THESE ARE THE ONES THAT COULD MAKE IT A COUPLE OF HOMERS TOO.

THEY'RE IN THE HEB AREAS WHERE THEY LIVE.
SO Y'ALL CAME FROM THE HEB AREA? YEAH.
WELL, THANK, WELL THANK YOU FOR COMING.

AND, UH, JOHN, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY? I'D LIKE TO READ A, A, A RECOGNITION, CONGRATULATIONS.
AND, UM, HAVE Y'ALL ALL COME UP AFTER THAT.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING OR YOU'D LIKE TO, TO SAY ABOUT THE TIME THAT YOU'VE BEEN HERE, WHAT YOU THINK WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED? I'M STILL IN A STATE OF SHOCK FROM IT.
I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THAT A SKINNY LITTLE KID FROM BENJAMIN, TEXAS IS WHO'S WHO IN AMERICA.
IT'S A LONG WAY FROM THE COUNTRY TOWN.
BUT I WANT TO THANK EACH ONE OF YOU, THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT JUDGE, YOU'VE GIVEN ME THE OPPORTUNITY.
MEET SOME OF THE BEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.
I HAVE MET PEOPLE WHO WERE WITH MY DAD IN ITALY IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR.
SAME UNIT, THINGS THAT NEVER WOULD'VE HAPPENED.
AND I GOT TO MEET TWO GUYS WHO WERE 19 45, 2 FEET APART ON THE GAN BRIDGE.
THAT WAS PART OF THE END OF WORLD WAR II.
IT WAS THE LAST BRIDGE ACROSS THE RYAN RIVER.
THEY WERE STANDING THERE FIRING THEIR RIFLES AND THEN HERE THEY ARE.
AT THAT TIME IT WAS 67 YEARS LATER, THEY WERE IN THIS LITTLE OFFICE IN THE COURTHOUSE ANNEX.
THEY WERE GOOD FRIENDS FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.
BUT IT'S BEEN A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO GET UP EVERY MORNING AND GO MEET ONE OF THE VETERANS OR SOMEONE IN THEIR FAMILY AND DO MY BEST FOR THEM.
AND THAT'S WHAT THE VETERANS' OFFICE IS ALL ABOUT.
IT'S NOT ABOUT ME, IT'S ABOUT THEM AND WHAT WE CAN GET FOR THEM FROM THIS CONFUSING, ASTRONOMICALLY CONFUSING DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS.
[00:05:02]
AND WE'LL WORK 'EM THROUGH IT ONE STEP AT A TIME.THERE'S THREE APPEALS AND I'VE TAKEN 'EM ALL THE WAY TO THE THIRD ONE IN DC AND WHEN WE DO THAT, MOST OF THE TIME WE WIN THAT APPEAL.
BUT JUST GETTING THEM TO STICK WITH IT, IT'S A GREAT THING IF YOU GET A HUNDRED PERCENT DISABILITY IN TEXAS FROM THE VA, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY PROPERTY TAX ON YOUR HOMESTEAD.
AND TO SEE THOSE EYES LIGHT UP, THE HUSBAND AND WIFE WHEN THEY FIND THEY DON'T HAVE TO PAY 5, 6, 7, $8,000 A YEAR.
AND I APPRECIATE YOU GIVING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY.
I'VE LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT.
WELL, IT'S BEEN OUR HONOR AND THE IMPACT THAT YOU'VE MADE ON THIS COUNTY AND THE VETERANS AND, AND THERE'S QUITE A FEW, I DON'T HAVE THAT NUMBER IN FRONT OF ME.
IT MIGHT BE LISTED IN HERE, BUT IT'S QUITE A FEW.
IT'S A SIGNIFICANT COMMUNITY OF VETERANS, UH, THAT HAVE MOVED HERE.
THAT YOU'VE MADE A HUGE IMPACT IN THEIR LIVES.
AND I HEAR THAT ALL THE TIME OF, OF THE COMPLIMENTS THAT THEY GIVE AND THE PRAISE THAT THEY GIVE AND THE, UH, EXPOSURE THAT THEY COME THAT THE VETERAN'S OFFICE.
AND THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO.
AND I'M SURE THIS COURT HAS A LOT TO SAY BEFORE, IS THERE ANY WAY OF Y'ALL WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND SAY ANYTHING? THAT WAS A VERY STRONG STATEMENT.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY ANYTHING? NO.
HE LIKE SOMETHING HE DOESN'T WANT TO DO THAT YOU ONE RIGHT OVER HERE.
I'M PRESENTLY THE COMMANDER OF POST 1 63 AMERICAN LEGION HERE IN CLARK COUNTY.
I'VE KNOWN JOHN FOR MANY YEARS.
UH, HE HAS BECOME A FRIEND AND I KNOW FOR A FACT, AND I'M SPEAKING FOR MANY, MANY VETERANS IN THIS COUNTY WHO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE JOB THAT YOU HAVE DONE, INCLUDING MYSELF.
BUT, UH, ON THE DAY I WAS IN THE OFFICE WITH HIM AND HE SAID, YOU NEED TO BE THERE MONDAY.
AND HE WENT TO TELL ME ABOUT THE WHO'S WHO AWARD.
AND I JOKINGLY ASKED HIM, I SAID, IS THAT KINDA LIKE RIPLEY'S? BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
ANYWAY, I'LL THANK THIS MAN FOR HIS SERVICE.
RIGHT NOW IT IS JUST ALMOST OVERWHELMING AND HAVE A HARD TIME ACCEPTING THAT THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
BUT IT'S FOR YOU GENTLEMEN HAVING ME, THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH THE VETERANS AND I APPRECIATE THAT VERY, VERY MUCH.
WE APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR PARKER COUNTY OVER ALL THESE YEARS.
ANYBODY ELSE WOULD LIKE TO SAY ANYTHING? LET'S, LET'S SEE WHAT THE PLAQUE HAS TO SAY.

I'D BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T BRING UP THE, I'M JUST THINKING ABOUT THE, THE ONE AND ONLY DEPARTMENT THAT WE HAD, I BELIEVE THAT BUDGET YEAR, AND IT WASN'T WAS THIS LAST YEAR OR WAS IT LAST YEAR THAT HE ACTUALLY JUST, IT WAS, IT WAS LIKE JUST INCREASING PAPERCLIPS THAT SET THE TONE FOR THE BUDGET.

THE PARKER COUNTY HYDROLOGY 2050 COMMITTEE AND INTERVIEWED BOTH FIRMS ON JUNE 28TH, 2024 AND RECOMMEND AWARD TO FRIESA NICHOLS, INC, INC.
UM, AND ONE OF THE REASONS WHY IS BECAUSE OF THE, WITH THE RFQ THAT WAS DONE FOR THE UPPER TRINITY WATER DISTRICT.
SOME OF THE, THE LEGWORK HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE AND DATA HAS ALREADY BEEN, UM, ACCRUED FOR FROM THAT RFQ THAT WILL PUSH US FURTHER AHEAD IN THE STUDY FOR PARKER COUNTY.
SO BOTH, BOTH FIRMS WERE WELL REPRESENTED AND, AND, AND COULD TOTALLY DO THE WORK.
BUT WHAT, BECAUSE OF THAT DATA, WE DECIDED, OR THE COMMITTEE DECIDED TO GO RECOMMEND FREEZING NICHOLS.
MOTION MADE BY, UH, COMMISSIONER HALES, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.
ANY OF THE DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES FIVE.
[5.A. Discuss/Take action on ongoing reporting of bond projects to Commissioners Court by Freese & Nichols. (Chris Bosco / Commissioner Holt)]
GOOD.ITEM FIVE ON UPDATE ON TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS.
NOW I DIDN'T SEE YOU BACK THERE.
I WAS CHECKING AND SEE ON ITEM FIVE.
A DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION ON ONGOING REPORTING OF BOND PROJECTS TO COMMISSIONER'S COURT BY FREEZING NICHOLS.
UH, CHRIS BOSS, GOOD FREEZER NICHOLS.
UM, SO WANTED TO GIVE A, UH, THIS, WE ACTUALLY PUT THIS TOGETHER, YOU KNOW, WE USUALLY GIVE THIS UPDATE THE FIRST OF EVERY MONTH, BUT I WAS ABLE, UNABLE TO ATTEND THE LAST COURT, SO I WANTED TO GO THROUGH THE UPDATE, UH, FOR JULY 8TH.
UM, SO ONE OF THE ELEMENTS, UH, WE HAVE COMPLETED THE POWER BI DASHBOARD.
I ACTUALLY EMAILED THAT TO YOU ALL THIS MORNING.
UH, SO WHAT WE DID IS WE EMBEDDED IT IN A SHAREPOINT SITE.
SO YOU DON'T NEED ANY SPECIAL SOFTWARE.
UH, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO KIND OF TOGGLE AND, AND KIND OF SEE THE, THE PRICE OF EACH PROJECT.
AND SO, UM, YOU, YOU CAN KIND OF SEE A IMAGE THERE.
THAT'S WHAT THE DASHBOARD LOOKS LIKE.
SO YOU CAN CLICK PER PRECINCT, PER TYPE OF PROJECT.
UH, AND, AND IT'S CUSTOMIZABLE.
