[4. CONSENT AGENDA]

[5. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND CITY COUNCIL ACTIONS]

[00:15:06]

YES, MISTER MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL WE BRING TO YOU TONIGHT ORDINANCE NUMBER 3172.

ZONING CHANGE 26 DAYS ZERO FIVE. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KAUFMAN COUNTY, TEXAS, AMENDING APPENDIX TWO ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF TERRELL AND CHANGING THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION FROM LIGHT INDUSTRIAL ALLEY TO HIGHWAY CORRIDOR H C ON APPROXIMATELY 0.447 ACRES OF LAND DEPICTED WITHIN THE SPECIAL WARRANTY DEED WITHIN EXHIBIT A AND ATTACHED HERETO AND MADE A PART HEREOF FOR ALL PURPOSES.

AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING. PROVIDING A PENALTY, PROVIDING REPEALING SAVINGS AND SEVERABILITY CLAUSES, PROVIDING FOR PUBLIC PUBLICATION AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. OKAY, SO YOU HAD MENTIONED THAT THIS WAS A UNANIMOUS VOTE. YES, SIR. YES, UNANIMOUS SEVEN ZERO. WAS THAT THE ONLY THAT WAS THE ONLY PARCEL THAT WAS STILL LIGHT INDUSTRIAL OUT THERE. IS THERE STILL? WE STILL HAVE SOME. OKAY. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. AND THIS JUST HELPS CLEAN UP THE CORNER THERE.

YEAH. WE'VE GOT THE OWNER IS LOOKING AT DIFFERENT LEASE TENANTS. OKAY. AND THINKS IT'LL MATCH BETTER COUNCIL. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR RAYMOND? OKAY. IF NOT, OH GO AHEAD. NO. JUST CURIOUS. THIS IS THE ONLY PLAT IN THAT AREA THAT IS ZONED LIGHT INDUSTRIAL CURRENTLY. NO, SIR. IF YOU LOOK AT THE ZONING MAP, ALL OF THAT LIGHT PURPLE OKAY, IS STILL LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. SO YOU HAVE THE PD THAT WAS PLACED OVER THE TRACTOR SUPPLY PARCEL, BUT FARTHER UP HIGHWAY 205 WHERE YOU SEE THE THE DARK PURPLE, THAT'S WHERE IT STARTS HIGHWAY CORRIDORS. SO WE'RE TRYING TO BRING THAT DOWN TO HIGHWAY 80 RATHER THAN HAVING LIGHT INDUSTRIAL BUSINESSES POPPING UP IN THAT AREA, JUST TRYING TO PROTECT THE ENTRANCE. SOUNDS GOOD. ALRIGHT. ANYONE ELSE? ALRIGHT. COUNCIL, THIS IS A ORDINANCE NUMBER 3172. IS THERE A MOTION? MOTION TO GO AHEAD. SO MOVED. WE HAVE A MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION FROM DONNA RENEE ANDERSON, OUR DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM DISTRICT TWO, TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 3172 AS PRESENTED A SECOND FROM PHIL ROBERTSON, OUR MAYOR PRO TEM DISTRICT FIVE. IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, LET IT BE KNOWN BY STATING I, I. ANY OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES AN END TO ALL THOSE PRESENT. OUR NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS 5.3 CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING A REQUEST FOR A ZONE CHANGE FROM SINGLE FAMILY. 7.5 SF 7.5 TO MULTIFAMILY MF ON APPROXIMATELY 4.355 ACRES OF LAND LOCATED IN THE WARREN ADDITION BLOCK 17 LOT TWO, PART OF CITY OF KAUFMAN COUNTY, TEXAS, IDENTIFIED AS KAUFMAN COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT PROPERTY ID 42999 AND COMMONLY KNOWN AS ZERO ALLEN STREET AND TERRELL, TEXAS. RAYLAN. SO WHAT YOU HAVE IS THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT THE CORNER OF ALLEN STREET AND LANE STREET. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED SINGLE FAMILY 7.5. THE PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE WOULD ALLOW THE PROPERTY TO SERVE AS A TRANSITION BETWEEN THE EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS AND THE ADJACENT COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES. THIS ZONING DESIGNATION IS ALSO CONSISTENT WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN, WHICH IS A NEW TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD WHICH ALLOWS FOR MORE VARIATION. SO YOU'LL NOTICE IN YOUR COMP PLAN THAT YOU HAVE SOME THAT ARE LABELED NEW TRADITIONAL, AND THAT IS FOR TRANSITION ZONES, JUST NOT KNOWING HOW THE LOTS WILL BUILD OUT. OKAY. I'M SORRY, 29 LETTERS WERE MAILED TO WERE RECEIVED IN FAVOR AND ONE IN OPPOSITION. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. AGAIN. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. SO AT THIS TIME WE WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE COMMENTS ON A REQUEST FOR A ZONE CHANGE FROM SINGLE FAMILY 7.5 TO MULTIFAMILY ON WARREN IN THE WARREN ADDITION. IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS MATTER? HEARING NONE, WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. MOVE ON TO ITEM 5.4. YES, MISTER MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL WE BRING TO YOU TONIGHT ORDINANCE NUMBER 3171, ZONING CHANGE 20 6-04, AN

[00:20:03]

DID ANYONE SHOW UP AT THE PLANNING AND ZONING IN OPPOSITION OF IT? NO, I DIDN'T THINK SO. ALL RIGHT. ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON RENEE? THIS IS YOUR DISTRICT. YOU SAID THERE WAS OVER 20 LETTERS 2929, AND WE GOT ONE REJECTION, TWO IN FAVOR AND ONE OPPOSED. YES, MA'AM. OKAY. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I HAVE MANY, OKAY. THIS I'VE EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT BEFORE. IS THIS A DEVELOPER LED OR DEVELOPER REQUESTED REZONE? IT IS CORRECT. IT'S OWNER PROPERTY OWNER, PROPERTY OWNER REQUESTED. AND THE INTENTION IS MULTIFAMILY. CORRECT. AND WHERE DO WE HAVE A CLEAR PICTURE OF THE NUMBER OF UNITS THAT ARE PLANNED OR NO CLEAR PICTURE. BUT IF WE DO THIS REZONING, THEN THAT THAT PARCEL THERE JUST ADJACENT OR JUST OFF OF MOORE AND CLOSE TO NINTH STREET WILL HAVE A MULTIFAMILY APARTMENT THERE, CORRECT? POTENTIALLY. YEAH. SO THEY'RE NOT ASKING FOR CURRENTLY, THEY'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANY VARIANCES. SO IT WOULD HAVE TO MEET ALL OF THE SETBACKS AND HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS. OKAY. AND WHAT WAS THE TERMINOLOGY THERE? THE THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN WAS NEW TRADITIONAL NEW TRADITIONAL. AND WHAT IS IS THAT A TERRIBLE TERMINOLOGY OR IS THAT A THAT IS A I'VE NEVER HEARD THAT TERMINOLOGY. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN SPECIFICALLY? SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT YOUR COMP PLAN, WHAT YOU'LL REALIZE IS THAT YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DOESN'T USE THE SAME ZONING USES THAT WE USE IN OUR ZONING ORDINANCE, SO THAT IT IS JUST A PLAN. IF YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THIS AREA MAY CHANGE SOME. SO YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HAS A MUCH MORE BROADER STROKE. AND SO IT DOESN'T ALWAYS SAY 7.5, IT WILL SAY CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOOD OR NEW TRADITIONAL OR, YOU KNOW, JUST DIFFERENT. IT VARIES. AND IT'S NOT AS SPECIFIC AS YOUR ZONING ORDINANCE IS THE OWNER OF THE TRACT HERE TONIGHT TO. YEAH. ASK ANY QUESTIONS OR OKAY, CAN YOU KIND OF OUTLINE WHAT YOUR INTENTION IS WITH THE REZONE? YES SIR. SO I'M BRIAN BRIDGEWATER WITH FOOTPRINT RESIDENTIAL. SO WE'RE THE LANDOWNER. I ALSO HAPPEN TO BE A CIVIL ENGINEER. SO BUT WE'VE BEEN TARGETING A SENIOR LIVING GROUP. SO I'VE BEEN THROUGH MANY ZONING CASES THROUGHOUT THE METROPLEX. YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THERE'S ALWAYS A SENSITIVITY WHEN THERE'S SINGLE FAMILY AROUND THE TERM MULTIFAMILY. IT'S A SCARY TERM.

