TO DISC. THE. ONE FOR RAJ. IN THE PA OF GETTING SOME MONEY OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND TO PERCEIVE THAT THERE'S POSSIBILITY THAT WE MAY HAVE SOME OPPORTUNITIES FOR A BIG CALL COMING UP THERE. ROOM. OF ALL BUT WELL. BURY ME. I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE US TO BE IN A POSITION TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT. SHOULD THAT HAPPEN. IN THE PAST, IF I'M GONNA TEST TWO, CERTAINLY WILL BE HAVING THE INTERMENT OF CAMPO FOR SO LONG IF YOU'RE NOT KIND. OF DOWN THE ROAD, AT LEAST THAT 30% MARK YOUR CHANCES OF GETTING FINDING YOUR SLAM UNLESS SOMEBODY THROWS YOU A BONE. WE HAVE A VERY LARGE FUND BALANCE RIGHT NOW. I DON'T NORMALLY ADVOCATE GETTING INTO THE FINE BALANCE, BUT IN THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE THAT'S GONNA BE A HIGH GROWTH AREA. ON. WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET AHEAD OF THE CURVE AND TRY TO PREPARE THE COUNTY. FOR AN EXPANSION. THEY'RE GOING FORWARD, BUT WE WILL HAVE TO BE PRETTY FAR DOWN THE ROAD SHOULD FINDING BECOME AVAILABLE, SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT. WE'LL DISCUSS THAT SOME THE OTHER DAY. I ASKED HIM TO BE HERE TODAY. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR CLARIFICATION AS TO EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 1/2 A $1,000,000 TO GET US TO VERY PERCENT. READY ENGINEERING ENVIRONMENTAL. SO THAT IT FINDING BECOMES AVAILABLE AND IT'S SOUNDING. I'M HEARING MORE AND MORE. IT'S SELLING LIKE THERE WILL BE A GOOD BIT OF FINDING A VEIL. NEAR FUTURE TRANSPORTATION TERMS. THAT'S THAT'S SORT OF LIKE SAYING A GLACIER IS GONNA MOVE IN INCH IS HERE. SO, UH, SO I WOULD LIKE TO. DISCUSS THAT ONE MORE TIME, THE POSSIBILITY OF ADDING THAT INTO THE BUDGET. COMING UP SO THAT WE CAN WE COULD POTENTIALLY GET STARTED GOING DOWN THAT PATH. SO BUT THAT'S IT. COMM. DO YOU? IT? QUIZ? OF ME? HARDER? ARE ABOUT THE FUN? BALANCE? THERE? HOW THAT WOULD IMPACT? OR ANYTHING? THOSE? KIND OF THINGS? YES. GIVES HER. THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT COMMISSIONER.
YES, OR BIRDS SIMILAR, VERY SIMILAR TYPE PROCESS. UM AND ALTHOUGH WHEN YOU GO OUT, YOU PLAN AND YOU PROTECT THESE FUTURE IMPORTANT CORRIDORS IN YOUR COUNTY. IT. DOES. NOW.
