[1. Consider approval of a grant application and award on behalf of the DeSoto Police Department from the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) for the Bryne Discretionary Community Project Grant for technical improvements at the DeSoto Regional Jail in the amount of $200,000]

ITEM ON THE AGENDA. YES, MA'AM. NEXT, WE MOVE INTO OUR REGULAR AGENDA. FIRST, WE HAVE CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A GRANT APPLICATION AND AWARD ON BEHALF OF THE DESOTO POLICE DEPARTMENT FROM THE OFFICE OF JUSTICE PROGRAMS FOR THE BURN DISCRETIONARY COMMUNITY PROJECT GRANT FOR TECHNICAL IMPROVEMENTS AT THE DESOTO REGIONAL JAIL IN THE AMOUNT OF $200,000. MAKING THAT PRESENTATION IS POLICE CHIEF JOE COSTA. GOOD EVENING, CHIEF MADAM MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL, WE DISCUSSED THIS AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING, AND THIS IS A GRANT THAT NONCOMPETITIVE THAT WE APPLIED FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. NOW THROUGH JASMINE CROCKETT'S OFFICE, WE GET IT AWARDED AND WE'VE ACCEPTED THE GRANT AND WE'VE GOT $80,000 SO FAR AND THE REST IS COMING VERY SHORTLY. THIS IS FOR REPAIRS AND UPGRADES IN THE JAIL TO THE INTERCOM AND CAMERA SYSTEMS. THEY ARE ANTIQUATED AND THEY'VE BEEN BREAKING DOWN IN DISREPAIR. AND WE FINALLY, WE FINALLY GOT SOME MONEY TO MAKE THOSE REPAIRS WITHOUT COSTING OUR BUDGET OR ANY OF THE OTHER CITY'S PARTNERS, ANY ANY MONEY. SO THAT'S THAT'S THE GRANT THAT WE GOT. WE'VE ACCEPTED IT AND WE'VE GOT PART OF IT SO FAR. CHIEF, I WANT TO CLARIFY. THIS IS THE GRANT THAT WE DID, I BELIEVE, IN 2023 OR 22 WHEN WE APPLIED FOR HER COMMUNITY PROJECTS, FUNDING AND THIS IS THE $200,000 THAT WAS SPECIFICALLY ALLOCATED FOR THEIR PROJECT, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. 22 I THINK WE APPLIED FOR IT AND THEN WE GOT IT AWARDED IN 23. AND THEN WE WAITED ALL THIS TIME TO GET THE MONEY. GREAT. ALL RIGHT. WELL THANK YOU SO MUCH. COUNCIL ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE WE CALL FOR A MOTION. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER RAPHAEL. SURE THING. DEFINITELY. THANK YOU TO JASMINE CROCKETT'S OFFICE FOR THIS. BUT FOR CLARITY, 80,000 OF THIS WENT TO FIRE AND THEN 120 GOES TO POLICE AND JAIL. I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE STATEMENT RELATED TO FIRE. NO, WE WE'VE BEEN APPROPRIATED 80 000 OF IT UP FRONT ALREADY. AND THE REST THE BALANCE IS COMING AT SOME POINT.

SO THEY ONLY GAVE US A PARTIAL RIGHT NOW AMOUNT FOR IT. ALL THAT 200,000 IS GOING FOR THE FOR THE UPGRADE ON THE CAMERAS AND THE INTERCOM SYSTEM IN THE JAIL. OKAY. I'M SORRY FOR MISHEARING. THANK YOU. NO FIRE WAS A DIFFERENT ONE. THANK YOU. COUNCIL IS THERE A MOTION? MADAM MAYOR, I MOVE TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED. SECOND, IT'S BEEN MOVED BY COUNCIL MEMBER RAPHAEL.

[2. Consider authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute Change Order # 07 with Smith Group in the amount of $135,534.50 for additional design services to extend the competition swimming pool at the Aquatic and Recreation Center at McCowan Park ]

THANK YOU. THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU. COUNCIL. MISS THOMAS WILL HAVE THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA. YES, MA'AM. NEXT, WE HAVE CONSIDER AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE AND EXECUTE CHANGE ORDER NUMBER SEVEN WITH SMITHGROUP IN THE AMOUNT OF $135,534.50 FOR ADDITIONAL DESIGN SERVICES TO EXTEND THE COMPETITION SWIMMING POOL AT THE AQUATIC AND RECREATION CENTER AT MCALLEN PARK, MAKING THAT PRESENTATION IS PARKS DIRECTOR CHRIS GLOVER. GOOD EVENING, MR. GLOVER. GOOD MORNING, MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL. I'M SORRY, I THOUGHT I WAS FURTHER DOWN ON THE AGENDA. I WAS OVER THERE PLAYING. THAT'S ME. AND WE DO HAVE A PRESENTATION. AND I GUESS BEFORE WE GET THE PRESENTATION UP, I GUESS IT'S KIND OF HARD NOT TO NOTICE MY, MY PURPLE WHERE TODAY. THAT'S FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. I'M A DESOTO RESIDENT.

OKAY. OKAY. COMPETITIVE POOL, LANE EXTENSION. LET'S SEE. POWER OVERSIGHT. POWER ON THE SIDE.

