[J.1. Discussion and possible action regarding the development and funding of the 2024 Hays County Transportation Program, including potential projects, the issuance of debt, and bond election procedures. INGALSBE/SHELL]

[00:15:01]

>> LET'S DO IT THAT'S OPEN J1 PLEASE. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING DEVELOPMENT AND ENDING OF THE 2024 TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM INCLUDING POTENTIAL OBJECT, THE ISSUANCE OF DEBT AND BOND ELECTION FEATURES.

>> COMMISSIONER. >> I KNOW WE HAVE JULIE HOUSTON, THE BONDS CANCEL HERE. WE HAD A PRESENTATION ON PROJECT. A BOND FOR THE COURT TO CONSIDER AND NOVEMBER ELECTION. COMING UP THERE IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. WE CAN TALK ABOUT BOND LANGUAGE FOR US AND WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE, WHAT WE WOULD NEED TO APPROVE THE COURT CHOSE TO DO SO.

>> GOOD MORNING. I AM WITH THE LAW FIRM, YOUR BOND COUNSEL.

YOU'VE RECEIVED AS YOUR BACKUP A DRAFT ORDER THAT HAD TO BE DISCUSSED AS FAR AS THE INSERTION FOR THE PROJECT. HE IS ALSO PREPARED AT JORDAN POWELL'S REQUEST SCENARIOS. SO LOOK AT THE PROPOSITION AND WHAT THE BALLOT LANGUAGE PUBLIC LIKE. I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE JUSTIN, MY COLLEAGUE WHO WORKS WITH ME ON COUNTY MATTERS. HE IS GOING TO HAND THOSE OUT.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT WE ARE NOT ADOPTING THE ORDER TODAY. THE DRAFT ORDER WAS JUST PROVIDED SO YOU COULD SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AND WHAT STATE LAW REQUIRES IT TO BE IN THAT ORDER, CALLING A COUNTY BOND ELECTION. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT TODAY'S DISCUSSION IS GOING TO FOCUS ON THE PROPER LANGUAGE AND WHICH PROJECT YOU WOULD LIKE TO INCLUDE IN THE PROPER LANGUAGE IF ANY. SO WHAT I'VE DONE HERE IS OUR FOR FOR DIFFERENT SCENARIOS. SCENARIO ONE IS THE STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS. AT A MINIMUM, THIS IS THE INFORMATION THAT WOULD NEED TO BE IN YOUR PROPOSITION FOR A ROAD PROJECT UNDER SECTION 52 OF THE CONSTITUTION. THE MINIMUM REQUIRED TO BE ON THE BALLOT. IT PRETTY MUCH TRACKS THE STATUTORY AND CONSTITUTIONAL LANGUAGE. AND THEN TO CONTRAST THAT, IF YOU LOOK AT SCENARIO NUMBER TWO, THAT INCLUDES THE STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS. IT'S GOING TO STAY IN BLACK, BUT IT INCLUDES A CATEGORY OF THE TRANSPORTATION PROJECT TO BE UNDERTAKEN. SO THAT'S IN RED.

KIND OF A LAUNDRY LIST OF THE TYPES OF ROAD PROJECT.

ENVIRONMENTAL HIGHWAYS, REMEDIATION, PEDESTRIAN WALKWAYS, THAT ARE OUT. THAT WAS JUST ABOUT LOOKING AT THE LARGE LIST OF PROJECT PRESENTED BACK ON JULY 2ND AND KIND OF USING THE CATEGORIES INCLUDED THERE AND SHOWING THE

CATEGORIES AND PROJECT. >> WHILE IT'S AS GOOD AS CATEGORIES, IT ALLOWS THE EVOLUTION OF PROJECT SOME

FLEXIBILITY, CORRECT? >> YEAH. THERE IS ALWAYS A CATCH ALL. IT IS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE TYPES OF PROJECT. THEN IF YOU LOOK AT THE PROPOSITION, THE READ THAT HAS BEEN ADDED SUMMARIZES CATEGORIES OF IMPROVEMENTS. IF YOU GO TO SCENARIO THREE, OKAY, THEN, WE HAVE THE STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS IN BLACK. WE ALSO INCLUDED THE CATEGORIES OF THE PROJECT IN RED. THE TRANSPORTATION PROJECT IS GOING TO CONSTRUCTION IN BLUE. YOU CAN SEE WE ARE JUST BUILT ON WHAT WE LOOK AT AND PRIOR SCENARIOS. YOU'VE GOT ALL YOUR CATEGORIES. THIS IS JUST FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES. THESE WERE THE PROJECT THAT WE ARE GOING TO CONSTRUCTION. FOUR

[00:20:25]

SCENARIO, YOU GOT THE STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS. YOU'VE GOT THE CATEGORIES OF PROJECT IN RED. WE HAVE A PLACE TO ACTUALLY INSERT NOT JUST THE ONES GOING TO AUCTION BUT THE PROJECT THAT WERE GOING TO BE INITIATED AND IN PROGRESS AND IT LOOKED MUCH LIKE WHAT YOU SEE IN SCENARIO THREE PARAGRAPH TO DELINEATE WHICH ONE IS GOING TO CONSTRUCTION'S WORK ON THING MINUTE TO THINK ABOUT AS REPORT AND INFORMATION HERE IF THE PROJECT IS NOT GOING TO CONSTRUCTION, WE NEED TO BE THERE ABOUT THAT SO THAT VOTERS DON'T GET CONFUSED.

