Description
Metropolitan Planning Organization Policy Committee Meeting, 05/17/2023
A
A
Good
afternoon,
everyone
welcome
to
today's
mpo
policy
committee
meeting.
Today's
date
is
May
17
2023
at
one
approximate
time,
is
1
34.
we're
gonna,
hear
at
the
City
of
Laredo
council
chambers,
one
from
1110
Houston
Street
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
get
the
the
meeting
started,
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
call
a
meeting
to
order,
and
if
we
could
just
get
the
chairperson
a
call
roll.
Please
thank.
D
A
G
A
Motion
seconds
any
opposed
motion
carries
very
well.
Thank
you.
Let's
go
ahead
and
move
on
item
number
three
citizens,
comments
and
I
believe
we
have
three
at
this
point
in
time,
we'll
go
ahead
and
start
with
Miss
meeting,
not
g
montemayor
I
believe
that
you're
allocated
three
minutes
ma'am.
If
you'd
like
for
me
to
read
it
cannot
be
by
proxy
or
anything
like
that.
It'd
have
to
be
our
three
minutes,
so
no
worries.
H
H
So
one
of
the
concerns
that
we
have
in
La
Volta
is
that
we
really
don't
have
a
lot
of
access
in
and
out
to
mind
road.
We
only
have
one
entrance
and
one
exit
which
gives
us
pause
when
there's
issues
with
the
warehouses,
for
example,
if
there's
ever
a
leak
or
some
sort
of
some
sort
of
hazardous
chemical
and
we
would
need
to
exit
it's
very
hard
to
get
out
of
there.
Usually
Mines
Road
is
backed
up
because
of
the
tractor
trailer
traffic
that
is
going
towards
World
Trade
Bridge
every
evening.
H
So
the
tractor
trailers
can
access
I-35
or
The
Loop
without
having
to
block
all
of
Mines
Road,
and
so
we
are
asking
the
the
Commissioner's
Court
and
city
council
to
to
work
on
different
Avenues
to
alleviate
the
traffic
on
Mines
Road,
because
there
are
a
lot
of
homeowners
on
Mines,
Road
there's.
You
know
BS
on
Augustine,
there's,
there's
the
green,
Ranch
and,
of
course
level
of
that,
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
communities
where
people
enjoy
living.
H
But
we
would
like
a
better
access
or
better
traffic
control
on
The,
Mines,
Road
area
and
better
access
to
get
in
and
out
of
Mines
Road
without
having
to
to
face.
You
know
30
minutes
to
45
minutes
stuck
in
traffic
and,
of
course,
there's
always
an
issue.
You
know
God
forbid.
There
should
be
some
emergency
where
you
need
the
ambulance
or
medical
services
to
come
in.
That's
also
an
issue
to
get
in
and
out
of
those
areas.
I
know
that
there's
one
like
can't
remember
the
name
of
it.
H
It's
completely
blocked
off,
there's
no
way
in
and
out
you
have
to
kind
of
go
around.
There's
another
subdivision,
not
ours,
I
can't
remember
the
name
of
it,
and,
and
so
it's
not
just
level
up
that-
has
the
issue
it's
pretty
much
every,
but
every
housing
community
on
Mines
Road
has
issues
with
traffic,
and
so
we
are
asking
for
some
consideration
and
and
try
to
work
with
some
ways
to
get
a
better
flow
through
Mines
Road
area.
Thank.
I
Thank
you
for
the
record.
I
just
wanted
to
come
up
here
and
and
speak
a
little
bit
of
your
executive
session
item
that
you're
you're
bringing
up-
and
this
is
for
your
director.
You
know-
we've
had
a
very
good
relationship,
we're
working
very
well
together.
The
communication
is
there
he's
taken
the
lead
on
bringing
all
the
tech
stock
team
with
the
county
team
to
have
meetings
or
communication
is
doing
a
lot
better,
I'm
very
proud
to
be
working
with
Mr
mandiva.
I
Football
I'll,
let
you
ask
a
question:
his
football
career
graduated
from
Tami.
U
local
University
went
on
to
Ohio
State
to
get
his
planning
degree.
