WELCOME TO THE STUDY SESSION OF AUGUST 10TH, 2026.
I WOULD LIKE TO CALL THIS, UH, MEETING TO ORDER.
UM, DO WE NEED TO, I DON'T SEE ROLL CALL ON HERE.
COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS IS ABSENT.
AND COUNCIL MEMBER HAWKINS HERE.
[ Consent Agenda Items listed on the Consent Agenda may be enacted by one motion and one vote. If a discussion is required by members of the governing body, the item will be removed from the Consent Agenda for discussion and determination will be made if the item will be considered separately.]
TO OUR AUDIENCE, IT MIGHT SEEM LIKE I HAVE A FIXATION OF GAVELING.IN FACT, THESE ARE SLICED AND DICED SEPARATELY AND SHOW UP IN DIFFERENT WAYS, UH, AS SEPARATE MEETINGS.
SO WE HAVE A FEW ITEMS CALLED IN.
FIRST IS, UH, ITEM NUMBER THREE AND FOUR, THE KYRENE BRANCH AND HIGHLINE CANAL PATHS.
IF WE COULD HAVE, UH, A BRIEFING BY COUNCIL
[3. Construction Agreement for the Kyrene Branch and Highline Canal Shared Use Paths Move City Council award Construction Agreement No. TP2202.401 to KLASS Services Inc. for the Kyrene Branch and Highline Canal Shared Use Paths, in an amount not to exceed $3,530,218. Council Focus Area(s):]

Council Focus Area(s):]
MEMBER ORLANDO.I THINK JASON WILL DO THE BRIEFING.
I MEAN, IF YOU WANNA DO IT, I, THAT'S OKAY.
MAYOR, REASON WHY I CALLED THIS IS BECAUSE IT WAS AN EXCITING PROJECT HERE.
ALRIGHT, SO WE'D JUST LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT AND NOT A PRESENTATION.
ALRIGHT, WELL, NO, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
SO, YEAH, THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT AND IT'S ACTUALLY RELATED TO THREE AGENDA ITEMS. UH, ONE FOR A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT, ANOTHER FOR POST-DESIGN SERVICES, AND ANOTHER FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT.
UM, THE KYRIE BRANCH AND HIGHLAND CANAL PROJECT IS INCLUDED IN THE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN.
THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE CANALS THAT ARE UNIMPROVED IN THE WESTERN PART OF THE CITY, UH, KY BRANCH, UH, OVER BY KYRIE ROAD AND THE HIGH LINE OVER BY 56.
SO EACH OF THESE PATHS IS IMPROVED IN THE CITY OF TEMPE, BUT THE IMPROVEMENT STOP ONCE YOU REACH THE CHANDLER TEMPE BORDER.
SO THIS PROJECT WILL SIMPLY COMPLETE THE IMPROVEMENTS AND MAKE A CRITICAL CONNECTION TO THE REGIONAL TRAIL SYSTEM.
THE KYRENE BRANCH SHARED USE PATH IS ABOUT A MILE IN LENGTH.
UH, ADDITIONALLY IT WILL INSTALL A TRAFFIC SIGNAL TO HELP TRAIL USERS GET ACROSS KYRENE ROAD.
I WANNA NOTE THAT THIS TRAFFIC SIGNAL IS IN THE CITY OF TEMPE, UH, WHICH WILL BE OWNED AND OPERATED BY THE CITY OF TEMPE.
THE HIGHLINE CANAL IS ABOUT A QUARTER MILE, AND IT SPANS FROM THE CITY OF TEMPE, CITY OF CHANDLER BORDER TO ORCHID LANE.
ADDITIONALLY, WE'LL INSTALL BIKE LANES ON ORCHID LANE AND GREEN PAVEMENT MARKINGS.
UM, I DO WANNA NOTE THAT BOTH PROJECTS DO HAVE TRAIL AMENITIES FOR USERS SUCH AS LIGHTING BENCHES, TRASH RECEPTACLES, UH, WAYFINDING SIGNAGE, UM, ET CETERA.
SO LOOKING AT WHERE WE'VE BEEN AND WHERE WE'RE GOING, THE PROJECT EFFORTS BEGAN BACK IN 2022, UM, WITH A DESIGN ASSISTANCE STUDY.
