 Request that the City Council conduct a public hearing and receive a presentation of the final draft Tyler Tomorrow Comprehensive Plan, including the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) and draft Midtown, UT Tyler, and North End Revitalization Area Development Plans.]
ALRIGHT, P ONE. GOOD MORNING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. HEATHER NICK, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER. AND I'M HAPPY TODAY TO BRING OUR FIRST PRESENTATION OF THE DRAFT PLAN OF TYLER TOMORROW TO THE COUNCIL AND THE PUBLIC. AND WE STARTED THIS PLAN ABOUT EIGHT, ALMOST 16 MONTHS AGO. THERE WAS A LOT OF WORK IN THE BACKGROUND TO GET US STARTED. A LOT OF DATA COLLECTION, LOOKING AT OTHER PLANS OF THE CITY AND SHARING THAT WITH OUR CONSULTANTS WHO ARE HERE TODAY. WE HAVE DAVID AND KENDALL IN THE AUDIENCE, AND THEY THEY ARE HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. WE ALSO STARTED WITH A COMMUNITY SURVEY, A STATISTICALLY VALID SURVEY. AND WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS THAT WE HAD A GREAT RESULT THAT IS GEOGRAPHICALLY REPRESENTATIVE THROUGHOUT OUR CITY, AND AT A 95% LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE. SO PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING THAT YOU SAW STATED IN THE SURVEY, YOU HAVE A 95% CHANCE THAT WHAT YOU'RE READING IS ACCURATE. THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF SOME OF THE OUTCOMES OF THE SURVEY. LOOKING AT IMPORTANT ISSUES FOR THE CITY REMAIN AT TRAFFIC CONGESTION, MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE GREAT PUBLIC SAFETY. AND YOU CAN SEE HERE WE ALSO SURVEYED THE AREAS AROUND MIDTOWN, UT TYLER AND THE TEXAS COLLEGE AREA. SO IN LOOKING AT WHAT OUR COMMUNITY HAS FOR THE VISION FOR OUR FUTURE, BETTER TRAFFIC FLOW, AND ALSO LOOKING AT MORE SIDEWALKS AND WALKING PATHS, MORE AFFORDABLE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND ACTIVITIES FOR OUR YOUTH. OUR STEERING COMMITTEE WAS ESTABLISHED EARLY ON. IT REPRESENTED A DIVERSE ARRAY OF INDIVIDUALS THROUGHOUT OUR CITY, AND I'VE CERTAINLY THE CITY COUNCIL ALL PARTICIPATED ON OUR STEERING COMMITTEE, AS WELL AS MEMBERS OF OUR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND OTHER MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY, LIKE IN THE MEDICAL FIELD OR EDUCATIONAL. AND SO YOU CAN SEE THOSE NAMES HERE. WE ALSO HAD A COMMITTEE THAT WAS FOCUSED IN ON OUR AREA DEVELOPMENT ASPECT OF OUR PLANNING. THAT WAS ALSO A PART OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING PROCESS. THERE WERE STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS HELD BY OUR CONSULTANTS WITH THE STAKEHOLDERS THAT YOU CAN SEE HERE. THERE WAS A LARGE LIST, AND THESE WERE OUR FOLKS THAT WERE ABLE TO HAVE THOSE ONE ON ONE STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS. SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THAT IS OUR VISION FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND IT IS A COMMUNITY VISION. THIS WAS A HEAVILY INVOLVED, COMMUNITY DRIVEN PLAN. AND OUR VISION THAT THE COMMUNITY DRAFTED TOGETHER, ALONG WITH OUR STEERING COMMITTEE, IS TYLER STRIVES TO BE THE HEARTBEAT OF EAST TEXAS AND BEYOND, A RESILIENT NATURAL BEAUTY WHERE INNOVATION AND PROSPERITY CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL. AND WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? SO THESE PILLARS WERE ALSO ESTABLISHED THAT IT TELLS US WHAT THAT MEANS. GREAT PLACES AND NEIGHBORHOODS, BUSINESSES, GREAT PEOPLE, GREAT ENTERTAINMENT, NATURAL ENVIRONMENT, INSTITUTIONS, SERVICES AND A GREAT QUALITY OF LIFE. IN LOOKING AT THAT, WE KNOW THAT TYLER IS THE EAST TEXAS HUB FOR THE MEDICAL 
          [00:10:05]
INDUSTRY, EDUCATION AND ECONOMY WE HAVE. WE'RE ALSO A GREAT HUB FOR RETAIL IN THIS AREA. WE HELD MANY COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT EVENTS. WE WENT OUT TO THE COMMUNITY, WENT WHERE THEY WERE AT, FOR EXAMPLE, WE WENT TO THE FARMERS MARKET AND WE WERE ABLE TO INTERACT WITH A DIVERSE ARRAY OF FOLKS. WE LIKE THE COMMUNITY NIGHT OUT. WE WERE ABLE TO DO THAT AND MANY OTHERS, AND ALSO HELD SEVERAL OPEN HOUSES TO GET INPUT FROM THE PUBLIC, WHERE WE COULD REALLY ENGAGE ONE ON ONE WITH OUR COMMUNITY AND FIND OUT WHAT WAS IMPORTANT TO THEM. AND THAT IS WHAT REALLY HELPED DRIVE THIS PLAN. AND YOU CAN JUST SEE ALL THE PLETHORA PICTURES WE TRIED TO. YEAH, SHOW YOU WHAT, WHAT WE EXPERIENCED. SO WHAT IS SO EXCITING ABOUT THIS PLAN AND WHAT IS SO DIFFERENT THAN THE LAST PLAN IS THE LAST PLAN. WE WERE DEVELOPING THAT IN 2005, 2007 RANGE. WE DID NOT HAVE SOCIAL MEDIA BACK THEN. SO THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE WERE ABLE TO UTILIZE THIS TIME. AND THROUGH THAT OUTREACH, WE WERE ABLE TO CONNECT AND REACH OVER 262,000 PEOPLE. AND I'M SURE THIS NUMBER HAS ALREADY CHANGED. I WAS GIVEN AN UPDATE THIS MORNING THAT IT HAS CHANGED. I DON'T KNOW THOSE NEW NUMBERS, BUT IT HAS CHANGED AS WE WE DID HAVE SOME MORE COVERAGE ON THE THE LONG RANGE PLAN. OUR COMMUNITY VISION LAST NIGHT. 
          AND ANOTHER FASCINATING ELEMENT TO THIS IS THAT SINCE WE POSTED THE PLAN ON, WELL EARLIER THIS MONTH, IT HAS BEEN DOWNLOADED ABOUT 280 TIMES. SO THAT IS IMPRESSIVE. THAT REALLY GOES TO SHOW THAT THE COMMUNITY IS HEAVILY INVOLVED AND THIS IS IMPORTANT TO THEM. AND IT HAS REALLY HELPED US WITH DRIVING THE VISION AND KNOWING WHAT OUR COMMUNITY WANTS AND REALLY MAKE THIS THE COMMUNITY'S PLAN. IN LOOKING AT OUR PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT THEMES, IT REALLY REVOLVED AROUND THE THINGS THAT WE WERE HEARING ABOUT STREETS, TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT, PARKS AND TRAILS AND PUBLIC SERVICES. OUR INFRASTRUCTURE, WHICH IS SO IMPORTANT TO OUR COMMUNITY. WE HELD OPEN HOUSES THAT REALLY ZONED IN ON ON THESE ASPECTS, AND WE WERE ABLE TO GET A LOT OF GREAT FEEDBACK. OUR STEERING COMMITTEE WOULD THEN MEET TO DISCUSS WHAT WE WERE HEARING FROM THE COMMUNITY AND, AND THEN FURTHER DRILL DOWN AND DRIVE THAT VISION FOR THE PLAN. 
          SO AS BEFORE, I PASS THIS OVER TO KYLE WHAT ADOPTION MEANS. AND WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR ADOPTION OR RECOMMENDING THAT TODAY, WE WILL BE TAKING THIS TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION NEXT MONTH. AND WHAT WE WANT TO TO DO IS MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE DESCRIBING WHAT ADOPTION MEANS FOR OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. IT IS A PLAN. IT'S A GUIDE. IT ESTABLISHES THAT LONG RANGE LAND USE POLICY THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF THE PLAN, SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A VISION AS THE DECISION MAKERS ARE MAYBE ADOPTING ORDINANCES IN THE FUTURE OR MAKING ZONING DECISIONS. IT UPDATES THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, AND THAT IS REALLY THE KEY TOOL THAT WE LOOK AT AS WE ARE CONSIDERING ZONING DECISIONS. YOU ARE PROBABLY VERY FAMILIAR WITH THAT. AS WE BRING ZONING ITEMS TO YOU OVER THESE LAST MANY YEARS SINCE THE ADOPTION OF TYLER, 21, IN THAT WE DO REVIEW THE FUTURE LAND USE GUIDE TO SEE IS THAT ZONING REQUEST IN LINE WITH THAT? HAVE THERE BEEN CHANGE CONDITIONS BECAUSE IT IS A GUIDE FOR FUTURE LAND USE MAP, AND WE HAVE AMENDED THAT GUIDE MANY TIMES, PROBABLY HUNDREDS OF TIMES SINCE TYLER, 21, WAS ORIGINALLY ADOPTED. BECAUSE THERE CAN BE CHANGE CONDITIONS ON THE GROUND, AND YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE NOT JUST RELYING ON A MAP THAT'S ZOOMED OUT LIKE A 20,000FT. YOU WANT TO HONE IN. AND THAT'S THE PART WHERE THE PLANNERS WILL GO OUT AND LOOK AT THE GROUND, ANY CHANGE CONDITIONS, AND THEN BE ABLE TO COME BACK AND NOT ONLY RECOMMEND A ZONING CASE, BUT BE ABLE TO SAY, OKAY, WELL, THE FUTURE LAND USE GUIDE SAID X. 
          BUT THERE'S BEEN CHANGE CONDITIONS, SO WE'RE RECOMMENDING TO AMEND THAT MAP. 
