My name 31 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:32,480 is Alex Gonzalez. I just moved here from I say just moved down here from Dallas 32 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:36,319 about seven years ago. Uh, and never never in any of that time have ever had 33 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:40,959 any issues of fear or crime or never felt unsafe. Uh, but like many 34 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:45,599 Americans, I've only recently learned about flock and mass surveillance AOPR 35 00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:50,160 that's taken over uh many cities and counties uh and all the laundry list of 36 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:53,840 abuse and issues that it has created. Uh, these are violation of our Fourth 37 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,959 Amendment and civil liberties. And uh, it should be as simple as that across 38 00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:01,280 the board that they should never even see the light of day, especially when 39 00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:04,400 paid for by tax dollars. I spoke earlier today with uh Secretary Miss Glover and 40 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:08,800 she clarified that we do not have a contract with Flock or other AOPR to her 41 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:12,159 knowledge [clears throat] and for that you guys should be praised. 42 00:03:10,959 --> 00:03:16,800 Thank you for not moving forward with the contract when approached by Flock in 43 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:20,239 2024. [clears throat] Thank you for your wisdom and your transparency and looking 44 00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:24,640 out for our community. I ask that you make an ordinance to ban any such 45 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:28,080 AIdriven cameras, ALPR, unconsidered mass surveillance technology from our 46 00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:31,920 city moving forward, just as you did with the last meeting regarding the data 47 00:03:29,519 --> 00:03:34,720 centers, which is badass. These two will ultimately go hand in 48 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:39,200 hand, which is why I think there's such a hard and uh a hard and secretive push 49 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:42,959 for them. Of course, aside from the uh billionaire's greed, the type of 50 00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:46,400 surveillance that [clears throat] type of surveillance will require an immense 51 00:03:44,799 --> 00:03:51,217 data storage, especially when it's done 24 hours a day. Do you have two minutes 52 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:54,000 » via the cloud? [clears throat] 53 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:58,640 » The leaders of these industries call for a compromise between safety and privacy. 54 00:03:56,159 --> 00:04:02,720 There's no such possibility.

They're most wellknown for their police body cams. 56 00:04:05,627 --> 00:04:12,720 [clears throat] Um, and cities that have removed flock 57 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:17,359 due to the, you know, citizen complaint. They've also moved forward with 58 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:21,759 replacing flock with axon cameras. Um, so I just wanted to bring aware 59 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:25,600 bring that awareness to you guys. Um, these companies are evolving rapidly 60 00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:30,400 with all kinds of new technology for surveillance, including drones. 61 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:33,759 Um, they're also getting a little bit more devious, uh, and the ways that they 62 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:40,759 camouflage these cameras to make them more discreet so the public don't know 63 00:04:35,919 --> 00:04:40,759 about them or see them.

Those were 92 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:11,440 the top areas that um we're focused on it seems like this month.

I understand. >> Okay. 178 00:14:13,474 --> 00:14:23,680 [snorts] >> So, um concern the public hearing, sir, 179 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:27,279 » do we open it up now or not? >> So, we'll do that. 180 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,600 » We'll open it up right now at 7. >> Just need to make the motion. 181 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,000 » It's 7. >> So, we're good. 182 00:14:30,639 --> 00:14:38,680 » I know. [laughter] We open it up at 7:16 183 00:14:34,639 --> 00:14:38,680 public hearing, right? 184 00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:03,240 » Okay. There's no comments for public hearing. We'll close it at 7:16 185 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:12,320 and now we can move on to board discussion and action. 186 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:17,760 Um, so this is uh one of the properties that 187 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:23,920 this program that falls in line with the city's comprehensive plan to uh kind of 188 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:30,079 take care of some of the uh the uh older houses that need to be uh torn down. And 189 00:15:27,519 --> 00:15:35,760 so this is one of four that's going to be coming before you all. 190 00:15:32,639 --> 00:15:42,639 So we just need to make a decision on on if we do want to tear it down the the 191 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:47,440 cost and everything which we would we have in the budget to do. Okay. To tear 192 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:53,680 down the city's going to do it or our contractor. 