SHANNON EVENING, MAYOR COUNCIL.

I READ THAT, YOU KNOW, AND YOU GUYS HAVE DONE A LOT OF STUFF.

THANKS.

SO ALSO YOU PROBABLY HAVE THE, UH, OTHER THAN POLICE AND THE FIRE, YOU HAVE THE NEXT BIG STAFF, 30 SOME PEOPLE.

YES, SIR.

EVENING MAYOR COUNSEL SHANNON HICKS, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING SERVICES.

UH, TONIGHT I'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU A VERY QUICK UPDATE ON, UH, WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON IN THE PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING SERVICES DEPARTMENT SINCE OUR LAST UPDATE IN JULY, UH, WHEN FULLY STAFFED PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT HAS 37 FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE FOUR VACANCIES, UH, BUT WITH THE HARD WORK AND DEDICATION OF OUR AMAZING HR DEPARTMENT, UH, WE HAVE TWO, UH, STREET MAINTENANCE WORKERS THAT ARE SCHEDULED TO START.

AND WE HAVE INTERVIEWS FOR OUR UTILITY, UH, MANAGER, UH, WATER QUALITY MANAGER COMING UP TOO.

SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE NEARLY FULLY STAFFED REALLY SOON.

SO, OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE.

UM, SINCE JULY, WE'VE COMPLETED NEARLY 1.7 MILLION WORTH OF REPAIR WORK TO ADDISON ROAD, AND THAT INCLUDED ALMOST $500,000.

PARTICIPATION FROM DALLAS COUNTY COMPLETED, UH, PAVING REPAIRS ON BELTLINE AND COMPLETED THE REPLACEMENT TOWN WIDE OF THE, UH, MULTIFUNCTION MANAGEMENT UNITS.

OUR TRAFFIC SIGNALS, THOSE ARE THE DEVICES THAT LOOK FOR CONFLICTS IN OUR SIGNALS AND MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE DON'T GET HURT.

WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF UPGRADING VIDEO DETECTION, UM, AT MARSH ROAD AND THE ADDISON, THE, THE, THE TOWN CENTER THAT TARGET THAT INTERSECTION.

AND WE'RE PLANNING ON PAINTING THE WHEELER BRIDGE THIS SPRING.

WE'RE WAITING FOR DARK TO GET TO A GOOD POINT WHERE THEY'RE NOT KICKING UP A LOT OF DUST AND DIRT AND THEY'VE GOT THEIR BRIDGE PAINTED.

WE'LL PAINT OURS AND THEN WE'LL BE ON THE SAME CYCLE TO KEEP 'EM PAINTED.

UH, THE UTILITY DIVISION, UH, FIRE HYDRANT INSPECTIONS.

UM, WE HAVE, UH, COMPLETED NEARLY 1100 FIRE HYDRANT INSPECTIONS LAST YEAR.

IT'S ALL OF OUR FIRE HYDRANTS.

UH, AND WE'RE BEGINNING THE NEXT ROUND OF INSPECTIONS IN THE SPRING.

WE'VE PAINTED ONE THIRD OF THE TOWN'S FIRE HYDRANTS, THE ADDISON BLUE AND INSTALLED THE BLUE REFLECT REFLECTIVE COLLARS.

UH, WE'RE ABOUT TO, WE'RE IN THE PROCESS RIGHT NOW OF, UH, THE NEXT THIRD OF THE TOWN.

SO NEXT YEAR WE SHOULD HAVE THEM ALL PAINTED BLUE, AND THEN WE'LL START GOING BACK THROUGH AND REDOING THEM ON A THREE YEAR CYCLE.

UH, WE'RE WORKING ON OUR VALVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM.

UM, OUR GOAL IS TO, UM, GO OUT AND TOUCH AND OPERATE EVERY SINGLE VALVE IN THE CITY AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR.

THIS WAS A PARTIAL YEAR LAST YEAR, AND WE'VE COMPLETED, UH, 2030 200 OF THEM.

SO OUR CREWS ARE DOING A GOOD JOB.

UH, SOME OTHER THINGS ARE GOING ON.

WE'RE BEGINNING THE EPA MANDATED, UH, LEAD AND COPPER RULE REVISIONS.

UH, THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE TO GO OUT AND INVENTORY ALL OF OUR SERVICE LEADS TO LOOK FOR POTENTIAL CONTAMINANTS OF LEAD AND COPPER.

THIS IS KIND OF A, A, A THROWBACK FROM THE FLINT, MICHIGAN ISSUE THAT WAS GOING ON.

WE'RE DOING SOME REALLY INNOVATIVE THINGS.

WE'RE PARTNERING WITH A COMPANY CALLED BLUE CONDUIT.

THEY USE MACHINE LEARNING AND AI TO ANALYZE OUR SYSTEM TO MINIMIZE HOW MUCH ACTUAL PHYSICAL HANDS-ON INSPECTIONS WE HAVE TO DO.

SO WE'RE, WE'RE BEGINNING THAT PROCESS.

NOW.

WE'RE GONNA LINE SOME, UH, SANITARY SEWER MAN HOLES.

WE'VE PURCHASED TWO NEW WATER QUALITY ANALYZERS AND HAVE THOSE INSTALLED.

WE'RE ABOUT TO DO THE NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING ON THE REDDING TRAIL WATERLINE, AS WELL AS, UH, BEGIN THE WATER AND WASTEWATER C I P VALIDATION.

UH, IN THE STORM WATER DIVISION, UH, WE'VE COMPLETED YEAR THREE OF OUR MANDATED, UH, MS FOUR PERMIT WITH T C Q, UH, HELPED HOST THE EARTH DAY AND SUSTAINABILITY DAY EVENTS WITH THE, UH, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TEAM.

[00:05:01]

WE WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE OUT THERE MAINTAINING ROUTINELY ALL OF THOSE DITCHES THAT WE HAVE.

WE'RE ALSO GONNA BE LOOKING AT SOME OF THE OTHER LARGER BOX CULVERTS AND LARGER DIAMETER, UH, STORM SEWERS TO MAKE SURE WE'RE KEEPING THOSE CLEAN AS WELL.

UH, WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF INSPECTING AND CLEANING, UH, THE PARALLEL CHANNEL ON MIDWAY ROAD.

