Williams noted that if the hypothetical house were in Douglas County rather than El Paso County, the county total would be $616 instead of $200.

Williams noted that the jail expansion is under construction at a projected cost of $38 million.

He said the courthouse expansion is in design. He said by limiting the central portion of the building to three stories, with the other portions at five stories, the proposed design preserves a view of the top 2,000 feet of Pikes Peak.

Williams urged support of Referendum 1A to provide funding for people with developmental disabilities. He noted that the measure would add 1 mill and about $25 to the property tax for the hypothetical $319,000 Woodmoor house.

He also urged support of Referendum 1B, which would exempt state revenues to the county from the TABOR limits. He said that as things stand, when the state sends money to the county for specific purposes, the county must reduce other expenditures to compensate. Williams presented a chart showing TABOR-imposed refunds of $3.7 million in 1996, $381,500 in 1999, and $8.8 million in 2000.

Williams said he favors the proposed Amendment 32 that would eliminate the Gallagher Amendment and freeze the factor for calculating taxable value from market value at 8 percent. He said the Gallagher Amendment has squeezed school district revenues to the point that Lewis-Palmer School District 38 is constrained in its capacity to issue additional bonds to fund school construction.

Williams urged opposition to proposed Amendment 33. He said it would force gambling on local communities without providing money to address local impacts.

Dan May, candidate for county district attorney who was in the audience and was introduced by Williams, said that when gambling was introduced in Teller County, the felony rate rose 62 percent.

Williams said he supports Referendum A because Colorado could then store more water during wet years. He noted that the funding is by revenue bonds that he characterized as "not taxpayer obligations."

Williams gave the following scheduled completion dates:

He also mentioned the realignment of the Highway 83/Shoup Road intersection but did not give an estimated completion date. He said, when completed, Highway 83 would be four lanes wide to the top of the hill north of the intersection.

Williams described his efforts to secure funding for transportation projects. He said many of the funding sources are dependent on an improvement in the state’s economy.

Williams said, "The concept of BRRTA is that growth should pay for its own way." He acknowledged that the BRRTA fees (e.g., $500 per house) are insufficient to pay for the road improvements needed. He expressed the hope that money can be obtained from the Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments (PPACG) or other sources to fund the needed roadwork.

Williams said the county is facing a $60 million maintenance backlog. He said the current road and bridge property tax, $40 per year on the hypothetical $319,000 house, is insufficient. As an example of the problem, he noted that the county has three snowblower vehicles and they are more than 20 years old. During a storm last winter, two of the three broke down.

Williams then talked about the top priority transportation projects in the county. He said the BOCC voted that the number one priority is construction of a bridge over Black Forest Creek that bisects the Struthers Ranch development. He said this bridge, which he estimated as costing $1.2 million, is urgently needed to complete the connection of Jackson Creek Parkway/Struthers Road from Baptist Road to Northgate Road. He said, "This is a key part of the county’s transportation plan." He said Struthers Road/Jackson Creek Parkway will provide an alternative route between Highway 105 and Northgate Road when I-25 is backed up.

The second priority transportation project in the county, according to Williams, is the connection of Baptist Road east to Highway 83. The connection would be made to the stub of Hodgen Road that extends west from Highway 83.

Williams said that despite the projected $8 million shortfall in the county’s 2004 budget, $2 million has been earmarked to cover the Struthers Ranch bridge and the Hodgen connection.

Sery, who sits on the county’s planning commission, said, "[The BOCC] continues to approve more developments that create more traffic on Baptist Road with no idea of how we are going to pay for the improvements. It would seem there needs to be more improvements required as a part of project approval, but that doesn’t happen in most cases."

Williams replied, "There are some limits on what can be required."

Sery asked, "If you spend $1.2 million on the Struthers Ranch bridge and Wal-Mart and Struthers Ranch aren’t built due to mouse issues, won’t that leave gaps in the connection?"

Williams replied that the plan is for the county to build the bridge and the developers to build the rest of the four-lane road. He added, "We are not going to build a bridge to nowhere. If the projects don’t go, we will either delay the bridge or the county will build the bridge and a two-lane road." He added, "That road needs to be built. The Baptist Road to Hodgen connection needs to be built." He said the projects would be done over two years.