He
has
aicp
certified
and
he
is
doing
a
great
job
for
us.
It's
local
talent,
I'm
I'm.
He
I'm
learning
a
lot
from
him.
He's
he's
showing
me
what
it
is
to
be
a
planner
because,
as
you
all
know,
my
background
is
not
planning
its
development
but
he's
doing
a
wonderful
job
of
of
explaining
the
concepts
and
and
what
we
do
for
a
rental.
I
So
he's
part
of
the
team.
I
hope
the
directorship
is
recognized,
because
it
is
a
very
important
position
when
it
comes
to
City
Laredo.
This
npl
is
very
important
to
us
and
I
just
wanted
to.
Let
you
all
know
that
so
that
maybe
there's
a
little
bit
more
generosity
when
you
all
are
talking
about
Mr
Mandina.
Thank
you
very
much.
J
J
Name
is
James
Arthur
and
I
am
a
HOA
manager
for
La
Volta
for
via
Saint
Augustine,
and
also
for
green
Ranch,
Escondido
and
I'm.
Here
to
talk
to
you
today
about
access
and
River
the
River
Road
Project
I'm,
not
talking
in
regards
to
there's
some
questions
about
the
border
patrol
and
access
there,
but
just
in
general,
all
those
communities
are
needing
help
and
relief
from
the
industrial
traffic
that
is
on
Mines
Road
and
the
possibility
of
having
a
road
at
the
River
Road
at
the
back.
J
That
would
allow
access
for
VSA
for
labotta,
for
and
also
indirectly
with
green
Ranch
area.
That
would
really
bring
a
lot
of
relief
to
those
communities
and
just
like
Marinette
had
mentioned
to
you,
Mrs
montemayor
that
there's
a
emergency
situation
there
with
the
fact
that
of
the
challenge.
If
we
do
have
an
emergency,
if
someone
needs
to
get
in
there
for
Ems
for
fire
for
any
type
of
emergency,
we
just
have
one
entrance
and
exit,
and
that
was
what
was
planned
from
the
beginning.
J
But
the
reality
is,
you
know:
we've
got
these
residential
communities
in
the
middle
of
these
industrial
areas.
So
how
do
we
balance
that
so
we're
trying
to
express
our
concern
as
residents
and
that
are
living
in
industrial
area
that
if
we
could
have
more
roads,
more
accesses
to
the
communities,
this
would
help
the
homeowners
and
that
those
those
roads
would
be
residential.
J
Only
when
it's
appropriate,
so
I
know
that
you
are
working
on
that
and
you've
got
several
projects
that
would
possibly
bring
relief
to
those
communities
and
we'd
really
like
for
you
to
continue
your
efforts
of
developing
roads
and
accesses
to
the
communities
and
and
that's
what
I
came
to
share
with
you
today
on
behalf
of
those
homeowners
and
and
the
communities,
and
thank
you
for
your
efforts
and
that's
all
I
really
have
to
say
today.
So
that's
my
last
statement.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
really
appreciate
being
here.
I
want.
A
To
say,
thank
you
Mr
Arthur,
but
I
have
to
say.
Thank
you
big
al
appreciate
it.
That's
my
nickname
all
right.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
sir
appreciate
you
very
much
all
right.
Let's
move
on
item
number
four
items
requiring
policy.
Committee
Action.
Let's
go
to
for
a
approval
of
minutes
for
the
meeting
held
on
March
22nd
2023..
B
A
B
A
B
Think
we're
good
I'm,
just
gonna.
Be
brief,
hello!
Everyone
thank
you,
so
I'm
just
going
to
go
over
the
the
bylaw
changes
that
are
being
proposed.
I
know
they've
been
discussed
at
the
previous
meeting
in
accordance
with
our
public
participation
plan.
We
require
a
10-day
public
review
in
common
period
to
revise
these
bylaws,
so
we
are
doing
that
here
today,
opening
that
coming
period
again
we're
amending
Article,
2,
Section,
2.1
and
2.2
to
allow
the
chairperson
and
vice
chairperson
to
rotate
every
two
years
between
the
City
of
Laredo,
mayor
and
Webb,
County
Judge.