THIS IS ON THE NORTHERN END.

THERE'S A BIG, UH, DITCH OUT THERE IN FRONT OF A TRANSMISSION SHOP.

UH, WE PROBABLY GONNA NEED TO DO SOME STRUCTURAL WORK THERE.

SO WE HAVE AN ENGINEERING TEAM LOOKING AT THAT.

WE'RE UPDATING OUR, OUR BEST MANAGEMENT, OUR POST-CONSTRUCTION BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ORDINANCE.

UH, WE'RE REQUIRED BY, UH, EPA RULE TO HAVE CERTAIN, UH, RULES IN PLACE FOR AFTER CONSTRUCTION FOR CERTAIN STORM WATER FACILITIES TO BE MAINTAINED.

SO WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THAT TO MAKE SURE IT'S A GOOD BALANCE OF WHAT WE'RE REQUIRED TO DO BY LAW AND NOT BE TOO ONEROUS ON OUR BUSINESSES.

SO WE'RE TAKING OUR TIME TO CRAFT THAT.

UH, WE'RE DOING SOME PAVING REPAIRS ON CELESTIAL PLATE BECAUSE OF THE STORM SEWERS LEAKING.

AND WE'RE ALSO UPGRADING OUR, UH, BLOWER AND OUR GAP BACK TRUCKS.

THAT'S A BIG VECTOR TRUCK, UH, TO ALLOW US TO DO, UM, STORM WATER CLEAN, UH, INLET CLEANING AND THINGS LIKE THAT WITHOUT HAVING OUR GUYS DOWN IN THE, IN THE MANHOLES.

SO ON OUR MAJOR PROJECTS, THE, UH, RAW HEIGHT CREEK CREEK ADA EIGHT IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT, UH, BEGAN IN MID-NOVEMBER.

UM, ANTICIPATE COMPLETION FALL OF THIS YEAR.

THEY'RE JUST FINISHED EXCAVATING THE DETENTION FACILITY OUT THERE OFF OF MARSH.

THAT'S A REALLY, UH, INNOVATIVE, UH, STRUCTURE THAT WE'RE GONNA BE PUTTING OUT THERE.

IT'S GONNA BE ALL UNDER GROUND.

IT'LL LOOK JUST LIKE A PARK WHEN WE'RE DONE.

SO IT'LL BE ALL UNDERNEATH THERE.

AND THE PROJECT BUDGET IS 3.3 MILLION, WE THINK WILL COME IN UNDER THAT ALPHA ROAD CONNECTOR PROJECT.

THAT PROJECT'S ALMOST DONE.

UH, WHAT'S REMAINING TO BE COMPLETED THERE IS THE BRIDGE DECK AND THE ROAD.

CONNECTING THAT BRIDGE TO THE COLLEGE.

UH, THAT WAS A LITTLE DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF THE CONSTRUCTION THIS ONGOING AT THE COLLEGE.

THE CONTRACTOR COULDN'T ACCESS THE ROAD CONSTRUCTION FROM THAT SIDE, SO WE HAD TO BUILD THE BRIDGE, THEN GO BUILD THE ROAD.

SO IT'S TAKEN A LITTLE BIT LONGER, BUT WE SHOULD FINISH THAT IN MARCH OR APRIL OF THIS YEAR.

SO IT'S DOING REALLY WELL.

UM, WE SHOULD COME IN UNDER BUDGET ON THIS PROJECT.

UH, TRAFFIC SIGNAL ADA IMPROVEMENTS.

THAT'S THE UPGRADES TO THREE OF OUR INTERSECTIONS.

UH, THAT'S, UH, BELTLINE AND ADDISON ROAD.

BELTLINE AND BELTWAY AND SOJOURNED AND, UH, ADDISON ROAD.

UH, THAT PROJECT IS UNDER CONTRACT.

UH, THEY'RE LONG LEAD TIMES ON SOMEBODY.

THESE MATERIALS RIGHT NOW, WE'RE LOOKING AT MAY BEFORE THE TR THE POLLS WILL BE IN.

AND AS SOON AS THAT HAPPENS, IT'LL GO PRETTY QUICKLY.

OUR BUDGET ON THIS ONE IS 1.5 MILLION, AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE ESTIMATING TO COME IN IN ABOUT 1.4 MILLION.

UH, VIT, TRIVIAN PARK INFRASTRUCTURE PHASE NINE, BLOCK 7 0 1.

THAT'S FOR THE TOWN HOMES.

WE JUST FINISHED, UH, THAT PROJECT THAT WAS, UH, DOING THE WATER AND SANITARY SEWER IN THERE FOR THOSE.

AND THAT PROJECT TURNED OUT REALLY WELL.

WE'RE ABOUT TO WORK ON THE STREET SCAPE AND LANDSCAPING ROOM DESIGN FOR THAT.

UH, THAT TOTAL PROJECT COST WAS 765,000 AND IT'S BEING FUNDED OUT OF THE VITRUVIAN PHASE NINE, UH, INFRASTRUCTURE BUDGET OF 2.9 MILLION.

2.6, SORRY.

UH, MIDWAY ROAD, UH, RECONSTRUCTION.

A CONTRACTOR IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON THE PAVING, UH, SOUTHBOUND FROM BELTLINE TO PROTON.

YOU CAN SEE ALL THE PAVINGS BEEN REMOVED.

UH, MOST OF THE MAJOR EXCAVATION HAS BEEN DONE.

THE, UH, FINE GRADE AND LIME CREW WAS SUPPOSED TO BE COMING IN AT THE END OF THIS WEEK.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN, UH, THIS PHASE.

WE'VE HAD SOME CHALLENGES WITH FRANCHISE UTILITIES.

I KNOW I PROBABLY SOUND LIKE A BROKEN RECORD EVERY TIME I COME IN THERE, HERE.

UH, BUT WE JUST, THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE THEIR STUFF IS.

THEY DON'T KNOW IT'S THERE.

WE FIND IT WHEN WE RIP IT UP.

SO WE'VE HAD SOME DELAYS WITH THAT.

UH, RIGHT NOW WE'RE WAITING ON AT AND T IN A VAULT TO GET THAT DONE.

THEY SHOULD BE DONE EARLY NEXT WEEK AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S GONNA BE GETTING THROUGH THERE.

