          >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: GOOD AFTERNOON, IF YOU COULD MAKE YOUR WAY TO A SEAT, IDEALLY NOT ON THE FLOOR. THERE ARE PLENTY OF CHAIRS AVAILABLE TO YOU. THE TIME IS NOW 2:06 P.M. ON FEBRUARY 3RD, 2026, AND WE WILL CALL OUR MEETING TO ORDER. MADAM CLERK, CAN YOU 
          PLEASE READ THE ROLL? >> CLERK: 
          >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: WONDERFUL. WE WILL START OFF TODAY, WE HAVE THREE ITEMS ON 
          [Approval of Minutes
 ]
THE -- FOR BRIEFING AND POSSIBLE ACTION, BUT FIRST WE'LL GET TO APPROVAL OF THE MEETING MINUTES. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION 
          FOR THEIR APPROVAL. >> MUNGIA: MOTION TO APPROVE. 
          [Briefing and Possible Action on
 ]
          >> SECOND. >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: ALL IN FAVOR. 
          (AYES.) >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: WONDERFUL. WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM 2 WHICH IS A CCR BY COUNCILMEMBER ALDARETE GAVITO. 
          DO WE HAVE A PRESENTATION. >> REINHARDT: CHAIR AND COMMITTEE E FOR THE RECORD, ART REINHARDT, PUBLIC WORKS. 
          TODAY WE'RE GOING TO PROVIDE A BRIEF UPDATE ON THIS CCR THAT CAME ABOUT BY COUNCILMEMBER ALDARETE GAVITO, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE BACKGROUND. 
          THE CONSILL CONSIDERATION REQUEST WAS SUBMITTED BACK IN MAY OF LAST YEAR. IN SHORT, THE COUNCIL CONSIDERATION REQUEST FOCUSES ON CREATING A STREAMLINED PROCESS FOR PROACTIVE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN US AS A CITY AS WELL AS OUR PARTNERS WITH DIFFERENT AGENCIES AND TELECOMS AND TRYING TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION IN REALTIME. 
          AND THEN ALSO HOLDING EACH OTHER ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHEN WE HAVE THOSE HICCUPS. A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND, THE CCR WAS SUBMITTED BACK IN MAY AND WE PRESENTED TO THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE AND WERE REFERRED TO THE TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE, WHICH WE'RE HERE TODAY. 
          SO IN SHORT, WE PUT IS SUMMARY OF THE CCR ON THE SCREEN. 
          FOUR MAIN KEY POINTS B: BE PROACTIVE IN OUR COMMUNE DAITION, SETTING FORTH REQUIREMENTS FOR HOW AGENCIES COORDINATE NOT JUST WITH EACH OTHER BUT ALSO RESIDENTS AND OUR COUNCIL OFFICES, HOLDING EACH OTHER ACCOUNTABLE WHEN THERE'S A LACK OF COMMUNICATION, WHICH INCLUDES OURSELVES, AND ALSO COORDINATING WORK WHEN POSSIBLE. BEFORE I GO INTO HOW WE'RE GOING TO -- RIGHT OF WAY MANAGEMENT DIVISION. SO ESSENTIALLY WE'RE TASKED WITH MANAGING THE CITY'S RIGHT OF WAY, ALL OF THE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES THAT OCCUR ALL ACROSS THE CITY AND ALSO ENFORCING HOW THOSE ACTIVITIES ARE REPAIRED, HOW THE CONSTRUCTION IS REPAIRED GOVERNING THE RESTORATION OF TRENCHES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION FOR LAST YEAR, SO WE AS A CITY PERMITTED OVER ABOUT 18,000 DIFFERENT RIGHT OF WAY PERMITS. WHEN YOU BREAK IT DOWN BY WORKDAYS, THAT'S ABOUT 70 PERMITS A DAY COMING OUT OF THE TEAM, AND THE GOOD UTILITY COMPANIES, SAWS, CPS AND OUR TELECOMS, BUT YOU CAN SEE THERE WE ALSO PERMIT OUR OWN PROJECTS AND THEN THERE'S ALSO SPECIAL EVENTS AS WELL. 
          THE REGULATIONS THAT WE HAVE DATE BACK MANY YEARS BUT REALLY THE FIRST MAIN ORDINANCE WAS IN 2001, THAT WAS THE CREATION OF THE CITY'S RIGHT OF WAY ORDINANCE, THAT REALLY SPECIFIED HOW WEGOVEN OUR RIGHT OF WAY AND THE REQUIREMENTS OF HOW WE RESTORE OUR BACKFILL TRENCHES AND OTHER THINGS IN THE RIGHT OF WAY. ULTIMATELY WE CREATED THE UTILITY CRITERIA MANUAL. 
          THE MOST SUBSTANTIVE REVISION WAS IN 2016 THROUGH THE PROCESS WHERE WE STARTED REQUIRING CONTRACTORS TO PROVIDE SIGNAGE FOR THEIR PROJECTS AND OTHER ADVANCE NOTIFICATION. CURRENTLY TODAY, YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN KIND OF THE MAIN REQUIREMENTS THAT WE HAVE. 
          SO WE HAVE -- 30 DAYS AHEAD OF CONSTRUCTION, PEOPLE SUBMIT APPLICATION, WHICH WE CALL OUR PROJECT INFORMATION FORM, WHICH BREAKS DOWN WHO'S DOING THE WORK, WHAT IS THE WORK, THE EXPECTED TIME FRAME, ET CETERA. AND SEVEN DAYS PRIOR FOR OUR MAJOR TRAVELED ROADWAYS, THEY PROVIDE ADVANCED COMMUNICATION, DIGITAL MESSAGE SIGNAGE NOTIFYING PEOPLE IN THE AREA OF THE UPCOMING PROJECT, JUST PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION, DOOR HANGERS WILL GO ON, AND EVERY PROJECT SHOULD HAVE CONSTRUCTION SIGNAGE AND WHO TO CONTACT AND THE WORKERS OUT THERE SHOULD HAVE IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION ON THEIR GEAR EXPLAINING WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT PROJECT THEY'RE WORKING ON. WE ALSO HAVE REGULATIONS IN PLACE FOR VIOLATIONS, SO THE CURRENT VIOLATIONS ARE UP TO $600 PER DAY PER VIOLATION TYPE. YOU CAN SEE HERE AN EXAMPLE -- A COUPLE DIFFERENT EXAMPLES OF THE TYPE OF VIOLATIONS, SO IT COULD BE WORKING WITHOUT A PERMIT IF THEY DIDN'T GO THROUGH OUR PROCESS, TRAFFIC CONTROL IS INADEQUATE A LACK OF SIGNAGE OR IF THEY'RE RUNNING LONG AND DELAYING THE REGULARS STOR RAITION. JUST OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS, WE'VE TALLIED UP OVER $1.5 MILLION WORTH OF VIOLATIONS. 
          THE PROCESS WE HAVE IN PLACE IS REALLY A COORDINATION PROCESS, IT 
          [00:05:01]
COULD START UP TO SIX MONTHS AHEAD OF TIME FOR SOME OF OUR LARGER PROJECTS WHERE THE APPLICANT WILL SUBMIT THE PLANS FOR REVIEW. 
          AND THEN 30 DAYS AHEAD OF TIME, THEY'RE STARTING TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT INFORMATION FORM, PROVIDING INFORMATION IN MORE DETAIL, OUR TEAM WILL GO OUT AND VISUALLY INSPECT THE AREA, LOOK FOR CONFLICTS AS WELL AS LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT PLANS THAT ARE SUBMITTED AND ULTIMATELY WE'LL ISSUE A LETTER OF PROVISION AND PERMIT APPROVAL. 
          THAT'S OUR CURRENT PROCESS. THERE'S A LOT OF COORDINATION THAT GOES ON TODAY, CERTAINLY THERE'S THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT TO IMPROVE THAT, BUT JUST A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES, WE PROACTIVELY SHARE OUR ANNUAL INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT PLANS. 
          WE SHARE THAT OUTWARDS, AS WELL AS SAWS PROVIDES US WITH PLANNED PROJECTS. WE HAVE A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT MEETINGS, I'LL SHOW A FEW OF THEM ON THE SCREEN HERE IN A MINUTE BUT RANGING FROM WEEKLY MEETING FOCUSED ON DOWNTOWN CONSTRUCTION TO BIMONTHLY EXECUTIVE MEETINGS, AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF COORDINATION GOING ON. 
          WE ALSO -- I WANTED TO REALLY HIGHLIGHT THIS, THIS IS A TOOL THAT'S CURRENTLY OUT THERE, ALTHOUGH IT'S BURIED IN OUR WEBSITE, SO THIS MAP WE CALL OUR INFILL MAP. I'M STILL NOT SURE WHAT INFILL MEANS, BUT -- SO I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU ALL WOULD KNOW THAT EITHER, BUT ESSENTIALLY WHAT THIS MAP IS, IS ANY PERMIT THAT'S BEEN ISSUED SHOWS UP ON THIS MAP. 
          YOU CAN CLICK IT AND IT WILL BRING UP INFORMATION ON WHO'S DOING WHAT PROJECT, THE PLAN TIME AND WHO TO CONTACT. SO IT'S A PRETTY POWERFUL TOOL IF IT'S KEPT UPDATED, WHICH IS THAT'S ONE THING WE WORK ON. 
          AND THEN ALSO PROMOTED, WHICH LIKE I SAID, YOU CAN GET TO IT BY -- I THINK IT'S THREE OR FOUR DIFFERENT CLICKS OF A BUTTON THROUGH THE CITY'S PUBLIC WORKS WEBSITE. SO THERE'S SOME WORK THERE TO DO, BUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE Y'ALL KNEW THIS TOOL'S OUT THERE ALREADY, BUT I THINK THAT'S AN OPPORTUNITY WE HAVE TO ENHANCE THAT COMMUNICATION. 
          I MENTIONED A LITTLE BIT ON SOME OF THE MEETINGS THAT OCCUR LIKE I SAID RANGING FROM EVERY TUESDAY MORNING, THE TEAM'S FOCUSED ON DOWNTOWN STREET CLOSURES WE HAVE A VARIETY OF COORDINATION MEETINGS, BIMONTHLY WE'RE MEETING WITH SAWS AND OTHERS TO TALK BIG-PICTURE COORDINATION NEEDS, SO A LOT OF ACTIVITIES OCCURRING TO DATE. 
          ONE OF THE AREAS WE CAN IMPROVE ON IS THE EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION. 
          SO THESE ARE ISSUES THAT COME UP, LIKE WE HAD OVER THE WEEKEND IN DISTRICT SIX WHERE THERE WAS A WATER MAIN BREAK, SO THESE ARE HARD TO PLAN, RIGHT? THEY'RE RESPONSE ACTIVITIES, SO I THINK A LOT OF THE COORDINATION WE'RE DOING IS ON OUR PLANNED PROJECTS BUT THESE UNPLANNED PROJECTS IS WHERE WE'VE ALREADY IDENTIFIED A COUPLE OF OPPORTUNITIES. IN SHORT, WHAT HAPPENS IS, WHETHER IT'S A RESIDENT THAT REPORTS IT OR A COUNCILMEMBER THAT REPORTS IT, WHETHER IT'S SAWS OR CPS, WHOEVER HAS THE OUTAGE WILL GO OUT THERE AND START TO MAKE THE REPAIRS. THEN THEY'LL START TO GO THROUGH THE PERMIT PROCESS.  SO THAT INFILL MAP I MENTIONED, YOU WON'T SEE THAT IMMEDIATELY, IT MIGHT BE 24 HOURS THAT YOU'LL START TO SEE THAT INFORMATION ONLINE. CERTAINLY THE SITE WILL BE MADE SAFE AS FAR AS SIGNAGE AND BARRICADES FROM A TRAFFIC CONTROL PERSPECTIVE, BUT NOT NECESSARILY IDENTIFYING WHO'S DOING WHAT. SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE'LL TALK ABOUT NEXT.  AND THEN AFTER THE WORK IS COMPLETED, THEY WILL RESTORE THE RIGHT OF WAY, SO, AGAIN, GOING BACK TO THE EXAMPLE OVER THE WEEKEND, SAWS WENT OUT THERE, IMMEDIATELY AND STARTED ADDRESSING THAT ISSUE. THEY MADE THE LOCATION SAFE, PUT PLATES ON THE ROADWAY, NOW THEY'LL COME BACK AT A TIME TO THEN REPAIR THE ROADWAY, SO THAT'S HOW IT WORKS. ONE THING USUALLY CUSTOMERS RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES, I KNOW I GET SOME WHETHER IT'S CPS OR SAWS OR EVEN MY SPECTRUM HAS UTILITY OUTAGES, BUT THAT'S ONLY IF YOU'RE A CUSTOMER OF THAT AGENCY, NOT NECESSARILY SOMEONE THAT MAY LIVE NEXT DOOR THAT'S NOT A CUSTOMER. 
          SO THAT'S ONE DWAP THAT WE'VE -- GAP THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED. 
          HOW ARE WE GOING TO ADDRESS TO THIS MOVING FORWARD? I'VE ELUDED TO A COUPLE OF THINGS. WE'LL START WORKING ON THESE THINGS, WHETHER IT'S DOOR HANGERS THAT CAN BE PUT OUT THERE QUICKLY, NOTIFYING EMERGENCY WORK IS GOING ON AND WHO TO CONTACT, I GET A MESSAGE IF MY INTERNET'S OUT, BUT IF THINK NEIGHBOR'S NOT A CUSTOMER, THEY MAY NOT GET THAT NOTICE KNOWING WHY SOMEBODY'S WORKING I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF QUICK QUESTIONS ON Y'ALL'S P PROGRESS. 
          [00:10:50]
THE RIGHT OF WAY MEETINGS, I THINK IT'S -- I DON'T KNOW WHAT SLIDE IT WAS ON. SO IT'S KIND OF INTERESTING THAT, LIKE, GOOGLE CONSTRUCTION STATUS MEETINGS ARE BIWEEKLY AND AT&T AND OTHERS ARE QUARTERLY. WHAT'S THE REASON FOR THAT? AND ALSO LIKE SAWS BEING MONTHLY, I WOULD FEEL THAT SAWS IS ONE OF OUR 
          BIGGEST PAIN POINTS IN DISTRICT 7. >> REINHARDT: SO I WILL SAY -- I'M GOING TO ASK ANTHONY TO COME UP AND TALK THROUGH A MORE DETAILED PERSPECTIVE. SOME OF IT'S JUST BASED ON VOLUME AND ACTIVITIES, 
          BUT... ANTHONY? >> HELLO, EVERYONE. ANTHONY [INDISCERNIBLE] DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR PUBLIC WORKS AND I OVERSEE THE RIGHT OF WAY DIVISION. TO YOUR POINT, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF MEETINGS THAT WE HAVE WITH THE VARIOUS AGENCIES THAT ARE DOING WORK AT VARIOUS STAFFING LEVELS, PROJECT MANAGER LEVEL MEETINGS THAT HAPPEN WEEKLY, MONTHLY, DEPENDING ON WHAT'S GOING ON. THIS IS A MEETING THAT HAPPENS WITH THE RIGHT OF WAY DIVISION WHERE THE COMPANY COMES IN AND THEY SIT DOWN AND THEY GLO THROUGH SOME OF THE PLANNED PROJECTS THAT THEY HAVE. AND ADDRESS THOSE CHALLENGES. 
          >> GAVITO: UH-HUH. AND I KNOW Y'ALL WOULD KNOW BEST THIS -- THE FREQUENCY OF THESE MEETINGS. I CAN TELL YOU PROBABLY FROM -- AND I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK ON MY COLLEAGUE'S BEHALF, BUT STUFF IS NOT HAPPENING FREQUENTLY ENOUGH, BECAUSE WE'RE STILL FEELING THE PAIN POINTS, RIGHT? WE'RE STILL FEELING THE MISSES AND COORDINATION. AND SO MAYBE IT'S NOT NECESSARILY INCREASE IN THE FREQUENCY, BUT BEING MORE EFFECTIVE WITH THE COMMUNICATION THAT THEY'RE SHARING OR THAT WE'RE SHARING OR WHATEVER NEEDS TO HAPPEN, BECAUSE THIS IS STILL VERY MUCH A PAIN POINT. SO MY ASK THE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE NOT ONLY LOOK AT THE FREQUENCY, BUT THE INFORMATION THAT'S BEING SHARED AND KIND OF DO A GUT CHECK OR A COME TO JESUS OF, LIKE, THIS IS 
          THE RIGHT -- IS THIS THE RIGHT FORM. >> REINHARDT: THANK YOU. 
          JUST ONE COMMENT. I THINK SOME OF THE INFORMATION WE'RE LOOKING TO GET FROM THE SURVEY IS THAT COMMUNICATION AND THE FREQUENCY AND THEN 
          WHAT ARE WE DOING, IS THAT EFFECTIVE OR NOT. >> GAVITO: ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT I SEE THAT THE NEXT -- WELL, GOING TO THE LAST SLIDE OF PHASE 2 WINTER 2026, THAT SOUNDS WAY TOO FAR. IF WE CAN EXPEDITE THAT TIMELINE, BECAUSE I MEAN, ONE OF THE EASIEST RECOMMENDATIONS THAT I KNOW I'VE MENTIONED TO PUBLIC WORKS, AND I GET NEW LEADERSHIP AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF, IS SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS CLEARER SIGNAGE TO OUR RESIDENTS. YOU KNOW, THAT THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PROJECT IS, WHAT CONSTRUCTION IS -- YOU KNOW, WHAT IT IS. 
          I MEAN, TWITTER VERSION OF WHAT THE PROJECT IS, EXPECTED START DATE, END DATE. AND IF THEY WANT A QR CODE OR WEBSITE TO LOOK UP MORE, GO AHEAD AND NERD OUT, BUT, LIKE -- I MEAN, I EVEN LOOK AT SAWS SIGNS, AND I'M LIKE, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON, YOU KNOW, IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. SO THERE'S NO CONSISTENT SIGNAGE. 
          I KNOW SAWS IS ITS OWN SIGN AND EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING THEIR OWN SIGN, BUT THERE IS NO CONSISTENT SIGNAGE WITH JUST CLEAR INFORMATION OF WHAT IS HAPPENING. THEY DON'T NEED TO KNOW THE ENGINEERING VERSION OF WHAT IS HAPPENING, THEY NEED TO KNOW STREET REPAIR OR SAWS PIPE REPAIR, WHATEVER. AND AN EXPECTED TIMELINE, START AND END DATE, SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS THAT. I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO 
          WAIT FOR WINTER 2026 FOR. >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: IF I 
          MAY, COUNCILWOMAN, WINTER 2026 IS RIGHT NOW. >> GAVITO: I THOUGHT IT 
          WAS WINTER, LIKE DECEMBER 2026. >> TECHNICALLY THE WINTER 
          SOLSTICE IS DECEMBER -- >> GAVITO: GOT IT. THEN I DO LIKE THAT TIMELINE. SO, YOU KNOW, I WOULD DEFINITELY WANT TO SEE SOME OF THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS COME IN, AND ALSO, TOO, I THINK THAT THIS GOES TO JUST THE BIGGER BOINT OF BUILDING TRUST FROM RESIDENTS WITH THE CITY. YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I KNOW THAT WE'VE ALL SEEN THAT CONSTRUCTION HEADACHES, WE'VE BEEN FEELING THEM, WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE FEELING THEM WITH BOND PROJECTS AND EVERYTHING THAT'S COMING UP, BUT SO THE CLEARER, MORE TRANSPARENT WE ARE WITH THE RESIDENTS -- AND ALSO STICKING TO THOSE ECK EXPECTATIONS, I THINK, IS GOING TO GO A LONG WAY. 
