Again,

44
00:17:01,279 --> 00:17:06,240
we have before us on the floor is a
public hearing. The public hearing is to

45
00:17:04,559 --> 00:17:11,360
receive comment on the proposed tax rate
of.70635

46
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:15,600
cents per $100 evaluation for the fiscal
year 2026 through 2027 for the city of

47
00:17:13,839 --> 00:17:18,559
Alvin. If you would like to be heard,
please come forward. Come to the podium.

48
00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:23,120
Say your name and address.
>> Tim Klene. I live at 280 East Adu. I

49
00:17:21,360 --> 00:17:25,520
signed up for the public uh comment
section, but

50
00:17:23,919 --> 00:17:27,039
» that's a separate if you'd like to
that's a separate section if you'd like

51
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,840
to. But
>> the tax rate was one of the things.

52
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,160
Would you like to comment on that? Now
>> have at it.

53
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:37,600
» Okay. First and foremost, thank you for
y'all's service, be it police officers,

54
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:42,080
city employees, or councilman. Uh uh if
you review the city website, it mentions

55
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:46,880
the decrease in the tax rate over the
years. And uh I appreciative of that. Uh

56
00:17:44,799 --> 00:17:52,320
I do believe on this time around there's
been a lack of information about what

57
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:57,840
this tax uh increase would be going for
and uh I think uh that anytime there's

58
00:17:54,960 --> 00:18:02,080
an increase. I like to vote and I don't
see my opportunity to vote yes or no, up

59
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:06,320
or down. I tried to keep an eye on the
paper to see if it would list out what

60
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:09,840
we were in need of in the city of Alvin
and why we needed this tax rate. I might

61
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:14,559
have missed it, but I feel like there's
been a communication uh breakdown on

62
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:20,559
this one, and I'd love to vote on every
tax rate. I know that some are below the

63
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:26,520
uh limit that requires that, but as a
citizen of Alvin, I'd like to vote on

64
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,520
all those. Thank you for your time.

65
00:18:33,679 --> 00:18:41,640
» Is there anyone else who would like to
come forward?

66
00:18:37,679 --> 00:18:41,640
We've got someone coming in

67
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:50,240
again. We've got a public hearing to
discuss the public tax rate. For those

68
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:53,360
who who just joined us, we've got a
public hearing that's open. If you would

69
00:18:51,919 --> 00:18:58,280
like to comment on the proposed tax
rate, uh please come forward and do so,

70
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,280
sir.

71
00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:08,320
Okay. Going once, going twice. All
right. There being no other folks coming

72
00:19:06,559 --> 00:19:14,480
forward, we will close the the session
at 7:04 p.m. And uh sir, our our CFO is

73
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:17,520

manager. We've got if you guys questions

74
00:19:15,919 --> 00:19:21,360
and we'd be they'd be happy to I can't
Where did you go? There you are.

75
00:19:20,018 --> 00:19:25,760
[laughter] We'll be happy to answer any
questions you do have before the end of

76
00:19:22,799 --> 00:19:29,760
the night. Um next we'll move forward
for for public comment. Um

77
00:19:28,533 --> 00:19:33,160
[clears throat] Mr. Klein, would you
like to come back?

78
00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:43,919
Thank you. I I had put all my thoughts
together uh all at one time uh uh simply

79
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:48,160
because I thought they wrapped together
well. Uh recently, I guess the last year

80
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:52,960
and a half, I've been able to attend
four four or five city council meetings

81
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:56,559
and uh just kind of trying to observe
what's going on in the city, trying to

82
00:19:54,480 --> 00:20:02,400
understand it. I've lived on Adoo Street
there for 29 years and uh over the years

83
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:06,480
I've uh had a couple of small issues and
the city's been very responsive. But I

84
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:11,280
came to one meeting and it was y'all
were discussing the AI and I think

85
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:15,919
Representative Daiser you mentioned that
uh you said something that got my

86
00:20:12,559 --> 00:20:22,080
attention that was that uh you do your
research and that we can trust you

87
00:20:19,039 --> 00:20:25,919
and uh for me it's uh trust with
verification

88
00:20:23,919 --> 00:20:30,640
and I'm having some lack of verification
in a few areas for instance uh the

89
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:35,120
quality water that's coming out of my
pipe has been the same for 29 years and

90
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:38,880
about 10 years ago, I quit calling the
city of Alvin to say, "Hey, I've got a

91
00:20:37,039 --> 00:20:42,960
lot of debris in my pipe." Because they
would open up the fire hydrant and flush

92
00:20:40,559 --> 00:20:46,799
it, and then my screens on my faucets
would clog up and such. And I hired a

93
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:52,000
plumber and cut my lines open and made
sure that my copper and my PVC lines

94
00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:56,240
didn't have debris in them. And so, uh,
uh, for me, as I pay a higher water bill

95
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:59,360
each year, I kind of look to see, has
have things gotten any better? And it

96
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:03,919
looks to me like that higher water bill
I'm having to pay is just to keep what

97
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:09,520
I'm getting, which is water with a lot
of debris in it. And uh if you were to

98
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:12,320
say to me, hey, that falls back to you,
Tim. Yeah, it is partially my

99
00:21:11,039 --> 00:21:16,400
responsibility. That's why I have
filters on things and such like that.

100
00:21:13,919 --> 00:21:21,840
But I'll be brief. Uh my other issue is
crime and safety living on East Adu. Uh

101
00:21:19,919 --> 00:21:25,760
in the past a number of times the city
has set up the speed limit signs the uh

102
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:31,039
police officers have and they've ramped
up the amount of uh of uh patrols they

103
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:34,960
do because people treat ADU street as a
racetrack. They turn off a Gordon Street

104
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:38,720
and they're up to 45 50 miles an hour by
the time they get to the bridge. And uh

105
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:42,799
this summer it was extremely high and I
got to witness my neighbors 11year-old

106
00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:45,679
head towards the street for a ball with
a truck coming 40 miles an hour from

107
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:49,440
Gordon Street. So I thought you know
what it's worth coming down here. in the

108
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:53,440
past when I've come uh one other time I
spoke what I spoke about y'all were all

109
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:56,640
over and I was very appreciative of that
the police department got all over the

110
00:21:54,799 --> 00:22:01,360
issue at the park which is my other
issue dealing with a high level of

111
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:05,760
mental instability and homelessness on
that end of East Ad Street the park and

112
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:10,080
then the church that gives out free food
and then the church on house street that

113
00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:13,600
lets them sleep on the front sidewalk on
a regular basis when I'm outside I'm

114
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:16,960
being approached by mentally unstable
people and people who are living out of

115
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:20,159
their backpack and neither Neither one
of those issues are easy. If they were

116
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:26,080
easy, y'all would have solved them a
long time ago. But as my representative

117
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:29,360
representatives here, I am asking you to
consider what you can do because that

118
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:33,120
part of town is being pounded. We've got
the bio, we've got the park, we got the

119
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:37,120
church giving out free food. We got the
church letting them people sleep on

120
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:41,360
sidewalks. And so those are my issues
and uh I'm thankful that I can come

121
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,720
before you and uh uh mention them. Thank
you.

122
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,880
» Thank you.
>> Thank you.

123
00:22:47,600 --> 00:23:00,039
Amy, will you get his number?
Um, next we have uh David Corland.

124
00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:00,039
David, you like to come forward, please?

125
00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:11,520
» Mayor Adami, members of the council, my
name is David Carlin. I'm 24 years old.

126
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:17,120
I'm married with three wonderful
children. I'm a disabled veteran and I

127
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:22,400
hold a degree in political science.
I am new to the city of Alvin and so are

128
00:23:20,159 --> 00:23:26,640
3,000 of my neighbors who have arrived
since 2020.

129
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:31,280
I've been told that this is a reason to
stay quiet.

130
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:36,080
I see it differently. I believe it is
the patriotic duty of every American,

131
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:41,039
young and old, to a new city or not, to
be involved in the political process we

132
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:44,480
hold dear to our hearts.
Being an American citizen who believes

133
00:23:42,559 --> 00:23:49,120
in our constitutional rights, in good
financial management, and in making the

134
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:55,360
lives of those around us better is not
bound to any one city.

