OF COURSE WE'RE TRYING TO BRING TO A CLOSE. BUDGET FOR 23 24. CAN WE PUT THAT WE WILL HAVE A HEARING? ONE ITEM OF HOUSEKEEPING BEFORE WE GET STARTED HAS BEEN NOTED. IT GOES WITH ITEMS CAKE FOR THE AGENDA. IS IT CONSISTENT WITH THE RESOLUTION? SO RECOMMENDED AND I ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATION, OKAY? BY LATER TIME. MERAH. MARK. IT'S ACTUALLY KIND OF IN LINE. LEGAL . IT'S THE LANGUAGE, THE LANGUAGE, CONSISTENT. THINK WE HAVE TO TURN TO OUR CITY ATTORNEY SAY SO OR NO, GO ON IT. IT'S A TECHNICALITY. WE UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS.
AND WHAT IT MEANS. BUT THE TECHNICALITY OF THE LANGUAGE BEING CONSISTENT. MR CITY ATTORNEY. IF YOU HAVE AN OPINION ON THAT YES, WITH REGARD TO THE HEALTH AND HEALING TO READ THE AGREEMENT THAT THE AGREEMENT SEEMED TO BE OVERLAPPING ONE ANOTHER, AND I ASSUME THAT THIS IS FROM COUNTY. K. REALLY, UH, ENCOMPASSING AND SWALLOWS DOWN, RIGHT? I THINK WE OH, OKAY, GOOD. I'M SORRY. I KNOW YOU GUYS REPEAT YOUR LAST I SAID, I THINK A ABSORBS L. BECAUSE THE AGREEMENT K HAS ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES AS WELL AS FOOD INSPECTION SERVICES. POSSIBLE MOSQUITO. L. GOODBYE LETTERS, RIGHT? NO, IT'S JUST ENCOMPASSES MOSQUITOES. AND SO THE COUNTY HAS SEVERAL AGREEMENTS WITH A NUMBER OF MUNICIPALITIES IN DALLAS COUNTY, JUST FROM MOSQUITO CONTROL WITHOUT HELP. RESEARCH PART SO I THINK THAT OUR COUNTY PROCUREMENT DEPARTMENT. PROBABLY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET BOTH. SO IN ORDER TO TRY TO CLOSE, MAKE SURE THERE'S NO LOOPHOLES. WE JUST DO. WE DON'T NEED. I WOULD GO AHEAD AND AUTHORIZED THIS SOLDIER TAKE EFFECT BACKBONE. A LITTLE BIT AHEAD, BUT, UM YOU SAID. WE UNDERSTAND. WHO TOLD ME A WEEK PROBABLY BY. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO PULL IT PULL BOTH OF THEM. FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION SO WE CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION. CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION HERE AS WELL. THE MORE LIKELY THAN THAT, BECAUSE THOSE DIDN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME, AND I'M JUST ONE PERSON, BUT I THINK THERE'S OTHERS THAT WOULD LIKE TO HAVE FOR DISCUSSION SPEECH. WE'RE SAYING OKAY, GOOD. WHAT. SO I WOULD SAY WHEN I WENT LOOKED AT IT. THERE IS WITHIN THE L IS ACTUALLY PRETTY AERIAL SPRAYING. YEAH AND THAT'S A SEPARATE ITEM NOW. DARK JOHN GREEN WITH WHAT EVERYBODY'S SAYING YET CONFUSING. SEEMS LIKE YOU WOULD HAVE BOTH OF THEM. YOU KNOW, THE MOSQUITO, BACON GROUND AND AERIAL. DANIELLE. HIS CASE AND JUST BE HELPFUL. THIS STUFF IS BACK FROM THE FEW YEARS BACK. WE HAD A SERIOUS WEST NILE PROBLEM AND SO THE COUNTY DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT FOR SEVERAL AERIAL SPRAYING BECAUSE SOME CITIES DIDN'T WANT AERIAL SPRAY. SOME CITIES DID. WE DID. SO WE HAD THAT L AGREEMENT. SO WHAT'S HAPPENED IN THE COUNTY IS THEY'RE SAYING WELL, WE GOT THIS BOX AND NOW YOU NEED ENVIRONMENTAL L SERVICES. SO WE'RE GONNA SEND BOTH TEXT. AND SO IT'S. IT'S I THINK, CONFUSION THERE IN SOME, SOME THINKING THERE ARE WE'VE ALWAYS HAD OUR OWN SEPARATE HEALTH. I RECALL IT DEADLINE PRESIDING DEADLINE.

[00:05:07]
THERE'S TWO AGREEMENTS. ITEM. QUE QUESTION. IS THERE A DEADLINE ON SIGNING THESE AGREEMENTS? YES YES, SIGNED TONIGHT. WE DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE A HEALTH INSPECTOR. AND SO THIS WOULD FILL IN THE GAP FOR HEALTH INSPECTORS TABLE THESE THINGS UNTIL THE NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING CLEAR OF ALL THIS CONFUSION. WHAT'S WRONG? I'D HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS AND THAT AND SO ON TECHNICALITIES OF IT. IF YOU'RE GONNA CHANCES SINCE BEEN SO HOT, DRY. PRIVATE CHANCES OF AERIAL SPRAYING AND PROBABLY MINIMAL SO I WOULD RECOMMEND CARE AND THEN WE NEED TO HELP, INSPECTOR WE DON'T HAVE . IF I MAY IF I COULD SHOW YOU HELP MAKE IT VERY CLEAR OUT EVERYTHING. EVERYBODY WAIT A MINUTE. IF YOU CAN DO THAT, LET'S GET LET'S GET ON WITH, OKAY. LET'S GET ON WITH THE BUSINESS, SO I CAN SAY IN A BRIEF DESCRIPTION, BUT IT'S ILLUSTRATED THAT ITEM K IS HEALTH INSPECTION SERVICES AND AS A SEPARATE, UH, ADJUNCT TO ITEM K, THE COUNTY'S OFFERING TO BE ABLE TO GET INTO AN AERIAL PROGRAM MEETING. FLYOVER AERIAL PROGRAM. L IS SPECIFICALLY FOR GROUND CONTROL AND ONLY GROUND CONTROL. THE COUNTY GAVE US THESE CONTRACTS AS IS AND WE SIMILAR HIM AS IS THE CONTRACTS SPECIFIED. HELP INSPECTION SERVICES ON ITEM K WITH THE ABILITY TO OPT INTO A SEPARATE FLYOVER AERIAL SERVICES FOR MAJOR. MOSQUITO PROBLEMS, BUT IT'S ONLY IF WE OPT INTO IT AND IT'S ON A PROPORTIONAL BASIS. UM L IS FOR MOSQUITO GROUND CONTROL, WHICH ALREADY DUNKS AND THE TABLETS ARE GOING TO GROUND WAR. I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS GOING AHEAD BECAUSE WHAT THE ATTORNEY SAID. THE URGENCY OF THE HEALTH INSPECTOR. BUT I STILL WOULD LIKE TO PULL THE ITEM. SO WE CAN HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSIONS. NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. I'M JUST ALRIGHT, SO. TERMS OF WHAT'S WRITTEN ON THE AGENDA.

I WANT TO APPLAUD YOU. ALSO FOR MAKING THE TOUGH DECISION TO RECENTLY REPLACED THE PERSON IN A POSITION OF AUTHORITY FOR GOOD REASON. AND THERE'S A REASON WHY YOU BRING THIS UP.

GIVEN MY RECENT SET OF EXPERIENCES WITH VARIOUS CITY MANAGEMENT LEADERS, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONTINUE THIS MANNER OF OVERSIGHT WITH PERSONS ANOTHER POSITIONS. ALSO IN OTHER WORDS, VERY CLOSE OVERSIGHTS. PERHAPS IT'S A SAD, SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS THAT DEER CHASE PHASE ONE CONDOMINIUMS WHERE I LIVE. IT'S BEEN A BRUTAL EXPERIENCE.
HONESTLY IT'S BEEN EXCRUCIATINGLY PAINFUL. UM PERHAPS THE CIRCUMSTANCES WE FIND OURSELVES IN COULD HAVE BEEN AVERTED IF CERTAIN CITY ORDINANCES WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE CLOSELY FOLLOWED. THE RECENT FIRE CODE INSPECTION THAT WAS DONE AT OUR PROPERTY. FROM BEST I UNDERSTAND WAS 6 TO 7 YEARS OVERDUE. I WAS TOLD BY A CITY EMPLOYEE.

[5.B. Conduct a Public Hearing on the 2023 tax rate.]
DEFERRED UNTIL THE END OF THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING. WE MOVE ON TO ITEM FIVE BE CONDUCTED PUBLIC HEARING. ON THE 2023 TAX RATE. BUDGET ANALYSTS JENNIFER OD FLOOR IS YOURS, MA'AM. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. LET ME LET ME LET ME GIVE SOME INSTRUCTION AND WHEN WE HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING WHEN WE HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING, THE INDIVIDUAL ON STAFF PRESENTS THE ITEM AND THEN I OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING TO THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO WISH TO SPEAK ON THE ITEM. THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR HAVE 10 MINUTES IN THE AGGREGATE. THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO OPPOSED THE ITEM HAVE 10 MINUTES TO SPEAK IN THE AGGREGATE AS WELL. WE THEN HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, AND THEN THE ITEM IS REOPENED FOR THE CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION. SO THAT IS HOW WE FOLLOW THE RULES OF PUBLIC HEARING THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE ZOHDI. MY APOLOGIES FOR INTERRUPTION. PLEASE CONTINUE. THANK YOU. SO I'M GONNA GO OVER BRIEFLY, UM, INFORMATION ABOUT THE TAX RATE BEFORE WE CONDUCT THE HEARING. SO UM, THE PROCESS , UM LITTLE EDUCATION ON THE PROCESS OF HOW THE TAX RATE COMES ABOUT. SO THIS ALL STARTS WITH THE DALLAS CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT AS THEY GO OUT, AND THEY APPRAISE ALL OF THE PROPERTIES. UM ONCE THOSE PROPERTIES ARE APPRAISED, CERTIFIED VALUES ARE RECEIVED BY THE CITY THAT DALLAS CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT GIVES THAT TO US IN THE END OF JULY, AND SO, UM, THAT THOSE THAT INFORMATION GOES TO THE COUNTY IS THE COUNTY CALCULATES THE DIRECT. IT'S BASED ON THE TRUTH AND TAXATION LAW. THERE ARE VARIOUS RATES THAT ARE CALCULATED. THERE IS THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE, WHICH MEANS THIS IS THE CALCULATED RATE THAT PROVIDES THE CITY WITH NO INCREASE IN PROPERTY TAX REVENUE. COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS YEAR. THERE IS THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE THAT IS THE HIGHEST RATE THAT THE CITY MAY ADOPT WITHOUT SEEKING AN ELECTION FROM THE CITIZENS. AND THEN THERE'S THE PROPOSED TAX RATE. THAT IS WHAT IS PROPOSED IN THE BUDGET. IT COULD BE ANYWHERE FROM THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE UP TO THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE OR ANYTHING IN BETWEEN THEM. THE PROPOSED TAX RATE IS WHAT IS SET BY THE CITY. ONCE THE COUNTY CALCULATES THAT RATE , YOU KNOW THAT'S GIVEN TO THE CITY AND THAT'S HOW WE BUILD THE BUDGET. UM FINALIZE THE BUDGET REVENUE FROM TAX AND THEN STAFF PRESENTS THAT TO COUNCIL AND TO THE PUBLIC. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY IN THIS BEFORE, BUT THIS IS JUST A COMPARISON OF THE TAX RATE AND OF THE NO NEW REVENUE RATES AND THE VOTER APPROVAL RATES OVER THE LAST EIGHT YEARS, AND ALSO WHAT YOU CAN SEE IS THE AVERAGE TAXABLE VALUE IN THE CITY. HOW THAT HAS CHANGED OVER THE LAST EIGHT YEARS, AS WELL AS WHAT THE ANNUAL TAX IS TOWARDS THE CITY PORTION OF YOUR TAX BASED ON THAT AVERAGE TAXABLE VALUE AS YOU CAN SEE THERE THAT THE REDUCTION FROM THE PREVIOUS TAX YEAR IS A LITTLE LESS THAN, UM, 0.7% BUT THE AVERAGE INCREASE TO HOMEOWNER BASED ON THE TAXABLE VALUE IS ABOUT $91 FOR THE YEAR. THIS IS A JUST A VISUAL DEPICTION TO SHOW YOU HOW THE[01:55:06]
TAX RATE HAS DROPPED OVER THE LAST EIGHT YEARS, AS WELL AS HOW THE TAXABLE HOME VALUE HAS GONE UP. UM THIS IS JUST TO SHOW YOU OUR TOTAL TAXABLE VALUE IS 3.6 MILLION. AS YOU CAN SEE HERE.THERE ARE TWO PORTIONS OF THE TAX RATE. OKAY, THERE IS YOUR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE. THE M N L PORTION AND YOU HAVE THE DEBT PORTION OF THE RATE. THE DEBT PORTION IS CALCULATED TO PAY BACK WHAT YOU OWE IN, UM AND DEBT PAYMENTS SO THAT THERE'S NO LOT OF THERE'S NOT A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY AND THAT RATE WHERE THE FLEXIBILITY COMES IN IS ON THE O AND M SIDE. BUT THIS JUST JUST SHOWS YOU, UM WHAT THE CALCULATIONS ARE IN THAT TOTAL REVENUE BASED ON OUR PROPOSED RATE OF 0.6. 46034. SHOWS YOU THE NOTE NO NEW REVENUE RATE. WHAT THAT CALCULATION WOULD BE AND WHAT THAT IMPACT WOULD BE TO OUR BUDGET AS WELL AS A KIND OF A HALFWAY IN BETWEEN, UM, RIGHT . THAT'S BETWEEN THE VOTER APPROVAL AND THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE JUST SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT THAT REVENUE DIFFERENCE WOULD BE , AND THE CHART BELOW THEIR SHOWS YOU AT THE PROPOSED RATE.
