the council meeting March 11th 2025 at 6.30 p.m. You would all rise for the invocation of the Pledge of Relations. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, thank you for bringing us together tonight, Lord. Thank you for this nation. As we're about to say in the pledge, one nation under God Lord, let us never forget that this is one nation under God. This is where our founding fathers brought it all together Lord, and we just thank you for the blessings that you've given this nation. We thank you for a representative government that we get to be part of Lord. We thank you that we get to be here today as the voice of the people and go through the items on this agenda, Lord, we pray for wisdom and guidance as we go through and that it will always be about the community and never about us up here, Lord. We just thank you so much for the blessings you brought to our life, Lord. We thank you for, thank you mostly for sending your son to die for our sins that through our faith we can be with you forever in heaven, which thank you so much. And please bless this evening and blessed the liberation that we go through. Jesus name, amen. Amen. What do you lead in Jesus? To the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. All right, thank you, Councilman. We will now move into agenda item number two. This is our public comments section. Mr. Dill. First is Michael Clark. Mr. McLear, do you take the lectern please? Good evening. Mike Clark to 17 blue Mary. Mayor council, thank y'all for your time on this. Really, it just comes down to, there are really two items on the agenda that really are a discussion that the light there at McDonald in 550, I think is well overdue. I know that this is gonna be a letter of support to tech stop on that. I would strongly encourage to try and work up front with tech stop in what I mean by that is to actually see if they can go ahead because a lot of times we'll do matching funds and see if they can build out what it eventually is going to be. And that's going to be a divided spoiling. So if we can have turnout lanes already put in place, it's going to be Donald, going to Rav Ridge, it's going to mitigate a lot of the back up from just a single light, you know, somebody's trying to turn. So it's just thinking a little bit ahead on that. We worked with in my community. We worked with TechStock to actually put a turnout line. And that helped mitigate us slowing down traffic on Ridge Road as we turned into our community. Other communities, they didn't work or they didn't have that opportunity, but we made sure when we gave up our life and to have that turnout. And it made it a lot easier and safer for people turning in. That's the primary thing there. So if we can get on front as we're doing the letter of support and start that conversation with them, I think we're going to be a step ahead and actually building it out to what it eventually will be. When we know that's going to be a thoroughfare, if you will, you know, no matter how hard we want to look at and go, please, No, we're not growing like that. It's going to but if we do it right first time the other thing is the It's going to, but if we do it right first time. The other thing is the, it's not really any contention, but the North Texas municipal water district, that situation that's gonna be discussed in executive session. I have every faith and confidence in each and every one of you. And what I mean by that is negotiating the proper deal and not setting precedence by which, you know, it looks or appears as though we've rolled over or anything like that. I know that each and every one of you are doing the very best that we can for this city when it comes to water comes to litigation, have stayed anything like that. So that's where I have confidence in strength and yield. So thank you. Thank you, Mr. McGlart. Mr. Del. Next we have David Murray. Mr. Murray. Thank you. It's a pleasure to be here. I did the E. Galt and Yacht community. And thank you for introducing the water topic. So I just, if you could just state your address. So yes, one of six Natalie caught. I believe I have a new idea for a substantive solution for the war's problem. My understanding is, and I've met with Rich and I've met with Brian Creed and there seems to be some agreement that we have an idea here. My understanding is, during, like right now, the winter, we're using about two million gallons per day, which pretty quickly goes up to about six million gallons per day when we hit the warmer weather. And I believe we can agree that the majority of that is due to irrigation. So we're looking at 4 million gallons a day due to irrigation. Now the irrigation are sprinkles that go through the air. It's agreed and in fact, Heath Council has quite a bit of documentation on drip pipes that say 50% of the water, but all of the drip pipes are in like flower beds. So if you go to that Tom Thumb, you look at the flybed just in the drip pipes. Nobody's ever really talked about putting the drip pipes in the grass in the lawn. And I've been working with Shane Hayes, who runs the Gulf Coast, that is the head of a colony. And we've actually built a couple of common areas where we've put grass seeds and we've grown the grass seeds with drip pipes. It's a 50% reduction in the amounts of water. It's actually, could be more, but that's just, that's be conserved. So my conservative numbers are, if we're, if we're using four million gallons a day to cost of irrigation, and we can save 50%. So let's say a thousand homes deploy this, and obviously there's a