[7.A. Approve Resolution for Willow Park Strategic Planning. (Judge Deen)]

AND I WANNA OPEN THIS UP BEFORE I HAVE INTRODUCE, UH, SOME VERY IMPORTANT GUESTS WE HAVE HERE TODAY TO JOIN US.

IT'S A VERY UNIQUE THING THAT WE'RE KIND OF ALL IN THIS TOGETHER, THAT, UH, I THINK THE COUNTY REALLY TRIES TO SET THE TONE FOR CONSERVATISM.

UM, TO LIMIT OUR GOVERNMENT THAT WE HAVE WATER, I THINK IS VERY IMPORTANT.

TRANSPORTATION, WE HAVE CHRIS BOSCO HERE WITH FREEZER NICHOLS.

UM, BUT LOWERING THE TAX RATE AND MAINTAINING A CONSERVATIVE APPROACH TO GOVERNMENT IS REALLY THE FOUNDATION OF WHAT WE REPRESENT.

AND SO WHEN WE HAVE THAT, THAT, UH, EXEMPLIFIES THAT IN A CITY, I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE RECOGNIZED.

AND THAT SAID, UH, BEFORE I GO INTO THIS AND HAVE Y'ALL COME UP AND INTRODUCE, UH, THESE GUESTS, UH, I DO WANNA SAY THAT THERE ARE CITIES OUT THERE THAT ARE DOING THIS THAT WE'RE GONNA BE RECOGNIZING AS WELL.

I THINK WEATHERFORD IS DOING A, AN OUTSTANDING JOB IN KEEPING THEIR TAX RATE LOW WHILE MEETING THE NEEDS OF THIS COUNTY.

I THINK THERE IS SEVERAL CITIES OUT THERE THAT, UH, ARE, ARE, ARE DOING A GREAT JOB.

BUT I I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THESE SITUATIONS WHERE, UH, THE CITY OF WILLOW PARK HAS GONE SO FAR WITH THEIR STRATEGIC PLANNING, UH, TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE KEY AREAS.

NUMBER ONE, WATER LOWERING THEIR TAX RATE AND GOING THROUGH ALL THIS, AND I WON'T STEAL YOUR THUNDER, BUT I'LL ASK Y'ALL IF YOU WOULD.

UH, WE HAVE THE MAYOR, UH, MAYOR MOSS, AND WE HAVE COUNCIL MEMBERS, UH, HERE IN ELM.

I'M JUST, WITHOUT GOING THROUGH ALL THAT, UH, I WOULD LIKE TO GO INTO FURTHER THIS TO YOU, AND IF YOU WOULD JUST INTRODUCE OUR AUDIENCE AND THEN WE'LL GO FROM THERE.

IF YOU DON'T MIND.

WOULD Y'ALL LIKE TO COME UP TO THE, TO THE PODIUM? MAYOR MOSS, BRIAN, COUNCIL MEMBERS.

I KNOW THAT THERE'S SOME OTHER FOLKS IN THE WELL IN THE COURT AND WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA GET TO THEM TOO.

IT'S, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S PART OF THE, UH, WHAT WE'RE RECOGNIZING THEM FOR.

IT GOES BEYOND WHAT, UH, WILLOW PARK HAS DONE, IS PARTNERED WITH THEIR COMMUNITY, UM, SPECIFICALLY WITH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, UH, THAT, THAT HAS REALLY RESULTED

[00:05:01]

BUT, UH, WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE HERE THAT WILL INTRODUCE HERE IN A SECOND.

BUT I'LL START WITH WILLOW PARK, IF YOU WOULD.

YEAH.

SO, AND, UH, DOYLE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME UP AND AND SAY SOMETHING OR JUST NO, IT'S AN HONOR.

UH, JUDGE, THANK YOU ALL FOR HAVING US.

UM, THESE LAST EIGHT YEARS HAVE BEEN GROWTH FOR OUR CITY, AND WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.

WHAT MATTERS TO THE COUNTY MATTERS TO US, AND WE'RE EXCITED TO BE HERE AND BE A SMALL PART OF IT.

WE HAVE A GREAT STAFF STARTING WITH OUR CITY MANAGER, MR. UH, BRIAN GRIMES.

WE HAVE A GREAT COUNCIL, GOOD PEOPLE TO WORK WITH, MOVING TOWARD A COMMON GOAL.

AND, UH, THANK YOU AGAIN FOR HAVING US.

OKAY.

SEAN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY ANYTHING? I THANK Y'ALL FOR, RECOGNIZE US TODAY.

UH, AS, UH, MAYOR MOSS SAID, YOU KNOW, WE, WE'VE GOT A GREAT GROUP THERE, SO IT'S REALLY EASY TO GET THINGS DONE WHEN YOU'RE WORKING, WORKING WITH GREAT PEOPLE LIKE THESE.

