[2:56] » Thank you, Mayor.

[2:58] Good evening, everyone. And again, thank

[3:00] you all for being here to support local

[3:02] government. I would like to take just a

[3:05] brief moment and assure the citizens of

[3:08] Pasadena that every decision made at

[3:10] these meetings is driven by the welfare

[3:12] of our community. Alongside my fellow council members, we work as a

[3:17] team to safeguard our city's interests.

[3:20] While we may not always agree on every

[3:22] topic, we collaborate because we know

[3:24] trust is built when we put your

[3:27] interests first. This ensures that when

[3:30] Pasadena thrives, you thrive. That's all

[3:33] I have to say. With that, I pass.

[3:35] >> Thank you, sir. Councilman Fuchsler.

[3:37] >> Good evening. Uh this Friday, August

[3:39] 21st at Krenshaw Park from 6:00 to 9:00

[3:42] is the last of the summer evening

[3:44] artwalk markets with Visit Pastina and

[3:46] Texas markets. Uh they've had two this

[3:48] summer. They've been wonderful times. So

[3:50] bring your family out. It's free. Uh

[3:52] there's local vendors, live art, uh live

[3:55] music, and uh just a great time to be

[3:58] together with community. Um also wanted

[4:00] to give an update on the Arno Street

[4:02] paving and drainage upgrades. This

[4:04] project did experience some delays, but

[4:06] I'm happy to report that work should

[4:08] start within the next month. So, uh, I

[4:10] know people had reached out from Arno

[4:12] Street and just reporting that that work

[4:14] should be starting very soon. Uh, thank

[4:16] you all for being here. And with that, I

[4:18] pass.

[4:18] >> Thank you, sir. Councilman Styron,

[4:21] >> good evening everyone. Thank you for

[4:22] coming out supporting local government

[4:23] tonight. Uh, last weekend we had our

[4:26] first annual bike safety day uh that was

[4:28] hosted out at First Baptist Church. We

[4:30] had a good turnout out there. uh several

[4:33] quite a few uh kids came out, rode their

[4:35] bikes to the obstacle course and learned

[4:36] some great safety features as school

[4:38] started back this year. So, we hope to

[4:40] be able to continue that and be able to

[4:41] support that throughout the city. Also

[4:43] want to wish uh Lanny Armstrong a happy

[4:45] retirement effective seepmber 30th.

[4:47] You'll see that on tonight's agenda.

[4:48] He's been with the city many many years

[4:50] and has done a great job for our fire

[4:51] department. So, we wish him the best in

[4:53] retirement. Uh as we know, we got the

[4:56] road closed at Crrenshaw and Baywood.

[4:59] That was for a sewer line repair that

[5:02] was fixed. They gave us a timeline of

[5:05] two weeks. The void down there was a lot

[5:07] larger than they anticipated once they

[5:09] got the road tore up. They did get most

[5:11] of that repaired now and we should be

[5:13] able to get that road hopefully open

[5:15] early next week. And with that, I pass.

[5:18] >> Thank you, sir. Councilman Heredia.

[5:21] >> Thank you, Mayor. [clears throat] Uh

[5:22] good evening, mayor, fellow council

[5:24] members, and residents of Pasadena. Uh

[5:26] first of all, Pastor Rosales, thank you.

[5:28] That was a beautiful invitation. Uh so

[5:30] thank you for that. And I want to

[5:31] recognize Mr. Armstrong as well. Uh so

[5:34] enjoy retirement though. I heard uh

[5:36] Pasadena has some great green fees.

[5:39] [laughter]

[5:40] So we'll catch you out there. But uh uh

[5:42] tonight as [clears throat] we consider

[5:43] the issues before us, I want to remind

[5:45] everyone that every decision that we

[5:47] make up here has a direct impact on the

[5:49] people we represent. Whether we're

[5:51] talking about public safety, city

[5:52] services, infrastructure, taxpayer

[5:54] dollars, or accountability.

[5:56] >> [clears throat]

[5:57] >> And I want to make it clear, my position

[5:58] is simple. Our residents come first.

[6:02] Period.

[6:03] There may be times when I'm asked to ask

[6:05] uh difficult questions or challenge

[6:07] decisions made by this administration.

