THERE IT IS. I WANT TO DO. JUST UPDATE YOU ON WHAT'S GOING ON OUT HERE IN THE EAST SIDE OF TOWN. WE'VE GOT TWO LARGE DEVELOPMENTS GOING IN. BEATEN BOW IS DEVELOPING HOMES OUT HERE, AS WELL AS D.R. HORTON. WE ARE LOOKING AT BUILDING MISSION DRIVE AND MIDWAY MISSION WILL COME ACROSS AND TIE INTO MIDWAY. MIDWAY WILL RUN FROM YUKON ALL THE WAY DOWN TO BY 20. DJ K IS THE DEVELOPER. THEY'VE ALREADY WORKED OUT AN AGREEMENT WITH ODYSSEY ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF THESE TWO ROADS. THEY'LL BE FIVE LANE MIDWAY NOW IS DOES NOT EXIST NORTH OF BANKHEAD. SOUTH OF BANKHEAD. IT'S A TWO LANE COUNTY ROAD. SO YOU'VE ALREADY HEARD THE ANNEXATION REQUEST. WE'RE LOOKING AT ANNEXING THAT PIECE OF MIDWAY FROM MIDLAND COUNTY. AS PART OF THAT AGREEMENT, WE ARE GOING TO TAKE OVER MIDWAY, TAKE OVER ANNEXATION. DJ IS GOING TO RECONSTRUCT IT AS A FIVE LANE ROAD, AND MIDLAND COUNTY IS FUNDING THAT RECONSTRUCTION AT $2.7 MILLION. SO THAT'S WHAT THIS FIRST AGREEMENT WITH MIDLAND COUNTY IS, IS AN AGREEMENT FOR US TO REBUILD THAT ROAD AND THEM TO PROVIDE US THOSE FUNDS. SO WHICH PIECE? I'M SORRY, WHICH PIECE ARE THEY PAYING FOR? I'M SORRY. TELL ME EXACTLY. BANKHEAD SOUTH TO BY 20. BANKHEAD SOUTH BY 20. OKAY.IT'S THE PORTION THAT IS CURRENTLY IN THE COUNTY. OKAY. THEY'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT.
YES, SIR. OKAY. ARE THEY GOING TO PAY FOR THE CROSSING ON THE RAILROAD? THEY'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THE INTERSECTION. IT DOESN'T CROSS THE RAILROAD, BUT IT WILL BE A BRAND NEW INTERSECTION THERE AT BY 20. AND THAT'S PART OF THAT PROJECT. BE SIGNALIZED, TIE INTO THE MAIN LANES. SO THAT WHOLE AREA WILL NOW HAVE DIRECT ACCESS FROM BY 20 GOING NORTH INTO THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. BUT NO BRIDGE GOING OVER THE RAILROAD TRACKS. SO THE RAILROAD TRACKS.
YEAH, IT GOES RIGHT TO BUSINESS LOOP 20. AT THAT POINT, THE RAILROAD SOUTH. BUSINESS LOOP 20, ISN'T IT? THAT'S BUSINESS. YES, IT SAYS I-20. IT'LL STOP AT BUSINESS. IT READS I-20. BUT THAT'S THIS CAME OFF OF A GOOGLE MAP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO IT IS IT IS 20 BUSINESS 20 OKAY? FOR SURE. HIGHWAY 80. I WAS ABOUT TO FREAK OUT. WE'RE GOING TO THEY'RE GOING TO PAY TO BUILD IT OVER THE TRACK. GOOD. NOW THAT'S COMING. THAT'S THAT'S ON PADRE. WE'LL GET THAT IN A FEW YEARS HOPEFULLY. BUT HERE WE'RE JUST TYING INTO THE MAIN LANES OF BUSINESS 20. OKAY. SORRY, JOE. THAT SIGNAL LOT IS ALREADY BUILT INTO THE PROJECT. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH WHAT WE WENT THROUGH ON 191 AND YUKON SIGNALIZED. YES. WE ADVISE THE PLANS. WE REVISED THE PLAN. ORIGINALLY, THE ROAD WAS JUST GOING TO TIE TO THE FRONTAGE ROAD, BUT THAT DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY THAT WAS GOING TO WORK TRAFFIC WISE. SO WE REVISED IT TO TIE TO THE MAIN LANES AND IT WILL BE SIGNALIZED. OKAY. SIGNAL LIGHTS AT YUKON.

SO, JOE, BACK AT BACK AT BANKHEAD WITH THE CITY LINE. CITY LINE IS RIGHT. YES. WHERE IT SAYS CITY LINE. THAT'S BANKHEAD AND MIDWAY RIGHT THERE. THE CURRENT CITY LIMITS. YES, BUT THAT'S BANKHEAD RIGHT THERE. RIGHT. THAT'S BANKHEAD. IS MIDLAND GOING TO DO ANYTHING THERE GOING TO BE ANY KIND OF A. SIGNAL OR ANYTHING THERE? NOT AT THIS TIME. BANKHEAD GETS USED A LOT. YEAH. IT COULD WARRANT PEOPLE COME OFF THE AIRPORT AT BANKHEAD AND GO ALL THE WAY DOWN THAT BACK ROAD. AND THEY WERE FLYING THROUGH THERE. YEAH. I SUSPECT WHEN WE GET ENOUGH HOMES ON THE GROUND THAT MAY WARRANT. YEAH. BUT AT THIS TIME WE DON'T HAVE THAT BUDGETED. AND I HAD HEARD REMEMBER WE HAD HEARD AT MPO THAT IF YOU REMEMBER, MAYBE I'M CRAZY, BUT I THOUGHT MIDLAND WAS GOING TO PAY FROM FROM MIDWAY TO THE AIRPORT, BANKHEAD ALL THE WAY AND MAKE IT FIVE LANES. BUT IF THEY PULLED THOSE PLANS, DO YOU KNOW THEY WERE GOING TO PAVE BANKHEAD? BUT IT WAS NEVER GOING TO BE FIVE LANES. IT WAS. ALL THEY WERE DOING IS PULLING UP THE OLD PASSPORT ASPHALT AND REPLACING IT WITH CONCRETE. THAT'S WHAT I HEARD. CONCRETE, YES, BUT IT WAS STILL JUST A 30 FOOT TWO LANE ROAD. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, GENTLEMEN? IF NOT. OKAY. THANKS, JOE. DON'T MOVE A MUSCLE BECAUSE AGENDA ITEM FOUR

IS DISCUSSED. PERFORMANCE AND REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT WITH JCJ, INC. FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A SEGMENT OF MIDWAY ROAD, AND THE APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,767,640.AND THAT'S THE NEXT PHASE OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, BECAUSE MIDLAND COUNTY WANTED TO ONLY GIVE THE MONEY TO US. DJ JK IS GOING TO BUILD IT, AND THEN ONCE IT'S BUILT, WE'RE TURNING AROUND AND TAKING THAT SAME 2.7 MILLION THAT MIDLAND COUNTY PROVIDED AND GIVING IT BACK TO JC TO COVER THEIR CONSTRUCTION COSTS. PASS THROUGH. IT'S A PASS THROUGH.
YES. SO THAT'S WHY WE'VE GOT TWO AGREEMENTS. ONE IS THE AGREEMENT WITH MIDLAND COUNTY.
THE SECOND ONE IS THE AGREEMENT THAT ONCE THE ROADS BUILT, WILL TURN AROUND AND REIMBURSE THEM, THAT THOSE FUNDS THAT THE MIDLAND COUNTY PROVIDED, OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, GENTLEMEN?
