELY, AGAIN, IT'S A REPAIR AND THE PIPE WAS ALSO COMPROMISED, SO IT COULD BE ANY COMBINATION OF THESE, OF THESE ITEMS. SO, SO WHAT ARE WE, AND IT'S, AND, AND JUST SO WE KNOW, UM, BY THE NEXT SLIDE, IT'S ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED, BUT WHAT DID THEY DO? SO AT THE REPAIR, OF COURSE, THEY CUT SIX INCHES OFF AND THEY ADDED NOT ONLY THE ORIGINAL, WELL NOT THE ORIGINAL, BUT A NEW ONE.

THEY ADDED A DOUBLE, WHAT THEY CALL A DOUBLE MEGA, UH, MEGA LUG, AND THEN A TRIPLE ONE WITH, UM, UM, EXTENDED TIE RODS.

SO ESSENTIALLY THAT'S LIKE THREE SUSPENDER BELTS IF YOU'RE HOLDING YOUR PANTS UP INSTEAD OF JUST THE ONE IF YOU WANT TO SAY.

AND WHAT THEY DID ON THIS SIDE IS THEY ALSO, UM, DOUBLED UP, UH, EVEN THOUGH THIS DIDN'T HAVE ANY INDICATIONS, THEY WENT AHEAD AND DOUBLED UP THIS SIDE.

UM, WITH THE MEGA LUGS, THAT'S QUITE A BIT OF, THAT'S QUITE A BIT OF FORCE ON THERE.

AND, AND YOU'LL UNDERSTAND THAT HERE IN A MINUTE.

THIS, THIS IS KIND OF A PICTURE OF, OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

SO, OH, AND I DIDN'T BRING MY PROP AND I SHOULD HAVE, SO THIS TIES IN, THIS IS LIKE A BELT GOING AROUND THE PIPE AND THE, AND THE BLANK HOLES YOU SEE ARE WHAT TIES TO THE FLANGE.

SO RIGHT HERE, THERE'S A FLANGE THAT'S CONNECTED THAT RIGHT THERE, AND YOU'LL SEE THAT IN PICTURE.

AND WHAT THESE DO IS THAT THESE ARE ESSENTIALLY SNUG TO THE PIPE AND THEY, THEY TIGHTEN IT ALL THE WAY AROUND, UM, AND IT LITERALLY HOLDS IT IN PLACE.

AND YOU'LL SEE THAT HERE IN THE NEXT, IN THE NEXT SLIDE.

SO THIS IS THE SIX INCHES THAT WE CUT OFF.

AND YOU CAN SEE THAT'S ONE OF THE MEGA LUGS RIGHT THERE THAT GO INTO THAT, TO THAT, UH, IF YOU WANT TO CALL BELT.

AND WHEN THEY, WHEN THEY TWIST ON THE TOP OF IT, IT EXPANDS AND TIGHTENS THE BELT UP.

AND THAT EXPANSION, THE BELT IS SOLID STEEL, SO IT'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

SO THE, THE TIGHTER THEY MAKE IT, THE MORE IT GRIPS TO THE PIPE.

WELL, WHAT HAPPENED WAS, UM, YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE, THERE IT WAS, AND IT LITERALLY, UM, IF YOU SAW IT IN PERSON, IT WAS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE.

BUT LITERALLY 24 OF THESE LARGE MEGA LUGS WERE TIED ONTO HERE AND THEY SLID THE, THE FORCE WAS IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THEY LITERALLY SLID ACROSS THERE ALL THE WAY AROUND THE PIPE, ALL 24.

SO THE PIPE INDICATES THAT IT'S, THAT THAT INDICATED THAT THE MEGAS WERE PUT ON, RIGHT? SO THIS IS A MEGA LUG.

SO THAT'S THIS BLUE SECTION.

AND WHAT IT IS, IS THAT IF, IF YOU LITERALLY HAD LIKE MY BELT AND I PUT IT IN HERE AND I TWISTED IT BACKWARDS, THE BELT WOULD GO OUT FURTHER AND FURTHER AND THIS IS WOULD TIGHTENED AGAINST ME.

WHAT'S THE SAME THING? SO THAT THAT'S, THERE'S A BELT AND YOU'LL SEE IT.

SO THE NEXT SLIDE, THERE IT IS.

SO THIS IS THE PIECE THAT BIG BELT THAT GOES AROUND THE PIPE, AND THEN THESE BLUE SECTIONS GO INTO RIGHT HERE AND THEY'RE REVERSE THREADED.

SO THE RULE YOU LEARN IN A MACHINIST MADE SCHOOL IS RIGHTY, TIDY LEFTY LOOSEY.

SO, UM, YOU KNOW THIS WHEN, IF YOU, IF YOU GO RIGHT, IT, IT'S COMING OUT LIKE IT'S LOOSENING, BUT WHAT IT'S DOING IS IT'S ACTUALLY DOING THE RIGHT THING BECAUSE IT'S EXPANDING AND MAKING A SEAL TIGHTER AND TIGHTER ON THE PIPE ON THE TOP.

IT HAS GOOGO, UM, DEVICE ON IT.

