[6:19] It is my great honor to have Councilwoman Cobb introduce the individual she has recognized

[6:27] for the ghost, the star award for this month.

[6:37] Good evening.

[6:38] I'm excited today.

[6:39] Today I'm honored to introduce Mrs. Sherry Kelly.

[6:44] She's a resident and a champion of compassion

[6:48] and community service in Column Clean.

[6:52] For over five decades, Miss Kelly has dedicated her life

[6:56] uplifting those around her five decades. That was when I began doing politics and

[7:03] working for the City of Colleen. I met her at a national night out. That's been

[7:08] some time ago. It's been a while and you never stopped working. You're unwavering

[7:14] support for individuals facing challenges whether through providing food, school

[7:20] supplies or simply a listening ear, illustrate the boundaries, empathy, and commitment to our community.

[7:30] Even calling me at 11, saying you're going over to get somebody. And for me to come,

[7:35] but we did learn and I loan with this meeting yesterday, we had a town hall that we call our police

[7:41] and our persons who can come and do it. If you call me, you may be in trouble.

[7:47] Sherry's strength comes from her faith, reminding us all of resistance and love, her work with

[7:54] the keep-cleaning, beautiful, her initiative exemplifies her dedication to creating a thriving

[8:01] environment for all residents.

[8:05] By partnering with various organizations and participating in key events, like National

[8:11] light out, she has inspired me to give back, but you do it with a heart and that really matters

[8:17] when you have compassionate. When we keep doing good, good comes back to us. We can never

[8:24] forget that. Today we recognize you, Ms. Kelly, not only for your remarkable contributions,

[8:29] but also for being a beacon of hope in our community. It is with great pride that I present

[8:36] you, the Star Wars. I think even like so. What do you see?

[8:42] That's like, it's like, it's like so. Like you, you light up when you see your

[8:47] persons and your neighbors alone with this, you're ready to go out. I'm glad

[8:51] she's low pants told you that, come on, one, one. Don't forget to do that. We

[8:58] recognize you, Ms. Kaley, not only for your remarkable contributions, but also

[9:02] for being a beacon, a hope in our community.

[9:05] It is with great pride that I present you the Star Award

[9:08] and recognition of your contribution

[9:11] and the way you volunteer to better our community.

[9:14] Please join me in recognizing Ms. Kelly

[9:17] for her commitment to service to your community,

[9:21] to your neighbors to have that compassion in your heart

[9:24] for the people of Cooley.

[9:27] I want to give you this little box here, Cooley,

[9:33] I

[9:35] just want to say thank you, and without these ladies here support at home, I don't think I'd be able to do quite the job that this lady brings with that I'm doing.

[9:45] I have a wonderful family and I have a great support system in Luma Vista, whether it's my neighbor's families, everybody kind of pitching in, watching out for each other and letting us know when they're staying during the neighborhood and that's really important.

[9:57] And uh, just don't be afraid to love someone.

[10:00] Somebody and doing quorum in your life, make a little room count. That's what we want to say. Thank you, thank you.

[11:22] Thank you councilwoman Cobb for recognizing an extraordinary person in our community for the start war.

[11:32] will deserve.

[11:37] We're now going to our work session, discuss items, agenda items, 2 through

[11:43] 18, for the September 16th, 2025 Regal Love meeting session, no final actions until

[11:51] a regular section.

[11:54] Men's Secretary.

[11:57] MN-2502-3, consider minutes of regular City Council meeting of August 19, 2025, RS-25145, consider

[12:08] a memorandum resolution, approving the investment reports for the quarter-ended June 30,

[12:14] Thank you.

[12:16] Mrs. Tangolin.

[12:18] Good afternoon.

[12:19] Good afternoon.

[12:20] Thank you, Mayor.

[12:21] Thank you, Council.

[12:22] According to the financial governance policy, we are required to provide a percent, a

[12:28] quality report for investments, and today Mr. Grover is here to give the presentation.

[12:36] Good afternoon.

[12:38] Thank you.

[12:39] Hard to believe we have another quarter under our belts.

[12:42] Yes, sir.

[12:43] All right.

[12:44] So we just spoke a little bit ago about some of the current events.

[12:48] So just keeping it more timely here.

[12:51] This week, we actually, the Fed Federal Reserve is meeting, so very timely as far as current events goes.

[12:58] The Federal Reserve has not done any rate cuts this year, so essentially, we have left rates unchanged since they cut rates a full percent last year.

[13:08] Ironically, they didn't do anything last year until September.

[13:12] So we're kind of repeating the same patterns that we did last year up to this point.

[13:16] And right now, we expect the Fed to cut a quarter percent at a minimum tomorrow.

[13:22] So what that means is that all of our cash rates overnight positions are going to drop

[13:28] by about a quarter percent if they go more, you can expect cash rates to fall with it.

[13:33] However, the markets kind of work ahead of themselves, and we've started to see interest rates

[13:39] from one year, out to 10 years,

[13:42] already starting to reprise a lower for future interest rates.

[13:46] So essentially what we're buying today

[13:48] has already factored in that rate cut for tomorrow.

[13:52] So what we'll see is if the Fed decides to cut more

[13:54] than a quarter percent, you might see the markets

[13:56] react a little more aggressively

[13:58] and see yield drop a little more.

[14:01] So what we've been talking about here

[14:03] over the last year or so,

[14:05] lengthening the portfolio, locking and interest rates.

[14:07] This has been very valuable, because now that rates have already started to come down, the city's portfolio has been very well protected and insulated to that.

[14:18] This is some key observations from June.

[14:21] You know, so the main things here and talking about is really just the fact that, you know, it's ironic back in May and June.

[14:27] You know, the Fed was very biased. That the labor market was still showing resiliency. It was strong.

[14:34] Although inflation was coming down, they felt that there was no need to really cut interest rates.

[14:38] If you fast forward to today, that tune has changed significantly.

[14:42] We've last few months reports, labor market unemployment is starting to rise not aggressively,

[14:49] but it's trending in the direction that there are a little more concerned with.

[14:52] And for that reason, they feel like to now is the time to start cutting interest rates again at a gradual pace.

[14:59] And so by the end of the year.

[15:00] We are expecting the Fed to cut at least two to three times by the end of December.

[15:09] On the top right chart here, you'll see this is expected Fed funds rate into the future. Essentially, what this is showing you, this is as of July, but the fall on the very far side there, you can see it's showing you a range of 3.7 to 3.8%. Today, the Fed funds rate is a 4.3.

[15:27] So that shows us that the markets are pricing in that the Fed could cut up to, you know,

[15:32] a half a percent of three quarters per cent by the end of the year.

[15:37] So key things for us is we go forward here.

[15:40] We're really wanting to continue to lock in interesting comb and rates for the portfolio.

[15:44] So the Fed is going to embark on cutting interest rates into the end of this year and next year.

[15:50] We want to make sure we're locking in today's rates out as long as possible to protect ourselves from further rates going lower.

[15:59] Some of the key updates from a quarter of a quarter, so from March to June you can see the average yield in the portfolio was relatively unchanged.

[16:07] This is a big important reason why we're trying to lock in interest rates, because when you lock into a fixed rate, you're not as sensitive to what the Federal Reserve is doing on a quarter of a quarter basis.

[16:21] Looking at the actual portfolio?

[16:27] So looking at the actual portfolio, you're going to see us continuing to try to get more into

[16:30] that three or four, four to five year area, but also monitoring the overnight cash portion.

[16:36] The city has big debt payments and overnight, you know, day to day payments that need to

[16:41] be met.

[16:41] So we're always going to make sure we have overnight cash on hand, as well as positioning funds

[16:46] inside of a year to help with liquidity needs.

[16:49] But as the outlook on the interest rates continue to move lower, like I said, reinvestment

[16:54] focuses are going to be longer into that three to five year portion and

[17:00] I'll leave you with

[17:01] that. Any questions for me? Any questions for council?

[17:07] Sir, thank you once again for coming and to give us that update.

[17:12] Of course.

[17:13] It's tango land, do you have anything else?

[17:16] All right, thank you, Bob.

[17:17] Thank you.

[17:18] Madam Secretary.

[20:25] I'm sorry, you got a question for whom?

[20:31] Okay, well, yes, ma'am, we're not discussed.

[30:11] Okay. Councilwoman, call, do you have, okay, you know, okay. If it's only one applicant.

[30:17] There are two applicants. Councilwoman, this board.

[31:57] General Contractor?

[32:23] Council Member Candice.

[32:26] Is it what many positions?

[32:29] There are four vacancies.

[32:32] One of those terms did expire last year because we don't have enough applicants on file to fill the

[32:37] position.

[32:38] And so we just have two applicants on file currently.

[32:41] So we still don't have enough applicants to fill all the positions.

[32:43] Do you counsel them with a dollar?

[32:49] Sir.

[32:51] We're going to pass on that one and we discussed it offline.

[33:18] All of these that say that their term expires, but are they?

[33:24] You have one of them that can be re-appointed, Mr. Frawley.

[33:29] He requested re-appointment, yes, sir.

[33:32] Okay, and the other three did not.

[33:34] That is correct.

[33:41] I did not have applications on file for those other three individuals.

[33:47] I understand.

[33:48] But there are applicants, there are all citizen reps.

[33:59] So what is concern?

[34:02] Council member, is.

[34:03] Well, my initial thought was to re-appoint the four that are currently there,

[34:11] but it appears

[34:13] two or three of them did not request to be re-appointed.

[34:17] Okay.

[34:22] Would you like me to come back?

[34:29] Yeah, I would like to re-appoint the four that are there if we can, if they're willing to stay.

[34:37] I cannot speak to, if they're willing to stay in those positions or not, since they did not apply.

[34:43] So we'll come back and count some.

[34:45] Come back.

[34:46] Count some.

[34:47] I mean, count some members, average.

[34:49] You can call them because we don't have to pull them on another agenda in the way.

[34:54] Anyway, and we'll just come back to those.

[34:56] Yes, now.

[34:57] We'll time to say.

[34:58] Thank you.

[34:59] We'll come back.

[35:39] Dylan Whiteys, Patsy Bracee, Camille Francis Howard, and Angela Ann Santos.

[35:48] Okay, thank you. Council, we have five people that are willing to stay all and if they're willing,

[35:54] if we got volunteers and they want to continue. That would be great, but you also have the opportunity

[36:00] if you have enough applications to fill in four new positions. What is your pleasure?

[36:07] Madam Mayor. Yes. I agree with what you're, it's a statement. I was

[36:12] able to continue to keep me there. And I will also like to

[36:15] nominate Camille Francis. I would. I think she, she's not already on

[53:15] RS-25148, consider a memorandum resolution awarding RFP-2532 Aviation Fuel Supplier and authorizing

[53:24] an agreement with App Fuel Corporation for Fuel Services at Colleen Regional Airport and

[53:30] Skylark Field in the amount of $340,000.

[53:38] Madam Secretary, thank you for that.

[53:41] Good afternoon, Mr. Provost.

[53:44] I get to have the new amount of mayor, city council, city manager.

[53:46] before you use the aviation fuel supply agreement

[53:49] for the Clean Regional Airport in Scholarfield.

[53:55] The City of Clean Aviation Department is pursuing a contract

[53:58] with a common aviation fuel supplier to ensure secure, reliable,

[54:02] and uninterrupted fuel supply essential for aviation operations.

[54:07] This initiative seeks to enhance service quality

[54:10] while establishing a profitable agreement for the aviation fuel procurement.

[54:24] This strategic approach not only guarantees a consistent supply of aviation

[54:27] field that also positions the city to benefit from competitive pricing and quality service

[54:32] in the aviation sector.

[54:40] Touchy today.

[54:42] A request for a proposal was advertised on June 23rd, 2025, and three proposals were received

[54:48] on July 30th, 2025.

[54:51] Proposal cement and include afield cooperation, AEG fields, and Titan aviation fields.

[55:00] Having a thorough assessment of all submissions, staff determined that AFU corporation's proposal meets our operational needs and provides the best value for the city of Colleen.

[55:10] Staff has negotiated an aviation field supply agreement with AFU corporation. The term of the agreement is for a period beginning October 1, 2025, and ending September 30, 2077, with two one-year options.

[55:25] The aviation field supply agreement provides goods which generates revenue for both the Colleen Regional Airport and Skylarke Field.

[55:31] through resale or contract the delivery to air operators.

[55:35] The contract is expected to generate approximately $541,724 in revenue,

[55:40] with an estimated expenses totaling $340,000.

[55:46] Additionally, the agreement includes additional value added services

[55:49] at no extra cost such as three field trucks,

[55:51] free regulatory training, quality control equipment,

[55:54] regulatory signage and stickers, and other cost saving items.

[55:59] The recommendations for City Council approve the Aviation Field Supply Agreement with the

[56:03] AFU Corporation and authorize the City Manager or a design need to execute same as

[56:07] well as all, as well as any and all amendments and lease actions allowed for federal

[56:12] state and local law.