SO, UH, AS YOU KIND OF WORK THROUGH IT, IF YOU, UH, HAVE SUGGESTED CHANGES, UH, WE CAN, WE CAN GET THOSE INCORPORATED.
UH, YOU CAN ALSO VIEW IT ON YOUR PHONE AS WELL, SIR, I WANTED TO, SORRY TO INTERRUPT.
UM, WHEN I TRIED TO ACCESS IT THIS MORNING, IT WAS ONE LOGIN INFO FOR OUTLOOK.
[00:20:01]
DO YOU KNOW IF THAT'S OKAY? YEAH.WE WERE TRYING TO PUT IT INTO SHAREPOINT SO WOULDN'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM, BUT NO, I UNDERSTAND.
SOUNDS LIKE I NEED TO FIGURE THAT OUT.
I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT.
TO SEE WHERE I WAS SCREWING UP.
UM, YOU KNOW, THE IDEA IS, UH, YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD THESE CONVERSATIONS WANT WANTING TO BE MORE TRANSPARENT WITH, YOU KNOW, VERSUS Y'ALL WAITING, UH, EACH MONTH TO GET A UPDATE THAT Y'ALL WOULD HAVE THE LIVE, UH, INFORMATION.
AND SO THAT'S THE GOAL OF THE POWER BI AS Y'ALL SEE THE DATA DAILY.
UH, AND IN ADDITION ON THAT SHAREPOINT SITE, THE, ALL THE PROJECT SCHEDULES ARE THERE.
THOSE ARE OF COURSE, COURSE KIND OF FIXED PDFS, BUT, UH, THE POWER BI IS, UH, AN UPDATED DASHBOARD.
BUT I'LL, I'LL FIGURE OUT WHAT THE, THE ISSUE IS THERE.
UM, IN TERMS OF PRECINCT UPDATES, UH, IN, IN PRECINCT ONE, UH, BEEN HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH TECH STOCK ON FM 33 25, UM, ABOUT THE FEASIBILITY STUDY THERE.
AND, UM, AND IT, IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY HAVE AN INTEREST IN COMPLETING THAT STUDY.
SO THAT WILL BE, UH, YOU KNOW, SAVINGS WHERE THE, THE COUNTY WOULDN'T HAVE TO EXPEND THOSE FUNDS.
UH, AND SO THAT'S, UH, A KEY ELEMENT.
UH, WE'RE, UM, GONE PRETTY FAR IN TERMS OF LIKE, UH, IDENTIFYING THE RIGHT OF WAY AND COORDINATING WITH THE DEVELOPER ON THAT PROJECT, UH, AS WELL AS ADVANCING, UH, MIDWAY, UH, J AND WOODY AND THOMAS ROAD, UH, PRECINCT TWO.
SO ONE OF THE ITEMS ON THE AGENDA TODAY IS THE CARTER ROAD ADVANCED FUNDING AGREEMENT.
UH, SO THAT WAS A, A PROJECT THAT COMMISSIONER HOLT HAD BEEN WORKING WITH TECH STOCK ON.
AND, UH, SO WHAT WE HAVE IN A DIFFERENT AGENDA ITEM IS THE APPROVAL OF THAT AGREEMENT WHERE, UH, THE COUNTY IS, UH, WOULD BE FUNDING THE, UH, THE ENGINEERING PREP AND THEN TEXO WILL PAY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND THE MANAGEMENT OF CONSTRUCTION.
UH, BEEN WORKING WITH HALF AN ASSOCIATES ON, UH, THEIR SCOPE AND FEE FOR THE FM SEVEN 30 EXTENSION I'VE RECEIVED THAT WE'RE KIND OF IN THE REVIEW STAGE AND PLAN TO, UH, BRING THAT TO THE NEXT COURT.
UH, WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A COORDINATION MEETING WITH THE CITY AND COMMISSIONER HOLT AND ARE MAKING SOME UPDATES THAT THAT CAME OUT OF THAT MEETING.
UH, JOHNSON BEND AND GREEN ACRES, UH, WE'VE GOTTEN THE APPRAISAL AND, UH, RELOCATION PACKAGES FOR CONSIDERATION AT TODAY'S COURT.
UH, AND THEN ELLIS CREEK SUBDIVISION, UH, WE'RE ABOUT READY TO GET THAT ADVERTISING OUT TO BID.
THAT'LL BE THE FIRST PROJECT THAT, UH, ACTUALLY, UH, BREAKS GROUND IN CONSTRUCTION.
UH, AND THEN, UH, THE FINAL KIND OF, UH, BUTTON UP THE FINAL ELEMENTS OF FM NINE 20 AND WILLOW CREEK.
THE CONTRACTOR HAD TO MAKE SOME, UH, CHANGES THAT FOR SOME ELEMENTS THAT, UM, NEEDED REPAIR BEFORE, UH, COMPLETING THAT.
WE'VE BEEN, UH, WORKING WITH, UH, GRAHAM AND ASSOCIATES, UH, AROUND SCOPING THE FRONTAGE ROADS.
UH, AS I MENTIONED IN PREVIOUS COURTS, UH, IT LOOKS LIKE TEX'S GONNA ACTUALLY DO THE SCHEMATIC WORK FOR THAT.
SO THE, THE WORK THAT GRAHAM WOULD DO WOULD BE THE FINAL PLANS ONCE THE SCHEMATIC IS DONE.
SO THAT ONE'S GONNA BE ON A LITTLE DIFFERENT TIMELINE, UH, BUT WE'LL HAVE SOME SAVINGS TO THE COUNTY IN THE, IN THE FACT THAT T STOCK'S GONNA DO THAT.
AND THAT INITIAL WORK, UH, THE EAST WEST CON UH, CONNECTOR, UH, WE HAD SOME DIFFERENT ALIGNMENTS THAT I PRESENTED IN PAST COURT AND I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH A DEVELOPER TO, UH, IDENTIFY THE ALIGNMENT THAT WORKS FOR HIM AND, AND DOESN'T, UH, ADD COST TO THE COUNTY IN TERMS OF THE BRIDGE OPTIONS.
'CAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF, UM, PRETTY LENGTHY BRIDGES ON THIS PROJECT.
AND SO WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THE BEST, UH, AREA TO CROSS THE CREEK TO MINIMIZE THAT, UH, BRIDGE LENGTH, UH, RICK WILLIAMSON.
UM, SO WE'VE ADVANCED THE PLANS, UH, PRETTY FAR ALONG ON THAT.
AND, AND ACTUALLY, UH, DUSTIN HAD A MEETING WITH, UH, COMMISSIONER WALDEN AND THE CITY TO KIND OF GET INPUT, UH, AS WE'RE DEVELOPING THE DESIGN ON, ON THAT PROJECT.
UH, AND THEN GRAHAM IS CONTINUING TO WORK ON THE, UM, THE I 20 RAMP PROJECT.
UM, AND SO WE'RE KIND OF, UH, TRACKING ON SCHEDULE TO GET THE 30%, UH, PLANS, UH, SUBMITTED IN SEPTEMBER, UH, PRECINCT,
[00:25:01]
UH, FOUR.UM, WE'RE WORKING WITH TEON PERKINS ON THEIR SCOPE AND FEE FOR THE FM 1187 WIDENING, UH, THE BANKHEAD PROJECT.
WE'RE COORDINATING WITH DEVELOPERS ON, UH, THE RIGHT OF WAY NEEDS, UH, FOR THAT PROJECT, MAINLY AS IT CONNECTS INTO 1187, TRYING TO, UH, IMPROVE THAT INTERSECTION AND, AND REALLY JUST KIND OF WORKING.
UH, THERE'S A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT ALONG BANKHEAD OF GETTING THE RIGHT PLACE FOR THE ROAD.
AND WE CAN MINIMIZE, UH, RIGHT OF WAY ALONG BANKHEAD, UH, AND THEN OLD WEATHERFORD ROAD IS A, A PROJECT FOR, UH, CONSIDERING AWARD TODAY, UH, IN A DIFFERENT AGENDA ITEM.
UH, BUT THAT PROJECT WE'RE READY TO, TO GET GOING TO CONSTRUCTION.
UH, SO WITHOUT ANY QUESTIONS ON THE UPDATE, I, I DO WANT TO LOOKING AT THE, THE SCOPE OF SPECIFIC PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE THAT'S FORTHCOMING ON THE AGENDA.
I DO WANT TO ADD ON HERE, UH, JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT KIND OF THE WHAT NEXT THAT WE'VE BEEN ADDRESSING IN THAT.
UH, ONE OF THE THINGS, OBVIOUSLY WITH WANTING TO UPDATE OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S LATE.
THERE'S, THERE'S PLENTY OF THINGS TO DO BEFORE WE DO THAT, WHICH IS GONNA BE BUDGET FRIENDLY, UH, IS TO PUSH THAT OUT A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE THERE'S THINGS, THE WORK WE HAVE TO DO HERE, AND ONE OF 'EM IS THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN.
AND SO, UH, IT DOES ALIGN ITSELF WITH THIS AGENDA ITEM MORE THAN THE OTHERS.
IF YOU WOULD ADDRESS HOW YOU'RE GONNA DEAL WITH THAT, WITH EACH SPECIFIC COMMISSIONER ON UPDATING THAT THOROUGHFARE PLAN, BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT SIX, SEVEN YEARS OLD, AND THAT'S CRITICAL THAT WE GET THAT DONE, IF YOU WOULD ADDRESS THAT, CHRIS? UH, YES.