[6:09] And that's not about being against

[6:11] anyone. That's our responsibility as

[6:14] elected officials.

[6:16] We were asked to ask questions, demand

[6:18] transparency, protect taxpayers dollars,

[6:21] and make sure city government works for

[6:24] the people, not the other way around. I

[6:27] will continue to support what I believe

[6:28] is right for Pasadena, question what I

[6:30] believe deserves scrutiny, and always

[6:33] put the residents I represent first.

[6:35] That's what public service requires, and

[6:38] that's what our community deserves. And

[6:40] with that, I pass.

[6:41] >> Thank you, sir. Councilwoman Valio,

[6:43] >> I pass.

[6:44] >> Thank you, ma'am. Council member

[6:46] Guerrero.

[6:46] >> Good evening everyone. Thank you for uh

[6:48] for joining us. Thank you for all the

[6:50] police officers. We got to revalue you.

[6:51] I need some some more of you on the

[6:53] street. I feel too safe here. I want to

[6:55] thank our our local uh news channel for

[6:57] being here as well. Thank you for

[6:58] supporting um local government. I want

[7:00] to uh congratulate Laney Armstrong. He

[7:03] was here earlier. I saw him earlier uh

[7:04] for his retirement. He's been with the

[7:06] city for many, many years. We appreciate

[7:08] you and we're grateful for you. I want

[7:09] to highlight speaking about the the fire

[7:11] department. I want to highlight the fire

[7:12] department. They encountered a fire late

[7:15] uh Saturday evening on Jenkins at the

[7:17] Jenkins food mark caught on fire. They

[7:19] were to contain that damage and uh as a

[7:22] result of that the death toll was zero.

[7:24] So thank you for that. I want to

[7:26] highlight the strawberry festival. They

[7:28] just uh held the thank you banquet for

[7:30] their uh volunteers. Uh many people it

[7:32] is a staple of Pasina but the strawberry

[7:34] festival was separate from the city. So

[7:36] I want to highlight them uh for for

[7:38] theirs. And I want to congratulate um

[7:40] Officer James Carter for for being uh

[7:43] promoted. Now I I never thought I'd see

[7:45] something not tight on him, but I feel

[7:47] safe with him being around the mayor,

[7:48] too. With that, I pass.

[7:51] >> Councilwoman Van Hal.

[7:55] » The Crime Control and Prevention

[7:57] District Board administers a half cent

[8:01] of sales tax that goes for police use.

[8:05] The board works with their budget and

[8:08] they have four positions that will be

[8:10] termlimited in September. That's next

[8:13] month. There is an application open

[8:16] online. Uh you have to live in Pasadena.

[8:20] Uh if you're looking for the

[8:22] application, go to the city page under

[8:24] government boards and commissions

[8:27] crime control and prevention district.

[8:30] uh in the question where it asks why you

[8:32] want to do this, you might give some uh

[8:35] tell them if you have any experience

[8:36] with either budgeting or law

[8:38] enforcement.

[8:39] So, we've worked, this administration

[8:42] has gotten this stuff online so that the

[8:45] general public has a way to participate

[8:49] and it's not just the mayor's friends

[8:50] getting appointed, but this only works

[8:54] if members of the public apply.

[8:58] Thank you, ma'am. Councilman Estrada.

[9:01] >> Thank you, Mayor. Good evening,

[9:02] everyone. I too would like to

[9:03] congratulate and thank uh Chief

[9:05] Armstrong for his service to our city of

[9:07] Pasadena

[9:08] um for making Pasadena Volunteer

[9:11] Department the best in the country. Uh I

[9:14] believe the Madison Job Senior Center is

[9:15] having their uh National Senior Citizens

[9:18] Day brunch. I think I got it right this

[9:19] time, Eric. Um with that, I pass. Thank

[9:22] you, Mayor.

[9:22] >> Thank you, sir. I would like to also

[9:24] recognize uh Chief Lanny Armstrong for

[9:28] 20 years of service, dedication, and

[9:31] pride in our city and being a great

[9:33] leader for our number one volunteer fire

[9:36] department in the nation. And then I

[9:38] want to give out some recognition to our

[9:40] city controllers's office. Uh we've

[9:42] implemented some some new software and

[9:46] uh that team has really pulled together.