DESIGN TOOK PLACE BETWEEN 2023 AND 2025, DURING WHICH WE ACQUIRED RIGHT OF WAY AND CLEARANCES TO ALLOW US TO BUILD THE PROJECT.
LOOKING FORWARD, CONSTRUCTION START LATER THIS YEAR.
SHOULD WRAP UP BY THE END OF 2027 OR EARLY INTO 2028.
IF NOT, I WANNA MAKE NOTE THAT WE DID HAVE SEVERAL PUBLIC MEETINGS AND SEVERAL OTHER OUTREACH OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE PUBLIC AND STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS AS WELL.
UH, OVER THIS PERIOD, WE DID RECEIVE QUITE A FEW COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC, AND AS A RESULT, WE MADE SEVERAL CHANGES TO THE PROJECT TO ADDRESS THESE COMMENTS, SUCH AS WE REMOVED A PROPOSED TRAFFIC SIGNAL ON RAILROAD AT THE KYRIE BRANCH CROSSING.
UM, WE ADDED SEVERAL SIGNS OF PRIVATE PROPERTY NOTICES CHANGE THE LIGHTING TO MATCH A LOCAL COMMUNITY BETTER.
UH, WE ADDED GATES ALONG THE ING BRANCH CANAL TO PREVENT VEHICULAR ACCESS.
UM, AND, AND THOSE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE CHANGES THAT WE MADE.
FINALLY, I'D LIKE TO NOTE THAT THIS PROJECT IS GRANT FUNDED.
WE HAVE RECEIVED OVER $5 MILLION OF GRANTS TO DATE.
UH, THE GRANTS WILL PAY FOR ABOUT 94% OF THE PROJECT.
WE HAVE A 5.7% LOCAL MATCH, UM, WHICH WILL BE SPLIT PROPORTIONATELY WITH THE CITY OF TEMPE AS THEY WILL BE PAYING THE LOCAL MATCH FOR IMPROVEMENTS MADE IN THE CITY OF TEMPE.
SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND WITH THAT, I WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
YEAH, JASON, THERE REASON, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, THIS HAS BEEN A, A FEW, UH, A LOT OF STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF HOW WE WORK WITH THE NEIGHBORHOODS.
ANOTHER CITY, SRP, OBVIOUSLY, TO PUT THIS PROJECT TOGETHER.
SO AGAIN, IT'S JUST ONE OF THE THINGS WE DO WELL AT CHANDLER THAT WE WORK, LISTEN TO THE NEIGHBORS AND WE MOVE, UH, ACCORDINGLY.
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? NO, THANK YOU, JASON.

UH, OUT AT, UH, TUMBLEWEED PARK, UM, THE MAIN PHASES, PHASE ONE, UH, IS SHOWN ON THIS MAP IN AS AREA A AND PHASE TWO IS THE GREEN, UH, AREA B, UH, AND THE RED LINE SHOWS, UH, THE, THE TOTAL PROJECT AREA, UH, THAT WILL BE IMPROVED DURING THIS TIMEFRAME WHERE THERE'LL BE GRADING AND TREES PLANTED AS WELL, UH, TO IMPROVE THE RANCH.
UH, THE PHASE ONE IS RED SHE THEATER, UM, WHICH WILL INCLUDE DESERT PLANTING AND INTERPRETIVE PATHWAY TO TALK ABOUT FARM EQUIPMENT FOR DESERT FARMING, AS WELL AS A RELOCATION OF THE HISTORIC RED SHE THEATER, INCLUDING THE 200 SEAT AMPHITHEATER.
UM, THIS AMPHITHEATER WILL BE USED NOT ONLY FOR, UH, SPECIAL EVENTS, BUT ALSO FOR OUR FIELD TRIP PROGRAM, UH, THAT GOES ON OUT AT THE RANCH.
UM, IT WILL FEATURE, UH, CEMENT SEATING AND CAPACITY FOR 200 PEOPLE AS WELL AS, UH, AUDIO EQUIPMENT THAT ALLOWS, UH, UH, THE, THE PRODUCTION OF, OF SHOWS AND MUSIC DURING EVENTS, UH, THAT YOU CAN SEE THE RED SHE THEATER AS THE BACKGROUND OF THIS STAGE AREA.
AND IT ALSO WILL BE AN INTERPRETIVE SPACE FOR THE FIELD TRIP PROGRAM.
THE OTHER AREA, PHASE TWO OF THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT WILL IMPROVE THE FARMHOUSE AREAS.