SO, UH, ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT'S KIND OF, UH, TRIGGERED IN TERMS OF, UH, UPDATING THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN IS, UH, COMMISSIONER HELL AND THE JUDGE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH, UH, DEVELOPERS AND LANDOWNERS IN PRECINCT FOUR.
UH, AND SO THERE'S, THERE'S A LOT OF, UM, CHANGES POTENTIALLY TO THE PLAN THERE THAT'S BOTH IN CITY OF FORT WORTH AND IN PARKER COUNTY.
UH, AND SO THE THINKING IS, UH, TO, UH, LOOK AT THE UPDATE OF THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN, KIND OF PER PRECINCT AND, UH, PRECINCT FOUR BEING THAT, THAT THERE'S A LOT OF ACTIVE, UH, CHANGING BEING CONSIDERED, UH, FOR THOSE THOROUGHFARES UH, IN PRECINCT ONE.
YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE ELEMENTS BACK WHEN WE DID THIS WAS, UH, YOU CAN KIND OF, YOU SEE THE EXTENSION OF 33 25, WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT WHERE CHURCH IS, BUT ACTUALLY, UH, CONTINUES, UH, TO GO NORTH.
AND, UM, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT'S NOT THE CURRENT PLAN WITH COG AND TECH STOCK, THE, THE KIND OF DASHED AREA THERE.
SO I THINK THAT'S AN AREA OF REVISITING WHAT THE ULTIMATE PLAN IS, UM, TO GET TO STATE HIGHWAY 1 99.
UH, I KNOW IN PRECINCT, UH, TWO, THERE'S, UH, WITH ALL THE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S HAPPENED SINCE THIS PLAN, UH, YOU KNOW, INTEREST IN LOOKING AT, AT THOSE THOROUGHFARES, DO THEY MAKE SENSE WHERE THEY ORIGINALLY PLANNED OR DO WE NEED TO MAKE A SHIFT? UH, THE NETWORK'S IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE IN, IN PRECINCT THREE, BUT THERE MIGHT BE SOME MINOR CHANGES, BUT THE THINKING IS LIKE EACH PRECINCT KIND OF HAS, UM, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY THE, THE MOST BEING IN PRECINCT FOUR, BUT MAYBE SOME MINOR CHANGES AND, AND ONE AND THREE AND, AND MORE OF A, A CHANGE IN TWO, BUT MAYBE GOING ON PRECINCT BY PRECINCT AND DOING, UH, SOME TOWN HALL MEETINGS IN THOSE AREAS, UH, TO COMMUNICATE ANY OF THAT CHANGE.
OKAY, SO THERE'S NO ACTION TO BE TAKEN ON ITEM A,
[5.B. Accept/Reject/Renew TB60 Old Weatherford Rd FM 3325 to Purple Thistle Lane. (Kim Rivas / Judge Deen)]
UH, WE'LL GO TO ITEM B ON EXCEPT REJECT RENEW TB 60 OLD WEATHERFORD FM ROAD FM 3 33 25 TO PURPLE THISTLE LANE.UH, IS THAT, IT'S, IT'S GOT KIM UNDER HERE, BUT I THINK THAT REALLY IS YOU TO ADDRESS.
I, I THINK I CAN SPEAK TO THIS ONE.
SO I WANTED, UH, TO KIND OF START WITH THIS COST SUMMARY.
'CAUSE UH, YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE PROJECT WHERE Y'ALL HAVE A PARTNERSHIP WITH, UH, NET COG ON FUNDING.
UH, AND WE KIND OF BEEN WORKING WITH HIM OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS ON THE DIFFERENT ASPECTS.
SO ONE THING TO NOTE IS COG HAS A SEPARATE AGREEMENT WITH, UH, THE ENGINEER.
UH, WHAT OUR ROLE HAS BEEN IS JUST KIND OF HELP FACILITATE, UH, THE BID PROCESS.
UH, AND I I WANTED TO KIND OF GO THROUGH THESE NUMBERS.
SO WHAT YOU'LL SEE IS THE, THE CONSTRUCTION BID FOR THE PROJECT, UM, IS, UH, 14 MILLION 251 4 10.
UH, AND THEN ONE THING TO NOTE IS, UH, I'M SHOWING LIKE A 10% CONTINGENCY IN THERE.
AND, AND THAT WILL BE RELEVANT HERE IN A MOMENT.
UH, ONE OF THE OTHER ITEMS ON THE AGENDA IS THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND INSPECTION.
UH, SO THAT WAS PART OF THE OVERALL COST IN THE PARTNERSHIP WITH COG.
[00:30:01]
UH, YOU'LL SEE THERE, UH, THAT DESIGN PHASE, PROJECT MANAGEMENT THAT INCLUDE UTILITY COORDINATION, UH, THE RIGHT OF WAY PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AND BIDDING THE PROJECT.AND THAT THOSE WERE ELEMENTS THAT WE DID, UH, FREEZER, NICKELS AND PARTNERSHIP WITH, UH, PINNACLE AND HARRIS COOK.
UH, YOU'LL SEE THE RIGHT OF WAY, UH, WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN PURCHASED.
UH, THOSE FUNDS HAVE ALREADY BEEN EXPENDED FOR, UH, THE RIGHT OF WAY AND EASEMENTS.
SO WHAT YOU'LL SEE HERE IN YELLOW IS CURRENTLY WHAT THE TOTAL, UH, PROGRAM COST IS, IS 18,779,200.
UH, IN MY CONVERSATIONS WITH COG, UH, I WAS REQUESTING 1.5 MILLION IN CONTINGENCY FUNDS SO THAT, UH, IF WE RUN INTO A CHANGE IN CONSTRUCTION, WE DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE ANOTHER FUNDING REQUEST.
WE CAN DO ONE FUNDING REQUEST, UH, WHATEVER'S NOT NEEDED.
IS THAT A MILE OR TWO MILES? HOW LONG IS THAT ROAD? UM, I, I WOULD GUESS ABOUT A MILE.
I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY THE LENGTH THAT, UH, BUT YEAH, IT GOES TO WALSH RANCH.
SO FROM 33 25 TO A LITTLE BIT FURTHER THAN A MILE PROBLEM IS THERE'S ALL THAT, ALL THAT CREEK AND YEAH, I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IS BRIDGE.
IT'S, IT'S A PRETTY CHALLENGING TECHNICAL PIECE OF DIRT TO NAVIGATE OVER THERE.
YEAH, SO THE, THERE'S A LOT OF COMPLEXITIES IN THAT.
THERE'S, UM, AS THE COMMISSIONER SAID, THE, THERE'S A LOT OF DRAINAGE.
WE ACTUALLY HAD TO MOVE THE ROAD SOUTH.
UH, SO WHERE YOU DRIVE TODAY, IF YOU, IF YOU KIND OF LOOK SOUTH, YOU'LL SEE A BIG FLOODPLAIN.
SO THE, THE ENGINEER ACTUALLY HOPPED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THAT.
SO THE ENTIRE ROAD SHIFTS SOUTH, LIKE RIGHT OFF OF 33 25.
AND THEN IF, IF YOU'VE DRIVEN, LIKE GOING TOWARDS THE NEW, UH, MIDDLE SCHOOL, THERE'S A BIG KIND OF ROCK SHELF THERE THAT WE HAD TO CUT THROUGH.
SO YEAH, IT'S, IT'S A PRETTY EXPENSIVE, UM, SECTION OF ROAD, WHICH IS PROBABLY WHY IT HADN'T BEEN IMPROVED TO DATE.
UM, AND SO, UM, WHAT YOU'LL SEE THERE IN GREEN KIND OF SHOWS YOU THE SUMMARY OF THE FUND.
SO IN THE CURRENT BOND PROGRAM, UH, THE COUNTY'S, UH, PORTION OF THE PARTNERSHIP WAS $500,000 THAT'S ALLOCATED IN THE BOND.
UH, TO DATE, SINCE, UH, COG HAD DEPOSITED THE 16 MILLION WITH Y'ALL A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, UH, Y'ALL HAVE EARNED, UH, 699,200 IN INTEREST.
UH, AND THE PART OF THAT AGREEMENT THAT INTEREST WOULD ROLL TOWARDS, UH, PAYING FOR THE PROJECT.
SO, UH, WHERE WE ARE TODAY IN TERMS OF THE CURRENT AGREEMENTS, UH, THE TOTAL, UH, BUDGET IS 17,839,200.
AND SO, UH, WITH Y'ALL'S APPROVAL TODAY, UH, THE PROCESS HERE WOULD BE WE WOULD USE SAVINGS FROM THE 2016 BOND, UH, SIMILAR TO WHAT WE DID ON THE NINE 20 TURN LANES, UH, TO FILL THAT $940,000 GAP.
AND AT THE SAME TIME, WE'RE GOING TO BE REQUESTING A, UH, A NEW FUNDING AMENDMENT WITH COG.
UH, THAT PROCESS TAKES ABOUT SIX MONTHS.
