THEREFORE I DUANE CROCKER CITY OF VICTORIA TEXAS SEPTEMBER 24 AS ARNOLD-CHIARI AFFIRMATION MONTH AND URGE ALL CITIZENS TO WORK TOGETHER TO BRING ABOUT A BETTER WRITER FUTURE IN WHICH NO DISEASE HAS THE FINAL SAY IN ANYONE'S LIFE.

MR. MATTHEW LEMKE HAD REQUESTED THAT PROCLAMATION AND UNFORTUNATELY HE DID NOT STAY BUT MAYOR CROCKER PRESENTED THAT

BEFORE HE LEFT. >> THANK YOU HILBRICH.

MR. GARZA DO YOU HAVE ANY PUBLIC OR EMPLOYEE RECOGNITIONS.

>> I DO, I HAVE ONE. AS MANY OF YOU KNOW OF OUR ASSISTANT CITY MANAGERS WILL BE MOVING ON IN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS, THIS IS HIS LAST REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING.

I WANTED TO TAKE A QUICK MOMENT TO ACKNOWLEDGE MIKE WHO HAS BEEN OUR ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER SINCE JANUARY 2020.

HE CAME ON BOARD AT A CRUCIAL TIME, MANY OF YOU MAY RECALL WE WERE BEGINNING TO BE MORE INTENTIONAL WITH ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. AT THE TIME WE HAD ADDED A SECOND ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER TO SPECIFICALLY FOCUS AND HELP US BE MORE INTENTIONAL WITH ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. MIKE CAME TO US IS A PROVEN LEADER IN THESE AREAS AND PLAYED A CRUCIAL ROLE WHEN WE TOOK ON MORE OF THE DAILY OPERATION OF THE MAIN STREET PROGRAM AND WE CREATED OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

HIS ROLE TRULY TRULY BEGAN FOCUS IN THESE AREAS, NOT TO MENTION THE TREMENDOUS STRIDES THAT WE HAVE MADE IN THE HOUSING IS SPECIFICALLY IN THE WORKFORCE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING ARENA.

MANY OF YOU ARE AWARE THAT WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY NEW AFFORDABLE WORKFORCE UNITS BUILT IN OUR COMMUNITIES SINCE 2007.

IT WAS WITH MIKE'S LEADERSHIP THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GO TO AUSTIN, MAKE SOME CHANGES TO THE WAY THAT THEY DID THINGS AND REESTABLISH THE HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION THAT ALSO HELPS SET THE STAGE FOR US TO EMBARK ON THIS JOURNEY THAT IS NOW LED TO THREE, HOPEFULLY SOON TO BE FOUR, NEW COMPLEXES THAT OFFER AFFORDABLE WORKFORCE HOUSING. WHICH IS LITERALLY HUNDREDS AND

[00:15:02]

ON TOP OF THAT WE HAVE DISCUSSED THROUGHOUT THE YEARS OUR NEED TO FOCUS ON INFILL, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE KNOWN FOR A WHILE, JULIE DESERVES A LOT OF CREDIT SHE BEGAN LOOKING AT THIS PROGRAM YEARS AGO BUT ULTIMATELY WE OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED THE PILOT PROGRAM UNDER MIKE'S LEADERSHIP AND WERE SLOWLY BUT SURELY GETTING ACCESS AND CONTROL SYSTEM LOTS SO WE CAN START ADMINISTERING THAT PROGRAM. I GO ON AND ON, MIKE PLAYED A CRUCIAL ROLE IN THE REVAMPING OF THE CIP PROCESS AND NOW HAS SEEN A MORE DIVERSE CIP COME BEFORE YOU EVERY YEAR.

HE CAME TO US WITH EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN ALL OF THESE AR AREAS. HE IS SURELY GOING TO BE MISSED.

MORE PORTLY AS I CONVEYED TO STAFF AND HIM.

HE IS A GREAT FRIEND. HE HAS BEEN A GREAT FRIEND OF MINE OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS AND HE IS CERTAINLY GOING TO BE MISSED BUT WE ARE NEVER GOING TO FORGET ABOUT HIM, HE IS ALWAYS WELCOME BACK. I ASK YOU THAT YOU HELP ME CONGRATULATE HIM AND HIS NEXT CAREER MOVE AND THANK HIM FOR HIS SERVICE TO US OVER THE LAST FOUR PLUS YEARS.

THANK YOU, MIKE. [APPLAUSE]

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH JESUS FOR THE KIND WORDS AND ONCE AGAIN I WANT TO SAY VICTORIA HAS A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART.

IT HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL PLACE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY, I HAVE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED MY TIME. BUT FIRST I WANT TO THANK JESUS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE THE CITY OF VICTORIA.

I AM VERY BLESSED TO HAVE HAD THIS OPPORTUNITY.

JESUS, I COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU.

ALL THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE THE CITY OF VICTORIA. I REALLY ENJOYED IT AND HOPEFULLY WE MADE AN IMPACT. SECOND, I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THE CITY COUNCIL. MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN MENTORS TO ME, HELPING ME GROW AND I HAVE BECOME GREAT FRIENDS WITH MANY OF YOU. I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I REALLY APPRECIATE IT AND OF COURSE, I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU. FINALLY, I WANT TO THANK MY STAFF. ACTUALLY THE ENTIRE STAFF HAS BEEN THE MOST PROFESSIONAL STAFF THAT I HAVE EVER WORKED WITH.

