JUST WANTED TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION THAT WE HAVE BROKEN THAT OUT SEPARATELY FROM THE KAUFMAN COUNTY PORTION SINCE THE ROCKWALL COUNTY PORTION NOW HAS A LET DATE. WE'VE BROKEN THE KAUFMAN COUNTY PORTION OUT. DOES THAT MEAN KAUFMAN COUNTY DOESN'T HAVE A LET DATE? YES, SIR. OKAY. I WAS JUST FILLING IN THE SPACES THERE. WE'RE NOT WAITING. JOHN SAID. HE HAS.

JOHN HAS AN UPDATE ON THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR THE STATE HIGHWAY 205 MIDDLE SECTION ON JOHN KING REGARDING THE UTILITIES. GOOD EVENING
[00:05:06]
EVERYBODY. AFTER OUR LAST LESS THAN PRODUCTIVE MEETING WITH THE DISTRICT RELATED TO THE 205 MIDDLE PROJECT, WE COMMUNICATED WITH MICHAEL MORSE OF THE RTC, MPO, AND HE HAD SAID THAT HE WOULD LIKE FOR US TO HOLD OFF ON ANY MORE MEETINGS UNTIL HE MET WITH SEASON. HE'S MET WITH SEASON. HE THINKS HE'S GOT A PATH FORWARD THAT WE SHOULD BE GETTING AN MOU ON BEFORE YOUR NEXT MEETING, WHICH WILL INCLUDE DOING BOTH TIE INS ON THE NORTH AND SOUTH, MAKING THE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SUBGRADE. THE ASPHALT ON THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE PROJECT, THE ROADWAY. THAT'S THE SECTION TXDOT IS CONCERNED ABOUT. AND WHAT OUR INTENT IS, IS TO GO AHEAD AND GET THE ROAD CONNECTED SO THAT THE TRAFFIC CAN START FLOWING ON. JOHN KING, THE TRAFFIC, THE PAVEMENT NORTH OF 30 IS CONTINUOUSLY REINFORCED, SO IT'S GOOD PAVEMENT. MICHAEL CAME IN WITH SOME MONEY TO COVER A RECONSTRUCTION OF THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE ROAD, AND TO HELP COVER THE COST FOR THE TWO TIE INS. SO WE SHOULD HAVE AN MOU.HE HE'S TOLD ME THE SEASON AGREED WITH IT. WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE WHEN WE GET IT BACK.
IT'S EVERYTHING THAT I'VE BEEN TOLD THE COUNTY AND THE CITY OF ROCKWALL WANTS IN AN INTERIM JOB. THANK YOU JOHN. SO JOHN, JUST A QUESTION. I PROBABLY ASKING IT TOO EARLY, BUT SO THIS IS CONSIDERED A POSITIVE STEP FORWARD RIGHT? YES SIR. PROJECT. WHAT KIND OF JUST GENERAL TIME FRAME ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TO ACTUALLY. SO ALL THE MOST OF THE WORK IS DONE FROM AN ENGINEERING STANDPOINT. AND WE'VE GOT VERY LITTLE RIGHT OF WAY TO BUY BECAUSE WE'RE JUST TYING IN WITH THE TWO JOHN KINGS. RIGHT. SO WE'RE IT'S ENVIRONMENTALLY CLEARED ALREADY. THE ISSUE WE'RE HAVING IS ON THE NORTH SIDE. TEX-DOT DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE IT OVER WHILE THAT RAILROAD IS STILL AT GRADE. AND SO THEY'RE JUST GOING TO MAKE THE CONNECTIONS MICHAEL'S GOING TO USE FEDERAL DOLLARS TO BECAUSE IT'S BEEN ENVIRONMENTALLY CLEARED TO FIX THE PAVEMENT SOUTH OF 30 AND LET THE TRAFFIC JUST START FLOWING THERE ON THE EXISTING ROAD. AND THEN ONCE WE GET THE RAILROAD AGREEMENT DONE AND THE STATE CAN COME IN AND FLIP