[PUBLIC COMMENTS ]

WHITE CARD. THOSE COMMENTS WILL HAVE THREE PERSONS EACH. COMMENTS ON THE YELLOW CARD.

WE'LL BE TAKEN FROM AUDIENCE MEMBERS ON NON AGENDA AND AGENDA ITEMS COMBINED FOR THE TIME NOT TO EXCEED FIVE MINUTES TOTAL PER PERSON. AND THEN NOT TO INCLUDE, EXCEPT FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS. COMMENTS ON PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS WILL BE FOR NOT TO EXCEED TWO MINUTES. NO ACTION AND DISCUSSION MAY BE TAKEN BY COUNCIL DURING THE PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON AGENDA ITEMS. ALL RIGHT. FIRST UP, MR. ROBERT YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES. THANK YOU MR. MAYOR. MY NAME IS ROBERT BATTLE. WE HAD A CRIME HAPPEN IN AUGUST AND APPARENTLY IT'S JUST COMPLETELY GOTTEN IGNORED. AND NOW IT'S BEING COVERED UP BY THE CITY ATTORNEYS AND BY THE CITY SECRETARY. ON AUGUST 19TH, THERE WERE SOME SECURITY CAMERA FOOTAGE TAKEN OF ME AND MR. MOORE AND MISS ALVAREZ IN THE LOBBY. AND SOMEBODY SOMEHOW DOWNLOADED THAT FROM A SECURITY CAMERA SERVER AND GAVE IT TO FOX NEWS. I DID A FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST TO FIND OUT WHO DID THAT. I WANT TO KNOW WHO'S IN CHARGE OF THAT SERVER. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE PROTOCOLS ARE FOR GETTING THAT MATERIAL. AND OF COURSE, I ALSO WANT TO KNOW WHY THE POLICE COULDN'T FIGURE THIS OUT EITHER. THIS IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER POLICE COVER UP. SO SHE NOT ONLY THE CITY SECRETARY DID NOT ONLY GIVE ME THE INFORMATION, THEY ARE WITHHOLDING IT AND THEY SENT A LETTER REQUESTING THAT IT BE WITHHELD TO THE TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERALS. THIS IS WHAT OUR CITY ATTORNEYS ARE CAPABLE OF. SO JUST GOING DOWN THE LIST HERE. AND BY THE WAY, MANER COMMUNITY COALITION ON FACEBOOK HAS SOME PRETTY GOOD INFORMATION. AND BY THE WAY, MY LAWSUITS ARE GOING TO FEDERAL COURT NOW. I FILED FEDERAL RACKETEERING CASE AGAINST YOU GUYS. UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S NOT JUST MANER. THIS IS THE WAY TEXAS CORRUPTION WORKS. SO NOW WE HAVE THIS CITY COUNCIL REPORTS. JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, HOW COME YOU GUYS CAN'T PUT THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS THERE? YOU PUT TIER TWO THREE THINGS. NO DOLLAR AMOUNT. TIER FIVE THREE THINGS. NO DOLLAR AMOUNT. THAT'S YOU'RE JUST HIDING THAT JUST TO BE EVASIVE. THIS IS WHY YOU THINK POLITICS IS SUPPOSED TO DO. THEN WE HAVE THE DEPARTMENTAL REPORTS TO SPEAKING OF FINANCE, WE HAVE LIKE ABOUT 1.2 MILLION IN HOTEL TAX FUNDS. THOSE ARE FOR HERITAGE TOURISM AND LOTS OF THINGS FOR THE COMMUNITY. WHY CAN'T YOU GUYS THINK OF ANYTHING TO SPEND THEM ON? THE LAST THING YOU SPENT IT ON WAS A POORLY DONE PAINT JOB ON THE WATER TOWER. THAT'S HOW LONG IT'S BEEN SINCE YOU SPENT THE HOTEL TAX FUNDS. THAT'S JUST EMBARRASSING. THE AMOUNT OF CREATIVITY WE DON'T HAVE IN THIS CITY. OKAY, ALSO IN THERE, THE PARKS MONEY. MISS PENA HAS $10,000. OUR PARKS FUND HAS OVER $1 MILLION BY NOW. IF IT DOESN'T, I CAN'T BELIEVE. IF IT DOESN'T, SOMEONE SIPHONING IT OFF. I REMEMBER POINT BLANK WHEN SCOTT DUNLAP TOLD ME WE HAD $850,000 IN THERE, AND THE PREVIOUS FINANCE DIRECTOR HAD LIKE 85,000. SO THESE PARK FUNDS ARE JUST KIND OF DISAPPEARING AT RANDOM.

SPEAKING OF WHICH, ALSO I DID A FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE CITY HAD BEEN PAID 100 AND SOME 39,000 OR WHATEVER FROM MAYNARD CROSSING WITH NO DETAIL WHATSOEVER. THAT'S NOT INFORMATION. THE THE PLANNING PEOPLE, THEY NEED TO HAVE

[00:05:06]

THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT THING. OPPORTUNITY TO BRING OUR WHOLE CITY TOGETHER. THE CHARTER IS OUR CONSTITUTION. YOU DID IT TOTALLY IN SECRET. AND BY THE WAY, I'M GOING TO FILE ANOTHER CLASS C MISDEMEANOR AGAINST ALL OF YOU ON THAT. THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT'S GOING TO GET YOU GUYS TO LEARN HOW TO DO CITY COUNCIL MEETING. IT'S WHEN YOU START HAVING TO PAY MONEY. I'VE GOT 36 STACKED UP. HOW LONG DO YOU THINK THE THE JUDGE CABALLERO IS GOING TO COVER FOR YOU GUYS? OKAY. WE ALSO. CAROLINE MAYNOR HEIGHTS I WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY ACRES OF PARKLAND IS IN THAT. AND BY THE WAY, WHEN YOU DO A SITE MAP THAT IS SO TINY AND YOU BLOW IT UP AND YOU CAN'T READ IT, THAT IS ALSO A LIE OF OMISSION. HAVE YOU GUYS EVER HEARD OF 300 DPI? WE NEED A MAP THAT WE CAN BLOW UP AND WE CAN READ. SORRY TO YELL. THAT'S MY REMONSTRANCE. OF COURSE, YOU KNOW BY NOW DOES IT REMIND YOU OF DECOR? WHAT'S THAT REMIND YOU OF? DECOR? ADDRESS US NOT. YOU'RE REMINDING ME OF WHAT? DECORUM.

ADDRESS US. NOT THE PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE. YOU STILL HAVE 30S. CAN I HAVE THOSE FIVE SECONDS BACK? I GAVE IT TO YOU. OH. YOU DID? ARE WE EVER GOING TO GET A TIMER LIGHT HERE? YOU THINK I'D HATE TO TAKE YOUR JOB FROM YOU? OKAY, WE'RE PLANNING REPORTING COMMISSIONERS. WHY DO WE NEED INTERNS? CAN'T WE AFFORD PEOPLE THAT CAN DO A JOB? DO WE HAVE TO REALLY GO DO INTERNS? THIS IS YOU GUYS LOOKING LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING. AND BY THE WAY, THE GOLD COIN MAYOR'S PROGRAM IS THAT FOR EIGHT YEAR OLDS, TEN YEAR OLDS OR ADULTS? THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, MOVING ALONG, WE HAVE LET'S SEE, MR. BERTRAM. ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MY NAME IS BEN BERTRAM. I'M A FIVE YEAR RESIDENT OF MAINER. I'M A CERTIFIED ARBORIST, AND I SERVE AS THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR AT TREE. FOLKS, WE'RE A NONPROFIT THAT PLANTS TREES AND GIVES THEM AWAY. WE'VE BEEN WORKING IN CENTRAL TEXAS FOR OVER 35 YEARS.

WE'VE HELPED TO DISTRIBUTE OVER 100,000 TREES AND PLANT OVER A MILLION TREES. AND I'M EXCITED TO SHARE MUCH OF THIS WORK HAS BEEN DONE THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOODS PROGRAM. IT'S A PARTNERSHIP WITH TREE FOLKS IN THE CITY OF AUSTIN. WELL, RECENTLY WE PARTNERED WITH THE MAIN WITH EXCUSE ME WITH HEB ALSO, AND I'M EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE PARTNERING WITH THEM AT THEIR NEW STORE ON JANUARY 31ST. WE'RE GOING TO BE GIVING AWAY 300 TREES. SO I WANTED TO INVITE YOU ALL TO COME AND PARTICIPATE AND BRING TREES HOME. WE'VE GOING TO DISTRIBUTE A MIX OF SHADE TREES, FRUIT TREES AND FLOWERING TREES.

THESE ARE ALL FIVE GALLON SIZE, ABOUT MY HEIGHT. IT'S A GREAT FAMILY EVENT. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ENGLISH AND SPANISH MATERIALS AVAILABLE SO THAT EVERYBODY CAN BE SERVED. THIS IS GOING TO START AT 11 A.M. BUT MOST FOLKS SHOW UP EARLY BECAUSE WE GIVE OUT ALL THE TREES PRETTY QUICKLY. SO THAT'S WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SERVE ABOUT 150 HOUSEHOLDS. I'M HOPING THAT ALL THOSE CAN COME FROM OUR COMMUNITY. WE'RE GOING TO LET PARTICIPANTS KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO CHECK UP ON THE TREES, BECAUSE PLANTING IS IS JUST THE BEGINNING. SO I'M EXCITED FOR THIS EVENT. THIS IS ARE GOING TO BE OUR FIRST TIME IN MAINER AND I HOPE YOU ALL CAN JOIN. WE'VE GOT I'VE GOT SOME FLIERS TO TO CHECK OUT. THANK YOU THANK YOU. I'M SURE OUR PARKS AND TREE FOLKS ARE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. LET'S SEE. NEXT WE HAVE IT'S IRA FRELICH FRELICH FRELICH. THANK YOU. AND SO YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES OKAY. THANK YOU. EVENING. I WAS HERE LAST JULY WITH A STATEMENT FROM TRAVIS COUNTY ABOUT STANDING WITH THE CONSTITUTION AGAINST ABUSES OF POWER FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. AT THE TIME, I FELT MOST OF YOU LOOKED UNEASY OR UNSURE OF WHAT I WAS WARNING AGAINST. I HOPE THAT THE NEWS HAS MADE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE CLEAR. MASKED, UNIDENTIFIED SECRET POLICE WHO CLAIMED TO BE AGENTS OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ARE CURRENTLY VIOLATING THE CIVIL RIGHTS OF PEOPLE ALL OVER THIS

SECTION THREE, ALSO KNOWN AS AS 12420 TAILGATE PASS MANNER, TEXAS. AND WE HAVE FIRST UP MR. MR. ROBERT. DO YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES? THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. MY NAME IS ROBERT BATTLE. THIS IS A PROPERTY THAT FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON YOU GUYS DESIGNED AS TOURS NUMBER TWO A TOURS NUMBER TWO, ANY TOURS IS FOR BLIGHTED PROPERTIES THAT WOULD OTHERWISE NOT BE DEVELOPED. THIS IS NOT BLIGHTED AT ALL. THIS IS A GIVEAWAY TO PETE DWYER FROM SCOTT DUNLOP.