I WORKED IN SAN ANTONIO PRIOR, WE HAD 14000 EMPLOYEES IN SAN ANTONIO AND WITHIN VICTORIA I WOULD SAY OUR STAFF, THEY ARE SO PROFESSIONAL, SO EXPERIENCE, IT WOULD PUT THEM UP AGAINST THE SAN ANTONIO STAFF ANY DAY. THEY ARE FANTASTIC, I THINK WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE SUCH A GREAT STAFF AND I REALLY WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALL OF THEM, THE ONES THAT REPORTED TO ME DIRECTLY, I'M NOT WHEN GETTING THEM BY NAME BUT THEY JUST DID A GREAT JOB, LOTS OF EXPERIENCE, WE ARE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE SOME OF THE BEST STAFF IN THE ENTIRE STATE SERVING THE CITIZENS OF VICTORIA. I WILL BE LEAVING, I HAVE TAKEN THE DEPUTY CITY MANAGER JOB NEAR AUSTIN.

JUST TO BE CLOSER TO MY SON. I THINK MANY OF YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO GET CLOSER AS A FAMILY.

AND I THINK THIS PRESENTED A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR ME AND FOR MY WIFE AND FOR US TO COME TOGETHER A LITTLE BIT CLOSER.

FINALLY, I JUST WANT TO SAY AGAIN, THANK YOU.

I WILL MISS VICTORIA. VICTORIA HAS A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART. THANK YOU AND THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE] >> MIKE, CERTAINLY, WE HATE TO SEE YOU GO, HAPPY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND YOU WILL CERTAINLY BE MISSED AROUND HERE, NO DOUBT.

>> MIKE, I WOULD LIKE TO THINK AS THE PRESIDENT OF VICTORIA HOUSING FINANCE COMMITTEE, YOU'VE TAUGHT US A LOT ME AND DOCTOR YOUNG AND JAN SCOTT, YOU'VE TAUGHT US A LOT AND GUIDED US AND WITHOUT U.S. AROUND TO HELP US IT WOULD'VE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> THINK YOU. >> MIKE, I VERTEBRATE NEW PERSONALLY BUT THE CITY IS CERTAINLY BENEFITED FROM YOUR EXPERIENCE AND YOUR EXPERTISE AND WE DONE GREAT THINGS HERE BA LOT OF THAT IS BECAUSE OF YOUR VISION AS WELL AND YOU PUSHING US TO DO BETTER THANK YOU.

>> THINK YOU BEEN A CERTAINLY GOING TO MISS YOU AND MISS YOUR FAMILY, BEST OF EVERYTHING TO THEM, HOPEFULLY THEY GOT A GOOD

[00:20:02]

AND WERE JUST GOING TO MISS YOU AS A FRIEND, ABSOLUTELY.

>> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU MIKE.

>> CONGRATULATIONS. >> GOOD FOR THEM, BAD FOR US.

[APPLAUSE] >> MR. GARZA ANY OTHER PUBLIC OR

[4. Citizen Communication:]

COUNSEL THIS EVENING? >> SEEING NONE, I WILL MOVE ON TO CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS, I HAVE A FEW CARDS.

WE WILL START WITH CARRIE WYCLIFFE.

GOOD EVENING, WELCOME BACK. >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I AM JUST COMING HERE TO DO A SHAMELESS PLUG. I NEED SOME ASSISTANCE.

WE ARE CURRENTLY ACCEPTING APPRAISAL REVIEW BOARD MEMBER APPLICATIONS. THIS COMES AROUND EVERY TWO YEARS WITH THE PASSAGE SENT A BILL TO ANDY'S APPOINTMENT MOVING BACK TO OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS WE ARE TRAINED TO GET NEW APPLICATIONS IN AND WE CAN ALWAYS USE MORE BECAUSE WHEN PROTESTS INCREASE WE NEED TO HAVE A FEW MORE PEOPLE HELP US OUT. TYPICALLY, WHAT THE REQUIREMENTS ARE THEY ARE A TWO YEAR RESIDENT VICTORIA COUNTY.

WE WORK ROUGHLY 40 HOURS A WEEK FROM MAY - OCTOBER, SOME YEARS WE GET DONE SOONER. THAT IS A NICE GIFT WOULD HAPPENS. WE DO PAY $150 A DAY PER DIEM BUT MAINLY WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE APPRAISAL REVIEW BOARD, WHEN PEOPLE GET THEIR NOTICE OF VA VALUE, THEY HAVE QUESTIONS THEY CAN COME SPEAK TO US AT THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT IF WE CANNOT COME TO SOME RESOLUTION THEY ALWAYS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO THE APPRAISAL REVIEW BOARD WHO WILL HEAR BOTH SIDES AND MAKE IT OPINION OF VALUE FOR THOSE TAXPAYERS.

SOMETIMES THAT'S BEEN VERY BENEFICIAL IN INSTANCE BECAUSE WERE BOUND BY JANUARY 1 AND THE LAW.

