DURING THE TIME THAT WE WERE ABLE TO TUTOR AND WE WERE ABLE TO ALSO A MENTOR, WE DID A LOT OF GOOD.

AND THAT WAS THE ONE THAT HELPED.
BUT ANYWAY, SO THIS TO ME IS GREAT.
WE HAD A WONDERFUL PERSON BY THE NAME OF JOHN OR ONE GARCIA WHO WAS STANDING OUTSIDE THE LIBRARY AND I, AND HE WOULDN'T COME IN.
I WENT OUT TWICE AND FINALLY I DRAGGED HIM IN.
HE SAID, I SAID, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WANT? AND HE SAID, WELL, I WANT TO TEACH, OH MY GOD, THANK YOU GOD.
AND HE WAS ABLE TO, IN ONE YEAR, TEACH ALL THESE PEOPLE AND MENTOR SO THAT THEY COULD PASS THE CITIZENSHIP CLASSES.

PASS THEIR MATH PAST.THANKS TO MY HUSBAND WHO LIKES MATH AND THAT'S, HIS NAME IS DAMEON JIMENEZ.

SO, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THIS IS DONE BY NOT COST AT ALL TO THE CITY.
AND WE STARTED THIS BECAUSE I TOOK THIS, UH, A COURSE IN, UM, ACADEMY OF THE CITY OF SOMEBODY NIETO WENT EVERYWHERE AND GOT THREE MINUTES.

I'M SORRY.I WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE GIVEN, UH, DO YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING TO THE PUBLIC OVER HERE? I'M SORRY.
MY NAME IS LONNIE DAVIS AND I WAS BORN IN 70 TO TEXAS.
3 45 WEST WINDSHIELD STREET, L HARDEEN C A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT SALMON NITA AT ONE TIME HAD THE LARGEST BLACK POPULATION IN THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY.
AND IT WAS BECAUSE OF JOE CALANDRA.
HE CAME HERE AND THE TURN OF THE CENTURY AND A MASTER FORTUNE IN 70 TO TEXAS, MOST OF THE LAND AROUND THE HEB STORE BELONG TO JOHN TO JOE CALANDRA.
AND WE GAVE HIM A LOT OF CREDIT FOR ESTABLISHING A LOT OF THINGS, BUT I THINK FANNIE DID MORE THAN JOE DID, BUT HE BROUGHT HIS FAMILY AND THERE WAS A SAY, HANS, LASTLY, AND THEN MY FAMILY CAME THE DAVIS AND THERE WERE A BUNCH OF US IN THAT PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD AND ELKHART DEAN SOMETIME I WALKED DOWN THE STREET AND I JUST TO GET FREEDOM THAT MY GRANDMOTHER WAS WATCHING ME.
SHE'LL BE VERY PROUD OF YOU TODAY.
[00:15:14]
OKAY.[7. Consideration and possible action to approve the Minutes of the October 19, 2021 Regular City Commission Meeting.]
SEVEN CONSIDERATION POSSIBLE ACTIONS OR PUT THE MINUTES OF OCTOBER, 1920, 21 REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING.AND IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS? NONE.
DO I HAVE A MOTION MOTION BY COMMISSIONER MARIA FRANCO SECOND BY COMMISSIONER LAVONNE.
[8. Discussion and briefing on park improvements including the cemeteries by the Parks Department.]
IN BRIEF ON THE PARK IMPROVEMENT, INCLUDING THE CEMETERY BY THE PARKS DEPARTMENT.UH, MR. , UH, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COMMISSIONERS.
UH, DO THEY HAVE A PRESENTATION ON SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS WE'VE BEEN DOING AT, UH, SOME OF THE PARKS NEED, THE CLICKER WAS HERE A MINUTE AGO, RUTH SO IF YOU TREAT THEM BY KENNY PARK RECENTLY, YOU'VE NOTICED A SET OF, UH, ONLY STRING SETS THROUGHOUT THE PARK.
UH, WE ALSO HAVE THE FIRST ADA COMPLIANT, UH, SWING SET IN THE CITY.
THAT WOULD BE THE IMAGE TO YOUR RIGHT.
IT'S A PLATFORM WHERE PEOPLE IN WHEELCHAIRS CAN, CAN ACTUALLY SHRINK AND ENJOY THEMSELVES.
WE ALSO HAVE A NEW SWING COLOR NEST SWING.
THAT'S VERY POPULAR WITH MOTHERS AND CHILDREN.
UH, ALSO ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SOCCER, YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN A NEW, UH, STEEL COLUMNS GOING UP THAT'S FOR THE NEW SHADES THAT ARE GOING TO GO OVER THE, THE AMPHITHEATER SEATING AREA IN THE DANCE AREA.
UH, THAT'S GOING TO PROVIDE MUCH NEEDED SHADE, AND IT'S ALSO GONNA INCREASE THE CURB APPEAL OF THE, OF THAT AREA.
WE'VE HAD A FEW DELAYS BECAUSE THE GRANTEE'S SO SOAKED.
WE CANNOT GET THE EQUIPMENT THERE TO FINISH THE PROJECT, BUT WE SHOULD BE DONE BY THE MIDDLE OF THIS MONTH.
UH, THE SIGN AT DICK WELCH PARK, WE HAD AN OLD WOODEN SIGN THAT'S BEEN REPLACED BY A NEW MONEY, ONE STYLE SIGN.
UH, WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE LETTERING TO BE DONE.
WE HAVE THREE COMPANIES PROVIDING US QUOTES FOR THAT, UM, FELLING OUT PAVILION.
WE HAVE A COMPANY THAT'S DOING THE DESIGN FOR THAT.
THE ENGINEERING THAT'S LAB WILL COME OUT AND WE'RE GOING TO PREPARE THE GROUND FOR THE CONSTRUCTION THAT IS ALSO IN THE WORKS LANDRUM PARK.
THAT'S GOING TO GO OUT FOR BIDS, UH, CEMETERY, THE COVER OVER THE THREE DEFENDANT MEMORIAL.
UH, I HAVE A COMPANY ALSO AN ENGINEERING FIRM DRAWING UP PLANS FOR THAT, UH, STRUCTURE.
UM, THEY'RE BEING VERY CAREFUL ABOUT HOW THEY GO ABOUT THIS BECAUSE SINCE THE NATURE OF THE SITE, UH, WE GOTTA BE CAREFUL.
UH, IT'S ALSO AN OPEN AREA, UH, SUSCEPTIBLE TO HIGH WINDS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
SO WE TAKE A SPECIAL CARE WITH THAT.
SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS WE'RE DOING, UM, THE BREAKUP OF THE POLICE COMPLETE, THAT'S ALSO DONE.
UM, THE BASEBALL FIELDS ARE BEING PREPARED FOR THE UPCOMING SEASON.
SO OUR GUYS ARE PRETTY BUSY AND THOSE ARE SOME OF THE PROJECTS WE'RE WORKING ON.
IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I'M AVAILABLE, UH, RAMON, IF YOU'LL GO BACK TO THE ALLEGAN PARK DIVISION, OKAY.
MIRROR COMMISSIONERS HAVE YOU'LL NOTICE THAT SLAB.
WE DID, UH, MR. BELL WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT SOME GOOGLE EARTH PHOTOS OF WHEN IT WASN'T.
IT WAS HURRICANE DOLLY THAT WE LOST THIS STRUCTURE, UH, TO GET IT REPLACED.
SOME OF THE FUNDING IS GOING TO COME OUT OF, OUT OF THE CDBG FUNDS.
SO PART OF IT IS THAT WE RECOGNIZE THAT WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE TO ASK THE CITY COMMISSION TO AUTHORIZE SOME FUNDS OUT OF OUR OWN ASSIGNED RESERVES TO BUILD THIS, UH, UH, WE'VE ALREADY SHARED SOME PHOTOS OF OTHER PAVILIONS AT OTHER PARTS THAT WOULD, UH, ENCOMPASS THIS AREA.
AND I THINK WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT OUR 40 BY 40 40 BY 40 40 BY 40, UH, PAVILION, UH, WHICH IS FAIRLY STANDARD, UH, FOR FAMILIES THAT ARE HAVING PARTIES AND STUFF, BIRTHDAY STUFF.
SO WE, WE DIDN'T WANT TO TOO SMALL AND GET NOT TOO LARGE.
AND WHETHER IT'S 35 BY 35 OR 35 BY 40, THE 44 BY 44 WHEELER, BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO ALL BE PRICE DRIVEN AND MATERIALS AND WHO CAN BUILD THE, SO THE, THE FOUNDATION, OBVIOUSLY THAT CAN'T STAND IT, WON'T HOLD THE ROOM.
IT'S A TRIP HAZARD, SO WE'LL NEED TO LEVEL IT OFF.
SO THAT MEANS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE IT OUT ENGINEERING.
SO SOME OF THOSE THINGS ARE A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME-CONSUMING, BUT AGAIN, I ASSURE YOU THAT WE CAN COME UP WITH THE FUNDING.
AND PLUS I RECALL TWO MONTHS AGO, YOU REALLOCATED SOME OF THOSE FUNDS, WHICH IS GOING TO HELP HERE.
AND I CAN'T THINK OF THE OTHER PARK.
[00:20:01]
IS THE NEXT ITEM.SO, BUT I WANTED YOU TO KNOW WE WERE WORKING ON THOSE LAND DEMOGRAPHERS.
I THINK WE'RE LOOKING FOR, TO REFRESH MY MEMORY 60,000 OR FOR BATHROOMS. YEAH.
CAN, CAN WE GO BACK TO THE, ON THAT ONE? IS THERE ANYTHING BESIDE IT? UH, CAN WE LEAVE THAT? YES, SIR.
WE'LL HAVE MUCH BETTER NOT BUILDING IT.
I'M SAYING NOT BUILD ON THAT SLAB.
AND JUST LEAVE THAT SLAP THAT WE CAN, TH THIS LAB, IT'S ACTUALLY THREE DIFFERENT LABS.
SO IT'S THREE DIFFERENT TASKS THAT WERE PUT TOGETHER.
UH, AT DIFFERENT TIMES, LIKE THE CITY MANAGER SAID THAT'S A TRIPPING HAZARD AND THE KIDS FALL.
IT'S ACTUALLY A LIABILITY FOR THE CITY.
WHERE ARE THE BASKETBALL COURTS IN THAT PARK? UH, IT'S RIGHT BEHIND.
IT WOULD BE TO THE LEFT OF THE, OF THAT, UH, CELEBRATE THERE.
AND THE BASKETBALL COURT IS ACTUALLY ASPHALT AND THAT'S IN GOOD SHAPE.
IT'S 30, ROUGHLY 35, 37 35 BY 37.
AND AGAIN, IT'S A, IT'S A THREE SLABS.
THAT'S THE REASON WE CANNOT BUILD ON THAT BECAUSE IT'S NOT STABLE.
AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE BUILDING TECHNIQUES WE'RE USING.
IF THEY USE THE MESH OR REBAR, WE HAVE TO HAVE A STRUCTURE THAT'S SOLID.
BUT LIKE I SAID, I'M NOT SAYING DO IT ON TOP OF THAT.
IF THERE'S, IF THERE'S, AND MAYBE THAT'S A, THAT'S A, THAT'S A CITY COMMISSIONER DECISION.
IF YOU WANT TO LET THEM USE SOMEBODY'S LIABILITY OR JUST SAYING, HERE'S THE THING, THE MOMENT WE TOUCH IT, WE HAVE TO IMPROVE IT.
YOU WANT US TO LEAVE IT IN FRONT OF THE PLACE? YOU GIVE US INSTRUCTIONS.
SO, BUT YOU NEED TO DECIDE COLLECTIVELY, OKAY.
CAUSE SPACE-WISE EITHER ONE WHEN IT'S GOING TO INTERFERE WITH THE LITTLE VOLLEYBALL COURT AFTER THAT IS THE BASKETBALL COURT RIGHT HERE.
AND BESIDES THAT, IT'S COMPLETELY TRUE.
IT'S SO LIKE UNLEVEL THERE'S THOUGHTS COMING UP AND DOWN.
DEFINITELY LEAVE THAT LIKE KIDS, I MEAN, YOU THOUGHT ABOUT LEAVING AND WE THOUGHT ABOUT BUILDING OVER IT.
WE THOUGHT IT'S MORE COSTLY TO DO THAT BECAUSE IT IS UNSTABLE.
AND MOST OF THE FOUNDATIONS THAT WE SEE AROUND HERE, THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH REBAR OR ANY STEEL AND HARDLY ANY MESH AND THE SUBSURFACE IS NOT PROPERLY PREPARED.
SO AGAIN, AND IF WE DON'T TOUCH IT, IT CAN STAY THERE.
IT'D BE BETTER TO ADJACENT WITH THE EXISTING BATHROOMS. I'M SORRY.