SO WHEN THE TORQUE, WHEN WHEN THEY KEEP TORQUING IT AND THEY GET TO THE POINT WHERE THE, THE, THE, THE NUT ON THE TOP SNAPS OFF, THEN IT'S TORQUE, RIGHT? SO THEY DON'T NEED TO TORQUE IT ANYMORE.

SO IT HAS A GO NO GO TORQUE ON IT, UM, FOR THAT VERY PURPOSE.

SO YOU DO THAT EVENLY ALL THE WAY AROUND, MUCH LIKE YOU DO A TIRE, YOU KNOW, YOU DO A STAR PATTERN TO ENSURE THAT YOU GET IT PUT ON EVENLY AND THEY GO AROUND AND THEY TORQUE ALL THE BOATS BOTH FOR THE FLANGE AND THIS IS THE FLANGE THAT IT HOOKS TO.

SO, SO BOLTS GO THROUGH HERE AND THEY CONNECT THAT TO THE FLANGE AND THE KNEES CONNECT HERE WITH SEAL TO THE PIPE.

THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, THAT

[00:20:01]

AND THEN THIS WOULD CONNECT TO THE PIPE WITH THAT MEGA LUG, CONNECT IT TO THE ACTUAL PIPE RIGHT HERE.

SO THE REPAIR IS ACTUALLY COMPLETED.

UH, WE'RE NOW ACTUALLY FILLING THE 36 INCH RAW WATER LINE AND STARTING TO PLAN UP.

UH, THIS WAS KIND OF THE, THE PROCESS THAT WE WENT THROUGH.

UH, WE ANTICIPATED TWO TO THREE WEEKS AND, AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE ON KIND ON TRACK FOR MAYBE JUST A SLIGHTLY LESS THAN A COUPLE WEEKS.

UM, BUT THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE'RE AT.

AND SO IT'S, UH, IT'S, UH, IT WAS QUITE A, IT'S, IT'S THOSE, THOSE THINGS WORK PRETTY DARN WELL.

SO, UM, THAT'S ALL I HAVE AS FAR AS, UM, WELL, WHAT WE'RE, WHAT WE'RE GONNA TRY TO DO IS, UM, ONCE THEY MAKE THIS REPAIR GLOBAL, WHO, WHO'S MAKING THE REPAIR IS GONNA DO INITIALLY, UM, WELL A DAILY GO DOWN THERE WHEN IT FIRST STARTS UP ALMOST BY THE HOUR OR DAILY.

AND THEN THEY'RE GONNA SWITCH TO, UH, KIND OF A WEEKLY AND THEN MONTHLY UNTIL THEY LEAVE, WHICH IS WHEN THEY FINISHED THEIR WORK IN OCTOBER.

AND THEN WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO BRING SOMEBODY ELSE ON.

BUT THEY DID A LOT OF MEASUREMENTS SO WE CAN REPRODUCE IF THE PIPE'S MOVING OR NOT.

SO WE CAN TELL THAT.

SO THEY TOOK A LOT OF MEASUREMENTS TO DETERMINE THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

AND IF SOMEONE TAKES OVER OR IF WE GO DOWN HERE AND WE TAKE THE MEASUREMENT AND IT'S DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE INITIALLY HAD, THEN WE KNOW THE PIPE MOVED.

UM, AND THAT'S THE SECOND ONE WE'RE GONNA COORDINATE, UM, UH, WITH THE, UH, WATER TREATMENT PLANTS TO TRY TO MINIMIZE FLOW.

WE'RE GONNA BASICALLY TRY TO PUT THE PLANT IN, UH, STABILIZED OR IF YOU WANNA SAY STEADY STATE CONDITION.

AND THEN THE LAST ONE IS, UM, AGAIN, WE'RE STILL MOVING AHEAD WITH, UM, THE REPLACEMENT LINE, WHICH IS SHOULD BE DONE.

UH, WE'RE LOOKING AT FEBRUARY AND MARCH OF 24.

THAT SHOULD BE GOING OUT FOR BID.

THE LONG LEAD ITEM, OF COURSE, IS THE PIPES.

IT, IT MIGHT TAKE SEVEN OR EIGHT MONTHS TO GET THE MATERIAL.

AND THEN, UM, UM, SOON AS THEY GET IT, THEY'LL START PUTTING IT TOGETHER.

AND THEN WE NEED TO DO THE Y CONNECTIONS, WHICH WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE THE PLANT DOWN FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, WHICH NEEDS TO BE DONE IN THE WINTER.

UM, SO WE CAN THEN CONNECT THAT PIPE INTO THE SYSTEM, THAT 1500 LINEAR FEET OF LINE.

SO, AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS THEY'RE PUTTING Y CONNECTIONS IN THERE, SO YOU'LL ESSENTIALLY CONNECT THE NEW LINE TO THE ONE PART OF THE Y AND THEN THE OLD ONE WILL BLANK OFF.

BUT IF WE'RE GONNA LEAVE THE OLD ONE THERE IN CASE ANYTHING HAPPENS TO THE NEW ONE, WE, WE DO HAVE KIND OF A REDUNDANT LINE THERE THEN.

SO IT ONLY BUT MAKES SENSE.

SO I THINK WITH THAT, UM, THAT'S ALL I HAD.

