Description
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting 051823
A
It's
six
o'clock
and
I'm
calling
the
planning
zoning
Commission
meeting
to
order
May
18
2023.
Can
we
begin
with
called
roll
call?
Yes,
sir
Hector.
B
B
B
A
Also,
you
get
a
text
message
from
commissioner
that
he
was
going
to
be
just
have
an
emotion
to
excuse
those
who
are
unprecedent
I'll
make
a
the
excuse
me
all
in
favor.
All.
C
A
D
A
A
Do
we
have
any
citizen
comments?
No
Mr
chairman?
We
do
not.
Okay.
Moving
on
to
our
presentation
presentation
regarding
the
City
of
Laredo,
integrated
water
master
plan,
yes,
Mr.
B
Chairman,
the
City
of
Laredo
hired
a
company
to
put
together
the
master
plan
for
the
the
water
for
our
water
system
and
our
sewer
system,
so
they
completed
the
water
master
plan.
So
miss
Portillo
made
a
comment
last
meeting
about
sprawl
and
some
of
the
issues
that
we
have
with
that.
B
But
I
thought
it'd
be
important
to
let
you
know
where
our
status
is
when
it
comes
to
water
in
our
community
and
then
when
they
finish,
the
Wastewater
I'll
have
them
also
present
that
so
that
you,
you
can
get
a
good
understanding
and
I've
asked
Gene
belmares
to
come
in
and
do
the
presentation.
Thank
you.
E
Good
evening
commissioned
by
name
King
Belmont
for
the
record,
I
am
a
liquid
Studio
group.
We
are
the
public
engagement
and
stakeholder
input
firm
that
was
hired
by
Lan
to
present
Master
plans,
so
do
town
halls
and
things
of
that
nature
so
tonight
I'll
be
presenting
the
water
master
plan,
the
integrated
water
master
plan
and
I'm
just
learning
how
to
do
this.
Real
quick
here
this
mouse,
a
little
different
from
mine
at
the
office,
the
integrated
water
master
plan.
E
The
reason
it's
called
an
integrated
water
measurement
is
because
we're
integrating
the
Wastewater
side
to
it.
Our
Dura,
my
colleague,
Nasir
hirokosa
who's,
a
PE
with
Arturo,
is
handling
the
Wastewater
side,
but
he's
also
very
much
involved
in
a
water
quality
project
that
the
City
of
Laredo
has
undertaken
that
kind
of
dovetails
into
what
we're
doing
with
the
water
master
plan.
He
is
a
very,
very
strong
subject
matter,
expert
on
this
item
and
your
system,
and
so
I've
had
him
along
with
me,
Arturo
Garcia,
your
director
of
utilities
could
not
be
here
tonight.
E
He
had
an
emergency,
so
I'm
going
to
present
and
have
him
be
my
wingman.
So
this
plan
started
almost
three
years
ago,
we
began
our
engagement
with
the
city
of
Orlando
2019,
our
contract
positions
to
us
in
2020
and
I
think
he
was
made.
Maybe
three
days
after
the
contract
was
signed,
approved
and
ready
to
go.
We
were
all
sent
home
for
a
15-day,
Cur
flattened
the
curve
and
we're
in
the
middle
of
a
pandemic.
E
However,
we
were
still
able
to
do
a
lot
of
work
in
that
time
frame,
because
what
part
of
the
the
plan
was
to
go
in
and
begin
to
look
at
all
of
these
items
here,
one
of
the
very
big
items
in
the
middle
there
that
allowed
us
to
kind
of
move.
That
forward
was
the
look
at
all
the
existing
reports
that
have
been
done
for
the
city
Laredo
there.
This
is
not
the
first
water
or
Wastewater
master
plan
ever
done
for
the
city
Laredo.
E
There
have
been
several
that
have
been
done
along
the
way
about
every
five
years
or
so
you're
having
a
water
master
plan.
Last
one
was
done
in
2015,
and
there
were
several
before
that.
Commissioner.
Garcia
was
on
the
council
when
we
did
one
for
the
city
back
in
in
the
early
2000s.
Part
of
our
goals
were
to
correctly
plan
for
the
Memorial's
future
growth
identify
the
water
supply
vulnerabilities
and
you
do
have
some
prepare
for
emergency
outages
or
look
for
ways
to
prepare.
For
that.
E
Obviously,
look
at
the
existing
report
take
a
look
at
your
2015
water
model
so
that
we
could
overlay
what
has
happened
since
then
and
be
continued
to
do
that.
Hydraulic
model
then
prepare
an
infrastructure
plan
and
submit
that
to
the
city
coordinate
closely
with
City
staff
and
then
make
sure
that
our
rental
specific
model
addresses
the
impacts
and
financing
needs
of
this
community.
E
We
met
with
your
city
staff
with
the
council.
We
had
meetings
with
stakeholders
along
the
way.
There
were
quite
a
few
public
meetings.
Unfortunately,
most
of
those
were
poorly
attended
because
they
were
virtual
meetings,
we're
in
the
middle
of
pandemic,
but
once
we
started
to
come
out
of
that
and
start
having
some
of
the
hybrid
meetings,
we
had
some
really
good
attendance
on
some
of
those,
and
then
there
was
about
a
hundred
question
survey
that
was
filled
out.
E
We
had
about
1200
folks
who
filled
who
participated
in
the
survey
about
a
thousand
of
them,
went
through
the
entire
survey.
It's
quite
lengthy
and
you'll
see
some
of
those
items
presented
in
the
summary
that
we
have
here
for
you
tonight,
but
it
is
also
attached
to
the
water
master
plan,
which
is
currently
available
on
your
Laredo
utilities.com
website,
which
is
your
utility
site.
You
can
find
the
water
master
plan
there.
E
The
Wastewater
master
plan
will
follow
and
it
will
be
attached
to
it
and
again,
it's
still
in
draft
form
only
because
your
model
and
your
plan
is
already
changing
and
you'll
see
some
of
that
in
this.
So
as
part
of
this,
one
of
the
big
tasks
we
were
given
is
to
look
at
your
supply,
Alternatives
and
demand
allocations.
Obviously
you
want
to
look
at
your
population
and
where,
where
you
were
now
where
you
will
be
in
20,
40
60
years,
50
years
down
the
road
Identify,
some
alternatives
worked
through
some
demand
management
issues.
E
You
currently
have
look
at
emergency
supply
issue,
which
I
think
is
a
very
critical
point
that
needs
to
be
addressed.
We
looked
at
Lake
Casablanca,
we're
always
being
asked
hey.
How
come
we
can't
use
Lake
Casablanca
as
a
source.
There
are
some
very
cost,
prohibitive
reasons
why
we
can't
it
doesn't
mean
it's
completely
excluded.
It
is
just
not
a
priority
source
for
us,
reuse
and
scalping
Alternatives.
E
You
are
already
working
on
on
plans
to
to
use
some
of
the
effluent
at
some
point
right
now,
you're
using
it
for
irrigation,
but
there
is
tertiary
treatment,
that's
available
where
you
take
it
in
and
you
treat
it,
you
treat
it
again
and
then
you
put
it
back
into
the
system
to
to
be
used
as
possible
water.
Some
communities
already
looking
at
that
and
they're
way
ahead
of
us
ours,
because
we
just
don't
produce
enough
for
a
bang
for
buck
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
don't.
E
We
don't
do
it
already
and
then,
lastly,
we
looked
at
imported
groundwater-
that's
probably
going
to
be
your
best
source
or
a
secondary
water
source,
but
there
is
a
huge
cost
to
that
and
those
are
decisions
that
the
city
is
going
to
have
to
make
the
citizens
are
going
to
have
to
make.
We
looked
at
all
of
these
plans.
Like
I
said
we
did
a
Model
plan,
Alternatives
hydraulic
modeling,
cost
estimates.
E
So
what
this
plan
does?
