MR.

[D.1. Items of Community Interest (Communications Director Jon Sasser)]

GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR COUNSEL.

HELLO EVERYBODY.

UH, WE'VE GOT A BIT OF A LIGHT AGENDA HERE FOR THE SUMMER MONTHS.

UH, WE'RE GONNA START OFF WITH OUR MUNICIPAL COURT AND OUR TOWN HALL BEING CLOSED THIS THURSDAY FOR THE JUNETEENTH HOLIDAY PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING.

THE NEXT ONE IS GOING TO BE TUESDAY, JULY 1ST.

UH, THE TOWN HALL AND THE COURT WILL ALSO BE CLOSED IN OBSERVANCE FOR, UH, INDEPENDENCE DAY JULY 4TH, AND THE NEXT TOWN COUNCIL MEETING'S GONNA BE TUESDAY, JULY 15TH.

UH, A COUPLE OF OTHER NOTES TO MENTION HERE.

UH, WE ARE VERY PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT OUR WATER, WATER QUALITY REPORT IS OUT AND THAT THE, UH, THAT WESTLAKE'S WATER CONTINUES TO MEET OR EXCEED ALL SAFETY AND QUALITY STANDARDS, REFLECTING OUR ONGOING COMMITMENT TO PROVIDING RESONANCE WITH CLEAN, RELIABLE DRINKING WATER.

AND YOU CAN SEE THE FULL REPORT ONLINE, AND, UH, YOU PROBABLY RECEIVED THIS IN YOUR MAILBOXES AS WELL.

SO WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THAT.

CONGRATULATIONS TO, UH, DIANA RENDER AND ALEXA FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER FOR ALL TO SEE.

SO IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, YOU CAN GO ONLINE OR JUST TO YOUR MAILBOX AND CHECK THAT OUT.

UH, REMINDER THAT VACATION WATCH IS IN FULL EFFECT FOR, UH, KELLER PD.

IF YOU CALL, IF YOU'RE GONNA BE OUT OF TOWN FOR A FEW DAYS OVER THE SUMMER ON VACATION, YOU CAN CALL KELLER PD AND THEY'LL, UH, THEY'LL COME BY YOUR HOUSE REGULARLY TO CHECK IT OUT, MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S OKAY.

YOU CAN GET THAT INFORMATION ON THE, UH, THE FRONT, UH, OF OUR WEBSITE AS WELL.

AND THEN FINALLY, UH, AN EVENT WE'RE SUPER EXCITED ABOUT, UH, IS COMING UP ON JULY 2ND.

IT'S, UH, THE PLANTING OF THE FLAGS.

WE, WE DID THIS LAST YEAR.

AND, UH, VERY AMBITIOUS MAYOR HAS DECIDED TO DOUBLE OUR EFFORTS THIS YEAR.

SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED WHAT WE DO ABOUT THAT HERE EVERY YEAR.

WE'RE GONNA KEEP DOUBLING AND WE'RE GONNA SPILL OVER TO ROANOKE AND KELLER.

NO, SOON.

WE WON'T DO THAT, I PROMISE .

BUT, UH, SO ANYWAY, IF YOU, IF YOU GUYS ARE FAMILIAR WITH WHAT WE DID LAST YEAR FOR THE FIRST TIME, IT WAS WHEN WE PLANTED THE FLAGS, UH, WE GOT A BUNCH OF VOLUNTEERS.

IT WAS A LOT OF FUN.

UH, SO THIS YEAR IT'S GONNA BE ON, UH, JULY 2ND.

WE'RE GONNA PLAN 'EM A COUPLE OF DAYS EARLIER SO EVERYBODY CAN ENJOY 'EM.

THAT'S GONNA BE JULY 2ND AT 8:00 AM AND EVERYBODY'S GONNA MEET AT THE FIRE STATION.

SO ANYBODY WHO'S INTERESTED IN COMING DOESN'T HAVE TO BE WESTLAKE RESIDENTS.

JUST, UH, BRING YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY.

UH, WE ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO SHOW UP.

WE'RE GONNA DO 2000 FLAGS THIS YEAR.

UH, LAST YEAR WE, UH, WE DID, UH, UH, DAVIS, UH, BOULEVARD FROM ONE 14 TO DOVE.

NOW THIS YEAR WE'RE GONNA DO SOLANA BOULEVARD FROM DAVIS TO ONE 14.

UH, SO AGAIN, 2000 FLAGS.

WE NEED ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET.

IT'S, IT'S GONNA BE A LOT OF FUN.

IT'S A GREAT COMMUNITY EVENT.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S JUST KIND OF BLOSSOMED, UH, UH, OUT OF NOWHERE LAST YEAR.

AND, UH, IT'S, IT'S GONNA BE A LOT OF FUN FOR SURE.

UM, ONE THING I DID TALK TO LIFETIME, THEY'RE GONNA GET A CREW TO HELP US ON SOME OF THIS.

CAN WE DO A SIGNUP? I NEED TO KIND OF KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE WE HAVE.

SO AS I'VE KIND OF PUT THE LOGISTICS TOGETHER, YES.

UH, WE NEED TO ASK PEOPLE TO BRING THE DRILLS WE'LL HAVE, BECAUSE THE GROUND IS REALLY HARD WEIGHT.

IF WE CAN WATER, MAYBE GET OUR FRIENDS TO WATER, MAYBE BEFORE THAT.

BUT, UH, WE'LL HAVE DRILL BITS.

WE'LL HAVE ALL THE SUPPLIES, THE FLAGS ARE ALREADY IN, BUT I'D LIKE TO KNOW A SIGNUP SHEET SO WE CAN, WE CAN BE A LITTLE MORE FORMAL ABOUT IT.

SO WE KNOW WHO'S SHOWING UP.

ON THE AGENDA OF PRESENTATIONS WITH DISCUSSION, E ONE WESTLAKE ACADEMY BRANDING UPDATE, COMMUNITY PARTNER RSW, DR.

SO WE'VE ALREADY STARTED, UH, PROMOTING THAT, AND WE'RE GONNA PROMOTE IT PRETTY HEAVY FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.

SO THAT'S GONNA BE A LOT OF FUN.

AND THEN ONE FINAL NOTE, UH, JUST A REMINDER THAT, UH, JULY 4TH IS A FRIDAY, BUT THAT'S NOT GONNA IMPACT THE TRASH.

IT WILL BE A SCHEDULED, UH, BULK PICKUP WILL BE SECOND AND FOURTH FRIDAYS OF EVERY MONTH.

SO THAT WILL NOT BE IMPACTED.

THOSE ARE YOUR ITEMS OF COMMUNITY INTEREST.

THANKS, JOHN.

INDEED.

AND NEXT

[E.1. Westlake Academy Branding Update, Community Partner RSW (Dr. Kelly Ritchie, Head of School)]

RICHIE.

I THINK JOE, JOE AND PHIL IN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THIS, BUT I THINK OUR CURRENT MARKS AND BRANDING HAVE PRETTY MUCH BEEN WHAT HAS BEEN SINCE THE SCHOOL WAS INSTITUTED.

SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TONIGHT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE WORK THAT'S BEEN GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES WITH NEW BRANDING AND LOGOS FOR THE ACADEMY.

AS YOU KNOW,

[00:10:01]

SO WE'VE MODERNIZED THOSE A LITTLE BIT.

WE, OUR COMMUNITY PARTNER, ONE OF OUR PARENTS AND OWNER OF A, WELL, I'M GONNA SLAUGHTER.

IT'S, IT'S NOT JUST GRAPHIC DESIGN, BUT IT'S A LOT.

UH, HE DOES, HE DOES A LITTLE BIT FOR BIG PEOPLE.

AND WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT TOO.

OUR SAID CREATIVE, MR. DURRIS IS HERE WITH US, AND HE HAS BEEN WORKING ALONGSIDE US.

MR. SASSER HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN THIS WORK.

SO IT HAS BEEN, UH, A REALLY GREAT PROJECT TO BE A PART OF.

AND I'D LIKE TO HAVE JOE AND MR. DURAS COME UP HERE AND TALK TO US ABOUT WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON.

HELLO EVERYONE.

UH, IF I HAVEN'T HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING YOU YET, I'M JOE DURDEN.

I'M THE COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER AT WESTLAKE ACADEMY.

UH, BEFORE MR. DURST SHARES THE INCREDIBLE WORK THAT HE AND HIS TEAM AT RSW CREATIVE, UH, HAVE, HAVE PUT TOGETHER FOR US.

UH, I WANTED TO GIVE A LITTLE CONTEXT ABOUT WHY THIS REBRANDING EFFORT MATTERS FOR THE SCHOOL AND, UH, HOW WE GOT TO THE POINT WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.

IF YOU'VE BEEN ON CAMPUS RECENTLY, YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN SEVERAL DIFFERENT IMAGES THAT MIGHT REPRESENT WESTLAKE ACADEMY AS A WHOLE.

UM, WHETHER IT BE THE SEAL THAT HAD THE TAN BACKGROUND, IT'S ETCHED INTO THE BRADLEY LIBRARY MAIN WINDOW.

IT'S ENGRAVED ON THE METAL PLATE.

AS YOU WALK INTO THE SCHOOL, UH, YOU MIGHT SEE THE, UH, BLACKSMITH WORKING OVER AN ANVIL.

THAT'S BEEN OUR LOGO FOR THE LAST YEAR OR TWO.

UH, IF YOU HEAD DOWN TO THE FIELD HOUSE OR DO ANYTHING WITH ATHLETICS, YOU'LL SEE THE HAMMER.

UM, THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS WE HAVE MULTIPLE MARKS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO SYMBOLIZE THE ENTIRE SCHOOL.

SO WE WANT TO, UM, CONDENSE THOSE AND STRENGTHEN OUR BRAND UNITY AT THE SAME TIME.

AND MR. DURST AND AND HIS TEAM HAVE DONE AN EXCEPTIONAL JOB FOR US.

WITH THAT, UH, THESE LOGOS HAVE UNDERGONE SMALL TWEAKS OVER THE YEARS.

FOR INSTANCE, THERE'S THE, UH, THE BLACKSMITH LOGO THAT SOME PEOPLE REFER TO AS THE BLOB THAT MAYBE HAS THE APRON THAT KIND OF FALLS OUT OVER THE FRONT.

UH, YOU MIGHT ALSO SEE THE ONE WITH A TAIL WHERE THE, THE TAIL, YOU CAN'T UN APRON AFTER YOU KNOW IT, FOLKS OUT IN THE BACK.

UM, THESE LOGOS HAVE UNDERGONE SOME SMALL TWEAKS OVER THE YEARS, BUT WE, WE HAVEN'T HAD A FULL TRUE, UM, MODERN MODERNIZATION OR REDESIGN OF OUR VISUAL IDENTITY IN, IN 21 YEARS.

UH, THIS REBOUND IS ABOUT CONSOLIDATING THOSE MANY VISUALS INTO ONE UNIFIED, RECOGNIZABLE MARK THAT CLEARLY REPRESENTS WHO WE ARE AS A SCHOOL AND A COMMUNITY.

UH, THIS PROCESS ACTUALLY BEGAN IN APRIL OF 2024 WHEN MR. DURST REACHED OUT TO DR.

SHELLEY MYERS OF THE FOUNDATION JUST ASKING IF THEY COULD USE CREATIVE HELP, UH, IN, IN THEIR DAY TO DAY.

AND SHE FORWARDED IT TO ME.

AND IF YOU WERE HERE WITH US, UH, IN APRIL OF 2024, WE WERE NOT REALLY IN A SPOT AT THE ACADEMY TO MAKE THAT SORT OF WIDE SWEEPING, UH, CHANGE.

WE, WE HAD A COUPLE PEOPLE STEPPING INTO INTERIM ROLES, AND WE JUST DIDN'T HAVE THAT FULL DECISION MAKING ABILITY TO, TO GO WITH IT.

SO WE TABLED IT FOR THE TIME.

NOW, IF YOU FAST FORWARD TO AUGUST OF THIS YEAR, DR.

RITCHIE'S NOW BEEN HIRED.

UM, WE WERE IN A, OUR FIRST COMMUNICATIONS MEETING OF THE YEAR, FIRST OR SECOND, SOMEWHERE IN THERE.

AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT UPDATING THE SIGNS THAT ARE ON OTTINGER TO MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE PARENT FRIENDLY.

AND IN THAT CONVERSATION, WE REALIZED DR.

RITCHIE WAS OPEN AND, AND NOT JUST OPEN, BUT EXCITED TO EXAMINE SOME OF THESE THINGS AND HOW WE CAN MAKE OUR VISUAL IDENTITY AND OUR, OUR, OUR BRAND MUCH STRONGER.

UM, SO WE REACHED BACK OUT TO MR. DURST AND STARTED THE PROCESS OF RE-IMAGINING WHAT WESTLAKE ACADEMY SHOULD COMMUNICATE THROUGH ITS BRAND.

UH, AFTER SEVERAL GREAT, AFTER SEVERAL GREAT DISCUSSIONS, WE BROUGHT IN VOICES FROM THE GREATER BLACKSMITH COMMUNITY.

WE HAD MEMBERS OF OUR HOUSE OF COMMONS JOIN US.

WE HAD MEMBERS OF THE BOOSTER CLUB JOIN US AND, UH, THE FOUNDATION, OUR ADMIN TEAM, JUST TO GET MORE VOICES TO, TO MAKE SURE WE REALLY ENCOMPASSED WHAT WE WANTED TO WITH THIS PROJECT.

UH, WHAT RSW CREATIVE ULTIMATELY DELIVERED IS FAR BEYOND WHAT I THINK DR.

RIE AND I COULD HAVE IMAGINED WHEN WE STARTED THIS LITTLE PROJECT TO UPDATE THE SIGNAGE OUTSIDE OF, UH, WESTLAKE ACADEMY.

UM, WE'RE INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL TO MR. DURST AND THE ENTIRE RSW TEAM AND THEIR CREATIVITY AND COMMITMENT AND, AND COLLABORATION WITH US IN THIS WHOLE PROCESS.

UH, I AM THRILLED TO NOW GET TO THE EXCITING PART WHERE MR. DURST CAN WALK YOU THROUGH AND SHOW YOU WHAT, UH, WHAT HE'S BEEN WORKING ON FOR WELL OVER A YEAR AT THIS POINT, AND, AND BEEN AN INCREDIBLE COMMUNITY PARTNER FOR US.

UH, SO AT THIS POINT, I'LL WELCOME MR. DURSO.

THANKS, JOE.

HEY, MAYOR.

COUNCIL, I GET TO DO THE FUN PART.

SO LET ME, I NOW, UH, JOE HAD SPOKEN BRIEFLY ABOUT THIS WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT LOGOS, EVERYTHING YOU HAD ACROSS CAMPUS.

WE TOOK A LOOK AT THIS AND AS WELL AS JUST GOING ONTO THE CAMPUS.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL, UH, SCHOOL, BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGS, BUT I COULDN'T HELP BUT NOTICE THERE WERE A LOT OF LOGOS, A

[00:15:01]

LOT OF VARIATIONS OF LOGOS.

SO I WAS HONORED TO BE ABLE TO STEP IN AND HELP OUT WITH THE PROCESS AND, UH, WORK ON THIS PROJECT.

SO IT'S EQUALLY AS EXCITING FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO SEE THIS ALL COME TOGETHER AND FOR IT TO, YOU KNOW, BECOME A REALITY.

SO IT HAS BEEN A PROCESS OVER A YEAR, BUT, UH, IT'S BEEN, UH, A GOOD PROCESS AND ONE THAT THE OUTCOME I THINK IS, IS WELL DESERVED OF WHAT I'M GONNA SHOW YOU HERE.

SO WITH THAT, I PRESENT YOU THE NEW LOGO FOR WESTLAKE ACADEMY, AND WE REALLY WANTED TO FIND OUT A MARK THAT REPRESENTED THE ACADEMY WAS, YOU KNOW, TIMELESS.

WE BROUGHT IN THE CREST, BUT THEN ALSO MODERNIZED IT, UH, USING BIG, BOLD VISUALS.

THAT'S A REALLY BIG TREND NOW BECAUSE IT HAS TO GO ON, BRANDING HAS TO GO ON SO MANY DIFFERENT ELEMENTS, SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS.

BEING ABLE TO INSTANTLY SEE AND RECOGNIZE THE SYMBOL AS WESTLAKE ACADEMY.

SO THE WA FORMS A MONOGRAM, WHICH THEN IF IT'S, IF YOU LOOK AT IT, IT REALLY RESEMBLES AN ANVIL.

IT'S NOT, UH, AN EXACT REPLICATION OF AN ANVIL.

BUT, UH, MEANT TO, YOU KNOW, GIVE A NOD TO THAT PART OF THE BLACKSMITH CULTURE.

