A
Meetings
yeah
the
minutes
of
july
20th
2022..
Yes,
there's
a
motion
seconded
by.
E
F
A
Okay,
as
amended
okay
on
yours,
yeah,
the
same
okay,
so
call
for
the
question
was
in
favor,
say:
aye
aye,
any
opposed,
not
word
motion
carries.
Of
course
we
approve
the
minutes
and
also
yes,
the
amendment
to
you
know
to
excuse
those
persons
that
president
next
item
was
a
discussion
with
possible
election
on
gap,
funding
for
the
vaccio
road
project
and
any
other
matters
incident
there
too,
and
then
this
I
I
request
it
because
there's
there's
there's
been
ongoing.
A
Apparently,
judge
wants
to
move
on
to
possible
action
on
gaap
funding,
but
we
haven't
identified
the
funding
13.
F
A
F
A
D
I'd
like
to
discuss
so
I
know
that
we
have
this
project
that
we've
been
working
on
and
I
think
what
we're
looking
for
is
to
allocate
category
7
funds
for
this
project,
because
there's
a
funding
gap
that
we
have
to
try
to
make
up
and
in
exchange.
I
think
we're
hearing
that
there
could
be
a
potential
for
some
extra
investment
from
tech
stock.
Is
that
something
that
textile
is
willing
to
speak
on
quickly?.
A
G
Sure
I
think
the
question
in
mind
here
is
the
upcoming
utp
that
granted
in
essence
about
81
million
of
mpo
category
seven
dollars
of
which,
up
to
fiscal
year,
24
is
committed
to
the
child
right.
A
Yeah
hold
your
thought,
and
now
we
have
chelsea
gonzalez
also
here
with
us.
Thank
you,
commission.
Yes,.
G
Go
ahead,
okay,
so
what
it
looks
like
is
that
we
have
the
current
draft
utp
that
allocated
currently
about
81
million
dollars
of
category
7
npo
dollars
for
the
region
of
which
up
to
fiscal
year,
24
are
committed
to
the
routine
drug
child
project.
That
is
estimated
at
52
53
million
dollars
to
let
this
coming
august.
G
D
I
may
I
just
I,
I
don't
mind
finding
advice,
even
in
fact
I'm
all
in
favor
of
it,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
that
we
have
multiple
projects
that
we
have
to
deal
with.
At
the
same
time,
we
don't
have
just
one
area
of
traffic
that
we're
dealing
with.
I
know
council
member
perez
is
not
here
right
now,
but
there's
a
river
road
that
we've
been
trying
to
work
on
for
quite
some
time
that
we're
not.
D
We
don't
have
the
necessary
funds
at
all
to
start
creating
and
we
have
a
lot
of
traffic
on
mines,
road
and
although
this
is
one
project
that
can
help
river
road
is
another
project
that
can
help.
In
addition,
there's
issues
that
we're
facing
on
the
northeast
side
of
I-35
as
well.
Specifically,
we
have.
We
have
access
problems
coming
out
of
some
of
the
warehouses
that
are
occurring
that
are
currently
located
on
the
northeast
side
of
the
of
the
of
the
loop
against.
E
D
And
the
loop-
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
tie
up
all
our
monies
into
one
project,
because
if
we
do
that,
I
think
we're
just
going
to
be
kicking
the
can
down
the
road
on
a
lot
of
problems.
So
we
have
to
be
creative
with
how
we
use
our
funds.
We
can't
just
you
know.
We
we've
already
spent
in
this
northwest
portion.
We've
already
spent
now
upwards
of,
I
guess:
60
million
dollars
of
cat
seven
funds
for
hacha
ruthie
jerry.
D
If
we're
gonna
put
another,
you
know
20
million
dollars
into
this
area
and
what
about
the
rest
of
the
city?
Because
we're
dealing
with
a
lot
of
issues
and
not
just
18
wheelers
we're
dealing
with
people
that
live
in
this
area
in
the
northwest
part
of
the
town
that
have
no
access
to
get
out.
And
so
I
I
think
it's
important
that
we
look
at
multiple
projects
and
see
what
works,
because
I
do
think
that
this
river
road
project
is
an
incredibly
important
project
for
not
just
commercial
but
also
for
residential
traffic.
A
Doctor
before
you
begin
yeah,
let
me
just
say
that
the
vanessa
pettis
is
not
with
us
councilmember
pettin's,
mayor.
B
B
I
think
the
action
that
you
all
would
want
to
take
today
is,
if
so,
what
years
of
funding
you'd
want
to
program
towards
this
and
how
much
correct
and
then
also
just
so,
you
all
are
aware:
if
that's
your
intent
to
program
cat
seven
dollars
for
viaceo
road,
then
we
would
need
to
come
back
with
the
tip
amendments
to
be
able
to
add
them
to
the
tip
to
program
that
as
well.
Just
so,
you
all
are
aware.
Okay,.
A
I
Mayor,
I
can
also
have
a
few
comments.
You
echo
or
just
spin
off
a
little
bit
of
council
member
martin.
A
Okay,
yeah,
let
me
let
me
just
have
some
questions
and
then
you
you
can
ask
yours,
and
then
we
can.
You
know,
because
I
know
he
raised
some
issues.
The
the
point
I
was
trying
to
raise
is
is
that
when
we
had
that
conversation
there
textile,
apparently
mr
williams,
who's
the
ceo.
I
guess
you
know
chief
executive
director,
executive
director
of
textile
yeah.
He
he
also
did
mention
that
textile
was
very
much
willing
and
and
wanting
to
to
also
help
us
with
the
overpass.
A
You
know
not
only
the
viaceo
but
also
the
overpass,
and
that
and
that
grabbed
my
attention
right
quickly
and-
and
I
think
you
had
a
conversation
with
them-
that
that
solidify
that
or
or
they
yes,
sir
willing
to
commit
to
those
funds.
H
As
well,
jed
brown,
chair
of
the
rma
for
the
record
mayor,
judge
members
of
the
mpo,
there's,
obviously
a
lot
of
discussion
that
could
happen
on
this.
My
conversations
with
the
governor's
office,
I'm
an
appointee
of
the
governor.
The
governor
happens
to
appoint
the
texas
transportation
commissioners
who
hires
mark
williams,
so
it's
a
big
circle
of
people
that
communicate
with
one
another.
H
A
Will
you
hold
your
thought
when
you
say
after
a
chat
is
fully
funded,
see
that
raises
a
big
question:
there's
overruns,
usually
there's
always
overruns,
so
we're
willing,
you
know
we
would
have
to
at
least
make
sure
that
the
entire
ruthinger
is
completed,
and
that
also
means-
and
I
would
ask
mr
salazar-
does-
that
also
include
the
overpass,
the
great
separation
on
on
35
as
well
and
also
on
the
mines
road,
mr
salazardino,
because
if
not
I
mean
that's,
that's
really.
The
entire
child
ruthing
you're,
correct.
G
G
J
Somewhere,
I
guess,
but
can
I
can?
I
answer
your
question
if
I
can
david
a
little
bit,
so
I
think
what
the
mayor
is
asking,
because
I
think
you
recall
from
about
two
minutes
ago.
We
talked
about
that
right.
The
funds
we
have
right
now
were
to
construct
an
overpass
at
written
durachar
within
tech
side
right
away.
J
The
funds
we
have
allocated
so
far,
which
is
about
53
million
of
cat7
for
char
root,
ninja,
that
is,
for
a
divided
highway
right
that
is
going
to
be
in
the
future,
can
be
interstate
standards.
But
it's
going
to
connect
at
great
at
1472
and
35..
What
texas
is
doing
is
we
are
actually
the
consultant
on
board
we're
having
them
already
connect
or
design
the
elevated
connection
for
a
char
root,
injury
right
to
the
overpass,
but
that
what
mr
zadow
was
talking
about
that
part
is
not
funded
yet
right.
G
If
I
made
two
keep
in
mind
that
this
within
our
chat
is
phased
out
work,
this
is
going
to
be
two
lanes
of
traffic
in
the
future.
