>> THIS IS A PROCLAMATION RECOGNIZING JUNETEENTH, WHEREAS AS A NATION WAS CONCEIVED ON JULY 4, 1776 WITH THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE THE CLASSIC STATEMENT BEING WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT THAT ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, THEY ARE ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR.
JANUARY 1, 1863 USING HIS WAR POWERS AS PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN SIGNED THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION PROVIDING ALL PERSONS HELD AS SLAVES WITHIN ANY STATE OR DESIGNATED PART OF THE STATE SHALL BE THEN AND THEN FORWARD FOREVER FREE THE EMANCIPATION MADE THE PERMANENT SLAVERY A UNION WARGAME AND PROVIDED LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR THE NANCY PATIENT OF 4 MILLION SLAVES AS UNION ARMIES ADVANCED.

IF YOU REALLY LOOK AT IT AND YOU TAKE ALL EMOTION ASIDE YOU WILL FIND IN ALL REALITY THE UNITED STATES WAS FOUNDED AS A SLAVE COUNTRY WITHIN THE CONSTITUTION IT GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FORMATION HAD TEXAS BECAME A STATE, HOW AUSTIN, STEPHEN AUSTIN LEFT INTO MEXICO FOR THE INTENT PURPOSE OF MAINTAINING SLAVES AND I LEARNED RECENTLY THE PANHANDLE IN OKLAHOMA IS THERE. ANYBODY WONDER WHY THAT'S THERE, IS NOT JUST A SQUARE IT WAS TO HELP MISSOURI COMPROMISE TO HELP TEXAS STAY AS A SLAVE STATE AS A BROTHER STATESMAN.
ALL THE LITTLE THINGS AND PEOPLE SAY THIS NEVER HAPPENED OR THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED.

WE'VE ACTUALLY BEEN WORKING WITH ASHES DEPARTMENT FOR QUITE A WHILE ON THIS TRAIT AS YOU REMEMBER WE HAD EXCITING INFORMATION WE BROUGHT TO YOU SEVERAL MONTHS AGO WHERE WE WILL ABLE TO GET THE CITY OF HUTTO ON ISO ONE. A KEY PART IS THE FIRE CODE.
WHAT WE ARE REQUIRED WHETHER THE ESD OR THE CITY WE HAVE TO ROUTINELY UPDATE THE FIRE CODES. BY US IN ON THE SAME FIRE CODE FOLLOWING THE SAME AMENDMENT IT MAKES IT EASIER WHEN WE DO PLANS AND WHEN OUR INSPECTORS GO OUT. AN EXAMPLE I WOULD LIKE TO USE IS THE BUILDING ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET ON THE CITY IN A BUILDING ON THE OTHER SIDE THAT IS ACTUALLY OUTSIDE OF THE CITY AND YOU HAVE PEOPLE SAYING WHY DO I HAVE TO DO SOME THIS OTHER PERSON DOESN'T HAVE TO DO WITH AND YOU ARE USING TWO DIFFERENT CODES TO DO THAT ENFORCEMENT. I WOULD SAY OUR FIRE MARSHAL OFFICE DOES A GREAT JOB. WE ARE OUT TAKING CARE OF HER CITIZENS AND HUTTO WHETHER IN GREATER HUTTO OR THE HUTTO COMMUNITY. I ALWAYS LIKE TO TELL HER FOLKS IS THESE PEOPLE THAT SAVE MORE LIVES IN THE CITY THAN ANY OF THE PEOPLE RIDING ON THE BIG RED TRUCK.
THEY GET TO THOSE ISSUES BEFORE THEY COME UP.
ONE OF THE THINGS ASHLEY RADA WAS A PET CARE FACILITY.
EVERYONE WILL REMEMBER THE DISASTER THAT HAPPENED IN GEORGETOWN LAST YEAR. WE WERE QUICK TO JUMP ON THAT WHEN I DIRECTED THE FIRE MARSHAL TO GET WOOD GEORGETOWN FIRE.
LET'S BRING THAT IN AND SEE WHAT THEY DID SO WE DON'T HAVE THE SAME THING GOING ON AND HUTTO. WE WERE QUICK TO GET BACK.
ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD? QUESTIONS WE ARE HAVING.
>> THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT SECTION 3 0 EIGHT.ONE.FOUR AND IS IS A PROVISION DOES NOT APPLY TO ONE OR TWO FAMILY BUILDING THAT'S REFINED TO ONE.FOUR SAYING IT DOES NOT APPLY TO SECTION 3 112.TWO.
I WAS CURIOUS. >> YOU KNOW YOU WERE GETTING
QUIZZED ON THE SECTION. >> USES CHARCOAL BURNERS AND
[00:45:08]
GROWTH AND OTHER FLAME COOKING DEVICES SHALL NOT BE ON COMBUSTIBLE BALCONIES WERE 10 FEET OF COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION SHOULD NOT BE STORED ON COMBUSTIBLE BALCONIES THIS IS NOT APPLY TO ONE INTO FAMILY DWELLING I WANT TO COVER MASS NOT HOMES OR DUPLEXES ESSENTIALLY.>> YOU ARE CORRECT. IT APPLIES TO MULTI-FAMILY, APARTMENT, THAT WAY THEY DON'T PUT THEM ON THEIR BALCONIES AND
CAUSE A FIRE. >> IF THEY DO IT AFFECTS THEM IN A SINGLE FAMILY HOME AND ALL THEIR NEIGHBORS.
>> IFC DOES HAVE JURISDICTION OVER SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLING ALTHOUGH I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A LITTLE PIECE OF.
FOR THE PUBLIC. >> ANYTHING ELSE.
>> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL MY NAME IS LAKIN HUSKINS AND I LIVE IN LIBERTY HILL SEPTEMBER 18, 2021 A FIRE BROKE OUT AT THE PONDEROSA KILLING ALL 75 DOGS INSIDE.
MY HUSBAND AND I LOST OUR TWO DOGS AND NOT FIRE.
IT WAS A DEVASTATING EXPERIENCE FOR US.
THE IMMENSE SUFFERING AND PAIN WE ENDURED HAS BEEN EXCRUCIATING FOR ME AND I CANNOT LET GO OF. IT WASN'T UNTIL AFTER THE FIRE I LEARNED BECAUSE THE ANIMALS ARE CONSIDERED PROPERTY THESE BUSINESSES ARE NOT REQUIRED TO BUILD OR OPERATE IN A MANNER THAT PRESERVES LIFE. THIS MEANS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO HAVE FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS, DO NOT REQUIRE TO BUILD FIRE RESISTANT MATERIALS AND NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE CONSTANT SUPERVISION. THESE ANIMALS ARE SO MUCH FOR THE PROPERTY TO THE FAMILY MEMBERS THAT LEAD THEM TO BE CARED FOR. THE PRESIDENT THAT CONSIDERED ANIMALS PROPERTY WAS WRITTEN IN 1891.
THE ROLE OF ANIMALS HAS DEFINITELY CHANGED SINCE THAT TIME AND ANIMALS PLAY A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN THE LIVES OF FAMILIES TODAY. OUR LAWS SHOULD REFLECT ANIMAL FAMILY MEMBERS DESERVE MORE PROTECTION THAN THE AND ANIMATE OBJECT OF A BUILDING. PONDEROSA WAS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THERE HAS BEEN MANY DEADLY FIRES AND PET CARE FACILITIES BEFORE IT AND SENSE THEN THERE HAS BEEN NINE FIRES AND PET CARE FACILITIES IN THE STATE OF TEXAS CAUSING 59 PET DEATHS SINCE THEN.
UNTIL REGULATION ON THE FACILITIES ARE MADE INTO COUNTDOWN TO THE NEXT HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.
THIS IS AN UNSPEAKABLY HORRIBLE WAY FOR THESE ANIMALS TO DIE.
WHEN A LIVING BEING IS DEPENDENT ON OTHERS FOR CARE AND SAFETY IT MAKES THEM A VERY VULNERABLE POPULATION ONE THAT REQUIRES US TO SET REGULATIONS TO PROTECT THEM FROM HARM.
IT IS PAST TIME TO SET MINIMUM SAFETY STANDARDS FOR 24 HOUR PET CARE FACILITIES TO PREVENT MASS CASUALTIES.
INCREASING THE SAFETY REQUIREMENT FOR THESE FACILITIES NOT ONLY SECURES THE DEPENDENT ANIMALS INSIDE BUT INCREASES THE SAFETY OF THE FIREFIGHTERS TASKED WITH RESPONDING TO THE DISASTERS. THEY RISK THEIR SAFETY FOR ALL LIVES NOT JUST HUMAN LIVES. THEY DESERVE THE BENEFIT OF INCREASED SAFETY IS TO INCREASE THE ODDS OF RESCUE VERSUS RECOVERY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
>> THINK YOU I APPRECIATE YOU COMING UP.
I KNOW THAT CANNOT EVEN EASY. TO HER POINT AND MAYBE THIS IS CHIEF OR ERIC QUESTION BUT WHAT CHANGES WERE MADE AND AMENDED AFTER YOU MET WITH GEORGETOWN? STOMACH THAT IS A FIRE MARSHAL
QUESTION. >> I THINK TO HER POINT IN TEXAS DIDN'T THEY HAVE A FIRE AT A DAIRY THAT KILLED AN UNGODLY
AMOUNT OF CATTLE. >> YES, SIR.
