City Council - Regular Meeting

you know, it's always, hey, we want an updated version of this document that was at the office versus on the site, but not anything that's a a note of violation that turns in any type of enforcement or anything like that. And something good to remember, this is the water sewer fund that pays for this. Yep. And it doesn't have anything to do with property taxes. Property taxes is general fund. So that's street and we just had a water bill increase just so that we would be good due to that for a while. Y

and we'll again review that every year during the budget because you know more people come on more meters that changes the dynamics of this entire thing. And we've also increased our impact fees too which takes the burden off the taxpayer and puts the burden on the developers that want to be here so that we are not Mr. Donaldson said rolling over at every developer that we are they're paying to play. They're play they're paying to be here. They're paying their portion. Exactly. And and even the development agreements that we have out there is sales tax that helps us pay for that. Right. It would have been us paying for it, you know, no matter how we looked at it. But this is a way we finance it without, you know, hitting correct taxes.

Thank you. Correct. Um, do we have anything going on on u the other 15 acres next to HB? I understand they bought the camp 2 developing that we we have heard rumors of that, but I have not been part of any pre-development meetings on that additional 50 acres. So we have looked so immediately adjacent to HB the remainder of that side on this side of the creek that has gone through feasibility and they're working through their development plans. Uh their first piece because it also includes a hard corner is a Wells Fargo I believe.

Um but the rest of it they're still working through. I I've heard rumors but we have not uh I have not had any direct discussions about the KO and the administration. We've had conversations with them about annexing into the city. So, there is interest there. We don't know yet, but it's all, you know, ideas currently. But it's Lowe's. You haven't heard that? No, it's not Lowe's. That's what I got this morning. I'm like, actually, Lowe's is not going there. They're coming, but they're not going there. That's what I That's what I heard, too. And also another one that was asked, too, that there's a data journey that is just off of Club Drive on 28.

No, the data center. And that's the bunker that's been here for 50 years. Um, and they are self- sustaining on their own water well and they're not in city limits anyway. I was say I didn't think that that was city limits when it gets to it's not. So, and it was pre-existing as well and it's pretty um the way that building is built. I don't know what expansion would look like. I think it would probably be way more expensive because it was overbuilt when it was built anyway. Um but I do know they have their own well and they also keep full huge pool available that they use that water to recirculate through their data center.

Yeah, because they were asking about how that's going to impact AI that talk about well and AI data centers are con concerning to a degree when you have with animals and all of that around there. Yeah. But we don't have that problem. Well, actually, it's not our problem to have. So, well, not in our city limits. In our city. So, we were supposed to get an elevator and water tower. Is that the number four you're talking about? That's going to be west side. Okay. So, water at water plant number four.

Yes. It's on the hard corner of Old Doppen Plantersville and Old Plannersville Road. That's water the water plant number four site. So, the again, this is a rash decision. The city originally acquired property uh for this with the Hills of Town Creek development back in 20 I don't remember the exact year pre202 around that timeline 2014. Um and then when the Brierly development came forward that was part of the development agreement because instead of having it right in the middle of that neighborhood putting it on the corner uh to be further out and more centrally located that was part of the the long-term plan of the city. So what year is that going up? So what you're saying is we can sell the property then in the hill.

Correct. I mean it's it's additional property right now. It is in the city's name the HOA would like to buy it though since it's right about what? Yeah one acre or to a developer put a house on or something like that. Yeah. Sell it for going to sell market. We could roll it over to the MS and let them sell it. So they can put it on. What do they want? See, that used to be where the water well was and then we moved it. So then now it's blank and Casey's saying let's just sell it to liquidate

our assets because we don't need it unless we want to make it a dog park which somebody suggested. I think I did mention it to one more time

with charge admission or parking and let them put it on the end duty. Say that again. I said sell it to NDC and let them retail it. Get the most money for it. Yeah. Get it gone. Okay, sorry. So, before I get into the what's next, um any questions on where we have been, what's been completed, um funded, etc. Downtown, we re we updated the sewer. We did not update the water or we updated the water and we did not update the sewer.

So, we updated So, part of that 15,000 ft was updating the sewer. The water line replacement is part of the Macallen tree improvements. Okay. So replacing that section at least. Um there's not historically been a bunch of water line breaks. So a lot of the main the main trunk lines through the city have been replaced. So the the lines that go through downtown, obviously those are the oldest lines in the city. It is in the long-term plan to continue to replace those. But it's kind of one of those things of we track the number of breaks and repairs that are being made. And if the lines are functioning and we're not having repeated breaks or seeing kind of reoccurring issues, it's something that again there's other other things to do.

Okay. All right. So now that brings us to kind of what's what's coming and what's next. And so just kind of going through your packet, you have a handful of exhibits that just show locations of projects. I'll refer to those. I'm not and then but really I want to spend our time on is this large sheet here and we are not going line by line. Uh we will we will give the overview really talk about what's happen the big the big ticket items that are on this list and ultimately how this works and functions as well as where do the dollars come from. So uh just to be to the point because I know you've already added it all up at the end. Uh so when you add up everything on this list, that includes your active projects today, that includes the developer funded projects, that includes new roadways that we'll talk about, there's approximately $134 million worth of improvements on this list over the next 15 years. That includes

Where is that number? Is that at the very back? So if you at the very back page, and I realized that after we printed these, I did bump off page numbers. So I do apologize. Second to last page. Second to last page. It's I don't have a total total, but it's an annual total for each one. And again, that's one of the things that we'll send out to y'all is a quick snapshot summary of this. I just want to go through the details, but if you add up, so if you look at the last line, it says total annual cost all projects. If you add up all of those, oh, is where you get the 134.

Got it. Okay. So that is everything that includes developer funded projects, projects already funded. This is just anything that the project isn't complete between now and the next 15 years. So the 134 million though, like you said, it includes developer funded. So that would mean that the 134 is not all in the city's dime 100%. So just and this is one of the things that Maryann asked us to provide a quick summary just kind of a one snapshot box. So, I'll throw out the numbers just for sake of conversation, but I'll send it to you uh after this. So, of your 134, 41 million's already funded or accounted for. 41 million. That's that 2026 number right there.