          SO IT PROVIDES POLICY BASIS FOR THOSE ZONING DECISIONS. IT GUIDES FUTURE ORDINANCE UPDATES AND INFORMS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANS. WHAT IT DOES NOT CHANGE. WHAT DOES THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN NOT CHANGE? IT DOES NOT CHANGE ZONING FOR ANYONE. EVERYONE HAS THEIR ZONING. THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GOING TO BRING ZONING TO YOU IS ON AN INDIVIDUAL CASE BY CASE BASIS, 
          [00:15:05]
AND THAT IS THROUGH THE PUBLIC AND THEIR PROPERTY, RIGHT, AND THEIR RIGHT TO DUE PROCESS TO BRING THOSE CASES BEFORE THIS ENTITY. IT DOES NOT REMOVE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS. 
          EVERYONE IS STILL VESTED FOR THEIR RIGHTS THAT THEY HAVE TODAY. THIS DOES NOT CHANGE THAT. AND THEN IT IT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY APPROVE DENSITY. SO IT WOULDN'T. IF THERE'S A SINGLE FAMILY AREA, IT'S NOT GOING TO AUTOMATICALLY MAKE IT INTO A TOWNHOUSE AREA. THIS THESE ARE GUIDES. AND ANYTHING MOVING INTO THE FUTURE WOULD HAVE TO BE CODIFIED INTO MAYBE AN ORDINANCE OR SOME OTHER DOCUMENT THAT WOULD HAVE MORE TEETH. SO THIS IS A GREAT GUIDE FOR OUR CITY AS WE MOVE INTO THE FUTURE. TYLER TOMORROW. SO WITH THAT, I WILL PASS IT ON TO KYLE KINGMAN. GOOD MORNING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, KYLE KINGMAN, PLANNING DIRECTOR. SO WHAT YOU KNOW, THE BIG IDEA HERE. SO WITH TYLER TOMORROW, THIS THIS SLIDE SUMS UP THE THE HEART OF THE PLAN. SO TYLER, TOMORROW IS REALLY ABOUT GROWING IN A THOUGHTFUL WAY, MAKING SURE THAT WE PROTECT WHAT'S ALREADY WORKING AND PLANNING AHEAD TO TO STAY STRONG AS WE GROW. THE IDEA IS TO KEEP TYLER AS A GREAT PLACE, AS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE, WORK, AND RAISE A FAMILY AND TO MAKE IT EVEN BETTER AS WE GO OVER THE NEXT 20 YEARS, AS WE SEE HERE, THIS IS REALLY SUMMARIZING THE FEEDBACK THAT WE'VE RECEIVED OVER ALL THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT THAT WE'VE DONE, AND WHAT THE PLAN INCORPORATES FOR FOR ADOPTION. SO LOOKING AT MAKING SURE THAT THE THE PLAN MEETS THE VISION AND THE VALUES OF OUR COMMUNITY, WHICH IS TO MAINTAIN TYLER'S HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE, WHICH AT THE HEART OF IT IS PUBLIC SAFETY, FAMILY FRIENDLY, FAMILY FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT AND PRESERVING NATURAL BEAUTY. THAT CAN BE MANY THINGS THAT CAN BE WALKING TRAILS, GREEN SPACE AND EVEN PROTECTION OF OUR OUR NATURAL RESOURCES, OUR OUR WATER AND THINGS LIKE THAT. ALSO, WE WANT THE PLAN WANTS TO MAKE SURE AS WE MOVE FORWARD THAT WE STRENGTHEN THE, THE, THE ROLE THAT WE PLAY IN THE REGION. AS YOU KNOW, BEING THE HUB FOR HIGHER EDUCATION, HEALTH CARE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND PROSPERITY THROUGH THE THROUGH TYLER, BUT ALSO SMITH COUNTY AND THE EAST TEXAS AREA. ALSO WITH THIS PLAN, MAKE SURE MAKE SURE THAT WE WE PLAN PROACTIVELY FOR CONTINUED GROWTH BECAUSE AS AS WE KNOW OR AS WE ANTICIPATE, GROWTH IS GOING TO CONTINUE IN TYLER. AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WE HAVE A PLAN THAT HELPS US BE INTENTIONAL ABOUT THAT, THAT WE WE HAVE RECOMMENDATIONS OR STRATEGIES TO TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE WELL-DESIGNED DEVELOPMENT AS WE AS WE GROW. AND WE ALSO PROTECT OUR NATURAL RESOURCES. PLAN FOR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS. MAKE SURE THAT WE PLAN FOR THAT GROWTH THAT'S COMING. ALSO THAT WE DON'T THAT WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN POINT TO TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WE MAINTAIN THAT OUR LOCAL, YOU KNOW, CULTURE OR THAT WE HAVE PLACES THAT WE CAN RECREATE AND THINGS LIKE THAT, AND ALSO MAKE SURE THAT AS WE GROW AND WE HAVE DECISIONS THAT ARE PUT BEFORE US, THAT WE WE MAKE SURE THAT WE MAKE A FINANCIALLY STRONG DECISION OR WE HAVE SOME KIND OF BACKING FOR THAT. SO THE PLAN INCLUDES A WHOLE CHAPTER ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND, YOU KNOW, FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY, FISCAL RESILIENCY. AS HEATHER MENTIONED, WE HAVE THE PLAN DOES INCORPORATE A FUTURE LAND USE MAP. AGAIN, THIS IS ABOUT 20 000 OR MAYBE HIGHER VIEW OF THE CITY GENERALLY IS LOOKING AT AT MAJOR INTERSECTIONS, YOU KNOW, KIND OF LAND USES THAT YOU MIGHT ANTICIPATE. AND THIS IS KIND OF TIED TO THERE'S A THERE'S A FISCAL PART OF THIS AS WELL THAT, THAT THESE LAND USES, THEY DO GENERATE, YOU KNOW, INCOME AS WELL, TAX BASE AND THINGS LIKE THAT FOR THE COMMUNITY. AND MAKE SURE THAT WE, WE DO THIS IN A WAY THAT RECOGNIZES THAT AS WELL. AND SO LIKE, LIKE HEATHER MENTIONED, IT'S A LONG RANGE POLICY TOOL. 
          IT'S INTENDED TO TO PLAN FOR THE EVOLUTION OF LAND USE OVER THE NEXT 10 TO 20 YEARS. AND IT'S NOT ZONING IT. IT HELPS GUIDE THOSE LAND USE DECISIONS AS THEY COME UP. IN TERMS OF THE THE PLAN ITSELF, IT'S IT'S SEVEN CHAPTERS, AS YOU SEE HERE. AND SO THERE'S THE COMMUNITY SNAPSHOT, WHICH INCLUDES THE VISION OF OUR OF THE PLAN WHICH HEATHER MENTIONED, LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT, HOUSING AND NEIGHBORHOODS, INFRASTRUCTURE AND TRANSPORTATION, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND FINALLY IMPLEMENTATION. THE THE PLAN IS 143 PAGES. AND SO IT'S A 
          [00:20:02]
SMALLER READ THAN THE PREVIOUS PLAN, WHICH IS 569 PAGES. AND SO IT IS MORE A TIGHTER, YOU KNOW, FRAMEWORK FOR THE FUTURE. BUT WHAT THAT MEANS IS IT IS EVERYTHING THAT'S IMPORTANT TO OUR COMMUNITY IS REFLECTED IN HERE IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS THE THE NORTH STAR? WHAT IS THE THE PRIZE THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT WE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE WE ARE STICKING TO. SO WITH THAT, WE ALSO THROUGH THIS PROCESS, WE DID SOME MORE FOCUSED PLANNING EFFORTS ON ON UPDATING THE MIDTOWN PLAN, THE TYLER AREA PLAN, AND ALSO LOOKING AT THE NORTH END AS A PLAN AS WELL. AND SO WE HAVE THREE SMALL AREA PLAN AREA DEVELOPMENT PLANS THAT ARE ALSO PART OF THIS, THIS PROCESS. THEY ARE STANDALONE DOCUMENTS. THEY ARE ESSENTIALLY DEEPER DIVES INTO THOSE SPECIFIC AREAS OF OF TYLER. AND THEY DO HAVE THEIR OWN IMPLEMENTATION ELEMENTS, STRATEGIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. FOR THOSE SPECIFIC AREAS. JUST REALLY BRIEFLY, I'LL KIND OF GO THROUGH JUST SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS ON ON THESE. BUT ON THE MIDTOWN AREA, THIS THIS UPDATE GIVES A MORE DETAILED LOOK AT HOW THIS, THIS PART OF THE CITY CAN DEVELOP OVER TIME, FOCUSES ON IMPROVING CORRIDORS LIKE FIFTH STREET AND BECKHAM, MAKING BETTER CONNECTIONS WITHIN THE AREA. IT ALSO LOOKS AT IMPROVING NEIGHBORHOOD CONNECTIONS, GATEWAYS WERE FOR TRAILS AND OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT. OVERALL, THE GOAL IS TO SUPPORT GROWTH IN A WAY THAT MAKES MIDTOWN MORE WALKABLE, MORE CONNECTED, AND MORE VIBRANT. IT IS A CRITICAL AREA OF OUR CITY THAT WE DO HAVE MAJOR EMPLOYMENT IN THIS AREA. 
