And the member is not present tonight, so I will 25 01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:50,000 do the inspirational reading. It's a quote that I heard recently. I've been 26 01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:55,359 thinking about it non-stop the past few days. And it says, "What a privilege to 27 01:05:53,359 --> 01:06:00,079 be tired from the work that you once prayed for. What a privilege to feel 28 01:05:57,839 --> 01:06:05,039 overwhelmed from the opportunity you used to dream about. What a privilege to 29 01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:11,039 be challenged by the life you created on purpose. And what a privilege to outgrow 30 01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:15,039 things you used to settle for. Next, we will move on to the pledge. So, 31 01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:20,400 if you can please stand and join me in saying the pledge. 32 01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:25,760 » First to the US flag. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United 33 01:06:23,039 --> 01:06:31,599 States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under 34 01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:34,960 God, indivisible, liberty and justice for all. 35 01:06:32,319 --> 01:06:43,280 » And to the Texas flag, honor the Texas flag. I pledge allegiance to thee, 36 01:06:37,599 --> 01:06:48,240 Texas, one state under God, one indiv. Thank you everyone. Uh council, if you 37 01:06:45,119 --> 01:06:52,680 can please join me in the front, we have a presentation to give tonight. 38 01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:57,799 All right. 39 01:06:59,920 --> 01:07:07,599 So, we are celebrating tonight and uh if our city secretary can join us, Miss 40 01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:13,359 Tammy Bell, we are celebrating a 5-year work anniversary for our assistant city 41 01:07:10,799 --> 01:07:18,000 secretary. not to be mistaken with an assistant to the city secretary, but our 42 01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:23,039 assistant city secretary, and that is Miss Alyssa Deon. Uh what I'd like to do 43 01:07:21,119 --> 01:07:26,960 first is Tammy, have you say a few words, and you know, Alyssa, she along 44 01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:31,920 with Tammy, you know, they're the glue that holds us together. Alyssa uh 45 01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:35,920 supports all my crazy ideas and the letters that I like to send and we 46 01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:38,799 appreciate that, Alyssa. And you help make this city continue to move forward 47 01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:42,160 each and every day, and we appreciate you. So Tammy, we'll have you and 48 01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:45,039 Alyssa, come on up here. Let's give her a round of applause. 49 01:07:44,321 --> 01:07:50,720 [applause] >> Thank you. 50 01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:56,799 So why I want to say thank you. Um when Alyssa applied 5 years ago, 51 01:07:53,839 --> 01:08:01,680 I've been in management for over 30 34 years and done a lot of interviews. And 52 01:07:59,599 --> 01:08:06,960 Alyssa is the only one that I've ever called back for a second interview. and 53 01:08:04,559 --> 01:08:12,160 not for me to interview her, but because her interview was so good that I knew 54 01:08:09,599 --> 01:08:16,719 she could go to work anywhere. And so I wanted her to interview me and determine 55 01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:21,279 was this where she wanted to be and was I the one she wanted to work for because 56 01:08:19,359 --> 01:08:25,440 if not, there was no need for her to waste her time. Um because this happened 57 01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:29,920 to be the first place to call her back from all the applications she had out 58 01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:34,319 there. So 5 years later, thank you. Thank you for choosing me. Thank you for 59 01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:39,759 choosing the city. and thank you for making our department so awesome. Alyssa 60 01:08:36,480 --> 01:08:45,520 is the calm to my chaos and there's a lot of chaos that goes on with me every 61 01:08:42,239 --> 01:08:51,359 day. So, thank you. >> Congratulations, Alyssa. So, we have a 62 01:08:48,719 --> 01:08:55,920 lapel pin here for you to say thank you. And we also have a fiveyear in 63 01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:58,960 recognition of your service to the city of Manville. Now, like I always do, I'm 64 01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:03,359 going to have you say a few few words and talk about your five years here with 65 01:09:00,480 --> 01:09:08,480 the city. I want to thank you for having me. It's 66 01:09:06,239 --> 01:09:13,839 been awesome. It's been really neat to see this city growing and so quickly. Um 67 01:09:11,199 --> 01:09:18,159 I talked in our planning and vision visioning session that we had last week, 68 01:09:15,839 --> 01:09:22,159 just even driving down Highway 6 every day to work at the difference that has 69 01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:26,799 happened in just that short amount of time. So, it's really cool to be a part 70 01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:32,159 of that. And Tammy's an awesome boss. Everyone here is amazing to work for. 71 01:09:28,719 --> 01:09:36,880 Just a short personal story. Some of the council sitting here might not even know 72 01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:40,159 this. Uh I almost died a few years ago and I went through some really serious 73 01:09:38,480 --> 01:09:44,239 surgeries and everyone here stepped up for me. I was out for a couple months 74 01:09:41,759 --> 01:09:50,000 and employees donated their time to me. I mean we truly are a family here and 75 01:09:48,239 --> 01:09:56,800 I'm really grateful to wake up every day and be grateful to come to this job. So 76 01:09:53,600 --> 01:10:01,280 thanks for having me. And a little known fact about Alyssa, 77 01:09:59,199 --> 01:10:04,480 the city that Alyssa lives in, there's a coffee shop there that actually has a 78 01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:08,400 drink named after her because she frequents there so much. And so, you 79 01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:13,159 know, she's a local celebrity here for the city. So, let's join together for a 80 01:10:10,159 --> 01:10:13,159 photo. 81 01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:10,480 All right. Next, we have public comments. Tammy, I don't not I do not 82 01:11:08,480 --> 01:11:15,120 see any public comments tonight. Fantastic. We will now move on to the 83 01:11:12,719 --> 01:11:18,400 city manager update. Manager Dan, >> thank you, mayor and council. Um, 84 01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:24,080 tonight's a little bit different. U, maybe slightly unorthodox. Um, I need to 85 01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:29,440 use the city manager update for a quick little presentation from a group uh from 86 01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:33,120 Manville Soccer. I guess Ted, are you ready to go? Um, we were going to try 87 01:11:31,440 --> 01:11:39,280 and do this on on the during the workshop itself and we ran over and with 88 01:11:35,679 --> 01:11:43,840 our new uh state uh requirements on when we have to post our agendas. We weren't 89 01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:47,360 able to get it uh on the workshop, but I think this is this is going to still get 90 01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:51,040 us there. Right. Want to make sure I don't want to uh destroy any technology 91 01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:54,000 here, but can I >> uh I think Blake has it, right? 