LET'S MOVE ON TO COMMENTS AND PUBLIC INTEREST. >> COMMENTS AND PUBLIC INTEREST. THIS PORTION OF THE MEETING IS TO ALLOW UP TO THREE MINUTES PER SPEAKER WITH 30 TOTAL MUTUAL FUNDS E MINUTES ON ITEMS OF INTEREST OR CONCERN AND P NOT ON ITEMS OF CURRENT AGENDA. THE COUNCIL MAY NOT DISCUSS THESE ITEMS BUT MAY RESPOND WITH FACTUAL INFORMATION. THEYAY COSE TO PLACE THE ITEM ON A FUTURE AGENDA. I HAVE TWO SPEAKERS. THE FIRST IS SHARON OVERALL. >> I AM OFTEN ASKED WHY I'M SO PASSIONATE ABOUT SMOKING BANS. THE ANSWER IS THAT I NEARLY DIED BECAUSE OF SECOND HAND SMOKE. I WAS ABOUT 9 YEARS OLD, AND I ENDED UP WITH BRONCHIAL PNEUMONIA. I MISSED MY GRANDMOTHER'S 70th BIRTHDAY PARTY AND FAMILY REUNION. S I LAID THERE IN BED FOR TWO WEEKS, I VOWED THAT I WOULD SOMEWHERE MAKE IT WHERE NO ONE WAS EXPOSED TO SECOND HAND SMOKE WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT. I REALIZE NOW THAT IT'S THE SMOKERS' RIGHTS THAT BEING INFRINGED UPON BY SMOKING BANS HAS BEEN THE NONSMOKER'S RIGHTS THAT HAVE BEEN TRAMPLED ON FOR OVER A CENTURY. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY A 9-YEAR-OLD CAN UNDERSTAND THIS AND ADULTS CANADA. WHY SHOULD NONSMOKERS BE EXPOSED TO CANCER-CAUSING CHEMICALS AND SPIT IN THE SECOND HAND SMOKE WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT? THE ASSOCIATED PRESS STATED IN 2020 THAT BE BEING ABLE TO SMELL SMOKE MIGHT BE A RED FLAG, THAT YOU'RE TOO CLOSE TO THE SMOKER. THE SMOKER EXHALES RESPIRATORY DROPLETS WHEN SMOKING AND VAPING THAT CAN CARRY THE CORONAVIRUS. REMEMBER THAT WIND CAN BLOW SMOKE FOR OVER 100 FEET. WHY SHOULD 40,000 NONSMOKERS DIE EACH YEAR? EVEN BRIEF EXPOSURE CAN TRIRG A HEART ATTACK OR AN ASTHMA ATTACK. THE ANSWER IS BECAUSE THAT IS THEAYT'S ALWAYS BEEN REALIZE THAT WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE BASICS AND CHANGE THE MINDSET OF THE PEOPLE AND MAKE THEM REALIZE THAT THE RIGHTS OF THE NONSMOKER TO NOT BE EXPOSED ANYWHERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE RIGHTS OF THE SMOKER. LIKE THE SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT. IT HAS ONLY BEEN A LITTLE OVER 100 YEARS SINCE WOMEN IN THE COUNTRY GOT THE VOTE. ACCORDING TO THE MAIN STREAM SCIENCE AT THE TIME WOMEN SIMPLY HAD INFERIOR BRAINS WHICH MADE THEM UNSUITED TO THE RIGORS OF VOTING. I SERIOUSLY DOUBT THERE'S ANYONE IN THE ROOM THAT BELIEVES THAT TODAY. I REMEMBER WHEN YOU COULD SMOKE AIRPLANES AND IN HOSPITALS. CAN YOU IMAGINE SMOKING INSIDE OF A HOSPITAL TODAY? CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING ON AN AIRPLANE WITH SMOKERS? WE ARE REALIZING THAT SMOKERS NEED TO KEEP THEIR SMOKE FROM OTHERS, BUT THE 25 FEET FROM THE DOOR IS A JOKE. VESTIBULES AT THE MALL ARE FILLED WITH SMOKE, AND HAVE YOU TO GET THROUGH THE SMOKERS' ALLEY JUST TO GET INSIDE. MANY CITIES ARE BANNING IT FROM ALL SIDEWALKS, STREETS, AND PARKS. SMOKERS HAVE NO RIGHT TO SMOKE ON CITY-OWNED PROPERTY. WE NEED TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP. THAT PERSON IS TOUCHING ANOTHER PERSON WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT. THE CITY OF -- HAS THE FOLLOWING ORDINANCE. THE NON-CONSENSUAL EXPOSURE TO SECOND HAND SMOKE AND THE UNINVITED PRESENCE OF SECOND HAND SMOKE ON PROPERTY AND VIOLATION OF THIS CHAPTER SHALL CONSTITUTE A NUISANCE IS PROHIBITED AND IS MADE UNLAWFUL. STOP THE NONCONSENSUAL EXPOSURE TO SECOND HAND SMOKE. THANK YOU. >> NEXT SPEAKER IS JAMES LOCKRIDGE. THERE IS A COUPLE OF ITEMS THAT ARE STILL PENDING THAT I'M WAITING ON RESPONSE FROM. THE ONE THING THAT I DO HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT IS, ONE, I'M NOT FIGHTING FOR JUST MY RIGHTS. I'M FIGHTING FOR EVERYONE'S RIGHTS IN TEXAS. IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT ME. I WANT WHAT'S FAIR FOR ONE IS FAIR FOR ALL ATTITUDE WITH PLANO. WITH JUST THE PROPERTY I FARM.