[56:14] Paying any questions.

[56:16] Thank you, sir.

[56:16] There are no questions.

[56:17] Thank you.

[56:18] Manufacturer.

[56:21] RS-25-150.

[56:23] Consider a memorandum resolution authorizing the renewal of a three-year Microsoft Enterprise

[56:28] agreement in the amount of $1,884,699.

[56:34] Thank you.

[56:36] Mr. Resto.

[56:38] Good afternoon, sir.

[56:45] Good afternoon, Mayor and Council.

[56:47] The item before each and night is the Microsoft Enterprise Agreement.

[56:52] So for the past three years, the city clean has utilized the purchase of the Microsoft

[56:56] products through an Enterprise Agreement which expires at September 30th of 2025.

[57:01] This agreement allows for volume pricing, flexible licensing, software updates, and access to the most current update versions of products like Windows Office 365

[57:13] OneDrive SharePoint Teams and our Microsoft Outlook, which is our email.

[57:25] The CDEA provides a foundation for its core infrastructure.

[57:29] So renewing the EIA for a new three year term ensures cost predictability, compliance and licensing requirements and access to the Microsoft latest technology.

[57:39] It also allows the IT department to maintain critical security patches and updates which are essential for protecting against cybersecurity threats and meeting compliance standards.

[57:53] And the state giant government is a certified Microsoft partner and is pricing is through the Texas DIR contract, DIR CPO, 5237.

[58:03] The annual cost of this three year Microsoft agreement is 628,233,233 dollars.

[58:11] This is a budget item that we included in our forecasting for our budget.

[58:19] Staff recommends that the city authorized the city manager or desk need to execute a contract

[58:23] for the procurement of a three year Microsoft Enterprise Agreement from S.H.I. Solutions,

[58:29] D.I.R. contracts, CPO, two, five, two, three, seven in the amount of $1,844, and $699.

[58:37] And dollars and the City Manager does need to express the, authorized, execute any and all, change orders,

[58:43] supplement agreements and amounts, set by state and local law.

[58:47] And I'm available for any questions that you might have.

[58:50] Mr. Resta, thank you on your staff. Not long for this, just ensure that our systems are safe.

[58:57] Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you.

[59:00] Thank you. Thank you.

[59:01] Madam Secretary.

[59:04] RS-25151.

[59:06] Consider a memorandum resolution of proving a fireworks display application

[59:09] from Big Dog Piro LLC on behalf of Advent Health Medical Center.

[59:15] Chief Kabiski.

[59:19] I know I saw him earlier.

[59:25] If I didn't want to go, I didn't want to leave without you, but you know, it's

[59:29] people who pay us trying to get the mic, so I had to hold them back.

[59:33] Mayor, I wanted to get his hopes up to give them opportunity to try to be a fireman for a minute.

[59:38] Yes, sir.

[59:39] Good afternoon, sir.

[59:41] Good afternoon, sir.

[59:41] Good afternoon, Mayor.

[59:42] Members of Council.

[59:43] Mr. City Manager.

[59:45] This is our third year with this request for the Edvent Health Fireworks Display.

[59:50] Section 11-6 of the Clean Code of Ordnance provides

[59:53] at City Council may permit use of fireworks for public display.

[59:57] The application requires a number of items.

[1:00:00] Which you see in your presentation, the application that was submitted did meet all of those requirements.

[1:00:07] Big dog Piro, LOC submitted the application for the display on behalf of Advent Health Medical Center, on August 6th, and this is for a display for breast cancer,

[1:00:17] a weird nismunth kickoff event that takes place on September 25th of this year from 815 to 845 p.m., is that Advent Health Medical Center, and all the licensing insurance,

[1:00:28] the site plan stores and the type of fireworks has been provided. Fire Martial has reviewed

[1:00:34] the application, the submitted documentation has been approved by the Fire Martial, and the

[1:00:39] Fire Department approval is contingent on whether conditions. We did go out to the site yesterday

[1:00:44] and inspect that site and make sure that the conditions have not changed. They have not,

[1:00:48] we are still recommending approval. And again, that is for September 25th, 2025.

[1:00:59] At the time of

[1:01:02] any action in order to assess the weather or drought, but we didn't expect again that site

[1:01:07] on the 15th of September, giving formal recommendations tonight, also letting you know

[1:01:13] that we will go out to the site again prior to the shoot and make sure that the conditions

[1:01:17] have not changed, and at any time the fire marshal has the authority to stop the shoot if we

[1:01:22] do reach some drought conditions over the next 10 days that cause of any reason for concern.

[1:01:28] So, it's our recommendation that we approve the permit request as presented by Big Dog Pyro this evening.

[1:01:36] And I'm here for any questions.

[1:01:39] Thank you Chief. I'm not sure if you state it.

[1:01:42] Someone will be there on site during the flower display or not.

[1:01:48] That is correct. The fire marshals office.

[1:01:50] So, the approval of the permit is by city council motion and direction.

[1:01:56] And then the fire marshal's office is out on site through the entire firework shoot.

[1:02:02] They inspect the site ahead of time and inspect the fireworks work with the vendor who is the same vendor that does the fourth of July fireworks for the city.

[1:02:12] So they're respected vendor and then they stay on site through the completion of the shoot.

[1:02:17] Just for any misfired fireworks, they make sure those are taken care of and then that's when the fire marshal's office leaves the scene.

[1:02:23] Yes, sir. Evan, help us a great partner with this idea of coming in, and it is for worthy calls.

[1:02:31] Yes. All right. Thank you. Thank you.

[1:02:34] Madam Secretary.

[1:02:37] RS-25152, consider a city council resolution of support for an endorsement from the Texas

[1:02:43] Municipal League TML for Mayor Protemriochos Adams to fill a leadership role in the National League of Cities and LC.

[1:02:53] Thank you.

[1:02:56] I guess

[1:03:02] I guess I can. Oh, this is your item. I can take it, man.

[1:03:09] But yeah, is it okay? Want you a message?

[1:03:19] Yes, sir. Okay. I'm council. This same is last year.

[1:03:24] T&L started a process with any Texas elected official, be a nominated, or potentially be

[1:03:31] nominated to an NLC position to get resolution of support from their local council before they consider.

[1:03:38] The ultimate decision for any appointments of the president in L.C.,

[1:03:45] council do you have in class?

[1:03:46] I was there and there's no extra cost or a single cost in this case, either.

[1:03:52] Council, do you have any questions?

[1:03:55] Council member of Solomon.

[1:03:58] Thank you, Madam Mayor.

[1:04:00] What position is this to consider?

[1:04:05] the for this is for any leadership position. I currently in the Vice Chair of the Transportation Infrastructure Committee.

[1:04:12] So the continued to serve in that position, the TML has either, will either endorse what not endorse.

[1:04:20] Thank you, Mayor Putin. Thank you, Madam Mayor.

[1:04:22] Madam Secretary.

[1:04:25] RS-25153, consider a memorandum resolution awarding RFP-2542 to Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas.

[1:04:34] B-C-B-S-T-X for an excess risk policy stop loss insurance for medical and pharmacy claims

[1:04:43] under the City Health Insurance Plan, effective October 1, 2025, in the amount of $1,356,969.

[1:04:52] I'm Secretary, Mrs. McDaniel have item 11, 12, 13.

[1:05:00] I won't be calling on you. Once you finish, if council don't have questions, just go to the next one.

[1:05:07] Yes, ma'am.

[1:05:07] Thank you.

[1:05:09] Good afternoon, ma'am.

[1:05:10] Good afternoon, Mayor and council.

[1:05:12] As stated, we're here tonight or this afternoon to discuss our stop loss insurance renewal.

[1:05:17] The city health care benefit is a self-insured benefit platform.

[1:05:21] And therefore, the city must bid stop loss insurance to protect on the city from high medical claims.

[1:05:26] And in July of 25, the city lies the request for bid to select a stop-loss insurance provider.

[1:05:37] Just a little background, what stop-loss does is predict the city from catastrophic or unpredictable losses.

[1:05:43] Due to high claimants, it's got both a specific and an aggregate coverage.

[1:05:47] The specific stop-loss coverage is when claims exceed $200,000, the stop-loss would kick in.

[1:05:53] And then the aggregate is kind of a moving target as it's based on a 125% of our predicted claims which changes every 30 days.

[1:06:04] The city received beds from only one vendor and that was Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas in the amount of 1,356,969 dollars.

[1:06:13] And therefore our recommendation is to award that bid to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas effective October 1,356,969 dollars.

[1:06:23] I'm happy to answer any questions you might have.

[1:06:25] Yes, ma'am.

[1:06:26] Thank you.

[1:06:26] Would you be willing to go with them?

[1:06:28] Would go all as if they were the only be it?

[1:06:31] We've had a good track record.

[1:06:33] But then so far, so I wouldn't hesitate.

[1:06:35] Okay.

[1:06:35] Thank you.

[1:06:38] R.

[1:06:39] R.

[1:06:40] S. 25.

[1:06:41] Consider a memorandum resolution.

[1:06:43] Approving the appointment of an assistant city manager.

[1:06:46] Yes, ma'am.

[1:06:47] Thank you.

[1:06:49] Okay.

[1:06:49] Again, good afternoon.

[1:06:51] a little bit of background on September 2nd, so just a two, two days ago, the City Council

[1:06:55] approved an annual budget for FY26, which included the addition of a second city assistant

[1:07:01] city manager authorization. The city manager has selected Mr. Jeff Reynolds as the city

[1:07:07] of Colleen's newest city manager. Mr. Rental Reynolds is the city's current executive director

[1:07:13] of public works. He spent the entirety of his 10 plus years of public service with the city

[1:07:18] of Colleen and he received his bachelor's of business administration and marketing degree from

[1:07:22] Columbia Southern University and holds various certifications with FEMA and the Department

[1:07:27] of Defense.

[1:07:29] And therefore staff recommends the City Council approve the City Manager's appointment

[1:07:33] of Mr. Reynolds's the City of Colleen's newest assistant city manager and Mr.

[1:07:46] Reynolds's

[1:07:49] So there's a lot of communication that's going on in the public.

[1:07:55] A lot of criticism and reference to why do we need another assistant sitting manager.

[1:08:02] I think you are more than qualified with your credentials and also in my opinion, your leadership skill.

[1:08:13] But for peace of mind and for the residents, what makes you the person to

[1:08:25] feel that assistant

[1:08:27] a city manager position, what do you bring to the table?

[1:08:34] Yes ma'am, I think that's a valid question and valid concerns from all those who are concerned

[1:08:40] about and personnel.

[1:08:43] a little bit of background about me that you don't know. I spent a third of my career in my 21

[1:08:49] years in Army here in Colline at Fort Hood. So I have a connection to this area. I chose to come

[1:08:56] back here. I came here initially as an e4 spec for an Army back in 93. I came back here. It chose

[1:09:02] to be back here to be back with the first care division in 2008 and chose this as my retirement home

[1:09:10] because I didn't want to bring my family back here.

[1:09:13] In 2005, I traveled through here.

[1:09:16] We lost our son here at Fort Hood.

[1:09:19] And that's, we have roofs here.

[1:09:22] That's why we're back here.

[1:09:23] So I'll always be here because my son is here.

[1:09:26] So I do have ties to Colleen.

[1:09:28] So if you actually want to walk here back to Lee,

[1:09:29] why don't I want to be here.

[1:09:30] I think that answers that question here because my son is here.

[1:09:34] And this is home for me now.

[1:09:37] Why do I bring to the table?

[1:09:39] Been in the Army for 21 years.

[1:09:41] I decided to join Army immediately out of the high school.

[1:09:44] I was in base training through the South of graduation.

[1:09:47] Because I had a hankering to serve.

[1:09:50] I wanted to serve.

[1:09:51] I did join Army because I wanted to college money.

[1:09:53] I didn't join because I wanted to travel.

[1:09:54] I joined because I wanted to serve my country.

[1:09:57] Coming here to the city of Colleen and getting this job in 2000.

[1:10:00] 114, it gave me another opportunity to serve, and another capacity. Right next to the place that I retire from is Fort Hood.

[1:10:08] So to be able to serve this community, the 1630,000 plus, as well as the 1400 plus projected employees, we're going to have for FY26.

[1:10:18] This is a great opportunity, and this city of clean has been my only municipal government experience.

[1:10:25] I came here as a manager of morning drainage.

[1:10:27] I work my way up to be the Assistant Director of Public Works,

[1:10:30] also overseen operations for the solid waste for three years,

[1:10:33] and then moved up to executive director positions

[1:10:35] so I've been groomed for this day.

[1:10:38] I do believe I work hard to collaborate

[1:10:41] with all departments in the city from police and far

[1:10:44] to finance the HR.

[1:10:46] To have a department in the city,

[1:10:47] I work with them alongside them built relationships,

[1:10:50] built relationships in the community,

[1:10:52] community partner relationships.

