SO, UM, MR. BERNARD IS A FARMER WHO STARTED KEEPING IT AS A FAMILY.
SO HOPEFULLY YOU WON'T HOLD THEM.
[7. Strategic Development Plan for the San Antonio International Airport - Tom Bartlett, Aviation Deputy Director for the San Antonio Airport System (SAAS).]
IS A STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR SAN ANTONIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF SERVING ON THE AIRPORT ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
I'VE COME TO KNOW TOM, AND, UH, THE PAST FEW YEARS, MANY OF YOU PROCESS THE AIRPORT HAS GONE THROUGH WITH THEIR LONG-TERM STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN.
SO I THOUGHT FOR MANY OF YOUR INTERESTS, IT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL, UH, TO SEE WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND THE DIRECTION WE'RE GOING.
UH, I'M, I'M REALLY PLEASED TO HAVE TOM HERE.
I'VE COME TO KNOW HIM THROUGH MY TERM ON THE BOARD, BUT HE HAS OVER 30 YEARS EXPERIENCE IN THE AIRPORT INDUSTRY.
[00:05:01]
IT CAME JUST A FEW YEARS AGO FROM HOUSTON AND HOUSTON.HE WAS THE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER FOR NEARLY EIGHT YEARS.
SO COMES TO US FROM A MUCH LARGER SYSTEM WITH A REALLY ROBUST BACKGROUND.
SO WE HAVE CERTAINLY BENEFITED FROM THAT AT THE AIRPORT.
AND I THINK Y'ALL ARE IN COUNTRY.
AND I JUST HAVE TO SAY BEFORE HE STARTS AT, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE'RE INCREMENTALLY GETTING OUR BUILDING PUT TOGETHER THE FURNITURE AISLE HERE.
SO IF WE HAVE A CHOICE OF WATCHING THE BIG SCREEN, OR IF YOU'RE HERE, YOU CAN SEE THE MONITOR.
SO WE'RE, WE'RE GETTING THERE.
SO WITH THAT, MR. CHAIRMAN, ALTERNATIVE FACTS, YOU ARE WELCOME, SIR.
THE GERMAN BEING PROUD TO BE HERE AGAIN, TOM BARTLETT, AIRPORT INPUT THE DEPARTMENT OVER JUST OVER FOUR YEARS AND ACTUALLY GOT, UH, AS A STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN STARTED, IT DID TAKE A LITTLE LONGER TO DO THE NORMAL THREE AND A HALF FOUR YEAR PROCESS BECAUSE COVID, WE DIDN'T HAVE TO STOP IT.
SO WE WERE ABLE TO COMPLETE IT APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL BACK IN THE END OF LAST YEAR.
SO WE'RE EXCITED TO START ROLLING THIS PROGRAM OUT.
AS YOU KNOW, UH, SAN ANTONIO AIRPORT IS A GATEWAY TO THE WORLD AND PEOPLE COMING IN, UH, FROM THE CITY FIRST IMPRESSION LAST IMPRESSION, AND HAS BEEN SINCE ANTONIO WAS YOUR AIRPORT, WE PROVIDE A LASTING IMPRESSION VIA ENABLED BUSINESS TOURISM AND HAVE ABOUT A $5 BILLION ANNUAL ECONOMIC IMPACT IN SUPPORTING, UM, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FOLKS THAT WE'RE BROADCASTING TO CAN HEAR YOU.
COULD YOU BRING THE MICROPHONE JUST A LITTLE BIT CLOSER? THERE WE GO.
HOW'S THAT? VERY GOOD THING AND A SUPPORTS OVER 45,000 JOBS, UH, AIRPORT, UH, BUSINESS.
AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST, UH, WE HAD SOME REAL PASSENGER AND TRAFFIC CONGESTION AS USED PASSENGER NUMBERS, BUT, UH, THIS WILL HELP, UH, INCREASE THE FACILITY.
AND ALSO WE HAVE SOME AGING FACILITIES PRIMARILY TERMINALLY.
UM, YOU PROBABLY HAVE TO SAY SLIDE.
I WILL TELL YOU ALL AS PART OF OUR GETTING ACCUSTOMED TO THIS ROOM, WE'VE LEARNED THAT WE HAVE OUR SCREEN, WE HAVE OUR SPEAKERS TABLE AND THAT'S ALL WORKING, EXCEPT WE LEARNED THAT WE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH QUICKER BECAUSE COMPUTER BROADCAST FROM IS BEHIND YOU.
SO WE HAVE NOT WORKED OUT THAT SOLUTION YET.
SHOULD WE JUST SAY SLIDE? SHE'LL BE OKAY.
THIS JUST SHOWS WHAT THE REGION AND THE PORT GROWTH HAS BEEN.
UH, WE SHOWING THAT NUMBER HASSLES THE JOBS AND THE POPULATION YOU CAN SEE IT'S QUITE A STEADY GROWTH IS THIS.
EVERYBODY WILL NOTICE ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE, WE'RE SHOWING OUR PASSENGER GROWTH AND UP THROUGH 2019 AND REBUILT, WE HAD QUITE A TREMENDOUS GROWTH PERIOD, OBVIOUSLY 20, 20 AND 21.
WE SLIPPED OFF, BUT I DO HAVE A UPDATE ON THE 2021 CALENDAR YEAR WE WERE PROJECTING IS BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR, JUST OVER 6 MILLION TOTAL PASSENGERS, WE JUST GOT SOME CULINARY NUMBERS.
NOW WE'RE 7.5 A 7.5 MILLION TOTAL PASSENGERS.
SO THAT'S WHY WE WERE ACTUALLY YESTERDAY, WHICH IS GOOD OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, THE SAN ANTONIO AIRPORT HAS BEEN AHEAD OF THE NATIONAL PACE OF MEDIUMS OF AIRPORTS.
SO WE'VE BEEN REALLY ROBUST AND HAVE BEEN SUSTAINING THAT, THAT FIGURE.
YOU CAN JUST SEE BY 25 ON FINGERS, WE ARE DOING VERY WELL.
BUT WE'RE NOT WAITING TO GET STARTED ON A STRATEGIC PLAN.
WE HAVE SOME KIND OF ENABLING PROJECTS WE'RE ALREADY STARTING ON.
MATTER OF FACT, WE'RE READY TO, TO GET A, UH, UH, CONSTRUCTION, UH, PROCEED WITH CONSTRUCTION ON PROJECT AND IS WILLING TO ADD THREE ADDITIONAL NEW GATES IN TERMINAL A AND B ONE, A TURN LIGHT AND TWO, A TRIPLE BEAM.
AND I SAY EIGHT SAYS THE PASSENGER LOADING AREA WHERE YOU HAVE TO , UH, WHICH BY THE END OF THIS YEAR.
SO THEY'LL BE UP AND RUNNING AND ACTIVE AND INCREASE THROUGHPUT THROUGH PASSENGER, UH, CHECKPOINTS AS THE TSA SECURITY CHECK LINES, WE HAVE SEVEN LANES IN THE TERMINAL AND WE JUST ADDED THE SEVENTH LANE RIGHT ABOUT A YEAR, YEAR AND A HALF AGO.
WE'RE JUST STARTING A PROJECT.
IT WE'LL ADD ONE MORE LANE IN TERMINAL GRADE B TO BRING IT UP TO FIVE, BUT IT'S JUST NOT.
[00:10:01]
INFRASTRUCTURE IS INCREASING.WE WERE ABLE TO THROUGH TSA, GET CANINE D WE HAVE A 14 COMING.
I BELIEVE WE HAD TWO TEAMS, UH, ALREADY, UH, ONSITE, UH, GSA OPENED UP.
AND WHEN I SAY TEAM IT'S A DOG AND A HANDLER.
AND, UH, YOU KNOW, IT COMES WITH THE FOUR TEAMS. WE HAD ONE AT HAMAN RELOCATED FROM NEW ORLEANS, AND WE HAD A LOT OF, UH, VERY COMPLICATED FROM JFK TO NORTON AND QUITE IRONICALLY DOG'S NAME COMING IN FROM JFK TEXTS.
IF YOU DON'T ALL KNOW ALL THE K9 DOGS FOR TSA, AND EVEN FOR DOD DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, WE'RE ALL TRAINED HERE IN SAN ANTONIO WITH THAT.
SO A LOT OF TIMES SHE SCHOLARSHIPS AT HOME COMING THROUGH THEM AS WELL.
SO THAT STARTED, AND THEY JUST RECERTIFYING THOSE TWO TEAMS THIS WEEK.
AND WHAT THEY'LL DO IS YOU'LL SEE, YOU'LL SEE THEM WORKING.
IF YOU FLY OUT, YOU'LL BE GOING THROUGH THE CHECKPOINT UP TO THE CHECKPOINT AND YOU KNOW, WHERE YOU HAVE A CERTAIN TEAM IT'S GOING TO BE A WHITE STRAIGHT LINE.
AND THE DOG WILL JUST KIND OF, UH, INTERTWINED BETWEEN YOU AND ASK, UH, PASSENGERS THAT I KNEW.
AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS AUGUST IS ACTUALLY SNIFFING FOR INITIALS ON, ON YOUR POSSESSION AND UNDERLINED.
SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT JUST MAKES THINGS GO A LOT FASTER IF THE DOG IS NOT ON THEIR SCREEN.
AND THEN WHEN YOU GO THROUGH THE GSA AND THE HUMAN INTERACTION IS A LOT FASTER.
WE USE THAT DURING THE MEN'S FINAL FOUR, A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, IT WAS TREMENDOUSLY SUCCESSFUL AND WE HAVE FOUR TEAMS AIRFIELD.
WE'RE DOING SOME, UH, AIRFIELD PAVEMENT WORK, JUST KEEPING THE INTERVIEW, UH, FOLLOWER.
AND, UH, UH, THAT'S ALREADY UNDERWAY SOME, SOME PAVEMENT WORK NEWBIES SESSIONS.
YOU SEE ON THE SIDE, WE'D SAY PROBABLY LATE SPRING, MAYBE MORE LIKE MAY, JUNE TIMEFRAME, WHATABURGER TERMINALLY.
WELL, WE'RE ALSO WORKING ON SOME OTHER SESSIONS, EXPAND LACK OF OPEC CAPACITY.
THAT'S MORE FOR INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT.
UH, , UH, TERMINALS NEED TO BE UPGRADED.
BASICALLY THE MASTERMIND WAS BROKEN DOWN TO THE FEDERAL AIRFIELD AND ROADWAYS, AND IT'S MISCELLANEOUS.
WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS WE'LL TAKE THE, UH, CORRECT.
RUNWAY IS 8,500 FEET EXTENDED TO 10,000 FEET.
THAT GIVES US A LITTLE BIT MORE DISTANCE TO COVER FOR INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS LONGER HAUL.
WHEN YOU SAY TO EUROPE, WE CAN MAKE IT TO YOUR QUESTION MIRROR.
NOW WE NEED YOU TO REFER TO YOUR, AND THEN ENDS IN MORE SEMINAR AS WELL.
SO WE'RE, WE'RE GOING TO EXPAND THE RUNWAY, LIKE, HANG ON ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PICTURE WHERE YOU SEE SAFETY ENHANCEMENTS, THOSE TWO RUNWAYS INTERSECT.
WE CALL THEM OR TO DECOUPLE, JUST GET THOSE TWO RUNWAYS SEPARATED IN.
WE NEED TO REDUCE FURTHER SAFETY ASSESSMENTS ON, ON THAT INTERSECTION THERE AS WELL.
SO THAT'S, AS LONG AS YOU EXTEND TO THE AIRFIELD IN YOUR FUTURE WILL BE THAT EXTENSION PRESENT AS A FEED IS A BIG COMMERCIAL.
SO I MENTIONED THE ROADWAY SYSTEM AS YOU COME INTO THE AIRPORT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, THERE'S A COUPLE OF, UH, STOPLIGHTS AND KIND OF HELP OUT ON TRAFFIC.
IT'S LEAVING THE AIRPORT AND AN INTERVIEW INTERSECTION WITH INBOUND TRAFFIC.
SO THAT'S ALL GONNA BE CORRECTED BECAUSE YOU HAVE A ROUND ABOUT THERE.
AND THEN ALSO ON A MORE WHITE, IF YOU SEE, UH, ON THERE, WE'RE GOING TO STRAIGHTEN THIS OUT A LITTLE BIT MORE.
WHO'D COME INTO THE TERMINAL, YOU KNOW, IS QUITE A SHORT DISTANCE TO MAKE A DECISION.
DO I GO TO PARKING? BUT WE GO TO UPPER LEVEL.
SO WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS THIS IS STRAIGHTENED NOW SOMEWHAT.
AND THEN IF YOU TAKE THAT FLY OVER INTO THAT ELEVATED BRIDGE INTO THE AIRPORT, WE'LL ADD A SHORT AND HERE, DROP IT DOWN A LITTLE BIT SOONER.
SO THEN YOU HAVE MORE TIME FOR DECISION POINT.
SO THAT'S WHAT OUR ROADWAY SYSTEM WILL LOOK LIKE.
AND IT'LL JUST TOTALLY ENHANCE THE INGRESS AND EGRESS IN YOUR BUNKER.
THE TERMINAL COMPLEX WILL HAVE A REALLY A HUGE, HUGE, UH, UH, REVAMPING, AS YOU CAN SEE, WE SET A NEW TERMINAL, A FORCE, A, WHICH IS, UH, THE CENTRAL PROCESSOR WILL BE THE INTERESTING PARTS.
YOU SEE, UH, MOST OF THE TERMINAL BEACH, REALLY NOT THERE ANYMORE.
THAT ANGER IS A LOT OF THOSE CENTRAL PROCESS.
SO YOU COME TO THE AIRPORT, WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO A, OR THE B HAD TO CHECK IN AND THEN MOVE THROUGH SEPARATE CHECKPOINT.
WE WILL CONSOLIDATE ALL THE TICKETING COUNTERS IN ONE AREA, AND THEN ALSO THE CENTRAL PROCESSORS AS MUCH WHERE THE TSA CHECKPOINT.
SO YOU HAD ONE CHECKPOINT, YOU CAN GO LEFT OR RIGHT
[00:15:01]
TO TERMINAL EIGHT OR INTO THE COURSE, UH, WHERE CENTRAL PROCESSORS WERE D WAS, OR GOING AFTER CONCOURSE C TERMINAL SEAT.YOU CAN SEE, UH, THAT CONCOURSE SEES OR LAYER.
SO IF WE NEED TO ADD ALL THE GATES, WE CAN ADD UP, IF NOT, IT HAD FIVE, SIX THAT ARE INCREMENTAL BASED ON DEMAND, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING THERE.
SO IT WILL BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE OR NEAR DEPENDED OF THE PROJECT OR PROGRAM OVERLAY WHO WAS SEXUALLY ABUSED PART DOWN AND REBUILT INTO A NEW CONCOURSES, 36, 4 YEAR OLD FACILITY.
IT JUST NEEDS TO FURTHER ENHANCE TRAVEL OUT OF THAT.
IT DOESN'T MEAN AS MUCH WHAT THE STANDARDS ARE WITH THE SIZE OF AIRCRAFT.
SO NORMALLY THAT WILL BE A PRIMARY TO THAT CANDIDATE.
WE'VE GOT TO BUILD SOME OBLIGATION TO DISCLOSE THOSE INTERNALLY.
UH, MOST IMPORTANTLY, YOU KNOW, IS TO KNOW THE CITY OR VOLVO TAX DOLLARS.
IT'S ALL BASED ON USER FEE OR RIGHTS AND CHARGES OF WE CHARGE TO THE TENANTS.
AND THEN WE GET VARIOUS FUNDING FROM THE FAA.
PSA IS A PASSENGER FACILITY CHARGE.
YOU'LL SEE, ON YOUR TICKET, THERE'S ANY CHARGE FOR USE OF THE CERTAIN ANGLES BACK TO SUPPORTING THE ART, UH, IMPROVEMENTS, BREASTS, AIRLINES, PAY RISE FEES, THEY PAY LANDING FEES, THEY PAY A FEE.
AND THEN ALSO THERE COULD BE SOME SUPPORT FROM EXTERNAL TAX AND LOOKING AT NOW, SOME SIMPLE, NATURAL, THESE INFRASTRUCTURE, BONDS AND GRANTS ARE COMING OUT.
UM, THERE'S SOME OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO TAP INTO SOME OF THAT FINANCIAL RESOURCE AND IT WILL BILL PROGRAMS, AS THEY'RE NOT JUST GOING TO BUILD SOMETHING OR SIMPLY BUILDING IT AND NOT USE IT.
SO RIGHT NOW, WHAT WE'RE STARTING IS SOME ADVANCED TERMINAL PLANNING SERVICES.
WE'VE ALREADY SOLICITED, UH, FOR A CONSULTANT TO COME IN AND HELP US WITH THIS WHOLE PROGRAM.
AGAIN, STAGNATION IS IT'S A TABLE EFFORT.
UH, WE JUST HAD A MEETING YESTERDAY TO START OUR PRELIMINARY REVIEW OF THE SUBMITTALS OF THIS TERMINAL TYPE SERVICES.
SO WE'LL HAVE TO GO THROUGH AND WE'LL DO THE SOLICITATION, OR WE'VE DONE SOLICITATION THROUGH THE REVIEW OR RECOMMENDATION WITH SOMETHING.
