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

[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

[1:27:10] in to our social media. Um, we will have a digital viewing of the tree lighting

[1:27:16] this evening. >> Thank you everyone. And Tammy, that

[1:27:20] video is up. So, it's already it's already there. That tree that tree be

[1:27:23] lit. Tree be [laughter] lit. >> All right. Thank you everyone. Joint

[1:27:27] effort there for the city manager update. Next on to the consent agenda.

[1:27:30] Do I have any comments and or questions about the consent agenda? Do I have a

[1:27:35] motion for the consent agenda? >> I'll make a motion to approve.

[1:27:39] » We have a motion to approve from Councilman Oplagger. Do I have a second?

[1:27:43] » We have a second from Councilman Rossy Knox. All those in favor? All those

[1:27:48] opposed? Motion passes and a 4 to1 vote. Thank you everyone. No items removed

[1:27:56] from the consent agenda. We now have regular agenda and council. We're going

[1:28:00] to group one, two, and three together. 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 right, buckle up, guys. Fingers crossed

[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
