[3. Resolution: Receive a Report, Hold a Discussion and Public Hearing, and Take Action on Approving the 2021 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance (JAG) Grant Program (Marcus Dudley)]

MOVE TO ITEM NUMBER THREE AND I WILL INVITE DAVIS TO THE PODIUM FOR ITEM NUMBER THREE. AND AGAIN, THERE WILL BE A TWO

LIMIT ON TODAY. >> GOOD MORNING COUNSEL.

DAVIS FOR THE RECORD. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A LIDAR WEAPON. WE PREVIOUSLY LOOKED AT THE PACKET. THAT IS A LASER ENERGY FIRED IN OUR MILITARY HAS EXPERIMENTED BEFORE ABOUT COMBINING THEIR OPPONENTS AND ONLY OF THE DO A SEARCH IN THE YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND YOU WILL SEE AIRCRAFT OR HELICOPTERS GOING ALONG AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WE ARE BEING ILLUMINATED BY A LASER SO THEY HAVE TO GET LAW ENFORCEMENT TO DO THAT DURING THE EXCUSE WILL BE THE OTHER PART DEPARTMENTS USE IT, BUT THE PROBLEM IS PEOPLE WHO HAVE SENSITIVE EYES, YOU'RE GOING TO FIRE THAT LASER HOWEVER LONG IT IS, A SECOND OR TWO OR WHATEVER.

IT'S A POSSIBILITY YOU CAN BLIND THAT DRIVER.

I ENJOY MY RETINAS THE WAY THEY ARE.

I DO NOT WANT ANY MORE DAMAGE TO THEM.

THE MILITARY IS EXPERIMENTING WITH ALL KINDS OF LASERS AND WE KNOW FROM THE AIR FORCE THE USE LASERGUIDED WEAPONS IN THE PAINT AND TARGET AND IT SAYS RIGHT THERE IN THE DOCUMENTATION IT IS A LASER AND THEY WANT TO APPROVE NINE OF THEM. AND THE GRANT HAS BEEN SPLIT EVENLY FROM THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND THE P.D. HERE THAT'S A GOOD THING. CITIZENS ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO DO MUCH TO DO THIS ORGAN MY CONCERN IS I KNOW YOU WILL SAY OTHER DEPARTMENTS USE IT. BUT AGAIN, IT IS A LASER GENERATING WEAPON FOR REVIEW AND DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT FIRES, BUT THERE'S A POSSIBILITY YOU COULD BLIND IN DRIVER EVEN FOR A MINUTE SECOND OR TWO.

THE MILITARY IS EXPERIMENTING WITH LASER WEAPONS FOR YEARS HERE THAT'S ALL I HAVE ON THE SUBJECT THIS MORNING.

THANK YOU. >> WE ARE IN A PUBLIC HEARING.

DOES ANYONE WANT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? SEEING NO ONE HIM CLOSE TO PUBLIC HEARING.

DOES COUNSEL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON ITEM NUMBER

THREE? >> THESE AREN'T WEAPONS, THESE ARE RADAR GUNS FOR SPEEDERS. THAT'S WHAT THESE ARE.

>>ANTHONY WILLIAMS : IS AT A MOTION.

>> YES. >> MOTION CARRIES.

>>ANTHONY WILLIAMS : WE WILL INVITE YOU TO THE PODIUM ONCE

AGAIN. >> THANK YOU AGAIN.TODAY WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A BRIEFING ON OUR CITY ATTORNEY ABOUT OUR SETTLEMENT FOR THE APTNESS ENERGY.

IT'S GOOD THE CITY ADVOCATES ON THE CITIZENS FOR RATE INCREASE . BUT THE PROBLEM IS YOU ARE ALSO UTILITIES PROVIDER.WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY TO ADVOCATE FOR U . TECHNICALLY THEY ARE A MONOPOLY. TAKE THEIR RATE OR ELSE.

SAME THING WITH CITY WATER RATES.

THE SETTLEMENT SAYS IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT HALF OF WHAT THEY ASKED TO FORM. IMAGINE THIS ASKED FOR THIS AMOUNT, THE MOON. AND IF WE GET HALF OF IT WE ARE GOOD. YOU DON'T SEE ANYBODY APPEAR ON

[00:20:02]

THE COUNCIL SAYING ON THE WATER DEPARTMENT COMES UP AND SAYS WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO RAISE RATES AGAIN EVEN THOUGH WE ARE IN A TWO-YEAR CYCLE THAT WE JUST RAISED RATES WE ARE GOING TO THROW THAT OUT THE WINDOW AND START AGAIN.

WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY TO ADVOCATE.

MAYBE ONE OR TWO OF US MIGHT COME UP HERE AND SAY YOU KNOW, WATER RATES ARE GETTING OUT OF CONTROL.

IS LIKE MY GRANDPA SAID WHEN I WAS A KID DURING I TELL HIM IT'S ONLY FIVE DOLLARS AND HE SAID THE PROBLEM IS GETTING THAT FIVE DOLLARS. AND SOME PEOPLE ON FIXED INCOMES, THE GOVERNMENT IS LUCKY TO GIVE YOU A COST-OF-LIVING INCREASE OF 1.3 PERCENT OR SOMETHING, BUT YET THE UTILITY COMPANIES WHICH WE HAVE TOO HERE, THE CITY WATER UTILITY IS BASICALLY A MONOPOLY.

YOU EITHER PAY THE RATES OR DO WITHOUT.

WAS HOPING IN THE FUTURE THAT MORE PEOPLE COME UP HERE AND VOICE THEIR OPINION WHEN WE HAVE WATER RATE INCREASES WERE WE JUST HAD ONE PREVIOUSLY FOR FIVE YEARS AND THEN WE SCRAPPED THAT AND WENT BACK AGAIN TO A NEW RATE.

THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME COMMENT.

>>ANTHONY WILLIAMS : WE ARE IN A PUBLIC HEARING.

DOES ANYONE WANT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

[5. Resolution: Receive a Report, Hold a Discussion and Public Hearing and Take Action to Approve the acceptance of Airport Improvement Program Grant 50 (Don Green)]

>> SO MOVED. >>ANTHONY WILLIAMS : MOTION MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER MCALLSTER AND SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER CRAVER . ANYFURTHER DISCUSSION?>

>> DEPUTY MAYOR. >> YES BUT COUNCILMEMBER PRICE.

>> YES BECAUSE MEMBER BEARD. >> YES.

>> OUNCE MEMBER ALBUS.> YES. >> BECAUSE MEMBER HURT.

>> YES. >> MAYOR.

>> YES. >>ANTHONY WILLIAMS : WE WILL

MOVE TO ITEM NUMBER FIVE . >> AGAIN, DAVIS BOARD FOR THE RECORD. THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT AIRPORT IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MEDIA REPORT THEY HAD THE OTHER DAY, THEY SAID THE JET WAYS AREN'T WORKING.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS ACCURATE OR NOT, THAT WOULD BE PRETTY INCONVENIENT IF YOUR JET WAYS AREN'T WORKING.

THERE WERE OTHER ITEMS LISTED THAT WE ARE GOING TO USE THIS GRANT FOR IMPORTANT WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS COUNCIL MEETIN. WE NEED ADVERTISING FOR OUR OTHER AIRLINES WERE IN UNFORTUNATELY THE MEDIA HAS BROKE IT THAT THEY ARE OUT OF HERE.

SO HOPEFULLY WE DIDN'T SPEND VERY MUCH OF THAT MONEY.NE MEDIA REPORTED THAT THEAIRLINE WAS SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY AND THE OTHER REPORTS SAY THEY WOULD SEE OPERATION ON OCTOBER 1. EITHER WAY, IT IS A SHAME WE HAVE SUCH WONDERFUL FACILITIES OUT THERE AND WE ARE GETTING THIS NICE GRANT AND YET WE ARE STUCK WITH ONE AIRLINE AGAIN. GOING TO USE THE WORD MONOPOLY.

LIKE I SAID PREVIOUSLY IN THE SITUATION, IF WE DON'T FLY WEST I DON'T THINK WE ARE EVER GOING TO CAPTURE ANYBODY BUT BUSINESS TRAVELERS. IF WE HAVE SOME KIND OF WESTERN ACTION, LIKE I SAIDPREVIOUSLY BACK WHEN FRONTIER FLEW OUT OF HERE IN THE 80S . MY WIFE FLEW FROM FRONTIER TO DENVER AND GOT A CONNECTION TO LAX.

NOW, I KNOW IT'S HARD I'M SURE TO ADVOCATE TO GET ANOTHER AIRLINE HERE. AND I MENTIONED IT MANY TIMES THROUGH AND SOUTHWEST FLIES OVER US EVERY DAY.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO GET A GREAT AIRLINE LIKE THAT IN HERE. BUT THEY FLY OVER US TO GO INTO HOUSTON HOBBY, TO LOVE FIELD, EL PASO.

THEY GO TO PHOENIX AND SAN DIEGO, LAX.I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO GET GOOD AIRLINE OR BUSINESS TRAVELERS AND THE AVERAGE FAMILY COULD ENJOY GREAT AIRFARES.

THANK YOU THIS MORNING. >>ANTHONY WILLIAMS : WE ARE IN A PUBLIC HEARING PARIS AND DOES ANYONE WANT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. DOES COUNSEL HAVE QUESTIONS OR

COMMENTS? >> MOVE FOR APPROVAL.

>>ANTHONY WILLIAMS : MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER CRAVER .

[VOTING] MOTION CARRIES.

>>ANTHONY WILLIAMS : NUMBER EIGHT.

CHANCE MEMBER BEARD, YOU A QUESTION?

[8. Resolution: Receive a Report, Hold a Discussion and Public Hearing, and Take Action on Modifying and Extending the Declaration of Local Disaster (COVID-19) Issued July 8, 2021 (Robert Hanna)]

>>LYNN BEARD : WE RENEW THIS EVERY MONTH AND I THINK IT IS BENEFICIAL IF YOU WOULD EXPLAIN WHAT THE PURPOSE OF EXTENDING THIS DISASTER DECLARATION IS WHAT THE RAMIFICATIONS ARE IF WE DO NOT DO THAT, ESPECIALLY GIVEN WHAT WE ARE FACING.