AGAIN THAT ANNUAL DIFFERENCE BASED ON THAT TAXABLE VALUE ABOUT $91 FOR THE YEAR. UM THAT HALFWAY POINT IT'S ABOUT $42 FOR THE YEAR EVAN INCREASE AND IF IT WAS NO NEW REVENUE RATE REDUCE ABOUT $7 JUST TO GIVE YOU A PERSPECTIVE OF HOW THE DIFFERENT RATES CAN IMPACT OUR BUDGET AS WELL AS THE HOMEOWNER. THIS CHART HERE JUST SHOWS YOU A COMPARISON OF THE TAX YEAR 22.
THIS IS BASED ON AVERAGE MARKET VALUE FOR THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE, NOT THE AVERAGE TAXABLE VALUE, BUT THE AVERAGE MARKET VALUE AS IT, UM, BREAKS DOWN THE VARIOUS ENTITIES. AS YOU KNOW THAT THE CITY IS ONLY A PORTION OF YOUR TOTAL TAX BILL. THERE'S ALSO A PORTION THAT GOES TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, THE COUNTY PARKLAND HOSPITAL IN DALLAS COLLEGE. SO BASED ON THE AVERAGE MARKET VALUE IN 22 UM, THE AVERAGE THAT ARE THE PROPERTY TAX WAS ABOUT 5007 AND $22. SO GO INTO TAX. YOU'RE 23 WHAT IS PROJECTED, UM, WITH THE CITY'S RATE AS YOU SEE THERE. UM NOW THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. AS YOU KNOW THAT LEGISLATION HAS RECENTLY BEEN PASSED IN THE IN THE STATES TO AMEND THE CONSTITUTION TO INCREASE THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. NOW, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE VOTED ON IN NOVEMBER. IT WILL BE ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT AS IT AMENDS THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION. SO UNTIL THAT IS OFFICIALLY PASSED, UM, BUT THIS SHOWS YOU WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE IF THAT HAS PASSED SO YOU CAN SEE THE REDUCTION IN THE TAXABLE VALUE AS WELL AS ALL THE OTHER ENTITIES. SO AS ALL WHOLE PICTURE HERE, UM, IN THIS SCENARIO THAT THE REDUCTION COULD BE ABOUT $795. BASED ON THIS AVERAGE MARKET VALUE, AND THE BIG CONTRIBUTOR TO THAT IS THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. OKAY, SO JUST TO KIND OF EXPLAINING SOME OF THE LANGUAGE WHEN IT COMES TO THE TAX RATE, AS YOU'VE SEEN IN THE CALCULATION SHEET THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE ITEM. SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE OF THEIR MATH, SO I WANTED TO KIND OF BREAK IT DOWN. SO YOU UNDERSTAND WHERE THE PERCENTAGES ARE COMING FROM. SO THE PROPOSED TOTAL TAX RATE OF 0.646034 IS A 7.38% INCREASE IN THE TAX RATE. SO WHAT THEY ARE USING THAT INCREASES BASED ON THE NO NEW REVENUE RATES, SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO FLUCTUATE EVERY YEAR. IT'S NOT BASED ON OUR PROPOSED RATE, OR THE RATE THAT WE ADOPTED LAST YEAR, BUT IT'S BASED ON THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE. SO IF YOU TAKE THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE AND ARE PROPOSED RATE THAT DIFFERENCE IS 0.044380. AND SO THAT PERCENTAGE CHANGE COMES TO THE 7.38. AND THEN LASTLY, UM THIS TAX RATE WILL RAISE MORE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS AND LAST YEAR'S TAX RATE, THE TAX RATE WILL EFFECTIVELY BE RAISED BY 4.11% AND WILL RAISE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS ON A $100,000 HOME BY APPROXIMATELY NEGATIVE 1959 SO AGAIN, UM JUST TRY TO BREAK DOWN THAT CALCULATION TO BREED UNDERSTAND? SO UM, THIS TAKES THE CALCULATED NO NEW REVENUE. FOR THE M AND O PORTION ONLY. AS WELL AS THE IMMUNO PROPOSED TAX RATE. IT SHOWS YOU THE DIFFERENCE AND THAT CHANGE COMES TO 4.11% AND THEY TYPICALLY THEY USE 100,000 IS A FIXED DOLLAR HOME VALUE FOR, UM FOR THIS, UH, FOR THIS, UM LANGUAGE. SO WHEN YOU COMPARE THE 23 NO TAX RATE IN THE 22 NO TAX RATE, AND WHAT THAT, UM, DIFFERENCE, UM, IS IT ULTIMATELY IS A REDUCTION OF $19.56 AGAIN. $100,000 HOME LAST
[02:00:01]
YEAR $100,000 HOME THIS YEAR, SO THAT NUMBER IS A FIXED NUMBER SO WITH THAT. THANK YOU, MISS OD.SO, AS I EXPLAINED BEFORE, WE WILL NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ITEM, AND THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING TO HEAR INDIVIDUALS WHO WISH TO SPEAK ON THE TAX RATE PROPOSED TAX RATE, AS EXPLAINED BY MS OD IS 0.646034 PER $100 EVALUATION. ANY INDIVIDUAL PRESENT WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS TAX RATE. PLEASE COME FORWARD. BEING DONE ANY INDIVIDUALS PRESENT WHO WISH TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THIS TAX RATE. PLEASE COME FORWARD. THINK NOT IN THE CHAIR, LIEUTENANT MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. SO MOVED WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING BY MR MCBURNETT SECOND BY MR KOONTZ COUNCIL, PLEASE VOTE ON CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING. THANK YOU. THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED AT 809. THANK YOU. WE REOPENED THIS ITEM FOR DISCUSSION BY CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVING DISCUSSION PLEASE LET ME KNOW. SEE NO DISCUSSION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MOVING ON TO ITEM C.
[5.C. Consider an Ordinance approving and adopting a budget for the City for the Fiscal Year October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024; providing that expenditures for said Fiscal Year shall be made in Duncanville City Council Agenda September 19, 2023 accordance with said Budget and ratifying the revised budget FY 2022- 2023 Budget (Section 7 of the attached ordinance)]
CONSIDERING ORDINANCE APPROVING AND ADOPTING A BUDGET FOR THE CITY OF THE FISCAL YEAR, OCTOBER 1 2023 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30 2020 FOR PROVIDING THAT EXPENDITURES FOR SAID FISCAL YEARS SHALL BE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WAS SAID BUDGET AND RATIFYING THE REVISED BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2022 2023, BUT SECTION SEVEN OF THE ATTACHED ORDINANCE, MISS OD THE FLOOR IS YOURS AGAIN, MA'AM.THANK YOU SO BEFORE WE GET INTO THE NEXT FIVE ITEMS, I DO WANT TO EXPLAIN THAT THESE NEXT FIVE AGENDA ITEMS DO ALL GO TOGETHER . SO WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT THE BUDGET ORDINANCE, WHICH I WILL RECAP AND GIVE YOU A BRIEF BUDGET PRESENTATION OF WHAT'S ALL IN THE BUDGET. AND THEN AFTER THAT VOTE WILL GO RIGHT INTO THE ORDINANCE THAT LEVIES THE TAXES. AND THEN AFTER THAT GOES RIGHT INTO THE RED RATIFICATION OF THE BUDGET. AND I'LL EXPLAIN WHEN WE GET TO THAT ITEM WHAT THAT MEANS, AND THEN WE GO TO THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE. AND AS WELL AS THE TMR S ORDINANCE THAT TIMOR S REQUIRES FOR THE BENEFIT ENHANCEMENT. SO ALL OF THESE ITEMS GO TOGETHER, AND THEY DON'T ALL NECESSARILY HAVE THEIR OWN PRESENTATION. SO OKAY, SO JUST THE BUDGET SNAPSHOT AGAIN. WHAT'S IN THE 23 24 PROPOSED BUDGET AGAIN. IT'S BUILT ON A PROPOSED TAX RATE OF 0.64034, WHICH RAISES 1.5 MILLION IN ADDITIONAL REVENUE FROM TAXES, AND THAT SPLIT BETWEEN O AND M AND THE DEBT. UM WE ARE INCREASING THE WATER AND SEWER RATES AS A PART OF THAT FIVE YEAR RATE INCREASE ORDINANCE STRATEGY. UM WHERE WE HAVE THE COUNCIL VOTED TO INCREASE THE SENIORS AND DISABLED HOMESTEAD EXEMPTIONS FROM 30 TO 35. SO THAT IS FACTORED INTO, UM, THE RATES. FOR TAXES. THERE'S GOING TO BE A 2% ADJUSTMENT TO THE RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL GARBAGE RATES TO PASS ALONG THE CI. THE CP. I INCREASES, UM, THAT THEY WILL PASS ALONG TO US. UM WE HAVE AN ENHANCED EMPHASIS ON GETTING THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS COMPLETED AS WELL. THERE ARE UPDATES TO THE MASTER FEES SCHEDULE THAT INCLUDE E. M E. M S AND UM, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. SO THIS JUST GIVES YOU A SNAPSHOT AGAIN OF LIKE WITH THE TOTAL RESOURCES ARE, UM FOR REVENUE OF 97 MILLION. I WANT THE TOTAL EXPENSES BY TYPE PERIOD 95 MILLION. SO WHAT THIS IS JUST SHOWING YOU IS BREAKING IT DOWN BY FUN TYPE. SO WE HAVE GENERAL OPERATION. WE HAVE ENTERPRISE. THAT'S YOUR WATER, SANITATION, THE BUSINESS LIKE FUNDS, ESPECIALLY USE FUNDS LIKE HOTEL MOTEL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND THEN CAPITAL REPLACEMENTS.
