 ]
WE'VE GOT A FULL DAY TODAY, SO LET'S GET RIGHT TO IT. 
          UH, THREE DEPARTMENTS, UH, WE'LL TAKE, UH, ALL THE PRESENTATIONS AND THEN WE'LL GET INTO A ROUND OF DISCUSSION. 
          SO LEMME TURN IT OVER TO CITY MANAGER ERIC WALSH TO GET US STARTED. 
          THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          UM, THREE PRESENTATIONS TODAY. 
          WE'LL START OFF WITH, UH, TROY AND OUR, UH, DEBT MANAGEMENT PLAN. 
          UM, WE'LL ROLL INTO, UM, OUR PUBLIC WORKS BUDGET. 
          UM, ROD WILL, UM, INSERT, UH, FOR PART OF THE PRESENTATION ON OUR CAPITAL BUDGET AND THEN WE'LL WRAP UP WITH JESUS, UH, AND THE AIRPORT BUDGET AND THE CAPITAL SIDE OF THAT OPERATION. 
          SO WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO TROY. 
          KICK US OFF. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. 
          UH, MY NAME'S TROY ELLIOTT. 
          I'M THE DEPUTY CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER AND I HAVE THE DISTINCT HONOR GOING FIRST AND, AND KICKING OFF OUR BUDGET WORK SESSIONS, , AND BE TALKING ABOUT THE DEBT MANAGEMENT PLAN. 
          UM, PRIOR TO JUMPING INTO THE DEBT MANAGEMENT PLAN PRESENTATION, I'D JUST LIKE TO SPEND A, A BRIEF MOMENT AND TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE PURPOSE OF THE DEBT MANAGEMENT PLAN. 
          UM, DEBT MANAGEMENT PLAN IS NOTHING MORE THAN A TOOL OR A MODEL THAT WE USE BASICALLY TO MANAGE OUR DEBT OBLIGATIONS AND TO ENSURE THAT OUR DEBT REMAINS MANAGEABLE AND SUSTAINABLE OVER TIME. 
          IT ALLOWS US TO DETERMINE OUR CAPACITY TO SERVICE OUR CURRENT AND FUTURE OBLIGATIONS AND DETERMINE HOW MUCH WE CAN RES, UM, RESPONSIBLY AFFORD, UM, TO INCUR. 
          IT ALSO MANAGES POTENTIAL RISKS. 
          WE CAN LOOK AT ECONOMIC DOWNTURNS, HOW THE CURRENT INTEREST, UM, ENVIRONMENT IS GONNA IMPACT US, AND ALSO IF WE WERE TO SEE FLUCTUATIONS IN OUR PROPERTY TAXES, HOW WE CAN MANAGE THAT THROUGH OUR DEBT MANAGEMENT PLAN. 
          WE DO MANAGE THREE SEPARATE PLANS TODAY I'LL BE FOCUSING PREDOMINANTLY ON OUR PROPERTY TAX, UM, BACKED DEBT OR OUR AVALOR AND BACKED DEBT. 
          UM, WE ALSO HAVE, UH, DEBT PLANS FOR OUR HOT AND ALSO FOR OUR AIRPORT. 
          AND I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE AIRPORT LATER ON IN THE PRESENTATION. 
          OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL SLIDES. 
          UM, WE'RE GONNA BE PROVIDING AN OVERVIEW OF KIND OF THE FUNDAMENTAL, UH, BUILDING BLOCKS FOR OUR DEBT MANAGEMENT PLAN. 
          UM, WHAT TYPE OF DEBT DO WE ISSUE? UM, OUR, UH, CREDIT RATINGS, UM, KIND OF OUR OUTSTANDING DEBT AND A HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW OF THE DEBT PLAN. 
          AS PART OF THE DEBT PLAN, THERE ARE THREE PRIMARY OR PREDOMINANTLY FOUR TYPES OF DEBT. 
          I MEAN THAT WE, UM, THAT WE ISSUE. 
          THERE ARE THREE, UH, THAT ARE BACKED BY PROPERTY TAXES. 
          OUR GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS, YOU CAN HEAR ME REFER TO THOSE AS GEOS. 
          OUR CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION ARE C ARE COS AND TAX NOTES. 
          ALL THREE OF THESE ARE GONNA BE BACKED BY PROPERTY, UH, PROPERTY TAXES. 
          THE GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND IS GONNA BE VOTER APPROVED. 
          THESE ARE ASSOCIATED WITH OUR BOND PROGRAMS THAT ARE ISSUED, ARE VOTED ON EVERY FIVE YEARS. 
          MOST RECENTLY THE 2022 BOND PROGRAM FOR THE $1.2 BILLION. 
          THESE GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS ARE USED TO PROVIDE SOURCE OF REVENUE FOR OUR STREETS, DRAINAGE, PARKS, LIBRARIES, PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITIES, AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING. 
          NEXT WITH OUR CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION, CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION ARE USED DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS TO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR OUR C I P OR OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. 
          UM, THEY ARE NOT VOTER APPROVED. 
          THEY DO HAVE A STATUTORY 45 DAY, DAY NOTICE REQUIREMENT. 
          IF YOU RECALL, IN JULY, WE BROUGHT A NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION. 
          AFTER THAT 45 DAY NOTICE PERIOD EXPIRED, THEN COUNCIL GAVE US THE APPROVAL TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE ISSUANCE, UM, ON AUGUST 3RD AND WILL ACTUALLY BE IN THE MARKET COME NEXT WEEK TO, UM, TO PRICE OUR BONDS. 
          AND I'LL TALK A LITTLE ABOUT THAT. 
          AND, AND TOWARDS THE END OF THE SLIDES, CERTIFICATES OBLIGATIONS ARE TYPICALLY GONNA BE USED FOR OUR STREET MAINTENANCE, UM, FACILITIES AND IT PROJECTS. 
          THE NEXT ONE, TAX NOTES. 
          IT'S ALSO BACKED BY PROPERTY TAXES. 
          IT IS NOT VOTER APPROVED AS WELL. 
          IT DOES HAVE A SHORTER MATURITY. 
          TYPICALLY IT'S GOING TO BE A SEVEN YEAR MATURITY AND WE TEND TO USE TAX NOTES ON LI UM, ALIGN THOSE WITH DEFERRED MAINTENANCE SUCH AS EIGHT VAC AND FACILITIES THAT TYPICALLY HAVE A SHORTER USEFUL LIFE. 
          THE LAST AREA IS NOT BACKED BY PROPERTY TAXES, BUT IT IS A REVENUE. 
          REVENUE BONDS. 
          IS IT GONNA BE BACKED BY A SPECIFIC REVENUE SOURCE? IT'S NOT VOTER APPROVED. 
          THESE ARE TYPICALLY GONNA BE BACKED BY GENERAL AVIATION REVENUES. 
          WE'LL ISSUE, UH, 
          [00:05:01]
GENERAL AVIATION REVENUE BONDS OR THINGS LIKE PASSENGER FACILITY CHARGES OR, UM, CUSTOMER FACILITY CHARGES. 
          ALSO A LITTLE BIT LESS USE. 
          IN ADDITION TO THESE FOUR, WE DO HAVE PRIVATE PLACEMENTS AND WE ALSO ISSUE PRO, UH, PUBLIC PROPERTY FINANCE CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS. 
          THE NEXT TWO SLIDES GONNA SPEND A LITTLE TIME ON OUR BOND RATINGS. 
          THIS IS A HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW OF THE RATING SCALES THAT THE RATING AGENCIES USE TO GRADE US. 
          IN ESSENCE, IT'S A REPORT CARD AS FAR AS HOW WE OR OTHER UNI MUNICIPALITIES ARE PERFORMING. 
          THESE RATINGS ARE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE POTENTIAL INVESTORS WITH AN INDICATION OF THE RISK AND HELP INVESTORS MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS PRIOR TO PURCHASING OUR BONDS. 
          UM, THERE ARE THREE MAJOR CREDIT RATING AGENCIES. 
          WE HAVE FITCH RATINGS, UH, MOODY'S INVESTOR SERVICES AND STANDARDS AND POS. 
          UM, EACH RATING AGENCY HAS OUR OWN PROPRIETY METHODOLOGY THAT THEY USE TO ACTUALLY GRADE MUNICIPALITIES LIKE THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          TYPICALLY, THEY'RE GONNA FOCUS ON, UM, AREAS SUCH AS CREDIT HISTORY, FINANCIAL STRENGTH, ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT. 
          THE HIGHEST RATINGS YOU CAN ACHIEVE ARE THE AAA THAT ARE, UM, CONSIDERED PRIME. 
          UH, PRIME ARE THE HIGHEST RATED BONDS AND THEY'RE CONSIDERED TO HAVE A LOW DEFAULT RISK. 
          THE LOWER DEFAULT RISK, THE LOWER THE COST OF THE BONDS TO THE CITY. 
          UM, IN TERMS OF OUR DEBT SERVICE AND OUR INTEREST. 
          AS YOU MOVE DOWN THE RATING SCALE FROM PRIME TO HIGH GRADE TO UPPER MEDIUM GRADE TO LOWER MEDIUM GRADE, YOUR LEVEL OF RISK IS GOING TO INCREASE WITH THAT HIGHER LEVEL OF RISK, UM, AN INVESTOR IS GOING TO EXPECT A HIGHER RETURN ON THOSE BONDS AND IN, AND ALSO A HIGHER INTEREST RATE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT. 
          THESE ARE OUR CURRENT BOND RATINGS FOR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          WE TEND TO OPERATE IN THE PRIME OR THE HIGH GRADE RATINGS. 
          UM, WE DO HAVE A STRONG CREDIT PROFILE FROM ALL RECOGNIZED BY ALL THREE RATING AGENCIES HERE RECENTLY. 
          WE TEND TO MEET WITH THE RATING AGENCIES AT A MINIMUM ONCE A YEAR IN PREPARATION FOR OUR SUMMER ISSUANCE THAT WE'LL BE DOING NEXT WEEK. 
          THE ERIC AS A CITY MANAGER, MARIA AS A DEPUTY CITY MANAGER, BEN GARZA, OUR CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, JUSTINA AS THE BUDGET DIRECTOR, MYSELF, OUR FINANCIAL ADVISORS AND THE FINANCE TEAM MEET WITH THE RATING AGENCIES AND GO THROUGH THE CURRENT PROJECTS THAT ARE ONGOING IN THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO, WHAT THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THOSE PROJECTS ARE, AND THEN ALSO OUR FINANCIAL HEALTH. 
          IN ADDITION TO THAT, UH, PRESENTATION, THEY DIG VERY DEEP INTO OUR ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT, OUR MONTHLY FINANCIALS, UM, OUR FORECAST, AND ALSO WATCH THE MEDIA WITH THAT. 
          WITH THAT MEETING, I'M, UM, VERY PLEASED TO SAY THAT THE ALL THREE OF THE CREDIT RATING AGENCIES ARE AFFIRMED. 
          OUR CURRENT RATINGS. 
          FITCH AFFIRMED OUR CURRENT RATING OF AA PLUS THAT OPERATES SLIGHTLY. 
          UM, ONE NOT DOWN BELOW THE AAA MOODY'S REAFFIRMED THE AAA AND THEN STANDARDS AND PORTS ALSO REAFFIRMED THE AAA. 
          ONE THING INTERESTING ABOUT FITCH AFTER WE MET WITH THEM THERE IS UM, WHAT THEY CALL AN OUTLOOK ON OUR RATINGS. 
          FITCH HAD US AT A STABLE OUTLOOK AFTER WE MET WITH THEM, AFTER THEY'D DONE THEIR FINANCIAL ANALYSIS. 
          BASED ON THE TREND OR THE PATH THAT THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO HAS HEADED ON FROM A FAN FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT STANDPOINT, THEY REVISED OUR STABLE ACT OUTLOOK DEPOSITED. 
          WHAT'S THAT MEANS? THAT THAT'S AN INDICATION THAT THEY'RE WE'RE MOVING IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION AND OVER THE SIX, NEXT SIX MONTHS TO TWO YEARS, IF WE CONTINUE DOWN THAT TRAJECTORY, THERE'S A LIKELIHOOD THAT THEY COULD INCREASE OUR RATING FROM THE AA POST TO TO THE AAA CATEGORY. 
          SO WE WOULD BE PRIME AND AAA ACROSS ALL, UM, ALL THREE CREDIT RATING AGENCIES. 
          WHEN YOU LOOK AT THESE, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THESE RATINGS AND YOU LOOK ACROSS THE NATION, WE ARE ONE OF THE HIGHEST, HIGHEST, HIGHEST HIGHLY RATED, UM, CITIES IN THE NATION IN TERMS OF POPULATION. 
          UM, LOOKING AT MOODY'S FOR EXAMPLE, SAN ANTONIO IS THE ONLY TOP 10 US CITY BY POPULATION WITH AAA RATING. 
          IF YOU LOOK AT THE STATE OF TEXAS, WE ARE THE ONE OF TWO TOP 10 CITIES NEXT TO PLANO IN TERMS OF POPULATION. 
          AND PLANO HAS A POPULATION OF 300,000, NOWHERE NEAR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          THESE RATINGS THAT YOU SEE UP HERE, THEY ENABLE US, ENABLE US AS A CITY TO BORROW AT THE LOWEST INTEREST RATES POSSIBLE. 
          AND BASED ON THOSE LOW INTEREST RATES, WE CAN TAKE THAT MONEY AND ACTUALLY IMPLEMENT IT OR PUT IT INTO OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS. 
          NOT ONLY IS THE EFFECT OF THE AAA ON OUR PROPERTY TAX SUPPORTED DEBT, BUT IT ALSO PERMEATES OUR BLEEDS INTO OUR OTHER RATINGS. 
          SO WHEN INVESTOR IS INVESTING IN AIRPORT BONDS, FOR EXAMPLE, THEY LOOK AT THE HEALTH OF THE CITY IN OUR AAA RATING AND IT MAKES IT MORE LUCRATIVE EVEN ACROSS ALL OF OUR RATINGS. 
          I WON'T GO THROUGH ALL OF THEM, BUT YOU CAN KIND OF SEE BASED ON THE RATINGS 
          [00:10:01]
FROM OUR CONVENTION CENTER AIRPORT AND THROUGH OUR MUNICIPAL FACILITIES, UM, HOW WE ARE RATED. 
          THIS IS OUR CURRENT OUTSTANDING DEBT AS OF JULY. 
          THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE, UM, THE ISSUANCES OR THE DEBT ISSUANCE THAT CITY COUNCIL RECENTLY INCLUDED ON AUGUST 3RD. 
          UM, IN TERMS OF OUR PROPERTY TAX SUPPORTED DEBT, WHICH IS GONNA BE THE TOP LINE HERE, OUR GEO, OUR COS, AND OUR TAX NOTES, WE HAVE 2.2 BILLION OUTSTANDING. 
          OF THAT A 316 MILLION ARE GONNA BE SELF-SUPPORTING AND WHEN I TALK ABOUT SELF-SUPPORTING, THAT MEANS THAT WE ARE USING THE, THE FAITH AND CREDIT OF THE CITY AND OUR AAA RATING TO LEVERAGE LOW INTEREST RATES, BUT IT'S GONNA BE PAID FROM, UM, A DIFFERENT SOURCE SUCH AS OUR TURS. 
          IF THE TURS WAS TO GO OUT AND ISSUE DEBT, THEY'D BE ISSUING AT A MUCH HIGHER RATE, MORE EXPENSIVE DEBT. 
          THIS ALLOWS US TO ISSUE THAT DEBT ON BEHALF OF A TURS, FOR EXAMPLE. 
          THEY PAY FOR IT, BUT THEY'RE GONNA PAY FOR IT AT A LOWER INTEREST. 
          COST EFFECTIVE INTEREST RATE ON OUR GOS AND COS IS TWO POINT 17. 
          UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T THINK THOSE DAYS ARE GONNA, THAT WE WILL SEE THAT NEXT WEEK. 
          UM, BASED ON WHERE THE MARKET IS, I THINK WE'RE GONNA START MOVING AWAY FROM THESE LOW INTEREST RATES ENVIRONMENTS TO A HIGHER INTEREST RATE, PROBABLY IN THE LOW 4% CATEGORY OR LOW PERFORM 4% AREA. 
          THE AVERAGE LIFE IS EIGHT YEARS AND THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT INDICATOR BECAUSE EIGHT YEARS PROVIDES US FLEXIBILITY IN OUR DEBT MANAGEMENT PLAN. 
          IT ALLOWS US THE ABILITY, IF ECONOMIC CONDITIONS WERE TO CHANGE, FOR EXAMPLE, PROPERTY VALUES ARE TO DROP, THEN WE CAN EXTEND THE AVERAGE LIFE OF OUR DEBT AND CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN SOME OF THE SAME, UM, LEVEL OF BOND PROGRAMS THAT WE HAD IN THE PAST. 
          CONVERSELY, ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IMPROVE, WE CAN SHRINK THAT AND SO IT'S A MAJOR LEVER IN THE MANAGEMENT OF OUR DEBT MANAGEMENT PLAN. 
          UH, GOING DOWN WE HAVE A TOTAL OUTSTANDING OF $3.3 BILLION AND I WON'T GO THROUGH ALL OF THEM, BUT YOU CAN SEE IT'S RELATED TO HOT AIRPORT AND OUR MUNICIPAL, MUNICIPAL FACILITIES, CORPORATIONS, HOW MUCH DEBT WE HAVE OUTSTANDING AND THE AVERAGE LIFE AND INTEREST RATES OF EACH. 
          TAKING A LITTLE DEEPER DIVE ON THE PROPERTY TAX DEBT OUTSTANDING, OUR GA BONDS 1.5, 1.5 BILLION CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION, 582 MILLION IN TAX NOTES OF 126. 
          THEN A SMALL AMOUNT OF 6.9 MILLION IN OUR PUBLIC PROPERTY FINANCE CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS JUST BY CONSER, UH, COMPARISON OF OUR PEER CITIES. 
          LOOKING AT THE AVALOR AND DEBT PER CAPITA IN TEXAS, SAN ANTONIO IS ONE OF THE LOWEST. 
          WE, UM, ABOUT $1,386 PER PERSON VERSUS EL PASO, WHICH IS 2,400 AND FORT WORTH OF 1,044. 
          SO WE RANKED THIRD FROM THE, WE ARE THE THIRD LOWEST IN THE STATE OF TEXAS IN TERMS OF PER CAPITA, UM, DEBT PER CAPITA. 
          THERE ARE, UM, SEVERAL FUNDAMENTAL COMPONENTS THAT WE HAVE EMBEDDED INTO OUR DEBT MANAGEMENT PLAN. 
          SHORT AVERAGE LIFE, AS I JUST MENTIONED, MODERATELY CONSERVATIVE PROJECTIONS IN TERMS OF OUR PROJECTIONS FOR OUR GROWTH IN OUR PROPERTY TAX REVENUES AND INTEREST RATE ASSUMPTIONS, YOU HAVE THE MAINTENANCE OF A DEBT SERVICE RESERVE, ABOUT 30 TO 40 MILLION THAT WE MEET MAINTAIN TO, UM, COMPENSATE FOR ANY FLUCTUATIONS IN THE PLAN. 
          UM, AS WELL AS THE SYSTEM MAINTAINING OUR, UH, DEBT SERVICE TAX RATE. 
          UM, OUR PLAN ASSUMES NO CHANGE IN THE DEBT SERVICE TAX RATE, AND THEN CAPACITY ANALYSIS. 
          HOW MUCH CAN WE AFFORD? UM, WHEN WE MOVE DOWN THROUGH THE, THE LIFE OF THE DEBT PLAN AS WELL AS SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS, HOW, HOW CAN IT RETAIN CHANGES IN ECONOMIC CONDITIONS? I MENTIONED THAT ONE OF OUR, UM, FUNDAMENTALS IS THE PROPERTY TAX RATE IN SUPPORT OF THE DEBT SERVICE. 
          UM, WE HAVE A DEBT SERVICE TAX RATE OF 21 CENT, 21.15 CENTS PER A HUNDRED DOLLARS OF TAXABLE VALUATION. 
          THAT RESULTS IN ABOUT $298 MILLION IN REVENUE PER YEAR THAT IS DEDICATED TO SERVICING OUR DEBT. 
          UM, AND THAT'S ABOUT 40% OF THE TOTAL DEBT SERVICE. 
          UH, THE TOTAL TAX RATE. 
          OF COURSE, THE OTHER PORTION OF THE TAX RATE IS THE M AND O, WHICH IS DEDICATED TO OUR GENERAL FUND AT 33 CENTS THAT IS BEING PROPOSED. 
          LOOKING AT OUR DEBT MANAGEMENT PLAN GOING BACK TO 1994, YOU CAN SEE OUR PROPOSED, UM, PLAN AND OUR, UH, FIVE-YEAR BOND ISSUANCE ISSUANCES. 
          OUR AUTHORIZATIONS WERE FAIRLY SMALL. 
          UM, JUST KIND OF ORIENTING, ORIENTING YOU TO THE SLIDE. 
          THE UM, DARK, UM, SECTION OF THE STACK OR THE BAR BELOW IS GONNA BE OUR GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS, THE DARK GREEN AND CERTIFICATES OBLIGATIONS, LIGHT GREEN TAX NOTES. 
          AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE THE SELF-SUPPORTING BY COMPARISON LOOKING AT THE BOND PROGRAMS OVER THE PAST 109 MILLION 
          [00:15:01]
BY 2007 BASED ON THOSE FUNDAMENTALS BUILT INTO OUR DEBT PLAN, ABLE TO, UH, SECURE AND BOND PROGRAMS FOR 550 MILLION, 850 MILLION IN 2017 AND UP TO THE CURRENT 1.2 BILLION IN 2022. 
          THAT GRAY BAR AT THE TOP, THE 304 MILLION, THAT ACTUALLY INCLUDES AN AMOUNT, UM, IN SUPPORT OF OUR AIRPORT ABOUT 268 MILLION AND SELF-SUPPORTING TAX NOTES AND I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT ON THE NEXT SLIDE. 
          ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY BE ASKING AFTER WHAT HAPPENS AFTER 2022, BASED ON OUR FIVE-YEAR AUTHORIZATIONS, BASED ON THE DEBT PLAN, BASED ON OUR CAPACITY, WHERE DO WE EXPECT TO BE IN 2027 BASED ON THE CURRENT DEBT PLAN? BASED ON THOSE FUNDAMENTAL COMPONENTS, WE EXPECT TO BE AT A COMPARABLE PO COMPARABLE POSITION OF 2022 IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $1.2 BILLION BASED ON OUR CURRENT ASSUMPTIONS. 
          SO FOR THE 2027, WE EXPECT THE UM, BOND PROGRAM TO BE COMPARABLE TO WHAT IT IS TODAY. 
          VISIT A LITTLE BIT ON THE AIRPORT DEBT PLAN. 
          CURRENTLY WHAT WE HAVE OUTSTANDING IS 331.2 MILLION. 
          THAT'S GOING TO BE COMPRISED OF THE GENERAL AIRPORT REVENUE BONDS OF 128.5 MILLION PASSENGER FACILITY CHARGE BONDS OF 84.8 MILLION. 
          THOSE PASSENGER FACILITY CHARGE BONDS ARE SUPPORTED BY A $4 AND $54 50%, UH, TRANS, UM, UNEMPLOYEMENT PER PERSON. 
          AND THEN WE HAVE OUR CUSTOMER FACILITY CHARGE BONDS THAT ARE SUPPORTED BY $5 AND 50 CENTS A PER TRANSACTION DAY FOR OUR CAR RENTALS FACILITIES IN SUPPORT OF OUR CON RACK. 
          THEN LASTLY, THAT'S NOT PART OF THAT 331.2 MILLION AT THE VERY BOTTOM YOU SEE THESE TAX NOTES. 
          THIS IS GONNA BE INTERIM FINANCING. 
          THIS IS INTERIM FINANCING THAT WE HAVE ISSUED CURRENTLY 62 MILLION. 
          UM, NEXT WEEK WE'LL BE SELLING $270 MILLION IN THE MARKET, UM, AND INTERIM FINANCING. 
          AND THIS IS PURELY TO, UH, GET US STARTED ON THE, THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR THE AIRPORT. 
          UM, AS FAR AS THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, YOU CAN SEE IN THE UPPER RIGHT BETWEEN 24 AND 2029, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE NEW TERMINAL ENABLING PROJECTS OF $1.4 BILLION AIRFIELD SAFETY ENHANCEMENTS OF 375 MILLION AND OTHER CAPITAL PROJECTS OF 220 MILLION FOR A TOTAL OF $2 BILLION. 
          IN ORDER TO ENABLE THAT TO CONTINUE, UM, WHILE WE'RE STILL PUTTING TOGETHER A FINANCING PLAN, WE'LL BE ISSUING THIS INTERIM FINANCING TO BASICALLY FUND THE INCEPTION OF THESE PROJECTS AND WHILE WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE AIRPORT AND THE AIRLINES AND PULL ALL THE PIECES OF THE PUZZLE TOGETHER WHILE DEVELOPING A FINANCING PLAN AND THEN LATE 24, EARLY 25, WE'LL REFUND THAT INTERIM FINANCING AND PUT PERMANENT FINANCING IN PLACE. 
          AND THEN LASTLY, I MENTIONED THIS, UM, ON AUGUST 3RD, COUNCIL IMPROVED OUR SUM, UH, APPROVED OUR SUMMER ISSUANCE OF OUR GO C E O AND TAX NOTES. 
          UM, THESE 2023 OBLIGATIONS INCLUDE 183 MILLION IN GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS. 
          THIS IS OUR SECOND ISSUANCE UNDER THE 2022 BOND PROGRAM, 47 MILLION IN CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATIONS, 31 MILLION IN TAX NOTES AND THEN THE 270 MILLION IN INTERIM FINANCING THAT I SPOKE OF ON THE PRIOR SLIDE. 
          ADDITIONALLY, IN AUGUST 3RD, COUNCIL APPROVED A PRIVATE PLACEMENT, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY A LOAN FROM A BANK, UM, FOR $30 MILLION. 
          THIS FOR THE EDWARDS AQUIFER PROTECTION PROGRAM. 
          THIS WILL FUND THREE YEARS OF THAT EDWARDS AQUIFER AQUIFER PROTECTION PROGRAM. 
          WE'RE ANTICIPATING RECEIVING THE FUNDS AND CLOSING THE SALE ON AUGUST 24TH. 
          UM, THIS IS SUPPORTED BY A PLEDGE OF CITY PAYMENT FROM SAS AND THIS WILL BE FIXED OUT LONG TERM OVER 20 TO 25 YEARS OVER THE 10 YEAR PROGRAM. 
          UH, MAYOR COUNSEL, THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND I'LL TURN IT OVER TO RAZZIE TO START HIS GOOD AFTERNOON MAYOR AND COUNCIL. 
          I AM REINI DIRECTOR OF CITY ENGINEER PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.

          THIS IS LAST OF THIS SLIDE I HAVE, I'M GOING TO PASS FOR ROD TO CONTINUE ON A CAPITAL BUDGET. 
          ARE YOU CHANGING? OKAY, GOT IT. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR COUNCIL, UH, WANTED TO GIVE YOU A QUICK, UH, SYNOPSIS OF, UH, OF THE CAPITAL BUDGET, UH, FOR THIS YEAR. 
          AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S UH, 439 PROJECTS FOR A TOTAL OF 798 MILLION. 
          UH, YOU'RE GOING TO GET, UH, A LOT OF DETAIL ABOUT EACH OF THESE AS THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS COME TO PRESENT. 
          YOU JUST HEARD FROM RAZZI ON STREETS AND DRAINAGE. 
          UH, YOU'RE CAN HEAR FROM JESUS, UH, RIGHT AFTER ME ON ON THE AIRPORT AND, AND THEIR PROJECTS. 
          UH, BUT THERE'S A NUMBER OF LIBRARY PROJECTS AS WELL THAT, UH, RAM WILL BRIEF YOU ON. 
          UH, FACILITIES. 
          WE HAVE 80 MILLION FACILITIES SUCH AS THE WORLD HERITAGE, UH, CENTER, UH, WHICH IS INCLUDED IN THERE. 
          UH, IT, UH, WILL BRIEF YOU ON ON THEIR PROJECTS. 
          THESE ARE A BUNCH OF, UH, SYSTEM UPGRADES THAT, THAT WE'VE INCLUDED IN THE CAPITAL BUDGET. 
          UH, NEIGHBORHOODS HAS 36 MILLION AND OF COURSE VERONICA GARCIA WILL UPDATE YOU ON THAT WHEN SHE PRESENTS TO YOU. 
          UH, PARKS HAS 87, UH, MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF PROJECTS, WHICH WILL BE, UH, PROVIDED TO YOU AT THE TIME OF THEIR PRESENTATION. 
          AND FIRE POLICE WILL ALSO BRIEF YOU ON, ON THEIR, THEIR CAPITAL PROJECTS FIRE 4 MILLION AND AND POLICE HAS 18 MILLION AS WELL. 
          ALSO WANTED TO TALK TO YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE, UH, 2022 BOND, UH, PACKAGE. 
          JUST TO REMIND YOU, THIS IS IS 1.2, UH, BILLION. 
          THIS IS THE BIGGEST BOND PACKAGE THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED BY OUR VOTERS, UH, EVER. 
          UH, YOU SEE THERE ARE SIX, UH, PROPOSITIONS. 
          UH, THE LARGEST IS, UH, IS STREETS AT 472 MILLION WITH 62 PROJECTS. 
          AND, AND THAT COVERS EVERYTHING FROM HUGE TRANSFORMATIVE PROJECTS LIKE COLLIBRA, UH, TO OUR F STREETS. 
          UH, WE MADE A DECISION TO PUT F STREETS, UH, IN, IN THE BOND PACKAGE. 
          'CAUSE THOSE ARE, ARE, UH, PROJECTS THAT TAKE LONGER THAN A YEAR. 
          THEY OFTEN TAKE ABOUT TWO YEARS TO COMPLETE THOSE. 
          ALSO INCLUDED IN THERE, UH, IS YOUR PEDESTRIAN MOBILITY PROJECTS. 
          PARKS IS THE NEXT PROPOSITION AT 272 MILLION. 
          UH, THEY'RE THE MOST, UH, PROJECTS IN PARKS. 
          THERE'S 82 PROJECTS IN THERE. 
          THE LARGEST IS OUR, OUR GREENWAY TRAILS. 
          WE HAVE, UH, 103 MILLION IN THERE FOR, FOR OUR LINEAR, UH, GREENWAY TRAILS. 
          UH, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF REGIONAL PARKS. 
          UH, SOME OF YOU'RE GETTING A BRAND NEW REGIONAL PARKS, UH, A NUMBER OF NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS, AND THERE'S SOME FUN THINGS IN THERE LIKE SOME PICKLEBALL PROJECTS AS WELL. 
          UH, DRAINAGE, ANOTHER LARGE PROPOSITION, 170 MILLION. 
          THERE'S 23 PROJECTS. 
          THESE ARE LARGE, THESE ARE LARGE, HUGE COMPLICATED PROJECTS. 
          UH, FOR EXAMPLE, UH, PHASE FOUR OF CEILING CHANNEL, UH, IS IN THAT, UH, PROPOSITION. 
          HOUSING, UH, IS 150 MILLION IN THAT. 
          AND ONCE AGAIN, VERONICA WILL BRIEF YOU ON THAT WHEN SHE PRESENTS HER BUDGET. 
          PUBLIC SAFETY, 78 MILLION. 
          THERE ARE SIX 
          [00:35:01]
PROJECTS. 
          WE HAVE TWO FIRE STATION REPLACEMENTS, A POLICE SUBSTATION IN DISTRICT THREE, UH, AND A NUMBER OF OTHER PROJECTS IN THERE. 
          LIBRARIES AND CULTURAL FACILITIES. 
          OF COURSE, WE HAVE A NUMBER OF LIBRARIES RENOVATION. 
          THE WORLD HERITAGE CENTER IS IN THERE, UM, AND THE TOWER OF AMERICAS AND A FEW OTHERS. 
          AND WHERE ARE WE AT? YOU KNOW, AS AS EXPECTED AS I, AS I MENTIONED, THESE ARE COMPLICATED PROJECTS. 
          UH, WE JUST DON'T GO OUT AND AND CONSTRUCT THEM. 
          IT TAKES, UH, IT TAKES A LOT OF WORK DESIGN, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. 
          SO, UH, 75% OF OUR PROJECTS ARE, ARE, ARE UNDERWAY. 
          VAST MAJORITY OF THOSE ARE, ARE UNDERDESIGNED. 
          66% OF 'EM ARE ARE UNDER DESIGN. 
          UH, AT THIS POINT. 
          UH, AS EXPECTED, WE HAVE 9% OF 'EM UNDER CONSTRUCTION. 
          NOW. 
          THOSE ARE, UH, PHASE TWO OF PROJECTS THAT STARTED IN, UH, IN 2017 FOR THE MOST PART. 
          UH, ONE OF, TO BRING YOUR MIND TO THIS OR, OR YOUR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS SLIDE. 
          'CAUSE YOU KNOW, WE, WE'VE HEARD A LOT, UH, FROM THE COMMUNITY OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. 
