AND I AM HERE THIS MORNING EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT WE RECEIVED MORE GRANT FUNDING FROM THE HEALTH FOUNDATION OF EAST TEXAS. THIS IS TO GO TOWARDS THE LIGHT UP FORKNER SKATE PARK PROJECT. THIS PROJECT, THIS GRANT WAS ACTUALLY SUBMITTED BY ASHLEY MORRISON AND MATTHEW HUCKABEE, WHO ARE JUST CITIZENS WHO WANTED TO SEE SOME LIGHTS OUT OF THE SKATE PARK. AND WHEN THEY CAME TO US, WE HAD TO EXPLAIN FUNDING WAS WAS AN ISSUE RIGHT NOW. AND THEY TOOK IT UPON THEMSELVES TO START SOME FUNDRAISING, WHICH WE WERE REALLY HAPPY ABOUT. AND WE PARTNERED WITH THEM FOR A WHILE. THEY WERE ABLE TO RAISE $14,000, WHICH WAS REALLY EXCITING. AND THEN I ENCOURAGED THEM TO APPLY FOR THIS GRANT, WHICH, YOU KNOW,

WE HAD RECEIVED TWO OF THOSE OURSELVES IN PARKS. SO THEY DID APPLY FOR IT. THEY GOT $250,000 AND 116,000 AND 275 WENT TO THE CITY OF TYLER TO INSTALL THOSE LIGHTS AND SOME PERMANENT FIXTURES.

OPPOSED? ALRIGHT. M1 IS APPROVED. AND LEE ANN AGAIN FOR EM. THANK YOU. SO BACK IN 20.

IT DIDN'T CHANGE FOR ME EITHER. IT'S ON. SO BACK IN 2017 WE UNVEILED THE ROSE COMPLEX MASTER PLAN. AND IN THAT MASTER PLAN IT HAD THE MAYFAIR BUILDING AND A PATIO THAT CAME OFF OF THE MAYFAIR FACILITY. AND SO IF YOU ARE IN THE MAYFAIR FACILITY, YOU WILL YOU WILL NOTICE THREE ROLL UP DOORS ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE FACILITY. AND THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE GOING OUT TO A DECK. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE AN INDOOR OUTDOOR FACILITY, AND WE HAVE JUST NOT BEEN ABLE TO IMPLEMENT THAT QUITE YET. SO WE ARE EXCITED THAT WE ARE ABLE TO DO THAT RIGHT NOW. AND ON FRIDAY, AUGUST THE 28TH AND SEPTEMBER 4TH, THE CITY OF TYLER ADVERTISED BIDS TO FURNISH ALL NECESSARY MATERIALS, EQUIPMENT, SUPERINTENDENTS AND LABOR FOR THE MAYFAIR DECK PROJECT. A NON-MANDATORY VIRTUAL PRE-BID MEETING WAS HELD ON SEPTEMBER 3RD. THERE WERE A TOTAL OF SEVEN BIDS. CASEY SLOAN CONSTRUCTION, RAD CIVIL SERVICE, WATSON COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION, ALLMAN CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, RILEY HARRIS CONSTRUCTION TEGRITY CONTRACTORS, INC. AND J. CONCRETE PAVING, INC. CASEY SLOAN CONSTRUCTION WAS THE LOWEST BIDDER AT $164,241. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL CONSIDER AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO AWARD BID NUMBER 26-033 FOR THE MAYFAIR GATHERING DECK TO CASEY SLOAN CONSTRUCTION TO FURNISH ALL NECESSARY MATERIALS, EQUIPMENT, SUPERINTENDENTS AND LABOR AND THE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $164,241, IS GOING TO GET OUT THERE AND HELP THEM BUILD.

YEAH, THERE'S WELL, THERE'S, THERE IS A, THERE'S SEVERAL LITTLE BUILDINGS NEXT TO IT IN A PAVILION THAT DOES HAVE COVERING. AND SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT MAKING SURE THE DECK GETS BUILT. LEON, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE SQUARE FOOTAGE IS? I WAS CURIOUS, I, I DO NOT KNOW THE SQUARE FOOTAGE, BUT I CAN GET THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU. THANKS. YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?

