[6. Discussion and possible action on an utility agreement for water, sewer and utility line extension with Holigan Development, LLC and MHCDV1 Angleton, LLC for the Reserve Development.]

NUMBER 6, DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION ON A UTILITY AGREEMENT FOR WATER,

[00:05:01]

SEWER AND UTILITY LINE EXTENSION FOR [INAUDIBLE] DEVELOPMENT, LLC IN MHCDV1 ANGLETON, LLC FOR THE RESERVED DEVELOPMENT. GO AHEAD, MR. WALKER.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.

THIS IS A UTILITY AGREEMENT FOR THE RESERVE PROJECT.

CITY ENGINEER'S HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS.

CITY ATTORNEY IS HERE, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE STRUCTURE OF THE AGREEMENT.

JUST A FEW ITEMS I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT FOR YOU ALL.

THE TIMEFRAME FOR THE CONSTRUCTION IN THE AGREEMENT IS 365 DAYS.

THAT'S BECAUSE CONSTRUCTION OF LINE INVOLVES HAVING TO WORK WITH THE RAILROAD.

JUST IN CASE THERE ARE PROPERTY OWNERS ALONG THE WAY THAT ARE RETICENT ABOUT GRANTING THE CITY EASEMENTS AND IF THE CITY HAS TO GO TO EMINENT DOMAIN, THAT 365 DAYS MIGHT BE NECESSARY TO MAKE ALL THAT HAPPEN.

ALTHOUGH I BELIEVE THE CITY ENGINEER HAS SAID THAT HE EXPECTS CONSTRUCTION TO TAKE ABOUT 270 DAYS, CORRECT?

>> [BACKGROUND]

>> YOU ALSO NOTE IN THE AGREEMENT THAT THE $3-MILLION IMPACT FEE IS BROKEN UP INTO TWO PAYMENTS.

THEN THE LAST ITEM I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT IS THAT THERE ARE PROVISIONS IN THERE TO PROTECT THE CITY IN CASE THERE'S STORM DRAIN INFILTRATION INTO THE SYSTEM.

WITH THAT, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.

>> THANK YOU, SIR. GENTLEMEN, WHAT WE'LL DO IS WE'LL GO AHEAD AND ALLOW THE INDIVIDUALS TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS TOPIC AND THEN WE'LL GO AND DO OUR DISCUSSIONS AT THE TABLE.

I'LL JUST TAKE THESE IN THE ORDER THAT THEY CAME IN.

THE FIRST ONE WE'LL DO IS JUDGE JOAKIM.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCILMEN FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.

I'VE NEVER BEEN ON A POSITION OF TALKING AGAINST A PROJECT BEFORE, AT LEAST NOT FROM THIS SIDE OF THE MATCH.

BUT I AM HERE TO SPEAK AGAINST IT.

I GOT A CALL THIS AFTERNOON AND WAS TOLD ABOUT THE PROJECT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE ARE PLANS TO PUT 825 MOBILE HOMES ON 150-ACRE TRACK.

IF THOSE NUMBERS ARE CORRECT, AND YOU'VE GOT UTILITY AND ROAD TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO THOSE HOMES, IT'S GOING TO BE SO CONGESTED, THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE JAMMED AGAINST EACH OTHER.

I LIVE REAL CLOSE OR MY NEIGHBORS WHO'S HERE TONIGHT THAT LIVE A LITTLE CLOSER, BUT IT'S GOING TO IMPACT US.

YOU'RE REPRESENTING THE PEOPLE OF ANGLETON, I UNDERSTAND THAT.

BUT I HOPE THAT YOU WILL ALSO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE FROM THE ANGLETON AREA.

I'VE BEEN HERE A LONG TIME.

I DO NOT THINK THIS IS A GOOD PROJECT.

THE ROADS, IF YOU'VE DRIVEN DOWN OLD ANGLETON ROAD LATELY, IT'S IN BAD SHAPE.

LET'S SAY THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE AN AVERAGE OF TWO VEHICLES PER MOBILE HOME, 1700 BULL CARS ON THE ROAD THERE.

TELL ME HOW THE ROAD IS GOING TO HANDLE THAT KIND OF TRAFFIC.

IT DOESN'T DO A GOOD JOB AS IT IS.

THE ACCESS WILL BE ON 220, I GUESS, INSTEAD OF OLD ANGLETON ROAD, BUT THAT'S NOT TO SAY IF IT'S ROAD ON THE COUNTY EITHER AND ITS WHEEL TRAIL.

BUT WHEN THEY'RE COMING TO TOWN TO BUY GROCERIES, THEY'RE GOING TO BE ON OVER ANGLETON ROAD OR OLD CLUTE ROAD DEPENDING ON WHICH END YOU LIVE ON.

I CALL IT COUNTY ROAD 288.

I DO NOT THINK THIS IS A GOOD PROJECT FOR BRAZORIA COUNTY.

I DO NOT THINK IT'S A GOOD PROJECT FOR THE CITIZENS IN THE ANGLETON AREA, AND I HOPE THAT YOU WILL VERY SERIOUSLY CONSIDER WHAT YOUR DECISION IS GOING TO DO IN IMPACTING THE PEOPLE OF OUR COMMUNITY.

I GUESS I'LL LEAVE IT THERE. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU.

[00:10:03]

NEXT PERSON WHO'S WISHING TO SPEAK IS TEMA LAGENTRY.

>> HELLO. MY NAME IS TAMELA GENTRINE.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU ALL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ON THE BEHALF OF ANGLETON.

I'M GOING TO READ IT BECAUSE I HAD ORGANIZED MY THOUGHTS AND SO I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT, BUT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SENSE.

ALL OF YOU ARE ME.

WE'LL LEAVE BEHIND ALL WE WILL EVER LEAVE BEHIND WHEN WE'RE GONE, IS THE INFLUENCE THAT WE'VE MADE ON OTHERS AND OUR POSSESSIONS TO OUR KIDS.

YES, ALL OF YOUR CHOICES IN THIS DEVELOPMENT DOES JEOPARDIZE MY FAMILIES DURING PROPERTY IN OUR HOME.

BUT YOUR VOTES AND DECISIONS MADE ABOUT USHERING IN AN ALTERNATIVE TO A SOLID, STABLE NEIGHBORHOOD.

IS THAT THE INFLUENCE THAT YOU WANT TO LEAVE BEHIND FOR YOUR COMMUNITY? [NOISE] AS YOUR CHILDREN AND YOUR GRANDCHILDREN DRIVE PAST SOME OF THE MOST ONCE BEAUTIFUL PLACES, LAND IN TEXAS.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TELL THEM THAT YOU WERE RESPONSIBLE WITH THIS PARTICULAR STANDARD OF DEVELOPMENT.

IS THIS A LEGACY OF YOUR INFLUENCE? DID YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEAVE? IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT TO LEAVE BEHIND FOR YOUR COMMUNITY DURING YOUR YEARS OF COUNCIL MEMBERS OF HAMILTON? ARE YOU GOING TO BE PROUD OF THIS? HOW SAD.

DID YOU KNOW THE OWNERS OF THIS AMAZING PROPERTY THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE A TRAILER PARK OUT OF HAD HIGH STANDARDS FOR THIS PROPERTY? WHEN MY HUSBAND AND I, EDDY AND I BOUGHT THIS PROPERTY, WE WERE TOLD BY THE PERSON WHO SOLD US THE PROPERTY THAT THE FORMER OWNERS HAD TWO THINGS THAT THEY ASKED WHERE WERE NEVER ON ALL OF THAT PROPERTY.

TWO THINGS THAT THEY WOULD NEVER WANT TO SEE ON THEIR BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY.

THE FIRST THING WAS A PIG FARM, AND THE SECOND THING WAS TRAILER HOUSES." THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU MISS GENTRINE. MR. ERIN CATCHEN, YOU WANT TO SPEAK? I'M SORRY IF I DIDN'T SAY YOUR NAME RIGHT.

>> IT'S FINE. ERIN CATCHEN, [NOISE] HOLIGAN COMMUNITIES,14114 DALLAS PARKWAY IN DALLAS.

I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE UTILITY AGREEMENT.

WE DO HAVE FOR A COMMONER TOO.

I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR GETTING THIS AGREEMENT AND FINAL FORM.

BUT WE DID HAVE ONE OR TWO DEAL POINTS THAT WE DID WANT TO DISCUSS, BUT HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WHEN THAT TIME COMES.

>> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, SIR. THE LAST NOTE THAT I HAVE IS MR. DAVID LINDER, COMMISSIONER

>> THANK YOU. I JOTTED DOWN A FEW THINGS.

I WANT TO TRY TO KEEP TO THE SUBJECT, BUT ARBOR MAYOR AND COUNCIL, MY NAME IS DAVID LINDER.

I'M THE PRECINCT 4 COUNTY COMMISSIONER HERE IN BRAZORIA COUNTY.

PART OF PRESSING 4 ENCOMPASSES ANGLETON.

I'M VERY PROUD TO REPRESENT PARTS OF ANGLETON.

I HAVE MUCH RESPECT FOR YOU GENTLEMEN AND FOR WHAT YOU DO.

I [NOISE] ALSO REPRESENT A LOT OF THE AREAS AND THE E, T, J.

THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT.

I GOT SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT YOU FOLKS SUPPLYING UTILITIES TO THIS DEVELOPMENT.

MY CONCERNS ARE I REALIZED THAT THE COUNTY MY AUTHORITY [NOISE] WITH THE COUNTY, THE COUNTY ITSELF, WE CANNOT WE CANNOT STOP THIS DEVELOPMENT.

WE CANNOT STOP THIS DEVELOPMENT.

THESE FOLKS CHOOSE TO MOVE FORWARD.

BUT WITH THE CITY MAKING THIS VERY EASY FOR THEM TO DEVELOP THIS HIGH DENSITY AREA, IT GIVES US ABSOLUTELY NO OPTION.

IF Y'ALL PROVIDE THE UTILITIES, THEY'RE COMMON.

I'M NOT AGAINST MOBILE HOMES.

I'VE GOT FRIENDS THAT LIVE IN MOBILE HOMES.

BUT I AM AGAINST ANY HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENT THAT IS IN THE COUNTY.

AS YOU ALL KNOW, THE COUNTY HAS NO AUTHORITY FOR ORDINANCES.

WE CAN'T CONTROL LOUD MUSIC, WE CAN'T CONTROL FIREWORKS, WE CAN'T CONTROL COMING OUT IN THE YARD AND SHOOT YOUR GUN.

IN A HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENT, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN THE NORTH END OF THE COUNTY.

THE BIGGEST MAJORITY OF MY COMPLAINTS.

