would provide non-perishable items to her guests such as cereal bars, etc. Ms. Hudson also noted that the City Council did not have the authority to enforce deed restrictions. Suzy Seitzler, 510 Aztec Drive, Robinson, Texas 76706 asked if this application met the definition of a hosted bed and breakfast if Ms. Hudson was not going to serve breakfast as Ms. Hudson previously stated at the Planning and Zoning Meeting.

to Eagle Eye Consulting and Construction, LLC at a total cost of $134,917.00. Utility System Director Greg Hobbs presented this item and stated staff recently went out for bid for the Lux Force Main Reroute Project. The engineer’s probable cost for this was $194,450.00. Mr. Hobbs stated twelve companies submitted bids that ranged from $134,917.00 to $268,925.00. The low bid was from Eagle Eye Consulting and Construction. Mr. Hobbs stated although Walker Partners has not worked with this company in the past, references were requested and submitted for review. Mr. Hobbs stated the references that Eagle Eye submitted all spoke very highly of the owner of the company. Mr. Hobbs stated Walker Partner’s believes this company is knowledgeable in the installation of municipal utilities and recommends we award the bid to the low bidder, Eagle Eye Consulting and Construction. Mayor Echterling asked Jacob Hinson with Walker Partners about the references. Mr. Hinson stated the company was fairly new, but recently completed a project and Cameron, Texas and the comments were positive. Councilmember Jimmy Rogers questioned the cost difference in the bids submitted. Mr. Hobbs indicated although the bids varied, the piping cost appeared to be the major difference in the bids received. Councilmember Rogers asked if Mr. Hobbs felt comfortable with this company.

16. Discussion related to the Bulk/Brush day the city offers our residents. Utility System Director Greg Hobbs presented this item and stated approximately twenty years ago the City of Robinson started offering the Bulk/Brush day to our residents in order to dispose of unwanted items. Mr. Hobbs stated the City included in our solid waste contract four large roll-off dumpsters and 48 free hauls to utilize for this service. Over time the number of citizens utilizing this service has increased. Mr. Hobbs said city employees who work this day have stated that there are numerous times when the four dumpsters we have onsite will not hold the amount of bulk material that we are receiving; therefore, he items are put on the ground and once the roll-offs are dumped staff goes back up and fills two to four of them with the overflow. Mr. Hobbs stated at this rate we will use our 48 free hauls long before the year is over and it will then cost the city approximately $305 per roll-off to have them dumped. Mr. Hobbs stated if we continue to use an average of 6 a month, we will have to spend about $7,300 in disposal costs which is not currently budgeted. We currently charge $10 per load regardless of whether it is brush or bulk. Mr. Hobbs said our curbside trash service includes three cubic yards of bulk per week, but it appears many are not utilizing this service in favor of the once a month pick up. Mr. Hobbs then stated the City also has to consider how we are going to dispose of all the brush that has been

Page 7 of 8

received over the years of providing this service to our residents. Mr. Hobbs stated a chipper was purchased for this purpose but is not adequate to address the size and quantity of brush received, and burning it creates hazards due to the amount of vegetation surrounding the area. Mr. Hobbs said staff has received quotes for having a large industrial chipper brought in to address the material piled there now, but we will still have to come up with a better way to dispose of each months’ worth of brush. Council agreed this service was important to our community and the cost may need to be increased to continue providing this service to the citizens. Council asked staff to prepare a cost analysis in order to better determine the steps moving forward. No action taken.

Consider and possible action approving a Tax Abatement Agreement with Encompass Health Texas Real Estate, LLC and Encompass Rehabilitation Hospital of Waco, LLC (guaranteed by Encompass Health Corporation) for a for-profit inpatient rehabilitation hospital. City Manager Craig Lemin provided a brief overview of the proposed Tax Abatement Agreement and stated the TIRZ Board met on February 4, 2020 and approved the agreement as presented. Councilmember Steve Janics motioned to approve the Tax Abatement Agreement with Encompass Health Texas Real Estate, LLC and Encompass Rehabilitation Hospital of Waco, LLC (guaranteed by Encompass Health Corporation) for a for-profit inpatient rehabilitation hospital as presented. Mayor Bert Echterling seconded this motion. Voting in favor: Mastergeorge, Follender, Stivener, Janics, Eubank and Echterling. There were no opposing votes and motion carried unanimously.

