[1:04:37] Council will reconvene from executive

[1:04:53] present and we actually have our
Manville Economic Development
[1:04:57] Corporation President Jason Black that

[1:05:03] » We're ready.
>> Thank you for the invite. Everybody

[1:05:12] for this day, Lord. We thank you for

[1:05:16] you for this city. We thank you for
these folks that serve this city and the
[1:05:20] people of this city. Heavenly Father, we
pray for blessings and protection over
[1:05:25] everyone here. Heavenly Father, we pray

[1:05:33] your name that we pray. Amen.
>> Amen. Thank you, Jason. Next, we will go
[1:05:38] to the inspirational reading. And the
member is not present tonight, so I will
[1:05:43] do the inspirational reading. It's a
quote that I heard recently. I've been
[1:05:47] thinking about it non-stop the past few
days. And it says, "What a privilege to
[1:05:53] be tired from the work that you once
prayed for. What a privilege to feel
[1:05:57] overwhelmed from the opportunity you
used to dream about. What a privilege to
[1:06:02] be challenged by the life you created on
purpose. And what a privilege to outgrow
[1:06:07] things you used to settle for.
Next, we will move on to the pledge. So,
[1:06:13] if you can please stand and join me in
saying the pledge.
[1:06:18] » First to the US flag. I pledge
allegiance to the flag of the United
[1:06:23] States of America and to the republic
for which it stands, one nation under
[1:06:28] God, indivisible, liberty and justice
for all.
[1:06:32] » And to the Texas flag, honor the Texas
flag. I pledge allegiance to thee,
[1:06:37] Texas, one state under God, one indiv.
Thank you everyone. Uh council, if you
[1:06:45] can please join me in the front, we have
a presentation to give tonight.
[1:06:54] All right.
[1:06:59] So, we are celebrating tonight and uh if
our city secretary can join us, Miss
[1:07:04] Tammy Bell, we are celebrating a 5-year
work anniversary for our assistant city
[1:07:10] secretary. not to be mistaken with an
assistant to the city secretary, but our
[1:07:15] assistant city secretary, and that is
Miss Alyssa Deon. Uh what I'd like to do
[1:07:21] first is Tammy, have you say a few
words, and you know, Alyssa, she along
[1:07:25] with Tammy, you know, they're the glue
that holds us together. Alyssa uh
[1:07:30] supports all my crazy ideas and the
letters that I like to send and we
[1:07:33] appreciate that, Alyssa. And you help
make this city continue to move forward
[1:07:37] each and every day, and we appreciate
you. So Tammy, we'll have you and
[1:07:40] Alyssa, come on up here. Let's give her
a round of applause.
[1:07:44] [applause]
>> Thank you.
[1:07:47] So why I want to say thank you. Um when
Alyssa applied 5 years ago,
[1:07:53] I've been in management for over 30 34
years and done a lot of interviews. And
[1:07:59] Alyssa is the only one that I've ever
called back for a second interview. and
[1:08:04] not for me to interview her, but because
her interview was so good that I knew
[1:08:09] she could go to work anywhere. And so I
wanted her to interview me and determine
[1:08:14] was this where she wanted to be and was
I the one she wanted to work for because
[1:08:19] if not, there was no need for her to
waste her time. Um because this happened
[1:08:24] to be the first place to call her back
from all the applications she had out
[1:08:27] there. So 5 years later, thank you.
Thank you for choosing me. Thank you for
[1:08:32] choosing the city. and thank you for
making our department so awesome. Alyssa
[1:08:36] is the calm to my chaos and there's a
lot of chaos that goes on with me every
[1:08:42] day. So, thank you.
>> Congratulations, Alyssa. So, we have a
[1:08:48] lapel pin here for you to say thank you.
And we also have a fiveyear in
[1:08:54] recognition of your service to the city
of Manville. Now, like I always do, I'm
[1:08:57] going to have you say a few few words
and talk about your five years here with
[1:09:00] the city.
I want to thank you for having me. It's
[1:09:06] been awesome. It's been really neat to
see this city growing and so quickly. Um
[1:09:11] I talked in our planning and vision
visioning session that we had last week,
[1:09:15] just even driving down Highway 6 every
day to work at the difference that has
[1:09:20] happened in just that short amount of
time. So, it's really cool to be a part
[1:09:23] of that. And Tammy's an awesome boss.
Everyone here is amazing to work for.
[1:09:28] Just a short personal story. Some of the
council sitting here might not even know
[1:09:34] this. Uh I almost died a few years ago
and I went through some really serious
[1:09:38] surgeries and everyone here stepped up
for me. I was out for a couple months
[1:09:41] and employees donated their time to me.
I mean we truly are a family here and
[1:09:48] I'm really grateful to wake up every day
and be grateful to come to this job. So
[1:09:53] thanks for having me.
And a little known fact about Alyssa,
[1:09:59] the city that Alyssa lives in, there's a
coffee shop there that actually has a
[1:10:02] drink named after her because she
frequents there so much. And so, you
[1:10:06] know, she's a local celebrity here for
the city. So, let's join together for a
[1:10:10] photo.
[1:11:04] All right. Next, we have public
comments. Tammy, I don't not I do not
[1:11:08] see any public comments tonight.