193 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:58,720 My recommendation is our contractor. Um although the city does have the 194 00:15:55,040 --> 00:16:02,519 equipment. So that's kind of what I see. 195 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:10,721 » Do we know the difference in the cost between the city doing it and the 196 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:14,720 contractor doing it? [clears throat] 197 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:18,519 » Uh the contractor will probably be higher. Yeah. 198 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:25,199 » But you say we do have the equipment, >> but we could also 199 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:28,959 demolish it. the city could demolish it and then have a contractor just haul it 200 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:32,959 off. That'll probably be the most economical 201 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:36,160 economical way for the homeowner, for the property owner. 202 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:42,480 » Yes, sir. And just and just so you all know as well, um and just reference from 203 00:16:39,279 --> 00:16:46,639 legal that in the event that it's uh these costs are not paid back to the 204 00:16:44,639 --> 00:16:50,639 city, then you know, unfortunately there will be a lean on the property until 205 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,639 then. 206 00:16:51,759 --> 00:16:59,839 So, we do the city does have the equipment to demolish it. 207 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:04,431 » I don't know if if it was changed in the past, but I think we did put something 208 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:09,199 in place when the city [clears throat] demolished the building. 209 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:15,039 I think it was like a $3,000 fee. I think it was just like And I I 210 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:18,880 don't know. I don't know if that's changed. Well, I mean, typically you 211 00:17:16,959 --> 00:17:22,000 it's just a pass through expense. It's you can work with the owner. If they can 212 00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:26,160 do it themselves, that's fine as long as the nuisance has been mitigated. In this 213 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,799 case, a substandard structure, but >> that was the cost of the city tearing it 214 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:32,240 down and taking >> I don't know where that number came 215 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:36,640 from. I assume there was an kind of an assumption of what the time of staff and 216 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,960 » I think we actually put it in place. >> Say that again. 217 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:42,080 » I think we we actually put that in place. 218 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,880 » It was a long time ago though. >> Yeah. Well, I can tell you as part of 219 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:49,520 this process, you have absolutely have the right to do it yourself and assess a 220 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,640 cost for that, reasonable cause for that or hire a third party contractor do it 221 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:58,120 and pass that cost along. >> Yeah. 222 00:17:55,120 --> 00:17:58,120 » Okay. 223 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:03,440 » What would be the liability [clears throat] for the city to tear it 224 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:07,840 down for us to do it ourselves? Well, they're really I'll tell you 225 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:12,000 again, I didn't I wasn't part of this process, but there is a case out of 226 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:15,919 Dallas that pretty much says they have 30 days statutoily to appeal the all's 227 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:20,960 decision today. So, I would recommend that any order to demolish a structure 228 00:18:18,559 --> 00:18:24,799 wait until that 30-day period for for appeal has expired. And if it does, then 229 00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:27,799 you really have no exposure to liability. 230 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,679 » All right. >> Decisions. Decisions. 231 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:44,799 » Is that it? We need a motion to demolish the 232 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,080 building. >> Is there an order? 233 00:18:45,919 --> 00:18:52,320 » Yes. >> Actually, this was voluntary. This was 234 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:55,280 voluntary. Oh, >> y'all have an agreed voluntary 235 00:18:53,919 --> 00:18:58,960 demolition agreement. >> So, really, you just have to bless that 236 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:02,799 agreement. Okay. 237 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:07,440 » All needs a motion now to bless the agreement. 238 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:10,320 » The motion to >> that's the best case for y'all. We 239 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,360 basically have a property owner is willing to do it just doesn't have the 240 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:17,840 means to do it and agrees to us tearing it down on their behalf. 241 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:23,039 » I'll make a motion that we approve the demolition agreement. 242 00:19:19,919 --> 00:19:27,280 A second. >> Miss 243 00:19:25,120 --> 00:19:30,720 all the woman. Uh, >> which one? 244 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:33,600 » McDade. >> Okay. All in favor? 