SO WE, WE TYPICALLY SUBMIT THE PAPERWORK IN SEPTEMBER, AND THEN ONCE IT GOES THROUGH THE RTC APPROVAL AND THE AMENDMENT OF THE TECH STOCK AGREEMENT, THEN THOSE FUNDS WILL BE, UH, PROVIDED TO THE COUNTY.
WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA REQUEST, UH, THE 2,470,000.
SO THAT'S THE FUNDING GAP PLUS CONTINGENCY.
THAT WAY IF WHEN WE'RE UNDER CONSTRUCTION, IF WE RUN INTO SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA HAVE A CHANGE ORDER, THEN THERE WOULD BE, UH, WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS AGAIN.
UH, SO THAT KIND OF GIVES YOU THE BACKGROUND AND, UH, I'LL COVER THIS ITEM AND THEN IF YOU, IF YOU'D LIKE ME TO GO BACK AND SUMMARIZE.
SO, UH, THIS GIVES YOU A SUMMARY OF THE, UH, BIDS.
SO WE HAD FOUR BIDDERS ON THE PROJECT.
UH, THE ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE AT THE TIME WAS 15 MILLION, 5 58, 6 30, 9 50.
UH, THAT WAS ALREADY ABOVE WHAT WE HAD, UH, BACK WHEN WE ORIGINALLY BUDGETED THE PROJECT.
SO EVEN THOUGH THE, UH, THE KING GEORGE TRAFFIC SOLUTIONS CAME IN UNDER THAT ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE, WE ORIGINALLY HAD ABOUT 12.9 THAT WE THOUGHT THE CONSTRUCTION AMOUNT WOULD BE WHEN WE, UH, DID THAT AGREEMENT WITH COG.
AND SO THAT'S KIND OF, UH, TRIGGERING THE, UH, THE NEED FOR A NEW FUNDING REQUEST.
AND, AND SO WHAT, WHAT WE'RE REQUESTING TODAY IS TO, UH, AWARD TO KING GEORGE TRAFFIC SOLUTIONS IN THE AMOUNT OF 14 MILLION 251 4 0 8 71.
[00:35:03]
UH, AND PART OF THAT APPROVAL WOULD, UH, WOULD ALSO REQUEST, UH, THE $940,000 AS, UH, TO USE THE CONTINGENCY FROM THE, OR THE SAVINGS FROM THE 2016 BOND ON A TEMPORARY BASIS TO BE ABLE TO AWARD THE PROJECT.WE DON'T EXPECT FROM A CASH FLOW STANDPOINT THAT IT WOULD JUST BE ENCUMBERED, UH, WHILE WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THE FUNDING AGREEMENTS.
UH, SO THAT WAS A LOT OF INFORMATION.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION, IT WAS DEFINITELY RELEVANT THOUGH, BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENCE IN WHAT WE INITIALLY THOUGHT.
NOW WHAT IT IS, IT SHOULD BE A STRAIGHTFORWARD PER COG TO COME BACK AND LOOK AT THAT AND APPROVE THAT ADDITIONAL FUNDING.
YEAH, I, I'VE BEEN KIND OF WORKING WITH HIM SINCE THE BID, UH, AND IT'S JUST WE, YOU KNOW, GOING THROUGH THE FORMAL TIP MODIFICATION AND, AND THOSE STEPS THROUGH THE RTC, I'M SORRY, COMMISSIONER HOLDEN, WITHOUT DIGGING TOO MUCH INTO THE WEEDS, ANYTIME I SEE, I MEAN, THAT'S A 50% VARIANCE BETWEEN KING GEORGE AND MCMAHON.
ED BELL'S THE MOST, UH, WHAT DROVE THAT SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN PRICING? I, I THINK IT'S JUST HOW THE, IT'S A VERY COMPLICATED PROJECT, AND SO WE TYPICALLY SEE A, A VARIATION IN THE BID AND HOW THE CONTRACTORS, UM, INTERPRET THEIR RISK ON THE JOB.
I MEAN, ONE OF THE UNIQUE THINGS I'VE MENTIONED ABOUT ALL THE FLOODPLAIN WORK, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF TEMPORARY PAVEMENT IN ORDER TO KEEP ACCESS TO THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS AND THE SCHOOLS, WE BASICALLY HAVE TO BUILD A TEMPORARY ROAD TO THEN BUILD A PERMANENT ROAD.
SO IT'S MORE EXTENSIVE THAN WE, WE'VE TYPICALLY RAN INTO.
AND SO THE, THE ONLY WAY I COULD ANSWER THAT IS JUST KINDA HOW EACH CONTRACTOR INTERPRETS THEIR RISK ON THE JOB, AND, YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY BID IT ACCORDING TO THAT, IT'S KIND OF A GUESS TOO, BUT IT COULD ALSO BE HOW HUNGRY OR HOW MUCH THEY REALLY WANT THE JOB RELATIVE TO HOW BUSY THEY ARE AT THIS TIME.
THE TIMING COULD BE A BIG ISSUE ON THIS TO WHERE IF WE, IF YOU'RE GONNA GIVE IT TO US, WE'LL DO IT FOR THIS, SO, RIGHT.
I MEAN, KING GEORGE IS RELATIVELY NEW, UH, CONTRACTOR, UH, IN, IN OUR KIND OF REVIEW OF THEIR STAFF.
THEY HAVE A LOT OF QUALIFIED PEOPLE THAT HAVE, YOU KNOW, HAVE EXPERIENCED SOME OTHER, UH, CONTRACTING FIRMS, BUT THEY ARE, UH, RELATIVELY NEW FIRM TO THE AREA THOUGH.
THEY HAVE EXPERIENCE IN OTHER AREAS.
AND I ASSUME YOU, YOU MENTIONED THE WORD RISK SEVERAL TIMES.
I ASSUME THAT THE COUNTY'S RISK, SO TO SPEAK, IS THE SAME IN ALL OF THEM, THAT THEY'RE ALL BIDDING WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF PROTECTIONS TO THE COUNTY.
Y YEAH, SO WHERE THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT IS, IS COG IS FUNDING THE CONSTRUCTION PIECE, RIGHT? SO THAT'S WHY I WAS KIND OF BUILDING THAT CONTINGENCY IN THERE.
UM, SO THE, THE AMOUNT, THE COUNTY, THAT 500,000 WAS A KIND OF FIXED AMOUNT THAT WAS AGREED TO, UH, ACTUALLY A, A YEAR OR SO AGO.
AND SO, UM, I'M SPEAKING SPECIFICALLY MORE TO THINGS LIKE DELAYS IN CONSTRUCTION.
WHAT, WHAT THAT MIGHT HAVE, SORRY, THE EFFECT THAT, THAT MIGHT HAVE ON THE CONTRACTOR'S OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES.
AND, AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID IS WE ORIGINALLY HAD A 15 MONTH SCHEDULE, AND THEN, UH, WHEN WE WERE GOING THROUGH THE BIG PROCESS, THE CONTRACTORS WERE COMPLAINING, THAT'S TOO QUICK.
UH, JUST, JUST SO THAT I'M CLEAR THOUGH, WHEN, AND AND THIS IS MAYBE A BROADER QUESTION THAN JUST THIS ONE PROJECT, BUT WHEN WE GO GET A BID FROM THESE FOUR OR FIVE, THESE FOUR ENTITIES, WHEN THEY COME BACK WITH THAT BID, IS THAT BID APPLES TO APPLES IN TERMS OF, HEY, IF WE OVERRUN BY SIX MONTHS, HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO AND HERE'S HOW WE'RE GONNA FIX IT.
IS THAT ALWAYS THE SAME, OR DOES THAT VARY FROM BID TO BID? UM, NO, NO.
AND, AND JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, OUR, OUR LIMITED, WE'RE LIMITED TO 500,000, CORRECT? YES.
ANY OVERAGE WE GO TO COG, IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.
SO OUR EXPOSURE IS THE $500,000 ON THIS, THAT THAT'S CORRECT.
I, I THINK I, IF I UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION, IT, SO IN THE, IN THE SPECS, WE HAVE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES BUILT IN YES.
AND THOUGH IN THIS CONTEXT, THAT WOULD BE, UH, TO PROTECT COG, RIGHT? RIGHT.
I UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PARKER COUNTY AND COG, BUT I'M SPEAKING TO THIS, AND I'M SPEAKING TO OTHER PROJECTS IN GENERAL, WHEN WE AS COMMISSIONERS SEE A BID BROUGHT BEFORE US, THOSE BIDS ARE ALL APPLES TO APPLES IN THE CONTEXT OF WHAT THOSE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES MIGHT BE IN THE EVENT OF SCHEDULE OVERRUNS, ET CETERA.
IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.
I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT I'M RIGHT ON THAT.
THEY'RE, THEY'RE BIDDING ON THE SAME SET OF SPECS WITH THE SAME LIQUIDATED DAMAGE.
JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE, APPRECIATE IT.
JUST TO SUMMARIZE, CHRIS, WE'RE GONNA TAKE MONEY FROM 2016 BOND SAVINGS,
[00:40:01]
USE IT ON THIS PROJECT WITH THE ANTICIPATION THAT COG IS GONNA REFUND THAT MONEY AND GO RIGHT BACK WHERE IT CAME FROM.WE'RE, WE'RE NOT PAYING IT BACK MAP.