>> THE PURPOSE IS TO MAKE SURE WE ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FEDERAL REIMBURSEMENT IN THE EVENT THAT TAKES PLACE.

FEMA TYPICALLY DURING EVENTS LIKE THIS WILL REIMBURSE A PERCENTAGE OF THE COST, 75 PERCENT OF THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH RESPONDING TO THE DISASTER.

PRESIDENT TRUMP AT THE TIME DECLARED A NATIONAL DISASTER, GOVERNOR ABBOTT DECLARED A STATE DISASTER IN THE MIRROR

[00:25:02]

DECLARED A LOCAL DISASTER AS WELL AS THE COUNTY JUDGE.

ALL THAT IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROCESSES WE USE TO MAKE SURE WE ARE ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT IN THE EVENT THAT

ACTUALLY TAKES PLACE. >>ANTHONY WILLIAMS : QUESTION

FOR COUNSEL PRIOR TO THE PUBLIC HEARING?>> HAS ANY TAKEN

PLACE FROM FEMA. >> WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY FEMA FUNDS, HOWEVER, THE CARES ACT REIMBURSED SOME OF OUR EXPENSES THE RESCUE AND RECOVERY PLAN IS REVERSING SOME

OF OUR EXPENSES. >>ANTHONY WILLIAMS : AT THIS TIME WE OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING.

WE DO HAVE ONE CITIZEN, DAVID. WE WILL ALLOW OTHERS TO SPEAK

AFTER THAT. >> THINK YOU COUNSEL.

AGAIN, YOUR FINANCE GENTLEMAN SAID WE DON'T KNOW WHEN THE TREASURY IS GOING TO SEND US ANY MONEY IN THE PREVIOUS DEAL ABOUT THE BUDGET. IT'S OKAY.

IT'S ALL ABOUT FUNDING AND STUFF.

BUT ALSO I GUESS YOU HAVE SEEN MEDIA REPORTS THAT JOSEPH BIDEN JUNIOR SAID HE WANTS TO GIVE EVERYONE $100 BILL IF THEY GET THEIR SHOT. AGAIN, IT'S KIND OF LIKE YOU HAD THE PREVIOUS DEAL FOR THE CITY EMPLOYEES SAYING WE WILL GIVE YOU A WHOLE WEEKS VACATION IF YOU GET YOUR INOCULATION.

AGAIN, LIKE YOU POINTED OUT IN THE MEETING, IT'S NOT FAIR TO THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO GOT IT AND YOU LISTED DIFFERENT STATES AND STUFF AND YOU LISTED GUAM, WHICH WAS UNUSUAL.

AND IT SAID SIX PEOPLE WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR A VEHICLE.

THAT'S LOOKING PRETTY GOOD RIGHT EYE'M SURE IT IS ONLY FOR GUAM RESIDENTS AND NOT SOMEBODY THAT CAN FLY IN.

BUT AS LONG AS IT IS NOT A CHEVY THREE CYLINDER OR SOME OTHER THREE CYLINDER, THAT WOULD BE A PRETTY GOOD DEAL.

$100 WEATHER WHICH WAY YOU ARE ON THE FENCE FOR OR AGAINST THAT, THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A LOT OF INCENTIVE CONVERTED TO A NEW VEHICLE OR EVEN A VACATION INCENTIVE TO READ BUT AGAIN, WE ARE IN THIS DELTA VARIANT READ AND REMEMBER LAST YEAR WE TALKED ABOUT THE UK IS VERY DANGEROUS IN THE BRAZILIAN VARIANT. NOW THE DELTA ONE SEEMS TO ACTUALLY BE PRETTY SERIOUS. BECAUSE IT IS DEFINITELY EXPANDING. I STILL THINK IT'S PROBABLY WESTERNIZED AND PEOPLE WILL PROBABLY NEVER GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT BECAUSE THE LABORATORY IN WUHAN IMPORTED BATS AND MIXED THEM WITH SARS. THAT'S ASKING FOR TROUBLE.

HAT'S LIKE MIXING A WESTERN DIAMONDBACK TO A COBRA.

I DON'T THINK IT IS A GOOD THING TO READ LIKE MY PHYSICIAN SAID WHEN THEY ORIGINALLY FOUND IT IN WUHAN, IT WAS GETTING INTO PEOPLES EYES IN THAT POSITION THAT BROUGHT IT TO THE GOVERNMENT WAS PUT IN PRISON. THANK YOU.

>>ANTHONY WILLIAMS : WE ARE STILL IN A PUBLIC HEARING.

DOES ANYONE ELSE WANT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? IF SO, PLEASE GIVE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.

SEEING NO ONE I WILL CLOSE A PUBLIC HEARING.

DISCOUNTS OF ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS AND OR COMMENTS? IF NOT, I WILL ACCEPT A MOTION TO SECOND.

WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER BEARD AND SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER ALBUS . ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? WE ARE READY TO VOTE. [VOTING]

[13. Resolution: Receive a Report, Hold a Discussion and Public Hearing, and Take Action on Approving the Resolution of the Abilene Convention Center Hotel Development Corporation Authorizing the Issuance of the Corporation's Hotel Revenue Bonds; Approving Execution and Delivery of All Agreements and Documents Related to the Development, Construction and Operation of the Convention Center Hotel Project; and Enacting Other Provisions Relating to the Subject (Robert Hanna)]

MOTION CARRIES. >>ANTHONY WILLIAMS : WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM NUMBER 13. I WILL ASK THE CITY MANAGER TO

PRESENT THIS ITEM. >> THANK YOU.

I WILL BE JOINED BY GEORGE, OUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR.

WE WILL BRIEFLY GO THROUGH SOME SLIDES AND HAVE GEORGE PROVIDE MORE DETAIL ON OTHER SECTIONS OF THIS.

ITEM 13 WILL INVOLVE THE DOWNTOWN CONVENTION CENTER.

THIS IS THE ITEM IN WHICH THE CONVENTION CENTER DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION HAS ALREADY APPROVED THE ISSUANCE OF HOTEL REVENUE BONDS FOR THESE REVENUE BONDS WILL BE USED TO CONSTRUCT THE HOTEL FACILITIES. WILL BE TOO SERIES.021 A AND B. THOSE ARE THE AMOUNTS WE ANTICIPATE AT THIS TIME TO READ THEY ULD INCREASE UP TO $2 MILLION.

WE BELIEVE AT THIS POINT IN TIME THOSE ARE THE AMOUNTS THAT WILL BE ISSUED. THE STRUCTURE OF THE HOTEL IS ESSENTIALLY THISFOR THE CITY OF ABILENE WILL PROVIDE A GROUND LEASE TO THE HOTEL OWNER OR THE SHOE, WHICH ARE THE AMLIN CONVENTION CENTER DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION PRODUCING THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM AT THE BOTTOM. THE HOTEL WILL BE , IT WILL HAVE A FRANCHISE BY HILTON AND THERE WILL ALSO BE MANAGED BY HILTON. WHICH IS A GOOD INDICATION THAT

[00:30:01]

HILTON IS BULLISH ON THIS PROJECT AND HAS FAITH IN AND SUCCESS IN ARCHITECTURE, THE DESIGN BUILDER OF THE IS DPR CONSTRUCTION AND OUR DEVELOPMENT PARTNER IS GARFIELD PUBLIC-PRIVATE. THE PLAN OF FINANCE AGAIN CONSISTS ON THE FIRST SERIES OF COLUMNS, THE SERIES 2021 BOND.

YOU WILL SEE THE ISSUANCE AND THE ISSUANCE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT. THE OTHER SOURCES OF FUNDING INCLUDE EQUITY CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE ABILENE IMPROVEMENT CORPORATION AND THE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATIONS OR PROCEEDS EVEN THOUGH SAYS 23.1 MILLION.

THAT IS THE CITIES CONTRIBUTION TO THIS.

YOU WILL SEE IN A MOMENT OR ISSUANCE OF IS ABOUT TO GET ABOUT $6 MILLION AND THE REST IS EQUITY THE CITY IS PROVIDING. YOU CAN SEE THE TOTAL FINANCING. THE CHART BELOW IS AN INDICATION WITH THE GREENLINE OF THE ADJUSTED AFTER RESERVES.

UNTIL THE MONEY AVAILABLE FOR DEBT SERVICE.

AND YOU CAN SEE THE BLUE LINES ARE THE BLUE BARS ARE INDICATIVE OF THE DEBT SERVICE. THIS IS A SLIDE THAT SHOWS YOU EXACTLY WHAT IS TAKING PLACE IN THE ILLUSTRATED FORMAT.

YOU CAN SEE IN THE CITY OF ABILENE SIDE THE GREEN RECTANGLE POINTS UP TO THE CONVENTION CENTER FACILITIES AND YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE THREE COLUMNS THAT SHOW NO REPAYMENT.

THAT IS CASH. IT IS BEING USED FOR THE PROJECT. ABOUT 4.98 IN ADDITIONAL PROCEEDS FROM THE ISSUANCE OF THAT WILL BE AROUND $6 MILLION.

THIS WILL BE PAID FOR BY REVENUES DERIVED FROM THE PROJECT. SALES TAX, TOTAL OCCUPANCY TAX, THE STATE SALES TAX, THE STATE HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX WILL BE USED TO PAY THOSE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION BACK.YOU WILL SEE THE CENTER COLUMN GOING TOWARD THE LEFT NOW FOR 15.0 8 MILLION.HAT'S THE IMPROVEMENT CORPORATION IS THE EQUITY CONTRIBUTION THAT TAKES OUT THE THIRD LANE FOR THIS PROJECT. IN THE VERY BEGINNING THERE WAS 1/3 LANE THAT HAD TO BE BACKSTOPPED BY THE CITY, WHICH EXPOSED THE CITY AND TAXPAYERS TO RISK BECAUSE THEY ARE MAKING THIS DONATION THAT REMOVES THE RISK PROFILE FROM THE PROJECT AND FINALLY, USING THE ABILENE DOWNTOWN HOTEL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND YOU WILL SEE THE TWO SERIES.

THESE ARE NONRECOURSE TO THE CITY WHICH MEANS THE CITY OF ABILENE AND THE TAXPAYERS DON'T HAVE TO PAY THAT BACK.