I KNOW THE MOST COUNCILS, THE MOST CITIES, A SITE LIKE THIS, IT'S A UNIQUE LOCATION. YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, A COLLISION CENTER TO OUR WEST. WE'VE GOT SOME RESTAURANTS TO THE SOUTH. THERE'S OBVIOUSLY SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTS TO THE EAST. THE CITY HAS A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS THAT PERTAIN TO THINGS LIKE SETBACKS, YOU KNOW, SCREENING LANDSCAPE, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS THE GROUPS THAT WE'VE BEEN TARGETING FOR SENIOR LIVING, IT'S A REALLY LOW INTENSIVE USE. SO IF WE CAME IN, WE'VE WE'VE LAID THIS TRACT OUT TO LOOK AT RESIDENTIAL HOMES, YOU KNOW, THE NUMBER OF HOMES WE CAN GET ON HERE IF WE CAN LAND THIS SENIOR LIVING FACILITY, TRAFFIC COUNTS ARE ALMOST DEAD. EVEN SO, THERE'S REALLY NO NET NEGATIVE ON TRAFFIC FOR THAT. FOR SENIOR. HOW MANY UNITS ARE WE PLANNING? THE GROUP THAT'S LOOKING AT IT, I BELIEVE THEY'RE AROUND 60 UNITS. SO IT'S AN ACTIVE SENIOR. WE DON'T FEEL THERE WILL BE ANY TRAFFIC IMPACT AT ALL WITH 60 ADDITIONAL UNITS IN THAT AREA. NO. WELL, IN THE WAY THAT TRAFFIC'S DONE, IT'S YOU LOOK AT THE PEAK THE PEAK TRAFFIC DEMAND. SO A SENIOR LIVING FACILITY, THEY'LL PEAK DIFFERENTLY THAN, SAY, A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE EVERYBODY'S GETTING UP AND GOING TO WORK AT THE SAME TIME OR COMING HOME SO ACTIVE SENIOR, IT SPREADS THAT CURVE OUT AND REDUCES THE PEAK TRAFFIC, YOU KNOW, DOWN TO THE SAME. SO BUT LET'S SAY YOU PUT A COMMERCIAL CENTER IN THERE, YOU'RE GOING TO PEAK WAY UP. SO THERE'S THERE'S DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT USES HAVE DIFFERENT PEAKS. BUT THOSE ARE ALL THINGS THAT WE WOULD WORK THROUGH DURING THE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS, DURING THE SITE PLAN PROCESS. AND THE CITY'S GOT A LOT OF A LOT OF STUFF THEY'LL BEAT US UP WITH. AND I CONSIDER LANE AND ALLEN THERE. I THINK THAT THERE'S, YOU KNOW, SOME VERY SMALL ROADS. THEY'RE THOROUGHFARES. IT'S A QUIET LITTLE NEIGHBORHOOD. THERE'S A, YOU KNOW, NOT A NOT A TON OF BANDWIDTH TO ADD ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC WITH THOSE, THOSE SMALL ROADS THERE. AND YOU'RE TURNING RIGHT OFF OF MORE, YOU KNOW, TO GET INTO IT. OR I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE, ARE YOU PLANNING ANY KIND OF

[00:25:03]

ANYONE ELSE? THE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HOUSING FOR SENIOR CITIZENS. YES, MA'AM. THAT'S WHO WE'RE TARGETING IS THE RESPECTIVE DEVELOPER FOR THIS TRACT. AND. BASED ON YOUR HIS YOUR INFORMATION, WE ARE NOT GOING TO SEE A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN. VEHICLE USE BY THESE CITIZENS. YES, MA'AM. IF IT WERE DEVELOPED CONVENTIONALLY TO, SAY, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, THAT COMPARED TO A ACTIVE SENIOR LIVING, IT WOULD IT WOULD BE PRETTY COMPARABLE. SO WE WOULD STILL HAVE TO DO A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS. YOU KNOW, I KNOW THERE WAS SOME CONCERNS ABOUT TRAFFIC GOING TO THE NORTH. WE'VE ACTUALLY ALREADY TALKED WITH STAFF. YOU KNOW, THEY THEY, I DON'T THINK THEY THEY DON'T SUPPORT THAT. YOU KNOW, THERE'S A THERE'S A BEND IN NINTH STREET THAT THAT HAS SOME VISIBILITY ISSUES. SO GOING NORTH ISN'T IDEAL, BUT THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE WOULD STILL HAVE TO WORK THROUGH DURING THE SITE PLAN AND SUBDIVISION PROCESS. SO, SO. YES, MA'AM. THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION, IT IT'S NOT LIKE A BIG SHOPPING CENTER. IT'S NOT LIKE A GIANT, YOU KNOW, 300 UNIT MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT. YOU KNOW, THE PEAK TRAFFIC IS IT'S IN, IT'S IN LINE WITH SAY, A SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT FOR THIS SPOT. IT'S THE AGE RANGE WE'RE TARGETING WITH THE SENIOR LIVING. I BELIEVE IT'S EITHER 55 OR 60 PLUS. I SHOULD KNOW THAT. BUT IT'S IT'S THEY CONSIDER IT ACTIVE. SENIOR IS WHAT IS WHAT THE PROSPECTIVE DEVELOPER WANTS TO DO. I THINK 55 YEAR OLDS TO 60, THOSE ARE STILL PEOPLE WHO ARE DRIVING PRETTY ACTIVELY, I WOULD THINK.