UH, SO THE 940,000 IS JUST, UH, WE WOULD ENCUMBER THAT UNTIL ADDITIONAL FUNDS COME IN FROM COG.
I SUPPOSE YOU NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE THAT.
WE DO MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HALE.
I SECOND MADE BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THE SIDE BEFORE WE VOTE? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES FIVE.
[5.C. Discuss/Take action on construction management and inspection services work authorization for Old Weatherford Road. (Chris Bosco / Commissioner Hale)]
C, DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION ON CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND INSPECTION SERVICES.WORK AUTHORIZATION FOR OLD WEATHER PER ROAD, CHRIS.
UM, SO I MENTIONED IN THAT SUMMARY, UH, ONE OF THE ELEMENTS, UH, THAT'S PART OF THE COG FUNDING IS THE, WOULD BE THE, UH, BID PHASE, UH, CONSTRUCTION, ENGINEERING AND, AND MANAGEMENT AND INSPECTION AND TESTING.
UH, AND SO, UH, YOU'LL SEE KIND OF A SUMMARY OF THE, THE FEES ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, WITH THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT INSPECTION IS, IT'S SIMILAR TO THE WAY WE DID THE LOOP.
UH, IT'S FULL-TIME INSPECTION.
AND THEN WE DO THE MATERIALS TESTING IS IN THIS CONTEXT, SINCE THIS IS CITY OF FORT WORTH, WE'LL BE FOLLOWING FORT WORTH SPECS ON THE TESTING REQUIREMENTS.
UM, THE, THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, YOU'LL SEE, UH, WE USUALLY KIND OF BENCHMARK THAT AROUND A PERCENT OF CONSTRUCTION.
UH, AND SO IT'S ABOUT 5.9 UH, PERCENT OF CONSTRUCTION.
UH, SO WITH APPROVAL OF THIS, UM, IT WOULD BE, UH, 1,041,600.
IT IS A NOT TO EXCEED, SO IT'S ALL BASED ON THE 19 MONTHS.
UH, SO IF THE CONTRACTOR FINISHES EARLY, IT'S JUST WHAT THAT, THAT HOURLY EFFORT IS.
BUT THIS WOULD BE THE BUDGET AMOUNT, UH, FOR THE 19 MONTHS OF MANAGING THE CONSTRUCTION.
THIS FUNDING, THIS FUNDING IS IN ASSOCIATION WITH COG AS WELL? THAT'S CORRECT.
SO THEY, THEY WERE FUNDING THE ENTIRE PROJECT RIGHT, OF WAY MANAGEMENT, ENGINEERING, AND, AND THEN Y'ALL HAD THE 500,000 CONTRIBUTIONS.
SO THE 500 IS JUST PART OF THE OVERALL THING.
WE DIDN'T REALLY IDENTIFY WHERE IT'S DIRECTED.
I JUST WANTED TO, FOR THE SAKE OF SAYING IT.
WE WILL TAKE ACTION ON THAT ONE.
MOTION IS MADE BY COMMISSIONER HALE, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONLEY, ANY OF THE DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR.
[5.D. Discuss/Take action on professional legal services work authorization for the transportation bond program. (Chris Bosco / Commissioner Holt)]
GOT ITEM D AND DISCUSSED TAKE ACTION AND PROFESSIONAL LEGAL SERVICES WORK AUTHORIZATION FOR THE TRANSPORTATION BOARD BOND PROGRAM.UM, SO THIS IS FOR, UM, AS, AS WE'VE KIND OF, UH, ENTERED DOWN A FEW PROJECTS INTO THE RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION, UM, WHAT I WAS PROPOSING TODAY IS, UH, TO GET APPROVAL FOR UP TO TWO PARCELS.
UH, SO WE USE, OF COURSE HARRIS COOK, UH, LARRY FOWLER FOR, FOR THOSE SERVICES.
BUT, UH, THIS WOULD BE UNDER THE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT, UH, VER VERSUS IDENTIFYING IT TO A DIRECT PROJECT AND THAT IT COULD BE USED FOR ANY, ANY SPECIFIC PROJECT.
BUT WE WANTED TO GO AHEAD AND GET, UH, LARRY UNDER CONTRACT.
UH, SO IT HAS THE, THE LEGAL SERVICES PER PARCEL, UH, UP TO TWO.
AND THEN, UH, PINNACLES WORK FOR JUST KIND OF GETTING THE, THE FILES, UM, SET UP FOR, UH, ANY POSSIBLE CONDEMNATION.
AND THEN, UH, IN THE EVENT, WE, WE GO TO A HEARING, THE TESTIFYING EFFORT THERE.
UH, SO THIS WOULD BE FOR TWO PARCELS, UM, AND IT WOULD BE ALLOCATED TO WHATEVER PROJECTS OF NEED FOR THAT.
MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HOLT, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? ALL IN FAVOR CARRIES FIVE.
[5.E. Discuss/Approve county judge to execute Advance Funding Agreement CSJ 0313-02-071 for FM 51 at Carter Rd. project. (Chris Bosco / Judge Deen)]
GOOD.DISCUSS APPROVED COUNTY JUDGE TO EXECUTE ADVANCED PLANNING AGREEMENT CSJ OH 3 13 0 2 0 7 1 FOR FM 51 AT CARTER ROAD PROJECT.
UM, SO THIS IS A PROJECT THAT COMMISSIONER HOLT'S BEEN WORKING WITH, UM, UH, TECH STOCK ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW.
UH, THE CARTER ROAD INTERSECTIONS.
UH, LOT OF SAFETY CONCERNS AROUND THAT INTERSECTION.
AND SO, UH, THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE VILLE CUTOFF IN 1 99,
[00:45:01]
UH, THE DISTRICT ACTUALLY, UM, SELECTED THIS PROJECT FOR HIGHWAY SAFETY IMPROVEMENT FUNDS.UH, THE AGREEMENT, UH, WITH THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS THAT THE COUNTY WOULD PROVIDE THE ENGINEERING PLANS, AND THEN THERE'S NOT REALLY A PASS THROUGH IN HERE.
IT'S THE COUNTY DOES THE WORK FOR THE ENGINEERING PLANS, GIVES IT TO TECH STOCK, AND THEN THEY'RE GONNA GO BUILD IT WITH, YOU KNOW, THEY'LL MANAGE THAT PROCESS.
SO IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN THE WAY WE'VE DONE THE INTERSECTIONS ON THE LOOP WHERE Y'ALL HAVE LED IT AND GOT REIMBURSED.
UH, IN THIS PARTICULAR ONE, Y'ALL JUST PROVIDE THE ENGINEERING AND THEN THEY'LL TAKE IT FROM THERE.
WHAT ARE THEY ACTUALLY GONNA DO AT THAT INTERSECTION? ARE THEY, IT'S NOT GONNA GONNA BE A LOT.
THERE'S A SUPER TWO, AS THEY CALL IT, WHICH WAS NEW TO ME, BUT
AND SO THE PROBLEM IS YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE WHO ARE TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED COMING OVER THE HILL, AND THEY'RE IMMEDIATELY HAVING TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES.
OH, I KNOW HOW BAD IT IS, BUT YEAH.
SORRY, I'M, I'M SAYING THIS MORE FOR THE AUDIENCE.
I KNOW YOU'RE VERY FAMILIAR FOR IT, OR, SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS WE'RE GOING TO ATTEMPT TO BROADEN OUR RIGHT OF WAY OR THE, THE RIGHT OF WAY OF FM 51 THERE, SO THAT DEDICATED AND PROTECTED TURN LANES CAN EXIST SO THAT FOLKS COMING UP OVER THE HILL AREN'T CRAWLING UP INTO SOMEBODY'S TAILGATE, YOU KNOW, WHEN, WHEN THEY SEE THEIR TURNING.
SO AT SOME POINT, NO LIGHT, JUST TURN LANES.
YEAH, BUT IT'S, BUT THIS IS THE, THE, I FIGURED THEY'D TURN THAT DOWN.
THIS IS THE START FOR NOW, RIGHT? SO I TURN LANES WILL EXTREMELY HELP.
UM, AND SO I, I'D LOVE TO SEE A LIGHT THERE.
UH, I'M NOT A FAN OF LIGHTS JUST FOR THE SAKE OF LIGHTS, BUT THERE'S BEEN WAY TOO MANY FATALITIES AND, AND HORRIBLE ACCIDENTS THERE, AND A COUPLE OF OTHER LOCATIONS ON FM 51.
SO NORTHBOUND LEFT TURN ONTO CARTER AND THE RIGHT TURN.
I JUST HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE ASKING ME WHAT EXACTLY IS GONNA BE DONE THERE.
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT A LIGHT, AND I KEEP TELLING THEM, I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S GONNA BE A LIGHT, AND, AND THERE'S NOT.
THIS IS TURN FOR DEDICATED PROTECTED TURN RIGHTS.
UM, THIS KIND OF SUMMARIZES THE AGREEMENT.
AND SO, UH, WHAT YOU'LL SEE HERE IS, AND THESE ARE BUDGETARY NUMBERS.
SO I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH, UH, TECH STOCK FOR THEM TO PUT THIS A FA TOGETHER.
UH, SO YOU'LL SEE A, UH, THE LOCAL CONTRIBUTION OF ENGINEERING WOULD BE $180,000 WITH 50,000 TOWARDS ENVIRONMENTAL.
