TEE IT UP? YEAH.

HMM.

NO, NO VIDEO.

NO VIDEO.

HEY, COME BACK.

HEY, YOU WANNA SAY SOMETHING FIRST? SO, UH, THANK Y'ALL.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU'ALL.

EXTREMELY PROUD MOMENT.

AND, UH, I KNOW THAT THE VIDEO WAS MOVING QUICKLY, BUT AS YOU SAW, IT WAS, UM, AN ARTISTIC KID, YOUNG KID, UM, THAT WENT INTO THE WATER AND, UH, QUICKLY EMERGED AND, UM, SUBMERGED.

AND THEN, UM, OUR OFFICERS WENT IN WITHOUT HESITATION TO SAY THAT KID'S LIFE.

BUT I WANT TO TAKE A FEW MO MOMENTS.

UM, WE HAVE, UH, THE OFFICERS HERE, OFFICER TREVINO, OFFICER GUERRERA, AND OFFICER SCHULER, UM, AND FAMILY MEMBERS ARE HERE, BUT I WANT TO ADD SOME CONTENTS TO IT.

UM, MS. PETROVIC, WHO IS HERE AS A CITIZEN OF ALL GREAT CITY, UM, SPOTTED THAT KID AND KNEW SOMETHING ABOUT AN AUTISTIC KID, TRIED TO MAKE CONTACT WITH HIM.

THE KID RAN OFF.

SHE STAYED WITH OUR DISPATCH FOR AT LEAST FIVE MINUTES, TELLING US THE LOCATION.

SHE SAW THE KID GO IN TOWARDS THE WATER AND GO IN.

SO IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR HER AND HER PERSISTENCE AND, AND BEING A LOVING CITIZEN.

AND I'M SO VERY PROUD OF YOU AND YOUR ACTIONS.

UH, WE WOULD'VE BEEN RECOVERING A KID'S BODY AND, UH, GOD WAS WITH US.

I KNOW THAT MAYOR AND, AND EVERYONE.

BUT I AM SO PROUD BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE HEAR NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT OUR GREAT POLICE OFFICERS.

AND I WANT TO SAY MY ENTIRE EXECUTIVE TEAM IS HERE, PLUS A LOT OF OFFICERS, UM, LIEUTENANTS AND, UH, SERGEANTS.

AND I THANK YOU.

WELL, FAMILY.

AND I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING REAL QUICKLY.

UH, CHIEF COX GOT OFFICIALLY PINNED.

UH, TODAY WE'LL DO A, A OFFICIAL CEREMONY.

BUT THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

AND CONGRATULATIONS, CHIEF, BUT I WANT TO PRESENT SOME AWARDS AFTER THE MAYOR SAYS

[00:05:01]

SO, UH, FIRST OF ALL, I'M GOING TO ASK MAYOR PROIN TO COME DOWN HERE BECAUSE, UM, HOW I FIRST KNEW ABOUT THIS WAS SHE HAD SENT ME AN EMAIL OR A, A SCREENSHOT OF A, A FACEBOOK POST, UH, ALLOWING ME TO KNOW THAT THIS, UH, TOOK PLACE.

AND WE AS A COMMUNITY, WE'VE GOTTEN, UH, CREDENTIALS TO BE AUTISM AND CERTIFIED AUTISM, AND THE PERSON THAT COULD SPEAK BEST TO, SINCE I'VE BEEN ON COUNCIL WITH, UH, MAYOR PROAM, UH, SINCE 2020.

IT IS MAYOR PROAM.

SO I'M GONNA HAND IT OVER TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT SHE'S VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT.

YES.

WELL, I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS GONNA BE PUT ON THE SPOT, BUT I'M, I AM CERTAINLY HAPPY TO BE HERE.

UM, I AM THE MOTHER OF A SON WITH AUTISM.

WHEN I JOINED COUNCIL, I THINK ALL OF US BRING A LOT OF WONDERFUL THINGS TO THE TABLE.

BUT YOU GOTTA HAVE A DIVERSE COUNCIL.

WE HAVE A VETERAN.

WE HAVE SO MUCH TALENT.