135
00:23:52,159 --> 00:23:59,120
So over the summer, I pulled that belief
or I put that belief to work. I reviewed

136
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:02,559
every budget the city has posted since
2006,

137
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:09,440
every audited financial report since
1997, 237 ordinances and resolutions,

138
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:14,000
about 320 sets of council minutes, 27
council packets, the city charter, both

139
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:19,120
charter review reports, the election
register back to 1980, and every flood

140
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:26,960
insurance claim ever filed in this zip
code. Before I begin, Mayor,

141
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:31,200
you and I both follow Christ, I assume.
So let me start there. I forgive you for

142
00:24:29,679 --> 00:24:35,039
what was said about my family this week
and I ask your forgiveness for anything

143
00:24:32,799 --> 00:24:40,120
I have said that has come across as a
personal attack to you and it was not

144
00:24:36,799 --> 00:24:40,120
meant to be.

145
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,400
As brothers in Christ, we should be
working to advance the kingdom of God

146
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:48,799
rather than attacking each other
personally in public the way so many

147
00:24:47,120 --> 00:24:52,159
politicians do. And I hope we can be
reconciled.

148
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:56,080
That being said, I have significant
concerns about the trajectory of this

149
00:24:53,760 --> 00:25:01,279
city and the burden it is placing on
taxpayers. I will be raising children

150
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:05,120
here for what looks to be 15 more years.
So, I have a real stake in the

151
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:08,880
well-being of this city. In the last
three years, Alvin's debt has rose

152
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:14,480
36.8%.
The water and sewer minimum rose 38.3%

153
00:25:12,799 --> 00:25:22,080
across four ordinances bearing your
signature. The tax levy rose 23% while

154
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:27,200
you advertised the rate cut.
The share of your budget allocated to

155
00:25:23,679 --> 00:25:31,679
paying debt rose 67%. And while all of
that was happening, the general fund

156
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:37,440
reserve went down from 10.5 million to a
projected 8.2 million. Now, on the July

157
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:41,480
2023 variance,
I would like to propose an amendment.

158
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:49,440
Any requests for a sex offender
residency variance would require notice

159
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:53,760
to the school district and to every
household within 1,000 ft, a posted

160
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:58,000
public hearing at least two weeks before
the vote, and a written finding by the

161
00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:01,840
council explaining why the exception is
justified, and five votes of the seven

162
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:06,400
council members rather than a bare
majority decided by a tiebreak. A rule

163
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:09,919
written to protect children should not
be set aside on a three to three vote

164
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:14,000
with the school and the parents in the
affected area never formally notified.

165
00:26:12,799 --> 00:26:18,880
Thank you and I hope we can work
together.

166
00:26:15,679 --> 00:26:23,760
» Thank you, sir. Next, we will move to
the consent agenda. Uh, starting over

167
00:26:21,279 --> 00:26:25,760

00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:35,679
» Nope. No mayor. Then we will entertain a
motion for the consent agenda.

172
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:38,080

agenda as published.

173
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:41,720

195
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:14,880
business, we have first item A, consider
resolution 26R31,

196
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:18,399
approving addendum number five to the
contract for refuse collection and

197
00:28:16,799 --> 00:28:21,919
disposal services between the city of
Alvin and Texas Pride disposal,

198
00:28:20,399 --> 00:28:27,159
authorizing the mayor to execute the
addendum and setting forth other matters

199
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,159
related thereto.

200
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:38,320
» Good evening, mayor, council. Um
before you tonight is a uh proposal to

201
00:28:36,559 --> 00:28:45,440
um
amend our current uh contract with Texas

202
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:52,799
Pride. Um this is a contractual
um option in in our current contract

203
00:28:49,039 --> 00:28:59,120
with them. Um, it's based on a CPI
blended rate between the an annual CPI

204
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:07,039
12-month average um of the surrounding
area as well as um the opportunity for

205
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:15,279
adjustments based on cost to dispose of
the trash. So, um, what Texas, um, Pride

206
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:24,880
has proposed is a little over 6%
increase to to our trash, um, bill. Um,

207
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:30,159
the city is has been made aware of that.
We have included that in our current

208
00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:36,320
budget and at this time we are not um,
planning to go pass that cost on to the

209
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:43,600
citizens. Um so the city will be using
um reserve funds to kind of offset that

210
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:48,880
that increase. Um
we are entering the final year of the

211
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:53,520
contract. Um we're having internal
discussions now as far as what what

212
00:29:51,600 --> 00:30:01,039
steps we'll
take after this. But uh for now before

213
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:04,880
you the 6% is being proposed and I'll be
happy to answer any questions. I know

214
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:08,159
Texas Pride has a representative here if
y'all have any questions for her as

215
00:30:06,399 --> 00:30:10,320
well.
>> I have some questions.

216
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:16,640
» Okay.
>> Okay. So, um I see that the 6% increase

217
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:23,919
is based on a combination of three
things. The CPIU, the fuel adjustment,

218
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:29,200
and then a 3.6% increase cited as a
requested operating adjustment pursuant

219
00:30:26,159 --> 00:30:34,480
to section 11 number four. So, I looked
at section 114.

220
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:38,320
Um, and so I'm just wondering, uh,
because from the letter from Republic

221
00:30:36,399 --> 00:30:44,720
Pride disposal,
um, it just generally states that

222
00:30:41,679 --> 00:30:50,640
the cost to use the landfill would be
going up. And so I'm just wondering

223
00:30:47,679 --> 00:30:55,760
where the 3.6% figure actually what
that's actually based on uh, numbers

224
00:30:53,016 --> 00:31:00,880
[clears throat] wise. Um and like the
difference between the initial landfill

225
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:05,279
and the subsequent landfill like I need
to know more about that.

226
00:31:02,159 --> 00:31:11,120
» Okay. Um I would assume that that three
3.6%

227
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:16,720
uh increase on the disposal is a a pass
on fee from the landfill to Texas Pride.

228
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:22,399
» Right. But I would Right. But I I'd like
to understand what it's actually being.

229
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,480
» Mike, can we have Texas Pride answer
these questions please?

230
00:31:23,679 --> 00:31:27,200
» Happy to do it.
>> Thank you.

231
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:32,080
» Hello everybody. Amy or No. Yes. So the
increase from Republic is not in the

232
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,240
actual increase is not in
>> Can you step up to the mic so people can

233
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,640
listen on?
>> Sure. Can you hear me now better?

234
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,919
» I just want to make sure the video can
pick you up.

235
00:31:37,279 --> 00:31:44,559
» So the actual increase was higher than
what we were asking for for the city of

236
00:31:41,679 --> 00:31:48,960
Alvin. We did not have them explicitly
state that because it wasn't I know all

237
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:53,440
of this goes into public records and
it's not something I wanted to share

238
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:58,080
what the total increase was. So we only
passed on a portion of the total.

239
00:31:56,399 --> 00:32:02,399
» But is it because you're not able to use
the same landfills?

240
00:31:59,679 --> 00:32:04,159
» No, no, no, no. It's just it's take it.
So,

241
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:09,600
» so then that's where I have a problem
because section 114 says in the event

242
00:32:07,519 --> 00:32:13,600
the contractor is unable to use the
initial landfill or any subsequent

243
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:18,320
landfill,
>> then you can increase the cost. You can

244
00:32:16,399 --> 00:32:20,960
ask us for an increase based on the
difference that you're going to have to

245
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:24,399
pay by [clears throat] not being able to
go to the initial landfill and having to

246
00:32:22,559 --> 00:32:27,360
go to the second landfill, right? So,
okay, I can't go there anymore. I have

247
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:30,480
to go here. There's a difference in
cost. It's going to cost more money.

248
00:32:29,039 --> 00:32:36,000
That makes sense to me, but that's not
what's happening here. And so I'm going

249
00:32:32,399 --> 00:32:43,440
to say that we should not pay the 3.6%
increase because it's not supported by

250
00:32:38,799 --> 00:32:48,000
the contract that we have and right now
that given the fact that it's going to

251
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:52,399
cost an extra $225,000 from our reserves
and we're voting on the budget today. I

252
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:56,440
don't think we can afford that. So my
position is that we vote no.