YES SIR. I, I, YEAH. OKAY. MY, MY QUESTION. I THINK WE HAD RAYLAN, JUST TO MAKE SURE I'M, I'M UNDERSTANDING. THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS. IT SOUNDS LIKE A PLANNING AND ZONING WAS A 7 TO 0. IT'S NEW TRADITIONAL, WHICH IS WHAT WE HAVE IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THIS PROVIDES A ESSENTIALLY A TRANSITION FROM COMMERCIAL ON A BUSY AREA TO MORE OF WHAT WE WOULD BE TRANSIENT, IF THAT'S THE RIGHT WORD TO USE FROM COMMERCIAL. ESSENTIALLY SOMEWHAT OF A BUFFER, RIGHT? I WOULD SAY FROM COMMERCIAL ON 80 TO SINGLE FAMILY IN THE IN THE AREA. WHICH IN MY OPINION. AND PERHAPS MAYBE MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT MAY. MAY, MAY ALSO AGREE OR HAVE A SIMILAR OPINION THAT AT LEAST IT'S A BUFFER, RIGHT? SO YOU'RE NOT GOING

[00:30:07]

WE DO. THE CITY DOES HAVE DEDICATED RIGHT OF WAY THERE. AND WE'VE EVEN TALKED ABOUT COMING BACK AND ABANDONING THAT SO THAT WE IN THE FUTURE, YOU DON'T HAVE DEVELOPMENTS TRYING TO BUILD OFF OF NINTH STREET. WE DON'T OWN THE ENTIRE EASEMENT IN THAT AREA, BUT THAT IS WHY PEOPLE ARE DRAWN TO THAT DIRECTION. SO WE DEFINITELY WANT TO PROTECT NOT STREET WITH ANY DEVELOPMENT. YEAH. AND IT'S A CAN ONLY IMAGINE, YOU KNOW, WHEN TRYING TO ADVOCATE FOR, FOR THE BEST INTERESTS OF YOUR DISTRICTS AND WHAT YOUR OPINION OF, OF THAT MAY BE THAT APPROVING A DEVELOPMENT THAT'S NOT QUITE IN LINE WITH THAT VISION, ALTHOUGH IT'S WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, OUTLINES CAN FEEL HARSH OR AGAINST YOUR IDEALS, BUT IT IS WHAT WE HAVE IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND SO IF WE WANT THAT VISION CHANGE, THEN I THINK THAT SHOULD BE DONE THE NEXT TIME THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS REVIEWED, ALONG WITH THE MASTER PLAN. SO THANK YOU. YES. ONE MORE REAL QUICKLY, I WANTED TO MAKE THE POINT THAT BECAUSE JUST BECAUSE IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DOESN'T MEAN THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT IS A GOOD IDEA. WHAT IF WE HAD A 50 STORY, YOU KNOW, SENIOR LIVING BUILDING THERE THAT MIGHT BE WITHIN THE THE ZONING CATEGORIZATION, BUT IT'S STILL NOT MAYBE NOT AN IDEAL PROJECT, BUT I WANTED TO TO ASK, COULD WE ASK CHIEF LACROIX ABOUT WHETHER HE THINKS HE FEELS THAT WILL HAVE SUFFICIENT EMERGENCY ACCESS IN AND OUT OR HAS. WELL, HE HAD A CHANCE TO WHERE WE ARE IN THE PROCESS IN THE. WE'VE HAD DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE WITH THIS DEVELOPER AND HAD THE FIRE MARSHAL SIT IN AND LOOK AT AND MAKE SURE THAT HE HAD THE MEASUREMENTS. WE.

WE'VE BEEN STUDYING THOSE STREETS. OKAY. I'M TRYING TO TO GIVE HIM IDEAS OF WHERE HIS EGRESS WOULD BE ON THAT PROPERTY. SO JUST THINK, HE DID START WITH THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE LADDER TRUCK INTO THAT LITTLE AREA RIGHT THERE WOULD BE REALLY CHALLENGING, YOU KNOW, DOWN LANE INTO A MULTI-FAMILY STRUCTURE AND THAT LITTLE TIGHT AREA. YOU CAN ASK OUR CONTRACTORS, OUR FIRE MARSHAL, MAKE SURE WE DO IT RIGHT. HE DIDN'T BUDGE. OKAY, JUST A FOLLOW UP QUESTION. I THINK IT'S A REALLY GOOD POINT ABOUT LIKE THE HOW MANY FLOORS ESSENTIALLY WOULD BE ALLOWED, HOW MANY FLOORS ARE ALLOWED IN MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING. I THINK WITH YOUR SETBACKS AND WE TALKED ABOUT I DIDN'T GO BACK AND LOOK, IT'S ONLY THREE BECAUSE OF YOUR SETBACKS. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE HOT REGULATIONS ALSO. SO THREE STORY MAX ZONING AND ORDINANCE WOULD CALL FOR ABOUT THREE PROBABLY NO MORE THAN THAN FIVE FOR MULTIFAMILY. THREE STORIES. THREE STORIES WOULD BE THE MAXIMUM. YEAH. THANK YOU. OKAY, GOOD. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU AGAIN. THIS IS. WE'RE AT 5.4 DISCUSSION TO CONSIDER. THIS IS ORDINANCE NUMBER 3171. IS THAT CORRECT? WHERE ARE WE GOING BACKWARDS. DIDN'T WE HAVE 3172. THAT'S THE CORRECT ONE. I KNOW, BUT WE DID DO 3172 EARLIER. WE DID. YEAH, WE DID GO DIGRESS. YOU'RE GOOD WITH THAT DON. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. NO THAT'S FINE.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ALRIGHT. WE'RE IN THE RIGHT WAY. ALRIGHT COUNCIL SO THIS WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS IS ORDINANCE NUMBER 3171. IS THERE A MOTION? I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 3171. I HAVE A MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND. SECOND FOR ORDINANCE NUMBER 3172 WE HAVE A MOTION FROM DONNA. I'M SORRY, WAS IT 31171? WE HAVE A MOTION FROM DONNA RENEE ANDERSON, OUR DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM DISTRICT TWO, A SECOND FROM MAYOR RONNY VELASQUEZ FROM DISTRICT THREE TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER THREE, 171 AS PRESENTED. IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, LET IT BE KNOWN BY STATING I, I ANY OPPOSED? NAY, MOTION CARRIES TWO. ONE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS 5.5 CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AMENDMENTS TO APPENDIX TWO. ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CARROLL. CODE OF ORDINANCES, INCLUDING ARTICLE THREE ZONING DISTRICTS SECTION 20 DASH TOWNHOUSE. RESIDENTIAL. TH. ARTICLE FOUR USE REGULATIONS. SECTION 32 USE

[00:35:04]

I'M GOING TO WALK THROUGH THE USE CHART BECAUSE YOU'LL NOTICE SOME THINGS ARE HIGHLIGHTED.

YOU'LL SEE THIS A LITTLE BIT LATER. WE'RE RECOMMENDING SPECIFIC USE PERMITS FOR BED AND BREAKFAST FOR SF 16, SF TEN AND ALL THE WAY DOWN TO SF 7.5. AND WHEN I TALKED TO P AND Z ABOUT THIS, A LOT OF WHAT WE DON'T REALIZE IS EVEN SOME OF OUR LARGER LOTS ARE STILL JUST ZONED 7.5. MOST OF YOUR HOUSES, EVEN ON GRIFFITH, ARE ZONED 7.5. SO EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE LARGER LOTS AND THEY CAN ACCOMMODATE THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WE WROTE INTO THIS ORDINANCE, WE WE NEEDED TO COME DOWN ON OUR ZONING JUST A LITTLE BIT.