>> BASICALLY WHAT WE DID IT MIRRORS GEORGETOWN BASED ON HOW MANY PETS THERE IS AND IT REQUIRES FIRE ALARMS OR IF YOU GO OVER A CERTAIN NUMBER OF PETS IT REQUIRES FIRE SPRING WAS TO BE INSTALLED THE TRIGGERS FROM HER SAFETY DEVICES.
>> WHAT ARE THOSE MORE THAN 100 ANIMALS YET TO PUT A SPRINKLER
IN OR MORE THAN 10. >> OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD I BELIEVE THE NUMBER FOUR FIRE ALARMS IS RIGHT AROUND 20 AND SPRINKLERS IS AROUND 70 THRESHOLD.
IT IS LESS THAN A HUNDRED. >> 'S OR ANY SUPERVISION?
>> SUPERVISION AS FAR AS? >> MONITORED, YES, SIR.
[00:50:01]
JUST LIKE ANY BIG BUSINESS OUT THERE THAT THIS WOULD MANUFACTURING THEY HAVE FIRE ALARMS, SPRINKLERS INSTALLED, MONITORED SYSTEMS. IN THE EVENT ONE OF THE SYSTEMS GOES DOWN MY OFFICE WOULD REQUIRE A FIRE WATCH 24/7 UNTIL THE SYSTEM IS UP AND RUNNING AS IT SHOULD BE.>>MONITORING IS WHATNUMBER STOMS ONE OF THE TWO SYSTEMS
INSTALLED. >> IF YOU READ IN THE NOTES IT SAYS RIGHT NOW AND AUTOMATIC ENGLISH SYSTEM IS NOT REQUIRED IF IT'S SERVING 50 OR FEWER ANIMALS AS LONG AS THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS ARE MET WALL AND CEILING HAVE A CLASS A FINISH MAYBE YOU CAN EXPEND WHAT THAT MEANS IN THE FACILITY IS PROVIDED WITH A SUPERVISED FIRE ALARM SYSTEM HAS HAVE A MONITORED FIRE ALARM SYSTEM TO CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IF THERE'S AN ISSUE IN WALL IN CEILING CLASS A FINISH.
>> THAT TYPE OF FINISH IS, IT INVOLVES THE SMOKE DEVELOPED AND FLAME SPREAD INDEX SO IT DOES NOT GENERATE AS MUCH SMOKE IN THE FLAME DOES NOT TAKE OFF AND RUN.
ONE EXAMPLE IS THE STATION NIGHTCLUB FIRE THAT HAPPENED QUITE A FEW YEARS AGO. THE HEAD EGG CRAKE ON THE WALL AND IT SET THE WHOLE PLACE UP IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE SO THEY HAVE TO HAVE MATERIALS THAT ARE MORE FIRE RESISTANT.
THEY DON'T BURN US FAST AND OFF GAS AS MUCH SMOKE.
>> ALRIGHT STOMACH ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
>> NO, SIR. >> WILL OPEN UP A PUBLIC HEARING AT 751. IF THERE'S ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, PLEASE COME FORWARD.
>> WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 751.
OPEN A BACKUP FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION OR ACTION.
>> I WANT TO THANK HER FOR BRINGING THIS TO ATTENTION WE GOT THE E-MAIL ON APRIL AND I WILL WORK WITH CITY STAFF IN THE ASD ON THE AGENDA. I KNOW WE WANTED TO GET IT IN MAY, WE DO NOT MAKE THAT BUT IT'S GETTING DONE NOW FROM GOD REDOING THAT AND GRATEFUL FOR CITIZENS WHO ARE WILLING TO COME AND TALK TO THEIR ELECTED LEADERS AND GET THINGS DONE.
THANK YOU. >> WITHOUT WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO PROVE A POINT WHEN AS PRESENTED.
>> MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM GORDON.
MAYOR MAY PRO TEM GORDON HAVE O-2023-029 IS PRESENTED.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND QUESTION. >> SECOND BY COUNSEL NEVER THOMPSON. ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION?
HEARING ON, PLEASE CALL THE. >> COUNCILMAN RESORT IN.
>> AYE. >> COUNSEL NEVER THOMPSON.
>> MAYOR PRO TEM GORDON. >> AYE.
[9.1. Consideration and possible action regarding possible appointments, re-appointments and/or removals to City Boards, Commissions, Task Forces, Economic Development Corporations, Local Government Corporations and Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Boards, City Council Liaisons, and Area Government appointments]
>> MOTION PASSES 6 - 0. >> NEXT WE HAVE ITEM 9 .1 POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING POSSIBLE APPOINTMENTS, REAPPOINTMENT AND/OR REMOVALS TO CITY BOARDS, COMMISSIONS, TASKFORCES, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, LOCAL GOVERNMENT CORPORATIONS AND TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE BOARDS, CITY COUNCIL LIAISONS AND AREA GOVERNMENT APPOINTMENT.
I KNOW COUNCIL MEMBER CLARK, YOU WERE WORKING ON I THINK CONTACTING ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS?
>> YES, SIR, WE MET AS A NOMINATING COMMITTEE YESTERDAY.
WE HAD THE CITY SECRETARY ANGELO WORK DILIGENTLY TO WORK WITH ALL THE BOARDS AND COMMISSION CHAIRS TO FIND OUT ABOUT REAPPOINTMENTS AND THEN WE WENT THROUGH ALL OF THEM.
WE WILL GO THROUGH EACH ONE AND WE HAVE ALL OF THEM HERE.
WE WILL GO FOR EACH ONE THAT WE BEGET UNCLEAR AND ALSO THE UPDATE BASED ON THE BOOKS TO THE EXCEL SHEET TO BE UPDATED.
>> IF I START WITH AN ITEM. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO REMOVE MAYOR SNYDER IN COUNCIL MEMBER CLARK FROM THE D.C.
>> WE ALREADY HAD THAT INCLUDED INHERENT.
>> LET US GO THROUGH OUR LIST IN THE ORDER THE NOMINATING
COMMITTEE DID IF WE COULD. >> AND TRY TO BRING SOMETHING
>> AND TO ADD COUNCIL MEMBER THOMPSON AND COUNCIL MEMBER KOLAR. I THINK THIS IS OUTSIDE OF THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE FOR TALKING ABOUT COUNSEL APPOINTMENT AND
COUNCIL MEMBER. >> I JUST WANT TO SAY WE HAVE A
IF THERE IS A SECOND WEEK IN DISCUSSION AND THEN MOVE ON.
YOU GUYS HAD A DIFFERENT PROPOSAL FOR THIS OR SOMETHING
[00:55:04]
ELSE? >> THE PROTOCOLS WE ADOPTED FOR ALL BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS FOR PEOPLE TO BE APPOINTED TO A BOARD, HAS TO SUBMIT AN ALLOCATION TO THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE AND WE WILL REVIEW WITH THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD WILL MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL. SO WE FOLLOW THAT PROCEDURE FOR EVERY BOARD AND COMMISSION INCLUDING THE EDC SO WE NEED TO FOLLOW THE PROCESS THAT WE ADOPTED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND THEN WE CAN VOTE ON THOSE AND IF THAT FAILS AND WE WANT TO DISCUSS SOMETHING DIFFERENT, THAT IS FINE BUT WE SHOULD ALL THE PROTOCOLS THAT WE ADOPTED. THAT IS WHY I SENT OUT THE APPLICATION THAT WE RECEIVED. THE CHAIR INTERVIEWED THE PERSON AND ALSO MADE RECOMMENDATION THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS REDUCED UNDER ONE COUNCIL MEMBER THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE WENT THROUGH THAT AS WELL AND WILL PUT FORWARD THE NAMES OF THE NOMINATING COMMITTEES AUTHORITY IS TO DO.
I DON'T KNOW WHY WERE TRAINED TO JUMP AHEAD AND NOT FOLLOW THE
PROTOCOLS. >> IN RESPECT TO THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE. IT IS TO REVIEW APPLICATIONS, THEN IT IS TO RECOMMEND APPOINTMENTS.
DOES IT INCLUDE CONTACTING EVERY BOARD AND COMMISSION MEMBER TO SEE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GET OFF OR GO OUT AND ASK PEOPLE WE NEED YOU TO GET ON THE BOARD AND IF I CAN GET YOU A SPOT CAN I GET YOU ON THERE. IS THAT PART OF THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE WHICH IS REVIEWING APPLICATIONS.
>> THE PROCESS IS AND RESET IT PUBLICLY FOR THE LAST THREE WEEKS WE HAVE VACANCIES, WE DIRECTED THE CITY SECRETARY IN PUBLIC AT THE LAST MEETING TO CONTACT THE CHAIRS AND ASK FOR, WE DON'T REQUIRE RENOMINATION TO RESUBMIT AN APPLICATION THEY HAVE TO SEND AN E-MAIL OR VOCALIZE BACK THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR RENOMINATION WE PUBLICLY AND THE LAST TWO WEEKS AGO ASKED ANGELA TO DO THAT AND SHE REACH OUT TO THE BOARD AND COMMISSION PEOPLE SHE THEN GOT ALL THE RESPONSES, PUT IN EXCEL SEND IT TO THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE THEN WE MET AND DISCUSSED AND READY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM WHAT WE RECEIVED FOLLOWING THE PROTOCOLS THAT WE AS A
COUNSEL ADOPTED. >> THE LAST THING ON THE EDC.
