City Council - Regular Meeting

Good evening. Workshop council meeting for the city of Capric held February 17, 2026 is called to order at 5:00 pm. Madam Secretary, please call the role. Mayor Yansy here. Christina Strous here. Rita Hogan here. Howard Hawk here. John Hail here. Del Treadway here. Vana Hart here. Jack Smith here.

Okay. Item C is announcements. And just in case you were hiding under a rock for the last few days. Um there was a big announcement on Friday. Copper Co. was awarded the the VA multispety outpatient clinic. This clinic is slated to be 256,000 square feet, employ 500 people initially. Um so I think that that will grow. Uh right now the estimated uh opening date is fourth quarter 2028. that is subject to change. But I think uh this is probably one of the most uh important uh announcements that we've made in Coppers Cove since it uh became a city. It's it's that big of a deal. And the ancillary uh things that will happen because of this is is tremendous. Want to thank all of the staff especially city council for their guidance, Coppers Cove EDC for all the work that they did. U this was truly a team effort and it came together in something fantastic for Coppers Cove and I am just thrilled and proud to be a part of of this uh endeavor. Thank you, Ryan.

So I Anybody else got any answers? None for me, Mr. Mayor. None for me, sir. Nothing for me, sir. None for me, sir. Nothing for me, sir. Yes. Um, February is a month of for celebrating Black History Month. Um, we have a few events that are going on um in our community coming from the Black Student Union at our high school. They have their student excellent talent showcase, which will be held on February 26th at 6 PM at the high school. Hopefully, we can have you guys come out. and also um revisit our library for a selection uh a book selection there as as well with a display. Thank you. No announcements. All right, Ryan.

Yes, I lift you up. Okay. All right, we move to item D, public recognition.

Item one, proclamation Black History Month. Dan DNC mayor City of Coppers Cove Proclamation. Whereas the city of Coppers Cove takes pride in recognizing February 2026 as Black History Month. And whereas Black History Month seeks to emphasize Black History and its cultural contributions to American life and is designed to recognize and pay tribute to the many contributions of African-Americans to history, society, and culture of the United States of America. And whereas Black History Month celebrates the achievements of African-Americans in the arts, civil rights, education, entertainment, government, history, law, lit literature, medicine, military, music, politics, science, sports, and other endeavors. And whereas Black History Month is an occasion to rediscover the enduring stories of African-Americans and the gifts of freedom, purpose, and opportunity they have bestowed on future generations. Their examples of hero heroism, patriotism, and enterprise have given people of all backgrounds confidence, courage, and faith to pursue their own dreams. Now therefore, I, Dan Yansy, mayor of city of Coppers Cove, do hereby proclaim the month of February 2026 as Black History Month in the city of Coppers Cove. And the city council, city staff, city businesses hereby acknowledge and celebrate the contributions of African-Americans to our nation and to the world. [applause]

[laughter] But thank you all so much. This means a lot and I appreciate the acknowledgement and being here and I hope that this can continue and that it that everyone can see the value. Yeah. All right, we move to item E, workshop items.

Item one,

item one, a review of 16 Copper Code projects listed in the Colleen Temple Metropolitan Plan and Organization, short-range Transportation Improvement Plan, FY25 through 28, TIP, and Long Range 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan. Bobby Lewis, development services director. Mayor, council, um, we have a lot of exhibits to look at. So, we have, uh, 16 projects, uh, that part of the metropolitan transportation improvement plan. And so, um, we actually have two that are on the tip, which is the transportation improvement plan short range plan that usually happens and will happen in fiscal year 25 through 28. And then the rest of the projects are in a long range plan. Technology is great when it works. What this is is the analysis of using uh the inflation model. And so uh we had originally projected u certain costs for all these different projects. Uh but we've experienced u infrastructure construction costs has risen from 25 to 26 at a rate of 4 to 5%. And so we put in a 4.5 inflation multiplier to all their estimates uh to the 16 projects you can see here in yellow. This is a reflection of those increased construction clocks for infrastructure construction. And so we have two projects that are