          WE HAVE A MAJOR EDUCATION HUB IN THIS AREA AS WELL, AND MAKE SURE THAT AS WE GROW OVER THE NEXT 20 YEARS, THAT WE ALSO HAVE CONSIDERATION FOR THAT. THE TYLER AREA, THIS THIS PLAN FOCUSES ON GROWTH AROUND THE UNIVERSITY. IT SUPPORTS THE THE UNIVERSITY'S EFFORTS TO CREATE A MORE TRADITIONAL CAMPUS FEEL, WHILE MAKING SURE THAT THE SURROUNDING AREAS STAY LIVABLE AND AFFORDABLE. IT ALSO EMPHASIZES WALKABILITY, SAFER STREETS, AND BETTER CONNECTIONS FOR EVERYBODY THAT USES THIS IN THIS AREA. AND THEY'RE IN THEIR LIVING, THEIR OR THEIR THEIR THROUGHOUT THE DAY TO TO GO TO SCHOOL. AND AGAIN, SO THIS THIS ALSO LOOKS AT THE SPECIFIC PART OF THE CITY FOR RECOMMENDATIONS TO, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MEET THESE GOALS. AND THEN FINALLY THE THE NORTH END AREA PLAN HERE. THE PREVIOUS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HAD AN ENTIRE CHAPTER ON ON NORTH ON THE NORTH END. AND SO THE CURRENT PLAN, LIKE I MENTIONED, IS SMALLER BECAUSE IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE INTERTWINED WITH ALL THESE DIFFERENT, ALL DIFFERENT STRATEGIES AND RECOMMENDATIONS. BUT THIS THIS PLAN HERE IS AGAIN, IT'S TAKING IT TO A SEPARATE A SEPARATE PLAN THAT ALSO INCLUDES PRIORITIES FOR FOR THIS THIS AREA FOR THE NORTH END AREA. ALSO SOME STRATEGIES TO TO ACCOMPLISH A LOT OF THESE GOALS HERE, WHICH IS TO EXPAND HOUSING TYPES AND HOMEOWNERSHIP SUPPORT COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT THROUGHOUT THIS AREA, ALSO ENHANCE PARKS AND OPEN SPACE, NEIGHBORHOOD INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC SAFETY AND ALL THESE. AND SO IDENTIFIES OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE SAFETY, PROTECT HISTORIC RESOURCES, AND STRENGTHEN INFRASTRUCTURE IN THIS PART OF THE CITY AS WELL. 
          SO WHAT'S NEXT? THE SO SOME OF THE THE NEXT STEPS WITH AFTER THE WHEN YOU DO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE NEXT STEP IS TO IMPLEMENT IT. AND SO THE THERE IS A WHOLE IMPLEMENTATION CHAPTER ON THIS. BUT FROM A HIGH LEVEL STANDPOINT IT WOULD LIKELY INVOLVE UPDATING OUR DEVELOPMENT CODES TO MAKE SURE THAT EITHER REVIEWING OR UPDATING THEM AS NECESSARY TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE VISION THAT THE COMMUNITY HAS GIVEN US. AND SO WE ANTICIPATE TO TO GO THROUGH THAT PUBLIC PROCESS AS WELL. ALSO, SPECIFIC PROJECT FROM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT THAT MIGHT COME FROM THIS, THAT COULD BE CAPITAL PROJECTS OR OR OTHER STUDIES THAT ARE NECESSARY TO TO KIND OF GET INTO MORE DETAILS. AND THEN FINALLY, YOU KNOW, HOW WE EVALUATE THE PLAN, HOW WE COME BACK PERIODICALLY TO LOOK AT THE THE IMPLEMENTATION STATUS IN IS BUILT IN THERE TO TO COME BACK EVERY YEAR, GIVE A PRESENTATION ON ON HOW WE'VE IMPLEMENTED THE PLAN SO IT STAYS ACTIVE AND AND A LIVABLE OR, YOU KNOW, STAYS ALIVE ESSENTIALLY. AND THEN AND THEN FIVE YEAR ON IT SOME THE PROGRESS AND AND THEN MAYBE A LARGER EFFORT IN TEN YEARS TO 
          [00:25:02]
MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, AS THINGS CHANGE THAT WE ARE STILL ON TRACK. AND PROCEDURALLY, AS WE MENTIONED, THAT THIS IS THE THE FIRST OF TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS AND PRESENTATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR EVENTUAL ADOPTION OF OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. WE ARE MEETING WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR THEIR RECOMMENDATION NEXT WEEK, AND THEN MARCH 25TH WOULD BE THE NEXT DATE THAT WE MIGHT OR THAT WE WOULD DISCUSS THIS BEFORE CITY COUNCIL WITH THAT, STAFF WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND THAT THE CITY COUNCIL ACCEPT THIS PRESENTATION OF THE TYLER TOMORROW PLAN, AND ALSO GIVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ANY PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT. ANY QUESTIONS FOR FOR KYLE? HEATHER, WE ALSO HAVE DAVID JONES OUT HERE, OUR CONSULTANT. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE THREE OF THEM? KYLE, IF SOMEONE IN THE COMMUNITY WANTS TO STILL OFFER INPUT, WHAT'S THE BEST WAY FOR THEM TO DO THAT? YES, THEY IT'S MY NEXT SLIDE. ACTUALLY I FORGOT THAT. YES THEY CAN THEY CAN GO TO OUR OUR TYLER TOMORROW. COM WEBSITE. 
          THEY CAN GET TO IT THROUGH THIS QR CODE. THERE'S STILL THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEAVE COMMENTS ON ON THE WEBSITE. IF THEY WANT TO CONTACT THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT TO TO TALK TO US DIRECTLY, WE CAN. WE'LL BE AVAILABLE FOR THAT AS WELL. I ALSO WANT TO MENTION WE DID HAVE SOME AFTER WE HAD A NEW STORY YESTERDAY AND WE HAD, I THINK OVER 60 PEOPLE GO TO THE WEBSITE AFTER THAT. AND SO THERE'S THERE'S STILL SOME INTEREST IN THAT. AND AGAIN, SO WE, WE ANTICIPATE TO BE BACK HERE IN 30 DAYS. SO THERE'S STILL OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE ANY INPUT AND FEEDBACK THAT THE PUBLIC WANTS TO ANYONE ELSE. WE ARE GOING TO OPEN THIS UP INTO A PUBLIC HEARING. IF THERE'S ANYONE OUT THERE THAT WISHES TO COME UP AND SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, YOU'RE FREE TO COME UP AT THIS POINT. SAYING THAT NO ONE'S COMING UP. WE WILL CLOSE THE PART OF THE PUBLIC HEARING, AND I WILL JUST MAKE A COMMENT. YOU'RE RIGHT. THE TYLER FIRST IS BIG. IT'S 500 PAGES. IT'S A BINDER. THAT'S HUGE. AND THIS IS THINNER. BUT THE THING THAT'S SO EXCITING ABOUT THE TYLER FIRST IS WHEN I SAW THIS, AT FIRST I THOUGHT, THIS IS THIS IS JUST A BOOK. BUT THEN WHEN WE STARTED DOING THINGS IN THIS BOOK AND I JUST THROW OUT A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES WHEN WE STARTED THE BURKEVILLE PARK PROJECT BACK IN 2014 THAT WAS ENTITLED FIRST WORKING ON OUR PARKS WAS IN TYLER FIRST, AND NOW WE'VE WE'VE DONE BERGFELD SOUTHSIDE PARKS ALL OVER THE CITY. THIS WAS PART OF THE TYLER FIRST PROGRAM. NOW THAT WE'RE DOING THE DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION PROJECT, THAT WAS IN TYLER TYLER FIRST. THAT WAS PART OF THE PLAN THAT PEOPLE HAD A VISION 20 YEARS AGO. SO WHEN I SEE THIS PLAN HERE, THERE'S NOT A BIG SECTION ABOUT PARKS. THERE'S NOT A BIG SECTION ABOUT DOWNTOWN BECAUSE WE'RE DOING IT. THIS IS THE PLAN AND THE IDEAS AND THE VISION OF EVERYBODY IN THE COMMUNITY FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS. SO IN 20 YEARS, I'LL BE 68, 78, 80, I'LL BE 88, AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE A LOT OF THAT STUFF DONE THAT'S IN THIS NEW TYLER TOMORROW. SO THANK YOU ALL FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE AND AND APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. GOOD PRESENTATION. YES. ALRIGHT. OH 
          [O-1
 Request that the City Council consider adoption of an ordinance amending Tyler City Code Chapter 6 to make certain amendments to the 2023 Edition of the National Electrical Code regarding provisions related to ground-fault circuit-interrupter protection for personnel and certain specific appliances.]