I'M GONNA GET AT YOU ALL AND TAKE IT OFF. READ. GOT IT. THAT'S IT. OKAY, FOR THOSE THAT KNOW, I GUESS FOR THOSE AT HOME THAT MAY BE WATCHING, WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING OUR AQUATICS AND RECREATION CENTER OFF OF ACADEMY WAY AND PARKERVILLE. IT IS A 74,000

[00:40:08]

SQUARE FOOT FACILITY AND TODAY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ONE OF THE AMENITIES WE'RE GOING TO HAVE IN IT, WHICH IS AN EIGHT LANE POOL. DURING OUR ORIGINAL DESIGN, WE HAD IT. IT WAS 25, 25FT, AND THEN CITY OFFICIALS, WE ACTUALLY REQUESTED THE LENGTH OF THE COMPETITION POOL TO BE EXTENDED BY 12FT, WHICH WOULD MAKE IT AN OLYMPIC SIZE POOL. AND AT THE TIME, WE THOUGHT WE ACTUALLY HAD FUNDING THAT, THAT THE FUNDING, THE SOURCE OF FUNDING DID NOT ACTUALLY COME THROUGH FOR THAT.

BUT WE STILL WOULD LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS. NOW, WITH THIS, WE HAVE THE SMITHGROUP.

THERE ARE THREE, THREE HEADS TO OUR TEAM. OKAY. WE HAVE THE SMITHGROUP ARCHITECTURAL FIRM.

THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DESIGN. WE HAVE MANHATTAN. WHO IS OUR CONSTRUCTION? CONSTRUCTION COMPANY. AND AGAIN, THEY ALL HAVE AN EXTENSION AS AN ALLOWANCE. AND THEN WE HAVE INTEGRATED PROJECT SOLUTIONS. WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OKAY. THE BENEFITS OF THE APPROACH WITH MANHATTAN IS BASICALLY IT'S LIKE A SEYMOUR I MEAN A GMP, WHICH IS A GUARANTEED MAX PRICE. SO WITH THIS EXTENSION, WITH THE EXTENSION THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING, THE COST FOR THE EXTENSION, OVERALL COST IS $1,935,436.50. OKAY. AND THAT'S FOR THE ACTUAL DESIGN COST AND FOR THE CONSTRUCTION COST, THAT'S FOR BOTH. OKAY. THIS WILL PROVIDE US WITH EXPEDIENCY, WHICH WOULD HELP MITIGATE POTENTIAL SCHEDULING IMPACTS, WHICH IS REAL BIG. THE SCHEDULING IMPACT IS SOMETHING THAT WE REALLY LOOKED AT TO TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE STAYING AS CLOSE TO ON SCHEDULE AS POSSIBLE. OKAY. AND WE ALSO HAVE SOME INFLATIONS. AND IF WE SUBMITTED THIS ANY LATER, WE COULD POTENTIALLY SEE ANYWHERE FROM 16 TO FROM 12 TO 16 WEEKS. AS FAR AS THE BUILDING COMPLETION IS DONE, SOME KEY DATES THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT NOW, IF THIS IS PASSED AND I WANT TO GO BACK JUST A LITTLE BIT, THIS OUR NEXT ITEM IS REALLY FOR MANHATTAN. AND IT WAS A CONSTRUCTION COMPANY. AND THIS IS FOR THE SMITHGROUP. SO THEY'RE KIND OF INTERTWINED ON THIS PRESENTATION. WE WON'T HAVE TWO PRESENTATIONS FOR THEM OKAY. BUT SOME KEY DATES ON OCTOBER THE 19TH ARE STILL PACKAGES DUE.

THAT'S FOR OUR SUPPORT BEAMS THAT GO UP FOR THE FACILITY. NOVEMBER 22ND. OUR BUILDINGS BEGIN TO GO VERTICAL. OKAY, SO RIGHT BEFORE THANKSGIVING, IT'S GOING TO START TO GO UP. WE'RE GOING TO SEE THAT. SO WE'RE LAYING A LOT OF OUR GROUNDWORK RIGHT NOW. IN NOVEMBER 25TH, OUR PARKING LOT IS SCHEDULED TO BE COMPLETE. AND THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE HAVE TO DO SOME UNDER WORK WITH OUR UTILITIES AND EVERYTHING BEFORE THAT HAPPENS. SO WE WON'T HAVE TO COME BACK AND TRY TO TEAR THAT UP. OKAY, SOME BENEFITS OF THIS OLYMPIC POOL THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACTUALLY CONVERT. WE HAVE OUR REVENUE SOURCE, COMPETITIVE RECREATIONAL WELLNESS PROGRAMS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE WHICH ARE REALLY BIG. OUR MEDIA ATTENTION PROMOTING SWIMMING, IN PARTICULAR IN OUR COMMUNITY WITH OUR WITH OUR COMPLEXION, BEING ABLE TO GET MORE MEDIA ATTENTION AND REALLY PROMOTE SWIMMING SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES. WE HAVE FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR ATHLETES, TEAMS AND ORGANIZATIONS AND INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT. THAT'S A BIG ONE WITH SOME OF THE OLYMPICS, OLYMPIC GAMES THAT GO ON A LOT OF TIMES WHEN THEY ACTUALLY COME TO YOUR CITY, THEY THEY WILL. THEY DON'T WANT TO TRAVEL BACK AND FORTH. SO THEY DON'T WANT TO BE IN DALLAS AND DRIVE BACK AND FORTH FROM DALLAS. SO WE'LL HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR THEM TO COME IN AND SAY, NO, WE DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. SO THEY WILL BUILD DRESSING ROOMS AND FACILITIES, LODGING FACILITIES, THINGS LIKE THAT, SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK AND FORTH. AND AFTER THEY'RE DONE USING OUR FACILITY FOR A PRACTICE FACILITY, THEY'LL LEAVE THAT THERE AT NO COST TO THE CITY. SO IT'S THOSE TYPES OF THINGS THAT ARE REALLY, REALLY BIG. AND ALSO WE HAVE TOURISM WITH OUR TOURISM. THE DALLAS SPORTS COMMISSION. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU ALL HAVE HEARD OF THAT, BUT WE ARE ACTUALLY MEETING WITH THEM NOW SO WE CAN REALLY GET A LOT MORE INVOLVED WITH THE DALLAS SPORTS COMMISSION. AND THEY BRING IN TONS OF THESE TYPES OF EVENTS.

