1
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,920
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. We

2
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,480
will call our workshop session to order.

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,360
It's 5:30, Monday, August the 24th,

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,880
2026. And uh

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,720
first order of discussion is discussion

6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,560
and update regarding Central Texas Water

7
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,640
Alliance meeting held on August the

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:24,960
12th,

9
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,480
2026. Mr. Steven Silver.

10
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:29,560
>> Good evening, Mayor and Council. I just

11
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,120
wanted to provide y'all with an update

12
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:32,640
regarding the latest Central Texas Water

13
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,440
Alliance meeting. They're currently in

14
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:35,880
phase two strategic planning and

15
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,680
assessment. Uh right now they're

16
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,520
assessing all membership data. Everyone

17
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:40,920
that's a member, including Leon passes,

18
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,720
provided long-range planning to the

19
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,480
water alliance. They're currently trying

20
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:46,440
to determine where that fits in their

21
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,400
goals and how to align everybody to be

22
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,000
on the same page.

23
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,640
Um they've also developed a number of

24
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,000
strategic regional incentives.

25
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,560
Uh incentive number one, they look to

26
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,400
reserve a little over 66,000 acre feet

27
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,040
per year from the Lake Whitney

28
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,120
reallocation. Uh incentive initiative

29
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,080
number two, they look to leverage unused

30
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,840
water rights on Lake Belton for a an ASR

31
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,360
project. We talked about this briefly.

32
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,320
They're looking to scalp the lake

33
00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:13,400
when it's discharging, take that water,

34
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:14,880
deep well inject it, keep it in Central

35
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,080
Texas, essentially keeping it from run

36
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,520
all the way to essentially keeping it

37
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,800
from running all the way to the coast.

38
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,040
Um initiative number three,

39
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,760
uh evaluate and seek groundwater

40
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,960
opportunities. Uh number four, they look

41
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:29,000
to develop regional raw reclaimed water

42
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,840
systems for industrial parks in Waco,

43
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,600
Robinson, and McGregor.

44
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,040
And then initiative number five is to

45
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,520
conduct a feasibility study on

46
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,840
acquisition of key water infrastructure.

47
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,720
To put it shortly, they just look to buy

48
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,400
any anything related to infrastructure

49
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,520
that they possibly can if it benefits

50
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,120
the long-term goal of the alliance. Um

51
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,240
they did receive a report from the BRA,

52
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,280
um the Bell house line, the raw water

53
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,040
line uh connecting Lake Belton to

54
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,880
Stillhouse is currently uh in its 60%

55
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,320
engineering design.

56
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,120
Uh they're still con- continuing

57
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,600
easement acquisition and there is a

58
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,840
small typo on the next one. They look to

59
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,680
begin construction of that line in by

60
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,400
end of year 2027 beginning of 2028. What

61
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,520
this means for us is during the severe

62
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:10,759
drought that we went to it went through

63
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:12,400
in the previous years where Stillhouse

64
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:13,760
was running

65
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,040
almost on empty, um

66
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,920
Lake Belton would continue to discharge

67
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:21,040
into that uh possibly keeping it full. I

68
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,560
don't know to what extent, I don't know

69
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:23,959
where the discharge of Lake Belton is

70
00:02:23,959 --> 00:02:25,760
going to be in terms of depth, but

71
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,080
they're just simply looking to connect uh Lake Belton to Stillhouse.

72
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,200
And as you know, Stillhouse and

73
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,520
Georgetown are already connected. So, it

74
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,360
could potentially solve some surface

75
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,320
water issues during drought conditions,

76
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,400
which is of great news to Lampasas.

77
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,760
Um the next section is relatively

78
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,080
interesting. Uh Coryell Hydro Power uh

79
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,720
reports that they were able to uh dig a

80
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,400
test well somewhere in between cross

81
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,240
country between Gatesville and McGregor.

82
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,120
And what they determined was a series of

83
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,200
well, tectonic fracture systems, if you

84
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,640
will, um

85
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:01,120
kind of hiding uh

86
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,920
a raw untapped water source. Uh the

87
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:06,160
water's roughly 16,000 ft deep and about

88
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,239
300°. So, they they look to the

89
00:03:09,239 --> 00:03:11,840
possibility of using geothermal power to

90
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,280
actually treat the water in the long

91
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,840
run. Um they pitched this to the Water

92
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,519
Alliance. I don't see it taking traction

93
00:03:18,519 --> 00:03:20,040
cuz they're looking for a $5 million

94
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,600
investment and that's pretty stiff pitch

95
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,959
for not knowing exactly what the

96
00:03:25,959 --> 00:03:27,320
return's going to look like. They don't

97
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,320
know how how much water's really there.

98
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,480
They know that they know it's there,

99
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,160
they know it's deep, they know it's hot,

100
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,840
but in terms of capacity and how well it

101
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,720
replenishes itself, it's a big unknown.

102
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,120
So, for them to ask for a $5 million

103
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,320
investment is well, it's a lot. So, um I

104
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:41,600
don't know how that's going to play out,

105
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,440
but uh if any more

106
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:44,720
interesting information comes out of it,

107
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,160
I'll let you guys know.

108
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,880
Uh more importantly, they're reviewing

109
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,640
full membership status versus affiliate

110
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,680
status. So, they've got about

111
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,560
approximately five uh board positions

112
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,080
still left to fill.

113
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,680
They've been on the hold of filling

114
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,720
those positions for about 2 months now.

115
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,760
And the reason they put them on hold is

116
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,080
cuz they were trying to determine how to

117
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,000
prioritize accepting these last

118
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,280
remaining memberships cuz they've only

119
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,959
got so many seats to fill and they've

120
00:04:07,959 --> 00:04:10,080
got more applicants than they do seats.

121
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,680
Um when it comes down to it, they are

122
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,160
trying to determine if we want to

123
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,760
prioritize based on first come, first

124
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,880
serve or if we want to give preference

125
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,880
to water providers that are also

126
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,240
wholesalers.

127
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,680
Um

128
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,320
in theory

129
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,120
I believe they should keep doing it the

130
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,680
way they in- initiated memberships in

131
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,160
the beginning is it was first come,

132
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,040
first serve. They didn't give preference

133
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,440
to providers {slash} wholesalers. And

134
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,040
mind you, had they given preference to

135
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,760
wholesalers, Lampasas would not be in a

136
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,800
membership status. Lampasas County

137
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:41,880
wouldn't even be on the board because

138
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,880
they're not a provider or a wholesaler.

139
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,600
So, I I disagree with the logic and

140
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,760
likely I will vote so. Um furthermore,

141
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,360
the general manager approached me via

142
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,360
email last week and wanted to know if

143
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,320
the city of Lampasas would be interested

144
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,200
in bumping down to an affiliate status

145
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,880
versus a full membership status. Um I

146
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,919
wanted to express that thought to you

147
00:05:02,919 --> 00:05:04,560
and tell you how much I disagree with

148
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,560
it. Um

149
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,240
it's not so much that we paid for a full

150
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:09,640
membership.

151
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,400
We When they opened the door, we got a

152
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,120
seat at the table simply because it was

153
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,600
recommended that we have a seat at the

154
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,160
table to determine

155
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,160
what resources were going to be brought

156
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,360
to Central Texas and how we could

157
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,600
benefit from them. So,

158
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,960
if everyone's on board with it, I don't

159
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,480
intend to vote in favor of Lampasas

160
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,160
going to an affiliate position. It

161
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,360
And by affiliate position, I mean a

162
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:34,720
membership position with no voting

163
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,760
rights. So, you're allowed to come to

164
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,240
the table, you're allowed to speak, but

165
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,600
really when it comes down to it, you're

166
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,640
not allowed to vote. Um I think that

167
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,000
would be a poor representation of the

168
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,480
city of Lampasas to get a seat at the

169
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,600
table yet not to vote. Um

170
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,640
>> And with that, we're we're still

171
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,120
required to pay a fee?

172
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,520
>> Currently, membership fee and affiliate

173
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,480
fees are the same. And membership fees

174
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,560
will likely go up next year or affiliate

175
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,160
fees will go down. But either way, there

176
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,240
will be a a membership There will be a

177
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,800
fee difference from membership to

178
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,240
affiliate going into the next year. Um

179
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,720
so, but either way, I would consider it unwise to bump down

180
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:09,480
to an affiliate status.

181
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,840
>> If they wanted, could they vote you down

182
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:13,840
to affiliate or since we're one of the

183
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,000
original

184
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,600
>> Right now, we were simply asked if we'd

185
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:17,840
be willing to. It's not coming to a

186
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:19,800
vote. And I will respond to such that we

187
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,919
are unwilling to. Um

188
00:06:21,919 --> 00:06:24,840
Furthermore, you know, I think

189
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:27,040
in the upcoming years, as we as we if we

190
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,680
stay a part of this,

191
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:29,600
um

192
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,000
year two, year three, we may strongly

193
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,440
want to consider what our role here is

194
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,320
going to be. Um do we want to continue

195
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,440
being part of the alliance, finally? Um

196
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,880
how does it benefit Lampasas? Um

197
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,160
can we help in any way? Those are all

198
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,520
great questions.

199
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,480
Their focus right now predominantly

200
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,160
seems to be on that I-35 corridor. It

201
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,440
seems to be McLennan and Bell County.

202
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,160
And rightfully so, it's heavily

203
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,560
populated.

204
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,400
I don't see the water alliance benefit

205
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,160
to Lampasas or Lampasas County. I'm not

206
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,520
seeing it to this day, but it's also

207
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,280
still too early to tell. Um and when

208
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:04,800
that opportunity comes around the

209
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,880
corner, if and when there's a project

210
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,840
that does benefit Lampasas,

211
00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:10,800
are we seriously going to contemplate

212
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,720
investing large capital dollars

213
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,800
and bringing another water resource to

214
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,040
Central Texas when quite frankly, we've

215
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,200
already secured ours? I ran some numbers

216
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,640
this morning, and we have roughly 5,500

217
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,760
acre-feet with the BRA. We're currently

218
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,760
using on average

219
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,120
almost 1,700 acre-feet a year. We're not

220
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,560
using half of the capacity that we

221
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,120
currently have. Granted, that capacity

222
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,840
can go through drought stages, which

223
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,440
hopefully the Bell House line would

224
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,320
solve some of those issues.

225
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:40,680
Um they're looking at doing doing

226
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,240
aquifer storage and recovery, taking

227
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:43,480
water from somewhere else, putting it

228
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:44,440
here.

