Um, so that our business is not interrupted, would you please make sure that your phones are on silent or much appreciated. With that, I'd like to call meeting order and that Miss Langley will be late and Mr. Olsen will be absent for this meeting. is bothers. Yes.

Okay. Um with that I we have a very special guest this evening, Judge Wayne M. We're thankful for governance. We're thankful for men and women that are willing to serve. you ordained um government and and we just thank you Lord for the this city, the legacy that's here, what this means to Texas and we pray that your will would be done today. We pray your blessings upon everyone in this council and as they serve you uh this week we're reminded that this is National Police Week and we're so thankful for the men and women of Montgomery PD that that protect and serve and stand on that thin blue line every day and that keep us safe. We're thankful for every citizen and that cares about what who rules and um the elections and all that we get to choose those who who serve us. So, thank you God. We pray your blessings and bless this nation and that we would always have our heart turned towards you and be obedient to your will and your way. We speak all these things to be done in Jesus name. Amen.

Amen. Pledge allegiance to the United States of Igiance 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. Now the Texas flag.

Honor the Texas flag. I aliance to the Texas one and indivisible. All right. Item number four on your agenda is citizens comments. I do have two uh citizens that would like to speak. Just as a reminder, this is used to speak to council. There is no dialogue back and forth and you have three minutes. Mr. Donaldson will be keeping time for three minutes. With that, the first uh speaker request for comes from Miss Lisa at 42 work the drive. Please come. Thank you, ma'am. All right. So last week I watched the econ economic development meet ours park in a parking lot like in my picture and it kind of would block parking lot like in my picture and it kind of would block that wonderful white picket fence and the white museum building. I think visually if we didn't have the parking right there I just think it would look nicer for one thing. My other concern is the traffic. If someone's going south on Liberty Street and they want to turn into that parking lot, and by the way, they could also use it as a way just to get into the downtown area. That could be a traffic nightmare of people holding up traffic on 149, backing it up. Plus, y'all probably been at that intersection before, you know what it's like. So, I just think that would be a concern also. Maybe since it's so few parking spaces, if we could eliminate the parking spaces, I think it would enhance that

whole area and also help with the traffic flow on Liberty. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Thank you. All right. Number two, Tim Sto. Stone so sorry. Please approach the podium and state your name for the record and your address, please.

Yeah. Table Stone with um 118 Longhorn Drive, McGomery. Um just want to bring a manner uh to um to your attention. So I showed up to vote on election day. Um McGomery Ben is a new development um in in McGomery. Um, and I was pretty sure I'm voting for the Montgomery um, city um, races and um, I I go and I vote and I notice that on my ballot there is no there's no mayor, there's no city council members to vote for. Um, I go ahead and submit my ballot and then I ask the election judge. I go, "Is this not where you vote for mayor and city council?" She goes, "Yes, it is." And I said, "Well, it was not on my ballot." And she said, "Well, you must be outside the city limits." I said, "No, ma'am. I know I'm in the city limits. I I know where I live." And so they looked it up on the map. They told me that indeed I lived outside of the city limits. And I said, "That math is wrong. It's incorrect." And so, um, I'm not going to lose sleep over, please don't be offended. I'm not going to lose sleep over who wins the election. Um, and so I walked out to my car and I got in my car and was just going to drive off and I thought, "No, no, this is a major case." like um um I'm a citizen and and I felt disenfranchised. And so I walked back in. I told the election judge I feel disenfranchised. I said, "I live in the city limits. I'm a registered voter here." I I went I did my due diligence to make sure that I was registered and I was not allowed to vote. So she says, "Let's call city council. I mean um election central." And so election central gives me the same the same line that um that I live outside of the city limits. And I said, "Ma'am, your map is wrong." And uh anyway, so she said, "Let me do some research." She calls me back 20 minutes later. Um says, "Sir, you do in fact live in the city limits and we

we're going to let you vote. Here's the issue. Um I showed up around 6:00 to vote. I voted about 10 minutes till 7. I was probably if not the last person to vote, I was pretty close, which means anybody in my neighborhood that voted was disenfranchised and was not allowed to vote for mayor, city council. And so, um, when I asked Election Central, um, whose issue is that, they they said that it was the city of McGomery who gave them an incorrect map. So,

so I will respond to that because the election judge uh contacted me. Well, I also spoke to Mr. Walker about that and in fact we did submit all the correct paperwork to election central and they failed and we have addressed that with them as well. So, thank you very much for bringing that. The election judge was amazing. She was she was she was amazing but but election central even stayed over. Yeah. Okay. All right. Thank you so much. I appreciate the feedback.

Miss Tilly council members. So this is the location on street hardware now proposed to be the municipal complex. So we're changing it from a planned development to an I institutional zoning district to match the use that is proposed in this building. Uh if you have any questions on the actual location recommend we accept agenda item number 15 as presented motion by Mr. Johnson second by Miss Fox that we accept item 15 as presented. All those in favor say I.

Those made the eyes after hear 15 as presented. 16 on your agenda. Consideration of possible action on request for sign variances of the on premises ground signs freestanding proposed at each major entrance for the HV development. Miss

Good evening again, mayor and council members. There's four freestanding signs proposed at the HB property. Uh I label or relabeled them as signs A, B, C, and D. You'll see in I hope I have these page numbers correctly. Page 103 in your packets the proposed locations of A and B along Highway 105 and C and D along 2854. So the variance request here is for the height of all four signs and the effective area of all four signs. Signs A and B, which are on 105. Uh, let's see here. They're both the same size. And then sign C and D are also both the same size. Same height and same effective area. So the maximum height and effective area uh per the ordinance they would be going above that maximum height. You have 10 ft and 100 ft. The proposal is 14t 8 in for A and B and 159 square ft in in the effective area for A and B. For C and D, we have 10 ft 8 in for the height and the maximum effective area of 115 square ft of each of those signs. The other portion of this request is the location of the signs. We have in our ordinance uh prohibited signage in the side and rear yards of a commercial development that would happen to be facing a residential area and we do have that on the sideyard for HV.