[M-3 Request that the City Council consider awarding bid number 26-029 related to Pharmacy Benefits Management (PBM) Services Only (Actives and Pre-65 Retirees) to LucyRX (Incumbent).]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. IN THREE. LET'S SEE LANCE COMING UP AS WELL. IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN. GOOD MORNING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MY NAME IS JANET AGUILAR. I'M THE BENEFITS MANAGER WITH THE ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT TEAM. WE RECENTLY HAD TO GO OUT FOR RFP FOR OUR STOP LOSS COVERAGE. AND TODAY I'M HERE TO PRESENT LANCE BENSLEY WITH MARS CONSULTING. HE WILL GIVE THE RESULTS OF THAT RFP AND PROVIDE HIS RECOMMENDATION. THANKS, MR. MAYOR, IT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE GOT TO SAY THAT TO YOU. CITY COUNCIL. GOOD TO SEE YOU, MR.

[00:15:05]

CITY MANAGER LANCE FINLEY, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT WITH MARS AGENCY, FORMERLY MCGRIFF.

AS JANET MENTIONED, WE YOU KNOW, SO WE MEET AT THE FIRST OF THE YEAR FOR FOR THE NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS. I'LL JUST START REAL QUICK. WE HAVE A CALENDAR YEAR HEALTH PLAN, SELF-FUNDED MEDICAL AND PHARMACY. WE DO BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR, BUT OUR OUR HEALTH PLAN RUNS ON A CALENDAR YEAR. AT THE FIRST OF THE YEAR, WE MEET AND DISCUSS PRIORITIES FOR THE YEAR. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS HIGH ON OUR PRIORITY LIST WAS AN RFP FOR THE PHARMACY BENEFIT MANAGER. AS YOU'RE PROBABLY AWARE, HEALTHCARE COST, PHARMACY COSTS ARE EXTREMELY HIGH RIGHT NOW. SO THIS WAS A PROACTIVE MEASURE THAT WE WORKED ON WITH THE ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT TEAM. AND I'M EXCITED TO PRESENT THE RESULTS TO YOU AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. SO WE DID THE COMPETITIVE RFP PROCESS THIS SUMMER. AS I MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, WE STARTED DISCUSSIONS AT THE FIRST OF THE YEAR, RECOGNIZED AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS, THE PHARMACY BENEFIT MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS ARE THEY GET MORE COMPETITIVE TYPICALLY EVERY YEAR. SO WE'RE GOING TO BE RECOMMENDING A ONE YEAR CONTRACT SO THAT WE CAN GO OUT AND CAN CONTINUE TO NEGOTIATE THE BEST POSSIBLE CONTRACTS EVERY YEAR FOR THE CITY OF TYLER. MOVING FORWARD, THIS RECOMMENDATION IS GOING TO MINIMIZE DISRUPTION TO THE EMPLOYEE POPULATION. THEY'VE CHANGED THEIR NAME SEVERAL TIMES. THEY STARTED AS HEALTHCARE HIGHWAYS, THEN MOVED TO SURPASS, AND NOW THEY'RE CALLED LUCY RX. BUT THEY THEY'VE BEEN PARTNERS WITH US SINCE 2017. THEY'VE BEEN VERY GOOD PARTNERS FOR THE EMPLOYEES. THEY'RE BASED OUT OF THE DFW AREA. THEY COME OUT AND PARTICIPATE IN THE HEALTH FAIR, ETC. WE'VE SENT YOU MOST OF THIS STUFF, SO WE'RE GOING TO JUST GO THROUGH IT ONCE AGAIN, COMPETITIVE RFP PROCESS. WE DID NARROW FINALIST AND DID A BEST IN FINAL PROCESS FOR SEVERAL OF THE PBMS FOR PBMS. TOTAL. OUT OF THE SEVEN THAT BID, WE DID FORMULARY DISRUPTION. SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THE COUNCIL IS AWARE. WE TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN MAKING SURE THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO MAKE CHANGES, IF WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT ITEMS, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR EMPLOYEE POPULATION, SPOUSES, CHILDREN, PRE 65 RETIREES, THE SAME DRUGS THAT THEY'RE TAKING TODAY WOULD BE ON ANY NEW VENDOR THAT WE WOULD RECOMMEND.