SCOTT DUNLOP IS STILL RUNNING OUR TOWN. SO LET'S LET ME SAY THIS I'D LIKE TO KNOW IS A PUBLIC HEARING. SO IN THEORY, YOU GUYS GIVE US SOME ANSWERS. IT SEEMS TO STOP DOING THAT.

OKAY. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU GUYS ARE THE BOARD OF TOURS. AND YOU'RE ALSO REPORT TO YOURSELVES. THAT'S A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. YOU DID THAT ON TOURS NUMBER THREE AS WELL.

IT'S JUST ANOTHER GIVEAWAY. THEY'RE TRYING TO GIVE AWAY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO PETE.

FURTHERMORE, WHAT KIND OF PERSON WOULD PUT A TIRE STORE NEXT TO A RESTAURANT? TO ME, THAT'S POOR WHITE TRASH TYPE STUFF. SO NOW PLANNING AND ZONING HAD SOME GOOD INPUT.

PARDON ME. I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A FINAL WARNING ON INAPPROPRIATE COMMENTS. I DON'T NEED YOU TO TELL ME WHAT'S IN AN INAPPROPRIATE. I'LL ASK YOU. YOU CAN GIVE ME A LIST OF APPROPRIATE COMMENTS IF YOU'D LIKE. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TALK OVER ME. YOU'RE GOING TO LISTEN TO WHAT I'M SAYING. WE'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS THAT CAN BE PERCEIVED AS DEROGATORY OR MAKE PEOPLE FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE. IN THIS PLACE. YOU CAN ADDRESS THINGS TO COUNCIL. YOU CAN SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY ABOUT ME AND MY LEADERSHIP, BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE DEROGATORY COMMENTS. AND WELL, THIS IS THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE WORD REMONSTRANCE MEANS IN THIS IS YOUR WARNING, YOU HAVE 45 SECONDS LEFT. OKAY. EVERY COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT OVER TEN ACRES. YOU GUYS CAN MAYBE REMEMBER THIS IS REQUIRED IN OUR CODES TO PUT IN A PLAZA. YOU DID A LITTLE MAP OF 290 WITH LITTLE STARS ON IT. FOUR STARS. MY MAP HAS FOUR LETTER P'S FOR PLAZAS. PETE DWYER NEEDS TO PUT IN A PLAZA. MONARCH RANCH NEEDS TO PUT IN A PLAZA. H-E-B NEEDS TO PUT IN A

[00:15:07]

WE HAVE 100 MILLION BUCKS. YOU CAN'T EVEN PUT IN A PING PONG TABLE IN, LIKE, SIX YEARS. AND YOU WANT TO TELL US HOW MUCH YOU LOVE OUR CHILDREN? WHY ARE THE PARKS ALL EMPTY? THAT'S YOUR TIME. MY STAND. MY QUESTION STANDS UNANSWERED. WHY ARE THE PARKS EMPTY? MOVING ON.

COME ON UP, SIR. MAYOR. COUNCIL. MY NAME IS MICHAEL BURRELL, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY OF MAINER. THE APPLICANT HAS ACTUALLY REQUESTED THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS ITEM REMAIN LEFT OPEN UNTIL THE FEBRUARY 4TH MEETING, AND TO ALSO PUSH THE REGULAR ITEM UNTIL THE FOURTH AS WELL. OKAY, COUNCILMEMBERS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE INFORMATION ON ITEM NUMBER ONE? THIS ITEM DOES NOT IMPACT THE TOURS. THIS IS ABOUT A SPECIAL USE PERMIT. SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT CLARIFICATION IS THERE.

THE PUBLIC HEARING IS ABOUT A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, NOT THE TOURS. THE TOURISTS WAS ALREADY APPROVED AND PASSED IN THE PAST. TOURS ONE, TWO AND THREE WAS PASSED PRIOR TO NOW. SO THIS IS ACTUALLY ABOUT A SPECIAL USE PERMIT. THERE'S NO OTHER DISCUSSION ON THE TABLE. THEN ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO KEEP THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN. MAYOR COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE KEEP THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ITEM NUMBER ONE, OPEN UNTIL FEBRUARY 4TH, 2026.

[00:20:02]

IF YOU WANT IT BEFORE THE COUNCIL MEETING, I CAN SEE IF WE CAN DO THE 18TH, WHICH AGAIN WOULD GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THE QUARTER AND THEN BE ABLE TO GET THE BUDGET ITEMS TO REQUEST IT. 18TH OF FEBRUARY? YES, SIR. AROUND OR BEFORE THAT. IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? YEAH, I DIDN'T KNOW. I MEAN, WITHOUT HAVING A SPECIAL WORKSHOP ALONE, IF YOU WANTED TO KEEP IT ON A REGULAR SCHEDULE, WE COULD EITHER SHOOT FOR THE FOURTH OR WE CAN SHOOT FOR THE 18TH. BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE AT 18TH WE GIVE US ANOTHER MONTHLY REPORT, WHICH WE COULD DO AS WELL. THAT'S FOR THE COUNCIL. COUNCILWOMAN HILL, EXCUSE ME. OKAY, WE CAN WE JUST MAKE SURE WE HAVE AN ITEM FOR THE JUST THAT BUDGET PIECE FOR, FOR THE 18TH. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

ANY ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE REPORT? YES, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

MICHAEL. JUST WONDERING HOW THE COORDINATION WORKING BETWEEN ESD 12 AND AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICE ON COMMERCIAL PROJECTS. HOLD ON SIR, THIS IS NOT A SPACE FOR WALKING AROUND. I SAY THIS IS NOT A SPACE FOR WALKING AROUND. OKAY, OKAY. AND CAN WE MAKE SURE YOU TAKE CARE OF THAT AT THE BEGINNING SO WE DON'T HAVE DISRUPTIONS. TAKE CARE OF THAT IN THE BEGINNING SO WE DON'T HAVE DISRUPTIONS. I'M SORRY. GO AHEAD. MR. COUNCILMAN MORENO. YEAH. SO JUST TO REITERATE MY QUESTION, I'M JUST WONDERING THE COORDINATION. HOW IS THAT WORKING BETWEEN YOU GUYS, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND ESD 12 ON COMMERCIAL PROJECTS? AND IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU KNOW, COUNCIL NEEDS TO KNOW THE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN OURSELVES AND ESD HAS BEEN PRETTY SOLID, VERY OPEN IN TERMS OF THAT LINE OF COMMUNICATION. WE HAVE CHALLENGES, OF COURSE, WITH ANY DEVELOPMENT WHERE CERTAIN THINGS MAY BE DONE OUT OF ORDER OR DONE WITHOUT PERMISSION, SO TO SPEAK. BUT THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY ON ANYONE'S FAULT. IT'S JUST THINGS FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS AND WE WORK PRETTY SWIFTLY TO TRY TO GET THEM CORRECTED. BUT ALL IN ALL, THE RELATIONSHIP IS VERY SOLID. WE ARE CURRENTLY IN COMMUNICATION WITH THEM ABOUT UPDATING OUR FIRE CODE, AS WELL AS OUR BUILDING CODES TO 2021, I'M NOT MISTAKEN. DID WE EVER? I'M SORRY, DID WE EVER GET FEEDBACK REGARDING. I THINK ONE OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS ASKED THE QUESTION IN REGARDS TO THE BUSINESSES. WHEN WE DONE A LOT OF GRAND OPENINGS AND, YOU KNOW, REFERRING BACK TO US SAYING THAT EVERYTHING WENT WELL EXCEPT FOR THAT, THAT PROCESS WITH THE FIRE CODE. SO HAVE WE EVER GOTTEN FEEDBACK OR SOLICITED FEEDBACK ON WHAT THOSE DELAYS WERE, SO THAT WE CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT'S TRANSPIRED? NO, SIR. WELL, NOT THAT I'VE DIRECTLY GOTTEN FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IN TERMS OF WHAT THE DELAYS WERE. MOST OF WHAT OUR DEPARTMENT IS SEEING IS WHEN IT COMES TO, SAY, YOUR ALARMS, GETTING YOUR ALARM PERMITS, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S NOT TYPICALLY ON THE FOREFRONT OF PEOPLE'S MINDS.

AND THAT CAN DELAY YOU IN CASE YOU'RE GETTING READY TO OPEN. AND IT'S LIKE, OH, I NEED A FIRE ALARM PERMIT OR YOUR SPRINKLERS, YOUR FIRE FLOW NOT NECESSARILY BEING WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE DURING CERTAIN TIMES OF DAY. IF YOU RUN A TEST, BUT. HAVEN'T HAD TOO MUCH COMMUNICATION ON THAT, AND WE CAN CERTAINLY MAKE IT A PRIORITY. YEAH, WE CAN GO THROUGH THE 25, 20, 25 OPENINGS AND GET THAT FEEDBACK FROM THOSE BUSINESSES BECAUSE IT WAS

[00:25:03]

AND SO WE CAN GET THEIR ACTUAL COMMENTS ABOUT WHAT WHAT WAS, WHAT TOOK PLACE AND WHAT TRANSPIRED, AND THEN SEE IF IT IS SOMETHING PROCEDURAL THAT WE NEED TO PUT TIME AND ATTENTION TO OR MAKE PEOPLE AWARE OF EARLIER IN THEIR PERMITTING PROCESS. LIKE I SAID, IF IT'S A IF IT'S A FIRE FLOW THING AND THEN AND OR, OR WHATEVER THEY CAN, WATER PRESSURE IS LOW AT CERTAIN TIMES AND THAT PERSON IS IN. BUT THE CHECK TIME IS ALWAYS AT THAT SAME TIME OF THE DAY. THEN, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO HAVE THOSE KIND OF CONVERSATIONS WITH WHOEVER'S CHECKING, YOU KNOW, JUST TO LOOK FOR PATTERNS AND TRENDS SO THAT WE CAN IMPROVE THAT PROCESS. BECAUSE FOR THE MOST PART, WE ALWAYS HAVE VERY, VERY FAVORABLE FEEDBACK. AND SO THIS TENDS TO BE OUR ONLY AREA OF SNAG. AND IT'S BEEN OUR ONLY AREA SNAG FOR A FEW YEARS. AND SO JUST WANT TO SEE HOW WE CAN GET AHEAD OF THAT. YES, SIR. WE'LL MAKE IT A PRIORITY TO HAVE THAT MEETING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. YEAH. I CANNOT GO TO JUST TO WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING WITH ESD ON ON ANOTHER FRONT WITH THE NEW STATION OPENING IS SUGGESTING TO PUT SOMETHING IN THEIR REPORT TO REFLECT DELAYS OR ANYTHING THAT'S REFLECTIVE OF BACK AND FORTH, BECAUSE I DID TELL THEM AFTER THE TJ MAXX OPENINGS THAT THERE WAS SOME COMMENTS AND THEY'RE WILLING TO MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THEIR REPORT TO REFLECT ANY BACK AND FORTH LIKE THAT. SO THAT WAY IT'S REFLECTIVE IN THEIR REPORTING THAT THERE IS SOME SECONDARY FOLLOW UP, NOT TO OUR DOING, BUT JUST TO THE THE DEVELOPER. SOMETIMES IF THEY DO THINGS IN NOT ACCORDING TO PLAN, THAT'S WHEN THERE'S A SNAG. AND WE'RE HOPING TO GET THEM ALL TO UNDERSTAND THAT. HERE'S THE CHECKLIST. AND IF THEY FOLLOW THE CHECKLIST, IT SHOULD BE GOOD. BUT IF NOT, THAT'S WHEN A LOT OF THE COMMENTS COME IN. AND THAT'S WHAT WE GET AT THE OPENINGS, IS JUST THE STORE MANAGER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE PROJECT MANAGER KNOWS. AND SO THAT'S WHERE IT'S SEEM LIKE THE STORE MANAGERS JUST ECHOING WHAT THE CONTRACTOR HAS SHARED WITH THEM.

