We were actually. Showtime. Well last time I didn't think that it gabbled loud enough so I go wait it must be the round factor instead of the gabbling. All right call the order of the September 25th. 2024 meeting of the municipal development district. We have a full core. Everybody is here. Did we get any citizens inquiries? None. All right. Presentation of the cash flow report. And I look over here for Lee. I'm going to go ahead and see what we can do. I'm going to go ahead and see what we can do. I'm going to go ahead and see what we can do. All right. Presentation of the cash flow report. And I said, I look over here for Lisa, Lisa's way over there. Okay. And of course, slow is human mouse. I apologize. No problem. So we did not meet last month, so I did update the cash flow analysis or monthly cash flow for July and August. But just to go through it real quick, the starting cash was 1.9 million. We were running about 260,000 worth of revenue, the majority of that sales tax. There were some operational costs for retainer and then the NBD capital project costs, those came up to $77,000, almost $8,000. And then the general fund fee transfer of $22,000. It brings down your cash to 2.1 million. When you take out the reserve balance requirement that brings you down to about 1.7. And then when you take out those carryover projects that takes you down to just over a million dollars. Okay. I do want to note just the comment at the bottom of this document. We're in the middle of audit prep, so there's a lot of transfers, a lot of true of Plankhappel projects happening, so these numbers might fluctuate a little bit once being, um, clean some of that stuff up as well. Yeah, you're going to clean that up on item six, right? Uh, yeah? Yeah. Okay. Can I ask you a question? Yes. I find that July statement, our revenues were 336, which was the highest so far in the year. It was low, it jumped up real high and then jumped back down to sort of where it normally is. So what happened with that $336? So there's $100,000 in there that was the contribution from Montgomery County for the excess today memorial drive project. We talked about that in the workshop. Cause came up a little bit higher. We reached out to the county and they honored 100,000. So that's what that once for. Okay. Thank you. No problem. Anything else? Anybody? All right. Item five is the presentation of the Capital Project Report. Shaking off the cobwebs when we last met in July, we approved our budget and we also approved the 10-year CIP. And then moving right along, then the Wilman Road drainage project, construction now is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2024. It's pending the Incomeus Hospital drainage easement, temporary construction easements. Vision Park Roundabout seems to me there's an agenda item on that tonight. Bit opening took place and you'll see is we're going to have an item six. We're going to need a little additional funding for that. Up at Biles check the references and we'll be providing the recommendation of the award. Okay, longer term projects. David Memorial and Tama intersection improvements. The update is that we're communicating with the telecoms regarding relocation of wires to a new poll. The monument sides for a long I-45 text. That's advised us that a response is going to take a long time due to other high priority projects. So we'll keep it on there just for reference but don't be expecting any updates anytime soon. Vision Park, deep and in amenity the veterans point is under construction. We've approved change orders one two and three. They've completed retaining wall and foundations poured the flagpole pears and currently forming up the seat walls and also attempting to capture some naughty nutria that are chewing electrical wires and the pot for the pumps, right? Yes, one of the pump tables. Okay, little buggers. Waste water treatment plant improvements. Wait, I skipped one. Yeah, I skipped the I-45 intersection improvements. TextOT is going to bid and manage the construction and TextOT has scheduled a scoping beading. Well, scheduled for today. But I don't have any updates for that. General fun and water and sewer enterprise, the wastewater treatment plant, they completed the concrete pores for the digester walls, the generator and blower pads, plus partial motor control center pad, and they're currently forming the upper deck of the digester and there's no updates on anything with the pin in our projects at this point. Frontlies from the last time. Any questions? Okay. Item 6. Presentation of General Fund Reimbursements. Present, directors of the Senior Agenda Packet. There is a chart on the agenda form that shows the General Fund the reimbursement amounts, just for a little quick background. NDD contributes so much funding to the general fund because of the shared services they see with finance administration, the capital projects, personnel, legal, technology fees, and they pay for their audit, which is part of our contract. So you'll see in that first column that's the budget in amounts that we think will be used. And then I put the estimate actual amounts because we still have one more payroll when I was making these. But I just put in those numbers. So the difference you'll see is the last column. The capital project personnel cost came in pretty much where we thought it would be. The admin personnel cost, there was a cost savings to the MDD, there was a tenure employee that had left minir, so those numbers fluctuated a little bit. 10% of my dance cost, those numbers fluctuated a little bit based on the part time hours used. Legal was on, because that's based on contract. And then the technology fees did increase because of the share costs on some of the added technology improvements we had to put in program-wise for security. So this is only a presentation. It's just a transparency