Beth Courreau, a 16-year Woodmoor resident and former president of the Woodmoor Improvement Association, said, "The Baptist Road interchange will not be improved until 2008, 2010, or beyond. It is ludicrous that projects are approved without requiring [the interchange improvements] be completed first."

Williams said the solution to the county’s $60 million maintenance backlog is passage by voters in November 2004 of a countywide rural transportation authority (RTA). The RTA would impose a 1 percent sales tax to fund road maintenance and construction. He said a small portion, perhaps 10 percent, would go to mass transit.

The next NEPCO meeting will be held Dec. 6, 9:30 a.m., at the Monument Library, 1706 Lake Woodmoor Dr. For more information on NEPCO, contact Steve Sery at 488-8533 or seryj@earthlink.net.

Commissioner Wayne Williams’ direct phone number is 520-6411. His e-mail address is waynewilliams@elpasoco.com. The county’s website address is www.elpasoco.com.

The meeting began with the announcement that Ken Rowberg, director of the El Paso County Planning Department for more than 20 years, is retiring. Until a new director is named, Carl Schuler, assistant director, will perform most of Rowberg’s duties. Denny Cripps, assistant county administrator, will assume the administrative duties of the department. The appointment of the new director may be on hold until the "One Stop" Regional Facility, located behind the Health Department on South Union, is complete and departments relocated early in 2004.

This was a request by the county department of transportation to amend the Drainage Criteria Manual (DCM) by including Volume 2 that addresses storm water quality policies, procedures, and Best Management Practices. (Volume 1, which is already part of the DCM, deals with water quantity.) Volumes 1 and 2 are from the City of Colorado Springs. Using these documents helps ensure consistency between city and county practices. The DCM is part of the Land Development Code. Over the next few years, implementation and enforcement procedures will be developed. The amendment was approved unanimously.

Variance of use (continuation) for second dwelling in the RR-3 district
Harry Direen

This is a request for a 10-year extension to an existing variance that allows two residences on one lot in the RR-3 zone. The property is located at the northwest corner of Highway 83 and Northgate Road. A variance is permitted if the applicant can show undue hardship or peculiar and exceptional practical difficulties. In this case, the hardship is that the applicant must provide care for his mother. The conditions of approval include that the second unit cannot be leased or rented and is only for the use of an immediate family member. There were no objections from adjoining landowners, and the variance was approved unanimously.

Decisions of the El Paso County Planning Commission are made as recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). The BOCC may or may not decide to go along with the Planning Commission recommendations.

**********

The county planning commission normally holds hearings on the third and, if necessary, the fourth Tuesday of each month. The next hearing will be held Nov. 18. The agenda for that hearing will be posted at http://adm.elpasoco.com/planning/Agendas/PC/PC-Agn.asp. The hearings are held starting at 9 a.m. in the 3rd floor hearing room of the county building, 27 E. Vermijo, Colorado Springs.

For more information on this and other projects within the county, contact the planning department at 520-6300 or visit www.elpasoco.com/planning. You may submit comments or questions to the El Paso County Planning Department, 27 E. Vermijo Avenue, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80903.

The special meeting scheduled for 5:30 p.m. was cancelled due to lack of a quorum. Trustees Glenda Smith, David Mertz, and Doug Warner were absent from the regular meeting. David Phillips of Boy Scout Troop #79 led the Pledge of Allegiance. Former Trustee Ed Delaney requested to be appointed to fill the vacant seat on the Planning Commission. Delaney had served on the commission from 1981 to 1989. A motion to appoint him passed unanimously.

Town Water Attorney Bob Krassa reported that the current water court case for more senior (1891) water rights might not be resolved until the end of 2004. This would mean that Monument Lake couldn’t be filled until spring of 2005. The proposed Substitute Water Supply Plan that involves purchase of water from Colorado Springs Utilities would be an interim method for filling Monument Lake as early as spring of 2004.

In response to questions from Trustee George Brown, Krassa stated the town would pay Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU) for the interim right to retain water to fill the lake. Mayor Betty Konarski said the regional water commissioner wanted the town to install stream flow meters upstream and downstream of the lake, so $8,000 of the $20,000 cost estimate is a cost the town would incur anyway. Krassa said he would recommend the town file an Exchange Rights case in the future. Konarski stated, "I’m going to speak against this." She reported she had informed the Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) grant officials that she was withdrawing a portion of her grant concept due to the lack of water in the lake; the Fishing is Fun Grant requires a certain level of water. Krassa added that if the drought continues, there might not be enough water to fill the lake even with the Substitute Water Supply Plan. The plan would be renewable for up to five years while the town’s current water court case is in progress, he said. A motion to approve the plan passed unanimously.