>> I LIKE IT. AND OF THE LANGUAGE GETS PRETTY LONG AND ADDING ALL OF THE PROJECT. I ALSO THINK IT IS IMPORTANT FOR OUR RESIDENTS TO KNOW WHAT'S BEING CONSTRUCTED. WELCOME TO HEAR COMMENTS FROM THE COURT. I CAN IMAGINE HOW LONG THE LANGUAGE IS GOING TO BE IF WE ADD EVERY SINGLE PROJECT ON THE

LIST. >> I'M PARTIAL TO SCENARIO THREE. I LIKE THAT IT'S LISTED OUT THERE FOR ALL OF OUR VOTERS TO ACTUALLY DO WHAT IS GOING ON IN THEIR PRECINCT. IF THIS IS ADOPTED BY THE COURT AND PUT ON THE BALLOT, WE CAN DO OUR PART TO DO THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND HELP YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THEM, WHERE THEY LIVE AND TRAVEL. I DO LIKE HOW

IT'S DETAILED. >> TO BE CLEAR, I CAN DO THAT FOR THE COUNTY, AS WELL.'S PUT ALL THE PROJECT IN THERE THAT YOU ULTIMATELY DECIDE ON IN THEIR. AND CLARIFY WHICH ONES ARE GOING TO CONSTRUCTION AND I WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT THE LANGUAGE THAT IS USED IN, WITH SOME JUST OPTIONS OF PROJECT THAT ARE JUST GOING THROUGH DESIGN AND PRELIMINARY STAGES.

THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE SCENARIO THREE BUT IT WOULD JUST BE MORE HANDED. IT WAS JUST A LOT OF PROJECTS AND I WASN'T SURE WHICH ONES THE COUNTY WANTED TO PURSUE. I CAN DO THE SAME STRUCTURE THAT YOU SEE IN SCENARIO THREE. WITH ALL THE PROJECT. I CAN DELINEATE WHICH ONES ARE GOING TO INSTRUCTIONS AND WHICH ONES ARE GOING TO DEVELOPMENTAL AND LAND

ACQUISITION PROCESS. >> I RECALL THERE WAS ONE CALL THAT WE DID, AND THE FORMAT WASN'T QUITE LIKE THIS. IT WAS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT CIRCUIT LIST OF THE PROJECT BUT IT WAS IN THIS SAME TYPE OF FORMAT HERE, NOT LISTED IN BULLET

POINTS. >> I'M NOT REAL PARTICULAR ON WHAT THAT FORMAT IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE. EITHER WAY, WE ARE TRYING NOT TO PUT BULLET POINTS. EITHER WAY IS FINE WITH ME. I AGREE THAT JUST NAMING THE PROJECT WITH THE BENEFICIAL, I THINK. WE'VE GOT THE PROPOSITION LANGUAGE THAT WILL GET POSTED ON YOUR INTERNET WEBSITE. IT WILL ALSO BE OUT ALL OF THE POLLING LOCATIONS. WE ALSO HAVE THE BALLOT LANGUAGE. THE BALLOT LANGUAGE CAN NEVER SAY IT MORE THAN THE PROPOSITION. THE ÚBALL THEY ACTUALLY GO TO THE HOLE.

WE CAN DO SOMETHING SHORTER THERE SO YOU DON'T LOSE THEM.

KNOWING THAT THE PROPOSITION IS GOING TO BE ON YOUR WEBSITE.

PART OF THE CONTRACT WITH THE VOTERS.