          [00:15:04]
          >> REINHARDT: AND COUNCILWOMAN, I DON'T WANT TO DISCOUNTER YOUR THOUGHTS BECAUSE IT'S CLEAR THAT THERE'S GAPS. I THINK SOME OF THE THINGS -- THERE'S JUST A DIFFERENCE IN SOME OF THE TYPES OF PROJECTS WE DO. 
          UNLIKE A LARGE CAPITAL PROJECT WHERE EVERYTHING'S JOINED IN AND IT'S ALL THERE, WE DO OURS ALMOST IN WAVES, RIGHT? SO WE WILL PROVIDE SAWS, AS AN EXAMPLE OR IMP FOR THAT YEAR, AND THEN MONTHS AHEAD OF TIME -- OR EVEN GOOGLE. MONTHS AHEAD OF TIME THEY'LL START MOVING STUFF, SO RESIDENTS WILL SEE ACTIVITY. 
          THEN THEY MAY NOT SEE ANYTHING FOR A COUPLE MONTHS, AND THEN WE'LL COME IN. OR EVEN OUR OWN, LIKE WHEELCHAIR RAMPS AS AN EXAMPLE. AS WE'RE PLANNING OUT SOME OF OUR PRESERVATION WORK, THE YEAR BEFORE WE'RE DOING -- GOES BACK TO THE COMMUNICATION AND MAKING SURE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND 
          THAT. >> GAVITO: AND THAT'S THE THING, IN THE BUSINESS WORLD WE CALL IT USER EXPERIENCE. I THINK SINCE I'VE BECOME A COUNCILMEMBER, I CALL IT RESIDENT EXPERIENCE, THEY DON'T CARE WHAT PHASE OR PHASES OR WHO OR WHAT, MAY JUST WANT TO KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS HAPPENING AND THE TIMELINE. AND I THINK THAT'S VERY SIMPLE INFORMATION THAT WE CAN SHARE. IT DOESN'T -- YOU KNOW, WE OFTEN TALK ABOUT, LIKE, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES MY TEAM'S LIKE, WELL, WE HAVE TO WORK FOR NAMPF FUNDING OR CIP FUNDING, RESIDENTS DON'T CARE, THEY JUST WANT TO KNOW WHEN THE PROJECT'S GOING TO GET DONE AND THAT'S IT. SOMETIMES I FEEL WE GET IN OUR OWN WAY, YOU KNOW, WE GET IN OUR -- I MEAN, I KNOW I'M SPEAKING TO ENGINEERS, BUT WE JUST KIND OF GET IN OUR WAY AND I THINK THAT RESIDENTS, WE JUST NEED TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE RESIDENT EXPERIENCE AND THEY WANT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEY WANT TIMELINES. 
          THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, CHAIR. 
          >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: THANK YOU, COUNCILWOMAN. COUNCILWOMAN DR. KAUR? 
          >> KAUR: THANK YOU, CHAIR. THANK YOU, ART, FOR THE PRESENTATION. I WANT TO THANK COUNCILWOMAN ALDARETE GAVITO FOR DRAFTING AND SIGNING THIS CCR, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR A REALLY LONG TIME. WE TRIED TO DO AN MOU WITH SAWS AND CPS FOR THIS 2022 BOND PROJECTS THAT MANY OF US PASSED TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS BETTER ACCOUNTABILITY AND COMMUNICATION. 
          I KNOW WE'VE ALSO SEPARATED THE PROBABILITIES OUT, AND I -- PROJECTS OUT AND I'LL START WITH THE PROJECT THAT YOU MENTIONED. WE'RE ALL VERY AWARE THAT THERE'S DIFFERENT LEVELS OF PROJECTS IT COULD TAKE ONE TO TWO DAYS, MILL AND OVERLAY, THAT COULD TAKE A LITTLE LONGER AND THEN YOU HAVE YOUR FULL RECONSTRUCTION WHICH WILL TAKE FOREVER. I THINK WE'VE GOTTEN A LITTLE BITTER AT 
          COMMUNICATION -- HUH? TECHNICALLY, FOREVER. >> KAUR: TECHNICALLY. 
          IF YOU ASK THE FOLKS ON SOUTH ALAMO, THEY WILL SAY FOREVER. 
          SO THE QUESTION, THOUGH, BECOMES WHAT IS THE RIGHT LEVEL OF COMMUNICATION FOR EACH OF THOSE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROJECTS. 
          AND I DON'T THINK THAT IS THE PART THAT WE HAVE FULLY CAPTURED YET, IS THAT IF A PROJECT IS A ONE-DAY PROJECT, WHAT DOES COMMUNICATION LOOK LIKE VERSUS IF A PROJECT IS A THREE-MONTH LONG PROJECT OR A YEAR-LONG. 
          AND I THINK TO WHAT COUNCILWOMAN IS SAYING IS REGARDLESS OF -- EVEN IF IT'S JUST A MILL AND OVERLAY, WE SHOULD STILL HAVE SOME LEVEL OF COMMUNICATION, EVEN IF THAT'S JUST A SIGN. SO I'M GOING TO DOUBLE DOWN ON HER REQUEST FOR SIGNAGE. THERE CAN NEVER BE ENOUGH SIGNAGE, EVEN IF IT'S JUST A SIGN IN THE RIGHT OF WAY. 
          SO SAWS DOES -- THE SAWS ONES THAT I'VE SEEN ARE LIKE -- THEY'RE BIGGER, BUT THE FONT IS SMALL AND IT'S STILL LIKE -- I THINK WE JUST NEED TO HAVE SOMEONE WHO IS A DESIGN PROFESSIONAL LOOK AT WHAT GOOD, EASY SIGNAGE CAN LOOK LIKE. I PERSONALLY THINK WE SHOULD LOOK AT INVESTING IN DIGITAL OPTIONS THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO CHANGE WHAT IS ACTUALLY BEING DONE; THAT WAY THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT WASTING DOLLARS TO SEE IF THERE'S OPTIONS. SAWS VERY CLEARLY, START DATE, END DATE, PROJECT MANAGER, PHONE NUMBER. I THINK IF WE PUT THOSE FOUR THINGS DOWN, IT WOULD AT LEAST HELP PEOPLE AND WE COULD INVEST IN THAT. 
          I KNOW MANY OF US WOULD SUPPORT THAT FOR A BOOND. 
          AND JOHN AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT DIGITAL SIGNAGE FOR A REALLY LONG TIME, TO SEE WHAT'S POSSIBLE THERE, SO I THINK WE SHOULD LOOK AT THAT AS AN OPTION. AS FAR AS THE INFILL MAP, OH, MY GOD, WHEN I SAW THIS, I HAD NO IDEA THIS EXISTED. IT'S GREAT. 
          IT'S GREAT. BECAUSE IT'S REALLY NOT AN INFILL MAP, WE SHOULD RENAME IT. BUT REGARDLESS, THE PROBLEM OF THE MAP IS IT'S BASED ON WHEN YOU'RE AT -- APPLYING FOR A PERMIT. 
          AND SO DSD GETS THE DATA FROM SAWS THAT SAYS, OKAY, THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE NEXT YEAR. AND SO WHEN WE WENT AND LOOKED ON IT, THERE WAS CONSTRUCTION HAPPENING THAT'S NOT ACTUALLY REFLECTED THAT THE CONSTRUCTION IS HAPPENING, BECAUSE THEY WILL APPLY FOR A PERMIT SIX MONTHS OUT. AND SO I THINK WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT A BETTER WAY TO -- AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE, BUT WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT A DIFFERENT WAY TO INPUT DATA THAT'S MORE REALTIME, AND IT HAS TO INCLUDE START AND STOP DATES. 
          THE CHALLENGE FOR OUR OFFICE IS THEY WOULD CALL US AND SAY WHAT IS THIS CONSTRUCTION HAPPENING AND WE DON'T KNOW. THEN WE HAVE TO GO AND DECIPHER, IF WE COULD JUST BE ABLE TO FILTER BY LIKE CURRENT PROJECTS, LIKE ACTIVE CONSTRUCTION AND SEE ALL OF THE ACTIVE CONSTRUCTION. 
          [00:20:03]
THAT WOULD BE IDEAL, I KNOW IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE HARDER TO GATHER, BUT IF WE CAN FIND A WAY TO HAVE THEM REPORT WHEN THEY'RE ACTUALLY STARTING. 
          THE OTHER PROBLEM WITH SAWS -- SORRY, THIS IS NOT ONLY MEANT TO BE SAWS PROJECTS, BUT THE OTHER CHALLENGE WITH SAWS PLOJTS IS THEY'LL DO MULTIPLE STREETS IN ONE PACKAGE. IT WILL SAY 23 OR FOUR DIFFERENT STREETS ARE HAPPENING IN THIS ONE PACKAGE  AND THEY GET A PERMIT FOR ALL OF THOSE. SO YOU STILL DON'T KNOW WHICH STREET IS HAPPENING WHEN, SO I THINK WE SHOULD FIGURE OUT A WAY TO TRACK THAT. 
          OKAY. THAT'S COMMUNICATION. ON THE VIOLATION SIDE SO WE'VE HAD A LOT OF SITUATIONS WHERE FOLKS HAVE NOT COMPLETED THE WORK -- NOT NOT COMPLETED THE WORK, BUT DONE A SHODDY JOB ON THEM. 
          ARE THE FINES FIXED AT 600? >> REINHARDT: THAT'S SET BY ORDINANCE UP TO 600, AND THAT'S PER VIOLATION, PER DAY. 
          >> KAUR: I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD -- I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD LOOK AT THAT. 
          THE NATURE OF THE BEAST IS WE HAVE TO GO LOW BID CONTRACTOR, AND WE 
          SHOULD, I THINK, LOOK AT SCALABLE ACCOUNTABILITY. >> REINHARDT: THAT'S FOR A FINE OF THE RIGHT OF WAY. YOU MENTIONED LOW BID 
          CONTRACTOR, SO IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS. >> KAUR: THIS IS JUST FOR 
          A RESIDENT DOING RIGHT OF WAY. >> NO, THIS WOULD BE GOOGLE FIBER OR AT&T USING THE RIGHT OF WAY. IF THEY'RE NOT FOLLOWING THE RIGHT OF WAY ORDINANCE AND THERE'S AN ISSUE THAT HAS TO BE RESOLVED THE FINE IS UP TO $600. WE CAN DEFINITELY TAKE A LOOK AT IT AS A PART OF THE WORK WE'RE DOING NOW. 
          >> KAUR: I'M SORRY, I MISUNDERSTOOD THAT. >> SAWS CONTRACTOR, THOSE 
          FOLKS. >> KAUR: SO, FOR EXAMPLE, IF GOOGLE -- SO TELL ME WHAT WILL QUALIFY AS A VIOLATION FROM GOOGLE IN THAT SENSE. 
          >> REINHARDT: YEAH, SO IT COULD BE -- I HAD A FEW EXAMPLES, BUT ANYTHING FROM WORKING WITH -- SO IF SOMEONE JUST GOES AND STARTS TO DIG IN OUR RIGHT OF WAY WITHOUT PULLING A PERMIT, WE CAN FINE THEM UP TO $600 A DAY UNTIL THEY'RE IN COMPLIANCE. IF THEY HAVE INADEQUATE TRAFFIC CONTROL OR ANY -- THERE'S A VARIETY OF FACTORS, SO, AGAIN, THIS 
          IS FOR RIGHT OF WAY PERMITS. >> KAUR: SO IF WE UPDATED WHAT WE REQUIRE FOR SIGNAGE AND THEN THEY DID NOT FOLLOW THAT, THEN 
          THAT WOULD BE -- >> RIGHT NOW THEY'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE SIGNAGE BASED ON WHAT'S IN THE ORDINANCE. IF WE MODIFY THAT AND 
          THEY DON'T FOLLOW IT THEN -- >> KAUR: WHAT'S EXACTLY IN THE ORDINANCE FOR REQUIREMENTS FOR SIGNAGE -- OR CAN YOU 
          FOLLOW UP WITH ME ON THE TEXT. >> REINHARDT: SURE. 
          IT'S CONTRACTOR NAME, INFORMATION AND CONTACT INFORMATION. 
          >> KAUR: AND DO WE CLARIFY HOW MANY OR WHERE EXACTLY THEY NEED TO BE? 
          >> REINHARDT: I BELIEVE IT'S JUST AT THE PROJECT LIMITS. 
          ONE THING WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LIKE CALVE TAL AVENUE IS LONG PROJECTS LIKE THAT -- CAPITAL AVENUE, LONG PROJECTS LIKE THAT FOR OUR OWN, WE 
          NEED TO HAVE LONG-TERM SIGNAGE OUT THERE. >> KAUR: IF YOU WOULD SEND ME A FOLLOW-UP SO WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THE SIGNAGE THING. 
          YOU DIDN'T HAVE A SLIDE ON HERE ON LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR CONTRACTORS, 
          DID YOU? >> REINHARDT: NO, THIS IS STRICTLY FOR THE RIGHT OF WAY ORDINANCE.  I'M SURE MIKE SHANNON WILL BE HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT THAT 
          WHEN HE COMES UP. >> KAUR: I KNOW HE'S BEEN WORKING ON THAT. 
          IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT HOW WE TRACK LIQUIDATED WHICH CONTRACTD WHICH PROJECTS -- LIKE I HAVE NEVER EVEN SEEN -- I'VE NEVER SEEN A DWRAF GRAPH THAT SHOWS THAT. SO, YES, I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT. AND THEN FOR THE DATA ACCOUNTABILITY, IS THIS 
          THE CONSTRUCTION SURVEY WE WERE LOOKING AT. >> REINHARDT: IT'S WHAT WE SENT TO OUR UTILITY PARTNERS. WE'RE HAVING MEETINGS WITH THEM AND THEN KIND OF THE GIST OF IT IS WE WILL I'LL JUST PUBLIC THE SURVEY THAT YOU GAVE ME FEEDBACK ON, SO WE WANTED TO GIVE A SURVEY OF CONSTITUENTS ACROSS THE CITY AND ASK THEM HOW THEY WANT TO LEARN ABOUT CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS, SO WE ASKED ART TO HELP GIVE US SOME DRAFT LANGUAGE AND WE'RE GOING POST IT ON SA SPEAK UP AND THOUGHT EVERYBODY COULD SEND IT OUT TO CONSTIT SENTS, SO I'M SURE THAT THEY WILL SEND THAT OUT WHEN IT'S READY, BUT JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT. THANKS, CHAIR. 
          >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: REAL QUICK, CAN YOU GO TO SLIDE 9 FOR ME. 
          SO THESE ARE MEETINGS IN WHICH CITY STAFF ARE PRESENT. 
          >> REINHARDT: THESE ARE MEETINGS WE'RE LEADING. >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: WE'RE LEADING. AND SO DOES SOMEBODY KEEP NOTES RELATED TO ALL THESE MEETINGS? LIKE IS THERE INFORMATION AVAILABLE FROM THESE 
          MEETINGS AS THEY HAPPEN? >> REINHARDT: YEAH. >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: IS IT POSSIBLE THAT SHOULD -- I DON'T KNOW THAT COUNCILMEMBERS NECESSARILY WANT TO BE INUNDATED WITH A BUNCH OF INFORMATION THEY DON'T REALLY WANT, BUT PERHAPS FOR SOME OF THESE, ESPECIALLY IF DISTRICTS 
          [00:25:04]
ARE PARTICULARLY CONCERNED OR IMPACTED BY THINGS THAT ARE DISCUSSED AT THESE MEETINGS, I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL IF YOU GUYS COULD SHOW THOSE ONCE THOSE NOTES ARE MADE. THAT JUST STUCK OUT TO ME BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW THAT ALL OF THESE MEETINGS WERE HAPPENING 
          AT THIS FREQUENCY. COUNCILMEMBER MUNGIA? >> MUNGIA: THANK YOU. 
          I'LL START OFF AND I WON'T MENTION SAWS, BECAUSE I THINK MY COLLEAGUES HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB OF TALKING ABOUT THAT. 
          I'LL SAY A COUPLE COMPLIMENTS. I GET REALLY GOOD E-MAILS FROM JENEVIEVE AND MARCOS ON PUBLIC WORKS ABOUT RIGHT OF WAY PROJECTS ACTUALLY IN MY DISTRICT, SO, YOU KNOW, I'VE GOT ONE HERE, RIGHT OF WAY PROJECT INFORMATION SHEET WITH A PERMIT NUMBER, THE TITLE, THE SCOPE, THE LIMITS THE DURATION AND A ACCOUNT FOR THE PERSON WHO'S PULLING THE PERMIT, WHICH IS REALLY HELPFUL. THIS ONE HAPPENS TO BE MCI METRO, BRIAN GOLD, IT LOOKS LIKE WITH VERIZON. THAT'S HELPED ME IN THE PAST, WHEN I HAVE RESIDENTS CALL, I LOOK UP THE STREET ON MY E-MAIL -- AUDIO] -- I APPRECIATE THEY SEND THOSE TO US, AND THAT'S FOR ALL SORTS OF PERMITS, RIGHT OF WAY PERMITS THAT COME UP. I THINK THAT IS GOOD AND STREAMLINING THAT TYPE OF COMMUNICATION TO OUR OFFICE IS HELPFUL. 
          SO THEY DON'T JUST PUT ME ON THERE, THEY ALSO PUT OUR STAFF, RIGHT, TO KIND OF KEEP TRACK OF SOME OF THOSE RIGHT OF WAY PERMITS IN OUR DISTRICTS. I'LL SHIFT A LITTLE BIT TO ONE ISSUE I SEE A LOT IN MY DISTRICT. IT'S WITHIN THE RIGHT OF WAY WITH UTILITIES, AND IT'S ACTUALLY MORE OF OUR, YOU KNOW, INTERNET OR PHONE PROVIDER. 