SO WELL, WE'LL, WE'LL SEE.

NOW THE CONTRACTOR, WE'RE HOPING, WE WERE HOPING TO START MAJOR PAVING OPERATIONS NORTH OF BELTLINE THIS MONTH.

UM, FOR ALL OF THAT, I DON'T THINK IT'S GONNA HAPPEN BECAUSE WE HAVE A CONFLICT WITH A TELECOMMUNICATIONS DUCK BANK THAT NOBODY KNEW WAS THERE.

WE SAW THE POOL BOXES AND WE FINALLY GOT AT AND T TO REALIZE IT WAS THEIRS THAT CAME OUT AND LOCATED IT.

THEY DON'T KNOW HOW DEEP IT IS.

THE PROBLEM WE HAVE, WE HAVE TO SHOOT A BOAR FOR A WATER LINE UNDERNEATH IT.

AND WE DON'T KNOW HOW DEEP IT'S, WE CAN'T CONNECT ANY OF THE SERVICE LINES NORTH OF THERE UNTIL WE MAKE THAT LAST CONNECTION.

SO WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THE CONTRACTOR.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GO OUT THERE, HYDRO EXCAVATE, DIG DOWN, FIND IT, AND THEN DO IT.

SO LET'S PUSH THIS BACK ABOUT A MONTH, WE THINK.

SO HOPEFULLY NEXT MONTH WE'LL START THOSE MAJOR PAVING OPERATIONS.

THAT ALL BEING SAID, WE SHOULD STILL FINISH THIS PROJECT UP.

[00:10:01]

AND THAT WAS ROUGHLY WHERE OUR ORIGINAL TARGET WAS.

UM, ANY, WELL, IT'S INTERESTING, UH, WE WE'RE ESTIMATING 41.1 MILLION AND WE'VE BEEN PRETTY SOLID WITH THAT.

ALL OF THE, UM, LAND ACQUISITION HAS, THE AGREEMENTS HAVE BEEN SIGNED.

SO THOSE WERE THE BIG ONES OUT THERE.

UM, WE'RE STILL WORKING THE VERY LAST COUPLE DETAILS ON INNATE PROPERTY.

IT'S JUST SOME OF THE, THE MECHANICS OF HOW TO DO SOME OF THE TRANSFERS AND SO THERE'LL BE SOME ITEMS COMING TO COUNCIL.

SO WE THINK THOSE COSTS ARE, ARE PRETTY GOOD.

SO IS THE CUT AND COVER, EXCUSE ME FOR INTERRUPTING, IS THE CUT AND COVER COMPLETE ALL THE, ALWAYS.

IT IS.

UH, WE STILL HAVE SOME SERVICE LATERALS WE NEED TO PUT IN FOR THE WATER LINES.

UM, WE CAN'T HOOK 'EM UP.

I THINK THEY'RE ALL THERE.

WE JUST CAN'T SWITCH 'EM OVER.

SO WE'VE GOTTA WAIT FOR THAT LAST SECTION OF WATERLINE UNDER THE MIDWAY BRIDGE, I MEAN ARAPAHOE BRIDGE TO BE ABLE TO, UH, TO BE ABLE TO COMPLETE IT AND START TEARING PAVEMENT UP.

CAUSE WE CAN'T GO OUT THERE AND DO ANY UTILITY WORK OF TRAFFICS ON TOP OF IT.

SO THANK YOU.

BUT OVERALL, THE PROJECT'S MOVING FORWARD, IT'S GOT ITS CHALLENGES, BUT, UH, CONTRACTORS DOING A GOOD JOB AND THEY'RE WORKING WITH OUR TEAM.

WELL, UH, CAL LIST STATION BYPASS PROJECT, UM, THIS PROJECT WAS COMPLETED IN AUGUST.

UM, OUR BUDGET WAS 1.1 MILLION.

OUR TOTAL FINAL COST WAS 854,000.

A SURVEY CORINE BOOSTER STATION.

THAT PROJECT'S COMPLETED.

OUR BUDGET WAS 1.3, CAME IN RIGHT AT 1.3 MILLION AND THE WINDWOOD BRIDGE ARMORING PROJECT IS COMPLETED.

OUR BUDGET WAS FOUR 50,000 AND THE TOTAL COST CAME IN AT 400 UPCOMING PROJECTS, UH, THE LAKE FOREST DRIVE WATER AND SEWER IMPROVEMENTS.

WE'VE GOT THE FINAL SET OF PLANS AND SPECS RIGHT NOW.

WE ANTICIPATE THAT GOING OUT FOR CONSTRUCTION NEXT MONTH.

UM, AND TAKE ABOUT 10 MONTHS FOR CONSTRUCTION ONCE WE'RE OUT THERE.

UH, A PRO PROJECT BUDGET FOR THE WATER AND SEWER LINES, 1.2 MILLION.

AND ONCE WE GET THE PROJECT BID AND UNDER CONTRACT, WE'LL START DOING THE PUBLIC COMMUNICATION WITH ALL THOSE RESIDENTS.

LET 'EM KNOW WHERE WE ARE.

SO, UH, SURVEY PUMP STATION, ELECTRICAL UPGRADES, UM, THAT IS OUT FOR BID RIGHT NOW.

UH, WE ANTICIPATE SIX MONTHS FOR CONSTRUCTION, BUT THIS IS ONE OF THOSE WHERE THERE MIGHT BE SOME REALLY, REALLY LONG LEAD TIMES FOR THE COMPONENTS.

SO WE JUST DON'T KNOW EXACTLY THE TIMING OF IT.

UH, BUT WE'LL WORK WITH A CONTRACTOR ON THAT.

OUR BUDGET'S 1.2 MILLION FOR THAT PROJECT.

UH, KELLER SPRINGS ROAD RECONSTRUCTION.

UM, WE RECEIVED TWO PROPOSALS FOR THAT THAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING BE REJECTED TONIGHT.

WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH THE ENGINEER TO MAKE SOME MODIFICATIONS TO THE PLANS TO, UH, MAKE SOME IMPROVEMENTS AND WE'LL REISSUE THE RFP.

UH, ONCE THOSE ALTERATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE, WE EXPECT THAT TO HAPPEN IN THE NEXT, UH, 60 TO 90 DAYS.

BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT OUT AIRPORT PARKWAY RECONSTRUCTION.

THAT ONE'S STILL SITTING AT 95% DESIGN, UH, WORKING ON A RIGHT OF WAY EASEMENT OR ACQUISITION.

AND THEY'LL FALL FOLLOWED DIRECTLY BEHIND KELLER SPRINGS QUORUM DRIVE.

WE JUST WE'RE IN THE, UH, WE ISSUED A, UH, REQUEST FOR, UM, QUALIFICATIONS.

WE HAVE SELECTED THE MOST QUALIFIED ENGINEERING FIRM AND ARE NOW NEGOTIATING THE SCOPE OF WORK.

AND AFTER THAT WILL BE THE, UH, THE PRICE FOR THAT.

AND THERE'LL BE A CONTRACT COMING BEFORE COUNCIL FOR THE DESIGN OF THE QUORUM PROJECT.

AND THAT SHOULD KICK OFF PRETTY QUICKLY.

UH, MONTFORD DRIVE RE UH, RECONSTRUCTION WILL HAPPEN AFTER QUORUM.

AND THEN THE BELLA LANE NORTH CONNECTOR.

UM, THIS IS, THIS IS A PROJECT THAT'S AT THE VERY NORTH END OF THE ALPHA CONNECTOR BELLA SOUTH PROJECT IN THE RED BRIDGE OUT ON BELLA LANE.

THERE'S ABOUT AN 800 FOOT GAP OF ROAD THAT HAS NOT BEEN CONSTRUCTED, THE TOWN STANDARDS YET.

LAST YEAR WE HAD IT DESIGNED, HAD IT OUT FOR BID, AND AFTER WE HAD RECEIVED BIDS, WE MET WITH THE DEVELOPER UDR, BUT TRIVIAN AND THEY HAD SOME IDEAS ABOUT CHANGING THE LAND PLAN AND WHERE THE BUILDINGS WERE GONNA SIT, WHERE THE ROADS WERE GONNA BE, THE WATER STORM, EVERYTHING.

SO WE REJECTED ALL THE BIDS AND WERE HOLDING ON THIS PROJECT UNTIL THEY GET SOMETHING IN AT LEAST THROUGH STAFF APPROVAL OF WAY IT'S GONNA LAY OUT.

SO THEY GET THROUGH THE FIRE MARSHAL AND MAKE SURE THE FIRE LANES ARE WHERE THEY NEED TO BE AND EVERYTHING.

AND THEN WE WILL MAKE THE MODIFICATIONS AND REBID THAT PROJECT.

BUT THOSE BIDS WERE REJECTED LAST MAY.

SO I'VE NOTICED, YOU KNOW, UM, FROM OFF ROAD IN FARMER BRANCH GOES EAST, UH, WESTBOUND, THAT SECTION HAS ALMOST COMPLETED.

RIGHT.

SO THE BELLA SOUTH PROJECT IS, IS ALL, ALMOST ALL OF THE ROAD IS COMPLETED AND IT IS, ALL THE GRADING IS DONE, THE LANDSCAPING IS DONE.

IT LOOKS PHENOMENAL.

YEAH.

UH, THE ONLY PIECE'S STILL MISSING IS THE BRIDGE DECK IN THAT SECTION OF ROAD BEYOND THE BRIDGE DECK TO THE COLLEGE.

SO,

[00:15:01]

AND THE GOOD NEWS IS, I THINK WE HAVE A MEETING WITH THE VITRUVIAN U D R TEAM THIS WEEK AND THEY MIGHT BE MOVING FORWARD WITH, WITH GETTING THEIR PLANS IN PLACE.

OKAY.

BUT RIGHT NOW ISN'T THERE, ISN'T IT ASPHALT ROAD OUT THERE? RIGHT? IT IS, BUT IT'S NOT, I MEAN, IT'S NOT OUR, IT'S NOT OUR CITY STANDARD.

THAT'S CORRECT.

I MEAN, ARE THEY COMPLAINING ON OPENING THAT UP BEFORE WE GET I MEAN WELL, THEY WOULD BE US AND SO WE COULD OPEN IT.

AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE TALKING ABOUT INTERNALLY.

WE COULD OPEN UP THE ROAD ALL THE WAY THROUGH.

THE PROBLEM IS, IS WE MAY TURN RIGHT BACK AROUND AND CLOSE IT AGAIN, BUT, BUT IN THE MEANTIME, IF IT'S, IF IT'S A YEAR OUT BEFORE SOMETHING GETS GOING RIGHT TO, TO ALLEVIATE SOME TRAFFIC ON MARSH, I THINK IT'D BE SOMETHING TO LOOK AT.

IF I BARRICADES WEREN'T UP THE OTHER DAY AND I WENT BY THERE AND I DROVE THE WHOLE THING.

OKAY, NOW YOU CAN DRIVE RIGHT THROUGH THERE, .

YEP.

I MEAN, IT'S NOTHING NICE AND STUFF THAT'S DONE, BUT I'M, I NOTICED I COULD DRIVE RIGHT ON TO VITRUVIAN.

YOU KNOW, THEY KEEP, OH, THEY TOOK THE BARRIERS DOWN.

THEY HAD 'EM DOWN THE DAY THAT I WAS OVER THERE, SO MORNING , THEY WEREN'T DOWN WHEN I WENT BY THERE.

SO, BUT I MEAN, IT'S, IT'S ALL CONNECTED.

SO I'M JUST SAYING JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND BECAUSE HE WOULD HELP TRAFFIC ON MARSH.

I MEAN, THAT'S THE REASON WE WANTED THIS TO HAVE THAT CROSS CONNECTION THERE.

SO IF IT'S GONNA BE A LONG TIME BEFORE MM-HMM.

, THEY CAN FIGURE IT OUT.

I MEAN, I THINK WE CAN LIVE WITH DRIVING ON ASPHALT CAUSE THAT BACK ROAD'S BEEN THAT WAY ANYWAY.

A LOT OF IT, THE, THE CHALLENGE IS, IS WHEN WE DO CLOSE IT, WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF TRAFFIC COMING DOWN THERE THAT'S NOT GONNA REALIZE IT'S CLOSED.