Town Planner Mike Davenport recommended a continuation to the Dec. 1 meeting due to several significant changes that would have to be brought before the Planning Commission. A motion for postponement passed unanimously.

Judy Skrzypek requested the ordinance so she, as the clerk and the treasurer, did not have to co-sign financial warrants since it is a conflict with the accounting practice called "segregation of duties" for the treasurer to sign financial warrants. A motion to approve the ordinance passed unanimously.

Davenport said that Phase II would consist of 20 detached patio homes, a change from 10 duplex units approved in the preliminary plan in the fall of 2001. The number of dwelling units stays the same. The garages, originally in front, are now behind the dwellings.

Jack Wiepking, the developer, addressed the changes from the original plan: "The change to single-family [dwellings] from duplex units was sales driven; the duplexes across the street haven’t sold well." He pointed out that this was the most intensely landscaped development in the county outside of Colorado Springs. Also, he added a parking spot for every unit. There were no public comments. Trustee Byron Glenn voiced concern that the 16-foot-wide drive, reduced from 24 feet, is too narrow for two vehicles to pass comfortably. He also commented that the use of tall fescue sod is not a responsible use of water. Wiepking replied that the roots of tall fescue go down deep, and they’ve prepared the soil well, so it should be more drought-tolerant than Kentucky bluegrass. Trustee Frank Orten asked about the comments from the town’s water resources consultant firm. Davenport replied that there appears to be sufficient water for this phase of the development, with enough left over for the commercial phase. A motion to approve the plan passed unanimously.

Resolution #22-2993 Advocating Voter Approval of the Nov. 4, 2003, Ballot Issue Regarding Excess Revenue

The town will only be able to spend the $2 million in excess revenue if the ballot issue passes. A motion to approve the resolution advocating voter approval passed unanimously.

The trustees approved a pay request of $68,828.47 for J&J Excavating for water system improvements; a change order for extra work ($2,424) and pay request of $91,102.83 for XKE Contractors for the Mitchell Avenue bike lanes project; a change order reducing Schmidt Construction’s fee by $3,483 for street patching and paving; and a payment of $21,205.44 to GMS Engineers.

Tuesday, Dec. 9, at 6:30 p.m. will be the public hearing on next year’s budget. The board scheduled budget work sessions for Oct. 20, Nov. 3, and Nov. 17.

Davenport mentioned the potential application for annexation and development of the Wohlberg property, 140 acres south of Highway 105, east of Knollwood Drive. He also addressed the issue of water requirements for senior housing, one-story duplex cottages clustered in a complex in downtown Monument. He asked if the board would be receptive to a regulation change to reduce the water requirement for redevelopment that involves replatting in the downtown area. The response from the board was positive.

Town Manager Rick Sonnenburg reported that the grant application for sidewalks in the downtown area was not approved. The traffic lights for the Santa Fe Trail pedestrian crossings at Second and Third Streets were changed to flashing yellow lights. Sonnenburg presented a framed plaque for the award the Monument Dam received. Konarski said she would like to work with the planning department on a grant for a trail along Jackson Creek Parkway and Leather Chaps Drive between Baptist Road and Highway 105, to be the first link to allow trail access through the Jackson Creek area connecting to the west side of I-25 to the Santa Fe Trail. The meeting adjourned at 8:20 p.m.

I believe there is a need for new development like the Marketplace and the leveraging of Monument’s "old Town."

In forming a special district, the developers of Triview had to get approval from El Paso County and the district court, to identify who would provide necessary services to residents and businesses. The developers made the decision that Triview would be responsible for water, sewer, drainage, parks, and streets. The town of Monument provides police, land use/planning, and tax administrative services because Triview, as a special district, cannot.

There are more than 500 special districts in the state of Colorado. The extreme exception to the norm is a special district receiving any sales tax revenues from a town, city, or county, or from the state. The special districts can and do impose mill levies and other special taxes; they cannot collect taxes. So the 50/50 split of taxes is the rare exception versus the rule.

The Tri-Lakes area has many other special districts such as fire, schools, library, and sanitation. To date, none of these special districts have asked the town of Monument for funding to support their services.

