[0:14] Search testing continues throughout the year every day of the week and it continues to effort in the continued effort to provide free COVID-19 search testing.
[0:22] The Wicked McKinney County Public Health District and the Wicked McKinney County Office of Emergency Management have contracted with the Ardvark Mobile Health to provide a mobile COVID-19 testing platform.
[0:34] The small truck can park on a space equivalent to two parking spaces and can configure the testing location to accommodate two testing lines.
[0:42] The COVID-19 mobile testing truck can be deployed as fully self-contained unit with its own onboard power, onboard air conditioning, heat and ability to provide easy positive or negative pressure.
[0:52] to keep the clinician safe while they supervise the free COVID testing.
[0:58] Service in June lines from the top clinicians can administer up to 50-500 tests a day.
[1:05] The tests administered from the mobile testing site will be saliva tests provided through the federal community
[1:10] based testing site program that started in Waco back in mid-October.
[1:15] The mobile platform provides flexibility to ring testing directly to businesses and community members in much larger area
[1:21] and previously offered community members, our businesses can request the testing to be deployed
[1:26] to their particular business or event, by contacting the wake of office of the McLean again,
[1:31] at wake of McLean County Office of Emergency Management, by calling 75-05-9-1-1. Testing dates,
[1:38] locations, and pre-registration links can be found at www.publicwake.com,
[1:42] and pre-registration is highly recommended. As these are saliva tests, no food, drink, or rushing
[1:48] should be done a half hour prior to the test.
[1:51] OECO Water Utility Services began at the system wide cleaning on October 26, and will continue
[1:57] until approximately November 28.
[1:59] This consists of facing the disinfectant in the water from monoclorines to chlorine only
[2:05] for the purpose of refreshing the entire system.
[2:08] This type of cleaning is recognized by the American Water Works Association as best management
[2:12] practice and is proven to sustain high quality water, reduce maintenance and extend the overall
[2:17] life of the overall water system. The water is completely safe to use and consume. The only
[2:23] noticeable impact consumers may be is a bleach or a chlorine smell in the water or a temporary
[2:28] basis.
[2:29] The most of the University Park's drive from Webster to Franklin was scheduled to be closed
[2:33] starting October 30th. There were a lot of contractors to install large nine by nine box
[2:37] polvers under the street as part of the utility upgrades in the area. Due to the recent
[2:42] rains, the projects started to start late, was moved to November the 9th, area of businesses
[2:47] are being notified in advance to message board and each of our signs are in place to help
[2:53] direct drivers around the project.
[2:55] University Park's drive is expected to be closed for at least a month.
[3:00] Coming up on Saturday, November the 14th, Solid Waste Services will have a scrap of our recycling
[3:05] day out at 501 Stroden Relocation and Council District 3 cleanup day, scheduled for Saturday,
[3:10] November the 23rd.
[3:12] I can please my report.
[3:17] Thank you, Larry Greg report, as always.
[3:18] Always great to see all the
[3:20] what the claims that are going on in the wake of.
[3:22] Thank you.
[3:23] Thank you, Larry.
[3:24] You will see on your agenda this afternoon that
[3:27] ordinance 2027-68 precedes the public hearing.
[3:32] This is the second hearing of the ordinance to
[3:34] establish a municipal draining utility system.
[3:38] We do have three public hearings today.
[3:40] Over 30, 20, 20, 7, 69 will be conducted for the adoption of the schedule of drainage charges
[3:46] for the municipal drainage utility system. As has been discussed previously,
[3:51] the issuance of bills for these fees will begin on October 1, 2021.
[3:56] Prior to the issuance of any bills, staff will present to the City Council a table of credits
[4:01] available to non-residential customers. These credits will be presented for consideration prior
[4:07] Council's consideration of the FY21-22 budget and fee schedule for the drainage utility.
[4:15] Council will note the need to first consider on final reading but ordinance for aid in
[4:18] the utility prior to conducting this public hearing and considering this resolution.
[4:26] Can't George, economic development manager, will review public hearing 2027-70 in the
[4:31] work session.
[4:37] This is, this is Holmes, a map, a real bad reception here, even in C also, I can't, I'm not hearing it very well, but is this an appropriate time?
[4:46] Can you hear me? Okay, it's for sure.
[4:54] Okay, that's for me, she's a appropriate time to talk on this ordinance in this public hearing on 768, 769,
[5:02] or, you know, I'm not, I'm not, I don't think that, that, that, that, that either is saying.
[5:09] But I will proceed with my comments on on the stormwater of fees.
[5:15] And if you can, if you can hear me.
[5:17] Yes.
[5:18] Yes.
[5:18] You're seeing can.
[5:22] Again, this is that like $124 million of the projects in stormwater over the next 10 years
[5:26] that we're talking about and just to say a couple of comments.
[5:30] First, you know, all the work that staff has done on this, as well as our consultant walk
[5:34] with partners, and our need to kind of target the cash flow stream to service this
[5:42] seat for the city.
[5:44] And again, as CEO at First City, I know it's always important to match sources and uses,
[5:48] and we're having a lot of use in this stormwater cost that we're servicing out of general
[5:59] And we're starting to reach a critical mass
[6:01] and seeing a lot of emergency tests spending with stormwater.
[6:07] So, well, and again, using general fund doesn't seem to be matching costs
[6:12] and sources and uses and sources.
[6:17] So anyway,
[6:20] using properties and sales tax to fund this,
[6:22] I think this counts as laying it on creating this utility fee,
[6:26] because it's been a lot of deferred maintenance, obviously, and I get the states to
[6:31] emergency funding and stormwater. We reached out to see what other cities were doing,
[6:36] and the stormwater utilities are relatively common practice in Texas, as we've seen that
[6:44] to the Walker Party did. And I see this as really a pathway to some property tax relief, too,
[6:50] we're actually now using. That's the only source to address the problem. The problem is
[6:57] to use property taxes and sales taxes. So I think this has been a thoughtful process. We're
[7:03] reviewing the initial piece. And it appears to me that we're leaving the room to fine-tune,
[7:12] look it outliers, be sensitive to what the process is. We're going to consider some credits.
[7:17] And what I really don't want to be is a burden to small businesses and that's, we don't,
[7:27] I just very sensitive to, as we enrolled this, I don't want this to be a burden there.
[7:35] And as I read page 42 of the presentation today, I think it creates,
[7:41] Um, allows us time for the development testing, the development of a calculator, the development
[7:49] of a budget for the utility, including projected revenues and expenditures, and this is
[7:55] the important part as well as reductions in general fund expense,
[7:59] and the council have the
[8:00] opportunity to review the budget and fees for stormwater fees when considering our budget
[8:06] fee schedule and prior to the presentation in that 21, 21, 22 budget
[8:13] fee schedule, staff will propose the City Council listed the credits available.
[8:17] So I appreciate the responsiveness that staff has had in this process on stone
[8:22] water.
[8:24] I think that the draft is elegant as well in the ordinance, you know, specifically at
[8:34] 26368C, we're
[8:43] going to review these fees at any time, and 26371,
[8:47] where we talk about exemptions.
[8:49] And also, I think, legal staff has added some beef to the,
[8:56] specifically 26368C, where we talk about credits,
[9:01] and also in the resolution itself,
[9:04] talking about 60 days prior to our council consideration of
[9:09] 2021-22. Again, this won't go in the fact until, like, 2021-22. Again, it took today's
[9:17] advance. We're really looking at the overall feed structure one last time. So when I think
[9:23] this has evolved into a good process, it's still a year out. And again, appreciate everything
[9:31] in the staff and the consultants that are going to bring this together.
[9:39] You did cut out a little bit, but I think we've got the just of what you were saying.
[9:46] What point out that you referred to some changes that were drafted at your request?
[9:53] Those are not in the ordinance that have been presented to Council.
[9:58] And so if that were the desire of the Council to make those changes,
[10:03] that would need to be an emotion of proving.
[10:05] Okay,
[10:08] do I need to kind of outline what those are, I mean there's slight modifications but I don't think
[10:15] can those be circulated somehow or how should I do that?
[10:21] Yes, and if you don't mind, can I remember homes?
[10:25] Maybe I can read them to the records since you are freezing if you don't mind.
[10:31] Please, thank you.
[10:32] Okay, so, you have the language?
[10:44] Council to the ordnance, the revision that was drafted
[10:49] to address Council Member Holmes stated confirmed
[10:52] from last meeting was to 26-368C
[10:59] and as drafted, it now says,
[11:02] the director shall administer credits on monthly billings
[11:05] for non-residential properties
[11:07] in accordance with the schedule of drainage fee credits as approved by the City Council.
[11:14] So, Kassner Verhol just wanted to make it more clear.
[11:17] If you remember, we discussed that those credits would come back to you,
[11:20] but he just wanted the ordinance to be more clear,
[11:22] and that is what that drafted language in 10.
[11:29] Is that the only change?
[11:31] Yeah, that's the only change to the ordinance.
[11:33] Now, to the resolution, the change was the green.
[11:41] The change is that at least 60 days prior to the City Council's consideration of the fiscal year 2021,
[11:49] 22 operating budget fee schedule for the drainage utility fund.
[11:54] The city manager type proposed for consideration by the City Council's schedule of drainage fee credits,
[11:59] available to qualified non-single-family residential property.
[12:02] So again, addressing the process of us coming back to y'all with that.
[12:12] I can't remember any and you said 60 days correct.
[12:16] I did.
[12:17] Okay.
[12:18] Thank you.
[12:20] Thanks, Jennifer.
[12:23] That's all I had.
[12:24] I remember home.
[12:26] They had prepared one of the offices upstairs.
[12:28] If you'd like to connect to that office.
[12:33] To see you at least.
[12:34] The office and then come upstairs.
[12:37] Okay.
[12:40] Thank you.
[12:49] And while he does that, I'll just follow up a little bit.
[12:51] You know, I don't, I mean, I think some, you know, taking into account and y'all be able to
[12:55] consider new year for now, whatever the credits look like in terms of existing mitigations
[13:00] for stormwater stuff that y'all might want to consider.
[13:03] So as long as that's as far as we're going with this, I'm okay with that.
[13:07] When it comes to, you know, Councilor Holmes mentioned, you know, this might be offsetting
[13:14] and providing property tax relief in the future.