AND THEN WE'VE CENTERED IT WITHIN THE CREST.

WE LOOKED AT THE COLOR PALETTE OVERALL AND REALLY WANTED TO TRY MODERNIZE THE COLOR PALETTE A LITTLE BIT.

WE'VE GONE THROUGH THIS EXTENSIVELY AND TESTING COLORS, LOOKING AT DIFFERENT, UH, VARIATIONS.

BUT, UH, THE COLOR PALETTE NOW, WE WANTED TO STAY TRUE TO YOUR COLORS OF THE CRIMSON AND THE DARK BLUE.

WE'VE JUST BRIGHTENED THEM A LITTLE BIT.

SO IT GIVES IT A MORE MODERN FEEL AND A LITTLE MORE ENERGY LIFE TO THE OVERALL BRAND.

HERE YOU CAN SEE THE APPLICATION, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU STARTED GETTING INTO THE WA, JUST THE, THE MARKET ITSELF.

IT STARTS TO SIMPLIFY IT.

IT CREATES A REAL CLASSIC KNIGHT'S LOOK FOR THE POLOS THAT YOU WOULD SEE FOR THE KIDS', UNIFORMS, THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO THIS WILL BEGIN TO GET APPLIED ACROSS DIFFERENT MATERIALS.

AND I SHOULD SAY THAT IN EDUCATIONAL BRANDING, YOU'VE GOT TWO SEPARATE PIECES OF IT.

UH, YOU'VE GOT THE EDUCATIONAL PART, WHICH IS REALLY FOR THE SCHOOL.

AND THEN, UH, YOU KNOW, AS YOU'VE SEEN WITH ALL YOUR ALMA MATER'S, THEY'LL BE AN EXTENSION TO THE ATHLETICS.

SO THAT YOU'LL SEE HERE IN JUST A MINUTE.

UH, WE ALSO STARTED TO EXPLORE WHAT THIS WOULD LOOK LIKE FOR THE SCHOOL MATERIALS.

NOW THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA BE AN ONGOING PROCESS.

UM, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE A LOT OF MATERIALS AND A LOT OF THINGS THAT, UH, WILL NEED TO BE RE REBRANDED AND LOOKED AT, YOU KNOW, AND SO I IMAGINE IT'S GOING TO TAKE NOT ONLY MONTHS, BUT YEARS, YOU KNOW, I IMAGINE TO KIT ALL ACROSS, OVER ALL THE PIECES AND BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THOSE.

SO, UM, WE ALSO HAD AFFILIATE BRANDS.

SO EACH ONE OF THOSE AFFILIATE BRANDS HAD ITS OWN LOGO MARK.

AND SO HOW DO WE START TO STANDARDIZE THAT SO THAT IT'S EASY FOR PEOPLE WHEN THEY COME IN, THEY'RE NOT HAVING TO RECREATE A NEW LOGO.

SO THIS GIVES US A FOUNDATION TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

AND SO IF YOU HAD ANOTHER AFFILIATE BRAND COME IN, WE'VE ALREADY GOT A STRUCTURE SET UP FOR THAT TO WORK.

UM, THE OTHER THING WE LOOKED AT WAS THE SEAL.

UH, NOW WE DID NOT WANNA LOSE.

WE COULD LOSE THE TAIL AND THE BLOB, BUT WE WERE OKAY WITH THAT , BUT WE DID NOT WANT TO LOSE, UH, THE HISTORY OF THE SEAL THAT YOU HAD.

SO WE REIMAGINED WHAT THE, UH, BLACKSMITH WOULD LOOK LIKE.

AND THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS, WE ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THE TOWN HAD ITS OWN SEAL.

SO WE WERE, WE LOOKED AT THAT AND WE MADE IT REALLY UNIQUE JUST TO THE SCHOOL FOR THIS APPLICATION.

AND, UH, THE TOWN HAS ITS OWN, OWN SEAL.

THEN WE GET INTO THE ATHLETIC BRANDING, AND THIS IS WHERE WE CAN PUSH IT, UH, MORE BEYOND JUST THE CLASSIC CREST THAT WE HAVE FOR THE EDUCATIONAL, UH, BRAND.

AND SO FOR THIS, WE BROUGHT IN THE WA MONOGRAM AND PUT THE TRADITIONAL COLLEGIATE STROKE AROUND IT.

WE'VE PULLED IT OUTSIDE OF THE CREST, AND HERE YOU CAN SEE WHERE WE START TO APPLY IT TO, LIKE FOOTBALL HELMET.

SO IT GIVES A VERY, VERY CLASSIC, JUST, UH, BOLD LOOK THAT WILL EXTEND TO ALL YOUR DIFFERENT ATHLETIC DEPARTMENTS.

WE STARTED TO MAKE SOME, DO SOME OTHER EXPLORATION OF HOW THIS WOULD FIT INTO LIKE, AREAS LIKE BASEBALL, BASKETBALL.

WE DO HAVE A SPIRIT MARK, WHICH IS THE CROSSED HAMMERS.

AND GOING FOR THE WA IT'S ONE OF THE CHALLENGES WE RAN INTO WAS, YOU KNOW, HOW DO YOU REPRESENT A BLACKSMITH? WE EXPLORED CHARACTERS, WE EXPLORED THE ANVIL

[00:20:01]

HAMMERS.

SO WE, WE WENT THROUGH THAT EXTENSIVELY.

AND, UH, THIS IS WHERE WE LANDED THE, HERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF THE BASEBALL UNIFORMS. SO JUST, UH, AGAIN, REALLY CLASSIC, NICE LOOK.

WA IS VERY SIMPLE, BUT A STRONG, BOLD SYMBOL, UH, ON THE, ON THE UNIFORMS. AND THEN THIS SHOWS JUST HOW IT WOULD EXTEND INTO, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE OTHER PROGRAMS IF YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO USE IT AS AN IDENTIFIER.

SO FOR YOUR NEW BRAND ARCHITECTURE, YOU'VE GOT YOUR, YOUR PRIMARY LOGO, YOUR EDUCATIONAL LOGO.

YOU'VE GOT YOUR SECONDARY MARKS, WHICH YOU'RE GONNA BE YOUR ATHLETIC MARKS THAT COME IN, AND THEN YOUR AFFILIATE BRANDING.

SO THIS WILL ALL CONTINUE TO ROLL OUT AND UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S GONNA TOUCH EVERY PIECE OF THE CAMPUS AND, UH, A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS.

SO I IMAGINE IT'LL BE A, A GRADUAL PROCESS.

AND THAT'S IT.

ANY QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING? I JUST THINK IT LOOKS GREAT.

AWESOME.

I JUST, I MEAN, I JUST REALLY EXCITED FOR, AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, AS WE, UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK ABOUT THE SCHOOL.

WE'RE GETTING READY TO ENTER OUR 22ND YEAR, KELLY, IT'S GONNA BE YOUR SECOND YEAR.

AND ALL THE STUFF WE HAVE WITH ARTS AND SCIENCES, BUILDING AESTHETIC, OUR FIELD, THE THINGS WE'RE DOING FOR ATHLETICS, UM, THIS IS JUST PERFECT, PERFECT.

KIND OF GOING FORWARD.

WE, WE CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR YOUR TIME DOING THIS.

OH YEAH.

THIS LOOKS, I'M HONORED TO BE ABLE TO WORK ON IT.

SO IT WAS, IT'S FUN.

IT'S, IT'S, WHAT WE DO IS FUN AND IT'S FUN SEEING IT COME TO LIFE.

SO I TOLD MR. DURRIS THIS MORNING, JOE AND I BOTH DID THAT.

UM, THE HOURS SPENT ON THIS, LIKE WHEN I SAY WE COULDN'T HAVE AFFORDED THIS, WE REALLY COULDN'T HAVE AFFORDED THIS.

AND I, I DON'T SAY THAT RIGHTLY.

HE HAS GIVEN SO GENEROUSLY OF HIS TIME AND HIS TALENTS, MULTIPLE MEETINGS, REWORKS, UH, COMING BACK FOR MORE DISCUSSIONS, LOOKING AT COLOR PALETTES OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

HE, AND IT WASN'T JUST HIM.

HE HAD A WHOLE TEAM WORKING ON THIS FROM HIS COMPANY.

SO WE ARE, WE ARE VERY, VERY GRATEFUL.

VERY.

UM, I MEAN, WE DID FIND OUT THROUGH THIS PROCESS THAT WE HAD SOME LOGOS THAT WERE PLAGIARIZED.

SO THOSE ARE GOING AWAY.

THOSE ARE GOING AWAY.

AND WILL WE HAVE THESE REGISTERED? WE TALKED ABOUT THAT.

SO, UH, WE DO MORE MOSTLY CORPORATE BRANDING.

AND SO A LOT OF TIMES WE'LL ENGAGE WITH THEIR CORPORATE TEAMS TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY IS IF YOU DO THAT, YOU JUST, YOU'LL WANNA MAKE SURE THAT IT GETS INTO, WE'LL NEED TO GIVE YOU DIFFERENT MARKS FOR LIKE TM REGISTRATION.

AND ONCE YOU HIT THOSE PHASES, AND THEN YOU WOULD BE WANTING TO GO AFTER LIKE, PEOPLE, IF THEY EVER USED YOUR MARK, BECAUSE THAT'S ONE OF THE LITMUS TESTS OF LIKE, SO IT JUST DEPENDS ON IF YOU WANT TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

BUT I, I BELIEVE YOU'RE ENGAGING WITH COUNSEL, RIGHT? TO YEAH.

HOW DO WE PROTECT IT AND YEAH.

SOME OF THE ISSUES WE'VE HAD.

BUT, UH, YES, THAT, THAT PROCESS, IF YOU DID GO THROUGH IT, WE WOULD, YOU KNOW, INDICATE THAT REGISTRATION ON THE LOGOS AND AND THAT'D BE BOTH ON THE ACADEMIC AND THE ATHLETIC SIDE.

SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY, I DIDN'T, I KNOW YOU SENT ME SOME STUFF A COUPLE YEARS AGO ON ATHLETICS.

I SAW JUST LIKE EARLY ON AND I REALLY DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THE BRANDING UNTIL THE FIRST MEETING.

THEY ALL INVITED ME TO VERY MUCH NEEDED.

IT'S A REFRESH, GONNA BE A DIFFERENT SCHOOL GOING FORWARD.

WE'RE GONNA GONNA BE BIGGER AND BETTER AND, UH, THINK IT PLAYS IN PERFECTLY WITH WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO.

AGENDA, ITEM E TWO PRESENTATION REGARDING THE RESULTS OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE WATER MASTER PLAN STUDY, INCLUDING POPULATION WATER DEMAND OBJECTIONS, HYDRAULIC MODELING ANALYSIS, AND THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN.

THANK YOU AGAIN.

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL MICHAEL? YEAH, THANK YOU.

TOP KELLY.

THANK YOU AND JOE.

UM, NEXT

[E.2. Presentation regarding the results and recommendations of the Town of Westlake Water Master Plan study, including population and water demand projections, hydraulic modeling analyses, and the Capital Improvement Plan (Cheryl Taylor, P.E., Director of Public Works)]

CHERYL, GOOD EVENING.

HOW ARE YOU? GOOD.

THE WATER MASTER PLAN CONTRACT WAS APPROVED SEPTEMBER 3RD OF LAST YEAR, THAT BEGINNING NINE MONTH LONG PROJECT TO STUDY THE TOWN'S WATER SYSTEM IN AN EFFORT TO STAY AHEAD OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.

YOU'VE HEARD ME SAY THESE BEFORE.

THE STAFF'S TOP THREE PRIORITIES FOR THE TOWN'S WATER SYSTEM ARE REDUNDANCY, ADEQUATE SUPPLY, AND EFFICIENT OPERATION DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND EMERGENCY SITUATIONS.

SO THESE ARE THE SCENARIOS THAT WE CONTEMPLATED TO PRIORITIZE THE WATER, MA WATER CIP PROJECTS IN THE WATER MASTER PLAN.

AND I DID PUT HARD COPIES OF THESE FOR YOU IN CASE YOU WANTED TO TAKE SOME NOTES ON THEM.

SO THIS EVENING WE HAVE, UM, OUR CONSULTANT HERE TO PRESENT THE, THE RESULTS OF THE PLAN FOR YOU.

[00:25:01]

WELL, I'VE BEEN HERE A LOT LATELY.

SO EXCITED TO BE HERE TO TALK ABOUT REALLY THE, THE RESULTS OF WHAT THIS MASTER PLAN STUDY EVENTUALLY DID.

LIKE CHERYL SAID, WE REALLY KIND OF KICKED THIS OFF BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR.

SO THE INTENTION IS TO REALLY JUST PROVIDE THIS, UH, PROVIDE THESE RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS THAT CAME OUT OF IT THAT ARE REALLY KEY AND CRUCIAL TO THE SCENARIOS THAT CHERYL TALKED ABOUT.

I'LL JUST PROVIDE A KIND OF A BRIEF, HIGH LEVEL SUMMARY OF ALL THE DIFFERENT, UM, PROJECT COMPONENTS.

AND, UH, WE'LL JUST GO FROM THERE.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK SOME QUESTIONS AS WE GO ALONG.

UM, REALLY, SO AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE WANT TO COME UP WITH PROJECTS THAT ARE GONNA HELP BENEFIT AND ENHANCE OUR WATER SYSTEM.

SO ALL THESE KIND OF SIX LITTLE BUBBLES THAT GO INTO BUILDING A PRIORITIZED WATER SYSTEMS. CIP WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE, YOU KNOW, BEING, BEING COGNIZANT AND GIVING CONSIDERATION TO MAKING SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE AGING INFRASTRUCTURE.

HOW DO WE ADDRESS IT? WE WANNA OPTIMIZE HOW WE'RE RUNNING OUR SYSTEM ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS.

WE WANNA PROVIDE A STEADY, CONSTANT LEVEL OF SERVICE, POTENTIALLY ENHANCE IT, UH, MAKE SURE WE DO HAVE THAT REDUNDANT, RELIABLE, UH, WATER SYSTEM, UH, ACCOMMODATE FOR FUTURE GROWTH THAT WE KNOW IS COMING INTO THE TOWN, AS WELL AS MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE IN, UM, STAYING WITHIN OUR REGULATORY COMPLIANCE ENVIRONMENTS.

SO ALL THE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS OF THE PROJECT ITSELF.

YOU COULD SEE, YOU COULD SEE ALL THESE, WE HAD SOME PARALLEL TASKS RUNNING WHERE AFTER WE REALLY IDENTIFY WHAT OUR FUTURE NEEDS ARE FROM A POPULATION AND WATER DEMAND SIDE, NOW WE START FIGURING OUT, LET'S MAKE SURE WE HAVE ENOUGH WATER SUPPLY.

LET'S, UH, LET'S DO AN ANALYSIS OF OUR SYSTEM TO SEE WHERE WE HAVE DEFICIENCIES BEFORE WE ADDRESS SOME OF OUR FUTURE ISSUES.

LET'S SHORE UP SOME OF OUR EXISTING ONES AS WELL.

UM, AT THE BOTTOM THERE, YOU SEE CONDITION ASSESSMENT, WE WENT OUT AND DID A CONDITION ASSESSMENT OF Y'ALL'S PUMP STATION TO IDENTIFY WHAT ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE NEED TO DO IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S KIND OF GET, LET'S GET IT BACK UP TO KIND OF A ONE OPERATIONAL STATUS.

SO WE RUN ALL THESE DIFFERENT ANALYSES, WE LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, WHAT DO WE NEED TO BE DOING FOR THE FUTURE? AND THAT'S THAT KIND OF RED BOX ON THE RIGHT.

WE HAVE OUR PRIORITIZED COMPREHENSIVE WATER SYSTEM, CIP.

THEN EVERYTHING KIND OF GETS SUMMARIZED UP.

SO FROM A, FROM A POPULATION STANDPOINT, UH, YOU CAN SEE HISTORICALLY THE, THE TOWN HAS GROWN AT A, UH, AN AVERAGE OF KIND OF FIVE TO SIX, ALMOST 7%, UH, DEPENDING ON WHICH POPULATION SOURCE YOU LOOK AT.

UH, WE KIND OF WORKED WITH JASON AND HIS TEAM A LITTLE BIT TO GET SOME INPUT ON, WE LIKE THE US CENSUS BUREAU NUMBERS, WE LIKE THE NCT COG NUMBERS, ALL THAT.

ALL THAT REALLY, UH, ENDS UP, UM, LOOKING AT FROM A, A SUMMARY FOR FUTURE POPULATION.

YOU CAN SEE IN 2025, THESE WOULD BE THE ACTUAL RESIDENTS OF TOWN OF WESTLAKE, ABOUT 2073 CURRENT YEAR.

WE GO OUT 10 YEARS, WE'RE AT 34 69.