ONE DAVID. DID YOU OPEN AND CLOSE? MR. GOOD MORNING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. GOOD MORNING. TODAY I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE 2023 NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE AMENDMENT IN SECTION TWO. 10.8 OF THE 23 NSC GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION FOR PERSONNEL LISTED CLASS A GFCI DEVICE SHALL PROVIDE PROTECTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH 210 A THROUGH F, GFCI SHALL BE INSTALLED IN READILY ACCESSIBLE AREAS. AND TODAY WHAT I WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT IS TWO 10.8 SECTION D, AND THAT IS MENTIONS THE SPECIFIC APPLIANCES THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SUPPLIED WITH A GFCI PROTECTION. YOU CAN SEE THERE'S THERE'S A LIST OF THEM THERE. SO WHAT I'M REALLY LOOKING AT TODAY IS AT THIS TIME BUILDING SERVICES PROPOSED RECOMMENDING TO REMOVE EIGHT, NINE, TEN AND 11, WHICH INCLUDES ELECTRIC RANGES, WALNUT WALL MOUNTED OVENS, COUNTER MOUNTED COOKING TOPS AND CLOTHES DRYERS. WE WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE THOSE FROM THE CHART. THE. THE RATIONALE FOR THESE RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING. THE APPLIANCE MANUFACTURER TESTING STANDARDS. THE ABOVE APPLIANCES ARE RIGOROUSLY TESTED TO EXISTING NFPA AND UL STANDARDS TO ENSURE SAFE OPERATION, WITHOUT 
          [00:30:01]
REQUIRING THE GFCI PROTECTION. FORCING GFCI REQUIREMENTS ON THEM MAY CREATE UNNECESSARY NUISANCE TRIPS WITHOUT PROVIDING ADDITIONAL SAFETY FEATURES. GFCI NUISANCE TRIPS ON HIGH CURRENT APPLIANCES, SUCH AS DRYERS AND COOKING UNITS, CAN CAUSE POWER INTERRUPTIONS THAT COMPROMISE FUNCTIONALITY, POSE FIRE SAFETY RISK, OR NEGATIVELY AFFECT BUSINESSES AND RESIDENTS. THIS CHART WAS MODIFIED IN THE 2023 NSC TO ADD THESE FOUR APPLIANCES THAT THEY HADN'T BEEN IN THE NSC REQUIREMENTS BEFORE THAT, AND WHEN WE DID ADOPT THE 2023 NSC, WE KNEW THERE WAS GOING TO BE SOME ISSUES. AND WE'RE HERE NOW BECAUSE A LOT OF OUR BUILDING CONTRACTORS ARE BUILDING COMMUNITY IS HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH THIS. SO THE BUILDING SERVICES DEPARTMENT AND TYLER FIRE MARSHAL'S OFFICE HAVE BOTH REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED ADOPTION OF THE AMENDMENT DESCRIBED. AND ON FEBRUARY THE 11TH OF 26, THE CONSTRUCTION BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND APPEALS MET TO DISCUSS THE PROPOSED 23 NSC AMENDMENTS. WE HAD A LENGTHY DISCUSSION THAT INCLUDED BOARD MEMBERS, STAFF, AND BUILDING CONTRACTORS AS WELL. BY A UNANIMOUS VOTE OF 6 TO 0, THE CBA RECOMMENDS THE AMENDMENT TO THIS SECTION AS WRITTEN, SO IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TYLER CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX BY AMENDING CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE 23 EDITION OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE RELATED TO GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION FOR PERSONNEL AND SPECIFIC APPLIANCES. AND THAT'S MY SPIEL THERE. LIKE I SAID BEFORE, WE HAVE HAD SOME ISSUES. WE WE HEARD FROM A LOT OF OUR BUILDING COMMUNITY THAT THESE ISSUES ARE CAUSING A BIG NUISANCE AND A CALLBACK ON SOME OF THE ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS. SOME OF THEM MENTIONED THAT, YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY MOVES INTO A NEW HOUSE, AND THE FIRST THING THAT HAPPENS IS, IS THEIR BREAKERS ARE TRIPPING IN. AND IT'S KIND OF, YOU KNOW, A REFLECTIVE ON MAYBE THE ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR OR THE BUILDING CONTRACTOR OR US. IT'S NOT REALLY NONE OF US. BUT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S KIND OF WHERE THE BALL FALLS. SO THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE'RE AT ON THIS PART OF IT HERE. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS FOR DAVID? DAVID, HOW WILL YOU GET THE WORD OUT TO THE BUILDING COMMUNITY THAT THESE ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED? WE WILL SEND OUT AN EMAILS. OF COURSE. WE'RE IN DIRECT CONTACT ALL THE TIME WITH THE BUILDING COMMUNITY. MISTER MOSAIC IS HERE. HE HE'S HE'S A BIG, VALUABLE TOOL FOR ME AND MY TEAM AS FAR AS DEALING WITH THEM. HE'S HE'S IN THE DEVELOPMENT BUILDING COMMUNITY. HE HE IS REALLY HELPFUL IN GETTING THAT DONE. SO WE WE WILL DEFINITELY BE IN CONTACT WITH ALL OF THEM, ALL OF OUR BUILDING CONTRACTORS, A LOT OF THEM HAVE CONTACTED ME FIRST, YOU KNOW, WANTING TO KNOW ABOUT THIS. SO IT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING WITH ALL OF OUR BUILDING COMMUNITIES. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU MOVE TO APPROVE? OH ONE I'M SORRY, DID YOU? DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? I GOT A MOTION A SECOND, SECOND, GOT A MOTION BY CURTIS, SECOND BY WIN. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. 
          OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU ALL. AND I'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK SAM PERSONALLY HERE IN FOR HELPING ALL THE HELP THAT HE'S DONE FOR US AND, AND WHAT HE DOES IN OUR COMMUNITY AS FAR AS OUR BUILDING COMMUNITY. SO I'D JUST LIKE TO POINT OUT AND THANK SAM PERSONALLY FOR IT. 
          HE'S A PRETTY GOOD GUY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU SAM. ALRIGHT M1 KATE. GOOD MAYOR, 
          [M-1

IT COMBINES COMMUNITY INPUT, TECHNICAL ANALYSIS AND CITY PRIORITIES INTO ONE COHESIVE, COHESIVE GUIDING DOCUMENT. SO THE FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND WATER RESOURCES PORTION OF IT FOCUS 
          [00:35:04]
ON PROTECTING LAKE LAKE TYLER'S WATER QUALITY AND STRENGTHENING LONG TERM WATERSHED HEALTH. IT INCLUDES IMPROVING STORMWATER AND EROSION CONTROL TO REDUCE SEDIMENT ENTERING THE LAKE, AND STABILIZING VULNERABLE SHORELINES BOTH NATURALLY AND STRUCTURALLY. IT ALSO EMPHASIZES STRONGER POLLUTION PREVENTION PRACTICES AND MORE SAFEGUARDS TO OUR DRINKING WATER SUPPLY, PRIORITIZING KEY UPGRADES LIKE STORM STORMWATER IMPROVEMENTS AND TARGETED SEWER EXTENSIONS. AND FINALLY, THERE IS ENHANCED MONITORING AND COMPLIANCE. THIS RECOMMENDED THAT WILL ENSURE THAT WE TRACK CONDITIONS EFFECTIVELY AT THE LAKE AND MAINTAIN A RESILIENT, SUSTAINABLE LAKE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE FUTURE. THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE RECREATION AND TOURISM PORTION OF THE PLAN FOCUS ON ENHANCING THE VISITOR EXPERIENCE WHILE BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FINANCIAL MODEL FOR LAKE TYLER. THIS INCLUDES IDENTIFYING NEW REVENUE OPPORTUNITIES AND ALIGNING COSTS SO THE CITY CAN SUPPORT LONG TERM OPERATIONS RESPONSIBLY. THE PLAN CALLS FOR ADDING NEW TRAILS AND IMPROVING ACCESS POINTS AROUND THE LAKE, CALLS FOR IMPROVED SAFETY THROUGH INCREASED PATROL PRESENCE AND CLEARER SIGNAGE. 
          THERE ARE ALSO FACILITY UPGRADES MENTIONED, INCLUDING ADDITIONAL RESTROOMS AND IMPROVED AMENITIES WHICH WILL ENHANCE OVERALL VISITOR USE AND COMFORT. SO PUBLIC FEEDBACK. 
          THERE WERE MANY DIFFERENT ITERATIONS OF PUBLIC FEEDBACK THROUGHOUT THIS. AT THE BEGINNING, THERE WERE MULTIPLE STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS TO ENSURE THAT ALL STAKEHOLDERS HAD THEIR ISSUES BROUGHT TO THE TO THE FOREFRONT. WE ALSO HAD A PUBLIC MEETING AT THE BOULDERS ON OCTOBER 8TH, WHICH WAS A GOOD DISCUSSION. THE DRAFT PLAN WAS COMMUNICATED TO THE PUBLIC AT THAT MEETING AND THEN AGAIN HALF PRESENTED IT LAST TIME OR NOT. LAST TIME, TWO MEETINGS AGO TO YOU ALL, THE CITY COUNCIL. AND WE ALSO INCLUDED THE PUBLIC FEEDBACK FROM THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND ONLINE SUBMISSIONS. THEY WERE REVIEWED AND INCORPORATED INTO THE FINAL LAKE TYLER MASTER PLAN, ENSURING THAT THE DOCUMENT REFLECTS THE COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS IN LINE WITH THE CITY'S LONG TERM VISION FOR LAKE TYLER AND LAKE TYLER EAST, AND ALL OF THE COMMENTS ARE INDEXED AND ADDRESSED IN APPENDIX C OF THE FINAL MASTER PLAN. SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THAT MOST CURRENT PUBLIC FEEDBACK WE RECEIVED. TOP PRIORITIES, OF COURSE, WERE WATER QUALITY AS A PRIMARY LAKE FUNCTION, PROTECTING THAT, IMPROVING TRANSPARENCY, ADDRESSING FINANCIAL EQUITY FOR LEASEHOLDERS. SOME OF THE KEY INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS WERE RESTROOMS AT BOAT RAMPS, SAFETY, THE SAFETY PROTOCOL, SAFETY PATROL, EXCUSE ME AND ENFORCEMENT. AND SOME OF THE FOCUS WAS ON DIVERSIFIED REVENUE MODELS, WHICH WAS HANDLED IN THE PLAN. AND THAT WAS TO IMPROVE FINANCIAL EQUITY BY SPREADING COSTS AMONG LEASEHOLDERS, VISITORS AND THE COMMUNITY. DISCUSSION OF FUNDING STRATEGIES AND DIFFERENT FEE STRUCTURES. AND WE DO WANT INCLUSIVE ENGAGEMENT, AND WE'VE HAD IT THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND WE WANT TO CONTINUE IT MOVING FORWARD. WE HOW THERE WAS DISCUSSION OF THE LAKE TYLER ADVISORY GROUP. HOWEVER, IN DISCUSSIONS WITH CITY LEADERSHIP AND THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT, WE CAN'T COMMIT TO ESTABLISHING A LAKE TYLER ADVISORY GROUP, THE CITY COUNCIL. YOU ARE THE GOVERNING AND ADVISORY AUTHORITY FOR LAKE TYLER UNDER OUR CITY CHARTER. AND THERE WAS ALSO DISCUSSION THAT HAVING A SMALLER PANEL OF INDIVIDUALS, HOW DO WE MAKE THAT FAIR? WE COULD EXCLUDE CERTAIN VOICES AND WE DIDN'T WANT THAT TO THAT TO HAPPEN. SO AGAIN, WE ARE COMMITTED TO INCLUSIVE ENGAGEMENT AND THE TWO AVENUES WE PLAN TO MOVE FORWARD WITH ARE ANNUAL COMMUNITY MEETINGS, WHICH WOULD PULL ALL OF EVERYONE FROM LAKE TYLER AND ANYBODY WHO'S INTERESTED IN LAKE TYLER TO COME OUT. WE CAN TALK ABOUT DIFFERENT PROJECTS THAT ARE ONGOING AND WHAT OUR PLANS ARE FROM THIS GUIDING DOCUMENT. AND ALSO WHEN WE DO MOVE FORWARD WITH A PROJECT THAT'S LINED OUT IN THE MASTER PLAN, WE PLAN TO HAVE SOME PROJECTS, SPECIFIC FOCUS GROUPS THAT TAKE THOSE STAKEHOLDERS INTO ACCOUNT WHILE WE ARE DETERMINING WHERE TO MOVE FORWARD. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE A LAKE TYLER MASTER PLAN WEB PAGE THAT HAS ACTUALLY GAINED A LOT OF TRACTION THROUGHOUT THIS, THIS WHOLE PROCESS, BECAUSE THAT HAS TURNED OUT TO BE A REALLY GOOD WAY OF GETTING FEEDBACK FROM PEOPLE THAT HAD BEEN. WE'VE BEEN SENDING OUT NEWSLETTERS THROUGHOUT THE MASTER PLAN PROCESS, AND THAT'S DEDICATED TO LAKE TYLER, MASTER PLAN COMMUNICATION. MOVING FORWARD. WE'RE TRANSITIONING THAT WEBSITE. SINCE MOST PEOPLE SIGNED UP AT THAT WEBSITE, IT WILL BE LIKE OUR LAKE TYLER WEBSITE, OUR HUB FOR ANY COMMUNICATION, ANY DIALOG THAT NEEDS TO GO ON ABOUT LAKE TYLER AND ANYBODY WHO'S WHO'S INTERESTED IN IN TALKING ABOUT LAKE TYLER. SO IN SUMMARY, THE MASTER PLAN SAFEGUARDS THE CITY'S WATER SUPPLY. IT PROMOTES SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND LAKE 
          [00:40:02]
STEWARDSHIP, ENHANCES COMMUNITY RECREATION, TOURISM AND VALUE ALIGNS KEY ALIGNS CITY FUNDING WITH KEY PRIORITIES, INCORPORATES COMMUNITY AND STAKEHOLDER FEEDBACK, AND ESTABLISHES A CLEAR IMPLEMENTATION ROADMAP AND A GUIDE FOR US MOVING FORWARD. SO WITH ALL THAT, I DO REQUEST THAT THE CITY COUNCIL REVIEW THE 2026 LAKE TYLER MASTER PLAN PREPARED BY HALF ASSOCIATES AND CONSIDER ITS ADOPTION. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR KATE? OKAY, WHAT'S THE WILL OF THE COUNCIL? MOVE TO APPROVE ANYONE? SECOND YEAH THAT WAS THAT WAS LATE I KNOW RIGHT I GOTTA I GOTTA MOTION BY CURTIS SECOND BY HANEY. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES. ALL RIGHT. ONWARD ON TO M2 AND M3. YOU GET ME AGAIN. SO I'M GOING TO PRESENT THESE TWO AT THE SAME TIME. THERE 
          [M-2
 Request that the City Council consider authorizing the City Manager to approve Change Order #1 with Gracon Construction, Inc., that will increase the contract amount by $1,066,538.80 for the Golden Road Water Treatment Plant Filters 11-14 Rehabilitation Project for work related to the emergency repairs at the Lake Palestine Water Treatment Plant.]