[13:16] I mean, let's remember that we're talking about a three quarters of a billion dollar
[13:20] system here that has no dedicated funding up until we approve this. And that while currently
[13:27] the only mechanism for funding improvements and maintenance of what not to this three quarters
[13:31] of a billion dollar system within our community is general fund dollars that doesn't mean
[13:35] that we're actually spending that much on the system right now. And so I would, as y'all consider
[13:42] the budget next year in subsequent years, I would be very careful in terms of considering the
[13:48] the revenue generator from this that is going straight to that system to be in any way
[13:53] some sort of an offset that could provide general fund relief because this is a system that
[14:00] has been underinvested in for quite some time. Again, general fund dollars are the only mechanism
[14:05] by which they could be funded right now but that doesn't mean they've been funded that much.
[14:10] And so I would, I personally see the this fee and this utility creation is additive to the general
[14:16] to the overall city resources as opposed to an offset or replacement.
[14:22] But that's just my consideration as I approve this.
[14:25] But obviously, y'all are the ones that will get to consider that in the future.
[14:29] But I just wanted to let y'all know that.
[14:39] As far as resolutions, there are 20 resolutions today, and at last you'll highlight the following.
[14:46] Resolution 2020-777, a proven agreement with the Waikoma Planning County Economic Development
[14:52] corporation in an amount not to exceed 3.4 million dollars and supported the upgrade of Mars drive and
[15:00] Old Hewitt road in industrial thoroughfares in Texas Central Park. This is both an investment in our infrastructure, as well as an economic development effort towards business retention, as several of our large employers utilize this roadway to conduct business.
[15:15] I'd like to thank the county through WebMag for their participation, their partnership, which has enabled the city to begin this work during FY21, without any impact on our property tax rate.
[15:27] You'll hear more of this item from Kent in the work sessions.
[15:33] Resolution 2027-79,
[15:35] Approose the contract with the animal birth control clinic
[15:38] to provide low cost pay in new resources for a total amount,
[15:42] not $166,000.
[15:46] ABC provides these services for all cats and dogs,
[15:49] owned by Waco residents who meet certain income qualifications.
[15:53] They have been providing these services October 2013
[15:56] from October 2019 through August 2020, they performed almost 1,700 surgeries and
[16:03] close to 1,000 microchips. Their trap, new to return programs, their lives, and
[16:08] airship nearly 1,200 feral outdoor cats. We certainly would not have been able to
[16:14] achieve no kill status for our shelter or have months like September, but the
[16:18] 95% live exit rate without key community partners like ABC. And finally,
[16:26] I just wanted to call them out.
[16:28] I mean, the work that Cary and them do over at ABC is fantastic.
[16:31] And the money we're providing to them is a bargain.
[16:34] I mean, they've been great partners
[16:36] with us through this whole process of re-bamping the animal shelter
[16:39] and going through the getting us to the notes, kill, policy,
[16:43] and they've been carrying our team
[16:44] and then specifically helpful to me
[16:46] on numerous occasions and dealing with federal cat issues
[16:49] with them for some of my neighborhoods.
[16:51] And other just animal nuisance concerns.
[16:53] And so this is this is this this is money incredibly well-stint and I'm glad we're calling them out and I just wanted to reiterate
[17:00] The really great work they're doing and how they know now it really doesn't benefit the city is all
[17:05] John I I agree with that and I appreciate to say in that I think it's really important for the council members
[17:10] We were not on council when we went through the transformation
[17:14] At the end of the shelter understand how important these relations are and John's right this is this is money that
[17:21] As we have it ends over and over again.
[17:24] This is a great, this is a great relationship.
[17:26] We need to get that
[17:32] back.
[17:32] Resolution 202784 awards a contract at ACS
[17:36] commercial general contractor for the debt
[17:38] and the improvement project in an amount,
[17:41] 960, 3.29 million dollars.
[17:44] An exhibition of 5% construction contingency,
[17:47] so that the total authorization
[17:48] does 980, 3.45 million dollars.
[17:53] This contract represents over a mile
[17:54] Street Improvements and Associated Water and Waste Water Improvements in Debt and Avenue from 11th Street to 26th Street and is a big investment for infrastructure in South Waco.
[18:06] Council will note this date came in at 18% below the engineers estimate.
[18:13] Thank you so much for highlighting this. I just wanted to say I'm very excited about this project and of course it has my full support.
[18:20] you know, this is one of the streets that I'm definitely
[18:23] need some TLC in South Waco and I think former city manager
[18:29] widely described it as a mini roller coaster.
[18:35] And I think that's put in very kindly and nicely.
[18:38] And so I'm very glad to see that this project is moving forward
[18:42] in this next budget year.
[18:44] I know that the folks who South Waco are very grateful for the work
[18:47] that's being done on 26th street already.
[18:49] And of course, this will complement it coming from 11,
[18:52] by the way, the 26 down that avenue.
[18:54] So, thank you so much for including this and this resolution.
[18:57] I have my full support.
[19:02] There are four ordinances today.
[19:04] Or this 202792 is a first reading that a men section
[19:07] two dash, 51 in division four, sustainable resources,
[19:11] practices advisory board.
[19:13] This ordinance was assessed on the last
[19:15] President audit committee meeting
[19:17] and is presented for council consideration on first reading today.
[19:21] So, we're just clarifies the mission and purpose of the board and provides for greater
[19:26] flexibility in the board's membership.
[19:30] Or, it's 2020.
[19:32] I'm sorry.
[19:33] Did you work quick?
[19:33] Can I go back to ordinance 792?
[19:36] I'm also very glad that we are redefining the mission and the purpose of this board.
[19:41] I think we have definitely, Council, I have definitely heard the concerns of our constituency
[19:46] that are very concerned about the environment and how the cities responding to the changes
[19:51] that we're having in climate.
[19:52] and so I think this is just one of the first of many steps that we will take to make sure
[19:57] that our city is being as proactive as we can to make sure that we're taking care of our
[20:02] environment and I think we're just making sure that we are redefining what this board does and
[20:09] and what it brings to the table I think that's just the first step and so I'm so glad that we're
[20:14] moving forward this as well.
[20:18] Ordinance 2020-793 is a second reading of the impact these ordinance
[20:23] Can't we review this item with you in work session?
[20:28] And if there are any other questions, then that will conclude our report.
[20:33] Thank you, data.
[20:33] Are there any items Council would like to remove from the consent agenda?
[20:39] All right.
[20:40] Seeing none, we did receive a comment card on Resolution 2020-782.
[20:45] So it will be pulled from the consent agenda and voted on separately.
[20:49] And the consent agenda will be resolution 2020-746 through 2020-791 with the exception
[20:56] in the resolution of 2020-782, and I will turn it over to Peter at the end of the next
[21:01] episode.
[21:14] Thank you, Mayor City Council.
[21:18] We did want to give you just a brief recap of the impact fee ordinance that Council did
[21:23] approve that on first reading at the last meeting and then go over the state requirements
[21:29] for updating and amending the ordinance and then the role of the capital improvements
[21:34] advisory committee moving forward.
[21:38] So as you all know, we, we have spent the better part of two years working on this impact
[21:44] fee ordinance with our consultants, raising neck holes in the advisory committee, and then
[21:53] our development stakeholders, we have a developer's group that meets monthly and then we've
[21:59] also worked real closely with the Heart of Texas Builders Association and the Synthex
[22:04] Association of General Contractors and putting this ordinance together and then the policy
[22:11] considerations that are part of the ordinance. So we do feel like the fee structure that's
[22:15] included is that is size appropriately for Waco. We did land on a fee structure that's
[22:21] about 30% of the calculated fee through our land use assumptions, which is our projected growth
[22:29] in our CIP, which is the infrastructure that's needed to accommodate that growth.
[22:36] And that 30% is 20% less than what the state law allows you to charge for impact fees.
[22:43] When we do feel like our rate to proposal does provide some leverage for our general fund
[22:53] and our utility fees, while still allowing those negative potential negative impacts not
[23:00] to happen on the development.
[23:03] We also, in our ordinance, we do have a delayed effective date in a phase-in approach.
[23:08] This does limit the impact on current or pipeline developments that have already had their
[23:15] performance put together, that this would have limited impact on those.
[23:21] And then it also allows opportunity to update ordinance before full implementation.
[23:27] So what we are proposing actually doesn't get fully implemented until 2025.
[23:31] It has the effective data June 1st, 2021, and then the phase in for
[23:39] Placts that are in place now doesn't fully get to the full fee until
[23:44] 2025. So we have the opportunity to pivot on on this ordinance if we determine that there's
[23:50] some things that need to be changed as we start implementing it over the next couple of years.
[23:54] And then it also does include considerations that meet council priorities.
[24:01] We have exemptions for infill development for single family that are built in the court
[24:07] of the city, or exempt completely from impact fees and then for commercial development within
[24:14] the court of city, and some of our more traditional older commercial corridors.
[24:19] There is a reduction of a 50%.
[24:22] And that also does provide for an exemption for affordable housing, and then it has several sections
[24:29] in the ordinance that deal with the economic development.
[24:33] Whether that be legacy development that can be, that can move or expand without being charged
[24:40] to fee, or those businesses on some of our traditional commercial corridors, or even fee waivers
[24:48] for a large economic development projects that come into our city.
[24:55] At a quick question, we're just more of a confirmation.
[24:58] The waiver for affordable housing developments, that is citywide, right?
[25:03] That's not just in the core of the city.
[25:04] Correct.
[25:04] That would be citywide, and there are criteria for that that are spelled out in the
[25:08] ordinance.
[25:09] Yep.
[25:10] All right.
[25:10] Thank you.
[25:12] So, chapter 395, the local government code does provide requirements on how the
[25:19] In fact, the ordinance is updated or revised, there's kind of two paths that you can take.
[25:27] Every five years, the state law does require that you update your land use of assumptions in your capital improvement plan.
[25:34] And so that's a longer process, that path does require you to work with a consultant and engineering firm consultant
[25:43] To develop those land use assumptions or review those land use assumptions which are your growth projections and then the capital improvement plan
[25:55] Which are your infrastructures that are needed to accommodate that projected growth. So that is required every five years
[26:03] and it does follow a public hearing process
[26:07] for the land use assumption approval,
[26:10] TIP approval, and then any changes in the ordinance.
