THEY, THEY SAID THEY THE THE PLAN IS TO HAVE A 4000 SQUARE FOOT LOT, AND THAT WOULD ALLOW THEM TO HAVE AT LEAST 1000FT■!S OF, OF HOUSE, WHICH. D THEN WE ANALYZED WHETHER THAT IS IN KEEPING WITH THE HOME SIDE, THE HOME SIZES OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. AND AND THEY DO RANGE FROM 12,000 TO TO 1500 SQUARE FEET, SO WOULD NOT BE OUT OF CHARACTER FOR THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THIS IS THE PROPERTY THEY THEY PLAN TO RENOVATE THE THE CURRENT HOME THAT'S ON THE LOT. AND THE NOTICES THAT WERE SENT, NONE WERE RETURNED IN FAVOR OR IN OPPOSITION.

THE OTHER PROPERTIES AROUND THIS ONE ARE DEVELOPED WITH SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. THIS PROPERTY CURRENTLY HAS A SINGLE FAMILY HOME ON IT AND IT WOULD. THE APPLICANT PLANS TO DEMOLISH THIS HOUSE AND SO THEY CAN ADD ADDITIONAL PARKING FOR THE THE THE PROPERTY TO THE NORTH. THEY PLAN TO MOVE INTO THE THE COMMERCIAL BUILDING ON THE NORTH SIDE. AND BECAUSE OF HOW THIS OLDER STYLE OF PARKING ARRANGEMENT AS YOU SEE HERE, THE THE PARKING LOT AND THEY THEY PULL OFF MEADOW LANE WHEN THEY COME OFF GENTRY, THE, THE NEW OWNER WOULD LIKE TO HAVE BETTER OFF STREET PARKING FOR THEIR, FOR THEIR, THEIR BUSINESS. AND SO THEY, THEY HAVE REQUESTED TO REZONE THIS PROPERTY TO, TO OFFICE TO FACILITATE THAT. THAT PARKING LOT WITH THAT ANY THE THEY WILL REQUIRE BE REQUIRED TO HAVE A BUFFER YARD ADJACENT TO THE THE HOME TO THE SOUTH. AND IF THERE IS ANY PARKING SPACES UP FRONT THAT HOME, THEY WILL HAVE TO HAVE A SCREEN LIKE A FENCE OR, OR A, A HEDGEROW OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO, TO BUFFER ANY, ANY HEADLIGHTS FROM, FROM THAT HOME TO THE SOUTH.

CAMERON.[M-1 Request that the City Council consider authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Union Pacific Railroad to perform preliminary engineering services costs associated with the 2024 Railroad Crossing Improvements projects in the amount of $210,000.00.]
GOOD MORNING. MAYOR COUNCIL THIS MORNING WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT WITH UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD FOR OUR CURRENT RAILROAD GRADE CROSSING IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. IN THE HALF CENT PROGRAM, WE CREATED THESE ANNUAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. AND CURRENTLY WE HAVE FOUR LOCATIONS UNDERNEATH DESIGN. THOSE ARE EAST LUCAS, EAST FERGUSON AND EAST ERWIN IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA, ASSOCIATED WITH CONVERTING THESE FROM ONE WAY TRAFFIC TO TWO WAY TRAFFIC AND IMPROVING PEDESTRIAN CROSSING AND THOSE CROSSING SERVICES, AND THEN ALSO EAST LAKE STREET NEAR THE MEDICAL DISTRICT AS FAR AS A LOT OF EMERGENCY VEHICLES IN THIS AREA, AND IMPROVING THAT CROSSING QUALITY. AND SO THIS REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT IS PART OF THE DESIGN WE CURRENTLY HAVE. HDR IS WORKING ON DESIGN FOR THESE. THIS IS A SECOND SEPARATE AGREEMENT FROM THE HDR DESIGN CONTRACT DIRECTLY WITH UNION PACIFIC TO COVER