THIS IS NOT NEAR THIS DANCE,

[00:15:01]

BUT THE BIGGEST MAJORITY OF OUR COMPLAINTS AND OUR REQUEST FOR SERVICE FROM OUR SHERIFF'S OFFICE IN THE COUNTY IS THE LOUD MUSIC, THE PROBLEMS THAT PEOPLE LIVE IN SO DENSE TOGETHER, THE RESPONSE TIME FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT.

IT MAYBE 20 MINUTES TO GET A DEPUTY WHEN THE NEIGHBORS CAN'T GET ALONG WHOSE CLIPPINGS ARE BLOWING ON, WHOSE YARD OR WHO'S PLAYING WHATEVER MUSIC.

I THINK IT'S IRRESPONSIBLE FOR THIS COUNCIL, I THINK IT'S IRRESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DEVELOPER.

YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE ACTIONS COMMISSIONERS COURT HAS TAKEN RECENTLY REGARDING HIGH DENSITY SUB DIVISIONS.

I PERSONALLY LOVE [NOISE] ANGLETON.

I WAS [NOISE] A POLICE OFFICER HERE IN ANGLETON, I HAVE MUCH RESPECT FOR ANGLETON.

MY WIFE TEACHES HERE IN ANGLETON, I GO TO CHURCH HERE IN ANGLETON.

I LOVE, AND AGAIN I LOVE IT.

BUT I CAME FOR I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

I FEEL LIKE SOMETIMES YOU FOLKS ARE GIVING AWAY THE FARM.

YOU HAVE A GREAT COMMUNITY, ONE OF THE ONLY COMMUNITY THAT IS BRAZORIA COUNTY IS PROTECTED BY THE LEVY.

YOU'RE NOT AFFECTED BY FLOODING LIKE MOST OF THE REST OF THE COUNTY IS.

YOU'RE SELLING YOURSELF OUT IN MY OPINION TO A LESSER DEVELOPMENTS.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET MORE HERITAGE JOKES.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET NICE SUBDIVISIONS IF YOU KEEP APPROVING LITTLE BITTY LOTS.

THAT FORGOES OUT IN THE COUNTY TOO.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET, WE'RE NOT GOING TO DEVELOP AREAS.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE AREAS LIKE WE WANT TO DEVELOP IF WE APPROVE THINGS LIKE THIS, IF WE CONDONE THIS.

AGAIN, WE MAY NOT CAN STOP IT.

BUT FROM US LOOKING INTO IT, THE COUNTY LOOKING INTO IT OR ME LOOKING INTO IT, IF THEY MOVE FORWARD AND HAVE TO PUT THEIR OWN ON-SITE STORAGE FOR SEWAGE AND TREATMENT AND WHATEVER YOU DO WITH SEWAGE AND AS PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM.

THE NUMBERS JUST AIN'T GOING TO WORK.

THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH LAND THERE TO PUT THAT HIGH DENSITY OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

AGAIN, I'M NOT AGAINST THE MOBILE HOMES.

I'M NOT AGAINST DEVELOPMENT IN THE COUNTY.

BUT I AM AGAINST HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENT.

I'D LIKE TO SEE A MOBILE HOME ON THREE QUARTERS OF AN ACRE, HALF AN ACRE, BUT NOT A FEW FEET APART.

THAT IS RIDICULOUS IN MY PERSONAL OPINION.

I THINK IT'S A SHAME THAT DEVELOPERS THAT KNOW, OUR GROWTH THAT COME TO OUR AREA AND THEN THEY DROP BACK TO DALLAS.

MAYBE IT WAS DALLAS. IF YOU APPROVE THAT, AND I SPOKE TO ONE OF YOUR COUNCIL MEMBERS, IF THE CITY OF ANGLETON APPROVE THAT, YOU NEED TO ANNEX THAT PROPERTY.

YOU NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FIGHTS THERE.

YOU NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE POLICE ACTION THAT'S TAKEN THERE.

YOU NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COURTS THAT HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED SITUATIONS THERE.

DON'T PUT IT ON THE COUNTY.

DON'T PUT IT ON THESE RESIDENTS TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS.

IT'S NOT FAIR.

I KNOW FOR A FACT, ONE COUNCIL MEMBER SAID, "OH, NO, WE'RE NOT GOING TO ANNEX OUT.

WE DON'T WANT THAT IN OUR CITY." WELL, IF IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOUR BACKYARD, IT DAMN SURE AIN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEIR BACKYARD OR MY BACKYARD.

AGAIN, I HAVE TONS OF RESPECT TO YOU GUYS.

I KNOW YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE TOUGH DECISIONS.

I MAKE THEM ALL THE TIME. AGAIN, IF YOU'VE FOLKS DON'T APPROVE THIS, WHICH I HOPE YOU DON'T.

THE BALL'S GOING TO BE IN THE COUNTIES COURT.

AGAIN, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PROVE IT.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO STOP IT. I'M AWARE OF THAT.

BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO BE 800 HOMES.

IS GOING TO BE WAY LESS.

AT SOME POINT, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE AND THEY'RE GOING TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. THAT'S GOOD WITH ME.

I DON'T CARE. THEY CAN GO TO HARRIS COUNTY, THEY CAN GO TO LIBERTY COUNTY, THEY CAN GO TO ANY OTHER COUNTY IF THEY WANT TO DEVELOP LIKE THAT.

AGAIN, IT'S YOUR CITY, YOU REPRESENT THESE FOLKS.

BUT IF YOU APPROVE IT, YOU NEED TO ANNEX IT.

I THINK YOU'LL GET THAT IF YOU TALK TO COMMISSIONERS, ANYBODY ON COMMISSIONERS COURT, I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO GET THE SAME RESPONSE.

YOU NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT DEVELOPMENT.

THAT'S MY THOUGHTS. I'M GOING TO SAY IT AGAIN.

ANGLETON IS THE HEARTBEAT.

YOU'VE GOT IT IN YOUR IN YOUR HAND.

DEVELOPMENTS COMING. BE PATIENT.

WE'VE GOT A LOT OF GOOD LOCAL DEVELOPERS, LOTS OF THEM.

ONE, I'M SITTING IN THIS ROOM TONIGHT AS A MATTER OF FACT.

THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER GOOD DEVELOPERS.

[NOISE] BUT LET'S SET OUR STANDARDS UP HERE.

LET'S DON'T SETTLE FOR EVERYTHING.

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IF YOU GIVE WATER AND SEWER IT HERE, ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE THE CAPACITY TO SUPPLY ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT THAT'S COMING IN? THAT IS SOMETHING YOU MAYBE WANTING? ANYWAY, I GOT MUCH RESPECT FOR YOU GENTLEMEN TONIGHT AND I'LL DO ALWAYS.

MOST OF YOU, YOU'RE ALL MY FRIENDS.

I JUST APPRECIATE YOU GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY.

[00:20:02]

I HOPE YOU LISTEN.

PLEASE DO. BECAUSE I TRULY BELIEVE WHAT I'M SAYING AND I WOULDN'T BE HERE IF I DIDN'T. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER.

>> THANK YOU COMMISSIONER.

THAT'S ALL THE ONES THAT WE HAVE THAT WISH TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 6T.

COUNCIL SUBTENDS NOW FOR A DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION.

>> [NOISE] MR. MAYOR, MAY I HAVE A FEW MINUTES.

>> GO AHEAD, SIR.

>> I'VE PUT TOGETHER A BIT OF INFORMATION GATHERED FROM QUITE A BIT OF DATA THAT OUR CITY ENGINEERS PROVIDED FOR US AND A LOT OF WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON AROUND HERE PAST YEAR.

ANGLETON CURRENTLY HAS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF WATER SUPPLY, WHICH WE'RE ABOUT TO INCREASE BY 1000 GPM WITH THE FREEDOM PART WELL.

ENGINEERS WORKING ON ADD NOW AND GETTING IT READY, COME ON LAND.

WITH THE ADDITION OF THAT WELL, THE CITY OF ANGLETON WILL HAVE 3,200 WATER SERVICE CONNECTIONS AVAILABLE.

THERE'S CURRENTLY NINE HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS HERE IN PLANNING OR APPROVAL OR CURRENTLY ON CONSTRUCTION ARE FINISHED.

YOU'VE GOT THE GREEN TRAILS IS FINISHED OR BUILDING HOMES OVER THERE.

WE'VE GOT SOME OTHERS THAT ARE, IF THEY'RE NOT TOTALLY FINISHED THEN THEY ARE JUST ABOUT TO BE FINISHED.

[NOISE] THERE'S ALSO AN APARTMENT COMPLEX ON CONSTRUCTION AND HENDERSON ROAD, NORTH AND EAST TO IT, RANCHO EAST OF SAINT JOHN'S DIRT LUTHERAN CHURCH OVER THERE.

WELL, THERE'S NINE DEVELOPMENT AND THERE'S APARTMENT COMPLEX AND ACCOUNT FOR APPROXIMATELY 805 COMMIT.

WHEN ROSE GRAIN DEVELOPMENT IN THE TGA DISTINQUISHED HIGH SCHOOL WE AGREED WITH THEM TO PROVIDE THEIR WATER RECEIVED OR SOONER OR THIS IS AN ANOTHER 660 CONNECTION.

BRINGING THE TOTAL TO 1, 465 CONNECTIONS THAT WE HAVE COMPLETED.

WHEN ROSE GRAIN IS NOT IN A TGA, THEY HAVE ALL MADE A PART OF THEIR MONEY TO IMPROVE, ADDRESS ISSUES THAT WE HAVE A LUNCHEON DATES WHICH WILL HELP US ISSUES AND THE HERITAGE PARK [INAUDIBLE].

WE'VE GOT SOME OTHER SUBDIVISIONS ON SERIOUSLY LOOKING AT AN ANGLE FROM AUSTIN COLONY, APPROXIMATELY 582 CONNECTIONS, WHISPERING IONS, OLDER AND HERITAGE ZERO PERIOD.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S DEVELOPED.

I'M NOT SURE HOW MANY, I JUST PICKED A RANDOM NUMBER.

ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT, ANOTHER APARTMENT COMPLEX, POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT ON HENDERSON ROAD, JUST WESTERN BUCK TALKING TO US ABOUT ABOUT THAT APARTMENT COMPLEX.

SO WE GO UP AND LOST MOST SELF HERE BUT THE TOTAL IN THOSE NUMBERS, ABOUT 2,150 CONNECTIONS, IF ALL THOSE COME TO FRUITION.

[NOISE] IF THE CITY FURNITURE IS 837 CONNECTIONS TO THE RESERVE, THE BALANCE DECREASES TO 211 CONNECTIONS AVAILABLE.

I BELIEVE THIS PUTS A CITY IN SOMEWHAT OF A PRECARIOUS POSITION WITH SUPPLIERS CAPABILITIES.

