THANK YOU. MAYOR. THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS SUBCOMMITTEE MET.

EXCUSE ME? BOARDS AND THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS SUBCOMMITTEE MET LAST NIGHT.

WE'RE TRYING TO DO IT ON WEDNESDAYS, BUT NOT A ONE DAY IN ADVANCE, SO WE'LL TRY TO DO IT. SO WE HAVE AT LEAST AN EIGHT DAY ADVANCE. I'VE BEEN POSTING ON THE COUNCIL MESSAGE BOARD WITH SOME OF OUR RESULTS WITH KEEPING SOME KEEPING ANONYMITY.

[00:15:07]

BUT I'D LIKE TO PROPOSE THE EITHER THREE MOTIONS FOR THREE APPOINTEES OR ONE MOTION WITH ALL THREE. HOW BEST WITH ONE? ONE MOTION? OKAY, SO I WANT TO APPOINT BRANDY MCCOOL FOR ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS, DEBBIE HOLLAND FOR ETHICS REVIEW COMMISSION.

AND, PETER, YOU MAY HAVE TO HELP ME, BUT KURT FAGER FOR BUILDING AND STANDARDS.

PRETTY CLOSE. OKAY. SCHWERDTFEGER.

SCHWERDTFEGER. HE'S BEEN ON PLANNING AND ZONING FOR FOR MANY YEARS.

AND THIS IS A REAPPOINTMENT.

AND HIS IS A REAPPOINTMENT. THANK YOU FOR THAT.

AND WHAT WAS BRANDON MCCALL? ZBA ZBA. I DO HAVE A SECOND.

SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION? I WOULD JUST LIKE TO OFFER A CLARIFICATION THAT WE WE ARE ASSIGNING SEAT NUMBERS TO THESE INDIVIDUALS SO THAT THEY KNOW WHEN THEIR, THEIR SEATS EXPIRE.

AND SO I LOOKED IT UP.

THERE IS ONLY ONE OPENING OR NOT.

THERE'S THREE OPENINGS ON A ZBA, BUT THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME EXPIRATION DATE, SO I RECOMMEND THAT SHE GETS PUT ON SEAT ONE.

ETHICS. THERE'S ONLY ONE OPENING, SO SHE WOULD FALL INTO SEAT SIX, AND THEN KURT WOULD REMAIN IN HIS CURRENT SEAT, WHICH WOULD BE SEAT ONE. JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, FOR THE CITY SECRETARY. SO SHE KNOWS WHERE TO ASSIGN THEM.

I CONSIDER THAT A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT.

YES. OKAY. ABSOLUTELY.

AND WE HAD DISCUSSED THIS PREVIOUSLY.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE. PLEASE CALL THE VOTE. COUNCIL MEMBER.

MAYOR. I DID HAVE ONE OR MAYBE TWO POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TOURS BOARDS.

SO FOR TOURS BOARD NUMBER TWO, SEAT ONE IS CURRENTLY HELD BY AMBER MITCHELL.

SHE HAS BEEN SERVING IN A HOLDOVER CAPACITY.

HER TERM EXPIRED IN JUNE.

I WAS ABLE TO CONTACT HER, REACH OUT TO HER, AND SHE IS INTERESTED IN REAPPOINTMENT.

AND SO IF WE'RE WILLING TO TO REAPPOINT HER, SHE'S INTERESTED.

AND THEN WE ALSO HAD RECEIVED IN THE LAST MONTH AN APPLICATION FOR TOURS, BOARD NUMBER TWO FROM LATONYA SNEED.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY CURRENT OPENINGS ON TOURS NUMBER ONE, BUT I DID REACH OUT TO HER AND ASK HER IF SHE'S INTERESTED IN A DIFFERENT TOURS, BECAUSE TOURS THREE HAS ONE OPENING.

AND SHE SAID THAT THAT SHE WOULD BE FINE WITH THAT.

I DID TALK TO HER BRIEFLY AND SHE UNDERSTANDS WHAT TOURS ARE, AND SHE JUST WANTS TO GET INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY. SHE DOES MEET THE REQUIREMENTS.

AND SO I GUESS I'LL JUST MAKE A MOTION.

SO MAKE A MOTION TO APPOINT REAPPOINT AMBER MITCHELL TO SEAT ONE ON TOURS BOARD NUMBER TWO. AND THEN TANYA SNEED WOULD BE A NEW APPOINTMENT.

AND THAT WOULD BE TO SEAT FIVE ON TOURS BOARD NUMBER THREE.

HAVE A SECOND, SECOND MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER GORDON, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MORRIS. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? HEARING NONE. PLEASE CALL THE VOTE MAYOR SNYDER.

[8.2. Consideration and possible action regarding recommendations or updates from City Council sub-committees (i.e. HISD, CIP, UDC, Public Safety, Co-Op).]

UPDATES FROM CITY COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEES.

ISD HAD MET THE CIPS OVER THE UDC.

I CAN'T REMEMBER, DID WE MEET WITH STAFF BEFORE OR AFTER LAST MEETING? WE DID NOT. YEAH. WHEN DID WE MEET WITH STAFF? WAS AFTER LAST MEETING. I THINK IT WAS.

YEAH, IT WAS AFTER LAST MEETING. AFTER. AFTER LAST? YEAH. WE GAVE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY MANAGER, THE CITY ENGINEER AND OUR DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

THEY'RE REVIEWING THEM, AND I THINK WE'LL HAVE AN ITEM COMING UP.

WHEN WOULD YOU SAY, JAMES? MAYBE IN OCTOBER.

MAYBE. PROBABLY AT LEAST FOR DISCUSSION.

YEAH. AND THEN WE'LL WANT TO.

WE'VE KIND OF GIVEN EVERYBODY PHILOSOPHY THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS OF WHAT WE'RE KIND OF LOOKING AT. AND THEN STAFF'S COMING BACK WITH SOME RECOMMENDATIONS, AND IT SEEMED LIKE SOME OF THE INITIAL THINGS STAFF DOESN'T THINK WE'RE TOO FAR OFF THAT THERE ARE THERE ARE THINGS THEY'D LIKE TO SEE CHANGE, TOO. SO I THINK THAT MEETING WENT WELL.

IT WAS WE HAD A GOOD CONVERSATION, AND THERE WAS A LOT IF I'M BEING HONEST,

[00:20:03]

A LOT MORE INGREDIENTS THAN I THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE, WHICH WAS I WAS GLAD THE STAFF WAS GLAD TO HEAR OUR SUGGESTIONS, AND WE WERE GLAD TO HEAR THAT THEY THEY LIKED THEM. SO, YEAH. PUBLIC SAFETY.

WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN BACK YET.

THE INFORMATION FOR THE NEXT MEETING THERE AND THE CO-OP WE MET BUT HAVEN'T HEARD BACK.

I'VE NOT SEEN ANYTHING SINCE.

ALL I SAW WAS AN EMAIL THAT ASKED KIND OF CONFIRMING OUR DISCUSSION.

SO I'M SURE THAT'LL BE COMING UP HERE SOON.

ALL RIGHT. WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NINE ONE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE UPDATE.

[9.1. Hutto Chamber of Commerce Update Presentation (Joe Gonzalez)]

THE CHAIRMAN, JOE GONZALEZ.

GOOD EVENING. WELL, WE'RE GOING PRETTY QUICK TODAY.

GOOD EVENING COUNCIL. GOOD EVENING MAYOR, COUNCIL AND STAFF.

I WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALLOWING ME TO COME UP HERE AND GIVE YOU THE QUARTERLY UPDATE FOR THE LAST QUARTER.

I'D LIKE TO BEGIN THIS EVENING BY REMINDING EVERYBODY ABOUT OUR OLD TIMES DAY, WHICH WILL BE ON OCTOBER THE 11TH, 2025.

WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING EVERYONE THERE. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE GOING TO BE PRESENT AND WANT TO SUPPORT US, I'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE TIDBIT.

THE HUTU COMMUNITY FOUNDATION WILL HAVE AND HOST A DUNKING BOOTH.

AND YOURS TRULY, THE MAYOR HERE, MR. MIKE SNYDER, WILL BE PARTICIPATING IN THAT DUNKING BOOTH.

SO THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN DUNKING THE MAYOR, PLEASE VISIT OUR BOOTH.

IT WOULD BE ALL FOR A GREAT CAUSE.

IT'S EXPENSIVE. RIGHT? IT'S LIKE $100 PER CHANCE OR SOMETHING.

NO, WE'RE NOT DOING A DOLLAR.

WE ARE. WE'RE WE'RE OUT HERE TO RAISE MONEY, RIGHT? IT'S THERE TO RAISE MONEY. OKAY.

JUST CHECKING. AND THAT'S WHY WE CHOSE YOU TO BUILD THAT POLICE STATION WHEN WE'RE DONE.

THERE WE GO. YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO BE REASONABLE.

WE'RE GOING TO BE REASONABLE. BUT WE'D LOVE TO SEE ALL OF YOU THERE, AND WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. SO WE THANK THE CITY OF HUTTO FOR SUPPORTING US ON ON THE ACTUAL OLD TIME DAY. I'D LIKE TO BEGIN BY, AS I ALWAYS DO TO GOING OVER OUR MEMBERSHIP GROWTH. I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS TODAY.

I MEAN, COMING UP HERE FOR ROUGHLY ALMOST TWO YEARS, AND I WAS TRYING TO RECALL WHEN I CAME UP HERE THE FIRST TIME WHERE WE WERE WITH THE MEMBERSHIP, AND I STARTED THINKING ABOUT IT, AND I RECALLED THAT WE WERE UNDER 300.