THERE'S TWO HISTORIC FARMHOUSES OUT THERE.
UH, THE MCCROSKEY HOUSE AND THE EDWARDS HOUSE.
THIS PROJECT WILL IMPROVE THE AREA SURROUNDING THOSE HOUSES, INCLUDING, ESPECIALLY THE BOARDWALK THAT YOU SEE AT THE, THE TOP OF THAT DRAWING THERE.
UM, THAT WILL, UH, PROVIDE GRADE LEVEL ENTRANCE FOR FOLKS INTO THESE HISTORIC STRUCTURES.
UP TO THIS POINT, THERE WERE STEPS UP TO THE BUILDING WHICH PREVENTED PEOPLE WITH MOBILITY ISSUES FROM ENTERING INTO THE, THE BUILDINGS.
SO THIS WILL CHANGE THAT AS WELL AS THE SENSORY GUARDING AND THE FARMHOUSE, UH, EVENT AREA.
THAT'S A SMALL AREA FOR SMALLER TYPE EVENTS AS WELL AS FAMILY GATHERINGS AND WHATNOT.
THERE WILL ALSO BE, UH, THE GRAPE BARBER THAT YOU SEE AT THE BOTTOM, WHICH WILL BE AN INTERPRETIVE PATH THAT WILL ALLOW ADDITIONAL FARM EQUIPMENT TO BE INTERPRETED ABOUT THE HISTORY AND INNOVATION AS THAT FARM EQUIPMENT DEVELOPED.
AND FINALLY, OVER TO THE RIGHT YOU'LL SEE A GARAGE.
UH, THIS WILL BE A NEW STRUCTURE BUILT FOR THE INTERPRETATION OF DR.
CHANDLER'S, UH, VEHICLE THAT WE HAVE IN OUR COLLECTION.
THE FIRST TIME IT'LL BE ABLE TO PERMANENTLY BE ON DISPLAY, UM, IN THE AREA.
THAT SAME AREA, THIS IS THAT BOARDWALK AREA LOOKING TOWARDS, UH, THE MCCROSKEY HOUSE.
YOU CAN SEE THE SENSORY GARDEN OFF TO THE RIGHT THERE.
UM, AS WELL AS THE GREAT BARBARA BEHIND THE EDWARDS HOUSE THAT RUNS TO, UH, THE MCCROSKEY HOUSE.
THIS AREA WILL ALSO PROVIDE EAST-WEST ACCESS TO THE RANCH AND IMPROVE, UH, FLOW THROUGH THE RANCH.
AND WITH THAT, I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.
I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN A PASSION OF YOURS AND, UH, KIM MOYERS FOR A WHILE AND IT'S FINALLY COME FRUITION AND IT'S A GREAT PROJECT.
I LIKE THE SHADE STRUCTURES, I LIKE THE PATHWAYS, AND OF COURSE THE IMPROVEMENT, ALL OF THE FACT, THE, THE, UH, THE DISPLAY AREAS, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT AS WELL.
SO LOOKING FORWARD TO PHASE THREE AND LET'S GET THIS ONE DONE FIRST.
OKAY, GREAT JOB ON THIS ONE AS WELL.
AND I, I LIKE THE EDUCATIONAL COMPONENT WITH THIS.
IT'S REALLY, AND THE AMPHITHEATERS REALLY DRIVES HOME A LOT OF AS WELL.
SO TO THE MAYOR, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER ORLANDO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AND THESE IMPROVEMENTS.
IT REALLY IMPROVES THAT, UH, FRONT PORTION OF THE RANCH FOR EVERYBODY TO USE.
THE ONLY OTHER QUESTION I HAD FOR YOU IS, ARE WE LOOKING AT A COMMUNITY GARDEN HERE AS WELL? THERE IS, I KNOW WE'VE HAD A, I'M SORRY.
I KNOW WE'VE HAD A FEW INQUIRIES ON THAT JUST RECENTLY, IN FACT ABOUT SUPPORTING COMMUNITY GARDEN.
AND I WONDER IF THERE'S SOME THOUGHTS PROCESS ON THAT ONE.
UM, THERE CURRENTLY ISN'T ANY PLAN FOR COMMUNITY GARDENS.