253
00:32:56,559 --> 00:33:02,960
» Okay. Can I do I have a second? Okay.
I'm just saying that I looked

254
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:06,480
» Sure. No, I understand what you're
saying. So, we base this

255
00:33:04,559 --> 00:33:08,880
» doesn't apply to the contract that we
have. Okay.

256
00:33:07,279 --> 00:33:12,320
» And we really can't afford it right now.
>> I completely understand where you're

257
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:16,159
coming from. So, just to give you a
little bit of clarification, the

258
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:20,399
landfill that we use for the city of
Alvin is routed that way because of

259
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:26,080
where you are in relation to that
landfill. If we don't get this increase

260
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:31,919
and we are forced to haul to another
landfill, just I just need everybody to

261
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:35,760
understand we use what is most efficient
to the city of Alvin to collect

262
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:40,000
everything in a timely manner and that
if there's ever special halls or

263
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:44,640
anything that needs to happen unique, we
get there quicker and we can get back on

264
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:48,640
route. So on heavy days after storms,
after spring break, and all the kids are

265
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:55,120
at home, spring clean, all of those
heavier days that that you know about or

266
00:33:51,919 --> 00:33:59,919
you don't, when my truck is full and I
leave the city of Alvin to go to a

267
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:05,279
different landfill that is 50 miles away
versus 20 miles away, it eats away at

268
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:08,159
the time that I'm in the city collecting
the trash.

269
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:13,040
» Right? I understand that. But what what
I'm simply pointing out is that section

270
00:34:10,639 --> 00:34:18,960
114 which is cited in the packet for
this agenda item does not apply to the

271
00:34:15,679 --> 00:34:22,720
situation that exists. Right? And so
because of that I think we need to maybe

272
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:26,480
table this and look at it a little bit
further before we can decide what that

273
00:34:24,639 --> 00:34:31,839
number should be because I saw the
number that Republic

274
00:34:28,240 --> 00:34:36,720
» put in the packet which was about 6% and
so randomly saying well we're just going

275
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:40,240
to ask you for 3.6 six and not really
tell you exactly why or what those

276
00:34:38,240 --> 00:34:45,440
numbers are based on. That doesn't work
for me. So, because it's not fitting

277
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:51,200
with the contract that we have, I'm
going to have to say no. But I'm not

278
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:55,520
opposed to revisiting it or amending the
lang or doing something that's going to

279
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:59,760
help us make it right for both parties.
So, I'm just saying as it's written

280
00:34:57,599 --> 00:35:02,560
today, I have to vote no. That's it.
>> Okay.

281
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:06,000
» Okay. I appreciate that. I'm going agree
with council member Daiser because as a

282
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:10,480
part of doing business and writing
contracts, I think you and your attorney

283
00:35:08,720 --> 00:35:15,680
should have considered that from the
original contract just because you your

284
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:19,920
company has to use an additional
landfill because you're full on heavy

285
00:35:17,359 --> 00:35:23,520
days, which aren't so often. I mean,
thank God we haven't had a huge storm in

286
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:28,079
a very long time and please God don't
give us another one. But if you know

287
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,960
that's an opportunity, that's a that's a
possibility to do that. you should have

288
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:37,920
incorporated that into the original
contract. I'm not comfortable with

289
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:41,520
giving an increase based on
what you just said right here. I

290
00:35:39,839 --> 00:35:45,599
understand the fuel. I get that. But the
fuel went down.

291
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:50,320
» So that's I get I get that. Um so I
agree with that. But I'm

292
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:54,000
» the contract spec specifically says if
you're unable to use that landfill and

293
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:57,839
right now which land you using?
>> Republic

294
00:35:54,800 --> 00:36:01,920
» which is which location? Uh, it depends
on the day and what we're hauling.

295
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,960
» Okay. So, you're still able to use it,
right?

296
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,240
» Yes.
>> Okay.

297
00:36:04,240 --> 00:36:10,560
» To me, it I mean, I'm not an attorney,
but that doesn't constitute a raise in

298
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:14,240
that in my in my opinion.
>> Okay. I I'll respect that.

299
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:18,240
» Yeah, I agree.
>> I I don't think we should table it

300
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:23,599
honestly because we are in our last year
of the contract and if they want to make

301
00:36:22,079 --> 00:36:27,839
that adjustment, they can do that when
they bring their new contract. But as

302
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:31,119
far as right now, the way it's written
and the situation we're in, I don't

303
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:34,320
think that adjustment should be made,
period. I don't think we should table

304
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:38,480
it. It doesn't matter what the real
number was from Republic for what she

305
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:41,520
didn't disclose. I mean, I I really
don't understand why you wouldn't want

306
00:36:39,599 --> 00:36:45,599
to put that out there because at the end
of the day, we vote on it to pay for

307
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:48,240
that. That's using our taxpayers money.
That's public record, but they should be

308
00:36:46,720 --> 00:36:52,400
able to see that. So, if they have
questions, like Mr. Carlin just brought

309
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:55,680
up some transparency here. If they have
a question of why we increased whatever

310
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,920
we increase, they should be able to say,
"Oh, that's a huge number. I get it

311
00:36:57,359 --> 00:37:03,119
now."
>> And we're going to use the city's taking

312
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:06,480
a taking the side of using reserves
>> to offset that cost. So, we don't pass

313
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:09,119
that cost on to the city to the
citizens. Okay.

314
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,480
» But in reality, we do because that's
their money already.

315
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,839
» Sure.
>> So, I I think we should vote on it

316
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:16,480
tonight.
>> And I would encourage you all to vote

317
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:19,680
no.
>> And only only allow the fuel what's in

318
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:23,920
contract,
>> right? So, I'm not opposed to the first

319
00:37:21,599 --> 00:37:26,675
two increases, the 2.8 for the
>> No, I get that. That's part of the

320
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:29,200
contract and I get that CPI
[clears throat] understand, but as far

321
00:37:27,839 --> 00:37:30,480
as the other part, I don't think we
should do that.

322
00:37:30,079 --> 00:37:33,440
» Yeah.
>> I don't think we should table. I think

323
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:38,400
should we vote on it now because at the
end of the day, we're passing a budget

324
00:37:35,119 --> 00:37:41,280
tonight. We need to he needs to know and
he needs to know what he's working with

325
00:37:40,240 --> 00:37:42,079
» and we need to know what we're working
with,

326
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:47,280
» right?
>> So, we need to vote on it tonight in my

327
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:50,800
opinion. Mayor,
>> I was just simply saying I agree. I I

328
00:37:49,599 --> 00:37:54,960
wish there would have been discussion
beforehand if we knew the ask didn't

329
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:58,640
match the contract. Then we could have
discussed this, you know, at an earlier

330
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:03,440
point before we're voting on it today.
>> I would have loved that. I submitted

331
00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:06,640
this uh several months ago. So I I just
I failed, I guess, on that and and

332
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,440
following through with
>> No, just on y'all's end. So if you were

333
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:12,160
submitting under different terms to say,
"Hey, we're staying at the same place,

334
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:15,839
but here's the reason we want to raise
the cost." And we could have already had

335
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:18,800
this discussion or told you what the
numbers should be if we agreed or

336
00:38:17,119 --> 00:38:22,480
didn't. Okay.
>> All right.

337
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,160
» Any other questions?
>> No.

338
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:27,400
» No. Okay. Thank you.
>> Thank you.

339
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:33,040
» Any more questions?
>> A motion.

340
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:38,320
» Well, Mark, how we need to push this if
we're not going to

341
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:42,640
» Someone needs to make a motion to amend
the resolution to if you're if if what

342
00:38:41,119 --> 00:38:48,640
you're planning on doing is raising it
by the first two or the 2.8 8 minus

343
00:38:46,079 --> 00:38:52,240
the.357
whatever that comes to

344
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:56,760
» 44 2.443
>> 2.443

345
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,760
Yeah.

346
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:10,640
Mayor move to amend resolution 26R31
approving

347

addendum number five to the contract for
refused collection disposal services

348
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:18,079
between the city of Alvin and Texas
private disposal. Is that why I need to

349
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:22,680
put that in there?
>> Yes.

350
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,680
» At the rate of 2.443

351
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:29,040

addendum and setting forth others

Y'all put me on the spot on that.

353
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:36,359
» Second.
>> Thank you. Please vote. I'm not always

354
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:36,359
like that. I promise.