AND WE TAKE THAT TO THE CITY COUNCIL.
WE'RE LOOKING TO TRY AND GET THIS UNDERWAY IN PLACE BY THE MAIN CONFERENCE, BECAUSE WE, WE NEED TO START GETTING THIS TERM DEVELOPED.
AND WHAT IT'LL DO IS IT'LL SHOW AGAIN, ASSESSOR FACING FINANCIAL ABUSE, ANY ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS, BUT IT'S JUST A HELP US KNOWING WHAT WE NEED TO DO.
AND THIS IS INCORPORATE ENABLING PROJECTS.
WE BUILD A PARKING GARAGE, WE NEED TO DO SOME REMOTELY.
SO THEY WILL, THIS RESULT WILL HELP US IDENTIFY ELEVATIONS.
AND HOW DO YOU GET THIS EXECUTED IN A VERY TIMELY MANNER? THERE ARE EXPERTS THAT DO THIS, I'VE DONE IT, MANY OTHER PLACES AND OTHER REPORTS I'M FAMILIAR WITH .
SO WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THIS PROGRAM WORK AND ASK WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.
TODAY WE'VE COMPLETED THE MASTER PLAN.
WE'RE STARTING TO PROGRAM DEFINITION, AS I JUST MENTIONED THAT TERMINAL SERVICES, AND WE'RE STILL WORKING ON FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY, BUT WE CAN BUILD IT, BUT WE CAN'T AFFORD AND HOW AND WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM, AND THEN SAY GOAL OR COORDINATION, LAST SUPPORT NATION, FAA, OR TRAFFIC, BUT WE'VE HAD TO COORDINATE WITH THE AIRLINES SESSIONS, EVERYBODY.
AND EVEN AS MUCH THE COMMUNITY IS HOW DO WE PULL THIS OFF IN UNIT? SO WE'VE GOT A LOT TO DO, BUT WE'RE HOPING SHOVELS IN THE GROUND AND MAYBE 18.
SO IT'S FULL STEAM AHEAD, FULL THROTTLE.
SO WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT HAPPEN.
AND, UH, YOU'LL BE VERY PROUD OF THIS FACILITY WHEN IT STARTED ONCE COMPLETED.
UH, WE GOT ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM MR. BARTLETT.
IS THERE A RESEARCH BEHIND PUTTING EVERYTHING INTO ONE CENTRAL PROCESSING OR IS THAT JUST DESIGNED FOR THAT? IT'S, UH, I THINK IT'S MORE, UH, THE ABILITY TO PROCESS PEOPLE FASTER, BUT IT HAS A CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN ALL THREE CONFERENCES.
SO IT'S MORE, UH, EFFICIENCY BASIS AS WELL.
YOU'VE GOT ALL TICKETED TOGETHER.
PASSENGERS CAN COME INTO THE TERMINAL, ONE LOCATION, GET
[00:20:01]
THEIR TICKETS, CHECK HER BAGGAGE, AND THEN GO THROUGH ONE CHECK WITH TSA AND IT MUST BE ON THERE.YOU CAN CONNECT TO ALL THREE COURSES RIGHT NOW, IF YOU HAD A SEPARATE WITHOUT A CONNECTING COURSEWORK, WHICH YOU COULD DO, BUT, UH, IT'S JUST, IT MAKES PRACTICAL SENSE TO DO IT CENTRALIZED.
I WAS JUST WONDERING, UH, THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT PRESENTATION.
I APPRECIATE YOU AND DIANE BRINGING IT TO US.
UH, IN TERMS OF THIS INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS, OBVIOUSLY WE HAD SOME SETBACKS WITH COVID AND MAY HAVE, YOU MAY HAVE HAD AT THE AIRPORTS AND PARTNERSHIPS THAT BEGAN TO FIZZLE.
CAN YOU TALK TO US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME OF THE TARGETS GOING FORWARD WITH STANZA COPA? I KNOW WE WERE IN THE RUNNING FOR A DELTA, UH, HUB AT ONE POINT, BUT THAT MAY, THAT MAY HAVE PASSED BECAUSE IT WAS HAVING RIGHT IN 2019, I THINK, YES, WE, WE SET UP A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF TIME WITH THE AIRLINES, UH, VISITING WITH THEM IN THEIR HEADQUARTERS COMING HERE.
WE HAD A YEAR SERVICE MANAGER, YOU SAID A TEAM, TWO PEOPLE.
AND SO, UH, UH, ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL THAT ARE OUT, UH, AND, UH, ON THE DOORS OF AIRLINES AND IN THE MIDDLE OF FEBRUARY, WE HAVE A, UH, ROUTES TWENTY-FIVE TO WHERE I THINK WE'RE EXPECTING ABOUT 50, 60 AIRLINES TO COME TO SAN ANTONIO, ALONG WITH A HANDFUL OF AIRPORTS WHERE THEY GET TO, UH, TITLE TO HAVE THEIR GOODS.
UH, WE HAD AN ADVANTAGE WE HAVE HERE 10 TONIO.
SO WE'RE SHOWING OFF TO A LOT OF THE SAME TIME AS THE OFFER, AS IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT STARTS ON 14 THROUGH 16.
SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE YOUR AIRLINES HERE, BUT AGAIN, WE SET THEM OFF A LOT OF TIME.
WE'VE HAD A GREAT REBOUND WITH, UH, THE TRAFFIC COMING FROM MEXICO INTERNATIONALLY.
UH, WE HAVE, UH, VIVA VARIABLES.
THIS HAS REALLY EXPANDED A LOT AND A GOOD RELATIONSHIP HERE.
IF YOU SAW ON FRIDAY, IF YOU SAW THAT THEY HAD A TEAMING EFFORT WITH THE FIRST THE END, UH, ACTUALLY THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE AN AIRPLANE WITH A LIBERATED SERVE SOMEWHERE, HER TREMENDOUS PARTNERSHIP, THIS, BUT ALSO THAT HELPS ENHANCE THE PARTNERSHIPS.
IS IT A QUICK FOLLOW-UP IN TERMS OF THE PANDEMIC PLANNING GOING FORWARD, UM, HAS THE AIRPORT CHANGED ANY POLICIES OR THE CITY COUNCIL WITH RESPECT TO, UH, AIR TRAVEL WHEN WE'RE DEALING WITH PANDEMICS? I KNOW, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE'S BEEN A NUMBER OF COUNTRIES THAT, UH, HAD THEIR, THEIR AIRPORTS AND THEIR PORTS REALLY, YOU KNOW, CLOSE UP AND TIGHTEN UP, UM, JUST IN TERMS OF EQUIPMENT THAT YOU HAVE IN TERMS OF TESTING AND JUST, HOW HAVE YOU CHANGED OPERATION? GREAT QUESTION.
YEAH, WE MADE A LOT OF CHANGES.
NOW WE'RE FOLLOWING A LOT OF FEDERAL GUIDELINES.
AS YOU BOTH KNOW, THE GOVERNMENT IS REQUIRING ERIK AIRCRAFT AND AIRLINES.
THEY ALSO REQUIRED US TO BE WORN IN THE TERMINAL FACILITY ITSELF.
SO, AND THAT'S BEING HERE TO BURT, UH, VERY WELL.
WE HAD THESE HAND SANITIZER LOCATIONS ALL OVER 200 THROUGHOUT THE TERMINAL.
SO ANYWHERE YOU TURN, THERE'S A HAND SANITIZER.
WE ALSO HAVE, UH, A PROGRAM WHERE WE CAN, UH, SEND US AS A SOMEWHAT OF A ROBOT THAT GOES OUT AND SAPS SOME UVC LIGHT ON ANYTHING.
SO WE KNEW THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE TO START CLEANING.
AND, UH, WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE IMPLEMENTING A CASTLE GROUP.
THIS SEVERAL COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO WAS WE'RE GOING TO START RESTAURANTS WHERE IT IS MONITORED.
HOW MANY PEOPLE IN THIS RESTROOM? SO WE SET SAY AFTER 20 OR 30 PEOPLE, WE GO IN AND CLEAN IT.
IT'S NOT THAT WE JUST WERE WINNING EVERY HOUR ON THE HOUR TO CLEAN.
WE WILL CLEAN RESTROOMS AND THOROUGHLY THAT'S SCHEDULED BASIS OF WHAT YOU OFFER RAPID TESTS.
THEY'RE A MATTER OF FACT, THANKS FOR ASKING.
WE'RE WORKING WITH A VENDOR RIGHT NOW.
UH, WE IDENTIFIED A PLACE FOR WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO BE OVER THE NEXT WEEK.
TWO WEEKS, WE'LL BE UP TO DO TESTS AND TESTING.
WE SAW ALSO SINCE THE END OF JUNE, WE HAD VACCINES OFFER CLIENT.
WE'VE COME CLOSE TO SINCE THE END OF JUNE, UH, RELIGIOUS DUBAI, IT'S DRY TO A YEAR.
WE HAD OVER 19,000 VACCINATIONS ADMINISTERED, AND THAT'S PRIMARILY, UH, AIRPORT EMPLOYEES, WHETHER IT'S OUR CITY EMPLOYEES, THOSE TENANTS, BUT AS MUCH THE TRAVELERS AND, UH, THERE'S TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF INTERNATIONAL.
I MEAN, IT'S RIGHT OUTSIDE, IT'S RIGHT OUTSIDE OF THE CUSTOMER SUCCESS.
AND THAT'S GONNA CONTINUE THROUGH PROBABLY MARCH, IF NOT, UM,
[00:25:01]
IF ADMISSION HAS ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER, BUT YOUR GROUPS OR ORGANIZATIONS OR CITIES OR TOWNS WANT THIS TO BE PRESENTED ANYTIME.WE FEEL IT'S A VERY GOOD STORY.
AND WE MIGHT SHARE IT WITH AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE.
SO DEPARTMENT AND COORDINATE WITH DIANE.
I DO HAVE A QUESTION, UM, NOISE ABATEMENT, AS IT RELATES TO THE BIGGER AIRPLANES, IF YOU'VE GOT A LONGER RUNWAY, BIGGER AIRPLANES.
SO HAS THAT BEEN A TOPIC OF PLANNING OR JUST, YEAH.
THAT THAT'S TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION BOTH IN THE MASTERMIND AND WE DID IT, UH, UH, JUST AS VOICE ASSESSMENT FOR GROWTH.
WE DO THAT EVERY FIVE YEARS, BUT WHAT'S GOOD AS ALWAYS IS A LOT OF THE TECHNOLOGY ON THESE AIRCRAFT ENGINES, NEWER JANUARY SHARE GRAPH, THEY'RE SUBSTANTIALLY QUIETER.
UH, AND ACTUALLY OVER THE, LOOKING AT THE FUTURE FIVE YEARS, THE, UH, WHAT WE CALL IT ALWAYS CONCOURSE, BUT THEY DIDN'T REALLY GROW MUCH AT ALL.
SO THEY'RE SUSTAINING WHERE THEY ARE RIGHT NOW.
UH, NO, THERE'S, THERE'S REALLY, WE'RE NOT JUST SPEAKING BACK INITIALLY.
UH, SAN ANTONIO WAS NOT ON THE .
THEY EXTENDED IT TO 88 AIRPORTS AND I'M THINKING IF YOU WANT TO GET INTO SOME TECHNOLOGY, I THINK IT IS BECAUSE WE HAVE A CATEGORY APPROACH, WHICH BREAKS DOWN A LITTLE BIT.
I THINK THEY JUST MADE SURE THEY INCLUDED ALL AIRPORTS, PROBABLY CAT TOO.
MATTER OF FACT, JUST YESTERDAY EVENING, I WAS JUST DOING SOME EVALUATION, UH, WHERE THERE'S AN IMPACT AND WE HAVE VERIFIED OR VALIDATED YOUR SACRUM ANTENNA, WHERE IT IS.
AND, UH, JUST KEEP IN MIND THAT A DECISION THAT ALLOWS OPERATIONS TO CONTINUE IF THERE'S ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BEING TOTALLY ON SITE, IT REALLY ISN'T WHERE IT'S GOING IN EQUITY, THE LAST 20 SECONDS OF A FLIGHT, AN APPROACH, SHOULD YOU CALL THAT BUFFER ZONE? AND, UH, I THINK DO IT WITH CONFIDENCE.
WE'RE NOT WILLING TO BE IMPACTED.
LUCKILY SHE HAD OVER, MAYBE THERE ARE A LOT OF, UH, RARELY NAVIGATED TO THAT TEMPORARY.
MR. CHAIRMAN, UH, BEING MILITARY CITY USA, AND I'M A VETERAN MYSELF, I KNOW THE PARKING, THE PARKING, UH, USED TO INCLUDE AND PROBABLY STILL DOES MILITARY, UH, DISABLED VETERANS AND MILITARY WERE ABLE TO PARK FREE.
CAUSE I WAS GOING TO GO FORWARD WITH THIS NEW TRENDS AS WELL.
OH, THAT'S BEING EVALUATED AS MUCH.
UM, WE JUST LOOKING AT WHAT OUR RESIDENTS ARE AND WE'LL BE, WE FULLY RESPECT AND UNDERSTAND THEIR SERVICE MILITARY CITY USA SERVICES.
I'M SORRY, JUST ONE QUICK QUESTION WITH US BEING, UH, THIS BOARD BEING AIR QUALITY, CONSCIOUS AND RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT.
HOW IS THAT IN DIANE? KIND OF MAYBE TO HELP ME WITH THIS, HOW IS THIS GOING TO PLAY INTO THAT PART FOR THE AIR QUALITY PIECE? YEAH, IT'S, IT'S PLAYING IT OR ALREADY BEEN AGGRESSIVE.
UH, YOU TEAMED UP WITH THE AIRLINES AND YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR, AND IF YOU WILL LET THEM BUY LITTLE GRAM SERVICES, EQUIPMENT, AND WE PUT IN THE ELECTRIC STATIONS, CHARGING STATIONS ON YOUR APPEAL.
SO THEIR ADVICE IN YOUR MINDS ARE MIGRATE AND WE'LL CONTINUE THAT.
AND ALSO WE'RE LOOKING AT ENHANCING AND BARBARA, WHEN WE WERE SAYING, WHEN SOMEBODY ELECTRICALS ENHANCEMENTS AND ADDITIONAL CHARGING STATIONS THROUGH ARGUING RUSH, YOU HAVE SET NUMBER NOW, RIGHT? OUR AGENCIES ARE LOOKING AT MORE OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES.
SO WHEN WE USE, UH, OUR VEHICLE FLEET, WE, WE TRANSITIONED OVER TO A FEW VEHICLES THAT ARE ELECTRIFIED, BUT THAT'S GOING TO EMPOWER.
SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO IGNORE IT OR SAY, SAY, SAY DIVORCE WOULD BE AGGRESSIVE.

DIRECTOR, DIANE WRATH WILL GIVE US OUR MONTHLY REPORT.GOOD MORNING, MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS.
AS YOU CAN SEE, WE CONTINUE TO MAKE INCREMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS TO THE BUILDING.
KELLY STARTED WITH DESK AND A SENIOR DIRECTOR
[00:30:01]
OF JANUARY TAN, AND I HAVE A FEW ANNOUNCEMENTS TO MAKE IT BETTER.ARE POST PRESIDENT OF SANCTIONS DEPARTMENT ASSOCIATION FOR FINANCIAL PROFESSIONALS FOR THIS YEAR.
AND THEN TOM LOGAN, OUR DIRECTOR OF TRANSPORTATION BEEN RECOGNIZE THE SERVICE ASSOCIATIONS AND, UH, WE, WE ORGANIZATION COMING TO THE COUNTY AND MOST TO DIRECTOR OF ACCOUNTING AND WATCH WARS HAS BEEN, I'M SORRY, JOSH, WHEREAS HAS BEEN PROMOTED TO BUDGET OFFICER AUDITOR, REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
SO HE HAS A COUPLE OF OTHER DEPARTMENTS UNDER HIS, UH, SPHERE OF RESPONSIBILITY.
YEAH, WELL, I THINK I HAVE THERE ARMSTRONG.
SHE DOES A PRESENTATION LAST MONTH AT A MANDATORY TRAINING, HOSTED BY HHSC, WHERE THERE WAS MENTALLY ALMOST 120 OFFICES AROUND STAGE A WAS A SPEAKER TWO THAT WERE VERY EXCITED THAT BOOSTED.
AND WE STARTED, I USED TO CALL IT WORD SHOVELING.
I CAN REMEMBER THAT NAME REALLY ME.
IT'S NOW ALL OF A SOLDIER RECOVERY UNIT.
UH, SO WE ARE THE SHUTTLE SERVICE AT FORT ST.
IT'S GONE VERY, VERY WELL, AND WE'RE REALLY EXCITED.
THAT'S ONE MORE COLLABORATION AND PARTNERSHIP AFTER OUR GSA.
AND WE THINK IT'S REALLY MOVING FORWARD IN A STRONG FASHION.
YOU WILL NOTICE THAT SIDE THAT ALL OF OUR FURTHER FITZY IS COMPLETE.
AND THE CANOPY OVER AT MY PLAZA HAS BEEN FINALIZED ALSO.
UM, EXTERNAL AFFAIRS HAS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT AS EVERYONE IS AWARE WE HAD TO POSTPONE OUR WORK.
SHOULD WE BEAR COUNTY, UH, DO HAVE A SPIKE IN, UH COVID.
SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO RESCHEDULING THAT WE'RE PARTNERING WITH THE SAN ANTONIO FOOD BANK ON A VERY INTERESTING COLLABORATION TO CREATE WORKING GROUPS IN WISCONSIN, WILSON AND PESCO.
SO IT'S A PILOT PROGRAM WHERE THE COMMUNITY LEADERS WILL BE GATHERING TO REALLY DISCUSS THE NEEDS OF THAT COUNTY RELATED WITH INSECURE TRANSPORTATION, HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, AND REALLY HELP COME TOGETHER TO IDENTIFY NEEDS.
APPARENTLY THIS WAS DONE A FEW DECADES AGO.
SO WE'LL BE PARTNERING WITH THESE, THE BIG BANG ON THAT INITIATIVE.
I D D HAS BEEN THAT THERE'S THIS YEAR, HE HAS SOME DONATIONS THAT WERE REALLY UNSOLICITED.
SO HE HAD $25,000 AND UNITED HEALTHCARE.
HE ALSO DOLLARS WERE UP TO ENHANCE THE SERVICES.
LAST MONTH, WE HOSTED THE QUARTERLY MEETING OF ALL THE IDEAS THAT THE STATE, I REALLY EXCITED THAT NATURAL RESOURCES IS SUPPLYING INFORMATION SESSION.
UNFORTUNATELY, IT IS VIRTUAL, UH, FOR BOTH MUNICIPAL AND COUNTY YEARS FROM AROUND THE REGION TO REALLY TALK ABOUT ELECTRIC VEHICLES, CHARGING ALTERNATIVES, BORDERS, INFRASTRUCTURE, INVESTMENTS, JOBS ACT.
WE'RE LOOKING AT THE END OF FEBRUARY, AND WE'LL KEEP YOU POSTED AS THAT DATE COMES FINALIZED.
WE'RE VERY GRACIOUS WITH US TODAY.
YOU STARTED A NEW, UH, PLASTIC ACADEMY WITH THREE 50 DEATHS LAST WEEK.
I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO TELLING YOU THAT WE HOSTED A VERY SUCCESSFUL CENSUS WORKSHOP.
LAST WEEK, WE DID MOST THE CENSUS WORKSHOP AND IT WAS I'M GOING TO SAY WORTHLESS.
THEY DIDN'T BRING ANY OF THE INFORMATION THAT THEY PROMISED.
THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO EXPLAIN EVERYTHING.
PROP TALK ABOUT PROCESSES FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.
SO WE WERE VERY DESPONDENT ABOUT IT.
YOU HAVE SEVERAL GRANT DEADLINES INTERVENE.
I WAS SUPPORTING YOU AND HELP YOU PLEASE HELP US PAY ATTENTION TO THOSE DEADLINES.
WE HAVE ALL SORTS OF DEADLINES FOR ETA.
PLEASE, ARE YOU ON PACE? WE CLOSED OUR FIRST PROJECT RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
SO THE, UH, TRAVIS BUILDING, UH, WAS FINANCED.
SO WE HAVE SEVERAL MORE THAT ARE IN THE PIPELINE.
WE GOT THREE BUILDINGS IN CASTROVILLE.
WE HAVE A FACILITY, WE HAVEN'T GOT CHECK PROJECTS AND SAVE THE CHILD WALLETS.
AND WE'VE RECEIVED A LOT OF INQUIRIES ABOUT PROGRAM THE LAST TWO OR THREE MONTHS.
SO I THINK AS DEVELOPERS ARE LOOKING AT THERESA, LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF INTEREST, UM, IN THE AREA AND USING PACES THAT, UH, WHEN WE LOOK AT MILITARY AND VETERAN AFFAIRS, AS YOU WOULD REMEMBER IT IN OCTOBER, WE MOVED ALL OF OUR VETERAN
[00:35:01]
AND MILITARY PROJECTS UNDER .SO ONE OF THOSE IN A BETTER DISRUPTED CARE, WHICH WE HAD DONE SEVERAL YEARS UNDER THE VA IS EXPLODING ON STEROIDS.
AND THAT PROGRAM ALLOWS VETERANS TO STAY AT THEIR HOMES AND NOT MOVE TO AN ASSISTED FACILITY.
UH, WE, I THINK CASE MANAGERS FOR THAT PROGRAM AND, UH, WE NOW ARE UP TO 4, 450 CASES.
I MEAN, WE WERE DOING THAT THREE OR FOUR ADDITIONAL CASES OF YEARS, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE LAST FOUR MONTHS IS EXPLODING.
SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE SITTING AT 450 DAYS.
THEY ESTIMATE CINDY NESS ABOUT TWO 50 CASES A MONTH, WHICH MEANS WE'LL BE HIRING MANAGER A MONTH TO MANAGE THOSE CASES.
SO THEY ESTIMATE THAT EITHER HERE THEY ANTICIPATE, WE MAYBE IT'S NICE HOURS IN CASES.
THEY ALSO ARE TALKING ABOUT CHANGING IT TO DEL RIO.
AND I'VE TALKED TO MY COUNTERPART IN MIDDLE REAL ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THAT.
SO WHEN WE GET INFORMATION, IF THAT HAPPENS, WE'LL COME BACK TO ME TO DISCUSS THAT OPPORTUNITY.
THE LAYERS ARE EXTRA AUDIT BECAUSE WE DID HAVE MORE FINDINGS WITH THE EXTERNAL AUDIT.
WE WERE NOT ELIGIBLE TO REAPPLY FOR FUNDING FROM TEXAS VETERANS COMMISSION ON OUR RIDES FROM TEXAS HEROES AND HOMES FROM TEXAS.
THE VERY GOOD NEWS IS THAT BECAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION OF NRX DIRECTED, AND THAT'S A PAY FOR PERFORMANCE CONTRACT BECAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION OF BAD POPULATION AND THE THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THAT VETERANS PROGRAM, WE WILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE FUNDING THOSE TWO PROGRAMS WITH RIDES IN HOMES, BY USING THE APPROPRIATE BEING GENERATED BY VETERANS DIRECTLY, WE WILL BRING THAT BACK TO YOU AND SHE RELIES UPON THE PATIENT.
SO WE ALL HOPE THAT HE CONTINUES.
WE CAN FIND THAT FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS OUT OF YOU ASSOCIATED BATHS OF ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE VETERAN PROGRAM, PROPOSED TO ADDITIONAL SERVICES TO GET THEM SO THAT WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT SETTING THE LANDSCAPE.
THEY TOLD US MUST BE DECEMBER AND DECEMBER.
THEY SAID JANUARY, PROBABLY FEBRUARY, OR THEY HAVE TO SET THAT.
SO, UH, WE LOOK FORWARD TO THAT AND WE'RE ALL SET TO GO WITH THAT ROLLOUT.
UH, ONE MORE ISSUE FOR YOU, DENVER, I THINK FOR MANY OF YOU THAT FOR A LONG TIME, YOU'RE VERY PLEASED THAT, UH, WEATHERIZATION PROGRAM WAS MONITORED.
IT IS A VERY CLEAN BIDEN FOR BOTH, UH, PROGRAM AND FINANCIAL.
SO BOTH ASPECTS OF THAT PROGRAM HAD ABSOLUTELY NO FINDINGS.
WE WERE VERY PLEASED WITH THAT.
AND WITH THAT, MR. CHAIRMAN , DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR DIANE REAL QUICK? I HAVE ONE THE CENSUS MEETING THAT YOU SAID WAS SO TERRIBLE.
IS THERE ANY WORD I'VE GOT AN EMAIL FROM MICHAEL BEAR? BASICALLY, IF YOU'RE, IF YOU THINK YOU'RE, YOU WERE UNDER COUNTED, WHICH I'M PRETTY SURE MY COUNTY WAS GROSSLY UNDER COUNTED THAT YOU COULD CONTEST IT.
DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT, WE GOT TO GET YOU MORE INFORMATION ON THAT? THERE IS A PROCESS FOR FEEDING.
THAT IS FROM WHAT I'M TOLD BY.
I UNDERSTAND IT IS EXPENSIVE BECAUSE YOU GRABBED THE COST THERE.
CAN WE SEND THAT OUT TO, THANK YOU.
YOU MENTIONED THE SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE CASES FOR MILITARY.
DO YOU HAVE THE STAFF TO HANDLE THE CASE LOAD? IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT A PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL .
THAT'S WHY WE ARE ADDING ONE CASE, EXTRA STRESS.
I HAVE TO SAY OUR CASE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS REALLY GET REALLY AGGRESSIVE FOR BOTH VETERANS AND MILITARY SPOUSES, BECAUSE IT'S A FREE HAVE TEXAS VETERANS NETWORK, BUT WE HAVE HIRED ABOUT FOUR PEOPLE WHO'S DIRECTING AND VETERANS NETWORK.
SO WE'RE UP IDEALLY, AND I APPRECIATE YOUR QUESTION.
WE'RE STRUGGLING TO CHALLENGE ACROSS
[00:40:01]
THE BOARD.THAT WAS MY QUESTION, MR. CHAIRMAN, GO AHEAD AND ASK IT THERE, THERE ARE TWO ITEMS I'D LIKE TO WORK WITH YOU TO GET A COPY OF THE MOU WITH THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO ON THE PACE PROGRAM TO SEE IF WE CAN REPLICATE IT AT BEAR COUNTY.
WE'D LOVE TO SEE IF I WILL SEND YOU THE STEPS THAT IT'S TOO MUCH.
AND THEN I'LL SEND YOU A COLONY, UM, ARE FANTASTIC.
ARE SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT THAN THE ONES WE HAVE WITH ALL OUR OTHER ONE THAT WE HAVE WITH ALL THE STANDARDIZED.
AND I'VE WORKED, I'VE WORKED WITH CHARLENE AND AUSTIN ON THE PACE PROGRAM FOR MANY YEARS.
THE SECOND THING IS WITH RESPECT TO THE VETERANS PROGRAMS YEARS AGO, I WAS A CONSULTANT TO THE US DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AND HELP GET THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES OUT OF PROBATION FOR GRANT THAT WAS DONE ON TRAFFICKING, HUMAN TRAFFICKING WORK.
UM, AND SOMETIMES THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO CORRECT THE FINDINGS IN THE AUDIT.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN WORK, UM, TO TRY AND CORRECT THOSE SO THAT THE PROGRAM FUNDING CAN BE RESTORED, OR IF WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL, YOU KNOW, ANOTHER FUNDING CYCLE, BUT WE'RE, WHERE DOES THAT STAND? WE HAVE TO STAY IN TIME OUT IN THE TWO YEAR PERIOD ONCE WE HAVE AND THE GOOD NEWS IS WE DON'T HAVE ASSOCIATED WITH OTHER UNCERTAIN LOVE TO WHEN WE DO OUR MEETING ON, ON, UM, PACE.
WE'LL JUST, UH, I'LL COME AND SEE YOU AND VISIT YOU ABOUT THAT PROGRAM AS WELL ABOUT THE HELP ON THAT.

[11. Discussion and appropriate action on the recommendation regarding the 4th Quarter 2021 and Year End 2021 financial report. - Julio Elizondo A. Dashboard B. Balance Sheet C. Revenue and Expenditures D. Administrative Budgets E. Quarterly Investment Report]
NUMBER 11 IS JULIO ELIZONDO DISCUSSING, UH, UH, FOURTH QUARTER 2021 A YEAR IN 2021 FINANCIAL REPORT.DID HE EVER PRESENT TO YOU ON THE YEAR END 24 SHEET FINANCIAL DASHBOARD, VERY SIMILAR METRICS THAT I WOULD POINT OUT VERY FIRST ONE IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER PERCENTAGE EARNED IT SPITS OUR TOTAL BUDGET BY 21 WAS ABOUT $70 MILLION AND PAYS 5%.
THAT'S OUR CASH AND INVESTMENTS DID DECREASE IN DECEMBER, UH, ROUGHLY ABOUT $2 MILLION.
THE REASON FOR THAT IS WE HAD A COUPLE OF EXTRAORDINARY, EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS THAT WE GET PAID.
IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE HAD SOME SCIENTIFIC AVIATION INVOICES THAT WE GOT UNDER $50,000 ECCQ, UH, PROGRAM.
AND WE'VE GOT AN INCREASED, UH, INCREASED BILLING AND, UH, NUTRITION AT OUR CVS BUILDINGS FOR VETERANS.
UM, ON THE FLIP SIDE, YOU CAN SEE THE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE DID INCREASE BY ABOUT $2 MILLION.
WELL, ROUGHLY FOR THE SAME REASONS THAT I JUST MENTIONED BALANCE SHEET, YOU CAN SEE OUR TOTAL ASSETS NOW SET AT ABOUT 38.9 MILLION.
THAT'S AN INCREASE FROM 2020 FIGURES OF 25.9 MILLION.
AND THAT'S THE REASON FOR THAT.
IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE ARE SEEING OVER THE YEAR, WHICH IS A BIG DOLLARS HIGHER THAN WHAT WE WORK A YEAR, A YEAR PRIOR.
SO HERE'S JUST ANOTHER VIEW OF OUR BALANCE SHEET AND OUR FUND BALANCE POLO SHIRT AND A SHIRT DID.
[00:45:01]
ONE ITEM THAT I WANTED TO POINT OUT HERE IS YOU CAN SEE IN BOLD ALAN WALTER AGING, THE $5 DECREASE FROM A YEAR AGO, UH, IT DATES OVER TWO VETERANS DIRECTED INTO THE CERTAIN VETERANS APARTMENTS.SO YOU CAN SEE IN DECEMBER A YEAR AGO THAT HOMELESSNESS WAS ESSENTIALLY NOTHING.
SO OUR CASH INVESTMENTS, PROBABLY ONE OF THE REASONS THAT I MENTIONED HERE.
WE HAVE AN INVESTMENT SUMMARY BOX BY PUBLIC FUNDS INVESTMENT.
YOU CAN SEE YOUR MONEY MARKET POOLS, AND YOU CAN SEE WE DID AN INTEREST FOR THE LAST QUARTER.
SO WE'RE SITTING IN ABOUT, AND RTR SLIDE.
WE ARE AT BODY LEVEL $0.5 MILLION FOR THE YEAR.
AND AGAIN, AS I MENTIONED, THAT IS HIGHER THAN WHAT WE NORMALLY ARE SEEN, THAT WE DID HAVE THAT AT CVS BILLING.
IN ADDITION, WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF NDAS IN DEPARTMENT FOR HHSC WAITING ON THAT FUNDING TO COME IN FOR THE CLOSE OUT OF THAT, UH, LUNG YEAR.
UH, IN ADDITION, WE ARE WAITING ON SOME OUTSTANDING THINGS FROM TEXTILE AS WELL, AND THE TCEQ.
THIS IS JUST AN HISTORICAL VIEW OF HOW WE ARE IN AR.
UM, YOU CAN SEE HERE, IT HAS CONTINUED TO STAY SAY IN THIS NEXT YEAR'S COLLECTIONS THAT WE HAVE SHOWN THE IMPORTANCE OF AR OH YEAH.
JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME SOMEBODY DIVIDED.
OUR, OUR BUDGET HAS GROWN SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST THREE YEARS.
AND SO THAT AR JUST HAS INCREASED AS WELL.
HERE, WE HAVE SUMMARIZED OUR SAVINGS AND EXPENDITURES POSITION, AND WE GET IN THE YEAR ABOUT $4.5 MILLION UNDER BUDGET ON A PROGRAM CALLED SHORT OF THAT BUDGET IN TVA CA THEY DID HAVE SOME BUGS THERE, BUT HE HELPED ME GET HERE IN A YEAR.
IN ADDITION TO BUDGET FOR A YEAR, THEY WILL CARRY THAT, THAT THE NUTRITION FOR CLASS FOUR TO 22 IN BARREL AGING, THE REVENUE SIDE.
AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, VETERANS DIRECTED UNDERSHIRT INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDS, A FUND BALANCES TRANSFER TO, AND THIS IS THE REAL COST OF THAT LARGER ARTS SCENE.
WE'LL PUT $1 MILLION ON THE BUDGET ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE.
THEY DIDN'T HAVE, I MUST HAVE TOLD YOU IN DECEMBER, UH, THOSE BUSES ACTUALLY COME IN AND THEY WILL BE RECEIVED.
I BELIEVE THEY RECEIVED ABOUT THREE OR SIX IN JANUARY.
UH, THE REST OF THE TRICKLED IN OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS.
SO WE WILL NEED A BUNCH OF MODIFICATIONS TO INCREASE THEIR .
IN ADDITION, SURPLUS TO THEIR, TO THEIR POTS.
THIS HAS BEEN DOABLE OF EFFICIENT OPERATIONS OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR.
IN ADDITION TO THAT HERE'S MONEY THAT'S ADDED IN THE PAST YEAR.
I MENTIONED THAT AGING BALANCES TRANSFERRED OVER, WHICH RESULTED IN THE NEED TO ACCESS A SURPLUS AS WELL.
YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT $74,008 UNDER BUDGET CARES GRANTS, BUT APPLE REMOTE CARRY FORWARD APPROXIMATELY 70,000.
AND YOU CAN TRASH A LINE THAT'S HE SPENT THIS YEAR YET THAT WAS ALREADY INCLUDED IN THE, UM, AND THAT DRAFT DOES EXPIRE HERE.
