[00:00:09]

>> ALL RIGHT. HOPEFULLY THIS CONVERSATION DIDN'T GET ON THE

[Workshop Session - 6:30 P.M. ]

] >> GOOD EVENING. IT IS 6:30 P.M.

WE WILL CALL THIS WORK SESSION OF THE LEWISVILLE WORK SESSION TO ORDER. I DON'T THINK I NEED TO REMIND ANYBODY OF THE MICROPHONES. WE WILL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO ITEM A. SO, I'VE GOT DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM MAYOR TROYER. I'VE GOT A PROPER MISSION AND A PRESENTATION. ITEM E1, PUBLIC HEARING.

>> ANY BIG QUESTION ON THAT? >> IN LOOKING FOR THIS,

>> SHE CAN ATTEST. I WAS RESERVE FOR 10, 12 YEARS. THIS GAVE ME HEARTBURN. LOOKING AT HOW TIGHT THIS WAS. AND ALL THE STREET PARKING THAT'S GOING TO RESULT FROM THAT. I WOULD BACK THIS WHOLEHEARTEDLY IF THE THREE THAT WERE FACING THE BACK PROPERTY HAD NO STREET FACING BECAUSE THAT WOULD OPEN TO ADDITIONAL PARKING, PLUS OUR FIRE APPARATUS. WE WOULD NOT HAVE ANY ISSUE WHATSOEVER. SO, THAT'S MY ISSUE ON THIS IS MAINLY -- AND I'M JUST GOING BACK TO WRITING OUT.

>> YOU KNOW HOW YOU HAVE CALLUM HERE. CAN YOU HAVE ALL THESE FACING.

>> YES. >> SHOULD WE DO THIS OUT THERE?

>> I JUST HAVE SOME QUESTIONS HERE. THIS -- THESE I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH. BASIC INQUIRY. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THESE RIGHT HERE. MY PROBLEM IS WITH THESE RIGHT HERE BECAUSE OF FIRE

APPARATUS. >> 456.

>> IF WE REMOVE THAT AND THAT'S ALL PARKING, OUR FIRING APPARATUS HAS NO PROBLEM. IT JUST GAVE ME THE WILLIES AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER ME TALKING ABOUT THOSE TOWNHOMES AND AS HAVING TO DO A 20 POINT TURN TO GET IN AND

GET BACK OUT. >> I THINK OUR FIRE MARSHAL HAS

>> THIS MEETS CODE AS DESIGNED. THE ONE THING WE'VE SAID WE WANTED TO DO -- MY CONCERN WITH THAT IS IT'S THE SAME THING IS FIRST OFF, HOW THE BUILDINGS ARE LAID OUT. LESS THAN WE WOULD LIKE WITH THE IDEA. MY BIGGEST CONCERN WAS THOSE ARE PRIVATE DRIVES. IF IT'S A PARKING -- WHO IS KEEPING ALL OF IT? SO WE TALKED ABOUT THIS PROCESS. ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS IS THAT HAS TO BE LESS THAN WHAT I WOULD DECIDE IS IDEAL.

>> WE ARE LOOKING AT 20. REALLY, ONLY 18 ON THE ONE TRUCK AND THE TURN RADIUS TO GO IN THE CENTER IS -- IS -- I'VE GOT MAJOR HEARTBURN FROM THIS. I CAN SUPPORT IT IF FOUR, FIVE, AND SIX -- BECAUSE YOU HAVE MORE SPACE -- AND YOU CAN PARK EVERYBODY THERE -- AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW. YOU HAVE TO PUT ONLINE ALL THE WAY ACROSS TO THOSE TO GET THAT FIRE HYDRANT BACK ON BY FOUR. .4, FIVE, OR SIX. IT IS JUST CRAMMING THAT IN IS -- I'M JUST NOT WILLING. I LOOK AT THOSE TOWNHOMES. WE'VE

[00:05:05]

>> ANY QUESTIONS? >> I HAVE A WHOLE LOT THAT I

WANT TO SAY. BUT I'M GOING TO >> COUNCIL, ANY OTHER COMMENTS?

>> I DO WANT TO MAKE ONE QUICK ONE. I TALKED TO THE DEVELOPER JUST BEFORE THE MEETING AND HE PLANNED ON BEING HERE BUT HE IS ILL TONIGHT, SO HE ASKED THAT IF THERE'S ANY MAJOR RESERVATIONS, HE WANTED TO BE HERE TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS. HE WOULD ASK THAT WE CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING TO THE NEXT MEETING SINCE HE WAS UNABLE TO ATTEND TONIGHT.

>> AND IF WE GET TO THAT POINT, I THINK THAT IS FAIR.

>> THANK YOU. >> CONSENT AGENDA.

>> ITEM 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES. ITEM 3, AWARD FOR ANNUAL --

>> THESE ARE MAXIMUM NOT TO EXCEED. IT CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD BECAUSE THE PRIMARY AMOUNT IS LESS THAN THE AMOUNT FOR THE SECONDARY.

THE PRIMARY AND WANTING IS THE SECONDARY. DOES THAT DETERMINE WHO WE ARE CALLING TO DO WHAT, OR HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?