UM, A LOT OF THINGS THAT Y'ALL ARE DOING, WE'RE TRYING TO DO AS WELL.

LOWER OUR TAX RATE, SECURE OUR WATER GENERATIONALLY, UM, GET OUR WASTEWATER TREATMENT DONE.

A LOT OF BIG ECONOMIC THINGS IN ORDER TO BRING GROWTH, BUT STRATEGIC GROWTH, WORKING WITH THE COUNTY AND OUR NEIGHBORS, AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

UM, AND WE JUST WANNA CONTINUE TO DO A GOOD JOB AND, AND FOLLOW WHERE Y'ALL ARE AT.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH, BRIAN.

THANK YOU.

UM, AS A STAFF MEMBER, I'M GONNA TELL YOU THAT, THAT IT'S REALLY EASY TO WORK FOR THESE GUYS, UH, BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL ALIGNED IN WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.

UM, THEIR, THEIR GOAL TO STAFF WAS, WE WANT LOWER GOVERNMENT, LOWER TAXES.

UH, WE WANT WATER, WE WANT WASTEWATER, WE WANT MORE SALES TAX.

AND SOMETIMES THOSE THINGS ALL FALL IN THAT ORDER AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T.

UM, BUT, UH, THIS COUNCIL HAS SECURED, UH, WATER RIGHTS FOR THE NEXT 50 YEARS.

UM, WE HAVE BUILT A WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.

I'M GONNA GET A LITTLE NERDY ON YOU.

WE FINANCE BOTH OF THOSE PROJECTS FOR AROUND 1% FOR 30 YEARS.

UM, WE HAVE DOUBLED THE SALES TAX IN WILLOW PARK SINCE 2018, WHICH IS A BENEFIT TO YOU GUYS AS Y'ALL COLLECT, UM, A HALF CENT ON THAT SALES TAX AS WELL.

AND SO, UH, BUT WE LOVE WORKING WITH PARKER COUNTY.

UM, I EVEN LIKE WORKING WITH JOHN FOREST, , SERIOUSLY, .

AND SO, UH, WE APPRECIATE THE PARTNERSHIP THAT WE HAVE WITH PARKER COUNTY AND THE LEADERSHIP THAT YOU GUYS HAVE.

THANK YOU.

WE HAVE A COUPLE OF, UH, OTHERS.

UH, STACY LYNCH.

STEPHANIE RICH, WOULD YOU COME UP PLEASE? I WANT TO ADDRESS SOMETHING HERE.

ONE OF THE THINGS WITH THE CITY, AND, AND I WAS WITH THE CITY FOR 20 YEARS AND IS TO PARTNER WITH YOUR COMMUNITY IS, IS FOR THE SUCCESS TO HAPPEN AND TO ACHIEVE ALL THESE, IT'S NOT EASY WHAT YOU GUYS DO AT ALL.

UH, BUT TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT YOU'VE ACCOMPLISHED, YOU PARTNER WITH YOUR COMMUNITY, YOU PARTNER WITH THOSE BUSINESSES OUT THERE, AND THESE TWO INDIVIDUALS, PROBABLY ANYBODY KNOWS, UM, BEHIND THE SCENES, HAS REALLY WORKED WITH THIS COUNCIL AND THIS CITY TO MAKE IT BETTER FOR ALL OF PARKER COUNTY.

AND IS THERE ANYTHING Y'ALL WOULD LIKE TO ADD? YES, I HAVE A FEW WORDS.

IF, IF THAT'S OKAY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING US TODAY.

UM, WE HAD A REAL, WE HAVE OUR REAL ESTATE OFFICE IN WILLOW PARK FOR THE LAST 40 PLUS YEARS.

UM, BEEN TO SEVERAL, UM, BUSINESS MEETINGS WITH THESE FINE GENTLEMEN HERE AND WOMEN, UH, I WILL SAY THEY COME WITH A UNIFIED EFFORT.

THEY COME TO FIND SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS. THEY DON'T CREATE PROBLEMS. THEY FIX PROBLEMS. UH, IT'S REALLY REFRESHING TO WORK WITH A GROUP LIKE THESE YOUNG, THESE GENTLEMEN, UH, AND WOMEN.

UM, I FEEL LIKE, UH, I WANT TO SAY I APPRECIATE THEIR, UH, LEADERSHIP.

I APPRECIATE THEIR COUNCIL MEMBERS.

I APPRECIATE THEIR STAFF.

UH, I THINK THEY HAVE GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND, UH, WHAT THEIR CALL OF DUTY IS.