ON THE ADMINISTRATIVE SIDE AND SEE IF IT DID WASH SHORT ABOUT 6% OF OUR BUDGET.
THIS IS ACTUALLY GOOD NEWS BECAUSE A YEAR HAS STRUGGLED ON THE FORMER SITES HIT OUR BENCHMARK FOR INDIRECT.
SO FIRSTLY, THIS WAS BY DESIGN .
SO, UM, WE DID, WE ARE CARING FOR US OVER RECOVERY.
UH, THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION
[00:50:01]
QUESTIONS, I THINK, BY HAVING QUESTIONS FOR JULIO TEAL.SO WE KNOW THAT SALARIES, HEALTHCARE, EVERYTHING ELSE FOR EMPLOYEES IS GOING UP IN YOUR OVERALL MODEL OF LOOKING AT EVERYTHING THAT YOU'RE INVOLVED WITH.
DO YOU SEE ANY PART OF THAT, THAT YOU THINK THAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET FUNDING THAT YOU MAY NOT GET FUNDING? UH, NO.
FOR THE MOST PART, EVERYTHING THAT WAS BUDGETED IS A , UM, THAT WE HAD THE CONTRACT WITH, UH, FOR THE MOST PART, EVERYTHING ELSE THAT, UH, THAT WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET.
ALSO, WE DON'T, WE DON'T INCLUDE THAT IN THE BUDGET, IN THE PREPARATION OF THE BUDGET, SO.
I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE MOTION BY JUDGE EVANS.
[12. Consider and act upon the recommendation from the Executive Director to approve AACOG's Annual Audit Corrective Action Plan for year ended December 31, 2020. - Jenise Diaz]
A, UM, A COGS ANNUAL AUDIT CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FOR A YEAR ENDING 2020, DECEMBER 31ST TO MACE MR. CHAIRMAN MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THIS ITEM WAS REQUIRED TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT A CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN.THE BORDERLINE NEEDS REPORTING PRESENTED TO THE BOARD DURING THE SEPTEMBER MEETING THAT IT WAS TABLED FOR ACTION OR PROGRESS REPORTS AT THE OCTOBER MEETING AS OF DECEMBER 22ND, 2021, ALL CORRECTIONS HAD BEEN DEVELOPED, DOCUMENTED AND IMPLEMENTED PRIOR TO DECEMBER 31ST DEADLINE, YOU HAVE THE DETAILED INFORMATION IN YOUR PACKETS.
THIS POINT, THE IS FOCUSED A SUMMARY OF THE CONDITION CAUSING PLANS AND REMEDIES AND THINGS THAT CONTROL HER HAS ACCESS TO POST ENTRIES TO THE GENERAL ACCOUNTING SYSTEM AND FORM RECONCILIATIONS.
SO WE CHANGED THIS RIGHT AWAY.
ACTUALLY AUGUST 2ND WAS THE DAY I STARTED.
UM, AND WE CHANGED THE FFS ACCOUNTING RULE, UH, ROLES TO WORKFLOW ALL OF HER ENTRIES SO THAT IF MY APPROVAL, SO THAT'S IN PLACE RIGHT AWAY.
I KNEW THAT HER TOO, ALTHOUGH IT WAS ALL BALANCE SHEET RELATED, I BROKE IT OUT TO AME.
CAUSE I JUST STARTED THIS PIECE.
SO FINDING A RECEIVABLES AND PAYABLES ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ACCOUNTS AND TAKE NUMEROUS CLASSES THAT EDIT APPS, THE TOTAL AMOUNT THAT HE ASKED HER TO LIVE, NOT INDIVIDUALLY REPRESENTING THE SUPPORTABLE BALANCE.
SO THE CORRECTION WAS OF COURSE, FIRST OF ALL, TO PREPARE AND POST INTRODUCED TO CLEAR IS THAT ON A MOUSE.
AND THEN SHE IMPLEMENT AND FMS, WHICH IS THE ACCOUNTING SYSTEM AUTOMATED PROCESS THAT WOULD OCCUR ON A MONTHLY BASIS.
SO, UM, AND ALSO TO ESTABLISH AND TRACK THAT ACTIVITY FOR REVIEW DURING THE MONTH END PROCESS.
AND THAT TOOK PLACE ON NOVEMBER 20TH, ALL THE STAFFS WERE COMPLETE.
I NEED TO BE IN ONE INSTANCE, THE BALANCE OF BETTER EXCEEDED THE CASH MAINTAINED IN THAT FLAT.
SO THE CORRECTION WAS TO ESTABLISH A PROCESS, TO CHECK, TO FIND THE CASH BALANCES, TO ENSURE THEY ARE EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN THAT.
EVERY MONTH, EVERY THREE AYCOCK PROVIDED 18 ADJUSTING ENTRIES IMPACTING SEVERAL ACCOUNT BALANCES AFTER THE TRIAL BALANCE WAS PROVIDED FOR THE AUDIT.
SO THE CORRECTION ON THAT WAS TO ESTABLISH THE DOCUMENTS, STEPS, A TIMELINE AND DEADLINES FOR CLOSING GRANT YEARS AND A COCK THIS YEAR.
AND OF COURSE, TO COMMUNICATE ALL DEADLINES TO THE RESPONSIBLE PROGRAM STAFF THAT TOOK PLACE BY DECEMBER 15TH AND OUR FINAL, UM, PROVIDERS DID NOT CONTAIN ALL REQUIRED INFORMATION BECAUSE IF YOU UNFAMILIAR WITH THE, SEE THAT SEES THE REPORTS, AND THAT WAS OUR SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULES TO THE AUDIT THAT PROVIDED INFORMATION ON FEDERAL
[00:55:01]
AND STATE FUNDS.SO I'M THE BIGGEST WOULD ASK US TO EVALUATE, SEEK THE VISA DOCUMENT.
THAT WAS OUR DOCUMENT THAT WE USE TO PROVIDE AUDIT AGAINST THE REQUIREMENTS AND TO SATISFY CONTROLS, TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE.
AND THEN OF COURSE, TO GET THAT THE ACCOUNTANT TRAINING, ULTIMATELY THAT WAS DONE BY NOVEMBER 1ST TO 2021.
AND I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
WE APPROVE THAT CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN.
A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN.
SECOND SECOND BY MAYOR BILLY ON AND WE HAVE A QUESTION.
JUST ONE QUESTION ON THESE AUDIT FINDINGS.
IT MADE US INELIGIBLE FOR THAT ONE, ONE AREA OF A GRANTS.
WERE THERE ANY, OR ARE THERE ANY OTHER IMPACTS TO THE ORGANIZATION? JUST THAT ONE.
AND WAS IT BECAUSE OF WE HAD FOUR OR WAS THERE A SPECIFIC ONE? OKAY.
MOTION EMOTION, BOB MAYOR WILLIAMS. SECOND BY MAYOR DELI ON TO APPROVE, UH, THE CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN, UH, AND FILE ANY MORE DISCUSSION HEARING NONE ALL IN FAVOR.
[13. Agency Contract Performance Report - Diane Rath]
REMEMBER 13, UH, AGENCY CONTRACT PERFORMER FOR BOOK REPORT, MS. RAT.THERE ARE SOME VARIANCES IN THE CPR.
NEXT TIME WE HAVE AN AGING PROGRAM, BOTH IN HERE, AGING, ALMA AGING.
WE ARE FALLING SHORT OF BEING ABLE TO REFER CLIENTS THAT ARE WANTING TO SERVICES OR SERVICES, PERSONAL ASSISTANCE TO THE AGENCIES TO RESERVE THIS, TO RECEIVE THOSE SERVICES.
AND THE REASON IS BECAUSE THE AGENCIES CAN'T FIND STAFF.
SO WE HAVE THE ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS.
WE HAVE CLIENTS THAT NEED SERVICES, BUT THE AGENCIES ARE NOT ABLE TO ACCEPT ADDITIONAL REFERRALS BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE STAFF.
SO WE ARE AGGRESSIVELY SEEKING ADDITIONAL AGENCIES TO PROVIDE IT.
AND WE HAVE SEVERAL SMALL CONTRACTS THIS YEAR.
SO HOPEFULLY THAT WILL ALLOW RIGHT.
YOUR CAPACITY AS EVERYONE IS STRUGGLING TO HIRE STAFF AND OUR AGENCY PARTNERS ARE IN THE SAME BOAT AND IT REALLY HASN'T CAUSED A BACKLOG HERE.
SO I WILL SAY THAT I THINK WE WERE A LITTLE SLOW TO RECOGNIZE WHEN YOU DID EXPAND OUR PROVIDER BASE.
UM, WE, WE HAVE TAKEN THOSE STEPS, SO THOSE SHOULD BE UNDERWAY.
UH, THE OTHER ONE ON THE OFFICE MAKES A GOOD NEWS STORY.
I HAVE TO REALLY COMPLIMENT THEM, UH, BECAUSE THEY ADDED AN ADDITIONAL SERVICE OUT HERE IN THE STATE.
SHE USED TO BE IN THIS ENVIRONMENT, WE'RE ABLE TO RECRUIT VOLUNTEERS AND HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE STRUGGLING TO GO INTO SKILLED NURSING FACILITY IN THEIR ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY AS A VOLUNTEER OFFICER TO DO THE JOB.
SO I REALLY WANT TO PASS IT ON IDD.
I HAVE TO RECOGNIZE JACOB AND IDD BECAUSE WE HEAR THEIR PERFORMANCE, UH, IN THE GENERAL REVENUE CONSUMER TARGET.
SO THEY DO A GOOD JOB IN FACT, BEGINNING OVER TARGET.
WE DID FALL SHORT IN THE MEDICAID WAIVER PROGRAM AND THAT'S BECAUSE JOBS WERE PERFORMED AND WE GOT SERVICES DELIVERED THAT STAFF, THE PAY BILL, AND DIDN'T GIVE THE DATA, ENTERED INTO THE STATE SYSTEM AND YOU ONLY GET CREDIT IF THE DATA IS IN HERE.
SO WE FELL SHORT BECAUSE OF THAT, BUT I HAVE TO REALLY RECOGNIZE HIM FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MANY, MANY, MANY MONTHS.
UH, THEY, UH, EXCEEDED THE GOAL FOR THE INVITATION, UH, COORDINATION AND CAPTURE.
SO THEY REALLY ARE MOVING IN A GOOD DIRECTION.
OH, NEXT TO MY, SORRY, I JUST WANTED TO BRAG ABOUT OUR, UH, THAT WE DID ALL THE VEGETABLES AND WE'RE POSTING OR OUR, UH, OUR GRANT, UH, TWO AND THREE.
SO THOSE ARE CHANGING OVER OUR CURRENT GRANT EXPIRES LIKE SPRING, TEXAS VETERANS NETWORK.
UH, I WON'T GO THROUGH THE CHARGES, BUT I HAVE TO REALLY SALUTE THEM FOR CONTINUING YOU'RE ASKING PERFORMANCES IS OUR PROBLEM AT THE SERVICES TO 27 COUNTIES.
[01:00:01]
THE TARGET FOR THAT PROGRAM.UH, YOU WILL SEE THAT WE HAVE NOT DONE A COUPLE OF WORKSHOPS IN THE APA.
WE HAVE WORKSHOPS SCHEDULED AND THERE WILL BE A PER FLOOR WHO DOESN'T WANT TO BREAK INTO THAT CONTRACT.
THOSE TWO ADDITIONAL WORKSHOPS WILL BE VISITS, WILL BE HELD, UH, PUBLIC SAFETY.
YOU WILL SEE MINI CLASSES AND THOSE RELATED CLASSES, I CALL IT CONTINUING EDUCATION.
THEY CALL IT IN-SERVICE CREDIT WHERE WE REALLY FELL SHORT ON BOTH.
THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ENROLLED IN THE NETWORK HOURS OF INSTRUCTION SO THAT WE SHOULD DELIVER.
WE HAD CONTRACTED WITH OUR BRIAN.
SOME OF YOU WILL REMEMBER, SO HE'S COME BACK, UH, TO REALLY OVERSEE EXPANSION OF OUR SCHEDULING.
WE WERE SCHEDULING ABOUT 140 CLASSES AND WE NEED TO SCHEDULE ON THAT 200 CLASSES.
SO WHAT WERE THE NEXT FEW MONTHS? THE NUMBERS SHOULD BE IMPROVING.
I'M VERY PLEASED THAT WE DID START HAVING CLASSES I MENTIONED, BUT 33 LAST WEEK AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE AGGRESSIVE AT THAT RECRUITMENT.
I THINK IT'S SO EXTRAORDINARY THAT WE'RE ABLE TO HAVE A LARGE CLASS OF 33 AND THIS ENVIRONMENT, UH, BARRIERS IN TRANSITIONING THAT ARE IN THAT CLASS.
AND THEN WE CONTINUE TO HAVE AGENCIES THEIR SPONSORS IN CLASS, UH, BECAUSE WHEN THEY GRADUATE FROM OUR TO HAVE, UH, WELL OVER THE REQUIRED MINIMUM REQUIREMENT COMES UP PAST 700 HOURS ON STAGE AT OUR DESPERATION.
MARCELLA WAS THERE AS ALL OF OUR COMPENSATION, UH, FOR OUR NINE 11 JUDGES WE WILL BE HAVING TO BE, BUT HE'S REALLY SHOOTING GREAT JOB AND SHE'S PLEADED STALL ON WHY I PUT MUCH.
WE'VE DONE A LOT OF BACKUP SYSTEMS. UM, THEIR ERROR RATE IS ABOVE WHAT NEEDS TO BE.
UM, SO WE DON'T HAVE SOME ERRORS.
SO THEY'RE DOING A VERY GOOD JOB HERE.
AND IN WEATHERIZATION, WE CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE MY FEET WIDESPREAD.
UH, THAT WAS THE FIRST END TO A MARCH 31ST HAND.
UH, AND WE CONTINUE TO FALL SHORT BY THE NUMBER OF HOMES OR HOMES IS, IS .
OUR PROBLEM IS THE COST PER BECAUSE WE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE PROGRAM.
HOW'S THE NUMBER OF HOMES IS LACKING.
UM, THAT COST PER THAT WE'RE ALLOWED IS HIGH.
UM, WE, WE CAN INSPECT YOUR SET RESTATE IN DECEMBER, AND YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO FINISH YOUR HOMES AND, UH, WE'RE WAITING TO HELP DESIGN A STRATEGY.
WE HAVE SUFFICIENT HOMES, WE HAVE SUFFICIENT CONTRACTORS, WE HAVE THE INSPECTORS.
SO WE'RE HOPING THAT WE'LL BE THAT CONTRACT ON TIME.
UH, WE'RE REALLY FOCUSED ON THE SHARING OF THE NEW CONTRACT AND LIVES IN THE NEW CONTRACT FOR JULY 8TH, 2022 HAS NOT YET ARRIVED IN JANUARY, NOTHING IN THAT CONTRACT THAT WE'RE ABLE TO WATCH IT TIMELY.
AND WON'T GET OLD AGAIN NEXT YEAR, I'M AVAILABLE THREE QUESTIONS, BUT ANY QUESTIONS FOR DIANE HEARING? NONE I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADD.
ERIC DOES REPORT MAYOR DENNIS SECOND BY JUDGE EVANS.

[15. Consider and act upon on the recommendation to authorize the Executive Director to purchase approximately one acre of land located between the Titan Building and Titan Plaza for the approximate sum of $360,000. – Cliff Herberg]
REMEMBER 15 CONSIDER AN ACT UPON RECOMMENDATION AUTHORIZED EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO PURCHASE APPROXIMATELY ONE ACRE OF LAND LOCATED BETWEEN THE TIGHTENED BUILDING AND TIGHTENED PLAZA FOR THE APPROXIMATE SOME $360,000 CLIFF.AS SHE KNOWS, WE HAVE THE TITLE.
I AGREE THIS END THE PROPERTY ON THE FAR END PROPERTY, WE HAVE TIGHTENED PLAZA.
THIS ITEM CONCERNS PURCHASE OF A PORTION OF THAT PROPERTY THAT IS IN BETWEEN THE TWO BOND DEAL.
AND THAT IS A FORMER MOTOR BANK.
AND YOU CAN SEE THAT YOU SEE, AS YOU DRIVE IN BETWEEN THE TWO PROPERTIES EARLY ON, WE HAD AN APPROACH AND I SAY, WE NEED A SHOT.
SCOTT, OUR FORMER ART DIRECTOR AT APPROACH PROPERTIES OWNER ABOUT ACQUIRING THE ENTIRE PROPERTY OR PARTYING OF OUR BUSES AND POSSIBLY MOVING SOME OF THE ART OPERATIONS FOR THAT BUILDING, OR EVEN IN CLOSING, THE MOTORBIKE IS A POSSIBLE MAINTENANCE OR STORAGE FACILITY OR PARTIAL BUSES TURNS OUT THAT THE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE REALLY INTERESTED IN SELLING THE ENTIRE PROPERTY.
UM, AS I CAN TELL YOU FROM FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCE, THEIR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SAID THAT THEY HAD WORKED ON HARD, PURCHASED THAT PROPERTY.
THEY DIDN'T WANT TO GO THROUGH IT AGAIN.