BOARDING HOUSES. THIS IS FOR THE STATE LICENSED JUVENILE. YOU'LL RECALL THAT WE HAD AN SCP THAT CAME FORWARD LAST YEAR WHENEVER THE JUVENILE HOME WAS WANTING TO MOVE INTO A COMMERCIALLY ZONED PROPERTY. SO WE ARE JUST GOING IN AND DEFINING THAT AS THAT JUVENILE HOME. SO SO WE KNOW THAT WE'RE VERY CLEAR ON THOSE USES, DELIVERY KIOSKS, BECAUSE WE ALL LOVE THE DRONES. AMAZON SNUCK IN THROUGH US A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. WE KNOW THAT THERE'S SOME MAILBOXES OUT THERE AT Q T, AND WE HAD A DRONE BUSINESS COME FORWARD, SWEAR THAT NO CITY IS MAKING THEM GET BUILDING PERMITS, BUT TONS OF YOUR COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL BUSINESSES ARE FIXING TO PUT LITTLE DRONE KIOSKS IN FRONT OF THEIR BUILDINGS SO THAT DRONES CAN START DELIVERING AND PICKING UP PACKAGES. SO YOU'LL NOTICE A LITTLE BIT LATER IN THE ORDINANCE, WE WENT THROUGH AND MADE SURE THAT WE WERE VERY SPECIFIC ABOUT THE LOCATION, THAT IT COULDN'T BLOCK PEDESTRIAN WALKWAYS, SITE PLAN HAD TO BE APPROVED, AND THAT WE MAY BE THE ONLY CITY IN TEXAS THAT MAKES THEM GET A BUILDING PERMIT. SO MOVING TO THE NEXT SECTION, THIS IS WHERE IT GOES IN AND CLEARLY DEFINES THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR BED AND BREAKFAST BEFORE YOU JUST HAD A DEFINITION. SO WE WENT IN AND ADDED A FEW RULES, MAKING SURE THAT CPS ARE COMING FORWARD TO P AND Z, AND ALSO CITY COUNCIL, SO THAT NEIGHBORS ARE BEING NOTIFIED IF A BED AND BREAKFAST IS WANTING TO OPEN IN THAT AREA. WE HAVE A GUEST ROOM LIMIT. WE MAKE SURE THAT THE PARKING IS ADEQUATE. ALL CPS CAN BE TAKEN AWAY IF WE HAVE ANY NOISE OR ANY PROBLEMS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AT ALL. EXTERIOR APPEARANCE HAS TO REMAIN CONSISTENT WITH JUST THE NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER. HEALTH AND SAFETY. COMPLIANCE IS A HEALTH PERMIT EVERY YEAR, AND THEY WOULD ALSO HAVE TO APPLY FOR A CCO EACH YEAR. BOARDING HOME STATE LICENSE JUVENILE. AGAIN, THIS JUST GOES INTO MORE DETAIL ABOUT WHAT THAT PARTICULAR USE IS. DELIVERY KIOSK. THIS IS WHERE WE GO IN AND DEFINE THE SITE PLANS AND THINGS THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR, AND THINGS THAT THEY HAVE TO VERIFY THAT THOSE KIOSKS WILL NOT DO, SUCH AS THE BUILDING PLACEMENT AND SIDEWALK AND PEDESTRIAN ACCESS, ETC. AND

[00:40:01]

THAT'S A GOOD THING. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR RAYLAN? THE BOARDING HOUSES, IT'S JUST IT'S DESIGNATED JUVENILE WITH A STATE LICENSE. JUVENILE? DO WE HAVE ANY ORDINANCES ABOUT JUST BOARDING HOMES FOR ADULTS? YES WE DO. AND ARE YOU WORKING THROUGH THOSE? YES, MA'AM. WE ARE, BECAUSE THAT ONE'S VERY STICKY. SO THIS WAS OUR FIRST BIG STEP TO START TO SEPARATE THE TWO. AND IN THESE BOARDING HOMES FOR STATE LICENSED JUVENILES. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE QUESTION, BUT DO THEY REQUIRE FIRE SUPPRESSING SYSTEMS? YES, MA'AM. OKAY. THANK YOU. YES. ON THE BED AND BREAKFAST AND THE. THE OTHER TYPE OF HOMES THAT ARE USED. I KNOW SOME OF THE CITIES ARE HAVING DIFFICULTIES WITH EITHER NOISE ORDINANCES, PARTIES, YOU KNOW, THINGS LIKE THAT. WE FEEL COMFORTABLE, COMFORTABLE ENOUGH THAT WE'VE GOT A GOOD HANDLE ON THAT. YEAH. WE'VE MADE SURE THAT WE CAN REVOKE A CO. IS THERE PENALTIES INVOLVED IF. YEAH, IT'S THE STANDARD 2000 PENALTY WITHIN THE ZONING ORDINANCE. I WOULD SAY WE PUT THAT NOT THAT WE EVER WANT TO USE IT, BUT IF IT'S HIGH ENOUGH TO TO DETER THEN YOU'RE OKAY. IF IT'S TOO LOW, SOME, A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL JUST SAY, HEY, HERE'S $100 OR $50 GO AWAY, BUT MAKE SURE THAT ORDINANCE IS THE MAXIMUM. ALL RIGHT. COOL. GOOD.

