WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.000 >> Okay. It is 9 o'clock and we have a quorum so call to order the public utilities board 00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:14.680 for the City of Denton on Monday, February 27th, 2023. The first item is anybody from 00:00:14.680 --> 00:00:24.280 the public who wants to address the PUB board? Nope. Okay. Moving along. Consent agenda. 00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:30.600 Does any board member wish to pull an item A through D? Okay. Seeing none, do we have 00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:35.800 a motion to approve items A through D on the consent? 00:00:35.800 --> 00:00:37.160 >> Move approval. 00:00:37.160 --> 00:00:38.160 >> Second. 00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:40.520 >> Okay. All in favor say aye. 00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:41.520 >> Aye. 00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:48.720 >> All right. Consideration for approval of the February 13th, 2023 minutes. Do we have 00:00:48.720 --> 00:01:00.880 a motion to approve? Moves and a second? Okay. All in favor say aye. 00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:01.880 >> Aye. 00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:21.140 >> All right. The next item is PUB23046. 00:01:21.140 --> 00:01:24.880 >> All right. Good morning, Madam Chair, members of the board, Seth Garcia, program manager 00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:30.200 with capital projects. This morning I have a brief presentation for construction inspection 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:37.240 services associated with the 2019 bond program. So for a quick little overview of the projects 00:01:37.240 --> 00:01:42.760 we're proposing for this bond program or for the inspection services, excuse me. So we 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:48.120 have 14 projects within our street reconstruction. That's our neighborhood program. Roughly 10 00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:53.920 CSP projects and four CMAR projects. We're estimating it to be around $150 million in 00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.920 construction. And our goal is to complete all these neighborhood projects by the end 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:03.460 of 2026. And on the right there you can see the different areas shaded and then the highlighted 00:02:03.460 --> 00:02:08.380 street segments associated with the street reconstruction of the bond program. The second 00:02:08.380 --> 00:02:13.640 main project we're proposing for these inspection services is Bonnie Bray Phase 6. So this is 00:02:13.640 --> 00:02:19.440 a local government-led project, which means we have FHWA or federal highway funds associated 00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:25.200 with the project. So it's a joint project with TxDOT. It is estimated to be 30 plus 00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:30.340 million in construction costs. And it is a two-year construction project. And for those 00:02:30.340 --> 00:02:35.000 who aren't familiar, Bonnie Bray Phase 6 is the section of two-lane and four-lane roadway 00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:41.480 right now in between US 380 and US 77. And we will be upgrading it to a four-lane divided 00:02:41.480 --> 00:02:50.240 roadway. So for the contract summary, you can see there our estimated cost for the street 00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:55.160 rehabilitation portion is just at $6 million. There's a little bit better breakdown in 00:02:55.160 --> 00:03:01.400 the AIS. And then for Bonnie Bray Phase 6, we've got a $2 million estimate on that. It 00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:06.120 will be funded through the 2019 bond funds and utility funds. And then as you can see 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:11.680 there, Bonnie Bray Phase 6 does have those FHWA funds attached to it as well. For the 00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:17.640 summary of services, so we will expect construction inspection and full documentation from this 00:03:17.640 --> 00:03:23.560 firm. They will also be responsible for SW3P inspections to make sure they're in compliance 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:29.340 with our watershed group as well. Pay application review, schedule review. Of course, public 00:03:29.340 --> 00:03:34.660 engagement for anybody who lives out there on the project sites. And then dispute support. 