[00:00:03]
TUESDAY, JANUARY 11, 2022. I CALL THIS SESSION OF CITY COUNCIL TO ORDER. COUNCIL MEMBER WILL LEAD US IN THE INVOCATION AND PLEDGES, PLEASE.
>> HEAVENLY FATHER WE THANK YOU FOR THIS DAY AND WE THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO COME HERE TONIGHT TO DO THE WORK FOR OUR CITIZENS. WE ASK YOU THAT YOU BE WITH US AND IN ALL THE DECISIONS WE MAKE.
THE BEST WAY FOR OUR GOAL. WATCH OVER US, LORD, GUIDE AND DIRECT US. FORGIVE US OF OUR SINS IN JESUS'
NAME, AMEN. >> I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. HONORING THE TEXAS FLAG, ONE STATE, UNDER GOD, ONE INDIVISIBLE.
>> OUR CITY MANAGER HAS TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID.
WE CAN REMEMBER HIM AND HOPE THAT IT IS FALSE READING OR A CASE AND BE BACK WITH US SAFE. THE CITY COUNCIL INVITES
[2022-010]
CITIZENS TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON ANY TOPIC YOU WILL BE GIVEN THREE MINUTES TO GIVE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS AND WE HAVE ONE PERSON SIGNED UP AT THIS TIME.DEBRAMARPORT, IF YOU WILL COME.
>> YES, I'M IN THE CITY LIMITS. I GOT IN THE EXTENDED CITY IN 1988, WAY BEFORE JUDAR STEEL OR SOLAR OWNED ANY LAND 5R7BD ME.
AROUND ME. IN MAY 2020 SAID WE DO OWE IT TO HAVE THEM DO WHAT THEY WANT ON THEIR PROPERTY WITH THE SOLAR FARM. PER THEIR EXHIBITS AND WHAT YOU HAVE APPROVED, I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HAVE A 20-FOOT BUFFER ALONG WITH TEN FOOT SETBACK FROM MY PROPERTY LINE.
ON DECEMBER 2ND, I E-MAILED TRENT ROBERTSON ALONG WITH EVERY ONE OF YOU GUYS ON THE CITY COUNCIL AND MAYOR.
NOT ONE OF YOU GAVE ME A RESPONSE.
THAT'S HOW YOU TAKE CARE OF THE CITIZENS, TAXPAYING CITIZENS OF OUR PROPERTY, LIKE THAT. AT LEAST I COULD HAVE MY 30-FOOT SETBACK WITH TREES THAT HAVE BEEN THERE OVER A HUNDRED YEARS.
BUT INSTEAD, YOU ALLOWED CHAPTERAL STEEL TO CONTINUE WITH THEIR PLAN AND BULLDOZE ALL THE TREES DOWN.
NOW, THEY ARE ENCROACHING ON MY LAND.
THEY ARE 7 FEET WITHIN MY PROPERTY LINE.
I HAVE E-MAILED TRENT ROBERTSON ON DECEMBER 2ND, DECEMBER 7TH, DECEMBER 7TH AGAIN. I EVEN CONTACTED THE TCQ BECAUSE OF THE EROSION THAT IS GOING TO BE CAUSED BECAUSE IT IS IN THE FLOODPLAIN LAND. ALL YOU GUYS HAVE NEVER RESPONDED BACK. FINALLY I HAD TO WRITE A REQUEST FOR ORDINANCE OF A VIOLATION OF ORDINANCE ON DECEMBER 23RD WHICH PICTURES AND ALL THAT. IT TOOK TRENT UNTIL JANUARY 3RD TO SAY, WE WILL LOOK INTO IT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
ALL I ASK, IF YOU WANT TO PROVE THAT'S SOLAR FARM, THAT'S FINE.
YOU DEVALUED MY PROPERTY BY HAVING PANELS ALL IN MY BACKYARD LOOKING AT THEM WHERE YOU PROMISED ME THAT 20-FOOT BUFFER ZONE ALONG WITH THE 10-FOOT SETBACK.
HERE'S ALL THE EMAILS THAT I HAVE SENT TO TRENT WITH NOT ONE RESPONSE BACK FROM HIM, HOW TO RESOLVE THIS SITUATION.