SO WE CAN MAKE SURE ON OUR PART THAT WE AND AGAIN, WE HAD EXTENDED THE INVITATION FOR THE FIRE CHIEF TO BE HERE. SO AT THE NEXT MEETING, WE'LL MAKE SURE HE'S HERE AT THE FEBRUARY 18TH MEETING TO TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THAT AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING IN THEIR REPORTING TO TO BE REFLECTIVE OF ANY CONCERNS THAT WE KNOW SHOULDN'T BE, BUT THAT WE CAN KNOW THAT THEY'RE WORKING ON IT. AND IT'S NOT JUST US GOING TO AN OPENING AND FACE SOMETHING THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW WASN'T AWARE OF. YES, SIR. YEAH. AND IF, IF, IF THEY'RE NOT, IF, YOU KNOW, THE SCHEDULING IS CONFLICTS BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THEY'RE OUT SAVING THE WORLD, THEY CAN AT LEAST PROVIDE A, PROVIDE THE CONTEXT TO YOU ALL SO THAT YOU ALL HAVE IT IN SOME TYPE OF KIND OF LIKE NOTES SECTION. THAT WAY YOU CAN SPEAK ON SOME CHANGES, BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME ADDITIONS THAT ARE NEW INTO THE REPORT THAT I NOTICED, AND IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN GOOD TO JUST KIND OF HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF NOTES ON, ON KIND OF WHAT THOSE PIECES MEANT. AND BECAUSE IT MAY BE THAT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS HERE, BUT IT'S JUST NOT LABELED OR EXPLAINED IN, IN LAYMAN'S TERMS. AND SO BECAUSE THERE'S A REVIEW TURNAROUND SECTION, BUT IT DOESN'T REALLY SAY WHAT REVIEW TURNAROUND IS, IS THAT, YOU KNOW, BETWEEN THE AC 12 AND THE VENDOR, WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT BUILDING DEVELOPMENT MEETINGS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, IS IT SPECIFIC TO THE THE CLAIMS THAT PEOPLE ARE MAKING, OR IS THIS ACTUALLY CONNECTED TO SOMETHING ELSE? SO JUST A LITTLE CONTEXT ON THAT WOULD HELP AND MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE CLOSING THOSE THOSE LOOPS. YES, SIR. ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THAT REPORT. COULD I, COULD WE HAVE MATT. FOR TIME. WHICH ONE. WHICH ONE. PARKS OKAY. GOOD EVENING MAYOR COUNCIL OKAY. I'D LIKE TO JUST KIND OF SETTLE SOMETHING RIGHT NOW. OUR PING PONG TABLES STILL ON BACK ORDER. THEY ACTUALLY ARE DELIVERED. THEY'RE ACTUALLY DELIVERED. OKAY, WHICH PARKS ARE THEY GOING IN? TIMMERMAN. OKAY. AND WE WERE LOOKING AT THE MINOR ARTS PARK, BUT I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE LIMITED IN SPACE, BUT DEFINITELY TIMMERMAN PARK.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CONSTRUCT A CONCRETE PAD FOR IT AND GET THAT GOING. OKAY. AND WHAT IS WHAT IS GOING IN TIMMERMAN PARK NOT TIMMERMAN PARK. THE. WELL, YEAH. THAT QUESTION AND ALSO WHAT IS ACTUALLY GOING INTO THE ART PARK THAT WOULD MAKE THAT SPACE LIMITED. WE'VE GOT A DATE NOW THAT WHERE WE CAN GO GET THE. THE BRIDGE ARTWORK. YES, MA'AM.

THANK YOU. AND WHAT ALL IS GOING IN TIMMERMAN PARK. WE'RE ALSO GOING TO GET WE HAVE ALSO CORNHOLE STUFF THAT WE'RE GETTING AND WE'RE GOING TO IT'S GOING TO BE MORE OF A PERMANENT

[00:30:05]

[6.Consideration, discussion, and possible action on a Professional Services Agreement with Lexipol, LLC for a public safety platform to aid in policy making and implementation, training, use of force and pursuit reporting, and internal investigations.]

POSSIBLE ACTION ON A PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH LEXAPROO, LLC FOR PUBLIC SAFETY PLATFORM TO AID IN POLICY MAKING AND IMPLEMENTATION, TRAINING AND USE OF FORCE FOR PURSUIT REPORTING AND INTERNAL INVESTIGATIONS. YES, SIR. YES, SIR. I GUESS, YOU KNOW, JUST FOR SINCE IT'S PUBLIC SAFETY, YOU KNOW, IN TRANSPARENCY. I WAS JUST WONDERING IF YOU COULD, YOU KNOW, JUST ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT ON WHAT THIS ITEM IS.

SURE. SO WE CURRENTLY USE A PROGRAM CALLED SMART FORCE THAT HELPS US MANAGE OUR POLICIES.

OUR POLICIES ARE ARE ADOPTED THROUGH TEXAS BEST PRACTICES. AND WE WERE HAVING A HARD TIME MONTH TO MONTH. WE REVIEW POLICIES. THEY EACH HAVE AN EXPIRATION DATE AND THEY REVIEW DATE AND AND AND THAT SYSTEM DOESN'T PLUG DIRECTLY INTO THE TEXAS BEST PRACTICES THROUGH TEXAS POLICE CHIEFS ASSOCIATION. THIS SYSTEM PLUGS AUTOMATICALLY IN AND THEREFORE ANY UPDATES OR CHANGES IN BEST PRACTICES POLICIES IS THEN AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE IN OUR SYSTEM PUSHED OUT TO OUR OFFICERS, AND IT IS THEN FORCES THEM TO READ AND ACKNOWLEDGE IN SOME TEST THE THE CHANGES IN THE POLICY TO THE OFFICERS TO SHOW THAT THEY DID READ IT, AND THEN WE ARE ABLE TO MAINTAIN THAT IN THE EVENT OF A LAWSUIT, WE PULL THAT AND SHOW THAT THE OFFICER WAS TRAINED ON THAT SPECIFIC POLICY. THAT'S JUST ONE OF THE MAIN ASPECTS THAT WHY WE WENT INTO LOOKING AT CHANGING THE SOFTWARE THAT WE CURRENTLY USE. THIS IS ALSO GOING TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR US. OUR INTERNAL INVESTIGATIONS, OUR REVIEWS OF PURSUITS AND OUR REVIEWS OF USE OF FORCE. ANYTIME AN OFFICER USE OF FORCE USE USES FORCE OR GETS INTO A PURSUIT, IT AUTOMATICALLY GENERATES SPECIAL REPORTS WHERE IT'S REVIEWED AND ENSURED THAT IS WITHIN THE POLICY OF THE DEPARTMENT. AND THEN IF IT'S NOT AS A DICTATE TRAINING, DOES IT DICTATE DISCIPLINE AND AND SO ON. CURRENTLY WE DO THOSE THROUGH THROUGH PAPER, PAPER FOLDERS.

AND SO THIS WILL ALLOW US TO INPUT IT INTO THE SYSTEM THAT THAT CAN REFERENCE AND AUTOMATICALLY LOOK UP OUR POLICIES AND PROCEDURES THAT WHEN THOSE THINGS ARE REVIEWED, IT WILL ALSO TAKE KEY THINGS OUT OF THOSE REVIEWS AND FLAG WHEN WE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO AN OFFICER THAT MAY HAVE USED FORCE TOO MANY TIMES. RIGHT. AND THAT IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO BE PAYING ATTENTION TO, OR IS THAT JUST THE CIRCUMSTANCE OF WHAT THE OFFICER IS ASSIGNED TO? SO IT IS GOING TO PROVIDE US A LOT OF TECHNOLOGY ON STUFF THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY USING PAPER, PAPER FILES FOR. OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT LEXICAL PRONOUNCING. RIGHT. LEXAPRO, LEXAPRO. YEAH. I WISH THEY WERE HERE TO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS BECAUSE I HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF CONCERN I KIND OF ALWAYS HAD ABOUT THE ROLE OF PRIVATE COMPANIES IN SHAPING PUBLIC SAFETY POLICY. THEY THEY DON'T SHAPE THE POLICY. SO WHEN WE WE ADOPT POLICY THROUGH THROUGH TEXAS POLICE CHIEFS BEST PRACTICES. AND SO WHEN THAT POLICY COMES TO US, WE REVIEW IT. AND AND THEY GIVE INDICATIONS ON HOW THINGS SHOULD READ. SO WHEN WE ADOPTED AND IT'S PUT INTO THIS SYSTEM OR WHATEVER SYSTEM, WE'RE USING, THIS SYSTEM IN PARTICULAR WHEN THAT WHEN SOMETHING IS CHANGED IN A POLICY THAT WE HAVE ADOPTED, THEN WE WILL GET NOTIFICATION. AND WHETHER WE ADOPT IT OR NOT, IT WILL THEN BE PUSHED OUT TO THE OFFICERS. SO THIS COMPANY DOESN'T REALLY FORMULATE THE POLICY FOR US. IT

[00:35:01]