8. Discussion related to Robinson Festival and setting the date for 2020. Assistant to the City Manager Destiny DeLillo presented this item and stated there were several items staff would like to discuss with Council to and consider in regards to the festival. Mrs. DeLillo stated the first of those is the date for this year's festival. Mrs. DeLillo said the availability of dates for this year is minimal and provided a brief summary of events that we could potentially be competing with. Mrs. DeLillo felt weighing all options, our best bet is to go with Saturday, September 26th, making a Baylor home football game our primary competition for the day. Mrs. DeLillo said the second item to consider is the focus of the festival. History shows there are two distinct conflicting audiences attending the event, limiting us on what we can achieve monetarily. Mrs. DeLillo said our primary audience is there for family-friendly activities, making up about 75% of our attendance with the other 25% being there for a specific band. The difference in interest for the two audiences makes it difficult to charge fees that would help offset band costs. Mrs. DeLillo said in 2017, we increased gate fees to $10 for everyone after 6 p.m. in an attempt to recoup band costs from the appropriate audience. We ended up having several people show up at 5:55 p.m. so they wouldn't have to pay the extra $5. Mrs. DeLillo said we also had several disappointed parents because they paid $10 for their child to get in and later found out the kid's area had closed. Mrs. DeLillo felt bands were just not bringing in the audience we thought they would, especially when considering the cost associated with each. Mrs. DeLillo said after hosting four successful festivals and with the discussion of potential dates, staff felt this was a great time to review the overall festival and gain insight from the council on how to move forward, so we can make any necessary adjustments. Council and Staff discussed the various dates and potential conflicts. Council also discussed the option of splitting the event into a two-day festival, with the band on Friday night, and the

kid’s friendly events on Saturday. Mrs. DeLillo stated with the City not being able to close the street until after school, it would be almost impossible to set up the stage, fencing, etc. before a band could begin on Friday night. Other options were discussed regarding changing the month of the festival, and increasing the cost to attend the festival. Overall, Council and Staff feel this is a great opportunity to provide the citizens and would like to see it continue. John Edwards, 110 E Santa Anna, Robinson, Texas 76706, requested to speak on this item, and asked the Council who the target audience was. He felt if this question was answered, then any decisions moving forward would be easier. Council requested additional time to consider the options and requesting to have additional discussion on this item at the March 3, 2020 meeting.

9. Adjourn. Meeting adjourned at 6:53 p.m.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM MEMORANDUM DEPT./DIVISION SUBMISSION & REVIEW: Justin French, Director of Planning and Development

Regular Agenda Item Date Submitted: 2/26/20

Meeting Date: 3/3/20 Agenda Item #14

PUBLIC HEARING: Continue the Public Hearing, consider and possible action on Ordinance 2020-004 regarding the application of Brenda Baker on behalf of BBTTO, LLC for approval of a specific use permit for an unhosted residential bed and breakfast in the RE Rural Estate District on 1.925 acres known as Tract 40 of the C. O’Campo Survey, addressed at 300 Baker Lane. ITEM DESCRIPTION: This SUP request requires a three-fourths vote of the City Council in order to be approved following P&Z’s recommendation to disapprove and having that greater than 20 percent of the surrounding land area within 200 feet has ownership in opposition. Action on this SUP request was table to this meeting because at the February 4, 2020, City Council meeting a super majority of the City Council were not present to consider the request.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Future Land Use (FLU) Plan within the Community Visions 2034 Comprehensive Plan designates the subject site as Low Density Residential. Single family residential with a target density of four dwelling units per acre is consistent with this land use category. With no change from the RE zoning this request is not inconsistent with the comprehensive plan and the FLU map; however, the comprehensive plan does not address the use of unhosted residential bed and breakfast facilities specifically.

The applicant proposes minimal changes and improvements to the property; therefore, significant changes to the property are not necessitated as long as the unhosted residential bed and breakfast remains in the character of the existing single family residence and screens the additional parking required for guests from neighboring residences. Per Section 3.5.5 of the zoning ordinance, the P&Z may recommend and the City Council may impose additional reasonable conditions necessary to protect the public interest and welfare of the community, including a time period for which a Specific Use Permit is valid. The P&Z and the City Council, in considering and determining the additional conditions, may impose such developmental standards and safeguards as conditions and locations indicate to be important to the welfare and protection of adjacent property from excessive noise, vibration, dust, dirt, smoke, fumes, gas, odor, explosion, glares,

parking congestion, increased traffic, offensive view, diminishment of property value, or other undesirable or hazardous conditions.

On January 9, 2020, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended disapproval by a vote of 5-0. Therefore, this SUP request requires a three-fourths vote of the City Council in order to be approved.

ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant requests to rent and operate an unhosted bed and breakfast at the subject site utilizing an existing 3,243-square-foot residence. The Robinson zoning ordinance defines unhosted residential bed and breakfast facility as, “a dwelling unit that is used for transient lodging with no more than two bedrooms, located in the principal building and rented for compensation. The length of stay is limited to not more than 28 consecutive days. Meal service may be offered on or off site and is for overnight paying guests only at no additional compensation. Cooking and cooking facilities are prohibited in guestrooms, but are permitted in an area dedicated to kitchen uses.” The current zoning of RE Rural Estate District requires City Council approval of a specific use permit prior to conducting this use.