UM, AND THEN, UH, 20 YEARS IS 4,949.

SO JUST UNDER 5,000 RESIDENTS THAT'S GONNA BE ON THAT KIND OF RED LINE THAT WE IDENTIFIED WAS OUR IDEAL SCENARIO FOR GROWTH PLANNING FOR TOWN OF WESTLAKE.

SO WE LOOKED AT IT FROM A POPULATION STANDPOINT.

WE ALSO LOOKED AT THINGS FROM A NON-RESIDENTIAL STANDPOINT.

WE'VE GOT, UH, GOT, UH, CORPORATE CAMPUSES.

YEAH, GOT A LOT OF DIFFERENT, UH, COMMERCIAL AND OTHER TYPES OF INDUSTRIES THAT ARE COMING INTO WESTLAKE.

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE, AGAIN, AT THE END OF THE DAY THAT OUR WATER SYSTEM IS GONNA BE PLANNED OUT SO WE CAN ACCOMMODATE ALL OF THOSE FUTURE NEEDS.

AND WHERE, AND I SHOULD KNOW THIS, WHERE, WHERE, WHERE'S OUR CORPORATE, OUR, OUR DAYTIME POPULATION IN THESE NUMBERS.

SO, DAYTIME POPULATION, AGAIN, THESE ARE JUST THE, THE, YOU KNOW, THE, THE RESIDENTS THAT 2000, RIGHT? OUR DAYTIME POPULATION IS CLOSE TO OVER 20,000.

SO THAT THE 18,000 ISH IS WHAT WE'RE ACCOUNTING FOR FROM A DAYTIME WORKER STANDPOINT.

UM, SO TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE ELEMENTS IN, IN THE TOWN'S FUTURE LAND USE PLAN, YOU COULD SEE WE, WE DO HAVE THINGS SEPARATED OUT FROM A LAND USE PERSPECTIVE.

A LOT OF OUR, YOU KNOW, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL FALLS INTO THOSE YELLOW BOXES.

WE HAVE SOME COMMERCIAL, SOME INDUSTRIAL, MUNICIPAL, UH, MIXED USE LAND USES.

AGAIN, WHAT WE'VE DONE AS PART OF THIS PROCESS IS FOR PRETTY MUCH EVERY PARCEL YOU CAN SEE ON THAT MAP, WE HAVE A, UH, WE HAVE DIFFERENT SET OF CRITERIA THAT'S, UM, SET OUT FOR IT.

SO IN THE FUTURE, IF THINGS CHANGE, IF WE HAVE ONE OF THOSE PARCELS CHANGES FROM A COMMERCIAL TO A RESIDENTIAL FOR WHATEVER STANDPOINT, WE CAN ACTUALLY RE KIND OF RERUN THE NUMBERS AND DETERMINE DOES THIS MAKE AN A CHANGE OR AN IMPACT, UH, WHAT WOULD WE NEED TO DO DIFFERENTLY, ESSENTIALLY.

SO WE'RE SET UP FOR, UH, LOOKING AT THINGS IN THE FUTURE IF NEEDED.

UM, SO LOOKING BACKWARDS AT HOW MUCH WATER TOWN OF WESTLAKE HISTORICAL USES, YOU CAN SEE OVER THE LAST, UM, BASICALLY SIX YEARS OF, FROM AN AVERAGE DAY STANDPOINT, WE HAVE AN AVERAGE ABOUT 1.5 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER USE PER DAY.

UH, IF WE MOVE, SHIPPED OVER TWO COLUMNS ON A MAXIMUM DAY, SO THIS WOULD BE THE SINGLE LARGEST DAY USAGE, THAT NUMBER TICKS UP FROM 1.5 OVER TO 3.5.

UM, AND THEN IF WE, UM, UH, IF YOU, SO YOU CAN KIND

[00:30:01]

OF SEE HOW THAT BREAKS DOWN FROM AN AVERAGE AND MAXIMUM DAY PERSPECTIVE.

UH, JUST A LOT OF OTHER NUMBERS AND INFORMATION.

I'M AN ENGINEER, SO I GOTTA PUT A LOT OF NUMBERS AND INFORMATION IN FRONT OF Y'ALL JUST TO KINDA SHOW, YOU KNOW, WE LOOK, YOU KNOW, YOU FACTOR IN, YOU KNOW, IS IT A WET YEAR? IS IT A DRY YEAR? HOW DOES IT IMPACT HOW MUCH WATER IS BEING USED ON A, ON AN ANNUAL OR MAXIMUM DAY TYPE BASIS? SO ALL, ALL OF THAT INFORMATION PLUS THE INFORMATION FROM THE LAND USE THE POPULATION.

WHAT ARE WE GONNA LOOK AT EXISTING 10, 20 YEARS OUT FROM A, UH, A WATER DEMAND STANDPOINT? UM, SO YOU COULD SEE, UH, WE HAVE AN AVERAGE DAY DEMAND, UM, IN, SO FOR OUR EXISTING 2025, WE PLAN FOR ABOUT 1.8, 1.9 MILLION GALLONS OF, UH, AVERAGE DAY DEMAND, 5.26 ON A MAXIMUM DAY.

AND THEN IF YOU SHIFT DOWN INTO THE 20 YEAR, YOU CAN SEE ON AN AVERAGE DAY WE'RE GOING FROM 1.8 MILLION GALLONS TO 5.8 MILLION GALLONS.

BUT THAT'S A, THAT'S A PRETTY BIG JUMP JUST ON AN AVERAGE DAY STANDPOINT.

YOU LOOK AT IT ON A MAXIMUM DAY STANDPOINT, WE'VE GONE FROM 5.2 UP TO JUST OVER 14.

SO AGAIN, SOME PRETTY HIGH NUMBERS COMING IN.

UH, THIS IS AGAIN, TRYING TO PLAN FOR AND ACCOMMODATE WHAT WE THINK MIGHT BE HAPPENING OVER THE NEXT, UH, 20 YEAR WINDOW.

AND SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THOSE NUMBERS, NOW WE'VE GOTTA FIGURE OUT, WELL, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO NEXT? HEY, UM, WADE AND JASON ON THESE, THESE, UM, RESIDENT PROJECTIONS.

WE HAVE SOME MATH, SOME SCIENCE AROUND THAT, HOW WE'RE DOING THAT BASED ON OKAY, BASED ON OPENINGS AND 1.3 PEOPLE OR WHATEVER THE YES SIR, UH, WE ACTUALLY WORKED WITH THE, WITH THE FIRM TO, UM, LOOK AT OUR EXISTING PROJECTS AND THE PROJECTS THAT WE KNOW ARE COMING IN THE FUTURE THAT ARE IN PROCESS.

AND THEN LOOKING AT OUR LAND USE MAP, WE KIND OF DID AN AVERAGE.

AND, AND A LOT OF THAT HAS TO DO WITH OUR, UM, YOU KNOW, OUR COMP PLAN.

THE WAY, YOU KNOW, SOME THINGS MAY BE RATED FOR R ONE, SO YOU'RE ONLY GONNA HAVE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT LOT.

IT COULD BE AN R 15 WHEN IT'S A 1500 OR 15,000 SQUARE FOOT LOT.

SO THAT, THAT ALL FED INTO THIS MODEL.

PLACEHOLDER FOR DISCUSSION PERHAPS.

AND THAT IS WHEN THE FIRST CHART SHOWED VARYING DEGREES OF GROWTH AND THE SECOND CHART SHOWED MAP THAT WE COULD CHANGE BASED ON WHAT WE'RE SEEING, WHAT'S COMING INTO THE TOWN.

WILL YOU DESCRIBE, UM, HOW WE GO ABOUT IN TERMS OF PLANNING WHAT WE COULD PULL BACK VERSUS WHAT WE COULD ADD ON, WHEREAS IF WE, IF WE DIDN'T SEE THE KIND OF GROWTH THAT WE'RE, IT WAS SLOWER, NOT SAYING IT IS, IF IT WAS SLOWER, WOULD IT MATERIALLY CHANGE THE AMOUNT OF CAPITAL WE'D BE SPENDING ON? IT DEFINITELY CAN.

AND WE'RE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, INCREASING WATER SUPPLY.

THERE'S A COST TO THAT.

WE HAVE TO MAKE, UH, EXPANSIONS TO OUR, SOME OF OUR FACILITIES, PUMP STATIONS, ELEVATED STORAGE, THINGS LIKE THAT.

IF YOU DIAL THOSE BACK, THAT'S A SAVINGS AND COST.

AND ALSO TIMING OF WHEN YOU PUT RIGHT.

ILL, AND WHEN YOU, WHEN YOU'LL SEE THE, WE LAY OUT WHAT THE PLAN LOOKS LIKE, I, I'VE GOT A SLIDE THAT'LL SHOW THAT.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT, WELL, I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WHEN I DO OTHER ANALYSES THAT UH, THIS IS GONNA BE ACCURATE AND, AND GOOD INFORMATION.

I, YOU DON'T HAVE TO JUMP AHEAD.

I, I WAS JUST, I, I'LL PLACEHOLDER IF WE, IF WE'RE NOT GROWING IN AN AREA WHERE WE'RE PROJECTING, MAYBE WE DON'T SHOW IMPROVEMENTS OVER THERE, ANOTHER SAVINGS.

SO AGAIN, UH, YOUR EXISTING, THE TOWN'S EXISTING WATER SYSTEM, YOU KIND OF SEE IT LAID OUT ON THE MAP HERE.

UM, WE'VE GOT, UH, ONE 14, YEAH, ONE 14 KIND OF ON THE NORTH, 1 73, 77, THOSE KINDA ALL THAT TOP, TOP NORTH AND, AND WEST FOR, FOR REFERENCE.

UM, AGAIN, CHERYL, WHEN SHE DID AN INTRODUCTION, SHE TALKED ABOUT, WE HAVE SOME ISSUES WITH OUR RELIABILITY REDUNDANCY.

WE HAVE ONE PUMP STATION AND WE HAVE ONE ELEVATED STORAGE.

THOSE ARE TWO CRITICAL FACILITIES FOR MAINTAINING AND RUNNING VERY A SOUND WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, THOUGH, YOU KNOW, IF EITHER ONE OF THOSE THINGS WERE TO SUFFER A, A, YOU KNOW, AN EMERGENCY OR A FAILURE OF SOME SORTS, WE'RE, WE'RE SCRAMBLING.

WE'RE SCRAMBLING TO FIGURE THINGS OUT.

SO AGAIN, OUR CHARGE NUMBER ONE WAS TO FIGURE OUT, WELL, LET'S HAVE SOME BACKUP SYSTEMS PUT IN PLACE TO HELP ADDRESS SOME OF THESE ITEMS. SO, SO AGAIN, JUST TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF LAY OF THE LAND OF WHAT THE SYSTEM LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW.

UM, SO WE DID SOME HYDRAULIC MODELING.

UH, WE DID AN ANALYSIS WHERE WE, WE BROUGHT ALL OF THE, ALL THE TOWNS, UH, INFRASTRUCTURE INTO COMPUTER MODEL TO SEE SOME OF THE STATS OF HOW, HOW MUCH WE BROUGHT IN A SCREENSHOT OF REALLY, SO YOU SEE ALL THE LINES THAT ARE ON THIS MAP, PRETTY MUCH ALL THE LINES IN THE MODEL.

SO WE, WE'VE GOT ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE CAPTURED AT THE MOMENT, UH, FROM ALL DIFFERENT DATA SOURCES, A LOT OF, UH, GOOD CONVERSATIONS WITH CHERYL AND HER TEAM ABOUT, UH, HOW THINGS ARE RUN, HOW THINGS ARE OPERATED, MAKE SURE THAT, UH, WHAT WE HAVE BASICALLY MODELED IN THE COMPUTER WORLD IS MATCHING WHAT'S IN REAL LIFE.

SO WHEN YOU CALIBRATE A HYDRAULIC MODEL,

[00:35:01]

WE HAD PRESSURE TESTING, WE HAD ALL THESE LITTLE HYDRANT PRESSURE RECORDERS, 10 OF THEM KIND OF SCATTERED OUT THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

UH, THEY COLLECTED DATA OVER ABOUT A TWO WEEK.

I WANT A MONTH STANDPOINT.

IT'S NOT THE 30 2ND OF OCTOBER, I BELIEVE IT WAS, UH, THE 31ST OF OCTOBER, EXCUSE ME.

UM, AND SO YOU TAKE ALL THAT INFORMATION, YOU GET OTHER INFORMATION FROM HOW THE PUMP STATION, HOW THE ELEVATED TANK'S RUNNING, AND THEN YOU PUT ALL THOSE INPUTS IN THERE, THEN YOU BASICALLY MAKE SURE THAT YOUR MODEL'S WELL CALIBRATED FOR, UH, DOING ALL THE DIFFERENT ANALYSES GOING FORWARD.

SO THOSE ANALYSES I, UH, TALKING ABOUT ARE LOOKING AT, AGAIN, THE REGULATORY STANDPOINT, HOW MUCH, UM, UH, STORAGE WE HAVE GROUND AND ELEVATED SPECIFICALLY, HOW MUCH PUMPING CAPACITY DO WE HAVE RIGHT NOW? ARE OUR WATER LINES ADEQUATELY SIZED IN ORDER TO, UH, ACCOMMODATE WHAT WE HAVE? WE DO THAT BY LOOKING AT MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM PRESSURES THROUGHOUT THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM.

WE LOOK AT WATERLINE VELOCITY, UH, WATERLINE HEAD LOSS GRADIENT.

THOSE ARE ALL DIFFERENT PARAMETERS THAT ARE, UH, IMPORTANT FOR MAKING SURE THAT YOUR FACILITIES AND AND LINES ARE ADEQUATELY SIZED.

LAST ONE IS RUNNING ACTUAL FIRE FLOW ANALYSIS TO DETERMINE, YOU KNOW, AT EACH HYDRANT IN THE CITY SYSTEM, WHAT IS THE, UM, ESTIMATED OR AVAILABLE HYDRANT FLOW IN ORDER TO COMBAT A FIRE EVENT? UH, I WILL SAY FROM A, FROM A, JUST A SUMMARY STANDPOINT, FROM AN EXISTING SYSTEM STANDPOINT, UH, WE'RE MEETING, WE'RE CHECKING ALL THE BOXES ON THE REGULATORY SIDE.

WE HAVE ENOUGH PUMPING CAPACITY TO MEET THE REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.

THAT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER OUR DAY-TO-DAY NEED.

UH, YOU KNOW, TCEQ IS A REGULATORY AGENCY.

THEY SAY YOU ONLY NEED X NUMBER OF STORAGE, AND THAT'S BLANKETED ACROSS THE STATE OF OF TEXAS.

UM, I WOULD SAY THE, YOU KNOW, IF WE LOOKED AT THOSE WATER DEMANDS AND USAGE CHARACTERISTICS, UH, Y'ALL LIKE TO USE A LITTLE BIT MORE WATER, WHICH IS NOT A PROBLEM.

WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT OPERATIONALLY HOW ARE WE DOING WELL? SO WE'RE MEETING ALL OF OUR REGULATORY STANDPOINTS.

WE HAD A FEW, UH, KIND OF BOTTLENECKS IN THE, IN THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM FROM A WATERLINE STANDPOINT.

BUT WHEN WE LOOK AT DOING FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS, THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT WE DO WANNA SHORE UP.

UM, LOOKING AT THINGS FROM A FUTURE STANDPOINT, AGAIN, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN ACCOMMODATE FOR OUR FUTURE GROWTH, BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, IN X NUMBER OF YEARS, HOW MUCH STORAGE DO WE NEED? HOW MUCH PUMPING CAPACITY DO WE NEED? UH, JUST A COUPLE OF CHARTS AND EXAMPLES THAT SHOW, YOU KNOW, HERE'S, HERE'S THE REASON, THE WHY, THE NEED OF WHY WE'RE GONNA NEED MORE ELEVATED STORAGE, WHY WE'RE GONNA NEED MORE PUMP STATION CAPACITY.

UH, ALL THIS INFORMATION IS KIND OF COVERED IN DETAIL IN THE, IN THE REPORT ITSELF.

SO WITH THAT, I'LL KIND OF MOVE RIGHT INTO THE ACTUAL CIP.

CAN I ASK HERE, CAN, CAN I INTERRUPT ONE SECOND? JUST ASK A QUESTION ON THAT.

AND THE CAPACITY, JUST GOING BACK TO A QUESTION THAT WAS ASKED EARLIER.

UM, THIS IS BASED ON POPULATION GROWTH.

UH, IT, IT, FOR ACTUAL LIVING IN THE TOWN, UH, WE HAVE, WE'RE OBVIOUSLY EXPECTING A LOT MORE GROWTH IN TERMS OF THE DAYTIME POPULATION JUST BASED ON THESE CALCULATIONS.