WE ARE NOT AT RISK. ALL THAT IS PAID FOR BY THE REVENUES GENERATED BY THE HOTEL ITSELF.

THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE STAYS, THE ANCILLARY SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE HOTEL. THIS IS SCHEDULED OF AND EVENTS WE ANTICIPATE. TODAY IS A DAY COUNSEL WILL IMPROVE THE OPERATION BY THE CORPORATION UNDER STATE LAW FOR THE CORPORATION CAN ISSUE BONDS BUT IT MUST BE APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL. THAT IS WHAT WE ARE ASKING YOU TO DO TODAY. AGAIN, THERE WILL BE A LIMITED SPECIAL OPERATION OF THE CORPORATION.HEY WON'T BE TIED TO THE CITY OF ABILENE FOR REPAYMENT.

TRUST WILL BE SECURED BY MORTGAGE INTEREST AND A PROPERTY. IS IS GOING THROUGH A POTENTIAL RISK MIGHT BE AND WHAT THE RISK MENDICANTS ARE.

AND ONEÓ 46.7 PERCENT OF TOTAL SOURCES OR OTHER EQUITY CONTRIBUTIONS TO THIS PROJECT IS HEAVILY CASH FINANCE.

WHICH ALLOWS IT TO PERFORM VERY WELL HEAR THE 2028 BONDS SIRI DRUPAL B- WHICH IS AN INVESTMENT GRADE RATING.

220 1B SECOND LANE BONDS WILL BE NON-RATED.

WE MADE THE DECISION TO DO THAT BECAUSE IT FREED UP THROUGH MILLION DOLLARS IN ADDITIONAL EQUITY VERSUS GOING WITH A DOUBLE B-, WHICH IS NOT INVESTMENT BUT STILL RATED.

THE LOSS IS IMPORTANT $525,000 CONSTRUCTION DELAY CONTINGENCY.

IN THE EVENT CONSTRUCTION ASKED TO SLOW DOWN FOR SOME REASON WE HAVE MONEY AVAILABLE TO COVER. THAT IS THREE MONTHS OF CONSTRUCTION DELAYS THERE THERE WILL ALSO BE WORKING CAPITAL RESERVE WITH A $600,000 DEPOSIT FOR THE HOTEL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION FOR THAT PURPOSE. THE SHOWS THE FIRST YEARS ONE THROUGH 10 AND THE FLOW OF FUNDS.

THE FIRST YEAR IS KIND OF 1/2 YEAR.

YOU CAN SEE THROUGH YEAR 10 PRETTY GOOD LOOK AT YOUR ADJUSTMENT FOR BY THE TIME THAT YOU GET DOWN TO THE RESERVE FUNDS ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE DOWN THE SLIDE YOU SEE A SURPLUS REVENUE FUND AND ACCUMULATIVE SURPLUS FUND AFTER ALL PAYMENTS AREMADE , EXPENSES ARE EXPENDED FOR THE HOTEL OPERATIONS AFTER ALL DEBT REQUIREMENTS ARE MADE, AFTER DEBT RESERVE FUNDS ARE MADE. THIS IS THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WILL BE RETAINED BY THE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND

[00:35:06]

STORED UP FOR EXHILARATED REPAYMENT OF DEBT SERVICE REDUCE YOU BY YEAR 10 THERE IS AN EXPECTATION OF 12.4 MILLION.

IT WILL ALL BE DEPENDENT UPON THE ACTUAL PERFORMANCE OF THE HOTEL. BUT WE BELIEVE THOSE NUMBERS ARE FAIRLY SOUND. ANY QUESTIONS? I WILL ASK GEORGE TO COME UP AND HE CAN ANSWER ANY SPECIFIC

QUESTIONS COUNSEL MAY HAVE. >> FOR THE RECORD, GEORGE WITH HILLTOP SECURITIES. ROBERT DID A VERY GOOD JOB, THOROUGHGOING THROUGH WHAT WAS PRESENTED TO THE HOTEL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION BOARD LAST WEEK.

THEY APPROVE THIS AND WENT TO THE BONDS COUNCILS APPROVAL AND SO ON.I WOULD JUST REUNIFY A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT THE HOTEL REVENUE ISSUE IS BY THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CORPORATION SECURED BY THE REVENUES FOR OPERATION, THE HOTEL AND A MORTGAGE ON THE PROPERTY. SO IT'S NOT UNLIKE ANY NORMAL COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE FINANCING AND THERE IS NO EXPOSURE OR COMMITMENT OR OBLIGATION ON THE PART OF THE CITY BEHIND THAT. LIKE ROBERT SAID, IT HAS BEEN STRUCTURED VERY CONSERVATIVELY TIED TO THE MARKET STUDY DONE BY CBRE. THE SENIOR LEAGUE DEBT IS PROJECTED TO HAVE FOUR TIMES COVERAGE ANNUAL DEBT SERVICE AND AGGREGATE THE DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE INCLUDING THE SUBORDINATE WOULD HAVE FROM THE OUTSET VIRTUALLY TWO TIMES AND THEN EXCEED THAT. WHAT IS UNUSUAL IN THE STRUCTURE IS IN ADDITION TO A DEBT SERVICE RESERVE EQUAL TO ANNUAL DEBT SERVICE, THERE'S A HALF-YEAR RESERVE SUPPLEMENTAL THAT WILL BE ACCRUED AND THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL ANNUAL DEBT SERVICE AMOUNT THAT WILL BE APPROVED FROM EXCESS OPERATIONS BEFORE CERTAIN OF THE PAYMENTS CAN BE MADE OVER TIME.

SO ULTIMATELY THERE WILL BE A 2.5 TIME ANNUAL DEBT SERVICE RESERVE IN PLACE IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER MEASURES MR. HANNAH WENT OVER. I WOULD BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND THEN SAM GILL WITH BOND COUNSEL OF THE CITY END OF THE CORPORATION IS HERE WITH REGARD TO THE LEGAL STRUCTURE, IN THE LEGAL DOCUMENTS AGREEMENTS AND SO ON.

>> PRIOR TO THE PUBLIC HEARING FROMCOUNSEL ? THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS ITEM DOES CALL FOR A PUBLIC HEARING. AND SO AT THIS TIME I WILL OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM?

>> WE HAVE THREE CARDS. >>ANTHONY WILLIAMS : AFTER THAT ANY AND EVERYBODY WHO WAS TO SPEAK LOVE AN OPPORTUNITY.

THE FIRST IS. >> DAVID.

>> THINK YOU COUNSEL. DAVID FOR THE RECORD.

MR. HANNAH, JUST BE SURE YOU SAY HOTEL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION . WHEN YOU SAY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION PEOPLE THINK IT MIGHT MEAN ASSOCIATED WITH OR TYPE A SALES TAX COMPANY. THAT WE USE FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. AS FAR AS THE HOTEL, THE MAIN THING I BROUGHT IT PREVIOUSLY, I KNOW YOU HAVE A GENERAL CONTRACTOR. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH INFLUENCE HE WILL HAVE ON THAT PERSON TO HIRE LOCAL SUBCONTRACTORS FOR THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED AND WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH A GENTLEMAN, HIS DAD GOT THE ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR BILL, THE 20 STORY THINK OUR FIRM CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW MUCH WIRING AND CONDUIT WAS PULLED IN THAT BUILDING? THAT'S INCREDIBLE. SAME THING HERE WITH THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT WE ARE GOING TO PUT DOWN HERE ACROSS FROM THE CONVENTION CENTER. I HOPE WE TRY TO GET EITHER BIG COUNTRY COMPANIES, PLUMBING OR ELECTRICAL.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE USE FOR CONSTRUCTION.

I GUESS CONCRETE AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

BUT I WOULD HATE TO SEE OUR LOCAL CONTRACTORS OVERLOOKED IN THIS POSSIBLE THE PROJECT IN THE FUTURE.

WE NEED TO TRY TO REBOUND OUR ECONOMY SOME WITH POSSIBLY GETTING LOCAL CONTRACTS FOR SOME PEOPLE, WHETHER IT'S ELECTRIC OR PLUMBING OR ANYBODY.

I WOULD HATE TO SEE WHEN YOU PUT THE TRUCK TRUE TRAILERS UP, EXPECTS COMPANY IN DALLAS OR HOUSTON OR SOMETHING AND WE CAN POSSIBLY AT ALL TALK TO OUR MAIN CONTRACTOR AND HOPEFULLY

[00:40:03]

THEY WILL HIRE LOCAL GRID ANOTHER IS A BID PROCESS WHEN YOU'RE DOING SUBCONTRACTING UNDER A MAIN CONTRACTOR.

BUT I HOPE OUR LOCAL CONTRACTORS WILL BID ON IT AND TRY TO GET JOBS FOR OUR LOCAL PEOPLE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> BETTY CUTICLE?

>> GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SPEAK FOR YOU I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO ONLY YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION AND SACRIFICES FOR SERVING US.

WE APPRECIATE IT. AND I DON'T THINK YOU HEAR THAT OFTEN ENOUGH ROOM I'M IN FAVOR THE FULL-SERVICE HOTEL BECAUSE IT WILL BE A CORNERSTONE FOR INCREASING THE VIBRANT DOWNTOWN ACTIVITIES ALREADY TAKING PLACE AND HELP US ATTRACT NEW BUSINESSES, WHICH WILL THEN INCREASE OUR TAX REVENUE AND SUPPORT OUR ECONOMY THROUGH THE ONE TIDBIT YOU MAY NOT KNOW IS IN 2019 PRIOR TO OUR COVERT OUTBREAK, UNTIL OCCUPANCY AND RATE HIT AN ALL-TIME HIGH. AND YEAR TO DATE AS OF NOW WE HAVE EXCEEDED THAT. SO THERE IS PROOF THERE IS A LOT OF DESIRE FOR BEDS IN ABILENE TEXAS AND BY BUILDING THIS HOTEL WE WILL HELP SUPPORT ALL THE REVENUE THAT CAN COME IN FOR THAT. THE NUMBER ONE CRITERIA FOR MEETING EVENT PLANNERS IS TWOFOLD.