I THINK THAT'S DIFFERENT BECAUSE A COUNSEL IS GOING TO DETERMINE HOW MANY COUNCILS SAT ON THE E EDC, NOT THE EDC UNLESS THEY CHANGE THEIR BYLAWS AND WE APPROVE THE BYLAWS.
>> IT SAYS UP TO TWO. >> TO SIMPLE FOR THE COUNCIL DETERMINES. THAT'LL BE A COUNSEL DISCUSSION WHICH I STARTED HOPEFULLY AND ALSO THE APPOINTMENTS OF A COUNCIL MEMBER ON THE EDC SINCE IT'S A UNIQUE BOARD AND WE DON'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY ON OTHER BOARDS I THINK IS ALSO A COUNSEL
>> THAT'S WHY I MADE NOT A MOTION ON LIBRARY OR PARKS BUT ON THE ONE BOARD THAT CITY COUNCIL SITS ON AND PARTICIPATES IN IN THE CITY COUNCIL ULTIMATELY TAKES THE PEOPLE.
THE REASON I BEEN ON THERE TWO YEARS AND I THINK YOUR TENURE AS COUNCIL MEMBER AND EDC YOU HAVE BEEN ON THERE TWO YEARS.
WE NEED TO MIX THINGS UP IN MY MIND COUNCIL MEMBER THORTON HAS BEEN ON THERE PREVIOUSLY IS A NUMBER.
COUNCIL MEMBER THOMPSON IN HIS SHORT TIME HAS IMPRESSED ME WITH THE ENTHUSIASM OF TALKING TO BUSINESS LEADERS IN TALKING TO PEOPLE AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HUTTO CAN DO TO GET DEVELOPMENT HERE AND COUNCIL MEMBER KOLAR IS ONE OF OUR SENIOR PEOPLE IN THE ONLY REASON I DIDN'T PUT MAYOR PRO TEM GORDON WAS BECAUSE WERE ALSO WORKING ON THE DOWNTOWN BUSINESS ASSOCIATION AND I DON'T WANT ANYBODY SPREAD OUT TO SIN BUT
THAT'S WHY I MADE THIS MOTION. >> I DON'T DISPUTE THAT.
MY POINT IF COUNCIL MEMBER KOLAR IS NOT HERE AND HAS NOT SUBMITTED ANY INCLINATION THAT THAT'S WHAT SHE WANTS TO SIGN UP FOR ADDITIONAL TWO MEETINGS A MONTH I THINK IS INAPPROPRIATE AND UNFAIR TO SAY THAT THEY'RE NOT HERE AND WOULD WANT TO DO
IT. >> I THINK MAYBE RESPECTFULLY, MAYOR HE MIGHT BE SURPRISED WITH WHAT THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE DOES HAVE TO PUT FORWARD. OBVIOUS THE ANOTHER'S EMOTION IN THAT HAS BEEN SECONDED BUT I THANK YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED IF YOU ACTUALLY WAIT AND SEE WHAT THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE HAS PUT
TOGETHER TO PRESENT TO COUNSEL. >> WE CAN ALSO DISCUSS YOUR IDEAS FOR THE COMMITTEE'S IDEAS IN TERMS OF AMENDMENT.
IT'S NOT LIKE COMMUNICATION OR DISCUSSION THIS IS MEANT TO ADD.
[01:00:01]
>> I WAS NOT DISPUTING I WAS SAYING WE SHOULD FOLLOW COUNSEL PROTOCOL AND WILL MAKE IT TO THAT WE PUT FORWARD IN IF THEY SAY YOU DON'T WANT TO VOTE ON ONE OF THE GROUP INDIVIDUAL AND WE GO BY EACH PLACE THAT IS FINE I WAS INSANE WITH THE PROCESS WAS. WHAT WE WERE GOING TO SUGGEST AFTER HEARING FEEDBACK FROM THE CHAIR THEY WOULD LIKE IT TO GET DOWN TO A SINGLE COUNCIL MEMBER IF WE WOULD BE WILLING TO ENTERTAIN THAT THAT'S WITH THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD HAVE SET INCLUDING THE CHAIR. WE GOT AN APPLICATION IN FROM PARENTS OWENS AND THE CHAIR INTERVIEWED THIS PERSON AND LET THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE GO THAT THEY WOULD ENDORSE AND HAVE THE PERSON ADDED TO THE EDC. I WAS GOING TO PUT FORWARD THE NOMINATION TO REPLACE ME ON PLACE ONE WITH PARENTS OWENS WE WE'RE GOING TO PUT WAIS-III SEAN LUCAS TO GET REAPPOINTED BACK ON THE BOARD. WE WE'RE GOING TO PUT FORWARD BRIAN THOMPSON AS YOU SAID TO REPLACE PLACE FIVE WHICH IS YOU AND RE-NOMINATE MATT ON PLACE SEVEN THAT WAS FOR AND ALSO RECOMMENDED BY THE CHAIR. INTERPROCESS THAT'S WHAT WE WILL PUT FORWARD A MOTION TO VOTE, DISCUSS ENDED UP THAT WOULD BE THE AMENDED TO YOUR MOTION THAT WE DO IT AS A NOMINATING
COMMITTEE PUT FORWARD AS A VOTE. >> TO BE HAVING TO MIMIC?
>> SECOND. >> COUNCIL MEMBER CLARK, DO WE
>> COUNSEL NEVER CAN THEY? >> I DO SEE THE APPLICATION AND PARENTS IS A VERY GOOD PUBLIC SERVANT.
THE ONE CONCERN I HAVE THERE IS TO BOARDS AND OUR ENTIRE CITY IN MY MIND THAT ARE DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER BOARD AND THAT IS PLANNING AND ZONING IN THE EDC AND THERE NEEDS TO BE IN MY OPINION SOME SORT OF BUSINESS, OWNERSHIP EXPERIENCE, BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT COMMERCIAL BANKING. WE HAD A PERIOD OF TIME WHEN THE EDC WAS MADE UP OF VERY NICE PEOPLE BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE SO NOT A LOT GOT DONE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE'S OPINIONS.
THEN WE STARTED LOOKING AND SOMETIMES YOU GET APPLICATIONS AND BUT IN SOME INSTANCES YOU NEED TO LOOK WHAT ARE WE MISSING ON THE EDC TO MAKE IT BETTER FOR THE COMMERCIAL BANKER AND A PERSON WITH CONSTRUCTION BIDDING EXPERIENCE.
WITH A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE IN A PERSON THAT RAN THE ENTIRE TDL ARE FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS.
WE HAVE A PERSON CURRENTLY THAT'S DONE A380 AND MOVE THE COMPANY. WE ADDED ANOTHER PERSON.
ANOTHER EXPERIENCE LEVEL. MY FEAR IF WE ARE GOOD PEOPLE PUBLIC SERVICE BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THE SKILL SET THEN WERE TALKING MULTIMILLION DOLLAR BUDGETS.
MY CONCERN WE MAY END UP IN A SITUATION WHERE WE GO BACK THE WAY WE CAME FROM BECAUSE NOT THIS YEAR OR NEXT YEAR BUT OVER TIME WE LOSE ALL OF THE KNOWLEDGE THAT IS MAKING IT GO WELL AND WE GO BACK TO KIND OF HOW WE ARE.
I WOULD CAUTION EVERYBODY THAT WE CAN BE FRIENDS AND PEOPLE THAT IF THEY DON'T HAVE THE EXPERIENCE JUST LIKE PLANNING AND ZONING IF YOU PUT SEVEN PEOPLE UP WITH A WANT TO SERVE.
YOU MAY SEE THINGS GET APPROVED IN PEOPLE SPECIAL HEAD SAYING WHY DO WE DO THAT. IT'S BECAUSE THE PEOPLE OF THE, PLANNING AND ZONING HAS CHANGED WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE OF EXPERIENCE IN THE FIELD AND LAST THING ICE WILL FEEL LIKE I APPRECIATE THE CONCERN OF THE COUNCIL MOTHERS.
I DON'T MIND NOMINATING ONE AND LEAVING ONE OPEN AND LEAVING COUNCILMAN MCCULLERS ACCEPTANCE BUT WE ARE TALKING THE EC WILL HAVE BUDGETS HIGHER THAN THE CITY OF HUTTO WILL HAVE PREDICTORS CAN BE 60, 70, $80 MILLION TRANSACTION GOING ON ALL BE HONEST I THANK YOU NEED MUCH COUNSEL AND INVOLVEMENT AND WHILE IT FRUSTRATES PEOPLE WE ULTIMATELY HAVE TO PROVE THOSE.
IF THEY ARE DOING THINGS THAT COME BEFORE US AND WE DO NOT APPROVE THEM THAT WILL CREATE MORE FRUSTRATION.