IT LOOKS LIKE ON A PER CAP, A PER PERSON BASIS, WE'RE USING ABOUT 1300 GALLONS OF WATER PER PERSON PER DAY.

UM, SO THAT OBVIOUSLY ISN'T THE CASE FOR OUR RESIDENTS.

A LOT OF THE WATER USAGE IS OBVIOUSLY HAPPENING WITH OUR DAY USE, UM, UH, POPULATION AS WELL.

HOW DOES THAT FACTOR IN? I MEAN, IF WE'RE EXPECTING, I MEAN, DELOITTE'S PUTTING UP MORE CAMPUSES, WE'RE EXPECTING A LOT MORE COMMERCIAL COMING IN, WHICH YOU CONTEMPLATE ON THAT MAP, BUT HOW ARE YOU, UH, FACTORING IN INCREASE IN USAGE BASED ON THE INCREASE IN POPULATION ON THE DAY USE? SURE.

NO, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

WE, SO YEAH, THAT LIKE 1300 NUMBER, THAT IS AN OVERALL NUMBER.

SO THAT INCLUDES YOUR, YOUR DAYTIME AND YOUR NIGHTTIME RESIDENCE.

SO THAT IS, THAT IS AN ALL INCLUSIVE NUMBER.

NO, THAT, THAT NUMBER I JUST CALCULATED BASED ON, YOU KNOW, 1800 RESIDENTS, 2000 RESIDENTS, AGAIN, ONE AND A HALF MILLION GALLONS A DAY.

RIGHT? SO THAT'S JUST BASED ON THAT, THAT THAT 1400, 1300, FIRST, 1400 NUMBER BACK.

NOW, WELL YOU'RE, THAT, THAT AVERAGE IS NOT JUST THE RESIDENTIAL AVERAGE.

THAT'S A TOWN AVERAGE.

SO THE OVERALL NUMBER, IF YOU JUST TAKE THE TOWN AVERAGE DIVIDED BY THE RESIDENTS, THAT'S HOW YOU GET THAT NUMBER.

BUT THAT DOES, THAT DOES INCLUDE ALL OF YOUR CORPORATE CAMPUSES.

YEAH, I GUESS I'M SAYING THAT THE EXPECTED USAGE IS TRACKING BASED ON THE EXPECTED POPULATION GROWTH OF FULL-TIME RESIDENTS.

HOW WE FACTORING IN THE EXPECTED POPULATION GROWTH OF DAYTIME RESIDENTS.

SO HERE, UM, SO THE, THERE IS AN INCREASE IN POPULATION, THAT KIND OF NON-RESIDENTIAL ACREAGE COLUMN, KIND OF RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE, YOU SEE THAT INCREASE.

IT'S, IT'S MORE THAN TRIPLING ESSENTIALLY.

SO THOSE NUMBERS ARE FACTORED INTO THE, THE TOTAL, SORRY ABOUT THAT, THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.

[00:40:01]

THAT FIVE TO 10 YEAR TIME PERIOD, WHAT YOU SAID.

SO HERE IS A, IS A VERY BUSY LITTLE GRAPH AND FIGURE.

UM, BUT AGAIN, WE HAVE BROKEN OUT ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT, UH, INFRASTRUCTURE COMPONENTS, WATER SUPPLY, PUMP STATION, THE ELEVATED STORAGE TANK, THEN ALL THE, ALL THE DIFFERENT, UH, KIND OF WATER TRANSMISSION MAINS THAT ARE SHOWN THROUGHOUT THE, THROUGHOUT THE TOWN.

GOT A, A BULLET OF THE, KIND OF THE, THE MAIN HIGHLIGHTS HERE.

SO THE, PROBABLY THE BIGGEST, THE BIGGEST CHANGE IS LOOKING AT, UM, YOU HAVE THE, YOU HAVE, WE HAVE THE EXISTING PUMP STATION ON 3 77.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT, UM, BUILDING A SECOND PUMP STATION ESSENTIALLY.

AND FOR PRELIMINARY SITE AND LOCATION THAT WE'RE SHOWING IT ON THE, ON THIS FIGURE IS KIND OF RIGHT OFF OF, RIGHT OFF OF DAVIS OVER HERE, JUST KIND OF SOUTH OF, UH, FIDELITY GOT THE FIRE STATION ESSENTIALLY.

SO CITY OF FORT WORTH HAS A WATER LINE THAT RUNS ALONG DAVIS HERE.

UM, AND TOWN OF WESTLAKE ACTUALLY OWNS CAPACITY IN THAT LINE RIGHT NOW.

ALL BOUGHT CAPACITY, I, I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW MANY YEARS AGO, BUT, UH, TOWN OF WESTLAKE HAS CAPACITY IN THAT LINE TO BASICALLY TEE OFF OF IT, BUILD YOUR PUMP STATION AND START SENDING OUT FLOW AGAIN.

WE HAVE, WE HAVE, UH, WE HAVE THE CONSIDERATION OF BASICALLY GETTING MORE SUPPLY, WHICH CHECKS THE BOX, WHICH HAS A REDUNDANT OR RELIABLE WAY OF MOVING WATER, SHOULD OUR OTHER PUMP STATION BE OUTTA SERVICE CHECKS A BOX.

UM, AND IT HELPS ADDRESS OUR GROWTH.

THAT, THAT ONE PROJECT RIGHT THERE CHECKS THREE BOXES.

SO KIND OF A, A MORE, A MORE IMPORTANT PROJECT THAN OTHERS, I WOULD SAY.

UM, SO WE HAVE A, WE HAVE THE, THE NEW PUMP STATION.

WE DO HAVE A CONSIDERATION FOR ADDITIONAL ELEVATED STORAGE TANKS.

UM, WE'VE GOT MULTIPLE OPTIONS ON THIS MAP.

I HAVEN'T IDENTIFIED EXACTLY WHICH ONE WE'RE GONNA GO WITH AT THIS TIME.

BUT, UH, THE, THE PLAN IS KIND OF LAID OUT TO SHOW, UH, WE HAVE, UH, WE HAVE OPTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN, UH, IDENTIFIED AND CONSIDERED.

UH, WE'VE RUN THE ANALYSIS, WE'VE RUN THE MODELING THAT, THAT SAYS THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, IF, IF YOU'RE OVER HERE, IT'S GONNA WORK WELL IF YOU MOVE IT OVER HERE, THIS IS A VIABLE OPTION.

UM, FROM, UH, ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS FROM A SYSTEM RESILIENCY, REDUNDANCY STANDPOINT, UM, ESTABLISHING EMERGENCY INTERCONNECTIONS WITH A COUPLE OF OUR NEIGHBORS, UH, KELLER AND SOUTHLAKE SPECIFICALLY.

UM, ALSO, UH, THERE ARE LINES WITHIN THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE THAT ARE BASICALLY SERVED FROM TROPHY CLUB, MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT.

UH, THERE IS A LONG TERM DESIRE PLAN TO ACTUALLY DISCONNECTED FROM THE TROPHY CLUB SYSTEM AND BRING IT IN INTO THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE SYSTEM.

THERE'S AN INTEGRATION PLAN IN PLACE THERE.

UH, AND THEN REALLY THE OTHER KIND OF COMPONENT HERE IS TALKING ABOUT EXTENDING THOSE NEW, UH, TRANSMISSION MAINS TO HELP WHERE WE'RE GROWING AND WE DON'T HAVE INFRASTRUCTURE THERE.

WE'RE GONNA NEED TO EXTEND SOME LINES IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THAT SERVICE.

OH, I KNOW THAT'S A, THAT'S A PRETTY, UH, HIGH AND QUICK LEVEL SUMMARY OF ALL THE ITEMS. UM, BUT WE DO HAVE THESE KIND OF LISTED OUT IN MORE DETAIL IN THE, IN THE MASTER PLAN REPORT.

UH, HERE'S KIND OF A SAMPLE.

SO FOR EVERY PROJECT YOU SAW, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THAT MAP? YES, SIR.

I'M ASSUMING THE COLOR CODING IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, RIGHT? SO IF WE'RE LOOKING AT, FOR EXAMPLE, NUMBER 22 OR 21 OR 17, THEY'RE BLUE.

THOSE ARE INCREASED WATER SUPPLY PLACES OR PORTS OR SOMETHING.

THEY ARE, THEY ARE, THE, THE, THE COLOR CODING, UH, I, I SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED IT, UH, RED, WE'RE KIND OF CALLING OUR SHORT TERM PROJECTS.

I KNOW THAT FIVE YEAR OUTLOOK, UH, BLUE IS GONNA BE MORE OF AN INTERMEDIATE FIVE TO 10.

THEN GREEN WILL BE OUTSIDE LONG TERM, 10 YEAR WINDOW, WHERE THAT HELPS WHERE WE SEE, WHERE WE SEE, UM, SOME OF THOSE NEEDS.

AND, AND THEY CAN ALWAYS SHIFT, YOU KNOW, IF DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS CHANGE OR, SO MARY'S GONNA DEVELOP SOONER THAN WHAT WAS THOUGHT OF IN 2025.

THESE THINGS CAN KIND OF BE RESHUFFLED.

UM, SO AGAIN, EVERY, EVERY SINGLE PROJECT FROM THAT LAST MAP, UH, WE HAVE KIND OF DETAILED, UH, BUSINESS CASE SHEETS HERE THAT DESCRIBE WHAT THE PROJECT IS, WHY WE'RE DOING IT.

WE HAVE A, UM, CALL IT A PLANNING LEVEL COST ASSESSMENT, UH, THAT KIND OF SHOWS YOU JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT EACH ONE OF THESE DIFFERENT PROJECTS.

HERE AGAIN, WE'RE TRYING TO GIVE CHERYL AND HER TEAM A LOT OF GOOD INFORMATION FOR HELPING TO BUILD OUT OR START BUDGETING FOR CERTAIN, UM, CERTAIN IMPROVEMENTS.

THE TABLE ON THE RIGHT JUST KIND OF SHOWS THE COST THAT THAT $68 MILLION PRICE TAG IS NOT, WE'RE NOT GONNA EAT THE APPLE ALL AT ONCE.

WE'RE GONNA, THAT'S THE, THAT'S TAKE IT ONE BITE AT A TIME.

THAT'S THE GOLF COST.

WHAT DOES INTERMEDIATE MEAN IN TERMS OF TIME? WE, WE KIND OF HAVE IT BALLPARK IN

[00:45:01]

I'M SORRY.

UH, A LOT OF THESE, A LOT OF THE PROJECTS YOU SEE HERE IN RED, THOSE KINDA SHORT TERM ONES ARE REALLY ALL ABOUT SHORING UP THE, OUR, OUR DEFICIENCIES.

WE NEED MORE, WE NEED TO HAVE THAT SECONDARY SUPPLY, UH, KIND OF CHECK SOME OF THOSE MORE IMMEDIATE NEEDS.

UM, GO FROM THERE.

UH, THE, THE, THE GREENS AND THE BLUES ARE A LITTLE BIT, AGAIN, IF SOMETHING, IF SOMEONE'S GONNA COME IN TOMORROW AND BUILD SOMETHING, WE MIGHT HAVE TO MOVE A PROJECT UP IN PRIORITY.

BUT KINDA AS WE STAND RIGHT NOW, WE FELT LIKE THESE WERE THE, THE TOP CANDIDATES FOR PRIORITIZING.

UM, SO AGAIN, WHERE WE, SO HERE I AM KIND OF ROLLING OUT ALL THESE, UM, RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS TO YOU GUYS.

WE HAVE A DRAFT REPORT THAT CHERYL AND HER STAFF HAVE FOR REVIEW.

UM, ONCE WE GET ANY COMMENTS, WE'LL FINALIZE AND SIGN AND SEAL THE REPORT.

UH, WE DO HAVE ON OUR PLAN TO DO A MEETING WITH CITY OF FORT WORTH AS A WHOLESALE PROVIDER FOR TOWN OF WESTLAKE.

WE KIND OF JUST WANT TO HAVE A LITTLE UPDATE SESSION WITH THEM AND TELL 'EM HERE'S WHAT OUR PLANS ARE, HERE'S WHAT WE LIKE TO DO.

UM, AGAIN, TRYING TO BE GOOD, GOOD NEIGHBORS AND, AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE AWARE OF, OF GA'S PLANS FOR WHEN YOU WANNA START TAKING AND INCREASING WATER FROM FORT WORTH.

UH, THAT'S KIND OF THE, THE HIGH LEVEL SUMMARY, UH, ENTERTAINING.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? UH, DO HAVE, UH, KRISTEN FUNG AND EMILY PITTS FROM FREEZING NICHOLS HERE.

THEY, THEY WERE THE, THE TEAM THAT, UH, DID A LOT OF THE HARD AND HEAVY WORK, SO I THINK THEY PUT IT PUT TOGETHER A REALLY GOOD PLAN FOR Y'ALL.

UM, BUT LIKE I SAID, IF Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE LEMME KNOW ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? SO I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE EMERGENCY INTERCONNECTIONS.

MM-HMM .

CAN YOU EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THOSE? SO REALLY AN EMERGENCY INTERCONNECTION BASICALLY IS, YOU KNOW, YOU LITERALLY HAVE LIKE A, A, A METER THAT CONNECTS, WE'LL SAY WE COULD JUST, FOR INSTANCE, WE COULD SAY CONNECTS WESTLAKE TO SOUTHLAKE AND IF Y'ALL HAVE AN EMERGENCY AND YOU NEED WATER, THEY CAN OPEN THE VALVE AND RUN WATER INTO YOUR SYSTEM OR VICE VERSA.

UH, THERE'S, THERE'S QUITE A FEW CITIES, UM, HERE ON THE METROPLEX THAT DO HAVE INTERCONNECTIONS WITH THEIR NEIGHBORS.

IT'S JUST ANOTHER FORM OF HAVING A BACKUP FOR, SO BASICALLY AT THIS POINT, WE ONLY HAVE OUR MAIN WATER COMING IN FROM FORT WORTH TO OUR PUMP STATION EVEN.

WHAT ABOUT THE ONE THAT WE CONNECT? YOU SAID THE, UM, THE CLUB IS THAT SUPPLY WATER TO THAT AREA, IT CANNOT SUPPLY TO THE REST TOWN, JUST THAT ONE SPECIFIC AREA? THAT'S CORRECT.

AND, AND THOSE, ALL THOSE LINES ARE KIND OF CONTAINED KIND OF REALLY WITHIN THIS AREA.

UM, SO THEY'RE NOT HYDRAULICALLY CONNECTED.

SO IF THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY, I AM NOT AWARE OF THE ABILITY TO JUST GET A LITTLE TROPHY CLUB WATER IF WE NEED IT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? AS ALWAYS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.

AGENDA ITEM F, CONSENT AGENDA.

OKAY, WE'RE GONNA MOVE ON TO

[F. CONSENT AGENDA]

UM, IS THERE ANY ITEM THAT THE COUNCIL WISHES REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA? CAN I GET A MOTION TO PASS THE CONSENT AGENDA? SO MOVED.

I GET A SECOND.

SECOND, SECOND.

G, NOW TIME FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS AND ASSOCIATED ACTION ITEMS G ONE CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING THE WESTLAKE ACADEMY, UH, FFY 2025 2026 SCHOOL BUDGET.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

UM, AGENDA ITEM

[G.1. Conduct Public Hearing to receive public input regarding the Westlake Academy FY 2025-2026 School Budget (Cayce Lay Lamas, Finance Director)]

CASEY, HOW ARE YOU? I'M DOING WELL.

HOW IS EVERYBODY? WONDERFUL.

ALRIGHT, SO, UM, FOR THIS EVENING WE WILL GO THROUGH A BRIEF PRESENTATION ON THE PROPOSED BUDGET BEFORE OPENING UP THE PUBLIC HEARING.

JUST A REMINDER THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING IS THE FORMAL OPPORTUNITY FOR ANY STAKEHOLDERS TO PROVIDE FORMAL INPUT ON THE PROPOSED BUDGET AHEAD OF ADOPTION.

WE ADVERTISED FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING IN THE FORT WORTH STAR TELEGRAM ON JUNE 6TH, THE SAME DAY THAT THE PROPOSED BUDGET WAS MADE AVAILABLE ON THE ACADEMY'S WEBSITE.

AND SO FOR FISCAL YEAR 26, THE PROPOSED BUDGET IS $12,310,696 FOR REVENUES AND 11,655,336 IN EXPENDITURES.

AND THAT DOES INCLUDE A CONTRIBUTION OF FUND BALANCE IN THE AMOUNT OF $655,360.

THE PROPOSED REVENUES ARE BUDGETED TO INCREASE ABOUT 508,000 OR ROUGHLY 4.3% OVER THE FISCAL YEAR 25 BUDGET.

