>> THANK YOU. >> MR. GARZA DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER ITEMS UNDER EMPLOYEE

[3. Items from Council:]

RECOGNITION? >> NO, SIR. >> NUMBER 3, ITEMS FROM COUNCIL.

WE HAVE ONE ITEM. THERE I WOULD LIKE TO GO AROUND FIRST SEE IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE

TO SAY SOMETHING. >> I WOULD LIKE TOW COMPLIMENT, EXPLORE VICTORIA NOTHING BUT COMPLIMENTS ABOUT THEIR PRESENCE ON FACEBOOK. GREAT JOB WHOEVER DOES THE POST IF IT IS JOEL OR SOMEBODY ELSE THEY'RE DOING A VERY GOOD JOB, THANK YOU.

>> I DO IT AT 2 IN THE MORNING. >> BEFORE HE GETS MICHAEL READY. >> ANYBODY HAVE AN ITEM?

>> WE'LL TURN IT OVER TO MR. CROCER. >> I DID ASK A SPECIFIC ITEM TO BE OUT ON THERE TO START WHAT I HOPE IS A PRODUCTIVE DISCUSSION ABOUT SOMETHING THAT TO ME IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST COMMENTED THINGS THAT I HERE BOTH WHEN I WAS RUNNING FOR OFFICE, BUT ALSO NOW THAT I'M UP HERE AND IT IS CONCERNS ABOUT PROPERTY APPRAISAL VALUES IN VICTORIA. VICTORIA COUNTY AS A WHOLE. AND IT GOES BEYOND, I GUESS, YOU KNOW, I FEEL MY APPRAISAL IS TOO HIGH. WHAT I'M HEARING IS PEOPLE HAVE A FEELING RIGHT OR WRONG THAT THERE IS NOT CONSISTENT ANY THE APPRAISALS, THERE ARE APPLES BEING COMPARED TO ORANGES TO USE AN EUPHEEMISM AND EXPRESSED TO ME A DISTRUST IN THE APPRAISAL PROCESS I SEE AS A BIG PROBLEM. FROM MY STANDPOINT, EVEN FROM THE CITY FROM TAXINGBY IS IF YOUR CITIZENS DON'T HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE APPRAISAL PROCESS, YOUR TAX RATE, THEY'RE LOOKING AT, THAT BUT OBVIOUSLY, BUT ABOUT WHAT THE APPRAISAL IT IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT I THINK AT LEAST BY MY ESTIMATION HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE IN TERMS OF PEOPLE HAVING THOSE CONCERNS AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE, I DON'T KNOW IF IT HAS BEEN ADDRESSED.

I WAS LOOKING AT WAYS HOW DO WE DO THIS. HOW CAN WE FIX THIS PROBLEM WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY WITH PERCEPTIONS THAT CITIZENS HAVE ABOUT THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

>> THESE FOLKS ARE BASICALLY -- I'LL DESCRIBE THEM AS THE APEX OF THE APPRAISAL INDUSTRY IN TERMS OF THEY SET THE STANDARDS THEY SET THE PROTOCOLS, THEY SET THE BEST BEST PRACTICES FOR APPRAISAL PROFESSIONALS. OUR VICTORIA CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT RECOGNIZE THIS ORGANIZATION AND I THINK 2021 REAPPRAISAL PLAN, THEY SPECIFICALLY SAY THIS IS AN ORGANIZATION THAT SET THE STANDARD THAT WE FOLLOW. SO # IN LOOKING THAT AT THAT ORGANIZATION THEY HAVE A COMPONENT CALLED PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING SERVICES AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THIS COMPONENT DOES IS THEY CAN YOU CAN ACTUALLY HIRE THEM TO DO WHAT THEY CALL A GAP ANALYSIS. WHAT THEY'RE BASICALLY DOING IS LOOKING FOR, WHAT ARE WE DOING RIGHT? WHAT CAN WE IMPROVE ON HOW DO WE TAKE A DISTRICT THAT IS FUNCTIONING AND MAKE IT BETTER, OKAY, WHICH I THINK IS REALLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR HERE THEY DO THAT THROUGH A PROCESS THAT INVOLVES QUESTIONNAIRES THAT GOES TO THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT, ACTUALLY PEOPLE AT THE DISTRICT, THEY FOLLOW THAT UP WITH IN-HOUSE INTERVIEWS INTERVIEWS E DATA AND LOOK AT VARIOUS RECORDS IN ORDER TO DO THAT AND THE SCOPE OF WHAT THEY CAN DO IS PRETTY EXTENSIVE THEY LOOK AT MANAGEMENT AND STAFFING ENVIRONMENT, QUALITY ASSURANCE, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY MAPPING, USE OF PROPERTY CODES PROPERTY DATA COLLECTION AND MAINTENANCE

[00:15:02]

THOSE ARE KIND OF THE CATCH-ALL CATEGORIES THESE FOLKS CAN COME IN AND TAKE A LOOK AT.

YOU KNOW, FROM MY STANDPOINT -- AND ONCE THEY DO THAT, THEY GET ANSWERS AND VERIFY, DO THESE ANSWERS MATCH UP WITH WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN THE DATA WITH WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN THE RESULT? IT IS REALLY, THEY'RE LOOKING MORE AT THE RESULTS TO SAY, ARE THESE BEING ACHIEVED GOING THROUGH THE PROPER PROCEDURE? THIS IS BASED ON MY UNDERSTANDING WITH DISCUSSIONS THIS ORGANIZATION. SO BUT AT THE ENDS THEY GIVE YOU A FINAL REPORT AND THIS REPORT SAYS HERE IS OUR FINDINGS. HERE IS WHERE WE THINK THINGS ARE APPROPRIATE HERE IS WHERE WE THINK WE NEED HELP AND HAVE IMPROVEMENTS AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ON HERE IS HOW YOU CAN IMPROVE SO IT DOESN'T JUST GIVE YOU KIND OF A SNAPSHOT OF OKAY, HERE IS THE PROBLEM, IT IS HERE IS SOME THINGS WE SAW WE COULD DO BETTER AND HERE IS OUR PATH GOING FORWARD TO MAKE THOSE THINGS BETTER WHICH IF YOU'RE GOING DO THAT LET'S NOT IDENTIFY THE ISSUE BUT HOW DO WE FIX IT.

SO THE BASE COST OF THAT, AGAIN, OBVIOUSLY YOU'VE GOT TO IS SURPRISINGLY TO ME WAS $25,000 IS THEIR BASE COST TO COME IN AND DO THAT KIND OF OVERALL APPRAISAL DEPENDING WHAT MIX YOU HAVE OF COMMERCIAL ANDING A, BUT FOR A FAIRLY STANDARD MIX OF PROPERTIES WITHIN A DISTRICT THAT IS THE BASE COST SO, YOU KNOW, WHAT I WAS HOPING TO DO BY BRINGING THIS UP WAS TO PASS THAT INFORMATION ALONG TO YOU GUYS ON COUNCIL BUT ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US ENCOURAGE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT TO LOOK INTO DOING ONE OF THESE THIRD PARTY REVIEWS AND ALSO ENCOURAGE OTHER GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES, OTHER TAXING ENTITIES TO ENCOURAGE THAT SAME THING, PRIMARILY NOT BECAUSE I THINK THERE IS ANYTHING THAT THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT IS DOING WRONG, BUT I THINK IT IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR THE CITIZENS TO RESPOND TO THEIR QUESTIONS AND THEIR CONCERNS TO SAY, HEY, THIS IS SOMETHING WE CAN DO TO HAVE A THIRD PARTY COME IN AND TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE CITIZENS HAVE CONFIDENCE IN WHAT THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT IS DOING. I'M BRINGING IT UP, OPEN FOR

DISCUSSION NOW, LATER OR WHENEVER. >> I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROSPECT. I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR WAYS AND I'VE BEEN SITTING ON THAT BOARD OF JUST GETTING TO THE SAME ISSUE THAT I HEAR THAT Y'ALL HEAR ALL THE TIME AND IT HAS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT IN MY OPINION TO GET THE ANSWERS AND PROBABLY BECAUSE I DON'T ASK THE QUESTIONS QUITE RIGHT, BUT I THINK A FIRM LIKE THIS WOULD ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS AND AT LEAST ALLEVIATE FEARS OF BEING DONE WRONG OR IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE IMPROVED DO IT.

