John, if you'd say where you live. Come on up. 16 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:33,320 » No, no. Come up into the lectern, please. 17 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:41,000 It's nice to be able to walk. >> Yes. I live at 113 Cliffside. 18 00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:48,399 » Okay. >> Go ahead, please. 19 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:52,640 » Okay. Uh first of all I want to say the uh July the 4th of July which is 20 00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:57,280 actually we did it early that whole celebration was very well done really 21 00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:01,360 really well done and I think everybody would agree on that if you went uh we 22 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:05,520 had a great celebration and so it brought a good memory. I also loved it 23 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:09,360 uh going up and down the highway today. I don't know when it was actually done 24 00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:14,160 but I saw that all the the beew weeds were actually moaned downh today. So it 25 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,160 was a relief to the eye. It was actually very beautiful. So, whoever did the 26 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:22,000 mowing job did a nice job. And I know maybe somebody wasn't happy about that, 27 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:27,599 but I think the bees will be okay. You know, any rate, um I just want to say 28 00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:32,480 something about the uh zoning change uh that is uh being proposed for having the 29 00:02:30,239 --> 00:02:39,120 Jify Lube and the Chipotle right in that area. I'm more particularly concerned 30 00:02:34,959 --> 00:02:43,440 about the uh the Jify Lube. Not majorly concerned, but I do have some concerns 31 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:47,280 because it brings up some issues. You know, I just I really believe that 32 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:51,920 beautiful cities that I've seen have strong zoning enforced. You can really 33 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:56,720 tell that it's been planned. And I think that without any strong guidance in the 34 00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:01,680 city planning, the appearance of a city can look haphazard. It can have lots of 35 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:05,599 independent looks and architecture and conflicts. I studied architecture for a 36 00:03:03,519 --> 00:03:09,360 couple of years in college and I just, you know, learned a lot from that that 37 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:13,680 it really does make a difference in a a feeling of a city when you plan it. 38 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:16,640 Houston suffered a lot from that effect. You can see it when you drive through 39 00:03:14,959 --> 00:03:20,560 the city. There was just caphazard zoning and I'd hate to see that happen 40 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:24,319 in our little community of Shavano Park. Even though we're not big, you know, 41 00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:28,879 it'd be really sad to see that happen. So, some of the specific questions would 42 00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:32,480 be noise levels from the Jiful. If if there's people who would some of the 43 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:37,360 Chipotle's have dining and some of them don't outside, uh there could be kind of 44 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:41,680 noisy if it's in close proximity to the building. It seems like there would have 45 00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:46,560 to be a really good separation there. So, I think that uh when tires are being 46 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:50,720 topped off and there's clanging of auto parts and cars coming in and out, that 47 00:03:48,799 --> 00:03:55,920 could be not a really great environment for a restaurant, you know, very close 48 00:03:52,640 --> 00:04:00,159 to it. Uh, so I wonder if this Chipotle would have outdoor seating at this 49 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:05,599 location and how much parking will be available for customers for Chipotle and 50 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:11,519 for Jiffy Lube and will there be space between the two companies? And I think 51 00:04:08,959 --> 00:04:17,840 another concern I have is allowing the zoning change for Zify Jiffy Lube could 52 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:22,400 also very easily set a precedent for the future to keep on making exceptions for 53 00:04:20,799 --> 00:04:27,040 this business and another business and another business and you have to do that 54 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:31,600 at times. But if you are forced into it and oh well look what you did over here 55 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:35,840 maybe somebody brings a legal problem in front of you because that happened. That 56 00:04:33,919 --> 00:04:38,479 could be a really sad thing to happen in Chav Park. Look, those are my comments. 57 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,919 So, >> thank you very much, [clears throat] 58 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:46,639 John. We appreciate it. >> Uh, Susan Willings. Susan, if you could 59 00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:51,759 tell us where you live. >> I live also at 113 Cliffside. Thank you, 60 00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:56,000 Pete, for the reminder of those seven virtues. I really appreciated hearing 61 00:04:53,600 --> 00:05:00,639 those and I think that really set our minds in a beautiful place tonight. I 62 00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:03,840 really thank you. Um, this is not related right now to the ordinance, but 63 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:10,800 I just want to say I don't know if it's possible, but um, I really appreciate 64 00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:15,199 what Kevin Walker and Brian E have done at the end of Cliffside Drive, and I 65 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:20,400 wonder maybe this has already been done, but I it'd be nice if the city or city 66 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:25,919 council would send a thank you note to them. I walk that every day and I notice 67 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:30,240 how many hours Kevin has spent loading rocks and soil to that and it really has 68 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:35,520 beautified the front of our street which I greatly appreciate and um I look 69 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:39,520 forward someday to having our own monument there on the corner of 70 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:43,759 Northwest Military and Days of Olive looking more updated and beautiful 71 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:48,000 because this is a beautiful city and I was just hoping it could reflect that 72 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:51,039 because that's you know people make a lot of judgments when they drive past 73 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:56,320 there all the about our neighborhood and so I'm hoping 74 00:05:54,240 --> 00:06:00,479 um there can be some wonderful input to go to there to modernize it and make it 75 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:05,520 look lovely. When I first now talking about the um 76 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:11,520 the going in of the restaurant and the Jify Lube, I think my first reaction was 77 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:16,240 a concern about wow, you know, we don't have a whole lot of 78 00:06:13,039 --> 00:06:20,080 acres left and I was just thinking I mean I I I might be speaking out of turn 79 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:23,759 because I'm not the developer and I don't know how hard it is to get 80 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:28,160 businesses attracted to it and especially that particular lot with the 81 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:33,280 traffic flow, but I was hoping there could be more a little bit more classy 82 00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:39,840 kind of a you know restaurant or something that could be attracted to 83 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:46,240 that area. Just um so I'm just I'm not saying don't but I'm just saying you 84 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:51,680 know be cautious about being too hasty to approve and you know maybe it's it is 85 00:06:49,919 --> 00:06:56,720 like I say very difficult to find someone who would be attracted to that 86 00:06:53,440 --> 00:07:01,360 particular property to build something. Anyway, thank you for the fact that you 87 00:06:59,039 --> 00:07:06,240 all work so hard to make these decisions and want to honor our community. 88 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:11,199 » Susan, thank you very much. Appreciate it. 89 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:16,960 » Okay. Uh that brings us to item number four, city council comments. Christian 90 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,919 time. Thank you. >> Okay, Lee, 91 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:25,919 I'd like to thank you all for showing up. Whatever your motivation is, it's 92 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:30,479 always good to see people involved civically in government. It gets lonely 93 00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:34,479 up here on the das when nobody's in the crowd. Uh, and I'd like to remind you 94 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:41,520 that we are in the middle of the budget process and staff has done an incredible 95 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:47,280 job of making sense of all the things that go into running a city. And uh I 96 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:52,319 hope that you appreciate the uh employees here that do so much to help 97 00:07:49,759 --> 00:07:55,680 us to make life better for you folks. Thank you. 98 00:07:53,599 --> 00:08:00,000 » Okay. Thank you, Pete. >> Yeah. Hope hopefully you've all noticed 99 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:05,120 on Desavalas the project is coming to completion and uh it was funny because 100 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:08,400 uh I guess it was over a year ago, you know, the contractor got up and said 101 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,479 it'll be 13 months to do this and I thought, "Oh, come on. It's going to be 102 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:14,720 a little bit longer than that." And we've we've hit the 13month mark. 103 00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:19,199 There's a lot of people that put a lot of work into making that happen. Uh so I 104 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:24,400 want to want want to thank those in in particular our staff. When you look at 105 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:28,639 Bill, Johnny, Curtis, Brenda, and the police department that all put a lot of 106 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:33,599 work into making sure that it was safe and and that things went correctly. uh 107 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:39,200 our contractor did an outstanding job, J3 the engineering uh city engineer did 108 00:08:36,479 --> 00:08:44,399 an outstanding job, the inspector and also we had a committee of of uh 109 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:50,000 citizens that helped drive that uh making sure that it was done correctly. 110 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:54,640 Uh and most of all the citizens that live on Desavalis that put up with all 111 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:59,040 the noise and the construction really really thank them as well. Uh but we're 112 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,839 getting really close and I think that uh we're all going to be very pleased with 113 00:09:00,399 --> 00:09:06,000 it. >> Conrad 114 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:09,760 » like echo that that some citizens involved in the days of all project and 115 00:09:07,839 --> 00:09:15,360 the and the work they put in. I'll appreciate that. It's it's all volunteer 116 00:09:11,839 --> 00:09:19,279 and it's it's good work. Um in addition to Kevin Walker, I think Brian Neck was 117 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:22,240 part of that too and it's it's right at the end of Cliffside and military can go 118 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:27,360 by and check it out. That's citizens initiating that on their own doing that. 119 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:34,880 a little bit of a help with some soil and stuff from the city, but it it looks 120 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:38,480 so good and so appreciative. Thank you. >> Just I normally don't comment during 121 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:43,360 council comments, but I do want to commend uh Kevin and and Brian. I've 122 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:46,480 talked to both of them. Uh but I also want to thank Frank and Johnny for all 123 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:50,880 the work that they've done and getting the materials over there to help them. 124 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:55,519 Uh you can have a great vision, but if you don't have the stuff to work with, 125 00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:59,600 you you don't have the stuff to work with. It's having a really great set of 126 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:03,440 Play-Doh as a kiddo, but if you don't have the little extrusion devices, you 127 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:08,560 can't do the really cool stuff with the Play-Doh. So, thank you guys for helping 128 00:10:05,839 --> 00:10:12,720 out with Kevin and Brian so very much. Um, brings us to item number five, 129 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:19,519 presentations, commentations, and announcements. Proclamations 130 00:10:15,839 --> 00:10:24,160 2026 Independence Day event sponsors. Uh we are absolutely blessed to have so 131 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:28,720 many sponsors that make such a big difference in Shavano Park and we have 132 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:33,680 some that have been here for years and others that have come and gone from a 133 00:10:30,959 --> 00:10:37,440 time to time. Um and then of course we have our Shavano Park women who just 134 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:41,519 have made all the difference in the world. They have been the glue that has 135 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:47,200 hold this held this community together for 71 years and and the city has only 136 00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:51,040 been here for 70. So, uh, they have just made all the difference in the world. I 137 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:56,240 suggested that when they did their 70th anniversary that they wear t-shirts that 138 00:10:53,760 --> 00:11:00,480 said 70 years of excellence because it has been 70 years of of excellence for 139 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:05,200 them, but some of them it was just too darn close to their age and they didn't 140 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:10,399 want to put on that 70 years. So, I I can fully understand that. Uh, we have 141 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:14,480 we have five five entities that we're going to recognize this evening. Uh, 142 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:18,560 CERS Engineer is our first. Do I have anybody from Collier's engineering to 143 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:22,800 accept the proclamation? I didn't see anybody come in from Cyers. 144 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:26,880 We get to see them all the time. They probably are thinking, golly, we'll pick 145 00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:33,000 those up on some other time because uh we do spend so much time with them and 146 00:11:28,959 --> 00:11:33,000 and I'll thank them individually. 147 00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:40,480 The next one is Martin Marietta. Do I have anybody from Martin? Oh, great. 148 00:11:38,079 --> 00:11:44,720 Great. Come on down. Uh, and I'll even give you a chance to to give a little 149 00:11:42,079 --> 00:11:49,480 bit of information about yourself. I'm going to come out there and we're 150 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,480 going to take a picture together. 151 00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:04,000 Just just a couple of words that I'll say uh going going back over 25 years. 152 00:12:00,959 --> 00:12:09,040 Martin Marietta has been on this side on this side. Uh has been instrumental in 153 00:12:06,959 --> 00:12:13,040 our communities going back to when Tommy Payton got them involved in our 154 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:18,000 community. They have done barbecues for us. They've done community events. And 155 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:24,240 we come forward to today and Martin Marietta a quarter over a quarter of a 156 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:29,279 century later has been perhaps our longest sustaining supporter outside of 157 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:32,959 the Shavano Park women and and on behalf of the city of Shavano Park I want to 158 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:38,320 thank you for your great contribution and all that you do for us. Keep up the 159 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:41,828 great work and appreciate everything. Thank you so much. [applause] 160 00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:03,600 is well it may not be in the right order.

Uh we are excited 163 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:16,800 to have you as a part of the Shavano Park community. Y'all have made a great 164 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:22,000 contribution over there. We were concerned about getting that uh that 165 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:25,519 development center uh in place and y'all have been the anchor for it.

And do you need council's uh approval or guidance on 323 00:28:09,919 --> 00:28:16,399 that? Uh well, if you remember when we lowered it, we did it on an emergency 324 00:28:14,399 --> 00:28:19,840 basis um because it was a construction area and we felt there was a safety 325 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:24,159 hazard. Uh and then when we formalized it with council, I believe the 326 00:28:21,679 --> 00:28:29,360 stipulation was upon uh project completion or council approval. Um, and 327 00:28:27,279 --> 00:28:33,679 this morning talking with city manager during our morning huddle, I believe he 328 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:38,559 said that they were doing a walkthrough on Thursday to determine project 329 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:42,799 completion or we can do it through city council actions. 330 00:28:40,399 --> 00:28:45,919 » Yeah, the project uh will will be complete Thursday.