SO IF A KEY WORDS ARE MATCHED, THEN IT WILL SEND UP FLAGS FOR US TO REVIEW. AND SO. THAT'S ALL IT DOES. IT DOESN'T FORMULATE THE POLICY FOR US THOUGH. OKAY. DID YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEY HAD A DATA BREACH IN 2025? I MEAN, THAT'S ALWAYS CONCERNING, BUT DATA BREACHES ARE, YOU KNOW, PRETTY COMMON. AND SO I THINK THAT WHAT YOU SHOULD WHAT WE SHOULD LOOK AT IS, IS HOW DID THEY RESPOND TO THAT DATA BREACH AND WHAT WAS WHAT WAS THEIR ACTIONS TO THAT? THIS THIS COMPANY IS WIDELY USED IN LAW ENFORCEMENT ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AND SO I THINK THAT THEY HAVE AN EXCELLENT REPUTATION. AND AND, YOU KNOW, WE COMPARED MULTIPLE, MULTIPLE COMPANIES AND ONE THAT WE'RE, WE'RE REALLY CLOSE WITH AND CAME IN NUMBER TWO. BUT THAT WE, WE LIKE OTHER PRODUCTS OF THEIRS. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY THIS ONE JUST OFFERED MUCH BETTER PRODUCTS FOR WHAT WE'RE NEEDING. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. OH, I DID HAVE ONE OTHER THING. DO THEY HAVE IN ANY OF THIS POLICY OR ANY OTHER THINGS? DO THEY WILL THEY BE ABLE TO HELP YOU GUYS OR PROVIDE INFORMATION ON GRANTS THAT WOULD HELP FIND FUNDING TO HELP WITH POLICY IMPLEMENTATION FOR IMPLEMENTATION? SORRY, AND RISK MANAGEMENT. I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT UP. IT DOES HAVE IN IT A A TOOL THAT ALLOWS US TO IDENTIFY GRANTS AVAILABLE FOR NOT ONLY PUBLIC SAFETY BUT FOR COMMUNITIES AS A WHOLE. SO IF IT'S SOMETHING EVEN THE CITY NEEDS ON THE CITY SIDE, THIS PROGRAM WILL HELP US IDENTIFY GRANTS. SO YES. THANK YOU. THAT'S THE LAST ONE, I PROMISE. WHAT WERE THE OTHER? SOFTWARE COMPANIES THAT WERE IN THE RUNNING? SO WE REVIEWED THE CHANGES WITH THE CURRENT COMPANY THAT WE WERE WITH, WHICH WAS SMART FORCE AND THEN VERSA TERM. THERE WAS ONE VERSE TERM CALLED I PRO AND BLUE TEAMS, AND IT ONLY WAS SPECIFIC TO INTERNAL AFFAIRS INVESTIGATIONS AND AND COMPLAINTS AND SUCH. IT IS NOT DUE TO THE POLICIES AND THE THE ONE WHERE IT CHOSE TO GO WITH HAS A LOT MORE OPTIONS. AND THE OTHER ONE IS PROBABLY TWICE THE PRICE OF OF THE OPTION WE'RE CHOOSING TO GO WITH. YEAH. SO YOU ALSO LEANED INTO THIS ONE BECAUSE OF THE INTEGRATION. YOU LEAN MORE INTO THIS ONE BECAUSE THE INTEGRATION WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS VERSUS THE BITS AND PIECES SOME OF THOSE SOFTWARE PROGRAMS PROVIDE, THEY DON'T HAVE THE FULL GAMUT. YES, SIR. YEAH. THE THE IMPLEMENTATION AND THE ABILITY FOR US TO ADOPT POLICY CHANGE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM BEST PRACTICES IS IS REALLY BIG ON ON US ENSURING THAT WE HAVE UP TO DATE POLICIES ON CHANGES IN LAW AND CHANGES IN, IN LAW ENFORCEMENT AS A WHOLE. SO I THINK THAT THIS OUTWEIGHED THE OTHER OPTIONS GREATLY. YEAH. SO YOU'RE FAR AWAY BECAUSE I, I'M SURE THE CHIEFS ASSOCIATION MAKES MEETS TO UPDATE POLICY BASED OFF OF THE CHANGES IN THE LEGISLATOR. AND SO IT GIVES FOR A UNIVERSAL WAY TO TO HAVE THOSE POLICY CHANGES IN A SUCCINCT WAY. SO I'M FAMILIAR WITH OTHER ASSOCIATIONS THAT USE THAT KIND OF FORMAT. YEAH. ONE SO THAT YOU HAVE EVERYONE HAS THE SAME THING. AND THEN BUT THE DELIVERY OF IT IS IS KEY IMPORTANT AND THEN THE ACCOUNTABILITY AND THEN THE MEASURING AGAINST THE REPORTS. I THINK THAT'S THE UNIQUENESS OF IT IS THAT ALLOWS YOU TO LOOK AT WHAT'S BEING DONE AND THEN HAVE THAT LENS ON TOP OF IT. SO YEAH, FOR SURE, FOR SURE.

OTHER QUESTIONS. COUNCIL MEMBERS. NONE. I'LL TAKE A MOTION FOR ITEM NUMBER SIX.

MAYOR COUNCIL. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ACCEPT CONSENT AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SIX MOTION BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN WHERE? ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION BEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU SIR.

[7.Consideration, discussion, and possible action on proposed City Charter Amendments. ]

[00:40:07]

SO EVERY FIFTH YEAR. SO PER CITY CHARTER THE COUNCIL IS WELL THEY REVIEW THE THEY SHALL REVIEW WHICH WAS AMENDED BACK IN 20 I CAN'T REMEMBER 2022 WHERE COUNCIL ACTUALLY REVIEWS THE CHARTER EVERY TWO YEARS, EVERY FIFTH YEAR PER LAW AND PER CHARTER. THE COUNCIL APPOINTS A COMMISSION. THEN THEIR TASK ON THE SUMMARY FORM. I PRETTY MUCH EXPLAINED IT, BUT I'LL EXPLAIN IT FOR THE PUBLIC AND THE AUDIENCE. IT'S AN ADVISORY BOARD. AN ADVISORY BOARD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EVALUATING AND RECOMMENDING UPDATES OR AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY'S CHARTER. THE COMMISSION DUTIES INCLUDE REVIEWING THE CURRENT GOVERNING DOCUMENT, ANALYZING LEGAL AND PROCEDURAL ASPECTS, AND PROPOSING CHANGES TO ENHANCE GOVERNANCE, GOVERNANCE, EFFICIENCY, TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY. AND THEN THEIR WORK ENSURES THAT THE CITY'S CONSTITUTION ALIGNS WITH THE CURRENT NEEDS, LAWS AND BEST PRACTICES SUPPORTING THE CITY'S ONGOING DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS. NORMALLY, WE MEET WITH THE WE MEET WITH THE COMMISSION. THEY'RE SCHEDULED IN THE EVENINGS. YOU KNOW, IT'S THEY'RE NORMALLY ABOUT 630. THEY'VE LASTED WITHIN AN HOUR OR TWO, SOMETIMES THREE HOURS.

AND WE BREAK DOWN THE CHARTER. THEY GO INTO CONVERSATIONS AND JUST TO EXPLAIN THIS IS THE COMMISSION IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, TO ALL RESIDENTS OF MAYNOR. SO WE DO HAVE A PROCESS WHERE WE REACH OUT TO THE PUBLIC AND WHOEVER IS INTERESTED, WE ACCEPT APPLICATIONS ALL YEAR WHEN IT WHEN IT COMES UP FOR THE FIVE YEAR APPOINTMENTS, THEN WE SELECT OR ALSO COUNCIL HAS THE AUTHORITY TO NOMINATE RESIDENTS. SO IN THIS CASE. SO THAT'S THE PROCESS FOR THIS YEAR. OUR LAST CHARTER REVIEW WAS DONE BACK IN 2020. SO NOW HERE WE ARE THE SECOND. AND LIKE I SAID TONIGHT THEY'RE HERE TO PRESENT THEIR AMENDMENTS. I'M NOT SURE I THINK THAT'S A LEGAL QUESTION REGARDING IF THEY CONTINUE OR NOT. IT WAS THEY WERE APPOINTED FOR SIX MONTHS, WHICH COME ON, OKAY. SHE CAN REFER TO THE TERMS AND I'LL LET YOU SPEAK.

GO AHEAD. MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS VERONICA RIVERA, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY, TO FURTHER PROVIDE YOU INFORMATION. NOW THAT THE. THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE, CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE HAS FINISHED THEIR WORK, THEY'RE GOING TO PROVIDE YOUR PRESENTATION. THERE IS NO ACTION TONIGHT. IT IS JUST THE PRESENTATION. THAT IS WHAT CITY STAFF IS RECOMMENDING SO THAT CITY COUNCIL CAN HAVE THE TIME, WHICH YOU DO HAVE, BECAUSE ANY AMENDMENTS WOULD GO UP FOR THE BALLOT IN NOVEMBER AND YOU WOULD BE CALLING THAT ELECTION WITH ANY AMENDMENTS IN AUGUST.

WE DO NOT HAVE A CALENDAR YET. I CHECKED WITH CITY SECRETARY AND THERE IS NO CALENDAR YET ON

[00:45:07]

YES, THEY'RE IN THE CHARTER. IT SAYS THAT THEY ARE APPOINTED FOR SIX MONTHS, BUT THAT IS NOT AN ISSUE WE CAN RATIFY FOR THEM TO CONTINUE IF YOU'D LIKE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, IT THE CHARTER IS SILENT ON THEM COMING BACK AS WELL. SO AGAIN WE CAN RATIFY IF YOU'D LIKE FOR THEM TO CONTINUE. BUT THEY COULD COME BACK IF YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. DOES THAT HELP YOU WITH YOUR QUESTION OR ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? YES, I THINK SO. I, I GUESS IT'S FOR THE FOR THE SAKE OF KNOWING THE WE DID RECEIVE THE INFORMATION AND ALL THE THE EDITS THAT WERE SUGGESTED AND THINGS LIKE THAT. AND SO I GUESS WHERE I WAS CONCERNED WAS THE INFORMATION THAT WAS BROUGHT. BUT THEN WITHOUT IS IT COUNCIL BRINGING SEPARATE INFORMATION AS WELL.

AND THEN IT'S COMBINED. SO DO WE PRESENT BACK TO THE CHARTER COMMITTEE SO THAT THEY CAN UNDERSTAND OUR SIDE BEFORE IT GOES TO BALLOT. OR SO YOU CAN. IT IS UP TO CITY COUNCIL ON HOW YOU WOULD LIKE TO, HOW YOU WOULD LIKE TO PROCEED. BECAUSE YES, YOU I MEAN THIS IS FIRST BLUSH, RIGHT? SO YOU HAVEN'T HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT IT. AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS THAT YES, YOU WILL HAVE TIME TO LOOK AT IT, DIGEST IT. IF YOU HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, YOU CAN DEFINITELY ASK THE COMMITTEE, OR YOU CAN ASK THE CITY SECRETARY OR THE ATTORNEY FROM OUR FIRM THAT WAS THAT ACTUALLY PARTICIPATED IN THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE MEETINGS WAS BARBARA BULWER WELLS. AND SHE WAS AT EVERY MEETING. SHE UNFORTUNATELY WAS NOT ABLE TO ATTEND TONIGHT. BUT SHE CAN ALSO PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON HOW THEY CAME TO THE CONCLUSIONS THAT THEY DID OR THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THEY DID.

