EXCUSE ME, I FORGOT SOMETHING.

[A.3 Welcome, Liz Mikel, New Board Member, Place 7.]

MICHAEL, TWO OF YOU COMING IN FIRST MEETING.

AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR JOINING US HERE ON TV.

YEAH. EXCITED TO BE HERE.

YOU WANT TO TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF? YEAH, SURE, SURE. I'M LIZ MICHAEL.

I HAVE BEEN A RESIDENT OF CEDAR PARK SINCE 2020.

WE HAD THE PRIVILEGE AND FORTUNE OF MOVING CROSS COUNTRY DURING THE PANDEMIC DUE TO WORK.

SO I AM A MOTHER OF TWO HUMAN SONS, A THREE YEAR OLD AND A 15 MONTH OLD, AND THEN TWO FUR BABIES.

WE HAVE 260 POUND PITIES, SO THEY REQUIRED YOU SOME AS THE THE HUMAN CHILDREN.

I HAVE A CAREER IN COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND CORPORATE STRATEGY AND RECENTLY ACTUALLY WAS A PART OF A LAYOFF.

AND SO I'M IN BETWEEN ROLES AND SEEKING OUT NEW EMPLOYMENT, WHICH IS FUN TO GET TO HAVE A LITTLE MORE TIME AND ENERGY TO DEVOTE TO CIVIC DUTY TO.

I'M SURE THE DOGS WELCOME HAVING YOU HOME AS WELL.

YES, YES. WELL, THANK YOU AGAIN.

AND GOING TO CALL AN ITEM OUT OF ORDER.

NOW WE'RE GOING TO CALL UP ITEM E1 INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.

[EXECUTIVE SESSION]

THERE'S THERE'S A BIT TO BE SAID IN ACCORDANCE WITH CHAPTER 551, THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TYPE B CORPORATION BOARD WILL NOW CONVENE IN CLOSE EXECUTIVE SESSION PURSUANT TO THE FOLLOWING PROVISIONS OF THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT.

CHAPTER 551 OF THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE.

GOVERNMENT CODE 5510712.

CONSULTATION WITH ATTORNEY MATTERS AND EXCUSE ME.

REGARDING MATTERS IN WHICH THE THE DUTY OF THE ATTORNEY TO THE GOVERNMENTAL BODY UNDER THE TEXAS DISCIPLINARY RULES OF THE PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT OF THE STATE BAR OF TEXAS, CLEARLY CONFLICT WITH THIS CHAPTER AND GOVERNMENT CODE 551072.

DELIBERATION OF THE EXCHANGE LEASE OR REAL OF VALUE PROPERTY LEGAL ISSUES CONCERNING LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CEDAR PARK AND THE TEXAS STARS LP, AND THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE HEAVY CENTER AT CEDAR PARK.

AND THAT WILL GAVEL OUT.

LIKE A MINUTE.

OKAY.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION MEETING IS RECONVENED IN OPEN SESSION.

I AM RETURNING TO THE REGULAR AGENDA AND CALLING ITEM B1, AND THAT IS THE FISCAL YEAR 2026 QUARTER TWO QUARTERLY

[B.1 FY 2026 Quarter Two Quarterly Financial Report. (Erica Solis, Director of Finance.)]

GOOD EVENING.

PRESIDENT AND BOARD MEMBERS, WELCOME, NEW BOARD MEMBER LIZ.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

I'M ERICA SOLIS WITH THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT.

TONIGHT I'M PRESENTING THE FINANCIAL UPDATE FOR ACTUALS THROUGH THE END OF THE SECOND QUARTER OR MARCH 31ST, 2026.

SO OUR FISCAL YEAR 2026 REVENUE BUDGET IS $12.7 MILLION, WHICH IS MOSTLY COMPRISED OF SALES TAX COLLECTIONS.