          I HEARD A LOT FROM YOU, UH, OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND, AND, UH, THERE'S A LOT OF LESSONS LEARNED FROM SOME ONGOING PROJECTS. 
          AND SO WE'RE, WE'RE REVAMPING, UH, OUR APPROACH, UH, TO THESE LARGE CAPITAL PROJECTS. 
          I WANNA SHARE WITH YOU, UH, TWO HUGE IMPROVEMENTS I THINK WE'RE MAKING. 
          UH, ONE IS IN COMMUNICATION ENGAGEMENT. 
          YOU KNOW, WE'VE HEARD OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, UH, WE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE PROJECT BEFORE WE START. 
          WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE PROJECT'S ABOUT. 
          WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO? WHAT IS IT GONNA LOOK LIKE? AND THEY WANNA KNOW WHAT THE IMPACT, UH, WHAT IMPACT ARE WE GONNA HAVE WHILE THIS PROJECT IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. 
          AND IF THERE'S ANY CHANGES, WE WANNA KNOW ABOUT THAT AS WELL. 
          SO WE NEED TO COMMUNICATE EARLY AND WE NEED TO COMMUNICATE OFTEN. 
          SO WE PUT TOGETHER SOME TOOLS HERE TO, TO GET AT THAT. 
          THE FIRST IS A, UH, CAPITAL PROJECTS DASHBOARD THAT WE WILL BE LAUNCHING LATER THIS YEAR IN THE WINTER. 
          AND THIS WILL HAVE ALL THE CAPITAL PROJECTS ON THERE. 
          IT'LL DESCRIBE THE PROJECTS, WHAT THEY ARE, WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO, WHEN THEY'RE GONNA START, WHEN WE ANTICIPATE THEY'RE GONNA FINISH. 
          UH, IT'LL HAVE CONTACT INFORMATION. 
          SO IF WHILE THE PROJECT IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION, WHO YOU CAN CONTACT AND WE'RE GONNA UPDATE THIS DASHBOARD CONSTANTLY AS, AS WE GO AND, AND CONSTRUCT THESE PROJECT. 
          AS YOU KNOW, UH, PROJECTS ARE COMPLICATED. 
          THEY'RE LONG, ESPECIALLY IF WE'RE WE'RE WORKING IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA OR THE, OUR OLDER AREA OF TOWN. 
          UH, YOU START DIGGING. 
          YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA HIT. 
          UH, YOU CAN HIT SOMETHING AND YOU NEED TO BRING AN ARCHEOLOGIST TO LOOK AT IT. 
          UH, THERE'S COMPLICATIONS WITH UTILITIES, CONFLICTS WITH THOSE THAT YOU MAY NOT ANTICIPATE. 
          THERE'S SOIL CONDITIONS THAT, THAT MAY CHANGE AS YOU DIG DEEPER TO GET TO THOSE UTILITIES. 
          SO THINGS CHANGE. 
          SO AS THINGS CHANGE, WE'RE GONNA PUT 'EM ON THAT DASHBOARD SO THAT STAKEHOLDERS AND FOLKS THAT ARE IMPACTED BY THE CONSTRUCTION UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE ALSO GONNA IMPROVE OUR SPEAK UP ESSAY INFORMATION. 
          ONCE AGAIN, PUT MORE INFORMATION OUT THERE AND FREQUENTLY UPDATE IT. 
          AS THINGS CHANGE, WE WANNA PUT THAT OUT THERE AND MAKE SURE THAT FOLKS KNOW WHAT THE CHANGE IS AND WHAT THEY CAN EXPECT FROM THAT. 
          ALSO, WE'RE CLOSELY COORDINATING WITH OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, UH, ON HOW WE CAN, UH, DO CONSTRUCTION MITIGATION, MARKETING AND OUTREACH. 
          IT'S IMPORTANT FOR FOLKS TO KNOW THAT, THAT IF YOU KNOW THERE'S A RESTAURANT OR SOME ESTABLISHMENT THAT'S BEING IMPACTED BY THE PROJECT, IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS TO KNOW THEY'RE STILL OPEN, THEY'RE STILL OPEN FOR BUSINESS. 
          AND THIS IS HOW YOU CAN GET TO EAT AT YOUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT OR SHOP AT YOUR FAVORITE STORE. 
          SO WE WANNA HELP THEM WITH MARKETING AND, AND HOW THEY CAN DO OUTREACH TO LET THEIR CUSTOMERS KNOW THEY'RE STILL THERE. 
          AND ALSO, EVERYBODY EXCEPT FOR ME, HAS SOCIAL MEDIA. 
          UH, AND WE NEED TO CONT NO, ERIC HAS SOCIAL MEDIA. 
          YEAH, UH, HE'S WAY AHEAD OF ME. 
          BUT WE NEED TO IMPROVE OUR PRESENCE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. 
          'CAUSE EVERYBODY HAS THAT. 
          THAT'S WHERE PEOPLE GO TO GET THE INFORMATION. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA, UH, GO AN EXTRA MILE WITH OUR SOCIAL MEDIA TO PROVIDE THESE UPDATES ON THESE PROJECTS. 
          ANOTHER THING THAT'S IMPORTANT IS, IS CONTRACTOR ACCOUNTABILITY. 
          IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE HOLD OUR CONTRACTORS ACCOUNTABLE. 
          UH, SO THE FIRST THING WE DID, COUNCIL HELPED US OUT. 
          COUNCILMAN HAV IS SPONSORED A C C R, UH, CALLED THE RESPONSIBLE BIDDER ORDINANCE. 
          THIS IMPACTS LOW BID CONTRACTS. 
          SO THESE ARE THE FOLKS THAT HAVE THE LOWEST BID. 
          THEY GET THE JOB. 
          UH, NOW WITH THE RESPONSIBLE BIDDER, IF THEY'RE DOING A BAD JOB, IF WE HAVE TO FIRE 'EM, UH, THEY GO ON THIS, THIS LIST, THEY GO ON THE TIMEOUT LIST. 
          AND IF THEY COME AND BID ON ANOTHER PROJECT, WE AUTOMATICALLY, YOU KNOW, THROW THAT BID OUT. 
          'CAUSE THEY'RE NOT A RESPONSIBLE BIDDER. 
          I CAN TELL YOU WE'VE PUT THIS IN PLACE A FEW MONTHS AGO. 
          THERE ARE SEVERAL CONTRACTORS ALREADY ON THAT LIST, SO IT'S ALREADY WORKING. 
          UH, ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING THAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS WE'RE WORKING ON, UH, OUR MOUS WITH OUR UTILITY COMPANY SAWS AND C P S. 
          YOU KNOW, THESE STREET PROJECTS, IF IT WAS JUST GOING AND DOING A MILL AND OVERLAY PROJECT, THESE PROJECTS WOULD BE FAIRLY EASY 
          [00:40:01]
AND WE COULD DO 'EM QUICKLY. 
          BUT MOST OF 'EM, WE JOINT BID WITH SAWS AND C P S AND THAT'S WHERE IT GETS REALLY COMPLICATED. 
          ABOUT 50% OF THE WORK, 80% OF THE TIME IS UTILITY WORK. 
          AND THAT'S COMPLICATED. 
          UH, IT'S TOUGH. 
          SO WE, WE MAKE IT, IT'S A GREAT IDEA THAT WE JOINT BID WITH SAWS AND C P S 'CAUSE WE WANNA DO A PROJECT ONCE, AND WE DON'T WANT STAKEHOLDERS OR, OR RESIDENTS TO BE IMPACTED BY CONSTRUCTION PROJECT TWICE. 
          BUT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THESE UTILITY COMPANIES ADHERE TO TIMEFRAMES. 
          SO IF WE NEED A DECISION, WE NEED TO DO A CHANGE ORDER. 
          IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO REACT, AND THAT'S WHAT THIS M O U IS GONNA LAY OUT WHEN THEY NEED TO REACT BY. 
          WE'RE GONNA SET TIMELINESS FOR THEM. 
          SO WE KEEP OUR PROJECTS ON TIME. 
          ALSO, WE WANT TO CONTINUE WITH OUR, UH, BEST PRACTICES FOR CONTRACTING. 
          UH, WE HAVE THE RESPONSIBLE BIDDER NOW FOR LOW BID CONTRACTS. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, THINGS ARE BETTER WITH THAT, BUT WE DON'T ALWAYS WANT TO USE A LOW BID. 
          UH, WE MAY WANNA BRING A JOCK IN FOR, FOR CERTAIN PROJECTS. 
          WE MAY WANNA DO A COMPETITIVE PROCESS. 
          IF WE'RE WORKING IN HISTORIC DISTRICT OR WE SEE A PROJECTS EXTRA COMPLICATED, WE MAY WANNA HAVE A COMPETITIVE PROCESS WHERE WE CALL CONTRACTORS IN, WE LOOK AT THEIR, THEIR PROPOSAL, WE INTERVIEW 'EM, AND WE PICK THE BEST PERSON FOR THE JOB. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA EMPLOY THAT. 
          ALSO, WE'RE LOOKING TO REFINE OUR CONTRACTS. 
          SO IF A CONTRACTOR IS, IS BEHIND, YOU KNOW, TODAY WE HAVE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, WE THINK THEY NEED TO BE HIGHER. 
          SO WE'RE IMPOSING HIGHER LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR THOSE CONTRACTORS THAT ARE, THAT ARE BEHIND. 
          AND WE ALSO WANNA PROVIDE INCENTIVES. 
          IF A CONTRACTOR, UH, GETS AHEAD OF TIME, WE WILL PAY THEM EXTRA TO FINISH THE JOB EARLY. 
          AND I WANNA FINISH UP WITH JUST GIVING YOU A QUICK UPDATE ON THE 2017 BOND PROGRAM. 
          UH, WE'RE DOING WELL, 96% OF THE PROJECTS ARE EITHER COMPLETED OR UNDER CONSTRUCTION. 
          UH, 75%, 135 OF THOSE PROJECTS ARE DONE. 
          WE, WE HAVE FINISHED WITH THEM. 
          THEY'RE COMPLETE. 
          ANOTHER 37 PROJECTS ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW. 
          WE DO HAVE, UH, A COUPLE OF PROJECTS THAT ARE IN, UH, PRE-DESIGNED AND DESIGN. 
          THOSE ARE PROJECTS THAT YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT, YOU JUST RECENTLY HEARD ABOUT BRACKENRIDGE. 
          UH, THERE'S SOME OTHER PROJECTS, UH, THAT HAVE TAKEN US A LITTLE BIT OF TIME, SUCH AS THE, WE HAVE ZONA CULTURAL ROUTE. 
          THERE'S THREE PROJECTS IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA, ALAMO STREET. 
          THOSE PROJECTS WILL BE DONE, UH, BY 2025. 
          FOR THE FINAL FOUR, WE WILL WRAP UP THIS, UH, THIS BOND PACKAGE. 
          SO WITH THAT, UH, THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION ON THE CAPITAL BUDGET AND PUBLIC WORKS, AND I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER TO JESUS FOR THE AIRPORT. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. 
          MY NAME IS SUE SIGNS, DIRECTOR OF AIRPORTS HERE FOR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          TODAY WE'LL GIVE YOU A HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW OF THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE AIRPORTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024, AND DIVE DEEP INTO THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON, ESTABLISHING THE, THE COMPLETE FOUNDATION FOR BEING ABLE TO, ONE, AS THE CITY MANAGER, HAS SAID A NUMBER OF TIMES ON THE OVERALL STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM TO BE ABLE TO, TO, TO EXECUTE ON WHAT WE WANT TO ACCOMPLISH AND WHAT WE WANT TO DO FOR THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE AIRPORT AND MOVING FORWARD. 
          AND THEN I CAN'T HELP BUT REMINISCE ON THE NUMBER OF TIMES THAT WHEN WE WERE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF COVID AND A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WOULD ALWAYS ASK TO SAY, JESUS, WHEN ARE WE GONNA BE OUT OF COVID? WHEN ARE WE GONNA BE BACK TO 2019 NUMBERS? AND I CAN'T HELP, BUT, UH, I I ALMOST WANNA SHOUT IT OUT LOUD. 
          WE DID IT THIS YEAR, RIGHT? UH, AS YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT MOVED THROUGH OUR AIRPORTS THIS YEAR, AND WE'LL SHOW YOU A LITTLE BIT OF SOME OF THOSE PASSENGER ENHANCEMENTS, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, SOME TRUE NUMBERS OF THE HARD WORK OF THE ENTIRE TEAM AT THE AIRPORT SYSTEM WORKING TO GET US OUT OF COVID AND TO BEGIN TO RESTORE THE AIR SERVICE DEVELOPMENT SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO GROW AND EXPAND. 
          JUST A REALLY QUICK REMINDER ON THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ENTERPRISE FUND. 
          IT'S A, WE HAVE TENANTS, AIRLINES, CONCESSIONS, AND A NUMBER OF OTHERS. 
          IT'S A PASSENGER USER FEE. 
          AND FEDERAL GRANTS, I'M GONNA GIVE YOU A HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW ON OUR TOTAL NUMBER OF FEDERAL GRANTS THAT WE'VE RECEIVED AS WELL. 
          BUT IT'S AN ENTERPRISE FUND, AND I KNOW I'VE STATED THIS A NUMBER OF TIMES, UNLESS YOU USE THE AIRPORT, YOU DON'T PAY FOR THE AIRPORT. 
          AND WE CONTINUE TO WORK DILIGENTLY TO CONTINUE TO GROW OUR REVENUES. 
          AND YOU'LL SEE A LITTLE BIT OF THAT IN THE WAY WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO INNOVATE AND CREATE NEW OPPORTUNITIES TO KEEP OUR OPERATING AND AND MAINTENANCE COST AS FLAT AS POSSIBLE IN EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE DOING FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024, THE AIRPORT CONTINUES TO BE A $5.1 BILLION ECONOMIC IMPACT FOR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          THAT'S BASED ON A STUDY THAT WAS PERFORMED IN 2018. 
          [00:45:02]
WE FULLY PLAN HERE IN 2023, IN EARLY 2024 TO GO OUT AND GET ANOTHER ECONOMIC IMPACT, UH, STUDY TO BE PERFORMED. 
          SO WE'LL BE PLANNING THAT HERE SHORTLY IN 2024. 
          THE OPERATING BUDGET FOR 2023 WAS 137 MILLION. 
          REVISED AT 141 IN 2024. 
          WE'RE PROPOSING IT AT 135 MILLION. 
          A LOT OF THAT IS JUST INNOVATIONS THE WAY THAT WE DO OUR BUSINESS. 
          THE ABILITY TO MOVE PEOPLE INTO A CENTRALIZED LOCATION AND BE ABLE TO CREATE NEW OPPORTUNITIES. 
          THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE NEW AIRPORT. 
          SMART RESTROOMS. WE CLEAN RESTROOMS WHEN IT'S TIME TO CLEAN RE RESTROOMS. WE JUST DON'T CLEAN 'EM ALL DAY ANYMORE. 
          SO WE CONNECT A LOT OF INFORMATION AND WE'RE CONTINUING TO COLLECT DATA AS WE TALK ABOUT THE NEW ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND EVERYTHING THAT'S OUT THERE. 
          WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO MOVE OURSELVES INTO AN INNOVATION HUB IN THE WAY THAT WE'RE DOING BUSINESS SO THAT WE CAN PROVIDE A BETTER LEVEL OF SERVICE TO OUR PASSENGERS AT A REDUCED COST SO THAT AIRLINES CAN CONTINUE TO WANT TO FLY IN AND OUT OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          PASSENGER FACILITY CHARGERS AND THE CUSTOMER FACILITY CHARGERS REMAIN BASICALLY SAME AT 2% AND 5% INCREASE THE CAPITAL PROJECTS. 
          AS YOU HEARD, UH, TROY ILLUSTRATE EARLIER. 
          WITH REGARDS TO THE AMOUNT THAT WE WILL BE SPENDING THIS YEAR. 
          UM, IT IS A SHARED SERVICE TEAM EFFORT OF EVERYONE WORKING TOGETHER TO PUT THE OVERALL PLAN OF FINANCE TOGETHER. 
          AS WE BEGIN TO MOVE FORWARD, IT IS A SIX YEAR PLAN AND WE ARE GOING TO EXECUTE ON IT AND CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD SO THAT WE CAN TRANSFORM THE OVERALL AIRPORT, UH, THAT EVERYONE HAS LONGED FOR. 
          THE GRAY LINE THAT YOU SEE AT THE BOTTOM IS THE CONTINUE, UH, USAGE FOR CAPITAL ON THE ARPA AND CARESS GRANTS AT 4.7. 
          UM, WE HAVE 1.7 REMAINING IN 2024. 
          SO WE'LL USE THOSE FLAT OVERALL IN THE POSITIONS AS WE CONTINUE TO WORK DILIGENTLY ON, YOU KNOW, PROVIDING THE BEST POSSIBLE SERVICE TO ALL OF OUR PASSENGERS, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, CREATING NEW PROCESSES ON THE WAY WE'RE DOING THE OVERALL AIRPORT BUSINESS. 
          THIS IS THE ONE THAT I WANT TO GET UP AND JUST BASICALLY SCREAM AND SHOUT. 
          UM, AND THE REASON BEING IS, AS YOU LOOK AT 2019, UM, AND THE PERFORMANCE THAT WE HAD AT 10.4 2023 ESTIMATE RIGHT NOW IS AT 10.3 A HUNDRED THOUSAND PASSENGERS LESS THAN THE AIRPORT. 
          UH, A LOT OF CREDIT GOES TO THE AIR SERVICE DEVELOPMENT TEAM AND THE HARD WORK THAT THEY HAVE PUT IN TO CONTINUE TO BRING AND ATTRACT ADDITIONAL AIRLINES TO THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          AS YOU'VE HEARD A NUMBER OF TIMES AND SOME PEOPLE HAVE SAID, JESUS, CAN WE STOP TALKING ABOUT THE AIRPORT EVERY DAY? IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S SOMETHING ABOUT THIS AIRPORT, BUT IT'S A LOT OF WORK, A HARD WORK BY, BY TEAM. 
          SO $291.3 MILLION ECONOMIC IMPACT SINCE 2021. 
          UM, WE NOW HAVE 13, UH, A GOOD DIVERSE NUMBER OF AIRLINES, WHETHER THAT'S THE MIXTURE OF LEGACY AND SIGNATORY CARRIERS, LOW COST CARRIERS, AND ULTRA LOW COST CARRIERS, COUPLED WITH INTERNATIONAL CARRIERS THAT WE HAVE. 
          WE'RE REACHING A TOTAL OF 40 MARKETS IN 2019. 
          WE HAD 36. 
          SO WE HAVE INCREASED THE TOTAL NUMBER OF NONSTOP DESTINATIONS THAT WE REACHED IN 2019 BY FOUR AND FULLY PLANNED TO CONTINUE TO GROW THAT AS AS WE CONTINUE TO CHASE DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL SERVICE, WHETHER THAT'S TRANS BORDERER OR ATLANTIC. 
          BIG HIGHLIGHT FIRST TIME EVER FOR THIS AIRPORT AT, AT SAN ANTONIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. 
          1 MILLION PASSENGERS PASSED THROUGH THE AIRPORT IN THE MONTH OF JULY, NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. 
          A BIG ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR THE ENTIRE TEAM AS YOU THINK ABOUT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT WERE TRAVELING IN AND OUT IN THE COMPLEXITIES THAT IT TAKES IN ORDER FOR US TO DELIVER THE LEVEL OF SERVICE THAT WE DELIVER ON JULY 31ST, IT WAS A RECORD HISTORY AS WELL. 
          41,000 PASSENGERS MOVED THROUGH THE AIRPORT, UH, WHICH WAS OUR RECORD DAY LARGEST EVER. 
          AND THAT'S WITHOUT A LARGE CONVENTION OR SOME OTHER, UH, BIG EVENT THAT WAS TRANSPIRING. 
          THE AIR SERVICE STRATEGY CONTINUES AS IT RELATES TO THE TERMINAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. 
          UH, I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT WE ARE HERE TO CONTINUE TO GROW OUR REVENUES SO THAT WE CAN SUPPORT THE PAYMENTS THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO PAY TO PAY FOR THE OVERALL AIRPORT AND THE CONSTRUCTION THAT WE PLAN, UH, FORWARD. 
          WE HAVE A 36 MONTH STRATEGY THAT WE HAVE ESTABLISHED IN ALL OF OUR EFFORTS, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, WHETHER THAT'S DOMESTIC OR INTERNATIONAL. 
          I WILL TELL YOU, UH, JUST A QUICK COUPLE OF HIGHLIGHTS AS IT RELATES TO SOME OF THAT, UH, AIR SERVICE WE HAVE ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED BELOW FROM OUR 36 
          [00:50:01]
MONTH PLAN, WE'VE ADDED NONSTOPS TO FORT LAUDERDALE WITH SPIRIT. 
          WE'VE ADDED CAPACITY TO SAN FRANCISCO UNITED, INCREASED GAUGE TO SAN FRANCISCO, MORE DAILY FLIGHTS STILL IN PROGRESS. 
          WE'VE ADDED CAPACITY TO SEATTLE WITH AIR ALASKA NONSTOP. 
          BIG MOVE FOR US WITH SOUTHWEST AIRLINES TO BE ABLE TO ADD SERVICE RELAUNCH DAILY SERVICE SEVEN TIMES SEVEN, SEVEN TIMES A WEEK IN JULY WITH SOUTHWEST AIRLINES TO KANSAS CITY. 
          AND WE'VE ADDED, UH, ADDITIONAL SERVICE TO NEW YORK CITY THROUGH DELTA BROUGHT BACK SERVICE TO J F K IN MAY OF 2023 AND UNITED INCREASED GAUGE SIGNIFICANT SIGNIFICANTLY TO NEW. 
          ALL OF THOSE ARE THE REASONINGS WHY WE CONTINUE TO GROW AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THE OVERALL AIR SERVICE DEVELOPMENT. 
          THE INCENTIVE PROGRAM IS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT. 
          UM, WE BROUGHT TO YOU, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND YOUR APPROVAL TO CONTINUE TO ADD ADDITIONAL INCENTIVES TO ATTRACT AIRLINES TO WANNA FLY OUT OF THE SAN ANTONIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. 
          BUT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WITHOUT A TEAM. 
          AS I THINK OF THE AIR SERVICE DEVELOPMENT, UH, GROUP LED BY JOHN DIXON AND THE WORK THAT THEY'VE BEEN HELPING AND SUPPORTING, UH, I KNOW MARK FESSLER ISS IN THE ROOM ON THE AIRPORT ADVISORY COMMISSION AND SOME OTHER COMMISSIONERS ARE HERE AS WELL. 
          WHETHER IT'S US COLLABORATING WITH VISIT SAN ANTONIO OR GREATER SA AND WORKING TOGETHER AS A TEAM, ALL OF US IN UNISON, ATTRACTING ADDITIONAL SERVICE TO THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO, OUTTA SAN ANTONIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. 
          WE CONTINUE TO BE CREATIVE AND ESTABLISH NEW WAYS FOR US TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH AIRLINE TO ATTRACT TO THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          AND THE LAST PIECE THAT I'LL TALK ABOUT ON THIS SLIDE IS THE 2023 F A A REAUTHORIZATION ACT IS IN PLACE. 
          HOUSE AND SENATE HAVE FINALIZED THEIR EFFORTS. 
          THEY'LL BE COMING BACK IN THE LATTER PART OF AUGUST, EARLY SEPTEMBER, AND WE'RE CHASING SS A T TO D C A AND THAT TOO IS A TEAM EFFORT. 
          A NUMBER OF PEOPLE I THINK OF SALLY BASTO AND ALL THE WORK THAT THE GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS TEAMS HAVE BEEN DOING. 
          WE'VE BEEN CONSTANT, UH, WE'VE BEEN DELIBERATE, WE'VE BEEN PURPOSEFUL IN WORKING EVERY POSSIBLE ANGLE THAT WE CAN WORK. 
          UH, THANK YOU TO EACH OF YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT. 
          THE CONGRESSIONAL TEAMS AROUND THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO AS WELL THAT HAVE HELPED US TO BE ABLE TO REMIND EVERYONE THE IMPORTANCE OF WHY WE NEED SERVICE FROM SAN ANTONIO TO D C A TO REAGAN NATIONAL. 
          SO WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON THAT. 
          A LOT OF PRELIMINARY DISCUSSIONS WITH MEXICO AND THE WORK THAT WE WANT TO CONTINUE FROM A TRANSPORTER, UH, CONNECTIVITY INTO, UH, MEXICO. 
          SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE THOSE EFFORTS, UH, A A REALITY, UH, WE ARE WAITING ANXIOUSLY AWAITING FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE CATEGORY ONE INTO CATEGORY TWO POSITION THAT IS ESTABLISHED. 
          SO WE'VE MADE A NUMBER OF CONVERSATIONS. 
          WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF CONVERSATIONS WITH THE F A A TO HELP SUPPORT US TO CONTINUE TO GROW WHAT WE'RE DOING AS IT RELATES TO OUR CONNECTIVITY, NOT ONLY INTO MEXICO, BUT INTO SOUTH AMERICA. 
          THE REVENUES IS, UM, A DIRECT REFLECTION OF THE NUMBER OF PASSENGERS THAT WE'VE MOVED IN 2023. 
          UM, WE JUST COMPLETED OUR RECONCILIATION FOR JULY, AND AS I MENTIONED TO YOU, WE HIT A MILLION PASSENGERS. 
          BUT AS YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF OF REVENUES THAT WE HAD, AND I CAN TELL YOU THE AIRLINE REVENUE EXCEEDED 2019 NUMBERS WITH LESS PASSENGERS FOR A 3% GROWTH. 
          THE NON-AIR AIRLINE REVENUE IS A DIRECT REFLECTION OF THE ENTIRE TEAM LED BY JENNIFER MILLS SPICER, AND THE ENTIRE TEAM ON THE, UH, FOCUSING ON THE, UH, CONCESSIONS PIECE. 
          SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE REVENUES THAT WERE ADOPTED IN 20 23 72, REVISES AT 78, AND WE FULLY ANTICIPATE TO EXCEED THE PROPOSED OF 82 MILLION IN NON-LINE REVENUES AS WE CONTINUE TO OFFER A DIFFERENT, UH, PLATFORM FOR PARKING AS WE INCREASE THE NUMBER OF OFFERINGS THAT WE HAVE INSIDE THE AIRPORT AND BEGIN TO DO, UH, INCREDIBLE ADJUSTMENTS TO NOT ONLY TERMINAL A BUT TO TERMINAL B IN PREPARATIONS FOR, FOR WHAT WE WILL BE DOING INTO THE NEW TERMINAL COMPLEX. 
          SO AN 8.5% INCREASE OVERALL IN AIRLINE AND NON-LINE REVENUES. 
          UH, ALL OF THAT'S ASSOCIATED TO WHAT WE DO WITH CONCESSIONS PROGRAM AND THE PARKING PROGRAMS AND THE FEDERAL FUNDING THAT YOU SEE ON THE BOTTOM IS THE 14.9 THAT WE RECEIVED FOR CARES, ARPA AND KRISA. 
          WE AGGRESSIVELY MOVED ALL OF THAT FUNDING EARLY INSTEAD OF UTILIZING IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH 2026. 
          SO THAT REVENUE, WE HAVE, UH, 100,000 REMAINING IN 2024, AND THAT'S FOR CONCESSIONS. 
          WE WERE ABLE TO GET MORE THAN $4 MILLION OUT TO OUR CONCESSIONS IN OUR SMALL BUSINESSES WORKING IN AND OUT OF THE AIRPORT. 
           PASSENGER ENHANCEMENTS, UH, 
          [00:55:01]
CONTINUE TO MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. 
          WE HAVE A NUMBER OF SHORT-TERM IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'VE INITIATED, UM, WHETHER IT WAS ADDING ADDITIONAL SPACES IN DIFFERENT PLACES ON THE AIRPORT COMPLEX, THERE WAS DAYS IN THE FALL OF, YOU KNOW, NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER, WE WERE DOWN TO A HUNDRED SPACES. 
          UM, IN THIS SUMMER, I BELIEVE PRETTY CLOSE TO 90% OF THE ENTIRE SUMMER WE CLOSED OUR SHORT-TERM GARAGE AND OUR LONG-TERM GARAGE ON A DAILY BASIS. 
          THAT IS THE OVERALL USAGE OF THE AIRPORT AND THE GEOGRAPHICAL USERS OF THE AIRPORT. 
          THAT CONTINUES TO EXPAND AND THAT IS A REFLECTION OF THE, THE DELIVERY OF THE SERVICE AND THE PRODUCT THAT WE HAVE. 
          I HAVE TO HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF, IN THIS YEAR, THE SAN ANTONIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT OUT OF MORE THAN 250 COMMERCIAL AIRPORTS IN THE UNITED STATES, WAS RANKED NUMBER TWO IN THE NATION FOR THE DELIVERY OF THE TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION AND THE CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION ON THE SPEED OF THROUGHPUT. 
          UH, LINE 'EM ALL UP. 
          WE WERE NUMBER TWO IN THE ENTIRE NATION. 
          SO WE CONTINUE TO WORK CLOSELY. 
          WHY DOES THAT HAPPEN? THE INSTALLATION OF NEW CT MACHINES THAT WILL CONTINUE TO BRING THAT TO CLOSE TO A HUNDRED PERCENT OCCU, UH, A HUNDRED PERCENT CT MACHINES. 
          THAT'S THREE D IMAGING THAT WE'RE PUTTING IN THERE ALONG WITH THE CANINES THAT ARE TRAINED HERE AT LACKLAND THAT ARE UTILIZED AT SAN ANTONIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. 
          LONG-TERM IMPROVEMENTS. 
          WE CURRENTLY HAVE A SOLICITATION NOW FOR THE PARKING OPTIMIZATION AS WE CONTINUE TO CREATE NEW WAYS AND IDEAS TO ENHANCE THROUGH YIELD MANAGEMENT OR DIFFERENT, UH, PARKING FEATURES THAT WE WANT TO OFFER AT THE AIRPORT. 
          THE CUSTOMERS HAVE SPOKEN. 
          I WILL TELL YOU IN THE FALL, WE HAD APPROXIMATELY 80 SPACES FOR VALET THIS SUMMER. 
          WE WERE UP TO 500 OF PEOPLE WANTING TO USE THE VALET PLATFORM. 
          SO WE HAVE TO BE VERY CREATIVE AND WE HAVE TO CONDI, WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO LOOK AT ADDITIONAL AUTHORITIES TO ADJUST OUR EXISTING PRICING PLATFORM. 
          SO INSIDE THIS BUDGET, YOU WILL SEE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO E TO ADD ADDITIONAL CAPACITY INTO WHAT WE'RE DOING AT THE AIRPORT. 
          AS THE GARAGES CONTINUE TO GROW AND EXPAND, WE FINALIZED THE COMPLETION OF THREE NEW GATES WITH A NEW SECURITY LANE IN TERMINAL B THAT'S ADDED. 
          UH, WE CONTINUE TO HAVE, UH, SEVEN TO EIGHT MINUTE PROCESSING TIME IN T S A CHECKPOINTS A NUMBER OF AWARDS THAT WE RECEIVED ON THE CONCESSION CONCEPTS. 
          AND THAT'S NOT JUST HERE, UH, LOCALLY, BUT NATIONALLY. 
          UM, A BIG SHOUT OUT TO JOHNNY HERNANDEZ AND THE WORK THAT HE HAS DONE. 
          HE'S BEING RECOGNIZED NATIONALLY AS WELL AS WE HAVE INSTALLED A NUMBER OF NEW, UH, EFFORTS IN CONCESSIONS HERE AT THE SAN ANTONIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. 
          WE HAVE STARBUCKS THAT OPENED IN INTER B, UH, A, A BIG HIT UA IN BEER CODE, INTERNAL A AND OF COURSE AT STINSON, THE TRAILBLAZER CAFE THAT'S OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK FOR BREAKFAST, LUNCH, AND DINNER. 
          AND PEOPLE CONTINUE AND GO THERE AND ARE EXCITED ABOUT THE FOOD OFFERINGS THAT ARE AVAILABLE THERE AT THAT LOCATION. 
          AS WE TRANSITION OVER TO THE O AND M TO WHAT WE WILL BE DOING ON THE ESTABLISHED FOUNDATION OF THE CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, UH, WHAT WE CALL THE TERMINAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. 
          I'LL JUST HIGHLIGHT REALLY QUICKLY AT STINSON THE TRAILBLAZER CAFE OPEN. 
          WE HAVE A NUMBER OF CAPITAL PROJECTS, THE NEW TAXIWAY, UH, ECHO E THAT WE'VE OPENED. 
          WE THE INSTALLATIONS OF NEW UTILITIES AND POLE RELOCATIONS. 
          WE'RE IN THE FINALIZATION OF ESTABLISHING FROM FOUR ALTERNATIVES IN CONDENSING THAT TO ONE ALTERNATIVE FOR THE GROWTH AND EXPANSION OF STINSON MUNICIPAL AS WELL. 