TO ME UNDER ONE ROOF AND BE WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF THE CONVENTION CENTER. AND THIS WOULD SERVE BOTH OF THOSE PURPOSES. AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR THE PARAMOUNT THEATER FROM 1989 UNTIL 2018, I WAITED FOR THIS.

YEARLY. EVERY YEAR.

AND IT NEVER HAPPENED. AND SO BEFORE I DIE, WOULDN'T THAT BE A LOVELY THING? AND THAT CAN HAPPEN ANY TIME.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO SINCERELY SUPPORT THIS EFFORT AND CONGRATULATE YOU FOR THE PROGRESS YOU MADE IN MR. HANNAH, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK YOU AND THE CITY HAVE DON . THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> COLONEL MICHAEL BOB STARR? I KNOW YOU DIDN'T PUT COLONEL,

BUT YOU EARNED IT. >> THANK YOU MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

I AM RETIRED COLONEL MICHAEL BOB START NICER 23 YEARS BEFORE RETIRING IN 2015 MAKE ABILENE MY HOME.

HERE TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THE DOWNTOWN HOTEL PROPOSAL AND I WOULD LIKE TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO TWO THINGS.

IS THE INSTALLATION COMMANDER, I PURSUED AND INITIATED MANY PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS AND DID SO BECAUSE THESE PARTNERSHIPS ARE OFTEN THE MOST FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE WAY TO USE PUBLIC MONEY TO CREATE PUBLIC VALUE AND I BELIEVE THAT IS TRUE OF THE DOWNTOWN HOTEL PROJECT.

SECOND, EVERY YEAR HUNDREDS OF AIRMEN AND THEIR SERVICE TO THE AIR FORCE AND FACE A CHOICE ON WHERE TO PUT DOWN ROOTS IN WHICH COMMUNITY THEY ARE GOING TO CALL HOME.

SOME OF THE THINGS THEY WILL CONSIDER WHEN THEY MAKE THIS DECISION IS WHETHER OR NOT A COMMUNITY HAS A VISION AND WILLING TO INVEST IN THAT VISION PREVENTING AIRMEN ALREADY CHOOSE TO MAKE THE BIG COUNTRY THEIR PERMANENT HOME AND I BELIEVE OUR COMMUNITY IS RICHER FOR THE TALENT AND EXPERIENCE TO BRING TO IT IF I SAY SO MYSELF.AND THE TAKING THIS INVESTMENT IN AN ATTRACTION LIKE THE DOWNTOWN HOTEL WILL MAKE IT LIKELY THAT MORE FUTURE AIRMEN WILL CHOOSE TO CALL ALVA LINDHOLM AND I FOR ONE THINK THAT'S A GOOD THING.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >>ANTHONY WILLIAMS : WHAT ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM?

>> THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.

I COME FORWARD TO SPEAK ON BEHALF ON THE PROJECT WHICH IS THE PRIVATE SECTOR PARTNER IN MANY PROJECTS.

BUT JUST TO HIGHLIGHT THE SUPPORT AS A PROUD MEMBER OF THE CITY AND PROUD MMBER OF THE DEVONIAN ABILENE TEAM.

I WOULD NEED TO GIVE YOU A FEW STATISTICS THAT ARE EXAMPLES OF THE TRUE PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNER PARTNERSHIP OR IN INVEST FOUNDATION PROVIDED THREE AND A $40,000 OF INITIAL SEED MONEY, $150,000 TOWARD A DOWNTOWN PLA , $30,000 FOR VISION CASTING AND DEVELOPING FOR THE RFP FOR THE HOTEL AND $75,000 FOR THE HOTEL FRANCHISE FEE. WE FEEL LIKE THIS IS A PROJECT LONG OVERDUE. WE FEEL LIKE IT IS A PROJECT THAT IS WELL POSITIONED IN ABILENE TEXAS TO MAKE A MAJOR DIFFERENCE IN OUR DOWNTOWN, BUT AS OUR CITY AS A WHOLE.

ON BEHALF OF THE INDUSTRIAL FOUNDATION, I WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO SUPPORT AND PASS THIS MEASURE.

[00:45:01]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION FROM PRIVATE SECTOR AND ALL THE HOURS OF DUE DILIGENCE. AND OTHERS HAVE PUT IN.

THANK YOU SIR! YOU ARE WELCOME.

>> I JUST WAS GOING TO ASK WHO WAS THE ÃCOULD YOU IDENTIFY

YOURSELF? >> LET ME CHECK MY DRIVERS LICENSE. GARY.

CHAIRMAN OF THE INDUSTRIAL ABILENE FOUNDATION.>ANTHONY WILLIAMS : ANYONE ELSE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? SEEING NO ONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. ROBERT HANNA?

>> SIR. >>ANTHONY WILLIAMS : THANK YOU.

ONE OF THE THINGS YOU ARE TASKED WHEN YOU WERE HIRED TO SEE IF THIS WAS VIABLE. AND YOU HAVE SPENT ALMOST EVERY THURSDAY OF THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS WORKING TOWARD THAT END.

SHANE PRICE. I WENT TO THE FIRST INITIAL MEETING. AFTER FOUR HOURS OF A PHONE CONFERENCE I DEFERRED TO SHANE PRICE.

SHANE, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT YOU PUT IN REPRESENTING THE COUNCIL. I APPRECIATE YOU.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO SAY, I ATTEND THE MEETINGS OVER THE PHONE AND ZOOM AS THAT BECAME A THING.

BUT WHEN YOU HEAR THE MEETING YOU REALIZE HOW MANY HOURS THOSE MEMBERS HAVE PUT IN. LIKE SAM AND GEORGE AND OTHERS THAT WERE WORKING DILIGENTLY TOWARD SOME OF THEM STAYING UP LATE, TAKING CALLS ON VACATION AND IT HAS BEEN A MONUMENTAL EFFORT BY THE WHOLE TEAM. I APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S HARD

WORK. >> ON ECHO THAT.

THERE IS AN ARMY OF PEOPLE BEHIND THIS PROJECT TO WORKING TO GET THIS DONE AT THE COUNCILS REQUEST.

SAM GILL HAS BEEN A HEAVY LIFTER AT THE VERY END.

HIS ABILITY TO NAVIGATE THE LEGAL WATERS AND THE AGREEMENTS MAKE SURE HILTON IS COMFORTABLE ON THE ATTORNEY GENERAL IS COMFORTABLE AND THE UNDERWRITERS ARE COUNTABLE AND STANLEY IS COMFORTABLE HAS REALLY BEEN ART AND HE DESERVES A LOT OF THE CREDIT FOR GETTING WHERE WE ARE.

GEORGE WILLIFORD STUDY HAND AND GUIDANCE AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL AS WELL AND THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM HAS BEEN EXCEPTIONALLY HELPFUL AS WELL.

WE WOULDN'T BE HERE WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO ASSEMBLE A SOLID TEAM. IT IS NOT ONE PERSONS WORK EFFORT FOR THIS IS A TEAM THAT HAS DONE THIS.ERY THANKFUL

WE ASSEMBLED AN EXCELLENT TEAM. >> SINCE WE WEREBLOWING KISSES, I WOULD BE REMISS NOT TO THINK PETER'S AND THE CHAMBER .

THE 15.1 MILLION GIFTED TO THE AIC, WHICH IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE CITY OF ABILENE. BUT THOSE ARE GIFTS BY PRIVATE SECTOR ENTITIES THAT ARE GIVEN. WE HAVE 44 MILLION THAT WILL COME FROM THE PRIVATE SECTOR EARLY ON PRINT REPRESENTATIVE LAMBERTS, DON BUCKINGHAM WAS SENATE BILL 2445.

THINK THE NUMBER WAS. A LOT OF THINGS HAVE HAPPENED.

THIS HAS BEEN A 30 YEAR ABILENE CONVERSATION.

THE LEAD AN EFFORT THAT PRODUCED AN RFP IN 2016.

NORM IS NOT HERE TODAY, BUT WITHOUT THE DUE DILIGENCE AND STUBBORNNESS WE WOULD NOT EVEN HAVE THIS CONVERSATION.

THANK ALL OF THE PRINCIPLES FOR THEIR INVESTMENT.

>> ONE MORE PERSON WE NEED TO MENTION IF WE ARE BLOWING KISSES IS NANCY. SHE HAS BEEN WORKING TIRELESSLY

SWITCHES HERE TODAY. >> SHE IS.

[CLAPPING] >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR

LEADERSHIP, NANCY. >> I THINK THE WHOLE COMMUNITY IS EXCITED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE OF THE INVESTMENT IN OUR DOWNTOWN IN ANTICIPATION OF THIS HOTEL.

AND SO WE WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR SEEING THE POSSIBILITY AND WHAT THIS HOTEL WILL BRING TO ABILENE.

>> I WANT TO COMMENT ON THAT TOO.

I KNOW WHEN YOU AND I FIRST RAN TOGETHER, WE HAVE BEEN IN SUPPORT OF THIS PROJECT ALL THE TIME.

THIS IS THE TOOL THEY NEED. HEY WANT THIS WEAPON IN THEIR TOOLBOX AND IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING.

GEORGE, I WANT TO SEND A SHOUT OUT TO YOU GETTING TO MEET WITH YOU IN AUSTIN OR YOUR TIRELESS EFFORT.

[00:50:01]

I CAN'T COMPLEMENT SHANE PRICE ENOUGH.F ANYONE ON THE COUNCIL SPENT MORE TIME IT IS SHANE PRICE.

WE CAN'T GIVE HIM ENOUGH KUDOS FOR THIS.

I'M GLAD THIS DAY IS HERE. >> ON THE THIRD LONGEST-SERVING COUNCIL MEMBER OF YOUR AND WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS HOTEL FOR A LONG TIME FROM GLAD WE ARE FINALLY GETTING READY TO DO THIS. BETTY, IF YOU START FEELING BAD LET US KNOW SO WE CAN BUILD IT QUICKER.

OKAY? BECAUSE WE WANT TO DEFINITELY DO THAT.'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS AND WHERE IS COLONEL STARR? I NEVER RECOGNIZED IF YOU HAVE FACIAL HAIR OR NOT, BUT I GUESS YOU WOULD SAY WHEELS UP.