THERE'S NOWHERE TO TURN AROUND.

SO, UM, HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE A BETTER IDEA IN THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS WHEN THE ROOM'S COMPLETE.

ANDRE READY TO OPEN IT.

KIND OF HOW LONG IT'LL BE.

BUT I AGREE, IF IT'S GONNA BE A LONG TIME WE GO AHEAD AND OPEN IT.

ISN'T THAT DOESN'T, ISN'T THERE A ROUNDABOUT OVER THERE NOW? THOSE ARE ALL PRIVATE AND THEY'RE NOT CONNECTED RIGHT NOW? NO, I'M TALKING ABOUT ON THE MAIN ROAD ON BELLA.

LIKE, OH, LIKE I'M SAYING, LIKE, I GET IT THAT IF WE JUST BLOCKED IT OFF COMING TO VITRUVIAN, THEY'D DRIVE IN THERE AND HAVE TO CIRCLE BACK AROUND AND COME RIGHT BACK OUT.

SO IF YOU WERE COMING OFF OF A TRIVIAN ON NEELA OH YEAH.

AND THAT WOULD BE THE ONES WE'D BLOCK IT OFF AT THE BRIDGE WHERE WE DOING THE CONSTRUCTION.

RIGHT.

THEY HAVE NOWHERE TO GO OR TURN AROUND.

SO GO AHEAD.

WE CAN WORK THROUGH THAT WHEN WE GET TO THAT POINT.

UM, AS ALWAYS, UH, WE, WE TRY TO KEEP OUR PROJECTS UPDATED ON OUR PROJECT WEBSITE THOUGH.

UH, YOU CAN GO TO ADDISON TX.NET/PROJECTS AND GET AN UPDATE ON ANY ONE OF OUR PROJECTS IN OUR BIGGER ONES.

THERE'S A WAYS FOR YOU TO SIGN UP FOR NOTIFICATIONS ON THOSE PROJECTS.

UM, BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

NO, NO QUESTIONS FOR ME.

UH, IF ANYBODY WILL HAVE QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS, PLEASE.

UM, PLEASE.

ON QUORUM DRIVE, I KNOW IT'S ON LIFE SUPPORT, IS IT GONNA MAKE IT HELP? I MEAN, HOW, HOW BADLY IS, ARE WE KELLER SPRINGS OR QUORUM? QUORUM.

CAUSE IT'S FURTHER OUT.

WELL, SO QUORUM WE START TO MAINTAIN IT AND I IMAGINE WE'LL END UP DOING SOME, SOME, SOME REPAIRS OUT THERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE YEARS WHILE WE'RE WAITING FOR CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN.

SO, WE'LL, WE'LL HAVE TO KEEP GOING WITH IT.

IT MAY NOT BE MAINTAINED TO THE SAME STANDARDS AS, AS BELTLINE.

WE'RE NOT GONNA GO OUT AND REPLACE, YOU KNOW, FOUR OR FIVE PANELS IN A ROW.

BUT WE DO NEED TO MAKE IT PASSABLE FOR EVERYBODY STILL.

WE HAVE BUSES GOING THROUGH THERE AND A LOT OF TRAFFIC.

UH, AND THEN FIRE HYDRANT INSPECTIONS.

ARE YOU FINDING ANY AUTOMOBILE DAMAGE? I DON'T KNOW.

TO THE FIRE HYDRANTS THEMSELVES? I'M NOT, I HAVEN'T HEARD MY GUYS SAY ANYTHING.

I MEAN, THEY'RE FINDING MALFUNCTIONS WITH 'EM AND BEING ABLE TO GO OUT PROACTIVELY FIX THEM AS THEY EXPLAINED IT.

NO, LOOK, LOOK TO ME, MORE PEOPLE HATED OUR BEAUTIFUL LIGHT POLES, AND THEN NOT FIRE HYDRANT.

RIGHT? SO THEY DON'T WANT TO BE SHOWERED.

JUST, THAT'S A GOOD POINT ABOUT THE LIGHT POLES.

UM, YOU KNOW, ONE OF OUR MISSIONS WAS TO MAINTAIN, MAKE SURE WE HAD AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF THOSE.

AND OUR REORDER POINT IS ABOUT FIVE.

WHEN WE GET DOWN TO FIVE, THE PROBLEM WAS WE HAD SIX OF 'EM HIT BACK TO BACK.

SO WE'RE OUT OF 'EM AND WE'RE WAITING FROM MORE TO COME IN AND AS SOON AS THOSE COME IN, WE'RE GONNA ORDER ANOTHER 10.

SO I SEE PART OF THE YOUR, UM, NO SIR, IT'S USUALLY BETWEEN 2:00 AM AND 3:00 AM , LEMME ASK YOU HOW MUCH COSTS US TO REPLACE IT, YOU KNOW, INCLUDING INSTALLATION.

WE SPENT A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR ON THOSE LIGHT POLES.

AND SO THEY'RE ABOUT, THEY'RE ROUGHLY ABOUT $10,000 A PIECE WHEN ONE KNOCKS 'EM DOWN, HOW MUCH WE CAN RECOVER FROM THE, UH, CAR INSURANCE.

IF WE, IF IT'S SOMEONE THAT'S STILL THERE AND THEY HAVE INSURANCE, THEN WE CAN RECOVER, I BELIEVE A HUNDRED PERCENT OF THAT.

UM, BUT I'M NOT SURE THAT RECOVERY RATE, I'M GENERALLY JUST GO OUT AND PUT 'EM IF SOMEBODY CAN COME ICE.

AND I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE SURVEYOR PUMP STATION ELECTRICAL UPGRADES.

MM-HMM.

, UM, I UNDERSTAND THE CONUNDRUM WITH THE

[00:20:01]

DO WE, SO DO YOU, DO YOU STALL OUT THE, THE THE GO THE GO TIME? I MEAN, DO YOU WAIT TO, UM, CAN THEY PRE-ORDER THE PARTS IS WHAT I'M SAYING AND THEN YOU PRESS GO? OR HOW DOES THAT WORK? THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

SO THIS, UH, PANDEMIC HAS MADE US KIND OF RETHINK HOW WE DO A LOT OF THINGS.

SO WHAT WE'RE DOING IS, IS WE'RE DOING A MULTI-PHASE IN THOSE TO PROCEED ON OUR PROJECTS.