>> I THINK I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING, JUDGE. FOR ME, FOR SURE, ON THE PROPOSITION LANGUAGE, WE WANT TO BE AS DETAILED AS POSSIBLE. AND WE WANT ALL OF OUR MATERIAL THAT WE USE FOR EDUCATION PURPOSES IN THE PUBLIC TO FOLLOW THAT. AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WE ADVERTISE, WHETHER IT IS A

[00:25:03]

PAMPHLET OR A WEB VETERAN IT, IT'S SAID IN THE PROPOSITION LANGUAGE. WHERE DOES IT GET SO LONG OR CONFUSING? DO WE WANT TO LIMIT THE ACTUAL BALLOT LANGUAGE? TO WHAT IS THE FIRST SCENARIO. WE WANT TO INCLUDE EVERYTHING IN THE BALLOT LANGUAGE? IT WILL BE LONG IN GENERAL FOR THIS ELECTION IS ASHLEY FROM ERIC COUNTY WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT PROPOSITIONS GOING ON. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THAT IT'S GETTING CONFUSING FOR A VOTER. GETS SORT OF LOST IN THE DETAILS. BUT FOR THE PROPOSITION, BUT WE DEFINITELY WANT TO BE AS DETAILED AS

POSSIBLE. >> I THINK THE MORE INFORMATION, THE BETTER. I DO LIKE THE SCENARIO WHERE WE LIST OUT ALL THE PROJECT, NOT JUST THOSE GOING TO CONSTRUCTION.

THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE , WE WOULD HAVE TO PROPOSITION IT OURSELVES AND THERE MIGHT BE CONFUSION WHEN WE LOOK AT THE OVERALL PROJECT. THE AVERAGE CONSTITUENT WILL LOOK AND SAY WHAT'S IN THAT AREA? THEY'RE NOT GOING TO LOOK AND SAY THIS IS PRECINCT 1. WHERE IS IT AT? WHENEVER WE HAVE THOSE LIST IS, CAN WE DO GENERALIZED AREAS? OR REGIONAL PROJECTS, SAN MARCUS, BECAUSE IF I GO TO THE BALLOT BOX , I KNOW IT IS THERE BUT THE AVERAGE VOTER DOES NOT. IN GENERAL THEY WILL WALK INTO THE BOX AND SAY WHAT'S HAPPENING IN MY AREA? I KNOW THESE ARE CATEGORIZED BY PRECINCT, BUT IS THERE A WAY, CAN WE -- RESORT SPENT JUST BY THE GENERAL LOCATION OF THE PROJECT AND THE LIST OR DOES IT HAVE TO BE LIST BY PRECINCT?

>> IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LISTED BY PRECINCT. THAT'S JUST ONE METHOD. LUCKY. COUNTYWIDE. AND THE APPRECIATION OF EVERY COMMISSIONERS CONTRIBUTION.

STARTING FROM LAST TO FIRST, COMMISSIONER SMITH'S PERSPECTIVE OF GOING BY MUNICIPALITY FOOTPRINT MAKES MOST SENSE. WE ARE GEEKS IN THIS LANE, RIGHT? WE KNOW MORE THAN MOST. WE WANT TO MAKE IT EASILY CONSUMABLE BY THE PERSON YOU WILL CROSS AT HEB. WHAT'S GOING ON? IS 100% RIGHT MICHELLE TALKING ABOUT THE ARTICULATION OF DETAIL IN THE CONTRACT WITH THE VOTERS IS SIMPLY RIGHT. GOT TO BE A WAY TO MAKE IT MORE SUSTAINED. COMMISSIONER COHEN WITH ITEM NUMBER THREE, THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY. I LIKE NUMBER THREE, AS WELL. BECAUSE WHAT COMMISSIONER INGALSBE WAS SAYING WAS YES, WE NEED THE DETAILS, BUT DOING IT THAT MUCH DETAIL? WE ARE ALL SAYING THE SAME THING. WE SURE WHICH PROJECTS WE AGREE ON AND WHICH ONES WE DON'T. IF THE COMMISSIONER DOESN'T AGREE, WE CAN GO BUT IS OF HOLIDAY FOOT PRINT. MAY BE THE LARGER MUNICIPALITIES IN WESTERN HAYS COUNTY PROJECTS. CATEGORIZING ALL OF THEM TOGETHER. I LIKE

THAT IDEA. >> ANY OF THESE PROJECTS LOCATED WITHIN THE CORPORATE LIMITS OF THE CITY.

UNINCORPORATED AREAS, YOU COULD DO IT BY, LIKE WE SAID, NORTHWEST REGION OR HOWEVER IT IS BEST TO DESCRIBE.

>> I THINK THAT MIGHT BE MOST USEFUL. THE SOONER WE ARTICULATE THIS IN BUTTON IT DOWN ON A NUMBER OF PROJECT, THE SOONER I KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO AS I WAS CHAIR OF THE BLUE RIBBON BOND COMMITTEE FOR THE SAN MARCO SCHOOL DISTRICT. I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN SUPPORTING BONDS.

[00:30:02]

OUR JOB IS TO INFORM AND NOT REMOTE. OUR JOB IS TO BE HERE WHEN WE HAVE THOSE AIDS TO HELP ARTICULATE YOUR COURT PROJECTS AND WHERE? I REALLY DO FEEL IT COULD BE MOST INFORMATIVE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT AREAS. OKAY, I CAN DO THAT WORK

>> WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ON THE BOND BALLOT LANGUAGE VERSUS THE PROPOSITION LANGUAGE? DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT IS TOO MUCH TO TRY TO PUT IN A BALLOT LANGUAGE. IS THAT POSSIBLE?

>> JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, DOES YOUR ELECTIONS ADMINISTRATOR

HAVE A MINIMUM? >> SHE IS BEHIND US.

>> IF YOU DO NOT MIND, SHE IS ASKING THE QUESTION. DO YOU MIND APPROACHING THE PODIUM, STATING YOUR NAME TO ANSWER A

QUESTION? >> JENNIFER, ELECTION ADMINISTRATOR. I DO NOT HAVE AN EXACT MINIMUM. I WOULD SAY TO COMMISSIONER SHELLS POINT THIS IS A VERY LONG BALLOT. AND INDEPENDENCE ON THIS BALLOT. IT'S GOING TO BE VERY WORDY. I THINK THE LESS YOU SAY ON THE BALLOT LANGUAGE, THE BETTER

PEOPLE WILL UNDERSTAND. >> MORE SENTENCES. YOU COULD DO

IT. THANK YOU, JENNIFER. >> YOU'RE WELCOME. I

APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT. >> YOU SEE THE CHALLENGE AT

HAND. >> I DO.

>> OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE, COMMISSIONERS?

>> IS THAT ENOUGH DIRECTION?

>> JUST TO CLARIFY, IT WOULD HAVE PROJECT CONSTRUCTION.

>> THEN THE BALLOT THAT IS CONCISE ENOUGH.

>> THANK YOU FOR THAT, COMMISSIONER SMITH. WE NEED TO INFORM THE VOTERS THAT WE ARE THE FAST THIS GROWING REGION IN THE NATION. IF WE DON'T GIVE UP EMMA WE WILL CAUSE TROUBLE.

WE HATE THE TRAFFIC BECAUSE IT'S NOT FLOWING. IF WE SHOW THE COMMUNITY ALL OF THE THINGS THAT THIS ENTAILS, I THINK THERE WILL BE A BETTER POTENTIAL BUY-IN.

>> THIS IS MORE OF A TECHNICAL QUESTION. ALL ABOUT BRINGING US UNDER BUDGET ON TIME. ON ANY OF THE BACKGROUND AND EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, DOES IT AND IF IT IS THAT ONE OF THE REASONS I WANTED TO ENSURE ALL THE PROJECT DURING THEIR IS BECAUSE SAY WE ARE PLANNING SOMETHING ON A PROJECT.

>> REVIEW THE LETTERS FOR THE VIEWERS?

>> IF WE ARE DOING THE INITIAL ENGINEERING SITE ON A PROJECT AND WE THAT AND THAT IS WHAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE BOND AND WE FINISHED THAT IN A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD AND BECOMING 15% BELOW BUDGET ON THAT, BY LISTING THEM IN THERE AND NOT HAVING JUST THE GENERAL THINGS, DOES IT GIVE US MORE FLEXIBILITY TO TRY TO RECOUP THOSE FUNDS TO USE ANOTHER PROJECT TO SAVE MONEY

IN THE OVERALL BOND? >> SURE.

>> I'M NOT ASKING IF THE RIGHT WAY, PROBABLY. WE WANT THE FLEXIBILITY TO SAY OKAY, WE'VE DONE WELL ON THIS PROJECT. WE RECOUP THAT AND PUT THAT WHERE, PERHAPS THE ACQUISITION IS MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE? IF THERE ARE FUNDS LEFT OVER, THEY CAN BE USED FOR ANY PROJECT, ANY TYPE OF ROAD PROJECT. WE HAVE RUN INTO THIS IN THE PAST, BY DESIGNATING THEM INDIVIDUALLY, CAN WE RECOUP THOSE BEFORE THE END, OR DO YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL ALL THE PROJECT ARE DONE AT THE END OF THE BOND AND SEE

WHERE WE ARE AT? >> I DO. I REMEMBER TALKING TO MARK ABOUT THIS. IF THERE CAN BE FUN SET-ASIDE TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT AND YOU CAN CLEARLY SHOW THAT IT IS SURPLUS, WE CAN USE THEM FOR EXTRA PROJECT. FUNDING SET ASIDE AND EARMARK FOR THE PROJECT THAT YOU SAY YOU ARE

NOT GOING TO DO. >> I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT ANSWERED MY WESTERN. SAY I HAVE PROJECT A PEER GUY COME SAVE $50,000 OFF THE PROJECT. CAN I TAKE THAT AND PUT IT INTO PROJECT HE OR DO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE REMAINDER OF THE BOND IS EVENTUALLY AND PRESENT LEFT OR WHATEVER AND USE IT THEN?

>> IS PROJECT BE A LISTED PROJECT?

[00:35:01]

>> YES, YOU CAN PUT IT IN THE NEXT PROJECT.