Um, we were just 340 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:38,320 meeting at a special meeting and we have two more dates. Uh, Brenda, uh, are we 341 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:43,120 we have those dates that you previously provided. If you would just take a 342 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:48,000 couple of minutes to advise the public concerning that. 343 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:52,399 » Uh, yes sir. So, in September, we have a special council meeting um for the first 344 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:57,600 reading of the budget. That is on Monday, September 14th. That'll be at 345 00:29:54,559 --> 00:30:03,360 5:30. And then in September, on Monday the 21st, we were we will be having the 346 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:08,000 crime control board meeting at 6:15. And then the regular city council meeting at 347 00:30:05,679 --> 00:30:13,200 6:30. That will be the second reading of the budget, uh the ordinance for the 348 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:20,320 budget approval, as well as the uh tax rate resolution approval. Okay. Uh, do 349 00:30:16,159 --> 00:30:26,399 we have a motion to set the September 20 uh, September 14th and 21st meetings 350 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:30,399 except the fiscal year 2026 27 budget calendar is submitted and confirmed 351 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:35,200 dates for the September 14th special council meeting at 5:30 and the 352 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:39,760 September 21st crime control prevention district board of directors meeting at 353 00:30:37,679 --> 00:30:44,799 6:15 with the regular council meeting to immediately follow. Do we have a motion? 354 00:30:43,919 --> 00:30:49,600 Make that motion. >> We have a motion from Conrad. We have a 355 00:30:47,279 --> 00:30:52,480 second from Lee. There being no discussion, all in favor say I. 356 00:30:51,919 --> 00:30:56,399 » I. >> All oppose. Same sign. The motion 357 00:30:54,320 --> 00:31:01,279 carries. 40. Uh item 8.9 discussion action ordinance 358 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:07,760 0.201004 amending the fiscal year 202526 359 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:12,399 budget. This is an administrative uh change which means it will be take 360 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:15,200 effect immediately. Build. Are you or Brenda going to talk first? 361 00:31:13,679 --> 00:31:20,720 » Brenda. >> All right. Thank you. So, we staff has a 362 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:25,120 number of items to propose amendments to the fiscal year 26 budget. So, they 363 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:29,120 include uh development fees. The city has received almost 109,000 in 364 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:33,520 development fees relating to the platting of the pit and the final plat 365 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:36,720 of Napier Park. So, amounts received are typically transferred to the capital 366 00:31:35,279 --> 00:31:41,200 replacement fund for future infrastructure expenditures. So, we are 367 00:31:39,519 --> 00:31:45,200 proposing an increase to the development fee revenue line item as well as an 368 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:49,200 increase to the transfer to the capital replacement fund line item. And then in 369 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:53,440 the capital replacement fund, we will see an offsetting or corresponding 370 00:31:51,919 --> 00:31:58,880 increase in the transfer from the general fund as a revenue line item in 371 00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:03,039 that fund. U donations. The city has received a generous $15,000 donation 372 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:07,440 from the star family in memory of their daughter Lisa for improvement to the 373 00:32:05,039 --> 00:32:12,720 walking trails in the MUN tract. So we are proposing an increase of 15,000 to 374 00:32:09,919 --> 00:32:17,440 donations and offset by an increase of the same amount to capital improvement 375 00:32:14,559 --> 00:32:21,679 project expense line item information technology. At its June regular council 376 00:32:20,159 --> 00:32:26,159 meeting, city council approved the purchase of an artificial intelligence 377 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:29,519 server at a cost not not to exceed $25,000. 378 00:32:27,679 --> 00:32:34,720 So, the amendment proposes an increase to capital computer equipment of the 379 00:32:31,679 --> 00:32:39,760 $25,000 and we're proposing offsetting that with an increase um in the sale to 380 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:44,799 city assets, the partial proceeds from the sale of a portion of the green belt 381 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:49,279 to a resident on Box Oak. And then the fire department had a number of smaller 382 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:55,760 expenditure items. They also received a couple of uh additional revenues. So, 383 00:32:52,399 --> 00:33:02,320 they typically receive a a an trauma grant from the Southwest Texas Regional 384 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:06,240 Advisory uh Council. That was $5,146. So, we're prop proposing an amendment to 385 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:11,279 increase that revenue and increase the offsetting grant expenditure line item. 386 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:16,640 They received $5,200 in Firewatch revenues from an an area assisted living 387 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:20,799 facility when their fire alarm system went down. So, we're going to use that 388 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:25,519 to increase their equipment maintenance and repair budget a little bit and their 389 00:33:23,519 --> 00:33:30,640 vehicle maintenance and repair budget. Um, the vehicle maintenance and repair. 390 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:37,600 Big vehicles have big bills. Uh, ambulance uh M133B required replacement 391 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:42,399 of its onboard AC system or AC unit, a cost of approximately $10,300. 392 00:33:40,399 --> 00:33:46,960 We're proposing increasing their EMS revenues by a like amount. We're doing 393 00:33:44,559 --> 00:33:52,000 very well in our collections. our our provider there is doing a really good 394 00:33:49,039 --> 00:33:56,480 job. And then uh political instability. We're having issues with our f fuel 395 00:33:53,840 --> 00:34:00,720 prices. So, we're going to use an increase in the plan review fees and 396 00:33:58,399 --> 00:34:04,000 operating revenue line item to increase the vehicle and equipment fuels to get 397 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:08,960 them through the rest of the fiscal year. On the police side, they've 398 00:34:06,559 --> 00:34:13,520 received a generous $3,000 donation from a city resident who specified the use of 399 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:19,040 the funds toward police equipment as well as employee appreciation. So, we're 400 00:34:16,240 --> 00:34:24,399 offsetting that donation by a $3,000 in total increase in the related expenses 401 00:34:21,679 --> 00:34:30,079 where she wanted it to go. Uh, we need to bump up the cadet uh the the tuition 402 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:34,159 expenditure. When we hired the cadet, it was later in 403 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:38,960 the budget season last year and we did not take into account their uh their 404 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:43,440 academy tuition. So, we need to bump that up about $3,000. We'll we think 405 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:47,280 we'll have some additional toying contract revenues because we've already 406 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:53,359 maxed out that line item. So, those are offsetting code compliance. The cleanup 407 00:34:50,079 --> 00:34:57,680 on the 102 wagon trail for $4,500. We had originally budgeted that last year. 408 00:34:55,839 --> 00:35:01,839 However, the work wasn't done until this year. So, we're going to bump up our 409 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:07,359 plan review fees to offset that. And then the police department also had some 410 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:12,720 vehicle maintenance and repairs and uh fuel issues. So, we're we're offsetting 411 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:16,480 those increases in expenditures with an increase in the plan review fees. In our 412 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:21,440 community enhancement and engagement fund, council bumped up the the budget 413 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:26,240 for the city's July 4th celebration. And we've also received some additional 414 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:32,000 funding, especially towards the Liberty Tree Mural. So, we're increasing our 415 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:38,640 donation revenue line item by $5,200 and an increase of 20,450 to the city 416 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:43,920 sponsored events. And then on February 2 uh 2nd, 2022, I'm sorry, February 2nd, 417 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:48,880 2026, city manager signed an engineering task 418 00:35:45,839 --> 00:35:52,240 order for 69 6500 for the flip cliff side trail schematics and that was 419 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:55,359 directed to be taking out of the community enhancement and engagement 420 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:59,680 fund. So, we're increasing that expenditure line item by that amount. 421 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:05,920 Now, moving to the water utility fund. The water utility purchased 37.5 acre 422 00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:11,200 feet of of water rights this October and the city had originally budgeted 423 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:15,839 125,000. So we need to up that uh by 260,000 because that purchase price was 424 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:19,680 385,000. We have a few smaller adjustments 425 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:24,880 proposed in the tree protection and beautifification fund. One for the the 426 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:31,440 two municipal beehives, one for their tree donor program. Uh we just had 427 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:35,839 approved at the last council meeting the engineering task orders with collars for 428 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:40,640 the pavement condition index and the Turkey Creek drainage that total 58,000. 429 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:44,560 We're proposing taking that out of our street maintenance fund. And then also 430 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:50,400 in the capital replacement fund, in addition to the 109 development fees at 431 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:55,280 its October 2025 meeting, council approved up to 11,000 to reestablish or 432 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:58,240 improve the irrigation system at the Saddle Creek Triangle for a pollinator 433 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:03,520 garden. >> Okay. Uh thank you. You spoke more 434 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:07,359 rapidly than you normally do. Uh could you go back and tell me again about what 435 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:12,960 happened at 102 Wagon Trail? >> Yes. So that was the the abatement. So 436 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:19,359 last year we able we were able to clean up most of the abated rubbish. However, 437 00:37:16,720 --> 00:37:24,079 the motor oil and cooking oil cleanup was not able to get done until this 438 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:27,760 fiscal year. So I even though it was budgeted for last fiscal year, the 439 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:30,960 actual expense took place this fiscal year. So I I'm requesting that 440 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:35,440 adjustment. >> Okay. I I I thought that it was an 441 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:40,160 additional expense. I was hoping that it was money, but I I wasn't paying 442 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:42,320 attention well enough. Okay. Uh, Bill, anything else that you'd like to add at 443 00:37:41,599 --> 00:37:46,560 this time? >> Yes. Uh, great job by all the 444 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:50,800 departments doing this. Two things I want to highlight. Number one is almost 445 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:55,040 everything she mentioned as a budget amendment, we've already brought forth 446 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:59,920 to city council and you've already approved and there's certainly very 447 00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:05,040 little surprises or changes that just we didn't just make it up and say, "Okay, 448 00:38:02,240 --> 00:38:11,520 uh, go forth and and approve this." The second thing is when you say we bumped 449 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:17,280 up revenues, we we increased the revenue um projection line in the budget, the 450 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:21,280 actual revenues already are there, you know. So if we budgeted, let's say 451 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:24,960 $100,000 for ambulance fees and we got 110. 452 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:29,839 Most of the time we're not going to change the budget revenue line to 110. 453 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:35,200 We're just going to keep it at 100 and then we'll deposit that back into fund 454 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:42,320 balance. But as we receive more ambulance fees, development fees, even 455 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:45,920 permit fees, um we're just using those increased fees that we're actually 456 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:49,040 getting and projecting to offset the expenses so we maintain a balanced 457 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:55,920 budget. That's always going to mention there can be a little confusing. 458 00:38:53,200 --> 00:39:00,480 » Okay. Uh anybody have any questions, comments, or concerns before I entertain 459 00:38:57,599 --> 00:39:07,280 a motion? Okay. Uh, do we have a motion to approve ordinance 0 2026004 460 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:11,200 amending the fiscal year 2025 2026 budget? Um, do we have a motion? 461 00:39:10,240 --> 00:39:14,560 » Motion to approve. >> We have a motion from Christian. We have 462 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:19,440 a second. >> We have a second from Pete. 463 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:24,480 There being no disc. Uh, this is an administrative ordinance which means it 464 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:28,079 takes effect immediately. Uh we will do budget amendments for those who are 465 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:32,800 watching at home and are new to the meetings once or twice a year. Uh 466 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:36,720 because there are things that roll through the year and instead of amending 467 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:41,440 the budget every time that council authorizes something, we earmark where 468 00:39:39,359 --> 00:39:47,359 the money is going to be coming from or going to. and then we clean everything 469 00:39:44,240 --> 00:39:52,079 up in a single budgetary amendment which actually makes our auditors much happier 470 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:58,000 than having to go through pages and pages of changes on different city 471 00:39:54,800 --> 00:40:00,560 council agendas. Okay. Um there being no discussion, all in favor say I. 472 00:39:59,920 --> 00:40:03,280 » I. >> I. 473 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:08,400 » All oppose. Same sign. The motion carries. Thank you, Brenda. Item 8.8 474 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:14,400 date discussion action setting the date for the city sponsored events citywide 475 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:20,480 garage sale arbor day independence day national night out our holiday festival 476 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:23,280 Christristen >> I can do that 477 00:40:21,359 --> 00:40:30,400 » no Bill okay >> so uh we have six primarily primary csp 478 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:37,040 sponsored events uh garage sale the arbor independence day national night 479 00:40:33,359 --> 00:40:42,160 out trunk or treat and holiday festival And we typically try to schedule them at 480 00:40:39,119 --> 00:40:46,560 the same about same time every year. But we found that if we get out in front of 481 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:50,720 this earlier than we used to like we used to do this in October, November and 482 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:54,880 then things to get tightened up that we can start reserving the things we need 483 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:59,440 to we can inform our employees the employees a lot of them who have to work 484 00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:03,920 on that on those weeks uh work through that. So um do we have the calendar 485 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:09,119 here? Okay. So, I'll just go down the line one 486 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:13,200 way or the other. We're really looking at uh we have two options for the 487 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:18,480 citywide garage sale. March 6th or the 13th. We note that the Blackman spring 488 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:23,280 break is the 8th through the 12th and that tw March 27th is the Easter 489 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:27,839 weekend. So, we're proposing that we do this on the 13th. And so, uh we'll come 490 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:31,680 I I'll just go through all this. If there's any comments, we'll go from 491 00:41:29,119 --> 00:41:37,680 there. Arbor Earth Day, we try to do it in midappril. Um they're actually Earth 492 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:43,920 Day is actually in April. Arbor Day is usually in the fall. We combine that 493 00:41:40,720 --> 00:41:49,760 because the Fiesta is the 15th through the 25th and and 24th, 25th are the 494 00:41:47,119 --> 00:41:54,240 biggest days in Fiesta because it's towards the end. We're recommending that 495 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:59,359 our Earth Day celebrations are Saturday, April 17th. 496 00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:06,079 the Independence Day which is usually was always on the 4th of July. We we 497 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:12,160 have historically done this on the Saturday prior to that that uh allows 498 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:18,560 people to enjoy other activities on the 4th of July including our employees. The 499 00:42:15,839 --> 00:42:25,280 uh June 26 is the Saturday before the 4th of July. And then I make note also 500 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:30,880 that the radio club which was recognized earlier they will come at the conclusion 501 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:37,119 of that and they'll have their annual radio field day the 26th and 27th. July 502 00:42:34,319 --> 00:42:42,160 4th is a Sunday. So we did not do that July 3rd. We pushed it you know 503 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:46,400 basically up one day one one week there. National night out national night outs 504 00:42:44,319 --> 00:42:53,119 always the first Tuesday of October. That's October 5th this year. Um, and so 505 00:42:51,359 --> 00:42:57,359 that's worked pretty good. In in previous years they've that's been a 506 00:42:55,200 --> 00:43:02,240 conflict with the Texas Municipal League conference, but they've moved that to 507 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:08,960 later October, November. So that's good. Um, we're proposing that 508 00:43:05,119 --> 00:43:13,839 trunk or treat be on October 24th, which is a week in advance, so that's not 509 00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:19,119 conflicting directly with actual trunker Halloween. But that would be Sunday, 510 00:43:16,319 --> 00:43:24,720 October 24th. And finally, the December um holiday 511 00:43:21,839 --> 00:43:29,760 event centered around Christmas is historically the first Saturday in 512 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:37,200 December. That first Saturday is December 4th. So, we're throwing that 513 00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:42,800 out. Um the city plans and we budget it for those amount 514 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:46,160 and we're asking for approval of those dates at this time. 515 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:51,040 » Okay. Thank you very much, Bill. Appreciate the input. Um the Arbor Day 516 00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:56,079 Earth Day is something that's beencome become something of a tradition in 517 00:43:52,720 --> 00:44:00,480 Shavano Park. The the trunk or treat will be coordinating with the Shavano 518 00:43:57,839 --> 00:44:06,319 Park women and and families across the community national night out. Uh is the 519 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:12,560 police department going to actually be able to come up to the standard of the 520 00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:19,040 fire department this last year? >> Okay. I just want to make sure. and uh 521 00:44:15,599 --> 00:44:24,319 Independence Day uh the the rationale for doing it a full week plus is that in 522 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:31,520 Shavano Park a lot of people are going to go and travel on the 4th the 3rd 4th 523 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:36,160 of July and so we have this wonderful event and nobody would be showing up. Uh 524 00:44:34,079 --> 00:44:42,960 the great thing about December the 4th on our on our holiday festival is 525 00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:48,079 Santa Claus is going to be here. I I can just guarantee you Santa Claus is going 526 00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:54,319 to be here and it's going to snow. It snows every first uh first Saturday in 527 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:57,920 December. So, I know that I know that for all the children who are watching 528 00:44:56,079 --> 00:45:01,760 right now that they're thinking, golly, is Santa Claus going to show up in 529 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:05,520 Shavano Park and is it going to snow? And the answer is it's going to snow. 530 00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:09,280 And we have a city ordinance out there someplace. I haven't been able to find 531 00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:12,720 it, but you can throw snowballs at fathers and grandfathers all you want, 532 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:17,920 but you can't throw snowballs at your mothers and grandmothers without 533 00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:21,040 specific permission. Uh Pete probably has the ordinance. He may have pulled it 534 00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:24,560 out of the books just because he was tired of getting his granddaughter 535 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:29,599 throwing snowballs at him, but we're going to be doing a lot of fun. So, uh, 536 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:35,440 we have a motion to approve the the dates as proposed as outlined above, uh, 537 00:45:33,119 --> 00:45:39,599 for city sponsored events, the garage sale, Arbor Day, Earth Day, Independence 538 00:45:37,599 --> 00:45:43,440 Day, National Night Out, Trunk or Treat, the Holiday Event. Uh, do we have a 539 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:47,280 motion? We have a motion from Lee. Do we have a 540 00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:51,440 second? >> Second. 