[1:10:53] I believe that what I bring to the table is that that that that level of leadership and normally we say

[1:10:59] Leadership is the purpose of providing purpose to direction and motivation and it's important that we do that

[1:11:05] While we're doing what we do on how we're going to do it and then providing the drive to accomplish that

[1:11:11] Said mission. That's why that's what I bring to the table said it manages the chief executive officer

[1:11:16] my job as well as the Lord's job is to support him in that role making sure we go on out here

[1:11:22] provided in day-to-day operations, and any time you have that many employees, 13 departments,

[1:11:28] it take more than one person, more than two people to manage and provide adequate purpose

[1:11:35] direction of motivation to those departments. And that's what we've got to have. We've got to make

[1:11:39] sure we've been efficient, make sure we've provided in the best possible service, not just to

[1:11:43] our citizens, but also to the 1400 employees that call us family. We've got to provide that.

[1:11:49] The model was dedicated service every day to everyone.

[1:11:52] We can't do that if we're not properly staff at every level.

[1:11:55] I think this position and this position not because it's me.

[1:11:59] It could have been whoever.

[1:12:00] I would have been supportive of this position because the position is needed to provide that

[1:12:05] level of leadership to assist our city manager who all of staff trust and I trust 100% as

[1:12:11] well as this council.

[1:12:13] I want to thank all of you for giving me an opportunity to be here tonight.

[1:12:16] This is not something I would have a dream would have happened, but to be here tonight, to have a confidence of the city manager, you got this this council and the team.

[1:12:27] All the executive directors are coming to me and endorsed me in this position, I appreciate that support.

[1:12:31] But more importantly, I want to thank the employees who showed us our stand-home.

[1:12:35] I didn't get hit because of the people in this room for the most part because of employees that allow me to be there later for the last 12 years.

[1:12:43] So with that being said, I'm here to serve in this capacity, I'm ready to rock and roll.

[1:12:48] Mr. Reynolds, I have known to you, when the day when you start working for the city of

[1:12:55] Colleen, I was a volunteer all the way up to the position that you hold now.

[1:13:01] This is right.

[1:13:01] And two qualities that they are without questioning.

[1:13:06] Your customer service is the best I've ever seen across the military, and also, and most

[1:13:16] municipalities into your leadership.

[1:13:21] When I'm out there thinking I'm getting over by checking on your employees, you already

[1:13:26] been there or I think you will end up when I get there, you lead by example.

[1:13:32] And I thank you for your transparency, because people don't know your store. Sometimes we

[1:13:39] just assume people just wake up one day and boom, here I am, but you started with employees

[1:13:45] already now and you worked extremely hard to get where you are now. And I am so excited.

[1:13:52] I can speak for the council, but I look forward to working with you as an Assistant City Manager.

[1:13:59] I think Mr. Kagels, thank you and Ms. McDaniel, did an excellent job in your selection process

[1:14:07] and more so I like what you say it. The other executive directors and employees support you.

[1:14:15] And I think that's the right person for the job. And thank you for telling the public who you are

[1:14:20] and what you bring to the table. Thank you. Councilmember Avris.

[1:14:25] Thank you Mayor, I want to say a couple of words.

[1:14:29] I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Reynolds during my tenure as an employee of the city

[1:14:35] of Killing.

[1:14:37] So I've seen his work firsthand, his ability to enter a room and inspire camaraderie and

[1:14:47] team building.

[1:14:49] Everybody who knows Jeff knows he has a servant's heart and he has that quality of a true

[1:14:55] leader. Everybody who who who is.

[1:15:00] Work with Mr. Reynolds. I mean, it's evident in all their words of support. Any employee that I've talked to in the city of Colleen, then and now has only ever had positive things to say about Mr. Reynolds.

[1:15:17] I know he makes us look good any time that we have a resident with a concern. I know that if I put it in the hands of Mr. Reynolds, it's going to get addressed.

[1:15:28] And not only that, he has that, those traits, those characteristics and that bedside manner

[1:15:37] to hear the residents' concerns.

[1:15:40] And when they walk away and they come back to us, they tell us all the good things.

[1:15:44] And sometimes it may not be the answer that they wanted to hear, but they're still happy

[1:15:49] when they walk away from their interaction with Mr. Reynolds and that is a tell-tell

[1:15:54] sign of a leader, so I am honored and excited and proud to see you rise to this position.

[1:16:04] Thank you, sir.

[1:16:10] Thank you, Madam.

[1:16:11] Thank you for asking the question that you posed.

[1:16:13] It does a fair question and congratulations.

[1:16:16] You know, should we decide to go this way?

[1:16:17] I'm extremely, I should have the sentiment of my former council member Alvarez and also Madam Mayor.

[1:16:24] You said that level of leadership.

[1:16:25] You make it look too easy, sir.

[1:16:27] and your words too easy.

[1:16:29] But I am thankful for this opportunity for you.

[1:16:33] Mr. K, I do think in all fairness for the citizenry,

[1:16:36] I think that when we start looking at the reasons

[1:16:38] while we're growing and you did touch on the fact

[1:16:40] that we do have to start working efficiently, smarter,

[1:16:43] not harder and creating a balance at every level

[1:16:46] of leadership as it relates to running our city.

[1:16:49] Mr. K, I do think that we should address

[1:16:50] the four of the community, what that position looks like in general

[1:16:54] And then how those doing these would be divided.

[1:16:57] I know that like the city of Temple has two assistance

[1:16:59] that he manages.

[1:17:00] Cities are size.

[1:17:01] I think it's over 100,000 generally

[1:17:03] in populations how they structure it.

[1:17:05] Typically, we have two if that's correct.

[1:17:07] But can you explain to the citizens why you feel

[1:17:09] as a city manager?

[1:17:10] We are in fact right outside of the general, which is population,

[1:17:13] that we already have, in fact, for another assistance

[1:17:15] that he manager?

[1:17:17] I think it's been needed for a long time.

[1:17:21] It's not just now.

[1:17:24] just had the opportunity to make it work. It's probably should have done this some time ago,

[1:17:30] but yes, and as you said, there's plenty of cities under 100,000 have to or three in

[1:17:38] city smaller than us that haven't even more than that. But the way this would be split up under

[1:17:44] Mr. Reynolds, you're going to say public works is a huge department. And so we would, if this is

[1:17:52] Director, but we will split up public works a little bit, where the traditional public works

[1:17:57] of streets, utilities, water, would be under a new public works director, but we'll

[1:18:04] have solid waste report directly to Mr. Reynolds, and it's hard to find someone in the

[1:18:09] public works arena that has all of those experience in all of those departments.

[1:18:14] And then development services engineering, community development would be under Mr. Reynolds.

[1:18:20] police fire finance legal will continue to report to me and then on on Ms. Wilson side

[1:18:28] would continue with the departments that she's had aviation animal control HR, IT, Parks

[1:18:33] and REC and State Cemetery and I don't think I left anybody out. I just jotted those down.

[1:18:40] Yes and development services that's under Mr. Reynolds.

[1:18:46] Thank you and the same colleagues going to be like you to have your leadership shared with us

[1:18:50] across the board. Thank you.

[1:18:51] Council, I'm a cop, and Council member of Solomon.

[1:18:56] All right, congratulations, Mr. Reynolds.

[1:18:59] That should be a good people.

[1:19:01] But you know what it really means.

[1:19:04] Leadership is not a position or a title.

[1:19:08] I can be called Councilwoman All Day.

[1:19:10] You can be called Assistant City Manager All Day.

[1:19:14] But what's exciting about it is what you do.

[1:19:18] It's your action.

[1:19:19] I can't like get a little upset sometimes when I call something constituent and district 3 and I said,

[1:19:25] well this is what we're going to do and this is how it's going to happen and one of my constituents

[1:19:31] always tell me I'm going to call Mr. Reynolds. I said okay, call Mr. Reynolds and let's see if he says the same thing

[1:19:39] that I've just told you. So, happening, we say at the same thing and he'll call me back, he said, well,

[1:19:45] I guess that'll go Miss Car. I'm happy with that. Well, I'm happy today. Because when you work hard,

[1:19:53] I think deal on saying it. When you look good, you work hard, and you do the right things. You're all right.

[1:20:00] So, Mr. Reynolds, you're going to be all right. Thank you for serving our city.

[1:20:05] Thank you, Madam.

[1:20:07] Council Member Salam.

[1:20:09] Yes, so thank you, Madam Mayor. Mr. Reynolds, thank you. I want to say this that we were, the city,

[1:20:22] has improved since she came in the director of public works, and we are better off because

[1:20:28] of you and your staff, and what you do, I've been down there a few times, and it's

[1:20:34] so impressed of your leadership, and it shows among the employees, and I think that we

[1:20:46] are better off having you in this position to see is will benefit greatly because of this.

[1:20:56] And, you know, the citizens, some people, they actually will, how, what would have benefited

[1:21:01] will benefit the community and breaking down in these positions. And so, thank you for what

[1:21:09] you have done. And in advance, thank you all what you're going to do in this position.

[1:21:14] God bless you.

[1:21:16] Thank you.

[1:21:16] Council Member Kendrick.

[1:21:20] All right.

[1:21:22] Everything everybody I already said was great things.

[1:21:26] But I will tell a story.

[1:21:28] It's a short story when I met Mr. Ronald.

[1:21:33] Your leadership is outstanding.

[1:21:35] From the moment I walked into your office,

[1:21:38] I was welcomed.

[1:21:41] I almost was ready to put on a uniform and go to work for you that day, you know, I'm

[1:21:48] on retirement, but I mean you just made me feel so welcome and that is what we need.

[1:21:54] When you have that welcome, you have employees that are willing to stay, willing to when

[1:22:00] things aren't going totally their way, they got good leadership, they will follow that leadership,

[1:22:07] but they will run through a brick wall for that leadership.

[1:22:10] They will do the most for that leadership.

[1:22:14] And without going into everything there,

[1:22:15] by the saying, I just want to say thank you

[1:22:18] for one soldier to another.

[1:22:19] That's advancing in its career.

[1:22:22] Continue with the way that you are going.

[1:22:26] And I see nothing but great things.

[1:22:29] Thank you, Councilman.

[1:22:31] And I also just want to do a side note.

[1:22:33] Council is that all our executive directors

[1:22:37] They do an amazing job in their department.

[1:22:42] I guess, more so with Mr. Reynolds, when it comes to the infrastructure, Mr. Andrew, and

[1:22:50] we see, he has the waste management when they pick up your trash.

[1:22:54] So we have a lot of residents that call us on those issues, concerns, and they may not

[1:23:01] your issue just to concern the standard department too, and it doesn't take away from our care

[1:23:06] and assisted city manager. Mrs. Wilson, who have held the reins with Mr. Cagel and carried

[1:23:15] a lot of weight so we know how much she can bear. We just owe one hard to break. And Mrs. Wilson,

[1:23:23] I want to thank you for what you have done coming here and carrying a ball across the line

[1:23:29] to assist Mr. Kago with move in the city for Mr. Reynolds if the council appoint him will only enhance the city.

[1:23:41] I don't want to take away from my barred chief, I'm always chief in all our executive directors because they all do an amazing job.

[1:23:49] Mr. Kago just chose a handful of this particular time.

[1:23:54] All right. Thank you, Mr. Reynolds.

[1:23:56] I didn't see you here any time now.

[1:24:03] I'm out of May.

[1:24:04] I also applaud and I fully support this appointment.

[1:24:07] I think this, the two assistant city manager, Ms. Kagel, is nominated.

[1:24:13] Rationalists.

[1:24:14] Ms. Wilson now Mr. Reynolds. I applaud you on those.

[1:24:17] Those appointments.

[1:24:19] I also want to point a personal note.

[1:24:20] It served with Jeff in the army.

[1:24:23] And during the appointment, I've seen him first there.

[1:24:25] be kind of the kind of leader under pressure that we need.

[1:24:29] His professionalism, his humility, his leadership,

[1:24:34] has already shown in public works.

[1:24:35] I only fear is now trying to find the public works

[1:24:37] to record that and step up to the plate.

[1:24:41] But I do believe it's transition to become one

[1:24:43] of our sister city managers, but strengthen our leadership team

[1:24:46] and ensure continuity that we need and give us

[1:24:49] all who already understand both the operational challenges

[1:24:52] and the community we serve.

[1:24:56] Thank you, Mayor Protem. Thank you Council for your kind words in your

[1:25:00] Comfort that's in our care leadership and in the leader to our senior leadership team. Thank you,

[1:25:07] McDaniel, Mrs. McDaniel and Mr. Reynolds. Madam Secretary, I say, I was not on the

[1:25:13] sale, but I just want to know.

[1:25:16] Yes, ma'am. Madam Mayor, I'll read the next two. They are similar and both presented by Miss McDaniel.

[1:25:24] Yes, ma'am.

[1:25:25] Oh R-25-01-2.

[1:25:28] Consider an ordinance to amend the number of authorized civil service positions for the clean police department.