MEAN BY ANY RIGHT. THAT YOU HAVE TO GO OUT AND BUILD THE ULTIMATE IMMEDIATELY OR MAKE THAT REQUEST FOR FUNDING. FOR THE ULTIMATE WOW. GET THAT THEN GETS TO BE A DETERMINED BY THE COURT. AND HOW THEY PHASE THAT IN. SOMETHING THAT YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH PERMISSION,
[00:05:06]
TERRY. WHY? I KNOW YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH IT. IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE WORK THAT WE DID IN HAYS COUNTY AND SAM MARCUS AND WIMBERLY. ON RAN. ROAD. 12. IF YOU ARE FOR WITH THAT ROAD IF GOD SHIPS A LONG TIME AGO. BUT IF YOU CALL BEFORE THE WONDER WORLD, DR EXTENSION DAYS YOU. HAVE TO GO. THROUGH. THE MIDDLE. OF SAY. MUCH. LIKE HELL. OUR TAO AND SAY OR DID UH, BACK. IN. THE DAY. UH, CO WITH THE STATE. SIR. OF SIN. MORE. AND FOR, HUH? WHAT WE CALL HOME. RO. THERE. THE ONE. WORLD. HUH? UM MOVE. FOR AND DULL. BILL THE ONE. DRY. WHICH WAS ACT. ONE OF THE FIRM. PASS. THROUGH. FINANCE. DEAL. EVER. DONE. IN THIS STATE. IT WAS, SIR. 1 AND THEN OH, MY. SIR. IT WAS MY PREY. IN THE COUNTY. INTERN. IT. FOE. AGREE WITH STE. ON THE SECTION. OF RAN. ROAD. WELL, WHICH IS ABOUT TO SAY SIZE. IS ONE 40 HERE. FROM SIR. MARCO. WIMBERLY. WE WENT OUT. DID THESE THIS TYPE OF WORK, PRESERVE THE CORRIDOR GOT ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE. AND THEN WE WERE ABLE TO BRING IN UP OF STATE AND LOCAL MONEY. TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT $35 MILLION OVER THE YEARS BECAUSE WE HAD THAT CANVAS THERE THAT WAS ALREADY LAID OUT. AND MADE ALL THOSE SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS YOU SEE ON RETRO 12. TURN LIVES.ACCELERATION. LANE'S SOME PEOPLE GENERALLY CALL IT LIKE A SUPER TOO. AND REALLY MADE THAT ROAD. AH, AH, WHOLE LOT SAFER THAN WHAT IT IS. BUT, HOWEVER, IF HAYES COUNTY IN THE AREA WORKING, YOU NEED TO GROW. THAT ULTIMATE CORRIDOR HAS BEEN PRESERVED. AND THEN YOU JUST KEEP PLUGGING IN. AND KEEP. KEEP MOVING FORWARD. YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESS. YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO OUT FOR RIGHT AWAY. UP. YOU. TOO. THE ALL BEING ADJUSTED. ON THAT ROAD WAY BECAUSE WE HAVE A SET FORMAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS THAT COME ON, HAVE TO, UH, THEY HAVE TO ACCOMMODATE THAT SET. PLAN AS WELL. SO IT'S JUST BEEN A GOOD LONG TERM TOOL. BUT WE DID A LOT OF SHORT TERM IMPROVEMENTS THAT REALLY MADE A DIFFERENCE IN PUBLIC SAFETY. UH I SEE HOW IT WENT FOR YOU TO HEAR VERY SIMILAR. IN FACT, I WON'T BE LONG BEFORE THAT ROADWAY PROBABLY CARRIES EVEN A WHOLE LOT MORE TRAFFIC THAN HENRY. 12. GOING TOO SAY MORE TO WEMBLEY. DID. OR DO, BUT, UH EVERYTHING'S IN STAGES. BUT YOU'VE GOT TO SET THE TABLE IF YOU WILL. START THESE FORMAL PROCESSES IN ORDER TO PRESERVE THE CORRIDOR, AND THEN YOU WERE ABLE TO THEN GO INTO THE COW. STAY. FED. FUNDING WORLD. AND PEACE TOGETHER. LONG. THE ASS. THAT YOU NEED. ORDER. TO HAVE THE HIGH LOW. OF MO. AND SO.
NO. TODAY'S WORLD. JUST. POLLY. SEE? IN A ROW. GO OUT. BILL. ULT. COR! RAY. RAY. DOES. THAT.