BUT I LENDED THE PARENT BEING A PARENT OF A CHILD WITH AUTISM.

SO CHAMPIONS CHAMPIONING PROGRAMS. WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS A CERTIFIED AUTISM AGENCY, THAT MADE ME PROUD.

'CAUSE I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT US PARENTS, WHAT WE GO THROUGH, AND THAT THIS COMMUNITY IS GROWING.

AND SO TO HAVE OUR OFFICERS AS A CERTIFIED AUTISM CENTER, THAT'S WHAT WE WANT.

WE WANT PEOPLE THAT RECOGNIZE THAT OUR CHILDREN, THEY ARE DIFFERENT.

THEY ARE NOT LESS, THEY ARE DIFFERENT, BUT TO APPRECIATE THEM AUTISM, DROWNING IS THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF DEATH AMONGST OUR CHILDREN.

AND PEOPLE WITH AUTISM, ACCIDENTS IN GENERAL, BUT DROWNING.

THEY ARE DRAWN TO WATER.

WHY? WE DON'T KNOW, BUT THEY ARE DRAWN TO WATER.

THE TRAINING THAT OUR OFFICERS RECEIVE, IT'S UNMATCHED.

NOT EVERY AGENCY GOES THROUGH THE TRAINING THAT OUR OFFICERS GO THROUGH.

AND SO, AS A PARENT CHIEF INTO WHO, WHO, WHO WAS IT THAT JUMPED IN THE WATER? WHO WAS THAT, THAT JUMPED IN THE WATER? IT WAS A WHOLE TEAM EFFORT.

I WANNA SAY, WHEN I SAW THAT, I SAY THANK YOU BECAUSE NOT TOO LONG AGO, THERE WAS ANOTHER SITUATION IN MISSOURI CITY THAT DIDN'T END THIS POSITIVELY TO YOU.

, WHAT'S YOUR NAME? MS. UH, PETRE.

MS. PETRE, I'M GONNA CALL YOUR NAME MS. PETRE.

WE NEED MORE MS. PETRE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

WHEN WE SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING, DO SOMETHING.

AND SO, I JUST WANT TO SAY, AS A PARENT OF AN AUTISTIC CHILD, I JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU.

THIS WON'T BE THE FIRST TIME THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS, BUT I HOPE THAT EACH ONE OF US WILL RE BE IN TUNE TO OUR COMMUNITY, JUST LIKE YOU ARE IN TUNE TO THE COMMUNITY.

AND I JUST HOPE, AND I COMMEND OUR POLICE OFFICERS FOR GOING THE EXTRA MILE TO DO WHAT I KNOW EACH ONE OF US IN THIS ROOM WOULD DO.

SO AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL, AND I'M SO PROUD TO REPRESENT THIS CITY EACH AND EVERY DAY, BUT ON THAT DAY, THAT DAY, I WAS SO PROUD TO SAY THAT I REPRESENT MISSOURI CITY.

THANK YOU.

YES.

ALRIGHT, SO IF YOU DON'T MIND, WE'RE JUST GONNA PRESENT THE AWARDS AND IT'S A LIFESAVING AWARDS FOR EACH OFFICER.

UH, NO, IT'S JUST MISS, UH, PUBLIC SERVICE AWARD.

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AMENDING THE ZONING DISTRICT MAP OF THE CITY OF MISSOURI CITY, PROVIDING AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, PROVIDING FOR REPEAL, PROVIDING A PENALTY, PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, AND CONTAINING OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE SUBJECT.

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION THIS EVENING IS A PLAN DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR A PROPOSED EIGHT AND A HALF ACRE DETENTION POND

[00:20:01]

UM, THIS IS CURRENTLY CLASSIFIED AS SD SUBURBAN DISTRICT AND REQUIRES PERMANENT ZONING BEFORE DEVELOPMENT.

THE PROPOSED DETENTION POND WOULD SUPPORT APPROXIMATELY 40 ACRES TOTAL FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.

PROPOSED USES IN THE PD INCLUDE DETENTION, POND, PARK, PARK, PEDESTRIAN AMENITIES, FOOD, TRUCK, COURTYARD, AND FUTURE ACTIVATION PADS.

