[5.L Homeland Security Memorandum of Understanding Consideration and possible action to approve a Memorandum of Understanding between U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations and the City of Georgetown and authorize the Police Chief to execute -- Cory J. Tchida, Police Chief]

UNANIMOUSLY. FIRST UP, WE GOT FIVE L. COREY, IS THAT YOU? AND I SEE MARY CAGLIOSTRO HERE. I GOT YOUR FORM. GOOD TO SEE YOU, MARY. MARY. OKAY, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM. I THINK KIND OF AS WE GO THROUGH THIS, THE MAIN THING, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS WHETHER THAT BE ON COUNCIL OR IN OUR COMMUNITY, WHAT THIS IS AND WHAT THIS IS NOT. AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE THE TO HAVE THE DISCUSSION SPECIFICALLY, WHAT THIS MOU WILL AUTHORIZE IS IT WILL DESIGNATE THE SELECT GEORGETOWN POLICE K-9 OFFICERS. AND FOR EVERYONE'S UNDERSTANDING, LIKE RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE THREE K-9 OFFICERS. SO IT'D BE THREE PEOPLE AS CUSTOMS OFFICERS TO ASSIST HOMELAND SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS. WHEN A K-9 IS NEEDED, IT WOULD ONLY APPLY DURING THE HOMELAND SECURITY DIRECTED OPERATIONS. ALL K-9 OFFICERS WILL REMAIN GPD EMPLOYEES UNDER CITY AND DEPARTMENT POLICIES. AND THIS IS, I WILL SAY THIS MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR, AND I'LL DISCUSS SOME OF THE DIFFERENTIATION IN A MINUTE, IS THIS DOES NOT GRANT THEM THE AUTHORITY, NOR DO WE HAVE THE DESIRE TO ENFORCE ANY ADMINISTRATIVE IMMIGRATION VIOLATIONS. THIS IS I'LL EXPLAIN IN A MINUTE, BUT THERE IS A VERY BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN C AND THE FEDERAL PARTNERS THAT ARE OUT THERE DOING DOING IMMIGRATION DESIGNATION TRAINING, AND ANY C ISSUED EQUIPMENT ARE GOVERNED BY HSA POLICY AND THE SIGNED MOU. AND I CAN TELL YOU, THERE'S REALLY NOT GOING TO BE MUCH IN THE WAY OF, OF ANY C ISSUED EQUIPMENT. WE HAVE OUR OWN EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING BODY CAMERAS. SO THIS IS NOT TO I THINK IT'S JUST HELPFUL TO UNDERSTAND THIS. BUT WHEN WE LOOK AT HOMELAND SECURITY AND WE ASK OURSELVES, WHO ARE THEY, YOU KNOW, HOME OR, OR HOMELAND SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS FALLS UNDER THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY. THERE ARE MULTIPLE THINGS THAT FALL UNDER THERE, INCLUDING THE COAST GUARD, CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION, CYBERSECURITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY, FEMA, THE FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING CENTERS. THE SECRET SERVICE ACTUALLY USED TO BE UNDER THE TREASURY AND AFTER AFTER THE EVENTS OF OF THE WORLD TRADE CENTER ATTACKS AND ALL THE REORGANIZATION. NOW THE SECRET SERVICE FALLS UNDER HOMELAND SECURITY. AND, OF COURSE, TSA. SO WHEN WE LOOK AT IMMIGRATIONS AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT, ICE, I THINK ALL OF THE. FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, ALL OF THE DIALOG OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS HAS BEEN FOCUSED ON THE I IN ICE, WHICH IS IMMIGRATION, RIGHT? WHEN WE WHEN WE LOOK AT ICE, IT ACTUALLY REALLY INVOLVES TWO PRIMARY COMPONENTS. ONE IS THE ONE THAT IS GENERATING A LOT OF THE DISCUSSION AND CONTROVERSY IN THIS COUNTRY, AND THAT IS ENFORCEMENT AND REMOVAL OPERATIONS. THAT IS ESSENTIALLY THE I AND ICE. THAT IS IMMIGRATION. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HOMELAND SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS AND HOMELAND SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS REALLY

[00:05:01]

IS MORE LEANS TOWARDS THEY DON'T DO IMMIGRATION. THEY MORE ON THE CUSTOM SIDE OF IT. SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THAT, IT IS IT IS ICE'S CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIVE DIRECTORATE. BUT THIS IS KIND OF THE BROAD LEVEL OF WHAT THEY DEAL WITH. THEY INVESTIGATE TRANSNATIONAL CRIME TO INCLUDE NARCOTICS, WEAPONS, HUMAN TRAFFICKING, SMUGGLING, CYBER FINANCIAL CRIMES. THEY'RE VERY INVOLVED IN STOPPING TRANSNATIONAL CHILD EXPLOITATION AS ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THEY DEAL WITH, OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS A LOT OF OVERLAP SOMETIMES AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL. OBVIOUSLY, DEA DEALS WITH DRUGS, BUT BECAUSE IT HAS SMUGGLING ASPECTS, HSI DOES DEAL WITH NARCOTICS AS WELL. AND THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY WOULD HAVE A PRIMARY INTEREST IN HAVING HAVING OUR K-9S AVAILABLE AS AN ASSET, BECAUSE OUR CANINES ARE OBVIOUSLY ARE TRAINED TO DETECT NARCOTICS. THEY DO WORK WITH LOCAL, STATE, FEDERAL AND INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS TO DISMANTLE CRIMINAL NETWORKS. YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE AREAS WHERE WE COULD CERTAINLY SEE LEVERAGING THIS RELATIONSHIP IN THE FUTURE IS WITHOUT GETTING TOO MUCH IN DETAIL, THERE ARE COMMUNITIES, INCLUDING OURS, THAT HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THINGS LIKE MASSAGE PARLORS AND MASSAGE. MASSAGE PARLORS CAN HAVE A STRONG NEXUS TO HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND HUMAN SMUGGLING, AND HAVING SOME AVAILABILITY TO HAVE A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE WHO HAS A BROADER REACH THAN US. BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS WE FOUND OUT IN THE PAST WHEN DEALING WITH A LOCAL MASSAGE PARLOR THAT WAS DOING ILLICIT THINGS, IS HOW QUICKLY THAT SPIDERWEBBED OUT FROM GEORGETOWN ACROSS THE STATE AND THEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY. SO HAVING SOME FEDERAL ASSISTANCE WITH THAT AND SOME EXPERTISE AND RESOURCES IS HELPFUL. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO DELINEATE BETWEEN HOMELAND SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS AND ERO, THE ENFORCEMENT AND REMOVAL OPERATIONS, HOMELAND SECURITY INVESTIGATORS, THEY ARE CRIMINAL AND THEY CONDUCT CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS AND FEDERAL CRIME ENFORCEMENT.

PRIMARILY, THEIR DUTIES FALL UNDER TITLE 18 AND 19 OF THE UNITED STATES CODE TO BUILD CRIMINAL CASES. THEY OPERATE, BE A SEARCH AND ARREST WARRANTS AND CONDUCT COMPLEX INVESTIGATIONS. AND THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR CIVIL IMMIGRATION ARRESTS OR REMOVALS THAT FALLS UNDER ERO ENFORCEMENT REMOVAL OPERATIONS. WHO ARE THE CIVIL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT ARM OF ICE? THEY MANAGE ARREST, DETENTION AND REMOVAL UNDER TITLE EIGHT. THEY RUN PROGRAMS LIKE THE 287 PROGRAM, WHICH YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD A LOT ABOUT. WE ARE NOT A PARTICIPATING 287 G AGENCY AND HAVE NO PLANS ON DOING SO AT THIS TIME. AND THEIR MISSION IS SEPARATE FROM CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS. SO WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A CUSTOMS OFFICER? ACCEPTED. IT'S A TEMPORARY FEDERAL DESIGNATION UNDER TITLE 19 TO PERFORM THE DUTIES OF A CUSTOMS OFFICER WHILE ASSISTING. SEE ALL OF THE. SEE INVESTIGATORS ARE ESSENTIALLY CUSTOMS OFFICERS AND IT ALLOWS FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT TASKS DURING HSI OPERATIONS LIKE SERVING PROCESS AND MAKING FELONY ARRESTS. THE SCOPE CAN AND WILL BE LIMITED. WE'LL SHOW YOU LATER ON THE THE THE FORM THAT WAS REFERENCED IN THERE EXCLUDES CIVIL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT AND UNRELATED ACTIVITIES. BEFORE THEY CAN BE DESIGNATED. THEY DO HAVE TO REQUIRE SOME LEVEL OF AGENCY TRAINING. AND OF COURSE, IF THEY EVER MISUSE THEIR DESIGNATION AS CUSTOMS OFFICERS, THEY CAN HAVE THAT DESIGNATION REVOKED. SO WHAT THAT MEANS FOR US THAT THERE'S A VERY SPECIFIC SCOPE. WE WOULD ONLY BE ACTIVATED WHEN HSC REQUEST A TRAINED POLICE CANINE FOR DETECTION SUPPORT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANTED TO BE ASSURED IS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE WERE NOT GOING TO BE GOING TO DALLAS FOR NSAS INVESTIGATION.

IT WOULD BE IT WOULD BE, GENERALLY SPEAKING, IN OUR AREA, THESE THE CANINE OFFICERS THAT MIGHT BE ASSISTING, THEY DON'T CARRY ANY TYPE OF HSC CASELOAD. LIKE RIGHT NOW. JUST WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS WITH FEDERAL AGENCIES, OF COURSE, WE HAVE A FULL TIME RELATIONSHIP WITH DEA. WE HAVE AN OFFICER THAT IS ASSIGNED FULL TIME TO THE HAIDA IN AUSTIN. WE'VE HAD THAT FOR YEARS. WE HAVE A PART TIME PERSON WHO WORKS PART TIME FOR THE US MARSHALS, LONE STAR FUGITIVE TASK FORCE. AND IN THOSE ASSIGNMENTS, THE. LIKE THE OFFICER THAT'S ASSIGNED TO DEA IN MUCH THE SAME WAY AS THIS IS DESIGNATED AS A AS A TASK FORCE OFFICER, A TFO UNDER. AND THEY ARE FEDERALLY DEPUTIZED. SAME THING FOR THE US MARSHALS OFFICE. SO IT'D BE VERY SIMILAR TO THAT. THE CANINE OFFICERS, LIKE I SAID, THEY DON'T CARRY ANY TYPE OF HSI CASELOAD. THEY REMAIN ON A REGULAR DUTIES AND RESPOND AS NEEDED OR IF REQUESTED. GENERALLY SPEAKING, OPERATIONS MAY OCCUR WITHIN OUR REGIONAL JURISDICTIONS CONSISTENT WITH A GPD K-9 POLICY. RIGHT NOW, IF WE RECEIVED A PHONE CALL AT TWO

[00:10:01]

IN THE MORNING TO GO ASSIST LEANDER PD, IF THEY DIDN'T HAVE A K9 AVAILABLE AND WE DID, WE WOULD SEND THEM. NOW, JUST BY THE SAME TOKEN, IF HSI CONTACT CONTACTED US TONIGHT AND SAID, HEY, WE HAVE A SEARCH WARRANT IN THE MORNING AND WE NEED A, WE NEED A NARCOTICS CANINE. WE WOULD ASSIST THEM RIGHT NOW. WE WOULD WE WOULD DO THAT OUTSIDE, OUTSIDE OF THIS AGREEMENT AS WELL. WE ASSIST OTHER AGENCIES ALL THE TIME AND THEY ASSIST US. ONE OF THE ONLY THINGS IS WHAT THIS COULD COULD HELP WITH IS THERE'S A LOT OF TIMES, YOU KNOW, WE WE DEAL WITH THIS NOW, ESPECIALLY WITH DEA, IF THERE IS MONIES OR PROPERTY SEIZED. AND WE ARE WE ARE UNDER THIS UNDER THIS MOU, LIKE THE LIKE THE AGREEMENT WE HAVE WITH DEA, WE COULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE, DEPENDING ON OUR INVOLVEMENT OF ANY EQUITABLE SHARING AGREEMENTS.

WE WOULD ALSO, IF ANY OF THE. IF THEY REQUESTED ONE OF OUR CANINES AND A CANINE CAME OUT, WE COULD ALSO SUBMIT FOR REIMBURSEMENT THROUGH THROUGH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AS WELL.