ANYBODY ELSE? RAYLAN, WITH THE. THE BOARDING HOUSE, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE LANGUAGE IN THE ORDINANCE WOULD. WOULD PREVENT. I'M THINKING IN TERMS OF LIKE SAFETY, PRIVACY, JUST PROTECTING LIKE THAT INFORMATION SINCE THE BOARDING HOUSES FOR, FOR JUVENILES SPECIFICALLY THINKING ABOUT CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES. AND THAT'S WHY WE LINKED IT BACK TO THE, TO THE LESSONS WITH THE STATE IS THAT IF THEY'VE MET THOSE STATE REQUIREMENTS, PLUS ALL OF OUR BUILDING REQUIREMENTS, THEN WE CAN AT LEAST THEY WON'T HAVE TO COME IN FRONT OF COUNCIL AND GIVE AWAY ESSENTIALLY WHERE WHERE YOU EXACTLY PROTECTED SITE FOR YOUTH. OKAY. THAT'S WHAT I THAT UP A LITTLE BIT. YEAH. TO DOUBLE CHECK AND THEN THE BED AND BREAKFAST. BED AND BREAKFAST. I'M LOOKING AT THE, THE CHARTS. SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE NEED A SPECIAL USE PERMIT IN THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. SO 16, TEN, 7.5, BUT THEY'RE ALLOWED IN EXECUTIVE STATE RESIDENTIAL 64 AND 32. CAN YOU REMIND ME OF LIKE WHAT? GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE. SO PREVIOUSLY. SO WHAT'S IN YELLOW IS JUST WHAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING. SO PREVIOUSLY Y'ALL HAD ALREADY APPROVED FOR BED AND BREAKFAST TO BE PERMITTED IN THE EXECUTIVE ESTATES RESIDENTIAL THAT TEXAS HERITAGE AND ALSO APARTMENT COMPLEXES. I THINK Y'ALL HAD A REQUEST A FEW YEARS AGO ABOUT AN APARTMENT TURNING INTO A BED AND BREAKFAST. SO COULD YOU WITHOUT ME TRYING TO DIG THROUGH LIKE THE THE ZONING AND THE DEFINITIONS. SO YOUR S F 16, THOSE ARE YOUR 16,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS. THEN YOU HAVE 10,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS AND THEN 7500 SQUARE FOOT LOTS. YOUR EXECUTIVE ESTATES ARE GOING TO BE YOUR HALF ACRE AND ABOVE ACRE AND ABOVE. YEAH. SO THOSE ARE GOING TO BE ALL OF YOUR LARGER LOTS. SO WE CHOSE NOT TO GO PAST 7.5 JUST BECAUSE OF THE PARKING REGULATIONS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. SO HOPEFULLY THAT'LL HELP. DO MOST CITIES AUTOMATICALLY. I'M TRYING TO GET A SENSE OF LIKE, WHAT DO MOST WHEN DO MOST CITIES EITHER REQUEST A SPECIAL USE PERMIT OR AUTOMATICALLY ALLOW THE BED AND BREAKFAST? MOST OF YOUR CITIES LEAN TOWARDS S, U, P AND IT'S REALLY MORE OF A NOTIFICATION FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE YOU GO THROUGH THE PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS. AND SO IT LETS EVERYONE WITHIN 200FT KNOW THAT WE DON'T WANT TO BE A PROBLEM, BECAUSE NOW THEY HAVE A STRAIGHT LINE TO NUISANCE COMPLAINTS, ETC. AND THAT'S WHY

[00:45:03]

THIS TIME THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF NO. THE AMENDING APPENDIX. ZONING ORDINANCES FOR REGULATIONS. IS THERE ANYONE HERE THAT WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS MATTER? HEARING NONE, WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. IF YOU WOULD PLEASE COME FORWARD. THANK YOU. PHIL. MY PLEASURE. CAN I ASK MY QUESTION NOW? YES. OKAY. GO AHEAD. I'M SORRY. SO I DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS REGARDING THAT.

THAT PATIO HOME DESIGNATION. SO WE'RE GETTING RID OF THE TOWNHOME DESIGNATION, RIGHT.

WELL, YOU STILL HAVE TOWNHOMES WITHIN THAT USE. YES. I DON'T KNOW THAT JUST REALISTICALLY THAT TOWNHOMES ARE A SUBSET OF PATIO HOMES. YOU KNOW, PATIO HOMES TYPICALLY ARE SMALL.

USUALLY ONE STORY, I BELIEVE. NO, THEY'RE JUST ZERO LOT LINE ZERO LOT LINE. DO THEY SHARE A WALL WITH A NEIGHBOR? OKAY. WHAT I'VE READ ABOUT PATIO HOMES IS THEY SOMETIMES DO, SOMETIMES DON'T. THEY'RE TYPICALLY ONE STORY. BUT I SEE THE THINKING THERE. BUT THEN WITH TOWNHOMES, THEY THEY ALWAYS SHARE ONE OR MORE WALLS WITH NEIGHBORS, RIGHT? SO PATIO HOME, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S, IT SEEMS LIKE ONE. IF NOT, IF YOU'RE MAKING A VENN DIAGRAM OF PATIO HOMES AND TOWNHOMES, IT DOESN'T ENCOMPASS WHAT A TOWNHOME IS. AND THERE MIGHT BE A CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE I WANT TO SAY, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF APPROVING TOWNHOMES FOR THIS AREA, BUT I MIGHT BE OKAY WITH THE PATIO HOME AND VICE VERSA. I DON'T I DON'T KNOW THAT LUMPING THOSE ALL INTO ONE CATEGORY IS BENEFICIAL FROM A ZONING STANDPOINT AS I SEE IT.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? NO IT DOES. IT'S JUST RIGHT NOW THEY ARE THEY'RE ALREADY LUMPED IN TOGETHER. SO YOUR ZERO LOT LINE SOMETIMES CAN EVEN SHARE A COMMON WALL. BUT THEY ARE SOLD INDIVIDUALLY. IT'S LIKE PEOPLE WHO OWN CONDOS, THEY HAVE PRIVATE OWNERS. SO IF YOU GO INTO THE DEFINITIONS, THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT VARIETIES. WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT PATIO AND TOWNHOME, GARDEN HOMES ARE GENERALLY THE SMALLER HOUSES. WE WERE. IT JUST GOT VERY CONFUSING IN THE LAST COUPLE OF ZONE CASES THAT WE'VE HAD, BECAUSE THE ZONING USE IS TITLED TOWNHOUSE. YEAH. AND THAT'S NOT WHAT WAS BEING PROPOSED. SO WE CAN LOOK AT SEPARATING. WELL, MY THOUGHT IS JUST THAT, YOU KNOW, LET'S SAY WE HAVE A PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AND YOU PRESENTED AS PATIO HOMES AND WE APPROVED THE ZONING FOR PATIO HOMES AND WE APPROVE IT THINKING, OKAY, THAT'S A LITTLE BIT LESS DENSE THAN THE HOMES ALL CONNECTED TOGETHER, YOU KNOW, ALL BEING SHARING WALLS. AND WE GO, OKAY, WE LIKE THE PATIO HOMES. WE MIGHT HAVE APPROVED TOWNHOMES. WE WOULD APPROVE PETTY HOMES UNDER THIS DESIGNATION. THEY COULD STILL BUILD TOWNHOMES UNDER THAT PATIO HOMES DESIGNATION. SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? THAT'S WHY I THINK THE DESIGNATION IS IMPORTANT, BECAUSE WE MIGHT APPROVE ONE AND NOT THE OTHER, AND NOT HAVE THAT OPTION TO DO SO. AND I'M JUST JUST TO REITERATE THE WAY IT STANDS NOW. THEY'RE ALL GROUPED TOGETHER NOW. YEAH. SO YOU THEY DON'T HAVE DIFFERENT OPTIONS ONCE YOU GET THAT ZONING BECAUSE IT IS THE ZONING FOR THAT PARTICULAR. WAS IT A ZERO LOT LINE? WAS IT TOWNHOME? SURE. ZERO LOT LINE. WAS IT TOWNHOME ATTACHED? WAS IT DETACHED? WELL, I THINK THIS MAYBE HIGHLIGHTS THE NEED TO MAKE A CHANGE IN THAT AREA. SO WE KIND OF UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S A LITTLE MORE GRANULAR. SO I THINK WHAT MAYOR PRO TEM IS ASKING IS, IS THERE A WAY TO SEPARATE AND DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE TWO, OR DO WE HAVE TO? LUMP ALL OF THOSE TOGETHER? YOU YOU DON'T HAVE TO. WE CAN DEFINITELY PUT TOGETHER AND ADD A SECTION SO THAT YOU HAVE PATIO HOME AND YOU HAVE TOWNHOME SLASH DUPLEX. THE TRICKY PART IS GOING TO BE Y'ALL SITTING DOWN AND DECIDING WHERE YOU WANT THE DIFFERENCES, BECAUSE WHAT WE HAVE IS DEVELOPERS WHO COME IN AND THEY JUST WANT TO ASK QUESTIONS. AND

[00:50:04]

BECAUSE TO ME, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE IT'S JUST ADDING ONE MORE CATEGORY PATIO HOME CATEGORY, TOWNHOME CATEGORY. I DON'T THINK THAT'S IT'S LIKE, BUT THE, THE WAY WE HAVE, LIKE WE, I DON'T WANT US TO HAVE 100 ORDINANCES WHEN WE CAN HAVE TWO. AND THIS IS JUST ONE THAT CAN.