[1:25:33] Oh R-25-01-3.

[1:25:36] Consider an ordinance to amend the number of authorized civil service positions for the clean fire department.

[1:25:43] Good afternoon again.

[1:25:44] I apologize.

[1:25:45] I want to acknowledge Assistant City Manager.

[1:25:48] He's called from the Andrew Mr. Reveille.

[1:25:51] But he came to see Mr. Reynolds, but he was in the audience.

[1:25:54] Okay. I apologize.

[1:25:55] Let's go ahead, I'll go ahead.

[1:25:59] As discussed, the civil service system was established back in 1977.

[1:26:06] And city council by ordinance is prescribed,

[1:26:08] a shall prescribed the number of authorizations in each classification.

[1:26:12] Currently, the police department civil service staffing is

[1:26:14] 218 police officers, 30 sergeants, 10 Lieutenant's,

[1:26:19] 4 captains, and 2 assistant chiefs of police.

[1:26:24] One decision package was approved and FY26 annual budget, which would increase these staffing

[1:26:31] levels.

[1:26:33] The budget was approved now we have to approve the ordinance.

[1:26:36] So we would be increasing to 222 police officers and 31 sergeants.

[1:26:42] The staff recommends that the city approved the ordinance, amending the total number of

[1:26:46] authorizations for police officers, positions increasing authorizations by four, and the

[1:26:51] start-up position increasing authorizations by one in support of the decision package it was approved

[1:26:56] in the FY26 annual budget. Can answer any questions? Thank you. Chief Lopez, please come to the

[1:27:03] mic. And Chief Kabanske is going to be the same question. The feedback we receive as you know

[1:27:10] is not always positive about why we add in positions. And I would like for both of you starting with

[1:27:16] Chief, a low pass. Why is this important, this position is important for the mission of the

[1:27:22] Polish Department? As our city grows, you know, we have some divisions growing up all over the city,

[1:27:27] we have new people coming in and we need to eventually expand our force. But this unit is going to be

[1:27:34] specifically set up for the downtown unit, who we have some areas in downtown that we need to address.

[1:27:39] And this unit, the one side and the forces are going to be assigned to handle those issues downtown

[1:27:46] when it comes to community engagement, to doing on crime prevention, classes, to addressing the root cause of crime and to identify those areas.

[1:27:55] So we're going to use those positions to bolster our position in our presence in the downtown area.

[1:28:00] Thank you, Douglas, and excellent response. Thank you.

[1:28:04] Could you give us a chance?

[1:28:06] Oh, you got to say it first.

[1:28:09] Yes, ma'am. I would just hear you get lost on how to get back on here.

[1:28:14] So similarly, for the fire department, you guys, the City Council would need to approve an ordinance to prescribe the number of authorizations. Currently, we have 211 fire rescue officers, 40 captains, six battalion chiefs, three deputy chiefs and two assistant chiefs of fire.

[1:28:35] Two decision packages were approved for FY 26 annual budget, and it immense these authorizations as follows. We would be actually decreasing one fire captain.

[1:28:47] to increase one battalion chief and then adding an additional deputy chief.

[1:28:52] So we are simply swapping a captain for a battalion chief and then adding a deputy chief.

[1:28:57] And again, this is done by ordinance and we recommend that you approve the ordinance,

[1:29:01] amending the total number of authorizations, decreasing fire captain by one, increasing battalion chief by one

[1:29:08] and adding an additional deputy chief position as approved in that way.

[1:29:13] 2016 you won't budget. Thank you Chief Cabins. You're always on the move. I'm surprised we could get you today because you'd like to be with

[1:29:20] your firefighters when they're out there doing the job you and Chief Lopez. So thank you both for taking the time to be here.

[1:29:28] Yes, ma'am absolutely. Let's address the the Battalion Chief at Captain item first. This is specifically for the fire marshals office and currently the fire marshals office has four captains that

[1:29:39] report directly to the assistant chief who is the fire marshal. This is giving us a

[1:29:46] line of succession for two different reasons. Number one to have an assistant fire marshal.

[1:29:51] And that's an extended responsibility that a battalion chief rank should have.

[1:29:56] So we're not taking any captains off of the operations division. That is staying the

[1:30:00] This is just to have that captain rank be moved to a battalion chief. That also gives us the ability right now where we have four captains who are reporting directly to an assisted chief by passing a battalion chief or deputy chief rank.

[1:30:14] It'd be like having an E3 report directly to a first sergeant for our military folks that just doesn't work in that line and that chain of commands, so it improves our communications and our chain of command as well.

[1:30:26] So that's that item. The second item being the fourth deputy chief. The fire department has grown by 33 people since I arrived here five years ago

[1:30:35] 9 for the addition of medic two and now 24 for the addition of station four

[1:30:41] You know our administrative team has not grown and there's a lot of responsibility that goes along with that

[1:30:46] So that deputy chief will be in charge of administration

[1:30:48] They will oversee buildings and vehicles equipment just on a very basic level some other things as well

[1:30:55] But again, an assistant chief is handling that day-to-day operational role of making sure

[1:31:01] fire engines are maintained, fire stations are maintained, and that really is a deputy chief

[1:31:06] role, but we just don't have the bandwidth with the current three deputy chiefs that are there.

[1:31:10] So this allows us to be able to pay attention to, we've done a great job paying attention

[1:31:14] to growing the force, but now we have to pay attention to maintaining the things that the force

[1:31:19] needs to be able to respond to the calls that our citizens rely on us to respond to.

[1:31:23] Yes, sir. Thank you.

[1:31:25] You're welcome, Emily.

[1:31:26] Any questions, Council?

[1:31:28] All right.

[1:31:29] Madam said.

[1:31:32] pH 25054.

[1:31:35] Hold a public hearing and consider an ordinance

[1:31:37] amending the fiscal year 2025 annual budget

[1:31:39] of the City of Clean to increase revenue

[1:31:41] and expense accounts in multiple funds.

[1:31:45] Welcome back, Mrs. Tangling.

[1:32:00] For the series financial governance policies section 5, budget administration B1,

[1:32:04] city council may amend or change the budget by ordinance.

[1:32:08] Additionally, Article 5, section 56 of the city charter requires a public hearing

[1:32:13] before penalizing any budget amendments that add or increase appropriations.

[1:32:19] This budget amendment ensures compliance with these requirements and addresses necessary

[1:32:23] adjustments, based on changes that have occurred since the beginning of the fiscal year.

[1:32:28] The required data support hearing was published in the local newspaper on September 11.

[1:32:36] The first one will be the general fund.

[1:32:38] This amendment transferred the projected access fund balance to the government of CIP fund for

[1:32:45] City Council direction on August 5 for one-time projects.

[1:32:49] That is for the fire department training tower.

[1:32:52] The police department impound a lot,

[1:32:54] and fleet addition for fiscal year 2026,

[1:33:04] the TML premiums.

[1:33:09] That transfer to UNICI and every single fund,

[1:33:12] because we'd prefer it to the ISF to cover those increases.

[1:33:18] And the editor entered an additional salary

[1:33:20] for hours beyond the budget.

[1:33:22] So you can see over here, this is the part-time salaries.

[1:33:26] This is the risk management 68,000 risk management I

[1:33:29] have said.

[1:33:30] And at all, we are going to apply the fund balances 1.3 million.

[1:34:15] to hot fund also a trailer for $7,000

[1:34:20] and the transfer to risk management ISF

[1:34:22] to cover that increase of the insurance premiums.

[1:34:27] For the three maintenance fund, fund balance allocated to the watercress road record fraction project,

[1:35:00] 277, an installation of forest corbors, also for the Texas parks and wild fall grant revenue, and related

[1:35:08] expenditures for the pickable corb project. So you can see here the naming rights and then the

[1:35:13] state-growing reimbursement to a 500 and this is the allocations for the expenditures.

[1:35:19] The total $98,000.

[1:35:25] For the Texas State Veterans 735, they are part for the risk management.

[1:35:32] for the solid waste fund.

[1:35:34] We are locating additional funds

[1:35:36] to cover increased refused disposal costs

[1:35:44] We increased the solid waste commercial services by 250

[1:35:51] And we have so many specialty disposed of it's 550.

[1:35:54] And here's the refusal disposal costs for 650.

[1:35:58] And they are part on the transfer to risk management.

[1:36:58] Yeah, this is for the transfers as a value of the tractor and the utility and to the utility enterprise fund.

[1:37:06] The additional revenue and offsetting operation expenses and fund balance allocated for one-time

[1:37:58] to pay for the insurance services in 114,000,

[1:38:29] In this slide here, and we also are allocating

[1:38:33] T-Dane grant revenue and corresponding expenditures.

[1:38:37] We require grant much funding from fund balance,

[1:38:40] allocating for generators, for grant acceptance letter.

[1:38:52] The fire station age back resolution 2564.

[1:38:55] and the crematorium building on the most services resolution of CF-51.

[1:39:02] This is the revenue,

[1:39:06] the classroom for the general fund,

[1:39:08] the state grant reimbursement, and the funds apply

[1:39:14] In this one's oven here,

[1:39:18] are the one time from general fund.

[1:39:20] This is the generator and the other three projects

[1:39:24] that it was approved by resolution, the total is 4 million.

[1:39:29] For

[1:39:40] aviation CIP funds, proceeds from aviation lease revenue bonds, that's in a couple of, I'm sorry, for the, that's in a couple of projects for ordinance, 25, that's 32, the bond proceeds were 3.5 and the project that is the building 3.5.

[1:40:00] As I inch into an issuance calls and pay edgen.

[1:40:07] For the aviation AIP fund, the grant revenue expenditures for

[1:40:11] resolution 25, that's 1, 10 for the escolar is KILARC, it was project.

[1:40:43] And the aviation PSE fund is the required grant much for the terminal mechanical and security

[1:40:49] impromence projects for the resource you want to receive in 2021-28.

[1:40:53] And the fund balance allocated for the PSE application and knowledge milleter total 318-454.

[1:41:03] For the water and sewer CRP fund, fund balance allocated for the resolution 25-69 for the

[1:41:11] of its building for 684, 1824.

[1:41:16] For the water impact fee fund, fund dollars allocated

[1:41:19] and the water impact fee fund to support professional agreement

[1:41:22] for updating the city's water and waste water impact fees

[1:41:26] for a solution 25, that's $1,193.

[1:41:32] For the water and sewer improvement bond,

[1:41:35] the process from water works and sewer system revenue bonds.

[1:41:38] This is to identify a located for designated capital projects

[1:41:42] for ordinate certified 032.

[1:41:46] We had budgeted 17 million so we are located the rest

[1:41:50] of the abone that we issued that it was total 27.

[1:41:57] This is the revenues and here's the all the

[1:42:00] projects that we are located with the abone.

[1:42:06] And this has slides memorized.

[1:42:08] They adopted budget by Funk categories.

[1:42:10] The CIP roll over, the two amendments previously approved this year and the proposed year and amendment.

[1:42:17] So if you look, this will be your doctor budget, this will be your CIP roll carry forward.

[1:42:22] And this is the budget one that we're doing right now, and this will be the amended budget.

[1:42:28] At the end of the year, after this is approved.

[1:42:33] The CIP roll amount reflects budget funds from projects that were approved in prior years,

[1:42:37] And that is the 126 million in accordance with the Capital Improvement Program adopted by

[1:42:44] Council in 2018, 18, this project budget automatically rolled forward at the beginning of

[1:42:51] each fiscal year and remains in place until the projects are completed.

[1:42:56] Because this role over occurs by policies, no additional budget or amendments require

[1:43:01] and this item did not come back before a council.

[1:43:04] So this is automatic rollover that we have every year for the projects.

[1:43:11] The recommendations, the City Council approved the ordinance.

[1:43:13] I'm ending the fiscal year 25 annual budget,

[1:43:16] and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

[1:43:19] Thank you.

[1:43:19] I have several questions.

[1:43:21] First of all, I want to give you a compliment on your slides.

[1:43:25] It was so simplistic.

[1:43:26] They were easy to read.

[1:43:28] So thank you for that.

[1:43:29] Yes, ma'am.

[1:43:30] Maybe I missed it.

[1:43:32] I didn't understand it.

[1:43:33] But I understood the fire tower for the fire station, but I thought Chief Kabanski requested something else, or did I miss it?

[1:43:45] Or was it Chief Lopez? No? No, the fire tower was the one that I was supposed to produce it. Yes, me. Okay.

[1:43:53] And one more thing, and I could be wrong, Mr. Hagel, you might have helped me with this.

[1:43:59] somewhere this year we talked about signage for clean coming in and out. Was that not

[1:44:06] included in a captain-project project or no? Yes ma'am it's in there. These were changes

[1:44:13] and that was approved during the budget process. So there's money to do two intersections.

[1:44:19] Okay. And in the suggestion is we start on the east and west side of town. Do one on each side

[1:44:24] in the next year, if more money is approved, we do the next two,

[1:44:28] till we've gotten all the way through town.