UH, NO, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO ADD, BUT NEXT TO THE RESTAURANT, THEY'RE LIKE, YEAH, LIKE MAYOR PRO TEM SAYS THERE'S NOT REALLY A LOT OF SPACE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE TRAIL RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE RESTAURANT ENOUGH TO THE NORTH OF THAT.
IT'S UM, IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO, TO HOUSE THAT BECAUSE IT WOULD BE TOO CLOSE TO THE STREET.
SO DO WE, UH, ARE WE GOING TO GIVE HIM, UH, UH, IT'S GOING TO BE A LIABILITY AND A HAZARD THEN? DEFINITELY.
OUR RECOMMENDATION IS TO REMOVE IT SERVED BECAUSE IT IS A LIABILITY.
AGAIN, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE BUILDING TECHNIQUES WERE USED.
WHAT MATERIAL FOR USE CONCRETE IS VERY DIFFERENT WHEN YOU POUR IT.
UH, IT VARIES THE GREATS OF CONCRETE THAT THEY USE, THE TYPE OF REBAR THAT THEY USE.
IF THEY USE MESH, IT'S ALREADY FRACTURED.
SO, UH, WE WOULD HAVE TO DO A LOT OF WORK ON THAT TO BRING IT BACK UP TO SPEC.
SO YOUR RECOMMENDATION IS TO GET RID OF IT.
THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO IS LESSEN THEIR FIELD SPACE BECAUSE THAT'S ONE OF THE VERY FEW AREAS THAT WE HAVE LIGHTED HERE IN THE CITY.
SO MY ASSUMPTION IS YOU'RE LOOKING AT A GOOGLE MAP OF THE SITE AND YOU CAN SEE THE OVERALL THE ISSUE IS WE HAVE RIGHT NOW, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ABOUT THREE SPORTS GOING ON, INCLUDING SOCCER, NFL, AND BASEBALL.
AND IT'S A HUGE ISSUE TO HAVE PRACTICE AREAS HERE IN THE CITY.
SO IT'S A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS.
AND I MEAN, AT THAT POINT WE HAVE ABOUT MAYBE FOUR DIFFERENT TEAMS GOING ON IN THAT TINY LITTLE FIELD AND THEN SOME ACROSS THE STREET.
AND IT IS ONE OF THE FEW PARKS THAT ARE LIGHTED HERE IN THE CITY, ALONG WITH NOW SOUTH PARK.
BUT EVEN THEN IT'S JUST THE FIRST FRONT LAWN.
THAT'S ACTUALLY THE RIGHT AND NOT THE BACK.
SO YEAH, I MEAN, I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH COMPLAINTS FOR YEARS ABOUT THAT.
SO I DON'T WANT TO LIMIT THAT SPACE.
YOU KNOW, THE PLAN IS TO RE REPLACE IT AT THE SAME LOCATION.
IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S A BARBECUE GRILL RIGHT NEXT TO IT.
VERY FAMILIAR WITH THAT PARK THAT IT WAS THERE 50 YEARS AGO.
SO, AND ONCE WE BUILT A PAVILION, PART OF IT, WE'LL INCLUDE A LIGHTING FOR IT UNDERNEATH IT, SO.
CAN WE ALSO LOOK INTO THE LIGHTING AT THE BASEBALL FIELD? I KNOW WE HAVE THE LITTLE BABY FOR YOU, UM, FEEL THAT WE HAD BUILT LAST YEAR BEFORE.
UM, SO I KNOW WE HAD THAT ISSUE SOMETIMES WITH THE SCHEDULING,
[00:25:01]
IT WOULD GET CUT OFF.AND THAT'S THE, YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH LIGHTING THERE.
THERE'S A LINE THAT RUNS BEHIND THE RESTAURANTS THAT IS BEING FORCED DOWN BY A TREE WHERE WE PUT A CALL TO AP BECAUSE THAT'S AN AP ISSUE.
LIKE I KNOW WE HAVE THOSE POLLS RIGHT NOW, AND IT'S ABOUT SIX LIGHTS THAT GO INTO EACH FIELD.
IS THERE A WAY TO BACKEND IT AND MAYBE PUT SOME BACK LIGHTS INTO IT, WE CAN SPEAK WITH ADP, WE CAN APPROACH YOU ABOUT THAT ROOM.
THAT'S WHAT I THINK WOULD CAUSE THAT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST ONES AND IT'S NEITHER EXCELLENT ANDROGEN.
AND THERE'S THE LANDRUM PARKING AGAIN? UH, WE WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE, WE HAVE TO UTILIZE A LOCAL ENGINEER TO, TO HELP US WITH THESE DRAWINGS BECAUSE THESE ARE CDBG FUNDS.
WE'RE UNABLE TO USE BY BOARD OR ONE OF THE CO-OPS WE HAVE TO BID IT OUT.
SO IT IS TIME CONSUMING AND, AND EVEN ENGINEERING SERVICES AND SURVEYS.
IT JUST TAKES US A WHILE TO GET THESE GUYS ON THESE PROJECTS.
BUT, UH, THE COST ESTIMATES ARE COMING IN HIGHER THAN THE ALEC MONEY ALLOCATED.
AGAIN, WE WOULD COME TO THE CITY COMMISSION TO HAVE THOSE ADDITIONAL FUNDS.
YOU'VE GOT A GRANT WHICH IS THE CDBG FUNDS, AND NOW YOU'RE BRINGING IN WHATEVER MATCHING FUND TO, TO CLOSE THE PROJECT.
AND, UH, THE FREDDY FENDER, UH, IT'S BEEN SOMETHING THAT, UH, SOME FROM SOME OLD BOND MONIES THAT WE WERE CONSIDERING, THE, THE CEMETERY, UH, HAS BEEN IMPORTANT TO US, NOT ONLY THE FREDDY FENDER SIDE, BUT ALSO TO PROTECT THOSE GRANTED, UH, MONUMENTS THAT YOU SEE THERE.
UM, AND THE GROWTH THAT WE'VE GOT, BUT ALSO TO PUT A CANOPY, WILL WE MAY ENCROACH ON SOME OF THE PLOTS ON THE INSIDE OF THE CEMETERY.
SO THEREFORE WE, WE WENT TO HOW WE'RE GOING TO ANCHOR WHERE WE'RE GOING TO ANCHOR TO.
SO IT'S NOT AS EASY AS THE, UH, FOR EXAMPLE, THE HA THE, THE, THE AMPHITHEATER BETTER WIND CELLS.
THIS IS A STRUCTURE THAT'S GOING TO GO OVER THIS THING, LITTLE OVER COMPLICATED.
WE ALSO HAVE PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS, UH, TO IMPROVE THE FENCING, NOT ONLY ALONG THE NEW CEMETERY, BUT THE ULTIMATE TERRY IMPROVED GATES.
WHEN WE DID HAVE, WE'LL PUT UP LIGHTING AT THE ENTRANCE OF WE'LL BE ABLE TO SEE VEHICLES COMING IN AND GOING, AND WE'LL ALSO PUT UP A, UH, A CAMERA SYSTEM BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF CONTINUE TO HAVE VANDALISM PEOPLE BREAKING IN BEING AT THAT SIDE, DRIVING ALONG THE DITCH, THE DRAINAGE CHANNEL, UH, ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE, ALONG THE OLD CEMETERY TO GET IN THERE FOR ANY UNKNOWN REASONS I COULDN'T FATHOM, BUT WE HAVE THOSE.
UH, AND THEN WE HAVE VEHICLES THAT ARE INSIDE TRYING TO GET OUT, DRIVING THROUGH OUR GATES.
SO WE NEED TO CAPTURE THOSE ON VIDEO AND SEE WHO'S DAMAGING ARE THESE ASSETS OF THE CITIES, BUT THE INTENT IS NOT JUST AFRAID OF HIM TO MEMORIAL, BUT THE WHOLE CEMETERY, BOTH CEMETERIES ARE GOING TO GET SOME SPRUCE AND SOME LIGHTING AND CAMERAS OFF THE GATE, OR THE FENCE IS COMING AT A LATER TIME.
UH, THE GATE, WELL, IT WON'T BE TOO MUCH LONGER.
THAT'LL BE A LITTLE BIT EASIER.
THIS HAS BEEN, THIS IS THE CHALLENGE IS GETTING THIS.
UH, THE REST OF IT IS CAUSED, IS COSMETIC.
THE INTENT IS, UH, AND I, AS YOU MIGHT RECALL, WHEN WE CLOSED THE CEMETERIES, WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE AUTOMATED GATES, UM, OPEN ANYTIME ALL THE EMPLOYEES HAS TO DO OR EMPLOYEES THAT WE ASSIGN, OR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT GO BY AT THE EVENINGS, CLOSE THE GATES NEXT, THEY OPEN THEM UP.
AND THAT WAY THEY'RE OPEN HOLIDAYS ARE OPEN WEEKENDS.
IT IS OPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT, UH, THE IDEA IS THAT WE NEED TO HAVE EYES UP THERE, WHICH IS WHY WE'RE WE NEED THAT CAMERA SYSTEM.
DO YOU HAVE ANY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON UPDATES AT PARKS OR ANY OF THE PARK? THIS IS ENCOMPASSING EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE WORKING ON? NO, I THINK THE FIRST RESPONDER PARK WAS AN AGENDA.
SO COULD WE GET, WE HAVE AN UPDATE ALSO.
SORRY, MAYOR, CAN WE GET AN UPDATE ON THE, ON THE SWIMMING POOL AND THE PARK OVER THERE? YEAH.
THAT, UH, THE PUBLIC WORKS, CREWS ARE DONE BREAKING IT UP.
WE JUST HAVE TO REMOVE ALL THAT STUFF FROM THERE.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH DONE.
AND COMMISSIONER GALVAN, WE HAD, UH, FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ATTENDED AT THE TML ANNUAL CONFERENCE IN OCTOBER IN HOUSTON, UH, THERE WAS A COMPANY THAT DOES, UM, SKATE PARKS.
I'VE HAD NUMEROUS QUESTIONS FROM, UH, SOME OF YOU ABOUT SKATE PARKS THAT IS INTENDED.
WE BELIEVE THAT THAT SITE, IT WOULD BE THE BEST SITE FOR A FUTURE SKATE PARK.
SO WE HAVE THAT CONVERSATIONS.
THEY SENT SOME, SOME PRELIMINARY NUMBERS.
UH, THOSE NUMBERS ARE STILL VERY HIGH.
UH, WE NEED TO REALLY GET WHAT WE CAN AND THEN KIND OF WORK IT OUT AND WORK OUT WHAT WE CAN FACE OR FACE IN THE, THE IMPROVEMENT OF THAT, THAT SITE WITH A FUTURE SKATE PARK.
AND THAT MAY INCLUDE ALSO, UH, GOING OUT FOR GRANTS.
IN OTHER WORDS, PHASE ONE MAY BE SOMETHING WE SHOW THAT WE'RE WORKING AT IT.
WE DO IN KIND AND MAYBE DO BETTER ON THE SCORE WITH A PARKS AND OR EVEN IN VALLEY BAPTIST OR SOMEBODY, THESE TYPE OF WELLNESS PROGRAMS, UH, FOUNDATIONS THAT HELP WITH THESE KINDS OF THINGS.
I THINK THAT EVEN THE PEOPLE FROM THE SCAPE THAT BOTH ESCAPERS HAVE THEIR OWN GRANTS OR WHERE TO WORK.
I REMEMBER I SPOKE TO THEM RESEARCHING SEVERAL, AND THEY DEAL WITH THAT DO IS THEY WILL HELP US WITH GETTING HIS INFORMATION AND GETTING THE APPLICATION FIELD.
[00:30:01]
BUT I MEAN, THAT'S THE EXTENT THEY KNOW WHERE THEY'RE AT, BUT, UH, THEY DON'T HELP YOU WITH THE FUNDING AND STUFF.THEY, THEY PUT YOU IN FRONT, FORGET US TO THE DOOR, THEIR PLANS.
A LOT OF TIMES THEY HAVE THESE TEMPLATES THEY CAN PROVIDE, BECAUSE REMEMBER YOU'RE NOT PAYING FOR THE ENGINEERING UPFRONT BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY THEIR TEMPLATE, BUT YOU'RE PAYING THEM ON THE BACK END BECAUSE YOU'RE PAYING FOR IT WHEN YOU DO THAT CONSTRUCTION.
I RECALL THAT, THAT THEY, THEY GET US TO THE DOOR, BUT IT'S OUR JOB TO GET ACROSS IT.
SO WE ARE WORKING AND WE HAVE HAD, UH, WE'RE IN CONTACT WITH THAT GROUP, RIGHT.
GOING BACK TO THE CEMETERY, UM, WHAT YOU'RE DESCRIBING AS THOUGH A COVER OR, WELL, SORT OF LIKE A GAZEBO, UH, STYLE, UH, COVER, IT WOULD BE MUCH LARGER THAN I CAN SAY.
WE ARE, OBVIOUSLY THAT WOULD COVER THE MONUMENT THAT MONUMENT IN THE GRANITE.
