>> OKAY. AND ITEM NUMBER 6: ADDRESSING IS $70,000 REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL WATER TAPS AND REPAIRS TO WATER LINES IN THE CITY.
[00:20:04]
I NEED SOME EXPLANATION ABOUT THAT, PLEASE.>> WATER TAPS AND NEW SUBDIVISIONS ARE INSTALLED BY THE DEVELOPER.
SEWER TAPS AND NEW SUBDIVISIONS ARE INSTALLED BY THE DEVELOPER.
IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SPECIFICALLY TAPS, THE NOSE SHOULD ALREADY BE IN THERE.
>> WHEN WIND ROSE GREEN, THAT'S ALL THE TAPS FIRST ON THE FIRST PHASE, THE WATER TAPS WAS NOT PUT IN INTO THAT SUBDIVISION.
NOW WE HAD TO GO BACK TO SPEND EXTRA MONEY AND MAKE ALL THE TAPS FOR PHASE 1 AND 2. PHASE 1.
>> I DON'T KNOW THAT WE AGREED TO ANY OF THAT IN THE AGREEMENT WITH WIND ROSES GREEN [OVERLAPPING].
TO PERFORM WATER TAPS AND SEWER TAPS?
>> YEAH. I DID SEND AN EMAIL AND APPLIED ON THAT TO REVIEWING THE AGREEMENT AND THAT WOULD BE BACK TO SHARE WITH YOU IF YOU'RE READY. BUT YES.
>> CAN YOU MOVE CLOSER TO THE MIC?
>> IT'S A COMPONENT OF THE AGREEMENT, THE UTILITY AGREEMENT.
>> I THINK THE UTILITY AGREEMENT SAYS, PHASE 1 AND 2, THE CITY INSTALLS AND PHASE FURTHER PHASES AS DEVELOPERS COST.
I WROTE AN EMAIL. I'LL BE GLAD TO FORWARD TO YOU.
>> OKAY, I WILL BECAUSE THAT IS QUITE UPSETTING.
[NOISE] [OVERLAPPING] I THINK WE'VE GOT HOODWINKED ON THAT RIGHT THERE.
>> WHAT IF WE SAID NO? CAN WE SAY NO?
>> IF THE AGREEMENT DICTATES THAT THAT'S THE REQUIREMENT THAT THE CITY GOT AN OBLIGATION THAT THE CITY TOOK ON, THEN THE CITY IS GOING TO HAVE TO APPLY.
>> I AGREE. BUT IF IT WAS AMBIGUOUS AND IT DIDN'T SAY THAT WE WERE NOT ON THE HOOK FOR IT.
BECAUSE I THINK IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY IN THAT DISCUSSION, I'M GOING BACK WHAT 2018-2019, THE WATER TAP WAS BECAUSE THE LINE BEING COMING ACROSS THAT NORTH-SOUTH THAT PROPERTY, WE'RE GOING TO PUT THE TAP IN TO START, BUT I DON'T REMEMBER US BEING ON THE HOOK FOR.
>> I FOUND IT. SORRY FOR THE DELAY.
>> THE WIND ROSE GREEN IS SUBJECT TO THE WATER SUPPLY AND WASTEWATER SERVICE CONTRACT BETWEEN THE CITY AND RANCHO ISABELLA MUD, AND THE AGREEMENT WAS EXECUTED APRIL 13TH, 2020.
SECTION 2.3 OF THAT AGREEMENT STATES THE CITY SHALL BE THE RETAIL PROVIDER OF WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICES FOR ALL CUSTOMERS IN THE MUD.
>> SECTION 3.3 STATES THE CITY SHALL BILL AND COLLECT FROM CUSTOMERS OF THE FACILITIES IN THE MUD AND SHALL FIX SUCH RATES AND CHARGES FOR CUSTOMERS.
SECTION 3.4, CONNECTION CHARGES.
THE CITY MAY IMPOSE THE CONNECTION CHARGE FOR CONNECTION TO THE FACILITIES.
THE CONNECTION CHARGES SHOULD BE BILLED TO THE PERSON REQUESTING THE CONNECTION AND NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DEVELOPER OR THE MUD UNLESS THE CONNECTION IS REQUESTED BY A DEVELOPER OR MUD.
THAT'S THE PERTINENT PROVISION.
[NOISE] THE CITY CAN FILL [OVERLAPPING] FOR REIMBURSEMENT.
>> TO THE DEVELOPER OR TO THE HOMEOWNER? [OVERLAPPING]
>> WAS MAYBE A MATTER OF SEMANTICS.
CONTRACT WHEN THE DEVELOPER DEVELOPS A PIECE OF PROPERTY, THEY PUT IN THE SEWER MAIN AND THEY PUT INTO WATER MAIN.
THEN THEY TAP THOSE LANES WITH LINES THAT GO OUT TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS.
THEN THAT PROPERTY OWNER COMES AND HOOKS UP AND CONNECTS TO THE SYSTEM.
BUT PHYSICALLY TAPPING THE WATER MAIN AND TAPPING THE SEWER MAIN, THAT IS ALWAYS INCLUDED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF SEWAGES [OVERLAPPING]
>> THE SEROTYPES WAS MADE IN JUST THE WATER TAPS.
>> WE CHARGE IT IN HOME TAB FEES.
>> IT WILL GET REIMBURSED. [INAUDIBLE]
>> YEAH. THIS IS JUST PUTTING THE MONEY BACK IN [INAUDIBLE]
>> I' JUST HOPING THAT WE WEREN'T ON THE HOOK FOR DOING [NOISE] THIS WOULD NOT BE COMPENSATED.
>> I GUESS LET ME ASK FOR CLARIFICATION FOR THE FUTURE.
IT SAYS WE MAY GO BACK IN CHARGE.
DO YOU WANT US TO GO BACK IN CHARGE OR NOT?
>> YOU SAYING YOU'RE ASKING US TO GO BACK AND CHARGE THE HOMEOWNER NOT THE DEVELOPER?
[00:25:01]
>> [OVERLAPPING] WE CHARGE INTO DEVELOPER WHEN THEY BUILD A HOUSE, THEY COME IN AND PAY.
RIGHT NOW WE CHARGING AT 1,000 DOLLARS PER LOT.
TAP FEE. BECAUSE BOTH HOUSES THE TIDE ON ONE LINE, SO YOU GET IN 2,000 DOLLARS.
IF WE GOT A BOARD, IT'S UNCERTAIN 50 DOLLARS A FOOT OR JUST A REGULAR TAP FEES.
I'D SAY 1,000 DOLLARS PER BLOCK.
>> THE FEE HAS TO BE RECOVERED. [OVERLAPPING]
>> IT'S SAFER THAT 1,000 DOLLARS COVERS THE CITY FORCE IS ACTUALLY TAPPING NEW SEWER MINE, DOESN'T IT?
>> YEAH. THE SEWERS ALREADY MADE EVERYTHING'S ALREADY STUBBED UP AND EVERYTHING.
WE GO IN, DIG THE WATER MAIN UP AND BOARD UNDERNEATH STREET OR ON THE SHORT SIDE, WE JUST LAY IT THERE AND [OVERLAPPING] HOOK TWO HOUSES TO ONE.
>> BUT THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS ALL THAT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE.
>> OKAY. [OVERLAPPING] WE'RE IN AGREEMENT. [INAUDIBLE]
>> [NOISE] I THINK WE ALREADY TALKED TO THE DEVELOPER OR THE OTHER PHASES THAT THEY CAN PUT IT IN.
>> IF WE'VE DISCUSSED THAT ENOUGH, THERE'S ANOTHER COMMENT THERE ABOUT REPAIRING WATER MAINS THAT CONTRACTORS HAVE MESSED UP ENTAIL.
>> THAT IS [OVERLAPPING] AT&T AND COMCAST.
>> HITTING THEIR LINES AND STUFF.
WE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY GOING BACK ON OVERTIME, CLAMPS AND ALL THAT, BUT WE DO GO BACK AND CHARGE THEM FOR THE BRIGHT.
>> WE'RE FILING CLAIMS EVERY TIME THAT HAPPENS.
ALL THAT DATA GOES TO COLLEEN AND COLLEEN TRANSMITS IT WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TRANSMITTER. [OVERLAPPING]
>> THEN WHAT'S THE NEED FOR THE 70,000 DOLLARS?
>> ALL THE REIMBURSED BECAUSE THAT WASN'T IN THE BUDGET IN MY LINE ITEM.
>> WE'RE GETTING REIMBURSED WITH THIS MONEY.
>> THERE'S AN OFFSETTING REVENUE ADJUSTMENTS AS WELL.
>> I JUST WONDER WHY WE EVEN HAD TO MOVE THE MONEY BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE ARE ALL SUPPOSED BE TAKING CARE OF ALL THAT.
>> COMITIA, YOU CAN TELL ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT AT MIDYEAR BUDGET, YOU'RE OVER SO YOU'RE MAKING THE ADJUSTMENT NOW, THE COST.
