YOU KNOW, I WAS RAISED IN THE, IN A IN A VERY GODLY HOME, BUT STILL I HAD MY, MY FATHER HAD A HARD TIME RAISING ME BECAUSE HE NEVER HAD A FATHER TO RAISE HIM.

SO THAT PATTERN KEPT ON, KEPT ON GOING UNTIL I FINALLY STOPPED IT.

WE HAVE MANY FAKE LEADERS HERE, MOG MEN OF STEEL CROSS CHURCH, AMAZING CHURCHES HERE THAT WANT TO HELP AND TO HELP WITH THIS CRISIS.

BECAUSE IF WE HELP THESE MEN BECOME RESPONSIBLE FATHERS, WE'RE GONNA HAVE HEALTHY HOMES.

AND IF WE HAVE HEALTHY HOMES, WE'RE GONNA HAVE A HEALTHY COMMUNITY.

[PUBLIC COMMENTS (Speaker remarks limited to three minutes)]

PUBLIC COMMENTS.

MS. RUTH, UM, MS. MARTHA AND MSLA AND FRANK.

HELLO EVERYBODY.

SO WE'RE HERE TO PROTEST.

I AM NUMBER ONE ABOUT HAVING ALCOHOL AND ON ONSITE CONSUMPTION.

SO I KNOW THAT YOU WERE HERE AT THE PLANNING ZONING COMMITTEE AND THEY DENIED IT.

AND OF COURSE YOU GUYS KNOW THAT.

SO WE'RE JUST HERE TO SAY THAT WE DO NOT WANT THIS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

WE HAVE A BUSINESS, A FLOWER SHOP, A BLOCK AWAY, AND THEN THERE'S A CHILDREN'S REC CENTER RIGHT THERE.

AND THAT SHOULD BE A REALLY, REALLY BAD IDEA, ESPECIALLY FOR DOWNTOWN SINCE, AND, UH, WE JUST DO NOT WANT IN THE AREA.

I'M SORRY, RUTH, YOU STOP THE TIME REAL QUICK, MA'AM.

SO, UM, I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.

IS THIS FOR I GUESS ONE OF THE ITEMS ON THE AGENDA FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING? YES.

UHHUH.

PKI HAD OPEN COMMUNICATION SAYING, HEY, HE CALLED ME, IT'S TIME TO CLOSE IT, TO FINALIZE IT.

SO YOU CAN DEFINITELY SPEAK DURING THE PUBLIC COMMENT, UH, BUT YOU CAN ALSO SPEAK WHEN THE MAYOR OPENS UP THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IF YOU'D LIKE TO, YOU CAN CONTINUE WITH PUBLIC COMMENT OR, UH, IN THE HEARING, PUBLIC HEARING, YOU'LL HAVE A LOT MORE TIME.

YEAH, WE DON'T WANT TO CUT YOU OFF THERE.

YEAH, RUTH, ANYBODY ELSE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT? NEXT WE HAVE A JUAN .

[00:20:04]

GOOD AFTERNOON MAYORS.

MY NAME IS JUAN BARTOS AND, UH, I OWN BUSINESS OF BARTOS PLUMBING.

AND I HAVE, UH, AN ISSUE HERE.

UH, WE DID A JOB FOR, UH, DOMINO'S, DOMINO'S PIZZA.

THEY CALLED US IF THEY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THEIR BACKFLOW, SO WE WOULD CALL IT BACKFLOW.

THEN WE DISCOVERED THAT, UH, THEIR GREASE TRACTOR MESSED UP ALSO.

SO WE, I GOT A, A PERMIT TO DO THE BACKGROUND TO DO THE GREASE TRAPS.

AND ALSO WE DISCOVERED THAT THEY DID IT AT A NEW GAS LINE.

SO WE DID ALL THE WORK, WE DID ALL THE PROJECT, WE GOT ALL THESE, I GOT ALL MY PERMITS, WE GOT EVERYTHING INSPECTED, AND THEN WE TURNED IN THE INVOICE WE GOT LIKE A MONTH LATER BECAUSE WE WERE WAITING TO GET PAID.

SO, UH, LIKE A MONTH OR MONTH AND A HALF LATER, THEY SAID THAT I WAS FIRED BY DOMINO'S AND THAT THE CITY HAD, UH, UH, YOU KNOW, MY PERMIT, THEY CANCELED MY PERMIT.

SO ANOTHER PLUMBER CAME IN, PULLED A PERMIT, THEY DID THE WALKTHROUGH AND EVERYTHING.

THEY PAID HIM, AND WE GOT LEFT WITH NO PAYMENT.

BUT I NEVER GOT PAID.

SO I THINK IT'S A CITY'S FAULT THAT, THAT I DIDN'T GET PAID.

SO, SO, UH, I GUESS WHAT I WANT TO FIND OUT IS BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY GOT A LETTER FROM DOMINO'S, I NEVER SAW THAT LETTER SAYING THAT I HAD GOTTEN FIRED.

ALSO, IF, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR, BUT, UH, ONLY THE PLUMBER CAN, YOU KNOW, UH, UH, CANCELED THE PERMIT.

THE PLUMBER THAT PULLED OUT THE PERMIT IS THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN COME.

I HAVE TO HAVE, BRING A WRITTEN LETTER AND CANCEL IT.

AND I THINK ALSO THAT THE OWNER CAN, CAN CANCEL A PERMIT ALSO, WHICH WOULD BE DOMINO'S, RIGHT? BUT IF THAT WAS THE CASE THAT THEY GOT A LETTER CANCELING, HOW COME THEY DIDN'T, THE CITY DIDN'T NOTIFY ME AT ALL.

THEY DIDN'T, YOU KNOW, THEY NEVER SAID NOTHING TO ME.

SO I WISH, UH, YOU ALL CAN CHECK AND SEE WHAT THREE MINUTES AND SEE WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO NOW.

YOU KNOW, THREE MINUTES.

THANK YOU, MR. RUB.

HELLO, PUBLIC, PLEASE.

UH, STATE YOUR NAME, PLEASE.

MY NAME'S , AND I'M A, I WAS THE OTHER CONTRACTOR ON THAT SITE.

AND, UH, ME AND MS. IS ALWAYS WORK TOGETHER IF WE BOTH IN THE, IN THE WATER SOURCE.

SO MY GOAL HERE IS TO, WE'VE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH.

I HAVE THE BYLAWS HERE.

I HAVE ALL THE PHOTOS FROM THE START OF THE PROJECT, A COLOR TO THE LAST, UH, GREEN TAG THAT WAS GIVEN TO US WAS, WHICH WAS A REBAR SAYING THAT WE HAD FINISHED THE JOB.

SO ME, AND WERE RELAXED ABOUT IT, WE SAID, WELL, WE'RE DONE.

THEY'RE GONNA PAY THIS, THIS AND THAT, THIS AND THAT.

AND LIKE I SAID, I EMAILED PEOPLE WANTING TO CLOSE THIS PROJECT.

NEVER GOT AN ANSWER.

I REQUESTED TO TALK TO INDIVIDUALS.

NEVER GOT A, NEVER GOT AN ANSWER.

FINALLY, WE JUST SAID, WE NEED TO GO IN.

SO WE DID.

WE CAME IN, WE STARTED TALKING TO PEOPLE.

ALL WE ALL, ALL WE'VE BEEN TOLD IS THAT, YES, Y'ALL HAVE, THE INSPECTION DEPARTMENT HAS A RIGHT TO DETERMINE OUR, THE PERMITS AND THE BYLAW.

YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE MASTER ELECTRICIAN ON THE SITE, ONE MASTER PLUMBER.

SO AND SO NOW THEY SAY MR. ALKI, IT SAYS SAN CITY OF SAN UTILITY INSPECTOR.

HE'S THE ONE THAT APPROVED ALL OUR INSPECTIONS TO THE VERY FINAL, TO THE REBAR.

ME AND MR.

[00:25:02]

I'M WAITING, I'M WAITING, I'M WAITING TO HEAR FROM DOMINO'S.

WELL, OF COURSE YOU'RE NOT GONNA CALL US.

'CAUSE AS WELL, ME AS A CONTRACTOR, THEY SAID, YOU'RE NOT GOOD.

HE'S NOT GOOD.

WE'RE GONNA BRING SOMEBODY FROM THE OUTSIDE.

WHY WE FINISHED THE PROJECT.

WE GAVE HIM THE INVOICE.

THEY, WE WERE EVEN CALLED, BUT WAS EVEN CALLED, HEY, THEY'RE SAYING THAT WE WERE TOO EXPENSIVE NOW.

NOW REMEMBER THIS? YES, UNDERSTAND THIS, THIS, WE WERE CALLED UPON AN EMERGENCY WHERE THEY WERE GONNA SHUT DOWN DOMINOES IF WE DID, IF WE DIDN'T REACT, BECAUSE THAT WAS THE LAST POINT.

THERE'S WHERE HE WAS, THEY WERE HEADED TO, THEY'RE GONNA SHUT IT DOWN.

BUT THEY GOT A HOLD OF US AND SAYS, CAN YOU HELP US? CAN YOU HELP US NOW? BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA SHUT IT DOWN.

HE'S A MASTER LICENSE.

I'M TC YOU CROSS CONNECTION, I'M LICENSED.

WE'LL HELP YOU.

LET, LET'S GET YOU ON THIS PROBLEM.

SO WE HELPED THEM.

WE WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE PROJECT WITH THE UNDERSTANDING DOMINO SAID, DON'T CLOSE THE BUSINESS NOW WE WANT YOU TO WORK WITH, DON'T CLOSE THE NOW.

WELL, WE GOT EVERYTHING DONE TO THE LAST MINUTE.

THE INSPECTOR THAT CAME IN DID NOTHING.

WE HAVE ACTIVE PERMITS AND THEY STEER THE INSPECTOR SAYING THAT OUR ACTIVE PERMITS ARE NO GOOD.

THAT'S NOT TRUE.

THE BYLAW SAYS WE SHOULD HAVE SUBMITTED SOMETHING WRITTEN AND WE NEVER DID.

OR THEY DECISION SHOULD HAVE TOLD US SOMETHING ABOUT OUR DISMISSAL.

AND THEY DID.

THAT'S WHY THIS KEPT ON GOING, GOING, GOING, I'VE TRIED ALL RESOURCES TO RESOLVE THIS AND THIS IS A PACKAGE THAT BASICALLY IS GOING FORWARD IF Y'ALL DON'T HELP US AND WE KNOW.

MS. ARE WE MOVING ON TO MS? YES, SIR.

UM, HELLO.

GOOD AFTERNOON, UH, MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS, UH, CITY MANAGER.

UH, THANKS SO MUCH FOR HAVING US.

MY NAME IS GABRIEL LES PUBLIC AFFAIRS WITH THE SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATIONS OFFICE OF DISASTER.