Exactly. Yeah.

Those are all all the projects in 2026, which is the largest year that you have, are funded and accounted for. So, of 134, 41 million comes off because that's already been accounted for. Uh when the other thing kind of handful of important things um when you there's a lot of roadway projects in this that y'all haven't had before. New roadways, more extensive repavings, widenings, things like that. The roadway portion by itself accounts for an additional $42 million. So that's 80 of your 130 is between already funded and roadway projects, which a lot of those big numbers being new roadways. So

the 42 though with the roads, none of that's included in the 41. There are some. So I'll tell you that number without it. So without the ones in the 41, it's 36. So really 36 is funded. No, 36. No, no, 41 still is, but of the transportation. So, we're not double counting. Okay. Got it. Got it. Got it. The transportation.

So, 41 funded additional 36 and roadway projects that are expansions and widenings and things like that. Um, and then again, this is inclusional 40 million. So 397 that is all expansion. So expansion of plants, expansion of lines that is all based on development and growth. So we had the 41 million that's funded. You have your 36 million in transportation cost. You have your 40 million, again trying to use round numbers, that is growth dependent. new expansions that aren't funded are new expansions that aren't yet here because of growth. So 110 of your 135 are either funded or really growth and development related.

What's the other 20? So that is your um those are rehabs. So those are repairing your facilities, replacing water lines, maintenance, operational items, things like that.

And some of the capital projects that the city, we would recommend the city eventually do regardless of development. So for an example, a waterline loop on the north side of town. Ideally developer comes in, he completes that like all the other ones does. We get down the road, we can say, "Hey, we really want the redundancy. let's go ahead and put that waterline loop in. It's also economic driver, so that could be a MEEDC expense along with new roadways. Um, those are those types of projects that have a benefit regardless of development and growth, but the idea is for assistance, correct? The idea has always been and continue like the city has done is

get those agreements, partner with developers, have them funded, and through financing agreements, etc., the city's able to to to pay for that infrastructure and not be issuing debt on their own to do that. So if my math said we have 24 million that's not funded over the next 15 years. I'm we have um 90 million is right that's not funded. That's not funded. 93 million. Correct. If you did everything on this list that is correct. So if you just taste the 41 out of 134, that leaves you with nonfundable stuff. Correct. Exactly. Okay. Okay.

And that supplemental that's coming, I think, will help you with that because you can look at impact fees, developer fe, you know, all of that. It's not all on the city. We we'll finance this, you know, many different ways. And depending on growth and how fast it comes that will determine whether it happens this year the next year you know this is all estimating out. So at least you have something to look at in transportation right best case scenario is 50%. Right. Correct.

50% is best case scenario that we'll get out of a development on the expansion. That's a different story. We could get a lot more out of the expansion from the development. I mean the traditional that you the city has done is when it especially comes to line expansions those are done by developer the city might pay or has paid the upcharge. So if developer needs a 10 city wants a 12 they'll pay that $10 a foot you know minor upcharge but it still puts the majority of the burden

and a lot of and and we'll go through each individual section because transportation has kind of the most to talk about. The rest are are relatively routine, but if you want, I'll just kind of start at the top with the water plants and run through the general what the items are and then we'll go through in detail. All right. So, starting back on the first kind of table.

So, how this document's set up when you want to fall asleep um is it's by your major facilities. So, each water plant has a section, each sewer plant has a section, your lift stations, water lines, sewer system, drainage system, and roadways. So they're all broken up and there's totals for each of those so you can pull them out. What is covered in these? And there's a bunch of footnotes at the bottom. So this covers your major assets at each of those facilities. Things like uh small pumps and motors, booster pumps, etc. that are operator repair replace items as they come up. Those are excluded from here because those are just part of the normal operations budget. uh but the the larger the bid out projects those are what are generally included on this plan. So at water plant number two for example you have your existing tank and then the next item down is a proposed tank. So that's new construction versus um what you already have for your existing tanks. We plan for recoding those facilities every 10 years or so. uh you inspect them annually or we we inspect them annually on your behalf. Uh we come up with repairs. If we start seeing signs of coating failure, we will bring that up to you and recommend the recote. If the coatings are in good shape, we will recommend pushing that until the coatings are at that point. And that is the same thing for most of the items that are on your list. Your recotes, your replacements are the same things. So you have some tanks uh that are, you know, installed in 2002. we expect a 30-year life. But again, if if we're seeing that the the the metal thickness is hasn't um degraded, that you're not having issues with the tank, we're going to keep on doing that. That's why you do the recodes. So, we continue to recote the tanks to protect the metal uh to continue to do that.

And then at some point in time, we'll say, "Hey, it's not worth recating this anymore. Let's let it run to failure while we plan for the replacement and not spend more money taking care of asset that's that's not worth it. And that recoat you have here is worth $75,000. That's that's not correct. Millions. Correct. Okay. No.

Um your next kind of next big items at your water plants are obviously your water wells themselves. So wells, you know, we have a life strategy of 50 or so years. So water plant number two that was just drilled last year, so we're fine. Uh but rework about every This one has 12 years for the first one, seven to 10 years after that. So that's about a $250,000 cost. That's taking it all down, cleaning the screens, repairing the screens, replacing pumps, piping, etc. How you know that it's time to do that? So by annually, the city does what's called a GM services report. Uh they will go and run a performance test on the well. They will check for vibration. They'll check for solids that are showing up out of what the well is producing. Uh they will check for the capacity based off its design capacity and its efficiency. And so they they do that by annually. They provide that data to the city. So we're able to track if we start seeing decreases in performance or signs of brass or signs of high solids or things like that, that's when we would recommend a replay or a uh a rework. That is typically something that you see over time get worse. It's not a

immediate failure. Right. It is typical to rework water wells. Um there's things things I'm sorry you said their life expectancy was 15 years. 50. The well itself for replacement 50 plus. The the reworks every the on this one specific we say 12 years cuz it's number one. It just was installed. But once you start reworking them, kind of still get into a cycle of seven to 10 years depending on the well. Repeat that again. You did say 50 years, not 50. Yes, ma'am. For a couple for a full well replacement. So we do not expect to replace wells every 50. So the well two was at correct 50ish year mark.