THEN AT THE YEAR-END, AT THE TIMING OF THE REVENUE, YOU'LL SEE THE OFFSET.
YOU'LL BE MAKING ANOTHER BUDGET AMENDMENT ADJUSTMENT AT THE END OF THE YEAR.
>> WELL, WE GOT TO GO SPEND THE TIME AND MONEY AND GO FIX IT THAT DAY.
>> THAT'S TRUE. [OVERLAPPING] EVERY PENNY OF THAT NEEDS TO BE REIMBURSED TO US.
>> DO YOU CHARGE AN AGGRAVATION FEE? [LAUGHTER]
>> NO IT'S CIRCULAR. IT'S UP TO THEM.
>> THEY ARE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE BORN THE HOLES IN THE GROUND.
THEY COULD OPEN, CUT AND DO THIS STUFF AND FIND THESE WATER MAINS [NOISE] AND THERE'S A LOT OF RESIDENTS AS OUT THERE THAT ARE GETTING THEIR STUFF DRILL THROUGH ALSO.
>> [INAUDIBLE] PRETTY HARD. SHE [OVERLAPPING]
>> THE ONE THAT I KNOW ABOUT HAS BEEN COMPENSATED, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WHEN ONE DAY THEY WAKE UP AND GO TO FLUSH AND IT DIDN'T WORK ANYMORE.
>> OR SOME WE FIND IT IN LIKE 30 TO 60 DAYS PAST.
>> WE LOAN BACK, BUT WE ARE BUILDING THEM GET WITH HR AND TRYING TO GET REIMBURSED.
>> DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD, LINDSAY OR YOU'RE GOOD?
>> I'M FORWARDING THE EMAIL RIGHT NOW TO ALL OF YOU.
>> THANK YOU. THANKS FOR THE EXPLANATION.
THAT'S THE ONLY REASON I PULLED IT OFF TO US.
GO MOST SQUARED, WE APPROVE ITEM NUMBER SIX OF THE AGENDA.
>> I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN LEE, SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSIONS? CECIL, THANK YOU FOR SEEING THAT NUMBER. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? [INAUDIBLE] HEARING NONE.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
>> ALL THOSE OPPOSED. SAME SIGN MOTION CARRIES.
>> THANK YOU COUNSEL. [OVERLAPPING]
>> JUST CAN'T QUICK QUESTION, DO WE HAVE TO PROVE FOR?
>> IF I WAS IN THE INITIAL AND THEN FOUR AND THEN SIX.
>> BEFORE WE MOVE ON ABOUT ITEM NUMBER 5.
>> IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT? LET ME KNOW.
HOWEVER, I DID WANT TO CONVEY TO YOU THAT GRADY SAID THAT HE WANTED ALL OF COUNCIL TO KNOW THAT HE WOULD HAVE BEEN HERE TONIGHT AND AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO DISCUSS ANYTHING ABOUT THAT ITEM.
HOWEVER, HE'S IN ANOTHER CITY, SO HE APOLOGIZED.
I PROMISED HIM I WOULD APOLOGIZE.
>> [OVERLAPPING] WHAT POINT IS HE TRYING TO MAKE THERE, ANOTHER CITY IS MORE IMPORTANT?
>> HE WENT TO GO SEE HIS FAVORITES.
>> [OVERLAPPING] THE ALPHABET. I'M SURE THE OTHER CITY DOES NOT BEGIN WITH AN A.
>> I JUST WANT TO MAKE ONE MORE NOTE ON ITEM FIVE.
ON YOUR AGENDA ITEM, IT DOES SAY OCTOBER 1ST AS THE EFFECTIVE DATE, BUT IT IS EFFECTIVE JUNE 1ST. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING.
[00:30:07]
>> [NOISE] HOW DOES THAT FLY IN THERE? JUDE ARE WE STILL GOOD OR?
>> YEAH. THAT'S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
THE RATE INCREASE IS EFFECTIVE JUNE 1ST.
NO, I'M SORRY. THAT'S NOT TRUE.
>> IT'S NOT EFFECTIVE UNTIL AFTER TODAY.
PROBABLY THE FIRST BILL WOULD BE JULY. [LAUGHTER]
>> THANK YOU. TELL GREDY THANK YOU FOR THAT AND THIS WAY.
THAT MOVES ALONG TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS. ITEM NUMBER 7, DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION ON AUSTIN COLONY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.
[7. Discussion and possible action on the Austin Colony Development Agreement.]
MR. WALTER, I'M ASSUMING THAT YOU'RE WALKING UP.>> [NOISE] THANK YOU. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, AS YOUR CALL BACK IN DECEMBER, THE AUSTIN COLLEGE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WAS IN FRONT OF YOU.
IT WAS APPROVED SUBJECT TO A COUPLE OF CONDITIONS.
WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT IF THEY WERE SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES TO THE DOCUMENT, IT WOULD BE BROUGHT BACK TO YOU ALL FOR APPROVAL.
THE DOCUMENT IS NOW READY FOR APPROVAL, BUT THERE'S SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES THAT WERE MADE.
YOU ALL NEED TO APPROVE IT. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.
>> THANK YOU SIR. MY MIND JUST WENT BLANK.
MR. [OVERLAPPING] SANDY'S HERE.
THANK YOU SIR, FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT. COUNCIL.
>> THIS HAS ALL BEEN REVIEWED, ALL AGREED TO.
[OVERLAPPING] DO YOU HAVE ANY POINTS YOU WANT TO MAKE?
>> WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY IS THAT A COMPONENT OF THE CHANGES REALLY HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE PID AND THE BONDING.
THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WAS A BY-PRODUCT OF THE INVOLVEMENT OF YOUR BOND COUNSEL, YOUR CONSULTANT P3, YOUR FINANCIAL CONSULTANT, HILLTOP, YOUR CITY ATTORNEY.
THAT'S WHAT'S DIFFERENT, THAT THIS ONE HAS EVERYTHING THAT WILL BE REQUIRED BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR BONDING UNDERPAID.
THE OTHER CHANGES, THERE WEREN'T SUBSTANTIVE IN THAT DEVELOPMENT IS DIFFERENT.
IT'S JUST THAT THE DIRECTION THAT YOU GAVE US PREVIOUSLY ON THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND THE PHASES IS IN HERE.
IF YOU'RE WONDERING WELL, IF IT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AGREEMENT, NO, IT'S NOT.
MR. RAY OF COURSE, CAN ALSO SPEAK TO THAT IF HE CARES TO.
>> THANK YOU. GO AHEAD, MR. RAY.
>> I AGREE WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY.
THE THINGS THAT VERBIAGE THE LANGUAGE THAT DEALT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, THE DEVELOPMENT ISSUES, WE'RE BASICALLY A RESTATEMENT OF WHAT THE CITY ATTORNEY AND I HAD AGREED TO PREVIOUSLY.
JUDITH THE BOND COUNSEL, I THOUGHT DID AN EXCELLENT JOB.
[NOISE] THEN I DO APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT THE BOND COUNSEL, THE HILLTOP SECURITIES PEOPLE, AND P3 WORKED ON THIS.
I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH TO KNOW IF IT'S GOOD OR BAD.
WHAT I DO KNOW [LAUGHTER] IS THERE'S A LOT OF STEPS.
AFTER WE GO OUT AND SPEND OVER 8 MILLION DOLLARS, THEN WE DIDN'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH A LOT OF STEPS TO GET OUR PIN MONEY.
WORKING WITH THOSE PEOPLE I THINK YOU PAVE THE WAY.
IT'S GOING TO BE A LOT EASIER FOR ALL OF US.
THAT'S WHAT I THINK AND THAT'S WHAT I HOPE.
NON COUNCIL, P3 AND HILLTOP SECURITIES AREN'T ALONE.
I TALKED TO THEM AND [NOISE] WE FINALLY GOT IT.
>> PARKLAND DEDICATION IS ALL RESOLVED TOO?
JUST A SIDE NOTE. WE HAVE BI WEEKLY, MEETING WITH P3 OR BOND ATTORNEY.
WE NOW HAVE A GOOD PROCESS IN PLACE THAT WE LOOKING FOWARD TALKING ABOUT HIS PID AND FUTURE STUFF OR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ARE ALL IN LOCK-STEP ON, COME OUT WITH TASKS AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK TO DEVELOPERS.
I THINK WE HAVE A REALLY GOOD PROCESS NOW OF MOVING FORWARD.
>> THANK YOU, SIR. I THINK CECIL, DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING SAY?
>> NO, I SAW THE TERM SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES AND I THOUGHT MIDNIGHT MEETING AGAIN, BUT OKAY. THANKS.
>> ALL RIGHT, COUNCIL, ON THE COMMERCIAL, WE TALKED ABOUT FIVE YEARS FROM THE ISSUANCE OF THE FIRST PERMIT.
[00:35:02]
>> I LITERALLY WENT BACK AND READ YOUR MINUTES AND LISTEN TO THE RECORDING.
