[CALL TO ORDER AND ANNOUNCE A QUORUM IS PRESENT]
[00:00:10]
ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. THE TIME IS 7:08 P.M. WILL ANNOUNCE THAT A QUORUM IS PRESENT AND CALL TO ORDER THE CITY COUNCIL BUT EVERYONE BOWED THEIR HEADS.
DEAR LORD, THANK YOU FOR TODAY. THANK YOU FOR SAFE TRAVELS, FOR EVERYONE WHO MADE IT HERE AND THOSE WHO ARE ON THEIR WAY. LORD, WE PRAY FOR THOSE WHO ARE SICK AND UNABLE TO COME BUT WANTED TO BE HERE TONIGHT. WE ASK YOU GIVE US GRACE AND GUIDANCE AS WE CONDUCT TONIGHT'S MEETING. BLESS OUR HEARTS AND MINDS AS WE MAKE DECISIONS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CITY.
BLESS OUR RESIDENTS, ALL THOSE WHO WORK WITH THE CITY AND THE LEADERS OF THE CITY. AND BEGINNING NEXT WEEK, OUR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES WHO ARE RETURNING TO SCHOOL. IN JESUS NAME WE PRAY. AMEN. AMEN. I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS. ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. ALRIGHT. YOU MAY BE SEATED. JUMPING RIGHT ON IN. FOR OUR AGENDA TODAY WE HAVE
[PUBLIC COMMENTS]
PUBLIC COMMENTS. COMMENTS. WE HAVE TWO TODAY. BOTH ARE THREE MINUTES APIECE AND COMMENTS WILL BE TAKEN FROM AUDIENCE ON NON-AGENDA RELATED TOPICS FOR THREE MINUTES, NOT TO EXCEED THREE MINUTES. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT. NO ACTION OR DISCUSSION MAY BE TAKEN BY COUNCIL DURING PUBLIC. DURING PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS. SO FIRST UP WE HAVE MR. JEFF. COME ON UP SIR. AND I WILL I THINK I'M THE FIRST ONE TO USE THE NEW MICROPHONE. MAYOR AND COUNCIL I'M JEFF STENSLAND. I AM A PLACE FIVE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSIONER, BUT I AM ADDRESSING YOU TONIGHT IN MY PERSONAL CAPACITY AS A PROUD RESIDENT OF MAINER AND SOMEONE WHO IS A STRONG ADVOCATE FOR OUR COMMUNITY'S FUTURE AND SPECIFIC FUTURE, AND SPECIFICALLY TO ITEM FIVE, WHICH IS THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT RELATED TO A MEDICAL OFFICE FACILITY NEAR OUR FUTURE NEW DOWNTOWN. THIS PARCEL WAS ANNEXED IN AFTER 2013, AND THAT'S A KEY POINT IN TONIGHT'S DISCUSSIONS. AS YOU WILL SEE, THERE WAS AN AGREEMENT THAT WAS ORIGINALLY NEGOTIATED WITH THE ESD 12 TO ALLOW FOR SALES TAX REVENUE TO BE RECEIVED BY THE CITY OF MAINER FOR PARCELS THAT ARE IN THIS POLL PURPOSE. JURISDICTION OF MAINER THAT USED TO HAVE BEEN IN ESD 12. IT USED TO BE IN SALES TAX REVENUE FOR ESD 12. THAT THAT AGREEMENT WAS BACKED OUT OF BY ESD 12 A FEW YEARS AGO. COUNCIL WITHIN THE CITY OF MAINER KNOWS MORE DETAILS ON THAT. WE'VE SEEN RECENT ISSUES WITH THE CITY OF PFLUGERVILLE BACK LAST NOVEMBER, TRYING TO REASSERT ITS SALES TAX REVENUE FROM ITS FULL PURPOSE JURISDICTIONAL BOUNDARIES WITH ITS ESD AND ITS JURISDICTION, AND THAT WAS MET WITH A STRONG OPPOSITION AS DEFUNDING THE ESD. I SEE THIS AS A LONG RANGE ISSUE AND MORE ABOUT WHAT WHAT MATTERS TO THE ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING CITIES BY PERCENTAGE IN THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW IS THE CITY OF MAINER. AND WHAT THE FUTURE IS, NOT NECESSARILY WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR OR TWO, BUT IMPACTS TO OUR SALES TAX BASE GENERATIONS FROM NOW. BY ALLOWING THE COUNCIL, THE COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION PROVIDED BY OR THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL IS OPPOSITE OF WHAT WAS PROVIDED TO THE PNC AND THAT IS TO APPROVE THIS SWAP. AND I BELIEVE THAT'S BECAUSE OF ITS ANNEXATION DATE BEING IN 2017 AFTER THE 2013 DATE. I DO ASK YOU TO LOOK FORWARD TO THAT LONGER RANGE FUTURE, AND ALSO USE THIS AS A CALLING POINT TO POSSIBLY REACH NEGOTIATIONS AGAIN WITH ESD 12, TO PERHAPS FIND A WAY TO UTILIZE THE SALES TAX REVENUE AND THE GROWTH THAT IS HAPPENING IN THE CITY TO HELP BENEFIT THE CITY TO NOT. RATHER THAN WHERE I SAW IT IN PFLUGERVILLE, IT WAS DEFUNDING THE ESD. I SEE THIS AS DEFUNDING OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT. I SEE IT AS DEFUNDING OUR BUILDING SERVICES DEPARTMENT. I SEE THIS AS DEFUNDING THE FUTURE REC CENTER AND THE PUBLIC LIBRARY THAT WE PLAN TO BUILD HERE NEAR THIS PARCEL IN THE NEAR FUTURE, AND I REALLY ASK US TO LOOK LONG RANGE ABOUT THAT, PERHAPS HAVING CITY MANAGEMENT WORK WITH ESD 12 LEADERSHIP TO TRY TO FIND A MIDDLE GROUND, PERHAPS SPLITTING THAT PENNY IN HALF OR FINDING SOMEWHERE ELSE WHERE WE CAN BRING VALUE TO THESE AREAS AND HELP SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY LONG TERM. AND WITH THAT, I YIELD THE FLOOR. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.NEXT UP WE HAVE CASSANDRA MCGOWAN. HI. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. MY NAME IS CASSANDRA
[00:05:07]
MCGOWAN. I AM A RESIDENT OF MAINER. I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE ABOUT 2015. AND THE AUSTIN AREA OR TRAVIS COUNTY SINCE I MOVED HERE FROM CHICAGO. AND SO MY CONCERN IS I LIVE RIGHT ON WILLIAM HARRISON STREET RIGHT OFF OF 290. AND THERE'S A BIG MOUNTAIN OF DIRT. I MEAN, REALLY HUGE. I DON'T KNOW HOW TALL, BUT IT'S VERY LARGE. IT'S A BLOCK, IN MY VIEW, OUT OF MY KITCHEN WINDOW. MY FAMILY IS CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY IN CASE SOMETHING SHOULD HAPPEN AS FAR AS RAIN OR FLOODS OR ANYTHING. BECAUSE OF WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING IN KERRVILLE COUNTY AND TEXAS AREA, ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN THESE DAYS. SO THIS MOUNTAIN OF DIRT IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME AND MY FAMILY. AS A SENIOR CITIZEN, I, I LIVE ALONE, I SOMETIMES DON'T EVEN LOOK OUT OF THE WINDOW FOR BREAKFAST OR ANYTHING BECAUSE IT'S VERY DISTURBING AND IT'S STRESSFUL. SO I WANT TO KNOW FROM THE CITY OF MAINER OR THIS COUNCIL WHO GRANTED PERMISSION, WERE WE INFORMED? OR MAYBE I WASN'T AT THE MEETING BECAUSE THIS IS MY ONLY SECOND TIME HERE. BUT WITH THAT BEING SAID, I STILL WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ANSWERS CONCERNING THAT CONCERNING MY SAFETY FOR MYSELF AND MY NEIGHBORS. SO IF I CAN GET SOME KIND OF FEEDBACK OR FOLLOW UP TO GIVE ME SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THIS, THIS LAND, THIS HOSPITAL THAT'S GOING TO BE BUILT, WHICH IS A GREAT THING, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHO WILL FOLLOW UP AND GIVE ME ANSWERS.BUT THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE TODAY FOR, TO FIND OUT ANSWERS AND GET SOME FEEDBACK. WITH THAT, I'LL YIELD MY TIME IF THAT'S THE CORRECT THING TO SAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO PUBLIC
[PUBLIC HEARINGS]
HEARINGS. NUMBER ONE, CONDUCT THE PUBLIC HEARING ON A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR 10,000FT■!S IN MEDICAL OFFICE SPACE BEING LOCATED NEAR THE EAST EASTERN CORNER OF. BOYCE AND NORTH OF US HIGHWAY 290, ALSO REFERRED TO AS 13400 EAST US HIGHWAY 290. MAYNARD, TEXAS. WHO'S COMING UP? MAYOR COUNCIL MICHAEL BURRELL, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY OF MAYNARD. PARDON ME. I WAS SPEAKING WITH OUR CONCERNED RESIDENT. THIS SPECIFIC USE PERMIT. THANK YOU.THIS SPECIFIC USE PERMIT IS FOR A MEDICAL OFFICE. THIS ITEM WAS BROUGHT PREVIOUSLY TO THE COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION. BUT I REQUESTED THAT WE LEAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AND POSTPONE THE ITEM TO DO A BIT MORE DUE DILIGENCE, PARTICULARLY PERTAINING THE ANNEXATION DATE VERSUS THE. I WON'T CALL IT THE INCIDENT WE'RE DEALING WITH. THE IS THE 12 PERTAINING TO SALES TAX AND HOW THAT IS SPLIT WHEN CERTAIN PROPERTIES WERE ANNEXED. THIS PROPERTY IS ONE THAT WE CURRENTLY DO NOT RECLAIM SALES TAX ON. SO THE INITIAL RECOMMENDATION OF DENIAL CAME FROM A PLACE OF ALLOWING FOR A SALES TAX, APPLICABLE BUSINESS OR HIGH SALES TAX GENERATING BUSINESS TO GO ON THIS LOT, BUT WE DO NOT CLAIM IT IN THIS AREA, SO IT'S A NON-ISSUE AT THIS POINT IN TIME. SO YOU'RE ASKING THAT WE LEAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN? NO, WE LEFT IT OPEN LAST MEETING. OKAY. TO ALLOW ME TO DO FURTHER DUE DILIGENCE. NOW WE CAN CONTINUE KNOWING THAT WE DO NOT CLAIM SALES TAX FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY. OKAY. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? COUNCIL MEMBERS. BESIDES WHAT WE HEARD TODAY, IS THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS THAT YOU'VE RECEIVED FROM ANY OTHER RESIDENTS THAT WERE REACHED OUT TO? I WAS REACHED OUT TO, BUT IT WAS PRIMARILY TO INQUIRE ABOUT WHY THEY RECEIVED THE NOTICE. AND IT'S JUST TO EXPLAIN THAT WE'RE REQUIRED BY LAW TO SEND OUT NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN A CERTAIN RANGE. THERE WAS SUPPORT FOR A MEDICAL OFFICE ALSO, BUT THAT WAS THE EXTENT OF THE COMMUNICATION I RECEIVED.