541 00:45:47,839 --> 00:45:56,000 » We have a second from Conrad. >> Is there any discussion? There being no 542 00:45:53,839 --> 00:45:59,280 discussion, all in favor say I. I >> I 543 00:45:56,720 --> 00:46:09,560 » All oppose. Same sign. The motion carries. Pete, did I hear you? Okay. 544 00:46:04,240 --> 00:46:09,560 Okay. Uh, brings us to 545 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:17,920 item 8.7, discussion action, setting the dates. Oh, we already did that. Sorry 546 00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:23,200 about that. Um, 8.6, discussion action considering the creation of an ad hoc. 547 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:27,680 Yes. >> Oh, okay. Yes, I I didn't miss that. 548 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:32,079 Okay. Uh discussion action setting the dates for the holiday the city holidays. 549 00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:38,520 Is that going to be Bill or is that going to be you? Okay. I think it's 550 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:38,520 Bill. Bill. 551 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:45,680 Well, uh the holidays are set by uh the city council. We establish them in the 552 00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:50,560 budget as well as the uh the employee handbook. And so then it's just a matter 553 00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:56,400 of every day, every year taking a look at the dates that align with with what 554 00:46:53,119 --> 00:47:01,440 we normally do. Um, see, let's see. I'm trying to think if 555 00:46:58,240 --> 00:47:07,760 there was any abnormal days. Christmas Day. Okay. Yeah. So, 556 00:47:05,839 --> 00:47:13,680 we had an option to move Christmas Eve to the 23rd and Christmas Day to the 557 00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:19,119 24th or leave Christmas Eve as the 24th, then bump the the Christmas Day 558 00:47:15,839 --> 00:47:23,760 celebration holiday until the 27th. Staff is recommending that we keep 559 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:28,640 Christmas Eve at the 24th and then just bump the Christmas Day holiday to the 560 00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:34,480 27th. Effectively gives us a 4-day weekend. We know that most years most of 561 00:47:31,839 --> 00:47:41,920 our staff take off between Christmas and New Year's anyway and this um 562 00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:48,480 the schedule facilitates that. Okay. Uh Bill, did we have 14 days last 563 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:54,720 year? Um I know that we've got one of these that's a floating holiday for uh 564 00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:59,440 first responders day, which isn't listed as an optional. Last year we had it 565 00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:05,280 listed as an optional holiday that you could take one or the other of a 566 00:48:02,079 --> 00:48:08,640 different day on here. Um we we've done that historically. Do we 567 00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:13,200 still do that in our handbook? >> Yes. Um in the handbook in the handbook 568 00:48:11,119 --> 00:48:18,000 it'll state that they'll be able to swap out a Veterans Day for another holiday 569 00:48:15,839 --> 00:48:23,359 if they'd prefer. I to my knowledge nobody has ever taken up that. So, so 570 00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:27,040 Veterans Day is we have 13 holidays and Veterans Day is an optional holiday or 571 00:48:25,359 --> 00:48:31,839 we're closed on Veterans Day this year. >> We always have for Well, correction, 572 00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:37,119 last year you added New Year's Eve, which gave us 14 holidays. When they add 573 00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:42,160 Patriots Day, which is the 911 day, it does not add a holiday. 574 00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:46,319 » That's the optional one. Patriots Day is the optional. They can swap it out. 575 00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:53,359 » Okay. Okay. Uh, do we have a motion to approve 576 00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:57,680 the 2027 official holiday schedule as presented? 577 00:48:55,839 --> 00:49:00,480 » We have a motion from Lee. >> Second. 578 00:48:58,319 --> 00:49:05,000 » We have a second from Conrad. We're now open for discussion. Is there any 579 00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,000 discussion? 580 00:49:05,119 --> 00:49:08,319 There being no discussion, all in favor say I. 581 00:49:07,599 --> 00:49:12,000 » I. >> I. 582 00:49:09,119 --> 00:49:18,400 » All oppose. Same sign. The motion carries. Item 8.6, Six discussion action 583 00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:23,200 consideration for creating an ad hoc city of Shavano Park bee committee for 584 00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:26,240 the purpose of maintaining healthy beehives [clears throat] 585 00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:31,920 in a safe environment while promoting educational activities. Uh Peter, are 586 00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:36,880 you going to talk or is this going to be Bill? So I think it's gonna be Bill. 587 00:49:35,699 --> 00:49:43,280 [laughter] Is it gonna be Pet or Bill? 588 00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:49,280 I'm happy to do it. But maybe maybe it's a co-effort. 589 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:52,160 » I'll uh I'll kick it off, Bill. So, one of the things is uh three months ago, 590 00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:56,480 it's hard to believe we've had bees in Shavano Park for three months. But one 591 00:49:54,720 --> 00:50:00,800 of the the key things we started to do is is we want to be more systematic in 592 00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:04,960 the way that we manage those bees. And so, Bill and I have actually put 593 00:50:02,319 --> 00:50:09,040 together almost a tiered type of philosophy. And the first has to do with 594 00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:12,800 establishing and learning. And so that's establish the bees and then making sure 595 00:50:11,119 --> 00:50:16,720 we know how to take care of them. And so Bill and I have actually been working 596 00:50:14,559 --> 00:50:20,880 with Heather Wilps very closely and she has been a great mentor. We've been to 597 00:50:18,240 --> 00:50:25,680 classes as well uh and have learned a lot about bees. One of the things I was 598 00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:29,839 really surprised at though that I didn't expect is one of the things that I've 599 00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:35,440 learned the most is about risk and the risk of bees that uh you know our bees 600 00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:39,440 are relatively tame but we have a lot of bees in Shavano Park that are wild bees 601 00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:43,760 and by kind of going through this process we have learned a lot more about 602 00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:48,079 bees and the risks associated with bees and how to how to manage those bees. 603 00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:52,240 This this the next tier that we were talking about was actually maintain and 604 00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:57,119 protect. And that would involve, you know, making sure that we have the 605 00:50:53,440 --> 00:51:02,079 honeybees and and start to establish a uh a a group that would that would help 606 00:50:59,359 --> 00:51:06,400 do that, make this sustainable. Uh and then tier three would be to promote and 607 00:51:04,240 --> 00:51:11,200 educate. Again, the whole purpose of this is to educate our community of the 608 00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:15,839 importance of bees. uh to talk about insecticides and the harm that that does 609 00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:18,960 to the bees and and to make sure that people understand the importance that 610 00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:23,200 they bring. Uh it's it's actually been interesting 611 00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:28,880 because we've uh both Bill and I have joined the Alamo uh Beekeepers 612 00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:33,599 Association and we have I didn't think anybody else had bees within Shaveo Park 613 00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:38,079 except for uh Heather and we're starting to find out that multiple people have 614 00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:44,960 have bees and and we've met some at the uh the Alamo uh uh beekeepers 615 00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:48,880 association. So the concept here is and what we originally when we started this 616 00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:52,400 is how do you educate people in the general public but one of the things 617 00:51:50,240 --> 00:51:57,520 that we're finding more important is how do you educate beekeepers 618 00:51:55,040 --> 00:52:01,040 uh that have different challenges and interface with different things. So it's 619 00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:05,359 it's the ability to bring a community together so we can learn together. Bill, 620 00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:11,119 what did I leave out and and what else do you want to add to it? Yeah. So, 621 00:52:07,599 --> 00:52:16,559 again, um not to belver it too long, but keeping bees alive and safe is is 622 00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:20,240 challenging. Mostly alive because if you don't have the right conditions, uh 623 00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:27,680 they'll swarm and find another nest and you've lost your hive. Um our hives are 624 00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:31,760 queen from uh very domestic uh bred bees. Believe it or not, they have a 625 00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:36,160 pedigree, so to speak, and they come from Northern California where there's 626 00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:41,119 never been um exposed to Africanized bees. And by having them produce males, 627 00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:45,280 which are called drones, that they're out in the neighborhoods, any wild 628 00:52:43,359 --> 00:52:49,119 hives, actually will breed into them and they'll breed into the very um tame 629 00:52:47,839 --> 00:52:53,920 amount. So, we're actually doing a service there. But, we thought about the 630 00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:59,200 amount of work we do. We check it twice, once uh once every two weeks. It's not 631 00:52:56,000 --> 00:53:05,119 very hard. It's about a an hour's worth of work and uh it's going to be fun, but 632 00:53:02,720 --> 00:53:08,640 we need to be able to sustain that as well as educate that. And so when you're 633 00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:13,119 talking about education programs, we need a few more people to help us out. 634 00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:17,520 Uh there's a resident on Cliffside and one on on Bent Oak that have hives, 635 00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:21,920 believe it or not. And we know there's wild hives around because when we're 636 00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:27,040 doing construction projects, they're in trees and we discover them. Um and we 637 00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:32,079 work through that. So, we're proposing that a staff member, an alderman, three 638 00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:39,040 residents, and a subject matter expert to act as an adviser form this ad hoc 639 00:53:35,119 --> 00:53:44,000 bee um um committee. And they would be tasked with responsibilities such as 640 00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:49,680 maintaining the healthy beehive, uh maintaining a safe beehive site, 641 00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:53,440 coordinating educational activities, helping coordinate Arbor Earth Day 642 00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:59,359 educational activities to include speakers andor a booth andor a visit to 643 00:53:56,480 --> 00:54:03,200 the uh to the beehives itself and monitoring and fulfilling annual 644 00:54:01,119 --> 00:54:07,440 requirements to B City USA. We are B city USA but there are some requirements 645 00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:13,839 that take you to reapplication every time. Uh we we also attended a honeym uh 646 00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:19,200 uh class on last not this Saturday but the Saturday before and it's fascinating 647 00:54:16,559 --> 00:54:23,599 and it would be perfect to have it um pull out some honey in a year or two and 648 00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:27,839 then have a demonstration have uh residents come and and help participate 649 00:54:25,599 --> 00:54:31,920 in that and then pour their honey right into jars and take it home with them. So 650 00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:35,359 we're excited about that. But this is intended also to help with the 651 00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:38,960 continuity of the hive. So there's just not two people trying to take care of 652 00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:43,000 it, but we're spreading the wealth and educating at the same time. 653 00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:48,559 » Sorry. Thank you very much. Okay. Uh at this time, Pete, I'm going to entertain 654 00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:52,640 a motion from you to approve the creation of an ad hoc city of Shavano 655 00:54:50,559 --> 00:54:57,520 Park B committee. I'd like for you to name the one staff member, one alderman, 656 00:54:54,960 --> 00:55:02,160 three residents, and one subject matter expert as advisor for the purposes of 657 00:55:00,240 --> 00:55:04,800 maintaining healthy beehives in a safe environment while promoting educational 658 00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:09,040 activities. >> So moved. 659 00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:13,760 » No, no. You you you get to name six people. You have to name six people. 660 00:55:12,319 --> 00:55:15,119 » Well, we don't have the residents yet. We were gonna 661 00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:22,400 » You don't have the res. >> We're going to throw out, you know, a 662 00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:26,240 sane and a castinet and is the alderman. No, no, I don't think so. I I think that 663 00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:30,800 what you can do is that you can name your staff member, your alderman, and 664 00:55:28,559 --> 00:55:34,800 your subject matter expert, and leave it to the three of them to name the three 665 00:55:32,720 --> 00:55:38,000 uh residents if that's acceptable to council. 666 00:55:36,079 --> 00:55:43,040 » So, I'd be the alderman, it would be Bill for the city. It would be uh 667 00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:47,760 Heather Wilt for uh for our >> Okay. So, state that as a motion and 668 00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:52,880 then also say that the three will designate the three residents. Uh so the 669 00:55:50,799 --> 00:56:00,079 motion is motion to approve the creation of an ad hoc city of Shavano Park B 670 00:55:55,680 --> 00:56:05,680 committee with uh Bill Hill as the staff member. Uh myself as the alderman uh 671 00:56:03,599 --> 00:56:09,920 three residents to be named at a separate time 672 00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:16,319 and uh the subject matter expert would be Heather Wilt. 673 00:56:12,319 --> 00:56:20,240 » Okay. uh as as uh the for the purpose of maintaining healthy beehives in a safe 674 00:56:18,079 --> 00:56:24,480 environment while promoting educational activities. 675 00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:29,680 » Okay. You said at a later time uh the three residents to be selected by the 676 00:56:26,720 --> 00:56:34,480 three members of the committee or to come back to council. 677 00:56:32,079 --> 00:56:39,440 » Uh >> okay. To be named by the committee. 678 00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:43,920 Okay. No, that's okay. Great. Okay. So, we have a motion to approve the 679 00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:46,720 creation. Do we have a second? >> Second. 680 00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:51,280 » We have a second from Conrad Christian. I don't think you're going to be on this 681 00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:55,599 committee. Sorry. We have a motion to approve the creation of an ad hoc city 682 00:56:53,040 --> 00:57:00,240 of Shabano Park B committee uh consisting of Bill Hill as a staff 683 00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:04,400 member. uh Pete Miller as an alderman, three 684 00:57:02,559 --> 00:57:08,559 residents to be maimed by the other members of the committee, one subject 685 00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:13,040 matter expert, Heather Wilk, uh for the purpose of maintaining 686 00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:17,599 healthy beehives in the city of Shavano Park, promoting educational activities. 687 00:57:15,839 --> 00:57:24,960 Um we have a motion and a second. 688 00:57:20,559 --> 00:57:27,760 Do we have any discussion? There being no discussion, all in favor 689 00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:31,040 say I. >> I. 690 00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:37,040 All oppose. Same sign. The motion carries. 40. 691 00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:40,960 Okay. Item 8.5, discussion, action, boards and commissions, appointment, 692 00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:44,640 designation of council subcommittee members to review and provide 693 00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:48,559 recommendations. Uh Kristen, do you want to do this or do 694 00:57:47,119 --> 00:57:56,079 you want me to do this? Okay. Every year we uh in the August time period name a 695 00:57:52,880 --> 00:58:00,880 number of people I guess September name new members to our various committees. 696 00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:04,880 the uh planning and zoning commission, the board of adjustments, the tree and 697 00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:09,280 beautifification committee, the water committee, the investment committee. Uh 698 00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:16,799 there are 18 slots that are available this year. We have already had 14 or 15 699 00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:20,400 um applications for those committees. Uh what we have been doing the last several 700 00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:26,160 years is that there have been two council members who have been reviewing 701 00:58:23,359 --> 00:58:30,079 the applications uh having interviews with the people so that we have an 702 00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:35,040 opportunity to know the people who are coming on board uh and explain what the 703 00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:41,599 committee system is about and it's been really quite successful. Um 704 00:58:38,799 --> 00:58:45,280 Pete uh I'm uh you seem to have drawn the black bean and you were the 705 00:58:43,119 --> 00:58:52,640 perpetual member on this so I'm going to that you make a motion to appoint um 706 00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:57,760 two people to the boards and subcom uh commission subcommittee. 707 00:58:55,440 --> 00:59:02,400 » So yeah, I'll be I'll be glad to volunteer again. I uh I think it it 708 00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:06,480 brings a lot to be able to to sit down and really talk to people and understand 709 00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:11,599 what their desires are and to understand how the where the best fit for them is. 710 00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:15,680 Uh, you know, I one of the person that I learned a lot from was Maggie and uh and 711 00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:20,079 she played the other part of the role that we had and since uh Christian has 712 00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:23,680 actually taken Maggie's role, I I think he needs to take her his role here. So, 713 00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:24,880 if he's willing to be I'd be honored, too. 714 00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:30,079 » Okay. Thank you. >> So, let's see your motion. So, the 715 00:59:27,599 --> 00:59:36,480 motion is to approve the appointment of Alderman Pete Miller and uh and uh 716 00:59:33,839 --> 00:59:41,680 Christristen Christian uh to the board of commissions and sub to the board and 717 00:59:38,799 --> 00:59:47,520 commission subcommittee. >> Okay, we have a motion from uh from Pete 718 00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:54,240 with a second from from [clears throat] Lee. Do we have any discussion? 719 00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:58,720 There being disc no discussion, all in favor say I. I. I. 720 00:59:56,880 --> 01:00:06,960 » All oppose. Same sign. The motion carries. 40 O. U. Without objection. 721 01:00:04,559 --> 01:00:10,559 We're going to dispense with it. We're going to pull item four discussion 722 01:00:08,559 --> 01:00:16,000 action approval of city group medical dental vision life insurance for fiscal 723 01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:20,720 year 2027 and authorizing this city manager to enter into an agreement. Do I 724 01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:24,880 have any objection to pulling that item from the agenda? There being no 725 01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:28,119 objection, item 8.4 four is pulled from the agenda. 