355

357
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:52,880

council. Um, this is ordinance 26R.

361
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:16,960
Um, it has to do with adding 128 acres
to MUD 51. On January 17th, 2019, the

362
00:40:14,079 --> 00:40:23,359
city council adopted Ordinance 19B,
consenting to the creation of Brazoria

363
00:40:19,119 --> 00:40:29,440
County MUD 51. In 2024, the city also
approved the addition of approximately

364
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:33,599
107 acres to the mud. This was for
originally the benefit of Lando

365
00:40:31,359 --> 00:40:38,000
Development. Uh later on, Lando
transferred their interest to Beaser

366
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:45,040
Homes. Uh Beaser Homes is now the
developer um for that 107 acres.

00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:49,760
This ordinance um grants the city
specific written consent to the addition

368
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:56,079

Utility District number 51. Uh it's an

00:40:53,359 --> 00:41:00,359
addition of 128 acres and it'll be for
the benefit of KB Homes.

370
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:07,520
Uh the this preserves the conditions
contained in ordinance 19B and any prior

371
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:11,440
agreements between the city and the
district. Staff recommends approval of

372
00:41:09,359 --> 00:41:16,760
ordinance 26R.
And if you have any questions, I'll try

373
00:41:13,359 --> 00:41:16,760
to answer them.

374
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:23,200

388
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:38,240
followup to the annexation of that 128
acres into MUD 51. Uh the existing

389
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:43,440
utility services contract was originally
entered into in 2021 between the city

390
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:49,040
and Lando development on behalf of MUD
51. In 2023, Lando assigned its

391
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:55,359
development rights and responsibilities
to Beaser Homes. And now with the

392
00:42:53,200 --> 00:43:02,240
addition of the
128 acres, KB Homes will be added as a

393
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:09,760
developer under that agreement.
And this is a condition procedent to KB

394
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:15,040

do not end up purchasing the property by

395
00:43:11,839 --> 00:43:18,680
December 31st, 2026, the amendment will
automatically terminate

396
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:30,880
» question. No motion.
Mayor, I move to approve resolution

00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:18,000
resolution 26R33
approving a lift station force main

406
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:23,760

District 51 and KB Home Lonear Inc. and
authorized the mayor to sign the

Mayor, City Council, on November 20th,

409
00:44:30,720 --> 00:44:39,920
2025, the city entered into an
oversizing agreement with MUD 51 and

410
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:46,160
Beaser Homes. Under this um amendment to
the agreement, KB Homes will step in and

411
00:44:43,359 --> 00:44:51,800
pay the city's allocated share. The
original price of the lift station was

412
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,800
to be 2,152,850.

413
00:44:52,560 --> 00:45:00,880
The city's projected allocation share
was estimated at $1,172

414
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:06,960
6 $65740.
KB Homes will take over that um

415
00:45:04,240 --> 00:45:10,640
obligation depending on at the time that
they take over the obligation, how the

416
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:17,680
city has paid it, whether it's been
through um cash or grant of impact fees,

417
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:21,240
whatever it's going to be, KB Homes will
pay back the city.

418
00:45:21,359 --> 00:45:29,200
» So, has any of this been paid already?
>> I don't know yet. I know they have done

419
00:45:26,720 --> 00:45:33,680
some construction. Uh at the time when I
asked that we didn't know if the city

420
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:38,880
had actually paid any money or granted
any of the um

421
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:42,640
» they give credits for the um
>> impact. We we haven't we haven't paid

422
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:45,839
anything.
>> So KB Homes is stepping into the shoes

423
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:48,480
of the city and taking over the
obligation to pay this money back.

424
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:52,880
» That's correct.
>> So um in the event that happens as

425
00:45:51,119 --> 00:45:57,760
planned, how does that affect our
budget? Does it does it go into like a

426
00:45:55,200 --> 00:46:01,680
special fund or is it like where the
impact fee money would sit or can you

427
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:06,400
explain?
>> Yeah, we have we have a se separate

428
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:10,480
impact fee fund uh particularly
designated for impact fee funds. So, uh

429
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:12,560
» the money we received from KB Homes
would go there.

430
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:16,280
» It would it would go there until it's
time to pay.

431

00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:13,359
one year, one fiscal year from October
to September 30th and includes two

454
00:48:11,839 --> 00:48:18,119
additional
uh fiscal years of Evergreen.

455
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:26,640
the the proposed
uh agreement

456
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:32,640
uh would be a one-year contract starting
October 1st through uh September 30th,

457
00:48:29,599 --> 00:48:38,440
2027 and it maintaining the 2-year
evergreen

458
00:48:34,319 --> 00:48:38,440
uh time frame.

459
00:48:40,240 --> 00:48:50,079
Okay. article 9 uh you're going to see
in your in your packets at the end of

460
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:56,480
the the CBA there are two two pay scales
uh pay scale two is the one proposed by

461
00:48:52,240 --> 00:49:03,760
the association and pay scale one
uh proposed by the city's bargaining

462
00:49:00,240 --> 00:49:08,720
bargaining team uh elements of the pay
scale that was proposed by the

463
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:13,200
association would include a 3% increase
between all steps

464
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:20,800
on the anniversary date or pro promotion
date. uh the current

465
00:49:16,319 --> 00:49:26,520
uh CBA the steps are they range from
anywhere from 1.17

466
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:26,520
to 3.3%

467
00:49:26,720 --> 00:49:34,319
and so uh both the association and and
city staff uh felt that there was this

468
00:49:32,079 --> 00:49:39,839
was time to at least clean that up to
where all of the steps between all the

469
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:44,400
percentages between the steps are uh are
are uniform and so uh the association's

470
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:49,839
pay scale
3% between the steps and the city's pay

471
00:49:48,079 --> 00:49:53,319
scale
two 2 and a2%.

472
00:49:55,200 --> 00:50:04,880
Okay. Uh but this what this slide is
going is showing is

473
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:13,280
the percentage increase
from the beginning of

474
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:18,160
the contract
to and the ending

475
00:50:16,319 --> 00:50:22,640
uh
salary per hour at the end of the

476
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:29,599
contract. And so
the how the contract is on October you

477
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:34,480
shift to another uh pay scale and then
on your anniversary date you move a

478
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:42,000
step. So this is not intended to reflect
the percentage of increase but only the

479
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:47,520
percentage change between the uh hourly
pay from the time the contract starts

480
00:50:45,119 --> 00:50:53,680
until the end of the of of the fiscal
year. And so we provided two examples

481
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:57,839
for for a three-year officer. Uh I mean
you you can kind of just kind of peruse

482
00:50:55,520 --> 00:51:04,960
peruse through that. And we did an
example for a a six-year officer as well

483
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:10,880
corporal and for all ranks.
And I'll pause to see if you have any

484
00:51:06,079 --> 00:51:17,520
any any questions on on that.
You talked about the that it was a

485
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:18,640
uniform percent increase from step to
step.

486
00:51:18,240 --> 00:51:27,119
» Yes.
>> Previously we saw

487
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:28,480
» um a step scale that was had multiple
different

488
00:51:27,839 --> 00:51:35,359
» Yes.
>> percentages all the way through that

489
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:40,400
process. So what is that percentage from
step one between step one and two, two

490
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:43,520
and three, three and four? What is that
percentage?

491
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:47,920
» So that would that would be these. So 3%
from for the pay scale that the

492
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:50,319
association is proposing and two and a
half from what the what the city is

493
00:51:49,359 --> 00:51:54,640
proposing.
>> And what you stated is that now it's

494
00:51:52,079 --> 00:51:55,680
uniform we corrected it. This is now
fixed.

495
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:58,800
» Yes.
>> What we has been attempted to do years

496
00:51:58,319 --> 00:52:00,480
past.
>> Yes.

497
00:51:59,119 --> 00:52:04,800
» This is corrected.
>> Yes. That that that part be corrected.

498
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:08,559
» Okay. Have we corrected the overlap on a
senior officer to sergeant?

499
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:11,520
» We have not corrected that. What about a
senior sergeant to lieutenant and so

500
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:15,280
forth?
>> Uh I don't think we corrected any of

501
00:52:13,359 --> 00:52:21,839
that. That was definitely too costly.
>> Oh yeah, it's brought up every every

502
00:52:16,559 --> 00:52:25,280
every year. It's just too costly to uh
to correct all of that.