[9:48] there was a unit of about 15 of them and

[9:52] I just want to kind of give them some

[9:54] recognition for for their hard work and

[9:57] for many many others that participated

[9:59] in the whole process. So with that being

[10:02] said, uh citizens uh wishing to address

[10:05] council uh please remember address uh

[10:09] council members do not address members

[10:11] in the council and any disturbances or

[10:16] loud voices you'll be asked to uh to to

[10:19] leave. So the first uh uh citizen

[10:23] wishing to speak will be uh Ken Hazley.

[10:27] You'd come forward, sir.

[10:29] >> Thank you, mayor.

[10:32] My hope is that you all listen to what I

[10:34] have to say tonight. Uh my name is Ken

[10:36] Hazley. I've been a business owner and

[10:38] active in the Pastina community for more

[10:40] than 30 years. Recently, the place the

[10:42] police department has come under

[10:44] scrutiny for the illegal and possibly

[10:45] criminal negligent use by a former

[10:47] Pastina police sergeant of the flot

[10:49] camera systems. For years, serious

[10:51] concerns have existed and been raised

[10:53] regarding this former sergeant's conduct. My daughter, a current police

[10:58] Pasadena police officer, has personally

[10:59] endured targeted harassment and

[11:01] mistreatment by this individual for more

[11:03] than two years. And that raises a

[11:06] question that no longer can be ignored

[11:08] tonight. What does the leadership of

[11:10] this city consider acceptable treatment

[11:12] of their female officers who have the

[11:13] courage to stand up to injustice? This

[11:16] sergeant was pre previously relieved a

[11:18] duty by former police chief Jerry Wright

[11:20] for conduct violations specifically

[11:22] involving my daughter. Yet, despite that

[11:24] history, the mayor's appointed police

[11:26] chief, MP Jackson, shockingly returned

[11:29] the sergeant to active duty without any

[11:31] meaningful accountability for his

[11:33] conduct. Why is this? It was a message.

[11:36] to every officer in the

[11:37] Pasadena Police Department about what

[11:39] happens when misconduct is tolerated and

[11:42] what happens when an employee dares to

[11:44] challenge it. Chief Jackson, former

[11:46] Chief of Staff James Holt, and you,

[11:48] Mayor Shambine, made decisions regarding

[11:50] this situation, which demonstrates a

[11:52] profound failure of leadership. Rather

[11:54] than protecting the officer who raised

[11:56] concerns, my daughter was subjected to a

[11:58] series of actions that were

[11:59] intimidating, retaliatory, and

[12:02] professionally dam damaging. These

[12:04] included attempts to pressure her to

[12:06] leave the PPD. Efforts to place the same

[12:09] sergeant back in a position of authority

[12:11] over her. Efforts were made to bar her

[12:13] from entering the police station under

[12:15] the explanation that it was for her own

[12:17] personal safety because of his location.

[12:20] She was forced to undergo a mental

[12:21] health evaluation. This was unwarranted,

[12:23] possibly leg illegal, but used as

[12:26] another means of pressure and

[12:27] intimidation.

[12:31] Considering what I've just described,

[12:32] this is not an isolated incident. It's a

[12:34] series of decisions, a pattern. Because

[12:37] if an officer can subject this kind of

[12:38] treatment to more to someone more than

[12:40] two years, a leaders and a leadership

[12:43] that condones it, then this is no longer

[12:46] simply conduct of one former sergeant.

[12:48] It's about the culture of the department

[12:50] that permits and tolerates this behavior

[12:52] and the lack of accountability it fails

[12:54] to enforce. Mayor Shane, Pasadin needs

[12:58] leadership. Leadership means holding

[13:00] people accountable regardless of their

[13:02] rank, their position, their friendships,

[13:04] or their political connections. What

[13:07] we're seeing in the Pasadena Police

[13:08] Department is a department trapped in a

[13:10] culture of insular leadership,

[13:12] intimidation, and institutional

[13:14] bullying, and that must end. I'm asking

[13:18] the mayor and city council to take

[13:19] meaningful action. These would include

[13:22] fully release an unredacted version of

[13:24] the commander summary and an internal

[13:25] affairs report related to this sergeant

[13:28] to the public. Request an independent

[13:30] investigation of this police department

[13:32] by the Texas Rangers and determine

[13:34] whether any laws were violated and

[13:36] whether criminal conduct occurred.