B
Where
now
I'll
show
you
the
the
bylaw
document,
that's
also
in
your
packet
just
so
you
can
see
the
actual
language
on
that
and
then,
while
we
were
doing
the
review,
we
also
found
that
we
needed
to
make
some
changes
to
our
technical
committee.
Membership
and
I'll
discuss
that
right.
Now
too,
so
it's
a
man,
Article
2
Section
2.3,
to
update
the
technical
committee
membership.
Lastly,
staff
and
the
technical
committee
recommend
initiating
the
10-day
public
review
in
common
period,
so
I'm
going
to
show
you
the.
A
B
So
we're
initiating
the
10-day
common
period
to
to
make
the
changes
to
the
bylaws
based
on
the
language
that
was
recommended
at
the
last
meeting.
That's
right
so
we
approved
the
language.
Then
their
language
has
been
improved.
We're
moving
forward
as
I
had
presented
at
the
last
meeting,
the
timeline
we're
opening
the
the
10-day
comment
period
here
in
May
and
then
in
June
we'll
make
the
final
changes
to
the
bylaws
I.
B
B
E
B
Came
back
with
that
language,
there
was
a
motion
that
was
made
to
allow
the
judge
to
start
after
we
finalize
the
actual
amendments
right.
So
right
now
we're
going
through
the
process
that
we
need
to
go
through
to
make
those
changes.
All
right
can
I
show
you
just
what
we're
doing
here
on
the
bylaws.
So,
as
you
see
we're
striking
out
where
it
says
that
the
City
of
Laredo
mayor
is
the
chairperson
that
membership
list
and
then
also
where
it
says,
County
Judge-
is
the
vice
chairperson.
B
We're
just
writing
out
that
part
we're
making
some
corrections
to
the
just
the
lettering,
and
then
this
is
the
language
that
we've
added,
so
the
chairperson
and
vice
chairperson,
shall
rotate
every
two
years
between
the
City
of
Laredo,
mayor
and
Webb,
County
judge
the
term
of
each
office
shall
begin
the
first
of
January
in
a
number
of
years.
There's
no
limitation
to
the
number
of
terms
each
member
may
serve
as
an
officer.
So
this
is
what
we're
going
back
and
forth
about
it's
going
to
be
one
year.
Is
it
going
to
be
two
year?
B
B
E
K
A
B
B
So
yeah
we're
just
the
responsibility
of
the
chairperson
and
the
vice
chairperson
are
staying
the
same,
we're
just
striking
out
those
places
where
it
specifically
says
that
you
know
the
mayor
of
the
judge
or
the
chair
or
the
vice
chair.
So
those
are
the
changes
for
the
chair
ship,
but
we're
changing
on
the
technical
committee.
We're
just
cleaning
up
a
little
bit
of
the
membership.
In
terms
of
you
know
the
titles,
so
the
South
Texas
Development
Council.
They
used
to
have
a
regional
planning
director.
B
They
no
longer
have
the
position,
so
they've
advised
us.
So
we
could.
Please
have
the
executive
director
serve
as
a
representative,
so
we're
making
that
change
and
then
we're
also
adding
a
seat
for
the
RMA.
The
Webb
County
city
of
regional
Mobility,
Authority
representative,
so
just
feel
in
its
right,
since
this
are
for
also
Regional
Representatives.
So
just
one
it's.
K
The
right
time
to
do
that
sure
judge
may
I
do
that.
Yes,
please
yeah!
We,
the
RMA,
has
attended
I,
believe
every
technical
committee
meeting
since
I've
been
the
the
chair
in
November
2019
and
we've
just
never.
It's
been
kind
of
an
unofficial
capacity,
but
I
think
we
generally
lend
a
decent
amount
to
the
meeting
and
participate
in
dialogue
and
have
a
good
familiarity
with
the
projects
of
the
Empire,
the
city
and
the
counties
that
we
try
and
I
thought
it'd
be
nice
to
have
our
name
added
to
actually
be.
There
is
so.
B
And
the
last
thing
was
just
cleaning
up.
The
Laredo
Community
College
represent
everything
just
to
reflect
the
new
name,
Laredo
College.