I THINK THEY TRULY LOVE THEIR, THEIR COMMUNITY AS MUCH AS WE LOVE OUR COMMUNITY.

UM, I'D ALSO LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU GUYS FOR, FOR ALWAYS COMING TOGETHER, CREATING UNIFIED EFFORT FOR ALL THE CITIES IN PARKER COUNTY.

UM, I'D LIKE TO END IN SAYING, UH, I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT MY FAMILY, A THIRD GENERATION REAL ESTATE COMPANY, WAS LEAVING A LEGACY FOR WILLOW PARK, FOR BEING THERE FOR SO LONG.

BUT NOW THE TABLES HAVE TURNED.

WILLOW PARK IS LEAVING A LEGACY FOR ALL OF US AND OUR FAMILIES.

THANK YOU.

STEPHANIE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY ANYTHING? NO.

UM, I, I WANT TO SAY ONE MORE THING, UM, BEFORE TO, UH, BEFORE WE APPROVE THIS, THIS, UM, RESOLUTION AND THE STRATEGIC PLANNING RESOLUTION IS MAYOR MOSS.

UM, YOU HAVE BROUGHT

[00:10:02]

THAT IS, UH, REALLY DOES SET THE TONE FOR NOT ONLY EASTERN PARKER COUNTY, BUT ALL, ALL OF PARKER COUNTY.

AND WHAT THAT HAS DONE IS TRANSLATED INTO, UH, OBVIOUSLY MORE REVENUE, BUT IT, BUT ALSO THE THINGS THAT MEAN SO MUCH TO THIS COURT AS WELL WITH THE THINGS THAT WERE MENTIONED BEFORE.

AND SO I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE RECOGNIZED.

I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE RECOGNIZED WITH THE LEADERSHIP AND IT TRANSLATES INTO WHAT I WILL READ HERE IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST IMPACTING RESOLUTIONS THAT I'VE, I'VE READ, HONESTLY.

AND, AND SO IT, IT'S GONNA BE A PRIVILEGE TO DO THAT.

BUT THANK YOU FOR COMING.

THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO, BECAUSE YOU DON'T GET PAID FOR IT.

YOU, YOU DO IT OUT OF THE YOUR, BECAUSE YOU'RE COMMITTED.

YOU DO IT OUTTA YOUR HEART.

AND I KNOW THE COMMITMENT THAT YOU MAKE AND I, I DID IT 20 YEARS AND IT'S, IT'S NOT EASY WHAT YOU DO, YOU KNOW, TO COME TO WORK AND DO THAT EVERY DAY.

IT'S A THANKLESS JOB.

BUT YOU GUYS HAVE FIGURED IT OUT.

YOU GUYS HAVE REALLY SET THE TONE IN FREE EASTERN PARKER COUNTY, AND THANK YOU FOR THAT.

AND PLEASE, IF Y'ALL WOULD GIVE 'EM A HAND, THANK YOU.

UH, IF YOU WOULD REMAIN STANDING, UM, WE NEED IT.

WE'VE ALREADY GOT THE, I DON'T EVEN ASK FOR THE VOTE YET, IS THIS, SO IT CARRIES FIVE OH ON THE APPROVAL OF THIS, UH, RESOLUTION.

AND I'M GONNA READ THIS REAL QUICK.

AND IF I WOULD HAVE Y'ALL COME UP AND TAKE A PICTURE WITH US ON THE STRATEGIC PLANNING OF THE RESOLUTIONS FOR THE CITY OF WILLOW PARK.

WHEREAS THE CITY OF WILLOW PARK HAS REDUCED ITS TAX RATE BY 25% WHILE SEEING ITS TOTAL VALUE DOUBLE BETWEEN 2018 AND 2024.

AND IS A FORT WORTH WATER AGREEMENT, WHICH WILL DELIVER 3.5 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER PER DAY TO WILLOW PARK.

AND I THINK IT WILL ALSO SET THE PRECEDENT FOR FUTURE GROWTH IN THIS COUNTY TO EXTEND THAT.

AND THAT'S ANOTHER DISCUSSION.

I'M GETTING OFF ON THAT.

BUT, UH, ALSO RESOLVING A LONGSTANDING WATER CAPACITY ISSUE AND SAVING TAXPAYER MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN INTEREST IN FINANCE CHARGES.

AND WHEREAS THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLAN ADDRESSES WASTEWATER CONCERNS, ENSURING RELIABLE SERVICE TO RESIDENTS, WHILE PROVIDING SUBSTANTIAL SAVINGS FOR TAXPAYERS BY COLLABORATING WITH THE CITY OF HUDSON OAKS ON BOTH THE WATER FORT WORTH WATER AGREEMENT AND WASTEWATER AGREEMENT, WILLOW PARK HAS SAVED TAXPAYERS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THROUGH EFFECTIVE TEAMWORK AND SHARED RESOURCES.