I BELIEVE WE WERE SOMEWHERE IN THE TWO EIGHT AND 285.

SO ROUGHLY IN A TWO YEAR TIME PERIOD, WE HAVE SEEN THE CITY GROW ALONG WITH THE CHAMBER. AND SO TO DATE, I CAN SAY THAT WE HAVE BROKEN THE 400 MEMBER THRESHOLD. WE ARE AT NOW AT 440 MEMBERS WITH 30 MEMBERS, NEW MEMBERS SINCE THE LAST UPDATE.

THIS IS ATTRIBUTED TO THE CONTINUAL GROWTH IN THE COMMUNITY AND REFLECTS THE COMMUNITY AND THE INCREASING ENGAGEMENT AND INTEREST OF ALL LOCAL INTERESTS.

SO WE'VE ACTUALLY COME A LONG WAYS ALONG WITH THE CITY.

WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP PACE WITH THE CITY AND TRYING TO SUPPORT THE CITY WITH EVERYTHING THAT WE DO. SO WE WANT TO DEFINITELY THANK YOU AND THANK THE MEMBERS AND EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTS US AS WELL. ANOTHER THING THAT WE'RE DOING OVER AT THE CHAMBER IS WE'RE WORKING ON A STRATEGIC PLAN FOR 2026.

WE WILL BE GOING OVER THE STRATEGIC PLAN IN OUR BOARD, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RETREAT IN DECEMBER.

WE HOPE TO HAVE THE PLANS SOLIDIFIED BY THEN AND TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING GOING FORWARD IN 26, 27 AND 28.

THE PURPOSE OF THE PLAN IS TO ENGAGE IN A LONG TERM VISION AND A VISION THAT WILL ENSURE AN ALIGNMENT WITH THE CITY AND THE CITY AND THEIR PRIORITIES.

SO WE DEFINITELY ARE GOING TO CREATE THIS PLAN WITH THE CITY IN MIND, AND TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO AS A PARTNERSHIP MOVING FORWARD AND WORK WITH YOU WHERE WE CAN. SO I HOPE TO HAVE THAT LIKE I SAID, FINISHED BY THE END OF 2025 AND BRINGS THE RESULTS TO YOU GUYS ON THE NEXT QUARTERLY UPDATE.

I AM GOING TO MOVE ON TO UPCOMING INITIATIVES AND PROGRAMS. YES, LEAD. THE PROGRAM IS BACK.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT A 2026 DATE OF JANUARY THE 8TH.

OUR APPLICATIONS ARE NOW LIVE.

AS EVERYBODY KNOWS. IT'S IT IS A IT'S DESIGNED TO DEVELOP THE NEXT GENERATION OF LOCAL LEADERS WITH A FOCUS ON LEADERSHIP SKILLS, COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND REGIONAL COLLABORATION.

SO FOR THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED, PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE REGISTER.

LET ME SEE SOME CITY PARTICIPANTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS AS WELL.

LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU GUYS THERE.

ANOTHER INITIATIVE THAT WE'RE WORKING ON AS WELL IS A NEW SERIES WE ARE CALLING THIS NEW SERIES RISE AND SHINE.

THE FOCUS OF THIS SERIES IS SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT.

IT IS WITH A GOAL INTENT TO SUPPORT AND EMPOWER SMALL BUSINESSES,

[00:25:05]

SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS THROUGH FOCUSED WORKSHOPS, NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES AND EXPERT INSIGHTS.

THE INITIATIVE WILL HOPEFULLY TAKE PLACE BY THE FALL OF 2025 AND WILL GO INTO 2026.

WHEN WE DO HAVE EVERYTHING TOGETHER IN THE SCHEDULE TOGETHER, WE'RE LOOKING AT A TIME SLOT OF 8:30 A.M.

TO 10 A.M. ALL THE DETAILS ARE BEING PREPARED AS WE SPEAK, AND I HOPE TO HAVE SOME INFORMATION FOR YOU GUYS WITHIN THE NEXT QUARTER.

ANOTHER THING THAT WE'RE WORKING ON IS SOMETHING FAIRLY NEW AS WELL AS MEMBER SURVEYS. SO BE LOOKING OUT FOR SOME SURVEYS IN YOUR EMAIL BOXES.

THE PURPOSE OF OUR SURVEYS ARE TO GATHER FEEDBACK AND IDENTIFY KEY ISSUES IMPACTING LOCAL BUSINESSES. THE FOCUS WILL BE TO PINPOINT GAPS IN RESOURCES, CHALLENGES THEY FACE, LOCAL ENTREPRENEURS, AND ENSURING OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH.

OUR NEXT STEP IS TO HOPEFULLY GET THIS OUT, GATHER THE INFORMATION, ANALYZE IT, AND PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE FOR OUR MEMBERS, THE CITY, AND OUR COMMUNITY.

SO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THAT IN YOUR INBOXES.

PLEASE PARTICIPATE. PAY YOUR INPUT IS DEFINITELY VERY VALUABLE TO US IN THE NEXT.

WE ARE STARTING OUR NEW YEAR NEXT MONTH IN THE IN THE MONTH OF OCTOBER, SO WE'LL BE GOING INTO 25, 2025 AND 2026.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING THAT IS NEW WITHIN OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS WE ARE GOING TO CREATE AN ADVOCACY COMMITTEE.

SO WE'RE IN THE PRELIMINARY PROCESS OF DOING THAT.

THE OBJECTIVE WOULD BE TO ADDRESS AND UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF LOCAL AND STATE LEGISLATION ON THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE CONTEMPLATED IN THE PAST.

WE HADN'T REALLY DONE IT.

THIS LAST SESSION, I WAS ABLE TO TAKE PART IN A COMMITTEE OF THAT NATURE, AND I FOUND IT TO BE VERY VALUABLE.

IT WAS A LITTLE TIME CONSUMING, BUT THERE WERE A LOT OF ISSUES THAT AFFECTED A LOT OF THE SMALLER CITIES SURROUNDING THE AUSTIN, TEXAS AREA. AND WHAT I EXPERIENCED IS THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO GAVE US A LOT OF INFORMATION, A LOT OF FEEDBACK, A LOT OF INQUIRY, AND PEOPLE THAT WERE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING.

SO WE JUST THOUGHT, SINCE WE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND US TODAY AND TAYLOR HUDDLE ROUND ROCK SURROUNDING CITIES, IS THAT THE HUDDLE CHAMBER SHOULD CREATE A COMMITTEE TO BETTER SERVE THEIR MEMBERS AND KEEP THEIR MEMBERS IN THE COMMUNITY MORE INFORMED OF WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND THEM.

SO BEING A LOOKOUT FOR THAT, IT'LL BE A COMMITTEE THAT WILL CONSIST OF BOARD MEMBERS AT THE CHAMBER.

I DO WANT TO KIND OF CAP IT OFF WITH AN EVENT THAT WE HAD RECENTLY.

I'D LIKE TO THANK EVERYBODY WHO IS THERE AND PRESENT.

THE EVENT WAS THE TEXAS KOREA BUSINESS AND NETWORKING EVENT.

IT WAS HELD ON SEPTEMBER 3RD, 2025.

I'D LIKE TO INFORM YOU THAT WE HAD A WHOPPING 190 ATTENDEES.

WOW. THAT WAS A YEAH, THAT'S THAT HAS BEEN OUR BIGGEST CROWD SINCE WE'VE TAKEN OFF WITH OUR EVENTS.

WE HAD A GREAT PANEL. WE HAD GREAT PRESENTERS.

IT WAS A GREAT COALITION OF BOTH THREE DIFFERENT CHAMBERS, THE ASIAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, AND THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, WHO ALL WORKED TOGETHER TO PUT THIS TOGETHER.

SO I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY WHO ATTENDED.

IT WAS FANTASTIC. THE FEEDBACK THAT I'VE GOTTEN FROM MANY OF THE PEOPLE WHO ATTENDED WAS THAT IT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS AND THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO AND OF COURSE, THEY WERE ABLE TO REALLY NETWORK AND MEET PEOPLE THEY DID NOT KNOW, BUT THEY WERE ALSO THERE TO LEARN ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON IN TEXAS AND THE COALITION WITH KOREA. SO IT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS.

AND ONCE AGAIN, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

WITH THAT SAID, I'M GOING TO OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS AND ANY CLARIFICATION THAT YOU MAY HAVE. THANKS, JEFF. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL.

JOE, I APPRECIATE IT. I KNOW TWO YEARS AGO WHEN WE FIRST TALKED ABOUT QUARTERLY UPDATES, I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU WERE JUMPING UP AND DOWN EXCITED FOR IT. I'M STILL HERE.

YEAH. AND I THINK IT'S GREAT.

AND I ALSO THINK IT'S GREAT TO HEAR HOW YOU GUYS ARE JUST AS A CITY'S GETTING KIND OF MORE ADVANCED AND MORE ROBUST WITH SOME OF THE THINGS WE'RE OFFERING. SO ARE YOU TWO YOU ALL ARE DOING THE SAME THING. AND I ALSO KNOW THAT NOT ALL I THINK I WANT TO BE.

CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. NOT ALL OF YOUR PROGRAMS ARE MEMBER ONLY PROGRAMS. THERE ARE SOME THINGS WHERE, WHETHER IT BE LIKE A I'M CALLING IT A HAPPY HOUR, BUT IT'S REALLY NOT A HAPPY HOUR. IT'S MORE LIKE A NETWORKING EVENT, BUT THAT'S OPEN FOR PRETTY MUCH ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO COME IN AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE WHAT THE CHAMBER'S HAVING TO OFFER. MEET SOME PEOPLE, LEARN SOME OF THE BENEFITS.

SO IT'S NOT ALWAYS YOU GUYS AREN'T ALWAYS WORKING FOR MEMBERS.

YOU'RE WORKING FOR THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY. IT'S JUST THE MEMBERS ARE THE ONE PAYING YOUR SALARY. IT'S SAFE TO SAY KIND OF YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

THE COMMUNITY, THE MEMBERS PAY THE CHAMBER SALARY,

[00:30:03]

BUT NOW WE HAVE IT OPEN TO EVERYONE.

WE'D LIKE TO, OF COURSE, HAVE MANY MEMBERS PARTICIPATE AS POSSIBLE, BUT WE'D LIKE, FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT MEMBERS, TO COME IN TO THE CITY OF IDAHO, ESPECIALLY COMING INTO THE CITY OF IDAHO. MANY OF THESE PEOPLE, WHEN YOU GO TO THESE NETWORKING EVENTS, YOU'LL SEE THAT A LOT OF THEM HAVE NEVER BEEN HERE BEFORE. FIRST TIMERS, THEY COME IN, THEY PARK SOMEWHERE, THEY COME INTO THE EVENT AND THEY'RE JUST LIKE, WOW, THIS IS A GREAT EVENT.

MOST OF OUR EVENTS WILL AVERAGE BETWEEN, I WOULD SAY, ABOUT 80 TO 100 PEOPLE.

OUR LUNCHEONS AVERAGE ROUGHLY 60 TO ABOUT 8090.

BUT WE OPENED IT UP. EVEN OUR LUNCHEON, WE OPENED IT UP TO NONMEMBERS AS WELL. WE WANT THEM TO LEARN ABOUT HOW TO WHAT'S GOING ON HERE, ESPECIALLY WHAT'S GOING ON NOW.

YOU KNOW, YOU CAN SEE THE GROWTH. IT'S EVIDENT IT'S HERE. AND SO WE'D LIKE TO OPEN IT UP AND WITH THE INTENT TO MAYBE ONE DAY THEY BECOME A MEMBER.

BUT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HOW TO AS A WHOLE.

SO ABSOLUTELY IF YOU HAVE ANYBODY WHO'S INTERESTED, HAVE THEM COME OUT TO OUR EVENTS. WE GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. THANKS.

LAST THING. OCTOBER 11TH IS OLD TIME DAYS AND CAN YOU GIVE US SOME KIND OF DETAILS OR SOME CHANGES THIS YEAR COMPARED TO PREVIOUS YEARS.

SOME ADJUSTMENTS. I DON'T KNOW ALL THE DETAILS.

OF COURSE WE'RE NOT HAVING IT. YOU KNOW, IN DOWNTOWN ON THE EAST.

WE'RE NOT HAVING IT THERE. THIS YEAR WE'RE GOING TO BE IN THE CO-OP. A FEW OF THE THINGS THAT ARE REALLY CHANGING. I MEAN, IT'S GOING TO BE MORE OF THE PARTICIPATION OF SOME OF THE OTHER NEW VENDORS, VENDORS WHO'VE NEVER BEEN HERE BEFORE, WHICH IS REALLY GOOD. OF COURSE, THE THE LAYOUT WILL BE A LOT DIFFERENT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE LAYOUT WILL BE IN THE CO-OP, BUT I THINK WITH WITH THE ROOM THAT IT HAS THERE IN THE SPACE, I THINK IT'LL BE PRETTY SUCCESSFUL.

THE MAYOR DROPPING INTO THE POND OUT HERE OR WHERE'S HE? I'M NOT QUITE SURE. WE'RE JUST GOING TO. OH, YOU GOT ME KIND OF SCARED HERE. PEOPLE ARE GETTING READY TO GET MORTGAGES. SECOND MORTGAGE ON OUR HOUSE. YEAH. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A LONG LINE, SO GET THERE EARLY AND YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING IT FOR THREE HOURS. SO AFTER THAT, IT'S OVER. IT'S FOR A GOOD CAUSE, GUYS, I'LL BE SURE TO BUY MY SHARE.

AFTER ALL THE WORK THAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING. APPRECIATE IT. GUYS. ANYTHING ELSE? ALL RIGHT. THANKS, JEFF. THANK YOU.

SEE YOU NEXT TIME, GUYS. NEXT WE HAVE THE CONSENT AGENDA.

[10. CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS]

WE HAVE ITEMS TEN ONE THROUGH.

1066 66 UP FOR CONSIDERATION.

I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE.

UNLESS THERE'S SOMETHING SOMEONE WANTS PULLED. I WANTED TO PULL 1057, IF I COULD. 1057. ALL RIGHT.

I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE BALANCE OF THE CONSENT AGENDA.

I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION. SECOND MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER THOMPSON, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN THORNTON.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? I'LL JUST SAY.

I STRUGGLE WITH SOME OF THE ONES THAT ARE IN HERE.

BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO DRAG HER OUT TONIGHT BY PULLING EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM OUT.

I THINK THE CITY MANAGER IS PROBABLY NOT SHOCKED IF I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF THAT ONE.

I'M NOT REAL HAPPY ABOUT THE WATER RATE INCREASE THAT'S IN HERE.

AND SO ANYWAY. ALL RIGHT.

PLEASE CALL THE VOTE. COUNCIL MEMBER THOMPSON.

AYE. MAYOR PRO TEM THORNTON.

AYE. COUNCIL MEMBER. MORRIS.

AYE. MAYOR. SNIDER. NAY.

COUNCIL MEMBER. GORDON. AYE.

COUNCIL MEMBER. PORTERFIELD. AYE.

COUNCIL MEMBER. KING. AYE.

MOTION PASSES. FIVE TWO.

NEXT WE HAVE ITEM 1057.

[10.57. Consideration and possible action to approve Ordinance No. O-2025-037 of the City of Hutto, Texas approving and adopting a five-year Capital Improvement Budget for Fiscal Year 2026 through Fiscal Year 2030 for the City of Hutto, Texas. (Alberta Barrett)]

CONSIDERATION. POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 2025 037 OF THE CITY OF HUTTO, TEXAS, APPROVING AND ADOPTING A FIVE YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026 THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 2030 FOR THE CITY OF HUTTO, TEXAS. THANK YOU. MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

ALBERTA BARRETT, FINANCE DIRECTOR, FOR THE RECORD.

SO THIS ITEM WAS ON LAST MEETING WHICH WAS JUST AN UPDATE FROM A PRIOR MEETING THAT WE HAD THAT WE HAD UPDATED OUR CIP PROJECTS AS TO TIMING AND FUNDING.

SO TO QUICKLY GO THROUGH THOSE THE BUILDING PROJECTS, WHICH START ON PAGE 1918.

THE CHANGES THERE, WE COMBINED THE STUDY AND THE DESIGN COST FOR THE NEW PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY AND THE PARKS HEADQUARTERS OF 250,000.

AND WE PUT THAT INTO YEAR 28.

THE NEXT ITEM THAT HAD A CHANGE WAS THE NEW POLICE FACILITY.

WE HAD ORIGINALLY PUT 5.5 MILLION.

AND THAT WAS A TYPO. SHOULD HAVE BEEN 5 MILLION.

SO 5 MILLION IS INCLUDED IN 2026 AND THEN 500,000 IS PUSHED OUT TO YEAR 27.

[00:35:01]

I DID REACH OUT TO OUR BOND COUNCIL AND SPOKE TO BART.

BASED ON A QUESTION THAT HAD CAME UP AT ONE OF THE PRIOR MEETINGS AS FAR AS THE 2018, THE WORDING, THE AUTHORIZATION, IF WE COULD USE THOSE FUNDS.

EVEN IF OUR JUSTICE CENTER DIDN'T INCLUDE THE THE DISPATCH IN THE EARLIER VERSION OR DESIGN. AND HE FELT WITH THE WORDING THAT WE COULD STILL PROCEED THAT WAY.

BUT AS WE GO FURTHER INTO THE ISSUANCE, HE WILL CLARIFY THAT, BUT HE THINKS WE'RE STILL ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

AND THEN THE OTHER CHANGES ON BUILDINGS IS WE MOVE 200,000 FROM THE LIBRARY COMMUNITY CENTER STUDY TO YEAR 2030.

SO THAT WAS THE BUILDING PROJECTS ON PARK PROJECTS THAT STARTED ON PAGE 1919.

THE ONLY CHANGE THERE IS WE REMOVE THE ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FOR THE BRUSHY CREEK AMPHITHEATER OF 100,000. SINCE IT REALLY DOESN'T BELONG AS AN EXPENDITURE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FEE FUND, SINCE IT'S JUST A MAINTENANCE ITEM, IT WOULDN'T BE APPROPRIATE TO BE FUNDED THROUGH THE THROUGH THAT FUND.

MOVING TO STREETS AND DRAINAGE WHICH HAD MOST OF THE IMPACT.

IT STARTS ON PAGE 1921 AND 1922.

SO THERE WE PUSHED LIVE OAK RECONSTRUCTION T9 OF 8,000,008 96 249 OUT TO YEAR 28 T 15 EXCHANGE BOULEVARD OF 7,000,008 32 810.