00:03:34.660 --> 00:03:39.920 And as you can see on Bonnie Bray Phase 6, we also will have some pretty intensive record 00:03:39.920 --> 00:03:47.160 keeping. TxDOT requires quite a few of their own forms to be filled out each month as well 00:03:47.160 --> 00:03:53.520 as the pay application to be done by the municipality and submitted for payment. So that is quite 00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:59.600 an effort. And so we will have a dedicated record keeper as well as multiple inspectors 00:03:59.600 --> 00:04:05.640 for that TxDOT procedure process. So in total, we're looking for just over an $8 million 00:04:05.640 --> 00:04:12.040 NTE. So with that, Steph recommends adoption of the ordinance with the City of Denton and 00:04:12.040 --> 00:04:17.920 consular engineers in the not to exceed amount of $8 million. And I'm happy to answer any 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:18.920 questions. 00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:26.400 We've done projects like this before. I don't recall that we've ever hired someone to do 00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:30.120 inspections and things of this nature. What's different about this? 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:34.600 Yes, ma'am. So right now the need is just the sheer volume of work that we're putting 00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:40.840 out. So right now we're going to have seven projects in construction. One of the larger 00:04:40.840 --> 00:04:47.000 projects that we brought forward was Southeast Denton Package B. It was $21 million over 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:53.800 15 months. So that breaks down to a burn rate of about $1.3 million a month. And right now 00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:58.800 that contractor has eight crews working and we're taking down four streets at a time. 00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:04.080 So with that, our inspections group just doesn't have the capacity to handle the need right 00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:10.180 now. So by allowing us to use our pre-qualified construction inspection list, we can get them 00:05:10.180 --> 00:05:15.840 to focus on other CIP jobs as well as the development jobs and kind of sync up this 00:05:15.840 --> 00:05:20.160 firm with the bond program to give them some consistency with what we're needing. 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:25.040 Would it be fair to say we're trying to double up and catch up? 00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:31.320 I would say yes, as well as provide the coverage needed just to support the city from a risk 00:05:31.320 --> 00:05:38.660 level, just to have people out there monitoring that it is being built to spec, watching testing 00:05:38.660 --> 00:05:42.720 being done. Of course, reviewing those pay applications and schedule. It's more of a 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:45.960 protection on the city side to make sure we're not getting behind. 00:05:45.960 --> 00:05:53.520 Was there some reason to think that you needed this as was there some concern that things 00:05:53.520 --> 00:05:58.560 in the past maybe not have been done exactly as you wanted? 00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:03.280 There has always been that concern. And as well, I think this ties back more to staffing. 00:06:03.280 --> 00:06:08.760 So we actually pulled this firm from our pre-qualified list. So we pre-qualified five different firms 00:06:08.760 --> 00:06:13.560 and shortlisted them to do it. We saw this coming just with the amount of work that our 00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:18.080 group was pushing out for the bond program. It was simply just going to be too much for 00:06:18.080 --> 00:06:22.960 our internal inspections to handle. But yes, on the flip side of that as well, 00:06:22.960 --> 00:06:27.440 we have been burned by other contractors before and things not being built. So like I said, 00:06:27.440 --> 00:06:31.240 this provides more protection for the city to make sure we're getting what we're paying 00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:33.240 for out there. Thank you. 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:39.160 Other questions? Yes, sir. 00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:47.520 Good morning. Just a couple of questions. Was this planned at the time of the 2019 bond 00:06:47.520 --> 00:06:52.760 or has this been realized as a necessity after the bond moved forward? 00:06:52.760 --> 00:06:58.360 So the original plan was we were going to use our internal staff as much as we could. 00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:03.760 We provided to council many supplementals to try and beef up our internal inspection 00:07:03.760 --> 00:07:09.840 staff and we were granted a few positions. So that has got us by through the first three 00:07:09.840 --> 00:07:15.280 projects for that program. So we've had three CSPs go out that our internal crews 00:07:15.280 --> 00:07:20.120 have inspected. But like I said, now with these CMAR, these larger projects going out 00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:26.560 to where we've really rung out all the efficiencies in the schedule, it's just become too much. 