CURRENTLY, SEE HAS THIS SIMILAR AGREEMENT WITH JUST TO NAME A FEW, AUSTIN PD, TEXAS DPS, AND WILLIAMSON COUNTY FOR THEIR FOR FOR CANINE SUPPORT AS NEEDED. HSC DOES ISSUE THE DESIGNATIONS AND PROVIDES THE TRAINING ON THE LAWS, POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. WE ENSURE THAT ONLY TRAINED CANINE OFFICERS ARE DESIGNATED AND FOLLOW HSI DIRECTIVES DURING ASSISTANCE, BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN OUR POLICIES AND PROCEDURES STILL TAKE PRECEDENCE. WE. YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A TIME WHERE THERE. WITH LIKE SPECIALLY THE US MARSHALS TASK FORCE DIDN'T WANT LOCAL OFFICERS WEARING BODY CAMERAS. AND IT LIKE IT GOT TO THE POINT WHERE THE FEDS WERE REALLY SLOW TO ADOPT BODY CAMERA STUFF. AND WE TOLD THEM IF OUR GUYS, IF OUR FOLKS AREN'T WEARING BODY CAMERAS, WE'RE NOT. WE'RE LIKE, WE'RE OUT. SO THEY NOW WE DO ALL THE THINGS WE NORMALLY DO. ALL OFFICERS, LIKE I SAID, REMAIN SUBJECT TO CITY AND GPD POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. AND OF COURSE, I CAN REVOKE THE DESIGNATION IF ANYBODY ABUSES IT. LIKE WE WOULDN'T WANT CANINE OFFICER GOING OUT ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND MAKING STOPS AND CLAIMING TO BE A CUSTOMS OFFICER. RIGHT. THAT'S IT'S ONLY TO SUPPORT THEIR THEIR CANINE NEEDS AS NEEDED. THE IMPACT IS THE REALITY IS, IS, YOU KNOW, CRIME DOESN'T KNOW, DOESN'T KNOW BOUNDARIES. AND SO WHERE WE CAN HELP PROVIDE VALUE TO TARGET CRIMINAL NETWORKS THAT ARE MOVING CONTRABAND, WHETHER IN THE CASE OF SEE WHETHER THAT CONTRABAND IS NARCOTICS AND OR PEOPLE OR MATERIAL HARMFUL TO KIDS, WE DEFINITELY SEE VALUE IN BEING INVOLVED IN THAT. IT DOES NOT CHANGE OUR ROLE IN IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT AND DOES NOT DEPUTIZE OFFICERS FOR CIVIL IMMIGRATION TASKS. WE. THIS IS, AGAIN, I CANNOT STATE STRONGLY ENOUGH. THIS DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT. IT DOES IMPROVE OUR COORDINATION WITH OUR FEDERAL PARTNERS WHILE KEEPING OUR OPERATIONS WITHIN LOCAL POLICIES AND LAWS. AND I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR ME IN CREATING THESE STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, WHETHER THEY BE MUNICIPAL, COUNTY, STATE, OR FEDERAL, IS WHEN WE HAVE A NEED. AND THERE'S SOMETHING HAPPENING HERE IN GEORGETOWN. FOR ME, IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO CALL PEOPLE AND NOT CALL AGENCIES. LIKE I DON'T WANT TO JUST SAY, HEY, I'M GOING TO CALL THE US MARSHAL SERVICE. I'M LIKE, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO CALL JOE AT THE US MARSHAL SERVICE AND SAY, HEY, WE'RE HAVING WE'RE HAVING AN ISSUE AND WE NEED YOUR HELP. AS I EXPLAINED, WE ALREADY DO HAVE EXISTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH DEA, WHICH IS FULL TIME, AND THE UNITED STATES MARSHAL SERVICE, SPECIFICALLY THE LONE STAR FUGITIVE TASK FORCE, ON A PART TIME ON A PART TIME BASIS. THOSE ALSO, WE DO SUBMIT FOR AS NEEDED FOR THE OVERTIME FROM FROM BOTH OF THOSE. AND THEN OF COURSE, DEA, WE'RE ALSO ABLE TO SUBMIT FOR EQUITABLE SHARING.

SO THE STATED. DOES THIS MAKE GPD AN IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT AGENCY. NO, IT DOES NOT. ERO HANDLES CIVIL IMMIGRATION. OUR CANINE SUPPORT IS ONLY FOR HOMELAND SECURITY, WHICH DOES NOT DO IMMIGRATION. WILL CANINE TEAMS OPERATE OUTSIDE GEORGETOWN? YES, BUT ONLY AS PERMITTED BY OUR POLICY. AND THE MOU AND JOINT OPERATIONS MIGHT BE COUNTY WIDE, BUT WE'RE NOT. LIKE I SAID, WE'RE NOT GOING TO DALLAS, WE'RE NOT GOING TO HOUSTON. WE'RE NOT DOING ANY OF THAT. WHAT ABOUT LIABILITY AND INJURIES? IF THEY ARE ACTING WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THEIR DUTY DURING A SEARCH OR WHATEVER, THEY C CAN PROCESS THE INJURY CLAIMS ARISING DURING DESIGNATED OPERATIONS PER FEDERAL POLICY. THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK, LIKE I SAID, THEY OPERATE UNDER 19 USC AND C IS AUTHORIZED TO DESIGNATE PERSONS AS CUSTOMS OFFICERS AND THEN 19.

[00:15:07]

USC ALSO TALKS ABOUT SOME OF THE ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY OF CUSTOMS CUSTOMS OFFICERS. THE MOU DOES GOVERN TRAINING, DOCUMENTATION AND EQUIPMENT PROTOCOLS DURING THE DESIGNATION PERIOD, AND IT GIVES THEM VERY LIMITED FEDERAL AUTHORITY WHEN ACTING ON OFFICIAL DUTIES. AND THAT SPECIFIC AUTHORITY IS GOVERNED BY THE ICE FORM 73001 AND ANY LISTED RESTRICTIONS. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO IS IT DOES NOT AGAIN, DOES NOT GRANT ADMINISTRATIVE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY. THIS IS WHEN WHEN WE LOOK AT THE THE ASPECT OF CIVIL LIABILITY FOR FOR BAD ACTS, NONE OF THESE FEDERAL AGREEMENTS ARE REALLY GOING TO HAVE A STRAIGHT UP EXEMPTION CLAUSE IN THEM, BECAUSE THERE'S TOO MANY VARIABLES INVOLVED IN THAT. IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU'RE DOING. RIGHT. AND I DON'T IF, SCOTT, IF I MISS SPEAK AT ANY POINT, HELP ME OUT. BUT IF THEY ARE OPERATING UNDER THE SCOPE OF THEIR GRANTED AUTHORITY, THEIR FEDERAL AUTHORITY, AND THEY'RE DOING WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING, THEN THE CHANCES ARE THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL TAKE THE LIABILITY IS HIGHER THAN IF THEY ARE OPERATING OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OR THEY'RE DOING BAD ACTS, THEN LIKELY WE WOULDN'T COVER THEM EITHER. IF THEY'RE COMMITTING REALLY BAD ACTS. IT DOES COVER CERTAIN INJURY CLAIMS. THE, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE RISK AREAS IS, OF COURSE, WE DON'T WANT ANYBODY THAT'S DOING THIS TO GO OUT, LIKE I SAID, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND MAKING STOPS ON THE INTERSTATE AND CLAIMING TO BE CUSTOMS OFFICERS, THAT WOULD NOT BE ACTING WITHIN THE SCOPE OF WHAT THIS MOU IS, NOR WHAT I WOULD EXPECT FROM THEM. AND WE CAN, OF COURSE, REQUIRE CLEAR SEA TASKING, MEANING THEY HAVE TO REQUEST US DOCUMENTATION, CASE NUMBERS. WE'RE DOING THAT ANYWAY, LIKE WHEN K-9S ARE CALLED OUT. REALLY, THEY HAVE A ROBUST TRACKING SOFTWARE AND OF COURSE POLICY GUIDANCE ABOUT WHERE WE'LL GO. I ALSO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE LIKE THIS DOES NOT OBLIGATE US TO SAY YES. LIKE IF THEY CALL THEM LIKE, HEY, WE NEED A K9, YOU KNOW, TOMORROW WE MIGHT NOT HAVE ONE AVAILABLE AND WE CAN TELL THEM NO, RIGHT. IT DOESN'T IT DOESN'T OBLIGATE US TO PROVIDE CANINES FOR THEM. IT'S IF WE IF WE DON'T HAVE AVAILABILITY OR FOR SOME OTHER REASON WE CAN'T OR IT DOESN'T MEET OUR CRITERIA A LITTLE SMALL TO SEE. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS THE, THE, THE 73001 FORM. THEY FILL IT OUT ONCE THEY DESIGNATE SOMEONE AND IT HAS A LOT OF DIFFERENT CHECK BOXES ON THERE. AND SOME OF THOSE, OF COURSE, WE WOULD REQUIRE AS WELL. AND ONE OF THE BOXES CHECKED IS IN THE TOP KIND OF IN THE TOP RIGHT THERE. IT SAYS THE TFO IS NOT GRANTED AUTHORITY TO ENFORCE ADMINISTRATIVE VIOLATIONS OF IMMIGRATION LAW. OF COURSE, THAT'S GOING TO BE A BIG DEAL FOR US. AND THERE IT'S PRETTY STANDARD FOR THEM TO CHECK THAT AS WELL. THEY ARE NOT THAT IS NOT WHAT THEY WANT US TO DO, BUT IT DESIGNATES THEIR STATUS, THEIR AUTHORITIES GRANTED, AND ANY RESTRICTIONS, WHICH THEY ONCE SAID ONCE, IF WE'RE AUTHORIZED TO DO THIS, THEN THAT'S WHEN THIS FORM GETS FILLED OUT SPECIFICALLY WITH THE THE INDIVIDUAL'S NAME, WHO IS BEING DESIGNATED. IF I CAN READ THE CAPTION CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN U.S. IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT, HOMELAND SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS, AND THE CITY OF GEORGETOWN AND AUTHORIZE THE POLICE CHIEF TO EXECUTE. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS FOR COREY? GOOD. THANKS, COREY, FOR THE PRESENTATION. IS THIS CORRECT TO SAY THAT I HEARD THIS CORRECTLY, THAT YOU WE CURRENTLY, WITHOUT THIS MOU WOULD ASSIST IN SOMETHING LIKE THIS WITH THE CANINE DOG IF THEY ASK. YES. AND WE HAVE AVAILABILITY AND ALL THE THINGS. YES. OKAY. WE'RE AVAILABLE. SO THE FORMALITY IS JUST, YOU KNOW, ALL THE REASONS THAT YOU STATED, YOU KNOW, HAVING HAVING A MORE FORMAL AGREEMENT, YOU KNOW, THE LIABILITY, ALL THOSE THINGS THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO FORMALIZE THIS. CORRECT? IS THAT FAIR? OKAY. HOW MANY TIMES CURRENTLY, I MEAN, SINCE WE IT SOUNDS LIKE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS OR WOULD HAVE BEEN ARE WE LIKE ANNUALLY? ARE WE CALLED OUT ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS? WE HAVE NOT BEEN CALLED OUT BY HSI YET. OKAY, SO THIS WAS JUST SOMETHING THAT WE WERE LIKE, OKAY, WELL, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE COULD DO HAVE THIS RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS ORGANIZATION. AND IT SEEMS LIKE A GOOD TIME TO FORMALIZE IT.