WHEN THE DEVELOPER COMES TO YOU, TO THE STAFF, THEN THE STAFF CAN DELINEATE WHICH OF IT IS.

SO WHEN IT'S PRESENTED TO US, WE HAVE A SPECIFIC. UNDER PATIO HOMES. THIS IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT VERSUS CREATING TOO MUCH PAPERWORK, I SEE THAT, BUT BUT THE PUTTING EVERY ALL THESE HOME TYPES UNDER THIS ONE CATEGORY CALLED PATIO HOMES, THEN IT, IT TAKES AWAY OUR ABILITY TO, TO ZONE DISTINCTIVELY FOR EACH TYPE. OR WE COULD SAY, YES, I WANT TO APPROVE THE OPTION FOR PATIO HOMES HERE, BUT I DON'T REALLY WANT TOWNHOMES HERE. SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? BECAUSE WE'RE PUTTING IT ALL UNDER ONE CATEGORY. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? WELL, IT DOES, BUT YES, IT DOES. HOWEVER, THAT IS A DISCUSSION WE CAN HAVE WHEN IT COMES BEFORE US INSTEAD OF CHANGING AN ORDINANCE. SO WE HAVE TWO INSTEAD OF ONE AND. WE SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS WELL. SO IN A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, DO WE WANT TOWNHOMES IN A CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOOD AND. WELL, I MEANT IN A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. IF IT SPECIFICALLY SAYS YOU'RE GOING TO DO. GARDEN HOMES, THEN YOU HAVE TO DO GARDEN HOME. YEAH. AND A P D. RIGHT. BUT IF IT'S JUST A ZONING THAT YOU'RE CHANGING, THEY HAVE AN OPTION OF ANY OF THOSE. RIGHT. AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE CONCERN IS FROM DISTRICT FIVE OVER HERE IS THAT IT'S TWO. OPEN FOR INTERPRETATION RATHER THAN WHEN HE WHEN WE AS A COUNCIL DECIDE WE WANT. A CERTAIN PRODUCT ON THAT, WE DON'T WANT TO GIVE THE DEVELOPER THE OPTION TO, TO CHANGE THAT. RIGHT. IS THAT

[00:55:03]

[6. BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS]

AND THERE IS THERE ARE TWO APPLICATIONS IN THE PACKET, AND THIS FALLS UNDER THE OVERSIGHT OF MORONI VELASQUEZ, COUNCILWOMAN. IT. MY MY REQUEST OF CITY STAFF WOULD BE TO BRING BACK THIS ITEM AGAIN FOR THE NEXT MEETING FOR THE FOR THE LAST APPOINTMENT. BUT TODAY I DO HAVE A HANDFUL OF APPOINTMENTS. GO AHEAD AND MAKE THAT MAYOR.

[7. DISCUSSION ITEMS]

I'M. I'M HERE TO BRAG ON. DIMITRI WON'T BRAG ON HERSELF, SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I GET TO TELL Y'ALL HOW EXCITING THIS IS WHAT SHE AND CHRIS WALKER HAVE WORKED TO PUT TOGETHER AN ENTIRE CITY PROPERTIES MOWING BID. SO THERE IS A LINK TO AN ONLINE MAP WHERE IF YOU HOVER OVER THE PROPERTY, IT LETS YOU KNOW EXACTLY THE ACREAGE, IT LETS YOU KNOW THE NUMBER OF CYCLES. SO I'M GONNA LET HER TALK ABOUT IT. BUT THE WORK THAT WENT INTO

[01:00:06]

AWESOME. GOOD WORK. THANK YOU RAYLAN. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL. AS RAYLAN HAS STATED, WE DO HAVE THIS INTERACTIVE MAP WHICH HAVE OVER 150. I THINK WE'RE LIKE 165 OBJECTS THAT ARE ON THIS MAP. THERE IS A SPREADSHEET THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MAP. SO WHENEVER WE GO OUT FOR BID, THIS LINK WILL BE PUBLIC. THEY WILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS THIS AND MATCH IT UP WITH THE SPREADSHEET SO THAT THEY CAN GET THE DESCRIPTION. BUT IF YOU HOVER OVER, AS YOU SAID, IT GIVES YOU INFORMATION OF THE LOCATION. WE HAVE CLEARLY IDENTIFIED THE STARTING AND END POINTS FOR OUR MOWING, SO THAT IT'S TRANSPARENT AND MAKES IT EASY FOR BID PREPARATION. WHEN OUR VENDORS ARE GETTING READY TO BE IT. SO CITY STAFF IS PREPARING TO SOLICIT PROPOSALS FOR MOWING AND REFUSE REMOVAL SERVICES TO SUPPORT MAINTENANCE OF CITY OWNED PROPERTIES AND CODE ABATEMENT EFFORTS. THESE SERVICES SERVICES ARE VERY ESSENTIAL FOR MAINTAINING PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND COMMUNITY APPEARANCE. THIS NEW AND INTERACTIVE MAPPING TOOL, WHICH IS GIS BASED, HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO CLEARLY IDENTIFY PROPERTIES AND SERVICE AREAS WHICH IS INCLUDED IN THE RFP. THIS TOOL IS INTENDED TO IMPROVE TRANSPARENCY, ASSIST VENDORS AND PREPARING ACCURATE BIDS, AND ENHANCE THE CITY'S ABILITY TO EVALUATE SERVICE COVERAGE AND COSTS. THE MAPPING TOOL IS. IT OUTLINES THE AREAS INCLUDED IN RFP FOR VENDOR PRICING. THE PROPOSED CONTRACT STRUCTURE IS A THREE YEAR TERM WITH THE OPTION TO UTILIZE MULTIPLE VENDORS TO ENSURE FLEXIBILITY, RESPONSIVENESS, AND ADEQUATE SERVICE COVERAGE. I'M SORRY. THANK YOU. DON. THE RESULTS OF THE RFP PROCESS WILL BE USED TO INFORM BUDGETING FOR FISCAL YEARS 2027 THROUGH 2029, ESTABLISHING UNIT PRICING THROUGH THIS PROCESS WILL ALLOW THE CITY TO BETTER PROJECT COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ONGOING MAINTENANCE, CODE AND CODE COMPLIANCE ACTIVITIES. SO OUR NEXT STEPS FOR THIS RFP IS TO PUBLICIZE IT ON THIS FRIDAY. AND THEN WE HAVE A DEADLINE FOR QUESTIONS THAT'S MAY 8TH BY 5 P.M. AND THEN WE'LL HAVE A PRE-BID MEETING ON APRIL THE 22ND HERE AT 4 P.M. AND THEN THE ACTUAL BID OPENING WILL BE ON MAY 21ST AT 2 P.M. HERE IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS. SO WE'RE HOPING TO GET THESE NUMBERS BACK AND COME BACK TO YOU TO SHOW YOU WHAT THOSE UNIT PRICES ARE. IF YOU'VE GONE THROUGH THE RFP, YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE ARE NOT CYCLES THAT ARE MENTIONED, BECAUSE WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY TO PAUSE SERVICES IF WE NEED TO DUE TO BUDGET REASONS. WOW. THAT'S WONDERFUL. I LONG TIME NEEDED. WE'RE DEFINITELY MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. WHEN WE GET A REPORT LIKE THIS AND DOCUMENTATION LIKE THIS. GREAT JOB. THANK YOU. ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO. WELL, ONE ONE QUESTION. WELL, BUT BEFORE MY QUESTION, I WAS JUST TAKEN BACK BY THE NUMBER OF WHETHER IT'S LIKE CITY RIGHT AWAY OR CITY LOTS. JUST ALL THE ABOVE ON, ON THIS MAP. I'M JUST WONDERING LIKE, IS IT, IS IT TYPICAL? MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I JUST SAW SO MANY ON HERE AND I WASN'T EXPECTING IT. BUT IS IT TYPICAL TO HAVE LIKE PER THIS MUCH AS PART OF A CITY? I MEAN, I FEEL LIKE QUITE A BIT OF IT IS LIKE CITY RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE OF THE ROADS AND THE NUMBER OF HIGHWAYS THAT WE HAVE. IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE WE HAVE MANY, MANY PROPERTIES THAT ARE ARE VACANT. JUST I DON'T KNOW, I'M A LITTLE TAKEN BACK. SO IT'S NOT UNCOMMON. YOU'VE GOT STREET RIGHT AWAY, DRAINAGE EASEMENTS.