WHILE WE ARE DOING THE DEALS I THINK IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE.
I WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF MORE THAN TWO BUT I THINK WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BYLAWS OF THE POINT.
THAT IS MY THOUGHTS ON. >> I'M NOT OPPOSED TO COUNCIL MEMBER KOLAR BUT SHE'S NOT HERE TO TALK WERE SAFE AT THE TIME
COMMITMENT SHE CAN COMMIT TO. >> AND WE HOLD OFF AND APPOINT ONE COUNCIL MEMBER TO FILL THE SPOT AND REVISIT THIS AFTER OUR
JOINT MEETING? >> WHAT WE HAVE ONE MOTIONS FEMA COMMITTEE TO VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT.
>> I DON'T THAT WE NEED TO WAIT UNTIL AFTER THAT IT WOULD BE BASICALLY WAIT UNTIL JULY 6 WHICH IS THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING AND I DON'T KNOW IF THE EDC MEETS AGAIN BEFORE THEN.
[01:05:02]
>> THEY MEET NEXT WEEK. >> HEARING OR THE DISCUSSION.

I THINK WE SHOULD HONOR. >> I'M ASSUMING THE POLICY OF COUNCIL MEMBER'S ARE WELCOME IN THE MEETING IS STILL IN PLACE I'M NOT AS CONCERNED HOW MANY COUNCIL MEMBERS ON THE RIGHT I THINK WE SAW VISIBILITY WHAT'S GOING ON.

>> AYE. >> MOTION PASSES 6 - 0.
TWO MORE ITEMS AND THEN WE CAN BE DONE IF YOU WILL INDULGE ME FOR A SECOND I WANT TO ANNOUNCE WE HAVE SOME VACANCIES BECAUSE PEOPLE MOVING WERE CHOSE NOT TO BE REAPPOINTED IN ALL OF THOSE WILL BE GIVEN TO THE CITY SECRETARY AND AFTER THE MEETING ALL UPDATE AND SEND IT BACK TO HER IN A BE ON THE WEBSITE POSTED FOR VACANCIES AND THE OTHER PART WE ARE GOING TO HOPEFULLY ENCOURAGE ANYONE IN THE CITIZENS UNIVERSITY THAT THEY WILL ALSO BE GIVEN THE LIST SO AFTER THEY FINISHED THEY WANT TO APPLY. I BELIEVE WILL BE DONE BEFORE THE NEXT MEETING SO GET YOUR APPLICATIONS IN AND I DON'T KNOW FOR JULY WEEKEND IF WE WILL MEET BEFORE THE SIXTH IT'LL PROBABLY BE THE SECOND WEEK IN JULY. THERE IS THAT.
THE LAST THING THE EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS TASK FORCE ACTUALLY SUNSETS JUNE 30 AND BECAUSE WE HAVE EMERGENCY SERVICES DIRECTOR WHICH WE DO NOT HAVE BEFORE I BELIEVE THE TASK FORCE SHOULD GO
AHEAD AND DISSOLVE. >> ALL DISAGREE ON DISSOLVING.
I THANK YOU NEED TO SIT THROUGH MEETING OTHER EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS TASK FORCE BEFORE YOU DISSOLVE WE DISSOLVE THE COMMUNICATION TASK FORCE AN HOUR ASKING PEOPLE HOW WE ARE COMMUNICATING. I WOULD GET WITH MR. ZITO GET WITH THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMISSION AND FIND OUT EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HIRE A LOT OF EMPLOYEES TO TAKE OVER WITH THE TASK FORCE IS DOING WHICH I DON'T THINK JAMES WILL LIKE ASKING FOR ALL OF THE ORIOLE SEE THE TASK FORCE IS WORKING ON WAYS WHEN THERE IS A DISASTER AND THE THINGS THAT THE BE ABLE TO DO.
BEFORE WE GET ON AROUND TALK TO THEM.
>> WE WON'T DO IT I JUST DON'T WANT TO BRING IT UP.
I WOULD ASK THAT WE HAVE AN AGENDA ITEM PRESENTED WITH THE EMERGENCY DIRECTOR WITH THE AMOUNT AND PROCESS WHAT HE NEEDS AND TO DO THAT AND THIS WILL STAY IN PLACE UNTIL WE GET THE ANSWER PRETTY WILL BE DISSOLVED IT'LL JUST BE IN PLACE.
>> WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION TO RENEW IT.
>> THEY ALL EXPIRE ON JUNE 30. WE DON'T DISSOLVE THE TASK FORCE THEY WOULD JUST STAY IN HOLDOVER POSITION.
>> AT LEAST THAT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO BRING UP THE QUESTION DO WE DISSOLVE IT OR FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. THAT WILL BE FINE.
THAT IS IT FOR AMERICA IF WE DON'T TAKE ACTION TONIGHT THEY
STILL MEET. >> HAND RADIO TRAINING.
>> IS THAT CORRECT SENSOR MADE BY ORDINANCE AND HAS A DATE, IS
THAT CORRECT? >> THE TASK FORCE SINCE THEY ARE APPOINTED IN THE CONSTITUTION HAS A HOLD OVER PROVISION I BELIEVE THAT WOULD APPLY TO THE TASK FORCE.
>> WORST-CASE IT COULD BE SEVEN RESIDENTS WHO ILLEGALLY MET TO TALK ABOUT EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS.
>> IF IT'S NOT A HOLDOVER AND THEY MEET THERE NOT UNDER CITY ORDINANCE REGULATION SMACK TASK FORCE WE DETERMINE THEY DON'T
>> A COUPLE SUBCOMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS.
WE HAVE A CONTAINER PARK SUBCOMMITTEE.
I'M ASKING MAYOR PRO TEM GORDON, COUNCIL MEMBER THOMPSON AND
MYSELF TO MEET ON THAT. >> CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT THAT IS.
>> IT'S A COMMITTEE TO TALK ABOUT CONTAINER PARKS.
IT'LL BE AFTER WE MEET WHAT WE TALK ABOUT.
A SUBCOMMITTEE, I DON'T KNOW THE BEST WAY TO DO THIS BUT A PROCLAMATION NAMING THE CITIZEN OF THE YEAR COMMITTEE.
COUNCIL MEMBER CLARK, COUNCIL NUMBER THORTON AND COUNCIL MEMBERS SEEM TO BE WELL CAUGHT. I'M JUMPING THE GUN BUT I'M PRETTY CONFIDENT SHE'S GOING TO BE SWORN IN TUESDAY THE IDEA OF THIS WE GET REQUEST FOR PROCLAMATION AND I TALKED TO CITY MANAGEMENT WE DON'T HAVE A STANDARD YOU JUST DO IT.
NAMING RIGHTS WEATHERBY BUILDINGS OR STREETS I'VE BEEN ASKED ABOUT STUFF LIKE THAT AND RIGHT NOW I DEFAULTED WE DON'T HAVE A POLICY SO I DON'T THINK WE COULD NAME A BUILDING AFTER SOMEBODY MATTER HOW GREAT THEY ARE WITHOUT A POLICY AND I'VE BEEN ASKED WE DON'T DO ANYTHING FOR CITIZEN OF THE YEAR OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT AND THEY WANT ME TO PICK A RANDOM PERSON AND
[01:15:02]
MAKE THEM CITIZEN OF THE YEAR AND I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE GUIDELINES. IF WE DON'T HAVE GUIDELINES THEN ALL THE STUFF IN MY OPINION CAN BE ABUSED AND POLITICAL IN NATURE NOBODY WANTS TO BE CITIZEN OF THE YEAR AND DRAGGED THROUGH FACEBOOK FOR BEING A POLITICAL APPOINTEE.SO IF YOU WILL BE OKAY WITH THOSE APPOINTMENTS I WILL HEAR FROM COUNCIL ELECT PREVENT ANOTHER PROPER TERM WILL CALL LATER ON ON THAT BUT COUNCIL MEMBER CLARK AND THORTON ARE OKAY WITH. BY DIRECTION OF THEM MANY PROTOCOLS. PROBABLY SAID TO BE X NUMBER OF
SERVICE HOURS. >> YOU GUYS CAN MEET AND BRING SOMETHING UP THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

THE DOCUMENT IS SIMILAR TO IMPROVEMENT NUMBER ONE AND SAME DEVELOPMENT AND NEW IMPROVEMENT IN GEOGRAPHIC AREA WITHIN THE DISTRICT AND IT DOES HAVE SEVERAL EXHIBITS TO IT. MOST OF THE AGREEMENTS HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL. THE NEW ONE IS A REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT 10.3. THAT ALLOWS THE DEVELOPMENT TO BE REIMBURSED FROM THE ASSESSMENT PAID FROM THE PIT BONDS WHEN THEY ARE ISSUED IN THE AMOUNT OF THE REIMBURSEMENT MAXIMUM IS 9.95 MILLION I BELIEVE IS THE CORRECT AMOUNT.
THE FORM OF REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT IS IDENTICAL TO WHAT WE USE FROM NUMBER ONE WE DID NOT WANT TO MAKE CHANGES AT ALL.