Fantastic. We will now move on to the
[1:11:12] city manager update. Manager Dan,
>> thank you, mayor and council. Um,
[1:11:16] tonight's a little bit different. U,
maybe slightly unorthodox. Um, I need to
[1:11:21] use the city manager update for a quick
little presentation from a group uh from
[1:11:26] Manville Soccer. I guess Ted, are you
ready to go? Um, we were going to try
[1:11:31] and do this on on the during the
workshop itself and we ran over and with
[1:11:35] our new uh state uh requirements on when
we have to post our agendas. We weren't
[1:11:40] able to get it uh on the workshop, but I
think this is this is going to still get
[1:11:45] us there. Right. Want to make sure I
don't want to uh destroy any technology
[1:11:49] here, but can I
>> uh I think Blake has it, right?
[1:11:53] » No.
>> No. No. Okay.
[1:11:55] » Okay. Just try to get this in here.
>> Yeah.
[1:12:01] » There we go.
All right. Pretty cool logo, huh?
[1:12:04] » Y.
>> Well, uh, city council, Mayor Dan,
[1:12:11] uh, city manager Dan. Great. can never
forget you guys names the same. So,
[1:12:16] excellent. Thank you for having me. I
appreciate it. And I'll try to make this
[1:12:19] as quick as possible because uh you if
if it's allowable maybe a few questions,
[1:12:25] but if not, we can always come back
later for a different session.
[1:12:28] So, my name is Ted Ted Brian Calavota. A
lot of people call me Ted Brian. The
[1:12:34] last name's a little hard to pronounce.
I think that uh when I ran for uh Alvin
[1:12:40] uh community college board seat, I
probably would have won if I would have
[1:12:43] just gone by Ted Bryan, but uh it didn't
quite work out. Um but it's great to be
[1:12:49] here. I appreciate the opportunity to
give a presentation. So, who are we?
[1:12:55] We are
see if I can get this on here.
[1:13:02] We started out in 2007 as Shadow Creek
Soccer. And most of you are familiar
[1:13:08] with where Shadow Creek is. It's on the
west side of Perilland, west side of 288
[1:13:11] going north. [snorts] Small little
neighborhood kind of grew a little bit
[1:13:15] over time. We started with 24 kids.
And over time it grew and grew and grew
[1:13:21] and now we're about uh 1,200 in our
recreational league and we have a
[1:13:26] competitive league with about 550.
Okay.
[1:13:32] Also, I was sitting down one day next to
my wife while she was working computer
[1:13:37] and I said, "Well, the city said they're
not going to build us any soccer
[1:13:41] fields."
>> Hey, Ted, I'm going to interrupt you for
[1:13:43] a second. We're going to need you to
stay in front of the microphone so that
[1:13:45] way we pick you up for those watching
online. I know I know they want to hear
[1:13:48] your great presentation, so we're just
helping them out.
[1:13:50] » So, this I she said I said, "The city's
not going to build us any soccer fields
[1:13:54] because we really need them. We have so
many people." And I said, I think I'm
[1:13:58] just going to build build a baseball
league because the city decided to build
[1:14:04] a $10 million baseball park. And uh
there was nobody who really wanted to
[1:14:07] use it. Dad's Club didn't want to use
it. So they had their own fields
[1:14:10] already. So we I said, "Let's just start
a league." So we started a league. We
[1:14:13] have about 500 600 people in that going
three seasons a year.
[1:14:19] I also decided to start uh a swim team
uh a flag football league and also a
[1:14:26] chess club and that also holds a
uh summer camps. So kind of got involved
[1:14:33] with that all all while I was working
downtown Houston for Saudi Ramco. Uh had
[1:14:38] a long career there for about 20 years
and just recently took some early
[1:14:41] retirement. So um we also later in life
mid 2015 16 started um a pro training
[1:14:52] program. It was a training program for
three days a week for kids of the ages
[1:14:56] of 4 to 12 of all levels beginners to
intermediate to advance. And we also um
[1:15:02] finally u merged with the not with the
entity but the entity kind of
[1:15:08] disappeared. It's a long story, but the
entity in Periland that was running
[1:15:12] soccer kind of disappeared and we we
kind of uh took that step to be part of
[1:15:16] them. So,
we're about family, father and son
[1:15:23] playing uh recreational soccer together,
friends,
[1:15:28] having teams of, you know, mix of of
different kids from all over the
[1:15:32] community. And we're also about
competition. And with that, if it's
[1:15:36] possible, I'd love you. You want you
want to Okay. I was going to have my uh
[1:15:40] our vice president Damian come up and
talk. But uh so we did start in mid 2015
[1:15:46] 16. We started a competitive league. We
were basically focused on just
[1:15:50] recreational soccer, fun soccer for for
the community and family. But there was
[1:15:54] a lot of there were a lot of players
leaving to go to other clubs because
[1:15:57] they wanted a higher level competition.
So we started that in 2015 and we have
[1:16:02] about 500 kids in that program now.
um leadership and this is the vice
[1:16:07] president of uh of S Shadow Creek Soccer
now, Damon Gardner, with his his uh
[1:16:13] recreational team there. And we were
also going to have him talk about our
[1:16:18] our community relationship with uh with
Alvin ISD that that is an Alvin ISD
[1:16:23] school field there that we were given
permission by the school board to
[1:16:26] develop. Put a lot of money into that
field and uh it's it served us really
[1:16:30] well for a long time.
Celebration
[1:16:35] and teamwork.
So, why are we here? By the way, I do
[1:16:40] want to make a quick point about this.
Uh, we had the the privilege of having a
[1:16:46] a person in our neighborhood who won
three major league soccer championships.
[1:16:50] He was the goalie for the Houston
Dynamo. They won one championship in San
[1:16:54] Jose and then when they came here to
Houston, they won two consecutive
[1:16:58] championships after that. He uh
subsequently went off to Toronto and
[1:17:02] Colorado and the Dynamo recently hired
him back to be the manager of the the
[1:17:08] the major league soccer organization,
Houston Dynamo. And he moved back in our
[1:17:13] neighborhood, too, by the way.