UH, WE DON'T ANTICIPATE, UH, THE NEED FOR RIGHT OF WAY THAT'S NORMALLY WOULD BE A LOCAL GOVERNMENT COST, BUT THERE'S ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD RIGHT OF WAY.
AND SO THE, THE FEELING IS THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO FIT THE IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE EXISTING RIGHT OF WAY.
UH, SO THE $230,000 WOULD BE A, A PRECINCT TWO, UH, DISCRETIONARY FUNDS.
AND, UH, AND THEN YOU'LL SEE THERE BETWEEN FEDERAL AND STATE PARTICIPATION, IT'S ABOUT, UH, 2.5 MILLION.
UH, SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT, UH, MORE EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENT THAN, THAN WHAT WE DID AT 1 99 AND, AND VILLE.
BUT, UH, 'CAUSE PART OF IT IS THE, THE TEXTILE WANTS TO KEEP THE SUPER TWO.
'CAUSE WE HAD, WE HAD DISCUSSED TAKING THE SUPER TWO OUT AND JUST RES STRIPING, BUT THEY FEEL LIKE THAT'S, UH, SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO STAY IN THAT AREA.
SO WE'LL ACTUALLY BE WIDENING EVERYTHING.
WE'LL BE SHIFTING THE SUPER TWO OUT TO MAKE ROOM FOR THE TURN LANES.
UH, SO WITH Y'ALL'S APPROVAL OF THIS, THEN, UH, THE JUDGE WOULD EXECUTE THIS AGREEMENT WITH TECH STOCK AND, UH, AND, AND GET THE, THE PROJECT, UH, MOVING FROM A, A
WE HAVE A MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HOLT, A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN.
ALL IN FAVOR, UH, COMMISSIONER HOLT, I APPRECIATE YOU WORKING ON THAT INTERSECTION.
[5.F. Discuss/Take action on professional surveying and SUE work authorization for Carter Road/FM 51 Intersection. (Chris Bosco / Commissioner Holt)]
ITEM F AND DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION ON PROFESSIONAL SURVEYING AND SUE WORK AUTHORIZATION FOR CARTER ROAD SLASH FM 51 INTERSECTION, CHRIS.UM, SO SAME PROJECT AND, AND THIS, THIS WOULD BE, UH, INCLUDED AS PART OF THAT 180,000.
BUT, UH, JUST TO GET IT KICKED OFF, WE WANTED TO GET THE SURVEY AND SUE GOING.
UH, AND SO, UH, THIS WOULD BE APPROVAL, UH, TO SURVEY THAT PROJECT, UH, AND DO THE SUB-SERVICE UTILITY INVESTIGATION.
UH, THE AMOUNT FOR THOSE SERVICES IS 37 2 90.
THAT WOULD BE PART OF THAT 180 THAT, THAT YOU JUST APPROVED AS PART OF THAT, UH, EARLIER AGREEMENT.
AND, UH, HERE'S JUST THE MAP THAT YOU SAW A MOMENT AGO.
SO WE'D BE SURVEYING THAT LIMITS AND DOING THE SUE WORK FOR THAT, THAT PORTION.
[00:50:05]
WHAT YOU MEAN BY COMMISSIONER HOLT SECOND, BY COMMISSIONER WALDEN, IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM BEFORE WE VOTE? YEAH, JUDGE, WHAT WE ULTIMATELY NEED IS FOR YOU TO GET ON COG ABOUT WIDENING, WIDENING THAT HIGHWAY FROM WEATHERFORD TO SPRINGTOWN.OH, I TOTALLY, I AGREE THAT THAT IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ROAD.
OH, WE, WE HAVE YES, ABSOLUTELY.
AND THEY ARE, UM, UH, TEX ALREADY HIRED AN ENGINEER TO, TO DO PLANTS FOR THE HOLT, FROM WEATHERFORD ALL THE WAY TO SPRINGTOWN.
UH, SO THE, AND IN MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT, 'CAUSE IT WAS 9 20 51 AND, UH, SEVEN 30 ARE THE THREE THAT ARE GOING.
AND MY UNDERSTANDING THIS IS THEIR, THEIR TOP PRIORITY.
SO IT MIGHT HAVE MORE PROJECTS LIKE THIS BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THEY'RE DOING IS IF, IF THERE'S KIND OF SOME LOW HANGING, YOU KNOW, WHERE YOU CAN MAKE A REAL SAFETY IMPACT, THEY'RE GONNA BE APPLYING FUNDS TO THAT JUST 'CAUSE THE BIG JOB.
YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S ABOUT 15 MILES.
TAKE A LITTLE LONGER TO DEVELOP.
UM, BUT THE, THE IDEA IS THAT THEY ARE FOCUSED ON THAT.
I BELIEVE IT'S ACTUALLY 18 MILES.
CHRIS, IF WE, IF WE HAVE A COMMISSIONER THAT'S ASKING THIS HERE, THEN WE NEED TO SIT DOWN TOGETHER AND EITHER WHETHER WE PRESS RELEASE IT, WE PUT IT ON OUR INTERNET, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE EFFORTS THAT WE'RE DOING AND WHERE THE PROGRESSION THAT WE HAVE ON THIS PROJECT IS ARTICULATED OUT TO THE COMMUNITY.
AND KNOWING WHAT WE'RE DOING, WE'RE NOT JUST SITTING HERE WATCHING THIS.
YOU KNOW, CONTINUE TO GET WORSE, BUT THERE'S, THERE'S A PROCESS THAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY IS EDUCATED ON WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY DOING.
AND THE EFFORTS THAT WE'RE MAKING ON THIS.
I, SO I APOLOGIZE IF I'M THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE, BUT THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT WITH A COUPLE OF FATALITIES, I BELIEVE.
UM, SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, TWO MONTHS AGO, THREE MONTHS AGO, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
DID WE NOT PASS A RESOLUTION THAT WAS GONNA GET SENT ON TO COG AND TO TDOT AND TO STATE LEGISLATURE? WE DID.
BUT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE IS ACTUAL EFFORTS, ACTUAL WORK THAT'S CURRENTLY BEING DONE ON THIS, UM, THAT WE NEED TO UPDATE PEOPLE ON BECAUSE, UM, WE HAVE A COMMISSIONER ASKING THIS AND WE'RE NOT DOING OUR JOB.
THAT'S, THAT'S NOT WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT.
I APOLOGIZE IF I WAS, UH, MISLEADING ON THAT.
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT IS WE HAVE MADE THAT REQUEST TO COG ALREADY, HAVEN'T WE? MM-HMM.
AND I THINK WE NEED TO STAY, I THINK COMMISSIONER CONLEY'S POINT IS VERY WELL TAKEN.
WE CAN'T, JUST COULDN'T AGREE MORE.
IF WE NEED TO PASS A RESOLUTION EVERY TWO WEEKS, THEN WE DO IT EVERY TWO WEEKS.
LET'S, LET'S KEEP THE PRESSURE UP.
WELL, AND I, I THINK THE TIMING'S GOOD 'CAUSE WE'VE BEEN, SINCE THAT EVENT, WE'VE BEEN, UH, COORDINATING GETTING A MEETING WITH COG AND THAT'S ACTUALLY THIS WEEK.
AND THEN WE'RE ALSO TRYING TO GET ONE WITH TECH STOCK.
LET'S GET, TALK ABOUT, LET'S GET THIS OUT.
LET'S GET SOME UPDATES ON THIS.
SO WE EX EDUCATE EVERYBODY ON WHAT'S GOING ON.
NO, YOUR, YOUR WORDS ARE TAKEN SERIOUSLY HERE.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR CARRIES FIVE.
[5.G. Discuss/Take action on County wide traffic count work authorization for the transportation bond program. (Chris Bosco / Judge Deen)]
ON DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION ON COUNTYWIDE TRAFFIC COUNT WORK AUTHORIZATION FOR THE TRANSPORTATION BOND PROGRAM, CHRIS.UM, SO, UH, ONE OF THE WAYS WE'RE APPROACHING TRAFFIC COUNTS IS TO JUST, UH, GET 'EM ALL DONE FOR ALL THE PROJECTS.
UH, AND SO THAT WOULD INCLUDE, UH, TUBE COUNTS AS WELL AS TURNING MOVEMENT COUNTS AT ALL THE KEY INTERSECTIONS.
UH, AND SO CURRENTLY WHAT YOU SEE HERE, IT'S ACTUALLY 40 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS OF TUBE COUNTS AND 70 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS OF TURNING MOVEMENT COUNTS THAT WOULD BLANKET ALL THE PROJECTS IN THE PROGRAM.
WE ARE KIND OF TIMING THIS NOW THAT SCHOOLS CLOSE TO THE WORK WON'T BE DONE UNTIL SCHOOLS BACK IN SERVICE HERE.
SO WE CAN CAPTURE, UH, YOU KNOW, THOSE VOLUMES.
UH, ONE OF THE THINGS WE BUILT IN HERE IS, UH, FIVE ADDITIONAL LOCATIONS PER PRECINCT.
THAT WAY, UH, IF Y'ALL HAVE ANOTHER PROJECT WHERE YOU'RE LIKE, I NEED COUNTS AT THIS LOCATION, WE CAN HAVE, UH, THIS IS ACTUALLY GRAHAM TRAFFIC COUNTING THAT WE USE TO DO THAT WORK.