OR FROM THE CITY COUNCIL. I HAD TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY TO FIGHT MY BATTLE NOW BECAUSE YOU GUYS WILL NOT STAND UP WITH THE ORDINANCE THAT YOU PASSED THAT IF THEY WERE IN VIOLATION OF ANY ORDINANCE, OF THIS, THEY WOULD CEASE AND THIS WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF. NOW IT IS TOO LATE, GUYS.
THE TREES ARE ALL GONE. THEY ARE ALL GONE.
I TOOK PICTURES TODAY AND, I MEAN, YOU CAN SEE THE ELEVATION FROM HERE DOWN TO MY LAND. THIS ALL FLOODS, RUNS INTO THE CREEK. WITHOUT ALL THESE TREES BEING THERE ANYMORE, YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF EROSION THAT IS GOING TO CAUSE? I HAVE PICTURES HERE.
THERE'S MY PROPERTY LINE RIGHT THERE.
THE PIPE FENCE. THERE'S WHERE THAT BARRIERS, THAT DOES NOT LOOK 30 FEET, 30-FOOT SETBACK.
[00:05:03]
I HAVE GOT YOUR ORDINANCE HERE AND TO GET TECHNICAL, I SENT AN OVERALL PICTURE THE VERY FIRST DAY ON DECEMBER 2ND, WHICH WAS PRESENTED TO YOU, THIS CITY COUNCIL, AN OVERVIEW.YOU CAN SEE THE TREES THAT BORDERED THE PROPERTY LINE THERE. ACCORDING TO TRENT, THAT WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. HERE'S WHAT THE ORDINANCE STATES, SAME THING, BUT NOT AN AERIAL VIEW.
EVEN ON THE DOCUMENT, IT SAYS 2. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NOW, GUYS.
NOTHING. THIGHS ARE ALL FOR YOU TO KEEP IN YOUR FILE. I WANT THIS CASE DOCUMENTED THAT YOU ALL FAILED TO TAKE CARE OF A CITIZEN AND A PROPERTY OWNER IN THE CITY OF MIDLOTHIAN. THANK YOU.
>> MAYOR, JUST POINT OF CLARIFICATION.
ON DECEMBER 2ND I APPROVED THAT TRENT DID RESPOND TO THE EMAILS,
HE CCED. >> HERE'S THE CITY ORDINANCE.
>> SPEAKING FOR MYSELF, I DIDN'T RESPOND BECAUSE OF OUR PLANNING MANAGER HAD ALREADY RESPONDED TO YOU SO THERE IS COMMUNICATIONS GOING ON. WE HAVE PROOF OF IT ON E-MAIL.
>> I PRINTED OFF EVERY E-MAIL. HIS RESPONSE BACK TO ME IS THAT IS NOT WHAT WAS APPROVED. HERE'S THE 2021 ORDINANCE, SOLAR FARM PDF. THAT'S WHAT HE RESPONDED BACK TO ME. I PRINTED EVERYTHING OFF.
I HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE. >> I WANTED TO CLARIFY, YOU SAID
THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. >> A RESPONSE IN HOW TO RESOLVE
>> THANK YOU. >> WE HAVE NO OTHER SPEAKERS AT THIS TIME. CONSENT AGENDA.
[CONSENT AGENDA]
ALL MATTERS LISTED UNDER THE CONSENT AGENDA ARE CONSIDERED TO BE ROUTINE BY THE CITY COUNCIL AND WILL BE ENACTED BY ONE MOTION WITHOUT SEPARATE DISCUSSION.IF DISCUSSION IS DESIRED, THAT ITEM WILL BE REMOVED FROM CONSENT AGENDA AND WILL BE CONSIDERED SEPARATELY.
MOTION TO APPROVE, SECONDED. PLEASE VOTE.