[26:14] There is a separate process.
[26:17] If we just want a shorter process,
[26:19] if we just want to change the fee,
[26:23] so that's where you already have your calculated amount,
[26:26] because the way the state law works,
[26:27] you can charge anything from zero,
[26:30] dollars up to the calculated maximum of what the fee is,
[26:35] what your land use assumption in your
[26:36] government plan say.
[26:39] And that process is shorter.
[26:40] So that just requires 30 day public notice
[26:44] and then a recommendation from the
[26:46] capital improvement advisory committee
[26:48] at least five business days before that
[26:50] public hearing.
[26:52] And then city council does have to act on that
[26:55] any revisions to that ordinance within 30 days
[26:58] of the public hearing.
[27:02] And then the role of the advisory committee moving
[27:05] forward in the just for a refresher.
[27:09] The advisory committee is our plank commission and then four
[27:12] ad hoc members made up of development community and they
[27:17] will continue to play a role moving forward.
[27:21] And then you can see here that the requirements of the three
[27:24] down the five for what the role is.
[27:26] It's a modern value of implementation to the CIP reviews
[27:31] in the annual report, so they will meet every six months.
[27:35] Their first meeting will not be until December, because our effective date is not
[27:40] till June and Thursday next year, so, and then they will review and then provide input on
[27:47] reports with respect to the CIP and then any perceived inequities in implementing the plan
[27:53] or imposing the impact fees.
[27:54] And then obviously advising the city council of any need to update or revise our land use
[28:00] assumptions, CIP, or impact fees moving forward.
[28:04] And with that, I'd be happy to answer any questions regarding the ordinance, or the
[28:09] role this CIC, or any revisions or updates that are required by state law.
[28:18] Any questions or comments in the council?
[28:21] This is Holmes moving into a different space here.
[28:25] This is the first behind me, I'm not sure.
[28:29] That's it.
[28:32] That was rattle bit.
[28:34] Now it's, thanks so much, man.
[28:36] I think staff had worked.
[28:37] The tails off for two years here, getting this going.
[28:42] And just seeing, over the next 10 years,
[28:45] we have a 165 million projects with roadways, water, and wastewater, you know,
[28:50] it's so, it's not all be concerned about how we, how we can help with this.
[28:57] We're going to need it as we continue to grow.
[28:59] These kind of projects place a higher stress on property taxes and, again, the general fund.
[29:06] In the impact piece, I like the concept, you know, based on where there's the need for the rose waters and wastewater.
[29:13] That's where the impact and the costs and the revenues that are created.
[29:21] So, that said, I mean, there's a delicate balance that we all know about, of continuing
[29:26] this great growth that we have in Waco and keeping developers going and growing our city
[29:33] and putting this impact to the place as we need to kind of carton the horse and take a paper
[29:39] and take the paper from the get there and they've got to be there to pay for it.
[29:44] So this is a, you know, a lot of other cities are doing his example, many of his impact
[29:49] thing.
[29:50] We've been going through this two-year process, plus of, of, and longer as, as, as the mayor
[29:55] will, we'll, we'll, we'll, I think this was discussed when I first got on council five years ago.
[30:01] So we've been working a long time again. I appreciate everything that folks have. The residential side to this is, you know, pretty, pretty simple kind of wiggity as I would say. It's five year phase in $4500 a lot. We're pushing out the entire effective date until next year. And grandfathering in a lot of the plating that we're talking about. And again, it's not paid until the thing is permitted. And there are some exemptions for parts of the city that we've already talked about.
[30:31] commercial, same kind of phase, and it's five or five of your phase in on that to legacy
[30:36] business exemptions. The no change in use exemption if you're using that for the same
[30:42] deal you'd have to re-up the impact fee. And there's some urban core exemptions. I think
[30:48] again, very thoughtful about how we've done this. The fee calculations on the commercial side
[30:54] are obviously a little bit more complex. And if you can tell that by just looking at the
[30:58] at the ordinance. It's a very complex calculation, because there's more different different
[31:05] types, industrial manufacturing, retail, hotel, whatever, a lot of different ways to do it.
[31:13] Different forms to calculate. I know that we are building this calculator based on the initial
[31:21] In this whole fee structure that we will be looking at today and reviewing today.
[31:28] And I'm just a firm, a proponent of having that fee structure eliminate unintended consequences.
[31:34] Even though I have fully aware that it's a five year phase in.
[31:41] I'm a proponent of seeing what that looks like or using that fee structure.
[31:47] And placing that fee structure on what would have happened or the new growth that would
[31:51] happen in 2019 and 2020 to say, you know, at a 20% this was only going to raise a million
[31:58] dollars or work.
[32:00] Because right now, I still don't have a feeling, I don't want to be critical of the process
[32:03] because I know that we've done a lot of work to get this far.
[32:06] But as a last step, I would like to have seen what would this fee structure do to what happened
[32:11] in 2019. Does that with does that fee structure raise a million dollars? $50 million? $500?
[32:21] I don't have a good feel for that, and maybe staff has a better feel than I do for it.
[32:27] But I don't have any idea of scale on what the structure will be.
[32:30] But anyway, that's my only observation on it, because I agree with the capital improvements
[32:35] the Advisory Committee that we're seeing
[32:37] Mark, we were in good shape on residential
[32:39] but the commercial was another 60 days,
[32:43] 90 days could have helped us.
[32:45] But I'm very thankful that you went through
[32:48] how we changed the path for changing the fees.
[32:51] It's a little simpler than I anticipated.
[32:54] It's basically setting a public hearing,
[32:57] incorporating advisory committee comments.
[32:59] I think it's very important that you bring up the point
[33:01] on this slide that CIAAC stays plugged into this process.
[33:07] So it's not the end all that we talk about the fees today.
[33:13] But the process of setting public hearing, getting CIAAC feedback and then having
[33:16] a council vote on it.
[33:18] I think there's then having an official semi-annual review of the CIAAC.
[33:23] It's very important.
[33:24] I always try to express my appreciation to staff because that was one of the questions I had
[33:29] the last meeting, thanks for putting this account. That's all I am.
[33:37] Thank you, Council Member Holmes. John, you've come.
[33:40] Yeah, I'll just, I mean, just real quick. I mean, I'm still very supportive of these, both residential and commercial.
[33:47] I can appreciate my colleagues desire to see kind of what would have happened in the past, but
[33:53] I think as our consultants have told us, just the fact that there are so many carve-outs, exceptions,
[33:58] phase it ends and just you know sessions that we have that we've created that this is a
[34:05] very it's a new one and it's more complicated than most other impact the plans that are
[34:10] adopted in the state and has such it could be difficult to really ascertain what it would have
[34:13] looked like and I think that given the runway that we have for implementation again with the
[34:20] phases as well as the carve outs and the exemptions and the exceptions and all the other things
[34:25] we've done to attempt to accommodate all concerns surrounding the implementation and just the adoption
[34:32] of these fees.
[34:33] I mean, I think that what we're what is being proposed and what we're trying to do is reasonable
[34:38] and necessary to help promote and support the infrastructure development needed to address
[34:44] the growth in our community and I, and I actually, you know, I'm curious, I'm just curious
[34:49] as customer homes, as to just what the actual revenue collected and impact will be, the adoption
[34:56] of these fees, particularly over the first five years, as well as kind of just going forward.
[35:01] I mean, I hope that it actually does do what we are prescribing and expecting it to do in terms
[35:07] of providing the support necessary in the infrastructure development and financing of the projects needed
[35:15] to help support the growth that's happening in our community.
[35:19] But overall, I mean, I hear what he's saying, and I think staff's going to
[35:24] get job addressing those concerns and I think the process, the procedures are well in place.
[35:29] This should there be any issues arise, or should there be any adverse,
[35:33] unforeseen consequences, or things that happen the way we might not necessarily expect
[35:38] them to, that there's plenty of plenty of room for remedy for the council to take down the road
[35:43] to make sure that all needs are addressed while still achieving the goal of these, which is to help
[35:49] need it to fund the growth of our community.
[35:56] This is like, I do have a couple of questions.
[35:58] So I just can't just thank you so much for the presentation.
[36:01] I want to make sure that I ask the questions that I think are very pertinent.
[36:08] In the presentation, you mentioned that the piece structure and the project will be reviewed
[36:16] in my annually, and they will be reported back to Council, correct?
[36:20] That's correct.
[36:21] And we would do that for how long.
[36:24] It's a requirement for the full length of the program.
[36:28] So that's a, that will be on the calendar.
[36:30] They'll meet every six months.
[36:33] And so, Councillor should expect a report every six months about the updates,
[36:38] modifications or changes that it will be recommended by the advisory group.
[36:43] Correct. You'll get a report from the advisory committee every six months.
[36:48] Okay, and then the first year is 20% so because it goes into effect June 1st, that takes
[36:55] us to make 31st of 2022 correct and then from there on it, it'll go 40% 60% 80% and
[37:02] until we reached 100% a year five.
[37:05] That is correct, so for developments that have a plenary plan approved, you know, has a, you
[37:12] know, the approval date of the ordinance, those, those developments for those
[37:17] that that ability to phase in over time, so 20, 40, 60, 80 percent, and then up ultimately
[37:24] through the 100 percent in June 1st, 20, 25.
[37:29] And then I'm glad to hear that because it gives a while we're monitoring this.
[37:34] I'm glad that we can make modifications if we need to.
[37:37] And as Council Member Holmes mentioned, that the process to make modifications is not very
[37:42] difficult doesn't require a lot of hoops without what I would say. The other only
[37:48] question can we make it a priority to get this calculator online 90 days before
[37:56] June 1st or 120 days before June 1st just so we can start looking through it
[38:02] or developers can start looking through it and we have the ability to even maybe make
[38:07] changes if needed before the June 1st effective date.
[38:12] Yes, that's our plan to have the calculator that the consultants are starting to work
[38:17] on that, to have a calculator ready by early spring, and then we can take that out to not
[38:24] only train staff, but take it to the development community so they can see it and train them
[38:31] on out of use it as well.
[38:33] Okay.
[38:33] Thank you so much.
[38:34] Those were my questions.
[38:37] I want to thank you for the clarity in this presentation.