IF A HOME BURNED DOWN ON JANUARL DISTRICT CANNOT CHANGE THAT FOR THEM. THE APPRAISAL REVIEW BOARD MAY CHOOSE TO DO OTHERWISE. THAT'S KIND OF WHAT IT IS.

IT IS A CITIZEN PANEL TO LISTEN TO THE CITIZENS CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR VALUE AND THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED ON BOTH SIDES AND MAKE THE BEST DECISION THAT THEY SEE FIT BEST OUT THE EVIDENCE PROVIDED BY ALL PARTIES. THIS IS MY PLUG.

WE HAVE APPLICATIONS AT THE OFFICE AND AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR IF ANYBODY WANTS TO STOP BY AND CHAT BEFORE THEY SIGN UP FOR. I WILL HELP YOU WITH THAT TOO.

THAT IS ALL I HAVE. >> VERY GOOD.

>> THANK YOU, HAVE A GREAT EVENING.

AS YOU KNOW, AS PROBABLY ALL OF YOU KNOW TODAY IS NATIONAL VOTER REGISTRATION DAY SO I HAVE BEEN AT THE LIBRARY REGISTERING VOTERS, THE DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION FOR THIS YEAR'S ELECTION IS OCTOBER 6 FOR PEOPLE WHO WERE TURNED 18 BEFORE THE ELECTION ON OR BEFORE THE ELECTION, THEY STILL HAVE TO REGISTER BY OCTOBER 6, THEY CAN REGISTER IN ADVANCE, THERE WILL BE VOTER REGISTRATION PLACES SET UP AROUND TOWN, VARIOUS PLACES INCLUDING THE ELECTION OFFICE, THE LIBRARY AND I THINK THEY WILL BE AT NATIONAL NIGHT OUT EVENT ON SATURDAY. THE OTHER THING I WANT TO BRING UP AGAIN AS JESUS MENTIONED, THE LIBRARY, THE FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY ARE HAVING THE THREE TIME A YEAR SALE WHICH HELPS DEFRAY EXPENSES SO JESSICA DOESN'T HAVE TO BEG FOR MONEY FOR PROGRAMS THAT THE CITY DOESN'T HAVE TO FUND THEM.

AND I DO WANT TO MENTION THAT THIS FAR I HAVE SEEN VERY FEW ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF PEOPLE AT THE SALE, THE EXCEPTION OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO COME DOWN AND GET A GOOD DEAL ON BOOKS. IT'S A GOOD PLACE TO BUY BOOKS FOR CHRISTMAS GIFTS IF NOTHING ELSE.

DONDERO. >> GOOD EVENING MR. DONDERO.

>> IT EVEN COUNSEL, MARY. I AM MICHAEL I LIVE AT 22 A FORD EAST NORTH STREET. SOMEONE FORGOT TO TALK ABOUT MY GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT AND IT WAS OPENING OF THE DOG PARK.

NO ONE EVER MENTIONED THAT, I JUST WANTED TO THANK HIM FOR HELP IN GETTING IT GOING BECAUSE WE REALLY NEED SOMETHING LIKE THAT BUT I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT A HOUSE ON 401 NORTH LIBERTY STREET BY THE PUBLIC LIBRARY AND WE HAVE SQUATTERS LIVING IN

[00:25:01]

YOU CAN TELL WHAT THEY DON'T WANT TO REVITALIZE SOMETHING, THEY JUST PUT THE CHEAP PARTICIPLE PLYWOOD UP THERE AND SOMEONE'S ALREADY PULLED THAT OUT AND THEY ARE LIVING THEIR, I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT COULD GO DRIVE UP THERE TOMORROW FOR THE CITY COUNCIL, CODE ENFORCEMENT, EVERYBODY BECAUSE HALLOWEEN IS COMING UP BECAUSE IT WOULD BE EASY FOR A SEX OFFENDER TO KIDNAP SOMEONE AND KILL THEM OR HURT THEM IN THEIR. EVERYONE JUST SEEMS TO BE TURNING A BLIND EYE ABOUT PEOPLE LIVING THERE AND GOING BACK AND FORTH AND EATING THERE. I WISH SOMEONE COULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY. I'M TELLING THEM JUST GO CHECK IT OUT. HALLOWEEN IS COMING AND SOMETIMES KIDS MIGHT BE CURIOUS AND THEY WILL SAY LET ME CHECK IT OUT. BUT SOMEONE RIPPED OFF ONE OF THOSE BOARDS SAYING THEY ARE IN THEIR, THERE IS FOOD AND CLOTHES AND STUFF LIKE THAT AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A HOMELESS CAMP OR WHAT'S GOING ON. I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO IT. I DON'T KNOW IF ALLISON LACEY COULD DRIVE UP THERE TOMORROW AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT, OF COURSE GET THE POLICE WITH HER TO IN CASE SOMEONE IS IN THERE.

I WOULD JUST APPRECIATE SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO IT.

THANKS AND HAVE A GOOD EVENING. >> THANK YOU.