          [M-3
 Request that the City Council consider authorizing the City Manager to execute Change Order #1 and Change Order #2, in the amount $3,194,800.00, with Gracon Construction, Inc. for the Southside Wastewater Treatment Plant Aeration Basin and Final Clarifier Improvements Project for work related to the emergency repairs at the Lake Palestine Water Treatment Plant.]
WILL BE TWO SEPARATE RECOMMENDATIONS BECAUSE IT'S ON DIFFERENT CONTRACTS. BUT I'LL WALK YOU THROUGH THAT. M2 AND M3 ARE BOTH RELATED TO CHANGE ORDERS TO CURRENT CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS, BUT IT'S RELATED TO THE EMERGENCY REPAIRS TO THE FILTERS AT LAKE PALESTINE WATER TREATMENT PLANT. I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT AND I'VE GIVEN YOU INFORMATION ABOUT IT, BUT I THOUGHT PRETTY MUCH FOR THE EDIFICATION OF EVERYONE, IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO LOOK AT A FILTER. SO WHEN I'M SAYING UNDERDRAIN OR FILTER MEDIA, YOU'LL KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. SO THIS IS JUST A BASIC SCHEMATIC OF A WATER TREATMENT PLANT FILTER. WHAT DOES THE FILTER AT LAKE PALESTINE DO? AND PRETTY MUCH EVERY OTHER WATER TREATMENT PLANT. IT'S THE LAST TREATMENT STEP. IT'S THE WORKHORSE OF THE PLANT BEFORE WATER IS SENT OUT INTO THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM. SO WHAT IT DOES IS AFTER SEDIMENTATION, THE SEDIMENTATION, IT WILL REMOVE ANY PARTICLES THAT DIDN'T GET CAUGHT IN SEDIMENTATION. SO LET'S SEE IF I CAN GET THIS TO WORK. SO THE WATER THE SETTLED WATER COMES INTO THE FILTER. AS I SAID, IT'S A GRAVITY FILTER. SO IT FLOWS DOWN THROUGH THE FILTER MEDIA, THROUGH THE SAND, AND THEN MIGRATES INTO THE UNDERDRAIN. AND FROM THE UNDERDRAIN WE'RE ABLE TO HAVE FILTERED WATER COME OUT THROUGH THE OUTLET. NOW, WHAT'S KEY HERE WITH THE UNDERDRAIN AND WHAT'S CRITICAL IS THE UNDERDRAIN ALLOWS US TO, ONCE THIS FILTER MEDIA GETS SPENT WHERE WE THE HEAD LOSS IS TOO HIGH, WE NEED TO BACKWASH IT. WE NEED TO CLEAN THE FILTER MEDIA SO THE UNDERDRAIN ALLOWS US TO IN THE FILTER GALLERY, WHICH I'LL TALK ABOUT AS WELL, WHICH IS OVER HERE, LOTS AND LOTS OF VALVES AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT. IT ALLOWS US TO REVERSE FLOW BACK UP THROUGH THE FILTER, AND THEN IT WASHES THE MEDIA SO THAT WE CAN THEN PUT THE FILTER BACK INTO SERVICE AND CONTINUE PRODUCING FILTERED WATER. SO AS FAR AS A TIMELINE OF THE EVENTS IN JULY, OPERATORS NOTICED THAT THERE WAS WATER IN THE AIR SCOUR LINE AT LAKE PALESTINE. WE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN WORKING WITH KSA TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. IN AUGUST, FILTER NUMBER FIVE EXPERIENCED AN UNDERDRAIN FAILURE. SO WE ARE ALREADY WORKING WITH KSA, BUT WE WE BROUGHT RAKON ON BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE WHO WE WOULD NORMALLY CONTACT FOR AN EMERGENCY REPAIR AT THE PLANT, AND WE KNEW WE NEEDED TO ADDRESS IT ASAP BECAUSE BASED UPON PREVIOUS PROJECTS, SPECIFICALLY OVER AT GOLDEN ROAD FILTER, UNDERDRAIN REPLACEMENT CAN TAKE AT LEAST SIX MONTHS. SO THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WHERE WE HAVE IT BREAK. WE CAN FIX IT RIGHT AWAY. SO WE GOT BREAK ON ON BOARD, AND THEY HAPPEN TO BE WORKING ON TWO OF OUR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS RIGHT NOW. ONE AT GOLDEN ROAD, THE FILTER PROJECT OVER AT GOLDEN ROAD. AND THEN THEY'RE ALSO WORKING AT THE SOUTH SIDE AERATION BASIN PROJECT AT OUR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT. SO THEN IN SEPTEMBER, ANOTHER SINKHOLE WAS DISCOVERED, WHICH WAS ANOTHER UNDERDRAIN FAILURE. SO NOW WE HAVE TWO FILTERS THAT ARE OUT OF SERVICE, BECAUSE ONCE WE'VE HAD THAT UNDERDRAIN FAILURE, WE CAN NO LONGER OPERATE THAT FILTER AND KEEP PRODUCING FILTERED WATER. SO WE HAD BEEN IN DISCUSSIONS WITH XYLEM. THEY ARE THE UNDERDRAIN MANUFACTURER AND FILTER MANUFACTURER, FILTER MEDIA MANUFACTURER. THEY CAME OUT AND INSPECTED THOSE TWO THAT WERE OFFLINE. THEY CAME OUT AND DID A THOROUGH INSPECTION. THOSE PICTURES YOU SEE ON THE RIGHT OF THE SLIDE, THOSE ARE ALL FROM THAT INSPECTION REPORT. YOU CAN SEE LIFTED, LIFTED LATERALS OF THE UNDERDRAIN MEDIA HAD MIGRATED DOWN INTO THE UNDERDRAIN. THERE WERE DEFINITE ISSUES WITH SOME OF THE RIBS HAD SPLIT. THE UNDERDRAINS WERE NOT SOMETHING THAT WE COULD DO WHERE WE COULD REPLACE LIKE SPOT REPAIR IT. IT HAD MIGRATED TO WHERE THE ENTIRE FILTER UNDERDRAIN WAS GOING TO BE OUT OF COMMISSION. 
          SO WE NEEDED TO REPLACE THAT. AND SO AFTER THEIR ANALYSIS AND DETERMINING DOING THEIR INSPECTION, THEY DETERMINED THAT THE FILTERS HAD EXCEEDED THEIR EXPECTED EXPECTED SERVICE 
          [00:45:02]
LIFE, WHICH IS 20 YEARS, AND THAT THEY NEEDED TO BE REHABILITATED, AND THAT IT WAS POSSIBLE THAT WE WOULD SEE THIS HAPPENING THROUGH OTHER FILTERS IF WE WERE NOT CAREFUL. 
          THROUGHOUT THE OTHER FILTERS AT THE PLANT. SO THEN ON OCTOBER 9TH, THE LAKE PALESTINE WATER TREATMENT PLANT PIPE GALLERY FLOODED. THAT'S THE PIPE GALLERY PICTURE THERE ON THE RIGHT. THE PIPE GALLERY HOUSES MANY, MANY VERY, VERY IMPORTANT VALVES, LOTS OF ELECTRONICS, ACTUATORS. SO IT WAS CRITICAL WE TAKE THE PLANT OFFLINE SO AS NOT TO LOSE ALL OF THAT EQUIPMENT. AND WHEN WE DID THAT, WE STILL WERE IN SUCH A HIGH DEMAND PORTION EVEN IN OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR, IF YOU REMEMBER, IT WAS QUITE WARM AND DRY THAT WE HAD TO ENACT EMERGENCY WATER RESTRICTIONS. WE GOT GREAT CON OUT THERE TO HELP US PUMP IT DOWN. WE BROUGHT ENGINEERS AND OURSELVES. WE WENT IN TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FLOODING, AND REALLY THE CAUSE WAS A COMBINATION OF THE FAILED EQUIPMENT, THE AIR SCOUR VALVES NOT WORKING, FAILED BACKWASH VALVES THAT WERE LEAKING BY, AND THE TWO FAILED UNDERDRAINS. SO WE WERE ABLE TO PUT THE PLANT BACK ONLINE AT EIGHT MGD. SO WE WERE BABYING THE FILTERS TO ENSURE THAT WE COULD CONTINUE SUPPLYING THE CITY OF TYLER WITH SUFFICIENT WATER TO MEET MEET THE DEMANDS. 