229
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:45,640
We could do the same thing with Sulfur

230
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,200
Creek if we really wanted to. We have

231
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,960
3,900 acre feet on Sulfur Creek. If we

232
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,640
wanted to do an ASR project with that to

233
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,000
keep it here in the drought months, we

234
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,880
could also do that as well. So, my my

235
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,320
point in relaying all this information

236
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,760
over to you is I don't know that the

237
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,400
Water Alliance is going to be the great

238
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,440
big fix for the city of Lampasas. I

239
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,320
think our predecessors that met and

240
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:05,800
secured our water availability

241
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,880
agreements with the BRA and secured

242
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:08,960
these water rights with the state of

243
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,560
Texas, I believe to some degree it's

244
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,840
already been secured. Um there's no

245
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,360
point in developing another resource. We

246
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,120
just need to invest in what we have to

247
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,160
get it to where we want to be for the

248
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,680
next 20 to 30 years. But that being so,

249
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,680
it may be unwise to separate ourselves

250
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:22,919
from the alliance at this time. We may

251
00:08:22,919 --> 00:08:24,919
want to see how this is going to pan

252
00:08:24,919 --> 00:08:26,160
out. Um

253
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,600
like uh

254
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,240
membership

255
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,840
dues are roughly only $5,000 a year

256
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,719
right now. They may go up. Um

257
00:08:34,719 --> 00:08:35,880
you could look at that as a wise

258
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,560
investment to see where it's headed, or

259
00:08:37,560 --> 00:08:39,960
you could look at that as a burden that

260
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,360
we don't need to pay for anymore. Um

261
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:47,720
it's really up to you guys. Um but uh my state on this is we we stay in a full

262
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,400
membership status. We don't bump down to

263
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:50,920
affiliate. I think it would be wise to

264
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,640
hang on for the next at least one more

265
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,920
year to see where it takes us. And

266
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:56,920
at some point we're going to have to

267
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,240
determine if we want to stay on it in

268
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,120
the long term or give our seat to

269
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,120
someone that is actually going to

270
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,160
benefit from the Water Alliance.

271
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,680
All good decisions to be had.

272
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:07,120
>> Steven, what other entities or

273
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,040
organizations are looking at um the

274
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,200
affiliate status?

275
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,320
>> Um I only know of one. They didn't they didn't uh relay them all off. I

276
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,600
only know of one because well, I I know

277
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,400
the company. So, the Central Texas Water

278
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:20,960
Supply Corporation is one of the members

279
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,520
knocking on the door.

280
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,400
That is why I believe they're asking us

281
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,280
to step down to an affiliate status is

282
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,120
because our wholesaler

283
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,240
is actually asking for a full

284
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:30,560
membership.

285
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:32,240
And

286
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,200
if it was a traditional relationship, I

287
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,600
would say that's not a bad decision to

288
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,640
make if they're equally representing us.

289
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,400
But as we all know, we're not entirely

290
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:40,640
sure if the city of Texas is equally

291
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:41,960
representing us. So, why would we want

292
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,320
to step down

293
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,880
at this time? Just my opinion.

294
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,480
But then there's a there's a handful of

295
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,800
others. I I don't know who they all are.

296
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,760
Um

297
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:56,030
Any other questions?

298
00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:01,350
Thank you.

299
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:02,960
» Number three, discussion regarding the

300
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:07,120
comprehensive fund balance policy.

301
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,240
>> Good evening, Mayor and Council. Um you

302
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,960
have on the agenda later this evening

303
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,640
possible change to our fund balance

304
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,040
policy. Our fund balance policy hasn't

305
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,720
been updated since 2013.

306
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,320
Um and there are a couple of items that

307
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,720
I would like to propose to change.

308
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,120
Currently, the policy is written that um

309
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,400
we'll observe a 35% fund balance in the

310
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,320
general fund, electric fund, and water

311
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,440
fund. And anything in excess of the 35%

312
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,640
will be made available for capital

313
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,040
purchases. It's also written in such a

314
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,280
way that the 35%

315
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,000
number is applied to the most recently

316
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,480
completed audited fiscal year. So, the

317
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,400
reserves necessary for this year going

318
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,800
into next budget year are based on our

319
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,120
operating numbers from FY 25. So, we're

320
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,400
running

321
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,560
It's not necessarily applying that

322
00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:06,120
reserve balance to our current operating

323
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,680
expenditures.

324
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:09,520
Um so, I would like to update that to

325
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,800
bring it to the current fiscal year or

326
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,400
the next fiscal year when we're

327
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,040
presenting um this sheet during budget.

328
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,400
Additionally, I would like to propose

329
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,440
that we look at changing the percentage,

330
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,280
the 35%,

331
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,080
to a number of operating days.

332
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:27,720
Um

333
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,800
you know, we have this reserve

334
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,080
policy in case there were a major

335
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,120
emergency within the city, the city

336
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,840
could keep operating if there weren't

337
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,600
any revenues coming into the city. The

338
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,280
likelihood that that lasts for

339
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,360
4 plus months is is quite unlikely

340
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,320
without us receiving some additional

341
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,800
assistance. So, what I've proposed in

342
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:56,240
this fund balance policy is 90 days for

343
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:02,110
the general fund, 3 months of operating.

344
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,760
120 days for the electric fund.

345
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,560
You could recommend higher, but as the

346
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:11,880
city doesn't own its own substations,

347
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,800
if we're not on the hook if one of those

348
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,840
large transformers go out, so it's not

349
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,440
as expensive to replace those. And then

350
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,480
also 120 days in the water fund. So,

351
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,920
it's not that far off percentage-wise

352
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,880
other than in the general fund, it would

353
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,600
drop from 35% to about 25%.

354
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,400
Um, but it still maintains a consistent

355
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,800
fund balance for operations in case of

356
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,920
an emergency. Monica, if you could go to

357
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,520
page 69 of the packet.

358
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,360
Um, the existing policy is also written

359
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,560
that in the order of reserves spent, you

360
00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:48,480
would spend your most restricted funds

361
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,760
first and your least restricted funds

362
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,200
last. And I think that's kind of

363
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,880
counterintuitive because if you've

364
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,920
restricted funds for a particular

365
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,480
purpose, that means you've been saving

366
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,720
up for that purpose. And you would think

367
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,160
that you would spend the free available

368
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,120
dollars before you would spend the more

369
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,760
restricted funds. It also the policy the

370
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,040
proposed policy implements

371
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,880
mandatory reporting, so twice a year um,

372
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,760
council would get an update on fund

373
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,200
balance and fund balance projections.

374
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,880
And it also establishes a timeline for

375
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,640
if a fund is below the recommended fund

376
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,920
balance, what steps are we taking within

377
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,320
2 years to get that funds to our reserve

378
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:37,160
policy? So page 69 is basically

379
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,920
our existing policy except I did apply

380
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,480
35%

381
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,560
to the upcoming fiscal year rather than

382
00:13:43,560 --> 00:13:45,200
FY25

383
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,440
to give you an apples-to-apples

384
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,920
comparison. So with current reserves or

385
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,000
fund balance, the general fund is

386
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,080
currently at 31.26%

387
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,200
or $519,000

388
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,000
shy of that 35%

389
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,560
reserve fund goal. You can scroll down a

390
00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:06,120
little bit, Monica.

391
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,640
You'll see that the electric fund is at

392
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,520
51.19%

393
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,760
with $2.12 million in excess above the

394
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,920
35%.

395
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,600
And then the water fund is at 29.92%

396
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,080
which is $277,000

397
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,840
shy of the 35%

398
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,520
fund balance requirement in our policy.

399
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,240
If you scroll to the next page which is

400
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,120
the proposed policy and you apply the

401
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,800
number of days

402
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,680
that I proposed versus the percentage

403
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,080
method, you'll see that that flips the

404
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:38,720
general fund

405
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,240
to hold what we would have in reserves

406
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,560
estimated at the end of FY27

407
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:50,200
is 114 operating days. So $919,000

408
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,240
excess in reserves in the general fund.

409
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,800
The electric fund would be at 187 days,

410
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,320
$2.4 million excess. And the water fund

411
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:01,839
is still

412
00:15:01,839 --> 00:15:03,920
tracking a little low

413
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,200
but about $110,000

414
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,600
less than the 35%.

415
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,560
I think what this might show you is

416
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,839
we're here to be stewards of our

417
00:15:14,839 --> 00:15:17,880
taxpayer and our utility payers' money.

418
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:22,960
And I understand being conservative and

419
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,800
really building up a fund balance, but

420
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,680
at some point there's a balance between

421
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,560
being good stewards and not responsibly

422
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,920
spending our taxpayers money when we

423
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,520
have some funds that have so much excess

424
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,720
in reserve. Whether you're looking at

425
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,560
the 35%

426
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,080
or the 120 days.

427
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,240
So that's the basis of my

428
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,320
recommendation for changes for the fund

429
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,000
balance policy. Of course, it's

430
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,600
certainly up for questions and and

431
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:52,520
conversation.

432
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,920
>> Does this play into financial auditing

433
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,200
purposes at all or do they look at both

434
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:00,840
when they're doing an outside audit?

435
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:05,190
>> They'll look at our adopted policy.

436
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,760
» It seems that this is a

437
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,840
looking at number of days versus

438
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,040
percentages a pretty common governmental

439
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:12,680
standard.

440
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,840
>> You'll find it both ways.

441
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,160
>> I've run into number of days more often,

442
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:18,640
I guess.

443
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:24,310
>> Sure.

444
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:25,680
» Any other questions?

445
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,720
>> I'd be on board for it. Seem like the

446
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,440
proper thing to do at this time in the

447
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,520
world we're living in.

448
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,320
I think that's a would be a good avenue

449
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,390
for us.

450
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:38,400
» I do

451
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,000
kind of as a caveat to this, you know,

452
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,839
at our last meeting I said that I

453
00:16:43,839 --> 00:16:45,440
wouldn't recommend decreasing our

454
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,800
electric rate at this time, but I do

455
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,839
think given this information that we're

456
00:16:49,839 --> 00:16:52,720
looking at now that we have room to do

457
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,040
that.

458
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,440
>> Appreciate your hard work

459
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:57,000
>> Thank you.

460
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,280
>> putting this together.

461
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,200
And how how soon can we reduce the

462
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,040
electric rate?

463
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,720
>> We'll adopt it with our fee schedule to

464
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,400
take effect October 1.

465
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:05,800
>> Okay.

466
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:06,959
>> Did you have a question?

467
00:17:06,959 --> 00:17:08,360
>> No, I was just going to make a comment.

468
00:17:08,360 --> 00:17:09,640
I'm in agreement that you know, we're

469
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,120
stewards with our with taxpayers money

470
00:17:12,120 --> 00:17:13,120
and

471
00:17:13,120 --> 00:17:14,839
I don't think government should ever

472
00:17:14,839 --> 00:17:16,839
feel like they can spend

473
00:17:16,839 --> 00:17:18,560
our citizens money better than they can,

474
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:19,959
so

475
00:17:19,959 --> 00:17:21,240
there's no reason to hold on to that

476
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,920
much cash if we don't have to.

477
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,040
>> If we have to if we go to the number of

478
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,360
days

479
00:17:28,360 --> 00:17:31,000
is that an ongoing analysis and review

480
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,400
of the finance department?

481
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,560
>> So, we'll I'll do this twice a year.

482
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:35,920
We'll do it in March when we're

483
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,560
beginning our budgeting process

484
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,880
internally, and then there will be one

485
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,600
in your budget book that you receive

486
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,600
later that summer. Okay. We'll report to

487
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,240
you twice a year on

488
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,800
fund balance.

489
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,240
Okay.

490
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:52,280
>> Now, this

491
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:53,800
uh

492
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,120
what's in excess can only be used for

493
00:17:56,120 --> 00:17:57,520
capital improvements, or how does that

494
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:57,800
work?

495
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,640
>> It is recommended that it's used for

496
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,840
one-time capital improvements, and that

497
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,880
is in the policy. Um

498
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,200
obviously, if you're drawing down on

499
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,600
fund balance to support the cost of

500
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,880
recurring expenditures, so personnel,

501
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,600
for example, those costs don't go away,

502
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,640
but the reserves eventually will.

503
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:18,160
>> Yeah.

504
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,960
>> And so, it's recommended that it's used

505
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,360
for capital projects rather than ongoing

506
00:18:22,360 --> 00:18:23,480
expenditures.