It
represents
the
findings
and
results
and
recommendations
for
the
analysis
and
needs
assessment
of
your
water
supply
treatment,
transmission
distribution
system
over
the
next
50
years.
So
we've
took
a
look
at
where
we
are
right
now
in
terms
of
population,
how
much
water
we
currently
own,
what
we're
capable
of
treating
what
we're
capable
of
Distributing
and
then
took
that
out
and
said.
Can
we
continue
this
to
2070
and
what
are
the
Milestones?
What
are
the
big
triggers?
E
As
you
know,
a
pandemic
impacted
your
census.
We
we
don't
know
or
we
can't.
We
believe
that
the
267
000
people
that
were
noted
in
the
census
is
probably
off.
Fifty
sixty
thousand
I
mean
there
are
folks
who
just
who
did
not
respond
to
the
census,
but
you
still
have
a
growth
rate
and,
and
that
is
going
to
impact
your
ability
to
provide
water.
Should
you
do
nothing
else?
E
If
everything
stays
status
quo,
you
will
have
an
issue
about
20
40,
where
the
city
runs
out
of
available
water
to
treat
and
available
water
to
distribute.
Again,
we
had
a
very
robust
public
involvement
piece.
We
had
a
lot
of
council
members
did
attend
and
did
come
to.
The
workshops
did
come
to
the
town
halls.
E
We
were
out
on
Facebook,
Instagram,
Twitter
and
Linkedin.
We
had
a
website
that
was
specifically
for
this.
That
gave
information
about
the
system
in
its
current
state
and
some
of
the
Milestones
that
we
had
for
the
for
the
water
master
plan
and
then
along
the
way
we
were
informing
them
of
what
we
had
and
what
what
steps
we
were
taking.
As
we
went
through
this
project
drug
out
a
little
longer
again
because
of
the
pandemic
and
some
other
changes
you
all
had
some
immediate
needs
that
came
with
your
infrastructure.
E
Having
some
issues,
the
I
don't
know
if
you
can
see
it
here.
But
if
you
look
me
on
screen,
you
can
see
that
right
now
the
City
of
Laredo
has
approximately
42
000
acre
feet.
That
is
enough
water
to
cover
one
acre
of
land,
one
foot
deep!
That's
how
that's
translated
it's
about
40,
3,
000
gallons
per
so
the
city
currently
has
enough
water
to
successfully
service
its
clients
up
until
about
20
40
2042..
If
you
bought
no
more
water
rides.
E
If
you
found
those
secondary
water
source,
if
you
did
nothing
else,
just
sat
on
your
laurels,
because
you
have
done
some
good
things,
you
would
still
run
out
of
water
for
the
population,
that's
expected
by
2040..
So
the
city
is
aggressively
doing
a
few
things
right
to
the
state.
They
are
only
buy
more
water
rides
on
the
Rio
Grande
challenge.
Rio
Grande
water
is
all
allocated
it's
over
allocated.
What
that
means
is
somebody
owns
all
the
water
in
the
Rio
Grande.
E
People
are
going
to
get
first,
farmers
will
get
it
second,
and
anybody
else
gets
it
after
that,
but
the
reality
is
with
climate
change,
with
treaty
issues
with
Mexico
and
the
delivery
of
water
into
the
system,
you're,
basically
going
to
run
out
of
water
some
point,
even
if
you
continue
to
buy
it,
you'll
basically
be
buying
paper
and
there
won't
be
any
water
to
have.
So
that's
why
so
many
communities,
especially
along
the
I-35
Corridor,
have
gone
and
diversified
their
sources.
E
City
of
San,
Antonio
I,
think
has
correctly
from
around
nine
sources,
total
that
they
bring
into
into
their
system
saws
again
not
owned
by
the
city
of
San
Antonio.
It's
not
a
political
part
of
the
political
organ
subdivision.
It
is
a
separate
entity,
but
they
have
along
the
way,
bought
more
surface
water
or
groundwater,
surface
water,
being
rivers,
lakes,
streams,
groundwater
being
aquifers,
Wells
and
things
of
that
nature.
E
So
one
of
the
questions
that
was
asked
in
the
survey
is
how
urgent
of
an
issue
do
you
think
acquiring
a
secondary
water
source
is,
and
you
can
see
that
38
percent
of
the
people
down
to
Midway
the
three-star
over
half
of
them
felt
that
this
was
a
really
really
important
issue.
Do
you
think
the
student
should
invest
in
a
secondary
water
source,
split
right
down
the
middle,
so
to
speak?
They
want
some
said.
Yes,
some
said
no
and
some
ends
on
the
cost.
E
E
They
have
containment
systems,
they
have
a
lot
of
things
in
place
to
keep
from
a
bad
spill
getting
into
the
river,
but
that's
not
not
to
say
that
it
can't
happen
or
Mexico
or
a
community
upstream
or
just
something
that
happens
along
the
Rio
Grande
that
that
could
pollute
the
the
river
your
intakes
are
both
upstream
and
downstream
of
areas
of
high
population.
So
you
would
have
to
wait
for
that
water
to
go
by.
What
do
you
do
in
the
time
in
that
time
frame?
E
The
city
would
need
about
23
million
gallons
a
day
for
you
to
be
able
to
still
have
water
right
now.
The
city
has
enough
storage
for
you
to
last.
Maybe
2.9
days
tops
if
we
rationed
absolutely
to
the
the
fullest,
and,
as
you
all
know
when,
when
you
announce
it,
you're
not
going
to
have
your
water
guess
what
everybody
else
does
they
go
fill
up
their
bathtubs,
they
go
fill
up
their
sinks.
They
fill
up
the
swimming
pools.
They
do
whatever
they
can
to
hold
water.
E
So
2.9
days
is
probably
not
an
accurate
number
water
supply.
The
city's
got
all
of
its
water
from
the
Rio
down
that
we've.
You
know.
We've
said
that
throughout
this
presentation
and
in
in
this
particular
Mass
plan,
you're
going
to
see
it
throughout
that
this
is
the
issue
that
we
currently
have.
It
is
a
blessing
and
a
curse.
E
The
fact
that
the
Rio
Grande
is
very
affordable
in
terms
of
treating
water
right
now,
City
Laredo
treats
water
for
just
under
a
dollar
per
thousand,
as
treatment
costs
before
puts
it
out
for
distribution
treated
water
at
our
quality,
delivered
to
the
City
of
Laredo
on
the
secondary
source.
Back
in
2007,
when
the
council
member
got
to
say,
I
was
on
the
council
with
me,
as
well,
was
being
proposed
to
the
city
at
3.21
cents
per
thousand,
it's
three
times
the
current
cost
of
production.
E
We
did
an
extensive
analysis
of
your
system,
everything
from
the
water
treatment
plants
to
your
distribution
system,
to
your
storage
system,
and
then
your
practices
and
protocols
and
all
of
that's
included
in
in
the
master
plan
study
it's
kind
of
engineerish,
and
but
we
are
planning
to
have
a
workshop
and
we're
going
to
try
to
put
it
in
layman's
service.
So
people
can
really
get
a
good
feel
for
what
the
city's
doing
for
you.
E
We
did
put
in
a
capital
Improvement
plan
the
city's
already
begun
to
execute
that
you'll
see
this
in
the
slideshow
coming
through
and
we're
also
did
a
cursory
study
on
impact
fees.
This
is
something
that's
going
to
impact
all
of
you
all
as
Commissioners
the
city.
Laredo
will
look
at
impact
fees.
The
city
council
has
already
authorized
the
the
city
to
start
putting
together
a
committee
there's
a
certain
set
of
rules
that
you
have
to
follow
that
are
governed
by
the
state
on
impact
fees.
E
The
other
thing
that
we
look
at
that
was
a
big
question
during
the
surveys
and
during
the
building
of
this
master
plan
was
water
rates
and
what
are
the
water
rates
that
Laredo
has
compared
to
other
folks?