AND WITH AN OLYMPIC SWIMMING POOL, WE'LL BE ABLE TO REALLY ATTRACT SOME OF THE ELITE SWIMMERS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY AND GET SOME OF THE NOTORIETY OF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE. SO THE TOURISM IS BIG. SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF ACTUALLY HAVING AN OLYMPIC SWIMMING POOL. THE FUNDING OPTIONS. NOW, SINCE OUR ORIGINAL PLAN ACTUALLY FELL THROUGH AND DIDN'T COME TO FRUITION, THE QUESTION NOW BECOMES, OKAY, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO PAY FOR IT? THAT'S A LOGICAL QUESTION. VERY LOGICAL QUESTION. AND I'M SURE INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW. AND ALSO THOSE AT HOME, OUR OUR GOAL RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE WE DO SEE THIS AS BEING

[00:45:03]

BENEFICIAL, IS TO ACTUALLY TAKE OUR FUND BALANCE, NOT OUR FUND BALANCE. BUT I'M SORRY, OUR CONTINGENCY AND USE OUR CONTINGENCY TO ACTUALLY COVER THE COST OF THIS ADDITION. AND WE WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR FUNDING FROM TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE GRANT OPPORTUNITIES. WE ALSO HAVE SOME OPPORTUNITIES WITH THE PARK BOARD. AGAIN, WE'LL HAVE TO GET THEIR BUY OFF.

WE HAVE SOME RECREATION PROGRAMING FUNDING THAT WE CAN ALSO THROW AT THIS AND ALL OF THESE FUNDS, ALONG WITH THE STATE GRANT OPPORTUNITIES, ALL OF THESE OPPORTUNITIES BASICALLY WILL REPLENISH OUR CONTINGENCY. OKAY, TO MAKE SURE AND WE WANT TO HAVE AT LEAST A MINIMUM OF ABOUT $2 MILLION FOR OUR CONTINGENCY OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN GET THIS DONE. OKAY. AND I THINK THAT IS THE END OF THE PRESENTATION, I GUESS. AND STAFF IS RECOMMENDING RECOMMENDING FOR CITY COUNCIL TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE AND EXECUTE A CHANGE ORDER NUMBER SEVEN, WITH THE SMITH GROUP IN THE AMOUNT OF $135,534.50 FOR ADDITIONAL DESIGN SERVICES TO EXTEND THE COMPETITION. SWIMMING POOL AT THE AQUATICS AND RECREATION CENTER AND ONE MORE THING, I GUESS BEFORE I STOP WITH THE WITH THE CHANGE ORDERS, BECAUSE YOU ALL DO SEE SOME CHANGE, SOME CHANGE ORDERS. OKAY. AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CLEAR ON SOME OF THOSE THINGS. NOW, WHEN WE ORIGINALLY HAD OUR GMP, WE HAD A OUR GUARANTEED MAX PRICE. OKAY. IT'S WHAT WE ACTUALLY HAD MOST OF THE CHANGE ORDERS THAT YOU ARE SEEING NOW. THOSE ARE REALLY BEING INITIATED BY THE CITY. ONE EXAMPLE THAT I'LL THROW OUT REAL QUICK, I KNOW MR. LACEY BROUGHT FORTH THE WATER LINE THE OTHER DAY, AND WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE WATER LINE, WHAT HAPPENED IS DURING OUR DURING OUR ACTUAL DESIGN, THERE WAS A WATER LINE THAT WAS AFFILIATED WITH THAT FACILITY, BUT IT WASN'T ADEQUATE ENOUGH FOR US TO EXPAND. IF WE DECIDED WE WERE GOING TO BUILD ANYTHING ELSE FOR THE, THE, THE MASTER PLAN. AND SO WHEN WE LOOKED AT THAT, THAT'S WHEN WE WENT IN AND SAID, WELL, IT'LL BE A LOT LESS EXPENSIVE FOR US TO GO AHEAD AND PUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN NOW AS OPPOSED TO WAITING LATER ON. AND IT'S MORE COST EFFICIENT AND ALL OF THOSE TYPES OF THINGS. SO YOU SEE SOME OF THOSE THINGS. BUT THE MAJORITY OF THESE CHANGE ORDERS ARE CHANGE ORDERS THAT ARE ACTUALLY COMING FROM CITY STAFF SAYING, HEY, YOU KNOW, LET'S, LET'S, LET'S DO THIS. AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. AND THAT CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION. THANK YOU, MR. GLOVER, FOR THE PRESENTATION. OKAY. COUNCIL, IS THERE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR, PLEASE? MADAM MAYOR, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE AS PRESENTED. IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND? OKAY. COUNCIL, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE WE CALL FOR A VOTE? I HAVE A QUESTION. CERTAINLY, DOCTOR MARKS. THANK YOU, MR. GLOVER, FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. I HAVE ONE QUESTION IN REFERENCE TO FUNDING SOURCES. I WAS LOOKING AT THE LIST AND IT SAYS STATE REPRESENTATIVE, SUCH AND SUCH, AND IT HAS SO MANY PEOPLE OR THINGS ON THAT LIST, SOURCES ON THAT LIST. SO WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING IN CONCRETE. IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME THESE ARE. IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? NO, THAT IS NOT EXACTLY WHAT I'M SAYING. THERE IS THE TOTAL COST FOR THE I MEAN, FOR THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION IS 1.9. WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 2.4 MILLION IN OUR CONTINGENCY. SO THAT WOULD BE PROBABLY ABOUT 500 K. THAT'S LEFT THERE IN OUR RECREATION PROGRAMING. WE ALSO HAVE MONEY AVAILABLE THERE, PROBABLY ANOTHER 500 K TO MATCH THAT. SO THERE'S ABOUT $1 MILLION THAT'S SITTING THERE THAT IS IN POCKET. IF WE NEED TO PUT OUR HANDS ON IT RIGHT NOW. AND THEN WITH THE PARK BOARD, THERE ARE SOME FUNDING AVAILABLE THERE ALSO.