We've
be
looking
at
foreign
dividing
with
photographs
on
the
other
side,
so
this
is
the
first
phase
of
that
leg.
No.
A
What
I'm
trying
to
do
is
is
be
aware
of
all
these
issues
before
we
we
we
come
up
with.
D
A
Yeah
but
that's
moving
slow
right
and
since
you
raised
that
issue,
what's
what's
causing
the
hold
up
there,
mr
sullivan,
how.
G
Much
money
are
you
needing
for
real.
I
don't
have
a
checkbook
on
me,
but
I
can
tell
you
right
now
that
the
draft
utp
for
this
year,
2023
at
loma's
estude
overpass,
which
we
estimated
at
30
million,
has
put
aside
category
two
23
million
209
000
for
that
loma
zoo
project,
leaving
a
gap
of
seven
million
dollars
for
lomas.
A
Make
sure
that
there's
an
overpass
yeah
and
I
think
council
member
rodriguez
also
has
some
monies
available
there,
that
we
can
apply
for
design
or
yeah
any
part
of
that
that
complex
you.
F
If
you
don't
mind,
mr
mandiva,
that
seven
million
dollars
that
you
need
I'd
like
to
see
an
action
item
for
the
next
agenda
sure
on
here,
because
that
way
this
this
body
could
take
in
consideration
of
cat
seven
dollars
for
that
loma
zazur,
because
it's
really
important
down
there
in
the
south.
If
you
can
get
7
million
and
then
he
could
multiply
that
by
whatever
it's
going
to
be
that's
going
to
be
another
great
opportunity,
you
can.
B
Bring
that
action
item
judge
I
just
want
to
explain
you
know.
I
know,
there's
always
many
of
cap
seven
dollars
what
we're
doing
we're
waiting
to
see.
Achar
ruthinger
but
estimate
come
out
right
and
we're
also
developing
a
process
of
policy
going
forward
to
make
sure
that
when
we
allocate
this
these
funds
that
we
have
a
process
right.
So
if
there's
an
entity
requesting
these
funds
that
there's
a
formal
process
for
that,
because
that
doesn't
exist.
B
B
So
we
have
the
charter
rules
insured
through
2023
in
the
utp.
They
do
funding
targets
for
10
years,
but
up
to
65
million.
That's
what's
remaining,
that's
through
2032
remaining
after
what
we
have
estimated
for
richard
ruthenger.
So
those
are
funding
targets
on
the
utp
so
that
we
can
use
that
to
program.
But
again
you
know.
If
we
just
bring
an
action
item,
then
we
there's
that
risk
that
we
put
all
that
money
towards
another
project.
So
we
wanted
to
give
you
all
a
complete
picture
to
make
sure
okay,
what
other
projects
we
have?
A
E
D
That's
why
we
went
through
the
process
of
ranking
and
that's
why
we
went
through
the
process
of
understanding
what
was
what
were
the
priorities
of
the
policy
committee
of
the
rma?
What
was
the
what,
and
so
I
think
we
just
have
to
be
systematic
and
use
our
our
monies
in
the
way
that
we
ranked
our
needs
right,
and
so
I
I
I
think,
viaceo
came
up
what
second
yeah.
H
Something
like
that,
it
wasn't
the
top.
We
have
the
resolution
that
that
says
it's
the
highest
priority,
the
highest
priority
and
and
the
the
last
rankings
the
survey
monkey
rankings.
I
think
a
lot
of
that
seeing
that
south
laredo
ranked
so
high
is
because
we,
the
rma,
also
feel
so
strongly
about
it.
H
If
I
had
my
druthers
and
I
don't
have
a
vote
like
you
all
up
there,
I
would
love
to
see
value
seo
in
line
right
after
a
char,
followed
by
the
lomas
dosor
overpass,
if
they're
seven
million
dollars
lacking.
That's
where
I'd
like
to
personally
see
it
go,
but
I
don't
have
a
vote,
but
I.
A
F
Let's
just
do
it
one
year,
13
million
dollars
on
table
and
you're
willing
to
do
it
overpass
for
us,
so
it's
going
to
cost
around
45
to
50
million.
To
me,
that's
why
that's
why
I
motioned
it
right
away
because
it's
a
no-brainer,
that's
just
my
opinion,
colleagues,
and
I'm
just
looking
at
it
like
that.
Yeah.
G
Mayor,
if
I
could,
I
need
to
clarify
some
things.
First
and
foremost,
this
letter
that
came
through
tech
stock
usually
abstains
from
voting
on
category
seven
npo
dollars
on
this
allocation
of
13
million
to
the
rma.
We
we
will
be
voting
in
support
of
that
item
based
on
the
fact
that
the
executive
director
and
the
transgression
commission
chairman,
I
have
so
elected,
to
support
this
project.
So
we
will
be
voting
that
for
the
support
of
npo
dollars
through
brazil
roadway.
G
The
other
clarification
I
do
want
to
make,
and
I
think
we
seem
to
get
lost
the
letter
from
bruce
bug.
The
sherman
clearly
states
that
textile
is
willing
to
immediately
begin
planning
and
design
efforts
for
the
project,
which
is
the
overpass
of
35
and
will
work
with
you
to
pursue
future
funding
opportunities
for
its
delivery.
G
A
A
G
Now
I
will
tell
you
mayor
if
it
can
ease
your
mind
a
little
bit
more.
The
probability
of
getting
state
funds
for
a
project
on
system
on
35
is
a
lot
higher
than
a
project
off
system.
So
while
we
will
work
to
secure
those
funds,
the
probability
is
higher
that
we
will
get
state
funds
for
that
will
pass
at
45.
H
Okay,
there's
a
sentence
in
the
letter
that
chairman
bug
signed
and
it's
with
the
commitment
from
the
region
when
it
starts
off.
Txdot
is
willing.
They
want
to
see
the
action
that's
taken
today.
They
want
to
make
sure
that
that
that
the
commitments
there
judge
to
the
point.
This
is
a
framework
for
financing.
It's
not
set
in
stone
something
that
david
and
I
spoke
about
we're
asking
for
the
for
two
years
and
there's
a
reason
we're
asking
for
two
years
where
we
have
four
million
we.
H
They
show
us
that
every
single
penny
that
we
were
allocated
be
applied
to
the
project.
We
have
some
of
that
money
committed
to
projects
all
around
town,
specifically
that
we
we
want
to.
We've
already
been
working
with
the
city
on
the
concord
hills
project.
We
want
to
allocate
money
against
that
over
a
million
dollars,
the
concord
hills
extension
parallel
to
cuatro
vientos
we've
worked
with
the
city
on
springfield.
We
think
there's
more
money
going
into
that.
We
want
to
complete
a
project.
We've
started
with
the
county.
H
F
H
F
If
I
ask
this
question
now
that
we're
we're
out
this,
may
yes,
sir,
as
far
as
engineering
fees
I
mean,
are
we?
What
are
we
looking
at
there
yeah
that
and
that's
a
good
point.
I
I
I'm
for
this
project,
I'm
just
now.
You
know
me,
I'm
always
about
consultants
and
about
engineering
fees,
I'm
always
pushing.
H
It
I
I
pay
them
too,
and
I
don't
like
having
to
pay
too
much,
and
I
appreciate
david
gave
me
a
heads
up
on
this,
and-
and
so
I
asked
because
I
wanted
to
break
down
too,
to
be
prepared
to
visit
with
you
all.
What's
customary
is
something
in
the
range
of
ten
percent
against
schematics
environmental
design
psne.
H
H
It's
it's
about
18,
instead
of
10,
but
again
it's
it's.
I
can
read
out
everything.
That's
here
that
adds
up
to
it.
There
are
things
that
txdot
doesn't
have
to
pay
for
textile
would
typically
have
administrative
costs
and
and
cost
of
financing
built
into
their
numbers.
18
percent
of
the
third
chief,
I
don't
know
of
the
total
cost
of
the
price.