BUT YES, AGAIN, THESE THIS IS WHAT IS BEING PROVIDED TO THE CITY COUNCIL. AND THEN Y'ALL WILL DIGEST IT AND DECIDE IF YOU WANT TO MAKE SOME ADDITIONAL REVISIONS TO IT OR SOME ADDITIONS AS WELL YOURSELVES, TO HAVE THEM ON THE BALLOT. AND THEN WE WOULD BRING THIS BACK TO YOU AT ANOTHER DATE THAT AGAIN, WE WE WE WILL TAKE THE LEAD FROM Y'ALL ON WHEN YOU WANT THEM. THE ONLY THING IS THAT I JUST WANTED TO REMIND YOU ALL THAT THERE IS A DEADLINE THOUGH, AND WE'RE WAITING FOR THAT FROM THE TEXAS SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE AUGUST DEADLINE. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? YES. SORRY. OKAY. WELL, I GUESS OKAY. MY CONCERN. OH GO AHEAD. OKAY. SO MY MY CONCERN IS WHERE DOES THE FINAL DRAFT OR IS THAT LEGAL ONLY OR IS THAT IT'S US? NO, IT'S JUST US WITH WORDING AND EVERYTHING. YEAH. WE WE TAKE THE, THE INFORMATION THAT COMES FROM THE CHARTER. WE SIT DOWN, WE GO THROUGH THE CHARTER AND IN ADDITION TO THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS AND COME UP WITH A FINAL LIST. AND THAT HAPPENS HERE AT COUNCIL, THE FINAL LIST AFTER WE GO THROUGH AS WELL. AND THAT'S THE LIST THAT WE TAKE IN AUGUST TO THE VOTERS TO REVIEW. SO THE LIST THAT THE THAT IS BEING PROVIDED TONIGHT AND THAT'S BEING PRESENTED BY YOUR ADVISORY COMMITTEE THAT YOU WILL AGAIN DIGEST AND MAKE SURE AND DETERMINE WHETHER YOU WANT TO MAKE ANY EDITS. AND THEN YOU WOULD VOTE ON ANY EDITS OR NOT MOVING FORWARD WITH ANY OF THE AMENDMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN PROVIDED TO YOU AND ANY ADDITIONS. SO IT IS IT RESTS WITH YOU AT THE END, LIKE THE MAYOR SAID. YEAH, SAME AS WHAT WE DID FIVE YEARS AGO. WE, LIKE I SAY WE BUILD FROM HERE AND THEN AND, AND ADD ALL OF THE DIFFERENT ITEMS AND THEN AT SOME POINT IN TIME AND WE MAKE IT, WE HAVE TO AGREE ON THE FINAL ITEMS THAT THAT GOES BEFORE FORWARD VOTE, THAT GOES

[00:50:06]

BUT I THINK I THINK IT WAS CITY SECRETARY WAS SAYING WE CAN STILL HAVE THE THE CONVERSATIONS AT ANY POINT IN TIME IF WE NEED TO GO BACK AND REVISIT THEM. SO WE'LL BE DOING A LITTLE BIT BACKWARDS FROM WHAT WE DID BEFORE. BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, WE DID START WITH THAT DIRECTION AND BEGINNING I THINK EVEN. YEAH, IT WAS IT WAS IT WAS DIFFERENT HOW IT STARTED LAST YEAR. SO NOT ACTUALLY FIVE YEARS AGO. YEAH. SO THERE'S THERE'S NO PROCEDURE, BUT THERE'S NOTHING TO KEEP YOU FROM HAVING A WORKSHOP WITH YOUR ADVISORY COMMITTEE OR JUST THE CITY COUNCIL TO CONTINUE. AND I THINK CITY SECRETARY IS GOING TO HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. YES. JUST TO CLARIFY, FROM 2020. SO THE CHARTER COMMISSION AT THAT TIME WAS APPOINTED LIKE IN JANUARY. SO THEY HAD THEIR SIX MONTHS. IT GOT REALLY CLOSE FOR THE ELECTION. THERE WAS A DEADLINE TO MEET SEVEN. SO COUNCIL DID MEET, BUT IT WAS AT A REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING AND YOU GUYS DID WELL THE PREVIOUS AT THAT TIME THE COUNCIL DID DIALOG WITH THE CHARTER REVIEW AND THEY WENT BACK AND FORTH, BUT IT WAS DONE IN AN IN A REGULAR MEETING, NOT A WORKSHOP. BUT THIS YEAR, BEING THAT WE HAD TO, IT'S DIFFERENT BECAUSE WE ACTUALLY HAVE MORE TIME. SO THE COMMISSION HAD TO BE APPOINTED IN 2025. THEY HAVE THEIR SIX MONTHS, AND IT STILL GIVES ROOM FOR COUNCIL TO HAVE A WORKSHOP. AND DO YOU KNOW, I JUST EVERYTHING THERE, THEY DID WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO. IT'S YOU KNOW THEY'RE PRESENTING NOW.

IT'S TOTALLY UP TO YOU WHETHER YOU WANT TO HAVE WHICH IS I DO RECOMMEND TO HAVE A WORKSHOP AMONG YOURSELVES, BUT IT'S TOTALLY UP TO YOU AS WELL IF YOU WANT TO INVITE THE COMMISSION OR NOT. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MY NAME IS DANIEL MENDOZA. I AM THE CHAIR OF THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION. YOU'LL GET TO HEAR FROM A FEW OF US AS WE COME UP AND PRESENT OUR SLIDES. AS MISS EUBOEA SAID, WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND PRESENT THE PROPOSITIONS AND CHANGES TO MAINERS CHARTER. FOR A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT, WE BEGAN THIS IN AUGUST. WE HAVE MET SEVEN TIMES, AND EACH OF THOSE TIMES WE WENT AHEAD AND REVIEWED EVERY SINGLE SECTION, EVERY SINGLE ARTICLE. AND IT WAS ESSENTIALLY OUR GOAL TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE KEEPING UP WITH MAINERS GROWTH, AND WE'RE KEEPING UP WITH THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES AND HAVING SIMILAR POLICIES AND SO ON. THAT IS WHY WE ARE HERE TODAY TO PROPOSE THESE CHANGES. WE THINK THAT THE ANALYSIS THAT WE'VE DONE OF THOSE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES, JUST THE ANALYSIS OF OTHER CHARTERS OR JUST IN GENERAL KEEPING UP WITH GROWTH WITH STATE LAW, WE'VE LOOKED AT ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT ASPECTS, AND THAT'S WHY WE'VE COME TO THESE CONCLUSIONS. THEY HONESTLY REQUIRED A GOOD AMOUNT OF DISCUSSION. WE WERE HERE SEVERAL HOURS. THERE WERE DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEWS, SOME ON ONE SIDE, SOME ON THE OTHER.

WE HAD TO COME TO COMPROMISES. AND ONCE AGAIN, I HOPE THAT YOU, COUNCIL, MAYOR COMMUNITY, I HOPE YOU BELIEVE US THAT THIS WAS TAKEN VERY SERIOUSLY. AND THIS IS THE SUMMARY OF OUR EFFORTS. SO I WOULD OH, I HAVE IT RIGHT HERE. AWESOME. OKAY, SO I GUESS WE CAN JUMP RIGHT INTO THIS. WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND DISCUSS THE FIRST PROPOSITION, WHICH IS A.

SPECIFICALLY THIS ONE WAS MORE OF LIKE A PROOF READING CHANGE. IT WAS A LONG PARAGRAPH WITH BASICALLY A VERY LONG RUN ON SENTENCE. AND WE'VE RECOMMENDED FOR IT TO BE JUST CHANGED TO BULLET POINTS, JUST FOR CLARITY, JUST SO IT MAKES A LITTLE MORE SENSE AND EASIER TO READ. SO THEN MOVING ON TO B, B IS ALSO JUST TO BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE LAW REGARDING ANNEXATION,

[00:55:05]

IT WAS OUR UNDERSTANDING THAT NOT TOO LONG AGO IT WAS CHANGED TO FOUR YEARS. AND THIS ONE WAS ANOTHER IDEA BROUGHT UPON BY COMPROMISE, BECAUSE THERE WERE SOME THAT BELIEVED THAT LESS WAS REQUIRED, THAT FOUR WAS OKAY. AND EVENTUALLY WE CAME TOGETHER WITH THE CONCLUSION OF HAVING THREE YEAR TERMS AND ESSENTIALLY JUST DOING THE THREE CONSECUTIVE TERM LIMITS AND THEN A ONE YEAR BREAK IN BETWEEN FOR ELIGIBILITY PURPOSES. SO THAT IS BOTH C AND D THERE BRINGING THOSE UP. I'M GOING TO MOVE ALONG NOW TO PROPOSITION. E. SO THIS ONE GOES INTO DETAIL ABOUT COMPENSATION. WE REVIEWED THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES SPECIFICALLY HUDDLE, PFLUGERVILLE BUDA ELGIN. AND WE LOOKED AT THE PAYOUTS AND WE LOOKED AT LIKE THE AMOUNT OF WORK DONE. AND IF THERE WAS ONE THING WE COMPROMISE ON MORE THAN ANYTHING, IT WAS DEFINITELY THIS ONE BECAUSE WE HAD IDEAS ON THIS SIDE AND IDEAS ON THIS SIDE, AND WE HAD TO COME TOGETHER. AND WHAT WE CAME UP WITH WAS THE REMOVAL OF THE TIER SYSTEM, REPLACED BY AN INTRODUCTION OF A FLAT RATE SPECIFICALLY FOR COUNCIL, THAT IS 500 PER MEETING, ESSENTIALLY TOTALING 1000 PER MONTH AND 600 FOR THE MAYOR, ESSENTIALLY 1200.

AND AGAIN, THAT IS PROPOSITION E. I AM GOING TO NOW PASS IT ALONG TO MY NEXT OUR NEXT COMMISSIONER OVER HERE TO. BEFORE YOU PASS, I WANTED TO GIVE YOU CONTEXT, AND I THINK THIS IS WHAT COUNCILWOMAN DAISY HILL WAS HINTING AT IN REGARDS TO THAT MEETING THAT TOOK PLACE PRIOR. IT WAS TO PROVIDE CONTEXT IN REGARDS TO IT WAS TO PROVIDE CONTEXT IN REGARDS TO WHAT TOOK PLACE PRIOR. SO YOU CAN HAVE THAT KIND OF PRIOR HISTORY AND INFORMATION IN REGARDS TO WHAT WAS ACTUALLY IN THE CHARTER BEFORE, RIGHT? WHY IT WAS REMOVED OUT, WHAT PEOPLE WERE SAYING IN THAT DURING THAT TIME PERIOD. I THINK THAT'S WHAT SHE'S SAYING AND THAT SOME OF THAT CONTEXT WOULD HAVE PROBABLY HELPED, MAYBE WITH SOME OF THAT DECISION MAKING DURING THAT PROCESS SPECIFICALLY, SPECIFICALLY CENTERED AROUND THE CONVERSATION PIECE IN REGARDS TO LANGUAGE, GOING BACK, GOING INTO THE CHARTER. AND I THINK.

SO ANYWAY, SO I THINK THAT'S WHY IS THAT KIND OF COUNCILWOMAN HILL, IS THAT KIND OF CONNECTED TO WHY YOU WERE SAYING THAT? OKAY, OKAY. ALL RIGHT. UNDERSTOOD. THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING. GOOD AFTERNOON. I MEAN, GOOD GOOD EVENING. I AM PABLO MIRAS, ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS. AND IT WAS AN HONOR TO BE A PART OF THIS PROJECT. AND IT WAS VERY EYE OPENING FOR ALL OF US. WE HAD LOTS OF DISCUSSIONS. SO WE'RE JUST GOING TO GO THROUGH SLIDES BRIEFLY. AND I WAS TASKED TO GO OVER THIS ONE HERE. SUMMARY OF CHANGES. PROPOSED ADDING RECALL INTO THE SECTION TITLE. SECTION SIX CURRENT. THE TITLE READS INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM.

RECOMMENDED PROP F CHANGE TO INITIATIVE, REFERENDUM AND RECALL. ADDING THE RECALL POWERS TO THE CHAPTER. SECTION 608 CURRENT IS NO RECALL LANGUAGE IN THE CHARTER.

RECOMMENDED PROP L CITY MANAGER MUST LIVE

[01:00:01]

JULIE. HELLO COUNCIL, I DID WANT TO MENTION BEFORE WE MOVE ON, I DEFINITELY THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD TO MEET WITH YOU GUYS TO HAVE SOME PERSPECTIVE IN ADVANCE OF MAKING DECISIONS.