UM, THERE IS THE DEMONSTRATION FIELDS TO THE EASTERN SIDE, UM, AND THAT'S WHERE THE FFA KIDS, UH, DO, UH, GARDENING LIKE THAT AS WELL.
BUT THERE ISN'T CURRENTLY A PLAN FOR COMMUNITY GARDENS.
THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING WE MIGHT CONSIDER.
I KNOW WE DO HAVE, UH, THE, THE GUTS OF A GARDEN THAT HAS NOT BEEN TOO SUCCESSFUL IN OUR DOWNTOWN AREA, PERHAPS THAT WAS, THAT'S ALREADY SET UP.
THAT MIGHT BE, UH, WORTHY OF YOUR INQUIRY TO SEE WHETHER THAT'S YEAH.
JODY, I'M ASKING FOR A FRIEND.
WHAT KIND OF GRAPES? UH, THEY'RE ARIZONA TYPE GRAPES.
UM, SO THEY'RE ACTUALLY MORE FOLIAGE THAN THEY ARE FRUIT, SO, OKAY.

DARN.[26. 2026 City of Chandler Emergency Operations Plan Move City Council approve the 2026 City of Chandler Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) and authorize the Mayor to execute a Letter of Promulgation. Council Focus Area(s):]
IS ITEM NUMBER 26, UH, CITY OF CHANDLER EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLANNED, UH, QUESTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER HAWKINS.I DON'T SEE WHETHER YOU WANT A PRESENTATION OR A QUESTION.
UM, I WAS LOOKING FOR A PRESENTATION.
MOSTLY, UM, I FEEL LIKE JUST GIVEN THE THINGS THAT WE'VE SEEN ACROSS THE NATION LATELY, JUST SOME OF THOSE HISTORIC, UM, DISASTERS THAT HAVE OCCURRED, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE PRUDENT FOR US TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE KIND OF WHAT OUR STRATEGY LOOKS LIKE, HOW WE CAME TO THOSE CONCLUSIONS, UM, AND JUST KIND OF HEAR FROM YOU.
FIRST I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE MYSELF.
THE EASY WAY TO REMEMBER IT IS, HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM.
AND SO HOPEFULLY IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S NEVER APPLICABLE HERE IN CHANDLER, BUT JUST IN CASE WE'VE GOT THAT LOCKED IN, I AM YOUR EMERGENCY MANAGER.
I WORK UNDER THE AMAZING FIRE DEPARTMENT.
AND SO, IN ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION, WE HAVE RECENTLY, UM, WE'VE DONE A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF OUR EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN.
IT HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY UPDATED.
IT'S A PLAN THAT IS TYPICALLY UPDATED EVERY FIVE YEARS, WHICH LAST ONE WAS DONE BACK IN 2022.
SO WE WERE RIGHT ABOUT THE PERFECT TIME.
THE CHANGES TO THIS ONE, THIS ONE IS SOLUTIONS BASED.
SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THE OUTCOMES.
HOW CAN WE QUICKLY RESTORE CHANDLER, GET OUR RESIDENTS, OUR CITY, BACK TO NORMAL AS SOON AS AND EFFECTIVELY AS POSSIBLE.
SO THAT'S WHAT THAT THIS PLAN FOCUSES ON.
WE HAVE WORKED WITH ALL CITY DEPARTMENTS, WE WORKED WITH ANY OF THE PARTNER AGENCIES THAT NEED TO BE IDENTIFIED WITHIN THE PLAN.
THEY ALSO WILL BE RECEIVING A COPY OF THE PLAN.
AND, UH, WE WILL CONTINUE TO, THIS ISN'T A PLAN THAT'LL JUST SIT ON A SHELF.
WE'LL CONTINUE TO TRAIN, EXERCISE, MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE CAPABILITIES THAT WE NEED TO EFFECTIVELY DO WHAT WE ALREADY DO.
COUNCIL MEMBER HAWKINS, THANK YOU.
UM, YOU KNOW, I HAVE ALL THE CONFIDENCE IN THE WORLD, BUT IT'S ALWAYS GREAT TO HAVE, LIKE, IF SOMETHING WERE LIKE THAT TO HAPPEN HERE IN CHANDLER, THAT WE HAVE A PLAN AND WE HAVE A STRATEGY MOVING FORWARD.
SO, UM, I JUST WANTED TO ASSURE OUR RESIDENTS AND, AND JUST MAKE SURE THAT IT'S KNOWN THAT WE HAVE THE CONFIDENCE AND THE WHEREABOUTS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE TAKE CARE OF ANYTHING THAT COMES OUR WAY.
ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS MAY ANSWER QUICKLY.
COUNCIL MORALES, WE TALKING ABOUT DISASTER PLAN.
THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OF MY BACKGROUND, SO I JUST WANTED TO FIND OUT WHERE, WHEN IT COMES TO MEDICAL AND THINGS LIKE THAT, ARE WE ATTACHED WITH, UH, DHS AND ALL THESE OTHER DEPARTMENTS HERE WHEN IT COMES TO THE STATE, AT THE STATE LEVEL SO THAT IF THERE'S A DISASTER, THE DISASTER RELIEF, AND HOW DO WE BRING IN OTHER, OTHER CITIES AND ALSO NOT ONLY CITIES, BUT STATES ALSO WITHIN CHANDLER TO HELP TO ALLEVIATE SOME OF THAT MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBER ELLIS? THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.
WE NOT ONLY IDENTIFY THAT IN THE PLAN A LITTLE, A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MY BACKGROUND.
SO I CAME FROM THE STATE BEFORE I CAME HERE.
SO NOT ONLY DO I HAVE THOSE PERSONAL CONNECTIONS, I CAN PICK UP THE PHONE, MAKE SURE IT GETS ANSWERED, BUT, YOU KNOW, ALL, ALL DISASTERS, THEY START AND END AT THE LOCAL LEVEL.
SO WE MAKE SURE THAT WE MAKE SURE WE MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO WHAT WE DO HERE FIRST, SHOULD WE EXCEED OUR CAPABILITY, NEED THAT EXTRA HELP, WE'RE GONNA GO TO THE COUNTY, GO TO THE STATE, GO TO THE FEDERAL.
WE HAVE MUTUAL AID AGREEMENTS IN PLACE OKAY.
AND INCLUDING INTERSTATE AGREEMENTS THROUGH, UM, NATIONAL AGREEMENTS THAT WE HAVE.
SO WE, WE SCALE IT UP AS NEEDED AND BRING IT BACK DOWN TO WHERE, WHERE IT WOULD START AND END.
BUT WE DO HAVE THE PROPER TRAINING, THE RIGHT PEOPLE IN PLACE.
AND I PERSONALLY KNOW A LOT OF THEM.
SO YEAH, BECAUSE I REMEMBER WHEN COVID HAPPENED, WE WERE ALL SCRAMBLING, THAT'S FOR SURE.
BUT AT THIS POINT, UM, HAVING YOU ON BOARD AND KNOWING THAT RIGHT NOW WE HAVE ALREADY LEARNED FROM WHAT HAPPENED AND WHAT WE CAN DO IN THE FUTURE.
SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS PLAN.
AND I, I SEE I SAW THE CHIEF IN EARLIER, HE'S RIGHT OVER THERE, AND I WAS IN COMMUNICATION WITH HIM PRETTY MUCH ON A DAILY BASIS WHEN WE WERE DEALING WITH COVI AND DEALING WITH THE STATE AND ALSO MARICOPA COUNTY.
SO THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO.

40, 41, 42, 43, 44.UH, COUNCIL MEMBER ORLANDO HAS QUESTIONS OR PRESENTATIONS.
NO, AGAIN, MAYOR AS, AS YOU KNOW, AS WELL AS I DO, WE JUST HAD A, A PRESENTATION ON WATER RATES.
AND IT'S IMPORTANT, I THINK EVERY TIME WE GET A CHANCE TO, UH, SPEAK WITH THE PUBLIC OF WHERE THOSE, THAT, WHERE THAT MONEY'S GOING TOWARDS.
AND I THINK THESE ARE JUST FOUR PROJECTS THAT AMPLIFY OR AT LEAST, UH, EXEMPLIFY THE, THE, UH, WHAT WE'RE
[00:15:01]
DOING TO MAKE OUR ASSURED WATER SUPPLY AND OUR ROBUST SYSTEM.AND I, ONCE YOU GIVE A COUPLE MINUTES JUST TO GO OVER WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE, PROCEED, JEREMY.
SO ITEMS 40, 41, 42 ARE ALL, UH, RELATED ITEMS, UH, SPECIFIC TO OUR AQUIFER STORAGE AND RECOVERY WELLS.