NEW CERTIFICATION REQUIRED BY STATE STATUTE AND THE LEGISLATURE THOSE WERE ADDED OTHER THAN THAT REVISING THE NAME OF THE IMPROVEMENT AREA FROM ONE, TWO AND UPDATING MINOR THINGS. IT IS A FORM THAT YOU SEEN BEFORE AND WERE SUCCESSFULLY ON THE FIRST TRANSACTION.
I'M HAPPY TO EXPLAIN FURTHER BUT THAT LAYS OUT WHAT THE ITEMS ARE IN HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
>> I DO HAVE ONE AMENDMENT IT IS ON PAGE 61.
IT HAS TO DO WITH THE LEGACY LITIGATION.
THE GOVERNOR DID SIGN HOSPITAL 1817 ON JUNE 9, 2023 AND WE NEED
[01:25:06]
TO MAKE THAT CORRECTION. >> THAT IS A GOOD POINT, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT SOMETHING COULD CHANGE BETWEEN NOW AND WHEN THIS DOCUMENT IS POSTED NEXT WEEK I'M NOT SURE HOW LIKELY THAT IS BUT IF SOMETHING OCCURS IT REQUIRES US TO MAKE THE CHANGE PAID WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO IT TO YOU ACTION TONIGHT WITHOUT COMING BACK TO COUNSEL.
IF IT'S A MATERIAL CHANGE TO DISCUSS IF WE COME BACK OR NOT IT'S POSSIBLE THE DOCUMENT COULD CHANGE SLIGHTLY FAX CHANGE FOR WE GET OUT TO THE MARKET. I JUST WANTED COUNSEL TO BE AWARE THAT WE WILL UPDATE BECAUSE WE SAID THE GOVERNING STILL HAS NOT SIGNED THAT AND THEN HE DID SIGN ON JUNE 9.
>> WE WILL GET THAT CHANGE MADE BEFORE POSTING.
>> WHAT'S THE CHANGE THAT COULD BE NEXT WEEK THAT HE SIGNS THE BILL OR SOMETHING COMING UP THAT WE MAY OR MAY NOT.
>> THE CITY WILL INTO THAT BETTER THAN I CAN WE'VE BEEN FOLLOWING IT VERY CLOSELY AND AS THINGS HAVE CHANGED WE DO VOLUNTARY FILING TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT THE CHANGES BEEN.
I DON'T IF THERE'S A POSSIBILITY BETWEEN NOW AND THEN OR NOT.
>> THE LITIGATION IN THE TEXAS SUPREME COURT AND WE ALREADY DISCLOSED THE STAGE OF WEDDINGTON.
WHEN HE SIGNED THE BILL IT REQUIRES THE LITIGANT LEGACY TO TAKE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION. WE DID PUT THAT AND IF THE GOVERNOR SIGNS THE BILL THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION. THE ONLY THING WE ARE CHANGING WE DID NOT KNOW WHEN WE WERE PREPARING THIS DOCUMENT THAT THE GOVERNOR SIGNED THE BILL. WE'RE JUST GOING TO CHANGE THAT.
>> YOU ARE LOOKING FOR APPROVAL OF 223130 IN 223131 WITH THE AMENDMENT THAT WE UPDATE WITH THE SIGNING OF THE BILL.
>> WHAT PART SAID ABOUT ANY CHANGES THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE BEFORE POSTING. IF THERE SUBSTANTIVE WILL BRING
THEM BACK TO COUNSEL. >> QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR ACTION
FROM COUNSEL. >> ONE THING THAT I NOTICED PAGE 409 OF THE PACKET IT LIST THE CITY COUNCIL WAS PLACED BY BANK IT ISN'T CURRENTLY STILL FILLED BY COUNCIL MEMBER KINSEY AND SHE WILL REMAIN UNTIL TUESDAY BUT THEY ARE SAYING IT IS BANK IT

REVISION AS WELL. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WOLCOTT? TWOMAC I DON'T KNOW WHEN WE PLAN TO POST THE DOCUMENT.

[10.4. Consideration and possible action relating to Resolution No. R-2023-133 of the City of Hutto, Texas, accepting a petition and calling for a public hearing on the creation of the Liddell Walker Public Improvement District (PID) within the City of Hutto, Texas (Legal)]
[01:30:02]
>> THAT BRINGS US TO ITEM 10 .4 CONSIDERATION ANO RESOLUTION R-2023-133 OF THE CITY OF HUTTO TEXAS EXCEPTING A PETITION IN CALLING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE CREATION OF THE DELL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT. WITHIN THE CITY OF HUTTO TEXAS.
>> DOES THIS SAVE ME? >> MAYOR AND COUNCIL, STATE LAW REQUIRES IF THE CITY COUNCIL IS CONSIDERING CREATING A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT THEY HAVE TO HAVE A RESOLUTION AND HAVE ALL THE STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS IN THE RESOLUTION TO CALL THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ACCEPT THE POSITION THAT THE DEVELOPER FILED TO CREATE THE DISTRICT. THAT IS WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT. UNDERSTAND THE DEVELOPER HAS A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE THAT COUNCIL HAS HAD A PRESENTATION ON THIS DEVELOPMENT.
>> IF WE DID IT WAS TWO YEARS AGO.
>> GOOD EVENING RICK ROSENBERG THE PFG CONSULTANT TO THE DEVELOPER. YOU WERE HERE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO ON DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT RELATED TO THE PROJECT BUT THIS WILL BE AN UPDATE ON THE OVERALL PROJECT.
THANK YOU. >> THE PROJECT LOCATED EAST OF MUSTANG CREEK COMMUNITY IS 1100 SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS, FOR LOT TYPES EXPECTED PRICING 380 UP TO 675.
WILL BE REVIEWED AND UPDATED AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE FUTURE BOND ISSUE OBVIOUSLY. THIS IS THE LAND PLAN SHOWING DIFFERENT LOT TYPES IN THE OVERALL COMMUNITY.
VERY HARD TO BE, MY APOLOGIES. WE WANT TO GO THROUGH THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS PER THE CITY. POLICY THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN ANNEXED INTO THE CITY. WE ARE MEETING ALL THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS RELATED TO ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AND WE ARE ALSO ENHANCING BY CREATING AN EARTHING CHANNEL TO MITIGATE UNCONTROLLABLE SURFACE DRAINAGE. FOR THE RECORD THE DEVELOPER JAMIE DOHERTY IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF MY EXPERTISE. ALSO SIGNIFICANT WORK ON ENHANCING THE ROADWAY NETWORK INCLUDING EASING TRAFFIC AROUND THE SCHOOL. WE LAID IT OUT I'M NOT GOING TO READ ALL OF THEM BUT YOU CAN READ THEM AFTER LEDGER IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THEM ALREADY. SIGNIFICANT ABOVE AND BEYOND REQUIREMENTS OF THE CITY CODE. WE WILL HAVE 28 ACRES OF PARKS IN EXCESS OF THE 25-ACRE REQUIREMENT AS WELL AS MAKING THE PAYMENT OF $800 PER LOT, THAT IS GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND THE STANDARD. HERE IS A MAP OF THE OPEN SPACE OF THE PROJECT. WE WILL HAVE UPSIZING OF THE LIST STATION AND WE WILL MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO DESIGN AND CONSTRUCT A FUTURE 24-INCH WATER LINE ALONG MUSTANG CREEK TO PROVIDE MORE CAPACITY FOR THE CITY.
OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A LOT IN THE CITY AND WERE PROVIDING ADDITIONAL WASTEWATER CAPACITY FOR THAT.
HERE IS A LOOK AT THE FUTURE WASTEWATER INTERCEPTOR LINE.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT FEE. UNDER THE NEW POLICY THE FEE IS CALCULATED AT 10% PROJECTED GROSS BOND ABOUT IN THE EXACT AMOUNT WILL BE DETERMINED WHEN BONDS ARE ISSUED BASED ON THE EXPECTED BOND AMOUNT THIS WILL BE OVER $4.3 MILLION.
THIS PROJECT WAS ORIGINALLY SUBMITTED PRIOR TO THE ADOPTION OF THE NEW POLICY AND THAT WOULD'VE BEEN $2000 PER LOT ABOUT 2.2 MILLION BUT THE DEVELOPER HAS AGREED TO CONTRIBUTE EAST ON THE NEW POLICY.
A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE OF $2.2 MILLION FOR THE CITY.
FROM AN ECONOMIC STANDPOINT OF BUILDOUT IS EXPECTED TO BEFORE HUNDRED $60 MILLION OF ASSESSED VALUE.
TARGETED MAXIMUM BONDS ARE ALMOST 44 MILLION.
NET BONDS TO THE DEVELOPER AFTER THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FEE OF SIGHTLY MORE THAN $2 MILLION TARGETING A 30 YEAR TERM I KNOW THERE ARE SOME PID AND THERE WILL BE SOME 30 YEARS WITH THE MAXIMUM EQUIVALENT 72 CENTS A POLICY LIMITATION IS A TOTAL TAX RATE OF THREE-POINT AYE 10. WE EXPECT THREE IMPROVEMENT AREAS TO BE REFINED AS THE DEVELOPMENT MOVES FORWARD.