H
H
Construction
cost,
which
is
sorry,
three
point.
Four
million.
It's
it's!
That's
that's
the
number
one
thing
we're
looking
at
that
constitutes
the
about
18.
That
david
had
called
me
about.
There's
another
number
I
got
to
throw
out,
though
too
seven
percent
of
that
number
is
already
built
into
construction.
If
you're,
with
text
off
the
construction,
the
materials
testing,
we
have
to
show
that
as
a
soft
cost
on
the
site,
we
could
have
lumped
it
in
with
construction
and
it
would
be
on
the
other
side,
but
it's
it's
in
the
18.
H
G
If
I
could
make
yeah,
mr
salazar,
maybe
you
can
come
back
if
I
can
make
a
statement
here
so
this
these
aren't
additional
textile
dollars,
even
though
they're
state
dollars
they're,
actually
mpo
category
seven
dollars.
These
are
your
dollars
where
the
13
million
is
coming
from
the
these.
G
For
the
next
10
years,
we're
averaging
about
eight
million
dollars
of
npr
dollars.
What
mr
mark
williams
has
committed
to
mr
brown
and
myself
is
that
he's
willing
to
expedite
two
years
ago?
Accelerate
him
instead
of
having
to
wait
three
four
years
down
the
road
he's
willing
to
accelerate.
H
H
H
The
two
years
we're
asking
for
sorry:
we
can
they
text
out,
we'll
move
them
up,
so
we
can
get
them
out.
We
don't
have
to
wait
till
25
26..
We
can
get
them
right
away.
E
L
L
You
know
with
achar
ruthinger,
where
we're
just
waiting
for
tech
stop
basically
to
be
able
to
accommodate
that
project
in
a
year
from
now,
but
we
were
only
missing
like
that
6
million
or
so
that
we
had
kind
of
already
had
this
discussion
about
a
year
ago
or
so,
and
so,
if
we
wait,
then
everything
else
is
just
going
to
continue
to
bottleneck
and
backlog
and
laredo
I
mean
I
just
want
to
kind
of
throw
it
out
there
that
you
know
we
are
the
largest
inland
port
and
we
do
very
well,
despite
all
the
bottlenecks
and
the
congestion.
L
I
just
read
an
article
two
days
ago
in
the
business
journal:
san
antonio,
that's
talking
about
a
650
million
dollar
investment
in
corpus
and
at
the
end
of
the
article
it
says
quote
what
san
antonio
corpus,
christi
and
laredo
a
major
and
lampport
are
creating
is
a
quote
fantastic
triangle
of
global
commerce,
and
so
I
just
kind
of
want
to
throw
that
out.
There
is
that
you
know
we're
we're
having
trouble.
Keep
we're
gonna
have
trouble
at
some
point
keeping
up
with
this
triangle.
L
If
you
will,
if
we
wait
for
one
project
before
we
start
another
one
or
we
wait
for
another
one,
and
I
understand
the
the
hesitancy
to
start
all
these
different
projects,
and
but
at
the
same
time
you
know
we,
our
region,
especially
the
area
by
the
trade
bridges
is,
is,
is
dying
for
relief
and
by
ceo
is
a
is.
Some
is
a
low-hanging
fruit.
It's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
get
something
going.
At
least
I
mean
if
you
look
at
the
connectivity
from
mines
road
to
35,
you
only
have
kilum,
which
is
congested.
L
You
have
the
loop,
which
is
very
very
close
to
the
world
trade
which
gets
you
know
full
of
18
wheelers,
all
the
time,
we're
at
the
mercy
of
the
mexican
systems
if
they
tear
down
or
if
they
break
down
or
if
they're
having
issues
you
know,
we
all
see
it
on
our
end
and
then
other
than
that
you
have
to
go
all
the
way
up
to
255,
so
there's
no
really
in
between
and
until
hachar
ruthinger
starts,
even
with
that,
it's
still
very
far
up.
Viaceo
would
give
that
other
artery
like.
L
I
think
it
would
be
wise
of
us
to
wait
for
the
ruthendra
to
let,
but
at
the
same
time
get
this
by
seo
going.
So
we
can
kind
of
have
those
two
arterials
going
more
or
less
in
tandem
with
each
other,
but
then
at
the
same
time
accommodate
the
project
in
the
south,
and
so
I
think
that's
something
that
us
as
mpo
can
put
into
motion
and
say
you
know,
even
though
we
ranked
all
the
projects,
these
are
the
ones
that
we
are
going
to
make
sure
happen
like
as
soon
as
possible.
L
G
We're
waiting
on
the
last
fiscal
year,
23
in
pure
dollars,
seven
million
dollars,
so
we
could
take
a
letting
august
of
23.
we're
expecting
overalls,
like
you
mentioned
on
it
that
are
going
to
have
to
be
covered.
Let
me
ask
you
this:
how
soon
could
you
get
this
project
to
let
if
we
were
to
do
it,
how
how
soon
would
it
take
you.
H
G
And
I
needed
that
statement
to
rest,
miss
peterson's
mind
as
far
as
january.
26
is
what
it's
going
to
take
them
to
get
that
project
to
late
on
january.
26Th
has
any
design
on
that
project
been
completed.
H
G
While
we
can
allocate
the
funds,
there's
still
going
to
be
a
three
three
year
lag
to
get
into
construction,
and
then
they
get
to
the
lighting
so
right
and
we're
trying
to
expedite
those
funds,
so
we
can
appropriate
those
dollar
marks.
The
other
comment,
I'll
make
is,
is
wait
waiting
on
text
that
that's
that's
a
good
comment,
but.
E
G
I
want
to
reassure
the
board
and
everybody
all
the
members
here
that
when
we
started
this
run
textile
committed
to
the
worth
here
in
china
by
taking
it
on
board,
taking
on
the
design
taking
on
the
environmental,
taking
on
the
inspection
and
bringing
it
on
system
to
expedite
the
project.
Thank.
G
Wait
is
a
little
harsh,
but
you
are
and
that's
just
waiting
for
me
to
get
to
the
finish
line.
But
we
have.
We
are
committed.
D
To
that
product
mayor,
my
my
only
concern
and-
and
I'm
completely
provided
to
you-
but
I
got
to
be
very
clear.
My
only
concern
is
that
the
city
of
laredo
and
the
county
have
made
incredible
investments
in
south
florida
as
well
we're
making
a
50
million
investment
in
a
sports
complex
down
there
right
now
and
we're
changing
roads
down
there.
We
have
a
lot
of
growth
in
that
area,
and
so
taking
all
this
money
and
waiting
until
2028
2029
to
make
a
change
down
there
is,
I
don't
think
appropriate.
D
Is
there
a
way
to
have
fun
like
split
the
funds?
If
you
will
will
they
get
upset
if
we,
if
we
allocate
50
of
the
funds
for
four
years,
so
that
we
can
actually
start
this
other
project,
which
is
really
important
for
us
in
the
south
side
of
the
city
and-
and
you
know,
there's
just
really-
we
need
to
fight
for
that.
So
that's.
I
G
Here,
right
on
here's,
the
thing
I'm
having
flashbacks
to
appear,
here's
the
thing,
that's
a
great
comment,
because
mr
brown
is
going
to
leading
in
26,
which
is
three
years
down
the
road.
We
can
actually
allocate
13
million
of
the
npo
dollars
to
that
letting
date.
We
can
take
the
seven
million
dollars
and
allocate
it
now
and
we
can
get
that
done
and
we
can
do
loma
zazu
with
assembling
that
that
we're
missing
on
it.
G
We
will
have
to
work
on
design
and
planning
on
it
and
as
far
as
the
overruns
on
the
the
rutheniart,
however,
we
are
short
or
under
I'm
thinking,
we're
going
to
be
short
on
it.
We
can
always
amend
the
tip
to
get
additional
fees
for
that
product.
G
So
what
we
do
is
like
we
have
estimates
and
we
have
additional
funds
we're
going
to
have
another
year.