726 01:00:28,319 --> 01:00:37,839 Uh brings us to item 8.1 discussion action ordinance 0 2026001 727 01:00:34,799 --> 01:00:41,520 establishing a water supply fee for water customers of the city of Shavano 728 01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:46,640 Park system for the purpose of funding the purchase of Edwards aer water 729 01:00:44,319 --> 01:00:54,799 acreage fee for the use of the water system. U Al I'm going to recognize you 730 01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:54,799 and Bill. Who's going to speak first? 731 01:00:54,942 --> 01:01:00,000 » [clears throat] >> So, in general, I'll kind of tee it up 732 01:00:57,119 --> 01:01:04,480 and then Al's going to come up and back stop me, but he's really going to talk 733 01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:07,119 about the town hall and kind of how that went from there. 734 01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:13,359 » Yeah. I'm also going to recognize the vice chairman if he has something to add 735 01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:18,839 to this as well as >> and Steve's here, Steve Fleming as well. 736 01:01:15,119 --> 01:01:18,839 » Yeah, Steve as well. 737 01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:29,359 Okay. So, most of you know this, but the Edwards Aquifer Authority, which is a 738 01:01:25,119 --> 01:01:35,599 regulatory uh body, governs the use of water from Edwards Aquifer, and it 739 01:01:31,839 --> 01:01:41,040 assesses pumping restrictions each day during the times of the lower aquifer 740 01:01:39,119 --> 01:01:45,200 and the droughts to limit the plumbing, the pumping, and the use of the water 741 01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:52,480 rights in order to maintain an adequate water level in the aquifer. For example, 742 01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:59,520 in stage three restrictions, if you have 100 acre feet of rights, 743 01:01:56,079 --> 01:02:06,160 you're restricted 30% and you would only able to be used uh 7% 744 01:02:03,599 --> 01:02:10,319 70% of that. It turns out that I think it was today 745 01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:14,640 or yesterday we actually moved into stage one for the first time in a long 746 01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:17,760 time. So that's that's very good. But the hot summer is getting ready to 747 01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:25,760 happen. Um so um in this briefing again I've got 748 01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:31,680 I pulled about seven or eight slides. I did not include the entire 749 01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:36,640 slide deck from the the town hall that we did. We do have them available and we 750 01:02:34,799 --> 01:02:40,240 could refer back to them if someone has a question on it as we move forward from 751 01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:45,119 there. But 752 01:02:42,799 --> 01:02:49,280 basically every year the water we have a water advisory committee. is made up of 753 01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:54,799 eight residents of Shav Park. They all live in the service area that the water 754 01:02:52,079 --> 01:02:59,760 system provides. We typically meet monthly. We develop the budget. We go 755 01:02:56,960 --> 01:03:05,200 through amendments. We look at all the advice that needed to operate on the 756 01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:09,680 water system and we always look at the amount of pumpage of water that we have 757 01:03:07,839 --> 01:03:16,400 on a year-to- basis. In fact, we look at it monthly and uh then we assess that. 758 01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:19,920 We've uh probably been assessing the amount of water rights authorized for 759 01:03:18,079 --> 01:03:29,119 the city of Shavon Park to pump since the EA was formed in January of 2001. 760 01:03:24,079 --> 01:03:36,079 Uh in that year we were issued a um a initial permit regular permit of 541 761 01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:43,839 acre feet. acref foot as you can see on the second 762 01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:50,079 line there is 3,00 325,000 gallons plus I'm told that back in the day that we 763 01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:55,359 used to pump over 1,000 acre feet sometimes 900 but I've actually seen 764 01:03:52,480 --> 01:04:01,119 records where we've had 1100 acre feet pumped and and over time actual usage 765 01:03:59,119 --> 01:04:06,480 has gone down because people are cognizant of the aquafer and they're 766 01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:13,520 they're selfconserving so to speak just to work through all that. But the 541 767 01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:21,760 was not enough. And so there was an initial surge in 2001, 2002, and 2003 to 768 01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:28,799 purchase almost 300 more acre feet. Um we we just recently gained some records 769 01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:35,760 um where in 2003 we purchased water rights for approximately $880 770 01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:41,039 per acre foot. And so that's where we stand. In the last three years, as 771 01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:47,440 highlighted in the bottom right corner, we have had to subleasase an additional 772 01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:55,039 315 acre feet in 2023, 135 in 2024, 773 01:04:50,079 --> 01:04:59,920 and 266 acre feet in 2025. We are um projecting already this year that we're 774 01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:06,799 going to have to lease between 100 and 200 acre feet this year. And so 775 01:05:04,319 --> 01:05:16,319 part of the consideration is you know are you able to sub lease and what is 776 01:05:09,359 --> 01:05:20,960 the future going to um um entail. So in the last few years we've been able to at 777 01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:25,440 the last minute subleas from people is not very easy to do. You got to really 778 01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:31,920 knock on doors and find them. But we've been able to do it at a reasonable cost. 779 01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:37,599 So the proposal to um basic by by the whack is you know we're never going to 780 01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:43,760 get to where we buy enough acre feet at least now to where we can take care of 781 01:05:40,319 --> 01:05:49,440 every single year's drought but we can move ourselves closer to that sweet spot 782 01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:55,680 where if we have to sublease we're not trying to sublease 300 or 250 or a lot. 783 01:05:53,280 --> 01:06:02,000 we're we're at a much level much smaller level because we don't know in 10 years 784 01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:06,240 or 15 or 20 what the availability of of subleasased property is going to be in 785 01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:11,039 terms of water rights. The other thing that's occurring is the Edwards Aquifer 786 01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:15,760 Authority is constantly changing the rules. So it used to be when I first got 787 01:06:14,319 --> 01:06:19,680 here if you didn't pump it you didn't have to pay for it. And then you if you 788 01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:22,559 didn't pump it you could get credits for it. Now it doesn't matter whether you 789 01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:26,559 pump it or you don't pump it, you have to pay for it. We also know that in the 790 01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:31,359 broad scheme of things, SAS is trying to buy thousands and thousands of acre 791 01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:37,119 feet. I know uh Leyon Valley is trying to find uh acre feet. New developments 792 01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:41,839 that come in um and they want Sauls to provide the water rights to water 793 01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:45,920 service. Sauls will agree to do that only if the developer comes in with the 794 01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:51,119 water rights that they go purchase that they can then provide. So water is a 795 01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:56,400 commodity that is going to become scarce and so generally speaking we think we 796 01:06:53,839 --> 01:07:00,559 have a small window of opportunity even though the prices have gone up. That's 797 01:06:58,319 --> 01:07:08,319 what we're going to do. Next slide. You can see this slide shows that in 2003 798 01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:16,079 that uh line represents $880. And then the from 2016 to 18 to 799 01:07:13,119 --> 01:07:24,240 basically 24 and 25 those are known um price um price levels. So in 2018 when I 800 01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:28,799 first got here we bought some acre feet for uh like $5,600 801 01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:32,880 and and that's what that in the middle of the chart shows. And you can see that 802 01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:39,599 that price has gone up almost double since then. Anyway, 803 01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:44,319 um again, this is um if you were just looking at it this year, could we 804 01:07:42,319 --> 01:07:48,240 sublease more acre feet? And the answer of course is yes. 805 01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:51,680 In 20 or 30 years, we don't know. And this is all about protecting the water 806 01:07:50,216 --> 01:07:56,079 [clears throat] system. I don't have it in my brief, but if you were to look at 807 01:07:53,359 --> 01:08:01,039 the slides where you show the comparison of Shavana Park's water rates to the 808 01:07:59,119 --> 01:08:06,160 city of San Antonio's water rates, you'll see that we're fairly comp 809 01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:11,920 compatible and and and pretty much consistent at the lower levels even 810 01:08:08,559 --> 01:08:19,040 though SAWS greatly subsidizes all their users that are in lower economic status 811 01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:27,040 or even to a degree low water users. But once you get to past 12,000 gallons, 812 01:08:23,759 --> 01:08:32,400 18,000 gallons, you're talking about trip double, triple, quadruple the price 813 01:08:29,759 --> 01:08:36,159 in terms of what SAS charges their residents. And a big part of that is a 814 01:08:34,319 --> 01:08:41,600 water supply fee, which is similar to what we're we're uh we're we're trying 815 01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:45,520 to apply, but ours at a at a much stable uh level. So again, I've already kind of 816 01:08:43,440 --> 01:08:49,759 talked about we're in a periodic persistent drought, increased 817 01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:53,359 development, limited water rights. It doesn't actually influence what we can 818 01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:59,040 pump out of the ground. We can pump as much as out of the ground as we want. We 819 01:08:56,480 --> 01:09:03,120 just get um fined and then we have to pay for the water rights in rears plus 820 01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:07,759 the fines and the embarrassment that would occur. But you know what we're 821 01:09:05,440 --> 01:09:16,000 really trying to do is protect the water rights for the long term. Next slide. 822 01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:23,120 So, we bought some um water rights last year for 823 01:09:18,719 --> 01:09:29,759 um a little over 10,000. Most of the uh the sellers were asking 14,000, 12,000 824 01:09:27,279 --> 01:09:36,319 and through some tough negotiations, Johnny and I um we got those for 1028 825 01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:42,640 and and 105. Um, we're for budgetary purposes we're 826 01:09:39,839 --> 01:09:48,400 saying 11,000. We may not be able to get 150 acre feet for 11,000, but if we did, 827 01:09:44,719 --> 01:09:54,159 that would be 1.65 uh million dollars. And the water utility fund does not have 828 01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:59,040 $1.65 million hanging around. That's about what our balance is, but we have a 829 01:09:57,120 --> 01:10:03,679 capital replacement fund. We have other infrastructures, and we certainly don't 830 01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:06,719 want to draw down to zero. So, we're looking at financing this to a degree, 831 01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:10,400 which would mean there would be an annual principal payment plus an 832 01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:15,199 interest payment. The terms of that have not been 833 01:10:12,159 --> 01:10:20,960 finalized yet. So, for just for grins, we've used five years at 3.75 because 834 01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:26,159 that's what our money market is is is uh we're making in that. Now, there's been 835 01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:30,719 some upward um inflation, I mean upward gains in the money market. So what if uh 836 01:10:28,159 --> 01:10:35,920 the terms were more like 4% and we spread it out six years or 4% for five 837 01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:39,679 years. You know this is something that in the 838 01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:45,120 future will be determined once we buy the water rights what's the exact terms 839 01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:52,560 but for today's purposes we just have some illustrations here and you know 840 01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:57,679 shorter in a way is better to to unencumber the the water system and the 841 01:10:55,199 --> 01:11:01,840 city from this debt but at the same time if you can extend it then that reduces 842 01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:07,840 the payment and so a lot of that will depend upon the cost of the water and 843 01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:11,920 how that flushes out at the very end. So again, these aren't meant to be this 844 01:11:09,679 --> 01:11:16,560 is what we're what the exact terms are, but if you look at that, that's a range 845 01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:22,719 of 365,000 to $318,000. 846 01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:26,960 So we go to the next slide. >> That's per month. 847 01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:32,000 » Yeah. Per per year. 848 01:11:30,239 --> 01:11:35,199 » Oh, right. I'm sorry. Per year for the five years. 849 01:11:33,679 --> 01:11:42,560 So now we're what we're doing is we're looking at okay well how do we recover 850 01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:46,560 enough funds to repay the principal and the interest in a reasonable amount of 851 01:11:44,159 --> 01:11:50,640 time. And so we came up with actually nine options that the water advisory 852 01:11:48,719 --> 01:11:55,360 committee um looked at over a three-month period of time. And so what 853 01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:59,600 you're going to see is option number nine here. And prior the next slide is 854 01:11:57,679 --> 01:12:05,120 going to be eight, but I'm just going to cover this one here briefly. 855 01:12:02,480 --> 01:12:10,000 Part of the problem is is the more you charge for water, the less users will 856 01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:15,040 use intuitively. 857 01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:19,600 Um, so again, if you're actually looking to pay back a known debt and we don't 858 01:12:17,440 --> 01:12:24,640 have economies of scale like SAS does, SAS has got what 400,000 uh customers 859 01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:29,280 that they residential customers that they provide water to plus commercial. 860 01:12:27,360 --> 01:12:36,320 And so, you know, fluctuations here and there don't have a lot of effect for 861 01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:41,040 them, but has some um this first um proposal option which is not the one 862 01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:45,360 that whack recommended the water advisory committee but is one to be 863 01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:53,560 considered provides the most certainty in the fees collected. In other words, 864 01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:53,560 if we know that we have um 684 865 01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:59,840 um customers, 866 01:12:57,199 --> 01:13:04,880 » basically residential properties, they each have a meter. And then if you 867 01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:09,120 multiply that by 12, some of them are in tier one for a month, some are in tier 868 01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:14,640 two, some in tier three. And you can see that in tier six, which is over 100,000 869 01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:21,440 gallons of water used, you know, there are 153 months where one resident is 870 01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:25,679 used over 100,000 gallons. We actually make the most money when they use 871 01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:32,159 100,000 gallons because it doesn't cost near as much to produce the water as it 872 01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:38,560 does to um pump it. So, um, as to collect on it, but $36 per household, 873 01:13:37,040 --> 01:13:41,840 residential households, and there's a couple commercials we'd have to add in 874 01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:47,199 there, [clears throat] provides us $36,720, 875 01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:50,960 and that is a known that is that will not be var variable. That's the that's 876 01:13:49,199 --> 01:13:56,239 the pros and advantage to this is you have a 877 01:13:53,679 --> 01:14:00,239 fixed income. But you notice that 306 still is short 878 01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:07,280 the range that we showed you. Go back to the slide before. The slide before that 879 01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:14,960 range is 312 to 365. So go back one slide. I mean no forward two. 880 01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:20,239 So again, this is just the 36 gets you into the ballpark. It doesn't get you to 881 01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:26,496 the whole cost of that. And uh next slide, option two. 882 01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:31,600 Here we looked at a uh a hybrid in [clears throat] which we charge each 883 01:14:27,679 --> 01:14:38,239 household $30. And then for tiers three, four, five, and six, there's an 884 01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:45,440 additional 15 or an additional 35 or an additional uh 25, 35, or 45. It's not 885 01:14:41,440 --> 01:14:50,880 cumulative. Okay? So if you were Sauls, you would pay the 30 plus the 15. Then 886 01:14:47,679 --> 01:14:55,880 if you were tier 40 plus 25, plus 35, etc. So um 887 01:14:56,400 --> 01:15:01,679 um basically you can see the little call 888 01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:05,840 out box. The estimated revenues will float based upon the weather and demand. 889 01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:11,360 So if you have a real wet year and you don't have as much um water used, you 890 01:15:09,360 --> 01:15:17,120 won't even pull in 307. That's the danger behind this one. But this does 891 01:15:14,239 --> 01:15:23,360 distribute some of the cost, the extra cost for the additional water to the 892 01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:29,360 higher water users. Now, uh, tier three, Johnny, correct me if I'm wrong. I think 893 01:15:25,440 --> 01:15:33,199 that's over, is that over 25,000 gallons or 20,000? 894 01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:38,960 Do you remember? Okay. Somewhere right there. Um, if you 895 01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:43,120 use 20,000 gallons, 22,000 gallons, you're still tier two. Most of 896 01:15:41,822 --> 01:15:48,840 [clears throat] our Okay, there you go. 30,000. 897 01:15:44,719 --> 01:15:48,840 » 30,000. Go back one. 898 01:15:50,480 --> 01:15:59,199 So you look at tier three, four, five, there's not a lot of revenue in those on 899 01:15:56,000 --> 01:16:05,520 the uh on those lines there. And again, it'll float from there, but it does cost 900 01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:12,000 share from there. And if you look at out of the 901 01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:18,800 numerous monthly bills, over 6,000 of the bills were tier one, 902 01:16:15,120 --> 01:16:25,280 tier two, and probably only about 2500 are tiers 2, three, four, I mean three, 903 01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:30,159 four, five, and six. So I will tell you that the whack you looked at a model 904 01:16:27,679 --> 01:16:34,480 that was strictly based upon tiers. So you started paying at tier one, tier 905 01:16:32,480 --> 01:16:38,960 two, tier three, tier four, tier five, and tier six. All different amounts. We 906 01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:42,960 considered how difficult that would be to administer 907 01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:48,560 and then the fluctuations that would occur on them as we move forward. And we 908 01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:54,320 thought that this this hybrid model would be about 909 01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:59,360 a balance. Next slide. This shows you the whole tier schedule 910 01:16:56,480 --> 01:17:03,920 that we currently have. You can see the biggest up uptick in 911 01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:10,320 prices at at tier six after you use 100,000 gallons. Each um thousand 912 01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:13,920 gallons cost you 111 um 913 01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:19,360 94. Here's where you get to the specifics. 