SO I WOULD BE FOR THAT. LIKE THAT WOULD MAKE A LOT OF SENSE TO ME. WE WEREN'T FLYING BLIND THOUGH. WE DID HAVE UVA AND BARBARA, SO THEY WERE ABLE TO GIVE US A CONTEXT. SO WE WEREN'T JUST, YOU KNOW, SO I THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL EVEN MORE IF WE HAD HAD YOU GUYS THERE TOO. SO MAYBE IN THE FUTURE. OKAY. SO NEXT SLIDE. YOU GOT A CLICKER. OH I HAVE THE CLICKER. OH WHICH ONE IS THE CLICKER. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THE FINANCE. SO WE HAD SOME YOU KNOW THE FINANCIAL DIRECTOR DID COME TO ONE OF THE MEETINGS WHERE WE COVERED THIS SECTION TOO. SO THE CITY FINANCIAL DIRECTOR WAS THERE AND WE WORKED WITH HER TO MAKE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS. SO REALLY, YOU KNOW, THESE WERE KIND OF GUIDED BY HER. SO WANTING TO ALIGN THINGS TO THE FINANCIAL AND PURCHASING POLICY BECAUSE THEY ARE DEVELOPING FINANCIAL AND PURCHASING POLICIES. IT'S NOT MENTIONED IN THE CHARTER. SO WE WANTED TO ADD LANGUAGE PER HER DIRECTION TO BE ABLE TO ALIGN DECISIONS AROUND PURCHASING AND CONTRACTS TO ALIGN TO OUR POLICY. BECAUSE SHE'S CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTING A POLICY. SO THAT WAS NEW INDEPENDENT AUDITOR REQUIREMENTS. SO PREVIOUSLY THERE WEREN'T ANY AUDITOR RESTRICTIONS. SO YOU COULD KEEP USING THE SAME AUDITOR OVER AND OVER. WE WANTED TO ADD LANGUAGE THAT RESTRICTED THE AUDITORS TO LESS THAN FIVE CONSECUTIVE YEARS. NEXT IS THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT. SO WE'VE HAD A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, MORE ACTIVITY AND PEOPLE WANTING TO SERVE AS THE CITY HAS GROWN. AND SO WE, YOU KNOW, REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT LIKE, SHOULD WE SET TERM LIMITS? BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THERE AREN'T ANY TERM LIMITS FOR PLANNING AND ZONING. AND SO WE DID WANT TO GO AHEAD AND YOU'LL KIND OF SEE A CONSISTENT ACROSS THE BOARD. WE TRIED TO KIND OF MAKE SOME OF THESE COMMISSIONS HAVE SOME SIMILAR STRUCTURE. SO WE WANTED TO ADD A THREE CONSECUTIVE TERM LIMIT AND THEN ONE YEAR BREAK BETWEEN ELIGIBILITY AND THEN FOR PLANNING AND ZONING. WE ALSO OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE A WEALTH OF PEOPLE THAT WANT TO DO PLANNING AND ZONING. NOW, YOU KNOW, THERE'S THERE'S NEVER A SHORTAGE LIKE MAYBE WITH SOME OF THE OTHERS. SO WE WE DID WANT TO RESTRICT, YOU KNOW, KIND OF SAY, OKAY, IF YOU'RE IF YOU'RE IN A CERTAIN, YOU KNOW, LET'S SAY YOU'RE, YOU OWN OR YOU'RE DEVELOPING LAND AND MANER, MAYBE YOU CAN BE USED AS AN ADVISORY PERSON FOR PLANNING AND ZONING, BUT NOT HAVING A VOTE, RIGHT? BECAUSE THAT WE WANTED TO KIND OF KEEP PEOPLE WHO MIGHT HAVE A POTENTIAL, YOU KNOW, OR LOSS FROM A DECISION THAT WAS MADE BY PLANNING AND ZONING FROM HAVING A VOTE INTO DECISIONS THAT THEY MADE. SO THEN ALSO FOR BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS, AGAIN, THERE WAS NOT TERM LIMITS OR, OR OR THAT.

AND SO WE DID WANT TO SAY LIKE THREE YEARS IS THE TERM LIMIT OR THREE CONSECUTIVE TERMS IS THE LIMIT. AND THEN AN ADDITIONAL BREAK. AND THEN THEY CAN DO, YOU KNOW, THEY CAN START SERVING AGAIN. SO THOSE WERE STANDARDS THERE. AND THEN COMMUNITY COMMITTEE UPDATES. SO

[01:05:04]

THERE WAS NO LIBRARY BOARD ESTABLISHED. SO WE WANTED TO ADD EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE AS D AND NUMBER IT AND THEN ESTABLISH A LIBRARY BOARD. IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LIBRARY DEPARTMENT. I THINK THAT I THINK THIS IS MY DID Y'ALL WANT TO COVER THIS OR ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO COVER THIS ONE? NO. KEEP GOING OKAY. SO THEN THE FINAL WAS, YOU KNOW, ESTABLISH APPOINTMENT RESTRICTIONS FOR CITY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. SO RIGHT NOW THERE ARE NOT ELIGIBLE. YOU KNOW WE BASICALLY WANTED TO SET TO SAY LIKE FAMILIAR MEMBER, YOU KNOW, FAMILIAR MEMBERS WITHIN A ONE DEGREE WANTED TO KIND OF SET THOSE UP SO THAT DIFFERENT BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, PEOPLE IN THE COUNCIL ARE RESTRICTED FROM APPOINTING THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS TO THOSE BOARDS OR PEOPLE WITHIN A DEGREE, LIKE A ONE DEGREE. AND THEN THIS WAS SAME WITH THE CHARTER. OUR OWN COMMISSION WANTED TO ADD THOSE RESTRICTIONS AS WELL, SO THAT WITHIN A, YOU KNOW, ONE DEGREE OF FAMILIAL THAT WE WOULD NOT HAVE ANYONE ON THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION THAT WOULD BE WITHIN THAT FAMILIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WITH THE COUNCIL. SO JUST TRYING TO ENCOURAGE INDEPENDENCE AND ETHICS, RIGHT. TRYING TO SAY, OKAY, LET'S LET'S KEEP THESE THINGS TRULY INDEPENDENT WHILE WE COLLABORATE, BUT ALSO STILL HAVING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE MORE PEOPLE NOW WHO WANT TO SERVE. SO I THINK IT'S A GOOD THING TO HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT VOICES AND THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU. SO. I'M PRETTY SURE WE'RE GOING TO PROBABLY DO THIS A LITTLE BIT MORE FORMAL LATER ON. BUT WE DO WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR ANSWERING THE CALL. WE FOUND YOU ALL AT PARKS, ON SOCIAL MEDIA OR WHEREVER WE FOUND YOU AND ASKED YOU ALL TO, TO TO CONSIDER DOING THIS, AND Y'ALL ANSWERED THE CALL. SO WE APPRECIATE YOUR HARD WORK NAVIGATING THE CHANGES, GIVING UP THAT TIME, AND GETTING THIS WORK TO US. AND SO I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR THAT TIME, COMMITMENT AND HOPE. THIS IS NOT THE LAST THING THAT YOU DO FOR US. AND, YOU KNOW, AND THAT THERE'S MAYBE SOME OF Y'ALL WILL BE ON THAT PNC OR OTHER COMMISSIONS OR EVEN, YOU KNOW, JOIN UP HERE. SO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR FOR YOUR HARD WORK FOR THAT. I THINK OUR ACTION FOR TONIGHT COUNCIL IS TO GIVE DIRECTION ON THE WORKSHOPS. I'M NOT SURE THAT WE'RE READY TO, TO TO ACTUALLY SET UP A DATE YET. SO I THINK WE'LL JUST ACCEPT THE REPORT AND THEN COME BACK AND, AND FIGURE OUT THOSE THINGS, AND THEN ALSO NEGOTIATE A TIME WHEN.

WELL. WE'RE HONOR OUR CHARTER FOLKS. THAT'S HOW EVERYBODY GOT THAT. OKAY. SO AGAIN, THANK YOU ALL AGAIN. BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR FOR THOSE REQUESTS IN REGARDS TO THE NEXT TIME WHERE WE'RE BRING YOU BACK TO SO THAT WE CAN HONOR YOU AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME A LITTLE BIT MORE FORMALLY. AND THEN ALSO, I GUESS IF WHEN WE SET UP OUR TIMES FOR WORKSHOPS, IF WE NEED YOU ALL TO BE THERE, THEN WE'LL DEFINITELY SEND THAT OUT TO YOU ALL AS WELL. ALL RIGHT. SO AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. WE APPRECIATE YOU ALL. THANK YOU. AND YOU ALMOST HAD THE WHOLE ALPHABET. ALL RIGHT. NUMBER EIGHT SECOND AND FINAL READING CONSIDERATION,

[8.Second and Final Reading: Consideration, discussion, and possible action regarding an Ordinance rezoning one (1) lot on 2.786 acres, more or less, and being TCAD parcel 236902 also known as 12725 US HWY 290, Manor, TX from (A) Agricultural to (IN-1) Light Industrial.]

HEAVY COMMERCIAL AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS. AUTHORITY. QUESTIONS. COUNCIL MEMBERS. AGAIN, THANK YOU ALL FOR FOR Y'ALL'S FEEDBACK OVER THE LAST FEW MEETINGS. AND THANK YOU FOR WORKING WITH THE THE FOLKS TO TO GET THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF RESTRICTIONS AND EVERYTHING IN THERE FOR THE FOR THE PROJECT AND DOING THOSE RESEARCH. SO I'LL TAKE QUESTIONS OR MOTION

[01:10:05]

POSSIBLE ACTION ON A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR UP TO 13,000FT■!S OF MEDICAL OFFICE ON ONE LOT ON 6.76 ACRES, MORE OR LESS. AND BEING LOCATED AT ONE A BLOCK A LAS ENTRADAS NORTH SECTION THREE, ALSO KNOWN AS 12420 TALE GAME PASS MAYNARD, TEXAS. COUNCIL MEMBERS I'M GOING TO ASK IF WE CAN BRING THIS ONE BACK AFTER EXECUTIVE SESSION. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE ITEM THAT THE APPLICANT REQUESTED. POSTPONEMENT TILL THE FOURTH. OKAY. WELL THAT WORKS OUT EVEN BETTER. SO CAN WE GET A POSTPONEMENT MOTION IN PLACE FOR THAT MAYOR COUNCIL I LIKE OH WAIT WAIT WAIT HOLD ON. MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS IF THERE IS, IF YOU DO WANT TO DISCUSS THIS ITEM, THEN DO NOT POSTPONE AND WE CAN DISCUSS IT IN EXECUTIVE SESSION OR IF YOU WANT TO, IF YOU'RE JUST NEEDING TIME, THEN JUST GO AHEAD AND MAKE YOUR MOTION. BUT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT IF ■YOU HAVE IT, IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR LEGAL, THEN DON'T TAKE ACTION ON THIS ITEM AND TABLE IT INSTEAD UNTIL AFTER EXECUTIVE SESSION. WELL, LET'S TABLE IT BECAUSE I DO HAVE I HAVE A QUESTION OKAY OKAY. IF Y'ALL CAN MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE MAYOR COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE TABLE THIS ITEM, ITEM NUMBER NINE, UNTIL AFTER EXECUTIVE SESSION. WELL, MOTION BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE. IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER REYNA? ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? BEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES. ITEM NUMBER TEN. CONSIDERATION. DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE 492. GRANTING THAT SCI ENERGY, L.P.