- I'M FIGHTING FOR EVERY FARMER IN THE STATE OF TEXAS TODAY. NOT JUST IN PLANO, BUT ACROSS THE STATE OF TEXAS WITH STATE REPRESENTATIVES, WITH SENATORS, AND WITH FARM BUREAU STATE REPS. I WANT TO CONTINUE THE TALKS WITH THE CITY OF PLANO AND WITH JACK CARR, BUT IN THE STATE LAW TEXAS PROPERTY STATE TAX, IT VERY CLEARLY SAYS THAT YOU CAN NOT BRING IN A NUISANCE ACT AGAINST ANY FARMER IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. IT ALSO SAYS THAT IF THE RULES WERE MADE AFTER THE FACT THAT WE WERE GRANDFATHERED IN, THAT THE NEW RULES THAT THE CITY IS ENFORCING UPON THE LANDOWNERS DOES NOT APPLY TO US BECAUSE OF THE GRANDFATHER CLAUSE. THIS IS UNDER THE PROPERTY TAX CODE. THIS ISN'T EVEN THE AGRICULTURAL YET. IT'S A WHOLE SECTION THAT SAYS SETTING THE DEGREEND INTSITY OF THE AING CULTURAL LAND TO BE QUALIFIED FOR AGRICULTURE. IT VERY CLEARLY SAYS THAT THE LAND MUST BE USED TO THE FULLEST OF ITS ABILITY AND TO THE DEGREE OF INTENSITY. NOW, IF WE'RE HAVING TO MOW 250 FEET OFF THE BACK OF THE CURB, WE CAN'T MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS JUST IN THAT ONE SECTION OF THE LAW, WHICH THAT'S A STATE LAW OVER CITY LAW. TLVR, THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT CAN LITERALLY YANK MY AG AWAY FROM ME AND MAKE ME PAY A FIVE-YEAR ROLL-BACK TAX. I DON'T THINK THAT'S APPROPRIATE FOR THE CITY TO BE ABLE TO PUT THAT IN ON US. THE OTHER THING I'M GOING TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION, EVERY CITY MAINTAINS THE CITY WITH A PROPERTY TAX, AND TO KEEP THE CITY RUNNING EFFICIENTLY. NOW, THERE'S USUALLY A ROAD ON IT OR AN EASEMENT OR A RIGHT OF WAY FOR THE ROADWAY, WHICH IS IF THE CITY IS COLLECTING TAXES TO MAINTAIN THE CITY AND TO KEEP IT UP AND RUNNING, ACCORDING TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, YOU CAN'T CHARGE US FOR THAT. THAT IS MAINTAINED BY THE CITY. I'M GOING TO ASK THAT THE CITY LOOK INTO THAT, AND THEN I'M ALSO GOING TO ASK THE CITY TO REIMBURSE ME FOR ALL THE CITATIONS AND FINES THAT I HAVE PAID OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS THAT STT AND CHRISTOPHER SMITH HAVE VERY CLEARLY HARASSED ME, MOWED DOWN MY CROPS WERE THE FULL FIELD. NOT JUST 50 FEET. NOT 250 FEET BUT THE WHOLE FIELD COSTING ME THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, AND I HAVE DEALT WITH IT FOR OVER THREE YEARS. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IF WE CAN GET A RESOLUTION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU FOR WORKING WITH JACK AND ME. MOVING ON TO THE CONSENT AGENDA. CONSEND E SENT AGENDA. THE CONSENT AGENDA WILL BE ACTED UPON IN ONE MOTION AND CONTAINS ITEMS WHICH ARE ROUTINE AND TYPICALLY NONCONTROVERSIAL. ITEMS MAY BE REMOVED FROM THIS AGENDA FOR INDIVIDUAL DISCUSSION BY COUNCILMEMBER, THE CITY MANAGER, OR ANY CITIZEN. THE PRESIDING OFFICER WILL ESTABLISH TIME LIMITS BASED UPON THE NUMR OF SPEAKERS KWDZ. MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED. >> SECOND. MOTION AND SECOND TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA. ANY COMMENTS? PLEASE VOTE. . OKAY. PLEASE VOTE. >> WE HAVE A NO VOTE TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA. A DEPARTMENTAL REPORT ON PUBLIC WORKS. DAN PENDERGAST. WE SAVED YOU THE BEST FOR