IF THERE'S ANY, ANY QUESTIONS, COUNSEL.

ALL RIGHT, NO ONE DAY WE'RE JUST GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT THE DEEP WATER INTAKE AND THAT'S ALL.

SO WE'LL BE GOOD.

YES, GOOD EVENING.

GOOD EVENING, MS. ELLISON.

HI.

I JUST HAD A QUICK UPDATE ON, UH, THE TWO BRUSH DROP OFF EVENTS AND THEN, UH, CITY MANAGER MICHAEL UPDATE ON THE, UH, CURBSIDE SERVICE AND HOW THAT'S GOING.

SO, AS YOU KNOW, WE HAD TWO EVENTS FEBRUARY 11TH AND FEBRUARY 18TH.

UM, WE SERVICED, UH, 1,921 VEHICLES AND COLLECTED ALMOST ACTUALLY OVER 12,000 CUBIC YARDS OF, UM, A BRUSH.

SO, UH, ALL THAT BRUSH WAS MULCHED AND HAULED EITHER TO CITY PARKS OR TO THE RECYCLING CENTER.

SO NONE OF IT WENT TO THE LANDFILL.

AND THIS COST THE CITY ABOUT 36,000 BETWEEN THE MULCHING EQUIPMENT AND THEN, UM, ALSO THE HAUL OFF FROM CLAWSON.

AND THEN THE SECOND PICTURE ON THE BOTTOM IS, IS A LOT OF THE WORK THAT THE PUBLIC WORKS CREWS DID, UM, KIND OF CLEANING UP THE RIGHT OF WAYS AFTER THE STORM.

AND THEY COLLECTED 68 TONS OF TRASH, I'M SORRY, NOT TRASH, UM, DEBRIS.

UH, AND SO THIS IS KIND OF WHAT, UM, THE PROCESS LOOKED LIKE.

SO THIS FIRST ONE WAS OUR, WAS THE, UH, THE FIRST EVENT WAS OUR BIGGER OF THE TWO EVENTS.

WE SERVICED ALMOST 1100 CARS THAT FIRST EVENT.

UM, SO THAT'S THE MULCH PILE LEFT AFTER THAT.

AND IN THE WEEK AFTER, UM, IT WAS LOADED INTO THESE MULCHERS BY, UM, AUSTIN WOOD RECYCLING AND KIND OF GET THESE PILES HERE DOWN ON THE END.

AND EITHER THEY WERE HAULED OFF OR THEY WERE PUT IN IN THESE DUMPSTERS.

SO THIS PHOTO'S FROM THE SECOND EVENT WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE MULCH FROM THE ORIGINAL EVENT WAS KIND OF AT LEAST CLEARED OFF SO WE COULD, WE COULD GATHER IT AGAIN.

UM, AND THAT'S, THAT'S ALL I HAVE ON ON THAT IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, GINA.

THANK YOU MS. ELLISON.

OKAY.

IS THAT IT FOR ITEM EIGHT?

[00:25:01]

ALL RIGHT.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, GRIFFIN.

GOOD EVENING.

GOOD EVENING.

THIS IS, UH, A PUBLIC HEARING FOR A ZONING REQUEST LOCATED TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE INTERSECTION OF RONALD REAGAN BOULEVARD IN COFFMAN LOOP.

UM, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT CALLED THE BAR W RANCH EAST COMMERCIAL PUT.

UM, THIS DEVELOPMENT HAS THREE BASE ZONING DISTRICTS, THE SFT, SINGLE FAMILY TOWNHOUSE DISTRICT, MF MULTI-FAMILY AND GC GENERAL COMMERCIAL.

UM, THIS PROPERTY IS PART OF THE WYER PROJECT THAT HAS A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, UM, THAT'S BEEN IN PLACE SINCE AT LEAST 2008.

AND WITH THAT AGREEMENT, THEY ESTABLISHED CERTAIN ENTITLEMENTS, WHICH INCLUDES THE LAND USES.

THEY DID HAVE, UM, MULTI-FAMILY AS PART OF THOSE ENTITLEMENTS ON THE WEST SIDE OF RONALD REAGAN, AND THEY WERE ABLE TO MOVE IT TO THE EAST SIDE.

THEY DID A SWAP FOR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, SO THEY'RE KEEPING THE SAME AMOUNT OF DENSITY THAT WAS APPROVED AT THAT ORIGINAL AGREEMENT.

SO IN THIS SITUATION, THE UM, WATER RESOLUTION IS NOT IN PLAY CUZ THEY ALREADY HAVE THOSE ENTITLEMENTS IN PLACE.

UM, THIS REQUEST WAS REVIEWED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, UM, DURING THE JANUARY 12TH, UH, MEETING.

UM, DURING THAT MEETING, THEY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST AND WE HAD A PRETTY LONG DISCUSSION ABOUT THE DRIVEWAY LOCATIONS.

THEIR REQUEST WAS THAT THE DRIVEWAYS WERE THE THIRD DRIVEWAY WAS REMOVED AND WE ONLY LOCKED INTO, AND THEY ALSO, UM, REQUESTED THAT THE RESIDENTIAL BUILDING HEIGHT WAS LIMITED AT 55 FEET.