WE MOVED FROM YEAR 27 TO 29 PROJECT T 18 COUNTY ROAD 163.

RECONSTRUCTION OF 4,000,005 76 OH 47 THAT WAS ALLOCATED IN 2026 HAD BEEN PUSHED TO YEAR 29.

AND THEN THE BRIDGE BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT OF 95,000 WAS PUSHED TO THIS YEAR AS WE HAVE PAID FOR OUR SHARE OF, OF THAT PROJECT.

AND THEN WE COMBINED PROJECT 1046, THE INTERSECTION OF AT EDGAR SCHMIDT AND LIVE OAK AND PROJECT 79, WHICH IS LIVE OAK INTO EDGAR SCHMIDT.

TO START THE DESIGN PHASE OF 500,000 IN YEAR 26.

THEN MOVING TO WATER PROJECTS, WHICH IS ON PAGE 1923.

SO THERE THE CHANGE THERE IS WE TOOK 100,000.

WE LEFT FOR IRON REMOVAL TO START A STUDY, AND THEN WE PUSHED THE 19,900,000 OUT INTO YEAR 30. WE MADE NO CHANGES TO THE WASTEWATER PROJECT.

SO THOSE STILL SHOW FUNDING.

I WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY SOME FUNDING SOURCES BASED ON THESE CHANGES.

SO IF YOU WERE TO LOOK AT PAGE 1929, TERSE THREE WE HAVE INCLUDED A FUND 96 FOR THAT, WHICH JUST SHOWS THE TRANSFER OUT TO DEBT SERVICE RELATED TO THE EAST WEST SPINE ROAD WHICH THE BOARD APPROVED.

AND THEN WE ADDED SKYBOX TO BREAK THAT OUT AS A PREVIOUS REQUEST FROM COUNCIL.

SO IT WILL HAVE A NEW ITS OWN SEPARATE FUND, WHICH WE'VE ALLOCATED FUND 98 FOR THAT.

BASED ON THE ESTIMATED ASSESSMENTS FROM SKYBOX IN 26.

EXCUSE ME, 27 WILL USE 6,089,782 FOR THAT FOR PROJECT T47, WHICH IS FROM INNOVATION TO ED SCHMIDT, WHICH WOULD PREVENT US OR ELIMINATE US FROM HAVING TO BORROW FUNDS FOR STREET PROJECTS IN YEAR 27.

SO I WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT.

SO FOR 26, THE BORROWING WE HAVE, OF COURSE, IS 5 MILLION FOR THE NEW POLICE FACILITY.

AND THEN ABOUT 72 MILLION 559 FOR SEWER PROJECTS.

AND THEN ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES JUST TAKES THE REMAINING OUT YEARS AS TO WHAT WE WOULD NEED TO BORROW AT THIS POINT BY YEAR.

BUT OF COURSE, THAT WILL CHANGE AS, AS WE MOVE PROJECTS AND FUNDING SOURCES.

QUESTIONS? NO, I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

I JUST PULLED IT BECAUSE I WANTED TO BE CONSISTENT. I VOTED AGAINST THIS LAST TIME, SO I WAS GOING TO. OH, SORRY.

YOU JUST YOU JUST JUMPED RIGHT IN AND DIDN'T WANT TO INTERRUPT YOU. BUT YOU SAID GOOD STUFF, THOUGH, BECAUSE IF I UNDERSTOOD YOU, RIGHT, YOU'RE SAYING IT'S PROJECTED THAT THE SKYBOX DATA CENTER WILL KICK OFF ENOUGH MONEY THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO REBUILD A ROAD.

[00:40:05]

RIGHT? FULLY FUNDED BY THAT WITHOUT HAVING TO BORROW MONEY TO 6 MILLION.

CORRECT. SO WE WE DON'T HAVE ANY SCHEDULED BORROWINGS FOR STREETS IN IN YEAR 27 BASED ON THAT. AND OF COURSE, AS THOSE PROJECTIONS COME TO MORE REALITY THAN WE'LL KNOW HOW WE NEED TO PROCEED. BUT YES, THAT'S THE PLAN.

I LOVE IT, I LOVE THAT PART OF IT.

THANK YOU. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR MOTION FOR THIS ITEM? MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE 1057 AS PRESENTED.

SECOND MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM THORNTON, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER KING.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE.

PLEASE CALL THE VOTE. MAYOR PRO TEM THORNTON.

AYE. COUNCIL MEMBER. THOMPSON.

NAY. MAYOR. SNYDER. AYE.

COUNCIL MEMBER. KING. AYE.

COUNCIL MEMBER. GORDON.

NAY. COUNCIL MEMBER. MORRIS.

AYE. COUNCIL MEMBER. PORTERFIELD.

AYE. MOTION PASSES FIVE TWO.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MA'AM.

NEXT WE HAVE ITEM 11 ONE CONSIDERATION.

[11.1. Consideration and possible action on Ordinance No. O-2025-042 amending the budget for fiscal year October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025. (Alberta Barrett)]

ALBERTA. CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE ACTION.

ORDINANCE NUMBER 2025, DASH 042, AMENDING THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR OCTOBER 1ST, 2024 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2025.

I'LL TRY TO GET EVERYBODY OUT OF HERE BY 830 PAST 60.

WE'VE ALREADY PASSED 68 ITEMS IN 15 MINUTES.

OKAY, I THINK I'M READY.

OKAY. SO AGAIN, ALBERTA BARRETT, FINANCE DIRECTOR, FOR THE RECORD. SO TO START WITH THE GENERAL FUND ON PAGE 282 WITH REVENUES I'M JUST GOING TO HIT THE HIGHLIGHTS INTEREST EARNED.

WE'RE ADDING PROPOSING AMENDMENT OF 103,934 GENERAL FUND REVENUES.

A DECREASE IN BUILDING PERMIT FEES OF ABOUT 677,000, WHICH IS REDUCED REVENUE DUE TO DELAYED PROJECTS.

AND BUILDING INSPECTION FEES ARE LOWER THAN WHAT WE BUDGETED BASED ON LOWER INSPECTION FAIL RATES. GENERAL FINES AND COLLECTIONS COURT FINES ARE INCREASING JUST DUE TO INCREASED ACTIVITY. SO THE NET AMENDMENT TO THE GENERAL FUND REVENUES IS A DECREASE OF 432,000 TO 43 EXPENDITURES IN TOTAL.

WE'RE REDUCING BY 386,478.

THE BIG ONE IS 220,000.

IN PROFESSIONAL FEES WITHIN DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

THERE. WE HAVE NOT COMPLETED THE UDC MANUAL, SO WE'LL HAVE A PORTION OF THAT EXPENSE CARRIED OVER TO NEXT YEAR.

AND THEN OUR PLAN REVIEWS AND THAT WE CONTRACT OUT ARE LESS SINCE WE HAVE STAFF ON, ON BOARD THAT THAT ARE DOING THOSE INSPECTIONS AND PLAN REVIEW SO THAT OUTSOURCING OR CONTRACTED EXPENSE IS LESS THAN WHAT WE BUDGETED.

SO THE NET INCREASE OF THE REVENUE DECREASE AND THE DECREASE IN EXPENDITURES HAS A NET DECREASE OF 5765, AND ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES, STARTING ON PAGE 284, TAKES THOSE AMENDMENTS AND APPLIES THEM TO THE ACTUAL BUDGET, SO YOU CAN SEE HOW THOSE AFFECT YOUR BOTTOM NUMBER, YOUR BOTTOM LINE. SO FOR REVENUES WHERE WE HAD AN ORIGINAL BUDGET OF 33,000,208 604, WE'RE NOW PROPOSING THAT REVENUE NUMBER TO BE 32,900,381.

AND IF YOU CARRY OVER AND LOOK AT THE END ON PAGE 2088, YOU SEE WHERE WE'VE WILL DECREASE OUR EXPENDITURES IN THIS AMENDMENT BY 386,478, WHICH WOULD LOWER OUR EXPENDITURES TO 32 MILLION TO 75 485.

SO OVERALL, WE'LL HAVE A NET INCREASE TO YOUR FUND BALANCE OF 624,896.

AN ENDING. EXCUSE ME? A FUND BALANCE ENDING AT A PROJECTION OF 8,000,004 37 373.

SO IF YOU WERE TO LOOK AT THAT, IF THAT WAS THE TRUE NUMBER, WE'D ACTUALLY HAVE A RESERVE OF ABOUT 26%.

OKAY. SO MOVING TO SORRY.

AND THAT'S BEFORE THIS YEAR WE THOUGHT WE WERE BUDGETED AT 20% RAISING IT TO 24.

[00:45:05]

SO CONCEIVABLY WE MAY BE CLOSER TO 30% RESERVE.

NO, NO. SHE HAD ESTIMATED THAT IN THE THIS YEAR'S BUDGET.

SO THAT'S NOT IN ADDITION TO WHAT IS IN THE FISCAL YEAR 26 BUDGET.

THE THE MAJORITY OF THIS 624 I PROJECTED INTO OUR BUDGET, NOT THE TOTAL, BUT A CLOSE TO IT.

OKAY. BUT WE'LL BE UP TO 26%.

WE'LL BE AT 26% AT THE END OF THIS YEAR.

30 WILL BE AROUND 24% AT THE END OF NEXT YEAR.

IF EVERYTHING WORKS OUT THE WAY THAT WE THINK OF 20%, RIGHT? WELL, WITH THE REQUIREMENT GOAL OF 20%, 10% AND A REQUIREMENT, A REQUIREMENT OF 10% AND A GOAL OF 2,525%.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE WORKING TOWARDS.