THE STACK ON THAT GRADE FOR THE RAILROAD TRACK, THEN WE'LL HAVE A COMMUNICATION ON THE TURN BACK, AND THAT'LL GIVE ROCKWALL TIME TO WORK ON THEIR GOLIAD PROJECT. THAT WAS ANOTHER THING MICHAEL WANTS TO HEAR ABOUT IS HE NEEDS TO KNOW. HE DOESN'T NEED TO LET. HE DOESN'T NEED TO. HE JUST WANTS TO MAKE SURE THE RIGHT ARM KNOWS WHAT THE LEFT ARM IS DOING. SO WHILE WE'RE FIXING MOVING THE TRAFFIC OVER TO JOHN KING, TXDOT DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE IT OFF SYSTEM RIGHT NOW, BUT PUT IT ON SYSTEM BECAUSE OF THE RAILROAD. AND THAT GIVES US TIME TO WORK OUT THE THE UTILITIES ISSUES WITH THE ROCK WALL. BEFORE WE DO THE SWAP. I DON'T KNOW IF I ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION. I THINK I THINK YOU DID. SO THE PLAN IS TO TO MAKE IT SO TRAFFIC CAN SHIFT BEFORE THE NAME CHANGES. CORRECT. IT'LL STILL BE JOHN KING. YEAH. BUT THE PHYSICAL MOVEMENT WILL BE 205 SOUTH. JOHN KING TO 30 HIT THE JOHN KING INTERCHANGE, WHICH IS A SLIGHTLY BETTER INTERCHANGE THAN THE 205. THEN YOU KEEP GOING NORTH AND YOU JUST MERGE RIGHT BACK ONTO 205, AND THEN THAT'LL START TO REDUCE THE TRAFFIC ON GOLIAD, WHICH WILL START TO HELP US ON OUR COMPLETE STREET STREETS ISSUE, WHERE WE'RE REIMAGINING GOLIAD. THANK YOU. OKAY, NOW WE'RE HEADING BACK TO PAGE TEN, FM 1141. WE ANTICIPATE CONSIDERATION OF A PSA WITH PAPE DAWSON ON AN UPCOMING COURT AGENDA. FM 548 BURNS AND MCDONNELL IS WORKING TOWARDS COMPLETION OF THE 100% PLANS.

AND THEN WE'LL BE SHARING IT WITH EVERYBODY AS SOON AS WE CAN MAKE THOSE CHANGES AND GET THEM BACK TO KIMLEY-HORN, AND WE'LL SEE WHERE WE GO FROM THERE. WE HAD SOME VERY GOOD FEEDBACK OF A LOT OF THE RESIDENTS AND THE VARIOUS ELECTED OFFICIALS THAT PARTICIPATED IN SOME OF THAT, SOME GOOD, GOOD INFORMATION FROM THE DIFFERENT PLACES WE HAD. NOT GREAT, NOT WELL ATTENDED LIKE WE'D LIKE FOR IT TO BE, BUT WE DID GET GOOD INFORMATION. MADAM MAYOR, WHAT'S GOING ON? WELL, A LOT A WHOLE LOT. WE'VE GOT WE'VE GOT A LOT STUFF GOING ON WITH ROADS AND COLLIN COUNTY, I THINK. WHICH ONE OF THEM YOU HELPED US WITH 1777. AND THAT IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO GO OVER TO 35. IT WILL GET THERE. IT WILL GET THERE. YEAH IT WILL. THEY'VE ALREADY STARTED ON 1777. AND YET WE'VE GOT A NEW ROAD COMING THAT IS ALSO IN COLLIN COUNTY WITH THE EXTENSION OF 2642 IS. SO THAT'S GOING TO BE GREAT HELP. YOU KNOW, JUST GETTING PEOPLE MOVED AROUND. BUT ALSO TALK ABOUT 30 AND 548 BECAUSE THAT THAT AREA IS REALLY BAD. AND THERE'S BUSINESSES OVER THERE THAT NEED A LOT OF HELP. WE DO WE THAT'S A NIGHTMARE. WE HAVE TALKED WITH NICK. HE CAME AND VISITED WITH US ABOUT AN HOUR OR SO A WEEK OR SO AGO, AND IT IS DEFINITELY A NIGHTMARE. WE'VE GOT SOME BUSINESSES OVER THERE THAT ARE SUFFERING BECAUSE OF IT. SOME OF THEM MAY LOSE THEIR