FISCAL IMPACT: N/A

EXISTING CONDITIONS: An existing 3,243-square-foot residence with five bedrooms is presently on the property and was constructed in 1983 according to MCAD’s website. The site has adequate fire protection and utilities, and no portion of the site is located within a significant FEMA designated floodplain. Approval of this specific use permit should not impact the drainage system as long as the developer complies with all City ordinances.

The owner of the property will be required to report hotel/motel tax payments. Per Section 3.5.4 of the zoning ordinance, in determining whether to approve, approve with conditions or deny a Specific User Permit application, the P&Z and City Council shall consider the following criteria:

A. The Special Permit use is compatible with and not injurious to the use and enjoyment of the property and surrounding properties, and does not significantly diminish or impair property values within the immediate vicinity.

B. The establishment of the special use does not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding vacant property.

C. Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage, and other necessary support facilities have been or will be provided.

D. The design, location and arrangement of all driveways and parking spaces provide for the safe and convenient movement of vehicular and pedestrian traffic without adversely affecting the general public or adjacent development.

E. Adequate nuisance prevention measures have been or will be taken to prevent or control offensive odors, fumes, dust, noise and vibration.

F. Directional lighting is provided so as not to disturb or adversely affect neighboring properties.

G. There is sufficient landscaping and screening to insure harmony and compatibility with adjacent property.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM MEMORANDUM DEPT./DIVISION SUBMISSION & REVIEW: Justin French, Director of Planning and Development

Regular Agenda Item Date Submitted: 2/26/20

Meeting Date: 3/3/20 Agenda Item # 15

ITEM DESCRIPTION: PUBLIC HEARING: Conduct a public hearing, consider and possible action on Ordinance 2020-018 regarding the application of Tommy York for approval of a specific use permit for a hosted bed and breakfast in the SF-1 Single Family Residential District on 0.5215 acres known as Lot 13, Block 5 of the Chapman Addition, addressed at 1109 Los Alamitos Circle.

RECOMMENDATION: On February 20, 2020, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended disapproval by a vote of 5-0. Therefore, this SUP request requires a three-fourths vote of the City Council in order to be approved.

The Future Land Use (FLU) Plan within the Community Visions 2034 Comprehensive Plan designates the subject site as Low Density Residential. Single family residential with a target density of four dwelling units per acre is consistent with this land use category. With no change from the SF-1 zoning this request is not inconsistent with the comprehensive plan and the FLU map; however, the comprehensive plan does not address the use of hosted bed and breakfast facilities specifically.

The applicant proposes minimal changes and improvements to the property; therefore, significant changes to the property are not necessitated as long as the hosted bed and breakfast remains in the character of the existing single family residence and the applicant screens from neighboring residences the additional parking required for guests. Per Section 3.5.5 of the zoning ordinance, the P&Z may recommend and the City Council may impose additional reasonable conditions necessary to protect the public interest and welfare of the community, including a time period for which a Specific Use Permit is valid. The applicant proposes to limited the number of guest rooms to one rather than the seven allowed by the definition of the use. This condition has been added to Exhibit B of the draft ordinance to approve the SUP. The P&Z and the City Council, in considering and determining the additional conditions, may impose such developmental standards and safeguards as conditions and locations indicate to be important to the welfare and protection of adjacent property from excessive noise, vibration, dust, dirt, smoke, fumes, gas, odor,

explosion, glares, parking congestion, increased traffic, offensive view, diminishment of property value, or other undesirable or hazardous conditions.

ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant requests to reside at and operate a hosted bed and breakfast at the subject site utilizing the existing 2,277-square-foot residence. The Robinson zoning ordinance defines hosted bed and breakfast facility as, “an owner-occupied establishment that is used for transient lodging with no more than seven (7) guestrooms rented for compensation and located in the principal building. The length of stay is limited to not more than 14 consecutive days. Meal service is prepared and served on-site and is limited to breakfast for overnight paying guests, only, at no additional compensation. Cooking and cooking facilities are prohibited in guestrooms.” The current zoning of SF-1 Single family residential requires City Council approval of a specific use permit prior to conducting this use.

FISCAL IMPACT: N/A

ANALYSIS: The site has adequate fire protection and utilities, and no portion of the site is located within a significant FEMA designated floodplain. Approval of this specific use permit should not impact the drainage system as long as the developer complies with all City ordinances.

The owner of the property will be required to report hotel/motel tax payments. Per Section 3.5.4 of the zoning ordinance, in determining whether to approve, approve with conditions or deny a Specific User Permit application, the P&Z and City Council shall consider the following criteria:

A. The Special Permit use is compatible with and not injurious to the use and enjoyment of the

property and surrounding properties, and does not significantly diminish or impair property values within the immediate vicinity.

B. The establishment of the special use does not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding vacant property.

C. Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage, and other necessary support facilities have been or will be provided.