BUT AGAIN, WE JUST HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS WITH THEM. NOW. EVERYTHING ELSE IS WHEN WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO HAVE TO GO AND APPLY FOR GRANTS AND TRY AND GET THAT DONE. DOES THAT HELP? YEAH, A LITTLE BIT. I'M JUST YEAH, IT HELPS A LITTLE BIT. BUT OKAY. YEAH. WHEN I SEE ALL WHEN I SEE I JUST SEE DOLLARS YOU KNOW. SO NOW NOW AND I AND I DO UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A $53 MILLION PROJECT. AND A LOT OF TIMES WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT $2 MILLION, WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT $2 MILLION LIKE IT'S OUR $2 MILLION. BUT IN THE BIGGER SCHEME OF THINGS, YOU KNOW, WHEN I LOOK TEN, 15 YEARS FROM NOW, WHEN WE COME BACK, THAT THAT OLYMPIC SIZE SWIMMING POOL REALLY KIND OF CHANGES THE GAME. WHEN YOU SEE OLYMPIC STYLE SWIMMING POOLS, YOU REALLY SEE THOSE AT IN HOLLAND PARK. YOU SEE SOME IN AT SMU, YOU SEE TOM LANDRY CENTER. SO THEY'RE REALLY, REALLY UPSCALE TYPE FACILITIES. AND IF YOU CAN IMAGINE WALKING IN THIS FACILITY AND JUST IMAGINE SEEING A COMPETITION POOL IN IT AND JUST COSMETICALLY HOW THAT LOOKS,

[00:50:03]

THAT'S THAT'S IMPRESSIVE. THE OTHER THING IS THAT WITH THE WITH THE 25 FOOT POOL, A LOT OF YOUR OLDER POOLS THAT YOU SEE ARE OLDER FACILITIES. THEY HAVE THE 25 FOOT POOL. SO THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT THAT'S REALLY SPECIAL ABOUT IT. SO WHEN WE'RE GOING BACK TO A LOT OF THOSE BENEFITS OF HAVING AN OLYMPIC SIZE POOL, YOU REALLY KIND OF LOSE A LOT OF THAT LEVERAGE.