92 01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:59,920 » No. >> No. No. Okay. 93 01:11:55,440 --> 01:12:03,360 » Okay. Just try to get this in here. >> Yeah. 94 01:12:01,199 --> 01:12:06,400 » There we go. All right. Pretty cool logo, huh? 95 01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:14,480 » Y. >> Well, uh, city council, Mayor Dan, 96 01:12:11,679 --> 01:12:18,239 uh, city manager Dan. Great. can never forget you guys names the same. So, 97 01:12:16,480 --> 01:12:22,880 excellent. Thank you for having me. I appreciate it. And I'll try to make this 98 01:12:19,679 --> 01:12:26,719 as quick as possible because uh you if if it's allowable maybe a few questions, 99 01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:32,159 but if not, we can always come back later for a different session. 100 01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:36,480 So, my name is Ted Ted Brian Calavota. A lot of people call me Ted Brian. The 101 01:12:34,239 --> 01:12:42,560 last name's a little hard to pronounce. I think that uh when I ran for uh Alvin 102 01:12:40,239 --> 01:12:46,719 uh community college board seat, I probably would have won if I would have 103 01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:51,120 just gone by Ted Bryan, but uh it didn't quite work out. Um but it's great to be 104 01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:57,040 here. I appreciate the opportunity to give a presentation. So, who are we? 105 01:12:55,120 --> 01:13:01,080 We are see if I can get this on here. 106 01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:09,440 We started out in 2007 as Shadow Creek Soccer. And most of you are familiar 107 01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:13,760 with where Shadow Creek is. It's on the west side of Perilland, west side of 288 108 01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:19,280 going north. [snorts] Small little neighborhood kind of grew a little bit 109 01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:24,800 over time. We started with 24 kids. And over time it grew and grew and grew 110 01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:30,000 and now we're about uh 1,200 in our recreational league and we have a 111 01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:35,280 competitive league with about 550. Okay. 112 01:13:32,480 --> 01:13:40,480 Also, I was sitting down one day next to my wife while she was working computer 113 01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:41,840 and I said, "Well, the city said they're not going to build us any soccer 114 01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:43,840 fields." >> Hey, Ted, I'm going to interrupt you for 115 01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:46,560 a second. We're going to need you to stay in front of the microphone so that 116 01:13:45,199 --> 01:13:49,440 way we pick you up for those watching online. I know I know they want to hear 117 01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:52,560 your great presentation, so we're just helping them out. 118 01:13:50,239 --> 01:13:55,360 » So, this I she said I said, "The city's not going to build us any soccer fields 119 01:13:54,000 --> 01:14:01,760 because we really need them. We have so many people." And I said, I think I'm 120 01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:06,640 just going to build build a baseball league because the city decided to build 121 01:14:04,159 --> 01:14:09,120 a $10 million baseball park. And uh there was nobody who really wanted to 122 01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:12,320 use it. Dad's Club didn't want to use it. So they had their own fields 123 01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:17,199 already. So we I said, "Let's just start a league." So we started a league. We 124 01:14:13,679 --> 01:14:24,000 have about 500 600 people in that going three seasons a year. 125 01:14:19,920 --> 01:14:30,560 I also decided to start uh a swim team uh a flag football league and also a 126 01:14:26,239 --> 01:14:35,199 chess club and that also holds a uh summer camps. So kind of got involved 127 01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:40,080 with that all all while I was working downtown Houston for Saudi Ramco. Uh had 128 01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:47,199 a long career there for about 20 years and just recently took some early 129 01:14:41,760 --> 01:14:53,760 retirement. So um we also later in life mid 2015 16 started um a pro training 130 01:14:52,159 --> 01:14:58,719 program. It was a training program for three days a week for kids of the ages 131 01:14:56,080 --> 01:15:06,239 of 4 to 12 of all levels beginners to intermediate to advance. And we also um 132 01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:10,320 finally u merged with the not with the entity but the entity kind of 133 01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:13,920 disappeared. It's a long story, but the entity in Periland that was running 134 01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:20,480 soccer kind of disappeared and we we kind of uh took that step to be part of 135 01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:26,320 them. So, we're about family, father and son 136 01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:30,800 playing uh recreational soccer together, friends, 137 01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:34,640 having teams of, you know, mix of of different kids from all over the 138 01:15:32,239 --> 01:15:38,239 community. And we're also about competition. And with that, if it's 139 01:15:36,239 --> 01:15:42,159 possible, I'd love you. You want you want to Okay. I was going to have my uh 140 01:15:40,480 --> 01:15:48,640 our vice president Damian come up and talk. But uh so we did start in mid 2015 141 01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:52,400 16. We started a competitive league. We were basically focused on just 142 01:15:50,239 --> 01:15:56,239 recreational soccer, fun soccer for for the community and family. But there was 143 01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:59,520 a lot of there were a lot of players leaving to go to other clubs because 144 01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:05,440 they wanted a higher level competition. So we started that in 2015 and we have 145 01:16:02,480 --> 01:16:09,679 about 500 kids in that program now. um leadership and this is the vice 146 01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:16,239 president of uh of S Shadow Creek Soccer now, Damon Gardner, with his his uh 147 01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:20,960 recreational team there. And we were also going to have him talk about our 148 01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:25,040 our community relationship with uh with Alvin ISD that that is an Alvin ISD 149 01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:28,080 school field there that we were given permission by the school board to 150 01:16:26,239 --> 01:16:33,199 develop. Put a lot of money into that field and uh it's it served us really 151 01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:38,000 well for a long time. Celebration 152 01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:42,719 and teamwork. So, why are we here? By the way, I do 153 01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:48,080 want to make a quick point about this. Uh, we had the the privilege of having a 154 01:16:46,159 --> 01:16:52,400 a person in our neighborhood who won three major league soccer championships. 