project to do that which I'll come to in a minute but if a thousand homes could reduce that we would say the half a million gallons per day of reduction as opposed to I know you're looking at building wells and so forth which is increasing the supply. So I believe this is a viable project in terms of reducing the usage. Now it's not so easy. You've got to think these pipes, they're plastic. You connect it up to the existing sprinkler system. You just don't use the overground ones, you just putting it through the ground. I'm a contractor and we developed how to put these pipes in with minimal damage to the to the lawn. It's about a day's work. The end of the day you'll see a very fine line about every four feet and that line will disappear in two or three weeks as the grass rose and you know certainly a month later nobody knows it's the cost of this, we're looking at right now, there's something like $2500 for a 3000 square foot yard, which is a common area. It reminds about 3000 square feet. I believe I can get that cost down, but let's just use that number for now. The homeowner would pay for this in a couple of years with the reduced usage. So, you know, reduces water, it's good for the homeowner, good for the environment. And I'm suggesting a program, and I mentioned this to Rich, that if I've already got a couple of people interested in doing it, we're starting to work on a couple of those. I'm doing it in my own yard. I've already got it. Just some extent done, that anybody can come and take a look. What is really nothing to see is the whole idea. But my suggestion is if there was any funds to kind of kickstart this program where we could approach people in the neighborhood and say that the city would contribute, say $1,000. And if we could find 10 people to kickstart this program, we'll look city to pay the consumer and then, you know, I just think this would be a great opportunity. Will people do this? Let's get this started. And then after that, we could take it up to a high level to get to, I would say the goal would be a quarter of the, I think there's a 4,000 resonances in the, in the, so that's kind of the proposal. I like to call this. I'd like to ask the question, when was the wheel invented? Obviously thousands of years ago. When was the suitcase invented? A couple of hundred years ago. Why did it take us to the 1990s to put a wheel on the suitcase? So we've had drip pipes. We've been doing this. We just now have to think, let's put the wheel on the suitcase, put the drip pipes in. I'm also talking to a couple of developers, builders, new constructions easy. You just need to put the pipe in it's easy. The challenge is a retro fitting where you have existing. But there's no reason why we shouldn't be talking to, they're already putting sprinkler systems in. It literally is a very straightforward job to run some drip pipes at the same time and some bulk. So, let's about it. Very well. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Mr. Delph? Sure. Next we have Ashley Krause. Thank you, Ms. Krause. Good, so we know that when he asked when the wheel was invented, he looked right at me. I don't remember his good point. Sorry. I didn't do. You dismissed it. Oh, yes. That's actually going on. So, aftercross, 121 Drogory Dry. I just wanted to quickly say that I have I listened to the city council minutes on line whenever they're posted and every single one that I've heard especially over the last year I've heard cries for help that of people who live on by Rapid Range, 550 intersections are cleaned for us now. I know that we've said, you know, that we have tried. I know that the city has tried and I just with all of this support now, with everything being able to come together and use this moment to really drive that home, I think that would be amazing because we do want our citizens safer and I actually drove by there to bed and trying to come out from robotics to stone leave or that that wall is I was scared and I'm not usually the scared driver. So I get what they're saying I couldn't imagine how to do that consistently so I just would be like speaking support of that. As far as The person who reflects this goes, they just echoes kind of what they're saying. I couldn't imagine how funny they do that consistently. So I just would be like speaking support of that. As far as North Texas goes, I just echoed kind of what Mike had said where I trust the counsel that you don't want to be in litigation where it was to be over. I also trust that we realized that we had this kind of issue come across the table with document setting across it. And I just hope that we can come to something good, conclude doing it. Like, like I said, where it works out, we can end this, but in a way that we don't roll over. So as long as we aren't letting this set of very dangerous testing, I just, I just really do not know how to address you guys. And thank you. Thank you. Very well. Thank you, Miss Adele. Sure, our last person to speak is Cheryl Scott. Okay. Miss Scott. You signed up for attendance. Thank you. Thank you for being. I would like to announce that Cheryl Scott is here tonight. It's our blood. Okay, wonderful. Any other public comments? This is Del. Anyway, else. Okay, wonderful. Okay, moving into agenda item number three. This is our city manager comments section and council comments to miss Adele. Sure, I have five quick announcements first, which regard to fire flow, the Fireflow Improvement Program that we accelerated last summer. It was originally a 10-year timeline, and we were able to compress