503
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:31,520
» That to me that hinders us dramatically,
especially with this year we promoted

504
00:52:27,839 --> 00:52:37,280
how many supervisors? A good handful. it
to me

505
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:40,960
ju just being my background it takes a
lot for a senior officer who's topped

506
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:46,720
out it you don't have anything to
incentivize them to promote like why am

507
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:50,720
I going to promote to sergeant and get a
minimal p pay pay raise when I can stay

508
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,640
as an officer or or or back and forth
because I know they go to the next step

509
00:52:52,319 --> 00:52:54,720
up
>> right okay yeah that's what I'm about to

510
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:58,240
say
>> to me that's that's hard for an officer

511
00:52:56,480 --> 00:53:02,720
to sit there and say why am I going to
lose my seniority as an officer has been

512
00:53:00,079 --> 00:53:08,960
here 10 20 years. I'm out on day shift
with week well we all have the same days

513
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:12,559
off but didn't go to the bottom sergeant
and have last pick on their shift and

514
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:16,640
you know that to me that's just hard to
incentivize senior officers to promote.

515
00:53:14,720 --> 00:53:22,480
» Yes sir. I'm I don't debate you on that
at all. Not debating you on that at all

516
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:28,640
but it is brought up and and you know
every every renewal year. So the APOA

517
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:36,200
proposal on the pay scale the 3%
increase between steps was the 2.5 our

518
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:36,200
first counter or only counter.

519
00:53:36,720 --> 00:53:43,599
» Can we discuss that?
>> Yeah. Yeah. We discuss discuss

520
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:47,920
everything. Uh
I want to know how much the city

521
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:49,119
compromised with APOA. That's what I'm
asking.

522
00:53:48,240 --> 00:53:52,640
» Yeah.
>> Um

523
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:55,839
» Sergeant K, do you know that answer? I
can't

524
00:53:53,520 --> 00:54:00,480
» Sergeant answer.
>> What was the city's first counter

525
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:03,119
» to the 3%.
>> Oh, I I can't I can answer that.

526
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:05,839
» Okay.
>> Okay. Sergeant, you can come on up if

527
00:54:05,119 --> 00:54:09,440
you want to. Uh
>> I'll wait. [laughter]

528
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:14,400
» Please come up here, Sergeant. We'd love
for you to be up here.

529
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:22,640
» Yeah. So, so how how how we how we
prepared the budget this year due to the

530
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:30,480
the uh lack of funds.
>> Yes. Uh the initial proposal from the

531
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:33,680
city was to provide everybody 3%
starting October 1.

532
00:54:32,319 --> 00:54:40,240
» Okay.
So, so we just kept with that that same

533
00:54:36,720 --> 00:54:44,319
amount of funding and uh that was that
was our proposal. So, I guess that that

534
00:54:41,839 --> 00:54:48,400
would be the counter, but that wasn't a
counter to the 3% that was a counter to

535
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:53,359
their their initial proposal.
>> And what was their initial proposal?

536
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:56,000
» Uh
2 million.

537
00:54:54,319 --> 00:54:58,240
» Yeah. It it it would have brought cost
two million.

538
00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:03,858
» What was their initial? We counted with
3%. What was their what increase were

539
00:55:01,359 --> 00:55:06,400
they asking for?
>> [sighs]

540
00:55:04,559 --> 00:55:11,118
» Sorry, do you know that answer?
>> I can't remember.

541
00:55:09,098 --> 00:55:11,118
[clears throat]

542
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:18,160
» So, the initial proposal uh from APOA
varied between the ranks simply because

543
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:23,440
the the what we presented to y'all at
the budget workshop and doing the market

544
00:55:20,240 --> 00:55:27,760
median survey. And so um our initial
proposal was to we presented the the

545
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:32,240
difference in the pay scales and the
deficiencies in the the ranks and the

546
00:55:30,240 --> 00:55:35,599
percentages that they were underpaid and
then we proposed bringing all those up

547
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:39,040
to market median. That was our initial
proposal

548
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:40,480
» and it was in their their presentation
that they

549
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:43,839
» I remember that I just can't remember.
>> I believe for a captain's rank uh the

550
00:55:42,079 --> 00:55:48,960
market median survey showed they they
were roughly 22% under market median and

551
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:54,160
so our proposal was to bring everybody
up to that market median over a

552
00:55:50,799 --> 00:55:56,880
three-year contract
>> over three years.

553
00:55:55,119 --> 00:56:01,920
» Yes, sir. That that was the initial
proposal.

554
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:06,960
So, you didn't ask like not this last
contract, the year before, the contract

555
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:11,520
before where we did $5 across the board
and $6 for Sergeant to try to fix that

556
00:56:09,599 --> 00:56:14,319
gap. We didn't ask for that. Y'all
didn't ask for that this time. Y'all did

557
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:18,079
more of a percentage to bring it up to
the medium. Basically,

558
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:21,920
» I don't think it was a dollar amount.
>> It was It wasn't a dollar amount. And as

559
00:56:20,079 --> 00:56:26,400
I explained in the budget workshop, if
you do a dollar amount to to across the

560
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:30,559
board, and that's why we have the
compression and the pay scales because a

561
00:56:28,079 --> 00:56:34,960
dollar amount to a younger officer
making $30 an hour, a dollar amount

562
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:38,480
significantly larger percentage to him
than it is a topped out captain making

563
00:56:37,359 --> 00:56:42,764
top out pay.
>> And so if you do a percentage across the

564
00:56:40,720 --> 00:56:45,520
board, um, you know, an even
[clears throat] percentage, then what

565
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:49,040
that did is that's significantly more to
a topped out captain than it is to a

566
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:52,640
starting officer. And so that's why we
did the market median survey because we

567
00:56:50,720 --> 00:56:57,839
felt it would bring every position,
every step within the department up to

568
00:56:55,760 --> 00:57:00,480
market median. We knew that we were not
going to be at the top of the market

569
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:05,359
median, but we were hoping to get
everybody to that middle of the road um

570
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:10,000
area. And so that's that was our initial
proposal which was presented to you on

571
00:57:07,839 --> 00:57:13,359
the budget show.
>> Yeah. I have their their initial Okay.

572
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:16,880
» You want to see it?
>> Can I?

573
00:57:13,839 --> 00:57:21,520
» Yes, sir.
A lot's happened since then. Sorry.

574
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:24,920
Sorry, I can't remember those numbers.
>> I got you.

575
00:57:31,119 --> 00:57:37,760
» I'd like to see us, not during this
bargain agreement everything, but on the

576
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:42,079
next one, at least try to do something
multi-year out instead of doing one

577
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:44,960
thing every year. Yes. Well, we normally
do three years, but because we couldn't

578
00:57:43,599 --> 00:57:47,119
come they couldn't come to an agreement
last year.

579
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:50,000
» Why not go to a six year? I mean, I I
don't It doesn't have to be a threeear,

580
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:53,920
two-year, whatever. I'm just saying I
know we know what they're asking for on

581
00:57:52,079 --> 00:57:59,680
everything. It'd be easier for us to
budget out something over a longer term

582
00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:00,720
to do something than doing a whole, you
know,

583
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:03,760
» Absolutely.
>> huge chunk at one time.

584
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:07,119
» Absolutely. And uh
>> yeah,

585
00:58:05,839 --> 00:58:09,520
» so these things are uh
>> I don't think that's in the best

586
00:58:08,079 --> 00:58:13,680
interest of the city or the APOA,
honestly. I and that's what I was about

587
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:17,680
to say. I mean, they have some new uh I
was just surprised of some new

588
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:22,160
legislation that might be coming and
impacting cities that especially with

589
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:25,119
all of the, you know, the property tax
relief that

590
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:28,720
» to do it one year every year
>> until everything comes down in Austin. I

591
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:33,440
I wish we could do three years, but I
mean

592
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:38,200
I I just I just don't feel comfortable
with uh what's going on in Austin at

593
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:38,200
this time.

594
00:58:39,119 --> 00:58:46,720
So I have a question. Do how how much I
mean I know nobody has a crystal ball

595
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:52,079
but how much do we think this will help
with retention? Um I know we have

596
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:56,880
significant amount of overtime as well
since it should help with retention.