So
we
did
a
review
of
the
entire
bylaws
just
to
make
any
changes
that
were
necessary,
but
other
than
that.
Those
were
the
only
changes
again
today.
We're
opening
the
10-day
coming
period
and
we'll
come
back
for
the
final
one
in
June,
or
we
have
a
special
meeting
before
that.
So
after
the
10-day
common
period.
B
The
way
I
was
here,
we
would
finalize
the
bylaws
at
that
meeting.
So
then,
after
that
action
happens,
then
you'd
become
the
chair
after
that
meeting,
but
you
would
show
the
July
meeting
so
I
would
we
can
make
it
effective
after
that
meeting,
but
then
the
next
meeting
would
be
July
or
we
have
a
special
meeting
after
that
meeting,
then
you'd
be
able
to
take
over
the
chair
position
at
that
time.
B
B
B
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Let's
move
on
to
the
Island
C,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
discussing
with
possible
action
on
a
motion
to
approve
the
fourth
version
of
the
Laredo
Transit
Management
Inc,
ltmi,
public
transportation
agency
safety
plan,
T
ptasp
and
safety
performance
targets
for
calendar
year
2023
and
to
incorporate
into
the
Metropolitan
planning
process.
B
Thank
you
judge.
This
comes
before
you
every
year.
It's
a
requirement,
Federal
requirement
that
an
FDA
has
required
of
Transit
agencies
to
provide
the
safety
plan.
It's
already
been
adopted
by
the
mass
transit
board
on
April
17
2023.
The
mpo's
role
here
is
that
we
need
to
incorporate
it
into
a
planning
process.
That's
why
it's
being
presented
here
before
you
today,
so.
A
L
We
are
currently
working
on
the
utility,
relocation,
Plan
and
there's
a
schematic.
That's
already
been
submitted
to
Tech
stock,
along
with
the
pot
holding
plan
and
that's
on
schedule.
As
far
as
the
property
acquisition,
our
real
estate
division
continues
to
work
with
all
the
property
owners
we
received
one
or
two
appraisals.
Already
the
rest
of
the
appraisals
were
expected
to
receive
by
Friday
from
there
it's
a
two-week
period
for
a
third
party
to
review
the
appraisals
before
we
begin
closing
out
on
these
on
these
properties.
L
So
at
this
point,
I
can
report
that
I,
don't
foresee
anything
that
I
need
to
report.
That
would
cause
a
delay
on
this
project
that
at
least
as
of
now
and
we've
been
constant
coordination
with
TxDOT
or
consult.
A
utility
consultant
has
been
in
constant
communication
with
their
Consultants.
As
far
as
a
project
is
concerned,.
G
G
L
L
E
L
Have
a
table
that
we're,
following
like
I,
said
the
next
step
after
Fridays
that
we
received
the
appraisals
when
they're
due
there's
a
two-week
period
for
the
third
party
review.
After
that,
the
offering
the
offer
letters
I
don't
have
an
exact
date
again,
we're
working
as
we
go
with
with
as
part
of
the
process
and
we're
following
all
the
textile
requirements.
L
Me
prepare
yes,
let
me
prepare
something
for
you
and
provide
it
as
part
of
your
package
for
the
next
meeting.
So
it's
a
it's
a
little
bit
more
detail,
but
again
right
right
now
we're
moving
as
fast
as
we
can.
We,
we
have
a
a
timeline
that
we're
working
with
and
we're
staying
on
schedule
with
with
TxDOT
again
to
make
sure
there's
no
delays
on
this.
G
D
Judge
Matt.
Yes,
please
so
just
I
guess
a
comment
right:
the
right
now
the
project
is
set
up
for
an
April,
letting
we're
always
we're
always
looking
at
opportunities
to
to
accelerate
the
project
and,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
a
week
from
tomorrow,
our
Transportation
Commission
is
going
to
be
passing
the
minute
order
for
to
bring
a
child
within
your
own
system.
L
L
E
D
M
Duncan
for
text
just
wanted
to
update
you
that
the
plan
development
and
everything
is
already
ongoing.
We
have
our
60
set
of
plans
coming
to
us
at
the
end
of
June.