OTHER QUESTIONS. COMMENTS COUNCIL MEMBERS.
[00:10:24]
MAYOR. COUNCIL. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC. WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT. YEAH, I'M I'M MAKING SURE I GET EVERYBODY A VOICE BEFORE. YEAH. BEFORE WE CLOSE. BEFORE I ASK MY QUESTION. YEAH. I'M SORRY. ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANYTHING? I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS. SO JUST SO I'M UNDERSTANDING, WE POSTPONED TO THIS WEEK TO STUDY THE TAX SITUATION. AND BECAUSE OF THAT PART, WE'RE RECOMMENDING. WE HAVE THE LANGUAGE RECOMMENDATION THAT SAYS APPROVED. BUT THE X IS UNDER DISAPPROVE. THAT SHOULD NOT BE THERE. MY APOLOGIES FOR THE PLANNING AND ZONING RECOMMENDATION WAS DENIAL, BUT FOR FURTHER CLARITY, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT BLANK FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING. OKAY. WELL, NO, NO, I'M I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THIS IS PUBLIC HEARING. I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND BECAUSE I'VE READ I ALREADY READ AHEAD ON ON ITEM FIVE. AND SO I'M JUST TRYING TO GET CLARITY ON DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING WHAT OUR RECOMMENDATION IS BASED OFF OF WHAT YOU DISCOVERED. THE PUBLIC HEARING WOULD BE JUST TO CLOSE IT. THERE'S NO DECISION. I'M UNDERSTANDING. I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PUBLIC HEARING IS. I'M NOT ASKING FOR A VOTE. I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT STAFF'S THOUGHTS ARE ABOUT IT, SINCE IT'S BEEN BROUGHT UP IN PUBLIC COMMENTS, AND WE HELD THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE DUE RESEARCH. AND SO I'M ASKING IN PUBLIC, IN THE PUBLIC HEARING, WHAT IS STILES RECOMMENDATION? BECAUSE IN THE ITEM FIVE, IT SAYS THE LANGUAGE HAS APPROVAL AND DISAPPROVAL. SO I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU ALL'S SO THAT IT'S CLEAR. SO WE HAVE CLARITY AND COUNCIL CAN HAVE MORE CONVERSATION IF THEY NEED TO HAVE IT RIGHT NOW BEFORE WE GET TO ITEM FIVE. THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO SEE. YES SIR.WE'RE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL BECAUSE CURRENTLY ON THIS LOT THERE'S ALREADY A THIS IS NEXT TO PRESIDENTIAL. THERE'S THE PRESIDENTIAL STORAGE. AND IT WILL BE EVENTUALLY SUBDIVIDED.
THERE'S CURRENTLY NOT MEDICAL OFFICE IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA. AND SINCE WE DON'T CLAIM SALES TAX, IT IS A REASONABLE USE TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS LOT. OKAY. SO THIS BIT THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING IS FOR STORAGE. NO MA'AM. THE LOT ITSELF IS WHOLE. THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT IS TO ALLOW FOR THE MEDICAL OFFICE. THE LOT WILL EVENTUALLY BE SUBDIVIDED AND IT'LL BE TWO SEPARATE LOTS. BUT AS IT STANDS, THERE'S ALREADY A NON-HIGH SALES TAX GENERATING USE ON THE PROPERTY, SO IT'S NOT FOREIGN TO THE LOT ITSELF CURRENTLY. EVERYBODY ON THE SAME PAGE.
OKAY, NOW. MAYOR COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM NUMBER ONE. WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE. IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN WEIR? ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? BEING NONE LEGAL, CAN I ASK A QUESTION REAL FAST? NO. I'LL WAIT TILL I GET TO HER. I'LL WAIT TILL HER. COME ON. NO QUESTION TO THE MOTION. ALL IN FAVOR? OPPOSED? I'M SORRY. ALL IN FAVOR? OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES. ITEM NUMBER TWO. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING ON SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR A COMMERCIAL GAS STATION DEVELOPMENT TO INCLUDE EIGHT MPDS AND FOUR EVS. EV CHARGING STATIONS IN THE SUBDIVISION ON ONE LOT ON .4.11 ACRES, MORE OR LESS, AND BEEN LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST INTERSECTION OF OLD TAYLOR, MAYNARD TAYLOR ROAD AND FM 973 MAYNARD, TEXAS. YES, SIR. MAYOR.
COUNCIL. THIS ITEM WAS REQUESTED TO BE PULLED BY OR NOT PULLED, BUT LEAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AND POSTPONE THE REGULAR ITEM BY THE APPLICANT SO WE COULD HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSIONS SURROUNDING THE RECOMMENDATION OF STAFF FOR THE REGULAR AGENDA ITEM. STAFF IS STILL STANDING FIRM ON THE RECOMMENDATION OF DENIAL. WHEN WE DO GET TO THAT ITEM, HOWEVER, WE ARE NEGOTIATING OTHER POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF DIFFERENT THINGS ON THIS LOT AS WELL AS OTHERS WITHIN THE CITY. BUT THE RECOMMENDATION ONCE WE GET TO THE ITEM IS STILL DENIAL.
QUESTIONS? COMMENTS. STAFF MEMBERS. WOULD THAT RECOMMENDATION BE BECAUSE WE'RE SAYING NO MORE GAS STATIONS? PARDON? I SAID, WOULD THAT RECOMMENDATION BE BECAUSE WE ARE SAYING NO MORE GAS STATIONS? YES, THAT'S CORRECT. THERE ARE THERE'S CURRENTLY A GAS STATION
[00:15:04]
THAT RECENTLY OPENED WITHIN LESS THAN HALF A MILE TO THE SOUTH, AS WELL AS THE EXISTING SHADOW GLEN, THE ONE GAS STATION FOR SHADOW GLEN SUBDIVISION, AS WELL AS THE LARGER GAS STATION GOING AT THE CORNER OF 973 AND 290 FOR H-E-B. SO THE CLOSE PROXIMITY AND APPEAL OF CERTAIN BRANDS IS WE WANTED TO STAND FIRM ON THE IDEA OF NO MORE GAS STATIONS WHERE THEY AREN'T ABSOLUTELY NEEDED, WHOSE IDEA IS NO MORE GAS STATIONS? BECAUSE I DON'T RECALL COUNCIL, NOT NECESSARILY.NO MORE GAS STATIONS, BUT NOT AS MANY CLUSTERED IN ONE AREA TO HAVE FOUR WITHIN A MILE OF EACH OTHER TO STAFF. I STILL DON'T RECALL COUNCIL SAYING THAT. I WILL DO THAT DILIGENCE TO SEE WHERE THAT DIRECTIVE CAME FROM. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF GAS STATIONS, AT LEAST IN CLOSE PROXIMITY ALONG MAJOR CORRIDORS, WAS NOT APPEALING. BUT THAT CAN CERTAINLY BE REVISITED. WELL, I MEAN, IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FROM AN ECONOMIC STANDPOINT AND IT'S NOT IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LIKE IT DOESN'T MEET OUR LAND USE MAPS AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS, AND WE'VE DESIGNATED CERTAIN AREAS TO NOT DO THIS AND THAT AS A COUNCIL, THEN I THINK THAT'S A GOOD, GOOD INFORMATION TO FOLLOW. I'M JUST I'M ASKING BECAUSE I DON'T RECALL US SITTING DOWN AND SAYING, AND I'M NOT SAYING FOR OR AGAINST WHAT I'M SAYING IS I JUST DON'T RECALL A SAYING SOMETHING SHOULD NOT HAPPEN BECAUSE OF PROXIMITY. THE OKRA PROPERTY. I DO NOT HAVE THE ANNEXATION DATE AT THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT I CAN EASILY FIND IT. SO THAT'S WHY I'M SEEKING CLARITY, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO BE MINDFUL OF THE WORDS AND THINGS WE'RE SAYING. AND SO IF WE'RE SAYING THAT WE'RE NO LONGER THAT WE MAKE DECISIONS BASED OFF OF PROXIMITY, THEN WE HAVE TO THAT THAT WOULD HAVE HAD TO COME AS A RECOMMENDATION TO STAFF IN REGARDS TO HOW WE'RE GOING TO ADJUST FROM OUR FUTURE LAND USE MAP, COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS SO THAT WE CAN LIKE INSTITUTE THAT. AND I DON'T I DON'T RECALL THAT WE SAID THAT.
SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE. IF THERE'S A THAT THERE'S ANOTHER RATIONALE FROM THAT, THAT, THAT WE, THAT MAYBE WE EXPLORE IN REGARDS TO IF IT'S IMPACTING RESOURCES, WATER, WASTEWATER, IF THERE'S A BETTER USE IN REGARDS TO THAT, THAT AREA FOR, FOR OUR ECONOMIC PLAN OR OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, BASICALLY USING DATA TO KIND OF MAKE THOSE DECISIONS VERSUS SAYING, BECAUSE I KNOW, I KNOW, EVERYONE'S MIXED ON HOW MANY GAS STATIONS THE CITY SHOULD HAVE AND IN A CERTAIN MILE RANGE. BUT WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT IF WE WANT TO MAKE A DECISION ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THAT WE DO IT IN THE PROPER WAY AND VOTE AND SAY, LET'S LOCK THAT OUT VERSUS AS HAVING INFORMAL PROCESSES THAT THAT KIND OF WEED THINGS OUT. YES, SIR. I WILL SAY, MAYOR, TO A YEAR AGO WHEN WE HAD THE ONE PROPERTY THAT JUST OPENED, I THINK THERE WAS CONCERNS WHEN A DEVELOPER CAME AND MADE COMMENT ABOUT STATIONS AND SOME ACCIDENTS. AND SO WE KNOW THAT WAS ALWAYS A CONCERN. IF YOU GOT STATIONS ON ACROSS THE LANES OF TRAFFIC AND KNOWING THAT 1973 IS REALLY BUSY AND ADDING EXTRA, PEOPLE WANT TO GO TO A CERTAIN STATION IF IT HAS CERTAIN ITEMS, CREATES A POTENTIAL CROSSING OF LANES OF TRAFFIC. AND I THINK GOING NORTH OF TOWN, THAT WAS THE CONCERN VERSUS COMING SOUTH OF TOWN. AND I THINK THAT WAS KIND OF KNOWING THAT WE HAVEN'T GOT ALL THE SCHEMATICS FROM THE 1973 NORTH STUDY, BUT WE KNOW THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME THINGS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO STUDY AND, AND NO SETBACKS BEING THERE. NOW TO THE TEXDOT RIGHT OF WAY. KEEP THAT IN MIND. WE NEED TO KEEP THAT IN MIND AS WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE, SINCE WE DON'T HAVE A PERIMETER SETBACK FROM TXDOT, IS TO MAKE SURE WE KNOW WE CAN SHARE INFORMATION THAT COULD BE IMPACTED BY A PARKING LOT, THAT COULD BE REDUCED IF RIGHT OF WAY IS NEEDED FOR THE INTERCHANGE THERE AT THAT. GREG LANE AND NOT 73 INTERCHANGE. YEAH. AND THAT WOULD BE MORE OF MY CONCERN IS HAVE WE WITH THE LANDOWNERS HAD THE CONVERSATION ABOUT THE POTENTIAL EXPANSION OF THE ROLES AND MAYBE SOME OF THOSE MAPS THAT WE'VE SEEN OR THAT TEXT THAT THAT CAMPBELL AND THE ENGINEERS HAVE PROPOSED FOR THOSE AREAS BECAUSE IT IT MIGHT EAT UP A LOT OF THAT RIGHT OF WAY OR EVEN ENCROACH UPON MAYBE SOME OF THAT DESIGN. THAT WOULD BE MOST OF MY CONCERN. NOT NECESSARILY WHAT'S GOING THERE, BUT WILL THE WILL THAT FUTURE EXTENSION, WHETHER IT BE HIGHWAY? WELL, WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. LAST OUR LAST CONVERSATION WAS TALKING
[00:20:02]
ABOUT MULTIPLE PHASE INS. AND SO OBTAINING RIGHT AWAY DOING THESE LANES HERE FIRST AND THEN DOING THIS AND THEN BUILDING UPWARD AND THAT KIND OF STUFF CONNECTING TO A POTENTIAL TO THE 290 HIGHWAY SITUATION. AND SO WITH ALL THOSE CONVERSATIONS, I WOULD JUST WONDER IF, IF ANYBODY THAT'S ON THAT, I GUESS THIS IS ON THE WEST, THE EAST SIDE OR THE WEST SIDE. IT'S ON THE WEST SIDE. AND, AND WITH THOSE ENTRY POINTS, BECAUSE THAT'S RIGHT AROUND THE AREA WHERE WE TALKED ABOUT PROPOSALS ON AND OFF RAMPS. IN SOME OF THOSE SCENARIOS, IF THOSE CONVERSATIONS HAVE HAPPENED TO HELP THE LANDOWNER MAKE A MORE INFORMED OR DEVELOPER OR WHOEVER IS, YOU KNOW, IN THE AREA, MAKE A MORE INFORMED DECISION ABOUT THEIR THEIR PRODUCT SO THAT THEY CAN GET THE BEST VALUE OUT OF THE LAND. THAT'S THAT WOULD BE MY CONCERN ABOUT NOT NECESSARILY A GAS STATION, BUT ABOUT ANY PRODUCT THAT'S GOING TO GO ON IN THAT INTERSECTION, BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE BEEN HAVING. SO JUST KEEPING PEOPLE INFORMED SO THEY CAN DO THEY CAN DO THEIR BEST TO HELP THE COMMUNITY AT THEIR BEST. YES, SIR. TO THAT POINT, IF I MAY ASK FOR, I GUESS, A BIT OF DIRECTION TO THAT FRONT WITH THE CHANGES IN PRELIMINARY PLANS FOR THE 973 EXPANSION AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE, I GUESS, HOW SHOULD I GO ABOUT PRESENTING THAT INFORMATION IF IT'S NOT NECESSARILY FINITE? JUST LIKE THAT? THIS IS INFORMATION. IT'S NOT FINAL SO THAT IT CAN BE IN THEIR AWARENESS. IT'S COMING DOWN THE PIPE. I MEAN, WE WERE I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. WE WERE DEALING WITH THE POSSIBLE REALIGNMENT, 973 REALIGNMENT.AND WE WERE AND THINGS WERE MOVING AND INFORMATION WASN'T GOING FROM TXDOT TO DIFFERENT BUSINESSES AND LANDOWNERS. AND SO IN THEIR ORIGINAL PLANS, THEY HAD A TURN GOING RIGHT THROUGH A PORTION OF BANK OF AMERICA. AND SO THE PRELIMINARY OR THE POSSIBILITY OF SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, I THINK IS A IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE SOME COURTESY INFORMATION WITH PEOPLE THAT WANT TO BE DO BUSINESS WITH US, AND THEN THEY CAN MAKE THE CHOICE, YOU KNOW, BUT AT LEAST THEY CAN BE INFORMED THAT, HEY, THIS MIGHT HAPPEN. SO YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF SETBACK. THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE DID FOR MANY YEARS ALONG 290, BECAUSE WE KNEW WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO DO AT 290 AND 973. AND SO WE START TELLING PEOPLE, HEY, IF YOU'RE GOING TO BUILD HERE, YOU MIGHT HAVE A SETBACK BECAUSE THESE ARE THE CONVERSATIONS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE WITH TXDOT CAMPUS ABOUT THE HIGHWAY THROUGH HERE. NOW THAT THAT FEASIBILITY, ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES HAS BEEN DONE, YOU KNOW, WE HOPE THAT PEOPLE HAVE SET BACK FAR ENOUGH FOR THAT. YES, SIR. SO IT'S NOT COMMITTING. IT'S JUST GIVING PEOPLE INFORMATION SO THEY CAN MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION ON THE DIRECTION THAT THEY'RE GOING TO GO. OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? COUNCIL MEMBERS. I'LL TAKE QUESTIONS COMMENTS OR EMOTION. HAVE YOU HAD ANY COMMENTS FROM RESIDENTS THAT YOU HAD TO REACH OUT TO THAT WERE IN THE AREA SO FAR, NOT PERTAINING TO THE GAS STATION, PARTICULARLY BECAUSE THIS AREA, THERE AREN'T ANY HOMES BUILT ON IT YET. SO PERTAINING TO THE ACTUAL PROPERTY OWNERS, THERE WEREN'T THAT MANY TO NOTIFY. MOST OF THEM WEREN'T EVEN ACTUALLY IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA. DO YOU KNOW IF THEY'RE LOOKING TO BUILD THIS FIRST AND THEN THE HOMES, THE HOMES TYPICALLY COME FIRST AND THEN THE COMMERCIAL FOLLOWS, THEN THE COMMERCIAL. OKAY. AND JUST A REMINDER FOR COUNCIL, IN THE PRELIMINARY CONVERSATIONS WE HAD WITH THE DEVELOPERS ON THAT, WE DID HAVE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT COMMERCIAL BEING ON THAT FRONTAGE AS AS A DESIRE TO, TO BRING FOR WHETHER IT BEING FOR SALES TAX OR JUST TO HAVE MORE OF A DRAW VERSUS JUST BEING STRAIGHT RESIDENTIAL. SO. DEFINITELY KEEP THAT IN MIND.
AND I THINK WE DID HAVE THE CONVERSATION ABOUT YOU'RE RIGHT. WE DID HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT THE TURNING INTERSECTION PIECES. BUT THAT PART I THINK WAS CLOSER TO THE SHILOH GLENN ENTRANCE BY THE EXISTING GAS STATION. AND HENCE THAT WAS THE REASON WHY WE WERE EXCITED ABOUT THE GAS
[00:25:04]
STATION GOING OVER THERE BY CONFERENCE ROADS. BECAUSE IT GAVE IT GAVE AN OPTION FOR PEOPLE TO NOT HAVE TO MAKE THAT DANGEROUS LEFT. AND IT ALLOWED US. NOW IT ALLOWS FOR PEOPLE TO STAY. RIGHT. AND I THINK. I THINK THERE'S A SPACE TO FURTHER EXPLORE DATA WISE, LOOKING AT THE TRIPS, THE TRAFFIC TRIPS AND THE CAPACITY OF THE EXISTING GAS STATIONS ON 973 TO MAYBE USE THAT DATA TO MAKE A DETERMINATION. OR JUST TO FOR INTERNAL FOR YOUR DEPARTMENT, JUST KIND OF EXPLORE THAT, THAT INFORMATION WHEN YOU HAVE WHAT, 60,000 TRIPS ON 290 AND YOU HAVE A GROWING NUMBER OF TRIPS ON 973 BY 27,000 AND GROWING, RIGHT THEN, YOU KNOW, KIND OF LOOKING AT OTHER TEXAS HAS A MAP WHERE YOU CAN LOOK AT TRIPS AND YOU CAN LOOK AT PROXIMITY OF GAS STATIONS AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS TO DETERMINE MAYBE A MORE STRUCTURED AND FORMULA WAY TO CREATE MAYBE A POLICY OR ORDINANCE THAT YOU CAN BRING TO US FOR THAT KIND OF INFORMATION AND SAY, OKAY, HEY, WE'VE LOOKED AROUND IN OUR IMMEDIATE AREA AND WE'RE SEEING THAT WHEN TRAFFIC TRIPS ARE BETWEEN THIS RANGE AND THIS RANGE, A GOOD RULE OF THUMB IS TO HAVE THIS MANY GAS STATIONS WHEN IT'S WHEN THE TRAFFIC TRIPS ARE THIS LOW. THIS IS MAYBE A BETTER RULE OF THUMB FOR THAT. SO THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING JUST TO EXPLORE AS, AS A TEAM. AND THEN MAYBE BRING BRING GET THAT DATA, THEN BRING THAT BACK AS MAYBE AN ORDINANCE SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE SOME TEETH TO FROM US FOR AND FOR PLANNING AND ZONING TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE AND THOSE KIND OF IF THAT'S IF THAT'S KIND OF THE MINDSET IF WE'RE THINKING, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A NECESSARY NEED, THEN GRAB THAT DATA, MAYBE DO THAT RESEARCH AND THEN BRING BACK BRING AN ORDINANCE SO WE CAN SUPPORT THAT. IT'S CERTAINLY DEFINITELY BETTER TO HAVE AND NOT NEED THAN NEED AND NOT HAVE, IF I MAY. WE ARE ALSO CURRENTLY IN CONVERSATION WITH THE DEVELOPER ABOUT A GAS STATION AT ANOTHER LOCATION, MAYBE NOT NECESSARILY AS CLOSE IN PROXIMITY ON 973, BUT A LITTLE FARTHER NORTH. THEY'RE VERY PRELIMINARY CONVERSATIONS THOUGH, SO MORE TO COME AS WE WORK THROUGH THE DETAILS OF THAT. OKAY. AND LAST QUESTION, HAS THE DEVELOPER FEEL ABOUT IT, ABOUT THE RECOMMENDATION, THE DEVELOPER AND THE DEVELOPER IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE WALLACES, THE PEOPLE WHO OWN THE OKRA TRACT, AS WELL AS NUMEROUS OTHER PROPERTIES AROUND THE CITY.THEIR MINDSET IS THEY WANTED THE GAS STATION HERE, BUT IF NOT, THEY HAVE ANOTHER GAS, ANOTHER LOCATION THAT THEY WERE CONTEMPLATING FOR IT. THEY EITHER OR. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. DO WE HAVE A MOTION OR DO WE HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION? MAYOR COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM NUMBER TWO. WE HAVE A MOTION. OH. YES, MA'AM. MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS, SHOULD YOU WANT TO PUT THE ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY, WE WOULD NEED A MOTION TO KEEP THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN. AS A DEVELOPER IS REQUESTING FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING TO BE KEPT OPEN UNTIL THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. OKAY, SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THIS ITEM THEN TONIGHT. IS THAT CORRECT? I SAID, SO THAT MEANS WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THE ITEM TONIGHT BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO KEEP IT OPEN UNTIL THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. SO WE'LL NEED A MOTION STATING THE SAME. ITEM. ITEM SIX WILL BE POSTPONED TO THE NEXT. YEAH, YEAH. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. WE'LL PUT IT. IT'S AUGUST THE 20TH. IS THAT THE NEXT ONE. SQUEEZE IT IN ON THE THIRD. BUT I'M FINE WITH SEPTEMBER 20TH. I DO NOT BELIEVE SO. WE'RE LEAVING THE WINDOW OPEN. SO IT DOES GO BACK TO. NO, NO, NO OKAY. THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN SEPTEMBER 3RD. YES, SIR.
