[4. Capital Improvement Retreat The purpose of this retreat is to provide the Mayor and City Council a review of the Capital focused improvements process as an element of the 24-25 budget process. ]

GOOD MORNING COUNCIL. GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY.

MORNING. MORNING.

THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF OUR BUDGET RETREATS.

I'VE GOT THESE DIALED IN OVER THE YEARS.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A GOOD PROCESS GOING, AND THEY'RE THEY'RE INVALUABLE RETREATS IN TERMS OF EXCHANGING INFORMATION, GETTING DIRECTION ON THIS VERY IMPORTANT BUDGET JOURNEY THAT WE'RE ON.

WE. TREATED IN FEBRUARY IN KING'S OFF.

THE TEAM ACTUALLY STARTS AND ERNST.

STARTS HIS PROCESS IN NOVEMBER.

DECEMBER. BUT WE WERE HERE WITH COUNCIL IN FEBRUARY AND HAD A VERY GOOD DISCUSSIONS.

AND THEN WE WE RETREATED SINCE THEN.

HELP ME OUT ON THAT. OKAY, SO HERE WE ARE TODAY.

ALONG THIS PROCESS, OVER THE YEARS THIS PARTICULAR RETREAT HAS EVOLVED.

WE DIDN'T ALWAYS HAVE A CAPITAL PROJECTS RETREAT IN AND OF ITSELF.

THE INTEGRATED OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS DISCUSSION INTO OUR PROCESSES AND COUNCIL A FEW YEARS BACK OBVIOUSLY HAD AND JUSTIFIABLY, A VERY HIGH INTEREST IN OUR PROJECTS.

SO WE ELECTED TO HAVE A STANDALONE RETREAT, AND WE TARGETED EARLY APRIL.

WE'RE DOING THIS AT THE END OF MARCH.

THEN WE'LL RETREAT AGAIN AT THE END OF APRIL.

AND THAT'S WHEN EVERYTHING STARTS COMING TOGETHER.

THAT'S A TWO DAY RETREAT, AT LEAST ON SCHEDULE RIGHT NOW.

AND THAT WILL CONCLUDE OUR LONG AND VERY IMPORTANT ENGAGEMENT WITH COUNCIL ON THE BUDGET PROCESS.

BUT IT'S NOT THE END OF THE PROCESS.

AND YOU'LL HEAR AND SEE THE TIMELINE IN A BIT.

I DON'T WANT TO STEAL OTHER PEOPLE'S THUNDER, BUT WE GET BACK IN FRONT OF YOU WITH AN ORDINANCE PRIOR TO YOUR RECESS IN THE SUMMER.

AND WE DO WRAP THINGS UP BY THE RECESS.

SO WITH THAT WE'RE HERE THIS MORNING.

WE TYPICALLY HAVE A FACILITATOR AT THESE RETREATS TODAY.

WE'RE FACILITATING INTERNALLY.

YOU'RE STUCK WITH US.

THAT WAS SIMPLY BECAUSE ALL OF OUR FACILITATORS ARE IN SUCH HIGH DEMAND.

SO WE DECIDED TO DO THIS ONE ON OUR OWN.

IT'S GOING TO BE A BIT OF A TAG TEAM TODAY.

IT WILL NOT BE ME UP HERE.

I'M JUST KICKING THINGS OFF THIS MORNING.

IT'LL BE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE I DO WANT TO IMPRESS UPON YOU THAT THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF EFFORT GOING INTO THIS PARTICULAR RETREAT, AS YOU WOULD IMAGINE, BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF PROJECTS GOING ON AND THERE'S A LOT OF PROJECTS PLANNED.

I WOULD CHARACTERIZE IT AS EVEN WITH ALL THE PROJECTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY UNDERWAY BEULAH INTERSECTION, THE BIG PROJECTS ON OUR SPRUCE WASH PROJECT OUT IN GRANDVIEW NOW WITH LINDA VISTA BEING CLOSED AND JUST A MYRIAD OF OTHER THINGS HAPPENING, BUT THIS IS THE APPETIZER.

THE MAIN COURSE IS YET TO COME.

[00:05:03]

AND SO WE, WE KEEP MESSAGING THAT BECAUSE IT'S SO IMPORTANT, BECAUSE WE KNOW WHAT LIES AHEAD.

IT'S EXCITING AND IT'S DAUNTING ALL AT THE SAME TIME, USUALLY WITH OUR FACILITATORS, YOU KNOW OH, BY THE WAY, THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT TODAY ARE THERE ARE NO RULES OF ENGAGEMENT.

IT'S IT'S INFORMAL.

AND, MAYOR, WITH YOUR CONSENT, WE'LL JUST ALLOW PEOPLE TO RAISE THEIR HAND AT WILL.

YEAH. FREE FOR ALL.

ALL INFORMATION IS IMPORTANT.

NO BAD COMMENTS OR NO UNNECESSARY COMMENTS OR NO UNWARRANTED COMMENTS.

EVERYTHING IS FAIR GAME.

WE DO ASK THAT IF YOU'RE GOING TO SPEAK JUST BECAUSE WE'RE ON RECORD HERE THAT YOU GET UP CLOSE TO, WE HAVE MICROPHONES ACTUALLY IN THE FRONT AND THE BACK. RIGHT. SO WE DON'T HAVE TO PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO COME.

YOU CAN JUST STAND UP JUST OUT OF ALLIES AND COME FORWARD.

REALLY? YES. I BET I SEE MICROPHONES BACK THERE.

JUST THIS ONE. OH! COME FORWARD. DISREGARD WHAT I JUST SAID.

IT'S FOR LUCK. YEAH, THAT'S JUST FOR LOOKS.

COME FORWARD TO THIS AREA SO WE CAN GET YOU ON RECORD.

AND AGAIN, IT'S A LITTLE BIT FREE FLOWING.

WE'RE GOING TO COVER A LOT OF GROUND TODAY.

LASTLY USUALLY WITH OUR RETREATS AND OUR FACILITATORS, WE ALWAYS HAVE LIKE, THIS WARM AND FUZZY EXERCISE TO GET EVERYBODY INTO THE RIGHT FRAME OF MIND FOR THE DAY.

I'M NOT VERY GOOD AT THAT SORT OF THING, BUT I'VE THOUGHT OF SOMETHING THAT I'D LIKE TO THROW OUT HERE AS A QUICK, QUICK EXERCISE.

DON'T WORRY, IT'LL BE OVER QUICKLY, I PROMISE.

AND IT WILL HOPEFULLY SET THE MOOD FOR THE DAY.

AS WE'RE GOING TO COVER A LOT OF GROUND.

SO I WAS WONDERING IF YOU WOULD INDULGE ME HERE.

I NEED EVERYBODY TO PAIR UP.

DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S LEFT OR RIGHT.

JUST FIND SOMEBODY AND KIND OF PAIR UP REAL FAST.

THIS WON'T TAKE LONG.

YEAH. WE'RE GOOD.

YEAH. SORRY. I'M.

I KEEP THINKING ABOUT POURING WATER OUT HERE.

TAKES ONLY TEN MINUTES.

I'M ACTUALLY LESS THAN TEN MINUTES INTO IT.

NO LAUGHING. TRIPLE ESPRESSO.

OKAY. YOU'VE GOT SOMEBODY NEXT TO YOU.

I WOULD LIKE THE PERSON ON THE LEFT.

LOOK AT THE PERSON ON THE RIGHT.

AND CRACK A BIG SMILE AND LOOK INTENTLY INTO THAT PERSON'S EYES AND SAY TWO THINGS.

TWO THINGS. FIRST, I APPRECIATE YOU.

THAT. AND THE SECOND THING.

SECOND THING. I HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY.

ALL RIGHT. OKAY.

NOW THE PERSON ON THE RIGHT, PERSON ON THE RIGHT.

IF YOU COULD RETURN THE FAVOR AND LOOK INTENTLY AT YOUR PARTNER ON THE LEFT AND SAY.

TWO THINGS. MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

QUIT STARING AT ME. ALL RIGHT.

THAT CONCLUDES MY WARM AND FUZZY.

WELCOME. WE'RE ALL IN THE RIGHT FRAME OF MIND, MAN.

ARE YOU READY, SCOTT? I WILL GET AN OSHA ISSUE.

WELL, GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY.

GOOD MORNING. TOOK THE TIME THAT I WAS GOING TO PASS OVER TO SCOTT TO DO A TRUST EXERCISE.

BUT I'M NOT HAVE A TRUST EXERCISE.

EVERYBODY UP ON THE TABLES.

SO, AS GREG MENTIONED, WE ARE FACILITATING THIS TODAY.

LAST LAST YEAR, IF YOU RECALL, WE HAD JULIE LEAD AND I, YOU KNOW, I LOOK BACK AT THAT TIME AND IT WAS ACTUALLY THE DAY AFTER I DID MY MEET AND GREET FOR THIS POSITION. AND I REMEMBER WATCHING THE ENTIRE RETREAT AND JUST THINKING, OH, MY GOSH, WHAT HAVE I POTENTIALLY GOTTEN MYSELF INTO WITH THIS JOB? BUT IT WAS IT WAS A GREAT DAY OF PRESENTATIONS AND UPDATES FROM OUR AMAZING TEAM AT TEAM FLAGSTAFF.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE PLANNED TODAY.

SO TODAY IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TO GET UPDATES ON ALL OF OUR PROJECTS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON AND OUR CIP.

WE WILL IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE MORE INFORMATION THAN THAN YOU WANT AND NEED, BUT I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.

TO UNDERSTAND AND OUR TEAM AS WELL.

[00:10:01]

IT'S IT'S A BIG LIST.

AND I JUST WANT TO JUST RECOGNIZE OUR TEAM THAT WORKED ON THIS TODAY.

MYSELF, SCOTT OVERTON MARTY DONAHUE, WHO WILL BE COMING UP NEXT TO DO THE COLOR OF MONEY PRESENTATION IN FINANCE.

WE ALSO HAD PAUL MOOD, OUR CITY ENGINEER, TREVOR HENRY.

MAC MCNAMARA.

WE DID A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE THAT PUT A WHOLE BUNCH OF SLIDES TOGETHER.

YEAH. SO. SO THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU FOR WORKING ON THIS PRESENTATION.

IT'S INCREDIBLY COMPREHENSIVE.

AND AND I THINK ONE OF OUR GOALS, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I KNOW YOU KNOW, GREG AND I HAVE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS ABOUT I KNOW WE'VE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS WITH COUNCIL AS WELL ABOUT HOW WE GET THIS INFORMATION OUT TO THE PUBLIC.

YOU KNOW, I THINK THIS WEEK HAS BEEN A WEEK WHERE I THINK IT HAS BECOME JUST SO IMPORTANT THAT WE COMMUNICATE THE PROJECTS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON AND MAKING SURE THAT OUR, OUR COMMUNICATION IS GOING OUT TO THE COMMUNITY THAT WE HAVE ALL HANDS ON DECK.

AND, AND, I MEAN, THIS MORNING WAS A BIT ROUGH, BUT I THINK IT'S BEEN A PRETTY, PRETTY GOOD WEEK OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WORKS AND DOESN'T WORK ON PROJECTS.

AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH MORE OF THAT.

AND ALL OF YOU ARE THE ONES THAT GET THE PHONE CALLS AS WELL AS THE CITY MANAGER, I THINK WE ALL DO.

BUT WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE THE INFORMATION, YOU KNOW, TO BE ABLE TO, TO TELL THE COMMUNITY WHAT'S ON THE HORIZON.

SO, SCOTT, WHAT DID I MISS? I MAKE THE COMMENT.

YES. IN MY EIGHT YEARS ON COUNCIL, WE'VE HAD FACILITATORS AND SOMETIMES THEY DIDN'T.

AND OUR FACILITATORS HAVE BEEN GREAT, THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT.

BUT NOW THAT WE HAVE A GREAT MAYOR, I DON'T KNOW THAT WE NEED A FACILITATOR.

JUST THINK OF THE MONEY WE COULD SAVE.

SO MAYBE KEEP THAT IN MIND AS WE GO THROUGH THE DAY.

AND I SUGGEST THAT WE DON'T NEED A FACILITATOR WITH TEAM FLAGSTAFF KNOWS WHAT THE HELL THEY'RE DOING.

THANK YOU. AND I HAVE TO SAY ONE THING I WOULD SAY.

SO I'M STILL SOMEWHAT NEW IN THIS POSITION.

I HAVE TO SAY, IN THE LAST, I THINK, TWO WEEKS, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE COME UP TO ME AND SAY, THIS IS THE STRONGEST TEAM THAT THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF HAS EVER HAD.

I JUST WANT TO POINT THAT OUT.

ELECTED STAFF ALL THE WAY AROUND.

SO I JUST WANTED TO PASS THAT ON TO ALL OF YOU, THAT IT'S A COMMENT THAT I, THAT I KEEP HEARING, AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I PASS THAT ON BEFORE SCOTT GETS STARTED.

CAN I JUST SAY SOMETHING TO THE GROUP? I JUST WANT THE STAFF TO UNDERSTAND AND TO KNOW THAT YOU GUYS ARE EXPERTS AT WHAT YOU DO.

YOU HAVE ALL THE BACKGROUND, YOU HAVE ALL THE TRAINING, YOU HAVE ALL THE EXPERTISE, AND I'M SPEAKING FOR MYSELF.

IF I STAYED IN THIS JOB 20 YEARS, I WOULD NOT HAVE THE EXPERTISE THAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL JOBS.

SO WHEN I'M ASKING YOU QUESTIONS, IT'S NOT BECAUSE I'M CHALLENGING YOU, IT'S BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND.

AND SO AS I TELL PEOPLE.

I DID HIRE ED FOR 40 YEARS, AND I GUARANTEE YOU THAT YOU COULD NOT STEP INTO THAT ROLE AND DO THE DEAN OF STUDENTS LIKE I DID.

AND SO ALL I'M ASKING IS FOR YOU TO GIVE A LITTLE GRACE AND JUST BE PATIENT WITH ME.

AND I'M NOT SPEAKING FOR ANYBODY ELSE.

SO Y'ALL COULD JUST DO THAT FOR ME, BECAUSE I AM GOING TO ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS.

AND I DON'T MEAN FOR THEM TO SOUND I DON'T WANT YOU TO BE DEFENSIVE.

JUST TAKE IT AS I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

HERTA AND ME AND ME AND ME AND ME STOPPED HERE.

BUT I THINK THAT'S. I WOULD SAY MY TEAM HAS ALWAYS OPENED DURING QUESTIONS AND BEING AVAILABLE, YOU KNOW, TO MAKE SURE, YOU KNOW, THE ANSWER IS. YEAH.

THANKS, JOANNE. I'LL BRING THIS ALL FULL CIRCLE.

AND AGAIN, WELCOME TO PUBLIC WORKS.

WE'RE GLAD YOU'RE ALL WITH US TODAY, AS ALWAYS.

SAM IS IN CHARGE OF FRESH COFFEE TODAY, SO GOOD LUCK.

BUT IT IS GOOD FRESH COFFEE.

AND IF YOU NEED A COFFEE CUP, THERE'S PLENTY OUT THERE.

PLEASE HELP YOURSELF. MAKE SURE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE AT HOME.

IF YOU NEED SOMETHING, JUST LET ANY ONE OF US KNOW AND WE'LL MAKE SURE YOU GET SOME ACCOMMODATION AND MAKE SURE YOU GET THE FULL SPRAY FROM THE WOMEN'S BATHROOM.

STAND RIGHT IN FRONT OF THAT LITTLE NOT FIXED DISTANCE BARRIERS IN THE WOMEN'S RESTROOM.

APPARENTLY, THEY SAY ABOUT THE.

CHILDREN, MEN, AND WOMEN'S RESTROOMS YET TODAY.

AND. I WOULDN'T KNOW.

YEAH. DEPARTMENT HAS SOME AERATORS TO HELP WORK ON THAT TODAY.

SO A COUPLE QUICK THINGS AND I WANT TO JUST START WITH A QUICK STORY.

AND THEN I'M GOING TO BRING IT FULL CIRCLE BACK FOR YOU AS A CITY COUNCIL PERSON AND A MAYOR.

AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS RETREAT AND WHY IT'S SO DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER RETREATS, BUT AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF THE COMMUNITIES PROCESS AND THEN THE EDUCATION THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE TODAY AND THE INFORMATION THAT WE GET TO SHARE REALLY IS A PRIVILEGE.

BUT WE ARE AT A REALLY UNIQUE CROSSROADS AND FLAGSTAFF HISTORY.

[00:15:03]

AND THE TOWN HAD NOT BEEN BECOME INCORPORATED, BUT THEY NEEDED A COMMUNITY WATER SOURCE AND THEY NEEDED WATER FOR THE COMMUNITY.

SO THIS YOUNG MAN ALSO HAD A 14 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AT THE TIME WHO WANTED TO HAVE WATER RECREATION DAMMED UP A LOCAL VALLEY ABOUT FOUR MILES TO THE SOUTHEAST OF HERE, BACKFILLED IT WITH, OF COURSE, RAINWATER SNOWMELT.

AND THAT BECAME A LAKE.

THAT PIPELINE CAME INTO THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF, PROVIDED THE TOWN WITH ITS WATER FOR ITS MILL AND ITS INDUSTRIAL OPERATIONS.

AS WE BECAME A CITY, ABOUT 2000 RESIDENTS LIVED IN FLAGSTAFF AT THAT TIME THAT TIM REARDON HAD BUILT.

LAKE MARY NAMED IT AFTER HIS 14 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER MARY, AND AT THAT TIME IT WAS FLAGSTAFF'S PRIMARY SOURCE OF DRINKING WATER, AS IT STILL IS TODAY FOR SURFACE WATER.

SO WHEN YOU START TO THINK BACK IN TIME, EARLY 1900S, WE HAVE HAD A LEGACY OF ESTABLISHING LOTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS FROM THE CAPITAL SIDE OF THE HOUSE.

SO WHEN TIM REARDON HAD THIS IMAGE OF BUILDING A LAKE FOR HIS DAUGHTER TO BE ABLE TO SAIL IN FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA, IT ALSO PROVIDED A COMMUNITY WITH WHAT WAS REALLY THE FIRST ESTABLISHMENT OF FORMALIZED MUNICIPAL WATER.

NOW I SHARE THAT STORY BECAUSE I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT, AS A COUNCIL MEMBER, FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND YOUR ROLE IN THOSE ACTIVITIES.

THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT TAKE ON EVERY CAPITAL PROJECT, WHETHER IT'S A WATER TREATMENT PLANT, AN AIRPORT PROJECT, A BUILDING ROADWAY.

HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE INVOLVED AND THEY ARE TECHNICAL EXPERTS.

THEY ARE PROCUREMENT EXPERTS, THEY ARE FINANCE EXPERTS.

BUT YOU HAVE AN IMPORTANT ROLE BECAUSE YOU SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE COMMUNITY.

WHAT DO YOU WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE? WHERE DO YOU WANT IT TO GO? HOW DO YOU WANT THE COMMUNITY TO BE SHAPED INTO THE FUTURE? AND I THINK THAT IS THE ONE PIECE THAT I WOULD ADVISE YOU TODAY IS YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE ALL OF THIS INFORMATION, BECAUSE IT IS REALLY THE CULMINATION OF COUNCIL'S PRIOR AND COUNCIL'S FUTURE, AND IT'S KIND OF THIS CONTINUAL PATH ON DELIVERY.

NOTHING WILL BE DONE IN ONE TERM, WHICH IS ALWAYS DIFFICULT AND FRUSTRATING, BUT YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT, THAT THERE WILL BE A FUTURE COUNCIL THAT WILL END UP INHERITING SOME OF YOUR MOST CHALLENGING PROJECTS.

SPEAKING FROM MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, I HANDED YOU A COUPLE REALLY HARD ONES AND YOU'RE WORKING THEM THROUGH THEM AND WE CONTINUE TO WORK THROUGH THEM AS A COMMUNITY.

IN MY TENURE ON COUNCIL, I SAW FIRE FOR FIRE STATIONS, BUILT A RUNWAY EXPANSION, AN AQUAPLEX, THE FIRST FOURTH STREET BRIDGE OVER THE RAILROAD TRACKS, AND LOTS OF ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.

YOU ALL WILL BE ABLE TO LOOK BACK AT YOUR TENURE AND BE REALLY PROUD OF THE THINGS YOU DELIVER AND BE A PART OF, BUT I HAVE TO REMIND YOU, IT IS THE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT WILL SUPPORT THAT EFFORT, SUPPORT THAT MISSION.

AND TODAY YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM LOTS OF THOSE TECHNICAL PROFESSIONALS WITH LOTS OF GOOD IMAGERY, LOTS OF GOOD INFORMATION.

WE WANT YOU TO ABSORB IT.

WE WANT YOU TO ASK QUESTIONS, AND WE WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS TRULY IS THE COMMUNITY ROLLOUT OF WHAT WE DO EVERY YEAR.

SOME ARE BIGGER, SOME ARE SMALLER.

BUT TAKE THE TIME, ASK THE QUESTIONS, ENGAGE WITH US.

WE HAVE ALL OF THE TECHNICAL EXPERTS, EITHER WITH US IN THE ROOM OR ONLINE, AND WE'RE HERE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS AND GET YOU ALL OF THE TALKING POINTS YOU NEED.

I DO WISH WE COULD GO BACK TO 1904, THOUGH, BECAUSE I THINK TIM HAD IT EASY.

HE JUST BUILT THE DAM AND BUILT THE LAKE.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE COULD DO IT ANYMORE TODAY.

BUT IT MUST HAVE BEEN FUN FOR YOU AND A FEW OTHER ITEMS. BUT HAVE A GOOD DAY TODAY! I THINK THERE'S LUNCH PROBABLY AROUND LUNCHTIME.

WE'LL HAVE A BREAK BUILT IN HERE.

WE'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU AND JOANNE WILL KIND OF KEEP TRACK OF TRACKING US, BUT GENERALLY PRESENTERS WILL KIND OF KEEP THE PACE AND WE'VE RUN THIS A COUPLE TIMES, SO IT WILL BE A SMOOTH DAY. I WOULD ASSUME, AS LONG AS WE'RE DONE BEFORE THE U OF A GAME STARTS.

YEAH, YEAH. IS THAT THE TIME? IS TODAY? 11 A.M.? NO. I'M JOKING. DOUBLE TIME.

I THINK WE'RE FINE. WE GIVE UP ON THIS TV.

YEAH. SO JUST A JUST THE PLAN FOR THE DAY.

SO WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO THE COLOR OF MONEY.

UPDATE FROM MARTY DONAHUE WITH FINANCE.

AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO OUR GENERAL GOVERNMENT UPDATES.

WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO STREETS, WHICH SHOULD BE A PRETTY QUICK UPDATE.

AND THEN WE'VE SPLIT UP TRANSPORTATION, ALL OF OUR ROADWAY AND THEN HEAD OVER THE LUNCH HOUR.

SO WE'LL START WITH IT.

WE'LL HAVE LUNCH AND THEN COME BACK.

SO I THINK IT'LL GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY IF YOU DO HAVE QUESTIONS TO BE ABLE TO ASK THOSE QUESTIONS.

WE'LL GO INTO BEAUTIFICATION ARTS AND SCIENCE AND PROS AIRPORT AND THEN WE'LL TAKE A BREAK.

AND THEN AFTER THAT BREAK, WE'LL COME BACK AND DO SOLID WASTE WATER.

AND THEN AFTER THAT, THERE'LL BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO THROUGH THE, THE CIP, WHICH WAS INCLUDED IN YOUR, YOUR PACKET AND TALK ABOUT LONGER TERM PRIORITIES.

THE CITY MANAGER. SO MARTY I THINK YOU'RE YOU'RE UP SCOTT.

JOANNE. THANKS.

GREAT, SCOTT, BUT EVERYONE MUST TELL US A STORY BEFORE THEY PRESENT.

[00:20:05]

SWAGIT MAYOR.

I GUESS MY STORY IS I'VE BEEN IN THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF FOR EIGHT YEARS, BUT MY WIFE, WHO IS ALSO A MEMBER OF THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF AND THE HOUSING DEPARTMENT, HAS BEEN BORN AND RAISED HERE IN CITY FLAGSTAFF.

SO IN OUR FAMILY THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF IS VERY CLOSE TO OUR HEARTS.

AS YOU COULD. SO I'M JUST GOING TO KIND OF MOVE ALONG THROUGH.

JOANNE GAVE A BRIEF AGENDA.

AND THEN WE HAD OUR WELCOME ALREADY.

SO I'LL GO INTO OVERVIEW AND THE COLOR OF MONEY.

SO WHAT IS THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM? MULTI-YEAR PLANNING AND PROGRAMING FOR OUR CONSTRUCTION AND LONG TERM ACQUISITION.

I MEAN OUR HIGH COST ACQUISITION PROJECTS IT INCLUDES PROJECTS ADOPTED DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS FOR A LONG RANGE STUDY OF CONSTRUCTION AND ACQUISITION OF HIGH COST ASSETS WITH A USEFUL LIFE GREATER THAN FIVE YEARS.

THEY'RE NEEDED TO, YOU KNOW, TO ADEQUATELY FINANCE, DESIGN, PLAN, BUDGET, AND IMPLEMENT CONSTRUCTION AND ACQUISITION PROJECTS.

OFTEN LARGE CAPITAL PROJECTS ARE PART OF BALLOT INITIATIVES.

SO THEY'RE VERY IMPORTANT TO OUR CITY AND ALL OUR VOTING MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY.

AND BUT THEY DO NOT INCLUDE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PROJECTS.

SO WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF DOING A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND REALLY LOOKING AT ALL OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS HOLISTICALLY INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ONE, ONE PROJECT AT A TIME? THE FIRST ADVANTAGE IS CASH MANAGEMENT CAPABILITIES.

BY REVIEWING THE SOURCES AND USES OF THE FUNDS ON A CAPITAL, ON A PROJECT BASIS, AND WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF THE ENTIRE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN.

AS WELL AS THE RELATED CASH FLOWS, WE CAN MAXIMIZE OUR INVESTMENT EARNINGS AND OUR CASH FLOWS.

SO THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AS WELL AS WE LOOK AT OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FROM A DEBT MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE, WHICH ALLOWS US FOR PLANNING OF FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS IN THE DEBT REPAYMENT SCHEDULE TO ALLOW FOR CURRENT AND FUTURE NEEDS RELATIVE TO DEBT SERVICE CAPACITY.

I'M SURE EVERYONE ON CITY COUNCIL WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ALL PAYING ALL OUR DEBTS.

THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT, AND LOOKING AT IT HOLISTICALLY GIVES US THE BEST OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE REACH ALL OUR OBLIGATIONS.

AND THE LAST ITEM ON THIS SLIDE IS EXPENDITURE CONTROLS, THAT FUNDS ARE EXPENDED AS INTENDED.

AND THE APPROPRIATION BECOMES THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT BUDGET.

SO WE APPROACH WE APPROPRIATE THESE MONIES AND THEN THEY BECOME HOW WE TRACK THE PROJECT THROUGH ITS LIFE.

AND THE LAST TWO ITEMS THAT KIND OF BENEFITS OF LOOKING AT THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM HOLISTICALLY IS IT PROVIDES A BUDGETARY CONTROLS, OPERATING CASH FLOW PROJECTIONS AS A CHECK AND BALANCE ON THE PROGRESS OF A PROJECT, BOTH IN TERMS OF THE TIME SCHEDULE.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR ALL OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS ARE DONE IN A VERY TIMELY BASIS SO AS TO USE OUR MONIES AS RESPONSIBLY AS POSSIBLE.

AND WITH THE SECOND POINT, MINIMIZE DISRUPTION TO OUR CITIZENS.

I KNOW WE ALL LOVE THESE ROAD PROJECTS, AND ONE THINGS THAT WE LIKE TO KEEP IN MIND IS THESE ROAD PROJECTS.

AND ALL THE DIFFERENT PROJECTS ON OUR CITY HAVE GREAT BENEFITS, BUT THEY ALSO CAN CAUSE SOME BURDENS TO OUR CITIZENS, ESPECIALLY WITH, YOU KNOW, TRAFFIC OR JUST, YOU KNOW, NOT BEING ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, WALK YOUR FAVORITE ROUTE.

SO WE LIKE TO KEEP THIS ALL IN MIND WHEN WORKING ON OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

AND THEN THIS IS KIND OF JUST A GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE DIFFERENT OPTIONS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT TODAY.

SO WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THE GENERAL FUND, THE LIBRARY FUND, THE PARKING DISTRICT FUND, CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDS INCLUDING NON GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND PROJECTS AS WELL AS GEO BOND PROJECTS.

WITH SOME OTHER ITEMS WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT.

WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT STREETS, WHICH INCLUDES HER, AND THEN AS WELL AS OUR TRANSPORTATION TASK TAX PROJECTS AND B-B-B, OUR BED BOARD AND BEVERAGE TAX, INCLUDING BEAUTIFICATION, ARTS AND SCIENCES, RECREATION.

AND THEN SOME OF OUR ENTERPRISE ARE SO SOLID WASTE AIRPORT AND WATER SERVICES.

NOW YOU ASK YOURSELF, WHAT IS THE COLOR OF MONEY? AND IT'S NOT THE 1986 FILM WITH TOM CRUISE.

[00:25:02]

IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF SLIDES, I'LL GO OVER WHAT ALL THESE FUNDS ARE, BUT BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THESE MONEY BAGS BECAUSE THEY'LL TELL YOU THE FUNDING SOURCE FOR THESE PROJECTS. SO FIRST OF ALL, WE HAVE THE GENERAL FUND.

IT ACCOUNTS FOR THE REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES USED TO FINANCE TRADITIONAL SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH THE MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT THAT ARE NOT ACCOUNTED FOR IN OTHER FUNDS, AND MOST REVENUES ARE UNRESTRICTED.

WE THINK OF THESE FUNDS AS POLICE, FIRE, FINANCE.

THE DIFFERENT ITEMS THAT ARE THE BASE OPERATIONS OF OF THE CITY.

AND THE SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS ARE USED TO ACCOUNT FOR REVENUES DERIVED FOR SPECIFIC TAXES OR OTHER EARMARKED REVENUE SOURCES.

I'M AN ACCOUNTANT FOR HERFF, WHICH IS A SPECIAL REVENUE FUND THAT RECEIVES FUNDING THROUGH THE STATE.

AND THEN DEBT SERVICE FUNDS ARE USED TO ACCOUNT FOR THE ACCUMULATION OF RESOURCES AND PAYMENTS OF LONG TERM DEBT.

THESE FUNDS ARE TO SHARE THAT WE FULLY PAY ALL THE OBLIGATIONS THAT THE CITY HAS MADE.

THE LAST TWO FUNDS ARE CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDS USED TO ACCOUNT FOR MAJOR CAPITAL ACQUISITIONS SEPARATE FROM ONGOING OPERATIONS.

ONE EXAMPLE OF THIS FUND IS OUR NEW DOWNTOWN MILE FUND.

TO HELP SUPPORT THOSE LARGE CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF THE NORMAL OPERATION.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST IS THE ENTERPRISE FUNDS.

THESE ARE SELF-SUPPORTING SELF-SUPPORTING THROUGH USER FEES.

SOME EXAMPLES OF THESE ARE SUSTAINABILITY, THE AIRPORT WATER SERVICES, SOLID WASTE.

THAT IS MY LAST LINE.

SO IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS? BEFORE I TOSS IT OVER TO CJ.

I JUST I APPRECIATE THAT YOU ALL DO THIS AT EVERY RETREAT BECAUSE IT'S IT'S GOOD TO BE REMINDED OF HOW EVERYTHING IS PAID FOR, EVEN THOUGH.

YOU KNOW IT. SOMETIMES IT SLIPS TO THE BACK OF OUR MINDS.

SO. THANK YOU.

AGREED? SURE. COUNCIL MEMBER MCCARTHY.

I UNDERSTAND HOW LIKE THE WATER IS A ENTERPRISE FUND.

YOU KNOW, IT TAKES IN MONEY AND IT SPENDS MONEY.

BUT SUSTAINABILITY, THAT'S AN ENTERPRISE FUND.

SUSTAINABILITY RECEIVES PART OF THE BLINKING ON THE WATER.

SO THEY'RE PAID FOR ON THE WATER BILL.

ESSENTIALLY, YES. THERE'S AN ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT FEE AS PART OF YOUR WATER BILL.

RIGHT. AND SO THEY'RE FUNDED THROUGH THAT FEE.

THAT'S ON OUR UTILITY BILL.

AND THEY DON'T REALLY TAKE MONEY FROM THE GENERAL FUND.

IS THAT CORRECT? NO.

NOT NECESSARILY.

JUMP IN. SURE. AND THANK YOU SO MUCH.

IT'S A IT'S A REALLY GOOD QUESTION.

AND I WAS GOING TO MAKE THE COMMENT IN YOUR QUESTION NOW IS A NICE SEGUE TO IT.

OUR ENTERPRISE FUNDS AND WE RATTLED OFF A FEW OF THEM.

I WOULD ADD TO THAT LIST ALSO THE LIBRARY AND PERHAPS OTHERS, BUT SOME OF THEM HOLD TRUE TO BEING SELF-SUSTAINING FINANCIALLY AND DON'T REQUIRE A LOT OF ASSISTANCE FROM OTHER FUNDS.

OTHERS. THAT'S NOT THE CASE.

YOU KNOW RIGHT NOW WITH LIBRARY AND AIRPORT AND WITH SOME OF THE PROJECTS WE'RE LOOKING AT WITH WATER SERVICES.

AND COUNCIL KNOWS THIS FIRSTHAND FROM RECENT DISCUSSIONS.

WE CAN'T DO IT ALL.

INTERNALLY WITH.

WITH THAT PARTICULAR FUND, HELP IS NEEDED.

ALONG THE WAY.

WE PURSUE GRANTS.

WE LOOK FOR DIRECT ASSISTANCE FROM STATE AND FEDERAL, AND SOMETIMES THERE ARE TRANSFERS OF MONEY OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND SOMETIMES.

SO ENTERPRISE STATUS WE ALWAYS STRIVE TO HOLD TRUE TO IT, BUT THERE ARE TIMES WHERE WHERE THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE. DOES THAT HELP? YEAH. AND THEN THE COMMENT ABOUT THERE'S A SPECIFIC FEE ON THE UTILITY BILL THAT SUPPORTS SUSTAINABILITY, CORRECT? YES.

AND IT WASN'T THAT THE 52,000 THAT NICOLE WAS REFERRING TO, THOSE ONGOING PROJECTS LIKE OUR COMPOSTING AND STUFF, THAT WAS THE CARVE OUT BUDGET THAT SHE WAS REFERRING TO THAT COMES FROM THE ENTERPRISE, THE COLLECTION OF MONIES OUT OF OUR WATER BILL, WHICH IS NOT CLEARLY THE WHOLE PROJECT OF SUSTAINABILITY BECAUSE THEY DO MUCH GRANDER THINGS.

AND THAT GOT GRANT MONEY AND OTHER MONIES, RIGHT? CORRECT. AND RIGHT ON CUE.

RICK TADDER IS CHATTING, RICK.

YOU WANT TO EITHER RICK OR RANDY.

ANYBODY FROM FINANCE WANT TO JUMP IN AND GIVE SOME FURTHER CONTEXT TO THIS?

[00:30:04]

YEAH, LET ME JUST KEEP TALKING ABOUT THAT.

GOOD MORNING. YEAH.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT FEE IS BASED ON SERVICES ON OUR MUNICIPAL BILL.

SO IT'S A CALCULATED PERCENTAGE OF SERVICES THAT CUSTOMERS GET FROM THE CITY THROUGH THEIR WATER, TRASH RECLAIM AND SO FORTH.

BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF SERVICES RECEIVED, THEY EACH CUSTOMER PAYS A DIFFERENT AMOUNT INTO THE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT FEE AND SUPPORTS SUSTAINABILITY FOR A LOT OF THE PROJECTS THAT WERE MENTIONED JUST A LITTLE BIT AGO.

BUT THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THE DISCUSSION.

THANK YOU ACTUALLY.

AND BRINGING ANYTHING TO ADD TO THIS.

YEAH. AS CITY MANAGER CLIFTON WAS SHARING THERE ARE SOME CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE WE HAVE WHERE WE ARE USING OTHER RESOURCES TO SUPPORT OUR ENTERPRISE FUNDS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT, ARE NOT ABLE TO HANDLE SOME OF OUR LARGER CAPITAL PROJECTS OR OTHER NEEDS, LIKE SOME COSTS RELATED TO SUSTAINABILITY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO SOME OF OUR COST RELATED TO CARBON NEUTRALITY.

WE HAVE THE GENERAL FUND HELP SUPPORT THAT.

YOU KNOW, STORM WATER, WE WERE, YOU KNOW, LUCKILY WE GOT THAT $9.8 MILLION APPROPRIATION FROM THE STATE TO HELP SUPPORT STORM WATER.

THOSE ARE JUST A COUPLE EXAMPLES OF HOW SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO SUPPLEMENT THOSE FUNDS WITH ADDITIONAL RESOURCES.

BUT THE DIFFERENCE IS THERE'S A THERE'S AN ANNUAL FOR EVERY DIVISION.

THERE'S THE ANNUAL BUDGETED AMOUNT THAT THEY KNOW THAT THEY'RE GOING TO GET.

BUT OTHER FUNDS ARE ANNUAL ASKS THAT THEY HAVE TO MAKE.

THERE IS. YEP. SO EVERYBODY HAS A BASE BUDGET, AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL.

THAT IS AN ONGOING COST OF THEIR BUDGET.

WE HAVE THAT FUNDED IN THE 510 YEAR PLANS.

BUT THEN WHEN PEOPLE WANT OR DIVISIONS WANT BUDGET ABOVE AND BEYOND THAT, THAT'S WHEN THEY ASK AND WE GO THROUGH THE BUDGET PROCESS TO REVIEW THOSE ITEMS. BECAUSE IDEALLY WE WE WANT TO DO SO MUCH FOR OUR CITIES THAT, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES OUR NEEDS OUTGROWS OUT OUTPACE THE FEES THAT WE CHARGE.

YOU KNOW, WE ALL SEEK TO BETTER OUR CITIES.

YEAH. GREAT COMMENTS.

AND THEN AN EXAMPLE OF ONE FUND WHERE WE ARE TAKING MEASURES TO MAKE IT MORE SUSTAINABLE AND MORE TRUE TO THE ENTERPRISE STATUS AND COUNCIL JUST APPROVED THIS A WEEK AGO WITH THE 32 ACRE PARCEL APPROVAL.

HUGE. AS WE NOTED DURING THE THE AGENDA ITEM THAT NIGHT.

MONUMENTAL. IT'S BEEN ON THE TABLE FOR YEARS AND YEARS, AND WE JUST GOT THAT OVER THE FINISH LINE.

THANK YOU, COUNCIL, FOR THAT.

EVENTUALLY THAT THE LEASE RENTS FROM THAT PARCEL, WELL, IT WILL GO RIGHT TO THE AIRPORT FUND AND FURTHER THAT THAT PROCESS OF HELPING IT BECOME A TRUE ENTERPRISE.

IF. THANKS, MARTY.

I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU.

C.J., YOU'RE UP.

ONE MORE SLIDE TO GO OVER.

THAT'S IT. OKAY.

SO I JUST WANTED TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR FIBER PROJECTS.

CITY COUNCIL HAS BEEN GIVING US FUNDING FOR FIBER FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

AS WE UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, BROADBAND IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF SERVING OUR COMMUNITY.

I CAN'T REALLY TALK A WHOLE LOT ABOUT THIS, EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT WE HAVE AN SOC OUT.

WE'VE GOT SOME RESPONDENTS IN AND WE'RE CURRENTLY IN EVALUATION.

AND DUE TO PROCUREMENT RULES, I CAN'T GO INTO MUCH GREATER DETAIL THAN THAT, BUT WE'RE REALLY HOPEFUL THAT THROUGH THIS PROCESS, WE WILL BE ABLE TO BRING ADDITIONAL SERVICE PROVIDERS TO FLAGSTAFF AS WELL AS MEET THE INTERNAL NEEDS OF THE CITY IN RELATION TO CONNECTION OF OUR FACILITIES AND ALL OF THAT.

SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE'RE DOING IN RELATION TO THIS.

BEYOND THAT, WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON A COUPLE SMALL PROJECTS CONNECTING CITY HALL DOWN TO SOME OF OUR EXISTING FIBER INFRASTRUCTURE ON BUTLER, AS WELL AS NOW TO BE A MORE COLLABORATIVE PARTNER.

AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY OUR ISP.

THEY PROVIDE ALL OF OUR INTERNET SERVICE RIGHT NOW.

SO AND IT ALSO PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES IN THE FUTURE FOR LIKE RESEARCH AND THINGS LIKE THAT AND COLLABORATION BETWEEN US AND NEW THIS PROCESS TO IS WITH THE SOC, WE HAVE COMMUNITY PARTNER INVOLVEMENT IN THAT AS WELL.

SO IT'S A VERY COLLABORATIVE PROCESS.

THAT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL I HAVE.

YEAH. AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS DIRECTLY RELATED, BUT I KNOW WHEN OUR INTERNET SERVICE GOES DOWN AT THE CITY, IT'S BECAUSE OF.

SATELLITES OR WHATEVER ON THE MOUNTAIN.

[00:35:04]

SO IF THAT GOES DOWN, THERE'S A CERTAIN SUBSET OF FACILITIES THAT WILL GO DOWN.

EACH ANTENNA GOES DOWN.

IF WE'RE COMPLETELY SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING FIBER TO ALL OF OUR FACILITIES, THAT WILL BECOME OUR BACKUP PLAN, NOT OUR PRIMARY CONNECTION TO WHERE I WAS GOING WITH THAT.

YEAH. SO, YEAH, THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF PART OF WHAT THIS IS TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH.

IT'S NOT A QUESTION THAT'S SEPARATE FROM THE ROCK, BUT ON THE SAME TOPIC, HOW DO WE ISSUE UNIFORM VIDEO SERVICE LICENSE AGREEMENTS.

SO I CAN ONLY GO INTO THAT IN A LITTLE BIT.

SMALL DETAIL. THAT'S A MORE QUESTION FOR LEE.

BASICALLY THE STATE HAS A REQUIRES ALL OF US TO OFFER THOSE TYPES OF LICENSES.

SO WE HAVE A STANDARDIZED LICENSE THAT'S KIND OF BASED ON THE STATE STANDARD THAT ANYONE PROVIDING VIDEO SERVICES AS PART OF THEIR KIND OF INTERNET.

SO YOU THINK CABLE PROVIDERS STARTED AS CABLE PROVIDERS AND THEN BECAME INTERNET PROVIDERS LATER? THERE'S A STANDARDIZED FORM THAT THEY FILL OUT.

THEY CAN SUBMIT A LICENSE.

USUALLY THAT STARTS THROUGH DAVID MILLER'S OFFICE IS WHERE I WOULD USUALLY POINT SOMEONE LIKE THAT TO.

BUT ALSO IT GOES TO OUR LEGAL DEPARTMENT AS WELL.

OKAY, GREAT.

SO DAVID MILLS IS THE PERSON TO CONTACT AND IS THERE THE APP IS THE APPLICATION ON THE WEBSITE OR WOULD THEY NEED TO CONTACT.

I WOULD START BY CONTACTING DAVID MILLS AND.

YEAH. ANYA, ALSO ILLEGAL HAS THAT FORM OF WORSHIP.

BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO SAY YOU WANTED TO TALK TO ANYA, ALSO.

MAYOR. SHE LEAD ON THAT? THANK YOU. BUT THAT PROCESS DOES NOT RUN THROUGH MY DEPARTMENT.

SO I GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION I HAVE.

THAT'S ALL I NEEDED. PERFECT.

THAT'S GREAT. I HAVE A QUESTION.

HOW COME THAT MICROPHONE IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM IS NOT WORKING? SO RIGHT NOW THE WAY THIS ROOM IS CURRENTLY SET UP IS WHEN WE COMPLAIN, IT DEFAULTS TO THIS AS THE PRIMARY MICROPHONE SO IT DOESN'T PICK UP COMMENTING AND HAVING CHATTER IN THE MEETING.

SO WE AS A, AS A PURPOSEFUL THOUGHT IT HAS THE CAPABILITY TO HAVE THAT MICROPHONE WORK.

AND I'D LOVE TO GET STAFF'S OPINION ON WHETHER THEY WANT THEIR COMMENTS.

HEARD I DON'T KNOW THAT WE WANT TO HEAR THEIR.

YEAH. NO, THAT IS THE REASON WHY.

THANK YOU. SITUATIONS.

CJ THANKS YOU.

THANKS CJ. MORNING, DAN MUSSELMAN.

I SERVE AS YOUR POLICE CHIEF HERE.

OUR REQUEST THROUGH ONE OF OUR MANY REQUESTS THROUGH BUDGET.

THIS WAS KIND OF OUR CAPSTONE REQUEST WAS TO BUILD AN ADDITION TO THE LEAF CAMPUS.

ADDITIONAL BUILDING.

THIS BUILDING WOULD BE 12,000FT² AT A PRICE TAG OF CURRENTLY OF 4.5 MILLION.

WHAT OUR GOAL WITH THIS BUILDING IS WE HAVE SEVERAL EXPENSIVE VEHICLES THAT WE'D LIKE TO SECURE OUT OF THE WEATHER.

OUR SWAT TRUCK. OUR BOMB TRUCK.

THE INCIDENT COMMAND VEHICLE.

AND THIS BUILDING WOULD HAVE FOUR INDUSTRIAL BAYS FOR EACH OF THOSE BUILDINGS FOR EACH OF THOSE VEHICLES.

AND THEN THE FOURTH BAY WOULD BE A SEARCH WARRANT BAY FOR, SAY, A OFTEN WE DO SEARCH WARRANTS ON VEHICLES.

IT'S NICE TO GET THOSE VEHICLES OUT OF THE WATER WHILE YOU'RE DOING A SEARCH WARRANT AND HELPS US WITH CHAIN OF CUSTODY.

FROM A POLICE STANDPOINT, THAT WOULD BE THE BOTTOM FLOOR OF THIS BUILDING.

THE TOP STORY WOULD BE WOULD INCLUDE A KITCHENETTE, LOCKERS, AND 4 TO 6 ROOMS WITH BUNKS TO ALLOW OFFICERS TO STAY THE NIGHT.

OFTEN THE CITY IS HIT WITH INCLEMENT WEATHER.

WE'VE GOT A HANDFUL OF OFFICERS THAT LIVE IN WINSLOW AND WILLIAMS. WHEN I-40 SHUTS DOWN, THEY END UP SLEEPING ON SOMEONE ELSE'S COUCH OR IN THEIR CAR OUT IN THE PARKING LOT, SO THIS WOULDN'T BE PERMANENT HOUSING FOR THEM.

THIS WOULD JUST BE, HEY, LET'S GO AHEAD AND STAY THE NIGHT.

OR THE OTHER SCENARIO WOULD BE, SAY THEY'RE WORKING A SWING SHIFT, THEY GET OFF AT MIDNIGHT AND THEY HAVE A 7:45 IN THE MORNING.

I HAVE NO SENSE IN HAVING A TWO HOUR COMMUTE JUST TO BE BACK AT 8:00 IN THE MORNING.

SO WE'D ALLOW THEM TO ELECTRONICALLY CHECK OUT THESE ROOMS AND STAY THE NIGHT.

THE CITY DOES NOT QUITE HAVE THE 4.5 MILLION TO PUT TOWARDS THIS PROJECT, BUT WE WERE APPROVED.

THANK YOU. BUDGET TEAM 250,000 TO START THE DESIGN AND SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

TO MOVE FORWARD.

THEY ALSO APPROVED A HOTEL VOUCHER PROGRAM IN THE CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED BUDGET.

SO IF THAT SCENARIO DOES PLAY OUT WHERE OFFICERS NEED A PLACE TO STAY, WE CAN PUT THEM UP IN A HOTEL RATHER THAN THEM RISK FALLING ASLEEP ON THEIR WAY HOME OR SITTING IN TRAFFIC

[00:40:06]

YES, SIR. YEAH.

THIS IS ALONG SIMILAR LINES OF THINGS I'VE MENTIONED BEFORE ON THE SECOND STORY.

ARE THERE ENTERTAINMENT AMENITIES UP THERE? POOL TABLE? LOUNGE PICKLEBALL COURT, ETC..

WE WE HAVEN'T MET.

YEAH, IT ONLY TOOK A HALF HOUR.

IT'S AN OLD JOKE, BUT THERE WILL BE A MULTI-PURPOSE ROOM TO USE FOR TRAINING.

THE PROBLEM IS, I DON'T WANT PEOPLE UP THERE SHOOTING POOL WHILE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SLEEP.

THE OTHER OPTION WAS, WELL, LET'S MOVE OUR GYM UPSTAIRS.

AND PEOPLE DROPPING WEIGHT SHAKES THE BUILDING.

SO THERE WOULD BE A MULTI-PURPOSE ROOM FOR CERTAIN INCIDENTS, BUT WE HAVEN'T REALLY DEFINED WHAT THAT WILL LOOK LIKE.

OKAY. YEAH, I WOULD HATE TO GET INTO PRESCRIPTIVE MODE ABOUT IT, BUT PLEASE, ON MY BEHALF, FEEL FREE TO TO DO SOMETHING WITH THAT SPACE THAT ALLOWS FOR SOME DOWNTIME, A LOUNGE WITH A COUCH AND A TV, MAYBE, BUT I'M JUST ONE PERSON.

SO IN PROXIMITY TO POLICE STATION.

SO WOULD THAT BE? BUT OVER WHERE THE PARKING LOT IS OR YES, COUNCIL MEMBER MATTHEW.

IT'LL BE ON THE NORTH END OF THE BUILDING.

THERE'S A GRASS PAD THERE.

JUST RIGHT ON THE NORTH END.

JASON TO SAWMILL ROAD.

HE'S. THAT'S WHERE WE'RE LOOKING RIGHT NOW.

AND JUST ONE OF THE THOUGHTS WHEN WE WERE IN BUDGET TEAM WAS TO FUND THE DESIGN AND GET THIS PROJECT SHOVEL READY, AND THEN THE THOUGHT WAS THAT IT WOULD BE A REALLY GOOD REQUEST FOR A CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPEND SPENDING REQUEST, CONGRESSIONAL LEVEL PROJECT.

I ALSO ECHO THOSE COMMENTS.

I THINK IT'S AN EXCELLENT PROJECT.

IN THESE DAYS, WE HAVE MORE OFFICERS.

TO LIVE ELSEWHERE.

I KNOW WE HAVE OUR RESPONSE TIME AND WHEN AND WHEN THEY ARE HERE, THEY NEED TO HAVE THEIR HOUSING SECURED.

THIS IS NOT THAT, BUT WHAT IT DOES ADDRESS IS IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT, WHICH IS LIKE, AS YOU MENTIONED, THOSE SWING SHIFTS, THE TIMES WITH INCLEMENT WEATHER.