UH, SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO, UH, ADD THAT IN, UH, IF YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL LOCATIONS THAT COME TO MIND AS AS THEY'RE COLLECTING THESE.
SORRY, I HAD A QUESTION THERE.
UH, THE MOTION IS MADE BY COMMISSIONER HOLT, WILL THE SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HILL.
IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION OF THE SIGNED REPORT? VOTE.
[5.H. Discuss/Take action to accept payment from Quality Excavation for Kelly Road Pavement Repair. (Chris Bosco / Commissioner Hale)]
MOVE TO ITEM H ON DISCUSS.TAKE ACTION TO RECEIVE PAYMENT FROM QUALITY EXCAVATION FOR KELLY ROAD PAVEMENT REPAIR.
CHRIS, UM, THIS IS, UH, UH, ACTUALLY A PROJECT FROM THE 2016 BOND.
[00:55:01]
SO, UH, KELLY ROAD.IT WAS, UH, SOME IMPROVEMENT OF SOME SHARP CURVES ON KELLY ROAD AND, UH, WE HAD A PAVEMENT FAILURE.
AND, UM, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE CONTRACTOR AND THE BONDING COMPANY TO, UH, RESOLVE THE ISSUE FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
AND, UM, WHAT, WHAT WE'RE ASKING TODAY IS THAT THE, UM, COMMISSIONER HALE'S FORCES WERE GONNA DO, UH, OTHER IMPROVEMENTS ON KELLY, UH, THAT IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CONTRACTOR, UH, THEY MADE A, A A PROVIDED A CHECK OF $25,000, UH, SUCH THAT, UH, PRECINCT FOUR CAN DO THE REPAIR WORK, UH, FOR, FOR THOSE DAMAGED AREAS.
AND SO, UH, WITH APPROVAL WILL BE ACCEPTING, UH, THAT CHECK, UH, TO GO TOWARDS THAT MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER HALE, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER COLLEY.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR.
[7.A. Update on NCTCOG/RTC Meeting. (Judge Deen)]
TO ITEM SEVEN ON NOTIFICATION.UH, THIS IS JUST AN UPDATE, UH, AS REQUESTED LAST TIME, UH, MYSELF AND THE, UH, RELATIONS OFFICER IS NOW KIND OF TRANSITIONED INTO A MORE OF A TRANSPORTATION ROLE.
UH, CYNTHIA ORTIZ AND MYSELF DID GO TO THE RTC MEETING.
WHAT YOU HAVE IS, UM, A PRESENTATION HERE.
WE'RE NOT GONNA GIVE THIS BY WORD BY WORD, BUT REALLY HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE KEY ISSUES HERE.
I WILL, I WILL START THIS BY SAYING THIS REAPPOINTMENT, UH, PARKER COUNTY REASSUMING, THE REPRESENTATION ON THAT BOARD IS DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT THAN THE LAST TIME THAT WE WERE ON THAT BOARD.
UH, AND AS YOU SEE HERE, UH, AND CYNTHIA, I'M GONNA LET YOU COVER THE GRANT SIDE OF THIS, BUT THERE, THERE IS AN ENTIRE SECTION THAT WAS PRESENTED DURING THE RTC ON GRANTS, WHICH IS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE THAN EVER BEFORE.
THE OFFICER IS NOW KIND OF TRANSITIONED INTO A MORE OF A TRANSPORTATION ROLE.
I THOUGHT I HEARD THAT BEFORE.
AND SO THIS, THIS IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT BALLGAME NOW WITH ENVIRONMENTAL, WITH, WITH EVERYTHING THAT IS CURRENTLY GOING ON.
THE, THE, THE DOLLARS, EITHER THE RTC WITH COG IS TRYING TO TAP INTO MORE FEDERAL FUNDING AND TRYING TO GET MORE.
NOW, WHETHER THAT'S BECAUSE WE'RE A VERY FAST GROWING COUNTY, ONE OF THE FASTEST IN THE NATION ARE, THESE ARE NEW PROGRAMS. I'M, I'M NOT REAL SURE ON THAT.
BUT AS, UH, CYNTHIA WILL GO THROUGH SOME OF THIS WITH YOU VERY QUICKLY, UH, AND SHE'S JUST GONNA HIGHLIGHT THIS.
UM, IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE FOCUS ON GRANTS NOW AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE REALLY TRYING TO FOCUS ON THE GROWTH OF COUNTIES IS NOW MORE OF A PARAMOUNT SITUATION THAN WHAT IT WAS BEFORE WHEN WE HAD REPRESENTATION ON THAT BOARD.
CYNTHIA, IF YOU WOULD, GOOD MORNING COMMISSIONERS COURT.
UM, THIS IS GONNA BE SOMEWHAT OF WHAT WE WILL BE GIVING, UM, ON UPDATES, MONTHLY UPDATES FOR THE RTC.
IF THERE ARE PARTICULAR, UM, ITEMS OR INFORMATION YOU WOULD WANT TO BE ADDED, JUST LET ME KNOW.
SO THAT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE RTC AND BASICALLY THE RTC OVERSEES THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLANNING PROCESS.
AND THESE ARE SOME OF THEIR GOALS.
THEY MEET EVERY SECOND OF THE MONTH AT 1:00 PM AND OUR NEXT MEETING WILL BE AUGUST 8TH.
THE ONE THING THAT WAS DISCUSSED AND APPROVED AT THIS LAST MEETING, UH, WAS WHERE, UM, THERE'S GONNA BE AN INCREASE IN GRANT PROGRAMS. UM, AND THEY ARE GOING TO GIVE, UM, NET COG THE RESPONSIBILITY TO BE THE DIRECT RECIPIENT OF FEDERAL FUNDS.
AND THIS IS GONNA MAXIMIZE THE FUNDING FOR, UM, ALL OF DFW RECIPIENTS.
AND, UM, WITH THAT SAID, THEY'RE ALSO GONNA PROVIDE SERVICES TO ALL REGIONAL PARTNERS, INCLUDING THE GRANT APPLICATIONS, FINANCIAL, UH, PROGRAMMATIC REPORTS, AND GRANT SPECIFIC DELIVERABLES.
UM, THIS IS GONNA HELP EVERY ENTITY AND DFW TO FOLLOW THROUGH AND MAKE SURE THAT ALL GRANTS, UM, REQUIREMENT REQUIREMENTS ARE BEING MET.
AND SO THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT, UM, INFORMATION THAT WAS SHARED AND, UH, APPROVED THIS PAST, UH, RTC MEETING.
UM, THE ONE THING I WANTED TO BRING UP IS THE INCREASE IN THE GRANT PROGRAMS. IT'S GONNA REQUIRE A LOT OF PARKER COUNTY TO PUT INTO, TO PUT MORE, MORE TIME INTO THE RESEARCH PART OF IT TO SEE WHAT APPLIES TO PARKER COUNTY AND WHAT DOESN'T.
AND SO I JUST THOUGHT THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT PIECE OF INFORMATION.
UM, THE NEXT TWO, UM, SLIDES WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT,
[01:00:01]
IT'S GONNA BE THE AVAILABLE GRANTS.THEY TALK ABOUT MANY DIFFERENT GRANTS, BUT NOT ALL APPLY TO PARKER COUNTY OR IT CAN BE UTILIZED, UM, IN PARKER COUNTY.
AND SO THIS ONE SPECIFICALLY THE CLEAN HEAVY DUTY VEHICLE GRANT PROGRAM.
UM, IT GOES TO THE, IT APPLIES TO REPLACE SCHOOL BUSES AND THEN TO REPLACE CLASS SIX AND SEVEN HEAVY DUTY VEHICLES.
THIS APPLIES TO COUNTIES AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND CITIES.
AND SO I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD ONE TO BRING BACK TO YOU ALL.
AND, UM, THERE IS A 932 MILLION IN FUNDING, AND THEN THE 400 MILLION WILL BE FOR THE NON-ATTAINMENT AREAS, 500,000 TO 60 MILLION WILL BE PER AWARD.
THIS DOES NOT JUST REPLACE THE VEHICLE ITSELF, BUT IT WILL SUPPORT THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE WORKFORCE AS WELL.
AND SO I HAVE, UH, SHARED THIS INFORMATION WITH OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND OUR CITIES, AND THIS IS JUST A REALLY GOOD, UH, PROGRAM, UM, GRANT PROGRAM TO, TO LOOK INTO.
THE NEXT ONE IS THE, UH, BLUEGREEN GRAY PROGRAM.
AND THIS PROGRAM, UM, THE PURPOSE FOR IT IS TO PROVIDE, UH, TO PROMOTE THE PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION OF GREEN OR SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE REGION.
AND SO THE FOCUS, UM, ON THIS PROGRAM HAS TO HAVE, UH, ALL THREE ELEMENTS, BLUE FOR WATER, GREEN FOR ENVIRONMENT, AND GRAY FOR TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE.
AND, UM, THIS HAS, UH, AVAILABLE $250,000, UM, IN FUNDING.
AND THEY WILL AWARD THREE PROJECTS AT 70 TO 80,000 EACH.