WILLOW PARK HAS REPAIRED EIGHT MILES OF STREETS SINCE 2018, WHICH IS, IS HUGE.

AND THEN THAT, THAT'S, I I HAVEN'T HEARD OF THAT BEFORE.

REDUCING THE NEED FOR COST OF REPAIRS AND PROVIDING SAFER ROADS FOR, FOR ITS RESIDENTS.

WHEREAS THEREFORE, THE UNITED EFFORTS OF THE CITY AND ITS RESIDENTS AND DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY, OLA PARK HAS SEEN SIGNIFICANT RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT RESULTING IN AN ENHANCED QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ITS CITIZENS AND PARKER COUNTY AS A WHOLE.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT OF THE COUNTY OF PARKER, HEREBY RECOGNIZE THE CITY OF WILLOW PARK FOR A STRATEGIC PLANNING CONSERVATIVE APPROACH AND EXEMPLARY SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY.

AND SO, UM, OUR PROMISE IS TO IMPROVE EVERY CHILD'S HEALTH WITHIN OUR COMMUNITIES.

AND PARKER COUNTY IS FALLS UNDER ONE OF OUR SERVICE AREAS.

AND SO ONE OF OUR, UM, BIGGEST THINGS THAT WE DO IS WORK WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS ALL ACROSS OUR SERVICE AREA TO, UM, INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF EDUCATION AND RESOURCES, UM, AVAILABLE TO CHILDREN AND FAMILIES.

AND SO WE ARE HERE TODAY TO PRESENT SENTIA WITH AN AWARD.

UM, AND I'LL LET MANDY KIND OF TAKE IT OVER TO EXPLAIN WHY, BUT THAT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT WE DO.

DID WE GIVE THOSE FLOWERS TO YOU? DID YOU GIVE THESE FLOWERS TO ME? YEAH.

NO.

WE ARE ABOUT TO GIVE THESE FLOWERS TO CYNTHIA FOR BEING AMAZING, WHICH I THINK THAT YOU PROBABLY ALL, UH, KNOW, JUST THE AMAZING WORK THAT SHE DOES FOR PARKER COUNTY.

BUT SPECIFICALLY, UH, WE'VE HAD A COALITION HERE CALLED THE HEALTHY CHILDREN'S COALITION OF PARKER COUNTY.

UM, AND WE'VE, UM, EXPANDED THE WORK THAT THE COALITION HAS DONE TO ALSO SERVICE OUR EIGHT COUNTY SERVICE SERVICE AREA.

AND WITH THAT, WE'VE BROUGHT IN OTHER RESOURCES FOR PARKER COUNTY THAT, UM, THE CENTER HAS PROVIDED, AND I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT CYNTHIA, LIKE REALLY ACCESSING EVERY RESOURCE THAT'S AVAILABLE HERE TO SUPPORT, UH, THE FAMILIES AND CHILDREN HERE IN PARKER COUNTY.

SHE'S BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN, UM, PROVIDING RESOURCES TO ALL THE COUNSELORS WITHIN, UM, THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS HERE.

SO WE PROVIDE, UH, COUNSELOR KITS AND SHE'S, UM, ADVOCATED FOR EVERY COUNSELOR HERE TO HAVE ACCESS TO THOSE KITS SO THAT FAMILIES AND CHILDREN ARE SERVICED HERE.

UM, SHE'S ALSO NOT, UM, BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN LIKE, UH, HELPING WITH OUR MARKETING MATERIALS.

IF YOU LOOK ON THE SLIDE, THESE ARE HER CHILDREN.

SO SHE'S BROUGHT THEM OUT, UM, TO, UH, VIDEO SHOOTS AND PHOTO SHOOTS THAT WE'VE DONE TO PRO, UH, TO CREATE EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, UM, THAT REALLY ADDRESS, UM, HEALTHCARE AND MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS, UM, THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.

SO WE JUST WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE HER.

SHE'S CONNECTED US WITH PARTNERS, UM, AND CREATED RELATIONSHIPS THAT WE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD.

SO, UH, WE APPRECIATE YOU

[00:20:01]

UM, SO I, LIKE I SAID, I THINK THAT YOU GUYS KNOW HOW AMAZING SHE IS, BUT WE JUST WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO ACKNOWLEDGE HER, HER EFFORTS.

SO THANK YOU FOR BEING AN OUTSTANDING COMMUNITY PARTNER.

THANK YOU.

SO WELCOME.

AND I DO WANNA SAY, UM, COOK'S CHILDREN HAS BEEN AN AMAZING PARTNER.

UH, THEY'VE PROVIDED SO MANY RESOURCES.

