[3. PUBLIC COMMENTS]
COUNCIL. ITEM NUMBER THREE. OUR PUBLIC COMMENTS. CITY SECRETARY, DO WE HAVE ANYONE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT? YES, MR. MAYOR, WE DO. BRUCE AND MRS. DOMBROWSKI, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. AND PLEASE ADHERE TO THE THREE MINUTE TIME LIMIT. I'M BACK.WHY ARE YOU ANNEXING THIS MUD? WHAT IS THE PURPOSE? TO GET EXTRA TAX REVENUE. YOU'LL ELIMINATE THEIR MUD TAX, SO YOU'LL GET CITY PROPERTY TAXES. INSTEAD. YOU ANNEX SIENNA MUD NUMBER TWO. THAT'S GOING TO BE A DISASTER. WHY ARE YOU CANNIBALIZING THE REST OF FORT BEND COUNTY WHEN YOU CAN'T EVEN TAKE CARE OF WHAT YOU HAVE? WHY CAN'T YOU PUT IN A PROGRAM TO LET THE OTHER MUDS IN MISSOURI CITY CONTROL THEIR COSTS, INSTEAD OF TRYING TO GET EXTRA REVENUE OUT OF PEOPLE WHO PROBABLY DON'T WANT ANY PART OF MISSOURI CITY. AND THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS, WHY IS THIS COUNCIL PUSHING THIS THROUGH NOW? WHY CAN IT NOT WAIT UNTIL DECEMBER OR JANUARY, WHEN WE HAVE A NEW CITY COUNCIL AND CAN MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION? THANK YOU.
THAT CONCLUDES PUBLIC COMMENTS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ITEM NUMBER FOUR. OUR DISCUSSION AND
[(a) Public Hearing - First of Two Public Hearings - To receive comments fo...]
POSSIBLE ACTION FOUR IS A PUBLIC HEARING. FIRST OF THE TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS TO RECEIVE COMMENTS FOR OR AGAINST THE ANNEXATION OF PORTION OF CNN MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. WE HAVE A PRESENTATION BY OR COMMENTS BY JOYCE YAMO, CITY ATTORNEY. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. THIS IS THE FIRST OF TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS ON THE POTENTIAL ANNEXATION OF A PORTION OF THE SIENNA MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. THE SIENNA MANAGEMENT DISTRICT WAS CREATED IN 2003. IT PROVIDED FOR IN 2016. THE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT PROVIDED FOR A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF MISSOURI CITY, WHICH ALLOWED FOR ANNEXATION. THE ESTIMATED POPULATION OF THE SUBJECT AREA IS ABOUT 1100 PEOPLE, AND THAT'S AN ESTIMATE.WHEN THE LAST CENSUS WAS DONE, THIS AREA DID NOT HAVE OR WAS NOT FULLY POPULATED. THE SIENNA MANAGEMENT DISTRICT, AS YOU ALL KNOW, IS ALREADY LOCATED OR A MAJORITY OF IT IS ALREADY LOCATED WITHIN THE TERRITORIAL BOUNDARIES OF MISSOURI CITY. A PORTION OF IT IS ALSO LOCATED WITHIN THE LIMITED PURPOSE AREA OF MISSOURI CITY AS WELL, AND A PORTION OF THE SUBJECT AREA IS IN THE ETJ. THIS IS A MAP OF THE POTENTIAL ANNEXATION AREA. AS MENTIONED, A PORTION OF IT IS ALREADY LOCATED WITHIN THE LIMITED PURPOSE AREA THAT WOULD BE THE AREA EAST OF SIENNA PARKWAY, JUST OFF OF WATTS PLANTATION. THE AREA ON THE WEST IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN THE ETJ. WHAT IS ANNEXATION? ANNEXATION IS EXPANDING THE CITY'S BOUNDARIES. IT'S GOVERNED BY STATE LAW AS WELL AS CONTRACT. AS MENTIONED, THE SIENNA MANAGEMENT DISTRICT AUTHORIZED ANNEXATION PURSUANT TO A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT IN 2016. INDIVIDUALS WHO WHO PURCHASED PROPERTY IN THE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT AND REALLY ALL SPECIAL DISTRICTS IN THE STATE ARE PROVIDED WITH NOTICE THAT THEIR LAND MAY BE ANNEXED IN TO A CITY IF THERE IS A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT, A COPY OF THAT NOTICE IS BEFORE YOU AND IT'S IN THE PRESENTATION. THE QUESTION HAS COME UP WHY ANNEX NOW? THIS POTENTIAL ANNEXATION IS BEING RAISED NOW DUE TO CONFUSION IN THE AREA THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY ANNEXING. ADDITIONALLY, A PORTION OF THAT AREA, AS MENTIONED, IS ALREADY IN THE CITY'S LIMITED PURPOSE AREA. ADDITIONALLY, AS YOU ALL KNOW, THE CITY IS CURRENTLY INVOLVED IN LITIGATION WITH A TRAVELING HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION THAT HAS LOCATED IN THIS AREA.
THERE HAS ALSO BEEN A REVIEW OF THE COST BENEFIT OF THIS PARTICULAR ANNEXATION, AND THE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH THE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT DOES EXPIRE IN 2026. AND SO THIS SLIDE IN THE NEXT SLIDE SIMPLY PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF THE SERVICES THAT ARE PROVIDED.
AS YOU ALL CAN SEE, A LOT OF THE SERVICES THAT ARE ALREADY PROVIDED IN THIS AREA ARE
[00:05:04]
PROVIDED BY THE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. THE CITY WOULD CERTAINLY COME IN TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SERVICES AS IT RELATES TO CODE ENFORCEMENT, LAW ENFORCEMENT PERMITTING, BUT THE STREETS, AT LEAST THE SIENNA PARKWAY, THAT PORTION OF SIENNA PARKWAY, IS ALREADY INSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS. AND SO ADDITIONALLY, CERTAIN THINGS LIKE WATER AND SEWER ARE ALREADY PROVIDED BY THE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. AND THIS POTENTIAL ANNEXATION WOULD NOT CHANGE THOSE ITEMS. ADDITIONAL ITEMS THAT WOULD CHANGE ZONING WOULD APPLY. AS I MENTIONED, THIS AREA HAS BEEN A SOURCE FOR SOME CONFUSION WITH SOME FOLKS WHO WERE TRYING TO DEVELOP AND GROW BUSINESSES IN THAT AREA. SO THIS WILL CLARIFY WHAT ZONING CERTAINLY APPLIES TO THAT AREA. ANIMAL SERVICES AND FIRE IS ACTUALLY ALREADY PROVIDED BY CONTRACT TO THIS AREA. SO THIS WOULD JUST ALLOW THESE THE RESIDENTS IN THAT AREA AND THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES TO RECEIVE FIRE AS TAXPAYERS. THE CITY WOULD NOT BE DISSOLVING THE SIENNA MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. THE CITY IS AUTHORIZED BY A CONTRACT TO CONTINUE ON THE DISTRICT. THIS WOULD NOT THIS ACTION WOULD NOT DISSOLVE THAT DISTRICT. SO NO ASSETS OR LIABILITIES WOULD TRANSFER. THOSE WOULD ALL BE MAINTAINED BY THE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. THE FISCAL ANALYSIS.THERE IS A PROPERTY TAX BENEFIT THE CITY WOULD RECEIVE AFTER TAKING OUT THE AMOUNT THAT THEY'RE CURRENTLY PAYING FOR FIRE FEES, ABOUT $540,000 PER YEAR. BUT THIS, OF COURSE, COULD INCREASE BECAUSE PORTIONS OF THE LAND HAVE NOT BEEN DEVELOPED YET. AND THE REASON THIS IS BEING PROPOSED AT THIS TIME IS BECAUSE IN ORDER TO TAX PROPERTIES, THEY HAVE TO BE ON THE CITY'S ROLL BY JANUARY 1ST OF THE OF THE YEAR ON WHICH THE TAX IS IMPOSED. SO THE NEXT STEPS ARE TO HOLD YOUR FIRST AND SECOND PUBLIC READING OR APOLOGIZE PUBLIC HEARING, AND ALSO TO PROVIDE THE THE ORDINANCE READING ON FIRST READING ON NOVEMBER 17TH AND THEN SECOND AND FINAL READING WOULD BE IN DECEMBER. OKAY. THANK YOU JOYCE. CRYSTAL. SO SO I CAN OPEN IT NOW RIGHT. FOR THE PUBLIC. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL NOW GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ITEM FOUR. A CITY SECRETARY. DO WE HAVE ANY REQUEST ON ITEM TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? NO, MR. MAYOR, WE DO NOT. OKAY. IF THERE'S NO FURTHER COMMENTS, WE'LL NOW GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR A. AND THEN SO I KNOW OUR JUST SO EVERYONE KNOW THAT THIS THING IS NOT WORKING RIGHT. SO WHAT IS THIS CALLED THE QUEUE SYSTEM. RIGHT. SO IF THERE ARE ANY MEMBERS OF WANTS TO MAKE COMMENTS PLEASE ADDRESS. AND THEN I'LL WRITE YOUR NAME AND THEN WE'LL GO FROM THERE. SO WE'LL GO TO COUNCIL MEMBER O'DEKIRK FIRST. GO AHEAD. THANK YOU THANK YOU MAYOR. SO I JUST WANT TO RECONFIRM THAT WE ARE NOT TAKING ON ANY ADDITIONAL DEBT. CORRECT. THIS WOULD NOT DISSOLVE THE SIENA MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. THANK YOU. AND THEN AS FAR AS YOU MENTIONED, STREETS, WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FOR THE MAJOR ROADS IN THIS AREA, CORRECT. FOR SIENNA PARKWAY, FOR SEEING A PARKWAY. BUT THESE ARE GATED COMMUNITY APARTMENT COMMUNITIES. THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN PARKING LOTS AND ALL THAT STUFF. CERTAINLY. SO FOR WHAT'S INSIDE THOSE PRIVATE PROPERTY LINES, THOSE PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR JUST LIKE ANYWHERE ELSE. AND THEN THE TIMELINE, ANY OTHER MEETING ON THIS TOPIC HAPPENS AFTER THE ELECTION DATE. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT. SO THE NEW COUNCIL WILL BE DECIDING WHOMEVER THAT IS THIS ISSUE.