          WHAT YOU SEE ON THE SLIDE ON THE RIGHT IS A LAYOUT THAT BEGINS TO IDENTIFY NEW HANGERS, NOT JUST FOR SMALL G EIGHT AIRCRAFT, BUT LARGER JETS. 
          SO WE CAN ATTRACT MORE BUSINESS TO OUR STINSON MUNICIPAL AIRPORT AS WE ARE COMPETING CONSTANTLY WITH OTHER REGIONAL AIRPORTS ACROSS THE STATE OF TEXAS. 
          THE FY 20 24 20, UH, THROUGH 2029, A SIX YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM TALKS ABOUT THE TERMINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN PLAN THAT YOU SAW EARLIER. 
          1.4 BILLION IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE T D P AIRFIELD SAFETY ENHANCEMENTS IS A LITTLE OVER 375 MILLION. 
          THE TERMINAL AND OTHER PROJECTS 135 AIRFIELD AND ADJACENT, UH, AIR, UH, AIRFIELD AND AIRFIELD ADJACENTS ARE 43 MILLION, WHETHER THAT'S TAXIWAYS OR RUNWAYS. 
          AND THEN OTHER IT SECURITY STINSON AND ROADWAY AND PARKING IS APPROXIMATELY 41 MILLION TOTALING, UH, $2 BILLION OF WORK THAT WE WANT TO ACCOMPLISH. 
          THESE ARE ESTIMATES THAT 
          [01:00:01]
WE ARE WORKING OFF OF AND WE CONTINUE TO FIND NEW WAYS TO, TO IMPROVE OUR OVERALL COST EFFECTIVENESS IN WHAT WE'RE DOING. 
          UM, WE HAVE ESTABLISHED THE ENTIRE TEAM THAT MAKES THAT HAPPEN THROUGH THE EXECUTIVE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT TEAM THAT WE HAVE ESTABLISHED WITH THE SAN ANTONIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. 
          THE FEDERAL GRANTS PROGRAM, I'M SORRY, I SKIPPED ONE TOO FAST. 
          I'M MOVING A LITTLE TOO FAST. 
          THE 2024 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM CONSISTS OF $252.8 MILLION OF WHICH THE TERMINAL DEVELOPMENT CONSTRUCTION PLAN, UH, IT'S A NUMBER OF ENABLING PROJECTS. 
          WE START TO DO THE PRELIMINARY WORK. 
          I'LL SHOW YOU IN A SUBSEQUENT SLIDE THE GANTT CHART THAT DEPICTS ALL THE WORK THAT WE HAVE DONE THUS FAR AND WHAT WE WANT TO ACCOMPLISH IN THE NEXT 12, IN THE NEXT 12 TO 18 MONTHS. 
          IT'S CRITICAL THAT WE CONTINUE TO STAY. 
          UH, IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, THERE'S APPROXIMATELY 14 TO $16 BILLION WORTH OF WORK THAT'S BEING PERFORMED AT AIRPORTS. 
          SO THERE'S AN ENORMOUS GROWTH THAT'S HAPPENING AND A LOT OF CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT THAT'S OCCURRING AT AIRPORTS. 
          WE WANT TO BE IN ALIGNMENT WITH THAT AS THIS REGION CONTINUES TO GROW. 
          UH, OTHER TERMINAL, UH, PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE, THE GROUND LOADING FACILITY FOR TERMINAL A, UH, A TOTAL THERE IS APPROXIMATELY 70 40 OF THAT IS FOR THE GROUND LOADING FACILITY. 
          AND BAGGAGE HANDLING SYSTEM IS ANOTHER 20 MILLION OF THAT. 
          AND AS WE CONTINUE TO IMPROVE, UH, ON UPPER CONTROLS AND LOWER CONTROLS AND DIFFERENT PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE INITIATED AT THE AIRPORT TO KEEP UP WITH THE INCREASED CAPACITY AND ENSURE THAT THE THROUGHPUT LINES THAT THE BAGS ARE ARRIVING WITH THE PASSENGERS AIRFIELD, UH, AND AIRFIELD ADJACENT, WHETHER IT'S TAXIWAY, HOTEL H, OR TAXIWAY, NOVEMBER. 
          UM, BOTH OF THOSE ARE, ARE, UH, ONE TAXIWAY HOTEL IS ADJACENT TO 13, RIGHT? AND TAXIWAY NOVEMBER IS ON THE 4 2 2 CORRIDOR. 
          SO A LOT OF RECONSTRUCTION THAT WE WILL BE DOING IN THOSE AREAS, ALONG WITH THE VERY, UM, FIRST AIRPORT IN THE NATION THAT WE WILL BE LAUNCHING. 
          UH, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT BEFORE, THE RIPA, THE RUNWAY INCURSION PREVENTION THROUGH SITUATIONAL AWARENESS WILL BE ONE OF THE FIRST AIRPORTS IN THE NATION TO INSTALL THAT, TO CONTINUE TO ESTABLISH OUR FOCUS ON SAFETY AND BEING SAFETY CENTRIC IN ALL THE EFFORTS THAT WE DO IN AND AROUND THE AIRFIELD. 
          THE FEDERAL GRANTS PROGRAM DEPICTS WHAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH SINCE 2020. 
          I'LL JUST SHARE WITH YOU, THIS YEAR WE RECEIVED FEDERAL FUNDING IN THE AMOUNT OF 38.8 MILLION, WHICH IS 16% OF THE 252 THAT WE JUST DISCUSSED, AND WE STILL HAVE ADDITIONAL NO FOS NOTICE OF FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE OUT IN TRYING TO INCREASE THAT NUMBER. 
          SO WE CAN HAVE ADDITIONAL CAPACITY. 
          1.6 FOR THE TURMOIL, A ROOF RECOVERY, WHICH WAS AT A HUNDRED PERCENT RECOVERED, UH, 14.6 MILLION FOR TAXIWAY HOTEL IN TAXIWAY IN NOVEMBER, ANOTHER 2.5 MILLION, UH, IN DISCRETIONARY IN A HUNDRED THOUSAND FOR PROGRAM MANAGEMENT. 
          WE HAVE SUBMITTED FOR OUR A I G PROJECTS IN JUNE FOR CLOSE TO 9.4 MILLION IN FEDERAL DOLLARS THAT WE HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED ON. 
          SO WE'RE EAGERLY WAITING ON THE DISPOSITION OF THOSE NOTICE OF FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES. 
          ADDITIONAL WORK THAT WE'VE DONE IS AIRFIELD LIGHTING CONTROL AND MONITORING RUNWAY 4, 2, 2, CENTER LINE LIGHTING, CIRCUIT REPLACEMENTS AND TERMINAL, A ELECTRICAL SYSTEM EXPANSIONS OF WHICH WE WERE ALSO AWAITING NOTIFICATION ON ADDITIONAL GRANT FUNDS FOR THE TERMINAL. 
          A GROUND LOADING FACILITY HAVE OFFERED. 
          I DO WANNA STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF US WORKING TOGETHER AS A TEAM AS WELL, WHETHER IT'S WORKING WITH VIA OR WORKING WITH OTHERS AS WE START TO, UH, ESTABLISH A COMPREHENSIVE, UH, GRANT PROPOSAL FOR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO FOR THE GROUND TRANSPORTATION CENTER, WHETHER THAT'S THROUGH THE MEGA GRANTS OR THE RAISE GRANTS, WE ARE BEGINNING TO REACH OUT TO ALL THOSE IMPACTED SO WE CAN, UH, SUBMIT A PACKAGE IN 2024 IN HOPES OF TRYING TO, UH, ACCOMPLISH ADDITIONAL, UH, LARGE FUNDING, UH, GRANTS FOR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          THE NEXT IS THE TERMINAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. 
          UM, IT'S JUST A REMINDER, WE'VE BEEN REALLY AGGRESSIVE. 
          WE'VE BEEN GETTING AFTER IT. 
          THANK YOU FOR THE EFFORTS OF BEING ABLE TO COME IN THE B SESSIONS AND MAKE A LOT OF THIS AS FLUID AND, AND AS SEAMLESS AS POSSIBLE. 
          IT, IT'S A TESTAMENT TO OUR SUCCESS OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, IN MAY OF TWO OF 20 OF, OF 2022, WE PRESENTED TO COUNCIL ON THE KICKOFF OF THE T D P. 
          UM, WE HAD THE TERMINAL OPEN, UH, END IN MARCH OF 2028 IS, WE'RE STILL IN ALIGNMENT. 
          AND I'LL SHOW YOU A GANTT CHART THAT REFLECTS, 
          [01:05:01]
WE'RE STILL ON THAT DATE, AND WE WANNA MAKE SURE WE MEET THAT DATE TO OPEN THE NEW TERMINAL COMPLEX. 
          WE HIRED ON THE EXECUTIVE PROGRAM MANAGER. 
          WE'VE HIRED ON THE P M C M. 
          WE'VE WE'RE, UH, WE'VE HIRED ON THE MASTER ARCHITECT AND WE ARE IN OTHER CONSULTANTS IN COSA HIRES. 
          THE RENDERINGS WERE PRESENTED THIS YEAR IN FEBRUARY 15TH. 
          WE HAD AN ENORMOUS INDUSTRY DAY WITH A, A NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS THAT JOINED US. 
          THE NEW, UH, SEYMOUR, THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER, ATRIS, IS OUT FOR SOLICITATION RIGHT NOW. 
          AND THANK YOU FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY FOR US TO BE ABLE TO MOVE AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE WITH THE DECISIONS THAT WE'RE MAKING IN 2024, THE CONSTRUCTION INITIATED FOR ENABLING PROJECTS. 
          QUITE SIMPLY, WE JUST WANT TO START PUTTING SHOVELS IN THE GROUND ON A LOT OF GROUNDWORK AND THINGS THAT WE WANT TO DO TO PREPARE THE AREA FOR THE NEW TERMINAL COMPLEX. 
          UH, WE WANNA AWARD THE SEYMOUR FOR THE NEW TUR, AND OF COURSE, UH, IN COMPLETE ALIGNMENT WITH OUR AIRLINES. 
          WE CONTINUE, WE, IN SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR, WE EXTENDED AN EXISTING, UH, AGREEMENT WITH THE AIRLINE USE IN, WITH THE AIRLINES, AND WE ARE WORKING DILIGENTLY TO ESTABLISH A NEW AIRLINE USE AND LEASE AGREEMENT. 
          UH, AND WE WANT TO COMPLETE THOSE NEGOTIATIONS IN 2024 WITH OUR AIRLINES. 
          THIS GANTT CHART REFLECTS, UM, THE ORIGINAL SCHEDULE. 
          WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT SCOPE, SCHEDULE, AND BUDGET AS WE'VE DEMONSTRATED OUR ABILITY TO TRY AND DO THINGS AS EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE. 
          IF YOU LOOK AT 2023 AND QUARTER THREE WHERE WE STAND TODAY, AND YOU LOOK AT QUARTER FOUR OF 2024, THOSE 18 MONTHS ARE CRITICAL TO OUR SUCCESS. 
          WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHETHER IT'S THE AIRLINE USE AND LEASE AGREEMENT, THE NEPA, THE ENVIRONMENTAL WORK THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO WITH F A A TO OBTAIN APPROVALS FOR BOTH, UH, THE TERMINAL AND AIRFIELD WORK THAT WE'RE GONNA BE DOING. 
          THE NEW TERMINAL DESIGN, WE PRESENTED THE RENDERINGS AT 10%. 
          WE WANT TO GET TO AT LEAST 30% OF THE DESIGN WORK. 
          THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK PROCUREMENT, WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT PROCESS, SHOULD HAVE THAT COMPLETED. 
          THE PRE-CONSTRUCTION IS ANTICIPATED TO START, UH, IN QUARTER FOUR. 
          IN QUARTER ONE. 
          I THINK WE'VE MOVED THAT FORWARD. 
          WE WILL BE HAVING, UH, IN OCTOBER, THE OPENING OF THE GROUND LOADING FACILITY THAT IS A BRIDGE TO ADD ADDITIONAL GATE CAPACITY TO SAN ANTONIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT BY FIVE GROUND LOADING POSITIONS. 
          AND THEN THE LAST PIECE, AS YOU'VE HEARD, TROY AND THE ENTIRE TEAM THAT'S BEEN WORKING TO ESTABLISH THE PLAN OF FINANCE FOR THE AIRPORT TO PREPARE US AS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD FOR ALL THE WORK THAT'S HAPPENING OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. 
          OUR PRIORITIES STAY THE SAME. 
          WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO GROW PASSENGER GROWTH AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL AIR SERVICE. 
          WE'RE GONNA WORK DILIGENTLY ON THE TERMINAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. 
          WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO WORK ON ESTABLISHING MORE, UH, FEDERAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES, UH, FOR, FOR THE GRANTS. 
          AND WE WILL BE BRINGING, UH, FOR YOUR APPROVAL UNDER THE ONE OF THE NEXT B SESSIONS, UH, A PRES SOLICITATION FOR THE NEW CONCESSIONS PACKAGES FOR TERMINAL TERMINALS A AND B, AS THOSE ARE GOING IN MANY AREAS MONTH TO MONTH. 
          AND WE WANT TO, UH, CONTINUE TO GROW OUR NON AERONAUTICAL REVENUES. 
          THAT COMPLETES MY PRESENTATION. 
          JUST A TADD BIT DIFFERENT THAN TROY. 
          I WASN'T FIRST, I WAS LAST, BUT THANK YOU ALL FOR HAVING US HERE TODAY. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH, UH, JESUS, AND TO THE WHOLE TEAM, AND YOU CAN STAY THERE, JESUS, BECAUSE I'LL START WITH YOU. 
          AND, AND FIRST, CONGRATULATIONS NOT FOR BEING FIRST, BUT FOR BEING THE BEST. 
          UH, THE WHOLE, UH, THE WHOLE AIRPORT TEAM. 
          I'M GONNA SAY IT, YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE UP HERE BREAKING RECORDS, SO CONGRATULATIONS. 
          UM, THE, THE CREDIT GOES TO THE TEAM BEHIND ME, SIR. 
          IT'S, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE TEAM. 
          YEAH, WELL, THAT'S REALLY, UM, EVERYBODY DID A FANTASTIC JOB, BUT THE KUDOS TO THE AIRPORT STAFF, WE HAVE NOT BEEN TO THIS LEVEL OF SUCCESS BEFORE. 
          AND, AND IT, AND IT REALLY DOES GO TO SHOW THAT IT'S A TEAM EFFORT, UH, EVERYBODY INVOLVED, INCLUDING YOU, TROY, UM, UH, TO, TO MAKE THIS WHOLE, WHOLE EFFORT A SUCCESS. 
          BUT, UM, NO, I WANTED TO START WITH THAT BECAUSE IT'S REALLY POSITIVE NEWS FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND JUST SHOWS, UH, THE HARD WORK THAT EVERYBODY'S PITCHED IN TO DO, UH, YOU KNOW, THROUGH SOME VERY, VERY DIFFICULT TIMES DURING THE PANDEMIC. 
          MY QUESTION FOR YOU, JESUS. 
          UM, NUMBER ONE, UH, GLAD TO SEE THAT THE, THERE'S BEEN NO SLIDING OF THE, OF THE, UH, PROJECTIONS, TIMELINES, UH, FOR THE TERMINAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. 
          THAT'S EXCITING. 
          IF EVERYBODY PUT IT ON YOUR CALENDAR, MARCH 20, 28, WE'RE ALL GONNA BE WALKING IN, UH, TERMINAL ALPHA, WHATEVER WE'LL CALL IT AT THAT POINT. 
          UM, BUT I WANTED TO ASK YOU, AND MAYBE THIS IS RELATED TO, UM, SOMETHING THAT, THAT TROY OR BEN CAN WEIGH IN ON. 
          UM, WE 
          [01:10:01]
TAKE A LOT OF PRIDE IN OUR, OUR RATINGS AND HAVING THE LOWEST POSSIBLE INTEREST RATES. 
          UM, NOW THAT WE HAVE A DEGREE OF SUCCESS AND PEOPLE SEE AND ARE LATCHING ON TO THE SUCCESS OF, UH, SS A T, UH, THERE'S NEW LEVEL OF ACTIVITY. 
          WE'RE, WE'RE FINALLY SEEING, UH, SIGNIFICANT FEDERAL FUNDS FLOW TO SAN ANTONIO TO HELP COMPLETE OUR PLAN. 
          MY GUESS IS THAT IS GOING TO BEGIN TO SHOW UP IN THE OUTLOOK OF OUR RATINGS, UH, FOR DEBT. 
          AND AS WE GO INTO MORE LEVELS OF CAPITAL ACTIVITY THAT WILL BE MEANINGFUL IN TERMS OF SAVING AND STRETCHING EVERY DOLLAR. 
          AM I, AM I BEING, IS THAT AN ACCURATE, UM, ASSESSMENT? IT, IT IS, MAYOR. 
          UM, I, I WILL JUST TELL YOU, UM, A LOT OF IT IS THE EFFORTS THAT WE'RE, THAT WE'RE TRYING TO INITIATE AS IT RELATES TO THE AERONAUTICAL AND NON AERONAUTICAL REVENUES THAT WE'RE CONTINUING TO GROW. 
          WHEN WE LOOK AT WHAT WE'RE DOING AS AN AIRPORT AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE BUSINESS MODELS THAT WE'VE ESTABLISHED, ALL OF THAT IS WHAT'S GONNA BE FRAMED UP. 
          THERE IS A LOT OF CONCERN WITH THE ISSUANCE OF DEBT AND WHERE THESE INTEREST RATES ARE GOING TO GO. 
          WE ARE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF WORKING CLOSELY WITH OUR AIRLINES TO ESTABLISH A NEW AIRLINE USE LEASE AGREEMENT THAT'S GONNA CONTINUE TO ADD, UH, A COMPETITIVE CREDIT FOR THEM SO THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE TO, UH, IT'S A SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP WHERE WE CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER WITH THEM ON ESTABLISHING ADDITIONAL REVENUES THAT KEEPS THEIR COSTS LOW. 
          I CAN TELL YOU TOMORROW WE'RE HAVING A MEETING WITH THE AIRLINES, AND WE HAVE A $8 87 CENTS, UH, COST PER IN PLAIN PASS PASSENGER, ONE OF THE LOWEST WE'VE HAD HERE IN A LONG TIME. 
          AND THAT'S A, A TESTAMENT TO THE WAY THAT WE'RE DOING OUR BUSINESS. 
          SO THAT, ALONG WITH A MAJORITY INTEREST OF THE AIRLINES WANTING TO BE INVOLVED IN SOME OF THE DECISIONS THAT WE MAKE AS IT RELATES TO THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT AND THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT WE BUILD WITH THEM TO BE SUCCESSFUL. 
          UM, THAT'S THE WAY I WOULD OFFER IT TO YOU. 
          I THINK THE TEAM BETWEEN, YOU KNOW, BEN, TROY, AND MICHAEL, WE HAVE A FINANCE COMMITTEE THAT'S ESTABLISHED. 
          WE HAVE A DESIGN COMMITTEE, UH, THAT'S WORKING. 
          AND WE HAVE A CONSTRUCTION COMMITTEE THAT'S WORKING ALL IN PARALLEL UNDER THE EXECUTIVE, YOU KNOW, UH, LEADERSHIP TEAM WHERE WE MEET EVERY TWO WEEKS TO TALK ABOUT WHERE WE'RE SITTING. 
          AND ALL OF THOSE EFFORTS ARE COMING INTO FRUITION TO BEGIN TO PUT SHOVELS IN THE GROUND. 
          SO, UH, AS LONG AS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, CONTINUE TO GROW ADDITIONAL CAPACITY, I THINK THE AIRLINES WILL BE VERY FAVORABLE OF WANTING TO MOVE IN THIS DIRECTION. 
          AND AS ALWAYS, THEY WANT TO KEEP THEIR COST AS LOW AS POSSIBLE, AND WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO MARCH IN THAT TUNE AS WELL. 
          BROADLY SPEAKING, MAYOR, YES, IT HAS A DIRECT, IT HAS A DIRECT CONNECTION. 
          I MEAN THE, THE, UM, HOW THE CITY IS, UM, UM, RATED FINANCIALLY IN TERMS OF OUR PRACTICES, THE POLICIES THAT YOU GUYS AFFIRM, UH, ONCE A YEAR, UM, THAT THE ISSUANCE OF THAT DEBT IS GONNA HIT OUR BALANCE SHEET. 
          YEAH. 
          AND SO HOW WE MANAGE DEBT, UM, WHAT OUR FINANCIAL POLICIES ARE. 
          AND, AND YOU KNOW, TROY TALKED ABOUT THE, EACH OF THE RATING AGENCIES HAS THEIR OWN SCORING SYSTEM. 
          THERE'S ACTUALLY A, A DIFFERENT SYSTEM FOR AIRPORTS. 
          AND SO AS, AS, UH, UH, JESUS WAS TALKING ABOUT INCREASING NON-LINE REVENUE, UM, ACTIVITY IN MENTS PASSENGERS, ALL THOSE GO TOWARDS THE, UM, THE, UM, THE REVIEW THAT THE RATING AGENCIES WILL MAKE OF THE AIRPORT WHEN WE GET TO THAT POINT. 
          UM, BUT IT IS, IT IS VERY DIRECTLY TIED. 
          UM, IT'S NOT, IT, IT, WE'RE NOT ISSUING PROPERTY TAX BACKED DEBT, BUT THEY ARE PART OF THE CITY AND THEY'RE PART OF OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THEY'RE PART OF OUR FINANCIAL PRACTICES. 
          WELL, I KNOW WE'VE, WE'VE ON OCCASION BEEN PROACTIVE ABOUT SEEKING OUT THEIR FEEDBACK. 
          I WONDER IF, IF WE'VE DONE THAT RECENTLY, GIVEN ALL THE NEW ACTIVITY AT THE AIRPORT, AND, YOU KNOW, THE FACT THAT REVENUE'S PRETTY STRONG, UH, COMPARED TO WHERE WE'VE BEEN HISTORICALLY, IS THAT, IS THAT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US? THEY'RE WATCHING MAYOR, WE HAD, WE HAD A, UH, PRELIMINARY CONVERSATION ABOUT SIX OR SEVEN MONTHS AGO WITH ONE OF THE RATING AGENCIES. 
          AND THEN AS WE WENT THROUGH THE, UH, AGENCY PRESENTATIONS IN THE SUMMER, WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT THE AIRPORT. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, AND THE PLANS AND WHAT WE INTEND, UM, THEY'RE, THEY'RE TRACKING THAT. 
          UM, AND, AND FRANKLY WE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE, OF THE, UH, SESSIONS IN JULY TO UPDATE THEM ON WHAT'S COMING AROUND THE PIKE. 
          AND IN TERMS OF WHAT WE HAVE, UH, IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET, THE SIZE OF THE DEBT, UH, THAT WE'RE ANTICIPATING, UM, WE, WE, UH, WE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THAT OPPORTUNITY IN JULY. 
          OKAY. 
          GREAT. 
          WELL, UH, ANYTHING TO EASE THE PRESSURE OF THE OTHER FORCES THAT ARE, ARE, YOU KNOW, INFLATION, EVERYTHING THAT'S, THAT'S, UM, MAKING IT DIFFICULT. 
          SO GREAT JOB, UH, TO THE ENTIRE AIRPORT TEAM AND REALLY TO THE WHOLE CITY STAFF. 
          PUBLIC WORKS HAS DONE A FIN FANTASTIC JOB. 
          AND I'M ACTUALLY NOT BEING ACCURATE. 
          YOU GUYS ARE BREAKING RECORDS TOO. 
          ZY IN A GOOD WAY, JUST BECAUSE OF TEMPERATURE. 
          [01:15:01]
WHAT'S THAT? TEMPERATURE EVERY DAY WE ARE BREAKING THE RECORDS. 
          100 FOLD. 
          YEAH. 
          SO LET ME, LET ME, UM, YEAH, I AM BACKPEDALING A LITTLE BIT  'CAUSE I HAVE STREETS I WANNA DRIVE ON TOO. 
          UM, SO, UH, A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT. 
          WE'RE, WE'RE, SO I THINK SOME PEOPLE ARE IN DISBELIEF THAT WE'RE CHEERING THAT WE ARE GOING FROM FIVE YEARS TO THREE YEARS IN TERMS OF PAVEMENT MARKING CYCLING. 
          BUT JUST AS AN, JUST AS A REFERENCE POINT, 2018, UM, AT, YOU KNOW, THE URGING OF A FEW FOLKS, WE WENT TO THE, WE WENT FROM, WE WENT, WE ADOPTED THE FIVE YEAR CYCLE FROM WHAT WAS A 21 YEAR CYCLE. 
          WE HAD $1 MILLION IN THE PAVEMENT MARKINGS PROGRAM ANNUALLY, WE BUMPED THAT UP TO 5 MILLION. 
          SO WE'RE ESSENTIALLY 10 TIMES FASTER THAN WE WERE SIX YEARS AGO IN THE PAVEMENT MARKINGS, PROBABLY ROOM TO IMPROVE FROM THERE AS WELL. 
          BUT THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AND IT'S GONNA BE POSITIVE FOR PUBLIC SAFETY, UH, IN ADDITION JUST TO THE CONDITION OF THE STREETS. 
          UH, SO GREAT JOB, BRAZY. 
          I, I, UM, I DID WANT TO ASK THOUGH, UH, WITH RESPECT TO THE F STREETS, I APPRECIATE, I ASKED IF WE COULD SEE SORT OF HOW THE, THE NEEDLE IS MOVING ON AVERAGE P C I SCORE IN THE DISTRICT AS WELL AS, UM, YOU KNOW, PERCENTAGE OF F STREETS, BOTH OF WHICH ARE CONCERNS FOR, FOR ALL THE COUNCIL DISTRICTS. 
          CAN YOU EXPLAIN, UM, I THINK INSTINCTIVELY, I KNOW, UH, JUST BECAUSE THE, THE SOIL CONDITIONS ARE DIFFERENT, ET CETERA, BUT WHY ARE WE SEEING AS WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS, AND I THINK WE'VE MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS. 
          EVERYBODY, ALL THE DISTRICTS ARE, ARE ALMOST IN THE SAME SORT OF B ZONE RIGHT NOW. 
          UM, WHY ARE WE SEEING THE IMPROVEMENT ON AVERAGE P C I, BUT IN SOME CASES AN INCREASE IN THE PROPORTION OF STREETS THAT ARE RATED F IN A DISTRICT? WHY ARE WE SEEING THAT HAPPEN? AND HOW ARE WE ANTICIPATING THAT WE'RE GONNA SEE A REDUCTION IN THE F STREETS AND AN INCREASE IN THE P C I SCORES AS WE GET TO 2030? GOOD QUESTION, MAYOR. 
          UNTIL 2022, OUR GOAL WAS TO REACH EVERY COUNCIL DISTRICT 70 OR ABOVE. 
          THE, IF STREET WASN'T REALLY THE FACTOR WE WERE TRYING TO RAISE ENTIRE P C I AS A AVERAGE FOR EACH COUNCIL DISTRICT SINCE 2023, WE ARE PUTTING MORE EFFORT ON F STREET TO REDUCING THOSE F STREET. 
          WHAT WE USED TO HAVE. 
          AND ALSO YOU REMEMBER, WE GOT ADDITIONAL $10 MILLION FROM ARPA WE ARE USING ON THOSE F STREET. 
          OF COURSE, MANY OF THOSE PROJECT IS NOT REALLY BUILT YET. 
          THAT'S THE REASON YOU REALLY DON'T SEE EFFECT OF THOSE IN OUR P C I. 
          AND ALSO OUR BOND IS REALLY PUTTING OVER, IT'S RIGHT OVER 100 MILLION ON PROJECT IS GOING TO HELP US ON F STREET. 
          WE ARE ANTICIPATING IN 2013 EVERY COUNCIL DISTRICT TO BE 80 OR ABOVE AVERAGE P C I AND NO COUNCIL DISTRICT HAVE A F STREET MORE THAN 10%. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, SO I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          SO THAT'S MORE A REFLECTION OF HOW WE'VE EVOLVED IN TERMS OF THE EQUITY INDEX THAT WE'VE BEEN USING. 
          CORRECT. 
          AS OPPOSED TO ANY SORT OF SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE STREETS THAT WE'RE CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, SO THAT'S HELPFUL. 
          I WAS GONNA ASK YOU ABOUT DRAINAGE, BUT WE'LL, WE CAN SAVE IT FOR ON OFFLINE, BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH RAZZY. 
          LAST QUESTION IS FOR THE CAPITAL SIZE, SIR. 
          TROY, I JUST HAVE A QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU. 
          UM, RELATED TO THE PROJECTIONS OF THE, THE BOND PROGRAMS, UM, YOU KNOW, I I THINK WE'VE HAD TO KEEP UP WITH GROWTH. 
          SO OBVIOUSLY WE ARE DOING LARGER BONDS, UH, MORE PROACTIVE, UM, UH, INFRASTRUCTURE WORK. 
          UH, THAT'S WHAT A LOT OF CITIES ARE DOING. 
          PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED IF THEY SEE THAT DEBT RISING, BUT WE HAVE STAYED WITHIN, UM, OUR ADOPTED FINANCIAL POLICY WITH REGARD TO DEBT SERVICE, UH, PAYMENT, RIGHT, 21 CENTS. 
          YES, SIR. 
          OKAY. 
          WHAT IS THE STATUTORY LIMIT? UM, AS FAR AS THE STATUTORY LIMIT, UM, IT IS, THERE'S TWO LIMITS. 
          WE HAVE A CITY CHARTER LIMIT THAT IS A DOLLAR 50 PER A HUNDRED DOLLARS A TAXABLE VALUATION, AND A 10% ON THE STATE. 
          UM, FOR 10% OF OUR ASSESSED VALUATION. 
          WE'RE NOWHERE NEAR THAT FROM A TAXING LIMIT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO FOR IN TERMS OF WHAT THE STATE PERMITS, IN TERMS OF, UM, HOW MUCH DEBT PAYMENT COULD GO FROM OUR TAXABLE VALUE, IT'S BELOW THE 10%, BUT WE'RE ALSO ONLY, UM, WHILE THE STATE WOULD ALLOW A DOLLAR 50 PER A HUNDRED DOLLARS VALUATION, WE'RE AT 21 CENTS. 
          IS THAT CORRECT? IN THE, UM, THE DEBT SERVICE TAX RATES. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, MY QUESTION THEN IS WITH REGARD 
          [01:20:01]
TO THE PROJECTION OF THE BOND, IT'S ALMOST, UM, WE HEAR AFTER WE'VE, WE'VE PASSED THE BOND, WHAT DO WE PROJECT THAT THE NEXT COMMAND IS GONNA BE? I HEARD, I'VE HEARD IT THREE TIMES NOW. 
          ONCE IN 20 12, 13, ONCE IN 20, UH, 18, AND NOW IN 2023, OH, IT'S GONNA BE ROUGHLY THE SAME SIZE AS THE ONE WE JUST PASSED. 
          THAT'S NEVER TRUE. 
          SO MY QUESTION IS, IS, IS THAT A PROJECTION BASED ON 2020 $3 OR IS THAT WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY THINKING ABOUT, UH, IN TERMS OF WHAT OUR CAPACITY WILL BE IN 2023? IT, IT'S LOOKING AT WHAT OUR CAPACITY BE IN 2027 BASED ON THE DEBT PLAN. 
          WE'RE LOOKING AT ALL THOSE FUNDAMENTAL COMPONENTS I TALKED ABOUT THE, THE DEBT SERVICE TAX RATE, WHERE OUR PROJECTIONS ARE IN TERMS OF PROPERTY TAX VALUES, LOOKING AT THAT OVER TIME IN 2027, BASED ON OUR CAPACITY ANALYSIS, WE'RE LOOKING AT ROUGHLY THE $1.2 BILLION IN 2027 AND IN $23 OR $27 IN IN 27 IN $27, $27. 
          IT'S THE SAME ANSWER. 
          YOU, YOU, HE JUST GAVE YOU THE SAME ANSWER THAT I THINK YOU REFERENCED. 
          AND, AND, AND WHAT IT IS, IS, IS THEY'RE PROJECTING UP THAT DEBT MANAGEMENT PLAN, IT'S HOLDING CAPACITY AND MAKING SURE THAT, THAT WE'VE GOT THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY, BUT EVERY YEAR WE GET CLOSER TO 2027 THAT'LL BE UPDATED. 
          AND, AND, AND PRESUMABLY IN FISCAL YEAR 26, THE YEAR BEFORE, WE'LL DO THE, WE'LL GO THROUGH THE SAME EXERCISE TO REALLY ANALYZE WHAT THAT CAPACITY IS. 
          BUT AS IT SITS RIGHT NOW, ONE YEAR INTO IT, WE'RE HOLDING AT A MINIMUM THE $1.2 BILLION IN 2027. 
          AND, AND, YOU KNOW, VALUES CONTINUE TO, UM, UM, INCREASE. 
          I MEAN, WE'RE MODERATELY CONSERVATIVE IN TERMS OF PROJECTING BEYOND, UH, 2025, UM, BUT IF THOSE CHANGE, THEY'LL HAVE AN IMPACT ON THAT 2020 $7 AMOUNT OR CAPACITY AMOUNT. 
          OKAY. 