[13:37] >> Thank you, sir.

[13:39] >> Ask for 34 seconds.

[13:40] >> No, sir. Thank you. Okay.

[13:44] >> I have copies if any of y'all would like

[13:45] this. Robert Jeter.

[13:54] » Good evening, council. First up, we have

[13:57] records requests. The mayor said this is

[13:59] the most transparent administration in

[14:01] the city's history a few meetings ago.

[14:03] He's currently retaining the same

[14:04] outside council the Wagner crime family

[14:06] did to obstruct access to his mayoral

[14:08] communications that are a matter of

[14:10] public record. Complaints have and shall

[14:12] continue to be filed with the Texas

[14:14] Attorney General's office to assist

[14:16] passing in and getting this

[14:17] administration into compliance with

[14:18] Texas Government Code Chapter 552.

[14:22] Second, the mayor used to mock the

[14:23] ridiculousness of a mayoral protection

[14:25] unit under the previous administration.

[14:27] Thomas was even making a big show about

[14:29] being able to drive himself around. He's

[14:31] now created a mayoral protection unit

[14:33] again. At least this officer is well

[14:35] respected and highly qualified for the

[14:37] role. But seeing as how I'm only

[14:39] disappointed in the mayor and have never

[14:40] threatened a previous administration,

[14:42] nor this one, even when he put hands on

[14:44] me to protect a councilman engaging in

[14:46] slander, it begs the question, what is

[14:48] the mayor suddenly afraid of? Did either

[14:50] the violent councilman Emanuel Guerrero

[14:52] or the terrorism supporting county

[14:54] commissioner Adrien Garcia threaten him

[14:56] into being beholden to their agenda and

[14:58] only making appointments to boards they

[15:00] approve of when both have a long history

[15:02] of utilizing intimidation tactics for

[15:03] political gain? I dare you to debate me

[15:06] on that subject, mayor. The the debate

[15:09] invitation is still open any day, any

[15:11] time, any place, any any moderator of

[15:14] your choosing. Additionally, does the

[15:16] city have any intention to prosecute

[15:18] Jerry Wright for unlawfully giving

[15:20] Emanuel Gro a copy of Sergeant Michael

[15:22] Pitz's employee records to go to the

[15:24] media with?

[15:27] It's very interesting that he reacted

[15:30] that way. Until that reaction just

[15:32] confirmed it, I wasn't sure that was

[15:34] true. Thank you, Councilman Guo. I'll

[15:36] make sure the public integrity unit

[15:38] Sergeant Gary Wright White, ADA Brent

[15:42] Chappelle, and your personal buddy,

[15:44] District Attorney Shawn Tier, sees this

[15:46] footage. I appreciate you tossing the

[15:48] former chief under the bus. Y'all have a

[15:51] lovely evening. Thank you, council.

[15:53] >> Thank you, sir. Now, we move to

[15:55] presentation of minutes.

[15:57] >> Motion. Have a motion by Councilman

[15:59] Guerrera, second by Councilman

[16:00] Fucheller. Is there any discussion? All

[16:08] carries. Progress payments. May I have a

[16:10] motion? Councilman Guerrero.

[16:12] >> Second. Uh, Councilman Estrada. Is there

[16:15] any questions?

[16:17] >> Mayor, like to abstain from any payments

[16:19] from uh to LJ.

[16:20] >> Okay. Madam Secretary, did you receive

[16:22] that?

[16:25] » Thank you, ma'am.

[16:26] >> Okay. All in favor?

[16:28] >> I.

[16:28] >> Any opposed?

[16:29] >> Finance resolution.

[16:30] >> Motion carries.

[16:32] >> Finance resolutions.

[16:34] >> Motion.

[16:34] Councilman Guerrero.

[16:37] >> Second. Councilman Styron. Any

[16:39] discussion?

[16:40] >> Mayor, I'd [clears throat] like to

[16:41] abstain from any payments to LJ.