Well,
every
year
tml
Texas
municipalique
puts
out
a
water
Wastewater
rate
survey.
They
voluntarily
ask
Community
to
submit
their
information,
not
all
communities
submit.
A
total
of
491
cities
reported
that
they
provide
water
to
service
the
residents.
The
average
cost
of
water
usage
is
5,
000
gallons
in
all
cities.
E
The
cost
of
that
is
52.91
and
the
residential
usage
is
about
six
thousand
six
gallons
in
overall
cities
bear
in
mind.
It
involves
cities
of
2000
population
or
less
up
to
those
above
half
a
million.
So
that's
a
big
big
bucket
and
the
average
is
really
somewhat
skewed,
but
you'll
see
the
City
of
Laredo
somewhere
along
those
averages
water
fees
by
population.
E
This
is
one
of
the
slides
that
was
not
available
to
you
all
when
we
sent
out
the
initial
package,
but
there's
one
that
the
utilities
director
and
some
of
the
members
of
the
utilities
Advisory
Board
wanted
us
to
include
in
this,
because
this
is
part
of
the
education
piece
on
where
we
are
in
rates.
We
are
at
2001
to
350
size
cities.
We
there
are
only
four
cities
that
reported
average
total
customers
of
75
000
8,
000,
average
usage,
31.44
cents
for
five
thousand
gallons
on
average.
E
Now
these
numbers
do
not
reflect
Solid,
Waste,
Environmental
Services,
anything
else.
That's
on
your
bill.
If
you've
ever
seen
your
bill,
it's
got
six
or
seven
other
charges
on
there.
This
is
just
the
cost
of
water
and
you'll.
See
one
for
cost
of
Wastewater
in
here
you'll
see
that
at
ten
thousand
you're
looking
at
approximately
fifty
Seven
dollars,
and
then
the
commercial
side
is
335.66
for
average
in
the
state
and
I
mean
for
for
commuters
that
size
and
then
1139
for
10,
000,
yeah,
200,
000
gallons.
E
In
the
commercial
side,
your
averages
are
down
at
the
bottom.
These
are
some
of
the
details
in
there
you
can
see
the
four
cities
that
kind
of
mirror
us
Plano,
Irving,
Lubbock
and
McKinney
all
with
populations
somewhere.
You
know
close
to
us.
The
I
would
say
the
Irving
and
Lubbock
are
probably
neck
and
neck
in
terms
of
census.
E
The
usages
are
pretty
much
the
same
with
the
exception
of
McKinney,
that's
kind
of
an
outlier
14,
000
gallons
average
use
per
month
per
customer.
That's
quite
big.
The
lowest
rate
on
this
survey
that
was
reported
was
21.11
cents
from
the
City
of
Irving
and
on
the
10
000
gallon
side.
It
was
44.71
on
the
commercial
side,
it
boosts
322
dollars
for
50,
000
gallons
and
a
thousand
ten
and
28
cents
for
200,
000,
gallons
McKinney
and
Plano
respectively.
E
That's
the
question:
how
does
Laredo
compare
the
state
average
is
75?
000
Laredo
has
86
000
total
customers
in
its
residential
system.
The
average
usage
was
about
8
600
for
the
state
Laredos
at
7094.,
we're
we're
a
little
bit
above
everybody
else's
average,
but
not
not
by
far,
not
by
much
with
the
exception
of
McKinney,
for
whatever
reason,
McKinney
has
a
lot
of
water
choosing
average
water
rates.
This
is
the
big
question
everybody
had
for
us
at
the
council
meeting
and
then
again
at
utilities.
E
Well,
how
do
we
compare
to
the
others
in
our
size
cities?
You
can
see
that
we
have
the
lowest
water
rate
for
5,
000
gallons
and
the
lowest
rate
for
10,
000
gallons
on
the
residential
side.
Only
Irving
is
slightly
above
us.
The
rest
are
at
least
ten
dollars
or
more
above.
Where
we
are
McKinney
is
20
more
than
we
do.
The
state
average
is
52.91,
so
we
are
thirty
dollars
less
than
the
state
average
very,
very
affordable
water,
and
there
are
there's
a
slide
in
here
that
was
done
during
the
survey.
E
That's
going
to
talk
about
perceptions
on
the
commercial
side.
Again,
you
can
see
that
the
city
already
is
at
285.
It
is
the
lowest
rate
out
there
for
commercials.
So
if
you're
wanting
to
start
a
big
business
or
big
big
industry,
are
we
just
going
to
say
cheap
water
if
you
get
above
10,
000
gallons,
look
at
the
difference,
we're
half
the
price
of
the
lowest
city
out
there.
E
Now
that
means
that
there's
room
for
for
the
for
for
it
to
go
up,
but
you
don't
want
to
go
up
for
just
the
sake
of
going
on.
You
want
to
go
up
just
because
you
want
to
go
because
you
want
to
tie
it
to
Capital
Improvements
additional
water
acquisition,
anything
that
that
helps
the
community
grow.
That's
why
you
want
to
do
it.
E
You
don't
want
to
do
it
just
to
say
well,
I've
got
500
a
month
that
I'm
leaving
on
somebody's
on
the
table,
because
the
community
is
our
size
of
charging
more
Wastewater
fees
again
average
is
a
customers
is
total.
Total
customers
was
five
thousand
nine.
Seventy
one
again
that's
skewed
because
you
have
populations
of
2000
or
less,
and
then
your
your
average
is
in
rates
45.66
for
five
thousand
and
two
two
hundred
twenty
seven,
forty
five
for
the
commercial
side,
these
communities.
E
Again,
you
can
see
the
number
of
total
customers
is
about
the
same
as
laredo's
and
you'll
see
that
in
comparison
and
their
rates
are
on
average
at
that
clip
of
four
that
are
about
our
size,
39
and
64
for
residential
sewer,
333
and
1104
commercial,
laredo's
average
Wastewater
consumption
we're
in
the
mix
you
can
see,
the
state
average
is
75.
E
The
city
already
uses
about
66
on
average
McKinney
is
slightly
above
us,
Irving
is
below
us
and
then
the
others
you
can
see
are
consuming
have
more
customers
than
we
do
on
average
usage
everybody's
about
the
same,
except
we
are
now
part
of
that
outlier
group,
or
about
8
100.
That
is
again
we're.
We
tend
to
take
in
a
lot
of
Wastewater
in
our
system
McKinney
again
reports,
only
fourteen
thousand
the
state
of
Texas
or
tml
did
not
does
not
make
any
representation
that
these
are
absolutely
100
accurate.
E
We
can,
because
we
got
these
from
the
cities.
We
got
that
from
your
department
from
the
most
recent
audit.
So
we
we
can
say
that
those
are
accurate
numbers,
but
again
that
14
000
just
seems
to
stick
out
there
cost
the
cost
of
Wastewater
for
5,
000
gallons,
and
the
rate
is
25
dollars
and
29
cents.
It
is
about
half
of
McKinney
about
20
less
than
the
state
average.
Only
Irving
has
a
lower
fee
for
Wastewater,
and
when
you
get
the
10
000
gallons,
we
are
still
the
lowest
rate
for
Waste
Water.
E
On
the
commercial
side
you
can,
you
can
see
that
we
are
at
the
bottom
of
the
rung
we
are
about
in
line
with
the
state
average
for
commercial
Wastewater
at
five
thousand
gallons,
and
then
we're
at
430
dollars
for
10
000,
which
is
about
half
the
state
average
and
350
less
than
your
closest
comparison,
which
is
Lubbock.
E
E
Do
you
believe
that
you're
getting
a
good
value
for
your
current
water
Wastewater
rates?
If
no
explain
81
of
the
people
say
yes
on
the
survey
and
only
19
said
no,
but
in
the
comments
holy
cow
I
mean
you
can
see,
sewer
rates
are
much
higher
than
water
and
for
one
person
too
much
we
charge
more
when
it
rains
nasty
water,
I
can't
drink
I'm.