          DID I SAY THAT RIGHT? YOU SAID IT RIGHT. 
          WE'LL CONTINUE TO REFINE IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH 2027. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          SO STAY TUNED. 
          UM, ALRIGHT, WELL, I APPRECIATE THAT AND JUST MAYBE FOR MY OWN EDIFICATION, BUT I KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE ALREADY THINKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHAT IS THE NEXT ROUND OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS GONNA BE LOOKING LIKE, JUST SO WE CAN GET A SENSE OF PRIORITY. 
          UH, I WOULD SAY TROY AND BEN, UH, THE ENTIRE BUDGET OFFICE AND, AND FINANCIAL TEAM, UH, I I SAY EVERY, EVERY TIME I GET, WHEN YOU GUYS MAKE A PRESENTATION, THE STRENGTH OF THE CITY RESTS ON THE GREAT WORK THAT Y'ALL DO. 
          THE FINANCIAL HOUSE OF THE CITY IS ONE OF THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY, AND, AND WE'RE ABLE TO DO WHAT WE DO BECAUSE YOU GUYS DO YOUR JOBS VERY W WELL, SO I APPRECIATE, I APPRECIATE THAT AND, AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO BE MINDFUL OF THAT AS WE WORK FORWARD, UH, AS COUNCIL. 
          UM, LET'S GO INTO DISCUSSION NOW AND START WITH COUNCIL MEMBER MCKEE RODRIGUEZ. 
          THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          UM, AND THANK YOU ALL FOR THE PRESENTATION. 
          I WILL, UM, START OFF BY, UM, SAYING THAT I HONESTLY, I APPROACH EVERY BUDGET CYCLE CYCLE THE WAY I TRIED TO APPROACH THE FIRST ONE, WHICH IS, UM, VERY HYPERCRITICAL AND LOOKING FOR ALL THE WAYS THAT, YOU KNOW, ALL THE THINGS THAT, THAT ARE MISSING THAT I WANT TO SEE AND HOW ARE WE GONNA GET THAT? AND I WILL SAY THAT I, I THINK IT'S BEEN A LOT HARDER THIS BUDGET CYCLE BECAUSE I DO SEE, UM, A LOT OF THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE HAD OVER THE PAST YEAR REFLECTED AND EVEN FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. 
          AND SO I WILL BE FINDING SOME THINGS  , BUT I'M HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF A CHALLENGE RIGHT NOW, UH, WITH THE AIRPORT. 
          I THINK THIS MIGHT'VE BEEN YOUR SHORTEST PRESENTATION EVER. 
          UM, , I LOOK FORWARD TO RECEIVING A SIMILAR PRESENTATION IN ABOUT A MONTH. 
          , NO, THANK YOU. 
          UM, IT'S EXCITING WHAT'S HAPPENING AND I LOOK FORWARD TO, UH, CONTINUING THE WORK THERE. 
          UM, I'LL START OFF WITH THE DEBT MANAGEMENT PLAN. 
          AND MY QUESTION, UM, ONE, I THINK I, I REALLY LIKE THE PRESENTATION, BUT WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS SOMETHING THAT IS EASILY, UH, DIGESTIBLE BY THE AVERAGE CONSTITUENT. 
          AND SOMETIMES THAT MAKES, THAT MEANS TAKING, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FINANCE IN THIS WAY, YOU HAVE TO SIMPLIFY IT QUITE SIGNIFICANTLY. 
          AND WHAT I THINK HELPED, UM, WAS WHEN YOU WERE EXPLAINING THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF PROJECTS THAT HAPPEN THROUGH, UH, GENERAL OBLIGATION, CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION, REVENUE, BONDS AND TAX NOTES. 
          IF YOU COULD, UM, AMEND THE PRESENTATION, UH, OR CREATE SOME SORT OF PRE SOME SORT OF ONE PAGER THAT TALKS ABOUT OUR FINANCIAL POLICIES AND THESE TYPES OF PROJECTS THAT FIT UNDER THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF DEBT, I THINK THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT COULD EASILY BE EXPLAINED TO CONSTITUENTS. 
          SECOND TO THAT, UM, MY QUESTION'S GONNA BE RELATED TO OUR BOND RATINGS, AND SO OFTEN WE'LL ASK A QUESTION AND IT IS, THE ANSWER IS THAT X THING IS A PART OF OUR FINANCIAL POLICY. 
          AND WHAT I'M WONDERING IS, UH, WHEN YOU SAY THAT WE HAVE A FINANCIAL POLICY, ARE THEY MEANT TO SUPPORT OUR BOND 
          [01:25:01]
RATING? IS IT USED AS JUSTIFIC, UH, AS JUSTIFICATION OR SUPPORT FOR, YOU KNOW, A HIGH BOND RATING SUCH AS, UM, A TWO YEAR BALANCED BUDGET OR A 10% OF OUR RESERVE? LIKE IS THAT, WHY DO WE DO, WHY DO WE DO THAT IF NOT FOR OUR BOND RATING? IT, IT'S NOT JUST FOR OUR BOND RATING. 
          UM, BUILDING ON OUR RESERVES ARE MORE THAN JUST, I MEAN, I THINK THE, THE, UM, BYPRODUCT AND THE, THE BENEFIT IS THE RATING, BUT I THINK IT'S JUST PART OF OUR FINANCIAL POLICIES FOR FINANCIAL HEALTH IN ANY EVENT, THAT THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT, AN EVENT THAT'S TRIGGERED AND WE HAVE THOSE RESERVES TO FALL BACK ON. 
          SO I THINK IT'S MORE THAN JUST THE BOND RATING. 
          IT'S HOW WE MANAGE OUR FINANCIAL HEALTH AND OUR FINANCIAL POSITION WITH THE CITY. 
          THERE ARE, UM, AND I'LL JUST ADD TO THAT COUNCILMAN, THERE, THERE ARE CITIES IN THIS COUNTRY THAT, UM, THAT, UM, LAWED AND APPLAUD, UM, BIG THINGS THEY DO IN AN ANNUAL BUDGET AND THEN 12 MONTHS LATER, UM, THEY ARE IN DEFICIT POSITIONS AND THEY'RE CUTTING. 
          AND SO, UM, BEYOND RATINGS, I MEAN, THAT'S AN IMPORTANT THING THAT, THAT THOSE THREE AGENCIES LOOK AT. 
          UM, IT'S BEING GOOD STEWARDS OF, OF TAXPAYER PUBLIC DOLLARS AND OPERATING THIS BUSINESS AND ENSURING THAT THE THINGS THAT WE ADD THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO AFFORD GIVEN, UH, PROJECTIONS AND REVENUE. 
          UM, AND IT'S JUST A, IT'S A, IT'S A BEST PRACTICE THAT, THAT, UM, THAT WE INCORPORATE. 
          THOSE FINANCIAL POLICIES ARE REVIEWED BY YOU GUYS EVERY YEAR. 
          WE DO THE COUNCIL GOALS AND OBJECTIVES WORK SESSION, AND THEY'RE, THEY'RE GOOD GUIDEPOSTS FOR US AS STAFF, UM, TO MAKE SURE THAT, UM, THAT WE'RE, THAT WE ARE TREATING THE PUBLIC'S DOLLARS, UH, WITH, UM, THE, UH, RESPECT AND THOUGHTFULNESS THAT THE PUBLIC REQUIRE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND I, AND I DON'T NEED THIS ANSWER NOW, BUT AT SOME POINT I WOULD LIKE IT BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING, I, I'VE HEARD IT ASKED A COUPLE TIMES AND IT'S IN REGARD TO OUR RESERVE, UH, POLICY, AND IT'S, IF WE DIDN'T TAP INTO OUR RESERVES DURING THE PANDEMIC, WHAT IS A QUALIFYING CIRCUMSTANCE? AND I DON'T WANNA GET TOO FAR AWAY FROM DEBT MANAGEMENT, BUT I, THAT'S WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO AT SOME POINT HAVE A GREATER DISCUSSION ABOUT. 
          UM, AND THEN I GUESS WE'LL MOVE TO THE, UM, UH, PUBLIC WORKS. 
          UH, AND I THINK BEYOND JUST PUBLIC WORKS, I THINK WHEN WE APPROACH THIS BUDGET, I WANT TO ENSURE THAT EVERY LAST BIT OF FUNDS AND SUBSEQUENT PROJECTS ARE CONSIDERED THROUGH A LENS OF EQUITY. 
          AND I, I FEEL COMPELLED TO DISCUSS WHAT THAT MEANS TO ME IN A LITTLE BIT. 
          BUT I DO WANT TO GO TO A SLIDE SEVEN. 
          I'M GONNA START WITH STREETS. 
          AND I WANNA THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THIS. 
          THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I ASKED FOR WHEN, UH, WE HAD OUR, UH, BUT TRIAL BUDGET PRESENTATION, UM, IT SHOWS THAT WE'RE STILL ON TRACK TO REACH AN AVERAGE P C I SCORE OF, UH, AT LEAST 80% EACH DISTRICT BY 2030. 
          AND TO HAVE EACH DISTRICT WITH F STREETS, UM, I THINK WHERE I'M STRUGGLING MATH WISE, AND SO PREVIOUSLY, MY UNDERSTANDING IS DISTRICT TWO HAS 17% OF ALL F STREETS. 
          AND SO I'VE BEEN APPROACHING THIS THINKING ABOUT IT THAT WAY, WHEREAS INSTEAD WE'RE LOOKING AT DISTRICT TWO HAS, I MEAN, IT STILL SEEMS, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I THOUGHT I WAS READING. 
          SO THE P C I SCORES ARE ALL INDEPENDENT OF ONE ANOTHER. 
          SO DISTRICT TWO'S P C I SCORE IS NOT DEPENDENT ON DISTRICTS FIVE SEVEN, NONE OF THEM. 
          IT'S JUST HOW, HOW MUCH THE CONDITION OF MY STREETS, I THOUGHT OF F STREETS AS BEING THE PERCENTAGE IN THE ENTIRE CITY. 
          AND SO, BUT IF YOU ADD THAT UP, THAT'S NOT THE CASE. 
          AND SO IS THAT INSTEAD PERCENTAGE OF MY DISTRICT IS F STREET IS 16 16% OF F STREETS. 
          YES. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THEN WHEN I WAS THINKING ABOUT RO UH, THE MAYOR'S QUESTION, IT WAS I WAS UNDER, WHEN I, I WAS UNDER, WHEN I WAS UNDERSTANDING IT TO BE ALL A HUNDRED, ALL ADDING UP TO BE A HUNDRED PERCENT ITS PERCENTAGE IN THE WHOLE CITY, IT WOULD MAKE SENSE THEN FOR SOME OF THE DISTRICTS TO INCREASE THEIR PERCENTAGE BECAUSE IT HAS TO STAY AT A HUNDRED PERCENT. 
          SO IF I LOSE 3% OF MY F STREETS IN THE CITY'S UH, PIE, THAT 3% HAS TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. 
          BUT IN THIS INSTANCE, IF IT'S NOT AND IT'S COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT OF EVERYONE'S, WHY WOULD A DISTRICT LIKE FIVE GO FROM 7% TO 15% OR FOR SEVEN TO GO FROM 10% TO 13%? AND IS THAT BECAUSE, AND IF WE'RE LOOKING AT IT FROM 17, IS THAT JUST BECAUSE WE HAD A BAD POLICY THAT ALLOWED F STREETS TO INCREASE IN EACH DISTRICT? COUNCILMAN? I DON'T BELIEVE IT HAD BAD POLICY AT THE TIME. 
          17 AND 19 WAS THE POLICY. 
          WELL, PRIOR TO 17, FOR EVERY COUNCIL DISTRICT TO BE 70 AND ABOVE, WE HAD FIVE COUNCIL DISTRICT 1, 2, 3, 5, AND 10. 
          THEY WERE BELOW 70. 
          [01:30:01]
WE WERE MORE CONCENTRATING TO BRING THE AVERAGE P C I UP RATHER THAN F STREET. 
          NOW, OUR POLICY HAS CHANGED SINCE WE REACHED THAT GOAL. 
          WE WANNA IN 2030 TO BE OUR AVERAGE P C I AD OR ABOVE AND NO COUNCIL DISTRICT TO HAVE IT MORE THAN 10% IF STREET. 
          BUT, BUT I THINK YOUR QUESTION IS HOW DOES IT CHANGE? RIGHT? AND THAT, UM, PART OF THAT, UH, MAYBE BECAUSE WE'RE COMPARING 2017 TO 2023 AND WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT THE INCREMENTS MM-HMM. 
          . 
          AND SO WE CAN PEEL THAT UP. 
          AND, AND AS PART OF, UM, UM, GENERALLY, AND THIS IS FOR, UM, COUNCIL, UM, DISTRICT ONE, UM, SEVEN AND 10 FOLLOW UP ITEMS THAT COME OUTTA THESE MEETINGS, WE COMPILE INTO A MASTER REPORT BACK TO THE COUNCIL. 
          LET US GO BACK AND PULL THE INCREMENTS IN BETWEEN 17 AND 23 AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. 
          PART OF IT IS AGE TIME GOES BY, UM, PART OF IT IS BOND PROGRAMS OR STREETS, SKID REPAIRED. 
          UM, PART OF IT IS THE FIVE YEAR I M P THAT ALL PLAY IN THE CONDITION. 
          UM, BUT WE'LL, WE'LL BREAK THAT OUT SO THAT WE CAN, WE CAN WATCH AND SEE WHAT HAPPENED. 
          WE CAN LOOK BACK TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED BY DISTRICT. 
          WE CAN ALSO, IF YOU'D LIKE, AND I UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION ABOUT THE, THE ADDING UP TO A HUNDRED, ALTHOUGH THAT'S NOT HOW WE DO IT, WE COULD, WE COULD REDO THAT AND PUT THAT IN THE COUNCIL FOLLOW MEMO SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT IT IS CITYWIDE. 
          THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, I'LL TOUCH ON A LAST LITTLE BIT AND THEN I THINK I'M GONNA HAVE TO CHIME IN AGAIN, BUT, UM, TWO YEARS AGO I HAD ASKED FOR A PUBLICLY AVAILABLE ONLINE P C I SCORE MAP AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE CITY'S WORKING ON IT. 
          IS THAT, UH, GONNA BE, UM, ROLLED INTO THE PUBLIC WORKS DASHBOARD OR IT SOUNDS LIKE THE DASHBOARD IS GONNA BE JUST CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS THEMSELVES IN THEIR SCHEDULES. 
          IS THERE SOMETHING THAT WILL MAKE IT? SO I THINK AS WE MENTIONED, ACTUALLY ROD MENTIONED IN FALL OF THE WINTER OF THIS YEAR, WHICH IS LATER THIS YEAR, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE DASHBOARD, WE START WITH 2022 BOND PROGRAM. 
          MM-HMM. 
          SHOWING ALL THOSE BOND PROGRAM. 
          AS WE END UP ADDING FOR OUR DASHBOARD, WE ARE GOING TO SHOW ALL OF THE I M P SIDEWALK. 
          AND IN NEXT SIX MONTHS OR YEAR, WE ARE HOPING NOT JUST WE SHOW WHAT PROJECT IS ACTIVE, WE ARE GOING TO ALSO SHOW WHAT PROJECT YOU HAVE DONE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD LAST FIVE YEARS OR SO. 
          WHEN THE COMMUNITY WANTS TO KNOW WHAT INVESTMENT HAS BEEN DONE ON THOSE COMMUNITY, WE SHOW ALL OF THOSE PROJECTS, NOT JUST ONLY ACTIVE ONE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND I'LL, UM, BEFORE I HAVE TO CHIME OUT AND CHIME IN AGAIN, UM, AS FAR AS EQUITY GOES, AND I'VE SEEN IT, UH, THIS IS WHERE I THINK THERE'S ROOM FOR GROWTH IN SOME OF THE, UH, BUDGET ITEMS THAT I'VE SEEN EVEN OTHER IN OTHER DEPARTMENTS, IS THAT IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT EQUITY AS A MEANS TO ALLOW DISTRICTS TO CATCH UP IN THE RACE, UM, THAT MEANS THAT THEY'RE GONNA NEED MORE THAN WHAT'S WARRANTED. 
          SO IF I HAVE 17% OF THE CITY'S F STREETS, OR I'LL USE PARKS FOR EXAMPLE, IF I HAVE 20, IF I HAVE 22% OF THE UNSHADED PARKS, THEN AT LEAST 22% OF SHADE STRUCTURES SHOULD BE IN DISTRICT TWO. 
          AND THAT'S JUST TO MAINTAIN STATUS QUO. 
          IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE EQUITY. 
          IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT IN ORDER TO CATCH UP. 
          AND SO I WANT US TO APPLY THAT LENS, UH, THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE BUDGET BEYOND PUBLIC WORKS. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER CHU RODRIGUEZ. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER CORE. 
          OKAY. 
          RAZZIE, YOU CAN STAY THERE. 
          WE'LL START WITH YOU. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          SO QUICK QUESTION ON THE BUDGET INCREASE. 
          SO I NOTICED THAT YOUR OVERALL PUBLIC WORKS BUDGET INCREASED BY ABOUT 60 MILLION AND YOU ONLY ACTUALLY INCREASED ONE F T E. 
          AND SO I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE ADDITIONAL FUNDS WERE REALLY PUSHING TOWARDS BECAUSE THE STREET MAINTENANCE PROJECT IS STAYING LEVEL AND THE, THE SIDEWALKS PROJECT IS STAYING LEVEL. 
          SO THE COUPLE OF AREAS WHERE I FOUND THE ADDITIONAL FUNDS GOING WHERE THE ONE AND A HALF MILLION TO ALLEYS, WHICH DISTRICT ONE RESIDENTS ARE SUPER EXCITED ABOUT, I'VE ALREADY GOTTEN FEEDBACK ABOUT THAT. 
          UM, GOT THE COOL PAVEMENT AND WELL, ARE YOU GONNA COME UP AND SHARE, OH, SORRY, GO AHEAD. 
          I'LL STOP. 
          YEAH, LET ME ANSWER SOME OF IT. 
          AND JUSTINA. 
          OKAY. 
          WE ARE ADDING ADDITIONAL 2 MILLION FOR ADVANCED TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. 
          WE ARE ADDING MORE MONEY FOR TRAFFIC STRIPING PAYMENT MARKING. 
          WE ARE INCLUDING BON SERVICE ALLEY SIGNIFICANTLY, AND WE ARE ALSO ADDING $700,000 FOR RADAR SPEED DETECTION. 
          GOT IT. 
          IF YOU COULD DO AN OVERALL JUST LIKE BUDGET ANALYSIS OF WHERE THE ADDITIONAL FUNDS ARE GOING AND HOW MUCH WE WOULD WE ARE GETTING BY IN OUR DISTRICT, THAT WOULD BE SUPER HELPFUL. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S TOO TEDIOUS, BUT COUNCIL ONE, A BIG CHUNK OF THAT ALSO IS THE EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION, RIGHT? SO WE'LL BREAK THAT OUT. 
          OH, I SEE. 
          RIGHT, RIGHT. 
          SO, SO EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION IS INCLUDED IN THAT OVERALL BUDGET. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN SO YOU, THEN YOU HAVE YOUR PAYMENT MARKINGS THAT IS INCREASING BY ABOUT $5.6 MILLION. 
          AND THEN THE OTHER IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'VE INCLUDED IN THE GENERAL FUND AS WELL AS UH, THE ADVANCED TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT, UM, ARE THE LARGEST IMPROVEMENTS. 
          OKAY. 
          GOT IT. 
          THAT MAKES SENSE. 
          UM, AND SO IN, UM, 
          [01:35:01]
IN THE, FIRST OF ALL, LET'S START WITH THE ALLEYS. 
          THE D N F THAT YOU GUYS HAVE ALREADY THAT YOU SAID YOU'RE GONNA START WITH. 
          HAVE THOSE ALREADY BEEN RATED OR IS THAT GOING TO BE DONE DONE NEXT YEAR? THAT WILL BE DONE NEXT YEAR. 
          OKAY. 
          2024? NO, THAT THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN RATED. 
          THE WORK IS GONNA BE DONE NEXT YEAR ASSESSMENT IS DONE. 
          THE IMPROVEMENT WILL BE DONE NEXT YEAR. 
          YEAH. 
          PERFECT. 
          SO CAN WE SEE A LIST OF THOSE D N F ALLEYS? YES, WE CAN. 
          OKAY, AWESOME. 
          UM, AND THEN THE COOL PAVEMENT, WHAT ARE WE USING AS THE SUCCESS FOR THE PROGRAM TO SEE, UM, HOW, HOW TO INCREASE IT. 
          AS I MENTIONED, U T S A IS REALLY FOLLOWING UP AFTER WE FINISH THE CORE PAYMENT, WE ARE LOOKING FOR NUMBER OF FACTOR ONE IS HOW MUCH TEMPERATURE IS GOING TO BE LOWER. 
          THAT'S WHY. 
          SECONDLY IS IT ALSO HELPING OUR PAYMENT LESS LONGER BECAUSE THEN WE REALLY BENEFIT FROM, BECAUSE WE GOT TO DO SOME MAINTENANCE, ROUND GROWTH ROADWAY ANYWAY, WHY NOT DO THE COPAY, GET THE, INCREASE THE LIFE OF THE PAYMENT IN THE MEANTIME REDUCE THE TEMPERATURE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          OKAY, PERFECT. 
          UM, THE SIDEWALK CONDITION ASSESSMENT, WHAT'S THE PRO, UH, PROCESS THAT Y'ALL ARE GOING TO USE FOR CALCULATING THAT NUMBER? WE ARE GOING TO HIRE CONSULTING AFTER BUDGET IS ION, WE ARE PLANNING TO OR WORK ON THE R F Q U AND THEY WILL GO TO THE SITE MAINLY FIRST IS GOING TO BE MORE CENTRAL DOWNTOWN AREA MOSTLY AND SURVEY, OR THE SURVEY FOR THE SLOPES OBSTRUCTION, DETERIORATION IS IT IF THE A D A M EXCEED OR EXIST AS A MEET THE REQUIREMENT. 
          AFTER WE HAVE ALL THOSE INFORMATION, IT'LL HELP US TO DECIDE FOR NEXT YEAR SIDEWALK REPAIR FUNDING. 
          OKAY. 
          I, UM, THE ONE THING THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND OR SEE IF THERE'S AN OPTION, IF SOMEONE FROM COUNCIL STAFF WHEN YOU ARE RATING, UH, THE STREETS OR THE SIDEWALKS IN OUR DISTRICT, IF WE CAN ALSO JOIN SO THAT THEY CAN KIND OF SEE AND BE A PART OF THE PROCESS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. 
          I KNOW THAT'S REALLY DIFFICULT TO COORDINATE, BUT EVEN IF WE'RE JUST MADE AWARE OF IT, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL SINCE IT ISN'T, SEEMS LIKE A MANUAL PROCESS. 
          UM, THE ACCESSIBLE PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS, HOW ARE YOU ALL PRIORITIZING WHERE YOU'RE GONNA PLACE THOSE SIGNS ON THE SIDEWALK GAPS? OUR CRITERIA IS PEDESTRIAN SAFETY IS DID WE HAVE ANY ACCIDENT THERE? PROXIMITY TO SCHOOL, IF THERE'S A SCHOOL AND CHILDREN'S WALKING AND THERE'S NO SIDEWALK TRANSIT STATION. 
          IF THEY'RE GOING TO GO BUS TRANSIT, ARTERIAL ROADWAY, ZERO CAR, ZERO CAR HOUSEHOLDS, DISINFORMATION MAY GET DATA, HEALTHCARE FACILITY, IF THERE IS A HOSPITAL OR ANY OTHER HEALTHCARE FACILITY AND OTHER IMPORTANT DESTINATION PARKS, OTHER MAJOR FACILITY CAN BE. 
          BUT COUNCILMAN, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE THE PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS? YEAH. 
          NEXT SLIDE. 
          UM, THE 14, SLIDE 14 THAT, UH, THE, UH, THE ONE WITH THE MATCH ON THE TEXT SIDE, THAT'S THE ONE SHE'S ASKING ABOUT. 
          ROSIES THIS IS THE ONE THAT WE HAVE A NUMBER OF THE, WE HAVE A DOCUMENTATION ON OUR SIDEWALKS AND THE ROADWAY WHERE WE DON'T HAVE THE SIDEWALK CURB, RAMP EXITS. 
          AND WHERE WE DON'T HAVE AUDIBLE PAD OR WE DO HAVE IS NOT FUNCTIONING. 
          WE HAVE THOSE, WE ALSO APPLIED $40 MILLION GRANT FROM TECH DOT. 
          THEY HAVE SHORTLISTED OUR APPLICATION AND IF IT'S APPROVED, WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO PUT 82 AUDIBLE PAD AND 74 GRAM. 
          IF THEY DON'T PROVE IT, WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO ONLY 10 WITH THE FUNDING THEY'RE GOING TO GET. 
          AND WHERE ARE WE PUTTING THEM AT? WHERE ARE WE GONNA PUT THOSE AT? WE, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THE LOCATION, BUT I DON'T HAVE WITH ME. 
          OKAY. 
          WE'LL DO THAT. 
          WE'LL PUT THAT IN THE FOLLOW UP TO YOU. 
          YEP. 
          SO, UH, SUPER EXCITED TO SEE INFRASTRUCTURE MONEY RISING. 
          YOU KNOW, THAT'S ONE OF MY BIGGEST THINGS. 
          AND OUR STAFF IS REALLY COMMITTED TO MAKING THIS PROCESS AS PARTICIPATORY FOR OUR, UM, RESIDENTS AS POSSIBLE. 
          SO WE HAVE A WEALTH OF DATA THAT WE'RE GETTING FROM NEIGHBORHOODS EVERY WEEK. 
          AND I THINK OFTEN WHAT'S GET WHAT GETS LOST IS HOW WE MAKE THESE DECISIONS WHEN THE COMMUNITY DOESN'T REALLY REALIZE, OH, WELL HOW COME THEY, THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS GETTING ANOTHER PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK OR WHATEVER IT MAY BE, OR ANOTHER PEDESTRIAN SIGN AND WE'RE NOT, OR THIS, THIS, UM, NEIGHBORHOOD IS GETTING THEIR ALLEYS CLEANED UP AND WE'RE NOT. 
          SO IT WOULD JUST BE, I GUESS THE MESSAGE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE IS, AS MUCH AS WE CAN BE IN PARTNERSHIP, KNOWING IN ADVANCE HOW SOME OF THESE DECISIONS ARE MADE AND PROVIDING INPUT ON THAT, THAT WOULD HELP US CREATE COORDINATION. 
          AND WE HAVE TWO PEOPLE ON STAFF SOLELY DEDICATED TO INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS. 
          SO, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD HIRE THEM AS CONSULTANTS. 
          WE'LL HAPPILY TAKE THAT PROJECT . 
          BUT NO, WE JUST WANNA BE REALLY STRONG PARTNERS AND SEE ALL THESE LISTS AND THESE DECISION METRICS BEFOREHAND. 
          THE LAST THING ON PUBLIC WORKS THAT WANTED TO 
          [01:40:01]
FIGURE OUT, AND I UNDERSTAND DRAINAGE IS A BIG ISSUE AND NOT ONE THAT WE CAN TACKLE ALL IN ONE BUDGET CYCLE, BUT WE, WE HAVE SOME MAJOR STREETS AND ISSUES THAT WE'RE KIND OF DOING MILL AND OVERLAYS WITH JUST TO TEMPORARILY FIX RIGHT NOW. 
          SO FOR OUR DRAINAGE PROJECTS, WHAT PER, DO YOU HAVE A LIST OF WHAT, WHAT PERCENTAGE ARE KIND OF UNFUNDED RIGHT NOW WITHIN DISTRICT ONE? LIKE THE BIG ONES? WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT NEED ON DRAINAGE THROUGHOUT THE CITY, AND WE DO HAVE FOR COUNCIL DISTRICT ONE AND IN ALL OTHER COUNTRY WE CAN PROVIDE WITH THE LIST. 
          OKAY, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, OKAY. 
          THAT'S, I THINK ALL I HAVE FOR PUBLIC WORKS FOR NOW. 
          AND THEN JUST A QUICK QUESTION ON, UM, THE DEBT MANAGEMENT PLAN. 
          UM, SO FOR THE, UH, THE ONE QUESTION THEY HAD IS THE AD VALOREM DEBT PER CAPITA. 
          WHY ARE WE BOASTING THAT WE'RE LOWER, LIKE LOWER IN THE ADOR DEBT? BEING LEVERAGED ISN'T NECESSARILY A BAD THING, RIGHT? IT'S NOT A BAD THING, BUT YOU LOOK AT IT ON THE AMOUNT THAT EACH CITIZEN OWE OWES. 
          UM, WE HAVE A LOWER DEBT PER CAPITA THAN OTHER CITIES. 
          SO THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE REPRESENT THE SLIDE TO KIND OF SHOW IN COMPARISON WHERE WE AREN'T EVERYBODY ELSE. 
          AND, AND HONESTLY COUNCILWOMAN, UM, WE, WE PROBABLY DO THAT OUTTA HABIT BECAUSE THERE'S UM, THERE WILL BE FOLKS THAT COME TO ONE OF THE PUBLIC HEARINGS SAYING THAT WE ARE ISSUING TOO MUCH DEBT TOO, RIGHT? SO, UM, WE STARTED INCORPORATING THIS SLIDE, BUT TO YOUR POINT, IT'S NOT NECESSARILY A BAD THING AS LONG AS IT'S BEING LEVERAGED FOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. 
          YEAH. 
          SO IT'S A PART OF LIKE ALSO, UM, UH, AWARENESS, RIGHT? WE WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE SENDING THE RIGHT MESSAGE AND WE'RE, UM, SHOWING WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO BE VERY HIGHLY BOND RATED AND BE USING DEBT AT THE SAME TIME, UM, TO MAKE OUR IMPROVEMENTS IN OUR CITY AND QUALITY OF LIFE BETTER EVERY DAY. 
          UM, OKAY. 
          AND I DID HAVE ONE MORE THING. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, THE LAST THING I WANNA SAY, RAZZIE FOR PUBLIC WORKS IS, UM, ALSO FOCUSING ON THOSE RA RAISE, OUR RAISE RADAR FEEDBACK SIGNS, IF WE HAVE ANY INFORMATION FOR WHERE THOSE ARE ALREADY GOING TO BE LOCATED, THAT WOULD ALSO BE REALLY HELPFUL. 
          AFTER THE BUDGET PERU, WE ARE GOING TO WORK OUR CONTRACTOR TO ORDER THE MATERIAL, AND OUR INTENTION IS TO PUT THESE ON HISTORY OF SPEEDING ACCIDENT, HIGHLY TRAVELED ROADWAY CANCEL REQUEST, AND 3 1 1. 
          AWESOME. 
          AND WE WILL, IT WILL PROBABLY TAKE US ALMOST A YEAR TO INSTALL 100 THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. 
          PERFECT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND THEN ROD ON THE DASHBOARD, SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THAT. 
          CAN WE JUST MAKE SURE WE HAVE SOME USER TESTING WHILE WE'RE, UM, DEVELOPING IT BECAUSE LIKE THE CURRENT SYSTEM, I CAN'T EVEN REALLY MANAGE TO MANEUVER, SO JUST MAKING SURE WE HAVE LIKE REGULAR CONSTITUENTS ON. 
          THANK YOU ALL. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER COR. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER ROCHE GARCIA. 
          THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY FOR THE PRESENTATIONS. 
          I'LL START OFF WITH TROY. 
          AND SO, UM, IT'S, I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF EASY QUESTIONS. 
          SO FIRST, UM, YOU MENTIONED THAT THE, THAT NOW IT SOUNDS LIKE MOODY'S WATCHES, THE MEDIA NOW INCORPORATES FROM ALL, ALL RADIO AGENCIES. 
          THEY, UM, THEY HAVE CONSTANT SURVEILLANCE OF THE CITY. 
          OKAY. 
          I GUESS I, I GUESS I HAD NEVER HEARD THAT UNTIL MAYBE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. 
          AND SO, SO I WAS WONDERING, UM, BUT I RECENTLY HEARD THAT WHEN THE US WAS DOWNGRADED, HOW DO YOU THINK DOES THAT AFFECT US, THAT THE US WAS DOWNGRADED FROM AAA TO AA PLUS? I THINK THEY LOOK AT THE SOVEREIGN RATING A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN THEY DO FROM MUNICIPALITIES. 
          OKAY. 
          THEY LOOK AT US SEPARATELY. 
          I MEAN, YEAH, IT COULD HAVE AN IMPACT, BUT I THINK BASED ON OUR FINANCIAL HEALTH, BASED ON THE METRICS, BASED ON OUR CONVERSATIONS, WE'RE STILL FINANCIALLY STRONGLY, THEY LOOK AT US INDEPENDENTLY AND DIFFERENTLY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND THEN ON SLIDE NUMBER FIVE, YOU HAD, UM, A NICE CHART AND THE AVERAGE, UH, LIFE IN YEARS. 