A LOT OF TIMES WE'LL DO A LIMITED NOTICE TO PROCEED TO ALLOW THE CONTRACTOR TO START ORDERING MATERIALS AND DOING THEIR, UH, SUBMITTALS SO THEY CAN START INCURRING COSTS.

BUT WE DON'T START THEIR CONTRACT TIME MM-HMM.

, AS LONG AS THEY'RE MAKING GOOD FAITH EFFORTS AND WE CAN SEE THAT THEY'RE ORDERING FROM LEGITIMATE SUPPLIERS AND, YOU KNOW, THOSE SORTS OF THINGS.

WE WORK WITH A CONTRACTOR TO FIND THE CONSTRUCTION NOTICE TO PROCEED DATE MM-HMM.

.

SO THE MATERIALS MAY COME IN AND THEIR CREWS MAY STILL BE BOUND UP.

THEY'RE STILL SOMEWHERE, THEY DON'T HAVE PEOPLE JUST WAITING AROUND, NOT NOT DOING ANYTHING.

SO WE'LL WORK WITH 'EM WHEN THAT CREW'S GONNA COME AVAILABLE, WE'LL SCHEDULE IT, THEN WE'LL SCHEDULE THE TIME FOR THEIR PROJECT TO START.

OKAY.

AND WE'RE ALSO VERY FLEXIBLE WITH THE TIME ON OUR PROJECTS BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY THINGS RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE JUST OUT OF THEIR CONTROL.

IF THEY'RE MAKING THE RIGHT EFFORTS, THE RIGHT PEOPLE, THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT OUT ON THE JOB SITE ALL THE TIME, WE'LL DO EVERYTHING.

WE CAN'T HELP.

AND I, AND I THINK THAT'S GREAT.

MY CONCERN IS JUST THE INCURRING COSTS OF THEM BEING ON THE CLOCK, SO TO SPEAK.

IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE FOUND A WAY TO OVERCOME IT.

WE PAY THEM.

I MEAN, WE PAY THEM FOR THEIR MATERIALS AND, AND THOSE SORTS OF THINGS WHEN THEY ORDER STUFF, IF IT COMES IN, WE'LL PAY THEM MATERIAL ON HAND.

MM-HMM.

, UM, WHEN THEY'RE DOING SUBMITTALS, PART OF THEIR MOBILIZATION FEES IS BASED ON THEM DOING SUBMITTALS AND DOING THINGS.

SO THEY DO GET PAID FOR SOME OF THAT.

OKAY, I SEE.

BUT OBVIOUSLY THEY CAN'T START DOING THE WORK UNTIL THE PARTS ARE IN, SO YEAH.

AND WE ONLY PAY THEM FOR WHAT THEY DO AND WE STILL HAVE RETAINAGE ON EVERYTHING TOO.

OKAY.

THAT'S GOOD.

THANK YOU.

YEAH.

ANY MORE QUESTION? SO I HAVE TO SAY THIS.

THANK YOU, SHANNON.

YOU HAVE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB.

SO I NEVER SEEN, UH, THE TOWN HAS BEEN SO BUSY WITH ALL ROADS AND ALL THOSE CONSTRUCTION, SO IT IS QUITE A BIT OF WORK.

YEAH.

BEST OF THEM UNDER BUDGET.

THANK YOU HAVE, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

SHANNON.

TELL HER TELL THE CONTRACTOR THANKS FOR PUTTING THAT POTHOLE, PROTON.

PROTON, RIGHT? YEAH.

IRELAND WAS GONNA CALL YOU ABOUT IT AND THEY DID IT THEMSELVES, OR SOMEBODY TOLD 'EM TO DO IT.

YES, SIR.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

[2. Present and Discuss Designating Vote Centers in the Town of Addison.]

DISCUSS DESIGNATING VOTE CENTERS IN THE TOP EDISON IRMA.

YES.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

IRMA PARKER, CITY SECRETARY.

AND AT THE LAST MEETING ON, UH, JANUARY 10TH, UH, WE CALLED FOR THE ELECTION, UH, FROM MAY 6TH.

AND WE ADDED ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE'RE GONNA TAKE PLACE DURING THAT ELECTION.

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID NOT ADD WAS THE VOTE CENTER SITUATION.

AND THE VOTE CENTERS ALLOW CITIZENS TO VOTE ANYWHERE WITHIN THE COUNTY.

THAT JUST MAKES IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO VOTE.

IT'S GOING TO WORK AS THEY'RE GOING TO WORK OR GOING TO THE GROCERY STORE.

AND, UH, THAT'S IMPROVED OUR VOTE COUNT FOR, FOR THE ELECTIONS.

PEOPLE ARE, ARE GOING TO DIFFERENT PLACES AND THERE'S MORE VOTERS.

UM, BEGINNING IN NOVEMBER OF 2019, WE STARTED DOING, UH, FIRE STATION ONE AS EARLY VOTING, ELECTION DAY VOTING, UH, PLACE FIRE STATION TWO WAS EARLY VOTING ONLY.

THOSE TWO HAS HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN ALL OUR VOTING LOCATIONS IN THE TOWN.

THAT'S WHERE EVERYBODY'S GONE.

THAT'S WHAT WE'VE ALWAYS DONE.

UM, DURING COVID, WE DID U USE THE, UH, CONFERENCE CENTER BECAUSE WE NEEDED SOMEPLACE THAT IT WAS, IT WAS ROOMY.

UH, SO WE USED IT FOR EARLY VOTING AND ELECTION DAY.

AND THEN LOWE'S FIELD HAS BEEN USED AT THE LAST YEAR FOR, UH, ELECTION DAY.

UM, THERE'S A DIFFERENCE IN THE EARLY VOTING AND ELECTION DAY.

ELECTION DAY IS ONLY A ONE DAY THING.

AND, AND YOU BRING THE EQUIPMENT IN A DAY OR TWO BEFORE AND A DAY OR TWO AFTER.

SO THE BUILDING IS USED FOR ABOUT A WEEK, UH, DURING EARLY VOTING.