KEEPING OUR OFFICERS FRESH, BUT ALSO ENABLING THEM NOT TO DO DRIVES HOME WHEN THEY'RE TIRED OR WHEN THE CONDITIONS AREN'T GREAT.

IT'S A GREAT IDEA SUGGESTION HERE.

WE PROBABLY SHOULD FIND ANOTHER TERM.

OTHER THAN BARRACKS FOR THIS YOU KNOW, YOU CAN COME UP WITH SOMETHING.

I'M. I'M THINKING, LIKE, PENTHOUSE SUITES, BUT.

IN A SIDE SOMETHING OTHER THAN BARRACKS, WHICH KIND OF.

BRINGS ABOUT A MILITARY CONNOTATION, BUT I AGREE.

YEAH. SLEEPING ROOMS. SLEEPING ROOMS. IT COULD BE LIKE YOU COULD MARKET IT AS AN AIRBNB, YOU KNOW, AND RAISE MONEY THAT WAY THAT COME TO FLAGSTAFF, STAY IN LIKE IT.

AIRBNB AND YOU CAN THEY CAN TAKE TOURS OF THE SWAP MOBILE AND THE OTHER THINGS OUT THERE.

BUCKS FOR FIVE MINUTES, THAT SORT OF THING.

OUT OF CURIOSITY, HOW MANY OFFICERS DO WE HAVE THAT DO NOT LIVE IN THE CITY LIMITS? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA? MYSTERIOUS WOULD SAY MORE THAN HALF LIVE OUTSIDE PACIFIC CITY.

WE HAVE A LOT IN DORNEY PARK, BELMONT.

CHINA AREAS.

MY BEST GUESS WOULD BE ABOUT HALF.

AND SO THE RESPONSE TIME IS WHEN THEY'RE ON DUTY, NOT WHEN THEY'RE OFF DUTY.

YEAH. IT'S TWOFOLD.

SO WE REQUIRE EVERYONE TO BE ABLE TO GET TO WORK WITHIN AN HOUR.

SO THE PEOPLE IN WINSLOW ARE REALLY PUSHING IT.

BUT ON A GOOD DAY THEY CAN GET HERE.

RESPONSE TIME ALSO REFERS TO THE AMOUNT OF TIME FROM WHEN YOU MAKE THE CALL TO POLICE DEPARTMENT REQUESTING AN OFFICER TO GET THE OFFICER, GETTING THE OFFICER TO YOUR CALL, BUT THEY'RE ON DUTY, THEN THEY'RE ON DUTY, THEN THEY'RE IN THE CITY ALREADY.

YES, THIS THIS DOES HELP WITH RESPONSE TIME.

SPECIFICALLY, IF THERE'S AN INCIDENT WHERE, SAY, WE HAVE SOMEBODY SHOOTING AT PEOPLE, GETS OUR PEOPLE INTO THAT SWAT TRUCK AND GETS THEM GOING IN THAT DIRECTION A LOT QUICKER. THIS IS WHEN WE STORE THOSE VEHICLES OFF SITE.

TELL ME AGAIN HOW MANY OFFICERS WE HAVE.

WE'RE AUTHORIZED 119.

THING AT ABOUT 101.

RIGHT NOW. HALF OF THEM LIVE OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS.

BE MY BEST GUESS. THAT'S YOUR BEST GUESS.

50 AND.

ONE LAST QUESTION FOR THIS.

AND SO THAT HALF THAT LIVES OUT OF THE CITY LIMITS, OR ANY CHANCE WHICH YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW IF THEY LIVED OUT OF THE CITY LIMITS WHEN WE HIRED

[00:45:07]

THEY MOVE. THE OTHER WAY.

CONTENT. OKAY, GOOD TO KNOW.

YEAH. NO PROBLEM.

I WILL SAY THE.

MORE SENIOR OFFICERS.

MOST OF THE MORE SENIOR OFFICERS DO HAVE PLACE WITHIN.

IT'S, IT'S THE, IT'S THE NEWER ONES THAT.

WELL AND EVEN THAT'S CALCULUS.

SO SOME OF THE BRAND NEW ONES ARE STILL IN APARTMENTS AND WHATNOT THAT DON'T NOT MARRIED AND DON'T HAVE FAMILIES.

THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS.

I HAVE A QUESTION.

COMMENT, CHIEF. ARE YOU GOING TO MISS THESE RETREATS? I WAS JUST SAYING, THIS IS MY LAST CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS RETREAT.

I WILL MISS MY PEOPLE.

I'LL MISS YOU ALL. SORRY TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT, BUT WE ALL TAKE NOTE THAT YOUR RETIREMENT IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER, AND I CAN'T HELP BUT IMAGINE THAT YOU WILL MISS WONDERFUL RETREATS.

AND WE WILL MISS HAVING YOU AT CAMP SO MUCH.

AND I MIGHT JUST COME BACK TO THE BOOTH.

OKAY. OKAY.

NEXT WE HAVE LIBRARY.

THE TELSON.

THAT'S LINDA.

LINE. YOU WANT TO SWITCH IT UP AND GO TO DISTRICT.

WHY DON'T WE DO PARKING DISTRICT FIRST? AND THEN IF LINDA IS ABLE TO JOIN US, WE'LL COME BACK TO THIS.

AND LUCKILY I'M PARKING DISTRICT AS WELL, SO THAT WORKED OUT.

MAYBE YOU CAN SING FOR US AGAIN.

OH, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO STORIES.

TRY TO DO A STORY IN SONG.

YEAH. DO IT. YES.

HOLD ON A SECOND. YEAH, I THINK THAT'S A SYMBOL THAT I'M GOING TO MAKE HIM START DRINKING.

SO WE SHOULD PROBABLY. NO, NO, NO, IT'S ALL GOOD.

I'LL GET BACK TO.

PARKING DISTRICT. AS YOU KNOW, THE PARKING DISTRICT IS ACTUALLY OBLIGATED TO PROVIDE 20% OF ITS FUNDING TOWARDS THE BUILDING OF PARKING WITHIN THE DISTRICT.

I KNOW THIS IS NOT AS FUN AS A SONG AND STUFF, BUT JUST KIND OF ROLLING FORWARD.

WE USED, A 20% COMES OUT OF WHAT'S CALLED THE LOCK BOX.

AND AND THAT 20% HAS ACCUMULATED TO ABOUT $1.5 MILLION, WHICH SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY TO MOST PEOPLE.

BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THE IDEA OF A $20 MILLION PARKING GARAGE, IT'S REALLY NOT THAT MUCH YET, BUT IT IS STILL BUILDING.

PART OF THE REASON IT'S BUILT A LITTLE SLOWER THAN WE ANTICIPATED IS, YOU RECALL DURING COVID, WE ACTUALLY SHUT THE PROGRAM DOWN FOR OVER A YEAR, AND OBVIOUSLY THAT IMPACTED THOSE REVENUES COMING IN.

BUT IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

WHAT'S ALSO INTERESTING, THOUGH, IS THAT WE NO LONGER REALLY THINK OF THIS AS THE RIGHT ANSWER IS TO DO A LARGE PARKING GARAGE THE SIZE OF A BLOCK AND $20 MILLION.

NOW, THE IDEA IS TO FIND WAYS TO PARTNER, POTENTIALLY WITH VARIOUS DEVELOPMENTS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT, TO MAKE SURE THAT PARKING IS ACCESSIBLE IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS AND THAT WE DON'T HAVE THESE LARGE MONOLITHIC PROPERTIES THAT ARE THERE.

SO FOR INSTANCE, THERE IS PARKING.

THAT'S A PART OF A CONVERSATION WITH FLAGSTAFF THE FOUNDATION FOR SENIOR LIVING.

AND ALSO A GARAGE THAT'S PLANNED AS PART OF THE DOWNTOWN CONNECTION CENTER.

WE'VE GOT OUR EYES ON A NUMBER OF OTHER POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE COMING FORWARD.

BUT AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, WE'RE WORKING WITH THE TIMELINES OF THOSE DEVELOPMENTS.

AND SO IT BECOMES SOMEWHAT CHALLENGING TO CREATE THAT FOR OURSELVES.

IT'S PART OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF WORKING WITH THOSE DEVELOPMENTS I SEE THERE, POTENTIALLY.

BUT IT'S PART OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF TRYING TO DO IT AS A PART OF THOSE DEVELOPMENTS DOES PUT US ON THEIR TIMELINE.

RATHER THAN IF WE WERE TRYING TO BUY A PARCEL AND THEN BUILD THAT PARKING GARAGE OURSELF.

BUT IF WE CAN DO IT FOR A LOT LESS THAN $20 MILLION AND SPREAD THAT PARKING OUT THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT, WE STILL FEEL LIKE THAT'S THE RIGHT WAY TO GO.

ANY QUESTIONS? THE OLD COURTHOUSE BUILDING.

AND I'M TRYING TO RECALL HOW THE CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, BUT.

SO. THEIR CONTINUED CONVERSATION ABOUT PARTNERING WITH, YOU KNOW, PARKING DOWN BELOW, HOUSING ABOVE. YES.

ACTUALLY, PART OF THAT REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS THAT WE'RE PUTTING OUT DOES SAY THERE'S ONLY A FEW THINGS THAT WE'RE SAYING ARE.

QUIET, IF YOU WILL. RIGHT.

IN GENERAL, THE DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL WAS CLEAR TO MAKE IT AS FLEXIBLE AS POSSIBLE.

BUT PARKING, IN PART BECAUSE OF THAT CONNECTION TO THE COURTHOUSE AND TO THE PREVIOUS CONVERSATIONS AROUND THE COURTHOUSE PARKING IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE SAYING.

HOW MUCH WILL YOU PROVIDE? SO THEY STILL HAVE FLEXIBILITY WITHIN IT, BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE ASKING HOW CAN YOU PROVIDE PART OF OF OUR CONTRIBUTION TO PARKING IN THE DECK?

[00:50:05]

PART FLAG REVENUE'S PART OF THOSE 1.5 MILLION COULD BE A PART OF THAT PROCESS.

SO PERHAPS PART FLAG BUYS SOME OF THOSE SPACES OR PAYS PART OF THAT COST TO FOR THE PUBLIC PARKING.

THAT'S PART OF WHAT WE'RE HOPING TO HEAR IS IF THEY SAY THEY CAN, THEY CAN DO IT ON THEIR DIME.

OBVIOUSLY, THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING MORE IN THE INTEREST OF THE CITY.

BUT IF THEY NEED US TO PAY, THAT'S OBVIOUSLY PART OF IT AS WELL.

BUT YES, PARKING WILL ALSO BE LIKELY AT THAT LOCATION.

AND I, I REMEMBER RIGHT, THAT WAS THE PROMISE.

YES. THAT WAS OUT THERE IN THE CITY WHEN ALL THIS CAME ABOUT.

YEAH. BOTH FOUNDATION FOR SENIOR LIVING, WHICH IS JUST NORTH OF THE COURTHOUSE.

AND THE OLD COURTHOUSE PROPERTY SHOULD HAVE PARKING THAT RELATES TO THE COURTHOUSE AND TO PROVIDE FOR THE DOWNTOWN DISTRICT BY THE TIME WE'RE ALL SAID AND DONE.

THAT BEING SAID, AGAIN, IT'S ON THE DEVELOPMENT.

IT'S ON SCHEDULES THAT WE DON'T HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OF.

FOUNDATION FOR SENIOR LIVING OBVIOUSLY WAS IN FRONT OF YOU JUST RECENTLY TO RECEIVE SOME FUNDING.

THAT WILL HOPEFULLY GET THEM STARTED WITHIN THIS NEXT YEAR.

THEY'LL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE IF, IF IT ALL WORKS OUT, BECAUSE AT THIS POINT IT'S MORE OF AN INFORMAL AGREEMENT.

BUT WE COULD GET 97 SPACES FROM, FROM THAT PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT.

AND THEN AT THE OLD COURTHOUSE, WE'LL OBVIOUSLY HOPE TO TO ACHIEVE SOME PARKING THERE AS WELL, ALTHOUGH.

WE DO HAVE A SMALLER AREA AS PART OF THE BLOCK, SO TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN MAKE IT VIABLE, WE WE MIGHT HAVE TO CHECK IN ON WHAT NUMBER OF SPACES FIT.

SO GO BACK TO THE DOWNTOWN CONNECTION CENTER.

I THOUGHT I HEARD YOU SAY THAT.

THAT'S A POSSIBILITY FOR PARKING GARAGE.

CORRECT. IS THAT A FIRM? BECAUSE MY UNDERSTANDING WAS REGARDING CIVIC SPACE.

AND THERE'S THERE'S USES.

ALL THOSE USES ARE ON THE PARCEL AS CURRENTLY DESIGNED.

RIGHT. SO, SO THE WAY THE DOWNTOWN I DON'T HAVE A VISUAL FOR THIS AND MY APOLOGIES FOR THAT.

BUT THE WAY THE DESIGN FOR THE CURRENT PROJECT WORKS IS THERE'S BUS BUILDING, WHICH IS GOING TO BE AWESOME BECAUSE WE HAVE ART AND BEAUTIFICATION GOING INTO IT, AND THEN THE ACTUAL PLACES WHERE THE BUSSES COME IN, WHICH HAS A NAME THAT IS TERMINAL, BUT THAT'S NOT QUITE RIGHT.

ANYWAYS, WHERE THE BUSSES ARE THEN CIVIC SPACE, WHICH WILL ALSO HAVE ART, AND SOME OTHER PIECES AS WELL.

BUT NORTH OF ALL THAT.

ACCESSING OFF BEAVER IS IT IS GOING TO BE A SURFACE LOT INITIALLY.

HOPE THAT WE CAN THEN BUILD A PARKING GARAGE ON THAT SURFACE LOT SO IT DOESN'T IMPACT THE CIVIC SPACE.

IS A PART OF THAT DESIGN, AND IT FITS JUST NORTH OF THERE.

AND PART OF THE REASON FOR THAT IS, AS YOU MAY RECALL, BECAUSE WE DID HAVE SOME OF THESE CONVERSATIONS PUBLICLY, WE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSION AROUND THIS IS HOW DO WE FIT ALL THE DIFFERENT USES ON THERE RIGHT NOW, THE DOWNTOWN CONNECTION CENTER PARKING LOT IS THE ONLY OFF STREET PARKING IN THE SOUTH SIDE.

AND SO WHILE WE FIND OTHER PLACES TO PUT PARKING, THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME ABILITY TO TO HAVE CUSTOMERS AND AND BUSINESS PEOPLE AND EMPLOYEES PARKING IN THAT AREA.

SO, SO THERE'S LIKE A THIN SLIVER TO THE NORTH.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE HOW MY HAND IS DOING IT.

THERE'S A SMALL AREA TO THE NORTH THAT IS SURFACE LOT INITIALLY, HOPEFULLY BECOMING A PARKING GARAGE AND THEN THE CIVIC SPACE AND THE BUS AREA.

ADD CONTEXT TO THAT.

YEAH, IT WAS A THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION ON THIS OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

COUNCIL MEMBER. AND WE WE FORGED A COMPROMISE.

THAT REMAINS IN PLACE, AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

AND THAT COMPROMISE SPEAKS TO THE MULTIPLE USES ON THIS PARCEL.

AND IS CERTAINLY RESPECTFUL OF THE NEED AND THE PLAN FOR CIVIC SPACE.

BUT WE COULDN'T FOREGO ALL THE PARKING ON THAT SIDE.

AS DAVE MENTIONED, THERE'S SIGNIFICANT PARKING THERE NOW, I THINK, LIKE 300 SPACES.

YEAH, IT'S IN THE TWO HUNDREDS, BUT YEAH, TWO HUNDREDS.

MOST OF THAT IS GOING TO BE LOST.

AND TO REACH THE COMPROMISE WE DID, WE WE HAD TO GET CREATIVE AND COME UP WITH A WAY TO MAKE SURE THERE IS SOME PARKING THERE. AND IT IT BECOMES PARAMOUNT, NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THE CONNECTION WITH DOWNTOWN, BUT REALLY THE THE CONNECTION CENTER ITSELF WILL, YOU KNOW, IS, IS ENVISIONED THAT THAT COULD BE A BIT OF A PARK AND RIDE FACILITY, A CENTRAL HUB WHERE PEOPLE CAN COME AND.

I GET TO AND FROM WHEREVER THEY WANT TO GO WITHIN THE CITY VIA TRANSIT AND HAVE A CONVENIENT PLACE TO PARK, OR IF THEY'RE ON FOOT OR ON BIKE.

[00:55:01]

THE CREATIVITY WAS TO GO UP WITH A STRUCTURE.

AND COUNCIL AGREED TO THAT.

THE COMMUNITY AGREED TO IT.

WE DID VET IT WITH YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY INVOLVED WITH THE SOUTH SIDE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE PLAN FOR THE CIVIC PLAZA.

WHICH WHICH IS STILL ON THE TABLE.

AND THAT WILL HAPPEN.

IT WILL GO UP OVER THE BUS BAYS IN PART.

BUT SO THEY ARE BEING DESIGNED FOR THIS TO HAPPEN.

AND IN FACT, WE MAY DO SOME LEVEL OF DESIGN OF THIS PROJECT.

IT REMAINS UNFUNDED.

SO THE SURFACE PARKING THAT DAVE MADE REFERENCE TO IS REALLY NOT SIGNIFICANT.

IT'S DOWN AROUND SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 50 AND 75 SPACES.

YEAH, YEAH, IT'S LIKE 62 I THINK SO.

EXACTLY. YEAH. SO THE EVENTUAL, HOPEFULLY THE EVENTUAL CONSTRUCTION OF A FACILITY THAT GOES UP WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL PARKING.

IT'S GOING TO BE IMPERATIVE TO THE SOUTH SIDE COMMUNITY AS WELL.

AS DAVE MENTIONED THERE, THERE ARE NO PUBLIC SPACES RIGHT NOW.

AND THAT BECOMES IMPORTANT DURING THE WINTER TIME ESPECIALLY, YOU KNOW, WE CONTINUE TO HAVE ISSUES WITH ON STREET PARKING IN THE SOUTH SIDE.

AND TO HAVE A BIT OF A RELIEF FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED PARKING BUT CANNOT PARK ON THE STREET, YOU KNOW, THIS THIS COULD BE THAT AS WELL AS EMPLOYEE PARKING AS WELL AS VISITOR PARKING FOR THE DOWNTOWN AREA.

BUT IT'S NOT FREE.

CORRECT? IT WILL NOT BE FREE, BUT IT CAN BE INCENTIVIZED.

YOUR SIDE BENEFIT IS IF WE HAVE THE GARAGE THERE, HOPEFULLY THAT'LL CREATE A SOUND BUFFER FOR THAT CIVIC SPACE.

FROM TRAINS. SHE.

I HAVE A COMMENT AND A QUESTION.

THE COMMENT IS, YOU KNOW, THINKING ABOUT PARK AND RIDE.

IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY PRACTICAL FOR SOMEONE TO RIDE A BICYCLE THERE AND THEN TAKE THE BUS ACROSS TOWN.

SO I HOPE THAT WE INCLUDE A LOT OF BICYCLE PARKING.

THE SITE. AND THEN MY QUESTION IS WE'RE GOING TO GO.

WE HAVE TWO TRAIN TRACKS TO GO THERE.

RIGHT. IT'S GOING TO GO TO THREE.

THE TRACKS KEPT MOVING, TAKING SOME LAND TO THE SOUTH OR TO THE NORTH OF WHERE THE CURRENT TRACKS ARE.

I'M NOT AS FAMILIAR WITH ALL OF THAT.

PERHAPS GREG KNOWS BETTER THAN I.

I THINK I WILL.

I KNOW WE HAVE ENGINEERS IN THE ROOM WITH US.

VIRTUALLY. IT'S TO THE NORTH.

IS IS THE QUICK ANSWER.

THERE WON'T BE ANY ENCROACHMENT ON THE CITY PARCEL BY BNSF TO ACCOMMODATE THIS, I'M FAIRLY CERTAIN, BUT TREVOR MIGHT.

TREVOR. YEAH, I SEE. TREVOR.

TREVOR, DO YOU MIND COMING UP? I KNOW CHRISTY, THE GUY HERE.

YEAH. TREVOR, WHILE YOU'RE COMING UP, I KNOW YOU'LL BE SPEAKING MORE TO THIS LATER ON, BUT IF YOU CAN JUST ADDRESS THE QUESTION AS TO THAT THIRD RAIL, WE MIGHT HAVE IT IN A FUTURE SLIDE AS WELL.

YEAH WE WILL. THE DOWNTOWN.

I CAN WAIT FOR MY ANSWER.

I'LL BE HERE ALL DAY. NO.

WHENEVER. YEAH.

GOOD MORNING. TREVOR HENRY, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ENGINEER.

I WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION TO THE QUESTION.

COULD YOU REPEAT THAT? I COULD FRAME IT FOR YOU.

SURE. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE PARKING AND THE DCC FACILITY IN THE CIVIC PLAZA ON THE PARCEL OF LAND WHERE DCC IS BEING BUILT.

COUNCIL MEMBER MCCARTHY RAISED THE QUESTION OF WHEN BNSF GOES TO THE THIRD RAIL, THERE'LL BE A NEW BRIDGE OVER MILTON AND A NUMBER OF OTHER THINGS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT IN THE DOWNTOWN MILE.

WILL THAT NECESSITATE ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY FROM THE CITY TO THE SOUTH, OR IS IT GOING TO HAPPEN ON EXISTING BNSF RIGHT OF WAY? YEAH. THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION AND CLARIFYING THAT.

SO WHAT WE'LL DO IS THE THIRD RAIL WILL MOVE TO THE NORTH OF THE EXISTING RAILS.

SO THERE WILL BE NOTHING TO THE SOUTH.

EVERYTHING TO THE NORTH IS BNSF PROPERTY DOT PROPERTY.

AND A LITTLE FURTHER TO THE.

REST OF MILTON WILL BE SOME PROPERTY THAT WE WILL HAVE TO NEGOTIATE AS WELL AS BNSF.

SO NOTHING TO THE SOUTH.

EVERYTHING WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTH.

AND IT WON'T IMPACT THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

IT WILL TIE IN TO WHERE BEAVER BEAVER STREET CROSSES THE RAILROADS.

THAT'S WHERE IT'LL TIE IN.

SO IT WON'T AFFECT THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

MAYBE THE VERY SOUTHWEST CORNER WHERE A TRASH DUMPSTER IS.

THAT MIGHT BE THE ONLY THING THAT MIGHT BE IMPACTED.

TO PROTECT THE. SURE.

AND THE OTHER COMMENT I MADE IN CASE YOU WEREN'T LISTENING IS SINCE IT REALLY MAKES SENSE FOR SOMEONE TO TO THE CONVENTION CENTER AND TAKE A BUS ACROSS TOWN. AND A REALLY GOOD WAY TO GET THERE WOULD BE EITHER WALKING NO IMPACT OR BICYCLES.

SO FOR BICYCLES, LET WE NEED TO ASSURE THAT WE HAVE QUITE A BIT OF BICYCLE PARKING.

[01:00:06]

THANK YOU. OKAY, SINCE YOU'RE UP HERE, THIS IS NOT A QUESTION THAT'S ON THE FOREMOST OF MY MIND, BUT IT CAME TO MIND.

I THOUGHT I'D ASK ABOUT IT.

LITTLE KNOWN FACT.

I'M AWARE OF A PRAIRIE DOG COLONY ON THAT CORNER OVER BY THE BRIDGE NORTH OF THE TRACKS.

I GUESS THAT'S BNSF TERRITORY, BUT ARE THERE ARE THERE PLANS FOR RELOCATING THAT PRAIRIE DOG COLONY AS AS THIRD RAIL IS GOING THROUGH OR AS THE BRIDGE IS BEING MADE? JUST CURIOUS.

WE HAVE NOT MADE WE HAVEN'T GONE THAT FAR YET TO LOOK IN TO SEE WHAT'S THERE.

DEFINITELY. WE'LL BE LOOKING AT PRAIRIE DOGS, KIND OF SEEING WHAT, WHAT WE CAN DO THERE.

BUT THAT IS BNSF PROPERTY.

THERE IS A PARK THAT WE HAVE AND THAT WE OPERATE AND MAINTAIN, BUT IT IS PART OF BNSF PROPERTY.

SO WE'LL HAVE TO WORK WITH THEM AND FIGURE OUT WHAT'S LOOK INTO THEIR PROTOCOL FOR THE THREE.

LOCATION OF LIFE AND JUST MAKE SURE WE'RE GOT OUR T'S CROSSED AND OUR I'S DOTTED.

THEY'RE GOOD FOREVER.

THANKS. YEAH, THANK. THERE WERE QUESTIONS ON THE PARKING DISTRICT.

YOU BACK ON? I DON'T SEE HER IN THE.

I JUST GOT AN EMAIL FROM HER.

SHE'S NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT.

THAT'S WHY I CHECKED MY PHONE. MY APOLOGIES.

SO YOU GET STUCK WITH ME? HEIDI'S ALSO UNAVAILABLE, AND HOPEFULLY I'M AN OKAY SUBSTITUTE.

PLEASE DO SO.

THE DOWNTOWN LIBRARY WAS COMPLETED IN FY 23.

HOPEFULLY YOU ALL HAD A CHANCE TO EXPLORE IT AND SEE IT.

IT IS AWARD WINNING AS OF SATURDAY.

VERY EXCITED.

THE AWARD OF DISTINCTION FOR ARIZONA FORWARD WAS RECEIVED BY THIS PROJECT.

SO WE'RE VERY PROUD OF IT.

AND THANKS SO MUCH FOR THAT.

THIS YEAR, A WINDOW PROJECT, THE REPLACEMENT OF ALL THE LIBRARY WINDOWS, WHICH ARE ALMOST 40 YEARS OLD, HAVE HAD SOME STRUGGLES RECENTLY, AND THAT REPLACEMENT IS GOING TO BENEFIT EVERYTHING FROM OUR TEAMS AND THEREFORE OUR CLIMATE IMPACT TO THE FUNCTIONALITY WITHIN THE BUILDING AND THE APPEARANCE.

IT'S A $2 MILLION PROJECT.

SUPER GRATEFUL TO HAVE IT FUNDED.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. QUESTIONS ON THE LIBRARY.

ARE THERE ANY MORE COMMENTS ON THIS? THIS PROJECT? ARE WE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT AGAIN LATER? NO. I AD AND SCOTT I SEE YOU MAKING YOUR WAY AND THE NEXT SLIDE.

SO YEAH. BUT IF YOU CAN TOUCH ON THE WINDOW PROJECT BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF DISCUSSION OF THIS WITH THE BUDGET TEAM AND SCOTT SERVES ON THE BUDGET TEAM AND WE ARE THIS IS AN IMPORTANT TOPIC, I THINK, TO GET IN FRONT OF COUNCIL AND THAT IS STAFFING FOR ALL THESE PROJECTS THIS PROJECT, THE FUNDING OF IT.

AND WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL TO COUNCIL TO I KNOW THE BUDGET'S NOT ADOPTED YET, BUT IS IN THE BUDGET CRITICALLY IMPORTANT PROJECT.

SOME OF THESE WINDOWS, THEY ALL NEED REPLACEMENT.

MOST OF THEM ARE NO LONGER ENERGY EFFICIENT.

SOME OF THEM ARE LEAKING.

IT'S TIME, AND THEY ARE 40 YEARS OLD.

SCOTT, COULD YOU SPEAK AS TO POTENTIAL PROJECT OVERSIGHT OF THIS AND HOW WE ARE GETTING A LITTLE BIT CREATIVE WITH THAT? YEAH, I THINK IT IS AN IMPORTANT TOPIC TO TALK THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT SIDE OF THE HOUSE.

ACTUALLY THROUGHOUT ALL THESE PROJECTS TODAY, AND WE WILL TRY TO COVER THAT AS BEST AS POSSIBLE.

AND IT'S A GOOD SEGUE, BECAUSE THIS PROJECT WE'VE BEEN CHASING SINCE 2019 HAS NOT ALWAYS BEEN FULLY FUNDED.

WE HAD SOME ESCALATION IN WINDOWS, LACK OF ABILITY TO GET THAT PRODUCT.

SO IT'S KIND OF BEEN PUSHED FROM YEAR TO YEAR AS A CARRY FORWARD.

AND THEN CREDIT TO BUDGET, WE FINALLY FIGURED OUT WE HAVE TO FUND IT.

WE HAVE TO PUT ENOUGH MONEY IN THE POT.

LET'S GET THIS RESOLVED AS A PUBLIC FACING FACILITY.

BUT. IT WENT THROUGH OUR FACILITIES ADVISORY PROCESS.

IT WENT THROUGH OUR VETTING.

WE HAVE NO ONE TO DELIVER THE PROJECT, WHICH IS ANOTHER DIFFICULTY BECAUSE YOU FUND IT, YOU STILL HAVE TO HAVE SOMEBODY THAT CAN DO ALL THE PAPERWORK AND ACTUALLY GO ON SITE.

THIS ONE HAS BEEN A CREATIVE COMBINATION.

IF YOU RECALL, ADAM MIHALY, WHO'S ON LINE WITH US, HE USED TO WORK IN PUBLIC WORKS.

HE IS NOW AT THE AIRPORT.

WE'VE ASKED AND I THINK WE'RE GOING TO FIND A WAY TO KIND OF GET ADAM BACK OVER AT THE LIBRARY.

HE WAS PRETTY INSTRUMENTAL IN THIS PROJECT IN THE EARLIER DAYS.

AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO KIND OF LEVERAGE SOME TALENT OUT OF A DIFFERENT DIVISION AGAIN TO COME BACK AND GIVE US SOME ASSISTANCE TO DELIVER THIS.

AND, ADAM, I KNOW YOU'RE AWARE, SO IT SHOULDN'T BE ANY BIG SURPRISE, BUT I THINK IT DOES SHOW AND DEMONSTRATE THE WILLINGNESS OF ALL STAFF TO KIND OF FIGURE OUT A WAY TO DELIVER THINGS WHEN WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY.

BUT THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN IT'S GOING TO BE THE DIRECT OR MOST CLEAR FIT.

THIS HISTORICALLY WOULD HAVE BEEN DELIVERED BY PUBLIC WORKS, PROBABLY, BUT IN A FACILITIES PROGRAM.

[01:05:02]

SO IT DOES SPEAK TO THE CREATIVITY WE OFTENTIMES HAVE TO COME UP WITH AND PUSH AND PULL AGAINST OTHER PROJECTS.

AND ADAM HAS A FULL PLATE AT THE AIRPORT.

SO IT'S IT'S A BALANCING ACT FOR SURE.

BUT IT'S ONE WE'D CERTAINLY LIKE TO GET DELIVERED.

I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD. THANK YOU.

SCOTT. AND BUDGET TEAM AND MAYOR.

COUNCIL. VICE MAYOR.

GOOD MORNING. NO YOU YOU CAPSULIZED THAT VERY, VERY WELL, SCOTT.

AND YES, I'M GOING TO BE ON BOARD FOR THIS.

I'M EXCITED TO GET THIS PROJECT DONE.

SO WE'LL BE STARTING HERE IN THE SUMMER.

THAT'S AWESOME. THANKS, ADAM.

THE POLICE SUSPECT THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN MENTIONED IF IT WERE PART OF IT.

BUT JUST TO CONFIRM IS THIS DOES NORSCOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS PARTICULAR.

THAT'S A REALLY GOOD QUESTION.

THIS IS NOT IN THE NORSCOT CONTRACT.

NO OVERLAP THERE WITH.

NO. WE WILL CLEARLY BE PUTTING IN A HIGH QUALITY, ENERGY EFFICIENT WINDOW, BUT IT IS NOT RELATED TO THE NESCO CONTRACT.

I'M JUST WONDERING BUDGETARILY IF THERE WAS NO QUESTION.

GOOD QUESTION. SO THIS ISN'T JUST A CITY LIBRARY, IT'S A CITY COUNTY LIBRARY.

SO ARE THEY GOING TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS PROJECT? HEIDI. BRANDI.

THE ANSWER IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE YES.

THE QUESTION IS IF YOU CAN COME UP AND ANSWER THE FUNDING SOURCES AND THE SPLIT BETWEEN COUNTY AND CITY BEING A CITY, COUNTY LIBRARY THOSE FUNDING SOURCES.

I DON'T REMEMBER THEM OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

MAYBE YOU DO. I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN GET THE EXACT SPLIT, BUT FOR THE CITY LIBRARY.

IT IS ABOUT A 6040 SPLIT.

I CAN GET THE EXACT PERCENTAGES.

THE LIBRARY DISTRICT PAYS ABOUT 60% AND THE CITY FUNDS ABOUT 40% OF ONGOING OPERATIONS.

OBVIOUSLY, WE PUT A LOT OF ADDITIONAL FUNDING, ONE TIME RESOURCES OF GENERAL FUNDS TO PAY $1 MILLION TOWARDS THE WINDOWS, AS WELL AS THE BOILERS AND SOME OTHER CAPITAL PROJECTS.

I THINK THE ENTRANCEWAY, WE'VE ADDED SOME MONEY THERE AS WELL TO FUND THOSE PROJECTS.

OBVIOUSLY THE BRANCH LIBRARIES ARE 100% FUNDED WITH DISTRICT TAXES, THOUGH THEY ARE OUR EMPLOYEES AND WE WE MANAGE THEM, THOSE LIBRARIES.

AS FAR AS THIS PROJECT, THOUGH, IT'S NOT CLEAR IF THE COUNTY IS GOING TO CONTRIBUTE TO IT.

CITY LIBRARY DISTRICT FUNDS AND THE GENERAL FUND.

YES. SO THEY HAVE FUND BALANCE.

SITTING HERE IT IS.

THE COUNTY WILL CONTRIBUTE.

YEAH. THE DISTRICT.

YEAH, YEAH, THROUGH THE DISTRICT TAX DISTRICT.

OKAY. SO IT WOULD BE IN PROPORTION TO THE WAY THE DISTRICT THING IS SET UP.

SO YOU COULD SAY THE FIRST CARE ABOUT THE DETAILS, RIGHT.

THAT COULD NOT. GET INTO THE WEEDS IF YOU WANT A HIGH LEVEL.

IT'S VERY GOOD. I DO IT'S A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO MENTION THIS.

WE'RE HAVING EXPLORATORY DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE GOVERNANCE OF THE LIBRARY THE MANY LIBRARIES THAT ARE NOW.

AS WE KNOW FROM THIS CONVERSATION, JOINTLY OPERATED OR OWNED WITH THE CITY AND WITH THE DISTRICT.

STAY TUNED ON THAT.

IT'S COMING YOUR WAY.

IT'S RIGHT NOW GETTING PROCESSED INTERNALLY.

WE'RE MEETING WITH THE COUNTY ATTORNEY.

I SAY WE ON ON OUR END.

IT'S OUR OFFICE, ALONG WITH HEIDI AND LINDA FROM THE LIBRARY.

VERY EXPLORATORY, BUT IT'S AN IMPORTANT DISCUSSION, SO.

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE INFO.

THANK YOU BOTH.

THANK YOU. IF I CAN ADD TO WHAT SCOTT SAID, AND GOING BACK TO THE MAYOR'S REQUEST FOR EVERYBODY TO TELL A STORY, THERE IS A STORY HERE, AND I THINK IT'S AN IMPORTANT ONE.

SCOTT MADE REFERENCE TO STAFF RESOURCE SHARING HERE.

AND THAT'S HAPPENING THROUGHOUT THE ORGANIZATION, WE ARE BORROWING EMPLOYEES FROM HERE AND THERE TO, TO HELP OUT AS NEEDED.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT IS PROBABLY THE BEST ILLUSTRATION OF THAT.

YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR TODAY ABOUT A LOT OF TEAMS DOING A LOT OF PROJECTS, AND THEY ALL DON'T FALL NEATLY WITHIN THE CAPITAL PROJECTS UMBRELLA.

ALL THE DIVISIONS OR MOST OF THE DIVISIONS HAVE HAVE INVOLVEMENT.

SO THAT'S A GOOD STORY.

SCOTT, AND I'LL MENTION ON POINT WITH THAT STORY AND BACK TO DAVE MCINTYRE.

OVER THE LAST YEAR PRECEDING ALL THESE PROJECTS IS A LOT OF REAL ESTATE ACQUISITION.

COUNCIL KNOWS THAT THESE THINGS ULTIMATELY COME TO THE DAIS.

WE'VE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH OUR RESOURCES WITH REAL ESTATE.

INTERNALLY, WE GO OUTSIDE FOR HELP ON THAT.

WE HAVE OUR LEGAL TEAM, AND WE GO OUTSIDE WITH OUR LEGAL TEAM ON THAT WE BORROWED DAVE'S EXPERTISE IN HIS TIME TO HELP US WITH SOME REAL ESTATE ACQUISITIONS OVER THE LAST YEAR, AND WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR THAT.

[01:10:03]

SO WE WERE ABLE TO BORROW HIM, MUCH LIKE WHAT SCOTT SAID WITH WITH ADAM BORROWING HIS SERVICES FROM THE AIRPORT TO HELP OUT WITH THE LIBRARY.

SO THANKS. SO MAYBE WE SHOULD CHANGE THE CITY MOTTO TO NEVER DONE, NEVER DONE ONE PART OF THE ORGANIZATION.

THING ELSE. THANKS, DAVE.

THANKS GOD FOR THE NEXT SLIDE.

SO WE QUICKLY START WITH MY STORY.

IF ANY OF YOU CAN GUESS.

OH, INTERRUPT FOR JUST A SECOND TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT BACK ON THAT LIBRARY PROJECT.

KEVIN FINKEL AS WE WORKED WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO GET THAT ADA COMPLIANCE.

YES, ON RAMP DID A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK MAKING SURE WE WERE AWARE WITH THE DOE.

SO YEAH, IT WAS WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL.

AND THERE WAS A LOT OF WORK GOING INTO THAT.

IT WAS BEHIND THE SCENES.

STERLING. AND WE'RE SO GRATEFUL.

WE CHECKED THAT BOX.

WE ARE NOW ADA COMPLIANT, AND IT'S A BIG DEAL FOR THE CITY.

AND CERTAINLY IT SPEAKS TO THE POINT AGAIN, OPENING COMMENTS.

IT'S HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE A SMALL PIECE, BUT IT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT PIECE TO KEEP THESE PROJECTS MOVING.

MY VERY QUICK STORY. ANYBODY WANT TO TAKE A GUESS AT THE NUMBER ONE PROJECT THAT I FOUND AS A COUNCIL MEMBER TO BE THE MOST REWARDING AND THE MOST FULFILLING OF LAKE MARY? I WISH I COULD TAKE MR. TIM REARDON'S CREDIT.

MAYBE. THE SUPPORT SERVICES CAMPUS.

YEAH, I MEAN, THIS IS IT FOR ME.

SO THIS WAS BY FAR MY CAPSTONE PROJECT, AND WE'RE GOING TO COMPLETE IT.

BUT THIS FOR ME WAS REALLY, AS A COUNCIL MEMBER, THE SHINING STAR OF SUCCESS.

THAT WAS MY EARLY IN MY TENURE.

I INHERITED THAT ONE FROM A VERY SMART COUNCIL, BUT THIS ONE HERE START TO FINISH.

AND I THINK A LOT OF PRIDE IN THIS FACILITY, AND CLEARLY OUR EMPLOYEES DO.

BUT FOR ME, THIS ONE WAS A BIG ONE.

IT'S LOVELY. APPRECIATE YOU GUYS BEING HERE TODAY.

STEM EDUCATION CENTER.

THIS IS A PROJECT YOU HAVE SEEN.

A YEAR AGO.

I WANTED TO GIVE YOU A QUICK UPDATE, AND I AM STILL THE ASSIGNED PM ON THIS PROJECT AS IT IS NOT MOVED TO DELIVERY YET.

THIS WAS THE FORMER FIRE STATION TWO IN SOUTH SUNNYSIDE, THERE NEXT TO MONTALVO LITTLE LEAGUE FIELD.

QUICK REMINDER THE EXISTING FIRE STATION WILL BE DEMOLISHED.

WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE MURAL WALL ON THE SOUTH SIDE.

WE HAVE INCORPORATED THAT MURAL WALL, AS YOU SEE IN THE IMAGE INTO THE NEW CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS.

CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS WERE COMPLETED RIGHT AROUND JULY OF LAST YEAR, AND WE TOOK THAT PACKET THROUGH OUR CITY PROCESS AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, AND WE ARE NOW NEARING THAT FINAL PROCESS APPROVAL FOR SITE PLAN REVIEW.

AND WE ARE NOW IN THE WHAT I WOULD CALL KIND OF THE FINAL STAGE OF THE DRAFTING OF THE REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS.

SO WE HAVE SOLICITED INPUT FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION FROM SOME OF THE SERVICE PROVIDERS THAT PROVIDE THIS TYPE OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMING.

AND WE'VE STARTED TO GATHER ALL OF THAT INFORMATION, AND WE HAVE PUT A LOT OF THAT INTO OUR SOLICITATION SO THAT AS WE GO NOW TO SOLICIT A FULL ON DESIGN AND BUILD CONTRACTOR WE WILL GET THAT FIRM OR FIRMS ON BOARD AND HOPEFULLY MOVE THIS TO ITS NEXT STEP IN THE PROCESS. SO STILL NOT TO THE FINISH LINE FOR DELIVERY.

AND WE'RE NOT QUITE THERE. BUT THAT PUBLIC INPUT IS VERY IMPORTANT.

THIS IS A REALLY IMPORTANT, INTRIGUING PROJECT.

IT IS FUNDED USING SOME OF THE RECOVERY ACT MONIES.

SO THAT'S ONE OF THE EASY BOXES TO CHECK.

I WILL POINT OUT AS SOON AS WE GET THROUGH THE SOQ PROCESS AND WE AWARD THE DESIGN BUILD PROCESS, WE'LL HAVE TO GO THROUGH FURTHER REFINEMENT OF THAT FINAL CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENT AND DESIGN WORK.

THEN WE GO TO CONSTRUCTION, THE ACTUAL USE OF THE BUILDING AND THE SERVICE PROVIDER THAT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK WITHIN THE FUTURE.

BUILT STRUCTURE HAS YET TO BE DETERMINED AND THAT WILL BE A SEPARATE SOLICITATION.

SO GENERALLY WE WILL GET THIS UNDERWAY.

WE'LL GET IT BUILT MORE TOWARDS ITS FINISH LINE.

AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE ANOTHER PROCUREMENT THAT WOULD TALK TO SOMEONE THAT WOULD USE AND WORK IN THE BUILDING.

SO A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT IF YOU HEAR THAT LANGUAGE OR THAT TERMINOLOGY.

I AM MORE FOCUSED ON THE CONSTRUCTION, NOT THE USE.

USE WILL COME A LITTLE BIT LATER IN THE PROCESS.

GREAT. IF I CAN ADD ON TO WHAT SCOTT SAID, I WANT TO GIVE BIG PROPS TO SCOTT AND THOSE WHO HAVE HELPED HIM ON THIS PROJECT.

WE APPROACHED THIS WITH COUNCIL A YEAR AGO, THIS TIME AT THIS VERY RETREAT A YEAR AGO, AND COUNCIL WAS PRETTY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT IT, BUT WE HEARD A COUPLE OF COMMENTS AND THOSE WERE YOU NEED TO VET THIS WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND MAKE SURE IT'S IN LINE WITH WHAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD ENVISIONS.

WE DID THAT. SCOTT WAS A PART OF THAT.

REBECCA WAS A PART OF THAT.

AND OTHERS SUNNYSIDE ASSOCIATION.

[01:15:01]

THEY ARE LIKEWISE ENTHUSIASTICALLY SUPPORTIVE OF THIS.

I GET ASKED ABOUT THIS FROM TIME TO TIME.

SO IT'S A FUN PROJECT.

IT'S GOING TO REALLY HELP THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

IT'S ALSO, IN MY OPINION, THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR HERE IS, IS TAKING A VACANT BUILDING ON CITY PROPERTY AND REPURPOSING IT TO THE BENEFIT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THAT'S THE AMAZING STORY BEHIND THIS.

SO I WANT TO THANK SCOTT AND EVERYBODY WHO'S BEEN INVOLVED IN THIS.

IT'S A WONDERFUL PROJECT.

BUT RIGHT NEXT DOOR IS A BASEBALL FIELD.

AND SOMETIMES THOSE PEOPLE HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM WITHOUT GETTING DRESSED.

IT HAS. EXCELLENT QUESTION.

PRIOR, THERE WERE TWO SMALL RESTROOMS IN THE BACK OF THE FORMER FIRE STATION.

THERE ARE TWO NEW RESTROOM BUILDINGS THAT ARE ADJACENT TO THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE.

THEY'RE ACTUALLY RIGHT HERE IN THE IMAGE.

AND THOSE ARE TO SERVE THE PERIMETER USES AND THE LITTLE LEAGUE PATRONS.

SO WE'LL JOIN UP WITH PARKS AND REC AND WE'LL MAKE SURE THEY HAVE ACCESS, BUT THEY ARE OUTSIDE THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE.

BUT FOR THE USE OF THOSE, THOSE WILL BE AVAILABLE EVEN WHEN THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE MIGHT BE CLOSED.

CORRECT. THANK YOU.

SCOTT. YEAH. HE HAS ALL THE ANSWERS ON THAT ONE I DID.

ALL RIGHT. ENGINEER MOVED.

THANKS, SCOTT. HI.

GOOD MORNING, PAUL, CITY ENGINEER.

I'M FILLING IN FOR DAVID PETERSON, WHO'S ON ON VACATION.

NOT A STORY, BUT JUST A QUICK UPDATE.

WE DID LOSE JEREMY DEGEETER TO ADOT, BUT WE RECENTLY PROMOTED DAVID PETERSON FROM A SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER TO A SENIOR LEAD.

SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A GOOD, GOOD JOB FOR DAVID.

AND WE'RE GOING TO DO A GREAT JOB.

THIS IS THE US GSA BUILDING RENOVATION PROJECT.

AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, THE CITY OWNED THE BUILDINGS UP BY BUFFALO PARK, AND WE RENT THEM OUT TO USGS AND, AND AND A FEW OF THE BUILDINGS ARE VERY OLD.

I GOT THE I'VE NEVER BEEN THERE BEFORE, SO I GOT THE PRIVILEGE TO GO UP ON THE ROOFS, GO THROUGH THE BUILDINGS, LOOK AT ALL THE MECHANICAL SYSTEMS WITH THE ENGINEERS AND ARCHITECTS WE'RE USING, AND JUST A GREAT FACILITY AND A LOT OF REALLY NEAT STUFF GOING ON IN THERE WITH, WITH USGS.

THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO DO THE ROOF REPAIRS ON BUILDINGS THREE, FOUR AND FIVE.

WHEN WE WERE GOING THROUGH THE BUILDINGS, WE CAN SEE WHERE THERE'S, YOU KNOW, LEAKING AND, AND THEY HAVE BUCKETS FOR READY FOR, FOR RAIN AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

AND THEN MECHANICAL UPGRADES TO BUILDINGS 3.5 AND SIX AND SOME PAVEMENT REPLACEMENT.

THAT'S REALLY OLD. PARKING LOT UP THERE.

SO WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO GET THAT SO WE CAN MAKE THOSE BUILDINGS USABLE FOR ABOUT THE NEXT TEN YEARS FOR USGS.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE AN ARCHITECT ON BOARD THAT HAS LOOKED AT THE ROOFS.

THEY'VE GOT A MECHANICAL SUB THAT'S LOOKING AT THE HVAC.

THEY'VE GOT A CIVIL ENGINEERING SUB SUB CONSULTANT THAT'S BEEN OUT THERE AND LOOKED AT ALL THE ASPHALT DONE TAKING CORES OF THE ROOFS, CORES OF THE ASPHALT.

SO WE'RE JUST GETTING THOSE REPORTS IN, AND YOU SHOULD BE SEEING I'M NOT SURE IF WE CAN DO IT INTERNALLY.

AT THE STAFF LEVEL, WE'RE USING AN ON CALL ARCHITECT.

SO WE'RE EITHER GOING TO BE DOING A FULL DESIGN CONTRACT WITH THAT ARCHITECT INTERNALLY, OR IF PROCUREMENT REQUIRES, WE'LL COME TO COUNCIL WITH IT.

SO WE'RE HOPING TO GET THE ROOFS AND MECHANICAL SYSTEMS ADDRESSED THIS SUMMER.

SO. STAY TUNED ON THAT.

YES. GOOD QUESTION.

I DIDN'T WRITE DOWN THE COLORS OF MONEY.

I'VE. THAT WAS MY QUESTION.

ORANGE, I DON'T KNOW.

I'M GOING TO DEFER TO DEFER TO MARTIN BACK THERE.

THE PHONE NUMBER. BUT IT'S A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT.

RED CAN BE CAPITAL, A KIND OF SALMON AND IS IS IT FROM THE THE BOND THAT WAS PASSED BY VOTERS YEARS AGO? DON'T BELIEVE SO BELIEVE MY ANSWER.

FOR BRANDY.

JUST PULL UP A CHAIR.

YEAH. YEAH. JOIN US.

BRANDY. I THINK THE THE THE BUILD THE SUIT PROJECT THAT WE HAVE IN KIND OF THE OUTER YEARS OF OUR FIVE YEAR PROGRAM.

I BELIEVE THAT'S THE BAR.

YES, THAT IS THE BOND.

THE $3 MILLION WE HAVE OVER THAT $3 MILLION IS ACTUALLY RESERVES THAT WE HAVE FROM EXCESS REVENUE COLLECTIONS THAT WE WILL THEN REPURPOSE BACK INTO THE BUILDING'S GREAT.

SO AGAIN, WE'RE KIND OF DOING OUR PRELIMINARY SCOPING, DOING OUR FIELD INVESTIGATIONS, HOPING TO GET THAT DESIGN UNDERWAY THIS SPRING AND

[01:20:04]

AND THEN THERE'S A BUNCH OF MECHANICAL UNITS ON THE ROOF.

SO WE HAVE TO DO A BUNCH OF, YOU KNOW, COORDINATION.

AND THEN AGAIN, IN THE OUTER YEARS, YOU KNOW, IN OUR OUTER YEARS OF OUR FIVE YEAR PLAN, YOU'LL SEE THE BUILD THE SUIT.

WE WILL WORK WITH USGS TO BUILD THEM THE FACILITIES THAT THEY NEED.

SO THE BOND PROJECT I WAS JUST GOING TO ASK THAT.

SO THE THE BUILD TO SUIT IS FUNDED THROUGH THE BONDS.

SO. THE BILL TO SUIT.

SO THEN, ARE WE TEARING DOWN THE REST OF THEM? NOT NOT ALL. NOT NOT ALL OF THEM.

I BELIEVE IT'S JUST THREE AND FOUR WITH THE XS THROUGH THEM.

OKAY. AND THEN THE THE.

THERE'LL ALWAYS BE NEW BUILDINGS.

OKAY, BUT THEY WILL KEEP THE OTHER ONES.

AND THEN. SO WHAT'S THE WHAT'S THE LIFE OF THE OTHER ONE? ARE THEY OKAY? OKAY.