WE BUDGET VERY LITTLE AS INTERESTING BECAUSE WE NEVER KNOW WHAT OUR FISCAL 2026 AMENDED BUDGET FOR EXPENSES THIS POINT, $6 MILLION, I SAY AMENDED BECAUSE THIS DOES INCLUDE THE BUDGET AMENDMENT THAT THE TYPE B BOARD PREVIOUSLY APPROVED MARCH 10TH, TOTALING $250,000.

AND THAT WAS FOR SOME PART, PROJECTS.

SO WE'LL SEE A LIST OF WHAT THOSE ARE HERE SHORTLY.

BUT THIS DOES ENCOMPASS THAT.

SO THIS IS THE AMENDED BUDGET FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FISCAL YEAR.

SO HERE IS THAT LIST OF FUNDED PROJECTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026.

WHEN WE DO LAYER IN, THERE'S TWO THERE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE COMMUNITY AND MOBILITY ENHANCEMENT PROJECTS.

THAT'S THE BARK PARK IMPROVEMENTS FOR $100,000.

AND THE CEDAR PARK YOUTH LEAGUE ASSESSMENT OR RENOVATION PLAN FOR $150,000.

THAT TOTALS AT $250,000 FOR THAT BUDGET AMENDMENT APPROVED BY THE BOARD.

AND THAT BRINGS US TO A GRAND TOTAL OF $10.9 MILLION AT THE BOARD IS FUNDED FOR 2026.

NOTHING ELSE HAS CHANGED ON THIS LIST.

THIS IS ALL WHAT WAS APPROVED PREVIOUSLY.

LOOKING AT SALES TAX, THE BARS HERE IN THIS CHART REPRESENT OUR CUMULATIVE

[00:05:03]

THAT PUTS US AT $6.3 MILLION, AS YOU SEE THERE.

SO THIS REPRESENTS A HALF OF THAT SALES TAX THAT GOES TO TYPE B, THIS $6.3 MILLION IS GETS US 1.95% LESS THAN THE SAME PERIOD IN PRIOR YEAR.

SO IF WE'RE LOOKING AT THE TWO QUARTERS FOR THE PRIOR YEAR, WE'RE A LITTLE LOWER THAN WE WERE RUNNING LAST YEAR.

WHEN WE LOOK AT IT YEAR TO DATE, COMPARED TO THE YEAR TO DATE BUDGET, WE'RE RUNNING A LITTLE HIGHER, 2.67%.

I WILL SAY YEAR TO DATE WE HAVE BEEN RUNNING HIGHER THAN BUDGET, BUT EVERY MONTH IT'S JUST THAT DELTA.

SO I THINK IN FEBRUARY WE WERE A LITTLE BIT MAYBE AT 3.4%.

NOW WE'RE AT 2.67%.

SO WE ARE WATCHING THAT VERY CLOSELY.

WE ALWAYS DO AS WE PREPARE FOR THE BUDGET, BUT MORE SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE PAYING VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THAT BECAUSE, AS YOU ALL ARE PROBABLY AWARE, FAMILIAR, WE ARE VERY CONSERVATIVE WITH THAT BUDGET FOR THE NEXT YEAR.

SO YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THAT WHEN I COME BACK IN JUNE.

AND WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT SALES TAX PROJECTIONS. THEN THIS CHART SHOWS THE LAST TEN YEARS OF THE TYPE B SALES TAX COLLECTED SINCE THE FUNDS INCEPTION THROUGH THE END OF THE QUARTER.

QUARTER TWO THE FUND HAS COLLECTED A TOTAL OF $143.7 MILLION IN SALES TAX, AND THAT HAS BEEN DIRECTED TO VARIOUS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS THANKS TO THE B BOARD.

SO HERE IS THE EXPENSE ACTIVITY THROUGH THE SECOND QUARTER.

THAT FIRST LINE STAFF SUPPORT AND BOARD DEVELOPMENT IS 98% SPENT.

THAT'S UP ONLY 1% SINCE DECEMBER 31ST.

AND THAT'S BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF THAT IS AT TRANSFER.