507
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,000
>> So, water capital improvement projects

508
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,360
can be included in that?

509
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:28,840
>> Yes.

510
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,790
>> Thank you.

511
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,000
Anyone else?

512
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:41,790
Thank you, Mr.

513
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,800
Discussion regarding any item on record

514
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,360
session for August 24th, 2026. No action

515
00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:50,560
to be taken during workshop session.

516
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,360
>> I have an item I wanted to just mention.

517
00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:55,400
In the department reports

518
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,680
uh that are in our packet

519
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,640
there's a really incredible report from

520
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,000
the library department uh from our

521
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,520
library the kind of work that they've

522
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,200
done with the staff, the director, and

523
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,360
the board

524
00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:10,320
on improving and reaching out to our um

525
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,120
citizens with different kinds of

526
00:19:12,120 --> 00:19:14,400
services and different kinds of programs

527
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,120
to to be important to our people and our

528
00:19:18,120 --> 00:19:20,280
community. I just think that is

529
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,280
something that's commendable and we have

530
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,880
we don't often tell our people thank

531
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,200
you. And I just like to hear that from

532
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,360
all of us once in a while and and this

533
00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:34,150
is one of those times.

534
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,310
» Anything else?

535
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,240
Number five, discussion regarding any

536
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,280
items not included on the regular

537
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,120
session for August 24th, 2026 for

538
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:47,920
consideration on the future agenda.

539
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,640
No action can be taken by the city

540
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:54,230
council.

541
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,320
And there is none.

542
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:57,880
And can I get a motion to adjourn

543
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:58,720
workshop?

544
00:19:58,720 --> 00:19:59,440
>> So moved.

545
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:00,280
>> Second.

546
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,360
>> All in favor?

547
00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:03,160
>> Aye.

548
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,560
>> And that will move us into our regular

549
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:18,350
session. We'll call to order. All rise.

550
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:19,720
Let us pray.

551
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:20,920
Dear heavenly Father, we couldn't be

552
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,120
more grateful to be in this great

553
00:20:22,120 --> 00:20:24,400
community of Lampasas tonight.

554
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,320

We ask that you be with us, be with our

557
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,560

558
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,080
to make some good decisions, exchange

559
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,000
some good information.

560
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,440
And until you can meet again, we ask

561
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,080

563
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:41,800
>> Amen.

564
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,160
>> Do you all want me to pledge?

565
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,520
>> I pledge allegiance to the flag of the

566
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,640
United States of America

567
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,440
and to the republic for which it stands,

568
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,600
one nation under God,

569
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,000
indivisible, with liberty and justice

570
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,320
for all.

571

Honor the Texas flag.

572
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,360
I pledge allegiance to the Texas flag,

under God, one and indivisible.

575
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,520
Tonight we have a a special group of

576
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,030
folks here with us tonight.

577
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,360
It uh

578
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:34,800
it's a tough one for me and as well as

579
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:41,240
it is for I I can't even imagine what Adrian has been through in the last

580
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,800
several months with the loss of

581
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,120
Adela and uh

582
00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:50,400
I felt like I wanted to say thank you,

583
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,680
Adrian, to you and your team for what

584
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,080
you had

585
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,840
contributed to our community.

586
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,440
Most importantly, what Adela

587
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,800
has contributed

588
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,040
into our community.

589
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,840
Uh

590
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,360
we probably don't know how many taxpayer

591
00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:14,480
or taxes that your group has paid into

592
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,120

00:22:16,120 --> 00:22:18,600

impact on our local economy and provided

609

jobs for many people.

We are grateful for your role in

Thank you.

618
00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:08,880
» And this evening, I'm taking the

to Adrian

623
00:23:17,360 --> 00:23:20,040
and his three children

624
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:24,360
and his entire extended family

625
00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:26,680
and his team that's with him here

626
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,520
tonight

627
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,880
concerning the recent ultimate death

628
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,520
of Adrian's wife, Adela Villa, and their

629
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,880
14-year-old son, Adrian Frias

630
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,280
on February the 28th, March 1st

631
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,040
when the car they were in was struck by

632
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,520
another driver.

633
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,120
As most people know in town, Adrian and

634
00:23:50,120 --> 00:23:52,000
Adela started working in the restaurant

635
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,760
business in Lampasas many, many years

636
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:55,920
ago.

637
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,920
Over the years through extremely

638
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,880
demanding work, they had become

639
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,720
successful owners and operators of two

640
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,720
very well-loved, busy restaurants in

641
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,200
Lampasas

642
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,320
Giovanni's and El Frias.

643
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,640
For decades, Adrian and Adela have also

644
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,480
been active citizens and participants in

645
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,560
the Lampasas community

646
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,360
as well as staying involved with their

647
00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:21,680
children's

648
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,040
lives, education, activity

649
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,520
including

650
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,520
Adrian Jr.'s involvement in soccer.

651
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,080
The Frias family are notable examples

652
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,600
of the optimistic, industrious,

653
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,360
enterprise spirit that has played a

654
00:24:38,360 --> 00:24:40,080
critical role

655
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,680
in the ongoing economic growth of our

656
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,960
community.

657
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,120
We, the council, city staff, we want to

658
00:24:48,120 --> 00:24:51,720
express to you guys

659
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,520
our heartfelt appreciation for the hard

660
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,000
work and dedication to the success

661
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,800
that Adrian and Adela

662
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,280
and their families, including Adrian

663
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,760
Jr., have given over the years to help

664
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,400
build

665
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,800
and feed the city.

666
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,680
Only a few citizens have achieved the

667
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,960
position of respect and high esteem

668
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,640
that Adrian and Adela have in the city.

669
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,960
Because of their business acumen,

670
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:26,160
diligence, and extraordinary work ethic,

671
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,640
Adela and Adrian Jr.'s absence will be

672
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,040
felt in Lampasas

673
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,360
forever.

674
00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:34,720
Finally,

675
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,560
I personally want to thank

676
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,800
to be sure Adrian knows that I

677
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,400
personally stand behind him

678
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:46,160
and mourn deeply with him now.

679
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,840
And I think our council would express

680
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,880
the same thing

681
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,520
in the darkest of times.

682
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,680
And I know

683
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,440
God's with you guys.

684
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,320
I've seen him work,

685
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,200
and it's been miraculously

686
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,680
that you guys are here today.

687
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,120
And today, on behalf of the city

688
00:26:08,120 --> 00:26:10,080
and the city council,

689
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,320
Adrian, I want you to come forth on a

690
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:31,230
present to you the keys of the city.

691
00:26:31,240 --> 00:28:30,390
It's my pleasure.

696
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:44,750
after that.

697
00:28:44,760 --> 00:29:27,110
Thank you guys. We love you.

698
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:28,920
All right, that'll take us to our public

» I'm going to sit here.

727
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:49,680
I can go by memory, but I don't think

728
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,400
it'll work out well.

729
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,750
There it

00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:05,270

Got it.

All right.

So, the department overview, uh we have

735
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,680

809
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,920

00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,760
geographic zones, uh northwest,

811
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,360
southwest, northeast, and southeast.

812
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:09,159

00:34:09,159 --> 00:34:14,919
you can see there the uh northwest is at 21%, southwest

814
00:34:14,919 --> 00:34:16,480
24%,

815
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:17,399
uh

816
00:34:17,399 --> 00:34:19,159
northeast. Our

817
00:34:19,159 --> 00:34:20,639
busiest uh

818
00:34:20,639 --> 00:34:23,040
parts of the city are in the southeast.

819
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,560
Um we ran 48 calls in Lampasas County,

820
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,240
which is about 2 and 1/2% and we ran

821
00:34:28,240 --> 00:34:32,560
three calls in Burnet County this year.

822
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:33,480
Uh

823
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:34,840
training and professional development

824
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,560
this year we've

825
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,960
had currently have six members enrolled

826
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,280

two members attend the Fire Marshals

831
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,280
Conference. Uh we have four members that

832
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:53,919
uh

833
00:34:53,919 --> 00:34:56,080
obtained swift water rescue technician

834
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,040

835
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,240
College which almost brings our

00:35:00,240 --> 00:35:02,280
department up to 100% swift water

837
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,280
certified.

838
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,160
Uh we have one member that attended boat

839
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:07,760
operations with the Texas Parks and

840
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,400

841
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,240
And 100% of our department obtained

842
00:35:11,240 --> 00:35:13,000
wildland firefighting certifications

843
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,160
this year.

844
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,760
And one member just obtained his fire

845
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,280
and life safety educator certification.

846
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,200
Um in addition to that we've logged two

847
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,080
over 2,030 additional training hours for

848
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,750
all full-time personnel.

849
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,400
This year we were able to replace a

850
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,760
outdated SCBA fill station. We thank you

851
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,920
very much for that. Uh

852
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,040
I've got it on order. We were able to

853
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,200
purchase a huge rescue raft to aid in

854
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,080
swift water rescue incidents. Um the

855
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:43,720
hydrant maintenance program is fully

856
00:35:43,720 --> 00:35:46,120
operational. What that is is we have

857
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,080
touched We're at about 90% of the fire

858
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:50,640
hydrants in the city have been touched

859
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,160
by our guys this year. They've been

860
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,600
flowed, they've been greased. Um a lot

861
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,320
of them have been painted. Uh

862
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,800
we ran out of paint but for next budget

863
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:01,720
year we'll be right back on it but

864
00:36:01,720 --> 00:36:03,720
um that just assures us that those fire

865
00:36:03,720 --> 00:36:05,080
hydrants are going to work when we need

866
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:06,760
them and it gives y'all peace of mind

867
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,960
knowing that we've done it.

868
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,160
Uh

869
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,320
we were able to promote an assistant

870
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,400
chief internally this year. Uh

871
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:16,720
we

872
00:36:16,720 --> 00:36:18,160
started an automatic aid agreement with

873
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:19,880
Lampasas Volunteer Fire Department which

874
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,000
allows them as soon as we're toned to a

875
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,920
house fire they automatically get toned

876
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:25,600
so that we're not waiting

877
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,560
for additional personnel. Um same goes

878
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,240
for them. We We're going to send

879
00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:33,200
somebody to help them.

880
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:34,720
And we've had two members this year

881
00:36:34,720 --> 00:36:35,960
achieve master firefighter

882
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,560
certification.

883
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,480
That is a picture of the Airfield

884
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:41,920
station that

885
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,800
y'all allowed us to purchase.

886
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:44,560
Um

887
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,280
hopefully it'll be in soon.

888
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,920
And that is the rescue raft that we

889
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,150
were able to obtain.

890
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:54,360
Um some of the challenges that we're

891
00:36:54,360 --> 00:37:00,920
facing right now our overtime budget is pretty extensive because of our our

892
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,920
minimum staffing.

893
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,680
is four. Anytime

894
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:09,160
somebody takes off, we have to fill that seat.

895
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:10,960
We have state mandated laws that require

896
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,880
us to have a certain amount of staffing.

897
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,080
Um

898
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,600
our apparatus

899
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,720
our ladder truck is 25 years old, our

900
00:37:18,720 --> 00:37:21,080
brush truck is 22 years old, and they've

901
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:22,520
reached their end of service life by

902
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,960
national standards. We've also got two

903
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,600
staff vehicles that are at the end of

904
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,720
their service life.

905
00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:30,400
Uh facilities

906
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,560
we have some station upgrades needed for

907
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,640
growth and safety improvements. And then

908
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:36,760
uh

909
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,680
we have a continued need for specialized

910
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,920
rescue and leadership training.