YEAH, THEY'RE NEWER BUILDINGS.

YEAH. WE ARE DOING ASSESSMENTS LIKE BUILDING.

BUILDING SIX IS NEWER, SO BUILDING SIX DOES NEED SOME MECHANICAL WORK.

BUT. BUT IT HAS A GOOD ROOF RIGHT NOW.

AND THEN USGS.

THEY HAVE THE WHOLE THING OTHER THAN THERE'S A THERE'S ANOTHER GROUP UP THERE.

THERE. YEAH.

I'M NOT SURE IF THEY'RE. YEAH.

I'M NOT SURE IF THEY'RE IN THOSE BUILDING.

MOONSHOT IS UP THERE.

BUT TO THE SOUTH. YEAH.

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU OR RIXX ON THE PHONE.

I CAN FEEL RICK OVER MY SHOULDER.

YES, OVER YOUR SHOULDER. OVER YOUR SHOULDER.

JUST THE THE BOND OF TO DO THE BUILD TO SUIT.

WHAT BOND WAS THAT? WHAT YEAR WAS THAT? RICK I, I BELIEVE 2004, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO RESEARCH AND CONFIRM THAT.

AND JUST TO BE CLEAR, THIS IS NOT A GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND OR ANY TYPE OF ISSUANCE LIKE THAT.

THIS WOULD BE A REVENUE BOND.

AND BEING A REVENUE BOND, IT IS BACKED BY THE LEASE CONTRACT AND LEASE PROCEEDS OF GSA.

SLASH USGS, USGS TO PAY BACK THE BONDS.

THE REVENUE BONDS THAT WE ISSUE ARE REALLY INTENDED TO BE A NET ZERO ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF WE MAY DO SOME INITIAL INVESTMENT INTO MAKING SURE THE PROJECT IS FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE FROM OUR RESERVE FUNDS FROM USGS.

BUT GENERALLY, IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE STANDING BY ITS OWN ON THE REVENUE SOURCE TO PAY BACK THE LOAN.

TRICK. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALSO. GOING TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK 15 MINUTES AND GET BACK A LITTLE EARLIER.

GET BACK AT 1015 MEMBERS FOR EVERYBODY.

RAND PAUL AND TREVOR. YOU'RE UP.

OH. I'M SORRY. SAM. BECKETT.

I'M SORRY. PAUL SET THE BAR KIND OF LOW AND THEN LET THOSE GUYS KNOCK IT OUT OF THE PARK.

SORRY. RIGHT.

GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING.

MAYOR COUNCIL. I'M HERE THIS MORNING.

WHAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT HERE REALLY ISN'T GOING TO RELATE TO HER AS MUCH, BUT I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE TIE TO IT.

BUT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IS A PROGRAM THAT'S A MAINTENANCE PROGRAM.

UNNECESSARILY BUILDING SOMETHING NEW BUT MAINTAINING WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE.

WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE PLENTY OF ROADWAY OUT THERE.

THERE WAS A TAX. THAT WAS PROPOSED AND APPROVED BACK IN 2014.

AND THAT TAX WAS REALLY DESIGNATED TO MAINTAIN CURRENT INFRASTRUCTURE, KEEP IT UP TO PAR, AND KEEP US MOVING FORWARD.

THAT COST IS SIGNIFICANT EACH YEAR.

THE REASON THIS PROJECT WINDS UP IN THIS CAPITAL RETREAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S A MAINTENANCE PROJECT IS BECAUSE IT'S A LARGE IT IS A LARGE MAINTENANCE PROJECT, PROBABLY THE LARGEST ONE WE HAVE IN THE CITY FOR AN ANNUAL MAINTENANCE PROJECT.

YOU CAN SEE HERE WE SEE ABOUT 7 TO 8, $9 A YEAR, DEPENDING ON HOW WE SEE MONEY'S GETTING CARRIED OVER FOR PROJECTS THAT WE TRY TO GET ERODE IN ONE YEAR.

AND IT JUST DIDN'T WORK OUT.

SO WE HAD TO MOVE IT TO THE NEXT YEAR.

IN ALL OF THIS IS TO GET OUT THERE AND REPLACE OR REPAIR.

LET'S CALL THAT REPAIR AS MUCH OF OUR ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE AS POSSIBLE.

BOND WENT INTO PLACES BECAUSE A LOT OF OUR SEGMENTS WERE FALLING DOWN.

HOW DO WE GET THEM CAUGHT BACK UP? TRY AND GET THEM UP TO A GOOD STANDARD AND KEEP THEM THERE.

UP HERE IN OUR, OUR ENVIRONMENT THAT CHANGES DAY TO DAY.

[01:25:02]

SO DEALING WITH THAT, OUR ROADS GET IMPACTED SIGNIFICANTLY DURING WITH FREEZE THAW, DEALING WITH RAIN IMPACTS, HIGH UV IMPACTS ALSO DEGRADE THE OILS IN THE ROADWAYS SO THAT CONSTANT INVOLVEMENT OF MAINTAINING THEM.

SO THIS FUND SPECIFICALLY WORKS ON THE ASPHALT OVERLAY PROJECT.

ONE OF OUR PROJECTS THIS YEAR YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IS GOING TO SPIN OUT.

THIS ONE IS GOING TO CAUSE SOME DISRUPTION IN THE DOWNTOWN.

WE'RE GOING TO DO OUR BEST TO COORDINATE WITH BUSINESSES.

BUT I THINK ANYBODY WHO'S WALKED THAT CORRIDOR, WHO'S BEEN DOWN THERE FOR A SPECIAL EVENT, WE ALL KNOW THAT ROAD IS MORE THAN READY TO TO SEE ITS TREATMENT.

WE'VE ALSO GOT A REBUILD OF LUCKY LANE, AND WE'RE TRYING TO GET THE UNIVERSITY DRIVES INTO UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS ON THE NORTH AND SOUTH END, REBUILT THERE JUST DUE.

THE PIECE THAT TIES BACK TO HER ON THIS IS WE DO OUR BEST TO CLOSE GAPS IN AREAS WHEN WE'RE WORKING ON THESE ROADWAYS OF SIDEWALK, SO SIDEWALKS ADJACENT TO THE ROADWAY. BUT WE CAN'T USE THE BOND TO PURCHASE NEW SIDEWALK IN THOSE AREAS.

WE WORK WITH MARTIN, WE WORK WITH JEFF, WE WORK WITH ENGINEERING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN TRY AND CLOSE GAPS WHERE THERE'S ANY GAPS IN SIDEWALKS, AND WE ALSO GO THROUGH AND WE REPAIR SIDEWALK AND CURB IN THOSE AREAS.

SO ASPEN AVENUE IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF THAT.

MANY OF THE SIDEWALKS, A LOT OF THE ADA RAMPS ARE ALL GOING TO GET REBUILT AS PART OF THAT PROJECT, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING GETS DONE.

AND IT'S NOT JUST AN OVERLAY AND WE WALK AWAY FROM IT.

IT'S ENSURING THAT THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS IN GOOD SPOT MOVING FORWARD FOR THE NEXT 5 TO 7 YEARS.

IT IS OF THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM, AND I THINK I HAND IT OVER TO TREVOR.

ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH. AND I'VE HEARD DIFFERENT COMMENTS OVER TIME ABOUT BECAUSE OF OUR, LIKE YOU SAID, SUNBURN TODAY, SNOW TOMORROW.

THE EXPANSION AND RETRACTION OF THE ASPHALT REALLY HEATS UP OUR ROADS ALL THE TIME.

IS THERE ANY DIFFERENT PRODUCT BESIDES ASPHALT AND ASPHALT OVERLAY THAT WE COULD UTILIZE UP HERE.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE CONSTANTLY LOOKING AT.

WE'RE USING EVEN A NEW RUBBERIZED ASPHALT THAT JUST IS MORE FORGIVING IN OUR ENVIRONMENT, BUT IT'S NOT AS CONDUCIVE WHEN YOU GET DOWN INTO THE VALLEY WHERE TEMPERATURES HOLD HIGHER FOR LONGER. SO WE'RE WE'RE TRYING TO FIND THOSE BALANCE AND FINDING THE RIGHT MATERIALS TO HOPEFULLY PROLONG THAT AS FAR AS WE CAN.

BUT THE IMPACTS ARE PRETTY DRASTIC.

IT. I BELIEVE I'VE ASKED THIS BEFORE, BUT I WONDER ABOUT.

EFFORTS TO LOBBY AT THE STATE LEVEL SO THAT OUR DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS IS RECALCULATED WITH RESPECT TO. THE FACT THAT OUR CONDITIONS ARE DIFFERENT UP HERE AND THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE STATE, AND WE GO THROUGH.

WEAR AND TEAR AND BREATHE AND THAW MORE QUICKLY THAN OTHER PLACES.

I THINK IT'S A FAIR ASK.

YEAH, I I'D LOVE TO SEE THAT CHANGE.

IT'S BEEN THE SAME FOR 30 YEARS.

IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY, REALLY TOUGH TO SEE ANY MOVEMENT ON THAT SIDE OF IT IN PARTICULAR.

WHEN IT COMES TO THE HALF DOLLARS, THIS ONE HERE IS COMING FROM OBVIOUSLY THAT LOCAL BOND.

BUT, YOU KNOW, ON THE HALF SIDE, I AGREE WITH YOU.

IF WE COULD FIND A WAY TO TO SEE ANY MOVEMENT IN THERE THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

AT THIS POINT, I JUST WANT TO KEEP ENCOURAGING HEIDI AND HER TEAM AND THEIR EFFORTS TO BRING PEOPLE INTO THE REGION AS THEY COME HERE.

THOSE TAX DOLLARS WIND UP BACK IN OUR ROADWAY NETWORKS FROM THEIR FUEL TAX.

SO AT THIS POINT, THAT'S THE BEST EFFORT WE CAN DO.

BUT I AGREE WITH YOU. SO I DON'T THINK THEY'VE INCREASED THE GAS TAX IN SOMETHING LIKE 25 OR 30 YEARS AND LOCKED IN.

AND SO I GUESS MY QUESTION IS HAVE THE THE COST OF ROAD REPAIR GONE UP IN THE LAST 30 YEARS SIGNIFICANTLY? I GUESS I KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION.

I'M JUST ASKING IT TO MAKE A POINT THAT IN EFFECT, WHAT IS AVAILABLE IN INVEST, ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION, IS CONTINUALLY GOING DOWN.

YEAH, THAT'S ANOTHER LEGISLATION.

LEGISLATURE ISSUE.

THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN.

OKAY. SO SO AS PEOPLE START DRIVING MORE EVS.

THEY'RE STILL USING OUR ROADS.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ANYWHERE, STARTING ABOUT HOW WE RECRUIT, RECRUIT SOME OF THOSE FUNDS TO HELP US WITH THIS? BECAUSE IF THE GAS, YOU KNOW, NOBODY'S DRIVING GAS CARS, IF THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS, WE STILL NEED TO DO THIS.

SO HAS THAT CONVERSATION EVEN STARTED? YES, THERE'S THERE'S BEEN CONVERSATION ON THAT.

[01:30:01]

WHAT WE'RE SEEING, WHAT I'VE BEEN SEEING IS STATES HAVE BEEN TAKING A MORE INDEPENDENT APPROACH, BECAUSE THIS WAS THE FIRST ONE WHERE THEY STARTED ADDING A TAX ON ELECTRIC VEHICLES EACH YEAR.

YOUR UPFRONT TAX, I THINK IS $400 FOR THE FIRST YEAR.

YOU OWN THE VEHICLE AND IT'S $200 ANNUALLY, WHICH IS ABOUT WHAT IT WOULD EQUATE TO IF YOU WERE BUYING FUEL IN THAT PERCENTAGE OF THAT TAX THAT WOULD GO BACK TO ROAD MAINTENANCE.

SO THEY'RE DOING THOSE.

AND THERE'S ACTUALLY A I THINK THERE'S ABOUT A DOZEN STATES THAT ARE, THAT ARE FINALIZING THAT PROCESS JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE SEEING THOSE IMPACTS AS WELL.

IT CREATES THE SAME IMPACT THAT A NORMAL VEHICLE DOES.

GREG DO? DO WE KNOW WHERE WE ARE? WE MEANING ARIZONA REPRESENTATIVE PROCESS INTRODUCED LEGISLATION FOR EXACTLY WHAT SAM DESCRIBED.

I'M ASSUMING THAT IT'S DEAD.

IT'S SOME OF THEM ARE NOT SEEING AS MUCH TRACTION AS OTHERS.

THEY'RE TRYING TO REALLY FOCUS ON INCENTIVIZING ELECTRIC VEHICLES.

AT SOME POINT, WE'LL FIND THAT BALANCE, I'M SURE.

I HOPE. BUT I'M JUST.

THIS IS A GOOGLE FIND AT LEAST SEVEN STATES GEORGIA, IOWA, KENTUCKY, MONTANA, OKLAHOMA, PENNSYLVANIA AND UTAH HAVE PASSED TAXES ON EV CHARGING.

MOST OF THEM WILL DEDICATE THOSE REVENUES TO ROAD CONSTRUCTION, ALTHOUGH IOWA'S TAX WILL GO TO A STATEWIDE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND.

SO, BY AND LARGE.

BUT THE HANDFUL OF STATES YEAH, THEY'RE GETTING CREATIVE ON HOW THEY DO IT.

YEAH. JUST.

GREAT QUESTIONS. YEAH.

GREAT QUESTION. YES, SIR.

YOU HAVE AN ESTIMATE ON THE ASPEN AVENUE.

YEAH, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO DO IT OVER THE 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND IS.

HE'S ALREADY HERE.

NOW WE'RE ACTUALLY WORKING ON GETTING A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTOR ON BOARD.

WE BRING ONE ON.

THAT CONTRACT ENDED IN JANUARY.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH PROCUREMENT.

IT CLOSES THE END OF THIS WEEK, SO WE'RE HOPING THAT WE HAVE SOME GOOD BIDS.

AS SOON AS WE GET THAT VENDOR ON BOARD, WE CAN WORK ON SCHEDULES AND GETTING OUR GMP IN PLACE SO WE CAN GET MOVING.

AT THIS POINT, IT'S GOING TO BE REAL TIGHT WINDOW FOR US THIS YEAR IN THE CONSTRUCTION WINDOW.

WE GET THE CONTRACTOR ON BOARD.

POTENTIALLY AFTER SUMMER IT WILL BE LATE SUMMER, I WOULD ASSUME IS BEST CASE SCENARIO.

BUT IT'S OUR GOAL TO GET THAT ONE DONE THIS YEAR.

THANKS, SAM. OKAY.

YEAH. ARE YOU? GOOD TO SEE YOU. OKAY HERE.

YEAH, RIGHT.

NO. OKAY.

SOMETHING'S WRONG UP THERE.

GOOD MORNING, MAYOR. COUNCIL. I'M ELI REISNER, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT MANAGER.

AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE MAP HERE THE COCONINO STATES IMPROVEMENTS PHASE ONE PROJECT IS LOCATED JUST NORTH OF FLAGSTAFF HIGH SCHOOL AT MARSHALL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ESTATES NEIGHBORHOOD, JUST WEST OF FORT VALLEY ROAD.

THIS PROJECT WAS A UTILITY AND ROADWAY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.

THE UTILITY UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS CONSISTED OF REPLACING THE EXISTING WATER AND SEWER MAINS AND SERVICES FOR THE ENTIRE LIMITS SHOWN HERE, AND UPSIZING THE STORM DRAIN INFRASTRUCTURE AT THE NAVAJO AND BEALE INTERSECTION TO THE RIO DE FLAG.

THE ROADWAY. IMPROVEMENTS CONSISTED OF COMPLETELY REMOVING AND REPLACING THE ASPHALT ROADWAY, REMOVING AND REPLACING THE EXISTING ROPE VERTICAL CURB, AND ADDING SIDEWALK WHERE IT DID NOT PREVIOUSLY PREVIOUSLY EXIST ON BEALE ROAD ON THE RIO DE FLAG TO FORT VALLEY ROAD ON NAVAJO DRIVE FROM BEALE NAVAJO ROAD, AND ON NAVAJO ROAD FROM NAVAJO DRIVE TO FORT VALLEY ROAD.

THIS PROJECT WAS CONSTRUCTED BY EAGLE MOUNTAIN CONSTRUCTION, WHO WAS SELECTED THROUGH A QUALIFICATIONS BASED SELECTION PROCESS TO PERFORM THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK.

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PHASE.

THIS PROJECT WAS FUNDED BY THE ROAD REPAIR AND STREET SAFETY SALES TAX.

THERE WAS ALSO FUNDING FROM THE TRANSPORTATION TAX UNDER BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN PROJECTS TO FUND THE INSTALLATION OF THE SIDEWALK ON THE PROJECT, WHERE IT DID NOT PREVIOUSLY EXIST. THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS PROJECT WAS FUNDED IN FY 2020 THROUGH FY 24.

THE FINAL CONSTRUCTION COST FOR THIS PROJECT WAS $9.5 MILLION.

[01:35:01]

AND THEN I'LL GO ON TO THE COCONINO STATE SPACE TWO.

BUT DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON PHASE ONE? ALL RIGHT FOR COCONINO STATE'S IMPROVEMENTS.

PHASE TWO. AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE THE MAP HERE.

THIS PROJECT IS LOCATED IN THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE COCONINO ESTATES NEIGHBORHOOD, JUST WEST OF FORT VALLEY ROAD AND ACROSS THE STREET FROM SEACREST ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

THIS PROJECT IS VERY SIMILAR IN SCOPE TO COCONINO STATE'S PHASE ONE.

THIS PROJECT WAS UTILITY AND ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT.

THE UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS CONSISTED OF REPLACING THE EXISTING WATER AND SEWER MAINS AND SERVICES FOR THE ENTIRE LIMIT SHOWN HERE.

THE ROADWAY. IMPROVEMENTS CONSISTED OF COMPLETELY REMOVING AND REPLACING THE ASPHALT ROADWAY, AND REMOVING AND REPLACING THE EXISTING ROAD CURB WITH VERTICAL.

THIS PROJECT WAS CONSTRUCTED BY STANDARD CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, WHO WAS AWARDED THE PROJECT THROUGH THE DESIGN BID BUILD PROCESS AS THE LOWEST BIDDER.

THIS PROJECT WAS FUNDED BY THE ROAD REPAIR AND STREET SAFETY SALES TAX.

THERE WAS ALSO FUNDING FROM THE DRINKING WATER AND WASTEWATER FUNDS FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS ON TALKINGTON AND THIS AND THE SIDE CUL DE SACS.

THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS PROJECT WAS FUNDED IN FY 2021 FY 2024.

CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT AMOUNT FOR THIS PROJECT IS $7.1 MILLION.

THE FINAL CONSTRUCTION COST FOR THIS PROJECT HAVE YET TO BE DETERMINED.

THIS PROJECT BEGAN CONSTRUCTION IN JUNE OF 2021.

DESPITE ALL THE CHALLENGES THAT THIS PROJECT FACED, WHICH WERE VERY SIMILAR TO PHASE ONE, INCLUDING COVID FLOODS AND RECORD SNOWS, WE WERE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE MAJORITY OF THE WORK AND ISSUE SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION ON THE PROJECT IN JULY OF 2023.

FINAL ACCEPTANCE IS ANTICIPATED TO BE ISSUED THIS YEAR.

ONCE WE REACH RESOLUTION WITH THE CONTRACTOR REGARDING PAYMENT FOR THE CONTRACT, AND ONCE THE HANDFUL OF REMAINING PUNCH LIST ITEMS ARE COMPLETE.

THAT IS IT FOR PHASE TWO.

THE QUESTIONS.

OKAY, I GUESS I HAVE A QUESTION.

COUNCIL AND THE TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION AND THE SUBCOMMITTEES TO THE TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION HAVE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT HER. THIS VERTICAL CURVES HAVE BEEN ANY FEEDBACK FROM THE RESIDENTS IN THIS AREA ABOUT THE LIKE THE OTHER OR VICE VERSA? I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY FEEDBACK DOWN TO MY LEVEL WHEN THEY LIKE MORE OR NOT.

SO OKAY, SORRY.

I HAVE A QUESTION. WELL, SORRY.

WERE ANY OF OUR INTERNET PROVIDERS INCLUDED IN THIS TO INSTALL ANY ADDITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE ALONG WITH OUR IMPROVEMENTS? WE DID COORDINATE WITH ALL OUR FRANCHISE UTILITY PARTNERS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE AND OR UPDATE THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE WITHIN THE LIMITS OF BOTH COCONINO ESTATES PHASE ONE AND PHASE TWO, AS WELL AS OUR OWN FIBER TEAM HERE AT THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF.

AND ANOTHER FRANCHISE UTILITY PARTNERS WANTED TO.

JULIE IMPROVEMENTS TO THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE WITHIN THIS LIMITS.

AND THEN THESE ACTUAL LIMITS FELL WITH OUTSIDE OF THE FIBERS MASTER PLAN FLAGSTAFF.

FOR YOU. IS THIS IT FOR YOU OR ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT OTHER STUFF? I'LL BE BACK LATER THIS AFTERNOON FOR SPRUCE STUFF.

OH, GOOD. YEAH. GREAT.

I JUST WANT TO NOTE AND IN TELLING STORIES WE'RE GOING TO LOSE YOU SOON BECAUSE YOU'RE HEADING INTO THE PRIVATE SECTOR, AND WE'RE WE'RE VERY HAPPY FOR YOU.

BUT IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFICULT FOR US TO REPLACE YOUR SERVICES, SO.

THANK YOU. YEAH. WE WISH YOU THE BEST.

AND THANKS FOR ALL THAT YOU'VE DONE.

THANK YOU. APPRECIATE THAT.

GOOD MORNING AGAIN, COUNCIL.

BARBARA HENRY, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS.

ENGINEER. SO SINCE WE'RE AHEAD OF SCHEDULE, DO WE HAVE TIME FOR A STORY? YES, PLEASE. YES.

SO LET'S SEE.

THIS MIGHT BE BEFORE THE PRESENT.

COUNCIL STACEY MIGHT REMEMBER THIS.

MAYBE. SCOTT. OH, IT'S REALLY OLD.

OH. THAT'S WHAT I HEARD IN ALL THAT.

[01:40:10]

SO 2016 I WAS IN FRONT OF COUNCIL, GIVEN A PRESENTATION AND ONE OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS COUNCIL MEMBER BARRETT, SHE HEARD MY PRESENTATION.

SHE WAS REALLY ENGAGED, REALLY TALKING AND KIND OF GOING THROUGH THE ITEMS. AND THEN AFTER WE WERE DONE, SHE JUST KIND OF STOPPED AND SHE SAID KIND OF IN FRONT OF THE COUNCIL.

SO ARE YOU NEW HERE? I'VE NEVER REALLY SEEN YOU.

SO I JUST SAID KIND OF IN A I THINK STERLING MIGHT HAVE REMEMBERED THIS ONE TOO, BUT I KIND OF STUMBLED THROUGH AND I SAID, WELL, I'VE BEEN HERE ABOUT 17 YEARS, SO.

LITTLE EMBARRASSED, BUT, YOU KNOW, EASY TO HAPPEN BECAUSE I KIND OF ALWAYS IN THE BACKGROUND PUTTING EVERYBODY FORWARD FIRST AND.

SO THEN AFTER THAT, FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS, I WAS REFERRED TO AS THE NEW GUY.

THERE'S PROBABLY A VIDEO THAT DAVID PETERSON PUT TOGETHER THAT HAS THAT IN THERE.

SO IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT THAT'S ABOUT, ASK DAVID, THE NEW GUY.

SO I AM GOING TO GO THROUGH OUR TRANSPORTATION TAX FUNDED PROJECTS.

DAVID PETERSON IS ON VACATION.

AS YOU KNOW, CHRISTINE CAMERON IS DOWN IN PHOENIX FOR RIO DE FLAG FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT.

AND THEN ALSO INCLUDED WITH OUR PRESENTATION OUR TWO TWO NEW EMPLOYEES WITH ENGINEERING DIVISION.

I'LL LET THEM INTRODUCE THEMSELVES, BUT THEY'RE UP HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME, SO PLEASE BE NICE TO THEM.

WE'LL HAVE MARTIN FINISH OFF WITH OUR FOOTS AND BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN PROJECTS.

PERFECT. SO THE FIRST ONE IS BEULAH UNIVERSITY.

SO YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT THIS ONE MANY TIMES.

DAVID PETERSON IS THE PROJECT MANAGER.

WE ARE DOING A NEW ROUNDABOUT KIND OF WEST OF MILTON, AND WE'RE ALSO DOING AN EXTENSION OF BEULAH BOULEVARD UP NORTH TO THE ROUNDABOUT. AND THEN WE'RE ALSO DOING A NEW INTERSECTION AT MILTON AND UNIVERSITY DRIVE.

SO ALL OF THAT IS, ARE THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'RE DOING WITH BEULAH.

AND RIGHT NOW WE ARE ALSO DOING A PEDESTRIAN UNDERPASS.

SO JUST NORTH OF THE NEW INTERSECTION ON MILTON AND UNIVERSITY DRIVE.

SO THAT IS KIND OF THE SCOPE BUDGET 24 MILLION.

AND THEN WE'RE EXPECTING TO DO SOME CONSTRUCTION COMING UP SOON.

SO SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS I HAVE FOR YOU ARE.

PHASE ONE, WHICH IS WEST OF MILTON, WILL BE COMPLETED SOON.

WE'RE WAITING FOR PAVEMENT, SO AS SOON AS THE PLANT OPENS, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND PAVE THAT SECTION.

PHASE TWO, WHICH IS MILTON? GOING EAST.

WE'LL START ON THE UNDERGROUND.

THE UNDERPASS.

WE'LL START ON SOME OF THE UTILITIES CROSSING MILTON.

ALL OF THAT WILL BEGIN.

SO A LOT OF THAT WORK RELIES ON A DOT COORDINATION AND JUST KIND OF WORKING WITH THEM THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

SO WE WILL HAVE SOME ROAD DETOURS AND WE'LL HAVE SOME LANE RESTRICTIONS.

AND AGAIN THAT'S ALL KIND OF ENDORSED BY DOT.

WE'LL KIND OF GO THROUGH THAT SCENARIO.

THE ROAD RESTRICTIONS AND THE DETOURS WILL RUN FROM POSSIBLY APRIL TO OCTOBER.

THAT WILL BE IN PLACE.

AND OF COURSE, WE'RE ALWAYS DOING.

WORK THROUGH OUR PUBLIC INFORMATION FERM THAT WE HAVE ON BOARD, AND THEY GET THE WORD OUT.

THEY GET THE INFORMATION OUT TO THE TRAVELING PUBLIC.

SO SOME OF THE THINGS COUNCIL MIGHT SEE SOON ARE SOME UPDATES.

WE LIKE TO GET IN FRONT OF YOU AND PROVIDE UPDATES ON THE PROJECTS THAT WE'RE DOING.

AND THERE MIGHT BE MAYBE SOME DISCUSSIONS ON POTENTIAL COST INCREASE.

SO EVERYBODY KNOWS CONSTRUCTION IS GETTING EXPENSIVE AND THINGS ARE GOING UP.

SO WE COULD POSSIBLY BE IN FRONT OF YOU.

BUT OUR TEAM IS DOING THE BEST WE CAN TO MITIGATE THE INCREASES.

THAT'S BIOLA UNIVERSITY.

NEXT SLIDE WILL BE A VIDEO.

YOU'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE BUT WE WANTED TO SHOW THIS AGAIN.

MIGHT NEED SOME HELP.

JUST MUSIC. TONIGHT.

MUSIC. WE MIGHT HAVE TO DO IT WITHOUT.

SEEING. I'M REALLY MCINTYRE.

[01:45:04]

SO WHAT KIND OF CURB AND GUTTER OR SIDEWALK? THE MEDIANS AND THE ROUNDABOUT KIND OF GETTING NORTH, MAYBE TURNING MAYBE A LITTLE NORTH EAST.

NOW AT THE ROUNDABOUT, THE BUILDING TO THE UPPER RIGHT IS THE MONTESSORI SCHOOL.

ALL OF THIS IS IN PLACE.

THIS WAS LATE FEBRUARY AND THIS WAS TAKEN.

WE'RE GOING EAST.

GOING TO MILTON AVENUE.

UNDERPASS WILL BE KIND OF NORTH OF THAT INTERSECTION TO THE LEFT OF THAT INTERSECTION.

TAKING THAT OUT, WE'RE DIGGING THAT OUT YESTERDAY.

YES, THEY'RE STARTING ON THAT WORK.

SO SOME OF THAT WORK ALSO IS UTILITY WORK, SOME CROSSINGS SO THE STUDENTS CAN GO STRAIGHT TO BURGER KING STUDENTS PUBLIC.

ANYBODY CAN GO UNDERNEATH.

AND THERE STILL WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO AT A STREET CROSSING.

OH, I THOUGHT WE WERE ELIMINATING STREET CROSSINGS.

SO THERE IS THE UNDERPASS ON THE NORTH SIDE, AND THERE WILL BE A STREET CROSSING ON THE SOUTH SIDE.

OKAY. THAT WAS SOMETHING ATE UP.

STILL NEEDED TO HAVE INCLUDED.

OKAY. SO YOU HAVE AN OPTION TO USE THE TUNNEL.

CROSSING. RIGHT.

YEAH. SO DAVID PETERSON IS OUR DRONE PILOT AND HE JUST LOVES THIS TYPE OF STUFF.

HE'S ALSO GIS.

HE'S ALSO IT A LITTLE BIT.

HE DOES EVERYTHING RELATED TO THAT NEWER TECHNOLOGY.

SO YOU EVER WANT TO VISIT WITH HIM OR GO ON ONE OF HIS FLIGHTS? HE DOES THAT PERIODICALLY.

JUST LET HIM KNOW.

HE DID THE ONE UP ON INTER-BASIN WITH THE WATER.

YES, YES.

YEAH, HE'S VERY TALENTED.

SO A LOT OF THOSE PICTURES THAT YOU SEE ON HIS PROJECTS ARE SOMETIMES DRONE PICTURES.

HE GETS A REALLY GOOD.

AGAIN. HE'S REALLY GOOD AT THAT TYPE OF STUFF.

YES. SO BE A QUESTION FOR IT.

WHEN DAVID RELEASED THE FIRST DRONE VIDEO OF THAT, I TRIED TO SHARE IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA FOR PEOPLE, AND THERE WAS A LOT OF BLOCKS LIKE PEOPLE COULDN'T VIEW IT, COULDN'T SIGN ONLINE.

AND I KNOW IT'S WITH OUR SECURITY.

LEVELS THAT WE HAVE BECAUSE IT CAME IN OUR EMAIL, BUT.

THE SNOW, ONE COULD OPEN IT.

SOMETIMES WE'LL LOOK INTO IT.

I DON'T YEAH. SO I'M NOT AN EXPERT.

BUT SOMETIMES THOSE VIDEOS CAN BE RATHER LARGE.

SO PLAYING IT ON A SOCIAL MEDIA SITE MAY BE A LITTLE TOO BIG.

SO THEY CAN'T GENERATE, NOT EVEN OPENING LIKE I WANTED TO DO IT ON LINKEDIN AND STUFF, JUST AS A COMMUNICATION THING.

BUT WE WILL DEFINITELY WORK.

I THINK WE'VE WORKED WITH SARAH BEFORE TO GET SMALLER VERSIONS OF THE VIDEOS, AND WE'RE ABLE TO UPLOAD THOSE TO SOCIAL MEDIA.

YEAH, WITH THE SOUNDTRACK, WITH THE SOUNDTRACK PIECE.

DAVE MCINTYRE SINGING.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT PROJECT DOWNTOWN MILES.

SO COUNCIL MEMBER MCCARTHY YOUR QUESTION ABOUT THE RAIL.

SO DO YOU SQUINT REALLY HARD? THE RAILS. HERE'S THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

AND IT'S CALLED THE SHOOFLY, WHICH IS WHERE THE RAILS ARE GOING TO MOVE TO THE NORTH.

AND THAT'S A BNSF TERM, SHOOFLY.

BUT IT'LL TIE IN RIGHT AT BEAVER AND IT'LL START TO ARC.

THE NORTH THEN TIED IN, SO THE RED DASHED IS EXISTING.

IN THE GREEN WITH THE BLUE INFRASTRUCTURE.

SO WE'LL TOUCH A LITTLE BIT ON THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, BUT MOST OF IT WILL BE OUTSIDE OF ANY PROPERTIES OR BUILDINGS.

SO DOWNTOWN MILE AGAIN, THIS IS A SUITE OF SIX PROJECTS.

TWO UNDERPASSES.

WE HAVE A DRAINAGE PORTION.

WE HAVE WORK AND BEAVER AND SAN FRANCISCO WITH REGARDS TO SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS.

WE ALSO HAVE THE MILTON ROAD BRIDGE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON.

SO THAT'S KIND OF THE SWEET OF THE PROJECTS.

YOU'VE HEARD MANY TIMES OUR OUR BUDGET.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION.

WE'VE HAD THE INFRA GRANT.

WHICH IS.

NATIONALLY SIGNIFICANT MULTIMODAL FREIGHT AND HIGHWAY PROJECTS PROGRAM.

SO THAT IS A GRANT THAT WE RECEIVED IN 2022 FOR 32 MILLION.

[01:50:05]

SO SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS.

WE ARE GETTING VERY CLOSE 60% DESIGN.

WE SHOULD HAVE THAT POSSIBLY IN MAY.

AND THEN IN THE SPRING OF 2025 WE'LL HAVE FINAL DESIGN.

SO BETWEEN MAY AND NEXT SPRING WE'RE GOING TO GET A CONSTRUCTION MANAGER CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK ON BOARD.

SO WE'LL HAVE THEM IN THE MIX TO HELP US BRING THE DESIGN TO COMPLETION.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WHEN WE GET A SEAMER ON BOARD FOR SOMETHING THIS BIG, WE CAN BUNDLE PROJECTS, WE CAN SEQUENCE, WE CAN PHASE THEM.

SO COUNCIL WILL SEE MULTIPLE GMPS UNTIL WE GET THAT CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK ON BOARD, WE WON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT WILL COME FIRST. THE UNDER THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS, THE BRIDGE, ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

SO WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL WE HEAR WHAT THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK HAS TO SAY AND WHAT HE'LL ADVISE US OF.

CURRENTLY, OUR DESIGN TEAM IS DOING A LOT OF WORK WITH ADOT AND WITH THE RAILROAD BNSF FOR A PORTION OF MILTON.

THAT INTERSECTION WITH SITGREAVES CURRENTLY, RIGHT NOW, SITGREAVES IS A RAMP THAT JUST GETS ON TO 66.

WE ARE GOING TO REALIGN HOW SITGREAVES TIES INTO ROUTE 66.

SO THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF BETTER KIND OF ANGLING SO THAT YOU'RE NOT ALWAYS LOOKING OVER YOUR LEFT SHOULDER.

WE'RE AT A 90 DEGREE KIND OF A HIGH IN.

SO THERE'S WORK THERE.

AND THAT'S KIND OF ALL RELATED TO SANTA FE AVENUE AND AND HOW THAT'S ALL GOING TO WORK.

A LOT OF COORDINATION GOING ON THERE.

WE WILL DEFINITELY LOOK INTO THE PRAIRIE DOGS.

SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE.

QUESTIONS ON THIS PROJECT.

TREVOR, THANK YOU FOR THIS.

SO I'M LOOKING AT THE CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE.

IT SAYS SUMMER 2025 TO 2028.

YES. THREE YEARS.

25, 26.

FOUR YEARS. FOUR YEARS FOR CONSTRUCTION SEASONS.

YES. AND THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE KNOW NOW, BUT WE WON'T REALLY KNOW UNTIL WE GET THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER.

THAT'S. HE MAY. HAVE A BETTER SCENARIO, A BETTER PLAN.

MORE DONE IN THREE SEASONS BE DONE IN 2027.

HERE. I THINK.

JOHN WESLEY POWELL GWB SO THIS IS A PROJECT WE'VE BEEN BEFORE YOU BEFORE WITH UPDATES.

SO THERE WILL BE A NEW ARTERIAL ROADWAY FROM BUTLER AND FOURTH SOUTH AND THEN TYING INTO THE AREA OF NEAR PINE CANYON SUBDIVISION. INCLUDED WITH THAT WILL BE BIKE AND PED FACILITIES.

ALSO BE WATER, SEWER, STORM DRAIN, A LOT OF UNDERGROUND INFRASTRUCTURE.

OFF. THE BUDGET FOR THIS PROJECT IS SHARED BETWEEN THE LARGE PROPERTY OWNERS, WHICH ARE ESSENTIALLY THE BLUE, PURPLE, LIGHT BLUE, SOME OF THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS.

SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE SHARED 60% AND THEN THE CITY WILL BE 40%.

TOTAL PROJECT COST IS 45 MILLION.

AND CITY SHARES ABOUT 18.

SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE WORKING WITH THE LARGE PROPERTY OWNERS, KIND OF THEM TALKING ABOUT THE ALIGNMENT BACK TWO YEARS AGO, COUNCIL GAVE US DIRECTION FOR THE YELLOW ALIGNMENT.

AND WITH SOME CONDITIONS THAT WE MAKE SURE IT WORKS WITH THE AREA TOPOGRAPHY AND ALSO WORKS FOR THE LANDOWNERS BECAUSE THERE'S THERE'S STILL SOME DEVELOPABLE AREAS THAT NEED TO BE LOOKED AT TO HELP YOU.

SO THAT'S PART OF THE OF WHAT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH.

STAFF IS ALSO WORKING ON A SPECIFIC PLAN.

SO THAT'LL KIND OF DEFINE WHAT THE LAND USE WILL BE, HOW THIS AREA WILL BE DEVELOPED.

HOPING THAT IF EVERYTHING CONTINUES TO WORK, WE GET SOME AGREEMENTS IN PLACE.

WE CAN HAVE SOME CONSTRUCTION NEXT YEAR.

BUT AGAIN, THAT'S JUST DEPENDS ON HOW WE KIND OF WORK THROUGH THIS.

I DID WANT TO LET COUNCIL KNOW THAT WE WILL BE IN FRONT OF YOU ON APRIL 9TH.

STAFF WILL BE THERE TO GIVE AN UPDATE.

WE'LL HAVE MORE DETAILS, MORE SPECIFICS AND ON WHAT'S HAPPENING.

YES. I WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT THAT CONSTRUCTION TIMELINE UNTIL YOU SAID.

[01:55:05]

SO WE'VE GOT GRAND CANYON THAT IS DEVELOPING THERE.

AND ALREADY THAT'S KIND OF THEY NEED THAT EXTENSION.

AND THEN WE'VE GOT.

THE OTHER DEVELOPMENT OF.

SETTLER. SO FIND ASSISTANCE IN THIS FORUM.

SINCE THE OTHER DEVELOPER.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS THEY'RE NOT READY TO START.

DOING PLANTS AND STUFF.

SO HOW DO WE MAKE THAT CONNECTION NOW? IF THEY'RE NOT STARTING THEIR DEVELOPMENT? I JUMP IN? YEAH, PLEASE.

EXCELLENT QUESTION.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF MICHELLE MCNULTY'S ONLINE.

VIRTUALLY. MAYBE NOT.

THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THESE DISCUSSIONS, MICHELLE.

AND OTHERS IN CD.

STERLING, KEVIN FITZELL IS A BIG PLAYER IN THIS.

JOANNE AND MYSELF ARE AT THE TABLE.

THERE'S BEEN A LARGE GROUP, AND WE MEET, LIKE, EVERY 1 OR 2 WEEKS.

WE MET YESTERDAY.

OKAY. SO THAT'S BACKSTORY.

THE YOU'RE GOING TO COUNCIL IS GOING TO GET A HIGH LEVEL DISCUSSION OF THIS.

WE THINK ON APRIL 9TH, CORRECT? STACEY. YES. OKAY.

YOUR THE QUESTION THAT YOU FRAMED IS SPOT ON.

WE SEE DEVELOPMENT CURRENTLY ON WHAT WE'RE CALLING THE BOOKENDS OF THIS PROJECT.

THE LARGE PARCELS IN THE MIDDLE HAVE NO DEVELOPMENT PLANS AT THIS TIME.

AND WE DON'T KNOW WHEN WHEN THAT WILL HAPPEN.

PERSONALLY, I THINK THAT'S A GOOD THING VERSUS A SITUATION WHERE THERE'S A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL ON THE TABLE DRIVING THIS PROJECT.

AND THAT THAT COULD JUST BE ENORMOUS.

RIGHT. SO IT'S NOT THAT WE HAVE SOME DEVELOPMENT OCCURRING ON THE BOOKENDS CANYON, DEL RIO AND JUNIPER POINT, RESPECTIVELY, AND THEN SOME EXISTING RESIDENTIAL, AS YOU SEE, TO THE EAST.

COUNCIL. AND THE PRECEDING COUNCIL HAS HEARD A LOT FROM THE RESIDENTS OUT THERE.

BUT YOU'LL HEAR ON APRIL 9TH IS AND THIS IS THE PRODUCT OF ALL THESE MEETINGS I'M SPEAKING OF, IS SOMETHING VERY, VERY CLOSE TO THE FINALIZED ALIGNMENT.

LIKE, IT'S SO CLOSE THAT ANY TWEAKS GOING FORWARD WILL REALLY NOT BE VISIBLE TO TOO MUCH ON A MAP.

THEY'LL THEY'LL BE ENGINEERING REVISIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, AND NOT NECESSARILY THE ALIGNMENT AS YOU SEE NOW DEPICTED.

WHAT YOU'LL SEE ON APRIL 9TH IS GOING TO LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT YOU'RE SEEING RIGHT NOW.

BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN SO MUCH ENGINEERING GOING INTO IT.

THERE WILL BE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE TOPOGRAPHY OUT THERE, ABOUT THE THE DRAINAGES, THE HILLSIDES, THE STEEP TERRAIN RECREATIONAL TRAILS, ARIZONA TRAIL AND A NUMBER OF RELATED TOPICS.

AT THE TABLE NOW ALSO, AND KEVIN FINKEL IS HELPING US OUT QUITE A BIT ON THIS.

WE'RE BEGINNING TO TALK ABOUT FUNDING POSSIBILITIES.

I DON'T THINK WE'LL GET INTO THAT ON APRIL 9TH.

BUT THE. THE TAKEAWAY.

THE IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY IS THAT THERE'S CONSENSUS WITH ALL THE LANDOWNERS THAT ARE DIRECTLY.

TO BUY BY THIS ALIGNMENT.

SO IT'S SO UNUSUAL TO HAVE A PROJECT OF THIS SIZE.

WHERE. THERE'S A CONSENSUS BY ALL THOSE WHO ARE IMPACTED BY THIS DIRECTLY.

AND THEN GOING BACK TO THE RESIDENTS TO THE EAST.

YOU KNOW, THEY WILL HAVE THE ACCESS THAT THEY'VE BEEN DESIRING WITHOUT HAVING AN ARTERIAL CUT THROUGH THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.

I'M NOT SAYING WE WILL WIN EVERYBODY OVER WITH THIS ALIGNMENT, BUT WE THINK IT PROPERLY ADDRESSES MUCH OF WHAT THIS COUNCIL AND THE PRECEDING COUNCIL HAVE HEARD.

THERE'S A LOT OF PROBLEMS BEING SOLVED HERE AS TO THE DEVELOPMENT IN THE MIDDLE TRACKS.

YOU KNOW, THAT'LL BE A THING IN THE FUTURE.

WE'RE GOING AS FAR NOW AS TO TALK ABOUT ACCESS POINTS AND WHERE SIDE STREETS MAY INTERSECT.

BUT WE'RE NOT INTO THE LAND USE REALM TOO MUCH THERE.

SO WHAT ELSE CAN I TELL YOU? IT'S A VERY EXCITING PROJECT.

AGAIN, I THINK THERE'S BENEFIT IN SEEING THE PROJECT HAPPEN THAT WHEN IT'S NOT ENTIRELY DRIVEN BY DEVELOPMENT.

AND AGAIN, A PROJECT THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE COMMUNITY THAT IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH OUR REGIONAL PLAN.

AND WE'LL BRING ABOUT A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES.

[02:00:03]

I'M PROBABLY STEALING A LOT OF THUNDER AND MAKING THESE COMMENTS.

THE ROAD PROFILE HERE AS YOU WILL SEE ON APRIL 9TH AND THE ENGINEERS ARE WORKING ON THIS.

JEFF BAUMAN, I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S HOME.

HE CERTAINLY CAN COMMENT ON THIS.

HE'S BEEN VERY ACTIVE WITH THIS AND OTHERS IN HIS TEAM.

I THINK WE'RE LOOKING AT A A ROAD DESIGN THAT IT WILL BE POSTED POTENTIALLY AT WITH A 35 MILE AN HOUR SPEED LIMIT. COULD BE BY DESIGN, COULD GO UP TO, YOU KNOW, 40 MILES AN HOUR.

BUT I THINK THAT'S THE DISCUSSION EVENTUALLY FOR THIS COUNCIL.

BUT I THINK RIGHT NOW WHAT'S ON THE TABLE IS TO CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE'VE BEEN HEARING FROM COUNCIL AND THE COMMUNITY IS TO HAVE THE SPEED A LITTLE LOWER.

THE EXCITING ELEMENTS OF THIS ARE THE BIKE AND PED.

APARTMENTS AS WELL.

OFF OFF ROAD BIKE AND PED AND A LOT OF GREAT FEATURES.

SORRY TO GET LONG WINDED ON THAT.

JOANNE, YOU'VE BEEN AT THE TABLE.

JUMP IN PLEASE. I GUESS THE JUST THE ONE THING THAT I WOULD SAY IS THAT THIS MAP IS AN OLDER MAP.

SO I THINK FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN THE ROOM BUT ALSO WATCHING ONLINE, YOU'LL SEE A NEWER ALIGNMENT MAP ON APRIL 9TH.

AND THEN I THINK JUST KIND OF MORE OF THE TEAM THAT'S BEEN INVOLVED IN THE DETAILS WILL BE AT THAT PRESENTATION.

UP, AS TREVOR MENTIONED, DAVID PETERSON AS THE PROJECT MANAGER AND HE'S ON VACATION.

BUT I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO ADD.

IT'S BEEN IT'S BEEN A GREAT PROCESS, AND IT REALLY FEELS LIKE WE'RE MOVING FORWARD IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION.

AND THE ROADS WILL ALSO ACCOMMODATE FOR WILDLIFE, WILDLIFE CROSSING.

ALTHOUGH WHEN THE DEVELOPMENT COMES, THAT MAY NOT BE A GOOD POINT, BUT I KNOW THERE'S A BIG HERD OF ELK OUT THERE IN THAT CORRIDOR.

HOW LONG IS THAT ROAD FROM WHERE IT ENDS? OVER BY PINE CANYON TO BUTLER.

IT'S JEFF BAUMAN WITH US OR ANYBODY WITH EYES IN THE BACK.

YEAH. HE'S HIDING. HEY, JEFF.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING WAY BACK THERE? SO. BUT THAT'S OKAY.

THIS IS GENERALLY HIDE FOR SO LONG.

JEFF. OKAY, SO THE QUESTION WAS HOW? WEAR IT PLUS OR MINUS TWO MILES.

YEAH, IT'S IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF TWO MILES WHERE IT'S.

IT ENDS RIGHT NOW AT PINE CANYON.

YEAH. SO WHAT'S SHOWN ON THE YELLOW IS TWO MILES.

AND ON APRIL 8TH OR NINTH.

WILL WE ALSO, IS IT TOO PREMATURE TO TALK ABOUT FUNDING OPTIONS.

FAR AS THE DEVELOPERS THAT AREN'T EVEN READY TO START DESIGNING STUFF.

THAT FUNDING FUNDING, I THINK WE CAN PRESENT SOME SOME HIGH LEVEL DISCUSSIONS OUTCOMES THAT THAT.

BUT IT'S VERY MUCH AN ACTIVE CONVERSATION.

I'LL SHARE WITH YOU THIS.

AND PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I MISSTATE.

THE IDEA HERE IS TO TO SINCE SINCE EVERYBODY'S AGREEING AS TO THE ALIGNMENT AND SO FORTH, AND THE FUNDING, YOU KNOW, IS WHAT WE GET THAT TOTALLY FINALIZED IS TO SEE THIS ROAD HAPPEN.

EVEN THOUGH A LOT OF THE LAND USE ASSOCIATED WITH IT REMAINS UNCERTAIN.

I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR THE PROPERTY OWNERS, BUT THE BIG ONE IN THE IN THE MIDDLE, THE LIGHT BLUE COLOR.

THAT'S LITTLE AMERICA.

THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO DEVELOPMENT PLANS.

BUT THEY THEY CERTAINLY AT THE TABLE AS A PARTNER.

AND THEN BACK TO YOUR EARLIER QUESTION ABOUT WILDLIFE.

I MEAN, IRONICALLY, THAT WAS DISCUSSED YESTERDAY MORNING.

THAT'S RIGHT. YOU WANT TO SHARE SOME IDEAS THERE? YEAH. I MIGHT GO OVER TO THE MAP.

AND AS EVERYONE'S MENTIONED, THIS IS KIND OF AN OLDER ALIGNMENT, BUT WHERE THE RIO GOES THROUGH, WHICH IS THE YEAR.

THERE'LL BE.

AND THEN THE STRUCTURE TYPE HASN'T BEEN DETERMINED, BUT THE ROAD WILL BE OVER THE DRAINAGE MORE THAN IT NEEDS TO BE OVER THE DRAINAGE SO THAT WE CAN GET AN UNDERPASS THROUGH FOR THE ARIZONA TRAIL SO WE CAN WILDLIFE THROUGH.

AND OF COURSE, THE WATER NEEDS TO GET THROUGH AS WELL.

SO WE'RE GOING TO OVER DESIGN, IF YOU WILL, THE ROAD CROSSINGS AND GET ALL THOSE THINGS THROUGH.

AND YEAH, WE'LL WE CAN TOUCH ON THAT ON APRIL 9TH AS WELL BECAUSE WE HAVE THAT PETERSON'S KIND OF THE EXPERT ON THIS AND HE'S NOT HERE.

BUT YES WE HAVE A REALLY COOL GAME AND FISH STUDY.

YEAH. AND HE'S SEEN BEFORE WITH ALL THE ELK TRACKING THAT SHOWS.

YEAH. THIS WETLANDS UP HERE IS REALLY POPULAR OF COURSE WITH THE ELK.

I THINK IT'S LIKE 130 SOMETHING ELK THAT SOMEBODY COUNTS THEM I GUESS.

YEAH. YEAH.

SO WE CAN TOUCH ON THAT ON APRIL 9TH.

YES. COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS.

[02:05:01]

ARE THERE UTILITIES UNDER THERE? ARE WE DOING ANY INFRASTRUCTURE? WATER. SEWER? ANY OF THAT STUFF OR JUST THE ROAD? YES. SO EVERYTHING FOR A COMPLETE STREET.

SO WATER, SEWER, STORM DRAIN.