WE SEND TO THE GENERAL FUND FOR THE SUPPORT THAT WE GET FROM STAFF FUNDED BY THE GENERAL FUND.

WHATEVER'S LEFT, THAT 2% IS MORE OF SOME OF THE ANCILLARY LINE ITEMS. SO TRAINING MEETINGS, THAT SORT OF THING.

SO THAT MIGHT CHANGE A LITTLE BIT BETWEEN NOW AND 930 TRANSFORMATIONAL PROJECTS AND COMMUNITY AND MOBILITY ENHANCEMENTS.

THOSE ARE 100% SPENT.

AND THAT'S BECAUSE WE TRANSFER THOSE PROJECT COSTS OUT TO THE CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDS AT THE START OF THE YEAR.

SO THAT'S WHY THAT'S 100% SPENT DOWN THE COMMUNITY MOBILITY ENHANCEMENTS IS NOT QUITE AT 100%, BUT THAT'S BECAUSE OF THAT BUDGET AMENDMENT.

SO COME QUARTER THREE, YOU'LL SEE THAT 100% SPENT AS WE SET UP THOSE NEW PARKS PROJECTS THAT YOU ALL HAVE FUNDED.

AS FOR DEBT SERVICE, THAT IS VERY LOW THROUGH QUARTER TWO, AND THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAD OUR FIRST INTEREST PAYMENT IN FEBRUARY.

THE SECOND INTEREST PRINCIPAL PAYMENT, WHICH IS THE LOTION OF OUR DEBT SERVICE, HITS IN AUGUST.

SO COME 930, YOU'LL SEE THAT THAT'S 100% SPENT DOWN AND THAT 1,067,000 YOU SEE THERE.

THAT'S PRETTY STEADY THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF THE DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS.

AND THIS DOES PAY OFF IN 2041.

WITH THAT, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE Q2 FINANCIAL UPDATE?

[B.2 Quarterly Project Report Update. (City Staff.)]

ALL RIGHT.

CALLING UP ITEM B2 QUARTERLY PROJECT REPORT.

UPDATE ME AGAIN.

OKAY.

SO GOOD EVENING AGAIN.

STILL ERICA SOLIS.

HERE'S THE QUARTERLY PROJECT REPORT UPDATE THAT WE HAVE FOR YOU ALL.

WE WORK WITH STAFF, PROJECT MANAGERS, ENGINEERS TO GET SOME UPDATES FOR YOU GUYS FROM THE LAST QUARTER.

I HIGHLIGHTED THE ONES IN YELLOW THAT I'M GOING TO HIT ON SPECIFICALLY.

I KNOW FRAN WILL SEND THIS OUT SUBSEQUENT TO THE MEETING, SO YOU CAN LOOK AT IT IN MORE DETAIL IF YOU WISH TO READ THROUGH ALL OF THE STATUS UPDATES.

SO WE'LL START WITH THE ONGOING PROJECTS FIRST.

SO THE REGIONAL TRAIL CONNECTION AND BRIDGE MATCH THAT DESIGN IS 100% COMPLETE AND IN PERMITTING REVIEW WITH TCE.

AND THE CITY STAFF ANTICIPATES CONSTRUCTION BIDDING THIS SUMMER WITH TARGET COMPLETION OF CONSTRUCTION LATE 2027.

THE TUNNEL INTERACTIVE LIGHTING AND MURALS THAT'S APPROACHING CONSTRUCTION.

SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION WITH A STAFF IS AWAITING SOLAR PANEL AND SECURITY CAMERA INSTALLATION.

WE EXPECT THAT TO BE DONE BY 930 FOR SURE.

COMMUNITY PARK IMPROVEMENTS, THAT HAS A CULMINATION OF PROJECTS, BUT THAT DOES INCLUDE THE BARK PARK, WHICH YOU ALL ADDED OR FUNDED AN ADDITIONAL $100,000 FROM TYPE B, SO THE REMAINING PROJECT.