[16:43] >> I I'd also like to abstain from

[16:45] >> Okay. So, we have Councilman Heredia and

[16:47] Councilman Dao.

[16:49] Thank you'all. Uh, all in favor?

[16:52] >> Any opposed?

[16:54] Motion carries. Personnel changes A and

[16:57] C. May I have a motion?

[17:00] >> Motion.

[17:00] Councilman Guerrero.

[17:03] >> Second. Councilman Fuchiller.

[17:05] >> Mayor,

[17:05] >> is there

[17:06] >> I move to divide the question.

[17:10] >> Okay. I have a motion to divide uh item

[17:13] A and C.

[17:14] >> That's correct. Thanks for guessing

[17:15] correctly.

[17:16] >> Okay. I have a second by Councilman

[17:18] Guerrero.

[17:21] » All in favor?

[17:23] >> Any opposed?

[17:26] Motion carries, Madame Secretary. Item

[17:29] A. All I'm sorry, any discussion on item

[17:33] A? All in favor?

[17:35] >> I.

[17:36] >> Any opposed?

[17:38] >> Motion carries. Now we move to item C.

[17:43] Is there a motion or motion? Councilman

[17:46] Estrada.

[17:47] >> Second.

[17:48] Councilwoman Valerio. Now, do we

[17:51] have discussion?

[17:53] >> Yes. Councilman Guerrero.

[17:56] >> Yes, sir. One moment. So, um motions

[18:00] here we're going to be highlighted u the

[18:02] creation of position 13421 uh 2222020-7

[18:07] uh creating a new lieutenant position

[18:09] for the police department. Actively, we

[18:11] have 10 lieutenants. They um wanting to

[18:14] add an 11th lieutenant. uh their salary

[18:17] started from 131,4579

[18:21] to 139,349

[18:24] with uh 83 cents. So it's currently um

[18:28] not a question of accountability. There

[18:30] has been a a question arisen in the

[18:32] process of how we got to this. Um

[18:36] before there was 10 positions and one

[18:39] was vacated. when there was 10

[18:41] positions, there was uh a ninth open

[18:43] which an officer uh committed to

[18:46] studying uh and achieving which you get

[18:48] this by being a sergeant two years

[18:50] before sitting for the civil service

[18:51] exam. Uh

[18:54] I'm rereading my concerns shared with

[18:57] the city secretary uh the city legal on

[19:00] Monday, April 13th uh in accordance with

[19:02] a a current lieutenant who had moved to

[19:05] civil service serve as acting chief of

[19:07] staff for the current administration and

[19:10] moved back to PD as a lieutenant and

[19:12] later an assistant chief. Um, note the

[19:14] following civil service law. In the in

[19:17] if an officer resigns to take a civilian

[19:19] job, they typically lose civil service

[19:21] status, seniority, and rank. Re-entry is usually treated as a new

[19:26] hire unless the department has specific

[19:28] rehire policies, which we won't. Rehire

[19:31] and reinstatement policies under chapter

[19:33] 143. There is no automatic automatic

[19:36] right to reinstate at a prior rank after

[19:38] resignation. Promotion to supervisor,

[19:40] sergeant, or above. To come back as a

[19:42] supervisor, the officer must be

[19:44] re-eployed as a classified officer

[19:46] first, meet eligible requirements, pass

[19:48] a competency promotion exam, be placed

[19:50] as a civil service eligible list. Um, in

[19:53] most Texas civil service cities, you

[19:55] cannot leave for a civilian job, and

[19:57] later return directly into supervisor

[19:59] rank. You will almost always need to

[20:02] re-enter as an officer and compete uh

[20:05] for the promotion.

[20:08] Seems like we're on we're on the news

[20:10] every week. Yet you all want to create a

[20:13] new lieutenant position. Public trust has been eroded and disappointed

[20:18] disappointing the the currently the

[20:20] Pasadena PD union uh prior president

[20:22] Brian and current acting president Lewis

[20:24] Garcia um are allegedly making promises

[20:27] for a vote of support and campaign

[20:29] support later. officers have called

[20:32] various various of my colleagues except

[20:35] me [clears throat]

[20:37] except me. It's very interesting.