ALSO LOOKING TO WORKING WITH FRANCHISE UTILITIES IF THEY NEED TO MAKE SOME THROUGH THEIR SOME INFRASTRUCTURE.

DEFINITELY WORK WITH OUR IT DEPARTMENT FOR THE FIBER IF THAT'S NECESSARY.

YEAH. OKAY.

AND THEN THE THE THE GREEN SQUARES ARE THOSE INDIVIDUAL HOMES OR PROPERTY.

YEAH. OR WHATEVER. YES.

SO THIS I THINK THE WAY THIS MAP IS BUILT, THE GREEN IS THE COUNTY ISLAND.

THOSE ARE ALL COUNTY RESIDENTS.

AND THEN THIS IS THE CITY.

OH, THE YELLOW IS THE YELLOW OR THE PARCELS IN THE CITY.

SO IT'S A LITTLE OUT THERE.

AND THOSE ARE ALL INDIVIDUAL PARCELS.

AND SO THEN RIGHT NOW, SYMMETRY AND.

FOLKS THAT WE KNOW OF ANY SPECIFIC PLANS, BUT EVENTUALLY THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT.

RIGHT? SO ANY DEL RIO IS VERY ACTIVE.

YOU CAN SEE THE TOP HALF GOING ON AND THEY'RE JUST SUBMITTING NOW.

YEAH, LITTLE AMERICA IS NOT ACTIVE.

GIBSON IS NOT ACTIVE.

CEMETERY IS VERY ACTIVE.

THIS IS THE STATE TRUST LAND 405.

AND THEY'RE KIND OF IN PROCESS OF OF SUBMITTING KIND OF A SOUTHERN THE IDS PROCESS AND PLANNING COMMISSION.

OKAY. AND SO OUR BECAUSE WE'RE PUTTING THE ROAD IN ARE THEY TYING INTO THE UTILITIES THAT ARE GOING TO BE OUT THERE.

YES THEY ARE TYING IN PICKING UP SOME OF THAT COST.

UTILITY. WELL, SO AS TREVOR MENTIONED, IT'S THE 4060 SPLIT.

BUT IT'S IT'S GOING TO BE MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT.

BUT GENERALLY 40% OF THE COST THE CITY AND 60% IS, YOU KNOW, THESE PROPERTY OWNERS.

BECAUSE THEY WILL BE OKAY.

THANK YOU. STEVE.

AND CAN I GET YOU TO IS THAT OKAY? MAYOR, IF WE TAKE A QUESTION FROM THE PUBLIC.

SURE. COME ON UP, STEVE.

IF NEED BE. I THINK YOU'RE FINE RIGHT THERE.

WONDERING. SO YOU HAVE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE YOU'RE TALKING TO ABOUT DEVELOPMENT HOUSING UNITS.

SO WHAT'S THE POTENTIAL, GIVEN THE CONVERSATIONS YOU'RE HAVING WITH PEOPLE NOW AND POTENTIALLY DOWN THE ROAD OF MORE HOUSING UNITS? VERY GOOD QUESTION. HE'S.

MICHELLE MCNULTY. NO, WE HAVE IDS.

IDS. OKAY, SO SHE'S IN THAT ROOM NOW? YEAH. THAT'S THE.

OH, YEAH. PAUL, COME ON UP, PLEASE.

YEAH. AND JEFF CAN MAYBE JUMP INTO BECAUSE HE'S BEEN LOOKING AT SOME AT SOME OF THE TRAFFIC STUDIES.

BUT THE WATER SEWER IMPACT ANALYSIS FOR THE STATE TRUST LAND 405.

SO KIND OF THE FULL PROJECT, THEY WERE SHOWING ROUGHLY 1000 HOMES.

AND AND THE AND THE RESORT GOLF COURSE.

JUNIPER POINT.

THE COMPLETE JUNIPER POINT OR.

YEAH, IT'S LIKE 1400 HUNDRED UNITS.

YES. YEAH.

AND THEN THEY HAD A THEY'RE LOOKING AT COMING IN FOR A.

RISEN ABOVE THE WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE MONSTER? THE BOW AND ARROW WASH.

AND THAT REASON WOULD INCLUDE SOME COMMERCIAL AND SOME MULTIFAMILY UNITS AS WELL.

SO, YEAH, THERE COULD BE A LOT OF.

THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF BACK THERE.

YES. CANYON DEL RIO.

JEFF WOULD KNOW BETTER THAN ME.

THAT'S A LONG TIME.

THAT'S A LOT. YEAH, IT'S OVER A THOUSAND.

I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT NUMBER.

YEAH, AND IT'S A MIXTURE OF SINGLE FAMILY CONDOS, MULTI-FAMILY, A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING, AND SOME COMMERCIAL.

YEAH. SO IT'S GOING TO BE BIG DEVELOPMENT IN THAT AREA.

SO IF, IF, IF, IF WE PUT IN, WE GO TO WHERE WE'RE GOING TO PUT IN ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND EVERYTHING.

AND THEY'RE GOING TO PAY US 60%.

DO WE HAVE ANY LEVERAGE TO TALK ABOUT AFFORDABILITY.

IS THERE NOT HAVING TO HAVE TO PICK UP THE WHOLE COST.

IS THAT AN OPTION? I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A STERLING QUESTION OR NOT, BUT IS THERE ANY OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A DISCUSSION? ABOUT SOME AFFORDABILITY BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT PICKING UP ALL THE COSTS.

TYPICALLY, THE DEVELOPER WOULD WRITE, WRITE, WRITE COUNCIL MEMBER.

I THINK THERE'S ALWAYS OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS.

[02:10:04]

AND. I THINK ALSO IN THE CONTEXT OF THE, YOU KNOW, REZONINGS THAT FOLLOW NOT SO MUCH IN THE CONTEXT OF THE ROAD ITSELF, WHERE THE COST SHARING IS JUST GOING INTO INFRASTRUCTURE.

BUT AS I NOTED EARLIER EVEN THOUGH THE QUESTION WAS ABOUT WHAT POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR HOUSING UNITS, THE LAND USE DISCUSSIONS ON, ON ON THAT, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THEM ARE ACTIVE, SOME OF THEM, YOU KNOW, AREN'T AREN'T EVEN ON THE TABLE.

BUT I THINK THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES TO HAVE THOSE DISCUSSION DISCUSSIONS.

AND TO YOUR POINT ALSO, THERE'S A LITTLE PARCEL THAT'S YOU CAN SEE THERE.

THANK YOU. IT'S ACTUALLY OWNED BY THE CITY.

AND THAT I THINK COULD COULD PLAY INTO YOUR QUESTION IN ADDITION TO HOUSING, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT WE WILL BE LOOKING AT ON THIS CORRIDOR IN THE CONVERSATION IS IS ACTIVE NOW IS A NEW FIRE STATION.

THAT WOULD BE FIRE STATION SEVEN.

SOMEWHERE ON THIS CORRIDOR THERE WILL BE A FIRE STATION.

AND WE HEAR THAT FROM OUR FIRE CHIEF AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT THAT THERE IS A NEED.

WE JUST DON'T KNOW THE SPECIFICS YET, BUT THESE ARE ALL THINGS FOR FUTURE DISCUSSIONS.

OKAY, SO WE WILL BUY SEVEN ACRES.

FROM A LEGAL PERSPECTIVE, I JUST ECHO GREG ON THE FACT THAT, YES, THOSE CONVERSATIONS ARE ALWAYS AN OPTION DEVELOPER.

WILLINGNESS. IT ALWAYS WANTS TO TALK IT THROUGH.

OKAY. IT DOESN'T GET US IN ANY LEGAL TROUBLE BECAUSE I HEARD SOMEONE SAY ONCE, YOU CAN'T.

FORCE PEOPLE TO DO.

WE CAN'T FORCE THEM TO DO AFFORDABLE OR WORKFORCE OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT, MARKET HOUSING OR WHATEVER.

BUT IF, IF, IF THEY'RE GETTING A BREAK.

IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY PAY TO TIE IN TO WHAT WE HAVE.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE PAYING THE BIG SHARE OF IT.

SO, YEAH, YOU'RE TOUCHING ON ARIZONA HAS AN INCLUSIONARY ZONING STATUTE THAT PROHIBITS CITIES FROM REQUIRING.

THAT SAID, IT DOESN'T STOP US FROM PROVIDING INCENTIVES AND HAVING THAT CONVERSATION, AS GREG SAID, THAT WE'RE HAVING.

YEAH. THANK YOU STERLING. AND I CAN ADD WITH VERY QUICK EXAMPLES BECAUSE IT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION.

THIS COUNCIL IN VERY RECENT TIMES HAS IN A SIGNIFICANT WAY INCENTIVIZED A LOT OF HOUSING.

228 UNITS ON THE RAUS TRACT THROUGH THE INCENTIVE POLICY.

THAT THAT WAS FROM THIS COUNCIL.

MONTHS AGO. AND RECENTLY YOU KNOW, AN UPFRONT APPROVAL ON THE FOUNDATION FOR SENIOR LIVING PROJECT DOWNTOWN.

AND THAT'S ALL INCENTIVE.

I WOULD IMAGINE THAT THOSE DISCUSSIONS WILL LOOK SIMILAR IN THE FUTURE ON THESE TRACKS.

I DON'T KNOW THAT I WOULD AGREE WITH THE CHARACTERIZATION THAT PEOPLE ARE GETTING A BREAK ON.

THIS IS COST SHARING ON A LOT OF INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT IT'S SIGNIFICANT AND I DON'T THINK ANY THERE'S NO DISCOUNTED YOU KNOW, COST SHARING THAT'S OCCURRING.

IT'S IT'S REAL TIME COST SHARING OF WHAT WE PROJECT TO BE THE TOTAL COST OVER TIME AS PEOPLE CONNECT ON TO UTILITIES.

THERE WILL, OF COURSE BE ALL THOSE CONNECTION FEES, TAP FEES AND SO FORTH JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DEVELOPMENT.

BUT I THINK CENTRAL TO YOUR QUESTION, THE THERE WILL BE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING, I THINK, ON THROUGHOUT THIS CORRIDOR, JUST AS THERE HAVE BEEN IN RECENT DEVELOPMENTS ELSEWHERE.

SUCCESS TO.

AND I JUST JUMP IN, I THINK FOR.

OKAY, I THINK IT WOULD LIKE TO KEEP US MOVING, BUT I DO THINK THAT APRIL 9TH WILL BE ABLE TO GET INTO MORE OF THESE DETAILS.

WE'LL HAVE PLANNERS AND HOUSING PEOPLE AT THE TABLE.

OUR FUNDING PORTION IS THE PROP FOR.

CLASSIFICATION TASKS.

THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION.

THANK YOU FOR THE DISCUSSION.

ON LONE TREE OVERPASS.

SO THIS IS PROPOSITION FOR 20.

IN THE BOND THAT WAS VOTED ON IN 2018.

IN. WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS A TREE WILL BE EXTENDED.

WHERE? WHERE IT ENDS NOW AT BUTLER AVENUE.

AND IT WILL GO NORTH OVER THE RAILROAD TRACKS AND TIE IN TO ROUTE 36.

SO INCLUDED WITH THAT IS AN OVERPASS.

WITH IT. UNDERNEATH THE OVERPASS IS RAIL WORK THAT WILL HAVE TO DO WITH BNSF, SO WE'LL HAVE TO LOWER THOSE RAILS TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING CAN WORK PROPERLY.

[02:15:09]

SO THAT'S WHY THIS SLIDE IS CALLED THE OVERPASS AND CORRIDOR.

SO WE'RE COMBINING PROPOSITION FOR 20 AND PORTIONS OF 419 TO THIS PROJECT AND THIS SLIDE.

SO CURRENTLY WE'RE AT ABOUT 118 MILLION ESTIMATE.

AND THAT AGAIN THAT'S BOTH PROJECTS.

AND WE'VE BEEN KIND OF WORKING THROUGH DESIGN ABOUT 9 MILLION CONSTRUCTION ROUGHLY.

WE'RE ESTIMATING AT 82 MILLION.

AND THEN THE REST IS REAL ESTATE STAFF TIME AND PERMITS 27 MILLION.

WE'RE KIND OF OUR ESTIMATES RIGHT NOW.

WE ARE WORKING ACTIVELY ON REAL ESTATE ACQUISITIONS.

SO WE JUST NEVER KNOW WHERE THAT'S GOING TO GO.

AND SOME OF THOSE ITEMS HAVE BEEN IN FRONT OF YOU BEFORE.

AGAIN, PROPOSITION FOR 2419 SCHEDULE WISE, WE'RE HOPING TO BE COMPLETE WITH THE DESIGN THIS YEAR AND THEN KIND OF MOVE INTO CONSTRUCTION.

SO THERE WILL BE AT LEAST THREE SEASONS OF CONSTRUCTION.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

AND THE GOOD THING ABOUT THAT IS WE'RE HOPING TO BE IN FRONT OF YOU IN EARLY MAY WITH GMP NUMBER TWO.

NUMBER TWO WILL BE FOR WORK CORRIDOR.

SO IT'LL BE JUST SOUTH OF THE OVERPASS AND THEN GOING SOUTH ALL THE WAY TO O'LEARY.

SO THAT'LL BE GMP NUMBER TWO.

AND THAT'LL BE THERE IN FRONT OF YOU HOPEFULLY IN MAY.

AND THEN WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE LOOKING AT POSSIBLY GMP NUMBER THREE, WHICH WILL BE WORK RELATED TO THE OVERPASS AND SOME OF THE RAIL WORK THAT WE'LL BE DOING WITH BNSF. AND WE'RE HOPING TO BE IN FRONT OF YOU LATER THIS FALL THAT GMP NUMBER THREE.

SO SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS THE DESIGN IS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE.

SO EVERYTHING THAT YOU SEE THERE IS DESIGNED TO A SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION.

THIS IS A DESIGN BUILD PROJECT.

DESIGNER IS WSP AND THEY ARE PART OF OUR ON CALL.

BUT WE DID DO A DESIGN SERVICES CONTRACT WITH THEM IN OUR BUILDER IS AMES AMES CONSTRUCTION.

SO A LOT OF GOOD ACTIVITY AND COORDINATION GOING ON THERE.

ONE THING I DIDN'T WANT TO MENTION IS WE WILL HAVE A PUBLIC MEETING APRIL 4TH AT CITY HALL.

SO THAT IS PART OF THE PROGRAM OR PART OF THE INTENT TO HAVE THIS PROJECT GIVE AN UPDATE, TALK ABOUT THE PROJECT IN GENERAL.

PROBABLY GO OVER SOME OF THESE DETAILS ON PEOPLE, BUT THAT WILL BE IN A PUBLIC SETTING.

ANOTHER ITEM THAT YOU MIGHT SEE SOON IS MAYBE SOME AGREEMENTS WITH BNSF.

SO WE WE HAVE TO GET THOSE IN IN ORDER WITH THEM.

KIND OF EVERYBODY MAKES SURE WE'RE AGREED TO ON, ON WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO ACROSS THEIR RIGHT OF WAY.

AND AGAIN, THIS PROJECT IS ACTIVELY WORKING WITH THE RIO DE FLAG FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT AND THEN SOME OTHER PROJECTS KIND OF ON THE, ON THE OUTSIDE, THE BUTLER WORK THAT WE'RE DOING THERE, BUTLER AVENUE.

OR SO. THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I HAVE THERE.

ANY QUESTIONS? LET'S SEE. WHEN IS THE PUBLIC MEETING? NEXT THURSDAY. APRIL 4TH AT CITY HALL.

IT WILL BE THE PUBLIC MEETING IN THE EVENING.

IN THE EVENING? I BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO START AT 530.

THANK YOU. HOWEVER, I HAVE A QUICK ONE.

WE HAVE HEARD CHRISTINE CAMERON SPEAK TO THIS BEFORE, AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S SOMETHING YOU CAN SPEAK TO AS WELL, BUT THE IDEA HERE, TYING A COUPLE OF THESE PROJECTS TOGETHER, GOING BACK TO THE DOWNTOWN MILE AND NOW THIS.

IDEA HOPEFULLY, IS TO HAVE THIS COMPLETED PRIOR TO SOME OF THE CONSTRUCTION ON MILTON THAT WILL RESULT IN SOME SIGNIFICANT WORDS.

IS THAT CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT.

SO THE SO MAYBE TO TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER, THE RIO DE FLAG FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT.

SO THE RIO DE FLAG FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT WILL CROSS FIVE POINTS.

THAT INTERSECTION THERE AND IT'S A BOX CULVERT.

I'LL TALK A LITTLE MORE LATER ON THAT PROJECT, BUT ESSENTIALLY WE'RE TAKING A BOX CULVERT APPROXIMATELY 15, 16FT DEEP INTO THE GROUND THROUGH THAT INTERSECTION.

SO WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN FOR THAT PROJECT IN ORDER TO DO THAT WORK IS WE NEED THE OVERPASS COMPLETED, WHICH THEN ALSO TIES INTO THE BRIDGE FOR THIS PROJECT OR FOR THE DOWNTOWN MILE.

SO THOSE THREE ARE KIND OF WORKING TOGETHER.

SOME IMPROVEMENTS WILL HELP THE OTHER TWO.

PROJECT WILL HELP THE OTHER TWO.

[02:20:01]

PATIENT SEQUENCING.

OH YES IT DOES.

WE HAVE SEEN SOME PROJECTIONS THAT WHEN THIS LONE TREE OVERPASS IS COMPLETED.

WILL BE SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC RELIEF.

YES. ON SOME OF THESE OTHER CORRIDORS, INCLUDING MILTON.

YES. SO WE ARE PROJECTED TO BE COMPLETE WITH THE OVERPASS THIS PROJECT BY 2027.

AND SO SOME OF THE COORDINATION WITH THE RIO DE FLAG PROJECT WON'T DO THE INTERSECTION AT FIVE POINTS UNTIL 2027.

SO IT WILL BE ONE OF THE LAST ITEMS OF WORK FOR THE RIO DE FLAG PROJECT.

STAGE ONE, WHICH IS EVERYTHING SOUTH OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS.

DOES EVERYONE KNOW WHAT FIVE POINTS IS WHEN TREVOR MENTIONED.

SO IT'S CLAY, MILTON AND BUTLER WHERE THEY COME TOGETHER.

AND LIKE SPIKE.

NICE. ON.

THE NEXT PROJECT IS THE BUTLER FOURTH IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.

WE'VE BEEN BEFORE YOU BEFORE.

SO THE THE IDEA HERE IS WE'RE GOING TO DO IMPROVEMENTS TO BUTLER AVENUE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO IOWA HEIGHTS.

GOING TO DO A COMPLETE STREETS CORRIDOR.

SO WE ARE GOING TO TAKE THE EXISTING TWO LANES.

MAKE TWO LANES IN EITHER DIRECTION MEDIAN SEPARATING THEM.

WE WILL HAVE A PARKWAY.

AND THEN WE WILL HAVE STREET OFF STREET FACILITIES FOR BICYCLES AND PEDESTRIANS.

SO THAT'S THE BIG THE BIG ITEM I WANTED TO TOUCH ON IS JUST THAT BIKE FACILITIES AND PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES WILL BE OFF STREET.

AGAIN, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT BICYCLISTS WANTING TO BE IN THE STREET, AND THAT IS ALLOWED.

THAT'S JUST UP TO THEIR COMFORT LEVEL.

BUT WE WILL OFFER OFF STREET BIKE FACILITIES.

BUDGET RIGHT NOW IS ABOUT 16 MILLION CONSTRUCTION, 14 MILLION.

DESIGN AND ACQUISITION.

WE'RE ABOUT. SO ONE THING I DID WANT TO MENTION TO THE COUNCIL IS WE DID APPLY FOR A RAISE GRANT, WHICH IS.

REBUILDING AMERICAN INFRASTRUCTURE WITH SUSTAINABILITY AND EQUITY.

SO THAT GRANT WAS SUBMITTED THE APPLICATION AT THE END OF FEBRUARY, AND WE HOPE TO HEAR RESULTS IN LATE JUNE.

IF SUCCESSFUL, WE DO HAVE OUR MATCH READY TO GO.

THE GRANT ITSELF IS 19 MILLION AND OUR MATCH WILL BE 10 MILLION.

AND THIS PROJECT IS FUNDED BY FOR 19.

SOME OF THE UPDATES I WANTED TO GIVE HERE IS WE HAVE COMPLETED THE MAJORITY OF OUR SCOPING.

SO WHAT WE REFER TO THAT OR WHAT WE KIND OF MEAN BY THAT IS WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE BUILDING THE RIGHT PROJECT.

WE WE ACTIVELY KIND OF DID GET INTO DESIGN QUICKLY.

WE WANTED TO SCOPE THE PROJECT, TALK WITH THE COMMUNITY AND MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING THE RIGHT PROJECT.

WE DID HAVE A PUBLIC MEETING IN APRIL OR IN OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR AT THE AQUAPLEX, AND WE WENT THROUGH THIS PROJECT AND JUST KIND OF DIVED INTO THE DETAILS, MADE SURE EVERYBODY WAS AWARE OF WHAT WE WERE DOING, JUST MAKING SURE IT IS THE RIGHT PROJECT MOVING FORWARD.

WE HOPE TO MOVE INTO A 30% DESIGN LEVEL, POSSIBLY IN JULY OF THIS YEAR.

SO WE'LL KIND OF GET GOING THERE.

ONCE WE GET TO THAT POINT, THEN WE WILL LOOK TO GET A CONSTRUCTION MANAGER.

TO DELIVER THIS PROJECT.

AND I WOULD SAY BY THE LATER PARTS OF 2024, WE SHOULD HAVE THAT SEEMA ON BOARD.

AND AGAIN, IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO GET THE SEEMA ON BOARD BECAUSE THEY'RE THE EXPERTS.

THEY DELIVER THE CONSTRUCTION.

THEY CAN GIVE US ADVICE ON HOW CERTAIN THINGS ARE WORKING TOGETHER.

DIDN'T WANT TO MENTION TO THE COUNCIL THAT WE ARE WORKING ON THE ROUNDABOUTS.

THERE'S ROUNDABOUTS AT BUTLER AND FORTH AND HAROLD RANCH ROAD.

SO THOSE ROUNDABOUTS.

SCOPED AND.

CONTENT OR WHAT EXPECTATIONS MIGHT BE, BUT WE'RE NOT FINALIZED YET BECAUSE WE'RE STILL WORKING.

I THINK COUNCIL MEMBER MCCARTHY USED THE TECHNICAL TERM TWEAKING.

SO WE ARE KIND OF LOOKING AT THEM, MAKING SURE THEY'RE GOING TO WORK AND SUFFICIENT.

SO AGAIN, COUNCIL MIGHT SEE SOME GAPS.

HOPEFULLY LATER IN THE YEAR WE'LL HAVE A CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK SOMETIME THIS YEAR, AND THEN WE WILL COME BEFORE YOU WITH A DESIGN SERVICES CONTRACT IN JULY TO JUST CONTINUE THAT EFFORT TO MAKE SURE THIS PROJECT MOVES FORWARD.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THIS PROJECT? OKAY, SO THIS IS THE BUTLER AVENUE RAISED BIKE LANE.

[02:25:01]

ALSO REFERRED TO AS BARBEL.

SO WHERE DID THAT COME FROM? THE ACRONYM BARBEL.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO ASK MARTIN.

I HAD ANOTHER ACRONYM FOR IT, BUT.

BUT SO THIS IS THE BUTLER AVENUE BUTLER PROTECTED INTERSECTIONS AND BIKE LANES.

SO THIS PROJECT KIND OF IS A RESULT OF WHAT WE DID FOR THE BIKE LANES PILOT PROGRAM THAT WE DID APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS AGO.

WHERE WE PUT THE BUMPERS OUT.

WE HAD A BIKE LANE THAT KIND OF SEPARATED.

SO THIS PROJECT SPAWNED OFF OF THAT TO WHERE NOW WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A RAISED, SEPARATED BIKE LANE.

SO WE ARE GOING TO TAKE THE CURRENT BIKE LANE ON BOTH SIDES OF BUTLER AVENUE, AND WE'RE GOING TO RAISE THEM AND WE'LL ALLOW THE BICYCLISTS TO MOVE TO USE THAT RAISED SEPARATED BIKE LANE.

PEDESTRIANS WILL STILL BE ABLE TO WALK WHERE THE SIDEWALK CURRENTLY IS, AND THEN WE'LL JUST HAVE TO MODIFY DRIVEWAYS, STORM DRAINS, ENTRANCES, STUFF LIKE THAT.

INFRASTRUCTURE. BUDGET RIGHT NOW IS ESTIMATED AT 12 MILLION.

AND WE ARE.

WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN RECEIVING A SAFE STREETS FOR ALL GRANT THAT SAYS FOR A IN THE AMOUNT OF 9.6 MILLION AND INCLUDED IN THAT INCLUDED IN THE PROJECT.

ALSO WANTED TO MENTION ARE PROTECTED INTERSECTIONS.

THERE WILL BE THREE AT BEAVER, SAN FRANCISCO AND SALIMAN.

WILL ALSO BE PROTECTED INTERSECTIONS.

WE ALSO WILL HAVE AN ENHANCED CROSSING AT O'LEARY.

SO THAT WILL BE A CROSSING WHERE PEDESTRIANS CAN COME UP, HIT THE BUTTON.

BICYCLISTS CAN ALSO COME UP AND USE THAT SAME FACILITY TO CROSS SAFELY OF BUTLER AVENUE.

WE WILL ALSO DO SOME UPGRADES TO AN EXISTING CROSSING AT HUMPHREYS.

SO RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF THE HIGH COUNTRY CONFERENCE CENTER.

SO WE'LL ALSO DO SOME.

CURRENTLY WE ARE WORKING WITH STAFF JUST TO CONTINUE THE DISCUSSION WITH THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION.

SO THEY ARE THE ONES THAT WE NEED TO COORDINATE AND ABIDE BY FOR THE SEFORA GRANT.

SO WE'RE CONTINUING TO WORK THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

WE HOPE TO BEGIN DESIGN SOON, BUT WE STILL NEED TO WORK THROUGH THE.

AGREEMENTS IN PLACE AND WHAT WE CAN DO WITH THE GRANT FOR THIS PROJECT.

TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS.

BUTLER AVENUE RAISED BIKE LANES.

SO THIS NEXT PROJECT IS THE FOURTH LOCK AT CEDAR ROUNDABOUT.

WE'VE BEEN BEFORE YOU BEFORE ON THIS PROJECT WITH AN UPDATE AND SOME OTHER IDEAS AND AMENDMENTS.

SO THIS PROJECT WILL PROVIDE A ROUNDABOUT AT THIS EXISTING INTERSECTION.

AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S KIND OF OFFSET A LITTLE BIT.

BUT AGAIN, THAT WAS KIND OF THE WAY THE DESIGN CAME UP TO FIT A ROUNDABOUT.

AND ALSO TO ENSURE THAT THE MOTORISTS AND VEHICLES ARE MOVING THROUGH IN A SAFE MANNER.

WE HAVE CROSSINGS.

WHO? TWO OF THE INTERSECTIONS.

SO THIS IS AN OLDER PHOTO.

NORTH AND EAST ARE NOT Z CROSSINGS.

THEY'RE ABLE TO FIT Z CROSSINGS ON WEST AND SOUTH LAKES.

SO INCLUDED WILL BE PEDESTRIAN FLASHING BEACONS, SO THE RESTROOMS WILL BE ABLE TO COME UP, HIT THE BUTTON AND BE ABLE TO CROSS.

GET TO THE MIDDLE, HIT ANOTHER BUTTON AND BE ABLE TO CROSS.

THAT WAS ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT THE COUNCIL BEFORE HAD ASKED.

WE WERE ABLE TO FIT THAT IN.

SO THIS PROJECT IS FUNDED WITH PORTIONS OF THE PROJECT ARE FUNDED HIGHWAY SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM GRANT THROUGH ADOT, WHICH IS WHY WE COORDINATE WITH ADOT ON THIS PROJECT.

THE REMAINING FUNDS ARE ALL CITY FUNDS.

WE DO HAVE THOSE CURRENTLY FUNDED FISCAL YEAR 24 AND 25.

ONE OF THE ITEMS? YES. PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS.

ARE THOSE THE TYPE OF CROSSING WHERE YOU PRESS THE BUTTON AND IMMEDIATELY YOU GET FLASHING LIGHTS TO CROSS? YES, MAYOR.

SO WHAT WE'LL DO IS IF A PEDESTRIAN IS COMING UP TO THE INTERSECTION, EITHER ONE, THEY'LL HIT THE BUTTON.

MOST LIKELY THEY'LL BE LOOKING, BUT IT'LL START FLASHING.

THEY HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME TO CROSS AND GET TO THE MIDDLE.

[02:30:01]

HIT THE BUTTON AGAIN.

KEEP GOING. I'M.

WITH THE DESIGN COMPLETE, UTILITY STATED.

WHY IS CONSTRUCTION NOT SCHEDULED TILL 25? I KNOW IT'S. THIS NEXT YEAR.

BUT THERE IS.

SO COUNCIL MEMBER MATTHEWS, THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION.

SO WHAT WE DID ON THIS PROJECT, AGAIN, WE COORDINATE WITH DOT AND WE WERE WORKING WITH THEM TO.

COME UP AND EXECUTE AMENDMENT NUMBER TWO.

IT WAS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED EARLIER THIS YEAR, BUT WE HAD SOME DELAYS, ISSUES RELATED TO THE DESIGN, RELATED TO WORKING ON HOW THE IGA WAS GOING TO BE FORMATTED AND HOW COSTS WERE GOING TO BE GENERATED, KIND OF WHAT OUR SHARE WAS, WHAT THE CITY SHARE WAS. SO THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF TIME THAT WE HAD TO WORK WITH ADOT AND THEN THEIR STAFF.

SO WE WERE WE KIND OF LOST THE WINDOW TO ADVERTISE THE PROJECT, WHICH THEN THERE'S A LONG PROCESS AND YOU GET A CONTRACTOR ON BOARD AND THEN YOU CAN START DOING SOME CONSTRUCTION THIS YEAR.

SO WE KIND OF LOST THAT WINDOW WITH SOME OF THOSE DELAYS UP FRONT, WHICH YOU KNOW, WE'RE SHARED BETWEEN AGENCIES.

SO WHAT WE DID NOW IS WE WILL BE BEFORE YOU APRIL 2ND, IGA AMENDMENT NUMBER TWO, THAT IS APPROVED, AUTHORIZED AND SIGNED.

THEN ADOT WILL SEND US THE INFORMATION THAT WE NEED TO ISSUE PAYMENT TO THEM.

THAT WILL START THEIR PROCESS TO ADVERTISE, ADVERTISE, GET A CONTRACTOR ON BOARD, WHICH WILL MOST LIKELY BE THE END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR.

AND SO WE CAN'T TECHNICALLY DO ANY SURFACE CONSTRUCTION BECAUSE OF.

WELL, THEN WE'LL JUST START AGAIN IN SPRING OF 2025.

WOULD THAT HELP? YES IT DID.

THANK YOU. AND WE WANT LINDA VISTA TO BE OPEN BEFORE THIS.

AT THAT DISCUSSION THIS MORNING.

RIGHT. YES.

SO. SO THE ORIGINAL PLAN FOR THIS PROJECT WAS TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION.

NOW, THEN, LINDA VISTA, PART OF THE SPRUCE WASH, WAS GOING TO BE DONE NEXT YEAR.

WE JUST SWAPPED THEM SO WE WERE ABLE TO DO THAT.

BUT DEFINITELY THAT PROJECT.

WE WILL NOT START THIS PROJECT.

CLOSE THE INTERSECTION UNTIL LINDA VISTA IS IN GOOD SHAPE TO BE OPEN.

LOOKING OVER SCOTT, NODDING HIS HEAD YES ON THAT.

HE'S INVOLVED IN THE SPRUCE WASH PROJECT.

YEAH, THE ONE I WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO ASK TREVOR TO COVER THAT.

AND I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY THE GOOD NEWS THAT THIS WAS DELAYED AND WE WERE ABLE TO KIND OF SQUASH PROJECTS AND CLOSE DOWN LINDA VISTA.

SO WITH ADOT'S PARTNERSHIP ON THIS PROJECT, WE'LL STILL BE AT THE TABLE.

INDICATION. I WANT.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S CLEAR THAT THIS IS NOT COMPLETELY IT'S NOT COMPLETELY A PROJECT THAT THE CITY HAS A ROLE AND WILL BE INDICATING WITH THE THE PUBLIC AND MAKING SURE THAT WE TIME THIS WITH, YOU KNOW, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, ALL OF THE UNIQUE SITUATION AND THIS.

YEAH, THAT IS CORRECT.

SO WE IT IS A DOT.

WHO IS. LET'S COORDINATE WITH THEM TO ENSURE THAT EVERYBODY IN THE AREA UNDERSTANDS WHAT'S GOING ON.

CONSTRUCTION INSPECTOR WORKING ON THIS PROJECT TYPICALLY WON'T ON AN A DOT PROJECT, BUT WE WERE ABLE TO WORK TO HAVE A CONSTRUCTION INSPECTOR THERE TO HELP TO WORK.

AND THEN OUR PROJECT MANAGER, OUR LIAISON ALSO WILL BE PART AT THE TABLE AND BE PART OF THE DISCUSSIONS AND ENSURE THAT THIS PROJECT IS DELIVERED.

AS A CITY PROJECT WOULD.

RIGHT. OH.

ALL RIGHT, SO HERE ONE OF OUR NEW STAFF MEMBERS ENGINEERING IS GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CONTINUE ON.

HE'LL DO TWO SLIDES.

OH, YES. COUNCILMEMBER. VICE MAYOR, ARE YOU NEW HERE? THAT'S THE NEW GUY.

NICE. THANK YOU. HE HAD ME WONDERING BECAUSE.

YEAH, YOU KNOW A LOT.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

DOES THIS CONCLUDE YOUR PRESENTATION OR ARE YOU BACK WITH.

I WILL BE BACK LATER THIS AFTERNOON.

OKAY. BUT BUT THE NEXT PRESENTATIONS WILL BE BY THREE PEOPLE.

I'LL LET THEM INTRODUCE THEMSELVES.

I DON'T WANT TO STEAL THEIR THUNDER, BUT THEY'LL FINISH TRANSPORTATION TAX, AND THEN I'LL BE BACK LATER.

WELL, I THINK WE OUGHT TO RECOGNIZE THE GREAT EFFORTS OF THE NEW GUY HERE.

[02:35:01]

THINK IT IS A FOUR YEAR VACATION IS IN LINE.

CAN I TELL A STORY? YES. OH, SO YESTERDAY I WAS WALKING OUT OF CITY HALL AND THERE WAS THIS YOUNG, EXCITED STAFF MEMBER SINGING AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS.

MR. LEMKE HERE.

SINGING, SINGING.

FREE FALLING BY TOM HANKS.

FALLING. YEAH.

I DIDN'T KNOW ANYONE WAS AROUND I THOUGHT I JUST.

HE SAID JOANNE WRIGHT.

YES. THAT IS A GOOD REFLECTION OF YOUR.

SECTION OF YOUR JOB HERE.

YOU HAVE A REPEAT. HERE IS HOW I FEEL ABOUT THAT.

I LOVE THE JOB.

JOB'S GREAT.

I GUESS WE'RE READY TO GO TO.

ALL RIGHT. GREAT. THANKS, JOANNE.

I HAVE TO TELL YOU, THOUGH, YOUR STORY LACKS NARRATIVE ARC.

NARRATIVE ARC. OH, BOY.

ALRIGHTY. WELL, THANK YOU FOR THAT.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

MY NAME'S DAVID LEMKE.

I'M A TRANSPORTATION ENGINEER ASSOCIATE HERE AT THE CITY.

AND TODAY I'LL BE PRESENTING ON TWO TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS.

THE FIRST ONE IS SMOKE RISE AND HIGHWAY 89 SIGNAL REBUILD.

AND SO THE REASON WHY WE WANT TO REBUILD THE SIGNAL IS WE INHERITED IT FROM A DOT.

IT DOES HAVE SOME DEFICIENCIES.

IT'S MISSING SIGNAL HEADS.

IT'S MISSING SOME PEDESTRIAN PUSH BUTTONS.

IT DOESN'T HAVE ALL THE ELEMENTS.

AND WE DO GET FREQUENT LIKE CALLS FROM CITIZENS WITH CONCERNS ON HOW IT'S OPERATING WITH THE LEFT TURNS SPECIFICALLY.

AND SO OUR SCOPE IS TO DO A COMPLETE SIGNAL REBUILD, BRING EVERYTHING UP TO STANDARD PCD WITH ADA REQUIREMENTS, AND ALSO TO REBUILD.

OUR BUDGET IS $800,000.

AND THE FIRST PART OF THAT IS 100,000 THIS FISCAL YEAR, 24 FOR DESIGN.

AND THE SECOND PART IS 700,000.

FISCAL YEAR 25 FOR CONSTRUCTION.

AND I'M PLEASED TO REPORT THAT WE DID GET FOUR QUOTES FOR DESIGN.

AND ALL OF THEM CAME IN UNDER 100,000.

SO WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF CHOOSING A DESIGNER RIGHT NOW.

AND SO THAT THAT'S GOOD.

WE'RE ON TRACK.

AND THEN FOR OUR SCHEDULE, WE WANT TO DESIGN IT THIS YEAR THIS SUMMER 2024 AND THEN CONSTRUCT NEXT YEAR IN THE SUMMER 2025.

AND I'M REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THIS PROJECT BECAUSE ALONG WITH JUST UPDATING IT UP TO STANDARDS, WE'RE ALSO GOING TO ADD SOME ADDITIONAL SAFETY FEATURES LIKE RETROREFLECTIVE BORDERS AROUND THE SIGNALS TO REALLY IMPROVE THE SAFETY OF THE INTERSECTION AS MUCH AS WE CAN.

COOL. YEAH. AND ANY QUESTIONS? ANYTHING TO SING.

MAYBE I'LL SING A LITTLE BIT.

DO IT AT THE END.

I'LL WAIT TILL THE END. YEAH.

AND I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THERE IS PRECEDENT FOR SINGING AT CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS.

TWO YEARS AGO, THE COUNCIL HAD A MEETING WITH THE HOPI TRIBE.

I, WE WERE JUST KIND OF TRYING TO GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER.

AND I MENTIONED THAT I, ONE OF THE ELDERS, THE HOPI, I HAD VISITED HIS HOME, TAUGHT ME A SONG.

AND THEN ONE OF THE.

I HOPE COUNCIL MEMBERS SAYS, WELL, MR. MCCARTHY, WE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR YOUR SONG.

NOW, SCOTT OVERTON WENT LIKE THIS.

OH, NO.

NO. REMEMBER THAT SCOTT.

AND I SAID, FORGET IT.

THAT SONG.

EVERYBODY LAUGHED AT ME.

SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE SET PRECEDENTS? YEAH. COUNCIL MEMBER SALAS USED TO BREAK OUT IN TUNE EVERY NOW AND THEN.

RIGHT. COUNCIL MEMBER.

REGINA. OH, REGINA SAW US.

YEAH, I REMEMBER THAT.

YEAH, I DO. OKAY.

I THINK WE TRIED TO FORGET IT.

COULD BE. ALL RIGHT.

GIVE ONE MORE. YES. ONE MORE, ONE MORE.

AND THEN IT'S LUNCH TIME.

YEAH. OH, WOW.

THIS IS THE BREAKING POINT.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

FOR OUR NEXT PROJECT, IT IS BOULDER POINT.

TRAFFIC CALMING.

AND THE REASON WHY WE'RE ADDRESSING TRAFFIC CALMING ISSUES IN BOULDER POINT NEIGHBORHOOD IS WE'VE HAD MANY CITIZENS COME TO US WITH CONCERNS IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD FOR SPEEDING, AND WE HAVE DONE STUDIES IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AND FOUND THAT IT DOES QUALIFY FOR TRAFFIC MITIGATION BASED ON THE SPEEDS.

AND SO OUR SCOPE INCLUDES, FOR MANY TRAFFIC CIRCLES CURB EXTENSIONS AND THREE RAISED CROSSWALKS.

AND I SHOULD ALSO MENTION WE HAD MANY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION MEETINGS TO GO OVER THIS PROJECT WITH THE PUBLIC.

WE'VE ALSO MET THEM IN THE FIELD TO DISCUSS IT.

[02:40:01]

AND WE'VE ALSO WRAPPED IN AN ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC CALMING PROJECT ON WOODLAND DRIVE, WHICH IS ANOTHER PART OF TOWN BUT SIMILAR ISSUES, AND WE ARE ALSO ADDRESSING THE TRAFFIC CALMING THERE WITH CIRCLES, THE MINI CIRCLES.

SO WE GROUPED THAT IN WITH THIS PROJECT TO SAVE TIME AND MONEY.

WE'RE EXCITED TO ALSO DELIVER THAT.

OUR BUDGET IS $475,000.

AND WE DID ADVERTISE THE PROJECT AND RECEIVE A BID AT 420,000.

SO WE'RE EXCITED. WE'RE ALREADY UNDER BUDGET NOW.

AND WE'RE EXCITED TO GET THAT TO CONSTRUCTION FOR OUR SCHEDULE.

WE ARE BRINGING THIS TO COUNCIL ON APRIL 16TH AS A CONSENT ITEM, AND WE'RE ANTICIPATING CONSTRUCTION MID-MAY WITH COMPLETION THIS YEAR IN THE FALL.

I CAN'T BELIEVE WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT CAME IN UNDER BUDGET.

WE'RE VERY HAPPY WITH THAT BECAUSE INITIALLY WE DID A JOB ORDER CONTRACT AND THAT CAME IN A LOT OVER BUDGET.

COUPLE I THINK LIKE TWICE AS MUCH.

SO WE'RE VERY HAPPY THAT IT CAME IN COMPETITIVELY AND WE'RE EXCITED TO DELIVER THIS.

HANSEN. THANK YOU.

YEAH. I SING JUST A LITTLE BIT.

I APOLOGIZE IF I DON'T GET THE VERSES RIGHT, BUT WE'LL TRY THE FIRST PART.

SHE'S A GOOD GIRL, LOVES HER.

MAMA LOVES HORSES.

AND AMERICA TOO.

I'M A BAD BOY CAUSE I DON'T EVEN MISS HER.

I'M A BAD BOY FOR BREAKING HER HEART.

AND I'M FREE.

OLIN.

GOOD. DAVID.

I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE YOU SING. NOT IN SYNC.

SPOT. YEAH.

SO? SO, DAVID, HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WITH THE CITY? 17 YEARS? NO.

THANK YOU. TWO AND A HALF OR ALMOST THREE IN NOVEMBER.

OKAY. AND WHAT WHAT EXAM DID YOU JUST PASS, DAVID? VERY, VERY, VERY HARD EXAM.

ONCE YOU GET WELL, LIKE ANOTHER YEAR OF EXPERIENCE, YOU'LL GET THE ACTUAL LICENSE.

VERY CLOSE. YEAH.

FOR TOTAL. SO I'M ALMOST A3A YEAR AFTER THAT.

YEAH. SO HE'S CLOSE TO GETTING HIS P.

SO. GOOD. NICE. THANK YOU.

I. THAT'S UP TO YOU.

YOU WANT TO FINISH THIS SECTION UP OR JUST WHY DON'T WE DO A.

AND. SURE.

NOW THAT'S ONLY 1206.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE US 1206.

THAT'S GOOD WITH THAT MAYOR. YEAH.

30 MINUTES. ALL RIGHT.

I'LL SIGN IT. ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. GOOD AFTERNOON, HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS ALEX LATINO.

REVEREND MENTIONED I'M NEW TO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS TEAM.

THIS I WAS WORKING FOR THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF DOING CONSTRUCTION INSPECTIONS, SO I'VE BEEN HERE AROUND THREE YEARS AND EXCITED TO BE PART OF THIS TEAM.

THE FIRST PROJECT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS A CANADIAN FOOT TRAIL.

THIS IS APPROXIMATELY A MILE LONG TRAIL WITH A MIX OF AGGREGATE AND CONCRETE TRAILS.

IT'S GOING TO BE CONNECTING EAST TERENCE AVENUE TO ABOUT THE SWEITZER CANYON ROUNDABOUT WITH STORM WATER IMPROVEMENTS GOING IN AS WELL.

SO THE STORM WATER IMPROVEMENTS ARE REALLY TO PROTECT BUSINESSES THAT THE TRAIL IS GOING TO BE ABOVE.

THE TOTAL BUDGET OF $3.3 MILLION.

WITH AN ESTIMATED CONSTRUCT VALUE OF 2.1.

AND SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY NEAT ABOUT THIS PROJECT IS IT REALLY PROVIDES CONNECTIVITY FROM THE DOWNTOWN AREA TO MCMILLAN MESA AND BUFFALO PARK.

BECAUSE WHEN I'M EXCITED ABOUT LIVING DOWNTOWN AND JUST BEING ABLE TO UTILIZE TRAILS LIKE THIS.

CAN YOU SAY THE ALIGNMENT WHERE IT'S GOING AGAIN? YEAH. SO.

IT'S GOING FROM EAST CANYON TERRACE OR PARIS SOUTH EASTERN AVE, WHICH IS RIGHT HERE, AND IT'S GOING TO BE HEADING EAST.

AND RIGHT ABOVE WHERE CHRIST IS.

RIGHT OVER THERE AND SWIPE THROUGH IT AND HEAD NORTH.

[02:45:02]

OKAY. YEAH, YEAH.

SO IT'S UP ABOVE THE BUSINESSES JUST NORTH OF ROUTE 66.

UNTIL WE PLAN ON AWARDING, OR WE PLAN ON GOING TO COUNCIL SPRING OF 2024 THIS YEAR AND STARTING CONSTRUCTION IN SUMMER.

THE PROJECT BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.

YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? AWESOME. THE NEXT ONE.

ANOTHER PEDESTRIAN RELATED PROJECT.

FIRST MILE. LAST MILE.

THIS ONE WITH YOUR PARTNER WITH MOUNTAIN LION ON.

AND THEY ACTUALLY SECURED A VERY NICE GRANT, THE FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION GRANT THAT'S GOING TO COVER ABOUT 80% OF THIS PROJECT COST.

SO THE TOTAL BUDGET 6.9 MILLION.

IT'S LOOKING LIKE A MILLION.

THE CITY SHARE.

SO THIS PROJECT IS PRETTY UNIQUE BECAUSE.

IT'S ALL OVER THE CITY.

HAVE ABOUT. IN CROSSINGS IDENTIFIED IN SIDEWALK AREAS AND OVER 40 BIKE LANE IMPROVEMENTS WE WANT TO COMPLETE. SO WE ARE AT THE DESIGN STAGE OF THIS PROJECT RIGHT NOW.

WE RECENTLY HIRED A KENLEIGH CONSTRUCTION SERVICES AS OUR CMR. SO THEY'RE GOING TO HELP US GET TO COMPLETE PLANT.

AND WE DO PLAN ON FINISHING DESIGN THIS YEAR.

SPENDING ABOUT TWO YEARS ON THIS PROJECT, SO STARTING CONSTRUCTION NEXT YEAR AND THEN COMPLETING CONSTRUCTION IN FY 27.

BEING QUESTIONED. SO YEAH, YOU SAY, NO, I WILL NOT BE SINGING FOR YOU GUYS TODAY ABOUT A STORY.

HAVE ANY GOOD STORIES? YOU.

SO IF THERE'S NO QUESTIONS.

WELCOME. YEAH.

YOUR NEXT. GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL MAYOR.

MARTIN WITH THE ENGINEERING DIVISION.

AND THE NEXT COUPLE OF SLIDES ARE THE PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE PORTION OF THE TRANSPORTATION SALES TAX.

IN THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM.

SO FIRST, ON SIDEWALKS YOU'VE HEARD BEFORE ABOUT INFILL SIDEWALKS.

I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT THAT BEFORE, AND YOU HEARD A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT FROM STAFF MEMBERS EARLIER THIS MORNING.

FOURTH STREET IS A PROJECT MISSING SIDEWALKS ALONG THE EAST SIDE OF THE STREET THROUGH SUNNYSIDE.

IT'S BEEN ON THE CAPITAL PLAN FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

IT'S IT'S KIND OF AN ONGOING DILEMMA BECAUSE IT'S CONSISTENTLY ONE OF OUR PRIORITY SIDEWALKS FELL IN.

WE'VE ALSO HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING THE NECESSARY RIGHT OF WAY ACTUALLY COMPLETED.

SO WE'LL LEAVE IT ON THE CAPITAL PLAN WITH THE HOPES THAT WE CAN RESOLVE THE RIGHT OF WAY AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE AND BE ABLE TO.

SIDEWALKS. ON.

THE LAST ONE IS LINDA VISTA SIDEWALK.

THIS IS A PROJECT OF OPPORTUNITY.

IT WOULD BE DONE IN CONJUNCTION WITH A COUPLE OF BIG DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE GOING ON IN THE AREA, AND IT SIMPLY ADDS A SIDEWALK AND A BIKE LANE TO THE SIDE OF THE LINDA VISTA SLIP RAMP FROM WEST STREET TO CEDAR STREET, WHERE IT KIND OF MAKES A CONNECTION.

IT ALSO GOES BACK INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD A LITTLE BIT AT THE NORTH END.

WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS CURRENTLY.

THERE'S A GAP BETWEEN THERE AND THE SLIP LANE THAT WERE COMPLETED PART OF THE PROJECT.

THIS IS THESE ARE GOOD OPPORTUNITIES FOR US BECAUSE WE PROVIDE MONEY FOR THESE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE, AND WE GET THE PROJECTS DELIVERED AS PART OF IT.

SO KIND OF SIMPLIFIES IT FOR US.

MUCH MORE EFFICIENT OVERALL IN DOING IT AS A STANDALONE PROJECT.

SO THIS ONE IS NEW TO THE CAPITAL PLAN BECAUSE THIS OPPORTUNITY CAME UP.

WE THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD PIECE OF INFRASTRUCTURE TO COMPLETE WHILE WE HAD THAT CHANCE.

ISN'T THERE ALSO MISSING PIECE OF THE SIDEWALK ON THE WEST SIDE OF LINDA VISTA? LIKE ABOVE GRANDVIEW.

YES, I FORGET THAT IT'S EITHER GRANDVIEW OR.

WHAT'S THE OTHER STREET THAT'S IN THAT AREA? PARADISE. PARADISE? YEAH. THE SIDEWALK ENDS THERE, SO WE'LL GO ALL THE WAY TO CONNECT THAT.

THAT SIDEWALK, WHATEVER.

WHATEVER STREET IT STOPS AT IS WHERE THIS PROJECT STARTS.

YEAH, IT'S A PRETTY IT'S A PRETTY BIG PROJECT FOR DRAINAGE.

AND SO THE STREET IS GETTING PRETTY TORN UP ANYWAY.

SO ADDING THE SIDEWALK IS RELATIVELY MINOR IN MY MIND.

AND. FOOT TRAILS.

[02:50:03]

THE FIRST ONE ON THE LIST IS ASPHALT REPAIR.