That's
coming
up
that
we
can
allocate
funds
to
it.
If
we
have
another
run
on
the
project,
we
can
amend
it,
sort
of
like
we
did,
but
it
comes
from
texas.
G
J
So
so
mary
didn't
want
to
binge,
because
I
think
dr
martinez
was
this
question.
Was
this
so
the
way
everything
works
right
now,
so
everyone
can
write
those
10
years.
We
can
allocate
projects
anywhere
in
those
10
years.
We
want
right
now
and
we
can
speak
four
funds
in
each
one
of
those
years.
So
if
the
army
is
saying
that
the
project,
for
example,
could
right
now
led
in
26,
you
could
use
26
and
27
again.
J
This
is
just
a
proposal
would
have
to
be
looked
at
26
and
27
those
two
years
pull
them
forward,
so
we
can
lend
26.
in
essence
what
that
would
give
you
24
25,
yes
to
use
again
granted.
We
need
to
look
at
what
overwatch
free
potential
could
have
from
a
char
root
ninja,
but
that
money
would
be
available
for
a
project
to
let
in
24
25..
If
we
would
up.
H
No,
they
they.
What
what
they're
watching
for
what
they
want
to
see.
Is
that
the
commitment
of
the
funding?
I
can't
speak
to
the
timing
of
it
because
we
didn't
know
what
was
going
to
happen
with
the
chart
where
that
budget's
going
to
come
in
and
I'm
not
sure.
If
I'm,
I
don't
think
it
matters
if
it's
26
27,
because
they've
said
they'd
move
it
up,
but
if
the
mpo
decides
to
slide
other
projects
in
front
of
it,
I
think
that's
where
they
might
have
a
problem
with
it.
But
I
can't.
G
It
I
think
the
concern
right
now
from
txdot
is
that
the
upcoming
10
years
of
cat,
7
and
pure
knowledge
are
not
committed
to
projects.
If
you
commit
the
projects
now
as
we're
slating,
it's
a
clear
cut
here.
These
projects
are
communicated.
F
And
that's
leveraging
your
dollars,
that's
exactly
what
now
I'm
sorry
I
mean
you
made
a
comment
right
now
that
we
could
we
could
piggyback
off.
I
don't
know
if
we
could
piggyback
off
of
the
seven
million
that
you
need
for
las
lomas
says
because
not
I
would
move
a
motion
or
I
would
add
my
I
would
amend
my
motion
move.
I
don't
think
we
could
do
that
with
the
way
it
reads
right
now.
Can
we
does
any.
F
B
A
Make
sure
that
we
program
so
let
me
go
back
a
little
bit.
We
have
a
motion
by
the
judge
and
we're
second
about
you.
I
think
you
know
to
fill
a
gap.
I
think
it's
clear
to
me
that
there's
flexibility
just
long
as
we
commit
you
know
to
this
bias
here:
project
the
13
million
now.
A
E
D
B
The
conclusion
was
just
that
the
letter
mentioned
13
million,
but
what
mr
brown
is
saying
is
that
they
would
like
to
not
use
all
the
9
million
because
they
want
to
leverage
some
of
those
other
dollars.
So
that's
where
the
confusion
stems
from
because
the
letter
says
30
million,
but
the
request
is
for
16
minutes
six.
Two
years.
A
H
And
I
have
both
verified
is,
is
okay,
that
I've
confirmed
through
the
governor's
office
david's,
confirmed
it
too
that
that
that
the
money
as
long
as
it's
coming
in
locally
it
doesn't
matter
where
it
comes
from.
It
doesn't
have
to
all
be
from
the
nine
from
us.
It
can
be.
F
I
think
it's
important
to
ask
this
question.
I'm
not
sure
if
anyone
knows
I've
asked
it
is
we're
at
68
million
dollars
sitting
there
from
the
category
seven.
Is
that
correct?
Well
sure,
because
all
we
have
to
do
is
just
start
subtracting
our
third.
You
know
our
16
or
whatever,
eight
and
eight,
and
it
goes
from
there
and
then
the
other
seven.
So
then
you
start
going
and
you
have
a
little
bit
of
piggy
bank
left
over,
but
we're
leveraging
our
monies
right
now.
Is
that
not
what
we're
doing
it.
F
J
And
may
I
mayor,
I
just
want
to
clarify
everyone.
Like
mr
mention
right
now,
the
cat
seven
is
npo
funds
right.
Those
are
funds
that,
as
a
committee
policy
committee
we
could
have
allocated.
We
cannot
get
at
any
time
as
long
as
we
vote
on
it.
The
where
textile
comes
in
is
text
on
insane,
and
I
believe
we
had
spoken
about
this.
Maybe
about
a
year
ago
about
the
possibility,
texas
come
in
and
say
we
can
accelerate
the
use
of
those
funds
right.
J
L
If
I
can
just
to
kind
of
go
back
to
what
people
were
saying
right
now
and
and
just
to
clarify
that
I
wasn't
trying
to
say
anything
negative
about
textile,
I
was
just
stating.
What
we
all
know
is
true
is
that
textile
did
take
over
that
project
and
we
are
waiting
for
them
to
be
able
to
start
that
project
right.
But
if
we
go
ahead
with
these
other
projects,
then
we
can
go
ahead
and
start
getting
those
constructed,
because
I
don't
think
txdot
is
going
to
be
building
by
a
seal
road.
L
So,
while
we're
waiting
on
richard
ruthenberg,
we
can
also
get
these
other
things,
and
I
do
think
it's
important
for
us
to
set
our
priorities
and
just
let
everybody
know
like
this
is
important
to
us
and
it
would
still
leave
us
money
to.
You
know
a
fund
additional
for
hr
ruth
enduring
incidentals
if
you
will
or
whatever,
but
I
don't
think
we're
being
on
un
unfiscally,
responsible
or
irresponsible,
because
we
still
have
money.
You
know
waiting
there
in
case.
F
If,
if
I
may,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
omit
my
motion
and
cap
it
at
16
million,
even
though
I'm
not
100
comfortable
with
the
18
percent
on
the
engineering
company,
I
will
just
put
that
out
there
very
uncomfortable
with
that.
I
think
that's
crazy
amount
of
money
and
it's
going
to
start
showing
presidents
from
here
forward,
and
that
makes
me
nervous.
G
H
M
G
H
A
Do
we
all
feel
comfortable
yeah
call
for
the
question.
G
One
one
more
clarification,
so
we
do
have
those
ten
years.
The
only
ones
in
pill
that
got
accelerated
are
these
two
years
for
buying
ceo
runway.
It
don't
walk
away
thinking
that
we're
going
to
be
our
sorry
year,
10
to
next
year.
It's
we
only
got
approval
to
accelerate
two
years
of
npo
cat,
seven
dollars.
A
J
Right
right,
remember:
you
can
program
products
any
way
you
want
again,
I'm
going
to
use
a
chart
reader
as
an
example.
Normally
we
would
have
to
wait
for
all
the
funds
to
be
available
to
let
for
in
in
bicycle's
case,
like
bishop
zelda
mentioned,
they
said.
In
that
case
you
can
accelerate
two
years
of
funds
to
let
that
project.
So
you
don't
have
to
have
that
money
sitting
in
the
bank.
You're.
D
J
I
F
B
J
Yeah
we
would
have
to
go
to
the
next
gtp
cycle
again
to
the
step
we
would
have
to
re-um
reprogram
it.
The
positive
of
that
project
is
that
it's
inside
existing
right
away
and
it's
already
environmentally
clear.
We
already
have
a
consultant
that
we've
got
on
board.
That's
starting
to
do
a
design
on
that.
So
you.
D
Let's
close
up
on
this,
I
think
yeah
we
can
do
that
and
the
years
that
we
choose
26
and
27
did
we
say
didn't
matter
do
do
we
need
clarification
on
that
brown?
I
just
want.