So
rich
too
there
there
were
some
that
were
more
explicit
than
this,
so
we
left
those
out,
but
both.
E
The
survey
is
available
in
English
and
Spanish,
and
so
we
had
some
of
those
come
in
by
and
large.
One
of
the
biggest
challenges
utilities
has
is
the
perception
that
its
water
system
is
not
prepared
for
the
future,
and
it's
not
currently
meeting
current
demands
and
that
for
the
bang
for
buck,
the
citizens
are
not
getting
a
good
value.
D
E
Yes,
you
want
to
ask
questions.
Can
you
come
back?
Let
me
just
finish
and
then
we
can
come
back
over
the
slides.
The
other
part
of
this
that
is
really
critical
to
you
all,
and
one
of
the
reasons
we're
here
tonight
is
that
you're
going
to
have
to
be
faced
with
water
impact
fees.
At
some
point,
water,
Wastewater
impact
fees-
the
city
may
as
well
take
up
at
that
time.
Other
impact
fees
like
Solid,
Waste,
environmental,
police
and
fire
protection.
E
All
those
things
can
be
involved
or
incorporated
into
a
impact
rate,
study
impact,
your
rate
study
and
then
assigned
versus
annexation
fees.
That's
way
the
city
currently
takes
in
those
fees
is
through
annexation,
eventually,
hopefully,
entertainment
through
impact
fees,
which
are
governed
by
the
state
impact
fees,
are
not
governed
by
the
local
municipality.
The
rules
on
how
you
use
that
money
are
governed
by
the
state,
so
a
lot
of
developers,
a
lot
of
Engineers
who
are
building
in
areas
like
you
mentioned
in
your
comments
during
the
last
meeting
out
at
the
edge
of
the
system.
E
Nor
are
they
restricted
to
those
projects,
so
impact
fees
changes
that
some
and
boxes
those
in
so
that
as
that
development
grows,
there's
money
is
available
to
address
those
impacts
to
that
system
and
a
portion
of
those
go
back
to
to
address
issues
to
the
core
system
How
concerned.
Are
you
with
laredo's
water?
E
Water
needs
70,
no
30,
yes,
out
of
sight
out
of
mind
as
long
as
we
don't
have
a
boil
water
notice,
as
long
as
the
water
is
still
flowing
from
your
TAP,
no
one
seems
to
worry
about
the
future
of
water
in
Laredo
the
minute
the
water
goes
bad
or
you
have
to
shut
down
your
pipes,
everybody's
in
uproar.
The
survey
was
taken,
probably
six
months
after
the
the
the
first
bull
water
notice
we
had
that
year
and
since
then
we
had
two
subsequent
water
notices.
E
The
survey
was
available
for
them
to
take
and
come
in
and
and
we
published
it
ask
people
to
come
in
and
make
comment
during
those
periods
and
still
nobody
came
in
and
said
much
and
we
wound
up
with
70
of
people
saying
they're
not
really
concerned
with
the
way
those
water
needs.
Do
you
feel
like
the
city
is
made
sufficient
investment
in
its
water
resources
and
the
population?
E
No,
that's
one
place
where
getting
information
out
to
the
community
about
what
the
city
is
doing.
The
fact
that
you
guys
issued
87
million
dollars
in
bonds
last
year
for
infrastructure,
no
one
seems
to
know
that
that's
happening
so
a
little
bit
of
a
disconnect.
E
Again
on
this
potential
water
impact
fee,
there
are
some
comparisons
that
we've
made
if
we
were
to
charge
an
impact
fee
and
did
the
50
of
the
maximum
allowable
the
city's
impact
fees
would
be
well
above
seventy
five
hundred
dollars
for
every
lot
that
you
bring
on.
You
can
see
how
much
less
those
others
are
again.
That's
only
based
on
a
formula.
It
says
this
is
the
the
needs
of
the
community
in
terms
of
CIP.
E
This
is
a
a
factor
that
they
use
and
then
that
equals
the
maximum
allowed.
We
cut
it
in
half
and,
and
still
it
was
well
above
what
the
city
currently
charges
and
will
above
what
everybody
else
charges.
So
there's
gonna
in
that
discussion
with
the
impact
advisory
committee
you'll
have
to
come
up
with
a
a
fee
that
works
for
everybody
and
allows
for
development
to
continue.
E
The
city
currently
has
about
160
million
dollars
on
its
credit
card,
so
to
speak
available.
When
we
talk
about
the
amount
of
money
at
the
very
top
you
see,
which
is
163
at
the
top,
that
is
under
its
current
rate
structure,
the
city
can
borrow
up
to
163
million
dollars
to
do
projects.
So
we
prioritize
those
projects
on
this
list
for
the
city.
E
It's
part
of
the
master
plan
and
in
2022
in
October
we
issued
87
million
in
the
city
issued
87
million
dollars
to
begin
the
first
eight
projects
you
see
on
that
list
biggest
amongst
those
is
number
two
is
everybody
remembers?
There
was
a
water
line
that
broke
that
half
the
city
was
out
of
water
for
for
several
days,
that
project
has
already
been
half
of
the
project
has
already
been
designed
and
is
out
for
bid
for
construction
within
the
next
week
or
so
in
record
time.
Typically,
those
take
a
little
longer.
E
The
other
half
of
that
project,
which
is
on
the
west
side
of
zacate
Creek,
goes
all
the
way
back
to
the
Jefferson
water
treatment
plant.
That's
also
under
design
already,
and
that
should
come
in
shortly
thereafter
that
one's
going
to
take
longer
because
you
have
to
cross
the
creek
Army
Corps
of
engineer.
You
have
to
cross
35
text
Dot
and
you
have
to
cross
the
railroad.
E
You
have
to
go
through
the
railroad
as
well,
so
those
are
going
to
take
longer,
but
the
most
critical
portion
of
that
is
in
that
section
that
is
east
of
zakata
Creek.
That's
where
you
had
your
water
line
break
and
that's
where
you
have
a
line
that
is
60
years
old
and
has
broken
a
few
other
times,
but
the
utilities
department
did
a
phenomenal
job
and
you
never
knew
that
that
your
going
through
the
very
same
thing
you
did
last
last
year
when
you
had
that
water
line
break
okay.
E
Why
does
South
Laredo
have
such
an
issue
with
water
when
growing?
Why
is
Alpharetta
always
get
impacted?
The
infrastructure
in
South
Laredo
is
actually
relatively
new.
It's
almost
as
new
as
everything
in
North
Laredo.
The
developers
go
in
and
they
put
in
new
water
lines,
new
fire
hydrants
new
Wastewater
lines.
They
put
everything
in
there.
They
contribute
to
the
transmission
lines,
the
computer,
elevated
storage
tanks.
E
All
of
that
happens
that
so
South
Florida
looks
pretty
good
and
if
you
look
at
this
heat
map
that
we
have,
you
can
see
down
in
South
Florida
as
you
get
further
south
there
really
not
a
lot
of
problems
out
there.
But
if
you
take
a
look
at
that
core
part
of
the
city,
which
is
the
eastern
and
western
division
of
the
city,
the
oldest
parts,
that's
where
your
oldest
infrastructure
is
and
guess
where
your
water
plant
is
63
million.
E
Gallon
capacity
water
plant
is
at
Jefferson
and
it
has
to
Traverse
all
of
that
aging
infrastructure
to
get
to
South
Laredo.
So
that's
your
first
biggest
problem.
You
have
great
water,
you
have
a
great
water
treatment
plant
with
excess
capacity,
but
you
can't
get
it
out
there
because
it's
running
across
these
old
old
lines,
so
that
is
the
first
Focus.
Those
36
inch
line.
There's
a
24
inch
line
that
was
on
this
list
on
the
capital
Improvement.