JUST REFERS TO THE 11 OR SO MILES OF ASPHALT FOOT TRAIL THAT THE CITY MANAGES.

MOST OF THEM ARE IN SOME NEED OF EITHER SIGNIFICANT REPAIR OR OUTRIGHT REPLACEMENT.

OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, WE'VE PUT A SMALL AMOUNT OR RELATIVELY SMALL AMOUNT IN THE IN THE CAPITAL BUDGET.

$250,000 WITH THE IDEA OF BUILDING UP A FUND TO DO SOME OF THESE TRIALS.

THIS YEAR, WE'RE ASKING FOR A BIGGER AMOUNT OF $1 MILLION TO ADD TO WHAT WE'VE ALREADY COLLECTED WITH THE HOPES THAT WE COULD DO.

WITH REPLACEMENT OR SIGNIFICANT REPAIR OF OF A WHOLE SEGMENT.

SOMETIME THIS YEAR. I THINK IT'S GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE YOU REALLY SHOULDN'T WAIT ANY LONGER.

SOME OF THESE TRAIL SEGMENTS NEED TO BE REPLACED.

THESE ASPHALT BRÜTZ TRAILS, LIKE DOWN LONE TREE OR LAKE MARY, WHERE THEY'RE BIG BUCKLES AND.

YES, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

YEAH. THANK YOU.

SO WE. YEAH.

YEAH. YOU CAN SOME OF THE CRACKS YOU CAN SEE ON GO.

EARTH. AND WHEN YOU CAN, WE CAN SEE THE CRACKS FROM SPACE, RIGHT? YEAH. SO WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH PROS TO BOTH IDENTIFY.

WHICH OF THE TRAILS ARE PRIORITIES BASED ON USE AND FUNCTION AND CONDITION, BUT ALSO FOR PROJECT DELIVERY.

SO IT'S LIKELY THAT THAT THEY WOULD GET THE MONEY AND AND DO THAT.

AND WE KIND OF WE THINK WE KNOW WHAT THE ANSWER IS.

BUT WE WANT TO DO A LITTLE BIT MORE INVESTIGATION.

AND DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO TRY TO REPAIR SOME OF THESE TRAILS TO GET AHEAD OF THE MAINTENANCE? WE KNOW SOME OF THEM REALLY JUST NEED TO BE REPLACED.

AND THE ASPHALT HAS NEVER REALLY HELD UP VERY WELL FOR FOOT'S TRAIL.

FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS THAT I DON'T COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND.

SO I THINK THE SOLUTION IS REALLY GOING TO CONCRETE, AND THAT'S AN INITIAL INVESTMENT.

BUT WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET IT 50 YEARS OUT OF A GOOD CONCRETE TRAIL IF IT'S BUILT CORRECTLY.

ASPHALT IS UNCERTAIN AND WOULD REQUIRE THE CITY TO DO KIND OF ANNUAL MAINTENANCE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THE FULL LIFE OUT OF IT, AND THAT EVEN THAT IN THAT CASE, IT WOULDN'T BE 50 YEARS. THESE ARE SOME KIND OF TOUGH DECISIONS FOR US, BUT WE REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE TAKING CARE OF THE KIND OF THE TRAILS THAT WE HAVE AND THAT THEY'RE COMPLETELY FUNCTIONAL. AND WE I BELIEVE THAT WE'VE GOT A SLIDE A LITTLE BIT LATER THAT DOES COVER THAT 1.2 MILLION THAT MARTIN WAS REFERENCING FOR REPLACEMENT, REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT ON THE ASPHALT TRAIL SECTION IN THAT AREA I JUST MENTIONED.

SO IF YOU COULD PUT THAT ON THE PRIORITY.

IS THIS YOUR TIME TO TELL THE STORY? RIDING DOWN THE TRAIL. I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE BUFFALO PARK RESURFACING.

HOW IS THAT LOOKING THE NEW SURFACE TO HOLD UP TO WEATHER COMPARED TO WHAT WE WERE USING PREVIOUSLY.

SO THAT NEW SURFACING IT IS IT'S DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE.

BUT WE HAVE BEEN USING IT FOR, I THINK, GREATER THAN SIX YEARS, MAYBE ON ANY NEW URBAN TRAILS THAT WE'VE BEEN DELIVERING REPAIRS TO ANY WASHOUT LOCATIONS.

IT'S HOLDING UP. WELL, WE RECEIVE SOME COMPLAINTS EVERY NOW AND THEN WHEN IT'S IMMEDIATELY SUPER DAMP, IT MAY STICK TO PEOPLE'S SHOES. BUT IT BOUNCES BACK REALLY FAST.

AND THAT'S WHAT'S AMAZING. SO EVEN IF A MOUNTAIN BIKE RIDES THROUGH AND CREATES THAT TIRE TRACK, IT'S GOING TO BOUNCE BACK AS IT CONTINUES TO, THE MOISTURE EVAPORATES. AND THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF THAT PRODUCT, IS THAT THEN PARK STAFF AREN'T GOING TO BE OUT THERE CONSISTENTLY KIND OF REGRADING THE TRAIL, IF YOU WILL, ESPECIALLY WITH THAT ACCESSIBILITY ACCESSIBILITY GRANT THAT WE UTILIZE THERE.

WE DO RECEIVE SOME COMPLAINTS EVERY NOW AND THEN.

AND MARTIN AND I CONSTANTLY FEEL THOSE COMPLAINTS AND ALSO CAN CONTINUE TO REVIEW WHAT OTHER PRODUCTS ARE OUT THERE.

BUT ON BALANCE, IT SEEMS THAT IT WILL TAKE LESS MAINTENANCE.

ABSOLUTELY. THERE'S THERE'S ALWAYS TRADE OFFS WITH THE KIND OF MATERIAL, YOU KNOW, IT PERFORMS WELL ALONG ONE MEASURE.

AND THIS THIS ONE DOES SEEM TO HOLD UP PRETTY WELL.

IT'S. WHAT IT WILL CREATE FOR YOUR SHOE.

BUT I MEAN. NO LOST NATION FROM ALL AGENCIES IS DON'T USE TRIALS, WHEN IN FACT AGGREGATE TRIALS ARE INTENDED FOR WINTER USE SO MUCH.

[02:55:02]

SOUTHEAST PART OF TOWN.

ANY YOU SOME EXISTING TRIALS AND THE SIGNIFICANT PART OF THAT.

THE MISSING PIECE IS ACROSS MIDDLE AMERICA.

NOW SOME OF THE PARCELS TO THE EAST.

ON THIS TRAIL WILL BECOME MORE IMPORTANT AND KIND OF MORE SIGNIFICANT AS THAT PART OF THE CITY DEVELOPS.

YOU CAN IMAGINE WHEN JUNIPER POINT AND CANYON DEL RIO AND THE JOHN WESLEY POWELL CORRIDOR GOING THROUGH THIS WILL BECOME A PRETTY IMPORTANT TRAIL AND CONNECTION. SO WE KEEP IT ON THE BUDGET.

I THINK IN THE CAPITAL PLAN, I THINK WE HAVE MONEY FOR DESIGN FOR NEXT YEAR AND THEN CONSTRUCTION AND YEARS AFTER THAT.

AND OF COURSE THOSE THINGS CAN ACCELERATE IF OTHER THINGS HAPPEN, LIKE DEVELOPMENT OCCURS, OTHER CITIES RESPONSIBLE FOR A PART OF IT.

BUT WE'RE RELYING ON CANYON DEL RIO TO FILL IN A PART OF IT.

SO THEIR THEIR CONSTRUCTION TIMING IS IMPORTANT AS WELL, AND WE REALLY HAVE NO CONTROL OVER HOW THAT HAPPENS.

A MOUNTAIN VIEW. HOSKINS ACCESS IS A CONNECTION BETWEEN LONE TREE ROAD IN THE VICINITY OF O'LEARY, OVER TO THE NIU CAMPUS, USING A CORNER OF THE CEMETERY TO KIND OF CUT ACROSS.

AND THIS IS THIS IS A TRAIL CONNECTION.

THAT IS REALLY AN OPPORTUNITY BROUGHT ABOUT BY THE LONE TREE OVERPASS AND THE LONE TREE WIDENING PROJECT.

AND IF YOU CAN IMAGINE THE TRAIL CONNECTION IF YOU'RE ON THE ROUTE 66.

LEFT TURN OR RIGHT TURN ONTO THE THE TRAIL THAT'S GOING TO BE ALONG THE LONE TREE OVERPASS THAT TAKES YOU ALL THE WAY DOWN TO SOMEWHERE BY O'LEARY, AND IT'S JUST A SHORT CONNECTION OVER TO GET TO CAMPUS.

SO IF YOU'RE A STUDENT OR FACULTY OR WORK AT NIU, YOU'RE ABLE TO MAKE THAT CONNECTION REALLY WITHOUT HAVING TO GO THROUGH DOWNTOWN.

WOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT ADVANTAGE AND REALLY PREPARED AND BIKE.

REALLY. EXCELLENT.

SO WE HAVE I THINK THERE'S SOME MONEY IN SOME OUT YEARS.

WE HAVE PLANS TO DO SOME PRE-DESIGN OR CONCEPTUAL WORK ON IT TO KIND OF GET AN IDEA OF, OF HOW IT WILL LAY OUT AND HOW MUCH IT WILL COST.

IT COULD BE A GRANT PROJECT, BUT WE KIND OF THINK IT IT MAY BE SOMETHING THAT ONCE THE LONE TREE PROJECT IS IN PLACE, IT WILL BECOME.

MORE IMPORTANT TO DO, LIKE IT'S PRIORITY WILL GO UP.

SO WE MAY NOT. GRANTS ALWAYS TAKE A FEW YEARS TO GOING.

WE MAY NOT WANT TO WAIT THAT LONG.

THE DESIGNER FOR THE LONE TREE PROJECT ON AT THAT END, I KNOW, HAS GIVEN A LOT OF THOUGHT ABOUT HOW THAT CONNECTION CAN BE MADE OVER FROM WHERE THE LONE TREE PROJECTS ENDS BY SAWMILL AND O'LEARY.

AND THEN THE LAST ONE I'LL TALK ABOUT IS SINGLE TRACK.

AND I THINK WE MIGHT HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, BUT IT'S JUST A SERIES OF SHORT TRIALS BUILT TO A STANDARD BELOW A FOOT.

BUT THEY'RE INTENDED TO CONNECT OUR FOOT SYSTEM TO THE KIND OF THE SURROUNDING RECREATION TRAILS OF THE FOREST SERVICE.

SO WE HAVE A HANDFUL OF THEM IDENTIFIED THAT MAKE GOOD CONNECTIONS.

GENERALLY THEY'RE WHERE TRAILS WOULD HAVE BEEN.

FOOT TRAILS WOULD HAVE BEEN PLANNED.

BUT I THINK IT WILL BE MUCH EASIER FOR US TO DELIVER SINGLE TRACK TRAILS IN TERMS OF COST AND COMPLEXITY THAN A FULL BLOWN FLUTES.

SO WE COULD WHERE IT WOULD TAKE US A NUMBER OF YEARS TEN, FIVE, TEN, 20 YEARS TO GET TO BUILD A FOOT TRAIL.

A SINGLE TRACK CAN HAPPEN MUCH MORE QUICKLY THAN THAT.

AND AGAIN, WE'RE WORKING WITH PROS BECAUSE THEY'RE.

WE'LL MANAGE THAT SYSTEM.

AND YOU KNOW YOU'RE LOST.

OKAY. LET'S SEE.

ARE. A LOT OF NEW EMPLOYERS.

THAT'S ONE. OH, IS IT NOT? IT'S NOT ADVANCING YOU.

IT'S A COOL.

SOMETHING HAPPENED WITH TEAMS ON.

GOOD. IS IT GOING NOW? THERE WE GO. SO A BIT ABOUT BIKEWAYS.

OF COURSE. A BIG PROJECT FOR US ON BIKEWAYS IS THE BUTLER AVENUE.

COMPLETE STREETS, WHICH YOU HEARD ABOUT EARLIER.

THE OTHER THREE COMPONENTS IN THE CAPITAL PLAN STRIPING, SIGNING AND BIKE PARKING ARE REALLY INTENDED TO COMPLETE AND ENHANCE THE BIKEWAYS. THAT WORK.

WE HAVEN'T DONE A WHOLE LOT OF PRELIMINARY WORK ON EITHER THE SIGNING AND PARKING.

WE HAVE A LOT OF IDEAS, BUT REALLY NOTHING HAS COME TO FRUITION YET.

BUT WE HAVE THE MONEY IN THE BUDGET.

HOPEFULLY AT SOME POINT WE CAN MAKE A PROJECT OUT OF.

OF THOSE. AND THEN THE LAST ONE, WE HAVE A COUPLE OF OF ENHANCED CROSSINGS IN THE OUT YEARS OF THE CAPITAL PLAN.

AND ENHANCED TYPICALLY MEANS GENERALLY WE'RE LOOKING AT EITHER A PEDESTRIAN HYBRID BEACON OR A RAPID FLASHING BEACON AS, AS THE ENHANCEMENT, ALONG WITH EVERYTHING ELSE THAT GOES

[03:00:02]

SO OUR THOUGHT IN THE SHORT TERM IS WE'LL DO SOME PRELIMINARY CONCEPT PLANNING FOR THESE AND COLLECT THE INFORMATION THAT WE NEED TO MOVE THEM FORWARD.

FOR EXAMPLE, THE ONE THAT YOU SEE AT HUMPHREY STREET IN FINE.

BUT ON AN UNMANAGED ROAD, SO THAT THE PROCESS TO GET THAT GOING IS IS DOABLE BUT MORE COMPLICATED.

AND THE FIRST STEP IS WE HAVE TO COLLECT INFORMATION ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE CROSSING THERE NOW.

AND OTHER THINGS LIKE CRASH RATES AND THINGS LIKE THAT TO, TO MEET ADOPTS WARRANTS BEFORE IT CAN EVEN.

WE THINK IT WILL BUT IT WILL TAKE US A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO TO COLLECT THAT INFORMATION AND WORK WITH ADA TO HAVE IT HAPPEN.

THERE'S ALSO ON EITHER SIDE OF THAT CROSSING ON ALONG FINE ON HUMPHREYS.

THE SIDEWALKS ARE NOT IN GREAT SHAPE AND IN A LOT OF CASES ARE MISSING.

SO THAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE PART OF THE PROJECT AS WELL.

PROBABLY WORTH WORTH BACKING UP FOR A MOMENT JUST TALKING ABOUT THAT PROJECT, BECAUSE I THINK A LOT OF YOU ARE AWARE OF THAT.

FUSD CHANGED HOW THEY DO TRANSPORTATION FOR STUDENTS, AND THEY'RE RELYING ON MOUNTAIN LINE AS A SIGNIFICANT COMPONENT OF HOW STUDENTS GET TO TO SCHOOL NOW.

SO ONE OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF THAT IS STUDENTS ARE USING THE BUSSES ALONG BEAVER AND SAN FRANCISCO.

NUMBER TWO. NUMBER FIVE.

AND HAVING TO WALK THAT LAST LITTLE BIT TO FLAG HIGH.

AND OF COURSE, THAT INVOLVES CROSSING HUMPHREYS, AND THERE'S NOT REALLY A GREAT PLACE TO CROSS HUMPHREYS NOW BETWEEN BIRCH SAFELY TO FORT.

YEAH. SO THIS THIS ONE'S GOTTEN A LOT OF ATTENTION.

REALLY, LIKE, JUST IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS FROM ETH, USD PARENTS AND FROM ADOT AS WELL.

SO IT'S KIND OF, IT'S KIND OF GETTING ON THE RADAR.

SO AGAIN, WE'LL DO SOME OF THE PRELIMINARY WORK THE MONEY FOR THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION, IF IT ALL WORKS OUT, WOULD BE ONE OF THE OUT YEARS.

BUT AGAIN, THAT COULD BE ACCELERATED.

A SUBSEQUENT CAPITAL, PLANNING BECOMES IMPORTANT.

AND THEN LASTLY JUST KIND OF UNDER THE UNDER THE GENERAL CATEGORY, I TALKED ABOUT A COUPLE OF PROJECTS THAT WE, WE WANT TO DO PRE-DESIGN OR SOME INITIAL WORK ON BEFORE TO KIND OF GET THEM GOING. WE USE THE MONEY THAT'S IN PROJECT PRE-DESIGN TO DO THAT.

WE'VE IDENTIFIED A HANDFUL OF PROJECTS BOTH IN THE CAPITAL PROJECT AND NOT NECESSARILY IN THE CAPITAL PROJECTS, TO USE THAT MONEY TOWARD TO GET A.

WHAT THE PROJECT LOOKS LIKE, HOW MUCH IT COSTS IF WE NEED ACQUISITION.

WHAT'S A GOOD GRANT PROJECT? THAT SORT OF THING. TO HELP.

AND THE LAST ON OUR LIST IS WE'VE HAD MONEY, I THINK, LAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR IN THE BUDGET FOR A VISION ZERO PLAN.

OUR INTENT IS TO USE THAT.

TO LEVERAGE A FEDERAL GRANT THROUGH SAFE STREETS FOR ALL.

IT'S A FEDERAL PLANNING GRANT.

METROPLAN IS KIND OF LEADING THAT EFFORT, AND WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM TO KIND OF WORK OUT THE DETAILS OF INCLUDED WHAT THE STUDY WOULD LOOK AT.

IN MY MIND, I THINK IF IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE PLANNING PYRAMID I DON'T WANT TO GO DOWN TOO MUCH OF A RABBIT HOLE.

BUT AT THE TOP OF THE PLANNING PYRAMID, WE HAVE THINGS LIKE THE REGIONAL PLAN, WHICH ARE VERY GENERAL AND ASPIRATIONAL AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PYRAMID, THINGS THAT IMPLEMENT THE CAPITAL PLAN, THE ZONING CODE, THE ENGINEERING STANDARDS IN THE MIDDLE IS ALL THE INFORMATION WE NEED ABOUT HOW TO GET FROM THOSE TOP LEVEL THINGS WHICH GIVE US LIKE REALLY GOOD IDEAS, BUT NOT A WHOLE LOT OF GUIDANCE TO THAT BOTTOM PART.

WE HAVE A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT WE NEED TO FILL IN RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION IN THAT MIDDLE.

AND I THINK THIS VISION ZERO PLAN IS, IS A GOOD CHANCE TO TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THOSE THINGS, AS WELL AS FILLING IN SOME OF THE PLACES AT THE TOP OF THAT PYRAMID WHERE WE NEED MORE POLICY GUIDANCE ON THINGS LIKE COMPLETE STREETS OR SAFE SYSTEMS OR THAT SORT OF THING.

SO THAT'S THE RABBIT HOLE.

WHAT SECTION OF IS THAT? SAN FRANCISCO.

OH, YES.

YEAH. THAT WAS THAT WAS KIND OF A TEASER.

THIS WAS ACTUALLY WE USED OUR PROJECT PREDESIGNED MONEY LAST YEAR TO DO 15% CONCEPT PLANS FOR THE FOR THE BIKE LANES, THE COMPLETE STREETS.

AND THIS IS JUST A CONCEPT ON HOW THE BIKE LANES WOULD LOOK.

NOT NECESSARILY A SECTION THREE.

NO, IT IS, IT IS ACTUALLY, THIS IS A PART OF SAN FRANCISCO.

SEE IF WE CAN. PLUS FROM.

TO SAN FRANCISCO. SO THAT SECTION IN BETWEEN.

YOU CAN SEE THIS IS THE PROTECTED INTERSECTION CONCEPT.

AND THEN IF I DON'T KNOW HOW WELL YOU CAN SEE THIS, BUT THERE'S A SIDEWALK IS IN GRAY AND THE BIKE LANE SEPARATED FROM THE STREET IS IS KIND OF IN A LIGHT RED.

THAT'S BUTLER. THAT'S BUTLER.

YEAH. YEAH THAT'S IS THAT SEPARATE GRANT MONEY.

FROM THE GRANT THAT WE JUST GOT FOR.

OLIVE BUTLER, OR THE PORTION OF BUTLER FOR THE ELEVATED BIKE LANES AND.

[03:05:05]

THIS IS THE PROJECT WE DID.

WE DID 15% CONCEPT PLANS ON OUR OWN ON THE CITY'S MONEY.

I WILL USE THAT. OUR NEXT, NEXT PART OF THE PROJECT WILL USE GRANT MONEY TO HIRE A DESIGNER TO TAKE 100%.

AND SO THIS WAS FOR THE DESIGN WORK? YES. RIGHT. THE PIZZA MADE ME ZONING.

BUT THERE IS THERE'S A SEPARATE APPLICATION THAT METRO PLAN IS WORKING FOR VISION ZERO.

YES. DESIGN.

YEAH. SAFE STREETS FOR ALL REALLY HAS HAS TWO COMPONENTS.

ONE IS IS IMPLEMENTATION WHICH IS CONSTRUCTING THINGS AND THE OTHER IS PLANNING.

THE WORD THAT WE GET IS THE THE PLANNING MONEY IS MORE AVAILABLE THAT THE CONSTRUCTION DOLLARS ARE VERY COMPETITIVE, BUT PLANNING MONEY MORE AVAILABLE.

SO WE FEEL PRETTY GOOD ABOUT OUR IF WE APPLY ABOUT OUR CHANCES OF GETTING A GRANT.

THANK YOU. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

BUT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

GO, MARK. PETER.

AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE INTO BEAUTIFICATION.

ARTS AND SCIENCE AND PRO INDIANA'S FIRST.

YES. I THINK THERE'S SOME COOKIES AT THE BACK IF PEOPLE NEED SUGAR.

THERE MIGHT STILL BE SOME COPY AVAILABLE TOO.

NOT BECAUSE OF YOUR PRESENTATION, BUT I GOT IT, I GOT IT.

ANYWAY I'M JANNA WELDON.

I'M THE PROGRAM MANAGER FOR BEAUTIFICATION, ARTS AND SCIENCES, AND SO THANK YOU, MAYOR, VICE MAYOR, AND COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR YOUR KIND ATTENTION TODAY.

IT JUST KIND OF FIRST OF ALL, WANT TO, YOU KNOW, SHOW OFF A LITTLE BIT.

IT'S A COUPLE PROJECTS WE JUST COMPLETED AND LET YOU KNOW HOW WE, YOU KNOW, COME TO PICK SOME OF THE CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT WE'RE DOING.

WE HAVE A VERY ACTIVE PERSON WITH THE BEAUTIFICATION AND PUBLIC ART COMMISSION.

COUNCIL MEMBER SWEET IS OUR LIAISON, AND I THINK SHE CAN ATTEST TO HOW MANY PROJECTS THAT THEY COME UP WITH.

YOU KNOW, FOR US TO CONSIDER BUT ALSO WE DO DO PUBLIC INPUT, FOR INSTANCE, OUR TRAFFIC SIGNAL CABINETS THAT CAME FROM A CITIZENS IDEA THAT THEY BROUGHT TO THE COMMISSION OUTSIDE OF OUR CITIZEN COMMISSIONERS.

BUT THEN THERE'S JUST CITY PROJECTS THEMSELVES, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A BIG CAPITAL PROJECT GOING ON, AND HE CAN BUY IT.

AND THAT KIND OF LEADS US TO ONE OF OUR VERY FIRST CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT WE WILL BE INVOLVED WITH FY 25, WHICH IS THE SPRUCE WASH WEDGE.

SO THANK YOU TO THE CITY ENGINEERING FOR REACHING OUT TO US.

SO THAT LITTLE TRIANGLE IN THE CENTER IS GOING TO BE A GIANT RETENTION BASIN, AND YOU KNOW THAT THERE'S CLEARED OUT SOME TREES AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE PUTTING A 280 FOOT FENCE ALONG THAT RETENTION BASIN.

AND ON THE LITTLE TRIANGLE, THERE'S A LITTLE BLUE LINE ON THE SIDE THAT'S GOING TO HAVE THE FUNDS.

AND SO THEY REACHED OUT TO US AND WE SAID, SURE, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE NOT A DECORATIVE FENCE WITH INPUT OF THE DESIGN FROM THE COMMUNITY. WE ALSO HAVE BUDGETED ENOUGH MONEY TO DO MAYBE SOME STEP LANDSCAPING UP TO THE FENCE.

SO JUST TO SOFTEN, WE KNOW THIS INFRASTRUCTURE IS IMPORTANT.

WE KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR THE FLOODING, BUT WE ALSO KNOW THAT IT'S GOING TO HAVE A KIND OF A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY IMMEDIATELY.

BUT WE CAN I THINK WE CAN DO QUITE A BIT, MAKE IT EXCITING FOR THE COMMUNITY IN THE END.

AND IF WE HAVE ENOUGH MONEY WE MIGHT AT THE VERY POINT WHERE IT GOES DOWN TO WEST, WE MIGHT PUT A FREESTANDING.

AT THAT POINT.

SO THAT'S OUR GOAL.

WE WILL BE DOING THE DESIGN IN THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR, AND THEN WE'LL BE DOING FABRICATION.

AND INSTALLATION IN FY 26, SO IT'LL KIND OF HAVE TWO PARTS.

WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE OUR ROUTE 66 LANDSCAPING.

WE JUST COMPLETED A HUGE SECTION AT FANNING.

WE ARE LOOKING TO DO PONDEROSA AND VERDE.

WE WILL GET STARTED ON THAT AS SOON AS CAPITAL PROJECTS CAN HAVE.

LEND US A PROJECT MANAGER TO ASSIST.

BUT KNOW THAT THE CENTENNIAL IS COMING UP IN 2026, SO WE WANT TO COMPLETE AS MANY OF THE LANDSCAPING PROJECTS ALONG 66 AS POSSIBLE. FOR THAT YEAR.

SO WE'RE PRIORITIZING IT IN FY 25.

AND YOU'VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT SWITZER CANYON WITH THE TRAILS.

[03:10:03]

IT WILL TAKE ABOUT A YEAR IN DESIGN.

WE'VE ACTUALLY DONE SOME WORK ON THIS ALREADY.

WE HAVE ALREADY PUT TOGETHER A FOCUS GROUP AND A NEIGHBORHOOD COALITION.

WE HAVE GOTTEN SURVEYS ABOUT THE KIND OF THINGS THAT THEY WANT TO SEE.

AND WE'VE HAD LIKE FOCUS GROUPS, CREATIVE EXERCISES.

SO WITH PROCUREMENT, WE WILL BE PUTTING A CALL OUT AGAIN.

DESIGN WILL TAKE ABOUT A YEAR.

SO THAT WILL BE FY 25.

IT'LL BE A DESIGN CONTRACT THAT WILL BE BRINGING TO COUNCIL.

AND THEN AFTER THAT WILL BE A FABRICATION INSTALLATION CONTRACT ONCE WE KNOW WHAT THE DESIGN IS.

AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE PROJECTS IN PROGRESS.

THE LEAD OF THOSE THAT WILL FINISH FIRST WILL BE THE DOWNTOWN CONNECTION CENTER.

THE ART GLASS AND THE SOUTH SIDE GROVE.

SHOULD BE INSTALLED BEFORE NEXT APRIL.

BUT SO THEY WILL FINISH UP IN FY 25.

WE ARE ALSO, AS YOU KNOW, DOING ALL THE BEAUTIFICATION OF TREE OVERPASS.

AND OF COURSE, THAT'S SUBJECT TO ALL THE PROPERTY PROCUREMENT AND THAT PROJECT THAT'S GOING TO BE A MULTI YEAR PROJECT.

BUT I THINK WE'RE BUYING THE FORM LINERS IN THE UPCOMING YEAR.

AND THAT IS A MAJOR COST OF THE PROJECT.

SO FOR AT LEAST THE BEAUTIFICATION PART, OBVIOUSLY THINGS LIKE THE PAINT WILL BE AT THE VERY END PROJECT.

THE OTHER ROUNDABOUT THAT WE'RE GOING TO START DESIGN ON IS THE FOURTH STREET AND LOCKETT ROUNDABOUT.

IT WAS DELAYED A YEAR, SO WE HAD TO DELAY A YEAR TILL THEY THEY GET FINISHED.

BUT IT'LL BE VERY SIMILAR TO SWEITZER CANYON.

SO AGAIN WE'LL BE DOING DESIGN IN THIS FISCAL YEAR.

AND THEN WE WILL BE DOING FABRICATION INSTALLATION IN THE FOLLOWING FISCAL YEAR.

THEN KIND OF IN THE OUT YEARS.

WE HAVE MANY PROJECTS, BUT THE ONES THAT WE'RE KIND OF FOCUSED ON MOVING ON FIRST IS THE FOURTH STREET BRIDGE.

AS YOU KNOW, WE ALREADY DID A DOT KIND OF DID THERE, THE PINE CONE AND YOU KNOW, DESIGN IN THE BRIDGE ITSELF AND THE PAINT COLORS.

BUT WE ALSO HAD THAT CAGE REINFORCED SO THAT IT COULD SUPPORT ARTWORK.

AND WE WILL WE ARE LOOKING TO NOW DO THAT.

PHASE TWO IN FY 25, FY 26 THAT BUFFALO PARK WATER TANK WE ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH WATER SERVICES AND THEY WE'RE GOING TO, I THINK HELP THEM WITH THEIR PROJECT MANAGEMENT, YOU KNOW.

THE BASIC PAINT.

AND THEN THEY SAID, GAVE US A GO AHEAD TO GO AHEAD AND COMMISSION A MURAL THAT LARGE WATER TANK.

SO THAT SHOULD BE LOOKING PRETTY SPIFFY IN A COUPLE OF YEARS.

AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER ROUNDABOUT WHERE THEY FINISH BUTLER AVENUE AND FOURTH STREET ROUNDABOUT, YOU KNOW, NEAR THE FOX GLEN NEIGHBORHOOD, THE THIRD ROUNDABOUT, THE PUDDING 3D SCULPTURE IN AND THEN THE DOWNTOWN MILE.

THAT'S WHAT I CALL THE NORTH EDGE MILTON AND TRAIN PLATFORM, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE CALLED IN OUR CIP FIVE YEAR PLAN.

WE ARE WORKING WITH THE DESIGNERS ALREADY HIRED ON THAT PROJECT, AND WE'RE JUST HAVING THEM MAKE SOME SPACE FOR SOME ART AFTER IT'S FINISHED.

BUT THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN REACHING OUT TO US.

SO THAT KIND OF LEFT THAT WE ALL MAKE INTO CITY HALL OFF OF MILTON, THAT IS ALL GOING TO BE REDESIGNED AND IT'S GOING TO BE A BIGGER LANDSCAPED AREA, AND THEY'RE GOING TO PROBABLY MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT OF A PLAZA WITH THE SEATING AND ASK THEM TO PUT THREE PLINTHS IN THERE FOR US TO PUT SCULPTURE ON.

SO AND THEY'RE GOING TO EVENTUALLY AS PART OF THE DOWNTOWN MILE, REDO THE TRAIN PLATFORM.

AND AGAIN, WE HAVE JUST MONEY TO HELP, WHATEVER THE DESIGN IS TO ENHANCE IT.

AND THEN WE HAVE A SCHOOL WALKWAY PROJECT THAT AGAIN, IS AT FOURTH STREET AND CEDAR ROCKET ROUNDABOUT.

ADOT IS REDOING THE RETAINING WALL RIGHT BY THE SCHOOL.

SO WE WOULD LIKE TO DO A COMMUNITY MOSAIC ON THAT WALL.

SO AS SOON AS THEY'RE DONE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AN ARTIST KIND OF OVERSEE THAT WHOLE COMMUNITY PROCESS AND CREATE A COMMUNITY MOSAIC ON THAT WALL.

AND IT'S A WALKWAY FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

WE ARE CONSTANTLY LOOKING FOR WAYS TO ADD TO THE EAST SIDE BEAUTIFICATION.

ORIGINALLY, THIS MONEY WAS PUT ASIDE FOR AN ENTIRE STREETSCAPE FOR FOURTH STREET.

[03:15:05]

WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT MAYBE REPLACING SOME OF THE LIGHT POLES SO THAT WE CAN EXPAND THE FLOWER PROGRAM TO FOURTH STREET IN THE EAST AND THE EAST SIDE.

SO THOSE ARE THE TYPES OF EAST SIDE BEAUTIFICATION PROJECTS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

SO ARTS AND SCIENCES ARE SMALLER FUND.

AND THE MAIN PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE GOING FOR FY 25 ARE PROJECTS THAT ARE KIND OF ACTUALLY ALREADY UNDERWAY.

WE ARE DOING AN ANNUAL MULTICULTURAL COUNTY PARK SCULPTURE EXHIBITION.

AND YOU I BELIEVE YOU HAVE JUST RECEIVED A HOLD THE DATE FOR THAT OPENING THIS MAY, BUT WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY TO USE THOSE FIVE PLINTH PADS FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS.

SO THERE'LL BE AN EXHIBITION THIS YEAR.

THERE'LL BE AN EXHIBITION THAT IN FY 25 AND ONE IN FY 26 FOR CERTAIN.

AND IF ALL GOES WELL, WE WILL RENEW THAT.

WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE FIVE ARTISTS WHO ARE PARTICIPATING THIS YEAR.

AND IT'S GOING TO BE PART OF ART X, AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL AT THE OPENING.

THE OTHER PROJECT THAT WE HAVE GOING, ACTUALLY, I HAD THE ARTIST FINALISTS OUT AT THE MURDOCH CENTERS AND THE SITE TODAY.

I KNOW THIS IS NOW BEEN OFFICIALLY NAMED THE CLIO MURDOCH PARK.

BUT IT DIDN'T HAVE THAT OFFICIAL NAME WHEN WE STARTED THE PROJECT.

SO BUT IT IS THAT KIND OF POCKET PARK AREA RIGHT NEXT TO THE MURDOCH, AND WE HAD FIVE FINALISTS MAKING PROPOSALS FOR SOME KIND OF 3D SCULPTURAL ART THAT.

SO IT WAS VERY EXCITING MORNING WITH THEM.

AND THEN IN THE ARTS AND SCIENCES.

FUN KIND OF LONG TERM.

WE HAVE A FEW THINGS, BUT I THINK THE ALLEY ACTIVATION, THERE'S BEEN A REALLY STRONG IDEA THAT MAYBE HAVE A.

CUT METAL TRELLIS, CANOPY METAL AND OPEN SO THAT YOU KNOW, THE SNOW CAN FALL THROUGH.

YOU WON'T PILE UP AND BE BE WEIGHTED.

BUT TO THAT CONNECTION BETWEEN ASPEN AND COUNCIL MEMBER SWEETSHOP.

THAT MAYBE WE DO A FANCY COVER OVER THAT WE WILL NEED TO GET BUY IN FROM OTHER DEPARTMENTS, BECAUSE I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO UNDERGROUND OR SOMEHOW DEAL WITH SOME OF THE ELECTRICAL WIRES THAT ARE OVERHEAD.

IN ORDER TO DO THIS.

BUT IT HAS BEEN A PRIORITY OF BHP.AX, AND IT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE PUSHING FOR.

OBVIOUSLY WE ARE WORKING HAND IN HAND WITH THE RIO DE FLAG DESIGN AS WELL.

THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME NODES ALONG THE FOOT'S TRAILS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO GO INTO AT SOME POINT.

AND THEN THERE'S SOME MISCELLANEOUS LITTLE PROJECTS.

AGAIN, THE MULTICULTURAL PARK WILL KEEP CONTINUING.

AND THEN THERE'S SOME IDEAS FOR THE PLUTO AND LUNAR LEGACY AND SOME OTHER ASTRONOMY RELATED PROJECTS, KIND OF IN THE OUT YEARS, KIND OF IN THE FIFTH YEAR OF OUR OF OUR FIVE YEAR PLAN.

SO THAT'S WHAT I HAVE FOR YOU TODAY.

YES, SIR. ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH. I DIDN'T SEE ANY MENTION OF BEAUTIFICATION ART PROJECT FOR THE UNDERPASS GOING.

HE INSERTED THE SHORTCUT TO BURGER KING FOR THE STUDENT UNDERPASS.

WHERE? ON MILTON.

OH, SO THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT KIND OF IN THE NORTH MILTON AND TRAIN PLATFORM.

AND AGAIN WORKING WITH THE I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HE'S TALKING ABOUT IT.

YOU MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH THIS ONE.

YOU MIGHT NOT BE. YEAH.

AND WE WOULDN'T EXPECT YOU TO BE FAMILIAR WITH IT HASN'T BEEN CONSTRUCTED YET.

AND THEY'RE JUST NOW BEGINNING TO DIG.

THERE'S AN UNDERPASS AT THAT INTERSECTION.

OUR UNIVERSITY, TARGET AND BURGER KING.

YES, WE TARGET I.

I REMEMBER WHEN THERE WAS FIRST IDEAS, AND I THINK WE TRIED TO GET AN ARTIST IN ON THE DESIGN TEAM, AND IT WAS JUST KIND OF A NO GO.

YEAH. AND I THINK THERE'S PLENTY OF TIME TO.

GREAT QUESTION TO HAVE CONSIDERATION OF THAT.

WE'RE A WAYS AWAY, BUT.

I THINK WE DISCUSS ABOUT ALL THE UNDERPASSES IS THAT THERE MIGHT BE ROOM AT THE ENTRANCES FOR US TO AFFECT KIND OF THE EDGES GOING IN.

[03:20:05]

ON, ON ON ADDING AN ARTIST TO THAT PROJECT.

WHAT ABOUT, LIKE, A MURAL ON THE INSIDE? WE CAN DO MURALS.

OKAY. ALWAYS CAN DO MURALS.

BUT WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT ENTRANCES OF THE OTHER UNDERPASSES THAT ARE GOING IN AS PART OF THE DOWNTOWN MILE TO DO.

GUY MIGHT HAVE A COMMENT.

YES. MISSION IS TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THAT.

SO THIS IS THE BIOLA UNIVERSITY EXTENSION.

SO IT IS THE UNDERGROUND, THE UNDERPASS THAT'S UNDERGROUND.

WE HAD TALKED ABOUT TRYING TO GET AN ARTIST ON BOARD TO DO SOMETHING WITH THE UNDERPASS, BUT JUST DIDN'T WORK OUT.

BUT WE ARE GOING TO LEAVE IT FLAT SURFACE SO THAT AFTER THE PROJECT IS DONE, THEN WE CAN EXPLORE THE MURAL, MURAL OR DOING SOMETHING OR IN SOME WITH LIGHTS. SHE THOUGHT I'D BE AMBITIOUS, BUT THINKING ON IT.

SO THERE WILL BE LIGHTS WITH THE UNDERPASS WHEN IT'S INSTALLED, BUT IT'S JUST GOING TO BE A FLAT SURFACE ON THE OUTSIDE, ON THE INSIDE, SO THAT WE CAN DO SOMETHING.

YEAH, WE CAN, WE CAN HAVE LATER.

BUT WE DIDN'T.

WE? I THINK WE MISSED THE WINDOW TO ADD AN ARTIST ONTO THE DESIGN TEAM SO THAT THEY COULD COME TO HELP DESIGN FINKLEA.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS DONE AT 24TH STREET AND CAMELBACK.

I WAS PART OF THAT PROJECT IN PHOENIX, BUT IT DOES, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE ARTISTS ON EARLY AND IT JUST IT JUST WASN'T FEASIBLE WHEN IT CAME TO MY PREDECESSOR, ELIZA.

AGAIN, A MURAL MAY BE AN OPTION.

A MURAL WILL HAPPY TO DO A MURAL.

BUT IT'S NOT YET IN OUR FIVE YEAR PLAN.

SO. BUT SURE, IT'S ADDED NEXT YEAR.

ONE QUESTION ABOUT THE FLOWERS, AND THEY REALLY ARE A NICE ADDITION TO THE LAMP POST AND STUFF.

ARE WE THINKING? SO? SO WE ONLY REALLY DO THE MAIN STREETS, RIGHT? SAN FRANCISCO BEAVER.

AND THEN WE'LL DO FOURTH STREET.

SO WE WON'T GO OFF TO THE SIDE STREETS A LITTLE BIT.

YEAH. WE HAVEN'T. YOU HAVE TO HAVE LIGHT POLES THAT WILL SUPPORT THEM THAT THAT WAS PART OF IT.

AND THEN NOT ALL MADE THE SAME.

AND THAT'S RIGHT. NOW THAT'S A PROBLEM ON FOURTH STREET.

SO IN ORDER FOR US TO LIKE EXPAND THERE, WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY HAVE TO WORK WITH STREETS TO ACTUALLY REPLACE ALL THOSE LIGHT POLES AND PROBABLY PAY FOR THAT AS PART OF IT.

SO SOME OF THE, YOU KNOW, RESTRICTIONS, YOU KNOW, THOSE LIGHT POLES ON THE MAIN STREET ARE, ARE GENERALLY BIGGER AND STRONGER THAN SOME OF THE OTHER ONES.

AND THEY CAN SUPPORT THOSE FLOWERS.

BUT IF YOU HAVE IDEAS AND I CAN FIND MORE EXPANSION, WE ARE DEFINITELY WILLING TO EXPAND THE FLOWER.

IT'S BEEN VERY POPULAR.

WE KNOW THAT WITH THE DOWNTOWN CONNECTION CENTER, WHEN THAT CIVIC SPACE IS IS DESIGNED AND MADE.

WE'VE ALSO OFFERED TO BRING THE FLOWER PROGRAM, JUST LIKE IN HERITAGE SQUARE WITH THE, YOU KNOW, WINE BARRELS AND AND ADD FLOWERS TO THAT SPACE AS WELL.

AND I WAS JUST THINKING THAT FLOWERS REALLY DO ENHANCE THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND ESPECIALLY IN SOME OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE IT COULD BE A LITTLE CHALLENGING WITH A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER THINGS, AND IT JUST THINKING THAT THAT'S A CHEAP WAY TO SPRUCE UP STUFF, AND IT'S HIGH ENOUGH OFF THE GROUND THAT THEY CAN'T BE DESTROYED BY PEOPLE.

AND WE'VE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE ADDED OBVIOUSLY YOU KNOW, WE.

DOWNTOWN IN THE SOUTH SIDE, WE HAVE GONE TO FOURTH STREET GATEWAY.

WE ADDED THREE PLANTERS TO THE ALLEY.

WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING TO EXPAND THAT PROGRAM.

FRESH FLOWERS. FLOWERS.

FLOWERS. FLOWERS. FLOWERS.

YES. DIANA.

HARRY. THANK YOU. FOR THAT.

WE HAVE A STORY.

WE WANT A STORY. HOWEVER, THE NEW PICKLEBALL COURT.

I DON'T HAVE A STORY, BUT I AM GLAD I'M NOW THE ONLY AMY HAGAN AT THIS PLACE.

THE OTHER FORMER AMY HAGAN, BECAUSE SHE GAVE ME QUITE THE REPUTATION.

IT WAS. IT IMPROVED YOUR PREVIOUS REPUTATION.

RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT PROS.

OR AS CITY MANAGER.

CLIFTON PUT IN THE CHAT.

PROS. PROS IS YOU GUYS ARE PROS.

OH, THERE'S THE INFAMOUS E ON THE END, MAN.

WE GOTTA DEAL WITH THAT.

IT'S MADE REFERENCE TO YOU GUYS DOING GETTING STUFF DONE.

AND I SAID PROS IS PROS.

[03:25:04]

NO. LIKE TREVOR I'M NEW HERE, SO GO EASY ON ME.

OKAY. GENERAL GOVERNMENT.

SO GENERAL FUND.

HERE ARE SOME PROSE PROJECTS THAT ARE YAY COMPLETE.

WE'VE GOT THE BUFFALO PARK ACCESSIBILITY GRANT THAT MAYOR DAGGETT WAS JUST ASKING ABOUT WHEN MARTIN ZINS WAS PRESENTING.

COMPLETE AMAZING.

YOU KNOW, LITTLE BIT OF TRIVIA.

WHO KNOWS HOW MANY PEOPLE PASS BY A MILE? A TRAIL COUNTER AT A CERTAIN MILE MARKER AT BUFFALO PARK DAILY.

WHO CAN GUESS A SECOND TO LOOK UP YOUR REPORT? WHO CAN GUESS? DAILY. DAILY.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? DAILY.

800. NO.

SHY. SHY.

800. THAT'S LESS THAN.

THE DAILIES ARE ACTUALLY ABOUT 400 DAILY.

OKAY. YEAH.

YEAH, YEAH.

BUT I WAS CLOSER TO THAN THE VICE MAYOR BY A LONG SHOT.

ABSOLUTELY, ABSOLUTELY.

THE PROJECT'S COMPLETE.

THAT'S AMAZING. AND WE'LL SEE THAT NUMBER INCREASE AS THIS WEATHER CHANGES, TOO.

FOR US, THORPE PARK RESTROOMS. THE IMAGE THERE IN THAT BOTTOM LEFT CORNER.

COMPLETE. AMAZING.

WE FINALLY HAVE PERMANENT RESTROOMS AT A LARGE 220 ACRE REGIONAL PARK.

IT'S AWESOME. YEAH.

WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS.

THIS IS HUGE, MAN.

CEMETERY. COLUMBARIUM.

COMPLETE. DEAD SERIOUS.

COMPLETE. OH, THAT ONE'S COMPLETE.

THAT'S THE IMAGE RIGHT THERE ON THE BOTTOM CENTER.

AND SOME OTHER IMAGES OF BUFFALO PARK.

THORPE PARK ANNEX AND ANNEX IS IN QUOTES BECAUSE STAFF ARE GOING TO CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD WITH ITS THORPE PARK.

THAT IS THAT EIGHT AND A HALF ACRES WHERE WE WENT THROUGH A PUBLIC PROCESS TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DECORATE IT.

PLUS WE HAVE THE FUTURE INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY CULTURAL CENTER.

SO THERE'S SOME MINOR IMPROVEMENTS, AND THOSE ARE UNDERWAY RIGHT NOW.

IF ANYONE HAS SEEN JUST THIS WEEK THAT FENCE IS DOWN THE PERIMETER CHAIN LINK FENCE THAT WENT AROUND THAT PROPERTY WHEN THE PROPERTY WAS USED.

AS FOR A DIFFERENT PURPOSE, FENCE IS GONE, GO CHECK IT OUT.

IT LOOKS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT UP THERE.

SO THAT'S UNDERWAY.

AND THEN OBSERVATORY MESA.

THAT'S A GRANT WITH OUR OPEN SPACE SECTION.

AND SO THAT PROJECT IS ALSO UNDERWAY.

ANY QUESTIONS ON ANYTHING IN GENERAL GOVERNMENT.

COMMENT, IF I MAY. SERIOUSLY, RIGHT AFTER THE SLIDE.

WELL, YOU KNOW REMOVING THE FENCE IS A BIG DEAL.

AND I REMEMBER A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN WE.

TALKED ABOUT STAGING MATERIALS THERE.

THERE'S A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION STUFF HAPPENING, AND WE HAD TO MEET WITH NEIGHBORS OUT THERE, AND THEY WERE A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED THAT THE AT THE VERY LEAST ABOUT WHAT WE WERE DOING. AND COLE'S TEAM HELPED US WITH SOME SIGNAGE AND WE TRIED TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT.

IT WAS VERY BENEFICIAL TO THE CITY TO STAGE STUFF THERE, FRANKLY.

BUT WE'VE NOW SEEN THAT GO FULL CIRCLE.

THE STUFF IS OUT, THE FENCE IS GONE.

PEOPLE ARE EXCITED ABOUT IT, SO PEOPLE ARE EXCITED ABOUT IT.

IT LOOKS LITERALLY LIKE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PROPERTY.

IT'S AMAZING. I THINK THEY'LL BE FURTHER CLEANUP WORKING WITH C.J.

PERRY AND IT TO FIGURE OUT SOME FIBER OPTIC INFRASTRUCTURE TO ENSURE THAT SUSTAINABILITY OFFICES ARE WELL TAKEN CARE OF.

AND THEN THERE'S A LINE THAT EXTENDS ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE PARK SHOP, AS WELL AS THE THORPE SOFTBALL COMPLEX CONCESSION STAND.

SO WE'RE GOING TO START WORKING THROUGH SOME OF THAT AND SOME OF THOSE INTRICACIES, AND THEN ALSO WORKING WITH FACILITY MAINTENANCE TEAM, ENSURING THAT EVERYTHING IS OKAY ON SITE WITH THE WATER SERVICE LINES, SEWER SERVICE LINES RECLAIM LINE.

SO JUST REALLY DOING SOME OF THAT FURTHER REMEDIATION, MINOR IMPROVEMENTS.

AND HOW CAN WE CONTINUE TO PREP THIS PROPERTY? YES. COUNCIL MEMBER MATTHEWS, CAN YOU GIVE ANY UPDATES? ON THE INDIGENOUS CULTURAL CENTER LIKE WHERE WE'RE AT TEN.

YES. ACTUALLY GOT AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH AN INDIGENOUS GROUP EARLIER THIS WEEK AT FLAG HIGH.

THAT WAS AMAZING.

EXCITED TO ESTABLISH THAT RELATIONSHIP WITH SOME YOUNG, CHARISMATIC INDIVIDUALS.

GO OUT AND CLEAN UP THE AREA AND GET IT READY.

YEAH. YEP. THERE'S BEEN CLEANUPS OCCURRING, WHICH IS AMAZING.

AND NOW THAT THE FENCE IS DOWN, THERE'LL BE SOME ADDITIONAL CLEANUPS, BOTH BY PARK STAFF AND BY THIS VOLUNTEER GROUP NEXT WEEK, MEETING WITH PROCUREMENT TO START TO DISCUSS WHAT DOES THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS RESEMBLE FOR THE FUTURE INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY CULTURAL CENTER.

SO EXCITED TO START TO FAST TRACK THIS.

HOPEFULLY. ONE MORE QUESTION ON THAT ARE WE DO YOU HAVE A SENSE OR ARE WE GETTING A SENSE OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IN TERMS OF.

[03:30:04]

THERE'S A LOT TO BE DONE INSIDE THE BUILDING.

THERE IS THERE'S ONE PORTION, IF FOR ANY FOLKS THAT WERE RECALL BEING IN THERE WHEN WE DID THIS PUBLIC OUTREACH PROCESS.

THERE IS A PORTION OF THE BUILDING.

IT'S ON THE WESTERN SIDE THAT'S MORE OF AN OFFICE FORMAT.

THAT COULD BE IDEAL TO START TO REHAB AND MAKE HABITABLE SOONER THAN, SAY, THE WESTERN, GREATER THAN WESTERN HALF.

ITS GREATER THAN HALF OF THE BUILDING.

THAT'S PRETTY PRETTY ROUGH.

IT WAS OUR FLEET SHOP.

IT'S ROUGH.

SO THAT'S GOING TO TAKE FURTHER REMEDIATION AND SIGNIFICANTLY MORE DOLLARS WHEN WE GET TO ANOTHER SLIDE.

NEXT FISCAL YEAR, THERE'S ADDITIONAL DOLLARS THAT THE PROSE DIVISION IS PROVIDING TOWARD FURTHER MITIGATION, REMEDIATION OR MAKING, SAY, THAT'S ONE SECTION OF OFFICE SPACE IS HABITABLE, THAT WE CAN CONTRIBUTE.