UM SO I KNOW THIS IS A LOT OF NUMBERS TO READ. IT IS IN YOUR IN THE PACKET THERE, AND WE WILL BE PUSHING OUT ALL OF THESE CHANGES ONCE EVERYTHING IS VOTED IN A IN A UPDATED BUDGET DOCUMENT. SO THE CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE SINCE LAST COUNCIL MEETING THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED, UM WE'VE DISCUSSED A ONE TIME, UH, EMPLOYEE STIPEND FOR UP TO $2000, WHICH GIVES TO 503,000. DOLLAR COST, WHICH IS FUNDED IN GENERAL FUND FUND BALANCE AND LET ME BACK UP ON THIS ONE. SO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW WE GOT TO THIS POINT. SO AT YOUR RETREAT ON AUGUST 21ST WE HAD THE DISCUSSION AS YOU REMEMBER THAT, UM WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT EMPLOYEE PAY, AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT RAISING RAISING PAY IN THE IDEA CAME OUT TO HAVE A ONE TIME STIPEND UNTIL WE CAN HAVE A YOU KNOW, A MID YEAR BUDGET REVIEW AND TALK MORE. ABOUT WHAT? OUR, UM WHAT OUR OPTIONS ARE. BEING ABLE TO, UM, PERHAPS RAISE PAIN. UM SO THE IDEA CAME OUT FROM Y'ALL TO CONSIDER ONE TIME STIPEND. SO NEXT COUNCIL MEETING ON SEPTEMBER 5TH. WE BROUGHT BACK
[02:05:03]
TO YOU GUYS. I'M AN ITEM BASED ON WHAT WE UNDERSTOOD FROM Y'ALL. WE HAD KIND OF A TIERED APPROACH WHERE WE WERE GETTING PUBLIC SAFETY A CERTAIN AMOUNT AND WE WERE CONSIDERING, UM MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES ANOTHER AMOUNT, BUT BASED ON YOUR FEEDBACK AND WHAT Y'ALL REMEMBER IT WAS BASED ON WANTED IT TO BE EQUAL. SO UM, ME, PROPOSING A FLAT AMOUNT THAT GOES ACROSS THE BOARD TO ALL FULL TIME EMPLOYEES. AND SO THAT IS WHAT THE 2000 AMOUNT IS AND AGAIN THAT COSTS 503,000 AND THAT INCLUDES THE TAXES AS WELL. ADDITIONALLY THE MASTER PLAN FOR THE LAB PROPERTY HAS BEEN INCLUDED INTO, UM THE GENERAL FUND. AND THEN, UM, SANITATION FUND. WE DID INCREASE OUR CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND ANTICIPATION OF THAT C I P INCREASE THAT WE DID NOT KNOW AT THE TIME, SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS REFLECTED AND THAT GOES INTO THE SANITATION FUN. SO COMING BACK TO THE GENERAL FUND, JUST SO YOU CAN SEE AGAIN WITH ALL THOSE CHANGES. AND, UM WE MADE THE CHANGES TO AT T. M. R. S. WE MADE THE CHANGES TO DELAY THE COMPENSATION TILL JANUARY 1ST TWO. THE STIPEND IN THERE, UM AS YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE 862,000 COMING FROM FUND BALANCE . THE EXCESS OVER RESERVE IS STILL 8.2 MILLION. THAT WE CAN POTENTIALLY USED FOR OTHER ONE TIME TYPE PROJECTS. SO JUST SOME HIGHLIGHTS AGAIN. WHAT'S IN THE BUDGET? UM WE CONTINUE TO REPLACE OUR LIBRARY MATERIAL. REPLACE OUR PARK COMMUNITIES. UM WE HAVE A METER REPLACEMENT FAN 1.5 MILLION DOT PUT TOWARDS THE AM I UM 1.7 MILLION IN STREET MAINTENANCE TO CONTINUE KEEPING OUR ROADS UP TO A MAINTAINABLE LEVEL. WE'VE HAD SOME TECHNOLOGY ENHANCEMENTS TO ENHANCE THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE AND ACCESSIBILITY SUCH AS C CLICK FIX FOR THE CITIZEN REQUEST, UM PERMITTING AND LICENSING PROCESS AND WORKFLOW. SOFTWARE SO I GET TO BROADCAST AND ENGLISH AND SPANISH SUBTITLES. WE HAVE CUSTOMER SERVICE ADVOCATES FOR OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE PROGRAM PERSONNEL AGAIN THE SECOND PHASE OF THE COMPENSATION INCREASE WHICH GOES INTO EFFECT JANUARY 1ST, UM, THE ONE TIME ENHANCEMENTS A T. M R S. WE HAD SOME ADDITIONAL POSITIONS, THE PART TIME EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SPECIALIST THAT WILL WORK WITH OUR EMERGENCY MANAGER COORDINATOR. UM ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR. WE ALSO ADDED A PARKING ENFORCEMENT OFFICER ACTUALLY IN FY 23. AND THEN THE 2001 TIME STIPEND FOR FULL TIME EMPLOYEES, AND ADDITIONALLY, THE COUNCIL REQUESTED ITEMS ARE IN THE BUDGET. SO THAT CONSERVATION FUND THE MASTER PLAN, AS WELL AS THAT TEXAS DOWNTOWN DUES. SO WITHOUT HIM. I'M DONE WITH THE RECAP OF THE PRESENTATION. SO THIS GOES INTO THE DISCUSSION FORCES. THANK YOU, MS O'DEA OPEN FOR DISCUSSION AND THAT THE FIVE THAT'S IN FRONT OF US NOW. IT IS ALSO IN OUR PACKET. WHEN WE GET TO THE END OF ANY DISCUSSION, THIS IS THE ACTUAL MOTION THAT MUST BE READ FOR LEGAL PURPOSES. SO IT WOULD NOT DON'T UM SPEAKER EXTRANEOUS LEE THOSE THAT INDIVIDUAL WHO WISHES TO MAKE THIS MOTION PLEASE READ THIS MOTION AS STATED HERE. SO ANY DISCUSSION ON THE ADOPTION OF OUR BUDGET FOR FY 23. MR MCBURNETT? YES, SIR. THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANK YOU, MISS ALI FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. IF YOU COULD GO BACK TO SLIDE, 82, PLEASE.AND. I THINK WE NEED TO BE VERY UPFRONT ABOUT THE STUFF THAT WE WILL SEE 20. 2020 22 1 AUDITED ACTUAL AND THEN WE HAVE. ACTUAL AND THEN WE HAVE REVISED AND PROPOSED, BUT BUT I THINK WE NEED TO BE READY, TRANSPARENT THAT WE DON'T HAVE AN AUDIT. YET AND WE'RE STILL WE'RE WORKING OFF THIS NUMBER, BUT I'D LIKE TO EXPAND ON THAT IF YOU COULD. ABSOLUTELY SO TO TRY TO PROJECT OUT WHAT THAT FUND BALANCES. UM NOW TO START WITH THE PLACE THAT WE KNEW WE HAD A COMPLETE AUDIT, SO THAT WAS STARTING WITH THE 21 AUDIT, SO THAT 15 MILLION WAS THE ENDING BALANCE AS PER THE 21 AUDIT, AND AS YOU SAY, WE ARE STILL WORKING THROUGH THE 22 AUDIT. SO, UM ARE YOU TAKING THAT BIG KNOWN BEGINNING BALANCE AND FACTORING IN WHAT WE KNOW REVENUES HAVE BEEN AND WHAT WE KNOW EXPENSES HAVE BEEN IN 22. THAT 2 MILLION IS WHAT WE HAVE OVER AND ABOVE, UM, SO MORE REVENUE. LESS EXPENSES EQUATES TO A NET 2 MILLION. SO THAT ADDS TO THE 17 MILLION THAT YOU SEE THERE AS A PROJECTED ENDING BALANCE, BUT AGAIN, LIKE YOU SAID, WE DON'T HAVE A UM, COMPLETE AUDIT YET TO HAVE A HARD NUMBER. UM, BUT TO EXPLAIN YOU KNOW THE TARGETED RESERVE AND ALL OF THAT, SO YOU KNOW, IT'S BEST PRACTICE THAT YOU AT LEAST PUT 60 DAYS. UM IN RESERVE , SO THAT WOULD BE YOU KNOW, A K LIKE A RAINY DAY FUND. KIND OF THINGS OF THE SHAPE OF THE CITY
[02:10:05]
WAS SHUT DOWN. WE CAN STILL MAKE OUR OBLIGATIONS FOR THE NEXT 60 DAYS. UM, PREVIOUS CITY MANAGERS, YOU KNOW, LIKE HAVING A MORE CONSERVATIVE APPROACH AND UP TO 75 DAYS, BUT THAT'S CERTAINLY KIND OF MANAGEMENT DISCRETION THERE. AND THEN ANYTHING ABOVE AND BEYOND. THAT REALLY IS JUST EXCESS THAT COULD BE DIRECTED TOWARDS OTHER THINGS. BUT IT IS ONE TIME FUNDS. UM SO IT IS STILL A PROJECTION. YOU ARE CORRECT ON THAT, AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL HAVE THAT ANSWER SOON. TO BE ABLE TO FINALIZE THAT. SO YOU HAVE THAT ASSURANCE AND HAVE THAT COMFORT OF KNOWING THAT THIS IS, UM, CLOSE TO WHAT WE PROJECTED TO BE. THANK YOU. WOULD YOU GO TO A SLIGHT 83, PLEASE? UM I'VE ASKED THIS QUESTION SEVERAL TIMES. AND I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN AN ANSWER . BUT METER REPLACEMENT FUND $1.5 MILLION TOWARDS AM I AND I KNOW WE HAD 3 MILLION. TO DECIDE IT WENT FROM 5 TO 3 MILLION. NOW WE'RE AT 1.5. AND THAT'S NOT REALLY SPECIFIC FOR YOU TO ANSWER. UH BUT UH, I'M. I'M GOING TO MAKE THE COMMENT IS THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT IN TERMS OF WHERE WE ARE AND WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THIS STUFF. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR MCBURNETT IN IN. WE HAVE HAD THIS DISCUSSION AND IT'S BEEN QUITE OPEN THAT MR MCBURNETT CONCERNED IS VALID AND THAT'S GREAT MERIT BECAUSE WE'RE NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT'S HAPPENED TO THIS AM I FUND IN PREVIOUS I THINK FOR THE PAST TWO OR THREE YEARS, ACTUALLY, WE'VE SEEN IT GO FROM FIVE DOWN TO THREE. NOW WE KNOW IT'S 1.5 AS IT BEING PRESENTED TO US TODAY. SO I ALSO WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT AS WELL, THAT FOR INDIVIDUALS PRESENT MR MCBURNETT IS THE CHAIRPERSON OF OUR AUDIT COMMITTEE. AND AS SUCH , HE IS HIS. HIS CONCERN IS AGAIN OF GREAT MERIT IN TERMS OF SAYING THAT YOU WANT TO GO TO 84 AGAIN. I'M SORRY. GO BACK TO WAS IT 82 THERE IT IS RIGHT THERE.SO KNOWING THAT THE AUDIT HAS NOT YET BEEN COMPLETED. HOPEFULLY THIS EVENING, WE WILL HAVE SOME MORE INFORMATION TO THAT. TO THAT ITEM, BUT WE'RE NOT SURE SO. COUNCIL AND CITIZENS UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THE COMPLETED AUDIT THIS NUMBER OF $8.2 MILLION, AS MISS OD HAS SAID, IS A PROJECTION. UM MORE OF A PROJECTION THAN AN ESTIMATE , AND I THINK THEY'RE THOSE.
THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PROJECTION ESTIMATE KNOWING THAT WHAT WE HAVE SO KNOWING AS WELL THAT THIS NUMBER COULD CHANGE. IT MAY BE FOR OUR CONSIDERATION AS ACCOUNTS MEMBERS TO KNOW THAT WHAT WE ARE APPROVING TONIGHT IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR CITY BUDGET IN ORDER TO MEET THE LEGALITIES OF THE DEADLINES IMPOSED ON MAKING THIS BUDGET, EFFECTIVE AS WELL, THAT WE UNDERSTAND AND I'M ASKING THE CITY MANAGER THAT WOULD BE MADE INTO THE MINUTES OF THE COMMENTS IN TERMS OF THE AUDIT BEING UNFINISHED. THIS IS A PROJECTION AND UPON COMPLETION OF THE AUDIT THE APPROVED BUDGET THAT WE VOTE ON TONIGHT IS BASICALLY CONDITIONAL AS A PROJECTION AND IF IT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED, WE CAN. WE WILL UNDERSTAND IT WILL BE COMING BACK. UH SO, MR HAGER , YOU HAVE SOME CONCERN OVER ANYTHING THAT I'M REQUESTING THE CITY MANAGER TO DO. RIGHT, RIGHT. WELL, YOU KNOW, IN THE I'M SAYING THAT BECAUSE OF THE INCOMPLETE AUDIT THAT WE HAVE, WHICH IS MOST IMPORTANT, AND WE SHOULD HAVE IT, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, WE DON'T SO AS I SAID, MR CITY MANAGER IF YOU ENSURE THAT THE MINUTES DO INDICATE THAT THIS PROJECTED BUDGET, UM IS BEING HOPEFULLY APPROVED IN A MOMENT OR TWO, BUT IT IS CONDITIONAL UPON HAVING THE AUDIT COMPLETED, UH AS NECESSARY AND WE CAN DO WE CAN APPROVE THIS BUDGET. AND IN ORDER TO CONFORM TO THE GALLERIES AND POST BY US BY THE STATE TO MEET THE DEADLINES.

UH, THERE'S NO SENSE IN TRYING TO QUANTIFY IT. BUT WE KNOW THAT THE NUMBER OF HOURS SPENT IN ORDER TO KEEP UP WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING. BOTH LOCALLY AND IN THE STATE BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN SOME LEGISLATION PASSED AT THE STATE AND THE 88TH LEGISLATION IN THE SECTION THAT IMPACTS WHAT WE'RE DOING TONIGHT AND WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN NOVEMBER WHEN THE ELECTION IS TAKEN BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME CONSTITUTIONAL PROPOSALS AND CHANGES TO BE MADE IN NOVEMBER, WHICH EVEN PUT A LITTLE BIT OF UNCERTAINTY ON WHAT WE'RE DOING TONIGHT? NOT A LOT. JUST JUST A SHADE. BUT IT PUTS INTO PERSPECTIVE THE ENTIRE SITUATION THAT THAT THE CITY WE AS A COUNCIL AND STAFF MEMBERS INVOLVED IN THESE PROJECTIONS HAVE HAD TO WORK ON IN DAY IN AND DAY OUT LOTS OF WEEKENDS.

OR EVERY TWO YEARS. OKAY THAT IS THE BASELINE FOR WHAT A LOT OF THE CITIES DO. AND YOU KNOW A LOT OF THE CITY'S DO TAKE IT. FURTHER. UM THEY DON'T HAVE TO. SO YOU KNOW, THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE IS THERE WITH WHAT THE STATE REQUIRES. SOME ONE MORE THING. UM, SO WE ALL UM MAYBE IN THE WATER INDUSTRY. I KNOW WE ALL HAVE TO GO THROUGH STATE INSPECTIONS. SO WITH THIS SYSTEM, ALL DAVID HAS TO DO IS GO BACK. YOU KNOW, WITH THE TAP OF A BUTTON AND PULL ALL THE REPORTS WITHIN JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES, SO AS DENNIS BETTER CAN COME IN AND REQUIRE DAVID I WANT TO SEE THE LAST DAY IN SAO INSPECTION OR BACKFLOW REPORT FROM, UM JEALOUS FUNERAL HOME. OKAY SO EVERYTHING WILL BE THERE . UH WE CAN TAKE THE OTHER REPORTS. GOING BACK TO HOW FAR YOU GOT 20 YEARS. 20 YEARS, 2000 . WE CAN TAKE ALL THESE REPORTS AND A ROOM AND TO OUR SYSTEM. OKAY AND LAST QUESTION YOU SAID THAT YOU OFFER THREE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS. UM JUST RECENTLY AS YOU WERE STANDING HERE IS THAT INCLUDED ALL THREE PROGRAMS. IS THAT WHAT WE ARE? IS THAT WHAT WE'RE CONSIDERING? IN THE S C TRACKING AGREEMENT. UH TONIGHT. NOT TO. NOT SO, SO THAT'S IF NEEDED IN THE FUTURE. RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST DOING THE SAME VALIDATION IS THE SAME ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE BOARD. WHAT WITH YOUR WITH YOUR BATHROOM REPORTS AND YOUR CSR REPORTS. SAME PROCESS VALIDATION INSURANCE TO MAKE EVERYBODY YOU KNOW THAT THEY DO HAVE THE PROPER LICENSE. TO PERFORM THESE DUTIES. RIGHT? SO, UM FOR OUR PROGRAM, UM, SAYING, YOU KNOW, IT WAS SORT OF THE SAME WAY SO WE HAVE TO DO IS JUST ADD IT ON OUR END, YOU KNOW, AND WE'RE UP AND RUNNING. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR. MR CONTRERAS. THANK YOU, MAYOR. I JUST HAVE THREE POINTS. UM, FIRST, MR DUNN. IT'S. FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD, IT'S GETTING HAS BEEN GETTING MORE INCREASINGLY MORE DIFFICULT TO FIND. STAFF THAT HAS THE PROPER CERTIFICATIONS AND LICENSES TO BE ABLE TO PERFORM. WHAT THE SC TRACKING FOLKS WILL BE PERFORMING IS THAT CORRECT? I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY INDUSTRYWIDE. I THINK WE'RE STRUGGLE TRYING TO FIND, YOU KNOW, QUALIFIED PEOPLE ANYWHERE , BUT, YEAH, I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE GENTLEMAN THAT THE WORKER[02:50:06]
THAT REPLACING JOE HE'S HE'S GOING TO CLASS RIGHT NOW, SO SURE WE'RE WORKING ON IT. AND, UM ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT TO STRESS IS AND YOU CAN TALK TO THIS LITTLE BIT THE CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE BECAUSE THE STATE DOES COME IN SURPRISINGLY AND ASK FOR ALL THOSE RECORDS AND THE CONSEQUENCES FOR FAILURE. IS NOT NOT FUN AND GAMES, SO NO, SIR. OKAY SO PART OF WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND IS TO ASSURE THAT WE HAVE THE BEST OPPORTUNITY TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN SPITE OF EMPLOYEES COMING AND LEAVING, WE WILL BE IMPACTED WERE ACTUALLY SCHEDULED FOR T C Q INSPECTION LATER, YOU KNOW THIS YEAR SOMETIME BUT, UM , I GUESS IT WILL HELP US WITH RECORD KEEPING. BUT THEN ALSO, MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT WILL HELP TO PROTECT OUR PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM. OKAY? AND, UM. THE INSPECTIONS THAT YOU PROVIDE ARE DONE WITH LICENSED BACKFLOW.INSPECTOR IS THAT CORRECT? SIR WE CAN PROVIDE INSPECTIONS. UM SO YOU KNOW, AS MYSELF, YOU KNOW, I AM CERTIFIED TO DO THOSE AND YOU CAN MENTION THE STAFF. YES, WE DO. HAVE A YOU KNOW, WE ARE ALL SEEING A SHORTAGE ON STAFF. I RUN A RURAL WATER SYSTEM. MYSELF I JUST THE OWNER OF SC TRACKING. I HAD MET HIM SEVERAL YEARS AGO. SO YOU KNOW THIS IS A PASSION AND YOU KNOW, I SEE THE NEED OF IT. WE USE IT . IT TAKES A HUGE LOAD OFF OF ME AND MY STAFF. I HAVE A VERY, VERY SMALL STAFF, SO AND WE ARE GROWING. UM BUT, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IT IS VERY BENEFICIAL. AND SO YOU KNOW, WE CAN OFFER THAT AS WELL. YOU KNOW, I MEAN, THAT THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING YOU KNOW THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO TALK WITH DAVID. YOU KNOW, AND BUT BUT CUSTOMER HAS THE RIGHT TO GET THEIR OWN INSPECTORS DO OKAY IN ALL THAT WILL WEAKEN, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING CAN BE CUSTOMIZED. SO ON THOSE LETTERS, UM OKAY, SO THE CSR LETTERS, OKAY. WE CAN HAVE THAT INFORMATION ON THE LETTER AND THE CUSTOMER CAN CAN'T GET ONLINE AND ACTUALLY FIND A CSR INSPECTOR OR A BACK LOW INSPECTOR. LAST LAST POINT IS DO WHAT TYPE OF SAFEGUARDS DO WE HAVE IN PLACE TO ENSURE THAT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE TESTING AREN'T TURNING AROUND AND DOING THE REPAIRS AS WELL. WELL. OKAY SO THAT'S WHERE THE VALIDATION COMES IN. OKAY, SO ON THE ON THE TESTIMONIES REPORT OKAY, SO, UM . THAT'S WHERE THE 65 POINT VALIDATION COMES IN. IT'S KIND OF HARD TO EXPLAIN. SO UM, BECAUSE THERE'S NOBODY THERE ACTUALLY WATCHING THEM. SO BUT IT'S REALLY NOT HARD TO WHEN YOU HAVE ONE TESTER. CONSISTENTLY. YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, INTEREST REPORTS IN YOUR CITY AND YOU KNOW, JUST FROM EXPERIENCE. YOU CAN TELL, YOU KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING MIGHT NOT BE RIGHT. I USED TO DO CONSULTING SO, UM AND I WORKED FOR A CITY I WAS WORKED IN CITY HALL FOR SIX MONTHS. WE GOT THE PROGRAM UP AND RUNNING. WE WORKED AT THE BUILDING SERVICES TO PERMIT DEPARTMENT.
YOU KNOW, THE FIRE MARSHAL. AND WHAT WE'RE FINDING IS THAT YOU KNOW NOBODY WAS PULLING PERMITS.
AND WE WOULD ACTUALLY GO OUT. ME AND ONE OF THOSE, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE MEMBER OF ONE OF THE STAFF THERE WITH THAT CITY. WE WOULD GO OUT AND ACTUALLY SEE BECAUSE YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SUSPICION THAT SOMETHING WASN'T BEING DONE RIGHT? WE WERE FOUND IN BACKFLOW ASSEMBLIES. ON INSTALLED. YOU KNOW THEY HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT LAYING ON THE FLOOR, BUT WE'RE WE'RE STILL GETTING TEST REPORTS. FOR THAT SAME ASSEMBLY. SO I MEAN BEING, YOU KNOW, DOING THIS FOR 25 YEARS. YOU YOU, YOU KNOW YOU SEE THINGS YOU YOU PICK UP. YOU KNOW, SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT.
YEAH MY. MY POINT IS JUST THIS THAT, UM IT'S LIKE THE FOX GUARDING THE HENHOUSE. WHEN YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE THAT ARE TESTING, THERE'S AN INCENTIVE. TO FAIL. BECAUSE IF THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TURN AROUND AND THEN DO THE REPAIR, THEY'RE KIND OF DOUBLE DIPPING. JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU'VE GOT A SAFE HAPPEN AND WE DO HAVE A SAFEGUARD, SO ALL WE CAN DO IS REPORTED TO YOU. THE CITY OF DUNCAN VEIL AND, UH AND I DO KNOW, I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE THAT T C Q. HAS CONTACTED ME ON SOME INSTANCES FROM THE CITY I WAS WORKING WITH BECAUSE IT WAS THERE WAS STUFF GOING ON. YOU KNOW THAT THE STATE YOU KNOW, WAS LAUNCHING AN INVESTIGATION INTO A BACK LOAD TESTER. OKAY, THANK YOU ARE SAFEGUARDS IN PLACE. UM YOU KNOW THAT WE YOU KNOW, WE AH, ALSO TO, UM IF THAT DOES HAPPEN, YOU KNOW THEY HAVE ACCESS THAT THEY CAN BLOCK THE
[02:55:06]
TESTER OUT FROM THE SYSTEM THAT THEY NO LONGER CAN TEST IN YOUR CITY. THANK YOU. SO THANK YOU.THE CHAIRMAN TENDER MOTION TO PROVE SO MOVED. MOTION APPROVED MR MCMAHON. IT'S MR CONTRERAS.