911
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,880
Uh goals for '26 '27 uh

912
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,920
again like last year I'd like to try and

913
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:48,960
seek funding for a swift water rescue

914
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,120
boat. Uh we were very fortunate this

915
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,040
year we didn't have as many

916
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,880
flood calls as we did the year prior.

917
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:56,920
Um

918
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:58,360
we're going to continue community risk

919
00:37:58,360 --> 00:37:59,880
reduction programs in schools and

920
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:01,720
neighborhood. The fire marshal is doing

921
00:38:01,720 --> 00:38:03,600
a great job with that.

922
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:04,400
Uh

923
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,280
replace aging apparatus and upgrade

924
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,680
firefighting equipment. Um

925
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,480
that's kind of at the top of the list

926
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:11,520
and

927
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,360
extra expand training partnerships with

928
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:15,760
surrounding departments. We're currently

929
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,760
working on that where we can utilize

930
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,680
some of the

931
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,760
fire training facilities in our

932
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,040
neighborhood

933
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:28,230
at neighboring departments.

934
00:38:28,240 --> 00:38:29,960
That's it. Do you have any questions for

935
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,990
me?

936
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,080
» All right. One question on the swift

937
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,480
water rescue boat. Uh

938
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,880
SCAG or SCRA, do they offer any kind of

939
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,200
grant, any assistance to help us obtain

940
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:42,720
that?

941
00:38:42,720 --> 00:38:44,240
>> There are grants out there and we have

942
00:38:44,240 --> 00:38:45,920
applied for a couple of the grants and

943
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:47,520
were unsuccessful.

944
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,400
Uh

945
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:54,360
boats aren't a top priority on a grant

946
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,160
for a lot of grant people that that give

947
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:56,800
the grants.

948
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,520
>> Is there a life on a boat as well as far

949
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,600
as a national standard that you know 10

950
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,400
year, 15 year

951
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,280
Yeah, or is it

952
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,760
the the the bit the actual equipment as

953
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,360
long as it's held up to standard?

954
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,560
>> On a boat as long as it's held up to

955
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,440
standards uh

956
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:14,760
you know, they don't get used near as

957
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,120
often as fire trucks.

958
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,840
So, they tend to last a lot longer.

959
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,520
>> Couple of things. Um you had mentioned

960
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,240
overtime for staff. Is that

961
00:39:26,240 --> 00:39:28,120
Are you Are you saying that you need

962
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:29,800
more people to kind of bring down the

963
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,920
overtime or what is that?

964
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,640
>> Yes. So, right now we have a minimum of

965
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,800
four um that we have to keep. Uh state

966
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,560
law requires us to have a two in two out

967
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,280
rule, which means if two people's in a

968
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,960
house, two people have to be outside.

969
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:44,760
Um so

970
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:46,080
uh

971
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,520
in order to maintain that, we have to

972
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,040
have full man staffing on the engine. Uh

973
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,200
if somebody takes off vacation or calls

974
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,800
in sick or is out on a an extended leave

975
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,200
uh for injury, we try to fill that

976
00:39:58,200 --> 00:39:59,920
position with a part-timer.

977
00:39:59,920 --> 00:40:01,840
Um unfortunately, all those part-timers

978
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,720
have full-time jobs somewhere else. They

979
00:40:03,720 --> 00:40:05,040
work at another fire department

980
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:06,200
somewhere.

981
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:12,320
And so, trying to get them to fill those slots is you know, we do our best,

982
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,520
but if we can't, we have to fill it with

983
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:15,920
a full-time

984
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,240
uh personnel.

985
00:40:17,240 --> 00:40:19,920
>> Uh did we do that at one time as

986
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:21,760
volunteer

987
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,640
firefighters?

988
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,160
>> So, since I've I've

989
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,160
came on board here, um they were in the

990
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,880
middle of a separation when I got here.

991
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:32,240
Uh so, now there's two separate

992
00:40:32,240 --> 00:40:35,120
entities. So, we share the same house,

993
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:36,880
but we're two separate entities.

994
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,590
>> Okay.

995
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:40,760
What did you spend last year in

996
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,440
overtime?

997
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,040
>> Last year was 170

998
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:46,760
2,000.

999
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,200
And this year we're at 100

1000
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,160
We're at 180

1001
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,240
>> So, you're asking for

1002
00:40:55,240 --> 00:40:57,280
saying that you need one additional

1003
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:58,960
person per shift. Is that what you're

1004
00:40:58,960 --> 00:40:59,320
saying?

1005
00:40:59,320 --> 00:40:59,960
>> Yes.

1006
00:40:59,960 --> 00:41:02,480
>> What would that cost?

1007
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,680
>> Um base salary

1008
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,000
roughly 55,000 a year. That's a little

1009
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,400
high plus benefits. So, you're looking

1010
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,120
at 75,000 a year.

1011
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,520
Um times three plus you'll still have

1012
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,520
overtime.

1013
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,400
It's inherent in the schedule that they

1014
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,360
work. They'll they'll receive overtime

1015
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:22,040
hours for each

1016
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,960
>> You're still back up to 230, 240.

1017
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,400
>> Well, it'll decrease your actual

1018
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,560
overtime line item, but it'll increase

1019
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:34,110
your So, it's

1020
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:34,480
» Okay.

1021
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,400
>> I could probably reduce the overtime

1022
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,000
by about um with what we're on track

1023
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:44,200
this year, probably about 80,000.

1024
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:45,640
>> You'd reduce it by 80,000.

1025
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:47,640
>> I could probably come close to reducing

1026
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:48,480
it by 80,000.

1027
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:49,760
>> Three full-time positions

1028
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,160
>> Three.

1029
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,440
We have We have three shifts.

1030
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,160
>> Three full-time positions would reduce

1031
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:57,360
it by 80,000.

1032
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,560
>> About 80,000 of the overtime budget.

1033
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,680
>> But it will increase your personnel

1034
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:02,520
costs

1035
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,200
>> Overtime by 225.

1036
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:08,710
>> 225.

1037
00:42:08,720 --> 00:42:10,200
» I have a question about the ladder

1038
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:11,920
truck. Because I know I have had it

1039
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,760
restored and then we decided to try to

1040
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,040
look at any ladder truck that was at the

1041
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:16,040
end of the ladder

1042
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:16,800
or

1043
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,840
>> We talked about it.

1044
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,760
It's It's been discussed.

1045
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,800
You know, 2 years ago.

1046
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,920
And then we actually specked one out.

1047
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,480
And got a price 2 a year and a half ago.

1048
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:32,120
It was 2. Right at 2.3. That same ladder

1049
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,720
truck, I just spoke with them last week.

1050
00:42:34,720 --> 00:42:40,510
That same ladder truck is 2.7 now.

1051
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,000
» How really is a super ladder truck?

1052
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,360
>> 6 to 10 6 to 10% a year is what they

1053
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:48,160
typically go up.

1054
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:49,480
Um

1055
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:50,520
>> What

1056
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,600
If we got a new ladder truck, what would

1057
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:53,920
we do with the

1058
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:55,640
current ladder truck?

1059
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,800
>> My recommendation would be to keep that

1060
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,360
ladder truck as a reserve.

1061
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,120
Um it's paid for.

1062
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,080
Um keep it as a reserve. Uh it would

1063
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,480
lower our ISO rating by having a reserve

1064
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:09,680
ladder.

1065
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:10,800
Um

1066
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,000
and

1067
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:13,720
the engine that we currently have in

1068
00:43:13,720 --> 00:43:16,000
reserve, the 2011,

1069
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,160
uh

1070
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,000
I cringe every time they drive it out of

1071
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,720
the station because something breaks on

1072
00:43:20,720 --> 00:43:21,440
it.

1073
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,200
Um the ladder truck is more reliable

1074
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,320
than the 2011 engine we have, and we

1075
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,760
have to have a reserve. Um

1076
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,120
Our engine Our brand new engine was out

1077
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,560
of service for about a month and a half

1078
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:33,520
uh

1079
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:37,640
this year due to It went in for a PM.

1080
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:39,280
While it was in the shop, they messed it

1081
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,720
up. And they ended up having to send it

1082
00:43:41,720 --> 00:43:44,200
to San Antonio to get it repaired on

1083
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,440
their dime. Um but it was a month and a

1084
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,720
half before we got it back. We were

1085
00:43:48,720 --> 00:43:50,680
in the Luckily, the ladder truck was

1086
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:52,280
here. We had it. We were in the ladder

1087
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,560
truck for the majority of that month and a

1088
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:55,080
half.

1089
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,240
>> So, just out of curiosity, let's say

1090
00:43:58,240 --> 00:44:00,080
you ended up having to sell the ladder

1091
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,120
truck. The old engine is like

1092
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:03,360
>> Mhm.

1093
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:04,640
>> Um and

1094
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,600
that same a happened. Would they have to

1095
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,640
provide some kind of a replacement

1096
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,360
vehicle while they're fixing it if they

1097
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:11,640
want to screw it up?

1098
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:15,560
>> No, they're not obligated to.

1099
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,840
Unfortunately, it's, you know,

1100
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,880
Now, there is a shop in Killeen that uh

1101
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,440
that does repairs, um which is Siddons

1102
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,280
Martin, which is who we sent the new

1103
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,280
ladder truck with because they had a

1104
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:31,320
shop in Killeen, a very uh

1105
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,520
impressive shop in Killeen.

1106
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,200
Um

1107
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,680
they do have a loaner program.

1108
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,640
But, currently, the

1109
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,920
we have a

1110
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:43,960
we bought our truck through Metro, and

1111
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:45,840
they do not have a loaner program.

1112
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,600
>> What what would be a good estimate and

1113
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,600
just I know it's hard to say

1114
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,520
uh the percentage of time that you use

1115
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,920
the ladder truck on on these calls here?

1116
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,400
>> So, good question. Um I would use it on

1117
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,200
every call, uh on every fire call if we

1118
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:03,720
could. We just don't have the personnel

1119
00:45:03,720 --> 00:45:06,800
to do it. If I was able to hire an

1120
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,360
additional person per shift, that would

1121
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,720
be five per shift, I would put three on

1122
00:45:11,720 --> 00:45:13,520
an engine and three on a ladder truck,

1123
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:15,840
which would guarantee that that ladder

1124
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:17,720
truck was going to show up to a house

1125
00:45:17,720 --> 00:45:20,200
fire every time.

1126
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,000
Um right now, we're just running one

1127
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,600
engine out of that station. Uh

1128
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:26,680
if we get a house fire,

1129
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:30,160
we rely on personnel coming back

1130
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:31,680
to get the ladder truck to bring to the

1131
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,320
call.

1132
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,200
>> So, you currently have five on a shift?

1133
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,120
>> Four.

1134
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:41,440
>> What what Yeah, what if one How would you put three and three on

1135
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:42,840
>> I would put three and two.

1136
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:43,360
>> Okay.

1137
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:44,840
>> So, three on an engine, which would be

1138
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:46,360
the primary response because it's a

1139
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,120
smaller vehicle, less maintenance than

1140
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:50,760
the ladder truck. I would put two on the

1141
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:52,440
ladder truck, guaranteeing that ladder

1142
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:53,320
truck.

1143
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,520
And it also helps with the overlapping

1144
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,520
calls. If that engine is on a a call and

1145
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:00,240
they get toned out for another one, the

1146
00:46:00,240 --> 00:46:03,080
ladder would respond imme- immediately.