So
that's
right
on
schedule.
For
us,
we
have
our
environmental
process
that's
moving
forward.
We
have
a
virtual
public
hearing
that
we'll
be
having
on
June
15th
with
an
opportunity
for
for
in-person.
M
If
anyone
wishes
to
have
that
that
one
is
very
scripted,
so
it's
just
you
know
formal
presentation
that
comes
on
and
we
have
the
Barbara
faskin
Rec
Center,
where
we're
having
it
in
the
evening
lasting
our
environmental
clearance
with
that
date
would
be
the
end
of
August
early
September.
Because
of
the
the
comment
periods
and
similar
fashion
to
how
we
do
our
mpos.
There
is
some
some
timelines
that
we
have
to
follow.
So
that's
the
target
date
that
we
have
for
environmental
hurts.
B
However,
the
minute
orders
can
be
presented
for
the
HR
item,
so
I
know
this
morning,
I
was
still
seeing
the
looking
at
the
Texas
Transportation
Commission.
The
agenda
hadn't
been
posted,
I
know,
I
was
asking
Mr
Gonzalez
about
that
I
think
you
confirmed
that
it
is
going
to
be
on
the
next
meeting
correct.
B
B
I
mean
we
could
send
someone.
I
know
you
mentioned
that
it's
just
pretty
much
almost
consent
agenda
type
item,
I
know
in
my
director's
report.
I
was
going
to
mention
that
in
June
there's
going
to
be
a
meeting
to
discuss
the
UTP
where
the
funding
gets
discussed
so
I
know
we're
trying
to
Target
go
out
going
up
for
that
meeting,
but
I
mean
we
could
also
go
up
for
the
main
meeting
as
well.
Next
Thursday,
there's
no
issue
with
that.
G
A
Okay,
let's
move
on
this
item
I'm,
the
one
that
asked
it
to
be
on
here,
discuss
with
a
possible
action
for
the
U.S
Customs
and
Border
Patrol
protection
proposed
Road
along
the
Rio
Grande,
as
it
relates
the
River,
Road,
Project
and
other
future
Mobility
projects
in
this
region.
Obviously,
you've
figured
or
found
out
this
would
happen
on
Monday's
city
council
meeting
I'm,
not
sure
it's
the
same
thing
that
we're
talking
about
here,
I,
don't
think
it's
the
same.
I
think
this
is
just
a
River
Road
Project,
that's
always
been
here
and
they're.
A
Just
asking
I
I
thought
for
a
while
I
thought
it
was
talking
about
the
same,
but
no.
This
is
completely
very,
very
different.
This
is
already
there
and
it's
just
a
matter
of
how
we
could
make
it
work
and
so
I
don't
know
if
you
all
want
to
table
this
for
Customs
and
Border
Patrol,
maybe
to
come
back
to
us
and
talk
to
us
because
all
they're
looking
for
is
for
help
to
be
able
to
patrol
a
little
bit
better.
They
reached
out
to
me
and
that's
basically,
the
road.
That's
already
there.
N
N
N
And
it's
an
existing
Road,
it's
not
intended
for
any
access
other
than
pedestrian
and
cycling,
so
it
wouldn't
be
any
motorized
vehicles.
It
would
just
be
border
patrol
that
would
be
allowed
to
have
motorized
vehicles
on
that
road.
It
I
believe
it's
separate
from
the
River
Road,
which,
if
I
understand
correctly,
is
in
district
7,
primarily
yeah.
A
A
G
But
this
one
in
the
River
Road
that
we're
talking
about
constructing
through
the
RMA
study
would
actually
be
for
vehicular
traffic
and
not
just
patrolling,
but
it
would
kind
of
serve
both
purposes
if
border
patrol
could
use
it.
So
when
we
were
talking
about
this
back,
then
we
were
talking
about
putting
it
as
close
to
the
river
as
possible
to
kind
of
address
some
of
these
line
of
sight
issues
that
they
have
I.
Don't
know
what
the
alignment
looks
like
right
now,
because
I
don't
think
the
RMA
is
ready
to
present
it.