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:31.720 So budget wise, we have planned for that in our budget. We've carried 3.5% through all 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:37.040 of our projects for these construction inspections. When I did the rough breakout, it looks like 00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:42.880 with what the firm is proposing, we're going to be right around 3.8%. So we're just a 00:07:42.880 --> 00:07:49.160 hair higher. But that is, of course, if we hit our projection, we use all of that. They 00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:56.160 will only bill as hours used against these contracts. So hopefully by the time we get 00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.920 to the end of 2026, we will come in right at our budget. 00:07:59.920 --> 00:08:07.920 And then the winners of the CMAR and CSP contracts, they have their own QC processes and they're 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:17.680 like in this case, if all goes well, CONSOR will just be routing, doing final inspections 00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:21.720 and routing the as-builts and so forth, right? 00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:26.640 Yeah, that's correct. So our specifications lay out some pretty stringent QC processes. 00:08:26.640 --> 00:08:32.400 So they are there to observe and report to either the project manager or in this case, 00:08:32.400 --> 00:08:36.720 the manager of the inspections department is kind of the route, the organizational chart 00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:41.680 that it will flow through before it comes to the project manager. But you're absolutely 00:08:41.680 --> 00:08:47.360 correct. It's to catch things that we can, but more just observation through that period. 00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:55.240 Any more questions? All right. Do we have a motion to approve? 00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:56.240 I move approval. 00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:02.800 I'll second. I'm going to have just a couple of comments. So this is obviously a critical 00:09:02.800 --> 00:09:09.800 component of any major project. Having QC and it's great to have a second firm or us, 00:09:09.800 --> 00:09:21.080 you know, the city QC, the construction teams. So that, you know, what is it? Trust but verify, 00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:24.400 right? Classic one-liner. 00:09:24.400 --> 00:09:29.560 And I just want to make sure that going forward, these are either, you know, when we issue 00:09:29.560 --> 00:09:35.400 bonds, the 2019 bond isn't unique. We every three to five years have a new bond project 00:09:35.400 --> 00:09:42.520 and do major infrastructure work in town. So either we move this in house, which requires 00:09:42.520 --> 00:09:51.320 permanent staffing, $8 million over a couple of years, probably higher 30 or 40 headcount. 00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:56.160 And I could see how that would seem like a massive expansion to city resources. But it 00:09:56.160 --> 00:10:02.400 might be more effective going forward than having contractors. Or if we're going to use 00:10:02.400 --> 00:10:10.640 contract labor as we go forward, then we just make sure that in the 2024 bond or whatever 00:10:10.640 --> 00:10:16.560 the next one's coming, that, you know, that's just budgeted and clear. And like I said, 00:10:16.560 --> 00:10:21.040 this is critical work. We have to make sure what we ask for gets built, that it's built 00:10:21.040 --> 00:10:26.160 to specification, that we track everything, that we as built and the, you know, whatever 00:10:26.160 --> 00:10:31.380 else, all that processing so that the next time we revisit these streets in 20 or 30 years, 00:10:31.380 --> 00:10:37.440 we have really good, accurate records and we know they're built to quality and so forth. 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:41.560 And if I recall the 2019 reconstruction was fairly aggressive. 00:10:41.560 --> 00:10:47.920 It is. And we've even gotten more aggressive due to city management's direction. So it's 00:10:47.920 --> 00:10:48.920 very aggressive. 00:10:48.920 --> 00:10:56.800 All right. We had a motion and a second, right? Okay. Any further discussion? All in favor, 00:10:56.800 --> 00:10:57.800 say aye. 00:10:57.800 --> 00:10:58.800 Aye. 00:10:58.800 --> 00:11:01.960 Thank you. Thank you so much. 00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:04.040 Management reports. 00:11:04.040 --> 00:11:09.200 Madam Chair, so we have a couple of reports for you. The first one that we have is really 00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.920 a response to a question we have from member Ryback. I know he's not here, but David Brown's 00:11:13.920 --> 00:11:18.560 going to come up and just walk through a very quick couple of slides that he has to address 00:11:18.560 --> 00:11:22.480 these amendments associated with this project. 