AND I AM EXCITED ABOUT IT AS WELL.

>> LOOKING AT THAT PERMIT SMILE ON NANCY'S FACE, I WOULD LIKE

TO MAKE A MOTION. >> AND I WILL ACCEPT THAT MOTION AND I WILL MAKE THAT SECOND.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANYMORE, NOR DISCUSSION? WE ARE READY TO VOTE. [VOTING] MOTION CARRIES. [CLAPPING]

>> SHANE, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ON THURSDAYS NOW?

[14. Ordinance (Final Reading): Receive a Report, Hold a Discussion and Public Hearing, and Take Action on Authorizing the Issuance of City of Abilene, Texas Combination Tax and Limited Surplus Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series 2021A; Establishing Procedures and Delegating Authority for the Sale and Delivery of the Certificates; Providing an Effective Date; and Enacting other Provisions Relating to the Subject (Mike Rains)]

>> WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM NUMBER 14 BOARD I WILL ASK MIKE, DIRECTOR OF FINANCE, TO PRESENT THIS ITEM.

>> THIS ITEM WILL AUTHORIZE THE ISSUANCE OF 23.$6 MILLION OF TERRIFIC ADVOCATES OF OBLIGATION FOR STREET PROJECTS RELATED TO MAPLE STREET AND EAST NORTH 10TH STREET.

THE ORDINANCE WILL BE A PERIMETER ORDINANCE, WHICH WILL DELEGATE THE AUTHORITY TO ACT ON THE CERTIFICATES TO THE PRICING OFFICERS. MAXIMUM AMOUNT IS 23.6 MILLION AND IS ONE OF THE PARAMETERS. ANOTHER ONE IS THE INTEREST COST CANNOT PROCEED SIX PERCENT IN FINAL MATURITY CANNOT BE LONGER THAN FEBRUARY 15 OF 2042.

AND THE DELEGATION WILL EXPIRE IN 90 DAYS IF NOT ACTED UPON.

REPAYMENT FOR THE BONDS WILL COME FROM OUR TAXES EVERY YEAR AND WE HAVE INCLUDED THIS IN OUR 22 BUDGET.

I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.> WE ALSO HAVE GEORGE HEAR WHO HAS A WHOLE PRESENTATION TOO.

>> QUESTIONS FOR THE COUNCIL PRIOR TO THE PUBLIC HEARING?

COUNCILMEMBER PRICE. >>SHANE PRICE : GEORGE HAS A

PRESENTATION. >> I WILL KEEP THIS VERY BRIEF.

WE PROVIDED INFORMATION TO MIKE.

UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T THINK IT IS AVAILABLE ON THE SCREEN.

BUT IN THE PACKAGE HANDED OUT TO YOU, AND SUMMARIZES WHAT MIKE DID WITH REGARDS TO THE STREET CO ISSUE.

IS A STANDARD 20 YEAR LEVEL REPAYMENT AT CONSERVATIVE RATES AROUND 1,000,005 60 PER YEAR. IF IT WOULD PLEASE THE COUNCIL, I CAN QUICKLY GO OVER A PREVIEW OF THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM WITH REGARD TO THE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION FOR THE CONVENTION FACILITIES AT THE HOTEL. THIS IS A LITTLE MORE MATERIAL AND HAS MORE SUBSTANCE THAN WHAT I JUST COVERED BRIEFLY.

WE DID THAT BY PURPOSE. IN THE PACKAGE I HANDED OUT ON PAGE 3 A SHOWS THE REVENUES. THE CERTIFICATE OF OBLIGATION ISSUE WILL BE REPAID FROM THE LOCAL HOTEL MOTEL TAX GENERATED BY THE HOTEL ITSELF AND ALSO FOR A 10 YEAR PERIOD, THE STATE HOTEL MOTEL TAX AND SALES TAX GENERATED BY THE HOTEL.

AND ON PAGE 3 IT SUMMARIZES THOSE PROJECTED REVENUES OVER THAT TIME PERIOD. AND I WILL JUST MENTION WE DISCOUNTED THE CBRE LEVELS OF OPERATION AS FAR AS OCCUPANCY IN COMING TO THIS. BUT WHAT YOU CAN SEE FOR THE FIRST 10 YEARS THE TOTAL REVENUES TO SUPPORT THAT SERVICE OF THE CERTIFICATE OF OBLIGATION ISSUE IS PROJECTED TO BE A MILLION 591 PER YEAR IN THE COURSE WHEN THE STATE DROPS OFF IT WOULD DROP DOWN TO ABOUT 850,000 PER YEAR THEREAFTER.

ON PAGE 4 THE STATED STRUCTURE AND REPAYMENT OF THIS ISSUE IS SHOWN. AND YOU CAN SEE IN THE MIDDLE: THE ISSUE WILL BE STRUCTURED WITH A 15 YEAR REPAYMENT TERM AND IT'S ALSO THE REPAYMENT STRUCTURE IN ACCORDANCE THE PROJECTED REVENUES AND JUST WENT OVER WITH YOU.

SO THAT THE COVERAGE AT THE DISCOUNTED LEVEL OF THE DEBT SERVICE WILL BE AT LEAST 1.5 TIMES PER YEAR OF ANNUAL DEBT SERVICE BY THOSE REVENUES. AND YOU CAN SEE THE RESULTS IN

[00:55:06]

MILLION PER YEAR CONCEIVABLY AS TIME GOES BY THROUGH THE ISSUE WILL HAVE A SHORT CALL FEATURE. FIVE YEARS REPAYABLE AT PAR OR FACE VALUE. AND SO IT'S HOPE SOMETIMES THAT FIFTH YEAR WITH HER AFTER THERE WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BEGIN AND ULTIMATELY RETIRE THE ISSUE WELL BEFORE THE 15 YEAR REPAYMENT TERM. AND AT THAT POINT ALL THE SALES AND MOTEL HOTEL TAXES WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR OTHER USES.

I WOULD BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT EITHER OF THE

OBLIGATION ISSUES. >> THANK YOU.

QUESTIONS PRIOR TO THE PUBLIC HEARING.

>> FOR THE PUBLIC UNFORTUNATELY WE DON'T HAVE THE SLIDE AVAILABLE, BUT THE TOTAL COMBINED STATE AND LOCAL REVENUES OVER THE TERM OF THE DEAD IS 19.2 MILLION TOTAL REVENUE. THE TOTAL DEBT SERVICE PRINCIPAL IS 7.8 MILLION. LEADING A SURPLUS OF 11.3 MILLION. AND THAT IS STRESS TESTING THE REPORT. THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS IS THE WAY WE STRUCTURED THIS DEAL IS TO MAKE SURE WE DO NOT PUT THE TAXPAYER AT RISK THROUGH THERE'S ALWAYS RISKING EVERYTHING WE DO. THIS IS OUR RISK COMPONENT.

WE STRUCTURED THIS SO WE CAN MAKE CERTAIN AS BEST AS WE ARE ABLE THAT THE TAXPAYER IS PROTECTED.

WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT THE GENEROUS ASSISTANCE OF ANONYMOUS DONORS IN THE ABILENE IMPROVEMENT CORPORATION. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IS

ALSO STATED. >> QUESTIONS PRIOR TO PUBLIC

HEARING? >> ITEM WE ARE LOOKING AT IS 23.6 MILLION 2020 1A, WHICH IS FOR STREET CONSTRUCTION AND THE ANTICIPATION IS IT WILL BE MAPLE STREET IN EAST NORTH 10TH STREET. BUT IT IS WRITTEN IN SUCH A WAY IT CAN BE USED ON STREETS AND OTHER PLACES OF THE CITY.

COMES IN UNDER BUDGET AND WE HAVE MONEY AVAILABLE LEFT OVER FROM THE BOND SALE WE CAN PUT THAT IN THE STREET.

>> THAT IS CORRECT, SIR. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS PRIOR TO THE PUBLIC PHEARING?AT THIS TIME I WILL OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING PERMIT IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK EITHER FOR OR AGAINST THISITEM? I BELIEVE WE HAVE ONE FOR DAVID, WE WILL INVITE YOU TO

THE PODIUM . >> ONCE AGAIN, DAVID.

PREVIOUSLY A COUPLE MONTHS AGO YOU MENTIONED ABOUT THE STREETS. I DOWNLOADED THIS PACKET VERY LATE LAST NIGHT AND I DID NOT TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK AT IT.

BUT NOT THE STREET MAINTENANCE MEETING IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS NOW. THEY APPROVE THE CONTRIBUTION FROM ALMOND STREET ALL THE WAY TO 322.ND WANTED TO PACKAGE IT WITH A WATER REPLACEMENT LINE IN THE CONCRETE REPLACEMENT REQUIRED OF THE SECTION OF THE NORTH AND, WHICH IS A PROBLEM ISSUE. AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT SAYS ON HERE ON THE SCREEN OR NOT. BUT HOW MUCH PORTION OVER THE CONTRIBUTION IS A CITY FOOTING FOR THE CONCRETE REINFORCEMENT, THE WATER LINE REPLACEMENT. IT IS PROBABLY IN THE PACKET, BUT LIKE I SAID, I DIDN'T LOOK. REMEMBER PEOPLE HERE IN T.V.

LAND, THIS IS A VOTE ON A BOND THAT YOU HAVE NO INPUT.

IT IS JUST LIKE WHEN THEY DECIDED TO REMODEL KMART AND BUILD A NEW POLICE STATION, COURTROOM AND WATER SERVICE CENTER. BUT YET OUR FIRE CHIEF SAYS WE NEED A FIRE STATION OUT THERE ON THE SOUTH END OF TOWN FOR THE NOTHING GOES FAST WITH THE GOVERNMENT.

SO EVEN IF YOU DID DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT STATION, IT WOULD BE WELL OVER A YEAR OR MORE BEFORE IT WOULD BE OPERATIONAL.

REMEMBER PEOPLE OUT THERE, CALL 676-6205 UNTIL THE MAYOR'S OFFICE HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT FIRE PROTECTION.

THEY ARE GOING TO PASS A VOLUNTEER FOR THE HOTEL.