That's
on
there.
E
There
are
Bartlett
to
to
Mohawk
to
Bartlett,
basically
doing
another
loop
to
bring
water
in
from
the
north
to
help
prevent
those
types
of
things
from
happening
in
the
future.
There
are
considerations
to
retrofit
Hendrix,
which
is
at
the
old
Mercy
hospital
and
maybe
bring
those
tanks
back
online.
There's
still
some
discussions
on
where
that
goes,
but
that
is
your
biggest
challenge.
Getting
good,
clean
water
from
here
to
this
point
here.
So
a
lot
of
your
infrastructure
improvements
are
going
to
take
place
in
this
area.
E
Here,
you'll
see
a
large
investment
from
the
city
in
this
area
to
help
prevent
that
now.
Does
that
mean
that
South
Laredo
doesn't
have
any
infrastructure
projects
going?
No,
they
do
they've
got
quite
a
bit
coming
in
future
issuances,
which
will
be
done
probably
2024
2025,
and
the
last
portion
of
this
will
be
2027.
again.
Bear
in
mind
that
this
is
the
amount
of
money
you
currently
have
is
163
million.
You
have
a
390
million
dollar
Capital
Improvement
plan,
that's
proposed
by
the
water
master
plan.
E
E
There
are
some
pending
tasks
that
come
out
of
the
water
master
plan.
The
request
for
interest
payments
for
secondary
water
were
issued
last
month
and
the
schedule
will
close
on
the
18th.
We
got
several
responses
so
now
the
city
is
going
to
begin
to
negotiate
with
those
folks
who
are
interested
in
selling
us
water.
E
You
have
to
have
an
impact
fee
discussion,
a
planning
period
for
that
is
20
20
through
30
2033.
It
encompasses
a
10-year
CIP
with
land
assumptions
that
you
all
produce
this
commission
produces.
You
have
right
now
about
303
million
dollars
in
eligible
Improvement
projects
that
you
could
bring.
Twenty
thousand
UK
projected
increase
of
subsurface
utility
engineering.
The
eligible
cost
divided
by
the
Sioux,
gives
you
Maximum
Impact
fee
you
have
a
maximum
fee
of
15.
238
is
way
above
what
you
charge
now
for
annexation.
E
I
mean
you
all
see
that
every
day
when
you
come
in
here
when
people
have
to
bring
in
letters
of
credit
and
things
of
that
nature,
they're
covering
annexation
fees
and
plotting
fees
and
things
of
that
nature,
all
of
this
will
be
discussed
in
that,
and
some
folks
have
already
been
appointed
that
to
to
be
able
to
have
the
impact
study
and
propose
an
impact
fee.
You
have
to
go
through
the
development
of
the
assumptions
which
is
already
done
in
a
proposed
impact
fee.
We
have
that
there
is
a
public
hearing
on
this.
E
That's
already
been
had,
and
now
the
The
Next
Step,
no
I'm,
sorry.
This
is
coming
and
then
there's
an
appointment
of
an
advisory
committee.
That's
already
taken
place,
so
folks
have
already
been
appointed.
You
have
30
days
for
the
committee
to
approve
the
assumptions,
have
a
second
public
hearing
and
then
come
back
and
adopt
the
ordinance
city
council
would
like
us
to
have
this
done
before
budget
so
that
they
can
decide
whether
they
need
to
increase
rates.
Add
this
to
the
development
communities
rates
as
they
change
their
schedules.
So
all
that's
coming
forward.
D
So
I'm
interested
in
talking
about
the
looping
projects,
it
looks
like
in
the
water
master
plan
draft
there's
about
there's
over
a
hundred
million
allocated
just
to
sort
of
fix
those
looping
concerns
around
the
city,
so
as
part
of
the
Planning
and
Zoning
commission
I'm
interested
in
seeing
how
we
can
plan
for
the
future
to
avoid
the
exactly
the
type
of
development.
That
is.
D
My
understanding
led
us
to
have
several
Coral
water
notices
in
the
past
couple
years,
where
the
water
sort
of
sits
stagnant
in
certain
areas
of
the
city
because
of
usage
and
because
the
lines
were
not
moved.
So
how
can
what's
your
advice
to
us
as
a
commission
of
what
we
should
be
thinking
about
and
looking
at,
when
you
know
the
city
continues
to.
D
E
I'm
not
going
to
give
you
my
opinion,
because
that's
not
my
not
my
place.
That's
not
my
role,
I'm,
basically
giving
you
the
information
that
the
engineers
are
putting
out
here,
but
what
they
have
suggested
as
time
goes
on,
that
the
city
again
engage
in.
You
know
going
out
and
looping
the
existing
lines,
as
new
development
comes
on,
the
utilities
department
may
be
requiring
developers
to
to
provide
that
looping
in
those
particular
areas
where
everything
is
Dead.
E
Ending
part
of
the
reason
why
you
have
the
issues
with
with
consumption
is
that
the
system
was
extended
as
a
requirement
to
meet
legislation
that
was
past
20
30
years
ago
to
provide
water
to
the
Colonials,
and
in
that
we
were
asked
to
bring
not
just
a
small
line
for
people
to
get
water
but
large
lines
and
put
fire
hydrants,
and
so
now
you
have
a
large
infrastructure
out
there
that
can
provide
water
to
a
very
large
community,
no
one
to
buy
it.
E
Yes,
you
took
care
of
the
poor
folks
in
the
colonias
who
were
victims
of
poor
development,
but
now
you
have
a
system
that
is
in
Peril
every
single
week
and
I'll
have
not
to
come
up
and
visit
with
you
a
little
bit,
because
his
particular
project
was
water
quality,
making
sure
that
we
didn't
have
any
electrification
that,
with
the
system
didn't
get
any
more
water
notices,
all
those
things
nachos
able
to
take
care
of
with
his
group
and
worked
with
staff
to
to
flush
lines.
And
obviously
you
don't
want
to
flush
lines.
E
That's
good,
clean
water,
that's
putting
down
the
drain,
but
it
is
going
into
the
Creeks.
It
is
going
out
to
the
Rio
Grande.
Eventually
there
is
some
benefit
of
it
and
there
are
some
projects
that
we've
suggested
to
council
that
potentially
they
could
take
to
not
let
the
water
just
hit
the
ground
and
go
somewhere,
but
in
the
interim
you
need
to
have
it
unless
you
moved
water.
E
So,
unfortunately,
if
you
stop
development
in
those
areas,
you
will
never
get
to
a
point
where
you
can
cure
that
because,
as
as
those
developers
into
the
system,
they
are
basically
paying
for
the
looping
that
you
want
the
rest
of
the
taxpayers
to
pay.
For.
So
that's
a
good
opportunity
for
you
to
look
at
those
places
and
say
how
do
we
incentivize
people
to
tie
into
those
dead-end
areas?
E
Maybe
the
city
creates
the
loop
and
then
allows
for
projects
to
go
forward
in
those
areas
and
gets
a
developer
to
chip
in
on
some
of
the
infrastructure.
That's
required.
So
you
don't
have
this
issue
again.
Also,
the
the
way
the
the
planes
are.
Basically
the
way
the
water
is
segregated
right
now,
your
the
city
is
currently
working
very
diligently
to
find
ways
to
keep
that
water
moving
and
keep
it
tree,
keep
it
in
in
good
standing,
it's
a
difficult
job.
E
H
Ignacino
also
with
our
Dura
engineering
for
the
record.
So
as
he
was
saying,
we
have
a
system.
Now
we
have
a
dashboard
of
water
quality
dashboard
where
we
monitor
33
points
out
of
the
distribution
system
daily.
So
we
have
access
to
that
management.
Has
access
to
that
utilities,
department,
multiple
people,
so
we're
always
looking
at
the
water
quality
at
any
given
point
in
time
of
the
day.