YOU HAVE A GUESSTIMATE, A TIMELINE ON, LIKE WHEN WE COULD HAVE THIS INDIGENOUS CULTURAL CENTER.

YOU DON'T.

I'M HOPING TO GET SOME.

CRIMELINE ANSWERS NEXT WEEK WITH THAT MEETING WITH PROCUREMENT.

SO WE NEED TO GO THROUGH THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS RECEIVE RESPONDENTS PROPOSALS AND THEN AWARD IT AND THEN CAN START TO WORK WITH.

AND ALSO WHAT IS THE SCOPE OF WORK ENTAIL? WILL IT BE SIMILAR TO THEATRICALS? WILL IT BE SIMILAR TO MURDOCH CENTER? WE'RE JUST NOT 100% CERTAIN JUST YET AND WANT TO WORK THROUGH SOME OF THOSE DETAILS.

AND LASTLY, AT OUR LAST CONVERSATION AT THE INDIGENOUS COMMISSION, THE KIDS ARE REALLY LIKE THEY'RE PLANTING SEEDLINGS. IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION WHERE WE COULD CARVE OUT A.

KEYS TO THE PROPERTY THAT WON'T INTERFERE WITH, YOU KNOW, THE FUTURE.

WHOEVER IS GOING TO TAKE IT OVER SO THEY COULD START FEELING A CONNECTION TO THE LAND AND PLANTING THEIR OWN PLANTS.

BECAUSE I KNOW THEY'VE GOT THEM IN LITTLE BOXES IN THEIR CLASSROOM.

THEY DO? YES. AND THAT WAS THE GROUP I MET WITH MONDAY NIGHT AT FLAGG HIGH SCHOOL.

SO WITH THAT CONVERSATION WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY WHERE CAN THESE SEEDS GO NOW? AND THERE'S THE GREENHOUSE ON SITE THAT PARK STAFF USE FOR POLLINATOR PLANTS.

SO WE'RE GOING TO CARVE OUT A SPACE TO TRANSPORT ALL OF THESE PLANTINGS FROM THAT YOUTH GROUP INSIDE THE GREENHOUSE UNTIL THEY'RE COMFORTABLE BRINGING THEM OUT, PROBABLY IN LATE APRIL OR MAY.

I BELIEVE THAT YOUTH GROUP ALSO APPLIED FOR A BPAC GRANT TO CREATE KIND OF MOBILE PLANTER BEDS AT A PALLET, I BELIEVE IS WHAT THEY DESCRIBED TO ME.

SO THEN I THINK THEY'D LIKE TO TRANSPORT THOSE PLANTS INTO THOSE MOBILE RAISED PLANTER BEDS IN APRIL OR MAY.

SO WORKING WITH THAT GROUP TO FIGURE OUT HOW CAN WE BEST ACCOMMODATE.

YEAH. GOOD QUESTIONS.

YES. IS SUSTAINABILITY THE SUSTAINABILITY OFFICERS THEIR LONG TERM OR TEMPORARY OR WHAT? WE ARE OUT THERE LONG TERM.

YES. THANK YOU.

IT CAN WORK ON RECENTLY.

YES. THEY'VE HAD SOME RENOVATIONS.

ABSOLUTELY. YEAH.

THEY TRIED TO LOCATE IN CITY HALL.

WE WOULD NOT ALLOW IT.

COME ON OUT OF THERE.

COME TO THE PARK SHOP. WE SAID NO TO DO THIS BECAUSE NICOLE'S NOT IN THE ROOM.

JENNY'S NO SENSE.

THESE DEMONS PROBABLY LIKE.

WAIT, WHAT? OKAY, SO LET'S JUMP INTO SOME OF THOSE GENERAL GOVERNMENT DOLLAR ITEMS THAT ARE FUNDED.

THIS UP NEXT FISCAL YEAR THROUGH OUR BUDGET PROCESS THAT WE'VE JUST GONE THROUGH.

FIRST ONE. WOW.

HUGE, $1.5 MILLION TO REDO THE SIDING AT THE FLAGSTAFF, AQUAPLEX.

THESE ARE SOME IMAGES OF WHAT THE CEMENTITIOUS BOARD IS, WHAT WAS INSTALLED IN 2007 2008.

IT'S JUST NOT HOLDING UP WELL.

WE'VE GOT LARGE CRACKS, WE'VE GOT EXPOSURE OCCURRING.

IT'S SIGNIFICANT FADING, WHICH THAT'S JUST COSMETIC BUT STILL DOESN'T LOOK GREAT FOR A MEMBERSHIP BASED RECREATION CENTER.

SO THE PROS DEPARTMENT HAS A DIVISION, HAS BEEN AWARDED 1.5 MILLION TO DO THE SIDING.

SO THIS CEMENTITIOUS BOARD IS GOING TO COME OFF IN A NEW SIDING PRODUCT UP.

YES. DO WE BLAME COUNCILMEMBER ROBERTSON FOR THAT 100%? YES. HIS NAME IS ALL OVER IT.

NO. ACTUALLY, PUBLIC WORKS HAS BEEN AN EXCELLENT PARTNER IN THIS.

AND IN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW THE HECK CAN WE GET THIS RECREATION CENTER EXTERIOR OF IT REDONE.

[03:35:01]

WHAT PRODUCTS SHOULD WE BE PUTTING UP VERSUS WHAT SHOULD WE NOT, AND ENSURING THAT WE'RE BUYING A PRODUCT THAT'S GOING TO LAST A LOT LONGER THAN THIS PRODUCT DID? IT'S A GREAT PROJECT. I THINK OF THIS AND I THINK OF THE NEW WINDOWS AT THE LIBRARY, AND IT'S LIKE WE'RE BUILDINGS, YOU KNOW, IT'S GOOD TO SEE THAT WE'RE TAKING CARE OF THEM.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A HUGE IMPROVEMENT FROM THE INTERIOR.

YEAH. IT'LL EVEN JUST COSMETICALLY LOOK DIFFERENT TO I THINK IT'LL LOOK AMAZING.

SO THAT ONE IS JUST AN ABSOLUTE JOY, A SIGNIFICANTLY SMALLER ONE, BUT STILL CARRIES SOME GREAT IMPORTANCE.

ALONG THE BUTLER AVENUE AREA AT BOTH LARUE, SOUTH LARUE AND SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO ARE TWO SITTING AREAS.

THE THIRD ONE IS BEING CONVERTED TO THE CLEO MURDOCK PARK, AS WE JUST HEARD WITH GIANNA AND BEAUTIFICATION ARTS AND SCIENCES.

SO THESE ARE THE OTHER TWO SITTING AREAS.

THEY'RE BOTH ALSO BUS STOPS WITH MOUNTAIN LION.

THEY'RE NUISANCE PROPERTIES FOR PROS AND FOR OUR PD DEPARTMENT.

WE DO SEE A LOT OF UNWANTED BEHAVIORS.

WE SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS COME THROUGH.

SO THIS IS JUST MINOR JUST JUST A DEMOLITION.

WHAT DO WE DO TO KIND OF CLEAN IT UP, REMOVE ANYTHING THAT MAYBE HELPS CREATE THOSE UNWANTED BEHAVIORS AND THEN CONTINUE TO WORK WITH OUR CITY ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT ON THAT BUTLER WIDENING PROJECT.

AND WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THIS SPACE? HOW CAN THESE TWO SPACES BE USED DIFFERENTLY NOW IN THE FUTURE? SO AGAIN, IT'S JUST SMALL.

I THINK WE CAN KEEP, YOU KNOW, SOME I'VE BEEN ASKED LIKE, WHAT IS DEMO REALLY MEAN IN THESE SPACES, THOSE LARGE MATURE TREES.

LET'S KEEP THOSE MAY, YOU KNOW, THE JUNIPER SHRUBS, THE SITTING AREAS, THE TRASH CANS, ANYTHING THAT INVITE UNWANTED BEHAVIORS. LET'S REMOVE THAT.

AND SO THAT IS THE POINT OF THIS SMALL PROJECT TO EXECUTE NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

ANY QUESTIONS ON EITHER OF THOSE TWO? ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON THROUGH.

SO WHEN MARTIN WAS UP HERE JUST ABOUT HALF HOUR OR SO AGO.

THIS IS.

SO THIS IS THAT'S THE URBAN TRAIL.

THAT'S WHAT OUR ASPHALT URBAN TRAIL LOOKS LIKE IN OUR SYSTEM.

YEAH. THAT'S AWESOME.

SO IN WORKING WITH TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING AND OUR BUDGET TEAM, PROSE WAS ASKED THIS BUDGET CYCLE.

YEAH, WE HAD MONEY TO PROVIDE.

COULD YOU PROJECT MANAGE A REPLACEMENT OF THE ASPHALT, SOME OF THE ASPHALT SYSTEM? THERE'S ROUGHLY. THERE'S A TOTAL OF 11 MILES.

THERE ARE TWO SEGMENTS THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED COMMUTER SEGMENTS.

THERE'S THE 180 URBAN TRAIL THAT'S ASPHALT.

AND THERE'S THE LONE TRAIL, A LONE TREE, LONE TRAIL.

GOOD GRIEF. THERE'S THE LONE TREE, AND THERE'S LOTS AND THERE'S JOHN WESLEY POWELL.

THERE'S A HANDFUL OF THEM.

SOME OF THEM ARE IN BETTER SHAPE THAN OTHERS.

LONE TREE AND 180 ARE IN TERRIBLE SHAPE.

SO THIS IS THERE'S $250,000 RIGHT NOW THIS FISCAL YEAR, AND THEN THAT WILL BE SUPPLEMENTED WITH 1 MILLION AND A HANDFUL OF MONTHS HERE.

SO PROSE IS GOING TO HIT THE GROUND RUNNING HARD.

AND WE'RE GOING TO GET WELL.

WE'LL IDENTIFY WHICH OF THOSE SEGMENTS IS NEED TO REPLACE.

WE WILL GET AS MUCH DONE AS WE CAN.

REPLACEMENT IS NOT IN ASPHALT.

IT'S GOING TO BE IN CONCRETE.

IT'LL BE SIX INCHES THICK WITH A TURN DOWN.

IT'S MEANT TO LAST THE 50 YEAR TIME FRAME, NOT A SHORTER DURATION, UNFORTUNATELY.

IT'S EXCITING STUFF.

THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINT PHONE CALLS I RECEIVE IS, AND IT'S DIFFICULT TO ANSWER BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ANSWERS BEFORE.

NOW WE DO THE REALLY AMAZING STUFF.

AND THEN THERE MAY BE SOME DOLLARS BEYOND.

SO LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN DO WITH THIS FIRST 1.2 MILLION AND THEN SEE HOW THIS WORKS FOR FUTURE, BECAUSE WE'LL GET AS MUCH DONE AS POSSIBLE.

THERE STILL MAY BE, AGAIN, SEGMENTS THAT NEED TO BE DONE.

AND THIS WILL BUILD A STRATEGIC PLAN TOWARD THAT.

AND AGAIN, THAT IS PROP 409, A PART OF THE TRANSPORTATION TAX, THAT FUNDING MECHANISM.

QUESTIONS ON THAT.

WE'LL BE OUT IN THE FIELD A LOT.

I HAVE A FEELING THIS SUMMER.

OH. WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE TENNIS COURTS.

OH, YEAH.

BASKETBALL AND TENNIS.

SO THESE ARE THIS IS A PART OF THE RECREATION FUND BALANCE.

SO YOU NOTICE THE BAG OF MONEY'S CHANGED.

THIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR.

SO WE'RE WORKING ON THE SPORT COURTS AT BUSHMASTER PARK, JUST UNDER $1 MILLION IN, IN DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION ON THAT.

WE ARE ALMOST DONE WITH DESIGN, SO SHOULD BE SEEKING PERMITS SOON AND HOPEFULLY STARTING CONSTRUCTION IN MAY.

SO IN ABOUT A MONTH.

REALLY EXCITING STUFF.

THEY LOOK AMAZING.

[03:40:02]

WE'RE PAINTING ALL OF THE COURTS THAT COLOR, MAYBE IN LIKE AN ALTERNATE SCHEME TO BOUNCE THE COLORS OFF EACH OTHER, BUT WE THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE REALLY NEAT TO HAVE THE SAME COLOR SCHEME IN ONE PARK, NOT JUST FOR MAINTENANCE NEEDS, BUT ALSO JUST FOR APPEARANCE.

ON PURPOSE. THE COURTS WERE ORIGINALLY DESIGNED THIS WAY, SO IT WAS ALSO EASY TO IDENTIFY WHAT IS PICKLEBALL, WHAT IS TENNIS, AND WHAT IS BASKETBALL? THAT ONE'S ONGOING.

THAT ONE'S EXCITING.

LET'S TALK A HERITAGE SQUARE RESTROOM.

UNLESS. ANY QUESTIONS ON PICKLE SPORT COURTS.

YOU GUYS LIKE THAT ONE? YEAH. LET'S TALK HERE. RESTROOM.

SO, HIGH PRIORITY FOR THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION, I THINK.

HIGH PRIORITY FOR OUR DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES.

THE CURRENT RESTROOMS THERE IN AN ALLEY ACROSS FROM UPTOWN BILLIARDS THERE IN AN ALCOVE THERE.

THEY'RE JUST NOT GREAT.

LET'S JUST BE HONEST. THEY'RE NOT GREAT.

SO ORIGINALLY, WHAT WE WERE THINKING ABOUT FROM A STAFF LENS WAS BRINGING FORWARD.

I'M SURE YOU ALL HAVE SEEN THE PRESENTATIONS ON THE PORTLAND LOO SINGLE USE BATHROOM SINCE THEN.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S BEEN SOME OBSTACLES.

DECORATING HERITAGE SQUARE IS NOT EASY.

IT'S ALSO NOT NECESSARILY THE CITY'S PROPERTY TO DECORATE.

WE'VE GOT WE'VE GONE THROUGH A HANDFUL OF IDEAS RIGHT NOW WHERE WE ARE ON THIS IS MAYBE WE TAKE THIS 250,000 AND REHAB THOSE ALLEY RESTROOMS. HOW DO WE CHANGE THEM TO CHANGE THOSE UNWANTED BEHAVIORS? DO WE BRING THEM INSIDE? MAYBE, I DON'T KNOW, WE COULD CERTAINLY ADJUST THE HOURS OF OPERATION.

COULD WE CREATE A DIFFERENT TOUCH TONE? COULD THEY HAVE A CONCIERGE JANITORIAL SERVICE ASSOCIATED WITH THEM? SO THAT WAY THEY'RE CHECKED MORE FREQUENTLY THAN THEY ARE TODAY.

SO WE'RE GOING THROUGH A HANDFUL OF IDEAS AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO BEST DO THIS IN LIEU OF PUTTING A PORTLAND LOO ANYWHERE ON THE SQUARE OR IN THE NORTHERN DOWNTOWN AREA.

SO WE'VE TAKEN A HANDFUL OF STEPS FORWARD AND WE'RE KIND OF BACK TO GROUND ZERO.

BUT THAT'S OKAY.

THAT MEANS WE'RE DOING OUR DUE DILIGENCE, AND I'M COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.

YES. AND CAN YOU SPEAK BRIEFLY ON MAYBE SEEING ANOTHER AREA AS A TESTING I COULD, YES, ABSOLUTELY.

SO PART OF THIS CONVERSATION WAS THE PORTLAND LOO CONCEPT IS COOL.

YOU KNOW, IT LOOKS LIKE THE IT LOOKS LIKE A TINY AIRSTREAM.

IT'S SIX FOOT BY EIGHT FOOT SINGLE USE TOILET.

WHERE ELSE COULD WE PUT ONE TO STILL BRING ONE INTO OUR SYSTEM? SO SOME IDEAS HAVE BEEN MAYBE WHEELER PARK BECAUSE THAT COULD HELP WITH THE IMPACTS OUR LIVE DOWNTOWN LIBRARY FEELS AND CITY HALL FEELS.

WE'VE ALSO TALKED ABOUT COULD WE PLACE ONE AROUND THE VISITOR CENTER BECAUSE THAT RESTROOM FEELS AN IMPACT FROM THE PUBLIC, SO IT DOESN'T MEAN THE PORTLAND LOO IS OFF THE TABLE. IT JUST MEANS WE'RE GOING TO LOOK FOR A DIFFERENT LOCATION AND THINK ABOUT HERITAGE SQUARE RESTROOM IN A DIFFERENT WAY.

SO. I'VE PUBLIC RESTROOMS IN THE BUILDING WHERE JOHN VANLANDINGHAM OWNS THAT BUILDING.

THAT'S THE NORTH SIDE OF HERITAGE GROVE.

THEY'RE NOT THE CITY'S PUBLIC RESTROOMS, BUT, I MEAN, THEY'RE ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC DURING BUSINESS HOURS.

BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE, ACROSS FROM HERITAGE SQUARE.

OVER. I, YOU KNOW, ON THE OTHER SIDE, SOUTH SIDE OF THAT ASPEN.

ASPEN AND STUFF. THERE'S NO PUBLIC RESTROOMS THAT I KNOW OF, RIGHT? NONE. THE ONLY OTHER ONE IS AT THE AMTRAK STATION, INSIDE THE VISITOR CENTER.

SO IS THERE ANY THOUGHT OF? BE PUTTING IN OR FINDING A WAY TO HAVE PUBLIC RESTROOMS ON THAT SIDE OF THE STREET.

STILL SO STILL NORTH OF THE TRACKS.

COUNCIL MEMBER RIGHT NEXT TO RAINBOWS IN.

THAT WAS A THOUGHT. ACTUALLY, I TURNED IT DOWN.

I MET WITH AMY.

WAS LIKE, IS THERE? YEAH, YEAH.

SO, YOU KNOW, THERE'S THERE'S SOME THERE WERE RED FLAGS.

WE'RE TRYING TO PLACE THIS RESTROOM ON HERITAGE SQUARE.

IT'S A BIG NO NO TO DO CROSS UTILITIES.

SO WHERE WAS THE POTABLE WATER GOING TO COME FROM? WHERE WAS THE SEWER AND ELECTRICITY GOING TO COME FROM? SO THAT JUST BECAME A BIG ISSUE.

SO THEN THERE IS A PARKING LOT.

IT'S ON THE IN BETWEEN.

IT'S THE LARUE PARKING LOT IS WHAT WE LABEL IT AS.

I BELIEVE THERE'S 8 OR 9 ADA SPACE PARKING SPACES THERE.

AND THEN THERE ARE TWO PARALLEL OR TWO JUST NEXT TO EACH OTHER.

REGULAR PARKING SPACES NEXT TO A DUMPSTER.

SO TOOK A LOOK AT THOSE.

QUITE HONESTLY, HAVING A RESTROOM OUTSIDE EATERIES JUST DOESN'T FEEL GREAT.

[03:45:05]

IT WAS NOT WARM AND FUZZY.

SO THAT'S WHAT KICKED US BACK TO THIS.

HOW DO WE REHAB THESE EXISTING RESTROOMS? ANOTHER THING TO MENTION IS THIS PORTLAND LOO SINGLE UNIT.

SO WE'RE TAKING AWAY TWO RESTROOMS PUBLIC AND REPLACING IT WITH ONE.

THAT DIDN'T FEEL GOOD EITHER TO BUSINESS OWNERS, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT MIGHT HAVE WHAT FEEL LIKE MORE LIKE PUBLIC RESTROOMS JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE OUT IN THE OPEN.

THEY'RE NOT, SAY, WITHIN THE BUSINESS DIRECTLY OR INSIDE THE RESTAURANT OR BAR.

SO WE WENT THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

WE DID TAKE A HARD LOOK AT THAT PARKING LOT AND HAVE JUST QUITE HONESTLY, JUST GONE BACK TO GROUND ONE AND SAY HOW DO WE REHAB WHAT WE HAVE? THERE'S A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH TO THAT TOO, BECAUSE THEN WE'RE TAKING WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE AND SEEING HOW WE CAN MAKE IT BETTER.

AND WE'RE USING.

SUCH A UNITY IF YOU HAVE SOME CONCIERGE TYPE SERVICE? WE ARE ABSOLUTELY.

AND I THINK THAT COULD BE AN AMAZING PIECE TO THIS.

IT REALLY COULD MAYBE HAVE THAT PERSON BE AN AMBASSADOR TO NIGERIA.

THEY COULD ABSOLUTELY.

YOU KNOW, JUST FOR EVERYONE'S REMINDER, PARK STAFF MAINTAIN HERITAGE SQUARE ITSELF AND THEN DO STREET TREE MAINTENANCE IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA.

SO IS IT SOMEONE THAT ALSO WORKS HAND IN HAND WITH THOSE INDIVIDUALS BECAUSE WE'RE DOWN THERE CONSTANTLY, PLUS OBVIOUSLY DO SNOW OPERATION DOWN THERE.

SO IT IS THAT CONCIERGE SERVICE OR THAT WHATEVER WE CAN PROVIDE START TO WORK CLOSELY WITH THE PARKS DEPARTMENT MORE THAN LIKELY.

I KNOW WHERE THOSE BATHROOMS ARE.

IN THE ALLEY ACROSS FROM THE CREPERIE.

BUT AN AVERAGE TOURIST WOULD HAVE NO IDEA OF HOW TO FIND THOSE TWO SIGNS WOULD BE USEFUL.

THANK YOU. WISH YOU MANY YEARS AGO, ONE OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS ASKED.

THERE WAS SOME WAY WE COULD PUT A RESTROOM.

PARK. OR, YOU KNOW, IN WHEELER PARK.

WELL, YEAH, NORTH OF CITY HALL.

AND SHE SAID SHE'D LOOK INTO THAT.

AND IF YOU HAD COUNCIL MEMBER WAS WAS IT COUNCIL MEMBER MCCARTHY? YEAH. YEAH.

HE JUST TOOK US THIS LONG.

THAT'S ALL I SAID YEARS AGO.

AND NEVER GOT AN ANSWER, SO I GUESS I'LL ASK IT AGAIN.

YOU KNOW, AND I KNOW THE MARRIOTT.

THERE'S NO BATHROOM THERE.

YOU KNOW, I KNOW WHERE THE BATHROOMS ARE DOWNTOWN.

BUT, YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY NEW TO TOWN, THEY WOULD HAVE NO IDEA.

THEY WOULD HAVE NO IDEA.

DISCOVER FLAGSTAFF WE COULD DO A BATHROOM TOUR.

I DO DAILY COUNCIL MEMBER MCCARTHY NOW.

DISCOVER FLAGSTAFF DOES HAVE A MAP THAT INDICATES WHERE THE PUBLIC RESTROOMS ARE, BUT THAT'S NOT THE END ALL.

WAY TO INFORM EVERYONE.

AND SO WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO IS SEE HOW WE CAN REHAB THESE.

AND THEN IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY, BECAUSE THERE STILL MAY EVEN BE FUNDS LEFT OVER OF THIS 250,000 AND STILL GET THAT RESTROOM AT WHEELER PARK, THE PARK NORTH OF CITY HALL, BECAUSE AGAIN, THAT WOULD RELEASE A LOT OF IMPACTS.

DOWNTOWN LIBRARY FEELS AS THE CITY HALL BATHROOM WOULD.

YEAH. IF YOU DON'T PUT BATHROOMS IN I'LL JUST TELL A QUICK STORY.

I WAS I KNOW WHEN I WAS WORKING ON MY MASTER'S DEGREE, I STUDIED CITY PLANNING IN EUROPE FOR A MONTH.

AND NO BATHROOMS. WE'RE IN ITALY, RIGHT? SO THE GUYS, WE JUST GO DOWN THE ALLEY AND THE GIRLS WOULDN'T DO IT.

EXCEPT 45 MINUTES LATER THEY DID BECAUSE THEY HAD NO CHOICE.

ANOTHER STORY IS I WENT INTO A COFFEE SHOP AND, YOU KNOW, I SAID IN ITALIAN, WHERE'S THE RESTROOM? YOU WANT TO BUY US COFFEE? IN OTHER WORDS, WOULD YOU LIKE TO BUY A COFFEE? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

YEAH. I THINK IT IS AN IMPORTANT.

IT'S A REAL BASIC HUMAN NEED AND BASIC SERVICE.

WE DON'T PROVIDE IT.

THE PEOPLE WILL GO WHERE THEY SHOULDN'T BE GOING.

EXACTLY. THAT IS OUR CONCERN.

AND THAT WAS ALSO A CONCERN WITH THERE'S TWO EXISTING AND REPLACING WITH ONE.

JUST DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT.

WE'RE NOT DOING THAT.

BUT IN THE BEST SERVICE.

ADD ONE AND KEEP THE TWO.

THAT WAS DISCUSSED TO YOU, BUT I THINK THIS ONE JUST MIGHT GO AGAIN.

IT WON'T BE DIRECTLY IN THAT DOWNTOWN AREA.

AND THAT WHEELER PARK OR POSSIBLY OUTSIDE VISITOR CENTER IF YOU.

ABSOLUTELY. MAYBE BEFORE YOU MOVE ON, I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR ALL THE REACH OUT AND AND TALKING TO THE MEMBERS.

AND YOU THINK ADDING A BATHROOM WOULD BE EASY, BUT IT TURNS OUT IT'S NOT.

[03:50:04]

OH, ABSOLUTELY.

OUR PLEASURE. OUR PLEASURE.

SHE'S PRO. C PROS.

ROSA PARK RECONSTRUCTION.

THAT PROJECT.

IT WILL HAPPEN.

IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN THIS FISCAL YEAR.

WE STILL HAVE. WE HAVE THE ENTIRE SUITE OF THE SPRUCE WASH.

SO IT'S GOING ON SINCE 8 OR 9.

CAN'T RECALL. ANYHOW, ONCE THAT THE STORM WATER COMPONENT IS DEVELOPED, THEN WE CAN DEVELOP THE PARK AND MEET DEFINITELY QUARTERLY, SOMETIMES MONTHLY, BASED ON NEED WITH THE SEASIDE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION TO KEEP THAT GROUP ENGAGED AND INFORMED ON THE STATUS OF THIS MISS.

IT'S ALMOST BEEN FOUR YEARS SINCE THEY'VE HAD THE ENTIRE PARK, THAT COMMUNITY.

SO LOOKING FORWARD TO BRINGING THIS WITH A GOOD BANG ONCE WE CAN GET THE STORM WATER PIECE DONE.

Q WEST SIDE PARK.

ALL RIGHT. THIS ONE.

YEAH. THIS ONE WAS FUN FOR ANYONE'S KNOWLEDGE.

THIS THING WAS FUNDED 4 OR 5 YEARS AGO.

THERE WAS SOMETHING CALLED COVID THAT HIT AND THAT FUNDING.

FUNDING CHANGED. WE WENT INTO OUR RECESSION, FUNDING CAME BACK WE WERE SMART ABOUT IT.

WE FUNDED THIS PROJECT OVER TWO FISCAL YEARS.

SO THIS FISCAL YEAR IS ONLY 350,000 BECAUSE, PLEASE, I CANNOT DELIVER A PARK FOR $350,000.

BUT I CAN ASSURE US THAT.

GET IT DESIGNED, PERFORM OUTREACH TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOOD IS BOULDER POINT, AND WE WOULD JUST SOAR WITH THE CAPITAL PROJECT CAPITAL CAPITAL PROJECTS.

THERE'LL BE SOME CALMING DEVICES GOING ON IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THEN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD BE RECEIVING A NEIGHBORHOOD CLASSIFICATION PARK.

THAT WOULD BE OUR FIRST PARK TO DELIVER SINCE 2003, SINCE FOXLAND PARK.

PRETTY COOL.

SO WE WILL DEFINITELY GET THERE'S A DESIGN CONTRACT THAT'S UNDERWAY.

HAD THE FIRST KICK OFF MEETING TWO DAYS AGO.

REALLY EXCITED TO GET THIS GOING AND PERFORM MORE OF A NEIGHBORHOOD OUTREACH TO AGAIN NEIGHBORHOOD PARK.

EVEN THOUGH OTHERS FROM WHEREVER IN OUR GREATER COMMUNITY MAY GO AND ENJOY THIS PARK.

SO I WANT TO FIND OUT FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WHAT DO YOU WANT YOUR PARK? WITHIN REASON. AMY, IS THIS THE SPACE WHERE THE HOA OWNED THE LAND BUT REALLY WASN'T DOING ANYTHING WITH IT? THAT'S CORRECT.

SO THERE'S A LITTLE OVER FIVE ACRES THAT ARE FOR THE PARK.

IT'S JUST UPHILL FROM THE STAPLES COMMERCIAL CENTER.

AND THEN THE THERE'S A WHEN THAT BOULDER POINT SUBDIVISION WAS CREATED THERE, ONE OF THEIR SPACES, I BELIEVE, FOR TRACT A, IT'S HUGE.

IT GOES THROUGH THE WHOLE COMMUNITY.

THAT'S WHAT WE DO NOT HAVE.

WE DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO RIGHT OF WAY TO ACCESS THIS PARK.

SO I AM TALKING WITH THE HOA ARE GOING TO BE START BRINGING THOSE CONVERSATIONS BACK ON.

IS IT AN ACCESS EASEMENT? I THINK THAT'S WHERE THEY LANDED LAST A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN WE LAST TALKED ABOUT IT IS THAT'S WHAT THEY WOULD PREFER IS JUST PROVIDE A FLAGSTAFF AND ACCESS EASEMENT X, Y, Z WIDE, PROBABLY ABOUT 30 FOOT WIDE, SO WE CAN ACCESS THE PARK.

SO CAN THE COMMUNITY OFF THE STREET, OFF THE RIGHT OF WAY, WHICH IS NORTH HIGHLAND MESA DRIVE.

SO NO PARKING LOT? I DON'T THINK SO.

IT'S A NEIGHBORHOOD PARK.

I WILL OBVIOUSLY I WANT THE THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO DECIDE THAT THERE'S A FINITE DOLLAR AMOUNT TO BUILD THIS.

SO IF A PARKING LOT COSTS 250,000, YOU REALLY WANT ONE? YEAH. OR WOULD YOU RATHER GET SOMETHING ELSE IN YOUR PARK? I DON'T THINK IT'S REQUIRED.

MAYBE A COUPLE OF ADA SPACES TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE BEING ACCESSIBLE AND INCLUSIVE AND THEN OBVIOUSLY MAINTENANCE ACCESS.

BUT BEYOND THAT, I DON'T SEE A LARGE PARKING LOT.

EXCELLENT QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT.

SO THAT IS IT'S LITERALLY JUST STARTING.

WE'RE HOPING TO DO SOME OUTREACH ON THAT IN LATE APRIL MAY BEFORE SCHOOL SESSION IS OUT, BECAUSE I ALSO WANT TO INCLUDE THE YOUTH IN THE COMMUNITIES ON WHAT DO YOU WANT IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD PARK KIND OF THING.

IT'D BE FUN TO GO THROUGH.

AMY. YES. I'M GOING TO HAVE TO LEAVE IN JUST A MINUTE, UNFORTUNATELY.

BUT CAN YOU TAKE THREE MINUTES OR SO AND TALK ABOUT THE MURDOCH CENTER PARK? I MEAN, I, I, WE, I KNOW THAT THERE'S A STATUE GOING IN, BUT THERE REALLY HASN'T BEEN ANY REAL CONVERSATION ABOUT THE PARK.

SO CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE PARK? YOU CAN TRY AND TELL YOU WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE PARK, AND I MIGHT SEE IF JANA KNOWS MUCH OR.

YES, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

BUT BECAUSE. BECAUSE IT'S REALLY WITH THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

IT WAS BLOCK GRANT FUNDED.

WHAT? A GENTLEMAN IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT IS WORKING ON THE PROJECT.

[03:55:02]

OKAY. JUST YET.

I KNOW THAT THERE'S BEEN SOME STOP AND GOES ON IT, PROBABLY BASED ON FUNDING AND NOT SURE WHAT ELSE.

I WISH I HAD BETTER ANSWERS FOR YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS, BUT I KNOW THERE WAS SOME MINOR DEMOLITION THAT'S OCCURRED.

I THINK THERE WAS A MEETING ON SITE.

WAS THAT JUST TODAY? THAT'S JUST FOR THE STATUE.

THAT'S ARTWORK.

OKAY. GOT YOU.

I CAN TRY AND GATHER SOME MORE INFORMATION ON THAT AND SEND YOU AN EMAIL ON THAT, IF THAT WOULD WORK.

DAN, FOLK, CAN YOU HEAR US? CAN YOU JUMP IN? BECAUSE I KNOW THERE WAS A MEETING AND ANOTHER MEETING ON THIS AS WELL.

A COUPLE COMMENTS THERE TOO, THAT I THINK ARE PERTAINING TO IT.

THE PROCUREMENT TALKS, SAID THEY'RE WAITING ON A QUOTE FROM A VENDOR THROUGH A COUNTY COOPERATIVE.

COME FOR CLEO MURDOCK PARK.

I WAS ON SITE WITH THE MARK REVIS TODAY, AND I KNOW THAT HE SAID THAT THE CHAIN LINK FENCE WAS COMING DOWN WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO, SO I KNOW THAT PROGRESS.

HE TOLD ALL OUR FINALISTS TODAY.

THAT'S THE ONLY THE ONLY REASON I KNOW, BECAUSE AGAIN, NOT OVERSEEING THAT PROJECT OURSELVES, I KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, THE BALLARD LIGHTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED.

THEY HAVE. AND I KNOW THEY'RE PLANNING ON REMOVING ALL THE JUNIPER SHRUBS, THE JUNIPER BUSHES.

BUT I DON'T KNOW WHEN THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

I HAVE OFFERED, AS PART OF THE BEAUTIFICATION TO DO SOME REPLACEMENT PLANTING OF THINGS THAT ARE ACCEPTABLE, MORE LIKE THE HOLLY AND THE PYRACANTHA.

AND I ALSO TOLD THE ARTISTS WHO ARE MAKING PROPOSALS THAT IF THEY WANTED SOME SPECIAL LANDSCAPING, AS LONG AS IT WAS NATIVE PLANTS THAT YOU KNOW, WE WOULD DO THAT.

I KNOW HE'S ALSO PLANNING A MONUMENT SIGN ON THE BRANDON SIDE THAT SAYS THE CLEO MURDOCK PARK.

THAT'S WHAT I GAINED FROM TODAY'S MEETING, AND THAT'S WHAT I CAN PASS ON TO YOU.

DAN FOLK IS AVAILABLE, TOO.

THANK YOU. JEN. BUT YOU'RE ABLE TO.

HEY, GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE.

I JUST STEPPED OUT OF MY OFFICE FOR A FEW MINUTES, AND I CAME BACK AND I SAW GREG'S QUESTION ABOUT MURDOCH.

IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU GOT A BIT OF AN UPDATE, BUT, YEAH, WE'D GOTTEN A QUOTE, AND IT WAS OUT OF BUDGET.

AND SO NOW WE'RE WORKING DIRECTLY WITH THE LOCAL FIRM TO GIVE US A QUOTE TO DO.

I THINK PRETTY MUCH THE FULL SCOPE.

WE'RE HOPING OF THE IMPROVEMENTS.

AND WE'RE HOPING TO DO THAT HERE VERY QUICKLY THIS SPRING.

WE'RE VERY AWARE OF THE DESIRE TO BRING THE JUNETEENTH EVENT BACK TO MURDOCH CENTER.

AND SO WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS COMPLETED AND TIDY AND READY TO GO FOR JUNE.

THANKS, DAN. COULD YOU SPEAK TO, IN GENERAL CONCEPTS WHAT THE NEW PARK MIGHT INCLUDE THAT'S DIFFERENT FROM WHAT'S THERE RIGHT NOW? SURE. AND I CAN FIND THE GRAPHIC AND PUT IT UP HERE.

BUT ESSENTIALLY, YEAH, IT STARTS WITH THE POCKET PARK THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, WHICH IS TO THE WEST OF THE MURDOCH CENTER.

AND OPENING THAT UP, I THINK WE'VE DONE I THINK SOME OF THE LANDSCAPING HAS BEEN ADDRESSED ALREADY.

SOME NEW LIGHTING HAS ALREADY GONE IN THERE.

I THINK EARLIER THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THE PUBLIC ART THAT'S PROPOSED FOR THAT LOCATION.

AND SO IMPROVEMENTS TO THE POCKET PARK, TRYING TO OPEN IT UP, I BELIEVE, CREATE A LITTLE MORE VISIBILITY.

IT DOES CREATE A NUISANCE FOR MURDOCH CENTER AND THE FOLKS AT THE MURDOCH.

AND THEN IMPROVEMENTS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE MURDOCH CENTER.

SO WHERE THE CHESSBOARD IS THERE'S PLANS TO PUT IN LANDSCAPING A SIDEWALK THAT WILL GO ACROSS THE PROPERTY A SMALL STORAGE BUILDING WHERE THE OVERSIZE CHESS PIECES CAN BE KEPT OUTSIDE.

AND SO HOPEFULLY THAT'LL PROMOTE MORE USE OF THAT.

I WOULD SAY JUST GENERAL BEAUTIFICATION OF THE PROPERTY ITSELF.

AND THEN THERE IS A SIGN.

SO A NEW SIGN AT THE DRIVEWAY THERE.

AGAIN WITH SOME LANDSCAPING.

I BELIEVE MAYBE SOME IRRIGATION IS INVOLVED.

AND SO THAT'S KIND OF AN OVERVIEW OF THE BEAUTIFICATION SIDE OF IT.

AND I'LL FIND THE PLAN AND PUT IT UP.

YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS DOES THAT.

I KNOW IT'S JUST VERBAL AT THIS POINT, BUT DOES THAT HELP? YOU KNOW WHAT? NORMALLY I WOULD SAY YES, BUT BUT NO.

OKAY. BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY FRUSTRATING.

YEAH. WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR ALMOST FOUR YEARS, AND THIS IS WHERE WE ARE.

AND SO IT'S IT'S NOT FAIR TO A COMMUNITY.

AND IT'S NOT JUST BECAUSE I WORK, YOU KNOW, THAT I VOLUNTEER THERE.

BUT IT'S NOT FAIR TO A COMMUNITY THAT HAS BEEN WAITING, WORKING, WAITING FOR, FOR YEARS.

AND WHEN YOU HEAR ALL THE OTHER STUFF THAT THAT'S GETTING DONE AND GETTING DONE LIKE THAT.

[04:00:05]

I DON'T WANT TO SOUND LIKE SOUR GRAPES, BUT I THINK I'VE BEEN REALLY, REALLY PATIENT AS THE VOLUNTEER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, AND I TRY AND KEEP MY TWO HATS SEPARATE.

BUT BUT BUT THIS IS FRUSTRATING.

CITY MANAGER AND I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW, NORMALLY I WOULDN'T GO HERE, BUT THIS THIS IS THIS IS REALLY BAD.

AND THAT'S THE COMMUNITY THAT HAS BEEN PROMISED SO MANY THINGS FOR SO LONG, AND THEY ALWAYS GET PUT ON THE BACK BURNER.

AND SO IT'S JUST NOT APPROPRIATE TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT.

THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

YOUR FRUSTRATION IS DEFINITELY NOTED AND WARRANTED.

AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THINGS ARE MOVING FORWARD.

I KNOW FOUR YEARS IS A LONG TIME BUT WE WILL BE DILIGENT IN SEEING THIS THROUGH.

AND I THINK ALSO ALONG WITH THAT, WE WILL BE DILIGENT IN MAKING SURE THAT SOUTHSIDE HAS AN IDEA OF WHAT'S HAPPENING BEFORE IT MATERIALIZES. IT WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE, BECAUSE I'VE HEARD LOTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS, AND SO HAVING A PICTURE TO TO SHARE WITH THE COMMUNITY WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE.

THANK YOU FOR TUNING.

BUT. ALL RIGHT, SO, AMY, I THINK WE'RE.

BEHIND ON TIME. I CAN GO FIRST.

WHOO! GOING INTO SOME OF THE FUTURE YEARS FOR RECREATION IN THAT PONDEROSA PARK RECONSTRUCTION WE TALKED ABOUT, THAT'S NOT OCCURRING THIS FISCAL YEAR, HOPEFULLY INTO NEXT.

HOW JENSEN RECREATION CENTER.

WE'RE GOING TO PUT AIR CONDITIONING IN THE GYM.

THAT SEEMS LIKE A SMART IDEA, RIGHT? IF ANYONE'S EVER EXPERIENCED THAT.

SO THAT'S A FUTURE PROJECT.

THERE'S $200,000 FOR THORPE PARK.

TO FURTHER THAT MITIGATION WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AND RECREATION AND WHATEVER ELSE WE COULD DO FOR THE ECC.

AND THEN THAT'S THE REST OF THE FUNDING FOR WEST PARK CONSTRUCTION, SINCE WE'RE DOING THE DESIGN OUTREACH AND MAYBE SOME SITE WORK RIGHT NOW.

KEEP CRUISING.

FUTURE YEARS.

CHESHIRE PARK EXPANSION.

THAT'S ABOUT EIGHT ACRES.

THAT'S TO THE CON OF THE NORTH OF CURRENT CHESHIRE PARK.

UP AGAINST 180 AND NORTHERN ARIZONA MUSEUM.

IT'S $1 MILLION THAT PROS HAS EARMARKED FOR THAT, AS WELL AS A PARTNER AT THE TABLE.

THE IDEA THERE IS A RUNNING TRACK AND WHAT FITS EXACTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF A RUNNING TRACK, A NICE BIG MULTI-PURPOSE FIELD SO WE COULD START TO IMPACT A LOT OF OUR ATHLETIC USER GROUPS, ESPECIALLY THE YOUTH IN TOWN WITH THAT TYPE OF A PROJECT.

FUTURE YEARS. CONTINENTAL PARK EXPANSION.

SO THEN THERE'S EXISTING CONTINENTAL PARK WHERE THERE ARE FIVE BALL FIELDS.

THERE'S ONE ONE SOFTBALL FOR BASEBALL LITTLE LEAGUE.

THIS IS THE EXPANSION TO THE NORTH, AND $3 MILLION OVER TWO FISCAL YEARS.

$3 MILLION IS NOT GOING TO GET US THE SOFTBALL COMPLEX THAT'S IDENTIFIED TO GO HERE, BUT IT'S GOING TO GET US A START.

WHETHER IF WE CAN FIND A PARTNERSHIP, A P3, A P2 GRANTS, YOU NAME IT, WE'RE GOING TO GO AFTER IT BECAUSE WE NEED A SOFTBALL COMPLEX FOR OUR GIRLS SOFTBALL YOUTH IN TOWN.

SO THAT'S WHAT THAT IS FOR.

BOOM. HOW IS THAT JOANNE? WAS THAT GOOD? GREAT.

OKAY. GOOD. WELCOME.

THANK YOU. YEP. ANY QUESTIONS ON ANYTHING.

PROS WITH ANY.

GREAT. THANK YOU EVERYBODY.

TO OUR ENTERPRISE FUNDS AND START WITH THE AIRPORT.

RYAN GAUL.

MIHALY. PARTICULAR.

AND DUE TO.

LET'S WIPE THAT PLUG NOW.

JUST. YOU MEAN EVERYBODY? I'M BRIAN GAUL, DIRECTOR OF THE FLAGSTAFF AIRPORT.

AND WITH ME TODAY IS ADAM YARDLEY, AIRPORT PROGRAMS MANAGER.

AND WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING OVER THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS FOR THE FLAGSTAFF AIRPORT, INCLUDING STARTING OFF WITH A LOOK EXACTLY.

ACTUALLY, WE'RE GOING TO START OFF WITH A LITTLE BIT OF A LOOK BACKWARDS AT SOME OF OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR.

SO SINCE WE SPOKE ABOUT THIS LAST, WE HAVE OPENED OUR NEW ECONOMY PARKING LOT.

SO THAT PARKING LOT ADDS ABOUT 414 PARKING SPACES TO THE FLAGSTAFF AIRPORT.

IF ANYBODY'S BEEN OUT THERE, YOU'VE SEEN THEY'RE CONNECTED TO THE TERMINAL WITH A TEN FOOT SIDEWALK THAT HAS AN AWESOME FENCE THAT JANICE TEAM HELPED US GET INSTALLED WHICH WE'VE BEEN GETTING REALLY GOOD REVIEWS ABOUT.

AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, IN COORDINATION WITH THAT EFFORT, WE INSTALLED AND IS NOW OPERATIONAL, OUR NEW PAID PARKING SYSTEM.

[04:05:01]

SO IT WAS RETROFIT INTO OUR OLDER FACILITY AS WELL.

SO THAT SYSTEM WENT LIVE ABOUT MIDDLE OF JULY LAST YEAR.

SO WE'RE COMING UP ON SOME NEARING A YEAR APPROACHING THAT SYSTEM.

AND I DO HAVE SOME FUN FACTS TO SHARE FOR THAT.

THANKS, ADAM, FOR THE SUGGESTION TO ADD SOME OF THESE TODAY.

SO THESE ARE THROUGH THE END OF JANUARY.

THE FIRST COOL THING THAT WE NOTICED IS WHEN WE COUNTED TOTAL ENTRANCES THROUGH THE NEW PARKING EQUIPMENT, IT WAS EXACTLY 20,000.

SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ODDS ARE TO GET THAT CLOSE TO A NICE ROUND NUMBER.

EXACTLY 20,000. YEP.

PARKING ENTRANCES BETWEEN MIDDLE OF JULY TO END OF JANUARY THIS YEAR.

WE'RE SEEING ABOUT 2800 PARKING ENTRANCES PER MONTH, SO A LITTLE LESS THAN 100 A DAY OR SO.

AND TO DATE, WE'VE SEEN ABOUT $300,000 IN REVENUE FROM THAT PARKING SYSTEM.

SO THAT'S REALLY AWESOME.

RIGHT NOW, THAT'S GOING TO PAY BACK THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ORIGINAL PARKING LOT.

SO FOR A FEW YEARS THAT MONEY IS EARMARKED.

BUT IN TERMS OF LONG TERM SUPPORT FOR THE AIRPORT ENTERPRISE FUND, THAT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO.

THAT BRINGS UP A CONVERSATION ABOUT THE AIRPORT FUND ITSELF.

THAT WAS MARTY TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, THE AIRPORTS AND ENTERPRISE FUND.

AND THE FUNDING COMES FROM A VARIETY OF SOURCES FOR THAT.

SO AIRPORTS ARE PRIMARILY FUNDED THROUGH REVENUE, THROUGH OUR LEASES, THROUGH OUR PARKING FEES THROUGH RENTS FROM OUR HANGAR AND OTHER STORAGE SPACES, WE GET LANDING FEES FOR CERTAIN COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT.

ALL OF THAT IS USED TO SUPPORT THAT AIRPORT ENTERPRISE FUND.

SO WITHIN THAT, WE HAVE THE AIRPORT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

SO AT AIRPORTS, THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM IS A FIVE YEAR PROGRAM THAT'S DEVELOPED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN.

SO AS AN AIRPORT, WE FALL UNDER NOT JUST THE CITY JURISDICTION, BUT WE ALSO HAVE A NUMBER OF FEDERAL AND STATE REGULATIONS THAT WE ALSO HAVE TO COMPLY WITH, INCLUDING A LOT OF REGULATIONS AND GUIDANCE FOR DEVELOPMENT OF AIRPORT FACILITIES.

AND THE BIG PART OF THAT IS BECAUSE WE'VE ACCEPTED FEDERAL DOLLARS FOR GRANTS TO BUILD THE FACILITIES WE HAVE NOW.

SO WHEN YOU ACCEPT THOSE AND YOU BECOME A PUBLIC USE AIRPORT, THEY BASICALLY GIVE YOU A SERIES OF MANUALS TO GO BY THAT SORT OF DICTATE THE FUTURE GROWTH OF AIRPORTS.

SO OUR AIRPORT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN IS DEVELOPED IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR AIRPORT MASTER PLAN.

LIKE I SAID, THAT PLAN IS DONE ABOUT EVERY TEN YEARS.

OUR LAST UPDATE WAS IN 2018.

SO WE DO HERE IN A FEW YEARS.

SOMETIMES THEY DO GO A LITTLE BIT LONGER THAN TEN.

SO THAT IS ON THE PLAN ON OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN TO FUND A FEW YEARS OUT FROM NOW.

SO OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN IS DONE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION AND THE ADOT OR ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AERONAUTICS DIVISION.

SO THEY REVIEW OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN.

THEY HAVE TO SIGN OFF ON THE PROJECTS THAT WE APPLY FOR EVERY YEAR.

NOW, THAT REALLY RELATES TO THE PROJECTS THAT ARE EITHER FEDERALLY FUNDED OR STATE FUNDED OR A MIXTURE OF BOTH.

SO THE FUNDING STRUCTURES FOR MOST OF THE PROJECTS WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT TODAY ARE YOUR FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL.

SO A PORTION FUNDED BY THE FAA, A PORTION FUNDED BY ADOT, WITH THE REMAINDER FROM THE CITY OR STATE LOCAL, WHERE IT'S STARTED BY THE STATE WITH A MATCHING PORTION FROM THE CITY, OR IT'S SOME LOCAL PROJECTS, FOR EXAMPLE, THE PARKING LOT AND THE PAID PARKING SYSTEM WERE LOCALLY FUNDED BECAUSE THEY'RE REVENUE GENERATING, THEY'RE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR SOME OF THOSE FEDERAL GRANTS. PROJECTS AND PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR AIRPORT COMMISSION FOR FEEDBACK.

AND OF COURSE, THERE ARE ALWAYS THE OCCASIONAL EMERGENCY PROCUREMENT THAT WE MIGHT NEED TO GO THROUGH FOR SOME SORT OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AS WELL.

SO I MENTIONED THE FUNDING SOURCE THAT WE GET WITH WITH THOSE FEDERAL PROJECTS.

SO WITHIN THE FEDERAL UMBRELLA, THERE'S A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT GRANTS THAT FUND AIRPORTS.

THE FIRST IS FAA ENTITLEMENTS AND DISCRETIONARY.

SO ENTITLEMENTS BEING WE RECEIVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY BASED ON THE NUMBER OF PASSENGERS WE HAVE ANNUALLY.

SO THAT IS SORT OF OURS TO ASSIGN AS LONG AS IT'S ASSIGNED TO A PROJECT THAT IS APPROVED BY THE FAA.

WE ALSO ASK FOR DISCRETIONARY FUNDING.

IF THERE'S EVER A CASE WHERE OUR ENTITLEMENT FUNDING IS NOT ENOUGH TO COVER THE FULL COST OF A PROJECT THAT'S APPLICABLE IN ONE OF THE PROJECTS ADAM'S GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT IN A LITTLE BIT, WHICH IS OUR SNOW REMOVAL EQUIPMENT BUILDING.

WE ALSO HAVE THE FAA CARES GRANTS.

THAT'S NOT STRICTLY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS.

WE'RE USING THOSE FOR MAINTENANCE FUNDING, BUT IT IS ONE OF OUR FUNDING SOURCES FOR SOME OF OUR IMPROVEMENTS AT THE AIRPORT RIGHT NOW, THAT IS 100% FEDERALLY FUNDED.