AND THIS IS NOW ITEM FOUR P HAS BECOME ITEM. FIVE J. COUNCIL, PLEASE VOTE. INTIMACY APPROVED.
THANK YOU. AND I. GOT A LITTLE BIT OUT OF ORDER. WE WANTED TO TAKE ITEM. FOUR C. ITEM FOUR C
[Additional Item]
NOW BECOMES FIGHT ITEM. FIVE H. I DON'T FOR SEE. CONSIDERED RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A GRANT OF HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX FUNDS FOR FISCAL YEAR 23 24. BUDGET INN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $222,000 TO EXPOSURE INCORPORATED. AND MR GARCIA THE FLOOR IS YOURS, SIR. MR COONS. I BELIEVE YOU HAD SOME QUESTIONS OF THIS INDIVIDUAL. YES, SIR. THANK YOU, MAYOR. I JUST. I HAD A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS REGARDING THE APPLICATION, BUT REALLY MY QUESTIONS. UH, OR JUST ABOUT THE USE OF THE FUNDS IN GENERAL, SO BUT JUST AS FAR AS THE APPLIQUE THE APPLICATIONS INVOLVED, SO IT'S UH 222 $1000 RIGHT. FOR 12 EVENTS OVER THE NEXT 12 MONTHS. THAT'S CORRECT. GUS GARCIA, MANAGER, DIRECTOR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. THAT'S CORRECT. COUNCIL MEMBER UM I DO HAVE A PRESENTATION HERE THAT GOES INTO DETAIL ON THOSE EVENTS. IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE THAT, OKAY? SO AS I MENTIONED EARLIER IN 2022 EAST, BOSSIER HOSTED THE FIRST TEXAS HIGH SCHOOL MIDDLE SCHOOL SPORTS CHAMPIONSHIPS IN A PREVIOUS MEETING. IN 2023 EAST, BOSSIER HOSTED THE UPS REGIONALS IN PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE N B. A IN 2023 EAST, BOSSIER HOSTED THE SECOND TEXAS HIGH SCHOOL AND MIDDLE SCHOOL SPORTS CHAMPIONSHIPS IN ATTENDANCE DOUBLED WITH 400 REGISTRANTS.BRINGING THE SPORTS COMPETITION TO DUNCAN HAS BEEN A MISSION OF EXPOSURE AND THE NATION IS TAKING NOTICE. IN 2020 TO 40 ROOMS ARE RESERVED AND USED IN 20 2346. ROOMS WERE RESERVED AND USED. 60 ROOMS ARE RESERVED 150 PEOPLE FOR UPS REGIONALS 250 PEOPLE ATTENDED THE EVENT. 90% OF ATTENDEES DID NOT RESIDE IN TEXAS. 86 ROOMS ARE RESERVED 370 PEOPLE FOR TEXAS E SPORTS CHAMPIONSHIPS. 4500 PEOPLE ATTENDED THE EVENT. 98% OF PARTICIPANTS WERE FROM OUTSIDE OF DUNCANVILLE TRAVELING TEAMS WERE ASKED TO PURCHASE HOTELS AND DUNCANVILLE FOR A DISCOUNTED RATE. WE ARE REQUIRING A STATE FOR PLAY, UH, WITH MR MARTIN. SO JUST SO THE COUNCIL KNOWS HOTELS OUTSIDE OF DUNCANVILLE WERE ALSO OCCUPIED, SO WE MUST PROVIDE INCENTIVES FOR VISITORS TO COMPLY TO OCCUPY DUNCANVILLE HOTELS. THE SCHEDULE OF PROPOSED EVENTS IN 2023, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23RD EAST BOSSIER VAN TO HIGH SCHOOL AND M S ROCKET LEAGUE KICKOFF TOURNAMENT. THESE ARE THE TOURNAMENTS THAT WE WERE DISCUSSING A MINUTE AGO. FOR SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7TH EAST BOSSIER VAN TO HIGH SCHOOL AND MISS SUPER SMASH BROTHERS KICKOFF TOURNAMENT AND I'LL LET MR MARTIN TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THOSE IN DETAIL. IF YOU'D LIKE. BUT WITHOUT READING ALL OF THEM. THESE ARE THE SCHEDULED EVENTS THAT MR MARTIN IS PROPOSING. EACH OF THE EVENTS ARE PROPOSED BECAUSE 90% OR MORE OF THE ATTENDEES WILL NOT RESIDE IN THE DALLAS FORT WORTH. AREA AND WILL NEED TO PURCHASE HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS WITHIN THE AREA OF THE EAST BOSSIER SPORTS 442,000 GRANT 100,000 WE SPENT IN AUSTIN, SAN ANTONIO AND HOUSTON MARKET IN MARKETING AND ATTRACTING TOURISTS TO THE AREA. 122,000 WE SPENT ON PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS TO BE ADVERTISING GLOBAL ONLINE BROADCASTING, SO IT'S PURE MARKETING INCENTIVE GRANT TO BRING TOURISM TO THE CITY. HE'S PROJECTING 3720 ATTENDEES. 3348 OF WHOM ARE TOURISTS TO THE AREA. HE'S PROJECTING ANOTHER 830 ROOMS WILL BE RUNNING ACROSS 13 EVENTS WITH AN AVERAGE ROOM RATE OF ABOUT $116, BRINGING IN APPROXIMATELY $96,695 NOW WE'RE NOT PUTTING ANY PROJECTIONS FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WAS SPENT, AND OBVIOUSLY IN OUR RESTAURANTS, ETCETERA. UM SO THAT'S ANOTHER ITEM FOR DISCUSSION. UM ONE OF THE THINGS ON THE CRITERIA FOR OBVIOUSLY SPONSORING SOME OF THESE EVENTS IS, DOES IT PROVIDE HEADS AND BEDS AND DOES IT MEET NINE CATEGORY ONE OF THE NINE CATEGORIES WITH THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE? BE HAPPY TO GO OVER THOSE. AH BUT I'M SURE I WOULD LITTLE LEGAL COUNSEL COULD PROVIDE MORE GUIDANCE ON THAT IF YOU'D LIKE. AS I MENTIONED IN THE BRIEFING SESSION. I KNOW IT'S A LARGE NUMBER OF THESE ASKING FOR, BUT WE HAD MET WITH MR MARTIN ABOUT HOSTING A NUMBER OF EVENTS IN THE CITY AND ATTRACTING TOURISM TO THE CITY AND CONTINUAL BASIS AND BASICALLY ENGAGING IN AN E
[03:00:03]
SPORTS. DESTINATION SITE FOR THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE. UM WHEN WE LOOKED AT WHAT HE WAS ASKING FOR, WE LOOKED AT THE AVERAGE, UH, PROMOTIONAL EXPENSES OR WHAT WE DO FOR SPONSORSHIP FOR AN EVENT THAT BRINGS THESE TYPE OF HOTELS AND BEDS. HEADS AND BEDS TO THE CITY. AND IF YOU TAKE THE 222,000, AND YOU DIVIDE THAT BY 12 EVENTS, THEN YOU START TO LOOK AT THE ACTUAL SPONSORSHIP IF YOU WILL, FOR EACH ONE OF THOSE UM, AS THE MAYOR HAD MENTIONED IN THE BRIEFING SESSION EACH ONE OF THESE EVENTS IS ON A REIMBURSEMENT BASIS. SO MR MARTIN WILL HAVE TO PROVIDE US WITH A POST EVENT REPORT. WHICH WILL BASICALLY SAY HOW MANY HEADS AND BEDS WERE ATTRACTED HOW MANY STATES ARE HOTELS AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION TO THE COUNCIL. IN FACT, WE COULD ACTUALLY MONITOR IT ON A REGULAR BASIS AND BRING BACK AND SHOW YOU THE RESULTS OF ANY INCENTIVES. YOU WERE TO PROVIDE MR MARTIN WITH THAT. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? OF COURSE. MR MARTIN IS HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE NUMBER OF EVENTS THAT HE WAS PROPOSING. THANK YOU, MARY. SO, UH, A COUPLE OF THINGS SO FIRST OF ALL. THERE'S PROBABLY MY GENERATION THAT REALLY ESTABLISHED GAMING AS A THING BECAUSE WE ARE THE GENERATION THAT HAD NINTENDO AH, SECOND GENESIS. THOSE WARS THAT STARTED AND I WAS INVOLVED IN ALL THAT.AND SO, UM YOU KNOW, I AND JUST TO KIND OF SEE THE FACT THAT IT'S GONE BEYOND GAMING, BECAUSE NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT EDUCATION. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT VIRTUAL REALITY. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. UM AND IN THE FUTURE THESE INDUSTRIES AND YOU DON'T JUST DO GAMING RIGHT. THIS IS ALSO ABOUT EDUCATIONAL EVENTS AND UM AND TECH AND SO, YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO START OFF BY SAYING THAT I FULLY AND COMPLETELY SUPPORT THIS BECAUSE I THINK IT'S UM YOU KNOW, IT REALLY KIND OF LOOKING AHEAD INTO THE INTO THE FUTURE. UM AND SO AGAIN. UM, MY PRIMARY CONCERNS. AH! ARE JUST ABOUT. YEAH, HERE VERY RECENTLY. THERE WAS SOME ACCUSATIONS ABOUT HOW WE USE THE HOTEL MOTEL TAX FUND IN REGARDS TO CERTAIN EVENTS. AND JUST FOR ME, IT WASN'T REALLY CLEAR. AH, AS FAR AS. WHETHER OR NOT WE WERE USING SOME OF THOSE FUNDS THAT THEY WERE AUTHORIZED. AND SO I APPRECIATE THE DETAIL HERE BECAUSE THIS ACTUALLY CLEARS UP A LOT OF JUST KIND OF QUESTIONS. I HAD UM AS FAR AS OUR USE OF THIS FUND. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MULTIPLE EVENTS. AND SO WE'RE WE'RE OKAY WITH APPROVING. YEAH AT ONCE. I THINK THAT YEAH, BECAUSE WE WON'T REIMBURSE THEM FOR ANYTHING THAT IS NOT REIMBURSABLE. SO IF THEY HAD AN EVENT DIDN'T QUALIFY, THEY WOULDN'T GET A REIMBURSEMENT. I WOULD BE MORE CONCERNED WITH OUT TO YOUR QUESTION. I WOULDN'T WANT THE APPLICANT TO USE ALL THE MONEY FOR ONE EVENT AND THAT LEAVE THE OTHER EVENTS UNFUNDED, ABLE FROM US AND HAVING TO COME BACK. SO I THINK MAYBE SOME QUESTIONS AS THEY CAPPING A PER EVENT BECAUSE I'LL HAVE TO WRITE THE AGREEMENT. AND I WANT TO PROTECT YOUR EXPECTATIONS AS BEING THE STEWARDS OF THE HOT FUNDS. AND THE APPLICANTS. UM.