THANK YOU MR. CROCKER FOR BRINGING THIS. THE COMPTROLLER DOES DO AN AUDIT EVERY TWO YEARS, BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THERE IS SOME TYPE OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO.

>> THE COMP PATROLLER -- COMPTROLLER PROCESS IS BASED ON A SELF-ANSWERED QUESTIONNAIRE THAT IS A YES OR NO AND RECOMMENDATIONS BASED OFF OF THAT.

I THINK THERE IS SOME FOLLOW UP TO THAT BUT AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THE DIFFERENCE IN WHAT THIS ORGANIZATION WOULD DO QUESTIONNAIRE PROCESS, SIMILAR INTERVIEW PROCESS, BUT THEN ALSO GO THROUGH AND ACTUALLY VERIFY, OKAY, WE KNOW THIS IS A YES OR NO ANSWER, BUT DOES THE DATA MATCH UP THAT THAT IS THE RIGHT ANSWER, YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT WAS A YES AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING DIFFERENT BECAUSE OF SOMETHING THAT WAS UNKNOWN WHEN THE QUESTION WAS ANSWERED.

I THINK IT IS A VERY SIMILAR PROCESS, BUT AS I UNDERSTAND IT THIS IS A MORE IN-DEPTH

PROVIDES. >> AND THAT 25 TO $30,000 COST, WHATEVER IT IS, WOULD YOU AGREE SHOULD BE SPLIT BETWEEN THE ENTITIES THAT MAKE UP THE CAD? AND IT WOULD PROBABLY BE BEST IF THE BOARD WAS THE ONE THAT REQUESTED THIS OR SAID THERE IS GOING TO BE DONE IT IS PROBABLY BEST COMING FROM THE BOARD. THEY WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND THAT BASICALLY GIVES AUTHORIZATION TO OPEN UP BOOKS, OPEN UP, YOU KNOW, THE RECORD AND THAT SORT OF THING I THINK

IT IS IMPORTANT FOR CITIZENS AS A WHOLE. >>> THE BEST THING WE CAN DO AS

[00:20:02]

>> I THINK MOST. >> MOST APPROPRIATE WAY. >>> DEPENDS ON YOU AND HOW MUCH FORCE YOU WANT TO BULL BEHIND THAT REQUEST. I THINK A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT THAT COMES FROM COUNCIL AND FORMALLY ADOPTED THREATENED SUPPORT OF THE ENTIRE CITY PROCESS TO THIS EFFORT AND WOULD SENDS A STRONG MESSAGE THIS IS WHAT YOU BELIEVE OUR CITIZENS

WANT TO SEE HAPPEN. >> CERTAINLY IN FAVOR OF THAT. >> I THINK THAT THE LAST TWO

YEARS HAS BEEN THE NUMBER ONE QUESTION. >> EVERYONE IS COMPLAINING ABOUT

THEIR APPRAISAL. >> IRONIC YOU BROUGHT IT UPSINCE YOU'VE BEEN ON THE BOARDS DO YOU HAVE A FEEL FOR THE PEOPLE ON THE BOARD IF THEY WANT TO DO HE IN THEY WOULD HAVE TO COME ON

BOARD, RIGHT? >> YES, AND I THINK IT MIGHT BE SOME EDUCATION WITH MAYBE SOME

OF THE SCHOOL BOARD REPRESENTATIVES. >> OKAY, AS WELL AS THE COUNTY.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WAS TALKED ABOUT BETWEEN COUNTY JUDGE AND MR. MCCOY.

IT WAS AN IDEA THAT HAS BEEN FLOATING OUT THERE FOR A WHILE. SO I THINK THAT THE COUNTY IS AWARE OF IT TO SOME DEGREE MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TALK WITH THE BOARD MEMBERS.

THAT IS REALLY THE MAKEUP OF THE BOARD THERE IS FIVE, ONE FROM THE COUNTY, ONE FROM THE CITY AND THREE FROM THE AND THE OTHER ENTITIES, LIKE THE PORT AND VICTORIA COLLEGE AND DRAINAGE DISTRICT MIGHT GET A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR IT BUT DON'T HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE ON THE BOARD.

>> I THINK THAT IT WOULD BENEFIT EVERYBODY, BECAUSE, ONCE YOU GET EVERYBODY ON A PLAYING FIELD, PEOPLE AREN'T AS ASPECT TO GO OVER THERE -- APT AND GO OVER THERE AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS OR

THAT. >> TRUST IN THE PROCESS. >> I'M NOT HOLDING THIS OUT THERE AS THE MAGIC WAND, BUT, CERTAINLY FROM THE STANDPOINT OF ADDRESSES, I WANT SOMEONE TO TAKE A LOOK AT AND IT TELL ME, WHERE IS THE PROCESS? WHERE IS IT NEED IMPROVEMENT? SO I JUST SEE THIS AS A FIRST STEP MOVING FORWARD TO KIND OF QUELL THOSE CONCERNS.

>> I THANK YOU FOR LOOKING INTO AND IT DOING THE RESEARCH AND BRINGING IT TO US, IT IS -- WAS CAD CALLED A RATIO STUDY THE COMPTROLLER DOES DID THECA CAD LOOK AT THE 2020 STUDY, I LOOKED AT IT, IT IS ON-LINE AND WHAT IT IS, VARIANCES AND IF YOU FALL OUT OF THE VARIANCES AND ACTUALLY ACCORDING TO THAT STUDY, IT IS OUT OF THE VARIANCES.

AND IF THEY DO THAT AGAIN, THEN THEY WOULD SUFFER A WIG BIGGER AUDIT FROM THE COMPTROLLER'S

OFFICE IN 2022 THEY WOULD HAVE ANOTHER AUDIT BUT HAS THE CAD. >> WE TALKED ABOUT THAT, THAT WAS SOME OF THE RATIONAL BEHIND RATIONALE HIRING THIS COMPANY AND PROVIDES INFORMATION TO THE

COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE. >> I HAVE ASKED TO SPEAK TO THESE REPRESENTATIVES BUT THEY WON'T COME TO THE MEETING, BUT IT IS TRANSUNION, WHICH IS A CREDIT ROARING AGENCY.

SO I THINK THEY'RE GETTING AROUND THE STATE LAWS, THIS IS MY OPINION, BY PULLING THOSE PEOPLE THAT GO FOR MORTGAGE AND THEY GET THEIR CREDIT RECORD DONE, SO THEY KNOW HOW MUCH THAT THE HOUSE IS GOING TO BE WORTH. AND THEY HAVE THIS DATABASE THAT THEN THEY SELL TO SOME OTHER PARTY THAT SELLS IT OR, YOU KNOW, CONTRACTS TWA THE COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE AND OUR CAD. THAT IS WHAT THE COMPTROLLER IS USING TO SAY THESE SHOULDN'T YOUR VALUES AND SO THE CAD THIS YEAR WENT INTO CONTRACT WITH THEM TO GET THE SAME

INFORMATION. >> AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THE COMPTROLLER'S PROCESS, THE MAP STUDY THEY DO, IT IS METHODS AND ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. I WROTE IT DOWN, I THINK IT IS AN EVERY OTHER YEAR PROCESS AND I THINK IN THE OTHER YEARS, THE OFF YEARS OF THAT IS WHEN THEY DO THE RATIO PROPERTY EVALUATION STUDY, TWO SETS AS I UNDERSTAND IT AND I COULD BE WRONG ON THAT.