[38:42] I'm the question is regarding the CIC, is there any opportunity to, is this the commission
[38:53] structure that it role, I mean, that additions or subtractions are made like we do regular
[38:59] boards and commissions because if someone was interested in participating in CIC or lending
[39:04] and other perspective, is that some way that they could then be a part of the process?
[39:11] So, and we go ahead and help me with this, but the way the resolution that set up the advisory
[39:18] committee has it where it's automatically the Plan Commission members, so if you're on the Plan
[39:22] Commission, you're automatically on the CIEC, and then the four additional members were appointed,
[39:32] And then the way it works is that they have the same procedural process as the Plan Commission members so they're appointed to the same term limits in terms as the Plan Commission members.
[39:46] So there are some requirements that those members are made up of the development community and then since we have impact fees in the ETA that one of them has to be at own property or live in the ETA.
[39:59] but those would be a point in members by the council.
[40:04] Thank you for that clarity.
[40:10] I'll just to follow it to Mayor Pro Tem's question to the four guys that are on there now,
[40:17] they serve through what they, September of 2021,
[40:26] or, to the, what I think I'll back and see when
[40:30] officially appointed, but they'll serve a three-year term, and then they can be
[40:34] re-appointed for another potential three-year term.
[40:38] Okay, all right.
[40:42] Any further questions or comments?
[40:46] As relevant do we have a corridor on this item?
[40:49] Sir, we do, but it's actually going to be read for the Board of
[40:57] Minister for doing the business session.
[40:59] It'll be read during the session.
[41:01] That's not very good.
[41:03] All right, well, Clint, thank you and your staff so much for all the work that's going
[41:07] into this and also want to thank the CIC and thank commission as well as Assistant City Manager
[41:14] Paul Caine and our City Attorney in Denver team for all the work that's going into this
[41:17] over these last several years.
[41:19] Appreciate you all getting us to this point and the forward to taking action on that item tonight.
[41:26] Thank you.
[41:27] We'll move to our next item.
[41:30] All right, Mayor.
[41:31] council. We now we have Kent George economic development manager and he will be just
[41:36] as an economic development impact agenda item.
[41:44] Good afternoon, honorable Mayor and city council.
[41:47] We've got a few economic development items for your consideration this afternoon.
[41:53] Two of those are tiff related to Mary on AC contract amendment and the two of our contract
[41:57] extension. We've got one one web make related item with the Mars drive improvements.
[42:02] First, I'm Marriott AC, located at Marriott Avenue in South-Six Street.
[42:09] This is the first rendering of most recent renderings we have with the project.
[42:13] As you can see here, this is a view from Marriott Avenue in South-Six Street.
[42:17] One thing I wanted to point out on this rendering is the art wall that you see here.
[42:22] That's still in development.
[42:24] It's still in a consideration by the Marriott corporate group.
[42:27] Not all Marriott AC hotels will have this art wall.
[42:30] This is unique to the downtown project we have proposed to us today.
[42:33] As you see up in the left corner, I have a picture here for you of the current side conditions
[42:39] of the property from this perspective.
[42:43] This is a rendering of the very avenue side, as you see the facade, as you look down
[42:48] the hotel, most prominent in this rendering is the Executive Conference Center.
[42:53] The next rendering is from Jackson Avenue and South Sixth Street.
[42:56] You get the most prominent feature in this rendering is the commercial element, commercial
[43:00] Retailment of the hotel, the proposed hotel and up in the right corner you see the current conditions of the site.
[43:08] This is an overall rendering of the project and I want to take you around each piece of this as we go
[43:14] counterclockwise through the project. You see here we have the proposed parking garage and as you come around you get to the
[43:22] commercial retail element of the hotel. You have the hotel proper with the 182 rooms and you end up here at the
[43:29] of conference center. Another thing to point out on this rendering would be the decorative metal panel
[43:36] that are on the parking garage. This rendering is a little bit inaccurate. There will be decorative
[43:41] panels on the south side, as well as decorative panels on the interior side of the parking garage.
[43:53] This are a hospitality, a wake-to-down kind of vestments, a Texas-limited liability corporation
[44:00] is proposing this Marriott Hotel with the following amenities, 182 guest rooms, and
[44:06] sweets, and media salon, private bedrooms, restaurant, bar, and lounge with both indoor and
[44:12] streetscape seating, club level, fitness center, 13-hundred square foot of exterior pool with
[44:17] surrounding pool terrace, 32-hundred square foot of social entertainment area, a lobby geared towards
[44:23] social business creating an environment where socializing blends seamlessly with conducting business.
[44:28] 5-story hotel at the 105,000 square foot with two guest elevators.
[44:35] The executive conference center will feature 17,000 square foot,
[44:39] 7,700 square foot of ballroom, divisible, into five salons,
[44:43] 20 foot ceiling heights, 4,000 square foot terrace area,
[44:46] elegant urban finishes, full food and memory service.
[44:49] Instead of the archabersial audio, visual services,
[44:53] besting classic executive meeting room, seating, lighting, and acoustics.
[44:58] Full business support services.
[45:00] The Executive Conference Center will be a significant addition to Waco and complement the existing Waco Convention Center.
[45:08] The parking structure will be at five levels, the precast concrete of integral color and preferrated decorative metal panels.
[45:15] 332 park spaces will be allocated between the public needs and the private needs of the hotel, a 145 of those park spaces will be public parking, two guest elevators and an elevator lobby area.
[45:26] The commercial retail portion of the proposed hotel will contain two stories.
[45:30] It will be a total of 18,000 square foot with a second level, 2700 square foot rooftop
[45:35] terrace.
[45:37] So, as the tip for it was taking this project into consideration to make a recommendation.
[45:41] Two of the main asks from the developer was a year of additional time to complete the project.
[45:47] Obviously, COVID had a big part in that request.
[45:50] The second big item of the four amendments to the contract was lowering the appraisal dispute
[45:54] by you from $43 million to $40 million.
[45:58] And in return, the tip work considered that we're going to get $60 million of an all-in
[46:03] project that would include both the hard and soft costs, so a total investment in this
[46:07] one block of downtown would be $60 million if it offered retail, restaurant, entertainment,
[46:14] meeting of its face, parking, jobs, tax generation, and went off for the highest quality
[46:19] rooms in the market.
[46:22] So, as we start to break down the numbers here, the current income value is at $2.5 million.
[46:28] Their total construction cost went up to $47.8 million.
[46:31] They're asked for to funding his state the same.
[46:34] It's an 8.7 million dollars.
[46:37] The total construction cost, the percentage of you break it out is 18.22%.
[46:41] That's if board recommended that 8.7 million are no change.
[46:45] This broke down into public improvements at 3.7 million.
[46:49] public parking at 3.5 million city utility improvements at 637,000 and the burial of overhead
[46:56] utility lines at 800,000. Now I want to stop there because previously the amount awarded
[47:02] or the amount set aside for the burial of overhead utility lines was 500 and 50,000 but they
[47:07] shifted 250,000 from the public parking down into the burial of overhead utility lines due to the
[47:21] So, the TIF Board recommended approval of the contract amendment providing number 1, project completion date in the contract stand in one year.
[47:28] September 30, 2023 to September 30, 2024.
[47:32] Number 2, the appraisal dispute value lower from 43 million to $192,042 to $40 million.
[47:38] Number 3, the inclusion of pandemic language and the force measure clause.
[47:41] Number 4, the shift to previously approved funds of the 250,000 for public structure parking to the burial of the overhead utility lines.
[47:48] The term in this agreement will be for 14 years.
[47:54] Our next project.
[47:55] Yeah.
[47:55] Real quick.
[47:57] I'm just on this one.
[47:59] I'm, you know, I'm in favor of this.
[48:00] I mean, I think it makes sense.
[48:02] And I think all the points that the TIF board made and that the project makes are valid that this, you know, will provide
[48:08] design classrooms and the conference centers useful.
[48:11] It will be a great addition to our community.
[48:14] And so I'm, I'm good on this.
[48:16] And just real quick that the quarter million shifted from the parking to the,
[48:20] utility burial, that does not affect the number of spaces that will be allocated for public.
[48:24] No, just write it up.
[48:26] They've held consistent at 145 public park spaces in the garage.
[48:31] And then the only other thing is, so, with this request, they're not asking for any more funding
[48:34] from TIFF, however, in the background material, it does state that you anticipate there to be
[48:39] another assuming back to us at a later date for a potential 380 agreement that would rebate hot tax.
[48:45] that is correct. We are considering we're in negotiation just now for three new
[48:50] agreement with this hotel. Okay, so I just I just want to I get no no new funds
[48:55] asked this particular pot but there is a contemplated additional ask coming forward
[48:59] at a future meeting but no but on I just want to make sure that we are aware of that
[49:04] but with this particular one I'm okay with the Vimicsense I want to be supportive of this
[49:08] project I think it's great and I think I think the changes they've requested are all
[49:12] Very reasonable.
[49:14] Hey, Ken, I also had a few questions about this.
[49:17] I can't remember, Bernard, I'm also a favorite of this project and I'm a favorite of the changes as well.
[49:22] I mean, I think that we knew that we were going to deal with the aftermath, not even the aftermath.
[49:29] But we were still dealing with COVID.
[49:31] And so that's part of the process that we're doing on the day of the day on Delhi.
[49:36] And so I just had a few questions for you.
[49:39] You answered the question about the public parking that that's not going to eliminate the number of public parking spaces,
[49:44] but how many exactly will we give with this hotel?
[49:48] So the hotel's comprised of the hotel, the hotel's comprised of 332 spaces in total,
[49:53] but the public, how many do you have an idea of how many that would be public?
[49:58] 145 or slaves would be public parking.
[50:01] Okay, so 145.
[50:03] And then you were also talking about, I know in our previous conversations with this
[50:08] before Council we talked a lot about the aesthetics and how the hotel looks from the outside.