Okay. So, this is the Manville Sports
[1:17:17] Park that I believe Manville has
recently looked at and decided that this
[1:17:23] is a great step forward and does look
like a
[1:17:28] pretty uh
pretty progressive and uh
[1:17:34] big step. So, what what is our proposal?
We would like to kickstart the program
[1:17:42] and the sports park here. And how could
we do that?
[1:17:47] Well, if you look at what the city
proposal is, if you just are going to
[1:17:51] build the fields
and the parking deck so you can park,
[1:17:57] you're looking at about an 18 to $30
million project. And that's a pretty big
[1:18:04] project.
The big chunk of that is parking deck.
[1:18:10] So, our proposal would be to skip the
parking deck and to build two synthetic
[1:18:15] soccer fields, two grass soccer fields,
and we could complete this within 6
[1:18:20] months. Now, to be able to have a park
to use it, you need a road. And also, in
[1:18:27] addition to the road, you need
bathrooms, a restroom. So, if you had a
[1:18:32] road, restrooms,
and a parking lot, you'd be able to have
[1:18:36] access to these fields.
So what we are looking at providing in
[1:18:42] year one after this is completed would
be a full-ervice recreational soccer
[1:18:45] league here for Manville called Manville
soccer boys and girls ages 4 to 15 a
[1:18:52] training program three days a week for
anybody to uh become a part of like a
[1:18:57] gym membership and also advanced teams
with professional coaches. Our focus
[1:19:03] would be primarily on the full-ervice
recreational program that is open to
[1:19:07] everyone.
[1:19:11] In addition, we have the ability to on
these fields to do multi-purpose
[1:19:16] and that is NFL flag. We are an official
NFL flag um franchise.
[1:19:23] Our league will be starting in about
two weeks.
[1:19:29] And we actually do have some staff
members from the Houston Texans who are
[1:19:33] in our league and will be coaching in
about two weeks. So if you come by the
[1:19:36] games, uh you'll be able to see some of
their staff there.
[1:19:41] So proposal for phase one, two synthetic
soccer fields, two grass soccer fields,
[1:19:46] a road, a parking lot, and a restroom.
Now the big question is who's going to
[1:19:52] pay for this? Right?
[1:19:58] This is where we envision these four
fields being on this map here. The
[1:20:02] parking lot right there, about 270
spaces, a restroom.
[1:20:07] A little bit different than the parking
deck, but uh it is something that could
[1:20:12] get the program going in a in a quick
time.
[1:20:18] So manual visitors, Manville visitors,
you're looking at about 200400 Manville
[1:20:22] residents in the recreational league,
about 1,200 non-resident visitors for
[1:20:27] the advanced league every weekend
[1:20:32] for eight weeks in the fall, 8 weeks in
the spring, about 6,000 non-residents
[1:20:37] for tournament weekends.
[1:20:41] And if you have a MLS youth tournament
where you have people coming from all
[1:20:45] around the United States and Europe,
you're looking about 6,000 non-residents
[1:20:49] that require hotels.
Yeah, they're not all going to fit in
[1:20:54] Manville, I'm sure. But if you have a
hotel here, they would definitely fill
[1:20:58] it up.
We're looking at, you know, 10K for the
[1:21:03] hotel, $600 for the city in taxes. So,
if you had four hotels, you might be
[1:21:09] able to bring in a little little bit of
revenue. In addition, you're looking at
[1:21:15] uh
restaurants and gas stations and all
[1:21:19] that kind of business.
All right. So, there's our NFL lag flag
[1:21:24] league right there.
And with the soccer,
[1:21:28] we have an idea for phase two, and that
would be a baseball clover leaf. We
[1:21:34] found this format to work the best. If
you go up to uh Shadow Creek Sports Park
[1:21:38] and you see the two artificial turf
fields and also the the little league ba
[1:21:44] uh baseball cloverleaf, it's it's a
great setup and it's uh it's good to
[1:21:49] have a focus like that for for each
sport.
[1:21:53] And here's the photo of our coach pitch
league. Kids between ages seven, eight,
[1:21:58] and nine with their parents uh helping
to coach, helping to also pitch to the
[1:22:04] kids.
[1:22:07] All right, phase three, 2030.
We are pretty excited about an indoor
[1:22:13] facility and uh we like to think big and
we want to have something that is the
[1:22:18] biggest and best in all of Texas and it
would be great if it could be right here
[1:22:22] in Manville.
It's an indoor FIFA regulation soccer
[1:22:27] field that would be able to host
practices and even official games.
[1:22:35] all the way for to adults.
And this is an example of what the
[1:22:40] technology can do these days. You can
pretty much have an indoor facility that
[1:22:45] can have uh
you know can have the the sunlight come
[1:22:50] right through it.
All right. So, what's the cost? This is
[1:22:55] the big question is how much is all this
going to cost cost and who's going to
[1:22:59] pay for it? Well, the synthetic soccer
fields is going to be about $2 million.
[1:23:05] The two grass soccer fields about 400k.
The lights and irrigation will be
[1:23:10] included in that 400k and uh and the and
the 2 million for the synthetic soccer
[1:23:15] fields. The restrooms about 300k.
Parking 160,000 for 160 spaces, $100 a
[1:23:24] space. So, total project of about 2.86
million.
[1:23:29] And we have a source of funding. The
city's a great source of funding, but
[1:23:34] we're also a source of funding. And
we're are proposing today to be able to
[1:23:39] contribute a million dollar cash
contribution to the city of Manville to
[1:23:42] build this park. So that leaves 1.86
million left and that would be a
[1:23:49] partnership between our organization and
the city of Manville.