There are a list of considerations that they put on there about that prohibited yard uh placement, but if you'll look on your maps, uh Miss Wendy all good at the sign company, they did a lot of work in in um photographs showing distances from 105 specific locations looking on to H property on 2854 again from varying distances looking onto HB property. And then you'll see um some of the scaled signage that they placed on the property with the tall walls and the reasoning for their placement and also for the size of those signs and

so these photos is that how it would essentially look because they're far off of the roadways. Yes, they are. Okay. So if you look at page 104, that is a picture of signs A and B. They're your fuel signs. You look at page 108 is sign A and what that would look like from uh 105 or 20 285 actually the fuel sign on 2854 and the corner of 105. So it's pretty far from the corner and the roadway and then it's kind of on that and they're a lot more attractive than those overhand lines that was buried.

Then if you look at page 111 shows you a description of sign C and D. Uh the only lighting that will be coming from there back lighting coming from the sign. So it doesn't even have the numbers lit like you did the um signs A and B for fuel. This is just to designate that this is the area where the curb side's going to be where the pharmacy drive is going to be. Um, and then page 114 is a picture of sign C. So that sign we actually went out to the site and there's they they built or constructed that that HB sign just to show where it's going to be. And then they had this equipment to show its height. They actually measured the tallest point of this HB sign and how it would look on that property. And then the same goes for uh page 116 on sign D. And again, signs C and sign D are the ones that are in the sideyard. And you'll be able to see it from pages 17 to 124. All the different street views of driving in towards HB and the signage that's on the corner.

So, we're purely doing this just because the the ordinances state so, but it's not because you in planning and zoning have an issue with the signs. Correct. Okay. if you want to. Is there an issue with being the one that's by the residential? Is that being or is this one adjusted or

Yeah, it's just that it's in the sideyard and in our says the side and rear yard. This is actually the sideyard of a commercial district that would be facing the residential. Now, if you took the definition of facing, I'm facing you all. Am I actually facing all unless I turn my head? So, C and D isn't actually directly facing that residential district. It's just a portion of that district. It's facing 2854.

Just want to make sure that And then of course you you have the variance request on that the height of the signs and then the square footage of the signs. But you can tell that without the height and without that effective area will you actually be able to see the sign up as far as it is from 20 to 25. Just for the record they're not but not obscene. They're really they're they really are set back and I think they'll I think they look they look great.

Uh Mr. Leer made a motion to approve item number 16 as presented with signed by Miss Fox. This motion is available. All is favor approving item number 16 sign say I. Those say nay. The eyes have it. The motion carries and we accept item number 16 as presented. Number 17 on your agenda. Thank you. Consideration of possible action on a variance request regarding the tree assessment outlined in section 78-167 of the city's code of the Briley development bill number 20006.

Good evening mayor and council. So in front of you today is a varian request for the Briley development that's going on on the southwest side. Uh included in y'all's packet is a memo from us, recommendations from T&Z and memo from the developers engineer kind of summarizing the request. So kind of just to paint the picture uh by ordinance uh newly adopted ordinances back in February of last year, you were required all funary plants are required to submit a tree assessment with their primary plat for approval. This variance request is to alleviate that requirement from Riley in order for them to get their preliminary platform. And kind of summarizing the reason as to why they're doing this or requesting it is again uh unforeseen financial burden on them. Uh and then also likewise the requirement that they believe they're meeting sufficiently without providing that assessment. and they're quoting uh cost of landscape improvements per section at $325,000 again per section. If you any of y'all have driven out there, y'all can kind of see what they're proposing um as far as proposed and newly planted trees. In addition to that, they are looking to maintain approximately 65% of the existing canopy. um between sections four and six they're proposing a park and then within section eight the future section um they are proposing existing or keeping as many existing trees on that portion of the property. So kind of just painting the picture looking at pages uh 131 through 135 you'll see kind of what's proposed. Um and this variance request is for all remaining sections. So section seven that's currently in review for preliminary planning, section 8 which is currently in review for preliminary planning and in the future sections 9 I believe 10 through uh 9, 10 and 11. Um the varian question would only be for the portions of property that are

currently within the development. If they for some reason decide to purchase additional property outside of their development agreement, they would have to come back to council for that approval and amendment to the development. And again, just as a reminder, this does not alleviate them from uh planting two trees per single family lot. So, one lot uh one lot has to have two trees, one being located in the front and then typically they propose the second one being in the back. You'll see on pages 134 and 133 what they're proposing as far as planting goes. Uh but again they are meeting the minimum requirement for single family lots.

Not being pnicity but being pnicity. There's a corner lot that only has one tree on the proposed flat. Are they going to put two in the back then? Where are you looking? So in the corner of Ashford Way it's number 10 on our So it's the one that shows all the two trees. Yes. Okay. So you see that? So yes, they would be proposing an additional tree. This is on page it looks like page 131. Yeah.

Yeah. So they would be proposing an additional tree. Again, this is kind of just conceptual. They're still in review currently. The WSMD, which is a part of the landscape approval as well. We would make that comment and make sure they put two things in the back. They don't have to put that one in the front. One has to be in the front. Oh, okay. Yes, ma'am.

638. Yes.

Planning and zoning has uh look and approved the variance request and preliminary class for section 7 and 8. section 7 and 8 or they contingently approved the permanent patch for section 7 and 8 contingent upon council's action tonight on the varian request. So in short order action from planning and zoning at their May meeting uh last week approved the preliminary platended upon council action tonight. Y'all are taking action on the variance request and then the following council meeting on May 26th we will be bringing the plat back to y'all for consideration and action on final approval for the plary plants. Motion by Mr. Glazer. We accept number 17 as presented. Second by Miss Fox. All those in favor of accepting item number 17 as present say I. All those say nay. The eyes have it. The motion carries. You are on the record ma'am. Uh we will accept item number 17 as presented.

All right. Uh number 18 and number 19 are swapped. So I'm going to read number 19 first and then we will uh go to number 18. Consideration of possible action by the city council to amend and execute the Superior Properties Development Agreement. Development number 2215.

