City Council - Regular Meeting

all right we'll move forward to um announcements and presentations george you got something here yes sir um i would like to introduce the group to jordan sawyer he's with p3 uh works financing and it is a a third party administrator for special purpose districts i've been kind of Talking with Jordan for the better part of a year and a half and texting back and forth, talking some, caught up at the TML conference last October, I think, or maybe with Mary, the lady who started the conference. But I've been kind of inviting Jordan to come down, looking for an opportunity, looking for a reason to

We're good. I'm glad to hear that. Just for a quick reference, Jordan, y'all are working with Granbury, Claiborne.

Which I can't think of what the name of their development is. It's their extension. They, they took in almost 2000 acres towards the. Towards Chisholm trail.

Well, I appreciate you coming down. It's something that, you know, when we think about we want to stay a unique family-oriented community, you know, our vision statement, but yet still have an opportunity to support the locals who are here in the community and have opportunities to work and live, you know, in your own community and work at a job, work at a manufacturing, whatever we can come up with, I almost said finagle, but whatever we could come up with that fits within our vision and within our comprehensive plan and within our goals, but yet still accomplish a better project. That buck f

To me, that's... For George's perspective, that's where I'd like to go. I'd like to have a better project every time. And where we have difficult properties to develop, this could be one of the avenues that we get to that better development long-term. It's not not in every case, not in every situation. I don't think this is something every developer is going to come ask us about, but when they do, we need to be prepared and I appreciate you, you know, given the time to to get it off the slide. Thank you Jordan. Appreciate it.

Yeah, Jordan had, Jordan, I put this on there because Jordan had submitted their engagement letter. And I said, you know, I'm not authorized to engage with P3. I want to see us move in this direction, but I know that, you know, we're without a city administrator. So he was gracious enough to come down and give us the presentation that would have been generally a piece of that presentation. together so i want to publicly acknowledge that and and recognize you for stepping out there for us because i again i think it's something that we need to consider and need to do but as your you know as your

I just kind of have a question. The part, the construction that's going up the hill, have you kind of like terraced that to get the water down? Is that why that's kind of rip-wrapped with the bones?

So can I make a motion? Can we jump to what number is the action on this?

OK. Table. I'd like to make a motion to table it for 90 days while we consider what to do.

Give us 90 days to try to kind of work out what the details are. We have a motion.

Apologies. This means it will go to a planning zoning meeting, and that's where we want to go participate if we have some.

Is there any way to spruce up on 67 as well when you're coming up over Rodeo Hill or a banner?

I want to be Christmastown, USA. I want to knock grapevine out. What banners are you mentioning?

It's at least that. Can we get them silver so they look old?

Do we have any action, council? I'll make a motion to request the, or to approve the special alcohol permit for the Dino Days Gembering event October 10 and 11, 11 and 12. 10 and 11. October 10 and 11 for the standard and usual

So, I love the idea, but I'm just wondering, is it something that we could change the ordinance or add to it and say that we also want them to study from mission to juicy fruit lane or or whatever. Whatever that road is up to the junior high. Because there's traffic that comes through there as well, though. It's not walking traffic. It's traffic. designated towards the school. You've got everybody lining up to be on. From where? From Mission to Juice Fruit Lane or to Allen.

Isn't there one in our packet? There is, but it's already been highlighted.

What's her suggestion of the from where to where?

Yeah. But I think we ought to put, I mean, I seriously think we ought to put Southwest in scope for them to at least study because, you know, elementary school back up, you know, nearly to Spencer's house, you know, or beyond it. And it's just, you know, It's just a lot of traffic through them.

I always like to ask for the moon, and then if they just flat, you know, back up, then okay.

All right, I'll make a motion to adopt ordinance twenty, twenty six dash zero dash ten to study from Northeast. Bernard street to Southwest Bernard street ending at from big rocks to.

Can I have one discussion? Sure. And I probably should have asked you, Tracy, before, but I didn't. So there's $340-something thousand kind of in the hot tax fund when we look at our budget number. Do you have a plan for that pot of money or is this something that we could take a 3rd of it from that and put 400,000 from or whatever the number winds up being?

So what did he say about the idea of, at the conclusion of the 27 tournament, adding the 2030 tournament?

Yeah, I want to. I want to see if anybody's willing to talk about what. You know, do we have any feel at all for special purpose districts? You know, should I spend any more effort talking to. You know, some of the others that I have developed relationships with. And, or is this picking a poke?

George, I just don't know what we have. I think you get into properties that are difficult to develop. You get into properties that are rocky on a hilltop. You get into properties that, you know, we want more than just a space the size of this room that they call a dog park. we want something that is better than what they have offered i was offended i have to tell you i was offended that we couldn't get a developer to agree to put a nice fence along a main artery road because he just didn't want to and i think that We've seen developments that have kind of slid in because of different situatio

And or drainage, yes. So I just think there's opportunities.

Yeah, it has to be a win-win. It can't be a one-way street. It can't be a giveaway.

Jim, I had a quick question about the report at the sewer plant. So the effluent flow meter, it says golf course effluent million gallons per day. It says we were averaging 0.25. So is that what their pump was calling for?

Yeah, that that was so that was my question. So the total effluent is what we're putting golf course effluent is what they're taking. Got it.

Dimension works really well. Dimension or image? Image. Image. Image. Image knocks out that night grass. All right. 56. I'll have that.

No, you have nothing to add. That's a good answer.

What happened to the nice little pie chart? Love that little pie chart.

Watch Texas game upstairs. Watch Texas game next weekend? Yes, sir. Will it be open next weekend? Well, I don't know about that, but he's pushing.

Can you give us a 30,000 view of what the Polixie River Jam is?

Hotel McDuby? Is that at Doobie's Brothers?

They're not a tribute band. They're on their own. This is their tribute band. Look at the name. Read the name and you'll see. Tributor. Ah, sneaky.

I think they're out on YouTube now, aren't they?

I remember the good old days. Listen to Mark Holtz and Eric Nadel. Or both of them did.

Yeah, we do have to vote, don't we? No, but we're just directing staff. Yeah, we're directing staff.

I'll make a motion to adjourn if you want to.