H
So
when,
when
there
is
issues,
it's
a
live
system
right,
there's
low
demand
in
some
areas,
there's
high
demand,
so
anyways
we're
just
trying
to
address
that
sometimes
through
flushing
chemical
boosting
is
another
Tech
that
we
use
specifically
on
the
on
the
looping
the
lines.
My
recommendation
and
I
see
some
other
colleagues.
H
Here
is
just
putting
some
thought
on
the
engineering
side,
putting
some
thought
into
where
the
developer
developments
are
heading
to
either
leave
the
easements
there
to
be
able
to
Loop
the
line
in
the
future
when
the
future
phases
come
in,
but
again
just
having
the
thought
that
you
know
foresight
of
okay.
What's
coming
right
and
not
just
leaving
it
and
I'll
tell
you,
we
have
about
probably
2
000
dead
ends,
but
fees
of
feasibility
wise.
We
could
probably
only
Loop
10
of
those
whether
it
be
money,
money,
land
issues.
H
You
know
it's
just
we
can't
fix,
what's
been
done,
but
we
just
can
look
into
the
future.
I
think
if
the
utilities
department
works
with
the
planning
department,
the
developers
I
think
that
that
thought.
You
know
that
thought
process
can
be.
You
know,
taking
into
consideration
just
make
sure
that
everything
moving
forward
is,
is
looped
and
we
don't
have
stagnant
water.
At
that
end,.
I
H
I
I
H
You
mean
in
terms
of
checking
water
quality.
Oh
yes!
So
what
we
do
and
the
thought
before
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
check
every
every
location
right.
So
we
pick
locations
across
the
system
that
is
representative
of
the
water
quality
in
that
area.
Right.
H
Based
on
a
guessing
game,
it's
based
on
on
data
right
Based
on
data,
so
we
have,
for
example,
it
we
checked
out
at
each
booster
station,
elevated
storage
tanks.
So
we
have
13
of
those
sites
right
then
we
go
out,
say:
San
Ysidro.
We
have
one
location
there
and
we
we
track
before
three
or
four
sites
there,
but
we
saw
that
the
water
quality
was
was
pretty
stable
in
that
area,
and
it
was
one
point,
was
representative
of
everything
else.
H
So
we
reduced
the
amount
of
monitoring
that
area
and
we
focused
we,
we
relocate
those
other
points
to
another
area
of
town.
One
was
I,
can
tell
you
Lakeside
as
well.
We
used
to
not
before
2021
we
were
now
looking
at
lakeside.
Lakeside
is
one
of
those
areas
that
has
dead
ends.
It's
the
farthest
point
in
the
system,
so
we
relocated
one
Point
to
to
check
that
the
water
quality
was
good
every
day
and
that
it
was
again
representative
of
the
whole
area.
So
it's
in
the
future,
you
know.
E
It
it
really
is
a
moving
Target
as
a
dresser
issues
and
they're
able
to
bring
technology
repaired
in
some
cases
or
the
system
itself
is
stabilizing
because
of
new
development.
They're
going
to
continue
to
move
those.
Those
testing
points
to
keep
tracking
making
sure
that
the
system
stays
at
Optimum.
H
I
will
say,
as
far
as
water
quality
and
big
kudos
to
the
utility
department
I've
gone
before
Council.
The
last
water
bottle
due
to
water
quality
was
in
in
July
of
2021.,
but
there
hasn't
been
any
water
quality
issues
since
and
a
lot
of
it
has
been
because
of
their
dedication
and
and
they
they
work
around
the
clock
on
that,
so
we're
only
helping
them
but
they're
doing
all
the
work.
So
as
far
as
water
quality
goes,
I
just
want
to
take
this.
H
You
know
audience
and
say
that
it's
it's
been
turned
around.
There's
still
work
to
do,
but
there's
no
concerns
at
this
moment
with
regards
to
water
quality.
F
C
H
E
One
more
one
more
thing
if
I
may
add
to
that
just
because
I'm
in
ardora
and
the
city
cities,
utility
staff
has
done
such
a
great
job
that
they're
very
close
to
having
a
superior
water
quality
rating,
which
is
what
tcq
gives
you
part
of
that
is
curing
all
of
your
past
issues.
Any
violations
you
may
have
had
anything.
That's
been
standing
that
hasn't
been
resolved,
plus
adopting
processes,
procedures,
protocols
for
the
future
and
tcq
the
last
time
they
were
here.
E
They
wrote
a
glowing
letter
about
how
well
the
city
has
done,
since
that
Bluewater
numbers
have
took
place
in
2021,
so
kudos
to
their
staff
at
urdura
and
also
yeah
everybody
from
want
to
throw
it
all
the
way
down
to
the
last
guy
turns
the
valve
every
morning.
Those
guys
are
doing
a
really
really
good
job,
underpaid,
undervalued,
they're,
just
good
people.
Thank
you.
J
Well,
I
just
want
to
say
first
of
all
that
I'm
excited
that
this
is
the
situation
has
been
critical
for
some
time
now
and
we
can
assume
it's
going
to
continue
to
be
a
problem
with
climate
change
and
everything
we
are
facing.
So
it's
great
that
I
hear
that
you've
been
doing
some
Outreach,
but
I
think
it's
important
that
the
community
is
aware
of
this
and
that
they
know
what
it's
coming
for
them
as
well.
J
So
when
you
talk
about
doing
Outreach
and
getting
like
over
a
thousand
responses,
where
are
you
doing
the
Outreach?
Is
the
survey
translated
or
because,
even
though
I
know
how
hard
it
is
to
get
people
to
respond
to
surveys,
still
a
thousand
it's
less
than
one
percent
of
our
population?
And
my
second
question
is:
if
this
master
plan
is
going
to
come
with
any
considerations
for
maybe
conservation
strategies
and
maybe
also
partnering
with
different
organizations
for
grain
infrastructure,
because
I
mean
that's
truly
a
very
good
way
of
dealing
with
storm
water
discharge.
E
Chairman
those
are
all
valid
points
and
really
hats
off
to
your
team.
Over
at
utilities.
They
have
somebody
specifically
who
addresses
all
of
the
water
use
issues
in
terms
of
conservation,
Miss,
Ayala
Vivian
over
who's
stationed
over
at
the
water
Museum.
She
does
a
phenomenal
job
of
going
into
the
schools
and
teaching
kids
on
on
how
to
you
know,
conserve
water,
how
to
protect
the
water
system,
but
not
by
not
flushing
wipes
into
your
Wastewater
system
or
flushing
grease
into
your
Wastewater
system
or
down
your
sink.
E
All
those
things
are
being
handled
at
such
a
great
level.
If
you
ever
look
at
your
programs,
they
are
phenomenal
and
they're
still
working
on
them.
They
do
a
really
good
job.
They
built
a
brand
new
website,
Laredo
utilities.com,
that's
a
brand
new
website
that
is
easy
to
navigate,
has
a
lot
of
information
on
there
easy
to
find.
E
However,
it's
a
two-edged
sword
when
it
comes
to
conservation.
The
city
of
Royals
utility
department
is
a
business.
It
needs
to
generate
Revenue,
so
it
can
pay
for
future
expansion
for
future
maintenance.
All
those
things
the
more
you
conserve,
the
less
money
you
bring
in,
so
it's
got
a
careful
balance
on
how
we
do
that
and
I
know
that
in
our
recommendations
they
are
looking
at
potential
water
rate
increases
that
down
the
road-
maybe
not
next
year,
maybe
not
next
year,
but
maybe
the
year
after
that
we
don't
know
yet.
E
That's
all
I
mean
it's
a
very
Dynamic
plan
because,
as
things
are
happening
right
now,
primarily
from
the
development
communities
in
the
audience
they're
bringing
on
new
new
projects
that
were
recognized
as
a
master
plan,
we
went
to
the
planning
zone
and
we
had
to
send
us
all
of
their
Master
plans
so
that
we
could
isolate
the
areas
of
growth
and
prepare
for
future
growth.