THAT'S CORRECT. THANK YOU. RECOGNIZING COUNCILMEMBER RILEY. THANK YOU. MAYOR. ONE OF MY QUESTIONS WAS ASKED IN REGARDS TO THE DEBT. BUT CITY MANAGER, IS THERE ANY ADDITIONAL COSTS THAT'S GOING TO COST US FOR ANY SERVICES OR ARE WE GOING TO NEED ADDITIONAL STAFF? IS THIS GOING TO PUT PRESSURE ON OUR CURRENT STAFF? ALL STAFF WAS ASKED TO RESPOND TO ANY INCREASED SERVICES THAT WERE WOULD BE REQUIRED, AND THE ANSWER BACK WAS NOMINAL. SO NO STAFF CHANGES WOULD BE NECESSARY. GIVEN THE HISTORY OF THIS AREA. OKAY. AND SO THERE'S AN 1100 POPULATION. HOW MANY HOMES ARE THERE ACTUALLY AND HOW MUCH REVENUE DOES THAT BRING US. SO THESE ARE ACTUALLY MULTIFAMILY APARTMENT COMPLEXES. THERE ARE NOT SINGLE FAMILY
[00:10:04]
RESIDENTIAL UNITS IN THIS AREA. THERE ARE ABOUT 860 APARTMENT UNITS, BUT EACH PROPERTY IS VALUED AT ABOUT $40 MILLION EACH. APARTMENT COMPLEX PROPERTY. OF COURSE, THERE ARE SOME LAND INCLUDED IN THE AREA THAT IS OWNED BY PUBLIC ENTITIES. AS YOU ALL KNOW, THAT WOULD NOT BE TAXABLE, BUT A BULK OF IT IS THE MULTIFAMILY. AND SO THOSE ARE ABOUT 40 MILLION. AND HOW MANY UNITS ARE THERE? I MEAN, HOW MANY SEPARATE APARTMENT COMPLEXES? THERE ARE THREE SEPARATE APARTMENT COMPLEXES. BUT THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THOSE APARTMENT COMPLEX UNITS ARE ABOUT 860. AND I'M ASSUMING. BUT I DON'T EVEN LIKE TO ASSUME THAT THE PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE POTENTIAL. SO THE CITY HAS FOLLOWED THE STATE LAW REQUIREMENTS. AND AS MENTIONED, WHEN PROPERTY OWNERS PURCHASE THE PROPERTY, THEY DO RECEIVE THAT NOTICE. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN INDIVIDUALLY NOTIFIED BY THE CITY, BUT WE HAVE FOLLOWED THE STATE LAW REQUIREMENTS FOR NOTIFICATION. SO IS THAT A SHORT ANSWER RECENTLY? THEY HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED RECENTLY? NO, NOT WITHIN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. AND WILL YOU GUYS. NOT BY THIS, NOT BY THE CITY DIRECTLY. BUT AGAIN WE HAVE FOLLOWED WE'VE PUBLISHED NOTICE IN THE NEWSPAPER AND WE HAVE FOLLOWED THE LEGALLY REQUIRED NOTIFICATION ITEMS. AND SO WHY ARE WE DOING THIS RIGHT NOW AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME, AS MENTIONED. AND LET ME WHAT IS THE DEADLINE. SO THERE'S NOT A SPECIFIC DEADLINE BUT THERE ARE CONSIDERATIONS. SO AS MENTIONED AND I CAN GO BACK TO THAT SLIDE. BUT AS MENTIONED ONE OF THOSE CONSIDERATIONS IS THE FACT THAT IN ORDER TO TAX PROPERTY, YOU HAVE TO HAVE THAT PROPERTY WITHIN YOUR JURISDICTION BY JANUARY 1ST. THANK YOU. BY JANUARY 1ST OF THE YEAR.ADDITIONALLY, AS NOTED, THERE HAS BEEN SOME CONFUSION ABOUT REGULATIONS THAT APPLY IN THE SUBJECT AREA. AS I MENTIONED, A PORTION IS IN THE LIMITED PURPOSE AREA AND A PORTION IS IN THE ETJ AREA. ADDITIONALLY, THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO FOR OUTSIDE ENTITIES, COUNTIES AND CITIES OUTSIDE OF FORT BEND COUNTY TO COME IN AND TAKE SOME OF THESE PROPERTIES OFF THE TAX ROLLS AS TRAVELING HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION. SO THAT IS ALSO A CONSIDERATION. AND THEN AS MENTIONED AS WELL, THE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH THE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT DOES EXPIRE IN 2026. AND WITH THAT, IF COUNCIL PROCEEDS WITH THIS, WHEN, WHEN THEY GO ON THE TAX ROLL WITH US, WHEN DO WE BEGIN COLLECTING. SO TAXES ARE ASSESSED IN SEPTEMBER USUALLY OR OCTOBER. SO IN ORDER TO ASSESS THEM THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE ON THE ROLLS IN JANUARY SO THEIR TAXES WOULD BECOME DUE. ONCE THE CITY ASSESSES TAXES IN SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER OF 26. AND WILL THERE BE ANY ALLOWANCES FOR THEM NOT PAYING TAXES FOR A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME OF ANY SORT? IS THE CITY GOING TO ABSORB ANYTHING ADDITIONAL COST NOW? SO ONE REASON THIS IS BEING RECOMMENDED AT THIS TIME IS BECAUSE WE CATCH THAT JANUARY 1ST DATE, WHICH DOES ALLOW THE CITY TO TAX THE PROPERTY, JUST LIKE THE CITY WOULD TAX ANY OTHER PROPERTY IN ITS JURISDICTION. THEY JUST HAVE TO BE WITHIN THE CITY ON JANUARY 1ST. AND THEN MY LAST QUESTION IS TO CHIEF. WELL, THEY'RE NOT HERE, SO I'LL POSE THAT QUESTION TO YOU. CITY MANAGER. I WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU COULD FIND OUT IF THERE'S ANY RECORD OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OR MULTIPLE CALLS TO THOSE THREE COMPLEXES. YES. THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE ASSESSED AND WE RECEIVED INFORMATION BACK, RECOGNIZING THAT THE COUNTY CODES THINGS DIFFERENTLY THAN THE CITY. BUT THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 700 CALLS, IF I RECALL CORRECTLY, FOR THOSE PROPERTIES WITH SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF THOSE BEING MEDICAL RELATED. AND SO JUST BASED ON SOME OF THAT INFORMATION, IT IT WOULD NOT IMPACT ANY MORE THAN ANY OTHER PLACE IN THE CITY. OR AND WE HAVE MUTUAL AID AGREEMENTS AS WELL WHERE WE'RE ASSISTING THE COUNTY OR THE COUNTY ASSIST US. SO IT SHOULD NOT HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT.
AND DO YOU KNOW IF THESE 700 CALLS OVER WHAT PERIOD OF A YEAR? ONE YEAR. SO IT WAS ACTUALLY FROM JANUARY 1ST UNTIL ABOUT OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR. SO TEN MONTHS, ABOUT TEN MONTHS.
AND I THINK IT WAS APPROXIMATELY OR LESS THAN 10% WERE ACTUALLY LAW ENFORCEMENT CALLS. MOST OF THEM WERE CRIMINAL OR CRIMINAL. BUT MEDICAL CALLS AND SOME OTHER TYPES OF CALLS. AND THEN MY LAST QUESTION IN REGARDS TO THE ANNEX AREA, HAVE YOU IDENTIFIED,
[00:15:07]
IF ANY WHAT THE WHAT THE PROPERTY IS ZONED AS, AS FAR AS IS IT COMMERCIAL? IS IT RESIDENTIAL? IS THERE POTENTIAL TO BRING IN REVENUE IN THE AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN ANNEXED? SO BOTH PROPERTIES, ONE PROPERTY IS SUBJECT TO? WELL, BOTH PROPERTIES ARE IN THE SIENNA MANAGEMENT DISTRICT, BUT THERE ARE LAND USE PLANS THAT ARE TIED TO THE DIFFERENT AREAS.SO FOR EXAMPLE, THE PROPERTY ON THE EAST HAS ALREADY BEEN DESIGNATED FOR COMMERCIAL USE.
SO IT'S THE MULTIFAMILY. THERE IS A KIND OF A STRIP SHOPPING CENTER RIGHT UP FRONT. THERE'S A CAR WASH. THERE'S A. VACANT VACANT TRACT KIND OF RIGHT AT THE THE CORNER. AND THEN THE OTHER SIDE IS ALSO KIND OF THAT MULTI COMMERCIAL USE AS WELL. SO THEY'RE BOTH COMMERCIAL TRACKS. YEAH. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER ZONED THAT IS NOT GOING TO INTERFERE WITH RESIDENTIAL AREAS AND IMPACT THOSE HOMES THAT ARE ALREADY THERE. NOISE, YOU KNOW, VIEWS AND ALL OF THAT STUFF. YOU KNOW, THAT RESIDENTS COMPLAIN ABOUT WHEN A NEW DEVELOPMENT COMES OR WHATNOT. THE CITY WOULD STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH ZONING ONCE, OR IF THE CITY CHOOSES TO ANNEX THE PROPERTY, THE THIS PORTION IS JUST THE REALLY THE ANNEXATION PORTION. PURSUANT TO OUR ZONING ORDINANCE, ANY LAND THAT'S ANNEXED COMES IN AS SD. AND SO AFTER THAT, WITHIN ABOUT SIX MONTHS IT'S BEEN OR THREE MONTHS THAT PROPERTY WOULD THEN COME BEFORE THE BODY AGAIN FOR OFFICIAL ZONING. OKAY. THANK YOU. JOYCE. YES, MA'AM. YOU DO RECOGNIZE AND COUNCILMEMBER EMERY. SINCE WE'RE TAKING ON, I GUESS, SOME ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES. ANIMAL CONTROL AND POLICE AND FIRE. MY MY QUESTION IS, WILL TAKING OVER THOSE RESPONSIBILITIES DEGRADATE THE SERVICE LEVELS THAT WILL BE PROVIDED THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY PROVIDING TO, YOU KNOW, OUR AREAS AROUND THERE THAT YOU KNOW, THAT THE CITY IS SERVICING AND AND TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, MAINTAIN A AN APPROPRIATE SERVICE LEVEL.
SO, I MEAN, WE'RE BRINGING ON ANIMAL CONTROL. IS THAT GOING TO HAVE ANY IMPACT ON OUR ANIMAL CONTROL OPERATION THAT WE HAVE OR. WELL, FIRST LET ME JUST CLARIFY. FIRE IS ALREADY PROVIDING SERVICES TO THAT AREA. SO THERE'S DEFINITELY NO IMPACT IN REGARDS TO FIRE WITH ANIMAL CONTROL. I MEAN, IT'S LIKE ANYTHING ELSE THEY WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR RESPONDING TO.
KEEP IN MIND, WE JUST LOST HAVING TO RESPOND FOR STAFFORD. SO NOW THERE IS CAPACITY THERE TO TAKE ON MORE IF NECESSARY IN REGARDS TO PUBLIC SAFETY. AS MENTIONED EARLIER, ALL DIRECTORS WERE ASKED TO RESPOND TO THIS ANNEXATION AND PROVIDE INFORMATION IN TERMS OF IMPACT TO DETERMINE IF IT WOULD BE SIGNIFICANT OR NOT. AND EACH ONE REPORTED BACK THAT IT WOULD BE NOMINAL IMPACT, WHICH IS WHY WE ARE OPTING TO MOVE FORWARD BECAUSE THE BENEFIT OUTWEIGHS THE COST SIGNIFICANTLY. OKAY, SO ONE CAN ASSUME THAT IF WE DO THIS, WE'RE NOT GOING TO DEGRADATE OR DEGRADE ANY OF THE SERVICE LEVELS THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY PROVIDING TO THOSE THOSE AREAS. NOW THAT IS THE EXPECTATION. AND IT'S THE SAME EXPECTATION THAT WE HAD WITH THE ANNEXATION OF MUD TWO, THAT PROVED ACCURATELY BECAUSE IT DID NOT IMPACT SERVICES ANY MORE SIGNIFICANTLY THAN ANYTHING ELSE. OKAY, OKAY. THANK YOU. RECOGNIZING MAYOR PRO TEM BROWN, THANK YOU. MAYOR. I PRIMARILY HAVE TWO, MAYBE THREE QUESTIONS WITH REGARDS TO IF I'M LOOKING ON THE MAP, THE ONLY THING THAT'S CURRENTLY INSIDE OF ALL OF THESE COLORED AREAS ARE THE APARTMENT COMPLEXES. AND THE STRIP CENTER. IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT. AND I THINK THERE'S A CAR WASH NEXT TO THE STRIP CENTER. THERE'S A CAR WASH. BUT YES, IT'S CURRENTLY JUST THE APARTMENT COMPLEXES AND ALSO SOME DRAINAGE AS WELL, SOME DRAINAGE AS WELL. SO WHAT'S NORTH ON THE PICTURE? THAT IS FORT BEND. THAT IS FORT BEND PARKWAY PARKWAY. AND NORTH OF THAT IS CITY LIMITS. THERE'S PD EIGHT TO THE LEFT AND ACTUALLY PD EIGHT TO THE RIGHT AS WELL. OKAY. AND WITH REGARDS TO THE RESIDENTS WHO CURRENTLY LIVE INSIDE OF THE MULTIFAMILY PLACES, WHICH ONES ARE ABLE ARE ALLOWED TO VOTE CURRENTLY
[00:20:08]
WITHIN OUR CITY. SO THE INDIVIDUALS IN THE LIMITED PURPOSE AREA WHO ARE EAST OF SIENNA PARKWAY, THOSE INDIVIDUALS CAN ALREADY VOTE. OKAY. AND THEN THE INDIVIDUALS THAT WOULD BE TO THE WEST, THEN WE WOULD BE LOOKING TO PLACE THEM INSIDE OF WHICH DISTRICT.THOSE INDIVIDUALS, MOST OF THE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE WEST WHO ARE WEST OF SIENNA PARKWAY ARE IN DISTRICT C. OKAY. SO WE YOU KNOW, WE'D HAVE TO HONESTLY GET TO THE POINT WHERE WE START LOOKING AT TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO LEVEL OUT THE NUMBERS. EVENTUALLY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. THE MORE WE CONTINUE TO ANNEX AND BRING IN PROPERTIES, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO START TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT THAT. MY NEXT QUESTION IN TERMS OF TAXATION, CURRENTLY THE HOME WOULD BURDEN OUR TAXATION. IT WOULD BE THESE APARTMENT BUILDING OWNERS, CORRECT? CORRECT. AND SO DID WE DO LIKE A QUICK SYNOPSIS OF CURRENTLY WHAT THEY ARE PAYING, AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, WHO THEY'RE PAYING TAX WISE VERSUS WHO THEY WOULD BE START PAYING TAX WISE.
SO WE DID NOT DO THAT FOR THIS PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS. WE CAN CERTAINLY INCLUDE THAT SLIDE IN THE NEXT PRESENTATION WHERE WE DO KIND OF A SIDE BY SIDE. THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC. YES, MA'AM.