>> I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD IF A PRIVATE COMPANY DID IT MYSELF. I REALLY DO.

>> OKAY, MR. GOODE GWOSDZ IF YOU WOULD PREPARE A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR THIS, I WOULD

APPRECIATE IT. >> I COULD BRING THAT BACK TO THE NEXT MEETING.

[00:25:01]

>> ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ON ITEMS FROM COUNCIL? >> ALL RIGHT, WE'LL CLOSE THAT

[4. Citizen Communication:]

HEARINGS, SO, WE'LL HAVE MR. SWANSON. >> REMIND EVERYBODY, THREE

MINUTES TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL. >> HI. GOOD EVENING.

>> GOOD EVENING. >> GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL, I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU'RE SMILING FACES, TOO. YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A TIME WHEN EVERYBODY HAD A FROWN ON THEIR FACE BUT IT IS GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK IN GOOD FIGHTING SHAPE. SO I DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF TIME SO I'VE GOT TO GET TO IT. I GOT A IDEA. AND I THOUGHT I WOULD BOUNCE IT ON Y'ALL AND IT DEALS WITH YOU'RE TRYING TO HELP THE DOWNTOWN AREA.

NOT ALWAYS CLEAR TO ME WHY, BUT THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK WOULD REALLY DRAW PEOPLE, TRY PUTTING A WORLD'S FASTEST INTERNET DOWN HERE.

AND I MEAN, YOU'RE GOING GET A LOT OF PEOPLE. AND HOWEVER BIG YOU WANT TO MAKE DOWNTOWN, AND IT DOESN'T REALLY HAVE TO COST YOU ANYTHING. YOU JUST HAVE TO ENABLE THE COMPANIES TO DO IT. YOU HAVE TO FIGURE OUT, YOU KNOW, HOW THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT THE WAY THEY WANT TO DO IT. IT IS PULLING CABLE, RIGHT? IT IS -- NOT ETHERNET, THE FIBER CABLES NOW AND GIVING THEM THE KNOW HOW, HOW TO DO IT. WE'RE STUCK WITH SUDDEN LINK BECAUSE THEY BOUGHT THE CABLE FROM SOMEBODY WHEN CABLES WERE INVENTED BACK YOU KNOW WHEN, YOU KNOW, BUT ANYWAY, BUT YOU'D BE SURPRISED IF YOU MAKE THAT WE'RE THE WORLD'S FASTEST COME DOWN HERE AND TRY IT OUT, SEE WHAT FAST IS. SO I HAVE A MORE SERIOUS QUESTION FOR YOU, AND THAT IS I DON'T FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED TO NAVARRO, BUT WE HAVE GONE FROM BEING A LEFT-TURN CITY TO A U-TURN CITY. AND MY QUESTION IS, I COME TO AN INTERSECTION, I NEED TO MAKE A U-TURN, RIGHT? AND THE GUY ON THE RIGHT OVER HERE HAS A RIGHT ON RED CAPABILITY. WE RUN INTO A CONFLICT THERE.

WHO HAS THE RIGHT OF WAY? DO I HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY BECAUSE I'M MAKING A U-TURN OR DOES THE GUY WHO IS MAKING A RIGHT ON RED HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY BECAUSE I'M INTRUDER FROM SOME OTHER SO ANYWAY, THAT IS AN ISSUE I HAVE TO DEAL WITH. I DIDN'T INTEND TO TALK ABOUT WHAT Y'ALL TALKED ABOUT EARLIER ON THE CAD. BUT MY SUGGESTION IS, FIB THAT COMPLAINS ABOUT THEM HAVE THEY PROTESTED? THEY'RE VERY GOOD ABOUT PROTESTING AND THEY'VE GOT GOOD INFORMATION. SO GIVE THAT A SHOT.

ALL RIGHT, GOOD LUCK, THANK YOU FOR BEING BACK AND THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID DURING THE COVID

CRISIS. Y'ALL HAVE A GREAT EVENING. >> YOU, TOO.

>> IF YOU GET THE OPPORTUNITY THIS WEEK OR NEXT WEEK, VISIT WITH DEREK, THERE HE IS, HE'S BEHIND YOU, HE HAS GREAT INFORMATION ABOUT BROADBAND AND WHAT WE'VE BEEN STUDYING, HE'S BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS IT IS RIGHT IN LINE WITH PART OF YOUR IDEAS AND THEN JUST WAND TO REMIND PEOPLE, NAVARRO WAS TXDOT, I'M NOT A LAWYER OR POLICE OFFICER, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO GUESS THOSE WERE THE GREEN LIGHT WITH THE RIGHT OF WAY.

SO THANK YOU. >> GOOD WAY TO SAY IT. >> OKAY ANYWHERE CITIZEN COMMUNICATION THAT DIDN'T FILL OUT A CARD? CLOSING THAT AND GOING TO ITEMS

[1. An ordinance amending and readopting Chapter 4 of the City Code of Ord...]

WITH PUBLIC HEARING, WE HAVE C1. >> CEM C1 IS AMENDING AND ADOPTING READOPTING CHAPTER 4 OF

CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES RELATING TO ANIMALS AND FOWL. >> MR. GWOSDZ IS GOING TO GIVE US A SHORT PRESENTATION AND WE'LL ENTERTAIN MOTION AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING.

>> GOOD EVENING. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, WHAT WE'LL HOPEFULLY BE THE SHORTEST PRESENTATION ON ANIMAL CONTROL WE'VE HAD IN THE LAST HAS IT BEEN MONTHS NOW, WE ARE NOW AT THE VERY BOTTOM LINE OF OUR TIMELINE. THIS IS T A AND PROBABLY FINAL READING OF THE ANIMAL CONTROL ORDINANCE. AND SO BEFORE I GO INTO THE ONE

[00:30:05]

TO HER. >> AS YOU SEE IN RED, WE DID POST THIS FOR A PUBLIC HEARING TONIGHT AS I'VE BEEN PREVIEWING OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MEETINGS. THERE IS STATE LEGISLATION MOVING THROUGH THAT WOULD TAKE OVER SOME OF WHAT WE HAD PROPOSED IN OUR CITY CODE AND SO TONIGHT I'M PROPOSING WE DELETE SECTION 4-35 OUT OF OUR CODE THAT WOULD HAVE IMPLEMENTED AN UNLAWFUL RESTRAINT OF DOG STANDARD. PART OF THE TEST IS THERE ON THE SLIDE. THERE IS ADDITIONAL TEXT IN THE CODE AS WELL.

THAT HAS NOW BEEN ADOPTED BY THE STATE LEGISLATURE. IT WAS SENT TO THE GOVERNOR AND THE GOVERNOR DID SIGN INTO IT LAW. AND SO IT IS NO LONGER NECESSARY FOR US TO ADOPT THAT IN OUR CODE IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE WE STAY CONSISTENT WITH STATE LAW, MY RECOMMENDATION IS WE SIMPLY REMOVE FRIT OUR CODE UPON FINAL ADOPTION TONIGHT.