A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, A FRANCHISE TO, AMONG OTHER THINGS, FURNISH AND SUPPLY GAS TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC OF STATE OF MAINE IN TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS, AND AMEND THE DEFINITION OF PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY. MODIFIED INDEMNIFICATION SECTION REQUIRING COMPLIANCE WITH ALL REGULATORY ORDINANCES OF THE CITY. PROVIDING FOR OTHER PROVISIONS RELATED TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF. PROVIDING FOR SAVING CLAUSE AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

YES, SIR. MAYOR. COUNCIL, THIS ITEM IS TO AMEND THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT WE HAVE WITH C ENERGY.

WE HAD A SITUATION WHERE INFRASTRUCTURE WAS BEING INSTALLED BEFORE THE CITY WAS ABLE TO REVIEW THE PLANS TO KNOW THE LOCATION AND THE SPECIFICATIONS OF SAID INFRASTRUCTURE. SO WHAT THIS DOES IS CHANGE THE DEFINITION OF WHAT RIGHT OF WAY IS CONSIDERED, AND ALSO PROVIDES SOME OTHER DIRECTION AND PROTECTIONS FOR US SO THAT WE'RE AWARE OF THIS INFRASTRUCTURE BEFORE IT'S PUT IN THE GROUND. SO IT'S WE'RE AWARE AND IT'S A SAFER EXPERIENCE FOR EVERYONE, BECAUSE THE LAST THING WE WOULD WANT IS ONE OF OUR GUYS OR ANY UTILITY PROVIDER IN THE RIGHT OF WAY, EXCAVATING. AND THEN THEY HIT A GAS LINE. SO THIS IS JUST TO PROVIDE SOME EXTRA SAFETY FOR EVERYONE. ANY QUESTIONS COUNCIL MEMBERS. WE NEED TO BRING THIS ONE BACK OUT TO THE EXECUTIVE TO OKAY.

THAT'S WHY I'M SAYING JUST MOTION TO TABLE THIS UNTIL AFTER EXECUTIVE SESSION. MAYOR COUNCIL I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE TABLE ITEM NUMBER TEN UNTIL AFTER EXECUTIVE SESSION. WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN WALLACE. IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN WEIR. ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION BEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSED MOTION PASSES. WE PROBABLY NEED TO DO THE SAME THING FOR 11 COUNCIL MEMBERS. SO GO AHEAD AND DO THAT ONE SINCE THEY'RE ATTACHED. MAYOR. COUNCIL. I'M SORRY. CONSIDERATION.

DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION ON A RELEASE OF LIABILITY AGREEMENT FOR PSI ENERGY. NOW YOU CAN GO AHEAD. MAYOR COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE TABLE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 11

[01:15:05]

[12.First Reading: Consideration, discussion, and possible action on a Rezoning Application Amendment for the Manor Heights (Carillon) Subdivision, approximately one thousand six hundred and fifty-five (1,655) lots on 548.5 acres, more or less, and being located at the NE corner of US Hwy 290 and Old Kimbro Road, Manor, T]

FROM PLANNED UNIT TO PLANNED UNIT. PUTT. YES, SIR. MAYOR. COUNCIL. THIS ITEM IS ONLY BROUGHT BACK, SO THERE'S AN OFFICIAL RECORD OF THE DEVELOPER WITHDRAWING THE REQUEST. THE LAST TIME THIS WAS HEARD, IT WAS MADE CLEAR BY COUNCIL THAT IT WAS TO BE BROUGHT BACK AT THIS MEETING DATE. THIS IS JUST TO CLEAN THAT UP. SO THERE'S NO CONFUSION AS TO WHY THERE WAS NEVER A RESOLUTION. MAYOR. COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT. OKAY. YEAH. YEAH. WE THAT'S ALL WE'RE DOING. MOVING TO ITEM NUMBER 13,

[13.Consideration, discussion, and possible action on a Resolution Expressing Support for the Travis County Sponsored Applications to the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization’s 2028 – 2031 Call for Projects. ]

AND IF THESE PROJECTS ARE NOT SUBMITTED, OUR PLANNING WINDOW WOULD BE AGAIN, IT WOULD BE MISSED. AND SO THE REQUEST FOR THE COUNTY IS TO HAVE THE CITY SUPPORT. THESE THREE PROJECTS ARE THESE. ARE THEY UP TO BE ON THE LIST OR ARE THEY UP TO BE FUNDED? THESE ARE PLANNING SO THIS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE THE PLANNING POOL. I THINK THERE'S DIFFERENT POOLS OF SUBMITTALS.

AND THIS FOR THE COUNTY. THIS IS MORE OF A PLANNING PART FOR THEM. AND THEN THEY HELPED THE COUNTY INITIATE THE PROCESS TO GO AHEAD AND PLAN AND THEN DO SOME DESIGN. AND THAT'LL BE THE NEXT STEP ONCE THIS PLAN. AND THEY'LL GO TO THE NEXT STEPS TO GET RIGHT AWAY. SO IT'S A MULTI-YEAR PROCESS. AND THIS MAY HELP THE COUNTY INCLUDE ANOTHER CALL FOR ROAD PROJECTS IN THE FUTURE. WITH THESE PROJECTS ARE ON THE LIST. THE COUNTY WOULD HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO PUT IT ON THE BALLOT FOR HOPEFULLY, FUTURE FUNDING TO GET BUILT, BUT IF IT'S NOT ON THE PLAN, THERE'S NO OPPORTUNITY FOR IT TO GET FUNDED OR BE ON A COUNTY'S CALL FOR ROAD PROJECTS. SO HOPEFULLY IN THE FUTURE, THIS WILL ALLOW THE COUNTY TO BE IN A POSITION TO COME BACK OUR WAY WITH PROJECTS AND THEN HOPEFULLY GET SOMETHING ADDED. BECAUSE I THINK WHAT HAPPENED IN 2017, WHEN BLAKE MANOR WAS IDENTIFIED, IT WAS PROBABLY PART OF THE CAMPUS CALL FOR PROJECTS BACK IN THE 2015 OR SO PLAN, AND THAT'S WHY THAT GOT ON THE BALLOT TO GET APPROVED. AND SO THAT'S USUALLY HOW IT WORKS WITH ALL THE TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS, BECAUSE I THINK EVERYBODY'S ALWAYS CONCERNED ABOUT PROJECTS AND TRANSPORTATION. AS WE GROW, WE HAVE TO BE ON A PLAN. AND IF, IF ANY OF OUR ROADWAYS ARE NOT ON THE PLAN, THERE'S A WINDOW LIKE THE MAYOR INDICATED WHEN I GOT HERE, THAT'S A 25 YEAR WINDOW THAT GOT MISSED. AND SO IF WE MISSED THESE WINDOWS, IT COULD BE ANOTHER 10 OR 15 YEARS BEFORE WE ADD SOMETHING TO THE PLAN. SO THE GOAL FOR US IS PEOPLE IN THE VIEWING AUDIENCE AND ON ON LIVE STREAM TRY TO FIGURE OUT WE'RE ADVOCATING FOR THE COUNTY'S PROJECTS, BUT WE ALSO HAVE A LIST OF PROJECTS OURSELVES. AND WE IT'S PART OF THE PACKET AND WE'VE GOT ABOUT SIX PROJECT AREAS AS WELL. GREG LANE, WE GOT OH KIMBRO, WE GOT TOWER, WE GOT JOHNSON. YOU KNOW

[01:20:03]

BUT AGAIN, ALL THESE, THESE SUBDIVISIONS ON BOTH SIDES IN THIS AREA OFF GREG LANE, THAT'S NOT PART OF THAT DEVELOPMENT. SO WE HAVE TO PUT SOMETHING ON THERE TO TO LET THE VOTERS KNOW.

AND THE CITIZENS KNOW WE'RE DOING OUR PART TO GET PROJECTS SUBMITTED. SO WE'RE GOING TO ASK FOR A LETTER OF SUPPORT FROM SENATOR ECKHART'S OFFICE, REPRESENTATIVE COLE'S OFFICE, CAPMETRO TEXDOT. ALL THESE AGENCIES THAT WORK WITH US TO GET A LETTER OF SUPPORT. SO THAT WAY, WHEN THEY GO THROUGH THE SCORING PROCESS, HOPEFULLY THE TRAFFIC COUNT THAT'S ON OUR LIST OF PROJECTS WILL SHOW. IF WE GOT 14,000 HOMES PLANNED OVER THE NEXT 7 TO 10 YEARS, AND YOU AVERAGE TWO CARS PER HOME, YOU'RE LOOKING AT ANOTHER 28,000 CARS. THAT'S GOING TO BE COMING TO OUR COMMUNITY. AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE SUBMIT PROJECTS THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S BEEN WAY OVERLOOKED FOR US TO SUBMIT SOMETHING THAT WE KNOW OUR RESIDENTS WOULD SEE THAT WE'RE DOING OUR PART. AND IT'S JUST IT'S A PROCESS, NO GUARANTEES, BUT AT LEAST WE CAN AT LEAST HAVE SOME PEOPLE ADVOCATE FOR US AT THE AT CAMPO TO SEE THAT MAINERS IN NEED OF PROJECTS TO BE PLANNED, JUST LIKE THE COUNTY. AND IF IT CAN WORK HAND IN HAND, HOPEFULLY WE HAVE THE NINE PROJECTS THAT WE SUBMIT. WE'RE HOPING THAT WE CAN GET SOME CONSIDERATION FOR ALL OF THEM BECAUSE ALL OF THEM ARE JUSTIFIABLE. IT'S JUST WE JUST NEED THEIR SUPPORT SO WE CAN PLAN, DO OUR NEXT PHASE OF PLANNING AND LOOK AT IT RIGHT AWAY AND THINGS THAT ARE NEEDED FOR US TO MAYBE COME TO A FUTURE FUNDING FROM OUR RESIDENTS. QUESTIONS? COMMENTS, COUNCIL MEMBERS. SO IF ANY OF THESE PROJECTS ADVANCE, YOU KNOW, THROUGH CAMPO, WILL THEY UPDATE US ON THE PROCESS OF ANY PARTICULAR PROJECT? BECAUSE I GUESS FOR ME, THE CONCERN IS, YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO MISS ANY OPPORTUNITIES. FOR EXAMPLE, YOU KNOW, BLAKE MAIN ROAD, IT WAS FIXED TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, BUT WE KIND OF MISSED THAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO FIX THE REMAINDER PART. RIGHT. AND I THINK THAT'S THE WHOLE PART WHEN YOU HAVE THE PROJECTS LIKE THAT. AND THAT'S WHY WE WERE TRYING TO GET AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY. SO THAT WAY WE CAN WORK BETTER TOGETHER. WHEN THEY'RE WORKING ON PROJECTS. WE CAN COME TO THE COUNCIL, SAY, WOULD YOU HELP US DO OUR PART? AND SO THIS IS AGAIN LETTING THE COUNTY KNOW YOU HAVE HOWARD, YOU HAVE WELLS BRANCH, BUT WELLS BRANCH IS ALSO GOING DOWN GREG LANE, WHICH WE SUBMIT. AND RIGHT NOW, ANYBODY THAT TRAVELS GREG LANE KNOW THAT IT'S IT'S A TIGHT CORRIDOR. AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE, WE NOT ONLY SHOW PICTURES, BUT WE SHOW THE AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC. AND THEN AS ALL THOSE PROJECTS TOUCH 299, 73, WE'D HAVE TO CIRCLE BACK WITH TXDOT AND SAY, AS YOU DO THE FEASIBILITY STUDY, ANTICIPATE THIS BEING A SUPER COLLECTOR ROAD TO TOUCH. SO IT'D HELP WITH SOME OF THE PLANNING PART WITH TEXDOT. SO THAT WAY WE DON'T MISS THAT WINDOW OF OF A ROAD THAT SHOULD BE PLANNED FOR MAJOR INTERSECTION AT 290 AND 973. ARE WE ARE THEY GOING TO. BECAUSE PART OF US COUNCIL I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER, BUT WE BEEN TALKING ABOUT TRANSPORTATION FOR A MINUTE IN THE 2017. IN THE 2017 COUNCIL BOND AND PACKAGE NOT COUNCIL COUNTY. THESE ACTUAL ROAD PROJECTIONS WERE THERE. AND SO I ACTUALLY HAVE THAT THAT TRANSPORTATION BUILD UP PULLED UP. AND MANY OF THESE PROJECTS, THEY HAD A COST OR A SET FUNDS COMMITTED, BUT THEN A LOT OF THEM WEREN'T FUNDED. AND SO I THINK COUNCILMAN MARINO, TO KIND OF GO TO YOUR QUESTION, THESE ARE NOT GOING TOWARDS SPECIFIC FUNDS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO GO TO PROJECTS.