SO WE DID FORMULARY DISRUPTION TO LOOK AT THE DRUGS THAT THAT EVERY VENDOR PROPOSED. AND THEN WE ULTIMATELY, THE SAVINGS THAT I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU IS DUE TO ENHANCED PHARMACY DISCOUNTS. SO CONTRACTUAL DISCOUNTS WITHIN THE PHARMACY PROGRAM ITSELF AND INCREASES IN REBATE REVENUE FOR BRAND AND SPECIALTY MEDICATIONS. WE DON'T RECEIVE REBATES FOR GENERIC MEDICATIONS, BUT AS TYPICAL IN OUR INDUSTRY, YOU THE CITY RECEIVES REBATES FOR FOR BRAND AND SPECIALTY MEDICATIONS. SO THAT'S WHERE A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR SAVINGS THAT I'M ABOUT TO SHOW YOU ARE. WE TALKED ABOUT THE INCUMBENT. THEY'VE BEEN A GREAT PARTNER, HANDS ON TEAM MEMBERS LOCATED IN DFW. THEY'VE THEY'VE ROLLED OUT SEVERAL PROGRAMS FOR US OVER THE YEARS THAT HAVE BEEN HELPFUL AND COST SAVINGS. WE DO SHOW UP THERE A GLP ONE SOLUTION. WE ONLY COVER GLP ONES PRIMARILY FOR TYPE TWO DIABETICS ON THE HEALTH PLAN. AND THAT WAS A SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS WHEN WE MADE THAT CHANGE. THEY ALSO GIVE US SOME FLEXIBILITY FOR FUTURE PROGRAMS AND COST SAVINGS OPTIONS. SO ALTHOUGH, YOU KNOW, WHEN I GET TO THE ANALYSIS, THEY'RE NOT THE LOWEST ON THE SPREADSHEET, SO TO SPEAK, THEY DO GIVE US MORE FLEXIBILITY THAN SOME OF THE OTHER VENDORS THAT PROPOSED. I'M GOING TO GET STRAIGHT TO THE BEST AND FINAL OFFER RIGHT HERE. AND WE HAVE TO USE HISTORICAL CLAIMS DATA TO DETERMINE WHAT THE GO FORWARD SAVINGS IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE. OUR UTILIZATION IS ALWAYS GOING TO CHANGE HERE AT THE CITY. NEW DRUGS COME ONTO THE MARKET. PEOPLE LEAVE THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT OUR PROJECTED SAVINGS FROM THIS RFP PROCESS BASED ON HISTORICAL UTILIZATION IS GOING TO BE ROUGHLY, YOU KNOW, JUST OVER 20%. IT VARIES BY VENDOR, AS YOU CAN SEE. BUT ONCE AGAIN, LUCY RX IS GOING TO BE THE

[00:20:02]

RECOMMENDATION TODAY FOR FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS. AND WE'RE PROJECTING $815,000 IN SAVINGS NEXT YEAR BASED ON THESE CONTRACTUAL CHANGES. SO PRETTY SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS TO THE PHARMACY PROGRAM. IT'LL OFFSET SOME TREND INCREASES AND SOME THINGS THAT WE WERE EXPECTING WHEN WE SET THE BUDGET BACK IN APRIL AND MAY. SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO PRESENT THIS TO YOU.