[20:38] Various if not all of my colleagues have

[20:41] endured this uh multiple calls, multiple

[20:43] communication outreach. Lastly, most if

[20:45] not all my uh interesting I didn't

[20:48] receive a call and also I guess the

[20:51] union doesn't understand they're in

[20:52] danger of violating the law and doing a work a walking quorum or maybe

[20:57] they just don't care. These are things

[20:59] to re-evaluate, rehighlight, and for

[21:02] that reason, I will not be supporting

[21:03] this lieutenant position because of uh

[21:06] you cannot make up for a wrong.

[21:08] >> Okay.

[21:09] >> Any other discussion?

[21:11] >> Mayor,

[21:12] >> Councilman Heredia,

[21:13] >> members of council, mayor,

[21:16] I know everyone has been seeing the news

[21:19] lately and I'm quite disgusted and sick

[21:21] of it as well. But tonight, we have to

[21:25] take this put our big boy pants on.

[21:28] a girl, sorry, a woman.

[21:30] >> Uh, but tonight we're being asked again

[21:31] to approve a uh creation of an

[21:34] additional lieutenant position,

[21:36] something that this council reested just

[21:38] a few weeks ago. Um, so before we vote,

[21:42] I believe we owe our officers, our

[21:45] taxpayers, and our residents

[21:47] a very simple answer.

[21:50] What has changed?

[21:56] If this position is truly necessary for

[21:58] public safety, show us a need.

[22:02] Show us how it puts more officers in our

[22:04] neighborhoods, how it improves response

[22:07] times, or helps us fight crime.

[22:13] But if we're creating a position to

[22:15] accommodate past personal or management

[22:18] decisions,

[22:20] then we need to be willing to say that

[22:23] our responsibility is not to protect

[22:25] positions or personalities.

[22:28] Our responsibility is to protect the

[22:31] public

[22:33] and every decision we make tonight

[22:35] should be measured against that

[22:37] standard.

[22:38] I hope that my fellow councilmen and

[22:41] council women

[22:43] uh vote their conscience and vote what's

[22:46] right for the people of Pasadena. With

[22:48] that, I pass.

[22:49] >> Thank you, sir.

[22:51] >> Councilman Styron.

[22:52] >> Yes, sir. Thank you. [clears throat]

[22:54] As we talk about this lieutenant

[22:55] position tonight that's on the agenda,

[22:57] it is very hard to support knowing what

[23:01] this position used to have, sergeants

[23:03] underneath it, and we didn't have an

[23:04] overtime problem. We have been given

[23:06] multiple reasons why this position is

[23:08] needed, such as span of control, growth

[23:10] of the department, and to cure overtime

[23:12] rates.

[23:14] Whoever you talk to to ask questions

[23:16] about this has a different answer. You

[23:19] cannot get a straight answer from from

[23:20] one person throughout the department. If

[23:24] the department can't give us a true

[23:25] answer on why this position is needed,

[23:27] us as council has issues on supporting

[23:30] the issue. We do not have the right

[23:32] information to be able to vote on this

[23:34] at the current time and for that reason

[23:36] I cannot support that at the current

[23:37] time.

[23:39] >> Councilman Fler.

[23:42] >> Yeah. During pre-consil we had a

[23:44] discussion about this. Um like

[23:46] Councilman Styron said, uh depending on

[23:48] who you talk to, there's been different

[23:49] numbers floated around about how much

[23:51] this new position could save the city.

[23:54] Um some changes that were already made

[23:55] have are projected to save the city

[23:57] about $200,000. So, thank you for for

[24:00] making those changes. Um, I think that

[24:02] it's hard for us to make this decision

[24:04] with just getting this information um 30

[24:08] minutes prior to this meeting. Um, so we

[24:10] got some numbers uh in pre-consel, but

[24:13] this is something that um once we set

[24:15] it's a president and it's going to be on

[24:17] every year. And so, I think that um the

[24:21] information has just been all over the

[24:22] place as far as how much it could save.