THANK YOU. OKAY. ANYONE ELSE. YEAH. THE QUEUE IS NOT WORKING. RECOGNIZING COUNCILMEMBER MALONEY. THANK YOU MAYOR. SO A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. HOW MUCH IS THE CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE SLIDE WITH THE MAP? THANK YOU. HOW MUCH IS CURRENTLY UNDEVELOPED OR PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OUT OF THAT. SO THE PORTION OF LAND THAT IS JUST WEST OF SIENNA PARKWAY AT THE TOP, THAT SQUARE IS UNDEVELOPED TO THE AT THE TOP RIGHT, TOP TOP TOP LEFT. SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE SCREEN, TOP LEFT. YOU SAID SQUARE. OKAY. SQUARE. IT LOOKS LIKE A SQUARE TO ME. OKAY.
MAYBE A PARALLELOGRAM A LITTLE BIT, BUT OKAY. THAT AREA IS UNDEVELOPED. AND THEN DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THAT IS ALSO UNDEVELOPED. SO MY QUESTION IS RELATIVE TO POTENTIAL ANNEXATION, IF ANNEXED WOULD BE LOOKING TO ASSESS THIS AS PART OF OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT WE'RE DOING. IS IT CURRENTLY YOU KNOW, WHAT IS IT ZONED CURRENTLY THE WAY WE WANT IT TO BE FOR THAT AREA? OR IS THERE A POTENTIAL FOR SOMETHING ELSE? RIGHT NOW, IT'S DESIGNATED IN THE AGREEMENTS FOR MIXED USE. I WOULD IMAGINE THAT THROUGH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE PROCESS, THAT THE COUNCIL CAN PROBABLY BE MORE SPECIFIC ABOUT WHAT IT WANTS TO SEE ON THOSE PARTICULAR CORNERS THROUGH THE PROCESS, BUT THEN, OF COURSE, YOU'D HAVE TO ZONE IT RIGHT AFTER THE THAT PROCESS. SO YOU SAID CURRENTLY IT'S ZONED FOR MIXED USE. CURRENTLY IT'S DESIGNATED FOR MIXED USE BY RIGHT NOW WE HAVE DESIGNATIONS BY CONTRACT. AND SO THOSE CONTRACTS PROVIDE FOR MIXED USES IN THOSE AREAS. OKAY.
THANKS. SO WHAT IS THE TOTAL COST OF SERVICES? I KNOW YOU MENTIONED THE WORD NOMINAL BUT WHAT DOES THAT ACTUALLY MEAN. IT'S REALLY HARD TO EQUATE IF WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ADDING ADDITIONAL STAFF OR LOOKING AT ADDITIONAL MAN HOURS. THAT WOULD INCREASE OVERTIME OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT. SO TO THE EXTENT THAT WE CAN ABSORB THOSE ADDITIONAL SERVICES WITHIN THE CURRENT RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE, THAT'S WHY WE SAY NOMINAL, BECAUSE IT IS NOT PROJECTED TO INCREASE OVERTIME OR ADDITIONAL STAFF NEEDS. YES. I'M JUST THINKING AS WE'RE CONTINUOUSLY BUILDING OUT AN AREA AND AND BRINGING IN NEW PROPERTIES, NEW BUILDINGS AND THESE THREE MULTIFAMILY APARTMENTS, YOU SAID 700. IT'S ABOUT. YES, IT'S ABOUT 800, 800.
THAT'S PRETTY SIGNIFICANT. SO TO ME, I CAN'T SEE US NOT HAVING TO INCREASE SERVICES, PARTICULARLY ON THE POLICE FRONT. AND, YOU KNOW, CODE ENFORCEMENT, ANIMAL SERVICES.
SO IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO AT LEAST GET AN ESTIMATE OF WHAT THAT COULD LOOK LIKE. BUT WE'VE LOOKED AT THE NUMBERS IN TERMS OF THE CALLS. AND AS WAS MENTIONED, MOST OF THOSE CALLS ARE MEDICAL RELATED. SO THAT'S NOT GOING TO IMPACT POLICE AT ALL. AND SO WHEN WE ALREADY HAVE FIRE COVERING THAT AREA FOR THOSE FOR ANIMAL CONTROL, AGAIN, IT'S IT'S NO DIFFERENT THAN WE WOULD ESTIMATE IF, SAY, AVALON VILLAGE. IF EVERYONE COMES IN WITH MULTIPLE PETS,
[00:25:01]
WE'RE NOT ASSESSING EVERY HOUSEHOLD IN TERMS OF WHAT THAT'S GOING TO DO TO RESPONSE OR HOW WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO TREAT THAT. WE EVALUATE THAT IN TERMS OF OUR SERVICE OFFERINGS. THAT'S WHAT WE DO AS A PART OF THE BUDGET PROCESS. WE MAKE ADJUSTMENTS THROUGH THE YEAR AS AS CHANGES OCCUR. BUT WE WE DONE A DEEP DIVE IN TERMS OF LOOKING AT THE HISTORY OF CALLS THAT HAVE COME IN FOR THAT AREA, LOOKING AT ANY UNDERSTANDING THAT WE MAY HAVE GOTTEN FROM THE COUNTY IN TERMS OF HOW THEY WOULD HAVE ADDRESSED ANY OF THOSE SERVICES.AND WE TOOK ALL OF THAT INTO ACCOUNT INTO A CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE, BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO TAKE ON ADDITIONAL SERVICES IF WE CAN'T IDENTIFY THE REVENUE THAT WE WOULD NEED TO ADDRESS THAT. AND SO LOOKING AT ALL OF THAT VERY IN A VERY DETAILED LEVEL, WE DID NOT IDENTIFY ANY ADDITIONAL STAFFING OR RESOURCE NEEDS TO BRING THIS THESE APARTMENTS ON.
AND AS A MATTER OF FACT, IT WAS ONLY AN UPSIDE BECAUSE WE HAVE VACANT PROPERTY THAT WE COULD ZONE TO SOMETHING THAT WILL GIVE US A HIGHER RETURN, AND IT GIVES US CONTROL OF THOSE CORNERS. SO THAT'S WHY STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THIS TO MOVE FORWARD. AND HOW MANY RESIDENTS ARE CURRENTLY AS FAR AS IN THIS AREA, MISSOURI CITY RESIDENTS. SO RIGHT NOW THE PORTION ON THE EAST THEY ARE LIMITED PURPOSE AREA INDIVIDUALS. I CAN PULL THE AMOUNT OF UNITS. I CAN'T GIVE YOU THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF RESIDENTS. ONE OF THE COMPLEXES WAS JUST BUILT, SO THESE AREAS WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE CENSUS, OR AT LEAST THE EAST EASTERN PORTION THAT'S IN THE LIMITED PURPOSE AREA WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE CENSUS. SO I DON'T HAVE EXACT NUMBERS, I ONLY HAVE AN ESTIMATE, BUT I CAN PROVIDE COUNCIL WITH THE NUMBER OF UNITS APARTMENT UNITS. SO WITH THAT, BECAUSE IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO KNOW HOW MANY RESIDENTS WERE TALKING ABOUT BRINGING IN. YOU MENTIONED 1100. SO IS THE 1100 A PART IS NEW, OR ARE THESE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN THE LIMITED? THAT INCLUDES THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CURRENTLY IN THE LIMITED PURPOSE. SO, SO. EVERYONE THAT'S TOTAL. THAT'S TOTAL. TOTAL. YES. OKAY. AND THAT'S JUST AN ESTIMATE. YEAH. WE CAN GET THAT INFORMATION. THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. AND I REALLY FEEL IT WOULD BE HELPFUL ALSO TO AT LEAST GET SOME SORT OF A ESTIMATE. SO SEEING THAT YOU TALK ABOUT THE NEED FOR ANIMAL SERVICES AND MORE POLICE, WE'RE GETTING RID OF THE FIRE. WE'RE NOT COLLECTING THE FIRE FEE ANYMORE. SO, YOU KNOW, 500 MILLION IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING 560 OR WHATEVER THE NUMBER WAS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT BRINGING IN. I JUST KIND OF WANT TO SEE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE OVER TIME. AND THEN, OF COURSE, BECAUSE IT'S NOT FULLY DEVELOPED OUT, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY WE CAN JUST GET AT LEAST A GOOD ESTIMATE OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AS FAR AS OUR EXPENSE OUTLAY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS. SO ARE THESE APARTMENTS THAT ARE ALREADY ESTABLISHED AS GATED OR NON GATED. SO THEY ARE GATED RIGHT.
SO IF THEY'RE GATED THAT MEANS ANIMALS RUNNING OUT RIGHT. WE WOULDN'T BE GOING IN THERE ANYWAY. ANIMALS RUNNING OUT OR PEOPLE GOING IN. THEY'RE BREAKING INTO CARS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE KEYPAD. YOU HAVE TO GET IN OR YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME WAY TO GET INSIDE.
RIGHT? YES. OKAY. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT IS THERE ANY WAY TO TELL OUT OF THESE GATED PROPERTIES HOW MANY ANIMALS THAT THAT WE HAD CALL FOR OR THAT COUNTY HAD A CALL FOR? NO, I COULD NOT SEE THAT ON THE STATISTICS. SO THAT'S THE REASON WHY I ASKED IF THEY'RE THESE ARE GATED BECAUSE EVEN EVEN WITH ANYONE COMING OUTSIDE, THEY HAVE A FRONT AREA WHERE YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH OR YOU HAVE TO GET A PAT OR KEY, A KEY CODE NUMBER OR SOMETHING FROM THEM TO GET INSIDE. RIGHT. SO YOU SAID 700 CALLS IN A YEAR. SO FORT BEND COUNTY MEDICAL TEAM THAT'S NOW OFF OF THE SIENNA ANNEX BUILDING. I'VE SEEN A LOT THAT'S GOING BACK IN THERE. BUT THE POLICE WISE, YOU KNOW, BREAKING IN AND ALL OF THAT, I WHEN YOU SAY NOMINAL, I UNDERSTAND BECAUSE IT'S GATED. YOU'RE NOT REALLY GETTING ANY ISSUES UNLESS YOU'RE OUTSIDE INTO A SHOPPING CENTER, PERIOD. SO WHEN YOU TALKED ABOUT CITY MANAGER, YOU SAID. THE CORNERS PROTECTING THE CORNERS. OR EXPLAIN THAT TO ME A LITTLE BIT. JUST BASICALLY I MEAN, THOSE ARE MAJOR THOSE ARE MAJOR CORNERS. AND AS WE'RE LOOKING AT OUR COMP PLAN AND WANTING TO CREATE OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPAND BUSINESS USE OF CORNERS, THOSE TO ME ARE VERY STRATEGIC IN ALLOWING US TO BE ABLE TO ZONE THOSE IN THE MANNER THAT'S GOING TO GIVE US THE HIGHEST
[00:30:02]
RATE OF RETURN. OKAY, SO SO WHAT I'M HEARING YOU SAY IS THAT NOMINAL, WHICH IS I WOULD ASSUME THAT BECAUSE IT'S GATED, I LIVE OFF OF THERE. SO THAT'S WHY I ASKED THE QUESTION. SO BESIDES FIRE, YOU'RE ALREADY PAYING FOR FIRE PROTECTION THROUGH AN AGREEMENT. LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT AGREEMENT THAT YOU SAID IN THE INITIAL YOU SAID THAT THERE WAS AN AGREEMENT. WHAT WHAT IS THAT? SO ARE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT AGREEMENT IS. SO BEFORE LAND IS FULLY DEVELOPED, THE OWNERS MAY ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT OR SPECIAL DISTRICTS MAY ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE MUNICIPALITY TO DEVELOP THOSE TRACTS OF LAND.AND SO, FOR EXAMPLE, A LOT OF THE AREA SOUTH OF THIS WAS DEVELOPED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE THE LARGER SIENNA PLANTATION DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. THIS AREA IS SUBJECT TO A SEPARATE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT WAS AGREED TO IN 2016. OKAY. SO IF YOU GO BACK TO THAT SLIDE WHERE PEOPLE WITH THE AGREEMENT. OKAY. RIGHT HERE. SO AS WE ALL OWN HOMES OR CLOSE ON A PROPERTY, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE OWNERS SIGN OFF ON. CORRECT. MEANING WHAT IS IT. WHAT IS THIS SIGNING OFF IS TELLING A PERSON. SO THIS IS IN EFFECT TELLING A PERSON THAT WHEN THEY PURCHASE THEIR PROPERTY, ONE THEY WILL HAVE TO PAY ASSESSMENTS OR ADDITIONAL TAXES TO THE SPECIAL DISTRICT. BUT IT ALSO PROVIDES INFORMATION NOTIFYING THEM THAT THEY MAY OR THEIR LAND MAY BE ANNEXED INTO THE CITY LIMITS. AND SO THE LANGUAGE THAT'S CIRCLED IS THAT LAND. OKAY. SO ANY BUYER WOULD HAVE TO SIGN THIS IF THEY ARE IN AN AREA THAT'S SUBJECT TO AN AGREEMENT. YES. RIGHT. SO, SO SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO SIGN IT WITH THE WITH THE DATE AND ANONYMOUS. ALL RIGHT. SO WHAT IS THE WHOLE SIENNA. THE 2026. THE AGREEMENT THAT WAS IN 1994 OR 90. WHAT WAS THAT AGREEMENT ABOUT. SO THAT AGREEMENT IS SEPARATE.