597
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:59,359
Will it also in turn help with overtime?
How much overtime we have?

598
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:05,280
» Yes. Well, currently they're they're
fully staffed. So we did uh reduce their

599
00:59:02,319 --> 00:59:10,720
the overtime budget to to reflect that.
Okay. Uh,

600
00:59:08,559 --> 00:59:16,079
but whether they stay or not, I mean,
you just it's kind of their I don't want

601
00:59:13,599 --> 00:59:21,040
to guarantee that that they're going to
hopefully they will, but I want to

602
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:26,480
guarantee.
Okay. So, uh,

603
00:59:23,839 --> 00:59:30,799
so that so like I said, that's not
that's just the increase or the change

604
00:59:28,319 --> 00:59:36,359
in their hourly pay from the time the
contract starts until the end end of the

605
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:36,359
of the fiscal year.

606
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:46,319
Another thing that that they proposed
and that uh we agreed to was uh a f

607
00:59:42,799 --> 00:59:52,240
physical fitness comp time. And that
gives them the opportunity to earn comp

608
00:59:47,839 --> 00:59:59,280
time uh by score by particular score on
a physical uh eva fitness evaluation.

609
00:59:56,880 --> 01:00:05,440
And so we we we agreed to that. if you
have any specific questions. I mean,

610
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:09,200
Sarge is here or or uh
>> So, just to touch on the uh I'm sorry,

611
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:12,640
just to touch on the physical fitness
part, it it's currently in our

612
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:15,799
» SEG, can you go up here, please? Thank
you, sir.

613
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:23,599
» Ju just to touch on the uh physical
fitness uh part. It's in our current

614
01:00:20,799 --> 01:00:27,920
contract as it stands now, but it what
it does is you have to do a 2,000 meter

615
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:32,640
row. And so what we asked the city's
team to do is at least consider going to

616
01:00:30,079 --> 01:00:38,720
what DPS's standards are. And so you
have the option between choosing between

617
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:44,880
a 2,000 meter row, a 4m minute row, or a
um 400

618
01:00:42,079 --> 01:00:48,720
500 meter row for time. And so it's
DPS's standards. It's what they use. And

619
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:51,839
we just ask that we adopt the same
standards that DPS has used. And so it

620
01:00:50,319 --> 01:00:55,599
just gives you three different options.
Again, it's in the contract right now as

621
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:59,359
a 2000 meter that was in there. So it's
it's not costing anything to the city.

622
01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:03,640
It's just a different awarding um
allowing us to go to the DPS standard.

623
01:01:04,319 --> 01:01:14,400
» But the the comp time just to um touch
on that, what what is it? And so say an

624
01:01:11,359 --> 01:01:17,599
officer meets the the physical agilities
or the standard and is able to earn comp

625
01:01:16,559 --> 01:01:21,280
time
>> to

626
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:24,480
» and it's and it expires at the end of
the end of the year.

627
01:01:22,559 --> 01:01:32,000
» End of the year. So use it or lose it.
>> Yeah. Okay. And and is to supplement um

628
01:01:27,839 --> 01:01:36,359
additional training or additional
um um

629
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:43,200
» time for for physical fitness or what
what is the purpose?

630
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:47,760
» I I think so it's additional it's
encouraging our officers to participate

631
01:01:45,359 --> 01:01:50,240
in a physical fitness um and it's
compensating them for doing so. It's

632
01:01:49,599 --> 01:01:55,599
four hours.
>> And so it's you have to the first um

633
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:59,839
» I think it's 90% you have to Lieutenant
Eller is it 90% for the first one? 90%

634
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,599
for the first one. The next one is 70
>> 70

635
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:05,280
» 70%. Yes, sir.
>> And so you get time based on where you

636
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:07,920
qualify within that. So you have to row
over the 70% to get the

637
01:02:06,559 --> 01:02:11,359
» Yeah, I've got that part in order. But
it's four hours I guess. Or how many

638
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:14,720
hours?
>> 40 hours, right?

639
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:17,720
» 40 40 for 90, I think. 24
>> 24

640
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:25,599
» I think it's 24
between 70 and 89% or an approval of 40

641
01:02:23,359 --> 01:02:28,760
hours if you get 90% or above.
>> Got it.

642
01:02:30,799 --> 01:02:35,880
» That's enough.
>> We got it right there.

643
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:45,440
But
another thing that's uh we're adding um

644
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:51,599
or that we agreed to and this is to
incentivize experienced officers uh was

645
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:58,960
that if an applicant with two two plus
years of experience moved to if if we

646
01:02:56,160 --> 01:03:05,119
hired them uh they would move to the uh
the step that corresponds to their uh

647
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:13,839
total number of police experience.
So we agreed to that. Uh also with that

648
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:17,440
uh the association proposed
uh if an applicant comes from an agency

649
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:23,680
with
at least 30 sworn officers

650
01:03:20,799 --> 01:03:29,359
um
or yeah at least 30 sworn officer chief

651
01:03:26,559 --> 01:03:34,559
would chief would uh get the final say
so on their where they would land and so

652
01:03:32,559 --> 01:03:40,000
we felt that from the city's perspective
we felt that since our officers

653
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:44,880
are more trained. We get more training
here. And uh with 60 a place with 60

654
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:50,960
sworn officers, they have more
experience in uh and so we felt that

655
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:57,760
changing that to 60 sworn officer,
police officers. [snorts] Uh

656
01:03:55,680 --> 01:04:03,599
anything less than the 60 sworn sworn
officers, chief would have to uh

657
01:04:01,359 --> 01:04:07,680
get the final say. So on the I guess the
step that they end up

658
01:04:06,319 --> 01:04:10,400
» that's their right of storage.
>> Yes sir.

659
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:14,039
» That sure would have helped when we were
11 officers short.

660
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:23,599
» Yeah. Okay. So uh any more any more
questions? I think that's probably it.

661
01:04:20,319 --> 01:04:27,920
I'm going ask have Sergeant and uh Mr.
Kerr if they want to say anything. But

662
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:33,359
so the impact on the on the budget is
this. Uh

663
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:38,720
if you approve pay scale, the city's pay
scale, no pretty no change on the

664
01:04:35,119 --> 01:04:44,000
budget. Uh if you approve the APOA,
uh it's a 2808 80,000

665
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:48,559
change to the budget that that you
currently have. And so that that's

666
01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:55,680
that's pretty much the ask on tonight.
And so with that, um I'm going allow

667
01:04:51,680 --> 01:05:02,000
Sergeant to have words or what he wants
to do.

668
01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:06,640
Uh, mayor mayor council, thank you for
allowing me to speak to you all this

669
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:10,240
evening. It's greatly appreciated. Uh,
for those of you that don't know me in

670
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:14,000
the crowd, many of you do. I'm Aaron
Concincaid. I'm the uh, president for

671
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:19,440
the Alvin Police Officer Association and
Chief Bargaining Officer. Um, before

672
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:23,359
discussing the two pay proposals before
y'all tonight, I first want to reiterate

673
01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:28,799
what Mr. Roland said and thank him and
his team, entire team um for everything

674
01:05:26,799 --> 01:05:33,440
they've put forth in in bargaining with
us this year. Since negotiations began

675
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:37,760
on July 9th, we've spent a considerable
amount of time at the bargaining table.

676
01:05:35,359 --> 01:05:41,680
As you well know, while we have not
always agreed, the discussions have

677
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:44,720
remained professional and we generally
appreciate the time and effort and

678
01:05:43,119 --> 01:05:49,839
consideration that Mr. Roland and his
entire team have put uh into this

679
01:05:47,119 --> 01:05:55,839
process. I also want to make something
very clear. The APO rec recognizes that

680
01:05:53,359 --> 01:06:01,200
our civilian employees and our other
city employees work hard and are very

681
01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:04,559
deserving of a competitive compensation.
Our position has never been that police

682
01:06:03,039 --> 01:06:10,079
officers are the only employees who
deserve a raise. Our responsible our

683
01:06:07,599 --> 01:06:13,200
responsibility at the bargaining table,
however, is to represent the police

684
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:18,480
officers covered by our collective
bargaining agreement and address the

685
01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:23,039
spec specific compensation and retention
issues facing our department.