AND THE PROPOSED EXPENDITURES ARE EXPEND ARE BUDGETED TO DECREASE BY ABOUT 147,000 OR 1.2% FROM PRIOR YEAR.

IF Y'ALL WILL RECALL, WE HAD OUR BUDGET WORK SESSION AT THE MAY 20TH MEETING.

WHENEVER WE DISCUSSED A DRAFT BUDGET.

CHANGES THAT WERE INCLUDED

[00:50:01]

FROM THE DRAFT INFORMATION THAT WE GOT INTO THE PROPOSED BUDGET THAT WAS PUBLISHED INCLUDE THE CHANGE IN PHILOSOPHY THAT COUNCIL ADVISED US ON REGARDING THE SHARED SERVICES, SPECIFICALLY MAKING SURE THAT WE WENT BACK THROUGH ALL OF THOSE SHARED SERVICES EXPENDITURES AND ONLY BUDGETED ITEMS THAT THE ACADEMY WOULD BUDGET FOR OR PLAN FOR IF THEY WERE TRULY SEPARATE.

THAT WORK INCLUDES A 174,000 DECREASE FROM THE DRAFT BUDGET.

MOST OF THAT IS ATTRIBUTED TO PULLING OUT THE RENT COSTS.

ADDITIONALLY, DR.

RICHIE AND CAMPUS STAFF CONTINUED THE REVIEW OF THEIR STAFFING NEEDS FOR THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR AND REDUCED THE FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT BY A TOTAL OF AN ADDITIONAL FOUR FTES FOR SAVINGS OF $339,000.

ALSO, AT THE MAY 20TH MEETING, THE BOARD APPROVED A NEW LEASE WITH APPLE, WHICH WE HAD ORIGINALLY PROJECTED AT $350,000.

SO WE WERE ABLE TO REALIZE ROUGHLY 60,000 BASED ON THE TRUE COSTS OF THAT UH, AGREEMENT.

AND THEN LASTLY, SINCE THE LAST MEETING, STAFF DID ANOTHER SCRUB OF LINE ITEMS AND IDENTIFIED ROUGHLY $34,000 IN ADDITIONAL REDUCTIONS THAT WERE POSSIBLE.

DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE I MOVE ON TO SOME MORE REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES? AWESOME, THANKS CASEY.

AND THEN, AS I STATED, THE FISCAL YEAR 26 REVENUES ARE PROJECTED AT 12.3 MILLION WITH ABOUT 8.7 MILLION OR ROUGHLY 70% OF THAT COMING DIRECTLY FROM THE STATE.

THE REMAINING 3.6 MILLION OR 30% COME FROM LOCAL SOURCES, MOST NOTABLY THE TOWN AND THE WESTLAKE ACADEMY FOUNDATION.

BLACKSMITH.

THE PROPOSED BUDGET DOES NOT INCLUDE THE RECENTLY PASSED LEGISLATION.

THAT'S HOUSE BILL TWO.

UM, TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY IS CURRENTLY WORKING THROUGH THE CHANGES.

THEY'RE GOING TO PROVIDE US ALL THE DETAILS OF HOW WE IMPLEMENT THAT BUDGET, THAT AND WHAT THOSE DOLLARS ACTUALLY ARE.

SO YOU CAN EXPECT A BUDGET AMENDMENT IN THE FUTURE.

SO YOU HAVE TO PASS THE BILL BEFORE YOU FIGURE OUT WHAT'S IN IT.

IS THAT THE THAT'S EXACTLY, YEAH.

ALL RIGHT.

AND THEN LOOKING AT THE EXPENDITURES BY OBJECT, THIS IS PROBABLY THE MOST EASIEST TO CONSUME.

IT'S BROKEN DOWN BETWEEN SALARIES, SERVICES, SUPPLIES, AND MATERIALS, OTHER OPERATING COSTS AND DEBT SERVICES.

FISCAL YEAR 26 EXPENDITURES ARE PROJECTED AT 11.7 MILLION, WHICH INCLUDES A NET REDUCTION OF 7.34 FTES FOR A TOTAL PROJECTED STAFF COUNT OF 107 FOR THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.

THE TOTAL PERSONNEL BUDGET MAKES UP ABOUT 77% OF THE TOTAL OPERATING COSTS.

WE ARE ALSO RIGHT NOW ONLY INCLUDING CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED STEP INCREASES IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET.

AGAIN, WAITING ON GUIDANCE FROM TEA AS TO HOW WE CAN IMPLEMENT THE CHANGES TO TEACHER PAY AND ANY OTHER CHANGES TO OUR ALLOTMENT AND HOW WE CAN USE THAT.

THE OTHER WAY THAT WE CONSIDER EXPENDITURES ON THE SCHOOL SIDE HAS TO DO WITH A CATEGORIZATION CALLED FUNCTION.

THESE ARE DEFINED BY TEA AND THIS IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THE DIFFERENCES HERE ARE AT THE LOCAL OR THE LEGAL LEVEL OF CONTROL.

THAT MEANS BASICALLY IF WE WANT TO CHANGE ANY OF THOSE FUNCTIONAL DOLLARS, EITHER UP OR DOWN, WE WOULD BE REQUIRED TO COME BACK TO THE BOARD WITH A BUDGET AMENDMENT.

AND, AND DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON REVENUES OR EXPENDITURES? NO.

AWESOME.

WELL THEN NEXT STEPS, UM, WE WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ALLOW FOR PUBLIC FEEDBACK THIS EVENING.

WE WILL ALSO HAVE A VOTE ON THE COMPENSATION PLAN AND ON THE ACTUAL BUDGET.

AND THEN DURING THE MEETING IN JULY, WE WILL BRING BACK THE FINAL BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 25 BUDGET.

UM, WE DO HAVE ON HERE TENTATIVELY SLATED ANOTHER VOTE TO AMEND THE COMPENSATION PLAN AND TO AMEND THE BUDGET.

BUT AGAIN, THAT WILL BE COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON THE TIMING OF TEA'S INFORMATION COMING OVER TO US.

I WILL, UH, NOW OPEN IT UP TO PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THERE ANYONE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK? WE'LL NOW CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

THANK YOU, CASEY.

THE RIGHT THING AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR WHAT THEY'VE DONE, BUT WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS YET.

UM, THANK YOU.

LISTEN, I, I MADE THAT COMMENT, BUT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DECIPHER WHAT GOT PASSED IN HOUSE BILL TWO AND I, EVERY DAY, UH, MY SUMMER'S GOING, I'M LOOKING AND, AND TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT, BUT I, I DO FEEL THE BASIC ALLOTMENT GOT CHANGED.

CLEARLY.

OUR LEGISLATORS, UH, WANNA TELL US HOW TO SPEND THE MONEY, RIGHT? THEY'RE DIRECTING IT TO VERY SPECIFIC THINGS, BASIC ALLOCATION, AND UP $55, WHICH IS REALLY IMMATERIAL.

UH, THERE WAS ONE BILL THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ALMOST $400, WHICH WOULD'VE BEEN A LITTLE MORE MATERIAL, BUT THERE'S SOME OPERATING COSTS, THERE'S SOME SAFETY ISSUES.

WE'RE REALLY HOPING THE FACILITY BILL THAT IT'S GONNA HELP OUR SCHOOL.

AND I LIKE, I, I THINK OUR LEGISLATORS ARE TRYING TO DO

[00:55:01]

UH, I HAD A NUMBER IN MIND WHEN WE STARTED OUR VISITS TO AUSTIN.

I DUNNO IF THAT'S GONNA COME TRUE OR NOT, BUT WE'LL SEE.

I KNOW THEY'RE WORKING ON IT AS WE SPEAK.

ITEM G TWO, HOLD PUBLIC HEARING.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR ANYBODY ELSE? AND WE'LL VOTE ON THIS LATER IN THE AGENDA.

[G.2. Hold public hearing, discuss, consider and act to recommend to the Town Council to adopt Ordinance 1024 amending Chapter 102, entitled “Zoning”, and establishing Article IX, entitled “TC, Town Center Form-Based Development District”, providing new regulations and rules for development within the Town of Westlake, Texas; providing a penalty; providing a cumulative clause; providing a severability clause; providing a savings clause; authorizing publication; and establishing an effective date (Jason Alexander, AICP, CEcD, Deputy Town Manager).]

DISCUSS, CONSIDER AN ACT TO RECOMMEND THE TOWN COUNCIL TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 1 0 2 4 AMENDING CHAPTER 1 0 2 ENTITLED ZONING AND ESTABLISHING ARTICLE NINE ENTITLED TC TOWN CENTER FORM-BASED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, PROVIDING NEW REGULATIONS AND RULES FOR DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE, TEXAS, PROVIDING A PENALTY, PROVIDING A CUMULATIVE CLAUSE, PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE, AUTHORIZING PUBLICATION, AND ESTABLISHING EFFECTIVE DATE.

ALEXANDER, THAT WAS A LOT.

ONE BEING CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS.

HONORABLE MAYOR.

ALL IS WEALTH TOWN COUNCIL.

GOOD EVENING.

THIS, AGAIN IS A REQUEST FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT TO CREATE A NEW ZONING DISTRICT ENTITLED TC TOWN CENTER FORUM BASED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT TO PROVIDE SOME INITIAL CONSIDERATIONS.

SUPPORTED TO NOTE THAT THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE, IT DOES HAVE A VERY COMPETITIVE AND A VERY STRATEGIC POSITION WITHIN NORTH TEXAS, AND PARTICULARLY ITS LOCATION ALONG ONE 14.

IT IS A GATEWAY TO THE AIRPORT AND IT'S ALSO A GATEWAY TO A LOT OF THE CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS AND CAMPUSES THAT ARE IN PLANO AND IN FRISCO.

BUT THAT DOES NOT TAKE AWAY FROM THE CORPORATE CAMPUSES OF PARTNERS THAT WE HAVE IN CHARLES SCHWAB, FIDELITY AND DELOITTE.

AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE CONSIDER ZONING IN A WAY THAT HONORS AND RESPECTS THAT STRATEGIC LOCATION.

THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE MUST ALSO BE INTENTIONAL ABOUT DEVELOPMENT AND PLACEMAKING.

THAT'S WITHIN THE BRANDING OF THE TOWN BEING DISTINCT BY DESIGN.

AND THEN FINALLY, THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

IT IDENTIFIES THE CREATION OF A MIXED USE ZONING DISTRICT AS A KEY PRIORITY TO ACCELERATE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

AND THERE AGAIN IS CHARLES SCHWAB KIND SHOWING THAT GATEWAY ON THE WESTERN SIDE INTO THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE.

THINKING ABOUT TOWN CENTER CHARACTERISTICS, TRADITIONALLY IT'S A FOCUS ON THE EDGE AND THE CENTER THAT THE CLOSER YOU GET TO THE CENTER, THE MORE INTENSE DEVELOPMENT.

THE FURTHER YOU GO AWAY FROM THE CENTER, THE LESS INTENSE THE DEVELOPMENT.

AND IT'S A BALANCE ON CHARACTER AND EQUALITY OF THE PUBLIC REALM.

AND IT IS ALSO CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL, AND CIVIC USES WHERE THEY CAN COEXIST AND ADJACENCY AND SERVE LOCAL AND REGIONAL NEEDS.

SOME OF THE LESSONS THAT WERE LEARNED BEFORE PUTTING TOGETHER THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PROPOSED ZONING DISTRICT IS THAT LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, THEY HAVE TO BE PREDICTABLE AND THEY HAVE TO BE FLEXIBLE.

CIVIC SPACE MUST BE PROVIDED THAT IS MEANINGFUL TO SUSTAIN NEIGHBORHOOD ACTIVITIES AND LIFE.

AND PARKING MUST BE INTEGRATED IN A WAY THAT SUPPORTS WALKABILITY AND SAFE THOROUGHFARE.

SO AGAIN, THAT EDGE TO CENTER, NORMALLY A FIVE TO 10 MINUTE WALK.

SO INSPIRATION FOR THE ZONING DISTRICT.

IT PRIMARILY CAME FROM FOUR AREAS.

THERE ARE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, KENDALL CENTER, FAYETTEVILLE, GEORGIA TRI, WHICH IS HOME TO TRTH MOVIE STUDIOS, FORT WORTH, TEXAS, THE SHOPS AT CLEAR FORK AND PLANO, TEXAS, BOTH LEGACY AND LEGACY WEST.

HOW THIS CODE IS STRUCTURED, IT IS A FORM-BASED DEVELOPMENT CODE.

IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER PLANT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS AND THE OTHER ZONING REGULATIONS THAT HAVE COME BEFORE THE TOWN COUNCIL.

IN PARTICULAR, THIS CODE, IT FOCUSES NOT JUST ON USE SETBACK AND ON HEIGHTS TO CREATE AN URBAN SPACE THAT IS WALKABLE, THAT IS ATTRACTIVE.

IT ALSO FOCUSES ON THE FORM OF THE BUILDING.

IN TERMS OF THE APPLICATION OF THIS PROPOSED ZONING DISTRICT, IT CAN BE APPLIED THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE TOWN.

IT IS NOT AN OVERLAY DISTRICT.

A PROPERTY OWNER OR A DEVELOPER MUST MAKE A REQUEST FORMALLY AND GO THROUGH THE PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS TO APPLY THIS PROPOSED ZONING DISTRICT ON THEIR PROPERTY.

AND IN PARTICULAR, THERE ARE THREE DISTINCT TOWN CENTER ZONES, AND THOSE, I WILL GO INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL, BUT IS TO CREATE THAT WALKABLE MIXED USE ENVIRONMENT THAT THE STRATEGIC PLAN STRESSES.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS ZONING DISTRICT, AGAIN, IS PREDICTABLE BUILDING REGULATIONS AND BUILDING RULE, UH, BUILDING RULES.

BUT THE IDEA IS THAT WE CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT THAT IS ATTRACTIVE, THAT IS WALKABLE AND HAS A

[01:00:01]

MIX NOT OF USES, BUT RATHER EXPERIENCES, RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL, AND CIVIC.

IN TERMS OF THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS, A REGULATING PLAN IS REQUIRED AND THAT IS ALMOST AKIN TO A MASTER PLAN THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED FOR ANY PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT UNDER THIS ZONING DISTRICT ON THREE OR MORE ACRES.

AND SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, IT ALLOWS THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND TOWN COUNCIL TO SEE THE, THEIR AFFAIRS, THE INFRASTRUCTURE, THE CIVIC SPACE, HOW THAT'S ALL BEING PROPOSED AND LAID OUT.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION WILL PROVIDE A RECOMMENDATION.

TOWN COUNCIL WOULD REVIEW AND PROVIDE APPROVAL.

A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IS ALSO REQUIRED FOR ALL PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT UNDER THIS ZONING DESIGNATION THAT WOULD REQUIRE REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY TOWN COUNCIL.

AND THEN FINALLY, THE C SITE PLAN THAT IS ADMINISTRATIVE.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE WITH THE CHEVRON CHARTS HERE, THAT IT GOES FROM A VERY HIGH LEVEL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO A VERY MINUTE LEVEL AT THE HIGH LEVEL, THAT'S BEFORE OUR RECOMMENDING AND DECISION MAKING BODIES.

AND THEN AT THE VERY MINUTE LEVEL, THAT IS WITH STAFF IN TERMS OF THOSE REGULATING PLANS, AGAIN, THREE OR MORE ACRES OF LAND.

THIS TO GUIDE INFRASTRUCTURE STRATEGIES, CIVIC SPACE, LAND USE ALLOCATIONS, AND THERE COULD BE ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE AND ARCHITECTURE IF DESIRED BY THE PROPERTY OWNER OR DEVELOPER.

AND THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS ARE JUST AS THEY HAVE ALWAYS COME BEFORE THIS BODY FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL.

AND THEY DEAL WITH INFRASTRUCTURE AND OTHER SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS TO GET THE HIGHEST QUALITY DEVELOPMENT POSSIBLE.

AND THEN FINALLY, WITH SITE PLANS, AGAIN, IT IS REQUIRED FOR ALL DEVELOPMENT.

IT IS STAFF REVIEWED AND APPROVED.

AND IN ADDITION TO THE REQUIREMENTS ARE IN SECTION 1 0 2 3 14 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES.

IT ALSO REQUIRES SOME COMPLIANCE WITH BUILDING FRONTAGES AND OTHER CODE ELEMENTS MOVING INTO THE TOWN CENTER ZONES.

THERE ARE THREE TOWN CENTER EDGE ZONES ARE PRIMARILY LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL WITH DETACHED HOUSES.

AGAIN, EDGE WORKING YOUR WAY INTO THE CORE.

IT IS MIXED USE WHERE IT CAN HAVE COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL.

AND THEN TOWN CENTER CIVIC WOULD ALLOW FOR CIVIC BUILDINGS AND CIVIC SPACES.