Correct. And honestly, well two. Yeah. And it was a small well. I mean the other thing is it was a 300galon a minute well and so it was replaced with a 500gallon a minute well so you increased its capacity along with you know fixing acid those g issues. So Mike, who does our general maintenance survey? General maintenance is done by Hayes. Yeah. But the survey he's talking about is it is so the name of the company is GM services. GM services and it's done every six months. They just did it two weeks ago.

Yeah. Yeah. So they're they're catching the spring and post summer and pre-summer cuz you'll have again you we expect changes in your capacities with your aquifer levels. After the summer it will go down. We want to see that rebound in the report they just did. And then those reports those those by annuals they go to Hayes WJ and public works all three of the is one of the items. So we have a bi-weekly operations call as one of the items that when it comes up we review the results talk about if there's any action to come from

and I'm assuming we trend notes. Yes and they do as well. So they have six sevenyear running average and graph on each one so you can see the trends of levels capacities etc. Y thank you and if we Hayes is no longer here tomorrow GM services still is that person and that we still have the historicals. Okay just making sure. Okay.

All right. So the next sections are a lot of the same. So I'm not going to go into detail on water plant three. Uh on your one thing I will note on water plant 3 just because it has been an item that we've discussed about. If I don't mention it Stan you will ask me the liquid bleach is on the is on the plan for water plant 3. That's a 2028 slated project as of this time. Other thing different about water plant 3 is you do have two generators on that site. So there's a little bit more to take care of. Um that is because there's two different electrical services to the components of the plant and you also have the cooling towers um at that site to treat the water from the katahula. So those uh transfer plates uh need to be cleaned and replaced um every 5 to 10 years depending on what it is. So we have coming up this year uh they're working through that as we speak. And then you have on here water plant number four. Again, all a lot of that is the new. There's not a lot of expected uh repairs and maintenance other than some minor recodings. Uh that one again, it falls off the list on when it's needed, but that is a much more expensive recoding of the elevated tank. Obviously, there it's elevated. There's a lot more to it. Um a lot more equipment and gear in order to get that done. It's also why, you know, we we try to go as simple as possible with those designs and the paint schemes on those things because the more you have on it, the more stuff that's going to run and fade versus something simple and does require a lot. Thank you. So, you flip over to the next page. The top of this one says water system, water distribution system. And so, these are all your waterline related projects. So, you have your interconnect with Stanley Lake. Um, that one likely will move forward. We're

working with the developer because that project is slowly moving forward. They've submitted plans to us. Um, you have the one in 2026 is the one we talked about. That's the BCS funded project, that 901 that's in red on your sheets. And the other items down here are upsizings, water line replacements, etc. Just to one take care of older pipes and continue connections as development occurs. So, one of the the big things with these is as you're working down 149 with development, there'll need to be upsizings of water lines to go down 149. And so, those are included in here. Again, really development driven, but to be determined.

Yeah. Looks like that's going to be really busy between 2028 and 2031. Correct. There there's a lot of those that kind of also we're trying to it's one of those based on needs. So the downtown related items depends how downtown develops and as those plans continue to change that scope continues to change but at least we have a placeholder in here. So the developer that bought the lot the block when he wants to do we can take advantage of the earth being pulled. Correct.

Correct. And I mean there's likelihood just from upsizing because a lot of the water lines downtown are either small or unknown up sizes. just not good records. But it's as it continues to redevelop, just realigning, resizing those right sizing those facilities so they're there for the future. All right, now we're down to your wastewater plant section. So your Town Creek and your Stewart Creek, again, big ticket items. You have your expansion project that's ongoing and then followed by a next round of expansion in 2029. And so that's your next kind of biggest project that's upcoming based on the growth. Uh you're looking at another expansion. Now, one thing to note, it's noted in the footnotes is still to be determined if that happens at Town Creek or Stewart Creek. Both permits are one permits in place, the other one should be done here in the next few months to have that flexibility to go there either either facility based on where the growth occurs. We're trying to reduce the amount that we're pumping sewer around the city. So the more growth we have on the west side of town, we will uh recommend expanding this facility first. More growth we have on the east side of town, we recommend expanding that facility first and balancing out. So there's other things that we kind of tools in the toolbox that we have with some lift stations and force mains and reroutes to be able to balance out those flows, but too early to tell right now which one is going to be the recommended path. But both of them are in here in case it's needed. Then you get down. So that covers your wastewater plants. Uh next item down is your on-site lift stations. This is a large section because you have a lot of lift stations. Um so it's it's a lot of a lot of numbers on a page. Biggest thing to note, I'll summarize it all in one way. Your lift stations are doing good. Your biggest problem was lift station number five, which is what's getting replaced, relocated by

Trip Point. Uh your next oldest lift stations are number three and number four. Uh one and one is brand new. That's at the Stewart Creek. Number two is at the Town Creek wastewater plant. That's getting replaced with the Town Creek project. That'll be brand new. Lift station three is your lift station by MEES over here off of across from the transportation center on 149. You said I'm sorry. You said number Oh, number two. No, you're good. So number four is the oldest or number five? Number four says 1977. That's the oldest. Correct. Number four is based on our records the oldest. Number five is shortly thereafter. It's just old, not oldest.

But number five is getting replaced. Number four doesn't serve a whole lot. So number four is the one located right here off of Old Plantersville. Uh right at the bend uh near I forgot the cross street. There's a there's a wooden fence right on the bend down here in Old Plannersville. It only really serves the down this small section of the downtown area. It's one of the lift stations that it does need um ultimately some work. It's operating just fine, but it is a different style lift station than the rest that we ultimately want to get rid of. It has a dry as a wet well and a dry well or all the rest are submersible lift stations.