AND I'M HERE TO REALLY SHARE A COUPLE OF THINGS AND PROVIDE, UH, AN UPDATE FOR, FOR THE CITY OF SANTO.

KIND OF GIVE YOU AN OVERALL ASSESSMENT AS TO WHERE WE'RE AT, AND ALSO TO SHARE THAT OUR EFFORTS TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO HOMEOWNERS, RENTERS, NON-PROFITS, SOME BUSINESSES IS, UH, QUICKLY COMING TO, TO, UH, ITS DEADLINE.

UH, WE ARE LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AWAY.

JULY 6TH IS THE DEADLINE FOR ANY INDIVIDUAL OR BUSINESS TO APPLY THAT HAD SUFFERED PHYSICAL DAMAGES TO EITHER THEIR RESIDENCE OR THEIR BUSINESS.

AND SO WE WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT WE'RE STILL AT THE COMPANY FOR PARKS AND RECS, UH, BUILDING ON IT'S TWO.

SO FOR ANYBODY WHO'S INTERESTED IN, IN STILL TRYING TO GET SOME RESOURCES FOR ANY DAMAGES THEY MAY HAVE SUFFERED, UH, WE'RE THERE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, NINE TO SIX, UH, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF HOLIDAYS.

SO, UH, 4TH OF JULY, UH, I BELIEVE THE THIRD WILL BE CLOSED.

BUT WE REALLY JUST WANTED TO SHARE, WE'RE STILL HERE, WE'RE STILL TRYING TO HELP OUT AS MANY PEOPLE AS WE CAN.

AND, UH, SO FAR TO THE TUNE OF, WE'VE RECEIVED OVER 300 APPLICATIONS AND HAVE OFFERED OVER $4.5 MILLION.

AND AGAIN, THAT INCLUDES ALL THE COUNTIES THAT WERE IMPACTED, SO CAMERON, PARKER WISE AND VICTORIA.

AND SO WE'RE REALLY JUST PROUD TO SAY THAT WE CONTINUE TO BE HERE ON THE GROUND.

WE CERTAINLY WANT INDIVIDUALS AND BUSINESSES AGAIN TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF US STILL BEING HERE.

WE DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER WE'LL BE HERE BEYOND THE SIX, BUT AS LONG AS WE'RE HERE, WE CERTAINLY WANT TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT THEY CAN STILL COME IN AND APPLY FOR US, BE RESOURCES FOR ANY DAMAGES SUFFERED FROM THE MAIN NINTH OR PREVIOUS TO THE MAIN NINTH, UH, STORMS AND, AND TORNADO THAT HAPPENED HERE IN THE SANTO, UM, CAR AREA.

SO JUST WANT TO GIVE THAT UPDATE, PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION, AND OF COURSE, WE'RE HAPPY TO HELP WITH ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS, UM, FROM, FROM ANYONE AS WELL.

BUT WE CONTINUE OUR OUTREACH, WE CONTINUE OUR EFFORTS TO, TO LET THE GENERAL COMMUNITY KNOW.

AND I'M, UH, PLEASED TO SAY THAT, UH, FOR THE MOST PART, EVERYWHERE WE'VE BEEN IN CAMERON COUNTY, SOMEBODY TO ANOTHER ADVISOR WHO'S BEEN VERY HOSPITABLE.

SO I'M VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THAT.

AND I CAN ONLY, UH, SHARE WITH YOU THAT THIS COMMUNITY IN PARTICULAR HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY REMARKABLE.

SO I COMMEND YOU ALL THAT AS LEADERS AND AS A COMMUNITY AND, UH, BE AS PROUD TO, AGAIN, JUST CONTINUE TO HELP PEOPLE FOR AS LONG AS WE CAN AND AS LONG AS, UH, WE'RE HERE.

SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU MS. MS. ES AFTERNOON.

MY NAME IS ESTHER

[00:30:01]

Y HERNANDEZ.

THAT OKAY? THE MIC THE MIC, MAN.

I COME BEFORE YOU TODAY BECAUSE I HEARD THAT MR. ELO AVILA WAS GOING TO BE HERE REQUESTING TO BE REINSTATED AS A PARK DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO.

I URGED YOU TO BE, TO SERIOUSLY DENY THAT REQUEST.

I HAVE BEEN A RESIDENT MY WHOLE LIFETIME, AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE PARK HAVE SEEN THE LITTLE IN IMPROVEMENT UNTIL JUST RECENTLY.

I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE IN TOWN AND I HAVE HEARD COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEM CALLING THE PARK DEPARTMENT AND NOT GETTING AN ANSWER OR LEAVING A MESSAGE AND NOT GETTING A CALL BACK.

WHILE MR. WAS IN CHARGE, THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD SEE HIM HAVING BREAKFAST OR LUNCH WITH THIS CREW THAT WAS JUST AS LITTLE PUCKS ALONG WITH THE EXPIRE, THE BASEBALL .

THEY CAME NON-EXISTENT WHEN THE CITY TOOK IT OVER FROM THE FORMER LEAGUE COURT.

LAST YEAR I MET WITH JOEY, OR THE YEAR BEFORE, I MET WITH JOEY RAMUS, THE PARTS COORDINATOR TO OFFER MY HELP WITH THE LEAD.

WHEN I MET HIM, HE WAS ALL ON BOARD AND SAID HE APPRECIATED THE HALL.

HE SAID HE WOULD GET BACK WITH US, BUT HE NEVER DID IT.

THE RESULT OF THE SEASON WAS A FAILURE.

THIS YEAR WITH THE HIRING OF A NEW COORDINATOR, THE LEAD PROSPERED BEYOND ANYONE'S EXPECTATIONS, EXPECTATIONS.

THE COORDINATOR, HOWEVER, HAD RESIGNED BECAUSE OF THE CONFLICTS WITH MR. AVILA, BUT THE PEOPLE SPOKE UP AND HE RETURNED TO THE POSITION AND HE PRODUCED A SUCCESSFUL SEASON.

AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE SOCCER SEASON IS GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL ALSO.

ARE YOU AS A COMMISSION READY TO GO BACKWARDS AND LOSE THE SUCCESS BEING MADE RIGHT NOW? BECAUSE IF YOU BRING HIM BACK, YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE REBUILDING THE PARTS OF RECREATION DEPARTMENT.

ANOTHER THING I BELIEVE IS THAT HE AND OTHERS HAVE BEEN THE REASON WHY I HAVE NOT BEEN APPOINTED TO THE PARTS BOARD.

I CAN'T COMPREHEND WHY THE CITY SECRETARY EMAILED ME A LIST OF OUR SUPPORT MEMBERS, WHICH IS INCORRECT, AND THEN PRODUCED ONE TO THE COMMISSIONERS.

THAT WAS DIFFERENT.

MY BIGGEST QUESTION IS WHY MR. GARCIA WAS ADDED BEFORE HE HAS EVEN BEEN APPOINTED.

AND I'VE BEEN REQUESTING TO BE ON THE BOARD FOR MONTHS ALREADY.

I'VE ALREADY BEEN GONE THROUGH THE APPLICATION.

I'VE BEEN CLEARED WITH MY, MY, UH, UH, BACKGROUND AND EVERYTHING.

SO I'M HERE TO SERVE.

I'M OUTSPOKEN, YOU KNOW, BUT, UH, I HOPE THAT THAT DOESN'T HINDER ME.

NO MORE, SIR.

UM, HAS ANY QUESTIONS, I, IT IS INCLUDED IN YOUR AGENDA PACKET.

[PRESENTATION(S)]

PRESENTATIONS.

IN TERMS OF CITY MANAGER CARLOS NIA, I'M PRESENTING THE CITY MANAGER'S REPORT.

YES, UH, MAYOR COMMISSION, FIRST OF ALL, I WANNA, UH, THANK, UH, THE MAYOR AND THE COMMISSION FOR, FOR THEIR TRUST.

I AM SERVING THE CITY MANAGER, AND I DO LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE STAFF AND MOVING THIS COMMUNITY FORWARD.

UM, AS WE ALL KNOW, DURING THIS, UH, TIME, WE HAVE, UH, THE ANTICIPATION OF BAD WEATHER, UH, IN ANTICIPATION OF THAT CITY CREW HAS BEEN WORKING, UH, CLEANING CURB AND GUTTERS, UH, STORM SEWER IN THAT DRAINAGE.

PRO AREAS, UH, DRAIN DITCHES WERE, WERE RECREATED AND CLEANED THROUGHOUT THE CITY, UH, TO HELP IMPROVE WATER FLOW.

AND, UH, THREE, THREE DO 510 SANDBAG FOR JUST CHEAPER TO RESIDENTS.

UM, CITY CREW.

ALSO, IF YOU NOTICE, UH, WHEN, UH, A RESIDENT CAME IN AND WHEN LEFT, WHEN THE COMMISSION CAME IN, HAVE, UH, PAVE HEAT STREET FROM SAN HOUSTON TO TO BOW STREET, UM, THEY JUST RECENTLY COMPLETED, UH, UH, THAT DAY, UH, BEFORE THAT END OF, UH, THE DAY TODAY.

UM, I ALSO WANTED TO, UH, TELL THE COMMISSION THAT WE ARE, UH, UH, TRYING TO DO A BETTER JOB TO, TO PLAN FOR, UH, FOR EVENTS.

UH, WE WILL START THE PLANNING FOR NEXT YEAR'S EVENT, INCLUDING THE FEST AND SOME OF THE OTHER EVENTS SO THAT WE CAN BE PROVIDING THE COMMISSION WITH A TIMELY, UH, REPORT AND, AND, UH, UH, APPROVAL OF EVERYTHING THAT HAS TO BE APPROVED, UM, INCLUDING THIS YEAR'S CHRISTMAS PARADE.

UH, SO WE'LL, WE'LL START THAT, UH, THIS THURSDAY.

WE HAVE MEETING SET FOR THAT.

UH, I WANTED TO GIVE THE, UH, THE COMMISSION AN UPDATE ON HP 500.

UH, JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT, UH, THE CITY RITO IS, UH, I THINK WE ARE WELL POSITIONED TO COMPETE FOR THIS FUNDING OPPORTUNITY.

UM, IN, IN, UH, IN, IN TERMS OF OUR SIZE, WE HAVE A LOT OF INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS.

AND I THINK THE THING THAT KIND OF, THAT HELPS US IS THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF THE ENGINEERING AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION ALREADY COMPLETED FOR SEVERAL OF THOSE PROJECTS.

UM, SO WE'RE HAPPY THAT WE HAVE THAT INFORMATION AND THE STAFF HAS BEEN COMPILING THAT INFORMATION AS WE SPEAK, UH, SO THAT WE CAN, UH, HAVE, UH, AN APPLICATION SO WE CAN PREPARE THE APPLICATION.

THE APPLICATION IS DUE, UH, JULY THE 30TH.