>> SO IT'S NOT A MAXIMUM NOT TO EXCEED. ESTIMATED QUANTITY THAT

WE PUT IN THE BID. >> CAN YOU EXPAND TO THEM WHAT A

REQUIREMENTS CONTRACT IS. >> SO, A REQUIREMENTS CONTRACT IS ESSENTIALLY YOU HAVE A LIST OF UNITS. THERE WERE TYPES OF DATA ITEMS WITH A QUANTITY FOR EACH, AND SO THAT IS WHAT THEY BID, BUT IT IS REALLY JUST ESTABLISHING THE UNIT PRICE FOR

A TITLE. IT IS NOT A MAXIMUM. >> IT IS NOT A LUMP SUM, EITHER.

>> NO. IT IS REALLY JUST ESTABLISHING UNIT PRICES.

BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW. WITH THESE TYPES OF CONTRACTS, WE REALLY DON'T KNOW EACH ITEM BEFORE HAND. WE ARE JUST ESTABLISHING THOSE UNIT PRICES.

>> OKAY. >> AS FAR AS HOW YOU WOULD USE THEM, THE PRIMARY CONTRACT IS GOING TO BE USED AS MUCH AS THEY HAVE CAPACITY AS LONG AS THEY ARE SATISFACTORY. SO AS LONG AS WE ARE KEEPING UP WITH THE SECONDARY CONTRACTOR IS THERE TO PICK UP THE FLOW AND

INAUDIBLE - LOW VOLUME ] >> WHAT BUDGET DOES THIS DRAW

AGAINST? >> GO AHEAD. DO YOU WANT TO TALK

ABOUT THAT? >> WE HAD A CAPITAL PROJECT FOR STREAMING.

DOPED >> THAT IS WHERE YOUR CAP COMES

IN. >> YEAH. HE BUDGET EACH YEAR FOR YOUR PROJECT. WE ARE WORKING OFF OF THAT.

>> IT IS MORE THAN A 4.5. >> IT IS 13 MILLION THAT WE SPREAD OUT ACROSS THE SIDEWALKS.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THAT? ITEM 4. FIRST AMENDMENT. KEEP LEWISVILLE BEAUTIFUL. I WILL RECUSE MYSELF ON THIS ONE.

>> SO WE HAVE TO REMOVE THIS FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA.

>> RIGHT. >> AND THEN RONNIE IS IN CHARGE.

>> SHE JUST SAID --. >> ESTIMATED THAT WAS FOR BOBBY

IN 1996. >> IT'S OKAY.

>> THAT'S THE LAST ITEM ON THE AGENDA. WE DO NOT HAVE ANY STAFF REPORTS THIS EVENING. JUST GENERAL REPORTS AND WE DO NOT HAVE ANY CLOSED SESSION ITEMS. IS THAT CORRECT?

>> WE DON'T BUT MAYOR, BEFORE WE GO INTO OUR WORKSHOP, I DID WANT TO INTRODUCE YOU TO OUR NEW CITY ENGINEER. THIS IS BRENT SCHWAB. HE IS OUR NEW CITY ENGINEER. HE HAILS FROM INAUDIBLE - MUFFLED ] WHERE HE WAS THE CITY ENGINEER.

>> CAN I

>> NO, YOU CANNOT

>> BRETT, DO YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING?

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HAVING ME HERE. BEING PART OF

[00:10:05]

THE ORGANIZATION. >> WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME OVERLAP WITH DAVID JUST SO THERE'S A SOFT TRANSITION THERE

IN THE NEXT MONTH. >> IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, SIR, JUST CALL ME. JUST KIDDING. JUST KIDDING.

>> DON'T DO THAT TO AN ENGINEER. THE --

>> ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR INTRODUCTIONS BEFORE WE MOVED

BACK TO ITEM B? >> NEXT UP, ITEM B. THE TITLE GETS BIGGER EVERY YEAR, CHRIS. WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? HE'S OUR PROJECT CONTROLLER. ALL THAT GOOD STUFF.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR, COUNCIL.

AN OPPORTUNITY ALSO TO INTRODUCE BRITNEY FOLK. SHE IS OUR NEW

ANIMAL SERVICES MANAGER. >> HELLO. WELCOME.

>> IT IS AN HONOR BEING HERE. >> IT'S BEEN THE AMOUNT OF TIME WE NEEDED TO GET THE RIGHT

>> I'M VERY EXCITED TO BE IN LEWISVILLE. I COME WITH ALMOST 10 YEARS EXPERIENCE. SO IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE VOLUME ] -- BUT IT'S AN HONOR. IT'S AN HONOR TO BE PART OF THE TEAM. I'M VERY EXCITED TO BE HERE.

>> DID YOU ALSO COME FROM DENTON?

>> I CAME FROM IRVING. >> I CAN SAY IT?