The town’s current long-term debt is $4.3 million. This measure would have increased our debt by almost 50 percent and could have limited our ability to fund other necessary projects. The voter question provided a statement and promise that we would not increase taxes or the tax rate. Given that we were incurring an additional $2 million indebtedness, along with other possible expenses in the future, how could we guarantee this provision?

Our review of the Marketplace project back in March/April/May never had considerations that we would have to contribute to monies that Triview Metro District was responsible for under their service plan. These cost-sharing conversations should have started in 2002, not three months before the ballot issue was due. I feel my vote of "no" was the right vote.

If deemed appropriate, a revised Intergovernmental Agreement between Monument and Triview can be drafted, for approval of the voters, that provides benefit to all parties.

George Brown
Trustee of the Town of Monument

The Monument Board of Trustees (BOT) meeting Oct. 20 dealt with telephone voting, routine financial matters, and the first of several budget work sessions scheduled for the rest of the calendar year. Trustee Doug Warner was absent. Chad McDaniel of Boy Scout Troop #514 led the Pledge of Allegiance.

Background: Mayor Betty Konarski participated in discussions and votes by phone during several September BOT special and regular meetings on the emergency ordinance for a ballot issue on town participation in funding Jackson Creek Parkway construction. The emergency ordinance on the ballot issue required six yes votes to pass, which would have required a unanimous vote of the trustees had she not voted. Mayor Pro Tem Byron Glenn ran these meetings in her physical absence. Several trustees questioned the appropriateness of Konarski participating and voting, given the limitations of a standard speakerphone in transmitting the discussion to her remote location—reflected by her repeated requests for trustees to speak louder. However, no trustee said she should not participate at any of these meetings when she asked if she could comment and vote. This raised trustee questions on which issues are important enough to warrant voting by phone. Town Attorney Gary Shupp prepared a draft policy, Board Members Voting Via Telephone, for consideration at the Oct. 6 BOT meeting. Smith, who was not at the Oct. 6 meeting, asked Konarski to continue the policy’s consideration to Oct. 20.

Shupp gave a review of his research on the policy of voting from out of town, observing that a 50-50 split emerged when he contacted attorneys for other regional government entities. His draft policy said that phone voting would be the exception applying to major decisions with deadlines that could not be postponed at the discretion of the absent official and only if a quorum was physically present. The policy listed no standard for how absent officials must be able to observe presentations made at the meetings or be able to read documents passed out to board members.

Konarski said there should be two steps to deciding on a policy—should there even be any policy on phone voting and, if so, which one should they choose. David Mertz said he favored having a policy. Smith said she did not think a policy was necessary, then said she wanted to discuss it because it was apparent it was going to pass. Frank Orten said he did not know if a policy was needed. Brown said yes. Glenn said he had changed his mind, based on having voted by phone from Chicago but having been unable to hear the full discussion. He said it was okay to monitor the meeting by speakerphone, but not to vote. Konarski said such votes should be considered on a case-by-case basis. Mertz said he would rather have a policy for exceptions. After more discussion, Shupp was asked to redraft the policy for discussion at a future meeting. No votes were taken.

Treasurer Judy Skrzypek reported that there was insufficient data available to draw a firm conclusion on how much tax revenue is being lost due to the closure of the weigh station on-off ramp to I-25. Also the repair of a Monument Sanitation District sewer pipe crossing Highway 105 between McDonald’s and Rosie’s Diner during the week of Oct. 13 temporarily skewed tax receipts. Her financial report and disbursements over $5,000 were approved unanimously with no further discussion.

Trustees asked Skrzypek about the purpose of a few line items, which she readily answered. They also asked about the "absence" of a few dollar amounts in the draft budget, but in each case the numbers had simply been moved to a different part of the budget at the recommendation of the town’s auditor to account for changes required by generally accepted accounting procedures (GAAP). Converting the draft budget to this GAAP format was ongoing because of the large number of changes required.

Several trustees expressed a desire for one type of funding or another to be listed as desirable goals, though none advocated taking money from other projects for funding. In public comment, local business owner John Dominowski praised Skrzypek for the readability of her draft budget and monthly financial reports. Konarski noted that it was rare for the board and Dominowski to be in complete agreement.