All right. Uh so the items 18 and 19 are they kind of run together. um in order of operations, we would have to take action on this item first, which is why they're uh um so this item is to amend the development agreement between the city and superior properties outlining that the requirement for impact fees being paid at the time of final platting be delayed until the time of connection for each uh proposed lot. And so looking at page directing back to item number 18, page 139, you'll see the proposed final plat of the development. Um on the far west side, reserve A being reserved for multif family use. The middle reserve which is shown today currently as commercial. This was recently reszoneed to be institutional for the church that's going on there. And then on the hard corner of Lonear Parkway and 149 reserve C, which is commercial. As of today, there are only plans for reserve A and reserve B. We're currently reviewing the plans for multif family and uh the church has obviously as you are aware just recently gone through reszoning for that development. Uh but as a part of final planning again by development agreement they were required to pay the impact fees for the entire portion that they are platting. This came out to an amount of $995,000 the meter size and it's all based on meter size. The meter sizes for the multif family development has been identified because we're currently going through plan review for that. The meter size for the church has been assumed based on similar churches within the area. And then the future commercial pad sites were assumed based on the usages proposed in the feasibility study. And so kind of with all that in mind, developer did request um to help alleviate some of the liquidity issues that would be uh seen with paying all that upfront that they delay the cost or delay the payment to the time of connection of each individual pad site. And so we offered you know kind of alternative to that and platting only

what they're uh what confirmed today i.e. the multif family and the institutional portion and then come back later for the uh commercial pad sites. They elected to go with the development agreement amendment to delay connection or delay payment until connection, excuse me. Um and this would be taking action on authorizing the city attorney to amend the development agreement and move forward with the uh development and planning process. There is a representative from the developer here tonight that can speak to any questions that y'all may have specifically. Brett, is this is this out of the ordinary? Because it seems to me it is. And it's different. Yes. But when we looked at all the what they're trying to do and engineers looked at it, I don't see any issues doing it this way. It's it's really makes it easier for them to finance this as they go along rather than come up with a lot of money in the beginning when they don't really even know exactly what they're going to do. Well, I just don't want to open Pandora's box because we do this for one development. I just

Yeah, I mean it's definitely it's written that way. I mean it it so yeah to provide a little bit of context in recent years we have made kind of a requirement for all developments within the city to pay impact fees at the time of platting versus at the time of connection. that allows the city to give that cost for impact fees upfront in the event that we need to spend money on a capital improvement project. And so essentially with this amendment, you would be proposing that the assessment is done now, but the payment would be done later. And so at the time of final platting, they'll be locked into these rates in the event that they develop that third commercial track or, you know, delay the institutional track next year, 5 years, 10 years from now, they're locked into to today's rates. But they would still be paying. Just make that abundantly clear.

Yeah. But we don't we don't really know when the final plan is going to be final for any of these sections. So the final plan as item number 18 kind of suggested the final plan is ready for approval contingent upon action on this amendment. Is

there a timetable that would be done because we're locking in today's rates and as far as the development goes? Thank you. My question is, you know, with the rates increasing, this is going to be thrown out years from now and but you're getting old rates, you know, just in instead of saying, well, okay, we do this, but we're going to pay current rates. So on the city side, the next the earliest time that we'll be able to update impact fees would be 2027. So uh the state legislature just updated as of September 1st of last year that impact fees can only be updated every 5 years I believe. And so we updated back in 203 24 which would line up with 2027

and this could be done around that time impact could be higher.

Correct. So when we originally did the plat, we were doing it as one single plat where the the owner was going to develop the entire track and then we were doing a phase one with the multif family on the west side and we would move west east. As uh we moved forward, the church came to the ownership and asked to purchase property. And so we set aside that middle track is what they asked for. And then it left about just under 2 acre track on the corner for commercial. Went through the the reszoning. What we're asking for is is since we the we will have now three ownerships, the original owner is going to do the multif family. Those plans are going through the process of being reviewed and then the church is going to come in when they purchase this property, which is why we we would like to have it platted. So we don't have, you know, multiple ownerships across the platform for signatures is when they would buy that piece of property after it's platted, then they would go through their plan process. When they go to get TAP, they would pay their their TAP fees or their impact fees. The corner track is being sold to a commercial developer that's putting a building on it. When he puts his tap in, he will then be responsible to pay his impact fees at that time. And then the original owners when they when those plans are finally done and we ask for tap, that's when that that tap fee would be done on an 8 in meter, which is half a million dollars as it stands right now.

the the financing for that multif family is not done. It can't be done until the platform.

And so we're we're kind of where's the horse in the cart? And so this is why we're asking for an amendment to the to the development agreement so that each individual track as they request and get their permit and request meter, they can individually pay their own impact fees at the time of development. So in order to accommodate that then can we uh mitigate or take away locking in impact fees at today's rate but as whatever when they decide to to start and they've got to pay that impact fee. It is what it is that day not retro to May 12th.

We're not asking for any type any of that. If if we develop in 27, 32, whatever it is, worst case scenario, and those go up, it we pay the impact fee at the time of meter and time to pay impact fees. David or Daniel, excuse me, David. Um, as far as the assessment goes, would that be able to get updated from a legal standpoint from when they're ready to connect? Let's say again, rates are X today, but they're connecting 2 years from now. Could we assess them at X + 2 or would that have to remain the same?

If you lock them in for these current ones, I don't know if you'd be able to go up, but um I can check with Allan to see what what kind till 27 till that the next update and so to kind of address your concern Sarah,

the alternative for that is just platting what we are aware of today. And so reducing the what's showing your package how they that final plat just platting multif family and the church today coming back later for the uh commercial track that would lock in rates for what we're aware of and have a firm timeline on at least you know conceptually um for the multif family and the church and then when the commercial pad decides to sell or what have you that update if it's 5 years from now 10 years from now we can update those rates importantly and assess those at that time. And I guess I would ask as as a consideration is in the development agreement just write in that assessments are at the current rate whatever that is because what we need to do or would like to do is record the plat with all three reserves because then we don't have to go through the process of platting that that small track and then as each developer they pay whatever that current assessment is um whether it's in 26 or it's 27. Um and it's just a matter of it's it's written as whatever the current assessment is at the time of request of of meeting.