item. We'll transfer these funds over to the general, over to the poll cash account tomorrow. Thank you, Lisa. Any questions? So the big thing on the technology's fees was the security upgrades we had to do. Yes, and then we're shared between the four funds. That's kind of how we do everything with technology. It's just over the four funds that share. Okay. All right. Item 7. Discussion and possible action to approve additional funding for the Vision Park Roundabout Improvements Project. Gentlemen, Joseph is out at training, so I'm going to let Ruhol give you any kind of background that you want if you have any questions. It's going to say, well, let the well-dressed man over there address this. Yeah, like I mentioned Ron, we received five bits for this project. Winter Bitter was material stack LLC. We found in a total of $100,000 for this project before MDD did. We just requested to fund the rest to include design on this project. The winter bidder was $98,661. We do have an allowance of $10,000 for this project. So we hope not to use that and we can reimburse to MDD. We hope to have a preconstruction meeting for this project soon as well. Any questions? Just let me know. Any questions, guys? Can you explain the vetting process of the materials to people? Because they're sort of new from what I was reading here, new to us. For the contractor, the winner bidder. So blowering during the ROA on the recommendation of award for this project, they call all the people that work with this contractor before. So they did the diligence of checking their background and all the projects that they've been involved with and they're recommending to go with this contract. We have that work with them before, but I'm volunteering to check all the references. You're comfortable with them? Yes, sir. Okay. And for those new folks, then what are they, what will they be doing there? So the project will be consistent of improving the traffic conditions on the rent above. Right now we're getting a lot of travel with 18 wheelers driving through there and hitting the rocks that we have on the outside of the rent above. So basically what we're going to be doing is just going to be removing those rocks and adding stem and concrete on that area which will make it better driver for those 18 wheelers and safer as well. Okay Do have a motion Motion by Barry and a second by Ted Any further discussion All those in favor hi I Anyone against All those in favor? Aye. Aye. Aye. Any what against? No. Okay. Motion passes. Item 8. Discussion and possible action to ratify accounts payable for August 2024. Do we have motion? to ratify accounts payable for August 2024. Do we have motion? No, that we approve. Accounts payable for August 2024. Motion by Ted, second? Second. OK. OK. All those in favor? Aye. Aye. Anyone against? Motion passes. Directors inquiry. Jim? Well Ted you can go first. Why not? Okay. Joanna? Very. Jim. I wonder if we could get an update from John on Tamanai project that's ongoing where does it stand how are things going whatever. So the Tamanai project overall is going very well. We just got commitments today for two more easements that we needed from two different property owners in Tamanif for lift stations. So we bid the water plant, the water well and the contractor has mobilized, I believe, I know it's staked. And so the construction, if it hasn't started already for the water plant, it'll be mobilizing soon. And got other permits from Lone Star and all that stuff. So we are scheduled to bring to City Council the next round of bids at the second meeting in October. And so we advertised started yesterday right? Yeah. So we divided the project into four groups and four areas but we'll be bidding all four of those at the same time. And so we have to have contracts awarded and in place before the end of the year according to the ARPA Fund federal rules. So we're on schedule to do that. And just a reminder, you know, we have two more years before the construction has to be completed. Actually, October 26th or November. So October. So right now everything's going well. We were able to, by getting these two easements that we got today, the role in Daniel were over there negotiating fiercely on behalf of the city, right? We saved a additional lift station that saved about $750,000. By getting these two easements. So, and that was definitely needed. That was, you know, right now we're projected to be a little over budget, but we'll see how the bids come in in October. Any questions? There are other easements we're waiting on. We have, everybody's agreed to these, but bills were on the commercial side. And so, yeah, we moved one lift station onto city-owned property. So that eliminated the need for one. And then the person that's got DC properties that has about nine acres that we're gonna run right along with. We're making, they've agreed to sign the easement. We actually made a change in the last, what is that last run is what a couple hundred feet. We moved water from one side and sewer on the other to the same side because it's a big ditch and we can save money on the same side. So they're just waiting for us to fix that a last legal description. That was going to be a roadway, and it looks like it's not going to be a roadway anymore. So we were able to put both utilities on the same side. Any other questions? OK. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I didn't have anything other than to say there's no October meeting scheduled at this point our next regularly scheduled meeting will take place in November likely on the 13th that'll be discussed at council meeting today More than like it'll be the 13th, but you know, stay tuned. And just remember that otherwise MDD only meets on council meeting nights, the 4th Wednesday of the month. So, anything else, folks? All right, that meeting's adjourned at 617.