THEIR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH COMPLETING THIS, THEY DO AN ON SITE DIAGNOSTIC PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING REVIEW OF THE CROSSING, SOME DESIGN, AND ALSO CREATE THAT COST ESTIMATE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT THAT GOES IN PLACE THERE. AND SO THIS WAS ALSO APPROVED BY THE HALF CENT SALES TAX LAST WEEK. YOU SEE A SUMMARY OF THE COST WITH HDR DESIGN AND THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT. AND SO IT IS REQUESTED THAT CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD TO PERFORM PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING SERVICE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE 2024 WELL RAILROAD CROSSING IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS AND THE AMOUNT OF $210,000. ALL RIGHT.QUESTION. YES, SIR. LAKE STREET, I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE FOUR. CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT. SO YOU DO THIS STUDY BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WHEN YOU CROSS LAKE STREET OR ON LAKE STREET, YOU CROSS THE RAILROAD TRACKS, YOU JUST BUST AROUND. SO AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU DO THE STUDY AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT IS DETERMINED OR WHAT IS RECOMMENDED. BUT IF AT THE END OF THE DAY, IF YOU SPEND THIS MONEY, WILL THESE, THESE, THESE CROSSINGS BE IMPROVED AND AT WHOSE EXPENSE? YES, SIR. SO, YES, THAT IS PART OF THE LAKE STREET REDESIGN, IS WORKING ON THAT PROFILE OF THAT CROSSING TO IMPROVE THAT. AND IT IS ON US AS THE CITY TO IMPROVE, ESPECIALLY OUTSIDE OF THE RIGHT OF WAY TO IMPROVE THAT, BECAUSE IT IS OUR STREET AND OUR OUR APPROACH. SO THOSE ARE COSTS FOR US TO DESIGN AND CONSTRUCT THAT. WE'VE DONE THIS BEFORE. MLK MAY REMEMBER BACK WHEN WE IMPROVED MLK, WE WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR VERY MUCH THE ENGINEERING AND THE REPAIRS TO THE CROSSING THERE AT THAT LOCATION. AND SO LAKE WILL BE THE SAME. BUT THIS GIVES YOU THE ENGINEERING KIND OF REPORT TO BE ABLE TO THEN GO OUT AND DO THE BIDDING FOR THE PROJECT IN THE FUTURE, AND FOR THE DOWNTOWN ONES. JUST AND CAMERON KIND OF ALLUDED TO IT, BUT THE REASON THAT WE HAVE LOCUST, FERGUSON AND ERWIN THAT WE'RE ALSO DOING IS BECAUSE OF TAKING THOSE STREETS TO TWO WAY AS PART OF THE DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION PROJECT. AND SO RIGHT NOW, IT'S ALL WITH THE GATES AND EVERYTHING. IT'S DESIGNED JUST FOR ACCESS, HEADED IN, YOU KNOW, IN ONE DIRECTION. AND SO WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO GO BACK AND REWORK THOSE SO THAT IT IS ABLE TO THE GATES AND EVERYTHING WORK FOR TWO DIRECTIONS. THAT'S CORRECT.
OKAY. I HAVE NO MORE QUESTIONS. YOU KNOW ME. YOU KNOW ME ABOUT STUDIES. SO THIS IS ACTUALLY THE THE DESIGN. THE LAW REQUIRES ENGINEERING. TRUST ME, WE'RE WE'RE NEVER HAPPY ABOUT IT EITHER, EXCEPT FOR ENGINEERS. AND SO JUST TO CLARIFY, THIS IS THE DESIGN FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS.