TYPICALLY, OUR, OUR CANINE CALL OUTS FROM OTHER AGENCIES ARE GOING TO BE FROM OTHER LOCAL AGENCIES THAT EITHER DON'T HAVE ANY ORGANIC CANINE CAPABILITY OR THEIR, THEIR DOGS ARE OFF FOR WHATEVER REASON. SO THAT'S TYPICALLY WHAT WE SEE. BUT WE HAVE NOT WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY FEDERAL PARTNERS REACH OUT TO US YET. OKAY. SO WE DON'T ANTICIPATE THERE BEING A HUGE UPTICK IN. NO. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. BEFORE WE HAVE A MOTION ON THIS, WE DO HAVE MARY SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. YOU KNOW HOW THE DRILL WORKS, MA'AM. GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL,

[00:20:10]

AND I WANT TO THANK Y'ALL FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS. AND THANK YOU, CHIEF, FOR GIVING ME THAT LITTLE SPIEL RIGHT BEFORE THE THE MEETING, BUT I I'M STILL CONCERNED ABOUT THIS MOU BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, LIKE HE JUST SAID, IF WE'RE ALREADY DOING THIS, WHY DO WE HAVE TO SIGN THIS? I MEAN, THERE'S OKAY, I SEE THE BENEFIT. I SEE A FORMAL, I GUESS IN WRITING, HAVING THE, THE FORM IN WRITING. BUT AS YOU STATED, WE, WE HAVE A TRUST HERE AND HE'S GAINED TRUST. I'VE GAINED TRUST IN THE COMMUNITY. AND THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE CONCERNED BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID. AND I INVITED SEVERAL PEOPLE, BUT I DON'T SEE THEM HERE OUT OF FEAR. I TOLD THEM THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO SPEAK AND IF THEY WERE COMFORTABLE TO COME DOWN. AND I THINK RICK IS THE ONLY ONE THAT SHOWED UP. BUT YOU KNOW, IF IF WE ARE.

RELATIVELY, I THINK, SAFE CITY OR TOWN, WHICHEVER YOU WANT US TO PUT US IN, I, I THINK I DON'T, I DON'T GET IT OR HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHY WE NEED THIS. AND THERE'S A FINE LINE WHEN THE OFFICER AND THE DOG AND THE OTHER AGENT, I THINK, GO OUT, ESPECIALLY WITH, AS A CHIEF WAS SAYING, IN THESE MASSAGE PARLORS HOW THE THE GIRLS DON'T WANT TO COOPERATE BECAUSE IF THEY CAN SEND MONEY TO GET A LOAF OF BREAD IS BETTER THAN NOT SENDING NOTHING. SO I'M GOING TO KEEP QUIET. AND JUST AS IMMIGRANTS THAT ARE HERE WORKING, I'VE SEEN VIDEOS OF OVERZEALOUS OFFICERS. IN SOME COMPROMISING SITUATIONS AND RIGHTS BEING VIOLATED. SO I STILL, YOU KNOW, WISH THAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER NOT ENTERING INTO THIS MOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU MA'AM, ALL RIGHT. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. MAYOR. I MOVE APPROVAL OF ITEM FIVE L AS PRESENTED. SECOND DISCUSSION NEEDED ON IT. ALL IN FAVOR. ALL RIGHT. THANK Y'ALL. WE'RE MOVING TO OUR LEGISLATIVE THE REST OF OUR LEGISLATIVE AGENDA.

[6.C Second Reading - Electric Rate Ordinance Updates Second reading and final approval of an Ordinance amending amending Chapter 13.04 of the City Code relating to electric rates, fees, and service provisions -- Daniel Bethapudi, Electric Utility General Manager]

SIX. C AND DANIELS TEAM IS GOING TO PRESENT THIS FOR US. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL. MY NAME IS VICTORIA KARAMARKO. I RECENTLY ACCEPTED THE CHIEF BUSINESS OFFICER POSITION FOR THE ELECTRIC UTILITY, SO I WANTED TO COME AND QUICKLY INTRODUCE MYSELF AND INTRODUCE THE TOPIC. AND MICHAEL, A LITTLE QUICK INTRO FOR ME. I STARTED ON THE OPERATIONS SIDE ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO AS A ESSENTIALLY A PROJECT MANAGER FOR OUR LARGE LOAD APPLICATIONS. I WORKED WITH OUR ENGINEERING AND OPERATIONS TEAM TO OVERSEE THOSE PROJECTS. AT THE TIME, THOSE PROJECTS WERE MOSTLY THE BUILDINGS IN THE TITAN AREA. WE WERE GETTING THOSE SHELL BUILDINGS ENERGIZED AND GETTING READY TO MOVE THE LARGE LOAD CUSTOMERS IN. WHEN WE STARTED WORKING WITH OUR LARGE LOAD CUSTOMERS, WE REALIZED THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SERVING THEM. THUS CAME THE KEY ACCOUNTS GROUP FOR THE ELECTRIC UTILITY. ALONG WITH THAT CAME THE VLCAD I RATE ORDINANCE UPDATES. WE CAME TO YOU ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AGO WITH OUR FIRST READING AND WORKSHOP, WITH OUR ELECTRIC RATE ORDINANCE UPDATES. SINCE THEN, WE HAVE MADE A FEW MORE UPDATES. WE CAUGHT A FEW MORE MISTAKES THAT WE COULD CORRECT IN THAT FIRST SINCE THAT FIRST READING. SO NOW WE ARE BRINGING TO YOU A POLISHED SECOND READING, AND MICHAEL SIMPSON IS GOING TO TALK THROUGH WHAT WE UPDATED SINCE THEN. THANK YOU VICTORIA. GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MY NAME IS MICHAEL SIMPSON. I'M AN ANALYST AT THE ELECTRIC UTILITY, AND I'LL BE WALKING THROUGH THE SECOND READING OF THE ELECTRIC RATE ORDINANCE UPDATES. FOR A BIT OF CONTEXT, THESE UPDATES WERE PRESENTED TO THE BOARD IN JULY. THEY WENT TO WORKSHOP IN JULY. THE FIRST READING WAS IN AUGUST AND THE SECOND READING IS THIS EVENING. STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THESE ORDINANCE UPDATES GO INTO EFFECT OCTOBER 1ST, 2026. AT THE BEGINNING OF FISCAL YEAR 27. SINCE THE FIRST READING. AFTER FURTHER REVIEW, WE IDENTIFIED A FEW CHANGES, RELATIVELY SMALL, THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE AND IMPROVE THE ORDINANCE. THERE ARE SLIDES FOR EACH OF THESE THAT I'LL GO INTO IN DETAIL.

FIRST CHANGE IS TO UPDATE THE DEFINITION OF BUILD DEMAND, NOT CHANGING THE MEANING BUT MAKING IT CLEARER. THE SECOND ONE IS ON A FEW. THE ITEMS IN THE LARGE COMMERCIAL AND VERY LARGE COMMERCIAL CLASSES WHERE WE CLARIFY WHAT'S THE EXACT DEMAND THRESHOLD BETWEEN THE CLASSES,

[00:30:03]

HOW MINIMUM BILLS ARE CALCULATED, HOW POWER FACTOR IS CALCULATED, AND ALSO EXTENDING ELIGIBILITY TO THE PRIMARY VOLTAGE DISCOUNT TO MONTH TO MONTH CUSTOMERS. AND THEN THE LAST ITEM WAS AN OVERSIGHT FROM THE FIRST READING IS WE DID NOT INCLUDE THE MONTH TO MONTH CUSTOMERS AND THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND CONSERVATION FEE SCHEDULE. SO WE'VE INCLUDED THEM AT THE SAME RATE AS THE LARGE COMMERCIAL AND VERY LARGE COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS. SO THE FIRST CHANGE THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGE AND THE FIRST READING SAID THAT BUILD DEMAND MAY BE BASED ON THE MEASURED PEAK DEMAND, MINIMUM DEMAND OR RATCHETED DEMAND AND THE DEFINITION SECTION. BUT WHEN YOU GO TO THE ACTUAL CLASS RATE SCHEDULE, IT CLARIFIES THAT IT'S BASED ON THE HIGHEST OF THE THREE. SO WE'VE MADE THAT DEFINITION CONSISTENT AND THE CLASS LEVEL RATE SCHEDULE AS WELL AS IN THE DEFINITION SECTION. SO THE NEXT ITEM WAS WE CLARIFIED THE 10,000 KILOWATT THRESHOLD BETWEEN THE TWO CLASSES. THE FIRST READING IT SAID 9999 OR LESS IS IN ONE CLASS, AND 10,000 OR HIGHER IS IN ANOTHER CLASS, LEAVING A ONE KILOWATT HOLE IN THE RATE SCHEDULE. SO WE'VE CLARIFIED THAT. THE NEXT ONE IS WE SIMPLIFIED THE LANGUAGE AROUND HOW MINIMUM BILLS ARE CALCULATED. THE THIRD ONE IS WE CLARIFIED THAT THE POWER FACTOR CORRECTION PENALTY IS CALCULATED DURING THE 15 MINUTE PEAK FOR THE MONTH. WE PREVIOUSLY DETAILED HOW POWER FACTOR IS CALCULATED, BUT WE DID NOT SPECIFY THE TIME PERIOD DURING WHICH IT IS CALCULATED. SO WE MADE THAT ADJUSTMENT. AND THE FOURTH ONE IS THE EXPLICIT INCLUSION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR PRIMARY VOLTAGE DISCOUNTS FOR MONTH TO MONTH, LARGE, COMMERCIAL AND VERY LARGE COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL CUSTOMERS. AND THEN THE LAST CHANGE IS THE EXPLICIT INCLUSION OF MONTH TO MONTH LARGE COMMERCIAL AND VERY LARGE COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS IN THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND CONSERVATION FEE SCHEDULE AT $25 PER MONTH, WHICH IS THE EQUIVALENT OF THEIR NON MONTH TO MONTH COUNTERPARTS. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON ON WAS IT SLIDE FIVE? NUMBER ONE. SO THE UPPER THRESHOLD OF 499,999KW FOR THE VERY LARGE LOAD. THAT'S. SO IF IT'S ABOVE THAT'S THE THE TOP NUMBER. SO IF THEY'RE ABOVE THAT THAT'S DONE ON A CUSTOMER BASIS NEGOTIATED WITH THE UTILITY. WHEN THEY GO ABOVE THAT NUMBER IS WHENEVER THEY HAVE TO COME NEGOTIATE. YEAH. I THINK AT THAT POINT IT'S WILD WILD WEST, IT'S ALREADY WILD WILD WEST.

BUT AT THAT POINT IT'S EVEN MORE RISKY. SO SO THE PEOPLE ABOVE THAT DON'T HAVE AN ACRONYM. YEAH. WILD WILD WEST ACRONYM. BUT I THINK THE POINT BEING, MR. PITTS, IS THEY'RE SO COMPLEX THAT IT'S GOING TO BE A BESPOKE KIND OF A CONTRACT WHERE WE CLEARLY IDENTIFY THE RISKS AND IT'S GOING TO BE A CONTRACT OR JUST A ONE OFF KIND OF A CONTRACT. AND OUR POLICY OR ORDINANCE ALREADY SAYS THAT PART OF IT THAT OR IS ASSUMED. OKAY. YEAH. ANYTHING ABOUT THAT IS GOING TO BE ON A ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD. OKAY. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MAYOR, MAY I READ THE CAPTION FOR THE SECOND READING? AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GEORGETOWN, TEXAS, AMENDING CHAPTER 1304, TITLE ONE, ENTITLED ELECTRIC RATES OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF GEORGETOWN RELATING TO ELECTRIC SERVICE RATES FOR VARIOUS CUSTOMER CLASSES, REPEALING CONFLICTING ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS, PROVIDING SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION, AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. THANK YOU SIR. ALL RIGHT. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION MOVE.

APPROVAL OF THE ORDINANCE IS READ SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[6.E Public Hearing on the Proposed FY2027 Drainage Utility Fee Public Hearing on the Proposed FY2027 Drainage Utility Fee -- April Haughey, Assistant Public Works Director]

WE HAVE OUR DRAINAGE UTILITY FEE AND APRIL IS GOING TO PRESENT.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL APRIL HOY, ASSISTANT PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR.

I AM HERE FIRST FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR STORMWATER RATES AND THEN SECOND FOR THE FIRST READING OF OUR ORDINANCE. BRIEF AGENDA FOR YOU. I'LL DO A QUICK BACKGROUND ON THE STORMWATER RATES, A BRIEF REVIEW OF THE COST OF SERVICE STUDY, AND THEN WE WILL CONDUCT THE STORMWATER RATE PUBLIC HEARING. STORMWATER RATES HAVE BEEN $6.50 PER EQUIVALENT RESIDENTIAL UNIT, OR ERU SINCE 2015. POPULATION GROWTH OF GREATER THAN 60% OVER THE LAST DECADE HAS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED OUR NEEDS FOR STORMWATER INFRASTRUCTURE, MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTIONS. BEING IN THE EDWARDS AQUIFER AQUIFER RECHARGE ZONE, WE HAVE ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS REQUIRED OF US THROUGH TCE Q WITH STRICTER WATER QUALITY ORDINANCES, IMPERVIOUS COVER LIMITS, AND SPECIALIZED STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLANS TO PREVENT GROUNDWATER POLLUTION. WE CURRENTLY HAVE $15.7 MILLION IN CAPITAL INVESTMENTS THROUGH PLANNED THROUGH FY 31. YOU MAY RECALL THAT WE PRESENTED THE STORMWATER COST OF SERVICE STUDY, REVIEW OR COST OF SERVICE STUDY IN MAY 26TH, AND THEN IT WAS SET AT THAT TIME THAT CURRENT STORMWATER RATES WOULD BE INSUFFICIENT TO COVER OUR PROPOSED EXPENSES, AND THEY RECOMMENDED RATE INCREASES IN BOTH FY 27 AND 29 TO COVER RISING EXPENSES AND RESTORE THE FUND BALANCE ADEQUACY. THE IMPACT TO OUR RATES ON CURRENT RATE $6.50 PER MONTH.