THAT'S MY NEW MO BECAUSE YOU HAD THIS GREAT SOFTWARE NOW THAT I CAN DO THAT, I CAN LITERALLY GO BACK AND LISTEN TO WHAT YOU SAID [INAUDIBLE]
>> ALL RIGHT. MR. MAYOR, MAY WE APPROVE THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR AUSTIN COLONY?.
>> OKAY. MOTION BY COUNCILMAN BOOTHS, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN GINGER.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING I.
>> ALL THOSE OPPOSED SAME SIGN.
THANK YOU, MR. RAY. THANK YOU, MS. JUDITH AND EVERYBODY ELSE WHO WORKED ON THIS.
ITEM NUMBER EIGHT, DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION ON A REGIONAL ANIMAL SERVICES FACILITY.
[8. Discussion and possible action on a regional animal services facility.]
IS THAT GOING TO BE BRENDA OR RUBEN? I'M SORRY ASSISTANT CHIEF DAHLSTROM.>> ALL RIGHT. ANOTHER CLEANUP.
>> WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF CONVERSATIONS WITH A COUPLE CITY MANAGERS ABOUT DOING A REGIONAL ANIMAL CONTROL GLUTEN-FREE PORK.
CURRENTLY PARTNER WITH CITY OF JACKSON.
THEIR PARTNERSHIP IS ENDING AS OF FISCAL NEXT YEAR.
WE'VE EMPHASIZED THAT THEY'RE INSTANT PARTNERING WITH ANGLETON OR PARTNERSHIP AND SO I'VE ASKED LUPE TO DELVE INTO BUDGETS AND ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.
WE'RE NOT LOOKING FOR ACTION, WE'RE JUST GIVING AN UPDATE AND SEEKING DIRECTION WHETHER YOU WANT TO DO THIS, BECAUSE THAT WILL MEAN POTENTIALLY BY NEXT YEAR WE HAVE TO BE DOING SOMETHING WHETHER IT'S INTERMEDIATE STEP AND THAT AFFECTS OUR ANIMAL CONTROL SHELTER AND THOSE THINGS. GO AHEAD.
>> GOT SOME HANDOUTS. [OVERLAPPING]
>> LUPE IS IN DANBURY TALKING TO US ALSO?.
>> WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT IT IS, AND BRENDA'S BROKE ALL THIS DOWN.
THE BOTTOM ONE IS BASICALLY JANUARY 2021 TO MAY 22.
THAT'S THE NUMBERS THAT WE'VE PICKED UP.
FREE PORTS IS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS FAR AS THE TIMESPAN.
THE ONLY ONE THAT'S SKEWED IS WE COULD ONLY GET FROM AUGUST OF 2021 THROUGH AND IT SAYS TODAY WHICH WAS THROUGH MAY FROM CLUE.
BUT THEIR NUMBERS ARE JUST CLIMBING UP, BUT IT IS GOING TO DRASTICALLY CHANGE THE INCOME AND THE SIZE, AND AS WE ALL KNOW, I THINK A LOT OF THE STAFF, THEY'VE GONE AND HELP VOLUNTEER TO HELP CLEAN.
WE'D BE LOOKING AT STAFFING AND THE SIZE OF THE NEW LOCATION.
>> BUT SO I THINK THE CONVERSATIONS HAVE BEEN SO FAR THAT THEY WOULD STILL MAINTAIN THE PICKUP THAT WE WOULD BECOME THE DELIVERY LOCATION. IS THAT CORRECT?
>> YES SIR, THEY HAVE ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICERS.
IT'S NOT LIKE THE AGREEMENT WE HAVE WITH RICHWOOD.
THEY HAD THEIR OWN ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICERS.
THEY'LL TAKE CARE OF IT, BUT THEY'LL JUST BRING THE ANIMALS TO THE SHELTER AND THEN WE'LL WORK ON THE RESCUES AND ALL OF THAT.
>> I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S THE RELATIONSHIP WITH JACKSON MONETARILY?.
DO THEY GIVE ANY FUNDS LIKE JACKSON FOR SUPPORT?
>> YES SIR, THEY GIVE JACKSON FUNDS.
I THINK IT'S SOMEWHERE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD REPORTS AROUND 200,000 AND INCLUDE MAYBE 85 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, PLUS [BACKGROUND] NET TO THE SPCA, WITH THE LAKE JACKSON FACILITY.
PLUS PER ANIMAL, THEY PAY AN ADDITIONAL 150 DOLLARS OR 50 DOLLARS IN ADDITION TO WHAT THEY ALREADY PAID THE 285.
>> WE WOULD BE LOOKING FOR SOME ARRANGEMENT SIMILAR TO THAT.
[00:40:01]
I KNOW WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT DIRECTION TONIGHT, I'D NEED TO SEE A FINANCIAL BREAKDOWN OF HOW THIS WOULD WORK.IF YOU NEED MORE SPACE, ARE WE GOING TO LEASE AN OLD BUILDING? WE'RE GOING TO BE GETTING THAT INCOME TO GO TO A LEASING OF A BUILDING, HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE YOU NEED? MORE OF A FINANCIAL BREAKDOWN FOR ME.
I MEAN, IF WE CAN HELP WHERE WE CAN AND IT HELPS ALL THE CITIES AND IT DOESN'T COST THE TAXPAYERS EXTRA HERE IN ANGLETON.
I THINK WE HAVE A GREAT OPERATION, AND I THINK IT'S NOTICED BY OTHER AREA CITIES AND THEY'D LIKE TO JUMP IN AND WHERE WE CAN HELP.
>> I JUST THINK THAT WOULD ALSO HELP US WITH OUR FACILITY SO WE CAN GET A BETTER FACILITY FOR THE ANIMALS THAT ARE HERE IN THE CITY, AND WE CAN BETTER SERVE AS OUR CITIZENS AS WELL.
BECAUSE YOU OBVIOUSLY WE'D HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING DIFFERENT, SOMETHING BIGGER, SOMETHING BETTER.
>> JOHN LIKE YOU SAID, THIS IS THE FIRST STEP IN THE GAME OF CHESS.
YOU ALL TO SAY, PURSUE THIS, AND FOR THEM TO COME BACK AND SAY, HERE'S THE NUTS AND BOLTS, LIKE THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO COMMIT, WHATEVER AND THEN WE HAVE TO OPERATIONALIZE THAT, LIKE YOU SAID AND SAY THAT'S THREE MORE PEOPLE, THAT'S A NEWER AND BIGGER FACILITY AND ALL THOSE DECISIONS THAT WE'D HAVE TO MAKE AND GET THEM TO COMMIT TO THAT SO THEN WE CAN GO DOWN THAT ROAD AND SAY, WE'RE GOING TO GET X, AND THIS IS HOW WE'RE GOING TO EXECUTE THAT.
THERE MAY BE SOME INTERMEDIATE STEPS BECAUSE IT'S A PRETTY SHORT TIMELINE, THAT WE COULD HOUSE ANIMALS OVER THE OLD INTERMETALLICS AND SOME OF THOSE THINGS AS AN INTERIM STEP AS WE GROW THIS.
>> BECAUSE THERE'S THE OLD PLACE.
>> THE BACK BUILDING IS OVER INTERMETALLICS?
>> I BELIEVE IT'S RELEASED DOWN THE ASSISTANT CHIEF CHECK-IN.
>> AGAIN, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING AT OUR LEVEL. JUST BRAINSTORM.
WHAT WE DO AS A INTERIM, IF WE WERE TO GET A NEW SHELTER THAT COULD HANDLE THE CAPACITY.
>> WE COULD GET ONE PARALLEL IT WAS ONLY 9.94 MILLION DOLLARS [LAUGHTER].
FACILITIES AND I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU-ALL FEEL ABOUT THAT, NINE MILLION VERSUS 7.5.
>> MY THING REALLY IS JUST MY DIRECTION OF WHAT I THINK JUST LOOKING AT THIS IS, IT'S AN AGREEMENT WITH AREA CITIES WHO CAN CHANGE THEIR MIND AT ANYTIME IN THE FUTURE PERIODS.
FOR ME, I WOULD SAY PLEASE PROCEED WITH SOME TYPE OF LEASE OF A FACILITY INSTEAD OF BUILDING SOMETHING THAT WE'RE ON THE HOOK FOR BECAUSE THEY CAN TURN AROUND, SAY WE'RE OUT AND WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTENANCE OR WHATEVER ELSE.
AT LEAST WE CAN ADJUST TO [OVERLAPPING]
>> WE ARE AT THAT POINT NOW WITH OUR CURRENT BUILDING.
WE'RE LOOKING AT ALL OPTIONS BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY COMING DOWN THE PIPE SOME WAY WHETHER IT'S FIXING WHAT WE HAVE OR GOING OUT.
>> WE ARE GOING TO TAKE THESE OTHER CITIES ANIMALS IN? IS THAT WHAT WE'RE THINKING? I KNOW WE SEE THE ACTUAL VOLUME OR AT LEAST THE NUMBERS HERE FOR CLUTE FREEPORT.