[1:23:56] And uh so I have a little
little little table here you guys I can
[1:24:01] send this to you all personally if you'd
like to look at it more later. Um just
[1:24:05] kind of breakdown of what the costs are.
And that's pretty much our presentation.
[1:24:12] I can take questions now or I can come
back at another time and and we can
[1:24:17] follow up with questions.
>> Well Ted, thank you for this great
[1:24:20] overview. I think when you started
talking about the Dynamo, our city
[1:24:23] attorney was getting very excited over
there. We have a big should say football
[1:24:26] fan if we're using the correct
terminology. Um because this is not a
[1:24:30] listed item on the agenda, we can't have
a lot of back and forth discussion, but
[1:24:33] it would be great to have this as an
agenda item heading into 2026 and we're
[1:24:37] excited to continue the conversation
there. Thank you for the presentation.
[1:24:40] If you could please share that with our
city manager and city secretary. Yep.
[1:24:44] » They'll make sure to distribute it to
all of us.
[1:24:46] » Thank you very much.
>> Thank you much. Thank you very much,
[1:24:48] Ted. Merry Christmas.
>> Thank you,
[1:24:50] » manager Dan. Back to you, sir.
>> Appreciate that. Um, and then the second
[1:24:54] uh part of the city manager update, I
actually was going to let uh Chad give
[1:24:57] us a little bit of an update on the
personnel department.
[1:25:01] » Good evening, mayor and council. Um,
currently we are sitting with a 116 out
[1:25:08] of 131 as far as total employees. Um, we
have three departments that are still
[1:25:14] looking for individuals. Public works,
development services, and our PD. Uh
[1:25:19] public works has two openings but those
have been identified. We'll have those
[1:25:25] individuals starting uh between December
and first week of January. Uh
[1:25:31] development services has three
positions. Uh one of the positions is an
[1:25:36] engineer. We are in the final stages of
uh making that decision. Uh so hopefully
[1:25:42] we'll have somebody confirmed uh later
this week. Uh the PD has a total of 10
[1:25:49] positions that we're looking for. Eight
out of those 10 are somewhere in the
[1:25:54] process of going over personal history
statements, going through background
[1:26:00] checks or going through their drug
screen and physicals. Uh so between
[1:26:05] December and mid January, uh we'll have
those eight individuals on our lineup.
[1:26:12] Uh the other the last two positions we
have are for uh two police officers.
[1:26:18] Those are replacements that we're
working with. Uh we're still in the
[1:26:22] process of going through interviews. Uh
so just as a recap, right now we're at
[1:26:27] 116.
Uh by mid January that number is
[1:26:31] probably going to be up into the high
120s. Thank you.
[1:26:41] I wasn't sure if you were going to
mention the Christmas parade. So, I
[1:26:44] think Tammy can talk a little bit just
uh real quick to a quick reminder for
[1:26:47] this coming Saturday.
>> So, Saturday we will have our annual
[1:26:51] Christmas parade. The parade will start
at 6:30. The route will be the same as
[1:26:56] last year's. There will be some preade
activities going on starting at 5. That
[1:27:02] that will be at weeklys across the
street from the high school and that'll
[1:27:05] go from 5 to 6:30. and then the parade
from 6:30. And then tonight, please tune

Knox. All those in favor? All those
[1:27:48] opposed? Motion passes and a 4 to1 vote.

Bobby, please tell me I don't have to
[1:28:04] read all of this again. Just the
headers. Correct.
[1:28:08] » No, ordinances you have to read. Mayor,
>> I had to read the all the bottom again.
[1:28:12] » Required two readings and the charter
requires the caption to be read.
[1:28:16] » So, note to the charter review
commission if they come up next time
[1:28:19] around, maybe want to change that a
little bit, but
[1:28:22] » thought I got out of this one. All

[1:30:13] County Texas table by PDNZ on 102725 and
agenda item number three consideration
[1:30:19] and possible action to approve an
economic development agreement between
[1:30:22] the city of Manville and BCS Capital
Group. All right, council. So, we're all
[1:30:27] pretty well verssed in these three
agenda items. The team's been working
[1:30:31] hard with the BCS group, Aaliyah, uh,
Ian, and everybody there. Uh, council,
[1:30:36] we're going to group all three of these
together. And, and Dan, Ellie, please
[1:30:40] correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe
where it stands right now, we got an
[1:30:44] updated PUD today, and it's looking like
the items that are outstanding were
[1:30:49] addressed. um we may need to just you
know verify that and check and just just
[1:30:54] to run it through. But also in addition
to that the BCS group has agreed to put
[1:30:59] SU requirements for two NICS codes. We
just got that update tonight which would
[1:31:05] in include super centers and the grocery
stores. And so is there anything else
[1:31:11] that would be good for us to get an
update on as it relates to this? I
[1:31:14] believe what would be appropriate is
just uh we could do it in a conditional
[1:31:18] approval just to make sure that you guys
you know cross all those tees dot all
[1:31:22] those eyes one for the SUP to to
encourage that all grammatical and all
[1:31:28] changes are uh successfully included
anything else that we should take into
[1:31:33] consideration for tonight
>> there was one other one uh on the list
[1:31:37] of let's I guess it's number number 66
so other personal care services uh I
[1:31:42] think Bobby pointed out that that needs
have us an asterisk.
[1:31:45] » There's a couple I have asterisk that
I've noted and we can that's the type of
[1:31:48] things you can get with them. Not
>> substantive.