>> COMING TO US WITH AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF EXPERIENCE. WE ARE EXCITED FOR HER TO GET STARTED. AND WHAT A PERFECT TIME TO GET STARTED TO JUMP INTO IT -- A PROJECT HERE WITH ANIMAL SERVICES, SO -- I WANTED TO JUST TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO TALK TO COUNCIL AND MAYOR ABOUT THE PROJECT STATUS AND WHERE WE ARE AT AND ALSO THE SCOPE OF WORK SO THAT WE ARE ALIGNED IN HOW TO MOVE FORWARD. THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY A FINAL DISCUSSION ON CONSTRUCTION COST. WE ARE JUST LOOKING AT ESTIMATES PRIOR TO THE RFQ FOR THE CMR. BASICALLY JUST WANT TO CONFIRM COUNCIL UNDERSTANDS WHAT'S GOING TO BE INCLUDED IN THE FACE BID, AND WE HAVE SOME SLIDES A LITTLE BIT LATER ON WHERE WE'LL HAVE A BREAKDOWN OF THE BUDGET AND WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT FOR THIS PROJECT, AND ALSO A TIMELINE MOVING FORWARD. LOOKING AT THE OVERALL PROJECT BUDGET OF $9.9 MILLION, WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THIS, MR. -- WILL GO INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE. FOCUSING ON WHAT THE MOST IMPORTANT ITEMS WERE. THE SURGICAL SUITE, THE PREOP POST RECOVERY AREAS AND RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE A SMALLER ROOM THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY OF THESE RECOVERY AREAS AND SO THIS WILL BE REALLY BENEFICIAL FOR US AND OUR PROCESS IN GETTING ANIMALS TO ADOPTION AND INCREASING OUR RELEASE RATE AND ADDITIONAL KENNEL CAPACITY AS DISCUSSED WITH COUNCIL IN PRIOR DISCUSSIONS. WE ARE REALLY NEEDING THAT LARGE DOG KENNEL CAPACITY FOR DOGS OVER 20 POUNDS. SO, IN ADDITION TO THAT, ALSO, THE EXTENSION OF SOME OF THE OFFICE AREAS. ALL THAT INCLUDING OUR CURRENT BASE FARE. SOME OTHER ITEMS WE HAVE LISTED -- AND I BROUGHT YOU ALL SOME CLOSE UPS TO BE OF THE SEE THOSE BETTER OF WHAT THOSE ALTERNATES ARE AND WHAT SOME OF THOSE THINGS ARE. THAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU. BUT THE ALTERNATE, WE HAVE EXPANDED FACILITIES AND THE QUARANTINE AREA WHICH IS ACTUALLY RIGHT HERE AT THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING. BACK THERE.

THERE IS ALSO ADDITIONAL STAFF WORKSTATIONS WHICH WAS A THOUGHT OF MOVING FORWARD -- WE BELIEVE THAT THERE WILL BE SOME OTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOME WORKSTATIONS IN THE SHELTER FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD. AS THEY'RE NOT CURRENTLY NEEDED.

AND THEN I MENTIONED THE LOCATION OF THE ISOLATION AND

[00:15:01]

ALTERNATES. >> YES. THANK YOU. SO, THE PROMISE TO THE TAXPAYERS WAS THE SURGERY UPGRADES AND THE NEW KENNELS, AND THAT PRICE WAS $3.4 MILLION OUT OF THE 9.9 AND WHEN WE ADDED IN THE OTHER ALTERNATES, THE -- WHICH -- WHICH YOU CAN SEE HERE AND I'LL CLICK TO ANOTHER SLIDE, IT PUT US OVER THE BUDGET IF WE ARE USING ESCALATION THROUGH THE POINT AT WHICH WE WILL TAKE THIS OUT TO THE STREET. THAT WOULD BE FROM MAY TWO -- TED NOVEMBER RIGHTSIZING THE BUDGET AND THE SCOPE TO MATCH THE BUDGET AND PUT EVERYTHING ELSE AS AN ALTERNATE. THE TOUGH THING FOR US RIGHT NOW IS WE ARE CARRYING 1.1% PER MONTH FOR ESCALATION. THAT IS AFTER BEING DRIVEN BY -- I'M SURE YOU ALL HEARD ABOUT THE DAVIS CENTERS THAT ARE STARTING UP NOW. THE PRICE OF COPPER, I THINK WE -- WE HAVE A 1.6 TRILLION DOLLAR BACKLOG OF DATA CENTERS COMING ONLINE THIS YEAR. THAT ARE GOING TO -- ABOUT THE TIME WE ARE AND WE HAVE THE HIGHEST PRICES THAT WE ARE PAYING FOR COPPER RIGHT NOW. SO IT'S A VERY SCARY TIME TO PROJECT WHAT COSTS ARE GOING TO BE LATER THIS YEAR WHEN IT GOES OUT TO THE SUBCONTRACTORS. SO THOSE RESERVES WERE USING SCOPES AS CONTINGENCIES. SO IF WE ARE WRONG, AND I HOPE I'M WRONG, THEN WE HAVE ALTERNATES THAT WE CAN SPEND THAT MONEY ON AND WHEN THE BIDS COME IN, WE ARE VERY HOPEFUL THAT WE ARE GOING TO GET MORE SCOPE THAN WE HAVE NOW. BUT THE BASE THAT WE HAVE PROMISED, WE ARE SURE WE CAN GET DONE. AND THEN, THE -- THE USE ALTERNATES ARE THIS AREA HERE AND SOME RECOVERY AREAS THAT ARE GOING TO BE -- THIS LAUNDRY IS THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY SO IT IS THAT ALTERNATE NUMBER ONE AND IT IS -- AND THE BASE BID IS UNDERNEATH THAT AND THIS RELOCATION OF THE CAT ISOLATION AND QUARANTINE HERE ARE ALSO ALTERNATES NUMBER TWO.

YOU WANT TO SEE THE OVERALL BASE IS THE STREGGS MANSION. THIS IS

[00:20:02]

INAUDIBLE ] WE ALSO HAVE THIS OFFICE RENOVATION TO ALLOW FOR THE NEW STAFF. SO THAT'S THE OVERVIEW OF THE ALTERNATES. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT BASE BID VERSUS ALTERNATES?

>> STAFF MEETING FOR ALL THAT.

>> LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE SCHEDULE. NEXT THING WE'LL SEE IS AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE RFQ AND THIS IS THE INAUDIBLE ] COMING ON BOARD AND SHORTLISTED IN FEBRUARY. AND THEN THEIR RFPS ARE DUE ON THE FIFTH. INTERVIEWS WILL BE HELD AND WE WILL BE COMING BACK TO COUNCIL TO BRING THEIR PRECONSTRUCTION CONTRACT YOU ON APRIL 12. SO, THAT PROCESS WILL BRING CMAR ON BOARD, WHICH WILL BRING A WHOLE ANOTHER DEPARTMENT ON BOARD.

ESTIMATE, THAT WE ARE NOT SEEING 1.1 PERCENT PER MONTH. MAYBE WE ARE SEEING .9% PER MONTH. MAYBE THE CMAR AND OUR FIRM RECEIVE A BUNCH OF INPUT THIS SPRING THAT CALMS OUR FEARS, AND WE CAN EXPAND THE BASE SCOPE TO INCLUDE MORE AND MORE. WITH THE DESIGNER. RIGHT NOW WE ARE AT 100% SCHEMATIC DESIGN OR ROUGHLY 25% DONE WITH THE DESIGN. THESE DATES MAY CHANGE A WEEK OR TWO HERE OR THERE BUT THAT'S GENERAL. WE ARE GOING TO BE TARGETING THE 12TH AND 13TH. AND COME BACK TO PRESENT THE CMAR PRECONSTRUCTION SERVICES START AND WE ARE GOING OUT TO THE SUBCONTRACTING COMMUNITY IN JULY. WHEN WE BID IT OUT. THE DRIVES WILL HAVE A BASE BID AND AN ALTERNATE ONE AND AN ALTERNATE TO PRICE FOR EVERY SUBCONTRACTOR. THEY WILL PUT THOSE MONIES IN THERE. AND WHEN WE WRITE THE CONTRACT FOR THAT, WE WILL CARRY THOSE ALTERNATES IN THE CONTRACT WITH THE SUBCONTRACTORS SO THAT AFTER -- AND THEY WILL HAVE THE EXPIRATION DATE, SO EVEN AFTER THE SUBCONTRACTORS ARE BROUGHT ON BOARD AND IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO AWARD THE AFTER WE START WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A RENOVATION, AND WE GET PAST THAT RISK, WE WILL BE ABLE TO STILL THEN ADD SOME OF THE EXPANSIONS ONTO THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING AND IN THE VERY WORST CASE WE HAVE TO USE OUR RESERVES, THEN, WE WILL FIND OURSELVES WITH CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FOR THIS ADDITION. OH, I SHOULD KNOW BETTER. CAN'T GET WITHIN THREE FEET OF THAT SCREEN. ESPECIALLY RUBBING MY FEET ON THE CARPET. RIGHT? SO, YOU WILL END UP WITH CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS THAT ARE READY TO PUT THAT ADDITION ON LATER. THAT'S THE WISDOM OF THE COUNCIL. SO IT'S A VERY SAFE PROCESS THAT DELIVERS WHAT WE PROMISE TO THE VOTERS AND THE BUDGET I THINK YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE. THIS IS THE BASE. THESE ARE THE OPTIONAL ALTERNATES. THIS IS THE CMAR'S CONTRACT AMOUNT, AND THIS IS OUR CONTRACT. ARCHITECTS CONTRACT. PUBLIC ART -- PARK, AND THE REMAINING BUDGET IS 2.75 MILLION FOR PRECONSTRUCTION CONTINGENCY, CONSTRUCTION CONTINGENCY AND EXCLUDED -- EXCAVATION.

INAUDIBLE ] WITH THAT, I'LL PAUSE AGAIN AND SEE IF THERE ARE

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. >> IS THE PUBLIC PARK ALLOCATION COMING FROM THE

[00:25:12]

>> WE COULD. >> THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS WE LISTED. WE ADDED THAT FOR 10 YEARS FOR VARIOUS PROJECTS. THIS IS ONE OF THE PROJECTS WE EARMARKED FOR PUBLIC

] >> THERE ARE THOSE THAT THINK

THAT -- IS A WORK OF ART. >>

OVERLAPPING SPEAKERS ] >> RIGHT?

>> I'M PRETTY SURE

>> I'LL TURN IT BACK TO MY COLLEAGUE.

>> AND SO THE FINAL SLIDE HERE IS KIND OF TALKING ABOUT HOW DO WE MOVE FORWARD LIKE ONCE CONSTRUCTION BEGINS, HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN OPERATIONS THAT THE RESIDENTS WILL CONTINUE TO EXPECT FROM ANIMAL SERVICES AND YOU KNOW, BASICALLY ONE STORY SHORT, IN MY DISCUSSIONS, THEY DO THESE TYPES OF PROJECTS ALL THE TIME WITH SHELTER ADDITIONS.

CONFIDENT THAT WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS. YES. I KNOW THAT THERE ARE GOING TO BE UNFORESEEN SITUATIONS AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK CONTINUING TO WORK WITH RESCUE GROUPS AND LOOKING AT PHASING SOME OF THE CONSTRUCTION THAT WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN OPERATIONS. AND BASICALLY WE HOPE TO BE BACK TO SPEAK WITH COUNCIL IN APRIL. GIVE OR TAKE.

