A PUBLIC COMMENT CARD SHOULD BE PRESENTED TO THE CITY SECRETARY PRIOR TO THE MEETING. ACCORDING TO THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT, COUNCIL IS PROHIBITED FROM DISCUSSING ANY ITEM NOT POSTED ON THE AGENDA, BUT WILL TAKE COMMENTS UNDER ADVISEMENT. I HAVE A COUPLE CARDS.

MARTY HOBART I'M GOOD. THANKS, SIR. AND I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE, MR. BURBA. HOPE I GOT THAT RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. AWESOME.

IF YOU'LL JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE.

FRED BURLBAW, 1803 PONDEROSA TRAIL. I NOTICED ON THE CONSENT AGENDA YOU WERE ASKING FOR TO SPEND A QUARTER PERCENT OF 1% ON THE STREETS AND ROADS LIKE WE HAVE IN THE PAST FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS.

THE REASON I'M HERE IS TO ASK YOU TO SPEND SOME OF THIS MONEY ON OUR STORMWATER RUNOFF.

I DON'T SEE ANY MONEY BEING SPENT IN THE CITY ON STORMWATER RUNOFF.

I'VE LIVED ON PONDEROSA TRAIL FOR OVER 25 YEARS, AND THE DRAINAGE DITCHES HAVE NEVER BEEN CLEANED OUT THERE.

AND IF YOU RECALL, SOME YEARS AGO, FRONTIER, WHEN THEY WENT TO THE HOUSE, THE CITY ALLOWED THEM TO PUT THEIR FIBEROPTIC IN THIS DRAINAGE DITCH WITH ABOUT 12IN OF COVER ON IT.

SO I CAN'T GO CLEAN THE DITCH OUT. IT'S IN YOUR EASEMENT.

I HAVE TALKED TO THE CITY PUBLIC WORKS AND SAID THE WATER IS RUNNING FROM THE STREET INTO MY PROPERTY, PLEASE ADDRESS IT. THEY SAY WE'LL COME OUT THERE AND LOOK AT IT WHEN IT RAINS, AND SEE IF THERE'S WATER RUNNING INTO YOUR YARD.

AND, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN TAKE A LASER OUT THERE OR SURVEY INSTRUMENTS AND CHECK THIS OUT.

BUT IF YOU LOOK AROUND THE CITY, I DON'T SEE ANY MONEY BEING SPENT ON STORMWATER RUNOFF. AND WE PAY ON OUR UTILITY BILL EVERY MONTH FOR THAT.

SO I'M ASKING YOU, IMPLORING YOU SPEND SOME MONEY ON STORMWATER RUNOFF SO PEOPLE'S HOUSES STOP GETTING FLOODED.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. BURLBAW. ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL AT THIS TIME? SEEING NONE, WE'LL MOVE ON. NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM C COUNCIL STAFF REPORTS AND UPDATES.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM E ACTION ITEMS.

[1. Consider approving a resolution awarding a primary depository services contract to American National Bank and authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to negotiate and execute all agreements necessary to implement the contract.]

THE STAFF WENT THROUGH EVALUATING THE DIFFERENT OPTIONS THAT WE HAVE AND THEN ULTIMATELY GIVING YOU A RECOMMENDATION AS TO WHICH DEPOSITORY SERVICE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH. HELLO, MR. BALDWIN. HELLO, MAYOR, COUNCIL.

TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, CHAPTER 105, WHICH IS THE MUNICIPAL DEPOSITORY ACT, REQUIRES THAT THE CITY COMPETITIVELY SOLICIT FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS TO PROVIDE PRIMARY DEPOSITORY SERVICES AT LEAST EVERY FIVE YEARS.

OUR CURRENT AGREEMENT WITH THE AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK OF TEXAS BEGAN JUNE 1ST, 2020 AND ENDS MAY 31ST, 2025, WHICH WOULD BE THOSE FIVE YEARS. AS WE NEAR THE END OF OUR CONTRACT, VALLEY VIEW CONSULTING ASSISTED US IN THE REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS OR RFA PROCESS. THE FORMAL PROCESS BEGAN SEPTEMBER 30TH WITH A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS.

ON OCTOBER 3RD WE ADVERTISED THE DEPOSITORY BANK NOTICE IN SACHSE NEWS.

NOVEMBER 7TH, CITY RECEIVED APPLICATIONS FROM FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS.

PROPOSALS WERE RECEIVED BY THE AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK OF TEXAS AND WELLS FARGO BANK.