SWEET. OKAY. UTILITY FUND, PAGE 2090.

YOUR REVENUES ARE DECREASING ABOUT 899,001 59, WITH THE MAJORITY OF THAT BEING THE WATER SALES IS LOWER THAN WHAT WE HAD ORIGINALLY PROJECTED. THAT COULD STILL CHANGE SOMEWHAT, BUT JUST LOOKING AT WHERE WE'RE AT WITH THIS NEXT LAST MONTH, IT SEEMS THAT WOULD BE CLOSER TO THE ACTUAL NUMBERS, EXPENSES. THE MAJORITY OF THE, THE SAVINGS THERE IS VACANCIES WITHIN SALARIES TO POSITION VACANCIES.

EXCUSE ME. SO EXPENSES ARE DECREASING BY HUNDRED AND 73,128.

SO OVERALL YOUR NET DECREASE IS 726,031.

SO AGAIN, IF YOU'LL CARRY OVER TO THE NEXT PAGES, YOU CAN SEE WHERE WE APPLY THOSE TO THE BUDGET.

SO THE REDUCTION OF REVENUES OF 899,001 59 WILL LEAVE YOU REVENUES.

PROJECTION OF 35,000,003 39 114.

FLIPPING OVER TO THE BACK, EXPENDITURES WILL TOTAL 37,000,008 38 169 REDUCING OUR FUND BALANCE BY 2,000,499 AND $55, LEAVING YOU A FUND BALANCE OF 11,000,002 34 150.

AND AT 930 OF THIS YEAR, YOU WOULD HAVE AN ESTIMATED FUND BALANCE OF ABOUT 29, ALMOST 30%. BUT IT IS A HUGE REDUCTION IN YOUR FUND BALANCE THIS YEAR.

SURE. OKAY. IMPACT FEES.

THIS ONE'S REAL SHORT.

BUT THE BIG DIFFERENCE IS HERE.

WE'RE ADDING WATER IMPACT FEES OF ABOUT 872,000.

THAT WAS SOME FEES ASSOCIATED WITH ROLLING GLEN AND COLLIN BROOK OR OR COTTON BROOK.

EXCUSE ME. AND THEN A TRANSFER TO CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND.

WE ORIGINALLY THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE SOME PROJECTS THAT WE WOULD NEED TO DO THERE AND REIMBURSEMENTS THAT WON'T OCCUR IN THIS FISCAL YEAR.

SO THAT'S A REDUCTION OF A LITTLE OVER 6 MILLION.

SO YOU'RE ADDING TO YOUR IMPACT FEES OF ABOUT 6.9 MILLION.

SO AGAIN CARRY OVER TO THE NEXT PAGE.

YOUR REVENUES INCREASED BY THE 872 LEAVING YOU REVENUES OF 7,000,009 28 715 EXPENDITURES REDUCED BY A LITTLE OVER 6 MILLION GIVES YOU EXPENDITURES AT 9 MILLION.

09,000,457 363. YOU STILL USE A 1.5 OF THAT FUND BALANCE, BUT YOUR ENDING FUND BALANCE IS 27,000,438 646 AT NINE 3025.

SPECIAL REVENUE. THOSE ARE PRETTY SMALL.

IF I GUESS IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS OR IF YOU'D LIKE FOR ME TO GO THROUGH THEM INDIVIDUALLY, I CAN. BUT THE REST OF THEM ARE PRETTY SMALL.

YOUR PYD'S EDC IS IN THERE.

IF YOU WANT TO GO THROUGH THAT REAL QUICK, WE CAN.

IT STARTS ON PAGE 2103.

SO HERE WITH THE EDC OUR REVENUES ARE REDUCING BY A LITTLE OVER 49.4 MILLION.

AND THE MAJORITY OF THAT IS THE REDUCTION OF SALES OF LAND SALES, EXCUSE ME, THAT WE HAD ORIGINALLY ANTICIPATED THAT WOULD HAPPEN THIS YEAR HAVE NOT OCCURRED. EXPENDITURES ARE BEING REDUCED BY 16.9 1.9 MILLION.

AND THAT IS MAINLY DUE TO THE PRINCIPAL PAYMENT WILL NOT OCCUR THIS YEAR WILL BE IN IN YEAR 26. SO OVERALL YOU'RE DECREASING 32,000,005 15.

SO TO THE NEXT PAGE ON 2104 YOU SEE THE REDUCTION IN REVENUE LEAVES YOU A FUND.

EXCUSE ME A REVENUE BALANCE OF 5,000,882 300 EXPENDITURES REDUCED BY 16.9 MILLION, LEAVES YOU EXPENDITURES AT 4,000,532 70.

[00:50:03]

YOU WOULD ADD TO FUND BALANCE OF ABOUT A MILLION 379, LEAVING YOU A FUND BALANCE OF 8.1 MILLION.

OKAY. AND THEN FOLLOWING THAT, IT'S THE OTHER FUNDS WHICH ARE MAINLY YOUR KIDS AND MUDS, BUT ANY QUESTIONS, ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE FOR ME TO GO THROUGH FURTHER? QUESTIONS OR ACTION? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE OH 2025 042 AMENDING THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR OCTOBER 1ST, 2024 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2025.

[12.1. Consideration and possible action on Resolution No. R-2025-285 authorizing the City Manager to execute Outside Agency Funding agreements for awards under $50,000 in accordance with the City’s procurement policy for fiscal year 2026. (Christina Bishop)]

POSSIBLE ACTION ON RESOLUTION NUMBER R DASH 2025 285.

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE OUTSIDE AGENCY FUNDING AGREEMENTS FOR AWARDS UNDER $50,000 IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITY'S PROCUREMENT POLICY FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026.

HI. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL CHRISTINA BISHOP, CITY COMPTROLLER.

TONIGHT, THIS RESOLUTION WILL AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE OUTSIDE AGENCY FUNDING AGREEMENTS FOR AWARDS UNDER 50,000 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026.

THE FORUM AGREEMENT THAT WAS ATTACHED WAS DEVELOPED BY OUR LEGAL TEAM A FEW YEARS AGO.

IT HAS BEEN USED FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS.

IT HAS FUNCTIONED VERY WELL FOR BOTH THE CITY AND THE OUTSIDE AGENCIES.

THE AGREEMENT ESSENTIALLY OUTLINES THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING EACH AGENCY WILL RECEIVE, THE TIMING OF PAYMENTS, THE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS, WHICH ARE QUARTERLY AND WHAT THE FUNDING IS TO BE USED FOR.

THIS ITEM APPLIES TO TEN OF THE 13 AGENCIES AWARDED.

ONE OF THEM HAS REQUESTED A SLIGHT MODIFICATION TO THEIR AGREEMENTS, AND THE OTHER TWO ARE OVER 50,000.

SO IF COUNCIL IS GOOD WITH THIS FORM AGREEMENT, THOSE WILL BE BROUGHT BACK SEPARATELY BECAUSE THEY ARE OVER $50,000.

I THINK IN A NUTSHELL, THAT IS EVERYTHING I HAVE TO SAY ON THIS ONE, BUT I AM HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU MA'AM. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE OUR DASH 2020 5-2862850.

CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON RESOLUTION NUMBER 2025 286.

[12.2. Consideration and possible action on Resolution No. R-2025-286 amending the City Manager’s authority to execute Development Fee Agreements and to establish application procedures on behalf of the City for payment of review and development expenses incurred by pending and future development agreements requesting special district financing or economic development incentives. (Legal)]

AMENDING THE CITY MANAGER'S AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE DEVELOPMENT FEE AGREEMENTS AND TO ESTABLISH APPLICATION PROCEDURES ON BEHALF OF THE CITY FOR PAYMENT OF REVIEW AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES INCURRED BY PENDING AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS REQUESTING SPECIAL DISTRICT FINANCING OR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES. MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

DOROTHY PALUMBO, THE CITY ATTORNEY.

SARAH CERVANTES AND I WORKED ON THIS RESOLUTION AND FORM AGREEMENT TOGETHER.

WE'VE BEEN USING THIS FORM AGREEMENT SINCE APRIL OF 2020, WHEN THE COUNCIL AUTHORIZED THE CITY MANAGER OR INTERIM CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO THESE AGREEMENTS. THESE AGREEMENTS ARE FOR THESE COMPLEX SPECIAL DISTRICT PROJECTS.

FOR EXAMPLE, A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT OCCURS WHEN THE DEVELOPER REQUESTS THAT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THEIR DEVELOPMENT, THEY PUT FEES IN ESCROW.

AND THESE FEES PAY FOR ALL THE CONSULTANTS THAT ARE REQUIRED TO REVIEW.

SO IT SHIFTS THE COST OF DEVELOPMENT FROM THE GENERAL FUND TO THE DEVELOPER WHO'S TRYING TO GET HIS PROJECT DEVELOPED THROUGH THE CITY.

AND WE'VE ALSO INCLUDED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS.

NEXT WE HAVE ITEM 12 THREE.

[12.3. Consideration and possible action on Resolution No. R-2025-287 regarding a contract with the Capital Area Council of Governments (CAPCOG) to coordinate and host a basic peace officer course starting on or about December 15, 2025. (Chief Jeffrey Yarbrough)]

CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON RESOLUTION NUMBER R 2025 287 REGARDING A CONTRACT WITH THE CAPITAL AREA COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS TO COORDINATE AND HOST A BASIC PEACE OFFICER COURSE STARTING ON OR ABOUT DECEMBER 15TH, 2025. MAYOR. MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL JEFF YARBOROUGH, CHIEF OF POLICE OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. I'M BRINGING THIS RESOLUTION TO YOU TONIGHT.