THAT AGREEMENT IS DOESN'T COINCIDE WITH THIS. THAT'S NOT THIS LAND IS SUBJECT TO A DIFFERENT AGREEMENT FOR SIENNA MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. SO ON THE NORTH OF THIS IS ALREADY IN CITY LIMITS, CORRECT. RIGHT. SO JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THIS PORTION, THAT'S WHAT IT IS. SO ULTIMATELY. HOW DOES THIS BENEFIT THE CITY. SO ULTIMATELY ULTIMATELY IT BENEFITS THE CITY IN TERMS OF AND YOU KNOW, AS I MENTIONED, THE CITY IS ACTUALLY CURRENTLY IN LITIGATION WITH ONE OF THE APARTMENT COMPLEXES. THIS PROVIDES A BENEFIT SO THAT THE CITY IS ABLE TO CONTROL MORE OF ITS LAND USES IN THIS AREA. IT'S ABLE TO ADDITIONALLY ADDITIONALLY RAISE SOME REVENUE FROM THIS AREA AS WELL. AND THEN IT BENEFITS THE RESIDENTS AND THE PROPERTY OWNERS BECAUSE THERE'S LESS CONFUSION ABOUT WHERE THEY LIVE, ABOUT WHAT REGULATIONS APPLY TO THEM. AND AND GENERALLY THOSE ARE THE BENEFITS. AND THEN, OF COURSE, THEY GET THE BENEFIT OF THE EXCELLENT SERVICES THAT ARE PROVIDED BY OUR ENTIRE CITY TEAM. OKAY, JUST THE LAST QUESTION THAT I HAVE ON THIS IS SO WE'RE NOT PAYING. THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL BECAUSE IT'S COMING IN JANUARY 1ST, THAT THERE'S NO NO NOTHING COMING OUT OF THE TAXPAYERS OF THIS CITY. CORRECT.
OR BECAUSE WE BECAUSE THE CITY IS NOT DISSOLVED OR YOU ALL HAVE NOT DECIDED TO DISSOLVE THE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. YOU'RE NOT TAKING ON ASSETS, YOU'RE NOT TAKING ON LIABILITIES. THAT MANAGEMENT DISTRICT WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES THAT IT PROVIDES. AND BECAUSE IT'S BEING ADDED JANUARY 1ST, THE LAND WILL BE TAXED OR CAN BE TAXED IN. SO IF WE'RE NOT, IF WE'RE NOT TAKING ANY ASSETS OR IF WE'RE NOT DOING ANY OF THAT, WHAT'S THE WHAT'S THE RETURN, WHAT'S COMING IN. SO THE RETURN WOULD BE THE TAX REVENUE THAT'S ASSESSED IN OCTOBER OR SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER. WHAT WAS THAT NUMBER? IT IS. AND THIS IS OF COURSE, AN ESTIMATE BASED ON CURRENT TAXES CURRENT VALUE, CURRENT VALUE, CURRENT VALUE AND CURRENT TAX RATE. OKAY. SO THE CITY COULD POTENTIALLY FROM THIS THE NET REVENUE, RIGHT.
YES. IT'S WHAT YOU'RE SHOWING $540,000 BASED ON TODAY. CORRECT. WHAT IT IS. AND THAT COULD GO UP BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IT GOES UP. BUT FOR THE NEW WHEN YOU SAY CONTROLLING JUST SO THAT WE UNDERSTAND. SO THIS WOULD NOT ALLOW THAT KIND OF A CORPORATION TO ONCE IT'S IN CITY LIMIT TO GO IN BACK AND TAKE THESE INTO WHAT'S THE WORD I'M LOOKING FOR THE, THE TYPE OF TAKING THESE APARTMENTS AND PUTTING IT INTO TAX EXEMPTIONS, TAX EXEMPTION. SO YES, THERE
[00:35:07]
WAS A NEW STATE LAW THAT PASSED THIS YEAR THAT PROVIDED THAT ANY OUT OF COUNTY, KIND OF OUT OF CITY HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION HAS TO COME BACK TO THE JURISDICTION IN WHICH THEY'RE THEY ARE OWNING PROPERTY AND TRYING TO EXEMPT PROPERTY IN 2027. AND SO, YES, SO THE VACANT LANDS, IF ANYONE TRIES TO COME IN AND BUILD IT, THAT WOULD GO WITH OUR REGULATIONS AND OUR ZONING REGULATIONS THAT WE WOULD HAVE. YES. VERSUS TODAY THAT ANYONE CAN COME IN THERE AND COME UP WITH ANYTHING. WELL, NOW IT'S SUBJECT TO AN AGREEMENT. BUT AS WE'VE SEEN WITH PREVIOUS APPLICATIONS, THERE'S CONFUSION THERE. SO THERE'S A CONFUSION.SO THIS WOULD ULTIMATELY WOULD BENEFIT. SO WITHOUT HAVING ANY CITY, ANY ANY COST TO THE CITY THAT YOU WOULD BE WITH THIS, YOU WOULD BE GAINING ABOUT HALF $1 MILLION IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. YES. THAT'S THE ESTIMATE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I YIELD BACK IF ANYONE ELSE.
MAYOR. YEAH I WAS JUST GOING TO ADD THAT STAFF WILL DEFINITELY GO BACK AND AND GET SOME MORE INFORMATION AS IT RELATES TO THE EXPENSES AND OUR ASSUMPTIONS. AND WE WILL ALSO CHECK TO WITH THE APARTMENT COMPLEX JUST TO SEE IF EVEN PETS ARE ALLOWED, BECAUSE NOT EVERY COMPLEX ALLOWS FOR PETS. SO WE WILL WE WILL CONFIRM AS MUCH AS WE CAN TO TRY TO GIVE MORE SPECIFICITY TO WHY WE'VE DEEMED THE EXPENSES NOMINAL, AND WE'LL AT THE NEXT OPPORTUNITY, WE'LL PRESENT THAT BACK. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SEEING NO ONE ELSE, THEN WE'LL GO TO
[(b) Receive a Presentation and Give Direction to Staff on potential locati...]
THANK YOU. WE'LL GO TO ITEM FOUR B, WHICH IS TO RECEIVE A PRESENTATION AND GIVE DIRECTION TO STAFF ON POTENTIAL LOCATION FOR EV CHARGING STATIONS WITHIN THE CITY CITY'S FACILITIES. WE HAVE PRESENTATION BY JASON MANGUM, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.GOOD EVENING. PURPOSE OF THIS ITEM IS TO RECEIVE DIRECTION ON THE LOCATION OF EV CHARGING STATIONS. WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH ON POINT TO CONSTRUCT SOME EV CHARGING STATIONS HERE IN THE CITY. JUST A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THAT PROGRAM. THESE ARE TURNKEY CHARGING SYSTEMS. THESE ARE REVENUE GENERATORS WITH NO COST TO THE CITY. THERE'LL BE AN INTERACTIVE DIGITAL KIOSK TIED TO CITY MARKETING THAT ALLOWS THE CITY TO MARKET OUR PROGRAMS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE, AS WELL AS OUTSIDE MARKETING AS WELL. THEY WILL BE MONITORED 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, 365 DAYS A YEAR TO ENSURE THAT THERE'S MAXIMUM UPTIME. AND THEN THERE WILL BE A BASE, A BASE SITE LICENSING FEE PAID TO THE CITY BY OUR PARTNER, PLUS A REVENUE SHARE. THAT'S THE BASIC OUTLINE OF THE AGREEMENT. THIS JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU THE ESTIMATED REVENUES THAT THE CITY IS ANTICIPATED TO RECEIVE AS PART OF THIS PROGRAM OVER THE YEARS, STARTING IN YEAR ONE AND THEN HAVING IT GROW. THIS GOES OUT TO YEAR TEN, AND WE ANTICIPATE A A EXPONENTIAL GROWTH OF EV VEHICLES AND THE NEED TO TO CHARGE THEM. THE REASON WE'RE HERE IS TO GET SOME DIRECTION ON LOCATIONS. ONE OF THE SITES IS HERE AT CITY HALL, AND WE HAVE THREE LOCATIONS THAT WE ARE PROPOSING AND LOOKING FOR SOME DIRECTION ON. THE FIRST ONE IS RIGHT OUT HERE IN FRONT OF CITY HALL. YOU SEE, THAT'S ON THIS AERIAL. THAT'S TEXAS PARKWAY TO THE RIGHT. IT'S THE MAIN ENTRANCE INTO CITY HALL. AND THIS WOULD PROVIDE CHARGING STATIONS RIGHT THERE. THERE'S SOME PROS AND CONS TO EACH ONE OF THESE SITES HERE AT CITY HALL. AND I'LL JUST BRIEFLY TOUCH ON THEM. OBVIOUSLY THIS ONE THE PRO IS THAT IT'S REALLY CLOSE TO TEXAS PARKWAY. AND TEXAS PARKWAY HAS HIGH TRAFFIC COUNTS. AND THESE ARE RAPID CHARGING STATIONS. SO WHERE PEOPLE CAN JUST PULL OFF AND GET A QUICK CHARGE IF THEY NEED TO, THIS WOULD GENERATE THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF REVENUE. SOME OF THE CONS WOULD BE THAT THAT IT TAKE UP EIGHT SPOTS OF WHAT'S CURRENTLY EMPLOYEE PARKING. ONE OF THE OTHER PROS IS THAT IT WOULD ALLOW POWER TO THOSE THAT AREA. WE'VE BEEN LOOKING TO DECORATE THAT FOR CHRISTMAS. THIS IS WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE. JUST A RENDERING ON THE BACKSIDE OF CITY HALL IS ONE OF THE OPTIONS AS WELL. MAKES IT A MORE DIFFICULT WALK IF SOMEONE'S VISITING CITY HALL, BUT WOULD SERVICE THOSE THAT ARE USING THE COMMUNITY CENTER ON A REGULAR BASIS AND ON EVENINGS AND WEEKENDS. IT'S VERY BUSY WITH THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE IN THAT, IN THAT SCENARIO. AND THEN THE LAST ONE IS SIMILAR, IS JUST NEAR THE LIBRARY INSTEAD. THIS WOULD KEEP IT OUT OF THE WAY OF WHERE WE HAVE A LOT OF OUR EVENT EVENT ASPECTS, LIKE WITH SNOW FEST, WE HAVE
[00:40:05]
THE MARKET AND STUFF ON THE PREVIOUS LOCATION. SO THIS IS LOCATION C AND WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE THERE. AND AGAIN, PROS ACCESS TO THE LIBRARY AND THE COMMUNITY CENTER, BUT WOULD RECEIVE LESS REVENUE ON THAT BECAUSE OF THE DISTANCE FROM TEXAS PARKWAY. THE LACK OF VISIBILITY AND LONGER STAY TIMES FOR THOSE FOLKS. THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION, THE STAFF AND THE CONSULTANT HAVE BEEN MEETING ON THIS REGULARLY, AND THE RECOMMENDATION IS A IN FRONT OF CITY HALL. WE HAVE TWO OTHER LOCATIONS THAT ARE PRETTY WE FEEL ARE PRETTY SOLID. THAT IS ONE IN FRONT OF THE RECREATION AND TENNIS CENTER. IT'S THE NORTH SIDE OF THE RECREATION AND TENNIS CENTER FOR THOSE FOLKS THAT ARE VISITING THAT FACILITY, AND AS WELL AS THE GOLF COURSE, THIS ONE IS ON THE EAST SIDE OF LA QUINTA, THE VERY NORTH SIDE OF THE PARKING LOT NEAR THE DRIVING RANGE AND PRACTICE FACILITY. THESE THESE CHARGING STATIONS WOULD PROVIDE FOR THOSE THAT ARE VISITING THAT THAT FACILITY AS WELL. RIGHT NOW, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND WE'D BE ANXIOUS TO TO RECEIVE YOUR DIRECTION.OKAY. RECOGNIZING COUNCIL MEMBER CLOUSER. YES. THANK YOU. JASON. YOU MENTIONED PROGRAM WHEN YOU FIRST OPENED UP THE DISCUSSION. AND THAT CAUGHT MY MY ATTENTION WHEN YOU SAID PROGRAMS, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY PROGRAMS? THIS IS WE HAVE WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH ON POINT.