D. The design, location and arrangement of all driveways and parking spaces provide for the safe and convenient movement of vehicular and pedestrian traffic without adversely affecting the general public or adjacent development.

E. Adequate nuisance prevention measures have been or will be taken to prevent or control offensive odors, fumes, dust, noise and vibration.

F. Directional lighting is provided so as not to disturb or adversely affect neighboring properties. G. There is sufficient landscaping and screening to insure harmony and compatibility with

adjacent property. H. That available community facilities and services, including the road system providing access

to the proposed use, are adequate for the proposed use. I. Specific determinations on the criteria shall be made in any approval, approval with conditions,

or disapproval of an application for a special use permit.

PROPERTY OWNER LETTERS: At the time of this report, staff has not received any returned notices in support and has received two notices in opposition of the requested SUP from the surrounding property owners located within 200 feet of the subject site. The area within 200 feet and representing this opposition is greater than 20 percent of the total area within 200 feet.

ITEM SUMMARY: In June of 2019, the City received notice the City’s latest Building Code Effectiveness Grading will result in the Insurance Services Office (ISO) increasing the City’s ratings from Class PL 6 (for residential development) and CL 5 (for commercial development) to PL 9 and CL 9 unless an improvement plan is approved and implemented prior to June 3, 2020. The proposed improvement plan is to adopt and implement attached building codes for the City in order to maintain current ratings. If the City’s ratings were to increase, property owners in the City should expect property insurance rates to increase.

FISCAL IMPACT: None

Reason: Building tightness is an important part of an energy-efficient and comfortable house. However, 3 air

changes (ACH) per hour at 50 Pascals is an extremely low target tightness, especially for smaller homes.

The ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals shows that around 8% of U.S. homes achieve 3 ACH or less,

13% achieve 4 and less than 23% achieve 5. The proposed 5 ACH while still an aggressive tightness level

will provide a tight, comfortable, energy-efficient home.

E2. Air Leakage Trade-Offs

This Amendment allows builders to trade improvements in other building energy components for

less stringent building envelope pressure test results. This performance option provides flexibility

in meeting the air tightness requirements and provides options for recovering from an

unexpected air tightness test failure.

Revise as follows:

R402.4 Air leakage (Mandatory). The building thermal envelope shall be constructed to limit air leakage in accordance with the requirements of Sections R402.4.1 through R402.4.4.

R402.4.1 Building thermal envelope. The building thermal envelope shall comply with Sections R402.4.1.1 and R402.4.1.2. The sealing methods between dissimilar materials shall allow for differential expansion and contraction.

R402.4.1.1 Installation (Mandatory). The components of the building thermal envelope as listed in Table R402.4.1.1 shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and the criteria listed in Table R402.4.1.1, as applicable to the method of construction. Where required by the code official, an approved third party shall inspect all components and verify compliance.

R402.4.1.2 Testing (Mandatory). The building or dwelling unit shall be tested and verified as having an air

leakage rate of not exceeding 5 air changes per hour in Climate Zones 1 and 2, and 3 air changes per hour in Climate Zones 3 through 8 for air leakage. Testing shall be conducted in accordance with RESNET/ICC 380, ASTM E779 or ASTM E1827 and reported at a pressure of 0.2 inch w.g. (50 Pascals). Where required by the code official, testing shall be conducted by an approved third party. A written report of the results of the test shall be signed by the party conducting the test and provided to the code official. Testing shall be performed at any time after creation of all penetrations of the building thermal envelope. During testing:

1. Exterior windows and doors, fireplace and stove doors shall be closed, but not sealed, beyond the intended weather stripping or other infiltration control measures;

2. Dampers including exhaust, intake, makeup air, backdraft and flue dampers shall be closed, but not sealed beyond intended infiltration control measures; 3. Interior doors, if installed at the time of the test, shall be open; 4. Exterior doors for continuous ventilation systems and heat recovery ventilators shall be closed and sealed; 5. Heating and cooling systems, if installed at the time of the test, shall be turned off; and 6. Supply and return registers, if installed at the time of the test, shall be fully open.

R402.4.1.3 Leakage rate (Prescriptive). The building or dwelling unit shall have an air leakage rate not exceeding 5 air changes per hour in Climate Zones 1 and 2, and 3 air changes per hour in Climate Zones 3 through 8, when tested in accordance with Section R402.4.1.2.

Reason:

These modifications relocate the mandatory maximum air-tightness requirement and provide designers

and builders the flexibility to trade off building tightness with other performance path measures when

using the performance path. Currently the building tightness requirement is “mandatory” and the 3 and 5

ACH tightness levels, even under ideal circumstances, are very difficult to achieve. This amendment will

provide energy neutral trade-offs, for expensive and sometimes unattainable requirements, by allowing

other building improvements to be used to attain the same level of efficiency. This amendment does not

change the stringency; it only increases its flexibility while achieving the required energy efficiency.

c. Basement wall U-factor of 0.360 in warm-humid locations as defined by Figure 301.1 and Table 301.2. d. Foundation U-factor requirements shown in Table 402.1.3 include wall construction and interior air films

but exclude soil conductivity and exterior air films. U-factors for determining code compliance in accordance with Section 402.1.4 (total UA alternative) of Section 405 (Simulated Performance Alternative) shall be modified to include soil conductivity and exterior air films.