[1:44:30] Okay, those, those was on the two things.

[1:44:31] I don't remember, I just didn't say.

[1:44:33] But you say it's only the far, tower.

[1:44:36] It's, I'm sorry, is the training tower for the fire department?

[1:44:40] The impact allowed, the impact allowed for police department?

[1:44:44] If they should, don't work for the three points.

[1:44:46] Sorry, I didn't, okay.

[1:44:47] I'm sorry, it's all the time.

[1:44:48] Okay, I see it now.

[1:44:49] I apologize for that, thank you for that.

[1:44:53] Council member Kendrick.

[1:44:56] Okay, my question goes back to statement.

[1:45:00] I mean, the street maintenance fund, when we're talking about watercress reconstruction.

[1:45:07] I remember I asked the question in reference to it, when we had to do the first change order,

[1:45:15] whether or not the city was putting in more money, but the money was already allocated.

[1:45:19] How much money was left from that, and is the 336,697, an addition that needed to be done to water Chris?

[1:45:33] I'm assuming your question is, there was a change order, and this money would go toward the change order.

[1:45:40] no man the change order change order number one which from remembering correct there was a

[1:45:48] enough money's allocated initially for the correct and now we still we got another change order

[1:45:57] for $336,999 dollars what was left from what was already allocated from the first change order

[1:46:06] one. Yes. Okay. So change order 2 was already approved by Resolution 25082. I'm not sure if

[1:46:18] I'd want to speak off, but so his question is was there any money left over from change order 1?

[1:46:28] So he had two change orders on the watercress project. The first one was to add a

[1:46:33] And essentially a contingency amount, which, for small items that may occur during the site,

[1:46:38] you know, we have some changes, we find something, we have to have the contractors submit

[1:46:42] things like a change order, but we have such a lump sum money that we wanted in the contract.

[1:46:48] The second chain order was affected, was related to a bigger item, something that wasn't

[1:46:54] the small item.

[1:46:55] It was lime treatment on the roadway, base of the bad soils, there were some water issue,

[1:47:03] You know, water line issues that we had to change because of existing conditions, and it was a little bit more than what we considered those small changes, and so that's where we came with that larger change order.

[1:47:14] But the amount for the first one is still there. So if we have any items that are still coming during construction, then we pop up their small enough, we have that little amount reserves set aside to take care of those small things.

[1:47:26] And then at the end of the project, if it's still left over, it comes back into the

[1:47:32] bottom money that will go towards the other street.

[1:47:34] That's what I was trying to understand.

[1:47:37] All right.

[1:47:37] Thank you.

[1:47:46] Madam Mayor, I'll go ahead and read the next three.

[1:47:48] They'll be presented by the same presenter.

[1:47:52] PH-25-055, hold a public hearing and consider an ordinance submitted by Charles

[1:47:56] Ms. Emonson on behalf of Terry Blake Beardon, case number Z-2526, to reason approximately

[1:48:03] 1.26 acres out of a 2.15 acre tract in the T-Robinette Survey, abstract number 686,

[1:48:12] locally addressed as 3309, old farm to market 440, Colleen Texas, from our one single-family

[1:48:19] residential district to B-5 business district.

[1:48:22] P. H. 25056, hold a public hearing and consider an ordinance

[1:48:27] amending the city of Colleen Thurow Fair plan.

[1:48:30] P. H. 25057, hold a public hearing and consider an ordinance

[1:48:33] amending Colleen, code of ordinances, chapter 31, zoning.

[1:48:37] Establishing a site development permit process.

[1:48:41] Thank you, Madam Secretary. This is measure. Good afternoon, Mayor.

[1:48:45] Good afternoon, Mayor and Council.

[1:48:47] This item is a request to reason a piece of property, it's approximately 1.2 acres in size from its current zoning of R1 to B5 business district.

[1:49:04] The adjacent property to this south, as you may remember, was recently reasoned from R1 to B5 as well in August 19th.

[1:49:12] If approved, the applicant intends to purchase both properties and flat them into one lot in order to develop an automotive repair facility.

[1:49:18] subject property is located within the neighborhood infill area on the

[1:49:21] growth sector map and designated regional commercial on the future land use map.

[1:49:26] The red star in your screen indicates the location of that property. This is an

[1:49:30] aerial of the site, so you can see it's a narrow sliver on the southwest corner of

[1:49:35] Elm's and old FM440. This portion here was recently resound to be fine as well.

[1:49:45] This is a view of the subject property from Elm's Road facing south.

[1:49:50] View facing east on Elm's Road with the subject property on the right.

[1:49:56] View facing west with the subject property on the left.

[1:50:00] We note if I 32 surrounding properties are guarding this request and we've received one written response and support and one in opposition.

[1:50:08] This is the notification boundary for that property.

[1:50:12] Staff finds that the request for B5 is consistent with the future land use map.

[1:50:19] And we are therefore recommending approval of the applicant's request to raise on the property to be five.

[1:50:25] Planning and zoning commission on August 11th also recommended approval by a vote of five to zero.

[1:50:30] I'm happy to answer any questions you have.

[1:50:45] This item is a proposed amendment to the City of Clean Thurofair Plan.

[1:50:52] As you know, the thoroughfare plan establishes the transportation network for the city and establishes a framework for the orderly development of roadways.

[1:50:59] It includes their alignments, connections, and street classifications.

[1:51:03] And as the city grows, it becomes necessary to amend or revise the thoroughfare plan accordingly.

[1:51:07] This

[1:51:13] proposed amendment is necessary to align with the existing and proposed residential growth

[1:51:21] and to account for the topography of the area.

[1:51:25] This map shows the thoroughfare plan for the city and the location of the proposed amendment

[1:51:31] in this area here.

[1:51:35] On the left-hand side of your screen is the currently adopted thoroughfare plan,

[1:51:40] where you can see there is an east-west collector that is proposed to go from bunny-trail to Fort Hood Street.

[1:51:50] It's hard to tell from this map, but there's significant topography right here in that area, circled and blue.

[1:51:56] So the proposed collector would essentially run right through that hill.

[1:52:01] So what we're proposing to do on the left is to change that alignment to go around the topography and tie into the subdivision

[1:52:09] to the east, we're also proposing to change the classification of that from a collector to

[1:52:15] a residential collector, which has a slightly narrower street width.

[1:52:22] That finds, again, that the topography in the area would prevent the construction of the roadways

[1:52:26] as contemplated in the thoroughfare plan and by modifying the alignment classification of the

[1:52:30] thoroughfare, we'll ensure east-west connectivity from BuddyTrail to Forecoat Street.

[1:52:36] We are there for recommending approval is presented.

[1:52:39] And I think in zoning commission on August 11th also recommended approval by a vote of 5 to 0.

[1:52:44] Happy answering questions.

[1:52:46] Thank you.

[1:52:46] There are no questions.

[1:52:48] PH-25-1057.

[1:53:02] The third item tonight.

[1:53:03] It's my third item.

[1:53:04] Tonight is a proposed amendment to chapter 31 of the code of ordinances.

[1:53:09] Regarding a site development permit process.

[1:53:15] So as you know on June 17th,

[1:53:16] The City Council approved the new FY26V schedule, which provides for a new fee for commercial

[1:53:24] site plan review. The new fee will go into effect on October 1st of this year. Purpose

[1:53:30] of the proposed ordinance is to establish a permit requirement and a process for review

[1:53:35] of commercial site plans. If approved, the proposed ordinance also goes into effect on October 1st.

[1:53:41] The fee structure for commercial site plan review is $1,000 for properties 0 to 5 acres,

[1:53:50] more than 5 acres up to 15 acres is $2,000 and over 15 acres would be $2,500.

[1:53:58] If approved, the proposed ordinance will establish clean code of ordinances,

[1:54:02] chapter 31, article 8, site development permit required.

[1:54:06] The purpose of the proposed ordinance is to establish a formal review process for new non-residential

[1:54:12] and multifamily development to ensure that new development conforms with all applicable

[1:54:16] code requirements.

[1:54:19] Proposed process will ensure conformance with requirements related to building setbacks, drainage

[1:54:25] and detention, driveways and access, fire protection, off-street parking, sidewalks, landscaping,

[1:54:33] screening, lighting, solid waste, et cetera.

[1:54:37] So without we are recommending approval of the ordinance

[1:54:40] as presented in the Planning and Zoning Commission on August 25th,

[1:54:43] also recommended approval 7 to 0.

[1:54:46] Happy to answer any questions.

[1:54:47] Thank you.

[1:54:48] One question, the off-street part, the next sample of that.

[1:54:53] So the CHAPTER 31, the zoning ordinance,

[1:54:56] has requirements for off-street parking

[1:54:57] that are at the parking ratio typically

[1:55:01] So, depending on your use, you have a different parking ratio. So, for any proposed use, whether it's retail, there's a particular parking ratio. So, in that site plan review process, we're checking to make sure that the adequate number of all street parking spaces is provided based on the size and nature of these.

[1:55:18] Okay. All right. Thank you.

[1:55:22] There are no questions for you.

[1:55:24] All right, citizen comments.

[1:55:28] Mr. Mark Rampan.

[1:55:33] Good afternoon.

[1:55:34] So you have three minutes.

[1:55:39] Good afternoon.

[1:55:40] Mayor and council.

[1:55:41] My name is Mark Grantem.

[1:55:42] I'm with AG fuels.

[1:55:44] And we're here to recommend that the council

[1:55:47] set aside the recommendation of the aviation.

[1:55:50] and vote no on adapting to AFU contract.

[1:55:59] As we went through, in the bid that's published,

[1:56:03] AFU had published a price of $2.32 per gallon for fuel,

[1:56:09] and then said they made a mistake and picked the wrong week.

[1:56:13] But they never provided a correction of what week they referenced.

[1:56:16] Looking back over the past year, I don't find this price anywhere.

[1:56:22] So, this is not something that the airport board would know, but this kind of raises questions

[1:56:30] about the whole bid.

[1:56:31] And so we're recommending that kind of vote no and put it out to read it.

[1:56:36] All right.

[1:56:37] Thank you.

[1:56:38] Mr. Pro, yes, sir.

[1:56:40] Thank you.

[1:56:41] Can someone explain to the Council and also to the public,

[1:56:48] or the statement that was made about,

[1:56:51] I guess my question would be, why is the amount of the few important?

[1:56:57] And why do it has to be, or somebody can see it,

[1:57:03] per worse, he was saying it, would you go through that, please?

[1:57:08] Yes, Madam Mayor.

[1:57:09] So on the Biproposal, it was directed that all three are all individuals who are proposing a bit for the city of clean.

[1:57:19] Pulled fuel from the same day from the same plant from the same pump, per se, in layman's terms.

[1:57:24] All three RP, that we received,

[1:57:30] AFU, Titan, and AEG actually pulled from the same platform.

[1:57:35] They all had exactly the same thing.

[1:57:37] When the board was reviewing the numbers,

[1:57:40] we noticed an irregularity on the pricing that AFU had.

[1:57:45] We verified that the plot was the same plan as AEG and Titan field,

[1:57:49] so we noticed that it was just an irregularity.

[1:57:51] The executive director then directed us to call out fuel to confirm that price that they had put on there.

[1:57:58] They realized that that was in irregularity. They misprinted that.

[1:58:02] They did not pull fuel from a different day at different times, it was the same as the other two vendors.

[1:58:07] So we deemed it as an irregularity and then we moved forward with their process.

[1:58:12] So if that would have happened to any other company, any other time, would that be the process you would follow?

[1:58:19] Yes, ma'am. We would do the exact same thing. So if AGs looked off, when we noticed it was the same platinum and everything else, we would have called AG and asked them for clarity as well.

[1:58:30] Okay. Any questions from council?

[1:58:34] All right. Thank you, sir.

[1:58:37] Yes, ma'am.

[1:58:37] Mr. Kagel.

[1:58:38] Did you have a thank you?

[1:58:39] Okay. Thank you.

[1:58:40] Next person.

[1:58:43] Sean Price.

[1:58:47] You could have been there. You had three minutes.

[1:58:49] We're

[1:59:06] not on the public hearing, right?

[1:59:11] So under RS25154, I'm just wondering what the annual salary will be assessed to our tax base,

[1:59:22] right?

[1:59:22] Because this position is going to add to our tax base, right?

[1:59:27] And will it be taken away from Mr. Cagels annual salary?

[1:59:31] Because then he's doing less work, right?

[1:59:33] So if we're getting more people to do disperse the work out amongst more people, then I think

[1:59:40] someone that's not having to do as much work as they were getting paid for, they can get

[1:59:44] a reduction in pay.

[1:59:48] Under DS-25, 0.45,

[1:59:53] will the individuals here be, will their focus be the lower attacks?

[2:00:00] We're reduced the $285 million of debt the city has acquired or occurred. Unless it was actually increased. I think that we got up to $315 million in debt now.