[1:31:51] » Okay. So, SGB typos and changes
accepted. Okay. Okay. Council, any
[1:31:57] comments and or questions on this item?
[1:32:02] Okay. Hearing none, council, I will make
a motion to approve agenda items number
[1:32:07] one, two, and three with an effective
date of December 18th
[1:32:15] and including the conditions of the
changes for the SUP for the two NICS
[1:32:20] codes, all grammatical typos, etc.
adopted and the eight outlying changes
[1:32:26] accepted along with ensuring that there
was nothing else changed in the most
[1:32:30] recent version of the PUD.
Do I have a second? We have a second
[1:32:34] from Councilman Keith Bonner. All those
in favor? All those opposed? Motion
[1:32:39] passes unanimously. 520.
Congratulations, guys. So, we'll get
[1:32:44] that cleaned up. I think Dan kind of
timeline to review and to get back to
[1:32:49] the group.
>> Certainly before the 18th. Uh, no, I'm
[1:32:53] just It should should be this week.
Yeah.
[1:32:56] » Perfect. Would you guys like to say
anything or you guys good to go?
[1:33:00] » Just thank you.
>> All right. Perfect. in.
[1:33:02] » Yeah, we look forward to working with
you guys. Congratulations. Merry
[1:33:05] Christmas.
>> Okay. Agenda item number four. This is
[1:33:10] consideration and possible action to
approve a mutual aid agreement between
[1:33:13] the Department of Public Safety, DPS,
the Missouri County Sheriff's Office,
[1:33:18] and the City of Manville. Manager Dan
and Chief, we'll turn this over to you
[1:33:22] guys.
[1:33:26] Good evening, Mayor and Council. This is
a a mutual aid agreement that is
[1:33:31] required by state statute. House Bill 33
as it relates to critical incidents. Uh
[1:33:38] that requires a mutual aid agreement
between the sheriff's office and DPS
[1:33:42] coordinates all of that. We have looked
at the agreement uh I met with the mayor
[1:33:47] and Dan earlier today to discuss my
concerns with it. I have some concerns
[1:33:51] with the agreement as it does not
outline what the regulations are or what
[1:33:55] the uh mutual aid agreement is. Uh I
have basically asked if we could have a
[1:34:01] little bit of time to look at this uh a
little bit further with the sheriff's
[1:34:04] office to get some clarif clarification
on the language they put in the
[1:34:10] agreement. Uh if we could do that then
uh I could uh already talked to the
[1:34:15] chief deputy with the sheriff's office.
We can set up a meeting this week. we
[1:34:19] can look at the uh issues that I have,
the concerns I have, maybe get a
[1:34:22] clarification and then we can go go
forward with this. We have to have
[1:34:27] actually have this done by January 1st
of 2026 as that's deadline that has been
[1:34:31] set by the state. Um, as I was talking
to them today, I found out that they
[1:34:37] have sent out or they have revised the
original agreement that came out on
[1:34:40] November 19th. So, I was kind of hit
with it after being on a week's
[1:34:45] vacation, coming back, finding out that
there's been some uh language change
[1:34:50] basically to the original agreement that
was set out. So, uh hopefully I can
[1:34:54] having a a meeting set up this week.
Myself, uh the city manager will sit
[1:34:59] down, try to have something set up so we
can discuss our concerns and see what we
[1:35:03] can see where we can go from there with
it.
[1:35:05] » Thank you, Chief. Any comments or
questions from council?
[1:35:10] » So, where are we? I'm sorry. So, are we
is your is your asked to table this
[1:35:19] » I was going to suggest chief if you want
me to jump in that um since we have ag
[1:35:23] substantially the same form as what what
you have in your packet but the chief's
[1:35:27] going to have to revise it uh slightly
with the procedures that need to
[1:35:32] accompany it. So I would say if you make
the uh the motion to authorize u approve
[1:35:37] the agreement and authorize the chief to
sign it once the uh final terms have
[1:35:41] been finalized. That doesn't sound right
but once any of the revisions have been
[1:35:45] finalized.
>> Okay. So you're to
[1:35:50] » make a motion to approve upon uh
>> to approve the agreement
[1:35:53] » with the chief finalizing the the
>> details the remaining details.
[1:35:57] » All right. Mayor I'd like to make a
motion to approve with the chief
[1:36:00] finalizing the document. Second.
>> All right, we have a motion from
[1:36:03] Councilman Oplaker, second from
Councilman Bonner. All those in favor?
[1:36:08] » All those opposed? Motion passes
unanimously 5 to zero. Chief, please
[1:36:12] keep us updated. We want to make sure we
stay in compliance with state law and
[1:36:15] appreciate your work on that.
>> We'll do.
[1:36:16] » Thank you, sir. Next, we have
consideration and possible action on the
[1:36:20] 2026 27 27 TCAP board of directors
ballot. Miss Tammy Bell, this is item
[1:36:28] for you.
>> Yes. So, this one of all of them is my
[1:36:31] very favorite because they actually put
bios of all the candidates that are
[1:36:36] running. So, in your packets had a
listing of the bios for the individuals
[1:36:44] running as well as um who the incumbents
currently are. So, you'll vote for
[1:36:50] eight. Um so, not sure how you guys want
to go about presenting which eight. um
[1:36:58] if you want to do it just as a panel
based off for whoever makes the motion
[1:37:02] or if you want to discuss all of them
and then decide but you'll have eight
[1:37:06] individuals to choose from that you'll
cast your vote for this evening.
[1:37:11] Thank you, Tammy. I see here the
incumbents. One, two, three, four, five,
[1:37:16] six, seven. Looks like seven incumbents
are running. So, council, we have a
[1:37:21] choice. We can go for those seven
incumbents and then pick an eighth or we
[1:37:25] can divide and conquer. Any thoughts or
comments, council?