[50:13] Earlier in your presentation you mentioned about the art that it still has not been approved yet,
[50:18] so are you saying that that art can be eliminated completely? Or is it just might look different
[50:24] from what we have on the rendering? I would say both, so it's there and works on the design of what the
[50:30] art will look like and it is before Marriott corporate to decide if they would allow for that
[50:35] change to their typical hotel. Now the developer is trying to make this, you know, a unique kind of an Instagram moment for
[50:43] for the art to be on the side of the hotel and they will be available this afternoon session for an update on
[50:50] where we're at with that process. So definitely I can't promise that will be that art will be there or that will be the
[50:56] design but that is in the works. Whatever the decision is or whatever Marriott corporate decides
[51:03] business to have to come before council before anything is done as far as like if it's
[51:07] changing the way the render and looks to us right now.
[51:13] Legal is shaking their head now, so I'm not going to go against their answer.
[51:22] Okay.
[51:23] Thank you.
[51:26] Hey, this is Darious.
[51:28] I just had a quick point of clarification.
[51:30] and if Leo stopped me, if this is asking too much at this point, but tied to these funds that
[51:38] we have agreed to contribute, do we have signed agreements in place for them to hire
[51:46] and employ a certain percentage of local workers and businesses there?
[51:52] That's a great question.
[51:53] And part of that is the negotiation and the three-year agreement.
[51:56] So, we didn't necessarily touch jobs into the TIFF request or the TIFF funding, you know, that's more towards the public improvement side of the project, but we are looking at those specific ideas in the 380 agreement and making some of that requirement.
[52:13] Great. Awesome. Thank you. I look forward to seeing what that states have to be.
[52:19] This is how I'm just just a quick comment.
[52:22] I'm supportive of this project as well.
[52:26] It looks like it's going to be a very special hotel, and then it's got convention
[52:30] space, parking, restaurant bar, pool, very urban field, and it looks like a fantastic project.
[52:39] And most importantly, that it will be complementary to our existing convention center, which
[52:44] is what we're trying to eventually get to, where we have a couple of few options.
[52:49] for conventioners when we, again, this seems like we're kind of talking about this in the
[52:54] COVID times that we're in, but you know, we'll get to the other side of this and these kind
[52:59] of projects are going to perfect the growth of white going people coming back to like this.
[53:05] I'm excited about the project and very sport.
[53:13] Thank you, Kelsman Holmes.
[53:14] We'll go to the next projects. Pivot of our contract extension.
[53:17] I'll look at them 320 to 324,
[53:23] 8th Street.
[53:24] Yeah, I didn't want to guess that.
[53:25] Thank you.
[53:27] At the top of the screen here, you see on the left current picture
[53:31] of the construction, we're almost at completion here.
[53:34] So they're putting the final touches on the project.
[53:37] On the right side, you can see a couple of years back
[53:39] with what the project looked like before the redevelopment.
[53:42] This views from 8th and Jackson Avenue.
[53:44] I was able to include the streets and the photo
[53:47] for future reference at the bottom here.
[53:50] more pictures of the most recent of the layout of the construction.
[53:56] Like I said, they're in the final stage of construction.
[54:00] The Pivot of our restaurant, Brewery, and Hotel Project, all in, including the laments
[54:05] at 9.7 million of the Tiff Grant Award was at $680,293,291, and on December 20, 2018, the Tiff
[54:13] Board recommending that funding of the $683,291 on February 5, 2019,
[54:19] 16 City Council approved the funding and made the original completion date for the project April 30, 2020.
[54:26] Six month extension request was received and granted by the City Manager and extension was granted to the new completion date of October 27 of 2020 just last week.
[54:37] However, on August 20, 2020, we received an additional request for an extension just for four more months, requesting the new completion date of February 28, 2021.
[54:48] So, the TIF Board made the recommendation of the approval of the contract extension for the additional four months, and making the new project completion deadline February 28, 2021.
[55:03] Next project is the web map project.
[55:05] I'm sorry, this is Hector again, just one more question.
[55:08] So, the only change on this when it's there just requesting four more months.
[55:12] That's correct.
[55:13] From the extension they received, which the deadline was October 27, it was last week, but they're just in the final stages, and then just a couple more weeks,
[55:21] or a construction cleanup finish up to get this project done.
[55:25] So four more months is what they're asking.
[55:27] So they feel pretty confident that the project will be completed
[55:30] by the community at the February of 2021.
[55:34] And they'll be on the line also this afternoon
[55:36] for any updates that you guys may want.
[55:39] Wonderful.
[55:40] Thank you so much, sir.
[55:43] This is Holmes.
[55:43] I'll just follow Hector's comments there with, yeah.
[55:46] I think this makes sense.
[55:48] It's kind of a COVID related extension here and it's in the south part of Czechoslovakia that's
[55:54] PEO, which is beer bar.
[55:57] My grandfather was born and raised in Czechoslovakia, so I'm happy to see this enterprise
[56:02] coming to a Waco and I'm sure on the opportunity to say, if you thumb it up, to the
[56:09] smear clinic.
[56:17] Okay, I'll move to the next item.
[56:21] is the web mechanism for Mars drive improvements.
[56:25] We have for your location, kind of dial you in on where the project is located, and you
[56:29] see in the graphic here, outer again, the mouse, outer going over here, and the Coca-Cola on
[56:36] this side, and below that to the south is the midway school complexes, the high school, and
[56:41] the middle school, the main location of this project is that the intersection of old
[56:51] project is proposed, the extensive project, you'll see on Mars drive, it's proposed to be between Texas Central Parkway and Hugh at Drive and on Old Hugh at Row between Imperial Drive to Mars Drive.
[57:06] Staff is proposing a web-make grant at 3.4 million to support the financing of the Row Improvement Project.
[57:11] Of course, 1.7 million of that will be the city's contribution.
[57:14] The estimated project completion date is December 31st, 2023, and as current, a figure we have on hand is the total construction cost is estimated currently in 11.5 million.
[57:27] That concludes the economic development presentations for today.
[57:32] I'll take any questions.
[57:33] Yeah, I'll just send the old few in Mars drive project.
[57:38] I've heard from my book constituents, both personal.
[57:43] You have to deal with the traffic going to in front of my high school every day.
[57:46] Midway, I see themselves as well as all of our corporate citizens out there
[57:50] is to the need for the upgrading to these roads.
[57:53] I'm very thankful for the EDC and the county and all of this coming together
[57:58] to figure out a way to make this happen.
[58:00] And there are significant infrastructure needs in the entire area.
[58:03] This is one that has been just kind of, I'm too the forefront has been very pointed.
[58:08] And so I'm glad I'm thankful to be able to vote on this and to see this get done before
[58:14] I finished my term one council because it's something that's needed that we've known has
[58:17] been there for a long time.
[58:19] The benefits both residents as well as the school district and the businesses that line
[58:25] those corridors, it just kind of helps further support the growth kind of going on in
[58:30] industrial area as providing, providing just some traffic congestion relief and support for everyone
[58:37] trying to get to and from midway high. So I appreciate it. I appreciate staff and our partners
[58:44] and everybody's working and making this happen because it's a really important infrastructure project to
[58:48] get to them. I'm just, this is Holmes. I'll briefly echo John's comments because that again,
[58:54] it's been on council. This particular intersection in these roads, with all the growth going on
[58:59] in the school. It's been a project that's been sort of on the shell from trying to figure out
[59:05] a way to get this funded. And the fact that a lot of different groups came together to make this
[59:11] happen really for the school there and for that neighborhood I think is it feels good to finally
[59:18] get this figure out where you get this funded. I'm sure it'll create a safer environment in that
[59:26] And I'll just follow up one more real quick thing.
[59:29] Can't you said the estimated cost of the project is 12 million?
[59:33] Well, that point five is the estimate.
[59:36] But I think I think for years ago it was, you're saying, eight to nine.
[59:40] So getting, whenever you're able to get things done as timely as possible,
[59:44] usually you end up saving some money and doing so.
[59:47] But again, it's, I'm glad we're getting it done.
[59:50] It's great to see it done.
[59:52] But it's, you know, just any road project we,
[59:54] I've heard of whenever it starts, you can usually just add 25% to it and that's probably going to be what the cost is by the time we get around to it.
[1:00:00] So, but it's great. I appreciate you guys.
[1:00:04] I may hear you're in council for the record. Council member, Mayor Deaver, Council member's canard,
[1:00:08] viewing and homes at that, that the day the substantial interest on this work session item.
[1:00:12] Not the whole work session item, just the tip item.
[1:00:14] The tip item.
[1:00:19] Okay. Any further questions or comments on that item? All right, are there any requests for future
[1:00:34] I'm just going to allow all those grenades and we'll see what happens, but watch
[1:00:40] them watch everybody talk about it after I'm gone.
[1:00:43] There we go.
[1:00:44] All right.
[1:00:45] So we will now reset this work session.
[1:00:46] We can be in regular session for example session.
[1:00:49] We're going to the record by the city secretary at 409 p.m.
[1:00:52] Notice it's here by given that the city council will go into executive session and
[1:00:55] For instance, with the bowling provisions, one real property checks over the meetings
[1:00:59] at Section 551.072, and two economic development checks over the meetings at Section 551.087.
[1:01:07] We are now an executive session at 409 pm.
[1:02:08] Zubu looked a little different this year, but Zubu staff made it possible for families and
[1:02:14] friends to still enjoy the Cameron Park Zoo on Halloween.
[1:02:18] Young ghosts and goblins came dressed in their Halloween costumes, so this is the animals
[1:02:22] at the zoo and had the chance to participate in the interactive spook-tacular scavenger hunt.
[1:02:28] The scavenger hunt took place on each family's personal cell phone using the goose chase app,
[1:02:33] where they inputted a code in password to access the scavenger hunt at the zoo.
[1:02:39] Cameron Park Zoo wanted to make this Halloween a specialist possible in spite of the COVID restrictions,
[1:02:44] so the scavenger hunt was a great way to see all the kids dressed up and having a fun,
[1:02:48] safe time at the Cameron Park Zoo.
[1:02:53] Watch the full city beat news report weekdays at 6.30am, 12.30pm, 6.30pm, and at 10.30pm,
[1:03:01] you're on your Waco city cable channel.
[1:03:27] Hi, my name is Joe Myers, and I work at the Convention Center as a chef, and today we're
[1:03:31] going to make shrimp and grits a nice southern style of comfort food.
[1:03:36] Hope you enjoyed.