          SO YOU'LL SEE AROUND TOWN SOME OF THOSE BOXES THAT THEY HAVE IN THE RIGHT OF WAY THAT ARE JUST COMPLETELY DAMAGED. I HAD ONE WHERE A CAR HIT IT IN INDIAN CREEK AND IT WAS JUST LEFT THERE DAMAGED FOR MONTHS, RIGHT, AND LUCKILY MY PREDECESSOR NEW SOMEONE AT AT&T, THEY CALLED AND IT GOT TAKEN CARE OF. I'VE SEEN SO MANY OF THOSE WHERE IT'S DAMAGED OR YOU CAN TELL THERE'S BEEN SOME SORT OF VANDALISM AND THEY JUST STAY THERE. SO WHAT RESOURCE, WHAT RECOURSE DO WE HAVE 
          WITHIN THIS TO LOOK AT THOSE ISSUES? >> REINHARDT: YEAH. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE A FINE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT WE AS WE GET THOSE INQUIRIES, I REMEMBER IN THE PAST, WE WOULD SEND -- WE HAD A BIG EFFORT DOWNTOWN TO TRY TO TAKE CARE OF THINGS LIKE THAT, SO CERTAINLY IF THEY'RE IDENTIFIED, WE CAN REACH OUT TO OUR UTILITY 
          PARTNERS TO PROVIDE THAT. >> MUNGIA: YEAH, I THINK THE FEEDBACK AT THE TIME WE HAD WAS WHOEVER THAT PERSON WAS FOR AT&T DIDN'T HAVE AN ACTIVE OPEN PERMIT, SO THERE WASN'T SOMETHING IN PLACE WHERE WE COULD GO AND SAY BEFORE YOU DO -- BEFORE WE GIVE YOU THIS, YOU HAVE TO FIX THIS. AND SO THEIR VP HELPED OUT IN THAT SITUATION. 
          BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BECAUSE I THINK, ESPECIALLY AS WE MOVE TO FIBER AND OTHER, YOU KNOW, STREAMS OF COMMUNICATION, I THINK THOSE BOXES WILL START TO BECOME MORE OBSOLETE AND JUST, YOU KNOW, OUT THERE. AND IF SOME OF THOSE BOXES DON'T NEED TO BE THERE, THEN THEY SHOULD BE REMOVED BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST AN ISSUE FOR THE COMMUNITY. SO IF YOU CAN LOOK AT ONE ALSO ON FIVE PALMS AND ELM VALLEY, I THINK THAT'S AN ISSUE RIGHT THERE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM A SCHOOL THAT'S PRETTY BAD PROBLEM, SO... BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S ONGOING WITH SAWS AND CONSTRUCTION, SO I KNOW Y'ALL ARE WORKING ON THAT, AND HOPEFULLY YOU'LL GET SOME GOOD FEEDBACK FOR US AND LOOK FORWARD TO THAT. 
          THANK YOU. >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN. 
          COUNCILMEMBER SPEARS? >> SPEARS: THANK YOU, CHAIR. 
          HEY, ART. I WANT TO SAY THIS IS A GREAT CCR, COUNCILWOMAN. 
          THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I IMMEDIATELY WAS HEARING ABOUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL AND THEN ALSO CONTINUE TO HEAR ABOUT. I'M GOING TO DOUBLE DOWN ON WHAT COUNCILMAN MUNGIA SAID, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ANSWER IS. 
          I HAVE AN ISSUE WHERE IT'S PARAGON CABLE BOXES, AND THEY'RE DEFUNCT, SO I DON'T KNOW WHO'S RESPONSIBLE AT THIS POINT FOR THOSE, BUT, YEAH, THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S JUST GONE AND OBSOLETE AND IF THEY'RE NOT EVEN A PROVIDER ANYMORE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE DO WITH THAT AND WHO'S RESPONSIBLE, I GUESS BECAUSE IT'S IN OUR RIGHT OF WAY, MAYBE IT IS US, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE DO WITH THAT. BUT I WAS GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT UP. 
          SO I WAS THINKING A LOT HAS BEEN SAID THAT I WAS ALREADY THINKING ABOUT, BUT, YOU KNOW, SO HERE'S WHERE I'M THINKING, TOO: A LOT OF THESE PROJECTS YOU'RE DRIVING WHEN YOU SEE THEM. AND MAYBE JUST A REALLY SIMPLE COLOR CODING SYSTEM OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT WHERE YOU KNOW -- YOU SEE BLUE, ITS SAWS. YOU SEE BLUE AND ORANGE, IT'S SAWS AND CPS. 
          YOU KNOW, LIKE QUICK, QUICK. I KNOW WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO SAY ALL THE OTHER INFORMATION, I GET THAT, AND LIKE WE HAVE ONE GOING ON NEAR MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND IT IS VERY HARD TO READ THE SIGN. I APPRECIATE THE SIGNS. Y'ALL DID DELIVER AND GO DOOR-TO-DOOR AND EVERYONE'S HAPPY, BUT IT'S JUST HARD TO VISUALLY, WHEN YOU'RE, YOU KNOW, DRIVING THROUGH. 
          AND THEY IMMEDIATELY THINK IT'S OUR OFFICE, AND THEN THEY CALL AND 
          [00:30:02]
THEN WE'VE GOT TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW? SO IT'S THE SAME OF WHAT YOU'VE BEEN HEARING. BUT -- AND TO THE EXTENT WE CAN HELP IN SOCIAL MEDIA, I SPEAK SPECIFICALLY ABOUT NEXT DOOR, ONLY BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE I REALLY HEAR IT IS NEXT DOOR. 
          AND THEN HOW WE CAN USE IT IN NEWSLETTERS, BUT IF WE CAN BE A GOOD FILTER, WE WANT TO DO THAT AND -- OR IF -- I KNOW IT'S HARD FOR Y'ALL TO KIND OF MANAGE SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT I ALSO WANTED TO SAY I'M AWARE THAT WEATHER AFFECTS A LOT OF THESE PROJECTS AND EXTENDS THE TIME, AND I'VE HAD TO HELP RESIDENTS REALLY UNDERSTAND WHEN IT RAINS, THEN NO ROADWORK FOR TWO WEEKS, OR IF IT'S COLD -- OR NO STUDIES IN THE SUMMER, THEN WE GET -- YOU KNOW, THE LOGISTICS THAT WE DO UNDERSTAND, BUT OUR RESIDENTS DON'T. SO HAVING AN OUT TO TALK TO NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS IS SUPER HELPFUL, TOO. AND IF WE HAVE A BUNDLE OF PROJECTS, MAYBE WE SCHEDULE THESE THINGS A LITTLE MORE FREQUENTLY TO TALK TO SOME OF OUR BIGGER GROUPS WOULD BE NICE. 
          I KNOW -- SO YOU SAID -- DID YOU SAY YOU GIVE THEM LIKE A YEARLY PLAN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR TO EVERYBODY, AND THEN Y'ALL JUST FOLLOW UP WITH THESE 
          MEETINGS, IS THAT HOW IT WORKS? >> REINHARDT: THAT'S CORRECT. SO AS WE'RE PROGRAMMING OUR IMP, WE'RE COMMUNICATING THAT. SO AS AN EXAMPLE, IF SAWS OR CPS, TYPICALLY FOR OUR RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS, THEY JOIN BIDS. SO WE'RE TELLING THEM A YEAR AHEAD OF TIMES AT LEAST SO THEY CAN PLAN FOR THAT. 
          PROJECTS. I THINK IT'S FOR THESE UNPLANNED PROJECTS, MAYBE WE DON'T DO GOOD ENOUGH WITH -- HAVE JUST FINISHED DOING SOMETHING ON A STREET THERE, SO THERE'S THINGS LIKE THAT THAT WE'VE GOT TO GET TO.  AND ULTIMATELY GOING BACK TO THE POINT OF I THINK MOST OF OUR RESIDENTS KNOW ABOUT 3-1-1, RIGHT, SO WE NEED TO MAKE THAT SAME AWARENESS FOR WHO'S DIGGING ON MY STREET, RIGHT? SO WHETHER THAT'S THROUGH 3-1-1 OR SOME OTHER MESSAGE, JUST KNOWING IF THEY SEE CONSTRUCTION, THEY CAN GO CHECK REAL 
          QUICK AND FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT WAS. >> SPEARS: I LIKE THAT. 
          THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. AND I AGREE THAT THE INFILL MAP IS GREAT, BUT TO THE EXTENT WE COULD IMPROVE THE WAY THAT THAT'S USED, JUST TO MAKE IT MORE SIMPLIFIED WOULD BE NICE. AND THEN... OH, ON THE -- OKAY. SO DO Y'ALL HAVE ISSUES WITH THE LINE LOCATING AS BEING BETWEEN LIKE YOUR PARTNERS WITH GOOGLE OR -- I MEAN, ARE THEY 
          DOING THAT REALLY WELL? >> REINHARDT: AS FAR AS LOCATING UNDERGROUND LINES? I MEAN, I THINK FOR THE MOST PART -- CERTAINLY WITH ANY PROJECT, YOU OFTEN UNCOVER THINGS THAT YOU WEREN'T AWARE OF AT THE TIME, BUT I HAVEN'T BEEN MADE AWARE OF ANY BIG ISSUES TO BRING 
          FORWARD YET. >> SPEARS: OKAY. I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF THERE WAS A FINE STRUCTURE FOR THAT IF THEY'RE NOT -- LIKE IF THEY DON'T -- IT SEEMS LIKE THAT HAPPENS MAYBE A LOT OUT IN MY DISTRICT WHERE THEY HIT A LINE, THAT THEY -- THEY'RE OFF BY LIKE 3 FEET. 
          AND THAT CREATES A WHOLE NEW PROBLEM FOR ALL OF US, RIGHT? AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S U.S. IC OR WHOEVER IT IS, BUT  I DON'T KNOW WHAT RECOURSE WE HAVE THERE WHEN THOSE ERRORS HAPPEN, THEY ARE DEVASTATING TO THE PROJECT. I KNOW, RIGHT? THEY REALLY RUIN IT, SO... YEAH. I THINK THAT'S IT FOR ME. BUT, YEAH, WE'D LOVE TO HELP ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA SITE TO PUSH OUT AS MUCH AS WE CAN AND INFORMATION. 
          AND ANY OTHER IDEAS THERE, BUT I WAS INITIALLY WITH THE COLOR CODING, I HEAR ABOUT THE DIGITAL, TOO, BUT IF THEY COULD JUST KNOW IT'S THESE THREE OR JUST THIS ONE BY COLOR, WE COULD EDUCATE THEM ON WHAT THESE MEANS AND MAYBE EVEN LOGOS LIKE GOOGLE COULD PUT THEIR LOGO ON SOMETHING, I DON'T KNOW. BUT THAT'S IT FOR ME. THANKS. 
          >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER. ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS? 
          OKAY. >> 
          >> KAUR: I WANTED TO DOUBLE DOWN ON THAT COLOR CODING IDEA. 
          I THINK COUNCILMEMBER MCGEE-RODRIGUEZ CAME UP WITH IT A COUPLE MEETINGS AGO. REMEMBER, YOU GOT MAD AT ME BECAUSE I SAID ACTUALLY. I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE MEETINGS BECAUSE BOTH COUNCILMAN ALDARETE GAVITO AND COUNCILMEMBER MUNGIA MENTIONED IT, I AGREE, IF YOU READ THE BOOK DEATH BY MEETINGS, MEETINGS CAN BE GREAT UNLESS THEY'RE FACILITATED WITH PURPOSE AND EFFICIENCY. 
          I THINK WHAT HAPPENED -- AND THE REASON WHY I KNOW THIS IS WE ALL TALKED ABOUT THIS ONE PROJECT THAT DIDN'T ACTUALLY GET COMMUNICATED FROM ONE 
          [00:35:04]
ENTITY TO THE OTHER, IT'S BECAUSE OF THOSE SMALL PROJECT. 
          IT'S NOT THE BIG CORE PROJECTS THAT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE OTHER PERSON IS DOING, IT'S THE SMALL ONE-OFF PROJECTS THAT LOOK LACK THE COORDINATION. AND SO HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THAT IN THAT SLEW OF MEETINGS EVERY TIME WE'RE MEETING IT'S NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT THE SOUTH ALAMOS AND THE ZONAS EVERY TIME, BUT WE'RE ALSO THINKING ABOUT IN THE URBAN CORE, ARE WE MILLING AND OVERLAYING THE SAME STREET THREE TIMES? AND SO THAT'S JUST THE THING THAT I WANTED TO DOUBLE DOWN ON. 
          JUST LET ME KNOW THAT Y'ALL WILL BE BACK TO PRESENT AGAIN SOMETIME BEFORE THE SUMMER S SOLSTICE, AS LONG AS IT'S BEFORE JULY, I THINK 
          WE'RE FINE. >> REINHARDT: JUNE 21ST. >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: I SAID YOU SAID IT. OKAY. SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO ITEM 3 -- OKAY. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND GO ON TO THE PRESENTATION. 
          >> SHANNON: ALL RIGHT. GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIR AND COUNCILMEMBERS, BEFORE I GET STARTED, COUNCILWOMAN HAS MENTIONED SOUTH ALAMO TWICE ALREADY AND I 
          HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED MY PRESENTATION, SO. >> KAUR: MY BAD. 
          >> SHANNON: THAT'S ALL RIGHT. SOME GOOD NEWS COMING. 
          SO WE'RE GOING TO TALK TODAY, I HAVE A COUPLE ITEMS. THE FIRST ITEM I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE NEW DEPARTMENT, CAPITAL DELIVERY. WE'VE BEEN FORMED SINCE OCTOBER 1. 
          I GOT STARTED ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE THAT, SO I HAVE A FEW THINGS I WANT TO UPDATE YOU ON AND TALK ABOUT SOME THINGS WE'VE ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED, SOME THINGS WE'RE GOING TO GET ACCOMPLISHED AND CERTAINLY WE'D LOVE TO HEAR SOME FEEDBACK. SO I WANT YOU TO MEET OUR TEAM, WE'LL GO OVER SOME FOCUS AREAS AND I JUST SAID THE OTHER ITEM. SO THIS IS THE -- I WAS GOING TO USE SOME OLD HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK PHOTOS BUT WE CHOSE THESE, THIS IS ME, LOUISE AND CHRISTY ARE HERE, MY EXECUTIVE TEAM, AND I JUST BROKE THAT DOWN AND, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN BLESSED, LIEU'S AND CHRISTY HAVE HELPED ME THEY HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WITH THE CAPITAL DELIVERY BRIAR TO THE SPLIT AND WE WERE -- PRIOR TO THE SPLIT AND WE WERE ABLE TO HIT THE GROUND WORKING SO THANKS TO LOUISE AND CHRISTY AND ALL OF OUR PEOPLE IN CAPITAL DELIVERY. ONE OF THE FIRST CHANGES WE MADE HERE AT CAPITAL DELIVERY, ONE OF TH THINGS I LOOKED AT WHEN I CAME IN WAS EVERY PROJECT IS SUPER CRITICAL, AND WE DO DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROJECTS, THE LARGE-SCALE CAPITAL PROJECTS AND THROUGHOUT THE CITY, BUT WHETHER IT IS A HORIZONTAL STREET, DRAINAGE PROJECT THAT IS DOWNTOWN OR 410 AREA OR OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN, THOSE ARE SUPER CRITICAL AND CHALLENGING AND HAVE A UNIQUE SET OF CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN ISSUES. WE ALSO HAVE VERTICAL PROJECTS, NEW FIRE STATIONS, POLICE STATIONS, ACS VET HOSPITALS GROUNDBREAKING JUST YESTERDAY, AND OTHER IMPORTANT COMMUNITY CENTERS, SENIOR CENTERS, ET CETERA. I CHOSE TO REORGANIZE A LITTLE BIT, BRINGING ON A NEW DIRECTOR THAT WILL HANDLE THE VERTICAL PROJECTS. 
          I THINK WE'VE ALREADY HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE BOND AND THE NEXT BOND ABOUT FACILITIES WE NEED. SO ANY TIME YOU LOOK AT AN ORGANIZATION, WE START UP A NEW DEPARTMENT, WE DON'T MAKE CHANGES JUST TO MAKE CHANGES, BUT I THINK BY FOCUSING A TEAM ON THE HORIZONTAL PROJECTS AND A TEAM ON THE VERTICAL WILL CERTAINLY ALLOW US TO EXECUTE AND DELIVER PROJECTS BETTER. AND CHRISTY ON OUR SUPPORT SERVICES,  SHE GETS TO HELP OUT BOTH. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT OUR FOCUS. I SHARED THIS DURING OUR BUDGET PRESENTATION WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT AND WHAT WE WERE GOING TO DO, BUT IT REALLY FOCUSES -- WE ARE FOCUSED ON DELIVERING ON TIME AND WITHIN BUDGET. 
          THAT'S REALLY ALL I'VE BEEN DOING WITH OUR TEAM IS TALKING ABILITY WHAT WE'RE DOING, HOW WE'RE DOING IT, HOW WE CAN DO IT BETTER. 
          AND -- BUT THE OTHER ITEM, AND YOU ALREADY HEARD A LOT OF IT IN THE PREVIOUS PRESENTATION, BUT NOT JUST COMMUNICATE AND OUTREACH, BUT WE HAVE TO OVERCOMMUNICATE. OVERCOMMUNICATION IS OUR STANDARD. 
          I'LL SAY THAT WE'RE NOT THERE YET. WE'VE ADDED A FEW THINGS ALREADY, WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO ADD TO OUR COMMUNICATION SOPS AND RESOURCES, BUT OVERCOMMUNICATION, WE'VE ESTABLISHED THAT, AS THE STANDARD. AND I THINK THAT WILL HELP US THROUGH THESE LARGE-SCALE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS. SO FAR IN THE FIVE MONTHS, THE NEIGHBORS THAT I'VE TALKED WITH, THE BUSINESS OWNERS THAT I'VE TALKED WITH, YOU ALL AND YOUR STAFF THAT I'VE TALKED WITH, MOST OF THE ISSUES DEAL WITH WHAT'S GOING ON, HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET THROUGH IT, WHAT HAS CHANGED, HOW CAN WE GET THROUGH THIS DISRUPTION AND HOW CAN WE GET IT DONE QUICKER? SO THAT COMMUNICATION NEEDS TO HAPPEN OFTEN, OFTEN, OFTEN. AND IN MANY DIFFERENT FORMS. 
          [00:40:02]
AND WE'VE STARTED THAT ALREADY. WE'RE LOOKING AT WAYS FOR IMPROVING COST ESTIMATING, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT OUR FUTURE BOND, RIGHT? PART OF THAT IS SCOPING AND ESTIMATING OUR FUTURE PROJECTS SO THAT WHEN WE ESTABLISH A BUDGET, WE STAY WITHIN THAT BUDGET. 
          SO I THINK I'VE TALKED ABOUT THE STRATEGIES ALREADY. 
          SO, AGAIN, AN OVERVIEW IS 188 POSITIONS WE'RE TAKING FROM PUBLIC WORKS, $250 MILLION, ABOUT ALMOST 230 OF THAT -- I'M SORRY, 220 OF THAT IS THE ACTUAL CAPITAL MONEY FOR THE PROJECTS, A LITTLE UNDER $30 MILLION IS THE STAFFING COMPONENT OF THE 188 POSITIONS, BUT, AGAIN, HERE'S OUR FOCUS. 