RESIDENTIAL AND PROPOSED RATE OF $8 PER MONTH. THE RATE IS THE SAME FOR NONRESIDENTIAL.

JUST GAVE AN EXAMPLE BECAUSE IT LOOKS A LITTLE DIFFERENT SINCE THEY HAVE MULTIPLE AREAS. SO WE USED AN AVERAGE OF TEN AREAS WHICH WOULD TAKE SOMEONE WITH A $65 BILL TO $80. AND THEN NEXT STEPS, AS REQUIRED BY STATE LAW. WE POSTED NOTICE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING IN THE WILLIAMSON COUNTY SUN ON AUGUST 5TH, NINTH, AND 23RD. WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO DO THE PUBLIC HEARING AND FIRST READING OF CHAPTER 1328 TO INCLUDE RATES, AND THEN THE SECOND READING WILL BE AT THE SEPTEMBER 22ND MEETING FOR CHAPTER 1328, DRAINAGE UTILITIES TO ALSO INCLUDE RATES.

AND THEN THE NEW RATES WOULD, IF APPROVED, WOULD BE IN EFFECT ON OCTOBER 1ST. ANY QUESTIONS? OH. YEAH. SORRY, I APOLOGIZE. ANOTHER ONE. ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. NO ONE HAS SIGNED UP TO SPEAK, SO I'LL CLOSE IT. A MOTION. DON'T JUST DO THE

[6.F First Reading - Amending Chapter 13.28 - Drainage Utility of the City of Georgetown Code of Ordinances First Reading of an Ordinance amending Chapter 13.28 – Drainage Utility of the City of Georgetown Code of Ordinances related to privately owned drainage systems, responsible parties, and the Drainage Utility fees -- April Haughey, Assistant Public Works Director]

PUBLIC HEARING. OKAY, THEN LET'S GO TO ITEM SIX F.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE DRIVING OR AM I DRIVING. ME OKAY. THANK YOU. SO THE MOUSE WAS MOVING WITHOUT ME. OKAY, SOME BACKGROUND ON CHAPTER 1328 DRAINAGE UTILITY.

IT WAS ORIGINALLY ADOPTED IN 2012, WITH ONLY ONE UPDATE IN 2015 WHERE RATE WAS CHANGED.

[00:40:04]

STATE LAW HAS CHANGED IN THE 14 YEARS, AND SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT'S CAPTURED IN OUR ORDINANCE. STORMWATER COST OF SERVICE STUDY WAS COMPLETED AND PRESENTED TO COUNCIL ON MAY 26TH. WE'VE HAD SEVERAL DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN STORMWATER AND UTILITY BILLING, WHERE WE IDENTIFIED A CONCERN WITH THE BILLING OF NONRESIDENTIAL PROPERTY OWNERS. CURRENTLY, SEVEN OF THE TOP TEN UNPAID ACCOUNTS ARE DRAINAGE ONLY ACCOUNTS, AND WE NEED TO ADDRESS SOME NEW REQUIREMENTS FROM T, C, Q TO REGULATE INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE OF STORMWATER INFRASTRUCTURE. SO OUR PROPOSED AMENDMENTS WE HAVE SOME MINOR LANGUAGE CLEANUP THROUGHOUT THE ORDINANCE FOR CONSISTENCY. DEFINING THE PRIVATELY OWNED DRAINAGE SYSTEMS. ESTABLISH MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PRIVATELY OWNED DRAINAGE SYSTEMS. ESTABLISHING THE RIGHT TO ACCESS PROPERTY SERVICED BY THE DRAINAGE UTILITY TO INSPECT, REPAIR OR ENFORCE UPDATE EXEMPTIONS AND PENALTIES TO REFLECT CURRENT STATE LAW. AND THEN SOME OF OUR LARGER CHANGES ARE SECTION 1328 100, WHICH IS OUR DRAINAGE UTILITY FEES. THE BILLING UNIT AREA VALUE REMAINS THE SAME. THE PROPOSED RATE IS TO CHANGE FROM 650 TO $8 AND THEN 1328115. RESPONSIBLE PARTY SPECIFICALLY TO OUR NONRESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS. THE CHANGE WOULD BE FOR THE PAYMENT TO THE REPAYMENT TO BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE UTILITY ACCOUNT HOLDER, AND IF THERE ARE NO OTHER UTILITIES, THEN THE RESPONSIBILITY IS OF THE PROPERTY OWNER. ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE I READ OR OKAY, THEN READ THE CAPTION FOR YOU. FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GEORGETOWN, TEXAS. AMENDING CHAPTER 13.28 TITLED DRAINAGE UTILITY OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF GEORGETOWN. REPEALING CONFLICTING ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS, INCLUDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. THANK YOU MA'AM. ANY QUESTIONS FOR APRIL ON THIS? ALL RIGHT.

[6.G First Reading - Woodside MUD Amended and Restated First Amendment to Consent Agreement First Reading of an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Georgetown, Texas approving the “Amended and Restated First Amendment to Consent Agreement,” between the City of Georgetown, Texas, MK Woodside Development, Inc., and Woodside Municipal Development District No. 1 to revise definitions, the applicable land use plan, tree preservation standards, and notice provisions -- Nick Woolery, Assistant City Manager, and Edgar Garcia, Planning Director]

BRINGS US TO ITEM SIX G. AND I THINK NICK IS GOING TO LEAD THIS ONE FOR US. ALL RIGHT.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THIS IS AN ITEM FOR WOODSIDE MUD NUMBER ONE. THIS IS THE AMENDED AND RESTATED FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE CONSENT AGREEMENT. I'M GOING TO GO OVER JUST A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND AND THEN SOME OF THE PROJECT LOCATION AND THEN COVER WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THIS AMENDMENT. SO SOME OF THE BACKGROUND, THIS CONSENT AGREEMENT WAS ORIGINALLY RECORDED BACK IN JULY OF 2022. IN MARCH OF 23, TC OFFICIALLY APPROVED WOODSIDE MUD NUMBER ONE. IN JANUARY OF 2025, THERE WAS AN ORIGINAL FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE CONSENT AGREEMENT, AND THAT WAS REGARDING TREE MITIGATION. IN MAY OF THIS YEAR, WE HELD OUR FIRST WORKSHOP ON THE THOMPSON TRACT, WHICH WOULD BE THE ADDITION TO WOODSIDE MUD. AND THEN ON JULY 28TH, WE HELD THAT SECOND WORKSHOP WHERE COUNCIL GAVE US SOME FINAL FEEDBACK ON THAT MUD EXPANSION. SO THIS AMENDMENT INCLUDES TWO TWO PRIMARY COMPONENTS. THE FIRST IS ADOPTING THE CITY'S NEW TREE PRESERVATION REQUIREMENTS. SO INSTEAD OF THE SPECIALIZED REQUIREMENTS THAT WERE IN THE AGREEMENT, THIS JUST BASICALLY SAYS THE DEVELOPER WILL FOLLOW WHAT'S IN THE UDC. OUR NEW UDC RELATED TO TREE PRESERVATION. THE SECOND THING THAT THIS DOES IS IT CONVERTS 143 UNITS IN PHASE B EAST, WHICH I'LL SHOW YOU ON THE MAP IN A MINUTE.

FROM SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENTIAL TO ACTIVE ADULT RESIDENTIAL. THIS IS IN LINE WITH THE DIRECTION PROVIDED BY COUNCIL IN REGARDS TO THE THOMPSON TRACT ADDITION TO WOODSIDE, THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST STEP IN AMENDING THE OVERALL LAND PLAN THAT WOULD CONVERT AN EXISTING SECTION OF WOODSIDE THAT LIES BASICALLY RIGHT IN BETWEEN THE EXISTING SUN CITY PORTION OF WOODSIDE AND THEN THE FUTURE SUN CITY THAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE THOMPSON TRACT. AND THEN THE NEXT TWO EXHIBITS THAT I'LL SHOW WILL KIND OF HIGHLIGHT THE EXISTING LAND PLAN AND THEN THE, THE AMENDED LAND PLAN. SO THIS IS THE THE EXISTING WOODSIDE LAND PLAN. PHASE B EAST IS THIS KIND OF ORANGE COLOR. EVERYTHING TO THE WEST OF THAT IS SUN CITY. AND THEN TO THE EAST OF THAT IS THE THOMPSON TRACT. THAT WOULD BE IN ADDITION TO SUN CITY IN THE FUTURE. AND THEN YOU'LL SEE HOW THE HOW THIS LAYS OUT. NOW, IF THIS AMENDMENT IS APPROVED, WHERE THIS SECTION IS, IS MOVED OVER AND ADDED INTO BASICALLY THE ACTIVE ADULT SECTION OF THE PROJECT. WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR READ

[00:45:04]

THE CAPTION. SURE. THIS IS AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF GEORGETOWN, TEXAS, APPROVING THE AMENDED AND RESTATED FIRST AMENDMENT TO CONSENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF GEORGETOWN MK WOODSIDE DEVELOPMENT INC AND WOODSIDE MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT. NUMBER ONE. TO REVISE DEFINITIONS, THE APPLICABLE LAND USE PLAN, TREE PRESERVATION STANDARDS AND NOTICE PROVISIONS PROVIDING THAT THIS IS. THIS ORDINANCE SHALL BE CUMULATIVE OF ALL ORDINANCES, PROVIDING SEVERABILITY CLAUSE AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

THANK YOU NICK. QUESTIONS FOR NICK ON THIS ONE. BEN. SO I UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU GO BACK TO I PROBABLY SLIDE SIX, THAT ONE IN THE NORTH, THAT IS WOODSIDE AND B IS CURRENTLY WOODSIDE. AND WE WANT TO MAKE IT SUN CITY. YES. AND THEN JUST SOUTH OF THAT IS MORE WOODSIDE.