[1:03:37] So here we have red bell peppers, little bit of Cajun seasoning, some minced fresh garlic,
[1:03:43] Some unsalted sweet cream butter, heavy cream, a little bit of scallions, green onions,
[1:03:50] some cooked bacon, a four-strip, grits, and a four-cheese blend, which has a little bit
[1:03:56] of smoked guida, a little bit of cheddar, Swiss, and Parmesan cheese to give you a little
[1:04:02] bit of bite.
[1:04:03] So, we're going to go and take the ingredients and head over to the stove.
[1:04:10] So first thing we're going to do, we have a chicken stock as well, the chicken stock is going
[1:04:15] be the main poaching ingredient whenever we're cooking our grits so we're using that instead
[1:04:19] of water.
[1:04:20] So we're going to mix that together, we're going to come to a boil, we're going to go ahead
[1:04:23] and add our grits to it like you would normally, and at the same time we also have bacon
[1:04:27] grease as well as bacon, so we're going to take our bacon grease and cook our shrimp in a
[1:04:31] low heat so it's not to overcook.
[1:04:34] You want to make sure you cook it at low heat because the shrimp is going to continue to
[1:04:38] it while it's in the grits.
[1:04:49] Okay, as you can see, the chicken stock is coming to a simmer
[1:04:52] right now. So before we add the grits to cook it, what we're going to do is we're going
[1:04:56] to poach our red bell peppers in the stock, as well as add our cagin seasoning to it to help
[1:05:05] infuse the flavor a little bit better. We're going to add our garlic.
[1:05:10] We're going to add
[1:05:11] our butter so we can melt it and then a little bit of cream. So we're going to let that
[1:05:18] until it comes to a low boil, and then we're going to add our grits to it.
[1:05:35] Okay, as you can see,
[1:05:38] the stock has come to quite a bit of boil, you don't want to let it over cook. So, first
[1:05:43] we're going to do is add the grits into it. You want to add that and bring it back to a boil.
[1:05:49] Mix it, reduce it to a simmer, and pretty much from this point, you're going to let it cook until it thickens up, as you
[1:06:04] And then once that's done, then we're going to add our cheese into it and blend that together.
[1:06:10] And as you can see here, as you can see here, our shrimp is about done.
[1:06:15] So you don't want to cook it all the way.
[1:06:16] It's still going to cook while it's in the grits.
[1:06:19] So you want to cut it off a little bit earlier.
[1:06:22] Making sure that it's slightly sauteed, set that to the side.
[1:06:26] And then we're just going to wait for our grits to cook.
[1:06:28] Alright, as you can see here, the grits have absorbed most of the moisture.
[1:06:32] So we're going to go ahead and turn it off, let them absorb the rest, and at this point we're
[1:06:39] going to add our cheese, our four cheese blend, in there to help kind of round the dish
[1:06:43] off, give a little bit of bite to it, and also help thicken it up in the process while it's
[1:06:48] cooling.
[1:06:49] While we do that, we're going to go ahead and add the bacon as well.
[1:06:52] So we have our bacon bits, and then as I stated before, the shrimp is going to be sauteed
[1:06:58] and bacon grease to give your real nice southern flavor to it. So we're going to let that
[1:07:04] sit kind of thicken up for a couple of minutes and that's almost it. Okay so our grits
[1:07:09] mixture has that time to rest so it's thickened up quite a bit especially with the cheese and
[1:07:14] the grits itself so we're going to go ahead and add our separately cooked shrimp pieces with bacon
[1:07:19] grease into it. So we're going to fuse it with a little bit of shrimp and bacon and then take that
[1:07:24] We're going to mix it together and make sure and incorporate all that grease into there.
[1:07:31] And so from here, that's basically your dish.
[1:07:33] So we're going to do now.
[1:07:34] We're going to take it.
[1:07:35] We're going to pour just one portion size into the bowl.
[1:07:39] We're going to level it off.
[1:07:41] Make it look nice.
[1:07:43] And then we're going to take our green onions or scallions.
[1:07:45] And then we're going to use that as our garnish.
[1:07:48] And then take that, put a little bit on top.
[1:07:52] And voila, you have your shrimp and grits.
[1:08:07] We're going to look at these pieces.

[1:14:36] Yeah, you got it.
[1:14:38] Give the caption.
[1:14:54] Good evening Mayor and Council.
[1:14:56] This evening we are reading an ordinance of the city of Waco, Texas.
[1:15:00] Commending Chapter 26 utilities of the Code of Ordnances of the Sea of Waco, Texas by adding a new article 10 entitled, municipal drainage utility system, providing for definitions, making required findings, establishing a municipal drainage utility system, adopting sub-chapter C of Chapter 552 of the Texas Local Government Code, declaring the drainage of the city to be a public utility, establishing the service area, establishing a drainage utility system.
[1:15:30] providing for categories of drainage utility rates, providing for billing of drainage utility

[1:16:15] code, providing for penalties, and finding and determining that the meeting at which this
[1:16:21] ordinances past is open to the public as required by law. This is the second reading.
[1:16:28] Okay, thank you. I believe that was any right. Yes, sir.
[1:16:32] Okay. There's no that we have a comment submitted on this item.
[1:16:36] Actually, we did Michael metallic, but he requested it call it a clarification that he'd like his comments to be read for the public hearing 769.
[1:16:46] Okay, thank you for the war and no other comments on this item.
[1:16:49] Yes, sir, there's not.
[1:16:54] I'll move approval in a second.
[1:16:58] Second.
[1:16:59] I need a discussion.
[1:17:01] Please vote down.
[1:17:02] Wait, hold on.
[1:17:03] I think Jim, hold on.
[1:17:04] I think Holmes is trying to say something but he's muted.
[1:17:06] All right, about that, Jim, we can't hear you.
[1:17:09] Sorry.
[1:17:10] I was thinking, I'll make my complaints in the second one, but I get to say that.
[1:17:17] Well, let me just go and make them down.
[1:17:18] I mean, this is kind of a bow.
[1:17:19] The support of this, of the stormwater utility fee in general, and just some of the clarification that
[1:17:29] I was asked to work up a week ago.
[1:17:31] I think came through kind of very loud and clear on, and really, I want to read page 42 again,
[1:17:38] because this kind of addresses most of my, what my initial concerns were, in the context of
[1:17:44] fine-tuning the fees as we go and what the latitude there are and taking care of outliers
[1:17:54] and sensitive issues and making this potentially not harmful to small businesses.
[1:18:00] I don't want to do that.
[1:18:02] But this work says, you know, again, on page 42, I invite everybody to look at staff recommends
[1:18:06] to dump some of these fees to allow for work development testing and the building system,
[1:18:11] the development of a calculator.
[1:18:12] So things are very important, the element of the budget for utility, including projected revenues and expenditures, as well as reductions in general funding expenses.
[1:18:21] That can be as an important.
[1:18:23] The City Council, at the opportunity to review the budget and fees for the stormwater utility system,
[1:18:28] when considering the 2022 budget and fee schedule.
[1:18:31] Again, that's out there in over a year.
[1:18:35] Finally, prior to the presentation of fiscal year 2021, 2020,
[1:18:38] of this key schedule. Staff will propose to the Council, the list of credits available to
[1:18:43] non-residents, just normal customers. I think up and down the line, staff, you're going
[1:18:48] to get a good job in addressing some of the concerns we expressed a couple of weeks ago, and
[1:18:52] I'm going to be voting in favor of this.
[1:18:55] Council Member Canoar, can I get a clear application real quickly on your motion?
[1:19:01] Was your vote?
[1:19:04] We're moving to approval of the ordinance on second reading, right?
[1:19:06] Yes, sir, but I wanted to make, see if you were including the changes that we refer to in the work session.
[1:19:14] I'm over-provable on second reading, including the changes that we discussed in the work session.
[1:19:18] Thank you, sir.
[1:19:19] Okay.
[1:19:20] Let's check in again on that.
[1:19:24] In all way.
[1:19:25] In all way.
[1:19:26] One more time.
[1:19:27] Yeah.
[1:19:28] Yeah.
[1:19:29] Really.
[1:19:29] There's another kind of a bells and suspenders on review.
[1:19:33] And give it us time to kind of look at how this looks in a budget.
[1:19:36] Again, I appreciate staff and council's work on this.
[1:19:43] All right.
[1:19:43] Thank you.
[1:19:44] Any further steps?
[1:19:46] Thank you.
[1:19:47] Holmes.
[1:19:48] Hi.
[1:19:52] Yes.
[1:19:53] Yes.
[1:19:54] You know?
[1:19:56] Yes.
[1:19:56] Mark Bill?
[1:19:59] Sir?
[1:20:00] Yes.
[1:20:01] Evolution carries.
[1:20:02] We'll now move to public hearings.
[1:20:04] We have three public hearings tonight.
[1:20:05] First 2020, that's seven, six, nine.
[1:20:08] Good evening, again, Mayor and Council.
[1:20:11] This is a public hearing to consider a resolution adopting a schedule of drainage charges for
[1:20:16] the municipal drainage utility system in the city of Wago, providing that the effective
[1:20:20] date to begin charging the fees as shown in the schedule of drainage charges for the
[1:20:24] municipal drainage utility system, and issuance of bills for said fees will be October 1, 2021.
[1:20:31] I'm providing that the fiscal year 2020-2021 operating budget fee schedule for the drainage
[1:20:38] utility fund is here by amended to include the schedule of charges for the municipal drainage
[1:20:43] utility system.
[1:20:46] I just want to remind Council that we've talked about a change to that resolution as well.
[1:20:50] So if it counts as ours, that should be part of the revised motion.
[1:20:54] Thank you.
[1:20:56] All right.
[1:20:56] We will.
[1:20:57] Are there any questions?
[1:21:00] Staff.
[1:21:00] Well, but a public hearing department says no, we had some work to think of on the phone.
[1:21:05] Yes, I do. And that the first speaker is Michael McCallack. He says, I urge you to reconsider items of the proposed utility fee.
[1:21:12] I am against the utility fee, especially against the locations in Central Waco to be exempted.
[1:21:17] All current homes should be exempted. It is unfair to exempt homeowners in the Central Loop and charge those about to live on the other edge with the city of limits of Waco, such as the West Waco neighborhoods.
[1:21:27] My home was built in 1984. There is no more current impact to the drainage basin than at that time it was constructed.