IT IT'S, IT'S A LOT OF PROPERTY, BUT IT'S A LOT OF PROPERTY THAT AGAIN, THE CITY OWNS AND MAINTAINS IT'S, YOU KNOW, PUTTING A SPECIFIC NUMBER TO IT. MAYBE 165 IS HIGH, MAYBE IT'S NOT, BUT IT'S NOT UNREASONABLE FOR A CITY TO HAVE A NUMBER OF PIECES OF PROPERTY LIKE THAT, THAT IT'S MAINTAINING. OKAY, NOW, I'M GLAD THAT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF WORK WENT INTO THIS AND IT WE SHOULD HOLD OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE AS A CITY. AND IF WE'RE ASKING OUR RESIDENTS AS WELL TO MAINTAIN THEIR PROPERTIES, TO ALSO HAVE THE CITY MAINTAIN THEIR. SO THANK

[01:05:04]

ANYONE ELSE? I JUST WANT TO SAY I'M SO IMPRESSED BY THIS. I THINK IT'S SO NEEDED. I THINK IT'S A GREAT FIRST STEP TOWARD US GETTING TO A POSITION WHERE WE WE CAN MAINTAIN OUR CITY, CITY OWNED AREAS MUCH MORE EFFICIENTLY. I DO WANT TO KIND OF ASK, THERE'S A POINT OF CLARITY. SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE RFP THAT ARE ISSUED, ARE WE ABLE TO IF WE HAVE LIKE, SAY A LOCAL LANDSCAPING COMPANY, CAN THEY LOOK AT THIS MAP AND SAY, I WANT TO BID ON NUMBER 56, JUST THAT ONE. AND THEN SO WE CAN, WE CAN KIND OF PROMOTE THIS AS A, YOU KNOW, A WAY TO KIND OF GET PEOPLE MORE INVOLVED AS WELL, RIGHT? IF YOU WANT THIS MOWING CONTRACT, BE HERE ON THIS DATE AND COME AND BID ON THIS PARTICULAR BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I DO GET QUESTIONS A LOT ABOUT PEOPLE WANTING TO EVEN VOLUNTEER TO MOW CERTAIN AREAS. SO IT'S GREAT THAT WE HAVE A PROCESS IN PLACE TO KIND OF SAY, SOMEBODY SAYS, HEY, I WANT TO MOW THIS. WELL, YOU CAN BID ON IT NOW. AND IF YOU GET THE BID, YOU GET PAID FOR IT TOO. RIGHT? SO YES, AND IT IS OUTLINED WHERE FOR LANDSCAPE SERVICES, FOR INSTANCE, FOR THOSE THAT MAY JUST BE INTERESTED IN MAINTAINING THE FLOWER BEDS, IT'S SEPARATED IN THE RFP. OKAY. THERE'S A LINK WITHIN THE WORKSHEET. I MEAN WITHIN THE RFP THAT WILL TAKE YOU TO THOSE WORKSHEETS SO THAT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THOSE SPREADSHEETS THAT THE BIDDERS WILL USE WHEN THEY'RE PREPARING THEIR BIDS. HOW ARE WE PUBLICIZING THIS TO GET THE WORD OUT TO LOCAL LANDSCAPING VENDORS? IT WILL BE PUBLISHED ON OUR WEBSITE. AND THEN WE HAVE A SERVICE THAT WE WILL UTILIZE THAT WILL KIND OF GET MR. MILLS TO HELP ME OUT WITH THE NAME OF THE GROUP THAT WE GROUP, BUT THE SITE THAT WE WILL BE USING TO PUBLICIZE THIS, THERE'S A PRODUCT OUT THERE.