MY QUESTION WOULD BE, HOW MANY EMPLOYEES ARE THEY USING TO FACILITATE CLUTE AND HOW MANY FREEPORT IN THAT ONE?
>> THEY'RE USING LAKE JACKSON.
>> THEY'RE USING LAKE JACKSON?
IT ACTUALLY BELONGS TO THE CITY OF LAKE JACKSON.
>> WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO RUN THEIR FACILITY?
>> WELL, WHAT DOES IT COST THEM? WHAT ARE THEY CURRENTLY PAYING OUT OF POCKET? WHAT'S THEIR ANGLE? WHAT DO THEY GAIN? THEIR CONTRACT'S OVER WITH SPCA, SO THEY NEED A PLACE TO RUN THAT?
>> WHAT IS DANBURY'S CURRENT SETUP?
>> THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE COUNTY.
I THINK WHEN YOU SAID COUNTY, THAT'S WHY HE RESPONDED.
THEY'RE ALSO LOOKING AT COST AS WELL BECAUSE DANBURY, THEY DON'T KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THEY COULD ADOPT IT.
POLICE CHIEF TODAY, HE SAID, HE DON'T THINK THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SWING IT FINANCIALLY.
>> FOR FEAR OF BEING CALLED A DOG HATER OR A CAT HATER OR A TOAD HATER. [LAUGHTER]
>> I KNOW, I DIDN'T LIKE IT FOR SOME REASON, HERE IT COMES.
>> BUT IF THEY WERE TAKING CARE OF OUR ANIMALS IN OUR TOWN, IT SEEMED LIKE A COP-OUT FOR THEM TO GO HERE.
WE WANT TO PUSH THAT OFF ON SOMEBODY ELSE.
THAT'S WHICH COMES ACROSS TO ME, AND IT TRIED TO PLAY ON PEOPLE'S FEELINGS.
[00:45:02]
"IF YOU DON'T TAKE THESE ANIMALS IN, YOU'RE A BUNCH OF BAD PEOPLE." WELL, WHY AREN'T YOU TAKING CARE OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN YOUR TOWN? SOMEBODY'S HAD A FALLING OUT HERE BECAUSE OR SOMETHING, BUT [OVERLAPPING] SPCA IS NOT DOING ANYMORE.>> WHY IS SPCA ENDING THEIR CONTRACT?
>> CURRENTLY, I BELIEVE THE SPCA IS GOING TO TAKE OVER OWNERSHIP OF THE BUILDING.
LAKE JACKSON IS ACTUALLY BUILDING THEIR OWN ANIMAL CONTROL FACILITY.
LAKE JACKSON BELONGS TO THE CITY OF LAKE JACKSON.
THE CITY OF LAKE JACKSON IS GOING TO GIVE THAT TO THE SPCA AND BUILD THEIR OWN FACILITY.
>> MY QUESTION IS, WHY DOESN'T SPCA CONTINUE TO DO IT FOR CLUTE AND FREEPORT AND WHO ARE ELSE?
>> YOU HAD THAT ANSWERED, BECAUSE YOU TALKED TO THE CITY MANAGEMENT.
BUT I WOULD JUST VENTURE TO GUESS THAT THEY'RE JUST LOOKING FOR OTHER OPTIONS.
I SEE ADVANTAGES FROM BOTH SIDES.
I SEE YOU'RE ALL TALKING ABOUT LEASING A PLACE.
THE THEORY, WE COULD HAVE FINANCE BUILDING A NICER FACILITY ON SOMEBODY ELSE'S BACKS.
>> IF YOU CAN GET THE CONTRACT.
>> [INAUDIBLE] THAT'S WHAT JOHN WENT INTO THE CONTRACT UNLESS WE CAN GET IT.
[OVERLAPPING] THEY'RE NOT GOING TO JUMP INTO SOMETHING WE CAN'T GET.
>> IT WOULD BE A YEAR BY YEAR.
>> IF THEY IN FACT END UP IN SOME OTHER ARRANGEMENT IN 10 YEARS, WELL, GOOD FOR US BECAUSE WE'VE GAINED MORE SPACE.
NOW OBVIOUSLY, MY CONCERN BECOMES ALMOST A SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY IN THAT WE NEED MORE STAFF AND MORE EMPLOYEES.
IF WE CAN'T DO THAT ADEQUATELY, FIND THE RIGHT HELP, THE RIGHT PEOPLE AT THE RIGHT PRICE, AND WE'VE GOT TO HAVE A FAIR WAGE HERE TOO.
WE'VE GOT TO HAVE A COMPETITIVE WAGE ANYWAY.
THEN I THINK THAT PRESENTS A BIG PROBLEM.
LOT OF THE PEOPLE WHO WORK AT THESE PLACES HAVE BIG HEARTS, AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO DROWN THEM IN THEIR OWN LOVE, ALMOST, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
I KNOW, THAT'S MY BOTH SIDES OF THE COIN IF I SEE IT.
I THINK IT'S WORTH EXPLORING, BUT I THINK WE NEED SOME MORE ANSWERS.
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE FINANCIALLY WILLING TO POUR IN.
[OVERLAPPING] IF THEY'RE WILLING TO ON TOP, NOT JUST HELP US WITH SALARIES, COULD HELP US MAKE AN ACTUAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT, UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE NOT JUST HELP US WITH YOUR SALARIES, HELP US TO EXPAND OUR CURRENT FACILITY AND MAKE IT AN ADEQUATE FACILITY.
IT'S GOT TO BE WHERE THEY HAVE TO INCLUDE IT IN SOME BOND OR WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO WHEREVER THEY FIND THAT MONEY, MOVE IT AROUND TO GIVE US, HEY, WE NEED $250,000, WE NEED A MILLION DOLLARS, WHATEVER IT IS.
OF COURSE, THAT'S IMPORTANT ON US, I THINK TO FIND OUT WHAT WE NEED.
DON'T SELL OUR CITIZENS SHORT BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO ASK FOR THEM TO BRING IT.
I DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH BEING COLLABORATIVE AND BEING SUPPORTIVE, OR NEIGHBORS, TRYING TO HELP YOUR NEIGHBOR WHEN YOU CAN HELP YOUR NEIGHBOR, BUT OUR CITIZENS HAVE IN THE END CAN'T BE THE PEOPLE THAT EAT THE COST, AND SO THAT'S ANY WAY.
>> THAT'S OUR NEXT STEP. AGAIN, WE DIDN'T WANT TO MOVE FORWARD AND ASK THEM FOR COMMITMENTS IF YOU ALL ARE WILLING TO ENTERTAIN THIS.
>> IT'S A REAL SKIN IN THE GAME IF THEY DON'T WANT US TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR PROBLEMS. I DON'T SEE IT DIMINISHING.
I JUST READ THE OTHER DAY, WE WERE FULL UP ON CATS, WE WERE BEGGING PEOPLE TO COME GET SOME CATS.
OVERNIGHT, WE CAN JUST BE COVERED UP, AND IF THERE'S NO LIMIT ON HOW MANY STRAYS THEY CAN BRING TO US, [NOISE] I SEE A LOT OF CONTRACTUAL ISSUES THAT WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF.
>> MAYBE I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE AGREEMENT IS RIGHT NOW WITH THE SPCA AND LAKE JACKSON AND ALL THAT.
MAYBE THAT WOULD BE A STARTING POINT TO SEE WHAT THEY'RE TAKING IN, WHAT'S THEIR BUDGET, WHAT'S THEIR COST?
>> IF THEY'RE BUILDING A NEW FACILITY, WHAT IS THAT CAPACITY, BECAUSE ARE THEY PLANNING TO GET THESE CITIES BACK?
>> I WOULD THINK WE WOULD WANT TO EXTRAPOLATE SOME FIGURE INTO THE FUTURE TOO.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE EXPECTING TO HAVE A GROWTH OF 110 PERCENT, MAYBE A 125 PERCENT AFTER WE'VE ADDED ALL THEIRS WITH US BECAUSE THERE IS ROOM FOR ANGLETON TO CERTAINLY GROW,
[00:50:01]
AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT FREEPORT, I'M SURE HAVE THEIR OWN STRUGGLES, I'M SURE CLUTE'S GROWING TO A CERTAIN EXTENT AND RICHWOOD AND ALL THAT, SO I DON'T KNOW.>> JUST FYI, SO YOU TALKED ABOUT PEARRLAND.
I THINK LAKE JACKSON'S NEW FACILITY IS SOMEWHERE IN THE THREE MILLION DOLLAR, AND DIFFERENT IN SCOPE AND QUALITY AND SOME OF ALL THOSE OTHER THINGS.
AGAIN, SHOULD WE DECIDE TO MOVE FORWARD AND GET THE NUMBERS BACK AND DO SOME EITHER LEASED OR PURCHASE.
WE'LL HAVE TO FIGURE OUT THE NUMBERS AND WHERE WE GO FROM THERE.