CONCEPT AZW AGENDA IS APPROVED,. PUBLIC HEARINGS 2022-015 HAS
[2022-016]
BEEN WITHDRAWN BY THE PLIBLG. REGULAR AGENDA 2022- 2022-016 CONSIDER AND ACT UPON THE PURCHASE OF A 2023 PIERCE-CUSTOM ENFORCER PUC PUMPER IN THE AMOUNT OF $674,881 AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS FOR SAID PURCHASE.2022-017 CONSIDER AND ACT UPON CREATING A VETERANS TRIBUTE
016. >> WE ARE COMING TO YOU A LITTLE BIT EARLY IN THIS PROCESS BECAUSE OF THE DELAY IN GETTING THE ACTUAL APPARATUS INTO THE QUEUE AND MILLILITER.
IT WOULD LINE UP TO OCTOBER 2023 WHEN WE WOULD ACTUALLY NEED THE UNIT AND IT WOULD FIT INTO OUR STAGGERING PROCESS.
THE OTHER THINGS DRIVING THE NEED FOR US TO GO AHEAD AND PLACE THIS ORDER IS AN INCREASE IN FEBRUARY THAT WE ARE ANTICIPATING FROM THE VENDOR, OR FROM THE MANUFACTURER THAT COULD BE UP TO 8% INCREASE IN COST. SO WE DO HAVE THIS MONEY AVAILABLE TO US IN OUR APPARATUS SAVE-UP PLAN.
WE WOULDN'T SEE THIS UNIT FOR, LIKE I SAID, UP TO 17 MONTHS.
WE WOULD CONTINUE TO CONTRIBUTE IN OUR APPARATUS SAVE-UP PLAN IN OCTOBER'S BUDGET NEXT YEAR AND THEN THE FOLLOWING YEAR.
WHAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU IS IF WE PREPAY, WE GET A 11,625-DOLLAR DISCOUNT ON THE CHASSIS, ANOTHER $12,554 DISCOUNT FOR FULL PRE-PAY. WE WOULD BE TRADING IN ONE OF OUR 2013-CF PUMPERS. THAT WOULD BRING US TO A TOTAL OF $673,000. YOU HAVE GOT IT THERE.
YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBERS. IT IS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS.
>> ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE IN REGARDS TO THIS.
[00:10:04]
>> IS IT SUPPOSED TO BE IN NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET THAT'S WHY YOU ARE
ASKING IT 13 MONTHS IN ADVANCE? >> IT WOULD TECHNICALLY, UNDER THE APPE APPARATUS REPLACEMENT PROGRAM, WE WOULD ORDER IT OCTOBER OF '23. BECAUSE OF THE TURN AROUND TIMES AND SOME OF THE ONGOING MAINTENANCE THINGS THAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING WITH SOME OF THESE UNITS, WE JUST FEEL LIKE IT WOULD BE BEST TO GET IT ORDERED AND GET IT TO US SO WE DON'T CONTINUE TO HAVE DIFFICULTY KEEPING STUFF ROLLING ON THE
STREET. >> JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, PROBABLY MORE FOR ANN IN THE BACK, CAN WE USE COVID FUNDS FOR THIS? THOUGHT I WOULD ASK.
>> I HAVE TRIED. >> DO WE HAVE A MOTION?
>> MOVE TO APPROVE. >> SECOND.
>> MOTION TO APPROVE. SECONDED.
THANK YOU, CHIEF. >> THANK YOU.
HOPE YOUR 17 MONTHS GOES QUICKLY.
[2022-017]
>> THANK YOU. THIS NEXT ONE IS GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF EXPLANATION OR EXTRA VERBIAGE BY ME.
ITEM 2022-017 CONSIDER AND ACT UPON CREATING A VETERANS TRIBUTE ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND APPOINTING THE INITIAL MEMBERS.
WHAT WE ARE DOING TONIGHT IS TO IDENTIFY HOW THE MEMBERS WILL BE APPOINTED. THEIR NAMES WILL BE BROUGHT TO US AT SOME FUTURE DATE. THE PROPOSAL IS THAT 4B WILL APPOINT TWO MEMBERS. THE COMBINED PARKS AND VETERANS COMMITTEE WILL APPOINT TWO PEOPLE.
THE TWO MOST RECENTLY ELECTED COUNCIL MEMBERS WILL BE ON IT OR THEY CAN APPOINT SOMEBODY. THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF THE NOMINATION COMMITTEE WHICH IS THE ONES UP FOR RE-ELECTION.