UH, WE ARE GOING OUT FOR RQS FOR ENGINEERING SERVICE IN CASE WE NEED TO PREPARE

[00:35:01]

AN APPLICATION.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT ALL THE OPTIONS, BUT IF WE NEED TO, WE ARE READY TO, UH, PREPARE THE APPLICATION AND SUBMIT THE APPLICATION.

UH, UH, STAFF IS, IS, UH, READY TO DO THAT.

UM, SO JUST, UH, IN TERMS OF, UH, UH, PROJECTS, WE HAVE ABOUT $16.9 MILLION IN PROJECTS, UH, THAT WOULD BE ELIGIBLE.

IT'S ONLY WATER PROJECTS, NOT NOT WASTE WATER PROJECTS.

UH, WE'RE LOOKING AT WEATHER TOWERS PROJECTS, UH, MAR BEATERS PROJECT, UH, THE RESPITE PROJECT 77 PROJECT.

UM, AND THIS INCLUDES PROJECTS THAT, UH, CAN BE REIMBURSED.

AND THAT IS ALL THEY HAVE.

THERE'S SMALL BUSINESSES AND THERE'S HOMES.

IT'S A RESIDENTIAL AREA.

AND SO WE'RE DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO CONSUME OUT WITH ALCOHOL ON PREMISES AND THEN WALKING AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH THAT BECAUSE IT'S NOT GOOD FOR THE BUSINESS THAT'S AROUND THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

SECOND OF ALL, I BELIEVE THAT IF BY STATE LAW, IF ANYONE PURCHASES ALCOHOL, THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO CONSUME ALCOHOL ON, ON A, ON A PREMISE, YOU KNOW, UNLESS THEY HAVE A LIQUOR LICENSE.

SO IF YOU, IF YOU WERE TO BUY ALCOHOL AT A CONVENIENCE STORE, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO TO DRINK THE ALCOHOL TO CONVENIENCE STORE.

YOU TAKE IT HOME AND CONSUME IT.

SO THIS, THIS IS, IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT FOR THE CITY.

AND THEN EARLIER YOU HAD A PASTOR HERE THAT ARE WORKING WITH ESTABLISHING FAMILIES.

I THINK THIS IS A GOOD THING FOR THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO TO DENY THIS.

I UNDERSTAND THE COMMERCIAL AREAS IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, BUT THIS IS A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND I THINK THAT DENYING THIS WOULD, WOULD BE A VERY POSITIVE THING FOR THE CITY.

NO SUBDIVISION WILL BE ALLOWED TO FRONT LOTS TO ANY EXISTING PRINCIPAL ARTERIAL, SECONDARY ARTERIAL CONDUCTOR, SUB COLLECTOR.

ANY EXISTING STREET OR ROAD.

OUR PROPOSED SUBDIVISION MUST CONSTRUCT STREETS INSIDE THE SUBDIVISION TO FRONT EACH CAR.

YOU SAID THEY HAVE TO CONSTRUCT WHAT, WHAT WAS THAT LAST PART? A ROAD THEY HAVE TO CONSTRUCT A ROAD LIKE A DRIVEWAY, A ROAD TO ENTER THE SUBDIVISION.

TO THE SUBDIVISION.

'CAUSE THAT, THAT THE ORDINANCE REQUIRES FOR THEM TO NOT FRONT MORE THAN TWO.

AND THEN THIS CASE THEY'RE DOING FOURTH.

THEY CAN'T JUST PUT A DRIVEWAY OFF OF LEVI ROAD LIKE MOST OF THOSE HOMES ALREADY DO.

THIS PARTICULAR SUBDIVISION IS GONNA BE CONTINUANCE.

UM, IT'S GONNA BE LIKE A PHASE TWO TOWARDS THE BACK.

SO THEY, THEY ARE PROPOSING TO BUILD THE ROAD IN BETWEEN THE LOTS.

THERE SHOULD BE A, LIKE A SURVEY IN THERE THAT SHOWS WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING AND IT'S A 60 FOOT RIGHT AWAY.

THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TWO LOTS WITH THE STREET IN THE MIDDLE AND THEN THE OTHER TWO LOTS COMMISSION.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION APPROVE THE OR THEY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL.

COMMISSIONER, ANY DISCUSSION QUESTIONS? DO HAVE A MOTION MA'AM? UM, DO THEY HAVE A INGRESS? AN EGRESS? DO THEY HAVE, SO ALL FOUR LOTS ARE GONNA FRONT LUBBOCK ROAD AND THEN, LIKE I SAID, THEY'RE GONNA MAKE A STREET IN BETWEEN TWO OF THE LOTS FOR A CONTINUING SUBDIVISION AT THE REAR.

THE CLIENT AND ZONING BOARD RECOMMENDS APPROVAL VOTE.

THIS ITEM THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO FRONT FOUR LOCKS OFF OF PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE.

COMMISSIONERS, THIS WAS THE, UH, THE, THE PROPERTY OFF OF PENNSYLVANIA.

MC YOS ON THE OTHER SIDE.

MC COLOR MC.

THAT WAS, UH, ANNEX.

RECENTLY UHHUH, THEY HAVE THE VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION TO CREATE A SINGLE FAMILY ONE.

NOW THEY'RE REQUESTING LAND DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, WHICH JUST ALLOWS THEM TO DO A LITTLE BIT, LITTLE BIT SMALLER LOTS THAN THE MINIMUM REQUIRED BY THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO.

SO THIS ITEM IS FOR A VARIANCE FOR THE SAME FOR FOUR LOTS.

20 OFF OF THE PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE.

THE PD D WILL COME ANOTHER BIT.

I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE MOTION BY COMMISSIONER PEREZ.

FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NUMBER 25 32 DASH ONE.

[7. First Reading of Ordinance Number 2638, a request to close, vacate and abandon a thirty-five (35) foot wide right of way, a portion of County Road 331 situated in San Benito Irrigated Land Company in Shares 1, 2, 3 & 4, San Pedro De Carricitos Grant, recorded in Volume 2, Page 6, Map Records of Cameron County, Texas.]

WELCOME BACK.

FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NUMBER 26 38.

A REQUEST TO CLOSE, VACATE AND ABANDONED A 35 FOOT WIDE ROAD RIGHTWAY, A PORTION OF COUNTY ROAD 3 31 SITUATED IN SANTO VAN COMPANY.

THIS IS THE FIRST READING, NO ACTION.

THE REQUEST OF THAT IN THIS PORTION OF THE ROAD RIGHT AWAY WAS INITIALLY SUBMITTED TO CITY STAFF IN 2024.

AT THAT TIME, OWNERSHIP OF THE RIGHT OF WAY WAS UNCLEAR.

NO RESEARCH CONDUCTED BY CITY STAFF AND GUIDANCE PROVIDED BY THE COUNTY.

IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ROADWAY WAS ORIGINALLY DEDICATED BY PLAT AND SUBSEQUENTLY CAME UNDER CITY OWNERSHIP UPON ANNEXATION OF THE AREA INTO THE CITY LIMITS.

PROPERTY OWNERS REQUESTING ABANDONMENT OF THIS ROADWAY BECAUSE THE ROADWAY HAS NEVER BEEN DEVELOPED OR UTILIZED AS A COMPLEX STREET.

ADDITIONALLY, THE PROPERTIES LOCATED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE RIGHT OF WAY ARE UNDER THE SAME OWNERSHIP AND THE CITY HAS NO CURRENT OR FUTURE IDENTIFIED NEED FOR THIS PORTION OF THE ROADWAY.

THE OWNER INTENDS TO PLACE A GATE TO DETER TRAFFIC FROM ENTERING THE PROPERTY AND PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE FIELD TO THE FIRST STREET COMMISSIONERS.

ANY QUESTION, MR. YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

I'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IT AS WELL.

YEAH, I WOULD, UH, REQUEST LEGAL TO, TO REVIEW THAT.

ARE THEY, ARE THEY ABLE TO PUT DEFENSE THOUGH? WE'LL HAVE LEGAL MAYBE PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER.

SO WITH PERMISSION RIGHT NOW IT'S DESIGNATED AS A RIGHT OF WAY.

RIGHT? AND IF IT'S WHAT WE WOULD CONSIDER AN ACTIVE, UH, RIGHT OF WAY, WE WOULD NOT ALLOW THAT HERE.

IF THERE'S AN ABANDONMENT OF THAT, WHICH, UH, THIS FIRST READING DOES PRESENT, HOW DO WE DO EFFECTIVELY DO ABANDON THAT? THAT COULD BE AT THAT POINT SOMETHING COULD TAKE PLACE SUCH AS A GATE.

UH, BUT WE'LL TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THAT.

THE CITY HAS RUN INTO SOME

[01:05:01]

WE'LL ANALYZE IT CAREFULLY.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER

[8. First Reading of Ordinance Number 2252-BK-070726, a request to rezone a property located at the intersection of East Stenger Street and Bella Vista Street bearing a Legal Description: Being Lots Three (3) and Four (4), Block Eight (8), Valencia Park Subdivision, City of San Benito, Cameron County, Texas, according to the Map or Plat thereof recorded in Volume 9, Page 38, of the Map records of Cameron County, Texas from SF-1 “Single Family One” to SF-2 “Duplex, Residential”.

THE APPLICANT'S REQUESTING TO REASON FROM SF ONE SINGLE FAMILY, ONE TO SF TWO DUPLEX RESIDENTIAL FOR PROPOSED DUPLEX ON EACH LOT.

AND THERE'S TWO LOTS.

FUTURE LAND USE MAP SHOWS NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION.

WHAT IS, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION RESIDENTIAL.

OKAY, WELL SF TWO IS JUST A SINGLE STORY.

ALLOWS A DUPLEX, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE THAT ARE ADJACENT TO EACH OTHER AND THEY SHARE A COMMON WALL.

QUAD PLEX.

THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GO.

TWO STORY.

THAT'S CORRECT.

FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NUMBER 2252 PL 0 7 0 7 2 6.

AND IT'S ONLY TWO LOCKS.

IT IT IS TWO LOCKS, YEAH.

THE DUPLEX ON EACH SHOT.

NO, ACTUALLY I'M ONLY THE FIRST READING.

SO WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER NINE.

[9. First Reading of Ordinance Number 2252-BL-070726, a request to rezone a property located near the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and South McCulloch Street, bearing a Legal Description of: Being a tract containing 17.23 acres of land situated out of Block Number Thirty-Three (33) of the San Benito Land and Water Company Subdivision, as recorded in the Cameron County Map Records, Cameron County, Texas, and further being in the same property (called 17.201 acres) as recorded in Volume 23856, Page 26 of the Cameron County Official Records, Cameron County, Texas from SF-1 “Single Family One” to PDD ”Planned Development District”.