D
I
H
Now
yeah,
I'm
sure
that
I'm
going
to
certainly
call
the
governor's
office
after
this
meeting
and
let
them
know
what
happened
and
david
will.
Let
text.austin
know
what
happened
and
and
if
there's
a
problem
with
the
way
something
takes
place.
I
guess
we
might
be
back
before
you
next
month.
I
I
can't
speak
to
some
of
the
formalities
that
that
I
don't
necessarily
have.
I
B
N
N
N
D
I
C
N
G
J
J
N
J
B
J
N
Has
eight
million
dollars
eight
point
one
million
dollars
available,
plus
the
three
million
dollars
of
2023,
because
we
understand
there's
a
million
dollars
here.
That's
not
allocated
to
so
you
know
would
a
char
overrun
by
close
to
10
million
dollars.
I
don't
think
so,
not.
G
N
J
H
The
only
thing
david
I
would
ask
is
is,
and
I
I'm
watching
what's
happening
with
the
motion,
I
appreciate
everything.
Y'all
are
doing.
I
know
it's
a
struggle
to
get
to
where
it
makes
sense
to
have
a
motion,
but
just
please
make
sure
if,
if,
if
for
some
reason,
emotion
is
at
the
next
meeting
of
motion
is
made
for
for
25,
it
sounds
like
to
be
that
we
can
still
accelerate
26
27,
that's
going
to
be.
G
J
Yeah,
I
I
do
want
to
mention
something
that
chris
gonzalez
mentioned.
Is
that
remember
so
whatever
say
you
decide
to
accelerate
22-27
when
you
do
that,
we
need
to
be
mindful
that
whatever
projects
money,
you
accelerated
now
you're
going
to
have
to
wait
until
28
to
let
another
project
for
the
money
to
be
there.
Well,
we've
been
waiting
on
the
chart
with
you
for
a
while,
so.
D
L
What
what's
I'm
excited
about
hearing
all
of
this
is
that
I
see
three
projects
that
are
going
to
come
online
sooner
than
later,
like
three
very
needed
projects,
and
I
see
our
city
being
able
to
flow
better
and
our
traffic
and
our
issues
being
alleviated
a
lot
sooner,
and
I
know
that
it's
scary
to
say:
oh
we're
tying
up
all
our
money
into
this
or
that.
L
But
you
know
we
never
know
what's
going
to
happen
tomorrow,
we
can
maybe
push
for
some
other
thing,
or
these
projects
could
be
eligible
for
different
funding
or
maybe
hopefully
the
state
will
look
at
port
naredo
and
maybe
give
us
some
extra
funding
for
for
for
stuff
like
that.
But
as
of
right
now
I
mean
I'm
hearing
lomos
del
sur
by
seo
and
hachar
ruthinger,
which
to
me
is
very,
very
exciting
and
very
very
much
needed
and
vaisil
might
seem
like
a
new
project.
But
we've
been
talking
about
it
for
years.
L
I
remember
advocating
for
this
as
a
private
citizen,
you
know
asking
for
relief
years
ago
and
so
hachar
ruthinger
has
been
in
the
works
for
what
over
20
years,
and
so
I
don't
think
people
realize
just
how
long
and
how
much
work
it
takes
to
get
these
things
going.
But
right
now
I
think
three
big
major
projects
sooner
than
later
is
very
exciting.
For
me,
okay.
A
H
Lost
it
was
16.5
motion.
Second,
then
you
went
into
discussion
this
question
so
but
but
I
don't
know
if
you
need
to
but.
B
D
D
I
A
B
E
B
So
when
we
bring
it
back
to
the
tip,
you
can
still
talk
about
the
the
years.
I
think
we
need
to
reprogram
those
years,
there's
still
opportunities
for
that,
but
it
is,
it
makes
sense
right
now
or
it'd
be
best
to
be
able
to
say
which
year
she
wants
to
program.
That
way.
Staff
can
start
working
every
day.
B
K
K
B
The
funding
is
there.
This
funding
is
available
at
78
million
that
we
have
available.
Like
mr
gonzalez
mentioned,
we
could
fund
all
that
across
whichever
projects
you
want
right
now,
then
we
need
to
amend
the
tip
so
right
now
we're
asking
okay.
How
much
do
you
want
to
fund
for
by
and
in
which
years
that
we
can
start
programming
it?
That
still
leaves
money
for
loma
satsu
in
2024
in
2027
and.
D
D
Look
at
txdot,
you
guys
are
seeing
what
we're
dealing
with
here
and
so
is.
Can
you
help
us
somehow
more
with
la
masa,
because
it's
a
big
priority
for
us
so.
G
It
is
a
big
priority,
just
like
we
submitted
for
this
year
and
they
went
on
a
competitive
competition
across
the
state
and
did
not
get
funded.
I
cannot
sit
here
and
tell
you
that
it's
going
to
get
funded
in
the
next
two
years.
I
can
submit
it
once
again
and
it'll
go
on
a
competitive
mode
with
boxes
across
the
state.
G
It'll
be
submitted
as
a
priority,
but
it
was
submitted
as
a
part
of
this
unit
did
not
get
funded.
So
it's
it's.
G
So,
thank
you,
mr
gonzalez,
will
give
us
a
recap
of
the
dollar
amounts
that
are
within
our
chart.
What's
left
in
it,
what
loma
zazur
needs
and
what
we
can
utilize,
we
can
make
that
decision,
because
we
will
have
to
create
an
advanced
funding
agreement
specific
specifying
which
years
this
money
of
impeal
dollars
is
going
to
come
from
and
that
it's
strictly
for
construction
dollars
when
it
comes
to
mpo
cat
seven
dollars
we'll
have
to
get
that
in
the
agreement.
G
J
So
even
if
that
would
happen
and
say
you
did
put
lomas
the
mpo
decided
to
put
an
almost
in
front
of
it,
even
if
it
did
overrun.
You
already
have
the
approved
from
texas
to
accelerate
to
future
years,
so
your
leading
date
that
you
establish
is
going
to
be
where
the
project
is
going
to.
Let
go
so.
There's
no
gamble
for
for
you
on
on
your
part.
As
far
as
not
meeting
the
lady
so
yeah
they
can
set
the
lane
date
and
week
they
can.
I.
H
Hear
what
you're
saying
I
just
want
you
and
david
to
make
sure
from
austin
that
it
doesn't
muddy.
H
The
wishes
of
the
mpl,
if
I
appreciate
all
the
dialogue
that
you
all
have
we're
good
with
that.
A
2627
fiscal
years
and
and
up
to
13.5
no.
I
A
16.5,
it's
late.
Okay,
so
call
for
the
question,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye,
aye,
aye
aye,
and
your
opposed
I'm
seeing
that
motion
carries
and
embassy.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
H
F
A
Like
usual,
let's
see
what
else,
let's
see.
D
I
have
an
island
mayor.
Okay.
This
item
needs
discussion
with
possible
action
on
connecting
international
boulevard
north
of
the
loop
to
I-35
and
others
other
necessary
mobility
improvements
in
northeast
laredo
and
any
other
matters
incident
there
too,
where
the
money's
coming
from.
So
we
don't,
we
don't
know
yet
these
are
potentially
cat,
7
funds
that
we
were
looking
for
as
well,
but
I
want
to
talk
about
it
first
and
start
the
process
of
looking
at
it
because
we
haven't
even
started
to
look
at
it.
D
So
there's
numerous
things
that
have
been
working
specifically
when
loop
20
was
designed.
They
made
a
no
exit,
so
no
off
ramp
to
mcpherson,
so
there's
an
on-ramp,
but
no
off-ramp
and
mcpherson
is
literally
the
busiest
street
in
all
of
laredo.
D
D
I've
been
speaking
to
a
tax
dot
about
you
know.
Why
didn't
that
happen?
And
apparently
there
was
some
some
peace
mailing
that
was
occurring
at
the
time
and
right
now,
there's
not
enough
distance
to
create
an
off
ramp.