[1:37:31] » Councilman Bonner,
>> Tammy, do you have any background on the
[1:37:35] what the board does?
[1:37:39] So TCAP is actually a coalition for
power and so the city is actually a
[1:37:44] member of TCAP and it negotiates and
keeps the billings reasonable but it
[1:37:50] also
watches out for the entities for when
[1:37:55] different rate um increases are being
projected or anything like that. So
[1:38:02] this is the board that oversees that,
but it's really many cities are members
[1:38:06] of TCAP and it's a pack that really
watches out for making sure the electric
[1:38:12] companies aren't
>> they're aggregators.
[1:38:15] » Yes.
>> So this is a yearly board. Did we have
[1:38:18] any interaction with them last year at
all to where we actually spoke to them
[1:38:23] about issues that we may have had?
>> So they actually have board meetings. I
[1:38:29] know they've had two of them over the
course of No, the attorneys had their
[1:38:32] meeting here.
>> I think you're mixing it up with GCC.
[1:38:36] » TCAP is an aggregator, a unit that takes
all of the load requirements from all of
[1:38:40] its members, shops it out, gets the best
deal, and then everybody who's member
[1:38:45] can go ahead and get that particular
price on the electric stuff. So, it's a
[1:38:48] way for us to aggregate our needs with
other other cities loads and get a
[1:38:53] cheaper price. and the board that
oversees sees this company that is
[1:38:57] company entity whatever you want to call
it um we have some input on so we kind
[1:39:01] of feel like we're part owners as well
and not just a member
[1:39:06] » do we feel like last year's board did a
good job at what they were supposed to
[1:39:10] be doing is there any opinion there
>> no opinion I really don't know anybody
[1:39:18] personally that's on the board that I
recall ever meeting I don't know if I've
[1:39:22] got any comparison but I've certainly
had no
[1:39:24] » our rates didn't go up that much is what
I'm kind of getting at. So they are
[1:39:28] doing the job that they're supposed to
be doing which is keep rates low.
[1:39:32] Correct.
>> Well for these are the city's rates of
[1:39:34] our purchasing not not the regulatory
side that GC
[1:39:37] » the city.
>> Yeah.
[1:39:38] » I mean cuz our usage is going up.
>> I don't know Rosie might know if our
[1:39:42] bills electric bills are holding steady
or if they've increased or that would be
[1:39:47] a
>> they've increased but not because of the
[1:39:50] rate. It's because of the usage.
>> That's what I'm saying. The police
[1:39:53] station is our biggest
>> ad right now, I'm thinking. But we've
[1:39:57] also got
>> the reclamation plant coming in. That's
[1:40:01] going to be probably more usage than
what we're seeing.
[1:40:05] » That's right.
>> So, this board is important to us to go
[1:40:08] out and find a good rate for us. And
doesn't sound like the existing board
[1:40:12] has done a bad job. So all of the
existing the board members are all part
[1:40:17] of entities other cities that they so
they're all in the same field fighting
[1:40:22] for the same thing for all of the
cities. So that's I don't know really
[1:40:26] how you could go wrong when they're in
the same boat.
[1:40:28] » I don't know mayor it seems to me that
we just need to find one person. Seems
[1:40:33] like the existing board has done a
pretty good job.
[1:40:35] » Agreed. A thought might be um city of
KMA is represented there and so is Deer
[1:40:40] Park. Um the city city administrator for
KMA, Caesar Garcia. Um
[1:40:46] to have someone, you know, local would
representation would probably be a good
[1:40:49] idea. Um
>> yeah,
[1:40:50] » I would choose KA or your part.
>> Manager Dan, I like that too cuz if you
[1:40:55] read the bold right above where it says
vote for eight, it says after the seven
[1:40:58] positions are filled, the next highest
low consumption candidate will be
[1:41:01] placed. And KMA is considered a low
consumption, which is what that LC
[1:41:06] acronym is. So council, unless you have
any discontentment, I would say we
[1:41:10] nominate the seven incumbents with uh
Caesar Garcia from KMA. Any hesitation
[1:41:16] or issues with that? All right, I'll
make that motion. Mayor Prom, can I get
[1:41:20] a second from you?
>> Yes, I'll second that.
[1:41:23] » All right, we have a motion and a second
for the seven incumbents and also for
[1:41:29] Caesar Garcia of KMA. All those in
favor? All those opposed? Motion passes
[1:41:34] unanimously. 520.
Next agenda item number six,
[1:41:38] consideration of possible action
regarding direction to staff on the
[1:41:40] selection of an election polling
location. This is a unique one on the
[1:41:44] agenda. Tammy, what do you have for us?
>> So,
[1:41:48] Liz said reached out a as well as the um
county and trying to find a location in
[1:41:56] the city for elections. The current
location where we have our elections for
[1:42:01] the annex has been outgrown. Um it's no
longer safe for the traffic that coming
[1:42:08] in and out of that building trying to
get on to Highway 6, nor is there enough
[1:42:13] parking uh there. So right now the
option would be to move it to the KC
[1:42:19] Hall which would mean all of those in
Manville would be voting at the KC Hall
[1:42:26] or find a location within the city um to
keep our voters here. So the thought was
[1:42:33] possibly maybe the police station right
now is the only facility that we have um
[1:42:39] that would work. Um that would entail a
few um amendments to our current sign
[1:42:46] ordinance so that we could put some
restrictions on the way that the signs
[1:42:50] would be put up in front of the building
so it doesn't look like a mess. As well
[1:42:54] as an ordinance drafting policies for
the electioneering and where those
[1:43:00] canopies would go and all of the
restrictions with that.