LAST. >> CLOSING, RIGHT? (LAUGHING). >> MAYOR, COUNCIL, I JUST WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE SOME OF DAN'S CREWS REAL QUICK FOR THE WORK THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS WITH THE ICE STORM THAT WAS OUT THERE. DAN'S TEAM HAD QUITE LITERALLY AT THE OFFICE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ROADS COULD BE TAKEN CARE OF AND THAT OUR CITIZENS COULD, IF THEY NEED ITTED TO GET OUT, GET WHERE THEY NEEDED TO GET TO SAFELY. BETWEEN THEM, OUR FACILITES DEPARTMENT, OBVIOUSLY OUR AMAZING PUBLIC SAFETY GROUP, OUR 9-1-1 GROUP DOWN BELOW, THEY JUST DID AN AMAZING JOB. THAT DEDICATION OF BEING WILLING TO SLEEP ON COTS AT THE OFFICE TO MAKE SE THAT WE COULD PROVE SERVICE WAS SOMETHING THAT REALLY EPITOMIZES OUR SERVE VAUES AND THE CITY OF EXCELLENCE. >> THANK YOU, MARC. I'M HERE TO GIVE YOU A QUICK OVERVIEW OF OUR DEPARTMENT AND ALSO TALK ABOUT OW PROACTIVE APPROACH TO MAINTENANCE TONIGHT. OUR DEPARTMENT HAS RECENTLY REORGANIZED INTO THREE DIVISIONS. WE ARE WATER WASTE WATER WHICH COVERS DISTRIBUTION, WHICH IS WATER MAINS, PUMPING, WHICH IS ELEVATION IS AND PUMP STATIONS, COMPLIANCE, WATER QUALITY TECHNOLOGY AND ASSET MANAGEMENT. THE GROUP OF STREETS, OF COURSE, AND TRAFFIC. ALLEYS, SIDEWALKS, AND ALSO DRAINAGE. AT THE BOTTOM THERE YOU SEE COMMUNITY SERVICES, WHICH IS OUR FLEET AND OUR ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES DIVISION. ALL THESE DIFFERENT DIVISIONS FOCUS AROUND QUALITY OF LIFE. OUR DEPARTMENT IS DATA DRIVEN. WE FOCUS ON THE CUSTOMER SPERNKS. WE'RE EFFICIENT AND WE MOST OF ALL HOLD PUBLIC SAFETY IN THE HIGHEST REGARD. WE HAVE 361 TOTAL STAFF AND AN OPERATINGS BUDGET OF $175 MILLION. WE ARE A LARGE DEPARTMENT. SWITCHING OVER TO INFRASTRUCTURE, THERE ARE FIVE MAIN CATEGORIES OF IN INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE MAINTAIN. WE HAVE WATER, SEWER, STREETS, DRAINAGE, AND TRAFFIC, AND CAN YOU SEE DOWN BELOW THERE'S LOTS OF STATS AND MILES OF PIPE. I'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT AS WE GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION, BUT IT IS A LOT TO MAINTAIN. WE ARE STAUG ABOUT MAINTENANCE, AND THERE ARE TWO APPROACHES. THERE'S A REACTIVE APPROACH, WHICH IS RESOLVING ISSUES THAT COST A LOT OF MONEY. THAT HAPPENS NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO. YOU HAVE SERVICE CALLS, COMPLAINTS, AND YOU WANT A FAST RESPONSES. THEN THERE'S A PROACTIVE APPROACH, WHICH IS STRATEGIC. ASSET MANAGEMENT, DRIVEN DATA, INI DON'T HE VEGAS. OUR DEPARTME WHERE WE'RE AT 90% OR MORE ON THE PLANNING APPROACH. THOSE THINGS LIKE A MAIN BREAK OR A POTHOLE THAT COMES UP. WE USE THAT DATA AND FEET THAT INTO THE PLANNING CYCLE HERE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE FALLING THROUGH WITH THE LONG-TERM PLAN. WHEN IT COMES TO ASSET MANAGEMENT, CARTOGRAPH IS AT THE CORE OF WHAT WE DO. WE HAVE 154 USERS OF CARTOGRAFRS. IT'S OUR ASSET MANAGEMENT AND WORK ORDER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. I WANT TO FOCUS AT THE BOTTOM THERE. WE HAVE ALMOST 586,000 ASSETS THAT WE MAINTAIN. ON THE TOP RIGHT, YOU CAN SEE WE HAD JUST OVER 15 THROUGHS REQUESTS LAST YEAR AND JUST ABOUT 123,000 TASKS. OUR REQUEST IS WHEN SOMEONE LIKE CITY MANAGER SAYS, HEY, THERE'S A POTHOLE OVER HERE, AND THAT GETS A TASK AS WELL. WE HAVE A LOT MORE TASKS GENERATED WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE BEING PROACTIVE. LET'S TALK ABOUT SEWER. THIS MAP HERE IS THE CITY OF PLANO SEWER NETWORK COLOR-CODED BY AGE. THE SEWERS THAT ARE YELLOW ON THE MAP ARE LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD, AND IT GOES ALL THE WAY TO DOWN, WHICH IS MORE THAN 50 YEARS OLD. THE AVERAGE AGE OF SEWER IN THE CITY OF PLANO IS 26 YEARS. WE HAVE OVER 1,000 MILES OF PIPE, AND WE HAVE OVER 15,000 MANHOLES AND EIGHT LIFT STATIONS. IT'S A LOT TO MAINTAIN. ON THE RIGHT YOU CAN SEE DELBERT AND CHRISTINA WHO ARE PUTTING A CAMERA INTO A SEWER MAIN. THESE ARE OUR CREWS THAT INSPECT AND CLEAN ALL OF OUR SMALL MAINS. WE HAVE A CONACTO TT DOES OUR LARGER MAINS. WE LOOK AT INFILTRATION. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT HAVING RAIN WATER GETTING INTO OUR SYSTEM BECAUSE IT DECREASES XHAFT FOR SEWAGE. THEN WE DO MANHOLE AND SEWER INSPECTIONS. THE OVERFLOW INITIATIVE VOLUNTARY PROGRAM, AND THAT FOCUSES ON TROUBLE SPOTS THAT HAVE FATS, OTHERWISE, AND GREASE OR FOG. WHEN THAT STUFF COOLS, IT CLOGS UP THE SEWER CLINE LINE, AND YOU CAN NEVER STOP IT. THIS IS ANOTHER SLIDE SHOWING WHAT OUR CREWS ARE DOING. ON THE LEFT SIDE THEY'RE FEEDING THE JET TUBE AND THE CAMERA DOWN. ON THE RIGHT DELBERT HAS HIS XBOX CONTROL STICK. HE IS LOOKING FOR CRACKS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. HE HAS HIS IPAD AND IS LOGGING THE CONDITION DATA AS IT GOES ALONG THE PIPE HERE. THIS IS A PROGRAM THAT WE DO EVERY SINGLE DAY. ALSO, SEWER DOESN'T STOP AT THE CREEKS. IT HAS TO CROSS THE CREEKS. WE HAVE WHAT YOU CALL AN AERIAL CROSSING. WE HAVE 120 IN THE CITY. THE MIDDLE OF THE MAP THE THAT YOU S IS ALL OF OUR 120 AERIAL CROSSINGS AND CARTOGRAPH. WHEN YOU CLICK ON ONE, YOU'LL SEE WHAT I SHOWED ON THE LEFT SIDE AND THE BOTTOM SIDE HERE. ON THE LEFT SIDE YOU HAVE A SCORE CARD SHOWING DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THAT SEWER CROSSING, AND THE PERSON GOES THERE AND PUTS A SCORE TO THEM. ON THE BOTTOM WE INSPECT THE SEWER CROSSING OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS. IT'S BEEN DONE WINCE U ONCE PER YEAR. YOU CAN SEE WHO DID IT, WHAT THE SCORE WAS, AND IF THERE WERE NOTES ASSOCIATED WITH IT. ON THE RIGHT IS A PICTURE OF THAT CROSSING FROM ONE OF THE INSPECTIONS ADDS WELL. IT'S USEFUL INFORMATIN. WE HAVE ISSUES COME UP, THEN WE N LKT THAT DATA. I MENTIONED THE SSOIs. IN 2018 WE HAD 32 OVERFLOWS. IN 2019 WE HAD 16, AND IN 2017 WE HAD SEVEN. THE PROGRAM IS WORKING WELL TO REDUCE THE OVERFLOWS. LET'S TRANSITION TO WATER. THIS IS A CITY OF PLANO WATER NETWORK COLOR-CODED BY AGE. THE WATER LINES THAT ARE YELLOW ARE LESS THAN TEN YEARS OLD, AND IT GOES ALL THE WAY TO DARK PURPLE THERE WITH MORE THAN 50 YEARS OLD. THE AVERAGE AGE OF THE WATER MAIN IN OUR CITY IS 27 YEARS. WE HAVE OVER 1,500 MILES OF PIPE IN THE CITY. WE HAVE OVER 50,000 VALVES, STATIONS, AND 11 GROUND STORAGE TANKS. WE HAVE LOT TO MAINTAIN. YOU CAN SEE KIND OF AREAS OF YELLOW THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MAP. THOSE ARE AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN REHABBED IN THE LAST FIVE TO TEN YEARS. IT'S AN ACTIVE PROGRAM TO MAKE SURE WE'RE RENEWING THAT OLD PIPE. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT MAINTENANCE OF THE WATER SYSTEM AND WATER QUALITY IS PARAMOUNT. IT'S WHAT WE DO. THIS IS A SNAP SHOP OF CARTO GRAPH. IT HAS 111 WATER QUALITY TESTS IN THERE. IF YOU CLICK ON THE DOT, YOU CAN SEE WHO TOOK THE TEST, WHAT CAR THEY DROVE TO GO TAKE THETEST. THEN WHAT THE RESULT WAS. THEN WE CAN REPORT ON THOSE THINGS TOO. WE GET THESE REPORTS AND CAN SEE TRENDING IN THE WATER QUALITY AND GO OUT AND FLUSH. WE ALSO USE THIS WITH A CHANGE ORDER -- THE CHANGE OVER IN DISINFECTANT FOR NORTH