SO THE PROJECT ELEMENTS ARE CURRENTLY IN DESIGN, AND THAT'S MOVING ALONG PRETTY WELL.

AND TALKING TO MIKE DEVITO, THE BIKE PARK AT MILLBURN PARK, THAT DESIGN IS UNDERWAY, WITH CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATED TO BEGIN THIS SUMMER.

AS FOR RECREATE, CONSTRUCTION IS PROGRESSING WITH AN ANTICIPATED COMPLETION IN JUNE WITH RIBBON CUTTING TO FOLLOW, SO I'M SURE YOU ALL WILL SEE AN INVITE FOR THAT WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT.

CONTINUING WITH ONGOING PROJECTS AND YOU ALL WILL NOTE THIS LIST HAS GROWN.

SO WE HAVE THREE SLIDES AMONG OTHER PROJECTS.

THIS TIME THE BRUSH CREEK.

WE HAVE TWO TRAFFIC SIGNALS THERE THAT ARE RUN BY STEVEN HANSEN.

ONE IS BRUSHY CREEK AND CHAMPION PARK, AND ONE BRUSHY CREEK AND SPORTS PARK.

THOSE ARE BOTH.

THE DESIGN IS COMPLETE FOR BOTH OF THOSE.

WE DO ANTICIPATE THAT WILL BE CONSTRUCTION THIS MONTH AND AWARD A CONTRACT IN JUNE OR JULY.

[00:10:03]

SO THE BOARD FUNDED $2 MILLION FOR PARKS IMPROVEMENT, $1 MILLION WAS FOR NELSON RANCH IMPROVEMENTS, AND 1 MILLION IS FOR THE TENNIS COURT RESTORATION.

SO THOSE ARE BOTH.

WE TREAT THEM SEPARATELY ON OUR SIDE BECAUSE THAT'S HOW WE TRACK THE COSTS FOR A TENNIS COURTS.

PARKS IS LOOKING AT SOME GRANT FUNDING SOURCES THAT COULD DELAY THE PROGRESS OF THE PROJECT, BECAUSE THEY WON'T MOVE FORWARD UNTIL THEY SECURE THE GRANT FUNDING.

SO THAT'S WHERE THAT IS.

NELSON RANCH IMPROVEMENTS.

THAT'S IN THE DESIGN PHASE WITH CONSTRUCTION STARTING THIS FALL FOR THE BE THAT LAST PROJECT THERE, THE BICYCLE PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM COUNCIL DID AUTHORIZE STAFF TO PARTICIPATE IN A SAFE STREETS FOR ALL GRANT APPLICATION WITH WILLIAMSON COUNTY FOR CROSSWALK ILLUMINATION IMPROVEMENTS NEAR SCHOOLS.

STAFF IS OPTIMISTIC SOME OF THAT GRANT FUNDING, FOR WHICH THIS MILLION DOLLARS WOULD REPRESENT OUR SHARE OF THOSE COSTS BECAUSE, AS YOU ALL KNOW, WITH GRANTS OF FEDERAL FUNDING, THERE'S TYPICALLY A LOCAL MATCH THAT WE HAVE TO PUT FORTH, AND THAT'S WHAT THAT WOULD GO TOWARDS.

SO I'LL HOPEFULLY HAVE MORE INFORMATION ON WHERE THAT IS NEXT TIME WE MEET ON THOSE SPECIFIC PROJECTS.

FOR THE ARTS, COLLECTIVE DESIGN STAFF DID ISSUE A REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS AND IDENTIFIED A SHORT LIST OF FIRMS TO PARTICIPATE IN INTERVIEWS FOR BOTH ARCHITECTURAL AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK FIRMS. SO STAFF IS CONDUCTING ARCHITECT INTERVIEWS THIS WEEK.

I BELIEVE THAT TOOK PLACE TODAY, AND THEY PLAN TO RECOMMEND A FIRM TO CITY COUNCIL IN JUNE.

SO WE'LL REPORT BACK ON WHAT THAT AWARD IS, WHO THAT AWARD IS TO.