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:30.400 Let me get this set up. 00:11:30.400 --> 00:11:57.760 Well, let me see here. Yeah, I had this lined out. Yeah. Yeah, I don't want the full. I'm 00:11:57.760 --> 00:12:00.600 twitching over here trying to go over there and help him. 00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:06.400 Oh, there you go. Hey, I appreciate it. Thank you. I'm David Brown. I'm project manager 00:12:06.400 --> 00:12:11.960 for water utilities. I want to go over Hicker Creek basin contract amendments. There's amendments 00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:16.920 to the contract that we want to discuss and kind of give you insight to it. So basically 00:12:16.920 --> 00:12:22.420 the original contract amendment one and two and three were for the design bid and construction 00:12:22.420 --> 00:12:26.840 phase services for the Hicker Creek detention facility, West Peak flow station and Hicker 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:31.000 Creek lift station. So I'll just kind of tell you what those were. I don't know if you remember 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:35.840 that or not, but the Hicker Creek detention facility, which is here on right here, it's 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:43.540 a three million gallon tank. Basically it's a parking lot for the sewer system or a pantry. 00:12:43.540 --> 00:12:49.480 It's not used yet. And that's probably odd how to talk about a pantry, but it parks it 00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:56.800 there until the wastewater facility that pecan Creek can treat that. So basically it mitigates 00:12:56.800 --> 00:13:02.120 the high flows during rain, rain events. So that's what that's for. The second picture 00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:07.700 here is a Hicker Creek lift station. What it is, it is a 11 million gallon per day new 00:13:07.700 --> 00:13:12.320 lift station replaced a 40 year old lift station there. That is our largest lift station in 00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:17.080 the system at wastewater for the wastewater system in the city of Denton. And that's down 00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:21.420 there off of Teasley right across from Geyer high school in the back there. And then the 00:13:21.420 --> 00:13:28.920 last picture is our West peak flow pump station at pecan Creek. It's right there as you enter 00:13:28.920 --> 00:13:35.360 into the wastewater reclamation plant on the left. It is a new pump station, which is similar 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:39.860 to the Hicker Creek detention facility. What it does, it takes flows off of our Cooper 00:13:39.860 --> 00:13:47.000 and pecan Creek interceptors. And what it does, it says, you know, basically, it allows 00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:52.680 us to pump additional flows during wet weather over to our basin. So basically it parks it 00:13:52.680 --> 00:13:57.520 there when the plant can handle it. Then we push through and go ahead and treat the water 00:13:57.520 --> 00:14:02.280 there. So it adds capacity. Both of those, the detention facility and the West peak flow 00:14:02.280 --> 00:14:09.880 adds capacity without a big cost on the as far as the plant. The plant's able to treat 00:14:09.880 --> 00:14:14.600 a lot of stuff, a lot of wastewater throughout the day, just at certain times and then peak 00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:21.160 flows, we need to hold it till a time that we can do it. So that's what the regional 00:14:21.160 --> 00:14:26.920 contract amendment one, two, and three were. So then we went to amendment four over at 00:14:26.920 --> 00:14:32.560 the Hicker Creek detention facility, which is over at off a country club road there. 00:14:32.560 --> 00:14:37.000 Right for right after you get to the railroad tracks, there was a crossing that we need 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:42.960 to do with a water line coming from the neighborhood just to the north of there where we tied into 00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:49.440 potable water. We needed water over at the detention facility. So originally this contract 00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:57.800 or this design was in 2015. And when it started KCS, they upgraded some of their design standards. 00:14:57.800 --> 00:15:05.720 So we needed to do an amendment to meet their design standards. Amendment four, of course, 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:11.320 these were handling also Hicker Creek lift station was on this contract as well. So we 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:20.040 had some delays out there at the Hicker Creek lift station. One of them was a catastrophe 00:15:20.040 --> 00:15:27.040 event. Let me get this right catastrophic event. There you go. I got the English working 00:15:27.040 --> 00:15:35.200 today. So it was an event in 2019, which filled in the excavation delayed our lift station. 00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:41.680 You're shaking your head. You understand that that time. So we good news is the lift station 00:15:41.680 --> 00:15:47.440 is in service. It is working. And, you know, we have believed a lot of issues over there. 