914 01:17:15,679 --> 01:17:28,239 24% of our customers bills are uh are tier one. 48 are tier 2. That's a total 915 01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:35,199 of 72% of the customers are all tier one, tier two and would not receive th 916 01:17:30,480 --> 01:17:40,480 those tiered um in influx. Any questions on that? 917 01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:44,719 Okay, next slide. Okay, turn it over to Al. Sorry to keep 918 01:17:42,239 --> 01:17:49,199 you up there so long. It's it's a pleasure to be with you tonight. We had 919 01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:53,600 the privilege of holding a town hall meeting last Monday. We had a very good 920 01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:58,880 attendance. We had considerably more people there then than we do here 921 01:17:56,000 --> 01:18:03,120 tonight. Uh lots of good questions, a lot of interest. 922 01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:07,920 Water issues have certainly become high visibility in the state of Texas. Corpus 923 01:18:06,159 --> 01:18:14,400 Christi, many other cities are having water issues. As we build out more in 924 01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:19,199 this area, such as a Toyota plant, you know, computer facilities, etc., and 925 01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:22,480 just simply people moving into the area, there's going to be a lot of pressure on 926 01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:28,880 the water and there aren't going to be any more tunnel water rights. So, when 927 01:18:26,159 --> 01:18:33,520 we say we're leasing water, it's a rent. We pay rent for one year. When we 928 01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:38,080 purchase water rights, it is a contracted amount and we actually have a 929 01:18:36,239 --> 01:18:44,080 deed to it just like you're buying a piece of property. So we had a very good 930 01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:48,800 presentation, good discussion at the uh water advisory committee, received 931 01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:53,520 extremely positive feedback from the uh from the citizens and I I was shocked at 932 01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:57,920 the end we actually received applause. So I I believe Alderman Miller and 933 01:18:55,280 --> 01:19:02,560 Alderman Lions were both there and if you have questions and you'd like a more 934 01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:07,679 unbiased opinion, I'm sure either of them could help. Um, so a lot of the 935 01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:13,120 feedback I've received both in the town hall and also from citizens that live 936 01:19:10,239 --> 01:19:18,719 around me is people appreciate the fact that Shavano Park allows the citizens of 937 01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:23,679 Chevo Park to make their own informed decisions as to what they want to do 938 01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:29,280 about watering. Do they water? When do they water? How much do they water? 939 01:19:26,239 --> 01:19:34,400 Obviously, we have a progressive uh charge for it. So the more you use, the 940 01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:38,000 more expensive it gets per thousand. And that's why the water advisory committee 941 01:19:36,080 --> 01:19:42,719 felt like putting a little bit of additional burden on the higher ones was 942 01:19:40,239 --> 01:19:45,600 a fair way to do that. So I'd be happy to entertain any questions that anybody 943 01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:49,415 might have. >> Okay. Well, uh, I'm gonna ask the first 944 01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:53,040 question before I go down the line, [clears throat] 945 01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:59,679 and that is, um, you know, the the the numbers of 15, 25, 35, and 45 946 01:19:57,600 --> 01:20:04,400 compared to what Bill showed us on his water bill just seemed remarkably 947 01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:12,480 reasonable. Uh, as you went through those tiers, did you happen to consider 948 01:20:07,199 --> 01:20:17,440 the economic impact of going 20, 30, 40, and 50? We [clears throat] we looked at 949 01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:21,600 innumerable options. Um >> there was a lot of debate about it. This 950 01:20:19,440 --> 01:20:25,840 was the one that we felt was probably the best balance because the more you 951 01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:28,800 put into that, the more uncertainty there is as to whether you're going to 952 01:20:27,199 --> 01:20:34,800 receive that total revenue at the end of the year. And if we have a dry season, 953 01:20:32,239 --> 01:20:39,120 our income drops significantly. I'm sorry, a wet season, our income drops 954 01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:43,760 significantly. So water advisory committee looked at lots of options. 955 01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:50,000 This was our best judgment. Okay. So, so Bill, uh, you know, there's about a 956 01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:56,000 $13,000 delta if you if you had the same the same 28% of the users using those 957 01:20:53,920 --> 01:21:01,520 same numbers that if you raise the fee by $5, you know, this is getting us a 958 01:20:59,760 --> 01:21:08,880 long way there. It's not a perfect solution. It just kind of gets us close 959 01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:15,760 to where we hope to be. And how much h how much heavy lifting do you 960 01:21:12,320 --> 01:21:25,199 need or do you feel like we need to help provide in this case case to get you 961 01:21:18,480 --> 01:21:31,600 toward that 112 to or 312 to $365,000 does raising these just slightly u you 962 01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:40,159 know less than a cup of Starbucks a month to go from all the way up to $50 963 01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:43,920 at that highest tier instead of 45. Is that something that we should be 964 01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:49,280 considering or do you feel comfortable that at these numbers that y'all are 965 01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:53,199 recommending for the tiered basis that we're going to be able to service that 966 01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:58,080 debt? Because the last thing we want to do is is have citizens that are aren't 967 01:21:56,080 --> 01:22:03,199 on the water system saying, "Well, golly, the debt just seems to keep going 968 01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:05,920 on and nobody pays it." >> Can I offer part of the answer to that? 969 01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:11,840 Yeah, go ahead Al. >> Um, you know, we looked at various 970 01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:16,560 options. Um, we felt that this was the best balance we could strike. Some of 971 01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:20,159 the numbers are imprecise. We do not know exactly what we're going to be 972 01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:26,960 paying per acre foot to purchase the water. So, to try to be precise in this 973 01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:31,280 does not appear to be the best approach at this point in time. We feel this will 974 01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:36,239 get us in the ballpark. We felt like it was a fair balance and that was why we 975 01:22:33,840 --> 01:22:40,800 chose the numbers. It clearly is council's option to do it any way you 976 01:22:38,480 --> 01:22:43,679 choose, but this was what we presented to the town hall and what we received 977 01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:48,080 good feedback on. >> Okay. And and great feedback. I I'll 978 01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:51,440 just tell you the truth, but when I saw these numbers, Bill, and they got 979 01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:57,520 presented until you explained them more clearly right now, I thought that at the 980 01:22:54,239 --> 01:23:01,040 uh tier six number, we were paying $120. I thought it was accumulative and it was 981 01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:07,600 like, well, you know, you're you're using over 100,000 gallons of water. I 982 01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:13,040 guess that 120 as your impact fee plus the 30 doesn't necessarily offend me, 983 01:23:10,239 --> 01:23:18,800 but I just want to raise that because it it 984 01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:24,239 comes to how much heavy lifting are we having to do on the backside in order to 985 01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:29,760 make the budget work when it comes time to pay to service $365,000 986 01:23:27,280 --> 01:23:34,560 a year out of the water system back to the general fund. 987 01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:38,400 Yeah, I think uh chairman is is right. It's uncertain. This gets us in the 988 01:23:36,159 --> 01:23:42,159 ballpark. >> Okay. 989 01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:46,880 » And you know, again, we know if you add if you if you increase the uh the fees 990 01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:51,440 significantly for three, four, five, or you even add some for two, you're going 991 01:23:48,960 --> 01:23:54,080 to reduce the uh you're going to reduce the usage. And then what you're going to 992 01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:58,480 do is you're going to find yourself short on the operations and maintenance. 993 01:23:57,199 --> 01:24:02,800 And then you'll probably have to go back and raise a fee. So, you gota, you know, 994 01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:07,120 This is probably an initial starting point in balance and then you might go 995 01:24:05,199 --> 01:24:10,960 adjust later but you need to be more informed. 996 01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:15,040 » Okay. Um, Alderman Miller has requested that I entertain a motion to approve 997 01:24:12,719 --> 01:24:19,920 ordinance 02026001 establishing a water supply fee for the 998 01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:24,400 water water customers of Shavano Park system for the purpose of funding the 999 01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:28,880 purchase of the Edwards ARER uh acre feed for use in the water system 1000 01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:33,280 with >> and I would like to I would like to add 1001 01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:38,320 a little bit to that. So the water so in addition to that uh the water supply fee 1002 01:24:36,239 --> 01:24:43,360 would be incorporated uh the water advisory committee 1003 01:24:40,719 --> 01:24:49,199 recommendation of option two which is a hybrid model that would include a $30 1004 01:24:45,840 --> 01:24:56,239 flat fee plus a tiered approach a three four five six user approach and that the 1005 01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:58,960 $30 flat fee shall be discontinued at the time that the purchase loan is paid 1006 01:24:58,239 --> 01:25:03,520 off. >> What about the balance of the fees? 1007 01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:07,199 What about the balance of the fees for the tiers three through six? 1008 01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:11,520 » Yeah. So it would it would be the recommendation that the water uh 1009 01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:16,480 advisory committee has made for three three four five and six. 1010 01:25:13,760 --> 01:25:20,960 » All of them fall off after the loan is paid off. 1011 01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:24,880 » All of them sunset. >> That wasn't what I heard, but I just 1012 01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:30,560 want to clarify. All of them sunset. >> Uh so I would look for either way you 1013 01:25:29,120 --> 01:25:34,400 choose to do it. I don't think it makes a a whole lot of difference between the 1014 01:25:32,320 --> 01:25:37,440 two. It's easy to sunset the whole thing. 1015 01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:39,120 » Okay. Is that your [clears throat] motion? 1016 01:25:37,920 --> 01:25:41,199 » So, sun sunset. >> Okay. Do I have a second? 1017 01:25:40,560 --> 01:25:45,199 » Second. >> Okay. We're now open for discussion. We 1018 01:25:43,199 --> 01:25:51,679 have a motion from Pete and a second from Lee to approve ordinance 02026001 1019 01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:55,120 establishing a water supply fee for water customers in the Shavano Park 1020 01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:59,679 water system for the purposes of funding the purchase of Edwards Arford Authority 1021 01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:06,159 acre feed for the use of the water system using hybrid option two with a 1022 01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:09,760 sunset of all fees at the retirement of the debt. 1023 01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:12,960 » Okay. Okay. We're now open for discussions. 1024 01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:16,560 Christian, >> uh, thank you very much for the great 1025 01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:21,600 presentation and and I wanted to say what a good job that uh, that you all 1026 01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:26,800 did for the town hall. you did a phenomenal job in presenting the 1027 01:26:23,679 --> 01:26:32,800 information in a consumable way for the citizens who came um to hear uh the 1028 01:26:30,400 --> 01:26:38,400 proposal as well as to ask questions and and I think that there was both positive 1029 01:26:35,679 --> 01:26:41,679 replies to to the presentation and also concerned citizens who asked some very 1030 01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:45,440 good and tough questions because they were concerns and you handled them 1031 01:26:43,199 --> 01:26:50,480 brilliantly and I and at the end of it those folks who had concerns you really 1032 01:26:47,600 --> 01:26:55,440 assuaged them. So, um, kudos to you on that. Um, I thank you very much, uh, 1033 01:26:53,199 --> 01:26:58,880 Alderan Miller for bringing up that additions because I think that was 1034 01:26:57,199 --> 01:27:02,960 feedback that we also heard at the town hall about creating a sunset to make 1035 01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:07,600 sure that there's a finite amount of time that those fees will apply. So, 1036 01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:10,560 thank you for adding that addition and I really want to commend your efforts and 1037 01:27:08,960 --> 01:27:14,639 say thank you. >> Okay. Um, Pete. 1038 01:27:12,719 --> 01:27:19,040 » Yeah. So just a comment, one of the things that I I really appreciate too is 1039 01:27:16,400 --> 01:27:23,760 the vision and the forward looking. As I look around San Antonio, this is a fast 1040 01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:27,920 growing area and as you look at the fast growing area, you know, the the water 1041 01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:31,600 that people need is going to continue to increase. So now actually, you know, we 1042 01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:35,600 would have done this sooner, that would have been great, but but now is the time 1043 01:27:33,440 --> 01:27:39,040 to to secure these. >> Okay. Thank you, Pete. Any further 1044 01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:42,719 discussion? There are no further discussion. Um, all 1045 01:27:41,440 --> 01:27:43,679 in favor say I. >> I. 1046 01:27:43,199 --> 01:27:47,280 » I. >> I I. 1047 01:27:44,320 --> 01:27:51,600 » All uh all oppose. Same sign. The motion carries. 50. Uh want to recognize 1048 01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:56,239 Alderman Buddy Alamman has now made it from jury 1049 01:27:53,679 --> 01:27:59,120 duty. Thank you for joining us racing across to the north side in order to 1050 01:27:58,400 --> 01:28:06,719 join us. >> Park cops behind me. [laughter] 1051 01:28:03,040 --> 01:28:13,840 » I I hope not. I hope not. Okay. Brings us to item 8.2. Uh buddy, we've now 1052 01:28:09,760 --> 01:28:22,560 completed items 8.4 which was uh pulled from the agenda 8.5 6 7 8 9 10 and 8.1. 1053 01:28:19,600 --> 01:28:27,760 So we are now back to item 8.2. >> Thank you. 1054 01:28:23,199 --> 01:28:33,440 » Okay. Uh item 8.2 Two discussion action ordinance 02026002 1055 01:28:30,480 --> 01:28:39,280 amending chapter 36 zoning to allow automotive quick leave service facility 1056 01:28:35,840 --> 01:28:44,880 CC as a special use permit in B1, B2, and office districts. This is a second 1057 01:28:41,440 --> 01:28:50,451 reading. Um I'm going to recognize uh Dave, Bill, and Curtis for purposes of 1058 01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:51,360 this. [clears throat] 1059 01:28:50,480 --> 01:28:55,600 » Thank you, mayor, and thank you, councel. Uh I have a presentation that 1060 01:28:53,840 --> 01:28:58,239 was largely presented last month. I'm happy to go through it if you want 1061 01:28:57,199 --> 01:29:00,880 because there's towards the end of the meeting if you want I can just hit the 1062 01:28:59,280 --> 01:29:03,760 highlights of stuff you asked for us to return back but I'm happy to run through 1063 01:29:02,480 --> 01:29:08,960 it. Mayor, >> uh I think that for purposes of our 1064 01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:13,920 citizenry it help if you did kind of a part of it lead us through it and then 1065 01:29:11,199 --> 01:29:17,679 we certainly want to hear back the u the feedback items that we had extended. 1066 01:29:17,120 --> 01:29:22,400 Um >> and and Paul uh you may have comments as 1067 01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:28,400 well during this section as well because we do want to consider the noise outdoor 1068 01:29:25,280 --> 01:29:32,560 seating spacing and uh any additional exceptions that may be want to be 1069 01:29:30,320 --> 01:29:37,440 considered. >> Okay. Well, on June 22nd, uh this was 1070 01:29:35,920 --> 01:29:41,440 taken front of city council. A public hearing was held and thereafter it was 1071 01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:45,440 the ordinance. Uh this is kind of a package of two agenda items. I'm going 1072 01:29:42,880 --> 01:29:48,639 to cover both 8.2 2 and 8.3. They really kind of move together. They're either 1073 01:29:47,199 --> 01:29:52,400 disapproved or approved together. That that make sense logically. But this 1074 01:29:50,560 --> 01:29:56,000 ordinance 003 first reading was approved. City staff asked the vice 1075 01:29:54,480 --> 01:29:59,920 chair David Zay of the planning zoning to come and attend. The chairman was 1076 01:29:57,520 --> 01:30:04,960 unable to make it. Uh Kyle Horland today. Um council wanted assurances from 1077 01:30:02,639 --> 01:30:08,080 the developer Latty Bitterblue that the future development of the town homes and 1078 01:30:06,239 --> 01:30:10,880 pit would not be negatively affected. We you'll see in this presentation that 1079 01:30:09,360 --> 01:30:13,040 came back with that. and the council wanted assurances that the oil 1080 01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:16,159 collection methods would meet all the environmental standards and you'll see 1081 01:30:14,400 --> 01:30:21,360 that we have some information on that. So the lot that we're talking about 1082 01:30:17,520 --> 01:30:28,639 again uh is lot 2314 in the Pondill East commercial and that is right behind the 1083 01:30:24,159 --> 01:30:32,639 Starbucks uh on the loop 164 uh frontage road. 1084 01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:36,000 The history of this lot is in back 2002 the land uh and all the Pondill East 1085 01:30:34,560 --> 01:30:41,199 commercial was zoned from A1 to B1 residential or B1 commercial Starbucks 1086 01:30:38,880 --> 01:30:46,800 and Mallisters developed in early 2000s in 2018 Bill Miller purchased lot next 1087 01:30:43,280 --> 01:30:51,360 to 2314 that's the vacant lot you can see the dirt or this waterburger this is 1088 01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:54,800 the Bill Miller lot uh water uh Bill Miller's purchased lot 1089 01:30:53,360 --> 01:31:01,120 next to it does have no development since 2018 2019 Waterburger developed 1090 01:30:57,760 --> 01:31:06,639 the lot next to the Bill Miller And then in 2021, 1091 01:31:03,600 --> 01:31:10,000 the Denton Bitterblue, the Rogers Chap Park unit 189 sold the lot that we're 1092 01:31:08,560 --> 01:31:13,520 talking about tonight, the Generations Community Federal Credit Union, which is 1093 01:31:11,600 --> 01:31:17,120 the current property owner. And the credit unions, as a general note, do not 1094 01:31:15,360 --> 01:31:21,120 provide any retailer sales tax to the city. Um no development actions were 1095 01:31:19,199 --> 01:31:25,120 taken on this lot by generations until in 2026 a couple months ago RFM 1096 01:31:23,199 --> 01:31:29,120 commercial Mark Bower here uh representing um approach city staff 1097 01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:33,920 proposal to subdivide the lot and develop in the two retail business that 1098 01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:40,239 will generate sales tax. So RF's proposal is for two tenants. Um 1099 01:31:37,840 --> 01:31:43,120 it would include aa quick service restaurant with dining and drive 1100 01:31:41,840 --> 01:31:51,040 services as well as professionally operated automotive oil change facility. 1101 01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:55,120 So the two actions and the agenda is to allow auto those automotive oil change 1102 01:31:53,520 --> 01:31:59,760 facilities which are not allowed use in the B1 zoning districts today. This 1103 01:31:56,960 --> 01:32:03,440 ordinance would add it and add it as a CC use so that if another business 1104 01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:05,840 another developer wanted to build another one of these they have to come 1105 01:32:04,480 --> 01:32:09,440 in front of planning zoning and city council just like I'm standing here 1106 01:32:07,120 --> 01:32:14,320 today just like Mark Bower and they have to present it to council for approval. 