[1:21:34] I think other homeowners would agree this is the same for theirs.
[1:21:37] Although I am opposed to the fee entirely, if you do see fit to pass this, it should be charged equally to all residents and businesses
[1:21:44] or preferably only to new construction going forward.
[1:21:49] The next comment was from Gene Gradishar, or comment is,
[1:21:56] comment on city council proposed stormwater fee.
[1:21:59] You're taxing homeowners twice.
[1:22:00] Yes, tax new construction developers for these improvements.
[1:22:04] The current homeowners pay for the upkeep with their property taxes.
[1:22:07] As much as property taxes have increased in the last five years, there should be plenty of money
[1:22:11] to cover repairs in addition to current infrastructure.
[1:22:13] If you would cut back on the tax breaks that you are giving to those developers there,
[1:22:19] should be plenty of money to cover those updates in repairs.
[1:22:22] Quit making residential property owners cover the cost of things so we are already paying taxes to maintain.
[1:22:28] Media and councilors are all comments on this item.
[1:22:32] Okay.
[1:22:33] We will close the public hearing.
[1:22:35] Is there a motion?
[1:22:37] I will move approval of this, including the changes discussed in the workshop.
[1:22:46] Thank you very much.
[1:22:48] Second.
[1:22:49] Motion.
[1:22:50] Second.
[1:22:52] Please.
[1:22:53] Well, the only thing I just want to, I mean,
[1:22:55] want to be clear clear on this when the first public comment on this particular item.
[1:23:00] It's, it's, there is no bifurcation of charges.
[1:23:02] I mean, it is being charged to the city as a whole both interior and exterior.
[1:23:06] I think the, the speaker on that one had a confused with the impact fees,
[1:23:09] but just wanted to be clear that on this one it is a universal charge as utility.
[1:23:13] fee that is charged to all residents and businesses within the community.
[1:23:18] I appreciate your time.
[1:23:21] Any further discussion?
[1:23:23] Please follow council.
[1:23:26] Hi.
[1:23:28] Yes.
[1:23:29] Yes.
[1:23:32] Yes.
[1:23:34] Yes.
[1:23:36] Yes.
[1:23:37] That motion carries.
[1:23:39] And thank you, Amy.
[1:23:40] and then I just need to work off the project as well.
[1:23:43] Really good work, it's been done on this.
[1:23:46] We'll move the pedal during 2020-777.
[1:23:58] Honorable Mayor, Council, this is a public hearing on an ordinance
[1:24:01] of meeting the project of financing plan
[1:24:03] for reinvestment zone number one for tax increment financing

[1:24:53] providing a savings clause, providing a severability clause, and finding and determining
[1:24:58] that the meeting at which this ordinance is passed is open to the public as required by law.
[1:25:04] This ordinance comes to you on first reading.
[1:25:06] I locked over 8, 2020, the TIF board loaded 5-0 to recommend a mending agreement with SRA
[1:25:11] hospitality we go down town and investments LLC were in its 2019 738 the public
[1:25:17] improvements associated with the construction of a Marriott ACO tail at 301

[1:26:16] 2021. As required by law, I noticed of this public hearing was published in the Waco Tribune
[1:26:21] Herald on October 23, 2020.
[1:26:27] All right, thank you, Dan. Any questions from your staff? We're open to public hearing for comments
[1:26:32] as noted that we have anybody registered for this file.
[1:26:35] I know, sir, we don't. And just as a reminder, the mayor, Councilmember Kenar,
[1:26:39] viewing and homes about affidabes of substantial interest on this item.
[1:26:43] Thank you. We'll close the public hearing as their motion.
[1:26:47] Make a motion for approval on first reading.
[1:26:50] Second. Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me.
[1:26:56] Holmes. Hi. Hearing. Yes.
[1:27:00] In our. Yes. Rita. Yes.
[1:27:04] Our field. Yes. Eva.
[1:27:08] Yes. That motion carries public hearing.
[1:27:10] 2020 that 771.
[1:27:21] Good evening, Mayor and Council. This is a public hearing help, pursuant
[1:27:24] to 24 CFR-570.611, conflict of interest, to disclose that a city of Waco employee has
[1:27:32] applied for federal loans administered by the city, and to receive public comments and
[1:27:37] connection therewith. So, ladies, residues, city of Waco employee, has applied for a rehabilitation
[1:27:43] Foundation loan funded by community development block grant from the Department of Housing
[1:27:47] and Urban Development and a letter, letter, statement loan, funded through the Office of
[1:27:52] Lead has a control and healthy homes.
[1:27:54] Staff recommends approval of a loan amount of up to $22,122,906 for rehabilitation and $19,668
[1:28:04] since for a letter, statement for the single family home.
[1:28:08] Ms. Rosindez is employed by the City of Waco at the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame in Museum.
[1:28:12] Ms. Rizindez does not work in a decision making capacity related to applicants for these programs.
[1:28:19] Ms. Rizindez income does not exceed 80% of the medium income of the city of Waco.
[1:28:25] McClendon County by family status.
[1:28:29] The home that will be her rehabilitated is located at 1601, North 21st Street, Waco Texas 7608.
[1:28:37] These loans are treated the same as other loans of similar nature and are forgiven at a rate of 1-10th per year for rehabilitation and 1-5th per year for letter payment.
[1:28:49] Okay, thank you, Renisha. Any questions, staff?
[1:28:54] We will open a public hearing performance as Melvin, anyone registered on this?
[1:28:59] Yes, they did not.
[1:29:00] They will close the public hearing and there is no action required on this slide.
[1:29:06] We have received a comment or agenda item, as well as 2020, 2020, that's 780 through.
[1:29:12] So we will remove that, and then note on it separately.
[1:29:15] As Melvin, please read the comments on on 780.
[1:29:18] Yes sir. This comment is submitted by Theresa Porter. You mentioned Peter Bilt, but you
[1:29:26] didn't mention Motiv, Lion, Mac, Volvo, Bid, YD, or freight liner. These are very
[1:29:32] grants available from the TCQ and the EPA to offset the cost of purchasing low maintenance
[1:29:37] zero emission medium and heavy duty battery electric vehicles and charging infrastructure.
[1:29:44] Speaking of infrastructure, if you hurry there's still time to qualify for the alternative
[1:29:47] fuel infrastructure tax credit before it expires on December 31st.
[1:29:51] In spite of the higher initial purchase price, you will save hundreds of thousands of
[1:29:54] dollars and maintenance costs over the life of the vehicle.
[1:29:57] The average cost of an oil change for a diesel engine is...
[1:30:00] $200 to $300, depending on the quality of oil and filters use. Every 30 to 60 days, depending on the
[1:30:06] hours the engine is in operation, plus the cost of used oil disposal. Electric vehicles don't have crank cases.
[1:30:12] EVs have regenerative braking, which not only extends vehicle range a little, but also saves a lot of wear on the
[1:30:18] braking system, which saves you money on maintenance. Other maintenance costs associated with diesel engines include
[1:30:23] Head gaskets, valve jobs, fuel filters, and exhaust systems.
[1:30:27] Electric vehicles don't have these.
[1:30:28] The maintenance list is so small, you can write it on a posted note.
[1:30:32] You will also say the cost for approximately 6,000 gallons of fuel per truck per year.
[1:30:36] These types of trucks weigh 57,000, 66,000 pounds, for the full tank of gas, depending on the body configuration.
[1:30:43] Electric truck weighs about the same.
[1:30:45] For example, the line 8 refused truck weighs 60,000 pounds.
[1:30:49] The weight of the truck does not decrease as the fuel is consumed.
[1:30:51] So Ly and A can serve as approximately 1,000 cans before needing to be returned.
[1:30:56] I'm sure your workers take lunch breaks.
[1:30:58] They can simply plug in to the CCS fast charger on their lunch break.
[1:31:01] Of course, with existing infrastructure, they'd have to go to Bell Me just like the rest of us.
[1:31:06] Eight years ago, the Texas Triangle EPEV.
[1:31:08] E.P.E.V. readiness planning for its cities to prepare for the transition to battery electric vehicles.
[1:31:13] The future has arrived and you are still not ready.
[1:31:16] Infrastructure is not that expensive and it's a good investment.
[1:31:18] For the same amount of money you're spending on winter holiday decorations, you could be purchased and installed at least a public-level two charging stations in one CCS or CHA dimmo
[1:31:29] the last charging station.
[1:31:30] Holiday decorations don't generate income charging stations due.
[1:31:34] And that's now so that you're ready for 2022, 2023 when dozens of B.E.Vs are scheduled to arrive.
[1:31:40] I've included two attachments and two links for your enjoyment.
[1:31:42] I hope that you take the time to watch the video mentioned in the BYD links so you can see
[1:31:47] with your eyes and ears to hear with your own ears.
[1:31:51] And council members, I forward that communication to you earlier as well as the attachments.
[1:31:58] Okay, thank you as well.
[1:32:00] Is there a motion on a resolution from 2022?
[1:32:05] I'll move approval.
[1:32:06] Take care.
[1:32:07] Any discussion?
[1:32:09] Please follow Councillor.
[1:32:14] Yes.
[1:32:15] More.
[1:32:16] Yes.
[1:32:20] Yes. Yes.
[1:32:23] Yes. That motion carries the consent agenda tonight consists of resolutions
[1:32:27] 2022 through 2022 to 791 with the exception of 2022. Is there a motion on the consent
[1:32:36] the question.
[1:32:37] Lou, the approval of the decision.
[1:32:39] Second.
[1:32:40] Any discussion?
[1:32:42] Please vote for the council.
[1:32:45] Aye.
[1:32:46] Aye.
[1:32:47] You're in?
[1:32:48] Yes.
[1:32:48] No.
[1:32:50] Yes.
[1:32:50] Tabito.
[1:32:52] Yes.
[1:32:52] Right, Bill.
[1:32:54] Yes.
[1:32:55] Yes.
[1:32:56] Yes.
[1:32:57] That motion carries.
[1:32:58] We have three ordinance this tonight.
[1:33:00] The first that's ordinance 2020-792 on first reading.