AND SO THIS IS A PROGRAM WHERE THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR INSTALLING AND MAINTAINING THESE REVENUES. ARE THESE CHARGING STATIONS. AND WE WOULD DO A COST SHARE ON IT. SO IT'S THE THE ELECTRONIC VEHICLE CHARGING PROGRAM OKAY. OKAY. THE OTHER QUESTION I HAVE IS THE CRITERIA ON MARKETING. WHAT IS GOING TO BE THE CRITERIA ON MARKETING. YEAH, THAT'S UP TO US. THE VENDORS HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. BUT WE WERE CHATTING EARLIER AND YOU KNOW THAT'S IT'S NOT A MAJOR SOURCE OF REVENUE. AND SO WE WOULD HAVE FULL CONTROL OVER THAT. WE'D BE ABLE TO APPROVE ANY OUTSIDE MARKETING THAT WE CAN DEVELOP THE CRITERIA THROUGH OUR COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT, MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE WHEN IT COMES TO THE TYPES OF ADVERTISING THAT WILL ALLOW. AND THEN WE HAVE 100% ANYTHING THAT WE WANT TO ADVERTISE ON, THOSE THAT ARE THAT CITY RELATED, UNLIMITED AMOUNT FOR, FOR THAT AS WELL. OKAY. CAN I CAN YOU BRING THE GENTLEMAN UP TO ANSWER A FEW QUESTIONS? HI, HOW ARE YOU? GOOD. WHAT'S YOUR NAME? RUSS MCNAUGHTON. HELLO, MR. PINKERTON. SO WHERE ARE YOUR CLOSEST CHARGING STATIONS? SUGARLAND IN SUGARLAND. OKAY. AT THE AIRPORT AND ALSO AT IMPERIAL PARK. SO WE HAVE TWO LOCATIONS. OKAY. AND ARE THOSE STATIONS ARE THEY RUNNING MARKETING PROGRAMS AS WELL? OKAY. TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE MARKETING PROGRAMS. HOW YOU ALL HOW THEY'RE CONTROLLED AND THE TYPES OF MARKETING THAT THEY ARE RUNNING.
SO WHAT THEY ARE ARE INTERACTIVE DIGITAL DISPLAYS. SO JUST A KIOSK LIKE YOU'D HAVE IN FRONT OF YOUR BUILDING, THE ADVERTISING IS DRIVEN THROUGH A CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, WHICH YOU HAVE A DASHBOARD. YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO PUT THAT CONTENT IN. SO IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE AN EVENT OR PROMOTE A PARTICULAR, YOU KNOW, VENUE OR SOMETHING'S GOING ON, YOU CAN DO THAT. WE ALSO WILL SOURCE LOCAL ADVERTISING FROM RESTAURANTS. ANY KIND OF, YOU KNOW, CONVENIENCE OPERATORS THAT MAY WANT TO BRING EVEN DELIVER BEVERAGES OR FOOD TO THE CHARGING STATIONS BECAUSE PEOPLE COME IN, THEY'LL COME OFF A HIGHWAY, THEY'LL PARK, THEY'LL CHARGE. SO WE WILL GIVE THEM THE OPTION TO BRING IN SOME ADDITIONAL SERVICES. OKAY.
AND DID YOU SAY THAT THAT'S CONTROLLED? I KNOW YOU SAID IT'S A CONTENT CREATION, BUT IS THAT CONTROLLED BY THE CITY? THE CITY FUNDS THAT THE CITY HAS FINAL APPROVAL AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON TO THOSE KIOSKS. OKAY, OKAY. AND WHAT ISSUES, IF ANY, HAVE YOU ALL SEEN WITH THE MARKETING? JUST BEING TRANSPARENT. THERE REALLY HAVE NOT BEEN MANY BECAUSE A LOT OF IT IS DRIVEN AROUND THE CUSTOMER. THEY'RE VERY SAVVY. OKAY. SO WHEN THEY PULL UP, THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO KNOW THAT THEY'RE IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT. SO WE BRING IN A CANOPY OVER TOP WITH LIGHTS, CAMERAS, EVERYTHING IS THERE. SO THEY FEEL SECURE. OKAY.
THAT'S WHY THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO FRONT OF CITY HALL VERSUS THE BACKSIDE, BECAUSE PEOPLE JUST HAVE A TENDENCY TO NOT WANT TO PARK INTO A DARK PARKING LOT SOMEWHERE. YES, BUT THE KIOSK DOES DRIVE CONTENT. IT WILL WELCOME YOU. SO IF YOU HAVE A RESERVED TIME, IT WILL TELL YOU WHAT SPOT YOU SHOULD GO TO. OKAY. SO IT GIVES YOU A LITTLE BIT OF THAT SO PEOPLE AREN'T WAITING IN LINE TO GO TO A CHARGING STATION. SO WE HANDLE RESERVATIONS OKAY. SO IT REALLY IS VERY INTERACTIVE BUT THERE'S BEEN NO DOWNSIDE TO IT OKAY. AND WHAT ELSE AM I MISSING. WHAT GIVE US GIVE US SOME INFORMATION THAT WELL EV CHARGERS EV VEHICLES ARE
[00:45:05]
GROWING. EVERY MARKET IS DIFFERENT I HAVE ONE YOU HAVE ONE. SO THE KEY IS REALLY TO HAVE THE, YOU KNOW, SUSTAINABILITY THE ENERGY SAVING WITH EVS BRING TO CONSUMERS. I THINK IT REALLY DELIVERS A VERY STRONG MESSAGE FOR THE COMMUNITY. SO WE LIKE TO PROMOTE THAT. I THINK WE'RE SEEING RAPID CHARGING. THAT'S WHAT THESE SYSTEMS ARE. SO WE MAINTAIN THEM. IF THERE'S CHANGE IN TECHNOLOGY, WE WILL CHANGE. OKAY. SO LIKE IF YOU'RE DRIVING A TESLA, YOU HAVE A CERTAIN CONNECTOR. IF YOU'RE DRIVING A FORD, YOU HAVE ANOTHER CONNECTOR. THOSE ULTIMATELY WILL START MERGING OKAY. SO WE'LL CONSTANTLY STAY ON TOP OF THE TRAFFIC, UNDERSTAND WHAT VEHICLES ARE CHARGING. WE GET KIND OF WE DON'T GET SPECIFIC DATA TO CONSUMERS, BUT WE GET DATA ABOUT THE VEHICLES OKAY. SO WE CAN TRACK THAT OKAY. AND THEN WE REPORT EVERY MONTH YOU GET A DASHBOARD. YOU'LL SEE EXACTLY HOW MANY CHARGING SESSIONS. YOU KNOW WHAT THE REVENUES ARE. EVERYTHING IS VERY TRANSPARENT IN THE TIMES OF THE DAY. YEAH. YEAH. TYPICALLY 20 TO 25 MINUTES. YOU'RE FULLY CHARGED OKAY OKAY. ALL RIGHT. YOU CAN I'M DONE WITH MY QUESTIONS, BUT SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES MAY HAVE SOME I DO HAVE I DO HAVE ONE LAST QUESTION. SO I KNOW WE INITIALLY TALKED ABOUT STATE PARK BEING AN EV STATION LOCATION. I DIDN'T SEE THAT ON THE LIST. YEAH. THAT WAS EARLY ON IN THE DISCUSSIONS AS A POTENTIAL OPTION. BUT WITH THE PARK ONGOING AND WE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, IN THE FUTURE. BUT RIGHT NOW THESE THESE WERE DECIDED ON TO BE THE BEST THREE OPTIONS FOR RIGHT NOW OKAY. AND. IS WOULD THERE BE AN OPTION AT FREEDOM TREE PARK, THE NEW FREEDOM TREE PARK. YEAH, WE'RE OPEN TO ADDING MORE SITES.THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM. WE WE HAVE TEN POTENTIAL SITES. WE WORK WITH CENTERPOINT. SO A LOT OF IT'S DRIVEN BY HOW MUCH POWER IS AVAILABLE. OKAY. SO THEY'VE GIVEN US THEIR KIND OF ABC LIST OF WHAT'S AVAILABLE. AND WE'LL TRY TO MATCH THAT UP BECAUSE IT COULD TAKE A YEAR PLUS TO GET A SITE GOING. SURE. OKAY. THANK YOU. I'M JUST HAPPY THAT WE ARE THAT WE'RE GETTING MORE STATIONS. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. THAT CONCLUDES MY QUESTION. THANK YOU. RECOGNIZING COUNCIL MEMBER RILEY. THANK YOU. MAYOR, I HAVE JUST A COUPLE OF QUICK QUESTIONS BECAUSE SOME OF THEM YOU ALREADY ANSWERED. WHAT IS THE KILOWATT RATE FOR CHARGING THE NATIONAL AVERAGE IS IS $0.52 TODAY. SO IT'S $0.52. WE'LL SEE. SOME DEPENDS ON THE UTILITY. SO WE'VE WORKED IN CENTERPOINT. THEY DON'T THROTTLE THEIR RATES EVERY DAY.
THEY JUST KIND OF KEEP THEM STEADY. SO WE'LL KEEP THEM MAINTAINED AT A CERTAIN LEVEL.
WE'LL BE COMPETITIVE TO MARKET. WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE THE CHEAPEST BECAUSE WE'RE PROVIDING THE WI-FI, THE AMENITIES, THE LIGHTING AND ALL THE OTHER PIECES WITH IT. SO WE'RE TRYING TO BE A LITTLE BIT ABOVE MARKET, BUT WE'RE VERY FLEXIBLE ON THAT TIME OF DAY.
SOMETIMES AT NIGHT IS CHEAPER TO CHARGE, SO WE MAY ADJUST RATES. SO ARE THE RATES ADJUSTABLE BY DAY OR IS IT WE TYPICALLY WOULD NOT ADJUST BY DAY. THAT'S TWO TO FREQUENT.
PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO PULL UP AND KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO PAY THIS TODAY AND TOMORROW SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT. SO WE TRY TO BE VERY TRANSPARENT ON RATES BECAUSE YOU MENTIONED THE TIME OF THE DAY. SO I DON'T I DON'T KNOW, CALIFORNIA CHANGED 17 TIMES A DAY. SO WE HAVE TO CONSTANTLY DO THAT. BUT HERE WE DON'T HAVE THAT VOLATILITY. NOW REMEMBER THESE CHARGING STATIONS ARE ON ON THE OCP NETWORK. SO IT MEANS EVERY CHARGING STATION IN THE COUNTRY IS ON THE NETWORK. SO IF YOU HAVE AN EV VEHICLE THESE CHARGING STATIONS WILL APPEAR ON THAT NETWORK SAYING THERE'S FOUR STATIONS OR EIGHT STATIONS AVAILABLE AND IT WILL TELL YOU THE RATE. WE PUBLISHED A RATE RIGHT ON THAT. OKAY. AND THEN MY OTHER QUESTION IS THIS IS THIS THAT NORMAL COMPETITIVE RATE? WHAT IS THE AVERAGE NATIONAL AVERAGE IS $0.52 A KILOWATT. OH OKAY. SO YOU GUYS ARE MEETING THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. WE'LL BE RIGHT AROUND 55. WE'LL BE WITHIN WITHIN A COUPLE OF PENNIES OF THAT. AND JASON, ARE THESE NUMBERS THAT YOU PROVIDED AS FAR AS THE REVENUE BASED ON THIS RATE THAT YOU PROVIDED? YEAH, THAT THAT THAT SLIDE CAME FROM, FROM OUR PARTNER. RIGHT. AND THEN MY OTHER QUESTION IS. MAINTENANCE FOR THAT PARTICULAR AREA, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WE OWN THE LAND. IF YOU'RE BUILDING OVER THERE AND PEOPLE ARE PULLING IN, WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE ACTUAL PARKING SPACES THAT WE'LL BE USING, IS THAT STILL US? IS THERE GOING TO BE A COST IF THERE IS SOMETHING DAMAGED OR WHAT? AS FAR AS THE PARKING LOTS AND THE PARKING SPACES, THE CITY ALREADY MAINTAINS THOSE PARKING SPOTS AND PARKING SPACES. AS FAR AS THE EQUIPMENT AND THE CANOPIES. YEAH, WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE CHARGERS, THE SOLAR CANOPIES, THE WI-FI NETWORK, ALL THAT IS ON US. BUT MY QUESTION IS, IF THERE IS DAMAGE TO THE SPACE WHERE THE CHARGING STATIONS ARE THAT WE OWN ON THE CITY, JUST SAY, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A CAR ACCIDENT, OR IF THERE SOMEONE DAMAGES THE THE GROUNDS OR WHATNOT, OR ONE OF YOUR, GOD
[00:50:01]
FORBID, ONE OF YOUR EQUIPMENT, YOU KNOW, FALLS AND MAKES A POTHOLE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WHERE DOES THAT RESPONSIBILITY LIE? OR WHERE DOES THE MAINTENANCE LIE? THE MAINTENANCE FOR THE PARKING LOTS ARE OURS. YES. YEAH. AND WILL REMAIN TO BE OURS. YEAH.FOR EQUIPMENT IS OURS. AND THEN WE'LL CARRY INSURANCE ON ANY LIABILITY. SO THE CITY IS COVERED UNDER INSURANCE AS WELL AS US. AND THEN MY OTHER ONE IS MORE OF A STATEMENT IN REGARDS TO THE CITY HALL LOCATION. YOU KNOW, YOU'VE SHARED VALUABLE INPUT ON WHY THOSE THAT LOCATION IS THE PRIMARY PREFERRED LOCATION. MY CONCERN IS THE MAINTENANCE AND THE INCREASED TRAFFIC AND VEHICLES ON THAT DRIVEWAY AREA. WE ALREADY SEE NOW HOW PEOPLE ARE COMING IN. AT LEAST I DO. DRIVING IN VERY SWIFTLY INTO THAT AREA AND EXITING. I SEE OFTENTIMES PEOPLE THAT ARE STOPPING AT THE STOP SIGN. THEY'RE NOT STOPPING ON BOTH SIDES, AND PEOPLE ARE ALMOST VEHICLES ARE KIND OF COLLIDING. MY CONCERN IS THE INCREASED VEHICLE TRAFFIC IN THAT LITTLE CIRCLE AREA. AND HOW CAN WE ADDRESS THAT TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS, PEOPLE TRYING TO BE IN A HURRY TO GET IN. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU HAVE TO DO WITH JASON AND MAYBE PUBLIC WORKS OR SOMETHING. YEAH, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW THE NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS THAT WE HAVE THERE ON MISSOURI CITY DRIVE. AND SO THAT THAT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN CHOOSING THE SITE HERE AT CITY HALL. AND SO HOW MANY SITES ARE WE? WE TOTALLY ARE TOTAL THAT WE'RE PICKING FOR YOUR THREE THREE. SO TWO IN THE CITY HALL AREA AND ONE ONE IN THE CITY HALL, ONE AT QUAIL VALLEY AND ONE OVER THE TENNIS AND RACKET CENTER. OKAY, SO IT'S THREE ACROSS THE CITY, NOT THREE HERE.