UM, IT'S GONNA CONSIST OF RESIDENTIAL HOMES WITH 50 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY, A 20 FOOT FRONT STEPBACK AND LOT SIZES THAT DON'T MEET THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT AS SHOWN ON THE LOT TABLE ON THE ATTACHED ORDINANCE.

IS THERE A MINIMUM FOR PDD? IT'S WHAT, WHAT YOU APPROVE, BUT I MEAN, WE'RE GONNA MAKE, MAKE SURE THAT OR THAT BLACK COMES BACK TO US, CORRECT? YES.

UH, CONSIDERATION ACTUAL AND, AND POSSIBLE ACTIONS TO APPROVE RESOLUTION.

THEY CAN GO, UH, SMALLER THAN THE ORDINANCE, WHICH IS 50 BY ONE 20.

THE RESIDENTIAL LOCK SUBMISSION, IT'S NOT VERY, UM, MINIMAL UNIT.

THEY USUALLY GO 49, 48 AND 47 WITH JUST GIVE SOME ROOM TO PLAY WITH SOME EXTRA LOCKS.

THIS IS ONLY FOR THE DEPTH I HAVE.

OH, BETTER.

NO ACTION.

FIRST READING AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 10.

[10. Consideration and possible action to approve Resolution 2026-0623-001(R) by the City Commission of the City of San Benito, Texas, authorizing execution of a Principal Forgiveness Agreement with the Texas Water Development Board.]

20 26 0 DASH 6 23 DASH 0 0 1 R BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTO, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF A PRINCIPLE FORGIVENESS AGREEMENT WITH THE TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD ATTORNEY DANIEL AND MARTINEZ STEAD LAW FIRM AND ANDRE ALA, FINANCIAL ADVISORY WITH HILLTOP SECURITIES PRESENTING THIS ITEM.

MAYOR.

COMMISSIONERS, GOOD AFTERNOON.

UH, I'M ACTUALLY A CLERKED HILLTOP MANAGER.

UH, AND YOU HAVE HARD COPIES IN FRONT OF YOU.

WE SEE YOU ALL, UH, MAYOR, COMMISSIONER, UH, I'VE MET YOU ONCE BEFORE.

I'M ALA MY PARTNER WAS HERE.

UM, AND YOU WALK INTO A PLAN OF FINANCE, UH, WHICH HAS LED US TO THE, THESE TWO NEXT AGENDA ITEMS. SO I'LL COVER THE PRESENTATION HERE, BUT THIS COVERS, UH, THE, THE NEXT COUPLE AGENDA ITEMS. UM, WE SERVICE FINANCIAL ALLOWS YOU TO THE CITY OF SANTO AND, UH, PROBABLY DO SO.

UM, AND, UM, QUICK RECAP FOR FOR YOUR BENEFIT.

UH, MAYOR COMMISSIONERS BACK IN AUGUST OF 2025, UH, THE CITY MADE A DECISION TO PROCEED WITH AN APPLICATION TO THE, UH, TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD FOR FINDING.

UH, AND THE IDEA THERE WAS TO SEE IF YOU WERE, UM, IF YOU GOT THAT APPLICATION APPROVED.

UM, A NUMBER OF YOUR CONSULTANTS OURSELVES, CITY STAFF, UH, MR. DUN MARTINEZ WAS HERE PRESENT WORKING THAT APPLICATION.

YOUR ENGINEERS, IT GOT APPROVED.

UH, AND YOU GOT A FUNDING COMMITMENT FROM THE TEXAS FLORIDA DEVELOPMENT BOARD.

THEY GAVE YOU A 70%, UM, GRANT AND 30% SUBSIDIZED FUND, UH, WHICH IS THE BEST OUTCOME POSSIBLE UNDER THIS PROGRAM BECAUSE 70% GRANT WAS THE MOST THAT THEY WOULD GIVE OUT TO APPLICANTS.

AND YOU GOT THAT FULL 70% IN THE FORM OF A GRANT.

THAT'S MONEY THAT, UH, THE CITY DOES NOT HAVE TO REPAY.

UM, AND I APOLOGIZE IF I CAN'T GET THE PAPER TO, UM, AGAIN, ANOTHER RECAP.

UH, THIS PROJECT IS FOR $9.5 MILLION OF AMERICAN COMMISSIONERS.

THE GRANT THAT THE GRANT PORTION OF THAT IS $6.6 MILLION.

THAT'S MONEY THAT THE CITY DOES NOT HAVE TO REPAY.

AND THEN THE WAY THE WATER BOARD WORKS IN THESE PROJECTS IS THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL COMES IN THE FORM OF A SUBSIDIZED LOAN.

THAT'S $2.9 MILLION.

THE WATER BOARD IS

[01:10:01]

OFFERING YOU A 35% SUBSIDY ON THE INTEREST RATES, UM, ON A CREDIT MARKET INTEREST RATE.

SO, UH, ASSUMING A DOUBLE A CREDIT RATING, STRONG RATING UNTIL YOU GET A 35% DEDUCTION TO THAT INTEREST RATE.

ON TOP OF THAT, UH, THE, WHAT, WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IN FRONT OF YOU TO CONSIDER IS ISSUING CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION, UH, TO FUND THAT $2.9 MILLION PORTION OF THE PROJECT WITH A SUBSIDIZED .

THIS WOULD BE A 30 YEAR TRANSACTION WIDE, 30 YEARS.

THE IDEA HERE IS TO GIVE YOU AS MUCH ANNUAL RELIEF TO YOUR BUDGET AS POSSIBLE.

AND 'CAUSE THEY'RE OFFERING YOU SUCH A HEAVY SUBSIDY, IT MAKES SENSE TO GO 30 YEARS THAT, YOU KNOW, SHOULD YOU HAVE PROJECTS IN THE FUTURE ON THE WATER SEWER SIDE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO, YOU KNOW, HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY IF THAT'S SOMETHING THE CITY WANTS TO THINK ABOUT LATER ON.

UH, THIS IS NOT ON THE PROPERTY TAX SIDE.

MAYOR COMMISSIONER WITH THE REPAYMENT SOURCE BASED ON THE WATER AND SEWER REVENUES OF THE CITY.

WE'VE ANALYZED THOSE FINANCIALS ON YOUR 2025 AUDIT SHOWS A VERY HEALTHY AND PROFITABLE SYSTEM.

MEANING AFTER YOUR REVENUES COME IN AND YOU PAY FOR YOUR OPERATING EXPENSES AND YOU'RE UPSTANDING DEBT, YOU'RE ABLE TO ABSORB, UH, THIS LOAN AND STILL HAVE SURPLUS REVENUES ON TOP OF THAT.

MEANING YOU HAVE A PROFITABLE SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS THE ABSORPTION OF THIS ADDITIONAL DEBT WITHOUT HAVING TO THINK ABOUT MOVING RATES ON THE UTILITY SIDE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

YOU, YOU'RE ABLE TO COVER IT WITH CURRENT CASH FLOW.

AND I'LL GET INTO THE CASH FLOW IF YOU WANT ME TO DO THE, THAT LAST WEEK.

YOU LOCKED INTEREST RATES, GO BACK, YOU WANNA GO BACK.

THERE IS, UM, LAST WEEK YOU LOCKED INTEREST RATES FOR THE LAW.

THEY'RE OFFERING YOU A 2.95% INTEREST RATE FOR THE LIFE OF THE LOAN.

THAT'S FIXED AS OF TODAY.

AS YOU MOVE FORWARD, THAT'S NOT GONNA MOVE.

THAT'S A, A HARD OFFER FROM THE TEXAS WATER LOAN BOARD.

THAT'S AFTER THE SUBSIDY, WHICH IS A VERY NICE WAY TO GET IN CURRENT NUTRITION ENVIRONMENTS TODAY.

WHEN ANY QUESTIONS SO FAR, MAYOR? COMMISSIONERS, WE CAN MOVE TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

I CAN'T SEE TO WORK THIS ONE.

WHEN WE WORKED ON WATER BOARD TRANSACTIONS WITH OUR CLIENTS, WE'D LIKE TO COME UP WITH A SLIDE TO QUANTIFY TO YOU ON THE BENEFIT OF HAVING DONE WITH THE WATER BOARD.

BECAUSE KEEP IN MIND THAT SOTO CAN ALWAYS GO OUT ON YOUR OWN ON ITS OWN AND, AND GET THAT YOU DO HAVE A DOUBLE TRADE BOND RATING.

VERY STRONG RATING.

YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE OPTION TO GO OUT HERE.

THE WATER PORT'S LONGER PROCESS.

IT'S, THIS STARTED IN AUGUST OF 2025, BUT IT PAID OFF.

UM, HAD YOU GONE OUT ON YOUR OWN, THE TOTAL PRINCIPLE AND INTEREST OF BORROWING $9.5 MILLION IS CLOSE TO 17.2 MILLION BUCKS.

THE TOTAL BENEFIT, BECAUSE OF THE GRANTS AND INTEREST SAVINGS TO THE CITY HERE IS, UH, AROUND 1229 $10 MILLION OF BENEFITS TO THE CITY.

THAT'S A REAL BENEFIT THAT YOU'D BE LOCKING IN BY APPROVING THIS FUNDING COMMITMENT FROM THE WATER TODAY.

AGAIN, UM, YOU ARE DOUBLE A CREDIT RATE, BUT IT JUST DOESN'T MEET A GRANT WITH A 35% SOURCE.

SO I THINK IT'S A VERY, IT'S VERY NICE FOR THE CITY.

UH, THIS IS THE HIGHEST PORTION YOU'RE GONNA GET ON THE GRANT 'CAUSE THEY CAVEAT 70%.

SO WE WERE GLAD TO SEE THAT WE DID CATCH A NICE INATE ENVIRONMENT.

THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF STABILITY IN THE MARKET THESE DAYS AND THERE'S NOT, THERE'S A LOT OF GLOBAL, UH, ECONOMIC, GLOBAL ECONOMIC STUFF GOING ON, BUT RATES HAVE STABILIZED A BIT AND YOU WERE ABLE TO CATCH A LITTLE BIT OF THAT WAY.

UM, THEREBY LOCKING INTO 2.95%.

I KNOW YOU HAD QUESTIONS LAST TIME ABOUT PREPAYMENTS.

YOU RETAINED THAT OPTION.

IF YOU EVER WERE TO WANT TO REFINANCE THIS, YOU COULD DO IT AT YEAR 10.

IF RATES FOREVER LOWER THAN 2.95%, YOU CAN REFINANCE THAT EXISTING LOAN.

IF WE WERE ABLE TO CATCH A LOWER THAN 2.95% OR WHATEVER, IF YOU EVER HAVE A CASH WINDFALL, YOU CAN ALWAYS PUT A DENT IN THIS PRINCIPLE AMOUNT BEFORE THAT, MEANING SET ASIDE SOME CASH, WHETHER IT'S 5,000, A HUNDRED THOUSAND, OR THE ENTIRE AMOUNT, YOU ALWAYS RE RETAIN THAT OPTION TO DO THAT AND GET IT OFF YOUR BOOKS.