currently on the tip. Uh Ashley Drive, which is right almost at 100% complete as far as the uh engineering plans. Uh right now it's going through the um environmental process. We did get final comments back from Tech Stock and we're actually looking to go into construction if we could in October 2026. to complete Ashley Drive connection which will be a pretty significant improvement in the north part of the city to improve traffic flow in that part. Also we have ongoing project with the Port Kavasos access ramps. Those are going on as we speak. Um and so those are the two projects right now under that are going forward with in construction on the on the tip. The remainder of the projects, the other 14 projects are listed in here. Uh the next one coming up on the queue would be business 190 phase 4, which would be a medium project from Robinson to um Avenue D to improve the infrastructure. Now, this particular project's in the heart of the city and so um it's pretty significant as far as uh drainage improvements that are being planned um and also the median that's being planned in that particular project. We go on down the list and you can see here the project ranking. It's the the this project is ranked 10th amongst the region. The region includes of course Belton Harker Heights, Colleen, Nolanville, Temple, Troy and Texaw Waco district. And so competing with all the 131 other project that other cities have have submitted ours on this one ranked 10th. [clears throat and cough]

Any questions so far? Bobby, I got one question. Whenever we're looking putting the four and a half percent that's an annual is that an annual or is that all cost what we noted on one time increase and I shared that with uh K tempo and they're going to be increases in and of course that'll take a vote of the word so recognize four and a half to 5% over the life of that project this is as far as yeah that's what we that that's your your best estimate correct okay I just want to make had to look in the what we think we know that 4.5. Sure. Yeah. Okay. Thank you.

So these not in the list of actual ranking there's different funding categories for each of these projects. For example, if it's textile rideway or federal um rightway then classified in category. If it's a local street they call that category 7 funding. And if it's improvements and things of that nature, that's going to be category 9 funding. Each funding uh scenarios have different pots you can draw from and are rank from. Taking a long time for this to show up. What's going on here? I go back to this again. [clears throat] So the next project on this list is of course business 190 phase three. We have West Avenue B phase 1, West Avenue B phase 2. And all these projects were part of u the call for projects that council approved in 2023. And so we listed all those projects. Um, we authorized the city manager to sign for for those projects and then we got them um added to K Tempo's TIP and the master transportation plan. Any questions so far? We're good. Okay.

Just one more question. I'm sorry why we keep interrupting on the project ranking. That's the K tempo,

correct? Yeah. And so what happens a lot of times um all the um agencies have representatives. I'm one of them. And so we get to rank all the projects all 131. And so there's like 20 or 30 different categories that we use to rank them. We give them from four to five or whatever based on what the narrative that we've gotten on what they've submitted. And so um that's how that ranking happens. Thank you. Okay, the next one uh is a business 190 pedestrian um improvements and that's for a sidewalk on the north side of business 190 from Avenue D to Constitution Drive. Um next one is business 190 phase two. That's uh then we have uh big divide road. So if we looked at um for example every what I mentioned just that list those are scheduled to be funded in 2029. Okay, the next one, the uh big uh the big divide, that's not until 2035. And then the rest on uh Courtney Lane, Mashurn Bridge, Big Divide, phase three, business 190 phase 5, which is a pedestrian project, the BNSF pedestrian crossing. Those are all scheduled for 2025 funding or 2035 funding, excuse me. And then we have the two these are category 9's improvements. Uh these have yet to be categorized. [snorts] Any questions so far?

What I wanted to uh let council know, we have this uh crash report that came out looking at the business 190 segment that was improved from Avenue D to Constitution that everybody loved, you know, that medium project. [snorts] And so, um we can see that, uh actual improvement has happened as far as safety improvements. Um, we can really look at the last two years and see that over, you know, it reduced from 50 crashes to 35 uh over a two-year segment. And so that um that's a significant improvement in the safety and that gives us some history to say this median project did improve the safety of the citizens of Coppers Cove. Also, there was an economic benefit too. uh we've we've tracked where there's actually 33 new businesses went in in this segment. Of those 33 new businesses, 139 were renovations and uh additions to existing businesses. So, we saw a direct impact economically where people were work willing to invest because new improvements went in. Bobby, can you go over each of the uh business 190 and West Avenue B phases just so we can get a graphical um understanding of where each of those phases are?