that to five years without a tax impact on the citizens. That project is moving along. Improvements have already been made to Antibu Bay and Cov Ridge. And the third project is Dar State's, and that one is underway. We are installing the DARA waterline in the Hubbard Drive right away and the right away is tight in some locations. So of course we always appreciate patients with those crews over the next few weeks. The next one is about the DPS station. This one is also moving along the request for qualifications for design services closed yesterday. We received eight submittals and we're evaluating those to move along with the selection process. AMI, the Smart Meter replacement program continues and phase three starts this week. I mean, it's phase two, starts this week. We have an exciting bit of activity going on out in front of City Hall right now and that is a path project, a City Hall beautification program that is thanks to a very generous donor. You might have noticed this work taking place. It's part of the beautification plan that is being overseen by the Path Parks and Trails of Teeth Fundraising Program. The exterior work is including an upgraded monument sign enhanced hardscape at the parking entrances, landscaping and a sidewalk, connecting the sidewalk in front of the Amy Parks elementary pathway to the Town Center trail, Park Trail. And inside, as you can smell, we have, we're excited about fresh paint in this room in the main lobby in the public works building department for you and in the restrooms so thank you path for the hard work on that and if you are interested in learning more about how to contribute to the city's path program parks trails and beautification initiative you can do that on our website and and I think we have a slide. No, we don't. Please go to our website, just type in path and you'll get right to it. Finally, connecting with you. We want to remind you of our new emergency and customer service systems. Text my gov, since texts as needed to phone numbers that we have on file with your utility bill, to be sure that you receive notices on this on your preferred mobile phone in your household, please text Keith to this number 91896. And from that device, you just reply yes to confirm and you'll be off to the races. This would include notices like water being turned off for a repair as was necessary yesterday. And also for locally controlled emergency alerts like severe weather, you can text 75032 our zip code to the following number. 888777. Of course, our goal is to continue to... So, we have a number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the So I was invited to go down and testify this morning in Austin for the Council for local governments and government interaction with state governments as well. And the agenda they had set up and the chair of the program was Cecil Bell and the vice chair was Aaron swiner. And they had local cities, municipalities, and elected officials come and speak on the impact of current legislation on local municipalities and how they might be able to work with our state representatives to help coalesce some of the things going on so that we can get out in front of it, which we're not right now just because of the season that we're in, but kind of want to go forward basis. And I brought a couple of things forward, and I'll release sort of my comments so that they can be pushed out as well. But the things that I really talked about were the preservation of local zoning control and the catastrophic impact that it would have. And you know, that was echoed by almost every person that stepped forward today. And in that room, we're also people that are proponents of removing local zoning. People like the representative from Paris County, right, and some of the larger cities, et cetera. So there's a need to be some openness for that. And I think that one of the happy memories is that there's been what's called gravity. So, a civil built-in team, we've been talking about here, kind of on the pitch for a while. It basically said, we're going to require a new focus on the story, because we've been often dealing with something than that's going to be doing. So I think that some of the feedback that's happened here over the last few months has that a lot of other impact. Because right now, Citadel could be used as a way that maybe is that it only applies to humanism. All of these that are greater than 90,000 people and counties that are greater than 300,000? So while that's kind of a state of execution, I think for right now, the concern I think I have is that it's the first step down a slippery slope. So once that basically gets in place, it makes it easier and easier to kind of take bites of that apple in a overtime. But with the energy I want I want to have you that's behind it, it may be one of the only pieces of recourse we have between now and May when these things were voted on. The second thing I talked about was mud and mud rights. While we have a few in our E.T.J., the Clinton Shism has more and Royce City has infinitely more that could have kind of a catastrophic population bomb and impact here on our entire region. And we talked about things like making sure that the months of vote in the districts in which they are represented, that municipalities have the ability to impose impact fees and do some future planning for things like schools, water roads, you know, basically you name it kind of along the path as well. And that for any bond measures and taxation measures that are that are passed, that local municipalities can play