EXPECTATIONS OF HOW MUCH YOU'RE GOING TO FUND PER EVENT. BECAUSE THAT THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IT WILL BE DIFFICULT FOR US TO JUST GAS, BUT I THINK YOU HAD A CAP. FOR NO. ONE EVENT MORE THAN WHATEVER THE MAXIMUM IS THAT YOU'RE WILLING TO COMMIT TO THAT EVENT. AND MAYBE THE QUESTION TO HIM IS WHAT EVENTS ARE YOUR BIGGEST ONE? WHAT'S YOUR SMALLEST ONES? AND COULD WE PROPORTION OUT THE MONEY TO THE SIZE OF THE EVENT, WHICH WOULD MAKE SOME SENSE TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS ADEQUATELY FUNDED? MR MARTIN TURNED THE FLOOR UP TO YOU AND TERMS OF WHAT OUR CITY ATTORNEYS SAID. I THINK YOU'RE PRETTY WELL UNDERSTAND IF YOU YOU KNOW IF HE WANTS HE'S LOOKING FOR US TO DO SOMETHING AS FAR AS THE CITY COUNCIL TO CAP X NUMBER OF DOLLARS PREVENT RATHER THAN AS MR KOONTZ IS SAID TO BE IMPROVING THE BUCKET OF $222,000 SO ANNOYING IS HOW YOU INTEND TO USE THOSE DOLLARS FOR THOSE EVENTS WOULD BE HELPFUL TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION TO US AT THIS MOMENT. THANK YOU. PERFECT. THANK YOU. SO MUCH FOR THE QUESTIONS. SO WHAT WE'RE SEEING RIGHT NOW IN THE STATE OF E SPORTS AND TEXAS HIGH SCHOOLS AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS IS THAT THERE ARE CLUBS BEING DEVELOPED AND ACTIVELY THOSE CLUB MEMBERS.
THOSE COACHES WANT PLACES TO ACTUALLY GO AND COMPETE FROM A RECRUITMENT PERSPECTIVE. THEY WANT TO SAY, HEY, WE'RE GOING TO DUNCANVILLE, TEXAS, TO COMPETE IN A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP AMONGST OTHER SCHOOLS IN TEXAS. SO CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW WHAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED AS BECAUSE OF OUR SPACE, WHICH IS 8000 SQUARE FEET, IT'S SMALL WE'VE BEEN HAVING TO DO. ONLINE TOURNAMENTS
[03:05:03]
WHERE WE'RE STREAMING THEM THOUSANDS OF VIEWERS BUT ULTIMATELY HAVING THE ELEMENT OF BRINGING THE BEST SEMIFINALISTS AND FINALISTS TO OUR FACILITY. AND SO WHAT WE'VE DECIDED IS THE REASON WHY WE HAVE NOW ALL OF THESE EVENTS IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO AND AGAIN THOSE TOURNAMENTS ONE TOURNAMENT WOULD BE FULFILLED WITH ABOUT 10 DIFFERENT TITLES. SO CHESS FORTNITE APEX LEAGUE OF LEGENDS IN ONE SITTING OVER THREE DAY TIME SPAN. SO WHAT WE DECIDED IS WE ACTUALLY GOING TO ADD MORE EVENTS WHERE EACH EVENT IS ONLY ONE TITLE. SO THE ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. THREE OF THOSE EVENTS OF THOSE 13 PROPOSED ARE THE CHAMPIONSHIPS, WHEREAS THREE DAYS AND IT'S MULTIPLE TITLES. THE REST OF THEM THAT YOU'RE SEEING RIGHT HERE. EXPOSURE VAN TO THE ROCKET LEAGUE KICK OFF THE SUPER SMASH. THAT IS JUST ONE TITLE EVENT. SO THOSE ARE A SMALLER TITLES. SO YOU'RE TYPICALLY LOOKING AT AROUND ABOUT 150 TO 300 INDIVIDUALS TUNING INTO THOSE SMALLER EVENTS THAT'S ARRIVING TO DUNCANVILLE AND THEN THE ACTUAL LARGER EVENTS. AS WE'VE SEEN, IT DOUBLED IN THE LAST ONE THAT WAS PROVIDED AT 400. SO WE'RE ALREADY EXPECTING BY AT LEAST ABOUT 607 100 INDIVIDUALS. AND THAT BECOMES HARDER BECAUSE AGAIN, WE HAVE TO DO THE SEMIFINALS ALL THE WAY TO THE FINAL. SO ULTIMATELY WHAT THIS IS TRANSPIRING IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE A BIGGER SPACE VERY FAST. AND SO ULTIMATELY IT COMES DOWN TO HAVING A BIGGER SPACE OR RENTING OUT A LARGER ARENA SOMEWHERE CLOSE BY AND ULTIMATELY I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO DO THAT. I WANT TO KEEP IT HERE. SO THE QUESTION WAS LETS YOU MENTIONED YOU HAVE THREE CHAMPIONSHIPS. IN TERMS OF EXPENDITURES. THOSE WOULD BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE ONE THAT YOU DO. SO THE QUESTION WAS ASKED IF YOU PUT IT WHAT WOULD YOU ESTIMATE THE MOST TO BE EXPENDED ON A CHAMPIONSHIP? APPROXIMATELY AROUND ABOUT 40,000, SO THOSE THREE EVENTS OF 40,000 IN THE ACTUAL OTHER EVENTS TO ATTEND EVENTS WILL BE ULTIMATELY AROUND ABOUT 12,000. SO YOU CAN PUT THAT CAP RIGHT THERE. OKAY SO THAT YOU'RE SEEING THAT INDIVIDUALS AROUND ABOUT 10 AND 10,000, AND THEN THE ACTUAL THREE EVENTS WILL BE PROPOSED, AS LIKE THE LAST HOT TAX HAD AROUND ABOUT 36 TO 40. MR CITY ATTORNEY. I THINK THAT GIVES YOUR ANSWERS. THAT'S FINE. THAT GIVES, UH AND I'LL HAVE THE TAPE TO WRITE THE AGREEMENT IF THAT'S OKAY WITH YOU. SO IF YOU APPROVE THIS, I WILL WRITE THE AGREEMENT TO REFLECT THE THREE CHAMPIONSHIP EVENTS AT APPROXIMATELY 40,000 AND THE REMAINING EVENTS AT 12,000, WHICH WOULD REACH THE MAXIMUM NO. AND THEN THIS IS JUST FOR ASSISTANT INTERIM CITY MANAGER.UM YOU KNOW, I WOULDN'T MIND GETTING BECAUSE WE ARE APPROVE. YOU KNOW? FUNDING FOR EVENTS.
YOU KNOW THIS FUND QUITE OFTEN. SO I WOULDN'T MIND SEEING, UH, SOME OF THE REPORTS AND YOU'RE FOLLOWING LIKE, YOU KNOW, IN ANY EVENTS THAT WE FUND AND JUST SEEING SOME OF THE REPORT REPORTS JUST AS A FOLLOW UP UM, OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE DO COME BACK. MULTIPLE TIMES REQUESTING FUNDS. YES, SIR. I BELIEVE MOST OF MY QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED, AND, UH WE ARE NOT DOING FORMULA ONE. ARE YOU YET? VIRTUAL FORMULA. WE'RE WORKING RIGHT NOW. WE'RE BORING AND ALSO NASCAR. I'LL SEE YOU THEN. THANK YOU ADD TO IF I CAN . OKAY UM, THE LAST EVENT THAT WE PROVIDED, UM IN REGARDS TO, UM HOT TEXT. IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000 INDIVIDUALS TUNED IN. THESE ARE THE SAME STUDENTS THAT WENT, WEREN'T ABLE TO QUALIFY THAT CAME DOWN, SO THEY ULTIMATELY WASHED IT ONLINE . SO WHEN WE THINK ABOUT MARKETING, WE HAD TO GO TO THE HOTELS AND CREATE MARKETING CONTENT. FROM THE HOTELS TO PUT INTO THE ACTUAL PRODUCTION, SO IN THE INSTANCE THAT THOSE ATHLETES WEREN'T ABLE TO QUALIFY AND COME, THEY DEFINITELY SEEN THE ACTUAL ADVERTISING IN THE ACTUAL PRODUCTION, AND THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO KNOW IF THEY DO QUALIFY FOR THE NEXT ONES. THEY KNOW WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO BE STAYING. SORRY. I DID HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION SO OF THE 830 ROOMS, UH, THAT WOULD BE BOOKED ABOUT HOW MANY OF THOSE WOULD ACTUALLY BE USED. THE COOL THING ABOUT SPORTS. IS THAT RIGHT NOW? THEY HAVE TO STAY DURING THE WHOLE TOURNAMENT. SO IF ANYBODY WHO'S COMING IN FROM FRISCO I MEAN FROM, UM FROM HOUSTON IZED OR STAFFORD OR AUSTIN EYES D. THEY'RE GOING TO BE STAYING IN THE HOTELS. THEY'RE OUT THERE DURATION OF THE ACTUAL TOURNAMENT. I GUESS MY QUESTION WAS OF THE NUMBER OF ROOMS 830 HOW MANY OF THOSE WHO BECAUSE THEY'RE BOOKED RIGHT? BUT THEY MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE USE SO ABOUT HOW MANY OF THOSE DO WE EXPECT TO BE USED? THEN IT'S A. IF WE KNOW WHO'S REALLY WE KNOW WHO'S UM UM QUALIFIED AHEAD OF TIME, SO THAT PROJECTION IS AS SPOT ON AS WE POSSIBLY CAN, IN AN INSTANCE THAT THEY DO NOT COME, THEN WE CAN ULTIMATELY BE ABLE TO PUT THAT TOWARDS THE POST AGREEMENT OR THE POST POST DOCUMENT TO SHOWCASE THAT THAT DIDN'T COME IN. BUT THAT'S THE
[03:10:05]
BEST WAY I CAN ANSWER THAT. UH, COUNCILOR GOES IF I MAY, UH MR MARTIN IS TOTALLY, UM WILLING TO DO A STATE OF PLAY CLAWS ON DISAGREEMENT. SO ANYBODY ANY TERMINI HAS WOULD BE REQUIRED TO STAY AT DUNK OF THE HOTEL. AS PART OF IT AS LONG AS THERE'S ROOM. OKAY I APPRECIATE THAT.AND THANK YOU AGAIN, AND I JUST WANT TO REITERATE, THOUGH, MY GENERAL CONCERN ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE ANY USES THAT WE MAKE OF THIS FUN ARE AUTHORIZED. UM AND JUST MAKING SURE JUST THE SCRUTINY THAT WE'VE BEEN ON UNDER THAT WE HAVE RESPONSES AND ANSWERS TO THAT. SO THANK YOU.
MR CONTRERAS. THANK YOU, MAYOR. HI. I'M LIKE MR KOONTZ. DID NOT PLAY VIDEO GAMES. WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. I PLAYED PONG. DOES ANYBODY REMEMBER PONG? I DIDN'T THINK SO. THERE YOU GO. UM, LOOK IT UP. IT WAS EXCITING GAME ELECTRONIC GAME. UM. ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE LOCATION OVER AND MAYBE YOU AND I WERE AT THIS BED IN ARLINGTON A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. IT'S THE ARCTIC TERN CONVENTION CENTER HAS BEEN TURNED INTO THE INTO AN E SPORTS STADIUM. YEAH, YOU FAMILIAR WITH THAT? I'M VERY FAMILIAR. OKAY WHEN I WALKED IN, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT, BECAUSE THEY CONDUCTED THAT EVENT AT THE E SPORTS STADIUM IN ARLINGTON. IS THAT RIGHT? OKAY COST US $150,000 JUST A BIT AND THIS STAGE SETUP WAS AMAZING WHERE THEY COULD. RUN THOSE MONSTER TRUCKS WITH SOCCER BALLS AND ALL THAT IT WAS WAY BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION. BUT I DID NOTICE OUT BACK WHEN WE PULLED UP. THERE WERE QUITE A FEW HIGH SCHOOL SCHOOL BUSSES PARKED OUT THERE SO I CAN ONLY ASSUME THEY WERE ALL IN HOTELS SOMEWHERE. FIXING TO COME DOWN AND PLAY SOME SERIOUS GAMES AND I ACTUALLY WISH I COULD HAVE STAYED AROUND AND WATCHED SOME OF IT. BUT WE WERE THERE FOR A DIFFERENT ISSUE, BUT WELL, THAT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW THIS EXISTED, TOO. TO THIS LEVEL. I APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS, QUESTIONS YOU ASKED COUNCILMAN CURRENTS BECAUSE IT'S CLARIFIED. FOR ME. WHAT WHAT? WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE HERE AND I WOULD AGREE THERE'S PROBABLY MASSIVE POTENTIAL FOR THIS GOING FORWARD, SO I'M GLAD TO HEAR THE REPORT. THANK YOU. I'M GLAD WE BROUGHT THIS. INTO CHAMBERS TO DISCUSS IT FURTHER.