[5.A. Discuss/Take action on ongoing reporting of bond projects to Commissioners Court by Freese & Nichols. (Chris Bosco / Commissioner Holt / Judge Deen)]

TAKE ACTION.

ON ONGOING REPORT OF BONDING PROJECTS FOR COMMISSIONER COURT BY FREEZING NIPPLES.

CHRIS BWAY WAY.

CHRIS BOSCO WITH FRIES NICHOLS.

UH, I, I WENT AHEAD.

UM, IN THE REPORT, I, YOU KNOW, I HAD SWITCHED TO HAVE THAT SCHEDULE FORMAT.

I WENT AHEAD AND ADDED IN THE BULLET ITEMS. 'CAUSE I WAS THINKING THAT FOR THOSE THAT AREN'T LISTENING, IF THEY'RE DOWNLOAD THE PDF, THAT KIND OF GIVES THEM THE COMPLETE, UH, PICTURE THERE.

UH, SO PROGRAM ACTIVITIES, UM, SO FM FIVE AND THE I 20 RAMPS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE TIP.

SO A COUPLE THINGS ON THE DIFFERENT ITEMS HERE.

UH, THE MTP IS THE METROPOLITAN, UH, TRANSPORTATION PLANTS.

SO YOU CAN THINK OF THAT AS COGS PLAN FOR PROJECTS THAT NEED TO HAPPEN.

AND THE TIP IS, IS THE FUNDING PART OF THAT.

AND SO, UH, THE FM FIVE INTERSECTION OF BANQUETTE AND THE RAMPS, YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE TWO PROJECTS THAT HAVE HAD FUNDING COMMITTED.

AND SO THAT, THAT FUNDING'S BEEN FINALIZED IN THE TIP.

AND THEN OLD WEATHERFORD ROAD THAT YOU SEE THERE, AS I'VE HAD ON PAST REPORTS, HAS BEEN IN THE TIP.

AND WE ARE JUST FILED FOR AN AMENDMENT, UH, TO INCREASE THE FUNDING ON THAT PROJECT.

UH, SO FM SEVEN 30 AND 1187, UH, THE COG HAD SENT THE JUDGE A LETTER SAYING WE NEED TO GET THAT ADDED TO THE MTP.

SO, UH, CYNTHIA AND I ARE WORKING ON THAT GETTING, UH, THOSE TWO ADDED AND THEN THEY'LL BE ADDED TO THE TIP.

SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE A TWO STEP PROCESS.

UH, I THINK THE GOOD NEWS IS THOSE PROJECTS, WE HAVE A COUPLE YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT ANYWAYS.

'CAUSE ULTIMATELY YOU HAVE TO BE ON THE TIP TO GO TO CONSTRUCTION.

AND SO THOSE ARE THE STEPS WE, AND I WANTED TO KIND OF NOTE.

IN 24, WE ACTUALLY GOT 33 25 EXTENSIONS.

SO THIS IS WHERE, UH, CHURCH ROAD IS EXTENDING.

WE ALREADY GOT THAT ADDED TO THE MTP.

AND SO ONCE THAT BECOMES, UM, AN OFFICIAL PROJECT WITH TECH STOCK, THEN IT WILL GET ADDED TO THE TIP.

SO IT'S KIND OF A LOT OF LANGUAGE THERE, BUT THESE ARE THE STEPS WE TAKE,

[00:25:01]

UH, AND THEN I, I PUT ON THERE THE, THE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE FUND.

I THINK WE'RE IN GOOD SHAPE ON THAT, UH, AS, UH, THOSE PROJECTS ARE KIND OF GETTING FINALIZED, UH, SO THAT WE CAN GET THE REIMBURSEMENT.

UM, THE, I, I KNOW THAT KELLY RHODES RECENTLY WRAPPED UP, SO THAT THAT WAS ONE.

AND THEN ZION, UH, LOOP IS THE, THE FINAL ONE THERE.

UH, ANOTHER ELEMENT THAT CYNTHIA AND I ARE WORKING ON IS COG HAS A DATA SHARING PROGRAM.

UH, AND SO THAT'S LARGELY LIKE GIS DATA AROUND NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THE COUNTY, NEW SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTY.

UH, SO I, I THINK THAT'S GONNA BE A BENEFICIAL THING FOR Y'ALL AS WELL AS WE'LL, WE'RE KIND OF GATHERING THAT DATA, UM, UH, THROUGH Y'ALL'S 9 1 1 SYSTEM AND THE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING ON.

BUT I THINK THOSE WILL BE HELPFUL, UH, TO PAIR WITH THE TRANSPORTATION MAPS.