155 01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:56,320 He was the goalie for the Houston Dynamo. They won one championship in San 156 01:16:54,960 --> 01:17:00,880 Jose and then when they came here to Houston, they won two consecutive 157 01:16:58,239 --> 01:17:05,360 championships after that. He uh subsequently went off to Toronto and 158 01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:10,719 Colorado and the Dynamo recently hired him back to be the manager of the the 159 01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:15,920 the major league soccer organization, Houston Dynamo. And he moved back in our 160 01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:20,800 neighborhood, too, by the way. Okay. So, this is the Manville Sports 161 01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:27,040 Park that I believe Manville has recently looked at and decided that this 162 01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:31,199 is a great step forward and does look like a 163 01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:37,760 pretty uh pretty progressive and uh 164 01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:44,719 big step. So, what what is our proposal? We would like to kickstart the program 165 01:17:42,640 --> 01:17:49,280 and the sports park here. And how could we do that? 166 01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:54,719 Well, if you look at what the city proposal is, if you just are going to 167 01:17:51,920 --> 01:18:00,880 build the fields and the parking deck so you can park, 168 01:17:57,440 --> 01:18:05,520 you're looking at about an 18 to $30 million project. And that's a pretty big 169 01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:10,280 project. The big chunk of that is parking deck. 170 01:18:10,480 --> 01:18:18,880 So, our proposal would be to skip the parking deck and to build two synthetic 171 01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:24,000 soccer fields, two grass soccer fields, and we could complete this within 6 172 01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:28,400 months. Now, to be able to have a park to use it, you need a road. And also, in 173 01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:34,239 addition to the road, you need bathrooms, a restroom. So, if you had a 174 01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:39,120 road, restrooms, and a parking lot, you'd be able to have 175 01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:44,080 access to these fields. So what we are looking at providing in 176 01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:48,000 year one after this is completed would be a full-ervice recreational soccer 177 01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:54,080 league here for Manville called Manville soccer boys and girls ages 4 to 15 a 178 01:18:52,320 --> 01:19:00,560 training program three days a week for anybody to uh become a part of like a 179 01:18:57,120 --> 01:19:05,840 gym membership and also advanced teams with professional coaches. Our focus 180 01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:10,760 would be primarily on the full-ervice recreational program that is open to 181 01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:10,760 everyone. 182 01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:19,280 In addition, we have the ability to on these fields to do multi-purpose 183 01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:27,440 and that is NFL flag. We are an official NFL flag um franchise. 184 01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:31,120 Our league will be starting in about two weeks. 185 01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:35,040 And we actually do have some staff members from the Houston Texans who are 186 01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:39,040 in our league and will be coaching in about two weeks. So if you come by the 187 01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:44,320 games, uh you'll be able to see some of their staff there. 188 01:19:41,679 --> 01:19:50,000 So proposal for phase one, two synthetic soccer fields, two grass soccer fields, 189 01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:56,360 a road, a parking lot, and a restroom. Now the big question is who's going to 190 01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:56,360 pay for this? Right? 191 01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:04,800 This is where we envision these four fields being on this map here. The 192 01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:08,960 parking lot right there, about 270 spaces, a restroom. 193 01:20:07,440 --> 01:20:15,679 A little bit different than the parking deck, but uh it is something that could 194 01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:20,640 get the program going in a in a quick time. 195 01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:24,960 So manual visitors, Manville visitors, you're looking at about 200400 Manville 196 01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:31,320 residents in the recreational league, about 1,200 non-resident visitors for 197 01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:31,320 the advanced league every weekend 198 01:20:32,159 --> 01:20:40,840 for eight weeks in the fall, 8 weeks in the spring, about 6,000 non-residents 199 01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:40,840 for tournament weekends. 200 01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:47,760 And if you have a MLS youth tournament where you have people coming from all 201 01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:53,040 around the United States and Europe, you're looking about 6,000 non-residents 202 01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:56,880 that require hotels. Yeah, they're not all going to fit in 203 01:20:54,400 --> 01:21:00,239 Manville, I'm sure. But if you have a hotel here, they would definitely fill 204 01:20:58,080 --> 01:21:08,320 it up. We're looking at, you know, 10K for the 205 01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:12,000 hotel, $600 for the city in taxes. So, if you had four hotels, you might be 206 01:21:09,920 --> 01:21:17,040 able to bring in a little little bit of revenue. In addition, you're looking at 207 01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:21,360 uh restaurants and gas stations and all 208 01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:26,320 that kind of business. All right. So, there's our NFL lag flag 209 01:21:24,159 --> 01:21:30,400 league right there. And with the soccer, 210 01:21:28,719 --> 01:21:36,800 we have an idea for phase two, and that would be a baseball clover leaf. We 211 01:21:34,239 --> 01:21:40,960 found this format to work the best. If you go up to uh Shadow Creek Sports Park 212 01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:47,040 and you see the two artificial turf fields and also the the little league ba 213 01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:50,800 uh baseball cloverleaf, it's it's a great setup and it's uh it's good to 214 01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:55,280 have a focus like that for for each sport. 