WHEN YOU GO BACK TO THE 25 FOOT POOL. NOT THAT WE CAN'T DO IT, BUT THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE ANYTHING THAT'S REALLY THAT ARE AS UNIQUE ABOUT THAT AS IT WOULD BE FOR THIS. OKAY. GREAT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU THANK YOU, DOCTOR MARKS, COUNCIL MEMBER CHISHOLM THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. GLOVER. DOCTOR GLOVER, FOR YOUR PRESENTATION BECAUSE YOU KNOW HOW TO FIX. ALL RIGHT. I APPRECIATE YOU FOR THIS PRESENTATION. I WAS LOOKING AT THE CITIES THAT HAVE AN OLYMPIC SIZE POOL, AND IT JUST FELT REAL BOUGIE. LIKE, I DON'T THINK I'D BE WELCOME IN ANY OF THESE PLACES, BUT IT'S GREAT TO KNOW IT CAN COME TO DESOTO AND I'LL BE WELCOME HERE. I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. SO CONSIDERING WE DO THIS, THERE'S GOING TO BE AN EXTENDED TIME BEFORE IT'S FIXED RIGHT? I MEAN, IT WON'T BE ON THE SAME SCHEDULE, RIGHT? CORRECT. MEANING THAT AND I BELIEVE I SAW THIS IN AN EMAIL SOMEWHERE WHERE THE THERE WOULD BE ADDITIONAL FEES PAID OUT TO OUR CONTRACTORS TO EXTEND THE TIME RIGHT? YES. FOR THIS, THERE'S ABOUT A SIX WEEKS DIFFERENCE. WE WERE SCHEDULED TO BE DONE IN FEBRUARY OF 2026, AND SO THIS WILL PUSH US BACK TILL MARCH. DO YOU HAVE AN APPROXIMATE COST ON WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE WITH THE EXTENDED EXTENDED TIME? I DON'T KNOW AT THIS TIME. COULD YOU PROVIDE IT TO THE COUNCIL AT A LATER DATE? YEAH, HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL THERE SHOULDN'T BE THERE SHOULDN'T BE ADDED COST BECAUSE THE GMP AND WHATEVER IS THAT CHANGE ORDER SHOULD BE FOLLOWING THE SAME GMP PRICES. SO THE 1.71.79 PLUS THE, THE, THE DESIGN MONIES SHOULD STAY THE SAME. WE HAVE OUR WE HAVE OUR PROJECT MANAGER WHO WILL BE ON OR WILL BE ON A STANDBY FOR THE ADDITIONAL SIX WEEKS. SO THAT COULD BE THE ONLY ADDITIONAL COST FOR US, BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE SIGNIFICANT COMPARED TO, YOU KNOW, THE COST OF THE CONSTRUCTION OR THE COST OF THE DESIGN. THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNS. GOTCHA. THANK YOU. AND MY OTHER QUESTION IS, ARE THERE ANY FEDERAL FUNDING OR IN THIS GRANT PROCESS? ARE YOU YOUR OFFICE DOING THIS OR IS ARE THE NEW GRANT THE GRANTS MANAGER DOCTOR ESTHER DOING THIS OR IS THIS A COLLABORATION? YEAH, IT'LL PROBABLY BE A COLLABORATION BECAUSE WE'LL HAVE MORE KNOWLEDGE OF THE ACTUAL FACILITY. AND SO WE'LL HAVE TO WORK WITH WITH DOCTOR ESTHER'S TEAM TO BE ABLE TO, TO, TO GET THAT PUSHED THROUGH. BUT YES, WE ARE GOING TO SEEK FEDERAL OPTIONS AS WELL. OKAY. THANK YO.

THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER PARKER. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. THANK YOU, MR. GLOVER, FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. AND PUTTING IT PUTTING IT RIGHT THERE ON THE LINE. AND WE APPRECIATE THAT. WE REALLY DO. WE LIKE TO HEAR THE INFORMATION. I DID ALSO, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS ANY THING THAT I REALLY WANTED TO KNOW, I ASKED VIA EMAIL TO GET THOSE QUESTIONS ANSWERED. HOWEVER, I DO WANT TO ASK A QUESTION ABOUT THE LENGTH YOU, YOU YOU, YOU SAID 25FT, RIGHT? CORRECT. OKAY. AND THEN THE EXTENSION IS 12FT 12. NO NO, NO 25M. YOU SAID 25M. AND THEN WHICH IS 12FT MORE THAN THE 25FT. SO IT'S AN EXTENSION OF 12FT, BUT IT'S 25M TOTAL. OKAY. AND SO THE REASON THAT I'M ASKING THAT QUESTION WAS BECAUSE I WAS JUST LOOKING AT THE ACTUAL AGENDA ITEMS, AND THEY LEND TO 12FT. THEY ARE SAYING 12FT ADDITIONAL. YES, THAT IS CORREC. SO IT'S 12FT ADDITIONAL ADDITION TO THE 25FT, 25FT PLUS THE 12FT OR 25M, 25M. ALL RIGHT. I WILL WAIT. I WAS WAY OUT. I WAS LIKE, WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? YEAH, OKAY. THANK YOU. THAT'S REALLY WHAT I WANTED TO KNOW. THANK YO.

OKAY. THANK YOU. IN LAYMAN'S TERMS, THE 25M IS WHAT THE TOTAL LENGTH WILL BE. ONCE THE EXTENSION HAS BEEN. THAT IS CORRECT. AND THERE WILL BE A BULKHEAD. AND FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW WHAT A BULKHEAD IS, WE CAN ALSO SHORTEN IT DOWN TO 25FT AS WELL. IF THAT DOESN'T CONVOLUTE IT EVEN MORE. YEAH, CLEAR AS MUD. SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO ADJUST IT TO MAKE IT LONGER AND SHORTER BASICALLY. CERTAINLY. I MEAN OBVIOUSLY THE POOL AT ITS TRUE LENGTH WILL BE THE 25M. THAT'S CORRECT. CORRECT. THAT'S CORRECT. AND THEN THEN IT CAN BE LIKE YOU'RE SAYING WE CAN LENGTHEN IT. I MEAN WE CAN SHORTEN IT. WE CAN'T LENGTHEN IT, BUT WE CAN SHORTEN