I MENTIONED THE FORMULARY DISRUPTION. A COUPLE OF THE OTHER VENDORS, PRIMARILY RX BENEFITS, OPTUM AND ESI. WE'RE, LIKE I SAID, SHOWING SOME SAVINGS, BUT THEY WERE REMOVING DRUGS FROM THE FORMULARY LIST THAT WOULD DISRUPT 55 OF OUR MEMBERS. THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CAME INTO CONSIDERATION FOR THIS RECOMMENDATION TODAY. SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, JUST AND I'M HERE ONCE AGAIN TO ANSWER QUESTIONS, BUT WE'RE MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO AWARD LUCY RX THE CONTRACT FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2027.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, LANCE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. THIS EXPECTED SAVINGS OF 815,000. IS THAT AN AVERAGE OF LOOKING AT THE HISTORICAL NUMBER OF CLAIMS FROM THE PAST YEAR? RIGHT. SO WHAT WE DO, MAYOR, IS WE REQUEST A DATA SET FROM LUCY RX, TYPICALLY 12 MONTHS OF THE PREVIOUS THE PREVIOUS 12 MONTHS OF DATA. AND WE USE THAT DATA, WE RUN IT THROUGH OUR, OUR FORMULAS AND OUR ALGORITHMS TO DETERMINE IF THE CITY OF TYLER'S UTILIZATION WERE EXACTLY THE SAME AS IT WERE IN THE PRIOR 12 MONTHS. WHAT WOULD IT LOOK LIKE FOR 12 MONTHS IN THE FUTURE? SO IT EXACTLY RIGHT. WHAT YOU'RE WHAT YOU'RE. AND THEN WITH THIS BEING A ONE YEAR AGREEMENT, DOES IT EVER GET TO THE POINT WHERE IT'S SUCH A SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS AMOUNT THAT IT'S BENEFICIAL TO LOCK IT IN FOR TWO YEARS OR THREE YEARS? WITH COSTS CONTINUING TO INCREASE, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THE ULTIMATE FLEXIBILITY HERE AT THE CITY OF TYLER TO CHANGE OUR STRATEGY FROM ONE YEAR AGREEMENTS BACK TO MULTIYEAR AGREEMENTS. I DO THINK THAT THERE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO MONITOR ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. IF IT MAKES SENSE FOR US TO LOCK IN A MULTI-YEAR AGREEMENT, IF WE FEEL LIKE THE MARKET IS SLOWING DOWN IN TERMS OF INCREASING REBATE REVENUE AND THINGS LIKE THAT, WE WILL MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS BACK TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR MULTI-YEAR AGREEMENTS. AND I'VE BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME. THERE WERE VERY MANY YEARS WHERE WE WOULD RECOMMEND MULTIYEAR AGREEMENTS, BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST KIND OF IN A STATE OF FLUX WHERE WE WANT YOU ALL TO HAVE ULTIMATE FLEXIBILITY. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE MEDICATIONS THAT WERE BEING REMOVED, OR WERE THEY BEING REMOVED OR WERE THEY BEING SUBSTITUTED FOR GENERIC? TYPICALLY ALL OF THE ABOVE. SO THEY COULD BE EXCLUDED COMPLETELY IN, IN A SITUATION WHERE THAT DRUG IS EXCLUDED FROM THE FORMULARY COMPLETELY AND REPLACED WITH ANOTHER LIGHT DRUG, SIMILAR DRUG, THERE MAY BE SITUATIONS, COUNCILMAN. WHERE THE DRUG IS REMOVED BECAUSE IT HAS A GENERIC EQUIVALENT. SO IF THAT MAKES SENSE, THEY'RE REMOVING THE DRUG COMPLETELY BECAUSE TO TO POTENTIALLY REDUCE COSTS FOR, FOR THE, FOR THE MEMBER AND FOR THE CITY. YEAH. BECAUSE GENERALLY THE GENERIC IS LESS EXPENSIVE. YES, MA'AM. TRADE OR BRAND NAME. YES MA'AM. AND WE DO WE DO HAVE ABOUT 90%. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT. THE COUNCIL KNOWS WE HAVE ABOUT 90% GENERIC UTILIZATION. THE DRUGS THAT ARE EXPENSIVE UNFORTUNATELY, ARE THE OTHER 10%. THE BRAND MEDICATIONS. AND THEN IF YOU WATCH TV AT NIGHT, WE ALL KNOW THAT EVERY OTHER COMMERCIAL ON TV IS A DRUG COMMERCIAL. TYPICALLY, THE VERY HIGH COST SPECIALTY DRUGS THAT A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF OUR OUR MEMBERS, OUR EMPLOYEES, SPOUSES AND CHILDREN ARE TAKING. BUT THOSE COSTS ARE, ARE THOSE DRUGS ARE VERY COSTLY. YEAH.

