This meeting focused on finalizing the city's capital projects list for submission to the county, with council members weighing two funding options—a parks bond option and a grants option—and discussing the complexities and costs of implementing quiet railroad crossings. The council also reviewed tier 1 and tier 2 project lists, with staff providing conservative cost estimates and emphasizing that unexpected revenue overperformance is typically reallocated to existing tier 1 projects rather than new ones.
Oh 2028 launched. I gotta stand that tall up in my office if you exit yet. Thank you. Okay, then never mind. That's at all. Um you should have two sheets um I named them so a little easier to follow this time. So you have parks bond option, the grants option, and then the last page is the tier two list that I narrowed down a little bit because I took off some of the other projects that moved on to tier one, Atlanta Street, and Orange Street, some of those, I took some of those off. Um, some of the smaller sidewalk projects because I think we can get those done uh individual council members approval for whatever board those in and using going. Um funding or doing small things like that, and listed on tier two, I think we still accomplish things if individual council members are okay, so that's reason. Some of those are all um so I'm narrowed also after the discussion on Monday night. This is kind of finalizing the list as it would look on that would go forward to the county, so I'll take a little descriptions now, project descriptions, and I will those down a little bit, so it's not as descriptive as it was Monday night. I don't know, Mr. Water asking some of the questions about that, so I'm narrowing some of those down. So we've got both options before you didn't answer any questions. So we have a question about the trucks being the house. So you're applying for a park on it. If it's on the projects called needs to be an approval. The parks bond option would be uh maybe just discussions with the mayor uh talking about possibly doing a parts on so that was removing all of the parts uh items that we had on there except for the city hall reservations. So that took all of them off of the list and doing some other rebalancing uh some of the project accounts in order to do the overall budget balance, okay. Left everything else on there except maybe just the minor adjustments to some project transportation project account. Everything else in his balance. And grant options green station. So whatever reason we don't pick the green thing, but it's a project with their green money. If if yeah, if we do not get the grants or we don't get the full grant funding, then that would be brought back before this body to return how you would like to move forward if we have extra funding available, and that'll have to be a decision. This body that we have to make to allocate that extra funding. Wouldn't we try to get the grants no matter which option we choose? We always find it very much. We always always want to grants it. So there's not really a grant. No grant option. No, Mr. Golsen got a seat like no stuff. I think I'm just making sure it's gonna see that. I think that would leave the parks projects on the list. The parks the grants from set. It's not saying that if we choose the grants for not doing the parks bond, it's just it provides the options that send if we don't choose the parks bond and have the projects on the list. If we do the parks bond and something happens, it happens because the project's on this parks bond and passes makes it be declared economically feasible with the funding source and those are the parts to be getting a grants option. Just provide more options. And it provides us a backstop just to my question in this. And we decided it would be no county money. What happened to Ireland? That's one of those sidewalk projects. I think we're going to do that. Okay. Right. Okay. So we can't do the funding first. Also, it's still Washington. It's just the point of the north. Then you go all the way down to Rosemary Street.