AND TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE CONTEXT ON WHY WE WANT TO HOST ANOTHER BASIC PEACE OFFICER'S ACADEMY HERE IN THE CITY OF HUTTO IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COG.

WE'VE DONE IT PREVIOUSLY TWICE.

WE'VE HAD TWO PREVIOUS ACADEMIES.

AND THE WAY IT WAS STRUCTURED WAS OUR OFFICERS WERE PARTICIPATING IN AS INSTRUCTORS TO PAY OFF THE SALARY OR THE COST FOR OUR CADETS.

THIS THIS ONE IS STRUCTURED DIFFERENTLY.

THERE IS ZERO COST TO THE CITY.

COG IS PAYING THE SALARIES OF THE INSTRUCTORS.

THEY'RE THERE PAYING FOR THE FACILITIES FOR THE ENTIRE TIME.

AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, THEY ARE PAYING THE CITY OF HUTTO.

THEY'RE PROPOSING TO PAY THE CITY OF HUTTO $2,800 PER CADET, WHICH WE'RE CAPPED AT 32 CADETS.

THEY'RE PROPOSED TO PAY US $2,800 PER CADET, AND THEY KEEP $1,000 OF THAT.

SO THERE WILL BE THERE'S A REALLY STRONG INCENTIVE.

NUMBER ONE, WE PARTNER WITH THEM. WE'VE GOT A REALLY STRONG PARTNERSHIP WITH KELLOGG, AND WE'RE ABLE TO HAVE CADETS IN THAT ACADEMY.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE'RE ABLE TO PROVIDE THIS RESOURCE AND FACILITIES AND THE QUALITY TRAINING THAT THEY EXPECT.

AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A TEN MONTH ACADEMY, AND I'M OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS POINT.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE OUR 2025 287 AS PRESENTED BY COUNSELOR THOMPSON.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? I.

I MEAN HERE. SECOND. WHATEVER PRESENT.

CHIEF, I DO GOT A QUESTION? YES, SIR. SO MAYBE LOOKING AT THIS WRONG, BUT.

OKAY, SO YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO HOLD A CLASS FOR NEW CADETS? YES, SIR. AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE IN CITY BUILDINGS AND DURING NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS.

NO, SIR. THIS IS A NIGHT CLASS.

YEAH. NIGHT CLASS. CLASS.

YES, SIR. OKAY, THAT HELPS ME, BECAUSE WHEN I SAW THAT OUR PEOPLE ARE GETTING PAID. WELL, I WANT TO MAKE SURE IS I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THIS. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF SOMEONE WHO REGULARLY WORKS A NIGHT SHIFT AND IS GOING TO BE TEACHING AND WE'RE PAYING THEM TO WORK THE NIGHT SHIFT, AND THEN THEY'RE ALSO GETTING PAID TO TEACH THE CLASS, ARE WE DO WE HAVE A SYSTEM IN PLACE TO WHERE WE'RE NOT DOUBLE DIPPING? ABSOLUTELY. YES, SIR. THE OFFICERS THAT ARE ARE SCHEDULED TO TRAINING ARE, ARE AS INSTRUCTORS ARE DOING THAT ON THEIR OFF TIME.

AND THIS THE WAY THE ACADEMY IS SET UP IS THAT THEY THEY WILL DO SEVERAL TRAINING DAYS DURING THE WEEK, AND THEN THEY HAVE THE SATURDAY THAT THEY DO THAT TRAINING ON. SO THIS WON'T AFFECT LIKE COMP TIME AND ALL THAT BECAUSE WHAT I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO READ THIS AND THEN THINK THAT SOMEONE GETS OVERTIME OR SOMETHING AND THEN THEY'RE ALSO GETTING PAID. BUT IT'S YOU GUYS HAVE GOT IT WORKED OUT TO WHERE YOU'RE DOING IT ON YOUR OWN TIME. ALL YOU'RE ASKING IS THAT WE RUN THIS THROUGH THE CITY OF HUDDLE PAYROLL SYSTEM. YES, SIR. OKAY, ABSOLUTELY.

AND WE'RE IN THIS AS IT SHOWED THAT WE'RE GETTING THE THE MONEY FROM CAPCO.

AND THEN HOW IS THAT GETTING SPLIT OUT AGAIN? BECAUSE THAT PART I DIDN'T SEE IN THE RESOLUTION. YES. SO IT SHOULD BE ALIGNING.

I DON'T HAVE THE ACTUAL CONTRACT IN FRONT OF ME, BUT THERE'S A LINE WHERE THE COST PER CADET IS $3,800 AND WE WILL RECEIVE 2800 OF THAT, AND CAPCO WILL KEEP THE $1,000 PER CADET.

AND WHAT'S THE PLAN FOR THAT 2800? IF YOU HAD 32, LET'S SAY 30, WHAT'S THAT? ABOUT 100 GRAND. ALMOST ABOUT 89.

I HAVE A BREAKDOWN. OKAY. JOSH BELLINGER, OUR LIEUTENANT, WHO'S ACTUALLY OVERSEEING THIS PROJECT.

YES, SIR. MAYOR. COUNCIL MR..

SO THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF HULL AND THE FIRST PART OF THE FUNDING IS THIS WAS A GRANT THAT WAS AWARDED TO CAPCO.

AND THEY SOUGHT US OUT AS A TRAINING PARTNER. WE'VE PARTNERED WITH CAPCO FOR MULTIPLE YEARS. AND SO THE FIRST PART OF THAT FUNDING IS APPROXIMATELY $89,000 IS GOING TO PAY FOR THE THE THE PEACE OFFICER COURSE COORDINATION FEES AS WELL AS THE USE OF THE FACILITIES.

SO THERE IS APPROXIMATELY $10,000 FOR THE USE OF THE FACILITIES THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE TEN MONTHS. IT'S ANOTHER $79,000 FOR THE COORDINATION AND INSTRUCTION FEES, THAT IS, WILL COVER THE COST THAT THE CITY WILL HAVE TO COVER FOR THE INSTRUCTIONAL

[01:00:01]

PART. IN ADDITION TO THAT, THE TUITION PER CADET IS $3,800 PER CADET THAT IS PAYABLE BY CAPCO.

CAPCO THEN SENDS $2,800 OF THAT TO THE CITY OF HUDDLED DIRECTLY.

SO THE THE WAY THAT WE HAVE ESTIMATED RIGHT NOW IS THAT THE COST FOR TO PROVIDE OUR INSTRUCTORS, OUR SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS, AS WELL AS OUR CERTIFIED INSTRUCTORS IN VARIOUS AREAS IS ROUGHLY GOING TO BE $79,000.

AND THEN EVERYTHING ABOVE THAT IS GOING WOULD GO DIRECTLY TO THE CITY IN ORDER TO HELP FACILITATE THE THE PAYROLL SYSTEMS, YOU KNOW, FOR PAYROLL AND FINANCE TO PROCESS THAT THROUGH.

SO NET BENEFIT TO THE CITY IS ABOUT $10,000.

NO, IT'S RIGHT NOW IT'S GOING TO BE APPROXIMATELY $85,000.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID 79,000.

$79,000 IS FOR THE INSTRUCTIONAL FEES, AND THEN 10,000 IS FOR IS PAID FOR THE USE OF THE FACILITIES. AND THEN IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE WILL RECEIVE $2,800 PER CADET.

ON TOP OF THAT, AND BASED OFF OF OUR RECENT CONVERSATIONS THAT WE HAD WITH THE EXECUTIVE STAFF AT CAPCO, THEY HAVE 32 CADETS IN WEIGHT.

AND THE ONLY REASON WHY WE'RE LIMITED AT 30 IS BECAUSE THAT'S THE NUMBER OF SEATS I HAVE AVAILABLE IN MY TRAINING CLASS. OKAY, SO THE NET BENEFIT TO THE CITY IS ROUGHLY 85 85,000. SO WHERE DOES THAT 85,000.

DOES THAT GO TO OUR GENERAL REVENUE OR IS THAT.

YES, SIR. IT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD GO TO THE GENERAL REVENUE FOR THE CITY TO DECIDE ON HOW THEY WANT TO USE THOSE FUNDS.

IDEALLY, WE WOULD HOPE THAT THAT WOULD BE FUNDING THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT THE CITY COULD DETERMINE WHAT'S THE BEST FIT.

AND WHEREVER THAT'S AT, THAT'S WHAT THEY JUST PAID FOR THEIR IT PERSON TO ME. WELL, I'M GOING TO GO THERE.

WHAT I WAS THINKING IS SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

I DON'T WANT IT TO BE LIKE THE TEXAS LOTTERY, WHERE.

OH, YOU GUYS MADE 85,000.

NOW WE CAN CUT 85,000, BECAUSE THAT'S NOT FAIR.

I WOULDN'T WANT TO DO THE MONEY FOR.

I'D RATHER THE MONEY GO TO ONE OFF THINGS LIKE IF YOU NEED NEW EQUIPMENT OR AN INVESTMENT LIKE THAT TO WHERE? WHATEVER. BUT IF IT SAT IN THE GENERAL REVENUE FOR US TO DECIDE LATER AND SOMETHING COME UP AND WE NEED TO DO, LIKE, I DON'T KNOW, A NEW DRONE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THEN I COULD SEE THIS BEING A VERY GOOD BENEFIT THAT YOU GUYS WERE SOUGHT AFTER.