[1:43:04] So this is on here tonight for y'all to
decide if that's even an option. If it
[1:43:09] is, we would need to bring those um the
amendment and the policy to the next
[1:43:14] meeting in January because this would
start for the March election. Um and
[1:43:19] then of course move forward until
there's a better location that might
[1:43:22] could be found.
>> Well, Tammy, I'll weigh in and I'll say
[1:43:26] I I trust staff to find the right
location. We need a voting location in
[1:43:30] Manville. We right now pull early voting
for Iowa Colony, Rose, Sharon, Savannah
[1:43:34] Lakes. Um people from uh Silver Lake,
South Fork even come here because they
[1:43:40] don't want to drive up to the periland
location. So um I wish we had and this
[1:43:46] is at no one's fault. I wish that and
this is maybe a lesson for the future.
[1:43:49] When you have cities of fast growth
cities, you need to be planning these
[1:43:52] things for the future. And while we
don't run our own elections, it's
[1:43:56] important that there's collaboration by
those that run our elections to ensure
[1:44:00] that these things are s uh thought of.
You know, the police station is not
[1:44:04] ideal. It's not the it's not necessarily
the best because, you know, it it could
[1:44:08] very much interfere with the important
work from law enforcement, but if we're
[1:44:13] going to keep a voting location in
Manville, one one of the fastest growing
[1:44:16] cities in the county, uh it seems like
it's probably our only option there. So,
[1:44:20] I would trust staff to to figure out a
plan and figure out what needs to needs
[1:44:24] to happen, whether it's there or
somewhere somewhere else. But, um, it's
[1:44:28] crunch time. I mean, early voting for
the primaries starts in February and
[1:44:32] we're about to come up on the Christmas
holidays, too. And they start training
[1:44:35] their election workers and getting
things prepped. The candidates need to
[1:44:38] know. So, uh, trust staff. I trust the
countyy's going to figure out the right
[1:44:43] right thing. I appreciate the county and
Miss Liz there for reaching out to us
[1:44:46] and having that conversation cuz they
very well could have said, "Hey, we're
[1:44:49] moving it without any collaboration."
So, I appreciate them reaching out and
[1:44:52] working with us on that. Um, but I trust
you guys. Councilman Bonner,
[1:44:58] » did the policies change in the last
couple of years about having elections
[1:45:02] at school facilities? I know they used
to, but I wondered with all the security
[1:45:08] and things like that, did the policies
just change that they don't do them
[1:45:12] there anymore?
>> So, when I was talking to Lisa with the
[1:45:16] county, I know there have been some
changes primarily um with election day
[1:45:22] and early voting and election day having
to be within the same location. I know
[1:45:27] that was one of the changes, but I think
with the school it wasn't
[1:45:32] that the policy changed where they
couldn't have it at a school any longer.
[1:45:35] I think it had to do more with this one
security options and two trying to make
[1:45:41] it consistent each year going forward
and not so many hurdles to have to jump
[1:45:47] through with changes of schedules and
whatnot. So I know at the stadium they
[1:45:51] were going to they used several years
back they actually had voting at the
[1:45:56] stadium and then I know that scheduling
took that option out. So I think it had
[1:46:01] to do with a combination of those
things. I don't know that it's been
[1:46:04] completely banned all together at
schools.
[1:46:06] » I was just thinking that but as far as
room the schools have more room or those
[1:46:12] the the
school district facilities have more
[1:46:16] room than anybody. Um, so I was just
wondering about that option. Um,
[1:46:23] any of the churches that might be
willing to do that might be another
[1:46:27] option, too. I don't know. But I'm just
trying to think of some other options
[1:46:30] besides the PD.
>> So, there are there isn't voting on
[1:46:34] Sunday. Um, which of course interferes
with church as well as the security of
[1:46:40] the elections equipment. You can't just
come in and pack it up or move it each
[1:46:45] day. I mean, there are very strict
restrictions that just didn't work for
[1:46:49] Wednesday night church or Sunday church.
So, they literally this was not taken
[1:46:54] lightly. I know that they've really
thought outside the box trying to come
[1:46:58] up with those ideas before
it was an idea of the police station.
[1:47:04] Um, it just wasn't consistent in
something that would be
[1:47:09] a normal location year after year. And
granted, this one may change as well,
[1:47:14] but it's not going to be every year.
>> If if they do if we do end up using the
[1:47:19] police station, is the county going to
pay for
[1:47:23] police officers that would have to be
there so that we don't have to take
[1:47:26] people off the streets during election
time?
[1:47:30] » So, it would be the same as what they do
for the any other voting location if
[1:47:35] they pay for mandatory officers to be
there. Yes. If it's by our choice, I
[1:47:41] don't know that that would be um
in essence, we all are paying that bill.
[1:47:47] Every taxpayer pays it unless you're
talking about just the primary.
[1:47:50] » We're talking about the cost more than
the taking officers off the street.
[1:47:53] » Mhm.
>> Uh I mean, how many has to be there when
[1:47:57] they're doing is it just one or is it
>> I don't know that more people
[1:48:01] » there's a requirement for an officer to
be there at all. they have election
[1:48:06] judges and those judges actually the
election judge is even authorative
[1:48:11] higher than even the chief in that sense
during that process. So I don't know of
[1:48:17] any requirement that has to have an
officer there.
[1:48:19] » My only other concern is traffic at that
location. I mean it's already pretty
[1:48:24] rough right there right now. Uh throw in
people driving in and out of there with
[1:48:30] elections. I can see maybe having to
have traffic control just to get in and
[1:48:34] out. Uh so hopefully they're think about
that
[1:48:42] » person.