a role in the discussion up front before these things kind of go to a vote in the very clandestine way in which there are arranged right now. So there seems to be some energy around that, but the challenge that I think that the legislature is going to have this term is that there's easily 50 or 55 different mud builds. There's no one comprehensive mud build that captures kind of all these things. So it's tough to tick and tie and kind of draw the line and connect all these things together. So one of the asks was for them to roll this up and present and put together a comprehensive mud build. But I think we and other cities that could be impacted by this have something basically to react to. So, at least from from a committee level the committee seems at least open to looking at and entertaining things like this but I think one of the comments I made in our last meeting is we may need to work you know next term two years ahead of when the legislative session is so that we can really direct water on the stone and where a group that have an impact before these cities go to committee where we have very little chance of making a change. So I was appreciative of having the ability to kind of go down and at least share some thoughts and some opinions on that. It was great to hear some like-minded elected officials in other counties kind of around the state and also hear some feedback from the people that were on the dius, their ethical committee level that was all from the house side. Very good. Thank you, Councilman. Any other council comments? Questions? Yes, Jim? What's Bill, is it that our county judge has been in the 50 to 85. So 2038 is being looked at and Senate built 509. It's been worked, yeah, 509 and 2038, which was passed last time. Okay. So yeah, both of those are being, or being worked on. Thank you. Very good. Any other comments, Council? Very well. I would echo that to the audience and anybody that listens to these online, we want to continue to encourage our residents to make sure that our voices heard at the state level, and make sure that our city is specifically being represented as it pertains to a number of items but zoning specifically and as well as mods I can also tell you Councilman that I've been working with. You've probably seen a lot of letters coming out of the county, a lot of mayors. We're staying in lockstep, continuous communication. We've had multiple meetings. We have it now. It's every other week to discuss things that are happening at state level and making sure that we are prepared for what's going on. I can't tell you to that judge knew is working on that mud reform and working on a bill's language and something that we met in our last meeting to go over that language together to try to ensure that, you know, as they go through TCEQ approval that they would actually have to come to the county. And so we are, we are as a county-wide all talking about the problems and talking about what should and could be in a bill to see some actual reform. So that is actually something that's been been hard at work and a number of different layers working with them with the instrument. Yeah, on that. Talk about the bracketing Sharon and you and I talked about this a lot just with regards to sort of what size of the city sort of gets the ability for local zoning oversight to be removed. They're also looking to do the same thing for the ADU bill that's kind of going through as well. So we're trying to bracket that so that at least for the short term, we have the ability to pull some forces together and figure out what a future state looks like. But again, I have the same concern about bracketing now, as I did on the SB 15 bill in that it's just the first step down to the Green Slow. But again, with the horse being kind of out of the barn and these things already in committee, we that need the air best option forward. Yeah, agreed. Agreed. And we're all in agreement on these items, or I we all are. We've talked about this a number of times. The ADU for the audiences here are ancillary dwelling units so that does create an opportunity to where if somebody does have an ancillary dwelling unit, they can actually rent out that property on your property. therefore taking your single family residential dwelling to a multi-family. So it is of concern and we need to continue to communicate with state about that share concern and keeping the integrity of the city. Let me also move on quickly to echo what Mr. Del said. Huge thank you on the record to our donors. We've had two major donors. One is enhancing our Towns a park, which is amazing. And then also we're in a repainted beautiful room, even though we're we're snipping on the fumes. But we're definitely living the dream to have a donor that said, Hey, I want to get back to the city and do something big. And then we're going to see more of that being done outside to include. I'm very excited that hopefully this is all done for election season. So when you guys are standing out there, you may have some sidewalks to stand on. So as you're holding your signs, you may actually have some additional sidewalks. So it'll be nice. Well, you scared me. I thought you were gonna say that it was gonna be a good answer to that, you out there. So much sorry. We fight through the ants. What was that? I said you scared me. I thought you were saying somebody's gonna put up a statue. You out there. No! Yeah, so we fight through the ants. What was that? I said you scared me. I thought you were saying somebody's going to put up a statue. Are you out there? No. No. No. In fact, I even tried to get away from the picture of the wall. Frankly, all right. Very well. No statues at all. My wife wouldn't live here after that. All right. Very good. Moving into agenda item number four. This are consent agenda 4.8, actually regarding the minutes of our February 25th, 2025 regular meeting. I believe everybody's had an opportunity to read those minutes. So at this time, the chair will open the floor to entertain a motion. Make a motion we approve. Okay. We have a motion by Councilman Kraus. Do we have a second? Second. We have a second by Councilman Weaver. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Those opposed. Passes unanimously. Thank you, Council. Really into items for individual consideration 5.8 discussion and action regarding the resolution nominating a representative to the Rockwell Central Prasal District Board of Directors. Miss Adon. Thank you. will district water directors, Miss Adel. Thank you. So currently there is one place on the Rockwell Academy board of directors that will be vacated place eight, which is currently held by Richard Pence. So the board is soliciting nominations from member cities. And we are bringing before you tonight two candidates for your consideration. The first is Candice Gillespie and Joe Ruskevic. Rich Kepke, who currently serves on our ARCHAT board, is nominating Joe Ruskevic, who currently serves the City of Heave on our Planning and Zoning Commission. Norma reached out to Joe firm that he is interested in the position. Norma also pulled citizens who applied for city boards and one applicant volunteered, Candice Gillespie. Candice has been a Heath resident for six years. She has a background in highway and street construction and design and agriculture. And one of her references is Mike Rusk, who's a member of our Planning and Zoning Commission as well. So two recommended candidates for your consideration. Very well. Council, do you have any questions for staff? So I think we discussed this before, but we weren't sure that we had concerns from the nominees, because why we're back. Correct. Yeah, that's why I was so. Yeah. So we've gotten that out for you. Cool thanks. So it is my understanding that our nominee has the slot over in a pile of other people and somebody. We're in the running with other candidates and the board selects. Well anybody appears I served on planning his own good job for years. He's always prepared. He's a shot guy. Okay. Very good. Yeah, I would echo that I mean, I've watched Joe on PNZ now for. Geez, maybe six years. Yes, thereabouts. very objective, very rock solid, like, like, like, your mission always prepared always always, you know, carrying the best interest of the citizens. And also sharp and good with numbers. So, you know, you can really understand the mathematics of what our cad math. The Arcad Maths The Arcad math. The little strings sometimes. I echo Britain, Sharon's. OK. All right. There are no other further questions for staff or comments. Then the chair will open the floor to entertain a motion. I think we could put floor Joe. OK. We have a motion on the floor for Joe and can you say his last one for me? I can try. I always think I say it wrong. Risk it. It's wrong. Yeah, it's gross. It's gross. It's. There you go. Don't look at the spelling. It has a strong detail. It's nice. I said you. I always get nervous when there's a seat. Just find an absolute far. Very good. So we do have a motion on the floor by Council of Coal. Well, do we have a second? We have a second by Councilman Rufo. So the motion moves. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Those opposed. That's unanimously. Thank you. Okay. Moving into agenda item five dot me discussion and action was already resolution of support for Texas Department of Transportation to install a street light at 550 and rabbit Ridge with Donald road. So, thank you. This is not a very long resolution. So, I'm just going to read the resolution in its entirety and then be able to answer any questions that you all might have. So, this is a resolution of the City Council of... the resolution in its entirety and then be able to answer any questions that you all might have. So this is a resolution of the City Council of the City of Keith, Texas supporting the Texas Department of Transportation, performing a warrant study and installing a traffic signal at the intersection of FM 550, McDonald Road and Rabbit Ridge Road in Heath, Texas. Whereas the City of if he is now home to more than 10,385 citizens and is still growing within its 12.5 square miles. And whereas the Heath City Council has received testimony in open meetings and individually spoken with many Seat citizens, expressing grave concerns about the safety of the intersection of FM 550, McDonald Road and Rabbit Ridge Road. And requesting requesting the City of Heath do everything within its power to improve the traffic conditions and whereas growth within the City of Heath and McClendon Chisholm in the last three years has caused the traffic volume to rise on FM 550 McDonald Road and Rabbit Ridge and more than 205 undeveloped residential lots are plotted within the he city limits that will directly impact these roadways and this intersection. And whereas development in the city of McClendon Chisholm and its extraterritorial jurisdiction will add at least 1,914 homes on as many residential lots and recently flooded subdivisions that will directly impact these roadways and this intersection. And whereas between January 1st, 2022 and March 7th, 2025, there were 11 accidents