[00:55:04]

IT IF WE NEED TO. FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF EVENTS. THAT IS CORRECT. ALL RIGHT. BUT FOR POINT OF INFORMATION AND I THINK THAT'S WHERE I WAS GETTING CONFUSED BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT AN OLYMPIC SIZE POOL IS 50M. IT'S THE REASON I KEEP ASKING THE QUESTION BECAUSE I KEEP HEARING 2512. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE CERTAIN, ARE WE TALKING 50M? THE BANKHEAD ITSELF IS ACTUALLY 25, AND THAT'S WHAT WOULD BE REDUCING IT TO 25M. I'M JUST ASKING, OKAY, OLYMPIC.

OLYMPIC SIZE POOLS CAN BE EITHER 25M OR 50M, RIGHT? THAT'S THE COMPETITION. OKAY? RIGHT. THAT'S THE COMPETITION. THEY GO BY METERS. SO THAT'S WHAT THE STANDARD INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE FOR SPORTS DOES. SO IT'S THEY THEY GO BY METERS NOT BY YARDS. SO THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SIZING IT TO THE 25M. BECAUSE IF THERE IS A RELAY LET'S SAY OF 100 METER RELAY, IT WOULD BE FOUR TIMES FIVE. RIGHT. OKAY OKAY. CRASH COURSE ON THE METRIC SYSTEM. RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

COUNCIL MEMBER. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. MR. GLOVER, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK. I HAVE A QUESTION. I AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S DIRECTED TO YOU OR TO MR. GODFREY. DO WE HAVE ANYONE ON STAFF THAT'S LOOKING FOR PHILANTHROPY, PHILANTHROPIST, NAMING RIGHTS, GOING AFTER? BECAUSE I WOULD I WOULD THINK THAT THIS PROJECT WOULD BE PERFECT FOR SOME SOMEONE TO PUT THEIR NAME ON IT AND NIKE OR SOMEPLACE. I THINK THAT A LOT OF TIMES WE MISS THE OPPORTUNITY AND, AND, AND IN CORPORATE AMERICA, YOU KIND OF DO THIS EITHER BEFORE YOU TAKE ON THE PROJECT OR WHILE YOU'RE IN CONSTRUCTION. RIGHT. WHO ON STAFF WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT? OR DO WE HAVE THAT PERSON ON STAFF? WELL, RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE ANYONE ON STAFF, BUT WE ARE MEETING WITH SOME CONTRACTORS TO POTENTIALLY CREATE AN RFP TO GET SOME ASSISTANCE WITH ACTUALLY GETTING THAT DONE. RIGHT. YEAH. THE NAMING RIGHTS. OKAY. SO IF I MAY ADD AS WELL, THE ACTION TONIGHT GIVES US THE ABILITY TO GO FOR NAMING RIGHTS. NAMING RIGHTS IS NOT GOING TO GO ON JUST A STANDARD POOL OR A STANDARD FACILITY. TYPICALLY. SO WITH WITH HAVING AN OLYMPIC SIZED POOL OR AN OLYMPIC SIZE FACILITY AND GET AN OLYMPIC, OLYMPIC DESIGNATION, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO NOW GO ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO GET SOME, SOME, SOME SERIOUS PARTNERS IN TERMS OF NAMING RIGHTS, IN TERMS OF ALSO AS AS CHRIS MENTIONED, OPPORTUNITIES TO HAVE ADDITIONAL FACILITIES FOR ATHLETES TO TRAIN AND STAY AT AND YOU KNOW AND OTHER AREAS FRANKLY AND THAT CAN OPEN I REALLY THINK THAT THIS CAN ALSO OPEN AN INCREDIBLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES UP FRONT UP TO THE PARKERVILLE ROAD. AND SO THERE'S ALL KINDS OF OPPORTUNITIES IN THERE FOR US IF WE TAKE THAT ROUTE. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER RAFAEL. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

AND YOU DID ASK FOR A NAME AND RIGHTS BEFORE. I JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU, YOU DID ASK FOR THAT. SO I KNOW THEY WERE WORKING ON THAT. SO I APPRECIATE IT. MY QUESTION IS RELATED TO ADDITIONAL FUNDING SOURCES BECAUSE JUST LIKE YOU MENTIONED, NAMING RIGHTS A YEAR AGO OR SO I MENTIONED, IS IT RELATED TO GRANTS, ELECTIVE PAY, FEDERAL GRANTS AS IT RELATES TO THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE BUILDING? AND I UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, HAS BEEN PRESENTED BEFORE. IT'S GOING TO BE A LEED BUILDING. AND IT WAS MENTIONED AND I WASN'T EXACTLY CERTAIN IF THE ANY ONE OF THE CONTRACTORS WAS GOING TO TAKE A LEAD ON DOING THAT, OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE ARE GOING TO TAKE THE LEAD ON IN TERMS OF FINDING THOSE FEDERAL FUNDS RELATED? AGAIN, TO SUSTAINABILITY, WHETHER IT'S SOLAR, WHETHER IT'S, YOU KNOW, RESILIENCY HUB, WHETHER IT'S WHATEVER IT IS THAT THAT CONNECTS THIS BUILDING TO ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND MORE. AND SO I JUST WANTED TO UNDERSTAND IF, IF IT'S GOING TO BE US OR IF IT'S GOING TO BE THE CONTRACTOR, OKA.