I'D HAVE TO ASK OUR ENGINEER TO DEFER TO THEM ON TCE KEY REQUIREMENTS, HOW MUCH YOU HAVE TO HAVE IN RESERVE OR HOW CLOSE TO ZERO YOU CAN GET.

BUT I DON'T WANT TO GET THAT CLOSE.

I KNOW WE NEED TO MAKE ENHANCEMENTS TO OUR WATER SYSTEM.

[00:25:03]

WE NEED ADDITIONAL BOOSTER PUMPS, WE NEED ADDITIONAL GROUND STORAGE, WE NEED REPLACED GROUND STORAGE [INAUDIBLE] THAT'S AN ANGLE PLAN.

BESIDES THE FREEDOM PARK, WELL, WE'RE LOOKING AT ANOTHER ONE ,HOPEFULLY.

HOPEFULLY IT COMES IN AT ABOUT 1000 GPM.

WE'RE LOOKING AT MAYBE EVEN ANOTHER WATER TOWER, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT [NOISE] LOOKING AT ANOTHER WATER TOWER SOMEWHERE ON THE NORTH CENTER.

ALL THESE ARE GOING TO BE FUNDED THROUGH THE POCKETS OF PEOPLE IN THIS TIME.

RATHER WARS FOR UNDERSTANDING THAT THE $3 MILLION TO POTENTIALLY BE RECEIVED FROM THIS DEVELOPMENT CAN ONLY BE USED IN THAT FACTOR.

THERE MIGHT BE BITS AND PIECES THAT CAN BE DISTRIBUTED SOMEWHERE ELSE WITHIN THE CITY BUT, MARKED FOR, THAT IMPACT AREA DOWN THERE.

[OVERLAPPING] THAT'S TAKING YOU THAT AND MOVE IT TO DO ANYTHING ELSE ANYWHERE IN THE CALE.

I'LL SAY THAT AFTER HAVING A REALLY HARD LONG THOUGHT ABOUT THIS, I'VE VACILLATED BACK AND FORTH.

BUT I'VE COME DOWN TO THE POINT WHERE I DON'T THINK WE CAN AFFORD TO FURNISH THE WATER TO THIS DEVELOPMENT, THAT'S IRREGARDLESS OF WHAT'S GOING IN OUT THERE.

I'M NOT ANTI ANYTHING.

WELL, I AM ANTI SOMETHING BUT I'M NOT ANTI [LAUGHTER].

PEOPLE NEED A PLACE TO LIVE.

IF THEY ELECT TO. I'VE GOT A CLOSE FRIEND AND I WENT THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL WITH HE AND HIS TWO SIBLINGS, MOTHER, AND DAD LIVED IN A LITTLE FURTHER OUT THERE THREE BRIDGES.

[LAUGHTER].

GREAT FOLKS. IT'S WHAT SOME PEOPLE LIKE TO DO.

GO OUT THERE WITH SOMETHING ELSE THAT WOULDN'T REQUIRE THAT MUCH, BUT IT'S NOT IN A CITY AND I'M CONCERNED THAT WE'RE CUTTING OURSELVES SHORT ON SUPPLY AT THIS TIME.

>> THANK YOU COUNSEL. I APOLOGIZE FOR TURNING THE MICROPHONE OFF AND COUGHING ON MICROPHONE.

SO I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. THANK YOU SIR FOR THAT.

>> I'LL JUST SPEAK QUICKLY ABOUT MY POSITION IN THIS ISSUE. I DID SOME THINKING.

I TOLD YOU GUYS, YOU ALL KNOW ARE HERE LAST TIME WE VISITED, THAT I'VE VACILLATED HEAVILY DURING THE COURSE OF OUR CONVERSATION.

I DID NOT HONESTLY KNOW WHICH WAY I WOULD VOTE.

I WAS NOT COMFORTABLE WITH MAKING A VOTE THAT NIGHT, I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU.

YOU WANTED US TO PRESS FORWARD WITH A VOTE.

IF YOU'D ASK ME TO VOTE THAT NIGHT, I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU NO.

I'M JUST GOING TO BE HONEST WITH YOU BECAUSE I WASN'T READY TO MAKE THAT DECISION.

SINCE THAT TIME, [INAUDIBLE] HAVE DONE SOME CONTEMPLATION OVER THIS.

YOU HAVE BEEN PRESENT FOR SOME OF OUR MEETINGS.

I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE BEEN HERE ACTIVELY PARTICIPATING.

I APPRECIATE YOUR PRESENCE.

I KNOW, YOU'RE TAKING TIME OUT OF YOUR BUSINESS DAYS TO BE HERE.

BUT IF YOU'VE HEARD ME SPEAK THROUGH CITY COUNCIL, I HAVE HAD GRAVE CONCERNS.

SOME GREAT MIGHT BE TOO STRONG A WORD, BUT I'VE HAD STRONGLY ABOUT THE DENSITY IN OUR CITY.

IT'S BEEN MY PROBABLY RAILING ISSUE, SOMETHING THAT I'M SURE EVERYBODY [NOISE] ON GRAVE COUNCIL HAS HEARD ME SPEAK REPEATEDLY ON THE ISSUE OF MY CONCERN, SOME OF THE ISSUES SHARED BY A COMMISSIONER LENDER.

I DO FEEL LIKE THE CITY OF ANGLETON IS IN A POSITION OF STRENGTH, I'VE ALWAYS FELT WE'VE BEEN IN A POSITION OF STRENGTH.

I FELT LIKE WE HAVE THE LEVY.

WE HAVE PROVEN IT THROUGH THE FACT THAT THE LAST COUPLE OF TIMES THAT WE FACED A SEVERE FLOODING ISSUE IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF BIZARRE COUNTY, ANGLETON STAY TALL.

WE HAVE BEEN THE CITY IN THE COUNTY THAT HAS BEEN OUT THERE HELPING OTHER MEMBERS OF OUR CITIES WITHIN OUR COUNTY.

WE'RE THE PEOPLE WHO THEY'VE TURNED TO FOR RESOURCES BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN HIGH AND DRY.

WE ARE SITTING IN A POSITION TO DEMAND HIGHER STANDARDS.

I UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE THE MAYOR'S POSITION THOUGH.

THE MAYOR'S POSITION IS TO PROVIDE HOMES TO ALL RESIDENTS.

THAT MEANS OF ALL PRICE POINTS AND WE HAVE ACCEPTED

[00:30:01]

RESIDENTS IN THE CITY OF ANGLETON THAT I PERSONALLY DON'T AGREE WITH THE SMALLER LOSS, THE 45 FOOT, THE 50-FOOT LOTS.

I DON'T KNOW, I HAVE MY CONCERNS.

WE CAN GO ALL INTO THAT, BUT THAT'S NOT WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY.

BUT THERE IS A POINT, THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY WITHIN THOSE SUBDIVISIONS THAT ARE COMING FOR THOSE NEWLY ENTERING, PEOPLE ENTERING INTO FIRST-TIME HOME BUYERS.

MAYBE THERE ARE DOWNSIDES HOME BUYERS.

BUT THIS DOES PRESENT A GRAVE CONCERN FOR ME AND I'M PAINTING MYSELF HERE.

I WANT TO BE LOGICALLY CONSISTENT AND THAT'S WHERE I CAME BACK TO MY THINKING ABOUT IT THIS WEEK.

I HAD THOUGHT ABOUT IT HEAVILY AND EVEN STARTING TO LEAN YOUR WAY BUT THEN I SAID I LOOKED AT MYSELF IN THE MIRROR AND I SAID, LOOK, I DON'T WANT TO BE A HYPOCRITE OR FRAUD.

I DON'T WANT TO DO SOMETHING FOR YOU THAT I WOULD NOT ACCEPT SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE CITY.

[NOISE] SO WITH THAT IN MIND, I DO HAVE CONCERNS.

I REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT THE TAXING OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS MORE THAN WE WANT AND WE'RE READY FOR.

SO MY VOTE AT THIS TIME WILL BE NO.

>> I'M STILL TRYING TO PRACTICE TAKING MY TURN AND NOT JUMPING THE MIC.

[LAUGHTER] I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT WHEN YOU FIRST APPROACHED ME, MR. [INAUDIBLE] WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT HOW WE WERE GOING TO DO THIS AND WHAT WAS GOING ON.

THE FIRST TIME I CAME TO US, I THINK ANYONE WHO'S ON THIS COUNCIL SAID THIS WASN'T THE PROJECT WE WERE INTERESTED IN.

BUT THEY KEPT MOVING FORWARD AND IT CAME BACK AND THEN YOU AND I SAT DOWN, WE TALKED ABOUT IT.

AT THE TIME, I THINK YOU WEREN'T EVEN AT 800 LOTS OF THE TIME.

IT JUST SEEMS TO BE ESCALATING THERE.

AT THE SAME TIME, WE HAD ALL THESE OTHER DEVELOPMENTS COMING IN.

COUNCILMAN BOOTH HAS MADE AN EXCELLENT POINT THAT THE CITY SERVICES ARE BEING TAXED AT THIS POINT.

THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT CAME TO US FROM OUR DISCUSSION WITH THE CITY ENGINEER AT OUR STRATEGICS MEETING WE HAD IN APRIL, MAY SOMEWHERE THERE.

THE ISSUE IS, WE'RE VERY LIMITED RIGHT NOW.

WITH THAT, IT CAUSES GREAT CONCERN THAT THE DENSITY THAT YOU'RE HAVING, ALONG WITH THE CAPACITY CONSTRAINTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE EXPERIENCING.

FOR US, IT'S A MATTER OF IF WE PROVIDE THAT SERVICE TO YOU, AS COUNCILMAN BOOTH STATED, LISTING OUT ALL THE DIFFERENT SUBDIVISIONS THAT ARE ALREADY APPROVED AND MOVING FORWARD, INCLUDING THOSE THAT ARE RIGHT THERE, THAT WOULD BE INSIDE OF OUR CITY LIMITS THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO BE MAINTAINING.

IT DOESN'T MAKE IT FEASIBLE FOR US.

FOR THAT, I THINK WE'VE BANTERED BACK AND FORTH ABOUT ANNEXATION.

YOU DIDN'T WANT ANNEXATION.

I AT THE TIME DIDN'T WANT ANNEXATION EITHER BECAUSE I FELT THAT FOR US IT WAS MORE LOGICAL FOR YOU TO STAY IN THE COUNTY FOR THE WATER AND SEWER RATE, SO THAT WE WOULD SEE THAT MONEY FALLING INTO OUR WATERFRONT AND NOT OUR PROPERTY TAX FUND, WHICH WOULD HELP OFFSET SOME OF THE COSTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE IN ALL THE INCREASES WITH THE WATER SERVICES.

BUT WE ARE DOWN THAT ROAD NOW.

IT'S BEEN A YEAR AND I GUESS A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NOW FROM THE VERY START.

FOR ME, IT SEEMS IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT I THINK WOULD BE FOR THE CITY TO GO INTO AT THIS TIME.