AFTER THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING, WE DID HAVE MEETINGS WITH THE, THE APPLICANT, WITH OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, AND WE CAME TO AN AGREEMENT ABOUT THE DRIVEWAYS.

WE AGREED TO THE, THE THIRD DRIVEWAY.

UM, THEY'RE GOING TO DO A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS AND WITH THAT ANALYSIS IT COULD CHANGE HOW THE, UM, DRIVEWAY FUNCTIONS.

SO THAT MEANS THERE MIGHT BE A MEDIAN OR IT MIGHT BE RIGHT IN RIGHT OUT.

UM, BUT THEY'LL HAVE THE DRIVEWAY.

IT'S JUST ONCE WE LOOK AT THAT TRAFFIC, IT MIGHT CHANGE HOW IT WORKS.

AND BOTH THE CITY AND THE APPLICANT WERE AGREEABLE.

SO STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST.

UM, WITH THE, THE PUT IN FRONT OF YOU, YOU HAVE, UH, A RED LINE THAT INCLUDES THAT NEW EXHIBIT WITH THE DRIVEWAYS.

UM, IT ALSO HAS A CLARIFICATION ON THE GARAGE REQUIREMENT AND IT UPDATED THE MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT FOR RESIDENTIAL TO 55 FEET.

AND I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AND THEN THE APPLICANT IS ALSO HERE TO MAKE A PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING.

GOOD EVENING.

JULES KANE.

I'M A LAND DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANT WITH ARM BRIS AND BROWN, AND I HAD A WHOLE PRESENTATION PREPARED, BUT ROBIN DID AN AWESOME JOB.

WE DIDN'T COMPARE NOTES, BUT SHE PRETTY MUCH COVERED EVERY, EVERYTHING I WAS GOING TO.

SO TO SAVE TIME, UM, I'LL JUST LET IT LET Y'ALL ASK ANSWER QUESTIONS, BUT WE DO HAVE OUR WHOLE DEVELOPMENT TEAM HERE, SO WE'VE GOT OUR ENGINEER TEAMS, IF YOU HAVE ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS.

THANKS.

OKAY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ALL RIGHT.

THE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN OUR CALL ON SPEAKERS WITH SUBMITTED CARDS AND READ ANY POSITIONS, READ INTO THE RECORD FOR ANYBODY WHO JUST WANTED IT READ IN AND DIDN'T SIGN UP TO SPEAK.

UM, I DO HAVE ONE PERSON SIGNED UP AND THAT IS ALAN HANSEN.

GOOD EVENING.

MR. HANSEN, PLEASE GIVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS INTO THE MICROPHONE AND YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES.

MM-HMM.

.

MY NAME IS ALAN HANSON, 40 12 DUVAL STREET, AUSTIN, TEXAS.

UM, I'M THE DIRECTOR OF THE COMMERCIAL DIVISION FOR BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY HOME SERVICES, TEXAS REALTY.

AND I'VE BEEN ASKED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE TRACK.

CAN WE HAVE THE DEVELOPMENT BACK UP ON THE SCREEN? I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT.

IS THE AREA NO.

OR DO YOU LIKE THE ZONING? NO, BACK TO THE, YOU CAN LEAVE IT RIGHT THERE.

UH, I'VE, I'VE BEEN ASKED TO, UH, REPRESENT MR. HARRELL AND, UH, AND MR. GREER WHO OWNED THE TWO TRACKS, AND I'M HOPING I'M PUSHING THE RIGHT BUTTON.

OOPS.

IS THERE A, YOU PUSH, UH, THIS TOP BUTTON FOR

[00:30:01]

THERE YOU GO.

OKAY.

THE TWO TRACKS THAT ARE, THAT ARE RIGHT HERE AND THESE TWO TRACKS, UH, ADJOINED, THE, THE DEVELOPMENT, THE 51 ACRES, AND IF YOU WILL, THE, THE ROAD THAT BACKS TO THEM IS COUNTY ROAD 2 68.

THAT ROAD IS NO LONGER BEING FUNCTIONAL.

IT IS AN EXIT, BUT IT GOES THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

UH, MR. GREER LIVES IN THE TRACK THAT I'M POINTING TO RIGHT HERE WITH THE POINTER.

UH, AND, AND MR. HARRELL HAS OWNED THIS ONE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

WE'RE ASKING THE CITY, THE COUNCIL TO DELAY ANY ACTION ON THIS BECAUSE THE DEVELOPERS HAVE NOT PROVIDED FOR ANY ACCESS TO THIS PARTICULAR, UH, TO THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY THROUGH THEIR DEVELOPMENT.

IT'D BE, IT'D BE AN EASY FIX TO COME BACK OUT TO KAUFMAN ROAD.

THIS PARTICULAR TRACK IS NOW ZONED WITH THE CITY C1.

THAT'S A NEIGHBORHOOD.

THIS WAS ORIGINALLY PLANNED TO BE COMMERCIAL AND IT'S BEEN REVISED NOW, UH, TO MOVE MULTI-FAMILY FROM THE EAST SIDE.

SO YOU CAN HAVE COMMERCIAL ON THE WEST SIDE.

I GET THAT.