RIGHT NOW 400, 40293 LOTS. FROM A TAX STANDPOINT UPON
[01:35:07]
BUILDOUT THIS WILL GENERATE ALMOST $2 MILLION IN INCREMENTAL TAX REVENUE FOR THE CITY OVER 6 MILLION FOR THE IST IN A TOTAL OF $9 MILLION FOR ALL THE TAX AND JURISDICTION.AND WE LAID OUT THE IMPROVEMENT COST NORTH OF $40 MILLION.
OBVIOUSLY DIESEL BE UPDATED AND REFINED AS WE MOVE FORWARD AS WELL. WITH THAT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE CHANCE TO DISCUSS THE
PROJECT. >> THANK YOU, QUESTIONS FROM
COUNCIL. >> ON THE 28 ACRES, OPEN SPACE.
HOW MUCH IS FLOODPLAIN VERSUS NOT FLOODPLAIN.
>> THERE IS NO FEMA FLOODPLAIN. >> OKAY, THANK YOU.
>> THE QUESTION THAT IS NOT MY BUSINESS BUT I WILL ASK, WHY NOT DO 35 YEARS INSTEAD OF 30 IF YOU CAN LOWER THE TAX RATE BECAUSE LESS PEOPLE WILL PAY AND I KNOW IT SEEMS LIKE 35 IS A LONGTIME BUT MOST PEOPLE WILL BE IN THE HOUSE IN MY MIND FROM THE TIME OF PURCHASE TO SELL SO WERE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO KNOW THAT THEY'RE STARTING FIVE YEARS OR 30.
>> WERE OPEN FOR THE DISCUSSION. 35 YEARS LIKELY TO HIRE
INTEREST-FREE. >> I WOULD REFER TO YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR. WERE HAPPY TO DISCUSS THE.
>> OUT OF QUESTION LESS TAXES TO PEOPLE IS MORE MONEY THEY CAN SPEND IF YOU CAN SO HOUSES AND MAKE SENSE.
>> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ACTION FOR THIS? I'M TRYING TO LOOK AT THE NUMBER.
>> I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION R-2023-133 AS PRESENTED IN TO ACCEPT THE PETITION CALLING FOR A PUBLIC

>> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL ECONOMIC GOVERNMENT DIRECTOR. HELP ME FOR ONE SECOND, 10.5 AND 11.1 OBVIOUSLY WE ARE IN A PROCESS NOW TEEING UP IN ABATEMENT DISCUSSION IN A FORMAL SENSE, REMIND ME THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE TWO. >> WE RESEARCHED THE ORDINANCE CREATING THE TAX ABATEMENT GUIDELINES AND WE LOOKED AT THE TAX CODE BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN DO IN ORDER TO FINALIZE THE CREATION AND THE TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENT, THERE IS A REQUIREMENT AND TO ENTER INTO TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENTS AND WE CANNOT FIND ONE THAT WENT WITH THE TAX GUIDELINES.

THIS NOTICE IS GIVEN IN THE MANNER REQUIRED BY THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT AT LEAST 30 DAYS BEFORE THE SCHEDULED TIME OF THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING DESCRIBED IN THIS NOTICE. THERE IS NO ACTION WE ARE JUST
PUBLICLY SAYING SOMETHING. >> MAYOR AND COUNCIL YOU NEED TO TAKE SOME ACTION AND I WANT TO NOTE A TYPO I BELIEVE SR 123 SHOULD BE CR AND WHAT YOU'RE DOING THIS DIRECTING THIS NOTICE BE PLACED IN THE NEWSPAPER AND ALSO THE TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENT THAT HAS BEEN CONSIDERED ALL BY THE HUTTO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BY THE HUTTO DATACENTER CAMPUS. THEY HAVE REQUESTED TO CHANGES WHICH COUNCIL WAS GIVEN A COPY OF THE TWO CHANGES.
ONE OF THE CHANGES. >> I BELIEVE ONE OF THEM WAS TO REORDER THE INFORMATION AND APPLICATION SO THAT WE MOVED UP THE DESCRIPTION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE COMMUNITY, KIND OF AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PROCESS IN THE INFORMATION IN THE APPLICATION
[01:45:02]
IS FARTHER DOWN IN APPLICATION. >> I REMEMBER THAT MOTION THE SECOND REV OF THE APPLICATION WOULD HAVE THOSE CHANGES THAT WE APPROVED AS PRESENTED AS TO EVERYTHING.
>> IS THE SAME CONTENT ULTIMATELY THE ORDER.
>> YOU RECEIVED A MEMO WITH THE REQUESTED CHANGES.
WE HAVE A DEFINITION OF FORCE THE JUROR IN THE FINAL SENTENCE INDICATES. IF WITH REASONABLE DILIGENCE AND USING THE WORDS REASONABLE DILIGENCE AND COMMERCIALLY USABLE MEASURES. THEY REQUEST IS TO CAUSE LITIGATION OF WHAT THE CITY MAY THINK IT WAS AND LOOK TO OTHER PARAGRAPHS THAT HADN'T BEEN IN IT, THAT IS WHEN CHANGE THAT WE ARE ASKING WHERE THE APPLICANT IS ASKING THE COUNCIL TO MAKE.
2.3 THE WORD AGREEMENT WAS LEFT OFF.
ON THE TRANSFERABILITY THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO ASSIGN IT AND THEN NOTIFY THE CITY OF THE ASSIGNMENT TO THEIR AFFILIATES AND THEIR PARTY AND TRANSFER PORTIONS OF THE PROPERTY.
>> THAT WAS THE REASON FOR REQUESTING THAT MIGHT OCCUR IN THE EVENT ONE OF THEIR BUYING OUT A PIECE OF THE BUILDING AND BECOME AN OWNER THEY WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY WITH OUR APPROVAL.
THE WAY IT IS WRITTEN IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO END UP SHOULD SOMETHING HAPPEN WE ARE GOING TO END UP THAT'S WHY DIDN'T LIKE THE PREVIOUS AGREEMENT ANYTIME THERE IS A GRAY AREA THAT GIVES US ONE THING AND ANOTHER AND SOMEONE TO DO THAT IF YOU KNEW A HURRICANE WAS COMING SOMEHOW YOU WOULD STOCK UP ON CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL WHEN THE HURRICANE BLEW THROUGH TEXAS YOU WOULD CONTINUE TO TEXAS AS NORMAL AND NOT BE DELAYED BY THE HURRICANE. TO ME TAKING IT OUT OF THE AND IT'S ALREADY HARD TO DESCRIBE EVENT.
>> YOU GUYS HIT A NOTICE AND YOU NEED US TO DIRECT STAFF THE NOTICE BE PLACED IN THE NEWSPAPER REGARDING THIS AND THE TAX ABATEMENT AND THEN CHANGES THE TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENT.
>> CORRECT. >> ALSO THERE IS A NOTICE TO THE TAXING ENTITY UNDER STATE LAW AND STAFF WILL BE DOING THAT.
IN ADDITION TO THESE NOTICES I'VE SPOKEN WITH MATT AND ON THE WEBSITE WHERE WE HAVE PUBLIC NOTICES THEY ARE GOING TO ADD NOTICE OF TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENT AND PUT THE NOTICE IN THEIR TO THE PUBLIC AND LOOK AT THE NOTICE ON THE WEBSITE AND ALSO THE TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENT IF YOU CHOOSE TO APPROVE TONIGHT THAT WILL BE A CLICK AND THEY CAN LOOK AT THAT ON THE WEBSITE.
THIS IS THE FIRST ONE THAT WE CREATED IN THE STAFF FEELS LIKE THEY WANT TO HAVE THE TRANSPARENCY FOR THE PUBLIC.
>> I LIKE IT IT'S NICE TO TELL THE PUBLIC THAT IS GOING TO CHANGE THE CITY AND THE TAX BENEFITS ONLY GIVEN 50% IN THE TAX BENEFITS ARE GOING TO BE ENORMOUS IT'S A LOT BETTER THAN DOING A GREAT DEAL AND NOT TELLING ANYBODY ABOUT IT DOES ANYBODY WANT TO TAKE A STAB NOTICE OF NEWSPAPER AND CHANGES TO THE TAX ABATEMENT HAS BEEN PRESENTED OR ACCEPTED IN THE
TAXING ENTITIES. >> I WILL MAKE THAT MOTION.

CONSIDERATION ITEM 12.1, 12.2, 12.23.12.4, 12.5, 12.6, 12.7, 12.8, 12.9.
ANYBODY WANT ANY PULLED. >> MAYOR I APPROVE ALL ITEMS AS
PRESENTED. >> I WILL SECOND KNOCK.
>> MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM GORDON SECOND MY COUNSEL MEMBER THOMPSON. SINCE WE ARE NOT BEING PRESENTED WITH FINANCIAL STUFF I WILL BRING UP A COUPLE THINGS AS I ALWAYS LIKE TO SLOW US DOWN AND DO.