SOMETIMES THERE HADN'T BEEN A GENERIC FORMULATED YET FOR THOSE. SO. RIGHT. OKAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF LANCE OR FOR JANET? OKAY. WITH THAT I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON M THREE MOVE TO APPROVE M THREE. I SECOND HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN NICHOLS AND A SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN MARSH. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? M THREE IS APPROVED. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MAYOR. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. AND FOR

[M-4 Request that the City Council consider authorizing the City Manager to execute an engineering services agreement with HDR Engineering Inc. for the Risk Analysis and Prioritization Study for Mud Creek Dam in the amount not to exceed $355,905.00.]

JACOB. ALL RIGHT. GOOD MORNING MAYOR CITY COUNCIL. GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS JACOB

[00:25:09]

YONKER AND I AM A PROJECT ENGINEER FOR TYLER WATER UTILITIES. AND I'M EXCITED TO PRESENT AGENDA ITEM M4T ALL THIS MORNING. THIS IS FOR THE RISK ANALYSIS AND PRIORITIZATION STUDY FOR THE LAKE TYLER EAST DAM. SO A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND. LAKE TYLER EAST DAM, ALSO KNOWN AS MUD CREEK DAM, WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 1967. THAT WAS ABOUT 20 YEARS AFTER THE ORIGINAL LAKE TYLER DAM WAS BUILT. THE CLASSIFICATION FOR THIS STRUCTURE IS IT'S A LARGE SIZE AND IT'S A HIGH HAZARD POTENTIAL DAM. AND JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF A SCALE OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, IT'S 57FT TALL ABOVE THE ORIGINAL STREAM BED, AND THE DAM LENGTH IS AROUND 3700FT LONG. AND THAT LITTLE STAR RIGHT THERE IS THE DEWATERING UNDER DRAINED WET WELL, SO THERE'S AN UNDER DRAIN SYSTEM UNDER THE SPILLWAY THAT IS DESIGNED TO DEWATER. UNDERNEATH THE SPILLWAY. AND WE'VE BEEN HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH THAT. IT WAS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. THE PUMPS WEREN'T FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY, AND WE HAVE SINCE CORRECTED THAT. BUT THAT'S PART OF WHAT WE'RE TAKING A CLOSER LOOK IN INTO THIS STUDY. SO ABOUT THIS TIME A YEAR AGO, IN OCTOBER 25TH, LAKE TYLER STAFF OBSERVED SOME VOIDS AND SEEPAGE OCCURRING ADJACENT TO THE SPILLWAY AND ALSO SOME WET AREAS TO THE WEST OF THE SPILLWAY. THAT WAS EVIDENCE OF POTENTIAL SEEPAGE. SO THIS WAS CONCERNING TO US, AND WE ENGAGED HDR TO PERFORM A AN INSPECTION ON THAT STRUCTURE. THEY THEY GAVE US THE INSPECTION REPORT, AND THEIR FINDINGS WAS THAT THE DAM WAS IN OVERALL FAIR TO POOR CONDITION. AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY GAVE US A LIST OF PRIORITY LEVEL ONE ACTION ITEMS WHICH MANY OF WHICH WE HAVE COMPLETED. WE BACKFILLED SINKHOLES, REMOVED SEDIMENT FROM THE WET WELL, AND GOT IT IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. WE WERE UNABLE TO CAMERA INSPECT THE UNDERDRAIN PIPE BASED ON THE CONDITION OF THE PIPE, BUT. BUT WE SURE AS HECK TRIED. WE DID PERFORM GROUND PENETRATING RADAR. WE REMOVED SEDIMENT IN THE STILLING BASIN. THE PIEZOMETER MONITORING IS A LONG TERM THING THAT WE'RE STILL WORKING ON. AND THEN THE RISK ASSESSMENT IS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TODAY. SO AFTER WE DID ALL THESE THINGS, THE TCU CAME AND THEY DID AN INSPECTION ON THE DAM IN JULY 26TH. AND THEIR OVERALL RATING WAS FAIR CONDITION. SO I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT THIS PROJECT IS NOT AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE OR AN EMERGENCY REPAIR TO THE DAM. IT'S A LONG TERM ROADMAP. SO THE THE DAM IS IN IN FAIR SHAPE RIGHT NOW. SO WHAT THE THE RISK ANALYSIS IS GOING TO BE CONSIDERING. WELL, IT'S IT'S REALLY ADJACENT TO A MASTER PLAN. IT'S GOING TO LOOK AT A LONG TERM LIFE OF THE DAM TO, TO EXTEND THAT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. SO HDR IS GOING TO CONSIDER POTENTIAL FAILURE MODES, DEVELOP A FLOOD MODEL AND HAZARD CURVE. AND THEN THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO DEVELOP A DAM SCREENING TOOL TO ESTIMATE CONSEQUENCES DOWNSTREAM IF A BREACH WERE TO EVER OCCUR. AND THESE ARE REALLY GOING TO BE TOOLS IN OUR TOOL BELT TO TO BUILD THIS ROADMAP. AND THE THREE PROJECTS THAT ARE BEING CONSIDERED AND ARE, ARE THE SPILLWAY REHAB VERSUS SPILLWAY REPLACEMENT VERSUS A SEEPAGE CUTOFF WALL. AND I'M DEFINITELY NOT UP HERE SAYING THAT WE NEED TO DO ALL THREE OF THESE. THE PRIORITIZATION STUDY IS GOING TO DETERMINE WHICH ONES ARE NECESSARY AND WHEN THEY WILL BE NECESSARY. SO WE'RE EXPECTED TO HAVE THE THE FINDINGS FROM THIS STUDY READY IN THE SPRING OF 2027. SO I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT THE CITY COUNCIL CONSIDER AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN ENGINEERING SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH HDR ENGINEERING FOR THE RISK ANALYSIS AND PRIORITIZATION STUDY FOR MUD CREEK DAM IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $355,905. THANK YOU. JACOB, ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR JACOB OR ANY DAM JOKES? NO. OKAY, SO WE ALREADY KNOW THAT ALL THREE OF THOSE NEED TO BE DONE. IT'S JUST THE STUDY IS JUST TO ANALYZE THE PRIORITIZATION. SO I WOULD NOT SAY THAT ALL THREE OF THEM NEED TO BE DONE. IT COULD BE A COMBINATION OF ANY THREE. BUT THE PRIORITIZATION, THE STUDY IS GOING TO LET US KNOW WHAT'S THE MOST CRITICAL, WHAT'S GOING TO GET US THE THE MOST RESULTS FOR THE, THE COST AND, AND REALLY PRIORITIZE WHAT IS NECESSARY, NOT ALL THREE BEING NECESSARY. YES, MA'AM. THE COST IS THE PIECE ON THE WHATEVER.