          ON TIME, WITHIN BUDGET. AND, AGAIN, GOING ALONG WITH THE COMMUNICATION OR OVERCOMMUNICATION IS OUR DELIVERY OF PROJECTS HAS TO BE ALIGNED WITH PUBLIC EXPECTATIONS. ART AND I WERE AT A MEETING THIS MORNING WITH THE GREATER CHAMBER TALKING ABOUT THIS, BUT EVERYONE AGREES. 
          IN THE DEVELOPMENT, DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, OUR PUBLIC IS MORE ENGAGED THAN EVER, AND THAT'S A GOOD THING, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF EXPECTATIONS THAT WE -- WE GET FROM THAT. WE HAVE TO SET THOSE EXPECTATIONS AND THEN WE HAVE TO DELIVER TOWARDS THOSE EXPECTATIONS SO THAT'S A KEY FOCUS. 
          AS WELL, WE'RE PLANNING FOR FUTURE BOND PROGRAMS, SO THINK OF THAT CONVERSATION JUST UNDER TWO WEEKS AGO IN THIS ROOM. 
          SO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR CURRENT PORTFOLIO, SOMEBODY MENTIONED ACTIVE PROJECTS. WE HAVE 208 ACTIVE PROJECTS WITH CAPITAL DELIVERY RIGHT NOW. NOW, A FEW OF THOSE ARE STILL FROM THE 2017 BOND. I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THOSE IN THE NEXT PRESENTATION, BUT WE DO HAVE A FEW LEFTOVER. NINE OF THOSE ARE IN CONSTRUCTION, THREE ARE IN DESIGN. WE HAVE 151 PROJECTS FROM THE 2022 BOND AND WE HAVE SOME NONBOND PROJECTS. SO SOME OF THOSE PROJECTS THAT ARE FUNDED FROM NOT THE BUNTHE BOND, BUT MAYBE A FISCAL YEAR CAPITAL BUDGET WE'RE GOING TO BUILD A FIRE STATION. 
          WE HAVE 45 OF THOSE CURRENTLY ACTIVE. I'VE JUST GOT TO ALSO PUT IN THE BUDGET AMOUNT THAT GOES TOWARDS THOSE, THAT'S OUR 2026 BUDGET. 
          I MENTIONED $221 MILLION OF CAPITAL THAT WE'RE GOING TO SPEND THIS YEAR ON THESE PROJECTS, SO I JUST KIND OF DIVVIED THAT UP FOR YOU. 
          AND THEN THE 55 TOTAL PROJECTS THAT WE'RE ADVERTISING IN FY '26, IT'S ALL ABOUT DESIGNING, THEN ADVERTISING, YOU KNOW, TO GET CONTRACTORS OR EVEN DESIGN PROFESSIONALS, BUT ADVERTISING, GETTING PARTNERS ON THE DESIGN AND CONTRACTORS OUT. I LISTED A FEW PROJECTS THAT YOU'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH OR YOU SHOULD BE FAMILIAR WITH, THAT WERE ADVERTISED IN QUARTER 1, MOVING THEM TOWARDS EITHER A DESIGN OR CONSTRUCTION PHASE COMING SHORTLY. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT A FEW MAJOR CHANGES THAT I'VE SEEN IN OUR FIRST QUARTER OF THE FISCAL YEAR WITH THE NEW DEPARTMENT. CONTRACTOR INCENTIVES AND ACCOUNTABILITY. 
          IT'S INCENTIVES AND ACCOUNTABILITY. IT'S CARROTS AN STICKS, RIGHT? I THINK THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. SO, YES, WE USE LDS ON PROJECTS WHEN THEY GO OVER THE TIMELINE, AND THERE'S NO GOOD REASON FOR IT. 
          THERE'S NO WEATHER, YOU KNOW, EXTREME WEATHER DELAYS, EXTREME UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE WE ALL AGREE THAT THAT DID -- IT WASN'T THE CONTRACTOR'S FAULT, BUT WE HAVE SEVERAL PROJECTS THAT ARE ON -- THAT WE HAVE ISSUED LDS, AND THAT COSTS THE CONTRACTOR MONEY FOR BEING LATE. 
          I ALREADY HAVE AN ACTION ITEM UNDER MY NOTES TO DEVELOP SOME OF THE INFORMATION ON THAT, BECAUSE I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO ASK ME THAT BASED ON THE LAST CONVERSATION. HOWEVER, ONE OF THE IMPORTANT TOOLS WE'VE STARTED INSTITUTING ALREADY IN OUR CONTRACTS, YOU HAVE ALL APPROVED SEVERAL CONTRACTS IN THE FIRST QUARTER THAT OFFER AN INCENTIVE TO THE CONTRACTOR TO FINISH EARLY. 
          SO WHETHER YOU'RE BUILDING A NEW FACILITY FOR US OR A NEW STREET OR NEW DRAINAGE PROJECT, IF YOU FINISH SIGNIFICANTLY EARLY, YOU WILL GET MORE MONEY. AND WE'RE HAVING THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE CONTRACTORS. IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THEY KNOW WHAT "SIGNIFICANTLY EARLY" IS, A THREE-YEAR PROJECT GETS DELIVERED A DAY EARLY, WE'RE HAPPY IT'S NOT LATE, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. 
          BUT IF YOU CAN DELIVER THAT 18-HONT PROJECT A MONTH OR TWO OR THREE MONTHS EARLY, THEN THERE SHOULD BE AN INCENTIVE FOR THAT. 
          I'VE TALKED TO SOME OF THE CONTRACTOR GROUPS THAT I MEET WITH, THEY'RE EXCITED ABOUT THIS. THEY ALSO TOLD ME TO BE CAREFUL. 
          BE CAREFUL AND WACH THAT, BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT THESE SCHEDULES TO ARTIFICIALLY GET EXAGGERATED SO THAT THEY CAN DELIVER IT, QUOTE, UNQUOTE, EARLY. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THAT. 
          I UNDERSTAND THAT. WE HAVE A LOT OF DATA ON THAT, AND I ACTUALLY ASKED FOR HELP FROM THE CONTRACTING AND DESIGN COMMUNITY TO HELP ME WASH DOG THAT. AND -- WATCH DOG THAT. SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE'LL BE WATCHING AND REPORTING BACK TO THIS GROUP BECAUSE I WANT THAT TOOL TO BE SUCCESSFUL. I WANT TO HIRE THOSE CONTRACTORS, RIGHT, I WANT TO SCORE THEM BETTER WHEN THEY BID IF THEY DELIVER PROJECTS EARLY RATHER THAN LATE. ON TIME IS STILL REAL GOOD. 
          I'LL TALK ABOUT SAWS FOR A SECOND, AND WE ACTUALLY EXECUTED AND CAME UP WITH 
          [00:45:01]
THE FIRST MAJOR PROJECT UNDER THE SAWS MOU, SO A YEAR AGO, LAST MONTH, THE COUNCIL ADOPTED THE MOU WITH SAWS THAT HAD A LOT OF THINGS IN IT FOR THOSE JOINT BID PROJECTS THAT SAID, LIKE, HEY, WE NEED TO DO MORE SUBSURFACE UTILITY ENGINEERING WORK IN THE DESIGN PHASE. RIGHT? NO SURPRISES WHEN WE DIG UP THE STREET. THAT'S ONE. 
          ESCALATION AND QUICK RESOLUTION OF ISSUES IN THE FIELD IS TWO. 
          MAJOR RESOLUTION ISSUES WITH CONTRACTORS, WHETHER IT'S SAWS OR CITY CONTRACTOR, BECAUSE TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. SO I'M HAPPY TO SAY THAT WE JUST APPROVED THE CMAR CONTRACT FOR THE MARBACH STREET AND DRAINAGE PROJECT IN DISTRICT FOUR, SO A MUCH-NEEDED BOND PROJECT UNDER THIS NEW MOU WHERE REALLY IT INCREASES THAT PARTNERSHIP WITH SAWS AND THE CITY. AND I THINK WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN PRETTY GOOD PARTNERS, BUT THIS IS REALLY, I THINK, THE NEXT EVOLUTION OF US WORKING TOGETHER FOR KIND OF THE GREATER GOOD, LET'S GET THESE PROJECTS DONE WELL, UP FRONT, AND QUICKLY. SIDE NOTE, WE'RE HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH CPS TO EXECUTE AN MOU WITH THEM, SO WE'LL HAVE THAT OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS BECAUSE WE HAVE SOME UTILITY COORDINATION ISSUES WITH THEM AS WELL. AND THEN LASTLY, I WILL JUST SAY, EXECUTING ON OVERCOMMUNICATION AND OUTREACH, WE ACTUALLY HAVE A FEW TEST CASE PROJECTS WHERE THIS HAS BEEN MUCH NEEDED. AND WE'LL LOOK AT THE DOWNTOWN PROJECTS THAT THE COUNCILWOMAN ALREADY MENTIONED, WHICH WAS SANTA ROSA AND ZONA, WE JUST HAD TO GET OUT IN FRONT OF THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY. THOSE AFFECTED THE MOST IN THOSE AREAS. 
          THOSE PROJECTS ARE LATE. THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. 
          BUT WE WERE ABLE TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF TIME WE'RE IN FRONT OF THEM, BOTH AS A GROUP AND INDIVIDUAL WALK-THROUGHS OF THE SITE COMMUNICATIONS. WE HAVE A BETTER COMMUNICATION SYSTEM WITH THEM, THEY HAVE MORE INFORMATION AS THINGS ARE HAPPENING, AND WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO FINISHING ALAMO AND ZONA. 
          I'LL TALK ABOUT THAT HERE IN A SECOND. I TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY, AGAIN. THIS IS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. WE USE PROJECT SCORE CARDS, WE HAVE THAT RESPONSIBLE BIDDER ORDINANCE WHERE WE HAVE RIGHT NOW EIGHT CONTRACTORS THAT ARE PRECLUDED FROM BIDDING ON OUR PROJECTS. 
          THAT'S THAT THREE-YEAR TIME OUT FOR WHATEVER REASON THE ORDINANCE SAYS THEY WEREN'T PERFORMING IN THE MANNER THAT WAS ACCEPTABLE TO THE CITY, AND SO WE'LL CONTINUE TO USE THAT AND HAVE MORE CONVERSATIONS ON THAT AS WE GO FORWARD. I HAVE A COUPLE SLIDES HERE, JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, WE USE ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROJECT DELIVERY TYPES. 
          THIS IS NOT NEW TO CDD, THIS WAS HAPPENING IN PUBLIC WORKS AND BEFORE THEM, TRANSPORTATION AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AND ALL THAT STUFF, BUT WHAT I DID WANT TO HIGHLIGHT HERE IS WE HAVE TO FIND THE RIGHT PROCUREMENT TYPES FOR DIFFERENT PROJECTS. I JUST MENTIONED WE'RE DOING A CMAR PROJECT, CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK FOR A PRETTY COMPLEX PROJECT OVER THERE AT MARBACH STREET, 410 AND DRAINAGE WORK, SO A LOT OF COORDINATION, A LOT OF COMPLEXITY. WE'RE BRINGING THE CONTRACTOR IN WITH THE DESIGN TEAM TO MAKE SURE WE GET IT RIGHT DURING THE DESIGN AND WE GET THE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE, AND THEN WE CAN JUST EXECUTE. USING THINGS LIKE DESIGN-BUILD AS ANOTHER WAY WE CAN DO IT, AND EVEN USING QUALIFIED LOW BIDS A LITTLE BIT MORE. 
          WE CAN PUT A FEW QUALIFICATIONS ON THAT LOW-BID PROCESS. 
          BUT, AGAIN, FINDING THE RIGHT ONE, EACH ONE HAS ITS PROS AND CONS, BUT I'M THE FIRM BELIEVER THE MORE THAT WE CAN HAVE THE CONTRACTOR AVAILABLE ON THOSE LONG LEAD TIME AND COMPLEX PROJECTS, BRINGING THEM IN EARLIER ON IS BENEFICIAL FOR THE OVERALL PROJECT DELIVERY. 
          A FEW OTHERS THAT WE USE, ON-CALL CONTRACTORS, JOB-ORDER CONTRACTS, JOINT-BID UTILITIES, SOMETIMES THERE'S A QUICK PROJECT THAT'S NOT THAT COMPLICATED, MAYBE A LESSER OF THE PROJECT'S SCOPE AND PRICE, WE CAN USE THESE ALREADY CONTRACTS APPROVED BY YOU ALL TO JUST GET STARTED. 
          SO SOME OF YOUR PROJECTS ARE ACTUALLY -- TO DO SO WHERE IT'S APPROPRIATE. SO A FEW OTHER ITEMS TO FINISH OFF THE PRESENTATION. SO THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGER ITEMS THAT I'VE NOTICED IN THE PAST THREE OR FOUR MONTHS. 
          WE NEED TO THINK LIKE THE BUSINESSES AND HAVE MORE BUSINESS-FOCUSED STRATEGIES AS WE ARE DISRUPTING MAYBE A BUSINESS CORRIDOR. 
          AND I THINK WE'VE ALL SEEN AND HEARD OF THE CHALLENGES. 
          CONSTRUCTION IS DISRUPTIVE, WHETHER IT'S IN AND AROUND A NEIGHBORHOOD, CERTAINLY IN THE BUSINESS CORRIDOR. 
          WEE DONE MONTHLY -- WE'VE DONE MONTHLY MEETINGS WITH SOME OF THESE PROJECTS, THE BUSINESS, BUILDERS AND STAKEHOLDERS. 
          IT IS WELL RECEIVED IF YOU'RE GIVING THEM COMMUNICATION. 
          WE'VE ACTUALLY DEDICATED SOME PRODUCT FUNDING HELPING THEM MARKET AND OUTREACH, WE'RE STILL OPEN, HERE'S HOW TO GET IN AND OUT OF THE CORRIDOR SO YOU CAN COME AND ENJOY OUR BUSINESS, SHOP THERE, EAT THERE, HAVE A BEVERAGE THERE, WHATEVER IT MAY BE. WE'VE ADDED SOME BUSINESS SCRIMS AND WAYFINDING SIGNAGE DOWNTOWN AND WE'VE CHANGED THOSE UP A 
          [00:50:01]
LITTLE BIT. YOU'LL SEE THE QUALITY OF THOSE WITH THE HELP OF THE COUNCIL OFFICE, I'LL USE COUNCILWOMAN DR. KAUR ON THIS ONE, HER OFFICE AND OUR OFFICE HELPED CREATE SOME REALLY BUSINESS-FRIENDLY EXCITING BUSINESS SCRIMS SO IT DOESN'T LOOK SO MUCH LIKE A CONSTRUCTION SITE AND IT TELLS PEOPLE IT'S STILL OPEN AND OPEN FOR BUSINESS. 
          WE'VE UTILIZED A COUPLE OF BUSINESSES AS A PILOT PROGRAM, WE JUST KIND OF DID IT. HELPING WITH THIS, THIS IS THE COMPANY CALLED THE LOCAL. WE'VE USED THE OLD TOWN TROLLEY SERVICE, AS WELL AS A SHELL SERVICE IN AND AROUND DOWNTOWN TO GET CONVENTION FOLKS TO VA VILLITA, TO SOUTHTOWN, TO MARKET SQUARE, EASIER GET IN AND AROUND THOSE MAJOR EVENTS -- US A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION AND DATA ON WHAT TO DO AFTER THE PROJECT IS FINISHED, HOW WE CAN HELP GET PEOPLE IN AND AROUND DOWNTOWN WITH 
          DIFFERENT MOBILITY SYSTEMS. >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: WHEN YOU SAY HALF A DOZEN TIMES, SO SIX TIMES MEANING SIX INDIVIDUAL 
          DAYS OR -- >> SHANNON: IT'S A COMBINATION OF ONE OR TWO DAYS, WE ARE -- ON THOSE ONES, WE'RE WORKING WITH THE BUSINESSES, VISIT SAN ANTONIO, TO FIND THOSE CONVENTIONS THAT BRING IN A LOT OF PEOPLE, MAYBE 10 OR 12,000 PEOPLE, AND WE TRY TO -- WE'VE CONTRACTED OUT ON THOSE DAYS, WHETHER IT'S BE A FRIDAY, SATURDAY OR SATURDAY/SUNDAY, OR MAYBE JUST A SUNDAY WHERE THOSE GOING TO THE CONVENTION HAVE NOTHING TO DO. 
          AND THEY'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO DO OR LOOKING FOR SOME PLACE TO GO TO ENJOY THE GREAT AMENITIES IN THAT AREA, EVEN THOUGH THERE'S A LOT 
          OF CONSTRUCTION HAPPENING. >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: THANK 
          YOU. >> SHANNON: YEP. CHALLENGES WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO FACE, UTILITY COORDINATION, COORDINATION WITH OUR CONTRACTORS AND CONSULTANTS -- ACQUISITIONS, SOMETIMES IT'S JUST HARD TO BUY THE PIECE OF LAND WHERE WE WANT TO BUILD THE FIRE STATION. THAT'S A REAL EXAMPLE, OKAY. CITYWIDE MAJOR EVENT COORDINATIONS, WHAT IF YOU'RE HAVING CONSTRUCTION AND IT'S FIESTA OR IT'S NEW YEAR'S EVE OR IT'S A HUGE CONCERT AT THE ALAMODOME? ALL OF THIS IS REAL STUFF. THOSE ARE OUR STRATEGIES ON THE RIGHT THAT WE'VE ALREADY BEEN WORKING ON SINCE QUARTER 1, BUT WE'RE MEETING WITH THE PARTNERS, ASSOCIATED BUILDERS AND CONTRACTORS, ASSOCIATED GENERAL CONTRACTORS, CENTRO, TXDOT, SAWS, ET CETERA. 
          WE'VE BROUGHT IN SOME BROKER SERVICES TO HELP FIND PROPERTIES WHERE WE'RE HAVING THOSE CHALLENGES, AND WE REALLY ARE WORKING WITH OUR DOWNTOWN AND OTHER PARTNERS WHEN WE COORDINATE AROUND THOSE LARGE EVENTS. THOSE BECOME TRICKY WHEN YOU'RE RUNNING A MARATHON THROUGH A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. SO OUR NEXT STEPS, THIS IS WHAT'S COMING. WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP SCOM KEY PERFORMANCE MEASURES. RIGHT NOW WEE BEEN VERY FOCUSED ON THE START TO FINISH OF A PROJECT. WE'RE REALLY STARTING TO DIG DOWN AND LOOKING AT OUR DATA ABOUT PERFORMANCE MEASURES ON THE DESIGN PART OF THE PROCESS. THE PROCUREMENT SIDE OF THE PROCESS, THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION PHASES, SO ALL OF THOSE ARE INTEGRAL PIECES, AND IF ONE GETS ELONGATED OR DELAYED, IT REALLY AFFECTS THE OTHERS. 