SO IT, IT WOULD BE QUITE A LARGE STRUCTURE.
IT'S ABOUT 57 FEET IN DIAMETER.
SO THAT'S THE TOP IS A FULL COVER.
IT'D BE MADE AT A, UM, OUR RECOMMENDATION IS TO DO A STEEL, UH, BECAUSE OF THE HIGH WINDS.
UH, IT IS IN A WIDE, WIDE OPEN AREA.
SO IT'S, UH, WINSTON TO HIT IT A LOT HARDER.
WHEN DID YOU HAVE NOTHING TO OBSTRUCT THAT? RIGHT.
HOW LONG HAS THE MONUMENTS BEEN THERE? UM, BUT, UH, UH, ABOUT 12 YEARS.
YOU WOULD KNOW BETTER THAN I WOULD COMMISSION IDENTICAL, BUT WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT WE WE'VE HAD, UM, THE GROUT IN BETWEEN THE GRANITE WHERE THEY MEET.
I SEE, I SEE A LITTLE BIT OF A DETERIORATION ALREADY, SO YEAH.
WE'VE DONE REPAIRS TO MAINTAIN IT, BUT IT'S IT, IT'S A FIGHTING, IT'S A BATTLE THAT WE NEED A BETTER PROTECTION ON THIS.
WE'RE LOSING ANYWAY, VERY COPY OF HER SITE.
UH, ANY GIVEN DAY, YOU'LL GO BY THERE AND SEE PEOPLE THERE.
I I'VE SEEN PEOPLE AND I'VE HEARD OF PEOPLE, UH, RELATIVES AND FRIENDS THAT DO GO THERE JUST TO VISIT THE MEMORIAL.
ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO PRESERVE IT, UH, AND THAT WILL BECOME, I, IT IS ALREADY A DESTINATION, BUT I THINK THAT ONCE WE DO THAT, IT WILL BE A MUCH MORE RECOGNIZED DESTINATION, YOU KNOW, AND WE GOT TO LIVEN IT UP A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE IT'S A POWER WASH MAYBE NEEDED OR SOME TYPE OF MAINTENANCE.
WELL, I HAVE BOTH OF YOU HERE.
CAN WE ALSO LOOK INTO THE PARKING LOT THERE AT STOOKEY PARK? UM, I KNOW THE NUMBERS WE'VE GOTTEN HAVE BEEN OUTRAGED, BUT EVEN IF WE COULD AT LEAST GET SOME FILLING IN TO SOME OF THOSE POTHOLES, CAUSE THEY'VE GOT HORRIBLE ALL OVER.
I MEAN, THERE'S SOME POTHOLES THAT ARE JUST LIKE FEET WIDE.
AND MY BIGGEST FEAR IS A CAR HITS.
IT LOSES CONTROL AND HITS A CHILD.
CAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S FULL AS EVER.
SO EVEN IF IT'S A SIMPLE FILL, WE WON'T DO AN OVERLAY, BUT WE CAN DO A SCRAPING AND THEN FILL IN ALL THE REST SPOTS, UH, DURING THE THEY'RE SETTING UP KIDS.
THAT'S GOING TO BE A MR. VASQUEZ RIGHT OVER THERE BECAUSE I'M LOOKING FOR IT, THEN IT SENDS IT THE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, IT'S, UH, IT BRINGS HIM FINANCE TO THE CITY.
BASEBALL, PARKS, EVERY SINGLE EVENT THAT THERE.
SO I KNOW THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, WE GOT RID OF THE SWIMMING POOL, GIVE SOME MORE AREA.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO BE MORE FOR, FOR FIELDS OR FOR PARKING.
IT WAS CITY MANAGERS DISCUSSED THAT THAT WOULD BE THE SITE THAT WE WOULD USE FOR THE FUTURE SKATEPARK.
SO THAT'S GOING TO BE, LIKE I SAID, THERE'S A LOT OF AREAS THAT, THAT NEED ATTENTION.
AND, UH, THAT WAS ONE THING THAT I HAD BEEN TELLING THEM ALSO, UM, THAT THE STINGER ALLOWED THE DRAIN DITCHES TO GET RID OF THE WATER ARE ALL COVERED UP UNTIL THE WATER DOES NOT LEAVE.
IT STAYS STAGNANT AND IT DETERRED EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE.
SO, UM, I WILL BE TALKING TO THE CITY MANAGER AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO BE ABLE TO OPEN UP ALL THOSE DRAIN DITCHES ON BOTH SIDES OF STINGER AND GET RID OF THOSE WATERS OF THERE.
SO WE CAN LOOK AT THE, UH, EVERY SINGLE PARKING AREA THERE AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO.
UH, CURRENTLY, UH, AND WE ARE, WE ARE CURRENTLY THE S THE CREWS HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED TO TAKE OUT TO TACKLE YOS ROAD FROM SAM HOUSTON TO FIVE 10 HAD HER CONVERSATION WITH MR. VASQUEZ LAST FRIDAY.
SO, UH, THEY'VE GOT A COUPLE OF PROJECTS AHEAD, BUT TH TH THEY'RE, UH, THEY HAVE ALL OF THESE PROJECTS ALREADY IN FRONT OF THEM.
SO, AND COMMISSIONER GARCIA, THE MONUMENT WENT IN ABOUT TWO PLUS OR MINUS 2008.
I THINK HE LOOKED IT UP ON GOOGLE.
[00:35:02]
OKAY.IS THERE, NOW THAT WE'RE TALKING OR JUST, I'VE BEEN TO SEVERAL MONUMENTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, A LOT OF THEM DON'T HAVE SHADED STRUCTURES.
SO WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT THE MATERIAL THEY'RE USING THIS MATERIAL WE USED HERE? IS THERE SOME TYPE OF LACQUER THAT, OR A PROXY WE CAN JUST PLACE OVER TO PROTECT IT LONGER VERSUS A FULLY SHADED AREA? UM, THEY'VE TRIED USING CHEMICALS IN THE PAST, UH, AND, UH, IT WAS, UH, IT DIDN'T WORK OUT.
UM, ACTUALLY IT, UH, CAUSED SOME DAMAGE TO THEM, TO THE STONE.
UH, THEY HAD TO DO LOT OF WORK AFTER THAT TO GET THAT CHEMICAL ERA, THE STONE.
UH, SO OUR OWN, THE BEST THING WE CAN DO IS TO COVER IT, TO GIVE THE SUN FROM DETERIORATING.
IT ALSO, IT INCREASES THE APPEAL.
WHEN YOU HAVE VISITORS COMING, THEY CAN ACTUALLY SIT IN THE SHADE OR STAY IN THE SHADE FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME.
UH, YOU SEE PEOPLE OUT THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER, 110 DEGREES.
SO IT'S NOT ALL IT IS TO PROTECT THE MONUMENT, BUT ALSO TO INCREASE THE APPEAL.
AND LIKE THE CITY MANAGER SAYS IT'S BECOMING A DESTINATION AND THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO DO.
ANY OTHER QUESTION COMPARATORS? NOPE.
[9. Consideration and possible action to approve the City of San Benito Schedule of Events for the calendar year 2022.]
EDIT NUMBER NINE.CONSIDERATION POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE THE CITY.
SOME OF THOSE SCHEDULE EVENTS, UH, FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR 2022, AND MS. NIKKI'S HIRANO PERCENT, THIS ITEM, GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS NIKKI'S O'DONNELL PARKS AND RECREATION, SPECIAL PROJECTS PLANNER FOR THE RECORD BEFORE YOU IS A LIST OF EVENT DATES FOR THE 2022 CALENDAR YEAR FOR YOUR APPROVAL.
THE LIST INCLUDES COMMUNITY EVENTS, SUCH AS RASAKA CITY FOOD COURT AND THE CITY'S MUSIC FESTIVALS.
EACH OF THESE EVENTS CONTRIBUTE TO THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF OUR RESIDENTS AND VISITORS BY PROVIDING FAMILY FRIENDLY ENTERTAINMENT AND ACTIVITIES.
OUR MUSIC FESTIVALS ALSO HIGHLIGHT SOMEBODY'S PHIL'S HISTORY AND UNIQUE MUSICAL HERITAGE.
WE STRIVE TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY AND PROMOTE OUR GREAT CITY THROUGH THESE EVENTS, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL, AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS, MAYOR COMMISSIONERS, IF I MAY ADDRESS YOU, THE, UH, THIS CALENDAR IS THE ONE I SENT YOU PREVIOUSLY, IT WAS PROPOSED AT THE TIME, UM, YOU KNOW, THE MUSIC FESTIVAL.
SO THE ONES THAT ARE MOST IMPORTANT TO US, BECAUSE WE NEED TO START, UH, LOOKING AT THE, UH, THE LINEUP OF THE BANDS.
AND SO, AND START LOCKING THOSE THINGS IN.
UM, I'VE HAD NUMEROUS CONVERSATIONS WHEN IT COMES TO THE FOOD COURT.
WE DID REACH OUT LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, ON THE 10TH OR TREAT, OR THE HALLOWEEN ON THE FIELD WITH THE LAW ENFORCEMENT.
WE DID SPEAK WITH THE LOCAL CONSTABLE AND, AND CHOSE ON THAT DATE.
BUT FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN WE GET DOWN TO DECEMBER THE THIRD, WE JUST LOOKED AT THAT COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS AND TREE LIGHTING, AND THEN A WEEK LATER, UH, WE'RE, WE'RE TRYING TO CHANGE SOME OF THOSE EVENTS MAKE THEM LONGER, MAKE THEM MORE FAMILY FRIENDLY.
SO THEY MAY CHANGE A LITTLE BIT TO THAT.
UM, THERE HAS BEEN DISCUSSION THAT AT ONE TIME OR IN THE FUTURE, THAT WE WOULD PROBABLY LIKE TO HAVE AN EVENT ON ROBERTSON STREET IN FRONT OF THE AZTECA BUILDING, UTILIZING THE FENCE SCENARIO AS OUR, UH, ADULT BEVERAGE AREA AND STAGE OUT IN FRONT OF, BY THE BRIDGE AND CLOSE OFF THAT WITH MAYBE, UH, THE MARKET STREET DAYS OR JUST A STREET CLOSURE, BUT IT WAS, IS TO BRING MORE RECOGNITION TO ROBERTSON STREET.
SO THE IDEA, SO WE'RE JUST TRYING TO GET THESE ON OUR CALENDAR, LOOKING AT HOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE EVENTS THAT WERE NOT IN CONFLICT WITH OTHER COMMUNITIES, BUT AGAIN, UH, THE, CERTAINLY THE, UH, THE HOGWASH MODEL, THE SOUTH TEXAS MUSIC FESTIVAL WERE IMPORTANT AND WE NEEDED TO START GETTING THOSE, THOSE DATES.
SO WE WON'T BE RUSHING AT THE LAST MINUTE TRYING TO FIND A DECENT LINEUP OR SOME, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT PAYING A LOT FOR THE BANDS.
IT'S GETTING QUALITY GROUPS AND SCHEDULING WAY, WAY OUT.
SO, UH, AND AGAIN, THEY'RE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITH YOUR APPROVAL AND THEY'RE SUBJECT TO, WE WOULD ADD MORE EVENTS.
THIS IS NOT ALL OF THEM, BUT, UM, UM, IF YOU ALLOCATE MORE FUNDS, WE CAN HAVE MORE, MORE EVENTS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I'M SURE.
I WAS JUST NOTICING SOME LIKE, UM, THE POLICE NIGHT OUT AND THEN THE TRASH BASH DAY.
THOSE ARE STILL EVENTS, BUT IN DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS, RIGHT? THAT'S CORRECT.
AND THAT THAT'LL BE COMING OUT SOON.
I KNOW THEY GAVE ME THE DAY AND IT LEADS ME IN AND UNLESS I GET DAVID TO TELL ME, BUT WE WERE ALREADY WORKING ON THOSE BASH.
UH, WE'VE ALREADY GOT A DATE CAUSE WE'VE ALREADY WORKED IT OUT WITH THE REPUBLIC SERVICES.
I'VE GOT A MOTION BY A MAYOR PRO TEM SECOND BY A COMMISSIONER.
WE HAVE FRANCO ALL IN FAVOR, ANY OPPOSED MOTION PASSES.
[00:40:01]
YOU.MA'AM DO YOU REMEMBER CERTAIN CONSIDERATION
[10. Consideration and possible action to approve the purchase of seven Apple 12. 9 iPad Pro tablets for the San Benito Police Department from Verizon Wireless for the total amount of$8,399.93.]
POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF A SEVEN APPLE 12.9 IPAD PRO TABLETS FOR THE CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT FROM A VERIZON WIRELESS FOR THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF $8,399 AND 93 CENTS AND A POLICE CHIEF PRESENTED THE CENTER.GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, MAYOR PRO TEM AND COMMISSIONERS POLICE CHIEF.