215 01:21:53,360 --> 01:22:00,719 And here's the photo of our coach pitch league. Kids between ages seven, eight, 216 01:21:58,159 --> 01:22:07,320 and nine with their parents uh helping to coach, helping to also pitch to the 217 01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:07,320 kids. 218 01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:17,280 All right, phase three, 2030. We are pretty excited about an indoor 219 01:22:13,199 --> 01:22:21,840 facility and uh we like to think big and we want to have something that is the 220 01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:25,040 biggest and best in all of Texas and it would be great if it could be right here 221 01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:30,800 in Manville. It's an indoor FIFA regulation soccer 222 01:22:27,760 --> 01:22:38,639 field that would be able to host practices and even official games. 223 01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:43,520 all the way for to adults. And this is an example of what the 224 01:22:40,719 --> 01:22:48,159 technology can do these days. You can pretty much have an indoor facility that 225 01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:53,520 can have uh you know can have the the sunlight come 226 01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:56,960 right through it. All right. So, what's the cost? This is 227 01:22:55,360 --> 01:23:02,719 the big question is how much is all this going to cost cost and who's going to 228 01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:08,480 pay for it? Well, the synthetic soccer fields is going to be about $2 million. 229 01:23:05,440 --> 01:23:13,440 The two grass soccer fields about 400k. The lights and irrigation will be 230 01:23:10,239 --> 01:23:19,120 included in that 400k and uh and the and the 2 million for the synthetic soccer 231 01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:27,679 fields. The restrooms about 300k. Parking 160,000 for 160 spaces, $100 a 232 01:23:24,239 --> 01:23:33,440 space. So, total project of about 2.86 million. 233 01:23:29,920 --> 01:23:36,560 And we have a source of funding. The city's a great source of funding, but 234 01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:41,199 we're also a source of funding. And we're are proposing today to be able to 235 01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:47,280 contribute a million dollar cash contribution to the city of Manville to 236 01:23:42,880 --> 01:23:52,320 build this park. So that leaves 1.86 million left and that would be a 237 01:23:49,679 --> 01:23:55,800 partnership between our organization and the city of Manville. 238 01:23:56,639 --> 01:24:03,120 And uh so I have a little little little table here you guys I can 239 01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:10,000 send this to you all personally if you'd like to look at it more later. Um just 240 01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:14,800 kind of breakdown of what the costs are. And that's pretty much our presentation. 241 01:24:12,560 --> 01:24:18,400 I can take questions now or I can come back at another time and and we can 242 01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:21,360 follow up with questions. >> Well Ted, thank you for this great 243 01:24:20,080 --> 01:24:24,960 overview. I think when you started talking about the Dynamo, our city 244 01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:28,159 attorney was getting very excited over there. We have a big should say football 245 01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:31,840 fan if we're using the correct terminology. Um because this is not a 246 01:24:30,159 --> 01:24:35,199 listed item on the agenda, we can't have a lot of back and forth discussion, but 247 01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:39,360 it would be great to have this as an agenda item heading into 2026 and we're 248 01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:42,239 excited to continue the conversation there. Thank you for the presentation. 249 01:24:40,719 --> 01:24:45,600 If you could please share that with our city manager and city secretary.

The team's been working 329 01:30:31,440 --> 01:30:38,639 hard with the BCS group, Aaliyah, uh, Ian, and everybody there. Uh, council, 330 01:30:36,800 --> 01:30:42,560 we're going to group all three of these together. And, and Dan, Ellie, please 331 01:30:40,960 --> 01:30:47,199 correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe where it stands right now, we got an 332 01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:52,560 updated PUD today, and it's looking like the items that are outstanding were 333 01:30:49,840 --> 01:30:56,800 addressed. um we may need to just you know verify that and check and just just 334 01:30:54,639 --> 01:31:03,520 to run it through. But also in addition to that the BCS group has agreed to put 335 01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:08,639 SU requirements for two NICS codes. We just got that update tonight which would 336 01:31:05,360 --> 01:31:13,199 in include super centers and the grocery stores. And so is there anything else 337 01:31:11,120 --> 01:31:16,719 that would be good for us to get an update on as it relates to this? I 338 01:31:14,960 --> 01:31:20,800 believe what would be appropriate is just uh we could do it in a conditional 339 01:31:18,400 --> 01:31:25,440 approval just to make sure that you guys you know cross all those tees dot all 340 01:31:22,400 --> 01:31:31,440 those eyes one for the SUP to to encourage that all grammatical and all 341 01:31:28,080 --> 01:31:34,480 changes are uh successfully included anything else that we should take into 342 01:31:33,120 --> 01:31:40,159 consideration for tonight >> there was one other one uh on the list 343 01:31:37,199 --> 01:31:44,400 of let's I guess it's number number 66 so other personal care services uh I 344 01:31:42,800 --> 01:31:47,120 think Bobby pointed out that that needs have us an asterisk. 345 01:31:45,920 --> 01:31:49,920 » There's a couple I have asterisk that I've noted and we can that's the type of 346 01:31:48,800 --> 01:31:54,800 things you can get with them. Not >> substantive. 347 01:31:51,120 --> 01:32:02,679 » Okay. So, SGB typos and changes accepted. Okay. Okay. Council, any 348 01:31:57,440 --> 01:32:02,679 comments and or questions on this item? 349 01:32:02,960 --> 01:32:11,360 Okay. Hearing none, council, I will make a motion to approve agenda items number 350 01:32:07,360 --> 01:32:17,600 one, two, and three with an effective date of December 18th 351 01:32:15,520 --> 01:32:23,360 and including the conditions of the changes for the SUP for the two NICS 352 01:32:20,320 --> 01:32:28,639 codes, all grammatical typos, etc. adopted and the eight outlying changes 353 01:32:26,800 --> 01:32:32,480 accepted along with ensuring that there was nothing else changed in the most 354 01:32:30,159 --> 01:32:36,239 recent version of the PUD. Do I have a second? We have a second 355 01:32:34,239 --> 01:32:42,960 from Councilman Keith Bonner. All those in favor? All those opposed? Motion 356 01:32:39,440 --> 01:32:46,960 passes unanimously. 