TEXAS. WE HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE TO KEEP OUR TANKS LOW, MAKE SURE THERE'S MINIMAL MIXING OF THE WATER, AND THEN WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO SEE ARE OUR CREWS ALL OVER THE CITY PLUSH FLUSHING TO MAKE SURE WE'RE GETTING THE PREVIOUS DISINFECTANT OUT AND THE FEW ONE IN SO THERE'S NOT THAT MIXING INVOLVED. NEXT IS WATER LOSS IN THE WATER SYSTEM. THIS IS A PRETTY NEAT THING THAT WE'RE DOING. THERE'S A COMPANY CALLED ASTERA THAT DOES SATELLITE AND LEAK DETENTION E TEKZ. WITH A SYSTEM OF 1,500 MILES OF PIPE, YOU HAVE LEAKS AND BEND AND JOINTS AND VALVES. THIS COMPANY WILL FLY A SATELLITE OVER A FEW TIMES, AND THEY BEAM DOWN LIKE A RADAR THAT CAN DETECT WHEN TREATED WATER MIXES WITH PLAY SOIL UP TO ABOUT 9 FEET DEEP. THE MAJORITY OF OUR WATER MAIN LEAKS -- THEY DON'T SURFACE. YOU CAN IMAGINE ASKING SOMEONE TO GO WALK 1,500 MILES OF PIPE TO GO TRY TO FIND A LEAK. IT'S NOT EASY. WHAT THEY GIVE USS POINT OF INTEREST THAT YOU SEE ON THE RIGHT -- OR THE LEFT SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN THERE. pIT'S ABOUT A WHERE THEY HAVE A PING, AND WE'LL SEND SOMEBODY TO THAT ONE AREA TO FIND THE LEAK. IN THE FIRST WEEK WE FOUND OR CONFIRMED OVER 90 LEAKS. WE REPAIRED WATER LOSS, WHICH IS ABOUT 80 MILLION GALLONS A YEAR, WHICH IS ABOUT 2.3% OF OUR OVERALL WATER LOSS. IT'S VALUABLE DATA FOR FUTURE PROJECTS. I HAVE AN UPDATE TOO. AS OF TODAY WE FOUND A TOTAL OF 225 LEAKS. 96% OF THOSE WERE NOT SURFACE LEAKS. WE HAD -- WE'VE STOPPED 388 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER LOSS, WHICH IS ABOUT 13.2% OF OUR OVERALL WATER LOSS. WHEN THEY FIND A LEAK, THEY CAN PINPOINT IT, AND OUR CREW GO OUTS AND REPAIR IT. THAT'S BEEN A VERY GOOD PROGRAM FOR US. NEXT YEAR I WANT TO FOCUS ON OUR CRITICAL LINES. THERE IS TECHNOLOGY TO BE ABLE TO RUN CAMERAS WITHIN THE WATER MAIN WHILE IT'S ACTIVE AND WHAT IT DOES IS IT FINDS AIR. THEY USE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SENSORS TO TELL WHAT THE COITIO OF THE PIPE IS. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT IF THERE ARE THINGS WE NEED TO FIX, WE FIX IT AHEAD OF TIME BEFORE A MAJOR DISASTER HAPPENS WHERE YOU HAVE A 72 INCH MAIN THAT BLOWS AND THEN YOU CAN'T KEEP PRESSURE IN THE SYSTEM. THIS IS SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO START NEXT YEAR. FIRE HYDRANT MAINTENANCE, WE PARTNERED WITH THE FIRE HYDRANT, OR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, AND IN 2020 WE HAD 211 HYDRANTS AND WE'RE DOWN TO 125. IT HELPS OUR ISO RATING, WHICH KEEPS OUR INSURANCE RATES DOWN. THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. THIS IS REALLY A BOOMING INDUSTRY EVERYWHERE. STREETS WATER SEWER. I TALKED A LOT ABOUT DATA AND THE CHALLENGE SOMETIMES IS WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THAT DATA, AND THAT'S WHERE AI COMES IN. THEY'LL RUN REAL MODELS AGAINST ACTUAL RESULTS IN THE FIELD AND CAN TELL WHICH DATA IS IMPORTANT, WHICH ISN'T, AND THEN THAT HELPS US USE THAT FOR FUTURE PRIORITIZATION PROJECTS AS WELL. FINALLY, WE'LL TALK ABOUT PAVEMENT. WHEN I CAME INTO PUBLIC WORKS IN 2019 WE HAD A POTHOLE ISSUE AND PAVEMENT ISSUE AND CAME UP WITH A PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN. I STARTED WITH THIS MAP HERE. THIS IS THE MAP OF THE CITY OF PLANO STREET NETWORK COLOR-CODED BY AGE. THE STREETS YOU SEE IN BLUE ARE LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD, AND THE VIETNAMS IN RED ARE MORE THAN 50 YEARS OLD. THE AVERAGE AGE OF OUR STREETS IS 38 YEARS. ALMOST ALL OF THEM ARE CONCRETE, EVEN THE ONES THAT ARE OVER LAID ARE STILL CONCRETE STREETS. IT'S ABOUT A THREE-QUARTER INCH THIN SEAL ON TOP OF THE PAVEMENT. WE HAVE ABOUT 1,200 LANE MILES OF MAJOR DIVIDED STREETS, AND THE COST TO REPLACE THOSE TODAY WOULD BE $1.8 BILLION. WE HAVE ABOUT 1,500 MILES OF TWO OF HAD LANE RANTAL STREETS, AND THE COST TO REPLACE THOSE WOU BE .2 BILLION. YOU'RE LOOKING AT $4 BILLION OF ROADWAY INFRASTRUCTURE, AND THAT NUMBER KEEPS GOING UP EVERY YEAR. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT A PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN IT ALL STARTS HERE AT MARK'S FAVORITE GRAPH. (LAUGHING). ON THE LEFT YOU HAVE STREET CONDITIONS AND ON THE BOTTOM YOU HAVE TIME, AND THEN IT'S HOWRY CONCRETE STREET DEGRADES OVER TIME IF YOU DO NOT MAINTAIN IT. PLANO WAS UP IN THAT VERY TOP LEFT-HAND CORNER, AND LIVING THERE NICELY. NOT SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY, BUT THERE'S A TIPPING POINT THAT HAPPENED IN 2014-2015 WHERE THIN STARTED TO GO DOWNHILL. WE'VE IMPROVED OUR FUNDING FOR THIS, AND NOW WE'RE ABLE TO DO PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE ON STREETS THAT ARE A AND B CATEGORY THAT HELPS THE PAVEMENT LIFE, AND AS THE STREETS GO DOWN TO THE B, C, AND D CATEGORY, WE CAN DO A REHAB. YOU SEE THE COST. IT'S 100,000 MILES. IT'S ABOUT 2 MILLION A MILE TO DO A CONCRETE REPAIR AND OVERLAY ON A MAJOR STREET, AND IT'S ABOUT 12 MILLION DOLLARS A MILE. WE HAVE TO KEEP IT OPEN TO TRAFFIC. IT TAKES A LOT LONGER AND IS MORE COSTLY TO DO THAT. R PAYMENT PROGRAM EXTENDS THE LIFE OF THE PAYMENT SYSTEM WELL BEYOND THAT 30-YEAR DESIGN LIFE. H POTHOLES, WE DID OUR FIRST EVER PRO ACTIVE SURVEY WITH WHERE OUR INSPECTORS ON RAINY DAYS WHERE CONTRACTORS AREN'T WORKING WE MADE AN APP FOR THE PASSENGER TO GO AND TAP THEIR PHONE EVERY TIME THEY SAW A POTHOLE. WE HAD 3,400 POTHOLES WE FOUND AND HAD TO REPAIR IN THREE MONTHS. IN 2020 WE HAD LESS THAN 1,000 AND NOW UNDER 500 POTLES. RY HAPPY WITH THIS PROGRAM. OUR RESPONSE TEAM HAS GONE FROM 20 DAYS ON AVERAGE TO LESS THAN FIVE. I CAN TELL YOU THE MAJORITY OF OUR POTHOLES ARE ADDRESSED WITHIN 24 TO 48 HOURS. WE HAVE MINOR ONES THAT WE KIND OF HANG OUT THERE UNTIL CREWS ARE IN THE AREA TO FIX IT. IT'S PART OF THE AVERAGE. BRIDGES. I'M SURE YOU HAVE HEARD ABOUT SOME BRIDGE COLLAPSES HERE. I THINK WE HAD ONE IN PENNSYLVANIA AND A WHILE BACK IN MINNESOTA. WE HAVE A PRETTY ROBUST BRIDGE PROGRAM WHERE TX DOT IS REQUIRED TO INSPECT ALL OF ARE OUR BRIDGES AND BRIDGE CULVERTS EVERY TWO YEARS. WE GET REPORTS FROM THEM, AND THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT TAKES THOSE REPORTSND HIRA STRUCTURAL CONSULTANT TO LOOK AT THAT, TAKE THE TOP 20 OR 30 BRIDGES AND GO DOWN REAL INSPECTIONS THERE. WE HAVE PICTURES AND EVERYTHING ELSE. THEY TAKE THAT INFORMATION, DESIGN PLANS FOR REPAIR AND THEN MAKE THE REPAIRS. I CAN TELL YOU, THIS IS VERY HELPFUL WHEN WE HAD A WATER MAIN BREAK ON SPRING CREEK. IT WAS AT A BRIDGE, AND THERE WAS CRACKING THAT I SAW THERE, AND I CALLED ENGINEERING AND SAID, HEY, THIS IS ONE OF THE BRIDGES THEY LOOKED AT. YES. WERE THESE CRACKS HERE, AND ARE THEY A BIG DEAL? YES, THEY WERE THERE, AND NO, IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL, SO I KNEW I DIDN'T HAVE TO CLOSE THE BRIDGE DOWN. THAT ISSEFUL FOR WHEN THINGS HAPPEN IN THE FIELD FOR US. FINALLY SIGNALS. WE STARTED A PRO ACTIVE PROGRAM TO INSPECT ALL OF OUR SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS EVERY YEAR. WE STARTED THAT IN 2019. CAN YOU SEE HOW OUR REQUESTS HAVE