>> FOR THE SHORT-TERM, IT'S A LEASE, BUT IF IT'S LONG TERM AND THEY HAVE THE SKIN IN THE GAME, I'M OKAY WITH A CAPITAL PROJECT TO HELP US PAY FOR A NEW BUILDING, BUT THEY HAVE TO BE ON SUN.
>> [INAUDIBLE] IS BETWEEN 15 AND 20 YEARS, IS WHAT THEY'VE BEEN CONTRACTING WITH THE SPCA FOR.
>> THAT'S ABOUT THE LENGTH OF A [INAUDIBLE] IN 20 YEARS.
>> THEN WHERE DO WE PUT THIS FACILITY BECAUSE I JUST DON'T WANT TO PUT IT IN THE MIDDLE OF SOME NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE RIGHT PLACE FOR IT.
IT NEED TO BE PUT OUT SOME PLACE, SOME SEMI REMOTE.
>> YOU DON'T WANT ALL THOSE CASKET AND LOOSE?
>> I HEAR THE DOGS BARKING FROM TIME TO TIME AT MY HOUSE.
>> THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT. WE WANT TO COME TO YOU TO SAY, IF YOU ARE GOING TO SAY NO WE DON'T WANT TO DO THIS OR YES, EXPLORED A LITTLE BIT FARTHER WHAT DO WE NEED TO GET DONE.
>> WE'LL COME BACK WITH THAT ANALYSIS. [OVERLAPPING]
>> I JUST NEED THE FINANCIALS.
>> HOW ARE THEY WANTING TO KNOW BECAUSE IF THEIR CONTRACTS ARE ENDING I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE ALREADY UP WITH CITY OF LAKE JACKSON?
NOT THIS FISCAL, BUT THE END OF THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR THAT WE'RE GOING INTO.
[OVERLAPPING] THAT'S WHEN THE CONTRACT ENDS [OVERLAPPING]
>> LUPE JUST FOR HISTORICAL PURPOSES, DIDN'T ANGLETON USE TO TAKE EVERYONE WHEN SPCA WAS LOCATED JUST A LITTLE NORTH DOWN?
>> THEN IT ALL TRANSFERRED TO LAKE JACKSON WHENEVER THEY PUT THAT FACILITY ON THERE?
>> IT'S BASICALLY JUST GOING BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS, THE EXCEPTIONAL WAY JACKSON [INAUDIBLE]
>> THEY ARE RIGHT THERE ACROSS FROM BEACHWOOD, RIGHT?
>> WHERE THEY RADIO TOWER FOR THE [INAUDIBLE].
>> LET ME ASK YOU TWO THIS, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> IF WE DO IT, MY CONCERNS IS NOT OUR ANIMAL CONTROL.
THAT FACILITY AND TODAY, RIGHT NOW WITH OUR NUMBERS, THE MANPOWER IT TAKES JUST TO KEEP IT CLEAN AND SANITIZED.
THAT'S NOT AN EVERY OTHER DAY DEAL, THAT IS EVERY SINGLE DAY.
THAT'S A PRIORITY AND WE'LL GET INTO THAT DURING OUR BUDGET WORKSHOP.
BUT I CAN SEE THAT THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD THINGS.
I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT IS BECAUSE OF WHAT GOES ON, ON FACEBOOK, WHAT WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY GOING OUT TO SHELTERS AND RESCUES AND PEOPLE ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES.
WHEN YOU START HAVING PEOPLE FLY IN FROM WASHINGTON STATE AND WYOMING AND ALL OVER TO ADOPT THE ANIMALS AND DRIVING HALFWAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
I THINK WE STARTED ON A GOOD RUN AND I WOULD JUST WANT THOSE CONTRACTS TO BE LONG TERMED ENOUGH OR WHATEVER TO WHERE I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT, SO NOBODY ELSE DOES.
WE'RE ALWAYS GOING TO HAVE STAFFING ISSUES. NO MATTER WHAT.
I'M WILLING TO FIGHT THAT BATTLE AS LONG AS WE'RE GETTING COMPENSATED, TO HELP US MOVE FORWARD TO THAT END GOAL AND THAT END GOAL IS HAVING A NICE FACILITY.
ONE THAT IF WE DO PLACE IT NEXT TO THE HIGH END RESIDENTIAL AREA, THEY WON'T HEAR NOTHING BARKING BECAUSE IT'S NOT PUT IN AN OLD BARN THAT'S BEEN TRANSFORMED INTO A SHELTER THAT WE'RE TRYING TO HEAT AND COOL, WHICH IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.
[LAUGHTER] WE'RE ALMOST AT THAT.
WE'RE MAKING DO WITH WHAT AND THEY'RE WORKING HARD.
BUT IT'S ALMOST LIKE I'VE GOT SO MANY IDEAS AND SHE'S GOT
[00:55:02]
SO MANY IDEAS THAT DIFFERENT POSITIONS- WE COULD USE SOMEBODY FULL TIME THAT NEVER WALKED BACK INTO THAT.THEY'RE ON THE COMPUTER, THEY'RE ON THE PHONE, TOUCHING AND CALLING AND E-MAIL AND OTHER RESCUES JUST ON THE ADOPTION SIDE.
I'VE GOT A LOT OF GOOD VISIONS, I'M WILLING TO TRY AS LONG AS WE CAN GET THAT GUARANTEED COMPENSATION ON THESE OTHER HANDS.
AND YES, WORKOUT SOME OF THESE FINE DETAILS ON THE LEGALITY STUFF, DOG BITES, NEGLECT CASES BECAUSE I KNOW WE HAVE OUR PROCEDURES NOW ON NEGLECT CASES, WE'RE NOT GOING TO KEEP AN ANIMAL FOR A YEAR OR SO AND WAIT FOR TRIAL.
WE MOVE FORWARD ON THE CIVIL LANE QUICKLY SO WE CAN GET A DISPOSITION FOR THE ANIMAL AND MOVE ON, SO YES, THERE'S A LOT TO WORK OUT AND I THINK WE CAN DO IT.
>> I AGREE WITH THE ASSISTANT CHIEF.
IF IT'S FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE FOR US TO GET AT BETTER FACILITY FOR THE ANIMALS AND HAVE THAT FACILITY FOR THE CITIZENS OF ANGLETON, MAYBE SOMEBODY ELSE PAID FOR THAT FACILITY INSTEAD OF IT BEING A BURDEN ON THEM.
IT'S GOING TO BENEFIT US, BUT WE NEED TO GET THOSE FINANCIAL, WE NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT THE CONTRACTS GIVE WITH DUE TO, WHATEVER WE NEED TO DO BUT I THINK TONIGHT WE JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHETHER YOU'RE GOING TO SAY [OVERLAPPING] YES OR NO.
>> WELL, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU GUYS FEEL LIKE- OBVIOUSLY YOU SIT IN THE CAPTAIN'S CHAIRS, CHIEFS CHAIRS RIGHT NOW PRESENTLY AND IF YOU ALL DON'T THINK IT, I MEAN, LOOK AT US IN THE EYE AND YOU REALLY DON'T THINK IT'S IN OUR BEST INTERESTS, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO HEAR THAT FEEDBACK FROM YOU-ALL.
>> CALCIUM BOOST STATE, IF WE'RE COMPENSATED CORRECTLY, I DON'T WANT TO BASICALLY JUST BREAK EVEN THAT YEAR BECAUSE WE'RE TAKING ON ALL THIS.
I WON'T TO BE ABLE TO COMPENSATE OUR PEOPLE FOR THAT.
YES, WE'RE TAKING THIS [NOISE] HOME.
WE'VE GOT A LOT MORE SKIN IN THE GAME THAT ANY OF THESE OTHER CITIES I THINK THAT WE NEED TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THAT. [LAUGHTER].
>> THAT'S ALL IT FAIR. [OVERLAPPING] THEY DON'T WANT TO PONY UP AND PUT UP ANIMAL SHELTER IN.
>> THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAVE MONEY TOO.
I'M SURE THAT'S WHY THEY'VE ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
THEY'RE NOT HAVING TO PAY AGAIN FOR A FACILITY, THEY'RE NOT- YOU TALKED ABOUT IMPOSSIBLE TO HEAT AND COOL AND I'M SURE EVERY OTHER THING THAT COMES ALONG WITH IT, KEEPING THESE THINGS FROM BREAKERS FLIP INTO WATER TO EVERYTHING ELSE.
BUT [OVERLAPPING] I JUST WANTED TO LOOK AT Y 'ALL AND I REALLY DIDN'T BELIEVE THIS WAS IN OUR BEST INTERESTS.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT WE HEAR THIS OR IF YOU DON'T THINK YOU CAN TAKE THIS ON YOUR OWN THEN THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO HEAR THIS DIRECTLY FROM Y 'ALL.
>> I WANT YOU TO TELL ME THAT YOU'RE NOT FEEL LIKE YOU'RE GETTING A MILLSTONE HUNG AROUND YOUR NECK BY DOING THIS.