520. Congratulations, guys. So, we'll get 357 01:32:44,880 --> 01:32:51,280 that cleaned up. I think Dan kind of timeline to review and to get back to 358 01:32:49,120 --> 01:32:54,880 the group. >> Certainly before the 18th. Uh, no, I'm 359 01:32:53,040 --> 01:32:57,679 just It should should be this week. Yeah. 360 01:32:56,080 --> 01:33:01,360 » Perfect. Would you guys like to say anything or you guys good to go? 361 01:33:00,560 --> 01:33:03,760 » Just thank you. >> All right. Perfect. in. 362 01:33:02,639 --> 01:33:07,760 » Yeah, we look forward to working with you guys. Congratulations. Merry 363 01:33:05,199 --> 01:33:12,159 Christmas. >> Okay. Agenda item number four. This is 364 01:33:10,639 --> 01:33:16,960 consideration and possible action to approve a mutual aid agreement between 365 01:33:13,840 --> 01:33:21,040 the Department of Public Safety, DPS, the Missouri County Sheriff's Office, 366 01:33:18,480 --> 01:33:25,480 and the City of Manville. Manager Dan and Chief, we'll turn this over to you 367 01:33:22,480 --> 01:33:25,480 guys. 368 01:33:26,719 --> 01:33:34,719 Good evening, Mayor and Council. This is a a mutual aid agreement that is 369 01:33:31,600 --> 01:33:40,560 required by state statute. House Bill 33 as it relates to critical incidents. Uh 370 01:33:38,320 --> 01:33:44,400 that requires a mutual aid agreement between the sheriff's office and DPS 371 01:33:42,400 --> 01:33:49,679 coordinates all of that. We have looked at the agreement uh I met with the mayor 372 01:33:47,920 --> 01:33:53,440 and Dan earlier today to discuss my concerns with it. I have some concerns 373 01:33:51,840 --> 01:33:59,520 with the agreement as it does not outline what the regulations are or what 374 01:33:55,679 --> 01:34:03,679 the uh mutual aid agreement is. Uh I have basically asked if we could have a 375 01:34:01,440 --> 01:34:08,400 little bit of time to look at this uh a little bit further with the sheriff's 376 01:34:04,880 --> 01:34:13,199 office to get some clarif clarification on the language they put in the 377 01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:16,960 agreement. Uh if we could do that then uh I could uh already talked to the 378 01:34:15,440 --> 01:34:21,440 chief deputy with the sheriff's office. We can set up a meeting this week. we 379 01:34:19,120 --> 01:34:25,360 can look at the uh issues that I have, the concerns I have, maybe get a 380 01:34:22,960 --> 01:34:29,520 clarification and then we can go go forward with this. We have to have 381 01:34:27,199 --> 01:34:35,199 actually have this done by January 1st of 2026 as that's deadline that has been 382 01:34:31,920 --> 01:34:38,960 set by the state. Um, as I was talking to them today, I found out that they 383 01:34:37,199 --> 01:34:44,159 have sent out or they have revised the original agreement that came out on 384 01:34:40,960 --> 01:34:47,199 November 19th. So, I was kind of hit with it after being on a week's 385 01:34:45,440 --> 01:34:52,239 vacation, coming back, finding out that there's been some uh language change 386 01:34:50,480 --> 01:34:56,719 basically to the original agreement that was set out. So, uh hopefully I can 387 01:34:54,639 --> 01:35:00,960 having a a meeting set up this week. Myself, uh the city manager will sit 388 01:34:59,120 --> 01:35:04,800 down, try to have something set up so we can discuss our concerns and see what we 389 01:35:03,280 --> 01:35:07,520 can see where we can go from there with it. 390 01:35:05,840 --> 01:35:12,960 » Thank you, Chief. Any comments or questions from council? 391 01:35:10,800 --> 01:35:18,040 » So, where are we? I'm sorry. So, are we is your is your asked to table this 392 01:35:19,360 --> 01:35:25,520 » I was going to suggest chief if you want me to jump in that um since we have ag 393 01:35:23,679 --> 01:35:29,840 substantially the same form as what what you have in your packet but the chief's 394 01:35:27,280 --> 01:35:34,159 going to have to revise it uh slightly with the procedures that need to 395 01:35:32,159 --> 01:35:39,120 accompany it. So I would say if you make the uh the motion to authorize u approve 396 01:35:37,600 --> 01:35:43,360 the agreement and authorize the chief to sign it once the uh final terms have 397 01:35:41,280 --> 01:35:47,600 been finalized. That doesn't sound right but once any of the revisions have been 398 01:35:45,199 --> 01:35:52,480 finalized. >> Okay. So you're to 399 01:35:50,080 --> 01:35:56,000 » make a motion to approve upon uh >> to approve the agreement 400 01:35:53,520 --> 01:35:58,960 » with the chief finalizing the the >> details the remaining details. 401 01:35:57,760 --> 01:36:02,639 » All right. Mayor I'd like to make a motion to approve with the chief 402 01:36:00,639 --> 01:36:05,840 finalizing the document. Second. >> All right, we have a motion from 403 01:36:03,920 --> 01:36:10,159 Councilman Oplaker, second from Councilman Bonner. All those in favor? 404 01:36:08,400 --> 01:36:14,239 » All those opposed? Motion passes unanimously 5 to zero. Chief, please 405 01:36:12,239 --> 01:36:16,480 keep us updated. We want to make sure we stay in compliance with state law and 406 01:36:15,600 --> 01:36:19,120 appreciate your work on that. >> We'll do. 407 01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:25,040 » Thank you, sir. Next, we have consideration and possible action on the 408 01:36:20,800 --> 01:36:29,120 2026 27 27 TCAP board of directors ballot. Miss Tammy Bell, this is item 409 01:36:28,400 --> 01:36:33,920 for you. >> Yes. So, this one of all of them is my 410 01:36:31,840 --> 01:36:40,320 very favorite because they actually put bios of all the candidates that are 411 01:36:36,400 --> 01:36:47,360 running. So, in your packets had a listing of the bios for the individuals 412 01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:53,840 running as well as um who the incumbents currently are. So, you'll vote for 413 01:36:50,320 --> 01:36:59,840 eight. Um so, not sure how you guys want to go about presenting which eight. um 414 01:36:58,159 --> 01:37:04,000 if you want to do it just as a panel based off for whoever makes the motion 415 01:37:02,400 --> 01:37:08,719 or if you want to discuss all of them and then decide but you'll have eight 416 01:37:06,639 --> 01:37:13,440 individuals to choose from that you'll cast your vote for this evening. 417 01:37:11,679 --> 01:37:19,040 Thank you, Tammy. I see here the incumbents. One, two, three, four, five, 418 01:37:16,239 --> 01:37:22,639 six, seven. Looks like seven incumbents are running. So, council, we have a 419 01:37:21,440 --> 01:37:28,880 choice. We can go for those seven incumbents and then pick an eighth or we 420 01:37:25,520 --> 01:37:32,560 can divide and conquer. Any thoughts or comments, council? 421 01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:39,080 » Councilman Bonner, >> Tammy, do you have any background on the 422 01:37:35,360 --> 01:37:39,080 what the board does? 423 01:37:39,280 --> 01:37:47,280 So TCAP is actually a coalition for power and so the city is actually a 424 01:37:44,159 --> 01:37:52,400 member of TCAP and it negotiates and keeps the billings reasonable but it 425 01:37:50,800 --> 01:37:57,360 also watches out for the entities for when 426 01:37:55,199 --> 01:38:02,920 different rate um increases are being projected or anything like that. So 427 01:38:02,960 --> 01:38:10,560 this is the board that oversees that, but it's really many cities are members 428 01:38:06,560 --> 01:38:13,840 of TCAP and it's a pack that really watches out for making sure the electric 429 01:38:12,719 --> 01:38:15,840 companies aren't >> they're aggregators. 