So um this is the business 190 phase 4. This was the next one that's um coming up. In fact, we've had discussions with tech stock. They want to get started with the AFA ahead of time because they are concerned about having not enough construction projects in the pipeline. And so, um they're wanting to get started on the AFA on this project now and get ahead of the game. So I have a map here that shows a segment from here. Let's see. Yeah. So that's Avenue 190, excuse me, at the phase four. And then we have phase three. Phase three is from Robinson to um Maine right here. That would be phase three. Of course, this is improving also the drainage issues that along that segment as well. Yeah, mayor and council, I think it's really important that you understand that the these these uh se sections um not only improve improve the road surface uh but uh very directly it does add a median u which is a continuation of the existing project that was from constitution to avenued uh but it encloses the drainage on each side of the roadway and uh for the all the remaining sections of this project uh the drainage is open on either side. That's why any business you go into uh in this section, unless there is a some type of a culvert over that drainage area, you drive down and then up because

that's where the drainage occurs. Um and then it would enclose the drainage, but then it would also add sidewalks on both sides of the roadway. I don't know why some are opening and some aren't. I have no answers for that one. Well, you may have to close that window before it'll open.

Okay, I'll try this phase two. Oh, okay. So we have um business 19 phase two we're calling it and this is a segment from Avenue D to Robinson here and and Bobby I think that is the one that text dot sent us for the next day.

Yes, it is. I [clears throat] was mistaken on that. actually is this is the one I was talking about. [snorts] And so this particular segment is actually the heart of the city. And so we can see that um improvements would be along Cove Terrace and um a lot of the existing businesses as you're coming through and it kind of you know begins where the other project ends and it goes in the westerly direction to Robinson. And this is the business 190 sidewalk project. This will be Cat 9 funding. And we can see um here it's on the north side.

And I think Bobby, that's only to add pedestrian paths along that. There's not a median plan. No, it's just a six foot sidewalk. Yeah.

But to add the sidewalks, you would you would cover the culverts, correct? In that section. Did that include covering the culverts in that section also?

It did not. It's just it's just a sidewalk portion. If you're going to do coverts and that sort of thing, um that would be part of the CAT 2 funding. This is CAT 9 for pedestrian interal type improvements. It's called an enhancement project. And then we have the next we have from Leonard to FM 116 here call phase 4. I think I got them all to open fire.

Okay, mayor and council. So, we need some direction there. This is the reason why we're bringing this to you to talk to you about it. Uh, as as Bobby just stated, Texot has already sent us uh an attempt at trying to prepare a draft AFA, which is an advanced funding agreement with Tex. It's basically the contract between the city and Tex dot that a project is going to be done. Who's responsibility uh who is responsible for each component of that project? The financial responsibility for the overall project as well. Um and the last time city council had these projects in front of you and you took any action on it was 2023.

Correct.

Okay. 2023. the the fall of 2023 when we submitted these projects to be score reviewed and scored by our regional partners so that we could get the score that Bobby illustrated to you and is attached to this agenda item. At that time we were finishing up phase one which was again from Constitution to Avenue D and phase one included the median. There was a lot of vocal uh comments about support, not support mainly uh for that project. We proceeded with the project. We completed it under budget. Uh and because it was under budget, we hadn't we and when it was originally scoped out, we didn't know that it was going to be under budget, which is why we didn't design the sidewalks on the north side of the roadway. um should have been scoped out, should have been designed, it might have fit within the budget. Um but but we didn't do that. That completed that project in 2023 as Bobby has shown you and we sent out the crash report data. We've been collecting that, analyzing that to see what the impact is within that area. It has improved by reducing the number of crashes particularly if you look at that report turning movements reduced significantly and I think that's really important to know and understand uh that the median had a significant part of that. Now, probably the two greatest complaints we get about that project are where the median uh brakes are for turning movements and how close they are for opposing traffic