IF YOU HAVE A HEART FOR DOING THIS, IT'S FINE.
>> WE'RE AT THAT POINT WE'RE FIXING THEM AND I HAD TO DO SOMETHING.
WE WILL TRY AND WE'RE GOING TO PUSH THROUGH WITH WHAT WE HAVE AS LONG AS WE HAVE TO.
I MEAN, I HAD A GUY GO IN AND HAD TO REBUILD SOME OF THE RAFTER PARTS BECAUSE IT'S RUSTED THROUGH ON BOTTOM AND THAT WAS JUST AS FOR STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY.
THERE'S A LOT OF ISSUES AND I'M SURE YOU'RE ALL AWARE OF THEM BUT SOONER OR LATER, AND THIS CITY IS GROWING.
THIS IS OUR INTAKE, KNOCK EVERYBODY ELSE'S OFF.
THE CITY OF ANGLETON'S INTAKE IS FIXING A SKYROCKET JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE.
WITH ROOFTOPS COMES MORE AND I JUST HOPEFULLY SUPPORT OPTIONS FOR AWHILE ESPECIALLY.
BUT I HAVE A FEELING THOSE NUMBERS.
THOSE WERE ALL NUMBERS ARE GOING TO JUMP.
HOW FAR OUT ARE WE BEFORE WE HAVE TO PULL THE TRIGGER ON THAT NEW FACILITY OR SOMETHING MORE THAN WHAT WE HAVE.
>> MAYBE IN YOUR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT YOU CAN ALSO SAY YOU HAVE TO ADAPT 15 CATS.
>> THAT'S THINKING AS [INAUDIBLE].
>> WHERE WERE YOU ABOUT 30 MINUTES BEFORE WE DROPPED THAT DEVELOPMENTS GOING ON. [LAUGHTER].
>> HE'S A NICE GUY. SIMPLY PUT IF THE STATUTE FOR YOU, YOU'D THINK THAT HE DID[LAUGHTER]
>>MR. RICHARD WRIGHT AND GET RID OF 500 OF THEM FOR US.
>> I THINK I HAVE DIRECTION FROM THE CITY COUNCIL TO BRING BACK
[01:00:01]
SOME LEGITIMATE PROPOSALS WITH ANALYSIS FROM THE STAFF ON IF THIS CAN WORK OR NOT?>> I THINK TO GO ONE STEP FARTHER IF I'M READING, I THINK WE'D LIKE TO LOOK AT THE ACTUAL NUMBERS THOUGH, AS MUCH AS WE CAN GET OUR HANDS ON IT.
NOT JUST WHAT DO YOU THINK IT'S DOABLE.
I THINK IF WE CAN FEEL COMFORTABLE.
>> MY POINT IS THAT FOR THOSE CITIES TO COMMIT AND SAY, THIS IS WHAT WE PROVIDE FOR FUNDING AND THEN WE DO THE ANALYSIS AND SAY, WE NEED FOUR MORE PEOPLE AND WE CAN AFFORD A FACILITY THAT'S X, WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR A WIDE CAPACITY.
>> I WOULD EVEN LOOK INTO AND DO AN INTERIM LEASING A FACILITY LIKE JOHN, IF WE HAVE TO BUILD TIME, IF WE AREN'T GOING TO DO A FACILITY, THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN OVERNIGHT, SO DO AN INTERMEDIATE BUILDING.
BECAUSE LIKE YOU SAID, OUR FACILITY IS NOT IN GREAT SHAPE, SO I THINK IF WE ARE GOING TO COMMIT TO [NOISE] THESE CONTRACTS, IF WE CAN AFFORD TO LEASE ANOTHER BUILDING IN THE INTERIM WHILE THE OTHER ONES BUILT, I THINK THAT'S A IT'S AN OPTION TO LOOK AT AS WELL.
>> WELL, LET THE GUYS TALK AND THEN I ALWAYS COME AT THE END.
I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU-ALL DOING, BEING A VISIONARY.
I APPRECIATE THAT FROM YOU GUYS.
I'M ALSO PROUD TO SAY THAT OTHER CITIES HAVE REACHED OUT TO US BECAUSE OF THE GREAT THINGS GOING ON AT OUR SHELTER THAT PEOPLE WANT THEIR ANIMALS TO HAVE THAT SAME EXPERIENCE, IF YOU WILL.
[BACKGROUND] I APPLAUD THAT THE OTHER CITIES HAVE LOOKED AND HAD ALL THE SAME QUESTIONS THESE GENTLEMEN HAD.
COST, LOCATION, WHAT'S THEIR DOG IN THE HUNT, SO TO SPEAK, NO PUN INTENDED, BUT WHAT DO THEY GET OUT OF IT? BUT THEN I ALSO LOOK AT, THERE'S STILL SOME OTHER THINGS TOO, WE DIDN'T MENTION THAT.
SHE'S ALWAYS LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS.
NOW, WE MAY BE ABLE TO TAP INTO A MARKET OF POTENTIAL VOLUNTEERS WHERE THEY DIDN'T HAVE A PROGRAM TO DO THINGS.
BECAUSE THERE'S ANIMAL LOVERS IN EVERY CITY.
THEY MAY NOT HAVE SOMEWHERE TO GO, NOW YOU MAY HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL VOLUNTEERS FROM THE CITIES OF, AND PART OF THE AGREEMENT MAY SAY, YOU'LL GOT TO DO ACTIVE CAMPAIGNS FOR US, WITH US.
LET'S PARTNER TOGETHER WITH YOUR RESIDENTS AND CITIZENS, OUR SHELTERS TAKING CARE OF YOUR ANIMALS, SINCE THE FOLKS ARE AWAY.
WE GET THAT OTHER DEAL AND THEN BEING REGIONAL, WHO KNOWS YOUR EXPOSURE? WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN? MORE RESCUES, BIGGER RESCUES, ONCE THE WORD OF MOUTH GETS OUT.
I APPRECIATE THAT. I'M WITH YOU GUYS.
MORE NUMBERS, MORE FACTS, MORE DATA, I'M VERY OPEN TO IT.
IF WE CAN PARTNER LIKE COUNCILMAN THOMPSON SAID, IF WE CAN HELP PARTNER WITH ANOTHER COMMUNITY BECAUSE WE CAN AND DO SOMETHING BETTER SERVICE FOR EVERYBODY AND IT'S MORE ECONOMICAL FOR STILL EVERYBODY, BUT YEAH, I WANT TO SEE US GET THE BIGGER EDGE OF THE PIE.
I'M REALLY ALL FOR IT. ALL RIGHT, GO AHEAD, SIR.
>> HAVE WE EXPLORED WORKING WITH ANIMALS [INAUDIBLE]?
>> I'VE SPOKEN TO ONE OTHER ADMINISTRATORS, EVEN WORKING WITH [NOISE] THEIR FFA AND STUFF AS FAR AS HAVING THEM COME IN AND HELP TAKE CARE OF THE ANIMALS, LEARN TO DO THE VACCINATIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
BUT, I'VE REACHED OUT TO THEM A COUPLE OF TIMES AND HAVEN'T EVER [OVERLAPPING] COME BACK WITH ANYTHING.
>> I WAS JUST CURIOUS. WE USED TO CALL THE CO-WORK WHERE YOU WORKED AND YOU WENT TO SCHOOL, THAT SORT OF THING [OVERLAPPING].
>> CO-OP, OR I KNOW THEY ARE STARTING THE CTE CENTER.
JUST SEEMS LIKE MAYBE IT MIGHT BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE.
PEOPLE WOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY, MAYBE HIGH-SCHOOL STUDENTS TO EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITY TO GET INTO THE PET TECHNICIAN, MAYBE WHETHER IT'S BECOME A VETERINARIAN OR AT LEAST TO LIKE I SAID, SOME SORT OF VET TECH OR SOMETHING.
>> WE ALSO TALKED TO DR. BECKER ABOUT MENTORING.
WHEN SHE COMES OVER THERE, SHE'S JUST BEEN SO BUSY. [OVERLAPPING].
>> SHE'S GREAT AND SHE WAS HONORED AND WE THANK HER FOR HER SERVICE.
>> WE'VE LOOKED AT THAT TOO AND WE CONTINUE TO LOOK AT IT.
AS FAR AS HIGH SCHOOL KIDS, YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE LIABILITIES [OVERLAPPING] SHOULD GET BID OR THINGS LIKE THAT.
>> ANYMORE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON NUMBER 8? HEARING NONE, WE'LL MOVE ON TO NUMBER 9.
THANK YOU, GUYS. THANK YOU, MA'AM.
ITEM NUMBER 9, DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION TO AWARD A CONTRACT TO DN TANKS,
[9. Discussion and possible action to award a contract to DN Tanks, LLC for the Chenango GST replacement, in the amount of $2,418,753 and authorized the City Manager to execute the agreement upon legal review.]