SO WHAT WE'RE DOING IS MAKING SUN CITY CONTIGUOUS. BUT SEPARATING WOODSIDE FROM WOODSIDE. IS THAT THAT THE PLAN HERE. I MEAN THAT YOU COULD DESCRIBE IT THAT WAY. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE IT. I, I MEAN IT'S I GUESS SEPARATING THERE'S THERE'S SIDEWALKS AND STREETS THAT CONNECT THEM. SO I MEAN, IT'S, IT'S SEPARATED IN THAT. YEAH. THERE WILL BE A PIECE OF SUN SIDE IN SUN CITY IN BETWEEN THE NON AGE, AGE RESTRICTED AND THE AGE RESTRICTED. SO YEAH, THERE WILL BE A SEPARATE. I'M NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND THE REASONING BEHIND WHAT WHY WE WANT TO SEPARATE ONE ENTITY FOR A FUTURE DIFFERENT TO MAKE A CONTIGUOUS FUTURE ENTITY. IT THE THE GOAL. THE GOAL OF THE. OUR UNDERSTANDING. THE GOAL OF THE DEVELOPER IS IS WAS NOT NECESSARILY TO CREATE A SEPARATION, ALTHOUGH YOU'VE HIGHLIGHTED THAT IT DOES CREATE A SEPARATION. THE GOAL WAS TO CREATE THAT THAT CONTINUOUS FEEL OF SUN CITY. SO YOU DIDN'T HAVE YOU DIDN'T HAVE A FUTURE SUN CITY WHERE YOU WERE ENTERING NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS THAT WERE NOT SUN CITY TO GET TO SUN CITY, IF THAT MAKES SENSE. SO THAT. BUT ISN'T CREATING THAT ISSUE. ISN'T WOODSIDE 1HOA OR IS IT TWO DIFFERENT WAYS? WHAT. HOW ARE THEY GOVERNED? THERE ARE SO. SUN CITY HAS ITS OWN HOA AND THEN OH, I UNDERSTAND SUN CITY, BUT WE ALREADY HAVE AGREED TO A CONTIGUOUS WOODSIDE AND NOW WE'RE BREAKING IT INTO TWO. AND THAT SEEMS TO BE DISADVANTAGEOUS FOR THE EXISTING PEOPLE THAT ARE IN WOODSIDE THERE ON THE NORTH SIDE. THEY'RE GOING TO BE DISCONTIGUOUS FROM THE AMENITY CENTER AND EVERYTHING ELSE AND THAT SO THAT WE CAN SAY WE'RE CONTIGUOUS SOMEWHERE ELSE. AND IT JUST SEEMS LIKE WE'RE WE'RE TAKING THE EXISTING PEOPLE AND NOT LOOKING AFTER THEM SO THAT WE CAN DO SOMETHING MAYBE IN THE FUTURE FOR SOMEBODY ELSE. THAT JUST DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT TO ME. SO I'M JUST I'M JUST CURIOUS AS TO WHAT'S GOING ON, WHY YOU'RE DISADVANTAGING ONE GROUP FOR ANOTHER GROUP. GOTCHA. YEAH. I DON'T THINK THE GOAL WAS TO DISADVANTAGE ANYONE. I THINK IT WAS THE LAYOUT OF THE SITE WAS CREATING A CONDITION WHERE THERE WAS GOING TO BE A CHANGE THAT CREATED. YEAH, THAT CREATED SOME SORT OF SEPARATION. OKAY. OTHER QUESTIONS. COMMENTS.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. MOVE. APPROVAL OF THE ORDINANCE IS READ SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION NEEDED? ALL IN FAVOR. ALL OPPOSED. AND BEN BUTLER'S OPPOSED. THANK YOU SIR.

Reagan Jr. Blvd. and Rattlesnake Road and north of Sun City -- Nick Woolery, Assistant City Manager]

ALL RIGHT. THAT BRINGS US TO ITEM SIX. H AND NICK, ARE YOU. STAND UP. YES, SIR. THANK YOU SIR. OKAY. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. NICK WOOLERY, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER. THIS IS THE CONSENT TO CREATION AND THE CONSENT AGREEMENT FOR THE YEARWOOD IN CITY MUD. AS I COVER THE THE PROJECT TIMELINE HERE. I DO WANT TO START WITH JUST SOME THANKS TO NOT ONLY TO OUR TEAM. THE DEVELOPERS TEAM IS OUT OUT HERE IN THE AUDIENCE AS WELL. BUT THIS WAS YOU CAN LOOK AT THIS TIMELINE IN A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT WAYS. THIS WAS SUBMITTED IN NOVEMBER OF 2025, AND WE'RE HERE IN SEPTEMBER APPROVING, YOU KNOW, NOT ONLY A CONSENT AGREEMENT, BUT REALLY THE CONDITIONS FOR EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR A DEVELOPMENT OF AN EXISTING ROCK QUARRY. SO, YOU KNOW, TO ME, TEN MONTHS AND THE LEVEL OF DETAIL IN THIS AGREEMENT IS REALLY IMPRESSIVE. IT'S IT'S TAKEN A LOT OF HARD WORK BY ALL, ALL SIDES, BUT ESPECIALLY WANT TO GIVE GIVE SOME HUGE KUDOS TO CRYSTAL LYONS AND ANGELA MCBRIDE, WHO ARE OUR SPECIAL

[00:50:03]

DISTRICTS TEAM. THEY'VE PUT IN INCREDIBLE TIME, HAVE BALANCED A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT GO INTO THESE THESE TYPES OF AGREEMENTS. KELLY TREATS OUR CHIEF DEVELOPMENT OFFICER, EDGAR GARCIA. WESLEY, RIGHT. CALEB FUHRER ON THE ENGINEERING SIDE. KIMBERLY GARRETT STARTED IT OFF ON THE PARKS AND REC SIDE. AND ERIC NEUNER FINISHED IT OFF. AND THEN SKY MASON AND TRISH CARLS FROM OUR LEGAL TEAM. IT TRULY TOOK EVERY ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WORKING TOGETHER, PUTTING IN A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT TO REALLY THINK CREATIVELY, CREATE CREATIVELY ON HOW TO MAKE A PROJECT LIKE THIS SUCCESSFUL. AND I KNOW EVERYONE ON OUR TEAM WAS WAS COMMITTED TO DOING THAT FROM, FROM THE BEGINNING. SO EXCITED TO BE HERE FOR SURE. AND SO GOING OVER THE TIMELINE, THIS WAS SUBMITTED IN NOVEMBER. WE HAD THE FIRST COUNCIL WORKSHOP BACK IN FEBRUARY OF 2026. WE GOT THAT INITIAL FEEDBACK FROM COUNCIL. Y'ALL WERE WERE SUPPORTIVE BUT HAD A FEW REQUESTS TO COME BACK ON. WE CAME BACK IN MARCH AND THE DEVELOPER MADE THE CHANGES THAT WERE REQUESTED, AND WE GOT COUNCIL SUPPORT TO, TO PROCEED WITH, WITH WORKING ON THIS MUD CONSENT AGREEMENT. YOU'LL SEE IN A MINUTE THE COMPONENTS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND CAN KIND OF UNDERSTAND WHY IT, WHY IT TOOK SIX MONTHS FROM THAT TIME, OR REALLY FIVE AND A HALF MONTHS FROM THAT TIME TO GET HERE TODAY. BUT YOU'LL SEE ON THE SCREEN, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE CONDITIONS THAT MAKE THIS SITE UNIQUE. ONE, IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE ETJ. AND SO YOU KNOW THAT THAT CREATES SOME SOME DIFFERENT CHALLENGES FOR CITIES.

THIS IS AN ACTIVE ROCK QUARRY. AND THIS WAS ALSO A PROJECT THAT CAME IN RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR UDC UPDATE PROCESS, WHICH DOES ADD SOME, SOME COMPLEXITY TO FIGURE OUT WHICH CODE ARE WE APPLYING TO WHEN VARIANCES ARE NEEDED. HOW DOES THAT WORK? SO THERE WAS AGAIN, A LOT OF DETAIL THAT WENT INTO INTO THIS AGREEMENT. SO THE MAJOR COMPONENTS OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND I'M GOING TO COVER EACH OF THESE ON SOME FUTURE SLIDES. THE EFFECTIVE DATES IN THE DISTRICT CREATION. I WOULDN'T NORMALLY COVER THAT. BUT BASED ON JUST THE STRUCTURE OF THIS THIS AGREEMENT, I WANT TO MAKE SURE COUNCIL UNDERSTANDS THAT THE MUD BOND AND TAX RATE REQUIREMENTS, THE HOW LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT IS HANDLED. AGAIN, THIS IS CURRENTLY IN THE ETJ. AND SO, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE PROVIDE CLARITY ON BEFORE ANNEXATION ACTUALLY HAPPENS. THE PARKLAND AND AMENITY CENTER REQUIREMENTS, TRANSPORTATION AND THEN WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICE. SO JUST FOR CLARITY, BECAUSE THIS IS A FAIRLY UNIQUE DEAL FOR US. SO WHEN YOU SEE IN THE AGREEMENT, A VARIETY OF PARTIES JUST WANT TO HELP, HELP COUNCIL UNDERSTAND WHO THOSE PARTIES ARE. SO YOU'RE WHAT IS THE CURRENT LANDOWNER? PEREGRINE IS THE ANTICIPATED PURCHASER OF THE LAND. YOU'LL SEE FCL, WHICH IS ALSO FREEHOLD THERE, THE ANTICIPATED DEVELOPER OF THE LAND. AND THEN WHEN YOU SEE DISTRICT. THAT'S THE FUTURE MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT THAT CAN'T BE CREATED UNTIL COUNCIL DOES THIS. DOES THIS CONSENT TO CREATE THE DISTRICT? A COUPLE NOTES. SO THERE ARE SOME LANGUAGE TIED TO ASSIGNMENTS IN THE AGREEMENT. SO YEARWOOD MAY ONLY ASSIGN THIS AGREEMENT TO THOSE TWO PARTIES, PEREGRINE AND FCL. AND THEN PEREGRINE AND FCL MAY ONLY ASSIGN THE AGREEMENT IF THE EIGHT CONDITIONS THAT WE HAVE LISTED IN THE AGREEMENT ARE SATISFIED. AND BASICALLY, THAT GIVES THE CITY THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SURE THAT WHOEVER ANOTHER DEVELOPER IS GOING TO BE IS GOING TO FIT THE QUALITY THAT THAT WE EXPECT FROM THIS AGREEMENT. AND IT ALSO REQUIRES CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL. SO IN TERMS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATES AND THE DISTRICT CREATION, SO THIS IS A LITTLE BIT UNIQUE FROM OTHER AGREEMENTS THAT WE'VE DONE WHERE A PROJECT WENT FROM THE ETJ INTO CITY LIMITS. SO TYPICALLY IF I WAS STANDING HERE TODAY, WE WOULD ALSO HAVE THE ANNEXATION AND THE ZONING TO GO ALONG WITH THIS APPROVAL BASED ON THE CONDITIONS OF THE SITE AND THE THE OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE AND HOW THAT'S MOVING FORWARD. WE'VE GOT A A BIT OF A CREATIVE WAY TO HANDLE ALL THAT. AND SO THIS AGREEMENT WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE IF THE FOLLOWING HAPPENS WITHIN 60 DAYS FROM COUNCIL APPROVAL. ONE, THE AGREEMENTS EXECUTED BY ALL PARTIES. AND THEN TWO PEREGRINE HAS ACQUIRED FEE SIMPLE TITLE TO THE LAND FROM YEARWOOD. WE DO EXPECT THAT TO HAPPEN WITHIN A COUPLE DAYS FROM COUNCIL'S SECOND READING, BUT THAT IS AN IMPORTANT CONDITION ON THIS IN TERMS OF VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION.

[00:55:05]

SO PEREGRINE PEREGRINE'S REQUEST FOR VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION WILL BE DEEMED SUBMITTED ON THEIR CLOSING DATE. AND SO THAT'S JUST AN IMPORTANT KIND OF LEGAL THING IN TERMS OF THE TIMING. WE'RE BASICALLY HOLDING THEIR REQUEST FOR VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION, AND WE WILL DEEM IT SUBMITTED ONCE THEY'VE CLOSED ON THE LAND. IN TERMS OF PEREGRINE TERMINATION.

SO THEY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE IF THE CITY HAS NOT COMPLETED THE ANNEXATION PROCEEDINGS AND PUD ZONING WITHIN 120 DAYS, THAT'S ALL BEEN SUBMITTED. IT'S GONE THROUGH REVIEWS FROM OUR TEAM, SO WE DON'T ANTICIPATE ANY ISSUES WITH FULFILLING THAT REQUIREMENT. AND THEN THE IN CITY MUD DISTRICT. SO PEREGRINE AND FCL BOTH STIPULATE THAT THIS REQUEST IS FOR AN. IN CITY MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT CONSENT AND CITY COUNCIL AGREES TO CONSENT TO SAID DISTRICT CREATION. SO IT'S KIND OF BOTH BOTH SIDES OF THE DEAL. IF COUNCIL APPROVES THIS, YOU'RE CREATING YOU'RE AGREEING TO CONSENT TO THE MUD CREATION. ON THE FLIP SIDE, THE DEVELOPERS AGREEING THAT THIS WILL BE AN IN CITY MUD. IN TERMS OF THE MUD BOND AND TAX RATE REQUIREMENTS. ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN, YOU'LL SEE THE AUTHORIZED PURPOSES IN WHICH MUD BONDS MAY BE ISSUED FOR IN TERMS OF THE BOND RESTRICTIONS.