THAT'S MY POSITION ON IT.

>> COUNCILMEMBER GONGORA.

>> IF IT WAS THE LAST MEETING, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY IT WENT.

I WOULD HAVE VOTED NO JUST STRAIGHT OFF.

AFTER THINKING ABOUT IT, GOT FEELING, I JUST DON'T LIKE THE SITUATION, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, WE WOULD BE PROVIDING SERVICES TO PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT PAYING PROPERTY TAXES, WHENEVER WE ALREADY HAVE A LIMITED AMOUNT OF SERVICES TO GIVE.

THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT IT'S COME DOWN FOR ME.

EVERYBODY ELSE HAS SAID STUFF THAT I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH.

I KNOW IT'S JUST BEEN BACK AND FORTH WITH ATTORNEYS, CITY ENGINEERS.

A LOT OF WORK HAS GONE INTO THIS, BUT THAT'S WHERE I HAD TO PUT IT.

[00:35:03]

>> OKAY. THANK YOU, SIR.

ALL RIGHT. EVERYBODY KNOWS MY POSITION WHERE I'VE BEEN SITTING ON.

I APPRECIATE MY FELLOW COUNCILMEMBERS, THEIR INPUT, AND THEIR THOUGHT PROCESS.

WE ALL KNOW THAT SOMETIMES IT BECOMES A JOB THAT WE LIKE IT, BUT THEN THERE'S TIMES WHEN WE DON'T LIKE IT.

I SAT BACK AND ALSO REFLECTED AFTER THAT NIGHT TWO WEEKS AGO. OUR GUYS WERE TOURING.

YOU COULD TELL IT WAS A PIT IN THE STOMACH BECAUSE IT IS LIKE COMMISSIONER SAID, AND THE YOUNG LADY SAID, MISS GENTRY, THIS WILL BE A DECISION THAT WE MAKE THAT WILL STAND HERE FOR MANY YEARS TO COME ONCE WE'RE LONG GONE AND OUR GRANDCHILDREN ARE HERE, BUT IT IS A TOUGH DECISION LIKE MR. LINDER, SAID WE HAVE TO MAKE THOSE TOUGH ONES, WE GET PAID THE BIG BUCKS, SO MUCH LIKE COMMISSIONERS, [LAUGHTER] 100 BUCKS THAT WE GET AT THIS TABLE AND IT MAYBE THE NOODLE LASHING THAT WE GET AT WALMART OR AT LA CASONA.

I'M NOT ADVOCATING FOR THOSE [INAUDIBLE] IN MY HEAD.

I TREAT EVERYBODY EQUALLY.

IT DOES MAKE IT DIFFICULT AND I TOO HAVE MULLED OVER THIS FOR THE LAST FEW NIGHTS, TOSSED AND TURNED A LITTLE BIT, THOUGHTS POPPED UP IN MY HEAD.

I THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT COUNCILMAN BOOTH SAID AS WELL.

OUR CONNECTION POINTS, I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT, BUT THEN AS COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND SAID, PEOPLE KNOW THAT ONE OF MY POSITIONS WAS IS HOUSING FOR EVERYBODY.

WHETHER IT'S A LOW-INCOME, WHETHER IT'S SOMEBODY WHO'S DONE VERY WELL FOR THEMSELVES FINANCIALLY, BUT I THINK EVERYBODY SHOULD HAVE A NICE PLACE TO LIVE AND MAYBE CALL HOME, WHETHER IT'S A STARTER HOME, WHETHER IT'S A RENTAL HOME, JUST AN OPTION.

THAT'S WHAT I'VE ALWAYS SAID WAS OPTIONS FOR ALL PEOPLE WHO COME TO ANGLETON OR IN THE ETJ.

BUT I SIT AT THIS TABLE WITH NO POWER, ONLY IN THE EVENT OF A DISASTER WHERE I CAN MAKE DECISIONS AT THE DROP OF A HAT.

IT'S UP TO THESE GENTLEMEN WHO MAKE THE DECISION OF SETTING EMOTION AND PUTTING IN PLACE, EVEN VOTING.

I CANNOT DO THAT.

I CAN VOTE, BUT I CANNOT INITIATE A MOTION.

I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT EVERYBODY WENT INTO THE LAST TWO WEEKS OF JUMPING THROUGH HOOPS, STAFF, OUR ATTORNEY, YOUR PEOPLE, YOUR ATTORNEY, YOURSELVES.

I SAW THE E-MAILS GOING BACK AND FORTH AND I APPRECIATE THAT.

LIKE WE SAID, COME BACK WITH AN AGREEMENT AND WE WOULD VOTE ON IT, WHETHER IT'S A YES OR NO, SOMETHING WOULD HAVE TO HAPPEN.

BUT TONIGHT, A MOTION WILL HAVE TO EITHER HAPPEN OR A LACK OF MOTION WILL ALLOW US TO STOP RIGHT THERE AND WE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE.

AM I CORRECT? MS. JUDITH.

>> I DON'T THINK I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

>> WHAT ACTIONS DO WE NEED TO HAVE ON THIS? EITHER THERE'S NO ACTION, THERE IS EITHER A MOTION THAT'S VOTED ON OR IT'S EITHER ACCEPTED OR DENIED HOWEVER THE MOTION COMES OUT?

>> MOTION TO DENY.

>> I'LL MAKE A MOTION.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE DENY THE ACTION ON A UTILITY AGREEMENT FOR WATER, SEWER, AND UTILITY LINE EXTENSION FOR THE HOLIGAN DEVELOPMENT, FOR THE RESERVED DEVELOPMENT.

>> I'M SORRY. ARE YOU [INAUDIBLE] AN ACTION TO DENY THE APPROVAL?

>> CORRECT.

I'M SORRY.

>> DENY THE AGREEMENT.

>> YES.

>> I'LL SECOND THAT.

>> WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND AND SECOND BY COUNCILMAN BOOTH.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? I KNOW WE'VE ALL SAID SOME THINGS.

ANYBODY ELSE, PLEASE? THE FLOOR IS YOURS.

>> I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN THE COUNTY.

COMMISSIONER LINDER MADE A GOOD POINT THAT WHETHER WE APPROVE THIS OR DENY IT, YOU'RE STILL IN THE COUNTY.

IT'S SOMETHING YOU CAN STILL PURSUE IF YOU WANT.

JUST THE CITY WILL NOT BE PARTICIPATING. JASON.

>> ANYTHING ELSE?

>> COMMISSIONER LINDER.

>> IT'S MY MEETING.

>> YOU CAN RECOMMEND IT.

>> GO AHEAD, SIR.

>> ONE COMMENT I'D LIKE TO MAKE.

I WANT TO SAY AGAIN, THANKS FOR GIVING ME THE TIME TO SPEAK.

I WANT TO ALSO REITERATE THE FACT THAT I'M NOT AGAINST MOBILE HOMES.

I'VE GOT FRIENDS THAT LIVE IN THEM.

HELL, I MAY BE LIVING IN IT IF MY WIFE THROWS ME OUT TONIGHT, WHICH IS FINE WITH ME.

I'D LITERALLY CAMP WITH IT.

[OVERLAPPING] [LAUGHTER] I JUST WANT TO REITERATE.

IT'S THE HOT DENSITY DEVELOPMENTS IN AREAS THAT ARE NOT IN THE CITY LIMITS THAT THE COUNTY HAS TO DEAL WITH.

OUR SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND OUR DEPUTIES, OUR CONSTABLES' OFFICES, THAT'S WHAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT.

AGAIN, THOSE HIGH-DENSITY DEVELOPMENTS AROUND OUR NEIGHBORS THAT LIVE OUT THERE.

AGAIN, THEY MAY COME AT THE COUNTY.

I JUST THINK IT WOULD BE MUCH DIFFERENT.

I JUST WANTED AGAIN, REITERATE, HOW MUCH RESPECT I HAVE FOR YOU GENTLEMEN TONIGHT AND YOU'RE ALL FRIENDS.

[00:40:04]

I JUST WANT TO LEAVE IT AT THAT. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. I JUST FEEL LIKE I NEED TO OUT OF RESPECT TO THE DEVELOPERS WHO CAME TO ME.

IF YOU'D LIKE, WHY DON'T YOU COME TO THE PODIUM AND [NOISE] IF YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING BEFORE WE VOTE, WE'D APPRECIATE IT.

WE'VE TRIED. MR. HAWKIN, I WOULD JUST GIVE YOU RESPECT JUST FOR COMING TONIGHT AND PARTICIPATE WITH US.

>> I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

I'LL SAY A FEW THINGS.

THIS STARTED, I GUESS ABOUT LAST JANUARY BEFORE YOUR LAST CITY MANAGER LEFT.

HE SAID COME IN AND SEE IF THE CITY WANTED TO ANNEX, AND IF THEY DIDN'T, THEY'D LIKE TO SELL US UTILITIES.

WE'VE HUNG OUR HAT ON THAT.

HERE RECENTLY, WE STARTED APPROACHING THE TCEQ BECAUSE WE SAW THAT WE'RE GETTING ALL DIFFERENT FEEDBACK AND DIRECTIONS AND A BOTTLENECK IN BETWEEN.

I GUESS THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY IS YOU CAN PUT 969 HOMES ON THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY. WE CHOSE NOT TO.

FROM DAY 1, WE CHOSE 837 BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF MAJESTIC OAKS OUT THERE, AND WE'RE GOING TO SAVE THOSE TREES.

WE'RE GOING TO BUILD A VERY HIGH-END DEVELOPMENT, AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE WATER AND SEWER IN THAT DEVELOPMENT.

[BACKGROUND] THIS IS WHAT WE DO FOR THE LAST 40 YEARS, SO WE'RE GOING TO DO IT OUT THERE.

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SELL US WATER AND SEWER, THAT'S FINE.

THAT'S YOUR PRIVILEGE, YOUR VOTE.

IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYONE'S AGAINST IT.

IT WOULD'VE BEEN NICE THOUGH [NOISE] IF IT WAS OVER A YEAR AGO.

THIS IS WAITING TILL WE HAVE A LOAN IN PLACE, WAITING TILL MATULA IS MOVING OUT THERE TO START CONSTRUCTION, TO TELL US SOMETHING THAT COULD'VE BEEN SAID A YEAR AGO.

IT'S REALLY STRANGE THAT IT TOOK A YEAR TO COME UP WITH THAT DECISION.

BUT IT'S YOUR DECISION, WE RESPECT IT.

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND DO OUR DEVELOPMENT.

IT'LL STILL HAVE 837 LOTS; IT WON'T HAVE MORE THAN THAT.

IT'LL STILL BE AS HIGH END AS WE DESCRIBED IT TO YOU ALL.