          SO WE WILL BE DEVELOPING THOSE KEY PERFORMANCE METRICS BASED ON SOME PAST DATA AND SOME GOALS THAT WE WANT. ADDITIONALLY, WE'RE SHOOTING TO HAVE 91% OF OUR BOND PROJECTS UNDER CONSTRUCTION BY THE FALL OR THE END OF THIS YEAR. I THINK WE SAID SOMETHING LIKE THAT AT THE BUDGET. 
          WE'RE WORKING TOWARDS THAT. I'LL HAVE AN UPDATE ON THAT ON THE NEXT PRESENTATION. AND THEN, OF COURSE, 90% OF OUR JOBS NEED TO BE COMPLETE AND ON SCHEDULE. 
          THAT'S AN OVERALL ARCHING GOAL. WE'RE NOT THERE RIGHT NOW. WE'RE GOING TO WORK TOWARDS THAT, AND WE HAVE SOME STRATEGIES TO HIT IT. SO FINALLY, A COUPLE OF THINGS:  REALLY WHAT'S COMING THAT I'LL BE WORKING ON THE REST OF THIS YEAR, HERE'S SOME HIGHLIGHTS. SO I HAVE AN ADDITIONAL INTERNAL RESTRUCTURE THAT I'M WORKING ON. ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT WE DO RIGHT NOW, AND THE WAY THAT THE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN SET UP FOR A WHILE AND IT WORKS, BUT I THINK IT CAN WORK BETTER. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE ON OUR HORIZONTAL PROJECTS, OUR STREETS AND DRAINAGE, WE HAVE A TEAM DEDICATED TO THE DESIGN PROCESS. THEY DO A LOT OF ENGAGEMENT WITH OUR COMMUNITY, WHAT IS THE DESIGN GOING TO LOOK LIKE, WHAT ARE WE FOCUSED ON, ET CETERA, AND THAT ALL GETS DONE AND WE'RE READY TO BUILD IT, WE HAND IT OFF TO A TOTALLY DIFFERENT SET OF PROJECT MANAGERS AND THEY FOCUS ON THE INSPECTION. THERE'S SOME PROS AND CONS TO THAT. 
          IT'S STILL FOOTBALL SEASON, SUPER BOWL WEEK, GO PATS. 
          I'M FROM NEW ENGLAND. SO WITH THAT HANDOFF CAN BE SOME FUMBLES, RIGHT? THESE ARE THREE- OR FOUR-YEAR PROJECTS FROM START TO FINISH.  I THINK THERE'S A BETTER WAY TO DO IT. IT WAS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE GOT IN THE ROBERT [INDISCERNIBLE] STUDY THAT WE GOT LAST YEAR. THAT PROJECT MANAGER WILL HAVE THAT PROJECT ONCE WE RESTRUCTURE FROM THE START OF THE COMMUNITY MEETINGS WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE DESIGN OF THE PROJECT AND WHAT TO CONSIDER ALL THE WAY TO THE EXECUTION. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I'LL BE WORKING ON AND 
          [00:55:05]
PROBABLY BE ABLE TO EXECUTE IN QUARTER 3 OF THIS YEAR, BUT I'LL BE WORKING WITH MY TEAM TO FIGURE OUT THE PROJECTS CURRENTLY IN OUR PROCESS BUT REALLY IT'S THE NEXT BOND CYCLE NEEDS TO BEET IS UP THIS WAY AS WELL. 
          I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE A MORE STREAMLINED, MORE EFFECTIVE WAY TO DELIVER PROJECTS REALLY FROM START TO FINISH. WE'LL BE MAXIMIZING OUR CPO TEAM, CAPITAL PROJECT OFFICERS, THEY DO A LOT OF THE COMMUNICATION OUTREACH WITH BUSINESSES AND NEIGHBORHOODS. WE HAVE A TEAM OF SEVEN OF THEM RIGHT NOW, WHICH INCLUDES THE SUPERVISOR. WE NEED TO ADD MORE RESOURCES TO THAT. SO I'M LOOKING TO -- WITHIN MY GROUP, PRIORITIZE SOME RESOURCES TO ADD TO THAT TEAM BECAUSE I JUST TOLD YOU THAT OVERCOMMUNICATION IS THE STANDARD. WE NEED TO DO MORE, AND THEREFORE I NEED SOME MORE RESOURCES AS WE STREAMLINE TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE. I THINK THE TEAM DOES A GOOD JOB RIGHT NOW BUT I THINK HIRING LIKE A DEDICATED PUBLIC RELATIONS MANAGER, WHICH I'M ACTUALLY IN THE FINAL STAGES OF SELECTING, MORE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD AND MORE BUSINESS OUTREACH IS NEEDED REALLY FROM START TO FINISH ON THESE PROJECTS. SOMETHING WE'VE ALREADY STARTED, BUT I CAN SEE BEING MUCH NEEDED. REGULAR BOND UPDATES COUNCILMAN -- WE'VE HAD SOME CONVERSATION ON THIS, BUT THIS NEEDS TO BE NORMAL FOR ME TO BE UP HERE TALKING ABOUT OUR BOND PROCESS, THE NEXT SLIDE -- THE NEXT PRESENTATION WILL -- QUARTER OR EVERY SIX MONTHS, IT SHOULD BE -- I THINK, YOU KNOW, REPORTING BACK TO YOU ALL WHAT'S GOING ON, WHAT THE PROJECT STATUSES ARE, WHERE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES ARE, WHERE SOME OF THE -- AUDIO] -- AND LOOKING FOR THAT FEEDBACK. SO WE'LL BE DOING THAT. 
          CERTAINLY WORKING WITH OUR STREETS AND STORMWATER ADVISORY BOARDS, AND THEN YOU GUYS TOUCHED ON IT ALREADY A LITTLE BIT, THE BOND DASHBOARD. OR REALLY AN INFRASTRUCTURE DASHBOARD. WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD BOND DASHBOARD. 
          YOU CAN GO FIND THE STATUS OF A BOND DASHBOARD RIGHT NOW. 
          THAT'S BEEN ON THE WEBSITE FOR A WHILE. WHAT I THINK I'VE HEARD, AND I'VE HEARD SOME MORE OF IT EARLIER WAS WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FOR AN INFRASTRUCTURE DASHBOARD. THE RESIDENT DOESN'T CARE WHERE THE MONEY CAME FROM, WHO'S PAYING FOR THE PROJECT, THEY JUST KNOW THERE'S A BUNCH OF ORANGE CONES IN AND AROUND THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD OR ON THEIR WAY TO WORK OR INTO THEIR BUSINESS. SO I THINK THERE'S OPPORTUNITY THERE, SO WE'LL BE WORKING, I THINK, IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF QUARTERS, SO GIVE US THREE TO SIX MONTHS, I THINK, WE'LL BE BACK WITH SOME IDEAS. I'M REALLY GOING TO BE LOOKING TO ENGAGE YOU AND YOUR COMMUNICATION'S TEAM WITH MY COMMUNICATION TEAM, ART'S COMMUNICATION TEAM AND THE CITY'S DEPARTMENT ON THIS, I THINK THERE'S A GOOD OPPORTUNITY THERE. SO ZONA, I JUST THREW IT UP THERE BECAUSE WE JUST THIS WEEK -- AGAIN, THIS IS -- THIS IS A PROJECT THAT IS -- WHEN IT'S DONE, IT'S GOING TO BE AMAZING AND SHOW YOU WHAT WE CAN BUILD IN SAN ANTONIO TO REALLY ENHANCE THE DOWNTOWN WALKABILITY, STREETSCAPE, BIKE PATHS, ALL THAT STUFF. THIS IS A LATE PROJECT. 
          YOU SHOULD HAVE NOTICED, IF YOU DIDN'T. IF YOU DIDN'T, PLEASE DRIVE THROUGH IT. ALL LANES NORTH AND SOUTH ARE OPEN NOW ON SANTA ROSA AS OF THIS WEEKEND. STILL NOT COMPLETELY DONE, STILL A LITTLE BIT OF WORK TO DO. WE'RE PUSHING THE CONTRACTOR REAL HARD ON THAT, BUT A LOT OF LESSONS LEARNED ON THIS ONE, WE'LL SHARE I'M SURE AT SOME POINT WITH YOU ALL. WE TALKED ABOUT SOUTH ALAMO, ANOTHER MAJOR DOWNTOWN PROJECT. WE'RE PUSHING WITH THE CONTRACTOR TO HAVE THAT ONE DONE BEFORE FIESTA AND WORKING WITH THIS COMMUNITY, BRINGING IN ADDITIONAL RESOURCES, MEANING OTHER CONTRACTORS TO ASSIST. AND, AGAIN, I THINK WILL REALLY HELP REDEFINE THAT SOUTH ALAMO. IT'S HARD TO PICTURE BECAUSE IT'S STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION. BUT IT'S GETTING THERE. YOU'RE SEEING BRICK PAVERS, THE BEAUTIFUL SIDEWALKS, YOU'RE SEEING LANDSCAPING BEING PUT IN, THE LAST AMOUNT OF CONCRETE BEING POURED AND WE'RE GOING TO BE IN THE LAST PHASE OF THIS PROJECT LATER THIS WEEK. WE TALKED ABOUT MARBACH, WE TALKED ABOUT THE ACS VET HOSPITAL. WE'RE BUILD AGNEW SUBSTATION FOR THE POLICE IN DISTRICT THREE, WE HAD A GROUND BREAKING LAST MONTH. WE HAVE SOME RITTIMAN ROAD GRADE SEPARATION PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE AT THE AUDIT COMMITTEE TOMORROW, THAT'S AN OVERPASS, SO THE TRAFFIC CAN OVERPASS THE TRAINS THAT HAPPEN OFTEN THERE, AND WE'RE GOING TO BE AT AUDIT ON THE CULEBRA ROAD PROJECT AND, AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE THE STRETCH FROM GENERAL MCMULLIN TO 410. 
          EACH PROJECT IS IN DIFFERENT PHASES BUT THEY'RE COMING. 
          BIG HIGH PROFILE ONES. WE DO HAVE SOME COUNCIL CONSIDERATION REQUESTS THAT WE ARE WORKING ON THAT ARE RELATED TO OUR TRADES ADVISORY BOARD, CONSTRUCTION TRADES ADVISORY BOARD AND OUR PREVAILING WAGE CODE UPDATES. THOSE HAVE BEEN PRESENTED TO THE COMMITTEES. 
          A COUPLE OF THOSE ARE GOING THROUGH THE ECONOMIC AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE, BUT WE'LL KEEP YOU POSTED ON THE PROGRESS AS WE WORK ON THOSE. SO KEY TAKEAWAYS: PARTNERSHIP, WE NEED GOOD PARTNERSHIPS WITH OUR DESIGN AND CONTRACTOR COMMUNITY. 
          [01:00:03]
WE NEED TO BE ULTRATRANSPARENT, ACCESSIBLE, OVERCOMMUNICATE, AND ULTIMATELY WE NEED TO BE ACCOUNTABLE TO DELIVER THESE ONTIME AND WITHIN BUDGET. SO A LOT OF SLIDES. 
          I SAID A LOT. I'LL STOP THERE. >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: WELL, 
          I WILL ASK YOU TO DO THE NEXT SET OF SLIDES. >> SHANNON: ALL RIGHT. 
          >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: AND THIS WILL BE PUNISH IMPRISONMENT FOR HAVING 
          MENT FOR HAVING SO MANY SLIDES. >> SHANNON: I KNOW. 
          I'M SO PROUD OF OUR DEPARTMENT. I WANT TO SHARE. 
          CAN WE GET THE NEXT SLIDE DECK? ALL RIGHT. 
          THAT WAS A GOOD 30-SECOND BREAK. ALL RIGHT. 
          SPEAKING OF BONDS, ALL RIGHT, REALLY, WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT THE RHYTHM ON HOW OFTEN WE GET HERE. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT -- AND WE'LL HAVE A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS AS WE CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION FROM LAST -- OR TWO WEEKS AGO ON THE NEXT BOND, BUT LET'S TALK ABOUT THE CURRENT BOND PROJECTS. 
          IF YOU REMEMBER 2017, $850 MILLION, THOSE WERE THE PROPS AND THE BUCKETS SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'VE HAD. THAT WAS FIRST TIME WE DID THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOND, $20 MILLION, TO GET US STARTED AFTER THE CHARTER CHANGED. 180 PROJECTS. 
          2022, WAS THE LARGEST ONE, 1.2 BILLION, SO SOME OF THIS IS FAMILIAR, OF COURSE, FROM THE PRESENTATION A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, SO -- AND THEN, OF COURSE, THAT W WAS THE HISTORY. SO SINCE 2003, OVER $3 BILLION WORTH OF INVESTMENT ON OUR BONDS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          THAT'S A LOT OF INVESTMENT, SO KUDOS TO THE VOTERS FOR THAT, BUT A LOT OF NEED AS WELL. THE NEED CERTAINLY OUTWEIGHS THE INVESTMENT EVERY FIVE YEARS. SO THIS SLIDE RIGHT HERE IS JUST TO SAY, LOOK, 2017 WAS A WHILE RAG GO, BUT AS KRUK -- WHILE AGO, BUT AS CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS SOMETIMES HAPPEN, WE'RE ALMOST DONE WITH THAT. 
          93% COMPLETE. ANOTHER 5% ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION. 
          ANOTHER 2% ARE IN DESIGN. NOW, 2% DESIGN, I GET THIS QUESTION A LOT, I'VE TALKED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE ABOUT THIS, WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE STILL DESIGNING 2017 PROJECTS? WE WELL, WE'VE HAD A COUPLE HICCUPS. BRACKENRIDGE PARK, THAT PROJECT IS FUNDED  OUT OF 2017 AND WE'VE HAD SOME LEGAL ISSUES ON THAT PROJECT. 
          SO THAT'S DELAYED US A LITTLE BIT. SOME OF THAT IS COMING FORWARD NOW, YOU'LL START HEARING ABOUT THAT OVER THE NEXT WEEKS AND MONTHS. ANOTHER COUPLE OF PROJECTS, ROOSEVELT AND PROBANDT, MUCH-NEEDED PROJECTS, THOSE WERE SUBJECT TO THE STATE. 
          THE STATE WAS GOING TO GIVE THOSE BACK, OR TURN THOSE BACK TO THE CITY, SO WE ACTUALLY DESIGNED THEM A CERTAIN WAY. TXDOT EITHER DISAGREED WITH IT OR DECIDED TO NOT TURN THEM BACK TO THE CITY, SO WE ACTUALLY HAD TO KIND OF THROW AWAY THAT DESIGN AND START FROM SCRATCH AGAIN, SO WE'RE STILL IN DESIGN. SO THOSE ARE SOME HICCUPS THAT WERE VERY UNEXPECTED, BUT WE'LL CONTINUE. THOSE ARE ON PATH TO GET COMPLETED, EVEN THOUGH THEY'LL BE PRETTY DELAYED. 
          IF YOU LOOK AT THE 2022 PROJECTS, ABOUT 59%, 40 UNDER CONSTRUCTION, 19% COMPLETE. SO AS WE ENTER INTO THE FOURTH YEAR OF A BOND SICKLE, THIS IS WHEN -- CYCLE, THIS IS WHEN A SIGNIFICANCE MAJORITY OF THAT  KIND OF LIGHT BLUE IF YOU CAN ON THE LEFT OF TA PIE, THEY START TURNING INTO KRUK SHUP. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF PROJECTS COMING INTO CONSTRUCTION. THAT'S THE LIFE CYCLE OF A BOND. 
          WE DO A LOT OF DESIGN IN THE FIRST FEW YEARS AND THEY TURN INTO CONSTRUCTION SO WE CAN GET MOST OF THEM COMPLETE OR SIGNIFICANT CONSTRUCTION BY THE END OF THE FIFTH YEAR. I JUST HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF AN UPDATE HERE ON STREETS, PARKS, DRAINAGE, HOUSING, SAFETY, LIBRARY, OF COURSE, BROKEN UP BY THE PROPS. YOU WILL SEE THAT PARKS PROJECTS, FOR EXAMPLE, THEY'RE A LITTLE SMALLER PROJECTS, SO CERTAINLY WE DO MORE OF THEM. AND THEN YOU CAN FINISH THEM, DESIGN THEM AND COMPLETE THEM A LITTLE BIT QUICKER, SO YOU SEE A LOT MORE IN THE RED THAT ARE EITHER COMPLETE OR IN CONSTRUCTION. STREETS, A LITTLE BIT SIMILAR. DRAINAGE ACTUALLY IS THE LONGEST LEAD TIME FOR DESIGN. YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH FEMA, FEDERAL GOVERNMENT REVIEWS, PERMITS, ALL THAT STUFF, SO THAT TAKES A LONG TIME. 
          EVEN THOUGH OUR DESIGN CONSULTANTS AND OUR TEAMS REVIEW THEM, SEND THEM UP, BUT IT'S JUST A LONG, LENGTHY PROCESS. SO THOSE ARE SEVERAL THAT ARE STILL IN DESIGN, BUT THEY'RE ALL CLOSE TO BEING TURNED OVER TO CONSTRUCTION THIS YEAR. AND, AGAIN, JUST THOSE ARE THE STATUS BY PROP. 
          SO THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ONE FOR US. SO RIGHT NOW OUT OF THE 2022 BOND PROGRAM, WE CALL IT TIMELINESS, 153 ARE CURRENTLY STILL ON SCHEDULE. OKAY? 34 ARE OFF SCHEDULE FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS. OFF SCHEDULE MEANS IT'S GOING TO BE MORE THAN 10% OVER THE NUMBER OF DAYS WE ANTICIPATED. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, THINK OF A THREE-YEAR PROJECT, ABOUT 1,000 PLUS DAYS. SO IF YOU'RE MORE THAN 100 DAYS OVER THAT WE DON'T THINK WE'LL BE ABLE TO PULL BACK, WE TRACK IT AS OFF SCHEDULE. AND THERE COULD BE A NUMBER OF REASONS FOR THAT. I WILL MENTION OUR GOAL MOVING FORWARD IS 90% OR 
          [01:05:02]
MORE ON SCHEDULE. I MEAN, SOME OF THOSE HICCUPS THAT I MENTIONED, LITIGATION AND WORKING WITH OUTSIDE ENTITIES, WE'LL TRY TO MITIGATE THOSE AS BEST WE CAN, BUT I THINK 90%, WE NEED TO SET THAT GOAL AND WORK TOWARDS THAT MOVING FORWARD. SO THAT'S OUR PLAN, BUT OVERALL, 82% ON SCHEDULE OF THOSE '22 BOND PROJECTS. 
          SO IN QUARTER 1, SO I'M KIND OF JUST TYING THIS BACK TO OUR QUARTER RESULTS, WE DID COMPLETE 10 PROJECTS AND WE DID PUT 10 PROJECTS INTO CONSTRUCTION. THAT'S WHAT THAT FIRST COLUMN LOOKS LIKE. 