YOU JUST HAVE THREE OPTIONS. OKAY. AND SO YOU'RE WANTING US TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON WHICH LOCATIONS FOR ALL THREE OR FOR THE JUST THE CITY HALL LOCATION. WE'RE ASKING FOR DIRECTION SPECIFICALLY FOR THE CITY HALL, BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONE WHERE THERE'S BEEN THE MOST QUESTIONS.
WE WE ARE. I MEAN, WE'LL TAKE DIRECTION ON THE OTHER TWO LOCATIONS AS WELL, AT THE TENNIS CENTER AND AT THE GOLF COURSE, WE FEEL PRETTY IN UNISON ABOUT THOSE ARE ARE GOOD SITES AND GOOD LOCATIONS FOR THOSE FACILITIES. REALLY WE'RE LOOKING AND UNLESS YOU HAVE ANOTHER OPINION ON THAT, WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FOR INPUT AND DIRECTION ON THE ON THE CITY HALL. IT'S I LIKE THE ONE AT THE RECREATION CENTER BECAUSE WE HAVE LOTS OF SPACE TO PROVIDE SOMETHING LIKE THAT. HAVE YOU GOTTEN ANY FEEDBACK FROM THE GOLFERS OVER THERE REMOVING? IS IT GOING TO BE FOUR SPACES OR EIGHT SPACES AT THE GOLF CLUB? SO IT'S EIGHT.
IT'S EIGHT SPACES TOTAL. THERE'LL BE FOUR CHARGING STATIONS AT FIRST. AND THEN WITH THE POTENTIAL TO EXPAND. SO IT'S EIGHT, EIGHT SPACES, EIGHT COVERED SPACES. HOWEVER IT'S ON, IT'S ON THE EAST SIDE. SO IT'S NOT IT'S NOT ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE ROAD AS AS THE BUILDING IT'S ON. IT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE WHERE THERE'S TYPICALLY A LOT MORE AVAILABLE PARKING THERE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THAT THAT HELPS. BUT YES, THAT WAS ALL MY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.
OKAY. GREAT. THANK YOU ALL. RECOGNIZE THE MAYOR PRO TEM FROM MARSHALL. OH GO AHEAD, COUNCILMEMBER O'DEKIRK. SORRY. THE LACK OF Q IS REALLY CHALLENGING I THINK. SO MY QUESTION FIRST QUESTION IS THE THE SOLAR WE WERE WE DISCUSSED IT AND YOU JUST REFERRED TO THE SOLAR CANOPIES. SO WE'VE HEARD ABOUT THIS IN THE PAST. BUT THE OPTION IF YOU GUYS CAN GO TO THE PICTURE AT THE FRONT FACING TEXAS PARKWAY OR THE THE OVERHEAD PHOTO RIGHT THERE.
YEAH. NOT THIS THE OVERHEAD. YEAH. HERE YOU CAN SEE SHADE RIGHT THERE. ANYBODY TELLS YOU THAT WHEN YOU HAVE SOLAR ON YOUR HOME, IF YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF SHADE IT'S NOT PRACTICAL. SO HOW IS THIS A PRACTICAL OPTION. WELL, AGAIN, WE'RE ONLY GENERATING ABOUT 35KW OF SOLAR.
SO WE LOOKED AT THE SOLAR GAINS AND THE PATH. AND YOU KNOW THERE'S SOME SHADE. BUT IT DOESN'T REALLY DIMINISH THE IMPACT OF IT OKAY. AND WE'RE NOT USING THE SOLAR TO CHARGE THE CARS THAT'S COMING THROUGH THE UTILITY. RIGHT. OKAY. SO THE OTHER QUESTION IS MAINTENANCE OF THE ACTUAL WHAT ARE THESE CALLED LIKE PUMPS. THE THE THEY'RE CALLED SATELLITES IN THIS CASE. BUT THEY'RE DISPENSERS. DISPENSERS OKAY. CHARGING DISPENSERS. SO THE DISPENSERS I'VE PULLED UP, MY HUSBAND HAS HAD A HYBRID PLUG IN FOR YEARS. HE'S JUST CONVERTED TO A A FULL ELECTRIC NOT TOO LONG AGO. AND YOU PULL UP TO THESE THINGS AND
[00:55:02]
WHY ARE YOU MAKING THESE LOOK SHINY? NO. THESE ARE THE NEWEST AND GREATEST. THESE ARE FROM CHEM POWER. THERE ARE OEM, BUT IT'S THE CONTINUAL MAINTENANCE OF THEM. YEAH, I MEAN, THEY'RE THEY'RE PAINTED. THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, WE MAINTAIN THEM, WE CLEAN THEM, WE PUT WRAPS ON THEM. THERE IS A LOGO ON THERE FROM THE CITY. SO WE WOULD MAINTAIN THAT. OKAY. YEAH. WE CLEAN THEM UP. IT WAS THAT SIMPLE. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. RECOGNIZING MAYOR PRO TEM.THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THANK YOU. AND STAFF. I THANK YOU GUYS FOR NOT BLOCKING THE VETERANS MEMORIAL AND FINDING ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE TO HAVE IT PLACED IN TERMS OF MY FIRST QUESTION IS GOING TO BE ABOUT THE BANDS, THE DESIGN BANDS. I WAS TRYING TO FIND THE ONES, SOME OTHERS THAT YOU HAVE INSTALLED IN OTHER PLACES. CAN YOU TALK TO US ABOUT YOUR BANDING THAT YOU'VE PLACED OVER IN SUGARLAND AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE? BECAUSE I'M NOT RECALLING IT. YEAH, I MEAN, THEY'RE STRUGGLING RIGHT NOW. YOU DON'T SEE THE GRAPHICS ON BECAUSE IT'S IN FINAL REVIEW BY CITY SUGARLAND. SO WE GO IN AND JUST WE CREATE A WHITE FACADE AROUND IT. AND THEN 24IN HIGH. AND THEN THE GRAPHICS TYPICALLY WILL SAY EV CHARGING. SO PEOPLE KNOW IT'S A CHARGING STATION. AND THEN WE ADD WHETHER IT'S A SUPER FAST STATION OR IF YOU WANT TO ADD YOUR LOGO. BUT WE'RE OPEN TO THAT. WE'RE OPEN TO COLORING IT TOO. IT COULD BE, YOU KNOW, THE SAME COLORS AS EVERYTHING ELSE THAT YOU USE IN THE CITY. SO WE'RE OPEN TO CUSTOMIZING THAT AS WELL. THAT'S THAT'S REALLY GOOD TO HEAR. JASON, IN PARTICULAR, IF YOU COULD TURN TO SLIDE. A SLIDE NUMBER. WELL, IT'S NOT THIS ONE, BUT IT'S THE ONE WHERE YOU CAN SEE OUR WATER TOWER IN THE BACK. I'LL GO BACK. SO IT'S A COUPLE OVER RIGHT THERE. AND SO I'LL STAY HERE ON THIS SLIDE REAL QUICK. AND I'LL ASK CITY MANAGER FIRST WITH REGARDS TO IF THE SELECTION SITE WAS TO BE HERE ON ON THE SIDE OF THE LIBRARY, WOULD WE HAVE TO ENTER INTO SOME TYPE OF AGREEMENT TO PLACE THIS OVER HERE ON THE LIBRARY'S PORTION OF THE. WE WOULD NEED TO COORDINATE THAT WITH THE WITH THE COUNTY BECAUSE THE CITY PROPERTY, BUT BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS USING THAT WE WOULD WE WOULD NEED TO COORDINATE THAT. BUT WE'VE HAD SOME TENTATIVE CONVERSATIONS AND DON'T FEEL LIKE THAT'S GOING TO BE A PROBLEM. OKAY, OKAY. THAT'S FANTASTIC. AND THOSE STAYING ON THIS SLIDE, THE REASON WHY I WAS ASKING ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT THE BAND AROUND THE TOP IS THAT IT COORDINATES WITH OUR CURRENT CITY LOOK AND FEEL, IF YOU WILL. IF I'M LOOKING AT THIS NOW, THIS IS JUST BUSY. YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT STARS, WE'VE GOT GREEN AND SEE OUR WATER TOWER IN THE BACK. AND THE ONE THING THAT A SISTER CITY OF OURS HAS DONE VERY WELL WITH THE DESIGN OF THEIR CITY IS THEY REMAIN CONSISTENT, YOU KNOW, THROUGHOUT. AND SO YOU DON'T SEE A LOT OF HODGEPODGE. RIGHT? NOT THAT THIS IS BECAUSE I'M VERY THANKFUL THAT THIS IS COMING INTO THE CITY, BUT I WOULD JUST CAUTION THAT WE AS A, YOU KNOW, AS A TEAM, THAT WE BE PARTICULAR ABOUT THAT. AND THEN MY LAST COMMENT. IT'S MORE IT'S MORE FOR THE STAFF. WILL WE BE EVENTUALLY TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT ALL LOCATIONS TO HAVE THESE PLACED ON, OR IS THIS JUST SOLELY FOR HERE, RIGHT NOW? I THINK, AS WAS SAID BY THE OWNER, THAT THEY'RE OPEN TO PLACING THEM IN OTHER PLACES. AND YES, AND AS LONG AS IT'S COST BENEFICIAL FOR THE CITY, WE WOULD DEFINITELY BE PROPOSING MORE. PROPOSING MORE, COST BENEFICIAL. AND IN TERMS OF IT BEING AN ECONOMIC DRIVER, YES. I DON'T SEE HOW INSIDE OF ANYTHING THAT YOU GUYS HAVE PRESENTED IN TERMS OF DOLLARS REVENUE THAT THE CITY WOULD BE RECEIVING US. DO WE HAVE THAT? YEAH. SO THERE'S THAT SECOND SLIDE WAS BASICALLY JUST AN ESTIMATE OVER TEN YEARS. YEAH.