BUT TO REFINANCE, THAT'S WHEN YOU'RE, YOU'RE BOUND TO A 10 YEAR STANDARD REFINANCE OPTION.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? I KNOW YOU ALL HAD A CONVERSATION WITH MY PARTNER LAST TIME.

UH, WITH THAT, UH, WE CAN GET INTO THE CASH FLOWS.

YOUR CLOSING DATE IS SET FOR JULY 20TH.

MAYOR COMMISSIONERS, IF YOU, YOU APPROVE THIS TODAY, YOU'D BE DONE FROM AN ACTION PERSPECTIVE.

NOW YOU CLOSE ON IT.

THE FUNDS WOULD GO TO A DEDICATED ACCOUNT TO SERVE AS A PROJECT THAT, UH, IS KIND OF LIKE AN ACCOUNT THAT THE WATER BOARD, UH, AND, AND THE CITY GETS TO WORK ON DRAWING DOWN THE FUNDS.

AND YOU WILL HAVE A CLOSE 20 DONE WITH THIS TRANSITION.

THERE'S NO QUESTIONS.

WE HAVEN'T ENTERTAINED ANYTHING TO THROW AROUND A LOT OF NUMBERS, BUT PLEASE LEMME

[01:15:01]

KNOW.

IT'S A TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD LOAN OR ORINATION FEE ALWAYS THE SAME OR THAT CHANGES.

IT CHANGES FROM YEAR TO YEAR.

IT STARTED 1.5%.

IT'S, IT WENT UP TO 1.75%.

WE SEE IT AT 2% NOW IN THIS SPECIFIC FISCAL YEAR.

UM, COUPLE EVERY YEAR, THEY, THEY REASSESS IT AND THEY'VE ALWAYS INCREASED IT.

UM, BUT 2% HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A COUPLE YEARS NOW.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT THIS, AT THIS, UH, AT THIS PL 9.3 IS WHAT WOULD GO TOWARDS THE PROJECT.

AND THE WHOLE BUDGET WAS SIZED BASED ON THAT AMOUNT.

UM, SO THAT IT FUNDS THE PROJECT.

LAST TIME WE DISCUSSED THIS, WE DISCUSSED THE WATERLINE IMPROVEMENT ON BOTH SIDES OF VISTA 77.

IS THAT STILL ACCURATE? YOUR STAFF? I THINK, IS IT CARLOS, MR. MAR? YES.

WOULD AM BE OKAY? OH, HE'S HERE.

ALSO, WE'RE ATTRACTING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

I WELCOME.

YOU WANNA COME FORWARD AND YOU JUST TOUCH BASE A LITTLE BIT ON THE PROJECT FOR THE COMMISSIONERS.

GOOD.

MAYOR COMMISSIONERS.

MY NAME'S CAPITAL MINING ARCHITECT.

CIVIL ENGINEERING WE'RE THE ENGINEERS FOR THE PROJECT.

AND THE PROJECT LED.

IT INVOLVES REPLACING AC LINES, OLD AC LINES, UM, AND REPLACING THEM WITH BVC LINES, WHICH IS GONNA REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF MAINTENANCE WATER LOSSES, WHICH ARE VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.

AND IT'S INCLUDES APPROXIMATELY EIGHT MILES OF, OF PIPELINES.

THEY'RE GONNA BE REPLACED WITH YOU, UH, AC LINES.

AND FROM EIGHT, 10 AND 12 INCH LINES.

IT'S GONNA CREATE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR NOT ONLY SAVING MONEY, BUT ALSO ULTIMATELY IT'S GONNA BE PART OF A REGIONAL EFFORT OF WHICH CITIES IS PART HOW IMPROVE EFFICIENCY OF WATER SYSTEMS, BUT NOT JUST FOR IMPROVING GRAVE EFFICIENCY.

IS THE LINE GONNA BE ON BOTH SIDES? BOTH SIDES? CORRECT.

IS THERE ANY RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION THAT NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE? THE ANY RIGHT WAY? ACQUISITION WILL COME IN THE NEXT TWO OR 10, 10 YEARS.

WHENEVER A TDO DECIDES TO WIDEN, UH, HIGHWAY.

BUT WE DON'T ENVISION THAT BE ISSUE.

I THINK THEY WERE JUST LINING ON CONVERTING TO THREE LANES ON EACH SIDE AND TAKING AWAY THE SHOULDER.

RIGHT.

BUT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT A 10 FOOT WIDE SHARED USE PATH.

I THINK THEY'RE ANTICIPATING ON THE CHICK-FIL-A SIDE.

WHATABURGER, WHY DO I SAY CHICK-FIL-A? JUST BECAUSE WE LOVE THAT.

THAT'S THE COMMISSION NOTES.

UM, ALSO, DOES THIS AFFECT ANY, I KNOW THAT THE HOSPITAL 500 HAS OPPORTUNITY FOR FUNDING.

THAT WAS DISCUSSED A LITTLE BIT EARLIER.

DOES THIS HINDER THE, I GUESS THIS DOES LOWER OUR POINTS BECAUSE THIS WILL BE FUNDING FROM THE TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD AND THAT'S PART OF THE POINT SYSTEM.

WELL, THE, THE, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT HP 500, IT'S REALLY TO INCREASE EFFICIENCY AND WHAT IT CAN DO.

IF YOU DECIDE NOT TO MOVE FORWARD, FOR EXAMPLE, THEN IT WOULD BE REDUCE YOUR OPPORTUNITY FOR GETTING FUTURE FUNDS.

'CAUSE YOU, YOU'VE GOT AN OFFER, YOU GIVE IT TO YOU, IT'S A GOOD, AND IF YOU'RE PAYING, IT'S A GOOD CLIENT.

KPI, THEN IT MAKES IT LOOK BAD IF YOU DON'T TAKE IT.

BUT I DON'T THINK IT AFFECTS YOU MOVING FORWARD.

WE JUST, WE, WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO, TO APPLY FOR THE SAME, UH, UH, PROJECT.

BUT WE CAN, WE, WE WERE PLANNING ON SUBMITTING THIS PROJECT FOR REIMBURSEMENT, THOUGH WE COULDN'T APPLY BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAD FUNDING FOR IT IN THERE.

SO WE COULDN'T, WE COULDN'T USE TWO PROGRAMS IN ONE WE WOULDN'T QUALIFY FOR.

BUT ALL THE OTHER PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE WOULD QUALIFY UNDER THE HOSPITAL.

500.

YES, YES.

ESPECIALLY IF YOU MAKE IT PART OF A REGIONAL PROJECT, THEN YOU'RE GONNA RANK MUCH HIGHER.

AND THAT'S LY WHAT WE'RE TALKING WITH, UH, WITH THE CITY AND AS PRIORITIZING PROJECTS THAT HAVE A HIGH KPI.

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, ARE THEY PART OF AN OVERALL REGIONAL PROJECT? AND THAT'S SORT OF THE DISCUSSIONS THAT WE NEED TO HAVE WITH THE MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS AND THE MANAGER TO IDENTIFY THOSE PRIORITY PROJECTS RANK VERY HIGH, HIGHER, AND THEY'RE GONNA RANK HIGHER THE REGION.

THIS HAS A POTENTIAL BE PART REGIONAL, REGIONAL PROJECT.

CAN, ARE WE STILL ABLE TO APPLY OUT TO 500 FOR CITY PROJECTS? YES.

AND, AND THROUGH THE PUA YOU CAN DO IT BOTH.

APPRECIATE THE CONVERSATION.

IF THE REGIONAL PROJECTS WERE BLACK BO RANK HIGHER, YOU CAN SUBMIT INDIVIDUAL AS WELL.

BUT THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER SOURCES.

AND THAT'S PART OF OUR DISCUSSION OF COMING UNDER THE UA, THE CITY MANAGER.

THERE'S FEDERAL, THERE'S PHILANTHROPIC SOURCES, AND YOU REALLY NEED THE LEVERAGE MODEL.

AND ITS NET BANK FUNDING AS WELL.

LET THE PULL BACK A LITTLE BIT HERE.

[01:20:01]

COMMISSIONERS, THIS HAS BEEN A LONG PROJECT.

I THINK MAYOR OMA IS WORKING ON IT.

UH, EDWARD ENRIQUE, CENTRAL PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR PRESENTING THIS ITEM

[01:40:06]

I HAVE A PICTURE TO SHOW HOW BAD THIS LINE WAS.

AND AGAIN, AS AN EMERGENCY, THE JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER DOWN THE STREET, UH, THE BLUE MARLIN BUNCH OF THIS GOING ON WOULD'VE BEEN OFF SORE SERVICE.

SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE COULD NOT HOLD BACK.

DO WE GET QUOTES FROM OTHER NO SIR.

FEATHER, WE JUST GOT ONE SOLE VENDOR.

WE JUST, YEAH, WE GOT, HE WAS THE ONE THAT WAS AVAILABLE RIGHT AWAY.

WE, IF HAD WE WAITED LONGER, THIS HAPPENED IN THE EVENING, BUSINESS WOULD'VE BEEN WITHOUT THE SERVICE AND THE JUVENILES HAD FINISHED RIGHT THERE.

I KNOW.

I PASSED BY THE HOLE AND IT WAS A FRIDAY, SO IT ROLLED INTO THE WEEKEND.

AND WE STILL HAVE TO DO UTILITY CHECK, WHICH TAKES SEVERAL DAYS SOMETIMES, DEPENDING ON ALL THE ENTITIES.

SO LET'S JUST TRY TO MAKE SURE WE GET SEVERAL CODES.

SO THAT WAY IT IS AN EMERGENCY REPAIR.

I UNDERSTAND IT HAS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF QUICKLY, BUT AT LEAST WE DID OUR DUE DILIGENCE AND GOT SEVERAL QUOTES.

YES SIR.

THE MANUAL THAT NEEDS TO GET FIXED ALL THE NIGHT.

WE ARE WORKING ON GETTING QUOTES FOR THOSE.

WE NEEDED TWO GUYS SO THAT WE CAN, BUT THIS ONE WAS AN EMERGENCY AND WE COULD NOT WAIT AND WAITED IT FOR A FEW DAYS 'CAUSE IT WAS RAINING.

SO YOU HAD 72 HOURS.

NO, I WAS NOTIFIED BY MY STAFF THAT IT HAD HAPPENED THAT DAY AND THAT'S WHEN THEY NOTIFIED OMT AND THEY HAD ALREADY BEEN THERE TO ASSESS THE SITUATION.

LET'S JUST MAKE SURE, HOW LONG DOES IT USUALLY TAKE FOR UTILITIES TO SPRAY? COME ON.

UH, WHAT'S THE NUMBER? EVERYBODY SHOULD KNOW IT.