245 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:38,880 » I >> Okay. The motion pass. 246 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:42,000 It's good. We hadn't done one of those in a long time. So, relearning the 247 00:19:41,360 --> 00:19:45,440 process, right? >> Yes. And just just if I could just add 248 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:50,640 real quickly, sir, we're going to there will be three more um coming up next 249 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:54,000 agenda as well that you you'll be prepared for that one. 250 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:58,320 » Okay. Thank you, sir. >> Yes, sir. 251 00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:03,200 » All right. Item number nine, discussion possible action to approve uh Brookshire 252 00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:08,000 Public Works renovation. >> The cost estimate. [clears throat] 253 00:20:05,039 --> 00:20:11,200 » Yes. Hello. Good evening again. >> Something on screen there. 254 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:16,640 » Yes, we do. So you do have the cost estimate in front of you, the proposal 255 00:20:12,799 --> 00:20:21,840 for the entire demolition to build the um offices back there for the employees 256 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:26,480 in public works, but also to create a break room. Uh didn't bring the current 257 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:31,840 breakroom with us, but if you have seen any of our buildings in open space and 258 00:20:29,679 --> 00:20:36,080 particularly the public works one, the the break room is just an open space in 259 00:20:34,159 --> 00:20:42,960 the heat. And so we want to try to get them um in some air condition and also 260 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:46,960 utilize a space where they can do um reports and any the technological work 261 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:53,440 that might need to be done from the public work side. What we do have is a 262 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:59,600 design here on the screen. We do have a project total cost. Um but today we want 263 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:04,640 to ask for a not to exceed budget if if that's okay with the council and the 264 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:08,799 mayor. Um we would uh mayor if you don't mind I'd like to share with the with the 265 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:16,000 council the the breakdown of what we identified sir. And so 266 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:23,440 you have the amount in front of you. In addition to that it does um we have 267 00:21:20,159 --> 00:21:28,640 92,000 from this fiscal year appropriated for this project and then 268 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:35,840 we also have it appropriated again for next fiscal year at 154,000. 269 00:21:31,919 --> 00:21:40,080 And so thought process was because the amount that's there and we don't know 270 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:43,440 what's behind those walls, we want to try to see if we can fit a little 271 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:47,200 contingency in there to ensure that we don't have to come back to do a change 272 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:51,200 order. However, we will only be charged by this contractor for the work that's 273 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:56,720 being done. So if we can u make our way to the 274 00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:02,400 screen here. Currently on the left hand side what we have is uh office space and 275 00:22:00,559 --> 00:22:08,720 we we just have two desks there currently and where the to the top side 276 00:22:05,919 --> 00:22:13,360 of the of the left side of the page that is just being utilized for storage at 277 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:17,760 this time of equipment. So the the thought was to turn that into a whole 278 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:23,280 another office uh for the superintendent and or administrative assistant and then 279 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:27,200 we'd have enough room um below that for supervisors to come in and do reports 280 00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:33,600 and any research that might need to be done. As you uh depart from the bottom 281 00:22:30,799 --> 00:22:38,080 left portion of the building and enter the first door, that'll be a hallway 282 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:41,360 going north. That's that open space there is actually a hallway and that 283 00:22:39,679 --> 00:22:45,679 square above it is where the restrooms are at currently. So those would be the 284 00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:50,799 restrooms and then another door coming into the break room there. As you see 285 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:56,400 wide open space, table, chairs, and the north portion of that image would be a 286 00:22:53,120 --> 00:23:00,600 stove, sink, and counter space as well for them for lunch purposes. 287 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,440 If you have any questions, be happy to entertain them. 288 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:11,080 » I have a question. >> Yes, ma'am. 289 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:11,080 Is this the only company 290 00:23:11,919 --> 00:23:19,120 that we have? >> So, this is a byboard company. 291 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:24,720 » I'm I'm very familiar with board. >> My question is, do we have anyone else 292 00:23:23,039 --> 00:23:30,720 besides this company? >> So, moving forward, we've been we've 293 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:36,080 been um directed to identify a new byboard vendor. Yes, ma'am. For uh 294 00:23:34,159 --> 00:23:40,960 preacher projects. So yes, there are additional ones. We reached out and 295 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:46,960 we've have a listing of those particular uh byboard vendors that we can still 296 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:51,440 reach out to the the for any quotes moving forward that that is the process 297 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:54,600 that will be will be taken outside of this vendor. 