So with um to that point, my question is how many of these lift stations have interchangeable parts? So every time that a pump replace goes out, we are putting them in. Our Hayes and Public Works are are pushing to have lightiz pumps, makes and models put in as they can. So they all are designed with redundancy. So, you're designed to have one pump out of service, but also as pumps go out, uh, public works has brought to the city over the past is here's recommended to replace in kind is x amount. If we want to upgrade to flight, which is a higher, more reliable pump, they brought that to the city. Most of the times that has been approved. Um, and so we're replacing them as we go. The new lift stations going in are all going in with the flight pumps. So we're all working on the same style of pumps that uh public works is in critical spares, Mike.

No, but we have rentals available. So the good thing about list stations is you don't really size them to where they're or you don't build them to where they're all the same. So you can interchange them because of pump flows. You know, everyone has to be a little different. Uh but one of the things about the flights in particular is the availability to get a rental immediately. If one goes out, we can get a rental in usually the same day. That's usually not an issue. Okay.

Couple of the other things just to know in the lift station section. Um, one of the things that we're able to do, so with lift station number five currently has a generator. It is old, but it's still operational. So, the plan is we're going to with this project, the contractors that becomes property of the city. We're going to install it at lift station 9 to go in and get the transfer switch all new. the and at least get some more life out of it. Nine is on the north side of the bridge on Buffalo Springs. So 10 is getting a generator right now through Taylor Morrison that project. Nine is on the north side. So we'll get both of those to have generators. Uh so that that is but in your budget. Um and then one other thing to note about generators is or excuse me not generators, lift stations. So, all your new lift stations going in by these developers um are being installed with generators up front with the pumps that you want up front with the controls um that are the city's preference. So, we're not, you know, these older lift stations, you're going back, we're adding some generators, we're changing out control panels, we're we're doing those things that anything that's been recent and anything new, you're getting the controls and the uh the type of pumps and the generators that

And the lifespan of these lift stations out, it could be 10 years, it could be 110 years. I mean, yeah, the lift stations. So what's what's in this plan is to periodically go through and inspect and then do some rehabilitation of the piping and the wet well. I mean they're they're concrete structures. So they're concrete structures and sewer. There's a lot of gases. It eats away at the concrete. So we go through and we we recommend installing epoxy coating to give it a protection from it. And so that's what's in this plan. If you see wet well rehab, that's a lot of those is going in and installing or reinstalling those coatings as they were. something you do or does Haze do that is thating type stuff. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Those are all Maciator pumps.

They're all what? Maciator pumps to grind as they call uh most of them. Yeah, that's what we're switching to. And even specifically, they the the style that we like to go with has an impeller in it that will actually lift up before it starts. So the towels, rags, whatever, it will it will chew them up. So I gota ask one of my questions. Okay, looking at the map, uh I see lift station 9 and 10. They look like they're near each other. Yes, they are. To have two lift stations in the same vicinity instead of one.

You want the short answer or the long? Short answer. Ideal. That is not ideal. Long answer is there's a creek in between and there was an original design that it would go under the creek. That wasn't constructed. We ended up. Um anywhere that we can consolidate lift stations, we try to py is one of those examples. The lift station that's there. The intent was was to take it by gravity into um um water. that easement. PY was not able to obtain that easement and so they had to install that lift station. So anytime that we can consolidate like we're getting rid of lift station 12 and next did water PA not approved that or the developer who uh the property owner

property owner correct.

So on all these lift station there's a there's a specific maintenance. Yes. Mr. Yes, ma'am.

Yeah. All of all the facilities, so your water plants, your wastewater plants, and all your lift stations have a specific PM program that Hayes and Public Works follows to to keep them running. Okay, flipping on to the next page and we're getting close. Um, so the next section is your sanitary sewer system. Again, the ones that are in red on your sheet are the already funded projects or are in a development agreement if not funded uh projects. Your next kind of thing that's coming up that would be a city-led directive is the sanity cleaning and televising of this portion of what's serving lift station 10 and Lonear Parkway. again. So, kind of we talked about what we've already done. You've already looked at all of the downtown area, all the old lines in the city. This is now going back and looking at the lift station 10 trunk line. It is what ser comes from Buffalo Springs, runs down uh Town Creek crossing to that lift station. Serves a lot. We recommend putting eyes on it sooner rather than later just to make sure that it's it's there's no issues. Same thing with the Lonear Parkway sewer line that works its way around the city. There's a right now pretty all the flow through the city is going through there minus what's um downstream. Um so again putting eyes on it spending a little bit of money um making sure there's no issues before it becomes issue but again you're not having historical issues of backups or anything like that or failures or everything's operating well. Just

that main line that you just referenced we replaced that recently. So you the the line that was replaced recently was the main line that runs um down this street through Lonear Estates to Lift Station 2. So that line was replaced and upsized in the past 2 years. Um still warranty still under warranty. Um and then this line was installed with the latter sections of Buffalo Spring. So they're it's not they're not terribly old. Uh but again, they're just critical. No, no, it's all plastic pipes. They've been putting in the last 10 years, right? They're all plastic pipe. It's just again there's a lot putting on.

That was my main concern. It's not like 20 years old. Clay pipe galvanized.

No, anything like that has been already been inspected. The repairs have been made. We'll eventually circle back and that's what this downtown phase 2 is. So, looking at that again in 29 just kind of retellizing because things pop up. Um, pipe's not getting any newer, but we're that that's what that next piece is here. Uh, one other one, this kind of goes to your point earlier, Casey, the lift station number three force main reroute. That is that project that is a if needed and what it does if we can take lift station 3 and go directly to Steuart Creek versus Town Creek. And so, we have both of those options depending on how development occurs to be able to send that flow. So, it's on here, but again, it's to be determined if if or when that will be done. Next section down is your drainage system. Uh there's a whole lot less to do here because again, y'all have not been taking on uh detention pond responsibilities or anything like that from developers. Those are they are maintaining those. Uh so, we have in here some budget for condition assessment. So, that's doing some spot um inspections, television, just make sure pipes kind of like we had on flagship, which I'll get to in a second, that those things aren't happening. Uh ditch regrading. This is just a a catch-all number for miscellaneous ditch repairs. This just occurred, the 25,026 that's been completed. That was over off of Anna Springs and in that area.