that's coming in there and how do you see around vehicles? Uh, and I fully agree with that and I don't think anybody uh should disagree with that. I mean, you drive out there, it is difficult to make a turning movement when there is an opposing vehicle in the same median turning lane on the opposite side. So, that that in and of itself could be construed as having made it a little bit more dangerous. It hasn't based on the data, but it has made it a little more difficult to try and make a turning movement in those areas. The second complaint is there's no vegetation in the median and we've heard that actually as soon as the construction began. Uh where's the vegetation going because it looks like it's concrete and brick. Well, that was actually a council response. Council directed action to not include ve vegetation based on public comments that were received. And so that's why we have no vegetation in those medians. no grass, no trees, no bushes, no flowers, whatever it might be. So with the next phases coming up and text dot actually being proactive and starting to develop that AFA contract, I think it's very appropriate we have a discussion with council to be sure that you are still supportive of these projects as submitted to KTMPO. And it's a really important question because when we started phase one, city council asked for a significant change in the scope and our region eventually approved that change which was to leave it three lanes in each direction and not reduce it to two lanes and to eliminate a

10-foot path and make it a five-ft path. And that was a significant change. But our regional partners, all the cities, the counties, Tex eventually approved that change. Uh but they did it uh with a statement that whatever we submit we should do. So I was there and I understand and receive that message very clearly and that's why we need to have this conversation now so that I understand what you as the governing body want us to move forward with. If city council supports these projects, we're going to move forward and we're going to build out our future capital planning, financial planning based on these projects and where they sit and where the funding is needed so we can get these projects done and moving forward as they've been scored and as they've been funded through KTMPO. If city council doesn't support the these projects, I need you to tell me so that I can work with our team to work with KTMPO on revisions to these projects. Uh right now they do include the median and uh we were just talking that currently the road surface could appear that that's the constraint of the ride ofway for business 190 but it is wider than the road surface. In many cases for other roads it's usually wider than just the road surface. So if this project is going to proceed need to understand just like there was in phase one there are sections of phases two, three and four where there are current private activities happening that will no longer be able to occur in the text rideway particularly parking

[snorts] and that's there's drainage coverts there. there's drainage concerns and some of those areas have be been used for parking and it's been for years, decades, and that's just what's happened. But as we continue to uh try and improve our our city, our community, particularly on our most traveled thoroughfare throughout the city, um in order to make improvements, sometimes there's some things that occur that people don't always appreciate or like in that moment. Now, we had to go through the same process in phase one where we had to go and talk to individual businesses on business 190 and let them know that the parking you have there, the private activity that you're doing there can no longer occur because the ride ofway is going to expand to its full boundary. And it did. And we had those conversations. Um, were they difficult? Some of them were difficult. uh but in the end we completed the project and it has actually made a impact on the safety of our drivers in that area. So again with phase two it's very similar. Phase three is very similar. There's there's going to be areas where we're going to have to have conversations with businesses that they may be using it for parking or maybe some other activity. I don't know what those other activities are right now. Um, but we're going to have to let them know this project potentially could take up this portion. But there's great benefits that come with that. And closing the drainage is a significant benefit by not having that amount of water, especially when it rains heavily running right in front of your business. Um, Bobby said the other you said bottomout cars or something like that. Yeah, you do. Uh, in certain areas if you're driving into like the, you know, Cove Terrace, you kind of have to drive up on

an angle. If you go straight, like the first week I was in town, brand new to [laughter] the city, I bottomed out the back of my car. I didn't realize that, you know, he still has the bumper. That's Yeah, I still have the [laughter] bumper. I have a scrape under it, too.