WE ALL CAN KIND OF SEE HOW DEVELOPMENT HAS OCCURRED OVER, SAY, THE LAST 10 YEARS, AND WE COULD SEE HOW THAT RELATES TO, UH, THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS THAT, UH, HAVE BEEN DONE AS PART OF THE BONDS.

UH, SO PRECINCT UPDATES, UH, SO THIS IS, I I WENT AHEAD AND KEPT THIS IN HERE AS KIND OF THE COMPREHENSIVE LOOK, UH, FOR ANYONE, UH, IN THE PUBLIC THAT WANTS TO KIND OF SEE A SNAPSHOT.

UH, BUT I'M GONNA GO INTO DETAIL, UH, BY PRECINCT HERE.

SO PRECINCT ONE, UM, KIND OF THE KEY HIGHLIGHTS IN PRECINCT ONE IS WN WOODY IS, UH, BEING ADVERTISED.

UH, SO WE'RE LOOKING TO GET THOSE BIDS, UH, HERE IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

AND THEN, UH, GO TO CONSTRUCTION, UH, LIKELY BE LATE MARCH, I PUT APRIL THERE.

AND THEN, UH, IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THAT, WE'RE LOOKING TO ADVERTISE, UH, MIDWAY ROAD, UH, AS, AS KIND OF THE SECOND ONE TO GO TO BID THERE.

UH, WE'RE WORKING ON THE MARKET STUDY, UH, FOR THE RIGHT OF WAY NEEDED ON CHURCH ROAD.

SO THE RIGHT OF WAY DOCUMENTS ARE DONE AND WE'RE GETTING THOSE VALUES TO BRING BEFORE YOU.

UH, SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE KEY ELEMENTS THERE.

WE HAVE BEEN DOING SOME COORDINATION WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER THAT OWNS THE INTERSECTION THERE AT FM FIVE AND FIELD OR FM 51 AND FIELD STATION.

UH, THAT'S, UH, SIMILAR TO THE JOHNSON BEND GREEN ACRES, THAT'S A REALIGNMENT, UH, REALLY A SAFETY PROJECT AT THAT LOCATION.

AND THIS SHOWS YOU, UH, I WENT AND KEPT THE SCHEDULES IN HERE.

UH, FOR THOSE THAT WANT TO DOWNLOAD THIS PDF, THEY CAN KIND OF SEE, UH, BUT YOU'LL SEE THE SEVERAL KIND OF GOING TO CONSTRUCTION.

OF COURSE, W AND WOODY, WE EXPECT TO GO TO CONSTRUCTION THIS QUARTER AND THEN MIDWAY IN CHURCH WOULD, UH, WOULD FOLLOW THAT BEGINNING IN THE SECOND QUARTER.

UH, PRECINCT TWO, UH, SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS THERE.

UH, WE HAD THE PUBLIC MEETING ON THE 24TH, UH, OF, UH, JANUARY.

AND SO WE'RE KIND OF GOING TOWARDS, UH, GETTING THAT PROJECT ADVERTISED.

UH, AND, UH, WE GOT, YOU KNOW, POSITIVE FEEDBACK THERE.

THE, THE MAIN THING WE WANNA DO THE PUBLIC MEETING ON IS, UH, IS THE FACT THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GO TO A ONE-WAY ROAD, UH, DURING THE PHASING OF CONSTRUCTION.

UH, AND SO, AND THEN THAT, THAT HAS SPURRED SOME COORDINATION WITH, UH, SOME OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS THAT HAVE BUSINESSES IN TERMS OF KEEPING THEM ACCESS DURING CONSTRUCTION.

UH, THE JOHNSON MIN GREEN ACRES, THAT'S ALSO OUT FOR BID.

UH, SO THAT ONE WE'RE DOING IN A TWO-PHASE BID WHERE WE'VE, UH, REQUESTED BIDS FOR THE ASBESTOS, UH, REMOVAL.

AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE, UH, AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR, UH, THE, THE ROAD CONSTRUCTION.

SO THOSE WILL KIND OF BE A CONCURRENT BID PROCESS THERE, STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION ON ELLIS CREEK AND ARE LOOKING TO FINISH UP THE SUBDIVISION WORK AND THEN GO TO THE ZION HILL LOOP SEVEN 30, UH, EXTENSION IS, UH, THE HALF IS, UH, IN THE PROCESS OF DOING THEIR DRAINAGE STUDY WORK, ENVIRONMENTAL WORK AND SURVEY.

SO THEY'RE KIND OF AT THAT BEGINNING PARTS OF THAT PROJECT, UH, AS, UH, AS Y'ALL HAD GOT THEM UNDER CONTRACT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.