>> COMMISSIONER SMITH IS ASKING THESE QUESTIONS BECAUSE FOLKS MAY NOT REALIZE THIS BUT THE 2016 ROAD BOND, WE ARE STILL USING MONEY FROM IT. THIS ASKED WILL GO BEYOND THIS CURRENT COURT, 100%. WE ARE FRAMING THE FUTURE GOVERNMENT TO DO WITH THE VOTERS ARE ASKING FOR, AND THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO SAY IT, IN A POLITE WAY, HOLDING THEIR FEET TO THE FIRE OF THE CONTRACT THAT WAS VOTED ON. THE 2002 BOND MONEY TO SPEND ON THE PROJECT. THAT'S THE REASON I WANT THE FLEXIBILITY TO CLOSE

OUT THIS PROJECT. >> SO GREAT ALL. ANY OTHER

QUESTIONS? >> ONE CLARIFICATION. IT MIGHT BE KNOWN . FOR PEOPLE WHO SHARE SOME OF THIS IN PRECINCT 1, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE JUST THE SAN MARCO'S AREA. IT WILL BE SEEING MARCUS AND KYLE AREA. SOME OF THESE GO INTO DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE SAN MARCO'S AREA.

WHAT WE NEED CLARIFICATION ON.

>> WE WILL DEFINITELY WORK WITH YOUR CONSULTANT TO HAVE THEM LABEL WHERE THESE PROJECTS ARE. CONSISTENT WITH TWO AREAS, WHETHER THAT TO CITIES OR AN UNINCORPORATED AREA. WE WILL TRY TO MAKE SURE WE GET THAT DELINEATED. WE CAN DO THE PROPOSITION LANGUAGE IN TWO WAYS. ONE WHERE IT KIND OF AUTOS TOGETHER IN PARAGRAPH FORM OR WE CAN PUT IT IN BULLETS IF YOU WANT TO SEE BOTH.

>>, FAN OF THE BULLETS. ENOUGH THE PERSON AT HEB. I KEEP GOING THERE BECAUSE WE GO THERE. THEY WILL SEE THE BULLET IN THEIR MINDS QUICKER THAN A PARAGRAPH HERE

>> THE IDEA IS GREAT. WHATEVER YOU THINK IS BEST TO SUPPORT YOUR ARTICULATION. THERE WILL DO EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT. SAN MARCO'S AREA, KYLE AREA OR DEPENDING ON WHERE THEY ARE

VOTING, MIGHT BE YOUR MARKER. >> WE WILL FIGURE IT OUT.

SCHEDULED TO CALL THE ELECTION LAST TUESDAY. THE LAST DAY IS THE 19TH. JUST MAKING SURE WE CAN MEET NEXT TUESDAY.

>> WE ARE MEETING EVERY TUESDAY.

>> BUDGET SEASON. >> RIGHT, RIGHT HERE WE WILL ALSO NEED TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY PROJECT ON THAT PRESENTATION THAT ARE NOT MOVING FORWARD. ALL OF THAT PRESENTATION. AS LONG AS EVERYBODY HAS GIVEN THE FINAL IDEAS, UPDATES, DEBTOR APPEARED COREY, DO YOU MIND?

>> THANK YOU FOR THAT. >> MY NAME IS COREY. I WORK FOR

-- >> ANCER, ONE OF THOSE LETTERS?

>> GENERAL ENGINEERING AND CONSULTING. THE ONLY UPDATES THAT WE HAVE FROM THE PRESENTATION THAT WE DELIVERED ON THE SECOND, THERE ARE TWO UPDATES. THE FIRST ONE IS REGARDING THE PHASE TWO PROJECT. ON JULY 2ND, WE HAD NOTED THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE DOING AN INTERIM ACTION WHICH WOULD MEAN WE WOULD BE BUILDING TWO LANES. SINCE JULY 2ND, WE'VE DECIDED TO ADVANCE TO A FULLY BUILT SECTION WHICH MEANS THE FORELAND ADDING THE THIRD AND FOURTH LANE AS WELL AS THE GRASS MEDIAN DUE TO THE PLAN TO EXPAND THEIR CAMPUS THERE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE HILL. MAKE WAY FOR THAT AND GET READY FOR THAT COMPLEX. MOVING FORWARD WITH THE PROPOSED BOND

PACKAGE. >> I CAN REMEMBER WHEN WE HAD TO DO THE IMPROVEMENT IN FRONT OF THAT. WE RECEIVED NO NOTIFICATION, WHAT SO EVER UNTIL WE GOT NOTIFICATION THAT THE SCHOOL IS GOING TO BE THERE NEXT YEAR AND THEY ARE ACTUALLY ANTICIPATING BUILDING AT THAT CAMPUS, 2 TO 3 YEARS NOW.