SO THERE'S A BASE LICENSING FEE OF A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS A MONTH. AND THEN THERE'S A COST SHARE. AND SO AS, AS THE NUMBER OF EVS GROW AND AS THE, AS THE, YOU KNOW, THE NEED FOR THE RAPID CHARGERS GROWS, THEN SO WILL OUR REVENUE, RIGHT? OKAY. OKAY. I DO SEE THIS HERE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. RECOGNIZING COUNCIL MEMBER BONNIE. THANK YOU MAYOR. SO KEEP IT THERE ON THIS SITE. LICENSE PAID AT YEAR FIVE. THAT IS THE LAST YEAR WE HAVE THIS COST SHARING. IS THAT WHAT THIS IS OR. I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE IS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT INCREASE. IT'S A WELL IT'S A BIG INCREASE IN REVENUE TO THE CITY BECAUSE IT'S DRIVEN BY UTILIZATION. SO WE MODEL EVERYTHING BASED ON WE START AT ABOUT 8% UTILIZATION, MEANING 8% OF THE TIME OF TOTAL AVAILABLE CHARGING SESSIONS IS GOING TO BE USED. AND THEN WE
[01:00:02]
INCREASE THAT YEAR OVER YEAR OVER YEAR. SO ULTIMATELY WE END UP AT ABOUT 40% UTILIZATION IN MOST DEPLOYMENTS. AND THAT'S WHERE YOU SEE THIS HOCKEY STICK OF GROWTH. SO YOU GET A FIXED RATE MINIMUM OF 215 PER CONTRACT. IT'S $215 PER SPACE PER MONTH THAT'S UTILIZED. AND THEN WE INCREASE THAT NUMBER AND START PUTTING MORE CHARGING STATIONS IN PLACE. THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THE BIG UPTURN. SO IS IT POSSIBLE THAT BY YEAR FOUR THAT NUMBER COULD. YES. HI. YES.SO THIS IS JUST THIS IS JUST A MODEL WE'VE USED. AND WE BASICALLY I'D RATHER BE VERY CONSERVATIVE. RIGHT. AND SHOW YOU A, YOU KNOW, A LONGER TAIL. SO BASED OFF OF BASED OFF OF YOUR DOING THIS FOR A WHILE AT YEAR SIX, THAT'S WHEN CITIES REALLY TAKE OFF. REALLY TAKE OFF. ALL RIGHT. AND THEN THE OTHER QUESTION THAT I HAVE IS BASED OFF OF THE NUMBER OF STATIONS BEING PROPOSED, WAS THAT BASED OFF OF DATA ANALYSIS, OUR TRAFFIC COUNT I MEAN, I'M JUST YEAH, WE USE THAT NUMBER. SO WE USE THE ESRI SYSTEM THAT BASICALLY TRAFFICS ANYBODY THAT'S DOING TRAFFIC COUNTS. ESRI IS THE IS THE NATIONAL COMPANY THAT DOES THAT. SO WE PULL THEIR NUMBERS IN. WE PULL IN THE NUMBER OF REGISTERED EV VEHICLES. AND EVERY MARKET WE LOOK AT THE TRAFFIC COUNTS COMING OFF OF THE MAJOR ROADS AND HOW MANY EVS GO THROUGH THAT INTERSECTION. AND THAT'S KIND OF WHAT DRIVES OUR MODEL. SO WE MAY ADJUST FROM 4 TO 8 BY THE SECOND YEAR. OKAY. RIGHT NOW WE'RE KIND OF KEEPING IT AT FOUR FOR THE FIRST COUPLE YEARS.
AND THEN WE'LL START INCREASING TO SIX AND THEN EIGHT STATIONS. AND IN SOME CASES LIKE CONVENIENCE STORES, WE'RE SEEING IT GO RIGHT UP TO EIGHT BY THE SECOND YEAR. SO IT REALLY DEPENDS ON TRAFFIC COUNTS. YOU KNOW TEXAS IS MOVING PRETTY QUICKLY IN THE EV SECTOR. SO YOU ARE SEEING A LOT OF AS YOU SAID, COUNCILWOMAN, YOU'RE SEEING, YOU KNOW, EVS COMING IN TO EVERY HOUSEHOLD. PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO USE THEM MORE AROUND THE CITIES. SO THIS IS A REALLY CONVENIENT WAY FOR THEM TO CHARGE. NOW, THE OTHER PART OF THE EQUATION THAT WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT IS THAT WE WILL, AS THE CITY ELECTRIFIES, A LOT OF OUR CITIES ARE STARTING TO PUT ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN PLACE. SO THEIR FLEETS ARE BEING CONVERTED, THEIR LEASING FLEETS, THEY'RE LEASING ELECTRIC VEHICLES WITH THEIR FLEETS. SO THESE CHARGING STATIONS CAN ALSO BE USED BY THE CITY AS A DISCOUNT CODE OR CITY CODE. SO YOU DON'T NECESSARILY NEED TO PAY FOR IT. IT COULD BE ALL EMBEDDED INTO THE OVERALL OPERATION. SO IT GIVES YOU THAT ABILITY, ESPECIALLY AT CITY HALL. IF YOU START ELECTRIFYING SOME OF YOUR SERVICE VEHICLES, YOUR TRUCKS, THE OPPORTUNITY. AND WE CAN THEN EXPAND FURTHER AND ADD MORE STATIONS THAT ARE, WE CALL THEM BEHIND THE FENCE FLEET, CHARGING STATIONS, THINGS YOU CAN USE FOR THE CITY. SO WE'RE WILLING TO GROW WITH YOU AS AS IT EVOLVES. AND I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE A PRETTY FAST MARKET IN TEXAS. WELL, THANK YOU FOR THAT. THAT'S VERY HELPFUL BECAUSE WE DEFINITELY POSSIBLY HAVE THE ABILITY TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF STATIONS.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO ASK WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PROPOSING PUTTING THESE, WHETHER IT BE QUAIL VALLEY, THE THE PARKS AND REC AND THEN CITY HALL, WHICH I CONCUR WITH OPTION A AS WELL. DO WE HAVE SPACE TO EXPAND RIGHT THERE WITHOUT HAVING TO CONSIDER ANOTHER LOCATION AT CITY HALL OR ANOTHER LOCATION AT QUAIL VALLEY OR ANOTHER? YEAH, AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE MODEL IS THAT WE WILL HAVE CANOPIES TO CUT FOR FOR EIGHT EIGHT SPOTS.
WE'LL START WITH FOUR STATIONS AT EACH SPOT, AND SO THEY CAN COME AT ANY TIME AS SOON AS THE DEMAND REQUIRES IT. AND THEY CAN ADD ANOTHER ONE, TWO, 3 OR 4 AT EACH OF THESE LOCATIONS.
SO IT MAKES IT EASY TO GROW. AND LAST THING IS WHEN ARE WE WHEN DO WE MAKE THAT DECISION TO EXPAND BY ONE, TWO, 3 OR 4 MORE? WELL IT'LL BE DRIVEN BY UTILIZATION. SO WE'LL LET YOU KNOW VERY QUICKLY BECAUSE WE'RE INVESTING ABOUT AN AVERAGE OF 300,000 TO 350,000 PER CONNECTOR. SO THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT. SO MULTIPLY THAT BY FOUR OR BY EIGHT. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE INVESTING INTO THE SITE. GOTCHA. SO YEAH WE'LL MOVE QUICKER AS AS MARKET DEMANDS IT FOR SURE. THANK YOU I CONCUR WITH OPTION A. WE'RE NOT TAKING A VOTE ON IT RIGHT. JUST GIVING SUGGESTIONS. CORRECT. NO. YEAH OKAY OKAY. AWESOME. WELL HEY MY I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY. FLOYD. YEAH. COUNCILMEMBER EMERY, THE QUESTION I HAVE IS DEMAND. HOW ARE WE DETERMINING THE DEMAND FOR CHARGING STATIONS? QUESTION TO CITY MANAGER. HOW MANY UNITS DO WE HAVE IN OUR FLEET, WHETHER IT BE CARS, TRUCKS, WHATEVER THAT ARE EV. TYPES OF UNITS. AS FAR AS I KNOW. ZERO. OKAY. NOW, HOW DID YOU GET COME UP WITH THE VOLUMES THAT YOU
[01:05:07]
SAY THAT THEY'D BE USING? AS THE BASIS FOR PUTTING THESE CHARGING STATIONS IN THE VARIOUS LOCATIONS? SO WE LOOK AT THE TRAFFIC COUNTS THAT ARE PUBLISHED EVERY DAY. THEY KEEP TRACK OF IT. WE KNOW HOW MANY EVS TRAFFIC ACROSS THOSE ROADS. SO 33,000 VEHICLES GO DOWN TEXAS PARKWAY EVERY DAY. SO WE USE THAT AND WE GET A PERCENTAGE AND WE SAY, OKAY, OF THIS 6% TODAY IN TEXAS ARE EVS. SO YOU'RE SAYING 6% OF THE TRAFFIC THAT GOES DOWN TEXAS PARKWAY, OUR EVS, OUR EV UNITS? YES. AND BASED ON THAT, CORRECT. OKAY. I MY ONLY NOT THE ONLY CONCERN. MY CONCERN IS ONE OF THOSE THAT BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME. WELL, UNLESS WE'VE GOT GOOD SOLID DATA. AND AS LONG AS THE TREND NATIONWIDE IS THAT WE'RE MOVING TOWARDS EV.AND, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE, THE PROJECTIONS ARE, BUT I, I'M, I'M TO THE POINT WHERE LET'S MAKE SURE THAT WE KNOW THAT WE'VE GOT SOLID INFORMATION, WHAT THE DEMAND IS GOING TO BE BEFORE WE START ALLOCATING SPACE AND DOLLARS TO THIS TYPE OF A, OF AN OPERATION. I KNOW IT HAS A POTENTIAL FOR SOME ADDITIONAL REVENUE, AND WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL REVENUE. BUT LET'S MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE SAY THAT WE'RE GOING TO PUT THESE THESE VARIOUS LOCATIONS, WE'VE GOT A GOOD IDEA AND A GOOD FEELING THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE VOLUME THERE TO MAKE THESE EFFICIENT AND TO MAKE IT EFFECTIVE FOR US TO TO RECEIVE ANY, ANY FUNDS. SO. YOU KNOW WHAT? WHAT'S YOUR TAKE AS FAR AS WHAT DO YOU SEE FROM A NATIONAL LEVEL AS FAR AS THE THE VARIOUS FLEETS GOING TO, TO EV AS OPPOSED TO STAYING WITH, WITH CASH? WELL, I THINK FLEETS ARE MOVING IN THAT DIRECTION RAPIDLY, WHETHER IT'S UPS, AMAZON DELIVERY TRUCKS, THE LAST MILE TRUCKS, THEY ARE ALL UNDER A PROGRAM TO GO ELECTRIC BY THE NEXT 2 TO 3 YEARS. SO AMAZON 100% OF THEIR OWN FLEET IS ELECTRIC. THEY'RE THIRD PARTY LOCAL CONTRACTORS THAT THEY HIRE TO DELIVER THAT LAST MILE. THEY WILL BE MANDATED TO BE ELECTRIC WITHIN THE NEXT THREE YEARS. SO THEY'RE DRIVING ALL THAT TRANSACTION AND IN THE AMOUNT OF CHARGING SESSIONS VERY QUICKLY. SO WE LOOK AT THAT AS A BIG BASELINE. WE NEVER COUNTED ON FEDERAL FUNDS TO, YOU KNOW, TO THE BACKSTOP.
OUR INVESTMENTS, OUR INVESTMENTS ARE DONE BASED ON THE FACT THAT WE'RE BUSINESS PEOPLE. WE LOOK AT A MARKETPLACE, WE LOOK AT THE OPPORTUNITY THAT EXISTS FOR CHARGING. WE WORK TO GET A LICENSE AGREEMENT IN PLACE, WHICH IS WHAT WE'VE SIGNED WITH THE CITY. WE PICKED THE BEST SPOTS AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO LOOK AT THOSE SPOTS, AND THEN WE WILL PUT THE CHARGERS IN. SO FROM A CAPITAL SIDE, YOU'RE NOT WRITING ANY CHECKS TO PUT INTO THIS. WE ARE. SO WE'RE GOING TO BE VERY PRUDENT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THE RETURN ON THAT INVESTMENT. SO THAT'S WHY WE PUT IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR EIGHT CHARGING STATIONS IN THE GROUND. YOU'LL SEE THAT IN YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME TO SUGARLAND TO THE AIRPORT.
YOU'LL SEE THE STRUCTURE THERE. CONCRETE PADS. THERE ARE SPOTS FOR FUTURE CHARGING STATIONS.
AND THEN WE DEPLOY 2 OR 4. AND THEN WE CONTINUE TO ADD SO WE DON'T GO BACK AND TEAR UP THE LOT AGAIN. WE DO IT ONE TIME, PUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO CANOPY THE ELECTRICAL INFRASTRUCTURE CAPACITY. WE DO THAT WITH CENTERPOINT AND THEN WE START DEPLOYING THE CHARGING STATIONS. SUGARLAND'S EXPERIENCE, THEY'RE JUST WE'RE JUST FINISHING IT. IT'S NOT UP AND RUNNING YET. IT'LL BE RUNNING AT THE END OF THIS MONTH. YEAH OKAY. YEAH. SO YEAH.