Just don't want the corner property to come back on us and say, "Wait a minute, y'all approve this here and y'all gone up. So now there's an issue there." So as long as it's clear 2027, I'm okay for that period. So we're talking here, right? Yeah. Each developer is fully aware that if rates increase, it's what they pay.

You're on the record. How much of this $995,000 are we going to get if we go with that plan? So of that we would have the portion of the multif family and the portion of the church again at the time of connection based on action type versus at the top of the platform. So 2/3 probably a little more because it's big. Yeah, it's bigger. So do we need to make a decision based on this with that addendum?

Correct. That would be the recommendation. The addendum based on um we can delay impact fees to the time of connection with the caveat of each connection would be assessed with the current rates as of that day. Yes. That is what I recommend and approve. Make a motion to to approve it with that time. The current rate assessed assessed and paid at that time.

I'll second is a motion by Mr. ation second by Miss Langley that we approve item number 19 as presented with an addendum that states impact fees to be collected and paid at the time assessment. Yes. Assessed and paid and paid at the time. Is there anything? All those in favor of accepting item number 19 as presented with the addendum say I. Those opposed say nay. Nay.

The eyes have it. Motion carries. Accept item number 19 as presented with the addendum included. Number 18. Consideration of possible action by the city council on the final plat for superior properties development number 2215.

Again in front of y'all today uh is the final plat for superior properties. As mentioned in the last agenda item um the amendment to the development agreement would allow for payment of the impact fees to be done at the time of connection. So this is just approving the plat. We have all of the documentation as far as the security bond or performance bond, maintenance bond, payment bond for the proposed infrastructure improvements, the sanitary sewer along the front of Lonear Parkway. Um, and as soon as they're ready to dip that out, we'll be ready to inspect and do oversight of that project. Council, I'll entertain a motion. I make a motion to accept number 18 as presented.

Motion by Miss Langley that we accept number 18 as presented. Second. Seconded by Mr. Glazier. This motion's debatable require discussion. All those in favor of accepting number 18 as present say I. Those post say nay. The eyes have the motion number 18 as present. Number 19 on your agenda consideration possible action authorizing the mayor to sign the esro agreement by and between the city take five oil change number 264 agenda item 20 yes sir

okay sorry um in front of you today is an escro agreement for the take five oil change if you go to page 193 and 194 of your packet you'll see that this is located within the overall BC capital development that's between CV Stewart and Buffalo Springs. Um this is one of the pad sites that they're looking to develop. Um the developer reached out developer, the engineer for take five reached out to us a few weeks ago uh for a pre-development meeting kind of to go over the process and they're wanting to separate funds and coordination efforts from take component from the BCS capital component. So this just cleans that up and allows us to build against their escro account versus building against BCS's escro account. Do they have a different timelines if they're their building and everything?

I believe pretty close to what BCS's is. I'm not entirely sure. Um but I I would imagine it's pretty close cuz I know they've been in close coordination with us as well as BCS's engineered elsewhere. I think they're about to start turning dirt. Is that right? They are. Um we're going through plan or plan review for the mass grading and detention for the overall site. So it is getting pretty close. Make a motion we accept agenda item number 20 as presented. Motion by Mr. Johnson. I'll be accept item number 20 as presented. Second. Second by Miss Fox. This motion is debatable. Repository vote. Temple for discussion. All those in favor accepting item number 20 as presented say I. I. I.

Those say nay. The eyes have the motion cars. Looks like item number 20 regarding the escro room between the city and take level change 21 on your agenda. Consideration of possible action to authorize the mayor to sign the escro room between the city of McGomery and HMF Marana LLC development number 265 and authorize city engineer to begin the feasibility study. So in front of y'all along with the electronic copy is a hard copy of our class for the feasibility study for this development. I'd like to point you to page

208 of your packet 208 and 209. Uh this outlines what they're proposing as far as development goes. This is the parcel located off of Springs and Longar Parkway on that hard northeast corner. Um they are looking to do multif family cottage style lots or development, excuse me, with currently based on their latest land plan, a total of 211 homes with 376 parking spaces. Um this action tonight is just authorizing us to complete the feasibility study, outlining the requirements for development, how they'll get sanitary sewer service, how they'll get water service, detention requirements, transportation considerations, etc. Um and then outlining the rest of the development process for this uh development

reszoning as well. Um this property is currently on plan development and so any potential reszoning that would have for multi Zach at one point this was going to be an all female all female property. Me and Chris uh that was mentioned during the pre-development meeting that they were catering towards all female. This is the same company. Yes. I won't say that they're explicitly marketing to only uh women, but that was mentioned during conversation. What What is a cottage? What's that mean? Cottage.

Not a home developer, but essentially, you know, smaller apartment style homes, you know, not your three, four story. Not a tiny home, but not a town home. Somewhere in between. If I had to give a like they enjoy everyone enjoying the correct complex. I think it's like a cottage. It's like a little house that has small compared to your traditional apartment style developments, but they're also not super tiny as far as tiny homes are concerned. Or a patio home. Okay. Are they two-bedroom or threebedroom max? They haven't outlined or let us know about that. We can request that and outline it within the feasibility study. They believe there is a market here for that. Yes ma'am.

And I'm sorry one story two one two they have not shared you know kind of final plans on that but we can outline that in the feasibility study. So, we're just approving the feasibility study and then you can come back and guess. Correct. Once we uh finalize the feasibility study, we'll present that to y'all as well as P&Z outlining all the requirements as far as zoning um standards, transportation, drainage, uh water, wastewater protection, etc. on the development. And then at that time, if they decide to continue with the development, they'll have to come back for all the reszoning, all the plan reviews um for the development. Make a motion we accept agenda item number 21 as presented. Motion

by Mr. Donaldson we accept item number 21 as presented. Seconded by Miss Fox. All those in favor accepting item number 21 as presented say I. Those say the eyes have motion carries and we will accept item number 21 as presented. 22 on your agenda consideration possible action off authoriz agreement between the city of Montgomery and Royals Fargo development number 263. Easy again. So, this is very similar to the take 5 development. Um, if you look on page 222 and 223 of your jacket, you'll see the pre-development exhibit kind of showing where this is. This is within the HV and SR 105, 32 acre development on state state highway 105 and 2854. This is going to be the pad site on that hard corner of 2854 and 105. Uh again, this is just allowing them to be built against their own escrow versus take five, not take um SR 105's escrow agreement. And so we'll be reviewing Wells Fargo plans separately from the overall site and tracking those print approvals, development coordination, etc. separately from those two counties.