BUSINESS BECAUSE OF IT. THERE'S JUST SO MUCH ON 548 WHERE THEY'VE CLOSED ENTRANCES TO BUILDINGS OFF ON THE SIDE AND STUFF LIKE THAT. SO IT'S A MESS RIGHT NOW, AND I'VE TOLD THEM ANYTHING WE CAN DO, AND I THINK JOHN HAS TO ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO HELP THEM, YOU KNOW, LET US KNOW WHAT THAT WOULD BE. BUT ANYWAY, IT'S LIKE YOU SAID, WE'VE GOT A LONG WAYS TO GO, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'LL SURVIVE OR NOT. BUT WE'RE TRYING. WE DID HAVE A MEETING WITH THEM, SOME OF IT I WASN'T REAL THRILLED ABOUT, ABOUT THE ENTRANCE RAMPS ON 30 TAKEN AWAY, ALL OF THEM FROM 2642 ALL THE WAY TO EIGHT, WHICH CAUSES A PROBLEM WITH OUR EMERGENCY TEAMS. AND I THINK WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON THAT. SO THAT WASN'T A GOOD FEELING TO HAVE. MAYBE WE CAN GET THAT FIGURED OUT. BUT YEAH, IT'S A MESS. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT WE'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT SITUATION OUT THERE THAT EVEN FATE DOES, OR ROCKWALL OR EITHER ONE, BUT WE'VE GOT TWO BRIDGES REAL CLOSE TO EACH OTHER, AND THEY BOTH HAVE TO COME DOWN AND BE REDONE. I THINK ONE OF THEM'S GOING TO COME DOWN. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE SOME TRAFFIC OVER, AM I RIGHT, NICK? MOVE SOME TRAFFIC OVER SOON TO START TAKING THAT ONE DOWN. SO IT'S IT'S QUITE THE MESS. BRING YOUR LAWN CHAIR AND SIT ON. 548 SOMETIME. I THINK I'LL COME SIT ON COOKSON COURT. DUDE, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. MR. KOVACS, WITH THE CITY OF FAITH, WE'RE NO LONGER THE. IN THE TOP TEN FASTEST GROWING CITIES IN THE UNITED STATES. NOW WE'RE ABOUT NUMBER 15, AND HOPEFULLY WE'RE GOING TO BE IN THE TRIPLE DIGITS IN THE CONGRATULATIONS, THE QUAD DIGITS AT SOME POINT. SO IT'S IT'S A LOT, AS YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE GOING THROUGH THEIR, THEIR FAST GROWTH, WHEN YOU'RE DOING THAT, IT SEEMS LIKE ALL YOU'RE DOING IS DOING THINGS FOR THE NEW PEOPLE. AND THEN WHEN YOU GET A LITTLE BIT SLOWER, NOW YOU'RE LIKE, YOU BE A LITTLE BIT MORE METHODICAL. NOW YOU'RE, YOU'RE ABLE TO REALLY DO MORE QUALITY OF LIFE STUFF. SO NEW PARK COMING IN BOND SOLD YESTERDAY. SO NEW PARK IN DOWNTOWN FAYETTE, TRIANGLE PIECE. IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE $6.5 MILLION FOR A LITTLE PIECE. OH YEAH. BUT IT'S GOING TO BE NICE. NICE. SO DOWNTOWN, LOTS OF SUCCESS. COME VISIT. WELL DONE. ALL RIGHT.
CITY OF ROCKWALL, MISS MARY DENNIS. RICHARD. I'LL TAKE IT. SO IF ANY OF YOU LIKE TO DRIVE SID'S ROAD, JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU NOTICE THAT WE HAVE CHANGED THE NAME. IT'S NOW GOING TO BE RAYBURN DRIVE, I LOVE IT. RAYBURN WAY. THANK YOU. BECAUSE THEY NOW OWN PROPERTY ON BOTH SIDES, ALL THE WAY DOWN. AND AT LEAST THAT CORNER TO TEXAS WEDGE.