1107 01:32:13,280 --> 01:32:18,080 But this would be a professionally operated low impact vehicle maintenance 1108 01:32:16,239 --> 01:32:22,239 facility focused on routine oil changes and related light automotive services. 1109 01:32:20,080 --> 01:32:27,120 There would be no uh storage of vehicles on the lot overnight. Um and in fact we 1110 01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:32,560 ban that in our ordinances uh that I'll get to. So this was in your packet. Uh 1111 01:32:30,159 --> 01:32:37,440 we have a email from Latty Denton from Bitterblue. Um I'm not going to read all 1112 01:32:34,639 --> 01:32:41,600 this but uh he's just we he was very he's briefed on the slides. He's seen 1113 01:32:38,960 --> 01:32:46,719 the um site development plan. He knows RFM and the the folks over there. We did 1114 01:32:45,120 --> 01:32:50,560 site review site plans designed and use and overall context for the area and 1115 01:32:48,080 --> 01:32:54,080 intended uses in the PID which is a 22 acres land next to it. It's going to 1116 01:32:52,480 --> 01:32:58,159 have town homes developed and at a really high end. We do not believe the 1117 01:32:55,920 --> 01:33:02,880 1604 uses will cause us a marketing or perceptional issue. So we are fine with 1118 01:33:00,880 --> 01:33:05,520 the 1604 projects that presented and we have a follow discussion with the 1119 01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:08,960 developers during site signage design questions. We'll continue to work within 1120 01:33:06,800 --> 01:33:15,080 plan approval. and then he has some thanks for us all including him and 1121 01:33:11,440 --> 01:33:15,080 asking for his opinion. 1122 01:33:16,159 --> 01:33:26,400 So this proposed uh splitting of the lot we're talking about 1.2 acres being 1123 01:33:23,440 --> 01:33:30,239 split of 7 and a 0.53. The QSR 1124 01:33:28,320 --> 01:33:34,800 is a term for quick service restaurant. So that be the Chipotle on the side 1125 01:33:32,480 --> 01:33:39,520 right behind the Starbucks and then next to it would be the oil 1126 01:33:37,120 --> 01:33:44,080 change quick lube facility with all its lanes and customers coming in. Again, 1127 01:33:41,440 --> 01:33:48,960 not people parking and leaving their cars overnight storage. Uh there's not a 1128 01:33:46,800 --> 01:33:53,360 lot of parking. There was a question on the parking I remember and the citizens 1129 01:33:51,760 --> 01:33:56,320 to be heard. There's not a lot of parking that's necessary for a quick 1130 01:33:54,719 --> 01:33:59,560 loop because all the customers come and go rapidly. 1131 01:34:00,880 --> 01:34:06,239 So, Chipotles, I think everybody knows what they look like. I just went through 1132 01:34:04,159 --> 01:34:08,960 and grabbed some photos of developer um of what this development could look 1133 01:34:07,600 --> 01:34:14,239 like. This is a recent development Chipotle. It probably be something 1134 01:34:10,159 --> 01:34:19,360 similar. We um we can't tell them what building materials they use in there, 1135 01:34:15,679 --> 01:34:22,639 but uh Denton Bitterblue does through deed restrictions and so they 1136 01:34:21,280 --> 01:34:25,520 coordinated that with them. Um, but that's good that they have that still 1137 01:34:23,920 --> 01:34:28,320 that authority, but it's going to be similar to the Starbucks and the 1138 01:34:26,800 --> 01:34:33,920 Macauers with trying to feature the limestone and and those rugged colors. 1139 01:34:31,679 --> 01:34:37,679 Here's a take five um that's been recently built here that the developer 1140 01:34:35,360 --> 01:34:43,360 had a picture of. Um that's what this could look like potentially 1141 01:34:40,320 --> 01:34:47,920 park some valines um that are in the higherend areas and 1142 01:34:45,520 --> 01:34:50,920 what that could look like here in Shamal Park. 1143 01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:59,280 So there again there' be no out store with this proposal from RFM. There'd be 1144 01:34:57,760 --> 01:35:02,639 no outdoor storage of used oil, oil filters, parts, tires, disabled 1145 01:35:01,040 --> 01:35:06,080 vehicles. There's no waste materials, custom vehicles or stage only in 1146 01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:09,760 designated parking service areas facility operate within uh appropriate 1147 01:35:08,239 --> 01:35:13,440 environmental controls. They have to get TCQ permits. all all these businesses 1148 01:35:12,239 --> 01:35:18,639 wherever they build in Texas are going to get a TCU permit for the uh even just 1149 01:35:16,480 --> 01:35:23,600 temporarily holding the oil that they drain from the vehicles before they want 1150 01:35:20,320 --> 01:35:28,800 to this is um a commodity that they want to sell in the aftermarket the used oil 1151 01:35:25,679 --> 01:35:32,800 market that they don't waste it but even the temporary holding of it and in your 1152 01:35:30,880 --> 01:35:36,000 packet there is a letter that the RFM was kind to provide from half 1153 01:35:34,400 --> 01:35:40,480 engineering the engineer for their project and in there talked about how 1154 01:35:38,480 --> 01:35:45,280 the doublewalled underground containment tanks that would have to be for this 1155 01:35:42,320 --> 01:35:51,120 within the concrete subf foundation of the building. Um, but that is a part of 1156 01:35:47,840 --> 01:35:56,040 their uh TCQ requirements. They have to have WPAP as well for this development. 1157 01:35:56,080 --> 01:36:01,120 Um, and so there's a lots of controls besides the city's regulations. If you 1158 01:35:59,760 --> 01:36:04,159 don't see a regulations on these businesses about how they store their 1159 01:36:02,560 --> 01:36:09,280 oil, it's because this is strong in the state regulations and it's not our 1160 01:36:05,760 --> 01:36:12,400 authority necessarily. and the financial impact the these 1161 01:36:10,800 --> 01:36:16,560 highlights here this is all numbers been updated they didn't give themselves a 1162 01:36:14,159 --> 01:36:22,639 full credit they ran their calculations only 1.25% 25% sales tax cut uh 1163 01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:26,560 collection or actually 1.5. So anyways, the bottom line though is the 1164 01:36:23,600 --> 01:36:31,520 development could provide $71,400 in sales tax revenue, $15,000 in ador tax 1165 01:36:29,199 --> 01:36:37,360 revenue annually to the city. They base that based upon Chipotle's uh sales, $4 1166 01:36:34,080 --> 01:36:41,760 million annually. Um I won't again run through all these numbers, uh but this 1167 01:36:38,960 --> 01:36:45,840 is in the the packet for you. It's a small update with the 1.5 which of 1168 01:36:44,320 --> 01:36:49,440 course is split between the general fund street maintenance and crime patrol but 1169 01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:53,520 it all helps. So getting exactly to the agenda item 1170 01:36:51,119 --> 01:36:58,320 8.2 what is before on you on this agenda item. This is simply adding the CC 1171 01:36:56,400 --> 01:37:02,960 special use permits as an allowed use within the B1 zoning category. You can 1172 01:37:00,880 --> 01:37:07,679 see the little track changes there in red. Automotive quick loop service 1173 01:37:04,560 --> 01:37:12,000 facility CC. Many of those uses if you look through the table, antique store, 1174 01:37:09,840 --> 01:37:19,679 art gallery, museum, bar, tavern, they're not defined actually. Um, 1175 01:37:17,119 --> 01:37:23,280 that's a job for Bill and I. We have to sometimes with these developments is to 1176 01:37:21,119 --> 01:37:26,320 fit into the definition within our code when we're talking to a business. Could 1177 01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:29,679 they are they allowed to come into shop in a park? But here we don't want to 1178 01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:32,880 leave that to two guests. We want to actually define what these businesses 1179 01:37:30,960 --> 01:37:36,000 are. Automo quickl service facility means a specialized service center 1180 01:37:34,239 --> 01:37:39,360 designed for rapid routine preventative vehicle maintenance such as oil change, 1181 01:37:37,440 --> 01:37:42,400 filter replacements and tire inflation. Routine preventative vehicle maintenance 1182 01:37:40,880 --> 01:37:46,159 extending longer than 24 hours is prohibited. In addition, no overnight 1183 01:37:44,239 --> 01:37:51,440 storage of of customer vehicles is allowed at these facilities. 1184 01:37:48,560 --> 01:37:55,280 So that is the 8.2. If you don't mind, I'll go into 8.3 real 1185 01:37:53,679 --> 01:37:59,679 quick. I think it will help inform you before we make a decision. 8.2, to 1186 01:37:57,600 --> 01:38:04,960 there's been some changes in 8.3 the next agenda item which is where the 1187 01:38:01,520 --> 01:38:10,320 actual um application from RFM to do this development we've 1188 01:38:08,639 --> 01:38:15,040 added uh we worked with our attorneys and we strengthened the controls over it 1189 01:38:13,040 --> 01:38:18,480 so last month I showed you this slide and how we were saying the ordinance 1190 01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:21,520 shall only grant the right to to construct one automotive quick loop 1191 01:38:19,920 --> 01:38:24,960 service facility ruling out that if they subdivide it they try to get cute and 1192 01:38:23,040 --> 01:38:28,400 build two of these they can't do that that and we said that no Automotive auto 1193 01:38:27,119 --> 01:38:31,280 additional automotive service may be added, expanded, or substitute beyond 1194 01:38:29,679 --> 01:38:36,080 the scope of the routine preventable vehicle maintenance without a new CC 1195 01:38:33,760 --> 01:38:39,679 special use permit by city council. Again, ruling out that this business 1196 01:38:37,920 --> 01:38:42,639 that would build couldn't through project creep start adding more services 1197 01:38:41,360 --> 01:38:47,679 and you start seeing vehicles being stored over over a long time and and it 1198 01:38:45,199 --> 01:38:52,000 becomes an isore. Uh they would have to come back to city council to approval to 1199 01:38:49,679 --> 01:38:56,000 do any of that. We have here in section one, we added 1200 01:38:53,600 --> 01:38:59,440 the site plan as an exhibit within the ordinance. And then we said the granting 1201 01:38:58,159 --> 01:39:02,560 of the special use permit, this is all in the highlighted yellow for an 1202 01:39:01,040 --> 01:39:07,040 automotive quickloop service facilities requires a restaurant use within the 1203 01:39:04,320 --> 01:39:11,199 development as depicted in exhibit A. Any change to the proposed land uses as 1204 01:39:09,520 --> 01:39:14,639 depicted in exhibit A require city council approval. 1205 01:39:13,119 --> 01:39:18,960 Again, we thought this would strengthen the concern that we heard from some on 1206 01:39:16,159 --> 01:39:22,080 council and someone even at P&Z is that there was a worry that okay, city 1207 01:39:20,719 --> 01:39:25,199 council would approve this and the developer wouldn't actually deliver the 1208 01:39:23,679 --> 01:39:29,600 restaurant use, which is I think what most people are more interested in 1209 01:39:26,800 --> 01:39:34,239 getting is a bigger sales tax generator. So, we're trying this control um would 1210 01:39:32,719 --> 01:39:38,960 mean that if again if they're not going to build the restaurant, they have to 1211 01:39:35,360 --> 01:39:45,119 come back to city council. So, >> thank you Curtis. Uh before I recognize 1212 01:39:41,840 --> 01:39:49,040 Dave to describe the U P&Z process, I just want to clarify this is a 1213 01:39:47,424 --> 01:39:55,840 [clears throat] change to the B1, not to B2. Although B B2 it's available, this 1214 01:39:52,960 --> 01:40:00,080 would be a use available in B1 and B2 but not in the O districts. 1215 01:39:59,600 --> 01:40:05,360 » Yes. >> Yes. I'm just confirming that because u 1216 01:40:02,880 --> 01:40:09,920 correct. Unfortunately, when I reviewed the um 1217 01:40:08,080 --> 01:40:15,520 uh we talked about it the last meeting, but when I reviewed the agenda, I did 1218 01:40:13,040 --> 01:40:19,600 not strike office district. And I want to clarify that it doesn't apply to the 1219 01:40:17,280 --> 01:40:25,199 office districts. Well, anything you can do in B1, you can 1220 01:40:22,159 --> 01:40:31,520 always do in B2 because it's downzoning, but it applies to B2. B1 and then B2 is 1221 01:40:29,600 --> 01:40:35,679 a lower category, so you can do it in B1 and B2. Uh Dave, if you'd come forward 1222 01:40:34,080 --> 01:40:40,080 so that you can tell us a little bit about the planning and zoning process, 1223 01:40:37,440 --> 01:40:45,360 how the vote went, your discussions, a little bit of that kind of stuff. 1224 01:40:42,400 --> 01:40:49,920 » Thank you. Um I'm the vice chair uh of the PNZ and I I'll say that the of the 1225 01:40:48,480 --> 01:40:54,960 year and a half I've been on the commission, um we had a really a hearty 1226 01:40:53,199 --> 01:41:01,040 discussion. Uh this is probably one of two that we've had and the other being 1227 01:40:56,400 --> 01:41:06,320 the uh uh the the trail. So, our focus was basically if we're going to change 1228 01:41:02,960 --> 01:41:12,239 the rules, is it within our uh city strat plan, it does it meet those 1229 01:41:08,639 --> 01:41:17,440 guidance? Um I'll tell you that the initial discussion we had the first 1230 01:41:14,400 --> 01:41:22,800 reading um we were not really in favor of the concept because this is a huge 1231 01:41:20,400 --> 01:41:27,760 step. You know, we haven't allowed uh auto stores or whatever in in our city 1232 01:41:25,840 --> 01:41:33,040 for a reason. And so we kind of had the discussion about why we did that and and 1233 01:41:30,239 --> 01:41:37,360 history about um projection. When we looked at our open uh plots of land for 1234 01:41:35,920 --> 01:41:44,159 development in the city, we were like, "Okay, what what else do we have to do?" 1235 01:41:40,400 --> 01:41:49,600 uh the developer uh made a very good presentation about this actual plot that 1236 01:41:47,280 --> 01:41:56,560 with Chipotle being the the anchor if you will um the quick lube is a smaller 1237 01:41:53,840 --> 01:42:00,159 portion and to have another uh we focused on okay what else could we put 1238 01:41:58,560 --> 01:42:04,400 in there you know another restaurant it's not really big enough for another 1239 01:42:01,679 --> 01:42:09,040 restaurant so it's either um it's in a has sat vacant for you know the five 1240 01:42:07,119 --> 01:42:12,159 years or whatever since the uh credit union bought 1241 01:42:10,159 --> 01:42:16,960 U we were thinking of okay for the planning of the city what would be best 1242 01:42:14,159 --> 01:42:22,719 for our citizens and yeah we said that you know an oil loop place we could go 1243 01:42:19,760 --> 01:42:27,920 down to Military Drive and uh Hebner is maybe a close one but along 16004 1244 01:42:25,600 --> 01:42:33,840 there's really nothing um uh available to our citizens. So we kind of focused 1245 01:42:30,639 --> 01:42:39,679 on what else could we do with this as a you know if we another developer came 1246 01:42:36,159 --> 01:42:44,320 and presented something. Um but we also um had a hearty discussion about the oil 1247 01:42:42,239 --> 01:42:49,920 drainage and how it affected the town homes and the adjacent property that uh 1248 01:42:47,280 --> 01:42:56,719 uh lays down below it if you will. Um but I think our focus was really on um 1249 01:42:53,840 --> 01:43:00,719 uh knowing that Chipoti was the the focus and the lot is very small to 1250 01:42:59,119 --> 01:43:07,520 develop. >> Okay. What and it was reported that the 1251 01:43:04,320 --> 01:43:15,440 vote was a 90 vote. There was a non vote. Um and uh one um I believe she 1252 01:43:12,080 --> 01:43:21,600 changed her vote, but um it is uh there was some concerns just about the oil um 1253 01:43:18,400 --> 01:43:27,280 and the proximity to the town homes, but uh the I I think we we focused on the 1254 01:43:25,600 --> 01:43:31,679 development and what would be best for the residents. 1255 01:43:29,520 --> 01:43:35,920 » Okay. Uh Bill, anything else that you'd like to add? 1256 01:43:33,679 --> 01:43:40,000 » No. And reminder that Mark's behind me here and he's the one that's got the 1257 01:43:38,320 --> 01:43:43,600 mastermind or the plan if you want to ask him specific questions. I think 1258 01:43:41,520 --> 01:43:47,360 there was a question about whether there was going to be outdoor dining. I don't 1259 01:43:45,600 --> 01:43:50,239 think there is but he would be the one that would ask. 1260 01:43:48,320 --> 01:43:57,840 » Yeah. Well, I that would be a part of the south plan which is a second which 1261 01:43:53,520 --> 01:44:01,760 is 8.3. So, so at at this time, um, I'll entertain a motion to approve ordinance 1262 01:43:59,760 --> 01:44:08,159 02026002 amending chapter 36 zoning to allow 1263 01:44:04,560 --> 01:44:15,480 automotive quickl service facility CC as a special use permit in B1 and B2, 1264 01:44:12,080 --> 01:44:15,480 not office. 1265 01:44:16,080 --> 01:44:21,600 Yeah, B1 and B2 business. Do we have a motion? 1266 01:44:19,280 --> 01:44:24,719 » So, mayor, I'd like to revise that motion. So, 1267 01:44:23,119 --> 01:44:29,119 » well, no. I'm I'm entertaining a motion. You're making whatever motion you want. 1268 01:44:26,480 --> 01:44:33,960 » Okay. So, here's here's the motion. So, the motion to approve ordinance 02026-2 1269 01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:43,360 amending chapter 36 zoning to allow automotive quick lube service facilities 1270 01:44:40,159 --> 01:44:45,840 as a special use permit in B1B2 business and office district. 1271 01:44:44,639 --> 01:44:51,040 » Not office district. >> Okay, I'll tear that. So, strike that 1272 01:44:48,719 --> 01:44:55,040 under the following conditions. Approval of any special use permit of 1273 01:44:53,280 --> 01:45:00,159 the automotive quick lube service facility shall be contingent upon the 1274 01:44:57,600 --> 01:45:04,239 development fully satisfying all commitments presented to city council 1275 01:45:02,719 --> 01:45:10,159 regarding the establishment of the Chipoti restaurant. So in short uh once 1276 01:45:07,679 --> 01:45:14,639 a Chipoti restaurant is operational the special permit would be approved for the 1277 01:45:12,480 --> 01:45:19,280 uh for the other the other condition would be that the automotive quickloop 1278 01:45:16,800 --> 01:45:24,800 service facility shall be oriented next to the Starbucks company building in the 1279 01:45:22,639 --> 01:45:28,400 most westerly part of the lot to minimize visual impact to neighboring 1280 01:45:27,600 --> 01:45:35,679 community. >> Okay. Uh I I understand that fully as 1281 01:45:31,760 --> 01:45:43,280 far as ordinance 2026003. Uh 002 is just two lines, two sections 1282 01:45:39,280 --> 01:45:48,800 revising chapter 36. So I'll hold that motion in advance. But 1283 01:45:46,480 --> 01:45:54,960 first, we have to approve chapter 36's amendment before we I think we want to 1284 01:45:52,159 --> 01:46:01,280 consider the amendment of chapter 36 before we consider the amendment to 1285 01:45:57,440 --> 01:46:09,520 chapter to the actual agreement. Okay. Um so, so do I have a motion to approve 1286 01:46:04,719 --> 01:46:13,159 the amendment of chapter 36 zoning for B1 and B2? 1287 01:46:13,679 --> 01:46:22,800 » I'd like to make that motion. Okay, we have a motion from Conrad to approve 1288 01:46:20,159 --> 01:46:26,800 uh ordinance 0 2026002 amending 1289 01:46:24,719 --> 01:46:32,800 uh chapter 36 zoning to allow ODM automotive quick fleet service facility 1290 01:46:29,199 --> 01:46:36,639 CC as a special use permit in B1 and B2 district. Uh this is a second reading. 