AND I SAID, THE ISSUES WE HAD IN PURCHASING THIS PROBLEM, BUT THEY ARE WILLING TO SELL YOU SEE ON THE EXHIBIT THERE, UH, APPROXIMATELY AN ACRE OF LAND BEHIND THEIR PROPERTY BECAUSE THEY BASICALLY DON'T USE IT AS THE FORMER, UH, ACTUAL, UH, DRIVING LANES AND DRIVING FACILITY.
AND THAT IS, UM, APPROXIMATELY ONE ACRE OF LAND.
IT HAS NOT BEEN FORMALLY SURVEYED YET, BUT, UH, WE HAD A SURVEYING COMPANY, GAVE US JUST A ROUGH AS LITERALLY ALMOST ONE ACRE OF LAND.
AND SO WE WOULD HAVE THE PROPERTY APPRAISED AND THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY IS A NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION.
AND THEIR BOARD HAS INDICATED AN INTEREST IN SELLING THE PROPERTY.
THEY HAVE TAKEN THEIR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR STATUS AND THEY'RE INTERESTED IN SOME IN PROPERTY, WHICH IS ROUGHLY $360,000, LESS, $20,000 THAT THEY ESTIMATE TO DEMOLISH THE DRIVE-THROUGH FACILITIES THERE FOR A VALUE OF 340,000.
WE WOULD HAVE TO PARTITION THE PROPERTY, REPLANT IT, AND DO A FORMAL SURVEY TO GET THE EXACT SIZE OF THE PROPERTY.
WE ASKED THEM TO MAKE THOSE COSTS WITH YOU.
I BELIEVE $20,000 IN LEGAL FEES, TITLE AND SO ON OTHER THINGS.
AND, UM, SO THIS AGENDA ITEM ASK FOR APPROVAL OVER APPROXIMATELY ABOUT $360,000.
UM, THE BENEFITS A ARE THAT ONE, ALTHOUGH WE HAVE WHAT IS CONSIDERED MINIMALLY GOOD PARKING PARKING RATIO OF 3.9 SLOTS AND 1000 SQUARE FEET, IDEALLY YOU WANT TO GET A NORMAL FOUR.
SO WE'RE RIGHT THERE IN THE BALLPARK, BUT AT THE VERY LEAST THIS EXTRA ACRE, THESE ARE THE CANDIDATES WE'VE HAD TENANTS INQUIRE WHO WANT AS MANY AS 10 SPACES PER THOUSAND.
SO WE'RE RIGHT ON THE CUSP OF BEING ACCEPTABLE.
SO THIS WOULD ENHANCE THE PARKING THERE'S POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT, DEPENDING ON THE NEEDS.
I MENTIONED ART IS CONSIDERED AT THE IDEA OF DEPENDING ON THE AVAILABILITY OF IN CLOSING THAT, UM, THAT FACILITY, THE DRIVE-THROUGH FACILITIES AND USING IT, AS I SAID, FOR MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE, YOU ALSO HAVE THE GRANT FOR THE GUN RANGE THAT IS IN PLAY.
AND WE CANNOT NOT SAY, WE CANNOT SAY FOR SURE WHETHER THIS WOULD BE SUITABLE FOR THE GUN RANGE IN ALL THE PERMITTING, THE CITY REQUIREMENTS, BUT IT AT LEAST HAS THAT POTENTIAL.
BUT AS I SAID, AT THE VERY LEAST IN THE ANSWERS, THE TWO PROPERTIES WE HAVE, I CAN PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL PARKING.
AND SO WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS PURCHASE IF THE BOARD IS IN AGREEMENT.
AND I BELIEVE THAT'S, I THINK I'VE GIVEN YOU ALL THE FACTS THAT I HAVE AT MY DISPOSAL, BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, DO YOU MIND ANSWERING, UM, WE HAVE MOTION MAKE THE MOST OF THE DISCUSSION BY THAT SECOND MOTION BY
[01:10:01]
JUDGE EVANS.SECOND BY JUDGE SHU, HAR, AND WE HAVE A QUESTION BY JUDGE.
SO HOW ARE WE GOING TO FUND IT? HAS IT GONE IMPACT OUR CASHFLOW IS GOING TO INCREASE OUR CASH BECAUSE WE HAVE THE EXTRA PROPERTY, BUT WE JUST HAVE PROPERTY THOUGH.
AND A BENEFIT YET WE DON'T ANTICIPATE, I HAVE TO SAY WITH THAT MINIMAL IMPACT IMPACTING OUR CASHFLOW.
AND THERE WAS 15 MILLION IN THE FUND BALANCE.
WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO AFFORD IT WITHOUT ANY IMPACT TO YOU.
WE'RE LOW ON FUND BALANCE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF THE OUTSTANDING AR BECAUSE WE HAD $2 MILLION THAT WERE EXTRAORDINARY BILLINGS THAT WE PAID OUT IN, UH, DECEMBER.
AND BOTH OF THOSE ARE, SHOULD BE REIMBURSED BY THE AGENCY WITHIN 60 DAYS WITHIN ABOUT ANOTHER MONTH, BECAUSE BOTH OF THOSE AGENCIES RUN CURRENTLY TIMELY, BUT THE OPERATIONAL COSTS HERE REALLY, THEY COULD BE BRIGHT TIGHTENED BUILDING.
I THINK WE'RE LOOKING LONG-TERM AT THE OVERALL OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE ONE, ONE SOLID PIECE OF PROPERTY, UH, AND HAVE THAT, THAT PARKING AVAILABLE, AT LEAST IN THE SHORT TERM GREATLY ENHANCES THE OVERALL VALUE OF THIS PROPERTY FOR LONG-TERM STRATEGY, AS OPPOSED TO HAVING TWO DIVIDED PROPERTIES.
YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF EXCELLENT NEGOTIATORS AND, UH, JUDGE EVANS AND THE GUY SITTING NEXT TO HIM.
AND I'M WONDERING IF YOU WENT BACK TO HIM AND TALKED TO HIM ABOUT A LEASE PURCHASE WHERE YOU'D LEASE IT BACK TO HIM AT A VERY FAVORABLE RATE THAT THEY MIGHT CONSIDER DOING THAT SORT OF OUR LONG-TERM PLAN.
I MEAN, AT SOME POINT IT MIGHT BECOME DESIRABLE FOR THEM TO TAKE AN OPTION LIKE THAT.
AND WE'VE ACTUALLY DISCUSSED, AS I SAID, WE'VE ALREADY APPROACHED THEM ABOUT BUYING IT AND THEY'RE NOT INTERESTED IN THAT, BUT I THINK THAT AS WE MOVE FURTHER ALONG, YOU KNOW, THAT COULD BE POTENTIAL.
WE'VE DISCUSSED A LOT OF OPTIONS.
WELL, IF YOU PICK, IF YOU'RE ABLE TO PICK THIS UP AND GET IT DONE, THEN IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE, WHAT LITTLE I KNOW ABOUT IT IS THAT THEY BECOME MORE LANDLOCKED THAN THEY WERE BEFORE.
IT COULD BE LEVERAGED FOR YEAH.
UH, ONE IS, UH, THAT THIS IS THIS TIME, THE TWO PROPERTIES TOGETHER THAT MEETS OUR BORDERS AND WHAT IS THE, AND WHO OWNS THE PROPERTY TO THE, BEHIND IT, TO THE EAST OF US.
THAT'S THE DRAINAGE CANAL RIGHT TO THE EAST OF US IS A DRAINAGE CANAL.
I SEE SOME BUILDINGS, RIGHT? THE ONLY BUILDINGS ON THIS ENTIRE BLOCK, THE ONLY BUILDINGS ON THIS ENTIRE BLOCK OR OUR SIX STORY TOWER ARE ONE STORY PLAZA.
AND THAT LITTLE ROUND THREE BUILDINGS ASSOCIATED WITH THEM, YOU MIGHT BE SEEING COVERED PARKING.
YOU MIGHT BE LOOKING AT THE COVERAGE PART WITH THIS PROPERTY.
SO THAT'S WHAT THAT IS BETWEEN THIS BORDER AND THE CREEK, THE COVERED, COVERED PARKING IS OUR PROPERTY AND THAT'S ORDERS PERIMETER.
SO WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT THAT, THOSE PARKING LANES, IF YOU STAND AT OUR, AT THE DOOR AWAY FROM FOUR 10 AND YOU LOOK ACROSS THE PARKING LOT TO THE PLAZA, IT'S ALL THOSE PARKING LANES THAT INTERRUPT US FROM THE PLAN AND ACTUALLY MEETS OUR BORDERS ON THREE SIDES.
THANKS KNOW IF WE HAVE THE MONEY.
I MAY HAVE MISSED THIS, BUT WHAT'S THE PIECE OF LAND BEING USED FOR RIGHT NOW? NOTHING.
WE USE IT FREE, BUT THIS WOULD COME OUT AS WE COME OUT OF THIS COVID SITUATION THAT WE'RE IN.
I DO BELIEVE THAT MARK MARKETS ARE VERY HIGH RIGHT NOW AND THAT AT SOME POINT THEY MAY START TO GO DOWN A LITTLE BIT, BUT I CAN DO JUST THE OPTIONS I COULD GO BACK UP.
I KNOW FOR A FACT, I'VE GOT FIVE CALLS IN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS ON REAL ESTATE AND I'M INVOLVED WITH PEOPLE WANTING TO BUY OH WHOLE SECTIONS OF REAL ESTATE THAT I'VE
[01:15:01]
GOT.UM, AND THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE THERE'S A HUGE SHORTAGE OF IT.
AND PART OF THAT'S PUSHING FROM AUSTIN BECAUSE OF THE COST OF LIVING IN AUSTIN AND PEOPLE HERE BETTER TO LIVE HERE IN AUSTIN FOR ASSESSMENT, PROBABLY THE LEAST QUALIFIED OUT OF THIS STEAM CROWD TO SAY THIS, BUT CONNECTING THESE TWO PROPERTIES IS A NO BRAINER.
IT JUST, IT JUST LOOKED LIKE TO ME THAT WE'D BE REALLY SHOOTING OURSELVES IN THE FOOT, NOT TO DO THIS AND WE GET ONE CHANCE TO DO IT.
THIS EMOTION NEED TO INCLUDE THE AMOUNT.
UM, I ALWAYS LIKED TO, YOU KNOW, THE APPROXIMATELY 360,000 BOTHERS ME, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A, NOT TO EXCEED.
I WAS GOING TO MENTION THAT, AND I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT SUBJECT UP.
AND SO IF THIS, THE NOT TO EXCEED, YOU KNOW, NEEDS TO BE A LITTLE HIGHER THAN THAT, I'D RATHER SEE US DO THAT AND NOT HAVE TO COME BACK TO THE MEETING.
BUT, UM, THE ONLY REASON THAT WE DON'T HAVE A EARL SOLID MINT IS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A FORMAL SURVEY.
AND SO ONCE THAT STAKED OUT, AS I, AS I MENTIONED, THE METAL PER SQUARE FOOT VALUE OF THE PROPERTY IS APPRAISED AT $8 AND 32 CENTS A FOOT.
SO BASED ON THAT ADJUSTMENT, IT WOULD BE AWESOME AT SOME PLACE THOUGH, TO DO SOMETHING LIKE 80,000, JUST SO WE HAVE A CUSHION, YOU KNOW? YEAH.
ARE THERE OTHER COSTS? PURCHASE COSTS? YEAH.
ARE THERE REALTORS INVOLVED OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? OKAY.
WE'LL HAVE REASONABLY, AND WE'LL HAVE TO GET INVOLVED IN DRAFTING THE AGREEMENT BECAUSE IT'S SUCH AN ODD YEAR.
WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN A FINE BOUNDARY YET.
AND WE'VE GOT TO DO THE PLANNING ALL OF THAT BEFORE WE CAN IDENTIFY.
I'M ALSO TOLD AS OF YESTERDAY TO GET SURVEYS DONE BY SURVEY COMPANIES AND THEN GET THEM INTO THE CITY TO GET THE REPLANTING DONE.
YOU'RE LOOKING AT FOUR TO SIX MONTHS.
INSIDE THAT BUILDING ANY PROPERTY FURNITURE OR ANYTHING, THEY USE IT AS FOR THEIR MEETING PLACE FOR THEIR ASSOCIATION.
AND SO THEIR EXECUTIVE OFFICE OFFERS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S OFFICE IS LOCATED THERE AS WELL AS I BELIEVE ONE OR TWO SPORTS.
NOW I ALWAYS JOKE IT SEATS EMPTY 90% OF THE TIME.
BUT I DO, I AM AWARE THAT THEY HAVE THE MONTHLY BOARD MEETINGS ARE AS WELL RIGHT NOW, SORT OF FOOTAGE, BUT IT'S ABOUT A 2,500 SQUARE FOOT BUILDINGS.
AND OCCASIONALLY WE'LL SEE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR.
THEY WOULD TAKE ALL THAT FURNITURE.
WE ARE NOT BUYING THE BUILDING MAYOR.
YOU'RE NOT BUYING THE BUILDING.
THE PORTION BEHIND WHERE THE MOTOR CONTROL IS THE FIRST DAYS THAT IT SHOWS THE LINE STRIKING.
AND WE GO BACK TO THAT, SEE THAT YELLOW LINE THAT BISECTS THE PROPERTY BY THAT PROPERTY.
SO WE HAVE A MOTION WITH SECOND ON THE FLOOR FOR APPROXIMATELY $360,000 IS THAT WE HAD AN AMENDMENT NOT TO EXCEED.
I'LL MAKE THE AMENDMENT NOT TO EXCEED 400,000 THAT PROPER TO DO IT THAT WAY I WOULD ADMITTED.
SO WE'VE GOT A MOTION AND SECOND, UH, JUDGE EVANS AND JUDGE SHU HARDER.
ANY MORE DISCUSSION HEARING? NONE.
[16. Consider and act upon on the recommendation to authorize the Executive Director to release a Request for Qualifications and enter into an agreement with the selected vendor to provide all required Energy Services (Planning, Investment Grade Audit, Design, and Project Management) for the Titan Building and Titan Plaza. – Cliff Herberg]
ITEM NUMBER 16, CONSIDER AN ACT UPON RECOMMENDATION TO AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, TO RELEASE HER RFQ AND ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE SELECTED VENDOR TO PROVIDE ALL REQUIRED ENERGY SERVICES, WHICH ARE PLANNING, INVESTMENT GRADE, AUDIT, DESIGN, AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT FOR THE TIGHTENED BUILDING AND TIGHTENED PLAZA.MR. HARBURG, AGAIN, THE, UM, AS YOU KNOW, IN LIFE,
[01:20:01]
IT'S ALWAYS TWO STEPS FORWARD.AND AS YOU WILL RECALL, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE STATE ENERGY CONSERVATION OFFICE TO DEVELOP A PLAN, WHICH IS CALLED AN INVESTMENT RATE OR THE, WE HAVE A VISIBILITY'S MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE COMPONENTS SUCH AS HPAC LIGHTING THE ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, AS WELL AS WINDOW FILM.
AND THEY HAD THE ELEVATORS, UM, SEGO ENERGY CONSERVATION OFFICE REFER US TO A THIRD PARTY CONTRACTOR CARRIER, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE.
SO WE GOT THE ESTIMATED COST OF THE PROJECT AND QUITE FRANKLY, THE REVIEWED PROPOSAL LOOK LIKE ANY OF THE ENERGY SAVINGS THAT CAN BE MADE OVER THE 20 YEARS.
UM, BEING TRANSFERRED TO NECESSARY TO GET INTO THE FINANCING IS TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.
IT WAS ROUGHLY $970,000 IN FEES ON THE PROJECT IS WHAT THEY PROPOSE EVERYTHING FROM A 5% CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT FEE, PROBABLY $300,000, 170,000 FOR ENGINEERING, A 70 OR $80,000 ADMISSION FEE LONG.
AND THE SHORT OF IT IS W UH, I WANT TO GIVE YOU ONE GREAT EXAMPLE OF THEIR ESTIMATED COSTS, AS YOU RECALL, WHEN WE PURCHASED THE PLAUSIBILITY AND WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF REHABBING IT, WE HAD TO REPLACE FIVE ROOFTOP AIR CONDITIONING UNITS FROM OUR CONTRACTOR AND WAS METRO CONSTRUCTION WAS $80,000.
AND WE WENT OUT AND WE DID IT SEPARATELY AND HAD OUR OWN, OUR OWN SUBCONTRACTOR TO PUT THE FIVE YEARS ON FOR $40,000.
SO WHEN THIS COMPANY, THE SECRET OVERMOUNTAIN IS, UH, ESTIMATED THE COST OF REPLACING THE OTHER FIVE ROOFTOP UNITS ON THE PLAZA PAUL'S HAS NUMEROUS ROOFTOP UNITS.
THEY ESTIMATED ANOTHER FIVE UNITS.
THEIR ESTIMATED COST WAS 450,000.
AND SO WHEN I QUESTIONED THEM ABOUT THIS, THEY SAID, WELL, WE ALWAYS, UM, UH, ALWAYS ASSUME THAT IT'S GOING TO BE HIGHER.
AND I SAID, WELL, EXPECT IT TO BE LOWER.
AND MY RESPONSE TO THEM IS I UNDERSTAND, BUT 20% ON TOP OF WHAT YOU THINK SOMETHING IS FOR CONTINGENCIES, BUT TENFOLD PRICE INCREASE DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT TO ME.