>> Uh just to feed off of that a little
[1:48:46] bit, let's talk about the reason for the
move is because of worried about safety
[1:48:50] traffic. And I know we've talked about
this before that intersection right
[1:48:53] there that um you know we've kicked it
around a little bit. And I know we've I
[1:48:58] think text us had some conversations
about can we put a lot there, will we
[1:49:02] put a lot there, whatever else, but to
me this is something that needs to be
[1:49:05] brought I think to the front burner
about what can we do to make that
[1:49:09] location safe. Even if it's not a voting
location is still, you know, uh the
[1:49:15] annex and the sheriffs and everything
else there, something's got to be done
[1:49:19] to make that that intersection safe. And
uh I think just we need to consider a
[1:49:26] more proactive stance on what can we do
in that be it a a feed in lane uh
[1:49:32] acceleration lane or whatever else.
But um I I think it may be a little more
[1:49:38] serious consideration on that in the
future after the first talk about it.
[1:49:46] » Thank you, Mayor Prom. So Tammy, if we
give you guys direction tonight to um
[1:49:52] start this selection of an election
polling location, we would expect to
[1:49:56] have this on an agenda in January, I'm
assuming.
[1:50:00] » Correct. And then we would have, of
course, more conversations with the
[1:50:03] county. Right now, it was just kind of a
broad idea. So we'll really narrow those
[1:50:10] things down with the county in regards
to, of course, does there need to be a
[1:50:14] paid officer and who's going to pay
that? who's going to fund during the
[1:50:17] primary portion the electricity and the
you know the different things like that
[1:50:21] what what does that look like so there
will be other
[1:50:24] » how do you reserve parking spaces for
people that have to come there and
[1:50:27] protect the integrity of witnesses that
have to come and give a testimony
[1:50:31] there's there's a lot of considerations
I'd also like to ask that we put a
[1:50:34] consideration of a a timeline on this in
regards to how many years we're
[1:50:39] comfortable because it's a beautiful
police station beautiful place to have
[1:50:43] your voting but if we don't have a
timeline it could be there for the next
[1:50:46] 10 to 15 years. And we're wanting to
ensure this is a temporary, not a
[1:50:49] long-term solution. Um, maybe when city
hall gets the expansion, there might be
[1:50:54] an opportunity to use this space
specifically for that. Um, but setting a
[1:50:58] timeline, those expectations up front
allows us to go back to my original
[1:51:02] point, which is, you know, the proactive
planning for the future and the growth
[1:51:06] that's going to that's going to come.
And I think in January, that's a
[1:51:10] conversation, Mayor Prom, to your point
that we could talk about is the the
[1:51:13] traffic there. and manager Dan maybe
bring that up in a uh meeting with Texot
[1:51:18] that we have upcoming whenever the next
one is.
[1:51:21] Council, any other comments or questions
regarding this agenda item?
[1:51:27] » All right. Anything for you, manager
Dan? No. All right. Um council, I'll
[1:51:32] make a motion to provide direction to
staff to move forward on the selection
[1:51:36] of an election polling location with
more information to come in January. Do
[1:51:39] I have a second?
>> We have a second from Councilman Bonner.
[1:51:43] All those in favor? All those opposed.
Motion passes unanimously 5 to zero. Any
[1:51:49] mayor and council comments tonight.
[1:51:53] Hearing no council comments. I'll just
say um you know, thank you. Going back
[1:51:59] to the BCS agreement that we had in
place, thank you to BCS. Ellie, I know
[1:52:02] Joe's is Joe's is out and you've stepped
up tremendously. the entire team, Dan,
[1:52:07] Bobby, Tammy, Rosie, uh, PD&Z, Jason,
he's not here anymore, but for the the
[1:52:12] work on this. It was a very aggressive
timeline that we all worked hard, drank
[1:52:16] a lot of coffee, a lot of, uh, late
night review sessions, but it was it was
[1:52:20] good, and I appreciate everyone's
everyone's work there. Also, in
[1:52:24] November, council, the propositions
passed. Um, and I sent an email based
[1:52:28] off of some information that I've
learned to Dan in regards to, you know,
[1:52:33] potential financial impacts to the city
regarding homestead homestead exemption
[1:52:37] increases. We're still looking at what
those impacts might be based off of
[1:52:41] those adopted propositions. So, at some
point next year, maybe around March,
[1:52:45] we'll do a mid-year adjustment
potentially for the budget, but we might
[1:52:48] be able to have a better understanding
at that point as to what the impacts are
[1:52:52] going to be and looking to next year's
budget. So, just keep an eye out for
[1:52:56] information regarding that. Well,
Councilman, I think this is your
[1:53:00] shortest meeting with us.
>> My birthday on Thursday instead.
[1:53:02] » Oh, it's your birthday on Thursday.
Happy birthday. What are you turning?
[1:53:05] 19.
>> 24.
[1:53:06] » Oh, 24. Okay. 24. See, I can say that
now. I'm not the youngest anymore.
[1:53:12] [laughter]
>> Well, Councilman, will you make a motion
[1:53:14] for us to adjurnn?
>> I make the motion to adjurnn.
[1:53:17] » We have a motion to adjurnn from
Councilman Rossy Knox. All those in
[1:53:19] favor? Oh, we need a second. We need a
second from the mayor prom. All those in
[1:53:23] favor? All those opposed? Motion passes
unanimously. 520 and we are out before
[1:53:28] 7. Merry Christmas everyone and a happy
new year.