THEN YOU, UH, ON THIS YEAR WE'LL BE VOTING STARTING APRIL 24TH THROUGH MAY 2ND, AND THEN IT'LL BE A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE WHEN THEY BRING THE EQUIPMENT AND THEN SET IT UP, UH, AND THEN AFTERWARDS BREAK IT DOWN.

AND THEN, UH, YOU, WE CAN UTILIZE THE BUILDING WE'VE BEEN USING.

THE FIRE STATION IS IN.

IT'S, IT'S BEEN CUMBERSOME.

IT'S, UH, UH, DAVID, WE PROBABLY COULD EXPLAIN TO YOU SOME OF THE ISSUES THEY'VE HAD WITH THAT.

BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN USING.

THE CRITERIA FOR OUR VOTE CENTER IS TO HAVE A LARGE ROOM WITH NE NECESSARY SQUARE FOOTAGE TO ACCOMMODATE THE VOTING MACHINES

[00:25:01]

YOU HAVE TO HAVE INTERNET, INTERNET CAPABILITIES AND GOOD RECEPTION.

AND IT HAS TO BE ADA ACCESSIBLE.

GOOD PARKING WITH LIGHTING, BECAUSE SOME EVENTS AT NIGHT, UH, ON A CITY TRANSPORTATION ROUTE OR THROUGH A BY A THOROUGHFARE WHERE IT'S EASY ACCESS TO COME IN TO VOTE.

A BUILDING THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS, LIKE THE CONFERENCE CENTER OR AS WE'VE BEEN USING THE FIRE STATION.

UM, THEN THE SITE HAS TO BE AVAILABLE A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE AND A COUPLE DAYS AFTER, UM, ALLOW, UH, POLITICAL SIGNS AND ELECTIONEERING AND THERE BE, SHOULD BE NO, UH, SECURITY CONCERNS.

AND THEN THE VOTE CENTERS WILL LOOK AT THESE FACILITIES AND THEN COME BACK AND, AND, UH, CHECK TO SEE WHETHER IT IS A GOOD LOCATION.

HAS THERE BEEN GOOD RESPONSE TO USING THAT LOCATION? THIS MAP HERE SHOWS THE TOWN OF ADDISON AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE FIRE STATION ONE IS AND THEN FIRE STATION TWO, UH, YOU CAN SEE LOWE'S FIELDHOUSE AND FRANK ELEMENTARY IS ANOTHER ONE THAT WE'VE USED OR THAT PEOPLE USE QUITE A BIT.

KELLER SPRINGS BAPTIST CHURCH.

UH, THE SPOTS THAT YOU SEE, THOSE RED DOTS, THOSE ARE BEING CONSIDERED RIGHT NOW BY THE, UH, VOTE CENTER, UH, COMMITTEE, UH, TO CLOSE 'EM DOWN BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE WHERE THOSE OTHER VOTE CENTERS ARE CLOSE TO IT.

SO THAT'S, IT'S, UH, UM, THERE'S NO SENSE OF HAVING THAT EXTRA EXPENSE WHEN YOU CAN GET TO IT WITHIN, WITHIN FIVE MILES OR LESS.

UM, IF WE WERE LIKE FROM FIRE STATION ONE TO LOWES FIELD HOUSE, THAT'S 1.4 MILES .

SO OF COURSE WE DON'T HAVE ANY CONTROL WHETHER THE, UM, UH, THE, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ALLOWS THAT.

BUT THAT IS ONE OF THE DESIGNATED SPOTS, UH, THAT WE'VE BEEN USING AT THE LAST ELECTION.

YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE MOST OF THE PEOPLE VOTED.

FIRE STATION ONE, WHICH, UH, EARLY VOTING.

UM, AND THEN FIRE STATION TWO, UH, LOWE'S FIELD HOUSE WERE THE THREE PLACES THAT WERE IN ADDISON.

UH, AND THEN YOU CAN SEE HOW IT SPREAD OUT.

WE EVEN HAVE PEOPLE IN MESQUITE AND RICHARDSON, UH, PEOPLE THAT WERE DRIVING THAT WAY THAT WENT TO VOTE, UM, BROOKHAVEN CAMPUS THAT HAD QUITE A FEW DURING EARLY VOTING.

BUT I HAVE TO SAY THIS, UH, THAT'S, THEY, YOU CAN VOTE EITHER ON EARLY VOTING DAYS OR ELECTION DAY AND ANY POLLING PLACES.

WORLD CENTERS IN, UH, DO COUNTY MM-HMM.

DO COUNTY.

YEAH.

MM-HMM.

.

SO WHAT WE DID WAS A FACILITY REVIEW AND WENT THROUGH ALL OF THE FACILITIES THAT WE HAD IN THE CITY.

UH, AND, AND WITH THE HELP OF DEPARTMENT DIRECTORS AND ROB, WHO'S IN CHARGE OF BUILDINGS, UH, WENT THROUGH TO FIND THE PROS AND CONS OF THE DIFFERENT BUILDINGS.

AND YOU CAN SEE THEM THERE.

UM, AIRPORT, UM, IT'S REALLY HARD TO GET IN THERE.

SO, AND YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE MUCH SPACE.

THE ATHLETIC CLUB IS, IS, UH, UH, HAS AMPLE PARKING AND HAS LARGE ROOMS, BUT, UM, HAVING SOMETHING FOR EARLY VOTING, THAT WOULD BE A VERY LONG PERIOD OF TIME FOR, UH, A FA SOME, UH, VOTING TO BE GOING ON THERE WITH, WHEN THEY HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT EVENTS, THEY CONSTANTLY HAVE STUFF.

SO THAT WOULD BE A LITTLE DIFFICULT.

UH, CONFERENCE CENTER AND STONE COTTAGE, UM, IT'S NOT STAFF RIGHT NOW, BUT IT WILL BE.

UH, AND IT'S HAS EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED.

FINANCE BUILDING CAN'T DO ANYTHING THERE.

FIRE STATION ONE, UM, ADMINISTRATION AREA IS THE ONLY PLACE THAT'S ADA COMPLIANT AND THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN USING AND IT'S BEEN CAUSING ISSUES.

UH, FIRE STATION TWO IS NOT ADA COMPLIANT.

THE PARKING LOT'S, VERY SMALL POLICE, UH, AND MUNICIPAL COURTS BUILDING.