IN THIS CASE, IT WOULD BE HUD HEAHHARTSON AND JUSTIN COFFMAN D THE MAYOR WILL BE ON THAT COMMITTEE.
SO, AGAIN, IF THAT'S ACCEPTABLE TO COUNCIL.
>> MIGHT WE ENTERTAIN TABLING THIS UNTIL ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE PRESENT GIVEN PREVIOUS SITUATIONS WITH APPOINTMENTS.
>> IF YOU WOULD, NO PROBLEM, BUT KEEP IN MIND WE ARE APPOINTING THE MECHANISM NOT THE NAMES. BUT IF THE COUNCIL WISHES TO
TABLE IT, WE CAN DO THAT. >> I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION, THAT'S SO THE PARKS BOARD WILL TWO MEMBERS AND ALSO --
>> HEATHER CAN PICK FROM THE PARKS BOARD AND THE PEOPLE WHO
WERE ON THE VETERANS COMMITTEE. >> OKAY.
>> THAT WOULD BE THE POPULATION SHE CAN PICK FROM, 4B, SINCE THEY STEPPED UP WOULD TAKE IT, AND COUNCIL WILL HAVE ROTATING MEMBERSHIPS STARTING WITH YOURSELF AND HUD BEING THE MOST RECENT TO FACE ELECTION. WHICH IS THE OPPOSITE END OF THE
NOMINATION COMMITTEE. >> I THINK IT IS A GOOD PLAN.
JUST THERE ARE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE THAT WERE VERY INVOLVED FROM 2017 ON IN THIS PROCESS. I WOULD HATE TO LEAVE THEM OUT
AT THE LAST MINUTE. >> I DON'T THINK THAT LEAVES
THEM OUT. >> MEMBERS OF THE VETERANS COMMITTEE, SO IF TWO MEMBERS TOTAL ARE COMING INTEREST BOTH PARKS BOARD AND VETERANS COMMITTEE --
>> IF YOU WANT TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE COMMITTEE, WE CAN DO
THAT. >> I HAVE A QUESTION JUST FOR
CLARIFICATION, WE ARE TALKING 7? >> 7.
>> WE COULD DO THAT. WE COULD -- WHATEVER YA'LL LIKE.
WE COULD EXPAND THE SIZE TO NINE AND HAVE HEATHER PICK TWO FROM PARKS AND TWO FROM THE VETERANS COMMITTEE.
MY MADNESS IS THAT COMING UP WITH A POLICY OF THE NAMES IS GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE AND THE LARGER THAT COMMITTEE IS, IT WILL BE HARDER FOR THEM TO GET TO AGREEMENT.
I THOUGHT 7 WOULD BE, FROM THAT POPULATION, BUT WE CAN TABLE IT.
WE CAN INCREASE THE SIZE TO 9, OR WHATEVER ELSE COUNCIL WOULD
LIKE. >> SHE CAN ACTUALLY PUT BOTH OF THEM PEOPLE ON THERE, SOMEBODY FROM PARKS, TOO.
I MEAN, IT IS HEATHER'S CALL. >> IT IS HEATHER'S CALL.
SHE DOESN'T -- >> CAN I JUST SAY, FOR A LITTLE PROTECTION FOR HEATHER, BECAUSE THAT CAN GET KIND OF POLITICAL
[00:15:01]
IN NATURE. I WOULD HATE FOR HER -- UNLESS SHE IS WILLING TO PICK FOUR PEOPLE.I THINK MAYBE IT IS BETTER FOR COUNCIL TO APPOINT THOSE MEMBERS. THAT IS NOT REALLY FAIR TO HER.
THAT IS GOING TO GET POLITICAL REALLY FAST.
>> HEATHER, WOULD YOU PLEASE COME FORWARD.
>> I THINK WE ARE MAKING THIS A LITTLE BIT MORE DRAMATIC THAN WE NEED TO. WE HAVE A GREAT DESIGN, WE'RE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. WE NEED A POLICY FOR THE NAMES AND SELECTION OF INITIAL NAMES. HEATHER, WHAT IS YOUR
PREFERENCE. >> MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I HAVE NO COMMENT. JUST KIDDING.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT IN FRONT OF CLYDE, I NEVER DO THAT.