at this intersection. I'm catching a typo right there. intersection eight of these are classified as major accidents that at the time of the call, the caller indicated that someone was potentially injured. And whereas the Heath Department of Public Safety reports increasing traffic at this location, especially during the morning and afternoon commute hours, and the potential for more serious accidents due to the increasing usage and the the blind curve and hill on each side of the intersection. And finally, whereas because FM 550 is a Texas Department of Transportation roadway, text.nix decisions about improvements such as adding a traffic signal. So now therefore, they are resolved by the city council of the city of Heath, Texas, that it is the will of the Heath City Council for the Heath staff and city representatives to pursue all means available to the city to influence text.desc. to perform a warrant study with the media see to improve this important intersection of FM 550 McDonald Road and Rabbit Ridge with a traffic signal and the Heath City Council urges text.to take all actions necessary to complete the construction of a traffic signal at this intersection. Very well, thank you, Mr. Dell. And as many people have heard, I know this council has heard for the audience. We've talked about this a number of times, talked about the past application, talked about the need for a new application and staying on this. And also for the writer who would like to say thanks to our past Texas State rep, Justin Holland, for his collaboration and his putting forward a letter to text out as well. Because ultimately, putting politics aside for this is absolutely necessary, no matter how you do about any politician, I'm going going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be accidents and then eight of them being major is a big deal for our city and so I see no reason that the council obviously won't support this resolution but at this time we will open it up for any collecting some discussion so council at this, do you have any questions for staff or any discussion points? I think it's significant. You put those numbers together and that's about half the houses that are in the east today. So that's a significant increase. So this is absolutely now. It took us a long time to get to light, you know, over a governor in certain seven four years. Sure. You know, these things you have to keep asking and asking for the studies, you do hope with this time will work and they don't work quickly either. So. It's not a fast. So we need to stay steadfast and ready to continue to agree with this thing. mayor pro-chim crosses point. I read the Adams did submit a letter to text. In 2022 requesting a state study and a warrant study. Text. Very good. Council, any other discussion or questions? Council, please. So we've reduced the speed limit there. But honestly, the cars are not slowing down. I know as I drive through there, cars in general, they keep moving at a similar rate of speed. And while we've only had 11 accidents, I know personally, I've had with the blind nature of that intersection, I've had many people pull out right in front of me there. And it definitely is a dangerous spot. So I mean, definitely, I'm absolutely in favor of putting a light there. I think that's also a good marker to let people, as a reminder for people that know you are entering an area that you need to drive slower. But we've had to, Rich's point, we've tried for these lights like at governors. And I think we also were asking for one down by school. But it's hard to get these through. And I applaud anybody just in and whenever else has sent letters in, is there anything else that we can do to try to push this forward to reduce the timeline and improve the potential of it actually coming to fruition? So I think what you hold on. What's that Councilman Dodson? To that question, that'd be a missed-created question? Yeah, that's absolutely Brian. So you mind taking the lectern? Good morning, Councilman. So the question you wanted, is there anything we can do to facilitate this to be faster? Well, you are in luck on this study and this is right. I scored it in 22 and they only value the request once over three years. So we're in the third year, you can request again. It was found to be unwarranted for the speed of it. I don't think we got the data on this until December of 24 from the request. I've never done an interlocutor or with with text not to have a lot, where the city funds like that, but we could. I know we did it. We did it on beltline in the skeet where a lot was found to be unwarranted and in that moment we had to self-funding that completely and they also did not maintain it. So we had to agree to take on the maintenance of it even though it wasn't on our maintained area. Yeah, very well. That's going to work on. If that's something you all want to entertain, we need to be, we have to cost steps a bit on there. So it can be expensive, a little bit expensive for a city or a size. We don't have traffic technicians, we don't have boom trucks or anything like that, so we'd have to farm that out. Typically, when I had to do a lot of retirement, or you have to have those done by engineers, and then have somebody out, it was about $4,000 per event. If nothing's wrong. And to play it. Oh, to deploy the lot. A lot of this size would be 300,000 or $1,000. So we had to run electricity to it too. I don't know how many are by the electricity. And if you're going to do lanes, so you're talking probably for a whole intersection about a million