Yeah. [laughter] uh but but it'll also add sidewalks and uh pedestrian access uh is a significant component of any of these projects now especially with the priorities that Texot has set out as well as KTMPO and as council you've adopted a uh complete streets policy and that's that's part of complete streets is having sidewalks in there as well. Um, so having said all of that, having heard the report on crashes in phase one, having heard the report on economic impact in phase one, uh, we're looking for council's direction on this. Um, if council says move forward, like I said, we're going to move forward. If council says, hold on, let's consider a change here, we need to have that conversation. And uh KT Tempo is going to be doing a uh what is it called Bobby?

Call for projects. All new projects. Call for projects. Call for projects. Thank you. A call for projects later this year where we have to submit these projects again and they're going to go through a scoring process.

Well, we don't need to leave them as is. If you as the governing body don't support the way these have been done and uh we we'll have to work with our engineer to rescope these projects and to cost them out again. And uh then we'll go through the whole scoring process understanding that it's not going to score the same because if there is a median that is removed out of these sections, the largest safety component of that project is being removed. And so it's the safety score in and of itself is not going to be as high as if those meetings stay in. So um anything else, Bobby, I need to share? Um, you know, we have to look at too, this is text right away and they they may um frown on not having medians as well. That's just one thing to think about because they're obviously looking at the safety components of their rideways and so um just for that consideration.

Yeah, that's really good point. It's a partnership between the city and text on these projects. Bobby, refresh me. If you take all the bride away and enclose the culverts and you have sidewalks on both sides and you have the median, how many lanes in each direction? Right now it has three lanes on each direction, right? And there's room for sidewalk and that rideway with stays the same all the way down. It's just not fully improved. So yes, you would. So it' be median in three lanes where right now it's two in sidewalks. Yes. Well, I don't think we've added adding lanes into the scope of the project. No, no.

Yeah, it would remain two lanes in each direction for phases two, three, and four. Right. You can, but you can you can do the three. I mean, there's enough rightway. You have to ask in your rightway question. I guess my question is Ryan, who else? Everybody else that has a pickup takes all three lanes to make a Uturn. So, it would be a tough cell if it was only two lanes, unless there was some kind of enhancement that there was enough room to be able to to make the U-turn because if you put the median in, then that means you're going to have U-turns.

Yeah. So, like, how would that be addressed? Mayor, Bobby, could could we open up our GIS map to Sure, Mr. Mayor? Right now it is only two lanes in each direction and one center turn lane. And part of that section that we're talking about between Avenue D and Robertson already it has [clears throat] already has a median. It's been there a long time right in front of First Texas Bank between First Texas Bank and where Cove Ford used to be. It's just been paved so many times you can't really see it. It's there. If you run it over, you know it's there. It's covered. But, uh, [laughter] that's my big question is can you

is there enough turning radius to be able to do that?

Mayor, what I'm what I'm asking Bobby to do is uh for us to kind of uh we'll we'll look at an imagery map and uh really uh get down into just a small section of the roadway and you'll you'll be able to see. Just know this is not to a surveyed information, okay? Not surveyed information, but it's a good illustration. And Bobby, if we can really zoom down into maybe just one or two properties, so we can see the impact. So, this is a really good example right here. Uh, this is at that intersection of Robertson and business 190 on the east side of Robertson. Um, and you can see the black line generally designates the rightway. Is that correct?

Yes.

Generally designates that rightway. Right away. So you can see both on the north side and the south side of the roadway. The road surface itself is uh contained well within that rideway and then there's still space on both the north and south side for that ride ofway to uh expand the road surface. If city council supports a median in these areas uh to address what you've asked mayor, I I think one we have to have the conversation with text dot to see how they would like to see it designed. But the the potential is to move those sidewalks um to the edge of potentially move the sidewalks to the edge of the way, move the lanes both to the north and south closer to where the sidewalk might go, which would make a wider median. and uh kind of kind of gets to the statement that Bobby said that while there may not be three lanes in each direction, it would account for the space of a third lane.