[24:24] And even in pre-consil we discussed that

[24:26] there's really no figure that can be um

[24:29] there's there's no estimate of what the

[24:31] savings could be. And so for that reason

[24:33] uh it makes it very hard to rush through

[24:35] a decision through this. So for me it's

[24:37] not necessarily uh no. It's just not

[24:39] right now with the limited information

[24:41] that we've been given and nothing's

[24:42] really changed in the last two weeks.

[24:45] >> Any other comments?

[24:48] Councilwoman Vanhal.

[24:52] I voted yes on this last time

[24:56] supporting what the chief said that this

[24:58] was something they needed.

[25:02] I'm not sure if we need it or not, but

[25:04] my issue now is that two weeks ago

[25:07] council voted this down and I don't

[25:09] think it should be back on the next

[25:11] agenda when I have not seen any

[25:16] particular change to merit getting this

[25:18] back.

[25:21] Any final

[25:23] >> Councilman Dell?

[25:25] >> I just want to add that there are

[25:27] concerns regarding hiring and spending,

[25:30] but I assure you that our intentions are

[25:32] to protect the taxpayer dollars to

[25:34] ensure a successful future for our city.

[25:37] I've spent countless hours researching

[25:39] and listening to the information

[25:41] provided from all sources

[25:44] to ensure that what we do benefits the

[25:46] majority.

[25:48] This is the reason why I can't support

[25:50] this issue at this time.

[25:53] >> Any other further discussion?

[25:56] All right. This time we'll have a roll

[25:57] call vote. Councilman Heredia,

[25:59] >> nay.

[26:00] >> Councilman Valerio,

[26:02] >> no.

[26:02] >> Councilman Guerrero,

[26:04] >> nay.

[26:05] >> Councilman Vanhal,

[26:06] >> no.

[26:07] >> Councilman Estrada,

[26:08] >> I.

[26:09] >> Councilman Dao,

[26:11] >> no.

[26:11] >> Councilman Fusler,

[26:12] >> no.

[26:13] >> Councilman Styron,

[26:14] >> no.

[26:15] >> And I am an I. Motion fails.

[26:19] point of information.

[26:21] >> Yes, ma'am.

[26:22] >> What keeps it from coming back on the

[26:24] agenda next week or next council

[26:25] meeting?

[26:28] >> Well, it's been voted no. Uh we'll

[26:31] re-evaluate u the options and uh may

[26:34] come back at a later date.

[26:37] >> So then I'd like to discuss real quick

[26:39] with the council members.

[26:40] >> Uh there's no discussion. The motion's

[26:42] already been voted on.

[26:43] >> Okay. Point of

[26:44] >> there's no no discussion. Okay. Final

[41:29] >> Uh, I have discussion. I have um on

[41:32] resolution

[41:33] >> Councilman Heridia. I [clears throat]

[41:34] have comment on resolution G and F, the

[41:38] economic development uh appointed

[41:40] reappointing of Salvador Serrano Jr. to

[41:42] the board of directors and the

[41:44] appointing of uh Jesse San Miguel to the

[41:47] board of directors, Pasadena Economic

[41:48] Development Corporation. I do appreciate

[41:51] that the uh procedures were changed so

[41:54] that we could actually interview these

[41:56] candidates. So, thank you for that. Uh I

[41:58] think that's a better way of getting uh

[42:01] us informed and making sure that we are

[42:03] actually vetting these candidates.

[42:05] [clears throat]

[42:05] That being said, I'm going to refer. So

[42:08] if you feel if if our director feels

[42:10] that these are the candidates that were

[42:12] interviewed

[42:13] uh and uh uh uh were of your

[42:16] recommendation, I feel that uh I can

[42:18] support that. So thank you for that.

[42:20] Thank you for the changes as requested.

[42:23] Thank you.

[42:23] >> Thank you, sir. Councilman Guerrero.