OKAY, MAYOR. COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE LEAVE PUBLIC HEARING. ITEM NUMBER TWO, OPEN UNTIL OUR SEPTEMBER 3RD COUNCIL MEETING. ALL RIGHT. THANK Y'ALL. WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE. IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER MORENO? ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? BEING NONE. ALL IN FAVO? OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES. ALL

THAT THE EFFORT THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH ON OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS AND GETTING FUNDING TO HELP AS GOES A LONG WAY. AND I THINK WE SHOULD SHOOT FOR SEPTEMBER 12TH OR SO TO BE COMPLETED. AND CONGRESSMAN SAID HE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN ATTENDING A RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY FOR INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE CITY OF MAYNARD. SOUNDS GOOD. GOOD WORK TO ALL YOU ALL THAT PARTICIPATE IN IN THE WORK TO GET THE DESIGNS, GET GRANT APPLICATIONS IN AND ALL THE COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT. BUG IN YOUR OWN WAY SO THAT WE COULD WE COULD BE AT THIS POINT, I'M SAYING I'M BEING FACETIOUS, BUT WE DEFINITELY GRATEFUL TO HIM FOR COMING TO MAYNARD AND ASKING WHAT WE NEEDED. AND THEN SUPPORTING. SO AND THANK YOU, CITY MANAGER, FOR YOUR HARD WORK. ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, COUNCIL MEMBERS ON THE REPORT? I WILL SAY ONE OTHER THING, MAYOR, IS THAT ON IT'S GOING TO BE IN NEXT WEEK'S PAPER, A NOTICE OF INTENT FOR THE PROJECT. SO THERE'S GOING TO BE A PERIOD IN WHICH CITIZENS CAN ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROJECT. AND WE CAN SHARE THAT WITH THEM. ENVIRONMENTAL. ANYTHING THAT'S RELATED TO CLOSING OUT THE PROJECT. ONCE THAT PERIOD IS CLOSED, THEN WE'LL HAVE A FORMAL A TIMELINE IN WHICH THE FUNDS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED. SINCE WE PAID MONEY OUT OF OUR POCKET, THIS WOULD BE A PRETTY MUCH A 100% REIMBURSEMENT TO US IN THE AMOUNT OF 850,000. ALWAYS GOOD TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK. ANY OTHER COMMENTS, COUNCIL MEMBERS?

NUMBER THREE CONSIDERATION DISCUSSION.POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE THE CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FOR CONSIDERATION. DISCUSSION.
POSSIBLE ACTION ON A SECOND RENEWAL OF INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES BETWEEN CITY OF AUSTIN AND THE CITY OF MINOR. THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR.

ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? NOT ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. NUMBER FIVE,
[REGULAR AGENDA]
REGULAR AGENDA CONSIDERATION. DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION ON A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR 10,000FT■!S IN MEDICAL OFFICE SPACE, BEING GENERALLY LOCATED NEAR THE EASTERN CORNER OF BOYS PARK AND THE NORTH OF US HIGHWAY 290. ALSO REFERRED TO AS 13400 EAST US HIGHWAY 290. YES, SIR. I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS AND WE ALSO HAVE THE DEVELOPERS REPRESENTATIVE IN CASE YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THEM. OKAY. COUNCIL MEMBERS. I'LL TAKE ANY. MICHAEL, IS THERE GOING TO BE ANY ISSUES WITH IT BEING SO CLOSE TO THE CITY'S LIFT STATION? SO WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON AN ACCESS EASEMENT AGREEMENT TO ALLOW FOR US TO BASICALLY SHARE A DRIVE. SO PART OF THAT ACCESS WILL ALLOW US TO GET TO THE LIFT STATION, WHILE IT'LL ALSO BE UTILIZED TO ENTER THIS PROPERTY. OTHER QUESTIONS? I'M JUST CONCERNED ABOUT GIVING UP SOME MORE SPACE THAT WE COULD BE USING FOR RETAIL. CAN YOU TELL US AGAIN WHY HE HAS VOTED TO DENY THIS? I WAS UNDER THE INITIAL IMPRESSION BEFORE I DID. MY ADDITIONAL RESEARCH OF THIS PROPERTY. WAS SALES TAX ELIGIBLE FOR THE CITY TO CLAIM THAT REVENUE. BUT AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH IT IS NOT. BUT THEY OPERATED UNDER THAT INFORMATION. IT WAS A DENIAL BECAUSE IT WAS GOING TO BE A SALES TAX. TAX OPPORTUNITY. YES, SIR. WHAT KIND OF MEDICAL OFFICES DO YOU KNOW SPECIFICALLY? I DO NOT, AND I BELIEVE THERE IS NOT ONE SPECIFICALLY. YET THERE. PLEASE[00:35:01]
STATE YOUR NAME. BRIAN BARKER WITH ADVANTAGE CONSTRUCTION REPRESENT THE OWNER THAT WILL BE DEVELOPING THE PROJECT. AND THEY THEY'RE IN TALKS WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT GROUPS THAT ARE LOOKING FOR BETWEEN 3000 AND 10,000FT■!S OF SPACE. SO IT COUD BE SEVERAL SMALLER MEDICAL GROUPS OR ONE LARGER ONE. THAT'S ON THE WEST CORNER, EAST CORNER, EAST EAST SIDE. OKAY. IS THAT REALLY CLOSE TO WHERE THAT MICRO HOSPITAL IS GOING TO BE? IN? IT'S A LITTLE FARTHER TO THE EAST, ABOUT A MILE.EAST AND QUARTER. AND SO IN IT, UNDER THE ADDITIONAL RESEARCH THAT YOU GUYS DID TAKE THE TIME TO DO IN TRYING TO FIND OUT ABOUT BEING ABLE TO CLAIM ANY SALES TAX ON THAT PROPERTY, THERE WASN'T ANY OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT. THIS PROPERTY WAS A PART OF THE BURST OF INVOLUNTARY ANNEXATIONS THAT TOOK PLACE AT THE END OF 2017. THE ILA, AS I UNDERSTAND, NOT THE ILA, BUT THE ELECTION THAT TOOK PLACE FOR TRAVIS COUNTY TOOK EFFECT IN 2013. SO ANYTHING AFTER THAT WE WOULDN'T CLAIM. YES, SIR. WE'RE CURRENTLY. YOU GUYS SAY YOUR NAME SCOTT JONES, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR, CITY OF MANER. CURRENTLY IN DISCUSSIONS WITH ESD 12 AND CITY MANAGER CAN ELABORATE ON THIS, BUT WE'RE WE'VE APPROACHED ESD 12 WITH AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT AND WE'RE IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM ABOUT IN A SECOND RENDITION OF THAT ILA IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM ABOUT TRYING TO GET SOME SALES TAX, SPLIT SALES TAX REVENUES WITH THEM. AND IF THAT COMES TO PASS, THEN AND IT'S BEEN SUGGESTED THAT THE FIRST RENDITION OF THE ILA, THEY DIDN'T LIKE, AND THAT WAS KIND OF A BLANKET ILA THAT WE PUT BEFORE THEM. THE SECOND RENDITION IS GOING TO BE THAT WE HAVE THE ATTORNEYS WORKING ON RIGHT NOW IS GOING TO BE MORE OF A PROPERTY BY PROPERTY. AND SO WE'RE TAKING THAT APPROACH WITH THEM, AND WE'RE TRYING TO SPLIT ON THE PROPERTIES THAT WERE ANNEXED AFTER 2013, WHEN THE WHEN THE ELECTION WAS PASSED, WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO DO A 1%, 1% SPLIT WITH THEM. AND THEN ON NEW FUTURE ADDITIONS, WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO DO A HIGHER SPLIT THAN THAT, BUT THAT'S TO BE PROPOSED AND THEIR BOARD HAS TO VOTE ON IT AND SUCH. SO THAT'S YOU KNOW, WE DON'T KNOW YET WHETHER THEY'RE GOING TO ACCEPT THAT, BUT WE'RE SURE PUSHING FOR IT. THANK YOU. SO CAN WE GO BACK TO THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND OUR PLAN. AND CAN YOU TALK ABOUT HOW THIS ALIGNS TO IT OR IF IT DOESN'T ALIGN TO IT? SO 290 IS INTENDED TO BE A COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR FROM REALLY THIS PORTION BACK WEST.