BUT THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO PASS ADDITIONAL STREET BONDS AND THERE IS NO PUBLIC INPUT EXCEPT IF YOU ARE HERE TO TALK IN PERSON. THERE IS NO VOTER ANYTHING FOR IT IS GOOD IF THERE IS ANY LEFT OVER TO ADD TO THE STREET FUND.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH THIS MORNING FOR THAT.

>> THANK YOU. DAVID ONCE AGAIN PERMIT FOR THE PEOPLE OUT THERE WATCHING IN T.V. LAND THAT DON'T GET TO COME TO THE COUNCIL MEETING OR MAY SEE THIS MONTH FROM NOW, BUT THE SECOND PART IS OUTLINING ONLY BONDS.

IF YOU LOOK TO ANY OF THE HOTEL DRAWINGS, THE FLAT PART IS THE CITY PART GREEDINESS AND THEY SAY PUBLIC, PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP. THE LITTLE FLAT PARTS OF THE BUILDING, THAT IS YOUR BALLROOM OR MEETING ROOM OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO REFER TO IT AS. SO THAT IS WHAT THIS BOND COVERS. THE GENTLEMAN WAS TOLD IN THIS PRESENTATION PREVIOUSLY. I DON'T REALLY HAVEANY ISSUES WITH IT , I WANT TO CLARIFY. FROM THOSE WHO MAY WATCH IT NOW ON TO KNOW THIS IS ACTUALLY THE CITY FACILITIES.

BIG CALLS ANY PART. IS THE PARTS THAT THE HOTEL HAD THE ROOMS IN. WITH THE FLAT PARTS BEHIND IT AND ARE ADJACENT TO IT ARE THE MEETING ROOMS IN SUCH LIKE THAT ARE REALLY GOING TO BE CITY FACILITIES.HICH IS A GOOD THING BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN BEFORE AND THEY HAD CONVENTIONS HERE AND HAD OVERFLOW OR WHATEVER AND LIKE I SAID PREVIOUSLYABOUT THE HOTEL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE TIMELINE IS . MAYBE WE WILL FIND OUT EVENTUALLY WITH THE COVID SURGERY.

WHEN YOU DO HAVE THEIR REHAB TELETHON, THAT WOULD BE MIGHTY CONVENIENT FOR ALL THE PEOPLE ATTENDING IT FROM OUT OF TOWN TO HAVE A REAL NICE HOTEL ACROSS THE STREET.

ALSO, WHEN WE HAVE GRADUATION WEEK IN WESTERN HERITAGE, EVEN THIS PAST YEAR THEY SAID THAT HOTELS RAN OUT.

YOU SEE ALL THESE NEW HOTELS THREE OR FOUR STORY JOBS AROUND TOWN AND YOU THINK WE STILL RAN OUT HOTEL SPACE? AND SO THIS IS OBVIOUSLY GOING TO HELP AT LEAST DURING THE WEEKEND ALSO. SO I DEFINITELY AFFORD THAT.

BUT THIS SECTION HERE IS FOR THE CITY PART AND NOT FOR THE HOTEL PART. THANK YOU VERY MUCH COUNCIL.

RODNEY TAYLOR, DIRECTOR OF WATER UTILITIES.

THIS ITEM IS A BID TO WESTERN MUNICIPAL CONSTRUCTION OF TEXAS WHERE THE SECOND PRESSURE PLANE SUPPLY LINE PHASE I PROJECT.

A VALLEY OF THE CONTRACT AND $7,295,724.

AND THIS IS FOR A POP LINE USING PVC PIPE.

YOU CAN SEE THE SECOND BULLET ON THE SCREEN NOW IS THAT WE DID BECAUSE OF THE VOLATILITY IN THE PVC MARKET.

WE DID TAKE AN ALTERNATE BID FOR USE OF THE PIPE.

THAT SERVE TWO PURPOSES. TO GIVE US ANOTHER PRODUCT TO LOOK AT AND IT ALSO PROVIDED A SIGN OF COMPETITIVENESS WITH

[01:05:03]

PVC PIPE AS WE DID THE BID PROCESS.

WILL ALSO NOTE THERE IS AN OWNERS ALLOWANCE IN THIS CONTRACT OF $250,000, WHICH WILL BE USED SPECIFICALLY AT THE DIRECTION OF THE OWNER FOR THINGS LIKE, THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS RIGHT NOW.

THE 30 INCH PRESSURE PLANE PIPELINES PHASE 1 WILL GO FOR BASICALLY BUFFALO GAP TOWER, BUFFALO GAP ROAD ALONG REBECCA LANE AND BOULEVARD TO JENNINGS DRIVE.

THIS IS PHASE 1 OF ADDITIONAL PHASES TO CONTINUE THAT TO THE NORTHWEST PUMP STATION AND A NEW PUMP STATION AT A LATER DATE AS PART OF OUR IMPROVEMENTS DISCUSSED IN OUR CIP PROJECT LIST. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

>> QUESTIONS FOR COUNSEL PRIOR TO THE PUBLIC HEARING?> FOR CLARITY, YOU SAID THERE IS AN ALTERNATE.

WHAT YOU ARE RECOMMENDING IS THE PVC?

>> I AM GREAT I BELIEVE WHEN WE LOOK AT A PROJECT LIKE THIS WE ARE LOOKING AT A 50 TO 100 YEAR INVESTMENT.

AND WE BELIEVE THAT ADDITIONAL MILLION DOLLARS IS WORTH IT TO HAVE A PRODUCT WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT CORROSION FOR THE

LENGTH OF THE PROJECT. >> I AGREE BROKEN AND THAT IS YOUR RECOMMENDATION IN THE PACKET.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE UNDERSTOOD THAT SINCE IT TALKS ABOUT THE IRON BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT WE ARE CONSIDERING.

ITEM. >> RODNEY TAYLOR DIRECTOR OF AUDIT UTILITIES. THIS ITEM IS AN AMENDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF ABILENE AND RAYMOND STATE AND IVERS ROAD SOUTH PHASE 2. THIS IS RELATED TO AN AGREEMENT APPROVED IN 2003 THAT ALLOWED A DEVELOPER TO DEVELOP AN AREA OF PROPERTY OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS ALONG 84 AND REMINGTON ROAD AREA. AND AT THAT TIME, NEGOTIATING FOR AN EASEMENT FOR A PIPELINE ASSOCIATED WITH OUR PIPELINE PROJECT. WE NEGOTIATED A CONNECTION WITH THE SEWER LINE ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH THAT PROJECT THAT ALLOWED THIS DEVELOPMENT TO CONNECT RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION TO THOSE FACILITIES, THOSE SEWER FACILITIES.

AT THAT TIME OF NEGOTIATION IT WAS UNDERSTOOD THAT WOULD ALLOW

[01:10:09]

THEM TO CONNECT ADJACENT PROPERTY DESIGNATED FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AT THAT TIME.

THE DEVELOPER IS NOW READY TO PUT SOME COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT THERE IN THE RECORDS WE HAVE ON FILE RIGHT NOW DO NOT MAKE IT CLEAR ABOUT WHAT THE INTENT OF THAT AGREEMENT WAS AT THAT TIME. I JUST HAPPENED TO BE THE ONLY ONE LEFT AROUND THAT ACTUALLY KNOWS WHAT WAS DISCUSSED AT THAT TIME, AND IT IS MY RECOLLECTION THAT IS THE INTENT OF PUTTING THAT STATEMENT AND THAT AGREEMENT AT THAT TIME WAS THAT THE CITY WOULD SERVE THAT AREA DESIGNATED IN THIS PICTURE HERE FOR COMMERCIAL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE ALLOWED TO CONNECT TO THE CITY SEWER.

MOTION CARRIES. >>ANTHONY WILLIAMS : MOVED TO ITEM 20 AND WE WILL ASK GREG MCCAFFREY TO PRESENT THIS ITEM.

>> GOOD MORNING MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.

WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU IS A FINAL READING BOARD NORDNESS AMENDMENT WITHIN OUR CITY CODE. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING TO DO IS AMEND AS FAR AS THE CODE TO ADDRESS SOME CHANGES THAT WOULD BE PART OF THE DOWNTOWN HOTEL PROJECT.

THE FIRST CHANGES THE CHANGE NORTH FIFTH STREET FROM GREAT STREET TO PLUM STREET FROM ONE-WAY TRAFFIC TO TWO-WAY TRAFFIC. THIS WILL ALLOW INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE GOING INTO THE HOTEL AND TRAVERSING DOWN CYPRESS STREET TO TURN RIGHT ONTO NORTH FIFTH AND ULTIMATELY ENTER INTO THE PARKING LOT THAT WILL BE TOO THE WEST OF THE HOTEL.

THE OTHER CHANGE THAT'S BEEN RECOMMENDED IS TO CHANGE CYPRESS STREET FROM NORTH FIFTH TO NORTH SIXTH AND CHANGE THAT FROM ONE-WAY TO TWO-WAY. AGAIN, THIS WILL ALLOW AS FAR AS TRAFFIC TO GO TO AND FROM THE HOTEL AS WELL AS THE

CONVENTION CENTER. >> QUESTIONS PRIOR TO THE

PUBLIC HEARING. >> WITH REGARD TO THE ONE-WAY CHANGE ON CYPRUS, IS THERE A CONCERN THAT PEOPLE MIGHT GO THE WRONG WAY SINCE CONTINUING SOUTH WOULD BE GOING THE WRONG WAY, OR GOING TO HAVE SOME KIND OF VERY BARRIER OR SOMETHING

THAT MAKES IT REAL OBVIOUS? >> WE WILL ADDRESS THAT THROUGH SIGNAGE AND SIGNAL AS ASIAN AS FAR AS IN THAT AREA.

WE DID HAVE AN INITIAL CONCERN ABOUT THE OFFSET, BUT WE BELIEVE WE CAN ADDRESS THAT THROUGH A DESIGN.

THERE ARE DESIGN PLANS ALREADY THAT ARE ABOUT 95 PERCENT COMPLETE. EVEN MORE SO FOR THAT PIECE OF CYPRUS AS WELL AS NORTH SIXTH ALREADY.

THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PIECES THAT ULTIMATELY WILL NEED TO BE COORDINATED. WE HAVE STRIPING DURING GOING ON IN THE DOWNTOWN. WE WILL HAVE IN THE NEAR FUTURE

[01:15:06]

BROUGHT BEFORE YOU A REQUEST TO CONTRACT FOR RECENT NOVELIZATION OF THAT NORTH FIFTH.