[2:00:14] Or will be going up there. And in the 25, 146, I'm just questioning, we're spending $76,000 on eight movies.

[2:00:25] just wondering why we're spending money on movies.

[2:00:30] And then knowing that for $44,000 for Caribbean affairs,

[2:00:37] festival, I don't know why we're total of $269,511.

[2:00:45] And I can't see where we're actually, I mean, there's a couple of things in there that

[2:00:50] or benefit overall to the city, but I don't really see it, especially with $76 or $76,000

[2:00:59] in to produce eight movies that are $20,000 a movie. We're paying $20,000 a movie. For

[2:01:09] what?

[2:01:12] People don't use Netflix. I don't think.

[2:01:18] And then RS 147,

[2:01:23] to nominate

[2:01:24] Mr. Kimball, I think that's a wrong idea for any position on any board for the city government at all.

[2:01:35] That's my opinion. I'm not here to air the dirty laundry about the man, but I think it's a no for me and if you I would revoke his nomination if it were my decision to do so. Thank you for your time.

[2:01:48] And this is a brown, you have three minutes,

[2:01:54] so I count someone going to love it.

[2:02:00] Just for the gentleman that was just speaking, it was the community theater, not screen

[2:02:07] theater, but the community theater, but the arts commission, I believe is what is referred

[2:02:10] to.

[2:02:27] Speaking of the arts commission, we would have more money for that.

[2:02:30] If the city were to support activities that actually brings tourism into the area, instead

[2:02:36] making it difficult for people to get approved to have their events. It has become very well-known

[2:02:43] that it is difficult to work with the City of Queen to get a permit to have an event that we

[2:02:47] are drawing people in. Doing that would also allow us to have hot funds for K-Truple C

[2:02:54] upkeep at the same time. The council should consider adding an additional budget to the arts commission

[2:03:00] in order to advertise for these events.

[2:03:02] Since we have to spend money from hot funds to advertise,

[2:03:07] let's put it into advertising the stuff going on in the city.

[2:03:10] I know that properly planned and with cooperation,

[2:03:14] we can bring a lot of attention to the museum.

[2:03:16] I've done it without having to have

[2:03:19] any money from the city go directly to the museum for marketing.

[2:03:23] Let's talk about boards and commission appointments.

[2:03:26] The mayor doesn't want anyone who's served as harm

[2:03:28] to continue, and it's concerned about making sure no one who has served before is allowed

[2:03:33] back on to a board or a different board.

[2:03:36] But she's okay with recalled former council member, Mr. Michael Boyd, and other friends being

[2:03:42] re-appointed or appointed as other boards.

[2:03:45] Meanwhile, there's no concern for how board members speak in public forums, and her interesting

[2:03:49] things, they say, that celebrate murders.

[2:03:55] I'm also confused on how no one was prepared for this.

[2:03:59] Everyone has known about this for at least a week.

[2:04:03] As far as reopening selected apps, the bear's discretion and direction,

[2:04:07] all board apps should be kept continuously open.

[2:04:10] The city regularly has turnover and boards and commissions,

[2:04:13] and your application also appears to only be available in an online version now,

[2:04:17] which disenfranchise and eliminates anyone who doesn't have the ability to use a computer.

[2:04:23] You already picked based on who you like or don't like, don't hear for more, listen to most

[2:04:27] your boards already, and ignore the public.

[2:04:29] So why disenfranchise the citizens more by limiting their ability to apply for boards?

[2:04:35] Just because a lot of cities have a set of them, just because a lot of cities have a

[2:04:39] second-ness, a city manager when they hit 100,000 population, doesn't mean that we weren't

[2:04:45] one.

[2:04:45] Let's look at the number of employees by city.

[2:04:48] Temple has 1,500 Waco, 2,000 Colleen by 1,366-ish.

[2:04:55] Emerllo almost 3,000, Adelaide, 1,166, grandpa hair.

[2:05:00] In January 1691, Lubbock and everybody else is well over 2,500. We are well below our pure cities. These points are nothing negative about Mr.

[2:05:10] Wennel, so I'm sure we'll do a great job. Now, and also be ready to move up when Mr. Hegel leaves. And finally, I've heard people saying we shouldn't hire more fire police employees. We are simply asking for better fiscal decisions and spending $308,000 a year for a second assistance city manager.

[2:05:29] So it's not it

[2:05:37] for the public I did not make any recommendations for any boards and commissions and I also stated before the council made those decision that I would be neutral

[2:05:51] The mayor does not have the final say the council all agree that they wanted to open it back up in at that time the names that were in there

[2:06:04] They did some people qualify and others did not.

[2:06:08] So regardless of who was appointed tonight,

[2:06:11] I did not appoint anyone and the council majority council decided

[2:06:17] on each board member.

[2:06:19] A couple years ago, the council agreed that if you are

[2:06:23] already served on certain committees in your time or so,

[2:06:27] you would not be reserving in that position.

[2:06:29] I didn't make that decision.

[2:06:31] The council did.

[2:06:32] Citizen Comment is closed Madam Secretary, Consent Agenda.

[2:06:39] Council Member, please, I apologize.

[2:06:43] Council Member Kendrick, I'm quick with the draw that you see that, yeah, okay.

[2:06:49] I did want to say something, and I remember having this conversation when we was talking about

[2:06:55] the hot text and the museum, and I remember specifically a citizen saying we should not be

[2:07:04] using the hot text to advertise the museum, but I just heard today we should be using

[2:07:11] the hot text, which is what it is intended for to advertise.

[2:07:19] So am I not correct with that?

[2:07:20] So you have a great memory.

[2:07:24] Any more comments, sir?

[2:07:27] That's okay.

[2:07:28] That's a little long day.

[2:07:29] Madam Secretary, consent agenda.

[2:07:36] MN-25-02-3.

[2:07:38] RS-25-145.

[2:07:41] RS-25-146.

[2:07:44] RS-25-147.

[2:07:46] RS-25-148.

[2:07:49] RS-25-149.

[2:08:00] RS-25150 RS-25151 RS-25152 RS-25153 RS-25154 OR-250012 and OR-250013.

[2:08:21] Thank you, Councilmember Solomon.

[2:08:26] Thank you, Madam Mayor.

[2:08:26] I'm moved.

[2:08:27] We'll put the Senate.

[2:08:29] Councilmember, I'm a rest.

[2:08:31] Mayor, I'm second that motion.

[2:08:33] Any comments?

[2:08:35] All in favor.

[2:08:35] Yes, all opposed?

[2:08:43] Yes, sir.

[2:08:43] I have you.

[2:08:44] Thank you.

[2:08:45] Mayor, Proto.

[2:08:50] Motion carries six to zero.

[2:08:56] Council.

[2:08:59] Mrs. Meshure has gone through

[2:09:01] PH-25.

[2:09:03] That's zero fivefold.

[2:09:04] Would you like for her to go back to her?

[2:09:05] As

[2:09:09] we move on, I would need to miss tangling, but Madam Secretary, you have to read the caption.

[2:09:19] Yes, thank you.

[2:09:20] No problem.

[2:09:21] PH-25054, hold a public hearing and consider an ordinance,

[2:09:25] amending the fiscal year 2025 annual budget of the City of Colleen

[2:09:29] to increase revenue and expensive counts in multiple funds.

[2:09:32] The caption of the ordinance reads an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Colleen, Texas,

[2:09:37] Amending the FY 2025 annual budget of the City of Colleen to increase revenue and expense in account

[2:09:43] expense accounts in multiple funds, repealing all ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict with this ordinance, providing a savings clause and establishing an effective date.

[2:09:58] Thank you.

[2:09:59] until

[2:10:06] It would

[2:10:25] be nice if you actively listened to us because then you would know that I said before and today that we should not be giving our marketing money to affordhood. So, and because we do listen to answer the mayor's question, you are listened to inter-corded.

[2:10:44] Station five is the other five fire requests that you were thinking about.

[2:10:49] It is not on this one because that was part of the CO bonds that wasn't budgeted in FY25.

[2:10:57] And so that wouldn't be on this presentation.

[2:10:59] This is only for a step from FY25 money.

[2:11:04] Do we really, do we need to allocate some more of this money over to Gilmer in order to get Gilmer finish?

[2:11:11] Gilmour has been sitting torn apart a lot longer than water crusts and bunnies trail.

[2:11:17] And yet, I've heard people in the council talk about the other two roads and not Gilmour Street.

[2:11:24] The only time I've heard anyone talk about Gilmour Street lately was when the news came in talking about a business potentially having to close

[2:11:31] because no one could access the business and the way the signage was on that road.

[2:11:35] If we're going to be allocating money from your rent, if there is an issue,

[2:11:39] We have funding for Gilmer, I think that the public and the council deserve to know that, and they deserve to be discussing that before we even worry about the other two roads, because yes, all of those streets are important, but we started Gilmer first. Let's get that finished. Gilmer has been a 15 year problem, where it has been basically undrivable, but you know that's Norse Colleen, and most of you don't care about Norse Colleen.

[2:12:07] that's the impression that's given. Waterlines that I may be mistaken or misunderstanding

[2:12:14] with the way the presentation came across and the answer that was given with water

[2:12:19] crest as far as the money that was reallocated and again that takes active

[2:12:25] listening to understand that far. But with the issues with the waterlines I was

[2:12:30] hoping that you're not saying that the waterline costs would come out of the

[2:12:36] I believe that actually that was supposed to mean that we were going to have to do some redesign

[2:12:43] for it in an engineer it differently because of the water lines, but please correct me if I'm

[2:12:48] wrong because I would hate to think that we're using sweet maintenance to be money to move water lines.

[2:12:55] And then I see all of these increases that we're going to be putting into 195 and feather line

[2:13:00] in the Premier Basin, again, all in South Cooleyen,

[2:13:04] all beneficial to the Shapp Rail, East Cremir,

[2:13:06] all the way down to the Cremir area,

[2:13:09] but not so much on North Cooleyen.

[2:13:11] The East, I'm sorry, yeah, the Cremir Basin,

[2:13:14] water, sewer line that we're talking about,

[2:13:16] that was budgeted in 23 and completed in 24.

[2:13:19] Why are we putting more money

[2:13:20] that into that nail, Mr. Cagle?

[2:13:23] Why are we putting money into that in 26

[2:13:25] if it was finished in 24?

[2:13:27] I think that's important.

[2:13:28] Now the time is up.

[2:13:31] Mr. Sean Price, you have three minutes.

[2:13:53] We're at 54, right?

[2:13:56] P. H. 50 more?

[2:14:02] Yeah, it's down here.

[2:14:16] Was any thought given to reduce our city debt?

[2:14:24] Do you know our actual debt overall, Madam Mayor?

[2:14:32] I take your silence as a sign of disrespect.

[2:14:38] And, you know, barely common for you.

[2:14:45] I'm just looking at it, if we got additional funds to move around and flop from one account to another to another account and that our debt service is going from 17 million to 21 million.

[2:15:00] All our debt keeps increasing, increasing, increasing, right? That means you got to take more money from the rest of us.

[2:15:14] This all minority city council has taken a taxes from all of us out here in the public. It's your ideas.

[2:15:25] So, way that you're standing the money, where you're coming up with and with your voting on.

[2:15:28] Right?

[2:15:33] You look at me and you go, he's worthless, even look at

[2:15:39] it. I get it. I'm well hated by this city council and I understand that.

[2:15:44] I ask a simple question and I get no answers 90% of the time. Some of you I have gotten some answers from on the city council, but the majority of you, especially the mayor, right?

[2:15:59] All I get is animus and hey, and all I'm looking for is a simple answer.

[2:16:08] So I'm just wondering where you put in the money.

[2:16:10] And if we're just flopping around to pay for more stuff, why not pay for our debt and get that off?

[2:16:15] Maybe we can take some interest and buy new things.

[2:16:21] Thank you.

[2:16:22] You're welcome.

[2:16:24] Public kindness closed.

[2:16:29] Thank you, ma'am, to our constituents and other constituents who might be in the audience and

[2:16:33] or listening, I just want to make sure that the record is clear that my race and or

[2:16:37] ethnicity have zero to do with the way in which I vote, also that my integrity is there

[2:16:43] by being questioned by that constituent.

[2:16:47] Out of respect, Madam Mary, you can clarify the process if you sow it because we do have new

[2:16:51] people here.

[2:16:52] We also do have new people that are also online that are watching, but typically it's out of respect that we do not go back and forth with our constituents

[2:16:59] That we wait until the hearings or the sessions are closed

[2:17:03] So that way if anybody else has questions that may be similar, we can address them is that not correct. Yes, ma'am

[2:17:09] But I think tonight is just unpack on me and I don't I don't do anything. I am just here

[2:17:16] But that is the process.

[2:17:19] A lot of respect for you.

[2:17:20] I guess we can't

[2:17:24] count.

[2:17:24] Councilor Walming call.

[2:17:27] I wish the person who had made the comment,

[2:17:29] the constituent that was here,

[2:17:32] and made such a comment would have stayed.