1291 01:46:35,520 --> 01:46:39,920 Do I have a second? >> Second it. 1292 01:46:37,360 --> 01:46:45,199 » We have a second from Buddy. We're now open for discussion on the amendment 1293 01:46:42,000 --> 01:46:50,320 solely of chapter 36. Okay, Pete. 1294 01:46:47,119 --> 01:46:54,480 » So, uh, when I moved to Shavano Park, uh, we moved here about seven years ago 1295 01:46:51,840 --> 01:46:59,360 and we purchased a lot and built a home. And what attracted me to Shavano Park is 1296 01:46:56,880 --> 01:47:03,920 it's very very different and you you know the difference when when you're 1297 01:47:00,960 --> 01:47:11,280 here. And uh so it's funny when you go down Northwest Military, I know when I'm 1298 01:47:06,960 --> 01:47:16,080 in San Antonio and I know uh when when I'm not in uh in Shavano Park, it's just 1299 01:47:14,080 --> 01:47:21,679 it's a very different feel. It's a very different feel. And so my my concern is 1300 01:47:19,920 --> 01:47:27,440 that this starts to erode that feeling. And this is the reason why I wanted to 1301 01:47:23,360 --> 01:47:33,840 be part of Shavano Park. Uh so uh I my my view is is this this doesn't add to 1302 01:47:31,920 --> 01:47:38,080 uh to what we're trying to achieve the vision of Shavano Park. I mean that's I 1303 01:47:36,159 --> 01:47:42,239 I I know one of the things is when you look at the town plan there's competing 1304 01:47:40,320 --> 01:47:45,840 priorities in there. I I get that we're yeah we're looking for revenue. We're 1305 01:47:44,000 --> 01:47:49,840 looking for that. But to me the higher priority is the vision the the feel that 1306 01:47:48,080 --> 01:47:57,840 we're looking for the city. And to me this this doesn't give that feel. and uh 1307 01:47:52,560 --> 01:48:02,639 and and I you know uh it's it's uh it's not what what the the vision that that I 1308 01:48:00,320 --> 01:48:08,320 hope to to see for Shavano Park. >> Great. Thank you, Pete. Uh others 1309 01:48:06,480 --> 01:48:12,639 Christian, >> uh thank you very much uh again for the 1310 01:48:10,400 --> 01:48:16,639 the reading. Uh just as we gave a little bit of a presentation again um for the 1311 01:48:15,360 --> 01:48:21,440 first reading, I'm going to offer some of my comments. They're probably similar 1312 01:48:18,000 --> 01:48:25,679 to after the first reading as well. Um, in putting a quick loop facility, I 1313 01:48:23,600 --> 01:48:29,520 think we have to ask for Chevo Park, similar to what Alderman Miller had 1314 01:48:27,440 --> 01:48:33,840 said, is this the vision we had for for Chevano Park? And two, is this a service 1315 01:48:31,840 --> 01:48:40,159 that's really desired and demanded by by Chevno Park citizens? And is one6 of the 1316 01:48:37,280 --> 01:48:45,920 revenue I'm using the updated numbers of 60,000 verse 11,500 1317 01:48:43,440 --> 01:48:49,600 about 16, is that worth an exception to the ordinance? And would another option 1318 01:48:48,080 --> 01:48:54,719 such as another restaurant to offer diversity or another business option 1319 01:48:51,920 --> 01:49:00,800 within the current ordinance rules offer better revenue and better meet the wants 1320 01:48:57,360 --> 01:49:05,360 and needs of our citizens? And um doing a little research uh on via the urban 1321 01:49:03,199 --> 01:49:09,440 land institute, quick loop facilities are better for owners developers because 1322 01:49:07,199 --> 01:49:13,920 they offer better profit margins due to simpler operations and lower labor 1323 01:49:11,360 --> 01:49:19,360 costs. but it doesn't realize a greater tax revenue for the city as we've 1324 01:49:16,080 --> 01:49:25,600 already uh demonstrated. Um and and this location is nice because it offers um 1325 01:49:22,800 --> 01:49:32,320 easy access for for folks to get in and out of a a quick loop facility. I get 1326 01:49:27,760 --> 01:49:36,320 that. Um and if this can be argued as a needed daily necessity, the Urban Land 1327 01:49:34,719 --> 01:49:40,400 Institute argues that it might be good to have such a facility. But but how 1328 01:49:38,639 --> 01:49:46,560 many of these quick move facilities do we need? and are there other very close 1329 01:49:42,639 --> 01:49:52,960 close quick loop options um between where that lot is 2.7 miles away just on 1330 01:49:50,800 --> 01:49:57,679 the other side of of heapner is another valing so that's within seven seven 1331 01:49:56,000 --> 01:50:01,760 minutes and the national league of cities tell us that an urban planning 1332 01:49:59,760 --> 01:50:08,400 concept of necessities and services being within 15 minutes of where you 1333 01:50:03,440 --> 01:50:12,159 live is a desirable um plan for the city so we already have one within seven 1334 01:50:10,080 --> 01:50:16,080 minutes same brand that we're talking about potentially putting in. You know, 1335 01:50:14,239 --> 01:50:20,000 perhaps we already meet the need needs of our citizens. And and I introduced 1336 01:50:18,320 --> 01:50:25,440 this last time doing a quick look on maps. There's seven take five facilities 1337 01:50:23,199 --> 01:50:30,480 just outside of Chevno Park city limits. There's five valve lanes just outside of 1338 01:50:28,159 --> 01:50:35,920 Shaveno Park city limits. And I used 281,6004, 1339 01:50:33,119 --> 01:50:40,400 410, and I 10 as kind of my limits of the area that I looked. But in all of 1340 01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:45,840 San Antonio, there's between 200 and 240, this is via Google, dedicated oil 1341 01:50:43,679 --> 01:50:49,840 change and quick loop facilities. When you look at broader automotive 1342 01:50:47,520 --> 01:50:54,159 maintenance, the broader automotive maintenance footprints, it's well over a 1343 01:50:52,080 --> 01:50:59,840 thousand businesses. Uh, by contrast, via Google, there's 21 1344 01:50:57,199 --> 01:51:05,280 Chipotles. So, a thousand place I could get my oil change versus 21 places where 1345 01:51:02,000 --> 01:51:08,560 I could get my Chipotle. So, you know, uh, in the citizens to be heard 1346 01:51:06,719 --> 01:51:13,360 comments, we heard early this evening. We we heard concerns about precedent 1347 01:51:10,719 --> 01:51:16,560 being set where where I get it. We can any other place that perhaps wants to 1348 01:51:15,040 --> 01:51:22,000 put on an oil loop facility or other still has to come before city council. 1349 01:51:18,880 --> 01:51:26,080 But it it's hard for us to say no, we're going to allow it for them, but not 1350 01:51:23,840 --> 01:51:33,119 somewhere else when we have a very very small amount of developable developable 1351 01:51:29,440 --> 01:51:37,040 land within Shavano Park. And so that finite amount of land I think needs to 1352 01:51:35,040 --> 01:51:41,280 be considered when we're talking about our city plan and the vision that we 1353 01:51:38,880 --> 01:51:44,960 have for Shao Park and and and I appreciate the other comments about the 1354 01:51:42,719 --> 01:51:50,080 potential for noise parking concerns or other I do want to commend the commend 1355 01:51:47,520 --> 01:51:55,119 the developer and for plans zoning consider things like um pollution and 1356 01:51:53,119 --> 01:51:59,840 making sure that we're keeping up with um uh ecological considerations. And I 1357 01:51:58,239 --> 01:52:04,000 think that that you did a good job of switching my concerns on that in the 1358 01:52:01,679 --> 01:52:09,760 last meeting, but I but that concern is still out there that I think we need to 1359 01:52:05,760 --> 01:52:13,520 be very cognizant about of our citizens and I will say that restaurants are 1360 01:52:11,360 --> 01:52:17,360 better hubs for social interaction and they employ more people and they are 1361 01:52:15,440 --> 01:52:20,239 better source of revenue and I think also that our citizens they like 1362 01:52:18,800 --> 01:52:25,440 diversity of choices and another restaurant provides that for us. um and 1363 01:52:23,440 --> 01:52:30,800 we don't need to grant an ordinance exception to another restaurant. Now, 1364 01:52:28,080 --> 01:52:35,119 I'm very um understanding of the fact that the amount of space that's there 1365 01:52:33,360 --> 01:52:41,520 doesn't offer perhaps for another restaurant, but but is there another 1366 01:52:37,440 --> 01:52:46,639 option that meets our city's vision will provide us the revenue that we need and 1367 01:52:43,360 --> 01:52:51,760 is worth holding out for? Um and and allows us to still protect the city 1368 01:52:48,639 --> 01:52:56,400 ordinance as it's currently written. Um, I I think these are all things that we 1369 01:52:53,440 --> 01:53:01,280 need to consider as we um go to vote on this. Um, and and I and I'm concerned 1370 01:52:59,119 --> 01:53:05,840 too that maybe a lot of our citizens in Chevano Park didn't realize that this is 1371 01:53:03,599 --> 01:53:12,320 a consideration for how we're going to develop this land. Um, we had a great 1372 01:53:08,159 --> 01:53:16,320 town hall for the the um changes to to the water through the water advisory 1373 01:53:14,080 --> 01:53:19,679 committee and the increased fees that we're going to make. But you can make an 1374 01:53:17,840 --> 01:53:24,000 argument that well that applies a lot more to Shavano Park citizens than this 1375 01:53:22,480 --> 01:53:29,360 plot of land on the north side of Shavano Park. U but but I'm concerned 1376 01:53:27,040 --> 01:53:32,960 that a lot of our citizens didn't know about it perhaps. Um because maybe they 1377 01:53:31,599 --> 01:53:37,520 would have had a lot more to say and give us more feedback. in in a quick ask 1378 01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:42,159 around the neighborhood that I that I've done. Hey, have you heard about this and 1379 01:53:39,760 --> 01:53:46,000 you know kind just what do you think? Um I I've had a lot of people who were 1380 01:53:44,000 --> 01:53:50,239 concerned with uh putting oil change facility with the Chipotle and and the 1381 01:53:49,040 --> 01:53:54,639 fact they didn't think it matched the Chevart vision and they didn't think it 1382 01:53:52,960 --> 01:53:58,159 made made sense and they had environmental concerns and other 1383 01:53:56,639 --> 01:54:03,119 although there was also some people who said on my south side of classified it's 1384 01:54:01,040 --> 01:54:07,280 way away from me it's up there 604 it doesn't matter to me so so there was 1385 01:54:05,119 --> 01:54:11,840 some diversity in opinion but for the most part people were concerned about 1386 01:54:08,960 --> 01:54:15,199 this motion I applied I applaud plan zoning for bringing this forward because 1387 01:54:13,599 --> 01:54:18,639 I think it's worthwhile for us to consider. There's multiple things that 1388 01:54:16,800 --> 01:54:23,679 we as a council need to consider such as revenue for the city such as developing 1389 01:54:20,800 --> 01:54:30,159 the land that we have, but I don't think the current proposal has set up to grant 1390 01:54:26,639 --> 01:54:33,599 this exception meets that vision for for our city of Chevno Park. So, thank you 1391 01:54:32,400 --> 01:54:37,599 for entertaining my comments. >> Okay, buddy. 1392 01:54:35,679 --> 01:54:41,360 » Thank you, mayor. Um, I apologize I wasn't available to hear the citizens 1393 01:54:39,840 --> 01:54:46,159 and what they had to say about this project. But I will say this as being 1394 01:54:43,840 --> 01:54:50,800 part of planning and zoning along with Bob, we spent a lot of time in plan and 1395 01:54:48,480 --> 01:54:56,080 zoning and automotive has always been a hot spot. Always. Everybody has always 1396 01:54:53,679 --> 01:55:04,639 raised questions whether automotive facilities of any type would be okay to 1397 01:54:59,840 --> 01:55:08,560 build in Shamano Park. Whereas um as 1398 01:55:06,880 --> 01:55:13,199 being on city council, we don't want to impede on the ownership rights of the 1399 01:55:11,520 --> 01:55:18,239 people who have bought this property years ago, but at the same time, we want 1400 01:55:16,159 --> 01:55:22,239 to make sure that they do have a vision and they do keep up with the need of 1401 01:55:20,080 --> 01:55:25,760 Shelvin Park residents. And I think the community will decide as a whole if they 1402 01:55:24,480 --> 01:55:31,360 don't like what they're doing, they'll stop going there. And so we as a city 1403 01:55:28,320 --> 01:55:36,080 council, I think the economic risk is on the ownership on whether or not they 1404 01:55:33,520 --> 01:55:40,719 comply with the wants and needs of our city. If they don't, people aren't going 1405 01:55:37,840 --> 01:55:45,119 to go, but yet they have the right to build on their property. I think 1406 01:55:42,960 --> 01:55:51,440 planning and zoning has done a great job of bringing things forward and putting 1407 01:55:48,320 --> 01:55:56,320 restrictions in the spirit which we wrote the ordinances several years ago. 1408 01:55:54,320 --> 01:56:00,400 and they they've been written several times over and over again. We have 1409 01:55:58,239 --> 01:56:06,480 refined them. We have put them in line with a town plan. And I think that we we 1410 01:56:03,199 --> 01:56:11,119 ought we owe it to the citizens or the um people who own the property and give 1411 01:56:08,480 --> 01:56:16,239 them a chance to do what they want as long as they're within the spirit of the 1412 01:56:13,440 --> 01:56:20,880 ordinances that were written the way we put them together. And I like I said, I 1413 01:56:18,800 --> 01:56:26,159 commend planning and zoning of what they've done. I think they have brought 1414 01:56:22,960 --> 01:56:30,960 that true spirit out and that we off we need to off the uh the ownership a 1415 01:56:28,320 --> 01:56:37,679 chance to put implement the concept they want and they're abiding by the TCQ 1416 01:56:34,639 --> 01:56:44,560 uh parameters to where you know we're not u putting a risk on the town homes 1417 01:56:41,440 --> 01:56:46,560 or the city or the Edward. So I commend them. 1418 01:56:45,040 --> 01:56:50,480 » Okay. Lee. 1419 01:56:48,639 --> 01:56:54,320 » Thank you Mr. Mayor. I'd like to offer up a couple of random thoughts in no 1420 01:56:52,320 --> 01:57:00,000 particular order. At the intersection of IH10 and UTSA 1421 01:56:57,360 --> 01:57:05,840 Boulevard on the norththeast corner is a Hyundai dealership. Cross over to the 1422 01:57:02,639 --> 01:57:10,800 other side of 10 and go south. Five car dealerships. Total of six within 1423 01:57:08,480 --> 01:57:17,280 eyesight of each other. I I don't think the argument that we've got too many of 1424 01:57:13,920 --> 01:57:20,560 something. Well, guess what? We've got a Starbucks up here and somebody let them 1425 01:57:18,960 --> 01:57:24,800 build another coffee shop right across the street. You can literally throw a 1426 01:57:22,560 --> 01:57:30,639 rock and hit each one of them from the other side. So I don't think like kind 1427 01:57:28,800 --> 01:57:36,159 businesses being close to each other is a viable argument. DCQ is a much 1428 01:57:33,679 --> 01:57:41,360 stricter regulatory agency than we can ever be. If they say it's going to be 1429 01:57:38,320 --> 01:57:45,440 safe, it's going to be safe. Oh my goodness. We've got a big gas station up 1430 01:57:43,280 --> 01:57:49,199 here that services what, 1100 cars a day. I wonder what's in the ground 1431 01:57:46,960 --> 01:57:54,239 underneath those pumps and who who regulates that. So, I think the argument 1432 01:57:51,199 --> 01:57:58,880 against that is isn't does it holds water? Uh, 1433 01:57:57,119 --> 01:58:03,599 we've been told from the get-go that this piece of land owned by a credit 1434 01:58:00,639 --> 01:58:08,960 union is so incredibly expensive, nobody even ms the grass. It's a jungle over 1435 01:58:05,840 --> 01:58:13,119 there and nobody wants it. Well, why don't they want it? Well, it's too 1436 01:58:10,639 --> 01:58:16,719 expensive. Somebody comes in here, a gift horse, and tells, you know, if you 1437 01:58:15,280 --> 01:58:20,719 work with me, we'll split it up. We'll put you in a nice little Chipotle 1438 01:58:18,400 --> 01:58:26,320 restaurant. I like Chipotle. It's not tier one, but it's okay. Gu some sort of 1439 01:58:24,080 --> 01:58:30,400 an oil change flank next door to it. My wife owns a security company. We have a 1440 01:58:27,840 --> 01:58:35,119 small fleet. Guess who takes the cars in to get the oil change when they need it? 1441 01:58:32,960 --> 01:58:38,400 And it's quick. It's easy. And the people there are friendly, working hard. 1442 01:58:36,639 --> 01:58:42,880 We make money off the oil and filters, not off the labor. And they do a pretty 1443 01:58:41,199 --> 01:58:46,239 good clip down there where we're taking it's, by the way, it's a five-minute l 1444 01:58:44,639 --> 01:58:52,639 place. I think that if you want to keep Shao 1445 01:58:49,280 --> 01:58:59,199 Park like it was, I will tell you a story about 1976. A 1446 01:58:55,360 --> 01:59:04,159 fresh new county police officer, me, was dispatched over to what is now the fire 1447 01:59:01,599 --> 01:59:09,440 department with city hall because of an impending riot. because city council was 1448 01:59:07,199 --> 01:59:12,960 meeting in what is now the kitchen and they needed police protection because 1449 01:59:11,119 --> 01:59:17,679 there was a hot ticket item. The hot ticket item was a retired one-star 1450 01:59:14,719 --> 01:59:22,000 general from World War I who was complaining about the fact, 1451 01:59:19,360 --> 01:59:26,560 believe it or not, somebody put a red light at Deavala at Military Highway. 1452 01:59:24,560 --> 01:59:31,440 It's no longer a three-way stop. Fry God. 1453 01:59:28,320 --> 01:59:35,760 No riot ensued, but they put the stop they put the red light up anyway. So, 1454 01:59:34,480 --> 01:59:41,760 we're going to have to roll with the punches. Um, I note that when COVID hit, 1455 01:59:40,080 --> 01:59:47,599 Bill Miller quit the development of that pad next to to Waterburger. 1456 01:59:45,040 --> 01:59:50,239 Maybe the old adage, if you build one gas station in the middle of nowhere, 1457 01:59:49,040 --> 01:59:53,119 you're going to do some business. You build a competing gas station on the 1458 01:59:51,840 --> 01:59:56,719 opposite corner, they're both going to get rich. I would like to see another 1459 01:59:55,119 --> 02:00:01,280 restaurant. The fact that we have to take on a um 1460 01:59:58,800 --> 02:00:05,280 oil change place doesn't strike me because I'm a guy and I built cars to go 1461 02:00:03,599 --> 02:00:12,000 through high school and college and the smell of oil doesn't offend me. So, I 1462 02:00:08,320 --> 02:00:15,040 think that we've got a gift horse and I'd like to see us climb on the back and 1463 02:00:13,679 --> 02:00:20,800 ride. Thank you. >> Thank you, Lynn. Conrad, 1464 02:00:18,480 --> 02:00:25,280 » um I think when I first heard about this, it didn't didn't appeal, you know, 1465 02:00:23,280 --> 02:00:29,440 an oil change place. I think that's because 1466 02:00:27,119 --> 02:00:36,719 you think about a mechanic shop and you think about maybe tires in the side. You 1467 02:00:32,560 --> 02:00:41,679 think about um oil everywhere. You have this this vision of a mechanic shop, but 1468 02:00:39,840 --> 02:00:45,920 that's not what this is. This is a oil change place. Like we change our oil 1469 02:00:44,159 --> 02:00:50,880 down here at Valvaline. You jump in there and you're done in 15 minutes. 1470 02:00:48,320 --> 02:00:54,320 Really quick, not that noisy. There's no music playing. That's one of the things 1471 02:00:52,560 --> 02:00:59,360 you think about a mechanic shop, right? Like back in the day, you hear this loud 1472 02:00:56,560 --> 02:01:04,719 music and ratchets going all that and that's not there. So that that goes 1473 02:01:01,760 --> 02:01:09,440 away. Um but it's still you you think it's an oil place. This is like y'all 1474 02:01:07,599 --> 02:01:15,199 say this is what we need, right? Well, there's too many of them. And then you 1475 02:01:12,000 --> 02:01:19,360 think about like great presentation. There's lots of them. Well, there's 1476 02:01:17,040 --> 02:01:26,560 there's a reason why because customers are wanting them highly convenient, much 1477 02:01:22,320 --> 02:01:31,040 like a gas station and to Lee's what Lee was saying is about this very 1478 02:01:28,800 --> 02:01:38,239 busy gas station, right? Right across military. So, I I start to lose that 1479 02:01:35,280 --> 02:01:43,760 sort of negative um vision of what this is. It's just 1480 02:01:40,800 --> 02:01:48,080 it's just an oil change place. has three or four I guess garage doors on the 1481 02:01:46,320 --> 02:01:51,280 front and they're in and out and they're closed at night and there's some 1482 02:01:49,679 --> 02:02:00,400 shrubbery around there and it's going to I'm sure be nice. Um so then you think 1483 02:01:55,920 --> 02:02:03,840 well what um what else is there? We some citizens are against it and I completely 1484 02:02:02,320 --> 02:02:08,239 understand that as I stated from the start. But then we go to the developer 1485 02:02:05,679 --> 02:02:11,440 and the developer says, you know, I don't think that this is not going to 1486 02:02:09,360 --> 02:02:17,440 harm my business and he's putting in town homes that are very valuable. He 1487 02:02:14,080 --> 02:02:22,080 has skin in that game that is just across the street basically. And he 1488 02:02:19,920 --> 02:02:25,679 says, "This isn't going to this isn't going to hurt my what I'm doing here, 1489 02:02:23,760 --> 02:02:32,159 this project." And it's millions of dollars. Um, 1490 02:02:29,760 --> 02:02:37,119 it's private property somewhat of what Buddy was talking about. This isn't city 1491 02:02:34,560 --> 02:02:42,480 property. This isn't our property, the cities. It's somebody else's that has 1492 02:02:40,320 --> 02:02:49,119 not utilized it for what they said they would for years now. And this land is 1493 02:02:46,560 --> 02:02:53,599 sat there sort of call it dormant for a very long period of time. And now we 1494 02:02:52,080 --> 02:02:58,400 have a developer that says, you know what, I can fit financially in there 1495 02:02:56,000 --> 02:03:03,280 with a Chipotle and then something that's a little less desirable. 1496 02:03:01,360 --> 02:03:08,320 And I think if it was just a Chipotle, there would be no discussion. This would 1497 02:03:04,880 --> 02:03:11,320 be 100% no problem. So 1498 02:03:11,520 --> 02:03:20,159 it looks like to me that this is not as bad as it looked from the start. And I 1499 02:03:17,679 --> 02:03:23,840 and again my first notion was like I don't know if that's going to work. 1500 02:03:21,920 --> 02:03:26,880 There's also a discussion going around that I think none of us have talked 1501 02:03:25,199 --> 02:03:33,280 about yet that oh we're acting too quick. Um I don't see that as a case. We 1502 02:03:30,639 --> 02:03:40,480 I think we've been waiting for solution to come along and I think the solution 1503 02:03:36,159 --> 02:03:46,159 is before us. And so I don't uh the the sales tax numbers and 1504 02:03:43,199 --> 02:03:50,480 all that. I I just put that in the back of my I didn't wasn't even looking at 1505 02:03:48,480 --> 02:03:55,040 that. So then if I start to look at that and I say as a group up here and for me 1506 02:03:53,679 --> 02:03:58,960 while technically we don't really necessarily have a fiduciary duty to 1507 02:03:56,719 --> 02:04:06,080 this city there is there it is right there at it and so we do have that 1508 02:04:02,080 --> 02:04:12,719 responsibility up here um to look at the numbers and say is this additive to to 1509 02:04:09,599 --> 02:04:15,280 us financially as well and it meets that I don't think anybody's going to 1510 02:04:13,920 --> 02:04:21,199 disagree that it would meet that it's just what what is it and then I go back. 1511 02:04:18,639 --> 02:04:28,080 Go back to the three bays and the doors that are shut at night and the 1512 02:04:25,840 --> 02:04:32,880 u plants and whatever else that it's going to look nice for what it is for a 1513 02:04:30,639 --> 02:04:38,480 box. It's a box with cars that drive in and then drive out. 1514 02:04:35,119 --> 02:04:42,639 And for me, that's that sums it up. And I I don't think we're giving up I don't 1515 02:04:41,199 --> 02:04:47,360 think we're giving up a lot here. I think we're getting value. I think we're 1516 02:04:44,639 --> 02:04:53,119 getting service. And I'll go back to there's a lot of them because customers 1517 02:04:50,000 --> 02:04:57,440 are demanding that and that's that's got to be why that's there. So I go back to 1518 02:04:54,960 --> 02:05:04,000 Lee a little bit and what what this is. So I I that's my sum total of what I how 1519 02:05:00,159 --> 02:05:10,320 I see this um and how and how it works for us in our community. It's a private 1520 02:05:06,719 --> 02:05:15,280 property and do we let the developer do this land that's been sitting there for 1521 02:05:12,880 --> 02:05:22,880 a very long period of time and it has a good useful 1522 02:05:17,440 --> 02:05:27,440 part here. Okay. Uh any other comments? Okay. Uh if there are no further 1523 02:05:25,280 --> 02:05:35,040 comments, discussion, uh we have a motion to approve ordinance 0 2026002 1524 02:05:32,320 --> 02:05:42,000 amending chapter 36 zoning to allow automatic quick loop service facility CC 1525 02:05:38,480 --> 02:05:46,560 as a special use permit in B1 B2 business. This is a second reading. All 1526 02:05:45,199 --> 02:05:51,040 in favor say I. >> I. 1527 02:05:49,280 --> 02:05:56,440 » And all oppose. >> Nay.