THAT PIECE NEEDS TO COME INTO PLAY AS WELL AS THIS RECONSTRUCTION PIECE OF CYPRUS OF NORTH SIXTH.

THERE ARE SEVERAL PIECES THAT ARE GOING TO MAKE THAT WORK.

WE WILL ADDRESS YOUR CONCERN THROUGH SIGNAGE AND SIGNAL A

STATION. >>ANTHONY WILLIAMS : ANY QUESTIONS PRIOR TO THE PUBLIC HEARING?AT THIS TIME I WILL OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING. IS OR ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? WE ONE CARD.ILL ASK DAVID TO

THE PODIUM AT THIS TIME. >> ONCE AGAIN DAVID FOR THE RECORD. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT STREET CHANGES. PREVIOUSLY IN THE DOCUMENT I DID CATCH THAT FLAW AND IT IS TRUE.

SO I HOPE EVERYBODY CHECK TO MAKE SURE.

PREVIOUSLY SAID YOU WERE GOING TO ABANDON CYPRESS STREET.

WHAT YOU MEAN CEDAR. THERE IS NO MENTION OF IT ABOUT ABANDONING CEDAR YET. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT WHEN YOU TURN SIX AND A CYPRESS THAT IT WOULD BE TWO-WAY OVER NORTH FIRST. YOU PROBABLY NEED TO CLARIFY THAT. BUT I NOTICED YOU SAID YOU WOULD GO FROM GREAT TO PLUM. THERE IS NO SIGNAL ARM ON THE WEST END SO AGAIN, YOU HAVE TO PUT A SIGNAL ARM THERE.

AGAIN, WE HAVE SEVERAL NUMEROUS INTERSECTIONS THAT WILL HAVE TO HAVE SIGNAL AS ASIAN UPGRADES PRODUCE A YOU WILL DO FROM THE MINOR IMPROVEMENT FUND, BUT WILL YOUR OTHER PRESENTATIONS YOU WOULD USE $8 MILLION OF THAT FOR SOMETHING ELSE AND NOW IT IS ABOUT A 4.$5 MILLION FUND.

BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GOT THE DOCUMENTATION CORRECT BECAUSE LAST TIME IT DID SAY ABANDONMENT OF CYPRUS.

BUT THERE WAS NO MENTION TODAY ABOUT ABANDONMENT OF CEDAR ATLAS THAT IS IN A FUTURE MEETING.

BUT IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THEY BORE UNDERNEATH THE STREET. THAT HAS GOT TO BE INCREDIBLE TO BORE HORIZONTALLY. I CAN IMAGINE.

IN THE OLD DAYS YOU USE A DITCH WHICH CUT A TROUGH AND YOU PUT YOUR WIRING IN AND COVERED UP. AND IF THE STREET WAS JUST FIXED HE WOULDN'T WANT TO DAMAGE THE STREET.

HUSTLE I HAVE ON THE SUBJECT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

IT ALSO HAS A PROHIBITION OF THE STREET CONNECTION TO THE ADJACENT RV TRAVEL TRAILER PARK TO THE WEST AND RESTRICTIONS PERMITTING CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE NORTHERN FIVE ACRES IN THE SOUTHERN FIVE ACRES.

THIS IS THE SITE EXHIBIT SHOWING THE WAY THE TWO BAY ZONINGS WOULD BE LAID OUT ON THE THREE TRUCKS THROUGH THIS WAS PROVIDED BY JACOB AND MARTIN.

THIS IS THE PROPOSED GRAPHIC CONCEPT PLAN THAT DEPICTS EMMETT D ON THE NORTHERN 12 ACRES AND RS SIX ON THE SOUTHERN TO ACRES. THE DARK LINE YOU SEE THERE BETWEEN THE TWO ZONINGS IS THE ONLY RESTRICTION IN THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DRAFT ORDINANCE AND IT'S TO BE LATE SNOW STREET CONNECTION SHALL BE ALLOWED BETWEEN TRACK ONE, THE MEDIUM DENSITY AREA BOUNDARIES AND TRACKS TO AND THREE WHICH ARE THE RS SIX BOUNDARIES. THIS RESTRICTION EFFECTIVELY REMOVES ANY ACCESS ROAD BETWEEN THE NORTHERN 12 ACRES AND THE SOUTHERN TO ACRES. HERE ARE THE VIEWS OF SUBJECT PROPERTY AND ADJACENT PROPERTIES.

IS A NOTIFICATION MAP SHOWING THE TWO IN FAVOR AND 10 IN OPPOSITION WITHIN THE NOTIFICATION AREA IS GOING TO GO 18 OUT OF THE AREA, MANY OF WHICH ARE NOT DEPICTED ON THE MAP FOR EVEN THIS MORNING I RECEIVED THREE MORE IN OPPOSITION. HOWEVER, THE OVERWHELMING EXTENT OF THAT OPPOSITION COMMENTS ARE FROM THOSE IN OPPOSITION TO DIRECT REFERENCE OF AND ACCESS FROM INTERSTATE 20 FROM STANFORD ACCESS ROAD INTO THE SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THE TWO IN FAVOR ARE ONLY IN FAVOR OF THERE'S A RESTRICTION PROHIBITING THE AXIS FROM THE MEDIUM DENSITY AREA TO THE RS SIX AREA.

DETAILED COMMENTS ARE IN YOUR PACKET OF MANY OF THE ONES THAT WERE HERE BEFORE THE DEADLINE. STAFF DID FIND THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT.

WAS REVIEWED IN 1414 OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION APPROVED THE LESS RESTRICTIVE ZONING THAT YOU HEARD AT THE LAST MEETING AND STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE NEW PLAN DEVELOPMENT BEFORE YOU TODAY AND I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY

HAVE. >>ANTHONY WILLIAMS : DOES

COUNSEL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? >> THIS DOES NOT ALLOW ACCESS FOR MY 22 GARFIELD.> IT DOES NOT ALLOW ACCESS FROM THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, THE MEDIUM DENSITY TO RS SIX.

THERE IS CURRENTLY A PLATTED ROADWAY CAMPUS COURT HOWEVER, THE APPLICANT WHICH THEY CAN SPEAK MORE TO THIS DO HAVE PLANS TO PLOT A PORTION OF CAMPUS COURT UNDER THE OUR 06 PART OF THE DISTRICT. THEIR CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD WITH THE DEVELOPER ABOUT HAVING CAMPUS COURT HAVE ACCESS INTO

THE MEDIUM DENSITY. >> AND THEY WILL DEFINITELY HAVE MADE IT CLEAR THEY WILL NOT ALLOW THAT ACCESS?

>> THAT IS WHAT I UNDERSTAND. >> COUNCILMEMBER, THERE'S ALSO ÃAND IT IS IN THE PACKET. THE PORTION OF THAT RIGHT AWAY FIND IT IN THE MIDDLE THE RIGHT AWAY IS ALREADY.

THERE'S NO STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY THROUGH THEIR.

>>ANTHONY WILLIAMS : DOES COUNSEL HAVE ANY MORE

QUESTIONS?THANK YOU. >> IN SUMMARY REAL QUICK, I KNOW BOTH SIDES WORKED REALLY HARD TO NEGOTIATE THIS TRIBUTE BUT IN YOUR OPINION, AS GOOD AS POSSIBLE IT SOUNDS LIKE THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE CONCERNS DEALT WITH, NO ONE WANTS A THOROUGH FARE FROM STANFORD ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAS BEEN ADDRESSED.

>> WE BELIEVE THAT HAS BEEN ADDRESSED.

>>ANTHONY WILLIAMS : ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU CHERYL. AND GOING TO OPEN IT UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD DURING THIS TIME.

YOU CAN EITHER SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM.

WE HAVE CARDS ON FILE. >> I HAVE TWO CARDS.

[01:35:01]

DAVID? >> AFTER THE TWO CARDS ARE READ WE WILL OPEN IT UP TO ANYBODY ELSE.

>> PREVIOUSLY WHEN I SAID THAT I VISITED RADIO GUY THAT LIVES ON CAMPUS COURT AND I GOT UP THERE AND WENT NORTH THINKING I CAN CUT BACK. YOU CAN'T DO IT DIRIDON PREVIOUSLY WHEN IBROUGHT UP THIS , I DON'T SEE ANYBODY THAT WOULD NOT WANT TWO FOR FIRE PROTECTION.

I CHECKED 2C WEEKS IN A ROW. THERE IS A CUT OUT IN WEST STANFORD FOR THAT. SOME PEOPLE SAY I DON'T WANT CARS COMING TO THE INTERSTATE. IS A HUGE WIDE SITUATION.

BUT THE SECTION THAT IS CUT OFF TO GO INTO THAT, WHICH WOULD BE CAMPUS COURT, IS SIMILAR IT IF YOU WANT FROM BUFFALO GAP ROAD TO SOUTHWEST DRIVE, THERE ARE SOME INLETS THERE AND IT'S A STANDARD WITH. IT'S NOT A HUGE WIDE STREETLIGHT. SO THEY ARE SAYING WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE COMING THROUGH. WHEN YOUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE AND ENGINE FOR HAVE TO COME ALL THE WAY DOWN TO AMBLER AND THEN BACK UP. HE WILL THINK AGAIN I WISH WE HAD THAT INLET. AND I DIDN'T LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD BROKEN BUT MY EXPERIENCE GOING THROUGH IT, IT WAS NOT FUN ÃTO TURN AROUND AND GO BACK TO CAMPUS COURT.

SOME PEOPLE SAY WE DON'T WANT TRAFFIC. THINK WITH THE STANDARD INLET, THE STATE HAS ALREADY PUT IT THERE ON EAST STANDFORD. AND I THINK THEY DECIDED IT'S A GOOD IDEA. BUT YOU SAY THEY DON'T WANT IT.

WELL, IF YOU EVER HAVE AN ISSUE WITH EMERGENCY AND NEED PEOPLE THERE, YOU WILL THINK AGAIN YOU WISH YOU HAD THAT.