AND WHAT REALLY CAUGHT MY ATTENTION WAS THIS COULD POSSIBLY FIT INTO, UH, DUPLICATING WHAT WAS DONE IN PRECINCT THREE WITH THE RAIN HARVEST, RAINWATER HARVESTING.
UM, IT COULD BE DUPLICATED IN ANOTHER PRECINCT, OR WE COULD, YOU KNOW, THINK ABOUT ANOTHER PROJECT THAT WE CAN, UM, APPLY FOR ON FOR THIS, UH, GRANT PROGRAM.
THIS IS THE APPLICATION INFORMATION.
THE QR CODE WILL TAKE YOU DIRECTLY TO THE ACTUAL, UM, GRANT INFORMATION.
AND THE DUE DATE ON THIS GRANT, UH, TO SUBMIT IT WOULD BE AUGUST 16TH.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I WANTED TO BRING THIS MAP.
PREVIOUS MAPS THAT COG HAS, UM, PRESENTED DURING RTC DURING THEIR TENURE PLAN PROJECTS DID NOT SHOW MUCH MOVEMENT HERE IN PARKER COUNTY.
AND SO THERE WAS A LOT, THERE WAS SOME MOVEMENT HERE IN THE BORDERLINE OF TARRANT COUNTY, PARKER COUNTY, BUT NOTHING REALLY INTO PARKER COUNTY.
SO I WANTED TO BRING THIS UP TO LET YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THE PARTNERSHIPS WITH COG AND TDOT HAVE BEEN TO BRING IN ALL THE FUNDING.
UM, AND ONE THING THAT THEY DID MENTION WAS UNDER THE WEST AND EAST DISTRIBUTION, UNDER THIS NEW TENURE, UM, PLAN.
THEY'RE GONNA BE LOOKING MORE ON THE WEST SIDE OF PARKER COUNTY.
SO MORE FUNDING TO COME, A LOT OF WORK TO DO, A LOT OF GRANTS TO WRITE FOR.
WELL AT THIS POINT, UH, CHRIS, UH, I DON'T HAVE HAVE TO HAVE YOU SET YOUR COMPUTER DOWN.
CAN YOU COME UP REAL QUICK ON THIS ONE? 'CAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE COURT TO UNDERSTAND SOMETHING HERE.
UH, CAN YOU EXPLAIN AGAIN, THIS ONE, UH, WE'RE OBVIOUSLY SHOWS THE EXPANSION OF BY 20, AND THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS THERE.
I JUST WANNA BE CLEAR THAT, THAT EVERYONE IS AWARE OF WHAT'S CURRENTLY BEING THERE, BUT ALSO THAT WE'RE CONTINUALLY ADDING TO THIS MAP.
JUST BECAUSE IT'S ON THIS PARTICULAR MAP THAT WAS SHOWN AT THE RTC DOESN'T MEAN THAT THERE'S, WE'RE CONTINUALLY ADDING TO THAT.
AND CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT AND WHAT WE'RE OUR PRO PROGRESSION IS AND, UH, WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY DOING WITH OUR EFFORTS ON THAT? UM, YEAH.
SO, UH, THE WAY COG AND T SOT WORK IS THEY HAVE A 10 YEAR CYCLE.
UH, THEY, THEY'LL ALSO HAVE OTHER PROJECTS GOING ON THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF THAT 10 YEAR WINDOW WHERE THEY'RE DEVELOPING ENGINEERING AND PLANNING WORK.
AND THEN THEY TYPICALLY HAVE LIKE A THREE YEAR, UH, IT'S KIND OF A RUNNING THREE YEAR WHERE THOSE ARE PROJECTS THAT ARE, UH, HAVE FUNDING TODAY.
UH, AND SO YOU'LL SEE ON THERE, UH, OF COURSE, UH, 11 A SEVEN SHOWS UP.
UH, THE, UM, AND, AND OF COURSE ALL THE I 20 WORK, UM, THE PROJECTS THAT THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE, IT'S HARD TO SEE THERE ON I 20, BUT THEY HAVE FUNDED THE RAMPS FULLY AND THEN THEY'VE PUT, UH, HALF OF THE FUNDING ON FM SEVEN 30.
UH, SO I THINK WHAT WHAT YOU'LL SEE IS IN THEIR NEXT UPDATE, THOSE PROJECTS WILL SHOW UP.
UH, 'CAUSE THEY, THEY HAVE COMMITTED THOSE FUNDS.
UH, WE TALKED EARLIER ABOUT, UH, 9 27 30 AND UH, 51.
[01:05:01]
UH, THAT'S ELEMENT I THINK WE NEED TO DISCUSS WITH 'EM.I KNOW THEY'RE DOING THE ENGINEERING WORK FOR THAT.
UH, SO WHAT THIS KIND OF INDICATES IS THAT THE CONSTRUCTION FUNDING'S LIKELY OUTSIDE OF THE 10 YEAR WINDOW.
UH, THAT CAN BE SOMETHING THAT CAN CHANGE, UH, AS THEY DEVELOP A PROJECT.
BUT THAT, THAT KIND OF, TO Y'ALL'S POINT EARLIER, THAT WOULD BE AN ELEMENT OF COORDINATION.
SO THE FOCUS IS TO CONTINUE TO, AS YOU LOOK BACK TOWARDS THE EAST, OBVIOUSLY THAT'S A, YOU KNOW, WITH A GROWTH, WE'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE, BUT THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PROJECTS AND OBVIOUSLY THE COMPETITION IN THAT ROOM AND FIGHTING FOR THOSE, THOSE MATCHING FUNDS, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S PRETTY INTENSE.
AND SO, UH, WE HAVE A WORK CUT OUT FOR US TO CONTINUE TO BRING THESE SHOVEL READY PROJECTS SO WE CAN GET THAT FUNDING.
BUT ALSO OUR GOAL IS ALSO TO CONTINUE TO FILL THAT MAP OF PARKER COUNTY AND HAVE THESE PROJECTS READY TO COME, COME TO BEAR.
AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO BE UPDATING THAT.
YOU MAY ON SOME, IF THERE'S NOT ANY UPDATES WITH THIS, YOU WILL STILL GET THIS AND IT MAY NOT BE MUCH OF A DISCUSSION, BUT AT LEAST YOU'LL UNDERSTAND AND KNOW WHAT I KNOW.
AND TO YOUR POINT, COMMISSIONER WALDEN, UM, THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE SOME TIME AGO, BUT WE'RE DOING IT NOW AND WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA DO IT THE RIGHT WAY.
SO MR. MOSCO, WHAT'S THAT LITTLE BLUE DOT UP AT THE TOP OF MM-HMM?
SO THAT, THAT IS, UH, WAS THE PROJECT THAT WAS COMPLETED.
UM, SO MY GUESS IS THAT IT, IT HASN'T BEEN FULLY CLOSED OUT ON THEIR SIDE IS WHY IT'S SHOWN.
BUT THAT, THAT IS THE, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WHERE THE SCHOOL IS AND ALL THAT? THAT'S CORRECT.
SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS UP TO WISE COUNTY, BUT THAT'S JUST RIGHT THERE IN, IN TOWN, RIGHT? THAT'S CORRECT.
SO I, I, MY GUESS IS THEY HAVEN'T, BUT I HADN'T HEARD ANYTHING WAS GONNA BE DONE FROM SPRINGTOWN TO WISE COUNTY, BUT THAT'S WHY WHEN I SEEN THAT, YEAH, IT KIND OF TRICKED ME.
NO, NO, THAT, THAT SHOULD BE THE PROJECT.
BUT THAT'S THE PROJECT'S COMPLETED, THAT'S ALREADY DONE.
ARE YOU ABLE TO ZOOM IN AT ALL ON THAT SLIDE? UM, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU BO, MR. BOSCO.
UM, 'CAUSE ON THE, ON THE HANDOUTS ON THE PRINTED, I WAS ABLE TO SEE A LITTLE MORE UHHUH
SO I WANTED TO ASK, IT REALLY IS NOT GONNA GIVE YOU, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GONNA STAY ZOOMED THERE OR NOT.
WELL IT LOOKS LIKE, OH, IT LOOKED LIKE ON THE SHORT, THE SHORT PURPLE AND PRECINCT FOUR, THE 1187.
SO IT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE IT CUTS ACROSS OLD IN THAT ROAD THERE.
HAVE YOU SEEN SOMETHING INCORPORATE, 'CAUSE THAT IS THAT GOING ACROSS TO FM FIVE SOUTH OF, YOU KNOW, MICAS AND LAKE WEATHERFORD THERE? IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S FM FIVE OR IF THAT'S CUTTING ACROSS I THINK 87 LIKE, OR WELL FM 5 11 87.
UH, SO, SO ON THE, THE GREEN DOT OVER THREE QUARTERS OF THE WAY TO THE EAST.
JUST BELOW THAT ON THE SHORT PURPLE LINE IS I BELIEVE THE CITY OF ALITO AND 1187.
CYNTHIA, CAN WE GIVE WITH CO SO THAT'S WHY I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE, WHAT THAT IS GOING WEST THERE.
GIVE, CAN THEY GIVE US A MORE DETAILED MAP OF THESE PROJECTS TO ANSWER HIS QUESTION? THEN WE GET THAT OUT.
I THINK THAT'S A MAPPING ERROR.