SO IT'S YOU KNOW, WE ARE MOVING FORWARD TO CREATE THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FOR THESE PROJECTS. MOVE TO APPROVE. SECOND, GOT A MOTION BY NICOLE. SECOND BY WINNING ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES. THANKS, CAMERON. GOOD

MORNING. DURING YOUR LAST MAN UP, LET'S SEE SOME ENTHUSIASM. ALRIGHT, HERE WE GO. ALRIGHT, LET'S DO THIS. WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT HERE, I WANT TO I'M UP HERE FOR THE CONSENT DECREE, BRICK REMOVAL PROJECT, CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR APPROVAL FOR IT. BASICALLY WHAT THIS CONTRACT INCLUDES IS REMOVING THE BRICK AHEAD OF THE SANITARY SEWER LINE. CONTRACTOR BELT CONSTRUCTION, THAT'S DOING THE CAPACITY IMPROVEMENTS GROUP TWO CAPACITY IMPROVEMENTS[00:45:04]
PROJECT. SO WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS REMOVING THE BRICK. WE'RE CLEANING THE BRICK, WE'RE STOCKPILING IT OFF SITE AND WE'RE PUTTING IN SOME PAVEMENT. SO WHENEVER THE SEWER LINE CONTRACTOR, HE CAN JUST COME THROUGH AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE BRICK OR ANYTHING SIMILAR TO THAT, WE'RE GETTING THAT OUT OF THE WAY NOW. THAT'S ALL THIS PROJECT INCLUDES. AS FAR AS A FUTURE PROJECT, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS WE'RE GOING TO WAIT UNTIL THE PROJECT OR THE CONTRACTOR, THEIR CONTRACTOR COMES THROUGH, INSTALLS A SEWER LINE, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO WAIT UNTIL HE'S GOING TO INSTALL SOME TEMPORARY PAVEMENT. WE'RE GOING TO WAIT UNTIL THE SETTLEMENT OF THE TRENCH, ANY TRENCH SETTLEMENT COMES THROUGH AND HAS A CHANCE TO ACTUALLY SETTLE. THEN WE WE WILL GO BACK IN THERE AND REPAIR THAT AND REINSTALL THE BRICKS WHERE THERE ARE BRICK STREETS, REINSTALL PAVEMENT, ASPHALT PAVEMENT, LIKE ON ELM STREET RIGHT HERE WHERE THERE'S ASPHALT PAVING. WE'RE NOT CHANGING ANY PAVEMENT TYPES. WE ARE REINSTALLING THE BRICK. ONCE WE TAKE IT BACK OUT. ONE OF THE ONE OF THE LOCATIONS RIGHT HERE, THIS IS THE BIGGEST LOCATION ALL IN ONE PLACE. THE YELLOW SHOWS THAT IT'S A ASPHALT PAVEMENT. THE ORANGE SHOWS THAT IT IS EXISTING BRICK. AND WE'LL GO BACK AS BRICK. AND THERE ARE THREE OTHER OR FOUR OTHER LOCATIONS RIGHT HERE OVER BY THE LIBRARY. AND THEN OVER DOWN, DOWN THE HALLWAY. MIDDLE SCHOOL AREA. WE DID TAKE ADVERTISED TO BE AS OPEN BIDS ON SEPTEMBER 9TH. THE CROWN CIVIL WAS THE LOW BIDDER AT JUST UNDER $1.5 MILLION. THE WHICH WAS UNDER THE ENGINEER'S COST ESTIMATE. SO YOU CAN SEE THE BIDS RANGE ANYWHERE FROM 1.5 TO ABOUT 2.5 MILLION. SO THE CROWN DOES A LOT OF WORK FOR US ON BRICK STREETS.THEY'RE VERY GOOD AND WE TRUST THEM. SO IT IS REQUESTED COUNCIL WOULD AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT WITH CROWN CIVIL CONSTRUCTION CORPORATION FOR THE TWO CONSENT DECREE BRICK REMOVAL PROJECT FOR $1,473,686. BID NUMBER 2507 FOUR. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS FOR DARREN? YEAH. WHEN DID EXCUSE ME, THE THE CONSENT DECREE ORIGINATE? THAT WAS BACK IN 2017. SO YES. AND JUST, YOU KNOW, KIND OF, YOU KNOW, COUNCILMAN HAWKINS KIND OF OPENS UP THE DOOR FOR THIS ONE.
THIS IS BEING PAID FOR FROM THE FUNDS. ONE OF THE PIECES THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT WAS THIS IS WE LOOKED AT THE CONSENT DECREE PROJECT, THE COST OF IT. AND AS ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS WHAT IS THE IMPACT ON OUR CUSTOMERS, OUR WATER UTILITY CUSTOMERS? THIS WAS A GREAT PROJECT. WE'RE ENGINEERING AND TYLER WATER UTILITIES WERE ABLE TO LOOK AT THE PROJECT AND SOME OF THE STUFF GOING ON DOWNTOWN AS WELL, TO SAY, HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THEN THAT CAN WE SHIFT THE BRICK PROJECT PART OF THIS, WHICH IS ULTIMATELY THE COLLECTION OF THE BRICKS TO BEING ABLE TO TAKE THOSE FOR TO BECAUSE ULTIMATELY FOR THE WASTEWATER LINE PROJECT, IT NEEDS THESE BRICKS OUT OF THE WAY BECAUSE OF THE, OF COURSE, HAVING TO DIG IN THAT AREA. AND SO HALF CENT THEN TAKES ON THAT PROJECT SO THAT TYLER WATER UTILITIES DOESN'T HAVE TO BEAR THE COST OF IT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS. MOVE TO APPROVE.