UH, SO THIS KIND OF SHOWS YOU THE SCHEDULE PICTURE THERE, UH, WITH ELLIS CREEK KIND OF ACTIVELY UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND LOOKING FOR A JOHNSON, BEN AND GREEN ACRES TO BE THE NEXT PROJECT UNDER CONSTRUCTION WITH OAK RIDGE TO FOLLOW, UH, IN PRECINCT THREE.

UM, SO THE KEY HIGHLIGHTS HERE, UH, SO RICK WILLIAMSON IS THE PROJECT WE'RE LOOKING TO ADVERTISE NEXT.

WE'RE JUST DOING KIND OF FINAL COORDINATION EFFORTS WITH WEATHERFORD AND, AND

[00:30:01]

UH, THE RAMP PROJECT IS PROGRESSING.

UH, THEY DID HAVE TO THE INTERSTATE ACCESS JUSTIFICATION, UH, WE HAD GOTTEN SOME COMMENTS FROM, UH, TEXO AUSTIN.

AND SO THEY'VE, UH, MADE THOSE REVISIONS AND HAVE RESUBMITTED AND THEN, UH, THEY'RE ACTIVELY WORKING ON THE 60% PLANS FOR, FOR THAT RAMP AND ARE TARGETING TO DELIVER THOSE TO TECH STOCK IN MARCH.

UH, AND THEN I STILL HAVE THE FRONTAGE ROAD PROJECT HERE.

WE'RE, UH, TALKING WITH TECH STOCK ON THE PHASING.

UH, AT THE MOMENT IN OUR LAST CONVERSATIONS, THEY WERE GONNA PROCEED WITH THE SCHEMATIC WORK AND THEN WE WOULD FOLLOW WITH THE FINAL DESIGN.

UH, BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MAMIE FLIPPING THAT, WHERE WE CAN GO AHEAD AND PROGRESS THE SCHEMATIC WORK, UH, AHEAD, UH, AS THEY'RE KIND OF, UH, FOCUSED ON OTHER AREAS OF 20.

AND WE FEEL LIKE ADVANCING THE FRONTAGE ROADS WOULD BE, ARE THEY, ARE THEY GIVING US DIRECTION ON WHICH AREAS TO DO FIRST THAT ALIGNS WITH WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO BEGIN? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? YEAH, SO WHAT WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT IS, IS TO GO AHEAD AND DO ALL THE FRONTAGE ROAD WORK, AND THEY WOULD COME IN AND DO THE RAMP SWITCHING.

OKAY.

SO THE RAMP SWITCHING KIND OF TIES BETTER TO THE MAIN LANE WORK, BUT THE IDEA IS THAT WE WOULD GO OUT AND ADVANCE THE FRONTAGE ROADS THEMSELVES WITHOUT CHANGING THE RAMPS, AND THEN THEY WOULD COME IN AND DO THE RAMP WORK.

UM, SO HERE'S KIND OF, UH, SHOWING YOU THE SCHEDULE BREAKDOWN THERE.

UH, LOOKING FOR RICK WILLIAMSON TO BE THE FIRST PROJECT UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

UM, AND, UH, WITH, UH, WITH PRECINCT THREE, AND THEN IN PRECINCT FOUR, UM, WE'RE KIND OF IN THE SAME, UH, STAGES AS BOTH CHURCH AND OAK RIDGE, WHERE WE'VE, UH, THAT ONE HAS, UH, SEVERAL RIGHT OF WAY, UH, ACQUISITIONS.

SO WE GOT KIND OF A FIRST, UH, PHASE OF THE RIGHT OF WAY DOCUMENTS.

SO WE'RE BASICALLY KIND OF STARTING EAST AND WORKING OUR WAY WEST.

UH, AND SO, UM, WE'RE STARTING THE APPRAISALS ON THOSE.

AND, AND THAT'S, SOME OF THEM WE'RE DOING A MARKET STUDY ON IF IT'S VACANT LAND, UH, SIMILAR TO WHAT WE DID ON OAK RIDGE.

UH, BUT IF THERE'S A, A BUSINESS NEARBY OR SOME, UH, YOU KNOW, CHANGES TO THE PROPERTY, THEN WE'RE DOING APPRAISALS.

UH, AND THEN WE'RE WORKING WITH, WE GOT, UH, SOME FEES FROM THE, A BRIDGE ENGINEER TO HELP US ON THE BANKHEAD BRIDGE.

AND SO WE'RE KIND OF FINALIZING THAT COORDINATION AND LOOKING TO BRING THAT TO COURT NEXT MONTH.

UH, AND THEN OLD WEATHERFORD ROAD IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

THEY'VE KIND OF FINISHED THE, THE GRADING WORK AND, UH, NOW ARE PUTTING IN THE, THE LARGER DRAINAGE INFRASTRUCTURE, UH, ON THAT PROJECT.