IT WON'T CHANGE. THESE ARE VERY VALUABLE COMMUNITIES, AND WE'RE GOING TO BUILD IT THAT WAY SO WE CAN GET MAXIMUM VALUE FOR THAT COMMUNITY. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, SIR. WE APPRECIATE THAT.

ANY FURTHER COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL? HEARING NONE, I'LL CALL FOR THE VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

>> AYE.

>> ALL THOSE OPPOSED, SAME SIGN.

THAT MOTION HEARS. WE WILL RIDE ALONG.

NUMBER 7, DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION ON A LETTER OF INTENT WITH

[7. Discussion and possible action on a letter of intent with FMSbonds, Inc. for underwriting services & G-17 Disclosure.]

FMS BONDS INC FOR UNDERWRITING SERVICES, AND G17 DISCLOSURE.

IS THAT YOU, CHRIS? GO AHEAD, SIR.

>> AS PART OF THE PID PROCESS, WE NEED TO HIRE AN UNDERWRITER, WHICH IS FMS, AND THEY WOULD BASICALLY ISSUE THE DEBT PROCESS.

UNLIKE JOE MORROW THAT DOES IT FOR US FOR [INAUDIBLE] OBLIGATION, FMS STRICTLY DEALS IN PIDS.

JUST TO UPDATE YOU, WE'VE HIRED P3.

WE'RE WORKING THROUGH A PID POLICY SO THAT WE'VE GOT PROCEDURES, WE'VE GOT CRITERIA, AND THEN WE'RE WORKING A FEE PROCESS.

THIS IS ONE OF THE LAST PIECES TO GET ALL THAT TOGETHER.

WE HOPE TO HAVE EVERYTHING TOGETHER BY JULY SO THAT WE'VE GOT A FORMAL PID PROCESS AND P3 THAT WILL RUN THE PROCESS WITH OUR ATTORNEY AND THE CITY, AND THEN FMS WILL DO THE SALES, A PID BE APPROVED THEN WE ISSUE BONDS.

>> WHO'S FUNDING THE PID FOR RIVERWOOD RANCH? I GUESS WE APPROVED THE PID AMOUNTS, AND WE HAVEN'T GONE OUT FOR THE-

>> RIGHT, WE'RE RUNNING THEIR PID THROUGH P3 RIGHT NOW.

>> RIGHT, THEY'RE THE ONES WITH P3.

>> RIGHT. KHYBER AND MR. RAY AND COUPLE OTHER FOLKS HAVE APPROACHED US ABOUT PIDS.

WE'RE HOLDING THEM OFF A LITTLE BIT SO WE CAN GET A PID POLICY IN PLACE AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THE DEVELOPERS HAVE TO PROVIDE IN THIS PROCESS AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE TREATING EVERYONE FAIR AND EQUITABLE IN THIS PROCESS.

>> HOW GOT TO THE OTHER PIDS, WE JUST DID THAT THROUGH OUR PID ATTORNEY.

THEY'RE THE ONES WHO HELPED US FORMULATE AND GET THAT PROCESS AS WELL.

WHAT DID YOU SAY THE OTHER WAS?

>> P3.

>> P3, DID THEY DO GREEN TRAILS? NO? SOMEBODY TOLD ME IT'S SEPARATE.

>> GREEN TRAILS IS OUR OFFICIAL PID PROCESS HOLDERS.

[00:45:07]

AGAIN, WE'LL HAVE A FORMAL PROCESS WHERE THEY APPLY TO THE CITY, THEY SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FEE, THEN THEY SUBMIT SOME MORE MONEY UNTIL IT GETS REVIEWED.

PART OF THE PROCESS TOO IS THAT IT HAS TO SHOW BENEFIT TO THE CITY.

THERE COULD BE AN ASSOCIATED FEE, FOR EXAMPLE, PER HOUSEHOLD THAT CAN GO TO OUR PARKS OR INFRASTRUCTURE OR OTHER PROGRAMS DEEMED BY THE CITY.

THAT'S THE POLICY THAT WE'RE WORKING OUT RIGHT NOW.

RIVERWOOD WILL NECESSARILY FALL INTO THE PID POLICY.

WE'VE GOT TO GET THEM MOVING.

THEY'RE TRYING TO PUT MODEL HOMES ON THE GROUND BY AUGUST, SO WE GOT TO WORK HARD TO GET THAT PID PROCESS GOING.

BUT AGAIN, WE'RE DEVELOPING THE POLICY FOR EVERYONE ELSE, A NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT DOESN'T HAVE A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

WHEN WE HAVE A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, IT MAY SAY SOMETHING LIKE THEY CAN HAVE A PID, AND IT'S A BONDED PID OR A NON-BONDED PID AND KEEP IT AT THAT.

THEN, WE'LL HAVE ALREADY VETTED THEM THROUGH THE PROCESS SAYING THAT THE PID MAKES SENSE AND IT'S FINANCIALLY [NOISE] SOLID.

>> I'M ASSUMING THIS THE GENTLEMAN THAT'S WITH THE COMPANY?

>> YES.

>> OKAY.

>> TRIPP DAVENPORT WITH FMSBONDS.

JUST TO CLARIFY, P3, THE CITY'S PID ADMINISTRATOR REPRESENTS THE CITY THROUGH THIS PROCESS.

YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR, JOE MORROW WITH HILLTOP, WILL ALSO REPRESENT YOU ALONG WITH YOUR BOND COUNSEL, YOUR CITY ATTORNEY.

I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DEVELOPER AND THE CITY.

I CONDUCT IF THE CITY CHOOSES TO ISSUE BONDS OR MAKE IT A BONDED PID, I CONDUCT DUE DILIGENCE ON THE DEVELOPER, WE DO CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS, WE DO LITIGATION SEARCHES, WE LOOK AT THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION, AND WE LOOK AT THE DEVELOPMENT, AND SEE IS IT CREDIT WORTHY? IS IT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN GO TAKE TO THE MARKET? WE CONDUCT THAT DUE DILIGENCE, WHEN AND IF YOU EVER GET TO THAT POINT, AND THEN WE'LL ALSO PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON THE PID POLICY, WORK WITH YOUR FINANCE TEAM AND THE FOLKS THAT REPRESENT YOU, AND COME UP WITH ITEMS THAT WE CAN ASK THE DEVELOPER TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS A CREDIT WORTHY PROJECT, AND THAT THE CITY IS COMFORTABLE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE PROCESS.

WE DON'T MAKE A DIME UNTIL END OF BONDS EVER GET ISSUED.

IF THE CITY OF ANGLE TON NEVER ISSUES BONDS, I NEVER GET PAID.

IT'S JUST A RISK I TAKE AND THE ROLE THAT WE PROVIDE.

>> THEY'RE ONE OF THE FEW COMPANIES THAT DO PID BONDS?

>> YES. SINCE 2018, WE HAVE HAD OVER A 100 PERCENT MARKET SHARE IN TEXAS, AND 70 PERCENT MARKET SHARE IN FLORIDA, WHICH ARE THE TWO MAIN STATES THAT USE THIS TOOL FOR DEVELOPMENT.

>> GOOD INFORMATION, THANK YOU.

>> YES, SIR.

>> THAT DECLARED [INAUDIBLE].

>> IN THE CASE WHERE A BOND IS ISSUED, WHO NORMALLY WOULD PAY FOR YOU? WILL THE DEVELOPER PAY YOU OR WILL THE CITY HAVE TO PAY YOU?

>> NO. SIR. WHEN THE BONDS GET ISSUED, WE GET WHAT'S CALLED AN UNDERWRITER'S DISCOUNT LIKE WHEN YOU GO GET A BANK LOAN.

IT'S THE SAME CONCEPT, SO IT COMES OUT OF THE PID BONDS THAT THE DEVELOPER GETS.

I THINK PIDS ARE ORGANIZED AND STRUCTURED TO BE REVENUE-NEUTRAL FOR THE CITY.

I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT IT WON'T BE TIME CONSUMING FOR SOME STAFF, BUT WE EVEN HAVE CITIES THAT WILL BILL THEIR TIME AGAINST THE PID TO RECOUP THOSE FEES.

IT'S A REVENUE-NEUTRAL PROCESS FOR THE CITY.

>> THAT CAN BE OUR POLICY?

>> YES. THE FEES, FOR EXAMPLE, I'M JUST MAKING UP SOME NUMBERS, BUT THERE MAY BE A $5,000 APPLICATION FEE, AND THAT'S FOR CITY TIME AND LEGAL TIME TO REVIEW THE APPLICATION.

THEN THERE'S THE ACTUAL APPLICATION REVIEW BOND, AND SO THAT'S MAYBE $20,000, AND THAT GOES PAY P3 AND CITY TIME TO AGAIN REVIEW THE FEASIBILITY.

THOSE ARE, LET'S SAY THAT $20,000 AND 5,000 MAY BE REPLENISHABLE.

IF IT HITS THAT THRESHOLD, THE DEVELOPER PUTS MORE MONEY IN THERE, SO THAT AGAIN, CITY TIME AND P3 TIME AND ALL THAT IS NOT AT CITY EXPENSE.

>> THE END GOAL IS TO HELP COUNCILMAN [INAUDIBLE] RUN THAT, HOPEFULLY, THERE'S NO BILL OR NO FUNDING COMING FROM THE CITY.

IT'S ALL EITHER THROUGH THE DEVELOPER OR THROUGH THE BOND.

>> WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE IT A PROCESS SO THERE IS NO HOPING IT'S NOT.

>> OTHER THAN STAFF TIME WHICH POTENTIALLY COULD BE RECOUPED OR REFUNDED THROUGH A FEE THROUGH THE INITIAL APPLICATION?

[00:50:01]

>> RIGHT.

>> THANK YOU.

>> WHAT WAS THE LAST BOND THAT YOU ISSUED? WHAT CITY WAS IT?

>> CITY OF SOLIDO WHICH WE PRICED TODAY AND CAME IN AND A 352 IS THE LOWEST RATED PRIZED BOND EVER.

WE DID ABOUT 125 SINCE 2015.

>> ANYTHING IN THIS AREA, EXCEPT THE HOUSTON AREA?

>> YES, SIR. TOMBALL, SHENANDOAH.

WE'RE WORKING WITH BAY TOWN ON THREE PIDS OR MAYBE FOUR ACTUALLY.

I FOUND OUT TODAY, A FOURTH ONE CAME IN.

BAY CITY. WE'RE STARTING TOMORROW ON A PROJECT, SO YES, SIR.

>> CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT BONDS AND DEBT TO THE CITY AND ABILITY TO GO OUT FOR BONDS IN THE FUTURE AND THAT STUFF.

>> SURE. IF THE CITY CHOOSES TO ISSUE A BOND OFF OF THE PID, IT'S NON-RECOURSE TO THE CITY.