430 01:38:15,119 --> 01:38:20,560 » Yes. >> So this is a yearly board. Did we have 431 01:38:18,719 --> 01:38:26,560 any interaction with them last year at all to where we actually spoke to them 432 01:38:23,920 --> 01:38:30,560 about issues that we may have had? >> So they actually have board meetings. I 433 01:38:29,199 --> 01:38:33,760 know they've had two of them over the course of No, the attorneys had their 434 01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:39,119 meeting here. >> I think you're mixing it up with GCC. 435 01:38:36,400 --> 01:38:43,679 » TCAP is an aggregator, a unit that takes all of the load requirements from all of 436 01:38:40,960 --> 01:38:46,880 its members, shops it out, gets the best deal, and then everybody who's member 437 01:38:45,360 --> 01:38:51,119 can go ahead and get that particular price on the electric stuff. So, it's a 438 01:38:48,560 --> 01:38:55,360 way for us to aggregate our needs with other other cities loads and get a 439 01:38:53,679 --> 01:38:59,199 cheaper price. and the board that oversees sees this company that is 440 01:38:57,679 --> 01:39:04,320 company entity whatever you want to call it um we have some input on so we kind 441 01:39:01,840 --> 01:39:08,719 of feel like we're part owners as well and not just a member 442 01:39:06,560 --> 01:39:14,880 » do we feel like last year's board did a good job at what they were supposed to 443 01:39:10,159 --> 01:39:19,679 be doing is there any opinion there >> no opinion I really don't know anybody 444 01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:24,159 personally that's on the board that I recall ever meeting I don't know if I've 445 01:39:22,639 --> 01:39:26,560 got any comparison but I've certainly had no 446 01:39:24,800 --> 01:39:30,960 » our rates didn't go up that much is what I'm kind of getting at. So they are 447 01:39:28,639 --> 01:39:32,960 doing the job that they're supposed to be doing which is keep rates low. 448 01:39:32,560 --> 01:39:36,800 Correct. >> Well for these are the city's rates of 449 01:39:34,800 --> 01:39:38,239 our purchasing not not the regulatory side that GC 450 01:39:37,679 --> 01:39:40,960 » the city. >> Yeah. 451 01:39:38,560 --> 01:39:45,440 » I mean cuz our usage is going up. >> I don't know Rosie might know if our 452 01:39:42,400 --> 01:39:49,040 bills electric bills are holding steady or if they've increased or that would be 453 01:39:47,760 --> 01:39:52,480 a >> they've increased but not because of the 454 01:39:50,800 --> 01:39:55,360 rate. It's because of the usage. >> That's what I'm saying. The police 455 01:39:53,760 --> 01:39:59,280 station is our biggest >> ad right now, I'm thinking. But we've 456 01:39:57,920 --> 01:40:04,159 also got >> the reclamation plant coming in. That's 457 01:40:01,520 --> 01:40:05,840 going to be probably more usage than what we're seeing. 458 01:40:05,280 --> 01:40:10,480 » That's right. >> So, this board is important to us to go 459 01:40:08,480 --> 01:40:14,480 out and find a good rate for us. And doesn't sound like the existing board 460 01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:19,760 has done a bad job. So all of the existing the board members are all part 461 01:40:17,199 --> 01:40:23,760 of entities other cities that they so they're all in the same field fighting 462 01:40:22,159 --> 01:40:27,440 for the same thing for all of the cities. So that's I don't know really 463 01:40:26,080 --> 01:40:30,719 how you could go wrong when they're in the same boat. 464 01:40:28,880 --> 01:40:34,960 » I don't know mayor it seems to me that we just need to find one person. Seems 465 01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:38,320 like the existing board has done a pretty good job. 466 01:40:35,840 --> 01:40:42,400 » Agreed. A thought might be um city of KMA is represented there and so is Deer 467 01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:48,080 Park. Um the city city administrator for KMA, Caesar Garcia. Um 468 01:40:46,080 --> 01:40:50,320 to have someone, you know, local would representation would probably be a good 469 01:40:49,520 --> 01:40:53,119 idea. Um >> yeah, 470 01:40:50,800 --> 01:40:56,800 » I would choose KA or your part. >> Manager Dan, I like that too cuz if you 471 01:40:55,119 --> 01:41:00,080 read the bold right above where it says vote for eight, it says after the seven 472 01:40:58,400 --> 01:41:04,880 positions are filled, the next highest low consumption candidate will be 473 01:41:01,840 --> 01:41:08,480 placed. And KMA is considered a low consumption, which is what that LC 474 01:41:06,480 --> 01:41:13,760 acronym is. So council, unless you have any discontentment, I would say we 475 01:41:10,400 --> 01:41:18,239 nominate the seven incumbents with uh Caesar Garcia from KMA. Any hesitation 476 01:41:16,480 --> 01:41:22,159 or issues with that? All right, I'll make that motion. Mayor Prom, can I get 477 01:41:20,320 --> 01:41:26,639 a second from you? >> Yes, I'll second that. 478 01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:31,440 » All right, we have a motion and a second for the seven incumbents and also for 479 01:41:29,280 --> 01:41:36,800 Caesar Garcia of KMA. All those in favor? All those opposed? Motion passes 480 01:41:34,239 --> 01:41:39,600 unanimously. 520. Next agenda item number six, 481 01:41:38,320 --> 01:41:42,639 consideration of possible action regarding direction to staff on the 482 01:41:40,960 --> 01:41:47,119 selection of an election polling location. This is a unique one on the 483 01:41:44,800 --> 01:41:53,920 agenda. Tammy, what do you have for us? >> So, 484 01:41:48,800 --> 01:42:00,000 Liz said reached out a as well as the um county and trying to find a location in 485 01:41:56,960 --> 01:42:05,440 the city for elections. The current location where we have our elections for 486 01:42:01,920 --> 01:42:10,320 the annex has been outgrown. Um it's no longer safe for the traffic that coming 487 01:42:08,719 --> 01:42:16,960 in and out of that building trying to get on to Highway 6, nor is there enough 488 01:42:13,280 --> 01:42:22,880 parking uh there. So right now the option would be to move it to the KC 489 01:42:19,679 --> 01:42:30,000 Hall which would mean all of those in Manville would be voting at the KC Hall 490 01:42:26,320 --> 01:42:35,440 or find a location within the city um to keep our voters here. So the thought was 491 01:42:33,199 --> 01:42:42,880 possibly maybe the police station right now is the only facility that we have um 492 01:42:39,199 --> 01:42:48,480 that would work. Um that would entail a few um amendments to our current sign 493 01:42:46,400 --> 01:42:52,159 ordinance so that we could put some restrictions on the way that the signs 494 01:42:50,239 --> 01:42:58,880 would be put up in front of the building so it doesn't look like a mess. As well 495 01:42:54,719 --> 01:43:02,320 as an ordinance drafting policies for the electioneering and where those 496 01:43:00,719 --> 01:43:06,639 canopies would go and all of the restrictions with that. 497 01:43:04,560 --> 01:43:12,159 So this is on here tonight for y'all to decide if that's even an option. If it 498 01:43:09,600 --> 01:43:16,719 is, we would need to bring those um the amendment and the policy to the next 499 01:43:14,880 --> 01:43:21,199 meeting in January because this would start for the March election. Um and 500 01:43:19,679 --> 01:43:24,480 then of course move forward until there's a better location that might 501 01:43:22,639 --> 01:43:28,000 could be found. >> Well, Tammy, I'll weigh in and I'll say 502 01:43:26,320 --> 01:43:32,560 I I trust staff to find the right location. We need a voting location in 503 01:43:30,080 --> 01:43:38,639 Manville. We right now pull early voting for Iowa Colony, Rose, Sharon, Savannah 504 01:43:34,800 --> 01:43:42,080 Lakes. Um people from uh Silver Lake, South Fork even come here because they 505 01:43:40,719 --> 01:43:48,239 don't want to drive up to the periland location. So um I wish we had and this 506 01:43:46,159 --> 01:43:51,520 is at no one's fault. I wish that and this is maybe a lesson for the future. 