1147
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:04,440
Right now

1148
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,160
we may or may not be able to respond

1149
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,360
depending on the call we're on.

1150
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,600
It would also a fifth person would also

1151
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,800
allow if somebody took off we wouldn't

1152
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:15,680
it wouldn't require overtime. We would

1153
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:17,160
try and get a part-timer to fill that

1154
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,960
position. If we couldn't then we would

1155
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:23,590
run with four.

1156
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,240
» And so the

1157
00:46:25,240 --> 00:46:27,040
things that you were going through chief

1158
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,600
talking north of 3 million three and a

1159
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:30,160
half

1160
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:31,960
>> Something like that. Everything that you

1161
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:34,600
need. What's the steps to

1162
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:36,640
What's the most important? What's your

1163
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,200
plan on trying to

1164
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:41,190
fill these needs?

1165
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:42,880
» Good question.

1166
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:44,320
We need money.

1167
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,320
>> I get that but I mean what's the

1168
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,080
strategic plan to try to do that?

1169
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,400
>> I had the strategic plan on paper

1170
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,560
starting with the ladder truck.

1171
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:53,680
Um

1172
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,160
but that was for

1173
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,880
ordering it in 2025.

1174
00:46:58,880 --> 00:46:59,680
Uh

1175
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,040
so we moved it to 2026 and now it will

1176
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,320
move to 2027 and it will keep moving

1177
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,760
out. Everything

1178
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:08,360
in front of it is going to continue to

1179
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:12,080
move out as well. But at some point

1180
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:13,840
the equipment is going to fail.

1181
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:14,520
>> Right.

1182
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:16,600
>> Um we have a brush truck that you know

1183
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:22,800
I'm willing now to switch the brush truck and the ladder truck because the brush

1184
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:26,560
truck is giving us such fits. We're piecing it together.

1185
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:28,200
>> How much does a brush truck

1186
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,960
>> About 350,000.

1187
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:31,640
>> It's a lot more cost.

1188
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:33,480
>> Substantially cheaper than a ladder

1189
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:34,720
truck.

1190
00:47:34,720 --> 00:47:37,080
>> And used a lot more often with the fires

1191
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:37,320
that we

1192
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,360
>> With the staffing that we have currently

1193
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,000
yes ma'am. It it's used a lot more

1194
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:43,920
frequent than the ladder truck is.

1195
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,680
>> I may have missed it chief but for

1196
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,120
transparency how many structure fires in

1197
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:51,520
the city have we had this last year?

1198
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:53,240
>> I do not have that report in front of me

1199
00:47:53,240 --> 00:47:54,800
but I can get it to you and I will email

1200
00:47:54,800 --> 00:48:01,590
it to the council.

1201
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,830
Any other questions?

1202
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:05,760
» Thank you, Chief.

1203
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:15,990
>> Thank you all.

1204
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,600
» 3.2, upcoming special events meetings,

1205
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,120
possible discussion by council.

1206
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,880
August 25th, 2026

1207
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,240
at 5:30 we have our charter review

1208
00:48:26,240 --> 00:48:28,240
committee.

1209
00:48:28,240 --> 00:48:30,920
September the 3rd, 2026 at 6:00 p.m.

1210
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,240
planning and zoning.

1211
00:48:33,240 --> 00:48:37,480
September the 14th, 2026 at 5:30

1212
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,920
will be back in the city hall chamber.

1213
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,670
Council.

1214
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:47,240
4.1, discussion, possible action

1215
00:48:47,240 --> 00:48:48,640
regarding the first reading of an

1216
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:50,560
ordinance amending Land Passes Code of

1217
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:51,760
Ordinances,

1218
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,440
ordinance number 17-62

1219
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,200
regarding

1220
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,600
zoning regulations pertaining to smoke

1221
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,200
and tobacco shops.

1222
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:01,640
>> Good evening, Mayor and Council. This

1223
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:03,720
item was discussed during workshop of

1224
00:49:03,720 --> 00:49:06,800
the August 10th meeting to change the

1225
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,040
ordinance the existing ordinance from

1226
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:19,950
300 ft to 1,000 ft.

1227
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:22,560
» I still think it's over policing by the

1228
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:27,310
government on private business, but

1229
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:28,800
That's just my thought.

1230
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:30,120
>> I agree with that. It's just an

1231
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:33,080
ineffective use of of local government.

1232
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,400
This is a parental control parental

1233
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,200
responsibility issue, and it's also

1234
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:40,480
inconsistent with other

1235
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,920
uh distances for the liquor store, for

1236
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:46,080
instance, that is at 300 ft. So, I'm I'm

1237
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:48,160
very much opposed to this change.

1238
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,840
>> And y'all know where I stand on it.

1239
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:52,840
I'm for it

1240
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,270
because

1241
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,400
for all the reasons that I've

1242
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:58,680
said and yes, I know you don't think

1243
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:00,200
it's a problem thing,

1244
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:06,390
but if you have any idea as to what a

1245
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,080
for lack of a better word, epidemic it

1246
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,520
is at the high school level,

1247
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:12,200
you know, maybe you'll feel different,

1248
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:12,640
but

1249
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,680
>> No, I don't because signage doesn't do

1250
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:18,630
it.

1251
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:20,640
» No, I mean, anything can finish you if

1252
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:22,920
they want to do. I mean, realistically,

1253
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:23,800
if you want to do something, you're

1254
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:24,960
going to you're going to find a way to

1255
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:25,720
do it.

1256
00:50:25,720 --> 00:50:28,800
But, I just feel like

1257
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,240
I personally don't want to see that in

1258
00:50:31,240 --> 00:50:33,240
our town that close to our schools.

1259
00:50:33,240 --> 00:50:34,760
That's my own opinion.

1260
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:36,600
>> That's exactly what a

1261
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,920
overstepping of a government entity is

1262
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:40,520
doing. You're saying personally you just

1263
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:41,720
don't want to see that.

1264
00:50:41,720 --> 00:50:43,840
>> Well, I feel like I feel like part of

1265
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:48,080
our responsibility as city councils is

1266
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:51,080
to take what the community believes that

1267
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,440
we want the city to be,

1268
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:55,600
and I don't think it's overstepping.

1269
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,440
Because I've had and it's not just me,

1270
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,360
I've had many people

1271
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:03,280
concerned about it. They don't want to see that that close

1272
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:03,840
to the school.

1273
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:06,160
>> Where are they?

1274
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:08,520
>> What do you mean, where are they?

1275
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:10,160
>> Right here. These people.

1276
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,440
I'm sitting right here.

1277
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,760
On the front row with the on his phone.

1278
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,080
>> Well, I believe that this is basically a

1279
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,120
misuse of local government

1280
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:22,280
function.

1281
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:25,840
It's a issue for children's parents.

1282
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,880
It's an issue for uh

1283
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:31,360
those who might be addicted to some

1284
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:32,640
substance.

1285
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:33,400
The

1286
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:36,520
generally, the smoke shop ordinance

1287
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:40,040
talks about more than just vaping.

1288
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,600
It is much more broad-based, and it's an

1289
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:44,320
over This is just an overreach. It's

1290
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:46,360
just not necessary, and it's really not

1291
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:48,320
effective.

1292
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:53,190
>> Should we get rid of the 300 ft?

1293
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,080
» I mean, I don't think it really

1294
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:56,880
I don't think like restricting

1295
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:59,120
advertising on there really does much

1296
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,400
either way, but you know, it's the third

1297
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:05,350
time that it's come up.

1298
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:06,680
I just don't know why we keep on talking

1299
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:07,880
about it.

1300
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:11,080
I mean, 300 ft is fine, but

1301
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:11,400
>> It's really

1302
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:12,920
>> Well, that's where it's that's cuz it

1303
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,080
was approved before

1304
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,240
this council. Like literally right

1305
00:52:17,240 --> 00:52:19,160
before this council.

1306
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:20,640
And then we have a different council

1307
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:22,560
that's brought back up.

1308
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:24,920
>> I was just curious if 300 ft is over

1309
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,240
stepping.

1310
00:52:27,240 --> 00:52:32,040
>> I mean, cuz just as a example,

1311
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,800
we had a shop in town right next to

1312
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:36,200
Storms

1313
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,640
put up signs.

1314
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:40,920
How soon did everybody

1315
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:44,560
get a text, phone call saying,

1316
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:47,280
"I thought we weren't doing this."

1317
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:48,760
>> They're all city

1318
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:50,240
>> Right. So,

1319
00:52:50,240 --> 00:52:52,920
if you're looking for a reason not to,

1320
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:55,000
that's the reason.

1321
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,240
At least with me. I had several people

1322
00:52:57,240 --> 00:52:59,520
text and say, "No, we already have them

1323
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:00,640
in town."

1324
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:02,280
That's another point.

1325
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:04,440
We already have them in here.

1326
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:06,480
So, it's just a personal preference.

1327
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:09,160
Either you want to encourage more smoke

1328
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:10,320
shops,

1329
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:13,040
and as you know, Eric, and as you know,

1330
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:14,560
not everything they sell out of there is

1331
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:16,640
legal.

1332
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:19,280
They're waiting for the law to catch up,

1333
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,520
so it's proprietary illegal, but until

1334
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:24,320
that happens, they're going to continue

1335
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,040
selling them. And they don't care who

1336
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:27,160
they sell it to.

1337
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,400
>> But, I guess the uh

1338
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:31,200
the spirit and the intent behind that

1339
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:33,240
kind of ordinance would be to keep it

1340
00:53:33,240 --> 00:53:34,760
out of hands of like kids. Is that what

1341
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:35,880
we're saying?

1342
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:37,600
>> I don't like marijuana would be a store

1343
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,840
of the law, but we know people who have

1344
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:42,160
>> What are we talking about? I mean, I'm

1345
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,280
simply asking is this about kids like

1346
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,080
Councilwoman McKinney's talking about

1347
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:47,280
not having in the high school or is it

1348
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:49,360
trying to regulate morality for adults?

1349
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:50,800
>> I don't I'm not regulating morality. I'm

1350
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:54,320
saying access to illegal substances.

1351
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:54,880
>> But I mean, you know,

1352
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:56,360
>> Alcohol's legal.

1353
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:57,680
>> The question is whether this is the

1354
00:53:57,680 --> 00:53:59,840
right way to attack that issue.

1355
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:01,600
And the I don't think this is.

1356
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:02,760
>> I just don't think it's a matter of

1357
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,080
encouraging versus attack.

1358
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,120
Like we're encouraging versus attack.

1359
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:09,360
Everyone has their opinion. We've gone

1360
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:12,160
back and forth. So, we can vote and then

1361
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,640
just move on and then we'll be set. So,

1362
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:18,320
it's however everybody votes and then we

1363
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:19,760
can just live with it and move on.

1364
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:21,840
That's how I look. I mean, I didn't

1365
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:23,640
>> And and that was part of that was part

1366
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:26,520
of my issue with it is because before

1367
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:27,760
Officer Patrick

1368
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,040
for Councilwoman Walsh came on,

1369
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,440
it was passed and then Councilwoman

1370
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:33,560
Walsh came along and it was swung the

1371
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:36,240
other way and it was denied. So, it just

1372
00:54:36,240 --> 00:54:37,840
>> They didn't put it on the agenda.

1373
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:39,400
>> I just didn't feel like we had a chance

1374
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:40,800
to put it on.

1375
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:42,200
Which is why I wanted to bring this back

1376
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,520
and make sure that we knew what

1377
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:46,560
the council felt

1378
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:47,400
was best.