So now that we've approved the HV, is Wells Fargo going to come in need signage as well because that's going to be on the side of residential. I'm not sure how that would actually work if they're proposing, you know, a sign that has multiple pad sites on it. That would be on them to kind of determine. And I know they're working closely with the SR105 group. I believe HB is only covering their signage. So, yeah, there will be a separate agreement or plan review all together. And again, we haven't gotten to the plan review for the overall site of the SR 105 development. How do you get into the place? Looks to me like uh it's going to be off the parking lot of HB on

so they would have shared access between the pad sites um not just Wells Fargo but all sites that alongside shared access between those pad sites and there's a separate easement that would be conveyed by the plat for that thankfully I think that that would potentially be a hazard if they didn't attack it. So, it's on the far east side. West side. Well, that's from It's on the north. Souththeast side. Southeast side of 284. Correct. Oh, sorry. It's on the west side of that property. But yes, east of

Sorry, Sam. Did you have a question? No, I just I'm just trying to make sure you know that they don't have any access from the street side because there's no way traffic is got the speed limit reduced yet. I'm sure the chief is still working on that. It's already it's been approved. Oh, has been? Thank you. Didn't know that. I make a motion accepting agenda number 22 as presended. Motion by Mr. Johnson we accept item 22 as presented. Second.

Seconded by Mr. Glazier. All those in favor accepting item 22 as presented say I. I. Those opposing n the eyes have the motion to accept item 22 as 23 on your agenda. Consideration of possible action regarding authorizing a utility plant.

Yes ma'am. So in front of you all today is a easement for the track development in relation to the list station 5 relocation project. If you remember at your last council meeting you approved easement on the opposite side of 105 for Allen man again related to the same project. This is just along the portion of the property that's owned by Trioint. And because we're not ready for pling we're getting this ahead so that we can confirm that we have access to the site. And so if you look on page 233 of your packet, you'll see what the proposed plan is and where the proposed utility uh easement would be located. Again, sharing the same general alignment of what's the existing sewer that's out there today. What we're doing right now is papering up because there's not existing easement there right now. And then adding or adjusting flow lines to make sure that the gravel works to the new lift station that will be in their development. The developer has reviewed and approved or executed the easement. So now it's just the city council's time to uh have that and so we can report it accept agenda number 23.

Motion by Mr. Donaldson that we accept item number 23 as presented. Seconded by Miss Fox. All those in favor accepting item 23 as presented say I. I say nay. Item 23. Next item on your agenda is staff reports number 24 and news report. Mr.

Good evening. I'm going to kind of touch on I've been negotiating with collection our new construction manager. I'm kind of going to go over some of the dates that I've got that the contract is pretty much at the end of throwing that over here to the attorneys to to bless it. But really, this part of the contract is just to get started. It's it's the pre construction contract. Next, we'll have the GMT, but we should have the design and everything finished by the end of August going to September. We should have the GMP will be prepared during this time in September, but we should bring to council September. uh the GMP will be able to look at the cost prices. You'll approve that which will take us into construction. If all of that goes smooth and we we agree to a price, we're looking at July 27 or September 27 somewhere in there to for completion just to give you some rough estimates. So, so if everything goes smooth, which you know things that don't want to go perfect. July, we could potentially be at the end of construction. We'd be ready for acceptance at that point. But those are just kind of some these are early of course, but I do believe we'll we'll make the August and we'll make a September GMT, which the first uh council meeting in September, we should have that GM in front of you. It'll give you opportunity to look at it. If there's if there's changes, questions, whatever it may be, we'll have time to, to discuss that.

On the contract uh with TPS, uh these are some good milestones to have. Is there a financial penalty should they not meet the milestone? Just because I have a little bit of PTSD. Well, you're talking about the destruction milestones. Yeah.

Yes. Yes. there and and really the contract is written uh where there's there's benefits for early benefits for for being under budget. You you know um but you will see that contract. So you will see how that lays out. We're still working through that. This what I just finished is really preconstruction contract just to get this thing started. Uh but yes, there are some remedies in there.

July to September is a 90-day window. Yeah, I mean if we go back and we we remember what we saw proposed a 12 month time frame. The others were in that 10 month time frame. So during this negotiation we ask hey where can we really so if we in the happy new medium 11 months which would put us August you know so that's kind of where we're we're we're heading you know there's a whole bunch of long wait items and other things that we we've got to take in consideration as long as we can get stuff on the ground and get it here don't have any delays we don't have weather issues you know those kind of things

so you're saying that you're going to have built into that uh compensation for for early completion, but you'll also have uh city conversation for not Yeah. For not requiring Yes. And we're working on that language already when you want KKC stuff again.

When we get to the GMP part of it, you'll see that language in that contract. How do we It's really addendums to what we're starting with here, but you want to we'll clearly line that out in each addendum. And anything that we want to add, you know, we can sure clarify that. And Miss Kimberly was not on here this time. We missed her. We didn't forget about her. So, she's her earn her wings tonight and the rest of my review. She's gonna co-author.