AND ON DECEMBER 18TH, WE MET WITH VALLEY VIEW TO FINALIZE STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS.

[00:15:03]

THERE ARE 11 SELECTION CRITERIA USED, INCLUDING THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE REQUESTED SERVICES, REFERENCES, COST, POTENTIAL TRANSITION COST, INTEREST PAID AND OTHERS LISTED THERE.

VALLEY VIEW CONSULTING PROVIDED A FINANCIAL ANALYSIS TO COMPARE THE IMPACT OF SERVICE FEES AND INTEREST RATES OFFERED BY EACH BANK.

BOTH PROPOSING INSTITUTIONS EXHIBITED ACCEPTABLE FINANCIAL STRENGTH, COMPETITIVE FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS, AND STRONG NET TWO AND FIVE YEAR INCOME. AND THEN, WHILE WELLS FARGO NET INCOME DOES EXCEED AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK OF TEXAS, STAFF WOULD NEED TO LEAVE CITY LIMITS TO USE MURPHY WELLS FARGO LOCATION FOR NON ATM DEPOSITS.

STAFF FOUND THAT ATM DEPOSITS WERE WERE NOT VIABLE.

SO STAFF IS PLEASED WITH OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK OF TEXAS.

AND FOR THOSE REASONS, STAFF RECOMMENDS AWARDING THE PRIMARY DEPOSITORY BANK CONTRACT TO AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK OF TEXAS.

THANK YOU, MR. BALDWIN. THANK YOU. QUESTIONS FOR MR. BALDWIN FROM COUNCIL. MRS. BUHLER. HOW FREQUENTLY ARE DEPOSITS MADE? APPROXIMATELY THREE TIMES A WEEK. THREE TIMES A WEEK.

I SAW IN THE PAPERWORK THAT IT WOULD BE $24,000 IN LOST INCOME IF WE GO WITH AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK OVER WELLS FARGO, AND THE JUSTIFICATION IS BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE TO THE OFFICERS WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE OUT OF THE CITY.

YEAH, $24,000 OVER TWO YEARS. OVER TWO YEARS.

WELLS FARGO HAS TWO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, ONE IS RIGHT.

SO THE MORE CONVENIENT ONE AS FAR AS SERVICES, ONCE YOU GET TO THE LOCATION, WOULD BE CITY OF MURPHY.

IT'S A DRIVE UP LOCATION. YOU KNOW, YOU HAND THE BAG OVER, THEY COUNT THE MONEY YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, A GOOD CHAIN OF CUSTODY, OF TRANSFERRING THE MONEY.

THE OTHER LOCATION IS AT THE CITY OF SACHSE, BUT AT THAT LOCATION, INSTEAD OF A DRIVE THRU, THE OFFICER WOULD NEED TO TO PARK AT THAT LOCATION TO WALK IN.

ALL OF THE DEPOSITS ARE PUT IN A DEPOSIT BAG AND SEALED IN A IN A LOCKED BAG.

WE'D NEED TO GIVE THAT OFFICER THE KEY TO UNLOCK THAT BAG.

THEY WOULD NEED TO OPEN UP POLY BAGS WITH ALL OF THE DEPOSITS, TAKE OUT THE CHECKS AND DEPOSIT THOSE IN THE ATM, DEPOSIT THE CASH IN THE ATM AND THEN COINS WE'D HAVE TO FIGURE OUT ANOTHER SOLUTION, SO YEAH.

IT ALSO MENTIONED THE THE STAFFING AT THE LOCATION IS INADEQUATE.

IS THAT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE FIXED IN THE NEXT, YOU KNOW, COUPLE OF MONTHS AND MAYBE THAT BE A VIABLE OPTION? MORE THE SERVICES PROVIDED, NOT MEANT TO DIRECTLY RELATE TO THE STAFFING BUT THE SERVICES OFFERED.

THEY DO, THEY CAN YOU KNOW, IF SOMEONE IS AVAILABLE, THEY CAN TAKE CHECKS.

HOWEVER, CASH NEEDS TO BE DEPOSITED AT, AT THE ATM.

SO IT'S JUST THE SERVICES THAT THEY PROVIDE. THEY DON'T HAVE YOUR TELLER SERVICE THAT YOU HAVE AT THE MURPHY LOCATION AT THE AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK OF TEXAS LOCATION.

OKAY. THANK YOU. MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKS. IS THERE A REQUIREMENT THAT THE BANK BE IN SACHSE.

THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE PREFERRED IN OUR IN THE REQUEST FOR APPLICATION.