THESE ARE EXAMPLES OF POTENTIALLY WHAT THESE VARIOUS AREAS COULD LOOK LIKE.

UNDER THIS PROPOSED FORM-BASED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, YOU SEE IMAGES OF ENTRADA HERE, IMAGES OF THE SHOPS AT CLEAR FORK HERE, ANOTHER, AND GETTING INTO THE BUILDING HEIGHT WAIVER OVERLAY DISTRICT.

AND THAT ESSENTIALLY THERE IS UNLIMITED BUILDING HEIGHT.

SO THAT HIGHER INTENSITY DEVELOPMENT OCCURS WITHIN PROXIMITY TO STATE HIGHWAY ONE 14 AND STATE HIGHWAY ONE 70.

AND WITHIN THE BUILDING HEIGHT WAIVER OVERLAY DISTRICT, WHICH I WOULD TALK ABOUT HERE IN THE PRESENTATION, THAT IS WHERE A MULTIFAMILY POTENTIALLY COULD BE ALLOWED.

SO THE IDEA ISN'T TO CREATE DEVELOPMENT THAT IS AS INTENSE AS SEAPORT IN BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.

IT IS TO ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT THAT IS MORE COMPATIBLE WITH EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS WITHIN THE BUILDING HEIGHT WAIVER OVERLAY DISTRICT.

SO CHARLES SCHWAB BUILDING, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN SEVEN AND EIGHT STORES IS WHAT IS DESIRED AND MOST ENCOURAGED IN TERMS OF THAT BUILDING HEIGHT WAIVER OVERLAY DISTRICT WITHIN 660 FEET OF HIGHWAY ONE 14 AND ONE 70.

AND IT ONLY APPLIES TO PROPERTY THAT'S WITHIN A TOWN CENTER CORE ZONING DISTRICT.

THE MINIMUM HEIGHT OF ALL PRINCIPAL BUILDINGS MUST BE FOUR STORIES, EXCEPT THAT RESTAURANTS AND RETAIL SALES ESTABLISHMENTS, THOSE MAY BE LESS.

AND THE IDEA THERE'S SOME MAXIMIZE ECONOMIC VALUE AS WELL AS AESTHETIC VALUE ALONG THOSE TWO HIGHWAYS.

IN TERMS OF THOROUGHFARES AND SIDEWALKS, THEY FOLLOW THE SPECIFICATIONS THAT ARE ALREADY IN THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, PRIMARILY WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT SIDEWALKS MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 12 FEET AND WIDTH FOR NON-RESIDENTIAL ACTIVITY THAT'S ALLOWED FOR CAFES AND FOR COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS TO SPILL OUT ONTO THE SIDEWALK.

AND THEN A MINIMUM OF SIX FEET WHERE THERE'S RESIDENTIAL ACTIVITY.

AND THAT IS BASED ON THE BEST PRACTICES AND LESSONS LEARNED WHEN IT COMES TO MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT.

AND KIND OF GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE.

IS THIS STREET SEEN IN CAMBRIDGE IN TERMS OF CIVIC SPACES, IT'S NEW.

OUR REGULATING PLANS MUST ASSIGN A

[01:05:01]

MINIMUM OF 5% OF ITS LAND TO CIVIC SPACE.

AND THAT'S DEDICATING IT IN THE FORM OF A GREEN, A PARK, A POCKET PARK, OR A SQUARE.

IT'S ALSO REQUIRING THAT IT CONNECT WITH EXISTING AND FUTURE TRAILS.

AND THAT WAY IT CREATES MORE OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD TYPE FEEL AND LOOK AND ALLOWS FOR MEMBERS THROUGHOUT THE TOWN TO BE ABLE TO COME TO CENTRAL GATHERING POINTS IN CENTRAL SPACES, ALL CIVIC SPACE AS PROPOSED UNDER THIS FORUM BASED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.

THEY MUST BE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC, BUT THEY WOULD BE PRIVATELY MAINTAINED.

WHAT IS A POCKET PARK? JASON? I'M SORRY SIR, DIDN'T HEAR.

WHAT IS A POCKET PARK? A POCKET PARK WOULD BE SOMETHING SMALLER, MUCH LIKE THIS.

SO ESSENTIALLY JUST A SMALL ENCLOSED SPACE THAT COULD BE FRAMED BY BUILDINGS OR BY A STREET IN TERMS OF LOT SIZE AND DENSITY CALCULATIONS, NO MINIMUM LOT SIZE FOR ANY ALLOWABLE USE.

HOWEVER, WITH RESPECT TO DETACHED SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, THAT IS ATTACHED AS WELL, THAT THERE'S ONLY ONE UNIT THAT WILL BE PERMITTED ON EACH LOT.

AND THEN IN TERMS OF MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, AND I WOULD LIKE TO SPEND A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME HERE, IT IS RESTRICTED TO A TOTAL ALLOCATION ALLOWANCE OF 400 FOR THE ENTIRE FORUM BASED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.

THAT WAS DONE PURPOSEFULLY IN ORDER TO PROVIDE MARKET RESPONSIVE, MARKET DRIVEN EFFORTS TO ENCOURAGE ADDITIONAL ROOFTOPS AND ADDITIONAL RESIDENTIAL OPTIONS WITHIN 660 FEET OF STATE HIGHWAY ONE 14 AND ONE 70.

IN TERMS OF BUILDING HEIGHT WITHIN THE TOWN CENTER EDGE ZONE PRINCIPLE BUILDINGS CANNOT EXCEED TWO STORIES IN HEIGHT AND FOUR STORIES WITHIN TOWN CENTER CORE AND TOWN CENTER CIVIC.

AGAIN, UNLIMITED BUILDING HEIGHT WITHIN THE BUILDING.

HEIGHT WAIVER OVERLAY DISTRICT, I'M GONNA COME BACK TO MULTIFAMILY HERE IN A MOMENT, BUT FOR A BUILDING FRONTAGES, THIS IS, THIS IS WHAT IS COMBINED WITH THE BUILDING USE TO HELP SHAPE THE FORM AND DESIGN OF A BUILDING.

AND IT RANGES FROM THE LEAST INTENSE, WHICH IS A DOOR, YARD AND STOOP FOR RESIDENTIAL TO THE MORE INTENSE FOR COMMERCIAL AND MIXED USE.

BUT THE FOUR COURT, A SHOPFRONT AND ARCADE, AND THIS WOULD BE AN EXAMPLE OF A STOOP IN ENTRADA.

SO CREATING THOSE STREET SCAPES WHERE THE BUILDINGS ACTUALLY ENGAGE AND START TO DEFINE AND FRAME THE PUBLIC IS SEMI-PUBLIC REALM.

AGAIN HERE WHERE THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS PARTICULAR CAFE RESTAURANT WITH OUTDOOR SEATING SPACE TO SPILL OUT AND OVER INTO A SIDEWALK.

IN TERMS OF BUILDING USE IN THE TOWN CENTER EDGE ZONES, PRIMARILY DETACHED SINGLE FAMILY TOWN CENTER CORE MIXED USE WITH RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL AND CIVIC.

AND IN A TOWN CENTER, CIVIC ZONES ONLY CIVIC, CULTURAL AND INSTITUTIONAL USES FOR MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES AS PROPOSED, IT WILL ONLY BE WITHIN MIXED USE BUILDINGS.

ON THE GROUND FLOOR, MULTIFAMILY WILL BE PROHIBITED.

THE FIRST FLOOR WILL HAVE TO BE FOR COMMERCIAL USE.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

WHEN I GET TO YOU THE RECOMMENDATION, THEY DID HAVE A SLIGHT MODIFICATION THAT THEY WANTED TO MAKE TO THIS PARTICULAR PROVISION.

MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL PARKING MUST ALSO BE BE WITHIN A PARKING STRUCTURE.

AND AGAIN, IT IS LIMITED TO AN ALLOCATION ALLOWANCE OF 400 UNITS.

AND HERE'S AN EXAMPLE FROM SOUTHLAKE POTENTIALLY OF WHAT THAT COULD LOOK LIKE.

SINCE THAT THE GROUND FLOOR IS FOR RESIDENTIAL USE HERE, BUT AS PROPOSED UNDER THIS FORM BASED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, IT WOULD BE FOR COMMERCIAL SPACE.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE.

AND HERE WITH PARKING ON THE GROUND FLOOR, AND AGAIN, THAT WOULD BE REPLACED BY COMMERCIAL USE AND IT WILL LOOK MORE LIKE THIS IN TERMS OF PARKING, WANT TO BE MORE FLEXIBLE.

THAT RESIDENTIAL REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF 2.0 PARKING SPACES WITHIN TOWN CENTER EDGE MINIMUM OF 1.5 WITHIN TOWN CENTER CORE.

THAT'S TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS ENOUGH PARKING FOR VISITORS FOR MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL OFFICE AND RETAIL 3.0 AND 4.0 RESPECTIVELY FOR EVERY 1000 SQUARE FEET FOR A BED AND BREAKFAST, THAT'S UP TO FIVE ROOMS. 1.0 FOR EACH BEDROOM UP TO FIVE IN ADDITION TO THE PARKING REQUIREMENT FOR THE DWELLING UNIT.

AND THAT WILL HELP DEAL WITH SHORT TERM RENTALS.

AND THEN FOR A HOTEL, THAT NUMBER IS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF BEDROOMS, UH, WHICH IS 1.0 PARKING SPACES FOR EACH, IN ADDITION TO ANY AREA THAT'S FOR FOOD SERVICE, FOR OTHER USES, THAT MUST COMPLY WITH WHAT'S ALREADY IN THE CODE OF ORDINANCES.

IT ALSO ALLOWS FOR PARKING STUDIES AND VALET PROGRAMS TO HELP WITH PROVIDING MORE CREATIVE OPTIONS

[01:10:01]

FOR PARKING.

I KNOW THAT WAS A LOT.

LET ME PAUSE THERE TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS SO FAR.

SO COUPLE QUESTIONS.

SO IN TERMS OF, YOU SAID THAT ANY, UM, EXISTING PROPERTY COULD BE, COULD APPLY TO USE THIS ZONING INSTEAD OF WHAT THEY CURRENTLY HAVE.

UM, AND YOU ALSO SAID THERE'S THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ZONES, RIGHT? WOULD THEY THEN HAVE TO INCORPORATE, DOES ANY PROJECT HAVE TO INCORPORATE ALL THREE ZONES OR COULD THEY PICK AND CHOOSE? THEY COULD PICK AND CHOOSE ONE OR MORE THAN ONE.

AND THE IDEA WITH STRUCTURING IT LIKE THAT WAS TO TAKE A PAGE OUT OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE FOR THE CITY OF ATLANTA, GEORGIA, WHICH INSTEAD OF OVERHAULING THE ENTIRE ZONING ORDINANCE, THEY CREATED ADDITIONAL OPTIONS FOR SURE.

MORE FLEXIBLE AND CONTEMPORARY DEVELOPMENT.

THAT WILL BE THE IDEA HERE IN CREATING MORE OF THOSE TRANSITIONS AND LAND USE INTENSITY AS APPROPRIATE THROUGHOUT THE TOWN.

AND THEN THE OTHER QUESTION WAS WITH THE MULTIFAMILY AND THE 400 LIMIT THAT'S ON ALL AREAS THAT ARE ZONED TO THIS, NOT JUST PER, LIKE FOR EACH ONE.

IT'S THAT IS CORRECT.

CUMULATIVE.

IT'S CUMULATIVE FOR ALL PROPERTIES.

ALL OF WESTLAKE TO BE ALL OF WESTLAKE IF ADOPTED.

I WANNA MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD SOMETHING YOU SAID.

ARE YOU SAYING THAT THERE CAN BE MORE THAN ONE? YES, SIR.

AND IT COULD BE EITHER EDGE, IT COULD BE CORE, OR IT COULD BE CIVIC.

RIGHT? BUT IT COULD, WE HAVE TWO EDGE.

YOU COULD, OR YOU, SO WE, WE COULD HAVE FIVE TOWN CENTERS.

YOU REALLY COULD.

AND THEN THE EDGE WOULD BE PRIMARILY FOR DETACHED SINGLE FAMILY.

AND SO THAT BAKED IN WITH THE REGULATIONS THAT ARE IN PLACE.

IF WE THINK ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS, GOING BACK TO THE JOINT TOWN COUNCIL AND PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING EARLIER THIS YEAR, THAT STARTS TO BAKE IN THE PREDICTABILITY.

SO WHEN I GET TO THE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS HERE IN A MOMENT, THOSE ARE ALL SPELLED OUT.

AND NOW DEVELOPERS AND BUILDERS, THEY KNOW WHAT'S REQUIRED OF THEM ARCHITECTURALLY PLUS WHAT'S REQUIRED OF THEM IN TERMS OF SITE DESIGN.

AND THEN IF MODIFICATIONS ARE NEEDED WHEN YOU GET TO THE SITE PLAN REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS, THAT HAS BEEN BAKED IN AS THIS IS A BASE ZONING DISTRICT.

BUT THIS IS GOING BACK TO WHAT WE REVIEWED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, ANOTHER STEP FORWARD IN GIVING DEVELOPERS OPPORTUNITIES WITH CLEAR DESIGN REQUIREMENTS.

BEFORE THEY START KNOCKING ON OUR DOOR.

AND THEN IT ALSO STREAMLINES THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS BECAUSE NOW ALL OF THE RULES AND REGULATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE KNOWN AND POTENTIALLY CODIFIED IF THIS IS APPROVED.

THANK YOU, JASON.

THIS IS A SIMPLIFICATION, AS MUCH WORK AS YOU'VE PUT INTO THIS, RIGHT? IT IS A SIMPLIFICATION FOR OUR DEVELOPERS.

TWO SETS WITHIN THE PACKET.

I KNOW, I KNOW THIS IS PRETTY LONG, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE EXPLAINED CAREFULLY ALL OF THIS BECAUSE ESSENTIALLY IT COULD REPLACE ALL OF THE RESIDENTIAL DETACHED SINGLE FAMILY ZONING DISTRICTS AND THE COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICTS.

AND THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT A MURAL COULD LOOK LIKE AS PART OF THE SIGNAGE IN TERMS OF BUILDING MATERIALS AND CONFIGURATIONS, SIMPLIFYING AGAIN THAT THE FOCUS IS ON BUILDING WALLS, THE ROOFS, THE OPENINGS, AND THE ATTACHMENTS.

THERE ISN'T ANYTHING WITHIN THE PROPOSED REGULATIONS THAT DEAL WITH EXTERIOR FINISH THAT COULD BE DEALT WITH AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE AGREEMENT OR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

BUT NOW ALL OF THE STANDARDS FOR DESIGN ARE IN ONE PAGE OR IN ONE PLACE, AND THEY'RE WITHIN FOUR TO FIVE PAGES.

AND THAT BUILDS UPON THIS.

IN TERMS OF EXCEPTIONS, THERE ARE SIX THAT THE TOWN PLANNER COULD NOT CONSIDER.

SO THAT WAY IT ENSURES THAT THE FORUM BASED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, THAT IT REMAINS TRUE TO FORM THE MAXIMUM DENSITY AND RATIOS.

THEY CANNOT BE INCREASED BY THE TOWN PLANNER.

THE MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT CANNOT BE INCREASED BY THE TOWN PLANNER, NOR CAN THE MAXIMUM BUILDING SETBACKS, THE MINIMUM HABITABLE SPACE FOR RESIDENTIAL UNITS OR THE MAXIMUM ALLOCATION ALLOWANCE FROM MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS.

AND THEN FINALLY, THE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR SHOPFRONTS, ANY MODIFICATIONS THAT WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK TO TOWN COUNCIL FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL.

SO THIS ZONING DISTRICT, IT IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE VISION, THE VALUES AND EXPECTATIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH IN THE TOWN.

THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING INITIALLY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AS ORIGINALLY PROPOSED, AND THAT'S WHY THERE ARE

[01:15:01]

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, THEY MET ON JUNE 11TH AND THEY CONDUCTED A PUBLIC HEARING AND RECOMMENDED THE FOLLOWING THAT TOWN PLANNER BE REPLACED WITH TOWN MANAGER OR THEIR DESIGNEE IN TERMS OF ANY MODIFICATIONS TO SITE PLANS.

AND THAT THERE BE A CLARIFICATION TO MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS AND MIXED USE BUILDINGS IE THAT THE FIRST FLOOR COMMERCIAL USES WILL HAVE TO HAVE A MINIMUM DEATH OF 40 FEET.

AND THESE ARE THE ACTIONS OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO YOU.

I'LL PAUSE THERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

WHAT WAS THAT LAST, UM, RECOMMENDATION ABOUT THE 40 FEET? THE DEATH OF 40 FEET.

SO THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY IN THE DESIGN OF BUILDINGS.