AND WE ALSO HAVE THE FAA BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE LAW IN THAT CASE.

THAT'S ANOTHER GRANT PROGRAM THAT WE'RE GETTING BASED ON THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYMENTS WE HAVE AT THE AIRPORT RIGHT NOW.

THE FUNDING FOR THAT IS ALSO GOING TOWARD THAT SNOW REMOVAL BUILDING.

AND THEN ANOTHER FUNDING SOURCE THAT WE HAVE ACCESS TO IS PASSENGER FACILITY CHARGES.

SO AIRPORTS HAVE THE ABILITY TO CHARGE TO ADD A FEE ONTO AIRLINE TICKETS, UP TO $4.50 TO APPLY TO PROJECTS.

IN THIS CASE, WE GENERALLY USE OUR PASSENGER FACILITY FUND CHARGES FOR OUR MATCHING PORTION OF THOSE STATE AND LOCAL GRANTS.

WE TALKED ABOUT. AND ONE THING TO NOTE ABOUT PASSENGER FACILITY CHARGES IS THAT THEY HAVE TO BE APPROVED NOT ONLY BY THE FAA FOR THE MEANING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO AN APPROVED PROJECT, BUT THE AIRLINE THAT WE'RE COLLECTING THE FEES THROUGH ALSO HAVE TO SIGN OFF ON THE PROJECT.

SO IT'S BASICALLY USED FOR PROJECTS THAT ARE FOR INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS SUPPORTING THOSE AIRLINE OPERATIONS.

AND WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO ADAM TO START OFF THE DISCUSSION WITH OUR SNOW REMOVAL BUILDING.

[04:10:03]

COUNCIL ACADEMY IS INDICATED ON THE AIRPORT PROGRAM MANAGER AND I GET STARTED OFF WITH A FUN PROJECT.

MOST OF YOU HAVE SEEN A LOT OF INFORMATION REGARDING THIS PARTICULAR FACILITY.

IT'S MUCH NEEDED SUPPORT, VERY, VERY HIGH WITH OUR BOTH FEDERAL AND STATE PARTNERS.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR SOME TIME RIGHT NOW THROUGH THE DESIGN.

CURRENTLY, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS A 25,000 SQUARE FOOT BARN, IF YOU WILL.

AND I'LL HAVE SIX PULL THROUGH BAYS.

AND THE KEY PART IS, IF YOU NOTICE THE ILLUSTRATION, THE LOWER END CORNER, THAT'S KIND OF WHAT THE THE LAYOUT WOULD LOOK LIKE ON THAT FAR LEFT SIDE IS THAT IS GOING TO BE A MAINTENANCE BAY.

WE CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE A WAY TO MAINTENANCE.

A LOT OF THE OUR VEHICLES, MANY OF YOU KNOW THAT THEY'RE NOT SMALL PIECES OF EQUIPMENT.

SO OPENING THEM AND BRINGING THEM THROUGH THE GATE TO BRING OVER HERE TO FLEET TO GET WORK DONE DOESN'T REALLY WORK OUT VERY WELL ESPECIALLY WITH SOME OF THE PLOW EQUIPMENT.

SO THE FAA GAVE US THE GREEN LIGHT TO GO AHEAD AND GET A MAINTENANCE BAY IN THERE AS WELL.

SO WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO NOW NOT ONLY MAINTAIN OUR SNOW EQUIPMENT, BUT ALSO OUR FIREFIGHTING EQUIPMENT AS WELL.

THIS PARTICULAR NEW STRUCTURE IS GOING TO BE LOCATED BETWEEN THE FIRE STATION AND THE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWER.

VERY INTERESTING IN THAT IT WILL HAVE GREAT PROXIMITY.

WE LOOKED AT ALTERNATE SITES, BUT THIS IS THE ONE WE SELECTED ON.

I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT JUST TO NOTE THAT THIS PARTICULAR STRUCTURE WILL HAVE NO GAS.

THIS WILL BE FULLY ELECTRIC.

AGAIN, WE WORK WITH OUR FAA PARTNERS.

WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING THE HIGH PERFORMANCE GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS.

FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT, IT WILL BE ALL ELECTRIC.

I KNOW WHERE WE ARE CURRENTLY ON THIS PROJECT.

AS WE PULLED TOGETHER OUR SOLICITATION FOR OUR CMA.

WE APPLIED WITH THE FEDERAL AVIATION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH AN ALTERNATIVE DELIVERY SYSTEM.

SO THE CMA AND SO THEY LOOKED AT IT AND THEY GAVE US THE GREEN LIGHT TO GO MOVE FORWARD.

SO WE'VE PULLED TOGETHER OUR SOLICITATION PACKAGE FAA HAS REVIEWED IT.

WE DID THEIR COMMENTS AND IT'S GETTING READY TO POST HERE NEXT WEEK.

WE'RE REAL EXCITED. THAT'S THE NEXT PIECE WE NEED TO THIS PUZZLE IS TO GET OUR CMA ON BOARD.

ONCE WE DO AND WE GET OUR GMP THAT ALSO HELP US, BRIAN INDICATED WITH OUR DISCRETIONARY FUNDING SO WE DO HAVE A GAP.

THE FAA IS AWARE OF THAT, AND THEY'RE GOING TO DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO HELP US OUT.

AND I WANT TO COMMEND LEADERSHIP FOR ALSO HELPING US AT CAPITAL AS WELL, AND TRYING TO PUSH THIS FORWARD.

I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. THIS IS A MUCH, MUCH, MUCH MORE TIME, MUCH NEEDED PIECE PIECE OF INFRASTRUCTURE.

HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET ALL ONCE THIS IS DONE.

WE DO HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL PURCHASES THAT WE NEED TO DO THROUGH THE FAA.

WE HAVE TO HAVE A MINIMUM NUMBER OF PIECES OF EQUIPMENT, AND CURRENTLY WE CAN'T MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE NOWHERE TO HOUSE IT.

SO THIS WILL HELP FACILITATE THAT, GET US BACK UP TO WHERE WE NEED TO BE AND MOVE ON.

ANY QUESTIONS? NEXT WE HAVE OUR LAND ACQUISITION.

STACEY HAS BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.

I'LL JUST SAY LOOSELY, THIS IS A REALLY IMPORTANT PROJECT.

THE FAA ENCOURAGES MUNICIPALITIES LIKE US TO OWN LAND OR HAVE CONTROL OVER ANY AREAS THAT ARE OUTSIDE THAT RUNWAY PROTECTION ZONE.

SO AN AREA LEADING UP TO AND FOLLOWING OUT OF YOUR RUNWAY.

SO WE NEED TO KIND OF CONTROL THAT SO WE DON'T HAVE.

IN AND OUT AT THE END OF A RUNWAY, FOR EXAMPLE.

BAD EXAMPLE. BUT WE ENCOURAGE US TO GET THE CARS IN A SECOND.

THEY ENCOURAGE US TO DO WHAT WE CAN TO TRY TO CONTROL THAT.

SO WE ARE SURROUNDED BY ON MOST SIDES WITH THE US FOREST SERVICE.

SO WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM TO SEE IF WE CAN PURCHASE THAT LAND.

THE CONVERSATIONS THUS FAR HAS BEEN VERY, VERY GOOD.

IT'S MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

WE ARE WORKING.

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE STATE FUNDED.

SO A-DOT DID GIVE US A GRANT OF APPROXIMATELY 2.8 MILLION.

WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR PARTNERS, AND IN DOING SO WE YOU'LL NOTICE THERE'S THE J.W.

POWELL KIND OF ILLUSTRATED ON THERE.

IT'S NOT PART OF THIS PURCHASE, BUT WHAT WE WANTED TO DO IS BRING ALL PARTIES TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO BE HAVING THE CONVERSATION WITH THE SAME PEOPLE HERE IN THE NEXT 2 TO 3 YEARS.

SO THE J.W.

POWELL IS AT THE BLUE LINE RUNNING.

MY PARALLEL TO THE.

YES, MA'AM. AND IS THE PURPLE SHADED AREA.

IS THAT WHERE THE FORESTRY OFFICES AND ENTRANCE THERE.

[04:15:03]

CURRENTLY WE'RE IN THE APPRAISAL PORTION OF THIS.

WE COULD GET HER ON APPRAISAL, BUT FOREST SERVICE, THEY'RE GOING TO DO THEIR OWN.

SO THEY'RE CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH THOSE PROCESSES INSIDE THEIR OWN DEPARTMENTS TO GET THAT APPRAISAL.

SO THAT'LL BE MOVING FORWARD FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.

BUT WE'RE WE ARE MOVING FORWARD.

AND A VERY PROGRESSIVE WAY ON THIS PROJECT ARE STEADFAST WAYS FAST AS WE CAN.

JUST ANOTHER CLARIFICATION.

CLARIFICATION QUESTION.

J.W. POWELL I WALKED THAT ROAD A LOT.

YOU'VE GOT THE RUNWAY AND THEN A DIRT ROAD, AND THEN YOU'VE GOT QUITE A BIG EMBANKMENT UP TO SOME TREES AND STUFF.

SO WHERE WOULD THE J.W.

POWELL EXTENSION GO THROUGH THERE IS THAT? NEXT TO THE RUNWAY OR WILL THEY HAVE TO BE MOVING DIRT? I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR MY FRIENDS OVER IN ENGINEERING, BUT I BELIEVE THAT ALIGNMENT WE'RE SHOWING HERE IS JUST A A CONCEPT.

THE FINAL ALIGNMENT. I DON'T THINK THEY'VE EVEN WORKED ANYWHERE NEAR THAT.

THIS WAS AN ALIGNMENT THAT WAS ESTABLISHED BACK IN 2010 WHEN WE DID THE RUNWAY EXTENSION PROJECT.

SO SOMEWHERE AROUND THERE.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT IF THAT WAS GOING TO BE THE ULTIMATE ALIGNMENT.

WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE AS FAR AS THE CITY AND THE FOREST SERVICE, AND WOULD THEY BE WILLING TO ALSO WORK WITH RELEASING SOME OF THAT LAND AS WELL? SO THAT'S THE REASON WHY I WENT AHEAD AND PUT THAT ON.

THERE WAS JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT FROM MULTIPLE ANGLES.

I WAS JUST CURIOUS BECAUSE I'M ASSUMING THERE HAS TO BE SOME.

SOME DISTANCE BETWEEN THE RAISED RUNWAY AND A ARTERY MAIN ARTERY ROAD.

AND I WOULD SAY SO.

I MEAN, I'M NOT GOING TO SPEAK FOR ENGINEERING, BUT I BELIEVE THEY'RE STILL LOOKING AT I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S BEEN ADVERTISED OR WHAT THAT FINAL ALIGNMENT ULTIMATELY WILL BE, WILL LOOK LIKE. SO THAT'S WHY WE DID KIND OF A WIDE SWATH THROUGH THERE.

THANK YOU. MORE INFORMATION FROM TREVOR COMING SOON, I HOPE.

TREVOR. TREVOR, WOULD YOU LIKE TO CHIME IN ON THIS? YES, SIR. WELL, HE'S WALKING UP HERE WITH ONE ADDITIONAL PIECE OF CONTEXT.

COUNCIL MEMBER MATTHEWS BROUGHT UP A GREAT POINT THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SOME SOME AIRPORT RELATED REGULATIONS ABOUT THE SEPARATION BETWEEN, SAY, ROADWAYS AND AIRPORT INFRASTRUCTURE LIKE RUNWAYS.

SO THE THE REALLY SHORT ANSWER IS IT DEPENDS.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT THE GRADE DIFFERENCE THERE WHERE THE RUNWAY IS A LOT HIGHER.

SO YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH A LITTLE BIT MORE DOWN LOW RELATIVE TO THE RUNWAY VERSUS WHEN SOMETHING IS HIGHER AND ADJACENT TO A RUNWAY.

SO THERE'S A PROCESS WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH TO ANALYZE THE AIRSPACE FOR ANY NEW INFRASTRUCTURE THAT GOES IN, THAT'S STOPLIGHTS, STREET STREETLIGHTS, POWER POLES, ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF WOULD HAVE TO BE ANALYZED AS WELL AS IT'S NOT A CONSTANT SHAPE.

SO WHAT ADAM TALKED ABOUT WAS THE RUNWAY PROTECTION ZONE.

IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE HARD TO SEE, BUT THAT'S A TRAPEZOID OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY.

IT GETS WIDER THE FURTHER AWAY YOU ARE.

SO THEY GENERALLY DISCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT OF ANY SORT IN THERE.

AND THAT INCLUDES ROADWAYS IN MOST CASES.

BUT THEY YOU CAN GET EXCEPTIONS.

SO ONE OF THE REASONS WE WANTED TO BRING THIS UP EARLY IN THE PROCESS SO THAT OUR CAPITAL TEAM, OUR ENGINEERING TEAM, COULD GET IN CONTACT WITH BOTH THE FAA AND THE FOREST SERVICE.

SINCE THIS IS KIND OF A THREE PARTY DISCUSSION THAT'S GOING ON TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY'S ON BOARD WITH WHAT THAT ALIGNMENT WILL BE.

SO THIS IS VERY EARLY IN THE PROCESS, BUT WE HAVE BROUGHT THAT UP TO THE FAA.

AND THERE WAS A MEETING A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WHERE THEY'RE STARTING TO FIGURE OUT IS THAT CAPITAL RIGHT NOW? I MEAN, IF YOU WERE TO CROSS THE STREET INTO THE OTHER SIDE OF LAKE MARY, IT'S RIGHT TO THE TO THE RUNWAY.

YEAH. AND IT'S ACTUALLY SO THE INTERSECTION ITSELF IS JUST OUTSIDE OF OUR RUNWAY PROTECTION ZONE.

IT ENDS RIGHT BEFORE YOU GET THERE.

SO THE QUESTION IS SORT OF, CAN WE SWING WIDE ENOUGH TO AVOID THE WHOLE THING, OR DOES IT HAVE TO CUT THROUGH A LITTLE CORNER OF IT WHERE WE MIGHT HAVE TO GET SOME SORT OF WAIVER FROM THE FAA? AND SO THAT'S THE CONVERSATION.

THAT'S I THINK JUST NOW GETTING STARTED.

AND MAYBE TREVOR CAN ADD SOME ADDITIONAL DETAILS TO THAT.

YEAH. SO THE THE LINE THAT'S DRAWN ON THE MAP THERE IS PART OF THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

SO THAT DOCUMENT WAY BACK WHEN WAS CREATED.

SO GWP WAS GOING TO COME OFF I-17 GO TO THE EAST CROSS LAKE MARY CONNECT UP TO BUTLER FORTH.

SO AT THAT TIME THAT'S KIND OF THE BEST CASE SCENARIO FOR WHAT WE THOUGHT GWP WOULD LOOK LIKE.

BUT AS ADAM AND BRIAN MENTIONED, THERE'S A LOT OF DISCUSSION THAT HAS TO GO ON WITH THE FAA, WITH THAT PROTECTION ZONE, ALSO WITH THE FOREST SERVICE, BECAUSE THERE'S SOME LAND THERE THAT WE HAVE TO ACQUIRE.

AND IN A PERFECT WORLD WHERE LAKE MARY AND GWP CROSS, IT WOULD BE GREAT FOR A FOUR LANE INTERSECTION.

AND THAT'S KIND OF WHERE IT WAS DRAWN.

AND THEY KIND OF GO BACK A LITTLE BIT TO THE WEST AND THEN DOWN INTO WHERE IT CONNECTS THEM TO WHERE GWP CURRENTLY ENDS BY THE AIRPORT.

SO THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFECT.

[04:20:02]

THAT'S KIND OF WHERE IT JUST SHOWS UP.

SO WE STILL NEED TO VET THE IDEAS AND, AND GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S IN THE RIGHT LOCATION.

THE. IF.

THIS TIME I'M GOING TO TURN IT BACK OVER TO BRIAN REAL QUICK TO TALK ABOUT OUR TAXIWAY, WHISKEY RELOCATION AND APRON.

SURE. THANKS, ADAM. SO THE PROJECTS THAT ADAM JUST TALKED ABOUT ARE KIND OF OUR CURRENT YEAR EFFORTS, RIGHT? SO THE LAND ACQUISITION IS ONGOING RIGHT NOW.

SO IS THE DESIGN.

AND HOPEFULLY GETTING A CONTRACTOR ON BOARD FOR THE SNOW REMOVAL EQUIPMENT BUILDING.

THIS IS KIND OF OUR NEXT PHASE.

SO THE PROJECTS THAT WE'RE IN THE PLANNING FOR RIGHT NOW, WE'RE PLANNING ON DESIGN IN FISCAL YEAR 25 WITH CONSTRUCTION FOLLOWING AND MAYBE FISCAL YEAR 26 OR 27, DEPENDING ON FEDERAL FUNDING AVAILABILITY.

SO AS ADAM MENTIONED, THIS IS A PROJECT TO RELOCATE A TAXIWAY.

TAXIWAY. SO YOU'LL SEE DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE AIRPORT TERMINAL, YOU CAN SEE THE ASPHALT LINE THAT RUNS KIND OF STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN ON THE MAP.

THAT'S WHAT WE CALL TAXIWAY WHISKEY.

IT'S WHERE AIRCRAFT GET FROM THE RUNWAY BACK TO OUR PRIVATE SMALLER HANGARS AND AIRCRAFT PARKING SHADES.

THE FAA CHANGED THE RULES AFTER THIS PIECE OF PAVEMENT WAS BUILT FOR SAFETY PURPOSES.

WHERE NOW IT'S PROHIBITED TO HAVE DIRECT ACCESS FROM AN AIRCRAFT PARKING AREA TO A RUNWAY.

AND THE REASON WAS THEY WANT TO ADD A COUPLE 90 DEGREE TURNS TO MAKE SURE THE PILOTS AREN'T, YOU KNOW, AT THEIR CHECKLIST AND, YOU KNOW, KEEPING THEIR HEAD IN THE COCKPIT AND MAYBE JUST KIND OF CRUISING PAST THE STOP BARS TO LEAD TO THE RUNWAY.

WHICH IS A PROBLEM THAT WE'VE SEEN REPORTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY FORTUNATELY A LITTLE BIT LESS SO.

AND FLAGSTAFF PARTIALLY IN DUE PARTIALLY DUE TO OUR ORIENTATION AND HAVING A SINGLE RUNWAY, IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE APPARENT VERSUS AN AIRPORT WHERE YOU MIGHT BE CROSSING 3 OR 4 TAXIWAYS AND RUNWAYS TO GET TO THE ONE YOU'RE ULTIMATELY GOING TO.

YOU KIND OF LOSE TRACK OF WHERE YOU ARE ON THE AIRFIELD, ESPECIALLY IN INCLEMENT WEATHER.

SO LIKE I SAID, FOR US IT HASN'T BEEN MUCH OF AN ISSUE, BUT THE STANDARD STILL APPLIES.

SO THIS PROJECT IS ADAM MENTIONED SCORES PRETTY HIGHLY ON THE FEDERAL FUNDING BECAUSE IT IS FOR SAFETY PURPOSES.

THE IDEA IS TO SHIFT THAT TAXI LANE OVER TO THE WEST, WHERE THAT RED LINE IS SHOWN, AND MAKE THOSE 90 DEGREE TURNS REQUIRED TO GET THERE.

THE OTHER ADVANTAGE OF THAT IS IT WIDENS OUR COMMERCIAL APRON, SO IT GIVES US MORE PLACE FOR THOSE COMMERCIAL FLIGHTS TO PARK AND FACILITATES POSSIBLE TERMINAL EXPANSION IN THE FUTURE. SO THIS IS KIND OF AN ENABLING PROJECT THAT'S GOING TO PUT THE AIRPORT INTO BETTER POSITION.

WHEN WE DO START TO SEE SOME INCREASED TERMINAL OR COMMERCIAL TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY IF IT RELATES TO LARGER AIRCRAFT.

LIKE I SAID, THIS PROJECTS A LITTLE BIT FURTHER OUT, BUT THE SCOPE IS GENERALLY KNOWN IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR MASTER PLAN.

THIS IS ACTUALLY A SCREENSHOT OUT OF OUR MASTER PLAN.

SO IT KIND OF GIVES A GOOD INDICATION OF WHERE WE EXPECT THAT PROJECT TO GO IN A COUPLE YEARS.

I'LL TURN IT BACK OVER TO ADAM FOR ANOTHER PROJECT ABOUT OUR RUNWAY.

LAST ONE. FUN PICTURE.

BRIAN PUT THIS IN FOR ME.

JUST TO KIND OF. OUR RUNWAYS 8800FT LONG AND 100FT 150FT WIDE.

SO JUST FOR CONTEXT, THAT'S THAT'S A CAR IN FRONT OF THAT THREE.

THAT'S RUNWAY THREE.

JUST SO I CAN I LIKE THIS PICTURE BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU PERSPECTIVE OF THE SIZE.

THE REASON WHY WE ARE WE'VE IDENTIFIED THIS WITH OUR FRIENDS IS THE FAA HAS RECENTLY CHANGED THE METHODOLOGY FOR WHICH THEY ANALYZE.

THE STRUCTURAL CAPACITY OF YOUR RUNWAY.

THEY'VE KIND OF TURNED IT UPSIDE DOWN A LITTLE BIT.

THERE'S NOT A 1 TO 1 RATIO.

SO WHEN WE GET A CALL SAY MILITARY FLIGHT WANTS TO COME IN, A C-17 WANTS TO COME IN.

IT'S GOT A WHOLE BUNCH OF STUFF IN IT.

JUST WANTS TO DO SOME TOUCH AND GOES AND THEN STOP AND GET SOME FUEL.

BUT WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT AND ANALYZE THAT TO SEE IF OUR RUNWAY HAS THE CAPACITY TO HOLD THAT TYPE OF LOAD.

SO BECAUSE THE FAA HAS CHANGED KIND OF.

WAY THAT THEY ANALYZE THAT AND THE WAY THAT WE CAN RESPOND BACK TO THOSE, WHETHER IT'S AN AGENCY OR.

PRIVATE OWNER, IF YOU WILL.

WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO KIND OF GET CAUGHT BACK UP.

SO WHAT THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT WILL ALLOW US TO DO IS GO OUT AND TAKE CORE SAMPLES OF THE RUNWAY AND BE ABLE TO CORRELATE THAT TO THE NEW STANDARDS.

THIS RUNWAY HAS SEEN A LOT OF PROJECTS OVER THE YEARS AS FAR AS EXTENSIONS.

WE DID SOME WIDENING, DID SOME SHOULDERING.

WE NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AND SEE WHAT THOSE NUMBERS COME BACK.

SO THAT WAY WE DON'T CREATE A BIGGER PROBLEM BY ALLOWING AIRCRAFT THAT'S OVERWEIGHT COME IN AND DAMAGE IT.

SO THIS PROJECT WILL ALLOW US TO NOT ONLY GET TO THE NEW FAA STANDARD, BUT ALSO SUPPORT US IN THOSE CALLS THAT BRIAN HAS TO MAKE ON A DAILY BASIS.

AND WHETHER OR NOT WE CAN HAVE PIECES OF EQUIPMENT COME IN.

SO THE PROJECT IS, IN A NUTSHELL, JUST A DIVINE SIDE PROJECT.

[04:25:04]

IT'S NOT CURRENTLY IN OUR CIP, BUT IT WOULD SCORE VERY HIGH CONSIDERING THE NEW REQUIREMENT FROM THE FAA.

AND I BELIEVE THAT'S ALL WE HAVE HERE AT THE AIRPORT.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE WE LEAVE? I'M ALWAYS GOING TO ASK YOU THIS QUESTION.

ARE YOU ANY CLOSER TO GETTING ANOTHER AIRLINE? WE'RE WORKING REALLY HARD ON IT.

SO CLAIRE HARPER, OUR AIRPORT COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER, HAS BEEN ATTENDING ALMOST QUARTERLY CONFERENCES.

THE ROUND TABLE CONFERENCES WHERE SHE CAN MEET WITH DIFFERENT AIR CARRIERS AND AIR AIRPORTS THAT HAVE HAD SUCCESSFUL INTERACTIONS WITH AIR CARRIERS TO SHARE BEST PRACTICES, FIND OUT THE DIRECTION THE INDUSTRY IS GOING SO WE CAN TAILOR WHAT WE CAN OFFER TO THOSE CARRIERS TO MATCH THAT.

SO WE ARE GOING TO KIND OF BIG ONE OF THOSE CONFERENCES IS THIS SUMMER.

SO WE'RE PLANNING ON ATTENDING THAT IN MAY.

WE REQUESTED MEETINGS WITH NINE DIFFERENT AIRLINES.

SO WE'LL SEE WHICH ONES ACCEPT.

SO WE WE REQUEST MEETINGS WITH A FAIRLY LONG LIST.

LAST YEAR WE MET WITH THREE.

WE'RE HOPEFUL TO GET A LITTLE BIT HIGHER NUMBER THAN THAT THIS YEAR.

WE'RE ALSO WORKING RIGHT NOW AT CLAIRE'S, WORKING REALLY HARD ON AN UPDATED AIR CARRIER INCENTIVE POLICY.

SO COUNCIL ADOPTED AN AIR CARRIER INCENTIVE POLICY.

I THINK IT WAS IN 2018 OR 2019 THAT SHOWED SOME OF WHAT WE COULD OFFER TO PROSPECTIVE AIR CARRIERS.

SO THAT'S THINGS LIKE POTENTIAL RENT REDUCTION OR WAIVING OF LANDING FEES OR SOME OTHER FEES THEY MIGHT PAY TO THE AIRPORT FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME TO ENCOURAGE NEW AIR CARRIERS.

BUT THE FAA STANDARDS THAT GOVERN THOSE HAVE CHANGED A LITTLE BIT SINCE THEN.

AND WE'VE SEEN THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY CHANGE.

SO ONE OF THE BIG THINGS WE'VE SEEN IS WHAT THEY CALL UP GAUGING WHEN WE'RE STARTING TO SEE FEWER FLIGHTS WITH LARGER AIRCRAFT.

OFTENTIMES CARRIERS WILL WANT TO COME IN LESS THAN DAILY.

THEY MIGHT WANT TO COME IN THREE TIMES A WEEK TO CERTAIN DESTINATIONS, ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE MORE RECREATION OR TOURISM BASED THAN BUSINESS TRAVEL.

SO WE'RE RIGHT NOW THE WAY OUR POLICY IS WRITTEN IS IT ONLY PROVIDES ANY INCENTIVES FOR AIR CARRIERS THAT COME IN WITH A NEW SERVICE TO A DESTINATION WITH DAILY TRAFFIC? AND IT IS SOMEWHAT LIMITED IN THE INCENTIVES WE CAN OFFER THEM.

SO WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO EXPAND ON THAT A LITTLE BIT, PROVIDE SOME EXTRA DETAIL.

BECAUSE THAT IS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT ALMOST EVERY AIR CARRIER MEET WITH TALKS ABOUT IS, YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT THE CITY OR THE AIRPORT CAN OFFER THEM IN THE NEAR TERM TO HELP EASE THAT TRANSITION INTO A NEW MARKET? WILL THEY GET THEIR FEET UNDER THEM? LIKE I SAID, WE'VE MET WITH PROBABLY THREE DIFFERENT AIR CARRIERS IN THE LAST YEAR OUTSIDE OF JUST THOSE CONFERENCES.

THEY ALL SEEM TO BE INTERESTED IN COMING TO A DESTINATION.

OUR DESTINATION THEY'RE ALL REALLY INTERESTED AND EXCITED ABOUT FLAGSTAFF THE CHALLENGES WE'VE SEEN.

NUMBER ONE, THE PILOT SHORTAGE IS CONTINUING.

SO THERE'S STILL CATCHING UP WITH THE DEPARTURES THEY HAD DURING COVID WHEN THEY ENCOURAGED RETIREMENTS AND FLIGHT SCHOOLS KIND OF HALTED THEIR OPERATIONS.

SO THAT'S THAT'S BEEN A PRETTY BIG HURDLE FOR THEM TO GET OVER.

AND THE OTHER THING WE'VE SEEN IS THE DELAY IN THE DELIVERY OF AIRCRAFT.

I THINK THERE'S BEEN SOME FAIRLY PUBLIC ISSUES WITH CERTAIN AIRCRAFT BEING CERTIFIED LATELY, AND THAT TRICKLES THROUGH THE WHOLE FLEET.

SO EVEN IF THAT'S NOT AN AIRCRAFT THAT'S GOING TO COME TO FLAGSTAFF PER SE, THEY NEED TO HAVE THAT AIRCRAFT TO FILL THE SPOT THAT CAN FREE UP THE AIRCRAFT THAT CAN COME TO FLAGSTAFF. SO AS WE SEE THOSE CONTINUED DELAYS IN AIRCRAFT, I THINK THAT'S BEEN PUSHING BACK OUR THE, THE WINDOW OR THE TARGET FOR US GETTING A NEW CARRIER IN.

BUT WE HAVE HAD SOME PRETTY PROMISING INTERACTIONS AND WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO DO THAT THIS YEAR BEFORE.

YUKGAEJANG, HENCE THE NEED FOR THE STUDY AS WELL.

SO WHEN THEY ASK US, CAN WE BRING OUR.

A320. WE CAN GIVE THEM AN ANSWER.

YEAH. GOOD POINT. THANKS, ADAM.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

I BELIEVE THAT. BREAK.

BUT DO YOU WANT TO KEEP GOING? SO LET'S DO A BREAK AND THEN WE'LL GO INTO SOLID WASTE.

YEAH. WE HAD PUDDING FOR OUR BREAK.

OF COURSE. LET'S GET BACK HERE.

YEAH. SOLID WASTE AFTER LUNCH.

YEAH, 10 TO 10.

YOU'RE GIVING US AN EXTRA MINUTE.

EXTRA MINUTE? AND.

OH, MAN.

THAT WAS MY DOG MOM VOICE.

ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO GET RESTARTED.

AND WE HAVE EVAN HERE TO TALK.

OH, ARE WE BACK UP? OKAY. TALK ABOUT SOLID WASTE.

LET'S TALK ABOUT WASTE, BABY.

TALK ABOUT YOU AND ME.

TALK ABOUT FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

I HAVE PEOPLE'S ATTENTION TO IT.

ONE. GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE.

MAYOR, VICE MAYOR. COUNCIL.

CITY MANAGER. CITY MANAGER.

CITY CLERK. CITY ATTORNEY.

AFTERNOON, EVERYBODY.

MY NAME IS EVAN TYRELL. YOU'VE MET ME BEFORE.

I AM ON SERVE AS THE CITY'S SOLID WASTE SECTION DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC.

COMING UP A LOT GOING ON IN SOLID WASTE, AND WE'VE PARED IT DOWN TODAY TO TWO SLIDES, THE ENTIRE SECTION.

[04:30:07]

WE'VE ONLY PARED DOWN OUR PRIMARY, MAIN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE ONGOING FOR THIS YEAR AND INTO NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

THERE ARE SOME OTHER ITEMS THAT I'M SURE THE COUNCIL IS PATIENTLY WAITING ON.

UPDATES REGARDING THE RECYCLING WILL BE COMING TO YOU SOONER THAN LATER TO TALK ABOUT THAT.

IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

TODAY, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT TWO OF OUR ONGOING CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS, AND THOSE ARE THE LANDFILL ACCESS ROAD RECONSTRUCTION.

AND THE SECOND ONE IS THE CELL D DEVELOPMENT AT THE CENTER LAKE LANDFILL.

THE LANDFILL ACCESS ROAD WAS RECENTLY APPROVED BY COUNCIL ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, ALONG WITH AN IGA WITH COCONINO COUNTY TO BASICALLY REPAVE THE ROAD LEADING INTO THE LANDFILL.

IT'S ABOUT TWO MILES OF ROAD.

IT WILL INCLUDE A ENTIRE BASICALLY EXCAVATION AND REPLACEMENT OF THE ASPHALT SURFACES, THE FENCING, THE EASEMENTS.

WE'RE GOING TO BE CORRECTING THE CURVES ALONG THE ROAD FOR SAFETY REASONS, AS WELL AS IMPROVING SOME OF THE STORMWATER MITIGATION MEASURES ALONG THE ROADWAY. THE BUDGET FOR THAT FOR THIS YEAR WAS ORIGINALLY BUDGETED AT 4.3 MILLION.

THE PROJECT IS GOING TO BE ABOUT 5 MILLION IN TOTAL, SO WE'VE ADDED A $1 MILLION BUFFER FOR NEXT YEAR'S FISCAL BUDGET FOR UPCOMING FY 24, 25 OF THAT BUDGET.

COCONINO COUNTY DID INCREASE THEIR CONTRIBUTION PREVIOUSLY.

PREVIOUSLY WAS 1.68 MILLION.

NOW THEY ARE INCREASING THAT TO 2.4 MILLION.

SO WE'VE KIND OF OFFSET THE ADDITIONAL COST WITH SUPPORT FROM COCONINO COUNTY, WHICH WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE AND ARE GRATEFUL OF THAT CONTRIBUTION.

THIS WORK IS UNDER A CMR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK AND A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE.

THE WORK HAS ESSENTIALLY STARTED.

WE'RE DOING SOME PRELIMINARY SURVEYING, FIGHTING SIGNAGE, ETC..

END OF APRIL WE REALLY START.

TREES AND ADJUSTING FENCE LINES TO START PREPARING FOR THE LARGER CONSTRUCTION EFFORT.

THIS WORK IS PROJECTED TO BE COMPLETED BY SEPTEMBER OF THIS CALENDAR YEAR 2024.

THE NEXT BIG ITEM IS CELLE DE CELLE DE IS GOING TO BE THE LANDFILL'S FIRST FULLY ENGINEERED AND DESIGNED CELL.

THAT'S THAT'S NOT ESSENTIALLY LEGACY FOR THE LANDFILL.

AND I COULD TALK BECAUSE HERE'S MY WHERE MY LESSONS START.

SO REGULATIONS IN THE 1980S PROMULGATED UNDER THE US ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY REQUIRED THAT NEW LANDFILL CELLS HAVE ENGINEER DESIGN, LINER SYSTEMS AND LEACHATE TO PRECLUDE THE LEACHATE OR WATERS FROM PERCOLATING DOWN BELOW THE SURFACE OF OF THE CELL.

SO THIS CELL WILL HAVE A FULL LINER AND LEACHATE COLLECTION SYSTEM.

WE HAVE BASICALLY OUR DEVELOPING THIS IN TWO SEPARATE PHASES, AN EASTERN PHASE OF THE CELL AND A WESTERN PHASE DUE TO SOME BUDGETARY LIMITATIONS.

AND THIS IS A LARGE 30 ACRE AREA.

WE ARE FIRST DEVELOPING THE EASTERN PORTION UNDER WHAT WE'RE CALLING PHASE ONE.

WE HAVE HAD A CMR AND A GMP WITH ROMO CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN ENGINEERING WITH ANOTHER CONSULTANT THAT HAS DONE THE ORIGINAL EXCAVATION TO THE DEPTHS OF THIS CELL, WHICH WE CURRENTLY STAND ON.

AGAIN, THIS EASTERN PORTION OF THE CELL, WE HAVE MONIES FOR NEXT YEAR TO GET THE CELL IN FULL DEVELOPMENT, SO WE CAN ACTUALLY HAVE IT IN SERVICE.

THE LANDFILL IS GROWING. WE DO NEED TO GET THIS CELL IN SERVICE.

SO WE'VE ADDED THE REMAINING FUNDS THAT WILL PUT THAT EASTERN PORTION INTO FULL SERVICE, WHICH WILL INCLUDE CRUSHING, PLACEMENT OF LINER, LEACHATE DESIGN AND COLLECTION SYSTEM PLACEMENTS. AND THERE'S BASICALLY AN OPERATIONS LAYER AND ROADWAY FOR LOGISTICAL PLANNING.

THIS MONEY IS BEING BUDGETED AND REQUESTED AT AN ADDITIONAL 2.4 MILLION FOR THE WRONG SLIDE HERE.

IT'S HARD TO SEE THIS ACTUALLY STANDING UP HERE.

NEXT YEAR WE'VE PUT IN FOR ABOUT 2.5 MILLION FOR THE BUDGET.

IN ADDITION TO WHAT WE HAVE BUDGETED FOR THIS YEAR THAT HAS BEEN LARGELY COMPLETED.

AND AS I MENTIONED, THAT WILL INCLUDE THE LINER SYSTEM LEACHATE COLLECTION, PLACING THE APPROPRIATE LINERS AND THE LAYERS OF THE SYSTEMS AND VERIFICATION OF THE DESIGN. SO AS I MENTIONED, THIS WILL BE PHASE ONE OF THIS CELL DEVELOPMENT IN FUTURE YEARS.

WE WILL BE MOVING FORWARD WITH PHASE TWO.

THAT WILL BE AN ADDITIONAL POINT $2 MILLION ESTIMATED TO FULLY DEVELOP THIS CELL, WHICH WILL BE THE FULL 30 ACRES FOR A TOTAL COST OF THE CELL DEVELOPMENT OF ABOUT 15 MILLION.

THAT CELL IS ESTIMATED TO LAST US APPROXIMATELY 25 YEARS AT THE LANDFILL AND BRING IN REVENUE OF APPROXIMATELY $115 MILLION.

THAT IS ALL I HAVE TODAY AND HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

QUESTION. SO THE REVENUE THAT'S TAKING INTO ACCOUNT ALL THE OPERATING COSTS, RIGHT?

[04:35:07]

IS THAT GROSS OR NET? GROSS. SO THAT'S THE REVENUE BASED ON HOW MUCH WASTE WE CAN FILL IN A CUBIC YARD OF VOLUME.

AND OUR CURRENT TIPPING FEE, WHICH IS $45.50 A TON.

SO THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SUBTRACTING THE OPERATING COST.

OKAY. SO NOT NET REVENUE.

GROSS REVENUES. AND MY APOLOGIES IF YOU'VE SAID THIS TO US IN PREVIOUS MEETINGS.

BUT I'VE OBVIOUSLY FORGOTTEN HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL LAND IS OUT THERE OR WHEN THE 25 YEARS IS UP.

SURE. SO BEYOND CELL D, I DON'T HAVE A MAP TODAY.

I CAN CERTAINLY PROVIDE ONE.

THERE WAS ANOTHER SEQUENCE CALLED SEQUENCE E, WHICH IS ON THE FAR EASTERN AREA OF THE LANDFILL.

THAT IS CURRENTLY WHERE WE'RE ACTUALLY TAKING COVER MATERIAL.

IT'S KIND OF OUR OUR BORROW PIT, I BELIEVE, ON THE TOP OF MY HEAD THAT IS APPROXIMATELY 80 ACRES IN AREA.

THAT CELL WILL BRING A LOT MORE AIRSPACE THAN JUST THIS ONE CELL D WE'VE BEEN DOING SOME CALCULATIONS OF THE LIFETIME REMAINING OF THE LANDFILL WITH THOSE AREAS WITHOUT EXPANSIONS, AND WE'RE LOOKING WITH WHAT LIMITED WE HAVE LEFT IN THE EXISTING LEGACY CELLS.

PLUS CELL D PLUS CELL E, AT LEAST 80 YEARS AND ABOVE OF REMAINING LIFETIME.

IS IT EVER POSSIBLE TO TO TAP IT AND REUSE A SITE? YES. SO THERE'S OFTENTIMES.

LANDFILLS ARE CLOSED UNDER A FINAL CLOSURE PLAN.

THERE'S FINAL CLOSURE PLACEMENT AND THEN THERE'S POST CLOSURE MONITORING.

OFTENTIMES, LANDFILLS ARE, ONCE THEY'RE CLOSED, UNDERGO WHAT'S CALLED BENEFICIAL REUSE.

SOMETIMES THERE ARE CITY PARKS ON TOP OF THEM.

SOMETIMES THERE'S GOLF FIELDS GOLF COURSES ON TOP OF THEM AS WELL.

SO THERE ARE ALTERNATE USES, AND THERE COULD BE EVEN OTHER WASTE DIVERSION USES IN THE FUTURE ON TOP OF A CLOSED PORTION OR THE ENTIRE LANDFILL ITSELF.

THANK YOU. QUESTION.

AND OUT IN OXNARD, CALIFORNIA, THEY HAVE A BEAUTIFUL GOLF COURSE OVER AT OLD LANDFILL.

YOU HAVE THESE LITTLE PUMPS OUT ON THE SIDE FOR THE METHANE GAS.

SO MY QUESTION IS, I'VE HEARD NOT RECENTLY MUCH, BUT TALK ABOUT THE NEED FOR A METHANE GAS BURN OFF.

AND THEN I'VE ALSO HEARD THAT NOT EVEN SHOWING ENOUGH SIGNS REMOTELY TO ENTERTAIN THAT.

CAN YOU PROVIDE CLARIFICATION ON.

NEED IT. IS IT IN THE CONVERSATION? HOW LONG BEFORE WE'RE GOING TO NEED IT? SURE, ABSOLUTELY. SO LANDFILLS ARE REQUIRED TO MONITOR FOR METHANE AND NON-METHANE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS THAT ARE COMMONLY GENERATED AT LARGE LANDFILL FACILITIES.

WE CURRENTLY DO, EVERY FIVE YEARS, A HIRE CONSULTANT THAT CONDUCTS CERTAIN DRILLING INTO THE LANDFILL.

THEY COLLECT SAMPLES, AND THEY MODEL PROJECTIONS AS TO HOW MUCH METHANE THE LANDFILL IS, IS EMITTING FROM THE AMBIENT SURFACE.

AND SO CURRENTLY WE ARE BELOW THOSE THRESHOLDS.

THAT'S CALLED IT'S UNDER CLEAN AIR ACT.

AND THERE'S TIER TWO REPORTING.

WE'RE CURRENTLY BELOW THOSE THRESHOLDS TO REQUIRE METHANE CAPTURE AND ONGOING EXTRACTION.

IT IS PROJECTED IN THE FUTURE WE WILL COME TO EXCEEDING THOSE THRESHOLDS.

AND THAT'S ALSO PART OF CELL D BEYOND THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT IS WE WILL BE INSTALLING GAS EXTRACTION WELLS THAT WILL CENTRALIZE THAT METHANE ORGANIC MATERIAL AND EITHER FLARE IT OFF OR USE IT FOR OTHER BENEFICIAL PURPOSES IN THE FUTURE.

SO IN THE FUTURE, YES, WE WILL HAVE SOME MORE STRINGENT REQUIREMENTS WE DO CURRENTLY MONITOR.

AND THE MODELING IS CURRENTLY SHOWING THAT WE ARE BELOW THE THRESHOLD CURRENTLY FOR THOSE REQUIREMENTS.

BUT IN THE 2030 AND BEYOND, WE WILL LIKELY EXCEED THOSE THRESHOLDS AND HAVE TO HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL MONITORING 20, 30 YEARS FROM NOW BEYOND OR IN THE YEAR 2030, I'M SORRY, CALENDAR YEAR 2030 AND BEYOND.

IT'S LIKELY WHEN WE WILL START EXCEEDING THOSE THRESHOLDS.

SEVEN. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE THE QUESTIONS IN YOUR TIME.

NOW WE HAVE WATER SERVICES.

MAC SHANNON.

MAC. YOU'RE UP.

HE DOESN'T WANT TO COME UP.

DID YOU, MAC? TIRED OF TALKING TO US? MAYBE. ARE THEY? IT'S LIKE I'M NOT GETTING UP THERE.

A LONG DAY. GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYBODY.

[04:40:02]

I'M THE WATER SERVICES ENGINEERING SECTION DIRECTOR.

A COUPLE MONTHS INTO THE POSITION.

SO I'M TRYING TO WRAP MY BRAIN AROUND ALL THESE THINGS WE HAVE FOR WATER UTILITIES.

WE HAVE DRINKING WATER, WASTEWATER RECLAIM, AND STORMWATER.

WE'RE GOING TO TOUCH ON EACH OF THOSE UTILITIES IN A COUPLE SLIDES HERE.

I THINK TREVOR HENRY IS GOING TO HELP ME ON A COUPLE OF THE LARGER CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT I'M NOT SO FAMILIAR WITH.

SO HE MAY HOP IN HERE ON A COUPLE SLIDES.

THE FIRST THE FIRST SLIDE WE HAVE HERE, WE HAVE TWO DRINKING WATER TRANSMISSION MAIN PROJECTS.

THEY'RE BOTH GOING TO BE COMPLETE IN ABOUT A MONTH.

BOTH OF THEM ARE TRACKING TO BE UNDER BUDGET RIGHT NOW, WHICH IS GREAT.

THE FIRST PROJECT HERE IS THE SWITZER CANYON PHASE FOUR.

THIS PROJECT IS PART OF A FIVE PHASE PROJECT THAT WILL CONNECT THE TWO MAINS TO OUR NORTH RESERVOIR.

THE PHASE FOUR CONSISTS OF A MILE OF 16 INCH MAIN, A MILE OF OF 24 INCH MAIN.

THE SECOND PROJECT LISTED, THE SOLAIRE AVENUE WATER MAIN, IS A 12 INCH LINE.

THIS LINE BUILDS RESILIENCY IN OUR SYSTEM AND ADDS CAPACITY TO THE DEVELOPING FOURTH STREET AND BUTLER AREA.

30 QUESTIONS ON THESE TWO PROJECTS.

LEADING. THE NEXT PROJECT WE HAVE LISTED HERE, ALSO UNDER DRINKING WATER, IS A METER VAULT REPLACEMENT.

THIS WAS INSTALLED AT THE CAMEO MOBILE HOME COMMUNITY AS PART OF OUR ANNUAL METER VAULT REPLACEMENT PROGRAM.

WE MOVED THE METER OUT OF THE STREET FOR BETTER ACCESS.

AND WE ALSO ADDED A RADIO READING METER TO IT.

NEXT PROJECT WE HAVE HERE IS INTER-BASIN WATER LINE.

I'M GOING TO HAVE TREVOR HENRY HELP ME OUT WITH THIS.

THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS OR SO, AND DAVID PETERSON IS THE CAPITAL PM ON THIS PROJECT. IT'S A DESIGN BUILD.

OUR DESIGNER IS JACOBS ENGINEERING AND OUR BUILDER IS HUNTER CONTRACTING.

SO THIS PROJECT WILL RE ARMOR THE WATERLINE THAT HAS BEEN DAMAGED DUE TO THE RECENT WILDLAND FIRES THAT WE'VE HAD UP ON THE PEAKS.

AND THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO STABILIZE THE WATERLINE.

SO THAT WAS DAMAGED AS PART OF THE FIRES THAT HAPPENED UP THERE.

OUR BUDGET IS 16.1 MILLION.

AND WE WERE ABLE TO RECEIVE A DEPARTMENT.

OF FORESTRY AND FIRE MANAGEMENT.

SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS WE'LL HAVE TO EXPEND THE MONEY AND WATER SERVICES IS FUNDED AND WE WILL BE REIMBURSED FOR THOSE AMOUNTS WE ARE TRACKING TO BE ALL WITHIN THAT $16 MILLION.

LET'S SEE. WE'RE JUST IN FRONT OF YOU.

BACK IN FEBRUARY, AND YOU APPROVED GMP NUMBER FOUR, AND THAT WAS FOR $9 MILLION.

SO THAT CONTINUES THE PROCESS TO COMPLETE THIS WATERLINE REPAIR AND REARMING AND STABILIZE THE ROAD AGAIN.

SO TO DATE WE'VE SPENT ABOUT 5 MILLION.

SO NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT 14 MILLION.

AS WE GET FURTHER INTO THE REST OF THE YEAR, WE'RE HOPING TO BE IN FRONT OF YOU NEXT EARLY NEXT YEAR WITH THE LAST GMP, WHICH WILL BE THE MOP UP.

EVERYTHING WILL BE WITHIN THAT 16 MILLION WHERE WE ARE, AND THE PROJECT TEAM IS BEGINNING TO REENGAGE.

THEY ARE STARTING SOME WEEKLY MEETINGS.

THEY DO HOPE TO START DOING SOME WORK AT THE END OF APRIL.

AS OF RIGHT NOW, I THINK SOME OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS WERE PART OF THE TOUR BACK IN AUGUST.

THAT LAST AREA THAT WE STOPPED AT THE VERY HIGHEST, I THINK THAT WAS SITE A, I WAS TOLD THERE'S ABOUT 5.5FT OF SNOW STILL, SO THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT A LITTLE BIT BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY GET BACK UP TO THE HIGHER PARTS.

SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON THE LOWER PARTS.

AND THE ONE THING THAT THE CONTRACTOR IS GOING TO DO THIS YEAR IS THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE FOUR CREWS WORKING IN FOUR LOCATIONS, SO THAT THEY'LL TRY TO GET A LOT OF THE WORK WRAPPED UP QUICKER AND DONE SOONER.

SO YEAH, THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE ARE.

AND MAYBE NEXT YEAR YOU'LL SEE ANOTHER GMP.

THE MONEY BAG.

SO IT'S AN ENTERPRISE FUND.

THIS IS A BIG PROJECT.

SO HOW DOES THAT WORK? WE WE WE SUPPORT THE PROJECT AND THEN GET PAID BACK THROUGH FROM THE ENTERPRISE FUND.

SO THIS IS ORIGINALLY THIS PROJECT WAS FUNDED THROUGH WATER SERVICES, THE ENTERPRISE FUND, WHICH IS WHY IT HAS A BLUE BAG.

BUT WE WERE AWARDED THE THE GRANT, THE DFM GRANT.

[04:45:05]

THAT MONEY WILL GO BACK INTO THE ENTERPRISE.

NO MORE QUESTIONS. THANKS, MAC.

DID YOU NOTICE YOUR NEW DEFINITION OVER HERE? ALRIGHT. YOU KNEW.

I REMEMBER THAT THE G IS SILENT.

YOU. SO THIS NEXT PROJECT WE HAVE HERE, WE'RE STAYING IN DRINKING WATER.

THIS IS THE LAKE MARY WATER TREATMENT PLANT REHAB PROJECT.

THIS FACILITY RECEIVES WATER FROM UPPER LAKE MARY AND PROVIDES OVER 30% OF OUR POTABLE DRINKING WATER.

AND IS ALSO CAPABLE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING 8 MILLION GALLONS A DAY.

PROJECT PROJECTS HAVE BEEN FULLY DESIGNED, AND WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR PROCUREMENT DEPARTMENT RIGHT NOW TO ADVERTISE FOR A CMR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK.

HOPING TO START FALL IN 2024.

IT'S PROBABLY ABOUT A TWO YEAR PROJECT.

THE QUESTIONS. DO WE HAVE A SENSE OF HOW MUCH SEDIMENTATION NEEDS TO BE REMOVED? I DON'T I THINK THAT'S AN ONGOING PROCESS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

I'M NOT SURE IF SHANNON'S GETTING MORE DETAIL ON THAT, I DON'T KNOW.

THANKS, MIKE. MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS, CITY MANAGER.

SO THIS IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN A STORM WATER SEDIMENTATION BASIN TO COLLECT IT.

IT IS PART OF THE ONGOING PROCESS.