MIGHT'VE BEEN AFTER THE RECORD.
THIS ITEM IS A REQUEST TO PURCHASE SEVEN APPLE, 12.9 IPAD PRO TABLETS FROM VERIZON WIRELESS.
THESE TABLETS WILL BE USED TO REPLACE SEVEN OF OUR SIX GENERATION IPADS THAT THE PATROL OFFICERS ARE CURRENTLY USING WHILE ON PATROL.
THEY USE THESE IPADS TO ACCESS OUR MOBILE COMPUTER AIDED DISPATCH AND OUR RECORDS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR REPORTS.
THE FUNDS WILL, THE FUNDS FROM THIS PURCHASE WILL COME FROM THE CORONAVIRUS RELIEF FUNDS STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.
I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
CAN WE SHOW HER ANY QUESTIONS? CAUSE THAT WAS MY QUESTION.
WHO WAS IT FUNDING COMING FROM? BUT YOU ALREADY TOLD ME WELL, SHE TO APPROVE.
I GOT A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER VIA FRANKLIN SECOND BY AMERIPRO TIM.
ALL IN FAVOR, ANY OPPOSED MOTION PASSES.
[11. Consideration and possible action to approve the purchase of two 2022 Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicles from Boswell-Elliff Ford for the total amount of $69,106.80.]
LIVE IN CONSIDERATION POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF 2 20 22 FOR THE POLICE INTERCEPTORS OR UTILITY VEHICLES FROM A BOSWELL ELLA FORD FOR THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF $69,106 AND 80 CENTS.AND POLICE CHIEF PRESENTED GOOD FOR THE RECORD POLICE CHIEF MIGHT'VE PUT HERE THAT IT MAY BE FOUR YEARS REQUEST TO PURCHASE 2 20 22 FOR POLICE INTERCEPTOR UTILITY VEHICLES FROM BOSWELL, ELIF BASEL LF IS A MEMBER OF THE TIPS PURCHASING CO-OP.
THESE TWO VEHICLES WERE REPLACED TWO OF THE THREE FORD CROWN VICTORIAS THAT ARE, THAT ARE IN OUR CURRENT FLEET ROTATION.
WE HAVE USED A CROWN VICTORIAS FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 YEARS, AND I FEEL THAT THESE NEW POLICE INTERCEPTORS, IF APPROVED WILL BE A MUCH NEEDED UPGRADE, THE FUNDS FROM THIS PURCHASE WILL COME FROM THE CORONAVIRUS RELIEF FUND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL, AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
SO I THINK THERE'S STILL, I THINK THEY SHOW SOME, I WAS JUST KIDDING.
UM, WE, UM, WE APPROVED, WAS IT FIVE, UH, AT THE END OF 2020 CORRECT COMMISSION.
SO THIS IS GOING TO ADD TWO MORE TO YOUR CURRENT FLEET.
SO HOW MANY MORE CHROMEBOOKS DO YOU HAVE? UH, WE HAVE THREE THAT WE'RE STILL USING IT IN ACTIVE ROTATION.
UH, THE MILEAGE ON THEM OR, UH, ONE IS 157,652 MILES.
ANOTHER ONE'S 150, 4,863 MILES.
AND ONE IS ONE SEVENTY EIGHT, A HUNDRED SEVENTY 8,381 MILES.
AND RIGHT NOW I JUST FOUND OUT THAT ONE OF THE CROWN VICS, WHICH IS 1106, WENT DOWN WITH A TRANSMISSION.
SO, UH, WE HAVE, SO THESE ARE GONNA REPLACE THE ONES THAT YOU CURRENTLY HAVE ON ROTATION.
SO THIS, THIS WILL TAKE THE CROWN VICS OUT AND WE'LL START.
SO, SO THE OTHER FIVE ARE IN CURRENT ROTATION AS WELL WITH PATROL, CORRECT COMMISSIONER.
UM, MY QUESTION WAS JUST THAT WE TOUCHED ON IT BRIEFLY, BUT HAVE WE LOOKED AT THE HYBRID, MANNY, THIS IS MORE FOR YOU.
HAVE WE LOOKED AT THE HYBRID OPTION? I KNOW I WAS LOOKING AT FORD AND SEEING THERE'S A LITTLE BIT, IT MEANT INCREMENTAL COSTS, BUT THERE IS SOME GAS SAVINGS AND WITH GAS GOING THE WAY IT'S GOING, IS THAT EVER BEEN A THOUGHT IF THIS IS OUR ONE OPPORTUNITY TO UPGRADE OUR FLEET AND JUST TRY TO HYBRID, BUT WONDERING IF THAT'S BEEN A, AN IDEA I THOUGHT COMING TO KNOW, UH, I HAVEN'T LOOKED AT IT.
I DON'T BELIEVE I'VE EVEN ASKED THE CHIEF TO LOOK AT IT.
WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT WHEN I'VE READ THESE THINGS, THERE ARE STILL NOT POLICE VEHICLES THAT ARE UTILIZING THESE.
THERE ARE HYBRIDS THAT ARE BEING KIND OF PUT OUT BY TWO, CERTAIN AGENCIES IS, HEY, WILL YOU TRY MY CAR OUT? BUT THOSE ARE COMING FROM DEALERS GOING, YOU KNOW, AS A, UH, TO GET SOME, UH, EXPERIENCE WITH HOW THESE VEHICLES, IF YOU CAN, IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE, THOSE VEHICLES WITH ELECTRIC AND HOW THEY OPERATE A WOULD PROBABLY HELP ANSWER.
THE MY THING IS BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE OFFICERS ARE IDLING FOR QUITE A BIT WAITING FOR A TRAFFIC VIOLATION TO BE SEEN, RIGHT? SO THIS, THIS, THIS WILL, THIS SAVE US GAS.
DO YOU KNOW, WE SEE SOME SAVINGS THERE? I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU GUYS FEEL ABOUT THAT.
WE COULD CONSIDER LOOKING AT HYBRIDS.
HERE'S MY CONCERN ABOUT, UH, EVEN BATTERIES.
AND IF YOU LOOK AT JUST, UH, WHEN YOU START LOOKING AT WHETHER IT'S TESLA FORD F-150 IS NOW COMING OUT WITH THEIR BATTERY OPERATED VEHICLE, THAT'S GONNA, YOU KNOW, UH, KIND OF CHALLENGE WITH TESLA HAS, UH, THERE'S A RIATA R I B A T, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO THERE ARE VEHICLES HAVE TO BE, IT'S STILL THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THOSE BATTERIES AND THOSE REPLACEMENTS.
I THINK, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THEY'RE THAT THERE'S THAT KIND OF COST SAVINGS BECAUSE WHEN THEY GO DOWN THEY'RE DOWN AND THOSE THINGS, YOU DON'T REPLACE A BATTERY, YOU REPLACE ALL THE BATTERIES.
[00:45:01]
THOSE ALMOST MAKE IT SEEM COST PROHIBITED.SO, UM, COMMISSIONER JUST, UH, YOU KNOW, MY PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY, UH, I NEVER LIKED TO BE AT THE FOREFRONT OF TECHNOLOGY BECAUSE WHEN IT GOES BAD, YOU'RE THE GUY THAT GETS TO EVERYBODY, GETS TO LEARN FROM.
I'D LIKE TO SEE, UH, I LIKE YOU, SOMEBODY THAT CAN HAVE THAT HAS A LARGER FLEET PRACTICE ON THEIRS.
WE GET, IF YOU WANT TO BE IN THE FOREFRONT, YOU GET TO DECIDE THAT AND YOU GET TO INSTRUCT ME AND WE START LOOKING AT IT.
BUT THAT IS PART OF THE REASON I NEVER HAVE.
EVERY TIME I SEE A CITY THAT TRIES TO DO SOMETHING, TECHNOLOGY, GLEE, TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED MORE THAN OTHERS, THEY SEEM TO NOT SUCCEED.
OKAY, WELL MAYBE THERE'S PLENTY MORE, UH, IF WE, IF YOU LIKE IT, THE NEXT SETS OF PV, WE COULD TRY MAYBE TWO CARS, SOMETHING LIKE THAT, SOMETHING THAT FOR A TEST, BUT YOU KNOW, CHARGING STATIONS, THAT'S SOMETHING WE WOULDN'T NEED TO TEST THEM OUT, BUT AT A LOWER SCALE AND THE CARS ARE IDLING FOR SOME TIME.
YOU'RE ON 12 HOUR SHIFTS NOW, TOO.
SO I DON'T, I DON'T ASSUME YOU'RE GETTING A HUNDRED CALLS AT NIGHT.
YOU'RE JUST WAITING FOR THAT ONE CALL, BUT I DON'T KNOW, I'M NOT ON THE FIELD, BUT ANOTHER QUESTION, UM, THE OLD VEHICLES, ARE WE GOING TO TURN THOSE AROUND AND AUCTION THEM OFF QUICKLY OR GET RID OF THEM AND LIQUIDATE BECAUSE I HATE FOR OLD STUFF TO SIT AROUND.
I'VE SEEN IN THE PAST OLD STUFF JUST SITS AND SITS AND SITS AND WE LOSE VALUE ON IT.
SO WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR THAT? WE HAVE A THREE CROWN VIC SPECTER THAT HAD BEEN SCRAPPED.
UH, WE WERE USING PARTS FROM THERE TO REPLACE, UH, PARTS INTO THESE NEW CROWN VIC.
SO SOME OF THEM ARE, ARE JUST SHELLS.
SO IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE LOOKING AT IF WE CAN, UH, MAYBE EITHER SCRAP THEM FOR, FOR, UH, METAL STUFF LIKE THAT, SCRAP METAL, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING I NEED TO DISCUSS WITH THE CITY MANAGER.
THESE OTHER ONES THAT ARE, THAT DO HAVE MINOR THINGS THAT NEED TO GET FIXED.
WE DID USE THEM, UH, WHEN THE PARADE CAME AROUND, WE PUT THE, THE BETTER CARS ON PATROL, SO THEY CAN RESPOND TO CALLS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
AND SINCE THESE CARS WERE JUST GOING TO BE BLOCKING INTERSECTIONS, WE, WE FIX THEM UP AND WE WOULD PUT THEM OUT ON INTERSECTIONS.
AND THAT'S, THAT'S KIND OF A LITTLE BIT OF THE, OF THE GOAL THAT WE WANT TO DO IS GET THEM, UH, RUNNING ENOUGH WHERE IF WE HAVE EVENTS LIKE, UH, THE, THE, THE FESTIVALS, WE KEEP THE GOOD CARS ON THE ROAD, DO THEY CONTROL THE CITY? AND THEN WE USE THOSE CARS TO, FOR THE OFFICERS TO HEAD OUT THERE.
AND I MEAN, THEY, THEY STILL GET THE JOB DONE.
THEY'RE JUST NOT AS RELIABLE AS, AS THE NEW CARS, BUT, UH, IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN LOOK AT COMMISSIONER AND MAYOR AND FISHERS, UH, CHEAP, BETTER.
AND I ATTENDED THE CIVIL SERVICE WORKSHOP LAST THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
SO HE HAD TWO FULL DAYS OR TWO FULL EVENINGS TO LEARN EXACTLY WHAT MY EXPECTATIONS WERE.
SO HE CAME BACK, YOU KNOW, KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE WANTING.
IF WE WERE TO SAY NO TO THESE, AND YOU GO BACK AND TRY TO GET THE, YOU KNOW, HYBRID TORIAN THING, HOW FAST CAN YOU GET THEM? DO YOU GET THEM? WILL YOU BE ABLE TO GET THEM? AND RIGHT NOW, EVEN WITH THESE GAS ONES, IT'S UNPREDICTABLE.
THEY HAD TOLD US INITIALLY THEY COULD GET THEM BY MARCH AND THEN IT JUMPED TO SEPTEMBER AND THEN IT JUMPED BACK DOWN TO JUNE.
SO, UH, WHEN I WAS TALKING TO, UH, MR. GARCIA FROM BOB BOSWELL, IF HE SAYS, HEY, IF I PUT IN, IF I PUT IN THE ORDER, NOW I GET THEM BY JUNE, YOU CAN GO TO OTHER PLACES AND THEY MIGHT HAVE THEM ALREADY ON THE YARD AND WE CAN GET THEM, BUT THEY'RE GOING TO COME AT A HIGHER COST.
AND THEN, UH, HYBRIDS, I WOULDN'T KNOW.
THEY, THEY MIGHT, THEY MIGHT HAVE THEM.
BUT WHEN I LOOKED INTO, UH, UH, ANOTHER EMAIL THAT I GOT FROM A DIFFERENT VENDOR, THEY, THEY WERE ALREADY LOOKING AT THE 20, 23 MODELS.
THEY WEREN'T EVEN OFFERING 20, 20 TWOS ANYMORE.