Yeah, the rideway line width is the same all the way through the black line. Mr. Mayor, I just got a couple comments and I understand your turning lane. I agree with it and I know a lot of this will be on text thought and engineer designs but if you look at phase one okay and I I know it was in the design and I understand all that but where you go in and out to some of these businesses if you got a car turning in and a car turning out it's hard in some of them businesses I would just recommend the uh entrance and exits could be a little wider if tech stop be willing to do that and where the turning lanes would be if there was mediums put in that you can see the oncoming traffic from from both sides at that particular intersection.

Correct. Turn link. Mayor. Yes. And just response to that, Mr. Treadway. Um, Texot, this is Tex's roadway. They control access.

Uh, and when phase one was done, they they controlled access. They they said, "No, this is this is how wide your axis is going to be. this is how narrow your access whatever it might have been. Um I'll say in our latest conversation with text dot it doesn't sound like they're as um uh set in stone on their access. I think they're a little bit more the private property owners. Uh in the end it's text dots right away and they they get to control and I understand that these my comment suggestions. So yeah,

I think they've become a little bit more sensitive to some of that because some of it raises eyebrows. I'll put it that way. And you know, the good thing about it is you learn and make it a little bit better the second time around. Yes, I'm sorry. Um, yes. I was just wondering the landscaping. Do we know what that landscaping is actually going to maybe look like? Like is it going to be trees? Is it going to be rocks or do we know what that would look like?

Well, there's all kinds of um landscaping options. Um probably the best economical looking one would probably be like a zeroscape where you have a series of trees and bushes and decorative rock. I've seen those type of designs work well with intermediate. Okay. Yeah. Because I see that that is also included. Yeah. Within the thing. Okay. Thank you. Anyone else comments?

Mr. Mayor, so that we don't boil keep balling the frog. We asked for these. Brian said he would. We submitted these to hopefully give the city manager and this council a go ahead decision this summer. in in conjunction with a potential call for projects. Yes, Mr. Mayor.

Would it make sense to between now and then have a series of town halls talk about this I think public input would be important. You know, um, [laughter] busted. Not as many. Maybe that part's true. I'm with Ryan. Do what? I'm cautious. I'm with Ryan.

Well, no. I was I I was going to say something that uh one of my colleagues probably wouldn't appreciate. Um but uh you know that we were actually asked by text uh what type of public engagement we would have on this. Um it would make sense to have a town hall to receive comments. Um I think that town hall needs to be well prepared in order for us to do it. I would also say this this may uh maybe venue is important also. So, uh I' I'd have to think about that, mayor, how that could be done well and and work with our team to come up with some good options on it. I don't I don't think we'll do like seven town halls or anything.

Yeah, I don't think we need to. Mr. May, can you go? Can you go down a little bit to um Avenue D and Robertson um to show the rightway? Oh, sorry. The other way. Yeah, I'm sorry. I said Robertson. Yeah, I messed that all up. Now, the rightway right there. That's like two businesses right there. You can see that how it's going in there. So, I think that would be one of the reasons why it would be beneficial of having a town hall. Just that. Yeah,

that's just an example, the importance of having one. And we did get this change because if I'm not mistaken, the original phase or the the priority on the second phase was further down and it wasn't a linear progression. Now we're doing it. We are Tex is an agreeance to do this in a linear progression.

So the uh the order is how it was ranked. Right. Right. And so um phase four um is is the next one I guess in in line what text would like us to do. Um [clears throat] was it based on cost? Yes. Okay. Yeah. Council

Bobby in phase four is uh is it that's from Georgetown Road to That's correct. Leonard Street, right? Yeah. See if I can pull that out. Yes. And Mr. Mayor. Yes. That would include sidewalks and the drainage, correct? Yes, that would include sidewalks syndrome. Thank you.

This is phase four from R to FM 116. Bobby, could you go to that cross-section and and uh kind of zoom in on that? Increase the mayor. This this will and council gives you an idea of uh what it could be. Um that's just a kind of a design of what what it might be. Again, goes back to mayor's question on if you have a median in there, how do you make a U-turn in that type of confines? So, and there are street sections that have medians and don't allow you to do U-turns. I don't I'm just I'm not advocating for that in any way. I'm just saying just stating the obvious of of that there are sections like that in other communities. So, What do we do we have kind of an idea of how how many feet takes for U-turn?