I HAVE ONE PROPOSED AMENDMENT IN FRONT OF YOU AND SIMPLY STRIKES THIS ONE SECTION AS WELL AS A FEW DEFINITIONS THAT ARE IN THE DEFINITION SECTION AND ONLY TOTAL THIS ONE SECTION WHEN IT'S APPROPRIATE I'LL REQUEST THE MAYOR ENTER A MOTION. THAT IS THE ONLY CHANGE BASED ON WHAT WE'VE SEEN AND HEARD SO FAR. I DO HAVE A SLIDE FOR ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD OR WANT TO BRING UP TONIGHT.

>> IT GOES INTO EFFECT 90 DAYS AFTER THE DATE THAT WAS IF END OF THE SESSION.

I WOULD HAVE TO DO THE MATH BUT ABOUT THE BEGINNINGS AFTER THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.

>>> MIDDLE OF JAN? >> I THINK THAT IS CORRECT. >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU AT THIS TIME WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING JUST A REMINDER TO STATE YOUR NAME AND YOU HAVE THREE

MINUTES, WE HAVE MICHAEL VON DER VEAUX. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, COUNCIL AND MAYOR PROITEM, WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH DOG ATTACKS AND SPECIFICALLY I'M TALKING ABOUT THE POLICE OFFICER ATTACKED BY TWO PIT BULLS AND I WOULD LIKE ANIMAL CONTROL TO LET THE MUNICIPAL COURT JUDGE KNOW ABOUT THIS AND THE JP JUDGE WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE OF THAT JURISDICTION.

WHAT HAPPENS, IT IS ALWAYS THE SAME, THEY GET -- THEY WRITE A TICKET FOR DOGS AT LARGE AND DIDN'T GET THE RABIES SHOT. BUT THE MUNICIPAL COURT OR CITY COUNCIL, CITY ATTORNEY, COUNTY ATTORNEY, THEY DON'T KNOW THOSE DOGS, YOU KNOW, BIT A COP, YOU KNOW AND CHASED HIM DOWN AND THEY HAD TO USE WEAPONS AND IT WOULD BE NICE IF ANIMAL CONTROL COULD WRITE A REPORT TO THE MUNICIPAL COURT JUDGE OR THE JP AND LET THEM KNOW OR ANY TIME THERE IS A DOG ATTACK BECAUSE THERE IS LOTS OF DOG ATTACKS THAT NEVER BE REPORTED. AND ANOTHER THING ANIMAL CONTROL DOES, THEY HAVE THESE $75 NONCRIMINAL TICKETS THEY GIVE YOU, THE DOG GETS TRAPPED TEN TIMES IN A YEAR -- OF COURSE, I'M EXAGGERATING AND NO ONE KNOWS THAT ANIMAL CONTROL GOT IT AND THEY TRAPPED IT YOU TRAP THE DOG IN THE TRAP AND NEXT MORNING HE'S BACK ON YOUR PROPERTY AND THE MUNICIPAL COURT JUDGE DON'T KNOW, THE CITY COUNCIL DON'T AND I WISH THEY COULD JUST GO THROUGH THE HUGE NICE PAL COURT AND GIVE THEM THE $275 TICKETS. BUT YOU'VE GOT TO SPEAK LOUDLY AND CARRY A BIG STICK WHEREVER YOU GO IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE SOME KIND OF LAW TO PROTECT POLICE OFFICERS OVER THESE DANGEROUS DOGS, BECAUSE TWO PIT BULLS ARE CHASING PLAY-OFFS IT WOULD BE NICE THE IF THE CITY ATTORNEY COULD COME UP WITH A MUNICIPAL COURT FIND, DOG BITES COP OR AGGRESSIVE DOG, SOMETHING THEY COULDIFIED BECAUSE THE JUDGES DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS AND THE JUDGES MAY NOT READ THE NEWSPAPER EVERY DAY. AND THANKS AND HAVE A GOOD DAY

[00:35:07]

APPRECIATE IT. >> ACTUALLY BE BRIEF TONIGHT, I DO WANT TO THANK MR. GWOSDZ, THEY HAVE DONE AN INCREDIBLE JOB OF TRYING TO WORK THROUGH A HORRIBLE ISSUE.

AND I -- A DIFFICULT ISSUE AND WORKING ON ANIMAL ISSUE AND SHELTER ISSUE ON BEHALF OF THE PEOPLE HERE AS WELL AS THE COUNTY THROUGH THE INNERLOCAL, HE'S BEEN OUT THERE, AND HOPEFULLY WE'RE MOVING TOWARDS THINGS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN DONE THAT ABSOLUTELY NEED TO BE DONE.

I WELCOME THE TWO OF YOU TO GET TOGETHER AND HOPEFULLY BE THE INNERLOCAL COOPERATION BETWEEN THE ENTITIES THE ONLY ISSUE I'M HERE FOR IS A VERY SIMPLE ONE AND I'VE TALKED TO MR. GWOSDZ TONIGHT ABOUT IT. AS HE TOLD YOU LAST TIME, HE'S GOING TO BE BRINGING BACK A COMMITTEE TO EXPLORE IMPOUNDING DOGS AND ANIMALS, HOW TO DO IT WITH OTHER REASONS -- CONDITIONS, REQUIREMENTS WHAT I'M ASKING IS UNDER 4-23 OF YOUR CODE, IT IS ONE THAT SAYS ANIMAL CONTROL MAY IMPOUNDS AN ANIMAL FOR ANY VIOLATION HERE-UNDER. THE PROBLEM NOWHERE IN YOUR ORDINANCE IN THE ARTICLE DOES IT GIVE ANIMAL CONTROL THE AUTHORITY TO IMPOUND AN ANIMAL WITH THE OWNER OR LICENSED VETERINARIAN ONLY IF IT IS RAIN BYES OR A BITE.

THE PROBLEM IS, I FORESEE AND DON'T WANT TO SEE WHERE ANIMAL CONTROL SAYS, WE'D LIKE TO LEAVE WITH IT THE OWNER. WE'D LIKE TO TAKE FOYT A VET, BUT ACCORDING TO THE ARTICLE FROM THE COUNCIL, WE DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY. SIMPLY PUT NOW UNTIL HE CAN EMPOWER THAT PANEL I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A SENTENCE, A SIMPLE SENTENCE THAT JUST SAYS ANIMAL CONTROL "MAY" IMPOUND ANY ANIMAL WITH THE OWNER OR LICENSE VETERINARIAN, STILL NOT MANDATORY BUT GIVES THEM THE AUTHORITY THEY SAY THEY'RE GOING TO EXERCISE ANYWAY.

I'M JUST TRY FOG MAKE THE TWO GO TOGETHER UNTIL WE CAN WORK THROUGH A MORE COMPREHENSIVE ONE, SO OTHER THAN THAT, THE THIRD READING WE'LL L GO THROUGH WITHOUT A HITCH, BUT IN 4-23, A SIMPLE STATEMENT THAT THEY MAY ALLOW IMPOUNDMENT WITH THE OWNER OR LICENSED VETERINARIAN WOULD GIVE THEM NOT THE REQUIREMENT BUT THE AUTHORITY PASS THAT I WANT TO THANK YOU Y'ALL FOR YOUR

TIME. >> I HOPE YOU'LL VISIT US MORE OFTEN THAN JUST ON ANIMAL

CONTROL I'M SURE OF IT. >> AT THIS TIME WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ENTERTAIN ANY

MOTIONS. >> I MOVE WE ADOPT C1. >> SECOND.

>> WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND. TO ADOPT NEW CODE. ANYBODY CARE TO MAKE A MOTION

FOR AMENDMENT? >> I MOVE THAT WE MAKE THE AMENDMENT PRESENTED IN THE SLATE OF AMENDMENTS THAT REMOVES FROM DEFINITIONS, COLLAR HARNESS PROPERLY FITTED AND RETHE SAINT

AND REMOVE SECTION 4-35, UNLAWFUL RESTRAINT OF DOG. >>> I'LL SECOND.