AND THIS, WELL SPECIFICALLY IS ONE OF 10, UH, WITHIN THE TUMBLEWEED PARK AREA.
AND THESE THREE ITEMS COVER THE DESIGN, THE CONSTRUCTION OVERSIGHT, AND THE DRILLING OF THE REPLACEMENT, UH, FOR A SR NUMBER EIGHT.
UH, WE ARE ACTUALLY, UM, AGAIN, TO, TO KEEP COSTS DOWN.
WE'RE, WE'RE, UH, RE THE NEW WELL IN PROXIMITY TO THE EXISTING ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT SO THAT ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT STILL IN GOOD CONDITION CAN BE REUSED FOR THIS NEW WELL LOCATION.
ITEM 43 IS, UH, UH, FOCUSED ON THE REHAB OF ONE OF OUR EXISTING LIFT STATIONS.
ON OUR WASTEWATER COLLECTION SIDE, WE HAVE EIGHT LIFT STATIONS CITYWIDE.
AND WE, AGAIN, NEED TO ENSURE THAT IT'S IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION.
SO WE'LL TAKE IT OUTTA SERVICE.
WE'LL DO AN INSPECTION ON THE WET WELL, THE WET WELL IS, IS THE CONCRETE STRUCTURE THAT'S BELOW GROUND AND THERE'S SPECIAL COATINGS, UM, ON THOSE WET WELLS TO PROTECT THE CONCRETE FROM DEGRADING OVER TIME.
SO THAT'S PART OF THE, UH, UH, REHAB AND THE INSPECTION THAT, THAT WILL TAKE PLACE AS WE DESIGN THAT, THAT, THAT UPGRADE IN THE FUTURE.
AND THEN ITEM 44, UH, LAST BUT NOT LEAST, UH, THIS IS AN INVESTMENT ON ONE OF MANY, UH, REMOTE, UH, WATER FACILITIES THAT WE HAVE THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF CHANDLER.
THIS ONE SPECIFICALLY IS OUR BACHA WATER PRODUCTION FACILITY, WHICH, UH, LIVES, UH, JUST WITHIN, UH, SENATOR PARK AND SERVES AT THAT AREA.
UH, THIS LOCATION IS COMPRISED OF A 2 MILLION GALLON STEEL WATER RESERVOIR, UH, PUMPS AND MOTORS AND A LOT OF ELECTRICAL GEAR.
PART OF THAT TOO, WE ALSO HAVE TWO WELLS THAT ARE OFFSITE OF THAT LOCATION, THAT FEED AND FILL THAT RESERVOIR TO AGAIN, MEET THE DEMANDS OF OUR CUSTOMERS.
SO WE, WE INSPECT AND WE STRATEGICALLY TAKE THESE OFFLINE WHEN DEMANDS ARE LOW TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE CONTINUING TO BE OPERATIONAL IN THE FUTURE.
UH, SOME OF THE REHAB WILL INCLUDE REPLACEMENT OF, OF THE PUMPS, THE BOOSTER PUMPS, AND THE MOTORS, AS WELL AS SOME OF THE ELECTRICAL GEAR.
AND THEN WHEN WE DO TAKE THE RESERVOIR OFFLINE, WE'LL CLEAN IT, WE'LL INSPECT THE COATING, WE'LL INSPECT THE STEEL AS WELL, AND MAKE SURE IT'S ALL IN GOOD WORKING ORDER BEFORE WE RECOAT IT OR REPAIR IT AND PUT IT BACK IN SERVICE.
SO THAT'S, I KNOW I COVERED, YOU KNOW, MANY OF OUR ITEMS, BUT IN A NUTSHELL THAT THOSE ARE THE, THE PRIMARY FOCUSES OF, OF THESE FIVE CONTRACTS.
AGAIN, I APPRECIATE JEREMY, AGAIN, IT'S A LOT OF WORK, UH, UH, THAT GOES BEHIND THE SCENE AS WELL AS, UH, THE RESIDENTS NEED TO UNDERSTAND.
AND, UH, ANYTIME THEY WANNA WELD TOUR, LET US KNOW.
WE'LL BE HAPPY TO TAKE YOU OUT, SEE MORE OF THE WELLS, RIGHT? ABSOLUTELY.
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR JEREMY? NO, THANK YOU.
COUNCIL, THAT CONCLUDES ALL THE ITEMS CALLED IN.