          DO WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT KIND OF, I'LL SAY, MAYBE CLOSES OUT SOME OF THESE, LIKE, YOU KNOW, THAT TELLS US HOW MANY YEARS WE'VE HAD, LIKE FOR INSTANCE, THE CITY TOWER OR ANY OF THOSE, DO YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? LIKE THE PROGRESS WE DO, I MEAN, INTERNALLY WE HAVE OUR WORK PAPERS THAT SHOW EVERY DEBT ISSUANCES, EVERY DEBT ISSUANCE AND HOW IT'S TERMED AND HOW IT'S, HOW IT'S, UM, FUNCTIONING. 
          WE ALSO HAVE AN OVERALL, UM, AN OVERALL MEASURE THAT WE LOOK AT THAT SHOWS HOW MUCH DEBT THAT WE PAY OFF DURING THE YEAR, HOW MUCH THAT WE ISSUE AND WHERE WE ARE. 
          SO, UM, AND CURRENT OUTSTANDING DEBT. 
          BUT WE DO HAVE THAT INFORMATION. 
          GOT IT. 
          I'D LOVE TO JUST LOOK AT IT ONE DAY. 
          IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE DURING BUDGET, 'CAUSE I KNOW YOU ARE BUSY WITH SOMETHING ELSE, BUT I JUST, I WAS JUST, UM, WONDERING WHEN I SAW THIS, BUT JUST ANOTHER CHANCE. 
          BUT THANK YOU. 
          THAT'S ALL, THAT'S ALL FOR YOU. 
          AND THEN, UM, JESUS, I'LL START OFF WITH MY, UM, AIRPORT QUESTIONS, BUT I, I WANTED TO ASK YOU ABOUT, UM, HOW ARE WE ACCOUNTING, UH, FOR INNOVATION? I MENTIONED INNOVATION, I'VE MENTIONED INNOVATION, INNOVATION A FEW TIMES, BUT SPECIFICALLY MAYBE, MAYBE, UH, FLIGHT OPERATING PROTOCOLS FOR THINGS LIKE UBER AIR OR ANY OF THESE, UM, TECHNOLOGIES OF THE FUTURE THAT ARE GONNA USE LIKE VERTI PORTS OR, 
          [01:45:01]
UM, SKY PORTS. 
          HOW ARE WE BUILDING THAT INTO OUR AIRPORT? YEAH, SO IT, IT'S A, IT'S A CONSTANT MOVE, UH, OF EVOLUTION THAT'S HAPPENING. 
          SURE. 
          AS YOU LOOK AT WHAT'S AVAILABLE FROM, NOT ONLY ON THE AIRLINE PERSPECTIVE, BUT ON THE AIRPORT PERSPECTIVE AS WELL, UM, WHETHER YOU LOOK AT THE CT MACHINES THAT I REFERENCED EARLIER FROM, UH, HAVING THREE D IMAGING WHEN YOU GO THROUGH THE CHECKPOINT IS A BRAND NEW INNOVATION THAT JUST WENT INTO AIRPORTS. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE ALL OF OUR MACHINES, UH, DIVERT TO THAT. 
          UM, THERE'S A NUMBER OF EFFORTS, UH, I THINK WE CAN GIVE YOU A LIST OF ALL THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE DONE TO PUT IN, WHETHER IT'S, UH, FOR ACCESSIBILITY OR FOR SUSTAINABILITY, OR JUST CREATIVE INNOVATION. 
          WE CAN GIVE YOU A FULL LIST OF ALL THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE DONE. 
          I LOVE THAT. 
          BUT I'M, I WAS MORE CONCERNED WITH THE BUDGETING FOR IT, RIGHT? LIKE, HOW ARE WE ACCOUNTING FOR, UM, EVEN TESTING THE TECHNOLOGIES THAT R AND D ASSOCIATED WITH IT. 
          BUT I THINK ERIC WAS GONNA ADD, SO, WELL, I WAS JUST GONNA, I THINK YOUR QUESTION WAS ABOUT, UH, VTOLS IN THAT EMERGENCY EMERGING INDUSTRY, UM, FRANKLY, IF YOU'LL RECALL THE, THE ORIGINAL PRELIMINARY DESIGNS THAT CORRIGAN PRESENTED TO THE COUNCIL CONTEMPLATED, WE ASKED THEM TO KIND OF THINK THROUGH THAT. 
          YES. 
          BECAUSE AS WE BUILD THE NEW TERMINAL ON THE GROUND TRANSPORTATION CENTER AND DEVELOP THAT CORNER OF THE AIRPORT, I MEAN, IT'S GONNA BE THERE FOR 30 OR 40 YEARS AND THINGS WILL CHANGE PROBABLY BEFORE WE EVEN FINISH THE TERMINAL. 
          YEAH. 
          SO WE'RE LOOKING AT POSSIBLY INCORPORATING THAT INTO THAT DESIGN THAT'S UNDER UNDERWAY RIGHT NOW. 
          THE OTHER THING THAT THE AIRPORT IS ACTIVELY WORKING ON WITH C P S IS THINKING THROUGH, UM, AND TRYING TO FORECAST WHERE WE'RE GONNA BE IN TERMS OF EV VEHICLES, BOTH PERSONAL VEHICLES THAT GO TO THE GARAGE, BUT ALSO THE TRANSITION OF THE FLEET, A LARGER FLEET AT THE AIRPORT, AS WELL AS, UM, A LOT OF THE, UM, THE AIRLINE, UM, UM, VEHICLES THAT ARE ON THE TARMAC. 
          UM, SO MAKING SURE THAT WE'VE GOT THE CAPACITY FROM C P S BUILT IN. 
          UM, SO THOSE ARE, THERE'S A LOT OF THAT CONVERSATION GOING ON RIGHT NOW, ESPECIALLY AS IT TALK, AS IT RELATES TO THE NEW BUILDING. 
          OKAY. 
          WONDERFUL. 
          AND AGAIN, I WAS JUST WORRIED BECAUSE LIKE HOW, HOW ARE WE GONNA BUDGET FOR THAT OR FOR THAT SUDDEN CHANGE OR, UM, ANY TYPE OF DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY RIGHT. 
          AND, AND SPECIFICALLY IN YOUR INDUSTRY. 
          AND SO, UM, THE FUNDING THROUGH PUBLIC PRIVATE, LIKE WHAT ARE WE DOING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE, UM, LEVERAGE THAT AND PREPARE FOR THAT FUTURE? I DON'T THINK THAT WE TALK ENOUGH ABOUT IT. 
          AND I DO THINK THAT, UM, UM, NAVIGATION AIRSPACE REGULATIONS, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO BE INTO THAT RIGHT FROM THE I G R SIDE OF IT. 
          UM, BUT WITH OPERATOR PROTOCOLS AND HOW WE MANAGE OUR GATES, ET CETERA, AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THEY'LL BE CALLED GATES IF IT'S, UM, UM, A, A SKYPORT, RIGHT. 
          SO I'M JUST, UM, I GUESS WORRIED ABOUT WHAT I DON'T KNOW YET. 
          RIGHT. 
          OR SO WHAT, WHAT MOST OF US DON'T KNOW OR THE UNSEEN, THE, THE BEST WAY I, UM, I CAN EXPLAIN IT TO YOU. 
          I SIT ON THE AIRPORT COUNCIL INTERNATIONAL FOR NORTH AMERICA. 
          I SIT ON THE US POLICY COUNCIL. 
          GOOD. 
          AND WE'RE CONSTANTLY MONITORING ALL ACTIVITIES THAT ARE HAPPENING IN AND AROUND AIRPORTS. 
          WE HAVE A NUMBER OF EXCHANGES WITH A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT AIRPORT DIRECTORS. 
          UH, I ALSO ON THE OTHER SIDE WITH, UH, AAAE, WHICH IS ANOTHER, UH, AIRPORT, UH, COMMUNITY, I, I SIT ON THE PLANNING REVIEW COMMITTEE FOR THAT. 
          SO WE'RE CONSTANTLY RIGHT IN THE, IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. 
          UM, WE HAVE A STRATEGY AND INNOVATION AND A PERFORMANCE TEAM THAT IS CONSTANTLY LOOKING AT, AS WE REFERENCED TO THE WAY THAT WE'RE DELIVERING WHAT WE DELIVER DAY IN AND DAY OUT, UH, FROM A PERFORMANCE STANDPOINT, WHAT GETS, UH, MEASURED GETS ACCOMPLISHED. 
          SO THERE'S A LOT OF DATA THAT GOES INTO OUR DECISION MAKING, AND THERE'S A LOT OF INNOVATION THAT WE'RE TESTING AND PILOTING. 
          UH, AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW THE AIRPORT, THERE'S SOME DESIGN STANDARDS THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT AS WELL. 
          WE'VE, UH, ESTABLISHED THAT FOR ALL OF OUR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. 
          SO WE HAVE DESIGN STANDARDS THAT WE'RE WORKING OFF OF, OF WHAT OUR EXPECTATIONS ARE AS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. 
          GOT IT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THAT MAKES ME FEEL, UM, A LITTLE BIT BETTER. 
          RIGHT. 
          UH, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT, THAT YOU'RE INVOLVED AND THAT WE'RE PLANNING FOR IT. 
          UM, I HEARD AT A RECENT CONFERENCE THAT, UM, THAT, THAT IT, I THINK THEY SAID UBER AIR WAS COMING TO, UM, WHAT, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH CITY IN TEXAS MM-HMM. 
          . 
          AND SO I JUST WANNA, IS IT DALLAS? YEAH. 
          I JUST DON'T WANNA BE LEFT BEHIND. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND SO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE, UM, THAT, THAT WE'RE CONSIDERING IT. 
          AND THEN IN TERMS OF AIR, AIR STRATEGY, AIR SERVICE STRATEGY, UM, CAN YOU TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MAYBE THE, THE, THE UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR AND SPECIFICALLY WHAT KEY MARKETS WE'RE LOOKING TO PENETRATE? BRIAN, COME ON UP AND TALK ABOUT THAT. 
          AND I KNOW THAT WE HAVE, UM, MEXICO, UM, UP THERE AS ONE, BUT THANK YOU, RYAN. 
          GO AHEAD. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON. 
          UM, MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS, BRIAN PRATT, CHIEF AIR AIR SERVICE DEVELOPMENT OFFICER. 
          SO YES, WE DO HAVE A 36 MONTH, UH, AIR SERVICE STRATEGY IN, UH, IN PLACE NOW. 
          UH, THAT'S BEEN IN EFFECT FOR PROBABLY ABOUT SIX TO EIGHT MONTHS, UH, AT LEAST. 
          [01:50:01]
AND WE'VE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE TO JESUS'S COMMENTS, BEEN ABLE TO CHECK SOME OF THOSE OFF THE LIST AS, AS WE GO FORWARD. 
          UH, WE DEFINITELY STRATEGIZE AND PRIORITIZE SOME OF OUR MARKETS, UH, BASED ON WHERE WE SEE GROWTH, UH, THE GREATEST OPPORTUNITY AS WELL AS ALIGNING OUR DESIRES OR NEEDS WITH AIRLINE STRATEGY. 
          UH, JUST BECAUSE THERE'S AN AIRLINE OUT THERE DOESN'T MEAN THEY HAVE AN AIRCRAFT OR THE ABILITY TO ADD THAT MARKET. 
          SO WE'RE, WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING AT WHERE THAT, THAT LOOKS, UM, WHETHER THAT'S DOMESTIC, UH, SOUTH OF THE BORDER, NORTH OF THE BORDER, ACROSS THE POND, UH, WE WE'RE KIND OF ALIGNING ALL OF THOSE. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF THAT, AND THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE LEVERAGING WITH GREATER SS A T X AND WITH THE INCENTIVES, UM, CORRECTLY GETS ALL BUILT OFF OF THAT PLAN WHERE IT MAKES SENSE, COUNCILWOMAN. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          GREAT. 
          SO WE'RE, WE ARE, AND JESUS MENTIONED IN HIS PRESENTATION, SOUTH, UH, CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA, MEXICO, AS THE F A A CHANGES THE CATEGORY REQUIREMENTS, MEXICAN AIRLINES ARE NOT ABLE TO, TO EXPAND RIGHT NOW, AND THERE ARE PLANS TO DO THAT. 
          TRANSATLANTIC, LIKE BRIAN SAID, UH, DOMESTICALLY, IT'S REAGAN, IT'S RALEIGH, UH, KANSAS CITY WAS AT THE TOP OF OUR LIST, BUT THAT GOT TAKEN CARE OF THAT ONE OF THE THINGS WE'LL INCLUDE, AND I THINK IT'S A GOOD INFORMATION PIECE FOR THE COUNCIL, THESE GUYS TRACK THE AIRPORT TRACKS WHERE PEOPLE ARE GOING. 
          WE DON'T HAVE A CONNECT ON A CHART. 
          SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THAT IN THE PAST. 
          WE'LL PUT THAT IN THE COUNCIL FOLLOW-UP MEMO. 
          SO YOU CAN SEE BY CITY WHERE PEOPLE ARE TRAVELING FROM SAN ANTONIO, WHERE WE DON'T HAVE A DIRECT, AND WE USE THAT AS A GUIDE. 
          I I SAY, I SAY SOMETIMES WITH GREATER SS A T AND, AND, AND VISIT SAN ANTONIO, AND THAT YOU HAVE GREATER S A T X FROM A BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE AND VISIT SAN ANTONIO FROM A VISITOR'S STANDPOINT. 
          SOMETIMES THERE'S OVERLAP, SOMETIMES THERE'S NOT. 
          AND, AND WHEN THERE'S A LOT OF OVERLAP, WE WORK, UH, TOGETHER TO, TO TRY TO INCENTIVIZE. 
          THE ONLY OTHER THING I'D ADD TO WHAT WE'VE DISCUSSED THUS FAR IS THERE'S, THERE'S A LARGE SHIFT THAT'S HAPPENING IN THE MARKET AS IT RELATES TO OUR PEOPLE TRAVELING FOR BUSINESS. 
          MM-HMM. 
           OR ARE PEOPLE TRAVELING FOR LEISURE? SAN ANTONIO IS A HEAVY LEISURE MARKET. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , UH, NOT ONLY IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, BUT ACROSS THE US AND INTO THE GLOBE. 
          SO WE ARE PURPOSEFULLY LOOKING AT ALL OF THE NUMBERS AND ENSURING THAT WE ARE ATTRACTING PEOPLE TO WANT TO COME TO SAN ANTONIO WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY EXISTS, WHETHER IT'S PASSENGERS GOING OR COMING MM-HMM. 
          , WE'RE CONSTANTLY LOOKING AT THOSE NUMBERS. 
          SO A LOT OF SHIFT THAT'S HAPPENING. 
          I THINK WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO SEE THAT WITH THE AIRLINES AS THEY'RE GONNA SHIFT THEIR PRODUCT. 
          MM-HMM. 
           AND THEIR PLANES INTO DIFFERENT DESTINATIONS BECAUSE THEY WANT TO GO INTO SE INTO, INTO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. 
          AND DO WE HAVE THE CAPACITY, UM, WITH WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE TO ABSORB, UM, ALL, ALL THAT UNMET NEED OR FUTURE NEED WE DO. 
          UM, AS, AS IT RELATES TODAY WITH 27 GATES AND THEN THE BRIDGE THAT I REFERENCED EARLIER WITH ADDING ADDITIONAL GROUND LOADING FACILITY THAT WAS PURPOSEFUL IN THE MIDDLE OF 2020 AND 2021 TO ENSURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO ADD GATE CAPACITY INTO WHAT WE'RE DOING. 
          UM, WE LOOK AT THE CURRENT CONDITIONS OF OUR ASSETS AND ENSURING THAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO GROW. 
          WONDERFUL. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I'LL CHIME BACK IN FOR PUBLIC WORKS. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER ROCHE GARCIA. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER COURAGE. 
          THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          UH, I'D LIKE TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT DEBT MANAGEMENT FOR, FOR A MINUTE OR TWO. 
          I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. 
          UM, ON SLIDE TWO WE TALK ABOUT, UH, COOS CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION. 
          AND I NOTICED IN, IN SLIDE TWO IT SAID, UM, UNDER THE COOS 45 DAYS NOTICE, WHY 45 DAYS, WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO DERAIL A C O O EFFORT WITHIN A 45 DAY PERIOD? UH, BASED ON STATUTE, WE ARE REQUIRED TO DO A NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE COS FOR 40, GIVE 45 DAYS IN THE EVENT, UM, WE HAVE TO ADVERTISE THAT, UM, ON OUR WEBSITE. 
          WE ALSO ADVERTISE THAT IN A, UM, A PUBLICATION AND IN THE EVENT THAT A CITIZEN OR SOMEBODY WOULD COME UP AND SAY OR HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT IT, THAT WOULD BE UP TO COUNCIL TO, UM, IF THEY WANNA MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT ISSUANCE FOR THAT CO FOR A SPECIFIC PROJECT. 
          SO IT'S FOR PUBLIC INPUT AND POSSIBLE OBJECTION AND REQUEST THE COUNCIL RECONSIDER IT'S PUBLIC NOTICE, PUBLIC NOTICE, PUBLIC DISCLOSURE. 
          THERE ARE, THERE ARE PROBABLY A BUNCH OF EXAMPLES, UH, THROUGHOUT THE STATE WHERE, UM, THINGS HAVE BEEN DONE AND THE LEGISLATURE TOOK ACTION TO MAKE SURE THAT IF MUNICIPALITIES ARE GONNA DO OR USE ISSUE A C F O THAT'S NOT VOTER APPROVED, THAT THAT THERE'D BE PUBLIC DISCLOSURE THEN COULD THAT MEAN THAT PEOPLE COME AND COMPLAIN? THE COUNCIL COULD CHANGE ITS MIND THEORETICALLY. 
          YES, SIR. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          ON SLIDE THREE, UH, YOU HAVE FOUR GRADES, UH, FOR WHAT WE CALL SATISFACTORY, UH, TO THE MARKETPLACE FOR THE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF, OF HOW THEY'RE GRADED AS, AS, UH, BONDS. 
          UM, AND SO ARE ALL OF THOSE 
          [01:55:01]
SATISFACTORY TO THE FINANCIAL MARKETS? NO, SIR. 
          TYPICALLY YOUR PRIME AND YOUR HIGH GRADE ARE GONNA BE THE LOW RISK, UM, BASICALLY SIGNIFY A LOW DEFAULT RISK FOR THE INVESTORS WHEN YOU STICK START GETTING LOWER. 
          UM, I TALKED ABOUT IT BEING SIMILAR TO A REPORT CARD. 
          UM, I WOULD SAY YOUR PRIMARY HIGH GRADE OR YOUR A AND DS AND THEN YOUR UPPER MEDIUM GRADE AND YOUR LOWER MEDIUM GRADE ARE GONNA TEND TO BE YOUR CD AND FS. 
          AND SO THE LOWER YOU GO, LOWER YOU ARE ON THE SCALE, THE HIGHER RISK AND THE MORE, MORE YOUR DEBT WILL COST. 
          YEAH. 
          I JUST WONDER, 'CAUSE I NOTICED PART OF OUR AIRPORT BONDS ARE TRIPLE BS, WHICH IS I GUESS PRETTY LOW. 
          UH, WHAT CAN WE DO TO IMPROVE THOSE RATINGS FOR THOSE AIRPORT BONDS? THEY'RE MOSTLY, I THINK WHAT THE, UH, IT'S THE, UM, WHAT THE PEOPLE PAY FOR, YOU KNOW, THEIR, THEIR FLIGHTS. 
          YEAH. 
          THEY CONTINUE. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, AS ERIC MENTIONED, THEY CONTINUE TO WATCH US THROUGH THEIR ANNUAL SURVEILLANCE. 
          THOSE PARTICULAR BONDS ARE OUR AIRPORT OR OUR CUSTOMER FACILITY CHARGE REVENUE BONDS RIGHT NOW. 
          THOSE ARE THERE IN PLACE TO SATISFY THE CONSTRUCTION OR TO PAY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION ON THE CONTRACT THAT WE PUT IN PLACE. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , WE DON'T ANTICIPATE, ANTICIPATE ISSUING, AT LEAST RIGHT NOW, ANY ADDITIONAL CONTRACT REVENUE BONDS. 
          AND SO THOSE WILL TYPICALLY STAY IN PLACE, I BELIEVE FOR THE, THE TIME BEING. 
          SO THERE ARE OLDER BONDS GETTING PAID OFF? YES. 
          OKAY. 
          WHAT, WHAT IS THE RATING FOR JUNK BONDS? OH, I THINK THAT YOU'RE GONNA BE DOWN INTO THE BS OR BELOW, JUST THE B OR BELOW. 
          OKAY. 
          THANKS. 
          ON SLIDE NINE, UH, THE PROJECTED TAX RATE FOR 2014, I, I MEAN 2024, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE I READ THIS RIGHT. 
          IT'S ACTUALLY LOWER THAN THE TAX RATE FOR 2023, IS THAT CORRECT? THE, UM, 20, YEAH. 
          SLIGHTLY LOWER. 
          THE, UM, THE M AND O TAX RATE OF POINT 33 IS SLIGHTLY LOWER. 
          UM, THE DEBT SERVICE TAX RATE IS EXACTLY THE SAME. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO JUST WANNA MAKE SURE ANYBODY WATCHING UNDERSTANDS THAT THAT'S A LOWER TAX RATE THAT WE'RE MOVING FORWARD ON. 
          UH, SLIDE 11 TALKS ABOUT AIRPORT DEBT AND, UH, YOU KNOW, I'VE ALWAYS RECOGNIZED THE AIRPORT IS KIND OF AN ENTERPRISE FUND AND I'VE ALWAYS FELT PRETTY COMFORTABLE. 
          'CAUSE THE AIRPORT ALWAYS SEEMS TO PAY FOR ITSELF. 
          UH, AND I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO TAKE NOTE OF THAT. 
          REALLY, THERE'S NO TAX OBLIGATION TO THE TAXPAYERS FOR WHAT GOES ON AT THE AIRPORT. 
          THAT'S ALL TAKEN CARE OF FROM THE AIRPORT, ITS OWN GENERATED REVENUE, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THAT, THAT WAS IT. 
          I WANTED TO GO OVER A COUPLE OF THINGS WITH PUBLIC WORKS ON ITEM NUMBER FOUR. 
          THANKS ROSIE. 
          UM, WHICH ITEMS AND WHAT PERCENT, UH, ON SLIDE NUMBER FOUR WILL BE INCLUDED IN OUR FIVE YEAR I M P? OKAY. 
          IN OTHER WORDS, UH, THE STREET MAINTENANCE, IS ALL OF THAT GONNA BE IDENTIFIED IN OUR COUNCIL IPS FOR A FIVE YEAR PLAN FOR THIS YEAR? YEAH. 
          COUNCILMAN, WE HAVE FIVE YEARS I M P. 
          RIGHT? EVERY SUMMER, WHICH IS THIS TIME, ANTHONY AND HIS TEAM MEETS WITH EACH COUNCIL PERSON TO UPDATE THAT LIST FOR FOLLOWING YEAR. 
          MOST OF THE TIME, 90, 95% STAY AS IS. 
          SOME MINOR CHANGES WE DID FOR THIS SUMMER ALREADY. 
          WE ARE GOING TO INCLUDE THOSE PART OF THE BUDGET APPROVAL, WHICH IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEPTEMBER. 
          UM, I SEE THAT. 
          SO EVERYTHING THAT'S UP THERE RIGHT NOW, UH, STREET MAINTENANCE, SIDEWALKS, PAVEMENT MARKINGS, UH, THOSE ARE ALL IN THE I M P EVERY, EVERY YEAR FOR US TO LOOK AT WITHIN OUR DISTRICT. 
          IS THAT RIGHT? ON A PAYMENT MARKING, WE BASICALLY DO THROUGHOUT THE CITY, AS I MENTIONED, WE ARE GOING TO DO THREE YEARS CYCLE FOR ALL OF THE CITY ROADWAY. 
          OKAY. 
          SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, COUNCILMAN PAVEMENT MARKINGS ARE INCLUDED IN THE I M P. 
          YEAH, A HUNDRED PERCENT. 
          YEAH. 
          SO YOU'LL SEE THE 11.3 MILLION RIGHT. 
          BROKEN OUT BY DISTRICT RIGHT NOW. 
          WHAT ISN'T IN THERE THOUGH USUALLY ARE THINGS LIKE WARRANTED TRAFFIC SIGNALS OR ALLEY MAINTENANCE. 
          BUT SINCE WE'RE DEDICATING SOME FUNDING FOR ALLEY MAINTENANCE, MIGHT THAT NOW GET INCLUDED IN OUR I M P FOR US TO REVIEW. 
          SO THE NON-SERVICE ALLEY MAINTENANCE RIGHT, IS INCLUDED IN YOUR I M P. 
          OKAY. 
          THE SERVICE ALLEY MAINTENANCE IS NOT, WE HAVE A, A MAINTENANCE PLAN FOR THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, THE RADAR FEED WRAP FEEDBACK SIGNS THAT A COUPLE OF US HAVE ALLUDED TO. 
          I UNDERSTAND THAT THAT $700,000 IS GOING TO PAY FOR 100 RADAR FEEDBACK SIGNS AROUND THE CITY. 
          UH, DOES THAT MEAN THAT EACH COUNCIL DISTRICT WILL GET 10 RADAR FEEDBACK SIGNS WITHIN ITS DISTRICT? OUR CLAN IS NOT REALLY DIVIDED EQUALLY. 
          FIRST OF ALL, WE ARE LOOKING UP TO 100 'CAUSE WE REALLY HAVEN'T HIRED THE CONTRACTOR 
          [02:00:01]
TO BUY THOSE AND INSTALL FOR US. 
          OUR PLAN WAS NOT TO DIVIDE UNDER BY 10. 
          WE ARE REALLY GOING TO LOOK FOR THE HISTORY OF SPEEDING, HISTORY OF ACCIDENT, HIGH TRAVEL ROADWAY, OF COURSE 3 1 1 CAR AND COUNCIL REQUEST. 
          WELL, I CAN GIVE YOU COUNCIL INPUT FOR 10 OR 12 IN MY DISTRICT PRETTY EASILY. 
          SO I, YEAH, I REALLY HOPE THAT THE COUNCIL HAS A LOT OF INPUT INTO WHERE THOSE GO. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, NOTHING AGAINST ANY OF THE REST OF YOU, BUT I DON'T WANNA SEE Y'ALL GET 95 OF 'EM IN MY DISTRICT. 
          GET ONE OR TWO OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          SO ANYWAY, SECOND. 
          JUST WANTED TO CHECK ON THAT. 
          , STAY OUT OF THIS. 
          YOU'LL GET YOUR TURN. 
          . 
          UM, WAS THERE, WAS THERE ANYTHING GIVEN IN THE WAY OF CONSIDERATION WHEN WE TALK ABOUT PAVEMENT MARKINGS, UH, OTHER THAN A THREE YEAR REPAINTING, IS THERE ANY, UH, EFFORT TO THINK ABOUT JUST CLEANING SOME OF THOSE AS NEEDED SO THAT, YOU KNOW, NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR MAY NOT WEAR OFF THE PAINT, BUT IT COVERS IT WITH TIRE MARKS AND THINGS LIKE THAT? UH, IT'S HARD TO READ. 
          SO ARE WE LOOKING AT SIMPLE, GO OUT AND CLEAN THEM UP SO THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO REPAINT 'EM EVERY THREE YEARS? THOUSAND MAN CLEANING AND PRESSURE WASHING IS GOING TO BE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN RE STRIPING. 
          RIGHT? AND ALSO WE REALLY HAVE TO CERTAIN AREA WE CAN, WE HAVE TO VACUUM THAT WATER IS BY CREATING PRESSURE WASHING THOSE SIGN. 
          I THINK IT'S MORE, LESS EXPENSIVE TO REALLY REPAINT IT, THERMOPLASTIC. 
          'CAUSE MANY TIME THEY ARE NOT JUST DIRTY, THEY'RE ALSO CRACKS. 
          WELL, HOW DO WE ASSESS WHICH ONES NEED IT THE MOST? SHOULD WE TELL YOU IN OUR DISTRICT? YOU, YOU, YOU CAN, BUT WE ARE PLANNING TO DO EVERY ONE OF THOSE ONES EVERY THREE YEARS. 
          ARE YOU GONNA EVALUATE WHICH ONES NEED IT THE MOST THIS YEAR? WE ARE. 
          OKAY. 
          I I THINK COUNCILMAN WHAT THEY'RE GONNA DO IS, UM, LOOK AT THE ONES THAT ARE AT THE FOUR AND FIVE YEAR MARK ON OUR CURRENT CYCLE AND PRIORITIZE THAT AS A GROUP. 
          I, I'LL ALSO ADD, AND I DON'T WANT TO CONTRADICT MY, MY CITY ENGINEER, BUT IT IS A CONVERSATION ABOUT WHEN CAN WE PRESSURE WASH, UM, UM, OR CLEAN TO EXTEND THE LIFE. 
          AND I THINK WE NEED TO PROBABLY LOOK A LITTLE BIT MORE TO THAT. 
          WE DON'T, I I, I DON'T, I DON'T THINK WE CAN DO THAT CITYWIDE, BUT THERE MAY BE SOME LOGICAL PLACES WHERE WE CAN, UH, BRIGHTEN THINGS UP A LITTLE BIT. 
          THE DAY BEFORE A RAINSTORM WOULD BE A GOOD TIME AND WASH IT AWAY ANYWAY. 
          UM, NOW WHERE IN THIS LIST IS THERE, UH, TRAFFIC MITIGATION. 
          WHERE DO WE FIND SPEED HUMPS OR FLASHING STOP SIGNS OR SIGNS LIKE DEER CROSSING OR CHILDREN AT PLAY OR ET CETERA? WHERE IS THAT? SOMEWHERE IN THIS LIST HERE. 
          COUNCILMAN. 
          THE, THE TRAFFIC CALMING. 
          THERE'S A MILLION DOLLARS INCLUDED IN THE GENERAL FUND PUBLIC WORKS FOR TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES. 
          THAT'S NOT INCLUDED IN THIS LIST, BUT IT IS PART OF THE GENERAL FUND, A PART OF THEIR OPERATING BUDGET. 
          BUT IT'S $1 MILLION. 
          CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          ONCE, ANOTHER THING IS THAT I THINK EACH COUNCIL DISTRICT, UH, IS PROPOSED TO GET, UH, $100,000, OH, EXCUSE ME, $1 MILLION TO GO AHEAD AND DO INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          COULD THAT MONEY BE USED FOR WHAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT, UM, PUTTING UP SIGNS OR SPEED HUMPS OR THINGS LIKE THAT? YES. 
          OKAY. 
          AS LONG AS IT'S OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND. 
          THANK YOU COUNCILMAN. 
          NO, THAT, THAT'S FOR CAPITAL INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          THAT'S DEBT, ISSUANT OF MONEY, UH, FOR THE MILLION DOLLARS. 
          I, I WILL ADD THAT, THAT THE RADAR FEEDBACK SIGNS HISTORICALLY HAVE BEEN FUNDED AS ONE-OFFS THROUGH EITHER YOUR, UH, NAMP BUDGETS, INDIVIDUAL NAMP BUDGETS. 
          THEY'RE NOT PART OF OUR USUAL STOCKPILE OF SIGNS. 
          AND SO THE, THERE WAS A LOT OF CONVERSATION IN APRIL DURING THE GOAL SETTING SESSION ABOUT SPEEDING NEIGHBORHOOD SPEEDING, SPEEDING ON MAJOR CORRIDORS. 
          THE IDEA IS THAT WE WILL START TO USE, AND I DON'T, CERTAINLY A LOT OF FEEDBACK NEEDED AND, AND WHERE THEY GO, BUT WE'LL START USING THOSE AS OUR NORMAL REGULAR INVENTORY WHERE NEEDED AND, AND FRANKLY RELIEVE COUNCIL OFFICES FROM HAVING TO MAKE THAT CONSIDERATION. 
          'CAUSE 'CAUSE IN THE PAST, THAT'S THE ONLY WAY WE'VE IMPLEMENTED THEM. 
          AND, AND, AND WE THINK THAT BASED ON PUBLIC SAFETY, TRANSPORTATION AND FEEDBACK FROM THE COUNCIL AND NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WE HAD TO START USING MORE OF THOSE. 
          AND I CAN ALMOST MAKE AN ARGUMENT DOWN THE ROAD OF, OF USING THE BLINKING, UH, STOP SIGNS AS WELL AT SOME POINT. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER COURAGE. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER H THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          UM, I'LL START WITH, UH, TROY. 
          [02:05:02]
UM, THANK YOU FOR, WELL, THANKS EVERYBODY. 
          TROY, ZI, ROD, AND JESUS FOR THE PRESENTATION. 
          TROY, UH, JUST HIGH FIVE. 
          GREAT PRESENTATION. 
          I THINK, UH, THE REPORT IS FANTASTIC. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND YOUR TEAM AND BEN. 
          UM, AND THEN OF COURSE, THE COUNCIL FOR DECISIONS THAT WE MADE, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE THIS IS A, A CITYWIDE EFFORT CITY WITH A SMALL C. 
          SO, UM, TO HAVE THAT GREAT RATING IS FANTASTIC. 
          DID YOU SAY THAT WE'RE THE ONLY, TELL ME AGAIN. 