[D. Consent Agenda:]

>> WHEN IS THE ADOPTION OF THE REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 3, 2024, THE SPECIAL MEETING HELD ON SEPTEMBER 10, 2024, ITEM D TO A RESOLUTION OF RENEWAL AGREEMENT FOR 800 MEGAHERTZ RADIO SYSTEM SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE WITH MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS FOR $884,478.4.

I'LL ENTERTAIN ANY EMOTIONS WITH THE CONSENT AGENDA.

>> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> TO HAVE A SECOND.

>> SECOND PAYMENT WE HAVE A MOTION IN THE SECOND, ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE COME IN ANY OPPOSE, CONSENT AGENDA PASSES.

>> WE WILL MOVE INTO SECTION E, BEFORE WE DO WE I WANT TO ANNOUNCE THE ITEM D5 IS GOING TO BE PULLED FROM TONIGHT'S AGENDA AT THE REQUEST OF THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, WE EXPECT THAT THAT WILL BE REAPPEARING ON THE AGENDA AT A LATER MEETING.

SO WE WILL JUST ENTERTAIN E1 - FOR, IS THAT CORRECT MS. LACEY?

[1. Approve cooperative purchasing contracts for various computers, softwa...]

>> THAT IS CORRECT. >> THEN WE WILL JUMP STRAIGHT INTO ITEM E1 TWOMAC ITEM E1 IS A RESOLUTION APPROVING COOPERATIVE PURCHASING CONTRACTS FOR VARIOUS COMPUTERS, SOFTWARE, PERIPHERALS AND RELATED EQUIPMENT AND THE AMOUNT OF $1,349,745.

>> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS, I AM HERE TO TALK ABOUT MY ANNUAL PURCHASES. IF YOU REMEMBER WHEN WE DID OUR BUDGET WORKSHOP I SAID THERE WAS A BIG INCREASE IN OUR SOFTWARE, JUST AS A REMINDER TO COUNSEL COOPERATIVE PURCHASES ALLOWS US TO USE PROCUREMENT CONTRACTS FROM OTHER GOVERNMENT IN THE CASE OF HVAC WITH HOUSTON WE CAN GET A BETTER PRICING IF WE CAN GO THROUGH THE CONTRACTS, IT ALSO ENSURES THAT IT IS ALSO SATISFYING REGULATIONS WHEN WE GO THROUGH CORPORATIVE CONTRACTS. THE MAJORITY OF OUR CONTRACT THAT WE DO USE, THE MAJORITY OF SECTION DR BUT WE ALSO USE CHIPS, AND GSA IN ALL NEW, THOSE ARE MAJOR CONTRACTS THAT WE UTILIZE. OUR COOPERATIVE PURCHASES AS YOU CAN SEE TEXAS DR TAKES UP THE BULK OF THE 870,000 OR 64% AND BY BOARD AT 291721%. THE MAJORITY AGAIN GOES BACK INTO SOFTWARE, THIS IS HER SOFTWARE THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IN OUR BUDGET WORKED, THOUGH 70% 972,000 IS THE MAINTENANCE, REPLACEMENT EQUIPMENT, THOSE ARE COMPUTER REPLACEMENT AT 320,000 AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES NEW SOFTWARE AND NEW EQUIPMENT WOULD TAKE UP THE REMAINING OF THOSE.

THIS IS JUST THE COMPARISON FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS OF WHAT OUR SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE CONTRACT HAVE GONE UP.

THIS YEAR FOR 25 VERSUS 24, WE DID SEE A BIG INCREASE IN OUR CONTRACTS, WE ALSO HAD A LARGE INCREASE IN THE ONE WITH NEIL GUNN, WE IMPLEMENTED ADDITIONAL SERVICES OF WAGNER SO THE INCREASED ABOUT 67% IS THAT WHAT CAME UPON THERE.

[00:35:03]

>> DID YOU INTENTIONALLY SKIP OVER A SLIDE.

>> THOSE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL SLIDES.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THOSE. >> YOU SHOWED THEM ALREADY.

>> WE WILL CERTAINLY BRING THEM. >> THIS IS HER TOTAL PURCHASES.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THAT, WHEN WE SET COOPERATIVE PURCHASES, THOSE ARE THE PURCHASES THAT WE TRY TO GIVE COOPERATIVE CONTRACTS BUT HER TOTAL PURCHASES, JUST OTHER SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE IS 2.5 MILLION, OF COURSE REPLACEMENT EQUIPMENT IS STILL THE SAME AND NEW EQUIPMENT NEW SOFTWARE BUT MAINTENANCE, THAT TAKES A LOT OF CONTRACTS THAT MAY NOT SINCERELY HAVE CORPORATE CONTRACTS. A GREAT EXAMPLE THAT I CAN THINK OF IS HER CENTRAL SQUARE WITH OUR SOFTWARE THAT IS GOING TO

OPERATIVE CONTRACT. >> AM I CORRECT MR. FOOTE, I KNOW WE HAD A BIG INCREASE IN NEIL GOLF BUT SOME OF THE ADDED FEATURES THAT WE ARE NOW TAPPING INTO WILL REPLACE SOME OTHER SOFTWARE AND OTHER PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE CORRECT?