          AND WE ANTICIPATE THE NEXT COUPLE OF QUARTERS THAT WILL HAVE -- FINISH AN ADDITIONAL 39 AND PROJECTS IN CONSTRUCTION WE'LL PUT 48 ADDITIONAL ONES. SO ALL OF THAT LEADS ME TO GET TO MY 91% INTO CONSTRUCTION OR COMPLETE BY THE END OF THE YEAR. THIS IS A DIAGRAM, SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE SEEN BEFORE, WE USE THIS TO KIND OF JUST SHOW THE LIFE CYCLE OF A BOND, AND IF YOU'LL LOOK AT OUR '22 BOND, THE LIGHTER COLOR HISTOGRAM BARS ARE HOW MANY PROJECTS ARE IN DESIGN, SO CERTAINLY WE RAMP UP DESIGN. AND AS THE DESIGNS ARE COMPLETE, WE START RAMPING UP CONSTRUCTION, SO WE'RE IN THAT PERIOD WHERE WE'RE FINISHING UP A LOT OF DESIGNS AND PUTTING A LOT MORE INTO CONSTRUCTION, SO THAT'S HOW WE KIND OF MONITOR THIS. WE ARE REALLY PRETTY MUCH ON PAR WITH OUR 2017 AND 2012, SO THIS IS A VERY SIMILAR TYPE OF GRAPH, TIMELINE GRAPH OF THE CYCLE OF A FIVE-YEAR BOND. 
          SO A FEW PROJECTS UNDER CONSTRUCTION, WHETHER IT BE THE PORT SAN ANTONIO STREETS, OF COURSE, THE INTERSECTION THERE, A VERY IMPORTANT PROJECTS, A&M AREA STREETS -- TEXAS A&M AREA STREETS, A LOT OF ACTIVITY DOWN THERE, A LOT OF GROWTH, OF COURSE, AND THERN THE WEST COLLEGE LINK LINEAR GREENWAY PROJECT, SO JUST A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES THERE TO SHOW YOU WHAT'S GOING ON. WE HAVE A FEW OTHERS IN DESIGN, JUST A FEW EXAMPLES, LOW WATER CROSSING OVER ON GEORGE ROAD, VALLEY HI DRAINAGE, LOWER FRENCH CREEK,  SO, AGAIN, SOME OF THOSE DRAINAGE PROJECTS TAKE A LITTLE BIT LONGER INTO DESIGN. I WANTED TO TOUCH ON TWO SPECIFIC ITEMS, PED MOBILITIES AND F STREETS, JUST TO TELL YOU WHERE WE'RE AT. THIS IS A SUMMARY CHART OF IN THE 2022 BOND, $28 MILLION TOTAL WAS ALLOCATED TOWARDS WHAT WE CALL PEDESTRIAN MOBILITY. AND WE IDENTIFY A NUMBER OF PROJECTS IN EACH DISTRICT BASED ON THE FUNDING, AND WE WORK TO IMPROVE SIDEWALKS AND ANY TYPE OF PEDESTRIAN MOBILITY PROJECT IN THERE. 
          RIGHT NOW OUT OF THE 58 PROJECTS THAT WE PLANNED TO DO WITH THAT $28 MILLION TOTAL, 25 OF THEM HAVE BEEN COMPLETE. WE STILL HAVE 33 PENDING. SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF WORK TO DO TO CATCH UP ON THIS ONE. I WILL SAY, WE DID HAVE A TASK ORDER CONTRACT, THE FIRST ONE ACTUALLY THAT WAS ISSUED. THAT WAS TERMINATED. 
          WE CALL IT FOR CONVENIENCE, WE HAD SOME ISSUES WITH THE CONTRACTOR MEETING OUR DEMANDS ON THAT. WE HAD A LOT OF MEETINGS, KIND OF START AND STOPS ON THAT, BUT WE HAD TO TERMINATE THAT. 
          SO THAT DID SET US BACK A LITTLE BIT. I DON'T WANT TO SAY THAT'S THE ONLY REASON, BUT WE DID EXECUTE TWO ADDITIONAL TASK ORDER CONTRACTS LAST QUARTER TO HELP US CATCH UP. THAT'S TASK ORDERS FIVE AND SIX, BUT YOU ALL APPROVED THOSE LAST QUARTER. 
          AND THE F STREETS, I THINK IT WAS MENTIONED ALREADY, BUT AS PART OF THE BOND, WE HAD $100 MILLION OF F STREET RECONSTRUCTION, THOSE ARE THE PROJECT COUNTS, THOSE ARE THE BUDGETS IN EACH OF THE COUNCIL DISTRICTS, BUT OUT OF THE 147 PROJECTS, THIS ONE A LITTLE FURTHER AHEAD, 125 HAVE BEEN COMPLETE. SO GREAT JOB BY OUR TEAM THERE IN TERMS OF -- ANTHONY'S TEAM, HELPING OVERSEE THAT AS WELL. BUT 22 PENDING. 
          SO THAT ONE'S A LITTLE AHEAD WHERE THE PED MOBILITY, WE HAVE TO DO A LITTLE BIT MORE WORK ON, BUT I THINK -- I THINK UPDATING YOU AS THE PROGRESS OF THIS IS IMPORTANT, AND WORKING TO EXPEDITE THOSE COMPLETIONS IS KEY. LASTLY, I JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU, THIS IS THE SLIDE THAT YOU SAW TWO WEEKS AGO, SO I KNOW IT'S 2017, '22 BOND, BUT THE N NEXT BOND, I MENTIONED THIS AT THE B SESSION. 
          ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW AND HIGHLIGHT IS THE FIRST COUPLE OF BOXES UP THERE, WHETHER WE DECIDE ON MAY '27 OR NOVEMBER '27 BOND, MY TEAM IS ALREADY WORKING ON THOSE FIRST INITIAL PROJECT IDENTIFICATION, SCOPING, PRIORITIES INTERNALLY WITH DEPARTMENTS, WE'LL BE REACHING OUT TO YOU TO IDENTIFY AND MAKE SURE WE GET YOUR PROJECTS ON THE LIST FOR CONSIDERATION, AND THEN WE'LL BE COMING WITH YOU WITH CONSULTANT SELECTION FOR COST ESTIMATING FOR SOME ASSISTANCE THERE. AGAIN, THAT DOESN'T MATTER IF ■WEDECIDEON MAY '27 OR NOVEMBER 27TH, THAT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH WE CAN AFFORD BASED ON THAT CONVERSATION FROM A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. SO WITH THAT, I THINK I'M 
          READY FOR QUESTIONS. >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          ACTUALLY, THE THIRD PRESENTATION, IF YOU COULD START THAT ONE NOW, 
          [01:10:02]
          THAT WOULD BE... (LAUGHING). >> SHANNON: MEETING 
          ADJOURNED. I'M SORRY. >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: SO THE REAL -- THE REASON THAT I ASKED FOR -- UPDATE ON THE CREATION OF THE DEPARTMENT, YOU GUYS HAVE ALREADY MADE FAST WORK OF THAT, THE QUESTION THAT I HAVE -- OR THE WAY THAT I'M THINKING ABOUT IT AND THAT I WANT THE TAKEAWAY TO BE IS HOW IS THIS AN IMPROVEMENT OVERALL AND FOR OUR RESIDENTS AND FOR OUR BUSINESS OWNERS AND FURTHER WHO LIKELY EXPERIENCE THESE PROJECTS, IS IT THE STRATEGIES THAT ARE DIFFERENT OR IS IT THE -- OR COULD IT BE JUST THAT WE ARE DIVIDING THE PROJECTS BY TYPE AND THAT HAVING THAT LEVEL OF OVERSIGHT -- OR THAT MAKES IT EASIER TO PROVIDE OVERSIGHT AND COMMUNICATION? WHAT IS IT THAT MAKES -- THAT IS GOING TO BE THE KEY -- WHAT'S THE KEY DIFFERENCE HERE? IF WE HAD TO SUM IT UP, WHAT'S THE KEY DIFFERENCE THAT CAN GIVE OUR CONSTITUENTS CONFIDENCE IN THESE NEW -- IN THESE TWO DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS NOW? 
          >> SHANNON: SURE. YEAH, AND I THINK GOING INTO THIS, I HAD AN IDEA, BUT NOW THAT I'VE KIND OF LIVED IT FOR ABOUT FIVE MONTHS WITH THE TEAM, IT'S THE FACT THAT WE GET TO FOCUS ON THOSE 208 ACTIVE PROJECTS, THOUGHS ARE THE BIG LARGE-SCALE CAPITAL PROJECTS, WE CAN FOCUS ON THAT AND ONLY THAT. IT'S CHALLENGING ENOUGH. WE'RE SETTING UP THE DEPARTMENT SO THAT WE'RE NOT JUST ONE PIECE OF A LARGE CITY INFRASTRUCTURE BUILD AND MAINTAIN. MY DEPARTMENT IS REALLY TO BUILD THESE CAPITAL PROJECTS AND SO FAR, WE'VE SEEN SOME IMPROVED RESULTS. 
          I THINK TIME WILL TELL AS I SET THESE KEY METRICS WHETHER IT'S SETTING A KEY METRIC OF A 90% ON SCHEDULE OR WHETHER IT'S SETTING 91% UNDER CONSTRUCTION OR COMPLETE BY A CERTAIN TIMELINE. RESTRUCTURING THE DEPARTMENT TO NOT ONLY FOCUS ON HORNT L AND NOT BE -- HORIZONTAL AND NOT BE TOO STRETCHED THIN TO LOSE FOCUS ON SOME OF THOSE VERTICAL PROJECTS. 
          HEY, HOW DO WE RESTRUCTURE SO WE CAN REALLY BUILD OVERCOMMUNICATION AS THE STANDARD. SO I THINK I'M ABLE TO FOCUS ON ALL OF THAT WHILE ART AND OUR PUBLIC WORKS TEAM, THEY CAN FOCUS ON ALL THE TRAFFIC SIGNALS THAT -- INSTALL NEW ONES THAT ARE NEEDED, TRAFFIC CALMING, YOU KNOW, MOWING THE DRAINAGE CHANNELS, SWEEPING THE STREETS, ET CETERA. 
          SO THAT -- YOU KNOW, THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF MILES OF INFRASTRUCTURE DAILY THAT HE'S MAINTAINING WITH HIS 700 PEOPLE, THAT'S A BEAR. THAT'S A TALL ORDER RIGHT THERE, SO I THINK IT'S THE STR STRATEGIC FOCUS OF MY DEPARTMENT, I THINK IT'S ALREADY PRODUCING BETTER RESULTS, BUT OVER TIME I'LL BE ABLE TO SHOW IT MORE PROJECTS DELIVERED ON TIME WITHIN BUDGET, HOPEFULLY SEVERAL UNDER TIME AND UNDER BUDGET, BASED ON SOME OF THE THINGS I SAID. 
          BUT I THINK IT'S THAT FOCUS, I GET TO FOCUS ON THAT WHILE, YOU KNOW, ART GETS TO FOCUS ON THE OTHER HARD PART OF THE JOB. 
          >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: SO YOU'LL REMEMBER COUNCILMEMBER CASTILLO-ANGUIANO WAS SERVING DURING MY ABSENCE, WHAT'S HAPPENING 
          WITH IT NOW. >> SHANNON: IT WAS ALMOST 900 PEOPLE TOTAL. 
          MY DEPARTMENT IS 188. THE REMAINDER IS PUBLIC WORKS. 
          SO CERTAINLY THE SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF STAFF FOR WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO TO COVER THE CITY FOR ALL THOSE DAILY OPERATIONS, SO THEY ARE A MUCH LARGER DEPARTMENT. AND -- BUT THE 188 IS FOCUSED ON THE PROJECT DELIVERY FOR THOSE EITHER -- CAPITAL PROJECT AND THE SUPPORT SERVICES NEEDED FOR THOSE, LIKE CONTRACT COMPLIANCE AND STUFF LIKE THAT. SO WE'RE SMALLER THAN THEM, AS GOOD AS THEM, RIGHT, ART? OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. WE HAVE A LITTLE COMPETITION GOING, 
          BUT -- >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: GOOD, AS LONG AS IT'S HEALTHY 
          COMPETITION. >> SHANNON: VERY LEGAL THINK. 
          >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: I CAN ALWAYS APPRECIATE THAT. SO I WILL CONSIDER IT OUR ROLE, ESPECIALLY IN THE EARLY DEVELOPMENTS OF THIS NEW DEPARTMENT, TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK AS WE IDENTIFY ISSUES OR PROBLEMS OR GAPS OR AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT THAT WILL HAVE THOSE POLICY SOLUTIONS READY HERE AND WE DEFINITELY ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONTINUE THINKING ABOUT THIS, HEY, THIS IS A PROBLEM I'M SEEING, HOW CAN I RESOLVE THIS? 
          OR IS THERE TRULY A GAP? HOW CAN WE FILL IT? >> SHANNON: YES. 
          REGARDING THE BOND, WE'LL ALSO -- THIS WAS ONE OF THE THINGS WE DISCUSSED AS YOU MENTIONED IS WE HAVEN'T REALLY RECEIVED BOND UPDATES IN THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS NOW, NOT SINTLY, AND SO WANTING -- CONSISTENTLY, AND SO 
          [01:15:03]
WANTING TO, AT LEAST AT THIS COMMITTEE, THIS IS HOW MANY ARE ON TIME, THIS IS WHAT'S GOING ON, ARE THERE ANY PROBLEMS THAT WE MIGHT BE SEEING THAT MIGHT BE TRENDS, ARE THERE WAYS WE CAN IMPROVE THE BOND PROCESS MOVING FORWARD ESPECIALLY AS WE GET READY FOR THE 2027 BOND? BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DELIVERING FOR OUR CONSTITUENCIES. THAT DOES BRING ME TO ONE QUESTION, AND IT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CONTINUE TO WORK THROUGH, BUT I'VE BROUGHT UP A FEW TIMES HOW SEVERAL OF THE DISTRICT TWO PROJECTS SPECIFICALLY FACILITIES, ARE, YOU KNOW, REALLY PUSHING IT ON THE BUDGET AND LOOKING LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE PHASED INTO ADDITIONAL PHASES AND THAT'S GOING TO EAT UP VERY QUICKLY AT THE CAPACITY WE HAVE FOR OUR BOND. AND SO I'M WONDERING HOW DO WE PREVENT OR HOW DO WE MINIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WILL BE NEEDED FROM THE '27 BOND TO COMPLETE THESE PROJECTS? WHAT CAN WE DO NOW TO GET -- TO FINISH THOSE PROJECTS WITHOUT HAVING TO DIP TOO MUCH INTO THE 2027 BOND? 
          >> SHANNON: SURE. WELL, I THINK ONE OF MY SLIDES AND ONE OF MY KEY FOCUS BAISH BECAUSE I HEARD THAT AS I WAS ENTERING INTO THIS ROLE AND CERTAINLY TALKING WITH SOME OF OUR TEAM MEMBERS AND YOU ALL, YOU'RE RIGHT, WHEN WE -- WHEN THE PROJECT BUDGET GETS NOT ESTIMATED PROPERLY AND WE HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, VALUE ENGINEER OR CUT OFF CERTAIN THINGS THAT WE'D LIKE TO DO, NO ONE LIKES TO HEAR THAT. BUT WE ARE -- DO HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY, SO WE'VE ALREADY STARTED INTERNALLY, AND I'VE ACTUALLY STARTED EXTERNALLY LOOKING AT WAYS, HOW CAN WE COST ESTIMATE BETTER? WE HAVE A WAY THAT WE'VE DONE IT IN THE PAST, WHICH I THINK IT HAS SERVED US WELL FOR THE MOST PART, BUT NOW THAT WE HAVE A FEW EXAMPLES, I KNOW THE ONE YOU'RE REFERRING TO IN YOUR DISTRICT AND A FEW ZERO OTHERS, LIKE WHAT COULD WE HAVE DONE  BETTER TO NOT ONLY, ONE, ESTIMATE THE COST, YOU KNOW, TO SEE IF WE HAVE THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY, AND THEN, TWO, IF WE KNOW WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO DO EVERYTHING, LET'S -- LET'S SET EXPECTATIONS EARLY ON. WE DON'T WANT TO PROMISE THE WORLD AND HAVE TO COME BACK AND SAY, OH, SORRY, WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO DO EVERYTHING WE SAID. THAT'S NOT A FUN CONVERSATION. 
          SO IT'S A COMBINATION OF THINGS, BUT I DO HAVE IT AS ONE OF MY THREE MAJOR INITIATIVES. I THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME OUTSIDE ASSISTANCE, ALONG WITH SOME INTERNAL REVIEW OF OUR PREVIOUS COST ESTIMATING TOOLS, SO I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I STILL OWE THIS BODY OR REALLY THE CITY -- OR WE OWE IT, AND THAT'S SOMETHING I'LL BE WORKING ON. BUT -- SO I DON'T HAVE THE FULL ABS YET, BUT I DO -- ANSWER YET BUT I THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME OUTSIDE ASSISTANCE. 
          I'VE ASKED PROBABLY A DOZEN DESIGN AND CONTRACTOR FIRM THAT EXACT SAME QUESTION. EVERYBODY SAYS IT'S CHALLENGING, COSTS HAVE BEEN CRAZY OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS WITH, YOU KNOW -- JUST CONSTRUCTION COST OVERALL, BUT ESCH SEEMS TO -- EVERYBODY SEEMS TO HAVE A DIFFERENT 
          TOOL THAT THEY'VE USED TO KEEP UP WITH. >> SOMETHING MIKE AND I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT AS WELL AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE PUBLIC  PART OF THE BOND PROCESS, PROJECTS WILL CHANGE, THEY GET SMALLER.  SO WE NEED TO BE EXPLICIT AT THOSE POINTS IN THOSE COMMITTEE HEARINGS ABOUT WHAT IS CHANGING ABOUT THAT PROJECT IF THAT BUDGET CHANGES. 
          I THINK OFTEN WE MIGHT CHANGE THE SCOPE -- OR SORRY, THE MONEY ALLOCATED TO A PROJECT BUT NOT SPEAK VERY CLEARLY ABOUT HOW IT CHANGES THE SCOPE OF WHAT IS POSSIBLE. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THAT AS A PART OF THAT PUBLIC PROCESS WHEN THAT 
          HAPPENS. >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: GOT YOU. 
          THAT MAKE SENSES. SO EXFOR EXAMPLAR, IF IT'S A COMMITTEE OF 30-SOME-ODD PEOPLE FROM -- DISTRICT HAS A $12 MILLION PROJECT, THEY SAY CAN WE TAKE $2 MILLION OFF, DO A DIFFERENT PROJECT, THEY MAY NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT 
          THAT $2 MILLION -- >> RIGHT. THAT'S A COMMON OCCURRENCE. SOMETIMES THERE WILL BE A SOLUTION THAT EVERYBODY GIVES A LITTLE BIT OF THIS PROJECT BUDGET, SO WE JUST NEED TO BE EXPLICIT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO EACH OF THOSE PROJECTS AS THAT SHARING 
          IS HAPPENING AMONGST THE COMMITTEE. >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: ABSOLUTELY. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT. I KNOW COUNCILMEMBER KAUR IS INCHI ITCHING 
          FOR THIS ONE. >> KAUR: THANKS, CHAIR. I WANT TO FIRST JUST START OFF BY SAYING THAT MIKE HAS BEEN AN ABSOLUTE INCREDIBLE PARTNER TO WORK WITH OVER THE LAST FOUR MONTHS. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I'M 
          GOING TO -- >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: AND BEFORE THAT. 