I wanted to talk about the projects. I'm bring bringing her up to speak and she's been

So, good evening, mayor, council members. So, I do have a few updates for all of you. I have begun the meetings with council and the NEC. Thank you. If you've already met with me, I have some more meetings scheduled. I welcome the opportunity to sit down with each of you. I'm going to take um the data that I compiled from these meetings in probably about a month or so once I get a few more done and create a report for the for the council and the board just so we can look and see what do we all have in common, what are our common goals that we're working towards when it comes to economic development and to just kind of give all of you something to um digest just so we can see what page we are all on. Um, we I've also met with all of our most of our downtown businesses. Um, just to introduce myself. I'll be following up with them once I get some other things in place here from the city and the board oneonone so we can better establish that relationship that we have with our downtown business owners. We uh the council approved or completed the second reading for Macau Street improvements tonight. So, that being said, we can move forward with our public hearing, which will occur next Tuesday, so we can hopefully um move forward in putting that out to bid sooner rather than later. We are in the final approval stages for our entryway wayfinding signs, which is super exciting. So, we're hoping that in the next week or so, we can have those signs approved and sent off and begin fabrication on those. I have also completed a draft of our chapter 380 economic development guidelines um along with a tax incentives application. This will help better protect the city and the MEDC when companies come to us asking for incentives. Um I'm making some final edits on those before I send them over to the attorneys for their review. and then we will put together a workshop,

probably a joint workshop between the council and the board so I can present everything to all of you and let you make your adjustments, cross out things, add things, whatever you would like to do. And lastly on my list is I have began drafting business improvement grant guidelines that would be funneled through the MEDC along um so setting those parameters of what does that look like and also setting up an application process for those matching grants that would flow through the economic development over

Yes. It's been great. Yes, they're excited. um mentioned that we're we're going to get together with Zach and then on the project itself we have Yes, we are going to W with ZAC set up a meeting for the downtown businesses um hopefully by the end of this month so we can update them on all of the Macallen Street improvements. We really want to focus on open and consistent communication with them and we need to update them on everything that's going to be happening um once we begin those improvements. some student council gonna be involved invited. Sure. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. I think

I'd like to think we're going to have some pictures and stuff rather than try to, you know, find a spot now. I think we'll do it here in a workshop styleish. Yes. That way we can have the big screens and and everything. Thank you. Thank you so much. Mr. Walker, you done? Yes. Question number 25, police department report for April 2026. Good evening, Mayor C. You have the report in front of you. You have any questions? Be glad to answer. Chief, uh, it may have been mentioned in the CCPD. Yes, ma'am.

But it was not mentioned, I believe, in here. Uh there was concern when we had the CIP the U capital improvements project the meeting the workshop and you thought about an incinerator for potentially for a new police department and it's my understanding those plans have been changed and there will not be incinerator here.

Yes ma'am. Uh a few weeks after that we got a call back from the county. Uh the county is going to open up their incinerator again. is going to do it for the the police departments here in Montgomery County because I think the last police department that uh kind of had their explosion team wasn't from was inside the county. So, we're going to do anou with those guys and we're going to use their save us about $50,000. So, we appreciate that.

Yes. Would you like to talk about tomorrow morning? Thursday morning. Thursday morning coffee. It's going to be at the Highland Highland place. Highland probably down here. So, uh, yeah, we'll be outside on just one to come for next. What time is that? 8:00 a.m. to 10. 8 to 10. and vacant.

I had a question regarding on the breakdown for the offenses where you have burglary and whether residential person. Okay, sure. We can we can break those. Thank you, sir. Any other questions?

Thank you, Chief. 26 report April 2026. Good evening, mayor, council members. You have the court report in front of you. The citations for April were 151 and the collections was 28,9 28,9010 for this report. Do you have any questions for the board? Have a good evening. Thank you. Thank you. 27 finance report for March 2026. Mary Carl.

Good evening. Mayor Council, um, you have a report for March in front of you. I did note on the cover sheet, uh, talking to you a little bit about sales tax because if you look at the overall report, um, you would see that the sales tax is down for the second month in a row. But overall, uh, it is not down. So if you look at uh page 267 in your packet, this is the sales tax payment detail. The most important part on this entire page is what is listed as collections current period. And if you see the current period in March of 25 uh it was 435,546. and in March of 26 is 446 345.

The reason I say those are the most important is because those are the current tax collections. And if you go over one more column, you will see that we're up 18.5% over last year at the same year. Beautiful. So sales tax is trending up. So that's a good thing. Yeah,

the reason that the uh money that we've received has changed or is less than what we received last time is because of those other factors, the prior period, future period, audit and single local tax rates. So those are all things that we get or in some cases have to give back to the jurisdiction that it rightfully belongs to. But the most important thing that we look at is that current period and that's what we use for forecasting. So those other things are just kind of extras, right? Does anybody have any questions? When we budgeted,

are you saying we're 18.5% of what we budgeted year over year? That's collections. We collected 18.5% more year to date than what we Did you budget to We didn't budget quite that aggressively, right? But yeah. Okay. We uh that means we're proceeding where we thought we were, right? And remember that's that's the one that's a little hard to look at at this point because of that the audit adjustment that that happened. But we we're on track with our sales tax. Nothing that we're concerned about as far as that goes. So, any other questions?

Yes. Yes. Why Why are we still paying tax associates $62,000? So, they're concerned about personalities. I just I was under the impression that everybody that's engineering half associates is the engineer water and that's the town wastewater treatment plant. So, I'm confused. That's all right. February. Yeah. Thank you for that. Also a Conro Chamber of Commerce the $3,000 is that for is that a monthly bill? Uh the Conro Chamber. Yes.

That would have been the annual membership. That's our annual for a whole year. Yeah, that's the annual membership to the the chamber. I couldn't remember. And we did step down that membership amount this year. You did what? Over. We stepped down. We went down a tier. If you have questions, Ruby was the one that handled that, but we did go down uh in the membership tier. Kimberly, are you are you attending those meetings? Not yet. I haven't seen any.

Yeah, are you getting any? They were used to sending us stuff and now that they divested is the best word I can come up with in the event, you know, notices what for the lunchons and the Saturday. We should be getting email for $3,000. $3,000 I thought. Well, we just $3,000.

Okay. Well, let me let me figure out which

I dropped down because I didn't see us spending taxpayer money on that. Which one are we looking at? Which page is it on? 277. It's vendor number 1829. I'll have to look to see what it is because off the top of my head it's 1829. It's about middle of the page. Yep, I see it. I just I thought that that was the membership. But if you're saying it was only 500, then I have to look at it because I don't know. I knew it was

Please. Oh, you're right. It was. Thank you. Yes. the furniture for the uh that was in the building across the street. There were some there was furniture that they had there that we could utilize for our individual utiliz but instead of them moving it out and us having to go buy more furniture to put in, we did have to add a few desks. But yes, you're exactly right. That's what that payment was. But that those that facility stuff.