[42:25] >> Yes, sir. I'm going to speak on item uh

[42:26] G a resolution of the city council of

[42:28] city passing and Texas reappointing s

[42:30] junior to the board of directors of

[42:31] passing economic development corporation

[42:33] uh or two-year term. Uh so our EDC

[42:36] handles portion of our sales tax uh

[42:38] economic development corporation they

[42:40] led the initiatives uh against some of

[42:42] our recommendations for the renovations

[42:44] of the convention center as we saw that

[42:47] stalled um that stalled and led to a

[42:50] ongoing lawsuit. So that being said, I I

[42:54] think everyone that was on that board uh

[42:56] went against um areas of concern, areas

[43:00] that could have been delayed and areas

[43:01] of improvement. Uh Mr. Alicono was part

[43:04] of that board at that time. Uh so for

[43:06] that reason, we need we um also it comes

[43:09] back to recycling the same people. We

[43:11] have to give opportunity to other people

[43:12] in the community. So for that reason, I

[43:14] will not be supporting uh this

[43:15] nomination. Transparency and

[43:16] accountability is important and if a

[43:18] reappoint, what does that show? Thank

[43:20] you.

[43:20] >> Thank you, sir. Any other discussion?

[43:24] >> Councilwoman Van Hal,

[43:27] >> we had some other people on the agenda a

[43:29] while back and

[43:31] things happened and I'm glad to see some

[43:34] people back on here.

[43:37] However, I also have a problem with item

[43:39] G and that uh the EDC allows for four

[43:45] consecutive two-year terms and then

[43:47] you're term limited. you can sit out,

[43:50] you can come back. But this particular

[43:53] person uh moved out of Pasadena in June

[43:57] of 2023. Had to go off the board at that

[44:00] time. Moved back, went back on the board

[44:04] in February of 2024. That was only an

[44:07] 8month break.

[44:10] And

[44:12] so they've started the clock over. Now

[44:15] we don't get to do that. We've got

[44:16] two-year terms. We can't leave eight

[44:19] months early and come back again. And I don't think that the clock should be

[44:25] restarted. This person needs to be out

[44:28] of term and can be considered after

[44:29] that.

[44:31] >> Thank you, ma'am. Any other discussion?

[44:36] Okay. All in favor?

[44:40] » Okay. I think we need to separate this.

[44:42] Madam Secretary, let's let's do

[44:45] everything E, H, I, and J, and then

[44:50] we'll separate F and G.

[44:53] >> Madam Secretary,

[44:54] >> that's a division of question. Don't you

[44:55] need a second for that?

[44:56] >> Well, I'm I'm fixing to ask for that,

[44:58] ma'am. Thank you. So, can I have a

[45:00] second for that?

[45:01] >> I second that.

[45:02] >> All right. All in favor?

[45:04] >> Any opposed? Okay. So,

[45:08] Madame Secretary, um, and council E, H,

[45:12] I, and, J., may I have a motion?

[45:15] >> Have a motion by Councilman Guerrero,

[45:17] second by Councilwoman Valerio. Any

[45:20] discussion? All in favor?

[45:23] >> Any opposed?

[45:25] Motion carries. Madame Secretary, now we

[45:28] will be voting on item F. May I have a

[45:31] motion?

[45:33] by Councilman Heredia, second by

[45:35] Councilman Guerrero. Um, is there any

[45:38] discussion?

[45:40] All in favor?

[45:42] >> Any opposed?

[45:44] Motion carries. Now we move to item G.

[45:48] May I have a motion?

[45:49] >> Motion.

[45:55] discussion?

[45:57] All in favor?

[45:59] >> No.

[46:00] I I was will butt into the discussion.

[46:03] >> Okay. Go ahead, sir.

[46:04] >> I I wanted to see if I can if if

[46:06] Councilwoman Van How, could you give me

[46:07] just a little bit? I just took some

[46:09] notes. June 23 23 to February 24th. Does

[46:12] that make it ineligible? Is that

[46:14] correct?

[46:14] >> Are you addressing your question as a

[46:15] point of information?

[46:16] >> I am.

[46:17] >> Okay.

[46:22] » I don't know that it's in their bylaws.

[46:24] It's supposed to be there's a term

[46:26] limit. four consecutive two-year terms.

[46:30] I have not looked for the bylaws to see

[46:32] the exact wording.

[46:34] I know that what the director is doing

[46:36] is considering that eight-month gap is

[46:39] starting the clock over and I'm not

[46:42] considering it the same way.

[46:44] >> Okay. All right. So, we have a motion.

[46:46] We had a second discussion. Okay. All in

[46:51] favor?

[46:52] >> I.