BUT IT'S NOT PROVIDING FOR ANY ACCESS TO THIS C ONE ZONED PROPERTY RIGHT NOW.

THERE NEEDS TO BE ACCESS ALONG THIS ROADWAY BETWEEN THE NEIGHBORS BACK TO KAUFMAN.

SO WE WOULD ASK TO ALLOW US TO WORK WITH CITY PLANNERS, WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PLANNERS TO EXPAND THE ROAD THAT'S ON THAT IN ORDER FOR THEM TO GET TO THEIR PROPERTY SO THEY CAN USE IT FOR THE PURPOSE THAT THE CITY HAS ALLOWED IT TO BE.

I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU.

SO I'M JUST ASKING FOR DELAY.

THANK YOU.

AND WE CAN'T HAVE IT BACK AND FORTH DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WE CAN CALL YOU UP AFTER.

THANK YOU.

UH, IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE WHO WISH TO SPEAK? ALL RIGHT.

UH, PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.

WE'LL NOW DISCUSS AND CONSIDER ACTION REGARDING ZONING CASE Z 20 2021 AS DESCRIBED PREVIOUSLY, COUNSEL.

SO, UM, JUST KIND OF IN REGARDS TO THAT, ROBIN, YOU CAN PROBABLY HELP US THAT, THAT TRACK TO THE, TO THE EAST, THAT'S COUNTY.

IS IT NOT? THAT'S NOT IN THE CITY LIMITS.

IF, IF IT'S THE, I THINK HE WAS POINTING TO THE GREEN, BOTH OF THOSE.

YEAH.

SO THAT'S ZONED, UM, INTERIM SINGLE FAMILY RURAL.

SO IT IS IN THE CITY.

IT'S IN THE CITY, YES.

OKAY.

SO THE C1, WE DON'T HAVE A C1 CATEGORY.

OKAY.

YEAH.

OUR ZONING DISTRICT IS S F R.

SO IT WAS JUST ANNEXED AND AUTOMATICALLY JUST CORRECT.

OKAY.

THAT'S, THAT'S CORRECT.

SO REALLY THERE'S NOT BEEN ANY ENTITLEMENTS, IT'S JUST BECAUSE IT WAS ANNEXED.

CORRECT.

GOTCHA.

THANK YOU.

WELL, WHILE YOU'RE THERE, DO YOU HAVE ANY FEEDBACK OR FOR US AS FAR, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'M HEARING OF ANYTHING ON THAT PARTICULAR PARCEL.

HAVE WE HAD ANY DISCUSSIONS THERE? IS THIS THE FIRST TIME IT'S COMING? TH THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE, I'VE HEARD THEIR CONCERNS ABOUT THAT PIECE.

AND HAS ANYBODY FROM THE DEVELOPER TEAM HAVE HEARD ANYTHING AS FAR AS ELK'S CONCERNS? BECAUSE YEAH, NO, WE, AND WE ACTUALLY HAD A ZOOM CALL WITH ALL FIVE OF THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS EARLY ON IN THE PROCESS AND DIDN'T HEAR ANY, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'RE HEARING OF THIS CONCERN.

ANY REASON WHY THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE'RE HEARING THIS MICROPHONE, PLEASE.

SORRY.

JUST TRYING TO COVER OUR BASIS RATHER THAN JUST, WE'VE JUST BEEN BROUGHT IN AS A CONSULTANT TO, WITH THE OWNERS JUST RECENTLY.

AND IT WAS IMMEDIATE TO US THAT THAT WAS A, A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR THEM BECAUSE THE ACCESS ON 2 86 IS NOT GOING TO BE THERE.

IT'S NOT A MAINTAINED COUNTY ROAD.

SO THE ONLY ACCESS THAT THESE, THESE PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE IS BACK THROUGH, UH, THROUGH, THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THROUGH SIENNA.

AND, UH, SO IT, IT'S JUST BEEN BROUGHT ON.

BUT, UH, I DO KNOW ONE OF THE OWNERS HAS BEEN GOING THROUGH A CONTENTIOUS DOMESTIC SITUATION, AND THAT MAY HAVE BEEN PART OF THE DELAY ON HIS PART, BUT WHEN, ONCE WE HAD A CHANCE TO SEE IT, I JUST, I SAID, PLEASE, LET'S JUST SLOW THINGS DOWN.

WE CAN WORK THIS OUT.

I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU.

OF COURSE.

I'M NOT FOLLOWING EXACTLY HOW THEY'RE LOSING ACCESS TO THEIR PROPERTY.

UH, WELL FIRST OF ALL, THIS, AND I, AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN MOVE THIS OVER, BUT THIS IS THE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S BEHIND MM-HMM.

, THE ONLY ACCESS TO THESE PROPERTIES IS ALONG 2 86, WHICH IS A COUNTY ROAD.

MM-HMM.

, THE COUNTY ROAD IS DEAD END.

IT DOES NOT GO TO KAUFMAN.

THE COUNTY ROAD IS NOT BEING MAINTAINED BY THE, THE COUNTY AND THE DEVELOPERS EVEN KNOW THIS BECAUSE IN THEIR DEVELOPMENT PLAN, THEY'RE PUTTING THEIR RETENTION POND AND THEIR PARKS ALONG HERE CUZ THEY ARE NOT GOING TO ACCESS THIS.