Yeah, that's what we looked at. Was it usable? That desk that she's using is basically brand new and there's little couches and I mean that made it look really nice. If you ever get a chance, stop over there. It looks looks cute. So, but I appreciate you stepping us down from the chamber of Thank you. Yes. Thank you. Are you in Georgia? Page 275. Get to page 275 and I'll let you know. On this page, the red under 90 days is dead.

Ask about that. Uh so in that particular case, so uh what council member Langley is talking about is up on the utility account for rears and in the 90-day category, you'll see that there's credit This was a um this is caused by an entry that was made. It's a was a $400 payment that did not have fees associated with it. And so when we reviewed the report um that it stands out big because it's a credit on the account, but it's not a credit for overpayment. It was a credit because fees hadn't been assessed.

But that's it reflects here. I can't take it away. But and then the 120day category, I know y'all had asked about that a couple of months ago. We have worked. We had a major recovery uh in April um to the tune of about I think it was right around 13 to 14,000. Um and the remaining portion of that which was a additional thousand came in right at the first bank. So you'll see a recovery there and we are working on some of those additional accounts. Thank you.

All right. Great questions. Anything else? When there's water theft by construction, does it where did that fit into this? Does it fill into like the utility interact? Okay. Right on time. So, what I guess specifically what are we So, we have we've got new development coming and they have either the trucks or they have we go ahead and put in meters for that and when do they pay for that?

So, if it's if it's that we catch that has not gone through a meter, it can't hit that report. It's paid. It's invoiced and paid. So, so, so, so that won't show that. So, we find out that it's ABC company. Where where does that show up on here? Just in the utility. It's going to show in utility revenue. It doesn't go through the billing process because it's not there's not a meter in the system for it to tie to for billing. So, then how do we know how much There's a meter on there. So, that's how we know how much they've taken or stolen, whatever that word is.

Yeah, Mike's gone. But typically typically with new construction, they put a meter, you know, they request a meter from the city that gets put installed on a fire hydrant and they use it. If somebody stealing it from a fire hydrant that's unmetered, then it wouldn't be measured. And so there wouldn't be a dollar that fire people and and if Mike knows about on it it's it's being metered build just going to be stretched out between Taylor Morrison point Bri other side of Montgomery we're going to be stretched and so catching that water theft which is going to make sure that we do that we get they can steal it but people

they can't they can't steal it but they're not stealing because there's all kinds of backflow issues and all that with it. So, yeah, but yeah, that won't that won't be on that report. Typically, if we've had like a recovery on a water theft, it's report it separately just because it's it's not generally the norm, but it is recorded as water revenue. All right. Thank you, ma'am. We appreciate you. Thank you. All right. Rick Hannah, number 28, building official report, March 2026. Good evening, council and mayor. I'm inspired by your jacket to dress conservatively.

I did it for you, right? Thank you. Uh, on the topic of of water theft, uh, my guys and public works guys keep an eye out. We see somebody hooked onto a hose, usually the police department or somebody. So, we try to watch out for those things. Thank you. And on the topic of the tree ordinance, our our guys starting with all the permits in 2026, we'll be confirming that they do plant two trees on new home lots. Happy to report that the slabs for Tri point model home. Got that Wow. area started. We've improved their entry design, so they should be starting that before. That entry off of Lar Parkway.

That's correct. Uh check that out. Just for your information, I had the contractor submit some photos the other day want to know if they could do that instead of an inspection. Uh I was at a conference this weekend. I'm gathering that there are some cities that are short on inspectors that are accepted. But the city of Montgomery, one of my guys every inspection, so we don't accept photos from the contractors. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. What we get paid for. Uh you have my report. If there's any questions, I just wanted to note that I see that Miss Tilly's coming up behind me. I just want to say before she say anything bad about me, what a pleasure it is to work with.

Do you have any questions? question about it says the report is from March the 1st to March the 31st. And when it says permits issued, that's the total for the month of March. That's correct. Yes. And then the number of inspections is for the month of March also.

Correct. So the system that we use the community core we use a master permit. So any construction whether it's a commercial or residential building gets a permit number and then all the subcontractors mechanical, electrical, plumbing, sprinklers and so forth get a sub permit under that main permit. So for example, an electrician may have three or four inspections on a project. Building inspection may have five inspections. So it's the grand total of all the inspections we do for the month. So even though we've only issued 80 permits in a month period, there's ongoing workers issue. We're seeing a little bit of a slowdown in in new applications, but hopefully with some of the new subdivisions coming in, they'll pick back up on private property.

I think that was No, no, no. That was I think on somebody. Yes. But don't ask me two hard questions. I like to ask Shana hard coming to council for permission. It was a replacement one for one. There was already a mobile home on that property and they put replaced it with a new one. So it's nonconforming in the sense that they could replace it. It was the exact same. Did the other one burn or did the other one

they just replaced it because it was an older model that unbox that page goes from October 1st to I'm providing a monthly report from just for the month of October and the other report is cumulative since the beginning of fiscal year. We asked about a year ago for me to start providing this. So I think next month I'll be able to provide you a comparison year to year. But that just kind of gives you an idea what's going on since the start of fiscal year.

Thank you very much. All right. Services report for April 2026. This is Chilly. Good evening. Well, yeah, my report hasn't done too much change between March and April. Uh, still doing the special use permits. You'll be seeing some here shortly for drive-thru for Well Sparkle. Um, you might see a variance application for Well Sparkle for the height. I think it's their typical hole. Haven't had anything finalized yet. Other special use permits They're both for their son. Yes.

Well, spiral the sign is usually like well spiral straight up. It's like don't we have a sign ordinance that's going to take care of that to make it low or I think you're saying they're going to ask for variance to

the height the height not the area. um special use permits. Uh they'll be seeing some of those in the industrial district as some of the businesses change there. We're trying to catch each one as they're showing and it might be something that you would consider. I know the planning commission is considering it, but the uh industrial district is turning into a little bit more of a business office commercial. I said that was my concern coming.