Reason:

The increased table values in the 2012 IECC and the 2015 IECC did not show justification for the cost

increases from the 2009 IECC. Studies indicate nationally almost a $6,000 increase to the cost of

constructing a single-family detached dwelling with a 13-year simple payback. With statistics showing that

for every $1,000 increase to the cost of construction nearly 206,000 potential home buyers will not qualify

for a mortgage. This, increase disqualifies approximately 1.3 million families from purchasing a home

every year. That equates to approximately $24,000,000 in potential taxes revenues never being

generated for municipalities.

Reason:

The prescriptive basement wall requirement increased from R-10 to R-15 in the 2012 IECC.

Calculations used to justify the change were based on energy models with less sophisticated

algorithms than Energy Plus, now DOE’s preferred modeling software. When using Energy Plus, the

energy savings in a 700-square-foot basement totaled $7 a year in Chicago (Climate Zone 5). The

additional cost for this is conservatively estimated at $590. This makes the simple payback in excess of

84 years. The values being modified by this proposal are the same as those that DOE proposed in

EC13 during the last code cycle. The values currently adopted were an increase from proposals not

submitted by DOE.

The energy modeling was done using the Energy Plus simulation engine and BEopt version 1.4, Cost

figures came from ASHRAE RP-1481.

Reason:

There were four changes in the Ceiling R-value requirements in the 2012 IECC, none of which should

have been considered cost effective. An energy and cost analysis was performed to show that the

simple paybacks are in the 80-130 year range.

The energy modeling was done using the Energy Plus simulation engine and BEopt version 1.4, Cost

figures came from ASHRAE RP-1481. Vaulted or cathedral ceiling are very problematic when trying to

achieve R-49, which is about 16 inches thick. This would require a rafter at least 17” tall (which does

not exist) or an insulated panel, which represents a very small portion of the market.

figures came from ASHRAE RP-1481. Not only is the payback is extremely long, but for a consumer,

there would be a negative cash flow based on the incremental cost and energy savings. The increase

in the monthly mortgage would be $6.43 (@ 5%) and the average monthly energy savings would be

$4.17 in Zone 3 and $4.92 in Zone 4 causing the home owner to pay more in additional monthly

mortgage payments than the energy savings returns.

Reason:

This amendment serves to retain energy-neutral equipment trade-off provisions from the 2006 IECC

for heating and cooling systems and service water heating. By retaining these, builders have an

opportunity to optimize a code-compliant house design by using energy-efficient equipment. Quite

often, the use of this high-efficiency equipment provides a more cost-effective solution to achieve

code compliance. Eliminating this ability discourages the concept of the “house as a system”

approach, which is a cornerstone of building science.

10/24/2017

Rejecting this amendment will reduce any incentive to install state-of- the-art, energy-efficient

equipment. It will increase the cost of construction by driving builders to often use less efficient

equipment.

Significant improvements in the efficiency of HVAC and water heating equipment have been made in

the last 20 years. With the increased emphasis on new and improved technologies, this trend is

expected to continue and will result in even higher energy savings in future years. If builders are

forced to comply with the energy code by installing requirements which are not cost-effective, there

will be a resistance to install higher efficiency equipment. This could end up hurting energy efficiency

in the long term, consumers which have non-condensing furnaces will be less likely to install a higher

efficiency condensing replacement furnace because of the additional cost to run an exhaust vent.

Industries such as log home manufacturers may no longer be able to construct to projected higher

envelope requirements. The combination of increases in envelope thermal requirements, building

tightness and duct tightness combined with the elimination of energy neutral trade-offs pose a

serious threat to the viability of the log home industry. There are practical limitations to the thickness

of log home walls. Increasing requirements for the log diameter has a exponential increase in the

cost of the logs, making log walls with a U- factor of 0.082 or lower prohibitively expensive

E9. Rooms Containing Fuel Burning Appliances This amendment removes the requirement to insulate, seal and separate from the thermal envelope the area surrounding fuel burning appliances.

Revise as follows:

In Climate Zones 3 through 8, where open combustion air ducts provide combustion air to open combustion fuel burning appliances, the appliances and combustion air opening shall be located outside the building thermal envelope or enclosed in a room, isolated from inside the thermal envelope. Such rooms shall be sealed and insulated in accordance with the envelope requirements of Table R402.1.2, where the walls, floors and ceilings shall meet not less than the basement wall R-value requirement. The door into the room shall be fully gasketed and any water lines and ducts in the room insulated in accordance with Section R403. The combustion air duct shall be insulated where it passes through conditioned space to a minimum of R-8.