When
there's
already
an
on-ramp
that
exists
there,
you
need
1800
feet
and
it
doesn't
exist,
there's
a
possibility
for
them
to
add
an
off-ramp
if
they
remove
the
on-ramp,
which
would
alleviate
a
lot
of
issues
that
we're
facing
in
that
area.
D
But
in
order
to
do
that,
they
need
to
have
another
exit,
so
my
constituents
and
in
that
part
of
town,
if
you've
been
to
that
part
of
town
they
struggle,
because
really,
when
you're
looking
at
that
area,
there's
I
can't
I
can't
use
the
mouse.
But
you
look
at
international
and
then
mcpherson
heading
north
there's,
really
where
united
is
there's,
no
there's
no
exit
there,
so
all
that
traffic
right
there,
it
all
gets
blocked
up
and
log
jammed
into
this
area.
D
What
we're
looking
for
is
a
secondary
exit
or
a
secondary
entrance
to
be
able
to
get
out
from
this
whole
northeast
part
of
town.
The
goal
is
to
extend
mcpherson
north
and
extend
international
north.
All
the
way
up
to
my
marker
13-
and
you
know
50
70
80
years
from
now,
whenever
it
happens,
but
we
need
them.
We
need
another
exit
getting
out
from
that
united
high
school
across.
If
you
will
and
there's
already
an
overpass
that
exists.
That
txdot
was
telling
me
about
mr
assad.
G
Exists
sure
so
right
there,
where
that
mouse
is
at
that's
tresekie's
intersection.
There
is
an
overpass
there,
so
just
a
great
description
of
what's
going
on
in
the
area
and
what
happened
in
the
construction
phase
of
that.
If
y'all
can
recall,
when
the
mcpherson
overpass
was
constructed,
we
only
had
enough
funds
for
mcpherson.
G
So
when
we
built
the
overpass,
it
made
perfect
sense
to
build
an
on-ramp,
so
you
wouldn't
get
traffic
like
well,
I
have
an
overpass
and
you
can't
utilize
it.
So
that's
why
the
mcpherson
overpasses
there
and
then,
if
you
all
recall,
we
got
funding
for
international.
At
that
point,
we
did
the
same
thing.
We
did
an
on-ramp
and
an
off-ramp
for
international,
so
we
can
fly
over
the
problem
with
it.
G
Is
that
the
the
proximity
of
mcpherson
international
so
close
that
with
hwa
regulations,
we
can't
put
it
off
and
on-ramp,
and
what
happens
right
now
is
that
all
that
traffic
from
the
los
palmades
san
nicito,
the
the
ninth
grade
campus
the
high
school,
the
elementary
school,
the
warehousing
there
they
all
come
down
and
they
utilize
that
ramp
right
before
mcpherson.
G
If
we
were
to
make
that
and
off-ramp
all
that
traffic
would
fall
down
to
the
mepherson
traffic
light
and
it
would
be
backed
up,
so
it
makes
perfect
sense,
and
it
was
in
line
with
our
study
of
the
traffic
study
on
it
that
the
best
possible
solution
for
that
area
right
now
was
the
on
rap
and
mcpherson.
G
Certainly,
a
need
for
an
off-ramp
there,
like
mr
martin,
has
described
so.
The
concern
is
if
we
had
an
alternate
route
for
the
all
those
subdivisions,
the
schools
back
toward
35,
where
they
have
another
accident
and
alleviate
that
traffic
that
is
coming
out
to
mcpherson.
We
can
certainly
at
that
point,
look
at
it
where
we
could
remove
the
on-ramp
and
place
an
off-ramp
if
it
would
associate
with
the
study
we
were
conducted
at
that
point
and.
D
What
we're
trying
to
do
here
is
in
line
with
the
future
land
use
and
major
thoroughford
plan
for
the
city
of
laredo,
but
we
do
need.
It
is
a
large
project,
that's
going
to
require
some
studying
and
some
funds,
and
maybe
even
some
rma
support
and
things
along
those
lines.
Sorry,
I'm
just
just
did
I
say:
overpass
will
cost.
A
D
J
D
But
what
we
need
to
do
is
to
start
establishing
a
cost
start
establishing
a
way
of
making
this
happen,
because
I
think
the
mobility
in
this
particular
portion
of
the
city
is
really
hampered
and
we
have
a
lot
of
development.
That's
occurring
there,
both
warehouse
development
and
residential
development,
and
we
keep
getting
one
at
one
exit
and
that
exit
being
international
no
other
way
of
getting
out,
and
so
I
know
a
mine's
road
is
dealing
with
the
same
sort
of
concept.
So
we
can
find
another
road.
B
So
there
is
a
proposed
minor
arterial
which
is
united
avenue
that
extents,
as
shown
here
in
the
thoroughfare
plan
that
overpass
here
mentioned,
the
expansion
of
that
is
in
our
long-range
plan.
We
would
need
to
add
the
united
avenue
to
our
long-range
plan
in
the
metropolitan
transportation
plan,
but
in
the
city
stir
fair
plan,
future
therapy
plan
that
road
is
there
it's
this
dotted
line.
You
see
here
right
above
the
little.
D
B
I
can
mention
we
would
need
to
add
this
project
to
the
mtp
at
least
mention
that
it's
a
priority,
we'll
add
it
there
and
then
again
once
it's,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
it's
within
that
fiscally
drained
project
list
so
make
sure
there's
funds
for
the
future,
but
definitely
we
would
need
cost
estimates
more
project
information
on
this
to
be
able
to
program
that,
in
our
in
our
long-range
transportation
plan.
B
D
Okay,
all
right
and
as
far
as
finding
funds
for
this,
though,
we
could
potentially
find
funds
if
we
from
cat7,
if
you,
if
you
will,
in
addition
to
whatever
city
funds
as
long
as
we're
able
to
to
to
get
a
cost
estimate.
First,
yes,.
B
There's
two
a
list
project
list
in
our
mtp
there's
a
fiscally
constrained
project
list
that
says
what
are
the
available
revenues
a
year?
No!
Well,
it's!
No!
It's
through
2045.!
So
it's
expected
revenue
through
2045..
If
there's
many
available
there,
we
can
see.
We
can
program
this
in
there
and
then
there's
the
it's
more
like
a
wish
list
of
projects
that,
if
there's
available
fun
additional
available
funding
available.
B
These
are
projects
we
would
wish
to
do,
but
I
believe
there
we
will
be
able
to
add
this
to
the
mtp
and
we'll
just
need
to
make
sure
that
there's
fiscal
constraint
and
we
need
to
look
at
all
the
projects
as
we
do
have
projects
in
the
mtp
that
are
outlined
for
cat
seven
dollars
all
the
way
to
2045
right.
B
D
Availability,
well,
that
that
would
be.
That
would
be
my
motion
mayor
to
add
this
to
the
mtp
in
in
that
category,
which
is.
A
B
The
current
mtp
we
have
is
2020
to
2045.
pretty
soon
we'll
start
working
on
our
2025
to
2050
mtp.
So
we
can
also
add
that
project
in
there.
But
so
it's
just
a
matter
of
saying
you
know
when
what
would
we
be
able
to
let
this
project
we'll
be
adding
that
the
other
thing
I
was
going
to
mention?
Oh
well,
it's
a
question
you
had
mirror.
Excuse
me
just.
B
That
motion
right
now
again
I'll,
have
to
bring
a
formal
agenda
item
to
add
this
project
to
the
mtp,
ensure
it's
fiscal
constraint,
have
the
public
involvement
so
we'll
have
to
do
all
that
to
add
it
to
the
mtp
and
there's
going
to
be
opportunities
in
the
future
to
prioritize
these
projects.
But.
B
B
Have
to
check
it
was
significant.
Let
me
open
that
here.
D
D
And
we've
prioritized
the
south
over
the
last
four
years.
It's
it's
high
time
that
we
prioritize
the
northeast
part
of
the
town
as
well,
because
it
is
important,
and
so,
although
I
have
been
given
you
know,
I
have
supported
the
west
and
the
south
and
downtown,
but
now
it's
time
to
do
something
for
northeast.