AND OF COURSE THERE, THEY ALL HAVE THEIR FEES.
BASED ON THE ESTIMATED PROJECT, THEY ESTIMATE THE TOTAL REHAB OF THIS BUILDING WAS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $4 MILLION.
WE THINK IT CAN BE KIND OF HALF SO LONG.
THE SHORTER THAT THIS ITEM HAS YOUR PERMISSION TO GO OUT AND DO AN RFQ.
THE DRAFT THAT YOU SEE IN YOUR PACKET WAS, WAS, UH, FORMALLY AFFILIATED TO SICO DRAFT THAT RF QUEUE.
HE SAYS HE WILL SEND IT OUT TO ALL OF HIS ENGINEERS AND HIS COLLEAGUES IN THE INDUSTRY.
AS WE POSTED IT, WE BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN MANAGE THE PROJECT HERSELF, GET OUR OWN ENGINEERS TO DO THE INVESTMENT RIGHT ON IT.
AND I THINK WE'LL SHAVE A LOT OF COST OFF OF THERE OFF OF THE OTHER VENDORS.
I DO NOT HAVE A VALUE FOR YOU BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT THE COST WILL BE.
AND WE'LL ALSO HAVE TO DECIDE WHETHER WE WANT TO MANAGE YOUR PROJECT.
AS WE HAVE A VENDOR FROM JLL, UH, THAT DID THIS REHAB HERE IN OUR UPGRADES AND TINDER GROUP, IT'S ENTITLED, ONLY CHARGE 3% IN TALKING TO MR. TAYLOR.
SO I WOULD GUESSTIMATE THAT THE COST COULD BE ANYWHERE FROM $50,000.
YOU'RE NOT BEING INVESTMENT RIGHT ON IT.
AND ALL THE WAY UP TO A RANGE OF SAY 150,000, IF WE HAVE TO DO ALL OF THE ENGINEERING PROJECT MANAGEMENT THAT MIGHT BE ASSOCIATED WITH ALL RIGHT.
SO BASICALLY WE'RE JUST ASKING TO GO OUT FOR THE RFQ.
YOU'LL BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD, RIGHT.
UM, WE WOULD LIKE TO ENTER INTO THE CONTRACT WITH IT AS SOON AS WE CAN.
I WILL TELL YOU PRESSING ISSUE WITH ELEVATORS.
THEY HAVE TO BE, THEY HAVE TO BE BROUGHT UP TO CODE BY JUNE ONE, UH, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT CURRENTLY MEET SAFETY STANDARDS BECAUSE OF THEIR ANTIQUATED EQUIPMENT THAT IS BURNED OUT PARTIALLY THE LONGER MAY OF THE ISSUE IS THAT WHEN YOU INSERT THE KEY TO BE CALLED THE ELEVATORS FIRE, THEY DON'T DO THAT BECAUSE THAT DECENT PREMISE BURNED OUT OF THIS.
SO WE WOULD LIKE TO GET UP AND RUNNING BECAUSE WE GOT TO GET THIS OUT TO GET THIS ELEMENT OR PROJECT UNDERWAY AND WORKING.
[01:25:01]
THERE A, NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT THAT YOU COULD, THAT YOU COULD LIVE WITH THAT WE CAN PUT IN THIS MOTION? I BELIEVE, UH, I GUESS WE WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK TO YOU THAT EXCEEDED THAT IS REALLY A WILD GUESS ON MY HEART, BUT I WOULD CERTAINLY ESTIMATE THE HIGH END AND ONE 50, IF WORK WAS WILLING TO, THAT WOULD GIVE US A LITTLE CUSHION.SO WE GET DOWN TO, OKAY, SO AS YOU GET INTO THIS, AND SO IF YOU GET INTO THIS AND THEN YOU FIND OUT THAT THE CITY MAY REQUIRE YOU TO DO OTHER THINGS ALSO, BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PULL PERMITS IN ORDER TO DO THIS.
WHAT'S YOUR FIRE, WHAT'S YOUR FAR SYSTEM, UH, HATE TO BRING THAT UP, BUT THE SYSTEM IS GOOD TO GO.
WE HAD A HUGE BATTLE IN PURCHASING THE BUILDING THAT YOU RECALL.
WE HAD ISSUES WITH THE FIRE PUMPS AND THAT'S ALL BEEN INSPECTED.
OUR, OUR SPRINKLER SYSTEM HAS PASSED JUST RECENTLY.
THE ONLY ISSUE AS FAR AS KNOWLEDGE IS THE ELEVATORS THAT WE CALL FEATURE THAT WE JUST CANNOT EVEN GET TO THE BARS WITHOUT BASICALLY BUILDING.
I'M JUST CHECKING BECAUSE YOU'RE ALL FADERS ARE NEW COMPARED TO MINE.
UM, UNFORTUNATELY PART ISSUE, THEY JUST NOT MAKING THE PARTS.
JOHN TIRE SAT ON, SHUT ON IT, FLATBED, UM, TRYING TO GET ELECTED AND FIFTIES EARLY SIXTIES, WHATEVER WAS DIANE 19 60, 19 60, 19 60.
THOSE ELEVATORS WERE PUT IN ABOUT THAT TIME, SO, OKAY.
I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO GO OUT FOR A MOVE, NOT TO EXCEED 200,000.
SECOND, SECOND BY MAYOR DAILY ON ANY MORE DISCUSSION HEARING, NONE.

26 CONSIDER AND ACT UPON RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE AND SUBMIT PUBLIC COMMENTS AND RESPONSE TO THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION'S REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF GUIDANCE FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE DEPLOYMENT LOUD.GOOD MORNING, MR. CHAIRMAN AND BOARD MEMBERS ALL THE MORNING, ONLINE HEALTH STETLER, NATURAL RESOURCES, PROJECT COORDINATOR.
SO I'M AFFORDING YOU IS SIMPLY A COMMENT LETTER TO THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION RESPONSE TO AN RFI RELEASED A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, IT'S BEEN IN DEVELOPMENT OF GUIDANCE FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTS.
NORMALLY PRESENT THIS, I DUNNO FOR THE AIR QUALITY COMMITTEE FOR THEIR RECOMMENDATION.
UM, BUT DUE TO THE TIMING OF THIS CONDUCT PERIOD OR THE NATURE OF TODAY'S AIR QUALITY MEETING, I THINK JUST SAYS DIRECT PASSAGE BEFORE THE BOARD AT THIS TIME.
I JUST WANT TO START WITH SOME BACKGROUND THOUGH.
UM, NOVEMBER THE INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT IN JOBS HACK WAS ENACTED, UH, AMONG THE MANY PROVISIONS OF THAT.
BILL ARE TWO PROGRAMS IN PARTICULAR, THE DEBATE IS SEEKING COMMON FOR ONE OF THOSE PROGRAMS IS ACTUALLY TITLED EASY CHARGING PROGRAM.
IT'S A FORMULA GRANT TO THE STATES, BUT THE STATES MUST DEMONSTRATE READINESS TO RECEIVE THIS FUNDING BY DEVELOPING AND SUBMITTING OUR PLAN WITH HEALTH TO SPEND THOSE SLOTS.
EACH OF THIS YEAR, IT'S GOING TO BE A $5 BILLION DISTRIBUTION OVER THE COURSE OF FIVE YEARS, 1 BILLION EACH YEAR, AND THE STATES MUST INVEST STRATEGICALLY DEPLOY THE CHARGING AND ESTABLISH INTERCONNECTED NETWORK AMONG THESE CHARGERS, UM, TO, UM, UH, SUPPORT FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THE NETWORK.
THE FEDERAL SHARE OF THIS PROGRAM IS EXPECTED TO BE ON NO MORE THAN 80% OF THE FUNDS FOR THIS PROGRAM MAY BE USED TO CONTRACT WITH IT RIGHT NEXT TO T FOR THE ACQUISITION AND INSTALLATION OF THE WOMEN.
THE SECOND PROGRAM IS DISCHARGING AND FUELING INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM, COMPETITIVE GRANTS.
THIS ONE IS $2.5 BILLION OVER FIVE YEARS STARTING AT 300 MILLION AND THEN INCREASING BY A HUNDRED MILLION EACH YEAR.
AFTER THAT, LIKE THE PREVIOUS PROGRAM, THE FEDERAL SHARE IS EXPECTED TO BE 80%
[01:55:01]
PUBLIC ENTITIES WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS PROGRAM.I INTERESTED THAT THEY CAUGHT ME IN A POSITION TO RECEIVE SOME OF THIS FUNDING WITH THE KEY POINT OF THIS PROGRAM IS THAT, UH, ED CHARGING IS, UH, DEVELOPING A LONG DESIGNATED ALTERNATIVE FUEL CORD.
WHAT IS THAT? IT'S NOT JUST AN ELECTRIC VEHICLES ELIGIBLE FOR THIS PROGRAM IS ON ANY ALTERNATIVE FIELDS AS WELL.
SO THERE'S RFI ASKING FOR COMMENTS REGARDING 12 DIFFERENT STATUTORY CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE PROGRAM.
AND WE'RE PROVIDING COMMENTS RELATED TO FIVE OF THOSE.
AND I'LL SUMMARIZE IT REAL QUICK.
WE WANT TO MAINTAIN THE EXISTING REQUIREMENT FOR DISTANCE BETWEEN EACH CHARGERS THAT THE CURRENT CORY WARS PROGRAM HAS SILVER OR MAINTAIN.
DO YOU WANT TO RESTRICT GRANTS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY DEFINING CORRIDORS THAT HAVE BEEN HIGHLY SATURATED WITH, WITH THE CHARGERS SALINE AND YUKON BROS? WE WANT TO TARGET AREAS THAT ARE CURRENTLY UNDERSERVED, ESPECIALLY RURAL.
DO YOU WANT ME TO SEND NOBODY'S USING IT? YOU TALKED TO SAID MAYBE YOU DON'T HAVE AS MUCH OF A BURDEN ON THE GRID.
MAYBE IF THEY ACCOMPANY SOLAR PANELS THAT WOULD PERHAPS GET A LITTLE BIT MORE MONEY THAT WE WANT TO ALLOW FOR FLEXIBILITY FOR APPLICANTS TO COME UP WITH THEIR PORTION OF THE COST SHARE.
IT'S ONLY 20% THAT SOMETIMES IS VERY EXPENSIVE.
SO IF WE'RE WANTING TO TARGET UNDER CERTAINLY THESE PDS AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY THAT THEY NEED TO COME UP WITH THAT COST HERE AND THEN REQUIRE A MINUTE TO FIND THEIR OPERATION SO THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A LONG-TERM INVESTMENT AND NOT JUST A ONE-SHOT THING.
AND THEN WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SECURITY OF THE NETWORK IS, YOU KNOW, MAINTAINED IMPORTANT BY CONCLUDING PROGRAM PROVISIONS, REVISIONS, SORRY, PROVISIONS FIRST CYBER SECURITY, AND THE MAINTAINING A PERSONAL I CAN TO KEEP THAT ANONYMOUS.
THEN FINALLY WE RECOMMEND THAT NEW BALL FIELD CONTINUE TO BE PERMITTED TO DO DESIGNATED UNDER THE EXISTING CORRIDOR WHERE THE PROGRAM EVEN DOES THIS PROGRAM.
UH, THIS THERE'S REALLY NO GUIDANCE OR CLARITY AS TO WHAT'S HAD HAPPENED.
IF WE CAN ALL FEEL BOARD ORDERS THAT WE'VE REQUESTED THAT GET FLESHED OUT A LITTLE BIT.
SO JUST TO SUMMARIZE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS MONEY BECOMING AVAILABLE AND AUGUST AND THE LEVERAGE IT'S, UM, IT'S, UH, OPERATION OF THE POLICE THAT THESE PROGRAMS ARE REALLY KIND OF LEVERAGE THOSE CONNECTIONS AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DISTRIBUTING THE MONEY IN SUCH A WAY THAT REALLY ALL ELEMENTS, UM, THE NETWORK IS ATTACHED.
ALL RIGHT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
I MAKE A MOTION, COMMON LETTER MOTION BY MAYOR WILLIAMS. SECOND SECOND BY MR. VASQUEZ.
AND THEN IN DISCUSSION ONE QUESTION OR QUESTIONER, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY ELSE SAW IT.
IT WAS AN INTERVIEW WITH ELON MUSK.
HE GAVE US KIND OF INPUT ON HOW HE THOUGHT GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF THE FUNDING CREATION OF THESE CHARGING STATIONS REALLY IMPACTED NEGATIVELY.
UM, JUST KINDA, I MEAN, FREE, FREE ECONOMY AND, UH, ENTERPRISE AND THE ABILITY FOR INDIVIDUALS THAT WANT TO START A BUSINESS TO CREATE THEIR OWN CHARGING STATIONS.
DIDN'T SAY IT WAS A BAD THING OVERALL.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT CHALLENGE.
I, I MEAN, I SUPPORT THE ADVANCEMENT OF THESE NATIONS AND WHAT IT CAN SEE US THAT TO THE COMMUNITY, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I FEEL, I DON'T KNOW THAT WE AS A GROUP THINK VERY OFTEN IF IT'S OVERREACHING, YOU KNOW, WE ACCEPT THE PHONE FROM THREE OF THE PROGRAM AND WE GO, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF WE REALLY THINK THROUGH THE PROCESS AND SEE HOW THAT IMPACTS OTHERS, THAT COULD HAVE STARTED HER OWN BUSINESS AND IT COULD HAVE PROPPED UP MAYBE GROWTH IN OTHER AREAS, AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN CREATED ON ITS OWN AS OPPOSED TO THE GOVERNMENT.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE SITUATIONS OR, OR NOT, BUT THERE'S SOMETHING OR FALLING FROM BUSINESSES.
I MEAN, TAKE YOUR THINKING WHILE WITH MORE OF A PARTNERSHIP, AS OPPOSED TO KIND OF OVER REACHING, WE'RE GOING TO CONTROL HOW, HOW THIS IS DONE.
IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE BOTH WITH THE STATE EXERTING MOST OF CONTROL OVER THAT FUNDING.
I HAVE A QUESTION, IS THIS A COGS INTENT TO SUPPORT THE RURAL GROWTH OF THIS? IS IT ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION? IS IT FOCUSED ON SUPPORT? CAUSE I MEAN, THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO STRETCH OUT TO RURAL IF THERE'S NOT A FOCUS DEVELOPMENT.
SO PERSONALLY I'M LOOKING AT KIND OF GREATER SOUTH TEXAS, NOT JUST THE AYCOCK REGION.
[02:00:01]
CERTAINLY THE APAC REGION AND NOT JUST RURAL IN NATURE THAT THE BENEFITS ARE GOING TO KIND OF NOT BUILD REDUNDANCY.YEAH, I, AND THIS IS JUST A COMMENT ON THE TECHNICAL SIDE.
YOU KNOW, WE'RE SEEING THESE THINGS POP UP AROUND SAN ANTONIO, UH, AND THEY WILL CONTINUE TO GROW AROUND THIS, IN THIS METRO AREA, BUT I'VE GOT A CONCERN TECHNICALLY THAT OUR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, I E CPS IS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT A WHOLESALE INSTALLATION OF THESE CHARGING STATIONS, BECAUSE IT DOES PUT A BIG BURDEN ON THE DISTRIBUTION NETWORK.
AND I'M NOT, THAT'S MY CONCERN ABOUT THE OVERALL EVIE CHARGING STATIONS THAT ARE LOOKING AT BEING INSTALLED AROUND THIS AREA AND OTHERS AS WELL.
IT'S NOT JUST A MATTER OF PLUGGING IN, AND THERE'S SOME, A LOT OF TECHNICAL ISSUES THAT GO ALONG WITH THIS ALSO YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
I DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS OF THE ENTIRE HILL, BUT I KNOW THAT THERE ARE PROVISIONS IN THE BROADER IEG.
I WOULD LOVE TO VISIT WITH YOU OFFLINE ABOUT IT.
THAT IS SOMETHING DONE THAT WHEN CPS IS WATCHING THE INCREASE IN DEMAND IS GOING TO BE SIGNIFICANT, RIGHT.
[27. Consider and act upon the recommendation to release a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Audiovisual Technology and Security Camera System, and to authorize the Executive Director to enter into agreement with selected vendor in an amount not to exceed $200,000. This does not require a budget amendment. – Tom Logan]
CONSIDER NECK UPON RELEASE.UH, UH, HAVE A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR AUDIO VISUAL TECHNOLOGY AND SECURITY CAMERA SYSTEM AND AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT SELECTED WITH A SELECTED VENDOR AND THEN MOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $200,000.
THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE A BUDGET AMENDMENT, TOM, GOOD MORNING, AND NOT BOARD MEMBERS ON BOTH THE TRANSPORTATION DIRECTOR.

OR SO WE'RE BRINGING THIS ITEM BACK TO YOU WITH A REQUEST TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT.
AND, UM, THAT IS, UM, RELEASE AN RFP TO GET PROPOSALS FROM DIFFERENT VENDORS.
MR. CHAIRMAN, IF I CAN SUPPLEMENT THAT JUST A LITTLE BIT PREVIOUSLY, YOU ALL APPROVE THE AMOUNT OF 175,000.
WHEN WE RELEASED THE RFPS, THE RESULTS THAT CAME BACK WERE ABOUT 200,000.