AS MATERIAL COMES INTO THE DRINKING WATER FACILITY A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN A STORM WATER EVENT, BUT THEY'RE STILL SEDIMENT COAGULANTS ARE USED TO TO BRING THOSE SEDIMENTS TOGETHER. AS THEY SETTLE IN THAT BASIN, THEY ARE CONTINUOUSLY REMOVED.

SO REALLY THE REHABILITATION OF THE BASIN IS JUST MORE AS A STRUCTURAL AND THE MECHANICAL COMPONENTS THAT REMOVE THAT ON AN ONGOING BASIS.

SO KIND OF WASTING OUT AS IT'S, AS IT'S OCCURRING.

THANKS FOR EXPLAINING. THANK YOU.

THIS NEXT SLIDE HERE, WE'RE HOPPING INTO THE RECLAIMED UTILITY.

THIS PROJECT RIGHT HERE, IT'S BOTTLENECK.

THIS RECLAIMED PROJECT IS AN UPSIZING OF A PIPE TO ALLEVIATE A BOTTLENECK IN OUR RECLAIMED SYSTEM.

AND THIS RUNS FROM THE STORAGE TANK AT BUFFALO PARK DOWN TO NORTH ELLEN STREET.

THE PROJECT WILL REPLACE A LITTLE OVER A MILE OF EIGHT INCH EXISTING PIPE WITH A NEW 20 INCH PIPE.

IT ALSO INCORPORATES IT CONDUIT FOR FIBER FOR FUTURE FIBER.

WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON FINALIZING THAT DESIGN.

BUDGET, OF COURSE, IS IDENTIFIED AS 4.8 MILLION.

WE'RE LOOKING TO ADVERTISE THIS PROJECT FOR CONSTRUCTION PROBABLY IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS.

NEXT SLIDE HERE IS JUMPING INTO THE WASTEWATER UTILITY.

SO WILDCAT SEWER INTERCEPTOR.

THIS PROJECT WILL INCREASE OUR HYDRAULIC CAPACITY FOR WASTEWATER AND IMPROVE ON OUR RESILIENCY.

WE'RE LOOKING TO UPSIZE POTENTIALLY TWO MILES OF SEWER MAIN.

WE'RE STILL KIND OF SCOPING THIS PROJECT.

WE SELECTED A DESIGN ENGINEER.

LOCAL FIRM WAS SWISS.

NOW A DURA. AND WE WILL BE BRINGING THAT CONTRACT TO COUNCIL PROBABLY IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO FOR AWARD ONCE WE FINALIZE THAT.

QUICK QUESTION. SURE.

ARE ANY OF THESE PROJECTS CONSIDERED MORE OF A STOP GAP ON THE WAY TO OUR LARGER PROJECTS WE NEED TO DO, AND IF SO. YOU KNOW, THESE PROJECTS BECOME OBSOLETE ONCE WE PUT INTO PLACE THE LARGER PROJECTS.

WHICH WHICH SPECIFIC LARGER PROJECTS? ANY ANY OF THEM? I MEAN, THIS IS THIS IS A THIS IS A PHASE OF CORRECTING THE BOTTLENECK ON THE, ON THIS THIS IS PART OF THE OVERALL THE OVERALL SYSTEM.

YES. WE'RE JUST KIND OF TAKING SMALL CHUNKS ONE AT A TIME THAT WE CAN DELIVER.

BUT MY UNDERSTANDING THIS IS KIND OF ONE PART OF A THREE PART PHASE THAT COMES ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE WILDCAT RECLAMATION PLANS.

AND A LITTLE CONTEXT TOO.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, MATT.

BEING A MAJOR TRUNK LINE.

THIS ONE'S BEEN NEARING CAPACITY, SO THERE'S URGENCY TO IT.

IT WAS A STANDALONE PROJECT AND NOT IT WON'T BE OUTDATED WHEN OTHER IMPROVEMENTS ARE MADE.

IN FACT, IT ARGUABLY NEEDS TO BE ONE OF THE FIRST PROJECTS ACCOMPLISHED.

LET'S THANK YOU FOR THE.

THE NEXT COUPLE OF SLIDES WE HAVE HERE, WE'RE GOING TO HOP INTO STORM WATER UTILITY.

[04:50:03]

THE FIRST FIVE THAT ARE LISTED ARE RELATED TO POST-FIRE FLOOD MITIGATION.

AND THE LAST ONE LISTED WAS COMPLETED WHEN FRANCIS SHORT POND WAS DREDGED.

THAT WAS THE THE FLAG COMPOSITE CHANNEL INLET GATE.

NEXT SLIDE, OF COURSE, IS STILL IN THE STORM WATER.

SCHULTZ CREEK DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS AT US HIGHWAY 180.

IT'S A LARGE SCALE FLOOD MITIGATION PROJECT THAT UPSIZE THE SCHULTZ CREEK DRAINAGE CROSSING AT US HIGHWAY 180.

THE PROJECT WILL HELP MITIGATE FLOOD RISK IN THE COCONINO ESTATES NEIGHBORHOOD AND OTHER DOWNSTREAM AREAS.

BUT WE RECEIVED $8.9 MILLION OF STATE APPROPRIATION FUNDS.

CONSTRUCTION COSTS TO DELIVER THE PROJECT ARE RIGHT ABOUT 7.8 MILLION.

AND THE CITY IS PARTNERING WITH SEVERAL PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS, ADOT AND THE COUNTY, TO DELIVER THIS PROJECT.

OUR CONTRACTOR, BONAZZI CONSTRUCTION, WHICH IS THE CMR, THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK HAS STARTED TO MOBILIZE.

MAYBE YOU'VE SEEN SOME ACTION OUT THERE RIGHT NOW.

AND THE STORM WATER CONVEYANCE WILL BE DONE JULY 1ST TO GET READY FOR MONSOONS.

THEY'LL BE LIKE ANOTHER MONTH, MONTH AND A HALF OF WORK, OF PAVING THE ROAD INSTALLING LANDSCAPING, CURBING, GUTTER AND THOSE KIND OF FINALIZED ITEMS ON THE PROJECT.

AND I THINK THAT THIS IS A PROJECT THAT IF THERE'S SOME KIND OF AN AWARD THAT YOU CAN PUT IN FOR, WOULD BE A GREAT ONE, JUST IN TERMS OF SPEED AND COMPLEXITY.

WHEN YOU ADD IN THE PRIVATE LANDOWNERS AND PUBLIC LANDOWNERS AND GETTING THE MONEY AND EVERYTHING, IT'S REALLY VERY EXCITING. AFTER THAT, IF I MAY, MAYOR GIVE PROPS TO MAC AND HIS TEAM ON THIS.

AND, MAC, YOU'VE WORKED WITH ED SHANK, YOU WORKED WITH BRYCE DOTY, AND I FORGET WHO ELSE WAS INVOLVED IN THE PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS WHEN WE WERE ON SITE A YEAR AGO, RIGHT? STUFF A LOT WITH BERTELSEN.

YEAH, YEAH. IT'S AMAZING HOW THINGS CAME TOGETHER ON THIS PROJECT.

IT REMINDS ME A LITTLE BIT OF THE SEDIMENTATION BASINS AT SCOTT OVERTON AND ED AND OTHERS WERE DOING RELATED TO THIS DRAINAGE.

SYSTEM. BUT THIS PROJECT IN PARTICULAR, YOU KNOW, AND JUST REFRESH COUNCIL'S MEMORY.

I MEAN, WHEN THIS WAS HAPPENING, WE LOST ACCESS TO OUR FIRE STATION.

THE SIDEWALK WAS CAVING IN.

WE WERE WE'RE WE WERE SEEING SUBTERRANEAN COLLAPSE ALONG THE HIGHWAY.

IT WAS TERRIBLE. AND THEN I'LL SORT OF REFRESH YOUR MEMORY AS ADA WAS DIGGING INTO IT.

OF COURSE. IT'S THEIR HIGHWAY AND THEIR CULVERT.

ALONG THE HIGHWAY THAT PARALLELS THE HIGHWAY, THEY DISCOVERED IT WAS BREACHED.

AND MANY, MANY YEARS OUTDATED AND OUT OF FUNCTION.

SO EVERYTHING WAS JUST KIND OF UNRAVELING ON THIS, NOT THE LEAST OF WHICH IS THE FACT THAT THE NEIGHBORHOODS DOWNSTREAM OF THIS YOU KNOW, WERE AND STILL ARE TO A MUCH LESSER EXTENT, SUSCEPTIBLE TO FLOODING.

SO GETTING THIS FIXED WAS PARAMOUNT.

AND THEN THINGS STARTED COMING TOGETHER.

PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS.

THAT AGREEMENT WITH ADOT, AND IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE ADOT WORK AS FAST AS THEY DID ON THE TEMPORARY PART OF THIS PROJECT AND NOW ON THE PERMANENT PART WHICH YOU'RE SEEING HERE.

AND FORTUNATELY, WE'RE ABLE TO USE THE SAME ALIGNMENT.

IT SHOULD WIN AWARDS.

IT SHOULD WIN MANY AWARDS.

IT'S AMAZING. A PROJECT LIKE THIS COULD HAPPEN IN SUCH QUICK TURNAROUND.

GOOD QUESTION.

WHEN WE WERE DOWN TESTIFYING FOR THE APPROPRIATIONS FUND ALLOCATIONS SENATOR ROGERS ALSO MADE A COMMITMENT FOR 9 MILLION, I THINK FOR IN THAT VICINITY TO HELP WITH THIS PROJECT.

WAS THAT EVER UTILIZED OR.

THAT'S THE 8.9 NOW THAT WAS OUT OF THE STATES.

THAT WAS OUT OF THAT SUB CARVE OUT OF.

ANOTHER PROJECT THAT THEY HAD WITH LITTLE COLORADO RIVER PROJECT.

YEAH, IT WAS A CARVE OUT ON THAT.

AND SENATOR ROGERS PLEDGED MORE MONEY.

I CANNOT SPEAK TO THE ADDITIONAL PLEDGE.

I KNOW WE HAVE REALIZED THIS MONEY.

I THINK THAT SHE, I THINK THAT LEGISLATOR WAS GIVEN A POT OF MONEY TO ALLOCATE.

SO I THINK THE MONEY THAT REPRESENTATIVE COOK.

ORIGINALLY ENTERED INTO THE APPROPRIATION FUNDS.

[04:55:03]

OKAY. THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE.

THAT'S THAT'S HOW I UNDERSTAND IT.

THERE'S TWO PARTS OR AND THEN JUST TO ADD ON TO THAT.

THIS LEGISLATIVE SESSION HAS PUT IT IN HER PACKAGE, AND PROTECTING THAT MONEY DOESN'T GET SWEPT FROM THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF.

YES, SHE HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY HELPFUL.

YEAH, A GREAT PROJECT.

I'M EXCITED TO GET IT GOING.

ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE? NEXT, NEXT SLIDE HERE IS STILL UNDER THE STORM WATER FUNDS.

WE'VE GOT TWO, TWO THINGS IDENTIFIED HERE.

THE LOWER SPRUCE WASH CHANNEL RESILIENCY PROJECT IS IS PARTLY FUNDED BY A 2019 FEMA GRANTS.

THAT WAS AWARDED IN 2023.

THIS PROJECT IS FOR WORK SOUTH OF FOURTH AND BUTLER TO STABILIZE THE CHANNEL AFTER THE MUSEUM FIRE.

AND THE PROJECT IS CURRENTLY IN DESIGN.

THE SECOND BULLET WE HAVE HERE IS SPOT IMPROVEMENTS.

SO THE SPOT IMPROVEMENTS IS A REOCCURRING PROGRAM FOR $150,000 A YEAR.

AND IT FUNDS SMALL CAPITAL PROJECTS LESS THAN $100,000.

AND EXAMPLES ARE THOSE ARE CATCH BASIN PLACEMENTS, PIPE REPLACEMENTS, NEW DITCH CONNECTIONS, ANY SMALL PROJECTS THAT STORM WATER WANTS TO FIX. THERE AREN'T ANY QUESTIONS.

I WILL HAND IT BACK OVER TO TREVOR.

THE RIO DE FLAG.

SO THE RIO DE FLAG PROJECT FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT IN THE WORKS FOR ABOUT TEN YEARS NOW, AND I REPORTED LAST TIME ON OUR LAST UPDATE.

THE LAST FEW YEARS WE'VE HAD SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS.

A LOT OF MOVING PARTS.

THE AGENCIES THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH AND WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD A LOT OF GOOD WORK.

SO WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS IS THE SPONSOR, THE FEDERAL SPONSOR.

AND THEN THE CITY OF FLAGSTAFF IS THE NONFEDERAL SPONSOR.

SO THERE IS A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY WHEN IT COMES TO THE BUDGET.

THE ARMY CORPS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR 65%, AND THEN THE CITY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR 35%.

AND AT THE MOMENT WE HAVE OUR CITY IS FULLY FUNDED, 42.7 UNDER THAT 122 MILLION.

SO THAT IS KIND OF WHERE WE STAND.

WE DID HAVE A GREAT MEETING AT THE END OF JANUARY.

IT WAS AN EXECUTIVE MEETING.

WE HAD BNSF, WE HAD THE ARMY CORPS, AND WE HAD CITY, A FEW COUNCIL MEMBERS AND CITY LEADERSHIP ALL COLLECTIVELY WORKING TOWARDS A GOAL TO DELIVER THIS PROJECT.

A LOT OF COMMITMENTS WERE MADE, AND WE'RE STILL CONTINUING TO MAKE PROGRESS.

CHRISTINE CAMERON IS OUR PROJECT MANAGER AND SHE IS CURRENTLY IN PHOENIX ATTENDING ANOTHER EXECUTIVE MEETING.

AND SO SHE'S CONTINUING THAT PROGRESS AND TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE MOVING IN A GOOD DIRECTION AND WE WANT TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT.

DURING THAT MEETING, WE DID TALK ABOUT THE COST.

AS AWARE AS EVERYBODY KNOWS, COSTS ARE GOING UP SO THAT 122 MILLION, WE'RE NOT SURE WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE, BUT WE ARE ACTIVELY MOVING AND TRYING TO MITIGATE COSTS.

THE ARMY CORPS IS DOING THEIR BEST STILL WORKING THROUGH THE DESIGN.

WE HOPE TO HAVE THAT DESIGN COMPLETE THIS SUMMER AND AGAIN.

THEN WE'LL JUST GET A LITTLE CLOSER TO WHAT THAT REAL NUMBER WILL BE.

SO THIS PROJECT IS SHOWN AS PHASE ONE AND PHASE TWO.

IT'S ACTUALLY NOW STAGE ONE AND STAGE TWO.

STAGE ONE IS BELOW OR SOUTH OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS.

STAGE TWO IS NORTH AND ESSENTIALLY SOMEWHERE WITHIN STAGE ONE.

AND TWO WILL BE AN UNDERGROUND BOX CULVERT OR AN OPEN CONCRETE CHANNEL.

SO IT'S JUST DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU ARE AND KIND OF IN THE AREA THAT THE PROJECT WILL BE.

SO. SO FOR STAGE ONE, WE'RE ANTICIPATING TO START SOME TYPE OF WORK EARLY NEXT YEAR.

AND THAT WILL BE THREE SEASONS.

AND THEN STAGE TWO WILL FOLLOW SOMETIME AFTER THAT.

AND AGAIN IT'S UP TO THE ARMY CORPS AND WE'RE GOING TO WORK IF WE CAN STAGGER IT A LITTLE BIT SO THAT IT DOESN'T, SO THAT WE CAN DO SOME WORK ON BOTH AT THE SAME TIME, POSSIBLY. RIGHT NOW WE'RE WE'RE ANTICIPATING STAGE ONE AND THEN STAGE TWO, THREE SEASONS APIECE.

SO A TOTAL OF SIX YEARS.

WHAT COUNCIL MIGHT SEE COMING UP IN THE FUTURE IS WE HAVE A DESIGN CHANGE ORDER FOR OUR CONSULTANT.

[05:00:05]

SO THAT JUST KIND OF SHOWS HOW LONG THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN IN PROGRESS.

SO YOU MIGHT SEE A CHANGE ORDER COME ACROSS AND WE'LL HAVE TO ALLOCATE SOME MORE MONEY FOR THE PROJECT TO DESIGN TO COMPLETE IT.

THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO PROVIDE FOR YOU AS UPDATES.

ANY QUESTIONS RELATED TO THIS PROJECT? YES. THANK YOU.

TREVOR. MORE OF A COMMENT, BUT A VERY IMPORTANT COMMENT ON THIS PROJECT, WHICH WHICH HAS BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR SOME TIME.

TREVOR ALLUDED TO THE INCREASED COST.

AND THEN ALSO MADE MENTION THAT WE'RE NOW HOPING TO BREAK GROUND NEXT YEAR.

COUNCIL MAY RECALL WE WERE INITIALLY THINKING THIS YEAR.

WE'VE JUST BEEN BUMPED A FEW TIMES, BUT THE MEETING THAT OCCURRED WITH ARMY CORPS AND BNSF AND THE CITY, THE CITY LEADERSHIP MONTHS AGO, WE WERE A LITTLE BIT DISAPPOINTED TO HEAR FROM THE ARMY CORPS WHEN THE QUESTION WAS ASKED QUITE POINTEDLY THIS, THAT THE PROJECT WOULD NOT START THIS YEAR. AND THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME WE HAD HEARD THAT IN SUCH AN EXPRESS WAY.

WHAT THAT MEANS FOR US YOU KNOW, ON MANY FRONTS IS, IS A LOT OF IMPACT COST PROBABLY TOPPING THAT LIST, BUT ALSO EVERYTHING YOU'VE HEARD OF THUS FAR TODAY TIES TOGETHER IN THIS AREA.

YOU KNOW MUCH OF WHAT YOU'VE HEARD TODAY.

DOWNTOWN MILE, DOWNTOWN CONNECTION CENTER REFERENCE TO, YOU KNOW, PARKING AND THE CIVIC PLAZA ACROSS 66.

SO MANY THINGS.

TIE TOGETHER. AND THE RIO PROJECT, OF COURSE, HAS TO TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER EVERYTHING ELSE BECAUSE IT'S UNDERGROUND.

SO THE MORE WE WAIT, THE MORE OTHER PROJECTS ARE GOING TO BE FORESTALLED.

WE HAVE COST.

THEN YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, OTHER PROJECTS BEING IMPACTED.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, ALL THE WHILE, YOU HAVE OUR CONTINUED RISK OF FLOODING.

WE WANT THIS PROJECT WRAPPED UP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO WE CAN AVOID MORE FLOODING.

UNTIL IT HAPPENS, WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO WHATEVER MOTHER NATURE DEALS US.

AND AND WE WERE SEEING THE NUMBERS AND HEARING ALL THE DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT COULD HAPPEN IN THE RIO DE FLAG WATERSHED IN BAD CASE SCENARIOS.

WHERE I'M GOING WITH ALL THIS IS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED TRYING TO FILL THIS GAP, FUNDING AS A PRIORITY FOR COUNCIL, AND IT'S IN WASHINGTON TRIP.

COUNCIL MEMBER MCCARTHY AND VICE MAYOR.

YOU'LL BE ACCOMPANIED MAYOR DAGGETT ON THAT TRIP.

AND A COUPLE OF US AT THE STAFF LEVEL.

CHRISTINE CAMERON, THE TEAM WORKING WITH TREVOR.

SHE WILL BE WITH US.

I THINK THAT'S THAT IT WILL PREP FOR THIS, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE A CENTRAL POINT THAT WE PURSUE WITH OUR DELEGATES AND PERHAPS WITH THE ARMY CORPS IF WE GET A CHANCE WHEN WE GO TO DC.

WE NEED TO FIND THIS GAP FUNDING, AND WE NEED TO GET THIS PROJECT GOING.

YEAH. JUST TO CLARIFY, THE REASON WHY THE CORPS IS SAYING NOW SHOW US ON THE GROUND NEXT YEAR, AS OPPOSED TO THIS YEAR IS A FUNDING CONSIDERATION OR FOYE.

I THINK IT TIES TO A LOT OF THINGS, MOSTLY CONTRACTUAL AND REAL ESTATE ACQUISITION IN THE ARMY CORPS, APPROVAL OF APPRAISALS AND A HOST OF OTHER THINGS THAT I DON'T PRETEND TO BE AN EXPERT ON.

YEAH. SO THERE IS A ACRONYM CALLED LUDES LAIRD'S.

SO IT'S LAND EASEMENTS, REMOVALS RIGHT OF WAY AND DISPOSAL.

SO PART OF THAT IS THE ACQUISITION.

WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON REAL ESTATE FOR THE ENTIRE STAGE ONE AND STAGE TWO.

AND A LOT OF THAT INVOLVES WITH OUR DESIGNERS TALKING TO THE ARMY CORPS, TALKING TO THEIR DESIGNERS TO ENSURE WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

AS FAR AS PROPERTY RIGHTS ARE CORRECT, THERE MIGHT BE A REVISION NEEDED HERE, AND THE ARMY CORPS NEEDS TO KNOW THAT BEFORE THEY CAN TAKE IT TO GET IT CERTIFIED, GET CERTIFICATION.

SO ALL OF THAT RELIES ON THE DESIGN.

WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH THAT.

WE'RE STILL WORKING WITH THE ARMY CORPS ON COMMENTS.

SO ALL OF THAT COLLECTIVELY, AS CITY MANAGER, CLIFTON MENTIONED, EVERYTHING WORKING TOGETHER JUST CAUSE THE SCHEDULE TO SLIP.

SO WHERE WE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO ADVERTISE, MAYBE THIS SUMMER, THEN GET INTO A CONTRACT LATER THIS YEAR.

NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT LATER THIS YEAR FOR A CONTRACT AND THEN START CONSTRUCTION NEXT SPRING.

[05:05:08]

STARTING PHASE TWO.

AND SO PHASE ONE IS COMPLETE.

MEAN IS THAT BUDGET? IS IT MANPOWER? WE COULD WORK ON THEM SIMULTANEOUSLY.

ADVANTAGES OF THAT.

SO WHY IS IT THAT WE HAVE TO WAIT? SO EARLY ON? THE ARMY CORPS IS IN CHARGE OF KIND OF HOW THEY'RE GOING TO ADMINISTER THE PROJECT.

THEY DEFINE STAGE ONE AS FIRST AND STAGE TWO AS SECOND.

THAT'S KIND OF HOW WE'VE BEEN WORKING.

SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION, THE DESIGN ON STAGE ONE.

SO THAT'S FURTHER ALONG THAN IT IS WITH STAGE TWO.

SO IF WE WERE TO SWITCH, DEFINITELY GOING TO HAVE A PAUSE TO CATCH UP WITH STAGE TWO TO GET EVERYTHING FINALIZED AND THE DESIGN COMPLETE.

THE OTHER THING IS AT 122 MILLION, NOT SURE IF A CONTRACTOR SOMEBODY CAN SUPPORT THAT OR BOND FOR THAT. AND IF YOU SEE WE HAVE ALL THREE CORRIDORS FROM THE DOWNTOWN GOING OUT FOR THAT UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

I'D BE A LITTLE BIT OF A TRAFFIC DELAY.

SO THOSE ARE JUST SOME OF THE HIGH LEVEL REASONS WHY WE HAVEN'T REALLY EXPLORED GOING TO STAGE TWO FIRST AND THEN MAYBE WORKING ON STAGE TWO, BUT JUST WORKING WITH THE ARMY CORPS, WE'VE BEEN GIVEN DIRECTION ON STAGE ONE AND STAGE TWO, AND THAT'S KIND OF HOW WE'VE.

THANK YOU. IS THAT IT? FOR WATER SERVICES.

I'VE GOT A COUPLE MORE.

REISNER. YEAH, YEAH.

SORRY. WE MIGHT TAKE HIM.

THANK YOU. THANK. THANK YOU AGAIN.

MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS ELI REISNER, CITY OF FLAGSTAFF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT MANAGER FOR PROPOSITION FOR 41 SPRUCE WASH.

THIS PROPOSITION WAS PASSED WITH SUPPORT FROM 70% 76% OF FLAGSTAFF VOTERS IN NOVEMBER OF 2022.

THE PROPOSITION INVESTS $57 MILLION IN CITY OF FLAGSTAFF WILDFIRE SUPPRESSION, STORMWATER MITIGATION, AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT.

SPECIFICALLY. SPECIFICALLY, $26 MILLION OF THIS FUNDING WILL BE USED TO FUND STORMWATER INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE BRUCE WASH AREA TO LESSEN IMPACTS OF FLOODING IN AFFECTED NEIGHBORHOODS.

BY NOW. I'M SURE YOU'VE ALL BY NOW.

I'M SURE YOU ARE ALL VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE SPRUCE WASH FLOOD MITIGATION SUITE OF PROJECTS MAP SHOWN HERE, AND THE TEN PROJECTS THAT PROPOSITION 441 WILL HELP FUND ON THE SUITE OF PROJECTS WEBSITE AT MUSEUM FLOOD PROJECTS.

COM THERE ARE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROJECTS AND THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS, AS WELL AS RESOURCES TO SIGN UP TO RECEIVE WEEKLY EMAIL UPDATES ABOUT THE PROJECTS. THE WEBSITE ALSO HAS A LOT OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE SUITE OF PROJECTS, INCLUDING ALL THE PREVIOUSLY DISTRIBUTED NOTICES, WEEKLY NEWSLETTERS, RECORDED COUNCIL MEETINGS, AND RECORDED COMMUNITY MEETINGS.

WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER COMMUNITY MEETING SCHEDULED FOR NEXT WEEK ON MONDAY, APRIL 1ST TO GO OVER THE ONGOING PROJECTS, PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS, PREPARATIONS FOR MONSOON SEASON, AND TO ANSWER QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMUNITY GROUP FROM THE COMMUNITY REGARDING THE SUITE OF PROJECTS.

FOR THE BUDGET OF THESE PROJECTS, THERE ARE MULTIPLE FUNDING SOURCES THAT MAKE UP THE $39.9 MILLION BUDGET FOR THE SUITE OF PROJECTS.

THE MAJORITY OF THESE PROJECTS WILL BE FUNDED BY THE $26 MILLION FROM PROPOSITION 441.

5.6 MILLION WILL BE USED FROM THE ROAD REPAIR AND STREET SAFETY SALES TAX.

THAT WILL BE THAT WILL PAY FOR THE UTILITY AND SURFACE IMPROVEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE GRANDVIEW DRIVE RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT.

$8.2 MILLION IN GRANTS WILL BE USED TO SUPPLEMENT PROPOSITION 441 FUNDS ON VARIOUS PROJECTS.

WATER SERVICES IS CONTRIBUTING 148,000 FOR WATER AND SEWER RELATED IMPROVEMENTS ON AGING INFRASTRUCTURE THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED DURING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SUITE OF PROJECTS, BUT NOT NECESSARILY FOR THE FLOOD MITIGATION IMPROVEMENTS THEMSELVES.

FOR THE SCHEDULE.

DESIGN OF THE SUITE OF PROJECTS BEGAN IN THE 2022 2023 WINTER AND IS STILL ONGOING.

[05:10:05]

FULLER, PEAK ENGINEERING, SWI, ADORA WATSON, ARDURA, WSP AND SPEEDY AND ASSOCIATES BEGAN ON THE GRANDVIEW DRIVE RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT IN FALL 2023.

EAGLE MOUNTAIN CONSTRUCTION WAS SELECTED THROUGH A QUALIFICATIONS BASED SELECTION FORM.

THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK, ALSO KNOWN AS CMR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PHASE SERVICES FOR THE SUITE OF PROJECTS.

WE ARE NEARING COMPLETION OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF GRANDVIEW PHASE ONE UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS AND HAVE BEGUN CONSTRUCTION ON THE GRANDVIEW PHASE TWO ROADWAY AND ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS PORTION OF THAT PROJECT.

WE HAVE STARTED CONSTRUCTION OF THE CEDAR TO LINDA VISTA CHANNEL PHASE ONE FRANCHISE UTILITIES, AND I'M SURE YOU'RE ALL AWARE THAT WE HAVE STARTED CONSTRUCTION ON THE LINDA VISTA CROSSING PROJECT THIS WEEK WITH THE ROAD CLOSURE ON LINDA VISTA DRIVE BETWEEN PARADISE AND ADRIAN.

THIS CLOSURE HAS RESULTED IN ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC CONGESTION IN THE AREA OF NORTH CEDAR LOCKETT INTERSECTION.

FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH OUR TRANSPORTATION SECTION AND STREET SECTION ON IMPROVEMENTS TO THE OLD CEDAR LOCKETT SIGNAL TIMING, AND POSSIBLY IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SIGNAL ITSELF TO HELP WITH TRAFFIC CONGESTION IN THIS AREA AT SCHOOL DROP OFF AND PICK UP TIMES.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE LINDA VISTA ROAD CLOSURE WILL BE IN PLACE FROM NOW UNTIL THE SPRING OF NEXT YEAR.

THE DURATION OF THIS ROWE CLOSURE IS NECESSARY TO COMPLETE AS MUCH OF THE IMPROVEMENTS AS POSSIBLE WITHIN LINDA VISTA THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SUITE OF PROJECTS.

PRIOR TO THE CLOSURE OF THE FOURTH CEDAR LOCKETT INTERSECTION OVER FUZZED SUMMER BREAK OF NEXT YEAR FOR THE LOCKETT CEDAR ROUNDABOUT PROJECT DELIVERED BY ADA.

THE IMPROVEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUITE OF PROJECTS WITHIN LINDA VISTA INCLUDE GAS MAIN RELOCATIONS FOR THE LINDA VISTA CROSSING PROJECT, WATER MAIN REALIGNMENTS FOR THE LINDA VISTA CROSSING PROJECT.

SEWER MAIN REALIGNMENTS FROM GRANDVIEW TO JUST EAST OF ADRIAN FOR BOTH LINDA VISTA CROSSING AND THE WEDGE.

WATER MAIN REALIGNMENTS FROM GRANDVIEW TO PARADISE FOR THE WEDGE PROJECT.

A 60 INCH STORM DRAIN INSTALLATION FROM THE WEDGE DETENTION BASIN.

DETENTION BASIN, WHICH IS ACROSS FROM CEDAR SAFEWAY, ALL THE WAY UP TO THE LINDA VISTA CROSSING FOR THE WEDGE AND A 24 INCH STORM DRAIN INSTALLATION FOR THE OUTLET OF THE WEDGE DETENTION BASIN TO CONNECT TO THE EXISTING STORM DRAIN INFRASTRUCTURE IN CEDAR FOR THE WEDGE PROJECT.

THE ANTICIPATED CONSTRUCTION DURATION FOR THE ENTIRE SUITE OF PROJECTS IS FROM THE START OF CONSTRUCTION IN THE FALL OF 2023, AND IS ANTICIPATED TO BE COMPLETE PRIOR TO THE MONSOON SEASON OF 2026.

AND THAT IS IT FOR SPRUCE THIS COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? SO HOW LONG DID YOU SAVE THE LINDA VISTA? VISTA CLOSURE IS GOING TO BE NOW UNTIL SPRING OF NEXT YEAR.

BECAUSE THERE ARE THERE'S MULTIPLE PROJECTS THAT ARE BEING COMPLETED WITH A LOT OF UNDERGROUND INFRASTRUCTURE.

ALL THE WATER AND SEWER MAIN REPLACEMENTS IN THERE, AS WELL AS THE NEW 60 INCH STORM DRAIN FROM THE WHICH DETENTION BASIN UP TO LINDA VISTA OR UP TO.

THAT'S WHAT I HAD HEARD YOU SAY, BUT I THOUGHT MAYBE I WAS.

YOU WERE HOPING I WAS GETTING CONFUSED.

SO WE'LL BE DOING A LOT OF OUTREACH AND COMMUNICATION, RIGHT? YEAH. AND A LOT HAS GONE OUT THUS FAR.

YEP. AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'LL BE HITTING ON AT NEXT WEEK'S COMMUNITY MEETING FOR SURE.

WE HAVE A SLIDE OR SLIDE PREPARED JUST FOR THIS.

WE HAVE TO DISCUSS THIS.

SO. AND THEN WE'VE HAD VARIABLE MESSAGE BOARDS OUT.

WE'VE SENT OUT, I THINK, TWO DIFFERENT NOTICES THAT HAD THIS INFORMATION ON IT.

IT'S GONE IN OUR WEEKLY NEWSLETTER.

AND HAVE GONE OUT THROUGH SEVERAL DIFFERENT PRESS RELEASES AND SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS HERE THROUGH THE CITY.

SO ONE LAST QUESTION ON THAT SO FAR.

WE RECEIVED ONE IN PARTICULAR A MOM WITH A CHILD IN KINDERGARTEN, SO SHE CAN'T REALLY DROP OFF THE CHILD AND, YOU KNOW, SEND IT ON ITS WAY FOR A COUPLE OF BLOCKS.

BUT SHE SEEMED TO HAVE SOME GOOD SUGGESTIONS ON, I DON'T KNOW.

POLICE, CONTROLLING TRAFFIC AND OTHER THINGS.

BUT I KNOW A LOT OF TIMES WHEN WE GET EMAILS TO MAYOR AND COUNCIL AND THE APPROPRIATE DEPARTMENT KIND OF STEPS IN AND ANSWERS THOSE QUESTIONS FOR US, IS THAT STREAMING DOWN TO YOU FOLKS SO YOU CAN ANSWER AND THEN LET US SEE WHAT THE ANSWER IS SO WE CAN KEEP IT UP WITH.

WHAT THE THEME IS.

[05:15:01]

OH, SORRY. NO, I'LL GO AFTER YOU.

OH, THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW THAT HAVE MADE IT DOWN TO THE APPROPRIATE STAFF, INCLUDING MYSELF, TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS.

OKAY. YEAH, WELL, THANK YOU, AND THANKS FOR THE QUESTION.

YEAH, WE PASSED THOSE ON AND I THINK.

AS IT'S STILL EARLY IN THE, IN THE CLOSURE PROCESS AND SOME THINGS ARE WORK IN PROGRESS.

CHIEF MUSSELMAN'S BEEN CONTACTED.

THANK THANK YOU TO TO THOSE WHO ORCHESTRATED THAT.

THERE'S BEEN MORE OF A POLICE PRESENCE OUT THERE EARLY IN THE IN THE SCHOOL, KIDS ARE ARRIVING.

STREETS AND HAVE AND ENGINEERING HAVE BEEN CONTACTED ABOUT THE LIGHTS AND POSSIBLY MAKING SOME CHANGES.

AND I THINK THOSE ARE ALSO A WORK IN PROGRESS.

AND SCOTT OR JEFF BAUMAN CAN CAN SPEAK TO THAT OR CORRECT ME IF I GET ANYTHING WRONG HERE.

THAT'S GOING TO BE ONGOING FOR A BIT.

AND UNTIL WE CAN GET IT A LITTLE BIT MORE DIALED IN, ARE WORKING WITH FUSD AND COORDINATING THAT.

I THINK.

WITHIN. IN THE NEAR TERM, WE SHOULD BE IN POSITION TO DO SOME RESPONSE EMAILS TO LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING.

IF WE WERE TO RESPOND RIGHT NOW, IT WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, THANK YOU FOR YOUR EMAIL AND WE'RE LOOKING INTO THIS RIGHT AWAY, BUT WE ARE WORKING ON IT.

AND I THINK ONCE WE HAVE SOME DEFINITIVES, YOU KNOW, WE'LL DO A LITTLE MORE OUTREACH ON THAT.

SCOTT, ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD TO THAT, PLEASE? NO, IF I CAN, ELI. GREAT JOB.

AND I, I THINK THIS IS THE DIFFICULTY OF LARGE SCALE INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS IN THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT.

AND WE KNEW IT WAS COMING CLOSE COORDINATION WITH FUSD.

AND I THINK THAT'S WHEN WE'RE SEEING OUR BIGGEST CHALLENGES FROM RESIDENTS IS DURING DROP OFF AND PICK UP TIME.

WE HAVE NOT ONLY FUSD, WE'VE GOT AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, A MIDDLE SCHOOL WITH DIFFERENT START TIMES.

END TIMES. YOU'VE GOT ALL THE CHARTERS AND THE CHURCH PROPERTIES NORTH OF LINDA VISTA.

WE'VE GOT PINE FOREST AT THE CORNER OF FOURTH, AS WELL AS C.C.C.

JUST TO THE SOUTH. AND THEN WITH EVERY ADJUSTMENT WE MAKE, WHICH THEY ARE DILIGENTLY WORKING THROUGH AT EACH SHIFT AND EACH OBSERVATION, IT AFFECTS SOMETHING ELSE.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE CAN MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO TIMING AT FOURTH STREET OR AT CEDAR AND WEST, BUT WE START TO PUSH IMPACTS THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM.

SO WHAT WE HAVE SEEN THIS WEEK, AND I THINK THIS IS A POSITIVE, IS WE ARE SEEING SOME RESIDENTS UNDERSTAND AND TAKE SERIOUSLY THE CLOSURE.

WE HAD A LOT OF MISBEHAVIOR MONDAY, TUESDAY.

I THINK NOW PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN IT SERIOUSLY AND STARTED TO FIND DIFFERENT ROUTES.

SO THEY'RE STARTING TO USE PLANNING.

WE'RE SEEING TRAFFIC THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOODS.

THOSE WILL HAVE TO MONITOR BECAUSE NOW THERE'S IMPACTS TO DIFFERENT AREAS.

BUT I THINK FROM HISTORICAL KNOWLEDGE AND WHAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE PAST, BEHAVIORS DO CHANGE AND THEY WILL MODIFY A LITTLE BIT.

GREAT CONVERSATION WITH FUSD YESTERDAY.

THEY'RE MAKING ANNOUNCEMENTS TO THEIR PARENTS.

THEY'RE TRYING TO FOCUS ON CARPOOLING, BUT IT WILL TAKE EVERYONE TO KEEP MOVING THE NEEDLE ON THIS.

AND IT'S GOOD TRAINING FOR THE ROUNDABOUT THAT WILL BE COMING.

BUT IT'S IT'S JUST DIFFERENT.

AND I DON'T WANT TO UNDERSCORE THAT IT'S ACCEPTABLE.

IT'S JUST PEOPLE HAVE TO CHANGE SOME BEHAVIORS.

AND MY HOPE IS WE EVEN HAVE SOME SHUTDOWNS WITHIN THAT YEAR LONG CLOSURE FOR WINTER AND FOR STORM RESPONSE.

MY HOPE IS WE HAVE GREAT WEATHER, NO STORMS. WE CAN COMPRESS THAT CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND TRY TO SHORTEN IT UP.

BUT. RIGHT NOW.

IT IS WHAT IT IS. AND WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR EVERYONE'S PATIENCE, BUT I THINK SAM SAID IT KIND OF IN ONE OF OUR ENGINEERING MEETINGS MONDAY.

SOME HAVE TO TURN. WHAT'D YOU SAY? YOU HAVE TO TURN LEFT TO GO RIGHT? AND SO SOME GUYS JUST TURN LEFT TO GO RIGHT.

AND WE WERE JUST IMPLYING THAT RIGHT NOW FANNING'S GOING TO BE A BIG TARGET.

STEVE'S WILL BE, PATTERSON WILL BE.

AND WE'LL KEEP WORKING ON IT.

BUT PD WAS GREAT ASSISTANCE EARLIER IN THE WEEK, AND THEN WE STARTED TO FIGURE OUT IT ACTUALLY MIGHT HAVE BEEN CAUSING SOME MORE DIFFICULTIES.

SO WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE THAT UP A LITTLE BIT.

WE'LL SLOW DOWN MORE.

YEAH. THEY STARTED TO GAWK AT THINGS, AND THEN THE SCHOOL THOUGHT THERE WAS A RESPONSE GOING ON.

SO SO WE'LL SORT THROUGH THAT.

AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S BEEN GREAT, BUT IT'S RESOURCES.

AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, THOSE SIGNALS WILL WORK.

AND WE'RE LOOKING AT BUS DATA SO WE CAN KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE FIELD.

AND THOSE ARE INFORMED DECISIONS.

BUT WE NEED A WEEK OR TWO TO KEEP WORKING OUT THE KINKS.

AND WE'RE COMMITTED TO THAT.

AND IF WE DON'T, WE'LL JUST KEEP HEARING ABOUT IT.

SO WE'LL KEEP WORKING ON IT.

I APPRECIATE THAT AND JUST GETTING THAT INFORMATION TO US, THAT'S.

SURE THAT. ABSOLUTELY.

I THINK ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I'VE HAD A LOT IS BIKE AND PET ACCESS ON LINDA VISTA, AND THAT THAT IS CONTINUING.

CORRECT. SO PEOPLE COULD STILL.

YEAH. YEAH. THANK YOU.

YEAH, YEAH. OUR TRAFFIC CONTROL PLAN IS ACCOMMODATING BIKING PET ACCESS THROUGH THROUGH THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION THERE ON LINDA VISTA.

YEAH. THERE COULD BE A DAY IN THE FUTURE WHERE THEY HAVE TO CLOSE IT FOR A WEEK OR A DAY WHEN THEY'RE MAKING THE CONNECTIONS.

BUT I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.

WE'RE ALL COMMITTED TO MAINTAINING AS MUCH ACCESS AS POSSIBLE.

AND ONCE WE'RE OUT OF THERE, IT'S GOING TO LOOK BEAUTIFUL.

DON'T TEAR UP CEDAR STREET DOWNTOWN.

DO THE ROUNDABOUT. BUT THE BENEFIT WILL OUTWEIGH THE PAIN.

[05:20:05]

WE GOT TO STAY FOCUSED ON THE INTENT, WHICH IS TO MITIGATE SHORT TERM OR LONG TERM IMPACTS FROM POST-WILDFIRE FLOOD, TO MAKE GRANDVIEW LOOK LIKE SOMETHING WITHOUT THREE FEET OF SANDBAGS.

THAT'S THE GOAL.

SO WE'RE JUST CONTINUING TO FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE AND EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION BY ELI SARAH LANGLEY'S OFFICE.

WE GOT DOWN 100 TREES LAST WEEK AND WE REALLY HAD ONE CALL.

THAT'S GOOD COMMUNICATION.

PEOPLE ARE PAYING ATTENTION. SO DOOR TO DOOR IS WORKING AND ARE WORKING.

GOOD CREDIT TO THE ENGINEERING TEAM ALL INVOLVED THAT ARE REALLY GETTING THE WORD OUT.

SO I'M REALLY PROUD OF THEIR EFFORTS.

SURE YOU DON'T WANT TO GO MONDAY? YEAH. HAVE YOU CHANGED YOUR MIND SINCE WE LAST TALKED ABOUT? WE DO HAVE A PUBLIC MEETING, AS ELI MENTIONED MONDAY NIGHT.

THOSE ARE WELL ATTENDED.

AND THAT'S ALSO ELI'S LAST DAY.

IT IS. WE'RE GOING TO MAKE HIM SEVEN.

YOU STAYING IN TOWN? OH, YEAH. YEAH. STILL HERE? SO WE COULD GET YOU BACK AT SOME POINT.

WAY TO GO, MAYOR. I LIKE THAT FEEL GOOD OPTIMISM.

THANK YOU ALL. JUST A QUICK COMMENT.

THE DURATION OF THE LINDA VISTA SHUTDOWN SEEMS A LITTLE LONGER THAN IT HAS TO BE.

I'LL ADMIT, I HAVEN'T BEEN INVOLVED IN ALL THE LITTLE DECISIONS THAT LED UP TO THAT.

JUST A GUT REACTION.

THAT SEEMS LIKE A LONG TIME.

AND IF I MAY, AND OTHERS CAN COMMENT, BUT I THINK SCOTT HIT IT ON, ON THE HEAD.

THIS IS A SUITE OF SEVEN PROJECTS.

MANY OF THEM ARE BEING DONE THIS LOCATION.

OR IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO IT.

IT'S NOT ONE PROJECT, IT'S SEVERAL.

AND I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE PART OF THE IMPORTANT MESSAGING.

GOING OUT IS NOT A SINGULAR PROJECT.

PEOPLE WILL AUTOMATICALLY THINK.

DOES IT TAKE YOU THAT LONG? AND THE ANSWER IS, WELL, MAYBE NOT IF IT WAS JUST ONE PROJECT, BUT IT'S SEVERAL PROJECTS AND THEY DO HAVE TO WORK IN TANDEM OR IN SYNC WITH EACH OTHER AND.

IT'S THIS DISRUPTION.

YOU KNOW, IT GOES BACK TO MY OPENING COMMENTS THIS THIS MORNING.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION ON THE HORIZON.

THIS IS HAPPENING NOW.

BUT IT'S A PRECURSOR TO OTHER THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO BE EVEN BIGGER AND MORE DISRUPTIVE.

I THAT'S NOT A FUN THING TO SAY OR HEAR.

BUT IT IS A PRECURSOR OF WHAT'S TO COME.

YOU KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT LOCKETT AND FORTH AND LINDA VISTA AND, YOU KNOW, TAKE THAT CONVERSATION TO MILTON AND THE FIVE POINTS AREA AND MAKES YOUR HEAD EXPLODE. I ACTUALLY THINK I'M GOING TO MOVE OUT OF TOWN, BUT I'LL COME BACK IN FIVE YEARS.

YEAH. GREAT.

GOOD COMMENT. THANK YOU.

THANKS, ELI. WE APPRECIATE IT.

YEAH, RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, SO THIS IS THE DOWNTOWN LATERAL STORM DRAIN PROJECT.

IT'S THERE OFF OF SANTA FE AVENUE, RIGHT WHERE SITGREAVES AND SANTA FE INTERSECT.

AND IT GOES TO THE WEST, DOWN TO ABOUT GRAND CANYON AVENUE.

SO THIS PROJECT WILL PROVIDE ABOUT 1000FT OF NEW STORM DRAIN INFRASTRUCTURE, CATCH BASINS, INLETS, NATURAL CONDUIT IN MANHOLE JUNCTIONS.

SO THIS PROJECT WILL COMPLEMENT THE DOWNTOWN MILE AS WELL AS THE RIO DE FLAG.

WHEN THE RIO DE FLAG WAS DESIGNED FOR STAGE TWO.

THERE WAS A SIDE DRAIN, WHICH IS THIS PROJECT WOULD COME IN AND CONNECT TO THE NEW UNDERGROUND BOX CULVERT RIGHT THERE BY CITY HALL.

SO THIS PROJECT WILL COMPLEMENT THE RIO, ALSO THE DOWNTOWN MILE.

WHEN THEY BUILD THE NEW BRIDGE THEY GO THROUGH THAT INFRASTRUCTURE.

WE WILL ALSO PICK UP RUNOFF THAT COMES DOWN SANTA FE AND THEN GOES DOWN THE SLIP RAMP AND THEN FLOODS THE UNDERPASS.

SO IF EVERYBODY REMEMBERS THE CARS, THEY'RE STUCK THERE FLOATING.

THIS PROJECT WILL ALLEVIATE SOME OF THAT FLOODING.

THIS PROJECT RIGHT NOW IS BUDGETED AT 3 MILLION.

YOU HAVE 1.2 MILLION COMING FROM A 595 AND.

INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT, WHICH IS MANAGED BY THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS.

SO WHEN WE HAD THE MEETING WITH THE ARMY CORPS AT THE END OF JANUARY, THE VERY FIRST 15, 20 MINUTES WAS WHEN WE SIGNED THE

[05:25:02]

AND THEN JUST LAST WEEK WE WERE IN FRONT OF YOU TO RATIFY THAT AGREEMENT.

SO THIS PROJECT IS MOVING FORWARD.

WE HAVE FUNDING FROM THE FEDERAL LEVEL.

IT'S ONLY GOING TO COST US $400.

SO THAT IS OUR SHARE FOR THE $400.

YEAH. VICE MAYOR.

RIGHT ON. THANK YOU FOR SIGNING THAT AGREEMENT.

THAT'S 400,000.

THAT IS OUR MATCH TO THAT GRANT.

BUT THEN THE REMAINING 1.4 IS CITY FUNDS.

SO 1.4 MILLION WILL BE ADDITIONAL CITY FUNDING FOR THAT PROJECT.

SO OUR DESIGN RIGHT NOW IS GOING TO START LATER THIS YEAR AND THEN PROBABLY WRAP INTO THE FIRST PART OF 2025, AND THEN CONSTRUCTION WILL TAKE OVER FROM THERE. WE'RE EXPECTING MAYBE A YEAR AND A HALF TO COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION.

SO IN 2026 WE SHOULD BE COMPLETE.

AND THAT PPA THAT WAS SIGNED, THE TIMELINE IS WE NEED TO BE COMPLETE WITH THIS 2027.

SO AS OF RIGHT NOW, WE'RE PROJECTING TO MEET THAT TIMELINE.

AND THIS. SO THIS PROJECT IS KIND OF MOVING FORWARD AND JUST OPEN FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU. YES.

SO THAT CONCLUDES OUR SLIDES FROM WATER SERVICES.

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY LAST QUESTIONS.

I'VE GOT A FEW THINGS GOING ON.

DO YOU? A COUPLE THINGS, YES.

I'M NOT SURE WHO'S NEXT ON THE AGENDA, BUT ANY QUESTIONS FOR WATER SERVICES? ROUND OF APPLAUSE. THANK YOU.

WATER SERVICES.

SERIES WHICH ARE LIKE THIS.

IT'S BEEN. ANYBODY HANGING IN THERE.

YOU'VE HAD A LOT OF INFORMATION TODAY.

THIS IS THE PART OF THE DISCUSSION WHERE WE STEP BACK A BIT.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE PROJECT SPECIFIC ON THIS UNLESS YOU WANT.

YOU HAVE IN YOUR PACKETS THE TEN YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN OR PROGRAM.

WE USED TO NOT SPEND A LOT OF TIME WITH THIS.

AND THE PREVIOUS COUNCIL LIKED TO HAVE SOME DISCUSSION ON THIS.

SO WE'RE CONTINUING THAT PRACTICE NOW.

WE ARE NOT GOING TO WALK THROUGH THE PROJECTS.

THERE ARE MANY.

YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE MATERIALS.

BUT AS WE LOOK AHEAD, OTHER THAN THE THINGS YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT TODAY, WHICH ARE.

IT WAS ENTIRELY FUNDED OR PARTIALLY FUNDED AND SCHEDULED.

AND THEY'RE IN THE HOPPER.

THEY'RE HAPPENING. THE PROJECTS THAT ARE OUT THERE ON THE HORIZON THAT ARE NOT NECESSARILY SLATED AND OR FUNDED.

SO AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO WEIGH IN ON THESE IF THERE ARE THINGS THAT YOU FEEL SHOULD BE A HIGHER PRIORITY AND SO FORTH, THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO TALK ABOUT THAT.

JUST A CLARIFICATION THERE.

THE FIVE YEAR CIP PLANS AND I'LL SPEAK FOR RICK TADDER, NOT THE TEN YEAR CORRECT FIVE YEAR YEAR.

THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION. DO YOU HAVE THINGS FUNDED? WE KNOW.

OR THIS MAY NOT EVEN BE ON A PRIORITY LIST YET, BUT THE MILTON ALTERNATIVE BIKE PROJECT THAT WOULD GO ALONG.

REARDON. IT'S.