SO IF THEY WANT TO PLACE PARKING BEHIND THE COMMERCIAL USES, THEY COULD DO THAT.

I SEE.

UM, ONE OTHER QUESTION I HAD WAS WHAT YOU HAD SAID THAT THIS COULD BE APPLIED TO OTHER DEVELOPMENTS AND IT COULD BE APPLIED TO OUR RESIDENTIAL AREAS.

SO WHAT IS THAT LOCKING US INTO? I MEAN, ARE WE, I I DON'T RECALL WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT LIKE MINIMUM PLOT SIZE, MINIMUM HOUSE SIZE, THINGS LIKE THAT.

BECAUSE IF WE'RE GONNA APPLY THIS, IF THERE'S ANY LAND LEFT, BELIEVE REALLY.

SO, BUT GETTING THAT, BUT IF THERE IS ANY LAND LEFT WHERE A RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE ABLE TO COME IN AND THEY COULD USE THESE, UM, THESE STIPULATIONS, I'D LIKE TO UNDERSTAND THAT CLEARLY.

YES, MA'AM.

SO THE BUILDING SETBACKS ARE STILL IN EFFECT FOR RESIDENTIAL AND FOR NON-RESIDENTIAL USES, EVEN WITHOUT THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE.

SO KIND OF FOLLOWING ENTRADA A LITTLE BIT AND EVEN THE FRONT 44 PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.

AND WITH THAT THERE'S LOT COVERAGE THAT'S GOVERNING AS WELL AS THE SIDE YARD, THE REAR YARD SETBACKS THAT WILL HELP TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE NOT GETTING DEVELOPMENT THAT'S OUTSIDE THE CHARACTER OF THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE.

THE OTHER THING THAT I WILL POSIT FOR THE TOWN COUNCIL TO CONSIDER WITH THIS PROPOSED ZONING DISTRICT IS THAT EVEN THOUGH IT CAN BE APPLIED IN DIFFERENT AREAS, THAT REQUEST STILL MUST BE FORMALLY APPROVED.

SO IF THE AREA THAT IS UNDER CONSIDERATION ISN'T THE BEST USE OF THIS ZONING DISTRICT, THEN AT YOUR DISCRETION IT COULD BE DENIED.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IT'S A PUBLIC HEARING OPEN? YES SIR.

I'M GONNA OPEN UP TO A PUBLIC HEARING.

DOES ANYBODY WANT TO COMMENT? I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNSEL? CAN I GET A MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 2002 FOUR AS PRESENTED? MOVED.

SECOND.

ITEMS. UH, H 0.1, CONSIDER AN ACT APPROVED WA RESOLUTION 25 DASH 15 ADOPTING THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30TH, 2026, INCLUDING COMMITTED AND ASSIGNED FUND BALANCES.

[H.1. Consider and act to approve WA Resolution 25-15 adopting the Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2026, including Committed and Assigned Fund Balances (Cayce Lay Lamas, Finance Director)]

THINK THERE'S ANY OTHER QUESTIONS WE HAVE OR IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS? WE HAVE ON THE BUDGET YOU'RE READY TO ANSWER? I I'M READY IF Y'ALL WERE JUST SO FOCUSED ON THE ACADEMY BUDGET WHILE JASON WAS, QUESTIONS THAT POPPED INTO YOUR HEAD.

ANY QUESTIONS? AND I I I GUESS I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION.

UM, MICHELLE KELLY? ARE, ARE, ARE YOU GOOD WITH THE BUDGET? WELL, I THINK CASEY AND MARLENE AND WADE AND ALL OF THE BOARD MEMBERS WHO WEIGHED IN, WE, I THINK WE HAD A REALLY PRODUCTIVE, UH, MEETING AND, AND KIND OF CAME TO A PRODUCT THAT I THINK WE'RE ALL PRETTY PROUD OF.

SO I'D LIKE TO RECOMMEND FOR CONSIDERATION FOR NEXT YEAR THAT YOU TAKE THE PERSON, KELLY.

I I CAN DO THAT.

I THINK WE'LL SEE .

H TWO, CONSIDER ADOPTING WA RESOLUTION 25 DASH ONE SEVEN, ADOPTING THE EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION PLAN FOR THE 2025 2026 FISCAL YEAR.

I, I I LIKE THAT.

I THINK THAT OWNERSHIP, LISTEN, I KNOW THIS WAS, UH, UM, DIFFICULT AS WE CONTINUE KIND OF THIS MULTI-YEAR JOURNEY TO GET EVERYTHING KIND OF FLUSHED OUT.

UM, TWO CYCLES IS NOT THAT LONG.

THE WHOLE SCOPE OF THINGS, AND I AM VERY PLEASED WITH WHERE THIS CAME OUT.

AND I DO WANT, I KNOW WE GOT THE TOWN BUDGET COMING UP, FACING AWAY TO WANT THE SAME DILIGENCE THAT WE HAD ON THE SCHOOL BUDGET.

I WANNA LOOK AT EVERY EXPENSE, YOU KNOW, EVERY SPEND AND MAKE SURE WE FEEL AS COMFORTABLE GOING FORWARD AND, UM, JUST CONTINUE TO IMPROVE THE PROCESS.

BUT I REALLY DO THANK ALL OF YOU GUYS VERY MUCH FOR THIS.

ALL RIGHT.

SO I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE BUDGET THEN.

UM, ALL IN FAVOR? SECOND.

[01:20:01]

[H.2. Consider approving WA Resolution 25-17 adopting the Employee Compensation Plan for the 2025-2026 Fiscal Year; and take appropriate action (Sandy Garza, Human Resources Director)]

TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.

HI, SANDY.

HI.

OH, AS CASEY HAS SPOKEN, WE WILL BE PRESENTING A COMPENSATION PLAN, BUT WITH AN AMENDMENT COMING SOON BECAUSE OF HB TOO.

BUT, UM, SO TONIGHT I WANNA START OFF WITH SOME CONTEXT OF WHERE WE'RE AT AND WHAT OUR NEXT STEPS ARE GOING FORWARD.

SO FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE NEW, OR IF THIS IS A REVIEW, I WANTED TO POINT OUT WHERE WESTLAKE CURRENTLY STANDS WITH SALARY COMPARISONS, UH, TO OUR NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS.

SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT CHART, THE FIRST CHART, WE'RE ONLY GONNA STRICTLY LOOK AT WHERE OUR STARTING SALARIES ARE AT.

SO WE ARE $500 LESS THAN WHAT NORTHWEST ISD IS, BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT WE ARE VERY COMPETITIVE WITH OUR BIG DISTRICTS AROUND US AND, UH, WAY AHEAD, UH, ON CHARTER SCHOOLS, ANY OF THE IB CHARTER SCHOOLS.

UM, IN SCHOOL WORLD, WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT TOTAL COMPENSATION, WHAT WE DO TO COMPARE DISTRICTS FROM ONE TO ANOTHER IS A SALARY AND YOUR DISTRICT CONTRIBUTION OR THE ACADEMY'S CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS BENEFITS.

SO WITH THAT, OUR TOTAL COMPENSATION, IF YOU LOOK AT THE SALARY AT 61,000 AND THEN A MONTHLY CONTRIBUTION RATE OF $505, YOU CAN SEE THAT WE ARE WAY AHEAD OF OUR ING.

ANDY, WHAT IS THAT LAST ONE? IMAGINE INTERNATIONAL.

IT IS, WHAT IS IT? AND WHERE IS IT? THAT'S A K THROUGH 12 CHARTER ID CHARTER SCHOOL IN MCKINNEY.

IT'S ACTUALLY RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER FROM MY HOUSE.

AND, UM, WE ARE VERY, VERY FORTUNATE HERE TO BE THE, THE, THE TEACHERS AND STAFF WHO WORK AT WESTLAKE ACADEMY ARE VERY FORTUNATE TO BE, UM, CONSIDERED BY THE BOARD IN THESE WAYS.

BECAUSE WE DON'T TAKE THE COMPENSATION THAT WE RECEIVE HERE LIGHTLY.

WE, WE KNOW THAT IT'S, UH, SETTING A STANDARD FOR THESE TYPES OF SCHOOLS.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE COMPENSATION? I JUST, I KNOW A FEW OF YOU ARE NEW, SO I JUST WANTED TO SHOW WHERE WE'RE AT AND THEN AS WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE HB CHANGING OUR SALARY HERE, UM, WHERE WE'RE GOING TO LAND.

KELLY, I JUST A, A QUESTION, DO OUR, AND I SHOULD KNOW THIS, THIS, I'VE BEEN AROUND LONG ENOUGH, BUT DO OUR TEACHERS REALIZE THAT OUR SALARIES, DO THEY REALIZE THIS? I DON'T KNOW.

I THINK IT DEPENDS UPON WHICH ONES YOU TALK TO LIKE THAT.

WE'RE, I I THINK EVERYBODY IS VERY HAPPY TO BE AT WESTLAKE ACADEMY.

I THINK, UM, ANYTIME WE'RE IN A YEAR WHERE BUDGET CONSTRAINTS FEEL TIED AND THERE'S LOTS OF CONVERSATIONS GOING ON ABOUT SCHOOL BUDGETS, UM, THERE'S JUST A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF ANXIETY AROUND THAT.

BUT I, I DO THINK FOR THE MOST PART, OUR STAFF UNDERSTANDS THAT WE ARE, WE ARE VERY WELL COMPENSATED IN A, IN A FIELD.

WE'RE, YOU KNOW, THIS IS JUST ALWAYS A DISCUSSION, BUT, UM, I REALLY APPRECIATE, AND I KNOW EVERYBODY APPRECIATES THE FACT THAT OUR COMP SCHOOLS ARE THE SCHOOLS AROUND US VERSUS, YOU KNOW, COMPARING APPLES TO ORANGES, WHICH WOULD BE IB SCHOOLS IN OTHER AREAS, OR, YOU KNOW, SCHOOLS THAT ARE NOT COMPETING FOR THE TEACHERS THAT WE ARE COMPETING FOR.

BECAUSE WE KNOW IF WE CAN'T OFFER SIMILAR SALARIES TO KELLER AND NORTHWEST AND SOUTHLAKE, WE'RE, YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T, WE CAN'T PRO WE CAN'T PROVIDE OUR STUDENTS THE SERVICES THAT WE WANT TO DO.

THEY GET TO SEE THIS COMPARISON, ESPECIALLY THE TOTAL COMP, WHICH IS ACTUALLY MORE RELEVANT THAN SALARY.

UM, EACH YEAR WE SEND OUT A COMPENSATION AND THEN THEY HAVE ACCESS TO IT, UH, 24 7.

THIS, OH, THE ACTUAL CHART? NO, IT'S BEEN PRESENTED EACH YEAR, BUT WE CAN DEFINITELY PUT THAT OUT THERE.

REALITY OVER PERCEPTION.

AND KELLY, BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT OR BACK TO SCHOOL DAY, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

LOOK, HERE'S,

[01:25:01]

HERE'S THE THING.

I EXPECT US TO BE BEST PAID, RIGHT? AND I ALSO EXPECT, AND I'LL SPEAK FOR THE BOARD, THE BEST RESULTS.

NOW, I JUST FINISHED UP MY ARTICLE FOR STROLL MAGAZINE, WHERE I'M BRAGGING ON THIS GRADUATING CLASS.

AND I, I AM BLOWN AWAY BY THE LEVEL OF ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT FROM OUR SCHOOL ON OUR 73 KIDS THAT JUST GRADUATED.

THE NUMBER OF HONORS, THE AP SCHOLARS, ALL YOU GO ON AND ON, IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.

BUT I DO WANT THEM TO REALIZE THIS.

AND I REALLY LIKE TO GET THE NOISE DOWN FROM WHATEVER THE STATE AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS DOING.

EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON TV, THIS IS REALITY.

AND THE REAL REALITY IS WE'RE INVESTING A LOT OF MONEY IN THAT SCHOOL GOING FORWARD.

SO LOVE TO GET THIS PUBLICIZED.

AND I THINK, UH, TO THAT POINT, SANDY, JUST, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE START THE SCHOOL YEAR JUST REFRESHING EVERYBODY'S MIND THAT YOU GUYS HAVE MADE A REALLY SERIOUS INVESTMENT IN MAKING SURE THAT OUR TEACHERS AND OUR STAFF ARE VERY WELL COMPENSATED.

I, I ABSOLUTELY, I, I KNOW THAT I, I PROMISE I TELL 'EM THAT EVERY TIME WE HAVE ONE OF THE MOST SUPPORTIVE BOARDS WE COULD POSSIBLY HAVE.

SO THANK Y'ALL FOR THAT.

PERFECT.

HAVE Y'ALL DONE ANALYSIS OF OUT-OF-POCKET, UH, USAGE BY TEACHERS AS WELL? BECAUSE I KNOW IN THE PUBLIC, A LOT OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, LIKE KELLER TEACHERS ARE SPENDING A LOT OF THEIR OWN MONEY ON SUPPLIES AND OTHER THINGS.

OH, ALL THE FOUNDATION.

THE FOUNDATION FOUNDATION DOES HELP HER.

MM-HMM .

OH, YES.

I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE QUESTION.

THERE ARE, THERE ARE A LOT OF, UM, WHAT WE CALL SOFTER BENEFITS.

OBVIOUSLY THE WAY THE FOUNDATION HELPS FOR TEACHERS TO SET THOSE UP, OUR HOC IS VERY GENEROUS, UM, WITH GIFTS AND DONATIONS AND MORALE BUILDING, UM, TYPE THINGS THAT, THAT GO A LONG WAY.

OUR, OUR AFFILIATE GROUPS ARE ESSENTIAL.

AND ALSO WE HAVE A LOT OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS THAT I, I, THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL THIS YEAR, I CAME IN ALMOST EVERY DAY.

AND THERE WAS FOOD DURING ALL THIS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

AND NORMALLY WHEN YOU GO BACK TO SCHOOL, YOU GET LIKE ONE DAY OF BREAKFAST AND THEN YOU'RE TO WORK.

AND IT WAS SOMETHING ALMOST EVERY DAY FOR THOSE PD DAYS, WHICH IS JUST, AGAIN, JUST A HUGE SHOW OF SUPPORT FOR HOW MUCH, UH, THE COMMUNITY APPRECIATES WHAT THE SCHOOL DOES.

AND SO THERE'S ALL OF THESE OTHER KIND OF, UM, LIKE I SAID, SOFTER, SOFTER TYPES OF REINFORCEMENTS TOO WELL DESERVED.

SANDY, WHY ARE THERE TWO CHARTS, SIR? WHY ARE THERE TWO CHARTS? OH, IF THE TOP CHART IS SHOWING JUST SALARY, IF WE WEREN'T TO ADD IN THAT, UH, EXTRA PIECE ON THE BENEFIT CONTRIBUTION RATE FOR OUR HEALTH BENEFITS.

SO IF, IF WE WERE JUST LOOKING AT SALARY, WE COME, UH, AT 61,000 FOR A ZERO YEAR STARTING.

OH, I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

AS FAR AS, 'CAUSE THE NUMBERS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME, IT'S JUST THE RANKINGS.

AN $8,000 INCREASE, UM, TO THEIR SALARY.

WELL, AND THEN SECOND CHART, WHEN YOU ADD THAT HIGH CONTRIBUTION RATE, WHICH I WANTED YOU TO SEE, THAT NORTHWEST IS SECOND IN LINE, AND THAT'S AT 3 45.

KELLER CONTRIBUTES $275 TOWARDS THEIR BENEFIT COSTS.

SO THAT'S ANOTHER WAY THAT OUR, OUR, UH, ALL OUR EDUCATORS ARE TAKEN CARE OF.

UM, NOT JUST THE PERFECT.

SO OF COURSE THE HOT NEWS IS HB TWO AND, UM, THERE ARE MANY COMPONENTS TO HB TWO, BUT I WANTED TO FOCUS IN ON THE COMPENSATION PIECE AND WHAT THAT MEANS FOR US.

SO, UH, WE KNOW THAT THIS WAS THE LARGEST PUBLIC SCHOOL, UH, FUNDING INCREASE IN TEXAS HISTORY.

SO WE ARE SCRAMBLING RIGHT NOW WITH T-E-A-A-S-B, UH, YOU NAME IT.

JUST TRYING TO GET DIRECTION EXACTLY HOW THIS HAS TO ROLL OUT.

LEGALLY.

WE RECEIVED SOME NEWS LATE LAST WEEK.

UM, BUT THERE IS, THERE ARE A FEW COMPONENTS.

SO THEY'RE GIVING US BITS AND BITS OF INFORMATION THAT WE'LL HAVE TO COME BACK AND OBVIOUSLY AMEND THE COMPENSATION SCHEDULE.

SO WITH THAT, THEIR DECISIONS WERE TO HAVE RAISES BASED ON TEACHER EXPERIENCE AND THEN ALSO NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN, IN THE DISTRICT.