GONE DOWN EVERY YEAR, AND OUR LABOR AND MATERIAL COST HAS ALSO DECREASED SUBSTANTIALLY SINCE 2019. ANOTHER PROGRAM WHERE WE'RE BEING PROACTIVE, AND IT'S WORKING VERY WELL. LET'S SWITCH TO THE WINTER STORM. YOU TALKED ABOUT A PLAN AND THEN BEING REACTIVE IS KIND OF EVERYTHING ALTOGETHER. I TELL OUR STAFF WE PN A YEAR BY BUYING THE EQUIPMENT THAT WE NEED, AND THEN WE PREPARE LEADING UP TO IT ABOUT A WEEK OR TWO OUT. WE MEET ONCE A WEEK DURING THE WINTERTIME FRAME TO LOOK AT THE WEATHER AND SEE IF WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THEN WE PERFORM AND BE PROUD OF WHAT YOU DO. THEY REALLY WORK HARD IN VERY TOUGH CONDITIONS. ON HERE YOU HAVE BRUCE WHO IS IN THE BACKHOE WHO IS DIGGING UP A MAIN BREAK. YOU HAVE OSCAR, WHO IS SHUTTING OFF THE WATER METER TO A HOME AND IT'S LEAKING. ON THE RIGHT YOU SEE SAND TRUCKS THAT WERE READY TO GO SANDING OUR ROADS. THE NEXT SLIDE JUST MORE PICTURES. JUST -- I ALSO WANT TO STRESS THAT IT'S NOT JUST STREETS. IT'S NOT JUST WATERS UTILITIES. IT'S ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES WHERE, WE USE THE BOOM TRUCK FOR THE TREE DEBRIS, AND THAT HELPED A LOT WITH BEING ABLE TO ADDRESS ALL OF THE DOWNED TREES. WHAT THEY'RE DOING HAVE S VERY IMPORTANT TO PLAN YES AND OUR CITIZENS REALLY SHOW APPRECIATION. IN SUMMARY, HOPE YOU HAVE GOTTEN A GOOD IDEA OF WHAT OUR APPROACH TO MAINTENANCE REALLY IS, HOW MUCH WE'RE DOING. WE DON'T SHARE THAT VERY OFFER. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO COME HERE TO YOU ALL AND SHOW WHAT 'RE DOI IN PUBLIC WORKS, AND YOU'RE ALWAYS GOING TO HAVE THE REACTIVE THINGS THAT HAPPEN. THERE WAS A MAIN BREAK ON HEDGE CO BECAUSE IT HAPPENED, BUT THA WAS FIXED, AND TROFK BACK ON THE ROAD WITHIN ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WHEN THOSE THINGS HAPPEN THAT WE'RE DEMONSTRATIONING THEM QUICKLY. WITH THAT, I WILL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU, DAN. APPRECIATE IT. COUNCILMAN GRADEGRADY. >> I WANTED SEND A THANK YOU YOUR WAY FROM MY NEIGHBOR. FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS EVERY WEEK I WLD RECEIVE A PHONE CALL OR A TEXT MESSAGE OR A PERSONAL VISIT BECAUSE THE ALLEY WAS DETERIORATING BEHIND THEIR HOME. I WENT AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT. SERIOUSLY IT WAS. IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS YOUR CREW -- AND I KNOW IT'S YOUR CREW BECAUSE I SEE THE SIGN ON THE DOOR. YOUR CREW HAS TORN OUT THAT ALLEY AND IS NOW IN THE PROCESS OF LAYING A BRAND NEW ALLEY AND POURING NEW CONCRETE, AND THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A BRAND NEW ALLEY. HE HASN'T COME OVER TO SAY THANK YOU YET,UT WHAT I DID TELL HIM THE LAST TIME WAS DON'T THANK ME. SEND FLOWERS TO YOU, SO IF YOU RECEIVE SOME FLOWERS FROM SOME STRANGE GUY, HE IS PAYING OFF THE OBLIGATION THAT I TOLD HIM HE HAD TO DO. THANK YOU. >> THAT'S FANTASTIC. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU FOR THIS, DAN. I HAVEN'T ADVISED ANYBODY TO SEND YOU FLOWERS. MAYBE I CAN START TO DO THAT. THANK YOU FOR THE PHENOMENAL WORK YOUNDOUR CREW HEONE DURING THE MINI-FREEZE AND MUCH MORE A YEAR AGO. IN THE 15,000 REQUESTS THAT YOU RECEIVED, I ASSUME THAT WAS LAST CALENDAR YEAR 2021. IS THAT REPRESENTATIVE HAVE A NORMAL YEAR? I KNOW WE HAD SNOW MAGEDDON PROBABLY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF REQUESTS DRAMATICALLY. HOW REPRESENTATIVE IS THAT OF A NORMAL YEAR, AND FROM WHERE DO THE REQUESTS COME SNL LIKE PHONE CALLS VERSUS THE FIX IT PLANO APP VERSUS MARK SAYING, HEY, THERE'S A POTHOLE