AS FAR AS CAPITAL PROJECT RESULTS FROM. THIS IS, OF COURSE, OF UTMOST CONCERN, AS WELL AS MAKING SURE YOU PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE DAM. SO THAT'S PART OF WHAT THE STUDY HAS TO COME BACK, IS TO ALSO SHOW US, BASED UPON KIND OF THE REVIEW AND THE ACTUAL

[00:30:04]

WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY FINDING WITH THE VOIDS, WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, AND JUST DIFFERENT AS FAR AS OPTIONS TO BE COST CONSCIOUS IN RELATIONSHIP TO THAT. THIS THEN BE FUNDED BY HALF-CENT, OR THESE WILL BE FUNDED THROUGH UTILITIES AS LAKE TYLER AND LAKE TYLER PROJECT. THESE PROJECTS ARE. YEAH. OKAY. BUDGETED EXPENSE FOR THIS YEAR. SO THE BUDGETED O FOR THE STUDY, I THINK IT PROBABLY WAS FUNDING THAT WAS PUT ASIDE FOR THE STUDY FOR THIS, FOR THE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WITH THIS PIECE. OKAY. FOR THE REPAIRS THEMSELVES. NOT YET. RIGHT. BUT JUST YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I'M THERE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. WITH THAT? I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR MOVE TO APPROVE. JINX. YOU OWE ME A COKE. SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER. I HAVE A SECOND. SECOND. OKAY. SECOND BY COUNCILMAN NICHOLS. ALL IN FAVOR FOR M FOR. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? ALRIGHT, M4 IS