1379
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:48,600
>> I don't know how I got back on that

1380
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:50,480
second time. I got on council. I didn't

1381
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:52,160
ask for it to be on there. I just was

1382
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:53,680
here.

1383
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:55,160
But also, I think Chief Cummings had

1384
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:57,120
never been a few times that the PD has

1385
00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:58,640
stepped in when there's been issues with

1386
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:00,920
local shops if there was a question of

1387
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:02,400
if there was illegal substances being

1388
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,920
sold out of there where local PD went in

1389
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:06,640
to to make sure that shops were in

1390
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:07,680
compliance.

1391
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:09,480
>> Sure, a few times over the half of the

1392
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:11,320
year time

1393
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:13,600
good in compliance or something.

1394
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:15,480
We asked for information and concern. I

1395
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:17,000
mean, the law has changed up and down

1396
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:18,440
over the last three or four months using

1397
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:19,600
synthetic marijuana.

1398
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:21,200
But in coordination with the county

1399
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:22,760
attorney's office, we talked to the shop

1400
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:23,880
owners where we actually made the

1401
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,000
purchases there. You take all this into

1402
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:26,920
the lab.

1403
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:27,520
Uh

1404
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:28,920
you can come back and see if there's

1405
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:29,680
anything there.

1406
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:31,480
It used to be done and not be done. We

1407
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:32,600
always coordinated with the county

1408
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:34,800
attorney's office.

1409
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:36,440
>> Yes, sir. Uh

1410
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:38,920
and that's more in line with the duties

1411
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:40,520
of law enforcement though is is

1412
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:41,800
regulating the laws of the state of

1413
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:45,790
Texas, right?

1414
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:47,440
» I mean I get both of y'all's sides on

1415
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,520
this. I'm trying to figure out

1416
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:51,520
what I think, but

1417
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:53,760
>> It'd be different if there was no no

1418
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:54,600
smoke shops.

1419
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,120
>> overstepping. Is 300 ft overstepping it?

1420
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,680
Do we need to do away with that as well?

1421
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:00,880
>> So, what does it What does it say

1422
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:02,800
statewide?

1423
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,640
>> Uh statewide is for signage only and

1424
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:07,920
it's 1,000 ft within a school.

1425
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:09,240
>> I mean I guess going along with my

1426
00:56:09,240 --> 00:56:11,040
mentality then it'd be

1427
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:13,240
300 be too much too, but this is going

1428
00:56:13,240 --> 00:56:15,480
back to an ex-smoker. I think vapes are

1429
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:18,480
real lame, too. I just

1430
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:21,240
I mean I'm just looking at it as being I

1431
00:56:21,240 --> 00:56:22,760
just don't like the government meddling

1432
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:26,200
with private business. I mean that's it. I'm against Clearly I don't

1433
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:27,720
want kids having that.

1434
00:56:27,720 --> 00:56:28,880
>> Well, yeah, and that's part of the

1435
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:31,040
problem, too, is because the the vapes

1436
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:32,800
that they get hold of

1437
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:35,000
are felony level vapes.

1438
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:38,400
And so, advertising it, making it more

1439
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:39,520
um

1440
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:41,400
socially acceptable

1441
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:43,080
to a kid's head,

1442
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:44,960
that's where That's where I'm at.

1443
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:46,680
>> But they're not I don't know if if signs

1444
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:48,720
in town are doing that as much as like

1445
00:56:48,720 --> 00:56:51,120
these things. The advertising is

1446
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:53,120
>> Well, it's kind of both. I mean it

1447
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,320
>> How does that relate to the distance of

1448
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:56,880
a building to another building?

1449
00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:58,160
>> to the distance of the building? It's

1450
00:56:58,160 --> 00:56:59,640
like kids could just walk right by and

1451
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:02,040
see it and drive by it every single

1452
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:02,960
solitary vape

1453
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:06,120
>> Well, we also have uh liquor stores that

1454
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:09,520
have uh advertising that is

1455
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:11,640
available. So, it's And that one is

1456
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:12,680
truly huge.

1457
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:15,200
>> But the liquor But the kids aren't

1458
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:18,680
Liquor is not as much of an issue at a

1459
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:20,400
high school campus as

1460
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:20,680
>> What?

1461
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:21,400
>> the vapes.

1462
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:22,400
>> What are you talking about?

1463
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:25,760
>> Not as much. It is, but not as much.

1464
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:27,760
They're not doing it. It's just They're

1465
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:28,160
not

1466
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:29,280
>> I don't know. I've been in high school

1467
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:31,560
for since almost been it

1468
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:33,240
Like

1469
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:35,280
And I mean and also like again like

1470
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:36,920
signage in town

1471
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:39,080
compared to what's online and the phones

1472
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,600
and on TV like it's

1473
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:42,480
I don't know.

1474
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:43,160
I'm just curious.

1475
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:47,960
>> agree with it. I just very much against the government

1476
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:49,720
stepping in private business.

1477
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:54,000
>> Is this only for smoke shops because

1478
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:55,960
gas stations sell

1479
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:59,200
these things as well, I mean, right?

1480
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,720
>> It's a specific percentage of sales that

1481
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,760
are spent on vapes specifically.

1482
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:05,280
>> Okay.

1483
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:06,320
>> Or tobacco.

1484
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:08,080
>> I mean, you go into Casey's and get that

1485
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:11,120
two for $6 slices, but you see ads for

1486
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:13,200
vapes as soon as you walk in.

1487
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:15,200
>> It's a percentage of the total sales.

1488
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:16,600
>> But still not we're still not getting

1489
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:18,600
rid of vapes within the even within the

1490
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:25,510
300 ft rule.

1491
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:27,600
» I guess I'd Ed would like to see us call

1492
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:29,480
the question.

1493
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:30,280
>> I

1494
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:32,520
don't How would a vape shop advertise?

1495
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:33,680
What kind of signage would they be

1496
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:35,560
allowed to put up?

1497
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:38,440
They can't say vape or anything in their

1498
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:38,720
>> Right.

1499
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:39,440
>> name.

1500
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:43,160
>> He says it it relates to you know, it

1501
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:45,080
limits cartoon characters that would

1502
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:49,040
target kids. Like you have to be very restrictive with your

1503
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:51,640
>> of like hobbies and stuff.

1504
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:53,080
>> Right.

1505
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:54,960
>> So certain characters

1506
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:56,960
>> Yeah, they they're not allowed to use

1507
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:58,680
signage that would be appealing to

1508
00:58:58,680 --> 00:58:59,880
children.

1509
00:58:59,880 --> 00:59:01,720
within 1,000 ft of a school.

1510
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:03,720
>> But it could say such and such vape

1511
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:04,760
shop.

1512
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:11,510
Okay.

1513
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:13,280
» All right.

1514
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:14,720
Do we get a motion one way or the other

1516
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:19,040

$2,000, and then an additional $5,000 if

1644
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:34,120
we do hit those thresholds.

1645
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:35,440
One of the good things about this

1646
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:38,160
contract is that we are not going to be

1647
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:41,160
paying for any signage out of

1648
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:44,120
our pocket because there is no signage

1649
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,120
that will be going on baseball fields,

1650
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:49,400
soccer fields, uh aquatic facilities.

1651
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:50,840
It's strictly going to be based off of

1652
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:52,400
those vending machines, those coolers,

1653
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:53,800
and mini boards. So, they're going to be

1654
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:56,320
the three main products we receive.

1655
01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:57,560
Um

1656
01:04:57,560 --> 01:04:58,920
if you have any questions, I think that

1657
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:01,640
pretty much covers all of the the

1658
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:03,160
financials of it.

1659
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:06,480
>> Did y'all So, on this, who negotiated

1660
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:08,320
this? Did y'all just go to Coca-Cola or

1661
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:11,120
you Is this coming through that company in

1662
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:12,160
Iowa?

1663
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:13,800
>> It's This is a Sports Solutions

1664
01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:14,800
contract.

1665
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:16,200
>> Sports Solutions contract, what

1666
01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:17,920
percentage did they get or is there a

1667
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:18,800
tax?

1668
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:22,240
>> Anytime we receive a check

1669
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:24,560
from Coca-Cola, we are going to within

1670
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:28,320
30 days give 25% of that to

1671
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:29,680
um

1672
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:30,880
Sports Solutions.

1673
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:34,000
>> And then what how does that work with

1674
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:35,720
the um

1675
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:38,280
Little League what they what they

1676
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:39,440
do they get concession stands and

1677
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:41,360
they're taking your stocking and

1678
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:43,680
selling? Are they Are they only using

1679
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:45,120
Coca-Cola products?

1680
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:47,960
>> Yes, they will be able to receive them

1681
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:49,960
from us at cost that we receive them

1682
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:51,680
though, which is significantly below

1683
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:54,200
market value.

1684
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:55,840
>> Are they Are they going to talk to the

1685
01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:57,160
different I mean

1686
01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:58,240
they agree with that?

1687
01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:00,520
>> LCYLA was present at the Parks Board

1688
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:02,080
meeting. Their representative was the

1689
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:03,280
other night and they're in agreement

1690
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:05,640
with this.

1691
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:07,520
>> What are the locations?

1692
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:10,000
>> Um there are if you are on the very

1693
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:12,960
first page of the contract, um section F

1694
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:14,720
is going to list off all the physical

1695
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:17,440
addresses, but it is going to include

1696
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:20,920
all the sports complexes, both pools,

1697
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:22,680
um

1698
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:25,440
the golf courses on here, W and Burke

1699
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:26,200
Park.

1700
01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:28,240
>> Did the golf course or did

1701
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:30,200
they sign a contract

1702
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:32,120
last year or something or somebody?

1703
01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:33,800
>> They have a distribution agreement with

1704
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:36,760
Pepsi, but that can be

1705
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:37,880
negated

1706
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:38,240
>> Okay.

1707
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:40,000
>> for this purpose.

1708
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:40,920
>> I mean sure

1709
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:42,880
we got Pepsi in here at the golf course.

1710
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:44,040
>> No, it's a it's a Pepsi

1711
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:45,560
>> So I remember they already had a

1712
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:46,880
contract with Pepsi in there.

1713
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:48,520
>> They We had to sign a contract with

1714
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:50,400
Pepsi for them to deliver products to

1715
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:51,120
the golf course.

1716
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:52,160
>> Okay.

1717
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:54,080
And how does this this is kind of

1718
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:55,960
far-fetched and reaching, but

1719
01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:57,960
it's a question.

1720
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:00,200
We had a little water problem.

1721
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:04,440
And we got water from Red Cross or State

1722
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:07,400
of Texas and it was great value. It was

1723
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:09,000
whatever they could bring us.

1724
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:17,750
>> This is for the

1725
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:19,960
Not an not an emergency.

1726
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:21,360
This is not going to affect that either

1727
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:26,390
because

1728
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:27,720
This is not going to affect that. This

1729
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:30,240
is more based towards what we are

1730
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:32,520
selling our customers.

1731
01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:34,280
>> We give that water away, that emergency

1732
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:40,030
water.

1733
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:45,510
» Yes.

1734
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:47,720
And I and the county included Tony

1735
01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:48,240
Water.

1736
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:51,200
>> not make a difference, but these two

1737
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:53,480
distributors have competed over several

1738
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:55,120
months to get to this point that we're

1739
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:55,720
at.