SO IT'S, IT'S ONE OF THOSE DEALS WITH THE MARKET RIGHT NOW, WITH THE WAY THE VEHICLES THAT ARE AT THE AVAILABILITY OF THEM, IT'S IT'S HIT OR MISS IT, YOU MIGHT GET SOMETHING, OR YOU MIGHT NOT.
I'M JUST ASKING YOU, BUT JUST SO THAT THE, THE CITIZENS CAN KNOW, OKAY, JUST IF THEY'RE HAVING ANY QUESTIONS, AT LEAST, YOU KNOW, YOUR, YOUR, YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY IS ASKING THE QUESTION, WE WEREN'T AT THE, OH, YOU GUYS NEED THEM BY.
SO, AND WE'LL DO OUR HOMEWORK, WHETHER THE NEXT PURCHASE OR EVEN THIS ONE, THE IDEA IS THAT IF, IF, IF THE NEXT TIME, UH, WHEN WE PRESENT SOMETHING, WE'LL PRESENT BOTH OPTIONS, BUT REMEMBER IT, IT'S GOING TO REQUIRE CHARGING STATIONS AND OTHER, WHATEVER THOSE COSTS ARE.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT, BUT IF WE DON'T MOVE FORWARD ON THIS WE'RE MONTHS OUT IS IT IS, YEAH.
THEY'RE JUST HOLDING IT UNTIL IT PASSES MEETING BECAUSE OF NOT, THEY REALLY WANTED AN ANSWER LAST WEEK.
AND I TOLD THEM, WELL, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT GOING TO RATIFY, SEDATE SOMETHING, ISN'T THIS COSTLY.
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE WALK IT THROUGH.
SO, UH, AND IF YOU DO IT NOW, WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WE'RE DOING AND WE'RE GOING TO BE, WE'RE GOING TO LOSE OUT ON THIS ORDER WITH THIS DEALERSHIP.
WHAT I WOULD JUST SUGGEST THIS, MAYBE YOU MIGHT HAVE YOUR, YOUR NETWORK OF OTHER POLICE OFFICERS IN OTHER CITIES.
SEE IF THEY HAVE A HYBRID POOL AND SEE WHAT THEIR GAS COSTS, IF, IF THEY CAME DOWN DRAMATICALLY AND WHAT THE COST SAVINGS WERE, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE YOUR BEST RESOURCE VERSUS TRYING TO CRUNCH SOME NUMBERS ON A COMPUTER.
[00:50:01]
YOU SOMETHING REALLY NICE, RIGHT.BUT THERE'S, THERE'S DIFFERENT THINGS THAT COME INTO A FACTOR.
BUT JUST, MAYBE YOU HAVE A NETWORK THAT YOU CAN, HEY, WHAT IS YOUR HYBRID POOL LOOK LIKE? AND WHAT ARE YOUR COSTS? HAVE YOUR COSTS COME DOWN, ACTUALLY.
AND I KNOW THEY'RE PRETTY PRICEY, BUT NEW YORK CITY, I THINK JUST PURCHASED A 65 OF THOSE NEW, I THINK THE MUSTANG, THE MONKEES, AND I THINK THEY RAN ABOUT 68 OR 65,000 EACH VEHICLE ON THOSE.
SO THOSE ARE A LITTLE BIT OF AN UPGRADE ON THE, YEAH.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? NO.
SO YOU GOT THE COMMISSIONER VIA FRANCO AND SECOND BY COMMISSIONER GARCIA, ALL IN FAVOR.

COMMERCIAL ARE, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE CAPTAINS, THE CAPTAINS ARE DATING.
ARE THEY GOING TO BE USED, UH, LIKE, UH, LIKE THE FIRST, UH, VEHICLE TO GET ON SCENE? THAT'S CORRECT.
SO THE WILL BE OFF THE UTILITY OR THAT'S PUMPED INTO THE SCHOOL.
WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S A DISTINCTION AND THEY'RE NOT RENT TAKEN ANOTHER EMERGENCY VEHICLE OR ANOTHER BRUSH TRUCK, UH, PUTTING MORE MILEAGE ON THE BRUSH TRUCKS AND PUTTING MONEY ON THE COMMAND TO, IN THERE.
FIRST I'VE SEEN THE BRUSH TRUCK OUT THERE AS FIRST ON THE SCENE.

IT'S THE, UH, IMMIGRANT SHELTER, UH, FACILITY THERE, UH, FOR CHILDREN.
SO, UH, IF YOU, WELL, MAYOR WE'LL OPEN UP THE, UH, THE FLOOR.

UH, UH, THE DIRECTOR OF RESIDENTIAL SERVICES FOR URBAN STRATEGIES, UH, ADDRESS IS 3, 3 8 63 CALIFORNIA ROAD IN LOS FRESNOS, TEXAS 7 8 5 6 6.
AND I AM FOR THIS REQUEST, UH, I WORKED WITH THE PREVIOUS AGENCY OR BEEN STRATEGIST CAME IN, TOOK OVER MANAGING EVERYTHING EXACTLY THE SAME, UH, THE SAME WAY IT WAS BEFORE WE UNDERSTAND THE SENSITIVITY WITH THE PARKING ISSUE AND ALL OF THAT.
AND THE STAFF ARE AWARE YOU HAVE THE SAME PROGRAM DIRECTOR.
THAT'S BEEN RUNNING THAT FACILITY FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS.
SO WE'RE HOPING YOU GUYS WANT TO GROUP IT WITH IT.
MIRA COMMISSIONERS, THE FORMER OCCUPANT, A COMPREHENSIVE H UH, COMPREHENSIVE
[01:10:01]
HEALTH SERVICES INCORPORATED KNOWN AS CHS OBTAINED THEIR, A CUP BACK IN SEPTEMBER ON SEPTEMBER 4TH, 2018, SO THAT THEIR THERE PRIOR, UH, IT'S IT'S ALWAYS HAD A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.THEY'RE HAVING TO GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN A CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP AND THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY TRANSFER.
UM, WE STILL HAD OPEN HEARINGS.
SO ANYBODY ELSE? DO YOU WANT ME TO CLOSE IT DOWN? NO MORE ANY ANYMORE.
THE TIME IS SIX 40 AND A CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING.
THAT WAS JUST A COMMENT I NEED YOU TO, WOULD THEY WORK BEFORE? THANK YOU.
ANY QUESTIONS COMMISSIONERS THAT THE GENTLEMEN MET MENTIONED A PARKING ISSUE AT ONE TIME, ESPECIALLY DURING THE ELECTIONS, UH, ELECTION PERIODS.
UM, A LOT OF THE EMPLOYEES WILL PARK A LONG HAYWOOD STREET, WHICH IS A PUBLIC ROADWAY.
IT'S NOT AN EMPLOYEE PARKING AREA.
SO, UH, WE HAVE A RELATIONSHIP THAT WE ASKED THEM NOT TO HAVE THEIR EMPLOYEES PARK THERE RATHER THAN MAKE IT MANDATORY, UH, BECAUSE AS IT IS, IT IS A PUBLIC IN THAT PARKING IS FOR, WELL IT'S REALLY NEEDED.
SO WE CAN HAVE THE, UH, UH, THE VISITORS TRYING TO CHAMPION THEIR, THEIR DELEGATES AT THE ELECTION POLLS.
WELL, NOT JUST THAT TIME OF THE YEAR, BUT THAT IS A PUBLIC USE FACILITY.
AND THE MUSEUMS THERE AS WELL.
YES, THEY DON'T GENERALLY PARK BY, IN FRONT OF OUR FACILITIES.
SOMETIMES WE NEED BOTH SIDES OF THE ROADWAY YOU'RE IN ELECTIONS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A PARKING LOT FOR THERE.
AND THAT HAS BEEN THE PROBLEM.
IT'S WITHIN THE SITE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BED.
IT'S NOT ENOUGH PARKING THAN NOT ENOUGH.
AS LONG AS THERE'S SOME TYPE OF A UNDERSTANDING, THERE'S AN EVENT GOING ON OR AN ELECTION OR SOMETHING.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT COULD BE WORKED OUT THIS LAST GROUP AND THIS, AND IT HAS, HAS BEEN A GOOD CORPORATE CITIZENS.
SO YEAH, ONCE YOU'RE GOING TO JAIL, THE QUESTION IS, IS THERE GOING TO BE A PROBLEM WITH NANCY, I GUESS THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM WITH SOME OF THE PARKING SPACES AND THAT CHANGING THEIR REQUIREMENT FOR A CERTAIN LEVEL PARKING CAPACITY FOR THESE, THESE BUSINESSES? IS THAT GOING TO BE AN ISSUE WHEN IT'S, UH, WHEN THEIR EXISTING SITES , ESPECIALLY IN ANY COMMUNITY AND MORE SPECIFICALLY IN SAN BENITO, UM, THERE'S ALREADY NOT ENOUGH PARKING FOR A LOT OF BUSINESSES IN TOWN.
SO WHEN IT'S ALREADY AN EXISTING BUSINESS, IT WOULD ONLY BECOME AN ISSUE.
IF THAT BUILDING IS, IS DEMOLISHED AND REBUILT, YOU GOTTA MEET THOSE STANDARDS.
RIGHT? SO FOR EXAMPLE, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY, IT COULD HAVE A FIRE IF MORE THAN 50% OF THE BUILDING IS DAMAGED, THE ENTIRE PROPERTY HAS TO BE BROUGHT UP TO THAT STANDARD.
SO THE PARKING IS VESTED WITH WHAT, WITH WHAT THAT IT HAS.
AGAIN, THE PUBLIC ROADWAY IS THAT THE CITY CAN DO A LOT OF THINGS WITH ITS OWN PUBLIC ROADWAYS AND PARKING AREAS.
THAT'S WHY THEY'RE GOOD CORPORATE CITIZENS.
THEY UNDERSTAND, AND THEY WORK WITH THIS, BUT, UH, W THESE, THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM THAT YOU REFERRED TO ON THE, ON THE PROPOSED CHANGES TO OUR DEVELOPMENT CODES WILL NOT AFFECT THIS DEVELOPMENT OR ANY OF THE DEVELOPMENT THAT IS CURRENTLY EXISTING OR ANY EXISTING BUILDINGS.
AND I ASSUME SINCE NOBODY CAME TO THE PUBLIC HEARING, THERE WAS NO, UM, NO ONE ANSWERED BACK TO THE LETTERS THAT WERE SENT OUT TO THE RESIDENTS IN THE AREA.
SO SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY, YOU'LL HAVE YOUR VOTING AT THE NEXT MEETING FOR A, UH, APPROVAL.
IT'LL COME WITH EVERY STAFF RECOMMENDATION.
THERE WAS NO PUBLIC HEARING HEALTH, NO NEGATIVE COMMENTS AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION WILL LIKELY BE THAT WE RECOMMEND THE APPROVAL SINCE WE'VE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES, NO OPPOSITION.
AND THEY'RE OPERATING TODAY WITHOUT A CONDITIONING.
THE PROPERTY IS ALREADY CHANGED HANDS AND WE HAVEN'T, WE HAVEN'T STOPPED THEM FROM OPERATING BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND, WE BELIEVE THAT IT'S GOING TO RESOLVE ITSELF.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY NO, BY THE WAY.
UH, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS COMMISSIONERS? NOPE.
THEN WE'LL MOVE FORWARD TO ADD A NUMBER 20.
[21. Public Hearing: To solicit input regarding adopting Development Standards to clarify certain sections, to update provisions to comply with recent changes in law and to codify policy as City Code. Applicant: City of San Benito.]
KNOW WHERE 21.I DIDN'T MEAN 21 PUBLIC HEARING DOES ELICIT THE REGARDING ADOPTION OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS OR TO CLARIFY CERTAIN SECTIONS
[01:15:01]
TO UPDATE PROVISIONS, TO COMPLY WITH A RECENT CHANGES OF LAW AND TO CODIFY POLICY S CITY CODE AFRICANS, THE CITY OF SAN BENITO AND, UH, MR. DELAROSA PRESENTED CENTER.THE, UH, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.
WE HAVE BEEN, UM, CONSIDERING CHANGES TO OUR DEVELOPMENT CODES.
OUR DEVELOPMENT CODES ARE, ARE IN VARIOUS CHAPTERS OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES.
MORE SPECIFICALLY, YOU MIGHT BE FAMILIAR WITH CHAPTER 10, WHICH IS THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE, WHICH REGULATES PLATS, UH, CHAPTER 14, REGULATE ZONING.
UH, AND THEN, THEN WE HAVE VARIOUS OTHERS THAT REGULATE UTILITIES AND CERTAIN OTHER REQUIREMENTS PARKING.
AND THOSE THINGS ARE IN CERTAIN PARTS OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE, CERTAIN EXHIBITS THAT EXISTS WITHIN THAT ORDINANCE.
UH, MORE SPECIFICALLY WE'VE, UM, WE'VE PROVIDED YOU A NOTEBOOK, UH, WITH SOME OF THE PROPOSED CHANGES.