298 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:05,039 » That was my question. Thank you. Can we get other proposals or is this 299 00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:09,640 the only one we can get for this? Usually typically it's three 300 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:16,320 different companies. Is there a possible way to get two other 301 00:24:14,159 --> 00:24:21,440 ones? >> So with the by board, you don't need you 302 00:24:19,679 --> 00:24:25,919 don't you're not required. It's a state state program, right? Correct. 303 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:29,200 » You're not required to get a a different company. You can go with one 304 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:31,600 » board satisfy our procurement laws >> by going out and doing the bidding on 305 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,880 our behalf. >> Okay. Okay. 306 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:37,679 » Now, you could get a different byboard jock which would be a different 307 00:24:36,799 --> 00:24:42,400 contractor. >> Yes, you could do that as well. Yeah. To 308 00:24:40,559 --> 00:24:49,360 answer your question, this is a two-part yes and no answer. Right. Uh more 309 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:56,240 importantly that you know and I know we we did instruct um Miss Batista to do 310 00:24:52,640 --> 00:25:02,720 that moving forward, but because of this because of the I think the importance of 311 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:06,960 helping public works improve the morale and the working conditions over there 312 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:11,679 that we I thought that it would be a good idea if we could move forward with 313 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:18,080 this one. We've reshed the building. We added a canopy over there to uh cover 314 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:21,840 the equipment. And so, you know, we want we hope that uh we 315 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,720 could get this one pushed through to help the morale, help them get good 316 00:25:23,279 --> 00:25:27,760 working environment over there, you know. 317 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:33,039 And I agree with that, ma'am. >> But going I'm hearing going forward. 318 00:25:32,159 --> 00:25:34,080 » Absolutely. >> Okay. 319 00:25:33,679 --> 00:25:36,159 » Yes, ma'am. >> You discussed that, correct? 320 00:25:35,279 --> 00:25:38,400 » Yes, sir. >> Yes, sir. 321 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:42,240 » I don't have a problem with >> Yeah, I can make the motion then. 322 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:48,080 » Yes, ma'am.

The first one we could look at is the 334 00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:44,720 emergency operations center. All four corners of the outside of the building 335 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:48,720 and the inside of where the inventory is being held. 336 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:52,480 » We just need to know that they're camp. >> Sure.

It looks like for 356 00:28:20,799 --> 00:28:28,440 Gresham Promax 16 POE, that's the camera itself. 357 00:28:43,919 --> 00:28:48,520 Mayor, you sit in on all this. 358 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,640 » Well, I'm ready to make a motion. 359 00:28:54,240 --> 00:29:02,880 I move that we approve the installation of security cameras locks at the BEDC 360 00:29:00,159 --> 00:29:06,960 and EOCC buildings, the amphitheater and Hov Park. 361 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:11,080 » Second. >> All in favor? 362 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,080 » I 363 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,919 motion pass. 364 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:22,559 » Okay.

So we have u new benches going in at Hov Park. So, we have a set of uh 369 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:50,000 two set of benches that are still in pretty good shape that I thought it 370 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:55,600 would probably be a good idea if we can donate those to the hanger for the 371 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:58,559 soccer field. They're they're surplus at this point. 372 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:04,600 » Okay. >> Pictures are there.

Mayor Pro Tim Green. 382 00:30:50,399 --> 00:30:55,600 M to >> Mayor Council. Um, we had a discussion 383 00:30:53,600 --> 00:31:00,720 last meeting and I kind of rolled my eyes, I think, at Eric a little bit. So, 384 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:04,159 we talked about it and I just I think it's better to have a a procedure in the 385 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:07,279 ordinance itself if you're going to grant people relief like you did on 386 00:31:05,679 --> 00:31:13,440 commercial fences. So, I just stole a provision that you had in your use uh 387 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:19,279 chapter 50 and put in two new sections in your commercial fence ordinance. The 388 00:31:15,279 --> 00:31:22,799 first being 10368 which is um variance request review standards. Basically just 389 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:27,200 establishing the procedure for applying for a variance for a commercial fence 390 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:32,880 variance. And then the next section standards for variance which establishes 391 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:37,840 standards for consideration of such relief. It's really stolen out of zoning 392 