PLEASE. WE'LL, WE'LL WE'LL INVITE YOU TO THE GRAND OPENING OVER THERE. I DON'T WANT TO BE A NAYSAYER, BUT, YOU KNOW, LET'S MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE WHEN WE PUT THINGS IN, WE KNOW THAT THE DEMAND IS THERE AND THAT THE TREND IS, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE MOVING TOWARDS THE EV. AND WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE EVS, AND THAT'S GREAT. SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, SETTING UP STATIONS THAT ARE GOING TO BE. THE THE SOURCE OF, OF OF POWER FOR THE EV. VEHICLE. SO I JUST THAT'S MY ONLY CAUTION. AND I SAY CAUTION IS THAT, YOU KNOW, LET'S LET'S MAKE SURE THAT BEFORE WE START PUTTING IN INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE KNOW THAT THE DEMAND IS THERE AND THE DEMAND IS SOLID, AND THAT EVENTUALLY, IF I'M NOT SURE WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE, BUT IF WE CAN LEAN ON SOME OF THE EXPERIENCE THAT SUGARLAND
[01:10:05]
WILL START EXPERIENCING TO HELP US SAY THAT, HEY, THERE IS A DEMAND THERE, YOU KNOW, AT THE CITY LEVEL, OR OF COURSE, THEY'RE PROBABLY PUTTING THEIRS AT THE AIRPORT, AND I'M NOT SURE WHERE ELSE IN THE PARK. YEAH. IMPERIAL PARK. YEAH. OKAY. ANYWAY, THAT'S MY SENSE. AND THAT'S THE BENEFIT OF DOING A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS. IT'S A PERFECT MODEL TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S IT'S A WIN WIN. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.RECOGNIZING COUNCILMEMBER O'DEKIRK. AND SO THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENTS. SO RIGHT NOW WHEN WE SEE THE IMAGE OF THE FOUR WE'RE REALLY APPROVING EIGHT. IS THAT RIGHT. BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO PUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE THERE. WE'RE GOING TO SEE EIGHT PARKING SPOTS THERE. SO YOU HAVE FOUR CHARGERS. EACH CHARGER DOES TWO SPOTS OKAY. SO YOU'RE GOING TO START WITH TWO OF THESE. START WITH TWO. SO IT'LL BE FOUR. AND THEN THE OTHER TWO THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
SO AS COUNCIL COUNCIL MEMBER EMERY POINTED OUT I'LL TELL YOU MY EXPERIENCE. I HAD TO GO AND HUNT DOWN. HE'S TALKING ABOUT THESE THESE APPS AND IN THE CAR. THESE NEW TECHNOLOGY TELLS YOU WHERE THESE ELECTRONIC STATIONS ARE. IT WILL TELL YOU THAT THEY'VE GOT SOMEBODY PARKED THERE AND THAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE THEM AN HOUR TO GET OUT OF YOUR WAY. IT TELLS YOU THE PRICES AND ALL THIS STUFF. SO THE TECHNOLOGY IS AMAZING BEHIND THESE. IT'S REALLY INTERACTIVE. SO I DON'T HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, GUESS THAT THE THE GAS PRICES X NUMBER OF CENTS PER UNIT OR WHATEVER. BUT I HAD TO HUNT DOWN AND I HAD TO WAIT FOR A STALL OR A SPOT TO CHARGE MY HUSBAND'S VEHICLE WHEN HE FIRST GOT IT, BEFORE HE HAD THE ELECTRICIAN OUT TO PUT IN THE CHARGER AT HOME. AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET THESE SPACES RIGHT NOW. YOU CAN'T FIND ONE IN MISSOURI CITY. WE ARE BEHIND THE TIMES. WE ARE BEHIND EVERYBODY ELSE AS FAR AS THIS GOES. THEY HAVE A BEAUTIFUL NEW SHELL EV POWER STATION PER SE ON HIGHWAY SIX, AND WE DO NOT HAVE THESE THINGS. SO WE DO HAVE RESIDENTS COMPLAINING THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES HERE. AND AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, WE'RE LATE TO THE GAME AND WE NEED THESE TYPES OF THINGS. SO YEAH, WE THIS IS ABSOLUTELY I APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS SPENDING YOUR MONEY AND US NOT HAVING TO TO PUT THESE THINGS IN. AND THEN WE JUST BENEFIT FROM IT. THANK YOU. WELL I JUST HAVE A QUICK COMMENT, JASON. FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS UP. WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT WHAT WE DON'T HAVE ON TEXAS PARKWAY.
I'M GLAD THAT WE HAVE. YOU BROUGHT THIS UP ON TEXAS PARKWAY BECAUSE AT LEAST WE'RE GETTING SOMETHING FOR SOMETHING OF THIS MAGNITUDE BEFORE AND IS BEING INSTALLED ANYWHERE ELSE.
AND NOT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE DON'T HAVE PEOPLE THAT CAN CLOSELY FIND THAT THAT HAVE EV CARS. IT'S THAT'S THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE GOING INTO. SO I APPRECIATE THAT. AND I WOULD HOPE NOT JUST THAT CITY HALL, YOU WOULD HAVE IT AT DIFFERENT PUBLIC SPACES. THESE ARE CONSIDERED TO BE PUBLIC SPACES, WHICH IS GATHERING OF PEOPLE. WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT USE OUR COMMUNITY CENTER, PEOPLE USE THE LIBRARY, PEOPLE USE THE CITY HALL. PEOPLE COME IN FOR PERMITTING, PLANNING AND ALL OF THESE THINGS OUT HERE. SO I WOULD I'M EXCITED THAT YOU BROUGHT THIS UP AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS MOVING FORWARD. THAT'S MY MY RECOMMENDATION AND OPINION. SO YES. COUNCILMEMBER. YES, I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THAT FOR THE THREE. CAN YOU PUT THE LOCATIONS BACK UP? ONE MORE SLIDE. THE NEXT ONE. THERE YOU GO. SO THREE LOCATIONS AT CITY HALL. SO I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO RECOMMEND PLACEMENT ON THE IN FRONT OF. AT THE LIBRARY. AND THEN THE ADDITIONAL TWO LOCATIONS, ONE AT THE REC AND TENNIS CENTER AND QUAIL VALLEY GOLF COURSE. THAT'S MY MOTION. OKAY. MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND Y'ALL CAN I MEAN, I KNOW OUR Q IS NOT WORKING. IF YOU HAVE A SECOND, JUST SAY SO. THE LIBRARY OPTION.
RIGHT? I SAID THE LIBRARY OPTION. YES. OKAY. SO THERE'S BEEN A MOTION AND A SECOND MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER CLOUSER, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER O'DEKIRK. YES. DISCUSSION. YEAH.
SO I AM IN FAVOR OF THIS. ABSOLUTELY I AM I JUST LIKE THE FRONT OF CITY HALL BETTER. BUT
[01:15:04]
SO WHEN I VOTE NO, IT'S NOT THAT I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF IT. I'M JUST NOT IN FAVOR OF THE LOCATION. FAIR ENOUGH. OKAY, SO WHAT WERE THE LOCATIONS AGAIN? SHE'S GOING WITH C. Q OR NOT, WE DON'T HAVE A Q. IT'S NOT WORKING. THAT'S THE PROBLEM. SO YOU ALL RIGHT? COUNCILMEMBER RILEY, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? YES. I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF THE MISSOURI CITY LIBRARY LOCATION, PRIMARILY BECAUSE IT PUTS A LOT OF TRAFFIC. I MEAN, IT'S PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERNS. WE HAVE A LOT OF CHILDREN, A LOT OF WALKING THAT GOES ON BACK THERE IN THAT PARTICULAR AREA. THAT PARKING LOT IS ALREADY FULL WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO THE LIBRARY. AND OF COURSE, IT'S OVERFLOW FOR OUR COMMUNITY CENTER AREA. SO WHEN I KNOW IT'S NOT THAT I'M VOTING NO, I'M VOTING NO FOR THE LOCATION. I REALLY WOULD PREFER IF WE COULD GO INDIVIDUALLY FOR THAT PARTICULAR LOCATION JUST BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THERE MAY BE PEOPLE THAT HAVE DIFFERENT RECOMMENDATIONS. I WOULD PREFER TO SEE THIS AFTER MY CONCERNS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED, TO PUT THIS AT THE FRONT SO THAT WE CAN HAVE BETTER ACCESS TO THE REVENUE. AND IT'S WELL LIT UP THERE AS WELL. AND IT'S NOT AN AREA THAT'S BEEN, YOU KNOW, HEAVILY UTILIZED. AND THEN OF COURSE, IT BECOMES AN ATTRACTION FOR OUR CITY HALL AMENITIES. AND SO, I DON'T KNOW, CAN I MAKE AN AMENDMENT MOTION? I'M AMENABLE TO CHANGING MY MOTION. WHAT IS IT TO THE THE FRONT OF CITY HALL? I THOUGHT WE JUST DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE THE PARKING, THE PARKING SPACES THAT WE HAVE IN FRONT OF CITY HALL. SO THAT WAS THAT WAS WHAT ANGEL SAID THAT THE STAFF HAD, YOU KNOW, RESPONDED THAT, YOU KNOW, IT WASN'T GOING TO BE AN ISSUE. AND IF YOU'RE EVER OVER IN THIS AREA, I'M OVER HERE ALL THE TIME BECAUSE I DRIVE BACK AND FORTH. THOSE SPACES ARE ALWAYS EMPTY THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME, UNLESS THERE IS A MEETING OF SOME SORT OR SOME BUSINESS THAT'S BEING CONDUCTED BEFORE STAFF. MOST OF THE STAFF ARE AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER, OR THEY PARK ON THE FRONT SIDE OF IT. SO WHERE IT HAS ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE CITY HALL, THOSE PARKING SPACES HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED. THOSE ARE PREDOMINANTLY EMPTY. WELL, UNTIL ELECTION TIMES AND OVERFLOW AND THINGS LIKE THAT. WELL, I'M AMENABLE TO, TO TO TO CHANGE MY MOTION. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. YOU KNOW, I'M JUST HAPPY THAT WE'LL GET ONE AT, AT CITY HALL AND THIS IS, THAT'S THAT'S FINE WITH ME. WHAT IS THE NEW MOTION? SO NOT THE VETERANS MEMORIAL, BUT THE THE OTHER OPTION. THE C OPTION. YES. THAT WOULD BE OPTION A OPTION FRONT OF CITY HALL A OKAY I'M LOOKING OVER HERE. YES. WHERE THE X IS. YEAH. IN FRONT OF CITY HALL. YES. I'LL SECOND HER MOTION. SO THERE'S BEEN A MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER A SECONDED BY MAYOR PRO TEM BROWN. ANY OTHER DISCUSSIONS? YEAH. YEAH, YEAH. BECAUSE THERE WAS AN INITIAL MOTION I'M SORRY, BECAUSE THERE WAS AN INITIAL MOTION AND SECOND MADE AND SHE'S MAKING AN AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION WITH THE PERSON THAT SECONDED THE MOTION INITIALLY.NEED TO AGREE TO THAT OR WITHDRAW THEIR MOTION. I BELIEVE THE MAKER OF THE MOTION WITHDREW HER MOTION. SHE WITHDREW. SHE WITHDREW. THEN SHE MADE A MOTION. THEN YOU ACTUALLY HAVE A NEW SECOND. OKAY. I THOUGHT SHE WAS JUST. I AMENDED MY MOTION. I AMENDED MY MOTION. OH, I THOUGHT YOU WITHDREW YOUR MOTION. NO. OKAY. SO THEN. OKAY, SO THEN IF IT'S AMENDED, THEN THE ORIGINAL SECOND WOULD HAVE TO SECOND IT. UNLESS SHE DOESN'T. MY MOTION.
I DEFER TO US. OKAY. JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE. ALL RIGHT. SO WHO? SO COUNCILMEMBER CLOUSER HAS A MOTION. SURE. SO THE MOTION WAS MADE BY MEMBER CLOUSER, AND THEN IT WOULD BE SECONDED BY MEMBER O'DEKIRK, RIGHT? NO, SHE NO. SHE WITHDREW. SHE WITHDREW. OKAY. I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T HEAR THE WITHDREW. OKAY, OKAY. OVER THERE. THERE'S A LOT OF NO I KNOW. OKAY. SO MAYOR PRO TEM. YES. OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. SO SEEING NO DISCUSSION. GO AHEAD. ROLL CALL.