But
unfortunately
the
more
you
save
on
water,
the
less
redness
that
he
gets
and
I
know
that
the
perception
is
well.
E
If
you
save
it,
we'll
have
more
water,
not
so
because
we,
unlike
San
Antonio
in
Austin,
there's
no
place
to
store
it
here.
Part
of
our
study.
We
went
out
look
at
what's
called
ASR
aquifer,
storage
and
Recovery.
There's
no
place
to
pump
the
water
that
we
own,
because
we
don't
use
it
all
every
year.
Remember
we
have
an
excess
right.
Now,
water
we
produce
approximately.
E
You
can
take
them
and
put
them
into
a
lake
or
some
other
facility,
but
just
don't
have
any
in
this
area,
and
we
looked
at
some
of
the
aquifers
that
were
in
this
area
and
they
were
just
too
porous
or
they
they
were
unable
to
have
the
recovery
rates
that
we
would
need.
But
again,
yes,
something
that's
that's
factored
into
this.
E
The
state
mandates
a
lot
of
those
things
for
us
to
to
continue
to
promote
water
conservation,
and
you
can
see
that
we're
somewhere
kind
of
in
the
mix
on
average,
with
consumption
per
capita
I
wanted
to
say
that
Vivian
told
me
earlier
today.
It's
about
135,
gallons
per
capita
per
person
on
a
daily
use,
so
I
mean
I'm.
E
Yes,
they
lose
so
in
terms
of
Outreach.
During
the
pandemic,
I
was
really
difficult
to
get
people
to
respond
and
the
more
we
not
because
people
weren't
in
a
position
to
to
see
it.
They
were
at
home
for
the
most
part
on
their
phones
going
to
Facebook
going
to
LinkedIn,
Twitter
and
everybody
else,
because
it
couldn't
go
anywhere.
But
so
is
everybody
else,
and
so
the
mass
amount
of
information
and
things
are
going
on
online
buried.
Some
of
these
opportunities
for
us
taking
information.
E
This
master
plan
will
go
on
the
road
again
as
a
workshop
and
we'll
probably
have
some
more
opportunities
for
people
to
give
input.
But
the
survey
shut
down
back
in
2020
2022
just
last
year,
at
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year
in
September
that
we
closed
down
the
survey,
we
still
have
a
component
that
we'd
like
to
to
put
out
at
some
point.
We
had
asked
folks
to
fill
out
the
survey
we
have
all
the
information
for
them
and
anybody
who
participated
would
be
entered
into
a
drawing
for
a
television.
E
Well,
we've
got
10
TVs
that
we
need
to
give
out
to
somebody,
but
we're
waiting
for
the
master
plan
to
finish.
Take
this
thing
out
on
the
road
and
then
be
able
to
maybe
have
a
drawing
here
at
Council
where
they
can
choose
the
winners
of
those
District
Seven
by
the
way
had
the
highest
participation
in
the
survey
asterisk
seven
I
mean
and
councilman.
That
is
her
credit.
She
was
out
there
shaking
the
bushes
to
make
sure
people
today.
H
It
when,
when
a
public
figure,
when
when
someone
is
active
on
social
media
likes
it
because
you
go
to
today's
department
and
sometimes
the
only
like
there
is
it's
I
like
that,
I
go
in
there.
So.
E
Mr
chairman,
the
other
issue
related
to
that
is
that
the
city
spends
a
significant
amount
of
its
its
budget
in
promotional
budget
at
utilities,
go
into
the
schools
and
and
trying
to
educate
everyone
on
on
water
and
and
the
necessity
to
preserve
it
and
protect
the
river
through
both
environmental
and
utilities.
And
so
it's
a
big
component
but
you're
right
it,
the
more.
We
can
get
it
out
the
better.
J
I
would
just
add
like
if
you
are
in
need
of,
like
Outreach
I'm
sure
you
know
the
radio
is
a
great
way
of
printing
things,
because
sometimes
the
digital
divide,
it's
a
real
issue
with
some
communities,
so
just
print
out
like
a
QR
code,
like
you
said,
like
new
generations
are
very
tech,
savvy
and
I
would
say
like
Drop
it,
the
community,
centers
libraries,
so
more
people
that
may
not
have
their
own
device
could
have
access
to
those
things.
E
So
we
can
take
it
all
on
the
road.
The
Wastewater
will
both
the
integrate,
the
entire
integrated
plan.
Then,
at
that
point,.
B
You
thank
you,
so
Mr
chairman
I
think
that
it's
important
that,
when
these
kind
of
reports
are
done,
that
we
have
them
come
through
the
planning
zoning
commission
so,
like
you
said
as
soon
as
they
finish
with
the
sewer,
we'll
have
that
presentation
brought
to
you
also
definitely.
A
Let
the
record
show
that
commission
sci-fi
showed
up
at
605.
Yes,.
A
We're
going
to
move
on

I'm

then
just
let

know.
A
This

Anybody
else
wishes
to

Anybody
who

D
Sure
so
in
this
type
of
permit,
could
it
be
that
we
give
the
permit
only
to
the
specific
restaurant
or
why
is
it
in
the
images
that
like
it
covers
the
entire
lot.
D
A
Second,
all
in
favor,
I
think

review
of
the
revision
of
the
sapphire
Industrial
Park
master
plan,
formerly
known
as
Emerald
Industrial
Park
master
plan.
The
intent
is
industrial.
The
purpose
of
this
revision
is
to
reconfigure
phases
and
remove
acreage
former
phase
four.
U
X
You
good
evening,
Mr
chairman
members
of
the
commission,
Ricardo
Via,
Real
topside
civil
group
representing
the
applicant.
You
concur
with
staff's
comments.
There
is
a
to
change
to
the
master
plan.
The
previously
named
master
plan,
Emerald
Emerald,
Industrial,
Park
master
plan,
encompasseded
more
acreage.
X
So
as
far
as
the
master
plan
approval
we're
going
to
go
back
to
the
original
acreage,
because
really
the
only
thing
that
changed
was
a
phasing
one
of
the
phases
got
cut
in
half,
so
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
and
emulate
the
the
the
original
master
plan
and
just
to
give
you
a
visual
is
this
was
the
original.
X
Bugs
are
going
tires
down.
This
was
the
original
master
plan
back
approved
back
in
January,
2nd
2020..
This
is
the
same
one
that
we
submitted
to
planning
after
discussions
with
the
owner
and
the
planning
department.
They
wanted
just
the
original
acreage
to
be
put
back
in
the
only
thing
that
changed
was
the
original
phase.
Three
was
split
in
half
other
than
that.
There
are
no
changes
to
the
original
master
plan.
X
In
the
original
master
plan
there
is
a
entrance,
that's
already
constructed
off,
of
Mines
Road
across
green
Ranch,
yes,
and
then
it
goes.
It
goes
down.
Let
me
give
you
a
the
bird's
eye
view
here.
X
K
X
Now
the
intent-
and
this
mainly
a
question
for
planning
but
River
Roads
I-
think
going
to
be
mainly
a
it's
not
going
to
be
a
truck
route,
so
it's
just
to
have
secondary
yeah
yeah,
but
this
is
as
the
way
it's
the
way
it
was
approved.
September
2nd
2020.,
like
I,
said
no
changes
to
that
other
than
a
phasing
change.
X
Yes,
we'll
I
will
add
to
that
Tia.
B
Because
because
the
River
Road
was
brought
up,
we
understand
that
the
the
group
that's
doing
the
design
they
have
the
layout
and
that
they're
they're
getting
ready
to
present.
So
that's
another
presentation
that
you'll
be
receiving
once
that
that.