HERE. >> OFTEN MARK REALLY. (LAUGHING). >> A MALCONTENT. THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. SINCE CARTOGRAPH IS FAIRLY NEW, WE ONLY GOT FULLY INTO CARTOGRAPH IN 2020 WHEN EVERYBODY ONLINE. I DON'T HAVE A GREAT HISTORY RIGHT NOW TO TELL YOU IT SHOULD BE 15,000 OR 13,000, BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT THEY'VE COME FROM CITIZENS AND FROM FIX, IT FROM CITY MANAGEMENT, THEY COME FROM YOU ALL THROUGH CITY MANAGEMENT AS WELL. THEY COME FROM MY MOTHER, WHO IS IN PLANO. EY COME FROM ANYWHERE. WHEN SOMEONE CALLS IN, IT GETS LOCKED IN THE CARTOGRAPH AS A REQUEST, AND THEN WE HAVE A STAPH MONEY THAT GOES OUT THERE, INVESTIGATES, AND THEN IT GETS CLOSED OUT, AND THERE'S A NOTE IN THE SYSTEM AS WELL. THERE'S GOING TO BE A HISTORY BEHIND EVERY REQUEST THAT COMES IN, AND YOU'LL SEE TASKS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT AS WELL WHEN THEY DID THE REPAIR. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> SURE. >> COUNCILMAN SMITH. THANK YOU. JUST ONE QUICK THING THAT YOU HAD GONE OVER IN YOUR PRESENTATION. I THINK IT'S WELL WORTH MENTIONING AGAIN. WHAT WE'VEEARNED OVER THE LAST COUP OF YEARS, AND WE'VE GOT THE CHLORINE TREATMENT COMING UP. IT HAS TO BE DONE ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. CAN YOU GO THROUGH THAT JUST BRIEFLY AGAIN? WHAT WE LEARNED AND WHAT WE'RE DOING AND WHY WE'RE DOING IT BECAUSE THE LAST TWO YEARS EVERYTHING WE'RE DOING HAS BEEN GREAT. I THINK AS BOARD PEOPLE WE UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE DOING. >> WE'VE GOTTEN MORE TECHNICAL AND UTILIZED CARTOGRAPH. THAT'S WHERE IT CAME DOWN TO. WE HAD TO HAVE A PLAN, AND WE DID, AND THE FIRST STEP IS WHEN WATER COMES IN FROM NORTH TEXAS TO YOU ARE ON TANKS, WE WANT OUR TANKS LOW. THE MONOCHLORINE WATER CAN GET OUT QUICKLY WITH THE FREE CHLORINE WATER -- REDUCE THAT MIXING, AND THEN YOU HAVE WATER HYDRANTS THAT WERE FLUSHING EVERY THREE TO FOUR HOURS, AND YOU WILL SEE IT TURN OVER TO THE NEW DISINFECTANT, AND YOU KEEP FLUSHING FOR A WHILE LONGER TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T GO BACK. WATER MOVES ALL OVER THE SYSTEM. LET ME KNOW WE CAN STOP FLUSHING AND GO BACK TO NORMAL OPERATIONS FOR THREE WEEKS A TURN IT BACK OVER AGAIN AT THE END OF MARCH. THERE'S A LOT OF THOUGHT THAT GOES INTO IT. A LOT OF PLANNING. DWOENT WANT TO HEAR THOSE CALLS. NOBODY WANTS TO SMELL CHLORINE IN THEIR WATER. IT'S NOT HARMFUL OR PLEASANT. WE'VE DONE A LOT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE TURNING THE WATER OVER. WHATEVER WE'VE BEEN DOING, LET'S KEEP IT UP. THANKS. >> THANK YOU. I JUST WANTED REITERATE THAT AS YOU ARE ALL WEAR, WE'VE MADE A CONCERTED EFFORT ON INFRASTRUCTURE OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS THAT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH. ESPECIALLY WITH THE AUTHORITY THAT THE CITY GRANTED IN THE LAST BOND REFERENDUM. DAN AND HIS TEAM ARE OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE A REALLY INTEGRAL PIECE TO HOW WE GO ABOUT THAT MANAGEMENT. GETS USED TO DAN. GET USED TO HIS SPACE COMING TO PRESENT TO YOU BECAUSE INFRASTRUCTURE IS A PRIORITY IN THIS ORGANIZATION, AND IN THIS COMMUNITY, AND DAN IS REALLY, AS YOU CAN SEE, TAKEN A LEADERSHIP ROLE AND MAKING SURE WE'RE STING TOP OF THINGS USING ADVANCED CONSTRUCTION METHODS AND DOING THE BEST WE CAN TO MAKE SURE WE'RE BRINGING OUR I OBJECT FROM A STRUCTURE UP TO THE STATUS THAT NEEDS TO BE IN THE CITY OF EXCELLENCE. THERE BEING NO FURTHER BUSINESS, THE MEETING IS ADJOURNED. (MEETING ADJOURNED