IT INCLUDES, FOR EXAMPLE, WE'VE NOT HAD A REQUIREMENTS OR TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS.
IT'S VAGUELY STATED IN AREAS THAT THE CITY CAN ASK FOR A LOT OF THINGS WHEN IT COMES TO IT'S GOING TO AFFECT TRAFFIC.
WELL, HOW DO YOU DO THAT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS? NOW WE'VE DEFINED IT.
WE'RE LOOKING AT THE DRAINAGE, OUR DRAINAGE STANDARDS, OR 10 YEARS, USUALLY THE CITY SETS THE BAR AND THE COUNTY HAS A, HAS A LESSER STANDARD.
THE CA OUR OWN COUNTY HAS A 25 YEAR DETENTION POND REQUIREMENT AND A COMMAND SYSTEM THAT IS SLIGHTLY LESS THAN THAT.
UM, WE'RE PROPOSING THAT A DETENTION POND, UH, BE 25 YEARS, SAME AS THE COUNTIES, BUT THE COMMAND SYSTEM, UH, BE A 25 YEARS RATED, WHICH MEANS IT SHOULD CARRY ENOUGH CAPACITY TO GET IT OUT, TO GET IT OFF THE STREETS FASTER.
BECAUSE IF NOT, UH, YOU HAVE A BIGGER POND, BUT YOU'VE GOT A STRONG IT IN THERE INSTEAD OF THE LARGER CONDUIT, RIGHT? THESE ARE ENGINEERING, UH, DESIGNS, RIGHT? ENGINEERS WILL TELL YOU IT'LL WORK.
WHAT WE DO KNOW IS, AND LIBERTY ESTATES IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE.
THE PIPES ARE UNDER SIZE WHERE YOU WOULD AGREE WITH ME.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AN ENGINEER TO UNDERSTAND IT, TO BE A, THAT IT'S NOT GETTING OUT FAST ENOUGH.
WE RECOGNIZE THAT WE'VE HAD PROBLEMS AND WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT THESE STANDARDS.
SO WE, UH, WE ALSO DRAIN INTO THE COUNTY STRAINER SYSTEM.
WE'RE NOT EVEN REALLY RELEASING EDIT'S STANDARD THAT EVERYBODY RECOGNIZES IN CAMERON COUNTY.
SO WE'VE PROVIDED YOU THIS NOTEBOOK, UH, UH, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING TO GET INPUT, HOPEFULLY FROM DEVELOPERS, BUILDERS, THE DOMINANT COMMUNITY.
WE WANT THEM TO KNOW WHAT RACER COMMENTS AND THEY CAN COME MEET WITH US.
WE ARE HERE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, YOU KNOW, AND WE MEET WITH PEOPLE AFTER HOURS AND STUFF TO KIND OF MAKE THIS THING, BUT WE'VE ALSO, UH, PUT THIS INFORMATION ON THE CITY'S, UH, ON OUR WEBSITE.
UH, I CAN'T RECALL WHERE IT'S AT.
IT'S PROBABLY UNDER THE PLANNING FOR A DRAFT IT'S OUT THERE.
IT'S VERY SAME BOOK THAT YOU HAVE.
AND IF WE MAKE MORE CHANGES, BECAUSE, UH, SOMETIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE FIRST READING AND THE SECOND READING, BUT WE, WE NEED TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT, UH, WE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THE PLANNING PROCESS MUCH QUICKER.
FOR EXAMPLE, YOU JUST DID SOMETHING WITH TWO RESIDENTIAL LOGS, NO CHANGE TO OUR PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE.
WHY CAN'T WE DO IT AT AN ADMINISTRATIVE LEVEL INSTEAD OF TAKING IT THROUGH THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS AND EXPEDITING THOSE THINGS, WHICH IS A FAIRLY COMMON PRACTICE WITH A LOT OF OTHER CITIES.
SO WE'RE WORKING TOWARD THAT, RIGHT? IF YOU WERE A MUCH LARGER CITY, SOMETIMES YOU WOULDN'T EVEN BE SEEING THESE THINGS.
THEY WOULD BE HANDLED BY BOARDS OR STAFF.
WE WERE TRYING TO GET YOU UP THROUGH THAT EVOLUTION.
AND WE'RE TRYING, WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU THESE STANDARDS.
UM, AND AGAIN, MAYOR, IF YOU WILL OPEN IT FOR PUBLIC HEARING, OKAY, THANK YOU.
UH, TIME IS 6 49 OPENED FOR PUBLIC HEARING ANYBODY AND, UM, IT'S A 6 49 AND A CLOSED FOR PUBLIC HEARING.

THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING PERTAINING TO AEP SERVICE CENTER, A 40 ACRE TRACK LOCATED OFF OF, UH, UH, BUSINESS 77, UH, NORTHEAST OF MCCULLOUGH.
THE, UH, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH AEP, UH, IN ASSISTING THEM AND HOW THEY CAN, UH, HAVE A, A 300 FOOT, UH, TELECOMMUNICATIONS ARE ON THE PROPERTY.
SO TO MEET OUR ZONING REQUIREMENTS TO DO THAT, IT WOULD REQUIRE A REZONING.
SO THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY, UH, NEGATIVE INPUT FROM SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS.
UH, MR. DAN LUCIA WITH THE EXTERNAL, UM, UH, PUBLIC AFFAIRS MANAGER FOR APS.
WELL, I'M SURE WE'LL SPEAK ON THIS MATTER, BUT, UM, MAYOR YES, LET ME OPEN IT UP FOR, UH, THE TIME IS 6 51 AND WE'RE OPEN FOR, UH, UH, OPEN PUBLIC HEARING.
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR CITY, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
UH, MY NAME IS DANIEL LUCIA, EXTERNAL AFFAIRS MANAGER FOR .
I AM HERE WITH, UH, MARTINEZ, WHO'S OUR IT MANAGER.
UH, WE'RE HERE TO ASK YOU FOR SUPPORT ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROPOSED, UH, COMMUNICATIONS TOWER TO BE CONSTRUCTED AT OUR SERVICE CENTER.
HERE'S SOMEBODY TO, SO, UH, WE'RE HERE TO ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS OR ANSWER ANY QUESTION YOU MAY HAVE OR ANY CONCERNS WHAT'S, WHAT'S THE NEED OF THE ANTENNA FOR BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE DOING? IS THAT WHAT WE'RE? UH, WE CURRENTLY HAVE ONE AT OUR, OUR LIPOMA STATION, UH, BUT, UM, BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR NEW FACILITY, UH, WE HAVE AN UPGRADED NETWORK THERE, SO WE, UH, LIKE TO ABANDON OUR OLD FACILITY AND, UH, CONSTRUCT THIS NEW ONE.
UM, AND, UH, IT IS GOING TO SERVE A VAST MAJORITY OF THE VALLEY.
SO THAT'S HENCE THE REASON WHY WE NEED THE HEIGHT.
SO THE OLD ONE IS THAT GOING TO BE TORN DOWN AND TAKEN DOWN UPON COMPLETION OF THE, OF THE NEW ONE, WE WILL BE DEMOLISHING THE EXISTING.
SO THE DISTANCE BETWEEN HERE, WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? THE, YOU TALK ABOUT WHOLE VALLEY WIDE.
THERE'S THE COMMUNICATION THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? THE, THE, THE DISTANCE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, THE AREA THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, THE, THE REASON THAT YOU NEED THE 320 FEET ANTENNA, CAN YOU, CAN YOU GO INTO THE MIC PLEASE? SO IT CAN BE RECORDED.
THAT WAS THE COVERAGE ON THIS NEW TOWER IS GOING TO BE EXTENDED ALL THE WAY TO BROWNSVILLE AND SPI.
AND I'M GOING WEST ALL THE WAY TO WEST OAKLAND AND, UH, , UH, FOUR MONTHS VIA.
SO THE CURRENT LOOK, A ANTENNA THAT YOU HAVE, YOU DON'T HAVE THE DISTANCE ALL THE WAY THAT WAY WE DO, BUT THAT IS AN OLD TOWER AND NEEDS TO GET REPLACED IS OVER 25 YEARS OLD.
SO IT'S, IT'S TIME TO, TO GET ANYONE THE RADIO TALKING ABOUT RADIO, THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THE RADIO, NOT THE, OKAY.
SO THE, THE HEIGHT OF THE CURRENT TOWER THAT YOU HAVE IS, WOW.
IT'S A 350 FEET, THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THREE SEVENTY FIVE.
SO IT'S JUST REPLACING, BUT YOU CURRENTLY HAVE, AND WHAT WE HAVE IS A DUMB GUY TOWERS WITH, UH, ANCHORS WHILE WE'RE INSTALLING THE SELF-SUPPORTING, IT'S JUST, THAT'S OUR WHITE SELF.
I THINK THAT THEY'RE DOING IS TAKING THE OLD ONE FROM THE OLD SITE TO THE NEW SITE.
TRYING TO GET, GIVE HER THE OLD MANNY.
WHAT'S THE, WHAT'S THE IMPORTANCE OF THE REZONING? IS IT NECESSARILY THE TOWER, THE ZONING ORDINANCE FOR C2 MAXES OUT AT 120 OR 125 FEET, THEY'RE PROPOSING 320 FEET PROPOSING.
THE, THERE IS A LETTER FROM THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION THAT HAS A CAP OF WHAT IT CAN BECAUSE OF THE FLIGHT PATTERN.
SO, AND THEY'RE WELL WITHIN THAT.
SO, UH, THIS IS SLIGHTLY LOWER THAN, UH, AT, NOT AT THE SAME OR DOESN'T EXCEED THE HEIGHT IT'S CURRENTLY THERE.
[01:25:01]
IT, THE LAST MEETING, YOU DID APPROVE A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, WHICH THAT 120 PLUS OR MINUS FOOT AT THE NEW SITE, BUT THAT WON'T SATISFY WHAT THEY NEED.AND I DID SEE A MAP FROM JUSTIN OLIN, ONE OF YOUR IT CONSULTANTS, AND IT WAS ABOUT A 40 MILE RADIUS FROM CENTER OF SAN BENITO OR AROUND.
AND IT WENT OUT TO THE GULF OF MEXICO IN BROWNSVILLE.
SO, UH, IT COVERS A WIDE AREA.
IT WOULD BE USED FOR THEIR EMERGENCY MANAGER, JUST LIKE IT IS.
AND LIKE I MENTIONED, AT THE LAST MEETING, SINCE, UM, WE WEREN'T RUSHING THROUGH THIS, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE, UM, AND COMMISSION THAT WE MET THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND THAT WE WEREN'T IN VIOLATION SOMEHOW THAT WE AS A CITY, UH, WHETHER STAFF OR CITY COMMISSION DIDN'T VIOLATE ITS OWN ORDINANCES, BECAUSE IF NOT, WE W WE WOULD HAVE THE POTENTIAL.
AND THIS IS WHAT I EXPLAINED TO APS REPRESENTATIVES.
THEN WE WOULD HAVE EVERY OTHER TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY TRYING TO PUT THESE VERY TALL TOWERS EVERYWHERE IF WE DON'T FOLLOW ON ORDINANCE.
SO WE'RE, WE'RE MAKING SURE THAT WE CROSS OUR T'S DOT OUR I'S AND THAT WE WALK THEM THROUGH THIS PROCESS.
NOW, UH, MANY OF YOU HAVE QUESTION, UM, ON THAT CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, WE CAN START CONSTRUCTION.
TH TH W AFTER TONIGHT, WE GET THE FIRST READING WILL GIVE US A BETTER, UH, A BETTER IDEA.
WE'VE ALREADY STARTED THE REVIEW.
UH, BUT AGAIN, MARIN COMMISSIONERS, WE DON'T, UH, STAFF DOESN'T PRESUME WHAT THE COMMISSION IS GOING TO DO.
WHEN YOU HEAR A PUBLIC HEARING, WE NEED TO GET PAST THE FIRST READING, AND THAT'LL GIVE ME A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE.
SO THE CONSENSUS IS THIS TOOL FORWARD, AND THE FIRST REASON IS TONIGHT.
UM, UH, WHAT, I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING, CAUSE WHAT'S THE CURRENT HEIGHT OF THE TOWER RIGHT NOW.
UH, I BELIEVE IT'S 375 FEET, AND YOU'RE GOING WITH 3 53 25.
SO HOW DID THE 3 75 GET A LOUD IF IT WASN'T ALLOWED FOR ORDINANCE? IF IT WENT IN 20 YEARS AGO, I DON'T KNOW, OVER 25 YEARS OLD.
AND SO W WOULD IT NOT, I MEAN, IT'S A REPLACEMENT, RIGHT? IT IS A REPLACEMENT, BUT WE DON'T NEED THE HEIGHT OF THE 375 FEET BECAUSE WE HAVE A NEWER RADIOS, NEWER GRIEVANCES.
IT'S ALSO REPLACEMENT A DIFFERENT SITE.