dollars. Yes, I would not be, I would not be afraid of that number. I wouldn't be. Well, he doesn't mean from a budgetary standpoint. He means from a from the side. So in any kind of lane additions you do have to do it, if you do text.standards and often they excavate the feet and bring that up. We did 352, I don't know if you're familiar with 352 right here coming out of the skinny. We had to excavate 10 feet, 10 feet down to bring what was Collins Road, because through text about standards. Okay. All right. So just to recap. So we're at year three, so we can resubmit to ask them to put in a traffic. Right. But you know what month they've asked, I guess she said mid 22. So if we're following their policies and you know, they're not doing any favors, then we would be mid 25. We can resubmit an ask for a new study to warrant it. The last day was found to be unwarranted. And they're looking for traffic speeds. They're looking for traffic volumes. So they would look at volume. They would look at crash data. When they talked about how many major minor accidents in relation to how much traffic and also they look at the 85% dial on your speed to how to adjust the speed to where they feel minute. I think the 50 miles an hour is probably going to help you guys a little bit if people when they do the new study and they demonstrate that they're already going over the 55 by this amount that drives you around if I percentile up because people are still running 70 year whatever it is. Yeah, also look at line of sight from the intersection? And they can. Yes, they'll take a study of what's actually on the ground and how far you can see. Absolutely breaking distance and things like that. Okay. They do. So how do they factor in future development this on the books? So we're speaking of 200 ish lots in heave, which is South London, the Donald road, and then 1900 lots, of course, in the big explosion of the climate chism, that are not on the ground, but they are planted. So, I'll go back. So I see is if, with, in relation.roes, and I'm under the burden of Mr. Del on this, because she's in planning, but is text.ro will require a traffic study be done for any large development that would impact that nearby road. Now whether or not they're having horizon lakes to do a traffic study before they build a bunch of houses or not, I don't have the information. Yeah, does those truck the impact analyses typically are for the access to the development. Right. And I don't I don't believe that they've reached this far beyond. For instance, the horizon lakes, which was only the trilogy development is a distance from from this intersection. And so I don't I don't know that it would have. Yeah, that's my fear. Yeah. They're not going to, rightfully, or appropriately, consider what's coming. You know, we all know it's coming. And so we're trying to get ahead of it. Let's prevent it before it. You know, that's our approach. But my fear is that they're going to disregard that because it's not on the ground those cars aren't driving that road yet. So. It's sorry. I think it'd be hurtful to supply the information to the engineers making that discussion. Right. Right. So, yeah. That's a bit of something I'm going to go through. So think about that. Is it typical that tech start in these kind of situations is more reactive than proactive when it comes to rights? There is just a behind this is every other government agency. There's no, only seven years. Yeah. All they need really support from the local government factor in that in this, you know, not unanimous, but they need majority support kind of that on this bench. They need engagement with the professional services from staff. And we need to utilize our electric representative on Commissioner's Court because they do have more frequent access to the folks at text.to help us carry the water on this. And I think what was mentioned before since since there's no land speed record set on anything that happens with text. To be very candid and we know as I think Mike said and I agree with this, that the pitch is coming with regards to increase traffic on 550, it's not a matter of us getting more traffic. It's when can we get something that can support that? Knowing that it takes seven to 10 years to get us a fix in place from the day that you start, even if you have support, it may make sense to try to bundle those two things together with a 1A and a 1B. But to do that, I think we're going to have to engage the citizens as stonely, because I know that there is some significant discourse with regards to lack of support for widening of 550, even though the traffic is intolerable now and will become even more intolerable in the next eight to 10 years. Okay, very good. Any further questions for staff? Yes, actually. The 11 crashes, where are they in time? First application, so I'm going to defer to chief Siri. I believe that these accidents are pretty evenly spread out, but you have the doubt. It's a significant. I'm bringing the data that was. Yeah, it's. The. The. The letter. Okay. So, is there a factor and that's the boat that we are. Who can answer this question? It would appear to me that text doesn't want dead bodies even though you said there's a percentile which kind of made people on far off. They're going to look at the total number driven versus the total number of accidents. So do they look at paper like we think tickets on people? If we have a problem they're going to put the meter down and it's going to click how fast they're. But if our police department is writing an inordinate