YOU KNOW, WITH THAT, WE DID HAVE A FEW PEOPLE ON THE VETERANS COMMITTEE GROUP THERE THAT WERE VERY INVOLVED AND I KNOW THEY WOULD SURELY LIKE TO PARTICIPATE AGAIN AND I KNOW THERE'S SEVERAL ON THE PARKS BOARD THAT WOULD PARTICIPATE.
I CAN THINK TWO OF EACH AND IF YOU WANT ME TO NAME THOSE PEOPLE, I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT. BUT I WOULD ALSO LOOK TO COUNCIL FOR THEIR GUIDANCE ON THAT AS WELL.
WHEN I DO IT, JUST TO ENSURE WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO SOME PEOPLE THAT MAY HAVE SOME HISTORY THAT HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE I WAS HERE. SO I MIGHT LOOK TO COUNCIL TO SAY, ASK SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT WHO HAS REALLY BEEN INVOLVED FROM THE GET-GO AS I WASN'T HERE IN 2017.
I KNOW SOME STANDOUTS FROM THAT GROUP THAT DEFINITELY SHOWED MAJOR INTEREST AND DESIRE TO SEE THIS MOVE FORWARD.
>> YOU WERE HERE, IN MY OPINION, IN THE CRUX OF DISCUSSION AND IN THE CLOSURE OF THE ITEM. AND I HAVE COMPLETE CONFIDENCE THAT YOU WOULD COME UP WITH THE RIGHT NAMES.
BUT I'M SURE COUNCIL WOULD LOVE TO PARTICIPATE AND HELP.
>> IF SHE IS FINE PICKING THE NAMES, I'M FINE.
I DIDN'T WANT TO PUT HER ON THE SPOT.
THAT'S NOT FAIR. BUT IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH
IT, THEN I'M FINE WITH IT. >> DO YOU WANT TWO FROM PARKS, TWO FROM THE VETERANS BOARD. WOULD THAT BE BETTER?
>> I AGREE WITH THE MAYOR AS WHEN WE GET INTO THESE LARGER COMMITTEES, IT GETS CHALLENGING. BUT, YOU KNOW, JUST IN THIS SHORT DISCUSSION, I KNOW F THERE ARE TWO ON EACH ONE OF THOSE GROUPS THAT WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE.
>> TWO TOTAL, 4B. FOUR TOTAL, YOU BRING US FOUR NAMES. HEATHER HAS FOUR SLOTS.
THREE SLOTS FROM COUNCIL. THE COUNCIL CAN TAKE SOMEBODY TO APOWNT THAPPOINT THEIR SEAT OR T THEMSELVES.
IT WILL BE THE TWO WHO JUST STOOD FOR ELECTION AND MAYOR WILL ROTATE AS CHAIR. WALTER, IS THAT -- OKAY?
>> CLEAR AS MUD, BUT I'M DOWN. >> I THINK IT IS CLEAR AS A
GNAT. >> I FEEL BETTER ABOUT IT.
>> MOTION TO APPROVE WITH 9. >> I WILL SECOND.
>> MOTION TO APPROVE WITH 9. SECONDED, PLEASE VOTE.
[2022-018]
2022-018 CONSIDER AND ACT UPON CHANGE ORDER NO. 4 TO THE AGREEMENT WITH DEAN ELECTRIC, INC., DBA DEAN CONSTRUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF $305,850 FOR ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF MIDLOTHIAN COMMUNITY PARKPHASE II. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR, COUNCIL.
TAMMY, IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND, PUT SOME OF THOSE PICTURES UP THERE.
SO ONE THING THAT THESE WERE ITEMS THAT WERE, NO. 1, VALUE ENGINEERED OUT OF THE ORIGINAL PRODUCT.
NO. 2, IF YOU RECALL WE HAD CONTINGENCY MONIES IN THERE.