IKEA IS NOW OPEN FOR BUSINESS.GOT A NEW TRAFFIC SIGNAL RIGHT THERE ON 3549. HELP ME GET IN AND OUT OF THERE. THAT'S ALL I GOT. ALL RIGHT, MAYOR JAFFE, WHAT'S GOING ON IN POETRY? YOU KNOW, NOT A WHOLE LOT. WE RECEIVED OUR. ANYWAY, WE'RE A YOUNG CITY, INEXPERIENCED A LOT OF WAYS, BUT WE HAD PUT IN FOR A TDA GRANT NUMBER OF YEARS AGO. IT'S THROUGH HUD AND SORT OF PUT OUR TOE IN THE WATER WITH THAT. WE WERE GIVEN THE GRANT, AND WE'RE GOING TO SPEND A LITTLE UNDER $1 MILLION TO REPAIR ABOUT 2000FT OF PAVEMENT. SO WE'VE GOT 30 SOMETHING MILES OF ROAD IN POETRY. SO 2000FT OF IT ARE GOING TO BE LIKE, INCREDIBLY GOOD. NOW. BUT I WILL SAY, AND MOST OF THE PEOPLE SITTING HERE KNOW IT MUCH BETTER THAN I, THAT THAT WHOLE PROCESS DEALING WITH THE FEDS AND DEALING WITH THE STATE IS JUST VERY PAINFUL. I MEAN, IT'S JUST SO MUCH WORK TO GET SO LITTLE MOTION, BUT WE'RE APPRECIATIVE. IT'S A LITTLE SOMETHING. WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF A LOT OF REVENUE IN OUR TOWN AT THE MOMENT. SO, YOU KNOW, MOSTLY WE'RE DOING POTHOLING AND JUST KIND OF SURVIVING. SO BUT THINGS ARE QUIET. WE LIKE IT THAT WAY. WE'RE NOT ON ANYBODY'S LIST OF THE FASTEST ANYTHING. WE WANT TO STAY THERE. IT'S A GOOD LIST TO STAY OFF OF.
COMMISSIONER LICHTY, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING, SIR? NOTHING OTHER THAN WE TALKED ABOUT. I'M JUST REALLY HAPPY THAT WE'RE STARTING TO MAKE A LOT OF PROGRESS ON ROADS.

SO TRAVIS AND ANOTHER EMPLOYEE SAT AT THE FARMERS MARKET SATURDAY AND GOT OVER 100 COMMENTS. SO WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT AGAIN ON OUR BIG FESTIVITIES, YOU KNOW, 4TH OF JULY OUT AT THE FIREWORKS SHOW. SO GO TO THE PEOPLE INSTEAD OF THINKING THEY'LL COME TO US. THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT, COMMISSIONER. I'LL JUST ECHO WHAT COMMISSIONER LICHTY SAID. I'M EXCITED THAT WE'RE FINALLY MAKING PROGRESS ON SOME ROADS, AND THAT WE ARE GOING TO DO SOMETHING FOR PRECINCT ONE AND GET THAT JOHN KING EXCHANGE DONE SO THAT PEOPLE AREN'T SITTING IN TRAFFIC FOREVER.

SO I THINK WE'RE PROBABLY ABOUT 30 TO 45 DAYS AWAY FROM LAUNCHING IT, BUT JUST BE LOOKING FOR THAT. IT'LL PROBABLY REALLY KIND OF BE IN THE FALL. IT'S REALLY COOL AND IT'LL BE A GOOD BRIDGE FOR WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE COMMUNITY. THEY'LL BE ABLE TO LOOK AT IT AND IT'LL TELL THEM WHERE THEY ARE IN THE STAGES, WHERE IT IS ON THE MAP, AND WE'RE WORKING HARD TO TRY TO TRY TO GET THAT READY. SO THAT IS SOMETHING TO BE LOOKING FORWARD TO IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. WONDERFUL.COUNCILMAN OWEN, ANYTHING TO ADD FOR HEATH? NO, I THINK HE COVERED IT.
