WE PASSED OUT THE RESOLUTION. AND ITS RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT AND PURSUE THE JOINT SPONSORSHIP OF THE VICTORIA REGIONAL AIRPORT, VICTORIA COUNTY, TEXAS MAYOR IF I MAY JUMP IN REAL QUICK. BEFORE EACH OF YOU IS A DRAFT COPY OF A RESOLUTION THAT HAS SOME DIFFERENT LANGUAGE THAN THE DRAFT THAT WAS ORIGINALLY ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA ON THE 17TH. YOU WILL FIND IN YOUR READ FILES, A HARD COPY OF BOTH THE COUNTY'S RESOLUTION THAT THEY PASSED IN REFERENCE TO THIS ITEM AS WELL AS THE ORIGINAL DRAFT RESOLUTION THAT YOU PREVIOUSLY SEEN.
SO THAT -- EACH OF THOSE IS AVAILABLE FOR YOU.

>>MAYOR BAUKNIGHT: SUBSTITUTED ONE.
EVERYBODY HAVE A COPY OF THE SUBSTITUTED ONE? OKAY. MR. CROCKER, DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING? LOOKED LIKE YOU WERE ABOUT TO
SAY. >>COUNCILMEMBER CROCKER: I DID.
I NOTICED IN THE SUB SI DUET ONE THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT, WE REFERRED IN THE NEXT TO LAST PARAGRAPH TO THE STEERING COMMITTEE, BUT IN THE DOCUMENT ITSELF, WE DON'T CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO OF A STEERING COMMITTEE.
I GUESS I HAVE A -- THIS WOULD BE A MOTION TO MODIFY THIS RESO RESOLUTION.
I LOOKED AT THE RESOLUTION THAT WAS PASSED BY THE COUNTY.
IF YOU WILL NOTICE, I THINK EACH OF YOU HAS THAT AS WELL.
WHAT I WOULD PROPOSE IS THEIR LANGUAGE IN THEIR RESOLUTION THAT BEGINS NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT A CO-SPONSORSHIP MODEL BE PURSUED AND THAT A STEERING COMMITTEE BE ESTABLISHED WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM BOTH THE CITY AND THE COUNTY WHO SHALL WORK TOGETHER TO BUILD UPON THE PROGRESS ALREADY MADE OF PURSUING MUTUALLY AGREEABLE TERMS IN THE FORMATION OF GOVERNING DOCUMENTS FOR JOINT CO-SPONSORSHIP FF FOR BC VCT.
I PROPOSE THAT WE MONITOR OUR DRAFT RESOLUTION BY TAKING THAT LANGUAGE FROM THE COUNTY'S RESOLUTION AND SUBSTITUTING IT IN FOR THE PARAGRAPH THAT IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FIRST PAGE OF OUR RESOLUTION THAT BEGINS, NOW, THEREFORE, IT BE RESOLVED.
BASICALLY SCRATCH THAT ENTIRE PARAGRAPH AND SUBSTITUTE WITH THE PARAGRAPH I REFERENCED IN THE COUNTY'S RESOLUTION.
I THINK THAT MRISHSZ WHAT WE NEED TO IN TERMS OF THE STEERING COMMITTEE AND PUTS US ON THE SAME WAGE IN TERMS OF COMMITMENT WITH THE COUNTY TO PURSUE THIS GOING FORWARD.
[00:05:02]
>> I SECOND THAT MOTION. >> WAIT, FURTHER I NOTE THAT THE RESOLUTION WAS DATED JANUARY 17. DO WE NEED JUST TO UPDATE THAT TO JANUARY 26. THOSE WOULD BE MY MODIFICATIONS.
>>MAYOR BAUKNIGHT: OKAY, NOW. >> I MISSED THE DATE THING.
NOT IN THE PARAGRAPH. TWO DIFFERENT CHANGES? ALL RIGHT. I SECOND THAT.
>> CAN WE CLARIFY WHICH ONES YOU WANT TO REMOVE OR REPLACE ON OURS? YOU MEMBERS OF THE JURIED A BOTTOM OF THE PAGE BUT WE NEED TO BE MORE SPECIFIC WHICH ONE
YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. >> FAIR ENOUGH, IT BEGINS NOW, THEREFORE, IT BE RESOLVED THAT A RECOMMENDATION TO MOVE TO A JOINT SPONSORSHIP MOD EL FOR VCT CONTAINED IN THE AGAC FINAL REPORT AND SUBMITTED JANUARY 2023 BE FOLLOWED BY THE CITY FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUPPORTING AND PURSUING A JOINT SPONSORSHIP OF VICTORIA COUNTY AND THE CITY OF VICTORIA UNDER AVIATION CHAPTER 22, COUNTY MUNITION PAL AIRPORT, SUB CHAPTER D, JOINT OPERATIONS.
A PARAGRAPH THAT I PROPOSE WE REPLACE WITH THE PARAGRAPH FROM THE COUNTY'S MODEL. I WILL ALSO NOTE THAT THE TEXAS TRANSPORTATION CODE, AVIATION CHAPTER 22, JOINT OPERATIONS.