This
is
how
we
do
it.
We
we
give
a
little
here
we
go
a
little
there,
and
so
we
have
to
start
thinking
about
the
northeast
part
of
the
town,
because
we
don't.
D
A
Let
me
ask
you
this:
will
this
compete
in
any
way
with
the
overpasses
great
separations
on
on
the
loop
20.?
We
need
to
get
that
loop,
20
down
period,
charity
program,
so
they're,
not
in
competition.
D
B
E
B
The
projects
prioritize
everything
the
conversation
we've
had
with
you
a
few
months
ago
and
we've
been
having
the
technical
committee
as
like.
How
often
do
we
revisit
these
projects?
Recently,
the
technical
committee
said
you
know
what
maybe
every
year
we
can
just
come
back,
bring
the
priority
list
and
just
say:
are
these
to
our
priorities?
Are
there
other
factors
that
the
policy
committee
wants
the
technical
committee
to
look
at
and
we
can
go
ahead.
D
B
A
B
B
And
again,
this
could
be
something
that's
going
to
be
again
revisited
in
the
new
long-range
metropolitan
transportation
plan.
A
O
Planning
director
for
the
record
just
a
little
bit
of
insight
of
what's
going
on
in
this
area,
we
just
had
an
annexation
for
an
elementary
school
right
behind
the
this
ninth
grade
campus
or
excuse
me,
this
is
not
ninth
grade
campus,
so
they
did
a
little
piece
right
here
to
put
in
elementary
school.
That's
going
to
add
so
much
traffic
to
internationals,
then
down
over
here.
O
So
we
are
in
discussions
with
them,
we'll
we
we
will
be
talking
with
them,
because,
because
of
those
those
annexations
without
a
master
plan,
it
really
got
us
nervous
to
we
don't
know
what's
going
on
and
what
will
happen
is
they'll
piecemeal,
their
development,
and
it's
just
going
to
add
to
this
now.
On
that
note,
if
you
get
up
further
north
and
you
look
at
the
racetrack,
I
call
it
the
racetrack,
majestic
2,
000
acres,
okay,
I
don't
have
a
master
plan
for
this
okay,
so
they're
coming
in
their
peace
meeting.
O
O
We
do
have
to
talk
to
the
county
on
that,
because
that's
very
important.
So
not
only
do
we
have
the
issue
of
getting
traffic
away
from
international,
which
is
desperately
needed,
but
we
also
have
that
project
on
the
north
side,
so
discussions
are
being
had
with
the
developers
because
we
need
master
plans.
We
can't.
D
We
just
we
did
the
same
thing
on
the
west
side
of
this
planet.
It
got
us
into
the
predicaments
that
we're
in
that
we're
currently
spending
millions
of
dollars
to
try
to
undo.
We
can't
do
the
same
thing
on
the
northeast
side
of
the
town.
We
have
to
be
a
lot
more,
systematic
and
and
very
disciplined
in
how
we
master
plan
this
area,
because
it's
going
to
grow-
and
I
know
that
I'm
I'm
preaching
to
the
choir
when
it
comes
to
miss
pettis
over
here.
D
So
now
is
the
time
for
us
to
make
these
decisions
and
start
adding
these
roads
as
we
go
in
a
very
in
I
keep
saying
systematic,
but
in
a
square
pattern
all
the
way
up,
so
that
it's
very
straight
and
it
separated
into
blocks,
and
we
have
it
gridded
and
planned
so
that
we
don't
go
through
these
problems
that
we
did
on
the
other
side
of
the
town
and
so
to
that
end
mayor.
That's
why
I
think
it's
important.
D
O
D
And
again,
right
now,
the
school
district,
just
added
hundreds
of
vehicles
to
an
extremely
crowded
road,
and
I
get
the
calls
every
week
regarding
this
area,
just
like
others,
get
the
calls
every
week
regarding
other
areas.
If
we
can
get
an
exit
from
this
point
somewhere
else,
I
think
it
will
resolve
a
lot
of
issues
and
it
gets
us
started
on
the
right
track.
So
that's
why.
I
A
A
Yeah,
discussion
of
possible
action
on
the
hr
ruthing
your
road
project,
any
again
any
more
information
from
texas
other
than
what
we
discussed
as
a
sidebar,
more
or
less.
When
we
had
the
other
action.
J
A
That's
fine!
Thank
you.
Moving
on
to
roman
numeral,
5a
presentation
and
planning
environmental
linkages
by
the
federal
highway
administration
representative,
mr.
A
M
That's
great,
thank
you,
honorable
mayor
and
members
of
the
policy
board.
I
appreciate
this
opportunity
to
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
about
planning
and
environmental
linkages.
It's
been
an
exciting
meeting
today
and
I
really
missed
out
coming
back
to
these
meetings
a
couple
years
like
last
two
years,
a
lot
of
good
discussion
on
funding
and
fiscal
constraints
and
all
the
things
we
talk
about
in
the
planning
world,
about
long-range
plans
and
tips.
So,
but
don't
worry,
there's
not
a
shortage
of
money.
M
We
had
1.2
trillion
dollars
that
was
passed
by
congress
in
november
of
2021,
finding
law
under
the
bipartisan
infrastructure
law.
So
there's
plenty
of
money.
I
mean
for
good
ideas,
I'm
sure
there's
a
way
to
fund
it.
I
mean
there's,
there's
got
to
be
a
way.
I
like
this
guy,
we'll
just
I'll
write.
You
checks
as
soon
as
you
walk
out
the
door
here,
but.
M
Right
now
I
didn't
bring
my
checkbook
with
me,
but
I
will
talk
about
playing
environmental
linkages
and
give
you
a
little
overview
of
what
we're
trying
to
do.
What
we're
trying
to
do
is
take
the
planning
products
that
are
coming
out
of
the
planning
process,
like
the
long
range
plan,
the
quarter
studies
even
the
tip,
take
those
documents,
the
modeling,
that
you
do
to
prepare
those
those
about
plans
and
programs,
carry
them
forward
into
the
environmental
process
and
link
them
together,
and
once
we
make
that
linkage,
we
save
time
we
save
money.
M
We
save
resources
an
amount
of
time.
We
get
a
major
project
from
we
talk
about
leading
psne
all
the
way
to
environmental
development,
environmental
documentation
and
finding
construction
and
maintenance
and
operations
we're
trying
to
shorten
that
time.
Because,
right
now,
it's
taking
us
too
long
to
get
projects
out
on
the
road
open
the
traffic
as
soon
as
possible.
M
So
we're
going
to
we're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
we
can
do
actually
we're
working
on
a
statewide
guidance
reference
guide
through
the
texas
transportation
institute
and
txdot
we're
spending
about
450
000
on
the
document.
We
should
have
it
ready
in
about
a
year
and
in
that
document,
we're
going
to
show
you
how
the
process
works
structurally,
get
a
project
from
a
to
z
and
and
to
finally
get
it
implemented
open
to
traffic.
A
Play
interruption:
just
ask
you,
your
your
assistance
is
more
on
the
state
level
correct
I
mean
it
doesn't
get
down
to
our
level
to
the
no.
M
A
We
interact,
you
know:
where
do
we.
M
Meet
the
employees,
the
mpo
planning
products
that
you're
currently
working
on,
like
your
long
range
plan,
your
quarter,
studies
that
you're
working
on
through
that
we're
funding
with
our
pl
funds,
the
federal
pl
planning
funds.
We
can
take
those
studies,
those
results
of
those
studies
and
use
them
more
quickly
into
the
environmental
process
and
taking
those
products.
You
know,
based
on
the
latest
planning
assumptions
based
on
the
latest
modeling
and.
M
M
M
Them
the
contract,
you
know
the
consultant
fees
and
things
like
that,
because
you
don't
need
to
pay
them
twice.
You
use
it
once
you
use
it
again
and
use
it
once
and
use
it
often
in
the
planning
process.
