Yeah, I'm gonna be swatting that flat if I hit you during the meeting. Sorry. Microphones on everybody. Okay, good deal. Good evening. I'm now I'll now call the work session for the City of Richmond Hills to order. At 5 31 p.m. We'll begin by discussing items listed on tonight's city council agenda. No formal action will be taken during the work session. Each action item will be considered during the regular session. Jason, is there anything you'd like to talk to the council about on these or call our attention to? So I will bring your attention to the final new business item, which is the TERS dissolution. And I can uh reiterate this during that time in case the public um wants to if they're not here today or until that point. Um but that does require an ordinance for the Texas tax code, not a resolution. So that's my fault. I drafted a resolution. Um it's gonna be an ordinance, it doesn't impact the the timing of things from a financial standpoint, but we do need to not take action on that item. Don't even table it, just we'll withdraw the item um when we get to that, and then we'll bring it back as an ordinance. Okay. That's the only thing, Mayor, that I have to regular. Yes, sir. Thank you, Mayor. Good evening, council. So we do have uh an infrastructure meeting that was um that took place this morning and we had a good conversation about our projects and the process that we put together for you for the five-year plan. There is a uh a public hearing just to have public input um on the plan later on part of the session. You can vote to take action on adopting the plan, or you can wait until a future uh date as well as simultaneous with the budget adoption. But just to let you know that there will be an additional item later on the agenda. So what we looked at if you recall uh a couple months ago when we brought to you a framework for how we score projects. Uh we have gone through that process. Uh we've got every asset that's over fifty thousand dollars and put into an ar uh asset management plan, uh which is a spreadsheet with all kinds of tabs in it. And from there we've put together what the five-year plan can be funded based on the scoring. And so there is a proposed 23. Most of that is one project, and you'll see kind of the details of that shortly. Uh but there's 10 total projects um that are three or tier one, uh, which was the highest scoring when we go through the scoring, it was a 75 or above. And then there's seven tier two, which are the next uh grouping down. 60 to 75. So just to reiterate, um first thing we do is we gotta make sure that the project or the item that we're looking at is over 50,000. It's gotta have a long long life, 10 years or or longer uh to be able to use capital funds. And typically it's a one-time so construction acquisition or a major rehabilitation.