>> WE HAVE TAKEN THOSE OUT, CURRENTLY EVERYTHING THAT WE DOING ON THE HR SIDE FOR THE TIMEKEEPING AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT IS BEING DONE THROUGH NEIL GOT UP, WE GOT THOSE ADDITIONAL

BENEFITS. >> THESE NUMBERS ALREADY REFLECT

THE ADDITIONAL THAT OFFSET? >> THE QUESTION WHETHER THESE NUMBERS REFLECT THAT WE DON'T HAVE THOSE OTHER PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE TO UPDATE I BELIEVE THAT IS CORRECT FOR.

>> I DO NOT INCLUDE THOSE IN THE NUMBER BUT I CAN SUBTLY PROVIDE IF YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT THE DIFFERENCE WAS WHAT WE ARE USING FOR THOSE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS AND WHAT WERE CURRENTLY USING NOW, THERE WAS STILL AN INCREASE I WILL SAY THAT VERSUS WHAT WE ARE

PREVIOUSLY USING. >> SEEMINGLY LIKE EVERYTHING

ELSE ON THE MARKET THESE DAYS. >> EVERYTHING IS GOING UP.

AGAIN OF COURSE THIS IS JUSTIFIED YOUR COMPARISON AGAIN WITH THE TOTAL COST OF OUR SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE.

THAT WAS THE ADDITIONAL SLIDES I HAVE.

>> MY ONLY COMMENT TO THIS IF I MAY REALLY QUICKLY, IS JUST TO EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF TECHNOLOGY PLAYS IN OUR EVERYDAY OPERATION. I THINK OFTEN TIMES WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ENHANCING OUR OPERATION, IT'S EASY TO FOCUS ON THE PEOPLE ASPECT OF IT, THE NUMBER OF PHYSICIANS AND THINGS OF THAT SORT BUT WITHOUT THE TECHNOLOGY OUR PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO DO AS EFFECTIVE OR PRODUCTIVE OF A JOB THAT THEY CAN I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE MINDFUL OF THE FACT THAT ON TOP OF OUR CHALLENGE TO KEEP UP WITH THINGS LIKE PERSONNEL COUNTS, COMPENSATION, THINGS OF THAT SORT WE HAVE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE ALSO GRADUALLY INCREASING AND COST EVERY YEAR, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO SIMPLY JUST NOTE THAT.

>> VERY GOOD, THANK YOU MR. GARZA, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR. FOOTE? IF NOT I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION

WITH RESPECT TO E1. >> I MOVE THAT WE ADOPT.

>> SECOND. >> I HAVE A MOTION IN THE SECOND, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

[2. Allocate funding to outside agencies for FY 2025 from the Hotel Occupa...]

I NEED TO. >> A RESOLUTION ALLOCATING FUNDING FOR OUTSIDE AGENCIES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020 LIVE FROM THE

HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX FUNDS. >> WELCOME BACK.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL, IT'S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN OUR ANNUAL HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX FUNDS AWARDS PROGRAM.

BEFORE I GIVE A MY PRESENTATION I WILL SAY EVERYTHING WENT SMOOTHLY THIS YEAR, OUR NEW SYSTEM OF SCORING AND QUALIFIED APPLICANTS PROVED VERY EFFECTIVE.

WE HELD MULTIPLE WORKSHOPS, ON THE FIRST, 15TH, 20TH, 22ND EXCUSE ME, AND 25TH. THE FINAL TWO WERE ALSO VIRTUAL

[00:40:02]

AND OF COURSE WERE HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT A RESOLUTION TO PROVE THOSE. AND IF THEY ARE APPROVED TONIGHT WE WILL WORK WITH LEGAL TO HIM AT THE CONTRACTS FOR THE INDIVIDUAL AWARDEES. JUST SOME BACKGROUND INFORMATION. WE AGAIN HAD $135,000 AVAILABLE IN TOTAL FUNDING. THAT IS A FIGURE THAT IS ESTABLISHED BY THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT AND LOOKING AT HER CURRENT HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX COLLECTIONS.

THAT NUMBER STAYED STEADY FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS.

WE DID RECEIVE 21 APPLICATIONS THIS TIME, THAT WAS ONE FEWER THAN LAST YEAR AND WE DID RECEIVE A TOTAL OF $383,549 AND REQUESTED FUNDING. LAST YEAR WAS A LITTLE BIT OVER $400,000. NOTHING CHANGE FROM LAST YEAR END HOW WE QUALIFIED APPLICANTS, THERE IS GROUP ONE, THERE IS GROUP TWO, GROUP ONE OF COURSE IS EVENTS, THEY CAN BE NONPROFIT OR PROFIT THEY DO HAVE TO SHOW NIGHTS MOST EVENTS RECENT TO THE APPLICATION. AND THIS IS WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO CALL THE LIMITING FACTOR ONLY THE TOP 10 ROOM NIGHT GENERATORS ARE ELIGIBLE. IN GROUP TWO ARTS IN HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROMOTION MUST BE A REGISTERED NONPROFIT THAT'S WHAT I CALL A LIMITING FACTOR THERE AS WELL THEY MUST HAVE A MINIMUM OF TWO EVENTS OR EXHIBITS OR OPERATE ON A CONTINUED BASIS.