IT'S JUST COMING FROM THE AREA TO THE NEW SITE THAT THEIR OWN BUSINESS INCUBATION EVEN IS THAT ONE REASON IS THAT ONE ZONE 48.
IT PROBABLY ISN'T, BUT HERE'S WHAT IT IS.
IT'S IT HAS BEEN LONG VESTED IT.
AND WE ALL, YOU KNOW, THOSE OF YOU THAT UNDERSTAND THAT VESTING OR MORE COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS GRANDFATHERING GRAMPS IS DONE, IT'S A VESTING.
SO THAT TELLS ME, SO YVETTE ANTENNA FELL DOWN TODAY.
IT WOULDN'T BE ERECTED AGAIN WITHOUT GOING THROUGH A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.
AND IT WOULD BE MAXED AT 125 FEET.
THEY CAN MAINTAIN IT AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T COME DOWN.
IT IS A NON-CONFORMING LAND USE.
AND I'M JUST SAYING THAT WITHOUT GOING AND LOOK AT THE, AT THE, AT THE ZONING, BECAUSE NOWHERE IN OUR ZONING, DOES THERE EVER SEEM TO BE ANYTHING THAT ALLOW HARD THAN 125 FEET? SO I WASN'T HERE 20 YEARS AGO.
I DON'T KNOW WHO WAS, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT APPROVAL PROCESS WAS 25 YEARS AGO, BUT WHAT I'M SAYING THAT TODAY, IT IS IN ALL LIKELIHOOD, A NON-CONFORMING SIDE, YOU'RE RELOCATING IT.
YOU GOT TO GO THROUGH THE, THROUGH THAT PROCESS IF IT GETS DAMAGED.
AND THIS IS WHEN I HEAR THINGS WHERE IT GETS DAMAGED, YOU CAN NEVER REBUILD IT BEYOND WHAT'S ALLOWED UNDER THOSE STANDARDS JUST TO HEAR THE QUESTIONS.
AND THEN, UH, THE TIME IS, UH, IT WAS A 6 58.
AND LET ME CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
YEAH, YOU GOT AN, A, NO ANOTHER ONE MR. LUCIA NEXT WEEK.
FIRST WE KNOW THE ORDINANCE ORDINANCE NUMBER 25 98 DASH ZERO TWO DASH 2022 Z TO REZONE THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1401 EAST BUSINESS HIGHWAY 77.
I DID READ THE WHOLE THING AGAIN.
NO, YOU, UH, YOU, UH, LET'S SEE, IT WAS A 22.
I MEAN, IT WAS THE SAME THING, BUT NOW THIS ONE IS, UH, UH, UM, THERE WAS A PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN THIS ONE IS THE FIRST SCREEN.
SO JUST A MINUTE, SORRY FOR NUMBER 22, 23.
CAN WE CAN, UH, AND THE LAST PART, IT SAYS, IT SAYS SOMETHING THAT MAYBE CONFUSION SAYS FROM C2, COMMERCIAL, GENERAL RETAIL BUSINESS TO PDD PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.
AND THEN IT SAYS, AGAIN, DEFAULT TO C2, COMMERCIAL GENERAL RETAIL.
SO IS THE RE IS THE NEW REZONING C2 BECAUSE THE NEW ZONING WILL HAVE BIGGER C2 DEFAULT WITH THE ONLY CHANGE BEING THAT
[01:30:01]
IT'S GOING TO ALLOW THE ANTENNA AT THAT HIGHER AT THAT, AT THAT HEIGHT.SO WE'RE JUST GOING FROM PPD PPD TO, TO A PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT WITH A CTD FAULT.
IN OTHER WORDS, ANYTHING THAT'S NOT SPELLED IN ITS ORDINANCE DEFAULTS TO C TWO, LIKE THE ONLY THING WE'RE CHANGING IS THAT YOU CAN PUT AN ANTENNA THAT HEIGHT THERE, OTHERWISE IT'S DEFAULT TO SEE TO.
BECAUSE THE PDD DOESN'T ALLOW FOR AN ANTENNA, NO PLAINTIFF DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT C2 DOESN'T ALLOW FOR AN ANTENNA AT THAT HEIGHT.
SO WE CREATED THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT WITH AN, WITH AN OVERLAY THAT ALLOWS FOR ANTENNAS THAT HEIGHT.
OTHERWISE IT'S A DEFAULT TO SEE TO, GEEZ, THAT'S IT? NO QUESTIONS, NEVER PUT THEM.

AND IF YOU'LL GO DOWN TO EXHIBIT B, WHICH CAPACITY ORDINANCE GO PAST THE, THE MEETS AND BOUNDS OR THE DEPICTION, YOU'LL SEE, EXHIBIT B LABELED AT THE VERY TOP.
THEN YOU'LL SEE ROMAN NUMERAL THREE.
AND IT TALKS ABOUT ALL REGULATIONS OF THE C2 DISTRICT SET FORTH IN CHAPTER 14 OR INCLUDED BY REFERENCE, OKAY.
IF YOU'VE GOT A ROMAN NUMERAL FIVE, THE SPECIFIC USES, AND THERE'S WHERE YOU SEE THAT INTENT OF THE TOWER.
SO IN OTHER WORDS, RATHER THAN GOLD, RIGHT? ALL THE SPECIFICATIONS FOR OUR PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, THAT REALLY IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE.
OTHER THAN THAT ANTENNA, WE DEFAULTED IT TO WHAT IT WAS OTHER THAN IT ALLOWS US ANTENNA AT, AT THOSE HEIGHTS.
AND THOSE HEIGHTS WERE NOT AT THE THREE 20.
THEY WEREN'T AT THE DAY, THOSE WERE THE HEIGHTS THAT WERE ALLOWED BY THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION.
SO WE GAVE HIM SOME LATITUDES.
WHAT WE'RE SAYING, WHAT TYPE OF LIGHTING THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE ON TOP OF THE, UH, THE TOWER, THE TOWER.
I MEAN, YOU TALKING ABOUT THE ANTENNA, THE LIGHTING LIGHT, AND YET THE NORMAL LIGHT IN THAT ALL TOWERS HAVE RED AND LIGHT RED AND WHITE.
AND WE'VE SEEN THE CONSTRUCTION PLANS AND WE'VE ALREADY DONE A LOT OF THE PRELIMINARY REVIEW AND THAT'S HOW WE SAY IT EXCEEDS THE, IT EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE.
SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE AVIATION COMMITTEE, HAVING A CERTAIN REGULATION.
DOES THIS HAVE TO, DO YOU GUYS HAVE TO GO THROUGH THEM AS WELL? WE WENT THROUGH THEM.
THE FEDERAL ALLEVIATION DOESN'T CONTROL THE CITY'S LAND USE.
THAT'S AN OVERREACH OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT APPROVED IT.
WHAT WAS, YOU SAID 3 25, BUT YOU, AND IF YOU'LL SEE, SO THEY HAVE SOME, I GUESS, LEVEL OF LATITUDE THEN YES, THEY HAVE SOME LATITUDE AND WE FOLLOW THAT LATITUDE.
IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE HEIGHT OF THE ANTENNA, WE PUT IT EXACTLY WHERE IT SAYS ROMAN NUMERAL V ON THIS EXHIBIT B SPECIAL SPECIFIC REGULATIONS UNDER A, WHERE YOU SEE PERMITTED USES YOU GO A ONE TOWER, YOU'LL SEE 3 46.
LIKE MY THING IS THAT I UNDERSTAND WE'RE TAKING THIS IS TAKING A PROCESS, RIGHT? BUT THIS HAS BEEN A LONG PROCESS FOR A TOWER THAT'S ON, UH, ON COMPLETELY ON APS PROPERTY.
AND THE FEDERAL COMMISSION HAS ALREADY APPROVED IT.
SO THAT JUST SAYS THAT JUST SHOWS THAT THERE'S MAYBE A FLAW OR A DRAWBACK ON SOME OF OUR ORDINANCES.
DO WE NEED TO, AND WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT NOW, RIGHT? THE NEXT AGENDA PERMISSION OR NOT COMMISSION OR NOT AT ALL, WE HAD ORDINANCES RE
[01:35:01]
REGULATING OUR TOWERS.AEP WANTED TO COME IN AND PUT A TOWER HIGHER THAN THE ORDINANCE THAT WAS ALLOWED.
RIGHT? THE FAA LETTER HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH LAND USE.
IT HAS TO DO WITH SAFETY FOR AIRPLANES.
THE, UH, THE, UH, HEIGHT THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS TAKEN FROM THE FAS OWN REGULATIONS AND LETTER, UH, TO, TO THESE FOLKS.
SO IT'S JUST DIFFERENT BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT REGULATING DIFFERENT THINGS.
AND IT'S, IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL FOR THE CITY TO CHANGE ITS ORDINANCES IN COMPLIANCE WITH, UH, YOU KNOW, TO ALLOW A SPECIFIC USE FOR, YOU KNOW, AN INDIVIDUAL WITH A NEED, JUST THE PROCESS.
WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS REQUIREMENT.
IF I CAN UNDERSTAND THE COMMISSIONER, ALL IT IS IS THAT WE'RE JUST, UH, THEY'RE JUST AN AP, JUST ADVISING THE LATTE, THE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL IN A HUNDRED, THAT THERE'S A TOWER GOING UP TO ALMOST 300 POINT 325 FEET PLANES LAND.
OKAY, THEY'RE COMING IN AND YOU SEE THEM.
I'VE SEEN THEM ALL THE WAY UP TO 7 32 WHERE THEY COME IN AND THEY'RE REALIGNING THEMSELVES TO THE WRONG WAYS.
SO ALL THE WAY FROM OVER HERE, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THEY'RE ALIGNING TO THE ROMANS IN HORNS.
AND SO THAT MEANS THAT THEY'RE FLYING JETS 7 30, 7 LARGER AIRCRAFT ARE LEARNING THEIR SELVES AND THEY'RE COMING THROUGH SO MANY NIETO AND ALL THE DAY, ALL THEY DID WAS JUST TO GET THE PERMISSION OR JUST TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THEY HAVE AN ANTENNA SO THEY CAN HAVE, AND MAKE AWARE ALL THE PILOTS ARE COMING IN.
THERE IS A 325 FEET AND TENANT IN SOMEBODY IN A CERTAIN AREA.
AND THEY HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WITH JUST GIVING HER A HEADS UP.
SO THAT'S WHAT I WAS ALL AT THE, I BROUGHT THAT UP TO MANNY.
AND THE ONLY REASON I'M ASKING ABOUT THE LIGHTING, BECAUSE THERE IS, YOU KNOW, WE DO HAVE CROP DUSTERS ALSO.
AND, UH, YOU KNOW, WE'VE SEEN THE, THE WATER TOWER ON THE FREDDY FENDER THAT THE LIGHT'S NOT THERE.
THAT'S MY BIGGEST BEEF, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT NO AIRCRAFT OR ANY CROP DUSTER GOING INTO OUR, YOU KNOW, OUR STRUCTURES.
THAT'S WHY, YOU KNOW, I BRING IT UP TO MANNY.
I DO CALL HIM OR MR. VASQUEZ, I HAVE CALLED HIM A COUPLE OF TIMES.
ALSO, ALL I'M ASKING IS THERE'S GOING TO BE LIGHTING THROUGHOUT THE TOWER.
BUT I, BUT I APPRECIATE THAT, THAT COMMENT OR THAT QUESTION ON, BECAUSE WE DID GO THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES, WE HAD TO GO THROUGH ALL THAT.
SO IT'S A LONG PROCESS FOR US AS WELL.
SO IT'S JUST, YEAH, WE'RE HERE.
WE'RE READY FOR THIS STATE THAT, YEAH, WE JUST, WE JUST WANT TO TRY TO WORK AS EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE.
AND I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF REGULATIONS AND I'M SURE THAT YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THESE REGULATIONS ALREADY, AND WE DON'T WANT JUST ONE LITTLE ZONING THING THAT, YOU KNOW, TO HINDER YOUR DEVELOPMENT AND INCREASING COMMUNICATION TOWERS, ACCESS TO COMMUNICATION.
THAT'S IMPORTANT THAT THOSE ARE MY ONLY CONCERN.
SO EFFICIENCY OF APPROVING THESE THINGS.
NO MORE QUESTIONS THEN WE'LL GO TO,

I BEGAN MR. JOSE RAMON GARCIA, AND A SENIOR MANAGER, UH, CENTER MIRIN COMMISSIONER AT THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT THE NEAR THE SOUTHWEST INTERSECTION OF STICKY ROPE ON STICKY ROAD AT BUSINESS 77, UH, DIRECTLY ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE TRUCK.
AND IF YOU HAVE A DRAWING OR THIS DEPICTION, UM, THE SITE WITH YOU, UH, THIS CORNER HERE, UM, IS THE, UH, STICKY FOOD MARKED.
SO THAT, SO THIS IS DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THAT.