686
01:06:21,039 --> 01:06:27,839
Prior to negotiations, the APOA
conducted an extensive salary survey uh

687
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:33,119
surveying agencies within the market
area of Alvin that we all compete with

688
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:37,839
for police officers. That analysis
identified several significant concerns.

689
01:06:35,839 --> 01:06:41,920
We found that a majority of our ranks
are below the market median with some

690
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:46,559
supervisory ranks significantly below
the market median. We documented

691
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:51,440
substantial employee attrition and the
considerable financial cost associated

692
01:06:48,559 --> 01:06:55,280
with recruiting, hiring, equipping, and
training officers only to lose

693
01:06:53,599 --> 01:06:58,960
experienced personnel to surrounding
agencies.

694
01:06:56,799 --> 01:07:04,079
We also identified a fundamental problem
within our existing step system. As Mr.

695
01:07:02,319 --> 01:07:09,599
and discussed the percentage increases
between the steps are inconsistent

696
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:13,119
and in many cases the longer the officer
served within the department the smaller

697
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:17,760
the percentage the raise was in the step
program.

698
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:21,200
We did not simply identify these
problems and asked the city for more

699
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:25,039
money. We presented a proposed solution
which we talked about earlier. At the

700
01:07:23,599 --> 01:07:30,480
beginning of the process, we were
advised that approximately a 3% police

701
01:07:27,119 --> 01:07:34,319
salary increase, roughly $27,000,
had already been placed in the proposed

702
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:38,720
budget before collective bargaining even
began. Our initial comprehensive

703
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:43,599
proposal, including compensation steps,
and benefits, was estimated by the city

704
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:48,480
to cost approximately $2.1 million over
a three-year contract. We understood

705
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:53,680
that was a significant request, so we
negotiated. We listened to the city's

706
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:58,720
concerns, evaluated its proposals, spoke
with our membership, and moved

707
01:07:55,440 --> 01:08:02,480
substantially from where we began.
The city initially proposed a 3%

708
01:08:00,799 --> 01:08:06,720
increase while maintaining the existing
step structure. We respectfully declined

709
01:08:05,119 --> 01:08:11,599
because although it provided an
immediate raise, it did not correct the

710
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:16,000
inequities within the step system or
meaningfully address the structural

711
01:08:13,039 --> 01:08:21,040
compensation issues we had identified.
The city subsequently proposed a 1%

712
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:25,440
raise October 1st and restructuring the
steps to 2.5%.

713
01:08:23,759 --> 01:08:29,440
We absolutely recognized the city's
willingness to address the step problem.

714
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:33,920
That was movement by the city and we
greatly appreciated it. However, when we

715
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:40,560
analyzed the proposal, we discovered
that 33 out of our 62 members

716
01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:43,759
anniversary dates fell on or after June.
As a result, more than half of our

717
01:08:42,239 --> 01:08:47,359
membership would not receive that two
and a half percent increase on their

718
01:08:45,440 --> 01:08:51,679
anniversary dates until very late in the
fiscal year. The city would only fund

719
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:56,159
many of those increases for
approximately four months or less during

720
01:08:53,440 --> 01:09:01,120
that budget year. Our analysis also
showed that the city's 1% 2 and a half%

721
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:08,159
proposal would cost approximately
$22,000 less than roughly the $27,000

722
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:14,080
that had already been budgeted for.
The APOA therefore presented what we

723
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:18,880
believe is a reasonable compromise. A 3%
increase effective October 1st, 2026,

724
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:24,719
combined with restructuring the step
plan so that each step represents a

725
01:09:21,279 --> 01:09:29,279
consistent 3% increase. The additional
cost implementing our proposed pay scale

726
01:09:26,799 --> 01:09:33,520
is approximately $280,000
above the approximately 27,000 already

727
01:09:31,759 --> 01:09:38,400
included in the proposed budget before
you tonight.

728
01:09:35,839 --> 01:09:43,040
I want to put that into perspective. We
began this process with a proposal the

729
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:48,400
city estimated at approximately $2.1
million over three years. Today, we're

730
01:09:45,679 --> 01:09:52,799
asking for approximately $280,000 in
additional funding beyond what was

731
01:09:50,719 --> 01:09:57,360
already budgeted. That represents
significant movement by our association.

732
01:09:55,760 --> 01:10:01,199
We have attempted to bargain in good
faith. We've listened. We've

733
01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:06,080
compromised. and we have dramatically
reduced the financial impact of our

734
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:09,360
proposal. At the same time, we believe a
compromise has to meaningfully address

735
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:13,760
the problems that we brought before
y'all at the bargaining table. This is

736
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:18,960
not simply about giving employees a
raise. It's about creating a

737
01:10:16,480 --> 01:10:22,960
compensation structure that makes sense.
It's about correcting a step system

738
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:28,000
where an officer should not receive a
smaller percentage increase simply

739
01:10:24,719 --> 01:10:32,080
because he or she has more tenure. It's
about bringing positions that have

740
01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:37,600
fallen significantly below the market
closer to where they need to be. It's

741
01:10:34,239 --> 01:10:40,719
about recruitment. It's about retention.
And it's about protecting the city's

742
01:10:39,199 --> 01:10:45,679
investment in the experienced officers
that we already have. We also recognize

743
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:50,000
council's responsibility to protect the
financial health of the city. We agree

744
01:10:48,159 --> 01:10:53,920
that Alvin should maintain a strong
reserve and based on the financial

745
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:59,040
information we have reviewed, however,
the city's maintaining its required 25%

746
01:10:56,800 --> 01:11:03,360
reserve while also carrying
approximately 9.2 million in additional

747
01:11:01,440 --> 01:11:08,080
unassigned funds, resulting in reserves
of approximately 35.6%.

748
01:11:06,159 --> 01:11:12,000
We are not asking council to jeopardize
the city's reserves. We are asking

749
01:11:10,159 --> 01:11:16,480
council to consider whether investing an
additional 280,000 into correcting the

750
01:11:14,159 --> 01:11:20,560
police compensation structure, improving
retention, and protecting the city's

751
01:11:18,159 --> 01:11:25,440
investment in its officers is a
reasonable use of small portion of those

752
01:11:22,719 --> 01:11:30,080
available resources. Our membership
believes that it is, as you can well see

753
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:33,760
that they're here tonight in in a large
number.

754
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:37,520
There's another point I believe that is
important. Regardless of whether a new

755
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:41,840
agreement is ultimately reached,
eligible officers have not that have not

756
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:47,199
topped out remain entitled under our
existing uh contract

757
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:52,640
to their applicable anniversary step
increases. In other words, a portion of

758
01:11:50,000 --> 01:12:00,000
these compensation costs already exist
under their under the current structure.

759
01:11:56,800 --> 01:12:04,640
So, just to kind of clarify things, in
in the city's agreement, the starting

760
01:12:01,679 --> 01:12:09,719
officer would get a 1% raise and then
the steps would move to 3% across the

761
01:12:06,719 --> 01:12:09,719
board.

762
01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:17,199
Our proposal takes the existing
obligation and creates a more

763
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:21,600
consistent, equitable, and competitive
system going forward. Tonight, council

764
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:26,159
has an opportunity to do more than
approve a raise. You have the

765
01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:30,560
opportunity to uh correct a structural
problem. You have an opportunity to tell

766
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:34,719
our younger officers that Alvin intends
to remain competitive enough for them to

767
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:37,760
build their careers here. You have the
opportunity to tell our experienced

768
01:12:36,159 --> 01:12:41,840
officers and supervisors that their
tenure, institutional knowledge, and

769
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:45,679
commitment to this community have value
to each of you. and you have the

770
01:12:44,159 --> 01:12:49,520
opportunity to make an investment that
we believe will ultimately save the city

771
01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:53,679
money by reducing the tremendous cost
associated with the continued turnover,

772
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:57,760
recruitment, training, and loss of
experience. The APOA has moved

773
01:12:56,000 --> 01:13:03,440
considerably from where we began July
9th. We believe our 3% increase and 3%

774
01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:08,480
step proposal represents a fair and
reasonable compromise between what a

775
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:12,239
salary data demonstrates is needed and
what we recognize the city can

776
01:13:10,239 --> 01:13:16,480
reasonably afford.
We respectfully ask council tonight to

777
01:13:14,239 --> 01:13:20,239
support our proposal. Regardless of
council's decision, I want to again

778
01:13:18,239 --> 01:13:23,760
thank Mr. Roland and the city's
bargaining team for the time and effort

779
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:28,080
that they have invest invested in this
process. Collective bargaining naturally

780
01:13:26,159 --> 01:13:33,120
involves disagreement, but disagreement
does not have to be mean disrespect.