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:41,440 laws. But uh since we're dealing kind of with use issues and y'all don't have 393 00:31:39,679 --> 00:31:48,159 zonia, it made sense to adopt something that has a triedand-true uh set of 394 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:52,200 standards for consideration. That's it. It's more of a housekeeping matter 395 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:58,799 » and that's all I want. >> I have you don't have it, but she does. 396 00:31:55,440 --> 00:32:04,240 » I think I said CG on it. >> Not 100% necessary. It was just kind of 397 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:06,799 a follow-up house cleaning matter. >> Is there any action that need to be 398 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,640 taken? Yeah, I think you just a motion to approve the revised ordinance would 399 00:32:08,159 --> 00:32:09,919 be >> a question. 400 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:17,559 » Absolutely. >> Um 10 366A 401 00:32:14,559 --> 00:32:17,559 um 402 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:26,799 um requiring all of our fences or company commercial property that has 403 00:32:24,159 --> 00:32:30,080 fences right now requiring all of them to do them within two years. Is that 404 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:34,799 legal? Can we do that without having to pay pay them for that? have to complete 405 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:39,279 the a project an authorized commercial fence project within two years 406 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:42,720 » for for pre-existing >> here I let me pull it up and see exactly 407 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,720 what you're talking about >> for non-conforming fences 408 00:32:43,712 --> 00:32:50,320 [clears throat] can we require all of them with to 409 00:32:47,279 --> 00:32:56,159 change their fences to the new >> no you're talking I mean yeah the cities 410 00:32:53,679 --> 00:33:00,799 can require nonconforming structures like that but you either have to fully 411 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:03,440 amateurize it mean it has to expire its useful life or you have to pay them out, 412 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,240 » right? >> So, I would I mean I don't think we're 413 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:09,120 in the business of doing that really here in this city. It's more if you have 414 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,399 it there and we adopt a rule, we're going to let you be. 415 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,880 » Okay. >> Until it falls apart and then it is 416 00:33:12,159 --> 00:33:14,880 grandfathering, >> right? 417 00:33:13,279 --> 00:33:16,799 » Yeah. Non-conforming is just a fancy word for grandfather. 418 00:33:15,679 --> 00:33:22,399 » Right. I just wanted [clears throat] to clarify because this said that um all 419 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:25,519 non-conforming fences shall be removed or modified to comply with the provision 420 00:33:23,919 --> 00:33:30,240 of this article within two years of the effective 421 00:33:27,039 --> 00:33:33,880 article.

But um 425 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:06,240 I mean do y'all want to do that? >> I my opinion though. 426 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,240 » I think you're picking a fight with that. But um 427 00:34:07,679 --> 00:34:11,280 » right. >> Can't we remove that part? 428 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:15,200 » I can. I think if the motion reflects the adoption of the new variance 429 00:34:13,359 --> 00:34:16,720 sections and removal of that subsection, that'd be fine. 430 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:22,280 » Yeah. >> And then we'll make sure E360 has the 431 00:34:18,879 --> 00:34:22,280 updated version. 432 00:34:23,839 --> 00:34:31,280 » So is that your motion, ma'am? That's a motion. 433 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,079 » Second. >> Second. 434 00:34:31,679 --> 00:34:33,919 » Taylor. >> Second. 435 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,000 » Taylor. >> All in favor? 436 00:34:35,119 --> 00:34:39,399 » I. >> Thank you, sir. 437 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:50,079 » Item number 13, discussion and possible action to revise recreational vehicle 438 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:53,280 ordinance. Mayor Pro Tim Green. >> Mayor, council, 439 00:34:51,919 --> 00:35:00,960 there's been a lot of talk about this one. Yeah. Now, I asked for for this to 440 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:05,599 be on the agenda, and 441 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:13,359 I know in the past you you were not allowed to have an RV on your property, 442 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:18,240 but going over with the with the mayor a few days ago, 443 00:35:15,359 --> 00:35:24,189 somewhere it was revised. Um, don't know when it was revised, but 444 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:29,440 it was revised. My whole intention [clears throat] was to 445 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:35,599 stop people from getting cited to actually make my whole goal. Okay, let 446 00:35:33,119 --> 00:35:42,400 me vent a little bit. I I have to I'm sorry. I I have to 447 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:47,280 because we are we are growing and we're only getting warehouses 448 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:52,960 and businesses in this community. We're not getting residential homes. And my 449 00:35:51,119 --> 00:35:56,880 whole goal is to make life better for our community, the citizens that's 450 00:35:54,720 --> 00:36:00,720 actually here. And if you choose to get an RV, I don't see why you couldn't have 451 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:05,040 an RV. That was my whole goal of