THE TYLER ROSE GARDEN IS NOW AN OFFICIAL MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC GARDENS ASSOCIATION, GIVING US ACCESS TO A NATIONWIDE NETWORK OF PUBLIC GARDENS, PROFESSIONAL RESOURCES AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES. MEMBERSHIP ALSO ALLOWED US TO POST JOB OPENINGS[00:50:05]
ON A PGA'S NATIONAL JOB BOARD, AN EXCELLENT TOOL FOR REACHING QUALIFIED HORTICULTURAL PROFESSIONALS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. IN ADDITION TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR US TO PURSUE ACCREDITATION FOR OUR ROSE COLLECTION THROUGH THE PLANTS COLLECTION NETWORK, WHICH GIVES US THE GARDEN FORMAL RECOGNITION AMONG PUBLIC GARDENS NATIONWIDE, ESPECIALLY COMING OFF OF AN INCREDIBLY SUCCESSFUL ROSE FESTIVAL. THIS WAS JUST AS FAR AS WONDERFUL NEWS FOR US TO RECEIVE AS WELL, AND SO WE APPRECIATE EVERYONE INVOLVED WITH OUR PARKS DEPARTMENT AND OUR ROSE GARDEN WITH HELPING TO GET THAT. AS FAR AS ACCREDITATION WITH AMERICAN PUBLIC GARDENS ASSOCIATION. AND JUST ALSO, JUST AS AN ASIDE, FOR ALL THE INCREDIBLE WORK THAT EVERYONE DID FOR THE ROSE FESTIVAL AND MAKING THAT SUCH A GREAT EVENT FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO COME TO, YOU ALSO, BESIDES, YOU KNOW, EVERYONE WHO CAME IN FOR THE ROOSEVELT, WE HAVE SOME SPECIAL PEOPLE HERE AS WELL, AND THOSE WERE FROM OUR SISTER CITY OF HELENA GORA, POLAND. AND SO THEY CAME, YOU KNOW, THE CITY BEGAN OUR OFFICIAL SISTER CITY AS FAR AS RECOGNITION AND JUST TOUR OF TYLER FOR THEM. ON LAST WEDNESDAY, THE CITY COUNCIL WAS INCREDIBLE IN HELPING HOST THEM, VISITING WITH THEM AS BEST YOU COULD. AND SO IT WAS THEY GOT TO SEE ALL PARTS OF TYLER. THEY WERE VERY IMPRESSED. THEY WERE HEADED HOME YESTERDAY, BUT NOT BEFORE BEING ABLE TO SEE, YOU KNOW, ALL THE BEST PARTS OF OUR COMMUNITY AND THEY SEEM EXTREMELY GRATEFUL. AND ALSO SPEAKING OF SENIOR CITIZEN CENTERS, WE'RE ABLE TO DANCE ALONG WITH THE SENIORS AT A JUST AN EVENT WE HELD FOR FRIDAY. SO GREAT TIME AND WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THE COUNCIL DID, OUR STAFF DID, AND OUR COMMUNITY DID TO HOST OUR OUR FRIENDS FROM POLAND. AND THEN AS FAR AS JUST SOME KIND OF NEWS THAT WE'LL BE RELEASING LATER TODAY, WE'RE PLEASED TO REPORT THAT THE LEAK ON THE RAW WATER LINE FROM LAKE TYLER TO GOLDEN ROSE WATER TREATMENT PLANT WAS SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED AS OF SUNDAY AFTERNOON. SO FOLLOWING TESTING DURING PEAK DEMAND ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY, GOLDEN ROSE WATER TREATMENT PLANT IS NOW OPERATING AT FULL CAPACITY AT THE LAKE TYLER PALACE AT LAKE PALESTINE WATER TREATMENT PLANT. 