The meeting adjourned at 8:01 p.m. The next meeting is at 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 3 at Creekside Middle School at the north end of Leather Chaps in Jackson Creek.

When town manager Rick Sonnenburg told the Monument Parks and Landscape Committee that the town is planning to budget $124,500 for park maintenance for 2004, the members voiced dismay that many of the town’s parks are not better maintained.

Committee member Linda Pankratz said details such as maintaining the gravel in the children’s areas are often overlooked.

Committee member Monika Marky noted that since park maintenance is only done for six months, the budget funds amount to roughly $20,000 per month. Sonnenburg responded that sometimes three or four people are working on the parks. He added that purchase of an additional vehicle is included in the 2004 budget. The cost would be split between the parks and cemetery maintenance budgets. Sonnenburg noted that Tom Wall, public works superintendent, had been scheduled to meet with the committee to explain the budget but had a family emergency.

Wall’s parks budget calculations showed that his $124,500 request would cover only about 40 percent of the park work needed.

Committee chair John Savage said, "It doesn’t seem like the parks get taken care of as well as if we had a private company doing it. The parks seem to be the last thing that gets taken care of. What we have asked for is a parks department instead of it being on Tom [Wall]’s back." Savage added, "In, I think, 1994, we outsourced taking care of the parks. They never looked so good as that one year."

Sonnenburg said the work could be outsourced if the town set standards and specifications as to what is to be done. He added that if the work were outsourced the town would have to lay off two people.

Mike Davenport, town planner and assistant town manager, noted that the $60,000 to $80,000 budget request for a downtown entry sign to be installed on Second Street was reduced to $10,000 based on the committee’s discussion last month.

The committee members agreed the sign is very important to the economic health of downtown. Davenport said he would revise the budget request to include the full amount.

Davenport distributed copies of the draft plan. He said the map will be mailed with the November town newsletter and will be discussed at the Nov. 11 meeting. (See plan)

Davenport announced that Ed DeLaney resigned from the Parks and Landscape Committee since he has been appointed to the planning commission. The town will advertise the vacancy.

**********

The next Parks and Landscape Committee meeting is Nov. 11 at Monument Town Hall, 166 Second St. There will be a work session at 6 p.m. followed by the regular meeting at 6:30 p.m.

Web site exclusive: View Monument Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan

The Triview Metropolitan District Board of Directors held its regular meeting Oct. 22.

A source of conflict between the Town of Monument and the district is Monument Board of Trustees’ 5-2 vote Sept. 8 that fell short of the number needed for an emergency ordinance for a ballot measure asking voters to approve transfer to the Triview district of $2 million in future sales tax revenue from the Home Depot. Monument Mayor Betty Konarski, who voted for the measure, said, "I am still working to try to get things on your side." She later added, "At least know that five of us are ready to give you that support."

Konarski also outlined potential park, trail, and open space projects that could be jointly undertaken by the town and the district. She said, "Even after I am no longer mayor, I plan to pursue grants."

Rick Blevins of Marketplace developer Vision Development, Inc. reported that grading of the extension of Jackson Creek Parkway from Baptist Road to Higby Road is substantially complete.

He said the design of the drainage structures has been revised to reduce costs by more than $300,000 and to shorten the schedule. The board unanimously approved a bid from R.E. Monks for $960,410 for the revised drainage structure work. The board also unanimously approved a $1,025,653 paving bid from Rocky Mountain Aggregates. In both cases, Blevins assured the board that the developer would provide a loan to the district if the planned sale of Phase G bonds fails. Phase G is the collective label for the roadway, water, wastewater, reuse water, and drainage improvements associated with the Monument Marketplace project.

Blevins said bids for installation of water, reuse water, and sewer utilities in the roadways have come in about $600,000 over budget. Vision Development is negotiating with bidders and seeking additional bids.

He reported that the Compass Bank credit committee approved the proposed letter of credit needed for the Phase G funding. He said Sam Sharp, vice president of Kirkpatrick Pettis, the district’s bond agent, believes he will be ready to go to market on Nov. 4.

Due to the decrease from 9.15 percent to 7.96 percent in the residential factor used by the county assessor for determining taxable value from market value, Blevins reported that the mill levy cap agreement approved by the board two months ago will increase the maximum mill levy from 54 mills to 62 mills. The change in the value of the cap does not change the current approved property tax rate for the district, which stands at 25 mills. The statewide Gallagher Amendment, which would be supplanted if Amendment 32 on the Nov. 4 ballot passes, dictates the decrease in the taxable value factor.