THE DEVELOPMENT MUST FOLLOW THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES REGULATIONS, UM, AND THE DETENTION POND MUST BE KEPT AT A MINIMUM DEPTH OF FOUR FEET AND INCLUDE A PAVED WALKING PATH AROUND PROPOSED ARCHITECTURAL REGULATIONS REQUIRED THAT A WATER FOUNTAIN MUST BE PROVIDED AS WELL AS SEATING AND DECORATIVE LIGHTING AROUND THE WALKING PATH.

ADDITIONALLY, THE SITE MUST BE LANDSCAPED ALONG THE ENTIRETY OF THE WALKING PATH.

THE CITY PROVIDED NOTICE AS REQUIRED BY STATE LAW AND HELD A PUBLIC HEARING ON JULY 27TH.

STAFF HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY WRITTEN PROTESTS OR SUPPORT LETTERS AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FORWARD A POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THE ZONING AMENDMENT.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, UH, PLEASE GO AHEAD, UH, IN THE QUEUE.

SO I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND RECOGNIZE COUNCIL MEMBER KURK.

THANK YOU.

SO, UM, THIS LOCKS THEM INTO SOMETHING SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU PUT ON THE SCREEN, WHICH WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US HERE.

ESSENTIALLY LOCKS THIS IN.

BUT FURTHER ENHANCEMENTS ARE NOT LOCKED IN.

IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.

UM, SO TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THIS WE HAD DISCUSSED PREVIOUSLY A MORE, NOT ELABORATE, UH, JUST A LITTLE MORE, UM, DETAILED, UM, RENDERING THAT HAD HAD SOME MORE FOUNTAINS.

UM, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT ONE FOUNTAIN IS NOT ADEQUATE FOR THIS, UM, AMOUNT, UM, OF WATER, UM, ADDITIONAL OPTIONS LIKE PERGOLAS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO HOW DO WE RECONCILE THAT? WE'RE APPROVING THIS TODAY, BUT WE WANT MORE.

HOW DO WE GET TO THAT POINT, TO THAT PLACE? AND I'LL DEFER TO DAVID TO ANSWER.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

DAVID GWEN, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT? YES, THE NEGOTIATIONS ARE UNDERWAY FOR ENHANCEMENTS TO THIS BASE.

THIS IS THE BASE.

UM, RIGHT NOW WE'RE WAITING FOR COST TO COME IN.

UM, I'M EXPECTING THAT TO COME VERY SHORTLY.

HEREAFTER.

THIS IS THE FIRST READING OF THE ORDINANCE, SO I'M GONNA TRY TO SYNC THE ENHANCEMENT PACKAGE UP WITH YOUR SECOND.

OKAY.

SO IF THAT ENHANCEMENT PACK PACKAGE IS NOT READY BY A SECOND READING, WE BETTER NOT HAVE A SECOND READING YET.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE, ? SURE.

OKAY, BECAUSE I, I CAN'T APPROVE THIS ON A SECOND.

READING.

OKAY.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

ALRIGHT.

DAVID, DON'T GO TOO FAR.

.

I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING.

CAN YOU JUST TELL PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT HAVE NOT SEEN THIS, I MEAN, WHAT E JOY'S READ? I MEAN, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY WOULD UNDERSTAND WHAT ALL THAT MEANS, WHERE THIS IS AND, AND WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS AND WHAT THE OUTCOME OF WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO GET.

YES, MAYOR, I'M GLAD TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY.

THE INTENT HERE IS TO ACTUALLY TAKE WHAT IS A VERY FUNCTIONAL DETENTION FACILITY AND TURN IT INTO WHAT'S, UH, AN AMENITY FOR THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT OF THIS AREA.

AND SO THAT'S WHERE THE DETENTION POND BECAME MORE OF A WATER FEATURE WITH A LOT OF RECREATIONAL USES AROUND THAT, UH, PARTICULAR FACILITY.