[2:17:35] When we're honest just and fair in the line,

[2:17:38] work that we do,

[2:17:39] and that is nothing but the all minority.

[2:17:42] Council has done.

[2:17:43] We have been just.

[2:17:45] We have been fair.

[2:17:46] We have done the things that we had to do.

[2:17:51] Sometimes things don't work the way that some folks may think.

[2:17:55] But we have been fair, honest, and just.

[2:18:02] We listen, we take your comments.

[2:18:04] You can email me all day long.

[2:18:06] I'm sure you can email.

[2:18:08] Our mayor has stood up for what was right.

[2:18:11] And for this city.

[2:18:12] Changes have a curve remember we were even a little upset for both the change or things that change

[2:18:19] We can't stop everything

[2:18:21] But again

[2:18:22] To be fair to be honest to be just

[2:18:27] Maybe your questions are not answered in the way and which you think they should be answered and

[2:18:33] Maybe that is so and I'm not talking I cannot talk to the audience. However to be honest

[2:18:39] Council Member Cobb.

[2:18:41] Minister Brian, no ma'am, please.

[2:18:44] When you are up here, not a person,

[2:18:45] disrespect to you, yell out scream or enter

[2:18:49] ruptage you.

[2:18:51] You won't respect, please show respect,

[2:18:53] because this council is not going to do

[2:18:55] it to you.

[2:18:56] Please respect Councilwoman Cobb.

[2:18:58] She's been recognized and she has

[2:19:00] the floor.

[2:19:01] Councilwoman Cobb.

[2:19:04] I...

[2:19:06] First morning, and I know you want to be put

[2:19:08] But you got you played that game with somebody else council on my call. I came to apologize for that ruin that's from her

[2:19:16] We have worked hard to meet the needs of this city

[2:19:20] Maybe it's not met in the need or in the way in which you may think

[2:19:25] But once again, I must say

[2:19:28] to be just

[2:19:30] We happen

[2:19:31] We have the numbers to everything that we've asked and what was spent

[2:19:35] Maybe it's not the way that some of us would like to spend it, but it's there.

[2:19:42] I believe as the minority council, as we're known as, I've done a great job.

[2:19:49] I think this city has benefited, has benefited from not only the leadership of our mayor,

[2:19:55] but from the leadership of these council members.

[2:19:57] When I walk out or when I receive a call...

[2:20:00] From constituents, I try my best to ensure that I follow through. I may never say a word to anyone, but I guarantee they

[2:20:12] me. I guarantee the job has been done, not for just myself, but for any council member.

[2:20:22] Well, I've got a close here.

[2:20:29] Council member, can I?

[2:20:32] All right. I've been on this council since about a sense of me. And I've seen a lot of

[2:20:42] disrespect and it's really, it's time for it to stop. We supposed to be working as a

[2:20:53] city and working together as one team, but when you have those, I don't want to use the

[2:21:03] But when you have runaways that don't want to comply when their toe, hey, the floor is not yours yet.

[2:21:14] You had your time, nobody disrespected you.

[2:21:18] To me, I, I, I, I, I little by, a, a, a, when I was in the military.

[2:21:26] You know, I'm learning and confidence is my watchwork.

[2:21:31] I'm learning this job as I go, like anybody that sits in this seat.

[2:21:37] I do not look at anything on a race-face.

[2:21:42] I was not raised that way, and I spent many years in the military doing this, leading

[2:21:53] soldiers into combat, losing soldiers into combat, and for people to come in here,

[2:22:00] a soldier that just left, he's not a soldier.

[2:22:05] It's probably worked as an RNR,

[2:22:07] those are the people who we don't put in charge of things.

[2:22:11] And I'm saying what's on my heart, right now.

[2:22:14] It has to stop.

[2:22:15] Point of order, please be quiet, Miss Brown.

[2:22:23] This really has to stop.

[2:22:25] It has to stop.

[2:22:27] In no government will decisions be made

[2:22:31] that's going to please everybody.

[2:22:33] It's not going to happen because for one we don't live in a perfect world, but what we try

[2:22:39] to do up here is do our best, and I will say,

[2:22:47] since there is a little bit of disrespect

[2:22:50] still as I'm talking, you had to opportunity to serve.

[2:22:56] They didn't vote you back.

[2:22:58] Point, board. Council, Council, I'm counting to extend back. Melissa Brown. Melissa Brown.

[2:23:08] Melissa Brown. Stop. You don't have the floor. Okay. I'll end right there.

[2:23:15] Council. Council.

[2:23:22] I can't tell you what to do,

[2:23:27] but that is what she wants.

[2:23:31] So please, I can't, you have one more time.

[2:23:36] I do not want to put you out, but you want to be put out to get on the front page to be

[2:23:42] seen.

[2:23:42] Please grow up and respect people that have, you out of order.

[2:23:49] And I'm not going to argue if you get all this child play, please, we're going to take a break five minutes break.

[2:24:36] And with that, it's been closed. I just need public care and ensure it's closed. Can I get a motion, Council Member Solomon, that's you.

[2:24:45] Okay, we have a motion to approve pH-25-054. Can I get a second, Council Member Cobb?

[2:24:53] I sat in all of them for a year, saw all the polls know it's council member Adams bad.

[2:25:00] Okay, you four, good, okay.

[2:25:09] Council.

[2:25:16] All in favor, yes, I'll post. Motion carries 6 to 0.

[2:25:22] Council.

[2:25:25] Mrs. Meshow went through pH-25, the 0.5 Madame Secretary, will you please read the caption.

[2:25:35] PH-25, 055, hold a public hearing, and consider an ordinance submitted by Charles Emerson on behalf of Terry Blake Bearden.

[2:25:44] Case number Z-2526 to resume approximately 1.26 acres out of a 2.15 acre tract.

[2:25:51] In the T-Robinette Survey, abstract number 686, locally addressed as 3309 old farm to market 440.

[2:25:59] Colleen Texas from R1 single-family residential district to B5 business district.

[2:26:05] The caption of the ordinance reads, an ordinance amending the city of Colleen zoning

[2:26:08] ordinance by changing the zoning of approximately 1.26 acres out of a 2.15 acre tract

[2:26:14] in the T-Robinette Survey, abstract number 686, from an R1 single-family residential district

[2:26:21] to B5 business district, providing savings clause, providing for the repeal of conflicting

[2:26:27] provisions providing for an effective date.

[2:26:29] Thank you.

[2:26:31] Council, as I stated, Mrs. Meshare has gone through the slides, which you like,

[2:26:35] be hard to go back through.

[2:26:38] All right.

[2:26:40] Public hearing.

[2:26:41] Open Melissa Brown, you have three minutes.

[2:26:52] After three minutes, I'm going to speak from my heart for three minutes.

[2:26:56] Because that's what we're allowed to do now.

[2:26:59] This is what the mayor may not be able to tell you all what to say.

[2:27:02] She can't tell you if you're on the agenda or off agenda.

[2:27:04] Apparently we're just allowed to talk about whatever it's name.

[2:27:07] So let's address a couple things.

[2:27:10] You may now have cut me off while I was standing here, except for the mayor does.

[2:27:13] Was her gavel, right?

[2:27:15] Please keep back on that.

[2:27:17] That's my phone.

[2:27:18] That's my age.

[2:27:19] That's 25, that's 0, 5, 5.

[2:27:22] That was both disrespectful and uninterrupted.

[2:27:25] So I can't say that you all don't do that.

[2:27:28] What I want are my questions.

[2:27:29] And so I didn't want to happen when my questions were not answered because I was disrespected.

[2:27:34] because someone before me came up and said something really shitty.

[2:27:38] And y'all concentrated on that over what the real issues were.

[2:27:43] On this, I'm gonna tell you, doesn't matter what I actually say,

[2:27:47] how I feel about this.

[2:27:49] I don't feel like it does.

[2:27:52] I feel like I can come up here and tell you that this is the best idea in the world.

[2:27:56] And you're not going to care because you don't care what I had to say.

[2:27:59] You have a predetermined idea of what you think of me.

[2:28:02] and say, you're not caring what I say about this.

[2:28:05] I can come up here and say, you every reason why I think that this is a bad idea.

[2:28:10] I get asked you 10 questions about it that are valid, that are concerning to the community.

[2:28:15] And I do not believe a single one of them will get answered because I asked to some very valid questions.

[2:28:21] Not a single one was answered.

[2:28:24] And said, I got blamed for something someone else said because I didn't want to be disrespected.

[2:28:31] Go ahead and ask her. Okay, thank you. This is my time. I have to work. Please stay on the agenda, please.

[2:28:39] I have 24 deaths. And I'm talking about how I feel about this particular case.

[2:28:46] Madam Lady of the Attorney, is she on the agenda?

[2:28:49] I have 24 deaths, 25 deaths, zero, five, five.

[2:28:55] You're getting my time.

[2:28:57] Mayor, the legal issue is that she does, I mean, you can keep her on agenda, but it's a fact.

[2:29:01] questions whether you think she's on the gender or not.

[2:29:05] She's up to me.

[2:29:07] Yes.

[2:29:07] Thank you.

[2:29:08] Please stay on the gender.

[2:29:09] Oh, Ms. neutrality is no longer neutral.

[2:29:12] And she now uses eight of 20 seconds of my time

[2:29:15] to ask the attorney a question that you were going to make.

[2:29:17] You were just hoping for the answer for any way.

[2:29:21] But you let all the council members

[2:29:22] want to speak a long part three minutes

[2:29:24] speaking from the heart about something

[2:29:26] I had nothing to do with an agenda item whatsoever

[2:29:29] about how they made their decisions.

[2:29:32] I can come up here and tell you,

[2:29:34] you gave me the floor,

[2:29:35] which means it's my time.

[2:29:36] I'm not interrupting,

[2:29:37] and I'm not disrespecting.

[2:29:39] You've disrespecting me three times now,

[2:29:41] during my time that you gave me the floor floor.

[2:29:46] You laugh, you've set up your laughing and giggling.

[2:29:48] You've kicked me out for laughing before.

[2:29:51] Please don't laugh at me.

[2:29:52] I'm just...

[2:29:53] Oh, your time is up.

[2:29:55] The next person is Mr. Charles

[2:29:58] Um

[2:30:00] If I missed pronounce it, your name when you get up at priests, announce it. Thank you, sir. You have three minutes.

[2:30:34] councilmember Maveres.

[2:30:38] We are moved to approve pH 25-055 as presented.

[2:30:42] Councilmember Kendrick.

[2:30:47] Any questions in any time from council?

[2:30:50] All in favor, yes.

[2:30:51] All opposed?

[2:30:52] I have you.

[2:30:53] Thank you.

[2:31:07] Motion carries.

[2:31:08] 60.

[2:31:11] Council.

[2:31:12] We're now moving the pH-25-05-06.

[2:31:17] Madam City Attorney.

[2:31:19] I may have a secretary.

[2:31:23] Thank you.

[2:31:23] P.H. 25056, hold a public hearing and consider an ordinance

[2:31:28] amending the city of Colleen Thurofare plan.

[2:31:30] The caption of the ordinance reads an ordinance amending the comprehensive plan

[2:31:34] to update the Thurofare plan.

[2:31:36] Providing a severability clause, providing a savings clause, providing for the

[2:31:40] repeal of conflicting provisions, providing for publication and an effective date.

[2:31:46] Thank you so much.

[2:31:48] Council, Mrs. Meshcher, has gone to the slides.

[2:31:51] Would you like part of a little bit through up again?

[2:31:53] All right, public care and this open, Melissa Brown, you have three minutes.

[2:32:10] We feel I've ever actually paid attention to what I've said before, and you would know

[2:32:15] that I'm completely against doing any thorough fair plan changes with a single public hearing,

[2:32:23] especially when that is so quietly announced. The thorough fair plan is part of our

[2:32:32] That was put together with an immense amount of public support, public contribution, public discussion, and public meetings.

[2:32:44] To change it with a single public hearing that happens just barely outside of business hours.

[2:32:52] That started during the business day. People don't know when they'll be able to come in and speak on.

[2:33:02] He helped us come up with the 2040 comprehensive land and to every citizen and staff member and to every single stakeholder who took all of their time and energy to put into it and to give their feedback and to work together as one unified community to come up with a plan not five or six or seven people making a decision about it not one persons saying this is what I think should happen

[2:33:31] but it's up to y'all to vote.

[2:33:34] No, it was the community who did this,

[2:33:36] and there should be a lot more input

[2:33:38] before we changed thoroughfare plans

[2:33:40] because they are still a change to our comprehensive plan.

[2:33:45] With that being said,

[2:33:46] I know that typically a lot of what I say,

[2:33:49] goes kind of in one year and out the other.

[2:33:52] I also know that there's not a whole lot of consideration

[2:33:55] about what we get said at this podium before decisions are made.

[2:33:59] But because there's not time for that, you hear it three minutes worth of talking and then you have to make an immediate decision.