SO THE MAXIMUM MUD BOND MATURITY SHALL BE NO GREATER THAN 25 YEARS FROM EACH BOND ISSUANCE. AND THEN THE MUD SHALL HAVE TEN YEARS FROM THE FIRST ISSUANCE TO ISSUE ALL BONDS. BOTH OF THOSE ARE WITHIN COUNCIL'S MUD POLICY, THE MUD MAXIMUM TAX RATE. SO THE DISTRICT SHALL BE REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN A COMBINED DEBT SERVICE AND TAX RATE AT NO MORE THAN $0.65 PER $100 IN ASSESSED VALUATION. THIS IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN COUNCIL'S MUD POLICY. WE TALKED THROUGH THIS IN QUITE A BIT OF DETAIL DURING THE DURING THE TWO WORKSHOPS PREVIOUSLY AND KIND OF WENT THROUGH, YOU KNOW, WHY, WHY IT MADE SENSE TO LAND AT THAT AT THAT 65 CENT TAX RATE. IN TERMS OF LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT, THERE IS A LOT IN THIS AGREEMENT THAT'S THAT COVERS LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT. AND AGAIN, THAT'S PRIMARILY BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THAT ANNEXATION AND ZONING THAT'S COMING IN AT THE AT THE SAME TIME. AND SO THERE IS A CONCEPTUAL LAND USE PLAN. AND BECAUSE ANNEXATION AND ZONING HAVE NOT OCCURRED, THIS CONCEPTUAL LAND USE PLAN WILL SERVE AS THE THE BASIS FOR THE IMPENDING PUD ZONING, UDC COMPLIANCE. SO THE DEVELOPMENT SHALL COMPLY WITH THE NEW ADOPTED UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE, EXCEPT IN THE INSTANCES SPECIFICALLY CALLED OUT WITHIN THE AGREEMENT, AND I'M GOING TO HIT OVER THE NEXT FEW SLIDES WHAT THOSE INSTANCES ARE AND WHY IT MAKES SENSE IN THIS CASE, THE PHASING PLAN. SO THERE IS THE AGREEMENT DOES INCLUDE A PHASING PLAN, WHICH IS GENERALLY CONCEPTUAL IN NATURE, EXCEPT WHEN CALLED OUT IN THE AGREEMENT. THE TWO MAJOR AREAS WHERE IT'S CALLED OUT ARE THE TIMING OF THE MAJOR ARTERIAL ROADWAY AND THE TIMING OF THE REGIONAL TRAIL. AND THEN THERE'S A PUBLIC SAFETY SITE. SO THE DEVELOPER IS REQUIRED TO DEDICATE A SEVEN ACRE PUBLIC SAFETY SITE TO THE CITY VIA DEED, WITH FRONTAGE ALONG THE MAJOR ARTERIAL ROADWAY. AND JUST SO, JUST SO COUNCIL CAN KIND OF SEE, THIS IS THE CONCEPTUAL LAND USE PLAN, NOT A NOT A TON HERE OTHER THAN YOU SEE THE BASICALLY THE BREAKOUT OF USES FROM RESIDENTIAL TO COMMERCIAL COMMERCIALS IN THE RED HERE ON THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE SITE, THE ORANGE IS THE SEVEN ACRE PUBLIC SAFETY SITE. EVERYTHING IN GREEN IS PARKLAND, AND THEN IN PURPLE ARE THE AMENITIES. AND THEN YOU'LL SEE THE THE FUTURE RIGHT OF WAY AND ROADWAYS ARE NOTED THERE IN WHITE. AND THEN THE BLUE ARE THE EXISTING. EXISTING PONDS THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED BEFORE. AND THEN THIS IS THE CONCEPTUAL PHASING PLAN. AGAIN, GENERALLY SHOWING HOW THE PROJECT WILL WILL WORK. AND YOU'VE GOT KIND OF TWO SIDES OF THIS. SO BERRY CREEK IS KIND OF RUNS IN BETWEEN PHASE ONE AND AND PHASE SIX THERE. SO IN TERMS OF THE HOUSING TYPES AND THE LOT MIX. SO YOU'LL SEE THE THERE ARE REQUIRED PERCENTAGES IN THE AGREEMENT ON DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOUSING. AND THEN THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM PERCENTAGES FOR DIFFERENT LOT WIDTHS. AND THIS IS ALL IN LINE WITH WITH WHAT'S BEEN DISCUSSED WITH COUNCIL PREVIOUSLY. SO HOA REQUIREMENT THIS IS IN IN ALL OF OUR MUD AGREEMENTS. SO JUST WANT TO NOTE THAT PRIOR TO THE FIRST SALE OF A LOT, THE DEVELOPER IS REQUIRED TO RECORD A MASTER COVENANT, WHICH SETS FORTH THE CREATION AND PERPETUAL EXISTENCE OF AN HOA AND

[01:00:05]

REQUIREMENT FOR PERPETUAL MAINTENANCE OF ALL IMPROVEMENTS REQUIRED TO BE MAINTAINED PER THIS AGREEMENT THAT ARE NOT MAINTAINED BY THE DISTRICT. DRAINAGE FACILITIES WILL BE OWNED AND MAINTAINED BY THE DISTRICT OR HOA. SHARED DRIVEWAYS. I'LL SHOW THIS ON ON THE NEXT SLIDE. BUT ALONG THE NEIGHBORHOOD COLLECTOR ROADWAY, SHARED DRIVEWAYS WILL BE ALLOWED BUT SHALL BE PRIVATELY OWNED AND MAINTAINED. SO THIS WAS IMPORTANT. THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THIS IN GEORGETOWN RIGHT NOW IS IF YOU GO INTO THE THE NORTH SIDE OF THE WOLF RANCH DEVELOPMENT, THE HILLTOP PORTION THAT COLLECTOR ROAD HAS HAS HOMES ON IT, AND THERE ARE SHARED DRIVEWAYS THAT ALLOW ACCESS TO THAT ROADWAY, BUT THERE AREN'T ACTUAL DRIVEWAYS TO INDIVIDUAL HOMES. SO THAT SAME CONCEPT WILL BE ALLOWED ALONG THE NEIGHBORHOOD COLLECTOR HERE, UNDERGROUND ELECTRIC. SO AND I'LL SHOW THIS ON THE NEXT SLIDE AS WELL. SO TEMPORARY OVERHEAD ELECTRIC LINES WILL BE ALLOWED. CONNECTING TO THE ROCK BLUFF RANCH SITE, BUT ONLY UNTIL THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MINOR ARTERIAL ROADWAY, WHICH WILL REQUIRE ELECTRIC UNDERGROUNDING AT THAT TIME. SO YOU'LL SEE THE ARTERIAL ROADWAYS HERE IN PURPLE. SO IF THE IF THE DEVELOPER STARTED THE PROJECT HERE IN PHASE ONE, AND THEN IF THEY HAPPEN TO ACQUIRE AND DEVELOP ROCK BLUFF RANCH AND NEED TO GET THOSE ELECTRIC LINES UP TO THAT SITE, THIS WILL BASICALLY ALLOW THEM TO GO ABOVE GROUND THROUGH THE YEARWOOD SITE UNTIL THIS ROAD IS BUILT. SO THE DAY THAT THEY EXPAND IT FURTHER, THOSE LINES HAVE TO BE BURIED AT THAT AT THAT POINT IN TIME. AND THEN THIS BLUE STREET THAT YOU SEE THAT CONNECTS UP TO THE TO THE AMENITY CENTER, THAT IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD COLLECTOR ROADWAY THAT WILL, WILL, WE WOULD ALLOW SHARED DRIVEWAYS ON. IN TERMS OF ARCHITECTURAL AND MASONRY REQUIREMENTS, NONRESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS WILL BE REQUIRED TO HAVE 100% MASONRY, RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES. THE FRONT. THE FIRST FLOOR OF SIDES AND BACK AND ALL SIDES FACING THE STREET OR PARKLAND WILL BE REQUIRED TO HAVE 85% MASONRY. AND THEN THE AGREEMENT LAYS OUT SOME ENHANCED FRONT ELEVATION ARTICULATION REQUIREMENTS AS WELL. WALLS AND FENCING REQUIREMENTS SHOW THIS ON THE NEXT SLIDE, BUT MASONRY WALLS ARE REQUIRED ALONG THE MINOR ARTERIAL ROADWAY. AND THEN THERE'S VARIOUS VARIOUS FENCING TYPES REQUIRED ALONG THE PERIMETER OF THE SITE. AND THEN THE CONCRETE BATCH PLANT BUFFER. THIS WAS DISCUSSED WITH COUNCIL AT THE SECOND WORKSHOP. SO LOTS THAT BORDER THE CONCRETE BATCH PLANT WILL BE REQUIRED TO HAVE A MINIMUM BACKYARD DEPTH OF 80FT, AND ANY EXISTING TREES THAT PROVIDE BUFFER TO THE PLANT SHALL REMAIN. SO YOU CAN SEE THERE'S BASICALLY DIFFERENT COLORS OF OF THE DIFFERENT FENCING THAT'S REQUIRED THROUGHOUT THE SITE. AND THEN THIS IS THE EXISTING CONCRETE BATCH PLANT. AND SO ANY LOTS THAT THAT ARE ADJACENT TO THAT WILL BE REQUIRED TO HAVE BASICALLY AN EXTRA DISTANCE OF, OF BACKYARD DEPTH ON THOSE LOTS. IN TERMS OF PARKS, TRAILS AND AMENITIES, THE PARKLAND REQUIREMENTS, THERE'S 140 ACRE PRIMARY PARK THAT WILL BE CONVEYED TO A COMBINATION OF THE CITY AND THE WILLIAMSON COUNTY CONSERVATION FOUNDATION.

PRIOR TO PHASE ONE, THERE'S 11.4 ACRES OF COMMUNITY PARKS. THERE IS A REGIONAL TRAIL ALONG BERRY CREEK THAT WILL BE REQUIRED TO BE COMPLETED PART OF PHASE TWO. AND THEN THERE ARE CONNECTING TRAILS IN PRIVATE PARKS REQUIRED THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT. IN TERMS OF AMENITY CENTERS, THERE ARE TWO AMENITY CENTERS REQUIRED. ONE ON THE WEST SIDE IS REQUIRED PRIOR TO THE 200TH BUILDING PERMIT, WITHIN PHASES ONE THROUGH FIVE. THAT IS THE AMENITY CENTER THAT'S LOCATED ADJACENT TO ONE OF THE SPRING FED PONDS, AND THEN THE AMENITY CENTER ALSO REQUIRED PRIOR TO THE 200 BUILDING PERMIT WITHIN PHASE SIX. AND THEN BOTH AMENITY CENTERS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE ACCESS TO A COLLECTOR LEVEL ROADWAY. AND YOU CAN SEE, AGAIN, THE SITES OF THE AMENITY CENTERS ARE IN PURPLE. AND THEN THE PARKLAND IS IN GREEN, AND YOU'LL SEE IN TAN THERE THE THE LOCATION OF THE REGIONAL TRAIL. AND THEN THEY'LL HAVE CONNECTING TRAILS THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT THAT GET RESIDENTS TO THAT REGIONAL TRAIL. SO THE ARTERIAL ROADWAY, THE DEVELOPER WILL DEDICATE THE FULL WIDTH OF THE RIGHT OF WAY FOR THE MINOR ARTERIAL, WHICH IS 110FT. THE FULL CROSS SECTION WILL BE BUILT AND PHASED ALONG WITH THE PHASES OF THE DEVELOPMENT, BUT THE FIRST PHASE OF THE ROAD WILL BE REQUIRED TO EXTEND TO AT LEAST THE LIMITS OF THE CITY'S NORTHLANDS WASTEWATER TREATMENT

[01:05:01]

PLANT. IN TERMS OF TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEES. ONCE THIS IS ANNEXED, THE LAND WILL BE ADDED TO A TIFF SERVICE AREA AND THAT ARTERIAL ROAD WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR IMPACT FEE CREDITS. WE'VE DISCUSSED THIS BEFORE. THE COUNTY IS WORKING ON IMPROVEMENTS TO RONALD REAGAN BOULEVARD. SO FOR EFFICIENCY, THE COUNTY IS GOING TO INCLUDE THE RIGHT TURN LANE.

THAT'S BASICALLY WILL BE LOCATED ON THE BRIDGE OVER BERRY CREEK. THEY'RE GOING TO INCLUDE THAT IN THEIR PROJECT. THE CITY WILL HAVE AN ILA WITH THE COUNTY TO PAY FOR THAT RIGHT TURN LANE. THE DEVELOPER WILL THEN FULLY REIMBURSE THE CITY FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THAT RIGHT TURN LANE ONTO THE ARTERIAL ROADWAY PRIOR TO, OR AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST MUD BOND ISSUANCE. SO THE CITY WILL GET PAID BEFORE BASICALLY BEFORE ANYONE ELSE GETS GETS PAID. SO THIS IS WHERE THE THE MAJORITY OF THE VARIANCES TO THE CODE COME IN.