AND THEY MUST BE ORGANIZATION'S PRIMARY GOAL TO ADVANCE ART AND PRESERVATION PROMOTION, MUCH LIKE GROUP ONE THEY MUST SHOWROOM NIGHTS BUT UNLIKE GROUP ONE WHICH HAS A MINIMUM SO TO SPEAK WITH BEING IN THE TOP 10, THERE IS NO MINIMUM NUMBER OF NIGHTS TO SHOW BUT THEY DO HAVE TO PROVE ROOM NIGHTS.

IN TERMS OF HOW WE WORKED ON THE MONEY, OF COURSE THE POINT OF HAVING GROUP TO IS TO PRESERVE SOME LEVEL OF FUNDING FOR ARTS AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION WHICH ARE CULTURALLY IMPORTANT TO OUR COMMUNITY, HOWEVER, AT THE END OF THE DAY GROUP ONE GETS THE LION SHARE OF THE FUNDS BECAUSE THOSE APPLICANTS TYPICALLY DO PRODUCE THE MOST FOR NIGHTS. THE ESSENCE OF THE PROGRAM IS TO PROMOTE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. PROMOTE AND SUPPORT EVENTS THAT ARE DRIVING HOTEL ROOM NIGHTS. THAT'S DEFINITELY SEEING MORE AND GROUP ONE. AND HOW WE DISTRIBUTE THE FUNDING WITHIN THE GROUPS, 70% IS AVAILABLE AND EVENLY DISTRIBUTED AMONG THE APPLICANTS IF THEY HAD THESE FOUR MARKERS.

ALL OF OUR APPLICANTS DID, THEY ALL ATTENDED THE WORKSHOP.

THEY ALSO DID THE DOCUMENTATION THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO.

SO THEY FULFILLED THE REQUIREMENTS OF DOCUMENT COMPLIANCE, CREDIBILITY AND TRANSPARENCY THE ALTAR DID A BUDGET THAT WAS LEGIBLE AND HIGHLIGHTED AND WHERE THEY EXPECTED TO USE FUNDS IF THEY WERE AWARDED.

IN PRIOR USE OF FUNDS IF THEY WERE AWARDED LAST YEAR THEY HAVE HAD THEIR EVENTS, TURNED IN THEIR POSTEVENT REPORT AND TRYING TO GET THEIR FUNDS. THE FOLLOWING 30% WITHIN THE GROUP IS DISTRIBUTED ON THEIR SHARE OF THE ROOM NIGHT TOTAL WITHIN THE GROUP. A LITTLE BIT SMALL TO SEE, I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT BUT IF YOU LOOK YOU CAN SEE HER TOTAL LIST WITHIN GROUP ONE WHO WAS AWARDED FUNDS, THE GLOBAL QUALITY CREEK WAS ONCE AGAIN THE NUMBER ONE RECIPIENT FOLLOWED BY PRODIGY ATHLETICS, THE GOLDEN CRESCENT DISC GOLF CLUB, HOT ROD TOUR OF TEXAS, SALAZAR PROMOTIONS, TAP OR SCRAP, THAT'S A NEW ONE THEY DO MIXED MARTIAL ARTS EVENT, THE TEXAS FLAG FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION IS ALSO A NEW AWARDEE. THEY DO A FLAG FOOTBALL EVENT IN RIVERSIDE PARK. THE TEXAS WATER SAFARI, TEXAS CLASH, AND NF PROMOTIONS WAS THE FINAL RECIPIENT.

WHILE THEY RECEIVED THE WAS THE AMOUNT, THEY DID NOT HAVE THE LOWEST AMOUNT OF ROOM NIGHTS, THAT'S BECAUSE THE WAS THE MAX AMOUNT THAT THEY ASKED AN APPLICATION.

ACTUALLY THE LOWEST IN TERMS OF ROOM NIGHTS WAS TEXAS CLASH, THEY HAD 60 PROVEN ROOM NIGHTS AND THE NEXT HIGHEST WHICH MEANS NUMBER 11, THAT WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE THE CUT, THE VICTORIA COUNTY 4H HAD FIVE ROOM NIGHTS. THERE WAS A BIT OF A SIZABLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NUMBER 10 ANDOVER 11, YOU CAN SEE THE OTHER THREE, THE DAILY YOUNG CLUB, THE QANTAS CLUB AND THE CARVER FOUNDATION FOR THE RESPECTIVE EVENT THEY DID NOT PRODUCE ENOUGH ROOM NIGHTS OF DOCUMENTATION TO MAKE THE TOP 10. GROUP TWO IS THE SAME GROUP THAT WE HAD AS LAST YEAR, THE MUSEUM OF THE COASTAL BEND, FOLLOWED BY

[00:45:02]

THOSE ARE ASSIGNED BY THE CITY MANAGERS, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS APPROVE THE RESOLUTION TONIGHT WHICH ALSO AUTHORIZES THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THOSE CONTRACTS WITH THE RESPECTIVE AWARDEES, ORGANIZATIONS CAN BE REIMBURSED, ONCE, WE DON'T CUT A CHECK UNTIL OCTOBER 1. THEY HAVE TO HAVE THEIR EVENT FIRST, AS A REIMBURSEMENT BASED PROGRAM.