THANK YOU. AND JUST AS AN ADD ON THAT I KNOW THAT UNIVERSITIES ARE NOW GRANTING MAJORS IN THE SPORTS. SO JUST TO KIND OF ADD ON TO THIS, UM, I'VE DEVELOPED AND JUST FINISHED IN TERMS OF ONE THING THAT YOU SAID MR BARTON. IS THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE CALLED ATHLETES. YOU KNOW, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT ATHLETES USING TECHNOLOGY, BUT THEY ARE TERMED ATHLETES AND E SPORTS IS IN SPORTS MANAGEMENT. IN UNIVERSITIES BEING GRANTED AS BACHELOR OF SCIENCE DEGREES AT THIS PARTICULAR MOMENT. SO THAT TELLS YOU JUST AS YET, MR COONS IN TERMS OF MOVING GENERATION AND GENERATION, THIS IS OMNI GENERATIONAL. PUT THE PAST BEHIND YOU BECAUSE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE, MR MCBURNETT. I'M JUST GONNA MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE. THANK YOU. MUST IMPROVE MR MCBURNETT SECOND BY MR KOONTZ, PLEASE VOTE. WELL, THEY'RE VOTING. THAT'S WITH THE CAVEATS THAT WE YES. WITH THE WITH THE GAP BEFORE ABOUT 40,000 FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP EVENTS AND THE 12 FOR THE OTHERS. THANK YOU. UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND THANK YOU FOR STICKING WITH US. MR MARTIN APPRECIATE IT. AND BY THE WAY, I THINK IF YOU ASK DANNY FOR SOME TIME ON SOMETHING, HE PROBABLY LET YOU SIT IN THE CHAIR AND SHOW HOW IN THAT, BUT YOU REALLY ARE BECAUSE I'VE SAT IN THOSE CHAIRS. I'VE WORKED IN HIS OPERATION AND I AM A TOTAL FAILURE. BEING ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH ANY OF THE GOALS OF WHAT THEY DO. SO IT'S REALLY AN AMAZING OPERATION. WE ARE MOVING ON TO ITEM FOR K, WHICH BECOMES
[Additional Item]
, BY THE WAY THAT WAS BECAME MIGHT, UM, FIVE H. THEY WERE JUST APPROVED. WE'RE MOVING ON TO ITEM. FOUR K. MAYOR GUS GARCIA AGAIN. I'M SUPPOSED TO READ IT JUST A MINUTE. YEAH.OKAY ITEM FOUR K, WHICH IS NOW ITEM FIVE K ON INDIVIDUAL CONSENT. CONSIDERED RESOLUTION APPROVING ACCEPTED TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AN AGREEMENT WITH DALLAS COUNTY ON BEHALF OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT FOR FOOD, ESTABLISHMENT INSPECTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. IT HAD TO TEAR TO AND INCORPORATED HERE AND THEY SAID, BUT A EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1 2023 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30 2024. MR GARCIA. YES MAYOR. I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. I KNOW THIS WAS BROUGHT UP IN THE BRIEFING SESSION. UM I CAN GIVE A BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF WHAT I DISCUSSED THERE IF YOU'D LIKE. OR I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE. ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL IT WAS GOOD. THANK YOU, MAYOR. UM.
[03:15:04]
SO FOUR K INCLUDED. THE HEALTH INSPECTION OF RESTAURANTS AND ALSO THE MOSQUITO SPRING ON THE GROUND. IS AM I UNDERSTANDING THAT PART CORRECTLY OR AERIAL FROM THE PLANE? OKAY. FOUR K.THAT WAS THE AREA FROM THE PLANE . UM ONE QUESTION I DO HAVE REGARDING THIS IS THE. AVAILABLE BUDGET, THE FUNDING SOURCE. SO. ON ONE OF THE ACTIONS ALTERNATIVE, IT SAYS. NUMBER ONE AT THE END BUDGET MODIFICATION OF FISCAL YEAR 24. SO HERE IT SAYS AVAILABLE BUDGET IS $19,055 . THAT'S CORRECT. PURCHASE AMOUNT IS ZERO AND THEN AFTER INCUMBENT INCUMBENT IS ENCUMBER IS $0. THAT'S CORRECT. YOU EXPLAIN HOW IT'S READING ON HERE. SO FOR CLARITY? YES, OF COURSE. SO EVERY YEAR WE BUDGET AMOUNT FOR THESE SERVICES. THIS IS THIS CONTRACT IS SOMETHING THAT COMES BEFORE THE CITY YEAR IN AND YEAR OUT FOR MOSQUITO SPRAYING IN THE EVENT THAT WE NEED IT. THE $19,055 IS THE AMOUNT WE HAVE BUDGETED TO DRAW DOWN ON IN THE EVENT. WE DO NEED THESE SERVICES. SO WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FINAL AMOUNT IS GOING TO BE. IT COULD EFFECTIVELY BE ZERO, WHICH I DOUBT VERY SERIOUSLY, BUT WE HAVE $19,055 TO DRAW FROM IN THE EVENT. WE NEED IT. AND IF WE EXCEED THAT AMOUNT, OBVIOUSLY WE'D HAVE TO COME BACK AND ASK FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDS FROM THIS COUNCIL, ASSUMING IT DOESN'T EXCEED $50,000, AND NORMALLY, WE WOULDN'T BRING A CONTRACT LIKE THIS TO THE CITY UNLESS IT EXCEEDS $50,000. BUT HISTORICALLY WE HAVE ALWAYS BROUGHT THIS CONTRACT TO THE COUNCIL. WHICH IS WHY IT'S BEFORE YOU TODAY BECAUSE THERE WAS ANOTHER QUESTION. I HAD SO ON PAGE 73 OF THE FISCAL YEAR BUDGET. FOR 24. IT SAYS 19,000 IS WHAT'S BUDGETED FOR THE MOSQUITO ABATEMENT SERVICES WITH DALLAS COUNTY USED AS NEEDED, SO THE MODIFICATION ARE WE ADDING THE ADDITIONAL $55 TO IT. IS THAT THE MODIFICATION WE'RE CONSIDERING TONIGHT. BECAUSE IT'S ORIGINALLY BUDGETED FOR 19,000. BUT HERE IS 19,055. UH I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION. I'D HAVE TO LOOK AT THE BUDGET AND SEE WHY THIS WAS $19,055. THAT WOULD BE AN OVERSIGHT ON MY PART. I DIDN'T SPOT THAT I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. THANK YOU FOR THAT. UM, IT'S ALSO ON THE NEXT ITEM, WHICH IS MA'AM. AILES. AND I WAS JUST WANTING TO GET CLARITY ON THE AMOUNT THAT WE ARE APPROVING.
THANK YOU SHOULD HAVE SPOTTED THAT SO IT'S ON ME. KUNZ. THANK YOU, MAN. I'M I'M SORRY. I'M SLOW. I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW MOSQUITOES SPRING OR ARE WE TALKING ABOUT MOSQUITOES SPRING RIGHT NOW, ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HEALTH INSPECTOR? IF I MAY , UM SO THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES PROVIDES THESE SERVICES, BOTH MOSQUITO SPRAYING AND THE PUBLIC INSPECTION ON A CONTRACT BASIS TO THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE. SO WHAT HAPPENED WAS WE HAD REQUESTED A CONTRACT FOR THE PUBLIC HEALTH INSPECTION FOR FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS IN THE CITY.
UM. WE ALSO WOULD ASK FOR THE MOSQUITO SPRAYING FOR THE GROUND. UH, THE DUNKS AND THE TABLETS AGO INTO STANDING WATER FOR MOSQUITO MITIGATION WITHIN THE CITY. UM WHEN WE GOT THE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, THEY ATTACH THAT CLAUSE IN THAT CONTRACT, WHICH IS A SEPARATE CONTRACT FOR AERIAL SPRAIN AND IN A CONTRACTING AMOUNT. IF WE WERE TO USE THOSE SERVICES, IT'S AN ADDENDUM OR AN ATTACK OR ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE WITHIN THE CONTRACT FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION SERVICES FOR IN THE EVENT THAT WE NEED MOSQUITO ARIEL BY PLANE FOR A LARGE OUTBREAK OF MOSQUITOES WITHIN THE CITY. THAT THEY UTILIZE FOR, LIKE CEDAR HILL OR RISOTTO, OR THE FOR A LARGER SWATH OF PROPERTY. SO THE COUNTY SUBMITTED A CONTRACT THAT HAD PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES INSPECTIONS, FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS. IF WE NEED THEM. THEY ALSO INCLUDED A CLAUSE THAT SAYS IF WE NEED AERIAL BIPLANE SPRAYING FOR LARGER AREAS IN CASE OF AN OUTBREAK. THEY WOULD GIVE US A RATE OF BASED ON A PROPORTIONAL SHARE OF OUR SPACE AND THE AMOUNT THAT'S BEING UTILIZED SO AS AN EXAMPLE. IF SOTO AND CEDAR HILL IN THE ENTIRE AREA STARTED USING THIS AIRPLANE SPRAYER WE WOULD PAY ARE PROPORTIONAL SHARE BASED ON WHAT THE ESTABLISHED RATE AT THE TIME WOULD BE. THAT'S WHAT'S IN THAT CONTRACT. NOW WE DON'T HAVE TO. CONTRACT WITH THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY ELIMINATE THAT. THE OTHER CONTRACT, WHICH IS FOR L IS THE CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE THAT ACTUALLY HAS A RATE OF $185 PER HOUR OF GROUND CONTROL, WHICH IS WHERE THEY BRING THE TRUCKS OUT. THEY SPREAD AROUND THE GROUND AERIAL SPRAY. IT'S VERY CONFUSING. SORRY SO WHY DID
[03:20:07]
THEY ADD THE AERIAL SPRING TO THE CONTRACT? FOR THE HEALTH INSPECTOR AND NOT TO THE CONTRACT FOR MOSQUITO FOR THE GROUND CONTROL. UH INTERESTINGLY , I DIDN'T GET A HOLD OF HIM. AH THIS AFTERNOON. I WANTED TO ASK THAT QUESTION. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE COME UP AND I SHOULD HAVE. I SHOULD HAVE SPOTTED WHEN I APPROVED THESE ITEMS ON THE STAFF REPORT, AND I DIDN'T SO THAT'S ON ME. THANKS FOR THE EXPLANATION. SO YOU KNOW, FIRST OF ALL, I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF THE AERIAL SPRING, BUT ESPECIALLY NOT IN THE CONTRACT ABOUT HEALTH INSPECTOR. BUT THEN ALSO. WHAT'S WHEN WE LOOK AT THE COST? OF. ARRANGEMENT WITH THE COUNTY COMPARED TO THE COST OF US. HIRING. NEW HEALTH INSPECTOR. AH, IS IT MORE OR LESS? SO WE CHARGED FOR HELP FOR A PUBLIC HEALTH INSPECTION OF FOOD ESTABLISHMENT WE CHARGE ABOUT $250. SO UNDER THIS CONTRACT, THEY'RE CHARGING US FOR A MINIMUM OF TWO INSPECTIONS . ONE BEGAN IN THE YEAR ONE AT THE END OF THE YEAR. AND IF THEY HAVE TO GO BACK FOR AN ESTABLISHMENT ENDS UP BEING 100, I THINK $108 WILL NOT MISTAKEN. TOP AND WE JUST GIVE YOU THAT EXACT AMOUNT. UM THAT'S WHY I'M SURE. $105 SO THEY GO BACK FOR A SECOND. FOR INSTANCE, IF YOU HAVE A HEALTH INSPECTION, THEY GO IN. THEY CHECK ON HIS DALLAS MINT. IT NEEDS TO BE FOLLOWED UP ON BECAUSE OF VIOLATIONS THAT MIGHT THAT MIGHT HAVE, OR WE CALL THEM TO DO IT AGAIN. IT'S $105. INITIAL INSPECTION IS $210 WE NORMALLY CHARGED 200. UH AND $50 FOR HEALTH INSPECTION, WHICH IS USUALLY ONCE A YEAR, UNLESS THERE'S A VIOLATION, AND WE HAVE TO CONTINUALLY GO BACK, AND THEN WE CHARGE ADDITIONAL FEES FOR THAT. WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 287 FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS IN THE CITY OF THEM AT MINIMUM ONCE A YEAR. SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THAT'S APPROXIMATELY $73,000 THAT WE CHARGED JUST FOR HEALTH INSPECTION SERVICES. IF WE DO EACH OF THEM ONE TIME A YEAR, BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT WE DO MULTIPLE TIMES A YEAR. SO DEPENDING ON WHAT WE PAY A HEALTH INSPECTOR, UH, IF YOU DO THE CALCULATION, YOU KNOW, IT'S DEBATABLE. UM BUT IF WE CHARGE 250, WE HIRED HIM CONSIDERABLY FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE. UM YOU KNOW, BUT HAVING OBVIOUSLY HEALTH INSPECTOR ON STAFF BEING ABLE TO RESPOND QUICKLY BEING ABLE TO ASSIST OTHER DEPARTMENTS, FOOD TRUCKS, ETCETERA. UH IT'S PROBABLY BENEFICIAL TO HAVE ONE ON STAFF.AND THIS CONTRACTORS THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30TH OF NEXT YEAR. SO IF WE WERE TO ACTUALLY HIRE HEALTH INSPECTOR BETWEEN NOW AND THEN WE'LL BE STILL BE BOUND TO THIS. NO, WE WOULD JUST USE THEM IN THE EVENT THAT WE NEED THEM OR IF OUR HEALTH INSPECTORS NOT AVAILABLE OR IN THE CASE OF WE HAVE A EVENT WHERE THERE'S A NUMBER OF FOOD TRUCKS ATTENDING AND WE NEED TO HAVE SOMEBODY COME AND ASSIST. IF A HEALTH INSPECTORS ON VACATION OR IS NOT AVAILABLE, GETS SICK, WHICH WE HAVE ON OCCASION OR AH IS RESIGNS, WHICH IS WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW, IN A SITUATION WHERE WE HAVEN'T HAD A HEALTH INSPECTOR FOR ABOUT A WEEK. UM WE HAVE ACTIVELY INTERVIEWED A COUPLE OF CANDIDATES AND WE SHOULD HAVE SOMEBODY PRETTY SOON. BUT AND IT HAS A RIGHT NOW. WE DON'T HAVE A HEALTH INSPECTOR. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. WE NEED HEALTH INSPECTOR. I MEAN, THAT'S OBVIOUS AND WE NEED THAT SERVICE PROVIDED. SO YOU KNOW, I'LL BE IN FAVOR OF THIS, BUT THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS. YES, SIR. MR CONTRERAS. HEY, MAYOR. YOU ANSWERED ONE OF MY QUESTIONS BECAUSE I HADN'T HEARD THIS TO THIS POINT. UM WE ARE PURSUING FILLING THE CURRENTLY OPEN HEALTH INSPECTOR POSITION. YES, SIR. AND THIS THIS WOULD BE BACK UP. HAD NO COST UNTIL WE USE THE SERVICES FROM THE COUNTY, BUT IT WOULD MAKE THEM AVAILABLE.