THANK YOU. IT'LL DEFINITELY BE US. I THINK WE KNOW OUR PROJECT MORE THAN, THAN ANYBODY ELSE.

WELL, NO, IT IS ACTUALLY PART OF THE ARCHITECT'S CONTRACT FOR THEM TO TAKE IT ON THE LEED CERTIFICATION. SO THEY WILL BE HANDLING THE LEED CERTIFICATION. THE CERTIFICATION. BUT NOT PURSUING ADDITIONAL ADDITIONAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES RELATED TO THAT. SPECIFICALLY, WHETHER IT'S LEAD RESILIENCY HUBS, THAT WOULD BE THE CONTRACTOR. THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. AND FEDERAL GRANTS ELECTRIFY. I'M BEING REALLY VERY SPECIFIC ON WHAT THAT PARTICULAR GRANT BECAUSE

[01:00:01]

THERE IS FUNDING. YOU KNOW, THERE THAT WE CAN GET PAID FOR. AND SO I'LL JUST LEAVE IT ON THE FLOOR WITH THAT ONE. BUT THANK YOU FOR THIS PRESENTATION. WE DID GET HERE AT ONE POINT. SO I JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT. WE DID GET HERE AT ONE POINT, BUT WE DECIDED TO GO DOWN. BUT IT MAKES MORE SENSE TO GO UP. YOU KNOW WE'VE GONE TO SPEND THIS MUCH MONEY TO TAKE YOU KNOW, ADDITIONAL COINS BECAUSE WE'RE SAVING SOMEWHERE ELSE. YOU KNOW, TO ENSURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THE MAXIMUM EFFECT FOR THE BEST SOUTHWEST, THE BEST SOUTHWEST REGION, I THINK IS VERY MUCH WORTH IT. SO THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GOOD POINT. COUNCIL MEMBER RAPHAEL MAYOR PRO TEM. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. AND I JUST WANTED TO PIGGYBACK OFF OF WHAT COUNCILWOMAN RAPHAEL SAID. THANK YOU. BECAUSE DURING SOME OF THOSE MEETINGS, I DIDN'T SEE THIS HAPPENING. IN MY HEART OF HEARTS. I FELT LIKE WE SHOULD. SO THANK YOU. I'M GLAD TO SEE IT COMING INTO FRUITION. THANK YOU. GREAT JOB. THANKS. I HAVE A THANK YOU. WHERE ARE YOU DONE? I HAVE A QUESTION. AND THEN WE'LL WE DO HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR REGARDING THE CONTINGENCY. YOU KIND OF TOUCHED ON IT. I GUESS IT REALLY LEADS INTO THE NEXT TWO AGENDA ITEMS OR. YEAH, THE NEXT TWO AGENDA ITEMS ABOUT FOR THIS ONE WITH THE CONTINGENCY, YOU GAVE US AN IDEA OF HOW MUCH MONEY IS AVAILABLE TO IS AVAILABLE TO BE USED TOWARDS THESE ADDITIONAL COSTS. CORRECT.

IS THAT WHAT THE IS THAT THE NUMBER THAT YOU GAVE US. THAT'S CORRECT. 2.4 MILLION. YES. SO WE CAN USE UP TO 2.4. YES. THAT'S TOWARDS THESE ADDITIONAL COSTS. AND THEN I THINK YOU MENTIONED ALSO THE PARKS BOARD HAS MONEY. WHAT WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE IN TERMS OF A DOLLAR AMOUNT. OH OKAY. IF THEY WERE TO YOU KNOW, BE AGREEABLE TO EVEN LET US ALLOW US TO HAVE THOSE USE THOSE FUNDS TOWARDS THIS PROJECT. THEY HAVE A STANDING FUND BALANCE OF $2 MILLION. OKAY. THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S KIND OF THERE. SO AGAIN, WE'D HAVE TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM TO, YOU KNOW, TO GET THEIR BUY IN ON IT. BUT YEAH, IT'S ABOUT $2 MILLION FUND BALANCE. AND OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A THIS IS A PARKS PROJECT. SO IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR THE PARKS BOARD TO ASSIST WITH FUNDING. BUT ARE THERE ANY STIPULATIONS ON HOW AND HOW MUCH THEY CAN. ARE THERE ARE THERE ANY LIMITS ON HOW MUCH THEY CAN EARMARK FOR CERTAIN PROJECTS? NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE, OKAY. NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE. OKAY. THANK YOU. WE DO HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO APPROVE. YES. JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, I'VE BEEN GOING BACK TO MY OLD LIFEGUARDING DAYS. IN LOOKING AT THE SPECIFICATIONS WE WERE WHAT THEY WERE BUILDING WAS A 25 YARD POOL CHANGE ORDER. IT WOULD BE FOR A 25 METER POOL, WHICH IS LONGER THAN THE 25 YARD POOL. THAT IS CORRECT. THAT'S I THINK THE ADDITIONAL 20. THAT'S THE ADDITIONAL. THANK YOU. THAT'S THE ADDITIONAL 25FT. BELIEVE ME.