Yeah. So, can we get a moment? Can we talk about that? They'll get talked about tomorrow. They're all going to be here. Yeah. Well, next next Tuesday. Yeah. ivory. So, okay. Oh, yeah. Next Tuesday. Yeah. Okay. I will give it to you after Casey scared me. Yeah. I misspoke. It's next week, but they're all going to be here. Yeah, they pulled me out of my house today. Yeah. I got What? They they drugged me out of my house today where where it's all collapsing and it's undercut. It's starting to undercut the sidewalk already. Yep. After a 1 in rain.

Yeah. It's not It's a mess. And then the last sections, there's really nothing else in this one is transportation. So this is where a lot of the the named projects I would say are the larger ones. So complete repaving of Pleasant uh which is you know in need of repair. Buffalo Springs uh making all of that concrete over those next two projects uh from what BCS is already doing which is in red. The next item, uh, the downtown project. Now, just know that this includes all of those costs. So, water, sewer, drainage, and it's an MEDC project. So, we can take this off of the list. Just wanted to just for totality sake of what's going on, it is still on here. The next three, these Westway extensions. So, if you go to exhibit D. Thank you, sir. You go to exhibit D of your packet. So, this is all roadway related. It's not every single thing that would get rehabed because that would be you know everything but um what is these major major projects new projects etc and and mainly to new ones. So um just kind of catch everyone up. So if you look at obviously Lonear Parkway starting on the east side of town at Buffalo Springs that area in blue is what the county is currently um working on that's in design. The area if you go south on Buffalo Springs, the area in blue there

of CV Stewart in Buffalo Springs is what's being done by BCS. Moving over to the west side of the city, uh starting with the blue area that's being done by Trioint. Then we get to kind of these proposed projects which is what's in orange on either side of the Trioint project and then the what's called the Montgomery crossing project. So the thought process here on why these are on your list. So if dry point completes the section in blue uh there is a relatively small jog to get to Longstar Parkway. Uh which again if this is looking at connectivity and also looking at potential economic development having that road would be there if you so choose. Again it's not a requirement but we want it on the list of potential roadway projects the city could undertake. that would make sense. It's not, you know, a road to nowhere. It is connecting pieces of road that are being put in by the building.

So, what you're saying is that's not going to be completed. So, there's an option for the city to complete it to get

Exactly. If the city decides in their best interest from economic development, traffic and transportation, etc. to do so. But it's not one of those triggering or events the city has to do this again like the other portion of that portion of that road. If that property develops and it's on that would be part of the development of that property that and it's the same thing working south. So just broken up into three sections which is why it's on there three times. So you have um south of 105 connecting to what Montgomery Crossing is going to do. That item would include kind of reworking those intersections. So you see a couple orange lines in that area. So this is from the countyy's thoroughfare plan and the city's plan of straightening that out, making it a singleized intersection at Westway and having it run itself through and then ultimately making his way to 149. So kind of following that line all from Westway. That is that where Lonear Signs is?

Uh this what's that white thing right there? That is the um there are the the sheds. Okay. So if you go past the sheds, it is just immediately to the east of that is where it would generally line up. And then is this going this thoroughare above pill junction? Is that through the stove's property? That is correct. And that section in blue is part of the development agreement with Montgomery crossing. Okay. And then the one that's in the southern port of that straight across is that the Mayberry property? That is correct. Okay. Which one?

So, right above Pill Junction, that that turquoise is the Mabberry. And then to the left of that, when it starts to go up, that's Stow. And the alignment obviously is subject to change, especially on that 149 to Old Plannersville section. The development of the neighboring property on the Randles will play into that on where they align their roads. But right again linear foot gives you about the same any movement on that now that they're out of our ATJ they don't have to talk to us about it but that portion still is in city limits but uh we have not had any recent conversations I thought they got out all the way 105

no so they so everything that's in you are correct they got out of the ETJ but they they were not able to deex from the city okay that's what I wanted to know correct okay thanks uh the other thing to note Um the old Plannersville road improvements, that blue line that goes all the way from right out here to Old Doin Plannersville, that is actually going to continue all the way to 105. So the county that's part of the county's project is to that entire loop from 105 to 105. That was a recent a recent So that that dog leg out or whatever that kick out is

correct. All done by the county. So, you got no no um no no pred predictions from the county when they're going to do um basically tiling tie into old planters no road to 2054. Well, that's what he was saying over here. I think that's here. Yeah. Continuing it down. Not anything in in concrete that we've had that discussion here. They do here. Yeah, that's yeah,

we've seen concepts of old planters of road kind of continuing to follow the tracks and then crossing near the intersection of 149 to 105 because the the thought is that's going to need to be elevated crossing. Railroad is not going to allow at grade crossing and if we're already elevating might as well cover 149 as well. So that moving south but as far as the timeline that is we have not heard that from the county what that is. I know the county wants uh is still working to get text dot to take over uh more roads. So trust part uh other things in the roadway section. So we talked about the westway projects uh flagship phase two. This is again it's holding up but if you remember we replace the storm sewer, replace the pavement. So this is just that finish up project. uh cleer repaving again that's going to be very dependent on overall downtown redevelopment and how that occurs the timing scope etc of that uh Shepard Street uh that project is in red because it is going to be done by Parkside um V Caroline Court that was part of their agreements to right now if you remember it it gets narrow at 105 to widen that out and make it concrete. Uh and then your your last two items on here are more of your catchall. your general road rehab. So, this is we took all your linear foot uh roads downtown. So, what would it cost to to rehab them all and divide that out over the 15 years?

Do we need to buckle up to see that number? No. Uh 250 a year. Oh.

Um so that's in addition to your your street fund that you already had, which is miscellaneous repairs and improvements that Mike's undertake. So putting that additional amount to kind of systematically go through and it could be that so on the road specifically Mike is going through and using software to do a new evaluation of the roads to prioritize them and then we will refine this plan and say okay we recommend let's do 500 this year and let's skip a year and then do 300 or we'll revise it. This just kind of gets us the catchall for everything. And as that evaluation comes in, that'll be part of your annual budget process as we'll talk about. All right, let's focus on these streets. Here's the dollar amount. And that would be a full mill and repay those roads.