8 1 1.

YOU DID? YEAH, WE'RE GOING.

THEY TAKE A LONG TIME.

COMM, IT'LL BE INTENT THAT TO GET EMERGENCY.

AND I THINK WE'RE LOOKING ON THE, UH, THINGS ARE FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY AND TYPICALLY , THEY, THEY'LL, UH, THEY CAN PUT A, A LARGE FINE ON IT.

SO THAT'S THAT KIND OF, YOU KNOW, HELPS US TO MOVE ALONG.

BUT WE UNDERSTAND.

COMMISSIONER, ANY QUESTIONS? I HAVE A MOTION.

[1. Consideration and possible action to remove, appoint, or reappoint a member to the Planning and Zoning Commission for the place and term starting and expiring as shown: a) Place 1 - Term June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2026 b) Place 2 - Term June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2026 c) Place 3 - Term June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2026 d) Place 4 - Term June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2026 e) Place 5 - Term June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2026]

THE FUN PART.

UH, COMMISSIONERS WILL START OFF, UH, JUAN COUNTY MANAGER REPRESENTING ITEM CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE ACTION TO REMOVE, APPOINT OR REAPPOINT A MEMBER TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING OR MEMBERS, THE CLIENT AND ZONING COMMISSION FOR THE PLACE AND TERMS STARTING AND AS SHOWN CASES ONE THROUGH FIVE.

UM, THEY EXPIRED ON MAY 31ST, 2026.

UM, FOR THE CORRESPONDING PLACES, ONE THROUGH FIVE.

UM, THEIR TERMS WILL BE PLACES ONE, TWO, AND FIVE ARE TWO YEAR TERMS. AND PLACES THREE AND FOUR ARE ONE YEAR TERMS, WHICH WILL EXPIRE IN 27 AND 28.

MS. MONICA, I SAW AN ORDINANCE THAT SAYS PLACE FIVE OR HIGHER GOES TO THE MAYOR.

IS THAT ORDINANCE STILL? THIS IS STILL ACTIVE.

UM, ORDINANCE 2075 ADOPTED 11 16 93.

THEN I ALSO SEE THE CHARTER STATES OF DIFFERENT THINGS AND THEN I SEE EACH INDIVIDUAL BOARD STATE DIFFERENT THINGS.

ADVISORY COMMITTEE? AND THEN THE CHARTER MIGHT READ SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

SO THIS ONE IS FOR IT'S ORDINANCE 25 25.

AND THIS IS FOR ESTABLISHMENTS OF THE BOARD.

AND YEAH, IT DOES, IT DOES MENTION IN HERE, UM, THE MEMBERS, IT'S FIVE MEMBERS TO EACH CITY BOARD.

UH, LINE ITEM B, THE END THE MAYOR SHALL BE ENTITLED TO NOMINATE A PERSON TO SERVE ON ANY POSITION ON ANY CITY BOARD FOR PLACE.

FIVE AND HIGHER APPOINTMENT SHOULD BE MADE ON THE SECOND REGULAR MEETING IN THE MONTH AFTER CITY ELECTIONS.

THAT WAS NOT THE CASE.

UH, AN APPOINTMENT SHALL SERVE THE TERM OF THE ELECTED OFFICIAL APPOINTING THEM EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY STATUTE OR LAW.

SO MEANING THAT THE COMMISSIONER, STAFF AND MAYOR ARE NO LONGER HERE, THOSE BOARD APPOINTMENTS WOULD FALL OFF.

WOULD THIS ORDINANCE SUPERSEDE THE INDIVIDUAL ORDINANCES FOR EACH

[01:45:01]

SO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S SOME, UM, G THERE.

SO WHAT RULES OF THE CITY IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE ARE CITY CHARTER.

UM, SOMETIMES IT CAN HAPPEN SOME THESE CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE WE DO HAVE SOME ORDINANCES, UH, THAT FOR WHATEVER REASON DO CONFLICT WITH THE, UH, CHARTER.

UH, IN THAT SITUATION, THE CHARTER WILL ALWAYS SUPERSEDE, UM, AN ORDINANCE, ALRIGHT, BECAUSE THE ORDINANCE MAY CONFLICT AND THEN WE TAKE IT ONE AT SHAMAN LOWER.

LET'S JUST SAY FOR EXAMPLE, AN ADVISORY BOARD WERE TO SET THEIR OWN BYLAWS.

UH, IN THIS CASE, LET'S JUST SAY FOR EXAMPLE, APPOINTMENTS, WE WOULD ALWAYS STILL COME BACK TO THE CITY CHARTER.

IF THE CITY CHARTER FOR WHATEVER REASON IS, IS MUTE WHEN IT COMES TO THAT, UM, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT ADVISORY BOARD, THEN YOU WOULD THEN FALL BACK TO YOUR CITY ORDINANCES, YOUR CITY ORDINANCES WOULD THEN SUPERSEDE ANY BYLAW THAT THAT RESPECTIVE ADVISORY BOARD HAS, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.

SO FOR NOW, I'D LIKE TO GO THROUGH THE PLACE ONE THROUGH FIVE FOR THE BOARD APPOINTMENTS, COMMISSIONERS, AND THEN SO WE CAN GET A FINAL, UH, LEGAL OPINION ON PLACES FIVE, UH, SIX AND SEVEN.

SO FOR, WE'LL START WITH THE BOARD APPOINTMENTS FOR NUMBER ONE CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE ACTION TO REMOVE, APPOINT OR REAPPOINT A MEMBER OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FOR THE PLACE AND TERMS STARTING AND EXPIRING AS SHOWN.

SO MAYOR, JUST A QUICK TIDBIT IF I MAY.

UH, SO IF SOMEBODY DOES HAVE A NAME, UM, THE MOTION WOULD LOOK LIKE THIS.

FOR EXAMPLE, PURSUANT TO ROBERTS WAS AWARD I MOTION TO APPOINT, FOR EXAMPLE, JOHN DOE SECOND.

AND THEY WOULD VOTE FOR THAT RESPECTIVE PLACE.

IF WHATEVER REASON THAT DOES NOT PASS, THEN SOMEBODY IS UP OR THAT SAME PERSON TO MAKE THE MOTION TO THEN MAKE THEM A SAME MOTION FOR A DIFFERENT NAME, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.

SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT OUR APPOINTEES HAVE TO BE APPROVED YES.

COURT TO CHARTER? THAT'S CORRECT.

IT HAS TO BE, UH, A MAJORITY VOTE FOR THE CITY COMMISSION, UH, FOR PINE AND ZONING.

DO WE WANT, DO YOU WANT TO TOUCH BASE AND TO LIVE WITHIN THE RESIDENT OF THE CITY LIMITS? DOES IT SAY THAT ETJI THINK THEY HAVE TO BE, I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO CLEAN THIS UP AND JUST MAKE ONE.

EACH MEMBER SHALL BOTH BE A RESIDENT AND TAXPAYER OF THE CITY OF SAN MIGUEL AND LIVE WITHIN, WITHIN CITY LIMITS.

I THINK THE LAW STATES OF THE TJ OF THE CITY.

IT SAYS, THIS ONE SAYS OF THE CITY OF .

THIS, OKAY, IS THAT THE BYLAWS FOR THE DINING ZONING? THIS IS FOR, YEAH, SECTION 16.

UH, I HAVE A MOTION FOR PLACE ONE.

WHOSE PLACE? ONE.

I AM I, UM, SO I MAKE A MOTION TO APPOINT MELISSA FOR THIS ON THE, UH, VENUE AND ZONING.

I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE ALL THE APPOINTMENTS ARE EXPIRED.

THEY'RE ALL EXPIRED.

OKAY, GO AHEAD.

UM, I DID WANT TO ADD, AND I DIDN'T CATCH THIS TILL AFTER, BUT, UH, MAYOR HAD PREVIOUSLY, UH, APPOINTED MR. HECTOR HMM.

TO A POSITION.

SO I DIDN'T INCLUDE THAT PLACE ON THERE.

BUT I'D LIKE TO, UH, AFFORD THE OPPORTUNITY IF YOU WANNA MOVE FORWARD WITH HIM OR, UH, YEAH, WE CAN.

THIS IS A INTERESTING ONE.

'CAUSE ON THE BYLAWS IT STATES THAT THE MAYOR MAKES THE APPOINTMENT BY APPROVAL OF THE CITY COMMISSION.

UM, I SURE FOR PLACE I WANT TO THANK CAPTAIN TOO FOR SPEARHEADING THIS GROUP.

IT'S NOT THE EASY TASK FORCE.

EVERYBODY WANTS TO PUT STOP LIGHT SPEED HUMP EVERYWHERE.

THERE'S A PROCESS AND IT TAKES A MAJORITY OF A SPECIFIC PERCENTAGE OF NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTS PERCENTAGE, UH, 85%, THE 5%, IT'S AGGRESSIVE.

SO, UM, IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, WE REALLY HAVEN'T HAD TOO MUCH NEW BUSINESS.

WHEN SOMETHING DOES COME UP, WE PROACTIVELY TAKE AN APPROACH TO THROW OUR TRAFFIC MONITORING EQUIPMENT OUT IN DIFFERENT AREAS.

AND THEN WE PROVIDE, UH, FEEDBACK AND REAL TIME, UH, DATA TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE REQUESTING, UH, OR SUGGESTING THAT THERE'S SPEEDERS IN CERTAIN AREAS.

AND MOST OF THAT DATA HAS PROVEN TO SHOW THAT MAYBE PERCEPTION, UH, MAY ADD BE TO OR ADD TO THEIR, THEIR BELIEF THAT THERE'S EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF SPEEDERS IN DIFFERENT AREAS.

I WILL HELP YOU AND ASSIST YOU IN ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD WISH, BUT IF YOU CAN BE ON THERE, I DON'T MEANS CAN, UH, GUESS FOR A LEGAL REVIEW.

CAN COMMISSIONER SIT ON ADVISORY BOARD? WE SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

QUESTION ABOUT, UM, THE BACKGROUND CHECKS.

SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I RESEARCHED, UM, MYSELF AND MS. MCGINNIS WHEN IT COMES TO BACKGROUND CHECKS IN CERTAIN AREAS.

UH, WELL, I GUESS, LET ME BACK UP.

THE ANALYSIS BEGINS WITH ARE WE LEGALLY REQUIRED? IS THERE SOME STATUTE OR GOVERNING CODE THAT REQUIRES US TO DO BACKGROUND CHECKS? THE IMMEDIATE ANSWER WOULD BE NO.

BUT IT HAS BEEN A STANDARD PRACTICE.

RIGHT? AND THERE HAS BEEN SOME OPINIONS, UM, TO STATE, UM, THAT FOR CERTAIN AREAS, WELL WE SHOULD DO THAT SPECIFICALLY.