AS YOU GET CLOSER TO WHERE WE CURRENTLY ARE WITH THE OLD DOWNTOWN. IT MENTIONS, OF COURSE, YOUR RETAIL, YOUR BOX OFFICE, SHOPS, STORES, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. BUT IT ALSO DOES INCLUDE THE CAPACITY FOR MEDICAL OFFICE SPACE AND OFFICE SPACE IN GENERAL. AS YOU GET MORE INTO LIKE EMPLOYMENT CENTERS, THAT'S FARTHER OFF, BUT THAT'S AS YOU GO MORE NORTH AND SOUTH FOR YOUR MORE INDUSTRIAL AND LIKE MASSIVE OFFICE PARK, LIKE THINK AS YOU'RE GOING DOWN HOWARD, THE, THE BAY SYSTEMS, THINGS LIKE THAT. THAT'S TYPICALLY WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE OR WHAT THE INTENT TO SEE FOR OUR FUTURE LAND USE MAP IS AS YOU GO FARTHER NORTH AND SOUTH. BUT ALONG 290 IS MEANT TO BE CITIZEN SERVICES, SHOPS, RETAIL, THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
I CAN SAY THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I AM HOPING FOR WITH SPACES LIKE THIS IS THAT WE GET MORE OF THE SPECIALTY CLINICS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE, BECAUSE A LOT OF OUR PEOPLE HAVE TO TRAVEL INTO AUSTIN FOR THOSE TYPES OF THINGS, AND IT WOULD BE EASIER IF WE HAD MORE OF THAT AVAILABLE
[00:40:06]
HERE. I CAN SPEAK A LITTLE OF THAT. SCOTT JONES, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR, BUT CURRENTLY WE'RE IN A IN A SHORTAGE RIGHT NOW, MEDICAL SPACE IN THE CITY, ALL THE MEDICAL SPACE IS 98% LEASED. SO WE DON'T HAVE ANY AVAILABLE BASICALLY. SO IF YOU GO UP AND DOWN 290 AND ANYWHERE ELSE IN TOWN, I'VE HAD DOCTORS CALLING. THE MAYOR HAS REQUESTED THAT I LOOK FOR MEDICAL SPACE FOR A DOCTOR. WE JUST DON'T HAVE ANY. SO I THINK IF MEDICAL SPACE GETS BUILT, IT'LL BE QUICKLY ABSORBED. I KNOW THAT IN MAYNARD TOWN SQUARE, THE DEVELOPMENT WHERE WE'RE LOOKING TO BUILD CITY HALL, THEY HAVE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDINGS, MEDICAL OFFICE SPACE PLANNED THERE, MAINLY BECAUSE THERE'S A BIG NEED. I JUST NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE CLARIFICATION. JUST I'M JUST TRYING TO SAY. EXACTLY. ARE WE TALKING ABOUT WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ON EAST SIDE OF BULLDOG? ARE WE IS IT ON THE FRONTAGE OF 290 ON OR ON THE BULLDOG SIDE? IT'S ON THE FRONTAGE OF 290 DIRECTLY EAST OF OUR LIFT STATION. THAT'S WHY WE WOULD SHARE THE ACCESS. WHATEVER GOES THERE, WE'LL HAVE TO HAVE SOME SORT OF JOINT ACCESS EASEMENT, BUT IT'S AT THAT CORNER. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND THERE WILL BE A TURNING LANE INTO THESE MEDICAL OFFICES THAT IS ENTIRELY DEPENDENT ON WHAT TXDOT MAY REQUIRE THEM. TIA'S. YEAH. WE HAVEN'T DONE TIA YET. CORRECT. WE HAVE NOT DONE THE TIA YET. RIGHT. BECAUSE WE'RE JUST DOING THE PERMIT PART. THIS ESSENTIALLY ALLOWS THEM TO APPLY TO HAVE A MEDICAL OFFICE THERE, THAT THINGS OF THAT NATURE WILL BE HANDLED WITH THE SITE PLAN SUBMITTAL. THE OTHER COMMENTS QUESTIONS COUNCIL MEMBERS. YOU GUYS WERE TALKING ABOUT IT EARLIER. IT WASN'T MORE FROM OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SIDE, BUT WAS THERE DID Y'ALL RECEIVE ANY DATA OR JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS SPACE TO BE USED AS MEDICAL OFFICE LIKE REASON FOR IT TO BE THIS VERSUS ANYTHING ELSE? DID DID THE CITY RECEIVE ANYTHING SO THAT WE KNOW THERE WAS A LETTER OF INTENT PROVIDED, BUT THAT WAS THE USE THAT WAS REQUESTED BY THE APPLICANT, AND I CAN SPEAK TO THAT, IF I MAY. THE DEVELOPER HAS BEEN LOOKING AT MULTIPLE USES FOR THIS PARTICULAR LOT, AND BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF IT, IT'S VERY SMALL BUILDING FOOTPRINT THAT CAN FIT IN THERE. AND THEY'RE ALWAYS HAVING TO BALANCE OUT HOW MUCH PARKING SPACE THEY HAVE VERSUS HOW MUCH BUILDING. AND THIS IS KIND OF A GOOD MIX. BUT THE BEST FEEDBACK THAT THEY'VE BEEN GETTING IS FOR MEDICAL OFFICE. THEY'VE LOOKED AT SEVERAL OTHER DIFFERENT TYPES OF OFFICE USE. VERY THEY'VE HAD VERY LITTLE RETAIL PEOPLE REACHING OUT LOOKING FOR RETAIL, ESPECIALLY FOR SUCH A SMALL BUILDING FOOTPRINT. AND SO THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE GETTING THE MOST FEEDBACK FOR IS FROM MEDICAL GROUPS, PRIMARILY OUT OF THE AUSTIN AREA, THAT ARE WANTING TO MOVE IN AND, AND OPEN UP BUSINESSES HERE LOCALLY. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? COUNCIL MEMBERS. WE DID A LEGISLATIVE AGENDA, I THINK IN 2023. AND THEN RE-UPPED IT FOR THIS LEGISLATIVE SESSION. AND IN THAT AGENDA, WE DID TALK ABOUT ATTRACTING MORE HEALTH CARE OPPORTUNITIES TO THE CITY. AND WE DID ALSO TRY TO FOCUS ON OR WE'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THAT HEALTH CARE BEING SPACES THAT DID NOT CONFLICT WITH SALES TAX. AND SO JUST FROM THOSE CONVERSATIONS. THAT THAT MEETS THIS, THIS AREA KIND OF MEETS THAT, THAT CRITERIA WE SET. ALL RIGHT. WELL, IF THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. YES, MA'AM. MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU ALL KNOW THAT[00:45:03]
FOR THIS MOTION, WE WILL NEED ALL FIVE OF YOU TO VOTE IN THE AFFIRMATIVE AS THERE IS A DISAPPROVAL FROM PLANNING AND ZONING. THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO CONFIRM WITH YOU IN THE PUBLIC HEARING. I SAID, I'LL WAIT TILL I DO MY MOTIONS. OKAY. THANK YOU. YOU BEAT ME TO IT.ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A QUESTION. YES, MA'AM. JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, BECAUSE MAYBE I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND. WAS THIS THE LOCATION OF THAT ON OUR PUBLIC COMMENT THAT MISS MCGOWAN WAS TALKING ABOUT WHERE THE DIRT PILE IS? OKAY, GOOD. THAT IS A PROPERTY THAT'S IN OUR ETJ THAT WE DO NOT REVIEW AND PERMIT. I AM GOING TO GET WITH HER TO TRY TO HELP GUIDE HER TOWARDS WHO SHE CAN CONTACT WITH THE COUNTY, TO ASK QUESTIONS THERE, BUT THAT'S THAT WASN'T US. I JUST FEEL LIKE EVERY PLACE THERE'S CONSTRUCTION, THERE'S PILES OF DIRT. SO I DON'T KNOW. I CAN'T IDENTIFY THEM ALL. OKAY. BUT THE OTHER PART TO THAT QUESTION WAS, WAS JUST I THINK YOU ALLUDED TO IT A LITTLE BIT LIKE WITH THE TIMING OF IT BEING CONSTRUCTED AND BUILT IN REFERENCE TO EVERYTHING ELSE. IS THERE LIKE A TIMELINE ON THIS IN COMPARISON? BECAUSE I GUESS IT COMES AFTER COMMERCIAL. COMMERCIAL COMES SECOND, OR IS THIS ONE FOR THIS? THIS IS ESSENTIALLY THEIR ABILITY TO APPLY FOR THEIR SITE PERMIT. BUT BEING AS THIS WOULD REQUIRE APPROVAL FROM MULTIPLE ENTITIES, ONE OF THEM BEING TXDOT, THEIR PROCESS IS A LITTLE MORE LENGTHY THAN OURS ON OCCASION. SO WHAT WOULD TYPICALLY TAKE TWO YEARS FOR A SITE PLAN TO BE APPLIED FOR, REVIEWED, APPROVED, AND BUILT AND MAY TAKE A LITTLE LONGER AS THERE ARE OTHER ENTITIES THAT YOU HAVE TO GET APPROVAL FROM. OTHER QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
MAYOR COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION THAT WE APPROVE A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR 10,000FT■!S IN MEDICAL OFFICE SPACE, BEING GENERALLY LOCATED NEAR THE EASTERN CORNER OF BOIS D'ARC AND THE NORTH OF US HIGHWAY 290, ALSO REFERRED TO AS 13 400 EAST. US HIGHWAY 290, MANOR, TEXAS. WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE. IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN MORENO. ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION BEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSE. MOTION FAILS, 4 TO 1. DO WE NEED TO DO SO? IT ENDS OR DO WE NEED TO? IS THAT GOTCHA. ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER. LET'S SEE. WE NEED DO WE NEED A MOTION TO POSTPONE ITEM 16 FOR. YEAH. SO WE NEED A MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO POSTPONE ITEM NUMBER SIX UNTIL SEPTEMBER THE 3RD. MAYOR COUNCIL I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE POSTPONE ITEM NUMBER SIX UNTIL SEPTEMBER THE 3RD. WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY COUNCILMAN WALLACE TO POSTPONE UNTIL SEPTEMBER 3RD. IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER MORENO? ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? BEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
NUMBER SEVEN. CONSIDERATION. DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE CHAPTER THREE EIGHT AGREEMENT FOR LEXINGTON AT BOYCE WITH DAVIS CAPITAL INVESTMENTS. YEAH.