IT'S A SPECIAL REVENUE TO THE CITY, SO IT DOESN'T COUNT AGAINST THE FULL FAITH AND CREDIT.

IF SOMETHING BAD EVER HAPPENED AND THEIR PROJECT WENT DEFAULT OR WHATNOT, THEIR GENERAL TAX BASE IS NOT AT RISK.

INVESTORS VIEW THIS AS A VERY SEPARATE AND DISTINCT REVENUE THAT HAS NO IMPACT ON YOUR ABILITY TO GO AND RAISE CAPITAL WHENEVER YOU NEED TO GO, ISSUE BONDS FOR WATER, OR SEWER, FOR GENERAL OBLIGATION, CERTIFICATES OBLIGATION HOWEVER YOU WANT TO FINANCE IT, SO IT DOES NOT HAVE THAT IMPACT.

A DEFAULT ON A PID WOULD NOT IMPACT THE CITY'S CREDIT RATING WHATSOEVER.

IT'S A VERY SEPARATE, DISTINCT REVENUE.

WE SELL THESE BONDS ONLY TO LARGE INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS.

WE DON'T WANT THESE BONDS IN THE HANDS OF FOLKS THAT PROBABLY SHOULDN'T GET THEIR HANDS ON IT.

WE DO A $100,000 DENOMINATIONS.

IF YOU EVEN WANT TO BUY A BOND, YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING TO COMMIT $100,000, AND THEN YOU HAVE TO BE WHAT'S CALLED A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER, WHICH IS INSTITUTIONAL-LIKE GOLDMAN SACHS AND NUVEEN ASSET MANAGEMENT.

REALLY LARGE INSTITUTIONS ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT WE AS A FIRM CHOOSE TO MARKET TO.

THERE'S NO LEGAL REQUIREMENT. WE JUST DO IT VOLUNTARILY.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, OR COMMENTS?

>> WHAT'S A REASON NOT TO DO A BOND?

>> FOR THE DEVELOPER, OR FOR THE CITY? [LAUGHTER]

>> FOR THE CITY.

>> FOR THE CITY. TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, IF YOU WERE TO COMPARE A DEBT PID VERSUS A CASH FLOW PID, I THINK THERE WERE FAR MORE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CASH FLOW PID.

WHEN YOU DO A DEBT PID.

ONE, YOU HAVE MY TEAM, AND I HAVE A TEAM OF ATTORNEYS THAT ARE LOOKING AT THE PROJECT.

YOU HAVE YOUR TEAM LOOKING AT IT, AND THEN YOU HAVE THE DEVELOPER TEAM LOOKING AT IT.

THEN WHEN WE GO AND ISSUE THAT BOND, THE TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE REVIEWS IT AND PROVIDES AN OPINION THAT TELLS THE WORLD THAT THIS BOND IS INCONTESTABLE FOR STATE LAW PURPOSES.

WHEN WE SELL THEM ONLY TO INSTITUTIONAL ACCOUNTS AND WE PUT RESTRICTIONS IN THE ACTUAL SALE THAT IT HAS TO GO TO THESE ACCOUNTS.

THESE FOLKS WILL HOLD ONTO IT FOR A VERY LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

WHEN YOU DO CASH FLOW PIDS, THE DEVELOPER CAN TAKE THAT NOTE BECAUSE YOU BASICALLY ENTER INTO A LOAN WITH THE DEVELOPER.

THEY CAN GO TAKE THAT NOTE AND GO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT WITH IT AND THE AG DOES NOT REVIEW IT.

SOME OF YOUR TEAM MEMBERS MAY REVIEW IT, BUT ONCE IT GETS INTO THE DEVELOPER'S HAND, NO ONE ELSE REVIEWS IT.

WHEN WE HEARD THIS CRAZY STORY OUT OF NORTH TEXAS WHERE THERE WAS A CITY THAT DID A CASH FLOW PID AND ABOUT SIX MONTHS LATER, THEY WERE GETTING CALLS FROM A LAUNDRY MAN, SOMEONE THAT OWNED A TRUCK STOP, AND SOMEBODY ELSE.

IT WAS STRANGE.

WANTING TO KNOW WHERE THEIR ASSESSMENTS WERE BECAUSE THE DEVELOPER HAD GONE IN, MONETIZED THESE ASSESSMENTS IN A THIRD MARKET WITHOUT ANY DUE DILIGENCE OR WHATNOT.

NOW THE PID WAS PERFORMING, THEY GOT THE ASSESSMENTS ABOUT JUST THOSE ARE THE HORROR STORIES THAT WOULD KEEP ME UP AT NIGHT IF I DID A CASH FLOW PID.

A CASH FLOW PID IS NOT GOING TO BE TERRIBLY LUCRATIVE FOR A DEVELOPER BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE PAID OVER A 30 YEAR PERIOD.

WHEREAS A DEBT PID THEY GET THE MONEY SOONER RATHER THAN LATER, SO IT MAKES THE BENEFIT THAT THEY CAN PROVIDE THE CITY GREATER.

BECAUSE ON A CASH FLOW PID, IT'S REALLY NOT GOING TO BE THAT GREAT FORMATIVE BUT WITH A DEBT PID, IT'S A WIN-WIN.

IF YOU ALL ARE WILLING TO DO THAT AND THEY'RE WILLING TO HELP YOU ALL DO SOMETHING.

WHETHER THAT'S A PARK FEE OR WHATEVER THE CITY DECIDES TO DO, THAT'S THE TRUE BENEFIT ON THESE TYPES OF PROJECTS.

>> JUST TO ADD, THERE IS PID PROJECT FEE THAT THE DEVELOPER WOULD PAY.

AGAIN, IT'S ASSESSMENT ON A NUMBER OF HOUSES WAY YOU CAN DO IT IN THOSE THINGS.

THAT'S ADDITION TO PARKLAND IN THE APPLICATION FOR YOU.

[00:55:01]

WE CAN TAG IT FOR WHATEVER WE WANT AND SAY, THIS IS MORE OFF THE SIP OR THE STRATEGIC PLAN OR WHATEVER THAT WE WANT TO DO.

IT'S NOT IN LIEU OF A PARKLAND OR CAFES OR ANYTHING ELSE.

>> ANY MORE QUESTIONS, COMMENTS?

>> I GUESS THE LAST ONE IS, THE PIDS THAT NORMALLY COME OUT.

YOU SAID 30 YEARS? WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE OF 30, BECAUSE SOMETHING I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT WAS 25 OR 20?

>> IT'S WHATEVER YOU WANT TO MAKE IT.

THAT IS A PUBLIC POLICY DECISION.

THE STATUTE ALLOWS UP TO 40 YEARS.

WE'VE WORKED ON SOME AS SHORT AS 15.

WE'VE DONE SOME AS LONG AS 35.

THE REASON 30 YEARS IS, IT MATCHES THE MORTGAGE.

[OVERLAPPING] THAT'S WHERE THAT CAME INTO PLACE, BUT IN REALITY, THESE BONDS WILL PROBABLY BE REFUNDED IN ABOUT 7-10 YEARS FOR ECONOMIC SAVINGS FOR THE HOMEOWNER.

THE 30 YEARS, AS JUST COVERED, BECOME A PART OF THE CULTURE. THERE'S NO REASON WHY.

WE'RE THE PID UNDERWRITER FOR THE CITY OF CALERA, OUTSIDE OF AUSTIN, AND THEY DO 25 YEARS.

CITY OF TROPHY CLUB, WE DID 20 YEARS.

SO IT'S JUST REALLY A PUBLIC POLICY DECISION FROM YOU ALL.

>> MR. MAYOR, I MOVE, WE ENTER INTO A LETTER OF INTENT WITH FMSBONDS FOR UNDERWRITING SERVICES AND G17 DISCLOSURE.

>> I'LL SECOND IT.

>> I HAVE A MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM BOOTH, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN GONGORA.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? I'M SORRY.

>> HE'S NOT PRO TEM.

>> WHO? [LAUGHTER] DID I ELEVATE YOU AGAIN? MAYOR PRO TEM WRIGHT, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN GONGORA.

MY MIND JUST HIT 50.

[OVERLAPPING] I'M GETTING OLD,13 BRAIN CELLS.

I HAVE A MOTION, ANY DISCUSSION? CHRIS, I WOULD LIKE TO SIT DOWN WITH HIM AT SOME POINT OR EVEN STILL CONFERENCE CALL, PICK HIS BRAIN TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE BENEFITS, THE PROS, THE CONS.

IT SEEMS LIKE THIS GENTLEMAN HAS A LOT OF INFORMATION.

HE'S BEEN THERE, DONE THAT PITFALLS, SO WE DON'T GET STUCK SHOULD WE GO PITFALL.

SOMETIMES [NOISE] THOSE ARISE.

HE'S GOT WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE, AND COULD BE VERY BENEFICIAL, AT LEAST, TO PROVIDE A LEARNING EXPERIENCE, FOR ME, TO UNDERSTAND THIS WHOLE PIT PROCESS.

>> CAN I MAKE A RECOMMENDATION?

>> YES, SURE.

>> THEY ARE CONVENING THEIR OFFICE TO THE DALLAS COWBOYS TRAINING CENTER, [LAUGHTER] THAT WE MAKE A STAFF TRIP FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SESSION.

>> GIVE ME ENOUGH NOTICE, I'LL GET US OUR TOUR SET. [LAUGHTER]

>> I'M GOING TO WEAR MY TEXAN GEAR.

[LAUGHTER] THERE'S A BEAUTIFUL FACILITY OUT THERE.

JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT, [OVERLAPPING] FEW WEEKS, FEW MONTHS, JUST BECAUSE NOW THAT WE'RE ENTERING INTO TERRITORY THAT WE'RE NOT USED TO, JUST SO WE DON'T HIT A PITFALL.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE.

I'LL CALL FOR THE VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

>> AYE.

>> ALL THOSE OPPOSED, SAME SIGN.

THAT MOTION CARRIES. NUMBER 8.

>> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, SIR. TRIP, YOU SAID?

>> YES, SIR.

>> THANK YOU. EIGHT. DISCUSSION OF

[8. Discussion and possible actions on any of Governor Abbott’s latest executive orders, Brazoria County’s emergency declarations and impact on the City of Angleton and how to proceed with city business in the future.]

POSSIBLE ACTION ON ANY OF GOVERNOR ABBOT'S [NOISE] LATEST EXECUTIVE ORDERS, RESORTED COUNTIES OR MANAGEMENT DECLARATIONS, AN IMPACT ON THE CITY OF ANGLETON, AND HOW TO PROCEED WITH CITY BUSINESS IN THE FUTURE. MR. GLENN.

>> GOOD EVENING. AS THIS SEEMS TO BE WINDING DOWN, OUR NUMBERS ARE GETTING LOWER AND LOWER, BETTER AND BETTER STATE.