>> GREAT. >> A MOTION AND SECT ON THE AMENDMENT.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION. >> NO. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

THOSE OPENS SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES ANY DISCUSSION ON THE AMENDED MOTION ON THE FLOOR?

>> I WOULD LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THE PEOPLE THAT CAME OUT FOR THE TOWN HALL AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT SPOKE.

THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE INSIDE COUNTY RESIDENTS WHO LIVE INSIDE THE CITY LIMITS AND COUNTY RESIDENTS. FROM OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS AND THEY HAD MORE CONCERNS THAN JUST THE ORDY PLANS I THINK WE SHOULD ADDRESS IT LATER ON, THERE ARE STILL THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO BRING UP, REPEAT OFFENDERS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO NAME ONE. I STILL HAVE A THING ABOUT VICIOUS DOGS BUT I'M HAPPY WITH THE WAY IT IS, IT IS A GOOD ORDINANCE.

>> THE REAL QUESTION IS, IS THE VICTORIA COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL FACILITY THE WAY IT STANDS NOW, WHAT WE NEED FOR THE 21ST CENTURY IN VICTORIA? AND CAN THEY WITH THE SIZE OF THEIR FACILITY AND THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THEY HAVE ENFORCE THE ORDINANCE WE'RE TRYING TO PASS.

THAT IS THE REAL QUESTION. THAT IS UP TO THE COUNTY, THAT IS PART OF THE INNERLOCAL

[00:40:06]

IT IS NOT A PROBLEM. IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO FUND THE VICTORIA ANIMAL CONTROL. SO PLAGUES, I ASK, I'M GLAD GARY IS HERE AND I HOPE HE TAKES A SERIOUS LOOK AT ANIMAL CONTROL. BUT WE NEED TO MOVE TO THE 21ST CENTURY.

WE REPRESENT 71% OF THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE COUNTY AND THESE ARE THE ORDINANCES WE WOULD LIKE. AND I'VE HEARD THE COUNTY WOULD LIKE TO DO THE ORDY INSTANCE AS WELL. YOU COULD DROP A CITY ORDINANCE AS WELL I THINK THE RESIDENTS AT THE TONGUE HALL MEETING WOULD HAVE LIKED THAT, BUT PLEASE LOOK AT, DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT FACILITY? DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF PEOPLE? DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF HOUR? THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, ANYBODY HAVE ANY COMMENTS? DISCUSSION POINTS NOT HEARING ANY WE'LL CALL TO QUESTION, ALL THOSE IN QUESTION, SAY AYE. THOSE OPPOSE SAME SIGN, ALL

RIGHT, THANK YOU MR. GWOSDZ ONTO THE CONSENT AGENDA. >> D1 IS THE ADOPTION IN THE

THEY HAVE 240 CALENDAR DAYS FOR THE PROJECT, BUT I'LL GET INTO IT MORE DESIGNED PROJECT SCOPE LATER.

THESE ARE THE MAPS SHOWING THE LOTIONS OF THE TWO STREETS I DESCRIBED AIRLINE AND

MOCKINGBIRD THE 96 PROJECT IS A SEALCO PROJECT. >> CAN I INTERRUPT YOU FOR JUST A SEC I APOLOGIZE THIS IS PROBABLY A VERY DUMB QUESTION, BUT MILL-OVERLAY I'M NOW UNDERSTANDING BECAUSE WE'VE DONE A LOT OF THAT RECENTLY, DOES THAT LEVEL OUT AREAS THAT ARE

[00:45:02]

BUMPY ALSO? >> YES. >> OKAY NOT JUST GRINDING IT.

>> WE TAKE IT DOWN, YOU IT IS KIND OF WHAT THEY'RE DOING ON BUSINESS 59 RIGHT NOW, TAKING IT DOWN A LITTLE BIT COME IN AND SEAL IT AND THEY PUT THE OVERLAY OVER IT AND THAT INCLUDES LEVEL-UP. IT MAY BE AN INCH AND A HALF DEEP IN ONE PLACE, TWO INCHES

DEEP TO COVER THAT VARIATION. >> THERE ARE PARTS OF AIRLINE THAT ARE MUCH MORE VARY GATEED.

IF YOU REMEMBER THE OTHER PART OF AIRLINE BETWEEN NAVARRO AND LAURENT WE'RE REPLACING THE WATER MAIN NOW, BUT THE MILL-OVERLAY WAS INCLUDED IN THAT PROJECT.

WE'RE GOING GET A LOT OF AIRLINE DONE THIS YEAR. >>> THANK YOU.

>> OKAY, THAT WASN'T A DUMB QUESTION. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT, TOO.

>>> WE'RE DOING GREEN BREYER PLACE, GULF COAST INDUSTRIAL PARK, GOLDMAN EDITION, RAV AVENUE, EAST END EDITION, AND THAT ONE IS KNOWN AS SILVER CITY, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW IT IS EAST ENDS DIVISION. ORIGINAL TOWN SITE SOUTHWEST, THE CONTRACTOR AGAIN IS BRANDAN PAVING AT A COST OF $1.6 MILLION AND 300 CALENDAR DAYS. AND REAL QUICKLY, THESE ARE THE LOCATIONS, A LOT OF THESE STREETS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE, WE JUST WANT TO KEEP THEM IN THAT SHAPE, WE'RE FOLLOWING THAT IMS RECOMMENDATIONS. WE HAVE DONE THE TESTS THAT WE CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT STREET AND THE IS SUFFICIENT TO HANDLE A SEAL COAT AND THAT'S OF

THE ORIGINAL TOWN SITE. >> WHY SO MANY DAY? A LOT OF PEOPLE ASK THAT WHAT WE DO IN THESE PARTICULAR, THE SEAL COAT AND MILL AND OVERLAY PROJECTS WE WANT TO GET THE BIDS OUT EARLY. TXDOT HIT THEIR PROJECTSNARD NOVEMBER, DECEMBER, JANUARY.

OTHER CITIES SAME TIME, EARLIER WE GET THE PROJECT OUT, WE LOCK IN MATERIAL PRICES.

IT GIVES THE FLEXIBILITY TO BIDDERS FOR THEIR SCHEDULING AND OUR PROJECT -- IT IS A LOT SMALLER THAN THE BIG TXDOT PROJECTS, WE'RE JUST TRYING TO GET IN LINE.

WE'VE DONE THIS FOR MANY YEARS AND WORKED VERY WELL FOR US EVEN THOUGH WE'RE BIDDING IT NOW THE OPTIMAL TIME FOR A SEAL COAT IS SPRING AND SUMMER THAT IS WHEN EVEN ALL THE CITIES, TXDOT HAVE THEIR SEASON FROM APRIL TO OCTOBER. THAT IS WHY THE LONG TIME FRAME OF 200 TO 300 DAYS. THIS IS THEIR SCHEDULE. I GOT THIS FROM THE CONTRACTOR, I TALKED TO THEM. THE MILL AND OVERLAY PROJECT WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT IS FEBRUARY THE BEGINNING OF MOCKINGBIRD, MIDDLE OF THE ROADWAY TAKES ABOUT FIVE DAYS SEAL COATS TWO DAYS, THEY HAVE TO PUT TEMPORARY STRIPING, LET THAT CURE AND COME AND OVERLAY IT AND WE'RE TALKING ANOTHER 3 TO 4 DAYS. AND THEN THAT'S IN FEBRUARY THEY WILL DO THE SEAL. MARCH THEY WILL COME BACK IN AND DO THE HOT MIX ABOUT FIVE DAYS, PURT THE TABS IN, LET THAT HOT MIX CURE AND FOLLOW IT UP WITH A STRIPING AND EXPECTING TO DO MOCKINGBIRD FIRST, PLEAT THAT AND THEN COME IN AND DO AIRLINE. WE HAVE SO MANY EAST-WEST ROADS THAT WE WANT TO LIMITNA EXPOSURE OF SO MANY ROADS UNDER CONSTRUCTION SEAL COAT THEY WILL START IN APRIL WITH LEVEL UP AND PATCHING. WE'RE EXPECTING 15 TO 30 DAYS THAT MATERIAL TAKES 90 DAYS FOR IT TO REALLY CURE OUT SO WE WANT TO LET IT CURE OUT DURING THE SUMMER PERIOD, AND THEN COME IN AUGUST THEY WILL TRIM THE TREES, THEY WILL SWEEP AND CLEAN THE PAVEMENT, SEAL COAT AND THEN THE COURING OF THE SEAL COAT 15 DAYS AND PLACE THE NONNIX ON TOP OF THAT -- THE ONYX ON TOP OF. THAT THAT IS ALL I'VE GOT. ONE THICK THAT MAY COME UP --