BUT THEY'RE NOT TAKING AWAY COUNTY ROAD 2 68 CORRECT.

IT, THEIR

[00:35:01]

IT YOU YOU ARE, YOU ARE CORRECT.

SO I'M, I'M STILL STUCK ON HOW THEY'RE LOSING ACCESS.

WELL, BECAUSE IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE IF, IF I'M UNDERSTANDING YEAH.

THE WAY I'M UNDERSTANDING IT, THEY'RE GONNA HAVE THE EXACT SAME ACCESS THAT THEY HAVE NOW, WHICH IS THROUGH THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

IF I COULD, IF WE COULD SHOW A BROADER MAP, IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL.

ARIEL'S BACK.

BINGO.

I HAVE A FLASH DRIVE, BUT I HATE TO YEAH, I THINK THIS WOULD GIVE YOU AN IDEA.

YOU, YOU CAN SEE THAT, UH, THIS IS THE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S BEHIND, AND THIS IS THE COUNTY ROAD.

IF WE, IF YOU'LL THINK ABOUT IT, THAT'S THE ONLY ACCESS POINT INTO THEIR PROPERTIES.

UH, THAT'S, THAT'S, THIS IS THE TRACK.

THESE ARE THE TRACKS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

THE COUNTY ROAD DEAD ENDS.

IT DOES NOT ACCESS, IT'S BEEN BLOCKED OFF BY THE MUD FROM THAT DEVELOPMENT WHERE THERE'S NO ACCESS TO KAUFMAN ANYMORE.

SO ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS WITH THIS PROPERTY EITHER WOULD HAVE TO COME OFF OF, OFF OF KAUFMAN, WHICH WE DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO, OR IT WOULD HAVE TO COME OFF OF GOING THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH YOU DON'T WANT A COMMERCIAL TRACK TO GO THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD OR, AND THERE'S, OR IT WOULD HAVE TO COME OFF OF, OFF OF THE COUNTY ROAD, WHICH AGAIN IS DEAD ENDED AND IS, I'M ASSUMING, I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE COUNTY, THEY'RE GOING TO ABANDON THAT ROAD.

IT'S NOT BEING MAINTAINED.

WHERE DOES IT DEAD END AT KAUFMAN? UH, DO YOU HAVE AN OVERHEAD? NO, I'M LOOKING AT GOOGLE.

OH, OH, AT KAUFMAN.

BUT IT CONNECTS TO REAGAN, IT COMES BACK.

IT COMES BACK TO REAGAN.

BUT IT'S, IT'S, THERE'S NO LIGHT, THERE IS NOTHING AT THAT, AT THAT POINT, AT THAT JUNCTURE RIGHT THERE.

THAT REALLY IS A DEAD END SPOT.

SO I CAN'T SPEAK FOR ALL OF COUNCIL, BUT MY OWN OPINION, FROM WHAT Y'ALL ARE TALKING ABOUT, NOTHING IS CHANGING ON THE ACCESS.

AND IF THEY WANT A ROAD THERE THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN UP WITH THE DEVELOPER, THAT'S NOT, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S A COUNCIL ISSUE.

SO I'M SEEING THE SAME THING.

THERE'S NO, THERE'S NO CHANGE.

THIS DEVELOPMENT IS NOT CHANGING ANYTHING TO DO WITH THOSE TWO TRACKS.

AND IF THE CURRENT ACCESS IS THAT, THAT COUNTY ROAD AND THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD IS NOT WHAT IS IN QUESTION.

THE THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD IS NOT WHAT IS IN QUESTION.

RIGHT.

AND IF IT CONNECTS THROUGH TO, TO RONALD REAGAN, THEN AGAIN, IT DOESN'T CHANGE.

I'M ASSUMING THEY, THE THE PEOPLE THAT YOU'RE REPRESENTING LIVE THERE, THEY, THAT'S THEIR HOMES.

ONE OF THEM LIVES THERE, THE OTHER ONE DOES NOT.

OKAY.

SO IS THERE A HOME THERE? THERE IS.

OKAY.

UM, IS AND IS SOMEONE LIVING IN THE HOME? THE, THE GENTLEMAN WHO OWNS IT LIVES IN THE HOME.

OKAY.

SO I I I MEAN I JUST, I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY THE PROCESS, BUT I, I DON'T SEE ANYONE TAKING AWAY ACCESS TO SOMEONE'S PROPERTY.

UM, AND I'M NOT, I'M NOT SEEING THE CORRELATION BETWEEN THIS WHAT IS UP FOR DISCUSSION TONIGHT.

AND, AND THE TWO PROPERTIES THAT YOU REPRESENT ARE REPRESENTING THE, THE ONLY THING THAT I, I SENSE IS IF YOU'RE PLANNING, IF YOU'RE PLANNING ON APPROVING THE ZONING CHANGE, AT LEAST ASK, I'M ASKING MM-HMM.

, UH, NOT SUGGESTING BUT ASKING TO DELAY TO LET US WORK WITH A DEVELOPER TO EXPAND.