00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:54.880 So it's these are substantially complete all three of these. Amendment six. Basically, 00:15:54.880 --> 00:16:00.320 we needed to redesign odor control pad over at the Hicker Creek detention facility. We 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:05.920 had an excavation when they excavated for the lift station there. They use a different alternate 00:16:05.920 --> 00:16:10.880 method. So we had to go back and do some peers, basically. And then also a retaining wall 00:16:10.880 --> 00:16:16.080 over at Pecan Creek, West Peak flow. So we didn't have to build inside the floodplain. 00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:20.120 We built a retaining wall so we didn't get into that floodplain. With that came some 00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:25.280 additional construction meetings. And then, like I said, this project is complete and 00:16:25.280 --> 00:16:29.480 all the facilities are in service. We're just waiting to close it out. So if anybody has 00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:36.080 any questions, be glad to help you make sure. Yes, sir. We should make sure I understand 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:41.280 because I live over in that area and I work over in that area that is just north of the 00:16:41.280 --> 00:16:50.120 railroad tracks there at Country Club and near Ryan Road. Yes, sir. We off to the west. 00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:55.220 Yes, sir. Okay. Been watching a lot of cranes out there for one. Yeah, we're we're complete 00:16:55.220 --> 00:17:00.920 out there. So that's one thing. So that's also just north of that other area that we're 00:17:00.920 --> 00:17:11.720 looking at. Okay. All right. That's it. No questions. You always have the good ones. 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:16.280 Thank you. Thank you very much. I appreciate y'all. Thanks, David. So that really was in 00:17:16.280 --> 00:17:21.160 response to a couple of questions that member Rybak had. I know he's likely going to watch 00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:24.760 this. And so if anyone has any additional questions, certainly let us know. We'll be 00:17:24.760 --> 00:17:29.920 happy to address those the next time on the management report. Deme did recently receive 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:34.880 recognition from from the Arbor Day Foundation is a process that we've been working through 00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:38.480 for for a couple of years now. We're happy to report that we're finally being recognized 00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:46.760 as a tree line city, a utility USA utility, kind of in line with what other utilities 00:17:46.760 --> 00:17:52.720 across the state and across the country are doing really good partnership with the Parks 00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:57.020 Department's efforts with with the city's recognition as well for being a tree a tree 00:17:57.020 --> 00:18:05.000 city USA. They really recognizes the the practices that we have a DME regarding tree trimming 00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:11.640 around utility lines. And certainly, after after what's happened down in Austin, San 00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:17.600 Antonio, I think really shows the resiliency and the reliability that we have here in Denton. 00:18:17.600 --> 00:18:23.120 Now through that through that activity, we've also, you know, identified a couple of areas 00:18:23.120 --> 00:18:26.720 that we may want to improve. And so we're going to be working on those, trying to get 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:32.200 some additional contracts, looking at how our telecom and communication providers also 00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:36.160 trim around our utility poles. And there's a number of things that we're looking at. 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:40.320 We may be bringing back some recommendations in the future, but happy to answer any questions 00:18:40.320 --> 00:18:49.840 that you may have on that particular item. Just a comment when up when Austin was without 00:18:49.840 --> 00:18:57.400 for what two weeks, three weeks. And we saw the branches laying around. I was so grateful 00:18:57.400 --> 00:19:02.700 for those trucks that go around the neighborhoods and trim trees, because if we hadn't been 00:19:02.700 --> 00:19:09.600 doing that, we've been having the same thing. And I'm great job. We appreciate that. Certainly, 00:19:09.600 --> 00:19:14.960 we sympathize with, you know, the customers there in Austin. There's certainly a lot of 00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:22.160 issues that we don't face here geographically. Certainly, there's a lot of hills in Austin 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:27.760 and a lot of other issues as well that kind of contributed to many of the outages and durations. 