I'LL JUST STOP RIGHT THERE. >>> WHAT IS TRIMMING TREES HAVE TO DO WITH IT?

>> THEIR WOMEN EQUIPMENT ARE VERY ALL THE -- THEIR EQUIPMENT IS VERY FALL AND A LOT OF TREES

THEY TRIM TO THE LIMIT OF OUR 16 OR IS IT 14? >> 14 FEET.

AND THEY'LL TRIM THOSE TREES IN JUST THE ROADWAY. >> THAT IS A BETTER ANSWER THAN MY THEORY THAT THE LEAVES SOMEHOW INTERFERE WITH THE SEAL COAT.

>> CURIOUS, WHERE WE'VE ALLOWED TREES TO BE LOWER THAN 14 FEET BECAUSE OF ESTHETICS THERE ARE A LOT OF THOSE SITES DOWNTOWN HAVE YOU GIVEN THOUGHTS TO HOW WE'RE GOING ADDRESS THAT?

>> THEY HAVE DONE A LOT OF THOSE SEAL COATS DOWNTOWN AND TYPICALLY ON THOSE THEY'LL TRIM

[00:50:05]

>> I THINK YOUR QUESTION IS MUCH BIGGER PICTURE THAN THAT HIS QUESTION IS MORE, HOW DO WE TACKLE -- IF WE HAVE SOMETHING IN THE BOOKS THAT TALKS ABOUT 14-FOOT CLEARANCE BUT YET WE'RE INTENTIONALLY LEAVING SOME AREAS WITHOUT IT FOR ES SYMPATHETICS HOW DO WE TACK THAL IN OUR CODE

OR PROCESSES, MAYBE? >> WE KNOW THAT MACHINE IS NOT GOING TO FIT UNDER IT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO PROVIDE AN ANSWER RIGHT NOW. WE'LL LOOK INTONA.

>> IT IS SOMETHING THAT CAME TO MIND BECAUSE THERE ARE AREAS LIKE THAT AND I KNOW THE PAST BANDOB HAS DONE A GOOD JOB OF GETTING WITH THE HOME OWNER THAT HAS LOW HANGING STUFF AND TALKED

TO THEM ABOUT IT. >> CORRECT. >> WE'LL LOOK MORE INTO THAT.

>> I DID WANT TO MENTION, YOU MENTIONED TOO MANY ROADS, YOU WANT TO AVOID TOO MANY ROADS

UNDER CONSTRUCTION. >> AT ONE TIME. >> CORRECT.

THAT IS AN IMPORTANT THING, BECAUSE THAT MEANS WE'RE FIXING ROADS.

>> THAT'S TRUE, TOO. >> WE ARE MOVING QUICKLY. >> CORRECT.

>> WHICH IS GOOD AND THANK YOU FOR THAT. IT ALL FOLLOWS OUR CIP PLANNING ALL RIGHT ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? WE NEED A MOTION FOR ITEM E1

THEN. >> MOVE TO ADOPT. >> SECOND.

>> ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION NOW? >> ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF E1, AYE, THOSE OPPOSE SAME SIGN.

[2. Award the 2022 Residential Street Program (Maintenance Project) to Bra...]

AND E2, WE HAD THE PRESENTATION, SO. >> E2 IS A RESOLUTION AWARDING THE 2022 RESIDENTIAL STREET PROGRAM MAINTENANCE PROJECT TO BRANNAN PAVINGCO LTD FOR THEIR

PROPOSAL AMOUNT OF $1,596,982.IF I HAVE 50. >> MOVE TO ADOPT.

>>> SECOND. >> ANY DISCUSSION ON E2. >>> I HAVE A QUESTION, KEN?

>> YES. >> YOU KNOW I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH FORD CONTRACTS, BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU SAY YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE THE BLAME IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG.

IF SOMETHING DOES GO WRONG AND THESE PROJECTS DON'T GET FINISHED BECAUSE OF THE TIME CONSTRAINT WE'RE PUTTING ON THEM, HOW ARE WE GOING TO HANDLE THAT.

>> THERE IS A LIQUIDED -- LIQUID DATED CLAUSE IF THEY DON'T IF IN THE CALENDAR DAYS ASSIGNED TO THESE PROJECTS. WE DO HAVE METHODS FOR EACH AND EVERY CONTRACT WE HAVE.

>> AND EACH ONE IS BEING LOOKED AT SEPARATELY, RIGHT? BECAUSE SINCE THEY HAVE FOUR

CONTRACTS, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT. >> THEY'RE ALL INDEPENDENT.

>> EACH ONE HAS LIQUID DATED DAMAGES CLAUSE PER CONTRACT, SO IF THEY'RE LATE ON ONE AND AHEAD

ON ANOTHER, IT DOESN'T MATTER, THEY'RE STILL LATE ON THAT ONE. >> OKAY.

THANK YOU. >> THIS IS KIND NOV THE WEEDS BUT IF YOU HAVE A 3-00 DAY

CONTRACT THERE ARE PROVISIONS, TYPICALLY FOR WEATHER DAY. >> I UNDERSTAND THAT, TOO.

I UNDERSTAND. >> IT COULD BE EXTENDED LONGER IF THE CONTRACTOR WISHES DELETE

S WISHES TO PUT IN EXTENDED TIME. >>> I KNOW THAT.

>> ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? DISCUSSIONS? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE THOSE

[3. Approve an agreement with Azteca Systems, LLC for CityWorks Software L...]

OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT, ITEM E3. >>> E3 IS A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE AGREEMENT WITH AS TECHA SYSTEMS LLC FOR CITYWORKS SOFTWARE LICENSE AND MAINTENANCE

IN AMOUNT OF $180,000. >> I'M ALSO GOING TO BE THIS IS PART OF THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM ALSO. SO YOU'LL SEE I'M TALKING ABOUT ENTERPRISE ASSET MANAGER AND BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WORK-ORDER SYSTEM THIS IS A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN JUST A

WORK-ORDER SYSTEM. >> SO THE IDEAL SYSTEM AND THIS IS GOING BACK TO THE SOLUTION -- I'LL GO BACK TO WHEN MR. GARZA FIRST CAME IN AND HE WAS LOOKING AT OUR SYSTEM AND IDENTIFYING OUR WORK ORDER SYSTEMS AND SEEING IT WAS A VERY HAPHAZARD PROCESS.