THIS FIRST ONE IS, IS, IS THE BIGGEST VARIANCE TO THE NEW CODE THAT WAS JUST ADOPTED HASN'T EVEN BEEN IMPLEMENTED YET. SO LOCAL STREETS IN THE NEW CODE ARE REQUIRED TO BE 36FT WIDE. BACK OCCURRED BACK A CURB. AND THEN SIDEWALKS ARE RIGHT ALONG RIGHT NEXT TO THE CURB. SO AS WE'VE AS STAFF HAS LOOKED AT THIS AND HAS STARTED LOOKING AT DEVELOPMENTS COMING IN, IT'S A PIECE OF THE NEW UDC THAT WE'D LIKE TO BRING BACK TO COUNCIL IN THE FUTURE. WE DID NOT WANT TO SLOW DOWN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE OF THE NEW UDC, SO WE DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE ANY CHANGES CURRENTLY. BUT WITH THIS BEING THE FIRST MAJOR DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING TO COME IN UNDER THE CODE, WE THINK IT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO GO BACK TO A 32 FOOT STREET WIDTH AND THEN MOVE THE SIDEWALKS OFF OF THE BACK OF THE CURB. JUST JUST FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT.

ALONG WITH THAT IN THE NEW CODE, BECAUSE THOSE ROADS WERE WIDER, WE FORCED IN TRAFFIC CALMING TO KIND OF OVERCOME THAT, THAT ROAD WIDTH. IN THIS CASE, WE'VE HAD OUR STAFF GO IN AND WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER'S TEAM TO JUST IDENTIFY SOME KEY AREAS WHERE WE THINK TRAFFIC CALMING WILL MAKE SENSE IN THE FUTURE. AND SO WE'VE NOTED THAT ON THE EXHIBIT THAT I'LL SHOW YOU ON THE NEXT SLIDE. LET ME JUST SHOW YOU THAT REAL QUICK. SO THIS IS THE THIS WOULD BE THE PROPOSED LOCAL STREET CROSS SECTION. AGAIN, YOU'LL SEE THE 32FT AND THEN THE SIDEWALK OFF THE BACK OF CURB. AND THEN YOU'LL SEE THE AREAS THAT HAVE THE BLUE CIRCLES. SO AS THE DEVELOPER DEVELOPS THESE SITES, ONCE THEY GET TO THOSE AREAS, THEY'LL HAVE BASICALLY A MENU OF SOME TRAFFIC CALMING TECHNIQUES THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED JUST AT THOSE LOCATIONS. THE COLLECTOR ROAD REQUIREMENTS. SO RESIDENTIAL AND NEIGHBORHOOD COLLECTOR ROADS WOULD BE REQUIRED AT ALL THE LOCATIONS IN THE EXHIBIT. SO BASICALLY ANY AREA WHERE YOU SEE RED OR BLUE WOULD BE EITHER NEIGHBORHOOD OR RESIDENTIAL COLLECTOR ROADWAYS. AND THEN STREET SPACING AND CONNECTIVITY. SO DUE TO DUE TO THE NATIONAL NATURAL TOPOGRAPHY AND PLANNING CONSTRAINTS, THE UDC REQUIREMENTS REGARDING STREET SPACING, BLOCK LENGTHS, CUL DE SACS, AND CONNECTIVITY RATIOS WOULD NOT BE APPLICABLE IF THE DEVELOPMENT IS MATERIAL MATERIALLY CONSISTENT WITH THE EXHIBITS. SO OUR STAFF HAS GONE IN AND THESE BASICALLY THESE LAST TWO SLIDES ARE WHERE WHERE IT'S REALLY KEY. YOU KNOW, WE'VE LOOKED AT WHAT THE CONSTRAINTS ARE WITH THE SITE. WE'VE HAD OUR OUR ENGINEERS AND PLANNERS LOOK AT THIS AND SEE WHERE IT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO HAVE SOME VARIANCES FROM THE CODE. AND BECAUSE THE SITE IS SO BIG, YOU'VE GOT A QUARRY, YOU'VE GOT A CREEK, YOU'VE GOT AN EXISTING DEVELOPMENT THAT DID NOT HAVE ANY CONNECTIONS INTO THE SITE. WE REALLY LOOKED AT, YOU KNOW, WHERE WOULD IT MAKE SENSE? AND SO THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT WAS TO KIND OF VISUALLY DESCRIBE, YOU KNOW, WHERE, WHERE VARIANCES WOULD BE JUST SO IT'S CLEAR, YOU KNOW, AS THEY COME IN AND DEVELOP, IF IT'S FIVE, TEN YEARS FROM NOW, YOU KNOW, OUR STAFF AT THE TIME KIND OF UNDERSTANDS WHY, WHY DECISIONS WERE MADE ON, ON CERTAIN VARIANCES. NICK THAT MID MID-BLOCK PEDESTRIAN CROSSING. I DON'T THINK I'VE SEEN THAT BEFORE. THERE'S ONLY ONE OF THEM. IT'S GOING TO THAT ONE CUL DE SAC. THEY'RE KIND OF IT'S KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE. YEAH. SO IF IF A IF A BASICALLY IF A STREET LENGTH IS LONG ENOUGH, THERE HAS TO BE A CROSSING FOR, FOR PEDESTRIANS.

SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY AROUND. OKAY. YEAH. SO, AND SO THAT'S THE ONE LOCATION

[01:10:02]

WHERE THEY, THEY WOULD HAVE A VARIANCE AND IT WOULD NOT BE REQUIRED IN THAT LOCATION. OKAY.

IN TERMS OF WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICE. SO WATER SERVICE IS DESIGNED TO BE SERVED BY TWO, TWO DIFFERENT PRESSURE PLANES. WATER CONSERVATION MEASURES WILL BE INCORPORATED INTO THE DESIGN OF OF NEIGHBORHOOD LANDSCAPING AND AMENITIES. THE DEVELOPER SHALL GRANT AND CONVEY A WATER A RONALD REAGAN BOULEVARD WATER LINE EASEMENT AT NO COST TO THE CITY, AND THEN IMPACT FEES WILL BE ASSESSED AT FINAL PLAT. IN TERMS OF WASTEWATER, THE WASTEWATER SYSTEM WAS SIZED OR IS SIZED TO SERVE BOTH YEARWOOD AND ROCK BLUFF. THIS AGREEMENT REALLY IS ONLY TALKING ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF YEARWOOD, BUT WE MADE SURE IT WAS SIZED TO SERVE THAT EVENTUAL ROCK BLUFF AREA AND WOULD TIE INTO THE NORTHLANDS WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT INTERIM CAPACITY THROUGH THE EXISTING WASTEWATER SYSTEM WOULD BE CAPPED AT 300 UNITS UNTIL THE NORTHLANDS PLANT IS COMPLETED AND ONLINE, AND THEN THE DEVELOPER SHALL GRANT AND CONVEY NORTHLANDS WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT FORCEMAIN EASEMENT AT NO COST TO THE CITY, WHICH IS A BIG. THAT FORCEMAIN IS A BIG COMPONENT OF THE. THE NORTHLANDS PLANT, SO GETTING THAT LOCKED IN IS A IS A REALLY BIG DEAL, NOT JUST FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT, BUT FOR JUST THAT PLANT PROJECT IN GENERAL. AND THESE ARE JUST THE KIND OF THE CONCEPTUAL WATER PLANS AND THEN WASTEWATER PLANS. AND WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO READ THE CAPTION AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS COUNCIL MAY HAVE, ACCORDING TO THE RECAP. SO DON'T FORGET THIS IS AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GEORGETOWN, TEXAS, APPROVING A CONSENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY PIA CAPITAL LLC. SERIES 1PIA CAPITAL LLC. SERIES TWO JOHN EDWARD BOYCE YEARWOOD PLI I'D LP AND GEORGETOWN FC. L OWNER LLC. CONSENTING TO THE CREATION OF AN IN CITY MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT OVER APPROXIMATELY 728.38 ACRES OF LAND GENERALLY SITUATED WEST OF THE INTERSECTION OF RONALD REAGAN BOULEVARD AND RATTLESNAKE ROAD AND NORTH OF SUN CITY. REPEALING CONFLICTING ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. THANK YOU NICK. QUESTIONS FOR NICK. BEN. SO I APPRECIATE THE THE EFFORT TO GET THIS ALL PULLED TOGETHER. I THINK YOU'VE DONE A GREAT JOB, ANSWERED LOTS OF QUESTIONS. I'M STILL CONCERNED ABOUT THE TAX RATE. I'M DISAPPOINTED THAT THEY COULDN'T GET DOWN TO OUR 55 CENT MAXIMUM THAT THAT WHEN YOU ADD $0.65 TO OUR TAX RATE, THAT MEANS THEY PAY ALMOST DOUBLE WHAT THEY PAY FOR CITY TAXES. AND I JUST THINK THAT'S NOT NOT GOOD. I'VE LOOKED AT A ANOTHER MUD THAT'S JUST KIND OF ACROSS THE STREET FROM THEM. AND 82% OF THEIR BUDGET FOR THIS COMING YEAR IS FOR PROFESSIONAL FEES. THAT SEEMS EXCESSIVE TO ME. I'M, I'M CONCERNED THAT MUDS ARE BEING USED AS PIGGY BANKS FOR PROFESSIONALS AND OTHER PEOPLE THAT WE REALLY HAVEN'T DONE OUR DUE DILIGENCE TO GET THE TAX, THESE TAX RATES DOWN TO SOMETHING MORE REASONABLE, THAT $0.55 SHOULD BE THE MAX. AND ACTUALLY THEY SHOULD START AT ABOUT ONE THIRD OF THE CITY'S RATE IN BRINGING IT UP IN IN 87 IN SUN CITY, WHICH HAS BEEN RECENTLY DEVELOPED IN THE LAST 3 OR 4 YEARS, DIDN'T HAVE A MUD AT ALL. SO I'VE HEARD THAT, WELL, YOU CAN'T DO THESE THINGS WITHOUT MUCH THESE DAYS. SUN CITY DID IT, AND I REALIZE THAT'S A TOTALLY DIFFERENT ENTITY, BUT THEY HAVEN'T DIDN'T HAVE TO DO IT FOR THAT. I KNOW THEY'RE NOW TRYING TO DO IT FOR ANOTHER ONE. SO MY QUESTION IS, I KNOW THAT'S BEEN DISCUSSED BEFORE. I JUST WANT TO BRING IT UP AGAIN. DO YOU FEEL THAT THEY HAVE FULLY JUSTIFIED THE 65 CENT TAX RATE, YOUR OWN PERSONAL OPINION? DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT'S BEEN SAID UP HERE.

AND YOU CAN TELL ME YOU REALLY DON'T WANT TO ANSWER. AND I'LL TAKE THAT AS A AS AN ANSWER.

BUT I JUST IT IT PAINS ME WHENEVER I TALK TO PEOPLE THAT HAVE BOUGHT INTO THESE THINGS AND THEY SAID, YEAH, I WAS TOLD IT WAS A MUD, BUT THEY NEVER REALLY EXPLAINED TO ME WHAT THAT MEANT. AND I GUESS I JUST DIDN'T ASK ENOUGH QUESTIONS UNTIL I GOT THIS $3,000 TAX BILL IN ADDITION TO WHAT I THOUGHT. AND OH, BY THE WAY, I THOUGHT I WAS A DISABLED VET AND I DIDN'T GET ANY EXEMPTIONS BECAUSE OF THAT. AND I WAS A SENIOR AND I DIDN'T GET ANY EXEMPTIONS BECAUSE OF THAT. AND PEOPLE ARE HAVING A PROBLEM AND BUYER BEWARE. I AGREE. BUT IT'S IT JUST IT PAINS ME WHEN I TALK TO THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE OVER THERE THAT ARE IN, IN ANOTHER MUD. AND SO IF YOU TELL ME YOU PREFER NOT TO ANSWER THE QUESTION, I'LL ACCEPT THAT.