Exceptions:

1. Direct vent appliances with both intake and exhaust pipes installed continuous to the outside. 2. Fireplaces and stoves complying with Section R402.4.2 and Section R1006 of the International Residential Code.

Reason:

This was a new section to the 2015 IECC and has proven to be confusing and is being

misinterpreted.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM MEMORANDUM

Consent / Regular Agenda Item Date Submitted: 2/28/2020

Meeting Date: 3/03/2020 Agenda Item #17

DEPT./DIVISION SUBMISSION & REVIEW: Craig Lemin – City Manager ITEM DESCRIPTION: Consider and possible action approving of Change Order #1 to the current Kasparian construction contract in the amount of $919,566 for the installation of additional water lines, sewer lines, drainage, reclamation of Bunker Drive and an increase to the project contingency funds. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Recommend Approval ITEM SUMMARY: Change order # 1 adds to the current construction contract the addition of new waterlines and sewer lines for the proposed hospital and retail/office development site. Included with these lines are some needed improvements to existing services and along a small section of Morse. The sewer cost projection has risen due to the discovery of sand at depths below 10 feet. This makes trenching considerably more dangerous and difficult. More trench safety equipment is necessary and the trench tends to be wider due to the sand falling into the trench which causes to the excavation to take longer. It also increases backfill costs as it again takes longer and backfill material is needed to fill the trench. We are not sure of the total length of the sand, so the contractor has projected their cost anticipating sand at all areas below 10 feet. Doing additional testing the full length of the trench will just add more costs and delays. The contractor has agreed that should they experience portions along the alignment that do not have the poor soils (i.e. sand), they are willing to re-negotiate the applicable bid items unit prices. The waterline, in addition to serving the new development, will increase service to the north side of Loop 340 to help meet the needs of development on that side of they highway. The City had been considering upgrading this line prior to this development be discussed. Since the installation of the new sewer line will be located on Bunker Drive, it will necessitate trenching the roadway from Morse to near Karnes and then patching it upon completion. Since Bunker is slated for the next round of street projects, we would then come back in a year or so and tear it all out. To avoid this, staff is recommending we move Bunker to the current project.

This will include replacing the existing sewer line between Karnes and the main that crosses Bunker between Nelson and Tinsley and reclaim the roadway. This would all be included in the next round of streets so we are not doing any additional work and would most likely save money since prices will most likely increase between now and the next contract. All pricing is based on the pricing in the current contract except those for the trenching in the poor soils. We did explore boring for the line through the poor soils but that cost is higher than what is being proposed. The change order also includes an increase to the contingency funds for the project. We have encountered quite a few unexpected issues as we have moved forward with these projects. These include changing to plastic meter boxes to concrete meter boxes, the need for additional valves, unexpected wastewater issues, driveway issues and service line extension issues. As a result, we have exhausted the current contingency with just over 50% of the project being completed. We are recommending an additional $100,000 be included for contingencies. Representatives from Walker Partners will be available to answer specific questions regarding the change order and pricing. FISCAL IMPACT: $919,566 Sewer Bond Funds = $565,671.40 Water Bond Funds = $138189.50 Street Bond Funds = $115,705.10 Contingency will be allocated to appropriate funding source depending on actual utilization.

Meeting Date: 3/3/20 Agenda Item #18

ITEM DESCRIPTION: Consider and possible action approving a Development Agreement between the City of Robinson and Echterling Builder’s Inc. and authorizing the expenditure of an amount to be confirmed from wastewater bond funds.

The attached

development agreement authorizes the reimbursement of costs incurred for oversizing this facility and the associated work to abandon existing force mains in accordance the approved subdivision construction plans.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM MEMORANDUM

Regular Agenda Item

Date Submitted: 3/3/2020

Meeting Date: 3/3/2020

Agenda Item #19DEPT./DIVISION SUBMISSION & REVIEW:

Destiny DeLillo, Assistant to the City Manager

ITEM DESCRIPTION: Continued Discussion Regarding Robinson Festival

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

ITEM SUMMARY: As previously discussed, there are several conflicting events around the

same time we typically host the Robinson festival. Other topics addressed were alcohol sales,

music options, operating hours and fees, staffing, and the inability to appease the competing

audiences we are trying to accommodate. The discussion was postponed until the next meeting

to allow time for more thought and to gather additional information. If you recall, Mr. John

Edwards spoke during the last meeting and has also provided feedback in an email that is

included.

With the number of conflicting events around the same time as the festival, we discussed

September 26th as a potential date since it does not typically house as many similar events to

the festival. However, George’s would not be available to provide alcohol services since there is

a Baylor home game scheduled for that day. HOT Concessions offers similar services and has

confirmed they are available that day. But, if this is not a feasible partnership, we could see if

any local wineries, microbreweries, or even Dancing Bear Pub would be interested in

participating as a vendor. Just keep in mind, a fence and security would still be required.