G
Yet,
but
Congressman
cuella
came
to
a
town
hall,
Mr
Brown
was
there
and
a
lot
of
us
were
there,
and
he
did
say
that
if
this
was
a
project
that
we
were
committed
to,
that,
he
would
help
with
funding
on
it
and
so
I,
don't
know
what
pockets
of
funding
he'd
be
able
to
get,
but
I
think
that
if
we
were
to
kind
of
use
it
as
having
Mobility
along
the
riverbank,
it
might
open
him
up
for
other
pockets
of
funding.
So
I
could
see
how
it
might
be
related
in
that
sense.
G
G
F
K
F
K
K
Six
different
alignments
were
studied
and
that
there's
two
highest
scoring
recommended
alignments
that
will
come
back
in
and
be
presented
to
the
mpo,
but
they
don't
fall
along
the
River's
Edge
necessarily
there's
places
it
gets
close,
but
it's
for
a
little
bit
further
in
the
recommended
alignments
and
that's
a
paved
dedicated
public
right
of
way,
Road
versus
a
road
that
may
be
der
caliche
stuff
of
that
nature,
closer
to
the
to
the
River's
Edge.
So
there's
similar
name
and
distance,
but
they're
two
different
projects.
A
Okay,
well,
I
do
know
that
the
Customs
or
the
border
patrol
were
trying
to
be
here
today,
but
they
just
they
couldn't
make
it
so
I
guess
we
just
tabled
it
for
the
future.
Okay,
very
good
motion.
Second,
any
opposed
tabled
very
good.
Let's
move
on
reports
and
presentations
and
no
action
required.
Let's
go
ahead
and
start
with
the
status
report
by
the
regional,
the
RMA.
K
Yes,
you're
in
your
packet
you'll
find
descriptions
of
10
projects
that
have
been
active.
The
good
news
is,
is
approximately
five
of
them
are
wrapping
up,
so
that
allows
us
to
really
focus
on
a
little
bit
narrower
scope,
but
they're
big
projects.
It
would
be
biaseo
safe
streets
for
all
the
Concord
extension
and
a
portion
of
Springfield.
Those
would
be
kind
of
our
Focus
going
forward
and
they're
all
really
important
for
our
community
we're
going
to
be
working
on
those
real
hard
now
and
and
in
the
upcoming
months.
K
A
B
He
worked
for
mental
for
23
years
in
planning
operations,
project
management,
public
relations
and
grant
writing
and
he
served
as
a
representative
of
Metro
on
the
mpo
technical
committee
for
many
years
we're
trying
to
pin
down
exactly
when
it
started.
We
found
some
documents
from
2008
where
he
had
already
been
serving
on
the
mpo
technical
committee.
That's
mostly
his
entire
time
at
Metro.
He's
actually
been
involved
with
the
mpo
one
way
or
another.
So
we're
glad
to
have
him
join
our
team
and
we're
looking
forward
to
his
contributions.
B
Also
I
did
have
the
report
about
the
next
Transportation
Commission
meeting.
It's
going
to
be
on
May
25th
2023.,
it's
right
now.
I
was
checking
to
see
if
the
agenda's
there,
yet
it
still
hasn't,
been
posted,
but
yes,
May
25th.
So
that's
next
Thursday.
Yes,
the
draft
list
of
projects
for
the
2024
unified
Transportation
program.
B
So
you
could
also
watch
them
if
you're
not
able
to
attend
the
Texas
border
trade
advisory
committee
meeting
was
held
in
Laredo
on
April
20th,
2023
I
know
several
of
you
were
there
in
attendance,
the
mpo
staff
was
there.
We
know
we
had
technical
policy
members
there.
Basically,
the
Board
of
Trade
advisory
committee
provides
a
forum
for
the
exchange
of
communications
between
the
Texas
Transportation
Commission
TxDOT,
the
governor
and
committee
members
representing
border
trade
interests.
The
next
meeting
is
scheduled
in
the
Rio
Grande
Valley
on
August
22nd
2023.
B
We
are
planning
to
attend
some
staff.
Members
I
know
people
from
the
city
also
there's
other
members
that
are
interested
in
attending.
You
know,
please
do
a
lot
of
snow
and
we
can
make
arrangements
for
that
also
on
May
2nd
2023.