>> MAYBE A WEEK. >> I JUST HAD A QUICK COMMENT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, SINCE I'VE LIVED THROUGH CONSTRUCTION FOR A VERY LONG TIME, I KNOW THAT IT IS STRESSFUL FOR THE ANIMALS, BUT, I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT A FOSTER PROGRAM. I KNOW WE NEED TO -- I DON'T KNOW HOW OPERATIONAL OUR FOSTER PROGRAM IS, THAT THEY MAY -- SOME OF THE DOGS AND CATS CAN'T HANDLE IT EVEN IF THEY PHYSICALLY HAVE THE SPACE THAT'S NOT INFECTED. JUST THE NOISE AND THE CONSTRUCTION. TOO MUCH FOR SOME OF THEM. WE HAVE OPTIONS OF SOME FOSTER FAMILIES OR WHATEVER . SOME OF THOSE PETS TO GO TO DURING CONSTRUCTION.

>> AGREED. IT IS THE THE FOSTER PROGRAM, BRINGING IN RESCUES. SHE HAS A LOT OF EXPERIENCE IN THOSE PARTICULAR AREAS, AND I ALREADY SAW HER WORKING SOME MAGIC TODAY, GETTING ANIMALS OUT TO RESCUES SO THEY ARE NOT IN THE SHELTER. SO IT IS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT ESPECIALLY WHEN WE ARE LOOKING AT RECOVERY AREAS ALONG THERE.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR NOISE WITH STAFF? THAT SORT OF THING.

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF IDEAS THAT WE DISCUSSED TO TRY TO WORK AROUND SOME OF THIS SITUATIONS, BUT ULTIMATELY, MY REASSURANCE COMES FROM QUORUM THAT CAN BE DONE AND THEY HAVE DONE IT

BEFORE IN THE PAST. >> DOES WHITE NOISE WORK ON

ANIMALS? >> IT DOES.

>> THAT'S A LOT OF WHITE NOISE.

>>

>> I BELIEVE WE'VE DONE

THAT. >> WE ARE NOT QUITE THAT FAR.

IDENTIFIED EXACTLY WHAT THE FOUNDATIONS WILL BE BUT THAT'S WHAT SOME OF THE PRECONSTRUCTION CONTINGENCY IS FOR. WE ARE COMFORTABLE THAT WE CAN ABSORB WHATEVER CHANGES TO OUR

FOUNDATION ASSUMPTIONS ARE. >> THAT IS MORE OPEN.

>> I MEAN AS FAR AS THESE ALTERNATES, I GUESS, IF WE GET 10 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD, HOW -- CAN THEY? WE ARE DOING THEM NOW.

>> I THINK THESE ARE ALL IMPORTANT. IF WE WOULD'VE HAD THEM AS ADULTS. THE GOOD NEWS IS WE HIRE PEOPLE FOR TWO REASONS.

[00:30:01]

WE ARE BEING CONSERVATIVE SO WE DON'T HAVE TO SAY WHEN WE HAVE MORE MONEY. I THINK THIS IS A CONSERVATIVE APPROACH. I FEEL OPTIMISTIC. CHRIS IS ALWAYS A PESSIMIST. AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, LIKE CHRIS SAID, IF IT DOESN'T FIT WITHIN BASE BUDGET WE WILL HAVE THE DESIGN READY SO IN THE FUTURE WE CAN

- LOW VOLUME ] >> THIS IS WAY MORE EXPENSIVE.

>> A LOT MORE EXPENSIVE. >> THE GOAL IS TO HAVE IT OUT.

WE WILL BRING IT BACK TO YOU AT THE POINT WHERE WE NOW INAUDIBLE - LOW VOLUME ] TOUCH POINT WITH YOU GUYS.

>> WE ARE OUT OF TI >> ORDERED. GOOD EVENING.

HOW ARE YOU, SIR? DOING WELL, THANK YOU. I HAVE THE ESTEEMED PLEASURE TO PRESENT THIS CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT TO MR. RODRICK MAYBERRY JR. IN RECOGNITION OF HIS -- 2025 SUSAN JARED YOUNG PROFESSIONAL OF THE YEAR AWARD FOR JANUARY 2026.

RODRICK, CONGRATULATIONS. CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT

THE SWORD? >> SO I GOT THIS AWARD BECAUSE I VOLUNTEERED SOME OF MY TIME TO THROW FIVE STATE TOURNAMENTS FOR YOUTH AND ADULT FLAG FOOTBALL AND I'VE ALSO DEDICATED SOME OF MY TIME TO WORK FOUR TRACK MEETS OVER THE SUMMER FOR THE STATE GAMES. I ALSO WORKED THE WINTER GAMES FOR SWIMMING, SO, THEY GAVE ME THE AWARD FOR ME VOLUNTEERING SOME TIME AND STAYED WITH MY FAMILY FOR A LITTLE BIT. THEY PROBABLY LOVE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN I DID BUT HEY, DEFINITELY WORKED HARD AND IT'S NICE BEING RECOGNIZED FOR IT.

>> AWESOME. THANK YOU. >> BRINGING THEM RIGHT UP --

[1. Announcement of 2026 ColorPalooza Logo Contest Winner and Unveiling of Design.]