We were able to obtain quotes for DJ services since the last meeting, and there would be some

cost savings. If we went with a DJ, we would still be responsible for providing the stage, sound,

and lights (depending on what time the event was over). When you add these costs to the DJ

fees and then compare them to the cost associated with hosting four local bands, there would be

a difference of about $1,000. Granted price could fluctuate depending on performance hours

and pricing requests per local band. There are a couple of stage options we could explore, but

for this year, we are pretty much locked in with TMS Leasing since we were pushing it with

deadlines. We also had to secure some of the kid’s area activities because of deadlines.

Over the last six years, we have received lots of feedback and opinions in the form of surveys,

social media comments, emails, phone conversations, and face to face encounters, but the kid’s

area, bands, and gate area always seem to be the emerging topics. Of course, there are always

suggestions of things to add, but for the most part the compliments and complaints come in the

way of those three areas. The first festival was planned around the feedback provided in a pre-

survey. Then we followed up with a post-survey that demonstrated attendees were satisfied for

the most part. There were mentions of more activities and food variety, which we implemented

the following year. Since then, the area we seem to receive the most complaints in is the gate

area and the music. The primary complaints around the gate area are many people do not want

to pay to get in, they are used to free events, and the no re-entry policy. As for the music, we

have concluded that we will never be able to please everyone.

The festival itself is a positive thing for the community and has the potential to build community

pride and relationships, which is so significant to an organization. When attending Clifton or

McGregor’s event, you witness firsthand the community support and immediately gain a sense

of the community pride that is so prevalent there. One way we could work to fostering something

similar is by partnering with the school district. It may take several in-depth conversations to

figure out something beneficial to both, but just the support seen daily at the school would be a

great benefit to this event.

FISCAL IMPACT: None

ATTACHMENTS:

List of Spring events already set for 2020, list of events usually around the time of the festival,

list of questions Mr. John Edward, and past surveys.

Hi I am John Edwards and I spoke with you at the council meeting on Tuesday. I have thesefollowing questions when answer will make your job easier in the long run.

1.Do you have a mission statement ? a. Is to have a fun event for the community? to make money or break even?2. What is the the purpose of this event?3. Who is our target group?4. For a DJ just need to know the area size you would need music .Thanks have a great weekend.John Edwards

Yes... there were No banners on Hwy 77 to advertise the event. I believe it would have been a bigger

turn out if they were up 5 days ahead of the event. My husband drove me over to take a look and the set

up seemed great. But there were no crowds there. Looked like a poor turn out. April R.

No, I'm just so grateful to all involved in establishing this park. It's very nice!

Great Job! Robinson needs more of this. Our kids really enjoyed the movie and the band. Again, nice

job!!!!

Just add more activities, arts and crafts, baking competition, face painting, have local dance teams, drill

team, quartets, church groups compete in talent contest prior to big bands and announce winner later to

keep people there.

Overall very good event and look forward to next year.

Needs more vendors to sell items like shirts hats different variety and wood work like crosses or more

home decor.

More Food / Non Alcoholic drink options , possibly fencing around the kids play/slide area. To many

people having to search for their kids.

I think that the inaugural event was a success. I think as we continue to grow we can add some more

kid booths like mentioned above. Also think maybe we could get the school involved. Could have

junior/senior class fundraisers (soda tent, hamburgers, snacks, cake walks, etc)

More seating to rest for older people.

GREAT first year. Looking forward to year #2.

I thought the event was wonderful. I would suggest putting the information out in the backpacks of

students in grades K-6 using the Robinson ISD Backpack Information guidelines. This would get the

information home to a lot of students quickly.

The park is the perfect place for this event! Great job to all the organizers. Vendors should shut down

and be allowed to leave at dark- there is not sufficient light (or interest from the crowd) for them to

continue to be there.

Just more booths and more things to do for adults and children. We know its new but was somewhat a

disappointment

Holly Tucker

Wade Bowen...you might talk to Wes Waller, he might put you in touch with him. Wes is his cousin and helps with his fund raiser every

year. Back to the expect to pay...that would depend on who you get for the music....offer some family packages to keep the cost

Aaron Watson, Kyle Park

Local bands only; "home grown"

Go with local Robinson bands

STONEY LARUE, WADE BOWEN, RANDY ROGERS, JASON BOLAND

35 South, they are local

Casey Donahew

McLennan Mile, Dueling Hearts, Classy Ballou

35-South

Maybe Jazz bands from MCC or Baylor. Military. High School Jazz band. Or maybe a local jazz band. Texas country music for BBQ.

Both?

Morticians , 80s rewind band, sloppy joe

35 South. They are local and a great band.

Scooter Brown Band

Good cover songs that the crowd will know

I would look at who the Slippery Minnow uses; they have great bands/live performers. Anybody who does country I think would please the

largest amount of people.