Blevins said the concrete pad for the Home Depot site would be poured Oct. 23, eight weeks ahead of schedule. He said the earthwork is six weeks ahead of schedule.

In a related matter, Blevins presented an agreement addressing the developer’s donation of land for right-of-way for the extension of Jackson Creek Parkway and Leather Chaps Drive. He said the developer is seeking the agreement to ensure the company will not later be found liable to construct the road. The Triview district is providing funding for the road construction. Peter Susemihl, attorney for the Triview district, added that the agreement would preclude the town from charging the developer fees related to the land donation.

The WWTF is jointly owned by the Triview district, the Donala Water and Sanitation district that serves Gleneagle, and the Forest Lakes Metropolitan District that currently does not have any users. District engineer Chuck Ritter of Nolte and Associates reported that projected costs for expanding the plant have significantly increased. He said, "They have everything but the kitchen sink in there."

Ron Simpson, Triview district manager, said he has talked with Dana Duthie, manager of the Donala district, regarding the cost increase. He said, "It amounts to about $1 million more than we were talking about for Triview."

Duthie is planning to start design of the expansion in January 2004.

Simpson said the district is working to resolve Preble’s Meadow Jumping Mouse habitat issues on the Wal-Mart site, the expansion of Baptist Road, and the extension of Jackson Creek Parkway south of Baptist Road. Simpson said he found six properties that could be used as part of habitat conservation plans for the three sites.

He said a question to be resolved is who is to be the steward of the properties purchased to offset habitat destroyed at the three sites. He suggested four candidates: the current owners of the conservation properties, the Triview district, the Wal-Mart Public Improvement Corporation (PIC), or the Trust for Public Lands. He said the property owners are not interested and the Trust for Public Lands insists on conditions that may be unacceptable, including escrowing money to cover the cost of obtaining a permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). He noted that the PIC has not been formed yet and suggested the Triview district be the applicant to FWS and later the PIC could take over.

Simpson added that the stewards for the district’s existing mouse habitat conservation plan are the current landowners.

Simpson mentioned that legal challenges to the inclusion of the Preble’s mouse on the endangered list. He said the effort "will probably win, but it will take five years."

Traffic signs

Director Steve Stephenson noted that more speed limit signs are needed on Lyons Tail Drive.

Simpson reported that water treatment plant A was damaged by a power surge Oct. 22. As of the board meeting, there was no power to the plant so the full extent of the damage could not be assessed. Simpson said a variety of equipment at the plant including pumps, motors, and controllers was likely damaged in the incident. He said, "It is going to be expensive." He said insurance would cover the loss. When contacted later, Simpson said the plant returned to service Oct. 28. He said he did not yet have a figure for the total cost of the incident.

Susemihl told the board that in accordance with authorization granted last month, he filed a condemnation lawsuit against Miles Grant to obtain needed right-of-way. He said a Dec. 5 court hearing is scheduled.

The board unanimously approved a motion authorizing Susemihl to use condemnation to obtain easements on the Foxworth-Galbraith property. The easements are needed for the gravity sewer connection from the Marketplace site.

The board went into executive session to discuss a personnel matter. When the executive session concluded, the board unanimously voted to grant Simpson a 10 percent increase to his approximately $70,000 annual pay for managing the district. Stephenson said, "The board is very appreciative of what you do, how much you do."

Simpson did a line-by-line review of the draft budget distributed at the September meeting. The budget information is split into an enterprise fund and a district fund. The enterprise fund covers water, wastewater, and reuse water services. The district fund covers all the other operations of the district.

The table below summarizes the totals for each of the funds.

	Wastewater: About $350,000 for the sewer interceptor needed to supply service to the planned commercial properties to the west of I-25.
	Water: About $325,000 for well A4 and $485,000 for water lines to serve the Marketplace.
	Reuse: $275,000 to install reuse lines under the extension of Leather Chaps and Jackson Creek Parkway.
	Streets: $1.1 million for the extension of Leather Chaps and $3.8 million for the extension of Jackson Creek Parkway
	Drainage: $252,000 for storm water detention facilities.
	Landscaping and Trails: $150,000 for trails and landscaping along the extension of Jackson Creek Parkway.