THEY HAVE A ROADWAY THAT IS IN THE BACK ALONG, WHAT ARE THEIR TOWN HOMES GOING OUT TO KAUFMAN THAT ADJOINS OUR PROPERTY, BUT THEY'VE BLOCKED IT WHERE THERE'S NO ACCESS POINTS.

HOW HAVE THEY BLOCKED IT? IT, WITHIN THEIR PLAN THEY HAVE TREES AND A AND A BERM.

THERE'S NO ACCESS INTO THE STREETS COMING IN.

SO IF WE CAN GET A CONCURRENCE THAT THERE'S GONNA BE ACCESS FROM THAT.

THAT'S FAIR.

THAT DOESN'T HELP YOU DOESN'T YEAH, I, I HAVE A COPY OF THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN, BUT THEY DIDN'T, THEY DIDN'T BRING THAT BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T COMPLETED THE PLANNING ON THE PROPERTY TO PRESENT TO THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT FINAL PLANS, UH, TO PRESENT BEFORE YOU'RE, THEY'VE ASKED FOR A ZONING CHANGE AND WE WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH THEM SO WE CAN HAVE ACCESS FROM THOSE PROPERTIES.

I THINK IT'S FINE IF YOU WANT TO TRY TO WORK WITH THEM, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA BE SLOWING DOWN THEIR PROCESS AFTER ALL THE WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE ALSO TOO.

AND IT'S ALREADY BEEN DELAYED BEFORE COMING HERE.

CORRECT.

SO, UM, SO, BUT THEY'RE RIGHT THERE IF YOU WANNA TALK TO THEM AFTER THE HEARING.

YEAH, I THINK THAT THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S FAIR ENOUGH.

AND IF THERE'S SOMETHING, SOME WAY, I THINK THAT YOU'RE MOST CONCERNED ABOUT WHATEVER THE FUTURE USES IN THE FUTURE, ACCESS FOR WHAT THEY COULD DEVELOP THE PROPERTY HAS, RIGHT? MM-HMM.

.

CORRECT.

AND SO, I MEAN, YEAH, I DON'T, I DON'T, I DON'T, I'M, I'M, I'M AGREEING WITH WHAT THE REST OF COUNCIL SAID SO FAR AND THANK YOU MR. HANSEN.

YEAH.

DOES STAFF HAVE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS ON, ON, OR REASSURANCES THAT WE CAN GIVE JUST VERBALLY THAT THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A PROBLEM? I DON'T KNOW HOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SAY THAT.

I DON'T THINK WE CAN.

[00:40:01]

YEAH, BUT I MEAN, AS FAR AS HAVING ACCESS TO A PROPERTY, WHAT IS THAT? THEY'RE, THEY'RE, YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT ACCESS NOW? HE'S CONCERNED ABOUT FUTURE ACCESS.

YEAH.

AND WHAT THEY'RE GONNA BE PUT IN IF THEIR PROJECT, FUTURE PROJECT COULD TIE INTO IT AND IF IT, IF IT, IF IT WORKED TOGETHER.

SO THEIR ACCESS, SO THAT WOULD BE DEALT WITHIN THE FUTURE.

WELL HE'S, AND AND THEY JUST SEE THAT THERE'S A ZONING CASE COMING BEFORE US RIGHT NOW, SO IF THEY COULD EXCUSE MY LANGUAGE RIGHT NOW, BUT IF THEY COULD PIGGYBACK OFF THIS THING AND THEY COULD DO IT TOGETHER, IT MIGHT BE BENEFIT.

IF, IF WE COULD WORK TOGETHER, IT WOULD BE BEST.

THAT'S, AND THE CITY COULD HELP US TO HELP PLAN THE ACCESS.

CUZ THOSE ACCESS POINTS, THEY JUST DEAD IN ON THEIR PROPERTY AND THEY COULD COME ALL THE WAY.

THEY, IF THEY ALLOWED IT TO COME ALL THE WAY THROUGH, EXPAND THE ROAD, THAT WOULD BE THE KAUFMAN DRIVE BEHIND THEIR TOWN HOMES.

IT WOULD GIVE US THE ACCESS BACK TO KAUFMAN THAT REALLY WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM FOR EVERYONE.

FOR US.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT DOES FOR THE DEVELOPER, BUT I DON'T THINK IT HARMS THEM.

YEAH.

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS TO US.

YES.

OKAY.

THANK YOU MR. HANSON.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

UM, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR MS. KANE.

HEY THERE.

SORRY, I JUST WANTED TO DOUBLE CHECK THE POD THAT'S IN FRONT OF US THAT COVERS ALL THE CONCERNS, UM, THAT WE TALKED ABOUT WHEN YOU MET WITH STAFF, RIGHT? YES.

LIKE THIS IS, NOTHING HAS CHANGED SINCE THAT LAST CONVERSATION, CORRECT? JUST MAKING SURE THAT THIS, THERE WAS NO HOLDOVER STUFF FROM P AND Z THAT OKAY.

NO, NO.

AND ROBIN AND ALL, ALL THE STAFF'S BEEN GREAT TO WORK WITH, SO WE'RE GOOD.

OKAY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

COUNSEL.

ANYTHING ELSE? NO.