THOSE MAYBE AROUND, UH, CHILDREN, RIGHT? MAYBE BASEBALL COACHES.

THESE ARE JUST EXAMPLES.

AGAIN, THE CITY SECRETARY'S FUNCTION, UH, FOR THE CITY IS JUST THINK ABOUT, UM, HE OR SHE.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE MS. MCGINNIS, UM, BUT YOU KNOW, THEIR FUNCTION IS TO BE MORE OF THE CITY SECRETARY ADMITTED HEAD ADMINISTRATOR.

UH, WHEN IT COMES TO OFFICIAL RECORDS FOR THE CITY, MAYBE WE COULD DELEGATE THIS TASK IF THAT'S WHAT THE COMMISSION MAYOR WOULD LIKE.

MAYBE, UH, TO SOMEBODY WHO DEAL WITH MORE WITH PERSONNEL, WHICH WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR HR MEET WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT OR, UH, DIRECTLY UNDER ADVISING OF THE SAME MANAGER.

MS. CAN WE TAKE A LOOK AT THAT? YES.

TPP HR HANDLES THAT MAYOR BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN, UH, PROPERLY TRAINED ON UNDER THOSE MATTERS.

TO ITEM EIGHT.

ALMOST THERE.

CONSIDERATION POSSIBLE ACTION TO REMOVE, APPOINT OR REAPPOINT MEMBERS TO SAN DIEGO, EDC BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR PLACE AND TERMS STARTING EXPIRING AS SHOWN OMO PRESENTING THIS ITEM MIGHT OMO NO ONE TOLD HIM.

NOT HERE.

WHO WANTS TO APPOINT PLACE? ONE.

MAYOR, IF I MAY, JUST BEFORE WE START, JUST TO GET GENERAL UNDERSTANDING IF, UH, FOR SOME OF THE NEW COMMISSIONERS AS TO, UM, THE EC DEPARTMENTS, Y'ALL WOULD LIKE THAT? I CAN GIVE SOME INFORMATION DOWN HERE IF YOU'D LIKE.

SHOULD GO AHEAD.

YES, PLEASE.

SURE THAT WE STAYING IN LINE WITH OTHER GOVERNING BODIES ARE DOING.

SO I'LL, I'LL SUMMARIZE THIS AND I DID WRITE A MEMO TO THE CITY, WHICH I WILL SHARE, UM, WITH EVERYBODY.

UH, THE CONCLUSION.

SO THE EDC OR THE TAXI DEVELOP, UH, CORPORATION ACT OF CARDS, THE GOVERN BODY TO APPOINT ALL SEVEN DIRECTORS, WHICH WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST.

THE CHARTER SETS THE GENERAL RULE FOR THE BOARD NOMINATION, AND THE CITY HAS ADOPTED A DEDICATED EEC TO ORDINANCE.

SO WE HAVE TWO ACTS.

WE HAVE THE CONTROLLING STATUTE, WHICH OUR CITY CHARTER DOES, UH, TALK ABOUT.

SO HERE WE HAVE ARTICLE ONE POINT 14, DIVISION TWO OF THE CODE, WHICH EFFECTIVELY IS ORDINANCE 25 86.

AND THEN THE RESPECTIVE BYLAWS.

UM, THE ARTICLE ONE, WHICH WE HAVE HERE, SETS OUT THE EXCLUSIVE PROCEDURE FOR APPOINTING AND REMOVING EEC DIRECTORS.

IT GIVES EACH MEMBER OF THE COMMISSION, INCLUDING THE MAYOR, THEIR FIRST RIGHT TO NOMINATE ONE CORRESPONDING BOARD SEAT.

THEY TWO SEATS AT LARGE FOR NOMINATION BY ANY MEMBER.

IT REQUIRES THE FULL COMMISSION TO CONFIRM EVERY NOMINEE BY MAJORITY VOTE.

WE DO HAVE SOME CONFLICTING ORDINANCES, WHICH I WILL THEN BRING UP AT A LATER DATE JUST SO WE CAN RECONCILE, UH, THOSE.

AND THOSE WOULD BE 2157 AND 2171.

UM, WE WILL THEN BRING THEM BACK, UH, TO, TO REALLY JUST CLEAN THAT UP, UM, AGAIN, BY STATUTE.

NOW WHAT IT GOVERNS AT THE STATE LEVEL, THE EDC IS A TYPE B CORPORATION UNDER THE, UM, DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION ACT GOVERNED BY CHAPTER 5 0 5.

THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE TWO SECTIONS MATTER HERE.

UH, THE APPOINTMENT TERM REMOVAL, THE BOARD HAS SEVEN DIRECTORS EACH APPOINTED BY THE GOVERNMENT BODY OF THE AUTHORIZING MUNICIPALITY FOR TWO YEAR TERM AND REMOVAL BY THE GOVERNING BODY AT ANY TIME WITHOUT CAUSE.

THAT WOULD BE SEC SUBSECTION 5 0 5 0.051.

AND WE HAVE COMPOSITION AND RESIDENCY.

AT LEAST THREE OF THE SEVEN DIRECTORS MUST NOT BE CITY EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, OR COMMISSION MEMBERS.

SO NO MORE THAN FOUR MAY BE CITY OFFICIALS.

AND BECAUSE OF THE SAN JUANS POPULATIONS, 20,000 MORE EVERY DIRECTOR MUST RECITE INSIDE THE CITY LIMITS STATES PURSUANT TO SECTION 5 0 5 0.052.

ANY QUESTIONS IN REGARD TO ANY OF THAT? IT'S JUST THE COMPLETELY ORDINANCES I IN HERE MENTIONED ORDINANCE 25 25, ESTABLISHING THE BOARD OF THE CITY OF SANTO, DESCRIBED AS MEMBERSHIP AND GOVERNANCE.

WE'LL MAKE SURE TO RECONCILE ALL THOSE HERE JUST SO THAT THERE ISN'T, UM, REALLY ANY CONFUSION IF ANYBODY WERE TO REALLY START TO LOOK AT THOSE OR ANALYZE THOSE.

UM, SO THE NEXT REGULAR SCHEDULE, I WOULD DO A RECONCILIATION OF THOSE ORDINANCES.

SO THEY'RE CLEAN.

I CHECKED INTO THE, SOME NEIGHBORING CITIES, USUALLY PLACE FIVE AND HIGHER AND FOLLOW THE SAME DESIGNATION AS THE, THOSE FOUR APPOINTMENTS GO TO THE MAYOR'S DESK WITH GROUP OF THE CITY COMMISSION JUST FOR REFERENCE TO MAKE

[02:30:01]

OF COURSE, WE OUR OWN GOVERN BODY.

SO WITH THAT SAID, DO I HAVE A MOTION FOR PLACE ONE? WE START THE PROCESS.

I ALSO WILL LEAVE THAT WITH THE EDC WAS OVER BUDGET, UH, BY A MILLION DOLLARS.

SO LAST YEAR.

SO I'LL LEAVE WITH THAT.

YOU GUYS CAN DO WITH IT WHAT YOU'D LIKE.

PLACE ONE MR. CLO.

CAN YOU REPEAT THE REQUIREMENTS AGAIN? I THEY HAVE TO LIVE WITHIN THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO.

CITY OF LIMITS.

RIGHT, BUT YOU HAD THE UH, WHAT, WHAT, WHAT DID YOU READ OFF RIGHT NOW? THE, UH, STATE LAW.

THE STATE LAW ABOUT BEING OVER A POPULATION OF 20,000, WE CANNOT PICK ANYBODY WITHIN THE COUNTY.

SO YOU HAVE TO BE WITHIN SOMEONE WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS.

ETJ WILL NOT APPLY FOR US OR COUNSEL.

UM, I'LL, I'LL READ OFF AGAIN.

I I'M SORRY FOR THE BRIEF.

I JUST STARTED TO SCROLL BACK UP.

SO THE APPOINTMENT CHAIR REMOVAL, THE BOARD HAS, UH, SEVEN DIRECTORS EACH APPOINTED BY THE GOVERNING BODY AUTHORIZING MS. SO FOR A TWO YEAR TERM REMOVAL BY THE GOVERNING BODY, PURSUANT TO THAT SECTION COMPOSITION AND RESIDENCY, AT LEAST THREE OF THE SEVEN DIRECTORS MUST NOT BE CITY EMPLOYEES.

OFF OFFICERS OR COMMISSION MEMBERS.

OFFICERS WOULD INCLUDE, UH, SOMEBODY LIKE MYSELF, MR. UM, , MR. RUTH.

UM, NOW THE COMPOSITION OF THE RESIDENCY, AT LEAST THROUGH THE SEVEN DIRECTORS MUST NOT BE AGAIN WHAT I JUST STATED.

SO NO MORE THAN FOUR MAY BE THE CITY OFFICIALS AND 'CAUSE SAN MEDIA'S POPULATION IS 20,000 OR MORE, EVERY DIRECTOR MUST RECITE INSIDE THE CITY.

I THINK TO SUM THINGS UP TO IS THAT WE CAN APPOINT UP TO FOUR CITY COMMISSIONERS AND SAW HOW WELL THAT WENT LAST FISCAL YEAR.

SO I, AND I HAVE GIVEN THIS, THIS RECOMMENDATION BEFORE IN SOME OF MY OTHER MUNICIPAL CLIENTS.

UM, WE HAVE RECOMMENDED, I WON'T DISCLOSE WHY, UM, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN RECOMMENDATIONS AND I HAVE PERSONALLY RECOMMENDED, NOT PERSONALLY, RIGHT, BUT IN MY LEGAL CAPACITY, RECOMMENDED THAT THOSE BOARDS, UM, BE SEPARATE.

WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS THAT NO CITY OFFICIALS, UH, SIT ON THAT, UM, BOARD SO THAT THE LIABILITY CANNOT BE BROUGHT BACK TO THE CITY.

SO, FOR EXAMPLE, THEY COULD BE SUED IN THEIR EC CAPACITY, THEIR PERSONAL CAPACITY, AND THEN OF COURSE, BECAUSE THEIR, UH, CITY COMMISSIONER OR COUNCIL MEMBER COULD ALSO TRAIL BACK TO THE CITY.

UH, THANK YOU FLORE.

DO I HAVE A MOTION? PLACE ONE MR. PEREZ, I, UH, AT ALL TERMS RESPOND.

MR. YEAH, I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND APPOINT VICENTE, UM, .

SO THERE'S, UM, ERIC, THE YES SIR.

REQUIREMENT FROM THE BYLAWS FROM THE EDC ABOUT BEING A CEO PROFESSIONAL CAPACITY.

THERE ARE SOME REQUIREMENTS THERE.

UM, THERE IS A REQUIREMENT IN HERE.

GIMME ONE SECOND.

THAT THEY HAD TO, IT'S ALWAYS BEEN A HOT TOPIC, RIGHT? UM, CEO OR MANAGING MEMBER OF A COMPANY, CORRECT.