ALL OF THAT IS ALREADY REFERENCED ELSEWHERE IN OUR RESO RESOLUTION}
>>ALLISON LACEY: TECHNICALLY PARAGRAPH 8.
>> THE ONE IN THE COUNTY. >> MINE IS NOT NUMBERED BUT YE})
>>ALLISON LACEY: MINE AREN'T EITHER, I JUST COUNTED THEM.
>> IN THE RESOLUTIONS, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED.
>> CORRECT. >>MAYOR BAUKNIGHT: WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? YOU ALL GOOD DOWN THERE? ALL RIGHT, SO ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF MODIFYING PER MR. CROCKER'S WORDING AND SUBSTITUTING THOSE PROVISIONS AND PUT WILLING JANUARY 26 ON THERE, SAY AYE.
THOSE OPPOSED ARE, SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES.
A MOTION AND A SECOND TO ACCRUE THE AMENDED RESOLUTION.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? >> MAYOR, CAN I MAKE
>> SO NOW THAT YOU HAVE FORMALLY REPLACED THAT PARAGRAPH, ON OUR RESOLUTION, NOW WE KNOW A NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THIS CO-SPONSORSHIP MODEL BE PURSUED AND A STEERING COMMITTEE
BE ESTABLISHED, CORRECT? >>MAYOR: CORRECT.
>> NOW THEREFORE IT BE RESOLVE THAT READS THAT CITY STAFF WORK WITH COUNTY STAFF WITH THE FORMATION OF GOVERNING OF THE JOINT SPONSORSHIP. NOW TWO PARAGRAPHS.
ONE THAT SAYS STEERING COMMITTEE AND THE OTHER CITY STAFF ARE INSTRUCTED. I WANT CLARITY AROUND WHO IS GOING TO WORK ON THIS EFFORT. STEERING COMMITTEE MENTIONED ON ONE PARAGRAPH OR CITY STAFF MENTIONED ON THE OTHER.
I WANT CLARITY. >> MY IS TO HAVE CITY STAFF ON STEERING COMMITTEE AND MY ASSUMPTION NOT ONLY MEMBERS ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE BUT WHATEVER STAFF REPORTS ARE NEEDED THROUGHOUT THE CITY TO GET TO AGREEMENT OR PULL TOGETHER DOCUMENTATION OR WHATEVER IS NEEDED -- SORRY -- BE AVAILABLE AND WORK TOWARD THIS JOINT SPONSORSHIP AGREEMENT. I -- I WANT IT IN THERE BECAUSE I THINK THAT THE COUNTY'S ORIGINAL RESOLUTION THAT WAS PRESENTED HAD -- WORDED ABOUT STAFF.
AND THERE IS NOT AIR LOT OF -- NOT A LOT OF -- THEY ARE PAID ALREADY AS ELECTED OFFICIALS TO DO SUCH WORK.
AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS CLEAR THAT IT IS NOT NECESSARILY JUST COUNCILMEMBERS THAT MAY BE ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE AND DOING WORK ON THIS JOINT SPONSORSHIP MODEL BIBUT CITY STAFF. YOU WANT DIRECTION FROM THIS
COUNCIL OF CITY STAFF. >> DO WE NEED SOMETHING IN HERE OF THE MAKE-UP OF THE STEERING COMMITTEE FROM THE CITY'S POINT OF VIEW? OR ALTERNATIVELY BE THE NEXT PARAGRAPH BE IT RESOLVED THAT CITY STAFF AND THE STEERING COMMITTEE. AND THAT WAY IT WILL COVER IT}
>>ALLISON LACEY: WOULD IT CLARIFY FOR YOU BECAUSE MISS SCOTT HAS AN ISSUE WITH SOME OF THE WORDING.
IF CITY STAFF IS EXPECTED TO WORK WITH THE STEERING COMMITTEE ON THE FORMATION OF GOVERNING DOCUMENTS.
>>COUNCILMEMBER SCOTT: WELL, YES AND NO.
[00:10:02]
I THINK YOU WANTED TO GO FURTHER THAN WORKING WITH THE STEERING COMMI COMMITTEE.} >>ALLISON LACEY: OR WE CAN JUST
REMOVE THAT PARAGRAPH. >>COUNCILMEMBER CROCKER: IF IT IS CAUSING CONFUSION, I WOULD SAY REMOVE IT, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR EXPECTATION IS CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD AND I THINK IT IS. I DO DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM IF YOU
ALL WISH TO REMOVE IT. >> I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR IF SOMEBODY FROM THE FAA, SAY, READS THIS RESOLUTION, THEY DON'T SEE THESE PARAGRAPHS BEING CONFLICTING WHERE ON ONE, IT MENTIONS A STEERING COMMITTEE THAT WILL WORK ON IT AND THE OTHER IT SAYS CITY STAFF. IF THE INTENT THAT CITY STAFF WILL BE PART OF THE STEERING COMMITTEE, WE CAN JUST MAKE THAT MORE CLEAR SOMEHOW. SO I AM VIEWING IT MORE FROM AN OUTSIDER'S PERSPECTIVE READING T LE /* THE RESOLUTION. THE VERBIAGE THAT WAS SUBSTITUTED DOES SAY STEERING COMMITTEE BE ESTABLISHED WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE CITY AND THE COUNTY TO WORK UPON THE PROGRESS ALREADY MADE AND TO YOUR POINT, MAYOR, THAT WILL INCLUDE STAFF. AND ONE WOULD ASSUME LEAVING THAT PARAGRAPH IS INCLUSIVE OF STAFF OR COULD ADD VERBIAGE THAT WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM BOTH THE CITY TO INCLUDE STAFF OR SOMETHING IF IT IS THAT IMPORTANT TO REFERENCE STAFF.