having it on here [cough] along with everything 452 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:09,680 that took place in the past when when the floods came and you could not, you 453 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:14,480 know, you could live in your house and it so much easier for you to actually 454 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:22,240 get an RV while your house was being renovated. So that that was my whole 455 00:36:17,359 --> 00:36:28,320 thought on on this ordinance along with our code enforcer actually going through 456 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:34,800 and enforcing the codes that we actually have on record. And I did not want our 457 00:36:32,240 --> 00:36:38,160 community to actually or the people in our community with RVs to actually get 458 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:42,320 cited for something that I personally think they should be able to have on 459 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:47,520 their property. So that was the goal behind this right here. Now, we spoke 460 00:36:44,720 --> 00:36:55,160 with the mayor. You can have it. And I spoke with um our attorney David [cough] 461 00:36:51,839 --> 00:36:55,160 about this. 462 00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:03,520 » I can I did look at this. We talked a little bit about this. Um I mean, you 463 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:07,440 have options if y'all want to allow it. I didn't realize you were thinking about 464 00:37:05,599 --> 00:37:11,200 temporary housing during like a renovation project, but I mean I I don't 465 00:37:10,240 --> 00:37:15,440 see why that >> was during a natural uh a disaster. 466 00:37:13,359 --> 00:37:18,720 Okay. So, yeah, I mean, it's not uncommon for cities to allow people to 467 00:37:17,359 --> 00:37:21,839 kind of bend the rules if there's a declared emergency or something. So, we 468 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:25,280 could put exceptions. You know, it right now the way the code is written, it's 469 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:27,599 prohibited to even store one on your lot. It has to be in a designated RV 470 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,800 park. >> No, 471 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:33,599 » there's y'all are allowing people to store 472 00:37:31,359 --> 00:37:37,119 » the code is it's written that you can have one on it at your property 473 00:37:36,079 --> 00:37:40,480 » on a pad. >> Oh, you can't live outside or behind 474 00:37:38,720 --> 00:37:43,200 your house. You just can't live in it. >> Okay. That's 475 00:37:41,119 --> 00:37:46,800 » Yeah. So yeah, you can have one there. >> Okay. I didn't see that in the article 476 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:49,680 dealing with RVs, but that's it's probably somewhere. [cough] 477 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,880 » Just can't live in it. >> Just can't you can't live in 478 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:58,320 » Well, I mean that that >> that was the that was the thing that we 479 00:37:55,760 --> 00:38:05,599 discovered, right? Is that and that was his point is that the he wanted to say 480 00:38:02,079 --> 00:38:09,839 that you can have an RV on your property as long as you're not living in it. And 481 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:13,920 so we didn't think it was in there. We read the ordinance. It's in there 482 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:18,560 » on the side of your house or behind your house, you can have it. And that's what 483 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:22,720 » the the only other issue is do you want to allow some sort of by right temporary 484 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:26,720 ability to stay in one of these things? >> I think that's in there as well. Uh you 485 00:38:24,720 --> 00:38:30,079 can live in there for 14 days for a 12-month period. And I think that was 486 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,599 probably put in there in case of a disaster or something. 487 00:38:31,119 --> 00:38:34,800 » Yeah. >> Yeah. 488 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:37,440 » Well, really that applies more to the standard dealing with RV parks and the 489 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:40,880 fact that we don't want people permanently living in one of those. 490 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:43,760 That's the for the the old 14-day rule when it comes to RVs and not living in 491 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,760 it for more than >> I let me take a look at it. 492 00:38:45,359 --> 00:38:48,320 » Yeah. >> A little harder because I was really 493 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:53,040 looking at it from a little different perspective. But um I mean if you want 494 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:56,880 to as a council we can just make sure and sure that is 14 days enough is and 495 00:38:55,280 --> 00:39:01,119 then I think that's a reasonable 496 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:05,520 » last section of the ordinance. Yeah. >> Last section of the ordinance. Yeah. 497 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:08,000 » Okay. Then I guess there's 498 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:10,960 » let's table it. >> Okay. Yeah, I don't even know if you 499 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:14,800 need to table it. If we if we verify that those two things are permitted, 500 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:17,520 then are you okay with that? >> We'll I'll double check and I'm sure 501 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,480 that's the case. And if that's fine, then 502 00:39:18,079 --> 00:39:23,560 » Okay, >> I think that'll do it. Okay. 503 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:23,560 » All right.