[2:34:08] You don't have time to consider it like you did before. You don't even get a break in between the work session and the meeting.

[2:34:16] If you're going to do it, though, this is the way to change the thoroughfare plan, which is narrowing roads, because our 2040 plan also does call for road dieting.

[2:34:25] on like some of the other plans that we've got in place to take two or three laying

[2:34:31] roads that make them four or five laying roads plus bicycle laying plus

[2:34:35] sidewalks and everything. Taking it from a collector to a residential collector

[2:34:39] narrows it. It means less that we're going to have to maintain in the long run. I

[2:34:45] just think that there needs to be a lot more community interaction before anything

[2:34:50] associated with that flange of change.

[2:34:55] Put your hair in this clothes.

[2:34:59] Can I get a motion?

[2:35:00] to approve or disapprove pH-258056, Councilmembers.

[2:35:08] Mayor, I moved to approve pH-25056 as presented.

[2:35:12] Councilmembers, all in favour? Yes, all opposed? No, thank you, Mayor Proto.

[2:35:40] Motion care is

[2:35:44] the next item is pH-25-057, Madam Secretary, please read the caption.

[2:35:59] pH-2557, Holdup Public Hearing and Consider an Ordnance

[2:36:03] Amending Colleen Code of Ordnances, Chapter 31, Zoning, Establishing

[2:36:07] Sight Development Permit Process, the caption of the Ordnance

[2:36:10] reads an Ordnance Amending Chapter 31 of the Code of Ordnances

[2:36:13] of the City of Colleen, providing for sight development

[2:36:16] permit regulations, providing further repeal of conflicting provisions, providing

[2:36:20] for a severability clause, providing for a savings clause, providing for publication

[2:36:24] and an effective date.

[2:36:27] Thank you.

[2:36:30] Council, as you know, is this measure as gone through the slides, which you like

[2:36:35] for her to go back to the slides?

[2:36:38] All right,

[2:36:41] public care is open.

[2:36:44] Melissa Brown,

[2:36:53] it's not just a words that the non-verbal communication that

[2:36:57] demonstrates this respect also. So three times now, council has shown that they don't care what I say.

[2:37:04] And care what questions I ask, you only want to respond if it's something that you feel you need to justify or defend yourself with.

[2:37:12] Because those are the only responses that have been given, those are the only questions that have been asked.

[2:37:17] So with that, I would draw because you all don't care.

[2:37:22] Public hearing calls, and I get a motion to approve pH-25-057.

[2:37:33] Councilmember Everest.

[2:37:36] Mayor, I'm moving to approve pH-25-057 as presented.

[2:37:40] Councilmember Kendrick.

[2:37:42] I seek it.

[2:37:43] All in favor, yes, all opposed? No.

[2:37:47] Thank you, Mayor Proto.

[2:37:55] Motion carries.

[2:37:56] 6 to 0.

[2:37:59] We have two discussion items.

[2:38:01] and the DS-25-044, Madam City Secretary, I can read them all you can.

[2:38:14] I can continue, Madam Mayor.

[2:38:16] Yes, Madam.

[2:38:17] Please.

[2:38:17] DS-25-044.

[2:38:19] Receive quarterly financial report.

[2:38:22] Thank you.

[2:38:23] Mrs. Tanglen.

[2:38:25] Thank you for coming back.

[2:38:26] Thank you for having me.

[2:38:28] Thank you, Mayor.

[2:38:28] Thank you.

[2:38:29] Cancel.

[2:38:31] Now we're looking at the third currently financial report.

[2:38:36] We like the budget calendars so much that we also created an accounting calendar for fiscal year 2025.

[2:38:44] That way, council has an idea.

[2:38:46] Whenever we come in percent, they call it report.

[2:38:48] They add it and stuff that pertains to that.

[2:38:52] We expect on the first report, I mean, the first meeting on March,

[2:38:58] to have the first color financial report and the color investment report.

[2:39:02] Then on March 19 or the second meeting of the council on March, we are expected to have the

[2:39:10] annual added results for the fiscal year.

[2:39:13] Then on May, the second meeting on May, we are bringing the independent added services.

[2:39:18] That's whenever you approve the added services for the fiscal year added.

[2:39:23] And then on June 2nd, we expect to all the first week, the first meeting on June, the second

[2:39:31] California financial report, with along with the current investment report, and the second

[2:39:37] meeting on September, the third California financial report to the current investment

[2:39:41] report.

[2:39:42] And you will see the fourth California financial report along with the investment report, the

[2:39:47] first week of December.

[2:39:49] So in all review, for this report, we have some starting indicators and we're going to review the major operating funds and a special revenue funds.

[2:40:00] For the staff and indicators to an hour, the 12 months annualised to an hour, as June 2025, for the total employees is 15.79%.

[2:40:12] For the public safety, police feel positions by June 2025 was 96% and for fire we were almost 100%.

[2:40:29] Now, we're going to talk about the major funds general fund.

[2:40:34] The key revenue sources for general fund.

[2:40:37] Now, this is the total report for the month of June.

[2:40:40] This is the total quarter, meaning a 75% is actually a good indicator.

[2:40:46] Less than 75% revenue may be a little bit worse than 75% is good.

[2:40:51] When it comes to expenses, it's all the way around.

[2:40:54] So for the total revenue general fund, we have 84% and that's

[2:40:59] as appropriate taxes, we collect that in the first quarter.

[2:41:08] For the expenses, we are a 69 percent with a next change

[2:41:13] of 14 of 14.7 and the fund balance ending of 49 for the

[2:41:20] zero fund.

[2:41:25] For water and sewer fund, for the total revenues for the budget,

[2:41:33] we are 71 percent.

[2:41:37] For the expenses, we are 65 percent.

[2:41:39] The next change to 170,000 with the fund balance ending up for $14 million.

[2:41:50] For the solid waste fund,

[2:41:55] the budget in the revenues are 76 percent, the expenses are 73 percent.

[2:42:01] The next change at negative $589,000 with the fund balance ending up $6.6 million.

[2:42:13] For the drainage utility fund, the total revenues we are 73.7 percent, and total expenses are 64 percent.

[2:42:22] The next change is 170-2,000 with the fund balance and is 1.9 million.

[2:42:33] For the aviation fund,

[2:42:36] the total revenues are 95% in the total expenses are 63%.

[2:42:42] The next change is 2.3 million and the fund balance ending is 3.8.

[2:42:55] For the golf course,

[2:42:58] the total revenues are 77%.

[2:43:01] The expenses are 81%.

[2:43:05] The next change is 61, then the finance end is at 288,000.

[2:43:14] The reason the expenses and the golf course are 81%

[2:43:18] is because they have some capital outlay.

[2:43:21] This one I mentioned that.

[2:43:25] For hotel occupancy tax fund,

[2:43:28] now we're going into the special revenue funds.

[2:43:31] The total revenue is 52% while the expenses are 53%.

[2:43:36] The next change is 16,000.

[2:43:38] with a fund balance and a 1.7 million.

[2:43:45] For the three maintenance fund,

[2:43:47] we are a 75.5% revenue, 63% or expenses,

[2:43:52] with a next chance of 1.1 million

[2:43:54] and the fund balance ending a 17.9 million.

[2:44:01] I will be happy to answer any questions

[2:44:02] you want to talk about on details on the report.

[2:44:06] No, ma'am, there is no questions, thank you.

[2:44:09] Well, but you got the best last, it's so easy to read.

[2:44:13] Thank you.

[2:44:14] A lot of work went into that.

[2:44:16] Thank you.

[2:44:17] Yes, Mr. David.

[2:44:18] Mayor, I just want to say thank you for mentioning that.

[2:44:20] Because they put a whole lot of work into changing the two reports that you saw it

[2:44:24] and not to make them more understandable.

[2:44:26] Wow.

[2:44:26] That's so.

[2:44:27] Thank you.

[2:44:27] But there's no question about it.

[2:44:29] Thank you.

[2:44:30] Great job.

[2:44:31] Great job.

[2:44:31] All right.

[2:44:32] Council this item.

[2:44:33] And then we go behind closed.

[2:44:35] She just hang on in there.

[2:44:37] Madam City Secretary.

[2:44:40] DS-25-045, discuss the procedure for nominations and appointments to the Board of Directors of the Taxipraisal District of Bell County.

[2:44:49] Yes, ma'am. Madam, see your attorney. You went through these slides before.

[2:44:56] I have. I want to. This is a preview item for two items that are going to be coming.

[2:45:01] So I do just want to quickly go through them. There's just a few so that you're aware and you know what's coming up.

[2:45:08] Yes, all right. So this item, like I said, is pretty item to those items regarding the tax appraisal district border directors.

[2:45:14] So a little bit of background. The City of Colleen was previously able to unilaterally point one member to the tax appraisal board.

[2:45:21] There were no elected members. Now under the new regulations tax appraisal board, we made up of the elected tax appraisal tax assessor collector.

[2:45:28] three members that are elected by voters and then five members appointed by

[2:45:33] taxing entity election with two or three of those directors being elected

[2:45:37] each year. So two are going to be elected this year for a term beginning

[2:45:41] January 1, 2026. So the process is that all taxing entities will nominate up to

[2:45:48] two candidates before October 15th of this year. The appraisal district will

[2:45:52] send out a ballot to taxing entities that includes all nominations and each

[2:45:56] the receives a certain percentage of the 2,000 votes based off the percentage of the total tax

[2:46:00] levies. So we'll have 218 of the 2,000 total votes. Once the city receives the ballot

[2:46:06] with all the nominations, the city will be required to adopt a resolution with its vote by the

[2:46:10] second meeting after receiving the ballot. So those next steps October 7th, so at your meeting

[2:46:16] October 7th, we'll have a resolution for you to nominate up to two candidates for the Bell County

[2:46:21] tax appraisal district of Bell County Board of Directors.

[2:46:24] So we'll need one to two names to nominate to the board.

[2:46:30] And then once we get that ballot November 18, 2025,

[2:46:33] the resolution that it'll come back to you to submit

[2:46:37] city's final votes.

[2:46:38] That's the two hundred and eighteen votes.

[2:46:41] And if you have any questions, I'm here.

[2:46:43] Thank you.

[2:46:44] Council, last year, we had a meeting will.

[2:46:48] And you can get enough votes to be appointed.

[2:46:52] It's not us, it's much higher, it's, it's, I will go on detail, but it will take too long

[2:46:58] to explain it.

[2:46:59] So if you have anybody that you want to put on there, we don't vote, we just put them

[2:47:05] on there and there and it's another process to vote, which, uh, any

[2:47:15] questions for the city

[2:47:17] attorney?

[2:47:18] All right.

[2:47:19] Yes, I do.

[2:47:20] Yes, sir.

[2:47:22] I want to ask, is it possible that we could consolidate or find out what the other entities

[2:47:32] are doing in the areas such as KISD and maybe join with them until we could have a more

[2:47:41] of a pool of votes?

[2:47:44] You can, it's not a consolidation, formal consolidation,

[2:47:48] but you can't have those conversations

[2:47:50] with the other entities to determine

[2:47:53] if you want to pool your votes together.

[2:47:56] So how would it work in proceeding with that?

[2:48:02] With jarring gauge, with some of the other entities,

[2:48:06] with the staffing gauge?

[2:48:07] Council can, or to South, if that's a directive, but if not, Council can talk to them too.

[2:48:15] But first we have to have a person that wants to do it, and then once you find out who that person is, if you bring somebody,

[2:48:23] maybe you can talk to one of the board members and extend what they support the individual,

[2:48:30] and the Council, we also can go and extend this individuals. That's one way.

[2:48:35] Well, the other way, which I think is should be us, but that's just my opinion,

[2:48:40] until direct, if can be from the council to tell self to do something that I think we can do.

[2:48:49] But they don't have to, but that's an option.

[2:48:53] What are some of the sides of the KISD, there are other entities, organizations?

[2:48:59] All of the taxing entities in Bell County, I do have a list of all of those

[2:49:07] if you'd like me to send an email out to that.

[2:49:12] I don't know.

[2:49:13] We want to answer your questions because you seem very interested and we will be more

[2:49:17] than happy.

[2:49:18] Is this a nomination?

[2:49:20] Council, Wama, call.

[2:49:21] Because it's coming back.

[2:49:23] Yes, ma'am.

[2:49:24] Please, please.

[2:49:25] I'm before we went into our executive session.

[2:49:28] I was hoping that you would allow me two minutes to say.

[2:49:31] No, ma'am.

[2:49:31] The reason I'm saying no, because that's not the agenda item.

[2:49:35] You would, you had your opportunity on A item,

[2:49:38] but just to say, yeah, it's very hard to clean it up.

[2:49:43] That's why it's best for us, just not.

[2:49:45] We don't react, yes, but yes, ma'am, I do understand.

[2:49:51] But ma'am, ma'am, you're off to your agenda.

[2:49:54] Council, I'm caught.