So is general road rehab for $250,000. Is that just filling potholes or is that actually pulling it up and put remilling and all that? It's remilling and everything. Okay. 250. Yeah, small small sections again. This is going in small sections cuz just small se small sections but with the hope that we can utilize our interlocal agreement. Sure. Precinct one because the dollars go a lot further than that. So Mike a few years ago we increased your road budget but then I believe we we cut it back down because we just we just didn't use that much for for for what you guys used.

Well, a couple of years ago we we had to rob it for a couple of projects, the emergency projects. Uh this year we we do have the full 250. We've only utilized a little bit of Yeah. Okay. But you would need an additional 250 above that 250. Correct.

So you still have the every other road but start systematically going through and and true million rep. And again I don't expect it to be a clean 250 each year but again from a a budgetary number. And then the last item on here is the alternate transportation improvements. Go ahead. I was going to say when we get to the budget itself, we'll look at these projects and we'll schedule the specific road that's going to be worked on. So that money will really be allocated and he'll be, you know, directed to do it. That way it's getting done because that's what we need.

That's what hasn't been done in the past, but you haven't had the money to do so, you know, as you started growing. So this will create a ongoing road maintenance and repair list not just casting a net to what if we yeah we'll we'll designate them you know based on this each year that way we have a real project to move forward with and a real dollar I mean one year it might not be a lot of money and then when the next year you know we may need more you know those things will happen in budget but

Okay then the last item I'm on this list is This is alternate improvements. So these are things. So a couple reasons we have this on here. One is there's a bunch of grants that come out for alternate improvements. Helps to be planning for some of those costs. Some are cost share, some are full grants. Uh so we're working on those applications, but also plugging them in here. These aren't allocated to a specific project at this time, but it would be things like sidewalks, trails, bike lanes, anything but driving on the road with a car. So can I ask a question about that?

Sure. What's the scope on that? Is that widen? Wasn't it widening it or so? Cleer itself it needs a lot. Um so the scope that we are envisioning is a on Clipper. Yeah. Tear it down, take it down to the base, rebuild it, widen it. the we're going it'll take a little bit of finagling to see from a rightaway standpoint if we can stay with open ditch versus storm sewer. Um but it's all kind of part of it. So what's in here is a million and a half for that roadway. But again, I think with the downtown redevelopment projects and potential plans that will

that will dictate timing, cost share, scope of those improvements. But it's definitely a road that needs improvement. New York going all the way the full length of Clipper. That's correct. And today we have first phase of it 29 and a second phase of it 32. I'm just saying the streets around

we talked to him about I mean if he comes in he's going to probably want to improve those streets John Butler Caroline planning Okay. If he comes in and wants to rip that stuff out, we also want to do water. Correct. Right. That's all 100% kind of as that plan develops. It's also, we were talking about this earlier, you know, potential additional rideway. And depending on how he lays it out, having, you know, if it's, you know, flagship gets extended north, you know, that's a main corridor. Now we're looking at signals, improving that, improving KPER, and then realigning the the water lines and the side streets. We haven't gotten there yet.

That hasn't been We'll just see. We'll ask him for 100%. He doesn't think it was a year and a half, two years ago, he seen his first plan, his preliminary plan. He he it was significant widening of roads, adding, you know, parallel parking. Um, and he was giving up portions of his lots to do that. So, now his plan's kind of shifted. Instead of going, I think he was going to try to go north from there, I think he's now headed out east from there. But I think too, since this is one in our historic district, part of our heartbeat, I think, and he's I mean, he he lives here, so he wants to make it a good product, too. And he's been very amable that he makes good product.

Yes. I think I was talking to Brent about this like is he good to have those ideas presented at some point before he starts well he's got to acquire all the property he wants first and then he's going to pay now this yeah cuz he's got to go he's got to go get his money

well because he's got to go pay for all the engineers so he already the renderings he showed he paid for all of that and now that's totally changed so now he's kicking out east which is fine which because it expands our downtown footprint which then he's going to bring in more tax space too from and his idea is mom and pop and not national brands on all that which I'm thrilled about but at the same time what does that look like I know partnership was one of the words he said yes we're open to that but what does that look like we don't know the product yet

well and really I mean there's you still need to go there's a whole once the scope of it is determined the development you know feasibility of what is it going to take for water sewer drainage roads there's a and then a development agreement that's going to have Yeah. When we get our when we get our new MEDC director, that'd be a nice thing for her to keep, you know, work with him on and have maybe bring him bring him to MEDC when he's, you know, ready to to to prep everybody with the plan to see where MDC can do what you know.

By that time, y'all are going to be so rich. We're going to cut our budget. Easy killer. Easy killer. Don't leave me no ideas. Right. You know what? As is that you should be over that cutting that budget thing. We're going to do CCP. 2. He's been very good about communication uh this far and he even got plans for what we're doing on McGawan and he's looking at that and you know the parking and and you know of course there's probably a 380 agreement in this and so yeah it has to be

he's not and he's not going to come and build and leave. We know that and he's going to take his names on it and he lives here. So I think that's we might need to get Macau in front of him early. I know we talked about just holding off on that but I don't know just the south side of Mac street. He seen it. We've got it all tied in now. So hopefully when we bid it, it's it's one project all the way down all the way down 105. Yes. Okay. It's going to come out around $2 million. That's where we're at total from college to y so

yeah last time I have last sheet is talks about where money's coming from. So impact fees. This is the most recent projections of where you stand right now. This only includes active developments. So nothing that is inactive. This includes Montgomery Crossing. It's not on this list because that's been there's no movement right now. So, this is only things that we are pretty sure we can count on. Uh, so again, assuming you spent none, which we know we will spend some, you're looking at having roughly almost $8 million in impact fees collected uh by 2029, end of 29. you currently you're sitting on a balance I don't know as of date but approximately $2 million in your that you've have sitting and in 63

and that could only go to infrastructure only going to expansion of infrastru right but your expansion projects you know account for outside of what's already ongoing $40 million of that plan so there's there plenty of projects and just a reminder on impact fees I know we just talked about The state passed new laws. So, you updated your impact fees right at the end of August of last year. That is the last time that you'll be able to for three years. That's right. Because of the new uh state law that's passed. Yeah. So, but the 10 million that we have sitting is already accounted for. We've already spent it on these a lot of our projects.