AND I KEEP SAYING DISTRICT ACADEMY, BUT, UH, FOR US, WHAT THAT MEANT IS THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE LESS THAN 5,000 STUDENTS, OUR TEACHERS WITH, AND I DON'T WANNA MISQUOTE THREE TO FOUR YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, WILL RECEIVE A $4,000 INCREASE SALARY.

UM, CLASSROOM TEACHERS, FIVE OR MORE YEARS WILL RECEIVE

[01:30:01]

WHAT, SO THESE ARE, WHAT'S OUR AVERAGE TENURE? DO YOU KNOW OFFHAND? OUR TEACHING STAFF, UM, I CAN RUN THAT AND GET THAT BACK TO YOU, BUT IT'S, UH, OUR TEACHERS ARE TENURE EXPERIENCE.

YEAH, YEAH.

WE DON'T HAVE A, A LOT OF ZERO YEAR.

TWO OF ZERO YEAR.

SO, UH, WITH THAT, THAT SECOND PIECE THAT WE'RE STILL WAITING TO SEE HOW THAT ROLLS OUT IS ON THE SUPPORT STAFF PORTION THAT WAS APPROVED.

UH, WITHOUT GETTING TOO INTO DETAIL THAT SHOULD AND SEEING HOW THAT ROLLS OUT, THAT WOULD TAKE CARE OF OTHER FOLKS THAT, UH, MAY BE ON A TEACHER'S SCHEDULE BUT AREN'T ACTUALLY A CLASSROOM TEACHER.

BECAUSE THOSE BIG RAISES GO TO CLASSROOM TEACHERS AND IT'S VERY WELL DEFINED WHO A CLASSROOM TEACHER IS.

SO YOUR LIBRARIANS, COUNSELORS, COORDINATORS DID NOT HIT THIS BIG RAISE.

AND NOW WE HAVE TO SEE WHAT PORTION OF THIS, UH, SUPPORT STAFF FUNDING COMES ACTUALLY TRUE.

BUT, BUT, BUT LET'S BE HONEST, THIS IS WONDERFUL, RIGHT.

FOR OUR TEACHERS.

OH, ABSOLUTELY.

BUT LET'S BE HONEST ABOUT IT.

WE KNOW THIS IS GOOD FOR TWO YEARS, FUNDED FOR TWO YEARS, IT'S FUNDED FOR TWO YEARS BECAUSE, BUT IF THE LEGISLATOR DE DECIDES NOT TO DO THIS WHEN THEY RECONVENE, WE'RE GONNA HAVE A COMPENSATION ISSUE.

SO THEY'RE GONNA, THEY'RE GONNA, HOWEVER YOU DO MECHANICALLY, THEY GIVE US SUBSIDY FOR THE SALARIES.

, THAT'S, I MEAN, YEAH.

SO NOW I DON'T THINK THEY'RE GONNA DO THAT.

LISTEN, I, LIKE, I AM FRUSTRATED AT OUR TIME IN AUSTIN, BUT I DO UNDERSTAND THEY ARE TRYING TO GET THE MONEY TO THE TEACHERS AND THEY'VE DONE THAT, RIGHT? SO WE SHOULD BE VERY APPRECIATIVE.

BUT TWO YEARS FROM NOW, I DON'T WANNA BE SAYING WE GOTTA COME UP WITH DR.

RICHIE HAS A BUDGET CHALLENGE ON, ON, ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE.

I'M NOT SAYING THAT WILL HAPPEN, BUT I WANT US TO BE CLEAR ABOUT THAT.

YEP, THAT IS A GREAT POINT.

AND THERE ARE ABOUT 75 PEOPLE ON AN HR, UH, CHAT THING THAT WE GET TOGETHER.

AND THAT IS THE BIG THING.

WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IF THE FUNDING'S NOT THERE? SO EVERYBODY WAS TRYING TO BE CREATIVE, BUT TA IS GIVING US SOME STRICT GUIDANCE ON HOW THAT HAS TO BE, UH, PRINTED OUT ON OUR COMPENSATION SCHEDULE.

GOOD.

AND, UH, YOU KNOW, SO THAT IT'S GIVEN OUT THERE AND WE'LL JUST HAVE TO GET IF IT DOES.

YEAH, I GET FUNDED.

I IS THERE ANY PRECEDENT FOR THE ROLLING BACK SALARY? SAY THAT AGAIN? IS THERE ANY PRECEDENT FOR THE LEGISLATURE ROLLING BACK? UH, CONTRIBUTIONS NOT ROLL? YES, THERE ACTUALLY IS HAVE, HAVE THEY DONE A SALARY THING LIKE THIS BEFORE? OUR LEGISLATORS, THEY IN OTHER METHODS, UH, BUT NOT THIS, NOT A DIRECT WHERE THIS TEACHER GETS 8,000 BUCKS AND THEY'RE GONNA DO IT MONTHLY.

A FEW YEARS AGO THEY DID ONE AND SAID, YOU MUST PAY TEACHERS.

AND I BELIEVE IT WAS WITH THREE TO FIVE YEARS A CERTAIN AMOUNT, BUT NEVER AT, AT THIS.

IT WAS STILL MANAGEABLE.

AND WHAT GETS OUT OF WHACK AND NOT THAT, UH, IS OUR COMPENSATION SCHEDULES, BECAUSE THEN YOU'LL START SEEING ZERO AND ONE YEAR AT A CERTAIN.

AND THEN, SO WE WANT TO ALIGN OURSELVES WITH WHAT OUR NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS ARE DOING SO THAT WE DON'T START THAT ADDITIVE EDGE IF WE, WELL, WE ALWAYS WANNA COMPETE, BUT THAT WE ARE MATCHING, MATCHING UP IN WHAT OUR, WE WANNA, WHAT WE WANNA, YES.

UM, THIS IS NOT UP FOR DISCUSSION.

THIS MONEY'S GOING TO THESE TEACHERS.

THERE'S NOT A WAY TO ALLOCATE IT.

I MEAN, WHICH IS PERFECT.

RIGHT? RIGHT.

IT'S NOT UP CLASSROOM TEACHERS WITH THIS.

GOT IT.

MR. ALEXANDER? THANK YOU MAYOR.

WE'RE, WE'RE STILL HAVING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT OUR ZERO YEAR TEACHERS AND OUR ONE AND TWO YEAR TEACHERS, UH, IF, HOW THAT FUNDING WILL GET FOR THEM.

IF THERE IS AN, OKAY.

ANDY, ONE, MAYBE ONE MORE QUESTION MIGHT BE FIVE MORE QUESTION FINES, BUT PROBABLY IF WE'RE LOOKING AT SCHOOLS THAT ARE MORE THAN 5,000 STUDENTS, I'M ASSUMING THAT THEY'RE GONNA BE DIFFERENT NUMBERS.

CORRECT.

ARE ANY OF THE SCHOOLS THAT WE PUT UP ON THAT CHART MORE THAN 5,000 STUDENTS? OH YES.

THE, SO WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? HOW MUCH ARE THEY GETTING? MORE, LESS.

WE GOT MORE, BUT LESS OR LESS.

[01:35:01]

AND YEAH, SO THE, THE NICE THING ABOUT THE LEGISLATURE IS THEY ARE, THEY ARE PRIORITIZING RURAL SCHOOLS, WHICH WE ARE ONE, WHICH IS, AND I THINK, UH, MAY SEE SOME OTHER THINGS COME INTO PLAY.

THE BIGGER SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE BIGGER ISDS, CORRECT? YEP.

KELLER HAS OR HAD ABOUT 34,000 STUDENTS.

YOU'RE LOOKING IN COMPARISON.

I MEAN THE, OUR NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS ARE, UH, THAT'S ANOTHER THING WE NEED OUT WHEN WE'RE SHOWING COMPARISONS.

NOW WE'VE JUMPED UP FOR X AND THE COMPETING SCHOOLS HAVE JUMPED UP BY X MINUS SOMETHING.

SO FOR TODAY'S, UH, PRESENTATION, UH, WHAT ALL I DID WAS TAKE OUR 24 25 SCHEDULES AND ROLL THEM OVER.

UH, THERE WERE SOME REVISIONS TO THE ADMINISTRATION SCHEDULE, SUPPORT, ACADEMIC STIPEND SCHEDULE, SUMMER SCHEDULE, AND THE CALENDAR DAYS.

AND THOSE, ALL THOSE CHANGES WERE NOTED IN YOUR, UH, AGENDA PACKET.

WERE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THOSE? SO, UM, SUMMARY, UH, WE'VE PRESENTED THIS WAY AND WE ARE, UH, MOVING FORWARD IF THE BOARD, IF THE BOARD WILL APPROVE THE COMPENSATION AS SENATE WITH PUBLIC ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

, I WANT TO MAKE I SAY PUBLIC ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, WHICH CASEY HAS MENTIONED THAT WE WILL BE AMENDING THE, THE SCHEDULE IN THE FUTURE.

CAN I GET A MOTION TO APPROVE WA RESOLUTION 25 DASH 17.

ANY OPPOSED, GARY? THANK YOU.

EXCELLENT PRESENTATIONS.

YEAH, WELL DONE.

YEAH, AND I, AGAIN, I WANNA JUST GO ON RECORD TO OUR SENATOR AND REPRESENTATIVE AND, AND ALL THE LEGISLATORS WE MET WITH.

WE REALLY DO APPRECIATE IT.

WE'RE GONNA BE REALLY WELL PREPARED FOR THE SESSION IN TWO YEARS.

AND, YOU KNOW, MY FIRST THOUGHT WHEN I SAW THE BASIC ALLOCATION, BUT I THINK I DO UNDERSTAND.

I THINK WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO AND THEY ARE GETTING, IT WAS THE LARGEST BILL EVER PASSED IN THE STATE, BUT WE ARE VERY APPRECIATIVE AND WE CAN'T WAIT TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY HOW IT WORKS.

I DID HEAR, I THINK YOU GUYS KNOW, I HAVE A FRIEND THAT'S A RETIRED LOBBYIST.

HE SAID EVERY, UH, REPRESENTATIVE AND SENATOR SOON WILL GET A DETAILED REPORT FOR EVERY SCHOOL IN THEIR AREA.

WHAT THESE PAST LEGISLATIONS LEGISLATORS ME.

SO, UM, I'M SURE T A'S IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT, BUT WE'LL HOPEFULLY WE'LL KNOW THAT.

THANK YOU ALL.

UM, EIGHT

[H.3. Discuss, consider and act to adopt Ordinance 1025 approving architectural standards for the Solana Hills Residential Development; providing a penalty; providing a cumulative clause; providing a severability clause; providing a savings clause; authorizing publication; and establishing an effective date (Jason Alexander, AICP, CEcD, Deputy Town Manager).]

SHOT THREE.

DISCUSS, CONSIDER AN ACT TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 1 0 2 5 APPROVING ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS FOR SOLANA HILLS RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, PROVIDING A PENALTY, PROVIDING THE CUMULATIVE CLAUSE, PROVIDING A FAVORABILITY CLAUSE, PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE, AUTHORIZING PUBLICATION, AND ESTABLISH AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

SO THAT'S NOT SPECIFICALLY LAID OUT IN THESE BUILDING REQUIREMENTS, BUT THEIR INTENTION, I'M GUESSING IS TO GO WITH THESE, THE TYPE OF THIS, BUT THERE'S FLEXIBILITY OBVIOUSLY.

THAT CLAUSE A MUCH SHORTER PRESENTATION FOR YOU ALL HERE.

THESE ARE THE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS THAT ARE COMING FROM ORDINANCE NUMBER 9 82.

THAT WAS A PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FOR SOLANA HILLS THAT WAS APPROVED ON FEBRUARY 27TH, 2023.

IN TERMS OF THESE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS, THEY WERE PREPARED IN COLLABORATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT.

AND THEY ARE CONCISE.

THEY DO GROW FROM THE IMAGES THAT WERE PROVIDED IN ORDINANCE NUMBER 9 82 AND VERY SIMILAR TO THE TOWN CENTER FORUM BASED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.

THE PRIMARY FOCUS IS ON BUILDING FACADES, ROOFS, OPENINGS, ATTACHMENTS, AND LANDSCAPING.

THIS IS ONE OF THE IMAGES FROM THE PD THAT IS POTENTIALLY WHAT IT COULD LOOK LIKE.

IT IS THE SAME ARCHITECT, JUAN LOU OLIVER, AND HE DID THE SAME THING HERE IN ALPHARETTA, GEORGIA.

THE OTHER IMAGE FROM THE PD, POTENTIALLY WHAT THAT COULD LOOK LIKE IS THIS.

AND AGAIN, THOSE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS AS PROPOSED, THEY ARE CONSISTENT AND IN SOME INSTANCES THEY GO ABOVE AND BEYOND THE COMMUNITY'S EXPECTATIONS FOR ARCHITECTURE, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE, AND SITE DESIGN.

THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL AS PRESENTED.

I'M NOT SURE IF THE APPLICANT IS HERE, BUT I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR JASON? JUST A QUICK QUESTION.

IN TERMS OF ARCHITECTURAL STYLE,

[01:40:01]

THAT'S CORRECT.

BECAUSE IT'S CAN, IT'S NOT SPECIFICALLY LAID OUT THAT OKAY.

YES MA'AM.

OTHER QUESTIONS? I GUESS MY ONLY THING IS LIKE, SO WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT THERE ARE, ARE THERE GONNA BE FLEXIBILITY IN TERMS OF THE, THE DESIGN? LIKE, LIKE SOME NEIGHBORHOODS OBVIOUSLY, LIKE VACCARO HAS VERY MIXED DESIGN STANDARDS.

MM-HMM .

WHEREAS, UM, OTHER ONES ARE VERY MUCH MORE LIKE NOLES IS VERY UNIFORM IS GIVE, IT GIVES IT FLEXIBILITY TO VARY.

IT DOES.

DO FOUR, CONSIDER APPROVING WA RESOLUTION 25 DASH 18 FOR WESTLAKE ACADEMY BUILDING PROPERTY, CASUALTY INSURANCE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES TO BOX INSURANCE AGENCY FOR THE PERIOD OF JULY 1ST, 2025 TO JUNE 30TH, 2000, 2026.

AND REALLY THEIR FOCUS IS MORE SO ON THE PALETTE OF MATERIALS.

SO THAT WAY THERE'S STILL CONTINUITY VISUALLY, BUT THERE'S STILL ROOM FOR CREATIVITY AND EXPLORATION AND DESIGN.

AND I DID NOTICE THAT IN THE ROOFING STANDARDS IT DOES ALLOW THE CONCRETE TILES, BUT IT SAYS THAT SYNTHETIC HAS TO BE APPROVED.

YES MA'AM.

, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? UH, DO I HAVE A MOTION TO ADOPT ORDINANCE ONE THOU 1 0 2 5 IS PRESENTED.

OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES.

JASON, THANK YOU AGAIN.

[H.4. Consider approving WA Resolution 25-18 for Westlake Academy Building Property Casualty Insurance Products and Services to Box Insurance Agency for the period of July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026; and take appropriate action.]

AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.

HEY SANDY, QUICK BACKGROUND.

WE DO GO OUT TO BID EACH YEAR FOR THE, UH, INSURANCE COVERAGES FOR THE, UH, ACADEMY BUILDINGS AND A SLEW OF LISTS THAT GOES ON.

UM, WE HAD ONE PERSON OR ONE COMPANY RESPOND AND BOX HAS BEEN WITH THE ACADEMY SINCE IT OPENED UP.

SO WE HAVE HAD THAT PARTNERSHIP FOR 22 YEARS NOW WITH BOX.

SO THEY ARE A LONGSTANDING PARTNER.

SO THAT WAS THE ONLY, YES SIR, WE HAD A COUPLE PEOPLE ASK FOR LOSS RUNS AND, AND NOT THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF CLAIMS, BUT I BELIEVE PART OF THAT, AND IT'S JUST MY OPINION IS JUST, UM, WE ARE LOOKING AT, AT A HIGHER, UH, MATERIAL TYPE OF BUILDING AND THEN ALSO THE WIDE RANGE OF COVERAGES THAT WE REQUEST.

SO, UM, WITH, UH, INFLATION AS IT IS EVERYWHERE ELSE, WE DID END UP WITH AN 11% INCREASE, UH, TO THE PREMIUMS, WHICH GIVES, UH, AND THAT WAS A TOTAL OF 22,735.

EACH FIVE DISCUSS CONSIDERED ACT REGARDING RESOLUTION 25 DASH 20 TO CONTINUE AND EXPAND THE TOWN'S PARTNERSHIP WITH ONE DIGITAL FOR EMPLOYEE BENEFIT CONSULTING, WELLNESS STRATEGIES, ANALYTIC SUPPORT, AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE.