          OBVIOUSLY THE RESTRICTIONS WERE VERY HELPFUL FOR THAT. SO AT EIGHT MGD AS JUST A COMPARISON, WE USUALLY CAN OPERATE THESE FILTERS AT 30 MGD. SO WE REALLY, FOR LACK OF TECHNICAL TERM, WE WERE BABYING THEM TO ENSURE THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY MORE OF THESE THESE UNDERDRAIN FAILURES OCCURRING BECAUSE THAT THAT WOULD NOT BE A GOOD SITUATION. SO AND I ALSO WANT TO NOTE THAT THE PLANT CAN'T MEET FULL CAPACITY UNTIL THOSE AIR SCOUR VALVES AND FAILED UNDERDRAINS ARE REPAIRED. SO NOW GO THROUGH THE SCOPE AND TELL YOU ABOUT THE TIMELINE HERE OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING. SO THE THREE CHANGE ORDERS THAT I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO AUTHORIZE TODAY FOR THE GOLDEN ROAD WATER TREATMENT PLANT IS WORKING ON THAT PROJECT. THAT CHANGE ORDER IS TO REHAB FILTERS TWO AND FIVE. THOSE ARE THE TWO FILTERS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN COMPLETELY COMPROMISED. AND WE ARE WE CAN'T USE THAT. ALSO REPLACES EIGHT AIR SCOUR VALVES AND SOME MUD. WELL, REHAB AS WELL. AND THEN THE OTHER TWO, THAT'S AT A COST OF $1 MILLION. AND THEN FOR THE SOUTH SIDE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT PROJECT CHANGE ORDER ONE ON THAT IS REHAB OF THE REMAINING FILTERS. THE COST OF THAT IS 2.1 MILLION. AND CHANGE ORDER TWO IS REPLACING TEN VARIOUS SIZE VALVES AND ACTUATORS. WE'VE GOT 30 INCH BACKWASH VALVES, EIGHT OF THEM 12 12 INCH FILTER TO EFFLUENT VALVES AND ACTUATORS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED. AND THAT IS 1 MILLION. SO THE TOTAL COST OF THESE CHANGE ORDERS IS 4.2 MILLION. THE TIMELINE FOR GRAY CON IS WE ORDERED THOSE UNDERDRAINS AND MATERIALS BACK IN SEPTEMBER. WE SHOULD BE RECEIVING THAT. WE ARE STILL ON TRACK TO RECEIVE IT AT THE BEGINNING OF MARCH MID MARCH, SO WE WILL HAVE GREAT CON IS GOING TO WORK SIMULTANEOUSLY ON FILTERS TWO AND FIVE. SO THEY HAVE COMMITTED TO HAVING A CREW ON TWO AND A CREW ON FIVE AT THE SAME TIME. TO BE WORKING ON THOSE, IT SHOULD TAKE ABOUT A MONTH TO GET THOSE BACK UP AND RUNNING, AND THEN ONCE WE COMPLETE THOSE TWO, WE WILL MOVE DOWN THE LINE AND GET ONE FILTER DONE PER MONTH TO ENSURE THAT WE CAN MEET DEMAND THROUGHOUT OUR HIGH SEASON. SO ALL OF THE FILTERS SHOULD BE COMPLETE BY OCTOBER OF 2026. SO I HAVE TWO RECOMMENDATIONS HERE, ONE ON M1 AND ONE ON M2. SO THIS FIRST ONE IS FOR THE CHANGE ORDER WITH GRAY CON FOR THE GOLDEN ROAD CONTRACT. SO I RECOMMEND THE CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO APPROVE CHANGE ORDER ONE WITH GRAY CON. THAT WILL INCREASE THE CONTRACT AMOUNT BY $1,066,538.80 FOR THE GOLDEN ROAD WATER TREATMENT PLANT FILTERS 11 THROUGH 14 REHABILITATION PROJECT FOR WORK RELATED TO THE EMERGENCY REPAIRS AT THE LAKE PALESTINE WATER TREATMENT PLANT. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS FOR KATE ON M2 OR M3? OKAY, KATE, YOU USE THE WORD REHABILITATION BUT WE'RE ORDERING NEW FILTERS. IS IT JUST IS IT JUST IT'S SO WE'RE JUST DOING WORK ON THE FILTER SYSTEM. PRETTY MUCH. SO WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE ARE ALL THE MEDIA, ALL THE SAND. 
          EVERYTHING GETS TAKEN OUT, INCLUDING THOSE UNDERDRAINS. AND THEN YOU LEVEL OUT THE SLAB, YOU GET THE NEW UNDERDRAINS INSTALLED. AND SO IT IS, IT'S A COMPLETE REWORK AS WELL AS QUITE A FEW OF THE VALVES ARE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED IN THE FILTER GALLERY BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN LEAKING BY WHICH WHICH MAKES SENSE WITH WHEN MOVING FORWARD WITH THE WITH THE FILTER REPLACEMENT. IT'S BASED OFF THAT SCHEDULE. EVERYTHING GOES WELL. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE AT 100% OUT THERE UNTIL OCTOBER OCTOBER, RIGHT. WE WON'T BE AT 100%, BUT 
          [00:50:01]
ONCE WE HAVE TWO AND FIVE BACK ONLINE FILTERS THAT WE CAN PUSH, LIKE WE WOULD TYPICALLY PUSH. 
          AND THEN WITH THE ADDITION OF THE OTHER FILTERS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE ONE THAT WILL BE OUT, WHICH WE WILL DO, WE WILL HAVE WE SHOULD HAVE SUFFICIENT AND IT SHOULD NOT BE A CONCERN THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO MEET DEMANDS, ESPECIALLY ONCE WE GET THOSE TWO AND FIVE BACK ONLINE. WE'VE BEEN WORKING VERY HARD TO LOOK AT HOW ALL THE DIFFERENT SCENARIOS AND THIS IS THIS IS THE BEST WAY WHEN YOU SAY MEET DEMAND, WHAT WILL CAPACITY BE EXPECTED TO RISE TO AS WE APPROACH THE SUMMER. SO. SO CAPACITY FOR THE PLANT OR WHAT THE DEMANDS MIGHT LAKE TYLER TREATMENT FACILITY. SO YOU SAID WE'RE CURRENTLY AT 8 MILLION. YEAH. WE'RE CURRENTLY AS WE PROGRESS WILL WE GET UP TO AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE FALL. WE SHOULD ONCE WE HAVE TWO AND FIVE BACK ONLINE, THAT'S A FOUR. WE PROBABLY SHOULD BE AROUND 16 MGD. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, IT GETS WORSE. THE DEMAND GETS HIGHER AND HIGHER AS WE GO THROUGH THE SUMMER. AND THEN AS WE GET ANOTHER ADDITIONAL FILTER ON, BASICALLY WE'RE GAINING 2 MILLION GALLONS A DAY AS WE GET ANOTHER FILTER ON. BUT THOSE FIRST TWO WERE GAINING NEARLY EIGHT MGD JUST FROM THOSE TWO FILTERS BEING REHABBED. OKAY. AND THAT'LL BE DONE THIS SPRING. YES. YEAH. 
          THOSE SHOULD BE COMPLETE IN APRIL. YES. OKAY. GREAT. CON SAID THAT FILTERS HAD EXCEEDED THEIR LIFE. YEAH. HOW LONG HAVE THEY BEEN IN PLACE. AND NOW DO WE HAVE A SCHEDULE. WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT OUR FILTERS MOVING FORWARD OKAY. THIS FILTER IS SIX YEARS OLD. WE NEED TO LOOK AT A REPLACEMENT OR REHABILITATION. RIGHT. SO IN ALL ACTUALITY WE HAVE BEEN WORKING THROUGH AND YOU'VE THE GOLDEN ROAD FILTERS BECAUSE THOSE FILTERS ARE MUCH OLDER THAN THESE LAKE PALESTINE FILTERS. BUT I DON'T KNOW I HATE TO USE THIS CLICHE, BUT THEY DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THEY USED TO. THESE FILTERS WERE INSTALLED WITH THE PLANT BACK IN 2001, AND SO WE JUST HIT THAT MARK, WHICH I WOULD SAY IS NOT TYPICAL. BUT WE HAVE SEEN IN OTHER COMMUNITIES, I THINK NACOGDOCHES HAS GONE THROUGH THE SAME THING WHERE THESE UNDERDRAINS HAD STARTED FAILING, BUT SO INITIALLY WHEN TWO AND FIVE FAILED, WE SAID WE NEED TO ENACT A PLAN TO INCLUDE THIS IN OUR CIP MOVING FORWARD. BUT ONCE WE GOT THAT REPORT FROM XYLEM, PRETTY MUCH SAYING, WE CAN'T GUARANTEE YOU THAT THIS ISN'T GOING TO CONTINUE HAPPENING AS WE GO THROUGH THIS, WE KIND OF HAD TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE THE RISK AND MOVE FORWARD, BECAUSE THE OUR MOST IMPORTANT GOAL IS TO ENSURE THAT THE CITY OF TYLER HAS HAS PLENTY OF WATER AND WE CAN MEET THEIR DEMAND. AND WE DIDN'T WANT TO BE IN A SITUATION. BUT YES, MOVING FORWARD, THESE PROACTIVE REPLACEMENTS ARE ALWAYS THE KEY AND ALWAYS WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO. YEAH, IT'S JUST MONEY. I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE IT'S JUST MONEY. I'M IT'S A LOT OF MONEY. 
          IT'S FUNDING. FUNDING IS ALWAYS SOMETIMES. BUT WE RUN A BIGGER RISK IF WE DON'T DO ANYTHING. 