SO WE DIDN'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO THE CONTRACTS BECAUSE IT EXCEEDED THE AMOUNT.
SO WE CAME BACK AND MY SUGGESTION IS THAT CONSIDERING THE ENVIRONMENT, WE'VE GOT THOSE CODES IN SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, THAT WE INCREASED THE ALLOWABLE AMOUNT TO 225,000.
SO 200 IS WRITTEN IN OUR PROPOSAL, BUT I'M CONCERNED THAT IN THIS ENVIRONMENT, THAT'S NOT ENOUGH.
SO WE WOULD REQUEST APPROVAL NOT TO EXCEED 225,000.
WHEN WE GO BACK OUT AGAIN, THIS TIME THE FUNDING IS AVAILABLE IN THE BUDGET.
ALL RIGHT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO THAT EFFECT.
MR. HASS WALKER, MAYOR BILLY ON FOR A SECOND.
ANY DISCUSSION HEARING NONE ALL IN FAVOR.
THE MOTION MOTION PASSES FOR RFP NOT TO EXCEED 225,000.
[28. Consider and act upon the recommendation to authorize the Executive Director to accept funding in the amount of $190,615.00 for the capital assistance program for Elderly and Persons with Disabilities from FTA’s CRRSAA Section 5310 program through VIA.

UH, WE RECEIVED THE INTERNAL AGREEMENT FROM DATA, UM, CLASS REEF RAISE THE FUNDS TO OUR PROGRAM, TO RUN SERVICE IN THE AREA AND ALSO TO HIRE STAFF FOR MOBILITY MANAGEMENT AND TO DO COORDINATION OF OUR DIFFERENT SERVICES, EITHER COMMUNITY, UM, WE REQUEST RULE.
[02:05:04]
MOTION BY MR. VASQUEZ.ANY OPPOSED MOTION PASSES? DO WE NEED TO SEVENTH INNING STRETCH HERE? OH, OKAY.
[29. Consider and act upon the recommendation to authorize the Executive Director to apply and accept funding in the approximate amount of $4,700,000.00 for capital, planning, and operating assistance from TxDOT Coordinated Call for Projects. This item will need an amendment to the FY22 budget. – Tom Logan]
29 CONSIDERED AN ACTIVE ON RECOMMENDATION TO AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO APPLY AND ACCEPT FUNDING.AND THEN APPROXIMATE AMOUNT OF $4.7 MILLION FOR CAPITAL PLANNING AND OPERATING ASSISTANCE FROM TXDOT COORDINATED CALL FOR PROJECTS.
THERE'S ITEM WE'LL NEED AN AMENDMENT TO THE BUDGET, TOM.
YES, WE ARE REQUESTING APPROVAL TO SUBMIT A PROPOSAL, A PROPOSAL TO TEXT FOR THEIR CALL FOR PROJECTS, OPPORTUNITIES FOR FUNDING SOURCES.
AND WE HAVE CREATED A REALLY GOOD CONCEPTUAL PROJECT.
OUR FIRST PROJECT IS, UH, THE KERRVILLE MULTIMODAL TERMINAL RENOVATION PROJECT.
THIS FACILITY WILL FEEL BACK IN 2003 AND IT HAS BEEN IN SERVICE SINCE, AND, UH, IT'S IN NEED OF A REHABILITATION.
SO WE WERE PROPOSING TO DO A COMPLETE RENOVATION OF THE ROOF, THE CEILING, THE WALLS, THE HVAC SYSTEM, PARKING RESTROOMS FURNITURE, AND, UH, THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING.
WE DEFINITELY WANT TO DO A FIGHT IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING TO CREATE A MORE ATTRACTIVE, MORE VISIBLE.
IT IS ON A SIDE STREET AND IT'S HARD TO SEE PROBABLY LESS.
SO WE DEFINITELY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PUT A BILLBOARD BILLBOARDS.
WE BRING AT LEAST ONE WOULD BE HERE AND ALSO MAKE IT MORE USER FRIENDLY FOR THE CLIENT BUSINESS.
UH, UH, ALSO ADDING A PARKING GARAGE, A MAINTENANCE GARAGE FOR OUR FEET, BEING THAT IT'S 60 MILES AWAY FROM US MAINTAINING THAT FLEET OUT THERE MAKES A LOT OF SENSE SO THAT WE LEAVE ANY BULLET AND TIME GAMES.
HUMANS ARE UPGRADING OUR SOFTWARE AND ONBOARD THE SYSTEM EARLY.
WE DO HAVE CAMERA SYSTEMS IN OUR BUSES AND WHAT'S THAT WE USED TO REVIEW OR DO A ASSESSMENT OF THE DRIVING CONDITIONS OF OUR STAFF.
THEY HAVE TO GO OUT TO THE FIELD AND, UM, TRACK THAT, UM, RECORDING DEVICE.
SO THEY GIVE YOU IT BACK AT THE OFFICE WITH THIS SOFTWARE, THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO EVERYTHING ONLINE AND ALL WE RETRACT FOOTAGE FROM THE VIDEO CAMERA, BUT ALSO MONITOR THE DRIVERS.
AND ALSO THE SYSTEM WILL TELL US IF THERE'S A MALFUNCTION ON, ON THE SYSTEM.
UH, SO WE FEEL THAT, UH, UPGRADE THEM TO THIS NEUTRAL, UM, MODEL FROM THE VENDOR WILL GO A BIG DIFFERENCE SUPPORT STAFF AND THE WAY THAT WE RUN RESERVES EFFICIENCY WILL DECREASE.
WE'RE ALSO REPLACING 20 DVRS ON 20 DIFFERENT VEHICLES THAT HAVE A OUTDATED MODEL MODEL.
AND WHAT WE HAVE DO TO, FOR ME TO GET ACROSS OUR FLEET WITH THE SAME DVR AND CAPABILITIES.
OUR NEXT PROJECT IS THEY'RE TRYING TO TRAIN SOFTWARE CURRENTLY, WE'RE UTILIZING A FREE TRAINING, UM, TIGERS, BUT IT DOESN'T INCLUDE ANY AUDIO OR VISUAL, UM, VIDEOS, UM, FOR TRAINING.
SO THIS IS USED ACROSS OUR INDUSTRY IN THE NATION, UH, IS CERTIFIED NOT ONLY THE TRAINER, UM, LEADERSHIP TOO, AND ALSO IT CERTIFIES THE DRIVERS AND IT GIVES AN OPPORTUNITY TO HIRE A DRIVER WITH CDL.
WE CAN TRAIN AND REFER TO THAT DRIVER FOR A CDL LICENSE SO WE CAN CREATE THAT CAREER GROWTH FOR THEM.
OUR NEXT PROJECT IS OUR MAINTENANCE FACILITY ARCHITECTURAL WITH ENGINEERING ART, WE'RE FOLLOWING THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS FROM CONSULTANTS.
UM, BACK IN 2013, UH, WE HIRED A TEAM OF CONSULTANTS TO CREATE A VISIBILITY STUDY, TO SEE IF THEY WILL BE WISE TO BRING OUR MAINTENANCE.
WE BROUGHT OUR SOURCING A HUNDRED PERCENT OF OUR LANDS.
AND, UM, THROUGH THAT REPORT IT WAS STATED THAT YES IS A VIABLE PROJECT.
WE WILL GET A BETTER CONTROL OF OUR FLEET, UM, BUT THAT OUR INVESTMENT AND RETURN ON INVESTMENT.
SO WE'RE JUST FOLLOWING WITH THAT.
THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY WE'LL BE THE FIRST FACE.
NUMBER ONE OF THIS INSTRUCTION PROVIDES A SERVICE EXPANSION SERVICE EXPANSION.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH OUR PARTNERS, THE NATURAL CARTS AND
[02:10:01]
THE DIFFERENT MPLS, UH, CERTAIN VODKA, UM, INSTRUMENTATION COMMISSION AND HENRY, WHERE WE'D BE NOW, THAT'S GOING ON CREATING A SERVICE BETWEEN AUSTIN AND SAN ANTONIO, UH, STAFF.WE HAVE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER WITH AVAILABLE AVAILABLE ROUTES, STRUCTURE, A TIMETABLE OF BUDGET, AND HE PERFORMANCE INDICATORS TO SEE IF IT'S A VIABLE PROJECT.
SO THAT AT THE END OF THE PILOT, THROUGH YOUR PILOT PROJECT, WE'LL SEE, WE CAN SEE WHERE THAT SERVICE AND OR WE LEAVE THE SERVERS, WILTON MAC, UH, AUSTIN, SOME ARTICLES, YOU BROUGHT SCHOOLS AND, UH, THE ROUNDEL VITALS, A PARKING LOT HERE IN SAN ANTONIO.
UM, WHY RAMBLE? BECAUSE RONALD HAS 10 ROUTES THAT LEO WANTS FROM THAT CENTER.
UM, THEY HAVE EXPRESS ROUTES, REGULAR ROUTES.
THEY HAVE THEIR MICRO TRANSIT AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN RESPONSIVE.
AND THERE'S ALSO TAXI SERVICES AVAILABLE ALONG WITH PLENTY OF PARKING.
SO WE FEEL THAT THAT SERVICING TO DOWNTOWN SAN ANTONIO NOW THE MANDATE OF THE FUTURE CALLS, WHERE THAT SUGGESTED, UM, SERVICE EXPANSION, NUMBER TWO CALLS FOR SERVICE FROM FRASERBURGH, UM, OUR TERMINAL IN KERRVILLE TO GROWING AND TO SAN ANTONIO.
AGAIN, OUR PARKING RIGHT ON THE MORE SITE ON ITS OWN.
UM, WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED A, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF A LONG TIME.
WE RECEIVE A LOT OF REQUESTS FROM THE PUBLIC THAT THIS SERVICE IS STILL NEEDED.
SO WE WANT TO PROPOSE TO THE STATE THAT THEY DO WITH THE OPERATIONAL FUNDS.
THEY GAVE THE FUNDING FOR TWO COACHES AND, UM, MARKETING FUNDS SO THAT WE CAN PROMOTE THIS AND MAKE AN AWARENESS MAPPING OF THIS NEW SERVICE AND THIRD COMING UP FOR YOUR DRIVE AND GO THROUGH BANDERA AND SYDNEY GO AT 10, ESPECIALLY GOING 16, PLEASE ARE ON FEBRUARY 4TH.
SO WE'RE GOING TO BE VERY BUSY PUTTING TOGETHER THOSE PROPOSALS, UM, SOFTWARE.
I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION OR DENNIS A SECOND.
SECOND BY MAYOR WILLIAMS. I GOT A QUESTION.
ANY DISCUSSION MR. PERRY? YES, SIR.
UM, OUT OF THAT 4.7 MILLION, I THINK A 4.7 MILLION.
UM, HOW MUCH, UH, HOW HAS THAT BEING SPLIT BETWEEN THESE PROJECTS? AND I'M SORRY, WE SHOULD'VE HAD THAT IN THE WRITTEN MATERIAL AND I APOLOGIZE THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT.
IF YOU COULD JUST SEND THAT OUT AND PLUS I'D ALSO REALLY LIKE TO SEE THAT STUDY THAT'S RECOMMENDING US BRING THE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM IN HOUSE.
UM, I THINK THAT INTEREST IS ALL YES, YES.
UH, IS THAT DOCUMENT THAT DISABILITY STUDY AND ALSO OUR ORIGINAL PLAN IS UPDATED ALSO FINDING TOO MANY CONSULTANTS, VERY DEEP HINTING ON THAT.
SO YES, WE PROVIDE THOSE DOCUMENTS.
MR. CHAIR, THANK YOU FOR THE REPORT, MR. LOGAN, DIANE, IS THERE, UH, A REPORT THAT SHOWS WHAT THE RIDERSHIP IS OR WHO REPRESENTS KERRVILLE AT THIS TABLE? OH, OKAY.
HOW HAS THIS PROBABLY BEEN WORKING FOR YOU? WORKED OKAY.
WELL, DIANE, YOU CAN GIVE US THE, WELL, WE, WE, WE DON'T HAVE THE MODELING ON THAT.
WE KNOW WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT REQUESTS FOR SERVICE COMING IN.
WE DESPERATELY NEED THE ROUTE BETWEEN FREDERICKSBURG AND KERRVILLE.
UM, I'M SORRY, JEFF STRAYER ISN'T HERE, BUT AS WE ALL KNOW, EX CUR UH, PRODUCTIVITY IS KIND OF, SO IT'S GOTTEN SO EXPENSIVE TO LIVE IN.
AND SO MOST OF THEIR WORKERS ARE COMMUTING FROM HER AND AROUND THAT AREA OVER.
SO WE'VE NEEDED THAT FOR SOME TIME.
UH, AND WE'VE HAD NUMEROUS REQUESTS TO CONNECT KERRVILLE TO ERNIE.
AND THEN THE MAYOR, MAYOR HANDWRITTEN IS VERY INTERESTED IN CONNECTING BERNIE TO THE UTS, A PARK AND RIDE.
SO THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAPPEN.
THE GRANT FUNDING FOR A DEMONSTRATION PROJECT IT'S NOT BEEN AVAILABLE BEFORE.
SO IT GIVES US THAT OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY ESTABLISH THE ROUTE AND TO DETERMINE IF THERE IS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE AND IT'S SUFFICIENT DEMAND AND BACKUP, AND I DON'T REQUEST.
SO IT WILL ALLOW US TO PROVE THAT CONCEPT, WHICH IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE AUSTIN SAN ANTONIO CONCEPT.
I HAVE TO SAY WE'VE BEEN WORKING VERY, VERY HARD AND I HAVE TO THANK OUR PARTNERS AT FIA AND OUR COUNTERPART
[02:15:01]
IN AUSTIN WITH KART AND OUR VAS COUNTERPART WITH CAP METRO IN AUSTIN, IN ADDITION TO BOTH MPOS CAUSE WE'VE BEEN WORKING VERY HARD, UH, AFTER WE RECEIVED A REQUEST IN OCTOBER, UH, FROM A SENATE FROM SECRETARY CISNEROS TO REALLY LOOK AT ESTABLISHING PUBLIC TRANSIT.AND SO YOU HAVE THE SEVENTH LARGEST CITY AND AUSTIN BARELY BE THE 10TH LARGEST CITY, 70 MILES APART.
AND THE ONLY THING CONNECTING THEM IS 35 PIECES, 2 81.
AND AT LEAST IN OUR LIFETIMES, WE WON'T HAVE A RAIL, UM, UH, BECAUSE OF ALL THE ASSOCIATED ISSUES WITH THAT.
SO LOOKING AT HAVING PUBLIC TRANSIT.
SO, UH, WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL THAT HART HAD THE, UH, 40 PASSENGER BUSES AVAILABLE.
UM, WE REALLY LOOKING AT LONG-TERM FUNDING AVAILABLE FOR THE EACH RESPECTIVE MPO UNDER CATEGORY SEVEN, BUT THOSE FUNDS ARE OBLIGATED AND NOT AVAILABLE IN THE SHORT TERM.
SO THIS WOULD ALLOW US TO DO THAT, UH, UH, DEMONSTRATION PROJECT ON, ON THAT ROUTE ALSO.
AND IT GOES FROM THE PARK AND RIDES ON SOUTHERN AUSTIN, UH, DOWN TO AN EXISTING FACILITY IN SAN MARCUS, CAUSE CAR CURRENTLY SERVES AUSTIN TO SAN MARCUS.
SO THERE'S AN EXISTING FACILITY THERE IN THE COLLEGE.
AND THEN WORKING WITH DUKE BRONCOS, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE CITY OF NEW BRAUNFELS AND THEIR, UH, CITY MANAGERS, UH, SIGNIFICANTLY AT MET WITH COMMISSIONER WEBB AT THE MPO, REALLY WANTED THAT FACILITY TO BE ON THE WEST SIDE OF 35.
NEW BRAUNFELS IS DEVELOPING A, UH, THEIR VISITOR CENTER IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONDITION CENTER, HOLDING AMENITIES, JUST LIKE SAN MARCUS DOES.
SO IT'S A VERY NICE FACILITY WITH ADEQUATE PARKING AVAILABLE, THEN CONNECTING TO THE RANDOLPH PARK AND RIDE.
SO THEORETICALLY IT'S REALLY, REALLY GOOD.
YOU'RE JUST ASKED, UH, IDEALLY WE WOULD HAVE AN HOV LANE.
TXDOT DOES NOT HAVE UNDER THE CURRENT PLANS, HOPEFULLY THAT CHANGES WITH ALL THE MONEY COMING FROM WASHINGTON NOW, BUT CURRENTLY UNDER THE RESTRAINT FUNDING, THERE'S NOT A PLAN FOR AN HOV LANE, RIGHT? SAN ANTONIO, AUSTIN AT THE END OF SIX YEARS, THE HOV LANE THAT WE'LL GO TO JUST PAST, UH, THREE DOWN WILLOW NINE WILL BE AN EXISTENCE DOES PART OF IT.
BUT SENATOR MENENDEZ IS VERY INTERESTED IN PARENT, PERHAPS EXTREMELY TIGHT LOCAL BILL ALLOWING PUBLIC TRANSIT SYSTEMS, WHICH WOULD JUST BE US AND EMERGENCY VEHICLES TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE SHOULDER.
SO WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH THAT, BUT THAT IS A POSSIBILITY THAT HE'S VERY INTERESTED IN.