AT THIS POINT, WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY $370,000 LEFT IN THE CONTINGENCY MONEY. AND A COUPLE OF THE ITEMS WE ARE LOOKING AT IS, NO. 1, THIS WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY A SIX-FOOT HIGH WALL ON RAKEFIELD COURT. YOU CAN SEE WHERE THERE IS NO GRASS GROWING, IT IS VERY STEEP AND ROCKY AND SO THERE'S NOT BEEN THE ABILITY TO PUT ANYTHING THERE.
WHAT WE WOULD DO IS POUR A COUPLE OF WALLS.
[00:20:05]
SO THERE'S ALREADY ABOUT TWO-FOOT WALL WHERE YOU SEE THE SCARRING OF THE EARTH THERE, WE PUT ANOTHER WALL UP THERE BEHIND THAT TO RETAIN DIRT AND ALLOW US TO MOW AND MAINTAIN THAT, AS WELL AS BUILDING A SIDEWALK AND SOME STAIRS UP TO THE EXISTING SIDEWALK. SO IT WOULD CONNECT RAKE FIELD COURT AND SIDEWALK ALONGSIDE THE HOMES UP TO THE CURRENT TRAIL THAT IS UP THERE. AND THAT IS FOR APPROXIMATELY -- THAT'S ABOUT $58,000 FOR THE RETAINING WALL.ABOUT $11,000 FOR THE STEPS AND SIDEWALK.
AND THE NEXT ONE IS AROUND THE AMPHITHEATER, AROUND THE IRRIGATION POND, IF YOU SEE IT IS JUST A SLOPE RIGHT NOW.
WHAT WE HAVE LOOKED AT, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS PROPOSED IS STACKING ROCKS SIMILAR TO WHAT THE RETAINING WALL WOULD BE ALONG RAKE FIELD COURT AND IT IS EXACTLY LIKE THE WALL IS WHERE YOU SEE THE MIDLOTHIAN COMMUNITY PARK SIGN.
IT IS ABOUT A 2 BY 2 BY 6 CUT LIMESTONE.
THAT WOULD BE STACKED AROUND THE IRRIGATION POND.
IT WOULD LOOK A LOT BETTER THAN IT DOES NOW.
IT COLLECTS CRASH. THAT WOULD ALLOWS US TO KEEP MORE OF A CONSTANT LEVEL IN THERE.
ALLOW BETTER MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING UP OF THAT POND AREA AS WELL. AND THEN TAMMY, IF YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT ONE. THIS IS A BLOCK THAT WE WOULD BE USING. CUT LIMESTONE.
AND THIS IS THE EXACT SAME BLOCK THAT IS USED FOR THE MIDLOTHIAN COMMUNITY PARK SIGN. SO WITH THAT, I WILL ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS. >> I WILL TREAD LIGHTLY.
IS THE GEL T GOAL TO SPEND WHATE HAVE IN CONTINGENCY OR SPEND ON SOMETHING WE ARE NEEDED AND WE ARE GETTING INTO THE CONTINGENCY
AND WE NEED AB APPROVAL TO DO I? >> IT IS THE LATTER.
>> SO THE -- ON TOPIC BUT SLIGHTLY OFF TOPIC, ALONG THE 14TH STREET, IF YOU BACK UP TO -- THERE YOU GO.
IS THERE ANY CONCERN -- ARE WE GOING TO BE PLANTING TREES ALONG THERE? IF WE ARE TALKING C CONTINGENCY
FUNDS. >> THERE ARE NO TREES PLANTED OUT OF THE ORIGINAL LANDSCAPE BUDGET.
SO, YEAH THERE WILL BE. >> I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO
APPROVE. >> WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE.
MAY WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND CAME.
ITEM PASSES 6-0. EVERYBODY IS IN A HURRY TONIGHT.
[EXECUTIVE SESSION]
MANY. >> AT THIS TIME, WE ARE GOING TO BREAK INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION. WE ARE GOING TO COVER SECTIONS
[00:25:09]
555.0712, AND SECTION 555.087. ITEMS 5 AND 6.NO. 5 AND NO. 2, I WILL GET THIS RIGHT.
NO. 2, 551.072 WALNUT GROVE. FIRE STATION NUMBER 4 AND SECTION 551.087. SO NOW