THAT'S CORRECT. AND I AGREE WITH YOU THAT ON THE BASIS OF HAVING, UM FULL TIME, INSPECTOR. THAT WE CAN ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES THAT COME UP THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND THROUGHOUT THE WEEK THAT REALLY MERIT A MORE IMMEDIATE RESPONSE THAT WE MIGHT GET FROM A COUNTY ASSIGNED HEALTH INSPECTOR THAT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME. WE NEED THEM. THAT'S CORRECT. UM. BUT. COMING BACK TO THE MOSQUITO SPRAYING, NOT THE AERIAL, THE GROUND SPRING. THAT'S AN ANNUAL CONTRACT AND I THINK YOU SAID THAT A MINUTE AGO. THAT'S AN ANNUAL CONTRACT THAT WE RENEW EVERY YEAR. YES, SIR. AND THAT'S WHERE I'M DISCONNECTED BECAUSE TO ME THAT THE STAND ALONE RESOLUTION THAT SHOULD COME TO US BECAUSE THAT'S THE WAY IT'S ALWAYS BEEN DONE IN THE PAST, IT STANDS ON ITS OWN MERITS NOT CONNECTED TO MOSQUITO SPRAYING. I'M SORRY. IT'S NOT CONNECTED TO HEALTH INSPECTIONS . IT'S JUST SIMPLY. NOT SO MUCH A RENEWAL. BUT WE ARE WE ARE SIGNING UP AGAIN TO HAVE THE
[03:25:02]
AVAILABILITY. OF THE COUNTY MOSQUITO ABATEMENT PROGRAMS, INCLUDING AND THAT HASN'T BEEN MENTIONED, BUT THEY PROVIDE TESTING. UH THAT THAT THEY SAID TRAPS UP THROUGHOUT THE CITY.FOR US AS A PART OF THIS CONTRACT, CORRECT. OKAY, SO UM. THAT'S WHAT WHAT WAS CONFUSING TO ME IS WHAT? WHY? WHY ARE THEY JOINED TOGETHER? UM, ONE WAS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A ROUTINE STAMP ON ITS OWN RESOLUTION TO APPROVE RENEWAL IS THE FIRST YEAR THEY'VE DONE THIS, AND I THINK I HEARD AND I UNDERSTAND IT. WHEN THE COUNTY THROWS SOMETHING AT US, THAT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. UM WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO TALK WITH THEM ABOUT. NOT LIKING IT. AND EVEN IF WE DID NOT SURE THEY CHANGE THEIR MINDS ABOUT ITSELF. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE BEING SUBJECTED TO.
I'M FINE. WE'VE GOT TO DO WHAT WE GOTTA DO TO GET ALONG BECAUSE ALL THESE THINGS ARE IMPORTANT.
SO I. I'VE HEARD ENOUGH THAT I WOULD ALSO SUPPORT WHERE WE'RE HEADED ON THIS SO THAT WE CAN GET OUR BUSINESS TAKEN CARE OF. THANK YOU, MAYOR. IF YOU WANT TO TAKE BOTH, UM KAY AND L TOGETHER. I WAS GOING TO MAKE THAT SUGGESTION. SINCE THIS CONVERSATION CONVERSATIONS HAVE INCLUDED BOTH EVEN THOUGH I HAVEN'T READ L WE HAVE TOUCHED ON BOTH BECAUSE THE CONTRACTOR INCOMING POSTED AND YOU'VE REFERRED TO IT AS WORRY OF MOVED IT TOO. SO I THINK WE MENTIONED BEFORE AND MR CONTRERAS TOUCHED ON MENTIONED WHILE WE'RE IN BRIEFING SESSION THAT THE CONTRACTS CAME TO US AS CONSTRUCTED BY THE COUNTY, WE DID NOT CHOOSE TO MAKE ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE CONTRACT. WE ACCEPTED THEM AS THEY WERE PROBABLY NOT BEGINNING TO YOUR OKAY. SOMETHING IS LITTLE DIFFERENT BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A CURRENT. AND SO THEY LOCKED IN AERIAL SPRAYING SINCE THEY WERE SIGNING AN AGREEMENT THAT WE HAVE HERE TWO FOREIGN THAT SIGNED WITH THEM. SO THAT'S WHY THAT'S CONFUSING TO NOT MISTAKEN THE COUNTY. UM AVAILABILITY TO GET ON BOARD WITH AERIAL SPRAYING, IF NEEDED, IS ALWAYS AN OPEN DOOR. IS THAT CORRECT? WE DON'T HAVE TO SIGN ANYTHING NOW ON THAT ISSUE BECAUSE AND I THINK MR COONS TOUCHED ON THIS ONCE WE TALKED ABOUT SPRAYING GROUND SPRAIN. UM NEVER WILL YOU GET THE BLOWBACK YOU GET WHEN YOU TALK TO THE PUBLIC ABOUT BRINGING AIRPLANES OVER AND INDISCRIMINATELY DROPPING SPRAY. I THINK I DON'T REMEMBER ANY INCIDENTS WHERE THAT WAS REQUIRED IN THIS PART OF DALLAS COUNTY, SO I DON'T SUSPECT IT WOULD BE USED, BUT THE MERE THOUGHT OF IT. UM, IS. SOMETHING THAT WILL HAVE TO ADDRESS WITH OUR PUBLIC IF WE EVER GO THAT WAY, SO IT'S AN INTERESTING POINT, AND THIS MAY SPEAK TO WHY THEY DID IT THIS WAY. THE WAY THE CONTRACT IS WRITTEN. IT GIVES US THE OPTION TO SEND THEM NOTIFICATION IN WRITING THAT WE WOULD LIKE FOR THEM TO PROCEED WITH THAT. AT A PRICE TO BE DETERMINED AT THAT TIME, SO IT DOESN'T GIVE YOU AN EXACT TIME. I'M SORRY AND THE EXACT PRICE OR SAY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT.
IT'S INTERESTING THE WAY IT'S WRITTEN GUARANTEE YOU IT'S EXPENSIVE. AS WELL. SO ON TOP OF THE IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY AND ANIMALS AND GET EVERYBODY IN THE HOUSE AT ONE TIME AND AGAIN. I DON'T SUSPECT WE'LL EVER USE THIS BECAUSE I CAN'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I HEARD OF ANYBODY IN DALLAS COUNTY USING IT, BUT THE EXPENSES IS THE SHARED EXPENSES. VERY COSTLY. OBVIOUSLY I'M NOT A LAWYER, BUT THAT MAY BE ONE OF THE REASONS WHY IT'S WRITTEN THE WAY IT IS BECAUSE MAYBE THEY DON'T ANTICIPATE YOU USING IT, AND THEY PUT IT AS A PLACE HOLDER IN THE EVENT THAT YOU WANT TO DO IT. YOU NOTIFY THEM THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO PROCEED AND IT GIVES YOU THE ABILITY TO DO THAT. THAT MAY BE WHY IT'S I'M NOT A LAWYER THAT MAYBE JUST I'M JUST SAYING IT'S INTERESTING THAT IT'S DONE THIS WAY. AS WE PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED. PUTTING THESE TWO ITEMS TOGETHER . I THINK THAT IT WOULD BE YEAH, ACCEPTABLE WITH THE CHAIR WOULD ACCEPT THE MOTION TO COMBINE APPROVALS FROM BOTH ITEMS K AND L, WHICH MAKES THEM ITEM FIVE K AND FIVE L ON THE ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSENT, SO MOVE MOTION TO APPROVE ITEMS K AND L TOGETHER. IS THERE A SECOND SECONDLY, MR BARRETT CRUZ, PLEASE VOTE. THANK YOU. UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED ITEMS K NL NOW BECOME ITEMS FIVE K AND FIVE L INDIVIDUAL CONSENT. THANK YOU. I'M SORRY I WAS GOOD. YOU HAD ANOTHER THOUGHT. I'M SORRY. YES, UM WE APPROVED IT. I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT UM, CITY MANAGER INNER CITY MANAGER IF I CAN MAKE A REQUEST TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE MODIFICATION IS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 24 BUDGET BECAUSE BOTH OF THOSE ITEMS WERE AT 19 0 55 EACH , BUT WHAT I SEE HERE IN THE BUDGET IS ONLY 19,000. SO IS THAT NEARLY 41,000. AND WE'RE ADDING AN ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO IT OR WAS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN JUST ALL ALL TOGETHER JUST AT 1955. SO IF I COULD JUST GET SOME
[03:30:05]