We couldn't afford George Strait, so I'm really not rehearsed who is in this area. I do know the Tucker's very well, we might would be

able to have Holly Tucker perform, she is a really good performer

Diverse in music. But these checked off are favorites

Yes, but it depends on the movie. It'd be nice for adult movies and not just kid movies

Probably just for kids/families

Brett Hendrix Band is a local band, Crossroads Fellowship Band (play several times at area schools

Texas artists such as Gary P Nunn, Johnny Gimble, Billy Joe Shaver. Jerry Haisler polka music.

After the wine serving a movie would be great. With wine off the serving tray at movie time, it would give at least an hour and a half to

soak the wine with popcorn and soda. Obviously police would deter the "heavy drinkers".

Absolutely one of our favorite things to do! I notice several people in Robinson have classic cars and street rods (we are one of them)

and my parents and their car club LOVE local shows. They travel all over to attend car shows (they live in Waco and just got back from a

show in Missouri). A car show/street party would be fantastic!!

Please have a car show!

But don't just do classic cars. Their is a large number of dirt track racers in your community. Invite them to come too. Generally the kids

can get inside of these cars where understandably people with classic cars prefer they not be touched.

A motorcycle show would be great as well.

More advertisement, build up and preparation for the big day. Signage around town!

Just have it during the day!

Make sure it takes place during spring or fall. A lot of elderly would like to come but due to heat they can't...and Robinson's elderly are the

Go as local as possible on food and shopping options. Keep revenue coming back to the community.

Need to have alcohol, beer, wine etc. This would attract more people. Its time to step up with todays society and break out of this bible

belt mentality. Check out GRAPEVINE FOOD AND WINE FESTIVAL. This event has it going on.

There are so many opportunities to have an outstanding festival, I think it would be better served if you put together a little committee with

some outside of the box type thinkers. Those very Creative individuals!!

Waco area does not have a crawfish festival and those are very popular now.

Sad but true, beer and wine will bring more people. Robinson people are very self-conscious so I doubt there would be many problems.

Have Luke Rawlings help M.C. It

Post everything on Facebook so local people can share and reach more to join the festivities.

Advertise in multiple ways. Hats off to our City Park committee for all the hard work in the design of our park and a wonderful thanks to

our City staff for the many hours of hard work in the development of a beautiful park we can be proud of for many years to come.

Never been to one of your festivals, just moved to the Robinson area Fall of 2013, so I am interested to see what you have to offer.

Better Advertising well in advance of the event.

Fun, food, fellowship…

Perhaps some rides for adults would be great.

NO MORE MOVIE IN THE PARK AND NO BOUNCE HOUSES. SOMETHING NEW AND FUN FOR FAMILY AND KIDS. FOOD

ATTRACTS PEOPLE, HORSESHOE TOURNAMENTS WOULD BE AWESOME, BBQ COOK OFF, GOOD TEXAS COUNTRY BAND.

Beer and barbeque can't go wrong.

Need for variety

Friday night had more booths and we went to watch the kids perform for Angela's dance. I felt bad for

the early bands people did it start showing up until later. Possible charge less for vendors booths and

arts and crafts until the event grows. I was just disappointed that there was so many booths Friday

(awesome) and not many on Sat. Maybe have a local talent show early and announce winners in the

middle of the big bands to get people to come and stay just a thought

Need more variety of food trucks. And lower the prices

4. What is your level of satisfaction with the music offered?

Possibly start ithe live music later in the day. Musicians that played early in the day really has no

audience since people were at the booths and on the inflatables. The music of a local station would have

been fine until "the crowd" came at dusk. --Maybe the stage could be used for karaoke or a talent show

during the day to get more people involved.

Needed better musical acts this year.

The last band needed stage lighting. It was hard to see them perform in the dark.

Cost to get in versus not a lot going on. Used to free events

Just wish we had planned this event a bit cooler date and when WACO didn’t have a ton of events going on.

Do it when the weather is a little cooler.

More food vendors

More advertising needed. Better date selection as so many events were happening in and around Waco that same day

Too commercial

Re entry policy, cooler weather event, More vendors More food options

Better music. The lead had more attendees than the headliner. Should have been reversed. Loved Michael Witt

Also the band at the end of the night ended early. I speak for many when we planned on staying longer. Also would’ve been nice if there

was a light on the band so we could see who we are listening too. Maybe a tech issue? Overall, lots of vendors and fun

Total

The festival was fun, lots for the kids to do.. I’d love to see the date pushed back a few weeks so it’s cooler outside. I think more people

would come (and was told by many) if it wasn’t 100 degrees outside they would’ve gone, or stayed longer. Many of the volunteers were

sunburnt I noticed.

9. Do you have any other suggestions for improving the Robinson Festival?