IN MY MIND, THAT'S KIND OF PRESTIGIOUS.

THAT IS BEING LOOKED AFTER BECAUSE BEFORE I'M SURE THEY DIDN'T EVEN PICK UP THE PHONE FOR US. NOW THEY WANT US TO DO IT, AND THEN WE HAVE A FULL CLASS, AND THEN WE'RE ABLE TO USE OUR FACILITIES AND THEN OUR TRAINING, WHICH HELPS OUR PEOPLE DO.

I WOULD IMAGINE DO BETTER AND BECOME EVEN, YOU KNOW, MORE SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS AND THEN USE THAT IN A WAY TO HELP FUND THINGS THAT MAYBE, MAYBE WE'RE NOT PROVIDING YOU, BUT YOU GUYS ARE GOING, HEY, WE COULD TEACH SOME PEOPLE SOME STUFF AND MAYBE GET SOME EQUIPMENT OUT OF IT ALSO.

YES, SIR. IT'S CERTAINLY A TREMENDOUS BENEFIT FOR ALL PARTIES INVOLVED, NOT ONLY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE PARTNERSHIP WE HAVE AT CAPE COD.

IT'S A BENEFIT TO THEM AND THEIR BASIC PEACE OFFICER ACADEMY.

THOSE THAT ARE COMING INTO THE ACADEMY, THEY'RE LEAVING KNOWING THAT THEY WERE TRAINED BY OFFICERS AND THE SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS IN OUR DEPARTMENT AS THEY GO TO THEIR RESPECTIVE DEPARTMENTS OR THEY JOIN THIS POLICE DEPARTMENT. SO THERE'S THERE'S JUST IT'S JUST A WIN WIN. AND THE BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT THIS ONE, COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS TWO, LIKE I SAID EARLIER, IS THAT THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL COSTS INCURRED TO US OR THAT CHALLENGE THAT WE HAD PREVIOUSLY.

SO IN A CLASS LIKE THIS, HOW MANY OF THE OFFICERS COMING IN ARE ALREADY KIND OF SPONSORED BY ANOTHER DEPARTMENT VERSUS THEY'RE THEY'RE JUST THERE TO BE READY TO BE OPEN TO BE HIRED.

SO I DON'T HAVE THOSE NUMBERS.

SO IT IS A MIX. YES. SO THERE IS A MIX.

AND SO THE BENEFIT THERE IS THAT YOU GET TO SEE THOSE PEOPLE WHILE THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THE TRAINING. ABSOLUTELY.

KNOW THEM A WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN YOU EVER COULD IN AN INTERVIEW PROCESS. ABSOLUTELY.

AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN PREVIOUS ACADEMIES.

WE GET A CHANCE TO SEE THOSE WHO ARE FREELANCE, QUOTE UNQUOTE, THAT ARE NOT SPONSORED BY ANOTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY, AND WE GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD THOSE RELATIONSHIPS AND PARTNERSHIPS AND AND BY PROXY, BY BEING BEING CONNECTED TO US.

THOSE OFFICERS HAVE THAT TENDENCY TO GRAVITATE, WANTING TO REMAIN WHERE THEY WERE TRAINED. SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE WE DO MAXIMIZE THAT THAT LEVERAGE, LEVERAGE THAT BENEFIT.

AND TO YOUR POINT, I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT IF, YOU KNOW, ONCE THE CHECK HITS THE ACCOUNT, IF YOU GUYS CAME BACK AROUND AND SAID, HEY, YOU KNOW, THE MONEY'S HERE, AND GUESS WHAT? YOU KNOW, THIS IS SOME EQUIPMENT THAT THAT, YOU KNOW, DIDN'T QUITE MAKE THE CUT THAT WE REALLY THINK WE NEED. AND, YOU KNOW, GIVE US A BUDGET AMENDMENT AND LET'S MAKE USE OF IT. SO.

YEAH. YES, SIR. OH. WHAT'S THAT VEHICLE CALLED? THE ARMORED SRT. YEAH.

I'LL JUST TELL YOU, IT'S IT'S THE WIND CHILL.

I SEE THE I SEE THE THE BENEFIT TO IT OCCASIONALLY, BUT I WOULD NOT LIKE US TO HOPEFULLY EVER BUY ONE OF THOSE, BECAUSE I THINK IT SENDS A MESSAGE THAT EITHER WE HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS OR THAT WE'RE PREPARED, AND SOMETIMES THEIR PREPARATION FOR THE PROBLEMS MAKES SOME PEOPLE UNEASY.

YOU KNOW, I COULD HAVE AN ARMORED CAR COMING THROUGH, SO I HOPE WE DON'T EVER HAVE TO USE ONE AGAIN. HOPING WE DO.

I HOPE THAT IT'S WILLIAMSON COUNTY AND THOSE GUYS ARE GUNG HO AND THEY GET THE,

[01:05:01]

YOU KNOW, THEY GET TO BREAK IT OUT. AND I HOPE THAT WE DON'T EVER GET TO A POINT WHERE WE REALLY, REALLY THINK THAT'S A NEED. IT'S MORE AND IT STAYS AS A NICE TO HAVE.

BUT I UNDERSTAND ALSO THAT IF I HAD TO GO INTO A HOUSE, I WOULDN'T WANT TO GET BEHIND A POLICE CAR.

THAT WON'T STOP A BULLET EITHER.

SO I UNDERSTAND THAT. YES, SIR.

I LIKE RIOT SHIELDS. I HOPE WE NEVER USE THEM AND I HOPE WE NEVER USE TEAR GAS.

BUT I KNOW YOU HAVE TO HAVE THEM, BECAUSE AT THE TIME, YOU GUYS HAD TO DEPLOY THAT. THEN. I MEAN, YOU GOTTA DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO.

YES, SIR. I LIKE DRONES, BUT ANYWAY.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, PLEASE CALL THE VOTE.

NEXT WE'LL HAVE ITEM 12 FOR CONSIDERATION.

[12.4. Consideration and possible action on Resolution R-2025-288 requiring compliance with mandatory fire lanes for on-street parking changes; providing proper notice and meeting, and providing an effective date. (Mayor Snyder)]

POSSIBLE ACTION ON RESOLUTION R DASH 2025 288 REQUIRING COMPLIANCE WITH MANDATORY FIRE LANES FOR ON STREET PARKING CHANGES, PROVIDING PROPER NOTICE AND MEETING AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

MAYOR, THIS HAS YOUR NAME ON IT.

BUT NO, IT HAS CHRISTY'S AND MY NAME ON IT.

OH IT DOES. YEAH, IT SAYS MAYOR SNYDER.

I DON'T HAVE MY GLASSES, SO IT COULD SAY A LOT OF THINGS UP THERE, BUT. OH, SHE'S DEAF CONTACT.

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT. ALL THE NAMES THAT AREN'T MINE, IF YOU ARE OKAY WITH ME TALKING, I'LL KNOCK THIS OUT IN TWO MINUTES.

I'LL JUST SAY I BROUGHT THIS UP BECAUSE I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE GET TO A POINT OF WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT, LIKE FINALIZATION AND CLARITY OF THE ISSUE.

ALL RIGHT, SO, MAYOR, COUNCIL FOR THE RECORD. JAMES HART, CITY MANAGER BEFORE YOU, A RESOLUTION THAT ESTABLISHES THE POSITION OF THE CITY WHEN IT COMES TO THE FIRE LANES THAT ARE REQUIRED FOR RESTRICTING ON STREET PARKING FOR ROADS THAT ARE CERTAIN WIDTHS THROUGH THE INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE, APPENDIX D AFTER CONSULTATION WITH THE ATTORNEYS FOR THE CITY AND FOR THE ESD AND CONSULTATION WITH THE ESD STAFF, WE ARRIVED AT 2019 AS BEING THE DEMARCATION DATE TO WHERE ANY SUBDIVISION THAT'S PLOTTED AFTER 2019 IS REQUIRED TO HAVE COMPLIED WITH THE RULES OF RESTRICTED PARKING FOR CERTAIN WIDTHS, AND THAT WOULD BE AUTOMATICALLY.

THAT'S NOT DISCRETIONARY.

ANYTHING PRIOR TO 2019 WOULD FALL STILL UNDER THE DISCRETIONARY LANGUAGE FOR THE FIRE MARSHAL TO IDENTIFY ANY, ANY STREET IN THE CITY THAT IS LESS THAN 32 FOOT IN WIDTH. THAT IS A CURRENT HAZARD BECAUSE OF THE PATTERN OF PARKING, AND TO IDENTIFY THAT AS AN AREA THAT NEEDS TO HAVE RESTRICTED PARKING, BUT THEN WOULD BRING THAT TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THE CITY COUNCIL TO PASS A NO PARKING ORDINANCE. AND CHRISTIE BARNES LED A MEETING OF THE HOA WITH EMERY FARMS YESTERDAY FROM CITY STAFF'S PERSPECTIVE ON THIS AND THE AT LEAST THE MEMBERS THAT WERE PRESENT IN THE BOARD WERE SATISFIED WITH THE SOLUTION.

THAT AND WHERE WE CAME DOWN.

THANK YOU SIR. ARE THERE ANY WHEN THIS SAYS UNDER THE RESOLUTION, ALL STREETS CONSTRUCTED AFTER 2019 REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THESE FIRE LANE STANDARDS.

AND THEN FOR ONES BUILT BEFORE IT'S UP TO THE FIRE MARSHAL.