AND THEN THAT LAST ONE THERE, THAT'S ONE THAT WAS ADDED WITH THE BUDGET AMENDMENT.

THAT'S THE CEDAR PARK YOUTH LEAGUE ASSESSMENT.

THEY'RE TARGETING A CONTRACT AWARD FOR THE FACILITY ASSESSMENT TO COUNCIL ON MAY 28TH.

SO COUNCIL SHOULD BE SEEING SOMETHING BEFORE THEM THIS MONTH FOR SURE.

AS FOR COMPLETED PROJECTS, THESE ARE THE ONES THAT WE CAN REPORT IS COMPLETED FROM DECEMBER 31ST.

WE HAVE THE FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR BUTTERCUP CREEK BOULEVARD, WITH THE PARK SHARED USE PATH THAT'S WRAPPING UP AND CLOSING OUT.

I THINK A FEW INVOICES REMAIN.

THERE WILL BE SAVINGS ON THAT PROJECT, SO WE'LL RELEASE THAT BACK TO THE TYPE B FUND BALANCE, AND I CAN REPORT BACK ON WHAT THOSE ACTUAL SAVINGS ARE.

WE'RE WAITING FOR THOSE FINAL INVOICES TO BE PAID OUT BEFORE WE HAVE THAT TALLY ON THE ROADWAY. MEDIAN BEAUTIFICATION DESIGN.

THE DESIGN GUIDELINES ARE COMPLETE.

STAFF DID MEET WITH TEXT TODAY TO DISCUSS FUNDING FOR A PILOT PROJECT ON EAST WHITESTONE, SO WE'LL REPORT BACK WITH WHERE THAT LANDS.

SO BUT THANKS TO YOU ALL, WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE GUIDELINES ESTABLISHED OR COMPLETED ON HOLD.

IT'S THE MILLBURN POOL WATER, AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO UNTIL THE DESIGN AND MILLBURN POOL RENOVATION IS COMPLETE.

IF YOU RECALL, THIS ONE HAS STARTED AND THEN WE'RE LIKE, OH, LET'S DO THE MILLBURN POOL RENOVATION FIRST. THE DESIGN FOR THAT.

SO THIS ONE WAS PUT ON PAUSE.

SO I'LL KEEP IT ON HERE AND I'LL LET YOU ALL KNOW HOW THAT PROGRESSES AS WE CONTINUE FORWARD.

AND THEN THOSE FOUR PROJECTS AT THE BOTTOM, WE HAD FUNDS RELEASED BACK TO TYPE B TOTALING $658,000.

SO THAT'S A I MEAN, IT'S NICE TO HAVE THAT COME BACK TO THE FUND BALANCE FOR SURE.

IT JUST HELPS WITH YOU ALL, YOU KNOW, AWARDING FUNDS FOR OTHER PROJECTS GOING INTO THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

AND I FOR THE MOST PART, THESE WERE JUST PROJECT SAVINGS.

SOMETIMES I WILL SAY, LIKE OUR PROJECT MANAGERS ARE REALLY GOOD ABOUT IDENTIFYING OTHER FUNDING SOURCES FOR THESE PROJECTS.

SO I WOULD LIKE NORTH BRUSH CREEK TRAIL PROJECT HAD WILLIAMSON COUNTY FUNDING, WHICH ALLOWED US TO RELEASE THE LEAST RESTRICTIVE SOURCE, WHICH WAS THE TYPE B FUNDS.

SO THAT WAS THAT WAS A WIN FOR US FOR SURE.

SO I JUST WANT TO GIVE THEM A SHOUT OUT FOR THAT.

BUT THESE ARE THE FOUR PROJECTS FOR WHICH FUNDS WERE RELEASED.

WE DID THAT EARLY APRIL.

SO THESE NUMBERS ARE NOT REFLECTED IN WHAT YOU SAW EARLIER, BUT YOU WILL SEE IT IN THE QUARTER THREE UPDATE.

AND THAT'S PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL.