This is the second reading. Um 1533 02:06:27,679 --> 02:06:32,480 Bill Curtis, do you have anything that you'd like to add? 1534 02:06:44,159 --> 02:06:49,920 Um, as for the actual ordinance, um, I don't have anything to particularly add. 1535 02:06:47,599 --> 02:06:53,599 Uh, I covered it. The amendment we added working with our attorney to strengthen 1536 02:06:51,440 --> 02:06:57,040 the the controls on this land after city council approves this. The developer is 1537 02:06:55,760 --> 02:07:01,119 not going to try to pull a fast one on you. they have to come back and um and I 1538 02:06:59,760 --> 02:07:05,199 just covered that. I'm happy to cover that again, but I have nothing further 1539 02:07:03,440 --> 02:07:11,520 to add to the actual ordinance. >> Okay. Uh Pete, uh I kind of cut you 1540 02:07:08,239 --> 02:07:16,000 short uh to get through 8.2 and I'm going to come back to you for 8.3 1541 02:07:13,280 --> 02:07:19,119 because I recognized you and let you make your motion. 1542 02:07:17,280 --> 02:07:24,679 » All right. So the motion I'll reread it is motion to approve ordinance 02026-23 1543 02:07:25,520 --> 02:07:31,599 » 03 sorry 03 03 >> amending chapter 36 zoning 1544 02:07:31,199 --> 02:07:35,360 » no no >> no 1545 02:07:33,040 --> 02:07:38,159 » granting you you need to go with what's written and then add what you want to 1546 02:07:37,360 --> 02:07:44,239 add at the end. >> Where's the where's where's it? 1547 02:07:41,440 --> 02:07:48,320 Hang on. Okay. Motion to approve ordinance O 2026- 1548 02:07:47,360 --> 02:07:51,119 02 >> 03 1549 02:07:49,119 --> 02:07:54,400 » 03 What is this on the >> You're on the wrong line. 1550 02:07:53,360 --> 02:07:57,760 Go down to 8.3. >> Got it. Got it. Okay. 1551 02:07:55,920 --> 02:08:01,199 » All right. So, this is the ordinance granting quick lube special uh use 1552 02:08:00,560 --> 02:08:04,480 permit. >> Yes. 1553 02:08:02,159 --> 02:08:09,520 » All right. Motion to approve ordinance 02026-3 1554 02:08:07,119 --> 02:08:15,040 granting the automotive quick lube uh service facility special use of permit 1555 02:08:11,599 --> 02:08:21,840 B1 commercial zoning lot designated lot 202314 1556 02:08:17,119 --> 02:08:28,128 of block 44 in the county block 4782E in the a Pondill East commercial 1557 02:08:25,280 --> 02:08:32,000 subdivision [clears throat] 1558 02:08:28,880 --> 02:08:36,800 under the following conditions. Approval of any special use permit for automotive 1559 02:08:34,639 --> 02:08:40,719 quickl service facility shall be contingent upon the development the 1560 02:08:38,880 --> 02:08:45,040 developer fully satisfying all commitments presented to city council 1561 02:08:42,880 --> 02:08:50,000 regarding the establishment of a Chipoti restaurant. In short, once the Chipoti 1562 02:08:47,840 --> 02:08:54,880 restaurant is operational, the special use permit will be approved. 1563 02:08:52,480 --> 02:08:59,199 And the second uh condition is the automotive quickloop service facility 1564 02:08:56,960 --> 02:09:05,280 shall be oriented next to the Starbucks coffee uh company building in the 1565 02:09:02,480 --> 02:09:09,119 westerly part of the lot to minimize visual impact to neighboring 1566 02:09:06,880 --> 02:09:18,560 communities. >> Okay. So the ordinance is provided um 1567 02:09:15,440 --> 02:09:25,920 and the condition for the city council use permit is to uh is only granted on 1568 02:09:23,280 --> 02:09:32,159 the completion of the Chipotle and that the quick loop would be placed 1569 02:09:29,440 --> 02:09:38,560 uh on the most westward portion of the lot next to the Starbucks. Okay. Want to 1570 02:09:36,880 --> 02:09:41,679 make sure that I understood that. Okay. So, we have a motion from Pete. Do we 1571 02:09:40,320 --> 02:09:45,599 have a second? >> A second. 1572 02:09:42,639 --> 02:09:49,440 » We have a second from Christian. We have a motion and a second, which 1573 02:09:47,199 --> 02:09:56,079 means we're now open for discussion on the on the ordinance as proposed. Lee. 1574 02:09:53,760 --> 02:10:03,119 » Yes, sir. It's a parliamentary question that I'll direct to you, sir. Um that is 1575 02:10:00,560 --> 02:10:10,639 that effectively doubles the number of words in what we read as first reading 1576 02:10:06,239 --> 02:10:15,440 and it puts in some strong caveats that in my mind undermines the intent, 1577 02:10:13,280 --> 02:10:17,920 purpose and spirit of the original reading from the first. 1578 02:10:17,199 --> 02:10:21,040 » Doesn't matter. >> It you're sure it doesn't matter. That's 1579 02:10:19,520 --> 02:10:27,119 why I go to you. We uh 1580 02:10:24,159 --> 02:10:32,480 think about uh budget ordinances or budget uh actions in Congress. The 1581 02:10:30,560 --> 02:10:36,079 budget action has all kinds of things and then all of a sudden you look at it 1582 02:10:34,639 --> 02:10:39,280 months later after it comes out of the House and Senate and doesn't look at all 1583 02:10:38,079 --> 02:10:43,599 like what you thought it was going to look like. All they have to have is a 1584 02:10:41,599 --> 02:10:49,840 basket to carry the ordinance in. And the first reading was a basket that said 1585 02:10:46,159 --> 02:10:53,440 we're talking about quick loops. We if we were now talking about daycare 1586 02:10:51,920 --> 02:10:57,520 centers then that would be exactly the right 1587 02:10:55,119 --> 02:11:02,000 thing but we're not we are still talking exclusively about quick loops or quick 1588 02:11:01,040 --> 02:11:04,480 loop facilities. >> Just try trying to stay out of the 1589 02:11:03,520 --> 02:11:06,560 minefield for >> Yeah. No. No. It's a great question. 1590 02:11:05,920 --> 02:11:08,639 Great question. >> Mr. Mayor, can I have a point of 1591 02:11:07,760 --> 02:11:11,520 clarification? >> Yes. 1592 02:11:09,840 --> 02:11:17,920 » And this is directed towards the bill and Curtis on the reading on uh Pete's 1593 02:11:15,119 --> 02:11:21,840 motion. Is it is it in accordance with what you sent us as far as what the 1594 02:11:20,000 --> 02:11:27,199 attorney drafted up and what bitter bitter blues approved? 1595 02:11:24,719 --> 02:11:32,800 » Yeah. So, um, and you'll probably want to talk to Mark about it as well, too. 1596 02:11:29,840 --> 02:11:38,880 What we did is we tried to meet the same intent that you did in your motion. Um, 1597 02:11:36,079 --> 02:11:42,079 but what I think uh your motion does is may have you may have intended it, but I 1598 02:11:40,880 --> 02:11:46,079 think it may have unintended consequences. So, let me just read back. 1599 02:11:43,840 --> 02:11:51,760 Maybe Curtis, you can go to the to to to the uh the exact language. What we added 1600 02:11:49,679 --> 02:11:56,239 in there with the attorney's advice, and it was coordinated with Mark, was that 1601 02:11:54,159 --> 02:12:05,440 the permit would only be approved as depicted in exhibit A. Exhibit A is very 1602 02:12:00,079 --> 02:12:11,199 specific right here, right there. And u and requires a restaurant use. We 1603 02:12:08,560 --> 02:12:15,760 purposely didn't say Chipotle because he's he's got a letter of intent. He's 1604 02:12:13,760 --> 02:12:20,280 working on a lease. You can explain all that, but you know, if it was a 1605 02:12:20,480 --> 02:12:27,599 um um a chicken place or something like that. 1606 02:12:25,520 --> 02:12:33,199 I don't know that we would care whether it's a Chipotle or whether it's um 1607 02:12:30,239 --> 02:12:36,880 what's the what did you have for lunch? Chick-fil-A. A Chick-fil-A. I don't 1608 02:12:35,599 --> 02:12:41,040 think we care. We want a restaurant there. So it says again requires a 1609 02:12:39,040 --> 02:12:46,400 restaurant use within the development as depicted by is exhibit A. Any change to 1610 02:12:43,679 --> 02:12:52,239 the proposed land use is as depicted in a exhibit A require city council 1611 02:12:49,280 --> 02:12:57,199 approval. So the permit is the ordinance is written uh to achieve the same thing. 1612 02:12:55,440 --> 02:13:01,840 The the issue that you'll have to talk to Mark about is and I talked to him 1613 02:12:59,920 --> 02:13:06,400 about this is the development of these things are concurrent. 1614 02:13:03,840 --> 02:13:12,320 You're asking them essentially, hey, go out there, secure Chipotle, get a 1615 02:13:08,320 --> 02:13:16,079 permit, build it. Once it's built, then work through this, 1616 02:13:14,320 --> 02:13:20,560 you know, and and again, he's already briefed you and me because I've had a 1617 02:13:18,480 --> 02:13:26,000 number of conversations with him is that he needs a package deal and timing is 1618 02:13:23,440 --> 02:13:29,520 everything. And so, I'll just be quiet because I want you to make sure that we 1619 02:13:27,760 --> 02:13:33,199 think we've already got a restaurant built into the ordinance that requires 1620 02:13:31,520 --> 02:13:37,440 him to do that. We talked about the timing of the permits because we do this 1621 02:13:35,520 --> 02:13:44,079 all the time. Someone takes a a twocar garage that's attached to their house 1622 02:13:39,679 --> 02:13:47,440 and they want to build a um they want to they want to close it in 1623 02:13:46,639 --> 02:13:50,079 and we've had >> that's my whole point. and I want to 1624 02:13:48,400 --> 02:13:53,840 make sure we have a meeting of minds and we can move forward without delineating 1625 02:13:52,639 --> 02:13:59,679 things in and >> right. So in the permitting process we 1626 02:13:56,239 --> 02:14:04,400 say hey well you guys remember we you required a two-car garage 1627 02:14:02,079 --> 02:14:08,159 in Elm Springs we're dealing with one right now. I was like well I didn't know 1628 02:14:06,079 --> 02:14:12,480 that. Okay go back to the drawing board get your thing we'll hold your permit 1629 02:14:10,320 --> 02:14:16,079 we've got you this you submit your plans we do this and then we we approve 1630 02:14:14,239 --> 02:14:19,599 basically both of them at the same time and that's that's how we did that. we 1631 02:14:17,679 --> 02:14:22,480 have uh controls. We talked to Mark about that because as he develops this 1632 02:14:21,760 --> 02:14:26,639 thing, >> it's concurrent. And so I'll shut up 1633 02:14:24,960 --> 02:14:28,880 because I just want to make sure I think we've got it covered. 1634 02:14:28,480 --> 02:14:32,480 » But >> and and and that that's a great 1635 02:14:30,480 --> 02:14:40,320 explanation, Bill. And so the the question is, okay, Pete, um what Bill is 1636 02:14:36,480 --> 02:14:46,159 telling us, I think, is he's going to bring us 1637 02:14:42,159 --> 02:14:52,239 a building plan at the same time. And if he doesn't prevent present both building 1638 02:14:48,800 --> 02:14:55,920 plans at the same time, then he's not going to get either one of the building 1639 02:14:53,760 --> 02:14:59,760 plans. >> So what you're asking for, mayor, is a 1640 02:14:57,840 --> 02:15:01,920 is an amendment. So, if somebody wants to make an amendment to mine. 1641 02:15:01,440 --> 02:15:08,560 » Uh, >> no, no. I'm I'm I'm just uh 1642 02:15:05,520 --> 02:15:13,520 » u No, I I understand. Go ahead. >> Is there an instrument that we could put 1643 02:15:10,239 --> 02:15:20,400 in place that says the builder will do this congruent with each other and both 1644 02:15:17,440 --> 02:15:24,560 will be erected and in business at some point in in a date that 1645 02:15:22,960 --> 02:15:28,480 » Well, then now now you're now you brought up a new thing that uh you have 1646 02:15:26,880 --> 02:15:33,040 he has to submit the building plans within a certain date. Bill has told you 1647 02:15:30,719 --> 02:15:38,800 that based on what the attorney had proposed that Bill is not going to issue 1648 02:15:36,400 --> 02:15:43,119 a building permit that doesn't do these things simultaneously. 1649 02:15:40,800 --> 02:15:48,880 Pete is saying he'd like to have A and then B. Bill is saying no. I think we 1650 02:15:46,159 --> 02:15:55,040 can get there simultaneously. Right now the motion is A and then B. 1651 02:15:53,040 --> 02:16:02,880 We can either vote on it or somebody can make an amendment to that motion 1652 02:15:58,960 --> 02:16:09,840 and then you can start all over. >> May make a comment. Um I think that um 1653 02:16:07,119 --> 02:16:14,719 Pete's concern um is making sure that we have and and 1654 02:16:13,199 --> 02:16:19,360 the developer told us say it's a package deal. That's how the numbers work, 1655 02:16:16,159 --> 02:16:23,440 right? So just let's make sure that the restaurant is in there then we'll move 1656 02:16:20,880 --> 02:16:29,119 forward with the oil with the oil change the quick loop facility right and the 1657 02:16:25,760 --> 02:16:34,160 orientation is more perhaps presentable the needs of the city I and so I think 1658 02:16:31,280 --> 02:16:38,559 that aler is asking for compromise just as you've asked us to compromise for a 1659 02:16:36,559 --> 02:16:46,960 wave you being the developers has asked us to compromise on ordinance 0 2026002 1660 02:16:43,599 --> 02:16:52,160 got that right I think so We I I think that Pete is just asking for a 1661 02:16:48,719 --> 02:16:57,439 compromise for the orientation of how it happens to make sure that the vision, 1662 02:16:56,000 --> 02:17:02,479 the needs of the community, whatever is still met accordingly. 1663 02:16:59,200 --> 02:17:07,760 » Okay. So, so now now let's go back and clarify one more thing. 1664 02:17:04,399 --> 02:17:12,479 » What one more thing on that? Um once you break ground, you've broken ground and 1665 02:17:10,240 --> 02:17:17,439 it's really you're you're not coming back. Okay. I'm 1666 02:17:15,760 --> 02:17:20,240 sorry. I got away from my mic. >> Once you break ground, you've broken 1667 02:17:19,200 --> 02:17:22,800 ground. >> Okay. 1668 02:17:20,800 --> 02:17:29,359 » Are you saying completion or you saying breaking ground on the restaurant? 1669 02:17:26,800 --> 02:17:33,519 » I I that Yeah, I'm I'm asking you what you wanted, Pete, because Yeah. Well, I 1670 02:17:32,000 --> 02:17:39,920 want to I >> It is completion. Okay. Okay. Conrad, 1671 02:17:38,080 --> 02:17:43,439 » could we [snorts] ask a developer? >> Yeah. Can I really like to speak? I'm 1672 02:17:42,080 --> 02:17:46,319 kind of dying here. >> You've been so patient. 1673 02:17:44,240 --> 02:17:51,359 » Okay. I would not I don't have a problem at all in saying that I have to get the 1674 02:17:48,479 --> 02:17:55,439 building permit for the Chipoti before I get the valvalane. I am further along 1675 02:17:53,359 --> 02:17:59,519 with that. But to say it has to be open for business just doesn't work. It just 1676 02:17:57,519 --> 02:18:03,519 takes too long. Takes too long to build the building then I have to put 1677 02:18:00,960 --> 02:18:08,000 valvalene off and it just is it just doesn't work for us. As far as flipping 1678 02:18:06,080 --> 02:18:13,040 the sites, we've looked at this several times and the grades for the way this 1679 02:18:10,800 --> 02:18:19,679 building is situated. the grades just don't work. I That's a long building and 1680 02:18:16,800 --> 02:18:24,639 it just doesn't work on the other site. And that's our problem. The other real 1681 02:18:22,000 --> 02:18:29,120 problem is I have real estate committees that literally are approving things. I 1682 02:18:27,120 --> 02:18:33,519 mean, the levels of of approvals for these companies, you just can't imagine 1683 02:18:31,920 --> 02:18:37,679 how long it takes and how difficult it is. If I start over with them right now 1684 02:18:35,599 --> 02:18:41,120 and say, "Oh, you know, Chipulti, can you please go on the other side?" I'm 1685 02:18:39,200 --> 02:18:46,559 starting from ground zero. I know it seems crazy, but you're starting from 1686 02:18:44,479 --> 02:18:52,479 ground zero. I don't I I I don't know if I can even go back to it. We're just way 1687 02:18:49,359 --> 02:19:00,080 beyond that. But I would be willing to say I will get the um the Chipoti. You 1688 02:18:57,120 --> 02:19:04,479 don't have to approve the the Valvvelene special use permit until I have the 1689 02:19:02,080 --> 02:19:09,679 building permit or even like start construction because once I get the 1690 02:19:05,920 --> 02:19:13,840 permit, I'm going to start right away. if that would give you more comfort. And 1691 02:19:11,920 --> 02:19:18,399 I I do feel like these are really the only two tenants I'm working with. It's 1692 02:19:15,280 --> 02:19:21,760 really valvalene and chipoti are bust at this point in time. I mean, we just have 1693 02:19:19,840 --> 02:19:28,240 spent way too much time, money, effort, and everything. So, this is this is the 1694 02:19:25,120 --> 02:19:33,920 plan. And but but flipping it is a problem. And um the fact that you would 1695 02:19:31,120 --> 02:19:39,120 want it open, that's a big problem. So, I'm just that's my two cents worth. And 1696 02:19:36,880 --> 02:19:44,559 I'm just trying to understand if here's the site plan. So you got 1697 02:19:42,240 --> 02:19:48,160 Waterburgger here. We're going to have a Bill Miller there 1698 02:19:46,160 --> 02:19:51,200 whenever they decide to build it. >> Okay. Can you just tell him what they 1699 02:19:49,760 --> 02:19:53,840 told you when you told them about the development? 1700 02:19:52,000 --> 02:19:58,479 » Well, I went to Aggie Park and I think I've told him once before, but I went to 1701 02:19:55,520 --> 02:20:02,399 Aggie Park and the CEO of Bill Millers is an Aggie and I'm like, "When are you 1702 02:19:59,840 --> 02:20:08,399 going to build me my Bill Bill Millers?" He's like, "Well, 16004 hit, COVID hit. 1703 02:20:05,840 --> 02:20:11,600 We went to some redesigns, but because I thought it was going to be this year, 1704 02:20:09,520 --> 02:20:16,399 but he's like,"Well, not not this year, but soon." And then I said, "Well, it's 1705 02:20:14,080 --> 02:20:20,000 kind of funny. We got some town homes going in there. We we we potentially may 1706 02:20:18,560 --> 02:20:24,720 have a hotel. We're going to have some other retail that's in there. We got the 1707 02:20:22,160 --> 02:20:30,240 dentist office here. And we have a Chipotle quick lube that we're work 1708 02:20:27,280 --> 02:20:34,560 quick lube of some sort in there." And I'm not exaggerating when he said 1709 02:20:32,160 --> 02:20:40,479 quickloop. Oh, well then that's they have a term for it where it's it's not 1710 02:20:37,520 --> 02:20:46,319 hits, it's not visits, it's exposures. And some term where you drive by and 1711 02:20:43,760 --> 02:20:49,520 then you have an opportunity. Oh, there's a you get in a quick lube. I'm 1712 02:20:48,560 --> 02:20:52,880 going to go to the waterburger. I'm going to go to Bill Miller. And so he 1713 02:20:50,880 --> 02:21:00,080 was he he was optimistic that it might actually drive up sales. And so, but I'm 1714 02:20:56,640 --> 02:21:03,439 just looking at this and whether or not that thing is here, which which is 1715 02:21:01,920 --> 02:21:06,800 covered by a Bill Miller. There's going to be office buildings here. There's a 1716 02:21:05,439 --> 02:21:12,000 dentist office here. There's another dentist office that's being developed 1717 02:21:08,479 --> 02:21:17,439 right here. Um, you're not This is Pond Hill. It goes up like this. And the town 1718 02:21:14,960 --> 02:21:22,399 homes are over here. Whether it's on this side or that side, I'm just saying 1719 02:21:20,479 --> 02:21:26,399 I don't see the advantages. And I've talked to to Mark about this and I've 1720 02:21:24,240 --> 02:21:30,160 said, "Hey, several people have told me that they would like to see it on this 1721 02:21:28,560 --> 02:21:34,880 side and he's like, "It doesn't work because of the engineering." But if I'm 1722 02:21:32,720 --> 02:21:39,680 just being completely objective, not arguing with anyone, is there really an 1723 02:21:37,920 --> 02:21:43,920 advantage to being on the west or the east side? 1724 02:21:41,600 --> 02:21:50,479 And there's a little feeder road. Yeah. 1725 02:21:46,160 --> 02:21:54,000 Right here you can access into here. how much traffic is really residential 1726 02:21:52,640 --> 02:21:57,840 traffic is going to be coming from here to there that's really going to care 1727 02:21:55,359 --> 02:22:04,880 whether there's I just don't see it. I'm just not trying to argue just pointing 1728 02:22:00,399 --> 02:22:08,080 that out. Okay, Conraan, >> correct me if I'm wrong, but I think 1729 02:22:06,240 --> 02:22:12,800 Pete's getting to the visual effect of this place and and what what it looks 1730 02:22:11,120 --> 02:22:19,120 like. If you I spent some time over there and 1731 02:22:15,680 --> 02:22:26,319 trying to walk walk it and look and it I'm guessing that because it would be 1732 02:22:22,240 --> 02:22:33,439 behind Starbucks and it to your what you're talking about the grade and it 1733 02:22:28,560 --> 02:22:38,720 would be less visible. Um is is that yeah so that's the idea. So maybe we go 1734 02:22:36,399 --> 02:22:42,000 with that idea and just understand that maybe there's really nice landscaping 1735 02:22:40,720 --> 02:22:47,680 like I was talking about earlier or something like that the commitment on on 1736 02:22:43,680 --> 02:22:50,960 your part um to make that happen. >> Okay. 1737 02:22:48,319 --> 02:22:57,200 » Yes. Definitely open to that. >> Yeah. Okay. Um I think we've talked 1738 02:22:53,680 --> 02:23:03,040 around the issue on pizza motion. Uh you have two choices. 1739 02:22:59,760 --> 02:23:08,479 Um, you can approve Pete's motion, you can amend Pete's motion. Three options. 1740 02:23:05,600 --> 02:23:12,439 You can or you can vote down Pete's motion and start over. 1741 02:23:12,720 --> 02:23:20,720 So, we have a motion and a second. Is anybody offering anything different? 1742 02:23:18,800 --> 02:23:24,600 Because Pete said, "Well, if you want to amend it, amend it." 1743 02:23:26,640 --> 02:23:31,120 Conrad >> or Buddy. 1744 02:23:30,240 --> 02:23:33,760 » Go ahead, buddy. >> I mean, I'll give Pete the option. If if 1745 02:23:32,800 --> 02:23:37,040 you don't want to take the option, I'll amend it. 1746 02:23:34,479 --> 02:23:41,264 » Okay. Well, then we'll consider the amendment. 1747 02:23:37,520 --> 02:23:41,264 » Your paper down. [laughter] 1748 02:23:47,200 --> 02:23:56,080 » No. >> Yeah, I will. I'll use your notes. 1749 02:23:51,439 --> 02:24:02,880 Motion to approve ordinance 0 20263. um 1750 02:23:58,720 --> 02:24:09,439 chapter 36 uh automotive quickl facility as special use permit uh B1B2/B2 1751 02:24:06,640 --> 02:24:15,280 business uh districts under the following conditions and the restaurant 1752 02:24:11,760 --> 02:24:18,880 prerequisite uh approval of any special use permit for an automotive quick loop 1753 02:24:17,280 --> 02:24:24,080 service facility shall be contingent upon the developer fully satisfying all 1754 02:24:21,280 --> 02:24:30,000 commitments presented to the city council regarding the establishment of 1755 02:24:25,920 --> 02:24:34,560 of a restaurant.