          EXACTLY. YES. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. MOVE TO APPROVE HIM TO SECOND IN IN THREE. WE'RE DOING SEPARATE OR. YES. NO. SEPARATE. OKAY. GOT A MOTION BY KURTIS. SECOND BY HOPKINS. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES IN THREE. OKAY. ON M3, THE RECOMMENDATION HERE IS THAT CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZED THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE CHANGE ORDERS NUMBER ONE AND TWO, IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,194,800, WITH GREAT CON CONSTRUCTION FOR THE SOUTH SIDE WASTEWATER TREATMENT, PLANT AERATION AND FINAL CLARIFIER IMPROVEMENTS. PROJECT FOR WORK RELATED TO THE EMERGENCY REPAIRS OF THE LAKE PALESTINE WATER TREATMENT PLANT. 
          BENEFIT APPROVED EMPLOYEES GOT A MOTION BY CURTIS, SECOND BY HOPKINS. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. THANKS, KATE. THANK YOU. LAUREN. GOOD 
          [M-4
 Request that the City Council review and consider accepting the Revenue and Expenditure Report for the period ending December 31, 2025.   ]
MORNING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MORNING, JUSTICE. THE CONTROLLER. I'M HERE TO. I'M HERE TO PRESENT THE REVENUE EXPENDITURE REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2526. FOR QUARTER ONE. 
          THIS IS PERIOD ENDING DECEMBER 31ST, 2025. SO IN THE REPORT, IT COMPARES ACTUAL REVENUES AND EXPENSES TO DATE WITH FIGURES OF THE SAME PERIOD LAST YEAR. AND IN THIS PRESENTATION AND ALSO IN THE REPORT, WE COMPARE THE BUDGETED REVENUE AND EXPENDITURES FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR COMPARED TO THE CURRENT PROJECTIONS. AND THIS REPORT REPRESENTS MOST OF OUR MAJOR 
          [00:55:01]
FUNDS FOR THE GENERAL FUND. OUR REVENUES ARE PROJECTED TO BE 306,000 BELOW BUDGET. THIS IS PRIMARILY DUE TO LOWER INVESTMENT INTEREST RATES AND CURRENTLY OUR SALES TAX BEING PRETTY MUCH FLAT. THE TOTAL EXPENDITURES ARE PROJECTED TO BE 1.5 MILLION BELOW BUDGET, AND THIS IS WITH A SAVINGS FORECASTED IN GENERAL. GOVERNMENT AND POLICE AND FIRE. 
          SOME OF OUR UPDATES ON OUR MAJOR BUDGETED HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE GENERAL FUND. WE DID MAKE OUR FIRST LEASE PAYMENT FOR OUR FIRE TRUCKS THAT WE ORDERED LAST YEAR. THERE'S STILL A 36 MONTH WAIT, SO WE DON'T HAVE THE FIRE TRUCK IN THE LADDER TRUCK YET YET. BUT WE DID MAKE OUR FIRST LEASE PAYMENT. WE ARE ALSO ON YEAR FOUR OF THE AXON EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT SUBSCRIPTION. THIS IS FOR THE TASER AND THE BODY CAMERAS FOR PD ON CODE ENFORCEMENT FOR THE DEMOLITION OF SUBSTANDARD STRUCTURES. WE HAVE COMPLETED ONE DEMOLITION AND WE HAVE FOUR THAT ARE GETTING READY TO BE DEMOLISHED FOR THE KENNEL UPGRADES AT ANIMAL SERVICES. 
          THIS THIS IS OUR PHASE TWO. WE HAVE PURCHASED THE KENNELS AND WE'RE WAITING ON BIDS FOR INSTALLATION. FOR THE STREETS AND TRAFFIC OPERATIONS. WE HAVE ORDERED THE 12 YARD DUMP TRUCK. 
          IT'S ESTIMATED TO BE DELIVERED IN MAY. WE ARE ALSO ESTIMATING TO MOVE THE BUILDING FROM THE OLD FAIRGROUNDS TO STREETS AND TRAFFIC IN MAY ALSO, AND WE HAVE ALSO INCREASED OUR TRAFFIC SIGNAL MAINTENANCE FUND, AND THIS WILL BE ONGOING THROUGHOUT THE YEAR FOR OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS. FOR STREETS. WE HAVE BRICK STREETS, REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE. WE ROLLED SOME OF THIS FROM LAST FISCAL YEAR, AND THE PROJECT IS CURRENTLY ESTIMATED TO BE COMPLETED IN JUNE, AND WE ARE AT 43%. THE STREETS SEALCOAT PROJECT. THIS IS IN THE DEVELOPMENT PHASE AND ESTIMATED TO BE PRESENTED TO COUNCIL IN APRIL, AND THEN FOR PUBLIC ALLEY REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE. THIS IS ALSO IN THE DEVELOPMENT PHASE AND SCHEDULED FOR COUNCIL PRESENTATION ALSO IN APRIL FOR THE WATER UTILITY FUNDS WERE EXPECTED TO COME IN 776,000 ABOVE BUDGET. THIS IS PRIMARILY DUE TO INCREASES IN METER ACTIVATIONS, WATER SERVICE AND SEWER SERVICE. OUR TOTAL EXPENDITURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE 52,000 MORE THAN BUDGET, REFLECTING A MINIMAL VARIANCE. SOME A FEW WATER UTILITY BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS. WE DID ROLL OUT THE NEW DESIGN ON FEBRUARY 1ST. THERE HAVE BEEN MINIMAL CUSTOMER REVIEWS, BUT OVERALL CHRIS HAS SAID THAT THEY HAVE BEEN POSITIVE AND THE BILL HAS A CLEAR PICTURE OF WHAT THEY'RE PAYING FOR AND WHAT THE CHARGES REPRESENT. SO THERE HAVE BEEN LESS QUESTIONS ON THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT SIDE FOR WATER DISTRIBUTION. WE'RE STILL WORKING ON METER AND METER BOXES AND SERVICE LINES FOR WATER TREATMENT. WE HAVE THE TASTE AND ODOR ENGINEERING AND GATE REPLACEMENT AT LAKE PALESTINE, AND THE EXTENSION OF HIGHWAY 271 AND FM 14. 
          ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION FOR WASTEWATER COLLECTION. WE ALSO HAVE EXTENSIONS OF FM 14, THE BASS PRO WAY, AND RELOCATE FM 756 FOR THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT, WHICH KATE JUST PRESENTED ON. SOME OF THAT ALSO IS THE WASTEWATER PHASE ONE ENGINEERING AND THE WEST SIDE PHASE ONE ENGINEERING. THE WEST SIDE SECONDARY CLARIFIER REHABILITATION AND THE SOUTH SIDE AERATION BASIN ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION. AND THEN FOR LAKE TYLER WE HAVE THE BOATHOUSE INSPECTIONS, WHICH THEY'RE STILL IN THE PLANNING PHASES. AND KATE JUST MENTIONED, KATE JUST PRESENTED THE MASTER PLAN. FOR THE SOLID WASTE. WE ARE PROJECTED TO COME IN 77,000 LOWER THAN BUDGET ON OUR REVENUES, WHICH IS A MINIMAL VARIANCE. AND THEN WE ARE EXPECTED TO COME IN 26,810 MORE THAN BUDGET ON OUR EXPENDITURES FOR OUR AIRPORT FUND. WE OUR REVENUES ARE EXPECTED TO COME IN AT 12,000 HIGHER THAN BUDGET, AND OUR EXPENDITURES ARE EXPECTED TO COME IN AROUND 32,000. LESS THAN BUDGET FOR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. OUR REVENUES ARE EXPECTED TO BE 103,000 HIGHER THAN BUDGET, AND OUR EXPENDITURES ARE EXPECTED TO COME IN AT 82,000 LESS THAN BUDGET FOR THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES BUDGET. HIGHLIGHTS. WE HEARD FROM HEATHER AND KYLE EARLIER ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND WHERE WE ARE ON THAT. 
          AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE THE HISTORIC RESOURCE SURVEY, WHICH IS A GRANT WHICH WILL REVIEW 
          [01:00:03]
HISTORIC RESOURCES AROUND THE TEXAS COLLEGE AREA AND NEARBY NEIGHBORHOODS. AND THEY'RE EXPECTED TO COMPLETE THAT BY THE END OF FISCAL YEAR 26 FOR OUR HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX FUND, REVENUES ARE EXPECTED TO BE 134,000 LESS THAN BUDGET, ALTHOUGH WE ARE RECEIVING MORE OUR OCCUPANCY. OCCUPANCY IS HIGHER THAN LAST FISCAL YEAR. WE JUST BUDGETED ABOUT A 3% INCREASE, AND WE'RE COMING IN BETWEEN 1 AND 2% HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR, BUT STILL LESS THAN WHAT WE BUDGETED. OUR EXPENDITURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE 250,000 BELOW BUDGET, PRIMARILY DUE TO NOT EXPECTING TO USE THE CONTINGENCY BUDGETED FOR THE ROSE COMPLEX AT THIS TIME. SO SOME OF THE BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE ROSE COMPLEX. WE ARE ON PHASE THREE OF THE STAMPED CONCRETE. WE'RE EXPECTING TO BEGIN WORK IN MARCH. THE ELEVATOR FOR THE ROSE GARDEN HAS BEEN ORDERED AND AND IT'S BEING BUILT AND IT'S ESTIMATED TO BE INSTALLED IN APRIL. THE ROSE GARDEN CENTER AT THE HOLIDAY DECORATIONS MASTER PLAN THAT IS COMPLETED. AND IN DECEMBER OF 2025, THEY REPORTED THAT THEY HAD ALMOST 11,000 VISITORS. THAT STAYED AN AVERAGE OF 42 MINUTES, COMPARED TO DECEMBER OF 24, WHEN WE ONLY HAD 5000 VISITORS. THE POND FILTRATION FOR THE MEDITATION GARDEN. THEY EXPECT TO START THAT IN THE SPRING, AND WE ARE STILL CONTINUING THE DEMOLITION AND REHABILITATION OF THE AREAS OF THE OLD FAIRGROUND FACILITIES. THE EMPLOYEE BENEFITS FUNDS ARE. REVENUES ARE EXPECTED TO BE 87,000 HIGHER THAN BUDGETED. AND AS OF RIGHT NOW, OUR EXPENDITURES ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO BE 360,000 MORE THAN BUDGETED. AND THIS IS BASED ON HIGHER HEALTH CLAIMS THAT WE'RE SEEING THIS FISCAL YEAR SO FAR. A BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS FOR OUR COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS. WE DID IMPLEMENT THE FINAL PHASE OF OUR 2023 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ON OCTOBER 1ST. WE ALSO DID 3% CIVIL SERVICE INCREASE AND A 3% MERIT INCREASE FOR NON CIVIL SERVICE. AS OF JANUARY 1ST OF 2026, WE CHANGED OUR HEALTH PREMIUMS WITH AN INCREASE IN ROSE PLAN, BUT NO CHANGES FOR AZALEA AND BLUEBONNET. SO WITH THAT, I REQUEST THAT THE CITY COUNCIL TAKE ACTION TO REVIEW AND ACCEPT THE REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE REPORT FOR PERIOD ENDING DECEMBER 31ST, 2025. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS FOR LAUREN? I'VE GOT ONE WAY BACK ON THE FIRE TRUCK. WE TALKED ABOUT A LEASE PAYMENT THAT WE'RE NOT LEASING. THOSE ARE NO WE'RE LEASING TO PURCHASE. SO WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THE FIRE TRUCKS IN ADVANCE FOR THEM TO EVEN START BUILDING FOR. YES, FOR THEM TO START BUILDING IT. AND THIS WAS OUR FIRST PAYMENT THIS YEAR. AND THEY TAKE 36 MONTHS TO BUILD. RIGHT. WHAT ARE THE FOUR STRUCTURES THAT ARE SCHEDULED FOR DEMO? DO YOU KNOW? RIGHT. 