OKAY. I HAVE AN ADDITIONAL QUESTION BASED ON WHAT YOU. OKAY. BASED OFF SO RELATED TO THE PARKS BOARD AND THE FUNDING THAT'S AVAILABLE, IS THAT THE SAME FUNDING THAT THE PARK BOARD TYPICALLY WILL HAVE TO APPROVE IF SOMETHING WAS COMING FORWARD RELATED TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT? THAT IS CORRECT. THAT'S THE PROCESS. THAT'S THE SAME PROCESS WE WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH. SO THEY WOULD WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE TO APPROVE IT IN A PARK BOARD MEETING. WE WOULD TAKE IT TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, HOPEFULLY WOULD BLESS IT. AND THEN WE WOULD BRING IT TO YOU ALL AND SAY, PLEASE TIE IT IN A BOW, LET'S DO THIS. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO IF THE CONTRACTORS ARE HERE UNDER BUDGET, AHEAD OF SCHEDULE OKAY. UNDER BUDGET AHEAD OF SCHEDULE, THOSE ARE MY FINAL WORDS. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. AND SHE SHE MAINTAINS HER POSITION ON THAT OKAY. SO COUNCIL WE DO HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR. MAYOR PRO TEM MADE THAT MOTION.

CHANGE NUMBER 11 TO THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT WITH MANHATTAN. MANHATTAN CONSTRUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF $413,674 FOR THE EXTENSIONS AND EXTENSION OF FRANCHISE UTILITIES FROM THE RIGHT OF WAY TO THE AQUATIC AND RECREATION CENTER AT MCALLEN PARK. WELCOME BACK, MR. GLOVER. ALL RIGHT. SEE IF WE CAN GO FOR THE CLEAN SWEEP RIGHT HERE. OKAY. THIS THIS ONE IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT. BASICALLY WHAT IT IS IN OUR ORIGINAL CONVERSATIONS WITH ONCOR AND AT&T, I GUESS WE THOUGHT OR I THOUGHT IN PARTICULAR THAT WE COULD ACTUALLY GET THEM TO TAKE IT FROM THE RIGHT OF WAY, TAKE THE WIRING UTILITIES FROM THE RIGHT OF WAY TO THE ACTUAL BUILDING. AND IT SOUNDED LIKE I HAD THEM FOR A MINUTE. I THINK WE TOOK HIM OUT TO LUNCH, AND THEY WERE KIND OF HAPPY. BUT ANYWAY, THEY CAME BACK AND SAID, NO, NO, NO, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET US WITH THAT ONE NOW. BUT THE GOOD THING ABOUT IT IS OUR OUR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER, NOT CONSTRUCTION MANAGERS. I'M SORRY, OUR OWNER'S REP DURING THE TIME WE WERE HAVING THOSE CONVERSATIONS, THEY ACTUALLY TOOK $450,000 AND SET IT ASIDE.

OKAY, SO WE HAD IT BUDGETED FOR WITHIN THE $53 MILLION. SO THIS IS NOT AN EXTRA EXPENSE. THAT WAS JUST IN CASE THEY CHANGED THEIR MIND. THEY CHANGED THEIR MIND. WE'RE PREPARED FOR IT. WE HAD THE MONEY SITTING THERE. NOW WE JUST HAVE TO COME TO YOU ALL AND SAY, HEY, WE HAD IT SET ASIDE TO DO BECAUSE WE FIGURED THAT THEY WOULD CHANGE THEIR MIND AND SO WE'RE COMING TO YOU TO SAY, HEY, WE WANT TO SPEND THIS 400 AND I'M SORRY, $413,674 TO ACTUALLY BUILD A CONDUIT FOR THE UTILITIES TO RUN THROUGH. SO THAT'S WHAT MANHATTAN IS DOING. THEY'RE THEY'RE, THEY'RE THEY'RE CONNECTING THE CONDUIT. ONCE THEY PUT THE CONDUIT DOWN, AT&T ENCORE AND SOMEONE ELSE WILL COME IN AND THEN THEY'LL ACTUALLY CONNECT THE WIRING TO THE FACILITY. AND THEN WE'LL BE READY TO GO. OH, OH, AND I DO HAVE THIS PRESENTATION. I GUESS I COULD SAY I GOT IT. WELL, I JUST SAID THE SAME THING, BASICALLY. AND ONCOR ORIGINALLY WE TALKED ABOUT THAT FUNDS WERE BUDGETED AND UNCOATED AT CONDUIT AFFECT THE CONCRETE POUR. AND AGAIN EARLIER WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE PARKING LOT BEING COMPLETE, THAT'S WHY IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO IF YOU ALL DETERMINE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO APPROVE THIS, WHY IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO HURRY UP AND GET STARTED ON THIS. SO WHEN WE POUR THE PARKING LOT THAT THAT WE WON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH OUR INFRASTRUCTURE. AND THAT'S IT. THANK YOU, MR. GLOVER. COUNCIL, IS THERE A MOTION, MAYOR? YES, THERE'S A MOTION. I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE AS PRESENTED.