          >> KAUR: AND BEFORE THAT. DEFINITELY BEFORE THAT. 
          HE KN KNOWS. I TOLD HIM LAST WEEK, TOO. 
          BUT AFTER OUR LAST MEETING FOR SOUTH ALAMO, SO LET'S COME BACK TO APRIL OF THIS YEAR, WE MET WITH THIS GROUP AND THEY WERE -- THE ENTIRE STAKEHOLDER GROUP THAT WE ARE MEETING WITH IS TRULY IN OUTRAGE. 
          THEY WERE WRITING US LETTERS SAYING WE WEREN'T DOING ENOUGH, WE WEREN'T HEARING THEM. THE FIRST MEETING THAT -- I'M SUPER HONEST, EVERYONE KNOWS THAT. THE FIRST MEETING THAT MIKE PRESENTED AT, NO ONE FROM OUR TEAM COULD ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THEY HAD ON THE SCHEDULE. 
          THEY HAD NO IDEA. AND MIKE WAS LIKE, ALL RIGHT, LET ME TAKE A STAB AT IT. AND THEN SINCE THEN, HE'S LITERALLY MET AND WALKED THE CORRIDORS WITH EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT WANTS TO, HE'S TALKED TO EVERY SINGLE STAKEHOLDER, HEARD THEIR IDEAS AND& IMPLEMENTED THEM WITHIN 
          [01:20:01]
THE SPAN OF FOUR MONTHS, FASTER THAN I'VE EVER GOTTEN A RESPONSE FROM ANYBODY AT CITY STAFF. SO I MEAN, I JUST -- I THINK THIS IS LIKE A PRIME EXAMPLE OF LEADERSHIP MATTERS. BECAUSE AT THE END OF OUR LAST MEETING LAST WEEK, A VERY UNASSUMING INDIVIDUAL THAT LITERALLY STARTED A SMALL BUSINESS PACT TO TELL THE CITY HOW MUCH WE SUCK AT HELPING SUPPORT OUR SMALL BUSINESSES TOLD ME, SHE'S LIKE, MIKE SHANNON IS THE BEST THING THAT WE'VE EVER SEEN COME OUT OF CITY HALL. 
          SO I SAY ALL THAT -- I MEAN, WE CAN CLAP FOR YOU. 
          >> SHANNON: IS YOUR MIC ON? CAN YOU SAY THAT AGAIN? 
          >> KAUR: I KNOW. AND I'M NOT TRYING TO SERIOUSLY BOOST HIM UP, I JUST THINK WHEN WE'RE RESPONSIVE TO WHAT FOLKS ARE TELLING US IN THE COMMUNITY AND DELIVER RESULTS, THEY APPRECIATE IT. 
          AND SO I -- I JUST WANTED -- ALL THAT STUFF THAT HE LISTED ON THE BUSINESS THINGS, I THINK WE SHOULD DO THAT FOR EVERY PROJECT. 
          AND HOW THIS IDEA CAME UP WAS BECAUSE WHEN THE ZOO DID THE GORILLA -- I KNOW, I'M BRINGING UP THE GORILLAS AGAIN. BUT WITH THE GORILLAS AT THE ZOO, THEY HAD THE REALLY PRETTY SIGN SAYING GORILLA EXHIBIT COMING AND THE FOLKS IN SOUTHTOWN WERE LIKE, WE WANT THOSE SIGNS, THEY'RE PRETTIER, INVITING, IT TELLS YOU WHAT THEY'RE DOING. 
          IT TOOK MARCOS AND I MULTIPLE ITERATIONS TO GET THAT RIGHT, BECAUSE WE TRIED, AND THEY WERE LIKE, THAT WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH. 
          SO WE WENT BACK AND FORT WORTH A FEW TIMES ON IT,  BUT EVENTUALLY THEY CAME AROUND. OKAY, YEAH, THANKS FOR DOING THAT, WE APPRECIATE IT. AND -- OKAY. I'M GOING TO STOP MY RANT. I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS ON OVERALL CDD PLANNING. I THINK ONE THING FOR SURE IS WHEN WE'RE GOING -- IF YOU CAN GO TO THE BLOCK WALKING SLIDE, I THINK IT'S ON 12, I THINK WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD STRATEGY ALSO IS CREATING BOUNDARIES FOR WHICH BOUNDARIES YOU'RE GOING TO USE FOR COMMUNICATION AND BLOCK WALKING AND KIND OF LIKE WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN DIFFERENT SCOPES OF PROJECTS, IT WOULD BE MAKING SURE WE'RE CLEAR ON WHAT WE'RE SHARING. 
          THE REASON I BRING THAT UP IS -- AND HILDEBRAND'S NOT A BOND PROJECT, BUT WE'VE BEEN WORKING A LOT ON HILDEBRAND, AND I FELT LIKE WE NOTIFIED REALLY FAR, LIKE WE WENT AT LEAST SIX, SEVEN STREETS UP. 
          BUT THEN FOLKS THAT WERE CLOSER TO BASSE, BASSE BUT -- STILL CAME BACK AND SAID, NO, WE SHOULD BE NOTIFIED, TOO. SO JUST THINKING ABOUT NOTIFICATION RADIUSES I THINK WOULD BE REALLY IMPORTANT. 
          I LOVE THAT YOU'RE HIRING A PR MANAGER. I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD CALL IT PR AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT MANAGER, JUST BECAUSE THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I THINK WOULD BE IMPORTANT IN THAT INDIVIDUAL TO MAKE SURE THEY KNOW HOW TO DO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU'VE SEEN AS SUCCESSFUL. 
          AND NOT JUST COMMS AROUND IT, BUT ACTUAL WORK. FOR THE ROBERT CHRISENER STUDY, I THINK THAT'S GREAT, BUT MY SAME KIND OF THOUGHT HERE WAS WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE RIGHT PMS IN PLACE THAT CAN GO FROM START TO FINISH, THAT CAN DO THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND THEN ALSO EXECUTE THROUGH THE PROJECTS FOR THAT. MY QUESTION ON THAT WAS, HOW DO WE -- WHAT'S THE INTERNAL -- DO THE CURRENT TEAMS THAT ARE SEPARATE USE THE SAME 
          PROJECT MANAGEMENT TEAMS. >> SHANNON: YES, THEY 
          DO. >> KAUR: BUT STILL THINGS MIGHT GET DROPPED. 
          >> SHANNON: YEAH, I THINK LIKE I SAID, WE DO SOME OF IT REALLY WELL AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE'VE JUST SEEN SOME OPPORTUNITIES WHERE, YOU KNOW, THE CONVERSATION THAT WAS REALLY -- PROJECT MANAGER THAT'S FOCUSED ON INSPECTION THAT HAS TO MAKE DECISIONS THAT DAY MAYBE DIDN'T REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT THAT CONVERSATION WAS. IN THE FIELD YOU'RE MAKING DECISIONS AS THE INSPECTOR OR INSPECTION SUPERVISOR, WE NEED THOSE DECISIONS MADE. 
          WITHOUT THAT HISTORICAL KNOWLEDGE, WE'VE SEEN SOME OF THAT DROP. 
          NOW, AGAIN, IT'S NOT ALL. I JUST -- I JUST THINK, YOU KNOW, KEEPING THAT KNOWLEDGE ON THE TEAM FROM START TO FINISH IS 
          GOING TO DELIVER A BETTER PROJECT. >> KAUR: YEAH. 
          SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT -- THE REASON I'M ASKING IS BECAUSE SOMETIMES WHEN YOU TALK TO CONTRACTORS, THEY'LL SAY LIKE, OH, WE'RE WAITING ON CITY STAFF. SO I THINK ONE OF THE METRICS WE COULD ALSO LOOK AT IS NOT JUST TIMELINE TO COMPLETION, BUT HOW LONG IT TAKES 
          RESPONSE TIMES ON BOTH SIDES, RIGHT? >> SHANNON: SURE. 
          >> KAUR: SO WHEN THEY SEND A CHANGE ORDER OR WHEN THEY SEND A -- YOU WANT THIS INSTEAD, HOW LONG IS IT TAKING US TO GET BACK AT AND HAVE A METRIC FOR OUR TARGET. LIKE WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET TO EVERY COMMENT MADE ON A PROJECT IN A WEEK, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE APPROPRIATE TIME IS. 
          >> SHANNON: YES. >> KAUR: AND THEN WE CAN SEE HOW MANY -- WHAT 
          PERCENTAGE ON PROJECTS ARE HITTING THAT AMOUNT. >> SHANNON: YEP. 
          I THINK -- OUR PROJECT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE ALLOWS US TO DO THAT, BUT I THINK EVEN -- YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT THOSE, REPORTING THEM OUT, 
          EVENING -- >> KAUR: DOES IT AUTOMATICALLY SEND OUT 
          REPORTS. >> SHANNON: I DON'T THINK IT'S AUTOMATIC, BUT I THINK WE CAN PULL THAT DATA. THOSE ARE ENTRIES INTO THE SYSTEM THAT THEY WOULD PULL OUT SOME REPORTS. 
          AND IF WE NEED TO BUILD SOME REPORTS, THAT'S -- >> KAUR: I'D LOVE IF WE 
          [01:25:02]
COULD LOOK INTO THAT. SO TO COUNCILMEMBER POINT, I KNOW I'M JUMPING TO BOND, WE USED TO HAVE MONTHLY MEETINGS BUT THEY WERE JUST GOING -- AND JOHN REMEMBERS, THERE WAS JUST SO MUCH INFORMATION AND SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS, BUT I DO THINK WE HAVE TO COME BACK TO A PLACE WHERE WE CAN AT LEAST -- OND OUR MONTHLY REPORTS THAT WE GET FROM PUBLIC WORKS ARE REALLY HELPFUL, BUT IT WOULD BE -- IT WOULD BE GREAT TO BE ABLE TO AT LEAST TARGET COMMUNICATIONS ON BOND. SORRY, YOU CAN GO BACK TO THE OTHER SLIDE, I DIDN'T MEAN TO JUMP YOU. ONE LAST THING -- I HAVE LOTS OF IDEAS ON THIS IINFRASTRUCTURE DASHBOARD, I FEEL LIKE I'VE TALKED ABOUT IT A LOT, WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THE INFILL PLAP, WE HAVE A LOT OF CORE PIECES. WE NEED TO HAVE AN ACTIVE CONSTRUCTION THAT'S VERY CLEAR, INCLUDES EVERYBODY AS A PARTNER, AND I THINK -- DIFFERENT WAYS THAT THEY'RE -- WHAT'S FUNDED, WHAT'S NOT FUNDED, AND WHAT IS -- LIKE IN A USER FRIENDLY WAY. SO RIGHT NOW WHEN YOU OPEN THE IMP, YOU BASICALLY -- IT'S VERY SMALL FONT, IT'S REALLY HARD TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO FILTER AND WHATNOT TO FILTER,S AND IT TAKES FOREVER TO LOAD. SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN LOOK AT SOMETHING ELSE ASIDE FROM ARCHGIS, I THINK WE HAVE TO MAKE THE DATA THAT WE HAVE BETTER UPDATED IT WILL JUST SAY IMP2027, WHICH COULD BE IN THE SUMMER OF 2028 BECAUSE IT'S BASED ON -- AND/OR WHATEVER, SO JUST AGREE TO UPDATE THE TIMELINES ON THAT AS WE GET THEM PROJECTED AND THEN FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MAKE THAT MORE USER FRIENDLY. HOW MUCH TIME ARE YOU 
          GIVING US FOR OUR FIRST ROUND. >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: 7. 
          >> KAUR: OH. COUNCILMEMBE R MUNGIA? >> MUNGIA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND TO MY COLLEAGUE'S POINT, I'LL JUST SAY THAT -- AND THIS GOES INTO BOTH DEPARTMENTS, RIGHT, DESIGN IS SO IMPORTANT TO BE SENSITIVE ABOUT. AND SO WE HAVE A BIG PROJECT ROCK WELL AND WE DECIDED TO DO A PUBLIC INPUT, EVEN BEFORE THE MONEY'S BEEN ALLOCATED FROM US, BECAUSE I WANT SOME INPUT ON DESIGN AHEAD OF TILE. WE DID A CUP SIDEWALK PROJECT  A COUPLE YEARS BACK AND THE ENGINEER HAD MOVED EVERYBODY'S MAILBOX FROM ONE SIDE OF THE DRIVEWAY TO THE OTHER, AND I HAD, YOU KNOW, LIKE 10 CALLS. 
          ONCE THEY KNEW THAT I WAS -- I NEED TO TALK TO EDWARD AND GET MY MAILBOX ON THE OTHER SIDE. 
          IT'S BEEN THERE FOR 33 YEARS, WHY WOULD YOU MOVE IT TO THE OTHER SIDE? SO SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS THAT ON THE SIDEWALK PROJECT, BUT ALSO SOME OF THESE OTHER THINGS, ESPECIALLY WITH LARGE MEDIANS AND ALL THAT, SO I THINK THAT ALL HAS TO BE REALLY SENSITIVE AND MAYBE SOME INPUT AHEAD OF THE FINAL OF THE DESIGN. BECAUSE ONCE THE DESIGN'S FINISHED, I THINK IT'S A LITTLE TOO LATE TO GO BACK AND CHANGE SOME ASPECTS OF IT, SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT -- AND EVERYONE DOES A GREAT JOB. 
          ONCE THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, THEY REALLY DO TRY TO FIND TO ACCOMMODATE THAT REQUEST. I HAVE TO COMMEND Y'ALL FOR THAT. BUT I THINK GETTING IN A LITTLE EARLIER SOMETIMES IS HELPFUL BEFORE DESIGN IS COMPLETE FOR THOSE PROJECTS. ALSO, WHAT I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK AT TOO -- I KNOW WE DID THE F STREETS FOR THE FIRST TIME. 
          I'M INTERESTED IN WHAT THAT LIFE CYCLE OF THOSE STREETS IS GOING TO BE, SINCE THEY'RE F STREETS AND WE DID THEM IN THE BOND. I THINK I HAVE A PERCEPTION I THINK GENERALLY PEOPLE HAVE A PERCEPTION THAT IF IT'S A BOND PROJECT, THE LIVELIHOOD OF THAT PROJECT SHOULD BE STRONGER THAN AN IMP PROJECT. 
          I'M CURIOUS WHAT THEIR GRADE WILL BE COMPARED TO AN IMP PROJECT? IF WE NEEDED CAPITAL DOLLARS TO SUPPLEMENT THIS BUT WE'RE NOT EXPECTING A LONGER LIFE SPAN, WE NEED TO HEAR THAT FROM Y'ALL . SIMILAR TO ZARZAMORA, I TALKED ABOUT THAT WITH Y'ALL. 2012 PROJECT CURRENTLY FAILING. WITHIN TEN YEARS OF THAT PROJECT BEING COMPLETED, IT'S NO LONGER -- IT NEEDS WORK, BASICALLY. I'M JUST INTERESTED IN WHAT THE LIFE SPAN IS FOR OUR BOND PROJECTS. IF WE GO TO SLIDE 11 ON THE FIRST PRESENTATION THAT YOU HAD. THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT. 
          YOU AND I HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS. I THINK SOME STRATEGIES ARE GOING TO WORK OR BE MORE APPLICABLE IN THE DOWNTOWN CORE THAN MARBACH, FOR EXAMPLE. BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE -- AND HOPEFULLY YOU'LL TRACK THIS -- WHERE WE'RE USING SOME OF THESE EXTRA STRATEGIES. 
          IF IT'S MOSTLY DOWNTOWN OR DISTRICT 1, THAT'S A LITTLE BIT PROBLEMATIC FOR ME. 
          ONLY BECAUSE WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS THAT PROJECT IN DISTRICT 1 OR DOWNTOWN IS GOING TO COST MORE THAN WHAT'S ON THE LISTED PRICE. SO YOU HAVE A BOND PROJECT. 
          IT'S A MILLION DOLLARS. BUT WE'RE DOING ALL THESE EXTRA THINGS AND IT'S MOSTLY CONCENTRATED IN DOWNTOWN. THEN WE OUGHT TO KNOW THAT A DOWNTOWN STREET IS GOING TO 
          [01:30:01]
COST 20% MORE, 10% MORE THAN THE LISTED PRICE BECAUSE OF THESE EXTRA THINGS. 
          I GET IT. IT'S A VERY UNIQUE SITUATION, THE AMOUNT OF DENSITY IS VERY DIFFERENT. THE AMOUNT OF BUSINESSES AND TOURISM IS OBVIOUSLY HERE AND NOT IN OTHER PARTS OF TOWN. BUT I DO THINK WE NEED TO KNOW A FINAL TALLY. IT JUST COSTS MORE TO DO WORK DOWNTOWN, WE SHOULD BE 
          PREPARED TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION. >> AS YOU AND I TALKED ABOUT THE OTHER DAY, I PUT THIS UP HERE AND WE'RE USING THE DOWNTOWN PROJECTS, THE LOCAL DOWNTOWN AND STUFF. THIS NEEDS TO BE IMPLEMENTED ON THOSE LARGE-SCALE BUSINESS CORRIDOR PROJECTS, NO MATTER WHERE THEY ARE. SO WE HAD THE CONVERSATION ABOUT MARBACH AND 410. YOU'RE RIGHT. IT'S PROBABLY NOT HELPING VISITORS TO SAN ANTONIO GET FROM THE CONVENTION CENTER OR DOWNTOWN HOTEL TO A COOL SPOT TO EAT AND SHOP AND PLAY OR WHATEVER. BUT THE IDEA OF HOW DO I GET PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THAT AREA OF 410 AND MARBACH TO THE BUSINESSES WITH LIMITED DISRUPTION, THINGS LIKE MARKETING AND OUTREACH FOR THE BUSINESS. 
          MONTHLY MEETINGS WITH THEM TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, WHAT'S CHANGING, HOW IT'S CHANGING, ANSWER THE QUESTIONS. WHETHER WE NEED A CONTRACTED SHUTTLE SERVICE OR NOT. THAT, TO ME, MAY SOUND A LITTLE MORE DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC BUT WAYFINDING, VICTIMS, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS, OR OTHER THINGS SPECIFIC TO THE BUSINESS CORRIDOR, THAT NEEDS TO BE BUILT INTO OUR PROJECT. 
          YOU'RE RIGHT. WE NEED TO KNOW HOW MUCH THAT'S GOING TO COST THE CITY TO DO THAT . WHAT WE'RE FINDING WITH THE PROJECTS, I THINK THIS NEEDS 
          TO BE PART OF OUR NORMAL BUSINESS MOVING FORWARD. >> MUNGIA: THAT'S GOOD. 