AND SO YOU'VE GOT YOUR WALKING PATH, YOU'VE GOT A FOOD TRUCK COURT, YOU'VE GOT LIGHTING, YOU'VE GOT EXERCISE, UM, UH, FEATURES.

ALL OF THOSE ARE BEING WORKED ON AS PART OF THE ENHANCEMENT TO THE PACKAGE.

UM, THE DEVELOPER IS STILL ASSEMBLING COSTS.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE NOT HERE WITH A, A, A FULL BLOWN, UH, PROPOSAL.

BUT WE WILL GET THERE.

UM, AND THAT DEVELOPER, UM, IS FULLY COMMITTED TO THIS.

IN FACT, HIS REPRESENTATIVE IS IN THE AUDIENCE, UM, TONIGHT.

UM, SO I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY DAYLIGHT BETWEEN US.

UM, WE'RE JUST A LITTLE OFF IN TERMS OF OUR NEGOTIATIONS AND, AND THIS PROJECT IS SO CRITICAL TO TRY TO KEEP THE TIMELINE GOING TO MEET THE DEVELOPERS' COMMITMENTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SPROUTS PROJECT.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE, WE'RE REALLY MOVING EVERYTHING FORWARD.

THERE'S THREE DIFFERENT PROJECTS GOING HERE ALL AT ONE TIME.

OKAY.

SO WHERE IS THE LOCATION? THIS THE, THE, WHERE'S THE LOCATION OF THIS? THE, THIS IS LOCATED AT THE CORNER OF VICKSBURG AND STATE HIGHWAY SIX.

SO I'M IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA OF, UM, OUR PREMIER RETAIL DESTINATION RIGHT NOW.

OKAY.

SO SINCE I'M ON QUEUE, I JUST WANNA LET EVERYONE KNOW THIS WAS GONNA TURN INTO A, JUST A REGULAR, UH, HOPEFULLY WATER, UH, UH, DETENTION POND.

AND, UH, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

[00:25:01]

SO ON THE RIGHT HAND OF THIS FOUND WOULD BE CINEMA MARK OR FURTHER DOWN WOULD BE CINEMA MARK.

SO THAT IS WHERE THIS LOCATED.

INSTEAD OF HAVING SOMETHING THAT WHERE WE CAN SEE OFF OF HIGHWAY SIX OFF OF, UH, YOU KNOW, FORT BEND TOLL ROAD, THAT YOU WILL NOW BE ABLE TO HAVE A, UH, WATER ALL YEAR ROUND WITH A FEATURE THAT PEOPLE COULD PARK AND WALK AROUND AND ENJOY THE DINING EXPERIENCE AND DO ALL OF THOSE THINGS.

AND THAT'S WHY THIS IS COMING FOR US, RIGHT? FULLY ACTIVATING THE ENTIRE AREA IS THE GOAL SINCE WE STARTED WITH THE PROJECT SEVERAL MONTHS AGO.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT ANOTHER PIECE OF THAT, RIGHT? AND THEN YOU'LL, YOU'LL, SO IT'S A PART OF THE FIRST AND SECOND READING IS JUST TO BRING IT FORWARD THROUGH OUR COUNCIL.

AND THIS IS WHAT WE'RE PUSHING OUT.

AND KEEP IN MIND WITH THIS PROJECT THAT THERE'S, IS THERE ADDITIONAL COST TO THE CITIZENS? THERE IS COST.

UM, AND THAT'S WHY IN FACT, IT'S THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PART RIGHT NOW.

WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE GOT A SOLID COST THAT THE DEVELOPER'S HAPPY WITH BEFORE WE BRING THAT TO THE COUNSELOR.

OKAY.

SO THIS IS THE PIECE THAT WE'RE GETTING.

I, ALLEN I THINK I DESERVE A SPOT ON THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR EXPLAINING ALL THIS .

BUT ANYWAY, UM, SEEING NO ONE ELSE ON THE QUEUE, UH, IS THERE A MOTION? LET'S GET THE MOTION.

THERE'S BEEN A MOTION BY, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER KURK, SECONDED BY MAYOR PROAM KLAUSER.

SEEING NO ONE ELSE ON THE QUEUE.