Our
staff
met
with
our
fhwa
representative
Mr
Kurt
falver
during
an
informal
visit,
so
he
was
actually
a
new
Eagle
Pass,
because
Eagle
Pass
is
actually
going
to
have
an
mpo
now
because
they've
surpassed
the
50
000
threshold.
B
So
now
they
aren't
mandated
to
have
an
mpo
I
was
in
attendance
in
a
virtual
meeting
where
they're
talking
about
that
with
the
Texas
district
and
fhwa
FTA
about
starting
the
NPO
I
did
invite
the
people
from
Eagle
Pass
to
come
down,
and
you
know
visit
us
in
Laredo,
so
we
can
make
show
them.
You
know
how
the
MPR
Works,
when
Mr
father
reached
out,
and
he
wanted
to
visit
us
after
his
stay
in
Eagle
Pass.
So
he
came
down
you
met
with
him
and
Masada
said
was
also
there.
B
We
just
went
over
projects,
activities
that
are
ongoing.
Also
I
know
some
of
you
were
at
her
bike
month,
Proclamation
so
right
now
may
is
National
Bike
month
and
the
City
of
Laredo,
the
mpo
active
Transportation
committee.
We
held
a
proclamation
ceremony
on
May
3rd
and
we
proclaimed
may
as
National
Bike
month
in
Laredo.
Again,
this
is
aligned
with
the
mpl's
mission
and
the
efforts
of
our
active
Transportation
committee.
So
we
continue
to
advocate
for
Save,
accessible
and
Alternate
modes
of
transportation
and
then,
lastly,
just
the
upcoming
regularly
scheduled
meetings.
B
G
B
K
A
Only
that
said,
let's
move
on
executive
session.
The
policy
committee
reserves
a
right
to
adjourn
into
executive
session
at
any
time
during
the
course
of
its
meeting
to
discuss
any
posted
agenda
item
blah
blah
requests
for
executive
session.
Regarding
personal
matters,
pursuant
to
Texas
government
code,
section
55
1.074
to
establish
the
annual
salary
amount
for
the
full-time
mpo
director
return
to
open
session
for
possible
action
at
any
of
the
matters
incident
there
too.
So
you're
wanting
to
go
into
executive
session,
sir,
yes,
very
good.
Moving
into
executive
session
the
approximate
time
it's
two
motion
seconds.
A
Back
from
executive
session,
the
approximate
time
is
235,
there
was
no
action
taken,
there
was
no
action
taken
in
the
back
and
once
again,
for
the
last
time
there
was
no
action
taken
in
the
back.
There
was
a
tough
crowd
in
the
back
Mrs
council
member
Vanessa.
Pettis's
kids
were
back
there
and
I
will
tell
you
that
they
were
they
voted
and
it
was
not
in.
A
The
motion
I
have
a
second
and
that's
why
I
said
it
was
good
news
and
bad
news.
The
good
news
is
that
this
body's
seems
like
it's
voting
for
what
you're
wanting
for
any
other
questions
comments.
Any
opposed
motion
carries
so
do
we
need
to
go
ahead
and
publicly
say
what
you're
going
to
be
making
that
way.
You
can
go
ahead
and
yeah.
You
can
put
that
on.
G
G
A
N
A
B
F
B
N
E
On
35
on
the
new
Branch,
it's
going
there
just
by
Shiloh
and
on
the
southbound
side,
I,
don't
know
it
seems
to
be
like
some
waves
in
that
concrete,
and
then
you
see
these
trucks,
they
start
rocking
them
over.
So
if
you're
on
the
inside
Lane,
it
starts
pushing
you
out,
can
that
be
repaired?
Or
is
that
just
so.
D
So
that
we've
we've
certainly
noticed
that
and
we've
gotten
with
a
contractor
right
now,
since,
since
we
have
traffic
occupying
that
that
portion
of
the
bridge
we
we
can't
do
that,
but
once
we
switch
over
then
we'll
have
an
opportunity
to
go
in
there
and
grind
some
of
them.
Yes
grind
some
of
that.
Some
of
that
bridge
there.