HURT. MAY SO. TEA. I'M LIKE A LIE. A HUGH. OR DIE. OR SO. BUT SIR. NOT A ROW. HERE. WELL, A SCOUT COMMISSIONERS AND JUDGE I MEAN EVERYTHING ELSE IS JUST SAUSAGE MAKING IS PUTTING TOGETHER MULTIPLE FUNDING SOURCES. IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH YOUR END RESULT IN YOUR IN YOUR COUNTY. THERE'S NO SILVER BULLET ANYMORE. THERE HASN'T BEEN FOR 20 YEARS. THERE'S NOT ONE SEAT. PROJECT THAT'S BEEN DONE IN TEXAS. OF THE. 20 YEARS THAT HAVE MULTIPLE AGENCIES MULTIPLE FUNDING SOURCES INVOLVED IN ORDER TO, UH UH, DRESS THESE NEEDS IN OUR COMMUNITY. YOUR QUESTION, MS. MATERIAL. THANK COMMISSIONERS. OBVIOUSLY, WE DON'T HAVE TO MAKE A MOTION ANYTHING, BUT I JUST KIND OF SEEKING YOUR APPROVAL. POTENTIALLY PUT THIS IN OR. INTO THE BUDGET, OR IF YOU'RE NOT OKAY WITH IT, YOU KNOW THAT'S FINE, TOO. BUT I NEED TO KNOW SO THAT I COULD GET WITH BAR. AND STOP. TIME. MAKE THESE ADJUSTMENTS. I THINK
[00:10:10]
THIS IS. VERY APPROPRIATE ACTION TO GO AHEAD. OH, AND CONSIDER PUTTING US IN THE BUDGET.ABSOLUTELY. IT. IT'S A THANK YOU AND IT IS. YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THIS IS DATA TO A LOT OF PLANNING. FROM PRE COURT COMMISH. ROLE. CANNON. TO THAT. IT WAS FOR YOU. PHYSICAL STEWARDSHIP, BUT THOSE THAT CAME BEFORE US WE WOULDN'T HAVE A FUND BALANCE LIKE WE DID SO.
I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT IT'S THERE. WE'VE BEEN HELD A GRUDGE GET BIT IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.
SO IT'S ON OPPORTUNITY THAT I THINK WE SHOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE. WAIT. KNOW THAT THERE. A LOT OF GROWTH. HAPPENED AND IT'S COMING. PREPARED IT NOW. YES, NICE PREFER TO BE WAY HAVEN'T RARE. TO GET GET AHEAD OF IT INSTEAD. OF RE. IT. SO THINK YOU. YOU. WOULD BE THREE.
PRESS. SO. I'LL BEGIN. THE WORK. WITH BARB. TOO. FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE THAT. HAPPEN.
WILL YOU QUIT? CLASH? FOR THE END. LENGTH? OF ONE? 40 THE END. OF ONE 40 FROM ITS TERM.
AT ONE. OF THESE TO 2 TERM. TODAY. YES. YES. NOW. DOWN. THE WHY? I SEE. TO AWAY. AT IT. FOR A. 1. 30 30 30. NO. PART THE DEAL. WITH THE CORPS. WELL AND LOOK AT RIGHT AWAY. AND AS YOU WOULD IMAGINE, IT NARROWS QUICKLY AS YOU GET INTO YOUR HISTORIC AREA THERE AND COME THROUGH. THAT'S GOING TO BE UH MAURA OF AH. SIDEWALK CARBON GETTER TYPE SITUATION FOR YOUR FUTURE. JUST A ENHANCEMENT OF WHAT YOU HAVE TODAY. WITHOUT THAT SPECIFIC PORTION. I KNOW THE CITY BEFORE THEY'VE HAD SERIOUS PROBLEMS WERE THE ONE PORTION BETWEEN, UH SPECIFICALLY BETWEEN PROBABLY SANTA'S SENO STREET AND, UH, WORK AGAINST TO MAKE THE TURN WHERE? IS OUT. GOES TO AGAIN? SIR. YES, SIR. THEY'VE HAD PROB. WITH THAT. PORT. WHEN YOU MENSCH. THE ISSUE. WITH RED. 12. GOING THROUGH. SAND. THAT POP IN MY HEAD. BECAUSE I THAT WAS A SIN. SIR. THAT CITY. X. PROBLEMS WITH ON. CREATE A TRAP. MODEL. IN THE AIR. SAFE.
IS WELL, THAT'S WHY I ASKED QUIT. WAS DO YOU KNOW THAT MAKE SENSE. YOU KNOW. WE CAN WE CAN ALSO PART OF THIS. WILL WITH CITY PLANS. ON THE CURRENT ASSET. UM BUT THE MAIN SECTION IN WHICH WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TODAY, COMMISSIONER IS BASICALLY FROM 1 30 TO HIGHWAY.
OKAY, OKAY. AND JUST BOB. WAY A SIDEBAR. MAYOR WHITE HAS EXPRESSED SOME INTEREST.
POSSIBLY YOU KNOW, SADIE GETTING INVOLVED WITH THIS AT SOME POINT FOR THE PORTION THAT ACTUALLY GOES THROUGH SAVING THEM IS PROPER. A LOT OF MOVING PARTS, AND IT WILL BE. ALL RIGHT.