LLC FOR THE CHENANGO GROUND STORAGE TANK REPLACEMENT, IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,418,753, AND AUTHORIZED THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT UPON LEGAL REVIEW. MR. JOHN?ON MAY 25TH, 2022, THE CITY OF ANGLETON,
[01:05:03]
WENT AND DID A BID OPENING FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE MILLION GALLON CONCRETE GROUND STORAGE TANK OVER AT THE CHENANGO WATER PLANT.THIS IS WHAT WE WERE EXPECTING.
THERE'S ONLY TWO BIDDERS THAT WERE GOING TO BID ON IT.
WE GOT BOTH OF THEM TO COME IN.
NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO.
DN TANKS, WHO HAS A GREAT REPUTATION WAS A LOW BIDDER FOR 2.416735.
THAT COMES IN BELOW WHAT OUR ESTIMATE WAS.
WE DID BRING IT IN UNDER BUDGET.
[NOISE] THEY WERE VERY COMPLIMENTARY OF THE PROCESS THAT THE CITY OF ANGLETON DID BY KEEPING THEM AND THE OTHER BIDDERS INFORMED AS WE WENT ALONG THROUGH, SO THEY KNEW WHAT WAS COMING UP.
NUMBERS DID NOT CHANGE THE ORDER OF WHICH WE RECEIVED THEM.
WE CONTACTED MANY OF THE REFERENCES AND OF COURSE, BECAUSE WE KNEW THAT WOULD BE THE REFERENCES CAME BACK GREAT.
WITH THAT, WE RECOMMEND THAT THE CITY OF ANGLETON AWARD DN TANKS FOR A TOTAL OF $2,418,753.
>> GO AHEAD, CHRIS. REMEMBER WE BONDED FOR JUST ABOUT THAT AMOUNT.
THIS IS PRETTY CLOSE TO THE BOTTOM OUT AND WE'VE GOT ARP FUNDS.
BUT, ARP NUMBER 2 THAT WE CAN APPLY TO THIS ALSO.
>> I SHOW THE BUDGET AMOUNT 2,640,000.
SO HOW MUCH SHOULD WE BOND? CAN WE BOND THE 2.6, WHERE IT'S NEEDED.
THAT'S WHAT'S ON THE COVER PAGE.
>> I WOULD HAVE TO DOUBLE-CHECK ON THAT BOND AMOUNT FOR [INAUDIBLE]
>> I RECALL IT WAS 2.4 AND I SEEM TO REMEMBER THINKING ABOUT 600,000 AND WE'D TALKED ABOUT FROM ARP, THAT'S ALL.
>> BECAUSE I WOULD SAY MANY GOT, HERE'S $221,000 SAVINGS AND I WAS THINKING, GREAT, WE FIXED MORE WATER LINES OR SOMETHING.
>> WE OWE YOU A BETTER ANSWER.
>> WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 2.4 FOR THE CONTRACT.
DO YOU THINK WE'VE BONDED OUT APPROXIMATELY 2.4 THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT PULLING IN THAT ARP?
>> WELL, SO ORIGINALLY WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THIS, IT WAS GOING TO BE ABOUT $3 MILLION.
BUT JOHN'S TOLD ME WE'RE ALL IN AT THE 2.4 MILLION.
[NOISE] THERE SHOULD BE REALLY NO, UNLESS THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE DISCOVER DURING THIS PROCESS, THERE SHOULD REALLY BE NO CHANGE ORDERS THAT INCREASE IT.
AGAIN, I SEEM TO RECALL THAT WERE UNDER WHAT WE ORIGINALLY HAD. IS THAT CORRECT?
>> THAT IS CORRECT. AS WE WERE TALKING AROUND 3 MILLION.
NOW, REMEMBER THIS IS JUST FOR THE WATER TANK.
WE'RE NOT DOING A NEW BOOSTER PUMP BUILDING OR BOOSTER PUMPS.
THAT WOULD BE DONE IN A DIFFERENT PROJECT BECAUSE OF DIRECTION THAT WAS GIVEN.
THIS IS JUST A NEW CONCRETE GST THAT WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY REPAIR ORDER FROM TCEQ.
>> I THINK ORIGINALLY THAT WAS PART OF THE SCOPE AND WE TOOK THAT OUT KNOWING THAT WE CAN REPLACE PUMPS ANYTIME.
THERE'S NO NECESSARY REQUIREMENT TO MOVE THE PUMPS IN THE PUMP STATION AND THOSE THINGS, AGAIN, CAN BE DONE IN A SIP THAT ARE FURTHER UNDER CITY PROJECT.
>> [NOISE] JOHN I NOTICED IF YOU'VE GOT SOME FLUFF FACTORED [NOISE] INTO IT, YOU INJECT AN ADDITIONAL $50,000 CONTINGENCY MONEY AND THAT'S A WISE THING TO DO.
I WAS REALLY QUITE SHOCKED AT HOW CLOSE THEY CAME.
THERE ARE LESS THAN FOUR PERCENT APART ON THIS PROJECT.
>> WE WORKED WITH BOTH OF THEM THROUGH THE DESIGN, BECAUSE IT'S SO UNIQUE THAT THEY KNEW THE PROJECT IN AND OUT, EVERYBODY DID.
>> COUNCIL, WHAT'S THE CONTRACT TIME ON THIS PROJECT?
>> THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE DAYS.
>> THEN YOU DO HAVE SOME SUPPLEMENTARY ITEMS THAT MAY PRODUCE SOME LINE ITEM, THAT'S A MINIMAL AMOUNT OF MONEY? > YES SIR.
[01:10:07]
WE AWARD THE CONTRACT TO DN TANKS, LLC, IN AMOUNT OF $2,418,753, FOR THE CHENANGO GROUND STORAGE TANK REPLACEMENT.>> MOTION BY COUNCILMAN BRUCE, SECOND BY MAYOR [INAUDIBLE] ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION?
>> YEAH. IT MAY SPECIFICALLY MIND MY MOTION.
I TOOK OUT THIS NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT.
I DON'T WANT IT TO GO BACK AND FIGHT THIS NOT TO EXCEED STUFF.
WE MAY HAVE TO HAVE A $10,000 CHANGE ORDER OR SOMETHING, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT STAFF COULD TAKE CARE OF.
>> WHEN CAN I ANTICIPATE THAT CONTRACT COMING?
>> THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS, I CAN GIVE YOU A COPY OF IT RIGHT NOW, OR TOMORROW.
YOU DON'T NEED IT TO BE EXECUTED TO REVIEW. I'M ASSUMING?
>> YEAH. I NEED DEFINITELY NEED TO REVIEW IT BEFORE THE EXECUTION.
>> MAY I REQUEST AND AUTHORIZE CITY MANAGERS TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT [INAUDIBLE] REVIEW? WILL YOU AMEND YOUR MOTION?
>> I AMEND MY MOTION TO THAT. YES.
>> NOW LET'S GET IT GOING. WE DON'T NEED TO BRING THAT BACK TO COUNCIL. GO AHEAD AND GET IT GOING.
>> ANYMORE QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? HEARING NONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
>> ALL THOSE OPPOSED SAY THE SIGN.
THAT MOTION CARRIES. GO BUILD US A TANK.
>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK, JOHN.
>> [OVERLAPPING] NUMBER 10 DISCUSSION.
[10. Discussion and possible action on the purchase of a new motor and installation for Engine 2 versus replacement.]
>> DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION ON PURCHASE OF A NEW MOTOR AND INSTALLATION FOR ENGINE 2 VERSUS REPLACEMENTS.
WE HAVE CAPTAIN CARL GINGRICH [NOISE] HERE TONIGHT TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND THEN I GOT A LITTLE BRIEF EARLIER TOO, SO I HOPE BETWEEN THE TWO OF US WE CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. GO AHEAD, CARL.
>> GOOD EVENING. SO EARLIER THIS YEAR, CHIEF MYERS REQUESTED THAT WE PUT A TRUCK COMMITTEE TOGETHER, JUST LIKE WE DID BACK WHEN WE PURCHASED ENGINE 4, TO LOOK AT REPLACING OUR ENGINE 2 WHICH IS A 2009 PUMPER.
A FEW YEARS AGO, WE HAD SOME SEVERE ISSUES WITH THIS PARTICULAR TRUCK WHERE THE ENGINE FAILED AND HAD TO BE REBUILT.
IT WAS A NIGHTMARE GETTING PARTS, SO WE LOOKED AT REPLACING THIS PARTICULAR TRUCK BEFORE WE ENDED UP WITH MORE ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE AND THINGS OF THAT SORT.
THE TRUCK COMMITTEE GOT TOGETHER, PULLED QUOTES ON PURCHASING ANOTHER ENGINE JUST LIKE OUR ENGINE 4.
WE WERE QUITE SURPRISED WHEN THE QUOTES CAME BACK ABOUT A YEAR LATER AT $100-150,000 MORE FOR THAT TRUCK.