IN RESIDENCE, I DON'T SEE WHY YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO BE ABLE TO GO TO STANFORD WHEN HE CAN DO THE LOOP AROUND AND GO INTO THE SHOPPING CENTER, WALMART AND TACO PLACE IN OTHER RESTAURANTS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH THIS

MORNING. >> DARRELL SLOAN?

>> I'M DARRELL SLOAN AND LIVE AT 2618 MADISON STREET.

THAT WAS MUSIC TO MY EARS TO HEAR INTERSTATE TRAFFIC WILL NOT BE CONNECTED THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

WE HAVE ENOUGH AUTOMOBILES ON THE STREET RIGHT NOW THAT IF YOU LEAVE MY HOUSE AND GO TO AMBLER, I HAVE TO BACK UP AND STOP AND FIND A PLACE WHERE I CAN GET OVER FOR A CAR.

TWO CAN'T PASS AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF AUTOMOBILES ON THE STREET. ANOTHER PROBLEM I WANT TO ADDRESS IS WATER PRESSURE. WE HAVE A LOT MORE PEOPLE LIVING IN THERE RIGHT NOW. AND WATER PRESSURE IS A PROBLEM. USED TO RUN SIX WATER SPRINKLERS AT A TIME TWO YEARS AGO.

SOMETIMES I CAN RUN FOR, SOMETIMES I CAN'T RUN TO.

BECAUSE THE WATER PRESSURE IN THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THEIR. THIS IS A PROBLEM I HAVE PUTTING A LOT MORE PEOPLE IN THIS AREA.

THANK YOU. >> IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.

>> GOOD MORNING COUNSEL. AGENT FOR THE DEVLOPER.

YOU GUYS PROBABLY REMEMBER THIS AS A CONSENT ITEMS LAST MEETING. THINK YOU HEARD FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD THEY DID NOT WANT THE CONNECTION FROM MY 20.

I THINK YOU HEARD FROM ME THAT IT WAS NOT OUR CLIENTS INTEND TO HAVE ANY CONNECTION FROM MY 20.

I KNOW THE ZONING FOR THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN SOMEWHAT OF A MESS FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND I THINK EVERYBODY WOULD BE EXCITED TO GET THIS PUT BEHIND THEM.

I THINK WHAT WE GOT TODAY IS A REALLY GOOD PLAN.

I THINK IT IS ONE THAT ACCOMPLISHES WHAT THE DEVELOPER WOULD LIKE TO DO WITH THE PROPERTY, WHICH IS SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES THAT A BUT GARFIELD.

[01:40:02]

WHICH MEANS THERE IS NO AXIS ALLOWED FOR MY 20 INTO THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD. I KNOW THAT IS THE NEIGHBORS REQUEST AND OUR CLIENTS DESIRE. WE BELIEVE IT IS APPROPRIATE ZONING.E BELIEVE IT IS A GREAT COMPROMISE.

WITH REGARD TO ACCESS INTO THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, THERE ARE SIX OR SEVEN DIFFERENT CONNECTIONS BACK OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND SO ACCESS IS REALLY NOT A CONCERN IN MY MIND.WE ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS I

CAN. >> DOES COUNSEL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.> I APPRECIATE YOUR WILLINGNESS TO WORK WITH THIS RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY OVER THERE AND TO SATISFY THEIR NEEDS. APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH! ONE MORE THING I MIGHT MENTION. THERE IS AN EXISTING RIGHT-OF-WAY. I THINK STANLEY SAID THERE IS A PORTION THAT HAS BEEN ABANDONED.

FOR MY 20 THERE IS A PIECE OF BREAD WAY THAT EXISTS AND ACROSS OUR MD PORTION IT HAS BEEN ABANDONED.

THERE'S A SLIVER FROM GARFIELD, AN EXTENSION OF CAMPUS COURT, THAT IS NOT BEEN ABANDONED YET. WE ARE LIKELY TO COME BACK TO YOU TO REQUEST THAT TO BE ABANDONED THERE THAT'S OUR INTENT BECAUSE WE WANT TO INCORPORATE THAT RIGHT-OF-WAY INTO ONE OF THE RESIDENTIAL LOTS.

SO THAT IS THE LAST THING I WANT TO MENTION.

THANK YOU GUYS. >> DOES ANYONE ELSE WANT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? PLEASE STEPFORWARD .

PREVIOUSLY I KNOW YOU MOVE SOME FUNDS AROUND WE HAD THE ADOPTED RATE BECAUSE OF THE COVID AND YOU DID AWAY WITH THE TRANSPORTATION BECAUSE YOU SAID WELL, THE CITY CAN DUPLICATE THAT. AND THERE'S A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS. AND HE MENTIONED ABOUT CHARGING FOR MEALS AND EVENTUALLY IT WAS TWO DOLLARS AGREED ALL-IMPORTANT WHY NOT LEAVE THE 60,000 IN THEIR AND USE IT FOR SOMETHING GOOD FOR THE SENIOR CENTERSINSTEAD OF CUTTING IT OUT . WE STILL USE THOSE VANS TO TRANSPORT FOOD TO EAST CENTER FIVE DAYS A WEEK AND THEY STILL HAVE A DRIVER BUT OBVIOUSLY IT'S NOT COMPLETELY LOST.

YOU'RE STILL USING THE VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT THE FOOD TO AND FROMTHE CENTERS EACH DAY . YOU BRING IT IN AND AT THE END OF THE SESSION WHEN LUNCH IS OVER YOU PICK UP THE LEFTOVERS AND TRANSPORT THEM BACK TO ROSE PARK.

I WOULD TELL YOU PLEASE CONSIDER TRYING TO KEEP THAT IN THE BUDGET AND DON'T JUST SAY WE ALREADY VOTED ON AT ONCE.

ALL GOOD? >> YES, SIR.

>>ANTHONY WILLIAMS : WE MOVED ITEM NUMBER 29.

I WILL ASK MIKE TO PRESENT THIS ITEM.

>> DIRECTOR OF FINANCE AGAIN. THIS ITEM IS APPROVING THE PROPOSED TAX RATE FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2021/2022 APPROVED ON FIRST READING ON JULY 27 AT THE BUDGET WORKSHOP.

TOTAL TAX RATE WAS .78 PER $100 WITH THE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS RATE OF .6019 AN INTEREST IN SEEKING RATE OF.182. THIS WILL BE THE FINAL VOTE AND IT WILL REQUIRE SPECIFIC LANGUAGE AND WE WILL NEED 60 PERCENT OF THE COUNCIL TO VOTE YES TO APPROVE IT.

[02:00:04]

THIS SCHEDULE OUTLINES A COMPARISON.

HE WILL SEE THE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS RATE IS.6019.

INTEREST IN SEEKING .182 COMPARED TO LAST YEARS PROPERTY TAX RATE. ARE INTEREST IN SINKING RATE IS LOWER BY.0026. THE NO NEW TAX RATE WAS .874 THIS YEAR. VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE.8045.

AND BECAUSE WE DIDN'T USE THE FULL VOTER APPROVAL RATE LAST YEAR, WE WERE ABLE TO ROLL THA INTO THIS YEAR.

AND SO WE COULD HAVE GONE TO A .8378 TAX RATE THIS YEAR.

I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS .

>>ANTHONY WILLIAMS : QUESTION PRIOR TO THE PUBLIC HEARING? THIS DOES CALL FOR A PUBLIC HEARING BUT AT THIS TIME I WILL OPEN AT THE PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? IF SO, PLEASE GIVE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.

>> THANK YOU. PREVIOUSLY THREE OF THE FOUR Ã 34 SPLIT ON IT THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THE TAX RATE.

THE OLD RATE THAT THEY WANT TO LOWER IS 26 10,000 PER THAT'S A DECIMAL .0026 IS HUNDRED AND $69,000.

YOU KNOW THAT IS NOT VERY MUCH FOR AN ENTITY LIKE THE CITY.

AND EVEN SOME OF THE COUNCILMEMBER SAID WE COULD USE THAT TO FIX THE INTERSECTION. AND I STILL WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF YOU WOULD DO A REVOTE. IT WAS A 4/3 SPLIT THAT FIGURE ABILENE POPULATION AMUSING WRONG NUMBERS AT $169,000 SAVINGSA LITTLE OVER $0.10 A MONTH FORGET WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH YOUR $0.10 TO SAY THEY ARE GOING TO LOWER THEIR TAX RATE.

FROM 7877. LIKE I SAID, I SUGGEST WE THINK LONG AND HARD BEFORE THIS NEXT VOTE AND YOU SET FOR AN INTERSECTION. WE ARE NEVER GOING TO GET CAUGHT UP ON THE STREETS. IF YOU DON'T, 169,000 THAT CAN FIX A SMALL INTERSECTION. AGAIN, YOU MAY SEE THIS MONTHS FROM NOW. BUT AGAIN, OPINION TO THE MAYOR'S OFFICE AT 676-6205. AND TELL THEM NOT MINUSCULE SAVINGS, WHICH IS OVER A DOLLAR 35 FOR A PERSON IN THE CITY, IS NOT GOING TO BE THAT BIG OF A DEAL.THAT WE SHOULD KEEP THE RATE THE SAME. IF YOU LOOK AT THE CHART PUBLISHED IN THE PACKET, YOU CAN SEE WHERE THEY WENT DOWN AND THEY GO BACK UP. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, COUNSEL.

>> ANYONE TO SPEAK AGAINST OR FOR THIS ITEM? SEEING NO ONE I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.SO BECAUSE OF EVALUATIONS, THERE IS A TAX INCREASE BUT THE TAX RATE IS DECREASING IN A PERFECT SCENARIO WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ADDITIONAL PRIVATE SECTOR IN YEARS TO COME OR MORE PARTICIPATING IN TAXES AND ABILENE SO THE RATE CAN DECREASE. ANY COMMENTS FROM THE COUNCIL? COUNCILOR SMITH? ABU THE PROPERTY RATE TAX BE INCREASED FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE TAX RATE OF .785 PER 100.

WHICH IS EFFECTIVELY A 3.5 PERCENT INCREASE IN THE TAX RATE. CORRECT WORDING? I AM PROUD OF MYSELF. IS THERE A SECOND.

A SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER PRICE.

ANY DISCUSSION? WE ARE READY TO VOTE.