THE GOVERNOR HAS SIGNED HIS CONTINUATION OF THE DISASTER DECLARATION ON FRIDAY, JUST LIKE Y'ALL DID TODAY.

WE HAVE MADE A GOOD EFFORT ON SPENDING THE REMAINDER OF OUR CARES ACT MONEY.

WE'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF THINGS FINISHED, A LOT OF THINGS ARE IN PROCESS.

SEVERAL ARE COMPLETE, AND JUST NOT READY FOR OPERATIONS.

HASN'T REALLY BEEN MUCH CHANGE IN THE LAST MONTH OR SO.

>> I JUST LIKE TO WELCOME YOU TO THE PODIUM.

WE STARTED BEFORE SEVEN O'CLOCK.

[LAUGHTER]

>> I WAS JUST LOOKING AT MY WATCH.

>> THE SUN IS STILL UP.

>> FOR THOSE OF YOU IN THE AUDIENCE LISTENING ONLINE, USUALLY WHEN WE GET TO GLENN'S ITEM ON THE AGENDA, IT'S BETWEEN 10.30 AND MIDNIGHT.

[LAUGHTER] TONIGHT IS A MUCH EASIER NIGHT.

WE'VE HAD SOME PRETTY LENGTHY DISCUSSIONS ON SOME VERY HOT TOPIC ITEMS.

>> THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN DAYLIGHT. [LAUGHTER].

>> THAT'S RIGHT. THE LIGHT LOOKS GOOD COMING THROUGH THE WINDOW, GLENN.

>> ALSO COLLINS, GUYS..

>> ALRIGHT. THANK YOU.

>> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL AND MAYOR.

APRIL 1ST, 2020, THE US DEPARTMENT OF LABOR ANNOUNCED THE EMERGENCY PAID SICK LEAVE AND EMERGENCY FAMILY MEDICAL EXPANSION ACT, WHICH IN JANUARY COUNCIL EXTENDED TO ALLOW FOR

[01:00:02]

PAID LEAVE AND YOU ASKED THAT I COME BACK TO YOU IN JUNE TO DISCUSS THE CONTINUATION OF THAT.

AT THIS TIME, THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR HAS EXTENDED IT TO THE END OF SEPTEMBER.

I WILL TELL YOU THAT, IN THE TIME, WE HAVE EXTENDED IT.

THREE INDIVIDUALS HAVE UTILIZED THAT LEAVE.

ONE WAS BECAUSE THEIR SCHOOL WAS CLOSED DUE TO STAFF TESTING, AND THEY WEREN'T GOING TO KEEP OTHER CHILDREN IN THE SCHOOL DUE TO COVID.

WE DID HAVE SOMEONE ACTUALLY CONTRACT COVID A SECOND TIME.

THEN WE HAD SOMEONE OUT UNDER QUARANTINE.

SINCE THEN, THOSE THREE INDIVIDUALS HAVE EXHAUSTED THEIR ALLOWED LEAVE.

BUT AT THIS TIME, I COME BACK TO COUNCIL TO SEE IF YOU'D LIKE TO CONTINUE THE PAID LEAVE, OR YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THAT STOP EFFECTIVE END OF THE MONTH, OR WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO?

>> GO AHEAD, CHRIS.

>> I'D LIKE TO RECOMMEND WE CONTINUE.

IT'S NOT AFFECTING A LOT OF PEOPLE, BUT IT'S BEEN NECESSARY IN CASES, AND I THINK WE SHOULD CONTINUE THE POLICY UNTIL DEPARTMENT OF LABOR OR SOMEONE ELSE DISCONTINUES IT.

>> I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING, ONLY BECAUSE IT'S STILL THERE, WHETHER PEOPLE BELIEVE IT OR NOT.

SOMETHING IS STILL THERE, WHICH IS MAKING PEOPLE SICK.

BUT IF WE, AS A CITY, CAN'T USE WORD AFFORD, BUT IF IT'S DOESN'T PUT US IN A BOND, SO TO SPEAK, WE ARE STILL GOING TO HELP THAT INDIVIDUAL.

I SAY, WE'RE IN A POSITION TODAY.

WE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN IN THIS POSITION 10, 15 YEARS AGO, BUT TODAY IF IT DOESN'T PUT US IN A BOND, I'M ALL IN AGREEMENT OF EXTENDING AS FAR AS THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR HAS, TO KEEP IT ON. MY TWO CENTS.

>> I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA.

I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU, ARE YOU GIVING ANYBODY TIME OFF TO GET VACCINATED? I KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING IN THE PRIVATE WORLD WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF THAT.

>> NO ONE HAS COME TO ME TO REQUEST THAT TIME OFF.

>> WE DON'T HAVE AN OFFICIAL POLICY, BUT FROM JUST TALKING TO FOLKS, THEY GO GET IT WHEN THEY WANT IT, AND THERE'S NO ISSUES.

>> I'VE BEEN READING A LOT ON THAT, AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT I KNOW IN THE BUSINESS WORLD ARE GIVING PEOPLE THAT SECOND, OR THAT DAY OFF IF THEY HAVE THE ILL EFFECTS COMING AS A SIDE EFFECT FROM THE SHOT, AND PEOPLE CAN'T GET TO WORK. [OVERLAPPING].

>> THAT DOES FALL INTO THOSE AS WELL.

>> SO IT'S IN THERE?

>> YES. IT DOES FALL INTO THAT.

>> OKAY. NOT SAYING FOR OR AGAINST ANY OF THAT, I'M JUST SAYING, AS LONG WE'RE THERE.

[NOISE]

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? DO YOU NEED SOMETHING, CHRIS OR COLLIN, ON REGARDS TO THIS?

>> I'D LIKE A MOTION TO EXTEND THE SICK POLICY THAT WAS PRESENTED OR JUST A CONTINUAL.

>> THEY'LL LEAVE UNDER THE FFCRA.

>> THAT'S IT. THAT'S THE WORD.

>> COUNCIL.

>> I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CONTINUE TO LEAVE UNDER FFCRA AS CURRENTLY IN PLACE UNTIL IT'S BROUGHT BACK BEFORE, I GUESS POSSIBLY SEPTEMBER.

>> SEPTEMBER WOULD BE THE TIME.

>> OKAY.

>> SECOND.

>> MOTION BY COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND AND SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM, WRIGHT.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

>> AYE.

>> ALL THOSE OPPOSED, SAME SIGN.

THAT MOTION CARRIES.

>> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. MS. COLLIN. MR. GLENN, ANYTHING ELSE.

>> NO. THAT'S ALL GOOD. AS YOU CAN SEE AT YOUR DESK, YOU'VE GOT SOME MRES, EXAMPLES OF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO SPEND THE CARES ACT MONEY ON.

I HAD THE PRIVILEGE RECENTLY OF UPTAKING SURPLUS MASKS AND SURPLUS DIGITAL THERMOMETERS BACK TO OUR STORAGE UNIT AND BRINGING OUT SOME OF OUR HURRICANE SUPPLIES SO THAT WE'RE READY AS WE STAND INTO HURRICANE SEASON.

>> THANK YOU. THOSE OF YOU THAT CAN'T SEE US HERE ONLINE AND WE DID TASK ONE OF OUR AFTER-ACTION REVIEWS FOR FREEZE AND FOR FUTURE DISASTER THAT WE NEED TO SUPPORT OURSELVES, STAFF HAS GONE OUT AND PURCHASE LOTS OF WATER AND MRE SO THAT WE CAN SUPPORT STAFF WHO ARE GOING TO BE WORKING FOR A COUPLE OF THREE DAYS UNTIL WE CAN GET ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FROM THE STATE OR FROM THE COUNTY.

WE ARE BEING VERY DILIGENT AND TO BE SELF-SUFFICIENT FOR THE FIRST TWO TO THREE DAYS WITH OUR STAFF AND POTENTIALLY WITH SOME OF OUR BURNABLES WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, AND SO THAT WAS ONE OF OUR AFTER-ACTION REVIEWS, WAS TO TRY AND GET THAT IN PLACE.

STAFF HAS DONE A WONDERFUL JOB IN DOING THAT.

>> THE GOOD NEWS IS WE ATTENDED A COMMUNITY MEETING LAST WEEK.

A LOT OF THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING THE COUNTY, IS FOLLOWING THE SAME PROTOCOLS AND THERE'S WATER AND MRES STORED ALL OVER THE AREA.

>> AWESOME, THAT'S GOOD. I HOPE TO SAY WE'RE ONE OF THE FIRST ONES.

GOOD. [LAUGHTER] ANYTHING ELSE? MOVING RIGHT ALONG. THAT COMPLETES NUMBER 9,

[9. Update on the Brazoria County Joint Airport Zoning Board.]

AND UPDATE ON BRAZORIA COUNTY JOINT AIRPORT ZONING BOARD.

>> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

[01:05:01]

ON APRIL 13TH, YOU GUYS APPOINTED ME AS A STAFF LIAISON TO THE JOINT AIRPORT ZONING BOARD AND I APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH.

I HAVE A QUICK LITTLE UPDATE FOR YOU.

I ATTENDED A MAY 26TH MEETING WHERE THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM WAS DISCUSSED.

IT'S A 20-YEAR PROGRAM THAT BASICALLY GIVES A ROADMAP FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AND FACILITIES PLANNING, LAND-USE PLAN AT THE AIRPORT.

BASICALLY, ON YOUR EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SHEET FOR THIS AGENDA ITEM, THERE IS A WEBSITE IN THERE THAT IF YOU CLICK ON THAT, YOU CAN REVIEW THE ENTIRE PLAN COMPREHENSIVELY.

IT IS BROKEN [NOISE] UP INTO FIVE CHAPTERS.THE CHAPTERS INCLUDE AN INVENTORY OF AIRPORT ASSETS CURRENTLY, THE AVIATION DEMAND FORECAST, FACILITY REQUIREMENTS AND ALTERNATIVES, A RECOMMENDED CONCEPT, AND THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

THERE'S ALSO AN AIRPORT LAYOUT PLAN, AND THIS IS EXTREMELY COMPREHENSIVE AND VERY FASCINATING.

THE REASON I GAVE YOU ALL THIS IS BECAUSE IT IS AVAILABLE FOR COMMENTS.

IT IS A TWO-YEAR STUDY THAT'S BEEN PERFORMED BY COFFMAN ASSOCIATES AND THIS AIRPORT IS QUITE A LITTLE GEM.

IT IS REALLY NEAT AND SO I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GET A TOUR THE OTHER DAY AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE ANYBODY WHO HASN'T DONE THAT TO DO THE SAME, OR AT LEAST GO VISIT THE RESTAURANT, IT'S REALLY GOOD.

[LAUGHTER] JUST SOME NOTABLE PAGES AS YOU ARE GOING THROUGH YOUR AGENDA PACKET, I KNOW IT'S 500 PAGES, SORRY, MY FAULT.