number of tickets for people who are driving like maniacs and not yielding, does that have a way? I don't know if that's normally supply, but I don't see what would have heard. But I think their traffic studies what they're going to rely on. They're going to put out their traffic studies. going to watch their speeds are going to set this out. What this out. What is the encryption doll doing? It may have been, I mean, it doesn't sound like it. The day of the encryption doll was doing 50 miles an hour, and that's why they reduced the speed. But I didn't see the study, and I'm not sure what the dolls were on that. I mean, I think, sharing the answer is they have a fairly Yeah, regimented, yeah, exactly. I mean, it's a cookbook equation that they go by now. That being said, like Scott pointed out, being the squeaky will can't hurt. So. Well, I just, when I was working in California, we had a whole lot of people dying in one intersection. It did have a craft supply, but it didn't seem to slow people off when they got off the tent. And so that city contractively sure if to have motorcops and all those tickets helped them change the cycle to slow them down. So there were several lights. So by the time they got up by the courthouse they weren't killing people and it was a revenue bill or not that we were after the revenue. We were after less than an audience. So I didn't know if we became more focused on enforcement in that area where we're going. They're not speeding. Look at this. He killed out a truck of a farm. He had to go into the ditch to keep from hitting people. The speed factor, I get it, and I do know that their robotons, when it comes to their little, I mean, just look at it our roadway right now. All of these things, the 80, the 30, the 66, were different times, but they're done now, so they want to do them all now so that we can't get in or out of here. So I get that, but dead bodies get attention. And I don't want any more dead bodies. I'd rather bug them with paper to where they hate us. And they're just shut us up. And you guys are not surprised at bugging people until they want is my calling. All right. Not not. You know, on this is is the data, you're going to need to follow. Okay. You're saying mid year, I mean, when can we not sure if they're going to follow policy strictly, they're going to make us make it with mid year before we request a new study. But I mean, putting in their request now, they may say, well, we're not going to start it. I mean, obviously, it's not the other one when we get the data back to like 24. It was September of 22, so it would be September at 25. Okay, but no harm in pushing that process. Yeah, I mean, it's going to make it work very good. So if you all engage with Commissioner Lithio about that, I have no. Yeah. Y'all should. Okay. To Brian's point, it will require a multi-prong approach to try to accomplish something because as Brian was mentioning the warrant along the traffic count, I'm not sure that we're going to get there. The traffic volumes on these two roadways are quite a lot less than what we are experiencing out here. And it took us a while to get the signal that we have out here in front of City Halls. It will take. But it doesn't exist. No, no, no, no, no. To me to wait three years. I know that three, I mean, three years is the point. Yeah, we're not going. Let's get off. Let's get to point. We're going to have to do it again in three years. Yeah, we're going to let this shit and nobody's waiting three years. So, okay, All right, all right. Any other questions? Very well. Let's go ahead. The chair will open the floor to entertain a motion. I don't see any reason we wouldn't approve this resolution. I think a motion to approve the resolution. To the to text dot to install a street street light and FM 550 and rabbit ridge McDonald road intersection. Very well. Second, we have a motion on the floor to accept the resolution in support. We have a second by Browns. Yeah, okay. Mayor, Mayor, Mayor, Pro Tem, what I'm out here. So Councilman Kraus, and then all of those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. As opposed? As is unanimously. All right. We do. We're being in to agenda item number six. This is our executive session. And according to the Texas government code chapter 551, sub chapter D, the city council will recess an executive session. This is a closed meeting to discuss the following, six.a, section 551.071. Consultation with the attorney on a matter in which the duty of the attorney to the government, a lot of the text, disciplinary rules of professional conduct of the state board of Texas, clearly conflicts with this chapter regarding city manager position 6.b, section 551.071, consultation with the attorney regarding pending or contemplated litigation or settlement, offer regarding North Texas Municipal Water District versus the City of Heath, cause number 1-2-2-0704, and then agenda item 6.c, section 551.074, deliberation regarding the appointment evaluation, reassignment duties, discipline, or dismissal of a public officer, or employee regarding the city manager position. At this time, we are now in executive session at 7.19. You're good. All right, agenda item number seven, reconvene into open session at 8.17. In accordance with Texas government code chapter 551, the city council will reconvene into regular session to consider action consider action if any on matters discussed in executive session. There are no actions at this time. So agenda item number eight, we are adjourned at 817. Thank you everybody for being here.