It depends on the design and the concept and and for example um if you're doing a roundabout, you know, that's that's an option. Um you can you can make those type of turns easily than you can a traditional U-turn. So, you're trying to do it with a semi-truck or a truck and trailer, it's more difficult. Um, get there's ways to design it at intersections where um those sections are a little bit wider to make that turn. Okay, I've seen that concept done.

But one of, you know, one of the things I wanted to illustrate. Now, this is going to be two lanes on each side. We're designing that, but this is section is still 120 ft of rideway. And so we have areas that's not being utilized for uh and you can have an extra lane, you can have a wider median, but there's plenty of room to work with from a design perspective. Showing a sixoot sidewalk on the I'm going to assume the uh and then this is 11 on the north side. Is that Yeah, this is a multi-use sidewalk.

Mr. Mr. Mayor, I do got a question for Bobby. On phase four up there where Georgetown is, have y'all looked at maybe or has tax looked at or thought about maybe trying to put in a roundabout in there? So, we haven't had that direct discussion yet. We've had it among staff. Um, but no, I haven't had anything, but they have um working on another development. I think in uh Church Mountain, for example, they they're planning to have a roundabout in that development. And so we use the standard text dot model for that. And so that's being planned as we speak. [snorts]

On the intersection with 116 South, are they going to redesign that intersection there with Georgetown?

Because right now it's pretty dangerous. So, um I mean that's something that we can look at as as far as a project, a specific project. If we want to just look at a particular intersection and and say if a roundabout is the is a solution, that could very well be a project and we can make that proposal um when the call of projects comes out hoping around October this year. So, that's an that's an idea. Sure. But but Bobby, phase four doesn't include redesigning that intersection.

That would have a separate project for us to look at. Okay. So, at this point, Ryan, what what do you need direction on? Uh, I just I need direction. [laughter] I I know Mr. Hawk said um to for council to provide make a decision by midsummer and I would actually ask maybe early summer because we need time to work on these projects to get them ready for a K K tempo call for projects.

Um but does is there any general consensus of the council on the business 190 phase 2, three and four regarding meetings? would do a town hall in April and then make a decision at the end of April. Okay. Is that too soon? I don't think so. That would be early summer. Okay. So, council's direction is hold a town hall and then come back for further discussion on this. Agreed. Final direction.

Okay. [clears throat] Okay. Um, Bobby, can we go to uh the uh phase one Avenue B project? Was that the next project that was scored high enough for funding? That's business 190. No. Uh, Avenue B. Avenue B. Okay. Phase one. Phase. Yes. Phase one. And then if we can go to the that section. So this section would be from North First Street to Courtney. Can we look at the profile and kind of give an explanation of what's going to happen

here section here? So we have four travel lanes, no me and then multi-utility on the south side.

Can Can we see the map? This is a This will be a turn lane here. Mr. Mayor, I just I do have one question. Would that also include drainage or just the road and the sidewalks? This would This right here has an L curve for drainage. Okay. Being planted here and L curve here for drainage. Okay. But no major improvements like what's going to happen in business 190.

Can Bob, can you go back to that section roadway? Okay. Okay. So, this is 13. I'm just trying to make sure what I call topsy highway. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I think the that additional lane that travels west starts at 7th Street, I believe. I think it starts because there's already four lanes uh up to seventh street. Um and then [clears throat] the sidewalk the based on the description would be on the north side of the roadway.

There's already a sidewalk there. Right. But it would it would widen it to uh widen it to 11 ft. So generally is is city council supportive that of that project? We're not adding immediate. Yes. Yes. Yes. Okay. All right. Thank you. We will proceed. Mayor and council. Thank you. You have anything else at this point?

No, sir. Council, you have any other questions or comments? Okay. We got what we need the workshop for direction. So that's the only thing for the workshop. So the time is 553. We stand adjourned for the workshop. Regular meeting will begin at six o'clock.