TAKING SOME ADVICE FROM A COUNCIL MEMBER TO LOOK AT OTHER DIRECTIONS, WE DECIDED, WELL, WHAT WOULD IT COST US TO PUT A BRAND NEW ENGINE, DO A CUMMINS L9 ENGINE INTO THIS TRUCK AND KEEP IT.
THE TRUCK'S ONLY 12, 13 YEARS OLD, 34,000 MILES.
IT'S GOT A LOT OF MILES LEFT ON THE TRUCK ITSELF, HOWEVER, THE ENGINE'S NOT GREAT.
IF WE TURN AROUND AND REPLACE THE ENGINE, [NOISE] WE'RE LOOKING AT SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $53,400 TO DO AN ENGINE SWAP WITH A BRAND NEW CUMMINS ENGINE AND POSSIBLY GET 10-15 YEARS BACK OUT OF THIS TRUCK.
THAT, TO US, IS BEING GOOD STEWARDS OF TAXPAYERS' MONEY.
SEEMED LIKE A BETTER OPTION THAN PAYING 819,000 AND THAT'S WHAT APRIL'S PRICE WAS, TODAY IT COULD BE CLOSER TO 900,000, I'M NOT SURE, ON PURCHASING A NEW ENGINE TO REPLACE THAT COMPLETELY WHEN IT DOES STILL HAVE LIFE LEFT IN IT.
>> ANOTHER THING THAT SCOTTY SAID WAS AND IF YOU-ALL REMEMBER WHEN HE WAS HERE AT BUDGET TIME, A LOT OF MAINTENANCE HAS GONE INTO THAT TRUCK TO THE EQUIVALENCY BETWEEN $30-40,000 ALREADY.
IT'S COSTING THE CITY SOME MONEY TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD.
JUST TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW TOO, WE DO THIS WITH AMBULANCES ALL THE TIME.
THE BOX IS IN GREAT SHAPE, IT'S THE MOTOR THAT GET SHOT.
THEY DO A RE-MAP, BASICALLY, PULL THE BOX OFF AND JUST PUT IT ON A NEW CABIN CHASSIS.
THIS IS CLOSE TO THAT, WE'RE JUST BASICALLY REMOUNTING A NEW MOTOR AND EXTENDING THE LIFE OF THE REST OF THE TRUCK.
JUST LIKE CARL SAID, IT'S GOT PROBABLY EIGHT OR 10 MORE YEARS OF LIFE ON THE REST OF IT.
IT'S JUST THE MOTOR'S HAVING A LOT OF ISSUES WITH IT.
>> THAT'S CORRECT. WE DID SOME FURTHER RESEARCH ON THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE AND PIERCE, WHO IS THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TRUCK WE'RE LOOKING TO REPLACE, HAS DONE AT LEAST FOUR OF THESE ENGINE SWAPS FOR OTHER AGENCIES AND THOSE AGENCIES HAVE BEEN THRILLED WITH IT.
[01:15:04]
>> THE MARKET'S PRETTY CRAZY RIGHT NOW WITH BOTH FIRE TRUCKS AND ENGINES AND ALL THAT, THAT UNLESS YOU PUT THE CASH DOWN AND GO PROCURE IT, YOU'RE NOT GUARANTEED THAT PRICE.
LIKE IN A TRUCK, YOU CAN ORDER THE TRUCK, BUT YOU'RE NOT GUARANTEED THAT PRICE COME A YEAR FROM NOW.
>> THEY FOUND THE ENGINE AND SO AGAIN, WE CAN WAIT, BUT WE'RE NOT GUARANTEED THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET THAT ENGINE AND WHEN THE NEXT ONE'S GOING TO BE AVAILABLE.
>> YOU FOUND THIS CUMMINS ENGINE IS IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE?
>> FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, YES, SIR.
SIDDONS-MARTIN, WHO WE PURCHASED THE PIERCE APPARATUS FROM, WILL BE THE ONES DOING THE INSTALL.
THEY'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE TRUCK, SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO TO JUST A SHOP HERE LOCALLY, WHICH WE WOULD LOVE TO DO, BUT WE WANT THE EXPERTS ON THIS PARTICULAR TYPE OF TRUCK.
>> WHERE WOULD THAT BE DONE AT?
>> YEAH. THE TRUCK'S OPERATIONAL, IT JUST, AT THIS POINT, THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE, AFTER THAT REBUILD, AND WE HAD TO WAIT THREE OR FOUR MONTHS FOR PARTS ON IT, WE JUST USE IT SPARINGLY.
IF IT'S APPROVED TO GO AHEAD AND SPEND THIS MONEY TO DO IT, WE'LL START TOMORROW WORKING ON THE PROCESS OF GETTING IT OVER THERE TO THEM AND GETTING IT GOING.
>> DID YOU SAY YOU THINK THAT IT WOULD EXPAND THE LIFE FOR 9-10 YEARS?
>> IS THAT JUST BEST HOPE OR THAT'S A CONSERVATIVE? WHAT DO WE THINK?
BUT TYPICALLY, A BIG CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT GETS ABOUT 10-12 YEARS OUT OF AN ENGINE.
HERE IN ANGLETON, WE'VE GOT AN ENGINE OVER THERE THAT'S A 2002 MODEL AND IT STILL RUNS AND PUMPS WELL, JUST GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO FIND PARTS FOR IT.
BY UPDATING THIS ENGINE AND THE MOTOR IN THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE, THAT WILL ALLOW US TO GET THE NEWER PARTS FOR IT BECAUSE IT'S A NEWER MOTOR AND THE CALL VOLUME THAT WE HAVE, WE REALISTICALLY COULD GET 10, 12, MAYBE EVEN 15 YEARS OUT OF IT.
>> TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, YOU'RE GOING TO ASK IS HOW IS THIS FUNDED? [LAUGHTER]
>> SOME BIG ZERO AND A BUDGETED AMOUNT.
>> YEAH. REMEMBER, WE HAD A LOAN THAT WE PAID OFF EARLY, SO WE'RE STILL GETTING FUNDS FROM THE ESD.
IT'LL TAKE A PORTION OF THAT AND THEN THAT FUNDS WILL THEN GO INTO A RESERVE FOR THE NEXT ENGINE.
INSTEAD OF PAYING ON A CURRENT VEHICLE, THAT MONEY GETS STUCK IN THE BANK, SO THAT WHEN WE GO FOR THAT NEXT TRUCK OR A BRUSH TRUCK OR WHATEVER IT IS, WE'LL HAVE ACCUMULATED FROM ESD FUNDS A DOWN PAYMENT TO DO THAT.
>> WE'RE DOING THIS INSTEAD OF DOING A COMPLETE UNIT ENGINE SWAP.
DOES THAT MOVE UP YOUR POSSIBLE SCHEDULE FOR GETTING NEWER TRUCKS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT?
>> BASICALLY AND I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE CHIEFS ON WHAT THEY'RE THINKING, BUT AS BEING PART OF THE TRUCK COMMITTEE, IT'S LIKE TAKING A BRIEF PAUSE AND THEN TAKE A LOOK AT OUR OTHER TRUCKS THAT ARE NON-PUMPERS, LIKE OUR RESCUE TRUCK AND OUR TANKER, WHICH ARE STARTING TO AGE THEMSELVES AND SEE IF FINANCIALLY, FOR THE CITY AND THE DEPARTMENT, IT WOULD BE BETTER TO DO THIS TRUCK, DO THIS ENGINE SWAP AND THEN THOSE FUNDS, WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR OR TWO, LOOK AT REPLACING ONE OF THOSE UNITS MORE SO THAN GETTING ANOTHER ENGINE.
BECAUSE WE'VE GOT QUITE A FEW, WE'RE BLESSED WITH THE LADDER TRUCKS AND THE AERIALS WE HAVE, SO WE AS A DEPARTMENT, THINK IT'S MORE BENEFICIAL FINANCIALLY TO SWAP THE ENGINE IN THIS PARTICULAR UNIT.
>> BUT YES, THERE WAS A REPLACEMENT PROGRAM FOR A PUMPER REAL QUICK, NEXT YEAR OR TWO, BUT NOW THIS DOES ALTER THAT PLAN, LIKE CAPTAIN GINGRICH SAID, IT MAY LOOK AT OTHER TRUCKS THAT ARE AGING THAT NOW BUMP UP AS A PRIORITY.
>> MR. MAYOR, I MOVE THAT WE MOVE FORWARD, ALLOWING THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO PURCHASE A NEW MOTOR AND INSTALLATION FOR ENGINE 2 USING THE FUNDS FROM ESD.
>> YOU HAVE A MOTION TO HAVE A SECOND?
>> MOTION BY MAYOR PERDOMO, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE,
[01:20:02]
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.>> ALL OF THOSE OPPOSED SAY SIGN. MOTION CARRIES.
>> THAT CONCLUDES ALL OF OUR REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS AND THE SUN IS STILL UP.
[LAUGHTER] WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CONTINUE ON TO EXECUTIVE SESSION.