IT'S FREE, FREE FOR USE BY CITIES, USED IT IN THE PAST AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. IT'S CALLED PUBLIC PURCHASE. OKAY. VENDORS GO OUT THERE AND THEY REGISTER WITH IT. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, JUST FOR EXAMPLE, YOU MOWING AND ANYBODY THAT'S REGISTERED TO RECEIVE INFORMATION ON MOWING BIDS AUTOMATICALLY BE NOTIFIED WHETHER THEY'RE LOCAL, WHETHER THEY'RE IN HOUSTON, WHETHER THEY'RE IN NEBRASKA, WHOEVER HAS REGISTERED FOR IT. IT'S PRETTY USEFUL FOR, FOR THINGS THAT FOR, FOR PRODUCTS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S ADVERTISED IN THE PAPER AND ON OUR WEBSITE FOR FOR THE LOCAL FIRMS, BUT WE NEED TO START PUTTING INFORMATION OUT THERE BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO START TO USE THIS MORE, BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO EXPAND THE NUMBER OF OPPORTUNITIES THAT VENDORS HAVE AND OPEN US UP TO A WIDER VARIETY. OKAY. TO SHARE OUR RFP. OKAY, GREAT. TWO MORE QUESTIONS. HOW DO WE, IF WE DO SOMEONE SAY, WINS A BID TO MOW SOME PARTICULAR NUMBER, HOW DO WE HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE TO KEEP IT MOWED IF THEY DON'T UPHOLD THEIR, YOU KNOW, THEIR BID AND GO AHEAD AND DO IT? WHAT DO WE DO? SO WE WILL HAVE STAFF THAT IS ASSIGNED TO CERTAIN AREAS FOR EXAMPLES LIKE CITY LOTS, THOSE INDIVIDUALS WILL BE REQUIRED TO MONITOR THAT. SO AND THE THE BIDDER, WHO IS WHOEVER IS AWARDED TO. THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR SENDING US BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES OF THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE. SO WE'LL BE TREATED MORE OF LIKE A PAY APPLICATION REQUEST. SO ONCE THEY SUBMIT THEIR INVOICE, OUR STAFF WILL VERIFY THAT THE WORK HAS BEEN DONE. MAKE SURE ALL THE BOXES ARE CHECKED OFF, THAT IT MEETS THE CITY EXPECTATIONS, SO THAT THEN WE CAN PROCESS THE PAYMENT LIKE A BIG WORKLOAD TO MONITOR ALL THESE PICTURES BEING SENT IN OF

[01:10:02]

THEY'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR A YEAR AND A HALF. THEY GO OUT OF BUSINESS. HOW DO THEY GO ABOUT DOING THAT? THEY HAVE THERE'S A CLAUSE FOR THEY HAVE A 30 DAY. THEY HAVE TO GIVE US A NOTICE, 30 DAY NOTICE PRIOR TO ENDING THAT SERVICE. OKAY. OKAY, GREAT. THAT'S AWESOME. IS THERE THERE'S 160 IDENTIFIED LOCATIONS, RIGHT? YES. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANYONE ELSE? LOW MAINTENANCE. I HEAR YOU. RIGHT. ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? YES, MA'AM. BECAUSE I NOTICED THAT THERE'S SOME RIGHT OF WAYS BOTH INSTALLING ADDITION NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEN ALSO IN THE KING'S CREEK NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME SOME MOWING THAT'S GOING TO BE DONE. THERE ARE ALSO NEIGHBORHOOD ENTRANCE SIGNS THAT ARE ARE THERE, COULD THIS RFP INCLUDE OR YOU KNOW, THAT THE DIRECTION FROM, FROM, FROM CITIES OR ANYTHING, YOU KNOW, LIKE CITY ATTORNEY OR STAFF THAT PREVENTS US FROM ALSO MAKING SURE LIKE THEY GET POWER WASHED AS PART OF LIKE THIS RFP PROCESS, THOSE NEIGHBORHOOD ENTRANCE SIGNS, IT WOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD UNLESS IT'S ON CITY OWNED PROPERTY, EVEN IF IT'S ON LIKE CITY RIGHT AWAY. AND IT'S NOT HOA. IF IT'S CITY PROPERTY, WE WOULD MAINTAIN IT.

IF IT'S NOT CITY PROPERTY, THEN THE, THE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE, FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE JUST, JUST FOR CLARITY ON THE MAP HERE, IF I'M LOOKING AT STALIN'S ADDITIONS, THE NORTH ENTRANCE ON ON GARDENER 151 IT SAYS CITY RIGHT AWAY AND IT'S TITLED AS STALIN SUBDIVISION SIGN. AND SO WE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT LOCATION. WE HAVE BEEN MAINTAINING THE, THE MOWING, MAKING SURE THAT IT STAYS CLEAN. BUT I DO NOT THINK WE HAVE IDENTIFIED ANYTHING AS FAR AS POWER WASHING THE SIGN. SO I GUESS I'M JUST I'M NOT CLEAR ON WHAT THAT SIGN BE THE CITY'S RESPONSIBILITY. IF IT'S SITTING ON THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT'S ON THE MAP, I WOULD HAVE TO DO RESEARCH TO TO CHECK THAT. IF IT'S NOT CITY PROPERTY, WE SHOULD NOT BE MAINTAINING IT, INCLUDING CITY RIGHT AWAY. THAT'S NOT CITY. IF WE DON'T OWN THE PROPERTY, WE SHOULD NOT BE MAINTAINING IT. IF IT HAS TO BE LISTED AS CITY PROPERTY, NOT CITY RIGHT AWAY IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, MARK. RAYLAN, DO WE OWN THE RIGHT OF WAY? NO, WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO USE IT, BUT WE DON'T KNOW RIGHT AWAY IF IT'S SITTING ON TEMPLES CITY RIGHT AWAY. IT'S NOT A STATE RIGHT AWAY. SO WE OWN THE LAND. THEN WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING IT. OKAY. RIGHT AWAY IS DIFFERENT BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO DEPEND ON WHO OWNS THE LAND, NOT JUST WHO HAS RIGHTS. WE WOULD HAVE TO RESEARCH. OKAY, I WOULD YEAH. I WILL FOLLOW UP VIA EMAIL WITH WITH BOTH ON THOSE SPECIFIC PROPERTIES OR SIGNS. THANK YOU. SO WHAT HAPPENS TO THE NUMBERS THAT NO ONE BIDS ON? WE JUST KEEP WE MAINTAIN THEM. WHAT? WHO DOES IT THEN? SO I MEAN, LIKE WHAT WE'RE GOING OUT FOR BID. THEY JUST KEEP GROWING. NO, WE HAVE CONTRACTS. OKAY. YEAH. YES. AND OUR CURRENT CONTRACT WOULD KEEP MOWING THOSE UNTIL SOMEONE BIDS ON. YES. GOTCHA. YES. GREAT ONE. IDEALLY WE'RE NOT BREAKING THIS DOWN INTO 27, 27 DIFFERENT VENDORS THAT WOULD BE ADMINISTRATIVELY UNFEASIBLE TO MANAGE. SO I THINK WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET IN A LOT OF CASES IS VERY LARGE CHUNKS OF PROPERTY THAT THAT FALL INTO A RESPONSE. IF TEN DIFFERENT PROPERTIES. AND WE WOULD KIND OF SEGMENT THOSE UP INTO WHO I REALLY THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE INDIVIDUALS BIDDING ON MORE THAN TEN PIECES OF PROPERTY, YOU WOULDN'T JUST HAVE A GUY SAYING, I'LL JUST MOW NUMBER 30, TAKE ALL THE EASY ONES. I CANNOT MANAGE 16 DIFFERENT MOWING VENDORS. YEAH. GOTCHA. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOOD.

THE NEW QUOTES, WHICH INCLUDE SOME SHORING AND A LITTLE BIT ADDITIONAL WORK BECAUSE WE KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE KIND OF A HAZARD LOCATION. AND JUST WORKING WITH THE TIMELINE. IN SPEAKING WITH CHIEF LACROIX, WE THINK THAT IT WOULD BE BETTER IF WE WAITED UNTIL FIRE STATION THREE WAS OPEN. THAT WAY, WE DON'T HAVE THE COST OF ANY