          FOR THAT? I DON'T KNOW. OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, I DID ASK THEM FOR AN UPDATE AND THEY JUST SAID THAT THEY HAD DEMOLISHED ONE AND THEY HAVE FOUR THAT WERE READY. THEY WERE JUST WAITING ON MAKING SURE THE WATER WAS TURNED OFF AND THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT I CAN GET THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU FROM THEM. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR LAUREN? MOVE TO APPROVE HIM FOR SECOND MOTION BY CURTIS, SECOND BY WIND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE.

 Request that the City Council consider making appointments to the Historical Preservation Board.]
OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES B1. IS THAT AD? IS THAT YOU OR CASSANDRA? THAT IS CASSANDRA, ALTHOUGH SHE WOULD PROBABLY LIKE TO TURN IT TO ME. BUT I ALREADY TOLD HER THAT. NO, NO, SHE'S GOT THIS. SO CASSANDRA JUST SENT ME A TEXT AND SAID, YOU'RE DOING IT, CASSANDRA SMITH. GOOD MORNING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. CASSANDRA BRAZIER, CITY CLERK, COMING TO YOU TODAY REQUESTING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL CONSIDER MAKING THREE APPOINTMENTS TO THE HISTORICAL PRESERVATION BOARD. AND DUE TO MEMBERS RESIGNING FROM THE BOARD IS THE REASON WHY WE'RE COMING BACK TODAY ASKING FOR MORE APPLICATIONS TO BE REVIEWED. YOU SHOULD HAVE IN YOUR PACKET BEN, RAY, DESHAWN, LAUREN FRANK, TIFFANY GRACE, AND CHAD HUMPHRIES THAT HAS BEEN REQUESTED OR RECOMMENDED BY THE BOARD TO APPOINT LORI ANNE FRANK, TIFFANY GRACE, AND CHAD HUMPHRIES. IF THAT IS YOUR DESIRE. THERE'S ALREADY A CHAIR. YES. AND THIS BOARD. I'LL ADD TWO. CASSANDRA. SHE DID A GREAT JOB ON THAT ONE, SO I'M GLAD SHE DID. IT IS, BUT IT IS. THIS IS A BOARD THAT'S BEEN UNABLE TO MEET BECAUSE OF LACK OF BEING ABLE TO HAVE A QUORUM BECAUSE OF AS FAR AS JUST AN ABSENCE OF MEMBERS. SO THAT'S THE REASON WE'RE BRINGING THIS 
          [01:05:02]
TO YOU NOW, INSTEAD OF THE USUAL TIME THAT WE DO BOARD AND COMMISSION ASSIGNMENTS. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR CASSANDRA TO APPROVE? SECOND, GET A MOTION BY WIND. SECOND BY CURTIS. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES. ALL 
          [CONSENT]
RIGHT. WE'RE DOWN TO THE CONSENT AGENDA. DO WE NEED TO PULL ANYTHING OR APPROVE AS WRITTEN? I THINK JIMMY HAS SOME CONCERNS ABOUT K1. EXCUSE ME. MOVE TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS WRITTEN. SECOND MOTION BY CURTIS, SECOND BY WINN. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES CITY MANAGER'S REPORT. AND FOR THE 
          [CITY MANAGER'S REPORT]
RECORD, ON K1, WE'RE NOT GIVING YOU ANY BULLETS. SO DAVID LONG SHOULD BE FINE. IT'S. YEAH, WE'RE ALL GOOD. SO A COUPLE OF ITEMS OF NOTE FOR THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL ON THE TYLER POLICE DEPARTMENT. THEIR TRAINING FACILITY IS MAKING THEY'RE MAKING STEADY PROGRESS. AND COMPLETING THE TRAINING CENTER THERE. CLEANING CREWS ARE ON SITE AND WORK THERE. WE'RE APPLYING THE DOOR HARDWARE AND MAKING SOME REPAIRS. THEY HAD A PUNCH LIST THAT WAS DONE LAST WEEK, AND SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS FACILITY COMING ONLINE. WE WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO'S BEEN INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT AND MOVING IT FORWARD. WE HOPE TO HAVE YOU ABLE TO SCHEDULE A AS FAR AS RIBBON CUTTING FOR IT SOON, IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO GET IN THERE AND BE ABLE TO USE THE NEW POLICE DEPARTMENT TRAINING FACILITY. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU MAY HAVE SEEN IS FOR THE TYLER FIRE DEPARTMENT. THEY HAD A CREW THAT WAS DEPLOYED TO THE LAVENDER FIRE THAT'S OCCURRING OUT IN WEST TEXAS. AND SO THEY HAVE ARRIVED ON THE SCENE AND BE ABLE TO START EXTINGUISHING THAT FIRE. THEY'RE IN GOOD SPIRITS AND FULLY COMMITTED TO BRING THE SITUATION UNDER CONTROL. THIS IS PART OF OUR WORK WITH THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY IN THAT BECAUSE OF THINGS THAT YOU, AS THE COUNCIL, HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AUTHORIZE WITH OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT THAT WHEN DIFFERENT EMERGENCIES LIKE THIS HAPPEN THROUGHOUT THE STATE, AND DEPENDING ON THE RESOURCES THAT ARE AVAILABLE, WE ARE ABLE TO THEN DEPLOY ON THESE AND BE REIMBURSED FOR THOSE COSTS THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THAT. AND SO THIS HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT, LIKE I SAID, BETWEEN THE CITY COUNCIL, OUR TYLER FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE STATE OF TEXAS BEEN ABLE TO WORK OUT AND HAS BEEN WORKING WELL FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT JUST KIND OF FINALLY TO KIND OF TALK A BIT ABOUT IS OUR DOWNTOWN IMPROVEMENTS. IT'S Y'ALL ARE VERY WELL AWARE. WE HAVE QUITE A BIT OF WORK WITH THE DOWNTOWN RENOVATION THAT'S GOING ON. CONSTRUCTION CREWS POURED THE CONCRETE FOR COLLEGE AVENUE BETWEEN IRWIN STREET AND FERGUSON STREET LAST WEEK. THE NEXT STOP FOR COLLEGE AVENUE IS LAYING DOWN THE PRESERVED HISTORIC BRICKS AND FINALIZING THE STREETSCAPE DETAILS. THE HISTORIC BRICKS WILL BE STARTED TO LAY DOWN ON MONDAY, MARCH 2ND ALONG COLLEGE. THE BRICKS THAT YOU SEE PALLETIZE WILL BE THE BRICKS THAT WILL GO BE USED TO GO BACK DOWN ON COLLEGE THERE. FOLLOWING THE COMPLETION OF THE BRICK STREET OF COLLEGE BETWEEN FERGUSON AND IRWIN, WORK WILL SHIFT TO THE PROJECT FORWARD ALONG THE COLLEGE AND IRWIN INTERSECTION IN HALF BLOCK PORTIONS. SIDEWALK TIMELINES WILL BE SENT OUT SOON. 
          THE CONTRACTORS ARE WORKING VERY HARD TO WORK ON TIMES AND DAYS THAT ARE LEAST DISRUPTIVE TO OUR BUSINESSES THAT ARE DOWNTOWN NOW. IN ADDITION TO THAT, YOU ALSO HAVE THE CONSENT DECREE PROJECT THAT CONTINUES TO MOVE THROUGH ELM STREET THERE. AND THEN I WILL START TO TURN ONTO COLLEGE AND GO DOWN TOWARDS THE SCHOOL THERE. BRICK REMOVAL WORK BEGAN ON IS SCHEDULED TO BEGIN ON THAT ON SUNDAY, MARCH 1ST. WE CONDUCTED IN THREE PHASES TO HELP MINIMIZE DISRUPTION. CROWNSVILLE HAS BEEN VERY GOOD IN WORKING WITH THIS, OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT AGAIN HOW TO MINIMIZE THE TIMES, EVEN ON THE I SAID WE START ON MARCH 1ST, SUNDAY, MARCH 1ST, WE SAID, YOU KNOW IS WE YOU KNOW, CAMERON KENT WENT TO THEM AND SAID ESSENTIALLY AFTER 1:00 ON SUNDAY MARCH, YOU KNOW, THE CHURCHES THAT TIME KIND OF ALREADY KIND OF OUT ONE OF OUR BUSINESSES IS KIND OF HIS THAT ESPECIALLY OUR RESTAURANTS ARE KIND OF STARTING TO CLOSE DOWN OR BE CLOSED AT THAT POINT.