THEY'RE TRYING TO GET IN FRONT OF IT ADDITIONAL HIGH SCHOOL THERE. IT'S THEM ACTUALLY TRYING TO COORDINATE WITH US

[00:40:05]

FOR ONCE. >> I WILL ASK YOU PLEASE PASS ON THIS MESSAGE. I HAVE TOLD TUCKER, OUR REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE REGION, AND YOU SAID GRASS MEDIAN, I HEAR MAINTENANCE, I HEAR TROUBLE I HEAR DOGS, I HEAR IT'S NOT IMPERVIOUS. THE DESIGN OF GRANITE, ROCKS. SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE CONSTANT TAX DOLLARS TO MAINTAIN THE UP KEEP. YOU WILL HAVE ENOUGH KEEP AN EXPENSE, POTENTIALLY A WATER BILL THAT NOBODY WANTS, NOBODY WANTS. PLEASE PASS THAT ALONG.

>> THE SECOND OF DATE ON THE PROJECT, DECIDING TO REDUCE AND REMOVE THE RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION ACTIVITIES DUE TO THE GENERAL NATURE OF THE ALIGNMENT AND THE SURROUNDED AREA APPEARED THOSE TO UPDATE REDUCE THE OVERALL BOND PACKAGE SIZE TO APPROXIMATELY $10 MILLION. WHAT WE HAD PROPOSED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MONTH WAS A $450 MILLION PACKAGE. THE LATEST THAT WE'VE PUT TOGETHER IS APPROXIMATELY 400 $40 MILLION, SO THAT WILL SAVE SOME MONEY FOR EVERYBODY ON THAT ONE. THOSE ARE THE ONLY UPDATES THAT WE HAVE, MEANING THAT THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL PROJECT THAT WE PLANNED TO ADD.

>> THE LIST THAT YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN IS THE LIST WE PLAN TO GO

FORWARD WITH. >> TO CLARIFY, IT HAS NOT BEEN REMOVED. COURT DESIGNATED TO AUTHORIZE THE STUDY LAST YEAR.

WE ARE GOING TO MOVE THROUGH DOING THOSE IN THE REGULAR BUDGET OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS. THE RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION FOR THE FINALIZED PROJECT THROUGH THE PHYSICIAN POT AND OUT OF BONDED SELF. REMOVING THE PROJECT AS A PRIORITY. WE ARE DOING SOME STUFF BEFORE WHERE THE BOND WOULD BE READY. IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAVE A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTOOD THAT.

>> IT STAYS IN THE PROPOSED BOND. AND WE ARE ADVANCING

DESIGN. >> I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE FULLY SUPPORTED, 100%. NOTHING IS WELL ENOUGH OF YOUR LIST, AM I RIGHT? THAT'S CORRECT. THE NEED IS THERE.

>> ANYTHING ELSE, COMMISSIONER SHELL ?

>> ONE CLARIFICATION AS YOU ARE ALL DRAFTING THIS AND LOOKING AT THE LANGUAGE AS FAR AS WHAT IS OUTLINED FOR EACH PROJECT, I DO WANT TO GO OVER , AT SOME POINT, AND I CAN DO THAT WITH OUR CONSULTANT, LOOKING AT THE PROJECT TO MAKE SURE IF THE AVERAGE VOTER WALKS IN THEIR, SAYING OKAY, THIS IS SPECIFICALLY FOR SAFETY AND IMPROVEMENT. I WOULD ENCOURAGE EACH OF US TO SAY THIS IS WHAT THE BULLET POINT IS GOING TO SAY. JUST TO MAKE SURE. I KNOW YOU NEED THAT LIKE YESTERDAY. I WANT THE VOTER TO WASH OUT -- NOT PUTTING MONEY TOWARDS 1826.

IT'S NOT IN THERE, BUT I'M JUST SAYING WHAT DOES IT MEAN? 1826 IMPROVEMENT. SOMETHING DIRECT AND I CAN HELP YOU WITH EACH ONE OF THOSE. MAYBE ONE OR TWO ADJUSTMENTS AND THAT'S IT.

THE VOTERS WON'T SEE THAT EXCEPT HANGING AT THE POLLS. IT IS THE BALLOT LANGUAGE THAT THE VOTER WILL SEE.

>> TURNED TO KEEP THAT SHORTER. WAS GOING TO PUT PROJECT IN THEIR. CANNOT THINK THAT WAS THE DIRECTION EARLIER.

>> TALKING ABOUT PROPOSITION LANGUAGE.

>> JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE. >> THE INFORMATION WILL BE SHARED AND WE WILL HAVE THAT TO THE VOTERS.

>> OKAY, SEE YOU NEXT WEEK?