AND THEN 1187 WIDENING IS SIMILAR TO SEVEN 30.

UH, ONG PERKINS KIND OF IN THAT EARLY STAGE OF DOING THE SURVEY AND THE STUDY WORK, UH, KELLY ROAD SOUTH IS ONE WHERE WE'RE ABOUT 60% THROUGH THE DESIGN.

[7.F. Approval and Authorize County Judge to sign authorization for Optum Bank for bulk transfers of employees Health Savings Account. (Becky McCullough / Judge Deen)]

BECKY, UM, THIS IS JUST AN AGREEMENT WITH OPTUM BANK THAT WILL ALLOW A BULK TRANSFER FROM EMPLOYEE HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNTS IF THEY CHOOSE TO DO SO.

AN EMPLOYEE HAS TO OPT IN, WE'VE GIVEN THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO.

MM-HMM IF THIS IS APPROVED, WE WILL ALSO SEND OUT A SECONDARY OPTION FOR THEM TO DO SO FOR THEM TO COMBINE THEIR HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT THAT THEY HAD AT OPTUM BANK TO THEIR NEW HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT THAT THEY HAD AT HEALTH EQUITY BANK.

THE BENEFIT OF DOING A BULK TRANSFER FOR EMPLOYEES IS THERE IS A $20 WIRE FEE PER ACCOUNT AND THAT'S 'CAUSE THAT'S BANK TO BANK, IT'S GONNA GO FROM OPTIN TO HEALTH EQUITY.

SO IF THEY OPT INTO THE BULK TRANSFER, THE COUNTY ACTUALLY WILL BE BILLED THE $20 FEE.

BUT THEN BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD IS GONNA REIMBURSE US THE $20 FEE.

SO IT WOULD BE NO COST TO THE COUNTY.

OKAY.

WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HALE, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CONNOLLY.

IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIE FIVE VOTE.

BECKY.

THIS IS JUST OUR ANNUAL AGREEMENT WITH PEBC THAT UM, WE HAVE TO SIGN EVERY YEAR FOR THE INTERLOCAL.

THIS IS THE CO-OP THAT WE HAVE WITH DENTON, DALLAS, TARRANT, AND THE TOLLWAY ASSOCIATION.

IT IS HANDLED BY A GROUP CALLED PBC THAT ARE EMPLOYEES OF COG.

UM, SO PBC PRESENTS A BUDGET TO THEIR, TO THE BOARD EVERY YEAR AND THEN THE BOARD APPROVES THAT BUDGET AND THEN EACH COUNTY IS ONLY BILLED FOR THEIR COST SHARE.

SO PBC ACTUALLY REALLY DID A GREAT JOB THIS LAST YEAR OF CUTTING THEIR BUDGET FOR 2025.

SO OUR COST SHARE IS GOING IS UM, IT'S GONNA BE 2.9%, WHICH ANNUALLY WE WOULD PAY 51,371 LAST YEAR.

SO THAT'S GOING DOWN TO 47,671.

AND I ALWAYS JUST LIKE TO POINT OUT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A GREAT UM, THING FOR PARKER COUNTY.

PBC HAS BEEN REALLY GREAT FOR US FOR US TO PAY $47,000 ANNUALLY TO HAVE THE CONSULTANTS THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE THE TEAM BEHIND US THAT HELPS ADMINISTRATOR OUR HEALTH PLAN.

WITH THIS LAST BUDGET, WE DID HAVE SOME EMPLOYEES THAT WITH THE COLAS OR IN YOUR BUDGET BOOKS, YOU KNOW, I HAD A LITTLE BLURB IN THERE THAT THIS IS GONNA MAKE THIS PERSON GO OVER MAX.

SO THIS ACTUALLY CAME FROM A, FROM A CONVERSATION WITH COMMISSIONER HALE AND I IS TO UPDATE THE SCALE TO REFLECT THOSE, THE PAST COLAS OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS.

SO THAT'S WHAT I DID.

IT'S TECHNICALLY 17%, UM, IS WHAT I DID TO KIND OF PUT THIS BACK IN LINE.

UH, IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS REALLY, I MEAN, AT LEAST FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, IT'S WORKED OUT REALLY WELL.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD IN OUR NEW FINANCIAL SOFTWARE SYSTEM THAT WILL ACTUALLY BE IMPLEMENTED INTO THE SYSTEM.

SO BY GETTING IT UPDATED NOW LET'S US GET THAT DONE AS WELL AS BEFORE WE START WORKING ON FISCAL 26 BUDGET.

ALRIGHT, WELL DONE MR. HA.

THANK YOU WITHOUT YOUR INTERACTION.

BECKY.

BECKY, YOU WELCOME.