SO MOST OF THEM USUALLY REQUEST A LUMP-SUM WINTER SEASON IS OVER LIKE THE COASTAL BEND OR ONCE AN EVENT IS OVER, MOST OF THEM NOW REQUEST REPAYMENT IN A SINGLE INSTALLMENT.

THE 17 TOTAL AWARDS, 21 TOTAL APPLICATIONS AND WE DID RECEIVE NO APPEAL FORMS. I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE THIS TIME.

ANY QUESTIONS. >> I LIKE THE SYSTEM.

>> ANOTHER'S BEEN FINE-TUNING SEVERAL YEARS AND IT SEEMED LIKE WE HAD ON A GOOD SPOT, WE APPRECIATE THE HARD WORK YOU GUYS HAVE PUT INTO IT I KNOW IT TAKES THE LOT OF WORK TO GO INTO

IT'S BEEN AN INTERESTING EXPERIENCE.

>> I'M SURE THE PROCESS IS EASIER THAN IT IS.

>> I WANT TO, IF I MAY, THE FACT THAT YOU HAD NO APPEALS IS CERTAINLY SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF AND SPEAKS TO THE THOUGHT THAT WENT INTO THE PROCESS THAT NOBODY WANTED TO APPEAL YOUR

DECISIONS THAT YOU MADE. >> THINK USERS PAY THE CREDIT

QUESTION ABOUT THE APPEALS. >> CAN YOU SPEAK INTO THE MICROPHONE I DO QUESTION ABOUT THE APPEAL SO I CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS IS SIMPLY FOR THE KNOWLEDGE BASE, YOU SAID ON THE THIRD, THIS NOTIFICATION WAS SENT AND ON THE SIXTH.

>> YES THEY HAD THREE DAYS TO SUBMIT A LETTER IT IS A SINGLE

WITH THAT I WILL ENTERTAIN ANY MOTIONS WITH RESPECT TO ITEM E2.

[3. Allocate funding to non-profit organizations for FY 2025 from the Chil...]

MOVING ON TO ITEM E3. >> ITEM E3 IS A RESOLUTION ALLOCATING FUNDS FOR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025 FROM THE CHILD SAFETY FUND.

GOOD EVENING TIFFANY. >> TONIGHT AND GOING TO GO OVER THE CHILD SAFETY GRANT AWARD RECOMMENDATION, THE COMMITTEE DID RECEIVE A TOTAL OF INTEREST FROM EIGHT APPLICANTS AND RECEIVED A TOTAL OF SEVEN APPLICATIONS FROM ELIGIBLE ORGANIZATIONS TOTALING $69000, ONE OF THE EIGHT DID NOT GET THE APPLICATION SUBMITTED IN TIME. OF THAT THE $61000 OUT OF THE $70000 BUDGET AND FUNDING RECOMMENDED TO THE ORGANI ORGANIZATIONS, WE ARE RECOMMENDING A TOTAL OF SIX OF THE SEVEN APPLICANTS THAT APPLIED TO RECEIVE FUNDING, OUR INTERNAL COMMUNITY APPLICATION USING OBJECTIVE DATA TO DO SO.

THIS IS AN OVERVIEW OF THE CHILD SAFETY COMMITTEE THAT REVIEWED THOSE APPLICATIONS SO WE HAVE KATIE AND VICTORIA FROM FINANCE IN THE GRANTS DIVISION. MYSELF, ADAM WAS TO HELP WITH THE CONTRACTS IN THE LEGAL ASPECTS IN SERGEANT BRANDON ALLEN. THE ORGANIZATION, THIS IS AGAIN A HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW OF WHAT THEY NEEDED TO DO TO APPLY FOR FUNDING SO THEY DID NEED TO BE A NONPROFIT NON- TAXING ENTITY TO COMPLY WITH THE DOCUMENT REQUIREMENTS AND BE ELIGIBLE OR APPLY FOR FUNDING FROM WHATEVER ELIGIBLE USE CATEGORIES AND WE EVALUATED APPLICATIONS BASED ON OUR EVALUATION CRITERIA WHICH IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU PREVIOUSLY HEARD FROM JOEL, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE, WE ALSO LOOK AT INSTEAD OF HOTEL ROOM NIGHTS WE

[00:50:04]

WHERE WE REVIEWED THE APPLICATIONS AND THEN NOTIFIED APPLICANTS OF FUNDING ON AUGUST THE 30TH.

THE APPLICANT DID HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO APPEAL AND THE APPEAL DEADLINE WAS ON THURSDAY SEPTEMBER THE FIFTH THE COMMITTEE DID RECEIVE ONE APPEAL AND WAS ABLE TO JUSTIFY FUNDING AND RECOMMENDED FUNDING TO THE ORGANIZATION.

THE ORGANIZATION INITIALLY DID NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH DETAIL AS TO BEING ELIGIBLE FOR THE FUNDING, WE WERE ABLE TO REVIEW THAT AND MAKE A FUNDING RECOMMENDATION FOR THE PARTICULAR ORGANIZATION, TONIGHT IS OUR RECOMMENDATION TO YOU ALL WITH THE FUNDING AMOUNT FOR EACH ORGANIZATION WITH THE INTENT THAT THE CONTRACTS WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE OCTOBER THE FIRST.