THESE ARE GOING TO A SERIES OF GRANT REQUESTS FOR THAT. AND SO MR. MY QUESTION IS. ONE. WELL, MY COMMENT IS I AM GLAD THAT THESE PROJECTS ARE GOING THAT THE COUNTY IS SAYING, HEY, SUPPORT THESE PROJECTS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A HUGE IMPACT ON WHAT HAPPENS IN MAIN OR MOVING NORTH, SOUTH, EAST AND WEST. SO KUDOS TO YOU GOING TO THE MEETINGS AND ESTABLISHING THAT RELATIONSHIP. AND THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING GOT A LOT OF POSITIVE FEEDBACK ABOUT YOU BEING PRESENT AT THAT. SO THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE. BUT MY QUESTION IS, IS THERE A IS THERE A BACKUP PLAN FOR THESE ROADS OUT OF THE CURRENT BOND MONEY THAT'S BEEN ALREADY

[01:25:03]

[01:30:03]

[14.Consideration, discussion, and possible action regarding the reappointment of Planning and Zoning Commissioners for Places 2, 4, and 6.]

[01:35:03]

DO WE HAVE SO YOU'RE I GUESS THE REQUEST IS THAT WE DO NOT ASK OR OPEN UP FOR OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES, BUT TO JUST REAPPOINT THEM. NOW THAT THE TIMING, I REALIZED THAT THE CHARTER IS COMPLETED. I BELIEVE THEY'RE AVAILABLE FOR APPOINTMENT, IF YOU SO CHOOSE.

SO THAT DOES OPEN UP THAT OPTION. WHEREAS WHEN IT WAS ORIGINALLY DRAFTED, WE WERE TRYING TO JUST MAKE SURE THE SEATS WERE FILLED SO THAT THERE WEREN'T ANY ISSUES WITH QUORUMS. ASSUMING WHEN IS THE TERM IN JANUARY 1ST? OKAY. SO IT'S ALREADY IN AND THEY JUST FILLING IT. YES, SIR. DO WE HAVE ANY INTEREST. SO THE SECRETARY FOR ME TO ANYONE ELSE.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL. NO WE HAVE NOT IT HAS NOT BEEN MARKETED OPEN, YOU KNOW, TO THE PUBLIC.

SO WHAT WE NORMALLY DO, WE WE ASK THE COMMISSIONER, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSIONERS IF THEY'RE INTERESTED ON GETTING REAPPOINTED. THEY RESPONDED.

THEY ARE. THEY WERE WILLING TO. IT IS UP TO COUNCIL. LIKE MICHAEL SAID, THE ATTENDANCE REPORT IS IS IN YOUR BACKUP. IT IS UP TO COUNCIL. WHETHER YOU DO WANT TO REAPPOINT ANOTHER TWO YEARS OR DO YOU DECLARE VACANCIES AND OPEN IT UP TO THE PUBLIC? IT'S HOWEVER YOU CHOOSE.

CURRENTLY, I DO NOT HAVE ANY PNC APPLICATIONS ON FILE AT LEAST. I MEAN, AT LEAST NORMALLY WE ACCEPT THEM ALL YEAR AND WE WE'RE THEY'RE AVAILABLE WITHIN. WE NORMALLY REVIEW THOSE WITHIN THE YEAR. WE REACH OUT TO CERTAIN, YOU KNOW TO THE APPLICANTS IF THEY'RE INTERESTED. BUT WE HAVEN'T DONE THAT FOR THE BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T LIKE I SAID, IT HASN'T BEEN DECLARED A VACANCY, HASN'T BEEN DECLARED. I WAS I WAS SPECIFICALLY ASKING IN REGARDS TO THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE MEMBERS, BECAUSE SOME OF THEM HAD PUT LISTED MULTIPLE SPACES THAT THEY WERE INTERESTED IN SERVING. SO I DIDN'T KNOW IF ANY OF THEM HAD HAD EXPRESSED INTEREST OR OR ANYTHING. I DID HAVE A FEW. I NEED TO GO BACK AND REVIEW AND SEE WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED. WE DO HAVE STILL TWO COMMISSIONERS HERE. BUT IT'S TOTALLY UP TO COUNCIL. AND OF COURSE WE STILL HAVE THOSE TWO ALTERNATES VACANT THAT IS NOT ON THE AGENDA. THAT'S AN ITEM WE WOULD HAVE TO BRING BACK. AND YOU CAN ALSO DIRECT STAFF TO OPEN IT UP FOR ADDITIONAL APPLICANTS. IF YOU WANT TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS, YOU CAN EXTEND THEIR TERM ANOTHER MONTH OR SO. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THE WHOLE TWO YEARS, I'M ASSUMING THAT CAN BE AN OPTION. NO. OKAY. ILLEGAL. OKAY. MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS, YOU DO NOT NEED TO EXTEND THE TERM. PRETTY MUCH THEY SERVE UNTIL YOU REPLACE THEM. IF IF THEY'VE IF THEIR TERM HAS EXPIRED, BASICALLY THEY STAY ON UNTIL WE DO UNTIL YOU EITHER EXCUSE ME UNTIL YOU EITHER REAPPOINT OR FIND REPLACEMENTS. OKAY. IF I WOULD SAY I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE WAS ANY INTEREST FROM ANY OF THE CHARTER MEMBERS. BEFORE I MAKE A DECISION ABOUT REAPPOINTING. SECOND, WOULD YOU LIKE TO POSTPONE THE ITEM? THAT'S JUST ME. I MEAN, I WOULD AGREE WITH THE MAYOR ON THAT ONE. I, I AGREE AS WELL. THE DO WE TABLE OR DO DO YOU WANT HER TO FIND OUT FOR TONIGHT OR DO YOU WANT TO BRING IT BACK. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS TO BE BROUGHT BACK THAT WAY. IT GIVES YOU TIME, YOU KNOW, TO REACH OUT TO THEM. YEAH. OKAY. YES, WE CAN, YOU CAN YOU CAN POSTPONE IT TONIGHT AND WE CAN PUT IT ON THE NEXT AGENDA FOR REVIEW. I'LL TAKE THAT MOTION. MAYOR. COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE POSTPONE ITEM NUMBER 14 TO THE. 4TH FEBRUARY FOURTH REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING. WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER RIGHT NOW. IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND. SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM HERE. ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? NO QUESTIONS. ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES

AND SO AS THIS GOES THROUGH THE PROCESS, I'LL HAVE CONTINUED CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM AND THEN KIND OF WORK THOSE PIECES OUT. COULD THAT POSSIBLY CONNECT WITH YAC AS WELL? POSSIBLY SO. AND I DON'T THINK THERE'S I THINK THEY WERE EXCITED ABOUT ALL THE THINGS WE'RE DOING. AND AND THEN WE GOT TO TALKING ABOUT, WELL, YOU KNOW, THERE'S ONLY CAPACITY, SO MUCH CAPACITY. AND SO AT SOME POINT IN TIME, YOU KNOW, THERE HAS TO BE AN IDEA THAT HAS TO BE THE TRAINING, THE COMMUNICATION PIECE, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I THINK PART OF THE PART OF THE REASON WHY WE SAID WE WANT TO PILOT WAS BECAUSE OF MY FAMILIARITY WITH INTERNSHIP PROGRAMS, BUT EVERYONE DOESN'T HAVE THAT SAME EXPERIENCE. AND SO HOW DO WE ONBOARD FOLKS IN THAT WAY? SO THAT'S THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT THEY'LL BE LOOKING AT IN THAT TRAINING PROCESS, IS LOOKING AT ALL THE AREAS OF COUNCIL AND PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES. LIKE I SAID, OUR RESEARCH, OUR ADVOCACY INTO LEGISLATORS SESSIONS AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT, EVEN WORKING TO DO COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, TOWN HALLS, ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. YOU'VE YOU'VE PROGRAMS, ALL OF THOSE THINGS WILL BE PART OF THE CONVERSATION OF WHAT WE WANT THEM TO DO. AND THEN THE TRAINING PROGRAM FOR THE INTERNS AND FOR THE COUNCIL PERSONS WILL BE SPECIFICALLY AROUND THAT GROUP OF, OF TOPICS. AND THEN HOW TO HOW TO MONITOR, SUPPORT AND DO THE WEEKLY SUPERVISION AND THAT KIND OF STUFF. AND SO THAT'S JUST KIND OF FORTHCOMING FOR, YOU KNOW, FOR THE FUTURE AND THEN COST ANYTHING. SO THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF THIS IS THAT ALL OF THIS IS MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL OUTSIDE OF THE STIPEND PART. IT'S ALL MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL EXPERIENCES FOR THE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AND FOR FOR US. YEAH, I WOULD SAY THAT SOUNDS VERY INTERESTING AND AND DEFINITELY KEEP ME UPDATED ON THAT. I'D BE INTERESTED IN THAT. OKAY. WILL THIS BE ABLE TO BE USED BY STUDENTS AS WELL? YEAH, WE

[01:50:04]

AND THEN WHATEVER WE COME UP WITH COMES BEFORE COUNCIL FOR DISCUSSION AND VOTE. BUT THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. WE ACTUALLY DID TALK ABOUT THAT SPECIFICALLY AROUND THE HOURS AND THE STIPEND. OTHER QUESTIONS. BEN, AND I THINK WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. AND SO ALL IN FAVOR. OPPOSED MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. ALRIGHT. CITY COUNCIL WILL NOW CONVENE