[00:45:15]

>> I TELL YOU WHAT, YOU'RE NOT A REGULAR IN HERE. I APPRECIATE USED. NAME AND TITLE FOR THE VIEWING PUBLIC AND YOU WILL

HAVE THREE MINUTES. >> BEFORE YOU LEAVE, COULD YOU

FILL OUT A FORM? >> I AM A RESIDENT OF SUN FIELD. THE PURPOSE OF MY COMMENTS TODAY, CAN YOU PASS THOSE OUT? IN ONE HAND INTO YOU, THE DOCUMENTS INCLUDE THAT 2013 TRANSPORTATION PLAN, 2013 AMENDED TRANSPORTATION PLAN FOR 2021 AMENDED TRANSPORTATION PLAN. THE RISK HIGHLIGHTED WITH TURNERSVILLE ROAD. IT ALSO HAS A DOCUMENT THAT SHOWS THE COMMUNITY AREA. HAYS COUNTY NOW HAS NEW CONSTRUCTION SINCE THE CITY HAD BEEN ELIMINATED. BUILDING OUT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS, WE WILL HAVE 7500 RESIDENTS IN THAT AREA. TO 20,000 THOSE. THEN AFTER THAT IS THE HAYS COUNTY 2013 TRANSPORTATION PLAN . INCLUDING THE 2006 TRANSPORTATION PLAN AND B HAYS COUNTY 2013 TRANSPORTATION PLAN WITH B HAYS COUNTY OUTLOOK FROM THE 2013 PLAN. BEMIS AND FIELD ROADWAY MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT, BUT THE AGREEMENT IS ACTUALLY WITH HAYS COUNTY . THE PURPOSE FOR ALL OF THAT IS THAT SEVERAL DECADES, IT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED CLEARLY. TURNERSVILLE ROAD AND MAIN STREET ARE MAJOR THOROUGHFARES. WASN'T ABLE TO FIND ALL OF THE DETAIL THAT YOU WERE REFERRING TO. I DID HAVE THE DRAFT COPY BUT THE DRAFT OF THE BOND DID SAY THAT INCLUSION OF ROAD TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS TO BE DISCUSSED. THIS IS JUST WANTING TO GET IN FRONT OF YOU, COMMISSIONERS. THIS IS A TERRIBLE AREA, TERRIBLE. ON TURNERSVILLE ROAD, DRIVING MAINSTREET FOR WHAT'S THERE. IT'S A BEFORE AND THAT THE ROADWAY STRUCTURE IS WHAT IS THERE AND THAT IS WHAT HAS BEEN PLANNED OUT BETWEEN THE CITY AND HAYS COUNTY TO SERVE THESE

20,000 VEHICLES. >> BEAUTIFULLY SAID. MOST GRATEFUL FOR THE LEVEL OF PREPARATION. NORTHERN PART OF THE COUNTY. IT WILL ABSOLUTELY GO OVER THIS MATERIAL AND MAKE SURE PART OF THE CONVERSATION. IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE VOLTE DELL -- FULL DETAIL OF ALL PROJECT, IT'S JULY 2ND.

>> IT IS ON THE WEBSITE RIGHT NOW.

>> BUT ALSO THE ENTIRE PRESENTATION COREY GAVE US IS RECORDED IF YOU GO TO THE COUNTY'S WEBSITE. IT'S VERY EASY TO NAVIGATE. USE BE ABLE TO GO TO THE COURT. WAS IT JULY

2ND THAT WE MET? >> YOU CAN CLICK HIS PRESENTATION AND AGENDA ITEM AND IT WILL POPULATE AND GIVE YOU EVERY SINGLE ITEM. IN DETAIL, WHAT WAS THERE, AND IT SINCE YOU ARE WRITING, HERE IS MY PHONE NUMBER. I WANT TO -- WHAT IS MY PHONE NUMBER? 393-2205 . ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR CLARIFICATION, I WILL ABSOLUTELY BE AVAILABLE.

THE COMMISSIONERS ARE THE MASTERS OF THEIR FOOTPRINT BUT I WILL HAPPILY BE AN OVERLAY TO SUPPORT WHATEVER YOU NEED.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ONE QUICK CAVEAT. THE AGREEMENT WITH THE UTILITY DISTRICT, ACTUALLY SEVERAL DIFFERENT ONES. BOTH OF THEM SUN FIELD. WHICH MAINSTREET IN HAYS COUNTY, ALTHOUGH IT ALSO GOES INTO TRAVIS COUNTY. IT IS

OBVIOUSLY A COMPLEX MASS. >> AND AUSTIN.