MAYOR AND COUNCIL. DAVIS INVESTMENTS HAS OVER HERE AT 109 LEXINGTON HAS ENCOUNTERED NUMEROUS DELAYS IN THEIR CONSTRUCTION OF THEIR PROJECT AND BEYOND THEIR CONTROL. THEY RECEIVED A SIX MONTH EXTENSION ON THE 380 AGREEMENT DEADLINES IN DECEMBER OF 2024. AND DUE TO ISSUES REGARDING COMPLETION OF THE WASTEWATER LINE ON THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNED BY BILL BLOCK NEXT DOOR, REQUIRING FUTURE WORK AFFECTING THEIR PARKING LOT, THEY'VE ONLY RECEIVED A TEMPORARY CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY FROM THE CITY, AND THE TEMPORARY CEO WON'T COMPLY
[00:50:01]
WITH THE CHAPTER 380 AGREEMENT AS WRITTEN. SO IN ORDER TO REMAIN IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE EXISTING CHAPTER THREE AGREEMENT, THE OWNER NOW IS GOING TO REQUIRE SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE 380 AGREEMENT TO REMAIN IN COMPLIANCE DUE TO THOSE CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND HIS CONTROL. SO WE'RE ASKING FOR A ONE YEAR EXTENSION DEADLINE DUE TO THOSE UNKNOWN COMPLETION DATE OF BILL BLOCKS. FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS ON THE PROPERTY NEXT DOOR WHICH IS OUTSIDE OF HIS CONTROL. WE HOPE THEY GET DONE QUICKER. THEY'RE UNDERWAY OVER THERE RIGHT NOW, BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHEN THAT'S GOING TO EXACTLY HAPPEN. SO I KNOW MR. WOODARD CAN SPEAK MORE ABOUT THAT AND THE SEWER LINE ISSUES. AND MR. DAVIS IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.BUT STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE SECOND AMENDMENT BE BE APPROVED FOR THIS 380 AGREEMENT QUESTIONS. COUNCIL MEMBERS. MR. WOODARD, DO YOU MIND TALKING ABOUT THE WATER WASTEWATER? YES, SIR. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR. COUNCIL. I THINK IT'S MORE OF A DRAINAGE, NOT SO MUCH A WASTEWATER LINE. IT'S THE DRAINAGE ISSUE THAT WAS ON THE BACK SIDE. AND I KNOW THAT BETWEEN ERIC AND BILL BLOCK, THEY'RE WORKING TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT DRAINAGE GOES DOWN TO CALDWELL. GOTCHA. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT. I KNOW IT WAS SOMETHING SOMETHING THAT HAD TO DO WITH WATER. I JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHAT COLOR. THE QUESTIONS. DO. WE HAVE FAITH THAT THE ONE YEAR EXTENSION WILL BE ENOUGH? WE CERTAINLY HOPE SO. I MEAN, HE YEAH I MEAN THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE THEY HAVE ONE OF THOSE BUILDINGS OVER THERE. I THINK IT'S THE ONE CLOSEST TO HIM. ONE OF THOSE BUILDINGS HAS A ONE YEAR AGREEMENT ON THEIR 381 HAS A TWO YEAR, ONE HAS A THREE YEAR. SO I'M HOPING IT'S THE, THE ONE CLOSEST TO HIM I BELIEVE HAS THE ONE YEAR. AND THAT'S ALL THEY HAVE. YEAH. MAYOR COUNCIL MICHAEL, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY OF MAYNARD DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, HAS BEEN WORKING BOTH WITH MR. DAVIS AND BILL BLOCK TO KIND OF HELP FACILITATE THE COLLABORATION OF GETTING THAT ALLEYWAY PAVED PROPERLY. WE CAN CERTAINLY GIVE THAT PUSH IN THE DIRECTION TO PRIORITIZE THIS, BECAUSE ONE, WE WANT TO GET THESE PROJECTS COMPLETED, BUT TWO, WE ALSO WANT TO ENSURE THAT THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES AREN'T ADVERSELY AFFECTED, HENCE WHY THIS CAME UP IN THE FIRST PLACE, EVEN THOUGH IT'S SOMETHING THAT WASN'T PREVIOUSLY FORESEEN. OKAY. THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS? I'LL ENTERTAIN QUESTIONS OR A MOTION.
YES, MA'AM. I JUST WANT TO KNOW. SORRY. I GUESS IT SOUNDS. THE POSTPONEMENTS. I HOPE THAT EVERYTHING IS DONE THAT DOESN'T PREVENT IT FROM OPENING AND STARTING. DOES THAT DELAY ANY OF THAT? AND I GUESS, WHAT IS IT CALLED WHEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE COME IN? CURRENTLY THEY HAVE A TEMPORARY CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY WHICH DOES ALLOW THEM TO OPEN AND OPERATE. THEY CAN HAVE PEOPLE MOVE IN STORES, ALL TYPES OF THINGS. THAT DOESN'T STOP THEM. OFFICIAL CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY IS MORE SO FOR THE FINANCIAL SIDE. CERTAIN BANKS WON'T ALLOW YOU TO DO CERTAIN THINGS UNLESS YOU HAVE AN ACTUAL CO, BECAUSE WITH A TEMPORARY IT CAN BE REVOKED. NOT THAT WE WOULD, BUT THEY DO EXPIRE AND WE CAN TAKE THEM BACK IF SOMETHING WERE EVER NECESSARY FOR US TO DO THAT. BUT HE CAN OPERATE. ALL RIGHT. I GUESS MY CONCERN WAS THAT SOMEWHERE I FEEL LIKE THE CITY WAS LOSING MONEY. BUT NOW MY JOB, MY JOB IS JUST TRY TO GET GET THE 380 AGREEMENT CONTINUED SO THAT HE CAN RECEIVE HIS REIMBURSEMENTS AS HE WAS SUPPOSED TO, BECAUSE NOTHING, NOTHING THAT HAPPENED HERE WAS WITHIN HIS CONTROL. SO HE'S GOT THE PROPERTY OWNER NEXT DOOR CAUSING THE DRAINAGE ISSUES AND CAN'T BE COMPLETED UNTIL THEY GET THEIR STUFF DONE. SO YEAH, SO UNFORTUNATE SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT IT HAPPENED. THE QUESTIONS. MAYOR, COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE CHAPTER 380 AGREEMENT FOR THE LEXINGTON VOICE WITH DAVIS CAPITAL INVESTMENTS, LLC. MOTION BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE. IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN? WE'RE ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? NO QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION. ALL IN FAVOR? OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR.
[00:55:05]
MOVING ALONG. NUMBER EIGHT CONSIDERATION. DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION ON A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING PETITION FOR VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION OF 2.274 ACRES, MORE OR LESS BEING LOCATED IN TRAVIS COUNTY AND ADJACENT AND CONTIGUOUS TO THE CITY LIMITS, PROVIDING FOR AN OPEN MEETING AND OTHER RELATED MATTERS. YES, SIR. MAYOR. COUNCIL. MICHAEL, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY OF MAYNARD. THIS ITEM IS SETTING THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR AN ADDITIONAL LOT TO BE ANNEXED FOR LONE STAR LLP. IT'S LOT SEVEN OF THE MAIN COMMERCIAL PARK. IT'S DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM WHAT'S NOW LONE STAR ELECTRIC. THEY'RE LOOKING TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL LOT TO THEIR OPERATIONS SO THEY CAN UTILIZE IT FOR STORAGE AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE, BUT OUR PERMITTING PROCESS IS A LOT EASIER THAN THE COUNTY, SO THEY'RE TRYING TO WORK WITH US.QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? COUNCIL MEMBERS. AND DID YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING? OKAY. OH HE SAID HE'S AVAILABLE IF HE NEEDS TO BE. QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? COUNCIL MEMBERS. IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. MAYOR COUNCIL LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 2025. DASH 26 ACCEPTING THE ANNEXATION PETITION FOR THE VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION OF 2.274 ACRES, MORE OR LESS BEING LOCATED IN TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS AND ADJACENT AND CONTINGENT TO THE CITY LIMITS, PROVIDING FOR AN OPEN MEETING AND OTHER RELATED MATTERS AND SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING FOR ANNEXATION. MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER RAYNER. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN WHERE? ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? NO QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION. ALL IN FAVOR? OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU. NUMBER NINE CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON NEWLY PROPOSED BENEFIT PLANS AS PROPOSED BY HUB INTERNATIONAL FOR THE CITY OF MANER, MISS VASQUEZ. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR. CITY COUNCIL TRACY VASQUEZ, CITY MAYOR, HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTOR. THIS EVENING. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, THERE YOU GO. AS YOU KNOW, BACK IN JUNE OF 2024, THE CITY OF MAYNARD AND HUB INTERNATIONAL PARTNERED TOGETHER IN ANALYZING AND REVIEWING HEALTH BENEFIT PLANS THAT BEST SUITS THE CITY. AND WE HAVE HUB INTERNATIONAL. TONIGHT. WE HAVE MR. BRETT BOWERS WITH US. HE'S GOING TO GO OVER SOME OF THE MEDICAL BENEFIT QUOTES AND A HUB PRESENTATION TO SHOW YOU THE DIFFERENCE ON WHAT WE CAN SAVE THIS YEAR. ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING SIR. COUNCIL, HOW ARE YOU GUYS DOING.