AND WE'VE HAD TWO YEARS OF OF SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS COMING BACK INTO THE FUNDS.

SO THAT'S GREAT NEWS FOR TYPE B WITH THAT, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE PROJECT UPDATE OR ANYTHING YOU ALL WANT TO SEE MORE ON NEXT TIME WE PRESENT? I WOULD START BY SAYING EVERY TIME I THOUGHT OF A QUESTION, ERICA, THAT WAS LIKE THE NEXT THING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH.

SO SCARY.

IF OUR BRAINS ARE ALIGNED FOR ONE OF US.

ANYWAY, THAT WAS.

CAN YOU FLIP BACK TO THE PREVIOUS SLIDE? SURE.

WHEN WE HAVE SOME OF THE LOCAL FUNDINGS, WHETHER THEY BE TRAILS, PROJECTS, OR IN THIS CASE OR WHATEVER, THE AGREEMENTS WITH THOSE OTHER ENTITIES, TYPICALLY, LET'S JUST SAY WE GET X DOLLARS FROM WILLIAMSON COUNTY IN THIS CASE, WHOEVER IT WOULD BE THAT THEN GETS COMMITTED TO THE PROJECT.

AND IF THERE'S A SAVINGS THAT COMES BACK TO THE CITY, CORRECT? YEAH.

WE ARE WE ALWAYS EXHAUST THE MOST RESTRICTIVE SOURCES FIRST.

SO LIKE AN ILL WITH WILLIAMSON COUNTY OR GRANT FUNDING THAT THAT IS THE SOLE PURPOSE. THIS IS ALL IT CAN BE USED FOR.

SO WE WILL MAKE SURE WE EXHAUST THAT FIRST.

ANYTHING LEFT I'D CONSIDER CASH FUNDED, WHICH WOULD BE TYPE B IN THIS CASE GENERAL FUND IN THE CASE OF THE GENERAL FUND.

SO YES, WE DEFINITELY TRY TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE THOSE SAVINGS COME BACK TO TYPE B WHEN THEY CAN.

YEAH. YOU FOR LOOKING OUT FOR SOMETHING.

YEAH FOR SURE.

AND I WILL SAY BONDS ALSO LIKE IF THERE'S DEBT PROCEEDS.

AND SOMETIMES THE WAY WE ISSUE DEBT IS HELPFUL BECAUSE WE DON'T PIGEONHOLE OURSELVES INTO SPECIFIC PROJECTS.

[00:15:03]

SO IN THAT CASE WE CAN REDIRECT SOME OF THAT AS WELL.

BUT FOR THE MOST PART, YES, WE WILL RELEASE THE TYPE B FUNDS BACK TO TYPE B.

SO YEAH, REALLY APPRECIATE THAT THAT YOU DO THAT FOR OTHER FUNDING SOURCES.

AND THEN THAT ONE WHERE YOU'RE GOING FOR THE SS FOR A AND LEVERAGING THE MONEY THAT WE HAVE TO GET MORE MONEY TO COME BACK.

THAT'S JUST GREAT. YEAH I'LL PASS THAT ALONG FOR SURE.

SAME FOR US AS STAFF.

HAVING SEEN SOME OF THE BOND COMMITTEE MEETINGS IN THE PAST WITH WILLIAMSON COUNTY OR WHATEVER, WHEN THOSE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENTS STAFF ALWAYS GOING TO BE EXTREMELY WELL PREPARED.

I MEAN, THERE ARE PRELIMINARY STUDIES, THERE ARE BACKUPS, THERE ARE LIKE, HERE'S WHAT WE'RE BRINGING TO THE TABLE, MAKING IT MUCH EASIER FOR THOSE PARTNERS TO ENGAGE WITH US. AND SO, RIGHT.

COMPLIMENTS TO YOU AND EVERYBODY ELSE.

YEAH. PERFECT.

[F.1 Board Member Closing Comments.]

I WAS GOING TO SAY GO IN ORDER OF SENIORITY.