[00:50:03]

>> IT'S TRUE. >> AND THE ISSUE WITH MAINSTREET, GETTING IT ALL DONE. ULTIMATELY, THE DOCUMENT FOR THE LAST FOUR PAGES. THEY'VE TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF MEN'S STREET IN HAYS COUNTY , BEYOND FIRE RECKER ROAD. FROM FRONTAGE ROAD TO FIRE RECKER. SUN FIELD TAXPAYERS, THE DISTRICT RESIDENTS HAVE PAID FOR AND WILL CONTINUE WHETHER IT IS IN HAYS COUNTY OR IN TRAVIS COUNTY. THE INSTALLATION OF MAINSTREET. RIGHT NOW, THERE IS A CURRENT ISSUE FROM FRONTAGE ROAD TO FIRECRACKER ROAD. IT CONTRIBUTED $3 MILLION THIS PAST MONTH. CONTRIBUTING $3 MILLION FOR THEIR EXECUTION OF THAT SEGMENT OF THE ACCESS ROAD OF I 35 TO FIRECRACKER. THE CITY IS LOOKING AT HOW TO FUND THAT PROJECT OVERALL. IT'S JUST SHY OF A $10 MILLION PROJECT. I WOULD ASK THE COUNTY TO CONSIDER THAT THE ROADWAY IS MEN'S TREAT ON ALL OF THE LIST AS WE TALKED ABOUT. AND ASK THE COUNTY TO LOOK AT WHAT RESPONSIBILITY THEY HAVE TO LOOK AT FINANCING, GETTING THAT SEGMENT OF ROAD FROM THE ACCESS ROAD TO FIRECRACKER. JUST FOR CLARIFICATION IT'S WITHIN CITY

LIMITS. >> I WANT TO MAKE SURE WHAT HE IS SAYING IS PROPERLY RECORDED.

>> SOME OLD LATELY, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIM. WE HAVE AN ITEM ON THE AGENDA TODAY, AS WELL, AROUND THE TRAFFIC LIGHT INSTALLATION THAT WILL BE GOING ON AS IT IS BEING SHARED BETWEEN THE CITY AND HAYS COUNTY. MY UNDERSTANDING IT IS 75% HAYS COUNTY . WILL THEY HAS TO DO WITH THE INTERSECTION. I WOULD JUST ASK -- ULTIMATELY, THE RESIDENTS WANT THAT ROADWAY TAKING CARE OF AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE CITY IS SAYING THEY DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS COMPILED YET TO BE ABLE TO EXIT THAT. EVEN THOUGH THAT ROADWAY IS NOT IN THE MUD, IT'S CONTRIBUTED $3 MILLION. IF THE CITY WERE TO CONTRIBUTE $3 MILLION AND IF HAYS COUNTY WERE TO CONTRIBUTE $3 MILLION, SUDDENLY THERE IS NONE MILLION DOLLARS TO GET THE ROADWAY STARTED . THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME TODAY.

>> WE HAVE JUST A FEW MINUTES. AT 10:00, I COMMITTED TO OPENING AN EXECUTIVE SESSION ITEM. SO LET'S LOOK AT J2,

I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MANY INDIVIDUAL VETERANS IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE HAVE TOLD ME WHAT AN ISSUE IT IS AND REALLY A BURDEN ON OUR CONSTITUENTS THAT IN ORDER TO ACCESS THOSE SERVICES OVER TIME, JUST THIS YEAR JUST ENDS TO GET TO THE OFFICE HERE IN SAN MARCUS. AS WE'VE LOOKED AT OR AS WE STARTED LOOKING AT FACILITY EXPANSION AND THOSE THINGS FOR DUAL OFFICE FOR PRECINCT 1 AND TWO, AND OFFICE FOR PRECINCT FOUR. IT MADE PERFECT SENSE FOR ME TO SIT DOWN AND TALK TO THEM ABOUT LOOK, WE ARE HELPING WITH THIS FACILITY. IS THERE SPACE FOR A COMPUTER HOOKUP OR A DESK OR FOR US TO HAVE EVEN IF AN OFFICER FROM THE COUNTY COULD NOT BE THERE FULL-TIME, IF WE COULD HAVE SCHEDULED HOURS AND PARTICIPATE AT YOUR LOCATION.

THEY WERE NOT ONLY AMENABLE, BUT VERY SUPPORTIVE OF IT AND VERY, VERY EXCITED AT THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING SOMEONE THERE, BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THEY WILL HAVE THE POPULATION TO HELP SUPPORT THAT DECISION. I AM EXCITED THAT THIS IS THE FIRST. I KNOW JUDE HAS HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN THE COUNTY. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL BE AN EXAMPLE FOR THEM TO USE AND THIS IS JUST THE FIRST ONE OF THOSE MO USE. I'M NOT SAYING IT'S GOING TO WORK SWIMMINGLY, BUT WE WILL HOPEFULLY FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY TO DO IT.

>> IS I BELIEVE THEORETICALLY WE COULD HAVE A FULL-TIME EMPLOYEE DOING A ROTATION. TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS THEY ARE GOING TO BE HERE KIND OF THING. I THINK IT IS A WONDERFUL IDEA AND THANK YOU, JUDY, FOR ALWAYS SUPPORTING OUR VETERANS AS

COMPLETELY AS YOU HAVE. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK.