YOU HAVE THE LOBBY AREA, BUT THEN, UH, IF ANYBODY NEEDED TO GO TO THE BATHROOM, THE WORKERS, THERE'S NO PLACE FOR THEM TO GO BECAUSE ALL OF THAT'S UPSTAIRS.

UM, AND THEN THE STOREFRONT, UH, AT ADDISON CIRCLE IS NOT A GOOD LOCATION.

SERVICE CENTER DOESN'T HAVE MUCH OF ANYTHING TO OFFER AND THERE'S VERY LIMITED PARKING.

UH, TOWN HALL, UM, YOU COULD COME IN THE BACK DOOR TO THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS AND YOU HAVE ALL, IT'S NOT REALLY AD REALLY, IT'S ADA A BUT IT'S, YEAH, IT'D STILL BE KIND OF ROUGH.

AND THEN THE PARKING IS LIMITED THERE.

AND THEN WE HAVE OTHER FACILITIES THAT COUNCIL COULD CONSIDER.

OF COURSE, THIS IS Y'ALL'S DECISION.

Y'ALL CAN DESIGNATE ONE LOCATION TO BE EARLY VOTING AND ELECTION DAY VOTING.

UH, YOU CAN DESIGNATE ONE PLACE TO BE JUST, UH, EARLY VOTING, UH, ELECTION DAY OR

[00:30:01]

UH, YOU CAN SAY WE CAN ELIMINATE FIRE STATION ONE AND TWO.

WE DON'T WANNA USE THEM.

UH, I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE VOTE CENTER DOES NOT WANT, UH, TO USE ANY MORE FIRE STATIONS.

IT'S JUST NOT A GOOD SITUATION.

AND THEY'RE TRYING TO ELIMINATE ALL THE ONES.

AND I THINK WE'RE THE ONLY ONES THAT STILL HAVE FIRE STATIONS THAT WE'RE USING.

SO, UM, STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TO THAT WE USE THE CONFERENCE CENTER AND UM, AND USE IT FOR ELECTION DAY VOTING AND, UH, EARLY VOTING AND ELIMINATE ALL THE OTHER FACILITIES I'VE GONE THROUGH AND, AND SHOWN WHERE THE DIFFERENT, UM, BOAT CENTERS ARE AND THE MILEAGE TO AND FROM THERE, IT'S, IT'S UNDER FIVE MILES.

CAUSE WE'RE ONLY 4.4 SQUARE MILES.

SO, UM, IT'S, IT'S VERY CLOSE.

UM, THAT JERRY JUNKINS ELEMENTARY THAT'S IN CARROLLTON.

IT'S ONLY 2.6 MILES FROM THE CONFERENCE CENTER.

UH, KELLER SPRINGS BAPTIST CHURCH IS 1.3 MILES FROM THE CONFERENCE CENTER.

SO THERE'S OTHER FACILITIES THAT ARE VERY CLOSE THAT ARE NOT UNDER OUR CONTROL.

UH, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT DALLAS, UH, COUNTY ELECTIONS DEPARTMENT WOULD CONTRACT WITH.

AND THEY WOULD CONTRACT WITH THE SCHOOL OR INDIVIDUALLY WITH THOSE CHURCHES.

SO WE HAVE A, A, A PLENTY OF, UH, LOCATIONS THAT PEOPLE COULD VOTE AT WITHIN, UNDER FIVE MILES.

YEAH.

THAT'S YOUR DECISION.

EASY PEASY FOR ME.

I I I'M WITH YOU ON THE ADDISON CONFERENCE CENTER.

YEP.

IT'S, IT'S CENTRAL.

IT'S EASY.

IT'S A WINNER.

PLENTY OF PARKING.

YEAH.

YEAH.

WE, WE DON'T WANT TO END UP SAYING LOWE'S FOR ELECTION DAY AND RUNNING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THAT WAS, YEAH, NO, A FIASCO.

YEAH.

THAT WAS A MESS WITH GRADUATIONS GOING ON AND WITH ALL THE OTHER ONES THAT WITHIN A MILE OR TWO OUTSIDE OF THERE, I THINK ONE CENTRAL NICE COMPLETELY SPOT IS THE WAY TO GO FOR EARLY VOTING AND DAY OF.

AND THERE'S, THERE'S YOUR MAP, SO YOU CAN SEE HOW CLOSE EVERYTHING IS.

IT'S REALLY NOT THAT, UH, FOREIGN, THAT FRETZ PARK LIBRARY, WE GET A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT VOTE THERE.

YEAH.

82.

SO LOWE'S WILL BE OPEN ON ELECTION DAY ANYWAY, RIGHT? OR POSSIBLY WE DON'T, I DON'T KNOW.

THAT'S STILL BEING DECIDED BY THE VOTE CENTER COMMITTEE, BUT THEY, UH, DALLAS COUNTY MAKES THE CONTRACT WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

SO THAT'S, WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THAT AT ALL.

SO THAT WOULD BE CA OR WILL WILL BE MORE THAN LIKELY ONE OF THOSE TWO AREN'T 4.4 SQUARE MILE.

YEAH.

AGREE.

AND FRANK ELEMENTARY, IT'S, IT'S, UH, VERY CLOSE FROM FIRE STATION TWO AND FRANK IS 2.4 MILES AND FROM FIRE STATION ONE, IT'S 2.1 MILE.

SO IT'S, UM, IT'S VERY CLOSE.

I AGREE.

I THINK, YOU KNOW, JUST ONE GOOD VOTING CENTER AS SOME CONFERENCE, CONFERENCE CENTER, LARGE ENOUGH SPACE AND ALSO PLENTY OF PARKING.

RIGHT.

CENTRAL CENTRALIZED LOCATION.

SO JUST ONE.

I AGREE, AGREE.

GOING INTERFERE OUR, UH, FIRE DEPARTMENT.

SO IT WOULD BE GOOD IF YOU RIGHT RESPONDERS DO WHAT THEY CHIEF THAT, THAT'S WHY THEY'RE HERE.

THEY WANTED TO BEG .

ALRIGHT.

STRONG AND ONE CENTRAL LOCATION HEADS AND CONFERENCE CENTER FOR BOTH EARLY VOTING AND ELECTION DAY.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

APPRECIATE IT.

ALL RIGHT.