WE DIDN'T REALLY HAVE A TRUE SYSTEM. A LOT OF PEOPLE WHEN THEY WOULD ACTUALLY ACCOUNT AND PUT A REQUEST IN THEY MAY PUT A REQUEST IN FROM THROUGH THE WEB PORTAL AND THEN GO TO AN E-MAIL AT ONE OF THE DEPARTMENTS AND IF THAT PERSON WHO RECEIVED THE E-MAIL WASN'T THERE, IT MAY BE A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY RECEIVED AN E-MAIL.

THIS IS SORT OF WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE AS AN IDEAL SYSTEM. ONE SYSTEM, MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS CAN USE IT ALSO HAS INTEGRATIONS AND THAT CAB CONNECT TO ADDITIONAL SYSTEMS FOR INANSWER

[00:55:02]

THE OTHER TWO PARTS ARE THE NEXT PIECES OF THE THAL WE NEED TO PUT INTO PLACE.

ONE I WANT TO MAKE A POINT ABOUT THE 311 SYSTEM IS WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A 31 WITHIN SYSTEM IT IS NOT LIKE THE ONE IN LARGER MUNICIPALITIES THAT IS A 311 WHERE YOU CAN CALL A 311.

THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING WE'D LIKE TO SEE DOWN THE PATH THIS IS SOMETHING A CITY-ITS XHUED NUMBER THAT BASICALLY ONE THAT IS ANSWERED BY AN AGENCY SOMEBODY IN ONE DEPARTMENT THAT HANDLES ALL THE WORK ORDER REQUESTS FOR EVERY DEPARTMENT THAT COMES IN.

THIS WOULD THEN BECOME A SINGLE POINT FOR CITIZEN ACCESS SERVICES AND MINIMIZE THE CALL TRANSFERS, A LOT OF WHAT WE'RE SEEING NOW IS IF SOMEBODY CALLS UTILITY BUILDBILLING WITH THEIR BILLING AND SAY THEY HAVE A QUESTION REQUEST W THEIR TRASH PICKUP THAT CALL THEN HAS TO BE TRANSFERRED TO THE SOLID WASTE DEPARTMENT WHERE THEY WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO ANSWER

THE CALL OR PICK UP THE CALL. >> ALSO THIS COULD BE AVAILABLE FOR BEFORE AND AFTER BUT NOT

BUSINESS HOURS. >> I WANT TO SHOW YOU BASICALLY WHAT OUR CURRENT SOLUTION IS, WE CURRENTLY HAVE FOUR SYSTEMS -- ACTUALLY WE HAVE SEVERAL MORE THAN THAT.

WE HAVE SIX SYSTEMS BUT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS FOUR SYSTEMS THIS SYSTEM WILL ADDRESS WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS. FIRST ONE IS PUBLIC WORKS. THIS IS A CUSTOM BUILT SOLUTION.

CUSTOMER ACTUALLIES THAT HAVES TO CALL SOMEBODY IN THE DEPENDENT AND SOMEBODY IN THE DEPARTMENT HAS TO ENTER AND CREATE THAT WORK ORDER. THERE IS ALSO NO FEEDBACK IN CERTAIN INANSWER THES YOU CAN SEE THIS WORK ORDER SYSTEM HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR YEARS.

HEAVILY CUSTOMIZED BUT NOTHING THAT IS ENTER FACES WITH ANY OF THE OTHER SYSTEMS ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES HAS BEEN A CUSTOM BUILT THAT WAS DEVELOPED BY IT THAT HAS BEEN IN SERVICE FOR OVER 15 YEARS. BUILDING SERVICES AND PARKS DEPARTMENT USE A COTCH IS, A COMMERCIAL OFF THE SHELF. SOMETHING THAT CAN BE PURCHASED TO IT WILL TOLL KNOW CUSTOMIZATION DONE OFF OF. THERE THEY DO HAVE CUSTOMER ENTER FACES EQUIPMENT SERVICES IS STRICTLY FOR BUILDING EQUIPMENT SERVICES. THE ONE THING THAT IS IMPORTANT, I WANT TO STRESS IS THAT NONE OF THESE SYSTEM DOS INTERFACE WITH EACH OTHER SO IF THERE IS A TICKET WITHIN PUBLIC WORKS AND ANOTHER TICKET ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, IF SOMEBODY WERE TO CALL PUBLIC WORKS THEY WOULD NOT KNOW ABOUT THE OTHER TICKET AVAILABLE.

SO A MOD TORNADO SYSTEM WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO LOOK AT. THIS IS ACTUALLY OFFERING CITIZENS A MORE ENGAGED FORM OF COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN THEMSELVES AND THE CITY.

CITIZENS ARE CAPABLE OF BEING NOTIFIED WHEN A TICKET IS CREATED.

ASSIGNED TO A CITY EMPLOYEE WHEN THE WORK BEGINS AND ALSO WHEN THE TICKET IS COMPLETED THEY WILL RECEIVE NOTIFICATIONS WHEN THOSE TICKETS THAT WORK HAS BEEN DONE THE DEPARTMENTS ALSO REALIZE THE INEFFICIENT ANY THE AS WE NO LONGER HAVE TO HAVE AN EMPLOYEE JUST SET THEIR REQUIRED TO CREATE THE TICKETS, THE TICKETS CAN BE CREATED ON-LINE. THE ONLY TICKETS THEY WOULD HAVE TO CREATE IS ANY OF THOSE CALLING IN ON THE SYSTEM. FIELD CREWS ARE NOTIFIED IN MORE TIMELY MANNER AND THEY CAN COORDINATED THEIR WORK WITHIN THE GEOGRAPHIC AREAS, SO IF THEY'RE OUT IN ONE PARTICULAR AREA OF THE CITY AND ANOTHER TICKET COMES IN, THE SAME AREA OF THE CITY, THEY MAY OR MIGHT NOT HAVE GOT THAT TICKET THAT DAY BUT WILL RECEIVE THE INSTANT NOTIFICATION AND POSSIBLY WILL CONTINUE THAT WORK IN THE SAME AREA.

WE'LL HAVE A STOREROOM CAPABILITY IN THE SYSTEM SO IF THEY WANT TO LOOK TO SEE IF THERE IS A PART BACK AT THE SHOP THEY DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO DRIVE BACK TO THE SHOP THEY CAN LOOK IN THE SYSTEM TO SEE IF INVENTORY IS ON HAND. CITIZENS ARE NOTIFIED SOON OR NEAR COMPLETION AS FIELD CREWS COMPETE THE TICKET THEY CAN CLOSE THAT OUT ON THE FIELD.

AS SOON AS THAT HAPPENS, CITIZEN CAN BE NOTIFIED AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE FIELD-WORKER TO COME BACK IN AND THEN FOR SOMEBODY WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT TO CLOSE THAT TICKET OUT SUPERVISORS CAN TRACK THEIR WORK ORDERS THERE ARE A LOT MUCH EASIER TO READ DASHBOARDS.

[01:00:04]

>> SO ANTICIPATE THE PUBLIC WORKS IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS WILL TAKE SIX MONTHS TO COMPLETE. WE RELY HEAVILY ON THE FOLLOWING DEPARTMENTS TO MAKE SURE THEIR NEEDS ARE MET. WE'LL HAVE SURE WATER TREATMENT PLANS, UTILITY BUILDING, STREETS AND DRAINAGE AND TRAFFIC CONTROL INVOLVED THIS PROCESS. ADDITIONALLY WHILE WE'RE IMPLEMENTING THIS EWE'RE ALSO HAVING MEMBERS FROM ENVIRONMENT A SERVICES, BES AND PARKS DEPARTMENT GO THROUGH THE PROCESS AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING THEIR NEEDS WILL BE LOOKING AT

AND BE ADDRESSED WITHIN THE FOLLOWING YEAR. >> FROM A OPERATIONAL STANDPOINT WILL BE ABLE TO DISNOTCH A TIMELY MANNER DEPARTMENT HEADS WILL BE ABLE TO QUICKLY IDENTIFY THE FOLLOWING WHERE ARE MY ASSETS AND JOBS THIS WEEK? WHERE ARE MY CREWS LOCATED? WHERE DID THE FAULT OCCUR? WHERE ARE MY HISTORICAL FAILURES?