[1:33:03] In order to amend Section 2-51 in Division 4 Sustainable Resource Practices Advisory Board in Article 2 Board's Commission's Committees,
[1:33:12] in Chapter 2 of the Administration of the Code of Audices of the City of Waco Texas,
[1:33:15] the number one revised the mission purposes and membership of the Sustainable Resource Practices Advisory Board Board,
[1:33:21] and to add requirement that the Board conducted business in the course of the City Council's policies governing city of Waco boards and commissions.
[1:33:28] They're filling all, or this is a part of ordinances and
[1:33:31] conflict are with providing the several ability clause, providing for inclusion
[1:33:35] the code.
[1:33:36] If not any term in the meeting, which is ordinances past, open the public's
[1:33:38] required law, this ordinance comes to counsel over a three day.
[1:33:44] Thank you, gentlemen.
[1:33:45] We have several comment cards on this, as well, which is very
[1:33:49] very important.
[1:33:50] Yes, so if the first comment is from Skip Londos, I'd like to see that the
[1:33:55] SRPAB became far more serious about climate change than it has been.
[1:33:58] I recommend local sustainable practice expert, Dr.
[1:34:01] and Markets being considered for a spot on the advisory board.
[1:34:05] The next comment is from Matt Helton, the state of goal of the SRPAB is to promote sustainability
[1:34:11] which is vague and has no specific target.
[1:34:13] The board must work to help the city reach the net zero CO2 emission by 2050 as the IPCC requires
[1:34:19] in fact the revisions does not even mention the term climate change or greenhouse gas emissions.
[1:34:24] The city does not recognize a problem it will never be able to solve it.
[1:34:27] Next, rather than join the Clean Cities Coalition, as we call for the city to join the
[1:34:32] Sierra Club ready for 100,000, 400% renewable energy and all sectors of 2050, finally the
[1:34:38] revision calls for a board member who is a representative from a civic environmental organization.
[1:34:44] This should clearly be a member of the wake of friends of the climate, which is the only such
[1:34:47] organization in wake of working on this specific issue. Organization has let the city on a decarbonization
[1:34:52] and should have a seat at the board. I recommend that Mr. Allen Northcutt be considered for this position.
[1:34:59] Next comment is from America.
[1:35:02] This comments are on the background section.
[1:35:04] Please recall that this S-R-B-A-B began some consideration of decarbonization, following
[1:35:08] the presentation by Waco friends of the climate on impacts of anthropogenic climate change
[1:35:14] at a council session early in 2018.
[1:35:16] At the same time, we presented a petition signed by over 1,000 Waco air residents calling
[1:35:20] for the city to go 100% renewable and all sectors by 2050.
[1:35:23] The state of revision mission of the SRPAD in the agenda packet is to promote sustainability
[1:35:28] in the area of energy uses, material and waste management, air quality as well as water
[1:35:33] quality and conservation.
[1:35:35] In 2020, the term sustainability is vague and sets no goals, in fact, what does it really
[1:35:40] mean?
[1:35:40] We call in the Council to follow the science just as it did with the pandemic.
[1:35:44] As we have repeatedly emphasized, we are in the climate crisis and the goals standard
[1:35:47] science for the IPCC states we must cut GHG emissions globally by 45% by 2030 and be
[1:35:54] at the net zero emissions by 2050.
[1:35:56] In addition to our petition, the U.S. Conference of Mayors calls for its members, including
[1:35:59] wake out of 100% renewable.
[1:36:02] But instead, the revision does not mention crime and change global warming or GHG emissions.
[1:36:06] If the city cannot speak, it's specifically of the crisis, how can it expect to help
[1:36:10] over it?
[1:36:11] By ignoring the crisis will not prevent wakeless future if climate change is not mitigated.
[1:36:15] Nosevere heatways, worsening drought, crop failures, more flooding, biodiversity laws,
[1:36:20] and acceptance of climate refugees. Next, the proposed clean,
[1:36:24] city's coalition is out of date and again fails to speak to the climate crisis and the
[1:36:27] targets of the climate science requires us to set. Further, the coalition still promotes natural
[1:36:32] gas, which is in dirty, fossil fuel, you must leave in the past. We recommend instead of
[1:36:36] the city to ensure a club ready for 100 of a over 160 cities plus school districts and other
[1:36:45] for over one year, obviously, in dealing with the climate emergency, the board must meet monthly,
[1:36:50] even the youth city council meets every month.
[1:36:53] On board membership, the revision calls for one representative from a civic environment organization.
[1:36:57] We call on the council to a point of the wake of friends of the climate for the position.
[1:37:01] As it is the only vehicle organization specifically dedicated to action on climate crisis.
[1:37:05] And any of the regions is not state, if the gorilla in the room is the climate crisis,
[1:37:10] and although there are some knowledgeable people in the other board seats mentioned,
[1:37:13] No one has extensive experience on what the city must do to decarbonize found in this organization.
[1:37:20] And I would be honored to thus contribute to the board.
[1:37:23] See my list of definite steps the city must take to decarbonize in the attached file,
[1:37:27] and may I cancel and pull it up to the previously.
[1:37:30] Really good today.
[1:37:31] Next comment is from David Architolf.
[1:37:34] The goal of the SRPAB is to promote sustainability,
[1:37:37] which should be that the board must work to help the city reach net zero CO2 emissions by 2050
[1:37:42] as the IPCC requires. To help achieve this goal, I suggest the city to join the Sierra
[1:37:47] Club Ready for 100, the cost for 100% renewable energy and all sectors by 2050. The revision
[1:37:53] also calls for a board member who is a representative from civic environmental organizations.
[1:37:58] I would like to nominate Alan Northcat to be on the advisory board. Our future is at stake with the
[1:38:02] health of our citizens and for economic liability of the city.
[1:38:09] Next comment is from Jack Bowers.
[1:38:11] The state of goal of the SRPAB is to promote sustainability which is vague and has no specific target.
[1:38:17] The board must work to help the city reach net 0CO2 emissions by 2050 as the IPCC requires.
[1:38:24] In fact, the revision does not even mention the terms climate change, greenhouse gas emissions.
[1:38:27] If the city does not recognize a problem, it will never be able to solve it.
[1:38:31] Next, rather than join the Clean Cities Coalition, we call for the city to join the Sierra Club Ready for 100.
[1:38:36] calling for a hundred percent renewable energy in all sectors by 2050.
[1:38:41] Finally, the originally calls for Board Member, who is a representative from the civic
[1:38:44] environmental organization. This should clearly be a member of the wake of friends of the
[1:38:48] climate, which is the only such organization in wake of working on this specific issue.
[1:38:52] Our organization has led the city on the carbonization and should have a seat on this
[1:38:56] board. Next speaker, or comment is from Harrison Ward. The SRPAB can now
[1:39:02] with sustainability without a strong focus on dealing with climate change on a local level,
[1:39:08] specifically by helping the city reach a goal of net zero CO2 emissions by 2050.
[1:39:12] A board member should be added who was represented from civic environment's organization.
[1:39:17] I believe the person should be Alan Northkid, who not only has a requisite knowledge of the issue,
[1:39:22] but also possesses a dedication and the energy to be effective on the board.
[1:39:29] Last comment is from William Mata,
[1:39:31] If the S-R-P-A-B's goal is to promote sustainability
[1:39:34] the revised ordinance wording must include the term climate change and or greenhouse gas emissions.
[1:39:40] I also asked the city of Waikajan's year-codes ready for 100 movement,
[1:39:43] a national campaign that calls for 100% renewable energy by 2050.
[1:39:48] Finally, a nominate as a board member, someone who represents
[1:39:50] the only local organization, the Waikajans of the climate,
[1:39:54] visibly and effectively working on sustainability for a local government and community,
[1:39:59] Allen Northcott. Mayor and Council, those are all the comments I received.
[1:40:04] It got no. Is there a motion on the side? Motion for approval for
[1:40:08] screening.
[1:40:12] Second. Any discussion?
[1:40:16] All right. Who told you else?
[1:40:22] Yes.
[1:40:29] Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
[1:40:32] Motion carries will turn to oldest point twenty to seventy ninety three ohms.
[1:40:36] Secondary. I don't have to the city of Waco, Texas and many nuclear ordinances of the city of Waco, Texas.
[1:40:41] I'm adding a pindic sea entitled impact fee.
[1:40:44] Providing for definition, establishing a roadway impact fees within the city limits.
[1:40:48] and water and wastewater impact fees in the city and is actually territorial jurisdiction service area.
[1:40:53] Providing for assessment of senate impact fees, providing for the general administration of senate impact fees.
[1:40:58] Providing to the accounting of the collected fees, providing for waver the impact fees, providing for a fee refund, providing for a appeal procedure, establishing effective date of June 1, 2021.
[1:41:09] Repeating all orders as a part of ordnance is accomplished with providing for penalties providing a several
[1:41:14] ability clause and finding a turning the meeting which is ordnance is passed open
[1:41:17] the public is required a law. This ordnance is approved by a five-one council vote on 1st
[1:41:22] year or not, October 20th, 2020.
[1:41:26] That's your fair motion.
[1:41:30] I'll move the approval on 2nd
[1:41:31] reading.
[1:41:33] Thank you. The motion in a second or a discussion?
[1:41:37] Yeah, just let me jump in here and there's what we're doing on the supporter of the
[1:41:41] and as a red source, a revenue source.
[1:41:47] And I really appreciate staff's work
[1:41:48] and the consultants work on getting this as far in the process.
[1:41:52] And I think the proposed structure
[1:41:53] has a lot of thoughtful aspects
[1:41:57] as far as phasings and exemptions,
[1:42:01] and the like two weeks ago
[1:42:03] that our last council meeting asked for a couple of things.
[1:42:07] One of them was the clarifying the role
[1:42:10] of the Capital Improvement Advisory Committee and getting a better understanding of how future
[1:42:13] councils can tweak the fees within the terms of the ordinance and I want to express my
[1:42:18] appreciation to Clint and legal staff and Paul for providing that very clearly that we
[1:42:28] do have some latitude as make a little more developed and just changing another kind of
[1:42:40] The other concern I had was, you know, just having this fee structure and not having a better idea of what this fee structure would have generated in 2019 and 2020.
[1:42:50] And I've said this many times and I don't want to belabor the vote you're denied with it.
[1:42:55] That's one thing that kind of sticks on my legs. I still don't have an idea of scale.
[1:43:00] What this fee structure, what we can expect out of it.