THIS IS AN OVERVIEW OF THE FUNDING ALLOCATION RECOMMENDED AMOUNTS, THERE ARE SEVERAL THAT ARE RETURNING APPLICANT, ALL OF THESE ARE RETURNING WE ONLY HAD ONE NEW APPLICANT THIS YEAR BUT DO NOT MEETING THE DEADLINE TO SUBMIT THE APPLICATION THEY WERE NOT RECOMMENDED FUNDING. WE DID HAVE A 5:00 O'CLOCK DEADLINE ON AUGUST THE 16TH AND WE RECEIVE THE COMPLETED DOCUMENTATION BY MONDAY MORNING THE FOLLOWING MONDAY, THEY DID NOT COMPLY WITH THE TIMELY DEADLINE AND THAT THE REASONING WHY THAT PARTICULAR ORGANIZATION WAS NOT RECOMMENDED FUNDING IN THIS CASE. BECAUSE WE DID NOT GET MORE REQUEST THEN ALLOTTED IF YOU WILL ALL REQUESTS WERE RECOMMENDED TO BE REFUNDED IN FULL.

ALL THE REQUESTS WE RECOMMENDED FULL FUNDING FOR THOSE BECAUSE WE HAD A BUDGET OF 70000 ORIGINALLY.

THE ADDITIONAL FUND BALANCE THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE DUE TO NOT HAVING ALL THE FUNDING ALLOCATED WILL ROLL INTO THE BALANCE SO WE CAN DISTRIBUTE FOR NEXT YEAR'S. I APOLOGIZE I WENT TOO FAR.

OURS IS A REIMBURSEMENT BASED GRANT, THE FUNDING IS NOT GIVEN TO THEM, OCTOBER 1, IT IS BASED ON REIMBURSED QUARTERLY, THEY SUBMIT THE REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST DOCUMENTATION TO US ON A QUARTERLY BASIS AND FINANCE WILL DISTRIBUTE THAT FUNDING.

WE WAIT UNTIL THOSE EVENTS OCCUR, THEY ARE PROGRAMMING WHETHER SALARY BASE FOR PROGRAM BASE.

THAT IS HOW OURS WORKS AS WELL. >> JUST AGAIN AND OVERVIEW, SIX AWARDS RECOMMENDED TOTALING $61000, REIMBURSEMENT WILL BE BASED ON A QUARTERLY BASIS, THE EXCESS FUND BALANCE THAT WE HAVE WHICH IS $9000 WHICH WILL BE ROLLED INTO THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR BUDGET. WERE LOOKING TO MAKE PROGRAM ADJUSTMENTS TO HELP STREAMLINE SOME OF THE THINGS INCLUDING OFFERING ADDITIONAL APPLICATION SUCCESS WORKSHOPS FOR APPLICANTS AND MAKING HER FOR MORE OF AN ELECTRONIC FORM SO IT HELPS WITH THE DEADLINE REQUIREMENTS AS FAR AS GETTING SUBMITTED BY THE DUE DATE TO HELP STREAMLINE THE PROCESS.

I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

>> ANY QUESTIONS? >> I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THIS BUT IT ELUDES TO THE CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY PROGRAM.

EARLIER YOU DID 16 INSPECTIONS THAT TARGET, MEMORY SERVES ME CORRECTLY THEN THE INSPECTIONS OF THE PAST, USUALLY THERE WOULD BE NOBODY THAT WOULD PASS, WERE THERE ANY PASSES THIS TIME?

>> I HAVE NOT GONE FULL DETAILS FROM THE ORGANIZATION I HAVE ASKED FOR. IN TERMS OF NUMBER OF THINGS I DO KNOW FROM MY EXPERIENCE AT LEAST THREE OUT OF FOUR DO NOT COME PROPERLY RESTRAINED, I DON'T HAVE ALL THE FULL DETAILS, THEY ARE STILL GOING THROUGH ALL THE FORM SINCE IT WAS AN INSTRUCTION BASE CLASS, EACH OF THE TEXT, I PERSONALLY DID NOT DO ANY MYSELF BECAUSE I HAD TO LET THE NEW TEXT HANDLE THAT PART. BUT I WILL CERTAINLY FIND OUT

AND I WILL FOLLOW-UP WITH YOU. >> I MENTIONED THAT BECAUSE I HOPE THE PUBLIC TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITY AND THE EXPERTISE THAT IS OUT THERE FOR THE COMMUNITY FOR OUR CHILDREN

SAFETY. >> I WAS LOOKING AT DETAILS THIS MORNING TO THE CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY BOARD AND ONLY ONE IN FIVE PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS ASKED FOR HELP ON INSTALLING THEIR CAR SEATS, THAT DATA SHOWS THAT WE COME INTO MANY THAT ARE

NOT PROPERLY RESTRAINED. >> AS WE ARE DOING COMMUNITY IN PUBLIC SERVICE, THE CHARGE FOR YOUR SERVICE, THE CHARGE FOR THE