Um, anything else? I'm still doing code enforcements. One of the biggest one I worked with WGA and the inspector there. Uh after a recent rain, I don't know if you've driven 1097, but from the development that was just on the north side of 1097 to Montgomery Ben and that was cleaned up perfectly on the main. So they they didn't take care of that. Let's see. They don't have silt fences or did it go through the silt fence?

Go ahead. It uh came through the construction entrance just didn't get caught. So we got a couple that Zach reached out as well. So the contractor cleaned it up within a few hours and it was just raining that day. We had a lot of still complaints for we've seen so far. That's why the delay was more text,

but you saw the lights for that intersection. Yep. uh the refresher training course for planning and zoning. Hopefully, we're going to restart that here shortly now that we have the two new planning and building commission members will be come up to speak and that any questions in memory. All right, number 30s March 2026 report. You gave him his appreciation and he left. The good thing is he'd like to

he does so much for you. I wouldn't even be able to start. So, we'll just go ahead. We'll go ahead and move on to the 31 number 31 utility operation for March 2026. You have the report in front of you and uh I think it looks pretty good considering all the issues in the past. So, we're looking at almost 95%ability on your water. water wells are in good shape and then you can look at the sewer plant page on the next page and state everything's in compliance with the state effluent regulations and so no concerns there and then looking at the last page we'll see where we are with our permitting for Lonear for the year so

awesome to report that

thank you number 32 engineer Good evening again. Um, so tonight for all is the engineer report. I'll hit the high points. Um, on page 295 of your uh packet, you'll see items 2 through 4 town for our treatment plant to the expansion. We're currently bidding the demolition package. We're planning to make that recommendation of award at your June 9th council meeting. Concurrently along with that, HAP is completing the design of phase one of that uh plant. Again, that plant is uh scheduled to begin bidding later this summer with operation forward uh soon thereafter the completion of the demolition package. So essentially having those stairs stack their construction so there's no delay as far as construction goes on that project. Uh warning plan number four, we're currently reviewing the 90% plans and specs uh provided by Back Whitman with uh public works Hayes and um staff making sure everything's in line. Uh concurrently along with that we're working with the developer district to be over the water plant site. Um that will be in front of y'all at a future council meeting for execution to get that submitted to the TCQ for the water plant number four approval. Uh we are expecting to bid that later this summer. Um moving on to the next item, water proposition. This is a ARPA funded project. Uh we are essentially substantially complete. We're addressing one outstanding punch list item which is establishing seed on the water plant site. uh the plant is uh fully operational with the addition of that uh boolester pump and we'll be making a recommendation that it is accepted and entered into the one-year warranty at your next council meeting. Um going on to list station 10 phase two. This is the tailored Taylor Morrison excuse me funded project for station 10. Um this

is adding a pump and completing electrical work adding the generator for that lift station. Um it was or their developer or not developer contractor is continuing with the work and is wrapping up the improvements uh with the recently approved change orders and uh remaining work. Over the weekend, as you all aware, uh rain quite a bit uh here in Montgomery. So the lift station was uh our struck by lightning and fried electrical components in the lift station. Um the meter can was damaged beyond repair. Uh the contractor does have a replacement meter can so they're working on getting that installed later this week. Um there may be a short delay on that but it shouldn't hold up completion of that project any more than what it already has. Um continuing on moving forward uh Buffalo Springs and CB Stewart public infrastructure improvements. This is the BCS capital and church of Montgomery and city project for the utilities going along CB Stewart Buffalo Springs and connecting uh to Avenue. Uh we are currently bidding this project to be running this week um coordinating with BCS and their engineer on the final line of the utilities in law 105. They're going through plan review with text to finalize their drainage uh grading plan. Once that's confirmed, we'll be able to finalize our plan set as well and get that bid and construct. Next item, Lawson Water with this is a superior properties development. Um the developer did leave, but I have it on good authority that they are going to be moving forward with the deposit for that. We recently, not recently, a few months ago bid and awarded the project to LG and G construction. Uh so as soon as that project's in hand, we'll have the con contractor uh mobilize on site and after construction. Moving on to page 300 of the report. We're going to hit some of the transportation items. So u FM 297 and Buffalo Springs traffic signal as y'all

are aware that signal is up. Um we are expecting that to be activated later this week. We had a timeline of today but before I came here to council it was activated. will be done by Friday. Um the next item FM297 in Hazel Road that is a Montgomery Ben signal. The second signal on one or not 297. That one I'm expecting based on confirmation from the developer and engineer that that will be activated at the end of this summer. Uh other transportation items, the Monstar Parkway expansion being completed by the county. We got last or late last week their uh preliminary layout for the expansion of OneStar Parkway. We're currently coordinating with uh public works and Hayes on the lineup of our existing uh facility infrastructure being the water line and sanitary school on Lonear Parkway uh to make sure that there's no conflict with their proposed KKC same page. Uh we're continuing coordination with SNAP and KKC on the amendments to the ordinances. uh recently provided comments to fill the gaps on chapter 78 which outlines some of the canopy requirements, landscaping requirements, etc. making sure that we're not having any gaps with development moving forward. Um and getting away from the variance request for landscaping in general. Um so working closely with staff and KKC on that. Um and then going on to the next page, page 301. Um the last last item on our report and three party agreement. We are going back and forth this afternoon on kind of the final terms of the agreement. Believe everything's squared away for it to be on the May 21st commissioner court. So once that's executed, uh LJ will be completing the design of that uh roadway. And then the last three uh pages of my report are exhibits kind of outlining all the active developments, all the active uh pre-development needs that

we've had over the last couple weeks uh and months. And then the last page, all the active capital improvement projects within the city. Do you have any questions? Lots of activity. Yes, lots of activity. It's very colorful map. I like how y'all sort of are doing that. You know, it has to provide some type of potential. Gives you more. Good job. Thank you. Thank you. All right.