SO NO, IT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT. NO, ACTUALLY, THE CHARTER REQUIRES IT TO BE IN SACHSE.

SO, YES, IT IS REQUIRED. IT'S REQUIRED. OKAY, SO HOW MANY BANKS DO WE HAVE IN SACHSE NOW, TWO? TWO. PRETTY MUCH. THAT'S, I COULDN'T THINK OF ANYBODY ELSE, THAT'S WHY I WAS THINKING [INAUDIBLE] OR ONE AND A HALF.

YOU COULD SORT OF SAY. ANYBODY ELSE ON COUNCIL HAVE QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? THANK YOU, MR. BALDWIN. ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS ITEM? ALL RIGHT. HEARING NONE. I'LL TAKE DISCUSSION OR MOTIONS FROM COUNCIL.

MR. LINDSEY. YES, SIR. MAKE A MOTION THAT WE PASS E1 AS PRESENTED.

MOTION BY MR. LINDSEY TO APPROVE ITEM E1 AS PRESENTED.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? MRS. BUHLER. I HAD A FURTHER COMMENT.

OKAY, YOU CAN SECOND IT. OKAY. SECOND. OKAY. SECOND.

AND NOW WE HAVE A COMMENT SO YOU'RE ON GO AHEAD.

SO JUST TO CONFIRM, IS AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK OUR ONLY OPTION SINCE THE WELLS FARGO WOULD BE IN MURPHY.

SO WE HAVE THE OPTION HERE IN WELLS FARGO HERE.

BUT I THINK I WANT TO CLARIFY A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT MR. BALDWIN WAS SAYING. THEY DON'T HAVE TELLER SERVICE HERE.

SO WHAT YOU HAVE IS A PERSON THERE THAT CAN HELP WITH SOME THINGS, BUT THEY'RE NOT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A TYPICAL TELLER WINDOW.

PRIMARILY WHAT THEY'RE THERE REALLY IS TO OPEN NEW ACCOUNTS OR HELP YOU WITH LOANS, THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO IT'S JUST WE'RE COMPARING TWO BASICALLY DIFFERENT KINDS OF SERVICES.

THE TRADITIONAL BANK THAT WE HAVE WITH AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK AND WELLS FARGO, WHICH IS REALLY MORE OF A BRANCH WITH SOME ATMS AND A PERSON THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP

[00:20:08]

OKAY. AND BRANCH LOCATION OR PRIMARY LOCATION IS JUST FINE.

SO THEY BOTH QUALIFY. OKAY. I HATE TO LOSE $24,000 IN INCOME OVER TWO YEARS, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S NOT REALLY A FULL SERVICE OPTION THAT WILL MEET OUR NEEDS. THE OTHER THING IS THE SAFETY ASPECT OF WE DON'T WANT A POLICE OFFICER TO BE OFF THE STREET PUTTING MONEY INTO AN ATM TO MAKE DEPOSITS.

WE WANT THEM TO BE ABLE TO TAKE THAT LOCKED BAG, GO IN AND BE ABLE TO GO TO A TELLER AND HAVE THAT TRANSACTION HANDLED THAT WAY.

AND ALSO, IF WE NEED THE EXTRA SERVICES TO NOT LEAVE THE CITY LIMITS.

OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION. MR. MILLSAP.

I THINK IT WAS CLARIFIED, BUT DEPOSITS ARE MADE BY A POLICE OFFICER, RIGHT? IN THE PAST, IT'S BEEN MADE BY FINANCE STAFF OR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

CURRENTLY, CURRENT PRACTICE IS THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

SO IF THEY WERE HAVING TO GO TO THE ADJOINING CITY TO DO THAT, WE'D HAVE ONE OF OUR EMERGENCY VEHICLES AND OUR EMERGENCY OFFICERS, OUR FIRST RESPONDERS OFF DUTY OR UNAVAILABLE FOR EMERGENCY.

SO I THINK THAT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE THINK ABOUT THAT ALSO.

AND THAT'S A POLICY FOR THE AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK BEING LOCAL SERVICE.

YES, CORRECT. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? WE DO HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

WE HAVE A SECOND. SHE DID YEAH. OKAY. HEARING NONE.

PLEASE CAST YOUR BALLOT. GOOD QUESTION THOUGH.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. ITEM F ADJOURNMENT.

THE TIME MRS. GRANGER. 6:51 P.M.. I GOT YOU SORRY ABOUT THAT.

OKAY, WE ARE ADJOURNED AT 6:51 P.M..