So, the way that kind of I'm going to get into Maryanne's territory. She'll gladly correct me if I'm wrong. Um the we have the ability to use impact fees to pay for debt. And so some of the debt we recently issued I believe is the intent. So one it's revenue supported. So you did the water and sewer uh fees increase to support that revenue. You also are able to apply your impact fees toward debt payments if needed. Um but right now water and sewer rates have are continuing to increase. We're getting to that time of year. your rate increase has been now in effect for four months. Um but that is so there are there it is safe to say there are no projects that are specifically said okay this water line is going to be paid out of the impact fees in whole.

Okay. So, Maryanne, just uh you don't have to be exact, but can you give me a rough estimate of what we currently dump to capital projects like this, especially what we what I'm sorry, currently putting into capital projects. So it's our own

in this year's budget the we went into it with the idea that we had we were still using the certificate of obligation 24 money. We were using ARPA funds for these projects. We had a very small um amount that we were requiring our own funds for in this year. Um, I can't give you a number off the top of my head, but I know it was like very very little because this year we had built out a little bit differently.

I'm super thankful to have Brent here to understand moving forward in this capital projects and how we need to look at it. So, we will be looking at that differently this year for budget. I don't, you know, we were doing $200,000 a year from EDC that went into that capital project. That did not happen this year because those funds were being used for downtown development directly. Um, so yeah, there was not there wasn't a dire need for additional capital funding this year um based on how we structured it. I think when they send you that supplemental that'll answer some of your questions because you can see exactly city versus developer versus impact fees that that'll help

correct look at those things. Yeah, we'll send that out. We'll also send the updated summary of all the work completed over the past 5 years. So go ahead. Well, the question is for 2026, right? We've got this 41 laid out here, correct? And that's all accounted for or allocated, right? Correct. 100% is funded. But then 2027, 2028, only portions of that are allocated out of the the or the um the um no, the money that we just got

CL. Yeah, correct. Only portions of the 26 through about 29, right? 29 is basically the finish up of our big water project and sewer project, right, that we borrowed that money for. So all of those costs are in 26. So this is not a cash flow. This is when we entered into a we entered into a construction contract in 26. All those costs are in this sheet in 26. So 100% of the of all of the the water tower, everything is in 26. Correct. Correct. What is the 29?

So the the big item in 29 is your next phase of the wastewater treatment plan. Okay. And that is when we'll start you know as development continues whether or not it will be needed. Right. Correct. Likelihood that is placeholder it's going to be needed. It's depending on where um and once we get the permit limits for each, we'll know better on where where that goes. But likelihood is that one is going to be needed. Okay. Pretty sure.

So the other big item in 29 that's that's pushing the number up is you have one a couple of those roadway projects. Uh you have Pleasant, so excuse 28 you have Buffalo Springs um for 2 million bucks. Pleas and then 29 you have Pleas Morgan, Cleper, Pleasant and Cle. So those are all big numbers as leading to that that one but again the biggest is the sewer plant. So hypothetically about 4.2 until the year inject

but when you have what's coming online with HB Texas Roadhouse Academy potentially Lowe's all of that I think that that's going to fill up big enough that gap well it will but that's coming chickens ain't hatch they ain't laid no eggs yet well well it's also important to remember that the timing of that sewer plant to your point is those developments going forward so if I don't want to pick one of his developer X doesn't go forward kill the chicken the plant will also continue to push okay we can be that mobile we can be that flexible

well I mean that's why you're doing the long-term lead items first so you're doing the permits getting those out of the way and then you know we would recommend once we have a path on this plant versus this plant go ahead getting design complete and then putting it on hold for construction until that time comes so you're reducing that lead time as much as possible.

Now you and you and Mike you may have too and you have too is very okay let me just go to everybody in this room that has u been part of other cities government from the seat that I sit in we've looked really responsible we've done a really good job and this looks great for the what our future looks like in today y'all have seen other cities what does that look like to you does this look like we're in a good spot we we chasing our tail or are we what do we how you think of this looks like are we in a healthy spot versus what you've seen other cities so the that's not a trick question

and I know and so the way that I would answer that is the the city of Montgomery has been on a build it as it comes in time not build it way in advance and wait for it to show up not get way out ahead but stay kind of tight just in time which you know is is harder to do uh because you're you're you're fighting with all kinds of different forces, but that's kind of the path that we've been on. Uh, and you're in a good spot with the big projects that you have. You know, your water plant improvements that takes you from 2500 connections and 700,000 gallons a day today to 5,000 connections and 1.3 1.2 million gallons a day of paper capacity. um once that project is complete. You don't if everything builds out in the city you and nothing else new starts, you're under that number. So, you're covered. Your sewer plant, same thing is you're you're bumping it way up to get you further down the line. Um now, there is more that needs to be done, but those are done in phases on a purpose, but again, you're you're not those projects are funded. Uh those projects are wrapping up design and you know, the permits are in place to be able to do those. You're not, you know,

we're not behind, but we're not. And we're just far enough ahead. Not TCQ requires you to start planning a new sewer plane at 75% capacity or at 50. Yeah. And I know that we've been having that discussion with for since I've been here. So, I know that there's been eyes on it and it's been a topic discussion especially in these kind of conversations, these kind of meetings. I mean, just the fact that we're having conversations now, we're not, hey, we have to go replace 30,000 ft of pipe because it's all falling apart, right? Right.