DO WE KNOW OF ANY ROADS THAT WERE CONSTRUCTED AFTER 2019 THAT CURRENTLY ARE? I GUESS IF WE PASS THIS, DO WE HAVE ANY ROADS THAT TOMORROW COULD BE STRIPED FOR FIRE LANES.

WE'RE NOT GOING OUT AND STRIPING ANYTHING, BUT IF IT SAYS CONSTRUCTION, IT SHOULD SAY PLATTED BECAUSE THE PLAT DATES WOULD DETERMINE THE DATE OF CONSTRUCTION IS BUILT. SO? SO ONE ONE WHOLE I SEE IS WHAT ABOUT ANYTHING PLATTED IN 2019? IT'S NOT CLEAR WHICH WHICH APPLIES THERE BEFORE OR AFTER ONE OF THEM SHOULD SAY DURING OR AFTER OR DURING OR BEFORE THE DATE THAT WE ADOPTED THE CODE IN 2019, WHICH IS A SET DATE THAT WE COULD IDENTIFY.

OKAY. AND YOU'RE POSITIVE IT'S PLATTED? I'M SAYING THAT IT IS PLATTED.

OKAY. BECAUSE I THINK THIS RESOLUTION'S GOT TO COME BACK. I WOULD SAY IT'S WHEN THE CITY ACCEPTED THOSE STREETS, WE WOULD HAVE A DATE.

LET'S DO THIS. AND BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, I WOULD SAY PLATTED IS BECAUSE YOU COULD HAVE A SUBDIVISION THAT START THAT PLANNED AND SUBDIVIDED WITH THE PRELIMINARY PLAT PRIOR TO THE CODE CHANGE. AND THEN AND NOW THEY'RE IN PHASE THREE, 4 OR 5. AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK AND SAY, HEY, YOU'RE BUILDING THEM NOW. NOW YOU GOT TO GO AND REPLAT YOUR WHOLE SUBDIVISION,

[01:10:01]

THIS PART YOU HAVEN'T DONE YET BECAUSE YOUR ROADS AREN'T WIDE ENOUGH OR YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO RESTRICT PARKING. SO IT SHOULD BE THE PLAT DATE THAT DETERMINES IT.

AND THAT SHOULD PUT THE WHOLE DEVELOPMENT.

SO I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO POSTPONE THIS ITEM TO.

OCTOBER 2ND. IS THERE MORE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE OTHER THAN JUST THE PLAT? WELL, LET ME SEE IF I GET A SECOND.

SURE. SECOND. PETER. PETER, YOU SAID IT.

YOU SAID IT. OKAY. THE REASON IS IT SAYS STREETS BUILT AFTER AND STREETS BUILT BEFORE.

AND SO JUST SO THAT SHOULD SAY PLATTED BEFORE PLATTED SO THAT LEGAL.

AND YOU ARE ON THE SAME PAGE SO THAT WHATEVER THAT IS, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WHEN WE BRING IT BACK, I WOULD JUST IF SHE'S COMFORTABLE WITH IT, I'D RATHER Y'ALL JUST MAKE THE CHANGE ON THE FLY AND LET'S BE DONE WITH IT.

BUT THAT'S ME. WHAT'S THE BEST ROUTE PLATTED OR BUILT? OR I MEAN, PLATTED OR WHAT? WHAT DID YOU SAY, DOTTIE? WELL, I SAID WHEN THE CITY ACCEPTED THE STREET.

BECAUSE IF I NOW I'M LIKE, OKAY, WELL, IF IT'S PLATTED, WELL, THEY MAY HAVE PLATTED SOMETHING. AND TEN YEARS LATER, THEY BUILD IT. I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. YOU'RE THINKING WHAT? WE JUST HAD A CONVERSATION. HEY, DON'T PUNISH HIM.

AND YOU KNOW ME. I'M LIKE, WELL, YOU SHOULD HAVE BUILT IT FASTER. I CAN SEE ACCEPTANCE BEING A DATE, BUT THEN THAT COULD CAUSE A HARDSHIP TO SOMEBODY THAT WAS SITTING ON A PLAT. BUT I GUESS YOU'D HAVE TO REPLANT IN MY MIND.

I JUST HAVE TO REPLAT THE PROPERTY. THEY SHOULD HAVE BUILT IT QUICKER. IT'S NOT USUALLY HOW ACCEPTANCE WORKS.

ACCEPTANCE. EVERYTHING'S DONE RIGHT AND THEN WE'RE ACCEPTING IT.

SO IF WE'RE LIKE, HEY, EVERYTHING'S DONE NOW.

BUT OH BY THE WAY, NOW YOU GOT TO GO AND MAKE ONE SIDE.

NO PARKING. AFTER THEY'VE ALREADY CONVEYED ALL THE PROPERTY TO ALL THE PROPERTY OWNERS, YOU'RE GOING TO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A BUNCH OF ISSUES. YOU'D RATHER THEM BUILD IT THAT WAY AND STRIPE IT THAT WAY AND NOTICE IT THAT WAY BEFORE THEY START SELLING HOUSES? RIGHT. SO NOW YOU'RE BACK TO BUILD.

PERIOD. WHAT DOES MATT THINK, RECTOR? LET'S DO THIS JUST BECAUSE.

HERE'S WHAT I'M GONNA DO. AND THIS IS WHY I WANT TO POSTPONE THIS. BECAUSE WHEN ITEMS COME UP, I WANT THE STAFF ALL ON THE SAME PAGE FOR ONE RECOMMENDATION SO THAT WE KNOW.

BECAUSE IF YOU GUYS AREN'T NECESSARILY I WANT YOU GUYS TO SPEND YOUR TIME FIGURING OUT THE BEST ROUTE AND THEN FOR US TO COME UP.

CITY MANAGER I SAY IT'S POT.

SO HE'S GOING TO SAY IT'S PLATTE BECAUSE I'M TELLING HIM THAT IT'S FLAT.

SO IT'S ANYTHING TO BE DONE.

IT'S A REVERSE COUP. I THINK TO TO WHAT MIKE'S SAYING IS, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT THAT WE WOULDN'T GET THE COMPLIANCE NOW BECAUSE WE HAVE THE PLATTE, BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE ROAD.

SO THAT'S THE REASON THAT I'M SAYING PLATTE IS BECAUSE LET'S SAY THERE'S A NUMBER OF SUBDIVISIONS THAT ARE BEING BUILT RIGHT NOW. AND THEY COULD HAVE BEEN PLATTED PRIOR TO 2019. AND THEIR ROADS ARE TOO NARROW ACCORDING TO THE NEW CODE.

BUT BECAUSE IT WAS PRIOR TO US HAVING ADOPTED THAT CODE, WE DIDN'T APPLY THAT CODE IN THE REVIEW PROCESS.

OKAY. SO NOW IF WE SAY OH WELL IT'S AT ACCEPTANCE OR IT'S SOMETHING ELSE OTHER THAN PLAT, NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK AND RETROACTIVELY PUT IN FIRE LANE RESTRICTIONS WHEN THAT WASN'T EVER PART OF THE PLAN.

SO THAT'S THE REASON I'M SAYING IT SHOULD BE PLAT AND IT SHOULD BE 2019.

AND THEN ANYTHING THAT'S PLOTTED HERE FORWARD WILL HAVE TO HAVE DESIGNED IT TO EITHER BE WIDE ENOUGH OR TO HAVE RESTRICTED PARKING EITHER WAY.

SO IF YOU PLATTED A ROAD AT 27FT IN 2018, YOU'RE GOOD.

UNLESS THE FIRE MARSHAL COMES IN AND SAYS, HEY OUR FIRE TRUCKS ARE NOW TWO FEET WIDER AND ALL THE VEHICLES ARE GOTTEN BIGGER BECAUSE EVERYBODY'S DRIVING THESE CYBERTRUCKS AND THEY'RE ALL PARKED ON THE ROAD AND WE CAN'T GET THROUGH. THEN I'M COMING TO CITY COUNCIL TO ASK FOR THESE TWO BLOCKS TO BE MADE.

NO PARKING, BECAUSE THE FIRE IS.

WE'RE PUTTING ON THE FIRE MARSHAL AT THAT POINT TO MAKE THAT CALL. YEAH.

OKAY. FOR US, WE'LL HANDLE IT ON THE FRONT END.

EVERYTHING THAT COMES THROUGH HAS TO COMPLY WITH THE STREET WIDTHS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO PLOT AND BUILD GOING FORWARD AND GOING FORWARD.

WE'RE ONLY DOING 32. THEY CAN DO NARROWER THAN THAT IF THEY WANT, BUT THEY'RE GOING TO KNOW THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE ONE SIDED PARKING. BUT FROM A MAINTENANCE STANDPOINT, WE'D RATHER JUST HAVE A 32 FOOT WIDE ROAD. SO WE'RE NOT FROM A MAINTENANCE STANDPOINT, I'D RATHER HAVE A NARROWER ROAD SO THERE'S LESS TO MAINTAIN. WELL, OKAY.

YOU GOT THAT. AND AND I'LL I'LL AGREE THAT PLAT MAKES SENSE HERE.

WE DID GOOD JAMES. YOU GOT YOU GOT THE CITY ENGINEER TO AGREE TO IT.

AND YOU GOT THE CITY SAYING THE WORD SEND THE.

I'LL RESCIND THE POSTPONEMENT.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION R DASH 2025 288 WITH A CLARIFICATION. ADDED THAT IT IS AT PLAT.