781
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:37,199
We appreciate their willingness to sit
across the table from us, listen to our

782
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:41,840
concerns, and work towards a resolution.
We also appre appreciate each of you

783
01:13:39,440 --> 01:13:45,199
listening to us from both sides and
considering what is best not only for

784
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:50,960
the officers but the city of Alvin as a
whole. Our officers are not asking to be

785
01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:54,719
paid the highest. They are asking for a
compensation structure that is fair,

786
01:13:52,800 --> 01:14:00,560
competitive, consistent, and
sustainable. We believe the 3% and 3%

787
01:13:58,239 --> 01:14:03,920
proposal accomplishes just that. On
behalf of the men and the women in this

788
01:14:02,320 --> 01:14:11,159
room and the Alvin Police Officers
Association, we say thank you.

789
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:11,159
Thank you.

790
01:14:13,840 --> 01:14:20,480
» Okay. So, so with that, what what we
need is you all to vote on which pay

791
01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:23,480
scale to incorporate into the to the
CPA.

792
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:33,440
» Mayor,
just before we vote, I just want to say

793
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:38,159
I think $280,000 dip into our reserves.
although

794
01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:44,480
I know we don't want to is a very very
very small investment compared to the

795
01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:51,920
investment we've already put forth in
these officers and I believe that

796
01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:57,760
honestly I think we can do more I really
do but I know at this time we're voting

797
01:14:54,480 --> 01:15:01,840
on one or two and I believe that 280,000
is a very small price to pay for what

798
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:04,080
we're getting out of the return on the
investment

799
01:15:07,440 --> 01:15:15,120
Yeah, I agree. I think that um you know
if we're having to dip into our reserves

800
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:21,120
to pay costs to the waste disposal
company and you know the current budget

801
01:15:17,199 --> 01:15:26,320
as proposed includes things that are
expensive that I don't necessarily agree

802
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:30,239
with. I'd much rather use money
from the reserves to pay our police

803
01:15:28,480 --> 01:15:34,239
officers. I mean,
>> that that's two separate funds.

804
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:36,400
» No, I understand that. But it's all it's
all the city's money. It's all the tax

805
01:15:36,239 --> 01:15:41,120
money.
>> Not two separate funds, but two separate

806
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:46,000
functions and two separate uh
>> No, not not uh like paying for zoning

807
01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:49,199
and paying for hike and bike trail and
all that kind of stuff. All that stuff

808
01:15:47,280 --> 01:15:53,360
comes out of the general fund and so
does payroll. No.

809
01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:56,239
» Yes. But not sanitation. That's what I'm
talking about.

810
01:15:53,760 --> 01:16:01,520
» Okay. Well, that's that's fine. But uh
Mr. Gibbs said that the plan to pay for

811
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:05,520
the proposed increase earlier this
evening was to dip into reserves in the

812
01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:09,199
amount of $225,000. And that's simply
what I'm referring to. And so instead, I

813
01:16:07,679 --> 01:16:12,880
would prefer to use that money to pay
our police officers. Um, most

814
01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:16,239
definitely. So
>> what money? The sanitation.

815
01:16:14,400 --> 01:16:21,600
» I'm saying the amount of money.
>> Oh, the amount

816
01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:28,000
» that would otherwise be used to pay
anyone out of the reserves. Okay. I

817
01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:31,120
would rather use the money to pay our
police officers if that money too would

818
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:36,640
be coming from reserves. So that's
simply the point I'm making. So I agree

819
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:39,199
with Councilman Gerave.
>> I think what she's trying to say if

820
01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:40,960
we're going to pay anything in reserves,
we're going to use it for this.

821
01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:44,719
» Exactly.
>> What he's what city manager is trying to

822
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:48,800
say. There's two different reserve
stashes. What he was trying to explain.

823
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:53,280
» Yeah, that's that's all I was trying.
Mayor move to approve resolution 26R34

824
01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:56,640
approving the proposed collective
bargaining labor agreement between the

825

Police Officer Association APOA to

» Motion passes with council member Salter

866
01:19:52,159 --> 01:20:01,360
» Thank you. Item H, consider ordinance
26U, adopting and levvening the ad

867
01:19:57,840 --> 01:20:08,080
balorum tax rate for the tax year 2026.
Uh, fiscal year 27 commencing October 1,

868
01:20:04,719 --> 01:20:14,239
2026 and ending September 30th, 2027.
>> Yes. On this one, um, I just want to

869
01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:19,840
clarify that the public hearing
uh tax rate was 700 635.

870
01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:23,760
Uh,
the budget is not proposing that tax

871
01:20:21,520 --> 01:20:28,600
rate. The budget is proposing a 69 12
cent t tax rate.

872
01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:43,520
» Any questions or comments?
>> Yeah, I have comments. I'll try to be

873
01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:47,679
brief. Um,
Alvin already has one of the highest tax

874
01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:52,719
rates in Brazoria County. are members of
this community have one of the lower

875
01:20:50,159 --> 01:20:59,840
median average incomes of surrounding
communities. Um, I think that matters

876
01:20:56,000 --> 01:21:03,520
and because of that, knowing what I know
about the budget and the money that is

877
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:08,800
being spent
um for the city um specifically things

878
01:21:07,199 --> 01:21:17,360
like the rec center operating at a
$600,000 loss and the animal uh adoption

879
01:21:12,480 --> 01:21:21,679
center operating um at about $450,000
uh loss. those kinds of things while

880
01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:25,520
they provide a value to the city that I
understand and I agree with that I think

881
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:29,840
that there are ways that we can
meaningfully

882
01:21:27,040 --> 01:21:34,960
reduce the expenses from our city
budget. And I think that when we're

883
01:21:32,239 --> 01:21:38,880
asking taxpayers for more money um by
way of a tax increase or issuing

884
01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:42,880
certificates of obligation, increasing
the debt, then we really need to

885
01:21:41,199 --> 01:21:46,880
scrutinize all every single dollar
that's going out because every single

886
01:21:44,480 --> 01:21:53,920
dollar that's wasted by a government was
a dollar that was earned by a taxpayer.

887
01:21:49,520 --> 01:21:57,760
And so for that simple reason, um like I
said, knowing what I know about the

888
01:21:55,360 --> 01:22:03,360
money that's going out of the city's
budget every year, um I think we need to

889
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:07,600
redo the way that we approach budget
season at the beginning of the year. Um

890
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:11,440
I think and I'm going to ask that we
start televising the budget workshops

891
01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:16,560
like we do the meetings because I think
it's important for transparency. the

892
01:22:13,440 --> 01:22:20,080
public is they're they're talking about
it and they are saying we want

893
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:23,520
transparency. We want to know what's
going on and we want to know where our

894
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:28,320
money is being spent. And I think that
it's important for us to answer the call

895
01:22:26,560 --> 01:22:33,120
and say, "Okay, we're going to make
these things public and more trans in an

896
01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:37,840
effort to be more transparent." And so I
think that um

897
01:22:35,920 --> 01:22:41,440
because of the things that I've seen and
the discussions that we've had during

898
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:45,040
the workshops, I'm uncomfortable
increasing the tax rate at all and I'm

899
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:49,360
going to vote no and I encourage my
fellow council members to do the same.

900
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:53,280
» I like to say I agree with with
televising the workshops or streaming or

901
01:22:51,920 --> 01:22:59,920
whatever you call it. I think it'd be a
great help to folks that are coming in

902
01:22:55,280 --> 01:23:02,920
the last minute. I like that idea.
Any

903
01:23:06,719 --> 01:23:10,520
other questions or comments?

904
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:22,560
Mayor move to approve ordinance 26U to
adopt and levy adarm tax rate for tax

905
01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:29,600
year 2026 FY27 commencing October 1st

action on our contract or um, make any

attend them and they're and they're
published in advance just like the

been available, but additionally, it'd

01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:58,920