SO WE'RE BEING ASKED TO, TO LOOK AT THIS WITH THE COUPLE CHANGES THAT HAPPENED AFTER THE P AND Z MEETING.

THAT, SO THAT'S WHAT'S IN THE PUD NOW, CORRECT? IS THE CHANGES WITH THE RED LINE, RIGHT? MM-HMM.

.

OKAY.

MOTION EVIDENCE.

OKAY.

SO I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE WITH THE PUT UPDATES.

I'LL SECOND MOTION AND SECOND IS THERE FURTHER DISCUSSION.

ALL RIGHT.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT.

ITEM NUMBER 16 HAS BEEN PULLED FROM THE AGENDA DUE TO A POSTING ERROR AND THE APPLICANT IS MAKING CHANGES MOVING

[17. Discuss and consider action on a Resolution ratifying the City Manager entering into an agreement with TFR Enterprises, Inc. in the amount not to exceed $500,000.00 for brush debris removal services following Winter Storm Mara.]

ITEM 17, DISCUSS AND CONSIDER ACTION ON A RESOLUTION.

RATIFYING THE CITY MANAGER ENTERING INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH T FFR ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED IN THE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $500,000 FOR BRUSH DEBRIS REMOVAL SERVICES FOLLOWING WINTER STORM.

MARA, CITY MANAGER, BEVERLY HIGH TECH, HAD TO PUSH A BUTTON.

SO, UH, WANTED TO GIVE Y'ALL, UH, BEFORE Y'ALL FORMALLY RATIFY OR CONSIDER FOR RATIFICATION, THE CONTRACT HAVE ALREADY EXECUTED ON BRUSH PICKUP, KNOWING THAT WITH WHAT RAIN THAT JUST CAME MAYBE, BUT WE HAVE MORE BRUSH TO PICK UP NOW.

UH, JUST A QUICK OVERVIEW OF WHERE WE'RE AT.

SO, UH, THE MAYOR'S DECLARATION OCCURRED ON JANUARY 31ST.

UM, WE DID THINK, AND I KNOW WE DID ACT BEFORE SEVERAL OF THE OTHER CITIES AROUND US AND IN THE COUNTY, UH, WE DID THAT FOR GOOD REASON, UH, ALSO TRYING TO MAKE SURE WE'RE RECOVERED IN THE EVENT OF, UH, A LARGER DISASTER THAT WE NEEDED TO CLEAN UP AND ALSO BE ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT.

UH, COUNSEL EXTENDED THAT JUST A LITTLE BIT OVER A WEEK LATER.

UM, DURING THAT TIME, WE'RE ALREADY IN, UH, DOING RESEARCH, UH, BOTH ON THE LEGAL SIDE AND JUST THE PRICE SIDE AND, UH, WHAT ENTITIES WERE AVAILABLE AND ALSO WHAT OUR CAPABILITIES WERE WITH OUR CURRENT SOLID WASTE PROVIDER.

UH, CLAWSON.

UH, THE, ON THE 16TH, Y'ALL APPROVED THE, UH, AGREEMENT TO MOVE FORWARD THE RESOLUTION, AND WE HAD ACTUALLY TWO BRUSH EVENTS ON THE 11TH AND 18TH.

AND AS I'VE MENTIONED BEFORE, UH, HAVING WORKED A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT HURRICANES AND THE, AND THE CLEANUP THEREAFTER, IT'S REALLY AN ALL HAND SITUATION.

IT'S EVERYTHING YOU CAN DO IF YOU HAVE THE MEANS TO GET IT OUT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THAT'S ACTUALLY IN THE, THE END OF THE DAY.

WE'RE CLEANING UP PRIVATE PROPERTY THE END OF THE DAY.

SO WE ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT NOT EVERYBODY CAN, BUT IF YOU CAN GET IT OUT, UH, WE APPLAUD THE CITIZENS FOR, UH, COMING OUT ON THOSE TWO EVENTS.

THERE'S TWO, THERE'S THREE PYRAMIDS OUT THERE NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE GIZA, UH, AT THE PUBLIC WORKS YARD.

JUST TO LET Y'ALL KNOW, UH, OR I'VE SAID IT MAY BE MOUNT RUSHMORE.

THE, ON THE 23RD I EXECUTED A CONTRACT NOT TO EXCEED 500,000 AND T FFR WHO IS LOCAL, IS WORKING.

THEY'VE ALREADY BEGUN THEIR, UH, THEIR ACTIVITIES WITH CLEANUP AND, UH, THE WAY WE, THE WAY WE DID EXECUTE THAT CONTRACT, IT IS PER CUBIC YARD.

SEVERAL OF THE OTHER CITIES, YES, THEY, THEY MOVED, THEY MAY HAVE MOVED QUICKER WHEN THEY SIGN IT, BUT WE WERE TAKING A MEASURED APPROACH.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET IT ALL DONE OVERNIGHT.

WE WANTED ENOUGH TIME FOR FOLKS TO PUT IT OUT.

WE WANTED TO BE ABLE TO MAKE ONE, HOPEFULLY ONE, MAYBE TWO RUNS DEPENDING ON THE, THE SITUATION, UH, FOR SMALLER DEBRIS,