68. FILTERS ARE NOW BACK IN SERVICE, INCREASING OUR OVERALL SYSTEM CAPACITY. AND SO WITH THE RAW WATER LINE FULLY RESTORED AND GOLDEN ROSE WATER TREATMENT PLANT RUNNING AT FULL OUTPUT, ALONG WITH THE IMPROVED CAPACITY OF LAKE PALESTINE WATER TREATMENT PLANT, WE'RE NOW ABLE TO MEET SYSTEM WIDE DEMAND AND AS A RESULT, STAGE TWO WATER RESTRICTIONS ARE BEING LIFTED TODAY. WE DO APPRECIATE THE COMMUNITY'S COOPERATION THROUGHOUT THIS PERIOD THAT CAN HELP US THROUGH THIS. AS FAR AS WORKING ON THE ISSUES WE'RE HAVING, PALESTINE WATER TREATMENT THAT CAME FORWARD, AS WELL AS REPAIRS THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN SCHEDULED FOR THE GOLDEN ROSE WATER TREATMENT PLANT, OR PARTICULARLY THE LAKE TYLER LINE AND WATER INTAKE LINE THAT RUNS FROM LAKE TYLER TO GOLDEN ROAD. OUR BIG DEMAND DAYS ARE MONDAYS AND FRIDAYS. EVERYBODY LOVES TO WATER THEIR YARDS THAT MORNING, AND SO WE'RE REALLY DID GET OUT AND PEOPLE DID DECREASE THEIR IRRIGATION ON THOSE MORNINGS TO BE ABLE TO FOR US TO BE ABLE TO MEET OUR CAPACITY NEEDS THROUGH THE SYSTEM WHILE THOSE REPAIRS ARE BEING MADE. I'D LIKE TO COMMEND THOSE WHO CAME BEFORE US THAT TODAY WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO LITERALLY OPERATE AT 50 OR 60% CAPACITY WHILE WE'RE ABLE TO DO THAT, BECAUSE THAT JUST SHOWS PEOPLE THOUGHT AHEAD THOSE THAT CAME AND PLANNED WELL. SO IT'S A GOOD DEAL. I WANT TO MAKE ONE OTHER COMMENT ABOUT THE POLISH DELEGATION. THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THIS, AND RUSS IS BACK THERE, AND RUSS WAS IN CHARGE OF MAKING SURE THAT THEY HAD TRANSIT TO GET TO ALL THE DIFFERENT PLACES. IT WAS A IT WAS A PACKED SCHEDULE.AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN WHEN THE SIX OF THEM CAME, THEY CAME HERE. ACTUALLY, FOUR OF THEM HAD NEVER BEEN TO AMERICA FOR THE SIX. AND AND THEY CAME TO TYLER AND THEY DIDN'T LEAVE TO GO TO NEW YORK OR ANYWHERE ELSE. THEY THEY SPENT THEIR ENTIRE TIME HERE IN TYLER, AND WE HAD A DINNER AT OUR HOUSE LAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT, AND I'D GONE OUT AND BOUGHT THREE DIFFERENT KINDS OF VODKA, THINKING THAT, YOU KNOW, OTHER PEOPLE LIKE TO DRINK VODKA. WELL, THEY DIDN'T WANT TO DRINK VODKA. THEY WANTED TO DRINK JACK DANIELS BECAUSE THEY'RE IN TEXAS. AND AND SO WE HAD THEM, WE HAD THEM SET UP TO GO TO A CATHOLIC CHURCH ON SUNDAYS, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY DO AT HOME. AND THEY SAID, WE CAN DO THAT AT HOME. AND SO WE WOULD LIKE TO GO TO A BAPTIST CHURCH. SO WE TOOK THEM TO GREEN ACRES BAPTIST CHURCH IN 2500 PEOPLE ON THERE AND THE LOUD MUSIC AND AND THEY WERE MESMERIZED AND THEY LOVED IT. THEN WE HAD THE GOING AWAY PARTY MONDAY NIGHT AT VILLA MONTES AND HAD THEY SHOW UP COWBOY HATS, COWBOY SHIRTS, JEANS, WRANGLERS BOOTS. THEY WENT SHOPPING AT BOOT BARN AND CAVENDER'S. SO WHEN THEY COME TO TEXAS, THEY WANTED TO DO TEXAS. AND ANYWAY, IT WAS A FABULOUS TRIP. WE HAD A GREAT