APPRECIATE YOU GUYS. NEXT UP WE HAVE A PRESENTATION AND I HAVE DENISE HERE TO ANNOUNCE --

>> THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT. MAYOR, COUNCIL, CITY MANAGER, I AM EXCITED TO REVEAL THE 2026 COLORPALOOZA LOGO DESIGN AND INTRODUCE YOU TO THE ARTIST WHO MADE IT HERE TONIGHT. I'M JOINED BY MR. PEREZ, THE GUIDANCE COUNSELOR FOR LHS KILO, WHO IS GOING TO ASSIST ME WITH SOME TRANSLATIONS. SINCE COLORPALOOZA STARTED IN 2016, IT MAKES THE

[00:35:02]

>>

>> THIS YEAR'S WINNING LOGO WAS DESIGNED BY LHS KILO SOPHOMORE, FLORES MEIJA. IT IS COLORFUL, FRIENDLY, AND FULL OF LIFE, AND SHE WANTED TO CREATE A LOGO THAT REPRESENTS A FUN EVENT THAT CELEBRATES ARTISTS AND CREATIVITY.

>>

>> ALL RIGHT. AND NOW YOU CAN SEE HER BEAUTIFUL LOGO ON THE SCREENS AND OVERHEAR ON OUR SIGN. SHE USED PLAYFUL LETTERS AND PAINT SPLASHES TO SHOW ENERGY AND FUN IN THE PAINT BRUSH SINCE FOR ART IMAGINATION. AND WHILE SHE CORRECTED THE SHAPES OF THE LOGO TO MAKE IT FEEL ALIVE AND WELCOMING. SHE WANTED HER DESIGN TO SHOW HOW COLORPALOOZA BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER TO CELEBRATE ART AND SELF-EXPRESSION. THE LOGO IS BRIGHT, BOLD, AND JOYFUL, JUST LIKE HOW SHE THINKS THE EVENT IS. AND SHE HEARD ABOUT THE CONTEST FROM HER ART TEACHER, MISS BERMAN, WHO IS HERE TONIGHT.

>>

>> THE AWARD FOR THE LOGO CONTEST IS $1500 SCHOLARSHIP WHICH IS ADMINISTERED BY THE GREATER LEWISVILLE ARTS ALLIANCE. TONIGHT WE HAVE A COUPLE OF T-SHIRTS FOR HER AND HER FAMILY TO BE ABLE TO WEAR BEFORE THE EVENT AND WILL MAKE SURE TO GET HER THE FULL INVENTORY OF ALL ITEMS CREATED USING THE LOGO. SO CONGRATS, GRADY. WE ARE SO PROUD TO HAVE YOUR LOGO AS PART OF COLORPALOOZA.

>>

>> I WANT TO SAY SO MUCH THANK YOU, EVERYBODY.

>> GREAT LOGO. THANK YOU SO MUCH. LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING IT

ALL OVER THE PLACE. >> ALL RIGHT. EVERYONE ELSE UPFRONT? I THINK I DID.

[1. Public Hearing: Consideration of an Ordinance of the Lewisville City Council, Amending the Zoning Ordinance by Rezoning Approximately 0.6158 Acres of Land, Legally Described as Lots 5 and 6 and a Portion of Lots 11 and 12, Block 3, O.B.

>> HERE WE GO. I DON'T EAT. PUBLIC HEARING. PUBLIC HEARING:

[00:40:14]

24-12-3-PZ). THE OWNER PURCHASED THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 421 SOUTH KILLAM AVENUE AND THE PROPERTY AT WEST 23. THE HOMES OF THE TWO PROPERTIES AS A TO HOME COMMUNITY. FROM THE ALL-TIME TO THE V COMMITTEE WAS GRANTED ON NOVEMBER 2024 WITH EXTERIOR ELEVATIONS AND SITE LAYOUTS. ARE COMMITTED APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST BUT A VOTE OF 4-1. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THE CITY ATTORNEY PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS IS NOW OPEN. I DO NOT HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT CARDS ON THIS BUT I KNOW WE DO HAVE SOME COUNCIL

QUESTIONS. >> YES. I HAVE QUITE A FEW. I DON'T HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE WANTS TO -- I DO HAVE JUST A QUICK ONE AND THEN I WILL LET SOMEONE ELSE GO BECAUSE I HAVE A LIST OF THINGS. I SAW SOMEWHERE ON THE RIGHT UP THAT WAS DISCUSSING ABOUT TWO LETTERS OF OPPOSITION THAT WERE RECEIVED. I DIDN'T SEE THAT. IS THERE A BACKUP? COULD YOU -- I SAW SOMETHING ABOUT THE NATURE OF THE OPPOSITION ABOUT BEING WITH THE DENSITY AND LOWERING OF PROPERTY VALUES AND I MAY HAVE READ THIS IN THE PNC MINUTES. I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT I SAW BUT I WAS CURIOUS WHO THE LETTERS OF OPPOSITION WERE COMING FROM. ARE THEY COMING FROM ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS?

>> I RECALL THERE BEING SOME PHONE CALLS OR MAYBE SOME OF THE AREA RESIDENTS COMING TO VISIT WHO WANT ABLE TO UNDERSTAND INAUDIBLE ] ONCE STAFF WAS ABLE TO EXPLAIN THE VARIOUS CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SITE AND HOW IT WAS GOING TO BE LAID OUT, I THINK MOST OF THEM WALKED AWAY OKAY. YOU KNOW.

>> SOME OF THEM SAID THERE WERE TWO LETTERS OF OPPOSITION.

>> LET ME -- >> AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT READ

THAT RIGHT? >> I CAN GO BACK AND PULL THOSE OUT OF OUR FILE. I DO APOLOGIZE. THOSE SHOULD'VE BEEN INCLUDED

WITH THE PACKET. >> OKAY.