PARKS INTERACT I HAVE A QUESTION IF YOU CAN LET THE COUNCIL NO THERE IS A CHANGE WITH MONEY COMING OUT OF MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT GOING TO PARKS IMPROVEMENT AND STRUCTURES I WONDER WHAT MACHINES WERE NOT BUYING AND WHAT STRUCTURES WERE GOING TO BUILD NOW. THE REASON THAT, I WILL LAST BUDGET IT SEEMS LIKE THE LAST THREE YEARS THERE'S ALWAYS EQUIPMENT FEDERAL TO BE BOUGHT NOT BY THE PARKS IN GENERAL, SCHEDULED TO BE BOUGHT AND NOT PURCHASED AND SOMETHING ELSE IS PURCHASED INSTEAD SO I KNOW THE BUDGET IS WOULD BE MORE DETAILED BUT JUST WE KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON THERE.
TO THE PUBLIC NOTICE ARE UNRESTRICTED FUND BALANCE WE ARGUE HOW MUCH MONEY WE HAVE IS A CITY.
WE SAY THE UNRESTRICTED FUND BALANCE IS 14.9 MILLION AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR LESS THAN 4.820 MILLION% RESERVES, LESS THE $6 MILLION LOAN TO THE EDC WHICH LEFT 4.1 MILLION IN OUR BEST ESTIMATE ON THE ISSUE THE WAY IT IS GOING WE WILL SEE ADDITIONAL 4 MILLION IN ADDITIONAL MONEY ADDED TO THE RESERVE BASED ON REVENUES EXCEEDING EXPENDITURES WE SHOULD PROVIDE 8.1 MILLION ENDING AND RESERVE BALANCE.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS EXCITING WE ARE STILL MAKING MONEY.
WATER IMPACT FEES ETHICALLY HAVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE BUDGET SOMETHING ABATED, EARLIER TO MILLION WATER IMPACT COLLECTED BY .4 AND WERE HALFWAY THROUGH THE YEAR AND WERE PRETTY MUCH AT THE WASTEWATER IMPACT THE BUDGET OF 3 MILLION IN ROUTE 2.7.
THAT SHOULD HELP WITH $250 MILLION IN PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE COMING. I NOTICED A HOTEL TAX FUND WE BUDGETED $200,000 AND WE'VE ALREADY TAKEN 160,000.
THAT'LL BE IMPORTANT TO KNOW BECAUSE EDC HAD BEEN ASKED TO MAKE A PAYMENT TO THE CITY FOR SERVICES RENDERED IN THE EDC VOTED TO INCENTIVIZE THE THIRD HOTEL AND USE THE MONEY THAT WE WERE TO PAY THE CITY FOR SERVICES AS AN INCENTIVE SO THAT COULD BECOME TO THE COUNCIL FOR THE NEXT MEETING.
ALMOST ON 79.76% OF OUR BUDGET ON SALES TAX.
WE HAVE FORMANTS TO GO LOOKS LIKE WE ARE GOING TO CRUSH IT POTENTIALLY BE CLOSE TO 10 MILLION, MARCH WAS UP 25.8% YEAR-OVER-YEAR. WE USED TO SAY IT WAS ALL INFLATION BASED BUT ISAAC WITH INFLATION DROPPING 26% UP IN MIGHTY ACCOMMODATION OF INFLATION AND PEOPLE MOVING HERE IN A BUNCH MORE RETAIL. I THINK THAT'S IT HIGHLIGHT FOR FINANCIALS THAT SHOULD BE GREAT FOR THE BUDGET YEAR.

IS ANY DISCUSSION WE WANT TO
HAVE ON THAT? >> GOOD EVENING COUNCIL ASSISTANT VECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
I WANTED TO LET YOU ALL KNOW THERE IS STILL AN OPTION ON THE TABLE. I KNOW YOU DID NOT APPROVE THE AGREEMENT, THE EDC DID NOT APPROVE THE AGREEMENT OR RATIFY THAT AT THEIR MEETING ON MONDAY HOWEVER, THEY DID APPROVE AN AGREEMENT ON MAY 8 WHICH YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO APPROVE IF YOU SO CHOOSE PRETTY COUPLE OF UPDATES JUST TO BE AWARE OF REGARDING THAT THEY DIFFER FROM THE AGREEMENT THAT YOU APPROVED ON THE FIRST. THOSE CHANGES INCLUDE, THE FINISH IS A MATERIAL IN SECTION K ON THE FIRST IS INCLUDED IN THE AGREEMENT AS WELL. HOWEVER, THE CHANGES REQUESTED BY CITY COUNCIL BETWEEN THE MATES APPROVAL FROM THE EDC AND SIX/ONE APPROVAL FROM COUNCIL WOULD NOT BE INCLUDED IN THOSE CHANGES INVOLVE THE RESTRICTED USES OF NAIL SALON IN GENERAL DENTISTRY. ADDITIONALLY THERE WOULD NOT BE INCLUDED THE RESTRICTION OF THAT YOU APPROVED ON THE FIRST.
AS CALCULATED WE PROJECT THE PROJECT WOULD ONLY PRODUCE 1.2 APPROVED ON THE FIRST. HOWEVER, THE AGREEMENT APPROVED ON THE EIGHTH BY THE EDC ALLOWS FOR MAXIMUM OF 1.5 FOR THE 10 YEAR TERM. THOSE OF THE CHANGES AND UPDATES YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF PRIOR TO VOTING.
>> THANK YOU. >> MAYOR AND COUNCIL I DON'T
[02:00:05]
THINK THIS ITEM HOSTED SPECIFICALLY TO GO BACK AND CONSIDER THE MAY 8 AGREEMENT. WHAT WE POSTED WAS TO TALK ABOUT THE ESLO AGREEMENT IN EXECUTIVE SESSION AND IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY MORE SPECIFICS THAN THAT. IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK AND VOTE ON THE MAY 8 AGREEMENT YOU WOULD NEED TO PUT ON THE NEXT AGENDA.>> OKAY. >> I WANT TO DISCUSS WITH THE COUNCIL. I'M NOT AGAINST HELPING SOMEBODY OUT. BUT I THINK IF WE TAKE A MOTION TO DECIDE AND I WAS TALKING ABOUT COUNCIL MEMBER CLARK WITH US ABOUT ON MONDAY. WE GET SPECIFICS IN THEIR LIVE EXHIBITS IN TERMS OF WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE LIKE YOU WOULD SEE IN A POD SINCE THAT'S WHAT WE ARE PAYING FOR IF WE ARE PAYING FOR A LOOK THEN OUTLOOK SHOULD BE PART OF THE AGREEMENT AND THE WAYS YOU CAN GUARANTEE THAT YOU GET TO LOOK PRETTY FOR PUT THINGS LIKE THAT IN I THINK THAT CHANGES A LOT OF THINGS BECAUSE THE VAGUENESS IS GONE AND THERE ARE SOME OTHER CHANGES. GEORGE SAID SCRIBNER'S HEIRS I DON'T KNOW IF I AGREE WITH THAT NECESSARILY THAT HE IS THE ATTORNEY PRETTY THINK IF WE DO THAT THE PROTECTION FOR THE CITY. I THINK WHAT WE DON'T WANT WE CAN ALL AGREE WE DON'T WANT TO LOOK BACK IN THREE YEARS THIS DOES NOT EXPIRE IT IS EFFECTIVE UPON A WHOLE BUNCH OF STUFF HAPPENING, THERE IS AN AGREEMENT OUT THERE AND I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE WE DO WANT PEOPLE SAY WHEN IS IT COMING TO WANT TO TRIGGER THE QUEEN MADE EVERYBODY ELSE HAVE AND THAT'S ALL HE ASKED YOU GUYS BRING IT BACK TO PLEASE PUT IN THE SAME THING OF THE DATA CENTER THEY DESCRIBE THE DEFINITION OF DATA CENTER IS IN AN AGREEMENT IN THE DEFINITION OF RESTAURANT IS NOT.
WERE TREATING THE 20 MILLION GUY ONE WAY AND WE SHOULD BECAUSE THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY AND WE SHOULD TREAT EVERYBODY THE EXACT SAME WAY BECAUSE WERE ALL WORKING FOR THE SAME PERSON.
IF WE DO THAT I WOULD PROBABLY STILL VOTE NO BECAUSE IF IT'S BEYOND THAT MUCH MONEY I DON'T LIKE GIVING MORE THAN 50%.
BUT I WOULD NOT HAVE A LOT OF ARGUMENT ANYTHING OTHER THAN A FINANCIAL BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT GETTING SUED OR ALL THE OTHER BAD THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN.
IT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT MONDAY.
THAT'S WHAT I'VE ALWAYS BEEN ON THIS SINCE IT'S THE FIRST DAY IT'S BEEN FINANCIALS AND DETAILS THAT SALLY ASKED FUTURE AGREEMENTS AND I HOPE THE JOINT MEETING WILL COME TO RESOLUTION THAT WE WANT DETAILS BECAUSE THERE IS A PHRASE STRONG CONTRACTS MAKE STRONG FRIENDS. NOBODY HAS HURT FEELINGS IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU MEET THE CRITERIA AND IF YOU DO THE SEAMS THAT WE DID NOT QUITE THERE. I ACTUALLY HAD ASKED DOTTIE TO HAVE THIS ON HERE BEFORE MONDAY EDC.