[LAUGHTER] ON PAGE 259, THERE'S A PLAN MAP.

ON PAGE 286, THERE'S A FUTURE LAND USE MAP.

PAGE 258 CONTAINS THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM LIST AND IT'S BROKEN UP INTO YEARS ZERO THROUGH FIVE.

THOSE ARE GOING TO BE THE HIGHEST PRIORITY PROJECTS THAT ARE MORE RELEVANT TO SAFETY AND OTHER ISSUES THAT OF COURSE, ESCALATED IN PRIORITY NEED.

SIX TO 10 YEARS IS YOUR INTERMEDIATE PLANNING.

THERE'S ALSO A NEW RESTAURANT IN THAT 6-10 YEAR PLAN, AND THEN SO ON AND SO FORTH.

WE HAVE 11-20 YEAR PLANS.

THERE'S, AS I SAID, AN AIRPORT LAYOUT PLAN AT THE CONCLUSION WHICH I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO REVIEW.

IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS FOR COFFMAN ASSOCIATES, PLEASE GET IT IN WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.

>> THANK YOU. MS. LINDSAY. HER AND I ARE BOTH ON THIS LITTLE BOARD HERE TO TRY TO DO THIS.

I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT. LIKE YOU SAID, IT IS A GYM OVER THERE.

I'M SURE COMMISSIONER CAN ATTEST TO THAT, AND SO COOK COUNTY JUDGE KING BECAUSE HE HAD THAT UNDER HIS UMBRELLA WHEN HE WAS THE COUNTY JUDGE.

JUST ON A SIDE NOTE FOR THE PEOPLE AT HOME OR THOSE THAT ARE LOOKING, WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS PACKET.

JUDGE KING, YOU'RE IN HERE BECAUSE YOU WERE, I GUESS, THE INITIAL PLANNING ADVISORY COMMITTEES THOUGH.

I SEE YOUR NAME LISTED HERE WITH MR. [INAUDIBLE] FOR THE CITY OF REGULATORY, [LAUGHTER] THAT WAS QUITE [OVERLAPPING] SOME TIME AGO AND THAT GENTLEMAN WAS HERE.

I'M GLAD THEY'RE UPDATED AND [NOISE] LOOKING AT IT AND MOVING FORWARD BECAUSE I THINK YOU CAN REALLY BENEFIT OR ANGLETON COMMUNITY, THAT LITTLE AIRPORT OUT THERE.

IT'S NOT LITTLE. IT'S 7,000-FOOT RUNWAY, SO THAT'S PRETTY GOOD-SIZED AIRPORT.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR MS. LINDSAY?

>> YES.

>> GO AHEAD, SIR.

>> IN A SYNOPSIS, WHEN YOU'RE TALKING PLANNING FOR THIS AIRPORT FOR US AND ANGLETON, AND HOW IT AFFECTS ANGLETON.

THERE'S ONLY THE SMALL AREA TO THE SOUTH, INTO THE IMMEDIATE WEST OF IT THAT IS AN ANGLETON ETJ.

WHAT KIND OF BENEFITS DO YOU SEE FROM THE AIRPORT COMING ANGLETON'S WAY?

>> WELL, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

I THINK I'LL SAY IT COULD BRING MORE TOURISM.

I'M THINKING PRIVATE USAGE.

THESE ARE SMALLER AIRCRAFTS TYPICALLY THAT LAND OUT THERE.

I WOULD THINK TOURISM, POSSIBLY BUSINESS MEETINGS AT THE AIRPORT, RESTAURANT.

IT'S A GOOD QUESTION. THAT'S SOMETHING I COULD CONTEMPLATE AND GET BACK TO YOU ON, THOUGH.

>> THEY HAVE A COUPLE HUNDRED ACRES ON THE EAST SIDE AND THE NORTH SIDE OR EAST SIDE AND SOUTHEAST SIDE.

THEY'RE TRYING TO DEVELOP THAT LAND FOR EITHER MANUFACTURING OR OTHER AIRCRAFT RELATED JOBS AND THAT WOULD BRING MORE PEOPLE TO FILL THE HOMES IN ANGLETON.

>> THAT WAS ALWAYS SOMETHING WE STRATEGIZE FOR CITY WAS HOW TO BEST UTILIZE THE AIRPORT BEING SO CLOSE TO US.

IT'S NOT AN RETJ, BUT IT CAN HAVE AN ECONOMIC IMPACT FOR OUR CITY.

I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE BROUGHT UP IN THE PAST WAS AROUND EITHER A FREE TRADE ZONE, SOMETHING WHERE THERE'S A MANUFACTURING, WAREHOUSING OPPORTUNITIES WHERE WE COULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT AND PULL IT INTO THE CITY.

THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT FOR ME AS A MEMBER OF CITY COUNCIL,

[01:10:01]

THAT HOW COULD IT BEST UTILIZE CITY OF ANGLETON RESOURCES.

TOO BAD WE DIDN'T GET THE WATER AND SEWER OUT THERE.

>> I THINK YOU'RE PERFECTLY DOWN, RIGHT ON THE HEAD, JOHN.

I'M HOPING WITH MYSELF AND LINDSAY THERE AT THE TABLE, WE CAN REALLY CHEER LEAD FOR ANGLETON AND FIGURE OUT HOW THIS CAN MOST DEFINITELY BENEFIT.

WHAT I SEE IS A SPIN OFF FROM THE AIRPORT, WHATEVER MAY BE BUSINESSLIKE OPPORTUNITIES THERE COULD SPIN OFF AND BRANCH OUT INTO SOME OF THE AVAILABLE LAND THAT IS 288 ON THE EAST SIDE RIGHT THERE, 220 NORTH, AND THAT HOLLOW AREA BUT [NOISE] IT'S AN OFFSHOOT FOR, LIKE YOU SAID, WAREHOUSING OR A BUSINESS WILL NOW COME IN BECAUSE THEY SEE ANOTHER BUSINESS THAT MAY SUPPORT THEIR BUSINESS OVER THERE.

HOPEFULLY, THE RIGHT PEOPLE CAN HEAR US AND SURELY A LOT ENOUGH THAT WE CAN BENEFIT A LOT MORE THAN MAYBE WHAT WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST.

WITH MYSELF AND LINDSAY, HOPEFULLY, WE CAN BE THAT MAKE CHEERLEADER AND DO THAT FOR US.

>> AGAIN, WHAT YOU SAID IS GREAT.

IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT I CAN TAKE BACK, I'M HAPPY TO DO IT.

MAYOR IS HAPPY TO DO IT.

WE'RE HERE TO REPRESENT THE CITY.

>> THERE IS A COMMISSIONER ON THE AUDIENCE THAT DOES HEAR OUR PLEA.

[LAUGHTER]

>> [INAUDIBLE]

>> [INAUDIBLE] [LAUGHTER]

>> WE WOULD BUT 1987 TOLD US IT'S NOT OURS.

[LAUGHTER]

>> ANY COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY [INAUDIBLE].

>> I DO ENCOURAGE EACH ONE OF YOU TO READ THIS.

IT WAS VERY ENLIGHTENING INFORMATION, ESPECIALLY IN THE 11, THE 10 YEAR ON UP, IS ACTUALLY ADDING ADDITIONAL RUNWAYS BECAUSE OF THE CURRENT ONE-WAY IS NOW MAGNETICALLY OFF A LITTLE BIT.

[NOISE] SO THEY ACTUALLY WANT TO ADD ANOTHER RUNWAY IN THERE TO MAKE IT MORE NORTH AND SOUTH, WHICH I DIDN'T KNOW THAT, BUT ACTUALLY, I GUESS, WE TURNED A LITTLE BIT.

SO THAT WAS VERY INTERESTING, UNTIL MY COMPUTER FLUBBED UP AND I COULDN'T TURN ON MY PHONE ANYMORE.

IT'S A GOOD READ; IT REALLY IS.

>> I GUESS THAT IS THE QUESTION.

THE FLIGHT PATH IS STILL NORTH-SOUTH, PRETTY MUCH?

>> YES.

>> THEY LAND FROM THE NORTH AND TAKE OFF FROM THE SOUTH, IS THAT STILL?

>> YES.

>> DEPENDING ON THE WIND DIRECTION. [OVERLAPPING]

>> DEPENDING ON THE WIND DIRECTION, OF COURSE.

>> ONE OF THE PROCESSES IS TO EXTEND THE IOS.

I DON'T KNOW THE AVIATION TERM, BUT THAT IF YOU EXTEND THE OBSTRUCTIONS ON NORTH AND SOUTH SIDE OF THE AIRPORT, THEN IT ALLOWS FOR NON-IOS FLIGHTS, AND THOSE BIGGER PLANES, AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

>> IT'S GOOD INFORMATION.

[LAUGHTER]

>> WELL, I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT FROM THE ANGLETON SIDE, THEY MIGHT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT [LAUGHTER] [INAUDIBLE] SIDE.

[BACKGROUND]

>> ANYTHING ELSE? LINDSEY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PARTICIPATING ON THAT AND KEEPING US IN THE LOOP.

>> YES, SIR. THANK YOU.

>> YES, MA'AM. ALL RIGHT, MOVING RIGHT ALONG.

[10. Discussion and possible action on an agreement with Sorrell Construction Equipment & Materials, LLC to demolish the municipal pool, pool house, pump house, all concrete paving, poles and perimeter fence and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement upon final legal review.]

NUMBER 10, DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE.

AM I ACTUALLY THE NEXT TO LAST ITEM, [INAUDIBLE]. I MAY WIN THE BET.

DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION ON AGREEMENT WITH SORRELL CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS, LLC, TO DEMOLISH THE MUNICIPAL POOL, POOL HOUSE, PUMP HOUSE, ALL CONCRETE PAVING, POLES AND PERIMETER FENCE, AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT UPON FINAL LEGAL REVIEW. MS. MEGHAN.

>> YES, GOOD EVENING. [OVERLAPPING]

>> LET ME JUMP IN REAL QUICK.

>> SURE.

>> I DIRECTED MEGHAN TO BRING THIS FORWARD.

THIS IS SOMETHING WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR THE LAST YEAR.

WE HAD THE DISCUSSION ABOUT CARE SPENDING, THEN WE HAD THE TPW FUNDS, AND WE TALKED ABOUT HAVING PROJECTS THAT WERE CONCRETE AND MOVE THINGS FORWARD.

SO LITERALLY, IT'S CONCRETE AND WE'RE TRYING TO MOVE THINGS FORWARD, THAT WE HAVEN'T DONE FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS.

I DIRECTED HER TO BRING THIS FORWARD USING THE CARES FUNDING INSTEAD OF THE TPW GRANT FUNDING REIMBURSEMENT THAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE CARES ACT. GO AHEAD.

>> THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