THEY HAD TO HAVE, UM, BEEN IN SOME SORT OF MANAGERIAL, UH, CAPACITY BEFOREHAND.

GIMME A SECOND HERE SO I CAN JUST LOOK, GIVE Y'ALL MY CONTINUED DISCUSSION.

UM, SO A, ACCORDING TO THE, AGAIN, THE ORDINANCE, THE QUALIFICATION SET OUT IN, UH, SUBSECTION 1.1, 4.032, EVERY DIRECTOR MUST RESIDE IN THE CITY AND MUST HAVE SERVED AS A CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER IN EXECUTIVE MA MANAGEMENT IN A PROFESSIONAL CAPACITY OR IN AN EQUIVALENT ROLE.

AS THE COMMISSION DETERMINES THESE MATCH THE BOTTLES.

THOSE ARE NOT .

WE SENT RE HE IS, UH, OWNER OF ICE MONKEY.

ALRIGHT, DO I HAVE A SECOND? WE SENT RE, UH, A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BE FOR PLACE ONE REYES A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CORTES.

COMMISSIONER I NOMINATING, UH, APPOINTING ESTEBAN RODRIGUEZ.

I'LL OPPOSE A NAY.

MOVE ON TO PLACE TWO.

ESTEBAN RODRIGUEZ, CEO OF RODRIGUEZ, ENTERPRISE RODRIGUEZ ENTERPRISES VOTE.

WE MOVE ON TO PLACE THREE.

ALL OPPOSED? A NAY.

ANY OPPOSED NAY.

MOTION CARRIES A MS. LEE, UH, PLACE FOR, UH, REPOINT, UH, HECTOR, JR.

PLEASE SERVED ON A BOARD ALREADY TWO YEARS.

UH, MAYOR NAVARRO IS APPOINTED HECTOR EZ, CEO OF YOUR SERVE DIRECTLY FOR, UH, UH, LOCAL DEALERSHIP, MANAGERIAL ROLE AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? I SECOND.

SECOND BY COMMISSIONER FED.

A AYE.

PLACE FIVE.

MY APPOINTMENT DENIED DUE TO FAMILY REASONS.

I'LL TABLE MY APPOINTMENT.

MOTION TO TABLE PAGE FIVE, SIX AND SEVEN.

A MOTION TO TABLE PLACE.

FIVE, SIX AND SEVEN.

THAT A SECOND.

SO ALL SIX AND SEVEN ARE APPOINTEES FOR THE MAYOR LEGAL.

SO, UH, I THOUGHT THOSE WERE AT LARGE.

SIX AND SEVEN WERE AT LARGE.

EVERYBODY IS ENTITLED TO ONE CORRECT APPOINTEE.

RIGHT? I THINK THE MAYOR HAS ASKED US TO LOOK, UM, AT THAT.

BUT IF THERE'S, IF YOU'RE ASKING ME IF HE'S ENTITLED TO THREE PER WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW, NO, EVERYBODY'S ENTITLED TO TO ONE.

THERE ARE SOME AT LARGE SEATS.

UM, HIS MOTION IS TO TABLE, UH, THOSE THREE, UM, I GUESS ANY FURTHER REVIEW OF OTHER STUFF.

UM, SO I HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION, JUDGE.

WELL I'M SURE THAT WE PROBABLY HAVE SOME THAT WANT TO NOMINATE FOR SIX AND SEVEN BECAUSE IF YOU ACTUALLY NEED THAT BOARD TO KEEP GOING, THERE'S THE ORDINANCE 25 25.

IT'S INFORMATION UNDERLINE, BUT LEGAL, I JUST AS LEGAL, LEGAL SAID THAT LEGAL DOESN'T MAKE ORDINANCES ADVICE.

SO I WOULD UM, I'VE NOT LOOKED AT THAT SPECIFIC ORDINANCE HERE.

IF I COULD MAYBE JUST BRIEFLY TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

SEVEN IS A QUORUM, THEY WOULD HAVE A QUORUM AND THEY WOULD STILL BE ABLE TO MEET AGAIN.

MR. CLO, DID YOU STATE EARLIER THAT THE, UH, CITY CHARTER OVERRIDE APPROACH OATH CITY CHARTER OVERRIDES THE ORDINANCE STATE, THE CHARTER STATES SOMETHING SIMILAR.

UH, THE COMMISSION WILL DEVELOP AN ORDINANCE OF HOW WE MAKE THE APPOINTMENTS WITH THE TABLE.

THEY CAN STILL MEET 'CAUSE THEY STILL HAVE A QUORUM, HAVE FOUR APPOINTMENTS AT THIS TIME.

AND THEY HAVE, SO I GUESS FOR THOSE THAT HAVE NOT READ THIS ORDINANCE, THE ORDINANCE READS AN ORDINANCE PART.

THE MAYOR SHALL BE ENTITLED TO NOMINATE A PERSON TO SERVE ON ANY POSITION ON ANY CITY BOARD FOR PLACE FIVE AND HIGHER.

SO NUMERICALLY FIVE, SIX, AND SEVEN.

UM, AGAIN, YOU KNOW THE RE HERE'S YEAH, FIVE, SIX, AND SEVEN.

HE'S ABLE TO NOMINATE, OF COURSE THERE'S STILL HAVE TO BE APPROVED, UM, BY THE COMMISSION BY MAJORITY.

UM, BOTH.

SO YOU THEN CORRECTED, CORRECT? YEAH.

AFTER READING THIS, YEAH, I'M READING WHAT THE, WHAT THE ORDINANCE SAYS.

I HAD NOT, UH, SEEN THIS ONE.

I HAD WRITTEN, UH, THE OPINION AS REGARD TO THOSE TDEC, WHICH IS WHY I RECOMMEND WE REVIEW ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS AND WE CLEAN UP THE BOARD APPOINTMENT PROCESS, UH, MOTION TO TABLE PLACES FIVE, SIX, AND SEVEN WITH A NO HOLDOVER PROVISION TO APPLY AND TO CONTINUE WITH THE EXPIRATION OF THOSE TERMS UNTIL WE MADE THE DECISION ON PLACES FIVE, SIX, AND SEVEN.

IF THEIR TABLE, THEY CAN STILL MEET MAYOR, THEY HAVE FOUR APPOINTMENTS AT THIS TIME, FOUR TO

[02:40:01]

AND I WANT TO COME BACK TO COMMISSIONER, BUT IT THIS QUESTION, RIGHT? SO WHAT YOUR ORIGINAL QUESTION IS, AGAIN, YOU, YOU CAN PURSUANT TO THIS ONE, RIGHT, TO THIS ORDINANCE HERE.

UM, AND THE CITY CHARTER, AND SOMEBODY CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, IT WOULD BE MOOT WHEN IT COMES TO THIS, RIGHT? SO YOU HAVE THE CHARTER, WHICH WOULD BE THE MOST BIN, UM, THEN YOU WOULD HAVE AN ORDINANCE WHICH WOULD ALLOW YOU TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE SPECIFIC, WHICH HAS HAPPENED.

UM, HERE IT DOESN'T CONFLICT WITH 21.

UM, I BELIEVE IT'S 2157 AND 2171.

THOSE TWO, UM, ARE CONFLICTING IN ITSELF, WILL CLEAN THAT UP.

DOESN'T CONFLICT WITH THIS ONE HERE.

SO THE MAYOR IS ONLY ENTITLED TO NOMINATE THEM, RIGHT? THAT DOESN'T GIVE THEM THE SEAT.

UH, HE CAN JUST BRING FORWARD THOSE NAMES.

SO LET'S JUST SAY FOR EXAMPLE, HE WANTS TO NOMINATE RIGHT NOW FOR, UH, X FIVE JOE JOHN DOE.

RIGHT? HE NOMINATES THEM.

IT WOULD STILL HAVE TO BE PASSED BY MAJORITY VOTE.

NOW I WANT TO ASK THIS TO MAYOR.

MAYOR, UM, WHERE DID YOU GET THAT FROM? UH, I JUST LOOKED AT THE ORDINANCES ON MUNICIPAL.

OKAY, SO IS THAT, UH, GOOGLE NEGATIVE? I'M NOT TRYING TO GET THAT.

I'M TRYING TO GET A CORRECT ANSWER.

GOOGLE, I AM TRYING TO, AREN'T THEY THE, ISN'T THE CITY SECRETARY HAVE THEM? SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY COULD HAVE PROBABLY PASSED TO EVERYBODY SO EVERYBODY WOULD BE ON THE SAME PAGE IN THE CITY PACKET.

BUT I'M, I'M SAYING BUT SO IT'S IN YOUR PACKET NOW.

IT'S, I MEAN IT'S IN THE PACKET, BUT I'M SAYING BEEN IN THE BEGINNING SO EVERYBODY COULD BEEN ON THE SAME PAGE ALL THE TIME.

COMMISSIONER, IT WAS INCLUDED IN THE CITY COMMISSION PACKET THAT WAS ALSO PUBLISHED.

YES SIR.

THIS ONE? YES, I KNOW.

I'M SAYING IF WE COULD HAVE GOT EVERYTHING IN THE BEGINNING WHEN WE FIRST CAME IN, SO WE ALL WOULD HAVE IT, ESPECIALLY US NEW ONES.

IT WAS PROVIDING AN OKAY TO EVERYTHING.

SO A FEW WEEKS AGO I ASKED THE CITY SECRETARY'S OFFICE TO GATHER FROM ALL THE DEPARTMENT HEADS, THE BOARD APPOINTMENTS AND THE TERMS SETS ARE EXPIRED.

SHE SENT OUT A COMPLETE LIST TO EVERYBODY VIA EMAIL.

AND YOU HAVE A PACKET WITH THIS SAME INFORMATION.

SO ACTUALLY YOU MIGHT HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR PLACE FIVE.

DO WE HAVE A LIKE TO UNT IT IF POSSIBLE? IT WAS YOUR MOTION.

AMIR.

YOU CAN UN TABLE IT THERE.

THERE WAS NO SECOND.

UM, DO WE HAVE, UH, PHASE FIVE? NUNEZ, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SIT ON THE EDCI? I'LL SIT MAYOR.

IF, WHEN THE VOTE IS CALLED, RIGHT, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

RIGHT.

SILENCE IS CONSENT IN THIS REGARD.

THE NEXT QUESTION IS ALL OPPOSED, RIGHT? ALL ALL OPPOSED, RIGHT? SAME SIGN.

RIGHT? UM, SO THEREFORE IN THIS CASE, AGAIN, I, I, YOU KNOW, I'LL, I DO THINK WE NEED TO EMPHASIZE A BIT MORE ON THE, ON THE ROBERTS RULES WHEN IT COMES TO THAT.

BUT UNDER THE RULES SILENCES CONSENT, WE CAN START AGAIN IF YOU'D LIKE.