>> MY OBJECTION TO THE AGREEMENT THAT THE EDC PAST I WAS NOT IN FAVOR OF GIVING 100% AWAY OF THE SALES TAX FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS OF THE AGREEMENT DID. THAT WAS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN THE AGREEMENT THAT WAS PASSED BY COUNCIL.
TERMS CHANGE ANOTHER THINGS CHANGED BECAUSE THE ALLOCATION OF THE SALES TAX AS DESCRIBED IN EDC DOES NOT MATCH REALITY BECAUSE IT DOESN'T GET SALES TAX.
I DON'T THINK THAT AGREEMENT CAN BE REVIVED WHEN TICKETS GET A CHANGE OF MATERIAL WAYS NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS I SAKE MOVE FORWARD AND TRY TO FIND A PATH TO SOMETHING THAT IS AGREEABLE
TO THE EDC IN CITY COUNCIL. >> I HEAR WHAT BOTH OF YOU ARE SAYING. MY ONE THOUGHT, I AGREE THERE.
I AGREE I THINK WE AND I BELIEVE COUNCIL HAD MADE UP A MUCH BETTER AGREEMENT THAT WE SENT BACK TO THE EDC AND I WOULD NOT WANT TO PASS THIS TO PROVABLY BUT I THINK SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE SOUGHT AS A COUNCIL WHEN YOU HAVE A BOARD THEY BROUGHT AN AGREEMENT TO US IN THE WAY HIS POLITICAL CAPITAL AND SAID THESE ADDITIONAL THINGS WE DON'T WANT TO NAIL SALON AND WE REDUCE THE AMOUNT WE DID ALL THESE THINGS AND SIGNED IT AS A COUNCIL, THE DEVELOPER SIGNED IT WE SENT BACK THE EDC A BETTER DEAL IN THAT BOARD DID NOT APPROVE IT.
THAT IS A PROBLEM I THINK THAT IS A PROBLEM.
IT CAME FROM THE EDC AND THE PRESIDENT AND THE FUTURE I'M NOT SAYING WE DO IT FOR THIS ONE BECAUSE I WOULD NOT APPROVE AN
[02:05:01]
OLDER ONE AS DOTTIE SAID THIS AGREEMENT IS NOT ON THE AGENDA VERNACULAR TAKE ACTION BUT MY POINT THE PRESIDENT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT TIME IF THERE'S ANOTHER AGREEMENT THAT THE EDC BRINGS THAT COMES HERE AND WE AS A BODY ELECTED PEOPLE THE ANSWER TO THE VOTERS WE GET A BETTER DEAL AND THEN WE SIGN IT AND SEND IT BACK TO THE EDC AGAIN THERE SHOULD BE EXPECTATION THAT THE BOARD WILLPASS IT. >> I THINK THE PEOPLE IN THE MEETING WERE DIFFERENT. WERE THE SAME BOARD MEMBERS THERE FOR BOTH MEETINGS. YOU ASKED A QUESTION LET ME ANSWER. IF YOU LOOKED AT THE WHOLE HISTORY FOR BOARD MEMBERS PASSED IN FEBRUARY AT A 4 MILLION-DOLLAR EVALUATION THE MAYOR AND I WERE NOT THERE WE DID NOT VOTE ON THE FIRST AGREEMENT COUNCIL REFUSED TO TAKE IT WE WENT BACK TO THE EDC THEY WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER AND CAME OUT WITH A BETTER DEAL THAT PASSED MAY 8, 2 BOARD MEMBERS
WERE NOT THERE. >> WHAT WAS THE VOTE ON THAT
ONE. >> THREE - 2 IN THE TWO BOARDMEMBER'S THAT PASS THE HIGHER ONE IN FEBRUARY WEREN'T THERE SO TO SAY THAT IT WOULDN'T OF PAST 5 - 2, THEY WERE THERE, THEY WERE THERE AT 4 MILLION THEN 3 MILLION COUNCIL CAME ABACK AND GOT IT TO 27 AND SEND IT BACK THAT'S REGARDLESS OF HOW IT IS AND PEOPLE THINK I'M FIGHTING IT.
I'M NOT I'M JUST SAYING THAT'S A HUGE AGON DEVELOPMENT IS ABOUT EXAMPLE OF HOW WE SHOULD DO AND BE AS A PROCESS OF THE EDC IN THE CITY AND TRYING TO GET DEVELOPERS AND DEALS WHETHER IT'S THE STEEL OR WHATEVER HAPPEN BUT THAT IS A PROBLEM I'M HOPING THAT SOMETHING WE ADDRESS WE HAVE A JOINT MEETING IN JULY.
>> THAT'S A BIG PART OF THE REASON WHY I REQUESTED SO WE CAN GET CLOSER TO BEING ON THE SAME PAGE WHEN YOU HAVE DIFFERENT PEOPLE YOU GET DIFFERENT ARGUMENTS AND PEOPLE CHANGE THEIR MINDS WHEN YOU HAVE A DEAL THAT HAS TO GO THROUGH MULTIPLE ITERATIONS OVER TIME. ANY BOARDMEMBER IN ANY ELECTED OFFICIAL CAN CHOOSE TO CHANGE THEIR MIND BASED ON CONTINUING TO LOOK AT THE FACTS THAT'S WAS HAPPENS THESE THINGS CAN CHANGE AND WHAT A BEAUTY POSITION OF TELLING THE BOARD IF YOU VOTED FOR ONCE YOU BETTER VOTE FOR IT WILL MODIFY AND SEND BACK THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT WORKS THEY HAVE TO GO EACH TIME THEY GET IT RONT OF THEM AND EVERYTHING THAT THEY KNOW AT THAT TIME AND THAT IS WHAT THEY DID.
THAT'S THE WAY IT IS. >> SOMETHING TELLS ME THE VOTE WOULD'VE BEEN DIFFERENT WHEN IT WAS 4 - 0 I ASKED THEM IF THEY READ THE AGREEMENT AND THEY SAID NO.
WE'VE GOT TO READ THE AGREEMENTS AND YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE VOTING ON BECAUSE THE DEFENSE IN COURT THAT I DIDN'T READ IT OR UNDERSTAND IT. AS PART OF HER PROBLEM AS PEOPLE STARTED READING IT THEY STARTED TO NEVER QUESTION, HERE AND THERE AND THE QUESTION STARTED TO CON UP.
THIS AGREEMENT OTHER AGREEMENTS WITH THE MAKE SURE WE READ AND UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING AND WE HAVE TO ASK YOURSELVES WHAT IS IT THAT WERE TRYING TO DO IS IT WORTH THE MONEY BEING SPENT ON WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO USING THAT MONEY ON OTHER THINGS AND WERE NOT MISSING ANYTHING RIGHT NOW.
WERE NOT OUT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WE ARE GOING TO GET WE DID NOT LOSE TARGET OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
I SAID MONDAY NIGHT THIS WILL BE THE THIRD AGREEMENT AND AROUND AND WE GAVE EVERYTHING BACK AND AT SOME POINT FORGET TO DIVERSIFY AND SPREAD THE TAX BURDEN OUT SOMETHING WE DO HAS GOTTA MAKE MONEY OTHERWISE IN FIVE YEARS THE NEW COUNCIL WILL BE CRITICIZING US FOR MAKING BAD DEALS THAT DON'T PAY MONEY BECAUSE JAMES MAY BE STRAPPED AND I ASKED JAMES ON THE DEALS WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF OUR TAXES WE DON'T KNOW YET BECAUSE SOME DEALS ARE SO BIG AND SO CHANGING THAT NO CITY IN TEXAS HAS HAD A 5 BILLION EVALUATION AND IN THREE YEARS DOUBLED WITH ONE GUY. NO CITY HAS HAD A DEAL WITH 2 MILLION YOU GIVE AWAY ALL UNCHARTED I SAY WE BE CAREFUL EMBEDDED OUT BECAUSE ONCE YOU SIGN IT AND IT'S GOOD AND YOU TOLD US ABOUT A DEAL WHERE IT DID NOT GO THE WAY EVERYBODY THOUGHT IT WAS. YOU DON'T WANT TO BE THE GROUP WILL DRUG IS OUTSIDE AND BEAT US BECAUSE WE PROMISED GREAT
[02:10:01]
INCENTIVES AND GREAT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO COME BACK THEY WILL COME BACK NEXT WEEK BUT IF THERE'S MONEY TO BE MADE PEOPLE WILL COME BACK AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS COUNCIL NOT TAKEN OF THE DRIVE THROUGH BECAUSE I THINK THAT SHOWS THERE'S THINGS WERE LOOKING FOR IN THE MAYOR PRO TEM BROUGHT IT UP SO WE CAN VOTE FOR.
ANYWAY I CAN GET AS OF 1115, I'M TRYING.
ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS ONE. >> I HOPE STAFF CONTINUES TO WORK ON IT AND BRINGS IT BACK I THINK IT'S WORTHY OF DOING AND WHATEVER WE NEED TO DO TO GET TO A MEETING OF THE MINDS BETWEEN US AND EDC AND WERE COMFORTABLE AND NEED TO MOVE FORWARD AND IF WE MODIFY IT WE MODIFY AND CONTINUES WORK, THAT'S WHAT I

[02:15:09]