SO THAT'S REALLY THOSE TWO ROUTES.
UM, WHEN WE MET WITH, UH, TXDOT AND CHAIRMAN THUG ON MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY, WE HAD ABOUT 20, 25 PEOPLE FROM THE RESPECTIVE AGENCIES THAT MET TOGETHER THAT DAY.
AND HE DID REQUEST ADDITIONAL MONITORING INFORMATION, WHICH OUR CURRENT, UH, CONSULTANT IS DEVELOPING FOR US.
SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO INCLUDE THAT IN THE PROPOSAL.
SO WE DON'T HAVE THAT RIDERSHIP NUMBERS, BUT WE KNOW THAT, UH, AUSTIN TO SAN MARCUS, WHICH IS SITTING EXISTENCE HAS TREMENDOUS DEMAND IN THIS MEETING THAT, UH, FROM ALL THIS WAS THIS, THIS WAS THE RECOMMENDATION CONTAINED IN A STUDY ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, UH, THAT TECH STOCK DID HAVE THAT ROUTE AND IT RECOMMENDED THAT ALL THE PARTNERS GET TOGETHER, COLLABORATE DEVICE PLAN.
SO WE'VE DONE THAT AND, UM, WE JUST NEED THE FUNDING.
AND SO THIS GIVES US ONE OF A FEW AVENUES FOR POTENTIAL FUNDING.
SO THIS IS ONE AVENUE THAT WE ARE EXPLORING AT THIS TIME.
SO THAT'S A LOT OF INFORMATION.
I APOLOGIZE, BUT IT'S, I MEAN, OUR PARTNERS HAVE BEEN WONDERFUL AND I HAVE TO REALLY SALUTE TOM FOR HIS LEADERSHIP AND HIS COUNTERPART IN AUSTIN, DAVID MARSH FOR TREMENDOUS WORK IN COLLABORATION AND BRINGING THIS TOGETHER.
THEY HAVE, WE HAVE TO SCHEDULES THAT HAVE TIMES AND EVERYTHING.
SO IT'S READY TO ROLL FOR THOSE OF US WHO SIT ON THE AA NPO, ARE THEY PART OF THE CONVERSATION ON, UM, WE, UH, WE MET WITH BOTH THE CHAIRMAN AND WAS SAID, AND PRESENTED TO THEM.
THEY WERE REPRESENTED AT BOTH MEETINGS.
WE HAD A, BECAUSE LONG-TERM CATEGORY SEVEN WOULD BE THE APPROPRIATE FUNDING STREAM, BOTH THE MPOS, BUT Y'ALL HAVE A CALL FOR PROJECTS RIGHT NOW.
AND IT CAN'T GET IN THIS CURRENT BUDGET CYCLE.
SO THAT'S, WE'RE ASKING FOR, UH, A DEMONSTRATION GRANT, UH, FUNDING SO WE CAN PROVE THE CONCEPT.
I'M A HUGE BELIEVER IN PILOTS.
SOMETIMES PILOTS DON'T WORK AND IF IT DOESN'T WORK, IT DOESN'T WORK AND THEN IT WON'T COME BACK, BUT LONG-TERM, IF IT IS SUCCESSFUL AND THE CONCEPT IS PROVEN, THERE IS THE DEMAND THAT PEOPLE SPECULATE ABOUT.
THEN IT WOULD COME BACK TO THE MPO.
THE CHALLENGE IN THIS AREA FOR THOSE OF Y'ALL FAMILIAR WITH THE MPOS IS THAT FROM SAN ANTONIO TO AUSTIN IS AN URBANIZED AREA.
THAT'S ALL THE URBANIZED AREA.
[02:20:01]
TRANSIT SERVICES ARE NOT INTERESTED IN EXPANDING SERVICE OUTSIDE THEIR CURRENT SERVICE DELIVERY AREA.SO BOTH VIA IS NOT INTERESTED IN EXPANDING AND CAP.
METRO IS NOT INTERESTED IN EXPANDING.
SO IT'S FALLEN TO THE TWO RURAL TRANSITS TO REALLY FILL THAT GAP AND MAKE IT A REALITY.
SO THAT'S ONE OF THE CHALLENGES, UH, IN, IN BRINGING SERVICE TO THAT AREA THAT WAS WORK LONGTERM TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO COME IN AND TAKE OVER 20 YEARS, IF THEY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN.
SO DOING AND THEY ARE INTERESTED IN EXPANDING THEIR SERVICE AREA.
I'M SURE THAT THAT THE PARTNERSHIP WOULD VERY MUCH OPPORTUNITY.
I THOUGHT WE HIT, SO WE'VE GOT MAYOR DENNIS MAYOR WILLIAM ALL IN FAVOR.
[30. Annual Customer Service Survey Report - Miguel Segura]
NUMBER 30 IS ANNUAL CUSTOMER SERVICE SURVEY REPORT.SERIOUSLY, MIGUEL, YOU ARE BOARD MEMBERS EVERY JANUARY OR FEBRUARY RESULTS AND SOME SATISFACTION SURVEYS AND BEING AVAILABLE TO OUR RESIDENTS AND YOUR CONSTITUENTS TO LET US KNOW WE'RE PROVIDING.
SO TODAY I WILL JUST BRIEFLY GO OVER WITH YOU, OUR DISTRIBUTION, HOW THESE, UH, CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SURVEYS AND INDUSTRY SUMMARY RESULTS.
AND THEN WE'LL GET INTO THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE BEING ASKED JUST THROUGH YOUR, THROUGH YOUR KNOWLEDGE.
AND THESE ARE AVAILABLE IN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT WAYS, PROMINENTLY ON OUR WEBSITE, ON OUR WEBSITE, EACH ONE OF OUR EMPLOYEE SIGNATURES ASSESSMENT PROGRAM, AS A HYPERLINK, A LITTLE WORDY, ENCOURAGE THOSE TO LET US KNOW HOW WE'RE DOING.
WE DO HAVE PHYSICAL HARD COPIES AVAILABLE WITH ALL OF OUR INSURANCE AND PERCEPTION OF THAT.
UM, THE, I MEAN, I'M SORRY TO SAY THE TOWER, THE PLAZA AND OUR PUBLIC SAFETY DIVISIONS AS WELL.
AND WE HAVE A, QUITE A BIT OF EMPLOYEE THAT ACTUALLY GO OUT INTO THE FIELD AND WORK WITH OUR CLIENTS DIRECTLY.
AND THEY ALSO HAVE THE SNACK HARD COPIES AVAILABLE FOR THOSE TO CLOSE, AND THEN THEY'D BE WHATEVER SERVICES THEY MAY BE.
AND ALTHOUGH BACK HERE YOU SEE THE SUMMARY OF RESULTS.
UH, WE ARE PROUD TO SAY THAT IN COMPARISON TO 2020, THIS YEAR, WE DID MORE THAN DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF SURVEYS THAT WE HAVE RECORDED.
SO WE ARE JUST PAST THE 1200 MARCH.
SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
AS YOU SEE THIS GRAPH, WE HAVE SOME PROGRAMS THAT ARE DOING REALLY WELL FEEDBACK, ALL OF THESE TRIPLE DIGIT KIND OF NUMBERS, AND EVEN OUR WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE, THOSE ARE ALL GOING TO BE ON PUBLIC FACING PROGRAMS. SO THESE ARE BOATS THAT CLIENTS ARE GETTING SERVICES DIRECTLY.
SO IT'S VERY EASY FOR THEM, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY GET A GOOD SERVICE THAT THEY'VE BEEN ASKING FOR TO FILL OUT SOME OF THOSE, UH, SOME OF THOSE SURVEYS.
AND WE SEE SOME OF THE SINGLE DJS IN OUR FIELD SERVICES, 13, THAT'S OUR GOVERNMENT SERVING PROGRAMS. SO THOSE ARE THE FOLKS THAT MAYBE WORKSHOPS THAT WE HAVE, YOU ALL ATTEND, OR MAYBE SOME WEIRD DEPARTMENTAL LEADERSHIP.
SO THAT'S A FOCUS AREA OF THIS ONE IS HOW DO WE INCREASE THE FEEDBACK TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ACTUALLY PROVIDING A VALUE TO OUR MEMBER GOVERNMENTS AND IT'S ACTUALLY WORKSHOPS INTERNATIONAL MEETINGS AND WE ARE NOT PROVIDING.
AND HERE YOU CAN JUST SEE, I WON'T READ THROUGH ALL OF THESE QUESTIONS, BUT THESE ARE ALL OF THE QUESTIONS INCLUDED IN THESE CUSTOMERS AS FACTIONS OR AS ADVERSE TO UM, RELATE TO HOW WE READ THE TOP PRIORITIES.
WE ARE SO DIRECTLY RELATED TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THAT FIRST INITIAL INTRODUCTORY PHASE WITH A, WITH AN INTERACTION AND A, THE REMAINING QUESTIONS ARE ALL HAVING A OH YES.
SO WE'RE AT THE 98 33 98, 1 49 IN TERMS OF CUSTOMER SERVICE.
AND THEN, UH, THE REMAINING QUESTIONS ARE RELATED TO HOW WE'RE DOING, HOW WE'RE FOLLOWING UP.
DID WE ACTUALLY MEET YOUR NEEDS SURVEYS? ARE YOU OVERALL SATISFIED WITH THESE? AND AGAIN, WE'RE A LITTLE BIT LOWER 97.6.
WE'RE ABOUT 97 AND A HALF AVERAGING.
UH, IT'S NOTHING TOO ALARMING.
UH, ALL OF THESE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SURVEYS THAT WE RECEIVE, ANYTHING FROM THEM PERSONALLY, AND I CONTACT CLIENTS WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT ISSUE IS RESOLVED AND TO UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED NEXT.
[02:25:01]
NEED TO HAVE THE PROGRAM LEADS TO ENSURE THAT WE REMEDY THAT SITUATION.SO IT'S HAD A GREAT IMPACT OVER THE YEARS.
THE STUDENT IS LET US, UH, STAY AHEAD OF THE CURVE IN TERMS OF CATCHING TRENDS AND PATTERNS OF REALLY GOOD SERVICE WE'RE PROVIDING.
IT'S SO MANY THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING, RIGHT.
AND SOME THINGS THAT WE HAVE OPPORTUNITIES.
AND SO THEY'VE BEEN VERY BENEFICIAL AS MANAGEMENT TEAM.
WE ALL GET TOGETHER EVERY QUARTER.
I'M LOOKING AT THESE, MY DEPARTMENT, LISTEN TO THESE AS THEY'RE COMING IN.
SO WE'RE STAYING ON TOP OF THOSE AND WE'RE LEARNING THINGS EVERY DAY.
AND, UH, WITH THAT, I WANT YOU TO GO BACK ONE SLIDE BECAUSE I AM EXTREMELY PROUD OF THE QUALITY OF SERVICE THAT OUR FOLKS ARE DELIVERING.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, 98 POINT 33 98 POINT 49, 97 POINT 66 97 POINT 49, 97 0.4, WITH THE LOWEST ONE BEING, ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH THE SERVICE? AND THAT'S 97 POINT 26%.
I'LL PUT THOSE SCORES ADVOCATES TO ANYBODY, ANY PLACE.
SO I REALLY WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE WORK THEY DO AND COMPLIMENT MIGUEL FOR DEVELOPING IT AND IMPLEMENTING IT AND STAYING ON TOP OF IT BECAUSE ANYONE THAT'S THAT'S LOWER, NEUTRAL OR BELOW, HE TALKS TO.
SO IT'S NOT LIKE YOU, YOU GET A FORM LETTER OR A FORM RESPONSE WHEN YOU FILL OUT THAT BLANK.
SO I REALLY DID WANT TO AMEND HIS LEADERSHIP AND WHAT HE DOES, AND REALLY RECOGNIZE THAT THE PRODUCTION ON THE GROUND.
OKAY, THAT'S A REALLY GOOD POINT.
THAT'S 97%, SO 1200 JUST FOR SATISFACTION SURVEYS.
AND BECAUSE WE SEE SOMEBODY POSITIVE ONES, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FOLKS, THE FREEWAY, UH, YOU KNOW, THOSE THAT COME OUT ON THESE SURVEYS THAT ARE DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB, THAT IT WOULD BE OVERSEEN.
YOU KNOW, THEY GET DINGED FOR THE NEGATIVE ONE THAT THEY MAY RECEIVE.
SO WE'RE WORKING WITH PROGRAMS. THEY ARE INCLUDING SOME OF THESE IN TERMS OF USING THEM FOR EMPLOYEE EVALUATIONS, TO LOOK AT THE SURVEYS THAT ARE DIRECTLY AFFILIATED WITH THAT INDIVIDUAL, LETTING THEM KNOW THAT WE ARE ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.
ALL RIGHT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE AND FILE A MOTION BY MAYOR DENNIS SECOND BY MR. VASQUEZ AND THEN DISCUSSION.
I JUST WANT TO ADD MY 2 CENTS ON THAT TOO.
IT'S AN EXCELLENT PROGRAM TO MEASURE OUR EFFECTIVENESS AND HOW WE'RE SATISFYING OUR CUSTOMERS OUT THERE.
SO HATS OFF THAT'S GREAT NUMBERS ALL IN FAVOR.
[ Executive Session]
INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.I'M GOING TO APOLOGIZE TO THE PEOPLE THAT WALKED IN THINKING THAT THE AIR QUALITY COMMITTEE MEETINGS GETTING READY TO START.
UH, WE NEED MS. JOHNSON'S BAY.
I THINK EVERYBODY ELSE BEFORE EXECUTIVE SESSION AT 1 0 2.
ALRIGHT, WELL, WE'VE BEEN IN AN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
WE HAVE A DELIBERATED RECEIVED ADVICE FROM HUMAN RESOURCES ON THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR.
AND I DO BELIEVE WE MAY HAVE A MOTION.
UM, I MOVED, UH, WE APPROVED A MERIT RATES AND RAN IN THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT ALLOWED UNDER OUR BUDGET, WHICH IS 5%.
UH, AND I WOULD ALSO MOVE IF WE RECOMMEND, WE APPROVE THE 5% BONUS ON TOP OF THE OTHER APPOINTMENT, IF IT'S ALL RIGHT.
SO JOHNSON, WOULD YOU LIKE TO, TO CLEAN THAT UP FOR US? YEAH.
WITH THE MOTION IS YOU NEED TO GET BACK OUT TO THE RANCH, THIS RANDOM 5% INCREASE IN THE AMOUNT OF 11,526,000 AND A ONE TIME BONUS IN THE AMOUNT OF $11,526 AND 50 CENTS.
GOT A MOTION BY JUDGE KELLY SECOND BY MR. HASLACKER, ANY DISCUSSION? YEAH, I WOULD LIKE TO JUST SAY THAT I'VE REALLY BEEN IMPRESSED WORKING WITH THIS ORGANIZATION.
IT'S JUST A GREAT GROUP OF PEOPLE AND DOING GREAT WORK, GREAT EMPLOYEES.
AND THE OVERALL COMPENSATION SCHEME FOR THE ORGANIZATION IS, UH, AS PEOPLE PROGRESS WITH THEIR SALARY GETS GET RAISES, UH, QUALIFY EACH YEAR AFTER THEIR EVALUATIONS.
PREMIER RACES IN AMERICA KNOWS THAT THOSE ARE IN THE THREE TO 5% RANGE WITH THE TOP, THE TOP OF THE BAR RACE TO BE 5%.
IF ANYBODY DESERVES 5% MERIT RAISE THIS ORGANIZATION RIGHT IN THE HAND AND ALL OF THE EMPLOYEES, ALSO THE
[02:30:01]
SENIOR BOYS, I THINK WE CAN QUALIFY FOR A BONUS.UH, AND IF ANYONE DESERVES A BONUS AT THIS ORGANIZATION SHOULD THE MOST THAT WE CAN DO.
SO THAT'S WHY I RECOMMEND THE 5% OF THEM.
SO WE'VE GOT MOTION TO SECOND ON THE TABLE ANYMORE.
I'LL CALL FOR THE MODE ALL IN FAVOR, ANY OPPOSED MOTION PASSES.
I REALLY APPRECIATE, AND I'M SO HONORED TO HAVE THIS JOB AND SO MUCH ENJOY WORKING WITH EACH OF YOU AND I'VE LEARNED SO MUCH.
SO I REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT Y'ALL DID TODAY.
AND WE'LL TRY TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE HIS WORK STATION TOO, BECAUSE I DO STRONGLY CHANNEL IMPROVEMENT.
Y'ALL'S GUIDANCE OF IT'S SO PRIVILEGED TO HAVE SERVED WITH OUR FORMER CHAIRMAN THAT HAD REALLY BEEN SUPPORTIVE AND HELPED ME.
AND, UH, SO THANK YOU FOR KEEPING US AND THAT THE LEADERSHIP YOU ALL PROVIDE TO US AND THE GUIDANCE INSIGHT, BECAUSE THAT'S SO IMPORTANT TO ANY ORGANIZATION AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
OTHERWISE WE GET LOST AND WANDER AROUND SOME TIME.
OUR NEXT MEETING IS SCHEDULED FOR WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 24TH, 2000 THIRD, FEBRUARY 23RD, 2020 2:10 AM.
SHE PROMISED THIS MEETING IS NOW ADJOURNED FOR A VERY SHORT BREAK.