>> IT IS NOT MAKE OR BREAK. I WAS JUST CURIOUS. IT IS REALLY NOT GOING TO CHANGE MY DECISION EITHER WAY BUT I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF THOSE LETTERS WERE COMING FROM THE ADJACENT

LANDOWNERS. >> YEAH. I BELIEVE ACCORDING TO THE MINUTES, THERE WAS CONCERN ABOUT THE DENSITY AND THE

PROPERTY VALUES. >> TO SOMEONE ELSE WANT TO GO OR DO Y'ALL WANT ME TO GO DOWN THE LIST? PATRICK. OKAY. BEAR WITH ME HERE. OKAY. SO I WANT TO START OUT BY SAYING I UNDERSTAND THIS PROPERTY IS COMPLICATED. THERE'S A LOT GOING ON. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST LAYOUT FOR THIS SITE WE HAVE SEEN. I UNDERSTAND THAT. I'M ALSO VERY SENSITIVE TO THE FACT THAT WE, YOU KNOW, WE ARE WORKING IN AN AREA THAT IS ALREADY, YOU KNOW, IT IS PART OF OLD TOWN AND IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT WE GET THIS RIGHT SO THAT WE ARE NOT CREATING FUTURE PROBLEMS. SO, THERE IS -- I BELIEVE IT'S IN THE ORDINANCE. THERE IS A LIST -- REQUESTED DEVIATIONS, AND, ONE, I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY, THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT -- HERE IT SAYS IT IS NOT REQUESTING DEVIATION BUT ON THE SITE PLAN, IT SAYS THAT IT'S ACTUALLY -- IT SAYS PROPOSED BUILDING HEIGHT IS A LITTLE OVER 46 FEET, WHICH IS A DEVIATION. EVEN THOUGH THIS TABLE IS NOT SAYING THAT THIS IS A DEVIATION. SO THERE'S THAT. WHEN I START DIGGING INTO THE LAYOUT, THERE'S ACTUALLY A LOT MORE DEVIATIONS TO THIS DESIGN AND WHAT IS IN THIS TABLE. AND THOSE ARE CONCERNING TO ME IN THE WORKSHOP. COUNCILMAN KATE BROUGHT UP THE FIRE ISSUE.

THAT'S AN EXTREME CONCERN OF MINE. I'M ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT

[00:45:04]

IT'S DISCOURAGING FOR THEM TO EVEN USE IT. THE ALLIE APPROACH IS ALSO NOT DESIGNED FOR OUR UDC STANDARDS. AND THEN THERE'S THE UTILITIES. SO WE'VE GOT THE UTILITIES. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE PUBLIC UTILITIES UNDER OR WITHIN AN ALLIE RIGHT AWAY. BUT I MEAN, MY STREET HAS BEEN UNDER CONSTRUCTION FOR THE LAST YEAR AND I CAN TELL YOU WHEN THEY ARE DIGGING UP UTILITIES TO PUT IN NEW ONES, BECAUSE THESE HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THEY DON'T LAST FOREVER. IT IS VERY UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL AND THAT IS WITH A, WHAT? 25 FOOT SETBACK TO MY HOUSE FROM THE STREET. I DON'T SEE HOW THEY ARE GOING TO GET IN THERE AND REPLACE THESE UTILITIES. EVER. BETWEEN LOTS 12 AND THREE AND 45 AND SIX. IS 24 FEET. THAT'S IT. THAT'S NOT ENOUGH ROOM. IT IS GOING TO BE -- IT'S GOING TO COMPLETELY BLOCK OFF ACCESS TO LOTS FOUR, FIVE, AND SIX. PERIOD. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET INTO THEIR HOUSE. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE OF THE GET IN WITH THE CAR AT ALL. I REALIZE THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT 40 OR 50 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD, BUT THAT IS MY POINT IS THAT THIS -- IF THIS GETS BUILT, THIS IS WHAT IT'S -- IS HERE. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE GET IT RIGHT AND WE ARE NOT CREATING A DISASTER THAT HAS TO BE DEALT WITH BY OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT, OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, OUR PUBLIC WORKS

[00:50:02]

YOU TAKE THAT OUT, I THINK THE REST OF THE PROJECT IS GREAT BUT I ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT WHEN WE ARE TALKING ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, OR WE ARE SHOWING, WE ARE PRESERVING ALL THESE TREES, THESE UTILITIES THAT ARE SHOWN HERE, TAKE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE OUT. SO, I MEAN, THEY'RE JUST WAY TOO CLOSE.

THERE'S NO WAY YOU'RE GOING TO PUT HIS UTILITIES IN AND KEEP THOSE TREES, SO, WE NEED TO BE REALISTIC ABOUT THAT AND UNDERSTAND THAT'S NOT -- THAT'S NOT ACTUALLY WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN HERE. EVEN IF THEY TRY TO SAVE THE TREES, THEY ARE GOING TO DIE. I THINK I'M GOING TO STOP THERE BECAUSE I THINK THAT WAS A WHOLE LOT, SO I'M GOING TO STOP THERE AND LET SOMEBODY ELSE TRY TO --'S BUT JUST A QUICK POINT. I MISSED ENTIRELY -- BUT THE -- THE TWO LETTER OPPOSITION IS RIGHT AFTER POINT NUMBER TWO ON ITEM DAY. SO THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME OF

THAT. I MISSED THAT ENTIRELY. >> WHAT IS THE DEMOGRAPHICS FOR

THAT AREA? DO WE KNOW? >> AS FAR AS THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD, OR PROJECTED HOMEBUYERS?

>> EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD. >> TO THE EAST ARE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED, MOSTLY SMALLER COTTAGES BUILT IN THE 1940S. 30S AND 40S. ON 7500 SQUARE FOOT LOTS. THERE ARE SOME -- A COUPLE BLOCKS AWAY, THERE HAS BEEN DEVELOPMENT OF SOME TOWNHOMES ON EDGE NOT STREET. IN CLOSE PROXIMATE A. THAT SOLD FAIRLY

QUICKLY. >> DO YOU KNOW THE AGE GROUP?

WHAT THE AGE GROUP IS? >> I DO NOT KNOW THE AGE GROUP.

>> DO WE KNOW WHAT THE PRICE POINT THEY ARE PROPOSING ON THIS

IS? >> THAT WOULD BE A QUESTION FOR THE DEVELOPER. HE WAS UNABLE TO BE HERE TONIGHT DUE TO ILLNESS.

HE ASKED -- HE ASKED THE COUNCIL TO, YOU KNOW, ASKED IF THERE WERE A LOT OF QUESTIONS. HE REQUESTED THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING BE -- TO THE NEXT MEETING SO HE COULD ADDRESS SOME

OF THE CONCERNS. >> FOR ME PERSONALLY, THAT IS NOT NECESSARY. THERE'S NOT ANYTHING THAT IS GOING TO BE OF THE SAY THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT LOT FOUR, FIVE, AND SIX. THAT'S JUST PERSONAL.

>> THE OTHER TOWNHOMES THAT ARE IN CLOSE PROXIMATE A TO THE WEST OF THIS, NONE OF THOSE WERE INTERIOR.

>> RIGHT. NO NEW SLOTS. >> THERE IN FRONT IN THE STREET.

>> THE WHOLE PROBLEM I THINK WITH THIS ARE THOSE SO-CALLED NEW SLOTS. ARE THOSE THREE. OTHERWISE, IN MY -- MY OPINION IS IT IS A GREAT PROJECT. MINUS THOSE THREE. IN MY OPINION, IT IS NOT DOABLE IN THE FIRST THREE. I'M NOT WILLING TO STICK BY SNOWING SOME OF THE ISSUES WE HAVE WITH SOME EXISTING PROPERTIES AND SOME OF THEM THAT WERE DONE HUNDRED 50 YEARS AGO.

IT IS LITERALLY A NIGHTMARE. WE DON'T LIVE IN A 1.5 CAR FAMILY ANYMORE. IF THEY HAVE CHILDREN, YOU ARE GOING TO ADD ADDITIONAL CARS ONTO THAT. PLUS I ALREADY MADE MY -- I'M NOT GONNA -- CONTINUED WHAT I SAID BACK THERE. IT IS ON TAPE ABOUT -- AS FAR AS FIRE APPARATUS IF SOMETHING MAJOR GOES ON. I JUST HAVE A REAL CONCERN ABOUT THAT. I THINK AT THE BEGINNING OF THESE PROJECTS, WE HAVE A CHANCE TO DO IT RIGHT. AND WE NEED TO DO THAT. WE DON'T NEED TO REPEAT SOME MISTAKES THAT HAVE BEEN DONE IN THE PAST, LIKE IN THE PAST PAST. AND I GOT A FEELING TRYING TO MAKE THIS AS TIGHT AS IT IS, THOSE THREE, LIKE I SAID, HAVE GIVEN ME MAJOR HEARTBURN, AND I'M NOT

BUDGETING FROM THAT. >> SO I WOULD LIKE TO -- I'M

[00:55:06]

THERE'S NOT A PRESSING NEED TO GET THIS OUT TODAY BUT THAT'S THE MOTION I WOULD WANT TO MAKE WHEN IT COMES TO THAT.

>> ANY OTHER COMMENT ON THAT? >> CAN WE ALSO GET THE HEIGHT

CLARIFIED, TOO? >> WE CAN CLARIFY THAT HEIGHT. I THINK THAT IS A MISTAKE ON THE ILLUSTRATION. THE TEXT IS THAT PD AND STANDARDS. 45 WOULD BE THE LIMIT.

>> OKAY. WELL, THEY NEED TO -- THE EXHIBIT IS ALSO PART OF THAT ORDINANCE. SO THOSE ARE BOTH --

>> RIGHT. BUT USUALLY, IN THE PD, THE TEXT SUPERSEDES THE ILLUSTRATIONS, BUT WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT THAT IS CORRECTED.

>> MAYOR, BUT WITH THAT, I JUST WANT TO -- I WOULD JUST LIKE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND FOR RICHARD AND THE TEAM TO RESPOND TO SOME OF THE COMMENTS, WHETHER HE CHANGES MINDS ARE NOT. TO ME, I JUST WANT TO MAKE CLEAR FOR THE RECORD THAT OUR TEAM TAKES SAFETY VERY SERIOUSLY. I KNOW THAT'S NOT YOUR INTENT IN SAYING THAT. THAT STAFF ISN'T LOOKING AT THAT. WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT. BUT I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE DONNING OUR EYES AND CROSSING OUR TEAS.

>> STAFF, ANY OTHER COMMENTS? COUNCIL? I WILL ENTERTAIN A

MOTION. >> YOU TAKE ANY OF THIS TO THE

NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. >>

>> WHAT IS THE DATE ON THAT? ] GENERATE 26TH. WE HAVE MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY. TO CONTINUE TO