DOING WELL. AWESOME. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS BRETT BOWERS. I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO SERVE THE CITY OF MAYNARD AND THE CAPACITY OF YOUR EMPLOYEE BENEFITS CONSULTANT. OH, OKAY. YEAH, I'LL DO IT. WE BEGAN WORKING TOGETHER LAST YEAR, AND AGAIN, IT'S ALWAYS IMPORTANT FOR ME, AT LEAST, TO SEE WHERE WE'VE BEEN BECAUSE IT HELPS US UNDERSTAND WHERE WE NEED TO GO. YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN WITH TEXAS HEALTH BENEFITS POOL, FORMERLY HTML, FOR 35 YEARS, COINCIDENTALLY USED TO BE THE MARKETING DIRECTOR THERE. SO I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH TEXAS HEALTH. LAST YEAR WE PARTNERED WITH THE CITY, AND WE ESSENTIALLY WENT OUT TO THE MARKET TO MAKE CERTAIN YOU GUYS WERE GETTING THE MOST THE BEST BENEFITS AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE PRICE. WE REALLY HAD A GREAT STORY TO TELL. LAST YEAR. WE REDUCED THE RATES PRETTY MUCH IN EVERY LINE OF COVERAGE BY DOUBLE DIGITS AND IMPROVED BENEFITS. AND SO YOU KNOW THAT THAT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO LOOK BACK AND SEE SUCCESS. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS YEAR, AS WE WERE LOOKING TOWARDS THE RENEWAL OF THESE PLANS, WE DID HAVE SOME CATASTROPHIC CLAIMS. AND SO THE WAY THAT LOOKS IS IF WE LOOKED AT YOUR WHAT'S CALLED A LOSS RATIO, YOUR CLAIMS DIVIDED BY YOUR PREMIUMS, YOU GUYS HAD 142% LOSS RATIO, WHICH MEANS YOU HAD A LOT MORE CLAIMS THAN PREMIUMS. AND THAT REALLY SETS YOU UP VERY POORLY FOR A FAVORABLE RENEWAL. KNOWING THAT WOULD BE THE CASE, WE PROACTIVELY DID ANOTHER RFP ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF MAYNARD. ONE INTERESTING FACT ABOUT THAT CLAIM, IT WASN'T TO REPEAT IT WAS AN INCIDENT. IT WAS A $600,000 CLAIM AND IT WAS PAID. AND THEN THERE WAS NO DIAGNOSIS OR PROGNOSIS TO THINK THAT IT WOULD CONTINUE INTO THE FUTURE PLANS. SO WE KNEW THAT WHEN PEOPLE WERE LOOKING AT YOUR CLAIMS EXPERIENCE, THAT THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT MORE FAVORABLE THAN UHC. WHO HAD TO PAY THAT CLAIM. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? AND SO ANYWAY, AS IT TURNED OUT, THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA. WHEN WE DID GET RENEWAL, THAT WAS A 25% INCREASE. OBVIOUSLY, WE WORKED
[01:00:04]
ON BEHALF OF THE CITY AND KIND OF NEGOTIATED AND USED THE RFP INFORMATION TO KIND OF LEVERAGE THAT TO GET THAT INCREASE DOWN. UNFORTUNATELY, BECAUSE OF THE HIGH CLAIMS, THE LOWEST THEY WOULD GO IS 17.9%. HOWEVER, THROUGH THE RFP PROCESS, WE DID HAVE A NUMBER OF COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. THE ONE THE BEST AND FINAL THAT BASICALLY KIND OF ROSE TO THE TOP, IF YOU WILL, WAS BLUE CROSS AND BLUE SHIELD. THEIR PROPOSAL WAS ONLY FOR A 6% INCREASE AS WELL. WE WERE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE A RATE CAP ON NEXT YEAR'S RENEWAL, MEANING NEXT YEAR. WORST CASE SCENARIO, THERE'S A 14.5% INCREASE. OF COURSE, WE DON'T WANT A 14.5% INCREASE, BUT AT LEAST WE HAVE THAT AS A BACKSTOP. BUT ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL, IT WAS ABLE. THIS PROPOSAL ALLOWED US TO DO TWO THINGS TO KIND OF MEET THE BUDGET FOR THE CITY OF MAYNARD AND THEN EQUALLY IMPORTANT, OR MAYBE EVEN MORE, IS TO MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF YOUR BENEFIT PLANS. A LOT OF YOUR EMPLOYEES, YOU KNOW, AREN'T REAL HIGH WAGE EARNERS. AND THE FACT THAT YOU GUYS OFFER, YOU KNOW, THE INSURANCE AND TRY TO MINIMIZE THOSE OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS IS REALLY IMPORTANT. SO THAT IS KIND OF THE MAIN MEAT OF IT. THERE IS A TECHNICALITY HERE THAT SHOULD PROBABLY BE MENTIONED BECAUSE OF THE TIMING OF THE RFP. WHEN WE RECEIVED IT, WE NEGOTIATED IT. WE FINALLY HAD BEST AND FINAL RESPONSES. BY THE TIME WE WERE ABLE TO DO THAT WITH BLUE CROSS AND BLUE SHIELD, WE MISSED THE ONE MONTH DEADLINE THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO BRING THIS TO YOU GUYS THE MONTH BEFORE. SO THAT CREATED A KIND OF A RIPPLE, BUT WE'RE USING IT. WE'RE CALLING IT GOOD NEWS.TRACY HAS ALWAYS WANTED US TO GET BACK TO AN OCTOBER 1ST RENEWAL TO ALIGN WITH THE FISCAL YEAR OF THE CITY, BECAUSE CURRENTLY WE'RE A91. SO THE PLAN OF ACTION AT THIS POINT IS WE HAVE TO ACCEPT THE 17.9% INCREASE FROM UHC FOR ONE MONTH. SO THAT WOULD BE FROM SEPTEMBER 1ST TO OCTOBER 1ST, AND THEN BEGINNING OCTOBER 1ST. THEN WE WOULD IMPLEMENT THE BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD RATES. AND THEN OF COURSE THAT WOULD EXTEND FOR A FULL 12 MONTHS. AND THEN THEY'RE ON GOING FORWARD. IT WOULD PERPETUALLY BE A NEW PLAN YEAR OF OCTOBER 1ST. AND THEN IN REGARDS TO THE OTHER PLANS, THERE REALLY IS ONLY ONE NOTABLE COMMENT TO MAKE. AND THAT IS THE FACT THAT WHEN WE WENT OUT TO BID LAST YEAR FOR YOUR MEDICAL, YOUR DENTAL, YOUR VISION, YOUR DISABILITIES, WE WERE ABLE TO SECURE A MULTIPLE YEAR RATE GUARANTEE. SO THOSE RATES AND THOSE BENEFITS ARE LOCKED IN. AND SO THERE'S LITERALLY NO CHANGE AT ALL ON ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR THE MEDICAL. SO AT THE END OF THE DAY, TO SUMMARIZE ALL OF MY RAMBLINGS, WE'RE HOPING TO GET COUNCIL'S APPROVAL TO RENEW WITH UHC FOR ONE MONTH AND THEN MOVE TO BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD IN OCTOBER, THEREBY CHANGING THE PLAN YEAR. AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT'S GOING TO BE A 6% INCREASE TO THE MEDICAL COST AND MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF THE CURRENT PLAN. THANK YOU SIR.
QUESTIONS? COMMENTS, COUNCIL MEMBERS I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE TECH CREDIT. OH YES SIR YES MA'AM. SO LAST YEAR WHEN WE SO LAST YEAR WHEN WE MOVED FROM TEXAS HEALTH TO UHC, WE KNEW THAT WE WANTED TO IMPLEMENT AN ONLINE ENROLLMENT AND ELIGIBILITY PLATFORM FOR THE CITY. AND WHAT THAT DOES IS EVERY TIME I GET A NEW HIRE, YOU TYPE IT INTO THE SYSTEM AND THEN IT'LL IT'LL SEND ELECTRONIC FEEDS TO UHC AND TO RENAISSANCE AND TO SURGEONS AND TO ALL OF OUR VENDOR PARTNERS, WHICH KEEPS AIR FROM HAVING TO GO INTO THREE DIFFERENT PORTALS. SO WE WERE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE A TECH CREDIT LAST YEAR OF $8,000 TO PAY FOR THAT. AND THEN WE HAVE SINCE IMPLEMENTED THAT SYSTEM AND THAT WILL BE LIVE DURING OPEN ENROLLMENT. SO GOING FORWARD, IT WILL DO FILE FEEDS TO BLUE CROSS AND TO RENAISSANCE LIFE AND SO FORTH. BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY IMPLEMENTED THAT SYSTEM. THERE WERE NO TECH CREDITS AVAILABLE THROUGH BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD.
BUT AGAIN, THAT'S WHERE WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE RATE CAP KIND OF IN LIEU OF A SIMILAR TYPE OF IMPLEMENTATION CREDIT. THANK YOU. WILL EMPLOYEES HAVE TO SWITCH DOCTORS AND PHARMACIES AND STUFF LIKE THAT? YOU KNOW THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. UHC AND BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD. OF THE TWO 800 POUND GORILLAS IN THE INDUSTRY, THEIR OVERLAP IS PROBABLY 97% WHEN IT COMES TO ALL THE HOSPITAL SYSTEMS. THERE WILL BE NO DISRUPTION, BUT THERE COULD BE SOME SPECIALIST, SOME
[01:05:01]
SOME AMBULATORY URGENT CARE CENTERS, BUT NOTHING THAT WOULD REALLY CAUSE A I SHOULDN'T SAY THAT BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW. BUT TYPICALLY WHEN WE DO THAT, WE DON'T SEE A LOT OF DISRUPTION.GOTCHA. THANK YOU. SURE. FOR THE PHYSICIAN'S VISITS. IT SAYS $25 FOR UHC AND $30 FOR BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD. BUT ON UHC IT SAYS ZERO FOR CHILDREN UNDER 19. YEP. SO IS VERY UNIQUE IN THAT REGARD. AND MAN, I WISH ALL THE OTHER CARRIERS COULD GET AS INNOVATIVE AS THEY HAVE DONE IN THAT SPECIFIC WAY. BUT SO UHC FOR DEPENDENTS UNDER THE AGE OF 19, THERE'S NO COPAY ASSOCIATED WITH A PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN. BUT THAT IS UNIQUE TO UHC. AETNA DOESN'T HAVE IT, DOESN'T HAVE IT. BLUE CROSS DOESN'T HAVE IT. HTML DOESN'T HAVE IT. I MEAN, IT LITERALLY IS. THAT'S ONE OF THE COOL THINGS ABOUT UHC THAT IS NOT ABLE TO BE DUPLICATED, UNFORTUNATELY. AND WE'VE ASKED BUT THEIR SYSTEM CAN'T SET IT UP TO PAY A CLAIM BASED UPON SOMEONE'S AGE. SO I MEAN, THEY JUST IT'S A SYSTEM ISSUE. I SEE THAT IT IS ALSO A HIGHER DEDUCTIBLE. YES, MA'AM.
CURRENTLY IT'S A $750 DEDUCTIBLE. AND YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT THAT THAT WOULD BUMP UP TO AN ADDITIONAL $250 IF YOU LOOK. AND AGAIN, I'M I APOLOGIZE. I DIDN'T POINT THAT OUT. I WASN'T IT JUST WASN'T ON TOP OF MY MIND WHEN I SAID NOTHING WOULD CHANGE. THAT WAS ERRONEOUS. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE LOOKED AT IS AGAIN, THE WE RAN A REPORT AND I'M GOING TO SAY THERE WAS LIKE ONLY EIGHT PEOPLE WHO HAD MET THE DEDUCTIBLE FOR THE CITY. YOU KNOW, IT'S TYPICAL MOST PEOPLE WITH THIS PLAN, THE ONLY TIME YOU EVER HIT YOUR DEDUCTIBLE, IT'S NOT WHEN YOU GO TO PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN OR A SPECIALIST OR AN URGENT CARE. THOSE ARE LITTLE BITTY COPAYS. WHERE YOU HIT YOUR DEDUCTIBLE IS IF YOU HAVE MAJOR IMAGING LIKE CAT SCANS, PET SCANS, MRIS, OUTPATIENT SURGERY, OR INPATIENT SURGERY. SO WE RARELY HAVE THAT MANY PEOPLE THAT HIT THE DEDUCTIBLE. BUT WE DO HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE PAYING TO HAVE THEIR KIDS ON THE PLAN. AND BY LOWERING THAT RATE FROM A 17% INCREASE TO A 16% INCREASE, I MEAN, IT REALLY IT'S GOING TO MOVE THE NEEDLE A LOT FOR EVERYBODY. WHEREAS IN THIS SITUATION, BECAUSE THAT DEDUCTIBLE DID GO UP $250, YOU KNOW, IT MIGHT IMPACT EIGHT PEOPLE AND PROBABLY SHOULDN'T SAY THIS, BUT THOSE ARE THE EIGHT PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVE CLAIMS. SO YOU'RE LIKE, WELL, OKAY. BUT YOU KNOW, I KNOW THAT'S PROBABLY NOT THE BEST WAY TO LOOK AT IT. BUT BUT YEAH, THAT'S HOW THAT WORKS. AND THE IN-NETWORK FOR FAMILY.