IF WHAT ARE MY FUTURE FORECAST FAILURES. >> ALSO WE'LL HAVE MOBILE ACCESS OUT IN THE FIELD WITH THE FIELD-WORKERS AND THEY WILL BE ABLE TO REVIEW THEIR WORK ORDERS IN REALTIME AND UPDATE OR CREATE NEW WORK ORDERS WHILE OUT IN THE FIELD.

AND OBVIOUSLY ONE OF THE MANY REASONS RESELECTED CITY WORKS IS IT LEVERAGES OUR OTHER FINALISTS WE INTERVIEWED THEY DID INT GRADE, HOWEVER IT TOOK AND IT ADDED ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE INTO THAT WE DIDN'T FEEL WE WERE COMFORTABLE THIS TIES DIRECTLY INTO GIS.

ALSO WE HAVE PROVIDES US THE ABILITY TO BACK UP OUR EXISTING GIS DATA INTO THEIR SERVER USE WITH BEAR USING THEIR CLOUD SERVER FOR THE WORK ORDER SYSTEM AND SO IT INT GRATES INTO THERE

WE HAVE ANOTHER FORM OF BACKUP. >> EXECUTIVES, DEPARTMENT HEADS WILL HAVE DASHBOARDS TO TRACK KE WITHIN BUDGET. TYPES OF REPORT CAN INCLUDE CONDITION OF THE ASSET, THE HISTORY OF THE ASSET AND THE AGE OF THE ASSET. SO WE DO ANTICIPATE THERE IS GOING TO BE, WHILE IT IS A SIGNIFICANT COST, WE DO ANTICIPATE THERE IS GOING BE SOFT COST SAVINGS TO THIS. IS SAVES TIME BY NOT HAVING STAFF DEDICATED TO RECEIVE THE CALLS CREATE A TICKET AND NOTIFY THE FIELD-WORKER, OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES WE REALIZE THERE WILL NO LONGER NEED TO BE DATA ENTRY DONE IN THE OFFICE, THEY CAN BE DON OUT IN THE FIELD AND NOT HAVING TO WHITE FOR EMPLOYEE INSIDE THE OFFICE TO UPDATE THAT DATA THERE WILL BE ONE WORK ORDER SYSTEM OUR STAFF AND MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS CAN ALSO UPDATE TICKETS NOT FROM OTHER DEPARTMENTS. SOMEONE TALKING ABOUT PAYING THEIR WATER BILL OR AN ISSUE WITH WATER BILL OR TRASH CANS THEY CAN EASILY ADD ADDITIONAL TICKET INSTEAD OF HAVING TO TRANSFER THOSE OVER TO OTHER DEPARTMENTS. ANOTHER PART THAT IS REALLY A GOOD PART THAT WE THOUGHT WAS A GREAT BENEFIT WAS RI WITH FEMA. ANY OF THESE CAN BE TAGGED IF WE

[01:05:01]

IF I WANT TO BEGIN WHAT SHAPING AT A PARTICULAR ADDRESS WE CAN PULL UP A REPORT ON THAT ADDRESS OF COURSE, CITIZENS ARE MORE ENGAGED BECAUSE THEY RECEIVE MORE FEEDBACK.

>> THE YEAR-TO COST YEAR ONE WILL BE THE LARGEST BECAUSE WE HAVE THE IMPRELIMINARIATION COST, $1 OTHER,700 AND THE MAINTENANCE FOR THE YEAR IS ONE, TWO AND THREE.

NOW WE DO REALIZE WE'RE TRYING TO LOOK AT WAYS TO MINIMIZE IMPACT SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE.

YEAR ONE WE DO NOT REALIZE THERE IS ANY WAY WE CAN OFFSET ANY SAVINGS HOWEVER, YEAR 2 AND YEAR 3 WE ANTICIPATE THAT WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO REDUCE THAT YEARLY SOFTWARE TOTAL YEARLY SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE BY 36,000 K BY BRINGING ON PARTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES THAT REDUCES IT DOWN TO 6,000 A YEAR AND THEN WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS WE'RE LOOKING AT MIGRATING OVER FROM OUR FINANCIAL SOLUTION AND ONCE WE EDO THAT WE PAY SAP $30,000 OUT OF SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE OR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR ADDITIONAL WORK.

IF WE REMOVE THAT IS 36,000 OFF OF SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE TO DO THAT.

WOULD BRING YEAR 2 DOWN TO $65K AND YEAR 3 DOWN TO $85K, DID I CONFUSE YOU.

>> THE FINANCIAL PIECE, I THOUGHT WE HAD THE LATEST, GREATEST FINANCIAL, WE LOVE IT AND DON'T WANT TO EVER GIVE IT UP SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO.

>> GIVE GILBERT 2.0. >>> WHEN WE JUMPED ON OPEN GOV WHICH IS THE BUDGETING SOFTWARE WE NEEDED TO TAKE OUR TIME WITH IT AND SO WE'RE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF OPEN GOV.

WE HAVEN'T RELEASED OURSELVES FROM OPEN GOV. THAT IS WHY WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT THE SAP COST GOING AWAY OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS IT IS BECAUSE WE'LL GET TO THE POINTED

WHERE WE'LL BE ABLE TO CUT BACK ON SAP. >> OKAY, THAT EXPLAINS IT, THANK

YOU. >> LASTLY WHILE WE DID SAY WE BUDGETED $250K MONEY FOR THIS, SO THE ADDITIONAL COST THAT WILL BE COMING IN FOR THIS YEAR WILL BE TAKEN OUT OF THE SAVINGS FROM

TXDOT IF I'M CORRECT, WESLEY. >> OVERPASS THING IT'S THE STARK STASH OF CASH THAT KEEPS

ON GIVEING. >> I HAVE A QUESTION. >> YES.

>> WHEN SOMEBODY IS OUT IN THE FIELD, AND THEY USE A WIRELESS DEVICE WHAT NETWORK ARE THEY

USING? >> SO WE WOULD HAVE IN THERE IF THEY HAVE THE TABLS THEY'RE ACTUALLY USING A DATA SIM CARD SO WE'RE USING A LOT OF WHAT WE USE RIGHT NOW CURRENTLY IS WITH

FIRST NET. >> WE HAVE UNLIMITED DATA? >> YES, SIR.

>> GOOD. ABSOLUTELY. >> THAT WILL BE A LOT OF DATA

GOING BACK AND FORTH AND UNLIMITED DATA ON OUR PLANS. >> WHEN WE DO THIS PEOPLE WILL

STILL BE ABLE TO CALL US ON THE TELEPHONE, RIGHT? >> ABSOLUTELY, THEY WILL BE ABLE

TO CALL IN AND DUAL DEPARTMENTS AND. >> AND SHOW UP IN PERSON, TOO.

>> THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO ON-LINE E-MAIL NUMBER FOR THEM TO CALL. AND IF THERE IS ANY OTHER

REQUESTS? >> WE GOT AHEAD OF YOU IN THE PRESENTATION.

>> NO YOU'RE FINE. YOU'RE FINE. >> THERE MR. FOOTE.

>> THANK YOU. >> ANYBODY LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION?

>> SO MOVE. >> SECOND. >> MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM E3, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE, ALL THOSE FAVOR SAY AYE, THOSE OPPOSE SAME SIGN.