507 01:43:49,920 --> 01:43:54,800 When you have cities of fast growth cities, you need to be planning these 508 01:43:52,800 --> 01:43:58,800 things for the future. And while we don't run our own elections, it's 509 01:43:56,560 --> 01:44:03,440 important that there's collaboration by those that run our elections to ensure 510 01:44:00,800 --> 01:44:06,880 that these things are s uh thought of. You know, the police station is not 511 01:44:04,719 --> 01:44:10,719 ideal. It's not the it's not necessarily the best because, you know, it it could 512 01:44:08,960 --> 01:44:14,480 very much interfere with the important work from law enforcement, but if we're 513 01:44:13,040 --> 01:44:18,880 going to keep a voting location in Manville, one one of the fastest growing 514 01:44:16,800 --> 01:44:22,800 cities in the county, uh it seems like it's probably our only option there. So, 515 01:44:20,800 --> 01:44:26,159 I would trust staff to to figure out a plan and figure out what needs to needs 516 01:44:24,800 --> 01:44:30,480 to happen, whether it's there or somewhere somewhere else. But, um, it's 517 01:44:28,960 --> 01:44:33,920 crunch time. I mean, early voting for the primaries starts in February and 518 01:44:32,560 --> 01:44:36,800 we're about to come up on the Christmas holidays, too. And they start training 519 01:44:35,440 --> 01:44:42,000 their election workers and getting things prepped. The candidates need to 520 01:44:38,239 --> 01:44:44,880 know. So, uh, trust staff. I trust the countyy's going to figure out the right 521 01:44:43,040 --> 01:44:48,159 right thing. I appreciate the county and Miss Liz there for reaching out to us 522 01:44:46,400 --> 01:44:51,040 and having that conversation cuz they very well could have said, "Hey, we're 523 01:44:49,280 --> 01:44:55,440 moving it without any collaboration." So, I appreciate them reaching out and 524 01:44:52,480 --> 01:45:00,320 working with us on that. Um, but I trust you guys. Councilman Bonner, 525 01:44:58,320 --> 01:45:05,040 » did the policies change in the last couple of years about having elections 526 01:45:02,159 --> 01:45:11,040 at school facilities? I know they used to, but I wondered with all the security 527 01:45:08,639 --> 01:45:13,920 and things like that, did the policies just change that they don't do them 528 01:45:12,400 --> 01:45:18,639 there anymore? >> So, when I was talking to Lisa with the 529 01:45:16,480 --> 01:45:24,960 county, I know there have been some changes primarily um with election day 530 01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:29,119 and early voting and election day having to be within the same location. I know 531 01:45:27,280 --> 01:45:34,000 that was one of the changes, but I think with the school it wasn't 532 01:45:32,480 --> 01:45:38,639 that the policy changed where they couldn't have it at a school any longer. 533 01:45:35,679 --> 01:45:44,960 I think it had to do more with this one security options and two trying to make 534 01:45:41,840 --> 01:45:49,360 it consistent each year going forward and not so many hurdles to have to jump 535 01:45:47,119 --> 01:45:54,239 through with changes of schedules and whatnot. So I know at the stadium they 536 01:45:51,840 --> 01:45:59,360 were going to they used several years back they actually had voting at the 537 01:45:56,400 --> 01:46:02,480 stadium and then I know that scheduling took that option out. So I think it had 538 01:46:01,119 --> 01:46:05,679 to do with a combination of those things. I don't know that it's been 539 01:46:04,080 --> 01:46:08,960 completely banned all together at schools. 540 01:46:06,639 --> 01:46:14,480 » I was just thinking that but as far as room the schools have more room or those 541 01:46:12,719 --> 01:46:19,679 the the school district facilities have more 542 01:46:16,239 --> 01:46:25,440 room than anybody. Um, so I was just wondering about that option. Um, 543 01:46:23,199 --> 01:46:29,360 any of the churches that might be willing to do that might be another 544 01:46:27,360 --> 01:46:31,840 option, too. I don't know. But I'm just trying to think of some other options 545 01:46:30,639 --> 01:46:36,400 besides the PD. >> So, there are there isn't voting on 546 01:46:34,080 --> 01:46:42,400 Sunday. Um, which of course interferes with church as well as the security of 547 01:46:40,000 --> 01:46:47,440 the elections equipment. You can't just come in and pack it up or move it each 548 01:46:45,840 --> 01:46:52,080 day. I mean, there are very strict restrictions that just didn't work for 549 01:46:49,600 --> 01:46:56,639 Wednesday night church or Sunday church. So, they literally this was not taken 550 01:46:54,560 --> 01:47:01,679 lightly. I know that they've really thought outside the box trying to come 551 01:46:58,880 --> 01:47:07,040 up with those ideas before it was an idea of the police station. 552 01:47:04,239 --> 01:47:13,119 Um, it just wasn't consistent in something that would be 553 01:47:09,840 --> 01:47:17,040 a normal location year after year. And granted, this one may change as well, 554 01:47:14,719 --> 01:47:21,360 but it's not going to be every year. >> If if they do if we do end up using the 555 01:47:19,520 --> 01:47:25,360 police station, is the county going to pay for 556 01:47:23,360 --> 01:47:28,880 police officers that would have to be there so that we don't have to take 557 01:47:26,639 --> 01:47:32,320 people off the streets during election time? 558 01:47:30,080 --> 01:47:38,159 » So, it would be the same as what they do for the any other voting location if 559 01:47:35,760 --> 01:47:44,960 they pay for mandatory officers to be there. Yes. If it's by our choice, I 560 01:47:41,119 --> 01:47:49,520 don't know that that would be um in essence, we all are paying that bill. 561 01:47:47,119 --> 01:47:52,080 Every taxpayer pays it unless you're talking about just the primary. 562 01:47:50,639 --> 01:47:54,560 » We're talking about the cost more than the taking officers off the street. 563 01:47:53,920 --> 01:48:00,000 » Mhm. >> Uh I mean, how many has to be there when 564 01:47:57,360 --> 01:48:03,440 they're doing is it just one or is it >> I don't know that more people 565 01:48:01,760 --> 01:48:08,560 » there's a requirement for an officer to be there at all. they have election 566 01:48:06,159 --> 01:48:14,000 judges and those judges actually the election judge is even authorative 567 01:48:11,360 --> 01:48:19,040 higher than even the chief in that sense during that process. So I don't know of 568 01:48:17,119 --> 01:48:22,639 any requirement that has to have an officer there. 