EITHER WAY, I UNDERSTAND WHAT MY ROLE IS IN THE PROCESS, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE CLEAR THAT SOMEBODY FROM THE OUTSIDE
UNDERSTANDS WHAT WE ARE DOING. >>COUNCILMEMBER SCOTT: I WOULD SUGGEST NOT TAKING THAT PARAGRAPH OUT BUT INSTEAD PERHAPS SAYING, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT CITY STAFF ARE INSTRUCTED TO WORK BOTH WITH COUNTY STAFF AND CONSULTANTS AND
ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE. >> I THINK THAT IS A GOOD IDEA.
ADD STEERING COMMITTEE ON THERE. >>COUNCILMEMBER SCOTT: THE PARAGRAPH YOU ASKED TAKING OUT, I DON'T WANT TO IT.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT CITY STAFF IS INSTRUCTED TO WORK -- YOU CAN PUT IT LEGALLY -- I WOULD SAY INSTRUCTED TO WORK BOTH WITH THE CITY STAFF AND CONSULTANTS, COMMA, AND ALSO WITH THE STEERING COMMITTEE, COMMA, ON THE FORMATION OF --
>> YOU WILL MAKE THAT IN A MOTION?
>>COUNCILMEMBER SCOTT: YES ARE I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE --}
>>ALLISON LACEY: YOU SAID CITY BUT YOU MEANT COUNTY.
CITY STAFF WILL WORK WITH COUNTY STAFF, COMMA, CONSULTANTS AND THE COMMITTEE ON.THE DOCUMENTATION.
CORRECT? >>COUNCILMEMBER SCOTT: YES.
THAT WAY IF WE HAVE STAFF NOT ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE, THEY CAN ADDITIONALLY WORK WITH THOSE FOLKS.
YES, I DID MEAN COUNTY. >> I SECOND THAT.
>>MAYOR BAUKNIGHT: THAT -- JUST TO BE CLEAR AND I WILL READ IT ONE MORE TEAM. THE MOTION TO AMEND AND SECONDED IS TO HAVE THAT PARAGRAPH RED, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT CITY STAFF IS INSTRUCTED TO WORK WITH COUNTY STAFF, COMMA, CONSULTANTS AND THE STEERING COMMITTEE ON THE FORMATION OF GOVERNING DOCUMENTATION FOR THE JOINT SPONSORSHIP OF VCT AND FOR JOINT OPERATIONS OF THE AIRPORT BETWEEN THE COUNTY AND THE CITY.
>>COUNCILMEMBER SCOTT: I DID INCLUDE THE WORD "BOTH" BUT DOESN'T APPLY BECAUSE THREE IN THAT LIST.
SO, YES, I WOULD LIKE TO AMEND MY MOTION TO WHAT YOU JUST SAID.
>> OKAY. >>COUNCILMEMBER SCOTT: IS THAT
ALL RIGHT WITH YOU? >> THAT'S FINE.
>>MAYOR BAUKNIGHT: WE HAVE A SECOND.
A MOTION TO AMEND THE AMENDMENT. >> ARE YOU GETTING ALL THIS? [LAUGHTER] ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
OPPOSED SAME SIGN. NOW WE HAVE A -- AN AMENDED AMENDMENT WE NEED TO VOTE ON. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
THAT PASSED TOO. SO WE ARE BACK TO THE ORIGINAL MOTION WITH TWO ADOPTED AMENDMENTS.
IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? NO? WELL, I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON THIS.
I THINK IT IS VERY IMPORTANT AND VITAL TO OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUTURE. I WANT TO SEE THAT AIRPORT BE THRI THRIVING PREECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND CONTINUE WITH OUR PROGRESS IN THE CITY IN THE FUTURE.
SO WHILE I DON'T SEE AN IMMEDIATE NOTIFICATION -- THAT WE WILL NOTICE ANYTHING DIFFERENT IF WE GET TO THIS POINT. I THINK IN 15 YEARS WE CAN LOOK BACK AND SAY THIS WAS A GOOD DECISION.
IT IS MY HOPE. ALL THOSE IN FLAVOR SAY AYE.
OPPOSED, SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES.
THANK YOU AND -- >> WE DON'T HAVE TO GO TO
[00:15:07]
EXCUTIVE SESSION IF. >>MAYOR BAUKNIGHT: EVERYBODY SAID NO. GO AHEAD AND