UH, IT IS ZONED SINGLE FAMILY.
THEY WOULD LIKE TO PUT A COMMERCIAL SITE.
SO PART OF THE CONVERSATION, AND WE DID, YOU HAD A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS, UH, ABOUT A MONTH AGO.
UM, AS YOU MIGHT RECALL, SOMETIME AGO, WE HAD ONE ON, UH, SOMEBODY TRYING TO PUT A CAR LOT IN AN AREA THAT WE DIDN'T THINK WOULD BE THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE.
SO WE MADE SURE THAT THIS HIGHEST AND BEST USE WOULD NOT BE A DETRACTION OR NEGATIVE IMPACT ON, UH, THE SINGLE FAMILIES TO, TO THE SOUTH OF IT OR BEHIND IT.
UH, SO IT, IT APPEARS TO BE A CLEAN, UH, BUSINESS OPERATION.
AND I'M SURE THAT, UH, BERNARD CAN TELL YOU WHAT THE BUSINESS IS.
I CAN'T RECALL, BUT IT'S, UM, UH, BUT IT IS, UH, STAFF HAS BEEN WORKING TO MAKE SURE THAT IT, IT, IT WORKS.
THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE DETENTION PARKING.
IT'S A VERY SMALL LOT, SO IT CAN'T TAKE UP A VERY LARGE BUILDING.
SO, AND OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE GOING TO FENCE IT
[01:40:01]
IN BECAUSE THEY WANT TO PROTECT THEIR COMMERCIAL SIDE.SO, UH, WE ARE, THIS IS NO ACTION, BUT WE CERTAINLY ARE COMFORTABLE THAT WE SHOULD, UH, UH, CONTINUE WITH THE PROCESS.
DID YOU MENTION THAT YOU HAD A RETAINER POND, DETENTION POND DETENTION WILL HAVE ONE.
IT'S SMALL BUSINESS, SMALL LOT.
SO DRESSING THAT QUESTION ON THE NEXT, ON THE PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE DEVELOPMENT CODES, THERE WAS A SECTION THAT APPROVED FOR A MINOR PLAT WOULD THIS BENEFIT, THIS WOULD TH THAT THAT'S, THIS IS WHERE A MINOR PLAT WOULD COME IN FOR THIS INDIVIDUAL.
UM, NO ZONING IS DIFFERENT FROM SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE, A SUBDIVISION.
IT CAN BE HANDLED AT A STAFF LEVEL.
ZONINGS REQUIRE PUBLIC HEARINGS.
IT'S A REZONING OF LAND, AND THAT IS A CITY COMMISSION DECISION.
SO THERE'S NO ZONING IS EASY, BUT THE ZONING IS TOUGHER SONY.
WELL, WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE THEM PUT A RETENTION FONDANT OR DRINK.
NO, I'M NOT MAKING THEM DO ANYTHING.
THAT'S JUST THE CODE, ESSENTIALLY, THESE CODE, I'M SORRY, THE ORDINANCE, THE ORDINANCE REQUIRES.
HOW DO YOU, HOW DO YOU COUNT WHETHER IT'S A LOT, AN ACRE 10 ACRES, A HUNDRED ACRES, IF IT'S NOT ALL APPLICABLE TO EVERYBODY, YOU CAN, AND YOU SHOULD MAKE THOSE COMMENTS, BUT YOU GOT TO MEET THE STANDARD AND SOMEBODY'S GOT TO, YOU GOTTA HOLD SOMETHING, RIGHT? IF NOT, YOU'RE CONTINUING TO FREE-FLOW.
SO THIS AREA HAS HAD THAT DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT, OTHER PARTS OF TOWN HAVE NOT EARLIER YOU COMPARED IT TO THE, UM, I THINK IT WAS A CAR LOT OFF OF MCCULLOUGH.
SO WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? UH, OKAY.
UM, NOT ON A PRIME AREA, A IT, CARLOS, WHEN THEY GOT A BUSINESS COMMISSIONER, THEY, THEY DON'T TURN OVER IN THE DEVELOPMENT WORLD BECAUSE THERE'S TOO MUCH CONCRETE OR TOO MUCH ASPHALT IN THE CITY FOR A LONG TIME.
SO THEY'RE NOT THE SAME TYPE OF CLEAN OPERATION AS WHEN YOU HAVE AN OFFICE BUILDING.
AND, UH, WE ALREADY HAVE A LOT OF CAR, LOTS IF YOU'RE GOING TO PUT WHAT WE BELIEVE TO BE IN THAT CORNER.
AND WE'VE HEARD, I KNOW SOME OF YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT'S PROPOSED AT THAT CORNER.
THEN YOU WANT TO, FURTHERMORE, RETAIL, CARLOADS DON'T GENERATE SALES TAX.
THEY PAY AD VALOREM, JUST LIKE WE'RE COLLECTING AVALARA TODAY.
RIGHT? SO WHEN I LOOK AT A BUSINESS, HOW HAS THE CITIES, WHAT IS THE CITY'S BEST INTEREST AND WHAT DOES THIS LONG-TERM RETURN TO IT? SO YOU MAKE THE DECISION.
I JUST MAKE THE RECOMMENDATIONS, BUT I LOOK AT WHAT IS THE INTENDED LAND USE, WHETHER IT'S LAND USE AND LAND USE IS ANOTHER WORD FOR ZONING.
SO WHEN WE HAVE RULES ABOUT HEIGHTS OR WHAT WE ALLOW IN CERTAIN PROPERTIES, IT'S TO PROTECT ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS AND TO MAINTAIN VALUE OF CERTAIN PROPERTIES, BECAUSE YOU CAN HAVE CERTAIN DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE MAYBE A BUSINESS THAT ARE A DETRIMENT AND CREATE A NEGATIVE IMPACT IN A NEIGHBORHOOD.
[25. Consideration and possible action to approve the Caracara Trails Advisory Committee (CTAC) ByLaws.]
I DON'T REMEMBER.25 CONSIDERATION POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE THE CATEGORY.
UH, TRILLS, A ADVISORY COMMITTEE, UH, CTAC, UH, BYLAWS.
AND , WE ARE A PART OF THE LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY DEVELOPMENT COUNCILS, UH, ACTIVE COMMITTEE, UH, AS A CITY MEMBER, WE'RE ALL ACTIVE.
SO THOSE COMMITTEES ALSO HAVE SUBCOMMITTEES.
AND THIS GROUP, UH, GOT A, GOT A TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE IS ONE OUT OF THE BRONZEVILLE AREA.
THEY'RE THE ONES THAT WORK IN ON A LOT OF THOSE CONNECTIONS.
AND, UH, AND THEY GET FUNDING FROM THE LOW ROAD DE BELT, UH, CORRECTION.
THEY GET SOME FUNDING FROM THE VALLEY BAPTIST FOUNDATION, I THINK BAPTIST HOSPITAL GROUP.
SO, UM, THEY, UH, SO WHAT I'VE PROVIDED YOU WITH THE PROPOSED BYLAWS, I ASKED FOR, UH, THE RED LINE BYLAWS THAT THEY HAD, UM, THEY'RE NO LONGER DEALING WITH, UH, THE SAME GROUP THAT WAS MANAGING.
NOW, THEY'VE GOT THIS GROUP CALLED COME DREAM, COME BUILD IS, BUT, UH, AND THAT IS THEIR PROJECT MANAGER.
AND THERE'S A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING THAT WAS SIGNED BACK IN, UH, APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION, SIGNED BY THE MAYOR BACK THEN, UH, GOMEZ, JULY OF 2017.
SO ALL OF THOSE ITEMS ARE THERE, IT'S A, IT'S A GROUP IT'S A, THAT PROMOTES IS EQUAL TO ECOTOURISM, CONNECTIVITY, BIKING, PEDESTRIAN, WALKWAYS, ALL OF THAT KIND OF STUFF.
UH, MOST OF THAT FUNDING, UH, IS GOING INTO THOSE AREAS, UH, FROM BROWNSVILLE TO THOSE, UH, WATERWAYS, RIGHT.
BUT WE HAVE A SMALL SLIVER AND HARLEY JUST GOT A SMALL SLIVER.
SO, UM, BUT WE WANT TO BE GOOD PARTICIPANTS WITH OUR COLLEAGUES.
AND WE'RE IN, IN HOPES THAT WHEN WE WORK WITH THEM AT SOME FUTURE
[01:45:01]
DATE, UH, THESE GROUPS WILL WORK CAUSE THAT'S WHEN WE NEED SOME FUNDING.SO THAT'S JUST HOW WE SUPPORT EACH OTHER.
YOU'LL SEE THERE THAT ON PAGE THREE, YOU'LL SEE THE POPULATION AND WE PAID THIS, UH, THIS CONTRIBUTION, UM, OF THE $7,500, RIGHT.
I CONFIRMED WE'RE NOT PAYING IT AGAIN.
UH, BUT I DID RAISE THE QUESTION WITH THIS NEW PROJECT MANAGER.
I SAID, I'M LOOKING AT THIS, BUT I STILL HAVE A CONCERN THAT, UH, CITIES THAT ARE 200,000, 80,000 PAY 10,000, WHEN WE'RE PAYING 7,500, I SAY IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE FAIR, BUT I'LL PRESENT THE BYLAWS AND WE'LL RECOMMEND APPROVAL BECAUSE, UH, UH, EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY ELSE IS DOING IT.
SO IT'S BEEN PRESENTED TO HIM.
UM, AGAIN, IT, IT HAS VALUE, UH, THE WALKING TRAILS MAYOR, YOU MIGHT RECALL, WE WERE GETTING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS.
YOU CAME AND SAW WHAT'S GOING ON.
THEY, THEY WA UH, THEY WERE TAKING COUNTS ON THE PEDESTRIAN.
SO AT SOME FUTURE DAY, WE'RE HOPING THAT WE QUALIFY FOR SOME MORE FUNDING FOR OUR TRAILS.
THE PROBLEM IS, UH, ONE OF THE MEMOS THAT THEY'VE TRIED IS WE WANT YOU TO, UH, SET SO MUCH MONEY ASIDE EVERY YEAR ON A PER CAPITA.
AND WE SAY, OH, WAIT A MINUTE.
YOU'RE GONNA OBLIGATE US FOR, INTO PERPETUITY.
UH, AND SO THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF DISCUSSIONS WE HAVE.
UH, AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A SAY AND THAT WE PARTICIPATE ON THIS.
SO THEY HAVE ZOOM MEETINGS, UH, BERNARD AND RAMON LISTEN IN.
SO I, I REALLY HADN'T SEEN MUCH UNTIL THE BIBLES UNTIL THEY REPRESENTED THEM AGAIN.
AND THEN I STARTED GOING THROUGH THEM.
THEY'RE, UH, THEY COULD BE A LITTLE BIT STRONGER IN THERE IF YOU NOTICE THE MOU.
UM, I SAID, SEND ME THE MOST CURRENT MOU, BECAUSE WHAT I'VE GOT IS EXPIRING.
THEY GO, OH YEAH, WE'RE WORKING ON THAT TOO.
SO IF YOU DO, THEY HAVEN'T EXPIRED MOU.
SO ACTUALLY TELL ME HOW IT'S GOING TO BENEFIT SOMEBODY.
IT'S GOING TO BENEFIT US BECAUSE A COMMISSIONER, YOU KNOW, HONESTLY, I DON'T THINK THAT IF YOU DON'T PARTICIPATE, UH, AT SOME FUTURE DATE, WHEN YOU NEED BRONZEVILLE OR DO YOU NEED VALLEY BAPTIST TO KIND OF PITCH IN, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO USE BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T PARTICIPATE.
UH, FURTHERMORE, WE'VE ALREADY PAID 75, BUT WE HAVE ALREADY PAID.
WELL, WE ALREADY PAID, BUT OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, YOU MENTIONED THE WALKING TRAILS, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF ECO TOURISM POTENTIAL HERE IN THIS TOWN.
SO W YOU KNOW, IF, IF WE JUST NOT SEEING THE MONIES UP HERE, AND WHICH IS KIND OF WHAT WE'RE, AS, AS YOUR ADVOCATES ON STAFF, WE'RE GOING TO ADDRESS THAT.
WHAT ARE WE NOT SEEING MORE FOR THE NORTH? AND IF I RECALL, IT'S SOMEHOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO CONNECT ALL TOGETHER.
I DON'T KNOW HOW, BUT IF YOU'RE HERE IN 10 OR 15 YEARS, I'M SURE IT'S SUPPOSED TO, UH, BRONZEVILLE .
IT'S I RECOMMEND, OKAY, SO I'VE GOT A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER RIO, FRANKLIN, SECOND, SECOND BREAKER COMMISSIONER GABON.
I GOT A MOTION BY MARIPOSA, TIM.
AND A SECOND BY, UH, UH, COMMISSIONER GARCIA.
AND THE TIME IS SEVEN 18, AND WE'RE ADJOURNED.