1740
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:57,920
>> Yes, and so back to Councilwoman

1741
01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:00,320
Keeney's point, this has a been a

1742
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:02,080
Sportsman's Solutions contract and we've

1743
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:04,560
had Coca-Cola and Pepsi both on site and

1744
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:05,040
they have

1745
01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:08,040
>> competitively bid this back and forth

1746
01:08:08,040 --> 01:08:11,480
>> multiple months. Um if you do look at

1747
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:13,200
point number two on the very first page,

1748
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:15,280
this negotiation started on April the

1749
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:17,480
1st and so um

1750
01:08:17,480 --> 01:08:19,880
I did forget to omit the original date

1751
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:21,600
on this beverage agreement of April 1st,

1752
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:23,680
2026. That will just move to the date

1753
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:26,240
that we execute the contract.

1754
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:28,480
>> So um

1755
01:08:28,480 --> 01:08:29,400
just to

1756
01:08:29,400 --> 01:08:31,960
make sure I understand the numbers here.

1757
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:36,400
Annually, we get $8,000 in cash, $4,000

1758
01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:39,359
in merchandise, whatever that may be,

1759
01:08:39,359 --> 01:08:43,640
and then 60 cents per $4 purchase, but

1760
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:46,200
we pay 15 cents of that out to

1761
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:47,000
Sportsman's Solutions.

1762
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:49,799
>> Correct. Also, for every case of water

1763
01:08:49,799 --> 01:08:51,720
that we purchase, for example, the fire

1764
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:53,960
department, the police department,

1765
01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:56,640
um public works, they tend to order

1766
01:08:56,640 --> 01:08:59,160
their drinks by the their water by the

1767
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:02,040
pallet for their for their guys out in

1768
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:04,520
the field and so we would receive $5

1769
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:06,799
back on every single one of those cases

1770
01:09:06,799 --> 01:09:09,839
on that pallet as well.

1771
01:09:09,839 --> 01:09:10,520
>> Okay.

1772
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:12,560
>> Even if the city is consuming that

1773
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:15,080
instead of reselling it.

1774
01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:17,799
>> Okay, so

1775
01:09:17,799 --> 01:09:19,680
in that situation

1776
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:21,960
that department would have to buy from

1777
01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:23,000
Coca-Cola.

1778
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:25,720
>> Correct, but it's going to be at a

1779
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:28,279
below market cost from what we're even

1780
01:09:28,279 --> 01:09:29,920
purchasing from Walmart or Sam's Club

1781
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:31,680
right now because we're receiving it as

1782
01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:34,000
a essentially as a vendor to resell it

1783
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:36,120
at the market value. And those numbers

1784
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:37,960
are in one of the appendices in the

1785
01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:41,430
contract as well.

1786
01:09:41,440 --> 01:09:43,200
» On exhibit A and B, it's not a dumb

1787
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:44,799
question, but when you're looking at the

1788
01:09:44,799 --> 01:09:46,759
product list, what what is this PET

1789
01:09:46,759 --> 01:09:49,789
stand for?

1790
01:09:49,799 --> 01:09:51,120
» I didn't hear. What did you say?

1791
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:53,120
>> PET on the exhibits. What does it stand

1792
01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:53,600
for?

1793
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:55,600
>> Hit.

1794
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:57,120
>> What does it stand for though?

1795
01:09:57,120 --> 01:10:00,840
>> That is an excellent question.

1796
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:02,960
>> All right, and another question.

1797
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:04,400
>> a it's a bottle, not a can.

1798
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:04,680
>> Okay.

1799
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:05,840
>> It's a it's a plastic bottle.

1800
01:10:05,840 --> 01:10:08,600
>> Okay, so the

1801
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:10,280
So is that right that bottle of water is

1802
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:12,280
three bucks in the in the vending

1803
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:12,480
machine?

1804
01:10:12,480 --> 01:10:13,880
>> That's going to be from vending.

1805
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:14,480
>> From what?

1806
01:10:14,480 --> 01:10:16,640
>> From vending. We don't have to if we're

1807
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:18,920
at the aquatics facility, we don't have

1808
01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:22,120
to sell it at $3, but they they service

1809
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:24,040
those vending machines. We don't service

1810
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:27,920
those and so they will set the cost on

1811
01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:30,320
those and that's set out uh on that

1812
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:33,160
exhibit A year one through two

1813
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:34,880
three and four year five.

1814
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:36,960
>> And so in five years, a bottle of water

1815
01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:38,240
costs $3.50?

1816
01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:40,080
>> Inflation, I mean.

1817
01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:41,280
>> That's brutal.

1818
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:42,360
Spring water.

1819
01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:45,400
>> And also the swimming pools, the Johanna

1820
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:47,880
Springs and Hancock are

1821
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:50,000
the Hancock Springs is listed, but not

1822
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:51,400
Hancock.

1823
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:52,720
>> Um

1824
01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:56,560
the issue with one of the sliding glass

1825
01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:59,630
door

1826
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:03,480
machines at Han Hancock is the

1827
01:11:03,480 --> 01:11:05,400
concession stand is way too small. You

1828
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:07,400
can barely sit two people in there right

1829
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:10,840
now and it's really cramped. And so

1830
01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:12,560
they're going to put a vending machine

1831
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:15,240
on the external of the building there.

1832
01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:16,920
Um but there will not be one of the

1833
01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:18,640
sliding glass coolers there because

1834
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:20,920
there's physically not enough space.

1835
01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:22,320
>> And that space this house would be the

1836
01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:23,720
same inside?

1837
01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:25,520
>> Correct.

1838
01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:26,800
>> Everywhere they want to put a vending

1839
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:28,760
machine and there's not currently

1840
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:31,000
electricity, who's responsible?

1841
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:33,320
>> We have We went around with the company

1842
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:35,320
and everywhere that we want to put a

1843
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:37,560
vending machine there's electricity

1844
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:40,080
except for one location um and this is

1845
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:42,080
the 580 Sports Complex where we want to

1846
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:44,840
put the vending machine and there is a

1847
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:47,520
uh spot we can take electricity from

1848
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:49,920
just like from a floodlight like 2 ft

1849
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:51,480
above where the machine would be.

1850
01:11:51,480 --> 01:11:53,320
>> So it would only work when the lights

1851
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:55,200
are on?

1852
01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:56,040
>> No,

1853
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:57,280
it would work all the time.

1854
01:11:57,280 --> 01:11:58,840
>> I'm serious.

1855
01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:00,200
>> It would work all the time.

1856
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:03,680
>> But if if it's city contract and I know

1857
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:05,560
this is probably already been answered

1858
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:06,520
um

1859
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:09,000
and we have a event and a lot of people

1860
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:11,600
donate things to the fire department.

1861
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:13,920
They donate Gatorade.

1862
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:15,760
They donate pallets. Is Coke going to

1863
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:18,200
have an issue with us drinking

1864
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:19,480
you know, they're we're supposed to be

1865
01:12:19,480 --> 01:12:22,320
under Coca-Cola and some citizen

1866
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:23,520
donates?

1867
01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:25,600
>> The The issue would become if we turned

1868
01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:26,760
around and tried to sell that

1869
01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:28,960
merchandise that was not Coca-Cola.

1870
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:29,320
>> Okay.

1871
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:32,280
>> Um if they donate again

1872
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:35,800
Gatorade instead of Powerade that that's

1873
01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:38,320
not it doesn't apply here. It's like it

1874
01:12:38,320 --> 01:12:39,920
would be the same if I took Gatorade

1875
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:42,360
into my office and drink it instead of

1876
01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:45,680
drinking Powerade in my office.

1877
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:47,960
>> It's only Powerade now.

1878
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:48,320
>> Body Armor.

1879
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:49,120
>> It's only Powerade.

1880
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:50,440
>> And Body Armor.

1881
01:12:50,440 --> 01:12:51,200
>> Do we

1882
01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:52,080
uh

1883
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:54,200
Do we get to this stuff on the ISD

1884
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:55,440
property?

1885
01:12:55,440 --> 01:12:57,520
Like the stadium.

1886
01:12:57,520 --> 01:13:00,880
>> The ISD is not in this. No, sir.

1887
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:02,920
>> And what

1888
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:05,560
This wasn't like naming rights for 580

1889
01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:07,120
or anything like that. It's just them

1890
01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:08,920
being It's basically having the products

1891
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:09,680
around town at all the

1892
01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:11,640
>> Correct. They don't want their name on

1893
01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:13,640
anything other than the product they're

1894
01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:15,880
selling or vending up above.

1895
01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:17,000
>> So, that's still out there.

1896
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:19,760
>> Correct. Um

1897
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:22,640
Just to kind of like put it out there, has been some interest in the

1898
01:13:22,640 --> 01:13:25,400
rodeo arena, but that's a little bit

1899
01:13:25,400 --> 01:13:26,680
more down the line. You know, it has

1900
01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:29,280
nothing to do with specifically this

1901
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:36,150
contract.

1902
01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:44,830
» All right. Do we get a motion?

1903
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:46,120
» I make a motion to approve this

01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:47,680

1908

>> Second.

1909
01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:58,240
Any other discussion? All in favor?

1910
01:13:58,240 --> 01:13:59,600
>> Aye.

1911
01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:04,390

>> Mayor and council, as reviewed during

1917
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:16,840
workshop, our fund balance policy was

1918
01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:19,600
last updated in 2013 after adoption in

1919
01:14:19,600 --> 01:14:21,160
2011.

1920
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:22,760
Um we're recommending to modify the

1921
01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:24,480
reserve balances from a percentage

1922
01:14:24,480 --> 01:14:26,440

All in favor?

executive session. Oh, I'm sorry.

1940
01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:07,240
I am so sorry.

1941
01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:12,150
Come right on up, Ms. Melissa.

1942
01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:14,000
» Good evening, Mayor and Council. Thank

1943
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:15,880
you for having me back. The purposes of

1944
01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:17,360
my

1945
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:19,120
time here this evening, I came to

1946
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:22,160
present my fiscal report fiscal budget

1947
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:24,360
for 26-27,

1948
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:26,960
but I would like to go back just a

1949
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:29,360
second and talk about the last time I

1950
01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:31,880
was here, which was for my Q3 report. I

1951
01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:33,680
had mentioned to you that we would have

1952
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:36,080
all of our Lampasas promotion budget

1953
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:39,240
allocated. And when I come for my Q4

1954
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:40,720
report

1955
01:15:40,720 --> 01:15:42,320
in a couple months,

1956
01:15:42,320 --> 01:15:46,360
I will have a proposal. It's actually not a

1957
01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:48,240
proposal. It's actually the the

1958
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:55,240
marketing campaign for the marketing funds that I agreed to use

1959
01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:57,000
by the end of this fiscal year. So,

1960
01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:59,720
which will be October or September 30th.

1961
01:15:59,720 --> 01:16:01,480
So, that is not in your packet this

1962
01:16:01,480 --> 01:16:03,480
evening, but I would like to make a

1963
01:16:03,480 --> 01:16:06,520
statement at the end of it and just read

1964
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:08,400
that to you understanding where we're

1965
01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:11,920
headed as far as tourism in Lampasas.

1966
01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:13,920
So, the key takeaway for my marketing

1967
01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:17,160
campaign that will actually go on

1968
01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:21,040
through 2027, however, it started back

1969
01:16:21,040 --> 01:16:23,320
in August, is tourism marketing isn't

1970
01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:24,640
about convincing people to visit

1971
01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:26,680
Lampasas. It's about making sure

1972
01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:28,080
Lampasas can be considered when

1973
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:30,280
travelers are deciding where to go.