          I'M CURIOUS WHEN WE DO THESE OTHER PROJECTS COMING UP, MOST OF THESE COMING ONLINE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO THOSE BUSINESSES. 
          OTHER PROJECTS DID. I UNDERSTAND THERE WERE COMPLICATIONS AND EVERYBODY WAS PLEASED WITH THAT BUT WE ALSO NEED TO HAVE A FORMULA OF WHEN TO UTILIZE THAT OR WHEN WE THINK WE NEED TO HAVE THAT. ST. MARY'S IS A GREAT EXAMPLE BUT BEFORE THAT THERE WAS A STREET -- I FORGET WHICH ONE IT IS. 
          BUT IT STARTED. IT WAS BEING DONE AND THEN EVERYONE HAD ISSUES WITH ACCESS AND THEN THE CITY CAME BACK AND SAID WE'LL HELP WITH YOUR UTILITY BILL 
          OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IT WAS SEVERAL YEARS AGO. >> MCKEE-.>> THE MITIGATION GRAT 
          PROGRAM? >> MUNGIA: YES. ONE OF THE STREETS WAS 
          BLANCO. >> BLANCO ROAD? >> MUNGIA: YEAH. 
          WHERE WE PUT THE MONEY IN HAS ALWAYS BEEN AFTER THE EFFECT HAS HAPPENED. 
          AND, AGAIN, WHEN I TRIED TO DO IT BEFORE WITH MARBACH, MY COLLEAGUES DID NOT AGREE WITH THAT -- AND I UNDERSTAND THAT -- BUT, AGAIN, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A PROBLEM AT SOME POINT WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING THE PROJECT AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO NEED THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. AND THEN IT BECOMES MORE DIFFICULT TO PROVE YOUR DISADVANTAGE WITH YOUR RECEIPTS AND BUILDINGS AND ALL THAT. MY POINT IS WE HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO HAVE THAT MONEY UP FRONT AND LET EVERYBODY KNOW WHAT THE EXPECTATION IS OF THAT BEFORE IT'S ANOTHER SITUATION WHERE WE HAVE TO DO IT AFTER THE FACT. AND THEN IT BECOMES, WELL, I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO APPLY FOR THIS PROGRAM, IT DIDN'T WORK FOR ME. 
          THAT ALL HAPPENS AFTER THE FACT. IF WE CAN GO TO SLIDE 12 ON THE SECOND PRESENTATION. AND MAYBE IT'S THE ONE BEFORE THIS. 
          SORRY. THIS IS DIFFERENT. I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT MIDDLE PROJECT RIGHT THERE. THAT'S GOING TO REMOVE A LOW-WATER CROSSING IN D4 RIGHT IN FRONT OF AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THAT I HAVE TO HAVE ATTENDED, ACTUALLY. MAYBE WE CAN GET WITH VIA ON THIS BUS STOP RIGHT HERE. 
          THAT IS A HORRIBLE BUS STOP AND SO IF THERE'S ANY WAY, SINCE WE'RE DOING A PROJECT THERE, WE HAVE FUNDING AND SO SHOULD THEY. MAYBE WE CAN COORDINATE 
          THAT. THANK YOU. >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: I FOR ONE LIKE MY BUS STOP SLANTED. [LAUGHTER] 
          THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY. >> MUNGIA: THIS IS ACROSS FROM LACKLAND. 
          IF WE CAN WORK ON THAT. >> I KNOW A GUY AT VIA I CAN CALL. 
          >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: COUNCILMEMBER SPEARS. >> SPEARS: THANK YOU, CHAIR. REALLY GREAT PRESENTATIONS. I APPRECIATE THE CAMARADERIE THE TWO OF Y'ALL HAVE. I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT MOVING FORWARD AND I LIKE THE FRIENDLY COMPETITION. I THINK THAT'S GOOD. I TALKED A LOT ABOUT THIS ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT HOW WE WERE GOING TO DIVIDE THIS DEPARTMENT UP. AND THIS LOOKS LIKE THE BEGINNINGS OF GREATNESS HERE. BECAUSE MY HOPE IS THAT -- AND THIS IS KIND OF A 
          [01:35:03]
QUESTION TOO. AS YOU'RE MOVING FORWARD IN THE CAPITAL DELIVERY PROJECTS, THE BOND PROJECTS. AS WE SEE THINGS THAT COME UP THAT MAYBE WE NEED TO CALL IN PUBLIC WORKS ON AND HOW WE CAN COLLABORATE THERE AND SAY, HEY, CAN YOU DO THIS NOW? HOW QUICKLY CAN WE PIVOT? OR PUT THIS FOR NEXT YEAR. 
          HOW WE'RE PLANNING THROUGH SOME OF THOSE SORTS OF THINGS. 
          BUT, AGAIN, LIKE WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, YOU DON'T WANT TO TEAR UP THE ROAD AGAIN OR WHATEVER IT IS. LOOKING AT THE FLEXIBILITY THERE TO INJECT -- IT'S REALLY SAVINGS IN THE LONG RUN, BUT MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST DO THIS BECAUSE IT MAKES SENSE. THAT KIND OF THINKING IS I THINK WHERE WE STARTED WITH ON WANTING TO SEPARATE THE TWO BECAUSE IT'S OVERWHELMING TO TRY TO DO IT ALL IN ONE. I AGREE THAT'S A GREAT IDEA TO HAVE A NEW FTE FOR THE VERTICAL -- THE BUILDINGS AND PARKS. AND I DO LOVE THIS CRADLE TO GRAVE MODEL. THEY USE IT AT TXDOT. IT'S VERY HELPFUL. 
          SPEAKING OF TXDOT, THEY WILL APPRECIATE YOUR EMPHASIS, AS DO I, ON COMPLETING ON TIME. BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN STRESSING GET IT ON TIME. 
          I MEAN, I SEE THEM AND THEY SAY IT JUST AS I'M LEAVING. BE ON TIME. 
          I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT YOU'RE PAYING ATTENTION TO THAT AS WELL. 
          SO YOU MENTIONED WE'RE GOING TO GET SOME BOND UPDATES. MAYBE WE CAN GET SOME MORE INFORMATION FROM YOU OR YOU CAN START TO LAY OUT A CONSISTENT MODEL OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE, WHAT LEVEL OF DETAIL, WHAT METRICS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE SO WE CAN TRACK EVERY TIME AND KEEP TRACK OF HOW THINGS ARE MOVING THROUGH. DO YOU KNOW WHAT SOME OF THE MAIN REASONS THAT CITY PROJECTS FALL BEHIND OR OFFHAND OR IS IT JUST DIFFERENT ALL THE TIME? 
          >> WELL, THERE'S A NUMBER OF REASONS. MY EXPERIENCE SO FAR, WE HAVE ONE PROJECT WHERE WE'RE BEHIND BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE RIGHT PIECE OF LAND FOR A FIRE STATION THAT WE AGREED THAT WE NEEDED TO REPLACE. 
          SO I HEADED UP THERE TO REAL ESTATE. THAT'S NOT TOO COMMON BUT IT'S ONE. THE PROJECT IS WELL BEHIND BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A PIECE OF PROPERTY TO BUILD THE NEEDED IMPROVEMENT. SOMETIMES DESIGN, WHICH INCLUDES PERMITTING, CAN GET A LITTLE SLOW OR BEHIND. IT'S THE DESIGN TEAMS -- WE CAN HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE PRETTY GOOD. WE HAVE A FEW THAT WERE STUCK IN THE FEMA PROCESS FOR, YOU KNOW, THE LETTER OF MAP REVISION PROCESS OR CONDITIONAL LETTER OF MAP REVISION PROCESS. AND THEN CONSTRUCTION. 
          IT COULD BE THAT THE CONTRACTOR IS NOT MEETING THEIR DEADLINES WITH NO REAL REASON AND WE'RE NOT HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE ENOUGH. MANY TIMES IT'S UNFORESEEN THINGS, MAYBE WE DIDN'T DO ENOUGH DESIGN WORK OR UTILITY SUBGRADE ANALYSIS. 
          WE WERE GOING TO DESIGN IT A CERTAIN WAY AND WE RAN INTO A PIPE WE DIDN'T KNOW WAS THERE, WHETHER IT'S SEWER, WATER OR SOMETHING. SO I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF THEM. IT WILL NEVER BE QUITE PERFECT BUT, YOU KNOW, THE TEAM THAT WE HAVE IS WE'RE LOOKING AT THOSE WAYS TO TRY TO MITIGATE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE SCENARIOS. INCLUDING OUR OWN PROCESS, WHICH IS HOW DO WE PROCURE QUICKER, HOW DO WE PUT IT ON THE STREET FOR BIDS. 
          HOW DO WE ANALYZE AND SCORE THE BIDS QUICKER SO WE CAN GET IT TO YOU TO APPROVE IT TO GET STARTED. THERE'S A LOT OF THOSE PIECES. 
          I THINK MY TEAM AND I IDENTIFIED TEN STEPS AND WE'RE TRYING TO ATTACK ALL TEN OF THOSE. BUT THAT'S A LONG ANSWER TO YOUR SHORT QUESTION. 
          THERE'S A LOT TO IT. >> SPEARS: IT ANSWERED A BUNCH OF MY FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS, SO THAT'S GOOD. I WANT TO DOUBLE DOWN OR ECHO -- I WANT TO DOUBLE DOWN ON COUNCILMAN MUNGIA'S POINT ABOUT THE DESIGN. BECAUSE YOU MENTIONED THE MAILBOXES THAT HAVE THE SAME THING. I DON'T KNOW. 
          THEY JUST TALKED TO US OR YOU'RE AT A MEETING AND THEY TELL YOU SOMETHING AND IT LOCKS INTO OUR BRAINS AND WE KNOW THIS. SOMETHING ABOUT A PROJECT. 
          AND THERE'S NO WAY FOR YOU TO KNOW. OR MAYBE JUST DIFFERENT REASONS. I AGREE THAT IF WE CAN KIND OF GET IN ON SOME OF THIS EARLIER, TO YOUR POINT ABOUT DESIGN, THERE'S JUST STUFF WE KNOW ABOUT OUR COMMUNITIES THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU WOULDN'T NECESSARILY HEAR, JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE CONVERSATIONS OR COFFEES OR WHATEVER IT IS THAT WE GET THIS INFORMATION THAT DOESN'T SEEM SUPER IMPORTANT AT THE TIME, NECESSARILY, AND THEN WE FIND OUT ABOUT IT LATER AND GO NO, NO, YOU CAN'T BECAUSE OF XYZ. WHATEVER IT IS. 
          [01:40:02]
I APPRECIATE THAT. AND I ALSO AGREE WITH THIS INFRASTRUCTURE DASHBOARD. 
          I THINK THAT THAT IS A REALLY GOOD IDEA. AND AS MUCH AS WE CAN INTEGRATE EVERYTHING INTO ONE SPACE SO THAT WE CAN REALLY PUSH THAT OUT AND USE IT. I LIKE THAT A LOT. AND I DO HEAR YOU ON THE RED TAPE WITH THE DRAINAGE. I HEAR YOU. I DO UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE DRAINAGE PROJECTS BUT, YEAH. AND I THINK THAT'S IT FOR ME. OH, WAIT. NO. 
          THE INCENTIVES. I LOVE SEEING THAT AND I AM AWARE AND SEE HOW THE EXAGGERATED SCHEDULES COULD BE AN ISSUE. AND THEN ALSO LIKE QUALITY CONTROL, RIGHT? YOU WANT THEM TO REALLY FOLLOW THROUGH. 
          BUT I AM GLAD TO SEE YOU TOOK THAT AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT AND VERY 
          HELPFUL. THANK YOU. >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: THANK 
          YOU. COUNCILMEMBER KAUR. >> KAUR: THANKS, CHAIR. 
          JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS. I'LL BE REALLY QUICK. I WAS TALKING TO SOMEONE OVER AT ANOTHER ENTITY THE OTHER DAY AND THEY WERE MENTIONING WHEN THEY USED TO BE HERE THERE WAS TALKS OF A BAD-ACTOR DASHBOARD. DO WE HAVE SOMETHING LIKE 
          THAT FOR CONTRACTORS? >> WELL -- >> WE HAVE THE RESPONSIBLE BIDDER ORDINANCE BUT IT'S NOT PUBLISHED TO THE WORLD, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE 
          SUGGESTING. >> KAUR: YEAH. THE ONLY REASON I'M WONDERING, I DON'T KNOW HOW WE DO THIS IN A WAY THAT DOESN'T WANT CONTRACTORS TO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH US AT ALL. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, YOU KNOW, THEY ARE FACING SOMETHING WITH A CONTRACTOR THAT I WAS LIKE WE SHOULD KNOW THAT SO WE DON'T EVER HAVE TO WORK WITH THAT WHEN THEY COME FOR A BID. 
          AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF THERE WAS A WAY TO TRACK -- YOU GUYS WERE TALKING EARLIER ABOUT THE DAMAGES, LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND HOW WE COULD SHOW WHICH CONTRACTORS HAD TO DO HOW MANY TIMES OF REWORK. DOING THAT WHILE STILL 
          WANTING THEM TO BID. >> WE CAN TAKE SOME OF THAT FEEDBACK AND SEE WHAT WE COME UP WITH. THE BAD ACTOR LIST ONLINE, WE DO SOMETHING SIMILAR WITH THAT WHEN WE DEVELOPED THE APARTMENT INSPECTION PROGRAM IN DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. 
          IT WAS USEFUL FOR THAT PURPOSE. THIS IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT BUT LET US TAKE THAT BACK AND SEE WHAT WE CAN KIND OF COME UP WITH. 
          YOU'RE RIGHT. WE WANT TO LET OTHER ENTITIES KNOW THAT WE'VE HAD SOME CHALLENGES WITH THIS CONTRACTOR SO AT LEAST BE AWARE. 
          >> KAUR: AND VICE VERSA TOO. >> THAT WOULD BE GREAT. 
          >> KAUR: SO FOR THE BOND, THE BIGGEST QUESTION THAT I HAVE -- AND I ALWAYS GET THIS WHEN I'M KNOCKING ON DOORS. PEOPLE GET REALLY EXCITED WHEN THE BOND PASSES AND THEY HAVE A PROJECT ON THAT BOND. 
          AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO TAKE FOR THAT PROJECT TO BE DONE. 
          SO THEY'RE LIKE, WE VOTED. IT PASSED. WHERE'S MY PROJECT? 
          >> YEP. >> KAUR: IT'S EXPLAINED TO ME NOW THERE IS A REASON EVERYTHING IS NOT SUPPOSED TO ALL HAPPEN IN YEAR ONE. WE PHASE IT OUT OVER THE FIVE YEARS THAT IT'S THEORETICALLY SUPPOSED TO TAKE. 
          I WOULD LOVE IF WHEN WE DO PASS THE BOND, LIKE WHEN WE PUT IT ON THE ACTUAL BALLOT, AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE -- I KNOW IT CAN'T BE A SCIENCE. BUT WE AT LEAST TELL THEM THE PHASE IN WHICH YOUR PROJECT IS GOING TO BE PLANNED FOR. 
          >> SURE. >> KAUR: SO WE HAVE A PHASING, OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE GOING TO DESIGN THESE PROJECTS IN THESE YEARS. THAT WAY AT LEAST THEY CAN UNDERSTAND THAT TIMELINE THAT YOU SEND US. BECAUSE I REMEMBER THE FIRST YEAR I GOT ELECTED AFTER THE BOND, IT WAS LIKE EVERYTHING WAS JUST IN DESIGN FOREVER AND I WAS LIKE THIS IS GOING TO BE REALLY HARD TO EXPLAIN TO COMMUNITIES. 
          A WAY TO PHASE OUT WOULD BE GREAT AS YOU LOOK AT PLANNING THIS UPCOMING BOND. 
          I JUST WANT TO DOUBLE DOWN ON WHAT COUNCILWOMAN SPEARS SAID ABOUT INCENTIVES. 
          I DO THINK THIS COULD BE A WAY TO HELP GET US THROUGH CERTAIN PROJECTS. 
          AND I'M GOING TO, AGAIN, I KNOW THESE CONTRACTORS ARE GOING TO LOVE ME. 
          BUT MIKE CAME IN ON THIS PROJECT FOR SOUTH ALAMO AND BROUGHT SOMEONE ELSE IN AND THEY BASICALLY WERE LIKE I'M BRINGING YOUR COMPETITOR NEXT TO YOU. 
          EVERY TIME I DRIVE BY THERE I'M LIKE LOOK HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ON THAT SITE AND IT'S SPURRING COMPETITION. I THINK THAT'S A GREAT DECISION. 
          AS MUCH AS WE CAN DO INCENTIVES TO GAUGE. I FEEL LIKE OUR TEAM KNOWS WHEN SOMEONE IS LIKE, OH, THAT PROJECT SHOULD NOT TAKE THAT LONG, THEORETICALLY. 
          >> SURE. >> KAUR: I WANTED TO DOUBLE DOWN ON THAT. 
          THANKS, CHAIR. SEE, THAT WAS QUICK. >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: THANK 
          YOU, COUNCILMEMBER. COUNCILMEMBER MUNGIA. >> MUNGIA: I'LL GO AGAIN. 
          >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: YOU DON'T HAVE TO. >> C.>> MUNGIA: ONE SMALL THING AT THE BOND MAP HERE. I THINK THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF AN ISSUE WITH THE 2017 
          [01:45:02]
MAP. WHEN YOU GO TO CLICK ON A PROJECT, IT WILL GO BACK TO THE MAP IN GENERALLY. 2022 BOND MAP, IF YOU CLICK A PROJECT, IT WILL TELL YOU ALL THE DETAILS. YOU MIGHT JUST WANT TO DOUBLE CHECK ON THE 2017. 
          IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S SOME ISSUES WITH THAT. >> I WISH I COULD SAY WE DID THAT ON PURPOSE FOR THIS MEETING TO SEE IF ANYBODY IS USING IT, BUT WE'LL TAKE A 
          LOOK AT IT. >> MUNGIA: THANK YOU. >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: THANK Y'ALL BOTH FOR THE PRESENTATION. THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME AT THE TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE, WELCOME. 
          I'LL SAY THAT MIKE IS KNOWN AS CAPTAIN SAVE A DEPARTMENT. 
          SO THE COMPETITION WILL BE IMMENSE, I'M SURE. >> YOU SET ME UP BUT MIKE'S HEARD THIS JOKE A COUPLE OF TIMES. I'M REALLY PLEASED TO BE HERE AND PART OF THE TEAM. I THINK IT'S A PERFECT COMBINATION. 
          YOU'VE GOT BRAINS AND GOOD LOOKS AND THEN YOU'VE GOT MIKE SHANNON. 
          [LAUGHTER] >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: WONDERFUL. 
          THE TIME IS NOW 3:52. WE WILL