T
Yes,
so
I
just
wanted
to
add
so
in
light
up,
some
of
the
information
that
is
presented
by
by
the
eager
deer
today
about
the
adding
back
of
some
of
that
acreage
I
would
just
if
it
could
be
possible
in
the
motion
just
to
be
fully
recognized
that
they
are
adding
that
acreage
back
to
go
back
to
the
yes
he's
modifying
some
of
the
phasing
on
the
on
the
industrial
part,
but
just
to
refer
that
it
does
tie
back
to
the
original
from
January
of
blank
blank.
D
A
X
Civil
group
representing
the
owner,
we
just
have
one
clarification
on
the
traffic
comment
where
it
says:
phase
two
should
be
plotted
before
phase
one
I
think
the
phase
two,
if
you
see
it
on
the
Shaded
area,
is
the
one
that
abuts
the
roadways.
X
However,
in
phase
one
we
are
going
to
build,
you
can
see
the
access
easement
that
accesses
off
of
cuatro
Vientos,
also
wormser
Road,
and
so
in
phase
one
that
access
easement
is
included,
so
we'll
be
building
the
road
in
phase
one
and
then
phase
two
would
come
after
with
the
road
already
be
built
in
there.
So
just
to
clarify
that
note
on
on
traffic.
X
K
X
Can't
get
it
yes,
it
looks

Yes,

building

get
to.

He's
here
to
discuss
the
project,
I
concur
with
staff's
comments.
I
just
want
to
give
PNG
and
the
members
of
the
commission
an
update
as
per
discussions
with
the
planning
department.
You
know
the
big
powwow
meetings
that
we
have,
the
the
the
original
plat
had
two
cul-de-sacs
in
an
effort
to
continue
access
to
our
neighboring
properties.
X
He
came
to
agreement
to
extend
wisdom
Boulevard
to
the
north,
to
connect
to
the
north
line
so
that
the
adjacent
neighbors
can
come
in
and
continue
that
road
or
they
themselves
have
a
better
way
out
of
this
area.
X
Well,
the
variance
was
for
the
cul-de-sacs
because
they're
longer
than
500
feet,
so
the
variance
so
the
variance
stays
for
this
one
cul-de-sac.
X
B
Really,
looking
at
the
future
to
be
able
to
get
the
truck
from
that
area
up
and
out
and
then
come
back
around,
because
if
they
come
straight
down
they're
right
by
the
bridge,
we
already
have
that
problem
today,
yeah.
So
we
just
want
to
make
sure
we
had
a
road
going
I'm
going
to
call
that
North
for
Just
Right
content
purposes.
But
then
we
can.
We
can
connect
and
get
them
to
go
out
and
come.

B
We're
just
helping
out
a
constituents
director's
report,
so
I
know
I
was
to
bring
the
checklist,
but
I
thought
it
was
important
to
bring
the
water
presentation
first.
So
we'll
have
the
the
checklist
presentations.
You'll
see
you
can
see
what
needs
to
be
turned
in
by
an
engineer
we'll
have
that
going.
We
spoke
to
legal
with
Amber,
so
there's
discussion
about
lobbyists
and
what
that
is
and
how
that
impacts
you
all.
So
we
asked
Amber
if
she
could
come
to
our
office,
so
she
can
explain
it
to
us
there
is.
B
We
do
have
in
our
ordinance
that
there
can
be
lobbyists,
but
they
have
to
register
so
and
a
lobbyist
if
they
register
they're
allowed
to
reach
out
to
you
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
in
any,
if
they're
not
registered
they're,
not
supposed
to
reach
out
to
you,
so
we're
just
going
to
try
to
clear
the
air
on
that,
so
that
we're
all
on
the
same
page,
because
I
too,
wanted
to
understand
how
that
works.
But
this
came
up
during
the
city.
The
last
city
council
meeting,
so
I
thought
I'd
bring
that
to
you.
B
Hopefully,
Amber
can
have
something
that
she
could
present
to
you
all
from
the
legal
department,
if
not
I'll
ask
Mr
adelondo
to
help
out
with
that,
but
just
to
clear
the
air.
So
you
understand
how
that
would
impact
you
when
it
comes
to
an
open
meetings,
violation
or
of
sorts
so
we'll
be
bringing
that
to
you.
B
Absolutely
and
then
to
let
you
know
who
can
contact
you,
you
know
so
we'll
we'll
go
over,
that
you
see
that
the
I
mean
this
is
a
small
thing,
but
city
council
has
asked
us
to
go
bigger
with
those
yellow
signs
that
you
see
so
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
have
to
go
Biggers
and
we'll
probably
bring
you
the
samples
that
you
you
can
see
that,
and
then
there
was
discussion
about
that.
B
The
we
do
a
200
foot,
radius,
mail
out
comments
were
that
we're
not
getting
people
to
respond
or
or
that
we
might
have
to
go
larger.
You
know
larger,
that's
something
that
we're
considering
doing,
maybe
going
to
300
feet
just
to
help
out.
That's
that's
something
that
we
could
do
internally,
but
just
because
we're
getting
comments
that
people
aren't
seeing
the
letters
or
we're
not
getting
out
far
enough.
So
we
can
easily
do
that
and
we
could
just
get
more
the
more
addresses
and
send
out.
B
So
that's
something
we're
probably
going
to
do
because,
according
to
council
they're,
seeing
that
we're
getting
so
many
letters
sent
out
to
the
surrounding
Property
Owners
zero
in
favor
of
zero
against
and
you
know
so
they
they
feel.
If
we
go
to
a
broader
area
that
maybe
we
get
some
some
more
feedback,
so
we're
going
to
try
to
do
that.
We'll!
Let
you
all
know
when
we
do
so
that
you're
aware
that
we
started
to
implement
that.
So
that's
all
Mr
chairman,
thank
you.
D
Yes,
I've
gotten
some
questions
from
people
about
the
Del
Mar
overlay
district
and
like
there
are
I
think
there
are
some
rumors
that
it's
going
to
be
like
a
shopping
center
or
a
mall
and
like
people
are
I,
don't
know
I
think
after
the
Workshop
that
they
had,
like
kind
of
you
know
so,.
B
We
had
a
meeting
yesterday
with
the
the
company
able
City
who
was
hired
to
do
the
research
for
us.
B
B
It's
it's
a
presentation.
Then
it
would
have
to
go
to
council.
If
Council
agreed
to
the
overlay,
then
we
have
to
come
back
around
again
and
come
to
you
all
to
hold
on
it
and
then
go
to
council.
So
we
have
some
more
work
to
do,
but
it
in
general
what
it
is
is
we're
trying
to
protect
the
the
Vista
of
the
street,
so
the
overlay.
B
What
we're
trying
to
do
is
protect
it
from
somebody
knocking
down
the
building
and
putting
a
different
building
we'd
like
them
to
let's
say
they
put
an
antique
store,
well
that
they
would
keep
the
Vista
of
the
house
as
is
not
not
knock
it
down
and
put
a
two-story
building
there.
So
it's
it's
just
an
overnight
to
protect
that.
To
maintain
the
Integrity
of
the
house.
Look
so
that
if
it
does
become
a
business
because
we
see
the
traffic
picking
up
and
we
know
it's,
you
know
eventually
my
turn.
B
Somebody
might
be
interested
to
put
something
there,
but
if
a
CPA
firm
Architects
anything
like
that,
if
they
go
in
there
that
they
maintain
the
facade
of
the
of
the
house,
so
that's
what
that
overlay
kind
of
it's
a
backup
for
these
people,
so
that
we
don't
see
because
a
lot
of
people
don't
really
care
for
the
building.
That's
on
the
end,
even
though
that
was
done
legally
and
everything
was
fine,
but
this
is
an
overlay
that
would
protect
that.
So
that's
that's!
B
V
B
He
called
me
he
was
upset
because
I
didn't
return.
The
call-
and
so
I
just
want
to
apologize
here
in
the
meeting
that
that
I
missed
the
call,
but
I
will
stay
on
top
of
that.