1974
01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:32,040
By strategically investing hot funds

1975
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:33,800
into a long-term digital tourism

1976
01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:36,240
initiative, Visit Lampasas is building

1977
01:16:36,240 --> 01:16:38,360
sustainable marketing assets that will

1978
01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:39,960
promote the community, support local

1979
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:42,240
businesses, strengthen tourism, and

1980
01:16:42,240 --> 01:16:44,120
contribute to economic growth for years

1981
01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:45,160
to come.

1982
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:47,480
One investment creates marketing content

1983
01:16:47,480 --> 01:16:49,600
that can continue promoting Lampasas for

1984
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:51,600
years. That can That can continue

1985
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:53,680
promoting Lampasas for years. I state

1986
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:55,280
that because

1987
01:16:55,280 --> 01:16:57,720
it has been put upon me to actually

1988
01:16:57,720 --> 01:17:00,960
expand our digital marketing presence

1989
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:02,760
through the Lampasas promotion line

1990
01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:05,040
item. And I do truly believe that we are

1991
01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:07,400
doing that. We are working very closely

1992
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:09,160
with the city, very closely with the

1993
01:17:09,160 --> 01:17:12,080
EDC. I was at the EDC meeting last week

1994
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:15,000
and it came up that we need to do a

1995
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:17,280
better job at marketing Lampasas as far

1996
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:19,600
as holiday promotions. Hunting is a

1997
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:22,080
given, spring host kind of a given. We

1998
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:24,000
are looking at doing a little bit more

1999
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:26,480
marketing of our venues and actually

2000
01:17:26,480 --> 01:17:29,600
events that bring in different um

2001
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:32,280
bridal events and

2002
01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:33,720
family reunions and things of that

2003
01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:36,320
nature. We have several different venues

2004
01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:38,680
that are popping up all around the city

2005
01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:39,960
and the county

2006
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:43,800
that would bring in sales tax for retail

2007
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:46,320
and dining and then also for lodging, of

2008
01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:49,680
course, the hotel motel tax. So, stay

2009
01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:52,120
tuned. We've got a lot coming up. I'm

2010
01:17:52,120 --> 01:17:53,440
working with a lot of different

2011
01:17:53,440 --> 01:17:57,040
resources to ensure that we are actually

2012
01:17:57,040 --> 01:17:59,920
expanding our footprint properly with

2013
01:17:59,920 --> 01:18:03,320
this new marketing campaign. We actually

2014
01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:06,360
are on several different platforms

2015
01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:08,480
including Google, Google Maps, Apple

2016
01:18:08,480 --> 01:18:11,080
Maps, Bing, Bing Maps, Yelp, Trip

2017
01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:12,760
Advisor, and additional online

2018
01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:14,360
directories and tourism platforms

2019
01:18:14,360 --> 01:18:16,000
including YouTube.

2020
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:18,680
We have created three 48-second

2021
01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:20,720
commercials and then also one two and a

2022
01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:23,280
half-minute commercial and those are

2023
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:25,240
already running and we will be

2024
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:29,600
rebranding to do a Visit Lampasas um

2025
01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:32,000
brand instead of the Lampasas County

2026
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:33,400
Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center

2027
01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:34,480
brand.

2028
01:18:34,480 --> 01:18:37,800
So, Um, going back to my budget,

2029
01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:39,720
if you will notice on there my budget is

2030
01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:42,440
actually down 1722

2031
01:18:42,440 --> 01:18:45,320
for the year or for this coming year.

2032
01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:47,040
That is in a couple of different areas,

2033
01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:49,520
but I will open the floor up to any

2034
01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:51,840
questions based on the evaluation that I

2035
01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:53,400
provided

2036
01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:56,590
for this budget.

2037
01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:58,160
» It's tough

2038
01:18:58,160 --> 01:19:01,600
that you don't have a breakdown about

2039
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:04,280
this marketing and promotional expenses

2040
01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:06,800
and more information about it. A lot of

2041
01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:08,280
the

2042
01:19:08,280 --> 01:19:10,000
platforms you just talked about like

2043
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:12,600
search engines and whatnot.

2044
01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:14,400
Are you on there?

2045
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:15,880
>> No, we're not.

2046
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:17,360
>> How?

2047
01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:19,640
>> We're not because we do not we have not

2048
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:21,680
tied into doing search engine

2049
01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:23,360
optimization.

2050
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:27,680
We have not allowed our Visit Lake

2051
01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:31,240
Charles brand to be marketed on all of

2052
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:32,480
those platforms and

2053
01:19:32,480 --> 01:19:34,240
>> you mean you haven't allowed? We've

2054
01:19:34,240 --> 01:19:35,480
allocated money for it.

2055
01:19:35,480 --> 01:19:37,760
>> we haven't had the content. I apologize.

2056
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:39,920
We haven't had the content created. Now

2057
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:42,680
we do have the content with those videos

2058
01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:44,480
to be able to

2059
01:19:44,480 --> 01:19:46,800
get that search engine optimization on

2060
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:47,960
all those different platforms.

2061
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:49,560
>> You don't need

2062
01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:53,920
two videos to get SEO movement.

2063
01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:55,080
I mean you're saying you couldn't get

2064
01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:56,720
any SEO movement because you didn't have

2065
01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:58,200
two videos?

2066
01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:01,120
>> No, I mean you have to purchase you have

2067
01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:02,760

01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:03,600
get SEO.

2069
01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:05,120
>> for a business for a number of years

2070
01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:06,680
now.

2071
01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:08,320
I I just don't know why this is we're

2072
01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:12,560
just now talking about this in 2026.

2073
01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:14,160
Like there's not a breakdown of how

2074
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:17,400
money's being spent for tourism marketing and promotional

2075
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:18,840
expenses and your first statement and

2076
01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:20,880
second statement were the same thing.

2077
01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:22,720
>> So,

2078
01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:24,280
I do have a breakdown that's written

2079
01:20:24,280 --> 01:20:26,640

2087
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:44,440

Hill Country Trail?

2092
01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:52,160
>> Well, it depends. I mean, sometimes we

2093
01:20:52,160 --> 01:20:54,080
do those, sometimes we don't. Those are

2094
01:20:54,080 --> 01:20:55,840
>> Which ones are done this past year?

2095
01:20:55,840 --> 01:20:56,320
>> I'm sorry.

2096
01:20:56,320 --> 01:20:58,960
>> Which ones were done this past year?

2097

We've done

2100
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:08,840
>> So, none of those were

2101
01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:10,640

01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:16,990
ones that you asked about.

01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:18,800
Where Okay, the 101 Fun Things, the

Um the Hill Country Trail, we've done

2106
01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:23,480
that.

2107
01:21:23,480 --> 01:21:25,080
>> What was in those and how much was that?

2108
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:25,640
Do you know?

2109
01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:27,880
>> They're just ads. So, they're just

2110
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:29,800
tourism ads that we do. It's a placement

2111
01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:31,120
ad. It's a tourism ad. It's usually a

2112
01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:32,400
quarter page ad.

2113
01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:34,600
>> Monthly? Was it in one issue?

2114
01:21:34,600 --> 01:21:36,040
>> Most of them are quarterly.

2115
01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:36,440
>> Quarterly?

2116
01:21:36,440 --> 01:21:38,600
>> So, some of them are monthly. They're

2117
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:41,000
extremely expensive. Print is extremely

2118
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:43,600
expensive. That's why we didn't

2119
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:44,760
I mean, you're talking thousands of

2120
01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:47,120
dollars.

2121
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:48,000
>> It's just It's just

2122
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:50,360
>> for one little ad for almost sometimes

2123
01:21:50,360 --> 01:21:53,200
just a business business card size ad

2124
01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:53,720
>> Which

2125
01:21:53,720 --> 01:21:55,440
>> in these publications that don't have

2126
01:21:55,440 --> 01:21:56,840
much distribution.

2127
01:21:56,840 --> 01:21:58,880
>> So, is it business card or half page or

2128
01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:00,320
quarter page?

2129
01:22:00,320 --> 01:22:01,360
Cuz you're saying most

2130
01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:02,920
>> on what you buy.

2131
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:04,720
>> I don't know what you buy cuz I'm just

2132
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:06,240
looking at what you're saying.

2133
01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:08,240
>> I've not had to provide that. I can go

2134
01:22:08,240 --> 01:22:10,120
back and I can provide that.

2135
01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:11,720
>> I mean, I'm not trying to be to be mean

2136
01:22:11,720 --> 01:22:13,120
or anything. It's just if you're if

2137
01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:13,680
you're asking

2138
01:22:13,680 --> 01:22:15,760
>> show you the breakdown.

2139
01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:16,520
Yeah.

2140
01:22:16,520 --> 01:22:19,080
I can show you what we spent

2141
01:22:19,080 --> 01:22:21,320
for this past year.

2142
01:22:21,320 --> 01:22:22,920
>> Cuz you start when you started out with,

2143
01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:24,880
I know we don't have this now, but this

2144
01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:26,280
is what I'm asking for my budget for

2145
01:22:26,280 --> 01:22:27,640
next year.

2146
01:22:27,640 --> 01:22:29,800
But I'm going to get back to you on what we're doing.

2147
01:22:29,800 --> 01:22:33,080
>> No, I've started it, but it'll be the

2148
01:22:33,080 --> 01:22:35,680
AMP agreement will be paid out before

2149
01:22:35,680 --> 01:22:37,600
the end of this fiscal year to use up

2150
01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:39,440
that Lampasas Promotions budget that you

2151
01:22:39,440 --> 01:22:41,080
asked me to use.

2152
01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:42,680
But it will go into it's an annual

2153
01:22:42,680 --> 01:22:45,000
contract. So that will go into the new

2154
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:45,480
year.

2155
01:22:45,480 --> 01:22:46,640
>> I mean you you're saying it like that

2156
01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:48,200
I've asked you to use or we've asked you

2157
01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:49,760
to use. You asked for the money as part

2158
01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:51,600
of your budget, so it's it's of course

2159
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:53,400
we're asking you to use it for that cuz

2160
01:22:53,400 --> 01:22:54,800
if not then we don't need to budget

2161
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:55,960
that.

2162
01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:58,080
>> Sure. I understand.

2163
01:22:58,080 --> 01:22:59,320
>> And again, I'm not trying to be rude. I

2164
01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:00,520
just

2165
01:23:00,520 --> 01:23:01,800
I'm just trying to

2166
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:03,840
>> I've ne- and I give the breakdown, I

2167
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:05,960
give the receipts for what I've spent in

2168
01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:07,920
my quarterly reports and those come

2169
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:10,280
every quarter. So those reimbursements

2170
01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:11,920
and those receipts are in that those

2171
01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:12,680
packets.

2172
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:13,040
>> Okay.

2173
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:15,040
>> They're not in this budget packet. But

2174
01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:15,560
they can be.

2175
01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:16,880
>> I need to go back and look at all four

2176
01:23:16,880 --> 01:23:18,000
of those and I just will not make a

2177
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:20,640
decision today about about your budget.

2178
01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:21,800
>> Got it.

2179
01:23:21,800 --> 01:23:23,600
>> Well, I'm going to

2180
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:25,560
update the ask to change the budget to

2181
01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:27,360
the amount of the visitor center budget

2182
01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:29,800
for 2017.

2183
01:23:29,800 --> 01:23:32,160
>> Second.

2184
01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:35,470