          THE TOP 10 CITY, WHEN YOU LOOK AT IN TERMS OF POPULATION, WHEN YOU LOOK ACROSS THE LARGEST 10 CITIES IN THE NATION AND LOOKING PRIMARILY AT MOODY'S, WE'RE THE ONLY ONE WITH AAA RATING FOR MOODY'S. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THAT'S SOMETHING, I MEAN, THAT'S, THAT'S MORE DIFFICULT TO DO WHEN YOU HAVE A, A CITY, A BIGGER CITY, IT SEEMS. UM, AND SO, AND YOUR RATINGS, THE RATINGS IMPACT SO MUCH OF WHAT WE DO AND, UM, DECISIONS AND HOW WE MAKE THEM. 
          SO I APPRECIATE YOU. 
          SO THAT WAS IT. 
          IT WAS JUST A QUICK SHOUT OUT. 
          APPRECIATE YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND, AND BACK OVER TO RAZZIE. 
          I THINK MOST OF MY QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED, UM, FOR THE PAVEMENT MARKING PROGRAM, ALTHOUGH I, I'M NOT SURE IF YOU ANSWERED THIS, IS THERE SORT OF HOW YOU DETERMINE WHICH ONES GET FIRST? UH, BUT I THINK WHAT YOU SAID, ERIC, ABOUT LOOKING AT THE, THE ONES AT THE, TOWARDS THE END OF THE CYCLE, YOU'RE DOING THOSE FIRST. 
          THAT'S ACCURATE. 
          AND ALSO WHEN WE GO TO NEIGHBORHOOD TO ENSURE WE GET MORE FOR OUR MONEY MM-HMM. 
          , WE REALLY DO THE ENTIRE AREA RATHER THAN JUST DOING ONE ROADWAY AND WALKING AWAY AND DOING SOMEPLACE ELSE. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN THE NEW CYCLE BEING THREE YEARS, DID YOU SAY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE ALL THE, ALL THE PAVEMENT MARKINGS WILL BE REDONE WITHIN THREE YEARS, CORRECT? IN EVERY DISTRICT? CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          IN ENTIRE CITY. 
          THAT'S VERY AMBITIOUS. 
          I MEAN, THAT'S, UM, I THINK THAT'LL BE GREAT. 
          UM, IS THAT, DOES THAT INCLUDE, UH, MARKINGS ON SPEED BUMPS? IT'LL BE INCLUDE CROSSWALKS, SPEED, HUMPS, LONG LANE. 
          OKAY. 
          ANY PLACE WE HAVE A MARKING, WE WILL REDO THOSE. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S WHAT I HEAR THE MOST IS JUST THE SPEED HUMP MARKINGS. 
          HOW THEY, WHEN THEY FADE OVER TIME, YOU CAN'T SEE THEM COMING AND THEN CORRECT. 
          MY ANSWER IS ALWAYS SLOW DOWN. 
          BUT, YOU KNOW, JUST SAYING, UM, I, ONE TIME I, UH, NOT THAT LONG AGO, I SAT IN WITH THE CITY, THE CITY EMPLOYEES THAT WERE DOING THE, THE, THE RES STRIPING. 
          AND IT'S HARDER THAN IT LOOKS. 
          I MEAN, IT WAS HARD WORK AND ESPECIALLY IN THIS HEAT. 
          SO THANKS OF COURSE TO OUR CITY EMPLOYEES THAT DO THAT WORK. 
          UM, AND THEY, IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY'RE GONNA BE VERY BUSY IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS. 
          THANK YOU ZY. 
          UM, ROD, IT'S, UH, I THINK A LOT OF MY QUESTIONS WERE ALREADY ASKED, SO I I JUST REALLY APPRECIATE YOU CALLING IT THE TIMEOUT LIST FOR THE CONTRACTORS. 
          I'VE NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE AND I THINK I'M GONNA START USING THAT. 
          I THINK THAT'S REALLY HELPFUL. 
          UM, THANKFUL THAT, ALSO THANKFUL THE CITY STAFF THAT THAT WAS IMPLEMENTED SO QUICKLY AND IT'S ALREADY MAKING A DIFFERENCE. 
          AND I'VE HEARD A LOT OF GOOD, UM, GOOD REPORTS BACK FROM THE CONTRACTING COMMUNITY ABOUT THE RESPONSIBLE BIDDER, UH, ORDINANCE. 
          SO THANK YOU GUYS FOR THAT. 
          COUN COUNCILWOMAN. 
          WE HAVE USED THAT ORDINANCE ALREADY ON ONE OF THE CONTRACTORS. 
          FANTASTIC. 
          SO, UH, AND ALSO WE NEED TO START TALKING ABOUT MOVING IT INTO DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS AND HOW WE'RE FIGURING OUT HOW TO APPLY THAT STANDARD TO DIFFERENT AREAS. 
          BUT, UM, BUT IT'S A GREAT START. 
          SO I'M, I'M GRATEFUL. 
          UM, AND THEN, UH, JESUS, UH, TO, TO, UM, TO HELP THE, THE MAYOR OUT HERE. 
          I THINK HE APPRECIATES YOU ALL EQUALLY. 
          , I THINK, I THINK THAT, UH, WE'RE JUST REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE AIRPORT RIGHT NOW. 
          UM, THE, THE, WE'RE ALREADY DOING GREAT THINGS AT THE AIRPORT, BUT I FEEL LIKE THERE'S KIND OF THIS ENERGY, COLLECTIVE ENERGY, AND WE'RE ON THE PRECIPICE OF EVEN MORE GREATNESS WITH THE, OUR AIRPORT, WHICH OF COURSE IMPACTS OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY. 
          I KEEP SAYING THAT THE AIRPORT IS THE RISING TIDE THAT LIFTS ALL BOATS IN THIS COMMUNITY, BUSINESSES, OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS, UM, ALIKE. 
          SO I THINK THAT'S, IT'S REALLY EXCITING TO HEAR ALL, ALL THE, ALL EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON THERE. 
          I, UM, I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT PARKING OPTIMIZATION. 
          CAN YOU GO A LITTLE MORE INTO THAT? I CAN, ONE OF THE SLIDES HAD PARKING OPTIMIZATION AS A BULLET. 
          I DO WANT TO BE CAREFUL AND I ASK TROY TO TELL ME TO STOP. 
          UH, IT, IT IS CURRENTLY UNDER SOLICITATION. 
          YOU CAN TALK ABOUT THE SCOPE. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO FROM A SCOPE PERSPECTIVE FOR PARKING OPTIMIZATION, UM, WE'RE LOOKING AT, UH, DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES, WHETHER IT BE YIELD MANAGEMENT ON HOW, UH, DIFFERENT PRICING STRATEGIES AS PEOPLE ARE COMING TO THE AIRPORT. 
          AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, WE'RE CLOSING THE AIRPORT PARKING GARAGES ON A DAILY BASIS DURING PEAK PERIODS. 
          UM, WE, WE, WE HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT THE FUTURE AND THE AVAILABILITY OF PARKING, UH, AS PEOPLE ARE WANTING TO NOW UTILIZE THE AIRPORT. 
          SO THE PARKING OPTIMIZATION EFFORT IS A SOLICITATION THAT WENT OUT. 
          WE HAD A CONSULTANT THAT CAME IN AND, UH, DRAFTED THE PARKING OPTIMIZATION SOLICITATION. 
          THE SPECIFIC SCOPE IS TO LOOK AT OUR OVERALL OPERATION, WHETHER IT'S EQUIPMENT, TECHNOLOGIES, THE SPEED OF THROUGHPUT FOR PEOPLE TO ENTER AND EXIT OUT OF THE PARKING GARAGES, AND THEN THE UTILIZATION OF LONG-TERM, UH, SURFACE SLOTS THAT WE HAVE AS WELL. 
          SO A NUMBER OF THOSE, UH, EFFORTS ARE WHAT'S BEING LOOKED 
          [02:10:01]
AT. 
          UH, THERE'S A TEAM THAT'S ASSEMBLED, UH, THAT WILL BE REVIEWING THAT SOLICITATION AND WE WILL BE BRINGING IT TO, TO COUNCIL FOR A, A POSTS SOLICITATION. 
          HOW IS THAT GONNA AFFECT, UH, CITY EMPLOYEES? IT, IT, IT WILL NOT AFFECT ANY CITY EMPLOYEES AS WHEN WE WENT DOWN THIS ROAD AND WE BROUGHT IT TO YOU ALL, I FORGET EXACTLY WHAT, UH, B SESSION IT WAS AND WE PRESENTED IT TO YOU ALL. 
          OKAY. 
          NO, CITY EMPLOYEES WILL LOSE THEIR JOBS. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          THAT WAS A, THAT WAS A BIG PIECE OF THAT B SESSION. 
          I GUESS WE HAD IT, UM, LIKE LAST DECEMBER. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, AND, AND IF THERE ARE IMPACTED JOBS WE HAVE, UM, WE, WE EMPLOY 13 OVER 13,000 PEOPLE AND THERE ARE 50 OR 60 OR SO MAKING SURE WE'RE COMMUNICATING WITH THEM. 
          BUT IT, IT IS AN ATTEMPT TO IMPROVE OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MODERNIZE OUR PARKING OP UH, OPERATIONS OUT THERE. 
          BUT, UH, WE WILL NOT IMPACT ANY EMPLOYEE. 
          OKAY. 
          WONDERFUL. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND I THINK, UM, I THINK THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN IT. 
          OH, I DO HAVE JUST A QUICK, I'M JUST SORT OF CURIOUS. 
          ON SLIDE 16, UH, RAZZI, YOU TALK ABOUT UNDERGROUND, I THINK IT WAS UNDERGROUND PIPE TELEVISING. 
          IS THAT, WHAT IS THAT? YEAH, WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT UNDERGROUND PIPE AND WE DON'T KNOW MATERIAL OF ALL OF THOSE PIPE. 
          SOME IS CONCRETE, SOME IS CORRUGATED. 
          WE TELEVISED THOSE AND IDENTIFY WHICH ONE IS CORRUGATED AND ALSO WHAT'S THE CONDITION OF THOSE. 
          EVERY YEAR OR SO, WE HAVE SOME SINKHOLE IS DEVELOPED IN THE OUR ROADWAY AND WE WANNA REALLY TAKE CARE OF THOSE, HAVE A PLAN TO TAKE CARE OF THOSE SINKHOLE BEFORE IT HAPPENS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THAT'S EXCITING. 
          I KNOW, UM, IT WAS A FEW YEARS AGO, I THINK IT WAS IN DISTRICT FIVE THAT, UH, SHE WAS A DEPUTY SHERIFF. 
          RIGHT? SHE WAS, UM, KILLED IN THAT SINKHOLE. 
          SO TRYING TO, I I THINK THERE IT WAS A SAWS. 
          YEAH, IT WAS SAWS PIPE. 
          WE HAD ONE IN DISTRICT THREE. 
          OKAY. 
          HERE LAST WEEK. 
          YEAH. 
          OZZY WEEK. 
          A CORRUGATED PIPE. 
          UH, SMALL SINKHOLE THAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED, SO OKAY. 
          IT'S TELEVISED PROACTIVELY REPLACING THAT. 
          WELL, YEAH. 
          KEYWORD BEING PROACTIVE AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. 
          UM, DO WE, DO WE WORK WITH SAS ON THAT? NO. 
          MOST OF THE TIMES OUR SYSTEM. 
          IT'S OUR SYSTEM. 
          GOT IT. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          MM-HMM. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER KEO. 
          HDA. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER ALTO. 
          THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          UM, MOST OF MY COMMENTS ARE FOR PUBLIC WORKS. 
          UM, FIRST AND FOREMOST, I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT DASHBOARD AND I KNOW, I THINK I CAN SPEAK FOR ALL OF US. 
          I'M SURE WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE INPUT. 
          UM, AND, AND IF WE'RE, WE ARE GONNA MAKE IT PUBLIC FACING TO OUR RESIDENTS, WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT IT'S READABLE AND DIGESTIBLE TO THE AVERAGE CITIZEN. 
          UH, LIKE COUN COUNCILMAN CORE, UH, COUNCILWOMAN CORE WAS SAYING, UM, WHEN CAN WE EXPECT A PREVIEW OF THAT DASHBOARD LATE THIS YEAR? WE ARE WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH C N E AND DEVELOPING THAT. 
          WE HAVE A CONSULTING IS HELPING US. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , OUR INTENTION IS TO HAVE ALL OF THE INFORMATION WE NEED TO PUT THERE, BUT MAKE AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE FOR COMMUNITY CAN EASILY READ AND UNDERSTAND. 
          SO LIKE, UM, OCTOBER, NO MORE LIKE DECEMBER END OF YEAR. 
          AND WE'LL CERTAINLY BRING THAT BACK, UH, TO THE COUNCIL FOR YOU GUYS TO TAKE A LOOK AT AND GIVE US YOUR FEEDBACK. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, ON THE NON, OKAY, SO IT'S DECEMBER FOR THE DASHBOARD. 
          RIGHT. 
          AWESOME. 
          WE ALL HEARD THAT  , THE, FOR THE NON-SERVICE ALLEY MAINTENANCE, UM, I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT APPLICATIONS ARE USED FOR THE NON-SERVICE ALLEY MAINTENANCE. 
          UM, AND THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE IN DISTRICT SEVEN, PREVIOUS ALLEY MAINTENANCE WAS DONE. 
          UM, WE HEARD FROM A COUPLE, COUPLE DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS ON THIS AND THEY WERE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE WORK AND IT ACTUALLY ENDED UP CAUSING MORE DRAINAGE ISSUES, YOU KNOW, AND WATER GOING INTO THEIR BACKYARDS. 
          SO I, I WAS JUST CURIOUS WHAT, HOW WE ASSESSED WHAT MOST OF THE TIME THESE NON-SERVICE CELL, ESPECIALLY THE ONES THEY GRID, THAT THE D N F, THEY HAVE A DRAINAGE ISSUE OVERGROWTH, AND WE GO OVER THEIR REMOVAL OF THE DEBRIS AND CREATE THE ROADWAY IS NOT REALLY INTENDED TO BE PAVED ROADWAY BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY NON-SERVICE ALLEY IS NOT USED BY SOLID WASTE FOR TRASH COLLECTION. 
          AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE END UP DOING OVER THERE. 
          MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T CAUSE FLOODING FOR AG GSM PROPERTY. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          AND I THINK, I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE, WE'VE BEEN SEEING WITH SOME OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          SO I KNOW THAT WE'RE GONNA DEDICATE 3.9 MILLION TO THIS OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS. 
          SO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ENSURING THAT THE WORK WE'RE DOING IS, IS LONG TERM AND THAT WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE TO GO BACK AND REWORK SOME OF THIS 'CAUSE IT IS CAUSING SOME DRAINAGE ISSUES FOR, FOR SOME RESIDENTS. 
          [02:15:01]
O OF COURSE, WE ARE ALSO LOOKING TO CREATE A PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE IF WE DO IT SOME EARLY NEXT YEAR, WE STILL HAVE TO MAINTAIN THOSE. 
          WE JUST CANNOT DO AND WALK AWAY. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          AND, AND WE CAN WORK WITH YOU ALL ON SOME OF THE, THE RESIDENTS WHO HAD SPECIFIC FEEDBACK ON THE, UM, BASICALLY THE ALLEY MAINTENANCE WORK, CAUSING THEM SOME NEGATIVE IMPACTS. 
          YEAH. 
          I'D LIKE TO GO WITH THE LOCATION AND THE ALLEYS AND, UM, THAT'D BE HELPFUL FOR US. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, FOR THE PAVEMENT MARKINGS PROGRAM, IS THERE A SEPARATE CATEGORY FOR SCHOOL ZONE MARKINGS? I THINK ALL OF THE PAVEMENT MARKING, WHEN WE GO TO THE, ANY ROADWAY, WE UPGRADE EVERY ONE OF THEM. 
          SCHOOL ZONING STRIPING ON THE ROADWAY AND ANY OTHER. 
          OKAY. 
          I'M WONDERING WHAT WE COULD DO FOR MAYBE A FASTER CYCLE FOR PAVEMENT MARKINGS NEAR OUR SCHOOLS. 
          BECAUSE WE, IN DISTRICT SEVEN, WE HAVE SEVERAL SCHOOLS WITH AGED PAVEMENT MARKINGS AND WE'VE BEEN HEARING ABOUT THAT A LOT, UM, UH, SPECIFICALLY AROUND MARSHALL HIGH SCHOOL AND, AND N MIDDLE SCHOOL. 
          UH, AND SO, YOU KNOW, I KNOW EVERYONE'S GETTING READY FOR THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR AND THEY JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE STAY SAFE GOING THROUGH AND PRE SCHOOL. 
          IF YOU CAN PROVIDE US THOSE LISTS, WE TAKE A LOOK ABSOLUTELY ON THE SIDEWALK COORDINATION, UM, SIDEWALK PROGRAM COORDINATION. 
          UM, I DEFINITELY AM APPRECIATIVE OF THE DIRECTION WE'RE GOING TO BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW WE CAN PRIORITIZE THE LIMITED SIDEWALK FUNDING. 
          OBVIOUSLY DISTRICT SEVEN HAS THE SECOND HIGHEST SIDEWALK GAP MILEAGE IN THE CITY. 
          UM, I'D LIKE TO REQUEST THAT THE CONDITION ASSESSMENT EXTEND TO SOME OF OUR MOST NEEDED AREAS IN DISTRICT SEVEN IF THEY'RE NOT, UH, INCLUDED ALREADY. 
          WE GET A LOT OF REQUESTS NEAR THE WOODLAWN LAKE AREA THAT THE JEFFERSON MONTICELLO, THE JEFFERSON AREA, AND ALSO THE SUNSHINE ESTATES NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          UM, AND SO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THOSE AREAS ARE REPRESENTED FOR, FOR THAT. 
          I DO ALSO WANNA, UM, ECHO COUNCILMAN CO'S COMMENTS ABOUT BEING THERE FOR SIDEWALK ASSESSMENTS. 
          I DON'T, I KNOW THAT IS A LOT OF COORDINATION. 
          I DON'T THINK WE HAVE TO BE THERE FOR ALL OF 'EM, BUT FOR SOME OF 'EM WHERE WE ARE HEARING A LOT OF RESIDENT CO COMPLAINTS, WE'D LOVE TO TAG ALONG AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE, WE'RE, UM, ADDRESSING THOSE ACCORDINGLY. 
          COUNCILWOMAN FOR PHASE ONE, WHICH IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT YEAR, COUNCIL, YOUR DISTRICT IS GOING TO HAVE 47 MILES OF THE ASSESSMENT ON YOUR CO YOUR COUNCIL DISTRICT. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THE REMAINING WILL BE DONE FOLLOWING YEAR. 
          OKAY. 
          AND I'D LIKE LOVE TO DIG IN TO SEE EXACTLY WHERE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ADDRESSING THE AREAS THAT WE HEAR ABOUT IT THE MOST. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ON THE ACCESSIBLE PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS GRANT, UM, I SAW THAT 82 LOCATIONS WERE IDENTIFIED FOR IMPROVEMENT. 
          CAN YOU ALL SHARE WHAT CRITERIA WAS USED TO DETERMINE THOSE LOCATIONS? I, WE CAN MM-HMM. 
          , I GET YOU THOSE. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, LASTLY, I DID JUST WANNA THANK YOU ALL FOR PUTTING THIS INFORMATION TOGETHER. 
          I KNOW IT'S A LOT, IT'S A HEAVY LIFT, SO THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL Y'ALL'S WORK. 
          YOU ALL HAVE HEARD ME SAY THAT DISTRICT SEVEN HAS SOME OF THE HIGHEST INFRASTRUCTURAL NEEDS AND THERE'S CHALLENGES CONFRONTING ALL OF US. 
          SO, ESPECIALLY I WOULD SAY CHALLENGES INSIDE LOOP FOUR 10. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR THE INVESTMENT. 
          UM, AND IT, IT IS AN INTERESTING, I MEAN, IT'S A FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCE, RATHER, YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE THERE'S AREAS IN IN THE DISTRICT THAT HAVE NOT SEEN IMPROVEMENTS IN DECADES WHILE OTHER AREAS HAVE SEEN IMPROVEMENTS MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. 
          SO TRYING TO BALANCE THAT OUT AND MAKING SURE THAT SOME OF OUR INSIDE THE LOOP, UH, AREAS CAN ALSO GET INVESTMENT IS, WILL BE EXTREMELY HELPFUL. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN TALKING TO SEVERAL RESIDENTS ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL AND NOW IN OFFICE AND, YOU KNOW, THEY DO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT SOME OF THE QUALITY OF WORK AND THE MISSTEPS OF COMMUNICATION. 
          SO I JUST URGE Y'ALL TO PARTNER WITH US. 
          I THINK WITH ALL OF OUR OFFICES AND COMMUNICATING WHAT WORK'S BEING DONE AHEAD OF TIME, IT SOUNDS LIKE Y'ALL WERE GONNA DO THAT. 
          UH, WHAT, WHAT WORKS GONNA BE DONE AHEAD OF TIME? UM, BECAUSE WE CAN HELP ECHO THOSE MESSAGES AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON SO THAT THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT LEAVING WITH MORE QUESTIONS. 
          AND THEN OF COURSE, WE ALL FEEL THE HEAT WHEN THERE IS QUESTIONS OR SOMETHING IS, IS DONE WRONG, COUNCILWOMAN, REGARDING THE FUNDING FOR STREET, YOU GET A HUNDRED PERCENT BASED ON CONDITION. 
          IF YOUR NETWORKING COUNCIL DISTRICT SEVEN IS PER CONDITION, YOU GET MORE MONEY. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S, FOR US, THAT'S ALMOST EQUITY FOR SIDEWALK. 
          YOU GET 50% BASED ON EQUITY ATLAS AND THE REMAINING 50% BASED ON GAP. 
          IF YOU HAVE MORE GAP MM-HMM. 
           IN YOUR DISTRICT, YOU GET MORE MONEY. 
          OKAY. 
          AND SAME THING ON THE REPAIR, 50% 
          [02:20:01]
ON EQUITY ATLAS AND 50% BASED ON DISTRESS MILE. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW. 
          THANK YOU. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          UM, BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, OTHER THAN THAT I'M EXCITED TO CONTINUE PARTNERING WITH PUBLIC WORKS TO BRING THESE, UH, MUCH NEEDED PROJECTS TO DISTRICT SEVEN. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR ALL Y'ALL'S WORK. 
          UM, AND THEN ON THE AIRPORT, UH, PRIOR TO SERVING ON COUNCIL, I WAS THE MAYOR'S APPOINTEE ON THE AIRPORT SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE. 
          AND SO NO QUESTIONS OTHER THAN, I'M JUST SO EXCITED TO SEE TIMELINES AND THINGS MOVING FORWARD. 
          SO THANKS FOR ALL Y'ALL. 
          IT'S GREAT WORK ON THAT. 
          IT'S, IT'S REALLY EXCITING. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH, COUNCILWOMAN. 
          YEP. 
          THANKS. 
          THAT'S ALL. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCILMAN BURRELL. 
          DETE GTO, COUNCIL MEMBER OF AGRON. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          UM, I, I GUESS I'LL START WITH TROY. 
          AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, W WE SAY THIS JUST HOW IMPORTANT THIS BOND IS, THAT THIS IS PEOPLE NOT JUST DOLLAR FIGURES. 
          AND I DO WANNA ECHO, UH, COUNCILMAN MCKEE RODRIGUEZ'S FOCUS ON EQUITY, BUT, UM, THE PAGES ON CURRENT BOND RATINGS AND THEN THREE AND FOUR, WHAT I'M SEEING IS THERE IS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT IN A SERIES OF, UM, CATEGORIES. 
          AND WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE, AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, THIS IS JUST FOR YOU TO TAKE BACK AND, AND, UH, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS WHERE IS THAT, WHERE'S THAT EASIEST PATHWAY WHERE WE CAN GO FROM UPPER GRADE, HIGH GRADE, LOW GRADE, AND MOVE UP? 'CAUSE I'D LIKE TO SEE US CONTINUE TO DO THAT. 
          UM, I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK YOU DO. 
          I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT OUR FINANCIAL POLICIES MOVING FORWARD TO MAKE SURE THAT WE UNDERSTAND THE TRENDS AND THEN HOW, HOW MOODY AND FITCH AND SS AND P ARE, UM, ARE WORKING ON THEIR BO UH, ON THEIR RATINGS AS WE MOVE FORWARD. 
          SO, UH, THANK YOU FOR THE WORK. 
          UH, AND JUST IF I COULD, WE COULD GET AN IDEA, IF YOU COULD CATEGORIZE, UH, THESE IN TERMS OF WHAT'S A HIGH GRADE, LIKE AIRPORT REVENUE, BONDS IS A UPPER, UH, UPPER GRADE, HOW COULD WE GET THAT TO A HIGH GRADE, THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          CAN, CAN WE WORK ON THAT AND GET, UH, SOME INFORMATION ON THAT? TROY? UM, YES MA'AM. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, AND THEN HOPEFULLY IF WE NEED TO, WE CAN ADDRESS IT IN AUDIT. 
          THE ONE THING I DO WANNA SEE IS WITH THIS BUDGET AND AS WE MEET, MOVE FORWARD, THAT MORE OF OUR CONTRACTS AND MORE OF OUR, OUR, UM, PROJECTS AND STATE IN, UM, THE CITY AND THAT WE DON'T HAVE THAT TIMEOUT LIST CONTINUE TO GROW. 
          SO THANK YOU. 
          THAT, THAT'S IT FOR YOU, TROY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          NEXT I'LL START WITH, UM, JESUS, UH, JOB WELL DONE. 
          UM, I COULD JUST GO, I COULD HEAR YOU GO ON AND ON FOR DAYS ABOUT STENSON AND THE WORK THAT'S HAPPENING THERE. 
          AND I REALLY APPRECIATE, UM, JUST HOW YOU'RE TRYING TO INCORPORATE THE COMMUNITY THERE AND UNDERSTAND WHERE IT SITS IN DISTRICT THREE. 
          WE HAVE SEEN SOME IMPROVEMENTS ON STREETS, BUT I WAS REMINDED BY A RESIDENT TO DRIVE THOSE STREETS THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT. 
          AND THAT WAS COUNCILMAN ROCHA GARCIA, THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE STREETS SURROUNDING STINSON TO GET, TO GET TO THE TRAIL, TO GET TO THE AIRPORT AND MAKING SURE THAT WE, WE PRIORITIZE THAT AND, AND THAT WAY IT BECOMES ATTRACTIVE AND WE, AS WE LOOK TO, UH, BUILD BUSINESSES THERE. 
          SO I DON'T WANT, I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE IN COMMUNICATION WITH PUBLIC WORKS ON THAT ISSUE AND THAT WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD ON THAT. 
          AND I THINK THE OTHER QUESTION I HAVE IS, AS WE SEE, UM, THESE DOLLARS COMING DOWN FROM THE FEDERAL LEVEL, IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO, UH, ARE WE TAKING THE RIGHT STEPS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY UNDERSTAND HOW COMMITTED WE ARE TO OUR, OUR AIRPORT AND OUR AIR TRAVEL? IS THERE ANYTHING MORE WE CAN DO? NO, I THINK IT'S A, THE, THE STINSON BEING A, A LITTLE BIT BEING A REGIONAL GA UH, AIRPORT, UM, THE GRANT FUNDING IS, IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY HANDLED. 
          IT'S COORDINATED BETWEEN THE F A A AND TXDOT. 
          SO IT'S A CONSTANT COLLABORATION WITH ALL OF US WORKING. 
          UH, THOSE MATCHES ARE AT 90% VERSUS A 75% THAT YOU WILL SEE FOR AIRPORT IMPROVEMENT, UH, FUNDING OR AIRPORT IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS THAT HAPPEN AT, UH, SAN ANTONIO INTERNATIONAL. 
          UH, WE HAVE A COMPLETE MASTER PLAN AS, AS YOU'RE WELL AWARE OF THE DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVES THAT WE'RE WORKING ON. 
          THE ADDITION OF TAXIWAY ECHO HAS REALLY, YOU KNOW, UM, ALLOWED US TO BEGIN TO GROW, UH, STINSON AND, AND WE'RE FOCUSING ON THAT. 
          YEAH. 
          AND THE, THE OTHER THING I WOULD ADD TO THE COMMUNITY PIECE, 'CAUSE 
          [02:25:01]
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW, UM, UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF KAREN ELLIS AND WHAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO WITH TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMMUNITY, A MOBILE FLIGHT SIMULATOR WAS BUILT BY SOME OF THE YOUTH THERE AT STINSON THAT HAS NOW ATTRACTED THE OPPORTUNITY FOR OVER 6,000 YOUTH IN THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO TO GO THROUGH A FLIGHT SIMULATOR EXERCISE AND UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO FLY A PLANE. 
          YEAH. 
          AND I THANK YOU FOR BRINGING UP THE FLIGHT SIMULATOR BECAUSE I THINK IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY. 
          AND, UH, AGAIN, I WANNA ECHO WHAT, UH, COUNCILMAN R GARCIA SAID IN TERMS OF WHERE THE TECHNOLOGY IS GOING IN TERMS OF THE, THE, UH, THE DIFFERENT PORTS AND UBER, UM, UBER PLANES, UH, THAT WE, WE REMEMBER STINSON AS, AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GROW THERE. 
          SO, UM, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, LIKE COUNCILMAN RUCHA GARCIA STATED THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES, UH, TO, TO BE PART OF THAT LEADING TECHNOLOGY. 
          AND YOU'VE DONE A GREAT JOB, AND I KNOW YOU'RE REALLY BUSY WITH THE, UM, WITH THE, UH, INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, BUT I KNOW YOU HAVE A GREAT TEAM THAT THAT'S GONNA KEEP TRACK OF THAT TOO. 
          SO I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY, RAZZIE, IT'S YOUR TURN. 
          . 
          UM, AND I GUESS LET'S JUST START WITH, UM, THE NEW POSITION. 
          WHAT IS THE POSITION BEING FILLED? WHY AND WHY IS THAT POSITION THE ONE THAT WE NEED? COUNCILWOMAN, THIS IS NOT A NEW POSITION. 
          AS PART OF THIS YEAR'S BUDGET, WE DID A COMPREHENSIVE REORG OF THE PURCHASING DEPARTMENT. 
          SO WE HAD PROCUREMENT, UH, POSITIONS OUT IN THE DEPARTMENTS AS PART OF THIS REORG. 
          WE ARE CENTRALIZING THAT UNDER THE PURCHASING FUND AND UNDER FINANCE. 
          AS PART OF THAT, THERE WERE FIVE POSITIONS THAT DID CONTRACT COMPLIANCE AS PART OF THAT GROUP. 
          THOSE ARE BEING REORGED INTO PUBLIC WORKS. 
          SO THEY'RE NO NEW POSITIONS. 
          IT'S JUST A REORGANIZATION. 
          OKAY. 
          I WAS HOPING YOU WERE GONNA GET A NEW POSITION. 
          I, I WAS HOPING TOO . 
          I WAS LIKE, DARN IT. 
          UM, THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY TOLD US. 
          CONSTABLE MAN . 
          I WAS LIKE, I CAN ALWAYS USE ANOTHER PUBLIC WORKS POSITION. 
          UM, THE, UM, ON ON SLIDE THREE, THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE, THE FUNDS, UH, THERE'S A RE THERE'S A REDUCTION IN GRANTS, BUT THERE IS THE BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE LAW. 
          IT, ARE WE JUST NOT LOOKING INTO THOSE OPPORTUNITIES? OR DID WE APPLY AND WE MISS THOSE GRANTS? ACTUALLY, WE ARE LOOKING VERY ACTIVELY AT 4.8 MILLION FOR, UH, IN COUNCIL DISTRICT TWO FOR RICHMOND ROAD RAILROAD CROSSING ELIMINATION. 
          WE APPLIED FOR, UH, ANOTHER GRANT ON CRE. 
          UNFORTUNATELY WE DID NOT GET THAT ONE. 
          AND RECENTLY WE APPLIED FOR ANOTHER GRANT. 
          WE LOOK FOR EVERY ONE OF THOSE AND IF IT, WE HAVE A GOOD PROJECT, WE APPLY FOR THOSE. 
          FOR THOSE. 
          OKAY. 
          I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CONTINUING TO GET OUR FAIR SHARE THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS PUTTING DOWN BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE NEEDS HERE. 
          AND, UM, AGAIN, THE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS. 
          WE HAD A GREAT, UM, UH, BUDGET TOWN HALL LAST NIGHT. 
          UH, I WANNA THANK LUIS AND ANTHONY THAT WERE THERE AND FOR THEM FOLLOWING UP ON THE QUESTIONS, YOU DID NOT HAVE AS MANY QUESTIONS AS I EXPECTED, BUT YOU DID A GREAT JOB WITH THE ONES THAT YOU DID GET. 
          UM, SO I THINK THE, THE ONE THING IS WE LOOK AT SLIDE FIVE, UH, ON THE STREET NETWORKING CONDITIONS. 
          AND YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR THIS FROM ME. 
          I THINK YOU'VE HEARD IT EVERY BUDGET YEAR. 