569 01:48:19,840 --> 01:48:28,320 » My only other concern is traffic at that location. I mean it's already pretty 570 01:48:24,639 --> 01:48:31,840 rough right there right now. Uh throw in people driving in and out of there with 571 01:48:30,320 --> 01:48:39,280 elections. I can see maybe having to have traffic control just to get in and 572 01:48:34,480 --> 01:48:42,280 out. Uh so hopefully they're think about that 573 01:48:42,320 --> 01:48:48,320 » person. >> Uh just to feed off of that a little 574 01:48:46,400 --> 01:48:51,920 bit, let's talk about the reason for the move is because of worried about safety 575 01:48:50,480 --> 01:48:56,719 traffic. And I know we've talked about this before that intersection right 576 01:48:53,600 --> 01:48:59,840 there that um you know we've kicked it around a little bit. And I know we've I 577 01:48:58,000 --> 01:49:04,639 think text us had some conversations about can we put a lot there, will we 578 01:49:02,159 --> 01:49:07,920 put a lot there, whatever else, but to me this is something that needs to be 579 01:49:05,760 --> 01:49:12,159 brought I think to the front burner about what can we do to make that 580 01:49:09,440 --> 01:49:17,760 location safe. Even if it's not a voting location is still, you know, uh the 581 01:49:15,360 --> 01:49:24,000 annex and the sheriffs and everything else there, something's got to be done 582 01:49:19,760 --> 01:49:29,440 to make that that intersection safe. And uh I think just we need to consider a 583 01:49:26,719 --> 01:49:36,000 more proactive stance on what can we do in that be it a a feed in lane uh 584 01:49:32,800 --> 01:49:40,880 acceleration lane or whatever else. But um I I think it may be a little more 585 01:49:38,960 --> 01:49:48,960 serious consideration on that in the future after the first talk about it. 586 01:49:46,560 --> 01:49:54,719 » Thank you, Mayor Prom. So Tammy, if we give you guys direction tonight to um 587 01:49:52,719 --> 01:49:58,719 start this selection of an election polling location, we would expect to 588 01:49:56,480 --> 01:50:02,159 have this on an agenda in January, I'm assuming. 589 01:50:00,159 --> 01:50:06,960 » Correct. And then we would have, of course, more conversations with the 590 01:50:03,920 --> 01:50:12,000 county. Right now, it was just kind of a broad idea. So we'll really narrow those 591 01:50:10,000 --> 01:50:15,679 things down with the county in regards to, of course, does there need to be a 592 01:50:14,239 --> 01:50:20,400 paid officer and who's going to pay that? who's going to fund during the 593 01:50:17,920 --> 01:50:23,679 primary portion the electricity and the you know the different things like that 594 01:50:21,840 --> 01:50:26,080 what what does that look like so there will be other 595 01:50:24,400 --> 01:50:29,760 » how do you reserve parking spaces for people that have to come there and 596 01:50:27,679 --> 01:50:33,040 protect the integrity of witnesses that have to come and give a testimony 597 01:50:31,280 --> 01:50:37,840 there's there's a lot of considerations I'd also like to ask that we put a 598 01:50:34,960 --> 01:50:41,600 consideration of a a timeline on this in regards to how many years we're 599 01:50:39,360 --> 01:50:45,040 comfortable because it's a beautiful police station beautiful place to have 600 01:50:43,440 --> 01:50:48,320 your voting but if we don't have a timeline it could be there for the next 601 01:50:46,480 --> 01:50:52,480 10 to 15 years. And we're wanting to ensure this is a temporary, not a 602 01:50:49,840 --> 01:50:56,320 long-term solution. Um, maybe when city hall gets the expansion, there might be 603 01:50:54,480 --> 01:51:00,639 an opportunity to use this space specifically for that. Um, but setting a 604 01:50:58,719 --> 01:51:04,480 timeline, those expectations up front allows us to go back to my original 605 01:51:02,000 --> 01:51:08,480 point, which is, you know, the proactive planning for the future and the growth 606 01:51:06,800 --> 01:51:11,920 that's going to that's going to come. And I think in January, that's a 607 01:51:10,480 --> 01:51:15,679 conversation, Mayor Prom, to your point that we could talk about is the the 608 01:51:13,679 --> 01:51:19,840 traffic there. and manager Dan maybe bring that up in a uh meeting with Texot 609 01:51:18,239 --> 01:51:23,679 that we have upcoming whenever the next one is. 610 01:51:21,840 --> 01:51:27,560 Council, any other comments or questions regarding this agenda item? 611 01:51:27,600 --> 01:51:34,480 » All right. Anything for you, manager Dan? No. All right. Um council, I'll 612 01:51:32,719 --> 01:51:38,000 make a motion to provide direction to staff to move forward on the selection 613 01:51:36,000 --> 01:51:42,080 of an election polling location with more information to come in January. Do 614 01:51:39,679 --> 01:51:46,080 I have a second? >> We have a second from Councilman Bonner. 615 01:51:43,599 --> 01:51:53,400 All those in favor? All those opposed. Motion passes unanimously 5 to zero. Any 616 01:51:49,280 --> 01:51:53,400 mayor and council comments tonight. 617 01:51:53,840 --> 01:52:00,560 Hearing no council comments. I'll just say um you know, thank you. Going back 618 01:51:59,040 --> 01:52:04,880 to the BCS agreement that we had in place, thank you to BCS. Ellie, I know 619 01:52:02,960 --> 01:52:11,040 Joe's is Joe's is out and you've stepped up tremendously. the entire team, Dan, 620 01:52:07,360 --> 01:52:14,719 Bobby, Tammy, Rosie, uh, PD&Z, Jason, he's not here anymore, but for the the 621 01:52:12,639 --> 01:52:18,400 work on this. It was a very aggressive timeline that we all worked hard, drank 622 01:52:16,320 --> 01:52:22,000 a lot of coffee, a lot of, uh, late night review sessions, but it was it was 623 01:52:20,320 --> 01:52:26,080 good, and I appreciate everyone's everyone's work there. Also, in 624 01:52:24,080 --> 01:52:30,080 November, council, the propositions passed. Um, and I sent an email based 625 01:52:28,719 --> 01:52:35,360 off of some information that I've learned to Dan in regards to, you know, 626 01:52:33,119 --> 01:52:39,199 potential financial impacts to the city regarding homestead homestead exemption 627 01:52:37,280 --> 01:52:44,000 increases. We're still looking at what those impacts might be based off of 628 01:52:41,440 --> 01:52:47,280 those adopted propositions. So, at some point next year, maybe around March, 629 01:52:45,520 --> 01:52:50,159 we'll do a mid-year adjustment potentially for the budget, but we might 630 01:52:48,719 --> 01:52:54,800 be able to have a better understanding at that point as to what the impacts are 631 01:52:52,719 --> 01:52:59,199 going to be and looking to next year's budget. So, just keep an eye out for 632 01:52:56,560 --> 01:53:01,760 information regarding that. Well, Councilman, I think this is your 633 01:53:00,400 --> 01:53:04,159 shortest meeting with us. >> My birthday on Thursday instead. 634 01:53:02,960 --> 01:53:06,159 » Oh, it's your birthday on Thursday. Happy birthday. What are you turning? 635 01:53:05,679 --> 01:53:09,760 19. >> 24. 636 01:53:06,639 --> 01:53:12,960 » Oh, 24. Okay. 24. See, I can say that now. I'm not the youngest anymore. 637 01:53:12,428 --> 01:53:15,920 [laughter] >> Well, Councilman, will you make a motion 638 01:53:14,400 --> 01:53:18,080 for us to adjurnn? >> I make the motion to adjurnn. 639 01:53:17,040 --> 01:53:21,599 » We have a motion to adjurnn from Councilman Rossy Knox. All those in 640 01:53:19,599 --> 01:53:25,599 favor? Oh, we need a second. We need a second from the mayor prom. All those in 641 01:53:23,199 --> 01:53:30,480 favor? All those opposed? Motion passes unanimously. 520 and we are out before 642 01:53:28,159 --> 01:53:33,639 7. Merry Christmas everyone and a happy new year.