[01:15:07]

WELL, I WOULD JUST SAY, WELL, WHEN YOU'RE TALKING TO SOMEONE WHO LIVES IN A MUD WITH A 65 CENT TAX RATE. SO IN CITY, IN CITY, NO, WHAT I WOULD TELL YOU IS, YEAH, I THINK THE QUESTION OF THE TAX RATE IS A GOOD ONE THAT THERE IS A I DO NOT THINK THE CITY GETS THE FULL PICTURE OF THE FINANCIAL PIECE FROM THE DEVELOPER SIDE. I DO AGREE WITH YOU THERE. ■WHAT I WOULD SAY IS I THINK WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING WE CAN AS A CITY THAT'S IN OUR CONTROL TO MAKE SURE THIS IS A HIGH QUALITY DEVELOPMENT FOR THE COMMUNITY, I DO THINK I DO THINK WE'VE DONE THAT. SO THAT'S THE ONE THING I CAN I CAN ANSWER. I DO AGREE IT'S A HIGH QUALITY DEVELOPMENT. I JUST THINK IT'S EXCESSIVE. SO THE NEXT QUESTION IS I FOUND OUT THAT OTHER DEVELOPERS IN THE AREA HAVE A MONTHLY COST CALCULATOR. SO PEOPLE CAN FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH THEY CAN AFFORD AND THEY DON'T IN CURRENTLY DON'T INCLUDE THE COST OF THE THE MUD IN THEIR CALCULATOR. IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN GET, AS PART OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT IF THESE DEVELOPERS DO HAVE THEIR OWN CALCULATOR OR CAN CONTROL ANYBODY ELSE'S CALCULATOR TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT TAX RATE IS INCLUDED IN CALCULATIONS FOR THE MONTHLY RATES FOR THESE PEOPLE, SO THAT WHEN THEY GO THERE AND HIT THE LITTLE BUTTON AND SAYS, I WONDER HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO COST ME PER MONTH. THEY DON'T LEAVE OUT THIS 300 AND SOMETHING DOLLAR ADDITIONAL BILL OR $400 A MONTH BILL, 3 OR $4000 A YEAR BILL THAT THE CALCULATORS AREN'T PICKING UP BECAUSE IT'S A MUD. IT'S NOT THE CITY, COUNTY, SCHOOL DISTRICT OR ANYTHING ELSE. AND THESE PEOPLE ARE DUMBFOUNDED WHENEVER THEY SAY, WELL, I DID. THE CALCULATOR SAYS, WELL, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS JUST AN ESTIMATE. AND IT DIDN'T IT DIDN'T PICK UP EVERYTHING. IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN PUT INTO THIS AGREEMENT TO AT LEAST WHATEVER THEY CAN CONTROL INCLUDES THE COST OF THE THE MUD IN THEIR CALCULATOR. WE CAN HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH THEM. I DON'T KNOW THE LOGISTICS. AND JUST TO BE TOTALLY HONEST WITH YOU, THIS IS THIS IS A. IT'S TAKEN A LOT TO GET TO TODAY. AND SO THE ONLY THING I JUST DON'T WANT TO, YOU KNOW, I WOULDN'T WANT TO MESS ANYTHING UP AT THIS POINT WITH, WITH THE AGREEMENT, BUT I MEAN, I THINK THEY'D BE OPEN TO THE CONVERSATION OF WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE. I DON'T THINK THEY'D BE OPPOSED TO IT, JUST WHETHER IT GETS INTO THE AGREEMENT AND HOW THAT HOW THAT LOOKS, WE CAN HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH THEM. OKAY. THANK YOU. THAT'S OKAY. THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS.

HEY, NICK, THE ROCK BLUFF ADJACENT TO THIS PROPERTY OR JOINING THIS PROPERTY ALREADY HAS A MUD, CORRECT. A PORTION OF THE LAND HAS HAS A PORTION OF THAT LAND. OKAY. YEAH. AND IT'S REFERENCED IN THE DOCUMENT IN THE AGREEMENT HERE. THE ROCK BLUFF IS THAT THEY'RE INTENDING TO DEVELOP THAT. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT I KNOW WE'VE LOOKED AT AND TALKED ABOUT IT SOME? IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WILL BE COMING BACK TO US, THAT WILL BE INCORPORATED INTO THIS MUD, THAT WILL BE ITS OWN SEPARATE MUD? DO WE KNOW IT WOULD BE ITS OWN SEPARATE MUD? WE DO HAVE AN APPLICATION, AND WE'VE HAD THE WORKSHOP WITH COUNSEL AND IT WOULD. YEAH, SAME. THE FREEHOLD PIECE OF THIS IS WHO'S WORKING ON THE ROCK BLUFF PROJECT. AND SO YEAH, THAT THAT IS STILL MOVING FORWARD. SO YEAH, I ANTICIPATE WE NEED TO GET THIS DONE, BUT THAT'LL BE THE NEXT ONE WE PICK UP AND START WORKING ON. LET'S SAY THAT ONE FALLS THROUGH FOR SOME REASON. ARE THERE, ARE THERE, IS THERE LANGUAGE IN HERE TYING THIS ONE TO THAT, TO A POINT WHERE IT WOULD MAKE CAUSE PROBLEMS IN THIS AGREEMENT IF THAT ONE WERE TO FALL OUT? NO, I WOULD SAY IF THE OTHER AGREEMENT WAS HAPPENED FIRST, IT WOULD BE MORE CHALLENGING. OKAY, THIS ONE BEING DONE FIRST. IT KIND OF JUST SETS THE STAGE FOR ROCK BLUFF TO BE MORE SUCCESSFUL. BUT THERE'S NOTHING IN HERE THAT WILL CREATE ANY ISSUES FOR THE CITY. IF IF ROCK BLUFF DOESN'T HAPPEN, NEVER COMES. OKAY. YEAH. OKAY. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. WE CAN HAVE SOME DISCUSSION. DID HE READ THE CAPTION? HE DID BECAUSE I SAID I WAS GOING TO FORGET. OKAY, PERFECT. I DID READ THE CAPTION. I WILL SAY THERE ARE TWO MINOR AMENDMENTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT WOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE SECOND READING. THERE'S A SLIGHT CHANGE IN THE ACREAGE OF LAND, AND THEN THE SECOND ONE. OH YES, A VERY IMPORTANT ONE. THE CLOSING DATE WITH WITH PEREGRINE, SINCE WE MOVED THIS BACK, A MEETING THAT CLOSING DATE WILL, WILL CHANGE. SO THOSE THOSE ARE TWO MINOR CHANGES THAT WILL COME FORTH IN THE SECOND READING. OKAY. I'LL MOVE. APPROVAL OF THE ORDINANCE IS READ. SECOND, ANY DISCUSSION NEEDED ON THIS ONE? I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT SETTING A PRECEDENCE OF WHERE INCREASING FROM $0.55 TO $0.65

[01:20:06]

AND MAYBE $0.75 NEXT YEAR. AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. SO YEAH, I UNDERSTAND. I MEAN, I THINK THAT WE NEED TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE POLICY. I MEAN, I THINK OUR POLICY IS OFF. I THINK THAT THAT 65 IS IS GOING TO BE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE IN THE MARKETPLACE. AND ALSO, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT IT'S A MAXIMUM OF 65. IT'S YOU KNOW, TONIGHT WE ADOPTED A TAX RATE.

THEY'RE ADOPTING A MAXIMUM. AND IN ORDER TO BE COMPETITIVE IN THE MARKETPLACE, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET IT TO WHERE, YOU KNOW, IF OTHERS ARE AT $0.55, THEY'RE GOING TO GET TO $0.55 TO SELL HOUSES. AND SO BUT ONE OTHER I DO WANT TO SAY ONE THING TOO, BECAUSE WHEN I CALL OUT, WE THANKED A LOT OF PEOPLE IN NICK AND THE TEAM. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I THINK YOU ALL DID AN AMAZING JOB ON THIS. I THINK THIS IS A, YOU KNOW, A FORMULA THAT THAT OTHERS WILL HOPEFULLY FOLLOW. ALSO WANT TO THANK MR. YEARWOOD, WHO'S NOT WITH US HERE TONIGHT, BUT WHO TOLD EVERYONE WHO CAME AND LOOKED AT HIS PROPERTY THAT HE WASN'T GOING TO SELL IT TO HIM UNLESS THEY AGREED TO ANNEX INTO THE CITY, AND PROBABLY AT A DEATH TO HIMSELF. BUT WE APPRECIATE HIM DOING THAT, SO I'LL MAKE SURE JOHN KNOWS. OKAY, I WAS GOING TO MAKE ONE COMMENT ABOUT THAT. I THINK ONE OF THE ADVANTAGES OF THIS ONE, IT IS AN EXTREMELY CHALLENGING SITE.

I MEAN, FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, I THINK I TRUST THE THE FREE MARKET, IF THEY THINK THAT THEY CAN SELL THE HOUSES AT THAT RATE, YOU KNOW, I THINK TO SOME EXTENT WE NEED TO TRUST PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO DO MATH. AND I AGREE, I THINK THE FACT THAT IT IS AN IN CITY MIND MAKES IT PREFERABLE TO, SAY, OTHER MUDS. CAN I JUST MAKE ONE COMMENT AROUND LIKE, IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT THE POLICY IN GENERAL, IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE GETTING STUCK. AND I THINK THE WORDING IS EXTRAORDINARY, I THINK IS WHAT'S USED IN LIKE THE MUD POLICY AROUND LIKE THERE'S EXTRAORDINARY, EXCEPTIONAL. IT'S ONE OF THOSE WORDS, EXTRAORDINARY, EXCEPTIONAL, SOMETHING THAT THEY'RE SHOWING, YOU KNOW, THAT THEY'VE DONE THESE EXTRAORDINARY AND EXCEPTIONAL THINGS. WELL, COULD WE MAYBE CLARIFY WHAT THOSE ARE? I MEAN, I KNOW WE TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, COLLECTOR, YOU KNOW, ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE AND, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT THEY PUT INTO THESE DEVELOPMENTS, BUT MAYBE THERE'S VALUE IN HAVING A CONVERSATION AROUND WHAT ARE THESE EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES THAT THEY NEED TO MEET TO JUSTIFY A HIGHER TAX RATE? BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE USE THOSE CLARIFICATION WORDS. WELL, WHAT DOES THAT REALLY MEAN TO US? AND I KNOW THAT THERE'S CLARIFICATION THERE, BUT MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING WE COULD FURTHER CLARIFY. WELL, I THINK THE EXTRAORDINARY FOR SURE ON THIS ONE, THE FACT THAT IT'S A QUARRY IN TRYING TO REDEVELOP IT, IT'S MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT. AND THE STATE LEGISLATURE REALLY CARES ABOUT OUR TAX RATE.

WE SAID AS A CITY, BUT THEY DON'T REALLY CARE AT ALL ABOUT MUD TAX RATES. SO THEY CAN SAY WHATEVER THEY WANT. TO BE HONEST WITH YOU ON THE $0.65. PART OF IT IS OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE. THE HOA WILL MAINTAIN EVERYTHING FOR THE MOST PART. I GUESS THE DRAINAGE, WHAT WOULD WHAT WOULD THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE POTENTIALLY BE FOR THIS MUD FOR AN FOR AN IN-CITY MUD, IT'S GOING TO BE PRETTY LIMITED. THEY LIKELY WILL HAVE SOME INITIAL MAINTENANCE OF THE DRAINAGE FACILITIES, JUST THE LOGISTICS OF HOW THAT WORKS, WHO BUILDS IT, AND THEN IT GETS TRANSFERRED OVER TO THE HOA. AND IN CITY MUD SHOULD NOT HAVE A LOT OF M AND O COSTS THE MAJORITY THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE. COUNCIL MEMBER BUTLER BROUGHT UP ARE GOING TO BE MORE THEIR MUD CONSULTANT COST, WHICH IS GOING TO BE THEIR ATTORNEYS AND THEIR ENGINEERS. YEAH. NO, THE TWO PRIMARIES, WHEN I'VE LOOKED AT THE OPERATING BUDGET OF MUD, THE OTHER THE M AND O PIECE IS JUST PAYING FOR ATTORNEYS AND ENGINEERS AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES. BUT IN IN THE CITY, I MEAN, MOST OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE THAT THE CITY WILL MAINTAIN. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT. WE GOT A MOTION. AND SECOND, ALL IN FAVOR AND ALL OPPOSED. MR. BUTLER'S OPPOSED. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU ALL, NICK. APPRECIATE

AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THAT REIMBURSEMENT TO TAKE PLACE. REALLY, THE MAIN DIFFERENCE IS JUST EXTENDING THE YEARS TO 2042 INSTEAD OF ENDING AT 2038.