          AND, AND I THINK I I, I MENTIONED IF WE COULD HAVE AN F PLUS, UM, BECAUSE , NO, BECAUSE DISTRICT THREE, IF YOU COMBINE THE GRADE F STREETS, THEN IF YOU COMBINED THE, THE UTILITIES THAT WE HAVE UNDERNEATH THOSE STREETS THAT ARE CAUSING THOSE PROBLEMS IN SOME CASES, AND THEN YOU COMBINE THE SIDEWALK GAPS, I THINK YOU WOULD SEE DISTRICT THREE AND OTHER PARTS OF SOUTHERN DISTRICTS MOVE UP IN, IN THAT, IN THAT, UH, IN THAT PERCENTAGE. 
          BECAUSE AS WE LEAVE IT RIGHT NOW, UM, AS I SEE THAT THE, THE F STREET, I KNOW I HAVE THOSE STREETS, I HAVE D STREETS TOO. 
          BUT IF YOU TOOK A D STREET AND YOU ADDED THE SIDEWALK GAP AND YOU ADDED THE FACT THAT IT WAS, IT WAS THE, THE OUTDATED UTILITIES UNDERNEATH THE STREET THAT'S CAUSING SOME OF THE PROBLEMS. I THINK WE WOULD SEE THAT 
          [02:30:01]
SOME OF THESE NEED TO BE, UH, REHABBED SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. 
          SO I, I AM IN AGREEMENT WITH, UH, IF WE ARE GOING TO GET TO EQUITY, IF WE ARE GONNA MOVE THAT NEEDLE, WE NEED TO, TO LOOK AT WHERE WE PRIORITIZE. 
          AND THE THING ABOUT THE SOUTHERN SECTOR AND DISTRICT THREE IN PARTICULAR, AS I MENTIONED WITH JESUS, IS WE HAVE GOT AREAS OF TOWN WHERE INDUSTRY AND GROWTH IS COMING AND WE'RE HAVING TO ADDRESS THE STREETS. 
          YOU HAVE DONE AN PUBLIC WORKS, HAS DONE AN AMAZING JOB WORKING WITH BROOKS ON THOSE STREETS WHERE WE DO RIBBON CUT CUTTINGS FROM STREETS AND PEOPLE CRY. 
          THEY OKAY, I CRY. 
          BUT IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT, BECAUSE THESE ARE STREETS WE HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE WITH THE SIDEWALKS AND THE MARKINGS. 
          SO I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD, WE DO THAT. 
          AND THEN, UM, NOSER, NON-SERVICE ALLEYWAYS. 
          'CAUSE I'M ABOUT TO RUN OUT AND I'VE TOLD THIS TO YOU ERIC, UH, I KNOW NON-SERVICE ALLEYWAYS WHERE WE COULD SELL THAT TO THE RESIDENTS AND I WANT US TO LOOK INTO THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER VIRON. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER CASTILLO. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          THANK, THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          UH, THANK YOU TROY ROZI, UM, ROD AND JESUS FOR THE PRESENTATIONS. 
          I WANTED TO START OFF WITH, UH, TROY, I HAVE MORE OF A COMMENT AND I'D LIKE TO HAVE A, A LARGER BRIEFING. 
          UM, BUT, UM, KENNEDY'S SCHOOL POLICY PUT OUT AN ANALYSIS THAT DEMONSTRATES HOW THINGS LIKE AGING POPULATIONS, UM, ENVIRONMENTALISM IMPACT A CITY'S BOND RATING. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND I, I'D LIKE TO UNDERSTAND WITH THE CURRENT ONES THAT ARE EVALUATING THE CITY, WHAT DOES THAT ANALYSIS LOOK LIKE AND LIKE WHAT PERCENTAGE IS IT PER RATING? UM, AND I UNDERSTAND WE ARE FARING PRETTY WELL, RIGHT? BUT I'D LIKE TO HAVE THAT GENERAL UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THAT IMPACT COULD LOOK LIKE. 
          AND IT ARGUES, RIGHT, THAT IF CITIES DON'T PROACTIVELY WORK TOWARDS REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE FROM FLOODING, THAT IT CAN IMPACT THAT RATING. 
          AND WITH AN UNDERSTANDING THAT, YOU KNOW, THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO IS GOING TO EXPERIENCE AN EXPANDED FLOOD PLAIN MAP, HOW THAT MAY IMPACT OUR FUTURE BOND RATING. 
          WHAT I DO SEE, UH, ASSURANCE IS, IS WITHIN THE PUBLIC WORKS, UM, PRESENTATION THAT WE ARE SEEING DRAINAGE PROJECTS AND PARTICULARLY 17 PROJECTS ON THE HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN. 
          RIGHT? AND I IMAGINE, UM, THAT HELPS MAKE OUR CASE RIGHT? THAT WE ARE TAKING THE INITIATIVE. 
          UM, BUT DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO NO MA'AM. 
          I'D BE HAPPY TO SIT DOWN WITH YOU AND, UM, WALK YOU THROUGH THE INDIVIDUAL METHODOLOGIES AND WHAT THEY CONSIDER AND THEY DO CONSIDER OUR INVESTMENTS IN OUR INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND, AND I, I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. 
          UM, AND, AND WITH THAT, I WANTED TO SHIFT OVER TO DRAINAGE PROJECTS, RIGHT? WITH THE 17 PROJECTS ON THE HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN. 
          WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE, AND THIS COULD BE OFFLINE, IS WITH THOSE PROJECTS, HOW MUCH FUNDING IS BEING ALLOCATED TOWARDS THOSE 17 PROJECTS AND WHAT'S THE TOTAL COST OF THOSE PROJECTS IN COMPLETION? RIGHT? UM, AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO, TO PRESENT THAT BECAUSE THEY'RE VERY LARGE SCALE AND EXPENSIVE PROJECTS. 
          UH, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT, UM, YOUR DEPARTMENT GOES AFTER FEDERAL GRANTS, BUT I'VE HEARD THAT HOUSTON JUST SECURES THOSE FEDERAL DOLLARS, RIGHT? SO, SO HOW CAN WE SUPPORT THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT? UH, I DON'T KNOW. 
          IS THERE A GRANT WRITER ALLOCATED TO PUBLIC WORKS OR HOW DOES THAT WORK? IS IT SOMEONE ON YOUR STAFF, UH, TACKLING THE DAY-TO-DAY AS WELL AS THE FEDERAL GRANTS? WE HAVE HIRED CONSULTING MM-HMM. 
          , AND THEY HAVE HELPED US ON, ESPECIALLY ON THE RAILROAD GRANT. 
          AND WE'RE VERY SUCCESSFUL, SUCCESSFUL. 
          THEY'RE HELPING US ON ONE PROJECT IN COUNCIL DISTRICT TEAM FOR HARRY WACH. 
          WE MET WITH THEM LAST WEEK. 
          THEY'RE LOOKING FOR OUR PROJECT TO SEE, FIRST OF ALL, DO WE HAVE A GOOD PROJECT? AND IF THE ANSWER IS YES, WHAT GRANT SHOULD WE APPLY? WE DON'T HAVE ANY STAFF, BUT WE HAVE A MEAN TO HAVE CONSULTING TO ASSIST US. 
          AND, AND WE HAVE THE BACKUP IN, IN I G R MM-HMM. 
          . 
          WE, WE CONTRACT BASED ON THE SPECIALTY. 
          SO THE AIRPORT DRAINAGE, FLOODING, RAILROAD, UM, UH, PUBLIC SAFETY LAW ENFORCEMENT, WE USUALLY WHAT WE DO IS WE CONTRACT WITH SOMEONE WHO'S GOT THAT BACKGROUND EXPERTISE IN THAT AREA. 
          YEAH. 
          AND, AND TO BE FAIR, RIGHT, THE CITY OF HOUSTON DID RECEIVE SEVERAL LAWSUITS, UH, THAT ARGUED THAT THE CITY, UM, WASN'T ADVOCATING AND ALLOCATING FUNDING FOR LOW INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WERE DISPROPORTIONATELY LATINO AND AFRICAN-AMERICAN RIGHTS. 
          SO, SO THERE IS THAT PIECE, AND THERE MAY BE A REASON WHY THERE'S MORE AN EFFORT TO, TO GO AND ADVOCATE FOR THOSE FEDERAL DOLLARS. 
          BUT JUST WANTED TO HIT ON THE POINT THAT THIS IS, UH, WILL CONTINUE TO BE A PRIORITY. 
          AND I WANTED TO THANK YOUR STAFF. 
          UH, SPEAKING OF CRYING IN MEETINGS OF WHO WOULD THINK RIGHT. 
          CRYING IN A PUBLIC WORKS MEETING, THAT'S ME . 
          BUT AGAIN, JUST, UH, THANKING YOU ALL FOR Y'ALL'S WORK AS WELL AS BEING ACCESSIBLE TO COMMUNITY. 
          ONE THING THAT I ALWAYS REMIND CONSTITUENTS IS, YOU KNOW, PUBLIC WORKS AND EVERY CITY STAFF ARE AT NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION MEETINGS, RIGHT? YOU ALL ARE WORKING THE NINE TO FIVE AND THEN THE FIVE TO NINE AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION MEETING AND HAVE TO COME BACK TO WORK AND, AND DO IT, DO IT AGAIN, RIGHT? UM, SO THANKING YOU FOR THAT ALL, UM, WITH THE C I P AND THOSE 
          [02:35:01]
PROJECTS, I WOULD ALSO LIKE, UM, TO, TO HAVE MORE FLEXIBILITY ON WHAT WE CAN DO WITH THOSE DOLLARS. 
          I KNOW COUNCILMAN COURAGE RAISES THE POINT OF, YOU KNOW, THE DIFFERENT PIECES THAT WE CAN SUPPORT, UH, WITH TACKLING THOSE PROJECTS THROUGH C I P. 
          UM, I, I KNOW WITH PEDESTRIAN SAFETY, UM, AGAIN, AS COUNCILWOMAN, UH, GATO HIGHLIGHTED, IS THAT WHAT WE'RE RUNNING INTO IS, UM, TRAFFIC CALMING NEAR SCHOOLS AND HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO INITIATE THAT PROCESS FOR TRAFFIC CALMING. 
          UH, I KNOW SOME OF OUR DISTRICTS ARE OLDER ZONING AND DESIGN, SO THEY DON'T NECESSARILY MEET THE APPROPRIATE METRICS TO CHECK THE BOX AND QUALIFY FOR TRAFFIC CALMING. 
          UH, AND I'D LIKE TO WORK WITH YOUR OFFICE ON HOW WE CAN HELP STREAMLINE THAT PROCESS FOR THESE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT HAVE SHORTER BLOCKS, RIGHT? SO THEY DON'T MEET THE TRAFFIC CALMING APPLICATION, UH, NEEDS. 
          SO, UM, I JUST WANTED TO BE SURE THAT, UM, WE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT COUNCILMAN MCKEE RODRIGUEZ AND HIS ASK OF USING THAT EQUITY LENS WHEN IT COMES TO, TO ALLOCATING THE FUNDING AND, UH, ENSURING THAT WE ARE TAKING AN EQUITABLE, EQUITABLE APPROACH, RIGHT? BECAUSE WE CONTINUE TO USE THE WORD, BUT IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY REFLECT IT ALL THE TIME. 
          SO JUST WANTED TO, TO THANK YOU ALL FOR THAT AS WELL. 
          UM, THOSE ARE ALL MY COMMENTS FOR NOW. 
          THANK YOU, OZZIE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER CASTILLO, COUNCIL MEMBER WHITE. 
          THANKS MAYOR. 
          UM, JESUS ON THE AIRPORT. 
          GREAT JOB AS ALWAYS. 
          UM, SO EXCITED ABOUT WHAT'S COMING WITH THE AIRPORT. 
          UH, GREAT CITIES HAVE GREAT AIRPORTS IN, IN MY OPINION. 
          AND, AND SO I'M, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO, UH, TO WHAT'S TO COME THERE. 
          UM, ONE QUESTION. 
          WE'RE, WE'RE GONNA BE IN COMPETITION. 
          I GOT A BRIEFING RECENTLY ON MARKETING OUR AIRPORT, AND WE'RE GONNA BE IN COMPETITION WITH, UM, POTENTIALLY AUSTIN WHEN WE LOOK AT MARKETS IN BETWEEN HERE IN AUSTIN, SAN MARCUS SHIRTS, ET CETERA, AND THEN POTENTIALLY EVEN WITH SOME OF THE AIRPORTS IN THE VALLEY. 
          WHEN WE LOOK AT CORPUS AND SOME OF THE CITIES IN BETWEEN HERE IN THE VALLEY, WHERE SOME OF THOSE, UH, CITIZENS OF TEXAS, WHICH AIRPORT THEY'RE GONNA USE, UM, WHAT KIND OF THINGS ARE WE GOING TO BE DOING, UH, TO, TO WIN THOSE BATTLES AND HAVE, HAVE FOLKS COME HERE TO USE OUR AIRPORT? YEAH. 
          THE, THE PLACE I'D START FIRST, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER IS SAFETY FIRST AS IT RELATES TO AIRPORTS. 
          UH, AS WE INTRODUCE AND TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT RIP OF THE RI WAY, ENCOURAGING PREVENTION THROUGH SITUATIONAL AWARENESS IS BIG. 
          AND THEN THE NEXT PIECE IS THE PRODUCT THAT WE DELIVER, UM, THE ENTIRE AIRPORT OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE DAY TO DAY, WHETHER IT'S THE PARKING STAFF, THE PEOPLE THAT ARE CLEANING THE RESTROOMS, THE PEOPLE THAT ARE DELIVERING THE PRODUCT THAT WE NEED TO DELIVER DAY IN AND DAY OUT IS LED BY RYAN ROCHA, UH, CHIEF OF OPERATIONS. 
          UH, WE JUST RECENTLY WERE RECOGNIZED BY THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION. 
          A CERTAIN SPECTER CAME AND DID A FULL REVIEW OF EVERYTHING HAPPENING ON THE SECURITY OF THE AIRPORT, THE OVERALL OPERATIONS IN THE MOVEMENT AREAS, IN THE NON-MOVEMENT AREAS. 
          UH, THE COLLABORATION OF US WORKING WITH THE FIREFIGHTER AND AIRPORT RESCUE FIREFIGHTERS, THE SAN ANTONIO, UH, POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT WORKS WITH US ON A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT INITIATIVES. 
          ALL OF THAT CULMINATES INTO THE PRODUCT THAT WE DELIVER DAY IN AND DAY OUT FROM A CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE. 
          UM, I'LL BRAG ON RYAN A. LITTLE BIT. 
          ZERO DISCREPANCIES FOR 2023, NOT ONE. 
          THEY COME IN AND THEY TURN OUR AIRPORT UPSIDE DOWN TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE NEED TO DO SO WE CAN MAINTAIN OUR, UM, CERTIFICATE OF, OF OPERATIONS FOR THE AIRPORT. 
          SO THAT'S A BIG ELEMENT. 
          THE AMBASSADORS THAT WE HAVE AT THE AIRPORTS THAT ARE BEYOND MOVING IN THE WAY THAT THEY HELP AND, AND ASSIST PASSENGERS, UM, WE ESTABLISH A TEAM THAT COMES IN, HELPS WITH, UH, THE PASSENGER EXPERIENCE. 
          I TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT T SS A AND C B P, ALL OF THAT TOGETHER IN UNISON IS A PRODUCT THAT WE DELIVER FOR SAN ANTONIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT THAT CONTINUES TO GRAVITATE PEOPLE TO WANT TO USE THE AIRPORT VERSUS YOU GO TO OTHER AIRPORTS, WHETHER IN THE VALLEY OR UP NORTH AND YOU'RE WAITING 30, 40, 50 MINUTES IN A LINE TO GET THROUGH THE CHECKPOINT, OR YOU'RE WAITING AN HOUR TO GET THROUGH CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION, OR YOU CAN'T, YOU KNOW, PROVIDE THE LEVEL OF SERVICE THAT WE'RE PROVIDING. 
          PASSENGERS MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON THE DESTINATION THAT THEY'RE GOING TO, WHETHER IT'S ORIGIN OR DESTINATION BASED ON THE AIRPORTS THAT ARE DELIVERING THE PRODUCTS. 
          SO WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT, UH, SAFETY AND CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE. 
          SO, SO WE'RE CONFIDENT WHEN, WHEN THIS NEW TERMINAL GETS BUILT IN, IN I GUESS 27 OR 28, THAT, THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO, UH, BASED ON PRICE AND DIRECT FLIGHTS AND, AND CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE, WE'LL BE ABLE TO WIN THOSE BATTLES. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          WE KNOW THAT THE SAN ANTONIO 
          [02:40:01]
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IS THE ECONOMIC ENGINE TO THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO, AND WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO THRIVE THAT DOMESTICALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY, UH, CONTINUING TO PROVIDE THE PRODUCT THAT WE PROVIDE, THE DESIGN CENTERS THAT WE'VE ESTABLISHED, AND THE TEAM THAT'S WORKING ON THE EXECUTIVE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT TEAM, UH, THE MASTER ARCHITECT THAT WE HAVE WITH CORRIGAN, ALL FOCUSED, UH, IN ALIGNMENT, UH, WITH THE AIRPORT STAFF AND THE AIRLINES TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE A, A GOOD PRODUCT. 
          WE'RE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF COORDINATING WITH AIRLINES ON MASSING EXERCISES, ON WHAT SPECIFIC NEEDS DO THEY HAVE? DO WE TAKE THE TRASH OUT THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR, DO WE TAKE IT OUT THROUGH THE BACK DOOR? THOSE ARE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT EFFORTS AND INITIATIVES THAT ARE HAPPENING DAY IN AND DAY OUT TO ENSURE THAT AT THE END, THE AIRPORT IS A REFLECTION OF THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, THANK YOU. 
          UM, ON THE, ON THE DEBT MANAGEMENT, UH, SIDE OF THINGS, IT LOOKS LIKE WE, WE KEEP 15% OF THE GENERAL FUND, UM, IN RESERVE. 
          IS, IS THAT RIGHT? IS THAT OUR POLICY? UH, 15%, 10% RESERVE, AND A FIVE YEAR, TWO YEAR RESERVE. 
          OKAY. 
          AND, AND THAT'S A, A COUNCIL POLICY THAT, THAT THE COUNCIL, I GUESS? UH, THEY ARE, YES. 
          YES, SIR. 
          THEY'RE COUNCIL ADOPTED POLICY THAT Y'ALL REAFFIRM EVERY, WITH EVERY ADOPTED BUDGET. 
          OKAY. 
          AND HA HA HAS THOSE NUMBERS BEEN THE SAME FOR YEARS OR HAS THAT CHANGED AT ALL IN THE, IN THE PAST, YOU KNOW, FOUR TO SIX YEARS? I DON'T REMEMBER WHEN WE ACTUALLY PUT THE POLICY IN PLACE. 
          UM, CHRISTINA, IT'S BEEN SOME TIME COUNCILMAN, UM, EARLIER IN THE YEAR, UM, IN, UH, APRIL ACTUALLY, UM, WE INTRODUCED FOR THE COUNCIL TO START THINKING, UH, UPDATING THAT FOR, I MEAN, WE'VE, WE'VE GROWN AS AN ORGANIZATION AND, AND LOOKING AT, UM, MAYBE UPDATING THAT WE INTRODUCED THAT IN THE SPRINGTIME, THAT WILL LIKELY BE A CONVERSATION, CERTAINLY AS WE GO INTO FISCAL YEAR 24, UM, AS WE DO BIG PROJECTS LIKE THE AIRPORT, UM, HAVE THE EXPERIENCE OF, UM, EXPANDED OPERATIONS, UM, THAT THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING WE WANT TO, FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE, FROM THE STAFF PERSPECTIVE, WE MIGHT WANNA KICK THE TIRES ON THAT AND MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE KEEPING UP WITH WHERE WE SHOULD BE. 
          AND I KNOW THAT'S A LARGER POLICY CONVERSATION THE COUNCIL NEEDS TO HAVE. 
          YEAH. 
          BECAUSE IF THOSE NUMBERS WERE SCALED BACK SOMEWHAT, SOME OF THAT MONEY COULD BE USED, PAY OFF DEBT OR, OR HEAD OFF, YOU KNOW, RATE INCREASES, THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          W WOULD THAT BE THE CASE? UH, THOSE WOULD BE POLICY DISCUSSIONS THAT, UM, WE NEED DIRECTION FROM Y'ALL AND, AND NOT TO BE USED IN TERMS OF REDUCING RATES BECAUSE IT'S A ONE-TIME USE THAT'S NOT A RECURRING REVENUE. 
          THAT'S, THAT'S A, THAT'S, THAT'S A, UM, THAT'S A ONE-TIME DOLLAR. 
          SO, UM, UM, YOU COULDN'T DO IT. 
          UH, WE WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THE COUNCIL DO THAT FOR A RECURRING REVENUE ADJUSTMENT OR A RECURRING REVENUE OR RECURRING EXPENSE. 
          UM, THAT IS TO, UM, THAT THAT WOULDN'T BE AN APPROPRIATE USE. 
          OKAY. 
          THANKS. 
          AND, AND COUNCILMAN, BACK TO YOUR ORIGINAL QUESTION, UH, JUSTINA WHISPERED IN MY EAR 2015 WHEN THOSE POLICIES WERE PUT IN PLACE. 
          GOT IT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          PUBLIC WORKS. 
          UM, RAZZI, SO THE GENERAL FUND PORTION, UH, OF THE STREET MAINTENANCE PROGRAM, HAS THAT, HAS THAT INCREASED OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS OR, OR MORE OR LESS? STAYED THE SAME COUNCILMAN? IT'S STAYED ABOUT THE SAME FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS. 
          OKAY. 
          I MEAN, I'D TELL YOU, WHEN I, WHEN I LOOK AT THE MONEY SPENT FROM THE GENERAL FUND, UH, SURE LOOKS LIKE TO ME MORE, MORE OF THE, MORE OF THIS MONEY SHOULD BE, SHOULD BE SPENT ON INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          UM, TO ME, PUBLIC SAFETY AND INFRASTRUCTURE ARE, ARE THE, ARE THE TWO MOST BASIC THINGS THAT WE PROBABLY ALL HEAR ABOUT IN OUR DISTRICTS. 
          AND, UM, I DON'T KNOW, I GUESS IT'S A, IT'S A POLICY DISCUSSION THAT, THAT WE ON COUNCIL NEED TO HAVE. 
          UH, BUT I'D CERTAINLY BE IN FAVOR OF, OF MORE DOLLARS, UM, GOING, GOING TO STREETS AND, AND SIDEWALKS AND, AND, AND OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS. 
          UM, LAST THING IS, AND, AND I GUESS THIS IS A QUESTION FOR ERIC, UM, I THINK YOU MENTIONED AT ONE OF OUR PAST BRIEFINGS THAT THERE'S ABOUT $1.4 MILLION LEFT OVER IN, IN, IN ARPA FUNDS. 
          DID I CATCH THAT? YES, SIR. 
          LAST WEEK, UM, AT THE, MY BUDGET PRESENTATION, UM, I DID MENTION THAT, UM, AS WE DO OUR QUARTERLY, QUARTERLY UPDATE, WE HAVE $1.4 MILLION IN, UH, ARPA DOLLARS THAT ARE UNALLOCATED AT THIS POINT. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, SO COUNCILMAN MCKEE RODRIGUEZ AND I, AND, AND 
          [02:45:01]
WE WERE THANKFUL THAT SOME OF OUR COLLEAGUES JOINED US IN THAT, IN THAT C C R THAT WE FILED SOME WEEKS AGO. 
          A, UH, A CONSTRUCTION MITIGATION C C R AND THAT'S OBVIOUSLY GONNA TAKE SOME TIME TO, TO WORK ITS WAY THROUGH THE PROCESS, THROUGH THE, THROUGH THE COUNCIL PROCESS OR THE COMMITTEE PROCESS. 
          WHAT, WHAT COULD WE DO IN TERMS OF ALLOCATING THOSE FUNDS, UM, OR SETTING THEM ASIDE, UH, TO BE USED TO HELP SOME OF OUR, OUR BUSINESSES THAT HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY, BY THE CONSTRUCTION GOING ON AROUND THE CITY UNTIL, UH, THIS C C R WORKS AT WHAT WORKS ITS WAY THROUGH THE COMMITTEE PROCESS AND MAYBE WE COME UP WITH A MORE PERMANENT PROGRAM. 
          UH, DO JUST THAT, JUST SET IT ASIDE. 
          I MEAN, WE, WE HAVE, SINCE WE'VE BEEN INTO ARPA, WE DO UP QUARTERLY UPDATES TO THE COUNCIL, UM, AS PROJECTS CLOSE OUT, ANY, ANY AVAILABLE DOLLARS WE BRING TO THE COUNCIL. 
          SO ONE OPTION FOR THE COUNCIL WOULD BE TO JUST HOLD THAT $1.4 MILLION THERE FOR ARPA FOR THAT LARGER POLICY CONVERSATION OR WHATEVER THE COUNCIL WANTS TO DO. 
          BUT WE WOULD JUST SET IT ASIDE AND LEAVE IT WHERE IT'S AT, UM, IN THE MEANTIME. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          LET ME, UM, LET ME ADDRESS ONE OTHER THING. 
          UM, IF YOU PULL UP SLIDE, UH, SIX FOR PUBLIC WORKS, SO THAT IS A COMBINATION OF BOTH OPERATING FUNDS OR CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION. 
          SO YOU HAVE SEEN OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS, TOTAL STREET MAINTENANCE EXPENSES AND SPENDING HAS GONE UP TO SUPPORT THE FIVE YEAR I M P. 
          UM, AND SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU SAW THAT. 
          UM, I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT ABOUT SPENDING MORE IN INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT WE HAVE GONE UP OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS. 
          UH, 2020 IS A LITTLE BIT OF ANOMALY BECAUSE WE DELAYED SOME PROJECTS, UM, WHEN WE GOT HIT WITH COVID. 
          UM, AND THEN, UH, RECOVERED THEN AFTER IN 2021 AND HAVE MADE SEVERAL UPWARDS UPWARD ADJUSTMENTS, UH, SINCE THEN. 
          THANKS, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCILS MEMBER, WHITE, WELL, IF YOU LEAVE THAT UP THERE ALSO, THAT'S JUST GENERAL FUND DOLLARS. 
          UM, WE'VE GOT OUR CAPITAL PROGRAM. 
          IT'S NOT, IT'S IT'S GENERAL FUND AND, AND, UH, AND CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT IT'S NOT INCLUSIVE OF THE BOND PROGRAM? NO, IT'S NOT. 
          AND SO, YOU KNOW, IT IS IN THE FU NOT GOING BACK. 
          NOT GOING BACK. 
          NO, NOT GOING BACK. 
          RIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          WELL, YEAH, SO I MEAN, IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO SEE LIKE A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME ON THAT GRAPH BECAUSE AGAIN, WE HAD A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THAT BUDGET IN 2018, UH, FROM, YOU KNOW, 65 TO I THINK 99 MILLION. 
          AND THEN PRIOR TO THAT IT WAS EVEN LOWER THAN THAT. 
          IT WAS 31 OR 30, I THINK IT WAS ABOUT $34 MILLION IN, IN 13 OR 14. 
          SO IT'S BEEN, IT'S BEEN GOING UP STEADILY, UH, OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS OR SO. 
          WE CAN OVERLAY, UH, MAYOR IN THE, UM, IN THE COUNCIL FOLLOW UP MEMO, WE CAN GO BACK TO 2017, EVEN WITH THE BOND 2017 BOND PROGRAM AND SHOW TOTAL SPENDING IN STREETS, WHETHER IT IS BOND PROJECTS, STREET MAINTENANCE, UM, AND THEN OVERLAY THE 22 AND RUN IT THROUGH 27. 
          BECAUSE YOU'RE PROBABLY TALKING ABOUT, UM, NORTHWARDS OF, UH, A BAIT AND A HALF DOLLARS. 
          MY GUESS. 
          YEAH, WHY DON'T WE DO THAT? YEAH, WE'LL SHOW IT BY SOURCE. 
          WE'LL DO THAT . 
          YEAH, MAYBE, MAYBE TAKE A 10 YEAR LOOK BACK AT WHAT THAT, WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALL COGNIZANT OF THE FACT THAT SOME OF THE BIGGEST COMPLAINTS WE'VE GOTTEN OVER THE LAST YEAR OR SO IS HOW MANY ORANGE CONES ARE EVERYWHERE SO THAT THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH THAT WE CAN PUT THROUGH THE CAPITAL PIPELINE BEFORE THE PRESSURE GETS, UM, TOO GREAT FOR EVERYBODY TO BEAR. 
          UM, ALL RIGHT, WELL, I THINK WE'RE GOING AROUND TWO NOW. 
          UM, COUNCIL MEMBER MCKEE RODRIGUEZ. 
          THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          AND I'LL BE FOCUSED ON, UH, PUBLIC WORKS. 
          UH, I DO WANNA ADD TO THAT PIECE. 
          I THINK THAT DURING PREVIOUS BUDGET DISCUSSIONS WE HAD A CONVERSATION OR THERE'S BEEN CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW MUCH COUNCIL WANTED TO, UM, UH, YOU KNOW, USING GENERAL FUNDS VERSUS BOND DOLLARS AND HAVING THEM EQUAL UP TO WHAT WE PREVIOUSLY USED TOTALLY JUST OUT OF GENERAL FUND. 
          UM, I, I'M BOTCHING THAT, SO I'LL GET BACK TO THAT POINT. 
          I WANNA GET THROUGH, UH, I WANNA GET THROUGH SOME OF THESE BIG THINGS. 
          UM, STARTING WITH SLIDE 10 AND 11, I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HOW MANY OF THE EXISTING MILES ARE ACCESSIBLE OR USABLE? UM, USABLE WAS THE TERM THAT WAS USED IN SLIDE 11. 
          UM, AND I ASK THAT BECAUSE I'M THINKING ABOUT SOME OF MY, YOU KNOW, PARTS OF MY DISTRICT WHERE THERE MAY BE SIDEWALKS, BUT THEY'RE LEANING SIDEWAYS AT A 35 DEGREE ANGLE. 
          YEAH. 
          SO , IS THAT SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN GET, UH, AND AS A PART OF THE MEMO, I THINK ANSWER, MAN, YOU 
          [02:50:01]
CAN, THE SIDEWALK ASSESSMENT WAS DONE 2019 ALREADY, FOUR YEARS OLD AND THINGS, YOU KNOW, CHANGES DETERIORATES THREE GROWTH AND OTHER, AND WE HAVE THE INFORMATION, BUT WE LIKE WANNA DO MORE COMPREHENSIVE SIDEWALK ASSESSMENT, WHICH IS GOING TO START NEXT YEAR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND I'M, I WANNA TRY TO GET THROUGH ALL MY QUESTIONS AND THEN I DON'T EXPECT ANSWERS RIGHT NOW. 
          I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE AS A PART OF THE RESPONSE MEMO. 
          UM, THE SECOND QUESTION REGARDING SIDEWALKS IS IN THE PRIORITIZATION CRITERIA, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF WE CAN INCLUDE CRIME STATISTICS AS A METRIC. 
          UM, AND THE REASON IS BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT, UH, PEOPLE WHO ARE WALKING AROUND THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD AND VISIBLE, UM, ARE EXTRA EYES IN THEIR COMMUNITY. 
          AND I THINK THAT INCRE HAVING ACCESSIBLE AND USABLE SIDEWALKS MAKES THAT A POSSIBILITY. 
          UM, THE THIRD PIECE OF THAT IS REGARDING THE ASSESSMENT INDEX. 
          WILL IT BE EXPANSIVE IN SCOPE? UH, AND REALLY I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO COME BACK NEEDING SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION LATER. 
          FOR EXAMPLE, I THINK WE NEED TO KNOW FROM THE BEGINNING IF THERE ARE BARRIERS LIKE MAILBOXES, TREES, UTILITY POLES, THE, LIKE, BECAUSE I STILL HAVE FOLK WHO HAD THEIR VERY ORNATE, BEAUTIFUL MAILBOXES RIPPED OUT AND DESTROYED, AND THEY WANT THEM BACK AND WE CAN'T. 
          AND SO I, I JUST WANNA KNOW IN THE FUTURE IF THAT'S GONNA BE COUNCIL, THAT'S ONE OF THE CRITERIA OBSTRUCTION WE WANNA MAKE SURE SIDEWALK AT MINIMUM MID-STATE YEAR REQUIREMENT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I'LL MOVE ON TO ALLEY MAINTENANCE. 
          AND THIS IS JUST A QUESTION FOR CLARIFICATION. 
          SO WE'RE DOING, UH, 245 NON-SERVICE ALLEYS WITH NO UTILITIES OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS. 
          ARE WE PLANNING TO DO THE FULL 412 IN THE NEXT FOUR YEARS? UM, AND ARE WE AT SOME POINT GONNA TRY TO INCLUDE THE REMAINING 3,500, 3,522 NON-SERVICE ALLEYS IN THE NEW NEAR FUTURE, OR NO? OUR INTENTION IS THOSE SERVICE ALLEY HAS UTILITY. 