IS HIGHER FOR THE OUT OF POCKET WITH THE NEW ONE. SO THE WAY THAT WORKS AGAIN IT'S THE DIFFERENT SYSTEM ISSUES RELATED TO UHC AND BLUE CROSS OR UHC AND TEXAS HEALTH, THE WAY THEY FILED THEIR THEIR FULLY INSURED PLANS IS THAT THEY HAVE TWO TIMES THE FAMILY. SO LET'S SAY YOU WERE IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW IN THE CAR WAS ON THE SAME POLICY. THE MAXIMUM YOU WOULD PAY FOR THAT FAMILY WOULD BE $1,500 WITH UHC, WITH BLUE CROSS AND THE OTHER MANY OF THE OTHER CARRIERS, THEY DO THREE TIMES THE FAMILY LIMIT. SO THAT EXPOSURE IS A LITTLE A LITTLE LARGER. IF YOU WERE TO GET INTO A CAR WRECK OR, YOU KNOW, YOU HAD MULTIPLE PEOPLE IN THE SAME FAMILY THAT WERE GOING TO THE HOSPITAL. SO THERE IS DEFINITELY AN AREA THAT I GUESS COULD BE VIEWED AS A TAKEAWAY. BUT AND AGAIN, I'M NOT TRYING TO MINIMIZE IT. IT'S VERY RARE THAT WE SEE FAMILIES HIT THE FAMILY DEDUCTIBLE, BUT IF THERE WERE MULTIPLE FAMILY MEMBERS HITTING THAT DEDUCTIBLE, THEN I GUESS THAT COULD BE A TAKEAWAY. YEAH. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MAYOR.
ACTUALLY, WE HAVE ZERO FAMILY CURRENTLY ON OUR PLANS. WE HAVEN'T FOR YEARS. THERE YOU GO.
YOU SAID WE HAVE, WHAT, ZERO FAMILY? GOTCHA. YEAH. IS IT IS THE EMPLOYEE NUMBER CORRECT? AT 110. TRACY. MISS. HERNANDEZ. VAZQUEZ. THAT WAS AT THE TIME OF THIS. NOT CURRENTLY AS OF I'LL KNOW MONDAY. WE HAVE TWO NEW HIRES STARTING MONDAY AS WELL. WE HAD THREE THIS WEEK THE LAST TWO WEEKS. SORRY. SO IT'S GOING TO GO UP. YEAH. SO JUST A SNAPSHOT IN TIME. YEAH. AND THAT
[01:10:02]
WAS BACK WHEN WE STARTED THE RFP. AND WE ESTIMATED AT THAT TIME I DON'T BELIEVE WE EVEN HAD 110. I THINK IT WAS STILL ONLY AT 104. OKAY. SO WE'RE GOING TO BE PAST THAT. THIS IS AS OF JULY THE 9TH. YES. AND IT WAS ESTIMATED WITH SOME WITH THE ONES THAT WERE COMING ON BOARD WITH THE OPEN POSITIONS AT THAT TIME. AND SO NOW WE STILL HAVE MORE ONBOARDING THIS WEEK. AND WE HAD IT LAST WEEK. AND WE'LL HAVE MORE NEXT WEEK. SORRY. ONE MORE THING. ALSO ON CURRENT BUDGET THAT'S PROPOSED FOR 24. I MEAN, 25, 26, WE ESTIMATED AT THE UNITEDHEALTHCARE AT 17.9%. SO THIS WILL DROP IMMENSELY. IS WAS UNITEDHEALTH CARE PROVIDING SOME TYPE OF INCENTIVE OR OR SOMETHING IN REGARDS TO THE. I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE TWO COMPARISON SIDE BY SIDE AT THE EMPLOYEE SPOUSE OR EMPLOYEE CHILDREN. THE RATES ARE. ABOUT 300, 200 TO $300 LESS THAN BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD. AND. I'M LOOKING AT THE DEDUCTIBLES. AND THE DEDUCTIBLES ARE CLOSE TO THE SAME. A LITTLE BIT LOWER ON THE. SIDE. HOWEVER, THE MONTHLY SAYS.SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE JUST COMING OUT TO LIKE 100. ANNUALLY. IT SAYS 1.1 MILLION, 1.17 MILLION FOR UHC, 1.82 MILLION FOR. BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD. AND THERE'S A DIFFERENCE. SO AGAIN. YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE LIKE FIVE INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE EMPLOYEE AND SPOUSE. WE HAVE 12 INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE EMPLOYEE AND CHILDREN. SO THE COST OF ADDING THOSE DEPENDENTS THAT ARE PAID FOR BY THE EMPLOYEE. SO NO, I UNDERSTAND THAT THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M WHERE I'M GOING AT. I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE IT'S MAYBE I HAD TOO LONG OF A DAY. I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE MATH. DOLLARS CHANGE BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE Y'ALL ARE LOOKING AT THE PAPER ONE RIGHT WHERE IT WENT TO 6%, BECAUSE INITIALLY THEY WERE GOING TO ONLY GIVE US AN 8% COST INCREASE. NOW, AS OF YESTERDAY, IT DROPPED IT DOWN TO 6.1. SO.
OH, SO YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT COPY. I'M SO SORRY. NO THEY HAVE IT ON THEIR ON THEIR BOOKS OKAY.
BUT IF YOU'RE ON THE, ON THE PAPER THAT'S WHY I GAVE THE PAPER VERSION BECAUSE AS OF YESTERDAY WE HAD A NEW UPDATED. SO INITIALLY IT WAS ONLY GOING TO BE IT WAS GOING TO BE UNITEDHEALTHCARE WAS GOING TO GO UP 25%. THEN THEY DROPPED IT TO THE 17.9. AND THEN BLUE CROSS WAS GOING TO GIVE US 8%. AND THEN AS OF YESTERDAY THEY DROPPED IT AGAIN TO THE 6.1 OKAY. YEAH I HAVE 9% OKAY. I'M SO SORRY I KNOW WHAT I WAS TRACKING I WASN'T GOING AND I COULD SPEAK JUST REAL QUICKLY TO THE BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD. SO YOU PROBABLY AGAIN I'M ASSUMING IT CAME BEFORE COUNCIL. WE IMPLEMENTED A BENEFIT TRUST. AND WHEN YOU IMPLEMENT A BENEFIT TRUST AS A MUNICIPALITY, YOU'RE NOT SUBJECT TO THE PREMIUM TAX. AND SO THAT'S WHY THOSE BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD RATES WENT DOWN YESTERDAY BECAUSE WE IMPLEMENTED WE IMPLEMENTED THE PREMIUM TAX. SORRY OKAY. YEAH. ALL RIGHT I SEE THERE'S TWO THINGS. THERE'S THE THAT RUN RATE SHEET THAT HAS THE OLD ONE. AND THEN I SEE THE NEW ONE. IT'S NOT IN THE SAME FORMAT SO IT DOESN'T STAND OUT. THE OTHER ONE HAS THE FULL CHART OF QUOTES. GOTCHA. AND THAT'S WHAT'S THROWING IT OFF IS THERE'S A CHART THAT SHOWS THE SIDE BY SIDE FOR EVERY, EVERY AREA. YES, SIR. OKAY, I GOT IT. ALL RIGHT. SO THE MATH WAS MAPPING. IT'S JUST DIFFERENT CHART. ALL RIGHT.
OTHER QUESTIONS. COMMENTS COUNCIL MEMBERS. DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION SO THAT EVERYONE IS COVERED AND THERE'S NO DROP IN COVERAGE FOR THE SEPTEMBER TODAY? YES, MA'AM. WE'VE ALREADY
[01:15:01]
WE'VE ALREADY PREPARED THE GUIDES. AND YEAH, WE HAVE OPEN ENROLLMENT RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR EMOTION? DO THE NUMBERS CHANGE FOR THE EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTION PART FOR BOTH UHC AND BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD? THE CONTRIBUTION STRATEGY MEANING THE CITY PAYING 100% FOR THE EMPLOYEE ONLY COVERAGE, AND THEN THE EMPLOYEES PAYING 100% FOR THEIR DEPENDENT COVERAGE. THAT'S THE SAME. SO THAT HASN'T CHANGED BECAUSE THE RATES DID GO UP 6.1%. THERE WILL BE A LITTLE BUMP IN THE COST FOR ADDING DEPENDENTS. OF COURSE, IT'S A LOT LESS THAN IF IT WAS 18%, BUT IT DEFINITELY THERE'S A THERE'S A THERE'S SOME MONEY THERE. SO DOES IT HAVE TO DO WE HAVE TO STILL HAVE THAT PLAN WHERE THE EMPLOYER PAYS 100% FOR THE EMPLOYEE AND THE EMPLOYEE AND A CHILD OR SPOUSE, WHICHEVER ONE. SO AS TRACY'S WALKING UP TO POSSIBLY CORRECT ME, I WAS GOING TO SAY IS WE PROBABLY WE PAY 100% OF THE EMPLOYEE AND THEN IF THEY HAVE EMPLOYEE SPOUSE, THE AMOUNT WE GIVE TO THE EMPLOYEE SUBTRACTS OUT. AND THEN THAT DIFFERENCE IS WHAT THE EMPLOYEE PAYS OUT OF THEIR CHECK. AND THEN SAME THING FOR EMPLOYEE CHILDREN IS THAT DIFFERENCE COMES OUT. SO THEY DON'T. SO IT'S ALWAYS IT'S ALWAYS FREE FOR THE EMPLOYEE FOR THEMSELVES.
REGARDLESS OF THE INCREASE, THE 6.6% INCREASE. BUT THEY WILL SEE INCREASE IN THEIR RATES FOR IF THEY'RE DOING EMPLOYEE CHILDREN OR EMPLOYEE SPOUSE. AND SO THAT RATE WILL THEY WILL SEE THAT BUT IT'LL BE DECREASED. AND ALSO THE INCREASE OTHER EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTION. SO MAYBE IT EVENS OUT. NO IT DOESN'T. IT'S STILL GOING TO BE INCREASED BUT IT MAY NOT BE AS MUCH.
DOUBTS QUESTIONS. SO FOR TONIGHT AND WE'RE DOING. WE'RE ASKING FOR THE LANGUAGE. UNLESS I'M MISREADING IT FOR TONIGHT. WE'RE ASKING FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE PLAN. BUT WE ARE GOING TO PROBABLY NEED TO INCLUDE LANGUAGE ABOUT THE MONTH, BECAUSE THAT'S NOT IN THE RECOMMENDATION. MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBER, THE ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY. WE WILL NEED LANGUAGE ON THE MONTH BECAUSE THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT PLANS THAT ARE BEING PUT IN.
OKAY. SO FROM THIS AND JUST FOR. JUST FOR CLARIFICATION PURPOSES, IF THERE'S A COUNCIL MEMBERS, IF THERE'S A RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL, THE RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL SHOULD SAY APPROVE FOR ONE MONTH AT THE INCREASED RATE AND THEN APPROVED BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD BENEFITS PLANS AS PRESENTED BY THE INTERNATIONAL.

INCREASE PLAN FOR ONE MONTH, WHICH WOULD BE SEPTEMBER OF 2025, AND THEN SWITCH OVER TO THE BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD BENEFITS PLAN. OCTOBER 1ST OF 2025 AS PRESENTED BY HUB INTERNATIONAL FOR THE CITY OF MAYOR COUNCIL. WALLACE. GREAT JOB. WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE.