00:19:27.760 --> 00:19:30.640 So we're thankful that here in Denton, we haven't had to face that. 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:42.600 Well, we've got the old alleyways. Yeah. This is true. Most of the northern developments. 00:19:42.600 --> 00:19:48.640 So the next item is regarding future agenda items. We did have a request from at the last 00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:55.560 meeting to move up the comprehensive diversion ordinance update. And so we did do that. It's 00:19:55.560 --> 00:20:00.440 now scheduled for March the 13th. And our folks in solid waste will be ready to present 00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:05.760 all that, have a wastewater master plan that will be coming to you in April. And then after 00:20:05.760 --> 00:20:09.680 that, it's budget, budget, budget, right? And so we'll be full steam ahead with you 00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:16.920 on budget presentations. And Nick can't wait to be able to do that. And then for new action 00:20:16.920 --> 00:20:22.360 items, I already mentioned, you know, the diversion ordinance, we've moved that up in 00:20:22.360 --> 00:20:27.200 the timeline. We responded today to the other request, and we don't have any additional 00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:31.280 requests at this time for new business, but certainly happy to add additional ones if 00:20:31.280 --> 00:20:35.480 you have any. So that's all I have. Are we going to, are we going to see, you know, like 00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:40.480 right now, the state of Texas is big problem is how to spend all the extra money they have. 00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:48.480 And 26 billion, I think is the number. I think it's closer to 31 billion. 31 billion. Mr. 00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:54.120 Comptroller keeps pushing it up. Do we have anything going on like that? Nick, I don't 00:20:54.120 --> 00:20:57.920 know if there's anything you want to comment on that. I, you know, I certainly have a lot 00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:03.040 of projects that they can fund if they want, but no, to answer your question. So Nick Vincent 00:21:03.040 --> 00:21:07.760 interim finance director, I'm not aware of that situation. I do know that general fund 00:21:07.760 --> 00:21:11.320 finished about 8 million positive this last fiscal year. So we will have a conversation 00:21:11.320 --> 00:21:15.280 with city council regarding that and some funding opportunities that we've identified. 00:21:15.280 --> 00:21:20.120 So yeah, are there any opportunities with the state? I mean, I know they're talking, 00:21:20.120 --> 00:21:27.240 I mean, I was down there two weeks ago and they were talking a lot about property tax 00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:34.560 relief, school funding, one time, one time school funding type things. So, um, good question 00:21:34.560 --> 00:21:39.600 and try to stay in the purview of the pub. Um, but there are a lot of bills going through 00:21:39.600 --> 00:21:44.180 the state legislature right now. Most of them are focused on limiting, um, ad valorem taxes 00:21:44.180 --> 00:21:49.280 for residents. So how much property taxes can increase on residential and non-residential 00:21:49.280 --> 00:21:53.000 properties? So we're seeing a bunch of that stuff come through that we're monitoring, 00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:56.680 but nothing as far as funding opportunities. But, you know, we're always looking for grant 00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:00.640 opportunities if they're out there. I mean, there's ARP funds that the city still has. 00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:05.840 We're working to spend, we've identified projects with those proceeds, but massive spending 00:22:05.840 --> 00:22:10.440 amounts that are available to city. I haven't seen them yet. Okay. Okay. Well, we'll see. 00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:17.480 Well, we'll go. Who's going down to Denton county days? You? Yeah, I don't know who's 00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:22.440 going. I'm likely Brian Adams and maybe a contingent of our, our city council is likely 00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:30.120 going to be going these normal practices we do every year. Yeah, I'm going to. So realtor 00:22:30.120 --> 00:22:38.200 days today. Okay. Okay. I went to associate a general contractor days two weeks ago. Okay. 00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:44.000 Um, last item is concluding items. Does the board member wish to have something added 00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:51.560 to a future agenda or have anything to say to the public? Okay. Seeing none. It is nine 00:22:51.560 --> 00:23:00.720 25. Do you want to make a motion to adjourn? Okay. We are adjourned.