          WE ARE PLANNING TO WORK WITH SALES AND CPAS BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONES REALLY USING THOSE ALLEYS. 
          WE WORK WITH THEM AND CREATE PLAN OF MAINTENANCE RATHER THAN CITY PAYING A HUNDRED PERCENT COST. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, REGARDING THE INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS AT INTERSECTIONS, I'M WONDERING, IS THIS TECH, IS THIS TECHNOLOGY JUST FOR TRAFFIC MITIGATION OR WILL, UH, THE DATA BE USED IN OTHER WAYS BY OTHER AGENCIES OR DEPARTMENTS FOR JUST THE TRAFFIC? PERFECT. 
          UM, AND I IMAGINE THE MAJOR CORRIDORS, FOR EXAMPLE, BROADWAY ARE IN NEED OF THESE, UH, YOU KNOW, FOR EASE OF FLOW OF TRAFFIC. 
          AND SO I'D BE INTERESTED IN SEEING WHERE WE INTEND TO USE 'EM. 
          AND YOU DID SAY THAT THERE WAS ALREADY, UH, A MAP OR A LIST OF LOCATIONS? YES. 
          YES SIR. 
          PERFECT. 
          ON PROJECT LIKE BROADWAY, ANYTIME WE DO BRAND NEW BOND FUNDED PROJECT, WE IMPROVE, WE INCLUDE ALL OF THESE ON THOSE PROJECT PROJECT PACE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THIS WOULD BE ADDITION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND FOR RADAR FEEDBACK SIGNS, I KNOW, UH, I KNOW SOME FOLK WANT SOME, I CAN PROVIDE 20 LOCATIONS FOR YOU IN THE NEXT HOUR. 
          IF , IF YOU CAN GIVE ME THOSE, UM, I CAN YOU DO 10 FOR 2023 AND REMAINING 10 FOR FOLLOWING YEARS. 
           MORE THAN 10. 
          IF WE'RE GONNA DO EQUITY , I'M GONNA, I'M GONNA PIN THAT DOWN. 
          UH, THE NEXT THING I THINK IS, AND THE MAYOR JUST HIT ON THIS POINT, I THINK A PROBLEM THAT I THINK MANY OF US WANT TO NAVIGATE AND WE'RE STRUGGLING WITH IS A FEELING THAT EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION AT THE SAME TIME. 
          UM, SOMEWHAT HAPHAZARD. 
          IT FEELS SOMEWHAT HAPHAZARD. 
          UM, AND IT'S DEFINITELY NOT MADE ANY EASIER BY TECH DOTS PROJECTS. 
          I'M THINKING SPECIFICALLY LIKE WHEN CERTAIN EXITS ARE CLOSED AND THEN WHOLE STREETS, IT FEELS LIKE, UH, THERE'S VERY LITTLE COORDINATION. 
          IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S SOME DEEPER LEVEL OF COORDINATION OR PLANNING THAT WILL NEED TO TAKE PLACE OR IF WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING PERFECTLY. 
          I, WERE YOU ABOUT TO SAY SOMETHING? NO, NO, I THINK YOU'RE DONE. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          COOL, COOL, COOL. 
          AND THEN THE LAST BIT IS JUST REGARDING, UH, CONTRACTING ACCOUNTABILITY. 
          I KNOW WE HAVE THE INCENTIVE PAY FOR EARLY COMPLETION, BUT I DO WANNA MAKE SURE THAT IT'S QUALITY EARLY COMPLETION, AND I THINK MAYBE THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO HAVE A DEEPER DISCUSSION ABOUT, UM, YOU KNOW, WHO GOES OUT AND INSPECTS BECAUSE EISENHOWER WAS JUST DONE NOT THAT LONG AGO AND IT ALREADY LOOKS A MESS TO ME. 
          UH, AND THAT'S LIKE, THAT'S RIGHT OFF, YOU KNOW, PRE-K FOR ESSAY IS RIGHT THERE. 
          I, AND THERE'S A LOT OF STREETS THAT IT FEELS LIKE THEY GET NEW CONSTRUCTION OR THEY GET FIXED AND THEN THEY LOOK A MESS IN A YEAR. 
          BUT THAT'S MY QUESTIONS. 
          I'LL WAIT FOR RESPONSES. 
          , THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER MCKEE RODRIGUEZ. 
          UM, ERIC RAZZI, YOU WANNA TACKLE ANY OF THAT? NO, MOST OF THAT WE'LL JUST INCLUDE IN THE FOLLOW-UP MEMO. 
          I'LL, I'LL, THE ONLY THING I I WANTED TO ADDRESS IS THE COORDINATION OF PROJECTS. 
          UM, WE COULD ALWAYS DO BETTER AND, AND IT, IT, IT FEELS LIKE IT BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION AND, UM, I JUST WANNA PLANT A SEED THAT THE CONSTRUCTION, THAT THE CONSTRUCTION IS A LONG TIMELINE. 
          A LOT OF THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS THAT, AND I'M SPEAKING JUST ON THE CITY SIDE, A LOT OF THOSE 
          [02:55:01]
CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS WERE CONCEIVED AND PLANNED IN 2017. 
          SO THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING NOW FOR THE 22 AND THE PROJECTS AND THE DESIGN, THERE'S A LONG RUNWAY FOR US TO BE, UM, TO DO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ROD TALKED ABOUT AND MAKING SURE WE'RE COMMUNICATING EXPECTATIONS, UH, MAKING SURE WE'RE COMMUNICATING WITH THE COUNCIL OFFICES AS, AS COUNCILWOMAN CTO TALKED ABOUT. 
          UM, 'CAUSE THERE'S A LONG RUNWAY FOR THOSE THINGS. 
          UM, THIRDLY, THE, THE CONTRACTOR INCENTIVE COMPLETELY AGREE. 
          IT IS NOT ABOUT JUST GETTING IT FAST AND, AND, AND NOT DOING A GOOD JOB. 
          IT'S GONNA HAVE TO BE BALANCED. 
          WE CAN'T, WE, WE HAVE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. 
          SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A CARROT AND STICK. 
          UM, I, I HAVE A VISION IN MY HEAD OF THESE VIDEOS OF IN, UH, SWEDEN OR AMSTERDAM WHERE THEY'RE PUTTING IN WHOLE BRIDGES OVER A FOUR DAY PERIOD, RIGHT? SO PART OF THAT IS MAKING SURE THAT AS WE DO THE DESIGN AND WE SOLICIT THE EXPECTATIONS ABOUT THE TIMELINE, WHETHER IT HAS A WATER LINE, A SEWER LINE, OR IT'S JUST CURBS THE CURB, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS THE EXPECT EXPECTATION ON THE TIMELINE? AND COLETTE, UH, WHO PRESENTED TO YOU LAST WEEK AT B SESSION TALKED A LOT ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT, THAT, UH, CONTRACTORS UNDERSTAND HOW WE'RE GONNA OPERATE AND WHAT OUR EXPECTATIONS ARE. 
          OUR, MY EXPECTATION FOR CONTRACTORS IS THE SAME EXPECTATION THAT, UH, H E B HAS WHEN THEY HIRE A CONTRACTOR, RIGHT? THAT WE'RE GONNA BE EFFICIENT, WE'RE GONNA MAKE, WE'RE GONNA EXECUTE DECISIONS QUICKLY, AND WE'RE GONNA MAKE CHANGES APPROPRIATELY. 
          UM, AND, AND I THINK A LOT OF TIMES, UM, CONTRACTORS ASSUME WE'RE GONNA BE SLOW WHEN WE ENCOUNTER A PROBLEM. 
          UM, WE ARE ALWAYS GONNA ENCOUNTER, NOPE, MOST, MOST PROJECTS GO OFF WITHOUT A HITCH. 
          WE'VE GOT A WHOLE SLEW. 
          BUT WHEN WE ENCOUNTER ISSUES, WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO MOVE QUICKLY, EXECUTE QUICKLY, AND KEEP THOSE CREWS ON SITE. 
          AND, AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO WHEN WE START SOLICITING FOR THE 22 BOND PROGRAMS. 'CAUSE RIGHT NOW WE'RE STILL IN DESIGN. 
          'CAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD IN TERMS OF EXPECTATION. 
          AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO A MUCH BETTER JOB, UM, BOTH INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY. 
          CONCLUSIONS 2017 IS MESSING US UP. 
          THANK YOU, . 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, COUNCIL MEMBER ROCHE GARCIA. 
          THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          AND THANK YOU AGAIN. 
          AND SO, UM, ON MY SECOND GO ROUND, I'LL START OFF FIRST BY THANKING ERIC. 
          UM, YOU MENTIONED THE RED FLASHING STOP SIGNS AND SEEING IF WE COULD ADD THOSE AS THE IMPROVEMENTS. 
          UM, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY BELIEVE IN THAT. 
          I THINK WE NEED A WHOLE LOT MORE OF THOSE RED FLASHING STOP SIGNS. 
          UM, ONE OF MY STUDENTS TRAGICALLY LOST HER LIFE. 
          AND I, I THINK THAT THINGS LIKE THAT CAN, CAN HELP OTHERS, UM, KEEP THEIR LIVES. 
          SO ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO TO, TO PUSH ON THAT, PLEASE LET ME KNOW, ERIC. 
          AND THEN ALSO, UM, MOVE ON TO ROD. 
          THANK YOU FOR PAYING ATTENTION TO, UH, MARKETING AND SAYING THAT WE NEED TO INVEST IN, IN SOME ADDITIONAL, UH, MARKETING. 
          UM, AND SPECIFICALLY I THINK THE MARKETING THAT COUNCILMAN, UM, UH, UH, ALTO MENTIONED THIS, UM, BUT ALL OF US, I THINK GET, UH, DIFFERENT CONSTITUENTS CALLING US AND SAYING, WELL, I LIVE ON A CORNER STREET, SO I DIDN'T GET THE NOTICE BECAUSE, UM, MY DOOR FACES THE OTHER STREET. 
          RIGHT? AND SO I DO THINK THAT COORDINATION, I DO THINK THAT THE PUBLIC WORKS DASHBOARD, UM, IS GONNA BE IMPORTANT. 
          SO THANK YOU TO MY COLLEAGUES FOR SUPPORTING THAT INITIATIVE. 
          UM, UM, THAT WE BROUGHT UP, UH, UH, LAST YEAR. 
          UM, I HAVE A QUESTION, AND THIS, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A JOINT LEGAL QUESTION OR JOINT, BUT YOU, YOU MENTIONED, UM, THE TIMEOUT LIST, RIGHT? I DON'T, UH, CAN WE USE THAT CONCEPT? LIKE I, WE GOT SUED FOR THE PROACTIVE INSPECTION. 
          UM, HOW CAN WE APPLY KIND OF, HOW, HOW CAN WE, WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN SUED FOR THIS ONE. 
          LIKE, CAN, CAN WE DO SOMETHING SIMILAR AND EVEN LIKE IN OTHER THINGS THAT WE'RE PLANNING ON, LIKE, HELP ME UNDERSTAND THAT. 
          LIKE, CAN WE PUT THEM IN A TIMEOUT THEN? UH, PEOPLE WHO ARE DOING, LIKE IN THE APARTMENT INSPECTION, PROACTIVE APARTMENT INSPECTION, A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. 
          OKAY. 
          I'LL TAKE A CRACK AT IT, RAY. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THROW THE FLAG. 
          UM, BUT THE PRO, THE, THE, UM, THE, THE, UM, THE OR RESPONSIBLE BIDDERS ORDINANCE IS ALLOWED IN THE STATE LAW FOR THE COUNCIL TO SET ADDITIONAL PARAMETERS UNDER THAT LOW BID. 
          SO YOU HAD THE AUTHORITY TO DO THAT VERY CLEARLY. 
          SURE. 
          UM, UM, IN UNDER STATE LAW MM-HMM. 
          , THE PROACTIVE INSPECTION IS A REGULATORY, UM, ACTION THAT THE COUNCIL TOOK BY ORDINANCE TO, UM, UM, AND WE DON'T CONTRACT WITH THOSE APARTMENTS, RIGHT? IT'S A, IT'S A, THE DIFFERENCES WE'RE CONTRACTING WITH COMPANIES FOR A SERVICE. 
          GOT IT. 
          OKAY. 
          FOR THE APARTMENTS, WE'RE NOT CONTRACTING TO PROVIDE HOUSING FOR PEOPLE. 
          IT IS AN EXPECTATION ABOUT A PROPERTY MAINTENANCE, UH, STANDARD THAT, THAT WE'RE ASKING THEM 
          [03:00:01]
TO ABIDE BY, BUT IT COULD POSSIBLY APPLY TO SOMETHING LIKE HEAT ILLNESS RELATED. 
          WELL, DO WE DON'T CONTRACT FOR THAT? HOW, IN WHAT SENSE? BUT IF IT'S FOR SUBCONTRACTORS, WHICH IS COMING UP TO COUNCIL OR FOR OUR CONTRACTORS OH. 
          BUT USING CITY CONTRACTORS. 
          SURE. 
          YEAH. 
          THAT'S, YEAH, THAT'S, I'M JUST CHECKING LITTLE DIFFERENT, SO I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THAT. 
          THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION. 
          AND THEN, UM, CONGRATS TO PUBLIC WORKS BECAUSE, UM, I KNOW THAT YOU ALL HAD AN, AN EXTRA NUMBER OF MILES OF STREETS THAT WERE IMPROVED, AND I KNOW THAT WE'RE ALWAYS ON YOU ALL, UM, AND YOU ALL, UH, OUTPACED YOURSELVES, IT LOOKS LIKE. 
          SO CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT. 
          I'M HAPPY ABOUT THAT. 
          ON PAGE 360 1, IT SAYS, $91,473 IS INCLUDED FOR DISTRICT 10 INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          UM, WHAT IS THE, SO HELP ME UNDERSTAND THAT ONE. 
          I I DON'T SEE, UM, THE, THE OTHER DISTRICTS THAT ARE INCLUDED, BUT I'M PRETTY SURE THERE'S A GOOD EXPLANATION. 
          SURE. 
          SO, LAST YEAR, AS YOU MAY RECALL, COUNCILWOMAN, UM, DURING THE AMENDMENT PROCESS, THERE WERE CERTAIN COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT DECIDED TO INCREASE THEIR FTES BY TEN NINE. 
          THAT'S WHAT IT IS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YEAH. 
          SO COUNCIL DISTRICT 10 DECIDED NOT TO INCREASE THE FTES, AND HE WANTED TO ALLOCATE THAT MONEY TO HIS INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          AND THEN MY LAST QUESTION IS ON THE SHADE STRUCTURES. 
          SO I HAVE, UM, ON PAGE 4 55, WE HAVE, UM, ONE OF OUR PROJECTS IN DISTRICT FOUR THAT INCLUDES FUNDING FOR SHADE STRUCTURES. 
          BUT ON PAGE 60 OF THE BUDGET YOU HAVE THAT WE'RE GONNA BE LOOKING AT A FIVE YEAR, I THINK, REPLACEMENT PLAN FOR SHADE STRUCTURES. 
          SO DO WE TAKE THAT OFF NOW OR ARE, ARE THEY COMING OFF OF ALL OF THE BOND PROJECTS? HELP ME, WHAT BOND PROJECT WAS IT? UM, IT WAS THE ONE FOR, AND IS IT SCHEDULED FOR NEXT YEAR? UH, PIER SOUTH PARK. 
          YEP. 
          WELL, I, I THINK WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS PROBABLY MAKE SURE, UM, AND THIS PROBABLY APPLIES TO A LOT OF COUNCIL MEMBERS IN TERMS OF BOND PROJECTS, UM, MAKE SURE THAT WE CHECK THE BOND PROJECT LIST IN 22 WITH THE SHADE STRUCTURE PLAN. 
          UM, IF WE'RE GONNA, THE PLAN IS TO DO THAT THROUGH OUR OPERATING BUDGET, I WOULD ENCOURAGE COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THE COMMUNITY AS WE GO THROUGH AND HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE PARK IMPROVEMENTS NOT TO ALLOCATE MONEY FOR SHADE STRUCTURES. 
          PERFECT. 
          AND THAT'S ANOTHER PARK AMENITY THAT MAYBE THAT, UH, THAT, THAT CAN BE ADDRESSED. 
          YES. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          THAT MADE ME HAPPY. 
          AND THEN I'M, UM, CONCERNED BECAUSE D FOUR'S AVERAGE P C I SCORE ONLY IMPROVES SLIGHTLY. 
          UM, THE PERCENTAGE OF F STREET ALSO INCREASED OVER THE TI OVER THE SAME TIME PERIOD. 
          SO MAYBE IF I COULD GET AN ANSWER ABOUT THAT OR, UM, WHAT, WHAT ROI IS THINKING THERE. 
          AND THEN IF WE COULD SEE ALSO A CHART WITH THE FUNDING PER DISTRICT, AND THEN I SEE THAT WE'RE ONLY INCREASING THE SIDEWALK BUDGET BY 700,000, BUT WE'RE ADDING A WHOLE LOT OF REPAIRS AND I'M WONDERING IF WE'LL SEE A REDUCTION IN PROJECTS. 
          SO THOSE ARE MY ONLY QUESTIONS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCILMEMBER. 
          ROCHE GARCIA, COUNCIL MEMBER GRA THANK YOU. 
          UM, IN THAT FOLLOW UP LETTER ON SLIDE EIGHT, THE, UH, URBAN HEAT ISLAND, THE, UM, PROJECTS THAT WE HAD, THE 2 MILLION FOR COOL PAVEMENT, UH, WE HAD ONE IN GILLETTE AND MORRISON GILLETTE FROM, UH, MORRISON FROM GILLETTE TO BATES. 
          UH, CAN WE GET A LIST OF, UH, OF POTENTIAL PROJECTS FOR THIS 2 MILLION? IS IT GOING TO BE AT EACH DISTRICT LIKE IT WAS LAST TIME? SO IF WE COULD GET THAT IN THE FOLLOW UP. 
          THE OTHER IS, I'M GONNA MOVE OVER TO SLIDES 21 AND 22. 
          SO THIS WOULD PROBABLY BE FOR YOU, ROD. 
          UM, AND THEN 23. 
          BUT, UH, 21 AND 22, WHEN WE TALK, UH, AGAIN, I'M, I'M JUST GONNA HAVE TO, DASHBOARDS ARE GREAT, BUT I'M, AGAIN, THERE IS THIS DIGITAL DIVIDE. 
          THERE ARE RESIDENTS THAT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE, THE APP DASHBOARD, AND THEN IF WE GO OUT AND WE TELL THEM ABOUT THE DASHBOARD, THEY MAY NOT HAVE IT. 
          SO I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT AND WE DO NEED TO SERIOUSLY HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW WE ARE GOING TO ADDRESS THAT GAP. 
          WHAT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE WITH ALL THESE DRAINAGE PROJECTS IS WE PUT IN, UM, FOR, WE PUT IN THE OPTION FOR FIBER AND THEN SEE WHAT INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER WANTS TO PROVIDE IT, ESPECIALLY IN THESE AREAS THAT ARE, UH, UNDERSERVED THAT WE KNOW HAVE THE GAP THAT WE KNOW, UM, ARE TRYING TO GET, UH, CONNECTED TO THE AFFORDABLE, UM, CARE, THE, THE AFFORDABLE CONNECTIVITY PRO PROGRAM. 
          SO THAT'S JUST WHAT I'M PUTTING OUT THERE FOR THAT. 
          SO AGAIN, I, I DO WANNA SEE A VERY USER FRIENDLY DASHBOARD, BUT I DO WANNA ALSO WANT US TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT CONNECTED. 
          YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT. 
          AND THIS, THIS IS AN ADDITION TO WHAT WE ALREADY DOING. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE'RE STILL DOING DOOR HANGERS, WE'RE STILL KNOCKING ON DOORS. 
          WE HAVE STILL HAVING COMMUNITY MEETINGS, ALL THAT STUFF, WE'LL STILL. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN THE BOND PRO PROGRAM, 
          [03:05:01]
UH, 2017 BOND PROGRAM. 
          AS I LOOK AT THIS LIST AND I SEE THE STATS AND, AND WE DO THE MATH, THERE ARE SEVEN PROJECTS THAT JUST HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN STARTED. 
          IF WE COULD GET THE LIST OF THOSE SEVEN PROJECTS AND THEN OF THE 75 COMPLETE, THAT, THAT MEANS 45 ARE NOT COMPLETED, IF WE COULD GET THAT LIST. 
          'CAUSE JUST LOOKING AT WHAT YOU PROVIDED ON THIS SHEET, UH, AND, UH, WE, MY STAFF QUICKLY TRIED TO IDENTIFY THERE ARE THREE IN DISTRICT THREE, AND I DO HAVE A LETTER FROM, UH, MISSION SAN JOSE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, UH, REGARDING THE, UH, ROOSEVELT AVENUE. 
          AND THERE ARE FOUR IN DISTRICT FIVE, WHICH IS A NEIGHBOR OF MINE. 
          AND I JUST, AGAIN, WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS EQUITY LENS, AND MAYBE YOU'RE GONNA COME BACK AND TELL ME, IT'S BECAUSE DISTRICT THREE AND DISTRICT FIVE HAD THE MOST PROJECTS AND THESE WERE JUST THE LAST FEW THAT WE NEEDED TO, BUT I JUST DO NOT SEE IT BEING FAIR. 
          AND I HOPE WHEN WE GO INTO THE 2022 BOND, WE LOOK AT THE PROGRAMS AND THE PROJECTS AND IT'S NOT, UM, POSSIBLY DISTRICT THREE AND DISTRICT FIVE WAITING 10 YEARS FOR A BOND PROGRAM, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING AT IN SOME OF THE, THESE CASES. 
          SO, UH, I'D JUST LIKE AN UPDATE OF THE 45 THAT AREN'T COMPLETE AND THE SEVEN THAT WEREN'T EVEN LISTED. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND, AND YOU, AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT 2017 COUNCILWOMAN? YEAH. 
          THREE SLIDE 23 SLIDE 23. 
          YEAH. 
          I MEAN, BECAUSE MOST OF THOSE, I'M, AS I'M LOOKING AT THAT LIST, UM, ALL OF THEM, UH, LONE STAR BOULEVARD IS SITTING, UM, AND THERE'S NO PROGRESS ON IT AT THIS POINT. 
          'CAUSE IT WAS RELYING UPON A DEVELOPMENT THAT THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO, THAT IS SUPPOSED TO OCCUR IN THAT AREA. 
          SO IT'S WAITING TO BE COORDINATED. 
          UM, THERE IS ACTIVITY ON, UH, PRACTICALLY EVERY ONE OF THOSE ITEMS ON THERE NOW. 
          UM, FOR SOME, IN SOME REASON, IN SOME CASES, UM, LIKE THE DISTRICT FOUR HERITAGE COMMUNITY CENTER, UM, THE COUNCIL APPROVED AN AMENDMENT IN JUNE. 
          WE HAD SOME, UM, CONTRACTOR ISSUES THERE, SO WE HAD TO CHANGE CONTRACTORS. 
          UM, BUT WE'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO KIND OF DETAIL THAT AND, AND, UH, A QUICK EXPLANATION OF THE STATUS OF THOSE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          AND THEN ONE OTHER THING, AND I'LL JUST, I'LL SAVE A LITTLE BIT OF SPACE IN THE FOLLOW-UP MEMO REGARDING THE COOL PAVEMENT PHASE TWO, THE, THOSE PROJECTS WERE IDENTIFIED WORKING WITH THE COUNCIL OFFICES. 
          WE'LL DO THAT GOING FORWARD. 
          I WOULD, AND AND WE, YOU KNOW, I'M SURE THIS WILL BE A B SESSION CONVERSATION. 
          WE WILL LIKELY RECOMMEND THAT STREETS THAT ARE SELECTED HAVE SOME, UM, UM, RELATIONSHIP TO THE URBAN HEAT ISLAND MAP THAT U T SS A PRODUCES, SO THAT WE'RE STARTING TO AFFECT THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER VILLAGRA, AND COUNCIL MEMBER CASTILLO. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          IN LISTENING TO THE DISCUSSION, UH, AND ACKNOWLEDGING RIGHT THAT INFRASTRUCTURE IS PUBLIC SAFETY, RIGHT? AND WHAT I THINK OF WHEN I THINK OF AN EXAMPLE IS CROCKETT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS RECENTLY REDISTRICTED INTO DISTRICT FIVE AND RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ON MORALE STREET, THERE'S NO SIDEWALK ON NORTH, UH, ROSIO LEADING UP TO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. 
          THERE'S NO SIDEWALK. 
          AND OFTENTIMES WHAT I HEAR FROM SOME OF MY COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO LIVE ON COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS IS THAT THEY DON'T CALL QUALIFY FOR TRAFFIC CALMING BECAUSE IT'S A COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR. 
          UH, AND THEY CALL FOR THINGS LIKE A SPEEDOMETER OR, UM, A FLASHING STOP SIGN, RIGHT? AND JUST HEARING THE NEED FROM ALL OF MY COLLEAGUES FOR INFRASTRUCTURE, I, I WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF AN INCREASE FOR NAMP AND C I P, RIGHT? THIS IS FUNDING THAT EACH COUNCIL MEMBER HAS DISCRETION OVER, UM, TO BRING THESE MATERIAL NEEDS AND PUBLIC SAFETY NEEDS WITHIN OUR DISTRICTS. 
          UM, I, I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE INCREASE WE'RE SEEING, BUT I DO BELIEVE WE CAN MAKE A GREATER IMPACT AT ADDRESSING THE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS ALL THROUGHOUT OUR DISTRICTS. 
          SO I, I, I WANTED TO BE SURE THAT, UM, JUST ACKNOWLEDGING RIGHT, THAT THESE ARE, ARE MINOR, THEY'RE, THEY'RE IMPACTFUL, BUT THEY'RE MINOR IMPROVEMENTS LIKE FLASHING SIGNAGE, CROSSWALKS AND SO ON. 
          AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS WITH OUR SIDEWALK PROJECTS, WE'RE AHEAD OF TIMELINE. 
          IS THAT CORRECT? YES. 
          YES. 
          YES. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT, THAT'S, THAT'S REALLY HELPFUL TO SEE. 
          AND, AND I THINK AN INCREASE WOULD, WOULD BE EFFICIENT, RIGHT? MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE TACKLING MORE OF THOSE ISSUES. 
          BUT I WANTED TO BE SURE TO CHIME BACK IN AS WELL TO, UH, THANK, UH, ERIC AND THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT FOR THE NON-SERVICE ALLEYWAY FUND. 
          UH, ONE OF MY FIRST NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION MEETINGS, I HAD MR. YOUNG WHO LIVES, UH, IN FRONT OF HATTON STREET. 
          AND THAT WAS HIS PRIMARY CONCERN, WAS HIS NON-SERVICE ALLEYWAY. 
          THAT HE HAD BEEN, UH, SEEKING ASSISTANCE FOR QUITE SOME TIME WELL BEFORE I WAS HERE. 
          AND HE JUST WASN'T GETTING ANYWHERE. 
          AND WE WORKED WITH THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT TO FIND A 
          [03:10:01]
RESOLUTION. 
          AND I'D SAY ABOUT LIKE TWO MONTHS AGO, UM, HE, HE HAS THE, THE ALLEYWAY'S BEEN ADDRESSED, RIGHT? SO I WANNA THANK YOU AND YOUR TEAM FOR THAT, BUT THAT DEMONSTRATES THE NEED. 
          SO, SO AGAIN, RIGHT. 
          IT, IT TOOK ABOUT TWO YEARS FOR US TO GET HERE, BUT NOW WE'RE SEEING A, A, A NICE CHUNK OF FUNDING TO TACKLE THOSE NON-SERVICE ALLEYWAYS. 
          UH, MY HOPE IS THAT WITH THE C C R THAT OUR OFFICE SUBMITTED, THAT THERE'S OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD UPON THE MOMENTUM THAT YOU ALL HAVE ESTABLISHED WITH THIS PROPOSED BUDGET, UH, TO TACKLE MORE NON-SERVICE ALLEYWAYS. 
          THOSE ARE ALL MY COMMENTS. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER CASTILLO. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER WHITE. 
          YEAH. 
          WELL I WANTED TO THANK COUNCILWOMAN ROCHA GARCIA FOR HIGHLIGHTING THE, UH, CONS, FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE NATURE OF DISTRICT 10 AND HOW WE ARE, UH, PUTTING AS MUCH MONEY AS WE CAN BACK INTO THE DISTRICT. 
          UH, WANT TO THANK COUNCILMAN COURAGE FOR NOT BRINGING UP, UH, HB 2127 TODAY. 
          UM, IT'S NICE TO HAVE A, UH, A MEETING WITHOUT THAT, UM, NAMP MONEY. 
          UM, I AGREE IF WE COULD GET SOME MORE OF THAT, MAYBE MOVE SOME MONEY, UH, INTO NAMP FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE, UM, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. 
          'CAUSE THOSE ARE DOLLARS WE CAN AGAIN, PUT DIRECTLY INTO OUR DISTRICTS. 
          UM, LAST THING, PROJECT BACKLOG RAZZI, UM, ARE, ARE, DO WE HAVE A LOT OF PROJECTS THAT ARE, THAT ARE SITTING AROUND WAITING? HOW DO WE COMPARE TO 2017 IN TERMS OF THE BACKLOG OF, OF, OF PROJECTS? OF COURSE, COUNCILMAN, AS WE DEVELOPED THIS BOND PROJECT LESSON LEARNED, WE ALWAYS LEARN 2022 BOND WAS THE LARGEST. 
          WE HAD 1.2 BILLION 183 PROJECT. 
          AND OUR COMMITMENT FOR THE COMMUNITY WAS WE DELIVERED THE SAME FIVE YEARS AND WE TRIED TO SEE HOW WE ARE GOING TO DELIVER. 
          WE USE THE FEW OF THE PROJECT WAS ALREADY SHOWER ALREADY. 
          WE ADVERTISED THOSE. 
          WE USE SOME SMALLER SPECIALTY PARK PROJECT USE ON-CALL CONSULTING TO START DESIGNING THOSE BEFORE WE DO A MASS SELECTION. 
          WE HAD SOME PROJECT WE'RE ALREADY UNDER DESIGN. 
          WE PUSHED THOSE OUT AND WE ALSO DID A MASS SELECTION IS PRETTY CLOSE TO 400 PROJECT THAT REALLY EXPEDITES OUR PROCESS SIGNIFICANTLY. 
          CAN YOU IMAGINE IF WE HAD ADVERTISE THOSE A HUNDRED PROJECT ONCE PER WEEK? IT WAS GOING TO TAKE A HUNDRED WEEKS? YEAH, WE DID ALL OF THEM WITH ONE COUNCIL ORDINANCE. 
          MAJORITY OF THOSE PROJECT UNDER DESIGN. 
          AND OF COURSE, AS DESIGN IS COMPLETE, WE ARE PUSHING THOSE FOR CONSTRUCTION. 
          AND ALSO IN THE PAST, OUR PRACTICE REALLY HAS BEEN LOW BID BECAUSE WE GET MORE CHEAPER PRICE AND LOW BID, BUT WE MAY NOT GET GOOD CONTRACTOR FOR THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT. 
          NOW WE ARE REALLY LOOKING FOR MAYBE LOW BIT WILL BE SOME OF THEM QUALIFIED, LOW BIT COMPETITIVE SEAL PROPOSAL PRICE IS GOING TO BE LESS EFFECTIVE, MORE REALLY QUALITY OF THE CONTRACTOR DESIGN, BUILD AND C M R WE ARE LOOKING FOR ALL THESE FIVE OPTION TO PICK THE PROJECT IS BASED, ESPECIALLY IN DOWNTOWN AREA. 
          THAT'S THE LAST THING WE WANNA DO A LITTLE BIT PROJECT. 
          YEAH. 
          WELL MY, MY LAST JUST COMMENT ON THIS IS, AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT MORE OFFLINE, BUT IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO AS A COUNCIL IN TERMS OF POLICIES OR WHATEVER IT IS TO HELP SPEED UP THE PROCESS OF THESE THINGS, UM, I'M ALL FOR IT. 
          THANKS. 
          I THANK YOU. 
          UH, COUNCIL MEMBER WHITE, UM, THAT WILL BE THE LAST OF OUR DISCUSSION. 
          RAZZIE, JUST WANNA SAY YOU'RE DOING A FANTASTIC JOB,  AND, AND SURVIVING. 
          THOSE ARE GOOD NUMBERS GIVEN THE GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN CRUNCH THAT WE'VE GONE THROUGH OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. 
          SO EVERYBODY KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. 
          OBVIOUSLY ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT FOR ALL OF US. 
          UH, WE'LL IDENTIFY THOSE GOING FORWARD. 
          BUT, UH, GREAT JOB EVERYBODY TODAY. 
          MAYOR, ARE YOU GONNA TELL TROY YOU DID A GOOD JOB? ? I'VE ALREADY TOLD TROY. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          BECAUSE I'VE ALREADY TOLD TROY WHAT A ME WHAT A GREAT JOB HE IS DOING. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          TIME IS FIVE 16 ON 15TH OF AUGUST, 2023.