So
it's
a
collaborative
decision-making
process.
We're
going
to
have
workshops
we're
going
to
do
some
peer
exchanges.
We've
got
a
december
9th
we're
going
to
do
a
workshop
half
day
in
austin,
and
you
guys
are
going
to
be
more
than
welcome
to
attend
it's
free
of
charge.
M
It's
about
a
half
day,
we're
gonna
bring
in
the
folks
from
headquarters
we're
gonna
bring
in
the
consultants
working
on
the
reference
guide
and
tti.
We're
gonna,
make
a
four-hour
workshop
and
and
really
get
into
the
details
of
how
this
is
done
at
the
mpo
level,
at
the
state
level,
working
together
to
marry.
The
processes
like
I
mentioned
before
and
getting
a
process
that
will
work
best
for
the
state
of
texas
is
what
we're?
After
because
we're
going
to
save
money,
we're
going
to
save
time
we're
going
to
save
resources
and,
basically
that's.
M
M
M
M
M
Your
policy
board
actions
that
you're
talking
about.
So
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
just
sell
the
program
sell
pal
and
basically,
if
I've
done
a
good
enough
job
to
interest
your
peak
your
interest,
I
hope
you
can
come
to
the
training
that
we're
going
to
be
offering
free
of
charge.
This
can
be
in
conjunction
with
the
txdot
and
tti
and
federal
highways,
and
we're
going
to
do
the
best
we
can
to
get
that
message
across
the
state.
There's
other
mpos
are
using
it.
Now.
M
It's
houston
galveston
area
council,
using
it
el
paso
mpo,
are
using
this
process.
San
antonio's
used
this
process.
E
M
M
It's
going
to
run
from
like
9
30
10
to
about
3
at
the
new
stasny
office.
They
have
a
new
texas
headquarters
office
in
austin
brand
new
building,
beautiful
you're,
asking.
M
B
B
B
We
invited
mr
falwer
to
give
this
presentation
because
we
noticed
there's,
definitely
opportunities
to
accelerate
projects
and,
for
example,
there's
always
that
environmental
requirement
when
you're
using
federal
funds.
I
think
this
is
a
good
approach
where
we
can
align
our
studies.
You
know
to
make
sure
we're
doing
some
of
that
environmental
work
up
front
and
have
you
know,
be
able
to
accelerate.
B
A
M
M
M
For
it
already
and
yes,
sir,
we're
ready
to
rock
and
roll
the
expansion
yeah
for
the
world
trade
breach,
we
submitted
the
permit
but
hasn't
been
approved.
Permit
has
come
back
and
I
think
I
believe
it's
been
approved,
but
I
I
need
to
check.
M
A
G
P
Thank
you
very
much
good
afternoon
and
for
the
record,
my
name
is
jose
vargas.
The
lady
engineer
welcomes.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
currently,
our
area
office
is
handling
308
million
dollars,
most
of
it
in
webb
county.
So
this
is
the
status
of
the
ongoing
projects,
starting
with
the
ih35
project.
It's
currently
approximately
55
percent
progress
we're
working
on
the
main
lane
of
I,
which
is
going
to
be
the
iteration.
A
P
A
Okay,
sir
active,
but
I've
heard
larger
numbers
active
as
well,
except
for
just.
G
Is
my
area
yeah
today
mayor
there's
500
million
dollars
worth
of
active
construction
dollars,
500.
G
The
loreto
district,
which
encompasses
the
eight
counties,
a
large
portion
of
that
300
plus
million,
is
in
white
county
itself.
Yes,.
G
G
P
Like
I
said,
we
are
working
on
the
northbound
mainland
over
the
railroad
track
and
completion
date
for
this
project
is
summer
of
2024,
with
an
investment
of
115
million
dollars
close
to
that
area,
we
have
the
I-69
widening.
We
are
wrapping
up
this
project.
We
expected
to
accept
this
project
towards
the
end
of
fall,
we're
about
95
completion,
and
this
is
adding
an
extra
lane
on
I-69
out
of
the
international
bridge
and
adding
a
ramp
to
relieve
some
of
the
traffic
out
of
the
connectors
to
the
frontage
road.
P
P
This
is
the
widening
of
1472.
This
is
from
fast
can
to
kill
them.
We're
currently
50
are
complete
as
we
move
forward
this
month,
you're
gonna
start
seeing
a
lot
more
of
a
concrete
payment,
so
this
project
is
starting
to
take
shape
and
expected.
Completion
date
is
also
towards
the
end
of
the
fall
of
this
year.
P
We
have
those
precedentes
a
connection
on
south
laredo
that
is
90,
complete
we're
also
wrapping
up
that
project
towards
the
end
of
fall,
we're
adding
three
passing
lanes
on
359
we're
about
35
percent
on
that
project.
The
investment
for
for
those
passing
lanes
is
about
5.2
million
dollars,
a
completion
date
estimated
spring
of
2023
out
of
the
our
safety
program.
We
are
updating
upgrading
rails
on
ih-35,
it's
a
2.5
million
investment
completion
date
also
towards
the
end
of
the
year.
P
These
are
projects
that
are
going
to
start
this
month
to
overlay
projects
different
locations
through
laredo,
mainly
on
ih-35,
and
we
also
have
some
areas
inside
the
city
which
is
us-59
from
I-35
to
buena,
vista
and
clark
from
luke
20
to
arkansas
within
city
limits,
and
again
most
of
this
project
is
on
iaih-35
and
we
also
have
a
location
on
1472
from
pan-american,
more
or
less
four
miles
out
of
255,
where
the
golf
course
is,
this
will
wrap
up
the
thank.
D
H
Thank
you.
Welcome
jed
brown,
chair
of
the
rma
in
your
packet,
is
an
update
project
by
project
things
are
moving
along.
You
can
see,
we've
got
nine
active
projects.
I
won't
go
over
these
unless
you
have
a
specific
question,
because
you
all
heard
enough
from
me
the
only
thing
I
will
tell
y'all
that
that
goes
to
your
initial
comment
at
the
start
of
the
meeting
about
the
mines
road.
H
When
I
leave
here
I'm
following
the
city's
planning
director
to
the
planning
department,
so
we
can
have
a
meeting
to
talk
about
the
river
road
corridor
study
project.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
that's
moving
along
and
share
information.
So
I
know
we'll
have
a
good
meeting
there
and
maybe
we'll
be
able
to
talk
about
that
at
the
next
meeting,
but
we're.
E
A
Next
is
the
director's
comments?
Yes,
thank.
B
You
mayor
before
I
comments
that
I
have
in
my
director's
report.
I
just
wanted
to
mention.
I
want
to
congratulate
our
partners
in
metro
for
the
grant
to
receive
for
the
low
or
no
emission
event.
I
know
we're
at
the
press
conference
yesterday,
so
we
want
to
congratulate
them
for
that.
I
know
they're
going.
B
Yeah
a
little
over
seven
million
dollars,
yeah
7.1,
so
there's
we'll
probably
have
to
modify
our
tip
also
for
the
transit
projects
to
add
that,
but
we
did
want
to
congratulate
them
for
that.
B
Also,
there's
a
request
from
text.austinright
for
us
to
do
an
administrative
modification
to
the
2023-26
tip
that
will
require
an
incorporated,
revised
self-certification
statement.
That's
in
your
packet
after
the
meeting
I'll
ask
the
mayor
and
mr
sabasada
to
sign
that-
and
this
is
just
to
this-
is
an
updated
self-certification
reflecting
the
new
language
from
the
infrastructure,
investment
and
jobs
act.
B
Also,
the
draft
guidelines
for
the
mpo
2022
transportation,
alternative
set-aside
call
for
projects
has
been
reviewed
by
the
active
transportation
committee
techno
committee.
They
gave
us
some
feedback
and
we're
ready
to
submit
that
to
fhwa
for
the
review,
we're
planning
to
come
back
in
september
with
an
action
item

and
our