We're talking about, hey, how do we go and let's improve and let's tweak. We're not having and I kind of started out with this is you're not having system issues. You know, yes, things break. They're always going to break, but you're not having constant outages or backups or issues that are occurring. um that's that's interrupting services for any extended amount of time. So Mike, are you aware of sewer uh running onto private pastures or pasture all the time? Okay. maybe half that. Or is that? Yeah, I believe it's Miss Stewart's property if I'm understand. Oh,

years ago we had an issue but it's been fixed for like four years. Okay. Sorry. Just from more public than the fight from out perspective. You see Conroia and then you see Montgomery experience the same type of growth. I think it just that just is a concern probably the general public and I guess it's not really a money standpoint total is a cash flow issue if the growth is so expansive you can't keep up with impact fees but it seemed like there's plan for that Ryan neither one of those cities collect impact fees by the way neither one of them do they asked me how we've done

I guess impact there's a delay as far as like how and as far as designing takes a little bit of time. So, just making sure you're staying that one ahead, making sure you have the cash flow.

And one thing on the impact fees that the city has done as of recent is in development agreements. So, the way that the ordinance is written is they're due at connection. So, it's just in time. Your development agreements, you're having those due at platting, so it's in advance. So, you're able to get that cash in sooner uh versus wait. How it is written is that each individual home pays their impact fees and they connect. So there is no an infusion of cash that we can plan. It's just one by one. And so with the development agreements you've entered into that has them funding those and platting that takes all that up front. So it helps with the the numbers and the timing. And it's important as we move forward and like we are looking at roads, looking at old infrastructure because if you only look at the new stuff and you forget about the old stuff, that'll come back and get you too, you know. So that's why it's

I think that's what happened. It's it's a dance a little bit because as you're a small city, you don't have a lot of money and then all of a sudden you're growing, you don't have a lot of money yet. And so, you know, you're trying to to balance that and and it's tricky. It is and we have to kind of hedge on futures but not everything on futures, right? I think that we're doing I mean you're at what we calculated a 60% build out already.

So, you know, our guesstimates are pretty good right now because we we kind of know where we're going. I mean, annexation and a few other things will maybe add to it at some point, maybe a little more industry, but overall you can project pretty cleanly where it's going. Very good. So, so I just have one request, Chris, is that you save this wherever you save things as a as a master to work off of. Yes.

So, if we make any edits or anything, we're always referencing what'sever master. For sure. So hypothetically the KOA they're in the man they're in the Stanley mud correct but they want to be in the city could we use their infrastructure they have or would that have to all be new infrastructure that they put in and we is there a possibility that we could tie into it? So there short answer is yes. Okay.

Um as public entities you can enter into agreements to provide services or purchase services from others. So, um, you you could purchase, you know, sewer plant capacity where I'm not saying that this makes sense, but hey, in order to serve this site, we're going to purchase 50,000 gallons a day in sewer plant. They're going to charge us per month. We're going to build that to the customer and provide that capacity. Same thing with waters. You could provide that service, interconnects, etc. So, uh, yes, you can enter into we have, you know, not all public entities have their own water and sewer. So you can have a green. Does that make it messy?

I want to say it adds a layer of complication, but it's not something that's abnormal. So then since so let's just say that the developer decides to pay for 50,000 gallons. Does that mean the developer has a vote? Because I know they vote on their boards for the muds. No. Uh because in order to vote, you have to be a resident. Okay. All right. So maybe touch on the the interlocal agreement about the rest of the road up there on Yes. No. Uh old plannersville. Old planters school portion

the the latest um on the old Plannersville old doersville improvements. Uh, so I mentioned that the county, if you look on exhibit D, you can see the the blue. Um, so the original, our original understanding of the county's scope of the improvements project was from Old Dog, Plannersville East across the railroad tracks to 105 improving all the way outside of city hall. They are also what they told us at the meeting a couple weeks ago uh they are also going to improve again uh old Davin Plannersville from 105 to old Plannersville. So just across so by the high school they're going to improve that road again

and they want the city to take it over. So I'm sure that's part of they are supposed to be drafting an interlocal agreement that says yes they're going to approve it and then hand it over. Yeah. If they improve it like they built the original Lonear, we don't want it. They didn't they didn't do Lonear. And what they said in that meeting is they just recently did that and it turned out not good. So they're they're going to make it right and then give it a good history of just throwing some asphalt on the ground. It sounds like they're going to

and some of the terms that we discussed as part of that was okay we will one we have to see the agreement but two city needs to review the plans and specs city needs to also have a chance to accept it as well. So they have to say, hey, we put eyes on it as well as city has to take action to accept the infrastructure. And what they were talking about preliminarily is that it would be accepted by the city when the project is complete and they would assign all the bonds and insurance over to the city for the to call the contractor on warranty related items. So we still get the one-year warranty. And she sent out a draft of that already.

Okay, perfect. I can't even tell by the map if that's part of our city or not. It is right. So the the city limits line is the property line of the high school. Um so that road is not in it. So that's part of one of the provisions of the agreement is a annexation of those roadways into the city limits. So chief luck but um city can enforce all ordinances on it. So, are you going to I mean, who who looks at the uh the specs from the county is they'll provide them blanket to the city that they'll provide and the city has to approve the plans and specs because they did try to have it one star several how many times?

Yeah. Several times we don't at that what it is if they redo it, we will. Right. Well, and also Lonear had a lot of issues and has had a lot of issues for a long time. And when we had the $3 million budget, we really couldn't afford to to do, but now with them doing the $100 million bond on it, I know they're going to want to give it to us. Although we have another we have a new commissioner, so All right. Well done. Thank you. Thank you very much. That was awesome. Thank you. Appreciate it. Sorry. Thanks to Zach and Jensen for getting over.

Well, well done, Zach. Good job. Stand out. Thank you, Jensen, wherever you are today. No, that was good. That was straightforward. And um feel like we talk about this at every meeting, but this was learned some things, right? Which is great. And that's how I put it all together. We didn't learn 911 things, they learned good things. So, thank you. Anybody else? Okay. Uh closing agenda, council inquiry. Anything on a future? Did you get everything satisfied? I think you wanted to. Yep. This is what I was looking for. Perfect. Then items number seven, items considered for placement for or council inquiry.
